MISCELLANEOUS
William Glaser, 1703 Needle Palm, asked for help from dust caused by through trucks
and car traffic which uses Needle Palm as a shortcut to Mango Tree to get to Park
Avenue. Mayor Ledbetter asked if speed signs are posted there and Mr. Glaser said
yes, but the street averages 100 to 150 cars a day and it's getting worse. Mr. Glaser
pointed out that he spoke to Council over a month ago about this. There was a dis-
cussion about the use of calcium chloride for controlling dust and if it is prohibited
by DER or EPA. Mr. Glaser asked about diverting traffic from the street since the
Council was able to close a public alley. There was a discussion about the alley, or
easement behind the Shop-E-Z. Mayor Ledbetter asked if they want the street paved and
Mr. Glaser said he's presented petitions twice before. Mayor Ledbetter suggested he
bring an updated petition to this Council. Councilman Asting suggested if calcium
chloride is permitted that it be used as an experiment on Needle Palm from Mango Tree
to Indian River Boulevard to test it for effectiveness. Councilman Spencer suggested
the City staff determine whether the calcium chloride or some other material can be used.
Councilman Asting asked that Earl Copeland check into this and give Council a report.

Q
MISCELLANEOUS (Continued)
Elizabeth Taylor, Park Place, stated that the County left piles of dirt along both
sides of the street and the rain is causing a lot of mud. Mayor Ledbetter stated
that held been told they'd be coming back to clean this up.
Walter Gross, 909 Lake Avenue, spoke on the 2i gas tax and asked if the City has
received the $60,000.00. City Clerk Kinsey noted that as of April the City had
received $22,575.00 and itls part of the General Fund budget. She added it's in
Public Works for other contractual services, culvert expenses for those owned by
the City, road materials and supplies, and $12,000.00 for machinery and equipment.
Mr. Gross suggested it be used for controlling dust, and asked when the remainder
of the $60,000.00 would be received. City Clerk Kinsey noted that it comes in on a
monthly basis.
John Siburn, Connecticut Avenue, said they used calcium chloride in New York and it
was quite good. He added that the speed of the vehicle is what causes the dust.
He commented on the "Better Water for People ~Jeek" and said we must be careful about
salt water intrusion at Juniper Drive at the 40 foot level and spreading anything on
the ground that will work its way down to the aquifer. He also thanked Chief Overman
for his cooperation in a recent incident.
Andrew J. Motes, 122 East Knapp Avenue, stated there was a violation of the Building
Code regarding fences as there is a 6 foot high Berlin wall down the side of his
property and the ordinance says it cannot be concrete. He said helll have to hire
a lawyer because of a mistake the Building Official made. Councilman Spencer asked
if it was there when he bought the property and Mr. Motes said no but before he could
get completely moved in, it was there. Councilwoman Bennington noted that held filled
out a complaint and the Building Official checked it out and said there was no violation.
Mr. Motes showed hi s paper\'lOrk to Mayor Ledbetter and Counci hmman Bennington. City
Clerk Kinsey read the January 31st letter from Dennis Fischer. Mr. Motes said he was
misinformed in the conversation with Mr. Fischer because the code was not quoted
correctly as it can't be concrete wall. Mayor Ledbetter noted that permits have been
issued to several others in town for this type of wall. Mr. Motes said it's a solid
concrete wall and he didn't want the wall there and itls illegal. Councilwoman
Bennington noted Dr. Lacy may have been granted a special expection or variance for this.
Councilman Wargo moved that they turn this over to the City Clerk and Building Official
for investigation and have them report back to Councilor send it to the Code Enforcement
Board if that's where it belongs. Councilwoman Bennington seconded the motion. Motion
CARRIED 5-0.
COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES
City Council Reports - Councilman Wargo said he understands the people paving the streets
under the Community Development Block Grant were prepared to do 11 streets by mistake and
had cleaned them but then only paved 6. He said there's about $6,000.00 left over from
the street paving program and held like to get them paved while the company is still here.
City Clerk Kinsey said she called the County office that day and got a cost of approxi-
mately $38,000.00 for the balance of the streets not paved. Councilwoman Bennington
suggested they buy a roller from money in Federal Revenue Sharing and the materials for
paving the streets themselves. Mayor Ledbetter noted they donlt need a 20-ton roller
and they could rent or buy one. City Clerk Kinsey said she wasn't sure they'd have the
personnel to do the paving and Councilwoman Bennington suggested they hire part-time
people to pick up trash. Councilman Spencer asked that the City Clerk check into this
since the Council has a list of other streets that need repaving. Mr. Walter Gross,
from the audience, asked if they could use some of the $60,000.00 and Mayor Ledbetter
said it's already pledged. Councilman Spencer said held like to look at some of those
six streets to see the condition. City Clerk Kinsey said she'd research this and give
a report to Council. Mr. Siburn, from the audience, said the job they did was perfect
with a 3" cap and he suggested they look at some of the others on the list because he
didnlt feel they all were in dire need. Councilwoman Bennington noted that they need
a workshop to go over the priority list and they could do that also at that time.

City Council Reports (continued) - Councilwoman Bennington said she's been getting
calls regarding the fire horn at Virginia and Mr. Makie who lives behind Leon's station
has asked that it be moved again. She noted that it's been moved twice already and asked
George Kennedy, the Fire Chief, if it's needed there, or if it's needed at all. Mr.
Kennedy said he feels they need it for daytime use but doesn't feel it's necessary at
nights. He explained that during the day the men don't keep their pagers with them when
on the job and they can hear the horn but at night they have the pagers close by.
Councilwoman Bennington said they could turn off the air after 7 at night or move it
to Mango Tree fire station or U.S. 1 fire station. Mr. Kennedy pointed out that they
need an air compressor and there's one at station 2 which could be moved to station 1
but he wasn't sure if it's operational. Councilwoman Bennington asked him to check into
this and report back to the City Clerk about the possibility of moving it or shutting
it off at night. Mr. Main, of the Fire Department and from the audience, said the
horn serves as a backup to the pagers. Mr. Kennedy said he doesn't see any need for it.
Councilman Spencer asked Police Chief Overman if he uses the horn or if EVER does. Chief
Overman said it's only for fires and Mrs. 01ds, EVER President, said they don't use it
but perhaps Civil Defense does. Councilman Spencer said he thought they could discontinue
using it unless it's a necessity.
Councilman Spencer stated that he attended an April 24th seminar at DBCC which was also
attended by two Planning and Zoning Board members, Lyle Chenoweth and George Quaggin.
He said he also attended a May 3rd seminar at DBCC with City Clerk Kinsey and this was
on hurricanes and it was exceedingly informative. He noted that next week he'11 be
out of town and there's a Technical Coordinating Committee meeting that week but he's
sent his comments to them and has given Council a copy of this.
Councilman Spencer said he checked into references on the JCB backhoe loader since a
Council member had reports at the last regular meeting that there were some dissatisfied
users. He said he talked to an operator of a JCB who was extremely pleased with it
and the other City is renting the equipment from Rozier and it's being used 10 to 12
hours a day and except for one hydraulic line problem, it's worked excellently and
they're very pleased with it.
City Attorney Reports - The City Attorney had no report at this time.
City Clerk Reports - City Clerk Kinsey said there's an accumulation of trash in the
City and they've been running the trash truck 5 days a week plus the three trucks on
Wednesday but are still unable to keep up with it. She said the Street Department
has requested a one-ton stake truck at a price of $10,046. under State bid. She
noted that they spent $25,000.00 less than anticipated for the backhoe so the funds
are available for the this purchase. Mayor Ledbetter said he didn't feel that size
truck would be large enough for their needs. Councilwoman Bennington asked the time
for delivery and City Clerk Kinsey said it would be about 90 days on State bid.
Mayor Ledbetter suggested they trade off the 2-ton truck in the Water Department for
when they haul culverts. Councilwoman Bennington asked the system for trash pickup
and City Clerk Kinsey reviewed the schedule. Councilman Asting pointed out that some
of trash exceeds the four foot length. Mayor Ledbetter said he's had calls about
trash not being moved in five or six weeks. Councilman Wargo said he'd talked to Earl
Copeland about this and Earl had told him they're behind and he suggested they use
any equipment available so they're using garbage trucks and the dump truck to pick up
the trash and are trying to keep up. Mayor Ledbetter suggested they purchase something
large enough to get the job done. Councilman Wargo moved that they authorize them
to go for the 1t ton truck at State bid. Councilwoman Bennington seconded the motion.
Councilman Spencer asked if the 1t ton is on State bid and City Clerk Kinsey said she'd
have to check. Councilman Wargo changed his motion to be upon verification of the
price from the State. Councilman Spencer said this would be on the basis that it's a
State bid 1t-ton stake truck and that there's sufficient money left from the backhoe.
Councilwoman Bennington withdrew her second and seconded the changed motion. Motion
CARRIED 4-1. Mayor Ledbetter voted NO.

COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued)
Building Code Board & Building Official - Recommendation for ordinance to provide
contractor licensing and competency requirements - City Clerk Kinsey read the April
24th memo from Robert Howard, Chairman of the Building Code Board, which recommended
the adoption of an ordinance similar to that used in Port Orange. Councilman Spencer
pointed out that Dennis Fischer also had a memo attached which recommended this adoption.
He added that this will be difficult task to compile it into the City's ordinances and
some are already in the Code. He suggested Dennis Fischer could help prepare an
ordinance. Mr. Fischer said he used Port Orange's ordinance as a model to go by and
with the expansion in Edgewater, they need some licensing requirements. Councilman
Spencer agreed with him. Councilwoman Bennington said she objected to the fact that
it almost prohibits an owner-builder from doing his own work, but she agreed they need
the competency from the contractors and the apprentices. Councilman Spencer said this
doesn't preclude an owner-builder from building his own home but it shows he'll build
it according to the Code and hire competent subcontractors to do those things he can't
do himself. He added that he felt they were trying to preclude the people from building
every six months. Councilwoman Bennington pointed out if an owner-builder wants to
build his own house and it's inspected at every phase, if it doesn1t conform to Code
he'll have to bring it up to Code himself or hire someone who will do it right.
Councilman Wargo said the problem is with poor workmanship and failure of contractors
to follow the Code. He noted that different associations have information available
to draw up a City Code. He said it's not the duty of Council to get into workmanship
because there's nothing in the City Code regarding this and the Building Official is
not a building instructor. Councilwoman Bennington said she agrees there are several
items that need to be addressed but she won't agree to it in bulk.
Councilman Asting said according to Dennis Fischer's letter there are people who have
no license and they should register with the Building Official. Councilwoman Bennington
said she agreed with that, and she moved that they turn this back over to Dennis Fischer
and the Building Code Board to come up with a rough draft of an ordinance that entails
the builders' competency requirements. Councilmen Wargo and Asting seconded the motion
simultaneously. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Planning & Zoning Board - Ad Hoc Committee to Update Comprehensive Plan - City Clerk
Kinsey read the April 30th letter from Don Bennington which requested assistance from
a professional firm at an estimated cost of $5,000.00 to help with updati~ and revising
the Comprehensive Plan. City Clerk Kinsey then read her May 2nd memo in which she
recommended that the new City Engineers be made aware of this for their review and
advice to Council. Councilman Asting suggested they hire a part-time engineer who
could do it for less money and asked that this be held until the Special Meeting
scheduled for Wednesday, May 9th.
Planning & Zoning Board - Request to amend 880 Ordinance to include corner setback
requirements - City Clerk Kinsey read the April 11th memo from the Planning and Zoning
Board regarding a need for corner side lot setbacks for zones B-2, B-3, B-4 and R-4.
Councilman Spencer said he agreed with their recommendation and he moved that Council
instruct the City Attorney to prepare the appropriate ordinance to change it and have
a first and second reading. Councilman Wargo seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Planning & Zoning Board - Request to rezone property from B-6 to B-3 - City Clerk
Kinsey read the April 25th memo requesting a rezoning of property presently zoned B-6
to B-3 as the only two areas zoned B-6 are too small to build a hospital. Councilman
Asting moved to approve this request. Councilman Spencer seconded the motion.
Councilman Wargo asked if this request was from a certain party or from the Board and
Don Bennington, Chairman of Planning and Zoning Board, said it's the Board's action.
Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Planning & Zoning Board - Revision of Permitted Uses in B-2 and B-3 zones - City
Clerk Kinsey read the April 30th memo from the Planning and Zoning Board which
recommended certain uses be revised in the B-2 and B-3 zones. Councilwoman Bennington
moved that they send this to the City Attorney to be changed but asked for changes
to be made first. She said on B-2 under Miniwarehouses, she wanted the description J
to end after lito be used soley for storage purposesll. She said under B-3, Light
Manufacturing, she wanted the sectionll(3 to 8 employees requires Special Exception)1I
to read eitherll(over 3 to 8 employees requires Special Exception)1I or 11(4 to 8
employees requires Special Exception)lI. Councilman Spencer seconded the motion.
Councilwoman Bennington questioned the item IIMusicll in B-3 and asked that it be
more definite than just the word IIMusicll. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Councilman Asting moved to recess at 8:35 PM.
The meeting was recessed.
Councilman Spencer seconded the motion.

COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued)-
The meeting was called back to order at 8:50 PM by Mayor Ledbetter.
Citizen Code Enforcement Board - Request for re-appointment to Board - City Clerk
Kinsey read the April 26th memo from Russell Prater in which he requested re-appointment
to the Board. Councilman Asting moved to re-appoint Russ Prater to the Citizen Code
Enforcement Board. Councilman Spencer said he'd like to have this brought up later
since it's another item on the agenda. Councilman Asting withdrew his motion.
Citizen Code Enforcement Board - Recommendation for re-appointment to Board - City
Clerk Kinsey then read the April 26th memo from Russell Prater which requested the
re-appointment of Louis Rotundo to the Board. Councilwoman Bennin9ton moved to accept
both letters. Councilman Spencer seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Councilman Asting stated that the re-appointments should be listed at the same place
on the agenda as the communications and Councilwoman Bennington and Councilman Spencer
agreed.
Parks and Recreation Board - Request for re-appointment to Board - City Clerk Kinsey
read the April 18th letter from Bob Wolfe which requested his re-appointment to this
Board. Councilman Wargo moved that this letter be received and placed on file.
Councilman Spencer seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Parks and Recreation Board - Recommendation for re-appointment to Board - City Clerk
Kinsey read the April 18th memo from Bob Wolfe in which he recommended the re-appointment
of Bob Griesse to this Board. Councilman Wargo moved that this be received and
placed on file. Councilwoman Bennington seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Merit Board Recommendations - Utilities Dept. - two new job descriptions - City Clerk
Kinsey read the April 26th memo from the Merit Board in which they recommended the
adoption of two new job descriptions. Councilman Spencer noted that these will be
followed by a ~equest for an upgrade in this department and also the Police Department's
request for an upgrade of a job description. He said he feels since all the departments
in the City have been asked to rewrite the job descriptions in a more concise fashion,
the Council will be given additional ones for upgrading or new positions and he suggested
they act on all at the same time so they can compare one to another to determine if they're
equitably set and they can then use them for budget preparations for next year. Council-
woman Bennington agreed it's a good suggestion and she'd like to see them all at one
time. Councilman Asting said it would be very time consuming to go through a lot at
one time. Councilman Spencer said there should be very few to review, and they should
become effective as of October 1st. Councilwoman Bennington asked how many would be
coming for review and City Clerk Kinsey said she wasn't aware of any besides these but
the entire job description package will be re-written, however, there may not be changes
in the grade levels. Councilwoman Bennington asked if there's a provision now for the
job descriptions for Utilities and Mr. Terry Wadsworth, Utilities Superintendent, said
no but there is only one person eligible this fiscal year and the cost difference would
be 6~ an hour for the classification. Councilman Asting asked how many Class B operators
they have in Wastewater and Mr. Wadsworth said there's one. Councilman Asting noted
that the supervisor should be making more than his workers. Mr. Wadsworth said that
it provides incentive for people to get higher licensing. Councilman Asting moved to
approve these two new job descriptions for the Utilities Department. Councilwoman
Bennington seconded the motion for discussion. Mr. Walter Gross, from the audience,
called a point of order and Mayor Ledbetter asked him to let the Council finish with
this motion. Mr. Gross withdrew his point of order. Councilman Wargo said he didn't
feel he had enough time to study this. Councilwoman Bennington asked if the Class B
classification came about due to having to hire someone through Briley, Wild \~hen
an employee was terminated. Mr. Wadsworth said that was one reason and it was also
to provide incentive, and he noted they need only one Class B operator to comply with
State requirements. Councilman Spencer stated they have others in the Grade 12 level
and they might consider an increase for Water and Wastewater operators to a higher
grade. He added that a wage survey is expected in the mail which will show comparable
wages for people in other cities and he'd like to look at this simultaneously. Mayor
Ledbetter agreed. Motion DID NOT CARRY 1-4. Councilman Asting voted YES.
Councilman Wargo moved that they study this a little further and come back at a later
date. Councilman Spencer seconded the motion. Councilwoman Bennington asked if he
meant just the one request from Merit Board or all three and Councilman Wargo clarified
it was all three. Councilman Spencer agreed as the second to the motion. Motion CARRIED
4-1. Councilman Asting voted NO.

City Attorney Alvarez stated that he had a conversation with representatives of
Group W during the recess and they told him they feel the 15 year franchise is really
a 30 year franchise and the renewal is automatic pursuant to the language in the
franchise. He said they're on a time frame of a crises due to the sale of Group W
to another company which is contingent upon the deliverance by municipalities for
another 15 years. He said he asked them if the City has the right to negotiate for
the services for the next 15 years and they feel there is nothing to negotiate.
He added that if their contention is correct, there might be a problem, and he asked
Council's authorization for him to consult with an independent attorney for an
opinion as to whether their contention is correct. He said if they aren't correct,
Council may want to make certain conditions. Councilman Wargo moved that they
authorize the City Attorney to consult with another attorney relative to the problem.
Councilwoman Bennington seconded the motion. Councilman Wargo noted that the service
is lousy and there have been a lot of complaints and he didn't know why they requested
a renewal if it's assured. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
COMr~UN I CAT IONS
Edward Kenny Clinton, Sr. re: home and driveway construction - City Clerk Kinsey read
the April 30th letter from Mr. Clinton. Mr. Clinton reviewed some of the problems with
the workmanship of a house he bought at 2505 Juniper Drive and said he had the Building
Official check it and he agreed it's poor workmanship. He added that Ray Bradshaw had
made the inspections during the construction and did several inspections at one time
in June of 1983. He noted that since the City sent a letter to the builder regarding
the driveway culvert, he has been getting a response to the other problems. He said
he'd have to go through an attorney to get the large items done such as the roof,
plaster, soffett, etc., but he isn't paying for anything. Mayor Ledbetter read from
the Standard Bu'ilding Code section which stated workmanship is not within the purview
of the code. Mr. Clinton said he felt the City should get something on their books to
stop the poor workmanship. Councilman Wargo suggested setting up a bonding for the
contractors so they'll do the job they're supposed to do. Councilwoman Bennington
said if it relates to builders' competency and that item is going back to the Building
Official and Building Code Board, perhaps he could talk with Dennis Fischer and the
Board at that meeting and come up with something to bring to Council. Councilman
Asting said he agreed with Councilwoman Bennington's suggestions.
Frank Opal re: Board of Adjustment Vacancy - City Clerk Kinsey read the May 2nd
letter from Frank Opal in which he requested appointment on the Board of Adjustments.
Councilwoman Bennington moved to accept the letter. Councilman Wargo seconded the
