APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A. Regular meeting of July 7, 1997
Councilman Hays made a motion to approve the July 7, 1997
minutes, second by Councilwoman Martin. The motion CARRIED 5-0.
CITIZEN COMMENTS REGARDING AGENDA ITEMS ONLY
(other than public hearings)
Dominic Capria, 606 Topside Circle, questioned if there will be
citizen comments before Council votes on Phase I and Phase II of
the streets in Edgewater Landing.
City Attorney Storey commented on action being tabled on one of
the potential bonds for Edgewater Landing. By the closing of the
agenda, the city Engineer was not able to release that bond
however, if council would authorize that he would bring it back
up tonight for release of the bond.
Mayor Hayman asked if they are prepared to go ahead and reach a
conclusion on that. City Attorney Storey was prepared to go
through the presentation for Edgewater Landing.
It was the consensus of Council that this item would be
addressed. Mayor Hayman informed Mr. capria he could comment at
this time.
....
.."",
Mr. Capria stated when the roads in Edgewater were repaved, there
were two bonds, a maintenance bond on Phase III and a bond on
Phase I. There was no bond on Phase II. The roads have been
paved. He believes Halifax Paving is a reputable company but he
feels some of the paving that was done was not done properly and
that there were twelve items submitted by the City Engineer who
has done a good job also. He feels these twelve items were not
corrected as was requested by the City. We are responsible for
those roads from the point of transition or from the point of
resurfacing for one year. If something happens to those roads,
then they have to pay for them. He feels all of the corrections
need to be made and if they are not and something happens after
one year, that means the taxpayers of Edgewater will be
responsible to repair the roads.
Mr. Capria feels Council should take a look at the twelve items
before they vote so they can vote intelligently.
Joe Langford, 127 E Connecticut Ave, asked if Item 8C will be
discussed later. Mayor Hayman informed him he should comment
now.
Mr. Langford stated he has been a fifteen year resident of
Edgewater. He commented on the increase of business and traffic
in that area. He feels the City is concerned with some of the
precedents that may be set in starting a concession type business
on that piece of beach.
Mr. Langford questioned a mobile business as opposed to a
permanent structure. He spoke about overnight and weekend
parking and activities. He spoke about liability being an issue.
He spoke about this being a limited no wake zone and with
increased activity in that already congested part of the river.
He also spoke about the restrictions against alcohol on that
beach with overnight camping activities considered.
Mr. Langford hopes there is a future time to discuss these
questions and the possible liability ramifications.
Mayor Hayman itemized Mr. Langford's concerns.
Bob Cornelius, 300 S. Riverside Drive, stated if that is a
business going in it has to be rezoned. He feels because the
water is not safe that is why people are not allowed to swim
there anymore. He doesn't see how you can do anything in the
water if you aren't going to get in the water. He feels the City
shouldn't let a business come into the park when it ultimately
says it is not safe to swim there. He commented on the noise
generated by children out at 2 and 3 in the morning.
Glenn Barnhill, 602 S. Riverside Drive, spoke about there being
19 boat trailers in Menard Park on Sunday. He referred to
Ordinance 89-0-24 which says there can't be any privateering in
the park. He feels it would be dangerous to allow this. He
feels there should be a comprehensive plan for the riverfront
before they entertain any idea of doing anything else.
Ferd Heeb, 115 N. Riverside Drive, spoke about Riverside Drive
being a residential area and all of the parks on Riverside Drive
serve residential people. There is no reason to have a
commercial enterprise at these parks. He expressed opposition to
this.

"'WI'
Councilman Hatfield had nothing at this time.
Councilwoman Martin had nothing at this time.
Councilman Hays spoke about an article in the News Journal on
July 12th pertaining to sexual predators in our communities. He
feels it is important as a community to identify these people.
He asked City Attorney storey to track these and make them part
of the newsletter that goes out to the community.
City Attorney storey stated she has been working with Detective
Diana Floyd and they are aware of this individual in the City.
They will be attending a seminar. This particular individual
does not fall squarely into the category. There have been some
legal questions as to the publication of this individual's
presence. They will have better information after the seminar on
Wednesday.
Mayor Hayman feels the city has no room for sexual predators. He
feels the citizens should be notified.
Councilman Hays presented further comments regarding identifying
sexual predators. He feels the City should have a predator
bulletin board in City Hall and their names and addresses should
be published.
City Attorney storey agreed to get back to Councilman Hays after
they attend their seminar.
PUBLIC HEARINGS. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
There were no items under this section to be discussed.
CONSENT AGENDA
A. Appointing Pastor Richard Gallo to share chaplain
responsibilities with Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tee
B. satisfaction of special assessment (paving) lien
C. Amendment to blanket license agreement with Florida East
Coast Railway Company
Councilman Hatfield made a motion to approve the Consent Agenda,
second by Councilwoman Martin. The motion CARRIED 5-0.
Reverend Tee, 316 S Ridgewood Ave. #16, introduced Pastor Richard
Gallo, Edgewater United Methodist Church. He has graciously
agreed to help out with the chaplain responsibilities.
Councilman Hatfield feels the city is fortunate to have Pastor
Gallo helping out.
OTHER BUSINESS
A. Amend contract with CET, Inc. to obtain wholesale Internet
service from them in their capacity of an authorized Internet
Service Provider
Mayor Hayman declared a conflict of interest due to he and Mr.
Davis being owners of another company. He will be abstaining
from this.
Finance Director/Assistant City Manager Fred Munoz made a staff
presentation regarding the requested service of CET.
Bill Davis, CET, Inc., introduced himself and asked if council
had any questions. He presented additional comments regarding
the Internet Service.

.....
..",
Councilman Hays questioned if someone logs on and they have a
problem or questions, those things will be routed to CET. Mr.
Davis informed him that is correct.
Councilman Mitchum asked if there a mechanism set up so when
people sign up they clearly understand that. Mr. Davis informed
him yes and that it would be published in the newsletter.
Mr. Davis presented additional comments regarding the Internet
Service they would be providing.
Councilman Hatfield asked the ratio of lines into CET's service
per the amount of customers. Mr. Davis explained the average for
a well maintained Internet service should be approximately 8
users per line. They will be starting with approximately 64
phone lines which would be about 512 users to start with. Their
goal is an approximately 70% load.
Councilman Hatfield questioned people being billed in advance so
the City will not have anyone not paying and the City being held
responsible for the bill. Mr. Munoz informed him the payment is
up front.
Councilman Hatfield asked if there is online service for the City
to obtain revenue grants. Mr. Munoz informed him the City
Manager has an address on CompuServe and some of the other
department heads have access.
city Manager McMahon spoke about offering a service to the City
at no cost to the City and at the same time simultaneously offer
a small revenue stream. He elaborated on how the proposal got
started.
Councilwoman Martin moved for approval, second by Councilman
Hays. The motion CARRIED 4-0. Mayor Hayman abstained.
B. Florida Department of Transportation Proposal (Concept No.3)
of cross-over/access management design for SR 442 widening
project
City Manager McMahon made a brief presentation. He would like to
see the Council and City retain as much of a green strip as
possible. This does mean closing down a lot of the westerly
turns that we now have onto SR 442.
City Engineer Kyle Fegley made a staff presentation regarding the
DOT proposal for the SR 442 widening project. He presented a
brief scenario on the background information. He explained each
of three concepts.
City Manager McMahon asked City Engineer Fegley to describe what
will occur on turning maneuvers in the closed down lanes as to
how they would access west and east in the areas that are open so
they know how their driving habits would be affected. City
Engineer Fegley elaborated on City Manager McMahon's concerns.
city Engineer Fegley informed Council the Department of
Transportation is looking for some direction on the cross-
section. As long as we don't change in between the curb lines
this project is continuing to move ahead at this time. It is in
right-of-way utilization stage and as long as we don't change
outside the curb lines this project is still in motion.
Mayor Hayman stated he is pleased to hear there is someone on
staff that is responsible for all this.

""""'.
Mayor Hayman asked City Engineer Fegley to explain which turning
lanes will be open coming east from I-95 for a left and right
turn and once you get to U.S.#l, do the same thing going west.
City Engineer Fegley did so at this time.
city Manager McMahon stated City Engineer Fegley is not DOT nor
does he represent DOT. What he represents is what DOT has given
the City as alternatives for the City to consider and give input.
If the City gives no input, DOT will make the selection they deem
appropriate. If we do give input, we would likely be able to
select the alternative that is being presented to DOT with the
city's preferences. The final decision, as to design criteria,
is going to be DOT.
An audience member questioned why the city has to accept what DOT
says. City Engineer Fegley explained that is DOT right-of-way
and jurisdiction. state Road 442 is a state road.
Mayor Hayman stated he is the one responsible for fighting and
getting this project funded by the DOT. If he knew then what he
knows now about the design, he probably would not have done that.
Mayor Hayman stated if the City doesn't want SR 442, you could
probably call up DOT and tell them you don't want it, and he
knows a lot of people in other cities that would love to have the
$14 million that is going to put in that artery over the next few
years. He spoke about how hard he and his predecessors fought to
get the project funded.
Mayor Hayman stated he is not happy about the conditions that are
seen in Proposal 3. This is a vast, positive change from what
they first saw. He feels they need to continue to work on the
critical areas. ultimately, the decision of this community is,
if they don't want this road, they better say so tonight, because
there are a lot of people that would love to have this money. He
wants and needs this road built.
Councilman Hays thanked staff for their work on this. He spoke
about the growth in Edgewater. We do need improvements on SR
442. We are trying to come up with something workable and
useable.
Councilman Hays spoke about the issues of bike paths, walkways,
curbing, and stormwater management. He feels they should not
overlook these items in their discussion tonight. He elaborated
on some of the problems he sees with the proposed design and
feels this is still not acceptable.
City Manager McMahon asked City Engineer Fegley to take into
consideration concerns mentioned and point out which of the
alternatives proposed by DOT would accommodate those the closest
of the three.
city Engineer Fegley elaborated on the second concept.
City Engineer Fegley spoke about the bike path that is included
in every design.
Councilwoman Martin questioned the Winn Dixie entrance not being
able to be used off SR 442. City Engineer Fegley explained only
coming from the west going into Winn Dixie, you will be able to
make a right into the Winn Dixie Plaza. You can't exit Winn
Dixie nor can you enter from SR 442. The managing company for
Winn Dixie is in touch with DOT and is trying to work out access
problems.

Councilman Mitchum questioned Banyan Tree Drive. City Engineer
Fegley explained there is no traffic separator, channelization,
and no violation of turning left into Banyan Tree Drive.
There was further discussion regarding Banyan Tree Drive.
Councilman Hays asked for a few minutes to review the agenda
packet.
There was a ten-minute recess at this time.
City Manager McMahon stated if the Council as a result of the
community input tonight can make a determination of the
alternatives that have been given to us, then probably we can
make progress with DOT. He hopes Council can come to that
conclusion.
Mayor Hayman did a count of the audience to find out how many
people liked each option. Option 1 - 0, option 2 - 15, option 3
- 14.
Lieutenant Britain explained they haven't really been involved in
the concepts with city Engineer Fegley. If you go to u-turns,
there is definitely a problem. If you go to open intersections
with five lanes, there are problems associated with that. No
matter what we do we are going to have problems we will have to
deal with. He would definitely go along with the closing of
Alamanda Drive into Winn Dixie. He spoke about the area by the
railroad tracks being a difficult situation to deal with.
Lieutenant Britain stated he doesn't like seeing u-turns. state
Road 442 is a truck route. Now we are telling trucks to use
routes that are not truck routes. He spoke about people
complaining about trucks going by and there being no construction
going on.
Lieutenant Britain would rather see every intersection open and
trucks being able to make their rights and lefts where they have
to make them and go about their business.
Councilwoman Martin made a motion to approve Option 2, second by
Councilman Hays.
Councilman Mitchum expressed concern with u-turns.
Lieutenant Britain spoke about it being easier to clear and
reroute traffic in case of an accident, if there are no medians
by Winn Dixie.
The motion CARRIED 5-0.
C. Agreement with Watersports & More, Inc. to use Menard-May
Park for operation of water sports activities
Parks and Recreation Director Jack Corder made a staff
presentation.
Mr. Corder addressed the concerns of citizens who commented
earlier under citizen Comments. There will be no need to be
concerned about overnight parking. The hours of operation would
be 8 a.m. until sundown. Due to this being a mobile set up,
there will be no facilities left on site at night so there will
be no liability problem with it. We are trying to promote
family-oriented recreation as well as generate revenue for the
city.

Council Regular Meeting

......
....,
Mr. Corder elaborated on the equipment that would be used. He
went on to speak about liability insurance. Everyone would have
to sign a waiver for leasing with the stipulation you have to be
eighteen years of age or older in order to rent a vehicle. It
would be mandatory for everyone to wear life jackets. They
cannot get into a boat by themselves unless they are sixteen
years of age.
Councilman Hatfield spoke about Menard-May Park. It appears to
him even if they are putting in small crafts there, they will
assume some liability from boats moving through there. Mr.
Corder stated the company would be doing training before someone
gets into a boat to make sure they are aware of how to operate
the equipment and all the safety factors that go with it.
Councilman Hatfield asked City Attorney storey if there are deed
restrictions that would prevent a commercial entity from leasing
a portion of this property. There was some concern about when
the property was given to the City, about deed restrictions and
putting in commercial entities. There was even a complaint about
putting the bathroom structure there.
City Attorney storey informed Councilman Hatfield the deeds were
pulled relevant to the park. There are two deeds, one from the
May family and one from the Menard family. She found no
restrictions or reverter clauses.
Councilman Hatfield asked if there are legal changes that would
have to be made as to rezoning in order to put a business entity
onto public use property. City Attorney Storey informed him it
is zoned for public use and that would be a determination for
Council to make. She further elaborated on commercial uses of
the parks that have not been sanctioned by the Council. She
spoke of a gentleman renting jet skis out of Kennedy Park. We
are aware of another enterprise that drops off kayaks at Menard-
May. Those are non-sanctioned activities. She feels her initial
position is that it is a City park and they have the right to
regulate that activity. She also mentioned guided fishing tours
that leave out of the parks.
Councilwoman Martin doesn't feel that Riverside Drive or Menard-
May Park should be commercialized.
Mayor Hayman spoke about Cameron's Fish Camp being commercially
zoned. He went on to speak about people launching their fishing
boats from Menard-May Park. He feels they have a real problem if
they don't know what is going on in the parks with regard to the
commercial enterprises.
Mr. Kenneth Rob, 1190 Herbert Street, Representative for
Watersports & More, Inc., was available to answer questions.
Mayor Hayman questioned the environmental impact with regard to
the Comprehensive Plan. Community Development Director Mark
Karet elaborated on Mayor Hayman's concerns. There is nothing in
the Comp Plan that would bar the City from entering into this
agreement whereby some private entity would use public property
as concession.
Mayor Hayman spoke about the concern of parking, traffic and the
impact of foot traffic as well as vehicle traffic to this
facility. He questioned what the plan would be when the parking
is maxed out at Menard-May Park. Mr. Rob explained his
requirements, as are stated in the contract, are a simple forty
feet by twenty feet.
Mr. Rob went on to speak about the people he has spoken to in the
community and everyone has been tickled pink about what they
would like to do.

..."".
Mayor Hayman questioned where Mr. Rob would be taking the people
on tours and if he would be going into the federal park. Mr. Rob
explained the Canaveral National Seashore has awarded them the
usage of the park.
Councilwoman Martin questioned the people that come to picnic
still having a place to park. Mr. Rob stated he would think so.
Councilman Hatfield asked if we have or need Coast Guard approval
to enter that channel. Mr. Corder stated as far as he knows,
they do not need approval to put craft out there as long as the
proper licensing is there.
Councilman Hatfield questioned who shut down the swimming at
Menard-May Park. He was informed it was the Health Department.
Councilman Hatfield suggested contacting the Health Department
before they go into an entity. Mr. Corder informed him they are
not promoting swimming. There was a brief discussion regarding
wind surfing.
Councilman Hatfield feels they need to check on liability to make
sure the Health Department has no problem with this before they
go on with this.
Councilman Hays commented on swimming being banned at Menard-May
Park due to warm weather Ecoli levels that were in the water many
years ago. with the new wastewater treatment plant and the lack
of discharge into the river that no longer presents itself as a
problem. People being in the water there is not an issue for
him.
Councilman Hays commented on the liability insurance carried by
Watersports & More Inc. He questioned what protection the City
has that people won't come back to the City if they get hurt.
city Attorney Storey stated we have no way of preventing anyone
from suing the City at any time. One of the provisions is that
the City would be named as an additional insured. Our insurance
company would expect Mr. Rob's insurance company to defend the
City. We have an indemnification clause and certainly we would
pursue that vigorously.
Councilman Hays spoke about the park area at Lake Ashby.
Mr. Rob spoke about over the last six weeks they have brought
kayaks down and put them in the water to see what kind of
reactions they would get from boaters going by. They have been
absolutely pleasant.
Mr. Rob spoke about the design of his watercraft that are used.
Councilman Mitchum doesn't know how deep the city should get
involved in this. He spoke about safety concerns he has such as
the channel and not enforcing no swimming in that area. He
further spoke about letting one entity into a park and how many
more they will have to let in. He has a problem with the city
receiving 10% of the gross receipts. By allowing this that would
put the city in business with Watersports & More. He does not
support the concept of being in business at this level or any
level with a private entity. He doesn't have a problem with the
business but he has a problem with the City participating with
that.
city Attorney Storey spoke about legal protections the City has
such as the city solicited proposals.

.."""
Councilman Mitchum stated the first he has heard of this was on
the agenda. He, as a Councilman, did not participate in this at
all. He didn't give anybody any indication he wanted to go out
for bid on this. He didn't support this and had no opportunity
to support this from the start. Had this been brought up as a
conceptual idea from before, then this Council would have said
they either had a problem with it and to stop it or it sounds
like a good proposal and entertain ideas to go out for bid. He
does not support this and would not have at any point.
Mayor HaYman spoke about not being better informed about an RFP.
Councilman Mitchum moved for denial, second by Councilwoman
Martin. The motion CARRIED 4-1. Councilman Hays voted NO.
D. Appointments to Parks and Recreation Board due to expiration
of term of Hal Jones. who requests reappointment, and due to
resignation of Larry Ruqgles
Councilman Mitchum made a motion to approve the reappointment of
Hal Jones and the appointment of Maurice J. Remillard, second by
Councilman Hatfield. The motion CARRIED 5-0.
E. Economic Development Board's request for assistance to list
Edqewater separately in telephone directory
Dick Jones, 1530 Sabal Palm Drive, Chairman, Economic Development
Board, stated he received a check for $3,000 from Wal-mart
towards the brochure.
Mayor HaYman asked Mr. Jones to make sure appropriate
correspondence is given to Wal-mart expressing the City'S
appreciation.
Mr. Jones made a presentation why they are requesting Edgewater
be listed separately in the telephone directory.
Mr. Jones asked Council to submit a letter to BellSouth
Advertising & Publishing Corporation stating the City is an
entity and we want the equal recognition for the purposes of
economic development.
Mayor HaYman informed Mr. Jones he was told when the city gets
their own telephone exchange in Edgewater then we would have our
own book. New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater were assigned the same
prefixes.
Councilwoman Martin made a motion to approve the EDB's request,
second by Councilman Hays. The motion CARRIED 5-0.
F. Addition to Agenda - Edqewater Landinq Phase I Paving Bond
Discussion and Issue
City Attorney Storey spoke about the two bonds relating to
Edgewater Landing. She explained the bond says nothing regarding
Edgewater Landing being responsible for the maintenance for one
year after the paving is done. City Engineer Fegley informed her
he ready to recommend release of the bond at this point.
City Engineer Fegley went over the twelve items of concern in
Edgewater Landing pertaining to the paving bond. The twelve
items have been addressed and repaired.
Mayor HaYman questioned there being a misconception on the part
of the residents of Edgewater Landing that they have some sort of
financial obligation associated with this contract. City
Engineer Fegley explained they are not aware of their
obligations.

,..""
Mayor Hayman clarified the burden is purely that of the City and
the responsibility lies with the City. city Engineer Fegley
informed Mayor Hayman that is correct.
Mr. Karet elaborated on a requirement in the subdivision
ordinance pertaining to when improvements are planned and put in
place, typically there is a one year maintenance period where the
City retains a Maintenance Bond. He explained why Edgewater
Landing is different.
Councilman Hatfield made a motion to approve the release of the
Phase 1 Paving Bond in Edgewater Landing, second by Councilwoman
Martin.
Councilman Mitchum clarified the homeowners association in
Edgewater Landing is not responsible for the maintenance of the
roads for one year after the paving is done.
Mayor Hayman asked for a concerned citizen of Edgewater Landing
to meet with staff regarding any concerns pertaining to the roads
in Edgewater Landing so they can be taken care of appropriately.
City Attorney storey explained the City's only involvement is
City Engineer's inspection of the finished product. The City is
not a party to the contract so , other than City Engineer
Fegley's determination whether the road is structurally
appropriate, that would be the City's only legal issue of whether
or not the contract with Radnor corporation has been met. The
City, in her opinion, has no right or any place in entering into
that discussion.
Mayor Hayman disagreed with City Attorney storey. He feels the
contract with Radnor also is supposed to be written to
accommodate the specifications of this City with regard to paving
and surfacing. City Attorney storey explained City Engineer
Fegley's recommendation is that that has been met.
The motion CARRIED 5-0.
GENERAL CITIZEN COMMENTS/CORRESPONDENCE
Mayor Hayman informed Council of the City of New Port Richey
asking for the City's support in special act and legislation to
protect their Charter and them doing it.
Mayor Hayman informed Council of a letter from the Economic
Development Board to Parts Unlimited Inc. for moving into our
city.
Mayor Hayman read a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Don Barbara of
Travelers Palm Drive expressing opposition to the utility poles
erected along Indian River Blvd. The letter also mentioned trees
and debris from the tornado that came through Edgewater still
existing on a lot on the northwest corner of Travelers Palm
Drive.
Donald Masso, 317 pine Breeze Drive, commented on the appearance
of SR 442. He spoke in opposition to removing the grass medians
in order to improve SR 442.
Councilman Hatfield agreed with Mr. Masso. He explained why he
voted for the removal of some of the grass medians being purely
because of the safety factor.
Mr. Masso suggested when you have one center lane for turning
left and right, you are facing head on collisions. He doesn't
question the safety but he is not so sure head on collisions are
almost as bad as U-turns.

Andy Anderson, 1730 pine Tree Drive, commended the Council for
their choice on Concept 2. He feels it is the most sensible
decision.
Mike Visconti, 316 Pine Breeze Drive, spoke on the widening of SR
442. He questioned if the road will be widened from U.S. #1 and
terminates at 1-95. Mayor Hayman informed him yes. Mr. Visconti
would like to see the City do something like Dunlawton Avenue is
in Port Orange.
Councilman Mitchum stated the paving will be done in two phases.
The first phase is going to Air Park Road. He feels the City
should be involved in the widening to make sure we maintain some
greenery.
Mr. Visconti feels it is an eyesore when you come into Edgewater
from 1-95.
Mr. Visconti feels the City is in business. He spoke about the
money the City is receiving for the advertisements on the benches
that he feels are an eyesore.
Mr. Visconti spoke about the fountain being erected at the corner
of SR 442 and U.S. #1. The dedication will take place August
16th at 1:00 p.m.
Peter Moncure, 120 N. Riverside Drive, agreed with Council about
not being able to keep track of the RFP's that are going out. He
would like to see that stopped.
Mr. Moncure stated if the city would like to get the attention of
the local telephone company, all you have to do is suggest an RFP
to provide competing telephone service.
Herb Bosworth, 605 Mooring Lane, spoke about the presentation of
the watersports facility. He spoke about the City not knowing
what is going on in the parks as far as leasing. He questioned
what other establishments that are non-sanctioned are in the
parks.
Mayor Hayman spoke about not being able to know what is going on
all the time. Mr. Bosworth feels the Council should know what is
going on in Edgewater.
City Manager McMahon explained all the activities in the parks
are discussed by the Parks and Recreation Board. What is not
authorized, is checked out by the Police whenever that is
possible.
Dick Jones, 1530 Sabal Palm Drive, spoke in regards to the
changes DOT wishes to make on Indian River Blvd. It is not SR
442, it is Indian River Blvd. He feels they are obnoxious and
obscene and should be thrown out.
Mr. Jones feels DOT's goal in the future is to get a bridge going
from Indian River Blvd. to the Barrier Islands.
Mr. Jones spoke about the intersection including Guava Drive and
Hibiscus Drive. He feels traffic lights should be placed there
and tied in with the railroad gates. He feels that is a
dangerous area.

City Manager McMahon had nothing at this time.
