Copies of the responses are attached. After examing the matter closer, I believe the City should approach the facility issue in phases. A new recreation building should be constructed at the Recreation Complex to replace the present facility. This new building should be of adequate size to handle present and anticipated activities with provisions for future expansion when necessary. A building of 2,000 to 2,500 square feet would be acceptable. Space needs of City Hall can be addressed in the short run through utilization of portions of the Police Building. The Sheriff does not anticipate the need to use the entire building for much longer as he intends to relocate a number of the units now using the Police Building. The long range needs of City Hall can be addressed better as we analyze the impact of growth in the community as it occurs. • Mayor I City Council March 1, 1984 Page 2.

Should the Library Hoard be able to develop a multi-year growth plan with guaranteed funding to support the need for larger facilities, we could propose a new building at that time. Also, should the event arise that Cityfunds needed to be expended for lapatpermanentts, such as the library buildingrcoulddbempact Of Amendment planned. At this time, it would be advisable to allow the Recreation Board, in conjunction with City staff, to undertake a study to develop new recreation building. A preliminary building plan and cost estimates can be developed which will lead to a recommendation to proceed with construction. I would propose further that the Library and City Hall facility needs be examined after the vote on Amendment 1 has occurred. Fra er cc C.

I have contacted four mem- bers of the board and explained what you have requested. I gave them figures that I came up with regarding future library facilities, which they thought were satisfactory. Following is a comparison of the present library facilities and future needs: Present building 4,800 sa.ft.-would like to increase to 1O Uu - 12 000 so.ft. Auditorium- presently 27x29 ft,which is probably adequate, but wou like a Conference room approximately 16x18 ft. for smaller meetings. Books- presently 31,744 volumes, would like to increase to af—Zeast 60,00 volumes, with emphasis on a much stronger reference department. Children's section- presently 26x19 ft., should be at least x t. We will be discussing this further at our next library board meeting, scheduled for March 6th.

The Fire Department has recommended that these codes be adopted. The City adopted the Life Safety Code in 1978 as part of Code Chapter 621, "Fire Prevention Code". However, when this Chapter was revised to adopt the Standard Fire Prevention. Code- 1982 Edition, the Life Safety Cade was omitted. I request that the Mayor and City Council approve the advertising of adoption of these codes at this time. We will provide a formal presentation on the content and impact of the Codes at the March 15 Workshop meeting. Freder ck.

D U M TO: Mayor a City Council FROM: City Manager RE: ORDINANCE J27-83,SPECIAL' INSPECTOR - THRESHOLD BUILDING When Ordinance No. 27-83 was adopted, we anticipated that changes may be necessary as implementation began. The Ordinance provides that an Errors and omissions Bond for one million dollars be posted by and for the Special Inspector to the City of Cape Canaveral. The question that is now raised is does this provision mean one million dollars coverage for each occurence or in the aggregate? The City Attorney is of the opinion that the one million dollar limit is for each occurence. in researching this matter with other jurisidctions, we have found that those which require bond have accepted policies which allow for a $500,000 per occurrence, $1,000,000 aggregate coverage, with the exception of Titusville, which requires $5,000,000 coverage. Threshold inspectors are having difficulty obtaining insurance policies at a reasonable rate which comply with the City's coverage requirements. Their concern is that the premiums for the coverage, if obtainable, will drive the cost of construction upward, with the cost passed on to the buyers. The Mayor and City Council are requested to review this provision and act accordingly. iLl�o F e er ck C.

Refer City Code 623 Threshold Inspectors, Sec. 623.03 (C). (attached) The intent of this section for insurance/bond was to establish an.ladditinal liability between the Building Official (city) and the Developer/Builder/Contractor. The current wording of "—bond payable to the City of Cape Canaveral" is wrong and was Q hastily written, thou4h with proper intent. The wording should be "A million dollars in the aggregate, of4liability insurance payable on behalf of the inspector should liability incur from his actions." There are three jurisdictions which accept $500,000/1,000,000 insurance policies as required insurance (Cocoa Beach, County, "Ielbour"POLED The inspectors currenty available to Developers for work on buildings to soon go up in cape Canaveral cannot obtain insurance that miplies with the wording of our present ordinance. It is recogmended that the inspectors available wbo have,: the 500,000/1,000,000 type personal liability policies be alluded to perform as Special Inspectors and that the ordinance wording be changed.
