Minutes were approved at the Workshop City Council Meeting on January 6~ 1988. MayoY ~ ATTEST: City C~e~k 14 Re: Referendum It is not a secret that Sebastian has an airport. The airport was not built in the center of a residential area. The city was built to the south and and east of the airport. ^irport funds are generated From the aviation industry and rents From tenants on the airport property - including the golf course. We are not talking about the expenditure of tax dollars at the airport. We were elected as a city council by the voters of this city to act as a decision making body on behalf of the citizens. If it is your intent to change from a representative form of government to a referendum form whereby the voters make these deci¢ions for us, why are we sitting up here? We, the City Council, represent the voters of the City of Sebastian. As Harry Truman said: "IF you can't stand the :heat,'.get out of the kitchen." The buck stops here. If this council :persists in this referendum, then I feel the voters should also have a vote on how this council intends to spend the Million Dollar 'Line of Credit,' because that will be paid back with tax dollars. IF members of this council Feel they are not Capable of making decisions concerning the airport, then I feel that we, as a council, are not capable of making decisions for spending the million dollars which the voters were against in the first place. We have a great deal of work ahead of us in the next 2½ months on which we should be spending our time and energies... Charter changes and job description for the city manager, plans and studies for road and drainage and a multitude of related city problems. Should we spend our time preparing more referendums for the' voters to do our jobs for us? The Airport Advisory Board voted 7-1 against this referendum. ! intend to follow their advice. As tile Mayor requested of the council at last weeks meet,lng, I have given some thought to boat trailer parking in the City. As you know, we have two public boat ramps - one at Main Street and one at the Yacht Club. Council received drawings From Mr. Franko several months ago in which he laid out a parking area utilizing the parking lo% behind the Chamber Commerce building, which the City already owns, and the adjacent property to the north. This adjacent property is still on the market and I Feel the City should go Forward with an offer to secure this property, lhis particular downtown parking area would also benefit the City if and when ~he City takes over the Library building for a police station or whatever use the City determines. My idea For the second public boat ramp at the Yacht Club would also benefit Riverview Park. When the Park was built we made the mistake cfi not providing several important necessities - water~ proper rest room Facilities and parking. The parking which was designed and is currently being used requlres the vehicle to back out off the space against on-coming traffic. As traffic continues to increase, I flee], that this will need to be re-designed. What I am proposing will correct the parking for Riverview Park and also provide the needed off-street Parking. I have prepared a rough sketch showing the east 150' cfi the Park as a parking area. This could be Flipped and the west 150' next to US #1 could be used .instead. Using the east side would require that the existing gazebos and grills be relocated in the Park. The stand of australian pines and the capped well could be retained~in part, as landscaping. This could provide approximately 1 acre of parking and 2½ acres of Park. Parking spaces could be approximately 15' X 40' whlch would allow about ~0 spaces with a 70' drive thru. The riverFront on the east side of Riverside Drive could be reserved for parking after the sea wall has been installed and the erosion stabilized. Whether paving is mandatory so near the Indian River or a shell/marl surface could be used at both the Park and the Main Street parking area could be determined by this council. i believe this is a viable soluLion to the parking problem. It al}ows the use of both public boat ramps to be almost equally divided, provides safe, necessary parking at Riverviex Park and provides additional down[own parking For wbaLever use the City determines for the Library build.ing. \ /
