Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee 24-37 (City Clerk Transmittal, Three Applications, Ad, List) i. Interview, Unless Waived and Fill One Expired, Regular Member Position Mr. Adams nominated Greg Paschall and Mr. Wright agreed with the nomination. Lawanna Perry asked to speak to express her continued interest, and said it seemed they had decided. Mayor McPartlan said the City always needs its citizens to come forward and encouraged her to continue to apply. Norman Meyer said he would like to keep his hat in the ring but due to family commitments he would probably have to miss the first three meetings of Parks and Recreation and withdrew his application for now. Greg Paschall thanked Council for the opportunity, said he has two young sons and they have been to every City park, he would do his best to talk to people in the community and bring their concerns to the committee and had spoken to former Chair Scott Simpson on some issues. Ms. Coy said to Ms. Perry that she should not take this personally, that Council had three highly motivated and qualified individuals and suggested she attend the meetings and get a leg up for the next opening. Mr. Adams said he did not mean to offend Ms. Perry because he knows how hard she works at Little League and her work is greatly appreciated. Mr. Paschall was appointed to the Regular Member position by virtue of the only nomination. 9. PUBLIC HEARINGS -None 10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 13.080 A. Purchase of 12900 US Highway One Cemetery Expansion Purchase -Adopt 38-43 Resolution No. R-1 3 10 and Authorize Staff to Close on Purchase Within Provisions of Sales Contract (City Manaaer Transmittal, R-1 3 10) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA BORROWING FUNDS FROM THE NON-EXPENDABLE CEMETERY TRUST FUND AND REPAYING THE FUNDS WITH ALL NICHE AND LOT SALES; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. The City Manager explained how the 1.4 acre property was brought to the City's attention by John King, that he had worked quickly to secure it at a cost of $300K, after the last meeting staff had looked at about five issues to bring to Council's attention, and ultimately he would ask for Council's authorization to complete the sale and purchase. 4 8 of 68 Regular City Council Meeting May 22, 2013 Page Five He reviewed how the cemetery is managed, the Clerk takes care of sales and records, and he is in charge of operations, maintenance and personnel, that there are approximately 1000 lots remaining in the cemetery, and likely has a life of about 17.2 years. He said Council needs to decide if it wants to close cemetery services at build out and just maintain, or continue offering municipal cemetery services, however, it would be staff's recommendation to expand cemetery services, due to availability of funds, population growth, the good price for the property below assessed value, and indications that we are leaving the bottom for property prices and if we wait the cost will be higher, and the property may be bought out from us. He said staff crunched numbers to consider the purchase and looked at two extreme case scenarios, 1) since the property is on a hill, 2/3 of the property would be unusable for lots, if we just use the flat areas we could get about 760 lots from the 1.4 acres, and with City resident rates of $1000 for a full lot would get us $760,000 in revenue; and 2) there is another large investment possible, that being creating cemetery lots, niches and a mausoleum, which could bring in significant revenues up to $4000 to $7500 per space. He described the opportunity to build a mausoleum into the hill with space for lots above and with niche and lot sales for a potential of $2.5 million in revenue. He said this purchase is safe financially, and there is potential to return our investment and is a competitive price. He then discussed the ridge and the possibility of digging out the sand and selling it which could bring a significant profit, which would open lot space to about 800. He said the property would have to be annexed and rezoned to public service, and a dilapidated structure would have to be removed. He said the code provides for a cemetery trust fund which is just about $975K and it is divided into a spendable trust which is used for capital improvements and expansion, and a non -spendable for future perpetual maintenance. He said there is currently $763,382 in the non -spendable for perpetual maintenance and $273,993 in the spendable portion so we are about $25K short for the purchase. He recommended if Council wishes to move forward with the purchase, they pass R-1 3 10 to suspend the trust fund rules for an indefinite period so we can borrow $26,007 from the non - spendable trust fund portion to make the purchase, and then all cemetery sales going forward will pay back that amount to the non -spendable trust fund until replenished. The City Attorney read Resolution No. R-1 3 10 by title. MOTION by Mr. Hill and SECOND by Mr. Wright to adopt Resolution No. R-1 3 10 and authorize the City Manager to close the purchase of the 12900 US 1 property within the provisions of the sales contract reviewed at the last meeting and in packets this evening. Mr. Adams asked what is involved in removing and selling the sand and would the revenue from that go to the cemetery fund or the general fund. The City Manager said it should and needs to stay in the cemetery fund, that there is no plan laid out, and the essential bottom line is we have a lot of options if we buy that lot. Ms. Coy said Vero Beach Crestlawn cemetery fund is getting short and ours is healthy so kudos to whoever set this up. The City Manager said there will be road and maintenance issues to address, but if we maintain good interest on our investment we should be able to build up our perpetual maintenance and capital funds. 5 9 of 68 Regular City Council Meeting May 22, 2013 Page Six Mr. Adams asked if the sand were to be sold, would it go to the non -expendable or expendable fund. The City Manager said it would be up to Council, but his knee jerk reaction would be to keep it in the cemetery in the capital fund. Mr. Adams said since we are borrowing the funds from the non -expendable, maybe we should look at the ordinance to consider increasing the amount we keep in the expendable fund. The City Manager said he would even go the other way and reduce the amount you need in the perpetual fund and at this stage this is premature. He said he would not recommend amending the ordinance at this time. The City Clerk commented that the code language only provides that proceeds from sales of interment sites shall be paid into the trust fund, and the City Manager stated that was his comment, that if we sell sand, the proper place for that is the cemetery trust fund and his knee jerk reaction is to put it in the expendable fund for future capital improvements. Roll Call: Ayes: Hill, McPartlan, Wright, Adams, Coy Nays: None Passed: 5-0 11. PUBLIC INPUT (procedures on back of agenda) Dave DeVirgilio and Mike Murray, both of Pelican Island Place, requested that City Council revisit previous discussions from several years ago on the realignment of Barber Street in the area near Pelican Island Elementary due to the dangerous curve that exists there and incidents which have occurred with people missing the turn, driving off the road, and even once hitting and killing Mr. Murray's dog in the swale. They provided a petition signed by 35 individuals in the neighborhood (see petition attached). Mr. DeVirgilio said he was a member of MPO Citizens Advisory Committee and Mr. Matson said he would have no problem donating the three or four lots the County owns. Mr. Wright asked if he had discussed this with the City Manager, and Mr. DeVirgilio said he met with him about eight months ago, and the good news is there was a preliminary plan drawn. The City Manager responded the issue is do we want to reintroduce this and said it was on the books in 2005 when he arrived, and we took it off the books soon after. He said the county had worked to acquire several lots on the eastbound section of Barber, and there were issues with scrub jay habitat, and discussed Fish and Wildlife scrub jay take issues. He said funding was moved to other areas and with the budget coming up it may be something we want to look at again during CIP, we have preliminary drawings. Mr. Hill asked if it was an MPO project since it was Barber and the City Manager said it was local, the county's contribution was that they had purchased properties. Mr. Hill said he thought he saw it on an MPO plan. Mr. DeVirgilio said it was on the plan when he started on CAC and is now gone. Ms. Coy said it might have been combined with the larger Barber /Schumann intersection project. Mr. Wright said it would be good to get some drawings to see how it was aligned and discuss it further. The City Manager said those two projects - Barber Street realignment and the intersection project -had never been tied together. 6 10 of 68 Regular City Council Meeting May 22, 2013 Page Seven 12. NEW BUSINESS 13.015 A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 0-13-03 -Solid Waste Collection Franchise 44-75 Agreement - Set Public Hearing and Adoption for June 12, 2013 (City Manager Transmittal, 0-13-03) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA, GRANTNG AN EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOLID WASTE COLLECTION TO WASTE MANAGEMENT; PROVIDING FOR SUNSET OF EXISTING COMMERCIAL PROVIDERS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS AND EFFECTIVE DATE. The City Manager noted that Waste Management had not completed its review of the language and there may be some minor changes. He said Mr. Adams had brought to his attention a program called Waste Watch where haulers keep an eye out for suspicious activity in neighborhoods and he had talked to George Geletko who said they can do that in Sebastian, and he would add it to conditions in Article 13 for second reading. He said any other changes made would be redlined for Council. The City Attorney read the Ordinance by title only. Ms. Coy asked if the smaller size container is in here and the City Manager said it was. She said she had received a call after the last meeting from an elderly woman who called Waste Management and was told smaller containers are available upon request. Ms. Coy cited Article 13.6.1 solar compactors and asked if we are getting both the solar refuse and recycling containers and the City Manager said he would clarify that by the second reading. Mr. Adams asked why Articles 11.1.1 and 11. 1.3 have rates to be filled in but are blank. The City Manager said he was confused on some of the charts but they would be inserted before the second reading. Roll Call: Ayes: Coy, Hill, McPartlan, Wright, Adams Nays: None Passed: 5-0 13. CITY ATTORNEY MATTERS 13.088 A. Litigation Update (Report) - Withdrawn from agenda until June 12th agenda. 14. CITY MANAGER MATTERS The City Manager explained a situation whereby Dollar General on CR 512 is required to grant a sidewalk easement to the City for connection of the existing sidewalk, and to expedite the process we prepared a grant of easement, and it needs to be authorized for him to execute. The City Clerk handed out backup provided by the City Manager (see attached). The City Attorney said with sufficient time this ordinarily would have been placed on Council's consent agenda for consensus, but the timing was too late for Dollar General, so they requested we do it sooner, they are giving us the property, and the City Manager said it is here for public disclosure and he will execute the agreement. 7 11 of 68 Regular City Council Meeting May 22, 2013 Page Eight 15. CITY CLERK MATTERS -None. 16. CITY COUNCIL MATTERS A. Mayor McPartlan Mayor McPartlan announced the Memorial Day service at Riverview Park at 11 am on Monday, May 27th once again for the benefit of the public. B. Vice Mayor Wright Mr. Wright reported the Indian River County Commission had voted 3-2 to proceed with a resolution to impose a moratorium on impact fees for 18 months, and they will address how and when to make it effective. He said it will be a huge move forward by the County and said we have an impact fee in Sebastian and it is important for us to discuss that. Mr. Hill suggested we have that discussion, but was not certain the County is taking a step forward with a moratorium, because without impact fees how would we pay for roads, sidewalks, parks. He said while it sounds good to eliminate impact fees there is a cost for growth and people here have already paid impact fees. Ms. Coy agreed we need to discuss pros and cons and suggested we discuss at the next meeting on June 12th Mr. Wright said the County may have even more discussion at their next meeting, and reported on the Tourist Development Meeting noting tourist taxes are up 4.8 last month and 5.7 from last year, which enabled them to fund 100% of IRC and Sebastian Chambers, Cultural Council, Historical Society, Treasure Coast Sports Commission, and Vero Heritage Inc. He further said he wanted to encourage the Treasure Coast Sports Commission to spend some of its funds in the North County at our golf course, hotels and restaurants and he will meet with them to discuss some concepts he has. Mr. Wright discussed a meaningful article for Sebastian on Working Waterfronts which states they account for 3.4% of the total US gross domestic product and 4.85% of total employment with ocean and great lakes waterfront accounts, and provide a toolkit to municipalities to best utilize their Working Waterfronts, which he will turn it over to the City Manager. C. Council Member Adams Mr. Adams reported that at the Indian River County Commission meeting prior to their last meeting they awarded Ranger Construction the resurfacing of the eastbound lanes of CR 512 between Roseland and Easy, and approved sending a letter to Harbor Branch in support of their request for grant funding to study effects of septic systems on the Indian River Lagoon. 12 of 68 Regular City Council Meeting May 22, 2013 Page Nine D. Council Member Coy Ms. Coy reported on Beach and Shores, where it was announced money from the State, the Canadian version of Kilroy, was nixed. She announced there was another Memorial Day event at Earl's with a motorcycle procession on Saturday May 25th atl2:30 pm and a skydiver with a flag and they had received FAA approval; and said Wii bowling has arrived at the Senior Center from 10 to 1 every Saturday and asked people to join them. She said there is a National Senior Wii Bowling League. E. Council Member Hill Mr. Hill asked about the sidewalk that goes all the way across the strip mall on 510 and then stops abruptly at the Publix and picks up again at the corner, and asked the City Manager to check with the County on that. 17. Being no further business, Mayor McPartlan adjourned the Regular Meeting at 8:03 p.m. Approved at the June 12, 2013 Regular Council Meeting. By. Bob McPartlan, Mayor Attest. Sally A.

Letters of Support EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: AMOUNT BUDGETED: APPROPRIATION $1,219.00- DARE REQUIRED: $1,719.00 $500.00- Crime stoppers SUMMARY The Sebastian Police Department actively participates in the DARE and Crime Stoppers and request funds from the Law Enforcement Forfeiture Account to purchase /donate for the above items. DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is a program we teach to all our 5`b grade students in preparing them for middle school. We teach them to resist drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and the peer pressure often leading them to this dangerous path. This program has been a huge national success and an even larger success locally. The Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers is a non - profit organization that provides tip money for persons that call in information about crimes and the location of wanted suspects. They also provide crime prevention programs such as newspaper ads of wanted subjects, they have established a crime stoppers web site to post photos and crime information and they produce an annual crime stoppers television show. With their assistance several crimes have been solved and criminals captured. They accept donations from the public and solicit donations from law enforcement agencies to continue their existence. I am requesting $500.00 from our police department forfeiture fund to be donated to this organization to assist them in their operations.

Here is a synopsis of how your forfeiture funded donation was used during the year. First, reasons why the funds were requested: In fiscal year 2011 -2012, our State budget was cut 20% compromising our outreach efforts to obtain crime - solving tip information for your agency. Without your assistance, some services would have been discontinued. $500 of your donation helped supplement the salary of a key part-time staff position. The remaining $500 augmented advertisement and other non -salary expenses. We expect a similar shortfall for calendar year 2013 and again request your assistance. Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers is a non- profit 501© (3) organization eligible for forfeiture fund distributions under Florida State Statute 932.7055. Fiscal /calendar year 2011 -2012, we received 1,088 anonymous tips culminating in 180 arrests. 22 arrests were made by your department. We appreciate your support and look forward to your consideration. Sincerely, Ze wdaa0, President, Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers, Inc.
