Item B
Ben Hocker, Sebastian, cited the February 26th agenda packet in which the design was
modified, and questioned why the fisherman had since removed the fish house when they
were told not to do so previously, noted we now have to meet more stringent rebuild
compliance requirements even though the fish house had not been previously damaged
more than 50%, expressed that we have to apply for a new lease on the bottom, concern
for more taxpayer dollars being used before the FIND grant is received, and asked what
funding the fishermen had contributed.

The City Manager responded the demolition of the fish house was not done without
permission, it was done their labor and there were permits, and explained reasons why
the demolition had taken place for safety concerns, and described the rebuild, noting
there will be a pole barn on the same footprint, and that the upwellers have been
relocated slightly within the submerged lands lease. He said it is to our advantageous to
do this for the fishermen, and that behind the black drapes were the ugly raceways. The
Community Development Director continued that City staff was out there doing daily
inspections during the demolition, that staff is working with DEP and other regulatory
agencies and moving forward, DEP permits are properly in place, but it was discovered
two months ago that an Army Corps permit is needed so that is why there are added
costs for engineering.
Mr. Gillmor asked the City Manager for his comments on the condition of the building and
whether anyone might wonder if it is rebuildable. The City Manager said one third of the
east side of the building was in the water including the concrete flooring, and there was
rebar in it and DEP had red flagged it, noting that now that we have the building and it
has been demolished, it is appropriate that the dock is restricted from access at this time,
and access to the dock can be restricted by the Fishermen who have a lease. He said he
has had the Building Official and City inspectors there and we have tried to do things the
right way.
Mr. Hill said he had no problem with the agenda item, and he’s had had an opportunity to
talk to Ruth Stanbridge about plans for the other parcel. He asked the City Manager
when the black drapes can be removed, and said he is proud of the work the City is
doing.
The City Manager said after the raceways were removed the site was not as sterile as it
should be and he was trying to shield that from view, said in early Fall we will go out to
bid and then construction should take place six weeks later. He said the drapes can come
down tomorrow if that is what is desired.
Mr. Hill said there seems to be no need for them and they are just blocking the view. The
City Manager said he would take them down the next day.
MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. Gillmor to approve, noting she did not have an
issue with the item but pulled it at request of Mr. Hocker.
Roll Call: Ayes: Hill, Adams, Coy, Gillmor, McPartlan Nays: None Passed: 5-0
8. COMMITTEE REPORTS & APPOINTMENTS
City committee reports and Council Member regional committee reports. No public input or action except for
City committee member nominations and appointments under this heading.
Mr. Hill reported on today’s Tourist Development Meeting at which Indian River County
Commission Zorc recommended reducing tourist tax funding to the Chambers and giving
more to Treasure Coast Sports Commission and that TDC members had opposed his
suggestion. He noted that the Chambers get 70% of the tourist tax funds and it is
ultimately a County Commission decision. He said Mr. Zorc plans to bring the suggestion
forward to the Commission. He said he was vehemently opposed to reducing funding to
the Chambers of Commerce and recommended the Mayor send a letter to the
Commission stating our objection.

Ms. Coy further suggested that the letter state the Council’s support for the Tourist
Development Commission as the primary advisory board to the Commission on this issue
and state our objections to reduction of funding to the Chambers and increase to TCSC.
Mr. Adams asked if the new Vero Chamber is included in the 70%. Mr. Hill said our
discussion is about the legitimate Chambers in place, being the IRC and Sebastian River
Area Chambers.
Mayor McPartlan noted that the Vero Beach group was not looking for support from any
government agencies.
9. PUBLIC HEARINGS - None
10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
14.138 A. Appoint Mr. Kelley H. Armitage as City Special Magistrate for Code Enforcement as Per
Terms of Agreement (City Attorney Transmittal, Contract, Letter, Resume)
The City Attorney said our Special Magistrate ad generated a great response, he had
interviewed close to a dozen, and the best was Kelly Armitage and recommended his
appointment. He said Mr. Armitage was here to respond to any questions, noting his
resume is available in the packet, he is superbly qualified and would make an excellent
magistrate. He said Mr. Armitage is currently residing in Jupiter but his letter indicates he
plans to move to the Sebastian area before the end of the year. He said there is a
proposed contract suggested by him, and agreed to by Mr. Armitage.
MOTION by Mr. Hill and SECOND by Ms. Coy to appoint Kelley H. Armitage as the
Special Magistrate for Code Enforcement.
In response to Ms. Coy, Mr. Armitage confirmed he is still considering moving.
Roll Call: Ayes: Adams, Coy, Gillmor, McPartlan, Hill Nays: None Passed: 5-0
11. PUBLIC INPUT
New information or requests to city council not otherwise on the prepared agenda- procedures on back of
agenda
Janet Perry expressed her displeasure that the Cleveland Street construction had caused
long time business Alpha Hardware to go under. She said they have been a backbone of
the community for many years, and was appalled to see this happen due to roadwork,
noting you could not get in there unless you had a truck. She said the City did nothing for
them and hoped they would do something to stop this from happening again. She said a
lot of other people are also upset.
The City Manager said this is unfortunate and he had just recently received an email from
owner Mrs. Humphrey, that we had all been put on notice about the construction project
and that the end result of the project will be improved parking and drainage, perhaps the
contractor was a little deficient without a flagman and that has been taken care of. He
said the City had assisted Alpha in obtaining an FSL grant but in the end they did not
want it.

The Community Development Director said when the project got started staff told them it
would be 180 days, in the early stages of the project he and the Public Works Director had
met with them because of the front parking lot which had to be changed due to installation
of the sidewalk. He said we cannot tell a contractor how to do his work, and we don’t have
signage and flagging as there are for highway projects.
Ms. Coy asked how many times the hardware store contacted the City with issues and if
were there other contacts or complaints by the hardware store and the City Manager said
not to him. The CDD said we heard through the contractor and met with the owner. He
said the previous City Manager and previous owner had discussions and agreements. He
said City staff had numerous calls from other residents and other property owners and
have visited the area almost daily. Ms. Coy noted no one had contacted Council, was sad
for them but can’t help what they do not know, and said she was disappointed for them
but nobody said anything.
12. NEW BUSINESS
14.062 A. American Red Cross Presentation - Sarah Tippet Ruwe, Community
Executive, Treasure Coast
Sarah Tippet Ruwe, gave a brief Power Point presentation on the Treasure Coast
American Red Cross (attached), which covers Sebastian to the Keys and 6M people,
describing their services which range from disaster relief, support to armed forces, first
aid and lifeguard training, and delivery of meals, of which 96% is done by volunteers,
and with donations. She said 91 cents of every dollar donated goes back to the services.
She said people can go to the App store and download a free American Red Cross app.
Mr. Gillmor asked if it would be possible to put information out for how to contact them.
14.139 B. Approve Capt. Hiram’s 2014 River Challenge on November 16, 2014 from
7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. (Parks Transmittal, Letter, Maps)
Will Collins, Captain Hiram’s, made a brief presentation in regard to the planned 2014
River Challenge to bring attention to and benefit the Indian River Lagoon, stating they
had spectacular feedback from last year and had revised the route for safety reasons in
cooperation with law enforcement officials. He cited the beneficiaries Coastal
Conservation, ORCA and Environmental Learning Center.
MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. Gillmor for approval of the Captain Hiram’s
2014 River Challenge on November 16.
Roll Call: Ayes: Gillmor, McPartlan, Hill, Adams, Coy Nays: None Passed: 5-0
14.140 C. Authorize Appropriation of $18,000 from Recreational Impact Fees to Install Disc
Golf Course at Stormwater Park (Parks Transmittal, Brochure, Cost Estimate)
The City Manager briefly described an idea which came up from Parks and Recreation
to establish a disk golf course at the Stormwater Park contingent upon approval by St.
Johns. Ms. Coy said she appreciated how this was expedited because it only came to
our attention two months ago, noting this sport has been very successful elsewhere and
would be a nice draw for the community.

The City Manager noted that Parks Supervisor, Chris McCarthy did the background on
this. Mr. McCarthy said he had been approached by many citizens, it would be minimal
maintenance, and staff was seeking approval of funding tonight from Council and
awaiting St. Johns legal input.
Mr. Hill said this would be a great location.
MOTION by Mr. Gillmor and SECOND by Mr. Adams to approve RG JA approval
Public Input
A man would did not identify himself said he uses that park every day, and the people
who use the park walk on the berms which are only twenty feet wide, and asked if you
have people chucking frisbees who gets right of way, and if the Frisbees go into
marshland, there is little margin for error because most of it is inaccessible marshland.
He said it is not appropriate to have a course there and it will be frustrating for both
pedestrians and players.
Mayor McPartlan said Parks and Recreation will look at it. Ms. Coy agreed it will come to
Parks and Rec for a plan and maybe even back to Council and he should attend those
meetings to express his opinion, and perhaps Mr. McCarthy or the City Manager could
notify him.
In response to Mr. Gillmor, Mr. McCarthy said each hole is 230 to 350 feet apart.
Dr. Patrick ??, local dentist said he had been playing disk golf for ten years and thought
this was a fantastic idea, stating the gentleman has valid concerns for use of the land,
but pedestrians always have right of way. He said this would be a great benefit for the
community and applauded Chris.
Ben Hocker, Sebastian, asked if this is a sanctioned program like a league, and if he
went to the park where would he get the frisbee and if four play are the rules the same
as in golf, what was the cost to neighbors and were there parking concerns.
Mayor McPartlan said we are only looking to appropriate funding tonight and it will be
something for kids to do.
Roll Call: Ayes: Gillmor, McPartlan, Hill, Adams, Coy Nays: None Passed: 5-0
14.018 D. Consider Resolution of Support for Senator Altman’s Effort in Obtaining

The City Manager said Senator Thad Altman had asked for an Attorney General Opinion
on the lease between the Orlando Expressway Authority and All Aboard Florida and his
contention that the lease prohibits construction of new stations in Brevard and Indian
River Counties by its provisions, and is seeking support.
