Randall Tedder Construction - Sebastian Yacht Club Please be advised that Mr. Randall Tedder, Randall Tedder Construction, Inc. has initiated the necessary process to be filed as a registered/licensed contractor in the City of Sebastian. You will recall during your last regular meeting the contingent authorization granted for Tedder Construction to commence with improvements at Sebastian Yacht Club. As such, all efforts as discussed to implement this project Will commence, including procurement of the necessary permit from the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Upcomin.q Public Presentations City Hall Renovation Pro.qram and Skate Park Development As updates and discussions transpired relative to various projects over the last few months, please be advised that staff is currently making arrangements for public overview presentations for plans to renovate City Hall, as well as a revised site plan for the development of a skate park facility at the Barber Street Sports Complex (BSSC). A discussion will take place relative to the City Hall Renovation Program during your February 9th meeting; a second presentation relative to a revised site plan for a skate park during your February 23rd meeting, in an effort to address resident concerns while at the same time, finalize a construction/improvement program for the entire park. Although these will not be formal public hearings, both presentations will provide direction as to the City of Sebastian's planned course of action relative to making both proposals City Council Information Letter January 7, 2000 Page 2 reality. As such, both City Council members and residents will have an opportunity to learn about relevant logistics, as well as offer public endorsement if deemed appropriate. Early next week, a meeting will be scheduled with residents who reside near BSSC, to specifically discuss site plan revisions, with the hope of reaching full consensus. Proposed New Commercial Development in Sebastian Earlier this week, a meeting transpired with Mr. David Morse, Vice President, Boos Development Group, Inc. relative to a proposed commercial development in which a Publix Supermarket will serve as an anchor, to be located at the corner of United States Highway 1 (US1) and Barber Street. You may recall that only a portion of the respective property is located within the Sebastian municipal limits. As such, Boos Development has agreed to voluntarily begin the process to fully annex into the city proper, concurrently with the formal application procedure for authorization by the Planning and Zoning Commission and ultimately the City Council. For good measure, attached you will find a letter from Boos Development, Inc. and preliminary plat plan which briefly outlines the proposal. Airport Master Plan Consultants As referenced in the last City Council Information Letter, the City of Sebastian has begun the selection process for Airport Consulting Services. I am pleased to report that earlier this week, the City of Sebastian closed the Request for Qualification (RFQ) phase, with receipt of five (5) RFQs from well-qualified companies (reference list attached). The continued selection process will transpire over the next several weeks, to also coincide with delivery of the Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) to govern a $240,000 grant award from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Aviation Grant Program (recently reported to be delivered to City Hall within the next few weeks). Meanwhile, copies of RFQ packets from respective firms are available here in the City Manager's Office for initial review. Pressure Cleanin.q at City Hall Walkway Please be advised that during the week of January 10th, the City Hall walkway will be pressure cleaned. This may cause a parking inconvenience City Council Information Letter January 7, 2000 Page 3 for approximately one day at adjacent stalls. No public notice is required for this activity, as this is a general maintenance task. Schumann Drive Water Fountain Please be advised that the Schumann Drive Water Fountain is once again operational. As mentioned during your December 15th meeting, arrangements were to be made to solve any problems regarding said maintenance. It turns out that a billing error occurred with Florida Power and Light Company (FPL), resulting in temporary discontinued electricity service to the fountain. Once matters were clarified, FPL immediately restored powered to fountain, with no additional problems expected. Sebastian Municipal Airport Internship Pro.qram In effort to respond to concerns raised relative to enhancing staff presence at Sebastian Municipal Airport, arrangements have been made to recruit and retain a temporary part time employee to serve in an internship capacity. Sebastian resident and Florida Institute of Technology Honor Student, Jason Milewski will begin a 15 hour a week, several month tenure with the City of Sebastian this month (to work closely with Terry Hill). As we are in the midst of implementing improvement programs and master planning for the airport, additional assistance is warranted, particularly when the community has an opportunity to help a citizen develop professionally (and without additional costs). However, this does not change the fact that permanent personnel assignment is to be governed and justified by the community's airport plan. I will work to have Mr. Milewski meet all of you soon, perhaps at an upcoming City Council meeting. Footage Filmin.q at Skydive Sebastian Please find the attached letter as delivered by Mr. J.J. Johnson, General Manager, Skydive Sebastian. I asked him to furnish a letter explaining logistics associated with filming footage for the production of the movie "Cutaway". Sometime ago, discussions transpired whereby Paramount Pictures were considering shooting aerial scenes in the community. This arrangement came into being during the holiday season, in which it was agreed upon not to engage in any "full scale movie making". As such, no City Council Information Letter January 7, 2000 Page 4 City special permits, agreements and/or other formal arrangements are required, as Skydive Sebastian operations are to proceed as normal, Enclosures: Letter from Boos Development Group, Inc.
