New Restroom Construction Completed After tremendous concern and frustration having been expressed during the last several weeks, I am pleased to report that construction of the all three City of Sebastian restroom facilities have been completed. Both the Barber Street Sports Complex and Hardee Park facilities actually became usable earlier this week (existing port-o-lets will be removed later today). As authorized during your meeting last week, it is anticipated that plumbing contractor George French will complete the new Yacht Club restroom water and sewer infrastructure within a few days. Our initial plan was to host ribbon cutting ceremonies to formally open all three facilities. However, a change of heart in this regard has transpired, as a three-month delay in completion of the projects has necessitated immediate openings. As City Engineer Ralph Brescia joked a couple of days ago, a good suggestion would be for individual patrons of all three facilities to host flushing ceremonies to celebrate this accomplishment. Whatever works! Next Phase of Street Resurfacinfl Pro.qram Recently, a number of citizens' anxiously awaiting implementation of street resurfacing in their respective neighborhoods has questioned both my office and Ralph Bresica about scheduled improvements. As such, I am providing you with the attached list of streets scheduled to be resurfaced during Fiscal Year 2001-2002. The improvement program involves the focus of concentrating on the worst streets first. Currently, approximately 80 streets fall under the category of "poor" condition. Some roads will require drainage improvements to adjacent swale areas, as well as infrastructure installation for the continuation of Phase 3 of the County's Water Expansion Program (to begin Monday, October 8th) prior to resurfacing. In addition, a recycled base application will be arranged for several other streets, as well as the County Road 512 alley within a few months. The Department of City Council Information Letter October 5, 2001 Page 2 Engineering is currently coordinating with Ranger Construction to outline respective timeframes for this year's overall program. Meetin.q with Skydive Sebastian Our meeting with representatives from Skydive Sebastian earlier this week proved to be quite productive. Essentially, interest on part of company representatives was expressed to eventually relocated their facility to the southside of Runway 9-27 (adjacent to designated future t-hangar locations). As such, we agreed to evaluate numerous alternatives in this regard, whereby a second meeting is anticipated to transpire within the next couple of weeks or so. Our goal at this time is to therefore resolve this issue prior to your consideration of adoption of the newly revised Sebastian Municipal Airport Master Plan. At this point, I am optimistic that this can be achieved. Stormwater Utility Credit Application As discussed during our various public sessions relative to the implementation of the stormwater utility, a credit application is now being made available for entities that have implemented private systems in an effort to reduce stormwater impacts citywide. Attached is a draft of the application for your information, as we anticipate a few to be submitted here at City Hall in the coming weeks. Please be advised however that additional background information may be required, primarily related data and numerous engineering related background as required by the St. John's River Water Management District prior to initiating respective construction activities. As such, the stormwater credit application is not applicable for just anyone! Main Street Railway Crossin.q Some of you may have noticed a sign installed earlier this week just west of City Hall noting the closure of Main Street at the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroad just west of United States Highway One (US 1). FEC will be rehabilitating the railroad tracks at this crossing from Monday October 8th through Wednesday, October 10th. During this time, Main Street will be closed from US 1 to Louisiana Avenue. Be advised also that the City of City Council Information Letter October 5, 200'1 Page 3 Sebastian will be charged expenditures by FEC for this project (Main Street being a municipal thoroughfare, as well as such an arrangement being governed by an existing agreement between FEC and the City of Sebastian). Recommendations in this regard are therefore anticipated to be submitted to you all in the coming weeks.
