APPROVAL OF MINUTES There were no Minutes to be approved at this time. 3. PRESENTATIONS /PROCLAMATIONS /PLAQUES /CERTIFICATES /DONATIONS There were no Presentations at this time. 4. CITIZEN COMMENTS The following citizens spoke: Bill Glaser, 1703 Needle Palm Drive, asked what the Ph rating of Edgewater's potable water was supposed to be. He is measuring 8.4 and it used to be 7.2 or 7.4. He is getting a rash and the dermatologist told him he gets it from water that is that base. Mayor Thomas asked Environmental Services Director Brenda Dewees to find out and let Mr. Glaser know sometime during the meeting. Ms. Dewees agreed to send someone to check it. City Manager Barlow commented on a sample being taken from Mr. Glaser's house and 1 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 analyzed. Councilman Cooper asked what they were running at the Water Plant right now. Ms. Dewees informed him around 7.0. Betty Bowne, 2804 Yule Tree Drive, commented on the use of a City owned field and renovations that were planned for Whistle Stop Park. She thanked the Council and the City for making the decision for the field to stay the way it is. She spoke of forming a Committee to work with the Southeast Volusia Little League and ensure there is maybe more attention paid to the girls' softball program as there is to the boys' program of baseball. In the event the Committee is unable to resolve the matter with the Board itself, she was wondering if the City had an obligation to review the terms of any lease it makes with any special interest group that might violate some of the rights of the rest of the public and to protect the interest of the taxpayers at large. She wanted to know if there was an obligation on the part of the City to make sure there is an equal opportunity afforded to the entire population. City Attorney Ansay stated she was unsure of all the issues. She was handed a copy of a piece of correspondence dated September 27 She agreed to look into the issues and look at the lease and what obligations were placed. This was the first she was hearing of the issue. She agreed to look at the lease and get back to Ms. Bowne. Mayor Thomas informed her they would have to do some legal research and get back to Ms. Bowne. Ms. Bowne then commented on the Cal Ripkin program in New Smyrna merging with Southeast Volusia Little League which meant there would be taxpayers from New Smyrna coming to Edgewater and using our fields and likewise taxpayers from Edgewater that will go up to New Smyrna. She wondered if there was a reciprocity agreement so those fields would be able to be used without any additional charge to the program. Ms. Bowne commented on the parents of the Southeast Volusia Little League girls' softball program that stepped forward last year and asked if they could sand down and repaint bleachers at Whistle Stop Park and they were told they couldn't because if they did the bleachers might be slippery and could open the City up to a liability which was understandable. However, now there is a boys' baseball crew that has gotten together and are in the process of making plans to erect batting cages at Hawks Park. They were wondering what the criteria was and why one group was allowed to do that and they weren't allowed to do something as basic as try to make the fields more presentable. Mayor Thomas informed Ms. Bowne her time was up and that she could wait for another three minutes under Citizen Comments at the end of the meeting. 2 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 Councilwoman Rhodes felt City Manager Barlow needed to make a point to get back with them and address those issues. If they are valid issues, they needed to be looked into. City Manager Barlow stated he had a conversation with Ms. Bowne last week after her first letter. Some of the things she shared tonight were new allegations that he was not aware of, which he agreed to continue to look into it. What he did offer to her was it sounded like there were some concerns within the Board and some relationship situations they probably should engage and help mediate for the betterment of the community and to assure that the programs continue and everybody is treated as a fair and equal opportunities for the use of those fields. Councilman Cooper asked if the Committee that was put together to negotiate the contractual agreement with Southeast Volusia Little League was still intact. He felt the grievance should come before that committee and be thoroughly investigated and then brought back to Council on whether there is something going on there. City Manager Barlow informed him he didn't think staff had the opportunity to go in there. This was all new to them and wasn't brought to their attention until last week. He thought Leisure Services Director Jack Corder had preliminary discussion with Mark Penny, who was head of that Committee. He informed Council Ms. Bowne was on the Board too. He felt confident Staff could help facilitate a resolution. If not, it would come back to Council. Councilman Cooper asked Mr. Corder if he had an immediate answer on the ballpark batting cages. Mr. Corder informed him there were no plans and that it was only discussed. Councilman Cooper confirmed Mr. Corder would not allow the boys to be building the batting cages and they would be built according to safety standards by a licensed, certified individual. 5. APPROVAL OR CHANGES /MODIFICATIONS TO THE AGENDA City Clerk Wenzel stated Earthquake Magoon's had submitted their special activity permit for their annual Biketoberfest oyster roast. Under the previous Code it would have been required to come before City Council. Their advertising requirement was before the second reading so that was advertised to come before Council but since the change was adopted, they don't have to be approved by Council due to being under an attendance of 2000. She also disclosed this would still have to be approved by Staff. 6.

Mayor Thomas had nothing at this time. 7. CONSENT AGENDA A.

The MOTION CARRIED 5 -0. E. Resolution No. 2010 -R -14 - Request to approve the Final Millage Rates for Fiscal Year 2010/2011 City Attorney Ansay read Resolution 2010 -R -14 into the record. Mayor Thomas asked if the roll back rate was 7.7 and they go to 6.59 and the house was not assessed as much as it was last year, don't the taxes go down. Finance Director John McKinney informed him because they are below roll back and as long as the assessed value stayed the same or went down, they would pay less in taxes this year than they did last year. The only way they would get the same amount of taxes next year as they did this year is if they go with the roll back rate. He then commented on the Save Our Homes recapture. The homes that have benefitted from the 3% cap still haven't caught up with the corrected assessed value so they are still seeing the cap of 3% annual increase. That is capped at State Statute at 2.1% so they can only grow by 2.1% due to the recapture. City Manager Barlow further commented on people struggling with the Save Our Homes recapture. Sooner or later it will meet in the middle if they continue with this economy. Mr. McKinney referred to an article in the newspaper talking about market value and assessed value. If they look at the average homesteaded property in Edgewater, they have an assessed value of $51,887. Their total tax bill would be $1,306.60. He reported in August that Edgewater had seen an assessed value decrease of 42% in three years. Mr. McKinney went through the attached Powerpoint Presentation by describing the Revenue Outlook and Budget Challenges with regard to Debt Reduction. He spoke of doing everything they can to maintain the same level of service. They have traded here and there to maintain. He predicted next year would be the toughest year yet as they prepare the budget. He further commented on reducing the total debt service over $20 million since 2005. 6 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 There was a brief discussion regarding how reducing the total debt service helps the citizens of Edgewater and some of the things that were done to reduce the debt. Councilwoman Rogers informed Mr. McKinney what he had done was refinanced because in another three to four years they are going to have debt that is on suspension right now that is going to start hitting them so what he has done is smooth the debt out but he had to because they were in such dire straits so the City could continue to run as it has run without cutting services or laying off people. They may have a crunch next year because of property tax values. This thing of reducing the City's debt by $20 million she felt was a misrepresentation because it had only been smoothed out. Mr. McKinney informed her they had definitely paid the debt. They have reduced the debt load $20 million in five years. He commented on extending the debt service on the Water /Sewer side by five years. He then commented on having the money to pay off FIND. He has it set aside in its own unreserved pot of money that acts as their cash flow. He spoke of not incurring any new debt as a result of the refinancing. Because of the new SBA rates, they were able to have an interest savings. Even though they paid a $31,000 in additional interest over five years that savings far outweighed the cost of increasing one time the ad valorem rate. They were able to keep the ad valorem rates and utility rates low across the board. Councilwoman Rhodes commented on actually paying $20 million off of the debt the City owed. Mr. McKinney informed her they had not incurred any new debt to pay the $20 million off. City Manager Barlow spoke of reducing the debt and refinancing which reduced the annual debt service and extended some of that to smaller payments over a longer period of time at the same time to be able to capture some lower interest rates. Mr. McKinney then commented on setting aside $500,000 annually on the Water /Sewer side to make sure that when the debt services comes due in four years, they have been able to smooth out those increases. Mr. McKinney continued his presentation by describing the General Fund Budget Challenges with regard to road resurfacing. He then described the Enterprise Funds with regard to Rate Increases. There has been no increase in two years in Refuse and Stormwater. He then described due to the aging infrastructure and necessary improvements that needed to be done to the Water and Sewer system plus the oncoming debt service that will be here in four years that overall they are looking at a 31% increase in order to fund all the necessary improvements and debt service. He spoke of smoothing out the 30% increase over five years at 6% per year by the annual increase on the water and sewer fees. 7 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 Councilwoman Rhodes commented on the 6% per year and asked if it would be 6% of what it is now or 6% of what it is going to be. Mr. McKinney informed her it was every year compounding on itself. Councilwoman Rhodes pointed out if they add 6% to a dollar this year and 6% to a $1.06 next year and so on and so forth they would wind up with more than 30 %. Councilman Cooper pointed out Mr. McKinney had said he may not have to do 6% on the fifth year. Councilwoman Rhodes doesn't want to see over the next five years the bill raise more than 30% than what it is today. City Manager Barlow commented on trying to plan further into the future. He spoke of adjusting the rates every year through the fee resolution. They will have the opportunity every year to reduce the 6% or increase the 6% based on the Consumer Price Index. They are not locked into future years at 6% but for planning purposes for Staff they needed some kind of direction. He further described reacting and planning for tomorrow verses reacting to yesterday. That methodology has proved to bring savings to Edgewater. Mayor Thomas asked for public comment. The following citizens spoke: Dominic Capria, 606 Topside Circle, stated he felt the Finance Director did a great job. He felt the questions asked by the Mayor should have been asked before he voted the last time. Carol Ann Stoughton, 2740 Evergreen Drive, asked what the current debt of the City was. She felt it was a shame that Edgewater was the highest comparing it to the millage rate of Volusia County and New Smyrna Beach. She thinks there needs to be a change. There are policemen in this town who don't compare in salaries to the firemen. The firemen run this City. She felt the pensions being paid to employees who are retired and still working needed to be addressed. She commented on the difference in salaries paid to a fireman compared to a policeman. She felt the garbagemen were doing a fantastic job but that certain people weren't doing their job. She didn't think the Mayor had done his job over the last four years and she hoped he wouldn't get re- elected. They need someone to look into the finances who isn't one of the good old boys in this City. Mr. McKinney informed her the total debt service as of September 30, 2010 was $32,173,805, which they had reduced $20 million in six years. In 2011 they are reducing the principle portion by $3,166,767. Of that amount $921,000 is interest for both General Fund and Enterprise Fund. Bill Glaser, 1703 Needle Palm Drive, stated since the City blames Mr. Gilreath for his 10% tax increase and the Chairman of the county Council also blamed him for his taxes being increased by the County, 8 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 he was curious how Mr. Gilreath arrived at raising his taxes 10% so he e- mailed him and asked how they get the assessed value from the market value or the just value. He further commented on Mr. Gilreath's response, which he felt got complicated very quickly. He thought what he was telling him was the computer did it. Mike Visconti, 316 Pine Breeze Drive, stated his house three or four years ago was worth more money then and he was paying less taxes. His house is worth less money and he is paying more taxes. How did this happen? City Manager Barlow explained for Mr. Visconti how the recapture has affected his taxes. Mr. Visconti then commented on cutting services. He suggested they could cut the garbage pickup. This is the only city that has two pickups a week. Other cities have one pickup a week. He felt half of the population in Edgewater was senior citizens, who he felt don't accumulate a lot of garbage. He asked how the other cities only pickup once a week. He asked the Council to think about it. Agnes Whitter, 223 Flagler Avenue, asked what the payoff dates on the bond issues from 2002 and 2009 were. Mr. McKinney informed her the 2002 Bank of America would be paid off September 30, 2012. The 2009 bond was a seven year arm. Six years from today it would be called. It was either a $3 million or $4 million call. Don Garner, 2703 Tamarind Drive, stated he knew everyone was trying to do the best job they could possibly do in not raising their taxes. But for the last three years, going on four, he has seen nothing but tax increases. He thought he was moving to a really good place but the City is really changing his mind. He sees who runs this City. He knows in his mind who runs this City. He asked if it was possible for the Council to put a clause in the union contracts or any contracts that when the cost of living and the economy get so bad they get no pay raises. He lives on social security and asked when his last pay raise was. He felt they needed to hold the line. Councilwoman Bennington informed Mr. Garner the City employees had not received a pay raise in three years. Councilwoman Rogers stated in a sense they have because of the stipend so he is accurate and correct, it's just worded differently. Mr. Garner told the Council not to gloss coat this. The facts are there. People don't want to come in here because they know they are talking to the wall. He urged the Council to do something to hold the tax rate. Jean Vogel, Swordfish Lane, Ranken Drive Homeowners, asked the Council to go to the 6.36 millage rate rather than 6.591. They are justifying it by saying it's to pave ten streets in Edgewater. Every time she goes to the gas pumps she pays an additional 6 cents gas tax that the County Council passed in order to give to the cities to pave roads. She didn't know what has happened with the 6 cents. Councilwoman Rhodes explained the City doesn't get 6 cents. Ms. Vogel stated she 9 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 was under the impression the City gets a portion of the gas tax. She felt what the Council was hearing from the citizens of Edgewater was that they are tired of the increases in taxes. She then commented on business going to New Smyrna because they have a lower millage rate. She felt the City was out of line. These are tough times and the people are asking them to help them lower the taxes. She asked Council to in good faith consider going to the lower rate rather than the 6.591. She felt it would show they are hearing the citizens and that they care about them. She disclosed her taxes in Edgewater were $3,000 a year and her total taxes were over $18,000 a year. She respectfully requested they consider the lower rate. Cynthia Degrammont, 213 Ranken Drive, stated they have seven homes for sale, two are going into foreclosure in their neighborhood. They have 28 homes in their neighborhood. They aren't able to sell their homes so they are going into foreclosures. She spoke of the banks not helping them. They are the percentage of the money that is coming into Edgewater but it won't be coming. They have two more people who are going to put their house up for sale. It is taxes. They can pay their houses off but they can't pay the taxes anymore. It's got to give somewhere. She didn't know if they could make an exception for the east side of U.S. #1 or certain areas. If they can go on the west side of U.S. #1 and their taxes can go down between $200 and $800, something's wrong. She spoke of wanting a streetlight. They don't have police protection. For the money they are paying, they aren't getting any special privilege. They take care of everything themselves. She feels they should be getting something for their taxes. She commented on taxes in her neighborhood ranging anywhere from $4,800 to $32,000. A lot of people have been working overtime to pay those bills. Councilman Cooper commented on some of the concerns identified and offered some explanation of what Edgewater was really up against with regard to refinancing to stop the operating costs from going through the roof. He then commented on being compared to New Smyrna all of the time because of the population being so close. New Smyrna Beach has over a $3 billion tax base. Edgewater's is down to $685,000,000. He then spoke of New Smyrna Beach not having their utilities included in the 3.35 rate that has been seen in the newspaper. They can't compare apples to oranges. He then commented on putting off the road resurfacing for five plus years. The last expert told them if they didn't do the roads now, they would be completely rebuilding roads. They have to spend money sometimes because if they don't it could cost them twice as much the following year. He then commented on the pensions and employees paying into their pension. He wasn't going to take their pension away from them and would do everything he could to support it and maybe get them pay a little higher contribution. He informed the public corrections were currently being made to the pensions. The rate they are at today is % higher than last year. He spoke of the reduction in revenue the City has received from one year 10 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 to the next. He briefly commented on the efforts being made to reduce the budget. He feels the budget is high because they are forecasting high. At six months, he's got their promise if the forecasts are too high and they look like they are coming in under it, he can't reduce their taxes but they will see a major reduction in the next year. He then commented on concerns regarding the difference in pay between the policemen and the firemen. They are doing the best they can. He asked the citizens to understand that the %% as much as he didn't want it he couldn't find a way pull it down. Councilwoman Rhodes commented on the City employees not receiving a raise in three years. This year they gave each employee a $500 stipend. She didn't believe the firemen had a union. City Manager Barlow informed her they didn't have a contract. Councilwoman Rhodes pointed out the police do have a union. She spoke of raising the rate for entry level police officers being included in this budget because they realize they are under the norm and can't attract good talent and keep it. She had a problem with the people that say they don't hear them. She lives in Edgewater and pays taxes. She can't afford it. She is out of a job in a couple of months. She thinks everybody on Council does the very best they can to keep the taxes as low as they can. Nobody on Council wants to pay any more than they have to. She encouraged anyone that may have an idea of how to lower taxes without cutting services and spoke of being one of the few cities that have been able to keep their current level of service. Other cities have laid people off and cut services. She then agreed with Councilman Cooper's comments regarding New Smyrna and pointed out New Smyrna has five square miles more than Edgewater and probably has three times the amount of staff. In Edgewater, they get value. She feels their biggest assets are the employees. Until she leaves office, she is going to do the best very she can by them. She then commented on the firemen not having a union at the present time. They have been trying to get a union for two years and it still hasn't happened. She is going to deal with reality. She thinks she will fight to the very end to keep their employees. They are losing policemen because they are gong other places because they don't pay enough. They are trying to rectify that. They can't expect a level of service for no money. She then commented on doing the roads now for less or doing them later for a lot more. She has lived in Edgewater for 30 years and has the 3% cap from Save Our Homes and her taxes are going up every year. Everyone on the Council has the same problem the citizens have. They hear the citizens and if they could do it lower, they would do it lower. Councilwoman Rogers stated she likes the employees and they do a good job but she was not voted by the employees to this position. She was voted by the people and their job is for the betterment of everyone, not for the 189 employees of the City. She spoke of initially when the millage rate was set at 7% she asked that it be set at 6 %. They are the Council and are supposed to direct the staff, not staff 11 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 directing them. She then commented on reality and perception with regard to the Fire Department and unions. She spoke of people's perception being that the Fire Department runs the City. They have a strong Fire Department which she applauded them for. She wasn't doubting the management or knocking it. The City of Edgewater can't afford it. The City of Edgewater can't afford a lot of things but unfortunately the City of Edgewater doesn't like to cut. The other cities around them have as well as Volusia County. All they talk about is quality of service. At the last Council meeting, they had more people than they did during any of the budget workshops. There are more people here tonight than they did at the last Council meeting. This is the final night and they are studying the millage. She made mention of the millage starting at 7 and going down to 6.36. She then commented on the presentation regarding the City's roads, which meant they would have to go up again to 6.59. The night they set the millage at 7 and it was known that most likely they were going to come down anyways. When they set the millage at 7 don't you think that staff already knew the roads needed to be done and that figures were already being ran and put together but then they set it at 7, went down to 6.36, went up to 6.59 and Council did not direct the staff to say they wanted the millage to come in here. She spoke of social security being fixed and not increasing in the last two years. She heard someone make mention that 50% of Edgewater's population are social security recipients or the senior citizens. They have a good majority of senior citizens in this City who have fixed incomes and no pensions. She stated this is not entirely the City of Edgewater's fault. They are only one piece of the TRIM notice. It is about time that cities get together and start going to the State of Florida and fighting on the Save Our Homes because that is what is killing them. She then commented on her taxes going up. When she is 60 or 65 she won't be able to afford to live here. Why stay here and make relationships and work on something when it's not going to be affordable. Unfortunately that is the reality of why they don't have business in Edgewater. She applauded the Economic Development Board for their efforts. She spoke of people looking at what Edgewater's tax millage is. It is unfortunate that they have to have this kind of a meeting but it is sadder that nobody was there during their budget workshops. She then commented on the two Town Hall meetings she had. She then spoke of New Smyrna Beach having a Budget Committee and the people attending their meetings. She was going to vote no on the millage tonight because it's still not as good as she thinks it should be. She then commented on never going to a zero based budget. Councilwoman Bennington agreed with Councilman Cooper and Councilwoman Rhodes 100 %. She also agreed a little bit with Councilwoman Rogers. They aren't elected to keep the employees happy. They are elected to represent the people. She made mention of most of the employees living in the City. If they lay off employees, they are laying off people in the City that pay taxes that have a job that contribute to the community. She has tossed around in her head over and over again 12 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 who she owes her loyalty to. Do you keep your employees? Do you give your employees a raise when they haven't had a raise when they deserve a raise when they have been working for two years going on three without anything? She then mentioned them having a job which is something that a lot of people don't have right now. So who do you owe your loyalty to, more to the people or more to the employees? Her answer is they owe it to both because the employees are people in the community too. They are elected to represent the people and that is what they are trying to do. Councilwoman Bennington then commented on the road resurfacing being totally her suggestion. It wasn't staff's idea. They told them they couldn't afford it and she said they needed to do it at $12 per year average per house. Councilwoman Rogers had it wrong and it was her suggestion and the Council agreed with her to have them go back and figure out what it would cost in the millage. Councilwoman Bennington stated she has lived in Edgewater for 35 years and plans to die in the house she lives in right now. Her taxes over the years have been all over the place. She commented on the service and personnel that work for this City and provide public safety are the best they could ever ask for. It is rough for everyone. She spoke of her husband working at the Cape and not knowing from day to day whether or not he is going to have a job but he's there and he's doing his job. If the people think they don't care, they are absolutely wrong. They do listen and they really do care. If they didn't care they wouldn't be sitting on Council. It's not for her self interest or anybody else's self interest that they make these decisions. It is what they see in the best of the City in the future of what they want for the City. Mayor Thomas stated he hated taxes and wished there wasn't any. Unfortunately to live the life they live, to be able to drive on paved roads, to be able to flush your toilet, to be able to drink the water and have garbage twice a week. Out of the 16 cities, they are the only full service City in Volusia County and the only City that has an animal shelter, which the voters voted in in 2004. He then spoke of the citizens voting not to have condos. We have a little commercial and a little bit more business. They are trying to shift the tax burden from the resident and invite more commercial and business into Edgewater. It is what you want out of your qluality of life. He likes living in a City that doesn't have condominiums. He commented on Daytona Beach Shores being the richest City in Volusia County. He spoke of not being able to compare Edgewater to New Smyrna Beach because of the beachfront property, the condominiums and the commercial and industrial buildings they have. He doesn't mind paying a little more to have his quality of life. We are a bedroom community and the citizens are the tax burden. He appreciated everyone that came to the meeting. He saw a lot of new faces and asked where they were during the August budget workshops. They can't show up at the 13 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 last minute and should have been there in August when they did the workshops to tell them what service they wanted to cut. Councilwoman Rogers wanted to clarify Councilwoman Bennington's comments that she was wrong. She stated when the millage was set at 7 they were not talking about roads at that time. The roads came up after the millage came down to 6.36. Then there was a road presentation and then the millage went back up. She felt the presentation should have been done when they set the millage at 7 or sooner or better yet it was known that they were doing some kind of a study and that was going to come about. That comes into play and does affect their millage. That was her point. Mayor Thomas entertained a motion. City Attorney Ansay reminded Mayor Thomas that Mr. McKinney had to describe the tentative millage for Operating and Voted Debt Service as required by Florida Statute. Mr. McKinney identified for the record the name of the Taxing Authority being the City of Edgewater. The roll back rate was 7.7048 per $1,000. The percentage decrease over roll back was - 17.45 %. The millage rate to be levied was 6.591. He asked Council for a motion on the General Fund ad valorem tax rate of 6.591. Councilwoman Bennington moved to adopt Resolution 2010 -R -14. City Attorney Ansay pointed out the Resolution addressed both rates. She suggested they do separate votes on the General and then they would go to the debt service millage. Councilwoman Bennington moved to adopt Resolution 2010 -R -14 with a General Fund millage of 6.591, second by Councilwoman Rhodes. The MOTION CARRIED 4 -1. Councilwoman Rogers voted NO. Mr. McKinney identified for the record the name of the Taxing Authority being the City of Edgewater. Roll back was non - applicable. Percent decrease over roll back was non - applicable. The millage rate to be levied was .0475 to pay in its entirety the debt service for 2011 on the Animal Shelter. Councilwoman Bennington moved to adopt Resolution 2010 -R -14 approving the debt service rate of .0475, second by Councilwoman Rhodes. The MOTION CARRIED 4 -1. Councilwoman Rogers voted NO. Mayor Thomas called a recess at this time. The meeting recessed at 7:36 p.m. and reconvened at 7:50 p.m. 14 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 F. Resolution No. 2010 -R -15 - Request to approve the Final Budget for Fiscal Year 2010/2011 City Attorney Ansay read Resolution 2010 -R -15 into the record. Mr. McKinney made a staff presentation. The total budget he was asking Council to approve was $39,253,527. Mayor Thomas asked for Council comment, which there wasn't any. Mayor Thomas then asked for public comment. The following citizens spoke: Gene Tasha, 1408 Travelers Palm Drive, stated $39 million in debt for a City is unacceptable. He felt there had to be cuts somewhere. He was okay with once a week garbage pickup. He then commented on the Fire, Police and teacher's union. He votes for changing the pensions to 401K's. He suggested they bring this up in the future so when the teacher's union says they needed their pensions that they were willing to give you 401K's and we'll match you dollar for dollar up to $10,000 or something like that. They can't keep paying into pension funds and shelling out the money when they don't have it. He suggested a finance committee get together and come up with suggestions and that they invest in the future. He spoke of the debt that California is in because of the teacher's union and the pensions they pay the teachers and City workers. Mayor Thomas confirmed that Mr. Tasha was allowed to come to the Pension meetings. City Manager Barlow informed him those meetings were open to the public. Mayor Thomas asked if he could apply to serve on the board. City Manager Barlow informed him he could and he encouraged all of the residents to be active and involved and apply to serve on the City Boards. He also commented on the General Employees Pension converting several years ago to the 401K verses the Defined Benefit Plan. Carol Ann Stoughton, 2740 Evergreen Drive, asked what happened to the moneys that were allocated for the shelter and the shuffleboard courts. They have a lot of things that people have not checked into. She stated there was a fire union because they tried to keep her out from being elected. Mayor Thomas entertained a motion. Councilwoman Rhodes moved to approve Resolution 2010 -R -15, second by Councilman Cooper. The MOTION CARRIED 4 -1. Councilwoman Rogers voted NO. 15 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 G. Resolution No. 2010 -R -16 - Modifying administrative fees to the Schedule of Costs /Fees relating to the City of Edgewater Code of Ordinances, which includes Chapter 19 (Utilities) and other administrative fees and costs City Attorney Ansay read Resolution 2010 -R -16 into the record. City Manager Barlow made a staff presentation. He referred to Page 10 and informed Council City Attorney Ansay had brought something to his attention regarding Chapter 10. They have a clause in there under where it says "Cap for Civil Fines - A fine shall not accrue in the amount of over $5,000. Once a fine reaches the amount of the cap, the City will take the following actions" and it listed the actions. City Attorney Ansay commented on this issue coming up recently when they were dealing with some lien issues. She commented on reasons why the Cap for Civil Fines is unusual, one being the $5,000 cap on liens, which she has never seen before. She commented on another issue associated with it was she didn't like the way it read right now in that it provides that once the amount reaches the $5,000 then the City is put in a position where it can place a lien on the property. She felt the intent was they have certain actions they can take once it reaches $5,000 to get essentially restitution but it somewhat conflicts with Chapter 162 and their own Land Development Code provisions that deal with placing liens. She felt it was open to a lot of argument and opens the City up to a lot of exposure. She recommended they strike the language. The Code Board has the power to waive and reduce the amount once the property is brought into compliance. She suggested they delete the paragraph that says "Cap for Civil Fines ". City Attorney Ansay suggested if the Council was inclined to approve the resolution that they approve it on the condition that the paragraph "Cap for Civil Fines" be removed. City Manager Barlow continued his presentation by identifying on Page 21, Article X which established the fees for the boat slip allocation. He then brought Council's attention to Page 30, Personnel and Miscellaneous Fees. He then identified the Vehicle Impoundment Fee under Police Department on Page 31. Councilwoman Bennington referred to Page 10 - Animal Control and asked about the emergency callout fee of $31.60 per hour and who pays it. She presented a scenario of if a dog gets hit after hours. City Manager Barlow informed her the City was paying it through the budget but it gives them an opportunity to recoup those fees. He also informed her that was more for an investigation for a dog bite or whatever. He further explained the $31.60 is what it costs the taxpayers to send the individual out. 16 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 Councilwoman Bennington expressed concern with it referencing an emergency call out but it doesn't declare what an emergency is and having the ability to back bill someone. Councilman Cooper stated purposely it doesn't say specifics so it can be assessed as needed. Councilwoman Bennington questioned how they determine. City Manager Barlow commented on criteria that dispatch had regarding when they can be called out. He further explained every situation was different. Councilwoman Rhodes pointed out they have a leash law. If a dog is hit that dog is not on a leash. She felt the owner should be responsible for the dog. Mayor Thomas asked how they would prove who the owner is. Councilwoman Rhodes stated if it was tagged or chipped then they could recoup. If it's not tagged or it is a stray, then they can't recoup. This gives the opportunity to recoup whenever possible. Councilwoman Bennington asked about the boarding charges. She didn't know they did boarding. City Manager Barlow informed her anything was possible in the future. He spoke of being able to charge those if they have to quarantine an animal and gives them the opportunity to recoup the cost. Councilman Cooper commented on it not stating anywhere what normal business hours are. He asked what the hours were that the City were covering and what latitudes are given to the citizens. City Manager Barlow identified it depended on which department they were talking about. Councilman Cooper felt the citizens shouldn't be subject to their shifts. He felt the City should be responsible for a certain time frame that works within the citizenry because they are paying for it anyway. City Manager Barlow further explained they aren't making money on these and they are direct reimbursement. Councilman Cooper felt they needed to have a set time period of twelve hours. Councilwoman Bennington commented on Code Enforcement being a thorn in her side. They work 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. five days a week and they have people that know they won't have a Code Enforcement Officer out there on the weekends and at night. There was further discussion regarding normal business hours. City Manager Barlow pointed out what they were discussing had been in the resolution for quite some time and had not been an issue yet. He also explained they had recouped some of the costs. Councilman Cooper felt the Department Heads had been lenient with the citizens and he wanted that to continue. 17 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 Councilwoman Bennington made a suggestion that no animal leave the shelter without being chipped. She commented on the cost that someone would incur between getting an animal chipped and spayed /neutered. She didn't think someone would take an animal for $90. Due to there being no public comment, Mayor Thomas entertained a motion. Councilwoman Bennington made a motion to approve Resolution 2010 -R -16 removing the "Cap for Civil Fines" section, second by Councilwoman Rhodes. The MOTION CARRIED 5 -0. 9. BOARD APPOINTMENTS A. Economic Development Board - Mayor Thomas' appointment due to the expired term of Robert Lott, who seeks reappointment Mayor Thomas nominated Robert Lott. Councilwoman Rhodes moved to approve Mayor Thomas' nomination to reappoint Robert Lott to the Economic Development Board, second by Councilwoman Bennington. The MOTION CARRIED 5 -0. 10. OTHER BUSINESS A. Authorization to extend the Increase Reclaim Customer Initiative as set forth in Resolution 2009 -R -24 City Manager Barlow made a staff presentation. Mayor Thomas stated they are allowed to dump 833,000 gallons a day into the Indian River. This goes with his goals to reduce it to zero. He was very happy about this. Councilman Cooper stated when he asked to have this put in three years ago they would done a lot better. He spoke of this still benefitting the City and it being revenue generating. He felt this was a good thing. Mayor Thomas asked for public comment. The following citizen spoke: Gene Tasha, 1408 Travelers Palm Drive, commented on water being the most valuable resource on earth next to oil. He felt reclaimed water would be an asset to the community to not dump it back into the river. 18 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 Why use fresh water when you can use reclaimed water. If the City can make a buck off selling used water to the citizens, promote it by all means. Mayor Thomas entertained a motion. Councilman Cooper made a motion to authorize an extension to the Increase Reclaim Initiative for one year to terminate on September 30, 2011, second by Councilwoman Rogers. The MOTION CARRIED 5 -0. B. Authorization to extend the reduction of fees for Annexation of Non - residential property and other related fees City Manager Barlow made a staff presentation. Councilman Cooper stated this was set up so they could reduce the fees to bring people in on a labor generated basis. City Manager Barlow informed him that was not for the annexation. It was based on one year of their projected ad valorem taxes at the current millage rate. This allows staff to make the reductions. Councilwoman Rhodes stated this is one of the things they are doing to try to bring business into the City. Due to there being no public comment, Mayor Thomas entertained a motion. Councilwoman Rhodes moved to approve Resolution 2010 -R -12, second by Councilman Cooper. The MOTION CARRIED 4 -1. Councilwoman Rogers voted NO. C. Approval of the State Revolving Fund Loan Agreements for the Southeast Water Storage and Pump Station and four New Water Supply Wells in an amount not to exceed $449,749 and authorization for the City Manager to execute the Agreements City Manager Barlow made a staff presentation. Councilman Cooper confirmed this was a budgeted item. City Manager Barlow informed him it was. Mayor Thomas asked for public comment. The following citizen spoke: Carol Ann Stoughton, 2740 Evergreen Drive, wanted to know if any of the water money for the wells was for the Restoration project. City 19 Council Regular Meeting September 27, 2010 Manager Barlow informed her it was for the Water Supply Plan for our consumptive use permit. Ms. Stoughton wanted to know how much money had been spent for infrastructure as far as developers who agreed to develop and they still haven't come to town. Mayor Thomas entertained a motion. Councilman Cooper made a motion to authorize the City Manager to execute the Loan Agreements for the Water Supply Wells and the Southeast Water Storage and Pump Station, second by Councilwoman Rhodes. The MOTION CARRIED 5 -0. D. Authorization for the City Manager to execute the insurance binder for Health /Dental /Life and LTD for the fiscal year 2010/2011 in the amount of $2,085,103 City Manager Barlow made a staff presentation. Councilman Cooper asked about the new healthcare going up again. City Manager Barlow informed him a lot of it was based on our claims history. He wants to look at some different programs they could consider to try to make a healthier workforce, which would bring down their claims history and their premiums. Due to there being no public comment, Mayor Thomas entertained a motion. Councilwoman Bennington moved to approve the authorization for the City Manager to execute the insurance binder for Health /Dental /Life and LTD for fiscal year 2010/2011, second by Councilwoman Rhodes. The MOTION CARRIED 5 -0. 11. OFFICER REPORTS A.

B. City Attorney City Attorney Ansay had nothing at this time. C. City Manager City Manager Barlow presented Council with the Event Action Plan for JamFest 2010 and asked Fire Chief Steve Cousins to come up and provide a brief overview of the event, which he did at this time. Councilwoman Bennington stated she heard that they weren't going to have the additional parking because the gentleman wouldn't move his cows. Fire Chief Cousins informed her it was still under negotiation. Councilwoman Bennington expressed her concern with the parking. Fire Chief Cousins commented on the specifics that went into the parking. City Manager Barlow elaborated on the mandated training that City staff has gone through over the years with regard to the National Incident Management System. City Manager Barlow further commented on different training events the City has hosted. Councilwoman Bennington commented on how smooth the event went last year. Councilman Cooper commented on how well everyone involved has worked together. He asked if they went over terrorist type things such as bomb plans. Fire Chief Cousins commented on the training not differing much more if it happened here or happened out there.

CITIZEN COMMENTS The following citizen spoke: Dominic Capria, 606 Topside Circle, stated they mentioned there were no increases for the last two years. Not true. There were some increases to the tune of up to $25,000. Mr. Capria stated the firemen were doing a great job and he wasn't against the firemen. He commented on a fireman that makes $20 an hour for a 40 hour week, he would get $41,600. With overtime, it becomes $55,000 or $60,000 a year. Mr. Capria wanted to see people put in applications for the Charter Review Committee. He mentioned people that are on it that have been on it since day one and he felt there should be a time when they have to reapply due to other people wanting to be on it such as himself. Councilwoman Rhodes informed Mr. Capria the Charter Review Committee was every five years and Council picks. She told him to speak with his Councilperson. Mr. Capria pointed out they don't know if there is an opening. He didn't know at the time it came up. When he asked to be on it he had already made up his mind for somebody else. Councilwoman Rhodes informed him it comes up every five years and it is on the agenda when they pick the members. Four years from now there would be another Charter Review committee. Mr. Capria asked why it can't be on a regular basis and only comes up every five years. Councilwoman Rhodes informed him it was in the Charter that it is every five years. 13.
