SUMMARY STATEMENT
In adopting Resolution R-93-56 on October 27, 1993 City Council
authorized staff to file form FCC 328 with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), seeking certification with the
FCC to regulate basic level service rates for cable television
service providers in Sebastian. This form was mailed to the FCC
on November 2, 1993 and received by the FCC in Washington, D.C.
on November 8, 1993.
The City of Sebastian's application for certification was
automatically approved on December 8, 1993 because the FCC did
not inform us that the application was denied within 30 days
after receipt. In filing FCC 328 the City, as stated on question
#3 of the form, has agreed to adopt regulations consistent with
regulations adopted by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section
543(b). These regulations must be adopted within 120 days of
certification, or no later than April 7, 1994.
(continued on page two)
Agenda No.
Cable Television Rate Regulation
page 2 of 2
However, the current rate freeze in effect expires on February 15,
1994. Therefore, in order to regulate existing rates for cable
television basic service in the City of Sebastian and insure that
these rates will not immediately be raised without review and
approval by the City once the rate freeze expires, local
regulations must be adopted before February 15.
As stated in question 5 on form FCC 328, the regulations adopted by
the City, as franchising authority, must provide a reasonable
opportunity for consideration of the views of interested parties.
"Interested parties" includes at least one representative of-the
local cable television company, Falcon Communications, Inc., as
well as members of the public. This ordinance complies with this
requirement and it is staff's recommendation that a local board or
committee be created to receive and consider the views of any
interested parties, thereby providing for public input into the
rate regulation process.
It should be noted that Ken Vickers, General Manager for Falcon
Cable TV in Sebastian, has contacted Chris Moore of the City's
staff to indicate that his company may argue against the language
contained in the last two sentences of Section 105-5 paragraph (b)
of this ordinance. Falcon's position is that all costs associated
with rate regulation must be borne by the City. This is presently
an unclear area of the new FCC regulations.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct public hearing on Ordinance No. O-94-01 and move to adopt
same.

S~'~.. STATEMENT
Since our meeting of November 8, 1993, the Fish & Wildlife Department has
required individuals to pursue an individual HCP on a 10,000 square foot lot.
Please refer to the letter dated December 22, 1993 from Fish & Wildlife
regarding Mr. Frank C. Fuchs requests to pursue the development of a single-
family lot.
At this time, I see that the City has several options that they could pursue
regarding this matter.
The City could send a letter to the Fish & Wildlife Service requesting
in writing to allow the City to continue development on single-family
platted lots of records, if the City was to pursue a HCP. I would
foresee that we would probably have to pursue this all the way to
Washington D.C., considering the existing staff in Jacksonville.
The City could try to coordinate with Indian River County to pursue a
County wide HCP.
Page 2
The City could pursue a ~CP on all lands identified by Mr. Toland.
Do notkingand require ~he individual homeowners to pursue approval from
Fish & Wildlife.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to authorize staff to send the letter to Fish & Wildlife Service and if
necessary, pursue this through the Washington D.C. office.

DI~AFT LETTER
SCRU zssu
_T.he ,C~t~ of Sebasti~ is the no~he~ most point of southern
population of over 12,000, resides mainly within the Sebastian
· 'lor~oa located adjacent to the Indi~ River Lagoon. The City's
Highl~ds S~division, which has over 13,000 platted lots. The 17
~ts of the Sebasti~ Highl~ds S~division were pla~ted in ~he
1960's ~d const~cted with paved roads ~d the associated drainage
~d utilities. There is approx~ately 5,500 s~gle-f~ly ~omes
e~sting within =~s s~division.
In Au~st of 1991, U.S. Fish ~d Wildlife Se~ice notified the
Mayor of the City of Sebasti~ of the pro,bi,ions against (taking)
endangered, sp~.cies ~y ~y person ~der the End,gered Species Act
~G the Gezini=ion oi ~y person was broaden to include the City of
Sebasti~. Specifically, the Fish & Wildlife Se~ice info,ed the
'City that "as a gove~ental entity which issues pe~ts allowing
~rivate 19nd o~ers to develop =heir prope~y, you are responsible
ior ensuring that activities authorized by the City will not be
bagful to the sc~ jay or other listed species.,, Basically, =he
Yis~ and Wildlife Se~ice made the City of Sebasti~ li~le for
vio&a=ions of Federal re~lations.
Brian ~oland, with the Fresh Water G~e Co,lesion, has studied the
Sebast~ area and identified ce~ain areas within the City of
~ebastian as sc~ jay h~itat. Mr. Tol~d developed a map
~n~%~a~lng. ~e s~ec~f%c areas of conce~ regarding the sc~ jay
n~l=at within ~ne city of Sebastian. Within ,just the Sebastian
Highlands S~division, there is approx~ately eight (8) areas that
have been delineated, which consists of over 2,000 lots affected by
the Fish ~d Wildlife's decision. Approximately 92% of the eight
(8) areas have been built with paved streets, drainage facilities
and utilities and at least ,half (4) ~f the areas have more than 50
percent of the lots with s~ngle-f~ly homes const~cted on them.
At that t~e, the Fish & Wildlife Se~ice info,ed the City that
the only accept~le mechanisms to eliminate the City's li~ility
under the Endangered Species Act was to create a H~itat
Conse~ation Plan. The City of Sebastian decided not to pursue a
~9P_~n~ ~!~ed individual homeowners to obtain pe~ssion from
r~sn a wilGliIe to c~ear their lots prior ~o the construction of a
residence. Between July 1992 and October 1993 the City of
Sebastian did receive approximately 40 letters of approval from the
Fish & Wildlife Se~ice giving the individual homeowner pe~ission
~o build a residence. The Fish & Wildlife Se~ice did not require,
Put reco~ended at least 20% of the lot to be preserved having
native scr~ h~itat.
Page 2
On November 8, 1993, the City of Sebastian received, via fa~, a
letter from the Fish & Wildlife Service indicating that they will
not issue "no take', concurrence letters on a lot by lot basis.
Individual permit applicants (homeowners) will be able to choose
between development of an individual HCP or waiting for completion
of the City wide HCP.
The Fish and Wildlife Service has taken the position' that the
single-family lots within this area must go through an "incidental
take permit", since the City of Sebastian has not pursued a Habitat
Conservation Plan. Over 2,000 single-family lots are affected by
this decision, which places an undue economic hardship on 'the
individual homeowner's lot consisting of approximately 10,000
square feet.
On November 8, 1993, a special meeting with the City Council and
Fish & Wildlife was held to discuss the HCP. Unfortunately, with
the Fish & wildlife Service (famed) letter the same day and the
attitude of Fish & Wildlife Service Representative, Dawn Zattau, it
was apparent that the Federal Government was not amicable in
working with the City. The City Council has been willing to
negotiate a compromise with the Fish and Wildlife Service regarding
the scrub jay issue, but Dawn Zattau of the Fish and Wildlife
Service has stated that she wants all of the areas (including the
single-family platted lots) to be included within the HCP.
PROPOSAL
The City of Sebastian is willing to consider an HCP, provided
the single-family platted lots of record are not part of this
HCP process.
Fish & Wildlife Service needs to recognize that development on
the existing single-family lots that have been platted and
built prior to the scrub jay being listed as an endanger
species, would be considered as a "no take" position. This
would be consisted with their practice prior to November 8,
1993.
If the Fish & Wildlife Service is willing to agree to the
above statements, the City would coordinate with Indian River
County to pursue funding through the approved 26 million
dollar environmental fund for the HCP. The City would also
require all undeveloped lands to coordinate with Fish &
Wildlife Service to preserve any necessary lands prior to the
City approving any type of development order.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
On June 3, 1993 the City Council requested that the attached policy
be reviewed by our Labor Attorney prior to the Council voting on
this policy. (I apologize for the delay. The attorney that was
handling it left the firm, and I neglected to follow up on it.)
Jim Linn from Carson, Linn & Adkins has reviewed the policy and
suggested three changes which I have incorporated into the final

testing policy makes good management sense and may help the City
save money in the event an impaired employee is injured on the job.

ACTING CITY MANAGER
DRUG FREE WORKPLACE
It is the policy of the City of Sebastian to maintain a work place
that is free from the effects of drug and alcohol abuse. This
policy is written in furtherance of both the Federal and State
Drug-Free Workplace Acts, and the Drug-free workplace program
requirements under Workers' Compensation, section 440.101 and
440.102
COMMENT
The City will not hire alcoholics or drug abusers whose current use
of such substances prevents them from performing their jobs or who
would constitute a direct threat to the property or safety of
others. Whenever applicants for employment are tested for the
presence of such substances, they are informed of the test in
advance. If an applicant does not want to take this drug test,
he/she can withdraw his/her application.
Employees are prohibited from the use, sale, dispensing,
distribution, possession, or manufacture of illegal drugs and
narcotics or alcoholic beverages on .City premises or work sites.
In addition, employees are prohibited from the off-premises use of
alcohol and possession, use or sale of illegal drugs when such
activities adversely affect job performance, job safety, or the
City's reputation in the community. Employees will be subject to
disciplinary action, including and up to termination, for violation
of this policy.
Employees may be required to take a test at any time as outlined in
the applicable collective bargaining agreement or in the City's
Standard Operating Procedures.
Ail information relating to an alcohol or drug test is confidential
unless written authorization is obtained from the applicant or
employee, or the records become the subject of an administrative or
judicial proceeding. A list of employee assistance programs and
local alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs may be obtained from
the Personnel office.
PAGE TWO
DRUG-FREE
During the testing procedure employees/applicants will have an
opportunity to report, to the specimen collector, his/her use of
prescription or non-prescription medications. The current drug
screening test looks at eight drugs: Amphetamines; barbiturates;
benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, methaqualone, opiates, and
phencyclidine. One specimen shall be collected to be used for two
(2) drug tests. The initial drug test undergoes an analysis by a
sensitive, rapid and reliable immunoassay procedure; the
confirmation test uses a second analytical procedure which must be
different in scientific principle from the first test. If the
results of the second test come back positive, the
applicant/employee must notify the laboratory if they intend to
file any administrative or civil action as a result of the drug
test results. Applicants/employees also have the right to consult
with the testing laboratory for technical information regarding
prescription and non-prescription medication that may affect the
results of the tests.
· For additional information on the City's policy on Drug and Alcohol
Testing, please refer to the Standard Operating Procedures, Section
20, which outlines the policy in more detail.
The Drug-free Workplace Act requires employers to provide each
employee and applicants with a copy of this policy. Therefore, I
am asking that all employees sign both copies and return one copy
to the Personnel Department no later than May 21, 1993.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. With your help and
assistance the City of Sebastian will continue to be a safe and
drug free work place.

Three bids were received as identified on the attached bid

trash hauling and disposal was $3.49 a cubic yard. I have
revised the cubic yard capacity for trucks number 15 and 18 as
based on the dimensions on file. The owner has initialed the
revised truck capacities. I have confirmed the price with the
owner for hauling and disposal in a legal manner, stating that
any invoices received without a legal-weight ticket or receipt
from a recognized disposal site would be returned.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to award the trash hauling and disposal contract to LI Tree

SUMMARY STATEMENT
During the current statutory 'annual audit of the City's
financial statements, the City's auditors can conduct an
independent study which will result in issuance of a separate
report and recommended written procedures for Golf Course
operations, for an amount not to exceed $5,000.
This Internal Control Study would be very detailed and in
addition to the annual audit which, by definition, relates to
"fair presentation of financial statements.,'
This Internal Control Study would involve a comprehensive
review of existing practices, including interviews with and
observation of staff on-site. The Study would have an
objective of recommending sound business practices evidenced
by written procedures for each function of the Golf Course
Pro-Shop and administrative staff.
(continued on page two)
Agenda No.
Independent Internal Control
Study of Golf Course Operations
page 2 of 2
This type of engagement, which goes beyond the scope of an
audit, is not designed or meant to be punitive. Instead, it
will provide a policy recommendation for City Council to
implement written procedures for the day-to-day financial
operations of the Golf Course.
Audit fees as budgeted for the current annual audit are
significantly lower than the prior year.
If engaged, the City's auditors will conduct an "inter~al
control study" or "agreed upon procedures" as requested. The
engagement letter will not refer to an "audit" per se, which
would require the auditors to express an "opinion" or in
essence some sort of "judgement" about the financial position
of the Golf Course.
RE~QMMENDE~,,,,ACTIO~N
Move to engage the City Auditors to conduct an independent study of
Golf Course internal control procedures at a cost not to exceed
$5,000.

FROM:
Marilyn Swichkow, C.P.A.
Finance Director
SUBJECT: Independent Study of Golf Course Internal Controls Over Financial
Transactions
Due to continuing questions, letters, calls and uncertainty regarding past and present
financial and business management practices at the City's very popular Golf Course, I
submit the following suggestions:
Use a portion of existing budgeted funds for "special audits" with no impact on Golf
Course budget to
Engage the City's auditors to conduct an in-depth on-site study of financial
and business management practices, policies and procedures of the
Golf Course.
provide Golf Course Manager, City Manager, Golf Course employees and
City Council with recommended day-to-day written procedures for the conduct
of daily transactions at the Golf Course Administrative and Pro Shop
department and
provide financial management recommended policies to City Council to help
insure the City's ability to meet its financial obligations to fund operations,
debt service and capital renewal and replacement.
A special engagement of this nature can focus on specific areas of concern that are
beyond the scope of a financial statement audit.
I believe this type of engagement would provide the most meaningful information to City
Council regarding Golf Course financial and business management practices.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
General Development Utilities had previously used Itron meter
reading units for all of its meter readings in Sebastian Highlands
and Vero Highlands. Unfortunately, when Indian River County
purchased the Veto Highlands System in 1993, just prior to the City
purchasing the Sebastian Highlands system, the County took
possession of the Itron units, the battery charger, and the docking
station. Since all of the Sebastian Highlands accounts were on the
Itron units, Interim City Manager, Kay O'Halloran, requested County
Utilities Director, Terry Pinto, to allow the City to use the Itron
units for its meter readers and that the City would buy them at a
surplus discount price.
Indian River County presently uses the Syscon Versa Term
handheld units to read its meters. The Itron units are not
compatible with the County's computer software, so they are of no
use to the County Utilities Department. The County Utilities
Department intended to declare them as surplus. A new docking
station and battery chargers were needed because the Itron units
had to be upgraded. Therefore, the City had no use for the old
docking station and battery chargers that were in possession of the
County.
Page 2 of 2
Agenda Request of February 2, 1994 regarding Itrons
In anticipation of purchasing the two surplus Itron units from
the County, the Finance Department requested that City Council
appropriate funding for the software upgrades, docking station, and
battery chargers. This request was approved on December'l, 1993.
After the new docking station and battery chargers arrived at City
Hall during the week of January 24th, I personally returned both
the docking station and battery chargers to Harry Asher, Asst.
Director of County Utilities, on Monday, January 31, 1994. ~he
City received a letter dated February 1, 1994 from Harry Asher
stating that the Itron units were to be returned as a unit or the
battery charger and docking station must also be purchased by the
City.
Rather than spend additional money for a battery charger and
docking station that the City cannot use and since the' City has
already purchased new equipment, I recommend that the City purchase
two new Itron units at $1,995.OO each, for a total cost of
$3,990.00.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to waive bid procedures and appropriate $3,990.00 to
purchase two (2) new Itron handheld meter reading units.

This is to advise that the battery charger and docking system are to be purchased with

All of the components must be purchased as a system or returned as a system.

Utility Billing Hardware and Software Upgrades
Conjunction with the GDU System Acquisition
in
Presently, GDU personnel read their meters in Sebastian Highlands
with hand held ITRON meter reading units. Due to your efforts, the
City will receive these units from Indian River County. The County
recently acquired them when it bought the GDU-Vero Highlands
system.
The ITRON units that the City will be receiving are compatible with
the utility software package the City bought from SCT Public
Sector, Inc. in Lexington, Kentucky. However, the units are older
models that need to be upgraded to accommodate the expanded
customer base. With the purchase of GDU, the City will add 1,242
customers to the 203 customers in Park Place and Palm Lake Club and
18 lift station accounts, for a total of 1,473 customers. The
ITRON units need to be upgraded for additional memory. The ITRON
interface software must be purchased to interface between the ITRON
meter reader unit and the utility software package. The unit must
download data from the docking station into the RSC 6000 computer
in the Finance Department.
Hardware to be purchased will include one docking station, a point-
of-sale cash register, a Utilities IBM dedicated terminal and bar
coding subsystem scanner. The capital costs for the additional
hardware and software is itemized as follows:
Spectrum Software License Fee
Finite Cost

By comparison, two new ITRON hand held meter reading units are $9,850.00

training personnel to use the system. Since SCT is also an ITRON
dealer, then we must request a bid waiver for a sole-source company. We
must also act very fast because SCT has advised Marilyn Swichkow that
eight (8) weeks will be required to complete all of the updates

· SUMMARY STATEMENT
During the week of January 24th, the SCT representative from
Lexington, Kentucky came to City. Hall to instruct members of the
Utilities Department on using the ITRON meter reading units. In
conjunction with the instruction, the representative also
demonstrated the "Service Orders Subsystem" which develops
service orders for water and sewer turn ons, shut offs, and
repairs. Ail such orders would be stored in the customer files
on the computer, so that a customer's entire history could be
collectively retrieved when necessary. Currently all our service
orders are manually typed on three part forms. The "Service
Orders Subsystem" will provide us with reports on the service
orders completed during a given month for a particular type of
service rendered.
The "Service Orders Subsystem" to be purchased from SCT, the sole
source vendor for the City, costs $3,035 with two (2) hours of
telephone training for $70/hour, and an annual service for $359.
The total cost for this package is $3,534.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to waive bid procedure and to appropriate $3,524 to purchase
the SCT Service Order Subsystem for the Utilities Department.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
At its regular Council meeting of January 22, 1991 the Council approved
Resolution R-91-01, which granted a sandmining operation for Janee Morchesky.
The applicant has since received two other time extensions on August 12, 1992
and January 27, 1993, which extended the sandmining operation until January
22, 1994.
The applicant is requesting another time extension for twelve (12) months in
order to complete the operation. The applicant's engineer, Randy Mosby, has
indicated that two-thirds of the site has been excavated and a total of
48,000 cubic yards have been removed. The original request in 1991 was to
remove approximately 82,000 cubic yards, which seems to be consistent with
Mr. Mosby's progress report.
Due to the existing topography, the applicant must cut down the grade in
order to properly engineer and develop the future subdivision.
Staff has no objections subject to the applicant providing an additional
Performance Bond to cover the period between 6/3/94 to 1/22/95.

Dear Bruce,

This letter will serve as a formal request for the use of Riverview Park
on Saturday April 23, 1994 for the March of Dimes WalkAmerica event.
The park will be the location of the start/finish line. We expect that
around 300 participants will be present at the walkathon. The set up will
begin at 7:00 am and the park will be cleared by 1:00 pm.
The March of Dimes has used this area in the past for similar events and
has an excellent record of cleanliness and order. As usual we guarantee
that the park will be left in good condition at the close of the event.
