A lengthy City Council discussion followed. The City

Buddy Betschart, 2055 Skyline Drive, Veto Beach,
Florida, upon being sworn in by the City Attorney,
responded to City Council concerns about GDU's stance
on mandatory hook-up, based upon a 1957 opinion from
the previous City Attorney, Thomas Palmer.
A lengthy discussion, primarily touching on the THM
issue, mandatory connection requirements, utility
system expansion, and debt service followed.
City Attorney advised City Council that if the City
Council denied this request it would go to the court
system, and said before the city considers reducing
or eliminating its franchise fees or utility taxes it
needs to first look at any pledges made for some of
the city's revenue bonds.
TAPE II - SIDE II (9:42 p.m.)
Discussion continued on reduction of rates by

O__NTHEACQUISITION OF WaTER~SEW~ ~AcILiTIES
The Finance Director explained her reasons for
requesting that this special meeting be called,
referred to concerns expressed in an August 18, 1993
memo from the City Engineer to the City Clerk/Acting
City Manager regarding General Development Utilities'
February request for vacation of right-of-way to gain
access to GDU lift stations on properties conveyed to
the City of Sebastian by General Development
Corporation, stated that in light of the fact that
all negotiation documents are open it might be wise
for Council to decide if it wished to maintain status
quo, abandon negotiations on the public record or if
it wants to seek one last time to negotiate and if
so, to appoint an in-house committee composed of the
City Clerk/Acting City Manager, Mayor Powell, the
Finance Director and Utilities Director and
recommended that the city's consultants be notified.
The City Attorney recommended that this not be called
a committee, advised that legal counsel be used and
that the group use the city's consultants.
The Finance Director said it had been her intention
to include the City Attorney, said she did not imply
termination of contractual services and recommended
that all consultants should be used on an as needs
basis.
Mayor Powell inquired whether there could be an
alternate to his position, and the Finance Director
said the alternate position could be the Vice Mayor
if no information is exchanged.
The Finance Director responded to Mrs. Corum's
concerns about the meeting held on August 19, 1993 at
the City Attorney's office attended by staff members,
Mayor Powell and GDU representatives regarding GDU
and explained what took place at the meeting.
Mrs. Damp said she was not all that pleased with
Rachlin & Cohen or Lisa Layne, said she had called
Mr. Hartman of Hartman & Associates, who informed
her that Lisa Layne had worked for GDU and that
negotiations have been going on all along, and
inquired why Mr. Hartman is not a member of the
proposed committee and is being ignored at this time.
Special City Council Meeting
August 20, 1993
Page Three
She suggested that Mr. Hartman, who was in
attendance, be allowed to address City Council.
The City Attorney said if City Council decides to
reopen negotiations, he doesn't recommend that
negotiations be held in the public. He recommended
if City Council decides to continue negotiations, it
utilize the benefit of Mr. Hartman's and Mr. Cloud's
knowledge.
The Finance Director said she had successfully
negotiated the acquisition of eleven utilities in
Brevard County.
MOTION by Oberbeck/Corum
I would move to authorize reopening negotiations
with GDU for the acquisition of their utility
systems in the City of Sebastian.

by Mrs. Swichkow, I believe it was made up of the
Mayor, the City Attorney, our Finance Director, and
our Acting City Manager, and Mr. Votapka, our
Utilities Engineer".
He specified in regard to consultants "if you need
them feel free to use them but to keep the Council
advised of costs" and included "special legal
counsel".

mistatement in the GDU rate application, whereby they
may have included as capital, three lift stations
that they do not own. He said he had contacted
Attorney Melson and informed him that he would bring
this to City Council tonight, said his recommendation
is that City Council should decide if it had all the
facts to consider the rate increase, and that due to
the fact that negotiations have been reopened for
acquisition, it may not be proper for City Council to
deliberate on the rate increase and suggested a
hearing officer be utilized.
TAPE I - SiDE II (7:51 p.m.)
The Finance Director clarified that Lisa Layne, of
Rachlin & Cohen, has consulted on rate cases for GDU

used by the city as consultants for the GDU rate
increase request.

decided to address this matter later in the meeting.

said that he had begun to review the lengthy report
and that there are slight differences.

Mr. Freeland referred to a previous staff transmittal
stating that the property is worth 3.75 million and
he suggested the city consider taking over the 1.3
million mortgage, selling off a portion of the
land, creating habitat and building the road. It was
the consensus of City Council to direct staff to
investigate the property value.

The Director of Community Development stated that no
zoning district in the city permits a mulching
facility. He said if City Council wants to
incorporate this type of use in Industrial zoning
that can be done which would eliminate need for
a special use permit in this case. The City Attorney
advised that if mulching were made a permittable use
and the operation of the facility is considered
improvement to the property, it may be a violation of
the city's agreement with the Indian River County
Solid Waste District.
MOTION by Oberbeck/Corum
i would move that we set the public hearing for
Mr. Gilliam's special use permit for September 22,
1993.
Mrs. Corum inquired why there is no material to
review, and the City Attorney responded that the
setting of the public hearing is a formality and that
the merits of the application will be addressed at
that time.
Damian Gilliams, 713 Layport Drive said there are two
separate deeds to the property. The City Attorney
said if the applicant wants to amend its application
it should do so for prior to the hearing. Mr.
Gilliams said an as-built survey will be presented
top staff prior to hearing.

B. Vice-Mayor Frank Qberbeck
Mr. Oberbeck requested an update on the problem that
has developed relative to the "no left turn" onto CR
512 adjacent to Sebastian Elementary. The Director
of Community Development/Acting City Manager reported
that the county conducted a review, initially decided
that the procedure is proper and said they will get
back with him regarding further concerns. Mr.
Oberbeck said problems have occurred on the alley on
the south side of CR 512 due to the fact that no left
turn is allowed on CR 512, suggested that the alley
be made one way westbound or that the 20 mph zone be
expanded to allow the left turn.
C. Mrs. Carolyn Corum
Mrs. Corum spoke on the Sembler letter regarding
submittals for special legislative acts and suggested
that the THM problem be addressed by the legislature
to make all THM levels equal. She requested City
Council concurrence on staff looking into whether it
is feasible to make all public water THM levels
equal. The City Attorney said this would not be
considered a "special act", rather this would be
considered general law. He said City Council could
pass a resolution supporting adoption of a new
general law.
City Council concurred with directing staff to draft
a resolution to support new general law. The
Utilities Director said federal laws will soon
require better THM controls. The Utilities Director
was directed to draft the resolution.
Mrs. Corum commented on the proposed commercial
growth in Veto Beach and said she hoped developers
would use vision and develop in the Sebastian area.

Special meeting agenda to set a public hearing. City
Council concurred.
The City Attorney reported on the proposed
acquisition of the Julian property and noted existing
liens on the property. The Director of Community
Development/Acting City Manager handed out addLtlonal
data on the property.
The Finance Director listed potential funding
sources.
Following further discussion, it was the consensus of
City Council to direct staff to proceed to review the
possibility of the acquisition of the Julian
property.
It was the consensus of City Council for the Director
of Community Development to sign a confidentiality
agreement with First Union National Bank to review
Julian property records.

The City Attorney reiterated his recommendation that
City Council not deliberate on the rate increase
tonight based on the fact that the city may own the
GDU lift stations, thus making the application
incomplete, recommended that City Council make a
determination that a conflict of interest exists due
to the current negotiation for the GDU facility, and
suggested that the rate increase request be heard by
a hearing officer.

September 1, 1993

Richard Melson, Hopping, Boyd, Green and Sams,
representing General Development Utilities, stated
that GDU disagrees with the City Attorney's
recommendation to consider the GDU rate application
incomplete, stated it is GDU's position that GDU owns
the lift stations and not the city, questioned what
impact the ownership of the lift stations would have
on the rates application, and presented an affidavit
from Debbie Swayne. The City Attorney advised that
City Council determine that additional evidence can
be submitted and then take the position of accepting
evidence from anyone.
TAPE I - SIDE II (7:50 p.m.)
Mr. Melson said the affidavit is an analysis of the
difference that would occur if the lift stations were
not included in the rate application. He asked that
the City Council review this material and make a
decision on rates by the September 17, 1993 deadline.
A1 Vilardi, 445 Georgia Boulevard, Sebastian,
objected to using a hearing officer, and suggested
the rate deliberation be postponed for thirty days
while acquisition negotiations are conducted.
The City Attorney inquired whether GDU would concur
with postponing rate deliberation for thirty days.
Mr. Melson said it is not appropriate for GDU to
concur with that recommendation at this time,
however, it could be looked at subsequent to the 180
hearing, based on how the hearing goes.
Charles Fancher, President, General Development
Utilities, through Attorney Richard Melson, then
concurred with the thirty day extension to October 1,
1993.
It was the consensus of City Council not to take any
further action on this item or item 10 A at this
time.

The Airport Manager said it was appropriate for Mr.
Price to address City Council at this time.
Clay Price, 12430 Roseland Road, Sebastian, said he
would be leasing as an individual to Skydive
Sebastian, Inc., and that the primary reason that he
is the lessor is for banking purposes only. He went
on to address concerns regarding use of the facility
and the establishment of his lease. He said
improvements beyond those listed in Schedule A would
have to be further approved by City Council. He
exhibited the site plan for the proposed lease site.
Mr. Price asked that a renewal option be included in
the proposed lease.
City Council discussion followed.
The City Attorney said any sub-leases would have to
be approved by City Council, said this proposed lease
is more comprehensive than existing leases and will
parallel future leases.
The Airport Manager said a lease renewal is present
in all existing leases and said Council should
determine whether it wants to continue that
provision.
TAPE II - SIDE I (8:55 p.m.)
said skydiving is an uninsurable act and recommended
that a hold harmless agreement be expanded for all
city properties in the vicinity, recommended that
allindividuals utilizing the facility hold the city
harmless and that that language be included in the
lease, and requested clarification as to what type of
activities are intended.
The City Attorney said the extension of hold harmless
can be required in the the sub-lease and certain
language can be added to the lease in paragraph 15
"Indemnification" (..."and the use of leased premises
by tenants, agents, employees, etc.")

SUMMARY STATEMY.2qT
An application for vacation of a rear easement was received from
Elizabeth Kocher on August 19, 1993 for Lot 11, Block 299, Unit
11, Sebastian Highlands for installation of a pool and enclosure.
The application was inadvertently put aside until August 25, 1993
when the applicant called to check on its status.
As a courtesy to the applicant, i made a decision to contact the
utilities by phone to verify if they had any objections, to
enable us to place this request on the September 8, 1993 regular
meeting agenda, as it should have been. Calls were made and
follow-up faxes were sent to the four utilities.
The City Engineer requested that the vacated area be reduced from
ten feet to five feet and the applicant concurred. No objections
have been received except for a concern by FPL relative to the
proximity of the screen enclosure to power lines. The applicant
has been advised by the Director of Community Development to
advise his contractor to be aware of those concerns. I
contacted Dennis Pagano of FPL today and he informs me he will
inspect the site today and contact me as soon as possible. If
not included in this packet on Friday, his report will be
submitted to you prior to deliberation.~If there is a problem,
we will request that the item be withdrawn.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
If there are no objections, move to adopt Resolution No. R-93-44.

Subject: Abandonment of Easement
Dear Ms. Kocher:
The City of Sebastian is currently processing your request
for an abandonment of easement on your property, Lot 44,
Block 299, Sebastian Highlands Unit 11.
The City Engineer has objected to the abandonment of the
requested 10 feet. However, he has indicated that 5 feet
could be abandoned. After a discussion with Randy Kocher on
August 26, 1993, the request has been amended to 5 feet and
will continue to be processed.
It should also be noted that Florida Power and Light has
concerns regarding the location of your screen enclosure and
pool in reference to the existing power lines. Please advise
your contractor of their concerns. Enclosed is information
from the National Electrical Code regarding this matter. Any
additional questions can be directed to Florida Power & Light
or this department.

SUMMARY STatEMENT
At its regular meeting of July 28, 1993, the City Council scheduled two
public hearings for September 22 and October 13, 1993 for the developers
agreement. Representatives from Sebastian Lakes were to provide bid
documents to the City of Sebastian no later than August 9, 1993 which was
extended to August 20, 1993.
City staff has always been informed that the drainage from the new roadway
pavement would be conveyed to Sebastian Lakes retention areas that have a
current St. Johns permit. Please refer to a memorandum from Dan Eckis on
August 13, 1993 regarding this matter. Since the permit expired, the
engineers for Sebastian Lakes were attempting to modify the drainage system
to require all the retention within the swales located in the right-of-way
which, would require control structures and underdrains. Reviewing Mr.
Eckis's memorandum, you will be able to determine that the City would not
want to accept this type of system on a permanent basis, due to the
maintenance problems in the future.
Page 2
Because representatives of Sebastian Lakes wants this project completed and
to insure proper representation, they have hired another firm, Picerne
Development, in order to resolve this drainage issue. With that in mind,
Sebastian Lakes representatives continued to perform in good faith regarding
the developers agreement and ultimately the construction of Laconia Road.
Therefore, st%fl would recommend that City Council reschedule the two public
hearings to November 10 and November 24, 1993. This should be ample time to
resolve the permitting issues and to finish up any changes in the bid
documents to satisfy the City Engineer's concerns. If we can accomplish the
bidding sooner, we will come back to request the public hearings to be
scheduled earlier.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to reschedule the two public hearings for the developers agreement for ·
Sebastian Lakes P.U.D. to November 10 and November 24, 1993.

RE: Sebastian Lakes record of telephone conversation
John Allen of Allen Engineering called to clarify the stormwater
treatment system that they were proposing for their portion of
Laconia Street. They are proposing a control structure
approximately 6 inches above the bottom of the swale with an
underdrain system for recovery. The control structure would be
located within the Laconia Street right of way.
My concerns, are for future maintenance costs. I was always led
to believe that the stormwater treatment would occur within the
boundary of Sebastian Lakes. We were assured that there was
adequate capacity in the existing system for Laconia Street. The
last thing I had requested was that they verify the flood stage
elevation with respect to Laconia Street to insure that the
system would not back up and flood local streets.
Earlier, during the week, it was brought to my attention, by John
Redmond, Project engineer for Allen Engineering, that the bid
specifications and construction drawings were ready. A minor
modification had been included that would require stormwater
treatment to occur within the right of way as required by St.
John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD.) I inquired with
SJRWMD for the reasons for treatment in the road right of way vs
Sebastian Lakes. Perry Jennings explained that their overall
permit had expired and they were seeking a permit for only the
improvement within the road right of way which is easier to
obtain.
John Allen was concerned about the cost and time delays
associated with an overall drainage permit because the final
configuration is not certain. He indicated that when the project
became developed by either the current owner or their successors,
that the overall system could be designed to treat the stormwater
runoff from Laconia Street. This is a option that could be
handled by a developers agreement.
However, should the property be sold and the new owners are
unaware of this provision, the City may experience difficulty in
obtaining cooperation from the new owners. I suggested, that if
an overall drainage permit was not desirous, at this time, that a
stormwater easement could exist within the Sebastian Lakes
boundary to treat the stormwater runoff from Laconia. With the
stormw~ter easement in place this would put the perspective
buyers on notice that they are required to treat the stormwater
runoff from Laconia. They could then inquire into the exact
written provisions that could be identified in the developers
agreement.
Secondly, with the stormwater treatment area located outside of
the right of way, a control structure would no longer be
necessary. And, there would be no future costs to the City to
remove it.
Thirdly, if the property remains undeveloped for the next ten or
twenty years or longer, then the City would have the expense of
maintenance by either cleaning or replacing the proposed
underdrain system.
Fourthly, the City has always been told that the treatment for
the stormwater runoff from Laconia would be within the Sebastian
Lakes boundary and the stormwater easement would serve this
provision.
John Allen explained that the easement would encumber the
property and reduce its attractiveness and possibly its value
because of the uncertainty of future review agencies. It is
possible that the agencies could perpetually tie up that portion
of the property forever. I explained to John that I would
discuss this with City staff and try to obtain and recommend
direction within the following week.

;UMMARy STATEMENT
Some 500 pages of new federal legislation gives certain cable t.v.
rate and complaint responsibilities back to local government.
This area is new, complex and confusing at best, and incomplete
in the agency rule making powers of the FCC at this date.
However, certain provisions became effective on 9/1/93 and the
City should establish its intent to exercise its regulatory
responsibility and authority.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to authorize the Finance Director to complete all applicable
FCC forms and file same with FCC with the assistance of the City
Attorney.
Also, move to establish a Cable T.V. Committee to study and
recommend certain operating and/or community standards to the
City Council as these FCC requirements continue to develop over
the next year.

FILE RATE REGULATION FORMS
SEPTEMBER I
Rate Regulation -- both federal and local -- begins September 1. h is very important for
local governments to file both the certification form for regulating basic rates, and the
complaint form for FCC regulation of enhanced tiers, on September 1 or as soon
thereafter as possible.
CERTIFICATION - Certifying to regulate basic rates is the only way m provide your
community with the full protection of the new law. Form 328 is attached - do not forget
to send a copy to the cable operator.
FCC COMPLAINT - Along with your certification form, file your complaint with
the FCC (Form 329, attached). This triggers FCC review of thc rates for non-basic tiers I
~- often the most popular tiers. Timing is critical, because refunds for non-basic
overcharges only date back to the date the complaint is filed.
FILE BOTH FORMS 328 AND 329 TOGETHER!
VOLUNTARY RATE RF, CONFIGURATION- Many cable operators may
reconfigure their tiers and rates (form programming aad equipment) just before I
September I *- in theory, to comply with the new rules. The FCC is allowing operators
to do this without notice to subscribers, who will learn of it on their next bill. Be
prepared to advise consumers that regulation will have its impact in several months, at
which time their rates may change again, presumably downward.
NATOA URGES ALL LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO FILE FORMS 328 AND 329 ON
SEPTEMBER 1. FAX A COPY OF THE FORMS TO NATOA AT 202/626-3103.
PLEASE NOTE YOUR SUBSCRIBER BASE ON THE FAX COPY. WE WILL BE
OMPILING A LIST OF THOSE ]URISDICTIONS WHO ARE FILING FORMS.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC 328
FRANCHISING AUTHORITY CERTIFICATION
The r-able Television Consumer Protection and Compe(itK)n
enacted in October lCJ92, chan~es the manner in which cable
television lyKems that am m)~ subjeo~ to effective compelitlon are.
mgula~cL In general, rates for the ~ (the liar ~quired
as a condition of aece.u to all uther video services and containln&
among other Jorvices, ,local broadcast station signals and public,
educational, and public access channels) and associated equipment
will be subject to reKulatlon by local or )~te Ilovemments
('franchising authorities"). Rates for cable programmln8 servlces and
es~,ociated equipment (all services except basic and pay channels) will
be 'subject *to reKulMion by the FCC. Rates for pa'( channels
(chanhels for which t%ere is a specific per-channel ur per-program
charse) ire not tabulated.
Only cable sy~lems that oR not subject to effective competition may
be mlulated. Effective comp~ition means thai (a) fewer than 30
percent of the households in Ihe franchise area lubscrlbe to the cable
service ora cable ayl~m; lb) tho franchise area Is {t) rmrved by al leas!
two unaffillmed multlehennal vicleo prosmmmln8 dlstributor~ each
which ch,'ers comparable video proBmmmlng to al llmt 50 percent of
the households in the franchise ama; and (ii) the number of
households subscrlbln$ to programmln$ services o((emcl by
muhichannel video proBrammln8 dlstrlbuu)rs uther than the largest
mukiehennel video prosrammlnK distributor eXOL'~S 15 percent of
the households in the franchise area; or (c) a multlchannel video
prosrammin8 distributor operated by the franchisin8 authority for that
franchise ama offers video pro,-darning to at least $0 perceflt of iht
households in that franchise area.
In order to tabulate basic service tier rates, a franchisin8 authority
muse be ~en]fl~ by ~e FCC. In orc~r to be certified, a franchlsln8
authority must complete this from. An original and one copy pi Iht
compllaed form and all ad~chmontl must be rdumed to lh~ FCC
b'( re~idered mall, rldurn receipt request~cl, to the FCC pt the
Iddr~l on I~ form.
A copy ol't'he i'orm must be served on the cable operator by first.class
mall on or before the date the form is sent or delivered to the FCC.
The franchlslnff I~Khority's cor(ificatlon will become effective
a(l~-~r ~ dlmstamD~l ch-J the ~receiDt unle~ otherwise
j~utlfled by the Commission by that date. The frinchisln$ authority
canno( be~ln to tabulate rates, however, until It has lc~ually adopted
the required ~Sulezions (~eo below) and until it has nMified the. cable
Oporltot that it has ~ ca,tiffed and that it has adopted the required
msulaltor~s.
Iff (~Kler to be calcified, franchisinB authorllles must answer *yes' to
Questions 3, 4, and 5, which are explained as follow~:
Question 3: The frinchlstn8 authority must adopt rate tabulations
conslstefll with the Commission's reRulatio~s for basic cable servi~J~.
To (ulfill this requimfYmnt for certification, Iht franchising authority
may simply ~lopt a mgulatlon indicatin8 that it will follow the
msulatlons,estebllshed by Iht FCC.
The IranchisinB authority has 120 days I, adopl these regulations
after the time it is certified. 'Iht franchising authority may ncR,
however, beffln lo re8ulate cable rates until after il has adopted these
tabulations Ired umil it has noMfied dsc cable operator that it ha~ been
certified and has adopled the required re8ulations.
Question 4(a): The franchising authmaty's ~lesal aulhorit7~ to tabulate
basic service must come from state law, In some su~eL only the
~am enVLV~mem may re~ulau, tibia r~. tn those slateS, the slain

may wish to review the FCC's J~:~2jG(LOtder in D~ke~ 92-26~
FCC 9.1.177 (released May 3, 1993.) for further inloematlon on the
establishment of alternative federal relulatory procedures.

R~: Upcoming
Dear
I During ~he week of September 1, our subscribers will
receiving a notice in the mail tha~ alerts =hem =o changes in
channel line-up and rages ghag wall be occurring ~his fall as a
result of the new Federal Communications Commission (PCC)
I regulations.. The first of these changes will be reflected in a new
channel line up and rate card. A sample copy of the notice is
attached for your review.
Among the changes, we are eliminating charges for basic cable
I on additional ouglets; we are reducing charges for remote controls,
and we are re:iering to offer more channels on basic cable. We
I have made these changes consistent with our interpretation of the
very complex FCC rules and guidelines. In some cases, rates will
rise for our customers; for some subscribers, rates will fall
dramatically; for others, there will be no change.
I FCC regulations preempt the normal franchise authority 30-60
day notification requirements; those requirements have been waived
to meet federal government deadlines.
I We h~pe to limit the changes required to comply with the law,
and certainly seek go minimize any inconvenience go our customers.
Nevertheless, some of ~he future channel line-up changes are not
i under our control. If broadcasters do not grant us permission to
continue go carry ~heir signal, then additional channel changes
will be required on or before October 6 ~o comply with the must
carry/retransmission consent aspects Of the 1992 Cable Act.
I The new FCC regulations are complicated and create uncertain~y
for everyone, we will make every effort to keep you and all of our
customers fully informed along %he way, and encourage anyone with
I a question or concern to call us at our office.
We are working hard to make the cable law changes w~rk for
everyone, and are absolutely committed to the delivery of quality
entertainment and excellent service to our community. We look
I forward to continuing to work closely with during what may be
you
an unsettling next few months.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
The time has come to either repair the ramp or construct a
new ramp. The current ramp does not meet handicap
requirements as established by the ADA. This was a finding
that came from the Handicap Self Evaluation Committee
referencing Personnel Director's memo. Several complaints
have been received in regards to the integrity of the ramp.
It has been repaired in the past on several occasions. The
wood is apparently rotted and during the last replacement of
the decking it was noted that the stringers had deteriorated
to a point that they should be replaced.
Staff had planned to replace the ramp next fiscal year and
budgeted $5000 for ADA accessability requirement's. The
ramp should not be repaired but replaced to meet with its
own legal requirements and reduce the City's exposure. As
of July's operating statement there was approximately
$60,000 available in the City Hall improvements fund.
Upon review of different locations around City Hall, it is
staff's recommendation that the handicap ramp be located on
the Northwest Entrance where the current ramp now exists.
The ramp would be constructed approximately 6 foot in width
between the existing roof columns. It would terminate
approximately 25 feet from the porch landing to a lower
landing. Then two ramps one to the north and one to
the west would allow access to the handicap parking spaces.
The existing concrete stoop and a major portion of the
existing concrete would be removed. We are currently in
the process of obtaining costs for the installation of the
handicap hand rail from several vendors. It is anticipated
that the cost would be less than $2000. Ail work and labor
would be done by Public Works Employees including the
demolition, the forming, pouring and finishing of the
concrete ramp and the installation of the hand rail.
Staff has prepared the enclosed sketch for the proposed
access ramp. This sketch will be forwarded to the Handicap
Self Evaluation Committee for any revisions and comments to
not only insure with ADA but to receive direct input from
our own committee.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
This is for information purposes only and to discuss any
concerns or design criteria, and direct staff accordingly to
City Council's desires.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
Riomar engineering and Contractors Inc. of Indialantic Florida
have been working on securing DEP, DNR and Army Corp of Engineer
Permits for the above referenced projects. Original scope of
services was not to exceed $2000. But because of the
difficulties and the numerous revisions required by the agencies
they have exceeded their budget amount on the permit and have
requested an additional $500 to cover their costs to complete the
project. Under the original terms of the agreement they have
prepared the sketches and completed the application for the
project. It was my responsibility to respond to comments and
requests that were received from the various government agencies.
I have enclosed a copy of the type of comments that the agency
has generated and the response that I have provided. As noted by
the comments, this has caused major revisions to the drawings and
sketches to eliminate a portion of the wave attenuator, eliminate
the mooring pilings and to provide the hand rails. They have
made numerous phone calls with the government agencies on the
City's behalf to determine an amicable solution that would be
beneficial for the residents and still comply with the agencies
requirements. To this end, they have successfully negotiated
today, a 120 foot wave attenuator, extension of the existing
finger piers with an additional 53 feet extending to the north
and attaching to the existing fishing pier. Hand rails have now
been included for the south section of the fishing pier with "No
Mooring" signs to be posted.
It is my past experience the additional costs are fair and
reasonable and typically a permit of this type would have been
closer to $4500 to $5000.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to approve the additional costs of services of $500. to

Dear Mr. Holllday:
As per our telephone conversation' of today, the referenced permit'
application drawings have been modified in response to comments
from the Department of Environmental Protection. Enclosed, please
find copies of revised permit drawings.
The drawings have been modified to show the following:
l)
The existing ~ishing pier will not be used for the
temporary mooring of vessels and" No Mooring" signs will
be posted along the structure. The City of Sebastian
still requests permission to do maintenance work to the
fishing pier, ie. replacing the existing decking,
handrails and benches.
2)
T~e proposed ~" diameter piled rub rails, on the south
sade of the f~shing pier will not be required.
3)
4)
The City will be allowed to add 20 foot extensions to the
two ex%sting 35' x 5' boat launching docks.and add the 52 ·
foot d~agonal dock that ramps up to the existing fishing
pier from the northern launching dock.
The length of the wave attenuator will be reduced from
340 feet to 120 feet. This is to protect the loading
areas only.

Attn: Tammy Weingarden, Environmental specialist
Wetland Resource Permitting
RE: Application File No. 31-226460-4
Comment letter dated March 18th, 1993.
Dear Ms. Weingarden:
This letter is written in response to your comments received for
the above referenced project. Response to your comments will be
in the same order in which they were presented by your letter
dated March 18, 1993. In your letter, you state that e permit
will be required for this project pursuant to Chapter 403 F1
Statutes and that you indicated that the permit was incomplete.
The completeness summary ~r W~%']~T~d~ Resource Management permit
application are as follows:
I. Items found to be incomplete.
1) Application fee of $$00 has been received as acknowledged by
copy of receipt. However, a ~ asterisk amount has been indicated
in the blank space for an amount due which indicates that
additional fees would be expected. However, there is no
direction as to the additional amount required nor es to reasons
given for the additional amounts. It is our understanding that
the department is not sure after reviewing the documents which
category this project would be permitted. Therefore, you note
later in your comments that a determination will be made at some
later date. Application processing fees were originally
identified by 17.4.050(A)(d) (D Wetland Resource Management
(Dredge and fill) permits, Sub Paragraph d. Short form
construction projects.
].) 0-2 new boat slips $300. This permit fee application was
assumed to be the proper application fee amount since no new boat
slips were being constructed by this proposed project. The
application was for enhancement of existing boat slips facilities
which included a breakwater system and extension of the finger
pier to provide a safe access and more area for boats to tie up
durigg inclement weather.
2) One copy of an aerial photograph of the project area at scale
of one inch equals 200 feet has been provided for more detail as
referenced in FAC rule: 17-312.060 (5)

IV. Water Quality Information
1. Water quality information - You indicated that our project is
in Class II waters and that we should provide e detail plan
protecting the area in the vicinity of the project from
significant damage. FAC Rule: 17-312.080(6) which recognizes
that the department can deny a permit for dredge and fill in
Class II waters unless the applicant submits a plan or proposes
procedures to protect the waters and the waters in the vicinity.
It should be clearly understood that the City of Sebastian is not
proposing any filling or dredging in connection with the proposed
improvements for this project. That the proposed work includes
the renovation of the fishing pier deck, extension of the finger
piers, construction of a breakwater system, and the setting of
pilings between the bend members of the fishing pier to prevent
boats from accidently getting caught under the pier.
2. Identifies that our project is in Outstanding Florida Waters
and requests that we provide items demonstrating compliance with
rules 17-4.242(2)(a) and rule 17-312.080(3) Rule 17-4.242(2)(A),
Subparagraph 2a - Standards applies to Outstanding Florida
Waters; no department permit or water quality certification shall
be issued for any proposed activity or discharge within an
Outstanding Florida Water or which significantly degrades either
along in combination with other stationary installations in any
Outs~anding Florida Waters unless the applicant affirmly
demonstrates that the proposed activity or discharge is truly in
the public interest. This is s public facility utilized by not
only the residents of Sebastian area but the residents of the
northern end of Indian River County and the southern end of
Brevard County as well as the Florida Marine Patrol and the U.S.
Coast Guard Auxiliary. Funding for this project has been
obtained in part from the Florida Boating Improvement Program
which recognizes that the improvements at the Yacht Club and the
boat launching facility as being in the publics best interest.
The Florida Boating Improvement Program is organized through
Indian River County'~ D~m~rtment of PRrks and Recreation and the
improvements were approved by the Board of County Commissioners
as identified in the letter of April 8th, 1992 from Carolyn K.
Eggert, Chairman.
Rule 17-4.242(2)(A), Subparagraph 2(b) The existing ambient water
quality within the OFW shall not be lowered ss a result of the
proposed activity or discharge because no filling or dredging is
required for this project.
This project does meet with the FAC rule 17-312.080(3) which
states that no permit shall be issued for dredging and filling
which significantly degrades or is within the Outstanding Florida
Waters, because this project will not require any dredging or
filling to be done to complete the project as outlined in the
scope of work.
V. Hydrographic information
1. No comment received. No action required.
vi. Addit~onsl information
The following questions were asked under FAC rule 17-312.060(5)
1. References the rule to better evaluate the impacts ssociated
with the proposed projects. No action required.
2. Identifies with the project as proposed is not expected to
receive favorably technical staff review for permitting and the
department strongly suggests that the project be modified to
substantially reduce wetland impacts on site. And, therefore,
all the following questions should be carefully answered. It is
noted that if we do modify the project the department may require
information in addition to these questions to fully evaluate the
proposal - No action required.
1. a~ this project is in the publics best interest as identified
from the previous response to comment no 2 Section IV. That this
would serve the public at no cost.
3. b. Your comment ]_nd~c~'es th-t the project must not increase
the pollutant loading in OFW> AS stated before in the previous
response to your comments, this project would not increase the
pollutant loading into OFW. Because there is no dredging and
filling associated with th~s project, in essence, there could be
amount of pollutants loading if this project
a
reduction
of
the
were allowed to proceed. CurrentlF as boaters try to use the
loading ramp from the Sebastian Yacht Club they have limited
space in which they are able to tie off. During the time that a
boater is waiting, it is typically observed that the boaters run
their boats in a continual circle until the boat ramp becomes
available. If tieoffs areas were increased to allow boaters to
wait their turn with their motors shut off this would reduce the
amount of pollutants loading into OFW.
3 c. You indicate that based on information provided that our
project would adversely affect the biological resources in and
around the vicinity because of the shallow water depths typically
two to three feet and the extensive submerged vegetation in the
8rea. As indicated above from previous comments, there would be
8 minimal effect on the biological resources. That there will
not be any filing or dredging in the project vicinity. This
project is for boater safety and would reduce the boat activity
while boats were being loaded onto the trailers by having boaters
with their motors turned off.
4. You have requested 8n¥ ~,nformstion regardimg previous permits
After research of the City files, no information is available
regarding previous permits whether issued or denied by the
Department for any projects on this site.
5. The person identified for the execution of the application is
the City Engineer. The City Manager is not the owner of record.
Since this is a municipality the property has been deeded to the
City and a copy of the quit claim deed from General Development
Corporation along with the correspondence have been included to
show how this piece of property was conveyed to the City. Also
find enclosed an original affidavit signed by the City Manager
authorizing Daniel C. ~ckis, P.E., City Engineer/Public Works
Director to act as owners representative for all permitting
requirements. Please note that item number 14 which has not been
compketed has now been ct~ .... :k~d r,~ o~;~er representative.
6. Please find enclosed a COpy of the survey and legal
description for the property and where the proposed work shall
take place as prepared by William Matt Land Surveying dated
December 17th, 1992.
7. No detail information is available as to the type, size and
number of the amount of draft vehicles which launch from this
boat ramp verses weekend and holidays. However, generally the
type of boats and size vary from small Jan boats for river
fishing to 20 or 22 foot ocean going vessels, some. ere used by
private individuals, and some for commercial purposes. The boat
ramp is used on a light to moderate basis during the weekdays.
However, weather pe~mitting, weekends and holidays it is not
unusual to see 20 or more boat trailers parked at the Yacht Club
and the adjoining Riverview Park signifying a moderate to heavy
use.
8. The purpose for the wave attenuator along the north side of
the fishing pier is to provide safe haven for boaters during
inclement weather to protect boats during recovery not launching.
Typically boats are not launched during adverse weather
conditions, but try to load their boats on their trailers. The
wave attenuator would work to protect the boats during recovery
by breaking the wave action from storms coming from the northwest
to the northeast.
9. Most of the storms come from the northwest to the northeast
which is typical of most of the northern storms when most of the
heaviest storms occur.
lO. The hand rails are proposed to be removed and not replaced
from the south side of the fishing pier to allow boaters to
access the fishing pier to the trailer parking lot to pick up
their boat trailer so that the boats can be loaded. The handrail
as ~t now exists, only creates an obstacle for most boaters.
This would help to encourage boaters to tie along the fishing
pier cut their engines and then load their boats.
11. The purpose for the proposed rub rail along the south side
of the pier is to provide an intermediate piling between the
concrete columns that support the £~shing pier. Typically, their
distance is approximately twelve fleet apart and with the
installation of a piling half way between, would provide a six
foot open area in which a boat of minimum to moderate size or
larger may lay up against without fear of damage to the gunal or
other portions of the boat.
12. The proposed seventeen pilings on the south side of the pier
have been added to the cross section detailing their location.
13. The north access pier has been extended to the south side of
the fishing pier to allow boats wishing to load on their trailers
to be kept in the sequential order in which they have entered the
facilities. In other words es the boat ahead of them is able to
pull up along the pier to the loading ramp, the subsequent boat
to the rear is able to take their piece in an orderly fashion
until the last boat is out of the water. This would lead to fewer
conflicts among boaters and this would be $ smoother operation.
indicated on the enclosed survey and
The boat ramp dimensions are
have been added on the permit application drawings. The
dimensions are 35 feet in width and approximately 54 feet of the
concrete boat ramp to the approximate edge of the water.
Typically no more than 2 vehicles can launch from this facility
at the same time.
14. The intended uses and purposes to the proposed improvements
'at the existing structures is simply to facilitate the operation
of loading boats from the water onto the trailer. Currently
boats now must circle within the basin area creating prop wash
and causing additional wave action within the area. The proposed
facilities will be utilizing similar to the existing facilities
with Just minor modifications to allow boats to stack in an
orderly fashion with their motors turned off. This would allow
boaters a safe haven during inclement weather in which they would
be able to tie up their boats, seek shelter of the land until the
storm were to pass and then withdraw the boat from the water.
16. No vessels will be allowed to moor at this structure. The
intended use is for the orderly loading of boaters from the water
and to enhance boater safety.
17. You indicate that the department is not certain whether our
additional money and to be
project as proposed will require
processed as a standard form application end that also our
project may require a hydrographic evaluation - so noted.
action required.
18. The location of oyster beds and seagrasses are located
outside the scope of this project within the Indian River
Estuary.
No
19. a. Unacceptable. The connection for the boat launch to the
fishing pier is necessary to provide additional storage for
boaters for the organized loading of boats from the water and to
provide a safe haven during inclematic weather.
19 b. Unacceptable. The wave attenuator iS required to reduce
wave action during squalls or northerners that occur during
periods of inclematic weather and to allow the easy and safe
removal of boats from the water.
19 c. Unacceptable. Pilings on the south side of the pier
provide an area for boats to tie off in an organized fashion and
to allow the boaters to retrieve their boat trailer and remove
their boat from the water without having to spend time circling
within the basin area.
19 d. Unacceptable. Handrails along the south side would only
interfere with the boaters trying to gain entry to retrieve their
boating trailers to remove their boats from the water.
19 e. No permanent mooring will be allowed at the fishing pier.
20 Comment acknowledged: That the department reserves the right
to request additional information once the responses to the
request have been received. No action required.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
The Finance Department currently has a part-time temporary Account
Clerk II (4 hours a day) to help with the work load. Due to the
work load in the Finance Department and the excellent skills of the
temporary employee, the Finance Department respectfully requests
that the City Council appropriate funds from October 1, 1993 to
January 31, 1994 to fund this temporary position full-time.
The Finance Department is anticipating that a current employee will
be retiring at the end of January. The temporary position can
begin learning those duties so that when the employee retires,
there will be a smooth transition of the work load she currently
performs. In addition, this position can help with the monthly
operating statements, now being done by the Finance Director and
the Staff Accountant; can help close out the Fiscal Year books; can
help prepare information for the Auditors; and can continue to help
with the property inventory and purchase procedures that need to be
updated. Without this position, the Finance Department will not be
able to meet deadlines required by the City Council and standard
fiscal operating procedures. In addition, this position can assume
additional responsiblities in other areas that current staff cannot
keep up with.
R~COMMENDED ACTION
Approve the funding for a full-time temporary Account Clerk II from
October i to January 31, 1994. The amount, $4,716.80, is derived
from the pay of the temporary Account Clerk II ($7.37/hr) times 80
hours bi-weekly times 8 payperiods.
