No public input or action except for City committee member nominations and appointments under this heading. 10.003 A. Construction Board (City Clerk Transmittal, Applications, List) 61 -74 i. Consider Waiving the Rules to Reappoint Incumbents The City Manager said the Board hasn't been active but is statutorily required. He noted the incumbents had been contacted and agreed to stay on the Board. The Clerk noted the Code requires her office to advertise for all vacant positions. Mr. Wright said he discussed sunsetting the Board with the City Manager since they have not met for two years. He said they are to review the Land Development Code (LDC) but they have not done so, and Council has received consistent complaints about the LDC. Mr. Hill suggested conducting a comprehensive review of all City boards. The City Manager said staff recommends keeping the Construction Board and said they can review the LDC but stated they hear appeals to code determinations, the members are trade specific to make determinations; and they can prosecute unlicensed contractors, a function that can also be performed by the Indian River County Construction Board as well as the Special Magistrate. Mayor Gillmor asked if Council could task the Construction Board with looking at the LDC regulations. The City Manager said the building regulations could be looked at but they are mostly set out by State law that cannot be changed, but they could provide cost feedback on construction. Mayor Gillmor said he would like them to look at onerous regulations for people trying to open a small business. Mr. Wright said he didn't see a viable forum for contractors to resolve their complaints so the Construction Board could look at this. Mr. Wolff said more information on their tasks is needed before making a decision with the Board. Mr. Wright asked the Clerk to read their tasks and duties from the Code of Ordinances. The Clerk read Code Section 26- 197(1 -4). Mr. Hill suggested putting this on a future agenda for further discussion and at Mr. Wolff's suggestion, invite the Board members. Mr. Wright said the local contractors should be involved to allow a forum to air their complaints. The City Manager said he would like the Building Director to get with the Board to discuss what Council has discussed and bring this back in January. 3 Regular City Council Meeting October 13, 2010 Page Four MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. Wright to reappoint the standing Construction Board members for another term (this is for the four vacant positions) carried on a voice vote of 5 -0. 10.017 B. Natural Resources Board (City Clerk Transmittal, Application, List) 75 -79 i. Interview, Unless Waived, Submit Nomination for One Vacant Position Ms. Howe introduced herself and Mr. Wolff asked about the organization she started called the "Green Angels." She said she started this group to work with the schools and day care facilities to encourage recycling, using biodiesel buses, and work on little things. Mr. Wright nominated Ms. Howe and Council concurred with a voice vote. 9. PUBLIC HEARINGS 10.048 A. Resolution No. R -10 -39 Transmittal Hearing and Adoption of Evaluation Appraisal 81 -190 Report (GMD Transmittal, R- 10 -39, Exhibit A) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT FOR THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; STATING THE INTENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO AMEND THE COMPRESHENSIVE PLAN BASED UPON RECOMMENDATIONS CONTAINED IN THE REPORT; AUTHORIZING TRANSMITTAL OF THE REPORT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 163.3191, FLORIDA STATUTES; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (PJ 9/28/10) The City Attorney read Resolution No. R -10 -39 by title. Brandon Schaad, Outlier Planning, said they were here to adopt the plan and he gave a brief PowerPoint presentation outlining the major issues. (see attached) Mr. Wright pointed out that the latest census figures were not included and asked how they would be incorporated. Mr. Schaad said the detailed numbers wouldn't be out for a couple of years. Mr. Wright noted the 2000 Long Range Transportation Plan was adopted by the MPO earlier in the day and was available for inclusion. The public was invited to provide input at 7:08 p.m. Damien Gilliams said he sees a lot of things in the plan that will deter growth yet on the other hand Council is giving tax breaks to businesses that want to come to Sebastian. For the people at home, he asked Mayor Gillmor to have Mr. Schaad go over the table of contents so they know what is in the report. MOTION by Mr. Hill and SECOND by Ms. Coy to approve Resolution No. R- 10 -39. Mr. Wright asked where the public could find the document. The Growth Management Director said it is available on the City's website in the Growth Management Section: cityofsebastian.org, public records in Laserfiche, sebastianear.com, and hard copy is in the Growth Management Office. 4 Regular City Council Meeting October 13, 2010 Page Five Mayor Gillmor closed the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. Roll call vote: AYES: All NAYS: None Passed 5 -0 10.140 B. Resolution No. R -10 -40 Update to CRA Master Plan (GMD Transmittal, R -10 -40 191 -309 with Exhibit, Legislative Copy) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA, APPROVING AN UPDATE TO THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (PJ 9/29/10) The City Attorney read Resolution No. R -10 -40 by title. Brandon Schaad, Outlier Planning, said this update is primarily a capital improvement update to the 2003 CRA Master Plan. He gave a brief PowerPoint presentation. Mr. Hill said some items did not change since this was not a complete revision; and noted the original plan included statements referencing the working waterfront and the preservation of Sebastian's fishing history which he found interesting. Mayor Gillmor said he had problems with terminology referencing Riverside and Riverview Drive in the document maps. He said he would like to see the references blacked out and Indian River Drive inserted. The City Manager explained those names were the original names when the road was platted over the years and it would be a tremendous amount of work to change the base maps going all the way back to the plat maps. He offered to have Senior MIS Systems Analyst, Barbara Brooke Reese, black out the names and rescan the maps for the website and Clerk's file. Ms. Coy suggested a disclaimer recognizing the different names for Indian River Drive and that we are working on a solution. Mr. Wolff asked Mr. Schaad if the capital improvement table on circle page 263 was his work or from the original plan. Mr. Schaad said it was from the original plan but he pulled out what wasn't going to happen. Mayor Gillmor also noted the chart on circle page 262 shows incorrect information and asked that the expected CRA revenues be updated. Mr. Hill agreed, but said the chart spoke to outdated items noted earlier in the document; the contractor was asked to look at the capital improvement items; and to update the whole document it would cost a lot more. The Mayor asked for public input at 7:29 p.m. Damien Gilliams said he didn't see anything on how the plan is going to create jobs in the district. He offered that the Small Business Administration (SBA) has two programs that 5 Regular City Council Meeting October 13, 2010 Page Six will share revenue with businesses and with matching down payments, help small businesses get loans. He briefly outlined the SBA 504 and SBA 7A Programs. He asked Council to put the document on hold until these programs are incorporated to help businesses thrive and buy real estate. MOTION by Mr. Hill and SECOND by Ms. Coy to approve Resolution No. R -10 -40 with a disclaimer regarding the wording of Indian River Drive. Mr. Wright described the difficulty of receiving SBA loans. Mayor Gillmor closed the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. Roll call vote: AYES: All NAYS: None Passed 5 -0 10.141 C. Resolution No. R -10 -41 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) (GMD 311 -372 Transmittal, R- 10 -41, Letter, Map, Plans) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT 2010 -2014 FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN, 2010 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AND AN APPLICATION FOR CDBG FUNDING FOR FY2010 (SF 424); AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AND TRANSMIT ALL DOCUMENTS TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (PJ 9/29/10) The City Attorney read Resolution No. R -10 -41 by title. The Growth Management Director explained this would be the City's first year of participation in the CDGB Program which is designed for low to moderate income areas which included the CRA district and the project that staff was proposing was the Riverview Park lift station. Mr. Hill pointed out that since the project is already budgeted, that money can be used elsewhere if the City received this grant money. Mr. Wolff cited the HUD letter speaking to low income residents and returning veterans and asked how the lift station factors into those residents. The City Manager said the short answer was that it doesn't; the money can be used for a number of items but staff chose the lift station, but Council could change the goal which would need more homework. Mayor Gillmor said he was surprised that he had not seen the letter addressed to him from HUD and that Council wasn't in the loop earlier to discuss how these funds might be used; he noted they have discussed economic development, an incubator, or a business analyst to help small businesses. He requested discussion on the best use of the money. He said there isn't a better time to buy a home for veterans. Mr. Hill said it is unfair to come up with an idea tonight without background such as how many veterans are coming in and need help. The City Manager said there is not a time 6 Regular City Council Meeting October 13, 2010 Page Seven dilemma. Mr. Hill said the project has already been approved, those funds could be put back into the budget, but there should be an idea where to spend the bonus check. Mr. Hill suggested tabling the item to have discussions with the City Manager as to where the money should go or go ahead and free up the money in general revenues. Mr. Hill also said it is the responsibility of staff to seek grant funding, this covers something already budgeted for and he was comfortable approving this for this purpose. The City Manager explained that the City could apply for the small cities grant CDGB funding or the recurring entitlement CDGB funding and in the past the City has applied for the small grant until this Council decided in 2009 to opt -in for the recurring grant funding. He said through the CIP process he talked to Council and the Parks Recreation Committee about the lift station. He said Council could approve or discuss other entitlement projects for this year and in the future. He cautioned that they will spend a good portion of staff time managing the $100K. Mr. Wright concurred that if they accept the grant, they have substantial obligations such as public hearings for two years. The City Manager agreed that hearings are required but HUD has helped the City since many communities have stopped taking the money because of the bureaucracy. The City Manager said he would take direction and move accordingly noting in his experience, once the program is started, working with HUD will become repetitive and easier; but difficult to manage. The City Manager suggested identifying projects through a committee or the Local Planning Agency (Planning and Zoning Commission). The Growth Management Director said the entitlement program is actually a more stream -lined process because the federal government has determined the City is entitled to the money and when the Census figures come out, the entitlement amount will go up. Mr. Wright said it was interesting that the City's gem, Riverview Park, falls in a blighted area. The City Manager said HUD recognizes that when you do a redevelopment district you have done a blight study which includes the whole CRA district. Mayor Gillmor citied the three categories on circle page 347 that the money could be applied for. Ms. Coy said she was prepared to keep as it is and plan down the road. Mr. Wright agreed this was a reasonable approach. Mr. Wolff said the budget doesn't have $100,000 to help someone start a small business, help a head injured veteran, or someone put a roof over their head so Council might be missing an opportunity to help people right now who don't have a revenue source; Council should review the objectives noting he agreed with the lift station but they should be sure that is the project they want. Mr. Hill agreed with Mr. Wolff as long as they did not lose $100,000. The City Manager said he didn't think HUD would wig out on a 60 day delay. 7 Regular City Council Meeting October 13, 2010 Page Eight MOTION by Mr. Hill to table and have it brought back as soon as possible to discuss different options for spending the grant. SECOND by Mayor Gillmor who asked if this was for FY2010. The Growth Management Director said in HUD numbers our FY2011 is their FY2010. Mayor Gillmor called for public input at 8:14 p.m. Joe Scozzari commended the City Manager for receiving the grant and not telling any one. Mr. Hill called for a point of order, asking the speaker to address the Chair. Damien Gilliams commended Council for tabling the grant, stating it really needs to help veterans and if he knew there were major problems at the Park he would have raised concerns. He asked Council to direct staff to fix the restroom right away. Roll call vote: AYES: Hill, Wolff, Gillmor NAYS: Coy, Wright Motion to table passed 3 -2. 10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS none. 11. PUBLIC INPUT Nick McGrath, Sebastian, said in June 2009 he spoke to the City Manager's Executive Assistant and a couple of City departments who said the City was under contract for printing services; a year later he came back and spoke to the City Manager who said employees use a local company but a bid would go out. He said he submitted a bid two months ago and it has yet to be awarded. He said he would just like as- needed business, yet the City continues to use the local vendor with the expired contract and the Police Department is using the prison system for their printing needs. The City Manager said he was in business to save money and also help local business; there is not a standard policy; and the department heads get supplies where it is the least expensive. He said when the bid went out, the two big jobs were the budget (book), and the Pelican Brief and staff has subsequently decided to do the Pelican Brief electronically this year. He acknowledged Mr. McGrath was the low bid on many of the items but some of the numbers were so low that staff didn't know if they did the bid documents right; the existing vendor protested the bid; and there was a reasonable difference of $1,000 among the bids for printing the budget (book). He said he did not have the time to make a determination on this but his Assistant did tell Mr. McGrath that it would be on the agenda. He said they may rebid the budget job which will be about a $5,000 job. Mr. McGrath said he would like to be contacted for business. Mr. Wright confirmed the amount of printing is minimal. The City Manager staff is trying to spread the business throughout the community and they are doing their best. 8 Regular City Council Meeting October 13, 2010 Page Nine Mr. McGrath asked Council if they agreed that Pride should have the Police Department contract. Mr. Hill said they would need all the information on that before commenting. Joe Scozzari said a local food vendor expressed to him that he feels taken advantage by local non profit organizations which offer weekend dinners and lunches, and he asked if there is a State law limiting the number of open houses an organization can have a year. Mayor Gillmor asked which non profits are doing this. Mr. Wolff said for example, clubs like the Armenian American Club which has an authentic breakfast. Ms. Coy said the non profits must apply for a license from the State and they are allowed to so many open houses and she wasn't sure that was enforceable at this level. Harvey Wheeler, Sebastian, requested a feasibility study to reinstate the Engineering Department to provide accountability; complete the CRA parking study, saving $27,000; provide storm water design to reduce the nutrient loads into the Indian River Lagoon; and provide conceptual drawings for more aesthetic pedestrian bridges. Ben Hocker, Sebastian, said he was looking for the CRA agenda on website and came across a Main Street marina blueprint which is different that what is there and he asked if this was a new project. Mayor Gillmor said that document was old. Mr. Hocker said the "do not enter" sign at the boat launching exit area isn't visible and he asked if it could stick out more. He also said there are pedicabs pushing people off the sidewalk along Indian River Drive and he asked if the City has any control over this. Mr. Wright asked where they picking up passengers. Mr. Hocker said yes at Earl's Hideaway. The City Clerk said all the Council packets are available on the home page under Meeting Agendas. Damien Gilliams said St. Sebastian Catholic Church is now having a flea market and suggested the City hold a monthly flea market. He described a recycling bank program recently instituted in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and asked the City look into it. Mr. Gilliams said staff should spread printing needs among the businesses in the community; he could relate to Mr. Scozzari's non profit concern which could be looked at down the road; and said the parking study is a perfect thing for the Construction Board to do. He asked if City staff painted the building where the Art Club is to be located. Mayor Gillmor replied that Club members did the painting. 12. NEW BUSINESS 10.142 A. Request from Joe Scozzari for Candidate Forum in Council Chambers with MIS Broadcast Services and Equipment (City Manager Transmittal) 9:02 pm Mr. Hill cited the broadcast policy that prohibits politicing from the dais or podium and he removed himself from his position so he would not break the policy and he left the chamber. 9 Regular City Council Meeting October 13, 2010 Page Ten The City Manager said this request is from Open Arms and Open Hearts to petition Council for a candidate forum and Vicky Lada was present to answer any questions. Mr. Wright asked if the request was reviewed by the City's Communication Committee. The City Attorney said it was not required in this instance since it was not an appeal. The City Manager said the request comes to Council because it is a live coverage and it would be up to Council to allow an additional forum. The City Attorney expounded that the procedure for the Committee relates to packaged programming that somebody wants to broadcast over the public channel for replay and this request did not fall within that parameter. Mr. Wolff asked Ms. Lada how many hours she was requesting and who would be the moderator. Ms. Lada replied it would be two hours, and Cal Stewart would moderate. Ms. Coy remembered Coleman Steward ran for the school board and asked if this was the same man. Ms. Lada said that she never met Mr. Stewart but he was recommended by Mr. Gilliams. Mr. Wright asked what her position was with Open Arms and Open Hearts ministry. Ms. Lada said she was the treasurer. Ms. Coy said the organization is not listed locally and asked what functions are held in the City. Ms. Lada said she is holding bible studies at her house; she is the key holder to Ms. Falco's local house; and Ms. Falco holds internet radio shows. Ms. Coy noted the ministry's website is listed in Bradenton and asked how Council could justify that organization is a local, charitable organization. Ms. Coy said Ms. Lada was the representative, she couldn't tell them about the moderator, and she asked about the format to which Ms. Lada said there will be three reporters to ask questions and the candidates could ask questions of each other. Ms. Coy asked how many candidates there are. Mr. Gilliams whispered an answer to Ms. Lada and Ms. Coy called for a point of order. Mr. Gilliams said there was no need to badger Ms. Lada. Ms. Coy called again for a point of order and said she was trying to get to the issue. Ms. Coy asked Ms. Lada when was she asked to do this and Ms. Lada said yesterday. Ms. Coy noted the Open Arms and Open Hearts letter came to them Monday. Ms. Coy said there didn't seem to be a lot of planning and asked if she was aware of the two other forums held in the City. Ms. Lada said she was aware of the Property Owners and the Chamber; and said this was offered by a non partisan, open forum type of thing, not any political organization. Ms. Coy said the reason the two organizations holds forums every year is one represents residents and one is the business owners which represents 100% of the taxpayers. Mayor Gillmor noted the proper order is that if anyone was interested in going forward, there should be a motion. 10 Regular City Council Meeting October 13, 2010 Page Eleven Mr. Wolff said he was nervous as to where the discussion was going, and noted there are many forums going on in the County and we should not say only two groups can have a forum. Ms. Coy asked him to name other places that televise forums and the issue is 'use of government property and staff.' Mr. Wolff asked if that meant that Council should cancel the SPOA and Chamber forum. Ms. Coy said Council should re- look at the resolution and what they want to accomplish. MOTION by Mr. Wolff to approve the application by Open Arms and Open Hearts for a candidate forum. Motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Gilliams approached the podium to speak and Mayor Gillmor said there was no discussion after a dead motion and called for a recess at 9:22 p.m. He reconvened the meeting 9:29 p.m. and all members were present. 13. CITY ATTORNEY MATTERS none. 14. CITY MANAGER MATTERS The City Manager reported the assessed value increased a little over 1%, generating more revenue and he administratively adjusted the final millage rate downward to 3.3041 for FY2011; there are a number of street surfacing projects going on; the Skate Park office is under construction; permits are being gathered for the Schumann Park restrooms; Mr. Schulke is working on riverfront design concepts for the bump -out, parking, signage; Mr. Watanabe is working on the gateway concept; staff is working on improvements at Hurricane Harbor and the fish house; and staff is working with Neel Schaffer on the design concept for the VRaptor hangar. 15. CITY CLERK MATTERS none. 16. CITY COUNCIL MATTERS A. Council Member Coy Ms. Coy said the last item has brought attention that the City Broadcast Policy needs some review and discussion and if there was consensus, she would like the policy and resolution on the agenda in December. There was no objection from the other Council Members and the City Manager agreed to agendize the review. B. Council Member Wolff none. C. Council Member Wright Mr. Wright reminded everyone that early voting started Monday at the old School House and runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. D. Mayor Gillmor Mayor Gillmor requested an unstructured workshop with staff and the department heads, to be held on the floor to brainstorm, and talk about what's on everyone's mind and come up with a grand vision for the City. 11 Regular City Council Meeting October 13, 2010 Page Twelve ATTEST: There was consensus to change one of the December meetings to a workshop if an agenda turned out to be light; otherwise to hold it in January. E. Vice -Mayor Hill Mr. Hill said he went to the Sebastian Art Club on Monday, and found the work to be phenomenal and suggested all Council Members visit the Club. He noted they have some art hanging which displayed their vision. He invited the public to their Open House on Saturday, October 16 from 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Mayor Gillmor added that they hoped to have artists working for the public. Mr. Hill said the sign for Tropical Smoothies is done and looked wonderful. 17. Being no further business, Mayor Gillmor adjourned the regular City Council meeting at 9:39 p.m. Approved at the October 27, 2010 Regular City Council meeting. Sally A.
