about speeding in Florida Shores;possibly putting in stop signs, and making certain intersections four way
stops; and asked Council for consensus to let staff look into putting in stop signs as a first step to deterring
speeding in Florida Shores.
After discussion, the Council concurred to have the City Manager work with staff on a stop sign plan for
Florida Shores, and to come back to the Council in July with a pros and cons report.
Councilman Blazi discussed the possibility of establishing alternates for boards so Council members are
better able to support each other, and to make sure Edgewater is represented when someone cannot make a
meeting; and he stated that he did have exparte communications with Roy Bishop concerning the wrecker
Towing Service amendment Consent agenda item.
Councilman Conroy reported that he is going to follow up with the Director of Development Services for
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) concerning funding of the SR 442 connector study. City
Manager Barlow stated that on May 20, 2015 at the Volusia County Council meeting, the Council agreed
not to send a recommendation forward in support of the connector, and discussed Councilman Conroy also
reaching out to the Council members who opposed the connector study.
Mayor Ignasiak reported attending:the Volusia County Roundtable, their discussions on the Homeless, and
the City of Daytona Beach taking the "convictions"portion of criminal violations off the City's employment
application; attended the Boston Whaler event with Governor Scott, and stated that there are over 600
families in the Edgewater area that are employed by Boston Whaler; at the City Manager's invitation he
went to DeBary and did a bike ride over to Gemini Springs to view their trails and parks set up, which he
related to what Edgewater is trying to accomplish at Whistle Stop park; and that he has also ridden on
sections of the new Rail to Trail in Edgewater, which is absolutely beautiful. He attended the Business
workshop, which only a small number of business representatives attended; and encouraged Council
members to provide their input for possible changes to the City Manager so he can consolidate them and
present his findings to the Council. He attended the Crystal Apple awards ceremony; the Memorial Day
service at Edgewater cemetery, and at the AMVETS, which were both well attended; and attended a
presentation at the Rotary Club given by Volusia County's Rail to Trail representative, discussing all of the

opportunities, and wanting to do something for their City, stepped forward and volunteered to donate

encouraged everyone to please go on-line and take the survey. City Manager Barlow stated the City
launched the survey late in the evening on Friday, June 5, 2015; that there are already 266 responses; the
survey will go on through June 30, 2105; and that it only accepts one(1)survey per IP(Internet Protocol)
address, so the results will not be skewed.
7. CONSENT AGENDA
Councilwoman Power requested to pull Agenda item 7.d.for discussion.
City of Edgewater Page 3 Printed on 7/2/2015
City Council Meeting Minutes June 1, 2015
d. AR-2015-863 Approval of Addendum #2 to the agreement between the City of Edgewater and
Edgewater Garage,Inc.
Councilwoman Power discussed Edgewater Garage Inc. being the sole business providing towing services
to the City; the history of the decision in 2011 to go with one towing service provider; other cities using a
rotational schedule for towing services; and that she would not be adverse to using a rotational towing
schedule, which she feels would perhaps provide better towing fees for residents.
The Council and staff discussed: how the current towing fees were established; the difference between
towing and impounding a vehicle; areas of consideration that were discussed by Council members during
the 2011 contract approval process; the bid and approval process; one of two, two (2) year extensions
already being approved;there being no known resident complaints;and the Council asked how towing fees
were originally set. City Manager Barlow replied that when the original request for qualifications(RFQ)
was broadcast in 2011, that three (3) companies were qualified; as part of the RFQ the City set maximum
towing fees that companies could not go over;companies had to submit their fees with their proposal; and
that in 2011 the Council went with Edgewater Towing, who is not allowed to exceed those established fees.
The Council discussed towing options used being dependent upon the situation; the pros and cons of
opening up the City's towing service to more than one company on a rotational basis; and there being no
issues with either company's towing services. The discussion during the award of the 2011 contract was
centered around the type of service the City would provide; there not being a standard, across the board
policy with municipalities on whether they have one single towing company, or have a rotational schedule;
the discussion in 2011 was on how the City of Edgewater wanted to do business, and that the Council
decided to go with one towing service provider; this being the last extension of the current contract;
continuing with the current service, or going out for bid again; individuals, dependent upon the
circumstance, having the option to go with a different towing company; and how the City chooses to
conduct business.
The Council and staff discussed the conundrum of having to decide between hiring one, of two local towing
companies that are both actively participating, and supporting Edgewater activities; preference being
given to Edgewater businesses when possible; the RFQ being very specific as to what a wrecker company
has to do to be qualified; and the RFQ then being brought to the Council for a decision. Also discussed
was evidence storage and the RFQ; Council looking at an extension of the current contract; if the Council
wants to go back out for bid, staff could have a proposal back in front of the Council by the August 2015
meeting; and that if Council does not approve the contract extension, they are creating the environment of
the City having to go out for bid.

Mayor Ignasiak opened the public hearing.
Glenn Storch, representative for Swallowtail LLC and the Miami Corporation stated that they have been
focusing like a laser on trying to create jobs, and development in Edgewater; that is what they are looking
at with this request; typically when you have a conservation designation, that is a no touch area; these
overlays are typically placed on areas that are owned by the City; in this particular case the property is
owned by Swallowtail; as they are looking at the property, these are areas that may be appropriate for
future permitting, and incorporation with, commercial plans; and he discussed scenarios that could be
considered for commercial development in the future. He also stated that he relayed to the County Council
that the Miami Corporation endorsed the SR 442 connector study, and that he was also surprised at the
County's decision.
Regarding this particular hearing, Mr Storch stated that the request for an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map was good for everybody; they will continue to work with the
agencies on any of these issues; they will bring them back to the Council as they continue to look at the site
plans; and that they are meeting with the Edgewater staff this week to continue looking at a lot of these
types of things.

11. OFFICER REPORTS
City of Edgewater Page 7 Printed on 712/2015
City Council Meeting Minutes June 1, 2015
a. City Clerk
City Clerk Wenzel requested Council members who cannot make an Advisory board meeting to contact her,
and she will find another Council person to attend in their place;stating that she will start by calling the
Alternate for that board, if there is one, and then by calling in District order starting with District 1. She
stated that she will be on vacation the 17th and 18th of June, 2015;and from 22 through 24 June she will be
at the annual City Clerk conference in Orlando, Florida.
b. City Attorney
City Attorney Wolfe stated that a former Edgewater police officer by the name of Timothy Huggins was
terminated;he then requested arbitration under the FOP(Fraternal Order of Police)agreement; and that
there is an arbitration set up for July 8 and 9, 2105.
c. City Manager
City Manager Barlow distributed the advertisement for the City's July 4th celebration event that the City
cosponsors with Fire Department Local 4575 (formerly known as the Fire Department Association); he
discussed the survey on Whistle Stop park and the results being tallied at the end of June;and that Leisure
Services has finished converting two(2)of the courts to Pickle Ball, which a news report gave as being one
of the fastest growing sports; and that there are 106 pickle ball courts in the Villages alone. The two (2)
unsafe pavilions;one (1)at Whistle Stop park and one (1)at Rotary park have been removed; the City has
an estimate for the replacement of two (2)shelters at Rotary park, along with picnic tables, etc., is about
$100,093.00,which is money the City does not have;and the issue will be furthered discussed at the capital
workshop on June 22, 2105.
The Volusia County property appraiser has released the pre preliminary numbers, and as the newspaper
always does, they report the "Just"value; Edgewater saw an increase in Just value up to 10.2%, which is
great for the market;but as it relates to struggling with balancing the budget, it really does not do anything
for the City;what the Council has to look at is the "Taxable"value;and that Edgewater's taxable value has
also increased 5.62%, which is good, and indicates that the City is moving in the right direction; and that
the full report is available on the Volusia County Property Appraiser website. There were only three (3)
communities last year that had annexations, and out of those, Edgewater was number two in "Just value".
Mr. Barlow discussed language staff developed concerning Chapter 12 of the Code of Ordinances, and
smoking locations. Their suggestion is to designate smoking in City parks as "parking areas only";and he
asked Council if they wanted staff to draft the language into Chapter 12 to bring to the Council for
consideration.
Council and staff discussed banning smoking from all City parks; having designated areas being easier to
enforce;just as habitual speeders are going to speed;smokers are going to smoke, no matter what;sending
a message to the community that smoking is not healthy; signage and ash disposal units in parking lots;
areas of garbage and keeping park areas clean; making the ordinance easier to enforce and government
overreach; maintenance personnel number one complaint is picking up cigarette butts, and just making it
illegal to smoke in City parks; not allowing smoking in your car if you are on City park property; and
bringing the topic back for discussion at the next
City of Edgewater Page 8 Printed on 7/2/2015
City Council Meeting Minutes June 1, 2015
Council meeting.
After discussion, the Council concurred to bring the topic back before the Council for discussion at the next
Council meeting.
Mr. Barlow discussed, the upcoming June 15, 2015 Police Pension Board meeting to discuss a restatement
of their whole pension plan; the pension plan restatement process; that 1999 was the last time there was a
restatement of the whole police pension plan; and ask if the Council wanted to direct the have the City
Attorney to attend the meeting to evaluate the process; the Council will probably need his assistance to give
recommendations on some of the changes that might be recommended.
After discussion, the Council concurred that it would be good to have the City Attorney attend the meeting.
He also stated that on June 22, 2015 at 4:30 is a Joint workshop between the Council; Economic
Development Board; and the Planning and Zoning Board, where attendees will hear a progress report
presentation from Retail Strategies;and at 6:00 p.m. that night will be a Council budget workshop.
He discussed the study to extend SR 442 out to SR 417;stated he would send Council members the portion
of the audio file from the Volusia Council meeting where it was discussed and indefinitely tabled; his
personal opinion is that the issue was misrepresented;that his impression in talking to Congressman Mica's
representatives is that the Transportation Express Authority Board just needed permission from Volusia
County Council to pick up the study and move on as it relates to Volusia County jurisdiction; and that
message was communicated at the County Council level,which invoked a lot of discussion about not having
enough money for the study.
Glenn Storch,representative for Swallowtail LLC and the Miami Corporation stated that there does seem to
be some discrepancies between what the County Council believes the money can be used for, such as only
for a toll road, or only for a direct connection between 195 and SR 417;and he feels their understanding of
the use of funds is incorrect.
The Council and staff discussed the different agencies and layers involved in conducting the study;
persevering, keeping up the pressure, and making things happen; and it behooving the City to push for the
study to be conducted. They also discussed the County allocating $3 million dollars to widen Park
Avenue, and the very positive comments from the County Manager and Council concerning Edgewater's
industrial center.
Ms. Wenzel stated that she had one (1) additional item to discuss before moving forward. She stated that
each year the resident information pamphlet that several departments pass out to residents is updated;the
pamphlet is provided to new water accounts, or new residents, etc.;distributed a copy to the Council; and
stated that copies are available at the City Clerk office.
The Council and staff discussed adding a comment indicating which board membership requires City
residence; keeping comments to a minimum to maintain brevity and size; costs prohibitions and
City of Edgewater Page 9 Printed on 712/2015
City Council Meeting Minutes June 1, 2015
making the pamphlet available to all new residents; having them available at events such as Edgefest and
the 4th ofJuly celebration;and the pamphlet being given to all new residents when they come in to open up
their water account; and that donating to the School Scholarship fund via the water bill was added to the
pamphlet.
Councilman Conroy asked Mr. Barlow about "Parks&Facilities"on Page 14, and Mango Tree Park being
deeded over to the City by Volusia County. Mr. Barlow replied, "yes"the County did deed it over to the
City; the uplands portion is currently being used by Environmental Services for storage;the City can pull
and mix some of the water if the City runs short on reclaimed water;former Mayor Mike Thomas's goal was
to eventually convert the area into a park; however due to funds and costs of design, that goal has not been
brought to fruition.
Councilman Conroy stated that it is a great opportunity to have a city park with fresh water fishing; and
that the City should be looking forward, and follow through with making it a park. Mr. Barlow stated that
he would add it to the June 22, 2015 workshop discussion topics;and discussed some of the goals that were
previously looked at for the park.
Councilman Blazi stated that he missed surfacing a citizen compliant during Council Reports, and
discussed an email from Ms. Lois Truxell complaint concerning her HOA (Home Owners Association), and
having wildflowers in her yard; the HOA telling her she must get rid of the wildflowers;she recently sent
a copy of a Florida Statute concerning local Florida friendly landscaping ordinances, etc.; her request is
for the City to take a look at the issue to see if her having wild flowers, and the Florida Statute supersedes
what her HOA wants her to do; and not invade an HOA's rights. Mr. Barlow replied that although he has
not had the chance to read the email, however Development Services Director Darren Lear did briefly go
over the issue with him; he recommends caution on complaints between an HOA and a citizen, it becomes
more of a civil matter; when a City starts to interject it does become problematic and could even open the
City up to becoming a witness in a litigation case, depending on how far the matter goes;and he requested
Council let him look into the issue.
12. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Chuck Martin, 205 Cherrywood Lane, discussed smoking and agreed that it should be banned from City
parks;the City is doing a great job at maintaining the medians;concurred with the idea of making a park by
the public works facility; and that Edgewater is growing at a good rate, he is looking forward to the Rail to
Trail opening; and that improvements in the City are coming along real good. He discussed the upcoming
one (1)year anniversary of his brother passing; his brother was an Edgewater employee who worked for
the City for 25 years;stated that his brother loved the City and his job, and was also a veteran; discussed
the plans for a new public works facility, and the City's plans for the old facility; and stated that he would
like to see the old facility named after his brother. He also concurred with the Council's decision to renew
the towing service agreement;and discussed the towing company's past performance.
