Mayor and Members of Council y%�
FROM: Deborah Haggerty Barker, City Treasurer o ""�
DATE: 01/23/97
RE: QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT AND BUDGET AMENDMENTS FOR
QUARTER ENDING 12/31/96
The following is a synopsis of the City's financial position
effective 12/31/96. Also included is a list of suggested budget
amendments reflecting changes in fiscal activity during the first
three months of the new fiscal year.
GENERAL FUND
REVENUE: "Federal Disaster Relief" has been supplemented via the
final F.E.M.A payment for damages incurred from Hurricane Erin in
August 1995. That claim has been processed in its entirety; the
City received $35,126.in total federal and state funds relating to
the Erin disaster. The "Recreation Grant" has been carried forward
from prior year. "Cash Forward" is used as a revenue source and
has been supplemented accordingly to encompass increased general
fund projects and purchases; refer to non -departmental segment for
details. Other changes are itemized by department, as follows:
EXPENSES BY DEPARTMENT:
LEGISLATIVE: There are no budget amendments recommended.
ADMINISTRATION: There are no budget amendments recommended.
PLANNING AND ZONING: An increase in "Planning Services" has
been brought forward from prior in conjunction with the E.A.R.
grant funding. Planning Services are attributed to professional
planning service fees based on activity with the Comprehensive
Plan, Call One and the E.A.R.
PUBLIC SAFETY: The "Police Service Contract" for 1996/97*has been
downsized by the amount of cash forward received from the 1995/96
Police Service Contract. As per my recollection at 96/97 budget
proceedings, the Council was desirous to contemplate the earmarking
any surplus funds from the 95/96 contract for the purchase of
additional law enforcement vehicles. This surplus (less increases
in general fund operating expenses) has been routed to the general
fund contingency to cover the cost of additional law enforcement
vehicles. A "School Resource Officer" line item has been added to
support our City's prorated share of the school resource officer at
Cocoa Beach High School for the remainder of the 1996 school year.
FIRE: There are no budget amendments recommended.
Budget Amendments
Q: 12/31/96
Page 2
BUILDING: There are no budget amendments recommended.
STREET: There are no budget amendments recommended.
RECREATION: The "Rental and Leases" line item has been
supplemented for the annual lease expense of the Long Point Road
Park Property. "Capital Items" has been increased for the purchase
of a pool table for the youth center.
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD: There are no budget amendments
recommended.
LEGAL: There are no budget amendments recommended.
GARBAGE SERVICE: There are no budget amendments recommended.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: There are no budget amendments
recommended.
NON -DEPARTMENTAL: "Grant Writing Services" has been supplemented
to cover the Emergency Management Grant costs associated with
obtaining hurricane shutters and an emergency generator for City
facilities. "Ethics Case Reimbursement Fees" were increased to
cover expenses incurred by Mayor Porter on the successful defense
of a recent E.E.O.C. complaint. "Transfer to Capital Improvement
Fund" has been heartily upsized, by project, as follows:
•58K was carried forward from prior year for the Sheriff's
Department remodeling project. 0$47,748. was carried forward from
prior year for the FRDAP grant. 915K was allotted for the City
Clerk's Scanning Server to be used in conjunction with the Optical
Imaging Computer System. eAn additional $438. was allocated towards
the purchase of the Street Department Pick -Up Truck. *The Fire
Department Staff Vehicle was appropriated under budget by ($792.)
• The BallPark Fencing Project was carried forward from prior year
in the amount of $15,193. The culmination of these itemized
projects calculate to an additional $135,582. within the 96/97
budget.
BEAUTIFICATION FUND
The capital purchase of a mulch storage bin was carried forward
from the 1995/96 budget; the "Cash Forward" and "Capital" line
items have been adjusted commensurately for this purchase.
Budget Amendments
Q: 12/31/96
Page 3
STORMDRAINAGE FUND
"Interest Expense" has been adjusted accordingly to pay interest
coupons that were submitted for payment during the quarter. The
contingency "Reserve" account was supplemented for this purpose.
CAPITAL EXPANSION TRUST FUND
"General Government Impact Fees" were allocated for the purchase of
the City Clerk's Optical Imaging System. This purchase was
supported by "General Government Contingency" and "Cash Forward" as
a revenue source.
SEWER ENTERPRISE FUND
"Interest Income" accounts for the respective State Revolving Loan
Fund Accounts have been introduced for this budget year and have
been adjusted in accordance with expectations. "Cash Forward" has
been utilized to supplement additional expenditures. "Expansion
Fund" costs have been increased to support on-going engineering
fees related to plant & reuse expansion. 52K has been allocated to
the "Tower Boulevard Paving Project." The "Contingency" account
has been tapped to offset increased projects.
FINANCIAL RECAP
The City completed the first quarter of the 1996-97 in a positive
financial position in all funds.
Within the General Fund, revenues are being received in accordance
with projections; within an appropriate overall collection
percentage rate of 25%. Expenditures by department are suitable
and within expectations. The capital expenditures have increased
substantially, however the bulk of such expenses are associated
with projects and/or grant activity that has rolled forward from
the 1995/96 fiscal year.
The Sewer Enterprise Fund continues to illustrate significant
fiscal activity in conjunction with Wastewater Plant Expansion and
Reuse System implementation. All State Revolving Loan Fund
activity, including receipts and disbursements, is transpiring
smoothly and in compliance with loan specifications.
Budget Amendments
Q: 12/31/96
Page 4
The fiscal activity of all other City funds not specifically cited
herein is within expected parameters; there are no irregularities
to report.
As expected, the City will enter the second quarter of the 1996-97
fiscal year in a proper and sound financial position.
Thank you for the opportunity to update you on the City's fiscal
posture as of December 31, 1996.

ship passengers embarking and debarking in Florida.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City council of the City of

ISSUING NEW PERMITS FOR CELLULAR TELEPHONE OR SIMILAR
TYPE COMMUNICATION ANTENNAS IN THE CITY OF CAPE
CANAVERAL; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING
FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, this Council has determined that recent federal legislation related to the
communications industry has produced persistent current interest and is expected to produce new
interest in the future in the provision of cellular communication coverage in the City of Cape
Canaveral; and
WHEREAS, the current Zoning Code of the City of Cape Canaveral was adopted at a
time before cellular communication towers were anticipated and, therefore, appropriate siting and
development standards do not exist; and
WHEREAS, the uncontrolled siting of such communication towers could have significant
adverse effects and cause irreparable harm; and
WHEREAS, long delays and uncertainty of the permit process due to lack of clear siting
and development standards is an unreasonable limitation upon the communication companies
seeking to provide cellular service; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary for the City to act carefully in a field with rapidly evolving
technology and undertake a deliberative public process to establish policies, standards, and
procedures related to the siting of antenna towers.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Cape
Canaveral, Brevard County, Florida, as follows:
City of Cape Canaveral
Ordinance No. 25-96
Page 2
SECTION 1. That the above recitals are adopted as Findings of Fact which clearly
indicate that an emergency exists and thereby justify the imposition of a 180 day moratorium on
the siting of cellular telephone and similar type communication antennas or towers in the City of
Cape Canaveral.
SECTION 2. During the period of the City Council moratorium, the City will develop
appropriate siting criteria and limitations to govern future cellular telephone and similar type
communication antennas. These will, at a minimum, include potential number or density
limitations for such towers in all zoning districts and on public property. Also, during this
moratorium, the City will develop an appropriate permitting process for considering siting
requests. The City of Cape Canaveral Planning and Zoning Board will conduct at least one (1)
public hearing on the criteria or limitations and permitting process and make recommendations to
the City Council
SECTION 3. The tasks described in Section 2 will require approximately 180 days to
complete; therefore, this Ordinance shall expire on July 6, 1997.
SECTION 4. If any section, paragraph, phrase, or word of this Ordinance is held to be
unconstitutional or invalid, such portion shall not affect the remaining portions hereof, and it shall
be construed to have been a legislative intent to pass this Ordinance without such unconstitutional
or invalid part.
SECTION 5. Because it is found and declared that a public emergency exists justifying
the immediate effectiveness of this Ordinance, this Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force
immediately upon its passage.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 01-97, GAS FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH NUI CORPORATION,
DBA CITY GAS COMPANY OF FLORIDA
DEPTJDIVISION: LEGISLATIVE
Requested Action:
That the City Council consider adoption of this ordinance at first reading.
Summary Explanation & Background:
Assistant City Attorney Anthony Garganese and I have been negotiating this agreement for quite sometime, and
we recommend that the City Council proceed with the formal adoption of this agreement and forward it to NUI
for execution.
There are (2) points of contention; the first being the term of the agreement. NUI wants 30 years, in exchange
for the new marketing strategy language in Section 3.3.
Secondly, NUI opposes the definition of "gross annual revenue"; they want a narrow definition. I contend the
proposed definition is fair and adequate and unless NUI can show evidence that some of their services are
exempt from the assessment of franchise fees, I would recommend that council keep this proposed definition.
I recommend approval at first reading.

hereafter to be paid by any Federal, State, or local law.
9.3 Acceptance by the City. Subject to applicable law, no acceptance of any
