The letter is in regards to them having their lot surveyed and found that the Northwest corner is in the road, they would like to have this looked into. It was decided that this should be tabled until August 2nd. Councilman Dietz suggested that the City Clerk contact Mr. Swoope and Mr. Cory and get the surveys and study this. Mayor Armstrong agreed with this. The City Clerk read a letter from Nyoda Vantura of 1929 Kumquat Drive. She has a problem and would like to know what is next door at 1928 Juniper Drive. Mayor Armstrong stated that he went to look at the property in question. He went on to say that there was a sundeck with a roof over it not put together very well. They never did have a building permit for this. He stated that he had talked to the man next door at the time about cleaning it up but since then they have moved. He thinks that this should be given to the Chief of Police and the Building Official and have them check it out. If there is a violation we want it corrected. The City Clerk read a letter from the Board of Adjustments and Appeals. They are requesting that Mr. paul Loeffler, a member of the board who had to resign since he had accepted the job as Electrical Inspector for the City, be replaced by Mr. Larry Loeffler. It was decided that the appointment of Larry Loeffler would be a conflict since his father is the Electrical Inspector for the City. Councilman Sikes made a motion to advise the Board of Adjustments and Appeals that this would be a conflict, being seconded by Councilwoman Webber. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. 5-0 The City Clerk was asked to get Mr. Murphy the Building Official to furnish a copy of all the existing Building Codes for the Board of Adjustments and Appeals. She stated that they should already have this, it had been issued to them before. The City Clerk stated next is from Mr. Craig J. Gehlerd, the plans for the Library. Councilman Cairnie stated that the Library Board went over the plans for the Library today. There was just one change. This was discussed at length. The air conditioner was also discussed. Councilman Cairnie stated that we needed to have an approval on the floor plans for the Library. He made a motion that the floor plans that have been submitted to the Council be approved with the changes that he told the architect, being seconded by Councilman Dietz. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. 5-0 Councilman Cairnie stated that these plans are o.k. with the Library Board. The City Clerk read a letter from Mr. Harry E. Wild of Briley, Wild and Associates. The letter stated that the following equipment will be needed for the efficient operation of the sewage treatment plant: -2- u () 1. A Metler balance H31AR 2. A D.O. meter and probe with a BOD probe attachment 3. and miscellaneous pieces to make it work. Money has been appropriated for this. Mayor Armstrong explained that this is due to the request of Mr. Dietz at the last meeting, and he had questioned the necessity of this. He asked Mr. Fernandez what does this constitute that we don't have? Mr. Fernandez stated that the Metler balance is a new piece of equipment and a major improvement over the scale that you have right now. He explained the process to the Council. Mayor Armstrong asked if this is not the same that we have been except it is shorter? Mr. Fernandez stated that with less cycling yes. Mayor Armstrong asked if Mr. Fernandez feels that this is necessary before we complete the addition to the plant? Mr. Fernandez stated that it is the timing of the thing, it is not crucial that it be completed prior to the completion to the Treatment Plant. He explained that the accuracy,',- is important, and the weight gain is the crucial item in this. Mrs. Turner asked if the specifications for the new plant include this equipment? Mayor Armstrong answered no. Mr. Fernandez explained that if these items had been in the specifications the different fees would have gone up. This way the City can purchase the items and have no extra cost. He explained that this piece of equipment can be used at the new plant. Mayor Armstrong asked if there is anything wrong with the equipment that we have? He added that this is the most modern thing that they have now for making the tests. Mr. Fernandez stated that this is correct. Mayor Armstrong stated that Ordinance 400 says that, our Renewal and Replacement Account, we have to make an appropriation by Resolution. He stated that it seems that every time we get a little money ahead we have to change the system and go to something else. Councilman Dietz stated that we are not changing our equipment what we are changing is our method of testing to get more accurate tests in order to abide by the laws set forth by the E.P.A. Mayor Armstrong stated that we still have the same tests to make. We have been making these tests. Councilman Dietz stated that they are not accurate and that is why we have been in trouble. Mayor Armstrong stated that we have accused a man of making inaccurate tests, and he really didn't have the equipment to make the tests, now where does the problem lay? Councilman Dietz stated that this man was not educated and he did not know what he was making the tests for and he was not using the equipment properly. Councilman Cairnie asked Mr. Fernandez if this equipment is the recommendation of his engineering firm or the recommendation of the new Class C Operator we just hired? -3- u u Mr. "Fernandez stated that Mr. Pettit made the request and they concurred with it. He stated that Mr. Pettit made the request through Mr. Dietz to Mr. Wild. Councilman Cairnie asked if all of these years we have been using the improper equipment, why didn't the engineering firm instruct that an Ordinance be drawn to purchase this new equipment? Mr. Fernandez stated that this is a matter of priorities and where you want to spend your dollars. There really has not been any excess monies available in the Water and Sewer for these kind of purchases. He added that normally when new operators come in there is a tendancy to upgrade everything, because of the equipment they have used in the past. Councilman Cairnie asked if you were making the tests on the present equipment that we now have could you operate it and give a fairly good test? Mr. Fernandez stated that the accuracy level that we are talking about is about 5 millograms a meter change, this is as much as 4 or 5% which could be the difference in passing and failing. Councilman Sikes asked Mr. Fernandez if we will need this new equipment in our new plant? Mr. Fernandez stated that we will need a new scale in the new plant because of the increased solid removal requirements. Councilman Sikes asked if this 5% would make much of a difference. Tape 2-A Mr. Fernandez stated that it could be a significant difference. He explained the process of making the tests and explained how the time element is a factor. Councilman Cairnie asked if this new Class C Operator that we now have can make satisfactory reports using the present equipment? Mr. Fernandez stated that he would say yes. Councilwoman Webber asked if he feels that this is necessary now? Mr. Fernandez stated that now makes it difficult, however by next summer with the new plant in mind it should go in and be working. Mayor Armstrong stated that this satisfies his curiosity about this. He stated that the equipment could change in the next four months, since everything is changing so rapidly. Councilman Dietz stated that if we wait the price is going to go up. He stated that we are only talking about $1,775.00 over a time spand of thirteen years. Councilman Sikes asked in order to take this money out of the Renewal and Replacement Fund could we declare that this is replacing the present equipment. Mr. Fernandez stated that it is his interpretation that it could be taken out of the Renewal and Replacement Fund. Councilman Dietz asked the City Clerk if it would be an advantage to take this out of Renewal and Replacement since we will have to put it right back in? The City Clerk stated that you are suppose to maintain the $50,000 and she can not tell you right off of the top of her head how much is in there. If you take it out of the Revenue Fund it will have to be appropriated to the Renewal and Replacement and then dispensed. Mayor Armstrong explained that to do this it should be done by Resolution. He stated that it is up to the Council whether we do this now or later. -4- u Q Councilwoman Webber stated that she feels that we have had enought bad publicity about the reports that we have been giving and anything that we can do to correct this should be done immediately. Councilman Cairnie asked if the man is qualified to make the tests with this new equipment? Mr. Fernandez stated that he is. Councilman Cairnie stated that he can't make the tests as easily with the old equipment, that is the purpose of this, Mr. Fernandez stated that this is right. Councilman Dietz made a motion that the Council grant the purchase of this equipment for the Sewer Plant, being seconded by Councilman Sikes. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. 4-1 Councilman Cairnie voting NO. Councilman Dietz made a motion that we instruct the attorney to draw up the proper Resolution to draw the money out of Renewal and Replacement for this purchase, being seconded by Councilwoman Webber. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. 4-1 Councilman Cairnie voting NO. AUDIENCE MISCELLANEOUS: Mrs. Turner was given the floor. She stated that she would like to speak to the Council about the Garbage Collection. Mayor Armstrong asked if she would hold her remarks until later when that comes up. Mrs. Rich was given the floor. She stated that certain remarks that were made by Mr. Dietz at the last meeting which she attended she feels that he -should be censured for losing dignity in the chair. Mayor Armstrong stated that this is the prerogative of the Council if any charges are to be made. He stated that at times members of the audience also loose their tempers. At this time Councilman Dietz stated that he is not denying that he said the things that she mentioned. However we have a group that has been referred to as the hate group and these people come here constantly badgering the Council, trying to talk them down and over judge what the Council is trying to do. Our Charter, Ordinance 148 states that we have certain laws in regard to audience participation which we don't seem to adhere to. He stated that the members of the Council have obligations and responsibilites that they try to fill. He stated that their decisions are made after much study and research and with the hopes that they are helping every member of -the City of Edgewater. He stated that it does get aggraVating when people in the audience shout and yell at us when we are trying to make our decisions. He stated that if he hurt her feelings he is sorry, but he is referring to that group, and he believes that he is justified. She stated that she is one person, not a member of any group. Councilman Dietz stated yes, that she does belong to that group. He believes that if we will conduct our meetings as stated in Ordinance 148 it will relieve some of the pressure on the Council. We have so many things that we could fight for that would be beneficial to the town without fighting among ourselves on every little item. Mayor Armstrong stated that perhaps this is a beginning that we will conduct ourselves in a more dignified manner all the way around. -5- u u Mr. Bevel asked if he could bring up some questions in regard to EVER now or should he wait until Old Business. Mayor Armstrong stated that there is nothing under which this could be brought up. He could have it placed on the agenda for the next meeting. Mr. Bevel stated that we don't have an agenda meeting and there is no way to get on the agenda, and he wants to know how to get on the agenda. Councilman Dietz stated that a Council member can bring this up under Old Business. RESOLUTIONS: RES. NO. 665 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK OF THE CITY OF EDGEWATER " TO EXECUTE A REVENUE BOND ANTICIPATION NOTE TO THE SOUTHEAST lANK ,OF NEW "".,~., "f ,<SMYRNA ,'NEWSMYRNA--BEACH, FLORIDA FOR THE FINANCING OF THE SEWER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION IN THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA, REPEALING ALL RESOLUTIONS IN CONFLICT HEREWITH, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE THEREFOR. Attorney Woods read this Resolution in full. Councilman Cairnie made a motion to adopt this Resolution, being seconded by Councilwoman Webber. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. 5-0 ORDINANCES: None OLD BUSINESS: Mayor Armstrong stated that we had a meeting Friday at 1 :30 with Mr. Collins at the landfill for the purpose of inspecting the site. He stated that we do know what our problems are now. He stated that this is a decision that is up to the entire Council, because all Mr. Collins wants for his file is a record to show where we want to go and how we are going to get there. He stated that a petition from the citizens in regard to the garbage collection was tabled until after the meeting with Mr. Collins, and now the floor is open for discussion about this. Tape 2-B Councilman Sikes stated that the testing of the water that we gave Mr. Collins at the meeting is what we need to know the results of before we should really discuss this. We have not received the report back yet from that water test. Mayor Armstrong agreed that any discussion right now might be premature, however Mr. Collins did say that whether we keep the landfill open or not, we do have to take care of the water problem. Councilman Dietz stated that Mr. Collins more or less agreed with him that it would be almost impossible to draw the water table down in the landfill to five feet below the water table. He did say that he would give us a permit if we wanted to try it. He asked Mr. Fernandez what this entails to draw the water table down like this? Mr. Fernandez stated that it would entail continuous pumping. He said that you would probably not get to the five feet in the center of the landfill, however if the ditch is dug as shown, it would be seven feet and you would get your five feet there and probably in 200 feet all the way around the ditch. -6- u Q J '. T>> v Mr. Fernandez stated that the requirement is that your refuse be five feet above the water table. If you want to start five feet above normal ground in building the landfill, that is acceptable. Councilman Sikes asked if we pull this water level down how far will that go into the surrounding lands as far as lowering their water table? Mr. Fernandez stated that 500 feet would be within the influence of the pumping. On a shallow well located 1000 feet away, with all probability the difference would not be noticable. He explained the pumping process. Councilwoman Webber stated that she asked Mr. Collins point blank about the water in the landfill. If we could get all of the water out of there? He told her that we could probably remove the water but it will come back. She said that Mr. Collins also said that as long as there is no water in those ditches we will be allowed to keep our permit, but as soon as there is water in the ditches we will lose our permit. At this time Mrs. Turner was given the floor and she made a statement to the Council about digging a lake to help our landfill drain. She said that these suggestions were made by Mr. Druce to her and Councilman Cairnie at the seminar that they attended. Mr. Fernandez explained to the Council why a lake in the Edgewater landfill will not work. He stated that this is not a new idea and is mainly used at larger fills. Mayor Armstrong stated that he will have to agree with this. He stated that it is hi~ theory that if we could pump the old water out, as new water came in and it would continuously be cycled we would lick the problem of bacteria that we are concerned with. He said that Mr. McManamy said that if this water was pumped down then it could be run by a windmill operation continuously. Councilwoman Webber asked where this water would go? Mayor Armstrong stated that we would have to acquire a recharge area. Councilman Dietz read about the trench method as set up by the State, explaining that they are talking about a minimum of 15 feet. He pointed out again that Mr. Collins made the statement that he did not think that this could be done. Councilman Sikes spoke that we have done a good job at the landfill as far as the plans went, however we are to the point now, that the water that is in the ditches is contaminated to the point that we can not throw it in any other lands until it is first treated and purified. We could get rid of the water, but it is contaminated and even if we owned the land next the the landfill we probably couldn't throw the water over there. Mayor Armstrong stated that he feels that we should wait until we get the report back from Mr. Collins on the water tests that were made and given to him at the meeting. Councilman Cairnie stated that what bothers him is that Mr. Collins said that even if we close the dump we will have to take care of the water situation, and that will be an expense and we won't be able to use it. Tape 3-A Mayor Armstrong spoke on this subject, explaining that this is a very serious problem and decision to be made by the Council. He stated that he understands that the people of Edgewater want to keep the garbage and trash under the control of the City. He stated that we have a good organization; as a matter of fact, they only work four days a week in garbage and trash and we utilize those six men to the improvements for the City in mowing, cleaning and other facilities on Wednesday. If we didn't have these men we wouldn't get this. Councilman Dietz stated that what the Mayor just said is either misleading or erroneous somehow, because he was told last week that our trash is picked up on Wednesday, also that we have a man hired as a mechanic who is working on the garbage truck and he stated that he also knows that the trash is not -7- u u being charged to the Garbage and Trash Department, it is being charged to the Street Department, which is one of the reasons that we have a deficit in the Street Department, so we have a problem here of bookkeeping rather than profits and losses. He said that last year we took an accurate account of what we did in the Trash and Garbage Department and all of a sudden we are doing the same amount of work with the same amount of men and our expenses drop fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. He asked if this doesn't show an inadequancy some- where? Mayor Armstrong answered no. There has certainly been an improvement in the efficiency. Councilman Cairnie asked the City Clerk about this. She explained that the men in the Department were divided we knew were working on the garbage were charged to that the rest of them were charged to the Street Department. the difference in the workmen's compensation charges. up and the men department and She explained Councilman Sikes stated that he feels that we could keep these men on with the City to do some of these other jobs that the Mayor mentioned and also with the expanded Sewer system. Mayor Armstrong stated that he agrees with this, however where will the money come from? He explained that the CETA program runs out January 31st and we have six men on this program now. Councilman Sikes added that if we have to haul to Tomoka we will probably have to buy another truck to do it, and we will have to pay to dump it, and we must be thinking of the overall cost to the individual customer. Mayor Armstrong answered a few questions fromthe audience. He explained that they all agree and Mr. Collins agreed that we have one serious problem. We either have to lick the water problem at the landfill or go out of the garbage business. The thing is even if we go out of the garbage business we have to take care of the water problem. Councilman Sikes stated that there is one evening - it was brought to our attention have 1,000 foot buffer zone on each side. in issuing permits this should be kept in thing that we should act on this that a new law requires that we We should advise the County that mind. Mayor Armstrong entertained a motion that we go on record to notify the County Building Official that there is existing facilities there and anybody that builds within the buffer of it should be required the full amount to go to a deep well operation. Councilman Sikes stated that he would make that motion, being seconded by Councilman Dietz. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. 5-0 Councilman Dietz stated that he would suggest that the City Clerk write a letter to Mr. Collins in regard to the reports letting him know that we are waiting on this before we can make a decision. This was agreed on by all of the Council members. Mr. Fernandez was excused from the meeting. Mayor Armstrong stated that we discussed the police cars at the last meeting. We have copies of the specifications prepared. He asked the Chief if these specifications are subject to the same ones New Smyrna uses, and he asked if there was any type of a ballpark figure as the cost per unit? Chief Baugh stated yes this is what New Smyrna uses. The figures that New Smyrna got their vehicles for, however they were 19761s and he was informed that 19761s could not be ordered now they would have to be 1977. New Smyrna got their1s for $4843. and they anticipated an approximate 6% increase for a 1977. Mayor Armstrong stated then that a ballpark figure would be $5,000. -8- u o The necessity for purchasing new cars was discussed by the Council. It was agreed that we are spending entirely too much money on repairs for the cars that we have presently. Councilwoman Webber suggested that we consider buying one car now and at least two cars after the new fiscal year. Councilman Dietz asked if we would be in a better bargaining position if we went out for bids for three new cars? Mayor Armstrong recommended to the Council that we advertise for the bids of three 1976 or 1977 police patrol cars at this specification to be returned within thirty days. Councilwoman Webber stated that she makes that a motion, being seconded by Councilman Dietz. Upon roll call vote CARRIED. 4-1 Councilman Cairnie voted NO. There was much discussion about how this should be advertised. Tape 3-B Councilman Cairnie questioned if all of the specifications are necessary? Chief Baugh stated that some of the extras can be cut out and he will take care of that. Mayor Armstrong stated that he has an application for a Handyman's license from Mr. John N. Fraley, who lives on Mango Tree Drive. Councilman Dietz stated that we are getting quite a few of these, and he feels that we should get the Zoning Board on it. Mayor Armstrong explained that it is not really fair that some men have their businesses at home and others have to pay for a business office and phone and so forth. Councilwoman Webber suggested that we turn this over to the Zoning Board and let them check this out Councilman Dietz stated that we have done this in the past and it would not be fair to this man if we sent his to the Zoning Board, let's grant his and then refer any in the future to the Board. Mayor Armstrong stated that he agrees that we should grant this one, however everyone who is operating a home business should be pulled and referred to the Zoning Board. Councilwoman Webber made that a motion, being seconded by Councilman Cairnie. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. 5-0 Councilman Dietz stated that last we discussed the water trucks. He stated that he spoke with Joe Martine about the International, and Joe said that there is no way of repairing this. He said it will cost $200 to repair the motor in the other truck and to do that they have to make other repairs first. He added that the newest model we have is a 1968 which is almost eight years ago, and we need two new trucks. He suggested that we buy 3/4 ton utility bed trucks with V-8 engines, and 4 speed transmissions. He said that Joe concurs with this type of truck. He said that he has done some shopping around and it will cost us a little less than $5,000. There was discussion as to what account this money will come out of. Councilman Dietz stated that we were advised by our auditors to set up a Capital Improvement Fund for deterioration of this equipment, but we don't have it, so he assumes we will have to take this out of Renewal and Replace- ment and later on replace the money to that account. Mayor Armstrong stated that the proper way to do this is to put a line item in the Water and Sewer account for new equipment. -9- u v Councilman Dietz stated that somehow we will have to work this out because we need the new equipment. Councilman Dietz made a motion that we go out for bids for two new trucks for the Utilities Department, 3/4 ton, V-8 engines and 4-speed transmissions, with utility beds, bids to be back within thirty days, and 1977 models unless we can get 1976 models, minimum horse power at 318 cubic inches, being seconded by Councilman Sikes. Councilman Sikes asked why we don't also ask for 3-speed just to see what the difference in the prices will be. Councilman Dietz stated that the difference will only be about $40, and it will cost more to repair a.3-speed. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. 5-0 Mayor Armstrong stated that he has a request from a gentleman to drive a sound truck in Edgewater. He explained that we do have such a license, but it is only for one day and the fee is $25.00. Councilman Cairnie stated that we have received requests of this type before and we have always turned them down. Councilman Cairnie made a motion that this permit be denied, being seconded by Councilman Sikes. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. 5-0 Councilwoman Webber brought up the subject of the Rescue Squad. She said that there were suggestions made that she had been pressured into this when she brought it up before. She suggested that if enough people in the City of Edgewater wish to have this matter put on a referendum on the November election, she suggests that the Ordinance be put aside but until that time she suggests that we accept the check from Mr. Bevel and get this insured. They have been accepted by the City and they must have insurance. She added that if there is any question about this not being in the budget she has an alternative suggestion; that we accept Mr. Bevel's check and that it be put in the surplus funds for next year, that the City of Edgewater pay it for this year out of the Emergency and Contingency Fund. Councilman Cairnie stated that he thought they were going to pay for their own insurance until the new fiscal year. Councilwoman Webber explained that they tried to but their check was refused. Councilwoman Webber made a motion that if we can possibly accept their check tonight and let the City pay for the insurance in the event that this is not possible, that the check still be accepted by the City Clerk but put in the surplus funds for next year and be paid out of our Emergency and Contingency Fund, being seconded by Councilman Dietz and he stated that he feels that we can do the alternative, however he does not know that we can do the first one. Councilman Sikes asked the attorney if we are liable for this group at this time? Attorney Woods answered yes, you have been liable since the Ordinance was enacted. Mr. Bevel stated that he has the check and he also has the title to the vehicle, which now is part of the City. He also has a letter from Mr. Eason stating the amount of the insurance from this time until the next budget year. Mr. Bevel stated that he is not sure what Mrs Webber is saying about a referendum. Councilwoman Webber explained that now EVER is part of the City, however if enough citizens go to the City Clerk requesting that it be put on a referendum that you not be part of the City than this could be done. -10- , r -, , u v The City Clerk explained that anything to be put on a referendum should be in by October. Mr. Bevel explained the insurance coverage that they wish to have. At this time discussion began about the EVER and the Fire Department and the ways they are to be covered by the City. Mr. Bevel stated that every- time this has been discussed he has explained that EVER just wants to be- come part of the City the same way the Fire Department did. Mayor Armstrong spoke on this also, stating that he feels the people of Edgewater should have the right to decide their own destiny. If it is put on the referendum and passed you will be part of the City and we will be able to make a donation to you as we do the Fire Department. Councilman Dietz stated that they are a part of the City now. Again we are going by the opinions of the Attorney General and our attorney who are knowledgable people who know what they are doing. Why would we argue with them? At this time Councilwoman Webber repeated her motion so that it would be clear. There was more discussion after this. Mayor Armstrong called for roll call. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. 3-2 Councilman Cairnie and Mayor Armstrong voting NO. Councilman Dietz made a motion that the City Clerk investigate with our compensation insurer to the amount that it will cost us per individual in the rescue charge to be covered by compensation and also that our attorney look into this and give us a report by the next meeting as to how we can legally cover these people with compensation insurance, being seconded by Councilwoman Webber. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. 3-0 Councilman Cairnie and Mayor Armstrong voting NO. Councilman Dietz stated that it was brought up before about extending the water lines to the Florida Shores Home Owners Association. The Mayor suggested at that time that we could possibly take this out of the Park and Pier to pay for the pipe, which will cost $158.00. Mayor Armstrong stated that he has done some research on this and we already have water to the City owned property, so there is no reason for the City to spend additional money to the south end of the City property when it is already there. It will be a cost to the consumer to extend the lines. He stated that he wants to go by the Ordinance on this. Councilwoman Webber stated that she does not know anything about this and she would appreciate it if we could give her time to investigate it so that she can make an intelligent vote. There was more discussion about the water line extension. ADJOURN: Councilman Cairnie made a motion to adjourn, being seconded by Councilwoman Webber.
