MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. McPartlan to adopt Ordinance 0-15-02. Roll Call: Ayes: Adams, Coy, Hill, McPartlan, Gillmor Nays: None Passed: 5-0 15.031 B. Second Reading and Public Hearing for Ordinance No. 0-15-03 - Temporary Use 196-201 Permits (Transmittal, 0-15-03) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA, AMENDING LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 54-2-3.2(a)(7) REGARDING PERMITTED LOCATIONS FOR TEMPORARY USES AND SPECIAL EVENTS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 1s` Reading 2/11/15, Legal Ad 1/24/15 The City Attorney read Ordinance No. 0-15-03 for the second time by title, and the City Manager recommended approval. Mayor Gillmor opened the public hearing at 7:08 pm Father Dave Newhart thanked Council for its efforts in reintroducing this issue and working with him and City staff in great cooperation, but still had a question as to why churches in residential areas can't hold flea markets or market days as those in commercial areas can, noting there have never been any complaints, neighbors attend, egress has been easy to flow through, and there have never been any police complaints or code enforcement compliance issues. He said he was simply trying to understand the thinking and wisdom in coming to this, because if there was a problem the City Manager would have intervened. Mr. Hill said the whole reason this came up was to allow these events to continue because they got complaints that some events weren't up to code, the idea of the Council was not to shut them all down, and they never had that intention. Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2015 Page Four Father Dave said the when Council addressed this issue at a previous meeting in January, two Council members said pointedly that we have to keep these type of uses out of residential areas. Mr. Hill said he was seemingly admonishing this Council, but the wisdom behind it was, at least from his standpoint, to legally allow these things to happen. He said there was discussion about the residential areas, and in his mind, he could see that a large flea market would not have been appropriate. He said in looking at this issue we realized there was a hole in it, which happens when Council tries to legislate everything down to specific details; and rather than have the City Manager have leeway tried to fix it, and were compelled to create a law to solve a problem, and sometimes other problems come up. Father Dave said originally the ordinance would have prohibited these uses in PS and commercial areas and then an amendment was brought in to allow it in commercial areas but prohibit PS in residential areas, when in fact, it was the large commercial areas that were causing most the problems, rather than in residential areas, which were not having any problems. He said again he was just asking what the wisdom was in reaching this decision. Mayor Gillmor said nothing is ever perfect, you make some people upset and some happy, we limited churches from commercial activities such as the flea market on US 1 where people come from all over come in with tents and tables, but to have these in residential areas, Council thought it was not appropriate. He said he would not have a problem with garage sales by Church members in residential areas such as homes in residential areas are allowed to have four times per year. Father Dave said the Mayor supplied the answer he was asking for, and again said it was commendable that we all met down and were able to work out something that was agreeable. He thanked Council for the opportunity to meet with the City Manager, City Attorney and Mayor to work this out, and for bringing the ordinance back, and said now he can go back and explain to others. Mayor Gillmor closed the hearing. MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Council Member Adams to adopt Ordinance No. 0- 15-03.

Roll Call: Ayes: McPartlan, Gillmor, Adams, Coy, Hill Nays: None Passed: 5-0 15.059 C. Cavcoro Parking Lot Construction/Paving (Transmittal, Power Point Slides) 263-272 The City Engineer gave a Power Point presentation on a proposal to pave the Cavcorp parking lot depicting a conceptual plan utilizing asphalt at a cost of approximately $200K or less (see PP attached to minutes). Following the presentation, discussion followed on maintenance costs, which the City Engineer said would involve annual painting of the asphalt and would allow for reconfiguration of spaces by restriping if necessary. He noted that the irrigation system is already in place, recommended installation of conduit for future lighting at the time of paving, that this is not going to be raised ground but at grade, and will keep the cost as simple as possible much the same as we did for the Presidential Streets. He said the project could be completed by August. He went on to explain that the conceptual was prepared by our CAD person Michelle and included 9 x 18 car spaces and 10 x 50 boat spaces. In response to Mr. Adams, the City Manager said funding is not budgeted this year, so we may have to move funding around if Council wants to proceed, and that he has to temper the workload with staff. He said he agrees with the City Engineer in doing the project, but an option is to wait until the next budget year, and agreed with the installation of lighting conduit. He said Frank and Michelle did a great job. He said there is no disabled parking depicted here and we might have to work that into the mix. Mr. Hill said this is obviously a preliminary design and now the engineering process starts and that is when we will look at handicapped parking, turn radiuses and all that. The City Engineer said this is a conceptual 30% design, and on the ADA we took care of that with Coolidge Street, that on public streets you are not required. He said on Coolidge we added three to take care of this, but if you want to add more to the parking lot you can. He said for every 22 spaces you have to have three handicapped spaces, that the boat spaces do not require handicapped spaces. Mr. Hill said the stormwater element is important, and the City Engineer had answered his concern that the volleyball courts not be eliminated. He said he liked the simplicity and functionality of the design, where boat spaces can be utilized for cars. Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2015 Page Six Mr. McPartlan said the plan looks good. Mayor Gillmor said he thought it looked great, eliminates some of the problems we had before when we were ready to spend $750K on this lot, if anything this would maximize parking for events and we can reconfigure the parking any way we want it. Ms. Coy said she wanted to think about it a lot more, but what might win her over is that it is changeable and can be restriped, and asked that when this comes back for action and monetary approval, we invite project managers for the large park events to include them in the discussion. She said she kind of liked it. The City Manager said when gave Frank the assignment it was done in one week and thought Frank and his staff in engineering did a great job in getting this together, noting a big part of this analysis will be its reception we get at SJRWMD, and asked for direction. Mayor Gillmor said we are all looking for this to come back to Council, the timing is important, but whether we do it before or after October, that is a budget concern that the City Manager understands better than Council does, noting there is not a lot of money needed for the improvement we will get, that we spent $76K to design the project last time that is on the shelf and did not give this flexibility, though the previous engineers did a great job talking to each member of Council. He said he would like to see it come back so Council can vote on it and timing wise, leave it up to the City Manager. 13. CITY ATTORNEY MATTERS The City Attorney reported that the court had dismissed the appeal to City Council's decision on Captain Hiram's final site plan made last December. 14. CITY MANAGER MATTERS The City Manager recommended that Council consider that all City board and committee meetings start no later than 6 pm, and in the case of Council, if we have a CRA or Board of Adjustment meeting they could start at 6 pm and then follow with Council. He described last week's situation when several members of staff had to stay for three night meetings after full work days. He noted the newer committees will actually start earlier than that, as well as the Veterans Board which meets at 3 pm. Mr. Adams said he would have an issue with that because 6 pm is cutting it close for him, and was not too sure how he felt about that because he wants to be here for meetings and doesn't want to be late, so he would not be in favor of starting at 6 pm Mr. Hill said it made no difference to him and if we back the start time we should move back the end time to 9:30 and no extension later than 10 pm. Ms. Coy said it made no difference to her, was sorry for Mr. Adams noting she had to take a night off when she had teaching obligations, asked about Vero Beach meeting times, and when it was stated most are during the day, she said we are excluding some senior members from committees by having all of our meetings at night. She said she would agree to make simpler on staff and suggested we look at other committees to see if some can be in the afternoon. She supported the 6 pm start. Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2015 Page Seven Mr. McPartlan said the 6 pm start time for all meetings is fine with him. The City Manager said he wanted to be sensitive to Mr. Adams and would keep in close contact with him to make sure nothing is amiss. Mr. Adams said if we start at 6 pm and he ran into any problem getting there he would contact the City Manager or City Clerk. The City Manager also reported that he had been contacted by the property owner of 190 Sebastian Boulevard adjacent to our compound area, who offered the property to the City, stating he would bring the item to the next meeting; said he had discussed with the City Clerk having a social media policy and would bring the item to the next meeting; and that he met with the four City Managers today to discuss an interlocal agreement to create a group membership on the Indian River Lagoon Council, they would take the agreement to their respective attorneys and he may come back to Council at the next meeting with a proposal. 15. CITY CLERK MATTERS - None 16. CITY COUNCIL MATTERS A. Council Member Coy Ms. Coy said there may be some new opportunities opening up for the North County Hunger Relief Coalition and if anyone wanted to participate they can contact her. B. Council Member Hill Mr. Hill said he viewed last week's meetings on Channel 25, which got him thinking about some of our committees and their roles, noting their role is to serve at the behest of Council, He said he was concerned with an email from the Chairman of the Budget Committee to Ken Killgore with several requests from him and attendance and a report from Frank Watanabe at the next meeting. He read the code language from the Code for the Board and the list of requests in the email which pertained to the current budget. He said the Board was created to assist Council in the preparation of the budget for the next fiscal year and none of this pertains to that, in his opinion, and this causes additional work for our staff. He said he is really concerned about our committees and would like to tackle them one at a time, maybe have a workshop and figure out what exactly we want the committees to do instead of writing their own charters. He said at the last Budget Board meeting next year's budget was not discussed, understands the members wanting to do as much as they can, but they are not to be a budget watchdog and have the City Manager report on the status of the current fiscal year. He said we should take the committees one by one and discuss what we want them to do and direct the City Attorney to have discussion which each of the bodies. Mayor Gillmor said each chairman of each board and committee should understand the rudiments of running meetings. Mr. Hill said we should ask the Budget committee to do what they are asked to do, instead of exhaust hours of staff time, and other things that don't pertain to them. Mayor Gillmor said he relies on the person he appointed to be his eyes and take a look at things, and advise him, because he is not the greatest when it comes to the budget. W Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2015 Page Eight Mr. Hill agreed but said once the budget is established, we say to the City Manager and City Clerk, here's your budget, go forward, noting we did a quarterly budget amendment tonight and do them four times a year. Ms. Coy said the immediate solution is that no board should be submitting directives to staff and it's got to go to the City Manager in the form of a request, said she would be in favor of a workshop so we can look the folks in the eye, noting there are other incidents of not really kosher stuff going on, and tell boards what we expect them to do. Mr. Hill suggested Council have a workshop as soon as possible. Mr. Hill discussed the Planning and Zoning meeting which pertained to the luxury resort at Chessers Gap, which, in his opinion, was run very unprofessionally with hooting and hollering and intimidation, and where upstanding members of our City were treated poorly and profanity used on the mike directed at a member of our community. He said he was embarrassed and said at a minimum, the Chairman of that committee owes the City and the applicants an apology; and should consider whether he belongs in that chair, and was concerned whether the Board will be able to get through the next round of this project with that chairman in charge. Ms. Coy agreed with everything he said and said she and the City Manager had discussions on this. The City Attorney advised that he met with the City Manager and others with regard to this issue and at the conclusion was tasked with the job of calling the Planning and Zoning Chairman, which he did, and then had a meeting with him. He explained this was a quasi- judicial hearing and these decisions are judicial decisions made by non judicial officers, they are asked to act as a judge, be completely neutral and asked to make decisions only on the evidence presented and nothing else. He explained as representatives you are often asked to speak to community groups, and are open to it, but when it is about quasi-judicial matters, the kinds of matters PZ mostly deals with, you can't do that because that is ex-parte communications. He said in this case, each member was required to act as a judge and what took place at the hearing pushed the limit, and that was expressed by him to the Chairman. He said because of the things you mentioned, and the defensibility of any decision that is made, that it has to comport with constitutional due process. He continued that when that item comes back to PZ for site plan approval, the chairman will recuse himself. He said he believes that PZ will be able to conduct a proper meeting and based that on the Captain Hiram's situation, the decision by Council to approve six variances, which were incorporated into a site plan, went to PZ and approved, the site plan was appealed to City Council, Council rejected the appeal and approved the decision of PZ. He said he was not sure that PZ may have approved all of the variances that Council approved, and even though they felt that way about the variances, they did not question it and accepted it as it was presented, and that indicates they have the ability to deal with what is before them on the merits, so he has confidence in their ability to do that . Mr. Ginsburg said we still have the site plan to look at, and there are two safeguards, PZ will be able to act on the site plan, there is an appeal process in place and City staff can appeal the decision, and Council would have opportunity to consider the site plan anew on the merits without regard for anything other than what is presented on the record, and Council will have the final word. Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2015 Page Nine Mr. Hill suggested that recuse means the Chairman removes himself from the proceedings. Mayor Gillmor asked Mr. Hill is he would you wish the Council to request a letter, noting he believed the Chairman has apologized on TV at a subsequent meeting, and would join him in requesting a written apology. Mr. Hill and Ms. Coy verbally agreed. There was no objection. Mr. McPartlan said he had discussed with the City Manager and City Attorney that he would like to see a universal agenda and have input procedures added on the back of committee agendas, and bring the Chairs and members in here to meet with them. Ms. Coy added, in a friendly environment and not to admonish them. Mr. McPartlan said we are appreciative of the time they put in and we need to respect that and we should provide support and training for them. C. Council Member McPartlan Mr. McPartlan said he was at a Department of Juvenile Justice meeting, said they have a Florida Youth Commission and they are looking for an individual to represent the circuit, and maybe one of our Youth Council can be their representative. He said he was talking to the Visiting Nurse Association and the high school about a job program at the thrift store in Sebastian and there may be students who might be eligible for our Youth Council, that the School Board might want to be involved with our committee as well. He said he had a meeting with Dr. Nall who works at IRSC, and a meeting for dual enrollment at the high school, and Dr. Nall is excited about more and more classes to be taught at IRSC next door, so there are a lot of exciting things for more opportunities. E. Vice Mayor Adams Vice Mayor Adams cited an article two Sundays ago in the Press Journal regarding the 46K acres of land available south of Lake Okeechobee for moving water south and asked if Council would consider sending a letter of support to the Governor to use amendment one funds to purchase this land. Mayor Gillmor said he would be in favor to support those in that area and ultimately to protect the lagoon. Mr. Hill suggested bringing back what funds they are talking about, and Mr. Adams responded the funds were approved through amendment one. Mr. Hill asked if those funds would be diverted from other lagoon projects in our area. Ms. Coy said she would support a letter just stating we support use of amendment one taxes. Mr. Adams said he can provide additional information. Mr. Adams then reported he would be attending one day of the Legislative Days in Tallahassee on March 17'". D. Mayor Gillmor Matters Mayor Gillmor reported on his attendance at the IRC Lagoon Council meeting where they elected the new Chairman, Martin County Commissioner Ed Fielding. He said he requested a seat, but they have so much on their plate to get started, and though he did not get a 'no' he thought they will be receptive if the cities form a cooperative. He said he has talked to the Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2015 Page Ten other Mayors, they agree and said he will stay on top of it. He said the Lagoon Council meets every two weeks and he will continue to attend and fight for a seat. He said Indian River County should have a representative on that board, and between all the cities, we can have a pretty good shot. Ms. Coy said with the arguments from an IRC commissioner, there appears to be an agenda that was not being vocalized and asked the Mayor if he was getting a feel that there is something afoot or that the money has already been spent or something to that effect. Mayor Gillmor said not at all and did not see their logic, that the Council had added a five year sunset by majority vote or sunset anytime by supermajority, and as far as claims of corruption he has not seen it. He said the other members of the Lagoon Council are public servants and he has a real problem with seeing four other commissions vote unanimously to join and then see our Commission vote unanimously against it. Mr. Hill said Indian River County reconfirmed they are not in, and it is important for folks in this county to have a voice and be part of the decision making. Mayor Gillmor said interim director Maurice Sterling called him and asked if he could take a look at the space in the old school building so he gave Mr. Sterling's information to the City Manager. He said other areas had offered them space, but if they could end up not having to pay costs they might want to use it, stating they don't need a huge staff. 17.
