BOR 026 TELEPHONE 006 787.1100 May 10, 1984 Fr L ", ' M E M O R A N D U M TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: City Manager RE: City Manager's Report 1. We have received notice from attorney Jack A. KirschenbauIn that Joy Marconi has instructed him to file suit against .the City for compensatory and punitive damages. A settle- ment demand in the amount of $10,000 has been received, which I feel is an unrealistic claim. I would recommend that the City deny the claim and refer the matter to our insurance company for. defense. 2. Some time ago, I advised you that the Sheriff would be moving a number of his non -City patrol units from Cape Canaveral to Titusville. He has completed the move and all that remains are .the personnel assigned to the City and Port contracts and the Selective Enforcement Unit. The Selective Enforcement Unit provides additional uniform presence in the City, and when enroute to assignments, their motorcycles and BATmobile provide a visible deterrent. In cooperation with the Sheriff, we have replaced the floor covering in the Police Building which had become an eyesore and safety hazard. I will shortly relocate the Building Department to the police Building to utilize space vacated by the Sheriff. With theincreased workload of the Building Department, the additional space will allow for more efficient and effective review of plans and documents, as well as processing applications. 3. As I previously reported, I am discussing the City's Sewage Collection System with our consulting engineers. I have received an initial proposal for an engineering evaluation May 10, 1984 City Manager's Report Page 2 of the. system, and am in the process of,reviewing the scopeand costs. I will present recommendation in the near future on this matter. 4, 1 am reviewing the City'sfinancial and information processing systems to implement the data processing improvements approved in this year's budget. We have acquired a Lanier Word Processing system to assist the City Clerk's office in the preparation, storage, and distribution of thedocuments that are generated by that office. The System is also capable of assisting other departments as a microprocessor. We are develop- ing specifications for financial and statistical soft - wars and hardware to assist the Finance and Building departments in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations. 5. The City's code enforcement activities are currently the responsibility of the Building Official.. With the in- creased construction activity that is occurring in the City, time to devote to a concentrated code enforcement Program is limited. The Building Official responds to complaints or ordinance violations and attempts to gain compliance, but has little time. to spend on a systematic review of the City. In order to meet the needs for code enforcement, an additional employee is required.. Initially, a codeenforcement inspector can be employed on part- time basis to identify code violations, seek compliance, and prepare cases for the Code Enforcement Board, if necessary. Costs for the remainder of the year would be approximately $3,500.00. This is easily offset by the revenue received from permits which already exceeds the annual budget, and from increased revenues generated from enforcement. _ DE-aderick C.

The City previously granted the Library $1,000.00 to hire part- time staff to allow the Library to expand its hours of operation in an effort to increase circulation.. The City funds have now been exhausted and funding the added staff will have to come from some other source.
