EFFECTIVE DATE. Mayor Baugh asked for public input.
Reverend Roger D. Miracle, 2121 Willow Oak, pastor of Friendship Baptist
Church, spoke on the lengthy process of getting this change made. He referred
to the various boards he'd been sent to during this process. He questioned
why the recreational business and auction service were allowed to operate
their businesses when he was told not to proceed until this was approved. He
commented on the delay from the City Attorney's office and that he was told
the delay was due to its being tied in with the other two items. He asked
if it's fair that the other businesses were allowed to operate when he wasn't
to go ahead. Mayor Baugh ageed it's not fair and said when he found out they
were going into business without the proper paperwork, he instructed the Code
Enforcement Officer to shut them down, but he's not sure of what was done.
Reverend Miracle again stated this entire process was confusing and he feels
the church meets the criteria as a permitted use in B-2. He asked the members
in the audience who supported this to stand up and several people stood.
Mayor Baugh asked for Council comments and there were no comments from Council.

MISCELLANEOUS
Robert H. Christy, 1916 Evergreen Drive, spoke on the chlorine in the
water, and pointed out money was put aside for a chlorine plant to be
built near Florida Shores but it was never done and water keeps getting
worse. Mayor Baugh referred to the locations of the new wells and said
he'd received calls over the week-end and had talked to Terry Wadsworth
who then called the people to explain to them why it was like that.
Councilman Asting noted that the present wells are straining to provide
enough water because of the increased growth in population and they
hope to have a good supply of clean, treated water. Mr. Christy referred
to the newspaper article that linked too much chlorine with cancer. He
then asked if Briley, Wild is still the engineering firm and City Clerk
Martinez said no, it's Dyer, Riddle, Mills and Precourt. Mayor Baugh
added that Frank Marshall is the engineer. Councilman Asting noted that
samples of our water are sent to the New Smyrna Beach testing lab to make
sure the D.E.R. requirements are met. There was a discussion about the
dechlorination system that was later on the agenda.
Joe Marosi, 1819 Evergreen Drive, stated his water is terrible because
the end of the street is plugged off. He asked why they can't run it
somewhere else. Mayor Baugh noted there are several dead end lines in
that area and they have to clean them out but they don't have the water
right now to keep flushing them. Mr. Marosi said someone might get sick or
they could get sued. Mayor Baugh suggested that City Clerk Martinez check
for some tests to be run there.
Ray Richards, Needle Palm, asked that his representative speak for him and
Council did not object. Cecil Jefferson Goodrich, Jr., 439 Hidden Pines,
New Smyrna Beach, stated he works at the Real Estate Store on Indian River
Boulevard. He passed out to Council a sketch of the area where the alley
way is, and said the Richards don't want to vacate the alley but to trade
the existing alley or easement for what is now an easement or alley behind
their store. He added they want to trade with the one north and south that's
west of their building to one east and west of their building. He said
from the survey markers is about 16 foot and there was a question about
semi's being able to make a right hand turn if they used the alley or easement
behind the building. He explained how they would have to maneuver the turns.
Councilman Asting asked for clarification of the location of what they want
to trade for the alley and Mr. Goodrich said it would be to the east of the
present alley. Councilman Asting asked about the areas marked off on the
sketch and Mr. Goodrich said one's for a cooler, and one is an extension of
the laundromat. Councilman Asting noted that the present alley has access to
Indian River Boulevard and Mr. Goodrich agreed. Councilman Asting noted the
proposed one would have an entrance off Hibiscus and Mr. Goodrich agreed.
Mr. Goodrich asked the Council members to go down and look at the survey
stakes.
Councilman Asting asked for a legal oplnlon about a trade. City Attorney
Alvarez said his first impression was that even though it's a trade off,
the platted alleyway would have to be vacated. He noted there are two
obstacles, one is the wisdom of doing what's requested and his advice to
Council is for matters such as this they should assess it with opinions of
the staff, the planner, the City Engineers, the traffic people, etc., and
then for the legal aspect they follow Section 112 of the Charter which sets
forth the vacating of any right of way. He said they'll need to vacate the
alleyway and the new or proposed alleyway will need a legal description and
a deed to the City. Mr. Goodrich said the Richards are willing to give by
deed that rear part of the property they're talking about. City Attorney
Alvarez pointed out they'll have to amend the plat of Florida Shores because
it's a plat of record in the County and it shows certain public rights of way
and alleys and they'll be amending that plat to accomplish this request.
Councilman Asting asked if they have to vacate the entire alley and submit a
new plat. City Attorney Alvarez said he'd like to see the actual areas
involved. City Clerk Martinez said the alley runs the full length of Florida
Shores. Mr. Goodrich said this is the only area that has an alley and Mayor
Baugh noted there's one more. City Clerk Martinez pointed out this separates
the commercial from the residential area.

MISCELLANEOUS (Continued)
Ray Richards and Cecil Jefferson Goodrich, Jr.(Continued) -
There was a discussion about the zoning in the areas and the total amount
of what's to be traded. Mayor Baugh noted he'd looked at it and the
telephone pole is within the easement of the alleyway. Councilman Asting
asked how the other residents along the alley north of the property feel
about this and Mr. Goodrich said the tenants come in that way anyway.
Mr. Goodrich noted they'd paved the alley behind the store. Councilman
Asting asked what the alley behind the store is used for now and Mr. Goodrich
replied it's for loading and off loading. Mayor Baugh agreed it's used as
an alley now. Mr. Richards stated the garbage truck and the meat truck use it.
There was further discussion about ability of vehicles to turn around in that
area, and paving of the area. Councilman Inman stated that he'd met with these
gentlemen. He referred to the 15 foot square area. Mayor Baugh noted it's
151 feet plus the 15 feet. Councilman Inman said unless they get permission
from him to get into the alleyway, they can't go on his property. Mayor Baugh
said if they extend this drive behind the store to include the 15 foot easement
or alley, it would be 151 plus 15 feet. Mr. Richards agreed that would be
fine for him. Mayor Baugh said he didn't want the alley blocked off. Mr.
Goodrich said they have a 10 foot setback for a possible lease office space and
asked if he could get some type of variance from the existing or if he'd have
to draw back another 10 feet if the City owned the property. City Clerk
Martinez replied that she thinks it's the property line. Mayor Baugh pointed
out it would have to go through the Building Department and Legal Department.
Mayor Baugh asked if Mr. Richards would be responsible for the changing and
Mr. Richards agreed he would. Mayor Baugh pointed out they need the survey for
the legal end of it. Mayor Baugh and Mr. Goodrich pointed out on the map
where the area would be.
Councilman Inman stated they don't want to get involved in a dead end alley
again and they want clear access if they're going to make a right hand turn.
City Attorney Alvarez noted that a question about if a variance can be obtained
came up and a variance can only be requested when there's a hardship and the
hardship is on the land itself, and not the hardship caused by the desire or
designs of construction of the land owner. Mr. Goodrich said he understands
that. City Attorney Alvarez asked if the presently marked platted alley used
for parking is the property in question and Mr. Richards replied yes.
City Attorney Alvarez asked if it'll be open to traffic if they're going to
pave it. Mr. Richards said he'll put gas pumps there and he's going to pave it,
and to pave the extra 15 foot would make it better and keep the sand out.
City Attorney Alvarez asked why they want to vacate it because it's still an
alley, and Mr. Richards said he was told he couldn't put signs to the gas pumps
through City property. City Attorney Alvarez noted it won't be used for the
public any more, and the same setbacks will be on the alleyway, and they need
to follow the Charter provisions and have it duly advertised and get recommendations
from the staff. City Clerk Martinez noted it went to the staff previously.
Mayor Baugh said they didn't know where the survey was.
Councilman Asting asked for clarification on the map if they come off Hibiscus
and make a turn and Mr. Goodrich showed him the plan. Councilman Asting noted
they're asking for 145 feet instead of 160 feet and Mr. Goodrich agreed.
Councilman Rotundo moved to turn this over to City Clerk/Administrator Martinez
and the City Attorney to figure out what they could do with this matter.
Councilman Asting seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES
City Council Reports - There were no reports from City Council members.
City Attorney Reports - City Attorney Alvarez stated that his report will
be under item 9.B. on the agenda regarding the status of the Library site,
and the Council may wish to bring it up on the agenda. Mayor Baugh said he
will suggest it after they get through with the reports.

COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued)
City Clerk Reports - City Clerk Martinez stated she needs Council authori-
zation to cut a check for those who wish to attend the Volusia League of
Municipalities dinner on Thursday, June 26th at Indigo and hosted by the
City of Daytona Beach. Councilman Rotundo made that a motion. Councilman
Inman seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
City Clerk Martinez stated she received information from Volusia County
Department of Development and Code Administration regarding the road impact
fee legislation. She noted they sent another interlocal agreement between
the County and City. She said there's a meeting at 2:00 P.M. on Tuesday to
form a formula from Volusia League of Municipalities to direct to the County
prior to adopting this ordinance on Thursday. She pointed out one of the
sections in the recent letter is that the agreement provides that if it's
determined a permit was issued without the fee being paid that the City will
issue a stop work order to remain in effect until the City receives proof of
the fee being paid. Councilman Asting moved that they return the materials
received from Dick Kelton with a cover letter that the City of Edgewater
non-concurs with the County road impact fee. Councilman Rotundo seconded the
motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
City Clerk Martinez stated that she and Chief Schumaker discussed the problems
in the Police Department about dollars for the patrolmen. She suggested a
Special Meeting and Workshop for discussion in more detail. She noted a
memo had been provided and she suggested a meeting on the 19th at 3:00 P.M.
No Council member expressed an objection to that date and time.
Mayor Baugh asked to move item 9.B., Status report of Library site, up to
this point on the agenda, and there were no objections from Council.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Status report of Library site - City Clerk Martinez stated there were three
items requested from Council, one was the question of , vacating Alamanda and
it appears this was vacated from the Boulevard south with a copy of that
ordinance in their packet. She stated the City Engineer reviewed the feasibility
of bridging the canal and it's enclosed in the packet also. She noted the
third item was an appraisal which the City Attorney has. Councilman Asting
noted that the bridging of the canal could be done in the future and it
wouldn't have to be done immediately. He suggested they might put in a foot
bridge to be used by bicyclists and pedestrians for Edgewater Drive.
City Attorney Alvarez noted the appraisal was done and he met with the repre-
sentative from Florida Shores. He said the appraisal was at $45,500 and was
conducted by Charles A. Armstrong with his method of appraisal being comparable
sales in the area considering approximately seven building sites. He added
that the representative stated it's a bargain price to begin with so there
wasn't much to negotiate on this matter. He said the steps for closing of
the property would be according to the procedures that Florida Shores utilizes
for its lots, which would be deeds coming out of Miami when the money is put up.
Mrs. JoAnne Sikes, 125 East Palm Way, co-chairman of the land search and
building committee for the Library, said they looked at a lot of sites and the
offer of $45,000 for 1.58 acres came from Donnie Williams. She said their main
concern was the traffic and Indian River Boulevard needs a turning lane whether
they have the Library there or not. She referred to fewer accidents in places
where they have a turning lane. She pointed out it's a valuable piece of land
and meets the criteria and she'd recommend buying it. Mayor Baugh noted that
the turning lane could be done by D.O.T. and he doesn't feel there will be a
problem with getting it. Mrs. Sikes noted that bridging the canal was a
suggestion and not a stipulation. Mayor Baugh asked if this location is
acceptable to the members of the Board and Mrs. Sikes said it was their third
choice and the others were larger.
Councilman Asting moved to proceed with the purchase of this land as a future
Library site. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion. City Attorney Alvarez
asked about the $45,000 price and Mayor Baugh agreed, unless they could get it
for less. Councilman Rotundo asked if they get the 50 feet on Alamanda and City
Clerk Martinez said they split it with the abutting property owner. Mayor Baugh
said it would be 25 feet and maybe they'd donate the whole 50 feet. Motion
CARRIED 4-0.

COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued)
Building Official/Code Enforcement Officer's Request for additional
personnel in Planning Department (Tabled 6/2/86) - Mayor Baugh asked
Councilman Inman for a motion to remove this from the table. Councilman
Inman declined because they still don't have a full Council. He added
that he didn't stipulate that at the last meeting when he made the other
motion to table the personnel for the Parks and Recreation Department for
a full Council. He said he anticipated a full Council but they don't have
one so he wants to leave it on the table until they get a full Council present.
Utilities Department's recommendation on bids for de-chlorination system
(From 6/2/86 Meeting) - City Clerk Martinez stated there was only one bid
and Terry Wadsworth recommends the Council accept it as it's reasonable and
acceptance is in the best interest of the City. She added that he states it
meets all specifications. Councilman Inman recommended they adopt this bid
for $4,920 from Chlorinator Services, Inc. for the best interest of the City
of Edgewater. Councilman Asting seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
Parks and Recreation Department - Opening of bids for paving entrance road and
parking lot at Park and Pier - City Clerk Martinez stated that bids were
received from the following: ILA; Towers Construction Company; Martin Paving
Company; Halifax Paving, Inc.; and D & W Paving, Inc. She opened the bids and
read the totals: ILA - $41,808; Towers Construction Company - $29,760; Martin
Paving Company - $21,185; Halifax Paving, Inc. - $35,503.50; and D & W Paving,
Inc. - $26,700. She suggested these be turned over to David Garrett for his
review and recommendation back to Council. Councilman Asting so moved. Council-
man Inman seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
Parks and Recreation Department - recommendation for possible sites for parks -
City Clerk Martinez read the June 11th memo from David Garrett in which he
recommended two other suitable locations for parks rather than Woodland Drive,
which are larger and on corner lots and not on canals. She noted that the Parks
and Recreation Board voted 4 to 1 to back up Mr. Garrett's recommendations on
these two pieces of property.
Councilman Asting said he's not familiar with these two locations and he'd
like to go out and look at them before they make a decision. Mayor Baugh agreed.
City Clerk Martinez suggested a full Council be involved for a decision of this
nature and Mayor Baugh agreed.
Sid Corhern, Woodland Drive, spoke in favor of the Woodland Drive site, noting
the number of children needing a place to play. He pointed out that swings and
playground equipment are across from City Hall and they're just few feet from
deep water, so the safety regarding the canal should not enter into it. He
also stated that only a small child would drown in that canal, and when they're
that young, they should be with a parent.
Mayor Baugh asked Councilman Asting to TABLE this to go out and look at it and
for a full Council and Councilman Asting agreed. Councilman Rotundo seconded
the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
Public Works Department's request for lease purchase agreement for steel wheel
roller - City Clerk Martinez read her June 12th memo in which she recommended
this purchase be made. She noted the City Attorney reviewed it but there's a
date problem for the final payment in September and it should be October to
budget the balance of the final payment in the new budget. She said they'd pay
for it and receive it in October and the entire amount of rent would apply to
it. Councilman Asting asked if it should be changed from September to October
and City Clerk Martinez replied yes, and change the other date. She then
requested a motion for the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the necessary documents
with those changes. Councilman Asting said with the changes, he so moved.
Councilman Inman seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0.

COUNCIL/OFFICERS REPORTS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES (Continued)
Parks and Recreation Board's request to conduct study and formulate
policy to acquire, develop and maintain open spaces, parks and recreational
areas (From 5/19/86 Meeting) - Councilman Asting moved to take this from the
table. Councilman Inman seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
Councilman Asting stated his main objection to this item is that he feels
they're overstepping their function, which is to advise Council on matters
concerning parks and recreation areas. He said the correspondence requests
they formulate policy to acquire, which is a Council function, and to develop
and maintain open spaces, and that's Council's function and City adminis-
tration's function. He said he doesn't go along with the correspondence in
this present form and recommended it be denied. Mayor Baugh asked if they
want to return it for another letter with the intent to recommend to Council
and Councilman Asting replied yes, because he thinks they're overstepping
their functions.
Tom Sheridan, Willow Oak Drive, spoke as Chairman of the Parks and Recreation
Board. He asked Councilman Asting if the Council has a policy for developing
and Councilman Asting said no, and they're willing to listen, but the memo
says they'll formulate the policy and acquire and that's a Council function.
Mr. Sheridan stated that's not what the memo meant at all, and it's like a
procedure to follow down the line. Mr. Sheridan stated that the authorization,
if granted, will be turned over to Council for approval and implementation
and they're not trying to take power from Councilor anyone. There was further
discussion about the intent of the memo. Mr. Sheridan referred to Ordinance
82-0-17 dated May 17, 1982, and read excerpts from it regarding the establish-
ment of the Parks and Recreation Board and its duties. There was further
discussion between Councilman Asting and Mr. Sheridan regarding the intent
of the memo. City Attorney Alvarez said it's a matter of semantics as to what
the Board intended and the manner in which it was put on paper. Councilman
Asting agreed he'd consider other recommendations advising Council. Mr.
Sheridan stated if they have a standard procedural policy and do it in sequence
they'll have a more efficient Board. City Attorney Alvarez noted that the
way it's written, it could be the ordinance would need amending. Mr. Sheridan
said he thinks everything in the letter is contained in the ordinance. City
Attorney Alvarez said he hasn't read the ordinance but from the communication,
then they have the authorization. Mr. Sheridan said they want to make a study
and turn it over to Council. He then referred to an M.O. used in the military.
Councilman Asting moved to refer it back to the Parks and Recreation Board for
rewriting or clarification. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion. Councilman
Asting noted they had a similar situation with a previous Council that took a
lot of authority the Council has for governing the City and it caused confusion,
and action by the board caused a lawsuit against the City. Motion CARRIED 4-0.
COMMUNICATIONS
Petition requesting 27th Street be paved or kept in better condition - City
Clerk Martinez stated there was a petition with 81 names. Mayor Baugh pointed
out this street was removed from this year's project and put on next year's.
Councilman Inman reviewed how he received the petition at his home and that he'd
talked to the Public Works Superintendent about it. He then reviewed the process
of scraping the roads. He suggested the roads in that area be placed on the
program for the next budget year. Mayor Baugh assured him it was.
Adolph Slapnik, 2709 Fern Palm, said he instigated the petition, and they feel
they're trapped there and want something done. He said he noticed roads are
scraped more frequently but they'd like it paved because it's a main artery
from the west side to Route 1 with heavy trucks and a lot of traffic. Councilman
Inman suggested that Mr. Slapnik call him whenever service isn't up to par.
City Clerk Martinez referred to the speeding problem there.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Paving request for Evergreen Drive and other short streets (From 6/2/86 Meeting) -
City Clerk Martinez stated they have a memo from Earl Copeland which lists the
streets as Evergreen Drive north of the Boulevard; Coco Palm north of the Boulevard;
Date Palm north of the Boulevard; and New York on the south end. for a total of
1,147 feet. She noted that the streets previously selected were advertised and
it's too late to include them in the current bids but they could add them to
the 1987 project list or have a paving assessment for just the 1,147 which would
be very costly for the City.
Councilman Asting moved to add the additional 1,147 feet to the 1987 program.
Councilman Inman seconded the motion. Councilman Asting suggested they might
be able to get whoever gets the bid to put the pavement down to add that 1,147
feet. City Clerk Martinez said they have to amend the role to incorporate these.
Councilman Rotundo asked if it's all new construction and City Clerk Martinez
replied yes. Councilman Asting asked about the Community Development Block
Grant and Mayor Baugh replied it's for recapping and this is new construction.
Mayor Baugh said he feels bad about this and if it's put on next year's budget,
it should be the number one priority.
Joe Marosi, 1819 Evergreen Drive, said they were promised since 1983 that it
would be done and each year they move it ahead and it's not right. He stated
they have money for parks but not streets. Mayor Baugh clarified the parks
are under a grant.
Councilman Rotundo said if there's any money left on this year's budget to
do these road, they could go ahead and do them, and he asked if they can
incorporate it. City Clerk Martinez asked if they want a second assessment
program before October 1st and Mayor Baugh replied there's no enough time.
Motion CARRIED 4-0.
