S~ARY
This transmittal is to request Council's approval to repair and repave streets in the area where
Dempsey/Vocelle Drainage Improvements were made. Negotiations are underway with the
underground piping contractor for the costs associated with the road damage. Because the roads
were akeady identified for resuffacing in the City's resurfacing program and due to the'current
deteriorated condition it is recommended that action be taken immediately to repair the roads.
The proposed work would include repairing (recycle) the base on Dempsey from Fleming St to
Braddock St. and on Braddock St. from La)port to Dempsey (5,598 S.Y. for $20,050).
Resurfacing will be done on Dempsey from Fleming St. to Barber St, Joy Street, and Braddock
St (658 Tons for $21,700). Resuffacing may be conducted using an existing open purchase order
with Ranger Inc. utilizing funds remaining from Barber Street paving. Council action is required
to approve a purchase order with Asphalt Recycling, Inc. to recycle the road base for $20,050.
Funding for the project shall be from funds remaining on the Barber Street Paving Purchase
Order ($33,000). An additional $8,750 appropriation is necessary in order to fund both the
paving and base reconstruction for a total project cost of $41,750.
RECOMMENDED ACT]ON
Move to approve a purchase order with Asphalt Recycling, Inc in amount of $20,050 for road
recycling, and authorize an additional appropriation of $8,750 from the road materials account.

RE: Refund for mulching site plan application
Dear Mr. Frame,
This is in reponse to your June 15, 1998 letter.
Please be advised that just after Bruce Cooper submitted the site plan application
& check #7774 issued on 7112/96 in the amount of $750.00, I had a potential buyer
for the Old Dixie property.
i called Mr. Masserelli within a day or two, to ask him postpone all proceedings
related to the site'plan application. I told him that I would have Mr. Cooper contact
him if I decided to proceed with the application. He agreed to hold the money in
escrow, and if I did withdraw the application, I could have a full refund. He even
commented that it would be nice for the city not to have a mulching facility in their
backyard, if i d'~ choose to withdraw.
I received a fax on July 22, 1996. I questioned why he continued with research
after my request to postpone.
I did choose not to proceed with the facility and requested that the application fee
be refunded. Mr. Masserelli expressed that he would get to it as soon as possible.
I have been'attempting to have the matter resolved for almost 2 years. Mr.
Masserelli has resigned and my fee has not been refunded.
I have always felt that Mr. Masserellis intentions with any of my business
-,~-': .......... ' ....... ,,:,~, to wait in order for any action to
u=.,,,,,~ ~,=,= ,,,w,,y~ necjative. {was always '-'-' *
be taken in any matters that involved Mr. Masserelli and the cib/.
I am sure that you will handle this matter accordingly,
Thank You,

A. l~eviem Proposed Teleg_olllrauni~gtjons Ordinance - Pages 1-55
The City Attorney briefly reviewed the model telecommunications ordinance which was prepared by
a telecommunications association and redrafted by the City Attorney and City Manager to make it
relevant to the City of Sebastian.
The City Manager distributed and briefly explained an outline of the four basic issues for which he
will need direction fi.om Council regarding the franchise agreement (see attached).
Don Bertow(?), 145 Capri, Sebastian, noted that Congress is readdressing the Telecommunications
Act of 1996; and suggested a short term franchise agreement based on near future indnstD, plans for
the internet.
City Council reviewed the telecommunications ordinance by page; and suggested revisions are listed
below:
Line 20 - Mrs. Can'wright asked about the definition of"annual gross revenue" and the City
AttOrney suggested it be deleted
Line 23 - Mrs. Cartwright suggested adding "television" before "broadcast". The City Attorney
advised that the telecommunications act addresses other than television and requested she be given
an opportunity to review this. Move definition of"Cable Act" down to the next line.
Line 29 - Mrs. Cartwright again asked that "Cable operator" have "television" added somewhere in
the definition. Mr. Vickers agreed that there seems to be specific clarification between a
telecommunications operator and a cable operator. The City Attorney said she would review this and
report back.
TAPE I - SIDE II (7:47 p.m.)
Line 11 - Mrs. Cartwright questioned whether "cable" should be stricken and replaced with
"telecowanuulcations" in the definition of"f mchisee", to coordinate with Section 32-4 on page 9.
The City Manager said he had requested the City Attorney to contact the Florida Public Service
Commission to ascertain its taxation of telecommunications services. The City Attorney said she
would report back on Mrs. Camvright's question.
Page 30
LinelO - Mrs. Cartwright suggested deleting "but not more than once during any calendar year".
Council agreed.

Page 3
Line 14 - Mayor Sullivan suggested the definition of"AddressabiliLy" be clarified.
Page 6
Line 5 - Mayor Sullivan said she wanted to be sure that channels will be provided to schools.
Line 19. Mr. Paul suggested that the definition of"usable space" include underground space. The
City Attorney said she will look into it.
Lines 7-13 - Mr. Vickers said "Telecommunication service" is the crux of the definition issue. The
City Attorney said she will review federal law definitions.
Mayor Sullivan noted the. reference to underground cables in section 32-20; and questioned if one
utility located its lines underground, would all be required to do so. Mr. Vickers suggested adding
language regarding extraordinary circumstances or with approval of the City Engineer in paragraph
(b), as it currently reads in (d).
Page 17
Line lO - Mayor Sullivan said this paragraph cancels out requirements of Article VI. The City
Attorney said they are not canceled out because any agreement will have to be approved by Council.
She also said it could be deleted since the City may never use these provisions. The City Manager
stated that this should refer t~ Article V and not VI.
Page 34
Line 19 - Mr. Paul suggested that, with future growth in mind, more than one technician should be
required. The City Attorney suggested "sufficient technical staff".
Lines 29 & 30. Mr. Paul said he had received complaints about lack of compensation for down time
and had been asked to suggest 12 hours rather than 24. There was no concurrence.
Line 34 . Mr. Vickers said the '96 Cable Act provides for application for renewal 36 months prior
to expiration.
Line 23 - Ma,,'or Sullivan questioned -efunds. The City Manager said he would have to review how
to measure the time period the City spends on these applications.
Revic~ Pro~ Cable Franchise Agrc;.mcnt - Pages 1-9
The City Attorney noted that this was a model franchise agreement; and that she had not looked at it
all with reference to the City of Sebastian.
The Ci.ty Manager said negotiation of the franchise agreement will be easier due to the fact that this
is a model and allows more flexibility: and reiterated he needs direction in the four areas described in
City Council Workshop
July 1, 1998
Page Four
the outline. He said he may need to retain someone with expertise to review the proposed agreement;
and said he will come back with a cost estimate.
TAPE II - SIDE I (8:32 p.m.)
Discussion followed on construction permit applications and the need for someone with technical
expertise for review, duplication of network channels, the creation of a citizen oversight committee,
the importance of a government channel exclusively for the City, and construction bonding
requirements and uses.
The City Attorney explained the bond is for damage to City right-of-way and is not a guarantee of
completion of the system; and noted there is also a $500 daily penalty. The City Manager and Mr.
Vickers suggested alternatives to the 100% completion bond, and there was no objection to looking
into those alternatives. Mayor Sullivan suggested the City Manager look to other cities' franchise
agreements for fees.
The City Manager said the City Attorney would do some further review on matters discussed tonight
and as soon as drafts are modified he will circulate them to Council; and hopefully both readings of
the Ordinance can take place in August. Mrs. Cart'wright suggested attaching a fee schedule to the
ordinance.

"studies."
Mrs. Cartwright said the name of the department had not officially been. changed, and requested a

suggested the restriction not be put in effect due to sufficient water.
Donald smith, 208 Poinciana Street, Sebastian, suggested City Council readress the dispatch system.

2. Interview ~ql Appoint Two At-Large Memb~
The City Council interviewed Kathleen Brauer. Mrs. Wininger questioned whether a City employee
can be a member ora City committee under provisions ofFS 112.313 (10) (a), which she then read.
Attorney Williams said he interpreted this provision to mean "the only restriction is that a city
employee could not serve on the same committee which employs that city employee" and "the only
restriction would be that she could not serve as a city counciimember.", however, he continued that
FS 112.3143 (4) "would only restrict her fi.om voting on matters in which she, she or her family have
a direct financial interest."
Vice Mayor Wininger stated, for the record, that she is uncomfortable with a City employee serving
on a committee. Mrs. Cartwright agreed. Mr. Neuberger said he thought there was no conflict. Mr.
Paul said he was concerned there may be a conflict. Mayor Sullivan said it was apparent that the
majority of Council had concerns.
City Council interviewed Herbert Munsart.
MOTION by Sullivan/Wininger
I would move to appoint Herbert Munsart to one of the at-large members of the budget
committee.
VOICE VOTE on the motion carried 5-0.
It was decided that the committee should convene while the City Clerk advertises for another
member. The City Clerk said she would advertise the position to accept applications until July 17.
Other Committee Matters
Mr. Paul questioned whether he would still be considered the voting member on the Treasure Coast
Regional Planning Council now that TRCRPC had agreed to add another regular voting member.
Mayor Sullivan said that was her intent.
Mr. Neuberger reported on today's Metropolitan ~larming Organization adoption of the fa'st three
parts of the five year Transpiration Improvement Plan, and noted they were waiting for the City's
airport request to get it in the amendment. The City Manager said he would get that information to
the Airport Director.
Mr. Neuberger said they had also adopted the Indian River County Horizontal Control Network, a
new system of survey markers. He said he had copies available.

MOTION by Sullivan/Wininger
I would like to move that we authorize the City Manager to negotiate an agreement with the
County but also to add that you have a representative fi.om the Friendly Tennis Club sit in with you
because they have a great deal of knowledge on the program that they're offering and I think they
would be very valuable in meeting with the County and Mr. Frame.
Mr. Paul said he would like to have assurance that Sebastian residents have preference at the courts;
and that he hoped the County did not plan to use the four new courts and leave the two old courts for
City residents. The City Manager said these provisions could be added to the agreement.
Mayor Sullivan called for a vote, some ayes are heard, however, at the same time Mr. Paul said he
wanted to add those provisions addressed above.
MOTION amended by Paul/Cartwright
The motion would be to have primarily the Sebastian residents and children the primary
benefactors or use of the courts through the County and also the fact of all four new courts would not
be totally used by the County that the courts would be divided so you'd have at least one of the new
ones tied in with one of .the old ones.
Discussion followed on the amendment. It was noted that a final agreement will come back to
Council for approval.
The City Clerk restated the amendment "Sebastian residents and children preferred use of the courts
and that the four new courts not be used by County only."

City Attorney Contract (Be, port Forthc0roi~)
The City Manager stated he had met with Councilmembers and been informed that two
Councilmembers had no problem with the contract as it existed, two did have a numbers of problems,
and one that would like to explore an in-house attorney; and that he had relayed this to the City
Attorney and that she had submitted a revised contract to him. Discussion followed as to whether
there was cost study for an in-house attorney and the need for it.
Mrs. Cartwright stated "I think what I'd like to do fight here and now is move that we, we've just
spent too much time on this in the past two years and I haven't seen any changes or progress, and I'd
like to move that we, rather than go into renegotiation just offer, exercise our option, I move that we
exercise our option of the thirty day notice of termination to the City Attorney".
Mayor Sullivan asked, "You want to fire the City Attorney?"
Mrs. Cartwright responded "Yes ma'am I do. I want to exercise our option to terminate without
cause and give her the thirty day notice."
Mayor Sullivan asked, "Is there support? Motion dies...."

The City Manager said "what she indicated to me and frankly, well anyhow, her comment was that if
the Council was not satisfied with the current work agreement, that she would consider resigning and
would consider to stay on until such time as the Council had satisfactorily found a replacement, she'd
be willing to do that and I'm just reporting that information as opposed to just an out and out thirty

Mayor Sullivan said that would be her motion to follow the recommendation of the City Manager,
however, motion died for lack of a second.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
On June 24, 1998, pursuant to Section 102-82 Code of Ordinances the City Council declared a
water shortage emergency and caused the/Water Use Restrictions to be put in place with an
enforce date of July 8, 1998. At that time, the area and the entire State of Florida was in an
extended drought and subject to fire.
Since that date, the weather patterns have shifted and it appears that Indian River County is back
into the normal rain cycles necessary to eliminate the need to continue the current water use
restrictions.
Additionally, the current restrictions were written when the City was in the utility business and
does not adequately address real enforceable common sense approaches to water conservation.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to declare a water emergency to be at end and authorize the City Attorney to coordinate
with City staff, Indian River County Utilities and Water District representatives in the
development of revised water use restictions.
Tom Frame
City Manager

SUMMARY STATEMENT
This month as the Council Members are aware, we received the Objections, Recommendations
and Comments (ORC) back from the Florida Department of Community Affairs. As I briefed the
Council under manager's comments I noted that the City had 120 days to adopt its
comprehensive plan with or without the inclusions of the ORC report. As I pointed out there are
a number of modifications that have to be accomplished within a very short time period.
I met with Les Solin and Tom Tempe regarding the State ORC. Subsequently, I requested Mr.
Solin to prepare and addendum to his present planning services contract. The contract would be
to secure Mr. Solin's services in preparing the changes and necessary responses back to the
Department of Community Affairs. In light of the reduction with the planning personnel, it
would prudent to secure Mr. Solin for his expertise in completing the necessary tasks with the
required time flame.
Les Solin has requested a contract with a not to exceed amount of $7,000. He will bill on an
hourly basis for reimbursement with the not to exceed amount. In order to provide adequate
funding, a budget transfer ~,~ the amount of $7.000 would need to be appropriated from the
Undistributed Non-Departmental Account to be transferred to the current Community
Development budget.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to approve the City Manager executing a contract addendum with Les Solin and
Associates, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $7,000, and authorize the transfer of $7,000 from
the Undistributed Non-Departmental Account to the Community Development Department.
The available funds within the Undistributed Non-Departmental account after funding the
defibrillators would be $201,092

LES SOLIN, AICP, PLANNING CONSULTANT TO SEBASTIANt~
SUBJECT: CONTRACT ADDENDUM TO PREPARE CITY RESPONSE TO STATE
"ORC REPORT"
Attached is the draft of a Contract Addendum #2 which you directed me to .prepare.
As you know time is of the essence in developing the response. The State has advised that the
revisions necessitated by the State's required transportation element can be based on the Indian River
County Transportation Element since the City's Transportation Element must be consistent with the
County Transportation Element and requires transportation modeling services which my firm does
not offer. We discussed this issue with Jeff Griswold and he advised we pursue the course suggested.
The required addition of"density and intensity" policies for the "Riverfrom Mixed Use" Furore Land
Use Map designation causes concern only because this issue has been very divisive locally. Bob
Massarelli worked with the City's Riverfxont Committee in developing this land use designation and
related zoning provisions, including a proposed density and intensity which he did not include in the
Comprehensive Plan policy he recommended. W?d'fin the time flame established by the State, the City
will need to reconcile this issue. Bob had advised that the Land Development Code include the
following density and intensity thresholds for density and intensity which would be further moderated
by required green space, off-street parking and setback standards:
Maximum residential densiO,:
Maxirrrum FAR East of lna~an River Drive:
~[laximvan F.4.R West of lrMian River Drive:
Maxirrrum Height East of lndlan River Drive:

Please advise me if you need further information or have any questions regarding our proposed work
program We are continuing to compile an update of the Plan based on our work to date. This work
in progress will consume the $4,970 dollars remaining in our current work under contract with the
City. Should the City Council approve the attached addendum, obviously, we will include the revised
text in the updated Plan.

Expenditure Required: Amount Budgeted:. Appropriation Required:
$ 9,507.75 -0- $ 9,507.75
SUMMARY STATEMENT
The Flodda Bureau of Emergency Medical Se~ice did not fund this department's application for a grant that
would have paid 75% of the cost of five AED's. We are, therefore, asking the Council to fund what the grant
would have paid, so that this worthwhile project, which will put an AED in evep/on-duty Sebastian patrol car,
can be completed. In anticipation of the grant, Council approved the police department's solicitation for
donations from our community, to raise the grant's required 25% matching funds. Thanks to the generosity of
our community, a total $ 5,350 was donated by the individuals and organizations shown on the attached list.
This amount will be applied toward the $14,857.75, total cost of five AED units. Council is requested to fund
the difference, $ 9,507.75.
tt is recommended that these AED's be purchased from Physio-Controls, inc. Physio-Controls AED's are o-
the State of Florida's SNAPS Bid # 465674. These units are manufactured by the sam .company that
makes the more advanced AED's used by Indian River County EMS in their ambulances and are fully
compatible with those units. Also, EMS will supply us with replacement pads (about $30 per set), at no charge.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the C;ty Manager to purchase five Automated External Defibdllaltors for use by the police department
from Physio-Controis, Inc., using the $ 5,350 donated funds and the $ 9,507.75 appropriated by this Council
action, for a total cost of $14,857.75.
3~lanager's Note: The appropriation of $9,507.75 should be made from the Untlistribttted Non-
Departmental Account. Currently only $32,4000 has been ,"cpended from the original 3250,000
leaving a balance of$217,600.

MEMORANDUM
To:
Mr. Tom Frame, City Manager
Re:
State Grant for Automated External Defibrillators (AED's)
This afternoon I was notified by both the Florida Bureau of
Emergency Medical Services and Deputy Chief Brian Burkeen of the
Indian River County EMS, that our grant application for 5 AED units
was not approved for funding by the State's EMS Grant Review team.
Burkeen advised me that none of the grants submitted by Indian
River County agencies were approved. As yet no one seems to know
why these grants were all turned down. A Florida Bureau of EMS
staff member mentioned a couple of technical inequities in our
application. I have asked them to send us a full report as to why
our request was not approved. The Bureau of EMS advised that they
plan another round of funding for these units in the Fall and they
offered to assist us, if we chose to apply again.
As you know, with the approval of the City Council, we.made a
public appeal for contributions toward the 25% match money (about
$ 4,438), we would need, if we received this grant. Many of our
civic organizations, church groups, businesses and citizens made
contributions totaling $ 5,350. A list of contributors is
attached.
Given the life saving potential of AED's and the significant
interest and contributions of our community, I recommend that we
proceed with the acquisition of the 5 AED units ,we sought under the
grant. Cost of the units we proposed is $ 2,999.96 each. The
total cost for 5 AED's would be $ 14,999.80. Since we already have
$5,350 in contributions, it would require another $9,649.80 for the
purchase. I request that our City Council be requested to fund
this amount from non-departmental funds.
