The City has received a request from a property owner adjacent to Schumann Park for the City to construct a fence around the basketball court to prevent individuals accidentally coming on to adjoining private property. The property owner owns the house and lot at the intersection of Kildare and Schumann. At the January 2, 1991 City Council Workshop, staff was instructed to prepare a sketch of the area showing the relative distance between the basketball court and the adjoining property. At its Regular Meeting on 1/29/91 the Parks & Recreation Committee reviewed the request and recommends that the city build 50 ft. of fence on the City property line.

Since that date, GDC has not met its responsibilities and obligations pursuant to an agreement with the City signed in 1979. Since that time, the City has made emergency repairs in Sebastian Highland Units which have not yet been accepted. Recently, I met with officials of GDC to discuss a possible agreement which would relieve GDC of its obligations and responsibilities under the 1979 agreement. Such an agreement must be approved by the Federal Bankruptcy Court in addition to the approvals of the City Council and GDC. Given GDC's current status, it may be in the City's best interest to relieve GDC of its obligations in return for certain GDC assets within the City. The enclosed memorandum details GDC's obligations, essential contract elements and potential assets. At this time, the staff requests direction from the City Council before proceeding with future negotiations. RECOMMENDED ACTION Review the City's position with respect to GDC and its responsibilities and obligations within the City. City of Sebastian POST OFFICE BOX 780127 n SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32978 TELEPHONE (407) 589-5330 n FAX (407) 589-5570 M E M OR A H D U M DATE: TO: FROM: RE: January 29, 1991 W. E. Conyers, Mayor & Sebastian City Council Robert S. McClary ~~ '*~--~¢~,--.-~ General Development Corporation On January 16, 1991, I met with officials of General Development Corporation ("GDC") to discuss a possible agreement between GDC and the City. Representing GDC at this meeting were:George Kulczycki, Ralph "Cap" Cain and Jack O'Neil. Representing the City were: Randy Mosby and Bruce Moia, who were the engineers that did the cost analysis of the GDC liabilities, and myself. The effect of an agreement would be to relieve GDC of its obligations under the terms of an agreement between the City and GDC in 1979. ~CXGROUND On April 6, 1990, General Development Corporation filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws. Since that date, GDC has been unable to meet its obligations under the terms of the 1979 agreement. That agreement outlined procedures for the City to accept infrastructure (streets and drainage structures) constructed by GDC and also required GDC to maintain certain improvements and to construct others. Since that time, the City, in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of its citizens, has made emergency repairs to street and drainage structures in Units 16 and 17, Sebastian Highlands. In order to assist GDC in its efforts to reorganize under Chapter 11, to continue to protect the public interest both short term and long term and to ensure that the City is properly compensated it would be prudent for the City to enter into an agreement with GDC. By relieving GDC of its obligations, the City would assume responsibility for the maintenance of infrastructure (streets and drainage) built to-date. However, it must be understood that the City. is~ot,.'assuming GDC's responsibilities under the 1979 ..agreement, (Example: GDC is required to construct certain seawalls along the Elkcam Waterway at an estimated cost of $1.2 million. The city may choose to construct the seawalls, or to install rip rap, or to do nothing.) The point is that the City of Sebastian is not a developer and must make no pretense that it is to assume GDC's civil liabilities, responsibilities, representations or promises. Under no circumstances is the City committing to construct streets or drainage structures in portions of Units 16 or 17 which are platted but not improved. ESSENTIAL CO~TRACT EL_~M~NTS In order for the City to properly maintain street and drainage structures constructed by GDC, we must have the necessary property rights to the real property containing these improvements. Generally, the filing of a subdivision plat would provide the proper public dedication of easements and rights-of- way for street and drainage facilities. However, through the years GDC has converted residential lots, "park" tracts and other parcels from their intended use to house drainage structures. In most cases, this was done in order for GDC to meet it's permitting requirements for storm water management. The parcels listed on "Exhibit A" must be conveyed to the City if we are to maintain the retention ponds or other drainage structures located on this property. Further, the conveyance of this property should not be considered "assets", since they are an intricate part of the drainage systems. Included with "Exhibit A" are the following: A - i List of 116 residential building lots and 3 "tracts" converted to drainage parcels in Unit 17. Please note that Tract "H", Block 574 and Tract "O", Block 593 are "designated" parks. A - 2 McClary Letter to GDC, dated 01/07/91, requesting easement assignments for drainage easements granted by Shiloh Youth Ranch, Inc. and Gulf Stream Council, Inc., Boy Scouts of America. A - 3 List of parcels in Unit 17 converted to drainage use. (Not included in McClary letter dated 11/30/90) Please note that these tracts are "designated" parks. A - 4 Lots necessary for access to a drainage control structure ( an earthen dam) on the Elkam Waterway. A - 5 A Unit 16 tract converted to drainage. note that this tract is a "designated" park. Please Additionally, GDC must deed the remaining parcels for Hardee Park. This should not be considered as an "asset" since this is a "dedicated" park and GDC simply failed to convey this parcel prior to filing for bankruptcy. There is a difference between "dedicated" and "designated" park tracts.

One of easements is from Shiloh Youth Ranch, Inc., and the other is from the Gulf Stream Council, Inc., Boy Scouts of America. It appears that this property is necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of much of the drainage system for the Sebastian Highlands. It would seem logical, since most of the drainage improvements were accepted for perpetual maintenance by the City pursuant to the 1979 agreement with General Development Corporation, that these easements should be assigned to the City of Sebastian. Therefore, I shall appreciate you initiating action to have the proper legal instruments written to effect an assignment of these two (2) easements. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. you have questions, will you please call? Should Sincerely, Robert $.

HcClagy: 'As requested~ we have completed our on-site inspection and review oi the existing roadway and drainage conditions of Units 16 and 17 of the Sebastian Highlands. The purpose of our inspection Has to determine the extent of the deteriorated roadways and drainage and to develop a cost estimate for the repair or replacement of the roadways and drainage structures, Our inspection included the following items: I. Unit 16 a. Inspection of the existing roadways. b. Inspection of the existing roadway curb and gutters. c. Inspection of the existing drainage ditches. General inspection of the existing drainage culverts and structures. II. Unit 17 inspection of the existing roadways. An inspection of the newly completed portion of Unit 17~ located in the southeast section of Unit 17, was not com- pleted. November 30, 1990 Page 2 b. Inspection o[ the existing roadway swales. c. Inspection of the existing drainage ditches. Inspection of the existing drainage culverts and III. glkcam Waterway We performed a general inspection of the Elkcam Waterway to determine the extent o[ the seawall that has not been constructed to the west of the Sebastian Ilighlands. We have provided an estimate of the construction of Elkcam Waterway drainage control structure. Since we have not been provided with construction details of the drainage overflow structure~ the construction cost estimate is sub- ]ect to change. iV. Wentworth Street pgainaq~ Ditch It is our understanding that the Wentworth Street drainage ditch has been constructed in the wrong location. Ne inspected the ditch to determine what would be required to relocate the ditch and the cost of the improvements, It should be noted that no inspections were performed areas where the roads have not been constructed. in the We have previously submitted, to your office, the following documents detailing the findings of our on-site inspections= Three (3) copies of drawing Sheet 1 of 3 detailing the lo- cation of the existing drainage culverts and structures, within Unit 16 and the older portions gE Unit 17. Three (3) copies of drawing sheet 2 gE 3 and 3 gE detailing the location of where our construction photo- graphs were taken and a listing o[ what the photog:aph depicts fo~ Unit 16 and Unit 17 respectively. One (1) set of four {4) aerials of Units 16 and 17 in ~hich we have noted the drainage ditches which require improvements, An album of photog=aphs taken during our on-site inspec- tion. Hr. Robert B. HcClaty Hovembet 30, 1990 Page 3 The following is a 9enexalizatlon of our findings= I. Unit 16 The overall condition of Unit 16 is fairly 9ood. All the roadways require resutfacing with at least one inch (1") of asphalt. There ate some locations which require repair to the base and subgrade. Bince the drainage collection system consists of curb and 9utter and drop lnlets~ we were unable to determine the condition of the underground culvert pipes. the curb and gutter requires cleaning and removal weeds. Ali drainage ditches require cleaning out. II. Uni~ 17 He recommend that all the streets, roadway swales and drainage structures be replaced and regraded within the older portion of Unit 17~ south of Elkcan Haterway. The roadways of the portion of Unit 17, n°rth of glkcan Hater- way are constructed with curb and gutter and are in fairly good shape. He have nob included the entire replacement of the drainage culverts in out cost estimate for this portion of Unit 17 except for the d£ainage structures that need immediate repair. The following is a list of the streets~ along with their lengths that were inspected.

Often, a public works employee is needed after hours or on weekends to replace stop sign, remove glass from pavement as a result of an accident, make emergency repairs to City property, such as public rest room, to assist renters of the Community Center, remove tree limbs or other obstructions on City streets or to remove a dead animal from a City street. Additionally, the City parks, the Community Center and Yacht Club require some attention on weekends and holidays. The buildings must be inspected after each use and prepared for the next renter. Additionally, rest rooms in public parks need to be unlocked, inspected for working order, repaired if necessary, cleaned, and locked each night. Further, since the heaviest use of the City parks and visitations to the Cemetery are on weekends, these areas should be inspected, litter picked up and trash cans emptied. Further, flags should be displayed on City owned flag poles on weekends as well as working days. (Please note that flying the American flag at the Yacht Club also serves as a navigation aid.) On many holidays, in addition to those responsibilities required for weekends, American flags are to be displayed in the medians of U. S. #1. Additionally, since the Police Department is open twenty-four hours per day, those rest rooms need cleaning and waste paper baskets need emptying. ~/,~ In order to respond to the needs after hours, on weekends and holidays, we propose a system of "Weekend Duty". On a rotation basis, all maintenance employees of the Public Works Department would be assigned to weekend duty. Excluded would be the Mechanics, Engineering Technician and Clerical. When assigned to weekend duty, that individual would be assigned a pager, City radio and City pickup truck and would be on an on call basis from Monday through Friday. This would be the individual called out, generally by the Police Department~ to respond to call out requests such as, dead animals, broken glass, downed stop sign, etc. This employee ( if he resides within the City limits) would be authorized to use the City assigned vehicle for such call out requests. On the following Saturday and Sunday (or any holiday which falls within this seven (7) day period) the employee would perform a specific list of responsibilities. Generally, the employee would perform these responsibilities on two occasions each day - first for approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes in the early morning and second for approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes in late afternoon. Compensation to the employees would be in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Except for holidays, we propose to compensate the weekend responsibilities with compensatory time off the following Thursday and Friday thus providing a four (4) day weekend for the employee after his weekend duty week. Compensation for call out responsibilities in the evenings are in addition to the assigned times on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays would be compensated on an over time basis as required by the union contract. The assignments to weekend duty would be scheduled well in advance and each maintenance worker, since we have approximately twenty (20) positions in Public Works, would be assigned weekend duty twice each year. A weekend duty policy would provide the City with an assigned and available individual for responding to after hour calls and providing necessary services on weekends and holidays. RECOMMENDED ACTION Review weekend duty concept and direct staff as appropriate.

I've recently evaluated two situations where volunteers may be used in City service. One area is that of operating City owned equipment to perform mowing operations on City right-of-way. The other opportunity is for "inside" volunteers at the Police Department. These volunteers would assist the Communication Technicians in answering the telephone, help with data entry and records, and work with community service programs such as neighborhood crime watch. We have reviewed this request with Mr. Brad Clark, who works in the risk management area of the Florida League of Cities. The City participates in the Florida League of cities insurance pool, which provides coverage for general liability and workers' compensation. Generally, volunteers are covered by general liability, errors and omissions, and workers' compensation insurance. A program as contemplated by chief Earle Petty, for "inside" volunteers poses little risk to the City. However, Mr. Clark highly recommends that the City not proceed with using volunteers to operate City equipment and stated that he would consider such a program very poor risk management. RECOMMENDED ACTION I recommend that the city Council direct staff to write departmental policies for'the Police Department to provide for "inside" volunteers to assist in clerical, communications, records and community service programs. I further recommend that the City not proceed with implementing a program of volunteers operating City owned equipment.

McClary, City Manager City of Sebastian 1225 Main Street P.O. Box 780127 Sebastian, FL 32978-0127 Re: Delinquent License Collections from Insurance Companies Raymond C, Sittig Executive Director Dear Mr. McClary: i have recently spoken with the City Clerk, Ms O'Halloran, concerning our program of collection of delinquent license taxes. She explained that the City was considering a change in the occupational license ordinance on insurance companies, but she had not yet heard from the City Attorney. However, upon reviewing your ordinance, we find that there is really no need for a change. According to the most recent copy we have on file, Insurance and Bonding Companies are taxed at $20.00 per year. Since this provision was increased from $10.00 in accordance with State law (Section 205.042), at this time you are charging the maximum authorized by the legislature. I believe the proposed ordinance which Ms. O'Halloran showed me included an increase of this fee to $50.00. She explained the change was based on a model ordinance furnished by Satellite Beach. Therefore, since your ordinance is valid, has the correct language, and charges the appropriate fee, you may proceed with collections from insurance companies. Ms. O'Halloran expressed an interest in utilizing the service provided by the League to collect these delinquent and escaped taxes and she suggested that I contact you for approval. Please find enclosed two copies of the Agreement with the League. If you would like for the League to provide this service, have both copies signed and returned to our office. We will then sign them and return one to you for your file. If you or any city official have any questions, please let us know and we will be happy to help any way we can. Thank you for your interest in our program and we look forward to serving your city. Sincerely, Russell F.

Sox 780127 Sebastian, FL 32978-0127 Re: Delinquent License Collections from Insurance Companies Dear Hr. HcClary: ~e appreciate your recent inquiry concerning the League's program for the collection of delinquent and escaped license taxes from insurance companies. For a number of years the League has had an agreement with a firm which has been en§a&ed in this work for many years, ge believe that it has been beneficial, productive, and it has recovered sizable amounts of lost revenue for our cities. Enclosed is a copy of an excerpt from the Florida League of Cities' Decagram of July 19, 1990 which lists funds paid to a number of the participating cities. Since we aggressively seek collections for any seven city every other year, typically we will have a year of substantial collections followed by a year of residual collections, which is seen in the different amounts .disbursed. Our work and research will be done without any expense to your city. Our consultants will periodically contact you or any designated person to secure a list of the insurance companies which have paid the license tax to your city in accordance with your ordinance. They will then proceed to research computerized data and other records and information they have compiled to discover companies which have operated in your city but have failed to pay the proper licenses for past years. At the present time the Statute of Limitations is three years. This will permit the recovery of lost revenue for thac period and place the companies on your records for future collections. After the necessary research, the companies which appear to be delinquent in license payments to your city are contacted by the League, requesting payment of the license or information to substantiate that the licenses are not due.

Agenda No. / Dept. Origin Community Development Date Submitted 1-30-91 For Agenda Of 2-06-91 Exhibits: Letter from Dr. Henry A. Fischer dated 12-21-90 EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: AMOUNT BUDGETED: APPROPRIATION REQUIRED: SUMMARY STATEMENT The original preliminary subdivision plat for San Sebastian Springs West was approved on October 28, 1987. On January 3, 1990, the Sebastian City Council approved a twelve (12) month time extension for the preliminary subdivision. The developer, Dr. Henry A. Fischer, has now requested another time extension of eighteen (18) months in order to submit for final plat. Since Dr. Fischer has had a proven track record in completing projects and has had several delays as outlined in his letter dated December 21, 1990, staff has no objection to granting a time extension for this project. RECOMMENDED ACTION Move to direct the City Attorney to draft a resolution for the requested time extension. RECEIVED DF.C 2 December 21, 1990 Mr. Bruce Cooper Director of Community Development 1225 Main Street Sebastian, FL 32958 REF: San Sebastian Springs Preliminary Plat Extension Mr. Cooper: At this time I would like to request an extension of 18 months on the preliminary plat of San Sebastian Springs. Construction is being done on the site and half of the road system has been completed. During this construction, in order to work with the governmental agencies involved (DNR, DER, St. John's River Management, U.S. wildlife), the project has been delayed. Due to the complexity of the northern project, Fischer Island, easements have been granted and construction has been delayed due to the eagle nest (at specified times of the year). This project is not one to be completed quickly or simply. Due to the complex structure of different roadways and construction elements, it does take a great deal of time to achieve an aesthetic development beneficial to residents of this community as well as the surrounding areas. San Sebastian Springs, along the east side of the river was started in 1973 and is not completely finished. The results of our efforts over the years has brought this community to a standard that exceeds any other development in Indian River County. Henry A.

Founded in 1982, N.O.D~ promotes full participation of America's more than 43 million men, women and children with disabilities in all aspects of community life. Its primary program is the Community Partnership Program (CPP). The CPP is a network of 2,400 towns, cities, and counties nationwide which carry out local initiatives designed to increase the dignity, acceptance and participation of people with disabilities. N.O.D.'s community partners undertake many activities. Some improve attitudes toward persons with disabilities; others expand educational and employment opportunities, address transportation needs or expand participation in recreational, social, or religious activities. Communities join as either 1) a ~ or 2) an affiliate. Full Partners are eligible to compete in our annual $25,000 cash awards program recognizing local programs and encouraging replication of model ideas, as well as receives our newsletter, REPORT and other materials. Affiliates receive REPORT, but may not compete for a cash award. To join, the chief elected official (mayor or county board chairperson) appoints a Representative to be a liaison to N.O.D. for a two year term or until a new appointment is made. Here Is What You Can Do... 1. Make an appointment to visit your chief elected official. Take this Designation Form with you. 2. If you learn there already is a Representative to N.O.D., get the nRme and contact that person without delay. Offer to help work for jobs, education, worship, social and cultural opportunities. Committee members set the goals for local programs and carry out activities. 3. If you learn your town, city or county does not belong to CPP, ask the official to appoint a person -- a private citizen or a public employee -- to be the community's Representative. Have the official complete, SIGN, and return the Form to N.O.D. Be sure to tell the official there are no fees for belonging! An information packet will be sent to the Representative by return mail. What Happens Next... 1. Once a community joins and becomes a partner, it usually forms a local committee composed of disabled and non-disabled persons. The committee meets regularly, sets its own goals, plans activities and meets regularly to monitor progress. Consider volunteering to organize the local committee and get started! 2. Telephone us at (202) 293-5960 with questions; we are here to help. How Your Community Benefits Through Its Partnership With N.O.D. Your community has access to our national Program Information Network (PIN). This computer-based referral system lists disability programs and can put you in contact with other Community Partners for mutual exchange of program information and support. You receive "how-to" materials and manuals as well as our quarterly newsletter, REPORT, with "Update" which highlights successful programs of other partners. Access to N.O.D.'s toll-free 800 number (1-800-248-ABLE) provides disability information as well as referral to other Partners. You have the opportunity to gain national recognition for your disability program(s) by competing in the annual awards competition. Isn't It Time To Get Involved?

McClary, City Manager City of Sebastian Charles Ian Nash, City Attorney ~-~/~'~'' Conflicting Charter and Code of Ordinance Provisions January 18, 1991 This memorandum serves to respond to Mayor Conyers' request for clarification about certain conflicting Charter and Code provisions. Pursuant to a previous request from the City Manager, I have undertaken a rather extensive review of the editorial analysis provided by the Municipal Code Corporation ("M.C.C."). It is my understanding that M.C.C. reviewed conflicts between the Charter and Code of Ordinances, as well as conflicts involving Florida Statutes. No mention of a conflict between Charter Section 2.06 and various Code of Ordinance provisions is included in the analysis of M.C.C. My review of same indicates, however, that such a reference should have been made. Though Section 2-15(b) of the Code of Ordinances provides for insertion of the terms "City Manager" in place of "Mayor" throughout the Code of Ordinances except with respect to the power to declare a state of emergency pursuant to Section 21-1 of the Code of Ordinances, such a provision does not operate to change the term "Mayor" as referenced in Charter Section 2.06. Said provision states that the Mayor shall sign all contracts, bonSs, debentures, franchises and official documents. As such, it is directly in conflict with Code of Ordinance Section 2-63 for one which references the term "Mayor" but pertains to the City Manager in accord with Section 2-15(b). Section 2-63 permits the City Manager to contract and in doing so could be construed to conflict with the exact language of Charter Section 2.06 which requires that the Mayor sign all contracts, etc. The conflict between the Charter and Code can be resolved properly only through an amendment to the existing Charter. In reviewing the M.C.C. analysis, my research has lead me to various opinions rendered by the Florida Attorney General's Office which are applicable to the present situation. In A.G.0. 79-80, the Mayor of Lake Wales questioned whether the City Commission may amend the City Charter without submitting the amendment to the electors of the City. The Attorney General responded in the negative stating that Subsection 166.031(1) of the Florida Statutes governs the procedure for such a revision. According to that subsection, the governing body of the municipality, by ordinance, or the electors of the municipality by petition signed by 10% of the registered electors, may propose an amendment to any section or all of the municipal Charter with the exception of that part setting out the municipal boundaries. A.G.O. 79-80 has been cited in recent years by the Attorney General's Office in A.G.O. Opinions 88-30 dated July 26, 1988 and 89-30 dated May 15, 1989. A.G.O. 89-30 utilized strong language in its emphasis that Subsection 166.031(1) must be strictly adhered to when addressing charter provisions adopted or readopted subsequent to the effective date of the Municipal Home Rule Powers Act which was July 1, 1973. The Florida Attorney General concluded his analysis in A.G.O. 89-30 by stating that "a legislative directive as to how a thing shall be done is, in effect, a prohibition against it being done in any other way." Amending Section 2.06 of the Charter will be necessary in order to remove the potential conflict that exists with certain provisions contained in the Code of Ordinances. Failure to do so leaves open the possibility of a challenge to procedures outlined in the Code as it now exists. In the event of such a challenge~ the Charter provisions would prevail in the same manner that constitutional provisions supersede statutory codifications. If you have any further questions upon your review of this memo, please inform me at your earliest convenience. In the meantime, I shall complete my review of the M.C.C. analysis to ensure that no other conflicts have remained unaddressed. CIN/clg CHARTER § 2.08 Sec. 2.06. Mayor.
