YMCA/Pool Update
City Manager Hooper informed Council of a letter he wrote to
Randy Brown at the YMCA identifying some areas that are not in
compliance with the contract. He went over the list of time
frames in the original agreement that have not been followed with
regard to the YMCA not yet reimbursing the City $55,753.11 for
design and construction modifications to the existing gymnasium
to accommodate future construction of the pool/bathhouse. The
pool was to be completed by December 31, 2001, and the YMCA
obtained a permit for construction of the bathhouse but has yet
to start construction. He mentioned there have been discussions
back and forth of other options but he feels they are down to
living up to the contract which says the $55,000 to be paid, the
gymnasium not being able to use those restroom facilities and
they need to move ahead with construction of the pool and they
need to move ahead and show they can fund the bathhouse
simultaneous to the pool.
City Manager Hooper asked the Council to allow him to do a stop
Work Order on the pool until it can be shown that the pool and
bathhouse will be built and completed at the same time. He would
like to sign and send the letter out unless they tell him there
is another method the Council has in mind. He is concerned about
allowing construction to continue of a contract that clearly
right now there isn't enough funds to complete.
Bob Ludlow, Corporate Board Chairman, Greater Daytona Beach Area
YMCA, stated he is representing the Corporate Board's interest in
the Edgewater project. He spoke about working out the project
for Edgewater and without Edgewater's commitment they wouldn't be
here discussing this. The pool project for Edgewater is the
largest commitment that the Corporate Board of the YMCA has ever
made since 1930 to any community in the greater Daytona Beach
area. To date they have spent $221,000 on this project out of
the YMCA's money. Through extensive work by the local community
volunteer group who is in the audience, they have raised over
$250,000 for the project. Of that 25% of the money came from
people outside of the City of Edgewater as far north as Ormond
Beach. There is still a lot of hard work to go on as they move
forward. They rely on community support, the people that use the
YMCA. They are still looking for someone in this community to
donate some money to help them complete the pool project so their
Corporate Board itself doesn't have to continue to fund this.
They are looking for additional dollars. The corporate Board
fully intends to meet its contractual obligations although they
are a little far behind as it stands today as well as their
spiritual obligations to the taxpayers of Edgewater. They do
have the ability to fund this project. He spoke of volunteers in
Ormond Beach that are willing to come down and help finish the
pool. The Corporate Board has to approve some of these. They
have some new plans from a development corporation that they can
cut the cost probably and have a larger facility. The Board
doesn't meet until March 26th for approval. Informally he has
spoken with some of the people on the Board and they do support
the project.
Randy Brown, President CEO, Greater Daytona Beach YMCA, stated
the cost for the pool, the decking and the fence around the pool
is about ~ million dollar cost. The cost that has put them in a
bind is building the second retention pond. They weren't aware
of what that would cost until January 5th. He spoke about time
spent in the community by the volunteers to raise money. He made
mention of conversations with City Manager Hooper regarding what
they were going to try and do to make this work. The city
Council has bent over backwards for them. He feels they were too
optimistic when you go out and raise those kinds of funds but
when you get volunteers around you that are that optimistic you
tend to get optimistic as well.

Mr. Brown spoke about the additional cost and the lower price
they have gotten from another developer. They have $600,000 that
the Corporate Board agreed to. They also received $250,000 in
pledges. Boston Whaler, Kayat and Coronado Paint gave good
pledges. The bank wouldn't give them a loan against that amount,
other than the $600,000, because the pool is not on their
property. They are trying to figure out how they best leverage
the $200,000 they have left to collect in pledges over the next
three to four years. The $500,000 for the pool, and the cost of
about another $112,000 plus the $55,000 from the clearing work
the city did, they have that cash.
Mr. Brown stated they have been waiting for this to come to them
in writing so they could discuss it more than just hope. They
have all the intentions in the world to keep this contract in
place. They need time to go back to their Board. If the person
that said they could come down and do that project for $112,000,
they are going to be getting in contact with him over the next
few days to confirm that he can do it for that price. If it is,
they don't have to go back to their Corporate Board for a loan
for more money.
Mr. Brown stated if they do have to go back, there are three
options he would like the Council to go consider if that is a
little bit higher than he really thinks it is. They want this
pool to open up in time for pool season. There is a lot of
revenue they can gain from that that can help pay for these
costs. Their goal is to get the pool open in April. They have
already spent $221,000 on the project to date. If the contractor
can come in and build the restrooms, it is going to take anywhere
from ten to twelve weeks to build them. If they started in the
next couple of days on this, they could have this done by May
opening and that would be with the restrooms as City Manager
Hooper has requested.
Mr. Brown stated if they have to wait to borrow more money then
they can't get started until after their Board votes on March
26th. They have had a meeting with the six Chairs and they all
support doing what they need to do to make sure this takes place.
Mr. Brown stated his options were: 1) to allow the pool to open
with restrooms. They are looking at the possibility of leasing
the type of restrooms you see at a professional Golf Tournament.
The average cost would be somewhere between $750 to $1,000 a
month. If they did this, they could open the pool around April
15th. 2) The City of Edgewater would help by paying the
difference of where they are now and with the $200,000 in pledges
they have coming in, they would be turned over to the city of
Edgewater. If they did that, they still would be able to get the
pool open by June 15th to July 1st but they would also have to go
back to their Board to get that approved. 3) If the corporate
Board approves the loan, to increase the loan from $600,000 to
$700,000. 4) he hopes this is not an option is that the City
declines to extend the contract and that the City takes over the
operation of the building and that the YMCA would no longer be
here. He hopes this would be a worse case scenario that the City
would do that.
Mr. Brown stated if they need to write a check for the $55,000
tomorrow they can do that. He feels it would be a higher
priority to get this pool in place for the community at first
than getting the money back to the City at that time.
Mr. Brown spoke about when the market study and feasibility study
were done. One thing that came out was it was going to be very
tough to do this because there has not been any corporate
leadership that had ever stepped up in this community and really
taken a leadership role in helping develop the community. He
apologized that they have not met the guideline of this but they
are trying and will not give up until the Council tells them to.

councilwoman Rhodes asked how long it would be before they would
know if the prices that this contractor has given them are going
to fall. Mr. Ludlow stated the worse case scenario would be
March 26th. Best case scenario would be by the end of next week.
councilwoman Lichter expressed concern with the YMCA continuing
at this point without having that definitely in hand. She
doesn't want to see it terminated but she also has to represent
the taxpayers of this city. She feels they need the $56,000 in
hand and they have to know by March 27th if the Board is doing to
back them. She feels they can't do anything else on the pool
until they know that.
city Manager Hooper recommended the Council approve him signing
the letter which doesn't terminate anything. This is a notice
letter that says things aren't working well and the things they
are describing or what has been described to Council that aren't
working. That puts them on notice and gives them past the March
26th meeting to come back and answer.
city Manager Hooper stated the pool is being poured. As soon as
that is poured there is a break that occurs at that point that
they can stop and not cost or time or real money for anybody
else. He suggested putting a stop work order on that until they
come back and explain they have the money to finish the contract
including the pool, the bathhouse and the repayment of the money.
city Manager Hooper mentioned conversations he and Jack Corder
have had regarding if the City took this facility over.
councilwoman Lichter feels this it is not a matter of not trust.
This is almost a legal situation. You have to have this kind of
letter in writing. city Manager Hooper explained this is part of
the contract.
councilman Brown asked if the stop work order would set them back
three weeks. City Manager Hooper stated it is for however long
it is stopped.
councilman Brown feels three weeks isn't setting them back too
much. He feels they need to give them the time but they do need
to stop it.
City Manager Hooper stated May 1st is the earliest the bathhouse
could be done. If it is setback two to three weeks it would be
consistent with both of them being able to be opened.
Mr. Brown asked what that does to the other subcontractors that
have already been put on a schedule and what happens if they get
setback, there probably could be more cost to that. He feels
this could throw everything else back because things have to fall
in place one subcontractor at a time. He asked to sit and talk
with Bill West of Weller Pools to see what kind of setback that
may cause them before they make that determination.
Realistically it could hurt all of them.
Mr. Ludlow stated the Council has already indicated that it is
going to move ahead with the project with the Y here or not. The
shell and the pool have to be built anyway. It does no one any
good to put it back another three weeks. If the city signs the
thirty day notice, that is a shot across the bow to the Corporate
Y and it gives them a dead date of the 26th at their Corporate
Board meeting that they have to do something. If they stop the
work, it is still going to put the City back even if the Y isn't
part of the deal. He would hate to see a stop work order happen.

v
....,
Councilwoman Rhodes stated if they didn't stop the work and they
allowed it to go on, are they in any deeper than they are now
since it has been poured. city Manager Hooper stated he thinks
they are. What occurs is the construction continues and it
continues with a contract the City is not part of, but if they
terminate this at the end of some period we will become part of
that contract. We will take over and finish. He stated there
would be a difference in cost in how the City would approach it.
They have already described there is a change order that the City
mayor may not be willing to say that is what we want.
Councilwoman Rhodes stated if they continue and they do what they
want, they are paying for it. City Manager Hooper stated if they
finish the project. If they don't finish it, then it reverts to
the city. Councilwoman Rhodes stated if they take it three weeks
further then they have paid for whatever they have done. City
Manager Hooper stated that will continue to mount as a bill.
They have paid $200,000 out of a $500,000 contract. There is a
balance out there.
Councilwoman Lichter asked if the Y is going to switch
contractors. Mr. Brown stated not on the pool. They are talking
about the bathhouse which is done by a different contractor.
Weller Pool has completed 75% of the pool and they will have
another big paYment to make soon that is already coming to them.
They have paid $221,000 to date, but they will have almost paid
every bit of the pool project on the pool itself before the next
30 days.
Councilwoman Lichter feels there should be a stop at this point.
She has to think of the residents of Edgewater.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked if their Board could call a special
meeting. Mr. Brown stated they have looked at that and it is
very hard to get 30 different people to a Board meeting at one
time. He feels they need to make sure they have the potential of
having everyone there. He stated they have 10 new Board members
coming on that have no idea where they have been over the last
two or three years. He feels it would be difficult to do that
and give it the right amount of discussion it deserves.
Mayor Schmidt suggested they go with March 27th. Hopefully they
will get the information earlier. He suggested they do a stop
work order after the walls are poured even though he isn't sure
if he is agreeable with that. He feels in the end the pool will
be built whether it is by the Y or by us.
city Manager Hooper stated if they are going to do the stop work
order, he feels the appropriate time is right after the finish of
the pouring of the sides and bottom of the pool, which should be
tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday. If they come back and prove
there is money there and all the things that the contract says we
are happy with, they can release that and move on.
Councilman Brown asked about if they want to look at the pledges.
City Manager Hooper stated the pledges are only effective if the
Council is interested in loaning money. He would love to say
that is a good deal but he hasn't seen it.
City Manager Hooper informed the Council what they need to tell
them is he has a letter he is telling them he wants to send and
he thinks it is within the rights to send and they are telling
him no if they don't want him to otherwise it goes.
Councilwoman Rhodes feels it wouldn't hurt the Y too bad and it
protects us and that is their interest and they need to do that.

......,
Mayor Schmidt stated he thinks they are all in agreement to go
ahead and send the letter. He asked if they could get a progress
report on the pool from now until it will be done. City Manager
Hooper stated he would like to attend the meeting they have with
the contractor where they look at and talk of the prices. Mr.
Brown was agreeable to that.
Councilman Vincenzi stated he would like to know how the finances
are going to be handled before the work resumes. City Manager
Hoper stated their Board is going to be asked to either have the
contract in front of them explained that the change orders and
the finishing of the bathhouse fits within the dollars they have.
If it doesn't fit, they will be asking the Corporate Board to
increase the loan amount. One of those things needs to be
demonstrated back to the Council either check, money or a
commitment.
Councilman Vincenzi feels they need to make sure the money is
there, stop the work now, get a commitment, make sure the
documents are there and make sure the money is available to
complete it the way they want it done.
Councilman Brown stated the YMCA has always been a great thing
for our City and the Board is very enthusiastic. He feels they
will work their way through this. Nobody wants the YMCA to go
away. They have to watch out for the citizens money. He feels
the letter will have to go out.
Mayor Schmidt asked if they should set some type of timetable for
payment of the $56,000. City Manager Hooper stated the letter
says that is one of the failures of the contract and gives them a
30-day period to ask for more time or write a check.
Councilwoman Rhodes stated they want this to work but they have
to protect the taxpayers. We are going to do our best to do the
best by the YMCA that we can but our primary concern is the
citizens of Edgewater.
Mr. Brown asked for feedback from the Council that if they
believe they will be able to get this done with the money they
have, that is what they believe tonight. If the contractor is
able to do this for $112,000, then he could write the $55,000
check and they would be okay. If it didn't happen, when they
write the $55,000 check, it will put the bathhouse further back.
Either way he will do what the Council wants because it is owed
to them. They asked for an extension before and he would ask for
an extension again but he isn't so sure that is the right thing
to do.
Councilwoman Rhodes told Mr. Brown to wait until they know and
then when they know if they need more time they can come back and
ask the Council. Mr. Ludlow stated they will have a definite
answer within the 30-day period they have on this. Mr. Brown
stated hopefully before then. Mr. Ludlow is still concerned with
the stop work order.
Mr. Brown feels the only thing they will be talking about that
will have to be finished will be the decking of the pool and then
the pad that has to be laid for the bathhouse, the fence that
goes around it and finishing the landscaping. The slide has been
ordered, the sprays are in place and the gutter system is in the
zero entry.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mike Visconti, 316 pine Breeze Drive, asked how much membership
the YMCA has from the past two years. Mr. Ludlow informed him
they have 450 members. Mr. Visconti felt this sounded low and
questioned if the dues are too high. Councilwoman Lichter stated
the Y is in charge of that situation.

Mr. Ludlow stated they offer financial assistance for anyone that
would like to apply for it.
Mayor Schmidt feels 450 members isn't that bad considering there
isn't a pool right now.
There was a ten-minute recess at this time.
CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Mayor Schmidt had nothing at this time.
Councilman Brown stated he went to the Maglev demonstration and
was very impressed. He hopes this will end up getting annexed
into our City. He could see this help promote Edgewater and
bring in jobs.
Councilman Vincenzi stated he thinks the Maglev facility is just
a test facility and won't bring too much here.
Councilman Vincenzi feels the litter idea with the Police
Department is a great idea.
Councilman vincenzi complained about Time Warner. The Council
sent a letter a couple of months ago to Diane pickett and it
didn't have any effect. She didn't even answer the letter. He
has a different name to complain to. He is going to write a
letter personally and he would like the Council's permission to
write another letter from the City complaining and he would also
like to put something in the next newsletter and encourage people
to write if they aren't happy with the cable rates. If they
don't hear people are dissatisfied they will just keep going.
Councilwoman Rhodes stated she would write a letter.
It was the consensus of Council to send another letter to Time
Warner and put an article in the next newsletter.
City Manager Hooper stated they are also struggling with them
over a franchise agreement. Their franchise agreement with us
has expired and they have been back and forth. Because they are
deregulated there isn't much we can do. The Public Service
commission doesn't control them and the state doesn't control
them, nothing local within cities or counties.
Councilwoman Rhodes spoke about the line at the Post Office. She
put in a complaint and she got from them a stack of complaint
forms.
Mayor Schmidt stated he was in line for about 15 minutes at the
Post Office and the people in line said it is the same way in New
Smyrna.
Councilwoman Lichter stated the Water Alliance Plan was accepted
on February 18th. She is happy that plan will be going into
effect.
Councilwoman Lichter stated she and George Ann Keller took a
three hour ride through the City and jotted down the streets that
need some attention for CleanScene Day. Bottom line is it is so
much cleaner than last year. They have fifteen to eighteen
streets that will be addressed on April 6th.
Councilwoman Lichter briefly mentioned enforcement of litter.
They will be getting bumper stickers with the police station
phone number so people will have another means of identifying and
calling in on litterers. The Chamber will provide those for us.

Volunteer Fire Association buildinq at 2616 Hibiscus Drive
City Manager Hooper made a staff presentation. Fire Chief Barlow
also made a staff presentation.
Councilwoman Lichter asked if we ever went to a full-time Fire
Department with no volunteers at all what would happen. Chief
Barlow stated we stand a chance to still have an association.
The members of the association are not all volunteers.
Councilman Brown asked if any other cities waive these fees and
if it is common practice. city Manager Hooper stated it is
common to some degree. This is more than what they would
normally see. This is everything there is that is a fee. His
normal stance would be no this isn't something you would do.
This is a very abnormal situation that you have access and
agreements to the building. It would be no different than
building an addition to city Hall. Other cities do waive and do
waive all fees depending on their Charter and bylaws.
Mayor Schmidt stated he has no problem with waiving the fees. He
asked about the Fire and Police impact fees but he is kind of
hesitant with regard to these fees. Chief Barlow stated they
would be happy with any type of assistance.
Councilwoman Rhodes agreed with Mayor Schmidt.
Councilwoman Rhodes moved for approval with waiving all the fees
except for Fire and Police impact fees, second by Councilwoman

Councilwoman Rhodes asked who asked for the changes. Katie
Gierok, Commander Gierok and Associates, explained they have just
come about during construction.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked why weren't most of these covered from
the get go. City Manager Hooper stated they should have been.
He spoke about the poor design of the swale done by McKim &
Creed.
Councilwoman Lichter asked how much more this might cost than
they think it is going to be. Ms. Gierok stated there will be a
change order for rock. All of the rock hasn't been addressed
because they are waiting to quantify it.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked why the storm drain wasn't put in for
traffic. city Manager Hooper elaborated. He commented on things
you really don't look at until you start construction. He wanted
to make it clear to Council that it still would have cost the
same amount. It isn't costing the City more. He further spoke
about why they aren't going after McKim & Creed.
There was a brief discussion regarding the money being paid by
FIND and it being included in the City's purchase price.
Councilman Brown moved for approval, second by Councilwoman
Rhodes. The motion CARRIED 5-0.

1) YMCA/Pool Uodate
This item was discussed earlier on the agenda.
CITIZEN COMMENTS/CORRESPONDENCE
George Ann Keller, 3039 Unity Tree Drive, expressed concern with
what is going on with the YMCA. She feels a stop work order is
needed and she thinks they should come up with the $56,000 before
they are allowed to go ahead. She feels there should be a very
short time limit for when they have to have the pool completed.
She feels they shouldn't have started the pool without making
sure they had the money. She feels the City has to be careful
and the citizens have to be protected.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to discuss, Councilwoman Rhodes
moved to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
