These funds are used for a number of programs to recognize the accomplishments and service of City employees. In the past, the city has spent up to $30.00 per employee for a Christmas Party. This year, I propose an allocation of $10.00 per employee to go toward an employee recognition banquet. At this event, the City will present service awards and "Employee of the Quarter" and "Employee of the Year" awards. The employees'guests, any entertainment, and any alcoholic beverages would be provided by the employee or through donations and would not be at City expense. In the past, these events have taken place at private facilities. This year, I am requesting use of the Community Center on December 5, 1992. Ail regular full-time and part-time employees (including members of the City Council) would be invited to this event. RECOMMENDED ACTION Move to approve the employee recognition banquet with an allocation of $10.00 for each employee and approve the use of the Community Center including alcoholic beverages for December 5, 1992.

Origin: Community Development (BC~ Date Submitted: 10/.~./92 For Agenda Of, Exhibits: 1. Memo dated 9/22/92 frog the Code Enforcement Board Secretary EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: AMOUNT BUDGETED, APPROPRIATION REQUIRED= SUMMARY STATEMENT The Code Enforcement Board believes that an ongoing problem of having vehicles parked obtrusively anywhere on residential lots can be corrected by'amending the parking and storage of automobiles section of the code to allow parking only in designated areas which are driveways or paved parking lots. Staff has concerns regarding this proposal for the following reasons~ The Land Development Code allows the parking of R.V's (motor homes, trailers and boats) anywhere on a residential lot providing the R.V. is placed behind the front building line. The proposal would allow a 36' motor home in the side or rear but not an automobile. Even though most new homes have concrete' driveways, the- Land Development Code does not require single family driveways on private property to be paved or concrete. Under this proposed amendment, residents would have to pave or concrete the sides and rear yards to have additional parking. How would the ordinance provide and be enforced to allow temporary parking of non-paved areas for the residents to allow guests and family members that are visiting. If the City Council is inclined to adopt this amendment, staff would recommend that this item be reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission for any additional comments. RECOMMENDED ACTION Review the request from the Code Enforcement Board.

Memo dated 10/06/92 from City Engineer EXPENDITURE REQUIRED, AMOUNT BUDGETED, APPROPRIATION REQUIRED, SUMMARY STATEMENT City Council requested staff to review the possibility of connecting Wave Street to South Fleming Street within Chesser's Gap Subdivision. The City Engineer has determined %hat the existing 50 foot right-of-way of Wave Street can be continued to South Fleming Street which would necessitate approximately 340 feet (in length) of property from Chesser's Gap Subdivision. The City Manager, City Engineer and myself met with Dr. Fischer, partner of Sebastian General Partnership, regarding the development and construction of Wave Street to South Fleming Street. Dr. Fischer's initial response was to sell the property at $1.25 per square foot (340 ft x 50 x $1.25 - $21,250.OO). This price was determined recently to be fair market value by Indian River County. After reviewing the benefits to the community as well as his project, Dr. Fischer agreed to donate the property, provided the City construct the street segment in a timely manner. Attached is a memorandum from the City Engineer indicating an approximate cost of $24,$00.00 to construct this roadway segment. After looking at Page 2 the City's overall circulation plan and discussing this item with our consultant, Kimley-Horn, staff would recommend the City proceed with the construction of Wave Street. Staff would also advise the City Council that the subdivision owners and the City would request impact fee credits from Indian River County for this project. RECOMMEN,DED ~CTION Move to authorize the City staff to finalize negotiations with Sebastian General Partnership to obtain the additional right-of-way for Wave Street and to proceed with the engineering in house by the City Engineer.

Eckis, P.' City Engineer/Public Works Director RE: Wave Street As requested the cost estimate for the extension of Wave Street for 24 feet of pavement, 340 feet long would be approximately $11,000. The cost includes construction stake out, rough grading, 8" of stabalized base, 6" of limerock and 1 1/2" of asphalt. If curbing were to be included add approximately $4,000. Without a design to determine drainage cost, I would estimate approximately $9,000. Please note that this does not include a survey of the property or proposed right of way boundary that would be necessary. The cost for this survey should not exceed $500. Therefore, it is anticipated that the construction of Wave Street with surveying, curbing and all design work done in house that the cost should not exceed $24,500. wave.doc City of Sebastian POST OFFICE BOX 780127 D SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32978 TELEPHONE (407) 589-5330 D FAX (407) 589-5570 SUBJECT=Water & Sewer - GDU Negotiations Approved for Submittal By: City Manager Agenda No. qJ. q,//q.

The effect of the acquisition would not only to be to purchase the physical facilities owned by GDU but also to terminate the GDU Franchise covering all seventeen units of the Sebastian Highlands and which has a remaining time period of approximately nineteen years. Considerable engineering and legal work is necessary to effect the acquisition of the systems and termination of the franchise. Included in engineering would be analysis associated with developing a finance plan in obtaining necessary capital, preparing rate and charge studies, establishing tariff, establishing policies and procedures, establishing rules and utility standards, providing policies and procedures, .providing technical services in the transition of the facilities and in filing applications with the Farmers Home Administration for grant or loan financing. Additionally, legal work for negotiations, preparation of a purchase and sale agreement, closing the sale and providing title insurance are necessary legal expenses. The attached proposals indicate an estimated legal expense between $75,000 and $100,000 and a maximum engineering expense of $50,000 for this phase.

Box 780127 Sebastian, Florida 32978 Utility Negotiations, Farmers Home AdminiStration Grant Punding, Finan~ and Transition Activities Dear Mr. McClary: This letter constitutes our proposal to the City of Sebastian to perform negotiations with General Dev¢lopment Utilities, Inc. (GDU) outside of the scope of the 180.301 hearing project. Moreover, we will provide financial analyses associated with developing a finance plan and working with the City's staff in obtaining necessary capital, preparing rate and charge studies, establishing a tariff, establishing policies and procedures, establishing rules and utility standards, establishing policies and procedures forms and other associated activities with the establishment of a City owned and operated water and wastewater utility. Moreover, Hartman & Associates, inc. (HAI) will provide additional services relative to the transitioning of the facilities and operations to the City, as well as the other activities necessary to provide for full- scale operations. The overall scope and activities associated with the above work is dependent upon the extent of the negotiations and the type of contract that can be negotiated between the parties. Therefore, we can only propose that authorizations with an up-set limit be established for the activities as they proceed. Our cost would be incurred on an hourly rate basis with an up-set limit. We propose that the up-set limit for the above referenced activities be established at $50,000.00. The up-set limit referenced above also includes whatever assistance-we need to perform' regarding closing and due diligence associated therewith. We have provided the consideration of hourly rates which are lower than our previous rates in accordance with our discussions. The hourly rate schedule to be used for this contract is as shown in Exhibit "A". We consider the above referenced activities as the cost of acquisition and would expect that such costs would be reimbursable to the City using the debt instrument as chosen by the 201 EAST PINE STREET · SUITE 1000 · ORLANDO, FL 32801 TELEPHONE (407) 839-3955 · FAX (407) 839~3790 PRINCIPALS: JAMES E.

There are five ma]or tasks included in that proposal as follows: 1. 8, 1992, Which are Negotiation, preparation and consummation of purchase and sale agreement; Issuer's Gounsel work for any bond iesue? Real est&re closing work, including preparation of all necessary documents to conommate the ~ransaction; 4. Issuance of title insurance policy plus title research · work; and 5. Preparation of all necessa~7 r~gulatory ordinances 'including rate ordinance, extension and sale policy ordinance, wastewater pretrea=ment ordinance and standard agreements. I can tell you from experience that it is impossible to accurately eltima~e the amount of time that wall be involved in bringing this deal to fruition. While Gerryand I bo~hbelievethatGDU wants to negotiate, completion or.he purchase and sale agreemen=s for wa~er and sewer systems historically show & number of periods where the Robb HcCla=~ October 9, 1992 Page 2 agreement is "on again, off again.' Preparing for and consummating the closing in all of the documents necessary for the real estate portion of ~he agreement can also be quite lengthy and. differ significantly from no=real real estate transactions. Should a bond issue be done, legal review will have to take pla~e of the engineer' s report, the official s~atement, and other bond be .appr°ximatelY $10,000. Finally, ~here are a. number of ordinances which will need to be prepared in conjunction wi~h the rate study in order to set up the proper r~gulator~ framework.' I am hopeful ~hat we can accomplish all this for leos than the estim?ted expense that I ..have. given per=aLva that the Counczl is not in=crested in h~ving its acquisition team going bask for more money after we get started in this process. I believe that the number i have given you is a reasonable estimate given the uncertainties of this transaction but also covers a significant amount of work.

Crews, Superintendent of the Indian River County Correctional Institution, please be advised that I cannot approve the language contained in paragraph 11 of Part II of the proposed Inmate Labor Agreement dated October 1, 1992. Paragraph 11 (set forth on page 3) requires the City of Sebastian to indemnify and hold the Florida Department of Corrections harmless from certain claims, suits, judgments or damages. It is my opinion that a municipality cannot provide an indemnification and hold harmless to other persons, organizations or entities.

Currently, there is one (1) full-time Administrative Assistant and one (1) part-time Administrative Secretary in the City Manager's Office. Rather than two (2) part-time positions in the City Manager's office and one (1) full-time position in the Utilities Department, I am requesting that the existing part- time position in the City Manager's office be converted to full- time and that the budgeted full-time position in the Utilities Department be converted to two (2) part-time positions. The Utilities Department, with one (1) clerical position, does not provide for redundancy or backup. Therefore, with only one (1) full-time position, there is little flexibility in scheduling, covering lunch periods, providing for a smooth transition due to turnovers or providing for coverage for vacations, sick leave, etc. Further, the Utilities Department needs to be flexible in this initial year and two (2) part-time positions could provide flexibility with scheduling, hours could be adjusted to compliment workload (either up or down) and the positions could ultimately be converted to full-time as the department grows with trained personnel in place. With two (2) individuals currently in the City Manager's office, we have the necessary redundancy and backup built in. Converting from part-time to full-time to meet workload would be consistent with the full-time positions of other administrative departments such as, City Clerk, Finance, Community Development, Police Department, etc. ~.2~ RECO~NDED ~CTION Move to authorize two (2) part-time Clerical Assistant II positions for the Utilities Department in lieu of the one (1) full-time position budgeted and to authorize a conversion of an existing part-time Administrative Secretary in the City Manager's Office to a full-time Administrative Secretary in lieu of two (2) part-time Administrative Secretary positions.

Expenditure Amount Appropriation Required: $4,583.40 Budgeted: -0- Required: $4,583.40 SUMMARY STATEME~ Through the course of collective bargaining, all employees covered by union contracts continued to have their group health insurance premiums paid by the City. At the same time all unlimited time status personnel received a 2 1/2 % ram of pay increase, but the city stopped paying dependent health insurance premiums. Because the contracts were not settled until a much later date, union employees received value of having all of their insurance premiums paid but did not receive the 2 1/2 % pay increase. In all cases, the value of the insurance premiums were greater than the pay raise. It was not the intent of the City Council to provide different benefits to different groups of employees. To remedy this, unlimited time status employees should be reimbursed the amount of dependent insurance premiums less the 21/2 % raise the bargaining units did not receive for the first six months of Fiscal 92. All contracts · were ratified effective or retroactive to April 1, 1992, or six months into the year. The calculation of the reimbursement is as follows: 69 Cents per hour x 1,(M0 hours (6 months) = $717.60 (amount of dependent insurance premiums). This figure less the amount of the raise received for the period October 1, 1991 to March 31, 1992 is the recommended reimbursement. RECOMMENDED_....

Memo dated 10/O5/92 from Robert McClary 2.Memo dated 10/O6/92 from Catherine Hilton EXPENDITURE REQUIRED, AMOUNT APPROPRIATION BUDGETED: REQUIRED: SUMMARY STATEMENT In 1988, the City Council adopted and funded the position of City Planner. One of the main emphasis and justification for this position was to have the ability to apply and administer grants for the City of Sebastian. In light of the weak economy and the lack of grants, staff recommends the funding for the City Planner be eliminated for the fiscal year of 1992-93. Staff believes that a need exists in the Community Development Department for a technical and administrative position to assist the department head in the administration of the Land Development Code and implementation of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, we respectfully request that City Council review, in the future, a new position, such as "zoning administrator". As evidence of the attached exhibits, staff has tried to provide a smooth transition for the existing City Planner. RECOMMENDED ACTION Move to discontinue funding for the City Planner position for the fiscal year of 1992-93. Robert $. McClary from C. A. Hilton October 6, 1992 Page 2 tn the event that City Council opts to protect the position as budgeted for FY 1992 - 1993, this advance acknowledgement of my anticipated layoff becomes void. Meanwhile, the terms mentioned in your memorandum regarding my layoff from the position I now hold as City Planner appear satisfactory- As a point of clarification, I restate that you offer one month'S severance pay, and add my expectation that ~Y accrued, but unused leave and holiday time shall be justly compensated. You Indicated that the City will not challenge any unemployment compensation claim I may make. I also accept that as a condition of the layoff. I extend my thanks to you for the experience I have gained through employment within the comfortable environment of the City of SebaStian, one In which the employees demonstrate their consideration for each other. The time with you and the Commulty Development Department has had it rewards and pleasures, and I feel that I have been privileged to serve the City of Sebastian. /cab cci Bruce Cooper, Director of Community Development City of Sebastian POST OFFICE BOX 780127 D SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32978 TELEPHONE (407) 589-5330 r~ FAX (407) 589-5570 MEMORANDUM DATE; October 9, 1992 TO: Mayor and City Council THROUGH: Robert S. McClarY~0 ~:~ City Manager ion ,.-~_~ FROM: Planning and Zoning Commissi RE: Funding of City Planner Position At their Special meeting held on Thursday, October 8, 1992, the Planning and Zoning commission made the following motion. A motion to recommend to City Council that the position of City Planner be retained. The comments of the members are as follows: Mr. Goldstein: "There is a phase that God is in the details I don't know who said that but I agree I haven°t been here very long but I can tell you that without professional assistance, we on the Planning Commission are going to have some of those details drop by the wayside and therefore, would urge the rest of the Commissioners to support retaining the position of the City Planner and lets keep the details in our code. Mr. Shroyer "Basically the City Planner and the City Engineer have made our job a heck of alot easier they have also picked up on a lot of items that have been dropped along the wayside over the past seven or eight years and for those two reasons alone I think it is worthwhile keeping her. I may not agree 100% with you but" Mrs. Kilkelly states "I would like to say to me that the City Planner has provided us with guidance, not just made our jobs easier but has provided us with guidance, and also given us some visibility of what we do in the future, therefore, I feel it is necessary to retain the job and more specifically to retain the City Planner that we have. Mrs. Damp,"I previously spoke Cathy your were not here, but I previously spoke at the very beginning of the meeting would you like me to restate my concern" Chairman states Please. "I too feel that a City Planner in the caliber of Miss Hilton she has been our liason, the one we turn to for guidance, and helping us do our job and who would we have to do this work behind the scenes if it were not for someone like herself. I cannot visualize how we could do our job without someone like you, like her to do this for us and it seems like our job would almost be impossible without the City Planner" Mr. Thompson, "Well, I'll express mine, I already have that think we need a City Planner and I do not agree that we should be discontinuing the funding for the City Planner position." Mr. Shroyer: "Many of these things that are being discussed are part of the job of City Planner and being part of the job I don't think we can do much more then say she has been doing an outstanding job on those perticular functions and her other .accomplishments as far as going out and getting Grants and a few additional items are appreciated by the citizens of the City of Sebastian and since she has come on board she has acquired quite a few grants and has done many o£ the things that have not been done in the past and that a loss of her and that position over the next couple of years would probably cost us £ive to ten times the amount that it would cost us to retain her in her present position. This being the case that the Planning and Zoning Commission feels that she should be retained due to the fact she is providing additional funds for the City and without her or someone to do it the City would be losing out on a considerable amount · of money and grants" "Mrs. Damp states her legal ease of understanding Government policy and rules and regulations is certainly ve'ry worthwhile and needed in our job and as well as other government jobs in the City." Mr. Goldstein "Mr. Chairman I don't really think that we can separate the individual from the position, perhaps it is possible but I don~t think in this case it is and I would move that Mr. Shroyers eloquent statement that he just made be presented to the next city Council meeting, although we do have a motion on the table. So perhaps, i move to amend the previous motion to incorporate Mr. Shroyer's statement and forward it to the Council." planner.doc City of Sebastian POST OFFICE BOX 780127 D SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32978 TELEPHONE (407) 589-5330 [] FAX (407) 589-5570 SUBJECT: ) REQUEST FROM TINA HAWKS TO UTILIZE ) RIVERVIEW PARK ) Approved For Submittal City Manager ~' Agenda Number= Dept.

The proposed fair is to be a fund-raising project for the Southeastern Guide Dog School. After reviewing Section 18-2 of the City Code of Ordinances regarding the prohibition of dogs or other domesticated animals within the public parks and public recreation facilities of the City, the City Attorney has opined that the City Council would not be able to approve this request without amending the code due to the prohibition. Further, the Sebastian River Art Club has scheduled February 21st as a rain date for an art show. If the City Council is inclined to allow such a fund-raiser to be conducted within the public parks, staff recommends the City Attorney be directed to amend Section 18-2 of the Code of Ordinances.
