Mayor Pro Tem Petsos asked for clarification since the funds requested are already included to cover other expenditures. Ms. Bowers affirmed that the money not needed in this year's Law Enforcement contract has been used to fund City operations. Mr. Boucher explained that the Council funded the additional positions for the Sheriff's Department with $230,000 of Reserve Funds. During the Budget presentation the Sheriff's Department reported $100,000 remaining unused however an employee retired from the Department and funds were expended to offset his retirement leaving approximately $80,000. Mr. Boucher suggested that the Council listen to Lt. Young's reasons for the proposed purchases before making a decision. Mr. Boucher reported that a large amount of Cash Forward was used to pay for the additional positions. He stated that if any monies were received back from the Department, it should be returned to the General Fund. Mayor Randels asked if the requested items were Capital needs. Lt.

Mayor Pro Tem Petsos stated that the Law Enforcement five -year plan did not include these purchases. Lt. Young replied that changing technologies make defined purchase times difficult. Mr. Boucher concluded that this item could be discussed during contract negotiations. The Item Failed for Lack of a Motion. 8. Motion to Approve: Quarterly Budget Report and Transfers for the Third Quarter Ending June 30, 2003. Ms. Bowers stated that she used the remaining Sheriff's department funds plus an additional $36,000 to cover the increases in the budget. She stated that there was approximately $78,000 in the Reserve Fund. Ms. Bowers stated that Worker's Compensation costs were increased based on salaries as well as rates and the Building Department jobs are considered high -risk employment. She also stated that outside plan reviews accounted for an increase in the Building Department budget. Mr. City of Cape Canaveral, Florida City Council Regular Meeting August 19, 2003 Page 5 Morley responded that the Building Department did not have an in -house plan reviewer for some time, however staff now performs those reviews. He replied that a five -story, stand -alone project such as Cape Club would require structural review at a cost. However, that cost is recouped when the permit fee is paid. Mr. Morley explained that there are two ways to pay for plans reviews: 1) to pay up front and recoup in the end, or 2) to require an escrow deposit sufficient to cover the cost before the review is submitted, then the money is available when the planning bill arrives. He favored the second concept. Ms. Bowers stated that this quarter's Budget Transfer is the last one for the fiscal year. Mayor Randels expressed disapproval with the lack of coordination between the Clerk of Court and the Sheriff's office regarding Fines and Forfeitures. Ms. Bowers related that she discovered approximately 240 data input errors on the County Clerk's side and an undisclosed amount of errors on the Sheriff's Department side due to tickets not attributed to the Cape Canaveral jurisdiction. Mayor Pro Tem Petsos inquired about the 21 percent increase in the Streets Department budget. Ms. Bowers replied that increased maintenance on City facilities accounted for the increase such as the air quality study. A motion was made by Mr. Morgan and seconded by Mr. Hoog to Approve the Quarterly Budget Report and Transfers for the Third Quarter Ending June 30, 2003. The vote on the motion carried 5-0 with voting as follows: Mr. Hoog, For; Mr. ru Morgan, For, Mayor Pro Tem Petsos, For; Mayor Randels, For and Mr. Treverton, For. ORDINANCES: Second Public Hearing: 9. Motion to Adopt: Ordinance No. 03 -2003; Establishing Height and Density Requirements for Landscaping, Screening, Fencing, Walls and Hedges. Mayor Randels read Ordinance No. 03 -2003 by title. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 110 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, RELATING TO REQUIRED LANDSCAPING AND VISUAL SCREENING; PROVIDING FOR HEIGHT, DENSITY AND PLACEMENT OF VISUAL SCREENING, SUCH AS FENCING, WALLS, AND HEDGES; PROVIDING FOR REQUIRED VISUAL SCREENING BETWEEN COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL AND RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS; PROVIDING FOR INTERIOR LANDSCAPING FOR OFF -STREET PARKING SPACE ALLOCATIONS WITHIN THE C -2 ZONING DISTRICT; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF PRIOR CONFLICTING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS; PROVIDING FOR INCORPORATION INTO THE CODE; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Hoog asked if hedges were removed from the residential district. Attorney Garganese stated that Subparagraph (b) contains regulations pertaining to hedges. He read from Section 1, Subparagraph (b) which reads, "a minimum height at time of planting of three - feet and will be required to reach a maximum height of six (6) feet" when used as a City of Cape Canaveral, Florida City Council Regular Meeting August 19, 2003 Page 6 screen, "a density of at least eighty (80) percent opacity with two (2) years of planting." Attorney Garganese replied that this requirement applies whenever a hedge is used as a screen pertaining to any area. Mr. Hoog said that by removing the requirement from residential, a hedge could grow unencumbered. He asked for clarification. Mayor Randels replied that the intent was to allow a hedge to grow past six (6) feet. However, along the front 25 -feet of a property line, four (4) -feet is the requirement and only allowed higher growth between two neighboring houses. Attorney Garganese clarified that within 25 -feet of a public right -of -way, a hedge could not exceed four (4) -feet in height the same as a solid fence. Attorney Garganese explained that Subsection (b) was created to relate to hedges. Mr. Hoog said that a hedge on the corner of Poinsetta and Jefferson blocks visibility. Mr. Treverton asked if the Code Enforcement office cites violations to the hedge height requirement. Mr. Morley affirmed that observing hedge height is part of Code Enforcement duties. Mayor Randels said that such a concern should be input into the City's complaint tracking system. Attorney Garganese concluded that Subparagraph (a) applies to fences and walls and subparagraph (b) to hedges. Mayor Pro Tem Petsos read from code Section 110 -469, "at a corner lot in any zoning district nothing with the exception of traffic signs, utility poles and open chain Zink fence or wire fence shall be erected, placed, planted or allowed to grow between a height of 2 and '/z -feet and 10 -feet of the center grade of the existing street and in the triangular area bounded on two sides by the street right-of-way."

Mayor Randels concluded that Council would review Section 110- 469 during a subsequent code review.

City of Cape Canaveral, Florida City Council Regular Meeting August 19, 2003 ® Page 7 Mr. Hoog requested clarification on the differences between the County ordinance and the proposed ordinance. Attorney Garganese stated that the County has a public nudity law that applies with all municipalities. In that law cities are permitted to opt out if they desire, however Cape Canaveral has not requested to opt out. Under routine Code review, Section 50 -2 was adopted prior to the adoption of the County ordinance and to avoid any inconsistency he recommended that the Council repeal Section 50 -2. This puts the City in complete jurisdiction of Brevard County's Public Nudity law. Mr. Morgan asked if the County's ordinance was in compliance with the Supreme Court decisions. Attorney Garganese affirmed. Attorney Garganese restated that repealing Section 50 -2 would eliminate any inconsistencies. He stated that the other component of Ordinance No. 18- 2003 is to establish consistency between the City's code and the County ordinance on specified anatomical areas.
