Conduct Quasi -Judicial Public Hearing and Approve Resolution No. R-15-14 - Preliminary Plat for Sandcrest PUD -R (Transmittal, R-15-14, Staff Report, Application, Plan/Plat Before by PZ and Preliminary Development Plan/Plat w/ PZ Conditions and Technical Updates are Under Separate Cover) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN/PLAT FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT KNOWN AS SANDCREST SUBDIVISION; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS HEREWITH; AND PROVIDING FOR EFFECTIVE DATE. The City Attorney read Resolution No. R-15-14 by title. There was no City Council ex -parte communication to disclose and the City Attorney swore in all those in attendance who intended to give testimony. Chuck Mechling, Sandcrest Development, briefly addressed City Council on the request for preliminary plat with slight modifications, commended staff on their thorough review, and requested approval. The City Manager recommended approval. Mayor Gillmor called for anyone in favor to give input, and there was none. He then called for anyone opposed to give input, and there was none. The City Manager said this had been well vetted with Planning and Zoning and City Council Ms. Coy said she received two plats in her packet and asked if she was approving the plat approved by Planning and Zoning. The City Attorney said no, and the reason the plat presented before Planning and Zoning was in the packet was because he had requested staff to provide both the plat that went before Planning and Zoning and an updated version of the plat. Ms. Coy asked what changes and updates were made on the updated version not available to Planning and Zoning. The Community Development Director/City Engineer responded that there were conditions worked into the plat much the same as you would see in construction drawings, the new right turn lane being proposed off Powerline Road, corrections and notes regarding one of the stormwater elevations, some additional comments he had regarding changes to some of the technical sections E and F, cross section modifications, additions to some other sections that staff had highlighted for P & Z, question regarding the typical lot on page 2 which was Regular City Council Meeting June 24, 2015 Page Five revised per Planning comments. He said the changes were very minor but did change the plat. Ms. Coy said she had tried to find the differences between the two plats and could not, then asked if the conditions imposed by Planning and Zoning had been included in the updated plat, and Mr. Watanabe said they were. Mr. Hill said Sebastian was lucky to have a project like this coming forward, because it is not cookie cutter, and he had great trust in the developer. MOTION by Mr. Hill and SECOND by Ms. Coy to approve of Resolution No. R-15-14. Mayor Gillmor asked if one of the changes brought up by Planning and Zoning was the varied paint schemes, and Mr. Watanabe said that was correct. Ms. Coy said previously Council had imposed a non -monotony clause but it did not happen and how would we be sure it was done. Mr. Mechling answered that when they do architectural guidelines, certain constraints are put in place, will provide that no houses next to each other can have the same body or roof color and he would be glad to share those guidelines with them. Ms. Coy said she would trust him. Mr. Mechling said the builders have to provide the colors and it is a team effort to ensure non -monotony. The City Attorney asked that the motion include conditions listed on page 79 of the agenda packet (already included in the resolution). Mr. Hill and Ms. Coy added that to their motion. Mr. Adams asked what prevents a future owner from changing the house color, and Mr. Mechling said it is in the association documents, which are recorded with the courts. Roll Call: Ayes: Coy, Hill, McPartlan, Gillmor, Adams Nays: None Passed: 5-0 12. UNFINISHED BUSINESS - None 13. PUBLIC INPUT John Tenerowicz, 310 South Wimbrow Drive, Parks and Recreation Committee Chairman, gave an update on their June 22 meeting, 1) a unanimous vote to move forward with frisbee golf and are now looking at Filbert Street Park; 2) requested in the future if there is any way, to annex or buy property for another youth sports complex; 3) the skateboard reopened Saturday; and, 4) asked that bleacher shields for BSSC be put back in the budget, and they would be asking for bleacher shields for the skateboard park in a year or so. In response to Mayor Gillmor, Mr. Tenerowicz said the canopies would cover the bleachers like the splash pad. He said the BSSC bleacher shields have been in the budget for two years. He then went on to say they are working with Indian River County to cut back shrubs on the north side of CR 512 where they are overgrown and prohibit seeing around them. Ms. Coy said there is plenty of room to ride a bike there. Mr. Tenerowicz said people say that they hit the shrubs while riding on the sidewalk and member JoAnn White is hopefully meeting with the County. Mr. Tenerowicz said it was in the area of Roseland Road. Mr. Hill told Mr. Tenerowicz said he appreciated the work the committee is doing. Regular City Council Meeting June 24, 2015 Page Six Ms. Coy said it would be helpful to tell us what they want the property for. Mr. Tenerowicz said the City will need another sports complex ten years down the road, perhaps as much as 30 acres. Ms. Coy said statistics and more specifics would be helpful. 14. NEW BUSINESS 15.115 A. Presentation by Karen Diegl, President/CEO, Senior Resource Association/GoLine (Transmittal) Ms. Diegl explained that last year in October/November, MPO requested that Go-Line/Indian River Transit look at the structure of the transit system in the North County and a group was formed to include Council Member Coy, City Engineer Frank Watanabe, City Manager Joe Griffin, Fellsmere City Manager Jason Nunemaker, MPO Director Phil Matson, Brian Freeman, Mike Phelps, Transit Manager, Chris Stevenson and Ms. Diegl, at three workshops facilitated by Center for Urban Transportation Research between November 2014 and May 2015. She gave a Power Point presentation (see attached to minutes), including a brief background on the transit system routes including Go -Line and Community Coach as they increased from 2000 to what we have today, described the North County workshop process, and reported on input obtained from surveys sent out and speaking before focus groups. She said people commented they needed stops where buses were already stopping which meant we needed more awareness for the public. She said at the workshops they came up with different scenarios, and presented those. Ms. Diegl said there are four different routes in the north county, Routes 10, 5, 12 and 9, that it was determined that Vero Lakes Estates stops were lacking, so the suggestion for revisions would be that Route 10 would remove two stops in Fellsmere which showed low ridership and add stops to Vero Lakes Estates (see proposed map attached). She said for Sebastian they want to provide coverage, frequency, and connectivity, so they are going to change a little bit of routes 5 and in 11 (best viewed on the PP new stops in yellow), to create new connections ultimately to the main transit hub in Vero Beach. She said the other alternative would be an additional route which would require additional funding. Ms. Coy said this task took a lot of thought and discussion trying without adding financial cost to the City, to find the best way to cover our City. She said the City of Sebastian has two buses, the 5 and the 9, and 10 comes from Fellsmere and goes to Walmart and now will stop in VILE but is really servicing people outside the City. She said the hard part is trying to connect people to the bus systems conveniently so it doesn't take hours to travel, this plan does not cost Sebastian anything, and we are trying out some new stops along the way. She said if it works we might want to look at assisting and investing, but this gives us a way to see if people are out there, and now we have a route to Vero. She asked where the main hub is and Ms. Diegl said currently at the airport but in about one year will be on 17th Street west of US 1. Ms. Coy said she is suggesting we lend support to this though it has to go to MPO. Ms. Diegl added it has to go to MPO and then to the Board of County Commissioners because it is more than a 20% change. 0 Regular City Council Meeting June 24, 2015 Page Seven Ms. Coy said they will stop in Pelican Isles which has a big market, and at Sandcrest, as well as other new stops. Ms. Diegl said she hoped by putting coverage into Sebastian we will see it pop with better connectivity, noting she was amazed to see how much traffic there is coming north on US 1, and it would be great to get them on the bus. Ms. Coy asked for a general consensus from Council to approve to try the proposed routes. Mr. Hill said he is a strong supporter of the Go -Line and Ms. Diegl should be proud of what they have done over the years, he would support the changes and has always supported financial assistance to the Go -Line. Ms. Diegl said match dollars are important and if she had her druthers she would love to give them route 17, but that would mean match dollars as done in the past. Ms. Coy said she would go on record that she was not in favor of dollars at this time which would be in the area of $40K to $60K. Mayor Gillmor said we could match Vero, and then said he thought we had our answer. Mr. McPartlan said he is amazed at the kindness between Ms. Coy and Ms. Diegl, was a big fan of public transit, described the difference between transit and community coach, noted new technology including an app for the Go -Line, said they have not sat on their laurels at all and knows hard Karen works on this. He said our system is so much better than other areas around us in the Treasure Coast and that Okeechobee has no public transit and you have to call to get a ride. He said Karen runs a fantastic system and is open to ideas. Mayor Gillmor said the other value is to have Ms. Diegl come here for folks to hear it, that Community Coach is low cost and a great resource for seniors on community coach but the Go -Line is free which is amazing for a community this size. Ms. Coy read from a note passed to her that says we have a new traffic calming device on Barber Street called the Go -Line. Ms. Diegl thanked them for their support, said that it will first go before MPO and then to BCC, did not see any challenges, but if there were, they would overcome them and then within a few months make the changes happen. 15.026 B. Resolution No. R-15-15 — A. Quarterly Financial Report) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2014 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AS PROVIDED FOR IN EXHIBIT "A"; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. The City Attorney read Resolution No. R-15-15 by title. MOTION by Mr. Hill and SECOND by Mr. McPartlan to approve R-15-15. Roll Call: Ayes: Hill, McPartlan, Gillmor, Adams, Coy Nays: None Passed: 5-0 7 Regular City Council Meeting June 24, 2015 Page Eight 15.116 C. Revise 2016 City Council Meeting Schedule to Accommodate Early Voting (Transmittal, SOE Email with Early Voting Schedule. List of 2016 Council Meeting Dates with Conflicts noted and Alternate Dates Available, Calendars) The City Clerk explained that there are Council meeting dates in 2016 that will conflict with the Supervisor of Elections use of the City Council Chambers for early voting and was asking the Council to cancel those conflicting meeting dates or select other days in those months to conduct meetings from a list provided, so that she can let the SOE know the schedule moving forward. She noted that the City Charter requires one meeting per month and the Council resolution provides for two meetings per month on the 2nd and 0 Wednesdays of each month. She noted that the November meeting will be moved to November 16'h to obtain final certification of that election result and the next meeting falls on the night before Thanksgiving which they have typically changed. Mr. Hill recommended that it makes sense to keep the meetings that don't have conflicts, cancel the ones that do have conflicts, and Council always has the ability to call a meeting if necessary. Mayor Gillmor said we could change the meeting in March to the 2"d, in August move the meeting to the 31 s`, and in November move a meeting to the 30`h if we had to as alternatives. Ms. Coy said there is an election and some of us might not be here and others might want to do something else, so without having a crystal ball, would agree with Mr. Hill. She said leave it as it is so the public knows and the City Council know it is the 2"d and 4th and as we get to that time we let the manager make the decisions. The City Clerk said she will create the calendar and just show those conflicting meeting dates as canceled, and as to the other City boards affected, we will leave it to the Board Secretaries to work with them, but just wanted the SOE to know the room is available for early voting use. Ms. Coy asked if, at the first of the year, the Clerk would print it out for whoever is sitting up here and say attention, this is what you decided to do. 15.117 D. Approve Florida League of Cities Items (Transmittal. FLC Info) 1) Council Delegate to FLC Annual Conference Business Meeting Mr. Hill nominated Vice Mayor Adams as the voting delegate. Vice Mayor Adams accepted the appointment. 2) Resolutions to be Submitted to FLC - None 3) Travel Reimbursement for Members Serving on Legislative Committees The City Clerk said this will cover reimbursement for anyone appointed to a FLC Legislative policy committee who travels beyond 75 miles. MOTION by Mr. Hill and SECOND by Ms. Coy to approve travel to FLC legislative meetings. Roll Call: Ayes: McPartlan, Gillmor, Adams, Coy, Hill Nays: None Passed: 5-0 Regular City Council Meeting June 24, 2015 Page Nine 15. CITY ATTORNEY MATTERS The City Attorney said he would love to have a photograph of the Council and three Charter officers with the new City seal. 16. CITY MANAGER MATTERS - None 17. CITY CLERK MATTERS - None 18. CITY COUNCIL MATTERS 15.118 A. Charter Officer Evaluations in Accordance with Resolution R-12-08 (Transmittal) Ms. Coy said she had submitted her evaluations to the Charter Officers Mr. Hill said he submitted his evaluations to the Charter Officers, was very happy with their service to this community, and recommended whatever increase their contracts provide for. Ms. Coy said she did not recommend any increase other than what is provided in their contracts. Mayor Gillmor said his are still in his brief case and they will be getting them soon. Mr. McPartlan said he did the evaluations and sat down with all of them, said the Police Chief is also like a Charter officer and they are the anchors in our community, all are outstanding and their ratings are all 5s and are our four aces, and have gotten better every year. He said the only concern he'd had was in the area of succession plans so he talked to Joe and Sally and plans are in place, citing his bringing a group from the Sheriff's Advanced Citizens Academy around to tour City Hall and the PD, and not only did the City Manager and the Clerk present, he got to see Jeanette step forward and present, as well as Barbara, we present like nobody's business, and are so fortunate to have that. Mr. Adams said unfortunately he did not complete his evaluations because he had issues with the paperwork and will provide them at a later date. He said we have the best that there is out there and had nothing but good things to say about all of them, was thankful he had a chance to work with them, and was glad there is a succession plan. He said they do a wonderful job and make us look good. Mayor Gillmor echoed their comments, kudos to all, the paperwork is done and he will turn them in. Ms. Coy said not long ago at a public meeting she was upset with a group that got all aces, and clarified she had no problem acing anybody, especially our aceables that we have and she did it and justified it in every category with lots of narrative. Mr. McPartlan said he was not surprised because they are aces here, and like the military he had justification in his based on results and they far exceeded our expectations. 0 Regular City Council Meeting June 24, 2015 Page Ten B. Council Member McPartlan Mr. McPartlan announced that on Friday, July 3151, Fellsmere will host a "Getting Ahead Fair" open to all citizens with involvement by the Treasure Coast Food Bank, helicopter rides, blood pressure screenings, sugar checkups and representatives from the Career Source Center, and the FIT football team; and announced a Treasure Coast Hospice sponsored Good Grief Summer Camp in Fort Pierce for grieving children aged 5 to 18 to share their feelings about grief from July 20th to July 20, and people can go to www.tchospice.org for further information. C. Mayor Gillmor -None D.

Council Member Hill Mr. Hill said he would be participating in the Fourth of July weekend activities in the park and on the water and hoped everyone stays safe and has fun. 19. Being no further business, Mayor Gillmor adjourned the Regular Meeting at 7:27 p.m. Z� , Regular Meeting. Ely: v Richard . Gillmora\yo�r Sally A. Maio MC - City Clerk Unveiling of New City Seal in Sebastian Council Chambers June 24, 2105 In recognition of the year 2000, 76 years after our 1924 incorporation as the Town of Sebastian and 75 years after our 1925 reincorporation as the City of Sebastian, as the world celebrated the new millennium, the City entered into a contract with Curt Oxford and his business Curt Oxford Woodcarver, Inc. to create a new City entry sign to welcome visitors to Sebastian. Through Curt Oxford' s workmanship and artistry he created a beautiful seal with a pelican in flight for the "City of Sebastian - Home of Pelican Island" which was placed on signs at the entrances to the City and have since been used throughout the City in our parks and facilities to represent us. anor SE�T�N HOME OF PELICAN ISLAND The photos on the screen above show the 2000 dedication of the first City entry sign in the summer of 2000, as attended by Curt Oxford with former Council members Mayor Walter Barnes, Council Members Joe Barczyk and Jim Hill, former Charter officers City Manager Terrence Moore, City Clerk Kay O'Halloran, City Attorney Rich Stringer, former County Commissioners Fran Adams and Ruth Stanbridge, current Indian River County Tax Collector Carolyn Jean Jordan, with unveiling assistance by Public Works Director Terry Hill and Golf Course Manager Pat Cerjan. City Council, on October 11, 2000, adopted Resolution No. R-00-43 officially adopting the new City seal and logo for the City of Sebastian to be effective December 17, 2000. In that resolution Curt Oxford donated the design copyright to the City of Sebastian. Mr. Oxford created a design for the City Council Chambers dais area in 2007 but during a time of economic downturn throughout the country, the City wasn't able to make that happen. Recently it was brought to the attention of City Council that Sebastian was the only local government in Indian River County that did not have its City or County seal in its chambers. Staff contacted Mr. Oxford to find out how this could be made possible, he provided the design he created in 2007, and in discussion with the City Manager and City Clerk was requested to move forward to create and install it. Tonight we officially unveil the new City of Sebastian Chambers seal, and thank Curt Oxford for his creativity and excellence.
