Mayor Mitchum explained they'll address that in the hearing later on the agenda. Georae Ewina, 2923 Royal Palm, stated the last meeting was conducted in a pleasant manner with a lot of humility and was the best held ever attended. He asked who decides whether there is citizen participation for special meetings or workshops. Mayor Mitchum replied Council makes the decision. Mr. Ewing pointed out he's been at a couple of meetings and was shut off by the Mayor and other Council members hadnlt been consulted and they weren't asked their wishes. He added if a decision was made before those meetings, someone violated the Sunshine Law. Mr. Johnson explained the Mayor controls the meetings and most workshops are discussions between staff and Council and most workshops don1t have public participation but the decision is made by Council. Mayor Mitchum stated Council adopted Roberts Rules of Order and the Mayor is Chairman of the Council and holds the pace. Mayor Mitchum called time. Councilman Gold agreed he could continue. Mr. Ewing recalled the meetings where he was not permitted to participate, adding that citizens would like the Mayor to announce at the beginning of the meeting what will be the Council wishes for that meeting. He pointed out under Citizen Comments, a Councilman can allow a citizen to continue without a full Council vote. He asked if that applies to a workshop or special meeting. Mayor Mitchum explained one Council member can and any time they want to hear from anyone person, they can do so. There was further discussion between Mayor Mitchum and Mr. Ewing regarding Roberts Rules of Order and the duties of the Mayor at Council meetings. .....- , .. ..., CITIZEN COMMENTS (Continued) Georae Ewina (Continued) Mr. Ewing asked if he would be recognized at a meeting. Mayor Mitchum replied it depends on the circumstances. Councilman Fish stated he1s asking for a blanket answer and it depends on the circumstances and the subject and whether they want input and that would cover every meeting. Councilmember Bennington stated Council has always done business at a special meeting for Council to take action on a specific item the meeting was called for and workshops are for Council to discuss with staff or whoever they choose to and with neither one, workshop or special meeting, does Council have to allow citizen input. She added it would depend on the meeting. Mr. Ewing stated some people want to talk about specific items on the agenda but weren't' allowed. Mayor Mitchum called a 6-minute time limit, asking if Council wished him to proceed. Councilman Hatfield suggested when the City Attorney arrives, he could have a chance to talk later in the meeting and could address it more fully then. Mr. Ewing stated most people follow Roberts Rules in most cases until they get the gaveL Counci 1 member Bennington pointed out they have Roberts Ru les of Order and Council can set their own rules. Mr. Norman Billups was escorted from the meeting at this time by Chief Schumaker at the request of Mayor Mitchum, due to loud, disruptive language. Harry Jones, 3035 Tamarind, reminded Council they were elected to overlook the running of the City and they can delegate authority but not responsibil ity regarding the amendment to the agreement for the Dyer, Riddle, Mills & Precourt. He said held like to know how much Dyer, Riddle has received from the City with a summary of what they. ve done. He impressed upon Council the difference between authority and responsibility. CONSENT AGENDA There were no items on the consent agenda for this meeting. NEW BUSINESS Mr. Mike Hays' re: financial Dlannina for the C.I.P. Mike Hayes, 2319 Umbre 11 a Tree, stated 1 ast week the House passed HB 1827 regarding disclosure for State bond issues before they're sold. He added they want to know, and have the right to know, how much it costs and who gets the money and if that money is being spent wisely. Mr. Hays asked who's been retained as Financial Advisor for the CIP and what date was that person hired. Mayor Mitchum replied it's Raymond James. Mr. Johnson explained it was 2 to 3 months ago at a Council meeting and he can get the date. Mr. Hays asked if the Advisor is actively selling bonds on Wall Street. Mr. Johnson replied he works for the City and not for the bond houses and just advises the City and part of their agreement is they couldn't do it for the City. Mr. Hays asked if the Financial Advisor has given them a quote and how much it was. Mr. Johnson replied helll get the information and none will be bid until bonds are issued. Mr. Hays asked what the Financial Advisor said the other fees should be. Mr. Johnson explained he doesn't set those and the City approved an underwrite some time ago, A. G. Edwards, and a Bond Attorney, Dan Livermore, and those contracts were negotiated by this Council and are on file at City Hall if he wants to review them. Mr. Hays asked if the Financial Advisor gives them estimates of those fees. Mr. Johnson replied no. Mr. Hays asked who the underwriter is for these bonds. Mr. Johnson replied A. G. Edwards. Mr. Hays asked the association between the two. Mr. Johnson replied none, and there cannot be, and they all work together but are not related. Mr. Hays asked if the underwriter gave them a written quote for his fees. Mr. Johnson replied it was negotiated prior to last July. Mayor Mitchum explained they submitted competitive proposals and they were in the range of others and then those fees were negotiated. Mr. Hays asked if they invited bids for underwriters. Mayor Mitchum replied yes. Mr. Hays asked who is bond counsel for the CIP. Mayor Mitchum replied Dan Livermore of Livermore, Klein & Lott from Jacksonville. Mr. Hays asked the fee for bond counsel. Mayor Mitchum said it was done at a public meeting and those records are in City Hall. Mr. Hays asked if the City Attorney gave them a quote for his fee for this project. Mayor Mitchum replied yes, it was separate from bond counsel and from his contract and was not under his scope of services. -2- Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 16, 1990 ~ ...", NEW BUSINESS (Continued) Mr. Mike Hays' re: financial planning for the C.I.P. (Continued) City Attorney Alvarez arrived at this time, 7:21 p.m. Mr. Hays asked if bonds will go on open market. Mayor Mitchum replied that's premature and they don't know yet. Mr. Johnson explained A. G. Edwards can purchase the bonds themselves or sell part of them or have co-underwriters to assist them, and when the City goes through the process and comes up with the interest rate, at that time the bond houses will buy them and disburse them and try to sell them in various ways. Mr. Hays asked if it will be competitive bid or negotiated sale. Mr. Johnson replied they'll make a recommendation to Council. Mr. Hays asked if they've made a decision. Mr. Johnson replied no. Mr. Hays asked the amount of the entire engineering fee and how much has been paid to date. Mayor Mitchum replied engineers are consulting and each job is done under separate contract and fees are public record. Mr. Hays asked if the figures will include fees paid to them. Mayor Mitchum said it would be his request and it's public record. Mr. Hays asked if after they sell the bonds, do they stop paying it, or sell the bonds for the engineers. Mr. Johnson replied their contract is for design and building for the CIP and it's not based on sale of the bonds. Mr. Hays asked what the estimated dollar amount will be. Mr. Johnson explained it's an estimate based on the total cost. Mr. Hays asked if it's according to the bond. Mr. Johnson explained it has nothing to do with the bond, their contract is to design a CIP and build, and they deal with the State for approvals, which aren't related to the bond. Mr. Hays asked the members of the financial team. Mayor Mitchum replied the principals are the engineers, Dyer, Riddle, Mills & Precourt; Dan Livermore as bond counsel; the City Attorney; A. G. Edwards as investment banker; and Raymond James as Financial Advisor. Mr. Hays asked if the $3 million plus seed money was a bond anticipation note. Mr. Johnson replied yes, it was $4.7 million last August. Mr. Hays asked if a member of United Taxpayers of Edgewater could be a member of this or be allowed to be present at these CIP planning meetings to help them gather information. Mayor Mitchum replied the meetings are public in the City Hall conference room and they are posted. Mr. Hays asked wha't opt ions they chose and what percent of each opt ion wi 11 repay the bonds. Mr. Johnson explained they don't know the rate for the amount from the State Revolving Fund and it will be backed by revenues from water and sewer and utility taxes until special assessments have been perfected and at that point, utility tax will be relieved as an obligation and special assessment will take over. Mr. Hays asked if they know what percent will be special assessment. Mr. Johnson replied they donlt go by percent, they want to know if there's ade- quate revenue to debt service, but won't know until the closing of the loan for the sewer plant. He added the 1991 loan year is when they'll get the system and they had money for low pressure but now donlt have it all for gravity and donlt know the amount. He pointed out the water plant and water lines will be done through bond issue and will be based on revenues and special assessments, and depends on the final figure and how they qualify for State Revolving Funds. Mr. Hays asked about the revenue bond. Mr. Johnson exp 1 a i ned they have to perfect a special lien. Mr. Johnson suggested he see Susan Wadsworth and fill out a request and she'll get the information for him.

SECOND READING:(PUBLIC HEARING) Ord. 90-0-13 Amending Chapter 16. Taxation. by adding fuel oil as a taxable item and establishing a flat ten per cent utility tax - Mayor Mitchum read the Ordinance. ORD. 90-0-13 -AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDGE- WATER, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 16, TAXATION, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA, BY ADDING FUEL OIL AS A TAXABLE ITEM AND BY ESTAB- LISHING A TEN PERCENT UTILITY TAX, CONTAINING A REPEALER PROVISION, A SEVERABIL- ITY CLAUSE, AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. He requested audience comments. George Ewing, 2923 Royal Palm, asked for an explanation of what the tax really is. Mr. Johnson explained there are two things, one is fuel oil will be added and cable TV will be deleted, and this isn't changing the present law and nothing that's not taxed at the present time, except fuel oil, and all it does is bring the ord i nance into comp 1 i ance wi th State Statutes based on the Attorney Genera l' s opinion that we were illegal the way it was done and you can't have brackets and has to be a flat rate. Mr. Ewing stated the ordinance says the tax will be 10% on fuel oil, but you aren't changing and putting tax on water and sewer or on Florida Power and Light. Mr. Johnson explained that's already taxed, and the power bill has a franchise fee and also utility tax. Mr. Ewing asked if 6% is State or City tax. Mr. Fred Munoz, Finance Director, replied it's 6% now and is a City tax. There was continued discussion between Mr. Ewing, Mr. Munoz, and Mr. Johnson regarding present taxes on Southern Bell and toll access and per- cents. Mr. Johnson again pointed out taxes now are $10 up to a certain dollar figure and then it drops. Mr. Munoz read an excerpt from the Statutes regarding telephone service. Mr. Ewing asked about cable TV. Mr. Johnson replied cable doesn't come under this and the recommendation is cable TV's to come out because it's not classified as a utility and runs through FCC. Mr. Ewing stated he pays 6% on cable now. Mr. Johnson noted it1s sales tax to the State, not to the City. Mr. Ewing asked if Council could charge the maximum 10% on all these utilities. Mr. Ewi ng stated he hopes Counc il i sn 't go i ng to put on taxes and increase Florida Power from 6% to 10% and possibly put on a tax for water, sewer, refuse, and stormwater. Mr. Johnson explained Council is not doing anything the state doesn't allow them to do and the Florida Attorney General said we're doing it wrong and there's a flat percentage and the utility tax is 10%. He pointed out there are franchise and utility taxes. Mr. Ewing stated they don't want to be saddled with more taxes in the future and perhaps they shouldn't be following the Attorney General because sometimes he can be prejudiced against cities and if we don't have to do something, maybe we shouldn't do it. Mr. Johnson explained the Attorney General is the final rule when going to court on State Statutes and he doesn't rule in favor of cities all the time nor does he rule against them all the time, and Council has the right to put a 10% utility tax on all utilities. -5- Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 16, 1990 ,. .... ..., SECOND READING:(PUBLIC HEARING) (Continued) Ord. 90-0-13 Amending Chapter 16. Taxation. by adding fuel oil as a taxable item and establishing a flat ten per cent utility tax (Continued) John Siburn, Connecticut Avenue, stated he has gas in his house and the gas tax is about 13%. He asked if the utility bill is only for oil. Mr. Johnson explained the 13% is part of a utility tax and partly a franchise fee and hels paying 10% for utility tax now, and it should be a slight increase. Mr. Siburn stated his franchise portion of the bill went up 4 or 5 years ago by 13%. Jake Lodico, 302 N. Riverside Drive, stated they keep increasing the taxes and the City Manager should think about cutting down on spending. Mr. Johnson explained the tax is there now. Mr. Lodico stated no wage is too much if the person is earning it, but some aren1t earning it and maybe the City Manager should look around. Ravmond Bradshaw, 2015 S. Riverside Drive, asked if the $30,000 to be returned for the balance of this year was based on this ordinance or anticipated by the present amount. Mr. Johnson replied the increase is based on where the brackets is because up to a certain amount is 10% and then the next bracket is 5% and then noth i ng, and everyone is to pay a fl at fee the same as those in the lower brackets and they won't get a break by using more. Mr. Bradshaw asked if the City will get an additional $30,000 by changing this ordinance. Mr. Johnson replied yes, thatls the estimate. Mr. Bradshaw asked if it1s $30,000 to bring it into conformity with the Attorney Generalis opinion. Mr. Johnson replied yes. Mr. Bradshaw asked if the City could have applied any constant percent, such as 8 or 9%. Mr. Johnson replied yes. Mr. Bradshaw asked why they want to increase it by $30,000 with 10% when they can go to 9% and bring in revenue at the present 1 eve 1. Mr. Johnson rep 1 i ed 9% wou 1 d not br i ng the revenue to the correct position, and utility service revenues are low because people are being more conservative. Mr. Bradshaw asked the total cost and what percent the $30,000 is on an annual basis. Mr. Johnson replied it's a very small percentage. Mr. Bradshaw asked the revenue on those taxes. Mr. Munoz replied last year it was $470,000. Mr. Bradshaw asked if the change will bring in another $70,000 on an annual basis. Mr. Johnson replied yes. Mr. Bradshaw asked if it~ a~~~t 15% more. Mr. Johnson explained under the present system, for the first 2OJ;Vau pay 10% and after that you pay 5%. Mr. Bradshaw asked if revenue from this tax is dedicated to a certain part of the City's expenditures or general revenue. Mr. Johnson replied general revenue and periodically it has been used for collateral and backing for bonds. Mayor Mitchum requested a motion to go from the public hearing to the regular meeting. Councilman Hatfield so moved. Councilman Fish seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Ord. 90-0-13 - Councilman Hatfield moved they accept Ordinance 90-0-13.
