I agreed to meet with representatives of the C.W.A. by November 30, 1989. On November 21, 1989, I met informally with the C.W.A. and reviewed requests for re-classifications and new personnel as well as discussing some concerns about the job descriptions for Maintenance Worker I, II and Iii classifications. In reviewing the departmen~ head requests in conjunction with year end operating statements, it is my conclusion that some $80,000 could be added to general operating expenses for personnel and that some $35,000 in operating expenses for personnel could be added to the Golf Course Fund. My recommendations as well as the department head justifications are outlined in the attached documents. Any approval of these by the City Council would be subject to approval of a budget amendment approved by the City Council.

(The part time position would be vacated and not refilled. ) CLR/ave Attachments (4) Robert S. McClary, City Mana§er October 10, 1989 Page Two - A~ach~t 1 Taken from the U.S. Departmsnt of Justice Management Assessment Report to the City of Sebastian, dated April, 1989 It cannot be overemphasized that training is critical to the operation of a police agency. The more the better. A police officer cannot be overtained in general items. He/she can be wrongly trained or ._poorly trained, but never does an officer end the training process." "It w~uld be possible to fill pages on this matter. Suffice it to state that if the Sebastian Police Department is going to improve it must set training as a key and concentrate efforts on upgradin§ its officers." "A training coordinator position should be created at the Lieutenant level (this also opens tw~ promotional opportunities). This _position would be responsible for developing a trainin§ program and for conductin§ field training for new officers." I agree with the above statement except for the rank recc~mendation. I feel this position would call for the rank of Sergeant not that of a Lieutenant and that this would open only one position for promotion. I also feel that this position could be used for additional responsibilities such as Community Relations, Crime Watch, School Resource Officer and Crime Stoppers Officer. Robert S. McClary, City Manager October 10, 1989 Pa~e Three - Attachment 2 POLICE D~CITVE IMPACT STATemENT: During Fiscal Year 1988/89, this City experienced increased rates in crime trends. The crime rate for 1987/1988 has increased by 32%, and with the continued increase in the population of Sebastian (The 1980 census showed a population of 2,200. The current estimates of population is 8,800 with a 1990 projection of 11,900) this trend of increased crime will climb, especially if the drug problem and use of crack cocaine continues to increase. Trends in law enforc~nent are clear with regard to the threat posed by narcotics laws violators. ~lese criminals are in our community and frequent our City on a constant basis. To believe otherwise is ignoring the reality of the ever increasing drug problem. With the addition of this Detective, the Department will have the capacity to aggressively investigate and prosecute narcotics law violators. A realiqnment of responsibilities within the Criminal Investigations Section would find this Detective assiqned with one of the existing three investigators (to be selected) to form a two person element specifically targetted against the illicit narcotics trade. Robert S. McClary, City Mana§er October 10, 1989 Page Four - Attachment 3 OFFICER- [Four (4) B~ested] During Fiscal Year 1988/89, this City experienced increased rates in crime trends. The crime rate for 1987/88 has increased by 32%, and with the continued increase in the .population of Sebastian (The 1980 census showed a population of 2,200. The current estimates of population is 8,800 with a 1990 projection of 11,900) this trend of increased crime will climb, especially if the drug problem and use of crack cocaine continues to increase. In 1988, this Department answered 15,073 calls for police service, also during this time this Department had twenty-two sworn officers. For the year, 1989, October 10, this Department has answered 35,879 calls for police service with only twenty sworn officers. With the addition of four sworn officers we will be able to provide adequate police services to the coca, unity. Additions to the staff of the police department are going to be expensive, but one need only weigh the cost of crime against the improvements and it becomes clear that these officers will be a necessary investment. Robert S. McClary, City Manager October 10, 1989 Page Five - Attachment 4 During Fiscal Year 1988/89, this Department experienced a phenomenal increase in police calls for service. During the calendar year 1988, this Depa~h,~nt responded to 15,073 calls for service. So far this year, as of May 11, 1989, we have responded to 10,793 calls for service, which means that by the end of December 1989, the Department will have answered well over 42,000 calls for police service. This is an increased work load on the administrative personnel as well. The record clerks have to handle each of these reports loggin§, typing, filing and placing the required information in the Criminal Justice System's computer. This additional records clerk would also be identified as the Criminal Investigative Unit Clerk, and would type all C.I.U. reports prior to filing them with the State Attorney's Office.

As we discussed, this can accomplish at least two things: 1) It will effectively recognize the knowledge and type of contribution she makes (and has been making for some time now) to the Engineering/Public Works Depa~,~nts on a daily basis; and 2) If she is further supported by one additional clerical person, her extensive backgound knowledge can be put to more effective ~se in project management/coordination/ expediting type rdles. As you know, Linda is now serving on Jury duty and is not expected back to work full time for at least another two w~eks. When she returns, I would like to discuss the entire situation with her and with you at length. This to make sure we work out and understand what the expectati~ are on all sides.

It is presented as a stand alone document so that all features are organized in a logical sequence. It is 'recognized that its several elements must later be selectively factored into the city's Land Develop- ment Code. Since city staff and sut,porting consultants are skilled in ordinance structure, we ask that they apply their expertise to develop the final form and content. However, this Committee does intend that either the exact wording herein, or its essential equivalent, appear in any city ordinance derived from these recommendations. The wording in the Architectural Review Criteria section has been particularly chosen with this intent in mind. This is not to say that the contents herein are hard and fast-- the nature of this initial document indicates flexibility. And to reach final scope and phrasing, this Committee anticipates subsequent working sessions and dialogue with all the city agencies involved and, equally important, with local business and citizen interests, A great majority of the phraseology was extracted or edited from existing ordinances of Florida cities, References are shown in square brackets. The aim here is to utilize those approaches to civic architectural and appearance control that have passed prior legal, civil and administrative scrutiny in sister cities of similar size. We have no wish to set any precedents with this document ... This Committee solicits constructive feedback on this initial paper and looks forward to preparing an updated and coordinated document for subsequent implementation into city ordinances. We feel the time has long been at band for the incorporation of architectural and appearance standards for Sebastian's non residential developments. The Committee Edwin Gilcher Richard Giteles Donna Keys Jane Lewis Steven Lulich RECOMMENPATIONS FOR,,~.~BASTI&.N ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW ORDINANCE 1o0 iNTENT - PURPOSE The Sebastian Architectural Review Ordinance is intended to supplement the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code of the City of Sebastian for the following purposes: (a) To promote and sustain the public health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of the citizens of the City; (b) To balance carefully the natural environment with manmade systems which preserve, protect and conserve the natural environment; (c) To attract new residents and businesses by reason of a desirable urban environment; (d) To minimize incompatible surroundings and visual blight which prevent orderly community development and reduce community property values; (e) To encourage and promote development which features amenities and excellence in the form of variations of siting, types of structures and adaptation, to and conservation of native vegetation and other environmental design features; (f) Foster civic pride and community spirit by maximizing the positive impacts of developments; (g) To inspire creative approaches to the use of land and related physical developments; (h) To foster the development of a positive visual character for the City by promoting a high degree of compatibility between land uses.

It ia not to be inferred that buildings must look alike or be of the same style to be harmonious, Harmony can be achieved through the proper consideration of scale, proportions, site planning, landscaping, materials and color. [Boca Raton] Look alike buildings are not allowed unless, in the opinion, of the Commission, there is sufficient separation to preserve the aesthetic character of the present or evolving neighborhood. This is not to be construed to prohibit duplication of floor plans and exterior treatment in a planned development where, in the opinion of the Commission, the aesthetics of the development depends upon or are enhanced by the look alike buildings and their relationship to each other. [Boca Raton] Building projections shall provide interest and variety through use of windows, doors, eaves, and parapets. Building components shall have good proportions and interesting relationships to help avoid monotonous building elevations. Repetitious and bland elevations shall be avoided by providing variation in details, form and siting, to promote visual interest.

Colors should be harmonious and shall use only compatible accents. Colors shall not be garish and should blend with neighboring developments. [Hilton Head] The quality of a new development shall not adversely affect the value of surrounding properties. New projects shall use building materials of a similar or higher quality than those used on adjacent properties. Details of the proposed colors and materials shall be reflected on the building plans and color chips and samples shall be provided. [Mesa] FEATURES AND, COMPONENT~ Building components, such as windows, doors, eaves and parapets shall have good proportion and relationship to one another. [Highland Park] Building surfaces, walls and roofs that are considered garish by the Commission will be denied approval. [Boca Raton] Pitched roofs or the appearance of pitched roofs with a minimum slope of 5/12 are strongly encouraged. Long monotonous facade designs, including those characterized by unrelieved repetition of shape or form or by unbroken extension of line shall be avoided. Buildings which are of' symbolic design for reasons of advertising will not be approved by this commission. Symbols attached to buildings will not be allowed unless they are secondary in appearance to the building and landscape and are an aesthetic asset to the building project and neighborhood.

[Boca Raton] Service areas and refuse containers shall be located to the rear of buildings.

Continuing use of overhead wires is discouraged. [l~lesa] 3.2.4 SCREENING Refuse and waste removal areas, service yards, storage yards, delivery areas and exterior work areas that in the opinion of the commission tend to be unsightly shall be screened from view from public ways. Screening shall be accomplished by the use of 90~ minimum opaque walls, fences, plantings or a combination of these that are architecturally compatible with the building or structure. [Highland Park, modified and partial] 3.2.5 GASOLINE STATIONS The following are added criteria for gasoline stations and those convenience stores or similar establishments that have gasoline service facilities. a. Symbolic color of th~ exterior facades or roofs may not be used unless they are harmonious with the atmosphere of the surrounding neighborhood. b. Exterior display of goods for sale or displays designating a service will not be allowed, except that a display of goods and tools of a service may be displayed on the pump island, provided the island is not considered by the Commission to be enlarged to take advantage of this provision, and provided the goods and tools be such that they can be used or installed at the island. For example: An oil rack is acceptable, but a tire display is not. c. Areas used to store materials such as mufflers, tires, packing crates or cases, refuse and garbage, shall be screened from adjacent property and from the public view as delineated in section 3.2.4 herein. 3.3 LIGHTING Exterior lighting may be used to illuminate a building and its grounds for safety purposes but in an aesthetic manner. Lighting is not to be used as a form of advertising in a manner that draws considerable more attention to the building or grounds at night than in the day. Lighting following the form of the building or part of the building will not be allowed if in the opinion of the commission the overall effect will be garish or detrimental to the environment. All fixtures used in exterior lighting are to be selected for their aesthetic value. [Boca Raton] Exterior lighting, when used, shall enhance the building design and the adjoining landscape. Lighting standards and building fixtures shall be of a design and size compatible with the building and adjacent areas. Lighting shall be restrained in design and excessive brightness avoided. [Hilton Head] 3.4 SIGNS [Note: This section comprises architectural and appearance criteria for signs. It is intended to supplement the present Sebastian sign ordinances. It is recommended the material contained in Section 20A-15 of the Land development Code be appropriately referenced herein; and that Section 20A-15.7(H), "Appearance of Signs", be deemed redundant.] Every sign shall be designed as an integral architectural element of the building and site to which it principally relates. [Highland Park] Free-standing signs should be designed as integral parts of the development theme. Such should include the use of colors, materials, and features that reflect the architectural character of the principal building or buildings. [Greenacres] Every sign shall have good scale and proportion in its design and in its visual relationship to buildings and surroundings. [Highland Park] The overall effect of the configuration or coloring of signs shall not be garish. The colors shall not conflict with the other signs already on the building or in the immediate vicinity. [Boca Raton] The colors, materials and lighting of every sign shall be restrained and harmonious with the building and site to which it principally relates. [Highland Park] The number of graphic elements on a sign shall be held to the minimum needed to convey the sign's major message and shall be composed in proportion to the area of the sign face. [Highland Park] 8 Each sign shall be compatible with signs on adjoining premises and shall not compete for attention. [Highland Park] Identification signs of a prototype design and corporate logos shall conform to the criteria for all other signs. [Highland Park] We Strongly discourage the use of signs with internal illumination. Fl~shing, visible moving or movable parts, moving messages, animated lights, or signs giving the appearance of animation are disallowed. [Hilton Head, modified] We encourage the use of signs with spot-lighting. All signs shall be designed to shield the light from on-coming motorists and to conceal the light fixture to the extent practicable. [Hilton Head] 3.5 LANDSCAPING [Note: This section comprises architectural and appearance criteria for landscaping. It is intended to supplement the present Sebastian landscaping ordinances, it is recommended the material contained in Section 20A-13 of the Land Development Code be appropriately referenced herein.] The site landscaping should be planned to accomplish a smooth transition from adjacent properties that differ in land use and/or design philosophy by the use of site breaks such as screens, berms, fences and walls for aesthetic purposes. [Hilton Head] The existing natural landscape character shall be preserved whenever possible. As an example of this, in a area containing a stand of trees, the developer should preserve as many of those trees as possible and further landscape in a complementary manner, rather than destroy the existing trees and replant with a type of vegetation foreign to the immediate natural environment. Relocation of existing trees is encouraged as opposed to their destruction. [Hilton Head] Parking areas shall be treated with decorative elements, building wall extensions, plantings, berms or other innovative means so as to screen parking areas from view from public ways. These areas and traffic ways shall be enhanced with landscaped areas containing trees or tree groupings. [Hilton Head] In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such as fences, walls, and parings of wood, brick or stone shall be used. Carefully selected plants shall be combined with such materials where possible. Plants that are indigenous to the area and others that will be hardy, harmonious to the design, and of good appearance shall be used. [Hilton Head] There shall be an automate/d irrigation system provided for all landscaping. [Hilton Head] 0 The owner shall be .responsible for the maintenance of all landscaping. Landscaping shall be maintained in a good condition so as to present a healthy, neat and orderly appearance at least equal to the original installation and shall be kept free from refuse and debris. Any dead vegetation and landscaping material shall be promptly replaced with healthy, living plantings. [Boca Raton] 9 All landscaping materials shall be guaranteed by the owner of the premises for a period of one year after the certificate of occupancy is granted. [Boca Raton] Interior areas of parking lots shall contain planter islands located so as to best relieve the expanse of paving. We encourage parking layouts having no more than 12 parking spaces in a row without a planter island. [Boca Raton modified] Interior areas of vehicular use shall contain planter islands located so as to best relieve the expanse of pavement. [Boca Raton] BUILDING AND STRUCTURE I~IAiNTENANCE The exterior of all commercial property shall be maintained so as to prevent deterioration or blight. (1) All exterior surfaces shall be free of chipping, pitting, cracking, discolor- ation, peeling or fading.

Even then, the chances are small of it being authorized to proceed with regulatory powers, especially with no local experience to act as a guide for expectations and in view of the complications involved in folding such regulatory powers in with the existing Planning and Zoning Cc~mission process. The Citizens Cc~mittee for a Beautiful Sebastian has done an excellent job in formulating a set of very w~rthy goals and objectives on the matter. It has also outlined a very useful body of substantive infomation and guidelines, much already proven to be effective in other towns and cities. If an Architectural Review Cc~nittee does not go forward in sc~e capacity, albeit advisory only, the worthwhile work of the Citizens Cc~mittee will not be utilized to its fullest. Regulatory "teeth" should not be lightly formed or given to any public body, at least not without the exercise of judgment as fully informed as possible. Authorizing a specified trial period in which an Architectural Review Committee is allowed to function in an advisory role oould provide that information. Settling on the "Advisory vs. Regulatory" issue sooner rather than later will allow further constructive discussion to proceed regarding the body of substantive guidelines. Until the role of the prospective Architectural Review Cc~mittee is defined procedurally in context with other elements of the City's government, I believe we may be wasting our time discussing substance. City of Sebastian POST OFFICE BOX 780127 n SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32978 TELEPHONE (407) 589-5330 FAX 407-589-5570 MEMORANDUM DATE: December 15, 1989 TO: FROM: Richard B. Votapka, Mayor & Sebastian City Council Robert S. McClary ~ RE: Budget Amendment This memorandum is a revision of~ my December 7, 1989 memorandum to you. I am pleased to present the proposed budget amendment for your consideration. The budget amendment is a result of several events including an analysis of actual year end balances in relation to budgeted beginning year balances, over $91,000 of unbudgeted County Option Sales Taxes collected in F-89, additional funding of $90,000 from indian River County for the Barber Street Sports Complex, carry over items which should be rebudgeted such as the Barber Street Sports Complex, Public Works Compound, construction of a records vault, additional capital needs such as furnishing and equipping the records vault, constructing improvements for City parks and relocating the Community Development Department to the north annex building. Additionally, the Public Works Department has put together a comprehensive improvement plan for the Cemetery which would be eligible for expenditure from the Cemetery Trust Fund. Finally, the County Option Gas Tax Fund would be amended to provide for the street improvement program as approved by the City Council and to provide for a traffic circulation study. GENERAL FUND RESERVES AS shown in the attached Beginning Year Fund Balance Analysis for General Fund, the actual beginning fund balance (unaudited) is $946,947. This is some S188,064 more than estimated. In simple terms, in fiscal - 89 the City over collected revenues by approximately 12% yet under expended its General Fund by some 9%. A fund reserve as high as 30% (20% reserves plus 10% contingencies) is permitted by'State law and, in my opinion, reserves should be no less than 10%. The proposed amendment would place the General Fund reserves ( cash on 9/30/90 ) at approximately $721,000 or 18.3%.0'd-~/~'~9'9'~ Re: Budget Amendment Page #2 GENERAL FUND REVENUES The proposed budget amendment would utilize an additional $175,750 of General Fund reserves. Additionally, we expect an increase of $14,000 from construction board revenues for a total of $189,750. GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES The budget amendment provides approximately $79,050 for additional personnel, $3,500 additional expense for competency board exams and a transfer of $107,200 to the capital Improvement Fund expenditures for a total of S189,750. The personnel requests are outlined in separate memorandum. CAPITAL PROJECTS The proposed capital projects budget amendment includes funding from Indian River County of $90,000 for the Barber Street Sports Complex and fund reserves of $161,000 (including $91,256 from County option Sales Tax collected in September 1989. ) Expenditures would be increased by $8,500 for the Police Station to bring the Police Station budget to S500,000, the Barber Street Sports Complex would now be budgeted at S180,000 to include the unexpended carry over from F-89 plus the County funding, City Hall renovations would be increased by $20,000 to S50,O00 to include renovations for the Community Development Department, and the records vault, .a 1989 project, is budgeted at $16,000. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND The proposed budget amendment provides for various improvements for several departments. The $107,200 in revenues is a transfer from General Fund. The proposal provides for S16,000 to equip and furnish the records vault and would increase the recording equipment for the City Clerk's Office by $1,000 in order to acquire new recording equipment for the City Council Chambers. Additionally, we contemplate purchasing a new telephone system for City Hall to coincide with the remodeling project. The proposed Capital Improvement Fund amendment also provides an additional $5,000 for a computer and printer for the City Manager's Office, an additional $2,500 for the Police Department to purchase sidearms for all sworn personnel and an increase of $20,000 in the Park Department to accomplish all projects on the approved improvement list. The Community Development Department's relocation would necessitate additional equipment including a copy machine, additional furniture, a computer and printer and another vehicle. The final item in the proposed Capital Improvement amendment would be for City buildings to provide for storm shutters to be used in the case of severe weather. Re: Budget Amendment Page #3 COUNTY OPTION GAS TAX The County Option Gas Tax Fund would be amended in two (2) areas. The current budget of $345,570 for street improvements is below the available funds and approved program. The current improvement program provides for S410,000 for F-90 and a $60,000 carry over from F-89. This amendment also provides for $80,000 for a traffic circulation study as provided in the City's Comprehensive Plan. CEMETERY TRUST FUND The proposed amendment provides for a $48,000 program for Cemetery improvements. These are outlined in the attached memorandum from Dave Fisher. GOLF COURSE FUND The budget amendment contemplates increases for the Golf Course Fund of $35,140 for additional personnel (please see separate memorandum) and for $4,000 for removable storm shutters for the Clubhouse building. /Jmt FISCAL 1989 CHANGES IN FUND RESERVES Actual Figures (Note: Unaudited) FUND General Fund Capital Projects C/I Debt Service Golf Course Airport Cemetery Trust PD Education Gas Tax TOTAL BEGINNING BALANCE lO/~/88 YEAR END 9/30/89 S 497,393 S 946,947 121,000 300,105 0 0 0 0 512,001 532,901 246,713 181,172 77,561 84,401 259 839 48~,992 ~302 $1,939,919 $2,469,667 INCREASE (DECREASE) 449,554 179,105 0 0 20,900 (65,541) 6,840 580 (61,690) 529,748 GENERAL FUND FISCAL 1990 FUND RESERVE ANALYSIS (Note: Unaudited Figures) F-90 BEGINNING FUND BALANCE 10/1/89 10/1/89 10/1/89 Budget Estimate Actual Proposed 758,883 946,947 (+188,064) 946,947 F-90 YEAR END FUND BALANCE 9/30/89 9/30/89 9/30/89 9/30/89 Budget Estimate (18%) Proposed (18.3%) Maximum (State Law 30%) Minimum (Recommended 10%) S 708,673 720,987 (+12,314) 1,181,740 393,133 FORMULA USED TO CALCULATE YEAR END RESERVES: Actual Beginning Balance (10/1/89) $ Estimated Beginning Balance (10/1/89) Increase in Fund Reserve Increase in Revenues (Const.

GENERAL FUND As shown in the attached Beginning Year Fund Balance Analysis for General Fund, the actual beginning fund balance (unaudited) is $905,178. This is some $146,295 more than budgeted. In simple terms, in fiscal - 89 the City over collected revenues by approximately 12% yet under expended its General Fund by some 9%. The actual beginning balance represents approximately 23% of the General Fund balance. A beginning fund balance as high as 30% is permitted by State law and, in my opinion, a beginning fund balance should be no less than one (1) month operating expense or approximately 8%. The proposed budget amendment would reduce the $905,178 beginning balance by $187,000 for a revised beginning fund balance of $718,000 or approximately 18.2%. Of this S187,000, some $80,000 would go to General Fund for various personnel expense and some $107, 200 would go to Capital Improvement Fund for various capital outlays. Re: Budget Amendment Page #2 GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES The budget amendment provides approximately $80,000 for additional personnel expenditures. These are outlined in separate memorandum. CAPITAL PROJECTS The capital pro3ects budget amendment includes funding from Indian River County of $90,000 for the Barber Street Sports Complex.
