MEMO
City of Sebastian Mayor and City Council Members
From:
Councilman Freeland
Date:
August 4, 1993
Re:
Removal of Charter Officer
Pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Charter of the City of Sebastian,
I hereby present facts which, I believe, constitute cause for the
removal of Robert S. McClary as City Manager for the City of
Sebastian.
The City Manager has failed to present a realistic budget and
has failed to recommend realistic budget revisions to Council.
The City Manager has failed to keep Council fully advised as
to the financial condition and future needs of the City.
The City Manager has failed to direct and supervise the
administration of the Finance department of the City. This
failure has resulted in failure to pay tax bills when due,
computation errors in budget summaries and confusion in the
operation of the Finance department.
The city Manager has failed to direct and supervise the
administration of the golf course resulting in two consecutive
years of losses, lay-off of employees, and the inability of
the City to make payment of debts when due.
Attached as Exhibit "A" to this memorandum is a list of more
specific allegations in support of the above-mentioned instances of
incompetence or neglect of duty by the City Manager, Robert S.
McClary.
Accordingly, City Manager, Robert S. McClary, should be immediately
suspended, with pay. A formal, independent, investigation with
regard to the above-referenced allegations should be conducted; and
a due process hearing should be set for the purpose of allowing Mr.
McClary to respond to these allegations.

In 1992 neither the budget summary nor the final millage
resolution were computed properly, which resulted in an error
of $97,274.00.
Failure to pay tax bills on time cost the City Taxpayers an
additional 25% for penalties and advertising.
Changed the line item numbering system to a non standard
system causing untold time for the new Finance Director to be
able to generate operating statements.
Computer glitches and account coding errors unresolved since
implementation of the new accounting system in February 1992.
Deterioration of internal controls due to changes in
processing of data input and computerized accounting system.
Inadequate cross training of staff in the use of the new
system hardware.
Lack of knowledge of the accounting system by the Assistant
Finance Director.
Excessive time spent on purchasing, risk management, and Golf
Course operations by the assistant director, with only minimal
time devoted to Finance Department duties.
Insufficient management review and approval of transaction
recording resulting in inability to reconcile bank statements
or prepare annual financial statement, W-2's and quarterly tax
reports.
City Manager recommended 13% and 10% salary increases for the
Finance Director and his assistant, irrespective of the
department's poor performance.
When the Golf Course bonds were refinanced last year the
October principal amount of $40,000 was skipped to bolster the
cash flow problems. The true loss of the golf course last
year was $146,000 rather than the $106,000 reported to the
City Council. The City Council was never told this was part
of the refinancing plan.
Budget for golf course was unrealistic. Expenditures budgeted
were more than revenues projected.
Budget planned to spend excessive amounts of reserves.
Budget revision presented to council was prepared as required
by Finance. However, the City Manager made no recommendations
to shift any projects to bring spending more in line with the
projected revenues.

On July 14th, Council passed a budget revision. Both the Vice
Mayor Oberbeckand I asked to have some of the fat cut out by
the July 28th meeting. At the July 28th meeting the City
Manager did not recall the -conversation, but said he would
review the tape.
on October 27, 1992, A1 Vilardi and I met with the Finance
Director and Assistant Director to discuss accounting methods
by the City. We had heard a rumor that the golf course was
losing money. We asked if the course was ahead, behind or
staying even. Mike stated that the course was behind and when
we asked how much, Larry stated about $60,000.00. Mike
corrected him and said it was $30,000.00. After a brief
argument, Larry agreed with Mike that it was approximately,
$30,000.00. A week later at the November 4th meeting, a
$30,000.00 loss was reported. This was the first public
acknowledgement that the course was in trouble. We later
heard it was $106,000.00.
In spite of golf course losses, Mr. McClary recommended a
survey of the cost to purchase additional land for another
nine or eighteen golf holes. This was recommended by Mr.
McClary at the same meeting the losses at the golf course were
made public.
The golf course manager spent money without regard for the
budget last year with the City Manager's approval even though
the revenues were insufficient.
At the April 7th meeting, I questioned the revenues being
behind and on April the 27th, Mr. McClary sent me an extensive
memo agreeing with my concerns. Then, on May 13th, he met
with some of the membership of the golf course to show them
how he could modify the clubhouse plans and expand it for
perhaps $150,000.00.
Mr. McClary's April 27th memo was full of excuses as to why we
were in trouble but did not outline any plans to fix some of
the problems. He did suggest that we should revisit the 1991
golf course evaluation when budgeting fiscal 1994. I brought
this same report to his attention at the November 4th meeting
and he should have been paying attention to it all along.
A contract was approved by city Council for $2,500.00 worth of
work to be performed by Mr. Mosby. To date, over $4,200.00
worth of payments have been made under this contract. Council
approval of the excess payments have never been obtain.

Dear Mayor Powell:
It is my belief that anyone elected to the City Council has
a moral obligation to make the Council-Manager plan work
because it was chosen by the voters and should continue to
be supported until the voters choose otherwise.
For the five years I have been a resident of Sebastian,
there has been a continuous attempt to discredit the
Council-Manager form of government. (too often, the City
Manager also.}
I think it is time to stand up to be counted and so I say,
that if you do not want to support the Council-Manager form
of government, you should resign!
The guilty ones know who they are. If their Tesignations
are not submitted on or before the second council meeting
for the month of August, I ~ill begin circulating recall
petitions as soon as it is legally proper in early
September
I have enough promised support to assure getting this on
the ballot and hopefully will see its passage.

Re:
Review of Mutual Aid and Voluntary Cooperation
Agreement and Review of Communications Services
Agreement
Dear Chief Petty:
Please be advised that I have finished my review of the
proposed Mutual Aid and Voluntary Cooperation Agreement. The text
of the agreement seems perfectly adequate and covers both
"operational assistance" requests and "voluntary investigative
cooperation" agreements as those terms are defined by Section
23.1225, Fla. Stat. (1991).
The "powers, privileges, immunities and costs" section seems
to be drawn straight from Section 23.127, Fla. Stat. (1991) and is
therefore a lawful expansion of your officer's Jurisdictional reach
under the terms of the agreement.
I would point out that ~here appears to be a typographical
error in Section 5. The first sentence of sub-paragraph (A) reads
"Members of the CITY OF SEBASTIAN~]LF2~J~_~ DEPARTMENT...". This
sentence should read "Members of the CITY OF SEBASTIAN ~
DEPARTMENT...".
Also, in Section 5, paragraph (D), the second sentence reads
"... and shall defray the actual travel maintenance expenses..."
Pursuant to Section 23.127(2) Fla. Stat. (1991) the sentence should
read "...and shall defray the actual travel and maintenance
expenses...". The conjunctive is necessary to give the proper

Chief ~arle Petty
Re: City of Sebastian
June 9, 1993 ·
meaning to those expenses which would be the responsibality' of the
agency furnishing aid pursuant to the agreement. '
Section 6 and 7 concerning the indemnification and liability
insurance provisions seem standard in that they require each agency
to bear liability for the acts and.omissions of its own employees
while rendering aid under this agreement. The City and Police
Department should be aware that the one side effect of the Mutual
A%d Agreement is to expose the City to additional instances of
c~vil liability because a police officer's Jurisdiction will be
expanded under the terms of the agreement. The police dep~rtment ·
administration ~hould acquaint themselves with the policies and
procedures of the Indian River County Sheriff's Department to make
sure that their policy on use of force on fleeing felons, high ·
speed chases, execution of search warrants and other high risk
activities are consistent with the City's policy on those
activities.
The risk for the city is that its officers will be requested
to assist Indian River County deputies in an operation and during
the course of the investigation be requested to provide assistance
in the apprehension of a fleeing felon, high speed chase, execution
of search warrant, etc. if the requesting agency has a more
aggressive policy in these areas than the city of sebastian, the
chances of a civil claim being made against the City as a result
of the acts or omissions of one of its employees is thereby
increased.
If the Indian River Sheriff's Office policies regarding these
high risk activities is similar to or more conservative than the
City of.S~bastian's policy then there would be no increase risk of
civ~l l~tlgation from providing assistance in those circumstances.
It is my opinion that on the balance, it is in the City's best
interest to enter into the Mutual Aid.and Voluntary Cooperation
Agreement since it will enable the Cxty to tap the additional
manpower and investigative resources of a larger agency and will
also allow the City to pursue criminal investigations that involve
crimes or activity taking place in unincorporated areas of Indian
River County.
Finally, I would point out that this agreement may be
considered a mutual aid arrangement as defined by Section 252.40(1)
Fla. Stat. (1991). In order to comply with the provisions of that
Section, a copy of the Mutual Aid Agreement should be sent to the

I The agreement certainly enhances the City's ability to provide
emergency services to its citizens and this enhancement comes at
I no direct additional cost to the City. It is my understanding that

Re **
Review of Mutual Aid and Voluntary Cooperation
Agreement and Review of Communications Services
Agreement
Dear Chief Petty:
Please be advised that I have finished my review of the
proposed Mutual Aid and Voluntary Cooperation Agreement. The text
of the agreement seems perfectly adequate and covers both
"operational assistance" requests and "voluntary investigative
cooperation" agreements as those terms are defined by Section
23.1225, Fla. Stat. (1991).
The "powers, privileges, immunities and costs" section seems
to be drawn straight from Section 23.127, Fla. Stat. (1991) and is
therefore a lawful expansion of your officer's Jurisdictional reach
under the terms of the agreement.
I would point out that there appears to be a typographical
error in Section 5. The first sentence of sub-paragraph (A) reads
"Members of the CITY OF SEBASTIAN ~ DEPARTMENT...". This
sentence should read "Members of the CITY OF SEBASTIAN POLICB
DEPARTMENT...".
Also, in Section 5, paragraph (D), the second sentence reads
"... and shall defray the actual travel maintenance expenses..."
Pursuant to Section 23.127 (2) Fla. Stat. (1991) the sentence should
read "...and shall defray the actual travel and maintenance
expenses...". The conjunctive is necessary to give the proper
Chief Earle Petty
Re: City of Sebastian
June 9, 1993
Page 2
meaning to those expenses which would be the responsibility of the
agency furnishing aid pursuant to the agreement.
Section 6 and 7 concerning the indemnification and liability
insurance provisions seem standard in that they require each agency
to bear liability for the acts and.omissions of its own employees
while rendering aid under this agreement. The City and Police
Department should be aware that the one side effect of ~he Mutual
Aid Agreement is to expose the City to additional instances of
civil liability because a police officer's jurisdiction will be
expanded under the terms of the agreement. The police department
administration should acquaint themselves with the policies and
procedures of the Indian River County Sheriff's Department to make
sure that their policy on use of force on fleeing felons, high
speed chases, execution of search warrants and other high risk
activities are consistent with the City's policy on those
activities.
The risk for the City is that its officers will
be
requested
to assist Indian River County deputies in an operation and during
the course of the investigation be requested to provide assistance
in the apprehension of a fleeing felon, high speed chase, execution
of search warrant, etc. If the requesting agency has a more
aggressive policy in these areas than the City of Sebastian, the
chances of a civil claim being made against the City as a result
of the acts or omissions of one of its employees is thereby
increased.
If the Indian River Sheriff's Office policies regarding these
high risk activities is similar to or more conservative than the
City of Sebastian's policy then there would be no increase risk of
civil litigation from providing assistance in those circumstances.
It is my opinion that on the balance, it is in the City's best
interest to enter into the Mutual Aid and Voluntary Cooperation
Agreement since it will enable the City to tap the additional
manpower and investigative resources of a larger agency and will
also allow the City to pursue criminal investigations that involve
crimes or activity taking place in unincorporated areas of Indian
River County.
Finally, I would point out that this agreement may be
considered a mutual aid arrangement as defined by Section 252.40(1)
Fla. Stat. (1991). In order to comply with the provisions of that
Section, a copy of the Mutual Aid Agreement should be sent to the

Other than th;s typographical,. I find no reason not to become

The agreement certainly,e~hances the City's abili=y to provide

no direct additional cost to the City. It ~s my understanding that I

SUMMARY STATEMENT
The attached Defensive Driving Enrollment Agreement was written
with the joint cooperation of Indian River County and the City of
Sebastian. The city needs to provide its employees, who drive City
vehicles, with training in order to protect both its employees and
its financial assets. Employees need training to improve and
update their driving skills. The City needs to protect its
financial assets by insuring that all employees who drive City
vehicles have training, so that in the event of a lawsuit, the City
can show it provided adequate training and can possibly protect
itself from a major lawsuit.
The County has a trained defensive driving instructor, Roger Moore,
who is certified by the National Safety Council, through the
Flordia Treasure Coast Safety Council. The County is willing to
provide the employees of the City with training at a minimal cost
of $10.00 per employee. The training, which is generally conducted
once a month in Vero Beach for four (4) hours, is available first
to County employees. If there is any space left, (which there
generally is), the City may enroll its employees. Any volunteer or
paid employee of the City of Sebastian who drives a City-owned
vehicle is eligible to participate, provided the Department Head
approves and authorizes the expenditure of $10.00 per employee.

SUMMARy STATEMENT
This history and backup are provided to furnish you with
sufficient knowledge to consider Mr. Gore's request.
The City Council by adoption of Ordinance No. O-89-15, approved
administrative procedures for the Police pension fund.
Original two year appointments to the Board of Trustees were made
in October of 1989. Please refer to the member list.
We have received a letter from Mr. Gore requesting to appoint a
new member to replace Larry Napier who resigned from his position
with the City of Sebastian. Chief Petty has posed the question
whether Mr. Napier, by his resignation from the City, has
actually resigned from his board position. The requirements for
that position are only that the member be ~legal resident of th_~e
city and be appointed by City Council. If Mr. Napier remains a
resent of Sebastian, is he still a member of the board?
The question also arose that, if this position is considered
vacant at this time and filled by a new member, could that new
member be appointed to serve out the remaining two months of the
term and an additional two year term. This question will need to
be addressed by the City Attorney.
RECOI~ENDED ~CTION
Review the request and act accordingly.

Dear Mr. McCleary,
Since the city has recently terminated Mr. Napier in his position
with the finance department, the Police Pension Board is presently
without a treasurer. Please regard this as a request to submit the
name of another individual to the city counsel who can serve as
treasurer on behalf of the Board. We would appreciate it if a
person with similar experience as Mr. Napier could be appointed
from within the ranks of the city finance department. Thank you.
Sincerely,

SUMMARY STATEMENT
I have received several phone calls from concerned citizens
regarding no left turn signs that have been placed along
Laconia Street prohibiting left turns at CR 512. One resident
felt this was a violation of his rights as a resident of the
City of Sebastian. I explained, the reasons why the signs
were posted at this time. Similarly, I would like to provide
you with the reasons that were given to the resident, as
follows:
1. During several meetings with Indian River County Public
Works Director Jim Davis, it was agreed that a street
connection would be allowed onto CR 512 at the intersection
of Laconia with the following stipulations.
A. That only a right in and right out would be provided.
B. That a median crossover had not been designed for this
intersection because of the distance to the Roseland
Road intersection.
C. Roseland Road extension would eventually be constructed
to connect to Laconia.
D. Once the Roseland Road extension is constructed the
Connection at Laconia street would be eliminated and
Laconia would then be terminated by a cul-de-sac.
2. Following that meeting staff including Chief Petty had
agreed that in the best interest of safety, to post the no
left turn prior to the construction of CR 512 road widening
project. It was staff's intention to ensure the public
safety by allowing the residents time to adjust to the
change.
3. The resident that I had spoke with was unaware that there
was not to be a median crossover at Laconia Street. I
had learned from the U.S. #1 median project, that merely
announcing the improvements at Public Hearings or having
newspaper articles identify the project, residents along
U.S. #1 did not inquire to the nature of the improvements
until after construction had begun. At that point, their
ability to remedy the modifications were rather limited.
It is my intention that, prior to construction, the
residents have time to react to the proposed improvements
along CR 512. I explained to the resident that if this was
a concern, he still had an opportunity in which he could
voice his opinion to both City Council and County
Commissioners to consider a change.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
No action required for information purposes only.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
City Hall was built in 1927 and the original windows are still in service.
The existing windows have deteriorated to the point that repairs are not
practical from both a cost and energy efficient standpoint. With this in
mind, window specifications have been developed for the replacement of all
windows in this building. As an option, staff has developed
specifications for hurricane shutters to be installed.
These specifications were developed with the intent of maintaining the
original architectural appearance of this unique building, and at the same
time providing for improved energy efficiency.
Staff has provided two options within the specifications. Option A calls
for single-hung windows to replace all existing double-hung windows and
fixed windows to replace all the small hinged-windows. As an alternative,
Op_~ion ~provides o~e_-s~n~qle-hung window i_r~ry room or work area, wi_t_th
the remaining windows to be fix~d~'~

City Hall Windows and Storm Covers
Attached is a revised draft of the bid specifications for
window replacement and storm covers in City Hall.
I have spoken with a representative from EFCO Corp., a window
manufacturer, regarding a number of questions which you
asked.
The muntins on the windows would not be removeable for
cleaning. They are built as part of the frame itself and
would add to the strength of the window. Removeable muntins
are rare in commercial grade windows, very expensive, and
not recommended by this manufacturer.
Mr. Votapka asked if the muntins could not be applied between
thermal windows. This is possible. However, EFCO does not
see a great energy savings by the use of thermal windows in
our southern climate. They would recommend tinted windows
over double glass. Also, muntins between thermal windows are
very flat and will not duplicate the appearance of the
original windows.
The question of appearance regarding fixed windows vs. single
hung windows was also raised. It is possible to duplicate
the appearance of the single-hung windows with a fixed
window. However, the window representative noted that we
must specify this request, as it will require special effort
on the part of the manufacturer to match the site lines of
the single-hung windows.

Resolution R-92-33
Dear Henry:
At its regular meeting of July 22, 1992, the City Council adopted
Resolution R-92-33 which authorized the operation of a mulching and
burning facility on your land known as San Sebastian Springs West.
Your application was submitted with a site plan identifying the
specific area that would be utilized for this operation. After
reports of a fire within your facility, I conducted an on-site
inspection regarding this property to determine compliance of the
conditions set forth by City Council.
My inspection reveals that you are stock piling material~ in excess
of the designated area which constitutes a violation of the
conditions of Resolution R-92-33. Pursuant to our conversation
last week regarding this matter, you had indicated that you were
going to pursue a revised site plan and present this to the City
Council for their approval. Enclosed is a special use permit
application which will have to be filled out and the $150.00 fee be
paid in order to process your request. Please submit this
information prior to June 17, 1993 in order to place this matter on
the June 23rd City Council meeting. The City Council meeting of
June 23rd will only set the public hearing for the actual review
and approval of your proposed amendment to the special use permit.
Your anticipated cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Special Use Permit
Dear Dr. Fischer:
On June 14, 1993, I received your application and payment of fee
for your request to amend your special use permit pursuant to my
letter dated June 11, 1993. I received the following documents:
1. Special Use Permit Application,
e
A letter dated June 24, 1993 from Henry A. Fischer identifying
the amended area,
A copy of your Preliminary Subdivision for San Sebastian
Springs West with a highlighted area identifying the proposed
new area for your facility.
I will be placing this item on the City Council's agenda of August
11, 1993, only to set the required public hearing oil September 8,
1993, for your special use permit.
i have previously been in contact with Hank in regards to your
application and requested additional information and data the City
Council would need in reviewing your proposed amendment.
I would request a site plan (to scale) having the following
information;
Legal description and site data identifying the specific
area that will be utilized in the operation. Dimensions
and specific coordinates shall, be utilized from the land
surveyor's PCM's.
In order for field verification, proper monumentation
shall be installed within, line site of each other, along
the perimeter of the proposed site.
The site plan should indicate the access road via County
Road 512.
Henry A. Fischer

Identify the specific location for the mulching machine,
air curtain incinerator and any other apparatus or
equipment that will be utilized in this operation.
Identify the stockpile area of the raw material.
Identify any areas for processed materials such as mulch
and fire wood.
The City Council will need to know the maximum stockpile area that
you plan to keep on site for the raw materials. This should be
identified on how much land area and volume (cubic yards or other
acceptable measure) that would be kept on site. You should also
identify the amount of raw materials that call be processed
(mulching and air curtain incinerator) in one day. With this
information, the City Council could determine how long it would
take to process all the materials that you may have stockpiled on
the property.
Since you have been in business for some time now, it Would be
helpful to identify the amount of raw materials that you currently
have on your property, the amount of raw materials that you have
received, and how much processed materials you have sold.
If .the City Council is inclined to require a performance bond to
ensure compliance of its requirements, staff will need information
regarding the approximate cost that it would take to remove all of
the stockpile and process materials on site. After determining the
amount of stockpile materials in cubic yards or other acceptable
measures, you will need to provide costs to remove the debris away
to a proper disposal facility. This should also include the cost
of disposing the material at a proper landfill site.
Staff has concerns with the amount of existing stockpile area that
you do have and your reasoning for the need for the amount of area
you are requesting. I believe with the above information and an
outline of your marketing strategy for this operation will be
essential for City Council to review your request.
Staff will need the above reference information by no later than
August 31, 1993 in order to forward this to the City Council in
their agenda packet.

Re; Solid Waa~e Dis~o~ai Dist'ric=
Dear Mr. McClary:
In 1987 all of the municipalities in Indian River County joined with the
Board of County Commissioners in creating the Solid Waste Disposal District
(SWDD), which is a dependent special district of the County created to
dispose of the solid waste generated within the District's boundaries. The
District is funded from assessments, service charges, and other fees and
i~sued over $8,000,000 in revenue bonds to pay for the capital expense of the
District. Fees from land clearing debris are a substantial revenue source
for the payment of the bonded debt.
As a means of controlling the manner of disposal of waste in the county and
of protecting the revenue to repay the bonds, the ordinance creating the
District made it a requirement that all solid waste generated by assessable
property within the District or disposed of in the District be disposed of
through the SWDD. Land clearing debris is solid waste.
Since the City of Sebastian is a member of the District, the actions of the
City should be consistent with the requirements of the District, i.e., the
City Council should take no steps to dispose of solid waste generated within
the city other than through the SWDD. With this in mind and understanding
that an application has been. ma~e by a private per,on who wishes to burn or
mulch land-clearing debris without sanction by the SWDD, the City may wish to
withhold approval of the operation until the applicant has first obtained a
SWDD permit.
Sincerely,
CPV/lk

If any section, subsection, paragraph, clause, sentence, phrase
or portion of this article if for any reason hem invalid, un]awful
or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such
portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent
provision and such ho]ding shall not affect the validity of the

DIVISION 2. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT*
Sec. 13-15.21. Creation; composition; governing body.
Pursuant to the authority granted by section 125.01(5)a, Flor-
ida Statutes, there is hereby created a dependent special district
to be called the solid waste disposal district ('SWDD" or "dis-
trict") for the purpose of providing an efficient and acceptable
means funded in an equitable manner for the disposal of solid
waste generated by the residents of the district or county. The
district shah be composed of the entire unincorporated area of
Indian River County and those municipalities in Indian River
County which voluntarily .join the district through approval of
their governing body pursuant to law. The governing body of the
district shall be the board of county commissioners. (Ord. No.
87-67, § 1, 12-22-87)
Sec. 13-15.22. Authority for funding of district.
The district shah be authorized to operate from funds derived
from special assessments levied against improved real property
("assessable property") within the district and service charges
and fees, pursuant to the procedures of this division and general
law. (Ord. No. 87-67, § 2, 12-22.87)
*Editor's note--Ordinance No. 87-67, adopted Dec. 22, 1987, did not specifi-
cally amend this Code; hence, inclusion of §§ 1-15 as §§ 13-15.21-13-15.35
comprising a new Div. 2 of Art. II, was at the discretion of the editor.

Sec. 13-15.23. Statement of district intent and requirements.
(ai It is the intent of the district and a requirement of this
division that all solid waste generated by assessable property
within the district, or disposed of in the district, be disposed of
through the SWDD, and that all assessable property within the
SWDD be charged an annual special assessment (the "disposal
charge") to help pay for the disposal costs.
Co) It is found that these requirements will promote the health,
safety, and welfare of the citizens of the district by providing
environmentally sound ways of disposing of solid waste, by re-
ducing illegal dumping, and by paying for the service through
the fairest reasonable method. The board finds that having the
solid waste disposal services described in this article available
constitutes a benefit to assessable property, equal to, or in excess
of, the assessment against such property whether the assessable
property actually generates solid wastes or not. (Ord. No. 87-67, §
3, 12-22-87)
Sec. 13-15.24. Powers of district.
The SWDD shall have all powers necessary and incident to
accomplishing the purposes of the district, which powers shall
include the power to adopt "policies and procedures" of the SWDD
by resolution of the board of SWDD commissioners; hire, fire, and
set compensation of employees; lease, rent or buy real and per-
sonal property; issue revenue bonds or other certificates of indebt-
edness; and contract, including the power to contract with mu-
nicipalities within the county which have not joined the SWDD.
(Ord. No. 87-67, § 4, 12-22-87; Ord. No. 89-25, § 1, 9-12-89)
Sec. 13.15.25. Definitions.
For the purpose of this divisio~, the definitions contained in
this section shall apply unless otherwise specifically stated. When
not inconsistent with the context, words used in the present tense
include the future, words in plural numbers include the singular,
and words in the singular number include the plural. The word

ble to such assessable property. Al1 governmental agencies own-
ing property within the district shall pay the appropriate dis-
posal charge. When a tax certificate has not been issued or cannot

Lease/Exchange with Sebastian River'~A~rea
Chamber of Commerce
Our File No.: 93-9706
Dear Robb:
This letter is in furtherance of the discussion we had
approximately a week or so ago concerning working with the
Sebastian River Area Chamber of Commerce in connection with its
desire to relocate its current headquarters to a building
previously used as the Teen Center owned by the City.
In the course of our discussions, I recommended that the
City agree to enter into a long-term lease with the Sebastian River
Area Chamber of Commerce in consideration for the Sebastian River
Area Chamber of Commerce, Inc. reconveying the real property it
currently occupies to the City of Sebastian. In addition, I
recommended that the rent charged by the City to the Sebastian
River Area Chamber of Commerce reflect the improvements of
approximately $50,000.00 which the City of Sebastian would expend
to renovate the Teen Center building, plus a reasonable rate of
return on such expenditure. Once the expenditure has been
recouped, the rent would thereafter be at a nominal rate for so
long as the Sebastian River Area Chamber of Commerce occupies the
Teen Center. Appropriate restrictions would be placed in the lease
for these facilities by the Sebastian River Area Chamber of
Commerce in accordance with its mission.
I would much prefer the City proceed along these lines
to avoid potential for some type of lien or other encumbrance being
placed on City-owned real property. From an economic standpoint
to the City of Sebastian, the City would be in no worse position
making the improvements itself if it would receive a reasonable
rate of return on its investment in the form of rent than if the

Mr. Richard Gitiles ·
Sebastian Area River Chamber of Commerce ~
Sebastian, Florida 32
Via Pax 388-087~
Dear Richard: I
This is to confirm our recent meeting to discuss the possible
lease of the 1959 City Hall located at the southeast corner of ·
the intersection of US #1 and Main Street to the Sebastian Area
River Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber's existing property is located near the northeast
corner of the intersection of US #1 and Main Street. This
property was deeded by the City to the Chamber on February 14,
1978. The property transfer was pursuant to an agreement between
the City and the Chamber, also dated February 14, 1978. A copy
of the special warranty deed and contract is attached for your
information.
The City and the Chamber are now proposing to enter into an
indefinite term lease agreement whereby the City would lease to
the Chamber the 1959 City Hall Building. In consideration of the
lease, the Chamber would deed to the City the existing property.
The elements of the lease would include the following:
(1) Term - The lease would be an indefinite term lease and
defined in the same terms as the 1978 deed e.g. reverts
to City as Chamber of Commerce ceases to exist or after
a period of inactivity for six months (see paragraph 3
of 1978 contract).
(2) The Chamber would assume payment of any and all taxes
(see paragraph (2) (b) (of 1978 Agreement).
(3) To occupy the 1959 City Hall Building within 1 year and
to vacate the existing building within I year.
Further, the Chamber would submit drawings for any
renovations within six months.

(4) Use of building - To. use the building as a "welcome
center" to promote tourism, provide public information
to newcomers, and to allow historical displays
depicting the history of our community.
(5) Insurance - The Chamber would insure the premises with
adequate fire and extended coverage including liability
insurance (paragraph (2) (d) of 1978 Agreement). The
insurance limits would need to be reviewed and'adjusted
from time to time.
(6) The Chamber would be required to maintain the building
in clean condition and good repair and to maintain the
water or sewer systems associated with the building
(paragraph (2) (e) of 1978 Agreement).
(7) Property Liens - The Chamber would not be permitted to
encumber the building or property (paragraph (4) of
1978 Agreement).
(8) Parking - The City would provide adequate off street
parking using the standards of the City Land
Development Code.
(9) The only remaining question at this time is that of
improvements to the premises how they would be paid
for. I also must add a disclaimer that in the
agreement reached between the Chamber and I is subject
to review and ratification by the Sebastian City
Council. i shall appreciate your response at your
first convenience.

SUMMARy STATEMENT
The City of Sebastian has received a request from the Sebastian
River Area Chamber of Commerce for use of the Yacht Club and
Riverview park on Friday, December 3, 1993 for an expanded
version of the annual "Santa's Sail In". They are planning a
lighted flotilla parade on the river to escort "Santa" to the
Yacht Club. From there he will be escorted to the park pavilion
where he will "hold court". Their plans include food, beverage/
music, and perhaps a chowder cook off.
They are requesting approval of an extensive plan for lighting
and decorations to be placed in the park and possibly left up
until after the Holiday Season. They would supply the
decorations. They are inquiring about the possibility of the City
public works crew placing lights in the park or gaining
permission to do it themselves.
They also indicated by phone that they are requesting a waiver of
security deposit and rental fees for the Yacht Club and Riverview
Park.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to approve/disapprove the above requests.

Dear Council Members:
Re:
Santa's Sail-In
December 3, 1993. Friday
The Sebastian River Area Chamber of Commerce would like to reserve the Sebastian
Yacht Club and Riverview Park for the afternoon and evening of December 3, 1993, for
an expanded version of our annual Santa's Sail-In.
We expect Santa Clause to arrive at approximately 6:00 RM. that day. We'd like to
have a lighted flotilla parade to escort him to the Yacht Club. From them he will be
escorted to the pavilion at the Park, where he will 'hold court" to greet children, hear
their Holiday wishes and dispense candy canes or other such trinkets. Our plans
include food, beverage and craft booths, and perhaps a chowder cook-off, as well as
music and appropriate seasonal entertainment.
Our plans are not developed to the point of being able to identify specifics at this point;
we need to know we have the City's approval before progressing. Additionally, we
need to know what, if any charges, would be levied for this occasion; and, we'd also
need to know if the City can and will work with us on a plan to include extensive
lighting and decoration in the Park for this event, and whether such outdoor displays
could be left up to grace the area until after the Holiday Season. We are not asking
the City for such decorations, but rather for permission to put them up and leave them
for an extended period.

PHONE (407) 589-5969
A second part of the inquiry/request pertains to having the park lighted to
accommodate an evening event such as this. Does the City have that capability? If
so, will you work with us in that regard? If not, can we gain permission to do it
ourselves?
We are very excited about expanding Santa's appearance! It has always been a
happy and popular event for this community and we'd like to see it expanded to the
Park with ample opportunity for the whole family to participate and enjoy the evening!
We realize this kind of event will require the support and assistance of the City, and
hope and trust you'll be able to grant us the permission required.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
