Since that time, the City Council has rescheduled the November 24th meeting to November 17, 1993. i If you recall, the lastest change in this ongoing negotiation with representatives of Sebastian Lakes was to have them provide all bidding documents for the City of Sebastian to bid Laconia Street for a specific cost iin order for them to understand the full impact of this project. Due to problems with St. Johns Water Management and their existing engineer, they have hired another engineering firm and have completed the construction documents for Laconia Street and submitted them to the'City Engineer for I their approval. Due to the lateness of the documents being received by this department, we are unable to go out to bid to provide the cost in time for the public hearing of November 10, 1993. I did advise them that I would not irequest another time extension in this matter and their new engineering firm and consultants have convinced the owners to bid the project and pay all costs themselves without the City of Sebastian getting involved except for the approval of the construction plans and the acceptance of the road Iimprovements. Page 2 Therefore, the proposed development agreement which would allow them to retain the existing zoning and land use rights for ten years will provide the following for the City of Sebastian: 1. The applicant will be responsible for. all construction costs to construct Laconia Road in accordance with the Laconia Road plans. This will provide a two lane roadway into County Road 512, with a right turn in and a right turn out only. The applicant will start construction within 15 days from the date of issuance of the St. Johns Water Management District permit. The applicant will provide a drainage easement for all drainage improvements associated with the new improvements to Laconia Road. The applicant will dedicate an additional 20 feet of right-of-way for Roseland Road extension within 60 days of this agreement. This agreement will also require the applicant or its successors to construct Roseland Road and any associated turn lanes and traffic signals that are needed prior to the certificate of occupancy for commercial use of the property. Prior to the final adoption on November 17, 1993, the applicant will have received their bids concerning Laconia Road and staff should have some direction from St. Johns on the status of issuance of their permit. I know the City Council has been patient regarding this ongoing negotiation · and I believe this agreement satisfies all concerns. RECOMMENDED ACTION Hold the public hearing for November 10, 1993 and advise the public of the second public hearing and final adoption of Resolution R-93-62 on November 17, 1993. RESOLUTION NO.

The non- sworn position would be to fill a records clerk I position at the Police Department and in addition to that, to upgrade the Clerk i to Clerk II and upgrade the Clerk II position to Administrative Secretary" and "an evidence crime scene technician". The final 1993/1994 fiscal year budget, adopted September 22, 1993, included funding for the new Clerk I position and the new Crime Scene Evidence Technician position. It did not, however, contain funding for the upgrade for the existing Clerk I to Clerk II and the upgrade of the existing Clerk II to Administrative Secretary. The Administrative Secretary position would be a new position for the Police Department. As a result of a meeting with the Chief of Police, Finance Director and Personnel Director, and review of the tape of the August 7, 1993 workshop, there seems to be a discrepancy as to direction of city Council relative to the upgrades. In order to fund those upgrades, the City Council will be required to approve a budget amendment. I am requesting a motion and second to fund the upgrades and add Administrative Secretary to the approved positions for the Police Department. If approval is given, we will bring back the funding in our next fiscal 1993/1994 budget amendment RECOMMENDED ACTION Move to approve the Police Department Records Division position upgrades as requested by Chief Earl Petty at the August 7, 1993 budget workshop to: 1) upgrade one current Clerk i to Clerk II; 2) add the position of Administrative Secretary to approved P.D. positions and upgrade the current Clerk II to Administrative Secretary and direct staff to prepare a budget amendment.

Agenda No. Dept. Origin Date Submitted For Agenda of Exhibits: N/A Finance 11/3/93 EXPENDITURE AMOUNT APPROPRIATION REQUIRED: BUDGETED: REQUIRED: SUMMARY STATEMENT I I I I I I I I In adopting the FY 1993-94 budget, City Council approved an expenditure amount of $300 per employee per month for Health and Accident (H&A) Insurance. Since that time, actuarial reports from the H&A Plan Administrator have indicated that, based on actual claims history during the 12 month period of July 1992 through June of 1993, the existing employee H&A coverage will require funding of $374 per employee per month. The existing union contract sets a required city contribution "cap" of $325 per month per employee. Based on 112 full time employees participating in the coverage plan, the existing budget shortfall is approximately $99,500 (112 X $74 X 12). Of this amount, the City is obligated to pay approximately $33,600 because of the existing "status quo" union contract (112 X $25 X 12). The questions at hand are how to fund the remaining $65,900 anticipated expenditure for employee H&A insurance and the $33,600 shortfall required under the existing contract. (continued on next page) Although the possibility exists to have each participating employee pay approximately $22.63 per pay period to cover the $65,900 balance of the cost of H&A insurance coverage, the City would be required to allow employees to "opt out" of the plan under this option. This creates greater risk for the City and those employees remaining in the plan because the existing policy is self-insured for the first $20,000 of claims per employee and it is probable that many of the employees opting out of coverage will be those with better health experience. city Council approved a $100,000 merit pool for raises during the '93-'94 FY in the budget. Staff's recommendation is to use this budgeted appropriation to pay the additional expenditure required for employee H&A Insurance coverage ($33,600 + $65,900). In essence this would provide each covered employee with a "raise" of $22.63 per pay period (or $588 annually). The existing contract cap of $3,900 per year ($300 per month) remains unchanged, as this is a one time exception. Additionally, no monies would remain to grant raises during the current Fiscal Year. Therefore a salary freeze effective October 1, 1993 would be required. RECOMMENDED ~CTION Move to reallocate merit pool reserve of $100,000 to cover Employee H&A Insurance expenditures of the same amount as they are incurred, institute a salary freeze retroactive to October 1, 1993 (excluding specific raises already granted by Council during the budget adoption process), and retain the existing contract cap of $3,900 per year per employee for H&A Insurance coverage paid by the city.

AMOUNT APPROPRIATION BUDGETED: $30,000 REQUIRED: $5,850 I I I I I I I I I SUMMARY STATEMENT My assistant Public Works Director brought to my attention the possibility of purchasing a $45,000 Case backhoe for $35,850. This is a used piece of equipment with approximately 700 hours. It is a 1992 580 K model as budgeted in the Fiscal 93/94 budget. At my direction, both the Assistant Public Works Director and the shop foreman made a trip to Orlando to inspect the piece of equipment. They reported that it is a new piece of equipment in excellent condition with approximately 659 hours. It has been used as a demonstrator by the Case dealership and that they would honor a full one year manufacturers warranty if the City were to decide to purchase it. We have made comparisons of similar type of equipment that is on the state commodities contract list which is for a Ford for approximately $3000 less than the purchase price of the Case backhoe. The comparison between a Case and Ford is like a Cadillac and a Ford. The Case is the Cadillac and a Ford is a Ford. Our past experience with obtaining parts and servicability of Ford has been poor at best. Funding for this project would be from the capital projects fund. $30,000 has been set aside for the backhoe. It was anticipated that the small John Deere because of the implementation of the culvert crew they would use the small John Deere backhoe to load fill on the truck and to dig out the culvert pipe ends under the streets. I feel it is imperative that the City have three backhoes because of the amount of drainage complaints that we are experiencing. RECOMMENDED ACTION Move to waive bidding procedures and approve the purchase of the 1992 Model 580K Case Backhoe for $35,850. Case Power and Equipment Fla. Pkwy.

The machine is currently owned by the J.I. Case Company located in Orlando and they will sell it with a new machine warranty. This piece of equipment was used as a demonstrator and I have personally inspected it along with Tony Clopein, our equipment maintenance foreman, and it was found to be in new condition. J.I. Case Company purchase price is $35,850.00. The Ford Motor Company was awarded the state contract this year for this type of equipment and we can purchase a Ford Loader Backhoe for S32,463.00. The difference of $3,387.00. It is my recommendation that the City should purchase the Case Backhoe. In the past, in our area, we have had problems with the Ford dealer on parts and service. JT/dl MEMORANDUM DATE: October 27, 1993 TO: Dan Eckis, Public Works FROM: RE:Ford I I Tony CloDein, Vehicle Maintenance I Equipment I It was brought to my attention that you needed some information on the problems we are having with the Ford ec/uipment that we have in our fleet. The first problem is the mower in the Parks Department, which is a CM272. Soon after purchase, we needed a belt for this machine, and it took them approximately one month to get the belt and approximately two weeks to get blades for this machine, these are items that should have been in stock at the dealership and were not, they had to be ordered from the factory. We have had many problems getting parts, as well as technical advice on the repairs that we did here at our garage. When it was time for the first fifty hour service, we called to get filters sent to us, and there were no filters available from the dealer, which meant we had to wait approximately two weeks for the filters to come in just so we could do routine service. Two weeks after the service, it was brought into the garage for a belt replacement as the original one had been torn off at the Golf Course, and once again we were told this item was not in stock, and that it would be ordered that day from the factory. It took approximately one and one-half weeks to get the belt. The second machine we have had problems with is the Ford 7740 tractor with the interstator. We had a problem with the transmission locking in second gear, and when we called Ford, we were informed that they had to take it to their shop for repairs, and that we would be responsible for the transportation charges to and from their shop, which was $140.00. Approximately one week I I I I I I I I I i i later, the tractor stuck in second gear again. I called the shop on Monday, to get them to send a mechanic to Sebastian for the repair, we were scheduled for Tuesday morning at 7:30 a.m. and the man never showed. I called again this morning, and was told that they forgot to come up and the serviceman would be here on Thursday. The next problem we have is a Rhino hogger that we purchased from Ford. When the clutch went out on the driveshaft, which is normal wear and tear, we called to order a part. A Dart was delivered. It was the wrong Dart and not even the Dart number I had given them. It will take about another week to get the correct Darts. These are some of the ongoing problems we are having with the Ford dealership and the Ford equipment that we have. In general, the lack of support for parts, and the lack of warranty, would make me suggest that we do not go with another Ford product at this time and go with an alternate brand of equipment. Technical support and parts availability are the biggest factors in deciding which piece of equipment to purchase. If the machinery is down for any length of time because the dealer doesn't stock oil filters, air filters, belts, or blades, then the machine is not doing the City any good.

RH/sv WHAT IS REACT RK~CT (Radio Emergency Associated Communications Teams) is an international public service organization composed of affiliated ~CT Teams. A RE~CT Team is a chartered member of REACT International. Headquartered in Wichita, Kansas; Pdt%CT Inte=natioaal works with other national groups as F.E.M.A., N.O.V.A.D., The American Red Cross, A.R.R.L., The Salvation Army, N.O.A.A., local and state authorities. REACT is NOT a CB Club in any sense of the word. It is an over-all, all volunteer.non-profit tax exempt organization and one of the largest public service organizations in the United States. P~LCT Teams tailor their operations to suit local needs and conditions. Many teams have a Junior program or sponsor a Boy Scouts of America, Explorer Post. RE~CT Teams monitor Emergency Citizens Band channel 9, and many other authorized frequencies for any t~pe of emergency calls. Purposes in=lude the correct usage of CB'Emergency Channel - 9 ". Developi~g the skilled use of the CB Radio Service, G.M.R.S.'(UHF), Amateur, Cellular and other radio services as additional aources of communications in emergencies through public information programs and the coordination of efforts with other emergency organizations. There are over 800 chartered teams active in the United States, Puerto Rico, Trinidad-Tobago, Canada, United Kingdom and in the United States owned territories. In addition to monitoring channel 9, the REACT teams supply communication assistance for many worthwhile community events, such as the Special Olympics, March of Dimes, Multiple Sclerosis, parades, runs, walk-a-rhone, bike tours', hot air balloon festivals to name a few. During major holiday weekends, many RF~tCT Teams host (KEEP AWAKE) Safety B~eaks aIong the highways, to help often tired and weary motorists combat fatigue or DUI. Being a member of REACT has a different meaning to different people. To some it fills time; to others, it is an extension of themselves; and to still others, it is a means of helping people when they have no other way to do so. Whatever reason for belonging, when a party you have helped during an emergency comes back later and says "THANKS-, then you will know it is all worth the belonging. WEL -'OME- TO t EACT
