He stated that Mr. Engle opened up a large drain into the small one with no definite stop. He said he's taken out flood insurance and is concerned about his 3-year old granddaughter. He said he wrote about 2 months ago and didn't get an answer. He again said he'd talked to Mr. Copeland, who'd talked with the City Engineer. Mayor Baugh said he'd talked with Mr. Copeland about it. Mr. Bellavia said the drains are almost dead dry now and they still have the debris. Mayor Baugh said he'll ask Mr. Copeland to look at it and get a report back to them.

He reviewed at length the number of cars using the street since it's been paved and the lack of traffic control. He said a past Chief told him if they put stop signs on his street, they'll have to put them all over and it would cost the City too much. He stated that all he's got for his tax money this past 15 years is a water line. He referred to how other cities handle their traffic problems with four-way stops and speed bumps. Mr. Glaser asked how they could close the public alley because of traffic. Mr. Glaser again asked how they can get a solution to their problem and Mayor Baugh suggested they work radar on the streets, as they had a County engineer review the stop signs and he said it would be a poor thing to do with side streets going into the through street. Mayor Baugh said he'll turn it over 'to the Police Chief and ask him to check the traffic to try to slow it down with radar and do a traffic count and let Council know his findings. Chief Schumaker explained the workload of the department at present, citing various statistics for March. Mr. Glaser said if the people on the streets want the four-way stops signs, regardless of what the County says, then the City has the responsibility to do it. Mayor Baugh pointed out they have problems at other intersections. Mr. Glaser stated the City couldn't afford stop signs until they were sued, and Mayor Baugh repied that he was trying to get stop signs when Mr. Glaser was on Council and was turned down. Mayor Baugh noted there's a stop sign machine now, and the Chief will look at that intersection and get a report back to Mr. Glaser on his opinion since the Chief has to enforce it. Mr. Glaser then referred to a new desk and chair a former Chief bought. Councilman Asting stated that as more streets are paved, that should lower the volume of traffic on specific streets. Mr. Glaser said that won't make any difference. COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES City Council Reports - Councilman Rotundo advised Council he'll be leaving May 14th on vacation and will return May 28th so he'll miss the May 19th meeting. Councilman Asting moved to go out for bids for soil cementing the following streets: Guava from Boulevard to 26th Street, which is about 6,200 lineal feet; Willow Oak from 30th to 36th Street, which is about 3,893 feet; Orange Tree from 12th to 30th Street, which is about 12,353 feet; and Queen Palm from the Boulevard to 30th Street, which is about 8,502. He stated it's a total of 5.8 miles, and it's not the entire list the Council adopted for Phase 2 but the entire amount would be more than they could keep up with at one time. He noted the longer the soil cement stays without being capped over and above the curing time would cause deterioration. He added that when the estimates are in, they can decide to proceed with the paving. Councilman Inman seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Councilman Asting stated he's opposed to the impact fee imposed on the cities and developers and builders in the City, and the entire fee will go to the County, with the City being offered a very small percentage for collecting the money. He said the City is not a collection agency and any monies collected should go for improvements in the City and he moved to send a letter to the County Council opposing the impact fee they are contemplating imposing on our builders and developers. Councilman Inman seconded the motion. Mayor Baugh suggested they take it to the Thursday night meeting and Councilman Asting had no objection. Motion CARRIED 5-0. -3- Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 1986 o o COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued) City Council Reports (Continued) - Councilman Asting stated the gas tax for the County is about 5e a gallon. He reviewed how the tax is distributed and suggested the County look at this more closely. Mayor Baugh said the City gets about 1/12 of Ie. Councilman Inman said he attended the April 17th meeting with the Fire Department regarding the lease agreement with the City. He said after reading the latest agreement, he can see why the Fire Department has requested a meeting with the City Council. He requested a special meeting and workshop for Monday, April 28th, at 7:00 P.M. in the Community Center with the Fire Department, City Attorney, and City Council. Councilman Asting said he might not be able to make that meeting. Mayor Baugh stated that it can be scheduled for 7:00 P.M. on April 28th. Mayor Baugh read a portion of the proclamation that he'd presented last Thursday to the Girl Scout Leaders. He noted that there about 135 to 140 girls in the New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, Oak Hill area in Girl Scouts and they're trying to build up the troops. He said there was a Girl Scout Jamboree and they presented a plaque to thank the City for letting them use Menard Park. He asked City Clerk Martinez to hang it in City Hall and she agreed she would. City Attorney Reports - City Attorney Alvarez stated that last Thursday they had a pre-trial conference in the Montesano case and the City filed a motion for clarification and delin- eation of issues but the plaintiff wasn't prepared so it was taken off the trial calendar with no specific future date. City Attorney Alvarez stated they had a hearing scheduled on the Cichewicz litigation for a motion to dismiss and the attorney who was indicated for the plaintiff is no longer on the case so the motion was rescheduled for next month. City Attorney Alvarez stated that regarding the Caldwell suit, he's presented the City with a request for rezoning of his property and a proposed site plan. He said he's given it to the new Planner and he thinks it will be on the Planning and Zoning Board agenda for May 1st. He pointed out they're looking for a higher density than R-l. He said the City won the motion for summary judgement which eliminated the danger of high damages in excess of one million dollars, but the issues remain open, and the case was administratively closed by Judge Sharpe of the Middle District. He said they'll wait to see what happens with the rezoning and it could be a compromise if it's approved, but it has to stand on its own merits. City Attorney Alvarez stated they've been negotiating with the County on the lifeguard situation at Menard-May Park and an answer was received that day. City Clerk Martinez read the letter into the record, which advised the County Council refused to enter into an agreement with the City to provide lifeguard services, but that the County would assist the City in the selection process for a lifeguard, would train the individual selected in one of the regularly scheduled classes of Beach Safety Division, and would provide a recommendation on equipment needed to operate a city lifeguard program at the Park. City Attorney Alvarez pointed out the Beach Safety Supervisor will be advised of this in case the City decides to implement a lifeguard service. Councilman Asting pointed out the other beaches in Volusia County are furnished lifeguards by the County and the City has to pay for it, and it's a public beach. Mayor Baugh said he'll contact the County representative for our area and suggested the Council members contact the County Council. City Clerk Martinez stated that their policy in the past has been not to have lifeguards other than at the ocean. She suggested it go back on the May 5th agenda because there are a lot of calls about swimming. Mayor Baugh agreed. City Attorney Alvarez noted this letter is a result of hours with the County Attorney and members of the County insurance staff. He advised Council to try to change the County Council's minds in addition to working at a solution of their own. Mayor Baugh agreed they'd try to come up with some answers by the next meeting. City Attorney Alvarez stated the County Attorney's office argued about the liability even though he was told the City will provide it, and he expressed concern about precedence being set. He referred to how the lifeguard program came into being at the County level, and said the County wants to give it back to the cities. -4- Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 1986 o o COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued) City Attorney Reports (Continued) - City Attorney Alvarez stated he has a full package on the impact fees and he recommended before the Thursday meeting that Council members review the memo from Dick Kelton, who's the Director of Development and Code Administration to the County Council, delineating some of the problems and the proposed ordinance and agreement. He said the pending issues are the fee will be on all building and development activity and it will be assessed on the basis of quadrant, using the Fire quadrants as the boundary, and there will be four different accounts. He pointed out the monies collected in a quadrant will be spent in that quadrant. He said the amount of the fee was subject to a lot of debate and it was discussed that the City collect the fee and send it to the County, but the County didn't address the problem of incorrect fees collected by the City. He said they talked about the developer going to the County to pay his fee and then he'd go back to the City to pull the building permit, with that receipt from the County. He said the priority of who will get what in the quadrant was discussed and there was a suggestion of an advisory group of building officials or someone to advise the priorities. He added the County Council is taking the heat from the public so they feel they should have control of the budget and expenditure of funds. He said the cut off date for ongoing projects is April if it's in the pipeline and to receive a building permit by July 1. He added that May 1st is the public hearing and enactment date. Councilman Asting said he understands the money is to be spent on County roads only and not within the City and the County road leading to and from here would be Park Avenue west of the City's line. He noted that 442 is a State road and then they have U.S.l and 95. Councilman Inman questioned if 30th Street is a County street and there was a discussion about the portion that is. Councilman Asting noted the City gains nothing. City Clerk Martinez pointed out it takes City staff time to respond to complaints. Mayor Baugh suggested they oppose it on May 1st. City Clerk Reports - City Clerk Martinez said they're recelvlng notices to go to seminars and schools too late to get on the agenda and there's one from the Association of Environmental Analysts which Dennis Norman requested a check for $71 to attend on May 16 in Tampa.

City Clerk Martinez stated that Al Davis and Marty Berge requested a special meeting with Council to discuss a presentation and for a question and answer session regarding a 130 acre tract of property south of Edgewater, bounded by U.S.l and the inland waterway. She suggested April 24th at 2:00 P.M. It was agreed to meet that date and time. Mr. Al Davis was in the audience and agreed also and thanked the Council. City Clerk Martinez stated a purchase order was sent for three sets of the 1985 Florida Statutes and 1986 Supplement and they received a notice they wouldn't ship without the money and she asked Council authorization to cut a check for $165. Councilman Asting so moved. Councilman Prater seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. City Clerk Martinez stated they received a recommendation and memo regarding the annexation fee and she suggested the $300 fee be implemented and the City Attorney to draw up an ordinance updating the annexation procedure previously adopted administratively to include the $300 fee.

Councilman Prater withdrew his motion and Councilman Rotundo withdrew his second. Councilman Prater moved that it be just a resolution. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion.

Planning & Zoning Board recommendations to add auction service (excluding anything licensed), recreational business, and churches (from Indian River Boulevard to 30th St.) as permitted uses in B-2 zone - City Clerk Martinez noted that the Assistant Planner added that the churches in B-2 be only as a Special Exception to control traffic and parking. Councilman Asting so moved that the churches be included as special exceptions in B-2 only and accept the other two. Councilman Prater seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Mayor Baugh asked to instruct the City Attorney to draw up the necessary papers to make the changes. City Attorney Alvarez asked if they're amending it as a special exception in B-2 and City Clerk Martinez said it was recommended as a permitted use. City Attorney Alvarez pointed out the Council is overriding the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board. Mayor Baugh clarified it's only on the one item as recommended by the Planner. Parks and Recreation Board - Resignation of Barbara Curry - Councilman Asting moved to accept Mrs. Curry's resignation and to send her a letter of thanks for her service on the Parks and Recreation Board. Councilman Inman seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.

She pointed out the Board has no purchasing authority and it would have to be the Director. Mayor Baugh said the recommendation should be the Parks and Recreation Director should have the authority to get it cleared. Mr. Tom Sheridan, Chairman of the Board, who was in the audience, said he thinks it was a typographical error and the intent was to ask the Council to take it from the table and discuss it because the Board has no authority to do this. Councilman Inman moved to remove it from the table. Councilman Prater seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Councilman Asting pointed out the Parks and Recreation Director is the one to go out and look for a company to clear the land and bring it back to Council because they're responsible for the disbursement of City funds. City Attorney Alvarez noted this is a request for the purchasing of services, i.e., the land clearing company, and asked why it wouldn't go through the administration and the regular purchasing procedure. Mayor Baugh said it would be through the Director. There was a discussion of the standard pro- cedure. Mayor Baugh suggested David Garrett can get prices to clear it and see what needs to be done and then go to the City Clerk for concurrence. Mayor Baugh requested a motion to turn it over to the City Clerk for her to get with David Garrett and take whatever action necessary. Councilman Rotundo so moved.

She suggested they pay for the animals the Animal Control Officer takes, and the February bill be paid for $575 which would be minus brought ins and County residents.
