Approve Amendment I to the SJRWMD Sebastian Roseland Road Septic to Sewer Proiect (CSP20-211 and Authorize the Citv Manaeer to Execute the Aoorooriate Documents (Transmittal. Amendment. Scone) MOTION by Council Member Dodd and SECOND by Council Member McPartlan to approve the amendment to the SJRWMD Sebastian Roseland Road Septic to Sewer project and authorize the City Manager to execute the appropriate documentation. The City Manager said originally this funding was to help with the sewer on the west side of Roseland Road but some of those funds were not needed so the City transferred the grant to the airport sewer project. When the City applied for the SJRWMD reimbursement, it was realized that only 20% could be matched instead of 33% which reduces the amount the City would be saving but it is still a great opportunity to reduce the City's cost by $160,000. There was no public input.

CITY ATTORNEY MATTERS The City Attorney advised Council that he will be reporting to Ft. Bragg for military duty next week but would be available by phone. 14. CITY MANAGER MATTERS The City Manager said he has received a lot of positive responses from the survey recently sent out and encouraged everyone that received one to be sure to send it back in. The City Manager said at a previous Council meeting, staff was asked to look into roosters and found that they were not prohibited in the code related to the keeping of fowl but the noise could be addressed by the enforcement of: Sec. 67-1. - Noises; unnecessary and excessive prohibited. C. The following acts, among others, are declared to be unreasonably loud, excessive, unnecessary or unusual noises in violation of this chapter but this enumeration shall not be deemed to be exclusive, namely: (1) Power tools and landscape equipment. The operation of noise -producing lawn mowers, lawn edgers, weed trimmers, blowers, chippers, chain saws, power tools and other noise producing tools which are used at a residence out-of-doors between 9:00 p.m. and. 7:00 a.m. (2) Animals, birds, etc. The owning, harboring, possessing or keeping of any dog, animal or bird which causes frequent, habitual or continued noise and which disturbs the peace, quiet and comfort of neighboring residents. x x x a x He asked Council if they would like to prohibit the keeping of chickens in the City Vice Mayor Jones said he has had some conversations where people would like to have some roosters to fertilize eggs. Mayor Hill said the City is behind in not regulating roosters and it would be his preference to adjust the ordinance to get in line with other municipalities. Discussion followed on what the County allowed and if they should include fowl of all kinds. Mayor Hill said the fowl are farm animals; there are other municipalities that have laws in place and if the City regulates the roosters most people will follow the law and it will also provide recourse for those that live next to the roosters. Regular City Council Meeting May 11, 2022 Page 6 Council Member MCParthm asked about the offending roosters that me presently here. The City Attorney said they would be probably be grandfathered in. The City Manager said he has seen ordinances where existing roosters can't be replaced or that they must be removed after six months. He said staff would research the options. Resurfacine of U.S. Hiehwav 1 He advised that the U.S. 1 corridor from Harrison Street to Davis Street is scheduled to be resurfaced that will mill off the decorative parking and crosswalks. The cost to replace the decorative paving would be $350,000.00 that could come out of the DST funds. He asked Council if they would want to put the decorative paving back. Mayor Hill said Council added the decorative parking to reduce the speed limit and let people know that they were entering a special district. He said it was important to continue that commitment and not lose the feel of the riverfront district. Vice Mayor Jones agreed, stating it is something residents and visitors have come to love. The City Manager said the work would start in July 2023; FDOT will replace the markings; and the City will have to enter into a maintenance agreement. 6:48 pm Council Member MCPertlen asked that the parallel crosswalks that are outside of the road be included. The City Manager explained that FDOT is looking for what the City is interested in so they can include it in their bid price. He offered to ask what the price would be without the decorative paving but his challenge to that would be that he would need to close the road twice and it would take twice as long. The City Manager requested consensus to put back crossing and parking spaces as they are in the FDOT plan and add the crosswalk at Harrison Street. Council Member Dodd suggested leaving Harrison Street until they decide the structural plan for Harrison Street. It was the consensus of Council to keep the decorative paving in the 23/24 budget cycle. 15. CITY CLERK MATTERS - None 16. CITY COUNCIL MATTERS A. Council Member McPartlan said Sheriff Flowers would be holding a multi - agency law enforcement memorial in front of the court house on Monday, May 16m at 10:00 a.m. Regular City Council Meeting May 11, 2022 Page 7 B. Council Member Nunn said his friend's daughter, Abigail, received her driver's license earlier in the day and decided to make her first drive to the Council meeting. He said it was exciting to have youth excited about City government. C. Council Member Dodd announced the upcoming Indian River County Visioning Workshops to encourage people to get involved. (See attached) He said that so far the desires of the people of Sebastian are not represented very well in the visioning document. If people are interested in what the development might look like across the border they might want to come. D. Mayor Hill said it was nice to have Commissioner Moss come to the meeting to care about what the citizens of Sebastian have to say. He thanked Vice Mayor Jones for running the meeting in his absence. He also thanked the City Attorney for his military service. Mayor Hill asked if a rooster ordinance was coming back to Council. The City Manager said his understanding that he was to look at what the County has and the ability to not have roosters but have fowl. Mayor Hill said that was correct, the same as Vero Beach's ordinance. E. Vice Mayor Jones - None 17.
