There was also a little talk about prayer before Council meetings . Councilwoman Power pointed out that half of the people attending the VCOG meeting had to leave for something obviously more important halfway through the meeting, which she thought was odd.

PUBLIC HEARINGS, ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS a. 1st Reading - Ordinance No. 2013-0-19: Amending Chapter 12 (Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions) , Article I (In General) by adding Section 12-7 (Sexual Offenders and Sexual Predators) Agenda Request City Attorney Wolfe read Ordinance 2013-0-19 into the record. City Manager Barlow made a staff presentation. He recommended they consider removing the area referencing bus stops as he had a good conversation with the Director of the School Board Transportation Division and they had a challenge just to adhere to the 1, 000 feet throughout the entire Volusia County for school bus stops as there were over 900 registered sexual offenders/sexual predators throughout the entire County. They were concerned if the City put together an ordinance that would prohibit 2, 500 feet it would be extremely challenging to locate bus stops through the City. City Manager Barlow informed Council the current ordinance included the bus stops . They could either have a motion with that amendment to remove those or they could give him direction to have that removed before the second reading of the ordinance. Vice Mayor Ignasiak questioned the County School Transportation System used the present boundary marker when they establish their bus stops and not necessarily nexus 's where the most amount of kids gather. City Manager Barlow informed him State Statutes prohibited having a bus stop within 1, 000 feet of a sexual predator. The 2, 500 feet would cripple their ability to locate any school bus stops throughout the City. There was further discussion regarding the school bus stop issue as it related to the distance a sexual predator/sexual offender can be from a park compared to a school bus stop. 6 Council Regular Meeting November 4, 2013 Vice Mayor Ignasiak received clarification from City Manager Barlow that this application would only apply to people attempting to move in as those already living inside the City would be grandfathered in. He asked how that would affect a school bus stop because they were still going to use what was there now. City Manager Barlow explained that school bus stops were relocated every year based on their census and where the school children live. City Manager Barlow informed Council they presently had 42 registered sexual predators/sexual offenders inside the City. Councilwoman Bennington was looking at the map and was having a problem visualizing this . With the 2, 500 feet it would take in a lot and do away with a lot of the City they couldn' t live in. City Manager Barlow informed her the map she was looking at only identified the parks . Councilwoman Bennington mentioned a sexual predator/sexual offender currently located on Virginia Street being inside the 1, 000 foot buffer from a park and questioned if they move out someone that wanted to move in there would have to go outside the 2, 500 foot buffer. City Manager Barlow confirmed she was correct. They can live within 1, 000 feet of a bus stop but not 2, 500 of a park or recreational open space. Councilwoman Power counted 9 within the 1, 000 foot and 16 within the 2, 500 feet. Councilman Emter could verify what City Manager Barlow said about planning and plotting those school bus stops . It is a tremendous task and this would decimate their possibility. Councilman Emter mentioned it seemed to him with the other communities who have already passed this, this would seem like a proactive kind of situation. If they didn't pass this or something very much like it they are going to go from those communities to ones which do not have restrictions . He didn't want to see Edgewater in that circumstance. Councilwoman Power confirmed the 1, 000 feet was per State Statutes and asked if they were allowed to go above and beyond the State. City Attorney Wolfe informed her they could because the City ordinance would not conflict with the State Statute. An offender could comply with their 2, 500 foot restriction and also be in compliance with the State Statute . Vice Mayor Ignasiak questioned how the other cities that had passed a similar ordinance handled the bus stops . City Manager Barlow didn' t know if they had included bus stops in their ordinance or not. 7 Council Regular Meeting November 4, 2013 Vice Mayor Ignasiak asked if they could do the exception tonight City Manager Barlow could research that before the next meeting and if necessary they could modify it on the second reading. City Manager Barlow informed him that was one way to do it or they could do a motion tonight to exclude the bus stops from the prohibition list. Councilwoman Bennington asked about the section regarding property owners being prohibited from renting. She questioned if they had a penalty for that. City Manager Barlow informed her that would come under the fee resolution, which would come before Council at their next meeting. Due to there being no further Council or public comment, Vice Mayor Ignasiak opened and closed the public hearing and entertained a motion. Councilwoman Gigi Bennington moved to approve Ordinance No. 2013-0-19, removing school bus stops from the list of prohibitions, second by Councilman Gene Emter. The MOTION CARRIED 4-0-0. Yes Councilwoman Christine Power, Councilwoman Gigi Bennington, Councilman Mike Ignasiak, Councilman Gene Emter No None Abstain None b. Resolution No. 2013-R-24 : A Resolution urging members of the Florida Legislature to oppose legislation that would mandate the use of a uniform chart of accounts for all governmental entities to report financial information Agenda Request '- City Attorney Wolfe read Resolution 2013-R-24 into the record. City Manager Barlow made a staff presentation. Councilman Emter couldn' t think of any reason that it shouldn't be opposed. An unfunded mandate was one of the nicest terms he felt could be applied to it. It had implications up and down the City structure and would be a fantastic reorganization. Councilwoman Power mentioned the man hours involved. Councilwoman Bennington felt it gave the State more control . City Manager Barlow felt it could be viewed as an assumption of some erosion of Home Rule. Councilwoman Power felt that multiplied their workload. 8 Council Regular Meeting November 4, 2013 City Manager Barlow informed Council they still had an auditor come in and do the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report that was transmitted to the State and they fell within time lines and their requirements on how the audit was done as well . Due to there being no further Council or public comment, Vice Mayor Ignasiak opened and closed the public hearing and entertained a motion.

Approval to issue purchase orders to Settled Solids and Shelley' s Environmental in the amount not to exceed $125, 500 and approval of the necessary budget amendments sak Agenda Request !r. City Manager Barlow made a staff presentation. Councilwoman Bennington asked what would happen if they didn't approve it. City Manager Barlow informed her the sand stays there and a portion of the reconstruction would be ineffective. The plant wouldn't operate as efficient as it should and eventually they would have to come back and take all of that out later which would be an additional cost to re-mobilize all of the equipment. Councilwoman Bennington confirmed City Manager Barlow had authorized the part they were working on and just in case they had to do the second side they were going to do that ahead of time . City Manager Barlow informed her if they didn't approve any of it they were still responsible but then they hold him accountable which could be a reason to terminate him. In his position he has to make some of those decisions that he feels are in the best interest of the community. Sometimes that is a gamble on his part and he recognized that. Councilwoman Power asked if it was a bi-product of the construction or was there already and they were just finding it. City Manager Barlow informed her it was a bi-product of the process, which Environmental Services Director Brenda Dewees provided more detail on by explaining it was part of the treatment process, specifically to remove sand. She further commented on there being more sand than they anticipated. Councilwoman Power asked Ms . Dewees why she thought there was a bump in the sediment. Ms . Dewees identified it was the nature of the beast. City Manager Barlow spoke of still having some clay pipes in the ground as it related to infiltration where the earth goes through the cracks with pipes they haven' t relined yet or been able to replace. with stormwater infiltration sand makes its way to the plant and that is where it settles . Councilwoman Power asked if it was something that was slowly increasing every other year as they go in to empty it out. Ms. Dewees identified part of the improvements they were making was an improved grit removal system that takes that grit out of the system before it 11 Council Regular Meeting November 4, 2013 gets into the basin, which should help the situation and just came online about two weeks ago. City Manager Barlow also pointed out as budgets allow, Ms . Dewees Department tries to camera the lines in some of the older parts of the City and if they find damaged pipe there is technology where they can slip-line the inside of the pipes to reduce the infiltration. City Manager Barlow identified they had 360 tons of material just on one side. There was a discussion regarding setting up a date for Council to tour the plant as they were 60% through the construction process . Councilwoman Power and Vice Mayor Ignasiak expressed an interest. He was going to have City Clerk Wenzel coordinate a date and they would advertise it. Due to there being no further comment, Vice Mayor Ignasiak entertained a motion.

He couldn't recommend retro but this would be effective on the date the Council approves it. 12 Council Regular Meeting November 4, 2013 Councilman Emter asked for clarification with regard to what the difference was between Item 10B & Item 100.

City Clerk City Clerk Wenzel passed out to Council the proposed 2014 meeting schedule for everyone to take a look at. If everyone was okay with the schedule she would move forward with it. She had provided it to the City Manager and Finance Director to make sure they were okay with the budget dates . There was a brief discussion regarding the dates that had no explanation next to them being the dates of the Regular Council meetings. If things were to pick up, the second meeting of each month would not be canceled. Council was good with the 2014 meeting schedule. City Clerk Wenzel informed Council on November 19th at 5: 30 p.m. in Council Chambers would be the Titusville to Edgewater Rail Trail Public Information Meeting. City Clerk Wenzel then informed Council this past Friday she attended the Florida League of Cities training session regarding the Sanford experience. Police Chief Arcieri and Captain Mahoney were also there . She felt it was very enlightening and very interesting. b. City Attorney City Attorney Wolfe had nothing at this time. c. City Manager City Manager Barlow referred to the 2013 Project Goals which identified the status of those. He planned to put the 2014 Project goals as an item on the December agenda. If Council had any suggestions he encouraged them to meet with him to get them on the list. City Manager Barlow spoke about reworking the CRA with an opportunity to petition the County Council once again to go in for delegation as well as extending the border down to SR 442 so they would have all of the U. S. 1 Corridor down to SR 442 included in the CRA. He estimated it would cost an additional $16, 200 to do the findings of necessity. He mentioned if the additional area was included that would benefit for some redevelopment dollars as well . 14 Council Regular Meeting November 4, 2013 If Council was okay he would tell them to move the boundary. City Manager Barlow informed Council they would probably redo the findings of necessity of the old district because it had been a while . Councilwoman Bennington expressed concern with biting off more than they could chew with their first CRA. City Manager Barlow, Finance Director McKinney and Janet Shira went to the Florida Redevelopment Association Conference. City Manager Barlow assured Council he was comfortable with it. Councilman Emter didn't see how they couldn't do it. He further mentioned leveraging the $16,200 in the first year by 100% . As the economy grows, to not include that section of U.S. 1 would be ridiculous . He wasn't sure if they were talking about the north side of SR 442 or the south side but he wanted to see it encompass the commercial area there as well . City Manager Barlow agreed as he was thinking the same thing and had run some numbers as well with regard to including the Winn Dixie plaza also. Councilwoman Bennington asked how far off U.S . 1 they were going to go. City Manager Barlow informed her they only do one parcel off of U.S. 1 . He felt they were ready for some redevelopment activity in the older area of U. S . 1 . Councilwoman Bennington suggested taking it south to Boston. City Manager Barlow didn' t know that there was enough there that was ready to be redeveloped. Councilwoman Bennington was looking for a landmark street to cut it off at rather than just chop it. City Manager Barlow wanted to talk to them and identified if he got permission to extend it they may do Boston or go clear to Riverside Drive . Councilwoman Power questioned if they were qualified to come up with where they draw the line. City Manager Barlow informed her if Council gave him direction the consultants would come over and evaluate. He asked Council if they were giving him the latitude to extend it to Riverside Drive. He further informed Council it would come back to them on a final district. Vice Mayor Ignasiak spoke of costs gong up later and if they were going to put the dime in now was the time to do it. City Manager Barlow was given consensus from Council to give him the latitude to take it to Falcon & U. S. 1 if a consultant felt a blight study would support that as a need. City Manager Barlow then referred to a letter from the Mayor of the City of Oak Hill regarding the Southeast Volusia County Corridor Improvement Coalition and further commented on what spearheaded the letter. He further identified they had a good meeting today. They had selected three top proposals . Thursday they would be scheduled to come in and make a presentation. He was going to work with the Mayor 15 Council Regular Meeting November 4, 2013 and respond to Oak Hill . He was hoping it would pacify their concerns addressed in the letter and that they would stay as a Coalition partner going forward. He felt it was important to continue to enhance their relationship with the cities of Oak Hill and New Smyrna. Councilwoman Power was interested in what the past dealings were with Edgewater that they had a problem with. City Manager Barlow also wanted to know more about that and see what they could do to repair some of those concerns and look forward. He spoke of recently entering into an agreement with Oak Hill where the Stormwater Superintendent goes down and does inspections . Also Animal Control as well. He thought everything was good and identified this had caught him off guard. City Manager Barlow identified the Coalition required three agencies that touched and if they fall out this whole grant may fall apart. Councilman Emter identified they had been talking about the Southeast Utility agreement also which ultimately would involve Oak Hill. He understood there was a meeting with the County. At the request of Councilman Emter, City Manager Barlow identified they were no further ahead than they were seven years ago when they started. He was going to propose and talk to the County of doing an interlocal service boundary agreement on a multitude of services that they could provide to the unincorporated area that Edgewater was closer to. New Smyrna had just affected one earlier this year. He thought he had a meeting with the County Manager next week and was going to talk to him. He felt it would be beneficial to the County and the City of Edgewater to consider one of those agreements as New Smyrna had done. Councilman Emter questioned modifying the Southeast Utilities Agreement. City Manager Barlow identified this could be in lieu of. They could wrap all of that in as part of that deal . He further identified that was part of the discussion they would have. City Manager Barlow spoke of a concern of the County that they would lose 80% of their utility customers as they would be in Edgewater' s area. They were concerned about losing them from a retail to a wholesale basis . City Manager Barlow felt it could be extremely advantageous, especially for the residents they serve, for the County and City to consider an interlocal service boundary agreement. There was then a discussion regarding the County Wastewater Treatment Plant only being at 30% capacity and the City currently having a wholesale agreement with the County. The City buys on a wholesale basis a minimum capacity which they hadn't exceeded and still had owned capacity in that plant. 16 Council Regular Meeting November 4, 2013 City Manager Barlow commented on other long term issues and concerns associated with the County' s Wastewater Plant such as only being able to discharge their effluent on the large orange grove that was adjacent to the plant. He spoke of this being problematic during the wet season and further identified the orange grove was also dying off. City Manager Barlow agreed to keep the Council posted. City Manager Barlow then informed Council they received a notice today from DOT that they had received a $500, 000 landscape grant for the U.S. #1 corridor for areas outside of what had already been done. The money would be available on July 1st. One location was from 10th Street to Lamont Street and the other area was from Boston Road to Volco Road. There was then a brief discussion regarding where reclaimed water was currently available in the medians on U.S. 1 . City Manager Barlow felt the beautification would make a difference on property values and the attraction of U.S. 1 coming into the City. City Manager Barlow informed Council the Christmas Parade was on December 14th. Mr. Corder through City Clerk Wenzel would work with them on dates and times of the locations the Council was supposed to be at. He also mentioned the Christmas Light Decorating Contest being coordinated by the Recreation/Cultural Services Board. 12. CITIZEN COMMENTS The following citizen spoke: Agnes Witter, 223 Flagler Avenue, wanted to know what happened to the City' s website. City Manager Barlow informed her it had been redeveloped by the City' s IT Department. Ms . Witter informed him she had some complaints about it not being user friendly. City Manager Barlow identified he would share that with the IT Department and further spoke of the website being a struggle . Councilwoman Power was in Chattanooga, Tennessee this weekend, which is a very progressive City and very friendly to the outdoors . She identified they only recycle cans and bottles . She was happy that Edgewater takes up to Number 6. Dave Kneiszler, 2319 Unity Tree Drive, commented on a City worker. He rides a scooter and his metal wallet fell out of his pocket and splattered all over the road. Within an hour and a half Randy Palmer had it back in his hands intact. In talking to him and his cohort, they had found three wallets that month plus he found trash on the road that causes problems with flat tires . He felt it was encouraging 17 Council Regular Meeting November 4, 2013 to hear a City worker being concerned about the citizens . City Manager Barlow felt that was a good example of all of the City workers . He gets compliments all the time. The employees make a difference in this community without a doubt. Councilman Emter asked if a letter could be sent recognizing Randy for his exceptional performance. City Manager Barlow agreed to have the Personnel Director do that. 13.
