CALL TO ORDER, ROLL CALL, PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, INVOCATION Mayor Thomas called the Workshop to order at 11 : 00 a.m. in the Council Chambers. There was a silent invocation and pledge of allegiance to the Flag. Present Mayor Michael Thomas Councilwoman Christine Power Councilwoman Gigi Bennington Councilman Michael Ignasiak Councilman Gene Emter City Manager Tracey Barlow City Clerk Bonnie Wenzel Excused City Attorney Aaron Wolfe 2. DISCUSSION OF PROJECT GOALS City Manager Barlow made a staff presentation by commenting on the backup information they were going to talk about with regard to the considered project goals for 2013, completion of the 2012 project goals, the draft CEDS goals, the draft mobility transportation needs resolution and carry over goals and finalizing what Council wanted him to bring back as a final document for the 2013 project goals . City Manager Barlow commented on the list of 2012 goals that identified the goals that had been completed as well as the goals to be carried over which would be considered further by the Council, the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy with regard to strategic goals and objections and the action plan for implementation in 2013, and the Draft City of Edgewater Mobility Transportation Needs for 2013. There was a discussion about previous discussions that had occurred with regard to extending SR 442 from the I-95 intersection to SR 415. Councilman Emter commented on the need for an evacuation route due to there being no way out of Edgewater from SR 44 to Titusville. Councilwoman Power questioned Restoration having an impact on this and if they had any say. City Manager Barlow identified it would further 1 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 substantiate the need. He commented on getting this on the long range plan with the Transportation Planning Organization. Councilwoman Bennington mentioned there being no funds available. City Manager Barlow pointed out the TPO was currently working on the 2040 long range transportation plan. He commented on there being many seeds the Council plants going into the future that they may not be around to reap the benefits from and the need to think about transportation long term. Councilman Emter further commented on the importance of getting this project on the TPO' s long range plan. Councilman Ignasiak didn't think this was realistically feasible financially and there was no harm to putting it on the TPO' s long range plan. City Manager Barlow asked Council to keep in mind the development of Restoration as well as the Farmton property going west. Councilman Emter commented on the conservation issue and becoming increasingly more aware of the need to compensate for that. Mayor Thomas stated they would have to build a bridge over the Spruce Creek Swamp. Councilwoman Bennington pointed out in her experience you never say never. Situations change and this could be a top priority all of a sudden. It was the consensus of Council to leave this on the list of Mobility Transportation Needs for 2013. City Manager Barlow was going to include a statement that said these did not represent a prioritization so they could be matched with the right grant when they become available. City Manager Barlow then commented on the extension of Air Park Road from Park Avenue to 10th Street. This was to align and alleviate traffic into the school area. They had good discussions at the Committee meeting on the 24th where they identified that maybe that was too direct and that there may be other means to meet the same objective without extending Air Park Road. City Manager Barlow commented on the traffic situation that is occurring on Tatum Boulevard in the morning and afternoon when the Middle School and High School are letting out due to the number of people utilizing this route. Councilman Ignasiak liked the idea of looking at enhancements on other existing roads . He further commented on looking at existing roads, i .e. Mission Road, which he felt was the best option as it would keep 2 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 the traffic and kids out of the neighborhoods and keep the neighbors happy. City Manager Barlow further commented on a lot of this being out of the City' s jurisdiction. If the objective was to enhance or create a direct route, they would sit down with the County and start doing the feasibility study to determine the practicality of that occurring. Councilman Emter felt they should also establish examples of the possibilities and alternatives that exist to meet that objective. City Manager Barlow then commented on the inclusion of sidewalks on Air Park Road, which was also based on whatever route was chosen. He also spoke of wanting to increase the opportunities that pedestrians could walk or ride bicycles through that same area. City Manager Barlow then provided an update on the completion of sidewalks on South Ridgewood Avenue to Volco Road. They have been guaranteed funding in the amount of $1 . 1 million from FDOT which would be available in July and cover the entire cost of the project. After completion they would have sidewalks on both sides of U.S . 1 down to SR 442 and south of SR 442 they would be on the east side of U. S . 1 down to Volco Road. Councilman Emter questioned what was going on on U. S . #1 by ValuVet. City Manager Barlow thought it was either the access management FDOT was doing as it related to closing some of the medians and improving some of the turn areas or the State which was enhancing some of the drainage on U.S. #1, which started down towards Oak Hill and they were working their way north. City Manager Barlow further commented on realigning Air Park Road into Tatum Boulevard. He spoke of people that go right or left on Massey Road and either use Tatum Boulevard or Edgewater Canal Road and race to see who can get to where Edgewater Canal Road runs into Tatum Boulevard first. City Manager Barlow then presented an update on the extension of sidewalks on SR 442 from Air Park Road west to I-95 to intersect with the Rails to Trails. City Manager Barlow commented on the completion of the trail on the Rails to Trails program from I-95 to West Park Avenue and identified the route, which was to start in the Spring of 2013 and would be completed in the Spring of 2014 . City Manager Barlow then commented on the widening of Park Avenue from ParkTowne Industrial Center to Old Mission Road. 3 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 City Manager Barlow answered questions presented by Councilman Ignasiak with regard to the widening and there being a relative need as well as an anticipated need as it related to safety and attracting industry to ParkTowne as well as the airport area. Mention was also made that Park Avenue was a County Road from Mission Road to U.S. #1 . City Manager Barlow then commented on the extension of Park Avenue west to North Cow Creek Road, a traffic signal at Air Park Road and West Park Avenue and a traffic signal at South Ridgewood Avenue and Turgot Avenue. Councilman Ignasiak commented on the need for a traffic light at South Ridgewood Avenue and Turgot Avenue as this is the main nexus into our recreational area. He further spoke of discussions they had with DOT. He mentioned creating an extra load lane southbound on U.S. #1 to allow traffic to flow out of the Turgot Avenue area into U. S . #1 . City Manager Barlow identified they could do a feasibility study and determine the cost on that. He also spoke of adding additional language that would enhance safety at that intersection. There was further discussion regarding the access management and whether FDOT was doing anything at that intersection. City Manager Barlow then spoke of removing Item #11 with regard to a Transportation Conceptual Thoroughfare Plan. Councilman Ignasiak questioned this being an alternative plan to Williamson Boulevard. City Manager Barlow identified it was an alternative plan to U. S . #1 . He felt Williamson Boulevard would fulfill some of the relief the other thoroughfare plan was attempting to do. There was then a discussion with regard to a bridge extending from the City of Edgewater east to the barrier islands at SR 442 which would land at about Hiles Boulevard off of Atlantic Avenue. It was the consensus of Council to remove this item as it was not realistic. City Manager Barlow then commented on extending Park Avenue to the Restoration Development. City Manager Barlow further commented on prioritization of the Bicycle/Pedestrian Facility Master Plan. He also informed Council the City had recently received CDBG dollars for sidewalks in the area of Edgewater Elementary School and Turgot Avenue, which would also facilitate some pedestrian movement around the YMCA. There was further discussion regarding a sidewalk on Flagler Avenue. City Manager Barlow informed Council he would prepare this and it would be on the March agenda in a resolution to adopt. 4 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 There was then a discussion regarding the City having projects on the TPO's list that weren't up for funding. Councilman Emter spoke of the State having left over funds from other projects and they came to the TPO asking if they had any ready to go projects and the U. S. #1 construction project and right-of-way certification and design was one that was ready. City Manager Barlow further spoke of this substantiating the need for planning and being ready when an opportunity comes along. City Manager Barlow suggested at this time they take 20 minutes and grab something to eat since the food had arrived. As they ate they could have some additional general conversation about what they had already covered. City Manager Barlow referred to the 2012 Carry Over Goals, the Draft 2013 Project Goals and some additional items that he had received from Councilman Emter after the packet went out that Council could discuss and consider. City Manager Barlow then presented the Draft 2013 Project Goals by first commenting on "Identify locations and plan for future addition/improvement of pedestrian/bicycle systems in the community" . He felt within a month or two this item would come off. It was the consensus of the Council to leave this item on the list and remove it once it was completed. City Manager Barlow then commented on "Establish CRA Districts" by providing Council with an update as it related to what they had already done to establish a CRA District and discussions that were occurring at the County Council level. He felt they were some time out before they got a clear understanding from the County Council. He felt this needed to stay on the goal list and that they had a lot of work ahead of them. City Manager Barlow then commented on "Establish Long-Range Facility Plan for Environmental Services" as it related to relocating the Public Works facility and expanding the Wastewater Plant at its current location. He was hoping Council would see a report from the consultant before the end of the year. There was further discussion regarding the information the RFQ and the consultant would provide for the Council as it related to growth, staff, spacial needs for buildings and environmental needs . There was also discussion about work being done in-house as opposed to hiring a consultant. City Manager Barlow compared hiring a full time employee to hiring a one-time consultant. He also mentioned reducing 5 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 the number of employees through attrition to what they had in 2002, leaving day to day operations and reacting to what broke yesterday being where they were at going forward. Councilman Ignasiak questioned the location of the facility being away from residential neighborhoods as this was the only area he could see resistance at. He felt a new facility was needed. City Manager Barlow felt that was where the balance was as that facility provides services to those residents . The most efficient is to reduce the drive time to and from the area you are delivering the services . Mayor Thomas then asked about Restoration giving the City property. City Manager Barlow informed him they had property in Restoration allocated for that as well and identified the consultant would look at that. He spoke of also having the opportunity in Restoration to have a second Wastewater Treatment Plant or to enhance the infrastructure and just expand their existing Wastewater Treatment Plant. There was a brief discussion regarding there being pros and cons with either option. Mayor Thomas commented on receiving complaints about the smell from the Wastewater Treatment Plant. City Manager Barlow identified some of the rebuild of the plant and some of the new processes would help eliminate some of that. City Manager Barlow spoke of being successful planning deep into the future. He thought they had $500, 000 or better set aside and now was the time to secure these properties before they are bought up and developed and they don't have properties to expand and/or the properties are at the bottom of the market right now and starting to climb. City Manager Barlow continued his presentation by commenting on "Complete Design and Implementation Plan for Mango Lake Park" . Mayor Thomas commented on this being a passion of his since he was elected. He spoke about why he felt this was a good location and what his visions were of this property. He asked Leisure Services Director Jack Corder if it was still feasible, which he identified it was and further identified that Public Works was currently using it for storage. City Manager Barlow pointed out the new Public Works facility would be big enough that they could evacuate what they store there and put it at the new facility. Mr. Corder further commented on the concern of the depth of the water in the lake. Councilwoman Bennington asked about the City' s liability due to the lake being all dark, which Mr. Corder addressed. 6 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 City Manager Barlow pointed out they had just extended the ECHO grant time line because they didn't have enough worthwhile projects and asked Mr. Corder if this was something they could get ECHO to help them fund some preliminary engineering on. Mr. Corder informed him not unless they changed their format. Councilman Ignasiak wanted to see Mr. Corder take that park as far as he could go. We are a bedroom community and will be in the future. He further commented on expanding opportunities for families and children as it related to parks and recreation and identified the different family events the City does every year. Mr. Corder then commented on the land across the street from Mango Tree Lake being a possibility and expanding the overall facility. Councilwoman Bennington spoke about the property at the corner of 12th and Mango. City Manager Barlow thought that property was owned by the School Board and wasn't aware the City ever owned it. Councilwoman Bennington pointed out they traded it when she was on Council way back. City Manager Barlow spoke of being limited with what they can do with that property. There was then a brief discussion regarding the lake being man-made and the materials that were used. City Manager Barlow commented on doing a fitness trail around the lake, which has a circumference of one mile and being able to add some playground/children area. He felt it was a gorgeous site and an underutilized resource . He also mentioned concerns because of the connectivity with the reclaimed system. City Manager Barlow then commented on "Complete Agreement for Southern Service Area", "Complete Formatted Master Utility Infrastructure Location Map", and "Develop a Master Future Parks Plan & Standards" . Councilwoman Bennington commented on Code Enforcement having a lot of problems with basketball hoops in the City right-of-way. She suggested having basketball courts so the children aren' t playing in the street. City Manager Barlow commented on identifying where the parks are and planning sidewalks to get people to the parks . He further spoke of continuing to stay compliant with the Comp Plan Element. Mayor Thomas mentioned Restoration having parks planned within the development. City Manager Barlow commented on one of the number one complaints about Coral Trace being the fact that they have no area for children to play. He spoke of negotiations going on within the Coral Trace Homeowners Association to create a park area within the subdivision. 7 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 Councilwoman Bennington spoke of trying to fix things that should have been done way back. She mentioned putting basketball courts on the property on Hibiscus Drive that the City owns . City Manager Barlow spoke of relocating the skateboard park to this property and if there was enough room they could include a basketball court. He also identified there were basketball courts at Whistle Stop Park already but the problem being the proximity with where most of those kids can get to it conveniently. City Manager Barlow spoke of being more specific when they are negotiating with the developers exactly what types of parks they are going to require them to put in their neighborhoods for more of the outdoor activities . He felt they needed to put more effort into focusing on their master future parks plan. He also commented on creating regional parks . Councilman Emter questioned how far along they were with developing a master future parks plan. City Manager Barlow informed him they had it on the goal list and had identified level of service standards . Definitions of what those parks are was the next step. Councilman Emter asked Mr. Corder how long it would take to develop a master future parks plan. Mr. Corder 1 : 29:25. City Manager Barlow then commented on "Design and Implement Fitness Circuit into Riverside Trail" . Councilman Ignasiak felt they were missing a great opportunity with Riverside because it draws more people down here because of the scenery. He knew they had limited space but felt they needed to explore the possibility of using that limited space, including Menard Park. City Manager Barlow agreed to go back to the drawing board. Councilwoman Power spoke in favor of having a fitness trail at Mango Tree park. Confirm with Tracey 1 : 32 : 56 City Manager Barlow then commented on "Promote Scholarship Fund to Increase Participation" . He felt they needed to put a lot more effort into it. There was a brief discussion regarding how much money they had raised up to this point and the number of people that had a recurring payment on their bill . Councilman Ignasiak wanted to see this succeed. City Manager Barlow spoke of the Princess Ball being a fundraiser to raise money for the scholarships . He was going to work with staff to 8 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 take a more active role in putting something together with regard to marketing. City Manager Barlow then commented on "Complete Ridgewood Avenue Median Landscape for Access Management Improvement Area", and "Complete Cityline Park Improvements" . There was a discussion regarding a contest where the elementary school kids within the Edgewater community could suggest names for the Cityline Park. City Manager Barlow asked that Discovery Days and Montessori be included in the contest. He also mentioned having the conceptual design done that would go out once they had a time line. City Manager Barlow then commented on "Complete Hawks Park Improvements" as it related to restrooms and pathway lighting. City Manager Barlow then commented on "Update Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan", "Paving of Canal Road", and "Implementation of Electronic Permit Submittal and Management" . There was a brief discussion regarding the implementation of electronic permit submittal being possible in the 2013 calendar year. City Manager Barlow identified it may take 18 to 24 months for many of the projects, which would then carry over each year. City Manager Barlow then commented on "Implementation of Electronic Personnel Records Management System" . Councilwoman Bennington commented on the Personnel Department needing help and being inundated. City Manager Barlow agreed they needed additional staff but also felt electronic personnel records management would help bring efficiency to the department as well . City Manager Barlow then commented on "Acquire Rear Easements on Ridgewood Avenue for Utility Structures" . He spoke of New Smyrna moving their power lines to the rear easements of their businesses . He wanted to work on some language with Council ' s recommendation that would address power lines, buried or overhead, in rear easements . FPL was not favorable of this initiative because over time it becomes difficult for them to maintain their infrastructure. He then mentioned grants that are available to bury power lines, which is very expensive. City Manager Barlow then commented on "Consider Ordinance for Identified Commercial Areas to Require New Construction Install Underground Utilities" in an effort to remove electric poles and lines along U.S. #1 . 9 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 Councilman Emter suggested City Manager Barlow not be so specific but meet the objective to reduce. Councilman Ignasiak questioned this having an impact on someone buying a building and completely wanting to renovate it with regard to having to move the utilities underground in the back now. City Manager Barlow recommended if they do the ordinance that would require any new construction or renovation that they use the criteria if a building was greater than 50% destroyed or renovated it would have to be brought up to current Code. They would have to bring the power feed up as well . There was a brief discussion regarding the cost for construction of an underground power feed. Councilman Ignasiak expressed concern with creating unforeseen circumstances where they are going to stop new business from coming in or renovations from taking place because they would be required to invest more money. City Manager Barlow spoke of there being a return on the investment and the time to do it being while the building is being retrofitted. Councilman Ignasiak was concerned with it being cost prohibitive and driving business away. City Manager Barlow informed him he was sensitive to that as well. There was a brief discussion regarding buildings in New Smyrna and Edgewater that have been renovated by more than 50% . City Manager Barlow then commented on "Create and Implement Plan for City Council to Enhance Opportunities to Meet with Neighborhood/Homeowner Associations" and "Evaluate Need for Annexation of Enclaves and Adjacent Properties" . City Manager Barlow identified on Council ' s agenda tonight was a Comprehensive Plan amendment for Restoration that if it passes would allow them to transmit to the State to remove the annexation prohibition that was in their regular Comprehensive Plan amendment for Restoration. He further commented on doing forced annexations and voluntary annexations and this being looked upon and encouraged by the State if it is a true enclave. He didn't recommend it unless they could bring a cost savings benefit to them. Councilman Ignasiak expressed concern with forcing people to annex into the City that don't want to be in the City. Mayor Thomas asked City Manager Barlow to remind him of the agreement they made with the State regarding Restoration about annexing. City Manager Barlow explained when they did the Comprehensive Plan amendment before DCA got dismantled and Tom Pelham was the Secretary of DCA, he threw in a provision that prohibited them from annexing any properties with a residential designation until the next EAR based amendment which was to occur in 2017 . Pelham is no longer in office, DCA is no longer in existence and the requirement for the EAR based 10 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 amendments was no longer a mandate but a recommendation. He further identified on tonight' s agenda Council was going to consider an agenda item that would do a Comprehensive Plan amendment that would strike those prohibitions and remove it from the Comprehensive Plan. If Council approved it, it would be submitted to the State who would consider the removal of that language and communicate back and then they would be able to annex. Councilwoman Bennington felt they should be identifying the need to annex enclaves and adjacent properties instead of evaluating the need as they already know the need is there. City Manager Barlow identified for Council the annexations would be on a case by case basis. City Manager Barlow then commented on "Update Transportation Goals and Apply for Associated Transportation Grants" . Councilman Emter then commented on the list of additional goals he had provided with regard to communication, social media, annual and semi- annual reports, and administration. Councilman Ignasiak didn't feel there was a problem with communication and felt the absence of people at Council meetings meant that was an agreement that they were okay with what was going on. When things go wrong was when people show up at the meetings . He further commented on receiving more complaints from individuals than groups . He also spoke about attending some of the Homeowners Association meetings . He liked the one to one contact as people would stop him in the store, the doughnut shop and on his bicycle and didn't feels there was a communication problem. Councilman Ignasiak then commented on being able to maintain the budget because they had tightened up on everything. He spoke of having people doing more than one function and one position and that was why it was working. He didn't think, given their fiscal position, that it was time to start looking at expanding staff. Mayor Thomas agreed with Councilman Ignasiak and identified he was readily available to go to any of the Homeowners Association meetings and that residents can call him or send him an e-mail . He felt if people wanted to get involved they would get involved and come to the Council meetings . He also felt people didn' t want to see the reports and that they wanted to see the improvements. He had no problem with giving City Manager Barlow an assistant. Councilwoman Bennington identified why she agreed with Mayor Thomas and Councilman Ignasiak. She addressed concern with no longer receiving the newsletter with the utility bills and only being 11 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 provided with a link to it. City Manager Barlow identified that was something he could reevaluate. City Manager Barlow spoke of the need to have continuity and the benefit of having an Assistant to the City Manager. Councilwoman Power commented on receiving the newsletter and identified she would rather receive reports as things are going on instead of semi-annually. City Manager Barlow identified they had an Economic Development Coordinator that does a weekly report to bring them up to speed on what is happening currently and Tyna in the Public Works Department who does the monthly newsletter, which is sent quarterly with the utility bill and monthly online. City Manager Barlow spoke of reducing staff so much through attrition and Tyna having a hard time getting enough information to put into the newsletter. Councilman Emter identified he was under the impression that this meeting was to look at things they might want to see at some point in the future. Every one of the items they have already approved involve money. The question only comes what do they want to do in the future when money becomes available. He felt the Assistant to the City Manager position was valuable, good for the City in terms of efficiency and a goal that should be evaluated at the time when it could be implemented. Councilman Ignasiak and Mayor Thomas identified they would support that. Councilman Emter then commented on developing a program in terms of beautification with regard to U.S. #1 and Park Avenue. Mayor Thomas pointed out the State had an Adopt-A-Road program. Councilwoman Bennington suggested this be added to the list of goals . City Manager Barlow identified he added establishing an adopt a road program to the list. He also mentioned doing an internal program too. City Manager Barlow then commented on the mention made by Councilman Emter of the interest of the Rotary who may be the ones who step up and help lead that program. There was a discussion regarding the liability aspect and concerns with regard to the property owner being liable if a volunteer was injured on their property and the potential for resistance from businesses that would be offered the opportunity. Councilman Emter then commented on wanting to see more focus on industrial/commercial development. City Manager Barlow identified the 12 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 focus as being on Team Volusia. They could consider joining Team Volusia or having a separate work session. Mayor Thomas spoke in opposition to joining Team Volusia. He felt the City should go out and get something for Edgewater and not depend on Team Volusia. City Manager Barlow spoke of the median modifications, the park they were doing, and trying to get the CRA to redevelop the U.S. #1 corridor and this being the direction they were headed. He further identified the only agency in the entire County that was marketing the commercial industry to come to a community was Team Volusia, which was a new organization. There was further discussion regarding Team Volusia. Councilman Emter identified that Team Volusia was not part of the suggestion but he felt they were certainly a conversation piece and dedicated to the project. City Manager Barlow felt marketing the City' s strategic plan to Team Volusia would be a benefit. Councilman Emter had no issue with Team Volusia one way or another and felt if a meeting was to be held they should be invited. Councilwoman Power referred to an article that was in the newspaper with regard to a company Team Volusia brought to Deland. City Manager Barlow didn't know how the company was recruited. Councilman Ignasiak spoke in opposition of Team Volusia. Councilman Emter then commented on upcoming development and referred to Restoration and Deering Park. Councilwoman Bennington wanted to see a sheet that identified the process and the steps someone had to follow to start a new business, to include building a building or renovating a building. She further commented on a volunteer walking people through the process . Councilman Emter identified he had a constituent come to him with that very complaint. Mayor Thomas spoke of being friendly with the permitting process and the steps the City was making toward that. Councilman Emter felt it was a great start and he wanted to see it expanded. He loved the idea of an ombudsman, which he would be in total support of. City Manager Barlow identified the Building Official was retiring, which gave them an opportunity to reevaluate the process . He spoke of the renovation to the Building Department and everything being consolidated to one door. He and Mr. Lear were going to continue to 13 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 reevaluate how they can enhance the customer service there. He also spoke of identifying the loop holes and where the ombudsman concept might help. He spoke of looking at a concept down the road to possibly bring on a full-time engineer verses contract service. City Manager Barlow identified the objective was to see what they could do to make it a more efficient and streamlined process . The electronic permitting process would be the next one to streamline the process to make it convenient. Councilwoman Bennington wanted to put on the goal list cleaning up Veterans Park. She felt they needed to do something with the plaque that had the names on it. City Manager Barlow identified there was a board that was constructed by someone else and never maintained by the organization there that probably could come down. Councilwoman Power identified there was another one at Sanchez Park at the north end of Riverside Drive. City Manager Barlow informed her they would look at that one too. He felt if they had Council ' s permission they would serve Veterans Park better if they took the one board down. Mr. Corder spoke about the names being placed on them and that he was replacing them every four or five years . City Manager Barlow identified if Council was okay with it they could take that one down and donate it to one of the fraternal organizations . He was hearing from Council to take that one down. City Manager Barlow asked what the other two plaques were which Mr. Corder identified. City Manager Barlow thought they had a park that recognized they had one standard monument at Veterans Park that they relocated from City Hall that acknowledges and if Council was comfortable with that he thought they could clear Mr. Corder to remove those until funds were available. Councilman Ignasiak advised he would bring it to the attention of the American Legion. City Manager Barlow informed him that was what they would do. Councilwoman Power commented on having a more permanent sign. City Manager Barlow pointed out the one monument relocated from City Hall to Veterans Park referenced the Veterans . City Manager Barlow suggested they take the other one down as the program no longer existed. Mayor Thomas identified there were several goals that they completed. He was proud of their development into the community friendly police force. City Manager Barlow agreed to have the modified goals by March to be placed on a Council agenda to ratify. 14 Council Workshop February 4, 2013 3.
