i
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Petsos and seconded by Mr. Bruns to
approve Ordinance 03 -2000 for second reading.
Mr. Petsos stated that this ordinance would help commercial businesses in the
City. Don Haynes agreed with the C -2 ordinance concept, and queried how the
status of his warehouse project would be impacted. City Attorney, Kohn
Bennett, responded that since the site plan was previously approved and three
} of the four warehouses have been constructed, the warehouse yet to be built
would be in conformity and not require a special exception.
Mr. Art Berger, resident and business owner, queried why the interior setbacks
were chosen for C -2, they coincide with M -1, not C -1. Mr. Bennett explained
that Council determined that because the district was previously characterized,
it is more consistent to use the M -1 district regulations. Mr. Berger related that
Mayor Randels informed him that there is an option to opt out of the C -2 zoning
change. Mr. Petsos retorted that no Council Member has the authority to
suggest this type of direction. Todd Peetz, City Planner of Ivey, Harris and
Williams, explained that the method of opting out would require applying for C -1
or M -1 zoning. Mr. Berger expressed concern that he owns two contiguous
E properties that are zoned differently. Mr. Bennett explained that contiguous
properties of one owner would be considered under the same zoning
regulations.

A motion was made by Mr. Petsos and seconded by Mr. Bruns to amend the
ordinance to delete parcel 758 which is currently zoned C -1. The parcel was
erroneously included, as it is C -1 property and only M -1 is being rezoned within
this ordinance.

The amending motion passed 5 -0, with voting as follows: Mr. Weber, For; Mr.
Treverton, For; Mr. Bruns, For; Mayor Pro Tem Petsos, For and Mayor Randels,
For.
The main motion passed 5 -0, with voting as follows: Mr. Weber, For; Mr.
Treverton, For; Mr. Bruns, For; Mayor Pro Tem Petsos, For and Mayor Randels,
For.
CONSIDERATIONS:
2. Public Works Director, Ed Gardulski, explained that Council requested
combining all landscaping contracts into one bid. He related that Nick's Lawn
Service was the low bid. Three bids were received and all documents were
reviewed. He reviewed the two areas separately and compared to current
pricing. The bid price was $1500 less that the current Wastewater mowing and
substantially lower than the other current bids. He explained that Nick's did
decrease their price overall by approximately twenty- percent from their current
contract.
Mr. Weber queried if there is a reason why Council should not accept the low
bid? Mr. Gardulski responded that there is no reason. Mr. Petsos commended
them for saving the City more than $10,000 from the previous contracts.
A motion was made by Mr. Bruns and seconded by Mr. Petsos to approve
awarding Landscape Service Bid #2000 -01 to Nick's Lawn Service.
Mayor Randels queried if Nick's was certain that their bid was correct because the
difference was substantial from the other contractors. Nick explained that some
work requirements were eliminated from the previous contract. He related that it
may be warranted to add some of those service back in the future, depending on
weather and other circumstances. Mr. Paul Hurley, Canaveral Sands resident,
asked who determined to make the cuts from the contract. Mayor Randels stated
3
that the Public Works Director made the decision based on recommendations from
the horticulturalist and maintenance supervisor.
The motion passed 5 -0, with voting as follows: Mr. Weber, For; Mr. Treverton,
For; Mr. Bruns, For; Mayor Pro Tem Petsos, For and Mayor Randels, For.

3. Public Works Director, Ed Gardulski, explained that the bids were advertised
and there were no responses. He related that he received two quotes since,
realizing that it is not within the purchasing regulations. He, therefore, requested I
that Council waive the bid process and accept one of the quotes.
A motion was made by Mr. Petsos and seconded by Mr. Bruns to approve the
Contract Award for Baffle Box Purchase and Installation, Santa Cruz
Construction in the amount of $36,050 in conjunction with the proposal.
