I-~OR CrrY BLVD. Surr~ 505 M,~usoum~. F~omD~, 3290~ (40~ 98~3300 F~ (40~ 951-3741 ~Bo~ C~ IN T~ON * ~ Cm~mD IN W~. Dear Bruce: I have reviewed Mr. Sturm's comments with regard to the Code Enforcement Ordinance. I will address the issues as he raised them, to the extent I believe they need to be addressed. First, Mr. Sturm raises an issue with regard to the use of the term "violator", rather than "alleged violator". I have used the term "violator", rather than "alleged violator" because it is consistent with the terminology of the Florida Statutes. I will be happy to change this if Council desires. I do not believe, howe~er, that it creates any substantive legal issues with regard to the sufficiency of this ordinance. Mr. Sturmalleges an inconsistency between Section 2-177~ regarding the definition of Code Inspector, and Section 2-189 regarding the city Attorney. There is no inconsistency due to the fact that Section 2-177 is merely a definitional section. In fact, Section 2-189 states that the City Attorney represents the city and the Code Inspector. Obviously, it is contemplated under the ordinance, that the Code Inspector will provide testimony to the Board, and the City Attorney will act as the prosecutor representing the city and Code Inspector to the Board. I see no inconsistency in these provisions. .I I I I I I I i I I I I I I i .?.- ,1 Mr. Bruce Cooper Director of Community Development City of Sebastian Page -2- Mr. Sturm next alleges an inconsistency between Sections 2-178(a) and 2-178(b). There is no inconsistencies in these sections. Section 2-178(a) explains that the Code Enforcement Board has jurisdiction over all ordinances within the City of Sebastian, including the Land Development Code, and the Code of Ordinances, unless jurisdiction is specifically and exclusively retained by another board, commission, committee, or administrative official. In like fashion, Section 2-178(b) expresses the idea that the Code Enforcement Board does not have exclusive jurisdiction over the Code of Ordinances and the Land Development Code. Rather, other commissions, committees or administrative officials may have concurrent jurisdiction along with the Code Enforcement Board. In fact, a proper reading of these two sections demonstrates a consistent thought. Mr. Sturm next contends that Section 2-179 should not contain provisions to allow City Council to appoint up to two alternative members. I disagree. This ordinance specifies the membership and composition of the Code Enforcement Board. It gives the City. Council some discretion with regard to that membership. Just because the City Council has determined that the current board will be seven members and two alternatives, it does not mean that a subsequent City Council would not decide to eliminate the alternative members. Therefore, I believe this language should remain within this section in order to allow subsequent Council's discretion over the size of the Code Enforcement Board. With regard to Section 2-183, Mr. Sturm finds objectionable my specific use of the language that members of the four Board shall constitute a quorum. He prefers the statutory language of four or more members of the board shall constitute a quorum. I have made this revision, however, I do not believe it changes the substantive meaning of the provision. Finally, Mr. Sturm questions Section 2-185(b) wherein it requires officers of the Board to be elected by a majority vo'~e of the membership of the Board. Mr. Sturm's question involves why this language does not merely require a majority vote of the membership present at the meeting. This provision can certainly be changed, at the discretion of Council. The intention of this provision is to require that officers of the Board be elected by the entire appointed membership, rather than by merely a quorum. I have amended this language in order to allow the election to occur at the first meeting of the Board each calendar year when all appointed members are present. Mr. Bruce Cooper Director of Community Development City of Sebastian Page -3- Alternatively, we could amend the language to allow officers to be elected by a quorum, rather than the entire appointed membership. I will leave this issue to Council for discussion. '1 I I I hope this letter adequately addresses the concerns raised. I am submittin~ the proposed ordinance to you for final review and adoption.

BRIEF iIISTORY -- SB 364 From 1081 thro,gh 1992 Legislative Amendmedts to Chapter 205, 'Occupational License Tax AcI". Flodd,.t Stalme were minimal r~lative to the issues that needed to be addressed. The Amendmenls tha! passed the Legislature during this time added various t~gulatory constraint~ on the isn,nnce or Occupational Licenses but failed to address such Issues as: Tax P. qulty, Deft,ilion/Intent or the Tax, Disparities Between Local Governments, Ability for Local C;overnments to Adju.~t Tax Rates. Penalty Pro~,isions, Vending Company Concerns, $~ec~al/Limited Economic Development Taxing Authority, Transfer Fee Pales, Permanent Lx-,cntion Claritqcation, etc.. T'hi.n in not to Say that there were not amending proposals introduced in the Legislature that addre.~.ned some ol' these i.nn,es because there were many such bills introduced. However, the Legi.~lflmre did not pans any of' thes~ bills. Opposing lobby forces ~ete al~ays ~cce. s~ul at killing them in committees, goth sides would base their arguments on the premise that the bill in que.~tion did not address mnny of the major problems inherent in Chapter 205. As a result no ,;ignilqcant progre.,;.; was made toward correcting the many problems. In 1990, after I0 yearn or 'Legislative Grid-Lack', the Legislature created the Florida SLa~ute 20.'; Study Commission and specifically tasked this Commission to develop amendittg provisions for ret'orming Chapter 205 and to nnbmit these re:ommendattons to the Legislature for the 1991 session. The composition ot' the Commission was designed so as to include equal ~p~tatton or all the opposing or interested factions that had ~voived over the previously stated time f'tame. There were Seven representative positions for Local Government and Sevtnt for l~usin~s ~d the ACeR was tasked ;,ith making it barques. The Study Commission met on f'our separate.two day sessions bet~,,een September i 8, 1990 and snnuary 15. 1991. The amendments to Chapter 205 that passed the 1993 Legislature ($ll 364), alter failing tn reach "The Floor' in 1091 and 1992. are primarily the recommendations that ~ere developed by the Commi.nnion. They do not address all the areas of controversy that ~tst in Chapter 205. For example. Definition of Occupational Licenses and Permanent Location ~,ete no~ clarified. Rowever, the amendments do address a majority of the problems/concert~ of Lacal Government and gu.nine.n.~. i .I I I AMENDMENT PRF-~ENTATION It is possible to present the amendments to Chapter 205 through v:~-ying approaches, for. example, Minor Changes first and Major Changes second. However, this pre~tatio~ first . addresses the amendments that are effective immediately thtpugh nO action by the local government. Secondly, the presentation wiU address, in order by statute s~ctiotl flUtllber, the amendments that: 1) Require action by the local government for implementation; 2) May be discretionary as to Local Government implementation; or 3) The Local Government has a time- frame to complete the implementation. It seemed appropriate to discus~l the immediate chllnge~ tint, although minor in comparison, because they are ah'eady impacting the daily operations of license administration, issuance, processing or enfon:ement. A~fENDiYIF_2WTS EFFECTIVE IMMI~DIATELY AND/OR 1993/94 LICENSING YEA.R: Section 205.032 Levy; counties and Section 205.042 Levy; municipalities: Amends the minimum number of days requh'ed to provide public notice between rust and second readings from 15 days to 14 days. Sect!on 20.5..033 Conditions for levy; Counties mhd Section 205.043 Conditions for levy; I mumcipalit~es - Subsections (1) (c) respectively: Clarify that the effectiveness of Occupational Licenses is for I year and that all Occupational Licenses expire on September 30 of each year. NOTE: Important phrase appears at the end of these subsections - 'P..xcept az otherwise provided by law.' This statement is usually interpreted as the authority for partial year licenses, (1 day, 3 day, 6 months, etc.), provided such license time limits are stated in the ordinance. I Section 205.033 municipalities - Conditions for levy; counties and Section 205.043 Conditions for levy; Subsections (2) & (3) respectively: Amends the transfer fee charges for license transfers of business owners or Ucense transfers to new locations: "Up to 10 percent of the annual license tax, but not less than $3 nor more than $25. Section 205.033 Conditions for levy; counties - Sttbf~.tiOti ('/): Subsection (T) is added to cla~-tt'y that a County may dedicated all or part of their portion - of the Uccnse taxes they coUect for 'overseeing and implementing a c:o~p~hen~ive economic development strategy through advertising, promotional activities, ~d other sales and marketing techniques.' Section 205.045 Transfer of administrative duties: This entire section is added to state that a municipality may collect license taxes for the county or a county may collect license taxes for a municipaUty provided that the parties execute an appropriate inter local government agreement. Section 205.053 Occupational Licenses; dates due and delinquent; penalties: Subsection (1) is amended to change the date that licenses will go on sale for each year from September i to August I. This change gives businesses ~[nd extra month to remit payment without delinquent penalties being applied. Subsection (3) is added to provide local governments with the authority and ability to recover all or part of collection cost incurred by that government usociated with collection efforts of delinquent license taxes in excess of 15Oday$ from the date of initial invoice. "(3) Any person who engages in any business, occupation, or profession covet-ed by this chapter, who does not pay the required occupational Hcense tax within 1:50 days after the initial notice of the tax due, and who does not obtain the tequ~ occupational license is subject to civil actions and penalties, including court cost, reasonable attorneys' fees, additional administrative costs incun'ed as a result of collection efforts, and a penalty of up to $2~0." Key words or phrases that lend to the interpretation of the intent of this section are 'is subject to', 'including', and "and'. It was the intent of the FS 205 Study Commission to give local governments an additional tool to help with timely collectiofts and tee. over any additional collection cost and levy an .additional late penalty of up to 5250. In no way does this section diminish your ability to pursue collection through other available authorities, i.e. Code ffnfotcement Board, Court System, etc. nor does it effect your ability to levy Code ~nfotcement Board Penalties. I '1 I I I I I I I I I I I I i I I I i Section 205.0537 Vending and amusement machine: Thc addition et' this section is an attempt to correct Hcensing problems that wet= implied by various vending machine companies, i.e. tt~sf'erS, machine ch~ges, ~tc.. Primarily the section transfers the ultimate liability for paying the ~ and t, ectir~g the required licenses to the business where the machine Is located. Previously, most local governments placed this liability on the company that owned the ~lchin~. Floweret, payment of the tax in this manner is not mandatory. The company that owns the machine(s) may still option to pay the tax and secure the license(s). The responsibility to notify the business location of the tax HabilJty a~sociated with i vending machines located on the businesses' property falls on the vending machiite company. Also, the vending machine companies, upon request, are required to furnish the local government with a location listing tot every vending machine they have placed within the requesting jurisdiction. The section establishes or aclcnowledges 'Service Vending Machine" ~i.~ a ~teparate form of vending machine and that the Telecommunication Lobbies were successful in getting an occupational license ~ax exemption for coin operated telephones. The license tax, if determined on a per machine rate, must be based on the. highest number of machines that were placed at a location on any single day in the previous licensing year. This is intended to eliminate fees and administration co~t associated with: 1) The transfer of machines from one location to another, 2~1 The addition of machines during the current licensing year, and 3) The changing or swapping of' machines of the same license classification. You may still requite an additional max if ~t cllange or swap places a machine that is classified differently and the license tax for that class of machine is higher than the machine it replaced. AMENDMENTS EFFECTIVE 1994/95 OR 1995/96 LICENSING YEAR~- ' Section 205.0315 Ordinance adoption after October 1, 1995: This section is added to clearly establish the authority of a local government to adopt an occupational license ordinance if they did not have a license ordinance in effect as of October 1, 1995. The section also establishes a basis that local governments must use when developing the license tax and business classification Structures. Section 205.033 Conditions for levy counties and Section 205.043 Conditions For levy municipalities; - Subsections (1) (b) respectively: The amending language added to these subsections is extremely important. It effectively locks a local government under the current State imposed caps or free~s unless the local government amends and/or adopts an occupational license ordinance pursuant to the added Section of 205.0535 or Lt' applicable 205.0315. In fact, this provision is intended to motivate local governments to amend their license ordinances. The alternatives a~e: I) Amend your ordinance pursuant to 20:5.0535 which upon adoption establishes local government authority over license classifications, Hcense taxes and future tax increases, or 2) Do not amend your ordinance pursuant to these sections, thus remaining under State control and the State imposed limitations, caps/freezes, and/or inequities that aze inherent in Sections 205.033 (1) lb) or 205.043 (1) (b). Section 205.033 Conditions for lesT; counties; -- Subsections (4} & (5): These subsections provide the format for the distribution of OocUl?tion.al. License.TaX.es I collected by counties. The amendments to these two sections a~e intended to nullity me distribution formula contained in these sections provided that a county has complied with the ordinance adoption requirements of 205.0535. The added Section 205.0536 contains I language that alters this distribution. It is expected that the counties that impose Occupational License Taxes will work I towards adopting new license ordinances pursuant to 205.0535. The benefits to a county in doing so are: I) The previously explained "Home Rule" control, 2) The county will keep a larger sham of the taxes that they collect, and 3) The additional potential to I narrow or close the tax disparity between counties & cities that exist under the current system. I Section 205.033 Conditions For le~y; counties; .. Subsection (6') (e): This subsection of 205 establishes the authority for a county defined ut~det FS 12~.01 ! (I) and adjacent counties, (Dade, Browa,rd, Monroe &: CoUier), to levy ~ additionaJ Occupational License Tax of up to $0 percent for the purpose of economic development. Dur/ng thc sessions of the 205 Study Committee it became obvious that the business representatives ~vanted this provision to go away. They were afraid that Utis authority could easily be expanded to every county thus rapidly expanding the tax on business. Zn fact, the Economic Development Commission was successful in getting various bills introduced to the Legislature for 5 straight yea.rs that, if adopted, would have. expanded this taxing authority. The amending language of this section as agreed upon by the Study Commi~ion was a key element in enabling the Commission to agree upon amending provisions that were paramount for local government, such as, local government control over classifications and tax schedules, removal of the tax freezes and loca/government control over increases no~v and in the future, tax disparities between cities and counties, and tax equity att~ong the various business classifications. The 'importance for the business representatives to amend rids section so as to prevent possible future expansion of this authority is evidence by what was ~iven up verses what. was gained. The 'Give Ups" as agreed upon have no impact upon those counties that have aJready implemented the authority contained in tltis section, (*Dade and gro~,atd), they may continue to impose this author/ry. However, the amendment~ do impose a time limit for enactment, (.Tanuary l, 1995), upon those counties that have not enacted rids authority, (~onroe, Collier). These counties must either act upon this authority by ,Tanuary l, 1995 or lose the ability. The "Gains" ate as stated government control over classifications and ~ schedules, 2) Remmra.! above: l) LocaJ or' the tax freeze~ and locaJ government control over increases no~, and in the future, 3) A mechatd~m to reduce the tax disparities bet~,een cities and counties, and 4) A mechanL~ to attempt to accomplish some form of tax equity among the var/ous business cL'uaifications. Section 205.0535 Reclassification and Rate Structure Re'risions: ~ provides the authority for locaJ governments to amend classification and rate structures provided they do so ~vitkin the prescribed time frame. 'By October i. ! 995, any municipality or county may, by ordinance, reclassify businesses, professions, and occupations and may establish ne~,, rate structures, if the conditions specked in subsections (2) and (3) ate met." 7 This section further indicates th~ power of the communication lobbies, l'u~t is hi the vending machine amendments, they successfully got themselves ~t special exemption provision. Basically, a local government may t~lUtre the licerlsiflg of only ot~ location - for telephone service providers that are certifitd pursuant to FS 364.3375. ~ establishes the 'Equity Study Committee". This committee iS to he appointed by the local government. It must be composed of representatives fwm the business community within the local government's jurisdiction. The pu~x)se of the committee is to develop a classification and rate structure for mcommen~ot~ to the local government. The local government does not have to adopt the recommendations of the F. quity Study Commiuee. They must only provide for the transmittal and consideration of the recommendations. In fact, after complying with these requirements and with perhaps a few minor changes, a fecal government could adopt the same ordinance that they air,dy have in place. Although acting in this manner may circumvent the 'Equity Intent" concept, this type of action would ensure the loc~l governments "Home Rule' ability for the future. NOTE: When acting under the authority of this section, a municipality should consider the impact that county enactment may have on their occupational license revenues. If the county adopts an ordinance pursu~tnt to this sectien, there is a strong possibility that the citieS within that county will lose license revenues unless they act accordingly, Subsection (3'~ (al establishes limits on Occupational License Tax Rate increases that a local government may impose upen adoption of an ordinance pursuant to thi{ section. These Limitations are as follows: I. 'A minimum license tax of up to $25 is permitted.' This limit is intended to help with disparity problems and to encounge local governments with very Iow license rates to act under this section. There ate many local governments that if they optioned to increase their license tax to the $25 minimum would effectively increase license revenues by over 200 percent. 2. For those local governments that already have their rates above or equal to the $25 minimum license tax authorized increases are: 'for licenses costing $150 or less, 200 percent; for licenses costing mote than $150 but not more than $500, 100 percent; for licenses costing more than $500 but not more than $2,500, 75 percent; for licenses costing more than $2,500 but not more than $10,000, percent; and for licenses coating more than $10,000, 10 percent; however, in no case may any license be increased more than Subsection C]) Col establish the total license revenue limit that a local government Nay generate as a result of enacting the authorized increases at 'the sum of the revenue base and 10 percent of' that revenue base.' Subsections I. & 2. define the revenue base for municipalities and counties respectively. I. "The revenue base is the sum of the occupational license tax revenue generated by ~ for the most recently completed local fiscal year or the amount of revenue that would have been generated from the authorized increases under s. 205.043(I)(b), whichever is greater, plus any revenue received from the county under s. 20:5.033(4)." 2. 'The revenue base is the sum of the occupational license tax revenue generated by I~ for the most recently completed local fiscal year or the amount of revenue that would have been generated from the authorized increases under s. 20:5.033(1)Co), whichever is greater, but may not include any revenue distributed to municipalities under s. 20:5.033(4)." In the attachments ! have included samples for calculating the revenue base for municipalities and counties. Subsection i'3) lc1 is the authority for a local government to exceed the I0 percent total increase above the revenue base. This is possible because the revenue ba~ is relative to the revenue collected based on the licenses issued. It is the intent of this section to authorize the total revenue increase to exceed I0 percent of the revenue base. I-Iowever, an increase above the ! 0 percent of the revenue bane must be as a result of incmued licenses due to reclassification. ~ establishes a local governments authority to increase license taxes every other year by up to :5 percent. This action requires a majority plus one vote of the local governing body. ,~ prohibits a local government from issuance of an Occupa~onal License without first acquiring the business's Federal ID or Social Security Number. This amendment was added this year upon recluest by the Department of Revenue. It is intended to make the transition for local governments to participate in the RISW. program easier at some point in the future. It is expected that at some point in the near future the Department of Revenue ~ local government participation in this program. Section 205.0536 Distribution of County revenue~: ' This section changes the distribution of license tax revenues collected by th& county. When a county adopts a license ordinance ~utsuant to 20:5.0:53:5 the pOttio~ Of license taxes collected from businesses in the unincorporated areas will no longer be included in determining the distribution of the county collected revenues. A county may enact this provision as early as October 1, 1994. Muaiciit~11ties that d0 not act under s. 20:5.0:53:5 that are located within counties that do act under s. 20:5.0:53:5 may experience a decrease in the license revenues received from the county. Additionally, if' a county adopts such a license ordinance to be effective October I, 1994 and the municipalities within that county do not, the revenue base ~,hich is the basis for determining the total allowable license revenue increase ~vill be reduced. It is the intent of' this section to encourage municipalities and counties to enact the provisions of' s. 20:~.0:53~ as quickly as possible and in cooperation or: I) Lose the opportunity, 2) Lose license revenues, and 3) Lose the potential to maximize future license revenues. For the most part, this ends the presentation of the amendments to Chapter 20:5 Florida Statutes. However, one more very important Section that is a part of the Law is Section 11. Section I I states 'Except as otherwise provided in this act, this act shall take effect upon becoming law." The act was signed into law by the Governor on May 4, 1993. 10 OCCUPATIONAL LICENSES FINANCE DEPARTMENT CITY HALL ONE CITY COMMONS 400 SOUTH ORANGE AVENUE, ~'~ FLOOR ORLANDO, FLORIDA 32tOJ-3302 MEMORANDUM To: From: Date: G.

Based upon the CAO's response to our. memorandu, m of.. A. pfil 7, 1993, we initiated and implemented the applicable necessary acuons to comply with the requirements of the new law that were effective immediately. Additionally, we initiated the necessary actions, applicable to our authority, so as to ensure the City's ability to adopt a new Occupational License ordinance effective October I, 1994. Upon your review, please note that the 'Equity $~dy Committee" referenced in the task list must be appointed by the elected body, Secondly, our recommended composition of this committee indicates maximum representation and is based upon the composition of the Legislative Study Commission and those additional classifications that we expect .will be most heavily effected. Thirdly, the appointment of the Equity Study Committee and the implementation and completion of the task assigned to the committee within the indicated time frames are critical to meeting an October 1, 1994 implementation date. Finally, the amending provisions of the new law requiring the appointment of the F_.quity Study Commission are probably of the greatest importance. It is through the enactment of these provisions that the authority over the Occupational License Classification Structure and Fee Schedule is transferred from the State to the Local Government. c: Brenda Robinson I I I I I 1 !

July 1, 1993 Off£ce of Lega~ Aff&£ra FROM: TO: RE: STEVEN J. ZUCKER ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY JIM PARKER TREASURY SUPERVISOR JOHN WEEKS OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE SUPERVISOR OCCUPATIONAL LICENSES - PENALTIES As per your request, the following addresses the issue of whether I additional penalties allowed by. Section 205.0§3(3), Florida Statutes, may be automatically assessed upon expiration of the specified time frame. Sec~!on 205.053(3), signed into law by Governor Chiles on May 4, 1993, provides that: Any person who engages in any business, occupation, or profession covered by this c~apt~r, who does not pay the required occupational licens~'tax within 1S0 days after the initial nouice of tax du~, and who does not obtain the required occupational lz~ens% is'subject to Civil actions and penalties, including court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, additional a~in£strative costs incurred as a result of collection efforts, and a penaltF of up to $250. The wording of this provision creates two possible interpretations. The first would allow' the City to automatically l~pose (and invoice) a penalty of up to $250 immediately upon the expiration of the 150 day period if the person had neither paid the tax or obtained the required license. The second would, allow the City to incorporate into its Code a penalty of up to $250, but only be entitled to such penalty amount, as well as the other costs itemized in the statutory provisio~, as part of a civil action that may be instituted upon the expiration of the i$0 days. Either of the above interpretations is reasonable. I would suggest that the City, after setting the penalty amount, write, the additional penalty into Chapter 36 of the City Code in such a way that would permit its automatic imposition upon the expiration of the 150 days. if you accept as fact that most 9ersons, if not all, Jim Parker and John Weeks July 1, 1993 Page Two who fail to obtain the required license and pay the license fee within 150 days of the initial invoice are also not likely to voluntarily pay any additional penalty, then the City loses nothing by imposing the additional penalty automatically. By doing so, the City can still, at any time after the same 150 days, institute a civil action to enforce the additional penalty and may even end up having maintained or enhanced its rights to enforce such penalty as a result of having notified (invoiced) the person in question.

Inc. ) and Costal Technologies ) EXPENDITURE AMOUNT APPROPRIATION REQUIRED: BUDGETED: REQUIRED: SUMMARY STATEMENT In the beginning of December 93, the City experienced moderate wave action and increased tides due to a storm located in the northeastern United States. The storm produced steady winds ranging from 15 to 25 mdb from the northeast. The high tides and the wave action has eroded several areas of the bank along the shore line of Riverview Park. Last year the City ext~erienced a similar phenomenon and Graded and sodded the banks along Riverview Park. During the s~%m~r the sod had rooted firmly, and stabilize the side banks. However, in December, the sea water killed the bahia sod and erosion has occurred. This is the third time that this erosion problem has occurred, and is a continuing problem. I feel it is appropriate that this problem be acknowledged and the City take the necessary actions to correct the problem before the erosion encroaches further into the park and possibly causes damage co the newly installed boardwalk. I have contacted an engineering firm chat is familiar with shoreline stabilization. ~ have expressed the City's desire Co keep the shoreline and bank area protected with natural vegetation or stone revetment in a manner that is aesthetic and compahible wi~k ~he environment and conducive ~o the surrounding area. The first steD would be to have a joint meeting with the state agencies involved in the Dermitting to discuss viable alternatives that could be satisfactorily Dermitted. The engineer then would DreDare a written reDort for the Drobable cost of shoreline stabilization. The alternatives would be brought to City Council for aDproval of the most aesthetic and cost efficient method. The engineering firm would then send a DroDosal to the City for the Dermitting. It is anticiDated that the Dermitting costs could be between $2000 to $6000. The engineer would coordinate with the landscaDe architect for selection of Dlant material that would not only held to stabilize the bank area but Drovide a colorful and aesthetic flora and fauna for the area. It is not anticiDated that the landscaDe architect would be required to attend the joint meeting. However, his presence, knowledge and experience could be beneficial as he may be able to better reDresent The City's sincere desire in solving this Droblem in a method that would enhance the area besides just Droviding stabilization. RECOMMENDED ACTION Move to aDDrove the DroDosed agreement for Coastal Technology cord in the amount of $1,950. for the Riverview Park Shore stabilization and to retain Brad Smith ASLA on an hourly basis for consultant work at a Drice not to exceed $500.

Box 127 Sebastian, FL 32958 RE: ~VIEW PARK SHORELINE STABILIZATION Dear Mr. Eckis: As we have discussed, this letter is a proposal for engineering services relative to the stabilization and enhancement of the shoreline at Riverview Park. As we discussed, the City seeks to stabilize and create a vegetation buffer along the shoreline. In general, we propose to develop alternative concepts, estimate costs, hold a pre-application conference with DEP and USACE staff, and prepare a letter report to the City including recommendations for shoreline stabilization and potential funding sources. The following are proposed services by Coastal Technology Corporation (Coastal Tech) for the City of Sebastian (City): Coastal Tech will visit the site to observe site conditions and perform measurements along the shoreline including overall frontage, areas of existing aquatic vegetation, eroded areas, and approximate water depths. Based on these measurements, Coastal Tech will prepare a conceptual plan and cross-sectional sketches - depicting shoreline stabilization alternatives including: a) b) c) d) and, e) do noth/ng; submerged breakwater; emergent breakwater; revetment; sand ~l nourishment. Coastal Tech will then hold a pre-application conference on site with representatives of the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the U.S.-,4rmy Corps of Engineers (USACE) regulatory staff to discuss the alternatives and to identify staff requirements for permits - if attainable. Coastal Tech will then prepare cost estimates for the design, permitting; and construction of each alternative deemed permittable by agency staff. It is our understanding that the City will address landscaping and aquatic vegetation requirements separately through Brad Smith & Associates (BSA). Coastal Tech will then prepare a letter report to the City identifcng the results of the work including recommendations for shoreline stabilization and potential funding sources for the project. Coastal Tech will confer and coordinate with BSA. Fees for these services are ............................................ $1,950 qq 75800 Ma'.

My service will offer a small chapel area for family and friends to sit while their pet is being cremated. We will also ~ave for sale erms, coffins and other associated items. I would like to operate the crematorium at this location. The equipment meets all state amd EPA regulations. There are. negligible emissions and no odor or noise from the operation of the equipment. Pets will be kept frozen until their crematiom, also preventing odor and unsanitary conditions. I would like to operate my pet cremation business at ~33 sr 512 in sebastian.

If' you should have any questions or comment: about the following information please call me at 800-228-0884 or 407-851-0993. Refractory ..lined Stack: We roU 12 ga. steel into a cylinder and line it with 2 inches of 2600~ F castable refractory to keep the heat within the stack and to protect the steel shell from thermal breakdown and corrosion. In fact all internal points of the entire incinerator are lined with a minimum of 4.5" of cast refractory insulation or insulating brick. - '. safely accepts temperatures as high as 2600~ F, this is critical because of state mandated operating temperatures of 1800a F or greater - completely safe for indoor installation (U.L. listed) - compatible with any standard recognized building materials (steel, wood, fiberglass, etc.) Sealed Chamber~: We totally enclose the primary and secondary chambers with a 12 ga. steel shell and "seal" weld all the seams closed, so that no fluids or gases can escape. better stmca.ml integrity provides insulation barrier - retains fluids and odors inside primary chamber until completely combusted The floor of the primary chamber and the roof of the secondary chamber ,are one continuous piece of castable refractory at least 7 1/2 inches thick. - direct heat transfer from secondary chamber to primary chamber for better fuel efficiency hot floor gets fluids into a gaseous state very quickly so they can be combusted No buffer plate (steel) or air zone, that can expand or buckle which will prematurely break-down the primary chamber floor .. - carcasses or wastes are thoroughly reduced to ash Monolithic Arched Roof: We take the time to cast a smooth, round arch roof in both the primary and secondary chambers. much greater structural integrity, when refractory cracks it will support itself, will not crumble a like fiat roof tend to -- better air and gas flow within the chambers, no "passive" zones larger chmnber volume or area North American XS-Air Nozzle_Mix Burners: We do not use industry "packaged" burners. Our burners are manufactured by the industry leader (North American Co.) and have a distinct advantage in that they have ao moving Darts. offer greater flexibility in calibrating the air/gas mixture for optimum fuel efficiency iow maintenance because they have no moving parts that wear or get clogged - longer burner life - virtually replacement free Removable Side Panels: The exterior side panels are all hand fitted and threaded with machine screws so they can be easily removed and replaced should inspection or repair be required. - faster and easier entry into the interior of the incinerator - less expensive to work on, no torches or welding equipment needed to remove or replace side skins Refractory-Lined Draft Inducer (Patented): This device creates a draft (negative pressure) in the incinerator. By virtue of its patented refractory lining it is able to operate continually (24 hrs. per day if necessary) at extremely high temperatures (2600a F) while maintaining required retention times'. saves time in that no cool-down period is required for the safe operation of this incinerator -: saves gas (ie money) in that you do not have to keep cooling machine down, then pre- heating it again to satisfy state environmental requirements .... remember no cool-down is required with our equipment - greater longevity for equipment life because there is less expansion and contraction going on. It is always better to operate an incinerator on a continuous basis rather than with starts and stops. Center-Soil: Counter-Balanced Door: Our charging door is split in its center, when opened the bottom half goes down and the top half goes up. The amount of physical exertion needed to open or close this type of door is very minimal. You also have to open the door only a small distance when inspecting or "working" the cremated remains inside the primary chamber. - no periodic adjustments needed, door halves always stay in equal balance - less heat is lost when opening door - less exposure to operator - no need to bend over to inspect cremated remains, door opens at a comfortable level for such inspection Intrical Cremated Remains Hoooer: Allows for the convenient removal of cremated remains by simply raking the ashes into a funnel opening at the front of primary chamber. The ashes will fall through th~funnel and be deposited into a container or standard urn for return to the client. Saves time when doing individual or private cremations Independent Structural Framework: We construct a free-standing superstructure using 'T' beam, squares, channel and angle steel, all joints are seam-welded for strength, we then add insulating materials and other pertinent components to complete construction. extremely durable superstructure for longer operational Life easily moved without danger of distortion even weight distribution facilitates easy installation 0 oacitv Sens93L' This device automatically monitors the opacity level Within the stack and ensures the absence of visible emissions. - In the case of operator error or unforeseen circumstances that may cause the incinerator to produce visible emissions, this device will temporarily lower the combustion rate in the primary chamber, allowing the secondary chamber to complete combustion of gases, thus eliminating any visible emissions. Multiole Material Side~Wall Constructio,~ The inside walls of the incineration Chambers are a combination of hard brick, high-temp insulating brick, insulating mineral block and thermal mineral blanket. - hard brick provides prolonged operational life insulating brick retains temperatures within the chambers, saving you money in fuel costs. mineral block and blanket axe an added insurance of heat retention Multi-Point Combustion Air Iniectio.; The air injection system is constructed of seam-welded steel tubing and fittings, in conjunction with a modulated and controlled central air supply source. This system will provide a substantial amount of preheated combustion air for distribution to various points throughout the incinerator. The combustion afl- is preheated £or greater fuel efficiency and re. fractory stability. This intricate distribution system is designed for greater flow dynamics allowing for variable amounts of air to be introduced at critical points to ensure complete combustion and enhanced levels of fuel efficiency. - faster, cleaner and a more complete combustion takes place generates fuel savings as gas input is reduced, combustion air is combined with fuel content of materials being incinerated creates turbulence so gases can readily mix with air for rapid combustion Chamber Door/Burner Interlocks~ This mechanism will automatically shut the primary burner off when the loading door is openecL This is a device that must bo requested when placing order. Safety must be of primary concern to everyone involved in the operation and maintenance" of an incinerator. All of the Crawford C500 and C1000 series incinerators am listed by Underwriters Laboratory for safety. The sole function of U.L. is to test for safety and they am the most widely recognized authority on the subject. It is important to emphasize that the entire incinerator(s) is U.L. listed and not just some of the component parts. compatible with any recognized building materials - saves money on insurance premiums - m~ts building and f'u'e codes - completely safe for indoor operation " Over and above the physical attributes of our equipment, is the experience we have in manufacturing machines/'or :his industry. Crawford machines have been servicing this market for over 18 years. The knowledge derived/'rom that experience has lead to numerous innovations over the years. It is important that you select a company that has the experience to help you through unexpected situations. We have that experience.

Memorandum of Agreement 3, ~%~'uti'0n' No. R-9I-Z~ APPROPRIATION REQUIRED: SUMMARY STATEMENT The State of Florida Department of Transportation has acknowledged the City's request for the funding of irrigation and plant material to be installed by the City in the U.S. ~1 medians. We have estimated that the cost for the material will be approximately $104,697. The state will determine the appropriations for the funding of the material within 45 days following receipt of the executed Highway Beautification Grant and Maintenance Memorandum of Agreement. When directed the City attorney shall draft a resolution identifying the City Council's approval for the grant and maintenance agreement. The City's budget will need to be amended. A revenue line item should be added for the grant amount, and an expenditure line item should be added to track the invoices for reimbursement. RECOMMENDED ACTION Move to approve the Highway Beautification Grant and Maintenance Memorandum agreement by execution and direct the ~-~ to draft a resolution for acceptance of the agreement. ~,00~ FRESE.

I have several comments that I would like to pass on. First, Exhibit "A" to this agreement must be more specific with regard to the highway covered by the agreement. I would prefer that Exhibit "A" identify the highway by its state designation as well as by reference to the specific mile markers wherein the section that will be maintained is included. Paragraph 1 of the agreement refers to Exhibit "B". Unfortunately, Exhibit "B" contains no specifics about what the City ~s agreeing to do. Due to the fact that paragraph 1 specifically states that we are agreeing to install landscaping on the highway, it is imperative that this exhibit be completed, in its entirety, in order for the City to be able to fully understand the expense they are going to incur by installation of the landscape. Section 1, page 2, states with great specificity the requirements upon the City to "maintain" the right-of-way within the limits of the project. The maintenance obligation specified within this provision appear to me to place a substantial manpower requirement upon the City. Further, failure to comply with the "standards" can result in the State's termination of the agreement or reduction of payment. Further, paragraph 1 specifically prohibits change or deviation from the plans, as specified by the Department, without Mr. Dan Eckis City Engineer/Public Works Director City of Sebastian December 22, 1993 Page -2- written approval of the Department. Therefore, compliance with this agreement is going to take great care, and in my opinion, can expose the City to significant financial liability if breached. Further, paragraph 1 repeatedly refers to the "plan". Unfortunately, no where within the agreement is the "plan" spelled out. Paragraph 2 of the agreement specifies the Department's rights if the City fails to maintain the median pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Again, due to the fact that the agreement that I have been provided is vague as to its terms, I am concerned about this provision. Further, subsections (a), (b) and (c) specify remedies that the Department has, including charging the City for work that is conducted by the Department, if the Department determines that the City has not complied'with the agreement. Further, these provisions also give the Department the ability to remove the landscaping. Paragraph.2 does not provide the City with any recourse, with the exception of complying with demands by the Department, if the Department's District Secretary determines that the City is in breach of this agreement. I find this paragraph to be very one sided and it puts the City in the posture of having to do whatever the Department requires them to do, without the ability to appeal the Department's opinion. This section should be re-written to allow the City some recourse prior to the Department having the ability to take the actions that are set forth in paragraph 2 of the agreement. In paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of this agreement, although I would recommend minor language changes, my primary concerns are identical to those I have set forth in paragraph 2. Namely, th~ scope of this project has not been specifically defined. As a result, the City's liability is not clear from the reading of the contract. Paragraph. $ provides for termination of the agreement. Unfortunately, it only provides for termination by the Department upon certain events. It does not provide, for the benefit of the City, any mechanism for termination of this agreement. It would be my advice that the City have an ability to terminate this agreement if for some reason it becomes financially unable to comply with the maintenance requirements. This concern may be alleviated if the scope of the project is restricted by term of years or other predictable factors. Mr. Dan Eckis City Engineer/Public Works Director City of Sebastian December 22, 1993 Page -3- Paragraph 7 of the agreement requires the City to indemnify and hold harmless the Department, to the extent permitted by law. This section is objectionable and I would advise that it be stricken from the agreement. Paragraph 11 of the agreement attempts to limit our remedies for breach of this contract, to decisions by the Department's District Secretary. This provision attempts to preclude us from being able to challenge the Department's decisions in Court. Further, it give the Department the exclusive right to decide all controversies. I cannot recommend executing this agreement with this type of provision. Further, once paragraph 11 is removed, a venue provision needs to be added to this contract placing venue in Indian River County. If you have any further questions regarding this agreement please let me know. ' Sincerely, FRESE, NASH & TORP¥, P.A. Richard E.
