OPE~FORUM
The informal open forum provides an opportunio' for members of the public to make presentations to the City Council on
timely (having occurred within the last six months) issues appropriate to the CIO'. Presentations of five minutes will be
allowed, however, the time may be ew2ended to ten minutes if time allows by a majoriO' vote of CiO' Council. Personal attacks
on staff or Council will not be allowed. Sign-up sheets will be available prior to the meeting and sign-up will be required.
City Council will not take action on any matter at the forum.
Sal Neglia, 461 Georgia Boulevard, Sebastian, congratulated Council on conducting forums; and
objected to the owners of the Stevenson House using Cavcorp for parking vehicles and boats with no
tags and allegedly placing a bait shack in right-of-way.
The City Manager responded that a building permit was issued for the building as an accessory to
residential, it is not in the right-of-way, and the only problem may be that its intended use is as a git~
shop. He advised City Council to adopt rules for use of the Cavcorp property.
Robert Bebe, 278 Main Street, Sebastian, objected to the proposed access road to Collier Club PUD
through the Golf Course.
The City Manager responded that staff is reviewing whether there is any advantage to the Golf
Course by putting the road there.
Chuck Neuberger, 357 Melrose Lane, Sebastian, agreed that rules for Cavcorp need to be adopted;
and inquired about the Spates' offer of property to the City for additional cemetery space.
The City Manager responded that staff is gathering figures to come before Council, said it was
discovered that one piece is not in the City, and that the land is low which could present a problem.
Mayor Barnes suggested the use of forms that people can fill out to provide a paper trail through
resolution of a problem, and that he would meet with the City Manager on this.
Martha Wininger, 106 Thunderbird Drive, Sebastian, thanked Council for conducting forums and
said she hoped they will continue; and suggested property purchase contracts contingent upon
feasibility studies to freeze the price.
5. Being no further business, Mayor Barnes adjourned the Public Forum at 7:35 p.m.
