Item E
Mr. Gillmor asked if the City should go back to the original local vendor ordinance and
reduce the local vendor net so that in this case, maybe the Sebastian company would have

anything in Indian River County to be a local vendor. The City Manager offered to put this
on the next agenda for discussion.

Mr. Gillmor said he had an opportunity to go to Washington D.C. with the Florida League of
Cities and talk with Senators Nelson and Rubio along with Representatives Webster and
Mica about the National Estuary Program and funding. He asked the Senators to put
pressure on the Federal Railroad Administration to look closely at the loan requested for All

Tab. Oriainal Bid. Revised Bid and Aareement)
The City Manager explained the CavCorp project was lumped together with the Indian River
Drive angled parking and the Police Department parking to receive economies of scale.
The City Engineer displayed a diagram of the original CavCorp project on the overhead
along with the proposed diagram with piping and drainage. (See attached) He said the
project is permitted, City crews will install the piping and concrete boxes and it should be
completed within 60 days after the 4'" of July.
Vice Mayor Adams asked if the option to reduce the bid was provided to the second lowest
bidder. The City Engineer explained that the unit price doesn't change but some of the work
is subtracted. If the low bidder was unable to subtract the pipes, the second lowest bidder
would have received the opportunity. In this case the lowest bidder accepted the reduction.
In response to Mr. Gillmor, the City Engineer confirmed if the parking plan didn't work out, it
could be restriped a different way. He also explained the lot will be raised a foot with one
inch of asphalt on top of what is currently there.

MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mayor McPartlan to approve the parking
improvements contract to Tim Rose Contracting.
Ben Hocker asked how many boat parking spaces will be available with this plan. The City
Manager replied there will be potentially 37 spaces. Mr. Hocker commented that will not be
enough spaces for a community trying to sell itself as a fishing community. He asked what
would be sprayed to prevent weeds and insects under the asphalt and if the lot could be
closed in portions to accommodate the boaters. The City Engineer said the lot will be raised
a foot preventing anything from growing. The City Manager said the size of the lot is what
the City has and at he will bring a plan for the overflow along with the kayak parking to the
next Council meeting.

truck.

11. PUBLIC INPUT
New information or requests to city council not otherwise on the prepared agenda
Bill Ingui, 626 Layport Drive, said the faculty from Sebastian Charter Junior High would like
to change the name of Wave Street to Dr. Martha McAdams Drive. He distributed a copy of
the Sebastian Charter Junior High Eagle Gazette with a cover story written by Taylor Eason
describing Dr. McAdams' dedicated service at the school. (See attached) He asked Council
to support the name change and request the City Manager to follow through on whatever
would be needed to rename the street.
The City Manager said he would do as directed but cautioned that inevitably someone
doesn't get the word on name changes and he would hate for something to happen at the
school during an emergency. He displayed a diagram of Wave Street on the overhead to
show what would be affected and noted the street was dedicated to the City so Council
could change the name.
Mayor McPartlan suggested changing the name of the school or naming the traffic loop Dr.
McAdams Way and have signs made for them. Vice Mayor Adams asked if it was possible
to give two names to the street. Mr. Gillmor said he would be in favor of having two names
to prevent confusion for the police and firemen.
Mr. Ingui said the Board considered the idea of changing the name of one of the school's
buildings; having two street names; and, decided to request the street name change. He
said he couldn't speak for Board but it was possible to make the loop Dr. McAdams Way.
Regular City Council Meeting
June 8, 2016
Page Five
The City Manager said he would investigate if he can get two names for the street; or
change the name to Dr. McAdams Way and obtain reasonable assurance that everyone in
the world would be made aware of the change. He will come back to Council with a report.
Gary Munoz 1014 Phelps Street, said the house behind him (1037 Evernia Street) has
turned into a commercial rental property and given him nothing but problems. He has talked
to the City Manager, Police, the Iowa owner and was told if there is a problem to talk to the
Police. He said he couldn't understand how the zoning laws are not enforced as sooner or
later there will be a confrontation with injuries and it is depreciating his property.
Mr. Gillmor said the Florida League of Cities is currently looking into recommending
legislation that would give municipalities some teeth in regulating short term rentals. He
said the state can supersede any new ordinance. The City Attorney advised that Vero
Beach has an old ordinance and the Court has accepted amendments to their old ordinance
so Vero Beach has a leg up on this.
Ms. Coy noted the RV and boat parking violations can be enforced immediately; she found a
few, not too many, rentals on the internet under Airbnb.
Bob Cook, 78 Gossamer Wing Way, said when he moved here from Texas he bought his
golf cart and would like to use it at the Sebastian Municipal Golf Course. He said it has
lights, a horn, and insurance.
The City Manager said Mr. Cook's cart is similar to what is being used by the City now. He
explained that the City has a significant investment in the 84-85 carts at the Golf Course
now and he asked what should be charged to offset the investment. He said a trail fee
could be possible.
Mr. Cook said he pays $15 for the City's cart every time he plays. He said if there were
number of people that wanted to do this the City would have to adjust their investment.
The City Manager noted if this is allowed, some consequences might include a number of
players trying to save the $15 that come down from Barefoot Bay who will fill up the parking
lot with vehicles and trailers; the street legal carts could rut the trail; and they would have to
be inspected.
Mr. Cook said he was willing to pay a trail fee. The City Manager said over time the Golf
Course has found the sweet spot on how many carts are needed and invested in a four year
contract. He offered to investigate this further and come up with reasonable solution.
In response to Vice Mayor Adams, the City Manager said golfers using their own cart would
have to sign a liability waiver.
Annette & James Isbell, 692 Lawson Street, said she has a petition and pictures of the water
in her swale. She said was told the swale would be corrected in 2018 but it needs to be
fixed now. The City Manager said he would look at her driveway tomorrow.

Jim Sunnycalb said there has been a recent fish kill at Easy Street Park and asked that the
fountain stay on during the night to oxygenate the water. He invited Council to view the
fountain's operational video to understand the importance of aerating the water. Ms. Coy
urged him to report the fish kills right away the next time.
Bob Stephen, 150 Concha Drive, said the spraying on the waterway stopped for eight weeks
and then started up. He enjoyed the return of the birds and asked why poisons are still
being used on the fresh water systems.
Ms. Coy noted the agenda used to say under public input, items can be brought up if it
wasn't previously on the agenda. She noted the City is not spraying glyphosate.
12. NEW BUSINESS
16.030 A. Review Charter Amendment Recommendation from Charter Review Committee and.
If Applicable. Direct Citv Attornev to Draft Ordinances for First Readina on June 22.
2016 (See item 8A)
The City Attorney stated Chairman Jones presented the Committee's three priorities and this
was Council's opportunity to put questions on the ballot.
Mayor McPartlan said he was aware the 2011 proposal to change Council terms failed but if
the Committee felt it should be on the ballot again, he would support it. He asked if the
Committee wanted to double the mayor's $450 salary to $900 or add the expense account
amount of $300 to make the compensation $750.
The City Attorney said the Committee intended to double each of the numbers. He also
explained that when the Committee made the motion to double the compensation, it
included the elimination of the $300 expense account and provide for the reimbursement of
actual expenses incurred.
Ms. Coy said she would support the revocation of the $300 expense account if the
compensation is increased.
The City Attorney said he would frame the wording that the expense account is part of
Charter so the voter receives the whole picture. He said the ordinance would have the word
for word change and the ballot question which can be amended at Council's judgement.
Mayor McPartlan said he would like to see the mayor's salary go to $750 which is the same
amount of money currently expended.
Mr. Adams said in addition to the Committee's three recommendations, he would like to
add the removal of mayor or vice mayor from office would require supermajority vote or
a 4-1 vote of Council. The City Attorney advised that would be alternative to the one
year term for mayor.
Ms. Coy said she wouldn't support the Committee's recommendation but would like to
delete the vice mayor paragraph to have some recourse to address issues of protocol.
Regular City Council Meeting
June 8, 2016
Page Seven
Mr. Gillmor thanked the Charter Review Committee for their hard work and said the
Committee felt strongly about the three recommendations. He noted the Governor can
remove a mayor, vice mayor or council member who does something egregious; he refuted
that he did anything wrong; the voters should be allowed to respond to the three items. He
said now, every time three Council members decide there should be a reorganization, it
could happen every other month.
Mayor McPartlan said some of the problem is the identification and the name should be
changed from mayor to chair and pointed out the City Manager runs the City not the mayor
as perceived by the public. He also said it shouldn't be supervote because the charter
officers can be removed with three votes; he suggested the fifth recommendation be to
change the name from mayor to chair and vice chair.
Vice Mayor Adams asked if defining a term for mayor and vice mayor would preclude
Council from removing someone if there is an issue with their performance. The City
Attorney said that is how he understood it.
The City Attorney stated the Charter Review Committee made it clear that the
recommendation was not based upon what happened to Council earlier in the year but they
were looking for equal treatment for both offices of mayor or vice mayor.
Ms. Coy stated it is easier to remove the vice mayor language. She said she would support
changing the title to chair and vice chair but it would not make a difference because of egos.
Public Input
Bonnie Pendleton, 652 Lawson Street, said she was a former mayor and councilwoman.
She cautioned that changing the name from mayor to chair might be regulated by the State
of Florida.
Chairman Jones said Council should probably leave the titles as they are; the Committee
really just wanted to make the positions equal.
MOTION by Mayor McPartlan and SECOND by Ms. Coy to put on the ballot that council
members would go from a two year term to a four year term and double the salaries, with
the mayor going from $450 to $750 a month and the council members going from $300 to
$600 with the elimination of the expense account but provide for receipted expenses.
MOTION TO AMEND by Mr. Gillmor to include recommendation #3 (require a super majority
vote to remove the mayor or vice mayor) and/or #4 (change the titles to chair and vice -
chair). There was no second, the amendment failed.
Roll Call: Ayes: McPartlan, Adams, Coy Nays: Gillmor Motion carried 3-1. (Hill absent)
Recommendation #3
MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mayor McPartlan to scratch the Committee's
recommendation to add language for a mayor's term and remove the paragraph regarding
the vice mayor's term from the Charter.
Regular City Council Meeting
June 8, 2016
Page Eight
Mr. Gillmor said he felt that Council was putting themselves in jeopardy to have the same
thing happen again. Mayor McPartlan said there wasn't a history of this happening; a
majority vote would help expedite change if there was a team that couldn't work together; he
carefully watched the Charter review meetings discuss this item and what happened earlier
this year. He was in agreement to scratch the vice mayor term or add the one year for the
mayor.
The City Attorney confirmed the motion is to delete the one year term for the vice mayor.
Roll Call: Ayes: Coy, McPartlan Nays: Adams, Gillmor Motion failed 2-2. (Hill absent)
MOTION by Vice Mayor Adams and SECOND by Mr. Gillmor to add language that will
require the removal of the mayor or vice mayor by a supermajority vote or 4-1 vote.
Roll Call: Ayes: Gillmor, Adams Nays: Coy, McPartlan Motion failed 2-2. (Hill absent)
MOTION by Mayor McPartlan and SECOND by Ms. Coy to change the title from mayor and
vice mayor to chair and vice chair.
Ms. Coy said she didn't think a title change would make a difference. The City Attorney said
the State uses the term presiding officer.
Roll Call: Ayes: McPartlan Nays: Gillmor, Adams, Coy Motion failed 3-1. (Hill absent)
Mayor McPartlan thanked the Charter Review Committee members for their work on the
recommendations.
16.008 B. Resolution No. R-16-11 — 2nd Quarter Buda_ et Amendment (Transmittal. R-16-11.

16.04 C. First Readina Ordinance No. 0-16-02 Solicitations — Schedule Second Readina and
Public Hearina July 13. 2016 (Transmittal. 0-16-02)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA;
PROHIBITING SOLICITATIONS, SELLING AND DISTRIBUTING TO MOTOR VEHICLES AT
SPECIFIED INTERSECTIONS; PROVIDING LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS; REPEALING
CONFLICTING PROVISIONS; PROVIDING SEVERABILITY, CODIFICATION AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the title and noted the intersection of Fleming and U.S. 1 should be
changed to the Schumann and U.S. 1.
Ms. Coy said she thought the soliciting stopped on the streets but recently there was
Georgia church group at Barber Street and Roseland Road. She said the solicitors are a
hazard and this ordinance provides for enforcement.
MOTION Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. Gillmor to pass Ordinance No. 0-16-02 on first
reading.
Mayor McPartlan asked if solicitations could still occur at four-way stop signs such as
Pelican Island. The City Attorney said unless it is a traffic light it is not an effective place to
solicit, whereas at a stop sign you could be run over. Mayor McPartlan noted if a solicitor is
slowing down traffic at a stop sign, law enforcement can push solicitors away.
The City Attorney advised the courts want to see there are plenty of other opportunities for
people to speak, this ordinance only names specific locations but allows the rest of the City
to be available, which stand a better chance of being approved by the courts.
Mayor McPartlan asked if the intersection has to say Roseland/Laconia to cover both sides
of CR512. The City Attorney said he is trying to identify the intersections and believes they
are covered.
Vice Mayor Adams said he agreed with the safety aspect; he wouldn't want to limit the good
work these organizations do and asked if they could stay on median or side walk. The City
Attorney said that could be done but it would be very difficult to enforce.
Ms. Coy said the people doing the solicitations are not legitimate groups; the groups that are
legitimate are in front of Walmart and supported by the citizens of Sebastian.
Roll Call: Ayes: McPartlan, Coy, Gillmor Nays: Adams 3-1 Motion carried. (Hill absent)
The City Attorney said the public hearing would be set for July 13th.
13. CITY ATTORNEY MATTERS - None
14. CITY MANAGER MATTERS
The City Manager reported a pipe between two Ponoka Street residences needed to be
repaired immediately and per the code, he was reporting to Council that he signed the
purchase order in the amount of $42,396 for this emergency repair.
Regular City Council Meeting
June 8, 2016
Page Ten
He said the problem described by Mrs. Isbell is an all too familiar problem where there might
be a collapsed pipe. He said he was at a residence yesterday with a pristine driveway pipe
but the adjacent neighbor's pipes were blocked, restricting water flow. He said the pipe is
the responsibility of the homeowner and he would like to bring up discussion where the City
might go in to correct these blockages and charge the homeowner at the City's cost. Mayor
McPartlan said he has brought up in the past the posting of a YouTube video on the City's
website showing the proper way to keep swale open.
15. CITY CLERK MATTERS - None
16. CITY COUNCIL MATTERS
A. Mavor Bob McPartlan
Mayor McPartlan said Memorial Day was a wonderful celebration except for the sound
system glitch.
He invited the public to attend the Vero Beach Wine and Film Festival this weekend to
benefit the SunCoast Mental Health Services for the Treasure Coast area.
B. Council Member Richard Gillmor
Mr. Gillmor asked if staff was pursuing the repair of the wind generator at the Airport. The
City Manager reported that some insurance proceeds were received and applied to the
Hangar C project. One of the outside generators is defective and the company is no longer
is business so he is in negotiations to get out of the wind generator business.
C. Vice Mayor Jerome Adams - None
D. Council Member Andrea Cov
Ms. Coy said parking by the Veterans Memorial will be discussed at the next meeting and at
that time she would like to discuss park rental procedure and fees.

asked the City Manager to request that the contractor to use the minimum amount that is
necessary for everything the City is spraying.

Dr. McAdams Retires
13 -Years of Service Comes to a Close TaytorEason, Editor
Sebastian, FL. — SCJH will be
losing its Principal of more than 13 -
years, after August 2016.
Dr. Martha McAdams has been at
SCJH since 2001, first as an
Educational Consultant, and since
January 2003, when she became
principal. Although most of you
know her as the Principal, she has had
a long history in education.
Raised in Arkansas, she received a
B.A. in Exceptional Education with a
minor in Elementary Education from
the University of Arkansas. Her first
teaching job was in Brownsville, TX
in 1970. She also taught in Houston
and began coursework for her
Master's Degree at the University of
Houston.
After a short time, she moved back
to her hometown of Springdale,
Arkansas and soon completed her
Master's Degree at the University of
Arkansas. She taught at the same
elementary school that she attended as
a child and many of her colleagues
were her former teachers. In fact, the
principal of the school, Mr. Oakley,
had been the principal when she went
there. She became Director of
Exceptional Education in Springdale
for a year and then had a similar
position for two years in Bentonville,
Arkansas (the home of
Walmart). Dr. McAdams moved
to Florida and worked as a graduate
assistant at Santa Fe Community
College in Gainesville while enrolled
in the Ph.D. program in Education at
the University of Florida. In 1982,
she received her Ph.D. in Special
Education / Administration.
When she arrived at SCJH, only
82 students attended the school.
When she became principal, she
introduced the Strategic
Instructional Model, a U. of
Kansas researched -based model to
help develop curriculum. Its
explicit instruction and classroom
routinesfor teachers was supposed
to improve student academic
performance. After one year, the
school went from a "C" school to a
"B" school. During seven of the
last nine years, SCJH has been
rated as an "A" school.
Over the years, her greatest
accomplishment was to help obtain
funding for building our new
school. She also taught graduate
school courses at UFF, FAU, and at
NOVA Southeastern University.
In her retirement, Dr. McAdams
plans to volunteer at SCJH and to
continue educator training through the
Florida Diagnostic Learning Resource
System (FIDLER) and the Strategic
Instructional Model, covering four
counties. With her free time, she also
plans to travel with Hal, visit family
and friends, and spoil her grandson,

To Whom it may concern,
I currently live in the Collier Club housing development. I own a 2012 Club
Car Precedent Golf cart. I also am a member of the Sebastian Golf course.
What I would like to do is be able to use my own Golf cart on the course.
This cart has lights, horn, turn signals and is fully insured.
I would be OK with paying a trail fee. Also would be OK with you charging
a golf fee to whoever might ride with me.
Thank you for considering this matter. If there are any questions or would
care to talk about this please feel free to call me.
