Mr. Powers explained the engineering costs were for paving but not for the culverts. Councilwoman Bennington expressed concern for safety for the high traffic areas along 442.

Councilman Hatfield stated that any input or information from a committee makes their job easier and better. Mayor Mitchum stated this committee served very admirably and has been a great service to the City but he feels the Manager should screen all of the people and send his recommendations to Council. He pointed out the gentlemen on the Screening Committee served capably and with dedication and this doesn't mean they couldn't serve in another capacity on another board. Motion CARRIED 3-2. Councilman Hatfield and Councilman Gold voted NO. Councilwoman Bennington asked that a certificate of appreciation be sent to everyone on the Screening Committee for their service. Coronado Paint Company's request to approve construction trailer for another twelve months - Mr. Powers read his January 30, 1989, Request for Council Action, which stated that the Planning/Zoning Director had determined this is an allowed use in the 1-2 zoning district, but had recommended it be set back from the residential lot to the north and the back property line. Councilwoman Bennington concurred with the interpretation and pointed out it had already been there for one year. She questioned the temporary status and said she felt 18 months is plenty of time for a construction trailer. Mayor Mitchum disagreed. Councilman Hatfield moved to accept the Planning and Zoning Director's suggestion and give them another 12 months. Councilman Gold seconded the motion. City Attorney Alvarez read an excerpt of the minutes of the January 4, 1988, meeting when the initial approval was granted. He pointed out it's being used for a training room and not as a construction trailer, and the memo from Mr. Joseph Ong states it's legal and doesn't require additional permitting nor is an extension request required. He stated they have to be concerned with precedence as any buildings and construction trailers could be placed around the City. He suggested they look closely at this and put in necessary restrictions to protect the rest of the City. Mayor Mitchum stated that the alternatives are that if Council concurs with the Planning/Zoning Director, no action is needed. He asked that the recommendation and motion limit it to 12 months. Joseph Ong, Planning/Zoning Director, reviewed his interpretation of the law where they would normally bring the construction trailer to the office area of a job site and he didn't see any difference in keeping that type of mobile home or structure as opposed to a classroom. He pointed out there's a junk yard in the 1-2 district and they bring a manufactured type of mobile office building and it's a logical type of building for this. -4- City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 6, 1989 ~ ,....., NEW BUSINESS (Continued) Coronado Paint Company's request to approve construction trailer for another twelve months (Cont'd) - Mr. Ong stated this office building is used for a classroom and is a logical and allowable use within the 1-2 area and to allow them permanently wouldn't cause them to spring up all around town as this is an industrial area with an industrial look to it. Mayor Mitchum stated that storing a trailer is different from using a trailer as a class- room. He disagreed that a junk yard could bring in a mobile home. Council- woman Bennington asked if they'll require the fence be put up if they limit it to 12 months and also to move it as recommended. Mayor Mitchum said he doesn't think that's needed as it's contained and no safety hazard. Councilman Hatfield withdrew his motion and Councilman Gold withdrew his second to the motion. Councilman Hatfield moved they keep the trailer intact as it is right now for 12 months in the position that it is in, no more time beyond. Councilman Gold seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Appointments to Daytona Beach Community College Steering Committee - Council- man Hatfield moved to appoint Councilman Russell Gold as the representative and Councilwoman Gigi Bennington as the alternative. Mayor Mitchum asked if they would accept and both Council members agreed. Councilwoman Bennington seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Engineering services re: stormwater utility feasibility study - Mr. Powers read his January 31, 1989, Request for Council Action, recommending Dyer, Riddle, Mills & Precourt, Inc. to work with the City Attorney to develop the data for an ordinance to implement a stormwater utility with a total upset limit of $25,651 for the project. He stated this came from the Capital Improvements Committee and was reviewed by them. Councilman Fish moved they accept it as presented. Councilman Hatfield seconded the motion. City Attorney Alvarez pointed out they should have a resolution as the master contract is about three years old with these engineers and they've had other amendments, and he can have the resolution for the next meeting. Councilman Fish withdrew his motion and Councilman Hatfield withdrew his second. Councilman Fish moved to approve it as presented and direct the City Attorney to draw up the resolution. Councilman Hatfield seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Request for proposals for investment bankers - Mr. Powers read his January 31, 1989, Request for Council Action, which recommended approval of the CIP Finance Committee's Request for Proposals for Investment Banking Services and authorize the City Manager to advertise. Councilman Hatfield moved they approve the Finance Committee's proposal as requested. Councilman Gold seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Request for proposals for wage and classification study - Mr. Powers read his January 30, 1989, Request for Council Action, which recommended approval of the proposal and authorization for the City Manager to advertise. Councilman Hatfield asked an approximate cost. Mr. Powers replied they had one done in Cocoa and used a firm that was doing a study for the County at that time and it cost them about $2,500. He pointed out that funds are budgeted for this. Councilman Hatfield moved they approve the City Manager's proposal. Council- man Fish seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Resolution requested regarding distribution of unexpended funds of Ponce De Leon Port Authority - Mr. Powers read his January 30, 1989, Request for Council Action which recommended approval for a resolution to be drawn up and placed on the February 15th agenda.

CITIZEN COMMENTS Rick Weeks, 2923 Willow Oak Drive, asked the procedures for hiring minorities and disabled American veterans. Mr. Powers replied that they'd gone over the policies and there's no preferential treatment provided for the classifications he's mentioned. Mr. Weeks stated he's applied for a job with Parks and Recreation and others have been chosen. He asked if they use the 'buddy' system for hiring as he feels he's qualified to do the job and has worked on Veterans Park. He pointed out he's a minority as an American Indian and a Veteran, and wants a chance at the job and if he doesn't qualify, he could be fired. Councilman Fish stated he felt everyone should be treated equally and fairly. Mr. Weeks stated that Veterans have preference according to the Federal government. Mr. Powers pointed out no Council action is required at this time nor permitted on this request as it falls under administration and they're in the process of reviewing the personnel policies and pro- cedures and he'll make them comply with State or Federal requirements. He stated that preferential treatment doesn't guarantee a job but that consideration is given. William Ihrig, Shangri-La Subdivision, presented pictures of water prob- lems in Shangri-La. He stated they've waited 2 years for the CIP. Mayor Mitchum explained the steps taken and the time elements for the permitting processes. Mr. Ihrig expressed concern that new construction would cause more problems. Mayor Mitchum pointed out he'd be required to contain his water on his property. Frank Roe, 2732 Juniper Drive, spoke on the Council salaries not reverting back and he felt they should work for the City and not for the money. He said the City Manager is costing money and the work of the Council should be a lot less. He asked that Council work with the Manager. Norman Billups, 1860 Pine Tree Drive, spoke on the recent heavy rains and said it was within 3" of his lawn level and he was afraid to flush the toilet. Galen McClain, 3119 Queen Palm, questioned the advertisements for variances and legal ads. He asked about the ad for the change of land use as it didn't have a signature and didn't refer to the ordinance. He asked if there are State Statutes regarding legal ads. Mayor Mitchum suggested he call the City Manager and he'll explain it, and if there's a problem, they'll correct it. Norman Cox, 3204 Umbrella Tree, reviewed his request for a vacation from the Land Development and Regulatory Agency of some of Coco Palm between the 20th and 21st block. Mr. Powers explained the request was forwarded to the City Attorney as requested by LDRA for possible drawing up of documents that would be required for Council to consider vacating and it will be scheduled for the next meeting. City Attorney Alvarez stated that in December he'd appeared before LDRA and the Agency directed a memo be sent to his office requesting some legal documents but the memo didn't reach his office until January 31st. He noted that the City Manager's philosophy is that the City shouldn't vacate anything and the Manager and Mr. Ong appeared before LDRA recommending it shouldn't be granted. He added that LDRA had approved it and it was at Council level and will come to Council when administration determines to put it on the agenda. He said if Council approves it, then he'll be directed to prepare the necessary documents. Mayor Mitchum stated it will be at the next meeting. Lorena Henninger, 12 Marilyn Drive, spoke on the heavy traffic on Turgot Avenue and the water they had in their yards due to a drainage problem. She asked when Turgot would be paved. Mayor Mitchum explained the involve- ment with the School Board regarding the paving for their portion of the road. Mr. Powers stated that the Engineer did a preliminary rerouting of the area around the ballfield and a cost estimate and it's been for- warded to the School Facilities personnel. Mrs. Henninger stated they need a drainage ditch also. Mr. Powers explained drainage will be pro- vided when they pave. Mrs. Henninger asked that they look into the sewer. -6- City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 6, 1989 ~ -.- CITIZEN COMMENTS (Continued) Mayor Mitchum called a 5-minute recess at 8:43 P.M. He called the meeting back to order at 8:49 P.M. Ken Winter, Marilyn Drive, asked they pave to the end of the street and up to the School Board property since the City has its own equipment for paving. Mayor Mitchum replied they're discussing both methods of paving with the School Board. Mr. Winter asked if they could control the dust since the School Board has denied any interest in working with the City. Mayor Mitchum stated the School Board indicated interest and they have to reroute the road. Mr. Winter stated he'd talked with the School personnel and Mayor Mitchum pointed out the School Board calls the shots. Mr. Winter asked about insurance liability if there's an accident on that road due to the dust being so bad you can't see children walking. Mayor Mitchum pointed out there are 75 miles of unpaved roads in Florida Shores. Mr. Winter stated that street is 90% of the tax base of the streets that run off u.S. 1. Mayor Mitchum asked that the City Manager contact the School Board personnel and schedule another meeting, if necessary. Mr. Winter asked that he be kept informed. Mayor Mitchum requested a report back on February 15th. COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS City Attorney - City Attorney Alvarez had no report at this time. City Manager - Mr. Powers stated that Council's aware they got a verbal con- firmation of the substance that went to the state for testing that it has an asbestos content, and a written report should be received tomorrow. He said another agency was asked to provide us with a check list of items we need to cover in order to render this substance inert for health purposes. He said he requested the Engineers put together a Request for Proposals for the City requesting statements of qualifications from consulting firms to render services necessary for removal or encapsulation of asbestos in the City Hall complex. He pointed out agendas had already been distributed before word came back, and he requested Council's authorization to go out for RFP's for these services and move this forward rather than wait. He added that in talking with the State and describing the circumstances of the asbestos materials, the opinion was that it is not an imminent threat but they do need to address it. Mayor Mitchum asked if there are State guide- lines with the RFP's. Mr. Powers replied the consulting firms would put the specifications for the actual removal and the State is forwarding the EPA guidelines and other guidelines they have available. Councilman Hatfield stated they need to move as quickly as possible and he so moved they take the City Manager's recommendation. Mayor Mitchum suggested the City Manager and City Attorney come up with the proposal for expediency and legality. Councilman Hatfield agreed to include that in his motion. Councilwoman Bennington seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. City Council - Councilman Hatfield stated that he'd attended the LDRA meeting and the Fire Department's meeting and both have requested a meeting with the Council. He suggested a date of February 16th at 7 PM with LDRA. There was no objection from Council to that date and time. Councilman Hatfield said the Merit Board has suggested a meeting date with them of February 22nd. No Council member expressed objection to that date at 7:00 P.M. Councilman Hatfield suggested that other boards may want to meet with Council and they should set up dates. Mayor Mitchum suggested the City Manager poll the boards and have a report back on the 15th. Councilwoman Bennington stated that the deadline for the Charter Review Committee applications has been extended to the 10th and asked that the press publicize that to get people interested in serving. Councilman Fish stated that the Computer Committee has had four meetings and met with various department heads to discuss their requirements and explored various sources and talked with private concerns who are authorized to work through State bids. He advised they should have a presentation to Council the first meeting in March. -7- City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 6, 1989 . , ~' ...., COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS (Continued) City Council (Cont'd) - Mayor Mitchum stated they'd met with Fire Chief Larry Carson and Chief Carson was to take some recommendations back to the Fire Department and then bring a report back to Council. He said the Fire Department is requesting a meeting with Council and Chief Carson indicated he's not opposed to a meeting. He suggested the City Manager call Chief Carson and set up another meeting for the three of them. Councilman Hatfield stated there's nothing negative from the Fire Department but they did ask who authorized the Mayor to say things and the City Manager to give these reports. Mayor Mitchum stated they made no decisions. Councilman Hatfield said they took them as decisions and it would be better if they work as a whole. Mayor Mitchum suggested they handle this the same as with the boards, and asked the City Manager to get the report from Chief Carson. QUESTIONS FROM PRESS There were no questions from press.
