COMMUNICATIONS: The City Clerk read a memo from the Zoning Board in regard to a setback request of Mr. and Mrs. H.R. Criswell, 108 East Knapp Avenue. Councilman Dietz stated that he understands that there is a question as to whether this recommendation should be from the Zoning Board or the Board of Adjustments. Mr. Criswell spoke to the Council about his request. Mayor Armstrong explained to Mr. Criswell that this recommendation is coming from the wrong board. We have a board which handles variances and this is in compliance with the State law. He explained that an application must be made out through the City Clerk to obtain a variance from the proper board, and then it comes to the Council for final approval. The Zoning Board acted upon something that they should have referred to the City Clerk for the Board of Adjustments. o Q Mr. Criswell was instructed to see the City Clerk and she will help him go through the proper channels with this. The City Clerk read a letter from Senator Lawton Chiles asking for our views on doing a better job of making Federal assistance programs available to small Cities and Counties in need. She stated that she will answer this letter when the Council gives her some of their views. The City Clerk read a letter from E.Irene Beckham, City Manager of the City of New Smyrna Beach in regard to two studies which will be made by the Department of Transportation in regard to various grants for a bus service. Edgewater will be included in one of these studies. Mayor Armstrong stated that an acknowledgment should be returned to Mrs. Beckham. The City Clerk read another letter from Mrs. Beckham in regard to the Palmetto Street Bridge, asking that the Edgewater City Council determine whether it still upholds its intent as in Resolution No. 524, and inform them so that the City of New Smyrna may take appropriate action also. Mayor Armstrong stated that he spoke to Mr. Buck several months ago about this situation, and he told Mr. Buck to get some figures together on what they pro- pose to do and how it is to be funded, and he would bring this up to our Council. He went on to explained that since this time a State law has been passed requiring an inspection of all bridges in the municipalities. He said that Mr. Buck thought that we should have Florida Concrete and Pipe Company make us some culverts to put in it and cover it over. Councilman Sikes stated that he thinks back in 1974 we had our engineers check this bridge out, and they told us that the base of the bridge was basically sound that all it needed was surfacing. Councilman Dietz stated that we should send them a letter stating that we are still interested and that the Resolution still stands. Councilman Dietz made a motion that we instruct the City Clerk to write a letter to the active City Manager reconfirming our position on the bridge, being seconded by Councilman Riggs. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 4-0. The City Clerk read a letter from Don Sikorski, Assistant Director of Planning and Development for the County of Volusia with reference to 701 Planning Assistance Grant Preapplication, which is required by the Florida Department of Community Affiars in order to qualify for planning assistance funds. The deadline on this is January 31, 1977. The City Clerk answered questions from the Council about her conversation with Mr. Sikorski about this. Mayor Armstrong stated that a Resolution on this will come later on during this meeting. The City Clerk read a letter from Lawrence J. Kelly, Chairman, Volusia Council of Governments asking that a questionaire be filled out in order that the Volusia Council of Governments' Water Quality Management Planning Program can assess the best institutional methods for implementing the technical portions of the 208 Plan. Tape lB The City Clerk stated that Mr. Yackel picked up this information and he will study this over and return it to her. The City Clerk read the General Fund Budget Report for the month of December. The City Clerk read a letter from Mr. Boning, 3129 Woodland Drive, stating that the last the road crew worked on Woodland Drive they dug out the coquina in his driveway and now it is difficult for him to drive unto his property. -2- o o Councilman Dietz made a motion to turn this over to Councilman Riggs, being seconded by Councilman Sikes. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 3-1. Mayor Armstrong voting NO. AUDIENCE MISCELLANEOUS: Mrs. Murphy stated to the Council that she is dedicated to preserving our waterfront which she considers a capital asset comparable to our climate. She stated that presently there is a house being built on Riverside Drive east of the road, and there are discrepancies between two surveys of this property. She questioned why no variance was sought from the Board of Adjustments before this building started? She stated that if a public hearing had been held the people living in that area could have gotten some answers about this. She spoke of some talk that this man has reparian rights to this property. She explained that if this sort of thinking prevails there will not be a lot on the east of Riverside Drive that you can not build on. Councilman Dietz suggested that this is a question for our Building Inspectors and if he gives us assurance that this is all proper then it is up so someone to bring cause. Mayor Armstrong assured Mrs. Murphy that he will have some answers to this by our next meeting. Councilman Sikes questioned whether we are measuring from the bulk head line or the actual land, if it is from the bulk head line it should cover it. There was discussion about the taxes paid on this property and the tax roles could be used to figure out the property size exactly. Mr. Christy was given the floor and he stated that he is still being asked what the City has decided to do about the radioactive fallout Resolution that was proposed by him. The City Clerk read the Resolution: RES. NO. 697 A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR PROTECTION FROM RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT IN NEW CITY BUILDINGS AND IN ADDITIONS TO EXISTING CITY BUILDINGS. Councilman Dietz made a motion that we adopt this Resolution, being seconded by Councilman Riggs. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 4-1. Mayor Armstrong voting NO. (Councilwoman Webber came into the building while the Resolution was being read.) RES. No. 695 A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS TO INCLUDE EDGEWATER IN ITS APPLICATION TO THE U".S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR LOCAL PLANNING ASSISTANCE FUNDS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JULY 1, 1977, REPEALING ALL RESOLUTIONS IN CONFLICT HEREWITH AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE THEREFOR. Attorney Gillespie read this Resolution in full. Councilman Dietz made a motion to adopt this Resolution, being seconded by Councilman Sikes. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0. -3- o o Attorney Gillespie apologized for not having a written opinion in reference to the bid from Tomoka Refuse for the garbage franchise. He stated that he will give an oral opinion and back it up later with a written one. He stated that it is his opinion that the bid has not been repealed and it is still standing and valid. He stated that he feels that the City would be safe if they choose Tape 2A to do so to adopt the Resolution authorizing the entry into a contract with this individual corporation based upon the bid. Mayor Armstrong stated that he is also concerned about the fact that we had no estimate of a contract as required under Section 45, page 12 of the Charter and no certification of funds, under Section 46, page 13 of the Charter. He read from other Sections of the Charter which are related to awarding a con- tract. Attorney Gillespie stated that all of these things are preliminary to going out on bids and should have been taken into account before you even considered advertising for bids, and if the City did not lay the ground work properly, then the advertising for the bids or the expenditure of this substantial amount of money should have not been undertaken. Councilman Dietz explained that we have budgeted the amount of $74,995. for our Garbage and Trash Department, and the bid for this was only $70,000 so we have exceeded the bid price, and we have certification of this because it was budgeted. Mayor Armstrong stated that we do have a total of $75,000 or a prorated $6,250. per month. $6,250 per month is far short of the monthly charge that we will have on the contract presently. Councilman Dietz stated that the anticipated revenue is estimated at $84,000. Mayor Armstrong stated that the income was anticipated but not appropriated. Councilman Dietz stated to Attorney Gillespie that this was all given consideration prior to going out for bids, it was all anticipated in the budget and we could sit here and argue this point for now on. We have no valid argument against this. Mayor Armstrong read a section from the contract in regard to the workmen's compensation, stating that every time they get an increase the contract will go up, and he understands that they are facing a 32% increase right now. Councilman Dietz stated that we will have the same thing within the City. He added that one thing that was not pointed out is that if we don't enter into this contract we are going to raise the rates of the citizens of Edgewater to $5.00 a month. He asked if we want to get it from the people of if we want to give something to the people? Mayor Armstrong stated that he wants to recongize that 480 some people who asked that we exhaust our every effort to keep it. Councilman Dietz stated that we have worked on this for six months. Mr. Opal was given the floor, he reported on a meeting he attended about the landfill of the Vol usia County Environmental Control Committee. He stated that the Tomoka Landfill will be open for only two more years. Where will this take us the next three years if we enter into a five year contract? He stated that he is opposed to this contract. Councilman Dietz asked that the attorney be instructed to read the Resolution. RES. NO. 692 A RESOLUTION AWARDING THE CONTRACT FOR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL FOR THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA, TO TOMOKA REFUSE, INC., ORMOND BEACH, FLORIDA, REJECTING ALL OTHER BIDS, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY CONTRACTUAL DOCUMENTS TO AWARD THE CONTRACT, REPEALING ALL RESOLUTIONS IN CONFLICT HEREWITH AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE THEREFOR. 4 o o Attorney Gillespie read the Resolution in full. Councilman Dietz made a motion to adopt this Resolution, being seconded by Councilman Sikes. Mr. Gross asked about the six employees that the City has who are working in the Garbage Department, whether we will be able to keep them or will we have to pay unemployment for them? Councilman Sikes stated that it is our intention to try to work these men in other areas of the City. Councilman Dietz called for the question. Mrs. Murphy was given the floor. She asked a question about the landfill. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 3-2. Councilman Riggs and Mayor Armstrong voting NO. Councilman Dietz made a motion that while the attorney is here and the engineers are here that if there are any questions on the contract that they be answered and that we go ahead with the signing of the contract, Councilman Sikes asked the attorney to read Section 13 of the contract. There is a blank in this Section that must be filled in, about the amount of monthly payments the City is to make to Tomoka Refuse. Mr. Fernandez and the man from Tomoka Refuse spoke to the Council about this contract. Councilman Dietz suggested that Mr. Fernandez and the representative from Tomoka Refuse meet with the City Clerk in the morning and get this straightened out. Councilman Sikes stated that he wants some clarification as to how this will effect our other franchise operator. Mr. Fernandez stated that he is cut off at his current clients. He is protected with this listing and will not be effected in any way. The City Clerk stated that there is a blank in the Resolution as to the effective date. Councilman Dietz stated that she is to get all of these blanks filled out tomorrow and make next Monday night official signing of the contract. Councilman Sikes stated that we do not want to enfringe on any of Triange Service's rights as far as his franchise is concerned, and we have to be sure that we are not signing away any of their rights. It was agreed that these people will meet with the City Clerk at 10:00 on Tuesday morning to discuss the contract. There was no second to Councilman Dietz's motion to sign the contract. It was agreed that things have to be put in order and the contract has to be completed so that it can be signed next Monday night. At this time the City Clerk read a certification of bids received in regards to a generator to be used for the Wastewater Treatment Plant. She explained that a gentleman handed her another bid at 4:32 as she was leaving City Hall. Attorney Gillespie stated that the advertisement that was published in the newspaper in compliance with the law is what you have to go by, which read that 4:00 was the deadline for bids to be received. -5- o o Councilman Sikes made a motion that we return that bid unopened to Cummings along with the copy of the advertisement, being seconded by Councilman Dietz. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0. The City Clerk opened the bids she received. Modern Power, Inc.-bid was Tape 2B $13,200.00, Marine Industrial Equipment Corp. - bid was $13,325.00 Mr. Fernandez looked over the bids with the Council. Councilman Dietz made a motion that the City Council accept the bid from Modern Power, Inc. in the amount of $13,200.00 and reject all other bids, being seconded by Councilman Riggs. Mayor Armstrong asked where the $13,200.00 is going to come from? Councilman Dietz stated that he is going to take this out of Federal Revenue, which was set aside for this purpose by the Council in 1974 for expansion of the Water and Sewer Treatment Plant. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 4-1. Mayor Armstrong voting NO. RES. NO. 696 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA ACCEPTING THE BID OF MODERN POWER, INC. FOR THE AMOUNT OF $13,200.00 FOR THE PURCHASE OF A 100 KW GENERATOR TO BE USED BY THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OF THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA, REJECTING ALL OTHER BIDS AND DESIGNATING THE FUND FROM WHICH THE MONIES ARE TO BE PAID FOR THE GENERATOR AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND THE CITY CLERK TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH MODERN POWER, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE OF SAID GENERATOR, REPEALING ALL RESOLUTIONS IN CONFLICT HEREWITH AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Attorney Gillespie read the Resolution in full. Councilman Dietz made a motion to adopt this Resolution, being seconded by Councilman Sikes. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 4-1. Mayor Armstrong voting NO. Councilman Sikes asked Mayor Armstrong about putting deadlines as far as delivery. He added that we ordered police cars back in September and we don't have them yet. Mayor Armstrong stated that we also ordered some trucks and he will go along with putting deadlines on reasonable time to make delivery and if they don't make it by then, they have to forfeit their bonds with the bid. ORDINANCES: None OLD BUSINESS: The City Clerk explained the conversation she had with the man from Chesterfield about the merchandise which was delivered but no one actually ordered. She said that he will settle for the difference for what we paid on the freight, $48.83. The Council talked to Mr. Martine. He explained that he is going to use this to patch up the tennis courts. Councilman Dietz made a motion that we instruct the City Clerk to pay the $48.83 to cover the bill, being seconded by Councilman Riggs. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0. The City Clerk spoke to the Council about the anti-recession money that we have been talking about for weeks. She stated that she thought since no one can decide how they want the money spent that it would be a great idea to spend -6- Q o this money updating the Code. She said that she spoke with the auditor about this and he told her that he could see no reason why we couldn't spend the money this way. He is going to check into this and get back to us. She added that she feels that everyone in the City of Edgewater will benefit from this. The City Clerk was instructed to get a letter from the auditor in regard to this. Attorney Gillespie spoke to the Council about the Library bid bond. He stated that he feels that the bid bond that has been submitted by Harris complies with the law. He stated that he thinks it is a better bid bond than the surety bond route. Mayor Armstrong explained that since Mr. Gillespie has given us a good opinion of this, we should have a Resolution prepared for our next meeting. Mayor Armstrong stated that the next item is the compulsory connection charge in the Water Department. Councilman Dietz spoke on this. -He said that he thinks that we already have an Ordinance that requires the hook up, but he is going to find it. Mayor Armstrong stated that we do have a compulaory connection Ordinance, however it has been amended over the years. Councilman Dietz stated that last week we took a vote on whether we were going to hire a girl for the Water Department, and the Council couldn't come to a decision so the next day he instructed Mrs. Blackwell to go ahead and hire the girl because we had to have someone in that department. He said that if there is any contro- versy about it we should talk it over, but he and the City Clerk decided that this girl was the best qualified and she was hired. Councilman Sikes asked if he would like to have a vote to clear this up? Councilman Dietz stated that he would make it a motion to officially hire this girl, being seconded by Councilman Sikes. Councilwoman Webber stated that as she argued last week, the girl should be told that she is only working temporarily. She said that Mrs. Blackwell informed her that the last girl on will be the first girl to be let go and should we no longer need her that's when she will go. Councilman Dietz stated that we have a Merit Ordinance to this effect. There were some comments from the audience about husband and wives both working for the City, whether this is a good trend. It was again explained that these people work in differents departments with different hours and there is no con- fl i ct. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0. Mayor Armstrong stated that he knows we need a girl in that department, however we had a whole stack of applications and there was actually only one considered as far as being presented and that is the reason that he voted no before. Councilman Dietz stated that all of the applications were checked over by him, the City Clerk and Mrs. Kinsey. There were more comments from the audience about the Council voting on this last week, and then Councilman Dietz hiring the girl anyway. It was explained that this did not have to be brought to the Council in the first place. -7 - J o o NEW BUSINESS: Councilman Dietz stated that he would like to present to the Council plans for an expansion program in the Florida Shores area. ,This takes up an area from Indian River Boulevard to 22nd Street and from Juniper Drive to Sabel Palm, which will put water lines on all of these streets, connect all the dead ends and put fire hydrants within 690 feet of every home in that area. This plan was set forth by Briley Wild two years ago, and this is step one of it. The intention is to give better quality of water to the people and give them better fire protection. The estimate on the work, material and equipment comes to $7,329. The equipment rentals will be $1,120 to general government based on a rate of $15.00 an hour. He explained how this work is going to be done. He stated that he would like this money taken out of capital improvements. he stated that they did not charge any labor because we have the manpower, and he also wants to use CETA men in conjunction with the regular men. He added that we should be able to get this work done in about ten days. There was discussion about this among the Council members, and Mr. Fernandez. Councilman Dietz stated that in order to get a question on this, he made a motion that the City Council approve the expansion of the Water System, as outlined in the plan for the Florida Shores area, being seconded by Council- woman Webber. Councilman Sikes asked Mr. Fernandez if our City crews can do this? Mr. Fernandez stated that they can. Mayor Armstrong asked if he can certify to the City that this is a feasible operation? Mr. Fernandez stated that it is feasible and desirable. Councilman Riggs stated that he was under the impression that the CETA men can not be used in one department or the other? Mayor Armstrong stated that the CETA men can be used in any department, however under the enabling Ordinance which was ratified by the people prohibits the intermingling of funds between the general government or any funds that may be created hereafter, meaning Federal Revenue money, State Revenue money, or any money. He added that Ordinance 400 can not be amended unless 3/4 of the bond holders concur with the amendment. Councilman Dietz stated that if this is true than the $700,000.00 loan from F.H.A. is not valid. Mayor Armstrong read further from the Ordinance. Councilman Dietz told Attorney Gillespie that he spoke with the man who is ahead of the CETA program and asked him about the CETA employees being used in our Water and Sewer Department, which is a separate organization from our general fund, and he was told that the law states that the CETA employees are hired by the City of Edgewater, not by a certain department, and can be used in any manner we so choose as long as they are hired as laborers. He added that Ordinance 400 speaks to the bonds and we are not interfering with the bonds. Councilman Sikes read from a letter which was mailed to the CETA administration. Mr. Gross stated that this is discrimination, we should do the whole City. Councilman Dietz stated that this is the plan~ eventually. -~ o Q Councilman Dietz called for a vote. Mr. Gross still questioned him, and Councilman Dietz explained to him that these people do not have water or sewer, they are on septic tanks and there has been a law passed that has limitations onthe number of septic tanks to an area. By putting these lines in we will enhance the probabilities of building more houses in that area, and if we don1t put these lines in it is going to restrict our expansion. This is the plan that was developed two years ago. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 4-1. Mayor Armstrong voting NO. Councilman Dietz stated that since there have been so many arguments and questions about Ordinance 400, he made a motion that our City Attorney be instructed to take Ordinance 400 and read it and give us a complete opinion as to what this Ordinance restricts us to, what liberties we have and what stops we have, being seconded by Councilman Sikes. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED,5-0. Councilman Riggs stated that a man looked at the backhoe today, and fluid is leaking into the cylinders. Mr. Martine spoke to the Council about the problems they have been having with the backhoe. He explained that he spoke to the man and was told that an estimate would be ready for tonight. Councilman Riggs stated that he has the estimate in the amount of $1 ,004~97 to put it back into condition. He added that the grader is in bad need of tires, and this is going to run a little high, $1,493.56. Councilman Dietz made a motion that we authorize Councilman Riggs to enter into the proper agreements to buy the tires and repair the backhoe to put it in good shape, being seconded by Councilman Sikes. Mayor Armstrong stated that this is a terrific price for tires, he said that this is about 40% cheaper than a lot of other places. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0. Councilman Riggs stated that he has located and a man is interested in demonstrating a machine for the Council that will dig shell and clean the ditches. He will be out at the garage tomorrow morning at 9:00. It is called a Grade-all. Mayor Armstrong stated that we have a bill on workmen's compensation in the amount of $266.00, and he assumes that this is the audited bill. The City Clerk read the bill to the Council. Councilman Dietz made a motion that we pay the bill, being seconded by Council- man Sikes. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0. MISCELLANEOUS: Mayor Armstrong read a memorandum from Mr. Martine, supervisor of the Street Department in regard to Mr. Jack E. Walker. He read the grading on Mr. Walker1s evaluation sheet. Mr. Martine was asked to speak to the Council about this. He stated that for a long time Mr. Walker always misses Monday's calling in sick. He explained that some of the other men are getting touchy about this because Monday is a heavy work day for them. He stated that this is going to have to stop if he is going to work under him, and if he is sick on Monday morning than he wants a doctor's slip. -9 - o u Mayor Armstrong spoke to Mr. Walker, who was present at the meeting, stating that in one year1s time, he has missed seven Mondays out of fifteen days absence. He asked if there is any explanation as to why every time he was sick on Monday? Mr. Walker stated that the last time he was sick he did bring a doctorls slip in. He stated that he was never called into the office and told any- thing about being off on Mondays. He stated that he talked with Mr. Martine quite a while back about whether he preferred to work the garbage or the streets, and he told Mr. Martine that he would be a fool to want to work the garbage when it was on it's way out anyway. . Mr. Martine agreed that he never talked with Mr. Walker about the Mondays but recently several of the men have really gotten angry about this and he can not have it. There was some conversation about this. Councilman Dietz made a motion that we accept the recommendation of the superintendent of that department, and the man has the right to appeal to the Merit Board if he feels there is an injustice, being seconded by Councilwoman Webber. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0. Councilwoman Webber stated that she has brought this up before, but there is a terrific lack of communication between the Council decisions and the boards of the City. They have written to the Council asking for some direction as to the Council IS feelings on the different things, and they do not get it. She stated that we should at least pay them the curtiousy of giving them an answer when they ask for directions. Councilman Dietz stated that when this was brought up before and instructions were given to the City Clerk to see that the correspondence were made. The City Clerk stated that she has instructed to pick these things up out of the minutes and write memos on them, and she spent the better portion of an hour explaining to one member of the Zoning Board what the Council desired on the application from Mr. Hammond and some other things that came up, because there wasn't time to compose a letter. Councilman Sikes stated that if we act on something on Monday night and they have a meeting the next night, they might not get the information, but other than that they are getting the information aren't they? Councilwoman Webber stated no. The City Clerk explained that the girls get these messages from the minutes. Councilman Dietz stated that sometimes our minutes are two weeks late, and notes should be made separately on anything that should be referred to the boards, so that it can be done sooner. Mayor Armstrong stated that what bothers him is that people are being sent to the wrong board for decisions and the Council doesn't even know what has happened until after a decision has been made. Councilwoman Webber stated that one of the things that they want some direction on is about the mini shops that are being built. She also stated that too many people are giving out permits, and she spoke with Mr. Murphy about this and he will be more than happy to issue the permits and review them if the Council so wishes. Councilman Sikes stated that he thought we discussed that the Charter says that the City Clerk is to issue the permits. Councilwoman Webber stated that she asked Mrs. Blackwell to look this up. -10- , .-. Q u The City Clerk stated that she did not have time to look it up. Councilman Dietz stated that agrees that this would work, however Mr. Murphy is not an employee of the City, he is under contract. The City Clerk explained the system for signing permits, explaining that they all go to the Mayor, and if he feels that there is any question, he brings it to the Council. ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Sikes made a motion to adjourn, being seconded by Councilman Dietz. Said motion CARRIED.
