The City Manager said this is part of the City's economic development effort to do more

"economic development" and "retire Sebastian" websites.
Mr. Herlihy said this was a group effort with the assistance of Al Minner, Joe Griffin and
Barbara Brooke Reese. He displayed the sites and said they were targeting different
audiences to entice people to move here; they were open to suggestions; and he
thanked local photographer, Jerry Peterman, who donated all of the aerial photographs.
Mr. Hill asked what kind of working relationship was there with the Indian River Chamber
and Sebastian Chamber who have been working on economic development. Mr.
Herlihy said both sites have direct links to the Sebastian Chamber which will also link
their site to the two sites. Mr. Hill asked where the information on these websites was
derived from as the economic development website would have county -wide information
available.
Mr. Herlihy said the economic website has the entire City economic development plan,
including the application. He said he spent a lot of time searching other websites to see
what is offered.
Hill said the County has some really great tools and hopes the City is utilizing those tools
and updating the websites. Mr. Herlihy it is a cooperative effort and the City Manager is
very supportive and it isn't hard to make changes.

page. Mr. Herlihy said it was deemed to attract attention but it is changeable.

Ms. Coy pulled G and H.
MOTION by Mr. Hill and SECOND by Mr. Wolff to approve consent agenda items
A -H passed on a voice vote of 4 -0.
Item G and H
Ms. Coy said she was not opposed to these events but would like to update the park
plan in a workshop and include these two groups within the new plan. She said they
take up 15 weekends of the year with their earliest date being October 2 and this
postponement would not affect their schedules.
Mayor Gillmor said he appreciated the need to revisit the park resolution but did not
know that it needs to be a whole workshop. Mr. Wolff agreed.
The City Manager reminded them that there are CRA and CIP meetings coming up.
Ms. Coy suggested we try it on a regular agenda and if too much we can separate it out.
Mr. Hill said he didn't see how approving these events would affect that resolution.
Ms. Coy said we have another organization coming up and they may request 50% off
and we have to be consistent.
Mr. Hill said the organizations will rent the park 15 days and contribute to the community
and that is why they are bought to Council.
MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. Wolff to pull items G and H until such time to
rewrite Resolution No. R -02 -47 within 60 days.

10.087 I. Pain Clinics Report (PD /GMD Transmittal, Memo, News Articles, DVD)
205 -229
The City Manager said this was before Council as the result of some recent Council
Member inquiries.
The Growth Management Director said there in an increase in pain clinics and pain
management clinics in the South that have contributed to a rise in prescription drug
abuse, identify theft, organized crime and drug overdose.
The Police Chief turned the mic over to Detective Theo Robinson who made a
presentation. Detective Robinson said he has gained knowledge regarding the pain
clinics over the last five years; the most prevalent drugs are oxycodone and alprazolam
and the City is not immune from these clinics. He described some of his recent cases
and displayed a PowerPoint presentation. (see attached)
Ms. Coy mentioned that there is State legislation pending to create a database of these
offenders and Detective Robinson said it did pass but has yet to be funded and still
leaves gaping holes in the system. Ms. Coy pointed out that Florida does not have the
database that tracks these doctors, but the states that do have less of a problem.
Detective Robinson said there are 11 deaths a day in Florida due to oxycodone. He
displayed an evidence box of drugs and supplies confiscated from a 55 year old
unemployed plumber who made $45,000 a month selling drugs. He urged Council to act
quickly and take steps.
Mayor Gillmor asked how they could help. The Growth Management Director
recommended a moratorium against the issuance of local business tax receipts and
during the moratorium, they could write code that would require practices that prescribe
pain medicine be owned by a physician. She said other municipalities have made it
impossible to dispense medicine on -site.
Mr. Wolff said it is sad to see that the people who are doing the resales are the ones
getting busted but the doctors are operating with impunity. Detective Robinson replied
many of the clinics are owned by regular people who advertise for doctors on Craigslist
who can write these prescriptions. He suggested that the City could require that a clinic
has to be opened by a doctor.

In response to Ms. Coy, Detective Robinson said they were lucky in that the county
pharmacies are working closely with them.
Mr. Hill asked if they could implement an emergency moratorium tonight. The City
Attorney advised he is not a fan of moratoriums, but Council could implement an
ordinance tagging business tax licenses as suggested in the packet by next month and if
that was not fast enough, Council could enact a moratorium. He said the problem is that
the City is a small city with boundaries and people will simply cross boundaries but we
can do our part and make it as inconvenient as possible for those who break the law.
Mr. Hill said he was concerned about how much money someone could make; and how
many people could die between now and September. He asked the Chief if September
is soon enough to stop this.
The Chief said it was hard to say but they are investigating a pain clinic right next to the
police department, so realistically there is one already in the City.
MOTION by Mr. Hill and SECOND by Mayor Gillmor to approve an emergency
moratorium to stop these pain clinics from coming to Sebastian until we can have
ordinance in place such as the one outlined on circle page 215.
There was no public comment.

The City Manager said this was brought back to reconsider issuing their objections to
Ocean Concrete to the County.
MOTION by Coy and SECOND by Hill to let the County know the City of Sebastian does
not support Ocean Concrete at that location.
Dale Simchick, S. Easy Street, thanked Council for bringing the item back and
suggested updating their objection and resend it.

10.072 B. Approve Special Event Permit for Riverview Park Reclaimed Ministries "Rock
77 83 on the River" Community Memorial Weekend Celebration Concert Saturday,
May 29, 2010 4 pm to 10 pm Request Free Use of City Stage Four Bands
Two to Three Vendors (Revised Parks Transmittal, Letter of Request and
Application, 501(c) (3) Form, Business Tax Receipt [License]) (Will Provide
Insurance Certificate and Fire Department Permit Prior to Event If Approved)
The City Attorney said he bought this back as it failed with a 2 -2 vote and the Charter
requires three affirmative votes for action so there was no official action taken on the
application.
He said the application is similar to any other application for use of the park; the use of
public parks is recognized by the first amendment of the US Constitution; the short
version is there is a recent US Supreme Court case deciding two issues involving
Sebastian. He said one case involved permanent memorials such as the Four
Chaplains monument authorized by Council and the other is the use of public parks.
He read four sentences from the decision:
Pleasant Grove City Utah vs. Summum
The government does not have a free hand to regulate private speech
on government property. This court long ago recognized that
members of the public retain strict free speech rights when then
venture into public streets and parks which have immemorially been
held in trust for the use of the public and time out of mind have been

used for purposes of assembly, communication, communicating
thoughts between citizens and discussing public questions.
In order to preserve this freedom government entities are strictly
limited in their ability to regulate public speech in traditional public
forum. Reasonable time, place, and manner of restrictions are
allowed.
The City Attorney said part of rewriting the park use resolution will be the consideration
of time, place and manner. He advised that Reclaimed Ministries needs to be treated
the same as other applications.
He said that he asked the City Manager how he would have handled the applications if
the group expected a smaller turnout and the City Manager said he would have issued
the permit and for Council to do otherwise requires a significant consideration of factors
that would justify that decision. He said the Courts use the highest standard of review
which is "strict scrutiny."
He said he read the excerpt to show how seriously the courts view the use of public
assets, and he noted Council's obligations are to ensure the assets are available for first
amendment participation.
He said this is the last practical meeting before the group's event and he wanted Council
to hear what he had to say.
MOTION by Mr. Hill and SECOND by Mayor Gillmor to approve Reclaimed Ministries
Rock on the River Event at Riverview Park on Saturday, May 29 from 4 -10 p.m.
Louise Kautenburg, Sebastian, encouraged Council to treat the application on a level
playing field and she asked if Council allows the use of the stage, they should consider
allowing the use of other City equipment.
Elizabeth Walton, Wentworth Street, Sebastian, thanked the City Attorney for bringing
this back and said the youth need a positive thing to do and any organization that wants
to provide something for them to do is wonderful.
Linda DeSanctis, Laconia Street, Sebastian, asked Council not to rent the entire park
unless it is a City sanctioned function noting there are other facilities that could be used.
Sandy Vandermill, Sebastian, said this wasn't about faith but opening the park up to
attract open tourism and bring people to the area.
Mr. Wolff said he respected what the City Attorney advised in that we should not prevent
or attempt to legislate, by way of permit, the freedom of speech so the event should go
on.

He said he was concerned with conducting commerce at this event, noting he wanted to
see proof of the 501(c )(3) status of the group. He said the 501(c )(3) document is not
for the person making application for the event but Reclaimed Ministries, Steve Baran,
with a US 1 address which is also different than the application. He also pointed out that
the document is stamped May 6 but was faxed May 5th
He said that he didn't see how they can accept the non profit status with the evidence
that they have provided.
Mayor Gillmor there were two gentlemen here earlier and at the last meeting, with one
being Steve Baran, who was under the umbrella of the 501(c) (3) organization.
Mr. Hill said staff could check the status of the document before going forward. The City
Manager offered to check on the 501(c )(3)non- profit document.
Ms. Coy said she noticed the same discrepancies as Mr. Wolff and she called the IRS
who could not verify the document was correct but Reclaimed Ministries was just
approved April 6, 2010.
Mr. Hill asked Mr. Wolff that if it was proven the group was a 501( c)(3), would that
resolve his concerns. Mr. Wolff said it would but there is still a question of the use of the
stage.
The City Manager said staff reintroduced the initial application and unless the stage use
is modified, they would have use of the stage. Mr. Hill said he would be open to
discussion on that.
Mayor Gillmor offered a secondary motion to cut the application fee in half.
MR. HILL AMENDED HIS MOTION to cut the application fee in half and direct staff to
ensure Reclaimed Ministries is a legal 501(c )(3).
Ms. Coy asked where staff came up with the non profit fee. The City Manager said it
was part of the administrative policy on rental of the stage. The Parks Superintendent
explained there is a "stage use permit." Ms. Coy said what we do for one; we need to do
for all. She said the Park should not be let until Council has come up with a policy.
The City Attorney said the major difference is Council's motion to defer on items #G H
and the commitment with staff to come back won't in any way cause an issue with
timing; but it would de -rail this application.
Mr. Hill CONFIRMED THE QUESTION is approval with staff confirmation of 501(c )(3)
status with the stage leased at the non profit rate. Mr. Wolff added that proof of
insurance and a fire permit would also be provided.

85
As a member of the Art Club's Board of Directors, Mayor Gillmor turned the gavel over to
Vice Mayor Hill. (see abstention form attached)
The City Manager said various community groups have used the old Council chambers
since staff vacated the premises and the Art Club has asked to make improvements to
the building.
Toni Hill, 766 Vocelle Avenue, distributed an outline of their proposal (attached) adding
that fifteen members are interested in turning the back rooms into gallery space.
Mr. Wolff asked how many square feet the Club is requesting noting this was mentioned
at the last meeting that Council should look at using the buildings, and he asked how
they would feel if they renovated the building but was only allowed to use 400 square
feet with another organization also in the building.
Ms. Hill said they would appreciate any space to start with and see if this could get off
the ground.
Mr. Wolff said they do need to decide what they are going to do with those buildings and
equally share them amongst other groups.
Ms. Coy pointed out the building might even come down. She asked if any other groups
where interested.
The City Manager said there were and so far, they have been accommodated, but he
wanted to make sure Council knew what was going on, and he recommended a formal
lease be put together.
Ms. Hill said the interested fifteen members have signed up for a six month trial run.

Police Dept.
The City Manager said he would like to show citizens that they are receiving a bang for
the buck for example the Police Department budget is 4.6 M and when that is
compared to other departments of like size or other departments around the Treasure
Coast, we are beating others with cost per thousand with officers less per thousand with
a crime rate that is relatively reasonable when compared to other places. He said we
have a great police force, reasonable crime rate and we are not paying a lot for it and on
average, it is $500 per household that goes to the Police Department which displayed
three exemplary examples of professionalism tonight.
Mr. Hill congratulated the 8 grade class of Sebastian Middle School's IBMYB
Program who graduated last night and in particular Macy Hill who has worked
very hard over the last three years and has a very proud father.
D. Council Member Coy
Ms. Coy said she was very concerned with oil spilling in the gulf and let the public

Sebastian River Art Center
General Description:
A community Art Center that showcases the Visual Arts, Painting, Sculpture, Drawing
and Photography.
Mission Statement:
The mission of the Sebastian River Art Center is to cultivate an appreciation of the visual
arts in our community and provide a venue for art classes for all ages of residents.
Goals:
The goals of the Sebastian River Art Center are three fold. First is to serve as a gallery to
showcase artworks from Sebastian artists. Second to create a venue for traveling art
exhibits, and third to provide space for art classes that will cater to all ages; school age to
seniors.
Management:
A standing committee of the Sebastian River Art Club, a non -profit corporation that has
partnered with the city for the last 38 years, will manage the Art Center. Limited hours of
operation will correspond with those of the Sebastian Historical Museum located next
door.
Financial Considerations:
Sebastian River Art Center proposes to fund the needed improvements from our treasury
through donations from the core group of artists who will be participating in the member
section of the gallery at the Art Center. We also anticipate a large infusion of "sweat
equity" being applied to this project in regards to cleaning, patching and painting along
with the staffing of the center by Art Club volunteers.
