Resolution 91-R-9 Establishing special assessment district (initial assessment
resolution) - Ms. Clayton distributed drafts of the resolution and ordinance for
discussion. She explained the assessment ordinance will require action tonight
and the resolution is an example of what they'll be adopting on March 11th. She
further explained the ordinance establ ishes the City's abil ities pursuant to Home
Rule powers to establishing an assessment district and other kinds of assessment
district, such as that considered for Florida Shores. She said it's a general
ordinance that can be used for Florida Shores or any other kind of special
assessment in the City in the future. She explained Florida Shores would have
a combination of special assessments pledged to the repayment of bonds to repay
the State Revolving Funds and possibly the acceptance of some prepayments that
will be used to retire obligations against the State under the SRF loans. She
pointed out there are a series of techniques in the ordinance that they'll be
able to pick and choose among to finance particular projects in the future.
She said the ordinance and resolution spell out certain steps to be taken and
the resolution will describe the project.
Councilperson Gillespie asked if these two actions meet all requirements for
the State Revolving Fund loans. Ms. Clayton replied the action on March 11,
which is second reading of the ordinance and adoption of the assessment
resolution will comply with what DER said about the good faith effort on the part
of the City to be sure they want to go forward with the program and they need
this proof. She pointed out even if they adopt the initial assessment
resolution, that does not mean they adopt the final assessment resolution, but
it means they're starting the program and if it's done by March 11th, they'll
benefit from State funding if they do decide to complete the program. She
explained some situations will require special consideration and Council may want
to discuss a public education program in an informal way so people can understand
what's developing and begin to understand the process. Mayor Wessler asked if
it's after the resolution. Ms. Clayton said yes and it can be dealt with in an
informal process and people will have a chance to understand what's happening.
Ordinance 91-0-1 re: special assessments for certain capital improvements and
issuance of bonds - Councilman Hays asked if the blank on page 4 will have the
name of CIP. Ms. Clayton explained he1s looking at the one for first reading
and on page 5 is a description. Councilman Hays said 4.09 payment of assessment
it says any prepayment will be only with applicable interest and Council by
resolution may determine the time when prepayment may be made and amount of
interest. Ms. Clayton explained it says some programs will have prepayment and
some will have prepayments that will require interest. She explained if they
prepay in cash there will be no premium or interest charge and if they want to
se 11 the house in the future and pay up front, there wi 11 be some way to
calculate and figure interest to date and any premium for handling because the
property appra i ser wi 11 have to note his records and they'll have a number
directly related to cost of processing any prepayment. Councilman Hays said it
will be a mechanism for those that want to save their money between now and then.
Ms. Clayton agreed.

Ordinance 91-0-1 re: s ecial assessments for
issuance of bonds Continued)
Councilman Hays asked if there were any changes on 4.11. Ms. Clayton replied
no. Councilman Hays discussed his concern regarding estimates being over-
estimated and getting into this and finding they have to raise it because numbers
weren't correct. He asked if those who put the numbers together should be held
responsible for this. Ms. Clayton said they're dealing with an ordinance and
it will govern any special assessment situation and in the resolution they may
want to say something about special payments. She noted they want to have a
cont ingency allowed for and they want it authorized and they have to give
reasonable assurance to the public. Councilman Hays said he likes the part that
if it's less they could reduce the assessment or repay but he has a problem if
it I S over, and asked if it wi 11 be addressed in a reso 1 ut i on. Ms. Clayton
replied yes.
Councilman Hays asked about section 4.14 regarding a procedure by which the lien
of an assessment may be apportioned. Ms. Clayton explained if they did the
Florida Shores project and had to finance a portion with bonds they issued and
then another area wants to do a special assessment program and wants to have a
bond issue, the City could find out this area won1t be able to pay for the entire
cost of the project so the City will have to look for other sources of revenue.
She added people holding the bonds in this area don1t want their security to be
subjected to a second later project endangering them.
Councilman Hays asked about 6.03 regarding variable rate bonds if interest
collected is less. Ms. Clayton replied when they have a variable rate they may
have lag time and may have collected more interest and other times not enough
to take care of future payments so you're enabled by this to develop a surcharge
that will be added to a bill up to the maximum interest rate they could have
charged to get back up to the point they're receiving enough from payers to cover
the cost of interest on the variable bonds. Councilman Hays asked if it's based
on a mean over a period of years. Ms. Clayton replied she's not worked with
variable rates but when you get to issue where you1re doing variable rates youlll
have a lot more detailed discussion but they1re not at a point or aren't
contemplating getting into to. She added it means you're supposed to make up
your shortfall by up to the maximum amount of interest allowed by law.
Councilperson Gillespie asked about page 21 if they miss someone on the
assessment roll, they still have the option to pick them up because Florida
Shores is partially sewered and they'll have half a street here and there. Ms.
Clayton explained it says you pick them up and correct the mistake and omission.
Councilman Jones said Section 4.10 on page 17, lien of assessments, is it if
someone is delinquent for one year it's like the taxes where it goes for auction.
Mr. Livengood replied anything that appears on the tax bill doesn't have the
option of picking and choosing and they have to pay the entire amount due or the
entire amount is delinquent and a tax certificate sold for that entire amount
and it's equal dignity as ad valorem tax. Ms. Clayton said they'll have to pay
that and the 18%. Mr. Livengood agreed.
Councilperson Gillespie reviewed Mr. Mansfield's briefing her and Councilman
Jones on when they secure SRF loans they're automatically in place by the State
to the property appearing on the role. Ms. Clayton said this spells out how
they deal with it. Mr. Ferland pointed out the SRF people will not file any
liens automatically, they're looking to the City to do it with the Property
Appraiser and the bond resolution will be that way. Ms. Clayton stated they
won't file liens but they'll have documents that say there will be a lien. Mr.
Livengood pointed out the lien is against the assessment revenue the City will
receive that they in turn will use for repayment of the SRF loans.
Ben Vasquez, said he resides at 1907 S. Atlantic, but temporarily residing with
mother-in-law on Needle Palm and acting as her representative. Mr. Vasquez
asked Council to require the City Attorney to explain legality of ordinance 91-
0-1 and resolution 91-R-9. He specifically referred to page 5, section 1.02 of
the ordinance, Findings, and page 1 of the resolution, Authority. He questioned
using 166, the home rule power, as a means of accomplishing a capital improvement
program throughout a taxing district. He said only the State or County has
authority to create a taxing district and he questions 166 being used to set up
a taxing district in order to initiate a special assessment. He said they cannot

....,
Ordinance 91-0-1 re: special assessments for certain capital improvements and
issuance of bonds (Continued) create a Florida Shores area or any others within
the City and cannot change the improvement area boundary creating more taxing
districts. He spoke at length about his and their attorney's interpretations
of the Statutes, including filing of objections in writing with the City Clerk.
He questioned authority for the section that says if the project exceeds the
estimate cost Council may increase the amount at their option. He said it also
appears in section 6.11 on refunding bonds that Council may increase assessments.
He stated special assessment may not exceed the benefit.
Mr. Vasquez spoke on section B-4 of the resolution, City Participation. He
submitted object ions signed by other peop 1 e and read the object ions. He
requested Mayor Wessler sign a receipt for this. Ms. Clayton stated the City
Clerk wi 11 note that and he can come back tomorrow for a copy. Mr. Vasquez
stated he wants this to be a public record of the City and he read the names
and addresses. (Copies attached)
Ms. Clayton stated he did a lot of work but there are some misapprehensions but
there wi 11 be fixed assessments as th i s project goes through and there's a
provision in B-4 about everyone having to make written objections and submit
them for the record. She noted everyone will be able to make oral objections
also. She stated Council can designate any part of the City that can be
geographically defined as a special assessment. Mr. Vasquez stated the State
doesn't require a referendum for special taxing districts. Ms. Clayton agreed.
Mr. Vasquez asked why they have to vote for the Library and County. Ms. Clayton
explained the Library will be a general ad valorem tax and this will be an
assessment where you'll have special benefit that will be received by each
property owner that will pay and the library is taxpayers in general. She said
there's a different format with a special benefit applicable to the property that
receives the benefit and there's no need for referendum and where you collect
general taxing authority then you have a referendum and in order to bond that
you also have to have another referendum and it depends on the type of revenue
and how you want to levy it. She reviewed the 1963 Home Rule Powers authority.
Mr. Vasquez said in absence of any law on the books, the City doesn't have the
right to tax these people. Mayor Wessler stated it's apparent he and the
attorney disagree so they won't argue and he gave his point. Mr. Vasquez stated
he has a right to answer her. Mayor Wessler suggested he talk to the attorney
tomorrow since he wants her to show him the law which authorizes the City to
create a district and put the burden on Florida Shores. Ms. Clayton agreed she
would. Mayor Wessler asked it be before the 11th.
Mayor Wessler read the Ordinance. Ord.91-0-1 - AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE

assessments - Council person Gillespie moved to advertise and meet all legal
requirements for advertising of 91-0-01. Councilman Hays seconded the motion.
Ms. Clayton asked if they intend to use both newspapers. Councilperson Gillespie
said that was the Mayor's suggestion at the last meeting. Ms. Clayton said it1s
not a legal requirement but they may want to do it in the interest of getting
coverage. Councilperson Gillespie amended her motion to be advertisement in the
Daytona Beach News Journal and New Smyrna Beach News Observer. Councilman Hays
seconded the amendment. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
3 Council Workshop/Special Meeting
February 25, 1991
'-"

Agreement between City and Jose' B. Alvarez - Ms. Clayton stated she and Mr.
Alvarez agreed to delete from the draft certain language and it provides he would
hold the City harmless and he had asked in exchange that the City agreed to hold
him harmless. She said they couldn't agree on that because she felt it was his
obligation to hold the City harmless but the City shouldn't have to hold harmless
because they paid him and it was his responsibility to perform. She said that
it doesn't substantially deviate from the agreement and she recommended they
accept it. She added she doesn't believe there will be any opportunity for the
attorney to raise issues and it would be difficult to argue with the assessment
of this agreement that terminates his services with the City and she can think
of nothing else held have to complain about because there's nothing like vacation
or employee benefits. She noted the City does retain it's option in the future
if something should develop, and they have retained those rights. Mayor Wessler
asked if everything he has that the City paid for will be returned. Ms. Clayton
replied yes and she looked it over today.
Councilman Hays expressed concern with dates of the contract because possibly
needing files or information in the future, such as on a pending case. Ms.
Clayton said they discussed that and it says he will be available for
consultation for the orderly transition of the City1s legal affairs and
transition of legal files and pending matters and that doesn't end March 5th.
Councilperson Gillespie asked who handles the open cases. Ms. Clayton said she
is and there aren't that many open of active litigation, just 3, with other open
files. Councilman Jones asked about City owned items. Ms. Clayton replied they
have an inventory from invoices and some of the books are his. Councilperson
Gillespie asked if they're cancelling the dedicated phone line and subscriptions
immediately. Ms. Clayton said yes, it should have already been done.
Ms. Clayton requested a vote to accept the contract agreement simply because of
the change unless they have questions about it. Councilperson Gillespie moved
to accept the Legal Services Agreement presented to them this evening concerning
Josel Alvarez. Councilperson Martin seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-1.
Councilman Jones voted NO.
Mayor Wessler called a 10-minute recess at 8:25 p.m. She called the meeting
back to order at 8:36 p.m.
Discussion and possible action re: City Attorney/applications
Mayor Wessler stated she had Mr. Munoz give them a figure since October, 1989
for legal fees and it was $115,288 annually and the smooth out CIP fees are
$140,091.15. Mr. Johnson explained that figure was arrived by taking the total
legal fees for CIP and dividing it by 16 months and that's for 12 months.
Councilman Jones pointed out they actually paid $39,750 to Mr. Alvarez and they
had other legal expenses with Greenburg of $56,000 for the CIP plus some legal
expenses were a one time deal and they won't face those expenditures every year.
Mayor Wessler noted the $56,000 was for Greenburg's help with the wellfield
special exception and that won't come up again but they'll be into the CIP
Program and there wi 11 be numerous problems that wi 11 need legal counsel.
Councilman Jones stated that bottom figure isn1t a true figure. Ms. Clayton
agreed some years they'll have difficult issues but they're on the verge of
beginning a couple of large programs. She referred to averaging out prior years
figures and problems with the Comp Plan, CIP, and special assessments.
Councilman Hays said he thinks past legal fees each year were close to that
amount. There was discussion regarding fees over the past 3 years and the BAN
issues.
Councilman Jones suggested they decide if they want in house or full time or part
time. Mayor Wessler said when LDRA calls theylll pay the attorney at the rate
they set and you have to add in everything they'll charge. She said full time
in house is an attorney that deals with this City, sitting here, and if they
want to go to a firm or outside attorney, that1s outside help. Ms. Clayton said
they can call firms at any hour of the week and they'd answer the phone but
they'd have other clients and the real issue is between whether you want a firm
or individual outside who will have other clients as well or if they believe
the work they have for the City could benefit from the undivided attention of
a lawyer with some experience who could have the services on call of a senior
attorney for things he hasn't dealt with in the past. She said they have to

Discussion and possible action re: City Attorney/applications (Continued)
decide if they want a requirement of experience with emphasis in litigation or
community relations or do they want someone to give them undivided attention,
has good judgement of where to look for answers, meet with LDRA and others, and
help citizens understand the legal process. She added the numbers would warrant
someone in house.
Councilperson Martin asked if they have enough work for in house 8 hours a day
because most board meetings are in the evenings. She asked if that would cost
extra. Ms. Clayton noted professional people don't get overtime. Mr. Johnson
pointed out the full time attorney could work with the Codes when not tied up
with other things. Mayor Wessler said she talked with the attorney in New Smyrna
Beach and he said although his budget looks big he works 8 to 5 and then goes
to all the meetings and functions outside the City and on the average he makes
less than $25 an hour. She noted Edgewater wi 11 bypass New Smyrna Beach on
growth and will have more problems in the next 5-10 years.
Councilman Jones said held like a full time attorney because it's difficult to
get answers when you have to call or go see an attorney but figures show they
can have a full time attorney with what they're paying now, but if they
financially cannot, then they should go in the other direction.
Ms. Clayton agreed with Mr. Johnson's statement because there are so many things
they can do that are preventab 1 e that cou 1 d avo i d extra expend i tures. She
referred to the land purchase and wellfield incident.
Councilperson Gillespie said New Smyrna Beach pays $45,232 for in house and
they're close to our population. She said there are good people in this County
to go to if they ran into something the in house attorney couldn't handle. Mayor
Wessler said by getting a full time in house they'd have a senior attorney he
could turn to if needed. Councilman Hays asked if they'd look for a senior
attorney or a group of attorneys with different areas of expertise that might
be a resource pool for this person versus going to one person for an
environmental question and another for land development. Mayor Wessler said a
firm would be better because they could keep it all in one house but she doesn't
think they have to pay them to be on call. Ms. Clayton stated with a senior
attorney you wouldn't have to specify that to begin with. She questioned where
they advertised and if it were specific enough. She suggested they go to Florida
League of Cities, City and County Attorneys I Association, and the Bar News and
advertise at least twice and then see what kind of experience is available and
at what price. Councilperson Gillespie suggested they go back out and advertise
as Ms. Clayton recommended.
Mayor Wessler asked if Council agrees they want to go in house full time. Ms.
Clayton said if they go back out and advertise she doesn't want to be self
serving. Councilman Jones said if it's not going to work, they can change it
and they'll look at a contract that will suite Edgewater and not the attorney's
needs. Mayor Wessler agreed they could change and go back if applications are
out of their range. Ms. Clayton suggested she draft an advertisement and she'll
probab ly put a range and wi 11 try to have it under her report on the 4th.
Councilperson Martin said applications mostly showed high rates. Councilperson
Gillespie said one was $45,-50,000. Councilman Hays said it's important when
they advertise to not only give a range but some specifics of what they'd expect
of the person and the goals.
Councilman Jones moved they advertise for a full time City Attorney and go out
for bids and once they get the applications in they may want to go full time in
house attorney. Councilperson Martin seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Councilperson Gillespie suggested they help Ms. Clayton put together the ad by
giving her a draft of what they want in an attorney.
Ratification of Public Employees Association contract
Councilperson Gillespie moved they accept the contract as ratified. Councilman
Jones seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Mr. Johnson expressed appreciation for being able to resolve this and cancel the
impasse.
Any other business related to the foreaoina
None brought forward. 5

Councilperson Martin said until the budget hearings are complete she'd like to
move to freeze all departments of any additional personnel, pending or not.
Mayor Wessler questioned this since they were talking about PEA and it's not on
the agenda. Mr. Johnson said the only positions they1re filling are 4 positions
they approved in the budget hearings for fire fighters. Councilperson Gillespie
asked about the Police officer. Mr. Johnson said the replacement was hired
because of reserve status. Councilperson Gillespie said this is just the Fire
Department and she seconded the motion. Ms. Clayton asked to have it on the
agenda for the 4th because it's a matter of administration and it's not on this
agenda, but it can come up since it's a regularly noticed meetings and legally
it's quite all right.
Mayor Wessler asked when they1re due to be hired. Mr. Johnson said they were
hired already and went through physicals. Mayor Wessler asked if they've started
work. Mr. Johnson said they signed up. Mayor Wessler asked if they1re due to
start before the March 4th meeting. Councilperson Martin said she thought they
were starting March 1st. Mrs. Wadsworth stated she's sworn 3 in already. There
was discussion if Council wanted them not to start work. Councilperson Martin
said the last Council hired as many paid firemen as they wanted and put 4 extra
on and maybe they1re not utilizing the other firemen who should get their hours
in and perhaps they shou 1 d do these 4 unt il they fin i sh the budget. Mayor
Wessler asked if Mr. Johnson could postpone the starting date. Mr. Johnson said
if they were hired and sworn in they'll have a problem but to clarify this it1s
important to have George Barlow from the volunteers speak to them because of some
misinterpretations. Ms. Clayton questioned what swearing in means and Mrs.
Wadsworth explained it. Mr. Johnson said most had to give notice. Councilperson
Martin asked what the payroll will be with these people as it's now over $100,000
a year. Mr. Johnson said helll get this information but they discussed this and
Council said to proceed only with firefighters and the rest of the positions
would be frozen. He added they're talking about an additional $60,000 or less
in salaries. Councilperson Gillespie asked if they had 4 firefighters in the
August budget hearings and cut it to 2. Mr. Johnson said it was 6 and went to
4 and they set a time schedule of 24 hours a day 5 days a week. Councilman Hays
asked how many full time firefighters there will be. Mr. Johnson said 11 and
that's the fire inspector also. Councilman Hays asked if it covers EMT's and
the Rescue truck. Councilman Jones noted this was in the budget and accounted
for and it's 24 hours a day protection Monday through Friday with medical EMT1s
versus medical technicians. He added they have 53 in New Smyrna Beach 7 days
and 24 hours. He stated the volunteers have been doing a good job but they're
trying to lessen a burden on a service that's a dire need in this community.
Councilperson Gillespie said she has a problem with recognition of the Volunteer
Fire Department and in the past they had 45 volunteers and functioned well and
long and hard but they're not getting the recognition or cooperation they deserve
for the job they do.
Mayor Wessler asked that George Barlow and Bill Vola attend Monday night's
meeting. Councilperson Martin asked to go back to putting volunteer badges on
their uniforms so people know who's giving their time.
Councilman Hays said when they started putting on full time paid firefighters
the understanding was these firefighters would come on during the day to cover
hours when volunteers are at their jobs but this is a metamorphosis and it1s
evolved into something different. He said some of the people concerned feel
they1re being pushed out and they've served this City well and worked hard for
years. He said the volunteers need a fair shake and it could develop into a
bigger problem but they can diffuse it.
Councilperson Gillespie said if it's going to cause a legal problem for those
that gave notice at another job, she'll withdraw her second to the motion.
Councilperson Martin withdrew her motion. Mayor Wessler said he can hold off
until March 4th if he wasn't sworn in.
Councilman Hays moved to adjourn. Councilperson Gillespie seconded the motion.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
