Public Sector Services Manager George Geletko will therefore now officially serve as the City of Sebastian's representative regarding both the Franchise Agreement and operations/service delivery in the community. Mr. Geletko has also agreed to work with the Offices of the City Manager and City Attorney to compile an invoice that is appropriately structured and written to initiate a formal claim against Capital Sanitation's surety (performance bond) company, XL Specialty Insurance of Schaumburg, Illinois. Invitations and invoices for subscription service to begin July 1st will be mailed to all Sebastian residences beginning this weekend, to include delivery of the previously discussed service guide for garbage and yard waste. Riverview Park Twin Pier Final EnRineerin.q Drawin.qs Per interest expressed during Wednesday evening's meeting, enclosed are personal copies of the Riverview Park Twin Pier and shoreline stabilization engineering plans to govern improvements accordingly. Drawings were compiled by incorporating direction as offered during a City Council meeting held earlier this year after a presentation by the Department of Engineering that outlined permit requirements as ordained by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Army Corp of Engineers. The north structure, to serve as the pedestrian recreation pier will be 498 feet long, 4 feet wide and will include a 10 x 50 foot deck at the east end. The south City Council Information Letter May 30, 2003 Page 2 pier, to also function as a boat dock will be 447 feet in length, 4 feet wide, and to also include 8 slips to accommodate 16 vessels up to 26 feet long. In addition, authorization was granted to implement 340 feet of shoreline restoration and stabilization in the immediate vicinity. The formal bid solicitation process to invite interested construction firms was successfully initiated earlier this week. As previously reported, recommendations to commission construction activities are anticipated to be offered during your June 25th session. Desire for Powerline Road Resurfacin.q Pro.qram As reported some time ago, the Indian River County Department of Public Works has initiated movement to begin a resurfacing program to benefit Powerline Road south of Barber Street meandering outside the city limits. As the thoroughfare continues to experience more traffic, the lives of residents in the immediate vicinity are disrupted as a result of dirt, sand and dust that circulates. An initial strategy offered by Indian River County Director of Public Works Jim Davis involved acquisition of property from private homeowners to accommodate construction. However, every property owner solicited denied interest to sell. However, a meeting that recently took place here at City Hall with Mr. Davis yielded an alternative idea to work with the Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) to relocate power lines from east side of the thoroughfare to the west. This arrangement would be just as effective in terms of providing enough additional property to implement proper construction and resurfacing techniques. As such, a meeting will take place here again in my office Monday June 2nd with Mr. Davis, as well as with officials from FPL to discuss possibilities accordingly. Hopefully, FPL will be amenable to working with Indian River County in this regard. Such a position would be very popular with Sebastian residents in this area, as the necessity for additional property acquisition would be minimized tremendously. Sebastian River Landin.q Layout Plan Renderin.q As City Council recently authorized annexation of unincorporated property just southeast of the County Road 512 and 510 intersection to accommodate a proposed upscale residential development to be implemented by Fort Macaulay Development Consultants in the coming months, please be advised that both the Planning and Zoning Commission City Council Information Letter May 30, 2003 Page 3 and City Council will consider granting plat approval to govern development activities accordingly. I met with Forte Macaulay Vice President Tim Jelus earlier this week to discuss the platting process to actually begin next week during the June 5th Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. In an effort to outline lot and recreational amenity dynamics, Mr. Jelus was able to provide me with a copy of the attached Sebastian River Landing Layout Plan. More specific details regarding the plat approval process (i.e. size of homes, elevations, etc.) will be addressed publicly via respective meetings of the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. The outcome of next week's Planning and Zoning Commission session will better clarify staff's ability to schedule a presentation to City Council. 2003 G.R.E.A.T. Pro,qram Summer Schedule As the City of Sebastian was recently successful in securing a second consecutive grant award from the United States Department of Justice to once again sponsor and implement the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.)
