4. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Bill Lachenal, 3022 Victory Palm Drive, discussed: wild animals, and neighbors feeding them; being
informed by animal control that residents are not allowed to trap and release animals elsewhere;
raccoons sometimes coming at residents; and asked what his legal options are. City Manager
Barlow replied: to continue to work with Code Enforcement and Animal Control; the first line of
defense is to report neighbors who feed them; to hire a private trapper to trap the animals; you need
a license to even transport wild animals; that the City no longer has a land owner that will allow
them to release wild animals on their property, so the City cannot get a permit if they have nowhere
to release animals; and suggested he work with Animal Control supervisor, Captain Jeff Lariscy.
Chuck Martin, 205 Cherry Wood Lane, discussed: ditches and sides of roads in Edgewater looking
good, and that it really looks good in front of the cemetery on Ridgewood Avenue; the Oakland
cemetery, Lake Butler in Union County, cemeteries, and inmates maintaining cemeteries in other
areas; the City possibly looking into using inmates, or community service hours to clean up the
Oakland cemetery; thanked Councilman Conroy for volunteering to sit in the dunk tank to benefit the
Second Harvest Food Bank; and thanked the Council and City Manager for all they do for the City;
and discussed some of the recent amenity improvements in Edgewater.
The Council and staff discussed: the Edgewater Police Department, community service hours, and
having to work through the private organization, or the private land owner; using inmates for
performing cemetery clean up; a recent newspaper article on the 75 cemeteries in Volusia County
that have been abandoned and/or in disrepair, and the Volusia County Manager planning to use
inmates to clean them up; maybe having a scout take on Oakland cemetery clean up as an Eagle
Scout project; how involved the clean up of cemeteries actually is; and restoring a historic cemetery
is done at a very slow and methodical pace, because it is akin to an archaeological dig.

6. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilwoman Power-None at this time.

participate in the "Beer Olympics", a Wounded Warriors fund raiser, sponsored by the Rotary Club.
Councilman Conroy reported.- working on the City garbage truck, and having a plan to eradicate all
crime, put violators on the back of a garbage truck to do their community service, and they will never
commit another crime for the rest of their life; he went out with the City's refuse crew, and did two
streets, and he was done; and he commended the great, hard-working people in the refuse
department. He went to the waste water treatment plant and received an amazing and informational
explanation of the water treatment process, and the technology used to treat the water; he
encouraged the other Council members to do the same; he stopped by and met with the City's
engineer, Randy Coslow, who is a very busy guy, and Mr. Coslow walked him through some projects
that he is working on; he thanked the crew at the barn for providing him with a water cooler cup so
he could stay hydrated; and went to the animal shelter, where he saw some really cute little dogs,
which do not last very long because the elderly people tend to adopt the little dogs.
Mayor Ignasiak reported.- to piggyback on Councilman Conroy's report, the City of Edgewater has
one of the best garbage pick-up services in the County, bar none; attended the Battle of the Badges,
which was a Wounded Warrior fund raiser event this year, it was a good barbecue, and a true family
event; and that he did not participate in the Beer Olympics either, due to not being able to assemble a
team in time.

City Manager Barlow made a staff presentation, and discussed: a summary of Edgewater events that
he distributed to Council at their last meeting, which is a list of known planned events for the new
fiscal year; since special events fall under the Finance Director John McKinney's umbrella, he will
have the finance director walk Council through each event, and their associated costs; Council does
not have to make any decisions tonight, just think about some of the costs associated with the events;
and that going forward, he and staff will need Council direction on making the part-time events
coordinator position more of a full-time job, to coordinate events that will occur after March 2016
Mr. McKinney gave a staff presentation, and discussed: events the City held last year; the purpose of
holding City events; encouraging the one-stop shop philosophy to coordinate and conduct events;
who promotes City events; types of marketing the City uses, such as social media, banners, and
billboards; costs of running events and bringing in over $24,000 in sponsorships to offset costs;
number of events planned, and added events; City sponsored, and City co-sponsored events; running
events, the costs factors of using the part-time event coordinator, and overtime; adding events
making it harder to fund, but staff still getting it done; the importance of establishing agreements
with co-sponsors; coordination of promotional material; coordination of event themes; making sure
events fit the community purpose; and the number of events increasing from 8 events in six months,
up to 15 events.
Council and staff discussed. whether or not Ms. Bubenheim wants to work finance or event planning;
estimated out of pocket City expenses; event sponsorship, and renting out City facilities to private
entities; events starting out as a co-sponsorship event, then evolving into a City event that has a cost
to conduct; making sure private events are not interpreted to be City events; whether the event
coordinator position would be a hourly or salaried position; the efficiencies of having a full-time
event coordinator on staff; costs associated with adding events, family events being what makes the
City of Edgewater, and events bringing the community together as a family; needing a full-time focal
point that is not trying to do three (3) different jobs; whether or not the City is at the point where they
need a full-time event coordinator, the mid-year budget review, and needing sponsorship funds for

need for a full-time event coordinator; the private sector offsetting the costs of the City hosting
co-sponsored events; benefits to the City of conducting events.

draft co-sponsorship agreement for Council review.
b. AR-2015-123 Discussion regarding Employee Service Recognition Policy
1
City Manager Barlow made a staff presentation.
Councilwoman Bennington discussed: the time allowed for employees to attend a retirement party,
and what happens if no one shows up; liking the changes made to the draft policy; and not being sure
why the City needs to have the policy, since the police and fire rescue departments already have
policies.
Councilman Blazi stated he liked the changes made to the draft policy; and discussed the policy
providing equity and consistent recognition for all employees.
Councilman Conroy stated he liked the option that if the employee decides not to have a retirement
recognition party, the City can opt in lieu of that, to make a donation to their favorite charity.
A motion was made by Councilman Conroy, second by Councilman Blazi, to approve
the Employee Service Recognition Policy. The MOTION was APPROVED by the
following vote:
Yes: 5- Mayor Ignasiak,Councilwoman Power,Councilwoman Bennington,Councilman

C. AR-2015-124 Kennedy Park Handicap Parking
0
City Manager Barlow made a staff presentation, and discussed: evaluating the parking spaces at
Kennedy Park; the map handouts provided to Council; total number of regular parking spaces; total
number of handicap parking spaces; the costs to convert all the regular parking spaces to handicap
spaces would be approximately $663.00; and upon his last evaluation, the handicap parking spots
are usually empty, and the regular parking spots are overflowing, with people parking in the trailer
only parking spots because the regular parking spots are all full. While Mr. Corder was at the park
measuring the parking spaces, some people approached him, and voiced their displeasure with the
idea; there are only so many spots for the non-handicapped at the park; and that staff stands ready to
do whatever the Council decides.
Councilman Conroy stated: people who are not handicapped can walk to the park; he appreciated
the City Managers due diligence on adding additional handicap parking spaces; and he wanted to
know what the rest of Councils thoughts were on the idea.
City of Edgewater Page 4 Printed on 1011512015
City Council Meeting Minutes October 5,2015
Council and staff discussed. it being a fine point as to what type of spaces are needed, because use is
dependent on the time of year; if there was any way to add more parking spaces; difficulties, and
stipulations to adding more parking spaces; currently exceeding ADA compliance at the park in
regards to handicap parking spaces; the ADA requiring the City to have two handicap parking
spaces for trailers; whether or not the City had received many complaints about not having enough
handicap spaces; whether or not everyone that has a handicap sticker actually is handicapped;
determining the number of handicap spaces that are needed being more difficult than it seemed, and
it really depending on the time of day, and whether it is a weekday or weekend; it being a balancing
act of needed regular, and handicap parking spaces; adding one more handicap space and seeing
how much the handicap spaces are, or are not used; people also being able to use Menard-May park;
what is required to add one more handicap parking space; where the additional handicap parking
space would be; the boat ramp limiting how far north the handicap spaces can be extended;
calculating storm water requirements and adding additional parking spaces; adding more parking
spaces by using permeable parking space material instead of concrete spaces; wheelchairs and the
park being at zero slope; the need for additional parking spaces at the park; contacting the engineer
to see how much more permeable material can be added to the park; and bringing the issue up again
at the November 2015 Council meeting.

b. City Attorney
City Attorney Aaron Wolfe reported: the City's insurance company would like Council's approval to
settle the litigation of Andrew Morgan verses the City of Edgewater, for the sum of $200,000 in order

c. City Manager
City Manager Tracey Barlow reported: the stop sign at Willow and 22nd Street went into affect
today, October S, 2015; the original plan for 22nd Street was to put in four way stops for a period of
time, and then to come back and remove it, and then replicate what 26th Street looked like in as far
as which ones were four way and which ones were two way stop signs; prior to doing that,
Environmental Services Director Brenda Dewees shared the residents requests to leave all of them
on 22nd Street as a four way stop; and he asked Council for their direction.
Council and staff discussed. leaving the stop signs up, as the public has requested; the original intent
was to create another East/West route, to alleviate some of the traffic on 26th Street, getting away
from the overall intent of the original road project, and sticking to the original plan; and people
being able to stop at the intersection if they want.
After discussion, the Council directed the City Manager to stick with the original plan.
Mr. Barlow discussed: the property on Travelers Palm, and the bank not being willing to approve a
waiver, or authorization to allow the City to demolish the house; however, the bank did indicate they
may entertain the idea of removing any interest they have on the property by dropping the mortgage;
this would allow the City to do a foreclosure on the property, and then the City could bulldoze it at
that time; the City is making progress; he talked to Mrs. Hayman across the street from the property,
who stated she is happy with the progress the City is making; and he stated Code has talked to all
three neighbors of the East Palm Way property, and they all seem to be satisfied.
He reported that last week the City' Chair for the Cultural - Recreation board was incarcerated on
attempted murder charges; the By-laws for any of the City boards specifies that the Council does not
have to have a reason to relieve someone from a board; and asked if Council wanted him to bring
applications forward for their review on the November Council meeting.
Councilman Conroy stated: concerning the Travelers Palm property: to consider making it a police
department sub-station where the officers could sit and do their paperwork; and stated that the
citizens would probably like having their presence in the neighborhood.

City Council Meeting Minutes October 5,2015

Director John McKinney would be the Acting City Manager in his absence.
12. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Chuck Martin, 205 Cherrywood Lane discussed: frequently using the Rail-Trail bicycle path; that the
new bicycle sign blocks a bicyclists view at Park Avenue and Old Mission Road, which causes
bicyclists to pull out too far on the highway to see if there is any on-coming traffic; stated the trail is
really nice, with a lot of people using it, and the word is getting out about the trail; and thanked
Council for the wonderful job they are doing.
Bill Lachenal, 3022 Victory Palm Drive stated the bike path is phenomenal; he has lost over 20
pounds while walking the trail; and asked if there is any way that one of the streets in Florida Shores
that goes from 30th street out to SR 442 could have a sidewalk; and residents would like a sidewalk
so they can make the journey all the way around.
Council and staff discussed: the City's Master pedestrian/bicycle facility plan; top priority would
probably be on Hibiscus Drive; needing to obtain property right of way in Florida Shores; the TPO
and various grants; and the City extending what is already in place on Mango to 27th Street.
Councilman Conroy stated: he coordinated a lot of bike helmets for the the Rail-Trail ribbon cutting

he would work with bike clubs to try and get volunteers.
Nicholas Szegda, 106 Orange Avenue, discussed. special events at Hawks park, and safety; and

back to the City with mitigation recommendations; and stated the City will get a copy of the
consultants recommendations to FDOT.
Mr. Szegda also discussed adding cross walks at cross streets, and leaving existing curbs on one side
of the street, and aesthetics; and Mr. Barlow replied that due to storm water run-off there are no
other plans by FDOT to do curb and guttering due to cost of the project, acquisition of property and
not being able to send the run-off into the Indian River. Mr. Szegda discussed the SKYWARN
program; and thanked the City for hosting the SKYWARN meeting.

City Council Meeting Minutes October 5, 2015
Council and staff discussed: individuals not stopping for people who are in a crosswalk; a LED strobe
light system that Texas is using; LED warning lights being a good TPO topic; using a LED warning light
