CITIZEN COMMENTS REGARDING AGENDA ITEMS ONLY David Ridner, 2804 Unity Tree Drive, presented a document to Council pertaining to the sign franchise they are about to engage in. City Manager Grace informed Council when they approved the pilot program, we did not enter into any contract or franchise at this point. We authorized them to put in a pilot project for the City to observe for up to 120 days after which we could decide if we want to enter into a franchise. Councilman Roberts spoke of concern with their being too many vacant signs. Councilwoman Lichter spoke of concern with the price being cost prohibitive. Mayor Allman asked what the handout received from Mr. Ridner pertained to. City Attorney Clayton explained it is a claim of lien that was filed for failure to pay according to a contract. Nancy Ridner has filed a claim of lien for $5,648.00 against Porta USA of Central Florida. She assumed it was given to Council as indication that their experience was the bills were not paid with their contractual arrangements. Mr. Ridner informed her that is correct. City Attorney Clayton passed the information to City Clerk Wadsworth. Jeanne DelNigro, 3130 Tamarind Drive, read a prepared statement regarding the reorganization proposal. She asked the Council to vote no. ..... ....." Ben Vasquez, 2807 Needle Palm Drive, spoke about asking one of the girls in the front of City Hall to put his water bill in his wife's name. She told him the only way she could do that would be if she saw a copy of the will. He doesn't feel this is any of the City's business including the City employees. He would like this to be corrected and his utility bill sent in his wife's name. City Manager Grace stated he would look into this. City Attorney Clayton asked Mr. Vasquez for the name it is to go in and the name the account is in now. City Manager Grace instructed Mr. Vasquez to get with Terry Wadsworth, utilities Director. Andy Anderson, 1730 pine Tree Drive, spoke about the streets being closed off and kids walking through his yard. He asked if it would be possible to put foot walks on Indian River Boulevard and Riverside Drive over the places that have been dug out that have water in them so they could walk around the block. City Manager Grace asked if he was talking about bridges over the retention ponds. Mr. Anderson stated no, bridges over streets that don't have retention ponds that are just closed because the big pipes were taken out and there is water down there now. City Manager Grace asked if he is talking about over the canals. He spoke of the expense to do this. Councilman Roberts feels it would only be feasible if it is a very heavily traveled area with pedestrians. Mr. Anderson stated there aren't many situations in town that have these circumstances. He feels there would only be three or four. city Manager Grace stated that is something they could look at. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS Councilman Gornto spoke about a letter that was received at City Hall from a lady that was concerned that he was proposing they raise the electrical rates by switching back to New Smyrna Beach. He clarified that the FIND project could be a separate and distinct project with regard to power supply. We are not bound to allow FP&L go in there and give commercial power to that project. He spoke about the City of New Smyrna Beach is going to be buying power from Duke Power and that their utility bills are going to drop as much as 35%. Councilman Hammond spoke about trying to get the gymnasium built and the vandalism reports. He expressed concern with what happens with people that are caught vandalizing. Councilman Hammond spoke about looking for a contract for banking and engineering. City Manager Grace informed Council they are working out an RFP on the banking and the copy machines. They are going to try to get those out in the next couple of weeks. The other we are working on to bring back to Council for action, specifically on the aUditing services. Councilman Gornto spoke about other cities that have had problems with vandalism in parks and videotaping the vandals. He asked if Councilman Hammond would be willing to go that far or put undercover agents in the parks for a while. There was a brief discussion regarding juveniles causing the mischief in the parks. Parks & Recreation Director Jack Corder informed Council most of the cases where vandals have been caught in the act, the District Attorney's office adheres to it and they have to pay restitution for the damage that is done. Page -2- Council Regular Meeting April 20, 1998 ....... ...." Councilwoman Lichter spoke about some possible solutions to vandalism. City Attorney Clayton explained she and Mr. Corder had asked if they could help with supplying ordinances from other jurisdictions that have more teeth in the enforcement end of things. They are looking around to see if they can get some good ideas. Councilman Roberts asked why it is taking so long to go through the land acquisition for the Fire Department location on Hibiscus Drive. If the volunteers are having trouble with purchasing the land or deeding over the land, they need to find an alternative solution. City Manager Grace explained they have been negotiating on that. They anticipate having something to bring to Council at the next meeting. He elaborated on problems they have run into. They are looking at buying the land directly from the Association rather than in-kind services. Councilman Roberts asked for an update on the FIND project. City Manager Grace explained they were hoping to have the reimbursement agreement at this meeting. He explained they are very close to having that ready to go. Councilman Roberts asked how long before they anticipate hearing from the federal government. city Manager Grace would ask for a decision from them within the next 45 days or so. Councilman Roberts feels FP & L owes this city after what they have put down on the main street. He feels they owe us some sort of compensation for the City having to deal with the poles. He is glad Councilman Gornto got this started and feels Council should pursue it. Councilwoman Lichter spoke about losing nine parking spaces at the Library when SR 442 is widened. She asked if they are going to make up for those nine spaces when the addition is done. City Manager Grace explained they are in the process of redesigning what they want to do there. They are doing everything they can to get as many spaces as they can out of that site. Councilwoman Lichter spoke about the cost of paving Industrial Road would be $19,000 and Pelican Lane would cost $10,000. She spoke about combining a few streets to decrease the cost. city Manager Grace explained they have $40,000 budgeted for resurfacing. Councilwoman Lichter spoke about meeting with the Beautification Committee regarding the murals. She further spoke about vandalism of these murals and possibly using something to protect these murals. Councilman Roberts asked about an extension drawn up by the City Engineer regarding the parking lot for the Library that was presented to Council around four months ago. The planning for the widening of SR 442 has been going on for a year and a half to two years. Why didn't the city Engineer take that into consideration before this effort and time was wasted. This should have been known before all the effort was put in to design something that is now not going to work. City Manager Grace explained at this point they need to move forward and get something designed and get the parking places replaced. In City Engineer Fegley's defense, the design of what they were going to do and which way they were going to go has only recently been concluded. Page -3- Council Regular Meeting April 20, 1998 '-' -."I Councilwoman Lichter asked if there are any other hidden agendas they don't know about with regard to the widening of SR 442. City Manager Grace stated he can't tell them there won't be because there may be. with a project like this, there are going to be issues that come up. There probably will be additional items. Councilwoman Lichter asked if there is a bike path in the works with that project. City Manager Grace explained there will be sidewalks. Councilman Hammond asked about the thirteen homes being taken from the east side of the tracks but there isn't going to be any retention pond to the west. city Manager Grace informed him there will be one out by the horse farm. Councilman Hammond feels this is a long stretch to pump all that water. Councilwoman Lichter asked if there is any possibility of using vacant lots. City Manager Grace spoke about there being practical restrictions on what they can do. They have agreed to look at it and do whatever they can to avoid impacting any more people than they have to. He thinks it is a foregone conclusion that most of those people are going to be impacted by the project. Mayor Allman had nothing at this time. PUBLIC HEARINGS. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS There were no public hearings, ordinances or resolutions to be discussed at this time. CONSENT AGENDA A. Approve transfer of $2,500 from Special Law Enforcement Trust Fund into the General Fund B. Interest adjustments on Street Projects 1, 2, and 3 C. Affirm appointment of Jim Jollie as member-elected representative on Firefighters Pension Fund Board Councilman Roberts made a motion to approve the Consent Agenda, second by Councilman Hammond. Councilwoman Lichter asked about Item B. accrued interest of the money the people happens if they don't pay. City Manager item. If we wipe out the owed originally, what Grace elaborated on this The motion CARRIED 5-0. OTHER BUSINESS A. Parks and Recreation request to purchase Thor lightning prediction system for $3.950 City Manager Grace stated this money would come from Parks and Recreation Impact Fees. Councilman Gornto asked if this device is movable. Mr. Corder explained it could be moved but the way they are looking at it because of the antenna set up, usually their games are running together so if they have a game at Whistle stop and it is detected they could call the other parks to let them know. They have it set to put in the budget next year an external system that goes with it which is a horn system. Page -4- Council Regular Meeting April 20, 1998 '-" ..., Councilman Roberts asked if there is any kind of maintenance that they would be spending money on down the road on this system. Mr. Corder stated he would like to say this wouldn't need maintenance for ten years but as any piece of equipment goes it could cause to be a failure or not. He explained this system was used at the Atlanta Olympics, ABC Sports, and the PGA and LPGA golf courses. It is a very sophisticated piece of equipment. Right now they pass the word if they hear there is a storm near. Councilwoman Lichter asked if there is money available in the impact fees. Mr. Corder explained they have about a $60,000 balance in impact fees at this time. City Manager Grace explained if this is approved, they would be amending the budget to add this. Mayor Allman asked what they would be getting for the $3,900. Mr. Corder explained they are just getting the one piece of equipment with the antenna. It doesn't include the external horn system at this time. They are looking at budgeting that into next year using impact fees. Mayor Allman asked what the horn system costs. Mr. Corder believes that is also around $3,900. Mayor Allman doesn't believe they should get it without the horn. Councilman Roberts asked if this is just basically an alert system for heavy lightning storms. Mr. Corder explained it measures the atmosphere and when you get to a 30% probability of a lightning strike within that area, that is when the system goes off. Councilman Roberts questioned if this information should also be given to the Police and Fire Departments. Mr. Corder explained it is not set up on a phone line. There is a special antenna set up for it. Councilman Roberts feels if they are going to spend that money to have the technology to have an early warning system, it would be wise for public safety officials to be aware of something coming in. Mr. Corder stated he believes they could set up some type of phone system warning to dial into the police or fire department. Councilwoman Lichter spoke about putting an additional $8,000 in the budget throwing off the budget. City Manager Grace explained he and Mr. Corder spoke and decided until they saw what other expenses might be coming their way through the budget process, they would hold off on the horn piece. If Council feels that is something we need now, the moneys are there. There was a brief discussion regarding the impact fee money being available if something comes up for the new rec building. Councilman Gornto moved to amend the motion to include the horn system, second by Councilwoman Lichter. The motion CARRIED 5-0. B. Professional services agreement for design, permitting and construction phase services associated with Park Master Plan and Gymnasium Complex located off Turgot Avenue City Manager Grace explained they weren't able to get everything nailed down but received a draft late this afternoon. He and City Attorney Clayton spoke and feel there are still a few loose ends that need to be tied up so they aren't asking this be approved this evening. Hopefully they can get that on the next meeting agenda. Mayor Allman asked if this needs to be tabled until the next meeting. It was the consensus of Council to table this item until the next meeting. Page -5- Council Regular Meeting April 20, 1998 ..... ..." C. Wastewater Treatment Plant reclaimed water system improvements proposed change order number 2 utilities Director Terry Wadsworth presented an Wastewater Reclaimed Water Improvement Project. this is $12,953.35, $500 of this to be used for with some of the analyzers. overview of the The cost for training involved Councilman Gornto asked if all of the wastewater is turned into bright water in our system. Mr. Wadsworth explained it is either discharged in the reclaimed water system or we still discharge in the river when the demand on the system isn't sufficient. They are hoping to be able to store water in the lake when there isn't the demand in the system. Councilman Gornto asked if there is a problem with the reclaimed water going into the Indian River. Mr. Wadsworth explained they have an annual daily average limitation which is in excess of 800,000 gallons which is based on 30% of the capacity of the plant overall. Councilman Gornto asked if it could be minimized if they increase the reclaimed water system throughout the City. Mr. Wadsworth explained right now they have about 1,500 active connections in Florida Shores. There is a remaining 4,500 potential hookups out there without expanding the system that they can make. It is basically good economics for them to go ahead and optimize the hookups in that area before they expand the system. There was further discussion regarding discharging reclaimed water into the river. Councilman Gornto asked if other cities discharge into the river also. Mr. Wadsworth explained New Smyrna does but they will minimize it quite a bit when they build their new plant out west of I-95. Councilman Gornto asked people should not swim. about 150 feet out into water. about the signs at the parks that say Mr. Wadsworth explained the outfall is the channel. It is not a dangerous Councilwoman Lichter asked if they ever get water into the medians on u.S. #1, will it be reclaimed water. Mr. Wadsworth explained it is a lot more expensive. They estimated it would cost approximately $20,000 to extend it to the southern most median. The northern most median is not worth estimating at this time because there is nothing close and all of the things in the way to get there. Councilwoman Lichter feels another option could be a truck. Mr. Wadsworth stated they did check with DOT about the possibility of using a well there. Our local district doesn't allow it. Councilman Roberts feels using potable water on a few islands on u.S. #1, even though it is more money per gallon, it's probably a lot cheaper than running reclaimed water out to those particular medians. City Manager Grace explained those are all items that will be coming back to Council in the future as far as how they are going to approach those beautification projects. Councilman Gornto moved for approval, second by Councilman Hammond. The motion CARRIED 5-0. Page -6- Council Regular Meeting April 20, 1998 ....... ....", D. New Smyrna Beach Rotary Club request to hold charitable carnival on u.S. 1 south of Barnett Bank May 6-10, 1998 and waive administrative fees Councilwoman Lichter asked Chief Schumaker if there were any concerns from last year. Chief Schumaker stated last year it went reasonably well. There was discussion regarding there being a cost to the City to provide personnel at the carnival. Bill Jennings, 109 Magnolia Street, New Smyrna Beach, explained a majority of the revenue from the carnival and other projects is to support a scholarship program for the high school students. The last two or three recipients of the scholarship have been Edgewater residents. Mr. Jennings spoke about having the same provider of the carnival this year as they did last year. They are a very good local contractor. Councilman Roberts asked about the dollar figures regarding a deposit for police service overtime. He asked if this is part of the fee they are asking to be waived. City Clerk Wadsworth stated that was a possible fee. Mr. Jennings stated it is somewhat common for a government agency to waive fees on a charitable event. The fees were waived last year. Councilman Roberts spoke about citizens being concerned with the people who are running the carnival. Mr. Jennings explained they are very strict. The personnel are not allowed to go to the shopping center and at night they stay at the owner's house on SR 415. There is no overnight camping. Councilman Gornto moved for approval, second by Councilwoman Lichter. The motion CARRIED 5-0. GENERAL CITIZEN COMMENTS/CORRESPONDENCE Andy Anderson, 1730 pine Tree Drive, spoke about curfews for minors and vandalism that has occurred by his home. Councilman Roberts feels it is probably juveniles causing the mischief. He went on to speak about neighborhood watch programs and parents taking better care of their teenagers. Councilwoman Lichter further spoke about having neighborhood watch in Edgewater Landing. She feels they need to get the youth involved and that there are other options they could look at before resorting to curfews. She feels it is not just the parks being vandalized. She is sure many homeowners are in the same boat. Doris Hill, 112 Lincoln Road, asked if she would be able to get a list of the properties where the interests are being abated. City Manager Grace thinks there is a list of them in the agenda package. He asked her to see him afterwards and he would get it for her. Ben Vasquez feels they are going to have a very serious problem with traffic on Indian River Boulevard by the shopping center and at the Post Office. Mr. Vasquez asked about what happened to the $1,100,000 of surplus they had on the road program. Page -7- Council Regular Meeting April 20, 1998 ...... ...., city Manager Grace explained there wasn't a $1,100,000 left over. There was about $900,000 left over, about $300,000 of that was from the stormwater side which went back into the Stormwater Fund. There is a little less than $600,000 that came out of moneys the General Fund was contributing into the program. He is in the process of laying all of that out clearly for the Council. City Manager Grace explained preliminarily those moneys are part of the $600,000 or part of the moneys that would go toward the recreation center and the fire station that are being planned. Councilman Roberts thinks the people would like to see a close- out statement on the capital improvements program for the paving and stormwater system. Andy Anderson, 1730 pine Tree Drive, went on to speak about vandalism taking place between ten and twelve at night. The kids are out there pretty late. There was a ten-minute recess at this time. OFFICER REPORTS City Clerk Wadsworth had nothing at this time. City Attorney Clayton had nothing at this time. City Manager 1) Reorganization proposal City Manager Grace is requesting Council take four specific actions: 1) renaming the Community Development Department to the Planning and Development Department, 2) authorize leaving the position of Planning and Development Director vacant indefinitely, 3) change the Assistant Finance Director position to Finance Director effective August 1, 1998, and 4) eliminate the Assistant City Manager/Finance Director position and replace it with an Administrative Services Director position effective August 1, 1998. This reorganization proposal will save the City approximately $110,000. He asked for Council's approval of those specific actions. Councilman Roberts stated Lynne Plaskett has been handling Planning and Zoning since the former department head has left. She is doing a pretty good job. He feels she has a lot of good common sense and should be in charge of that department. He feels she deserves to have some sort of recognition that she is in charge of that department now, even if it isn't the same exact description as the prior department head or the same money. Just some sort of recognition and some sort of modest increase in salary for taking the reins of that department. Councilman Roberts went on to speak about the Administrative Assistant. The whole idea of getting rid of the Assistant City Manager position was because it really isn't necessary. He thinks if you are going to eliminate it, you just eliminate it. There is another $64,000 that could be saved. You let department heads coordinate things at staff meetings to centralize purchasing and come up with things that need to be done on a group basis. City Manager Grace is concerned with getting things done. He has outlined a number of things that aren't currently being done and the reason for this is because people are all busy doing the things that are in their job descriptions already. He feels the City is not going to be successful in securing grants if they don't put the efforts and resources to it. Page -8- Council Regular Meeting April 20, 1998 .,., ..., City Manager Grace explained the reason he is suggesting the Director of Community Development position not be filled is because looking at budget preliminarily, it looks to be very tight. That factored heavily into his recommendation to leave that vacant indefinitely. Mayor Allman stated until he gets someone totally objective to look at what our budget is going to be, they were told they were on a bare bones budget when they took office and they found money. He doesn't have complete trust in his Finance Department at this time. until he develops that trust, he doesn't know that our millage rate can't be reduced. He finds it difficult to Obelieve we are going to be bare bones when we were told that last year and we weren't. As far as he is concerned, he is not ready to vote on a reorganizational proposal until it is more in depth. He believes the Finance Department needs to be given a different direction. Maybe some people need to come out of there or be transferred out of there. The Assistant Finance Director becoming Finance Director he doesn't have a problem with. Karen is quite apt and very, very professional. As far as the budget and the money in the City is concerned, he doesn't trust the figures he sees. He would get an independent auditor to go over that and show that to him. City Manager Grace stated he was hired 90 days ago. He took that to mean Council placed certain trust in him to do exactly the things he is doing tonight which is to present his recommendation of what needs to be done. He has put a proposal in front of Council that saves the City $110,000 over what it is today. He feels that is, from a budgetary standpoint, a conservative approach. He can't deal with the personality issues in the past or fix all of those. All he can ask of Council is to put their trust in him, that he knows what he is doing, when he brings a recommendation to Council like this. Councilwoman Lichter informed City Manager Grace he was hired in good faith. He was a selection by a very large selection process. Some how in the end the Council came together and put their trust in him. She has trust in him from what she has seen him do so far. She feels he is straight as an arrow and calling it as it is. She agrees with what he has done with Planning & Zoning and the Finance Department. She went on to speak about putting an emphasis on Economic Development. She feels grants are an important area they have to look into. She would be in favor of his reorganization proposal. City Manager Grace feels if in the future Planning and Development needs a department director, he will be the first one admitting that. He explained this approach was devised because of his concern about the budget and the uncertainties going into it. He feels it is best to hold off now in filling that position. Lynne has been doing a good job and he is comfortable she can handle that part of the organization very well. Councilman Roberts has no problem with splitting Planning and Development and the Building Departments. The Building Official should have to report to the city Manager. He feels Lynne should get some sort of recognition for what she has put into that department in Planning and Zoning and leave a title hanging above her that she can't use or that may never be filled, it seems kind of foolish. He feels she has earned her keep around here. He feels they should eliminate the position and redefine Lynne's authority and duties in Planning and Zoning and let her run that department. Page -9- Council Regular Meeting April 20, 1998 .... ...... Councilman Roberts has no problem with Karen Rickelman in Finance. From what he understands, Karen is very bright when it comes to numbers. She has been handling bookkeeping for 26 years. He is sure she is very good at what she does. He sees no sense in paying for another person in management. He feels the Assistant City Manager's position was just set up to justify giving the Finance Director more money when the McMahon administration was in place. He feels this was somewhat of a farce. City Manager Grace stated this was not a new position, there was already a Finance Director position there. Councilman Roberts feels it just meant spending more money and if you can save over $64,000 by not hiring someone, that is a large savings. Instead of saving $110,000, you will be saving close to $175,000 a year out of the General Budget, which is a considerable savings. If the City grows and there is a demand for having more management personnel down the road, then that may be the time to incorporate that kind of position. He can't see it right now. Councilman Hammond asked how they derived the $64,000 salary for the Administrative Service Director. He feels $64,000 is real good money for this area. city Manager Grace feels you have to consider right now, the City is paying out $96,000. He is asking to take 2/3's of that and take that position and direct them towards something that needs to be done that is not being done. There is no additional position being created. We are essentially taking the Finance Director position and changing it to this and reducing the amount of resources going toward it. He does not have anyone within the organization in mind specifically for that position. We would recruit for that. Councilman Hammond stated right now with Lynne, they are catching up. From what he understands, Mark Karet left a whole lot of stuff hanging out there. City Manager Grace stated she is doing a good job. He is not convinced they need that department director position. Councilman Roberts feels they should eliminate Mr. Karet's old position but establish something that gives Lynne some recognition for what she is doing there. City Manager Grace feels Councilman Roberts is raising a legitimate point. It would be his intention, if Council does what he asks, to go back and look at Lynne's job description and address responsibilities she did not have as a Planner. Councilwoman Lichter spoke about residency requirements in the Charter for department heads. She doesn't believe Mrs. Plaskett lives in Edgewater or has mind to. Councilman Roberts feels that is a minor issue and has nothing to do with dollars and cents. City Manager Grace feels the bottom line is Lynne is doing a good job and under his proposal, he thinks she will continue to do a good job. His intention would be to sit down with Lynne and Debby and look at her job description under the new scenario compared to what it was before. Councilwoman Lichter feels grants have been neglected in this community. She went on to speak about economic development and bringing it in to Edgewater. She thinks you wouldn't be locked into such a position. You reevaluate in a year. There was a brief discussion regarding what duties the Administrative Service Director would entail. Mayor Allman doesn't have a problem with the Administrative Service Director. He has a problem with going about this at this time while they still have management in place that they will be replacing. He feels they are jumping the gun. Page -10- Council Regular Meeting April 20, 1998 '-' ~ City Manager Grace stated his recommendation is to make these positions effective August 1, 1998. Councilman Gornto asked City Manager Grace to elaborate on the issue of grant writings. He wants to know where that expertise comes from. City Manager Grace feels grant writing is lacking. We have gotten grants in the past but we certainly haven't maximized that by having someone who that is a primary focus of what they do. He spoke about grants that are out there that are available. He stated you need to have horsepower that is pushing for the projects and putting the proposals together. Councilman Roberts feels that is what effective department heads are for. Councilman Gornto spoke about the City having one sidewalk, parks with no pavement, a City Hall that should be bulldozed and what he considers a top notch city Manager. He is hoping the undercurrent of what he is hearing is not something that is left over from the previous City Council where there was especially one person who did not run for office that was very much interested in running this City himself. He is for the City Manager form of government. We come here as part-time councilmembers. He doesn't have time to manage the departments. We hired the best we could find and what he has done is present to council something that some of Council doesn't like. He finds nothing at all wrong with it and feels it makes a lot of sense. Councilman Gornto proposes they support the City Manager and what he is doing. A year from now if it doesn't work, we know what can happen. We can change it again. Councilman Gornto made a motion to approve all four items in the reorganization proposal. Councilman Hammond still has a problem with the $64,000 position. Councilwoman Lichter spoke about City Manager Grace eliminating the Finance Director with that kind of salary and putting a few less bucks where he needs help to have this community grow. Councilwoman Lichter seconded the motion. City Manager Grace elaborated on the salary and duties of the Administrative Service Director position. Councilman Roberts feels they should be voted on individually. The motion CARRIED 3-2. Councilman Roberts and Mayor Allman voted NO. City Manager Grace met with a gentleman from the Community Map Company. They are interested in doing an update of the City Map. He suggested they do an update due to it being a community resource they could use. Councilman Gornto asked where the maps go once they are made. City Manager Grace explained they provide the City with several thousand copies the City can do with what they want. Councilwoman Lichter asked if there are supposed to be five or seven members on the citizen Code Enforcement Board. City Attorney Clayton informed her there are seven members. You have a quorum and then you have a board that can be comprised of a certain number. It was the consensus with Council to go ahead with the updated maps from the Community Map Company. Page -11- Council Regular Meeting April 20, 1998 ''-'" .""." ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to discuss, Councilman Gornto made a motion to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m. Minutes submitted by Lisa Kruckmeyer Page -12- Council Regular Meeting April 20, 1998
