SUMMARY
In order for the City to secure a date certain with a Pyrotechnics Firm for its annual fourth of July
fireworks celebration, (as has been customary) an agreement needs to be entered into.
Melrose Pyrotechnics, Inc., has provided this service to the City in the past, and as such would be the
most practical firm to continue providing the City with its fireworks display. A three year commitment
provides a price of $12,500 per year with a 10% bonus for the third year.
Due to the specialized nature of fireworks display(s) as it relates to the City of Sebast'ian including our
unique logistical requirements, (ie., firing from an island) and because Melrose Pyrotechnics has done a
satisfactory job in the past and is familiar with the details of our operation, staff recommends Melrose
Pyrotechnics, Inc., be awarded the Fireworks Contract for July 4, 2001,2002, & 2003.
RECOMM[ NDED ACTION
Move to waive competitive bidding procedures, and authorize staff to enter into a three (3) year contract
with Melrose Pyrotechnics, inc., forthe City's annual fourth of July Fireworks Display, for the years 200 I,
2002, and 2003.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
The Florida Department of Community ~s, Department of Criminal Justice Assistance has awarded
$11,081.00 in Local Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Funds to our City. This is the fourth year that such
Grants have been awarded to Sebastian. This Grant requires a 10% cash match which totals $1,200. The
Police Department has the matching fimds available in the Law Enforcement Confiscated and Abandoned
ProPerty Expendable Trust Fund, so additional funding by the City is not required for thin project. As in the
three previous projects, The Police Department intends to continue its program to equip each of its marked
patrol vehicles with video/audio recording systems. Ten vehicles have already been so equipped and this new
Grant will add three (3) additional systems, bringing our patrol fleet up to (13) thirteen units with this state-
of-the-art equipment. The benefits provided by video/audio recording systems include improved prosecution,
improved officer performance and adherence to policy and procedures, and saving of substantial time when
investigation into misconduct allegations might be necessary.

SUMMARY
ZCS Senior Housing Partners, LLC recently appeared before the City Council regarding the
possibility of constructing a Senior Housing facility in the City of Sebastian. ZCS is currently
building such a facility in the City of Melbourne located at 230 Babcock Street.
The City Council favorably forwarded support for a similar project in Sebastian to be located on
property currently zoned Commercial Limited (CL). Under current regulations, the City can permit
up to 8 units per acre within said district. However, for the project to be successful, the developer
is requesting 12 units per acre.
The proposed Ordinance would permit 12 units per acre as a conditional use within the CL zoning
classification. Additionally, the Ordinance creates conditions to protect the City from widespread
re-zonings for the purpose of attaining 12 units per acre.
The Planning and Zoning Commission will be holding a public hearing regarding this matter on
April 5' 2001.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold a first reading and public hearing for Ordinance No. O-01-07 and schedule a second
reading and public hearing for April 11,2001.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
Code of Ordinances Section 2-223 outlines the annual appointment process for the Budget Review
Advisoq/Board members.
I have attached a copy of the member list from last year. Mayor Barnes' and Councilmember Hill's
appointees will serve until 3/2002. Councilmembers Barczyk, Bishop and Majcher must each name one
appointee by the April 11, 2001 Regular Meeting. We will run a press release for two at-large members
who will serve one year terms. Those applications will be brought to you at the same meeting for
appointment.
Although the Code requires appointment at the first regular meeting after the election, I have checked with
the Finance Director and he informs me that there is more than sufficient time before the board needs to
meet.
Please have your three appointees submit an application form to the Clerk's office one week prior to the
April 11, 2001 meeting and remember that all City board members must be City residents.
CITIZENS BUDGET REVIEW ADVISORY BOARD
The Citizens Budget Advisory Review Board is comprised of 7 members, 5 of whom are individual
Council appointees, and 2 of whom are appointed by Council at-large. The 5 members appointed by
Council serve the same term two year term as the Council member who appointed them and the 2 at-large
members serve one year until the next election. For this year alone, two Council appointees will serve
only one year.

12.2:
12.3:
12.4:
by the Employer of the terms of this Agreement. Oral reprimands and written counseling memo's are
not grievable.
Most grievances arise from misunderstandings or disputes which can be settled promptly and
satisfactorily on an informal basis at the immediate supervisor level. The Employer and CWA
agree that every effort will be made by management and by the grievant, or grievant's, to settle
grievances at the lowest level possible.
General Provisions:
(a)
All references to days in this procedure are to calendar days. If the last day of any applicable
time period is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the deadline is automatically extended to the close
of business of the next working day.
(b)
Time is of the essence in this procedure. Although any time limit may be extended by
mutual written agreement of the grievant or the CWA and the Employer, the failure
of the grievant or the CWA to observe the applicable time limit shall constitute an abandonment
of the grievance, absent a mutually agreed extension.
l~r0~edure:
Within seven (7) days of the incident giving rise to a grievance, the grievant shall explain and
discuss the grievance orally with his or her immediate supervisor, who may call higher level
supervision into the discussion in an effort to achieve a prompt satisfactory adjustment. The
mediate supervisor will notify the bargaining unit member of his/her decision within seven
(7) days of the date of the discussion with the bargaining unit member. If the grievant is not
satisfied with the immediate supervisor's decision, or if no decision is communicated to the
bargaining unit member within the allotted time period, the bargaining unit member may appeal
to Step 2 within seven (7) days of the due date for the Step 1 decision.
Step 2 is initiated by the bargaining unit member filing with his Department Head a written
grievance on the standard grievance form, attached as Appendix C. The Depar~aent Head shall
schedule a meeting with the bargaining unit member within seven (7) days of the submission
of the written grievance. Within seven (7) days after the Step 2 grievance meeting, the
Department Head shall issue a written decision concerning the grievance. If the grievant is not
satisfied with the Department Head's decision, or if no decision is issued within the time
allotted, the grievant may appeal to Step 3.
Step 3.
Within seven (7) days following the date of the Step 2 decision or the date on which it was due,
whichever is earlier, the grievant may file a written appeal to the Human Resources Director,
attaching all applicable grievance documents. A grievance meeting shall be scheduled within
seven (7) days following receipt of the Step 3 appeal. At such meeting, the grievant may present
evidence and argument in support of the grievance. Within seven (7) days of the grievance
meeting, or within seven (7) days of the receipt of the Step 3 appeal if no grievance meeting is
held, the Human Resources Director shall issue a written decision conceming the grievance.

Manager will review all pertinent information and schedule a hearing including due process for
name clearing hearings and issue a decision within seven (7) days of the hearing or seven (7)
days of receipt of the Step 4 appeal. If the issue falls within the range of minor disciplinary
action, i.e., any discipline less than suspension without pay, the City Manager's decision shall
be final and binding upon the Employer and upon the grievant. In all cases other than minor
discipline and performance evaluations, if the grievant is not satisfied with the Step 4 decision,
the CWA may invoke the arbitration procedure of Step 5.
The CWA may invoke arbitration by sending written notice to the Employer within fifteen (15)
days of the date the Step 4 decision is igssued or the date on which it was due, whichever is
earlier. Invocation of arbitration by the CWA will not preclude settlement of the grievance at
any time prior to the issuance of an arbitrator's award.
The parties will attempt to agree upon a mUtually-agreeable impartial arbitrator. If, however,
thi~ cannot be done within seven (7) days folloWing the Employer's receipt of the CWA's request for
arbitration, representatives of the Employer and the CWA shall jointly submit a written request to the
Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) for a list of seven (7) professional
arbitrators. Upon receipt of the list, representatives of the Employer and CWA shall meet within ten ( 10 )
days and, beginning with the CWA, each shall alternately strike, one at a time, until only one (1) name
remains on the list. The person whose name remains on the list shall be the arbitrator, and the parties
shall jointly notify the arbitrator of his/her selection. Either party may object to all names on the list,
provided that objection is made prior to the commencement of the striking process. If this happens, a
second joint request for a list will be made. I
All arbilrations arising under this Agreement shall be conducted in accordance with the following rules:
(a) The arbitrator shall have jurisdiction and authority to decide a grievance properly before him.
(b) The arbitrator shall have no authority to change, amend, add to, subtract bom, or otherwise alter
or supplement this Agreement or any part thereof or any amendment thereto.
(c) The arbitrator may not issue declaratoryioptions and shall confine himself/herself exclusively
to the question which is presented to him. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to
determine any other issues not submitted to him.
(d) Except in the case of termination as disciplinary action, the arbitrator shall not substitute his/her
judgment as to the wisdom or the de~ee of severity of disciplinary action imposed on any
bargaining unit member by the Employer. The arbitrator's inquiry shall be limited to whether
the Employer possessed evidence of misconduct before imposing the discipline ultimately
imposed. In the event of the arbitratlon of a grievance arising out of the discharge of a
bargaining unit member, the arbitrator is empowered to either sustain the discharge or, if he/she
does not, he/she is empowered to reinstate the bargaining unit member with or without back
pay, in whole or in part, as the circumsmaces warrant. Any award of back pay shall be reduced
by any unemployment compensation or iother compensation the bargaining unit member may
have received.
23~
(e)
(f)
The fees and expenses of the arbitrator will be paid by the losing party. Each party
shall bear the cost of its own witnesses and representatives. Any party requesting a
transcript will bear its cost, unless otherwise agreed.
Copies of the Arbitrator's award, made in accordance with the jurisdictional authority
under this Agreement, shall be furnished to the parties within thirty (30) days of the
hearing, unless the parties mutually agree to extend the time limit, and shall be final
and binding on both parties.

practice of establishing written goals and evaluating the performance of the bargaining unit
17.2:
17.4:
member. It is needed to help measure, improve, and reward bargaining unit member performance, to
assist departments and the agency to meet their goals.
Definitions:
Annual Perfgr/nance Appraisal. The bargaining unit member's performance is appraised by
the supervisor no later than the first day of the month of his/her classification date each year.
The period of appraisal is the period of time since the bargaining unit member's last
performance appraisal.
Special Performance Appraisal. Special appraisals are performed by the supervisor
any time during the year for special reasons; i.e. change in pay, promotion, transfer,
reassignment, etc.
Supervisors are to administer a bargaining unit member performance appraisal annually and
special performance appraisals more often, as appropriate. The performance appraisal consists of
evaluating previously agreed upon goals and objectives. The appraisal is to be used as a management
tool to assist, motivate, and strengthen the bargaining unit member. Managers will also use the
performance appraisal to help determine compensation, employee development and promotion. Where
there is a difference of opinion conceming a performance appraisal between the supervisor and the
bargaining unit member, the bargaining unit member will have the opportunity to express their
differences in writing to the supervisor and the supervisor's evaluator. If the issue has not been resolved
at this level, the bargaining unit member may activate the employee grievance procedure. Bargaining
unit members rated unsatisfactory are not eligible for a step increase. Bargaining unit member's who
receive an unsatisfactory rating for two (2) consecutive rating periods of any type may be terminated
from employment for cause.
Sta~aent of Philosophy:
Both the City of Sebastian and the CWA believe that the purpose of the performance appraisal system
includes the following:
a) to clarify both management's goals for the position and the bargaining unit member's goals;
b)
to monitor the bargaining unit member's achievements and to review areas of needed
improvement; to make recommendations for improvement and establish time frames
to achieve the recommended improvements.
to facilitate communication between supervisors and bargaining unit members about
the members job duties and establish a framework for open, constructive feedback;
d)
to encourage and develop time line plans for bargaining unit member development, growth and
improvement.

member's specific job duties, job description, and ~erformance_ shall be reviewed by both the bargaining
unit member and the supervisor to discuss patterns of performance for the past year and expectations
or recommended plans for improvement for the Upcoming year. Each bargaining unit member has the
fight to add written comments regarding the perf6rmance appraisal on the performance appraisal form,

appraisal as a substitute for disciplinary action.
Prohatig~ary Period:
Each bargaining unit member selected to fill a vacancy for a continuing position or a temporary posted
position shall serve a probationary period (as stated in Article 14) which is an extension of the selection
procedure. The probationary period is to give the bargaining unit member an opportunity to demonstrate
his or her ability to perform the duties of the position. The City may extend the probationary period for
up to six (6) months beyond the classification date in order to allow the bargaining unit member the
oppommity to correct deficiencies in his or her Performance. Any absences without pay and absences

Head at least fifteen (15) days prior to the starting date of the course. If the Department Head
recommends the course, the recommendation will be forwarded to the City Manager or his
designee for final approval.
Approved training:. Approved courses must directly relate to the bargaining unit
member's current assignment which will improve his or her skills, knowledge and ability to
perform his or her duties and will increase his or her potential for promotion. Such
determination will be made by the Department Head and the City Manager or his designee. Such
courses must be offered by an approved technical or trade school or an accredited college or
university. Attendance at these courses must be during non-working hours.
Rqcipients of scholarships: Any bargaining unit member receiving a scholarship or

ARTICLE 24
MERIT/STEP PAY PLAN
New bargaining unit members who at the end of the initial probationary period, and after six (6) months
from their date of hire (new employee only), will be eligible for a one-step increase, after receiving a
satisfactory performance evaluation based uponi satisfactory completion of work performance.
Annually on the date of classification, the baegaining unit member will be eligible for a one-step
increase, upon reedpt cfa satisfactory performance appraisal of work performance. This will continue
annually until the bargaining unit member reaches the maximum pay for his/her classification.
If the recommendation for an increase is for one-step, justification is stated on the performance
evaluation and the pay increase will be implemented on the first full pay period following the bargaining
unit member's classification date. ,
In rare cases a Supervisor or Department Head may make a recommendation for a two (2) step increase.
When this occurs the performance evaluation and justification (supporting documentation) for the
greater increase will go before the City Manager. The City Manager will review the information and
either accept or ~ect the recommendation. The Department Head will be notified of the City Manager's
decision and he/she will be responsible for informing the affected bargaining unit member.
Note: Examples of supporting documentation would include letters of commendation from
supervisors, department heads or citizens, being considered for or selected as an employee of
the quarter and any other documentatiOn that would help justify a two (2) step increase.
If the City Manager rejects the recommendation, then a one-step increase is given. The Department
Head can request another review in ~ (30) day~ to convince the City Manager to approve the special
merit increase. The City Manager s decision will be final in all requests for a two (2) step increase.

SUMMARY
In anticipation of the opening of the Skate Park Facility on the grounds of the Barber Street
Sports Complex, we are presenting a schedule of rates and hours of operation via resolution.
The schedule of rates, while short is designed to recoup a portion of the investment in operating
expenses, maimenance, and personnel costs of the facility. The rates, following due diligence in
researching other facilities and their operations, are reasonable to the extent that they should
provide the necessary reimbursements for these expenses. While it is unknown what the actual
revenue results will be, we have determined from researching other locations, that this fee for the
size of the facility is reasonable.
The hours of operation are patterned after other skate facilities in the surrounding areas, one
schedule for when school is in session, and one schedule for the summer months. During the
hours when school is in session, the facility will be open 47 hours a week. During the summer
months, the facility will be open 82 hours a week. Staff believes these are good hours for the
safe operation of the facility.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to adopt Resolution R-01-21, establishing rates and hours of operation for the Skate Park
Facility.

Waive Bidding Proce~lure for Lightihg at Schumann Tennis
Park
We would like to waive the bidding procedure to purchase lighting equipment
from and have it installed by ILLS Lighting of Hollywood, Florida. When the new
courts were constructed, funds ran low and the City was unable to light the courts.
The contractor did install pole mounts and ran wires to them. The design was a
RLS lighting system similar to the Riverside Park Tennis Courts in Vero Beach.
Since the courts are already set up fora RLS lighting system it would make sense
to install that type of lighting.

SUMNLARY
As part of an ongoing review and analysis of various City codes, it was determined that following the reorganization
of the licensing function to the Finance department that many administrative changes needed to be made to the
Code. The purpose of the changes is to clarify responsibilities, i.e. who is the responsible individual for issuing
licenses and the appeals process, increase fees (or decrease as the case may be) via statutory authorization contained
in Section 205.0535, F.S. and clarify occupations subject to the tax and remove redundancies.
To summarize the process, the City reviewed the occupational license code for responsibilities and made the
appropriate changes. Iu addition, the City reviewed other Cities for input into additional language to further
strengthen the code as well as provide for procedures and fees which have periodically turned up which had no
guidance. Following this process, we implemented the statutorily authorized five percent (5%) increase in all fees,
except one, since there had been no increase since the code's original adoption on June 14, 1995. Florida Statutes
specifically provides for the ability to adopt bi-annual increases of five percent (5%) in the occupational license tax.
The one exception to the increase was to decrease the Real Estate Agent license tax to one-half that of a Real Estate
Broker.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to approve Ordinance O-01-08 and set a public hearing for April 25, 2001 and authorize the
advertisement of same.
