WORKSHOP ITEMS
A. Resolution l~o, R-95-33 - City Council Procedures (Excerpt ofR-95-3;3)
Mayor Cartwright recommended, at the suggestion of Harry Thomas, moving
quasi-judicial hearings from regular meetings to the first or third Wednesdays of
the month when needed and recommended this going into effect by October 1. It
was decided that a first reading of a rezoning or land use would be held at a
regular meeting. Following a brief City Council discussion, the City Manager said
he would report back on the advertising time requirements for different types of
quasi-judicial matters.
Mayor Cartwright recommended moving workshop start times to 6:00 p.m. Mr.
Halloran suggested changing the time of meetings to 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. City
Council discussion followed and it was decided that a 6:00 p.m. start time was
more appropriate.
Mayor Cartwright suggested setting a regular meeting stop time of 10:00 p.m.
with one automatic half hour extension if approved as required. Following City
Council discussion, it was decided to set the regular stop time to 9:30 p.m. if
regular meetings start at 6:00 p.m. and 10:30 if regular meetings start at 7:00 p.m.
due to a workshop being held at 6:00 p.m.
Mr. Halloran suggesting adding that all unfinished agenda items are carded to the
beginning of the next regular meeting agenda. City Council concurred.
It was the consensus of City Council to keep public input at ten minutes.
It was the consensus of City Council that a majority rather than unanimous vote be
required for extension of regular meetings.
Resolution/qQ, R-95-39 - Quasi-Judicial Proce~lures (Excerpt ofR-95-39,
286.0115)
Mayor Cartwright noted that the City Attorney and City Planner prefer quasi-
judicial procedures to be in the form of an ordinance and suggested that the
procedures be relative to all boards.
The City Attorney gave a brief presentation on an amendment to FS 286 relative to
testimony on land use matters by people who are not parties or party intervenors.

City Council Workshop
July 24, 1996
Page Three
She said those people are not required to be sworn in or subject to cross
examination.
She also explained that the legislature also passed a provision that in quasi-judicial
proceedings on land use matters, a person may not be precluded fi.om
communicating directly with a member of a decision making body by application of
ex-pane communications prohibitions.
She recommended that Council members continue to disclose ex-parte
communication at this time and that all people testifying be sworn in although not
be subject to cross examination.
Mayor Cartwright suggested that the information testimony section of the
procedures be at the front of the hearing procedures. The City Attorney and City
Council concurred.
City Council directed the City Attorney to draft a new ordinance relative to quasi-
judicial proceedings for land use matters and to redraft the current procedures into
ordinance form.
The City Attorney said she could make ex-parte communication a subject of a
future workshop and will provide further information.
96.151
C. Telecommunications Act Overview ffel.ql Letter 7/17/96)
The City Attorney discussed the procedures for informal and formal proceedings in
determining whether or not the City wants to establish or renew a franchise. She
said in formal proceedings technical and financial audits are conducted and
consumer evaluations are prepared, but in informal proceedings, the authority
negotiates a franchise agreement with the company. She said she and the City
Manager had reviewed a draft franchise agreement from Falcon in light of the
pending expiration of the franchise with the City and that she was drafting a
revised agreement and ordinance to send back to Falcon.
TAPE I - S~DE II (6:48 p.m.)
She requested input from City Council on which route it wished to take, noting
that formal procedures would require hiring an outside firm, and, whether City
Council wants to grant an extension of the current franchise while it reviews its
options.
City Council Workshop
July 24, 1996
Page Four
The City Manager noted that he will be requesting addition to the agenda of an
item to schedule workshops, two of which will be public forums on cable.
The City Attorney said the City Manager had received a rate increase notice from
Falcon and that the second issue to be addressed was whether or not the City
wanted to be active in the rate regulation process, noting that the City does have
the ability since it has been certified.
Vice Mayor Barnes asked if other companies had ever been solicited and the City
Manager noted that the current franchise is non-exclusive. Vice Mayor Barnes
said it might be worth a try to ascertain whether anyone else might want to come
in.
The City Attorney said these issues are time critical and following City Council
discussion, it was decided that the issues of formal or informal proceedings and
rate regulation would be added to the regular meeting agenda at that time.
Approved at the/~~
Being no further business, Mayor Cartwright adjourned the workshop at 7:13

TAPE II - SIDE I (9:00 p.m.)
Vice Mayor Barnes said he had contacted FPL and they had informed him they do not
want 18 wheelers on the road.
The City Attorney advised that more information needs to be obtained relative to the
length of time the grove has been there and the access has been used. She said she had
advised the City Manager that the sooner the property owner is notified that use of the
access is prohibited and are requested to cease the better.
The City Manager suggested the matter be deferred to the August 14 meeting to allow
time for further research of the property owners, and legalities of closing off access.
Mayor Cartwright suggested the property owners be notified as soon as possible and Mr.
Halloran suggested rather than putting up gates, police patrols be increased.
Julio Carosi, Police Community volunteer, said the road is used as a shortcut to Kildare by
police when needed.
The City Manager said he will try to have the review and report complete by August 14 or
soon at, er.

The City Attorney said she could have Attorney Feld give a presentation on rate
regulation at a workshop. She explained the procedures for rate review, which would
require the hiring of outside counsel. The City Manager said the very technical review
would probably require the services of a rate analyst.
The City Manager advised that further information and costs be obtained and that two
issues be addressed at the next meeting; 1) rate regulation - minimum cost of rate
regulation process versus the increased customer cost of a rate increase; 2) a decision
whether to go with the formal or informal process for franchise renewal and extension of
the current agreement. It was decided to also consider outside counsel costs at the next
meeting.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 24, 1996
TO:
Honorable City Council Members of Sebastian
FROM:
Thomas W. Frame, City Manager
SUBJECT: Addition to the Agenda Under New Business - Workshop Dates
In order for the Council to move forward with a number of future legislative issues, the Council
needs to conduct a couple of public forums associated with the Falcon Franchise Renewal and it
needs to consider a Workshop for the Buming Ordinance and for the presentation on the Stormwater
Conceptual Master Plan.
I will schedule on the Agenda of August 14th, at 6:00 p.m., a workshop to discuss the proposed
Burning Ordinance unless there is objection by the Council.
Relative to the public forums associated with the Falcon Cable Franchise Renewal, two forums are
being suggested approximately one week apart. It is recommended that the Council select one of
two days for August 21 st and 22nd and one of two days for August 27th and 29th, on which to
conduct the two public forums. The purpose of the forum would be to take public comment on the
issue of Falcon Cable T.V.'s Franchise Renewal.
Relating to the presentation from Craven, Thompson & Associates, Inc., on the Stormwater
Conceptual Master Plan, I would recommend that the Council select either August 8th or August
13th as the date on which to conduct that workshop. Inasmuch as this is a complex issue, public
input during that Workshop will be solicited.
I would appreciate very much if the Council would give direction to the staff on the selected
recommended dates for the listed Workshops.
