98.086 5. Review Allegations of Possible Charter Violations (Yirininger Memo 3/27/98, Cartwright Letter 3/26/98)
The City Attorney addressed City Council fxom the podium, stressing the seriousness of the matter, relating
the result of the use of the forfeiture provision that is in the City's charter ( Section 2.09) by other
municipalities; and reiterated three suggested alternatives, as spelled out in her 4/7/98 opinion memo which
was distributed today (see attached). She strongly recommended if Council wanted to move forward and
pursue Mr. Smith's charges, it hire a special prosecutor; and cautioned against taking any public comment or
discussing anything about the substantive charges at this meeting.
Mr. Paul asked the City Attorney if it was advisable for the Mayor to relinquish the gavel to Vice Mayor
Wininger at this time. The City Attorney said there was no legal requirement to do so and it was up to the
Mayor to relinquish the chair.
Mayor Sullivan read a letter she had sent to the Commission on Ethics requesting an opinion on Don Smith's
allegations that she violated the City Charter; and read a statement in response to Mrs. Cartwfight stating that
she believed she had only a copy of the Comprehensive Plan for review and did not intend to'hold up
transmittal; and, in regard to her March 23, 1998 letter to the City Manager relative to Captain Hirams, gave
her reasons for writing the letter and then withdrew it.
Mrs. Cartwright said there was enough substantiation of the allegations, and in order of preference she would
go with alternative A and then B.
Mr. Neuberger concurred with alternative C, stating he believed the City Manager should be the one to make
the complaint if he chose to, since it was he who made the matter public.
MOTION by Neuberger/
I move that no further consideration be given to these matters.
MOTION died for lack of a second.
Vice Mayor Wininger said she had prepared a three page statement, however, would not read it at this time
due the City Attorney's advice. She said the matter should not be put under the carpet whether true or false,
and she will go along with the majority of the Council.
Mr. Paul said the truth must be sought and agreed with, in order of preference, alternative A and then B.
Mrs. Cartwfight clarified that she wanted the record clear that she did not make the allegations, she merely
requested a special meeting on behalf of a citizen. Vice Mayor Wininger said, for the record, that she did not
call a special meeting on the advice of the City Attorney.
MOTION by Paul/Cartwright
I would like to make a motion that the procedures of alternative B be the avenue, which is to file a
complaint with the Florida Commission on Ethics taking it out of the hands of the members of Council, and
abiding by the decision of the Florida Ethics Commission.

Mrs. Sullivan reiterated that she had sent a letter to the Commission on Ethics requesting an opinion.
ROLL CALL:
Mrs. Cartwright - aye
Mr. Neuberger - nay
Mr. Paul - aye
Mrs. Sullivan - nay
Mrs. Wininger - nay
MOTION FAILED 2-3 (Neuberger, Sullivan, Wininger - nay)
Vice Mayor Wininger asked the City Attorney her opinion as to what is the best alternative. The City
Attorney said the most objective is alternative is B, going to the Florida Commission on Ethics.
Mayor Sullivan asked Mr. Neuberger to restate his motion.
Mr. Neuberger said "my motion was no further consideration to these matters, i said earlier in the statement, I
believe Mr. Frame should be the party to make the complaint if he so desires since he chose to make this
matter public. I consider all I've heard thus far to be hearsay. These charges are alleged and like I said taking
no action does not in any way limit any party from filing a formal complaint."
At this time, Mayor Sullivan passed the chair to the Vice Mayor and seconded the motion, then took the chair
back. Mr. Paul protested her taking the chair back until the motion was complete in accordance with Roberts
Rules. The City Attorney said the chair should be taken back after the vote. Mayor Sullivan passed the chair
back to Vice Mayor Wininger.
Vice Mayor Wininger requested clarification and Mr. Neuberger reiterated his motion was to take no formal
action as recommended in alternative C. The City Clerk read verbatim from alternative C of the City
Attorney's memo.
Mr. Neuberger said by using this alternative, any other individual could make a complaint, but he did not
believe Council should be the charging party. Mr. Paul said Council as a body should file the complaint,
since it would create political pressure on the City Manager to have him do so.
ROLL CALL:
Mr. Neuberger - aye
Mr. Paul - nay

AGENDA MODIFICATIONS (ADDITIONS AND/OR DELETIONS)
Items not on the written agenda may be added only upon majority vote of City Council members (R-97-21)
The City Manager requested addition of a preliminary subdivision approval extension request for Vickers
Grove (see backup attached), for which a previous time extension was scheduled to expire today and was
received by him after publication of the agenda as New Business 15E. He said the code requires these time
extension applications to be submitted 90 days prior to expiration of the plat, and was informed that the
former City Manager had directed that if the developer was not notified by the City, the 90 days was not
applicable. He said he did not agree and had discussed it with the City Attorney, who advised that the 90 day
requirement can be enforced. He proposed that for any outstanding plat or other types of approvals for which
extensions can be given, all developers be notified one time of the 90 day application requirement and then it
is their responsibility to comply. The City Attorney said based on the City's past policy, enforcement of the
requirement cannot be used in this case, but for future applications it can.
MOTION by CartwrighffPanl
So moved.
Mr. Neuberger said he would like to see last minute additions to the agenda limited to emergencies.
The City Attorney advised that this matter was not quasi-judicial.

~;tatus Report - Wave Street Traffic Change (City Engineer Transmittal 4/1/98, Traffic Volume and
Speed Study Results)
The City Engineer said traffic volumes on Wave and George had decreased by approximately half,
but the speeds on George are relatively the same as they were before. She said no traffic counts have
been done for Strait Street.
Discussion followed on means to control speed on George Street such as stop signs, speed humps,
rumble strips, speed enforcement, installation of a blinking blind driveway sign on the curve, clearing
a portion of the vacant lot on the curve, posting of double fine signs, and equalizing speed limits in
the area for better enforceability.
There was a general consensus to open Wave Street, post signs, partially clear the lot and equalize or
decrease speed limits simultaneously. The City Manager said he would have to discuss the lot
clearing with the City Attorney.
Bob Ashcroft, 785 George Street, Sebastian, said it was never intended to open up Wave Street as a
public road; and recommended that another road be opened up for construction traffic out to Englar
to alleviate traffic on George.
TAPE II - SIDE I (8:45 p.m.)
Betsy Field, 149 Kildare Drive, Sebastian, stated that speed enforcement on George is the only
answer.
Tut Counelly, 149 Kildare Drive, Sebastian, agreed with speed enforcement and asked that Wave
Street be opened tonight.

Norma Damp, 309 Benedictine, Sebastian, recommended the lot be cleared and the traffic pattern be
left as it was.
The Chief of Police suggested that the City adopt a uniform speed City-wide to make enforcement
easier for his officers. Mrs. Wininger asked that speed limits be placed on the next regular meeting
agenda with a recommendation.
Jack Burklew, 801 Noah, Sebastian, agreed with the lot cleating and signage.
Richard Cronan, Rolling Hill and Coverbrook, Sebastian, said there is a worse speeding problem on
Rolling Hill.
Mr. Paul was excused from 9:00 p.m to 9:02 p.m.
MOTION by Cartwright/Wininger
I move to open up Wave Street to two way traffic provided that first, blind driveway caution
signs are placed and the shrubbery on the lots is brush cut.
The City Manager said staffwill go out and remove the one way signs and barricades as soon as
possible, possibly tomorrow. He said George Street signs will have to be made by staff.

Transmittal 4/2/98~
The City Manager said the Indian River County Commission agenda item on the Filbert Street matter
had been rescheduled to the commission meeting of April 14, 1998.
Discussion took place on the need for a traffic study for Filbert, asking Indian River County to look
at other parcels for the sports facility, lack of notification by the County, suggestion by the City
Attorney that Council give staff wording and direct staff to draft a resolution to submit to Indian
River County prior to April 14, strongly objecting to use of Filbert Street as a ballfield, a suggestion
that the City try to obtain the property, a suggestion that alternative locations be recommended to

Indian River County, and encouraging the county to form a study committee.
77, Joy Haven Drive, Sebastian, was concerned about use by women only.
John Ellis, 602 Rolling Hill Drive, Sebastian, questioned whether land near the middle school could
be used.
Bill Vrnazzani, Sebastian, concurred with Council's action tonight.
Mrs. Cartwright said "we could encourage them (Indian River County) to form the study committee
to scout out another possibility, to scout out another location for the proposed ballfield and playing
field. We could ask that they work in conjunction with the City to maybe scout another location and
form a partnership. Do you want me to make this a motion? Okay its a motion. Okay so that was
two things, for the City to form possibly, an option would be for the City to partner with them similar
to the Barber Street Sports Complex ..... and then be sure to put negative economic impact on an
established residential neighborhood and I'd like to really direct their attention away from that area.
Well we could say in the resolution that we prefer that property be used for a passive park not a
spectator sport." She went on to say that health, safety and welfare issues can be cited and impact on
quality of life in the area is another concern. Mr. Paul seconded the motion at this time.
VOICE VOTE carried 5-0
The City Manager said the resolution can be delivered to the County Commission.
Review R~,~olution No. R-97-21 City Council Meeting Procedures for Po~$ibl~ Revisions' (R-97-21)
Mrs. Wininger requested that City Manager Matters, City Attorney Matters, City Council Matters,
andlntroduction of New Business from the Public be moved to the front of the agenda.
Mrs. Cartwright suggested when City Council matters are not addressed due to lack of time, Council
can ask the City Manager as a matter of policy to place it at the beginning of the next agenda.
MOTION by Paul/Cartwright
I would go ahead and make a motion that we maintain Resolution R-97-21 the way it is with
the adoption of when we have Council Matters that need to be carried over to the next meeting that
they be brought to the very front and not forgotten about in any shape or form.
Mrs. Cartwright pointed out in the resolution that "a councilmember may make a motion, second a

motion or participate in discussion of a motion without relinquishing the chaff." She also noted that
in accordance with the resolution, an item under Introduction of New Business from the Public
cannot have occurred more than six months ago; and that any Councilmember can request a roll call.
The City Manager said the agenda is in the same format it was when he arrived, works well, however,
he would accommodate any suggestions unless he felt it to be an unfair accommodation to the rest of
Council.
Discussion continued on moving up Council items when necessary.
Mr. Neubergcr recommended that agenda items that are heavily attended by the public bc moved up
on the agenda; and asked the reason for the change from unanimous to majority vote for meeting time
extension. Mrs, Cartwright pointed out that thc last Council changed this and that any member is
free to leave if he so chooses.
Mayor Sullivan suggested the City Clerk could check with the audience on its purpose for attendance
and advise the City Manager. The City Clerk said items attended by people who have traveled some
distance have also been moved up in the past. The City Attorney pointed out that moving items on
the agenda may limit people from giving input.
