Councilwoman Bennington stated on page 5 of the minutes of the Regular Meeting of February
7, 1983, there was an error as to who had made the second to the motion regarding the
Board of Governors. The minutes reflected Councilman Asting's name and it should be Council-
woman Bennington. Councilwoman Bennington moved to adopt the minutes with this correction,
Councilman Spencer seconded. Councilman Asting stated on page 2 the statement regarding
Mr. Opal's request for mileage reimbursement should read he IIfelt the County should make
this reimbursement...1I rather than the IICityll as stated in the minutes. Councilwoman
Bennington withdrew her motion. Councilman Asting moved to adopt the minutes with these
two corrections, Councilman Spencer seconded. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
BILLS AND ACCOUNTS
The bills and accounts had four supplements to the regular bills. Mayor McKillop suggested
they be handled separately. The City Clerk read a February 10th memo from the Finance
Director regarding a bill from Briley, Wild which the Finance Department had never received.
The total is $583.26. Councilman Spencer moved to pay this bill, Councilwoman Bennington
seconded for discussion. There was a discussion as to how the City could be assured the
services had been performed. Motion CARRIED 3-1, Councilwoman Bennington voted NO.
The next was a bill from Delta Business Systems from the Police Department in the amount
of $275.00. Councilman Spencer moved to pay this bill, Councilman Asting seconded. Motion
CARRIED 4-0.
Councilwoman Bennington said that based on the audit where we were written up on purchasing
procedures, she makes a motion that from this point on any employee who does not follow
the purchasing procedure be reprimanded and it noted in his personnel file to stop this.
Councilman Asting seconded the motion. Mayor McKillop feels it's too restrictive. Motion
CARRIED 4-0.
The City Clerk read a February 17th letter from the Finance Director regarding an insurance
reimbursement from Jacob Lodico. This was a charge for use of a prescription card after
Mr. Lodico's term of office had ended. Councilman Asting moved to have the City Clerk
write a letter to Mr. Lodico informing him that we have this bill and we feel that payment
is due from him to reimburse the City, Councilwoman Bennington seconded. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
The City Clerk read a letter from the Finance Director regarding a past due balance to the
News & Observer. There was a discussion regarding the use of the composing room by Mr.
Ken Millard. The memo did not have a charge for the advertisements in question and Mayor
McKillop said it would have to be referred back. Councilman Asting moved to TABLE this
and direct the City Clerk to contact a representative of I.V.E. and find out what it is.
Councilwoman Bennington seconded. Motion CARRIED 4-0. Councilman Spencer asked that the
charge for the advertisements be determined also.
Councilwoman Bennington moved to pay the regular bills and accounts, Councilman Spencer
seconded. Motion CARRIED 4-0.

Mayor McKillop stated he had a request to move the Nichols' Request for Quit Claim
Deed up from Unfinished Business. Council had no objection.
Nichols Request for Quit Claim Deed - Attorney Easterbrook was present to represent Nichols and
Ogil Reed who are requesting a quit claim deed to a 40 ft. piece of property. Attorney
Easterbrook reviewed the deeds issued in 1956 and 1966. There was a discussion regarding
the abstract and the conveyance of the land. Mayor McKillop said the Planning Department
took the legals for the three requests recently received for development bordering that same
road and it puts the grocery on the same line as the professional buildings and the Harris
building. Mayor McKillop asked if we have anything recorded that gives us possession of the
40 feet of New York Avenue where the road presently is. Attorney Easterbrook. replied that
he didn't know as it would not appear in the abstract, as you1re asking about another piece
of property to the east. There was a dicussion regarding the utility easement and Attorney
Easterbrook said they'll do whatever is needed to keep that easement open. Mayor McKillop
said that he still questions the parking as to how they arrived at 5 parking spaces without
going to the Board of Adjustment or any other board. The City Attorney said he agrees with
Attorney Easterbrook's opinion. It is a wild deed that conveys only what the conveyor
possesses and apparently he had made this conveyance before. Councilwoman Bennington asked
if he is saying the quit claim is illegal and Attorney Easterbrook said it just does not
convey anything. Councilwoman Bennington said that based on the attorney's opinion, she
moves that we grant them the quit claim deed. Councilman Spencer seconded the motion.
Councilman Asting said he wants to amend it to say the 5 ft. easement from U.S.l to New
York Avenue. Councilwoman Bennington said she'd include that in the motion. Councilman
Asting withdrew his amendment, Councilman Spencer withdrew his second, and Councilwoman
Bennington withdrew her motion. Councilwoman Bennington then moved that based on the
attorney's ruling they be granted the quite claim deed with the'5 foot easement running from
U.S. 1 to New York Avenue. Councilman Spencer seconded the motion. There was a discussion
on the sufficiency of a 5 ft. easement. Mayor McKillop wanted them to be sure this is the
only 5 ft. easement they might need and that a road right of way easement is not needed.
Motion CARRIED 3-1. Mayor McKillop voted NO.
MISCELLANEOUS
Ben Vasquez, property owner in Edgewater, criticized the Police Department tactics regarding
a vehicle parked on Needle Palm Drive. He was issued a citation which stated to either
purchase a tag or. tow it away.
Frank Opal, Florida Shores, spoke on the Planning Commission By-Laws. He suggested that
some sections be changed. He questioned two votes qualifying to change zoning on site
plans. He then spoke on the letter from the Planning Commission Chairman asking that his
appointment be rescinded and stated he demanded a public hearing.
Walter Gross, President of C.O.E., stated he thinks the City inherited three problems -
a financial problem, a road paving problem, and an employee problem. He praised the City
Clerk and her staff for the excellent work he feels they are doing, and for the way she
is keeping the Council informed of all problems.
Carmen Montesano spoke about the vehicles that are illegally parked in Florida Shores.
There was a discussion about the procedure for handling these complaints and the time
they are given to correct the problem. Mr. Montesano also said he had heard that one of
our police officers had been sent to Deland to pay someone's taxes in Florida Shores,
and he wants to know why. Chief Baugh stated he had not sent anyone. Mayor McKillop
said they would research this.
COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS/BOARDS AND COMMITTEES
Council - Councilwoman Bennington submitted a report on her trip to the Florida League
of Cities Annual Legislative Convention in Tallahassee on February 10th and 11th. She
said they're having a Florida Advisory Council on Intergovernmental Relations seminar in
Tallahassee on the 3rd and 4th on annexation and we might want to send a representative
to this. The City Manager of Daytona Beach is one of the principal speakers.
City Attorney - City Attorney Alvarez spoke on the review of the Briley, Wild agreement
and said if Briley, Wild is going to remain as the main City Engineer and you wish to go
out and hire other firms for smaller projects then you must be aware that there is
mandatory language on pages 3 and 6 outlining certain duties that Briley, Wild shall perform.
If it is contemplated to have a new City Engineer then page 18 of the agreement provides
for a 90 day termination and is a simple, straightforward language regarding the procedure
for termination and notification. Councilman Spencer clarified that if we want to hire a
part-time engineer we would have to check first to see that isn't required by Briley, Wild.

Regular Council Meeting Minutes
February 21,1983
u
u
City Attorney (cont'd)- The City Attorney had submitted a draft of the referendum
ordinance. Councilman Asting said he understood that this is satisfactory to the group
df people who submitted the petition, and to Katherine Odham, and the Attorney. The City
Attorney said it was satisfactory to him. Councilman Asting moved to approve the draft
ordinance and that the City Attorney be directed to prepare the final ordinance for the next
meeting. Councilman Spencer seconded the motion. Councilwoman Bennington asked if we have
a legal opinion as to whether it was legal as to the wording of the petition. City Attorney
Alvarez said there is one thought presented by the former City Attorney Clay Henderson and
the other is the intent of the individual who signed the petition is pretty clear. Tech-
nically the petition should show on its face the language, however, he did not feel comfortable
ruling on whether it's legal or illegal, only a court of competent jurisdiction determines
what's legal or illegal. Councilman Asting asked the City Attorney if Katherine Odham had
any qualms about it being illegal. City Attorney Alvarez replied that particular point was
not discussed, as his concern was whether she had any objections to the question but she did
not bring to his attention any doubt as to the wording of the petition. Councilman Asting
read the first paragraph of the draft ordinance and asked if that makes it legal under State
Statutes. City Attorney Alvarez replied he would be comfortable defending this action in
court, and based on what's before them today he would not be able to say if it's illegal.
Mayor McKillop asked if it is only a question of interpretation and we made this a Council
initiative they have the right to put the question on the ballot and there could be no chall-
enge. City Attorney Alvarez said there could always be a challenge. Mayor McKillop said
it would be on the Council putting it on the ballot and that would take away any challenge
as to whether or not we had met the legal form of the referendum. Mayor McKillop reviewed
the two ways of putting any item on a ballot.either by the petition or the Council to vote
and say they want the item on the ballot and adopt the question as their own. r1otion
CARRIED 4-0. City Attorney Alvarez said he would bring it in final form to the next regular
meeting and have second and final reading at the following regular meeting.
City Clerk - City Clerk Nancy Blazi asked about advertising of the agenda in the newspapers.
She feels there is no additional response for the extra expense and extra work but would
like to post agendas in various spots around the City. Councilwoman Bennington suggested
moving the cutoff day for agenda items to Tuesday and get the packets on Thursday to give
them three working days to investigate and get information. Councilwoman Bennington moved
to stop advertising in the paper and to post it in various areas that Mrs. Blazi had suggested
on the bulletin boards around town. Councilman Spencer seconded the motion.Motion CARRIED 4-0.
The City Clerk then asked Council to consider permission for the Finance Director and City
Clerk to attend a seminar in Fort Lauderdale in April with an approximate total cost for
both to be $500. Councilwoman Bennington moved to permit this as she feels these seminars
are very informative, Councilman Spencer seconded the motion for discussion. Councilman
Asting asked the dates and the City Clerk replied April 10 through 13. Councilman Asting
asked if they confl.ict with City Council meetings and it was determined that they did not.
Councilman Spencer asked the name of the organization and the City Clerk replied it is
sponsored by the Florida Municipal Finance Officers' Association and the Florida Association
of City Clerks. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
Boards - The City Clerk read the request from the Board of Adjustment requesting a change
in the sign ordinance which would delete Sec.3.9 IINo variance for maximum allowable display
area will be granted.1I There was a discussion regarding the size allowed now for signs and a
need for larger signs in the new shopping center due to its distance from the highway.
Mr. Wetzel, Chairman of the Board of Adjustment, spoke to Council about the request from
Colite Industries for the Winn-Dixie sign and said he recommends deletion of that sentence.
The City Clerk said we'll have another request from a store there due to its distance from
the highway. Mayor McKillop said if we delete the last sentence they would have to apply to
the Board of Adjustment for a variance as to size. Councilman Spencer asked if the shopping
center is nearing completion and the stores are anxious to get the signs up, what can be
done to expedite this. Mayor McKillop said we could do it through an emergency ordinance,
but we could contact them to see when they'll be opening to determine if it is an emergency.
Councilman Spencer moved to have the City Council direct the City Attorney to prepare an
ordinance deleting the last sentence of Sec. 3.9 which reads: IINo variance for maximum
allowable display area shall be granted. II Councilwoman Bennington seconded. The City Attorney
asked if Council desires to have it on buildings which are located in shopping centers
at far distance from u.S. 1. Mayor McKillop said the Board of Adjustments control would
come in there and weigh each case, Motion CARRIED 4-0.
The next item was a letter from the Planning Commission Chairman requesting that the Council
rescind the appointment of Frank Opal. The City Clerk read the letter dated February 18,
1983. Councilman Asting moved to retain Frank Opal on the Planning "Commission. r1ayor
McKillop passed the gavel to the Acting Mayor and seconded the motion. There was a lengthy
discussion on the reasons listed in the letter for this request and it was pointed out that
a member can have three unexcused absences before being dropped from the Commission.

COMMUNICATIONS
Joseph Rymsza - Request for Home Occupational License - The City Clerk read the request
from Joseph Rymsza, 126 West Connecticut. Councilman Asting asked Mr. Rymsza if this was
for telephone service only and Mr. Rymsza replied yes. Councilman Asting asked if there
would be any equipment or materials stored on the property and Mr. Rymsza replied just his
transportation. Councilman Spencer asked what kind of vehicle he would be using and Mr.
Rymsza replied it's a pickup truck. Councilman Spencer asked if it would be parked at
his house and Mr. Rymsza replied yes. Councilman Spencer asked if they will meet requirements

Spencer seconded. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
Councilman Asting moved to have a brief recess at 8:45 P.M., Councilwoman Bennington seconded.

Harold Brown - Special Exception Repeal - The City Clerk read a letter from Harold Brown
dated February 1,1983, which requested Council's review of the decision made by the Board
of Adjustment on November 18, 1982. She also read a letter from Edward T. Johnson, 135
West Magnolia, dated February 21, 1983, requesting that this zoning change request be
denied. Councilwoman Bennington stated that she has a conflict of interest which she is
declaring now. Attorney William Gillespie represented Mr. Brown and stated that the Board
of Adjustments voted 6-1 ,without comment or findings, to deny the special exception request.
Attorney Gillespie reviewed the processes that Mr. Brown had gone through in an effort to
obtain this special exception. Attorney Gillespie asked that this Council over-rule the
action taken by the Board of Adjustment and grant the application or return this matter to
the Board of Adjustment with specific instructions that they make specific findings of fact
so that they can have a record to use. There was an extensive discussion as to the records
presented to Council and just who is to hear an appeal of a Board of Adjustment decision.
The City Attorney said this Council does not have sufficient record to take any action on
this matter at this time so they are almost obligated to send it back to the Board for
findings. Carl Groepler, 109 Neptune, spoke to Council and asked why there was a delay of :
over 90 days from the meeting when this action took place. There was continued discussion
about the zoning in this area and the numerous requests from neighboring residents that this I
not be approved. Councilman Spencer made a motion that the Council request the City Attorney
to determine whether or not the Board of Adjustment has met their requirements in denying
this particular application. City Attorney Alvarez asked if he meant whether or not there
is sufficent record, if this Couocil denies the special exception, to go to court.
Councilman Spencer replied that was right. To clariTY the motion, Councilman Spencer asked
the City Attorney to re-state it. The City Attorney said whether or not the Board of Adjust-
ment made the decision which is based on sufficient record from which this Council
or Circuit Court can determine if the ordinance was tollowed, 'the criteria was followed,
and whether or not they had due process at the administrative level. Motion died for lack
of second. Mayor McKillop stated there are three ways they can go, one is to find that the
record is complete and dismiss these people tonight on the way to court in the way the
record exists, and the second we can instruct our Attorney to review the record to make
sure it is complete, and the third is to send it back to the Board of Adjustment. Robert
Garthwaite, Vice-chairman of the Board of Adjustment, spoke to Council and said they had
two meetings on this case which lasted 3 to 3t hours, and they heard from residents living
in that area. He referred to the former Chairman's letter which did not mention specifics.
He stated he felt they should be able to get a good record from the minutes. Attorney
Gillespie said he did not feel the former Chairman's letter to be relevant to this matter and
they are requesting the City give findings o~fact as to specific reasons why the request
was denied. There was discussion regarding the letter from Carl Groepler which had been
incorporated into the minutes. City Attorney Alvarez suggested the Board Secretary take the
minutes, listen to the tape, and prepare a list of the findings. Councilman Spencer moved
to request the Board of Adjustment Secretary take the tapes of that meeting and develop to
the best of her ability a record of the content of the meeting pertaining to this particular
subject to be sent to the Council, and Administrator and City Attorney. Councilman Spencer
withdrew this motion. Councilman Asting moved that the Secretary for the Board of Adjust-
ment, in conjunction with members of the Board of Adjustment at a meeting, prepare a formal
letter of the findings and recommendations, listing findings specifically and then recommend-
ations. Councilman ~pencer seconded the motion. Councilman Asting stated this should come
back to us for the next meeting. City Attorney Alvarez said the meeting of the Board of
Adjustment should be open for further input of the public and the applicants. Motion
CARRIED 4-0.

Community Development Block Grant - Council received an official letter from Mr. Reggie
Williams, Director of the Community Development Division. The City Clerk read the
February 8, 1983 letter into the record. Councilman Spencer wanted to say the City ~/as
saved $27,000. with these findings. Councilman Asting stated he hoped we can take advantage
of this grant again this year and get some of the streets re-surfaced.
Charles Murphy - Resignation - The City Clerk read the February 17th letter from Charles
Murphy, Building Official, stating his intent to retire on March 23,1983. Councilman Asting
moved to accept Mr. Murphy's resignation and that we advertise for a Building Inspector for
the City of Edgewater. Councilwoman Bennington seconded for discussion and said she would
like to amend that to advertise for a full time Building Inspector and wants to advertise-
state-wide. Councilman Asting agreed to that amendment. but withdrew his motion. It was
decided they would discuss the subject before making another motion. Councilman Spencer
thought the Building Inspector should be a City employee and the Building Code Board at a
recent meeting said they would send to City Council a recommendation of qualifications for
a Building Inspector. He added that the Building Code Board felt a responsibility to review
applications and present to City Council the 3 or 4 top choices. Councilwoman Bennington
said her memorandum on Tallahassee had something to do with Building Departments and their
recommendations. Councilman Asting asked if State law requires certain qualifications for
Building Inspectors. City Attorney Alvarez said there is now a move to introduce legislation
to enable municipalities,if they choose to, to get out of the building inspection business,
and let the architects and engineers of the builders guarantee that the building has complied
with Southern Building Code. Councilwoman Bennington read from the Florida League of Cities
bulletin regarding legislation they are supporting. There was a discussion regarding the
salary of a City employee versus a contracted person. Councilman Asting said he prefers a
City employee as he feels he would be more responsive to Council. Councilman Spencer read
a paragraph from the minutes of the Building Code Board meeting of February 17th: Mr. Howard
made a motion, seconded by Mr. Hall, that Sectionl02, Organization, Sub-section 102.1
Building Official, paragraph (b)of the Standard Building Code have added to the requirements:

ment. Sub-section 102.2 Inspectors. The Inspector appointed shall be, within twelve (12)
months of appointment, certified by the Building Officials Association of Florida or be an
Inspector-Trainee who must be able to become certified by the Building Officials Association
of Florida within five (5) years. The members felt it was part of their duties to interview
applications for a Building Inspector. Councilman Spencer felt it should be a City employee
and responsible to the Council. Councilwoman Bennington moved to accept Mr. Murphy's
resignation and advertise state-wide for a full-time Building Inspector with applications
to be reviewed by the Building Code Board with the Building Code Board to submit their
recommendations to Council for their review. Councilman Asting seconded. Motion CARRIED 3-1.
