Mr. King advised that he was working at the St. Johns County Building Department. Vice Mayor England explained that if there was a subject that came up that was a conflict of interest, he would have to recuse himself from voting. Mr. King advised that he would. Mayor George asked if St. Johns County had any issues with him joining the Board. Mr. King advised St. Johns County has no problem or conflict with him volunteering. 3 Motion: to appoint Mr. King to the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board.

He thanked Police Chief Hardwick for his military dedication for himself and for supporting his staff members in the military. He then presented him with the Patriot A ward plaque. Mayor George thanked Police Chief Hardwick for all he does for the citizens of the City. E. Five-Year Transportation Improvement Plan by Ms. Wanda Forrest, North Florida Transportation Planning Organization Mayor George introduced Item VIII.E. and asked Ms. Wanda Forrest from the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization (NFTP) to come to the podium. Ms. Forrest, North Florida Transportation Planning Organization, 980 N. Jefferson Street, Jacksonville, FL, gave her presentation to the Commission. Discussion ensued regarding the project from CR 207 to South Holmes Boulevard being completed by 2022 and the extension project from CR 312 to CR 313. After a request from the public, Mayor George asked the Commission if they would be willing to hear public comments, which is normally not done under the Presentation section. Commission agreed. Mayor George opened the Public Comment section and the following addressed the Commission: Ed Slavin, P.O. Box 3084, St. Augustine, FL, advised that he was not in support of managed lanes and the CR 313 extension project because it would threaten the water supply and the environment. Rose Bailey, 403 A Street, St. Augustine Beach, FL, advised that she was not in favor of taxation without representation regarding tolls because it was unconstitutional. Mayor George closed the Public Comments section and moved on to Item 1. IX. PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. Embassy Suites Hotel, 300 A I A Beach Boulevard: Request for Modification to Final Development Plan for Water Slide (Presenter: Mr. Brian Law, Building Official) 5 Mayor George opened the Public Hearing and introduced Item 1. She asked Building Official Law to give his report. Mr. Law advised this was a post-permit change to the final development order for Embassy Suites and the Commission has final approval. He explained the interactive water feature would be 28.4 feet, which was allowable as a building structure; however, the City's code does not address interactive water feature such as slides. He explained that the slide would be well within the setbacks of the property. Discussion ensued regarding the procedures on whether to swear in the witnesses, except for the attorneys. City Attorney Wilson advised that he did not recommend swearing in the witnesses in this case. Cindy Laquidara, representing Akerman LLP, the applicant, 50 North Laura Street, Suite 3100, Jacksonville, FL, explained that the final development plan was approved and Embassy Suites Hotel was built as a family-friendly environment. She commented that Embassy Suites Hotel wanted to install a water slide, similar to what the previous owners were allowed to have. She explained that the slide was an accessory structure to the hotel in keeping with a family-friendly environment, which would be an amenity for the hotel guests. She remarked that the City's code addresses accessory structures and the slide could be built right on AlA Beach Boulevard if someone wanted to because the code did not prohibit it in commercial areas. She explained that there was an approved landscaping plan, which has not changed, that acts as a protective screening from AlA Beach Boulevard. She explained that the reason why she is representing her client was because there was a denial from the City's Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board, but the Board did not give a reason for the denial under findings of fact. She explained the City's code under Article VII says that accessories shall be permitted as required. She remarked that this modification was compliant to the setbacks, height, and there were no changes to the final development order, so it should be approved. She commented that if the Commission refuses or denies the modification, they have to give a reason why the slide would be non-compliant. She presented Exhibits 2 - 11, which explained the City codes and the landscaping buffer around the interactive water feature to the Commission. She concluded that the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board did not state any findings of facts and advised that there were no changes to the code, lighting, setbacks, or landscaping. Karen Taylor, Land Planner representing Embassy Suites Hotel, 77 Saragossa Street, St. Augustine, FL, presented her resume to the Commission and stated her qualifications. She explained that she has been an expert witness in several cases throughout Florida for rezonings and large developments (Exhibit 12). She commented that she was speaking as an expert on the design information, the requirements within the City's codes, interpretations that the staff has already made, and the confusion that she recognized at the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board meeting. She remarked that the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board denied the modification with no findings of facts or conditions within their motion. She advised that this was a post-permit modification within a commercial land use zoning and hotels and accessory uses are allowed. She advised that it meets the design standards, setbacks, 6 and impervious surfaces. She presented information regarding the accessory structure height (Exhibits 13 - 14) and explained that it was not a solid structure and could be seen through. She advised that the lighting would be compliant with the turtle nesting season and would be designed to all the human safety and hurricane codes. She explained that it was permitted by the Department of Environment Protection as a swimming pool. She remarked that Ms. Laquidara already explained the landscape buffering and summed up that this was an allowed land use, was a hotel accessory use, meets the design standards of the development code, meets the health and safety standards of the codes, and meets the regulations of the City of St. Augustine Beach. Commissioner O'Brien asked if this structure would be in the VE zone. Ms. Taylor advised yes, and the section of the City's code that applies to this was Section 6.0l.03(b) 4 (a) 3 and explained that the building height in the VE zone was from the finished grade, whether it was natural or filled. She explained that the finished grade was 15 .4 feet and the structure was above the finished grade. She advised that since this was not a building, it would not be measured underneath the ground. Mayor George asked if there was habitable space underneath this area. Ms. Taylor advised no. Mayor George asked if there was in the parking area. Ms. Taylor advised yes, in the parking area. Discussion ensued regarding the elevation of the area for the interactive water feature and what the code permits; how the code relates to the flood zone that the interactive water feature was in; and the parcel having two different flood zones. Attorney Thomas Ingram, Akerman LLP, 50 North Laura Street, Suite 300, Jacksonville, FL, advised that the playground was measured from the finished grade because it is not a building. He explained that the hotel was from the minimum habitable grade. Mayor George asked where in the codes does it say that the finished grade was the higher elevation rather than the lower elevation in the front of the property. Attorney Ingram advised that the City codes accept structural elements required by state law and in this case, the hotel had to be elevated to meet state building codes. He explained that the hotel had to comply with habitable space, but playground equipment does not need to meet that requirement because playground equipment was not a shelter. Mayor George advised that it did not answer the question of what the code says regarding what grade the playground should start from. 7 Attorney Ingram advised that the playground was not a habitable building, so the playground would not have to meet the requirement for habitable spaces. He remarked that the City's Charter included an exemption for any structural elements required by state law. He explained that state law required habitable floor be elevated to protect against storm surge. He commented that the City's ordinance states that if a property owner is in a VE zone and in the coastal construction control line, the height is to be measured by the natural or finished grade. Commissioner Samora advised that the interactive water feature is 28.5 feet from a finished grade of 15 .4 feet. He asked what the elevation was for A 1A Beach Boulevard in front of Embassy Suites Hotel or the adjacent parking lot. Attorney Ingram advised that he believed that it was between seven and nine feet on A 1A Beach Boulevard. He explained that the dunes were higher than A I A Beach Boulevard. Ms. Taylor advised that the front elevation would be lower, but the back elevation would be higher. Mayor George advised that the City codes does not deal with this issue on elevation. Ms. Taylor advised that the City codes do deal with the elevation because the code specifically lists in the flood maps from the City that the elevation could be measured by the natural or finished grade. Commissioner O'Brien asked if the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has approved the interactive water feature. Ms. Taylor advised yes. Commissioner O'Brien asked about the structure being east of the coastal construction line and whether DEP required posts so that the structure doesn't float away in a storm. He asked how the structure would comply with the wind in a hurricane. Ms. Taylor advised that the slide would have to meet the Florida Building Codes because it is a structure, so it would have to meet those standards. Commissioner Samora asked if they had a finished landscaping plan. Ms. Taylor advised no, but where the parking area is there will be a line of palm trees with vegetation under the trees. Attorney Ingram showed the approved landscaping plan on his iPad to the audience on the overhead projector. Discussion ensued regarding the landscaping on the north and east of the property; natural dune areas on the east of the property; whether there would be increased buffering around the interactive water feature; landscaping would have buffering on 8 the north side, but not on the beach side; and what was proposed on the original development plan instead of the interactive water feature. Ms. Taylor advised that the interactive water feature was not a pool, but water goes down into the surface and is impervious. She advised that the impervious surface did not change from the final development order. Mayor George asked if the interactive water feature area was supposed to be the events area in the final development order. Ms. Taylor advised that that was supposed to be on the south side. Attorney Ingram advised that there was still an events space. Vice Mayor England advised that she was concerned about traffic going around the comer of AIA Beach Boulevard off of SR 312 and was concerned for people seeing the interactive water feature and not paying attention to the light and crosswalk at that location. She advised it was a health and safety concern. She asked for a defined landscape buffer that would screen that distraction. Ms. Taylor advised that she would look into giving a more defined landscape plan as requested. Commissioner Kostka asked when the final development plan change. Attorney Ingram advised that Embassy Suites Hotel filed a modification a few months ago. He commented that there hasn' t been a change yet because the Commission has not approved it. He advised that the developer wanted to have the interactive water feature for a while and when he found out that the final development plan had to be modified, then he submitted the paperwork. Mayor George asked who prepared the rendering of the palm trees and asked him to come to the podium. Jake Stehr, Landscape Architect Designer, ZevCohen and Associates, Inc., 300 Interchange Blvd., Suite C, Ormond Beach, FL, explained how he made the rendering and what tools he used to put the features to scale. He explained that the rendering was not 100% accurate, but was within four feet. Mayor George commented that compared to the crane photo, it looks inaccurate. Mr. Stehr advised that the pictures are at different locations. He advised that it was based on the Google Maps and photos being placed by the software and models. Attorney Laquidara advised that this was done with math and there would be screening of the interactive water feature. 9 Commissioner O'Brien asked if there were palm trees added on the north side of the hotel. Ms. Taylor advised that yes, but that was what the plan always had been. She explained that the landscaping was above the City's standards and commented that the code addresses more screening of parking than of screening structures. Commissioner O'Brien advised that a few years ago the City participated in a grant for a scenic overlook on the north side of Pope Road and was wondering whether the palm trees would impact the scenic overlook. Ms. Taylor advised that it does show the scenic overlook on Pope Road. She explained that it would be screened, but it would be seen through palm trees. Mayor George asked Attorney Jane West, Chairperson of the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board if she had any information to present regarding the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board's decision. Attorney West presented a PowerPoint presentation of the final development plan photos, and renderings (Exhibits 15 and 16). She explained that the final development order had multiple swimming pools. She commented that Embassy Suites Hotel was eliminating the middle pool, which was important to the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board in 2015 because it looked attractive, serene, and resort like, not an interactive water park. She· advised that there was a lot of discussion on what the starting elevation should be for Embassy Suites Hotel. She explained that the difference in the 18-foot elevation was the finished floor elevation at which the Embassy Suites Hotel will be built, so the Commission needs to add 18-feet to the proposed interactive water feature. She explained that there was a Phase II (Exhibits 17) of the landscaping plans. She advised that the events area was on the north side by Pope Road, where the interactive water feature would be located if approved. She showed pictures of what the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board expected and approved for the final development plan. She then addressed what happened at the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board in regards to the findings of facts. She advised that the City is small and has informal procedures when it comes to the propositions or motions of findings of fact and conclusions of law. She advised that the memorandum submitted to the Commission at this meeting summarizes the public hearing, which was done by her assistance, due to the fact that the minutes were not completed. She explained that the City Attorney asked what would be the legal basis for denying this modification if DEP calls it a pool. She explained that the City's code does not define an interactive water feature, so there were no criteria for the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board to refer to. She explained that the Florida Building Code did not define an interactive water feature as a pool until January 1, 2017. She commented that prior to that time an interactive water feature was not defined as a pool. She remarked that because the final development order in 2015 shows multiple swimming pools and that the Board's expectation was an actual swimming pool, not an interactive water feature. She explained that the basis of the denial was due to the elevation of the interactive water feature's height, which was not in compliance with the City's code. She explained that the approved final development plan states multiple pools and the modification has one 10 pool and the inactive water feature, which is not governed by the code and not in compliance with the text of the final development order that the Board approved. She apologized that the motion was not fully codified, but it was clear from the discussions of the Board. She then showed Exhibit 18 of the final landscaping plan. Mayor George opened the Public Comments Section. The following addressed the Commission and voiced to vote no on this modification: Jeff Sturtevant, 506 B Street, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Elise Sloan, 109 Sea Grove Main Street, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Mary Tevlin, 3660B Rosewood Street, St. Augustine, FL; Kate Ramsey, 285 Atlantis Circle, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Susan Thompson, 2420 Oleander Street, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Michele Park, 203 D Street, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Julie Campbell, 52 Magnolia Dunes Circle, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Bruce Wright, 118 15th Street, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Alex Farr, 3 7th Lane, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Carolyn Karger, 21 Sea Oaks Drive, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Jo Ellen Parkey, 3 Coquina Blvd., St. Augustine Beach, FL; Jody Hatten, 27 Sea Oaks Drive, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Ed Slavin, P.O. Box 3084, St. Augustine, FL; Don Paul, 255 Atlantis Circle, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Don Paul, 255 Atlantis Circle, St. Augustine Beach, FL; and Eddie Fleming, 5829 Mora Place, Elkton, FL. The following addressed the Commission and voiced to vote yes on this modification: Laine Blacker, 200 7th Street, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Donna Chapman, 130 Anastasia Lodge Drive, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Matt Woodruff, 300 AlA Beach Blvd., St. Augustine Beach, FL; Tim Kenny, 222 Amistad Drive, St. Augustine, FL; David Pierson, 384 High Tide Drive, St. Augustine Beach, FL; Tom Reynolds, 880 AlA Beach Blvd., St. Augustine Beach, FL; David Hanvey, 421 Ocean Forest Drive, St. Augustine Beach, FL; and Bill DeFeo, 113A 9th Street, St. Augustine Beach, FL. Mayor George closed the Public Comment Section. Attorney Ingram asked the Commission for a 15-minute break to discuss the issue with City Attorney Wilson. Mayor George recessed the meeting at 8:45 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 8:53 p.m. She then asked Attorney Ingram ifhe had comments. Attorney Ingram proposed to the Commission a supplemental landscaping plan of75% on the north boundary between the emergency turnaround and the west boundary to achieve 75% opacity within two years of planting to a height of 15 feet above grade. Mayor George asked Attorney Ingram if that was the extent of his proposal. Attorney Ingram advised yes. Attorney Laquidara cited Beck vs. Littlefield and advised that the actions of the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board cannot be exemplified by discussion in 11 front of the Commission. She explained that the motion and the second of the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board would be what is to be considered and cannot argued what they meant to say. She commented that as a legal standard the motion and the second would be what stands and advised that she was an expert. Mayor George asked which certification did Attorney Laquidara have. Attorney Laquidara advised it was in local government law. She explained that someone mentioned that the slide would be as large as the Commission room and the interactive water feature would be smaller than the Commission room. Mayor George asked for the dimensions of the pad. Attorney Ingram advised it would fit into a square of 55 feet x 55 feet, which is on the plans. Attorney Laquidara advised that there has to be a clear rule to apply to due process and the modification applies with the hotel and an accessory interactive water feature. Mayor George asked for further Commission discussion. Commissioner Kostka explained that what we have to remember as Commissioners was that the Commission represents the citizens of the City as well to protect and preserve the physical and financial aspects of our community. She reminded the Commission that the Commission just finalized changes to the sign code that are forcing our business owners to change the height of their signs to a lower height from what was already allowable. She commented that this hotel, as beautiful as it is, already changed the face of our community. She remarked that the addition or modification of this feature has not been supported overwhelmingly two to one. She advised that ifthis was important to the developers, they should have included it in the final development plan and not added this modification. She explained that this was not a change that could be undone and should fit in the community. She stated that the thought that just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Commissioner O'Brien remarked that it was not as important whether the Commission likes or dislikes a project, but whether it meets the City codes and ordinances. He advised that his main concern was parking because they do not have enough parking for the banquet room, the meeting room and the restaurant. He commented that the previous owner with the inflatable slide allowed people to use the slide, but worries if Embassy Suites Hotel does that there would be no parking for the public. He explained that even if Embassy Suites Hotel says they would not let the public in, there would be no enforcement to stop it. He advised that additional uses need additional parking and if the hotel already has a parking problem, then the problem is exacerbated. He commented that Embassy Suites Hotel would be out of compliance with the parking regulations as a result of the interactive water feature. He advised that the elevations and the height of the interactive water park needed to come down seven or eight feet to meet the height restrictions in the City. He requested a revised landscaping plan. 12 Commissioner Samora advised that he has some of the same concerns. He commented that there was minimum support for this feature by the community. He remarked that he would like to come to an agreement with Embassy Suites Hotel that would give more support from the community and works for the developer. He explained that this modification was a departure from the conceptual plans and the final development order that were presented to the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board. He advised that if this was brought to the Commission or the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board earlier in the process, it might have moved forward. He explained that he agrees with the issues of buffering and that a landscape plan needs to be modified. He also suggested that the height of the structure be modified. He proposed removing the structures that go above 20 feet, such as the bucket or other features that go on the slide. He explained that he would like this to go back to the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board for their recommendations if his suggestions were actualized. Vice Mayor England advised that she appreciated Attorney Ingram's proposal to modify the landscaping buffer to avoid the distractions of the interactive water feature because she was concerned over the health, safety and welfare of our tourists and citizens. She explained that this has come in front of the Commission without the official minutes of the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board and without findings of facts and other issues. She commented that she feels at a disadvantage not being able to see what the landscape plan was and the effect of the visual site of what the interactive water feature would be. She remarked that she does want Embassy Suites Hotel to be successful and the revenue would be good for the City. She explained that she hopes that Embassy Suites Hotel would be a good neighbor to our community and recommended to the applicant that they consider amending their application and giving the Commission more definite documentation that the Commission could actually work with. She commented that she would like to see drawings to show what it would look like before the Commission proceeds any further. She asked City Attorney Wilson if the Commission denies the modification, when could they come back with amendments. City Attorney Wilson advised that the applicant has 30 days to appeal to the court if the Commission denies the modification. He asked Building Official Law if this type of application have limits on the number of submittals. Building Official Law advised that he would have to research that before he could answer. He explained that if the Commission asks for certain documents and Embassy Suites Hotel was willing to provide those, then they could come back. Vice Mayor England advised that she would like to address the health, safety and welfare in the landscaping buffering plans before moving forward. City Attorney Wilson advised that the Commission has the ability to continue the hearing and ask for additional information that is needed or the Commission could send the modification back to the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board for review and recommendation. He explained that the Commission could also request from the applicant to make modifications to the documentation and bring this back to the next meeting. 13 Vice Mayor England advised that the Commission needs to make sure whatever decision is made that it could withstand an appeal. Mayor George asked Attorney Ingram what his client would agree to in response to the suggestions of Commissioner Samora' s requests. Attorney Ingram advised respectfully no. He summarized that Commissioner Samara's suggestion was to eliminate the tallest elements of the interactive water feature and advised that his client would not change that. Commissioner Samora advised that that would be a starting point. He explained that that would allow the applicant to use 95% of the equipment that was purchased. Attorney Ingram advised no, his client would not be willing to change that. Mayor George advised that she was hearing a consensus from the Commission and would like to make a motion. Motion: to deny the application based upon the finding of facts that the applicant has failed to sufficiently address parking concerns; failed to use sufficient screening to reduce the visual hazards along roadways and parking areas surrounding the site; that it failed to address sufficient landscaping plans; that there was evidence of visual impact on the surrounding environment; that hazards are proposed by the elements itself; that it presents an attractive nuisance to the community; that it is an substantial deviation from the final development order because the element was not conceived of constituting a pool as defined at the time of the final development order; that the photographic evidence was misleading; that the mass of the structure and elements sufficiently expand the silhouette and mass of the rest of the developed structure and therefore also constitutes substantial deviation from the final development order; and that it proposes usage incompatible with surrounding uses. Moved by Mayor George, Seconded by Commissioner Kostka. Mayor George asked for discussion from the Commission. Being none, Mayor George asked City Attorney Wilson if there were any other elements of the motion that he would point her attention to or that she might be overlooking. City Attorney Wilson advised that he would be able to fit the factual findings of Mayor George's motion into an order that would meet the code. Mayor George then requested a roll call vote. City Clerk Raddatz read the roll as follows: Mayor George Yes Vice Mayor England Yes Commissioner Kostka Yes Commissioner O'Brien Yes 14 Commissioner Samora Yes City Clerk Raddatz advised the motion passed 5 to 0. Mayor George welcomed Embassy Suites Hotel and wished them great success. She then moved on to Item 2. 2. Ordinance 18-08, First Public Hearing and Second Reading: to Adopt Changes to Article VI (Development Design and Improvement Standards) of the Land Development Regulations (Presenter: Mr. Brian Law, Building Official) Mayor George opened the Public Hearings and introduced Item 2. She asked Building Official Law to give his report. Mr. Law advised that he made the four changes that were previously discussed. He explained that he made changes to the Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR) rating for the Commission to review. He recommended that if the Commission does not want to change the code regarding the ISR, that the ordinance be moved forward for approval and then readdress that issue at a later date. He explained the updates proposed in the ordinance. Discussion ensued regarding whether to allow the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board to discuss the ISR information before moving forward with the ordinance; whether to proceed with keeping the percentages for the ISR the same, but to put a cap on the alternative porous material; having 15% coverage for pavers for low and medium densities and leaving commercial and high densities the same; relying on material data sheets for impervious pavers; and adding credit on the alternative porous materials. Building Official Law recapped the Commission's discussion to leave Section C alone, which is the cap of 15%, then restore Section D to the existing code and then move forward with the ordinance now and if there was a decision to modify the ordinance later the Commission could do so. Motion: to extend the meeting until 10:00 p.m. Moved by Mayor George, Seconded by Commissioner Samora. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor George asked Attorney Jane West, Chairperson of the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board, to address the Commission. Attorney West explained that she had no problem with moving forward with the Land Development Regulations; however, in the interim she advised that the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board has been trying hard to ask for help from other agencies regarding this issue. She respectfully requested that the Commission leave everything the same when it comes to the ISR's until the Board has a chance to address it. Vice Mayor England advised that she believed limiting the amount of alternative force material was good and if the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board wants to amend the ordinance further, then they could recommend changes later. She advised 15 that in the meantime there would be a reasonable stopgap for the interpretation of the alternative force material. Building Official Law asked whether the 15% cap would be implemented. It was the consensus of the Commission to keep the ordinance the same, except include the 15% cap on page 5. Building Official Law recapped the changes for the next hearing to be on page 5: low density would be 40%, medium density will remain 50%, high density and commercial will remain 70%, but the Commission agreed to the underlined sections in Section C. Mayor George opened the Public Comments Section. The following addressed the Commission: William Tredik, 24 Ocean Pines Drive, St. Augustine Beach, FL, advised that he agrees with keeping impervious surfaces at 40% and liked the cap of 15% because pavers get less pervious as time goes by. He asked if trees should be the only hardship case. Carolyn Karger, 21 Sea Oates Drive, St. Augustine Beach, FL, questioned the 15% cap and advised that she doesn't want to increase the amount of paving. She presented Exhibit 19. Building Official Law advised that the ordinance would be more restrictive to the code. Jody Hatin, 27 Sea Oats Drive, St. Augustine Beach, FL, asked the Commission to give the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board time to do the research because there was no urgency to adopt this. She asked to give more notice to the public. Joe Hatin, 27 Sea Oats Drive, St. Augustine Beach, FL, asked questions on why we need to change the ordinance and whether the changes would benefit the community and the quality of life of the residents. Sandra Krempasky, 7 C Street, St. Augustine Beach, FL, advised that she was not in favor of the change at this time and presented Exhibit 20. Ed Slavin, P.O. Box 3084, St. Augustine, FL, advised that he was not in favor of the changes and suggested Police Chief Hardwick be involved in development of projects. Thomas Thebo Jr., 3915 Gennessee, Kansas, MO, advised that when anyone alters the structure of the living thing, then the energy changes and advised that the system oflife was perfect. Margie Lasi, 46 Ocean Pines Drive, St. Augustine Beach, FL, asked that she does not want changes until the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board researches it. Mayor George closed the Public Comment Section and asked if there was any Commission discussion. 16 Discussion ensued regarding the public requesting to wait until the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board does more research and moving forward with the land development regulations. Mayor George asked for a motion. Motion: to approve Ordinance 18-08 with the change in low density IRS keeping it the same at 40% as reflected on page 5. Moved by Vice Mayor England, Seconded by Mayor George. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor George asked City Attorney Wilson to read the title of the ordinance. City Attorney Wilson read the title of the ordinance. Mayor George asked the Commission when they would like to continue this meeting. It was the consensus of the Commission to schedule the meeting on June 12, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. Mayor George moved on to Item 3. X. CONSENT 3. Budget Resolutions 18-06, 18-07 and 18-08: to Make Adjustments to the Fiscal Year 2018 General Fund and Road /Bridge Fund Budgets Mayor George introduced Item 3 and the CQ Florida Amateur Radio Week Proclamation. Being there was no discussion, Mayor George made a motion. Motion: to approve the Consent agenda items. Moved by Mayor George, Seconded by Commissioner O'Brien. Motion passed unanimously. XI. ADJOURNMENT Mayor George advised that there would be a continuation of this meeting tomorrow, June 12, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. Motion: to adjourn. Moved by Mayor George, Seconded by Commissioner O'Brien. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor George adjourned the meeting at 10:00 p.m. Undine C. George, Mayor 17 ATTEST: Beverly Raddatz, City Clerk 18 MINUTES CITY COMMISSION MEETING CITY OF ST.

CALL TO ORDER Mayor George called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m. II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Vice Mayor England led the Pledge of Allegiance. III. ROLL CALL Present: Mayor George, Vice Mayor England, Commissioner Kostka, Commissioner O'Brien, and Commissioner Samora. Also present: City Manager Royle, City Attorney Wilson, Police Chief Hardwick, Deputy City Clerk Fitzgerald, Building Official Law, and Public Works Director Howell. THE FOLLOWING IS CONTINUED FROM THE JUNE 4™ REGULAR MEETING IV. OLD BUSINESS 4. Mobile Pay for Parking System: Review oflnformation to Date and Ordinances to Implement First Phase, and Consideration of Related Matters (Presenter: Mr. Max Royle, City Manager) Mayor George introduced Item 4 and asked City Manager Royle for a staff report. City Manager Royle introduced Information Technology Specialist Anthony Johns. He stated that Specialist Johns would present to the Commission the technical aspect of this project. City Manager Royle also advised that there was an enforcement aspect, which will be discussed as proposed ordinances. Specialist Johns presented a PowerPoint on the City of St. Augustine's parking planning and implementation (Exhibit A) based on a meeting that was held on May rd 23 • He stated that St. Augustine utilizes nine city departments to manage their parking program: Finance, Customer Service, Parking, Information Technology, Mobility, Public Affairs, Public Works, Budget & Performance, and Visitor Services. Their FY 2018 budget had $1.5 million earmarked for this parking program. Specialist Johns identified $490,000 that would likely apply to what St. Augustine Beach is looking into. He advised that the biggest issue was the record retention. GS I-SL Item #398 requires citation records, including evidence and photographs, to be kept for five fiscal years after the case is closed. Specialist Johns stated that one of the vendors St. Augustine had chosen does not meet that requirement. 1 Specialist Johns reported that St. Augustine had chosen three vendors: Flowbird (formerly Parkeon) to handle physical kiosks, Passport to handle mobile application, and Genetec (through local integrator Miller Electric), which will handle the Automatic· License Plate Readers (ALPRs). He stated that this setup is very similar to what St. Augustine Beach has been looking at. One problem is that the kiosk and mobile vendors do not interact; someone cannot buy a ticket at a kiosk then add time later by mobile application. Drivers must use one or the other. They cannot influence each other's system. He reported that the organizational chart shows St. Augustine hosting the permit and parking space databases, however that information will actually be hosted by Passport. Removing St. Augustine from the chart leaves a hole that Genetec will glue it together with enforcement. Genetec will interact with both Flowbird and Passport, but Passport and Flowbird will not interact with each other. There is an issue with retention since Genetec only maintains license plate read records for one year, when five fiscal years are required. He stated that St. Augustine plans to transmit records from Genetec to external storage regularly. St. Augustine runs fiber optic cable to a Rackspace in Jacksonville to store large amounts of data. The ALPR is the largest data concern. Specialist Johns advised that St. Augustine already has a customer base and infrastructure in place, along with dedicated personnel, policies, and Standard Operating Procedures. Parking enforcement for St. Augustine is under their Finance Department to avoid conflict between Finance and Law Enforcement. They have a Parking Manager as overseer of the parking program, who appears to be Mr. Reuben Franklin, Mobility Manager. Their vendors have been selected and are already working on the program, but contracts have not been signed. They still need to determine how to handle data management for records and information requests and are referring to the City Attorney to advise. He stated that they have been working on this since 2017 and still have open questions. Specialist Johns advised that St. Augustine plans to implement this system by January 2019, without a residential permit program, and component systems from each vendor will be launched separately. He reported that the vendors do not expect this program to work perfectly immediately and that they recommended a four week burn in time of parking fee collection without enforcement of unpaid tickets to allow for troubleshooting of issues. Genetec has a six-week lead time for order on ALPRs and Passport reported a twelve to fifteen-week lead time Specialist Johns recommended waiting for St. Augustine to begin their program to allow them to work out the issues, since they have additional staffand funding, and use their policies as a model for our own. He stated that there are no cities currently that are doing mobile only, they all had a parking system in place. His recommendation for a second option was to implement a parking system without the ALPRs at first; he still suggested waiting until after St. Augustine implements their system. The third option was to continue with an accelerated plan, which was not recommended by City staff. Mayor George asked the Commission for any discussion. 2 Mayor George stated that it makes sense to not reinvent the wheel. She reiterated that St. Augustine is much larger than us with an established parking system and we could learn from them. She recommended not trying to force the expense of ALPRs, but they could use later revenue to help fund the expense. She supports following the lead of St. Augustine, so that we could implement in the early winter months before the tourist season, then implement ALPRs when staff recommends. Commissioner Samora asked how many vendors we may be looking at and ifwe could use a single vendor for kiosk and mobile. Specialist Johns reported that there were no vendors currently offering both kiosk and mobile, but Flowbird looked like they were working toward mobile in the future, so we would need at least two vendors. He advised that County Administrator Wanchick had suggested that St. Johns County was interested in a universal parking system. He also suggested that we could use a memorandum of understanding or interlocal agreement to share resources on the ALPRs. Commissioner O'Brien agreed with following St. Augustine's lead, but thought that the ALPRs were the key factor in moving forward with this system. Chief Hardwick stated that we still have some issues with our current parking to address, such as improving parking spaces and cleaning up antiquated ordinances to better identify areas where parking is allowed. He advised that there are alternative means to check license plates, such as hand-held units like St. Augustine uses or calling them into the Police Department. He reported that St. Augustine does not currently use ALPRs, they use enforcement officers on foot. There was discussion of the operation and benefits of an ALPR system, data retention, storage costs, and network infrastructure. Mayor George asked Specialist Johns for more infonnation later and to provide a timeline recommendation for when ALPRs could be integrated into our system. Vice Mayor England advised that this needs a dedicated project manager and she asked that Chief Hardwick and City Manager Royle designate that manager. She would like monthly reports from the manager. Each City department involved (Administration, Finance, I.T., Public Works, and Police) should have a line item plan with estimated completion dates and status, regular staff meetings between all departments, and to have representatives attend St. Augustine and St. Johns County parking meetings. The Commission moved to discussion of two proposed parking ordinances. City Attorney Wilson summarized the ordinances. The first would raise parking fines from $20 to $75, set handicapped parking violations at $250, and simplify the current parking code to regulate it by signage instead of ordinances listing individual streets. The second ordinance is to create a residential parking permit system. There was discussion on the first ordinance and the Commission asked that violators be allowed thirty days to pay citations to comply with Florida Uniform Traffic Code guidelines. Public Works Director Howell advised that having signs is the clearest way to identify parking areas, instead of having to go through the code to identify streets where no parking is allowed. He reported that many streets already have signage in place. 3 The Commission discussed the second ordinance on a residential parking system. There was clarification that streets would implement the residential plan when 60% of property owners on a block indicated their interest. Public Works Director Howell advised that the ALPR system would make this much easier to enforce. Vice Mayor England would like to know what potential problems could be, maybe look at the faults in St. Augustine's system for advice. She asked that City Attorney Wilson look at the use of terms in the ordinance, particularly "area" and "zone", and be sure that there is consistency in phrasing. Commissioner Kostka expressed worry that this is too complicated. She wants to be clear on areas that are no parking and residential permitted and to protect residents from unwanted or illegal parking. Public Works Director Howell stated that clarifying parking areas was long overdue. He advised signs at the start of the street stating, "parking by residential permit only" and that the use of hangtags or decals is cumbersome. There may be some issues still with transient rentals. He agreed that this system should be in place before paid parking is implemented. Chief Hardwick advised that there should be a traffic enforcement specialist in place. The Commission asked that the costs of that employee and training should be included in the FY 2019 budget and added to the parking project time line. Mayor George opened the Public Comment section. The following addressed the Commission: Ed Slavin, P.O. Box 3084, St. Augustine, FL, stated the following: he has not heard a business plan or cost analysis; agreed with fines and thirty days to payment tickets; thinks that requiring 60% of owners to approve parking is discriminating against renters; asked for City Manager Royle to resign; asked for market analysis of parking vendors. Tom Reynolds, 880 A 1A Beach Blvd, St. Augustine Beach, FL, stated the following: thanked Specialist Johns for his presentation; City needs to find 200 paid parking spaces; expenses for paid parking were too much; gave City Manager Royle credit for being more fiscally responsible than St. Augustine; liked raising parking fines; need volunteer PSAs. Mayor George asked Public Works Director Howell about his survey of costs for paid parking and he responded that the City would not lose money the first year. She asked that the parking project manager create a map for the public indicating parking and no parking streets. Mayor George closed the Public Comment section and asked for further Commission discussion. Being none, Mayor George moved on to Item 5. 5. Review of Proposed Changes to Article V of the Land Development Regulations: Resource Protection Standards (Trees) (Presenter: Mr. Brian Law, Building Official) Mayor George introduced Item 5 and asked Building Official Law for a staff report. Official Law reported that he simplified the Article and included the items the Commission had spoken about in previous meetings. He added one item from the 4 Planning Board, which was to regulate thirty-inch trees instead of just greater than thirty inches. He recommended removing the term "historic tree" and the Commission discussed removing the term. Official Law stated that declaring trees on private lots as "historic" could interfere with property ownership rights. City Attorney Wilson advised that if this was included in the code, it would need to be clearly defined and there would have to be a definitive basis doing so. The Commission agreed that the term should be removed, since trees that may qualify as "historic" would likely be thirty inches or more and as such already regulated under Article V. Mayor George asked for Official Law to make sure that that term did not offer greater protection in another location in the code. Mayor George asked the Commission for any discussion. Commissioner Samora had questions about Section 5.01 .05.A and the phrase "property owner or contractor". City Attorney Wilson advised that owners depend on contractors to do the work correctly and pull permits, saying after-the-fact permits are the responsibility of either offers some teeth for the actual violator, whichever party it may be. It also gets owners involved if the issue was caused by a renter. There was some discussion on clarification and purpose of this language. City Attorney Wilson suggested changing it to "and/or". Mayor George suggested that "or" could be used to skirt the tiered fine by a contractor saying a second offense is their first if the fine was paid by the owner. Building Official Law and City Attorney Wilson confirmed that violations would still be examined on a case-by-case basis. The Commission identified a few typographical errors. Building Official Law suggested that he may have applicants sign a copy of this code to keep on record. He pointed out the alternate mitigation plan on pages 9-10 and asked the Commission for discussion. The Commission agreed to use the first mitigation system to keep it simple. Mayor George opened the Public Comment section. Being none, Mayor George closed the Public Comment section and asked for further Commission discussion. Being none, Mayor George moved on to Item 6. 6. Land Development Regulations: Review of Possible Changes to Remaining Articles and Request for City Attorney to Draft Ordinance or Ordinances (Presenter: Mr. Brian Law, Building Official) Mayor George introduced Item 6 and asked Building Official Law for a staff report. Building Official Law advised that he did not recommend including Section 10.04.00, since it would stall government operation for thirty days. He stated that his staff uses their knowledge and experience ofthe code and conferences with applicants to address each case under this section. There is already an avenue for appeals in the code. Vice Mayor England suggested that staff interpretations of the code may cause larger issues later. Commissioner Kostka stated that it is a preventative measure to protect the City. 5 Building Official Law recommended to adopt Articles IV, X, and XII under one ordinance. City Attorney Wilson concurred. Mayor George asked the Commission for any discussion. Being none, Mayor George opened the Public Comment section. The following addressed the Commission: Thomas Thebo, homeless, stated the following: that trees should be measured by their potential growth and not the current size; delete "historic trees"; base removal on the use and rarity of the type of tree. Mayor George closed the Public Comment section and asked for further Commission discussion. Being none, Mayor George moved on to Item 7. 7. Drainage Projects at 121h Street/ 12th Lane, I st Street, and Sandpiper Drive: Request to Award Bid (Presenter: Mr. Joe Howell, Public Works Director) Mayor George introduced Item 7 and asked Public Works Director Joe Howell for a staff report. Public Works Director Howell passed out a memo dated June 4, 2018 (Exhibit B). This project was advertised for bid and the City received four responsible bids, of which Turnbull Environmental, Inc. at $290,000 for all three projects was the lowest bidder. The City does not have the funds to do all three at this point and is short about $10,000 on the $94,000 121h Street/121h Lane project alone. He recommended trying to find the funds for the 121h Street/12th Lane project for this fiscal year and adding the other two projects to the FY 2019 and/or 2020 budgets. He stated that pt Street and Sandpiper Drive drainage are currently being managed by pumping when necessary. He has not seen standing water at I st Street or Sandpiper Drive, but has seen standing water at I 2th Lane. He asked for Commission guidance before preparing a budget transfer. Mayor George stated that since there is a plan to manage I st Street and Sandpiper Drive for another season, his recommendation was sound. She asked if the City was equipped to manage those areas in a storm. Public Works Director Howell has been working on hurricane preparations. He reported that pumping was difficult last year since Sandpiper Drive lost power, the pump station has since been hardwired so that a generator could be plugged into it. He has been contacting equipment rental agencies to see what equipment they have available. Mayor George advised that she does not want to see a public health or safety hazard. Mayor George asked about Public Works Director Howell's confidence on having available funds for the remaining projects next year. He reported that he had several projects in the works including: the Mickler ditch for $400,000-$500,000; Mizell pond improvements at $120,000 for the first year, 75% of which would later be reimbursed; a new roof for city hall; and the new garbage truck which was deferred from last year at $250,000. Commissioner O'Brien commented that he felt there was a commitment to Ms. O'Toole on 1s1 Street to get the drainage improvements done. He asked if, for Sandpiper Drive, is renting pump equipment guaranteed by agreement? Public Works Director 6 Howell stated that he approached one rental company last year that wanted $7,600 to guarantee availability plus the actual rental costs. He advised that the City could rent equipment a week ahead of predicted stonn to have it sitting on our property. Mayor George asked if a lack of equipment was an issue before? Public Works Director Howell stated that we weren't renting generators, which were in high demand, and did not rent pumps immediately after the storm. When we went to rent pumps after the stonn, there was no issue and enough choice in equipment. He stated that he is not convinced the City needs to buy and keep pumps for the rare times they are needed. Commissioner O' Brien stated that he has seen Jacksonville Beach pump stonnwater out to the beach. Public Works Director Howell reported that DEP will allow that as long as there is no erosion, there was some ofthat at Ocean Trace Road. Mayor George asked what the delay in pumping was? Public Works Director Howell stated that the City was not as keyed into the issue on Sandpiper Drive or I st Street at the time. Mayor George asked if l st Street was an option for a natural bioswale like the Beautification Advisory Committee proposed. Public Works Director Howell reported that 1st Street was not a viable location and the Beautification Advisory Committee is moving forward with the project on Mickler Boulevard. Commissioner Kostka advised that there were budgetary restraints, so the Commission needs to prioritize projects. She stated that it seems like 1st Street and Sandpiper Drive have a temporary solution, whereas 12th Street/Lane does not. She agreed with moving forward at that location. Vice Mayor England suggested discussing drainage problems in combination with Item 12, the Tourist Development Tax funds. Public Works Director Howell reported that money is being spent on infrastructure projects. Commissioner Samora clarified that 1st Street & Sandpiper Drive projects had already been pulled forward from last year's budget. He asked that the City make sure those projects are budgeted next year. Commissioner O' Brien asked City Manager Royle to see if money could be moved from other funds for these projects. Mayor George agreed with working to find funds. She asked that staff come to the Commission with some options. Public Works Director Howell reported that there is $100,000 in resurfacing for Atlantic Alley and 6th through 9th Streets east of the Boulevard. He stated that those roads need it, but could be deferred. Commissioner Samora asked if the City could move forward with what we do have the funds for and find funding for the other projects. Public Works Director Howell stated that the City would need to move funds around for any of the projects. City Manager Royle agreed and stated that the transfers would need to be approved by the Commission. He suggested that the City could have the financials and budget resolutions at the July 2nd meeting. Commissioner Kostka reported that she is familiar with Atlantic Alley and said that resurfacing is not an immediate need. She agreed with using those funds for the drainage projects. Public Works Director Howell stated that he will speak with Turnbull Environmental, Inc. in the meantime. Mayor George opened the Public Comment section. The following addressed the Commission: 7 Jackie Kaye, 45 Sandpiper Drive, St. Augustine Beach, FL commented the following: she was watching the meeting on TV and drove in when her street came up; there was damage yesterday when five inches ofrain fell; she has been going to Public Works for two years now; people need to wear boots just to get the mail; she asked that the City find funds to fix the issue or leave pumps there; that the street is sinking by 6 Sandpiper Drive; and does not want this project put off for another year. Mayor George asked if Public Works had inspected the area after the rainfall. Public Works Director Howell stated that he did not receive a report. He spoke on the reported sinking that an area of the pavement is dropping due to the connection of a pipe to the inlet. He had planned for that fix to be added to the drainage project plan. Mayor George asked that Public Works Director Howell meet with City Manager Royle and CFO Bums to go through the City's financials for these projects. Commissioner Kostka asked that that area be added to a storm watch list. Thomas Thebo, homeless, commented on the following: suggested a drainage door with rocks underneath to let water out, the doors could be closed to collect water for fishing, frogs, and birds and could be around retention ponds; the Boy Scouts or homeless population could build it as a project. Mayor George closed the Public Comment section and asked for further Commission discussion. Mayor George moved on to Item 8. 8. Erosion Complaint, Mickler Ditch: Request by Ocean Walk Resident, Mr. Earl Ward, to Speak to the Commission (Presenter: Mr. Max Royle, City Manager) Mayor George introduced Item 8 and asked Public Works Director Howell for a staff report. Public Works Director Howell handed out a report from AGES of JAX, Inc. (Exhibit C), which was a geotechnical analysis ofthe property. He was distressed that the report was a recitation of facts and not any recommendations or conclusions. He spoke with the engineer and pointed out the homeowners' contention that the property is setting due to erosion ofthe Mickler ditch. The report says that AGES observed standing water with "no apparent visible flow", but Public Works Director Howell stated that there is water flow in the ditch, it is just slow, which is not very erosive. Mr. Howell pointed out that on page 2 of the report it states that areas of erosion were observed in areas where water drained from the residential properties, indicating that runoff from the properties is contributing to the erosion. The report also states that the course cannot be fully evaluated without more through laboratory testing. Public Works Director Howell reported that during a phone conversation, the engineer stated that he did not observe evidence that the bank is moving and that would be difficult to determine without historical documentation. Mayor George asked for recommendations based on the report. Public Works Director Howell replied that he would like to continue with his plan for piping in the ditch, 8 which would address erosion issues, but would not address settlement of land. He reported that surveys and permitting are taking place and he would like to bid the project soon after the start of the new fiscal year. He estimated construction would likely have a six-month window. In response to Vice Mayor England, Public Works Director Howell stated that Mr. Ward had been provided with a paper and emailed copy of the report and his wife, Ms. Leigh Ward, spoke with the engineer. Earl Ward, 10 Lee Drive, St. Augustine Beach, FL, stated that he was dismayed by the lack of facts in the report. He reminded the Commission that a survey he had performed in October 2017 showed that his property line was being encroached on by City's right of-way. That survey was not provided to the engineer. He stated that the walls and foundation near his pool are leaning toward the ditch. He gave two cost estimates to the City, but only one of them was shown in AGES' report and he felt that the second estimate was the better of the two. He has been waiting for piping of the ditch from 15 years. He just wants to protect his property. Mayor George asked the Commission for any discussion. Commissioner O'Brien asked if the screen enclosure around the pool was leaning. Mr. Ward stated that he had been informed that the enclosure was under tension and would need to be unbolted very carefully or it would "come shooting off'. Mr. Ward also advised that there were several storm drains that release water into the ditch. He stated that the water moves some when there are heavy storms. He does not think the ditch is functioning as it was originally designed and the water does not outlet where it should on Pope Road. Commissioner Samora asked for clarification on what Mr. Ward was asking for. Mr. Ward advised that he was not looking to make the piping project happen faster than the budget will allow, he just wants to stabilize the soil to prevent further erosion until the piping can be done. He stated that a temporary pipe was proposed, but he knows that would cost more money and may slow down the piping project. Mayor George asked how much help he was looking for from the City. Mr. Ward advised that Alpha Foundation Specialists, Inc. estimated $13,000 for helical piers to fix the current damage from erosion. He stated that that should be the City's responsibility. Mayor George asked for an engineer's report to support that claim and Mr. Ward stated that he could get one. Mayor George commented that current expert evidence says there are numerous causes that are not the City's responsibility. She stated that fiduciary responsibility and her conscience prevents her from agreeing with his assertion that the City is responsible for that work. Mr. Ward stated that he doesn't want to waste the City's money on more reports and research. He reiterated that the City's property has encroached on his property per a survey he previously supplied to the Commission. Mayor George stated that a reduction from property line does not equate to a lack of compaction. She would require more evidence other than contractor bids to substantiate his position. Mr. Ward stated that his survey should have been given to the engineer, then the report would be different. He stated that fill dirt had been added in the past and that is no longer there. 9 Mayor George asked if Mr. Ward would be agreeable to a date certain to get more evidence prepared and have a Commissioner and the City Attorney mediate? City Attorney Wilson advised that that was procedurally possible. Mayor George advised that if tenns could be reached then the proposal could come to the Commission for approval. Mr. Ward is willing to come to terms, but stated that he doesn't have faith in that process. He just wants something to be resolved, not continually pushed forward. Vice Mayor England stated that it may be difficult to determine who is responsible in this case, if anyone, and mediation may be only way to resolve the situation. She commented that when you live near water it moves and causes erosion. City Attorney Wilson advised that it would be difficult to decide on experts, but they would need to find a way to have evidence on file. That may require experts on both sides to find a foundation for a decision. He advised that this may need to be turned over to insurance to see if they find responsibility, since it may be an insurable interest. He suggested that be done before entering informal negotiations. Mayor George asked that Mr. Ward compile his evidentiary packet to provide to City Manager Royle, who will then submit that with the City's reports to the City's insurance. Commissioner O'Brien asked if Mr. Ward had submitted a claim to his insurance and Mr. Ward replied that he had not considered the possibility until now. Mayor George suggested he file a claim in tandem. Mayor George opened the Public Comment section. The following addressed the Commission: Ed Slavin, P.O. Box 3084, St. Augustine, FL commented the following: that too much time spent on this issue; that Doug Burnett spoke for too long at last meeting; legal malpractice for not filing with insurance first; inequality on comment time; this was corporate welfare and bail out by the City; and should file with insurance and be done. Thomas Thebo, homeless, commented the following: he used to be an automotive machinist; tie in with his previous proposal by having the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts build a community drainage system by widening and deepening the ditch; the City can benefit from his knowledge. Mayor George closed the Public Comment section and asked for further Commission discussion. Mayor George moved on to Item 9. 9. Sea Oats Planting Project: Approval of Proposal for Assistance for Preparation ofPlans with Constantine Engineering and Approval of Budget Resolution to Appropriate Money for Services (Presenter: Mr. Max Royle, City Manager) Mayor George introduced Item 9 and asked City Manager Royle for a staff report. City Manager Royle advised the engineer from Constantine, Mr. Rajesh Srinivas, was here on June 4th but could not be here tonight. He used to work for Taylor Engineering, is familiar with our beach, and was involved in the 2006 sea oats project. City Manager Royle would like to proceed with this project since the secondary dune is practically 10 non-existent. The cost estimate is $34,791.04, this cost would be split over FYs 2018 and 2019. The plans and specifications would be completed this fiscal year and the project would go out to bid after sea turtle season. He and Mayor will meet with the Port, Waterway, and Beach Commission next Tuesday to speak with them about cost sharing. Tonight, he is asking for approval of the contract and the Budget Resolution. Mayor George reported that Port Waterway was in favor of the project. She states that for the last project they provided 100% of the funds. City Manager Royle advised that the City may pay for the engineering and permitting and the Port Waterway for pay for implementation. Commissioner Kostka asked if they should wait until Port Waterway has confirmed that they will assist the City with funding. City Manager Royle advised that if the Commission commits tonight there will be no money spent now, that it would be conditioned on Port Waterway assistance. Commissioner Kostka asked about the possibility of a GoFundMe account and using volunteers for planting. City Manager Royle advised that volunteers could not be used due to liability concerns, but he will ask CFO Burns about the restrictions on GoFundMe. City Attorney Wilson advised that cities can receive tax-deductible donations. GoFundMe does not seem illegal, but just another way to receive donation. Mayor George opened the Public Comment section. Being none, Mayor George asked for further Commission discussion. Being none, Mayor George asked for a motion. Motion: To approve appropriation of money for the proposal conditioned on Port Waterway's commitment to fund the project. Moved by Mayor George, Seconded by Commissioner Kostka.

Mayor George confirmed and Commissioner Kostka maintained her second on the motion. Mayor George moved on to Item 10. V. NEW BUSINESS 10. Music Walk of Fame: Review of Proposal from Mr. Frederick Campbell, General Manager, of WQXT (Presenter: Mr. Max, Royle, City Manager) Mayor George introduced Item l O and asked Mr. Frederick Campbell for his report. Frederick Campbell, 3050 Industry Center Road, St. Augustine, FL, reported that he is proposing a Music Walk of Fame similar to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Walk could be featured on nationally syndicated radio shows. He stated that this could help tourism. There would be no money involved. Mayor George asked what he is requesting from the City. Mr. Campbell replied that he is looking for help getting St. Johns County involved, since they own the sidewalks 11 along A I A Beach Boulevard. Mayor George asked City Attorney Wilson for concerns. He replied that the County would have to approve the project and that it doesn't affect the City except for its endorsement. Mayor George asked the Commission for any discussion. Commissioner Samora asked if the Ancient City Music Hall of Fame currently exists. Mr. Campbell replied that it only existed online and on television at the moment, but is planning for a physical museum when funding is available. Mayor George asked Mr. Campbell to come back to the Commission when designs are ready. Vice Mayor England commented that "Ancient City" usually refers to St. Augustine, not St. Augustine Beach. This is technically not the ancient city and that name might not fit with the Beach. Mr. Campbell replied that the name was chosen for branding and as part of the bigger picture. He stated that the Beach was easier to work with than St. Augustine. Its Commission loved the idea, but would require multiple boards to approve. Commissioner O'Brien asked if Mr. Campbell had considered locations other than by pier or if there was a specific reason for that location. Mr. Campbell replied that he is open to suggestions, but that A I A Beach Boulevard is already a high traffic area. Commissioner O'Brien stated that the sculpture garden was not encouraged by St. Augustine, so the Beach offered the park by the Police Station for its location. The Walk could be used in Lakeside Park, since the City has full control there. Commissioner Kostka stated that she likes the idea, but that it needs more concept work. Mayor George opened the Public Comment section. Being none, Mayor George asked for a motion. Motion: To approve in concept hosting the Music Walk of Fame, or as otherwise labeled, with the expectation ofbeing provided further details as the project comes into design phase. Moved by Mayor George, Seconded by Vice Mayor England. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor George moved on to Item 11 . 11. Building Department Staffing: Request for Approval to Hire Permit Technician (Presenter: Mr. Brian Law, Building Official) Mayor George introduced Item 4 and asked Building Official Law for a staff report. Building Official Law reported that the economy is strong and building in the City has increase dramatically. This is a position that has been vacant since the last permit technician left the City. The Building Department's figure are in the black financially. His staff is close to retirement age and he wants to see redundancy so that multiple employees can accomplish the same tasks. 12 Mayor George asked the Commission for any discussion. Commissioner Kostka appreciated Building Official Law's forward planning. Mayor George opened the Public Comment section. There were none. Mayor George closed the Public Comment section and asked for further Commission discussion. Commissioner Samora asked about budget. Building Official Law stated that this would come from the Building Department's reserve. Mayor George asked for a motion. Motion: To approve the staffing request.

Tourist Development Tax Revenue: Consideration of Projects to Fund in Fiscal Year 2019 (Presenter: Mr. Max Royle, City Manager) Mayor George introduced Item 12. Mayor George advised on four staff suggestions from City Manager Royle's memo. She stated that the County doesn't have criteria, but she suggested that projects improving the tourist experience might carry more weight. She recommended that the Ocean Hammock Park restrooms and parking improvements feel more compelling and that sidewalks might be more of a community responsibility. Mayor George asked the Commission for any discussion. Commissioner O'Brien asked if the 4th Street parking improvements would only improve existing parking or increase parking spaces. Public Works Public Works Director Howell replied that it would improve parking, that people are already parking in the grass. Mayor George proposed that that reinforces the suggestion of restrooms. Commissioner O'Brien reported that the owner of Island Inn told him people from Ocean Hammock Park stop in to use his hotel's restrooms. Mayor George asked for confinnation that the Ocean Hammock Park property could not be used for commercial development. City Manager Royle confirmed that. She stated that that may help offer some security for the County in providing funds for restrooms at this location. Commissioner Samora proposed that projects in different price categories could help the County choose. He stated that the A Street sidewalk would improve tourist 13 experience, that they are fighting traffic to walk down the street now. Commissioner Kostka added that it would improve safety. Commissioner Kostka asked if there was an opportunity to expand parking at Ocean Hammock park. Public Works Director Howell replied that another twelve parking spaces could be added, but that he does not know the cost of that. There are currently about twenty spaces. The Commission agreed to submit three options and selected the 4th Street parking improvements, A Street sidewalk, and Ocean Hammock Park restrooms. Commissioner O' Brien suggested not offering them in order of preference. Mayor George suggested that since she is on the TDC, Vice Mayor England give the presentation on behalf of the City. Commissioner Kostka stated that this is an exciting change, since the City's resources take a beating from tourists. Mayor George stated that maybe in the future this funding could be used for recurring projects. Commissioner O'Brien stated that maybe the City could join with St. Augustine to propose a shuttle between them. Mayor George opened the Public Comment section. The following addressed the Commission: Thomas Thebo, homeless, commented the following: proposed natural stream system, which could be put it on the property on corner of Pope Road and AlA Beach Boulevard, that would make that the most expensive property in both cities; name it Tomorrow's Art Today on St. Augustine Beach and make it an art house. Mayor George closed the Public Comment section and asked for further Commission discussion. Mayor George asked for a motion. Motion: To seek funding from the Tourist Development Tax revenue for three projects including 4th Street parking improvements at $75,000, A Street sidewalk east of Al A Beach Boulevard estimated at $60,000 and Ocean Hammock Park restrooms estimated at $150,000.

City Manager Royle advised this would bring the land use for the 4.5 acres to match the land use the Commission already approved for the other 11.5 acres of this property. 14 Mayor George asked the Commission for any discussion. Mayor George opened the Public Comment section. The following addressed the Commission: Thomas Thebo, homeless, commented the following: that highest priority be given to life systems; said you must clean the cup before pouring the water in, but no one understands how to clean the cup; respect the facts of life. Mayor George closed the Public Comment section and asked for further Commission discussion. Being none, Mayor George asked City Attorney Wilson to read the Ordinance title, which was done, and then asked for a motion. Motion: To approve Ordinance 18-09 on first reading.

Commissioner Kostka stated that her background would lead to doing this task well. The Commission agreed with appointing Commissioner Kostka. Building Official Law reported that construction on Embassy Suites continues, the portico driveway walls was finished, the top two floors are at 30%, crews are working on the ballroom and pool areas.

Commissioner Kostka asked about keeping time available for carryover meetings. She would like to put on the agenda to discuss a plan for meetings in the future. She stated that staff and presenters could not make this meeting. Chief Hardwick stated that he was under the impression that the Commission had chosen the first Monday and Tuesday and he sets aside those days already for meetings. Mayor George replied that that was true, this month was simply an anomaly. Mayor George suggested it be added to next month's agenda to allow for time to think about whether it needs to be discussed. Commissioner Kostka stated that it could always be removed before then. Vice Mayor England did not present a report. Commissioner O'Brien did not present a report. Commissioner Samora did not present a report. Mayor George asked that the deadline for acceptance of proposals for Beach Blast Off be th extended to July 16 • City Manager Royle replied that that would be fine.

This section 6.02.00 establishes minimum requirements applicable to the development 34 transportation system, including public and private streets. bikeways, pedestrian ways, parking and 35 loading areas, and access control to and from public streets. The standards in this section are intended 36 to minimize the traffic impacts of development. to assure that all developments adequately and safely 37 provide for the storage and movement of vehicles consistent with good engineering and development 38 design practices. 39 B. Compliance with construction requirements All required elements of the transportation system shall 40 be provided in compliance with the engineering design and construction standards approved by the 41 St Augustine Beach City Commission 42 C. Any building erected or moved on property shall be on a lot adjacent to a roadway or driveway I 43 approved by the city build/Ag-OffiGialCity Manager or desjgnee in accordance with this article. Plans for 44 the roadway or driveway must be approved prior to the issuance of a building permit for any building. 45 The roadway must be approved prior to commencement of construction or placement of any building 46 The driveway must be approved prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Exhibit 6 Page 10 of 46 1 (Ord. No. 91-7, § 2) 2 Sec. 6.02.02. - Streets 3 A Street classification system established. 4 1. Streets in St. Augustine Beach are classified and mapped according to function served in order 5 to allow for regulation of access, road and right-of-way widths, circulation patterns, design speed, 6 and construction standards. 7 2. Private streets and streets that are to be dedicated to St. Augustine Beach are classified in a 8 street hierarchy system with design tailored to function. The street hierarchy system shall be 9 defined by road function and average daily traffic (ADT), calculated by trip generation rates 10 prepared by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Trip generation rates from other sources 11 may be used if the developer demonstrates the alternative source better reflects local conditions. 12 3. When a street continues an existing street that previously terminated outside the subdivision, or 13 is a street that will be continued beyond the subdivision or development at some future time, the 14 classification of the street will be based upon the street in its entirety, both within and outside of 15 the subdivision or development 16 4. The following streets hierarchy is established: residential, collector, and arterial. Each street type 17 is divided into subcategories. All development proposals containing new streets or taking access 18 from existing streets shall conform to the standards and criteria contained in this section 6.02.00 . 19 B. Residential streets. Residential streets are primarily suited to providing direct access to residential 20 development, but may give access to limited nonresidential uses, provided average daily traffic (ADT) 21 volume generated by the nonresidential use does not exceed applicable standards for the affected 22 streets. All residential streets should be designed to minimize unnecessary and/or speeding traffic. 23 Each residential street shall be classified and designed for its entire length to meet the minimum 24 standards. 25 This is the lowest order street in the hierarchy. A residential street is a frontage street which provides 26 direct access to abutting properties and is designed to carry no more traffic than is generated on the street 27 itself. Residential streets may take access from any higher order street type. Both ends of a residential loop 28 street must take access from a single higher order street. The design speed for residential streets is twenty- 29 five (25) miles per hour. Residential access streets shall have a maximum ADT of five hundred (500). Cul- 30 de-sacs shall have a maximum ADT of two hundred (200). Loop streets shall have a maximum ADT of four 31 hundred (400). 32 C. Collector roads. Collector roads provide access to nonresidential uses and connect lower order streets 33 to arterial streets. Design speeds and average daily traffic volumes will be higher than for lower order 34 streets. Local collector streets give direct access to commercial and residential projects, but not to 35 individual dwelling units. Collectors may take access from other collector streets or arterials. Collectors 36 may give access to any residential street type. Collectors shall have a design speed of thirty (30) miles 37 per hour. Collectors shall have a maximum ADT of three thousand (3,000). 38 D Arterial roads. Arterial roads provide links between communities and are designed for speeds up to 39 forty-five (45) miles per hour. No parking is allowed on any arterials. These roads link communities to 40 regional or state highways. They may also give direct access to regionally significant land uses. These 41 roads may take access from other arterials or freeways and may give access to any lower order 42 nonresidential street type. 43 E. Special purpose streets. Under special circumstances a new local street may be classified and 44 designed as one of the following: 45 1. Alley. An alley is a special type of street which provides a secondary means of access to lots. It 46 will nonnally be on the same level in the hierarchy as a residential access street, although different 47 design standards will apply. Exhibit 6 Page 11 of46 1 2. Marginal access street. A marginal access street is a street parallel and adjacent to a collector or 2 higher level street which provides access to abutting properties and separation from through 3 traffic. It may be designed at the level of a residential access street or a residential sub-collector 4 as anticipated traffic volumes will dictate. 5 3. Divided streets. For the purpose of protecting environmental features or avoiding excessive 6 grading, the municipality may require that the street be divided. In such a case, the design 7 standards shall be applied to the aggregate dimensions of the two (2) street segments. 8 F. Future traffic circulation map. The future traffic circulation map and any amendments thereto, adopted 9 by St. Augustine Beach as a part of the comprehensive plan, is hereby made a part of this Code All 10 exisbng roadways within the jurisdiction of St Augustine Beach shall be designated on this map 11 according to the foregoing classification scheme. Any street abutting or affecting the design of a 12 subdivision or land development which is not already classified on the future traffic circulation map 13 shall be classified according to ~s function, design, and use by the St Augustine Beach Bu,ldlAg 14 GfficralCity Manager or des,gnee at the request of the applicant or during plan review. The map shall 15 be the basis for all decisions regarding required road improvements, reservation or dedication of rights- 16 of-way for required road improvements, or access of proposed uses to existing or proposed roadways. 17 G. Street classification standards Table 6.02.02A, specifies the number of lanes and pavement and right- 18 of-way widths for residential, collector, and arterial streets. These requirements should be read in 19 conjunction with the foregoing street type descriptions. 20 (Ord.

In 2005, the City approved a planned unit development of 72 condo units on 16 acres to be called Maratea. As a condition of the PUD, the owners agreed to deed two of the 18 acres to the City for conservation and for a beach access boardwalk. Because of the downturn of the national economy in 2007, the owners were unable to proceed with the planned unit development. In 2009, they agreed to sell to the City 11.5 acres of the 16 acres to be preserved from development as a park. For the purchase, the City received a state grant of $4.5 million. The owners kept the most desirable 4.5 acres of the property in the northeast corner adjacent to the beach and planned to build 30 condo units on them. However, with the continued weakness of the real estate ma rket, especially for condominiums in northeast Florida, and because the City held firm in its negotiations for the remaining 4.5 acres, the owners in 2015 agreed to sell them for the appraised value of $4.5 million to The Trust for Public Land, which agreed to buy the land on the City's behalf, with the City reimbursing The Trust. In 2016, the City applied to the Florida Communities Trust for a grant to pay the City part of the $4.5 million. The FCT has agreed to provide a grant of $1.S million. One of the grant' s conditions is t hat the City change the land use of the remaining 4.5 acres from planned unit development to parks and recreation. The City approved a similar land use change in 2011 when it acquired the 11.5 acres. The City Attorney prepared an ordinance to change the land use from PUD to parks and recreation. You reviewed it at your June 12th continuation meeting and approved it on first reading. A The Ordinance then was reviewed by the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board at its June 19th meeting.

George ATTEST: City Manager ltgMaa Item1f. 4 ¥e e ting oate7------2-18 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor George Vice Mayor England Commissioner O'Brien Commissioner Kostka Commissioner Samora FROM: Max Royle, City Man,flP-- DATE: June 20, 2018 SUBJECT: Drainage Projects for 12th Street/12th Lane, pt Street, and Sandpiper Drive: Award of Bid to Turnbull Environmental and Approval of Budget Resolutions 18-10 and 18-11 At your June 12th continuation meeting, you discussed with the Public Works Director, Mr. Joe Howell, the bids received for the three projects named above. Central to the discussion was whether there was money in the City's current budget to pay for all three or whether one or two would have to be postponed to FY 2019. After that meeting, Mr. Howell and Ms. Melissa Burns, the City's Chief Financial officer, discussed possible sources of the money needed to do two or all three projects in the current fiscal year, with the money coming from projects that could be postponed to FY 2019 or from the surplus the City still has from the sale of Lots O and Pon 15th Street. Attached as pages 1-2 is Mr. Howell's memo, in which he provides more details about your June 12th discussion. On page 2, he lists two options: doing two of the projects or doing all three in the current fiscal year. In anticipation that you will want the three projects done in FY 2018, Ms. Burns has prepared two budget resolutions (pages 3-4), which will appropriate the money needed to do them before the end of the current fiscal year (September 30, 2018). ACTION REQUESTED It is that you award the bid for the three projects to Turnbull Environmental and approve Budget Resolutions 18-10 and 18-11. A MEMORANDUM Date: June 19,2018 To: Max Royle, City Manager From: Joe Howell, Public Works Director Subject: Miscellaneous Drainage Improvements Project - Suggested Implementation My understanding of the discussion on this agenda item during the continuation meeting of the City Commission on June 12, 2018 was that City staff was tasked with developing financial/budgetary options for implementing at least two of the three projects making up the total of the Miscellaneous Drainage Improvements project. The two projects are the th 12 St./ 12'h Ln. project and the 1st St. project. The bid tabulation below identifies the individual project specific costs received in response to the invitation to bid. Miscellaneous Drainage Improvements Bid Tabulation BIDDER 12m St. / 1st St. Sandpiper TOTAL BID th 12 Ln. Dr. AMOUNT Masci Corporation $124,851 $130,319 $138,027 $393,197 Constantine Constructors $106,000 $125,000 $94,000 $325,000 Turnbull Environmental, Inc. $94,000 $98,500 $97,500 $290,000 G&H Underground $145,524.50 $142,771 $174,342.50 $462,638 Construction, Inc. For FY 18 the City budgeted a total of $260,000 for drainage related capital improvement. At the writing of this memo $78,121 .56 of that amount remains available, which is insufficient to fund even the 12th St. / 12'h Ln. project, the only one of the three projects originally budgeted for construction this year. At the June 12th meeting I proposed potentially deferring the planned FY 18 pavement maintenance and diverting the $100,000 in that line item to support two of the three drainage projects. Even using this approach we fall a little over $14,000 short of the $192,500 cost for the first two projects. And while I do not disagree that the proposed FY 18 Atlantic Alley pavement maintenance could be deferred for a year, possibly longer, doing so will also defer the planned pavement maintenance in FY 19 and FY 20. The discussion at the June 12th meeting also raised the possibility of using monies from the Lots O & P account to support at least the first two projects and possibly the third as well. The Chief Financial Officer is preparing a budget transfer resolution, and is far more in touch with the City's total and specific financial resources than I am but, without identifying a specific account, to move forward with just the 12th St. / 12th Ln project we - 1 - Miscellaneous Drainage Improvements Project - Suggested Implementation need to transfer approximately $16,000 to the drainage line item account. To move forward with the first two projects we need to transfer approximately $114,000. To do all three projects we need to transfer approximately $212,000. The funding can potentially come from a variety of sources including other line items in the current fiscal year's budget (e.g. pavement maintenance, etc.), although there may not be adequate funding in the FY 18 Budget alone to fund the first two projects. Another option is to use the balance of the drainage CIP line item and to totally fund the outstanding balance of the three projects ($212,000) from the Lots O & P account leaving the pavement maintenance funding in place for its intended purpose. Based on the Commission discussion during the June 12'h meeting I suggest: 1. Moving forward with the first two projects supported by a budget transfer of the pavement maintenance funding ($100,000) and an additional $14,000 from Lots O & P. Alternately 2. Moving forward with all three drainage improvement projects supported by a budget transfer ($212,000) from Lots O & P. - 2 - BUDGET RESOLUTION 18-10 CITY OF ST.

Mayor - Commissioner ATTEST: City Manager -4 - Agenda Item· ?~.___5 __ Meeting Date 7- 2- 18 MEMORANDUM TOt Mayor George Vice Mayor England Commissioner O'Br.ien Commissioner Kostka Commissioner Samora FROM : Max Royle, City Mana~ DATE : June 15, 2018 SUBJECT: Medical Marijuana Dispensing Facilities: Discussion of Regulations to Allow Such When Prohibition Expires in November INTRODUCTION At its November 6, 2017, meeting, the City Commission passed Ordinance 17-07 on final reading. A copy is attached as pages 1-2. There are three significant-provisions· irr the Ordinance: 1. It prohibits medical marijuana dispensing facilities in the City. 2. This probation is in effect only for one year and will sunset on November 6, 2018. 3. Section 381.9866(11), Florida Statutes, stat es that cities and counties cannot have regulations governing dispensing facilities t hat are more restrictive than the regulations permitting or determining the location of pharmacies. Under the provisions in the City's Land Development Regulations, pharmacies are allowed in all commercial land use districts in the City and allowed by conditional use permit in institutional land use districts, such as pier park and where the city hall is located. REASON FOR DISCUSSION Though November 6th is four months away, we are bringing the topic of medical marijuana dispensing facilities to you so that you'll have ample time to discuss with the residents what th regulations you want in place for when ordinance 17-07 expires on November 6 • The process for adopting new regulations would be: Determining what the new regulations will be. Having the City Attorney draft an ordinance for first reading. Having a public hearing and final readihg. /\ PLEASE NOTE: Because the date for the November general election will be Tuesday, November 6th , the Commission meeting room, because it is the City's voting site, will not be available for your regular meeting on Monday, November 5th . You'll have to decide at your October ist meeting the date for your November meeting. In this case, the adoption of the new regulations would be: August 6th meeting, determination of regulations for a new ordinance nnd directive to the City Attorney to draft the ordinance. September 11th meeting, passage of the ordinance on first reading. October ist meeting, public hearing and final reading of the ordinance, with the effective date of it to be November 6, 2018. ACTION REQUESTED Though Ordinance 17-07 amends Chapter 12 of the City Code, not the Land Development Code, you still may want the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board to discuss at its July 17th meeting what provisions it wants you to consider for the regulating of medical marijuana dispensing facilities in the City. You could then discuss the Board's recommendations at your August 6th meeting. B ORDINANCE 17-07 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH, CREATING CHAPTER 12, ARTICLE X OF THE ST.

As you provided no directive to the City staff during that discussion, the City Manager in his list of "Pending" topics noted that fact and decided that the topic no longer needed to be included on the list. Commissioner Kostka noted that and in early June in an email to the Manager asked for more research . She suggested that a key word search be done to find ordinances related to anonymous complaints and wrote that "it is important to have a definitive way in which whistleblowers can voice their concerns." The Deputy City Clerk, Ms. Dariana Fitzgerald, did a word search on Municode, the company that codifies ordinances for Florida cities and counties. The results of her search are attached. ATTACHMENTS a. Pages 1-2, the minutes of that part of your May 8th meeting when you discussed the handling of anonymous complaints. b. Page 3, a report from Ms. Fitzgerald about the results of her Municode search. You'll note that of the 371 cities and counties she checked, only 16 have policies in their code that address anonymous complaints. c. Pages 4-5, the language from the codes of those 16 cities and counties concerning the handling of anonymous complaints. d. Pages 6-13, the complete list of the cities and counties that Ms. Fitz,gerald checked through Municode. The 16 that do have a policy concerning the handling of anonymous complaints are fisted on page 6. ACTION REQUESTED It is that you discuss whether you want our City to have a policy for the handling of anonymous complaints and, if so, what the wording of that policy should be. A FRCM MINUTES OF CITY COMMISSION MEETING, rAY 8. 2018 18. Handling of Anonymous Complaints: Consideration of Policies (Presenter: Mr. Max Royle, City Manager) Mayor George introduced Item 18 and asketi City Manager Royle for a staff report. City Manager Royle commented that every city handles this issue differently and would need the Commission's direction on how they would like to proceed. Police Chief Hardwick advised that there are two separate spectrums, which is criminal and administrative. He advised that the Sheriff's Office dispatch has a record of all calls that come into dispatch and the administrative spectrum, they do take anonymous complaints, if this was about a police officer. - 1 - City Manager Royle advised that he would investigate anonymous complaints also, if there was a complaint ab_out an en;iployee; however, he was advising on a regular complaint. Discussion ensued regarding whether municipal- code system was researched on anonymous complaints; whether to institute a whistle blower policy; not ignoring any complaints; whether the policy should be decided by the type of complaint and placed in categories; and researching more cities regarding this issue. Mayor George opened the Public Comments section. The following addressed the Commission: Ed Slavin, P.O. Box 3084, St. Augustine, FL, explained that is issue was brought to the Commission's attention because City Manager Royle refused to advise who gave an anonymous complaint regarding Commissioner Kostka's code enforcement case. He advised that he would like a whistle blower protection policy. Tom Reynolds, 880 AlA Beach Blvd., St. Augustine Beach, Fl, suggested anonymous complaints should not be given for Administration, but should be given for the Police Department. He also suggested that having written complaints would stop fa lse accusations. Mayor George closed the Public Comments section and advised that anonymous complaints could waste City staff time and then moved on to Item XIII. - 2 - Max Royle From: Dariana Fitzgerald Sent: Tuesday, June 5, 2018 2:39 PM To: Beverly Raddatz; Max Royle Subject: RE: "Pending Items" Attachments: Anonymous Complaints.xlsx I searched the code of all 371 cities and counties on Municode, a spreadsheet of the results is attached. In Brief: 15 allow anonymous complaints by code. Many of these duplicate the same language. 1 does not allow anonymous complaints by code 355 do not mention anonymous complaints in their code Also, when J did this search in February, Nassau County only investigated anonymous complaints if multiple complaints were received for the same issue. They have since removed all mention of anonymous complaints from their code. If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact me. Dariana A.

The first item concerning the updating of the personnel manual states that there is alre~dy a draft that has been forwarded to you. The suggestion to wait to have the commission review until the fall, possibly after the budget has been adapted seems unnecessary. If there is a draft, why not begin the review process as soon as possible to accommodate the necessary changes in a more timely way. To wait until after the budget review seems counterproductive especially since a draft document is already completed. By waiting the changes may not be able to go into effect until after the first of the year. The second item that I believe warrants attention is the topic concerning creating a policy for anonymous complaints. The last sentence of your narrative states, "this topic will no longer be included in this report." Since I did not see the topic listed on the agenda under old business nor new business, I am perplexed as why this item will no longer be included anywhere. The minutes from the meeting clearly show this was a preliminary discussion and requested more follow-up as to what other cities had as a policy for anonymous complaints. "Discussion ensued regarding whether municipal code system was researched on anonymous complaints; whether to institute a whistle blower policy; not ignoring any complaints; whether the policy should be decided by the type of complaint and placed in categories; and researching more cities regarding this issue." I believe the direction that was requested by the commission was to do more research. As was suggested by Ms Lynn Tipton, as a subscribing member of the Municipal Code, you could do a key word search to find other ordinances related to anonymous complaints. She also advised it is important to have a definitive way in which whistleblowers can voice their concerns. Dropping the item does not address the concern/need to have some sort of policy. Please add this back to pending items. Thank you, Commissioner Maggie Kostka - 14 - , , .11da Item ii. 1 _ Meetlng~te. z-2- 101 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor George Vice Mayor England Commissioner O'Brien Commissioner Kostka Commjssioner Samora FROM: Max Royle, City Mana~1..--- DATE: June 21, 2018 SUBJECT: Ordinance 18-11, First Reading: to Adopt Changes to Articles IV, X, and XII of the Land Development Regulations PLEASE NOTE: AS OF THE DATE OF THIS MEMO TO YOU, THE CITY MANAGER HAS NOT RECEIVED THE ORDINANCE FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY.

HOWEVER, WE ARE KEEPING THIS TOPIC ON THE AGENDA IN THE EVENT THE ORDINANCE ARRIVES IN TIME TO BE EMAILED TO YOU BEFORE YOUR MEETING. You discussed a draft of the ordinance at your June 12th continuation ·meeting. Here are the minutes of that part of your meeting: "The Commission discussed the second ordinance on a residential parking system. There was clarification that streets would implement the residential plan when 60% of property owners on a block indicated their interest. Public Works Director Howell advised that the ALPR system would make this much easier to enforce. Vice Mayor England would like to know what potential problems could be, maybe look at the faults in St. Augustine's system for advice. She asked that City Attorney Wilson look at the use of terms in the ordinance, particularly "area" and "zone" , and be sure that there is consistency in phrasing. Commissioner Kostku expressed worry that this is too complicated. She wants to be clear on areas that are no parking and residential permitted and to protect residents from unwanted or illegal parking. "Public Works Director Howell stated that clarifying parking areas was long overdue. He advised signs at the start of the street stating, "parking by residential permit only" and that the use of hangtags or decals is cumbersome. There may be some issues still with transient rentals. He agreed that this system should be in place before paid parking is implemented. Chief Hardwkk advised t hat t here should be a traffic enforcement specialist in place. The Commission asked t hat the costs of that employee and training should be included in the FY 2019 budget and added to the parking project timeline. A "Mayor George opened the Public Comment section. The following addressed the Commission: "Ed Slavin, P.O. Box 3084, St. Augustine, Fl, stated the following: he has not heard a business plan or cost analysis; agreed with fines and thirty days to payment ticket s; thinks that requiring 60% of owners to approve parking is discriminating against renters; asked for City Manager Royle to resign; asked for market analysis of parking vendors. "Tom Reynolds, 880 AlA Beach Blvd, St. Augustine Beach, FL, stated the following: thanked Specialist Johns for his presentation; City needs to find 200 paid parking spaces; expenses for paid parking were too much; gave City Manager Royle credit for being more fiscally responsible than St. Augustine; liked raising parking fines; need volunteer PSAs. "Mayor George asked Public Works Director Howell about his survey of costs for paid parking and he responded that the City would not lose money the first year. She asked that the parking project manager create a map for the public indicating parking and no parking streets." ACTION REQUESTED If the ordinance arrives in time for your July 2nd meeting, we ask that you discuss it and decide whether to pass it on first reading as Ordinance 18-13. B A:i:1enda Item '#,.._1_1__ Meeting Date 7- 2-18 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor George Vice Mayor England Commissioner O1 Brien Commissioner Kostka Commissioner Samora FROM: Max Royle, City Manag~ DATE: June 18, 2018 SUBJECT: Joint Meeting with County Commission; Discussion of County Administrator's June 8, 2018, Letter BACKGROUND You last held a joint meeting with the County Commission on May 1, 2017. Topics discussed at the meeting were: beach restoration, off-beach parking, repair of County roads in the City, repair of the pier and renovations to pier park, and the County's plans for the former Mosquito Control District's property on Old Beach Road. At you January 6, 2018, meeting, you suggested that another joint meeting be held in May or June. The City Manager forwarded this suggestion to the County Administrator, Mr. Michael Wan chick. In early May, he asked the Manager for a list of the issues you -wanted to discuss with t he County commission. Using the list of topics that were discussed at the May 2017 joint meeting, Mayor George and the City Manager decided to forward the following topics to Mr. Wan chick: Beach restoration, including sea oats planting and sand fencing Off-beach parking, including paid parking Repair of County roads in the City, the schedule for doing the repairs and the funding for them Repairs and renovations to the pier park, including the development of maintenance, renovation, and economic plans The County's plans for the former Mosquito Control District's property On June 12, 2018, t he City Manager .received a letter from Mr. Wan chick, which is attached. In it he says that "it is his opinion, concurred with by the County Commission, that these issues ar~ more efficiently discussed on the staff level without requiring a joint meeting." The City Manager mentioned this letter at the conclusion of your June 12th continuation meeting. Mayo,r George asked that it be put on the agenda for your July meeting. A RECENT ACTION On June 13, the City Manager in an email to Mr. Wanchick wrote that, on the basis of his letter, there appeared to be only two topics for the County and the City staffs to discuss: paid parking for beach visitors and the maintenance of pier park. The Manager wrote this response because it seemed from Mr. Wanchick's remarks concerning the other topics listed in his letter, such as repair of County roads in the City and the use of the Mosquito Control property, that they were being handled by the County. Mr. Wanchick replied to the Manager's email that he thought off-beach parking was a timely topic, and while he wasn't certain there was anything more to discuss about the maintenance of pier park from the County's end, he wrote that it still could be discussed by both staffs. He added the following as a possible topic to discuss: the process the County is going through relative to the Farmers' Market RFP and that by the time the two staffs meet, the County should have more details that the Manager could share with the City Commissio·n. As we don't know your thoughts concerning Mr. Wanchick's proposal that a joint meeting isn't necessary, we don't know what action to recommend other than that you discuss the letter and decide on the basis of it that no joint meeting is needed. Or, if you still think a joint meeting is needed, what are matters that the two Commissions need to discuss? RELATED MATTER The pay-by-phone parking system. The City Manager has kept Mr. Wanchick up-to-date on what our City is doing concerning the system and your directive that our City foll.:>w St. Augustine's lead. Mr. Wanchick has replied that the County must comply with its own RFP process for obtaining a pay-by-phone system. He added that it is his hope "that the three local governments would work together on a universal system that would prove to be as convenient as possible for residents and visitors" and that if our City has one system and the County has a different system, "we are likely to end up with inefficient and confusing systems with redundant costs and expenditures." The key question may be: How to get the three local governments to ag-ree on a single pay-by phone system? The answer may not require a joint meeting of the County and City Commission, but a meeting of Mayor George with Mayor Shaver and the Chair of the County Commission, Henry Dean. B REC~l~ED St. Johns County Board of County o!issione~• ] Office of the cou'ITT]ff,g!';.~Yc~~NE BEACH Michael 0 . Wanchick, County Administrator June 8, 2018 Max Royle City Manager City of St. Augustine Beach 2200 A 1A South St. Saint Augustine Beach, FL 32080 D~~L This letter is in response to your cotTespondence dated May l 0, 2018, regarding beach restoration, off beach parking, repair of county roads, Pier Park, the fonner Mosquito Control property, and your request for a joint meeting between the County Commission and City Commission. It is my opinion, concurred with by the County Commission, that these issues are more efficiently discussed on the staff level without requiring a joint meeting. Issues raised by the City of St. Augustine Beach and County response: I. Beach restoration, including sea oats and sand fencing: The Shore Protection Project (SPP) is currently under construction and scheduled to be complete by the end of June. The SPP does not include p lanting of sea oats or the installation of sand fences. Following the completion of the construction, the County's consultant will complete a post construction monitoring report, as required by the FDEP permit. The beach re-nourishment progress agenda and map are available upon request. Progress meetings are scheduled on Wednesdays in the City of St. Augustine Beach City Hall, and the public is welcome to attend to obtain project updates. 2, Off-beach parking; paid parking, pay-by-phone parking app, etc.: As you are aware, the Board of County Commissioners voted during the January 16, 2018, meeting to retain ownership of Pier Park. On Apiil 17, 2018 the Board voted to move forward with the Off-Beach Parking Fee Plan and staff has been tasked with fanning an implementation plan. Staff is drafting a plan that includes an RFP process for a service provider associated with the infrastructure for off-beach parking fees. County staff has been assigned to participate in the Pay by Phone for parking app meeting. As a result, staff is preparing a swnmary for my review and recommendation. lfthe opportunity exists to jointly implement a universar parking system with the City of St. Augustine Beach and the City of St. Augustine, the County is highly receptive to those djscussioos. 3. Repair of County roads in the City, including Pope Road, 16th Street, A I A Beach Boulevard, and the A lA Beach Boulevard and 16th Street drainage systems, repair schedules, and funding sources: a. Pope Road was re-inspected in 20 17 in the Major/Minor Road Pavement Condition Index (PCI) update. It has a PCI of 72 and does not fall within the County' s five-year work plan. 500 San Sebastian View, St. Augustine, FL 32084 I P: 904.209.0530 I F: 904,209.0534 www.sjcfl.us b. 16th Street is proposed for re-claiming and resurfacing as part of the 2018 work plan. This work is scheduled to begin this month. c. A 1A Beach Boulevard work will include the south-bound lane along the portion of the road that has settled over the drainage system from approximately Bermuda Run Way to near the Pier Parking lot entrance. This roadway is part of the 2018 work plan. This work is eligible for FEMA reimbursement and will begin upon final FEMA funding approval. d. These projects, with the exception of AIA Beach Boulevard, are funded through the St. Johns County Pavement Management Program. 4. Pier Park maintenance plan, renovation plan, economic plan, and cooperative planning with City for maintenance: Pier Park receives daily maintenance from a mobile maintenance crew to ensure it remains clean, safe, and open to the public. The renovation plan is in Phase I, which includes a study intended to provide conceptual designs relative to the most efficient utilization of this public space in the future. This effort was funded by the Tourist Development Council and is approximately 50 percent complete. There is no further funding identified for the next phases of this project, which might include design, engineering, permitting cost estimates, and construction permitting. County staff is willing to meet with the appropriate staff from the City of St. Augustine Beach to discuss a more coordinated maintenance effort at Pier Park. 5. County's plans for former Mosquito Control property: The County purchased the former Mosquito Control property in 2017. A variety of potential public uses have been discussed, including relocation of Fire Station 7. This property, which is larger than the current site, would allow for an appropriate-sized fire station, adequate staffing, and additional fire and marine rescue equipment to accommodate the lager structures, including hotels, being built in the area. While no decision has been made by the County Commission, it appears that reserving this site for the eventual relocation of Fire Station 7 is the most prudent course of action at this time; especially given the current station's vulnerability to future tropical storm events. I hope the above information satisfactorily answers the City's questions, and as always, if the City is in need of further information please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience.

Meeting DateJ-2-18 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor George Vice Mayor England Commissioner O'Brien Comm1ssioher Kostka Commissioner Samora FROM: Max Royle, City Mana~ DATE: June 18, 2018 SUBJECT: Commission Meetings; Discussion of Scheduling and Related Matters INTRODUCTION At the conclusion of your June 12th continuation meeting, Commissioner Kostka spoke of her concerns about the scheduling of the meeting on that date, which was the second Tuesday of the month, when the Commission had previously agreed to hold any continuation of the Monday regular meeting on the following or first Tuesday. We suggest that the first Tuesday usually will work, should you need another meeting to finish the agenda items. However, your regular meeting on Monday, June 4th , was unusual because of four factors that may not be repeated in the future. They were: - The five presentation topics, one of which was the North Florida Transportation Organization's five-year transportation improvement plan. The intense public interest in the proposed waterslide for the Embassy Suites hotel, which resulted in many citizens commenting to you about the proposal. This interest, more than anything else at your June 4th meeting, took most of the meeting's four hours. th - The absence on Tuesday, June 5 , of employees who were needed to speak to you on one or more agenda topics. The employees were the Building Official, who with the Building Inspector had to attend a day-long session at the Building Officials Association of Florida's conference in Orlando; and the Information Technology Specialist, who was to speak to you about the pay-by-phone plan. Commissioner O'Brien was unable to attend the June 5th meeting. FOR THE FUTURE To help ensure that the City staff will be available for the continuation of you Monday meeting to the following Tuesday, the City Manager will do the following: 1. Not approve any vacation leave for department heads who will be needed on the Tuesday following a regular meeting. A 2. Should a department head have to be away on that Tuesday because of an important conference, illness or accident, or a personal matter, the agenda topic or topics which the department head will present will either not be on the agenda or the Manager will ask you to postpone them to the following month's Monday meeting. What the Manager cannot control is when Commissioners may be absent on the Tuesday after a regular meeting. Also, you might want to consider changing the starting time of your Monday meeting. St. Augustine's Commission starts their regular meetings at 5:00 p.m. This would give you an extra hour at the Monday meeting to get through all the topics on the agenda. ACTION REQUESTED It's that you discuss Commissioner Kostka's concerns with her and whether there are changes that can be made to ensure that when a continuation of a Monday regular meeting is needed, it will be held on the Tuesday following it.

This budget is posted online for the public to review it. Commission holds special meeting on the last Monday in July to review the budget, set the tentative property tax millage and the date for the first public hearing on the budget. - Tentative property tax millage and the date for the first public hearing must be sent to the Property Appraiser in early August, who then puts the information on a notice that in August is sent to owners of property in the City. First public hearing on the millage and budget ordinances is held at the City Commission's September regular meeting, which is held on the second Monday because the first Monday is the Labor Day holiday. - Second and final public hearing on the millage and budget ordinances is held at a special meeting on the last Monday in September and that information is sent to the Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, and Florida Department of Revenue before October Pt, which is when the new fiscal year starts. The key dates are late July, when we have to send the tentative millage and the date of the. first public hearing on the budget to the Property Appraiser, and October l5t, which is when the City must have adopted its millage and budget, because the fiscal year starts on that date. A ACTION REQUESTED It is that you schedule your special meeting for reviewing the budget and setting the tentative millage on Monday, July 30t h, at 6:00 p.m. This will insure that the Property Appraiser receives the information (the tentative millage and date for the first public hearing in September) that must be put on notice that is sent to every property owner in the City.

Mickler Boulevard Ditch Erosion The Commission this fiscal year appropriated money for engineering and permitted to pipe the section of the ditch between Pope Road and 16th Street, where the erosion is located. At its April 2, 2018, meeting, the Commission approved having its civil engineering consultant, Stone Engineering, prepare the plans and specifications for the piping of the ditch in Fiscal Year 2019, when money for the project will be appropriated in the budget. However, two residents of the Ocean Wa lk subdivision, east of the ditch, spoke with their attorney to the Commission at its May 7th meeting about putting in a temporary pipe along their property to protect their swimming pool. The Commission decided that the Public Works Director needed to provide more information. The City Commission discussed this topic at its June 12th continuation and asked t he property owner to submit a claim for damages to the City Manager, who will then forward it to the City's insurance carrier. B. Conditions Caused by Beach Renourishment Project A A visitor complained in an email that the activities of the dredging company on the beach blocked off access and made the beach filthy. He also complained about dead fish on the beach. The City Manager explained in a reply why the renourishment was needed, the contractor would be finished soon, and hoped the visitor would return. He later forwarded an opinion from the County Beach Services Division that the dead fish might have been unwatched catch from offshore commercial fishing boats. 2. Major Projects A. Road/Sidewalk Improvements 1) Pedestrian Safety at Crosswalks on AlA Beach Boulevard No information to report. 2) Opening 2nd Street West of 2nd Avenue There has been no action by the owners of the lots on 2nd Street west of 2nd Avenue to open that street. The owners would have to sign an agreement and pay in advance the costs to construct the utilities and the road, just as the owners of the lots adjacent to 8th Street between the Boulevard and 2nd Avenue did. 3) Sidewalk on A Street A resident has suggested that a sidewalk is needed on A Street between the beach and the Boulevard because of the traffic and number of pedestrians and bicyclists along that section of A Street. The Public Works Director obtained a survey of this section of A Street. It appears that the right-of-way is wider along the north side of the street. The Director and the City Manager held a meeting on May 21'1 with the residents and property owners, to explain the project to them and learn whether they are in favor of it. Twelve persons attended. Most were not in favor of the sidewalk, but asked that a speed bump be put on this section of A Street and that drainage improvements be done. As A Street is owned by the County, the Public Works Director will ask the County whether it will approve these proposals. At its June 12th meeting, the City Commission approved submitting the sidewalk and two other projects to the Tourist Development Council for funding by bed tax revenue. B. Beach Matters 1) Off-Beach Parking Possible locations for improved right-of-way parking are the south side of 5th Street and the north side of th 4 , east of AlA Beach Boulevard, adjacent to the Island South condos. The Public Works Director asked t he City Commission to appropriate money for this project in the Fiscal Year 2018 budget. However, because money is needed to replenish the City's financial reserves, the paver project for 4th Street was postponed to FY 19. The bids for the 5th Street were opened on March 16, 2018. Seven bids were received. They ranged from $25,500 to $6.2,191. At its April 2nd meeting, the Commission awarded the bid to Constantine Contractors for $25,500. The project has been completed and will no longer be included in this Report. In the meantime, the City Commission asked t he Planning Board to develop a plan to prevent the side streets adjacent to the beach from becoming parking lots by beach visitors. The Board has recommended B a residential parking permit plan. Though discussion of the parking plan was on the agenda for the City Commission's June 5, 2017 meeting, the Commission decided to postpone the topic to a future joint meeting in t he spring with the Planning Board. The Commission held a special meeting on Monday, March th 19 , with the Planning Board to discuss the parking plan. Mayor George at the meeting spoke of Gainesville's pay by phone parking system and suggested t he City explore having a similar system. The Commission reviewed the information obtained from Gainesville at its April 2nd meeting and authorized the advertising of a Request for Proposals for a pay-by-phone system. Six proposals were received by the April 20th deadline. At its continuation meeting, the Commission decided to let St. Augustine implement its pay-by-phone system first, which will likely happen early in 2019. It's likely that St. Augustine will use of the six vendors, Passports, which responded to the City's Request for Proposals. ON A RELATED MATTER. At its May 7th meeting, the Commission decided to raise the fine for illegal parking to $75. The current fine is $20 and was adopted in 1996. The Commission also decided to set the fine illegally parking in a handicapped space at the maximum: $250. An ordinance to adopt these fees w ill be reviewed by the Commission at its July 2nd meeting. 2) Beach Renou rishment Project New sand (800,000 cubic yards) has been put on the beach from the middle of the State Park to 9th Street, th and the project was announced as finished on June 18 • This project will no longer be included in this Report. C. Parks 1) Ocean Hammock Park This Park is located on the east side of AlA Beach Boulevard between the Bermuda Run and Sea Colony subdivisions. It was originally part of an 18-acre vacant tract. Two acres were given to t he City by the original owners for conservation purposes and for where t he boardwalk to the beach is now located. The City purchased 11.5 acres in 2009 for $5,380,000, and received a Florida Communities Trust grant to reimburse it for part of the purchase price. The remaining 4.5 acres were left in private ownership. Thanks to a grant application prepared by the City's Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Melissa Burns, and to the presentation by then-Mayor Rich O' Brien at a Florida Communit ies Trust board meeting in February 2017, the City was awa rded $1.5 million to help it pay for the remaining 4.5 acres. In September, the Trust informed the City that two appraisals of the 4.5 acres were needed. The appraisals were completed in early November 2017 and sent to the Trust. The contract with t he Trust was then signed. The Trust has notified the City that a management plan for the Park is to be written. Ms. Burns is writing it. The Trust has informed her that the State may send the $1.5 million to the City in July 2018. 2) Hammock Dunes Park This 6.1-acre park is on the west side of A1A Beach Boulevard between the shopping plaza and t he Whispering Oaks subdivision. The County purchased the property in 2005 for $2.5 million. By written agreement, t he City reimbursed the County half the purchase price, or $1,250,000, plus interest. At its July 26' 2016, meeting, the County Commission approved t he transfer of the property's tit le to the City, w ith the condition that if the City ever decided to sell the property, it would revert back to the County. Such a sale is very unlikely, as the City Charter requires that the Commission by a vote of four members C approve the sale, and then the voters in a referendum must approve it. At this time, the City does not have the money to develop any trails or other amenities in the Park. D. Drainage Improvements 1) Piping of Mickler Boulevard Ditch between Pope Road and 16th Street Information has been provided under 1.A above. 2) Other Drainage Improvements These include 1'1 Street and 12th Street/12th Lane, east of the Boulevard, and Sandpiper Drive. The Commission will award the bid for these projects at its June 4th meeting. Please see the Public Works Director's report on page 22. E. Review of Comprehensive Plan/Land Development Regulations Information about this topic is provided under Item 5.B, strategic plan update, below. 3. Construction in the City As of Wednesday, June 20th, there were 25 permits active for single-family residences in the City.

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION No information to report about potential development of t he vacant property on the west side of A1A Beach Bouleva rd between 4th and 5th Streets, and on the east side of the Boulevard between 5th and 6th Streets. The Shell Shop opposite Cafe 11 at t he corner of 11th Street and the Boulevard has been sold. The building reportedly will become t he office of a realty company. An architect is discussing renovation plans with the Building Official. The Olde Carriage Realty office, 400 AlA Beach Boulevard, is closed. The building, after renovations, will reportedly be a non-franchise donut shop. At its March 20th meeting, the Planning Board held a concept review hearing on a proposal 4,960-foot commercial building on the east side of State Road AlA, between the Verizon and Savage Swimwear E stores. A final development plan will be submitted to the Board at a future meeting. The plan will then have to be approved by the City Commission 4. Finance and Budget A. Fiscal Year 2017 Budget Fiscal Year 2017 began on October 1, 2016, and ended on September 30, 2017. In January, the City's auditing firm, Purvis Gray, did the field work for the audit report. The report will be submitted at the City Commission's August 6th meeting. B. Fiscal Year 2018 Budget Fiscal Year 2018 began on October 1, 2017, and will end on September 30, 2018. May 31, 2018, marked the end of the eighth month of the fiscal year. As of May 31st, the City for its General Fund had received $4,591,141 and spent $3,863,035. Revenues are greater than expenditures by $728,106. In eight months of the fiscal year, the City received $2,619,431 or 95% of the revenue projected to be received from its major revenue source, property taxes. The projected total is $2,758,054. In the last quarter of the fiscal year (July through September), the City usually receives no money from property taxes. Overall, General Fund revenues in several categories are well ahead of what the City had received during the first eight months of the last fiscal year, while expenditures are less than they were this time a year ago. C. Vendor Checks Please see pages 24-50. D. Preparation of Fiscal Year 2019 Budget 5. Miscellaneous A. Permits for Upcoming Events In June 2018, the City Manager approved permit for the Vans Joel Tudor Duct Tape Festival on September 21 and 22, 2018, at the pier park. 6. Strategic Plan The plan's six tier one objectives adopted by the Commission are: 1. establish a plan for evaluating various events and their impact on the quality of life; 2. review additional revenue sources, including fees, grants, taxes, public/private partnerships, bonds, etc.; 3. review and update City codes and their enforcement: parking, traffic and speed limits, solid waste and land development regulations; 4. advocate for continued funding for beach renourishment (state and federal sources); 5. Increase and improve citizen engagement; and 6. develop a City-wide traffic management plan. An update on the progress of implementing these goals follows: 1. Evaluating Special Events: The Commission evaluated the effects of special events, especially major ones like the Diva Run half marathon, and decided not to allow such events any longer F in the City. Most of the special events now permitted take place at the pier park, and the City requires the organizers to pay for law enforcement services. Each year, the City permits a few SK runs. 2. Addit ional Revenue Sources: They are: a. Non-ad valorem assessment for col lecting and transporting solid waste and recyclables. The City staff proposed this in February 2018. The Commission asked that the proposal be brought back in October 2018 b. Florida Communities Trust grant: The $1.5 million grant will be sent to the City before the end of June 2018. c. Local option gas tax. In 2012, the City agreed to change in the distribution formula for this tax, which is provided by the County, in order to provide more revenue from the tax to the Town of Hastings. Now that the town has been unincorporated, the City Manager has asked the County to change the distribution formula so that the City can receive more revenue from the tax. In May, the County Administrator informed the City Manager that the County will not change the allocation. d. Parking fees. The Commission is working on a plan to charge visitors for off-beach parking by means of a mobile phone app. The Commission authorized a Request for Proposals at its April 2nd meeting. Six proposals were received by the April 20t h deadline. The Commission will discuss them at its June 4th meeting. 3. Updating City Code: a. Land Development Regulations: To date, the progress on adopting amendments to the Code is as follows: 1) Article II, Definitions: Changes were reviewed by the Commission at its January 6th meeting, and the City Attorney prepared an ordinance for first reading at the February 12th meeting. The first public hearing was held on March 5th, when the ordinance to change the definitions was passed on second reading. A second public hearing and final reading was held at the April 2nd Commission meeting. 2} Article 11 1, Land Use: Type, Density and Intensity was reviewed by the Commission at its February 12th meeting. The City Attorney prepared an ordinance for the Commission's March 5th meeting, when the Ordinance was passed on first reading. Its first public hearing and second reading was held at the Commission's April 2nd meeting. The second public hearing and final reading were done at the Commission's May ]lh meeting. 3) Article VI, Development Design and Improvement Standards: The Commission reviewed proposed changes at its March 5th meeting. The City Attorney prepared an ordinance for first reading at the April meeting. The ordinance was to be reviewed by the Planning Board at its April 17th meeting, but because the meeting ran late, the Board scheduled the review at the May 15th meeting. At that meeting, the Board discussed the reviews and decided that it needed more information. 4) Article VII, Fence Regulations: The Planning Board discussed new regulations for fences along AlA Beach Boulevard and made several recommendations, which the Commission reviewed at its February 12th meeting. The City Attorney has prepared an ordinance for first reading at the Commission's March 5th meeting. The major changes are that fences along AlA Beach Boulevard must be approved by the Planning Board and must be five G feet from the lot line adjacent to the Boulevard. Other changes concern temporary construction fences. The Planning Board must approve them. The Commission held a public hearing and second reading of the ordinance at its April 2nd meeting. It had its second public hearing and final reading at the Commission's May 7th meeting. 5) Article VIII, Sign Regulation Changes: In July 2016, the Commission approved a new sign code. Since then, there have been discussions about amending it. Most recently, at its February 12th meeting, the Commission discussed allowing a limited number of temporary signs of specific dimensions for businesses, and during temporary campaign signs on City property during early voting and through election day. The Commission reviewed the ordinance adopting these changes at its March 5th meeting, and held the first public hearing and second reading of the ordinance at the April 2nd meeting. It had its second public hearing and final reading at the Commission's May 7th meeting. In the meantime, several large signs that exceeded the 12-foot height limit in the sign code have been removed, mainly because of damage from hurricanes. They will be replaced by conforming signs. b. The Public Works Director proposed changes to the City's solid waste pickup regulations. This resulted in an ordinance, which the Commission approved at its December 7, 2015, meeting. c. The Director also _proposed changes to his Department's jurisdiction over the streets and rights-of-way. The Commission approved an ordinance adopting these changes at its May 91 2016, meeting. d. The Director then presented proposed changes to the City's on-street parking regulations to the Commission at its June 14, 2016, special meeting, when the Commission decided to prohibit parking on D Street, east of AlA Beach Boulevard. At its September 26th meeting, the Commission decided to refer all the on-street parking issues to the Planning Board. The Board held a meeting with residents of the streets east of the Boulevard, and one block west of the Boulevard, between 16th and F Streets. Those residents who attended did not want their streets used for off-beach parking. The Board made several recommendations, such as a residential parking permit system. The City Commission reviewed the recommendations at a special meeting on March 19, 2018. The City staff is to develop provisions for a residential permit parking plan, and provide an update to the Commission at its June 4th meeting. 4. Beach Renourishment: According to the Corps of Engineers, the renourishment project was started in mid-January 2018 and should be completed by the end of June 2018. The project area will be from the middle of the state park to 9th Street. 5. Improve Citizen Engagement: a. The Events Coordinator handles biogs and social media. The first issue of the City's electronic newsletter was issued in November 2015. It now has over a thousand readers, and double that number through a link with Facebook. The Facebook page was especially helpful in providing information to the public during Hurricane Matthew. The City Manager provides a monthly City Hall Update report and a longer article for the e-newsletter. H b. The City Manager provides a monthly article to the St. Augustine Record's monthly newspaper, The Anastasia Island Community Journal. c. In December, he wrote an update for the other monthly newspaper, the St. Augustine and the Beaches News Journal, about the Commission's selection of Vice Mayor Undine George and Commissioner Margaret England as Mayor and Vice Mayor, respectively, for 2018; the selection by the Commission of Mr. Donald Samora as the Interim Commissioner to serve the remainder of the term {to December 31, 2018) of Mr. Gary Snodgrass, who resigned from the Commission in November; the assignment of Commissioners to various boards and committees, such as Mayor George being the City's representative on the Tourist Development Council, Commissioner O'Brien serving on the Visitors and Convention Bureau, Commissioner England continuing to be the City's representative on the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization, and Commissioner Samora being the City's liaison to the Chamber of Commerce. The update concluded with a list of some of the City's goals for 2018, such as the holding of special meetings by the Commission to address such issues as parking, communication with the Planning Board, and the City's budget. d. The City Manager now uses Twitter to provide information to residents about such matters as changes to dates of Commission meetings. e. The City administration now uses the Facebook page to provide a link to agenda topics and to provide information about City matters to the public. 6. Workshop with County Commission: At its January 6th meeting, the Commission decided to ask the County Commission for a joint meeting in May or June 2018. The City Manager forwarded this request to the County Administrator, who replied that he would have a staff member coordinate a date. In May, the Administrator asked for a list of topics for the joint meeting. Using the topics that were discussed at the last joint meeting in May 2017, Mayor George and the City Manager compiled a list, .which was sent to the County Administrator. Also, at its January 6th meeting, the City Commission discussed whether to hire again Mrs. Marilyn Crotty, the facilitator who helped the Commission develop the strategic plan in 2015. Ms. Crotty told the City Manager she would charge $1,800 for a six-hour session to update the strategic plan. The Commission decided at its February meeting not to hire her, but to consider possibly updating the strategic plan later in 2018, after the adoption of changes to the Land Development Regulations had been completed. 7. Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report Every seven years, Florida cities and counties must prepare the report. The City advertised a Request for Proposals, but received only one. Because its prices were so high, it had to be rejected. After the proposals had been opened, two Jacksonville planning firms said they were interested in doing the work. However, only one, Fleet and Associates, provided a written proposal. At its May 7th meeting, the Commission approved the hiring of Fleet and Associates.

AUGUSTINE BEACH City Hall PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD 2200 A I A South -: ~·: REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING TUESDAY, MAY 15, 2018 St. Augustine Beach, FL 32080 6:00 P.M. I. CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE III. ROLL CALL BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairperson Jane West, Vice-Chairperson Elise Sloan, Jeffrey Holleran, Hester Longstreet, Steve Mitherz, Roberta Odom, Zachary Thomas, Senior Alternate Kevin Kincaid [Recording Secretary's Note: Chairperson Jane West arrived at the meeting at 6: 10 p. m. and was not present for roll-call or the approval ofthe April 17, 2018 minutes]. BOARD MEMBERS ABSENT: Junior Alternate Chris Pranis. STAFF PRESENT: Building Official Brian Law, City Attorney James Wilson, Crime Prevention Officer Ed Martinez, Recording Secretary Bonnie Miller. IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF APRIL 17, 2018 REGULAR MEETING Motion: to approve the minutes of the April 17, 2018 regular monthly meeting. Moved by Ms. Odom, seconded by Mr. Holleran, passed 7-0 by unanimous voice-vote. V. PUBLIC COMMENT Ed Slavin, P. 0. Box 3084, St. Augustine, Florida, 32085, said last Sunday, The St. Augustine Record ran a front page article about Embassy Suites, the too-big monstrosity rubber-stamped by this Board a couple of years ago. The caption for this article said Embassy Suites was going to have 212 rooms, but the final development order approved by this Board said it will have 175 rooms. He filed an open records request to find out where the extra rooms came from, and the response from City Manager Max Royle was that this was for Phase II, and that the developer was coming back to ask for more rooms. As Embassy Suites is on tonight's agenda for a final development application modification, he asked the Board to ask the developer's agent from Akerman LLP what they have in mind for Phase II; and if they plan to take the volleyball courts or part of the St. Johns County fishing pier away to do this. Embassy Suites is too big and too tall, - 3 - doesn't have enough parking, and the same applies to Salt Life, and the reconstruction of Panama Hattie's, which came before the Board last month. Craig Thomson, 6-A D Street, St. Augustine Beach, Florida, 32080, said he thinks the City is often left in a reactive versus a proactive role when it comes to planning. In reviewing things like setbacks and impervious surface coverage, whether or not proposed changes comply with the Comprehensive Plan should also be considered. Other things like protecting waterways from stormwater run-off and creating policies to protect the City's tree canopy need to be considered and reviewed, as they spend too much time reacting to the interests of developers, instead of being persistent and proactive in promoting the community's environmental interests. They also need to be better informed and get better interpretations and responses from staff. This City doesn't have any certified planners with professional degrees on staff, so they rely on the Building Official for answers to code interpretations on things like porous pavers and impervious surface coverage, setbacks, and building height, but the problem is, the Building Official is not a Planning Official. Mr. Law said regarding Embassy Suites, the final development order specifies 175 rooms. He's looked at the plans, and counted the number of rooms several times, and everything appears to be accurate and in accordance with the final development order approved and issued by this Board. VI. OLD BUSINESS A. Continued from the Board's April 17, 2018 regular monthly meeting, review of proposed revisions to Article VI of the City of St. Augustine Beach Land Development Regulations (LDRs), for the Board's recommendation to the City Commission to adopt said revisions pertaining to development design and improvement standards Mr. Law reviewed the summary sheet of proposed changes to Article VI of the LDRs, which was provided to the Board in their meeting packet information, and said he's been challenged by many groups, which he believes includes this Board, to end the unregulated use of pavers in the City. His recommendation is to allow 50 percent maximum impervious surface coverage in low density residential land use districts, leave the current 50 percent maximum impervious surface coverage in medium density residential land use districts as it is, and put a cap on the amount of pavers that can be used in yards, to allow an additional 15 percent for paver materials that have a 10 percent or greater permeability. This would put a finite rule on any kind of paver materials in excess of 50 percent impervious surface coverage and close the open end of exception. Ms. West asked how they are supposed to determine the permeability of pavers, other than by looking at the manufacturer's information. Mr. Law said if an application utilizing pavers is submitted for plan review, he'll ask for the manufacturer's data sheet, which will become part of the official record of the application and be stapled to the job copy plans, so the City's building inspector will look at it. At this point, he sees three choices for impervious surface coverage ratios. They can retain the current 40 percent maximum impervious surface coverage for low density residential with unchecked pavers; allow 65 percent maximum impervious surface coverage including pavers, pools, sidewalks, and air- - 4 - conditioning pads; or increase the maximum impervious surface coverage for low density residential zoning to 50 percent, to match maximum impervious surface coverage allowed for medium density residential, with a maximum cap for both low and medium density residential of 65 percent including the provision for pavers that have a 10 percent or greater permeability. He pointed out the City has three residential Planned Unit Developments (PUDs), Bermuda Run, Sea Grove and the Cottages at St. Augustine Beach. The Bermuda Run PUD ordinance was adopted in 1985, and doesn't really address impervious surface ratio. Impervious surface ratio for single family residential construction in Sea Grove is 70 percent maximum, and the Cottages at St. Augustine Beach PUD has a 56 percent maximum impervious surface ratio coverage. Ms. West asked for public comment. Dennis King, 2 Sunfish Drive, St. Augustine Beach, Florida, 32080, said he bought a fixer-upper on the comer of Sunfish Drive and A Street, and would like the City to shoot for 50 percent maximum impervious surface coverage in all residential zoning. His lot size is roughly 10,000 square feet and the total square footage of his house is roughly 2,600-square feet, so right now, he's at 38 percent total lot coverage including his driveway, sidewalk, and everything else. He'd like to add a little pool bath and a back porch, but he's right there near the 40 percent impervious surface ratio cap, so to be able to do something like that, he'd probably have to tear up his concrete driveway and replace it with brick pavers. He can't justify tearing out a perfectly good driveway, so that's why he's here. He's guessing impervious surface ratio is basically a drainage issue, but really doesn't ·understand why there would be a difference between medium density residential zoning, which has 50 percent maximum impervious surface ratio coverage, and low density residential zoning, which has 40 percent maximum impervious surface ratio coverage, as far as drainage and saturation rates are concerned. In all honesty, impervious surface ratio coverage isn't as important as actual building coverage, which is capped at 35 percent for all residential zoning. Ms. West asked Mr. King if the total square footage of his house was 2,600-square feet when he bought his house, or if he made any additions to it to bring it up to 2,600-square feet. Mr. King said his house was 2,600-square feet when he bought it. He has a pool in the backyard, which restricts what he can do from now on, even though he only wants to expand a little bit. Jen Lomberk, 291 Cubbedge Road, St. Augustine, Florida, 32080, said she's the new Matanzas Riverkeeper, working for a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the health and the water quality of the Matanzas River and its tributaries. She's here to caution the Board against increasing the aJlowable impervious surface ratio for the City of St. Augustine Beach, specifically regarding the proposed amendment to Section 6.01.02.C of the LDRs, which Mr. Law mentioned had a loophole that essentially allows complete coverage if pervious pavers are used. As the revisions are currently drafted, it appears this loophole has been addressed for low density and medium density residential land use districts, but it seems it still exists for high density residential and commercial land use districts, so she recommends revisions be considered to address this. Also, she recommends that the proposed 15 percent increase in low and medium density residential land use districts for pavers with a 10 percent or greater permeability be clarified to specify whether it's just that additional 15 percent that has to meet the 10 percent permeability or if this applies to everything outside of the building footprint, because it seems that would open up some doors for - 5 - confusion as to how that IO percent or greater permeability is interpreted. She'd also like to point out that while pervious materials are definitely a more environmentally-friendly option than impervious surface materials, they're not completely without their own drawbacks. Porous materials have the potential to become clogged by sediments and debris, which can essentially render them impervious if they're not properly maintained over time, and the City doesn't have the resources to police maintenance of these impervious surface areas. Pervious coverage is still coverage, which means even with pervious pavers, there is still no room for vegetation. Vegetative coverage on a lot increases water infiltration, which mitigates flooding and nutrient pollution into the community's waterways. Her recommendation would be for the City to consider an incentive program to encourage people to use pervious and vegetative surfaces, perhaps by offering discounts and/or reimbursements for stormwater fees, tax incentives and things like that, and to leave the maximum impervious surface ratio coverages as they currently are. Ed Slavin, P. 0. Box 3084, St. Augustine, Florida, 32085, said he strongly agrees with the Matanzas Riverkeeper, and also counsels and urges that the City not be dependent upon industry or manufacturers' data sheets. Staff should do its own research pertaining to paver material standards and information. They need to have a systematic review of all PUDs in the City, to see if they're complying with the purpose of PUDs. Regarding protocol for Board meetings, he thinks Planning and Zoning Board members should be elected and accountable to members of the public. Witnesses should be sworn, and allowed to be cross-examined and questioned by the public. They need to have full disclosure of all of the beneficial owners of every single limited liability corporation and every single applicant, because otherwise, under Chapter 1 l 2.313(7)(a) of the Florida Statutes, how do they know if someone has a conflict of interest? For those who have professional licenses, disclosure of every single client needs to be given publicly, and there need to be no more meetings between Board members and applicants. This Board needs a more welcoming spirit, as it seems the members have a chip on their shoulders at times. People are entitled to be treated with dignity, respect and consideration. These are quasi-judicial meetings, so the Board members need to conduct themselves as a judge would, without bias, prejudice, and without showing favoritism or discrimination towards applicants and developers. Craig Thomson, 6-A D Street, St. Augustine Beach, Florida, 32080, said saying the way the LDRs address impervious surface ratio coverage right now allows someone to pave their whole lot is a fear-based comment made to try to scare the Board into doing something they shouldn't do. When Mr. Law presented the proposed increase in the impervious surface ratios to the City Commission, that was his opening statement. The definition of alternative porous paving materials says water has to drain through the paving materials and be absorbed into an absorption pad, so it doesn't run off. The whole key here is controlling run-off, which in the City's Comprehensive Plan as a goal to help preserve waterways and keep groundwaters where they should be. Increasing impervious surface coverage is a developer-driven proposal, and as there is only one major development, Ocean Ridge, under construction right now in the City, who's going to profit by increasing the lot coverage? The same applies to proposed revisions to allow bump-outs for architectural features and flexible setbacks to save trees. All this is being done to satisfy one developer, and while he agrees some allowances can be made for porous paving materials, increasing impervious surface ratios will cause problems for trees and waterways. Impervious surface coverage is a major element in any zoning code, so the Board needs to take a hard look at this and make a recommendation consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. - 6 - Margie Lasi, 46 Ocean Pines Drive, St. Augustine Beach, Florida, 32080, said if there's a loophole in the impervious surface ratio regulations it needs to be fixed and if there's abuse of these regulations they need to stop it now. Porous or permeable pavers need to be defined as to what they should be, and allowed within the constraints of the total impervious surface coverage. Increasing impervious surface ratio isn't good for trees and waterways, nor is it good for the City's stormwater system, so she's surprised Public Works Director Joe Howell isn't here to discuss this. If the last development in the City, which is almost built-out, has 40 percent maximum impervious surface ratio coverage, the City's stormwater system was designed, and permits for construction were issued, based on this, so increasing impervious surface ratio coverage after-the-fact, when they're now getting stronger storms and the sea level is rising, will cause huge flooding problems and enormous drainage issues, as they don't have a system in place to accommodate that. Mr. Law said the Board members were provided ·copies of a memo from Public Works Director Joe Howell on the proposed impervious surface ratio revisions. He displayed this memo on the overhead screens for the members of the public to view and read. Ms. West said the impervious surface ratio regulations need some tweaking, for sure, but she doesn't think they need the type of adjustment recommended by staff. If the City has a provision in its Comprehensive Plan, as referenced by Mr. Thomson, that basically allows for single-family residential development to have a maximum of 40 percent site coverage, which includes structures, roadways, parking, and sidewalks, she's concerned that making modifications to the LDRs is going to create an inconsistency. It's already really chaJlenging for the Board to try to figure out what the applicable criteria is and make sure they' re applying it accordingly. They're in a particularly vulnerable time in terms of flooding, as they've had two major storm events, and she doesn't want to take any drastic action that's going to exacerbate what they've all experienced first-hand. Ms. Sloan said having been on this Board for a number of years, she remembers one of their big problems in the past has been with the definition of pervious and impervious. With last year's flooding in Texas, it was pointed out a lot of problems were due to a lack of regulations and the fact that they weren't paying attention to drainage, and had paved over everything. Certainly, being on a barrier island between two major waterways isn't something to be taken lightly. They need the ability for drainage because they don't want water to not have any place to go. She'd like to have the opportunity to read the Matanzas Riverkeeper's comments, which Ms. Lomberk said she'd provide in writing, and would like to continue this particular issue, because it's important. Ms. Odom said this is a nice little beach town, and that's the way they want to keep it. She doesn't want it to become a concrete jungle, and doesn't understand the purpose of increasing impervious surface coverage, as she thinks they're doingjust fine with current maximum impervious coverage. Ms. West said it sounds like they need a little more information, and thanked Ms. Lomberk for her presentation. She agreed with the idea of having someone from St. Johns River Water Management District educate them a little more and having a neutral third party talk to them about this. Motion: to continue the review of proposed revisions to Article VI of the City of St. Augustine Beach Land Development Regulations, specifically to acquire more information pertaining to impervious surface ratio coverage, for the Board's recommendation to the City Commission to - 7 - adopt said revisions pertaining to development design and improvement standards until the Board's next meeting scheduled on Tuesday, June 19, 2018, at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall. Moved by Ms. Sloan, seconded by Ms. Longstreet, passed 7-0 by the Board by unanimous voice-vote. VII. NEW BUSINESS A. Final Development File No. FD 2018-02, for amendment to Final Development Order File No. FD 2015-01, for a spray playground with a maximum height of the uppermost splash equipment at approximately 28.5 feet on the northeast comer of Embassy Suites, in a commercial land use district at 300 AlA Beach Boulevard, Thomas 0. Ingram, Akerman LLP, Agent for Key Beach North LLC, Applicant Mr. Law said when the final development order for Embassy Suites was issued, multiple pools were allowed, and a splash pad is regulated as a pool. It has appropriate permitting from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and is on a deep-pile foundation. However, the splash pad slide was inadvertently left out in the final development order, so in an abundance of caution, his department decided it would be best to come before this Board and the City Commission for a modification to the final development order to incorporate the slide. The splash pad meets the setbacks and the slide is well under 35 feet in height. The City's LDRs do not, at this point, regulate interactive water features or slides, but what's proposed complies with the intent of the Code, as far as setbacks and not exceeding the 35-foot maximum building height. Tom Ingram, Akerman LLP, 50 North Laura Street, Suite 3100, Jacksonville, Florida, 32202, agent for applicant, Key Beach North LLC, developer of the Embassy Suites project, said this is for the installation of splash equipment at the northeast corner of the site: The manufacturer for this equipment is Vortex International, which makes splash pad amenities that are installed all over the world. Basically, it is the product ofsome focus work done for a $600,000 piece of equipment intended to serve as an amenity to hotel guests, primarily geared for children of pre-teen age and under. There was a collective lack ofrealization that splash equipment had to go before this Board and the City Commission for approval, otherwise, they would have been here sooner. However, they're here now, and have worked with Mr. Law to try to make sure everything is in compliance. Ms. West said she remembers when Mr. Ingram came before the Board a few years ago with the Embassy Suites project presentation, and asked that the renderings that were given to the Board at that time be displayed on the overhead screens. She asked Mr. Ingram to explain where the splash pad and slide were inadvertently left off the renderings, because they're definitely not part ofthem. Mr. Ingram said between the concept and final development plans, the pool shape changed, as the final development plan shows a different pool configuration. He displayed a rendering of the project as it was approved and said the area where the splash pad is proposed was originally envisioned to be a hardscape and landscaping area. One of the challenges with this whole process of concept and final development submittal is that full architectural design and engineering work had not yet been developed. No one is trying to mislead the Board by any means, but this a very large investment, and the final development plans were reviewed and approved by this Board. Ms. West said the splash pad and slide were not part of the final development plans reviewed and - 8 - approved by this Board. She remembers quite well the images and renderings that were presented to the Board as well as Mr. Ingram's presentation of the project as attempting to create a peaceful, tranquil resort setting that was exceptionally calm. Keeping in mind that this property site is directly adjacent to the Anastasia State Park, the home of several endangered species, including a nesting colony that she doesn't think is going to take well to a 28.5-foot-tall splash park. It's a completely different feel from what this Board was sold on a couple of years ago. It's more than just oops, we forgot a slide, and it's so out of character with what they were told would be built. Mr. Ingram said there's a children's splash pad literally next door at Pier Park, and there was a slide on this site before the hotel that was previously there was demolished. People come here for recreation, so this is the developer's attempt to provide a great, safe, and fun experience for kids. Ms. Sloan asked if there will be fencing around the splash pad, and how high the fencing will be. Mr. Ingram said there will be a four-foot-high fence, which is a pretty common height for fencing around public pool areas. Fencing pool areas requires balancing, as small children need to be kept safe in terms of their ability to access it, but parents also have to be able to see into pool areas. Mr. Thomas asked if people are going to be coming off the beach and trying to access the splash pad, and if there is going to be a larger fence around the perimeter of the property site. Mr. Ingram said access to the splash equipment will be controlled, and it is for hotel guests only. Ms. Sloan said she understands the hotel will have security, but the proposed location of the splash equipment is right next to the Pope Road parking lot, as well as right next to the State Park. People are going to be able to see this at 28.5 feet tall, and part of the criteria for the Board's review of this application is whether the proposed development should be more thoroughly and publicly reviewed because of its complexity, hazardousness, or location. This is one of her concerns, that it will be very visible and easily accessible to people parking in the Pope Road area, the State Park, and out on the beach. A four-foot-high fence is really not much for keeping anybody out. Mr. Law said Chapter 4 of the Florida Building Code regulates pools, and in regard to commercial pools, says there has to be a 48-inch minimum fence with a 54-inch latch in accordance with State regulations. Keep in mind this will be shut down at night, as this isn't a 24-hour operation, and water won't stay running in the splash equipment around the clock. "Interactive water feature" is the official term for this, and the Florida Building Code allows and regulates it. Mr. Mitherz asked if the splash playground would be used only for hotel guests, or if it would be open to the public. He also asked what will happen to the splash pad structure in the event of a hurricane, and if it will be a permanent structure. Mr. Ingram said it is an amenity for hotel guests, and it is a permanent structure. Ms. Longstreet asked if a lifeguard will be present when there are children in the splash pad. Mr. Ingram said he doesn't believe the splash pad will have a lifeguard. There will be no standing -9- water there, as it's designed so that there can' t be any more than just water run-off from the pad. Ms. Odom said what they originally looked at when Embassy Suites was approved a few years ago was that it would have two pools. She asked if there will now be one pool and the splash pad. Ms. West said the final development order also states Embassy Suites will have multiple swimming pools, but nothing about a playground with an interactive water feature. Mr. Ingram said a splash pad was not proposed in the final development plan application. Just to be clear, this is a new request for an amendment to the final development plan for the splash pad. Ms. West said it also requires an amendment to the final development order for the elimination of one of the pools, as this removes the plurality of the pools as stated in the final development order, Mr. Ingram said his client's application shows what was approved and recorded, and he believes he informed this Board that the pool configuration had changed from the first conceptual elevations. Th_is is not an effort to try to mislead the Board, but he knows that between the concept plan and the final plan that was submitted the pool design changed, and it's reflected in the plans that were approved. They made a good faith effort to comply then, and they're making one now. He reviewed the approved plans in preparation for this hearing, and they show one pool. Mr. Holleran said since impervious and pervious pavers are a discussion issue, and it looks like the splash pad site has a ton of pavers, he asked if this will help or add to the drainage, or make it worse, and if the splash pad has an extra holding tank to handle the overflow. Mr. Ingram said the earlier final development plan showed a mix of hardscaping and landscaping in the vicinity where the splash pad is proposed, and while the splash pad involves water, it is an impervious area. There's a recirculating pump to recirculate water, which drains, collects through, comes back out, and is treated. It also has tanks and a filtration system, much like a pool would. Ms. West asked for public comment. Ed Slavin, P. 0. Box 3084, St. Augustine, Florida, 32085, said it's not a pool, per the definition of pool in Black's Law Dictionary. Comparing this obnoxious, monstrous splash park to the little splash park at Pier Park, which is basically just an outdoor shower, is kind oflike comparing apples and hand grenades. Ms. West and the rest of the Board members have nailed it in pointing out it' s an attractive nuisance that kids are going to sneak into and climb on, and someone's going to get hurt, as it isn't going to have a lifeguard. There are endangered turtles in Anastasia State Park, as they nest here. Turtles go all over the world, and then they come back here to lay their eggs, next to this monstrous, obnoxious splash park. For the record, when this property was purchased, he spoke to the managing partner for Akerman LLP, who was a former mayor of Miami Beach, and suggested that what the owners of this property should do is trade this piece of property for air rights over a future pier, and have an unmolested and untrashed continuous par~ between Pier Park and Anastasia State Park. They didn't do that, and now they're hearing about Phase II of the Embassy Suites project, which he asked about earlier. He asked if someone could please tell them, under oath, what Phase II is, and if they're planning on taking the volleyball courts. Also, in the - 10 - future, he asked that the Board swear witnesses. This presentation from Akerman LLP was sloppy, environmental impact statements from the applicant are needed, and the Board should reject it. Ms. West said as a point ofclarification , she didn' t swear Mr. Ingram in because he's not a witness, he's the applicant's agent. As everyone may recall, one of the contentious issues with this the last time around was determining what the initial starting elevation was, so going back over her notes, and a memo from former Building Official Gary Larson, Mr. Larson determined that the coastal elevation was at 18 feet, and that elevation establishes the first level of usable space for occupancy, basically the lobby level. The current lower level elevation, where the parking will be, is located roughly at 9.3 feet. So, from what she can tell from the diagrams submitted with this final development modification application, this splash pad is going to be at the same level as the lobby level, which really puts it at a height of 18 feet plus the 28-foot-high slide, for a height of 46 feet. Mr. Ingram said he believes the elevation of the site is approximately 10 feet above mean sea level, and it goes up from that. The equipment itself is roughly 28.5 feet tall from bottom to top above the finished grade, and this area is actually a little lower than the lobby. In terms of building codes in coastal high hazard areas, the primary concern with elevation is habitable structures, which this is obviously not, it's playground equipment, so it can be lower than a habitable structure. Ms. West asked where the elevations are that show that. Mr. Law said contour lines around the splash equipment are shown on page 38 of the application. Mr. Ingram said page 38, which is an exhibit that is part of the DEP permit for the splash pad, shows an elevation of approximately 14 feet above sea level. Ms. West said that puts it at 42 feet, if it's built starting at 14 feet, and it's a 28-foot-high structure. Mr. Ingram said what Ms. West is saying is that the top of the structure is 42 feet above sea level. Ms. Sloan said that would be from the street view. Mr. Ingram said the street is much higher than sea level. Ms. Sloan said again, going back to the contentious issues of which they've heard a lot about from the public, she remembers the site was built up to get to that 18 feet, and that is what a lot of folks are not happy about, because it is not 35 feet, as structures in this City are limited to be. Mr. Ingram introduced Shawn Gracey, executive vice-president for hospitality for Key International, and Jason Kern, general manager for this hotel here at the beach. In the Board's deliberations, he asked if they're looking for some reason to deny this, they consider what the legal standards are for doing that, as the applicant has invested a lot to make this a successful project. Ms. West thanked everyone for being here. Speaking only for herself, she really wants to stick with what was originally proposed and not tackify the beach. She has problems from a legal perspective, as the body of the final development order very explicitly states multiple swimming - 11 - pools, and her understanding of this modification contemplates one pool and an interactive water feature, which is not a tenn governed by City Code. As the elimination of a pool makes it non compliant with the text of the final development order, the modification to this order contemplates not only the addition of the interactive water feature, but also the elimination of a pool. Mr. Wilson said it's his understanding that DEP regulations consider these things the same as pools, so if the Board is telling the applicant they're going to have to put another pool in, they need to figure out where they're getting the authority to do this. If the final development plan shows that two pools were approved and the DEP considers the interactive water feature to be a pool, he doesn't know where the applicant is off base on this. He asked Ms. West what her basis is for denying a request to modify the final development order, legally, if this is a·pool under DEP rules., which he believes it is, based on what Mr. Law has told him. Mr. Law said the Department of Health, which issues permits prior to submittal for a permit from the local building department, regulates interactive water features as commercial pools under the Florida Building Code, and they are treated as pools. Mr. Ingram said there is a jacuzzi that was part of the original final development plan. He's sorry he didn't bring this up earlier, but he just didn't see it. Maybe this is where the statement referencing multiple pools in the final development order came from. Ms. West said she continues to have concerns about the calculation ofelevation, as the memo from the City very explicitly states the coastal elevation is at 18 feet, and that's how this hotel was built. Even at 10 feet, or 14 feet, which is the elevation shown within the application package, they're looking at a 28-foot-high structure, putting the height at 42 feet, which is not in compliance with the Code, so she has concerns with the phrasing of the final development order and the elevations. Mr. Mitherz said the structure was said to be hurricane-proof, meaning that it will not be taken down, and that it will be built on a concrete pad. He asked if this is correct. Mr. Law said if it suits the Board, he'd love to come up to the podium and explain the whole lowest horizontal structural member, which is affecting the hotel. Ms. West said she doesn't think they need that, she thinks they just need an answer to the question on whether the interactive water feature will be disassembled in the event of a hurricane. Mr. Law said no, it is designed as an engineered component by an outside engineer registered in the State of Florida. This will be a pennanent structure built to the current structural design criteria of the Florida Building Code, and it is a pool built on a deep-pile foundation in accordance with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE 24), which is recognized under national law as a design standard, so the pool itself, as Mr. Ingram pointed out, can be below that 18-foot elevation Ms. West is referencing. However, that's the DEP reference monument, which he believes was set forth in January 1988, as the State of Florida establishe9 reference monuments up and down the coastlines, on both the east and west coasts of Florida. These monuments tell you what they think the 100-year elevation is. From there, you can pay the DEP to do a site specific, which will give you a lower elevation, by about two to three feet, from what he's seen in this community. - 12 - Under federal protocol, that lowest horizontal beam will reference the 100-year event set forth under three standards: DEP monuments, the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), or a local determination. Obviously, they're not going to locally determine a 100-year event, so that's just a little basic explanation for determining the lowest horizontal structural member, if it helps any. Motion: to recommend the City Commission deny the application for Final Development File No. FD 2018-02, for amendment to the final development order issued for Embassy Suites to incorporate a spray playground with a height of the uppermost splash equipment at approximately 28.5 feet at the northeast comer of the property site at 300 Al A Beach Boulevard. Moved by Ms. West, seconded by Mr. Mitherz, passed 7-0 by the Board by unanimous voice-vote. VIII. BOARD COMMENT Ms. West asked how the new starting time at 6:00 p.m. for Board meetings is working out for everyone. By general oral consensus, the Board members agreed they liked it. Mr. Thomas said this will be his last meeting, as he and his family are moving off the Island. Ms. West said that means the Board's senior alternate, Mr. Kincaid, will take Mr. Thomas' place as a regular member starting next month, and the Board will have an opening for a new alternate. She asked how everyone's summer looks, as she won't be here for the July meeting, but she thinks it's far enough out that they don't have anything on the July agenda, and requested that they not have a Planning and Zoning Board meeting for the month of July. She said she'll represent the Board at the City Commission's regular monthly meeting in June. Mr. Law said right now, they wouldn't know about the July agenda, as it's too early, and they're still closing out the June agenda. If applicants miss the cut-off date for June and there's not a July meeting, they'll be postponing applicants for over 30 days, but he'll pass this request on. IX. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m. Jane West, Chairperson Bonnie Miller, Recording Secretary (THIS MEETTNG HAS BEEN RECORDED IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE RECORDING WILL BE KEPT ON FILE FOR THE REQUIRED RETENTION PERIOD. COMPLETE VIDEO CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.ST AUGBCrl.COM OR BY CONTACTING THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER AT 904471-2122.) - 13 - COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD OF THE CITY OF ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH, FLORIDA REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 2018, 7:00 P.M. NEW BUSINESS 1. CONDITIONAL USE FILE NO. CU 2018-03, filed by Jennifer Hays, 100 Serenity Bay Boulevard, St. Augustine Beach, Florida, 32080, for a conditional use permit for a home occupation, per Sections 3.02.02, 7.02.01, 10.03.00-10.03.04 of the City of St. Augustine Beach Land Development Regulations, for a real estate appraiser on Lot 25, Serenity Bay Subdivision, at 100 Serenity Bay Boulevard. The Board voted 7-0 by unanimous voice-vot e to grant this conditional use permit for a home occupation for a period of ten (10) ten years. 2. LAND USE VARIANCE FILE NO. VAR 2018-04, filed by Douglas Burnett, St. Johns Law Group, 104 Sea Grove Main Street, St. Augustine Beach, Florida, 32080, agent for Steven T. and Lara L. Kocerka, 429 Ocean Forest Drive, St. Augustine Beach, Florida, 32080, for a land use variance for a rear yard setback reduction from ten (10) feet to five ( 5) feet for a screen enclosure addition to an existing single family residence on Lot 88, Anastasia Dunes Unit Two Subdivision, at 429 Ocean Forest Drive. The Board voted 7-0 by unanimous voice-vote to approve this variance request subject to the conditions that the pavers on which the screen enclosure addition will be built must meet the requisite impervious surface ratio standards for low density residential land use districts, and that the said screen enclosure addition shall be a screen cage enclosure only. 3. ORDINANCE NO. 18-09, passed on first reading by the City Commission at t he cont inuation of its June 4, 2018 regular monthly meeting held June 12, 2018, to amend the City's Future Land Use Map to change the Comprehensive Plan's designat ion and land use of approximately 4 .5 acres in Ocean Hammock Park, 902 AlA Beach Boulevard, St. Augustine Beach, Florida, 32080, from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to Pa rks and Recreation. The Board voted 7-0 by unanimous voice-vote to recommend the City Commission pass adoption of this ordinance on final reading. 4. RESCHEDULING OF AUGUST REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING, due to the Supervisor of Elections Office occupying the City Commission Meeting Room from August 16, 2018 through August 29, 2018, t he Board agreed, by general oral consensus, to reschedule the Board's regular monthly for the month of August to Tuesday, August 14, 2018, at 6 :00 p.m . at City Hall. OLD BUSINESS There was no old business. - 14 - MINUTES REGULAR TREE BOARD/BEAUTIFICATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING CITY OF ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH City Hall THURSDAY, MAY 24, 2018 2200 AIA South 6:00 P.M. St. Augustine Beach, FL 32080 I. CALL TO ORDER Chair Krempasky called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m. II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Committee recited the Pledge of Allegiance. III. ROLL CALL Present: Chair Sandra Krempasky, Vice Chair Alex Farr, Member LeaAnn Lombari, Member Craig Thomson, Member Ann Palmquist, Member Kay Watkins, and Alternate Jeanette Smith. Member Lonnie Kaczmarsky was absent. Also Present: Building and Grounds Foreman Tom Large and Recording Secretary Dariana Fitzgerald. IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF APRIL 16,2018, REGULAR MEETING Chair Krempasky introduced Item IV and then asked for a motion. Motion: To approve the Board/Committee minutes for April 16, 2018. Moved by: Vice Chair Farr. Seconded by: Member Smith. Motion passed unanimously. V. PRESENTATION BY MR. GREG DUNN, ST. JOHNS COUNTY FORESTER Mr. Greg Dunn, Senior Forester, Florida Forest Service, stated that the Urban Forestry Grant had been delayed this year, but should be available in July or August. He suggested using the grant to hire someone to develop an Urban Forestry Management Plan to figure out what species of trees are needed and areas where there are enough or not enough trees. The Plan also helps to inform residents of the City's direction. He said the grant pays 50% and the City must cover the other 50%. Member Lombari asked what the maximum grant was and Mr. Dunn said he thinks it is $20,000 or $30,000, but is not certain. Member Lombari asked for the difference between laurel oaks and live oaks. Mr. Dunn stated that there are a lot of differences between those two, but not many between a laurel oak and a water oak. Live oaks are hardy, salt-tolerant, long-lived, and have thick, chalky bark. Laurel & water oaks have smooth bark, but tend to have root problems and die between 50-70 years. Laurel oaks grow quicker than live oaks. Oaks will produce more acorns when the trees are under stress as a survival mechanism. - 15 - The Committee discussed putting out an RFP for a planner to see how much this Management Plan may cost. Motion: To have Vice Chair Alex Farr draft an RFP to hire a planner for an Urban Forest Management Plan. Moved by Member Thomson. Seconded by Member Lombari. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Dunn stated that the grant could be used for four categories: tree planting, Arbor Day programs, management plan., and education. The Committee discussed salt intrusion and rising water levels. Mr. Dunn said that there would need to be consistent salt intrusion without fresh water following to damage the trees noticeably. Mr. Dunn stated that pine trees absorb lots of water, but that comes with the danger of attracting lightning. Mr. Dunn recommended planting seedlings no bigger than a 3-gallon container (about a 5 or 6-foot tree, depending on species) to allow the trees to grow into the space and the roots to properly spread to support the size of the tree. Larger gallon plantings tend to have root issues which slow the growth of the trees. He also advised that sometimes trees are planted too deep, which will shorten the tree's life. He recommended planting several small trees in an area and removing some later once you can see how they're growing. The Committee spoke with Mr. Dunn about potential education programs he could do for the City. They would like to begin planning the City's Arbor Day celebration earlier. There was discussion on pruning and planting practices, distances between trees, and locations to plant. VI. PRESENTATION OF REPORTS: A. Dr. Kaczmarsky: 1. Resolution for Urban Forestry Grant Member Kaczmarsky was absent, so this item was not discussed. 2. Status of Mickler Boulevard swale project Member Farr presented two quotes and one refusal t0 quote (Exhibit A) for the swale project. She stated that the Southern Horticulture quote included white top sedge, which was an extra $954, so if that was removed their quote was competitive with Native & Uncommon Plants. Member Palmquist stated that Southern Horticulture was located closer and it would be easier to deal with them if there was an issue. The Committee discussed the options and the purpose of this project. Motion: to approve the Southern Horticulture quote for this fiscal year. Moved by: Member Thomson. Seconded by: Chair Krempasky. Motion passed unanimously. - 16 - The Committee asked that Public Works look at the 2nd Avenue bicycle path from 10th to 11th Streets as a potential location for a swale. They stated that it is well traveled and could be a good spot for a visible swale demonstration. Vice Chair Farr said she would like to have Chair Krempasky look into the cost of a sign to educate the public about the purpose of the swale. Vice Chair Farr asked that the City notify the adjacent property owner. B. Ms. Lombari: I. Status of landscaping project for city entrances Member Lombari hasn't heard from Southern Horticulture about scheduling since the last meeting. She said that Joe Howell was going to work on the permit. Foreman Large said that they are looking at the distance off the road for the Pope Road project. The Committee discussed the budget for this project and possibilities if there are any remaining funds assigned to this project. C. Vice Chair Farr: I. Status of landscaping at 8th Street parking area The A Street parking plan was approved in February and the 8th Street plan was approved in March. Member Lombar:i stated that Southern Horticulture would like to work on all the entrances and parking lot projects at once, so this project was waiting on the rermit for the Pope Road entrance. She stated that the City was tentatively on their calendar for June. D. Chair Krempasky: 1. Status of parkette signage project. The Committee discussed the four signs that were placed on D Street and AIA Beach Boulevard. Member Lombari stated that they looked good and were visible, but could use underplanting. Secretary Fitzgerald reported that two complaints were received: one person stated that the adjacent properties were not notified, that the signs blocked the view, and that they should say "plaza" not "parkette" and a second person said that it detracted from the beauty of the City to have a sign on each of the four comers. Member Palmquist suggested benches so that people could actually stop and enjoy the area. Member Thomson suggested looking at ad.ding coquina blocks and extending groundcover in some of the parkettes. - 17 - The Committee decided to continue west on D Street to place additional signs. Member Watkins volunteered to meet with Foreman Large to help place those signs. Foreman Large asked if the Committee wanted a uniform height for all the signs to allows for underplanting. They advised 12-14 inches from the ground. E. Mr. Thomson: 1. Status of planting palm trees, continuation of A venue of Palms project, and planting of oak trees. Member Thomson suggested purchasing 20-30 palms to-have in stock. There was discussion about the budget for this and the use of the Tree Fund. Member Watkins said she would speak with CFO Melissa Burns to try and clarify the uses of the Tree Fund and Chair Krempasky would speak with Public Works Director Joe Howell. Vice Chair Farr will get prices on 3-gallon oaks and palms to consider purchasing if there is left over money from the entranceway and parking lot projects. 2. Update on status of proposed changes to the Land Development Regulations Member Thomson stated that he believes paving in the right-of-way should be limited to 25% of lot frontage for residents. Chair Krempasky volunteered to look at St. Augustine's regulations and mock up a suggestion to send to the Commission and Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board. The Committee discussed the tree ordinance and the possibility of changing their name from Beautification Advisory Committee to something that better describes their intentions to help the environment. F. Committee as a whole: 1. Continuation of discussion for aesthetically pleasing and sturdiir trash cans Member Watkins stated that the large plastic cans being used are easier for / Public Works to empty and lift, so liners would be needed for any other cans purchased. She suggested the possibility ofpainting the plastic cans to make them look better, but still be practical for collection. Foreman Large stated that they currently use 55-gallon containers and empty them three times a week in the summer and twice a week in the winter. He stated that smaller containers would not be practical. He stated that they have had to place lids on some cans due to raccoons and rats climbing inside. He said that the City gets their cans from St. Johns County. - 18 - Member Palmquist suggested having residents or artists paint the cans, following specific guidelines, like the fire hydrants in 1976 or St. Augustine's obelisk project in 2015. 2. Discussion of guidelines and standards for Environmental Stewardship Award for businesses, individuals, or groups This topic was not discussed. 3. Discussion of possible projects for Fiscal Year 2019 budget Chair Krempasky will work on numbers for a proposal for the next meeting. Any additional projects should be proposed with estimated costs for the Committee to consider adding to the budget proposal. VII. OTHER TREE BOARD/BEAUTIFICATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE MATTERS VIII.

Miscellaneous Drainage Improvements Project The results of the bids were presented at the June Commission meeting. Additional information, including a budget resolution, is presented elsewhere in the agenda package. 5th St. Parking Improvements The construction work of the project is complete. We need to stabilize the area between the Island South wall and the edge of the parking with sod. Woodlands Drainage Improvements The work of the project is complete. We replaced approximately 65 linear feet of drainage pipe that had previously been used to discard a cementitious material prior to the cured in place lining process. Pavement Resurfacing We are evaluating deferring the resurfacing of the Atlantic Alley area to transfer funding in support of the Miscellaneous Drainage Improvement project. Personnel Following the recent loss of three Maintenance Workers the Public Works Department has successfully hired three new employees. I attribute much of the success to the Administrative staff and changes in our advertising practices. We are no longer relying as heavily on print media and are placing greater emphasis on the City's website and Facebook page to reach out to prospective employees. During my time with the City we have not been as successful reaching the target audience, and receiving as high a number of potential job candidates as on this recent advertisement. Training I attended a statewide training conference on stormwater issues. Recycled Waste We have conducted a full month audit of recycled waste collection, focused primarily on residential. As of the writing of this report we are going through the collected data. Initial indications are that only approximately 2/3 of the City's residents are actually recycling which is substantially less than we thought. There may be some seasonal variance due to the time of - 21 - Public Works Department Monthly Report year the audit was conducted (5 consecutive weeks in May), but we will be presenting the findings to our contractor, Advanced Disposal. The recycled waste industry is currently in a state of turmoil which I believe has led to ancillary impacts on City residents participating in the program, generally as regards the use of non-City provided containers. I propose consideration be given to exercising Bid Option 1 or Bid Option 2 of the contract (use of the larger wheeled carts once per week, or every other week, respectively) as we move into preparation of the FY 19 Budget. / - 22 - - MEMORANDUM TO: MAX ROYLE, CITY MANAGER FROM: MELISSA BURNS, CFO SUBJECT: FINANCE & TECHNOLOGY MONTHLY REPORT DATE: 6/19/2018 Finance Feedback was received from the Florida Communities Trust regarding our Management Plan for Ocean Hammock Park. The revisions are due on the 20th of this month. Preparation of the FY19 Budget has begun and will be a continuing process until it's adoption in September. I am writing this report while attending the Florida Government Finance Officers Association Annual Conference, and have received tips to streamline both the budget process and presentation as well as the monthly financial reports. Details will be submitted with my conference report upon my return. Technology As always, the IT staff remains busy on several projects, among them the new paid parking endeavor. We are also looking at increasing the data capacity for both City Hall and the Police Department as we are at current capacity for data use. Additionally, with the upgrade, we will be able to connect the Public Works site to the City Hall network which has been a long term goal. - 23 - June 11, 2018 CITY OF ST.

However, the County Commission at its January 16th meeting decided to withdraw the offer to transfer ownership of the park to the City. At its February 12th meeting, the City Commission decided to hold a workshop th meeting on Tuesday, March 6 , to discuss a vision plan for the park. At the workshop, the Commission asked that the public be invited to provide suggestions for a beautification plan, a revenue plan ahd a maintenance plan for the pier park, and that each Commissioner sent his or her ideas for such plans to the City Manager. Mayor George asked that the pier park be on the agenda for the Commission's April meeting. At that meeting, the Commission discussed charging for parking at the park and establishing a special fund for the revenue, which would be used for park maintenance and improvements; and having the City manage the property under contract with the County. However, in May, the County Administrator informed the City Manager that the County intends to keep ownership of the park. At the City Commission's February 12th meeting, Mr. Henry Dean, County Commission Chairman, asked the City Commission to support his request to his board to authorize advertising for Requests for Proposals from organizations interested in holding a Wednesday farmers market at the pier park. The City Commission authorized Mayor George to send a letter of support, which was emailed to the five County Commissioners in advance of their February 20th meeting. At the meeting, the County Commission approved Chairman Dean's request to advertise for Requests for Proposals. The City Manager asked the County Administrator for a copy of the RFP, which was th received in mid-April. The deadline for proposals was May 17 • A review committee recommended that the proposal from Salt Air Farmers Market be accepted. The County Commission will review this recommendation at its July 17th meeting, as the Commission will not meet on the first Tuesday in July, which is the day before the July 4th holiday. 4. UPDATING STRATEGIC PLAN . The plan was adopted in the spring of 2015. At its January 6, 2018, meeting, the City Commission discussed whether to have the updating done by City staff or by a facilitator, Ms. Marilyn Crotty. In response to the City Manager's inquiry, Ms. Crotty said that for a six-hour workshop in March or April, she would charge $1,800, plus hotel and meal expenses, if she had to stay the overnight in the City. At its February 12th meeting, the Co,nmission decided to delay updating the strategic plan until after the changes to the Land Development Regulations have been adopted. 5. PARKING PLAN. An outcome of the City Commission's joint meeting on March 19th with the Comprehensive and Zoning Board is the exploration of a pay-by-phone parking system. Mayor George informed the Commission of Gainesville's use of the technology. The Commission discussed Gainesville's system at its April 2nd meeting, and directed the City staff to prepare and advertise a Request for Proposals for a pay-by-phone system. Six proposals were received by the April 20th deadline. The City staff has reviewed them and has met with St. Augustine's parking enforcement staff, as that city is interested in having a similar system and has been exploring the matter longer than our City has. Our City Commission has said it favors both cities having the same system. As a result, our City's staff will recommend to the Commission at its June 4th meeting that our City following St. Augustine's lead in determining which vendor to select. At this time, St. Augustine is favoring a company called Passport, which was one of the six that responded to our City's Request for Proposals, and is one of the two companies our City staff recommended be considered. In the meantime, at its May 7th meeting, the City Commission decided to raise the fine for illegal parking from $20 to $75, to set the fine for illegal parking in a handicapped space at $250, and to adopt regulations for a residential parking permit plan. The City Attorney prepared two ordinances, which were discussed and approved, with changes, at the Commission's June 12th continuation meeting. The ordinances will be scheduled for first reading at the Commission's July 2nd meeting. Also at the June 12th meeting, the City's Information Technological Specialist, Mr. Anthony Johns, presented a report about the pay-by-phone parking system St. Augustine is exploring. The Commission agreed to follow St. Augustine's lead in implementing the system, because that city has been researching t he topic for over a year. In the meantime, our City staff will work on a proposal for hiring parking enforcement personnel. 6. JOINT MEETING WITH THE COUNTY COMMISSION. At its January 6th meeting, the City Commission suggested a joint meeting with the County Commission in May or June 2018. The City Manager forwarded the suggestion to the County Administrator. Though no proposed dates have been received from the assistant, the County Administrator asked the City Manager in early May for a list of the issues the City Commission wants to discuss with the County Commission. Using t he list of issues that the two Commissions discussed at their joint meeting in May 2017, Mayor George and the City Manager prepared the following list, which was sent to the County Administrator: a) beach restoration, including sea oats planting and sand fencing; b) off-beach parking, including paid parking; c) repair of County roads in the City, the schedule for doing the repairs and the funding for them; d) repairs and renovations to the pier park, including the development of maintenance, renovation and economic plans; e) the County's plans for the former Mosquito Control District's property. In a letter received by the City on June 12th, the County Administrator, Mr. Michael Wanchick, wrote that the issues were ones that could be handled at the staff level, meaning a joint meeting of the two Commissions wasn't needed. He has scheduled a meeting th with the City Manager and Public Works Director on June 28 • Mayor George asked that the letter be on the agenda for the Commission's July 2nd meeting. th 7. CITY'S BUDGET.

STATE-MANDATED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT. At its January 6th meeting, the City Manager explained the report that is mandated for cities and counties every seven years, and whether it can be done by a consultant or a staff planner. The Commission agreed to have a request for proposals prepared for planning services with a provision in it requiring full disclosure of any actual or potential conflicts of interest or any appearance thereof. The City advertised for proposals. One was received, but the amount of money requested was so far above what the City could afford that the City Manager sought proposals from other sources. Two firms replied. At its May 7th meeting, the Commission approved the hiring of Fleet and Associates to do the report. The consultant will hold a public meeting on the Comprehensive Plan on Tuesday, June 26, 2018, at 6 p.m. in the Commission meeting room at city hall. The results of that meeting will be included in this Report for the Commission's August 4th meeting.

Mayor George asked the St. Augustine Port, Waterway and Beach Commission at its December 19, 2017, meeting for $100,000 for a sea oats planting project. Though the Port Commission agreed to the possibility of the project, it decided at its February 20th meeting that $100,000 is about 25% of its Fiscal Year 2018 budget and that the City should make a proposal for the Port Commission's June meeting, when it will discuss projects for Fiscal Year 2019. At its May 8th continuation meeting, the City Commission approved a proposal prepared by a coastal engineering consultant to do the sea oats project. The consultant has prepared a contract for its services, which the Commission reviewed and approved at its June 12th meeting. Mayor George asked the Port Commission at its June 19th meeting to approve money in its Fiscal Year 2019 budget to pay the project's cost, which the City's coastal engineer estimated would be between $80,000-100,000. The Port Commission agreed to provide $25,000. 12. NEW YEAR'S EVE EVENT REPORT. It was discussed by the City Commission at its March 6th continuation meeting with the City's Events Coordinator, Ms. Hala Laquidara. The Commission also reviewed revenue and expenditure reports from t he City's Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Melissa Burns. The Commission decided that the City should continue holding the event, though with the City not involved with the handling of money and to have the vendors charge attendees directly. Mayor George asked Ms. Laquidara to return with specific costs, so that that Commission could review them. Her report was presented to the Commission at its May 7th meeting. At that meeting, the Commission reviewed and approved a Request for Proposals for a private company, or charitable or civic organization to manage the sale of beer, wine and novelties, and staff the kids' th zone.

POLICY FOR HANDLING ANONYMOUS COMPLAINTS. At the City Commission's February 12th meeting, Mayor George asked what policy the City has concerning anonymous complaints. The City Clerk checked and found that the City doesn't have any. The Clerk did find policies from other cities. The City Manager asked the Florida League of Cities for any best practices. Ms. Lynn Tipton responded: "From a policy perspective, what I see most cities do is focus on what issue was raised by the complaint when it is related to a municipal service (streetlight out, pothole, nuisa nce, code enforcement) and see if there is merit in the issue itself. And the directive given to departments is to focus on the service level in question regardless of the complaint." At its continuation th meeting on May 8 , the Commission discussed having a policy for handling anonymous complaints, but gave no direction to the City staff for the development of a specific policy. Commissioner Kostka later asked the City staff to check Municode, which codifies ordinances for a number of Florida cities and counties. The staff found that out of 371 cities and counties, only 16 had an ordinance concerning anonymous complaints. The results of the survey will be provided to the Commission at its July 2nd meeting. 14. TREE REGULATIONS. The Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board discussed changes to the regulations that a Board member, Mr. Zach Thomas, proposed.

At its May 8th continuation meeting, the City Commission discussed the proposed changes.

The City Attorney will prepare an ordinance for the Commission's July 2nd meeting. 15. RECREATION PROGRAMS. The Deputy City Clerk has prepared a summary of the recreation programs that are available to the youth of St. Augustine Beach. She is working with the IT staff and the Events Coordinator to have links to the summary on the City's WE>bsite and Facebook page. The City Manager has asked one of the Assistant County Administrators whether the City could subsidize some of the County's programs or provide monetary aid to help low income youth in the City participate in some of the programs. No response has been received. 16. PEDESTRIAN CROSSING FLAGS, STATE ROAD AlA AND A STREET: A resident requested the flags. As SR-AlA is a state highway, the Florida Department ofTransportation must approve the request. The Public Works Director has forwarded it to the DOT. If the request is approved, t he City will be responsible for purchasing the flags and the signs.
