Secure Underaround Prooram (Transmittal. PPTI
Bart Gaetjens, FPL External Affairs Manager, introduced Michael Fetto, Curt Person,
Jeffrey Stanton, Ron Hedgecomb, and Nancy Davies -Flickinger.
Mike Fetto said the pilot underground program is to convert neighborhood powerlines
from overhead to underground which will perform better during major storm events.
He displayed a PowerPoint presentation. (See attached) He said FPL has more than
76.5 miles of power lines in Sebastian, with 40 percent already underground; they are
focused on the remaining 60 percent (6,300 customers) that are still overhead. They are
committed to communicating throughout the project, obtaining easements and permits to
place transformers to feed the power. On average every 5-8 customer will be asked for
an easement. They plan to start construction in January 2022 for 18 months.
Mr. Fetto explained the primary purpose is to provide power reliability with aesthetics
being a secondary benefit. He offered to provide maps and a contact team to answer
any resident questions.
21.088 D. Presentation by Lisa Frazier. Communitv Development Director — Fisherman's
Landina - Working Waterfront (PPT)
6:25 pm
The City Manager said the CDD has put together a presentation on how the Fisherman's
Landing came to be and what the City's obligations are.
The Community Development Director stated that Fisherman's Landing has a significant
history and they should be proud of the park. She stated the main objective is to manage
the project site for the conservation, protection, and enhancement of the working
waterfront along with other related businesses necessary for the accomplishment of this
purpose. The City was founded on commercial fishing, is fortunate to have this property
and two well-known seafood distributors working out of this facility.
The City protects and promotes commercial fishing by providing dockage; an area for
the packing and shipping of freshly caught seafood; a historic fish house and museum to
share the knowledge and history of fishing; and the presentation of the seafood at the
local eatery, Crab E. Bills.
She stated Fisherman's Landing Sebastian, Inc. is the commercial fishing non-profit that
helps to organize all the commercial fishermen that have lease space in the marina.
Their lease includes the upland area, submerged land, the Dabrowski site, and the
parking on the south side. She said the upland area has always been designated for the
distribution of the commercial seafood and the fishermen have contributed to the design
and construction of the parking lot.

Mayor Dodd said there are a lot of new residents asking questions about the property
and asked if the presentation could be placed on the website. He noted the upland area
is a loading and unloading zone so the trucks can pull in and the fishermen unload their
fresh fish.
Mayor Dodd also said the City is at the end of the original project and now has an
obligation to maintain the Hurricane Harbor building which needs to be assessed to be
sound again. The City Manager said he does have a proposal to do a structural analysis
on the building.
Council Member Jones said he appreciated the explanation of why people cannot park
there. The Community Development Director added that periodically they will see the
fishermen's trucks parked there for loading/offloading or boat repair.
6:40 pm
Brief Announcements:
July 3m - Freedom Festival - Parade at 8:30 am - Vendors & Food in Riverview Park all day -

7. PUBLIC INPUT
Ryan Wade, resident, asked if residents could purchase Sebastian City Flags.
John Christino asked if the boat ramps would be open on July 41". The City Manager
said it would be.
Grace Reed, Sebastian, thanked Mayor Dodd for her appointment to the Charter Review
Committee. She also thanked the current City Council for the smooth City meeting with
coherent discussions. She said she wished more residents would come to the meetings
or appear on Zoom to voice their concerns instead of using social media.
She said she appreciated the choices that residents were given to participate during the
last year for everyone's safety and she was looking forward to the July 3 fireworks to be
discharged off the Twin Piers.

Grace Reed said this update was added to give Council the ability to suspend a
member. She noted there were options to attend the Charter Review meetings prior to
coming to this end point but no one joined the discussion; if people would have come,
their ideas could have been worked into the documents.
Mayor Dodd said this change allows Council the ability to hold a hearing to see if the
suspension of a Council Member is warranted, there will be due process.
Sharon Herman said there has been a lot of social media chatter on this change, she
wanted the people to understand it is important to determine if someone needs to be
suspended; the current Charter does not grant the ability to suspend a member; this is
so they don't have to go through the recall process again. She said if people are
unhappy with the language, she invited people to volunteer to serve on the next Charter
Review Committee.

Mayor Dodd said the House Bill which hasn't been signed by the Governor yet, basically
destroys the zoning requirements for residential property. He asked Council for
authorization to send a letter to the Governor requesting he veto this legislation. There
was no objection to sending a letter to Governor DeSantis. '

that the emergency declaration is over. The City Manager stated staff planned to notify

public to celebrate on July 3ftl, the greatest day of the year.
D. Council Member Jones invited Council to the American Legion, Post 189 Ground
Breaking Ceremony to be held on Sunday at noon.
E. Council Member McPartlan asked if the assessment planned for Crab E. Bill's would
include the entire building, outside, inside, and underneath because there are some
sewer problems; and include the tenant as well.
The City Manager advised the assessment would include the entire structure and what it
will take to bring it up to code and the tenant would be contacted if they are there. He
said the sewer problem was a broken valve in the lift station that has been repaired.
Council Member McPartlan said he was surprised that FPL did not mention the start of
hurricane season; noting since they want to put the lines underground, they must know
something.
He said the Chamber of Commerce would like two or three assigned spots in the parking
lot. The City Manager said the lease requires 12 spots within 250 feet of building; there
was a sign designating two or three spots but Council directed him to remove that sign.
There was a consensus of Council to work with the Chamber in regard to the parking.
He wished everyone a happy, safe 4' .
