responded that a copy of the Ordinance would be forwarded to the Port with the request for their
cooperation in adopting similar regulations as well. Mr. Bob Hoog questioned the inspection
requirements and the potential for liability. Mr. Kancilia stated that it was ultimately the

violations within the City's jurisdiction. Motion carried with members voting as follows:

2. Discussi Re Proposed franchise agreement for water service with the City of Cocoa.
Mr. William H. Stephenson, Utilities /Public Works Director for City of Cocoa, gave a brief
background of the history of the Cocoa water system. He stated that in August, the City of
Cocoa completed a major refinancing of the water system taking advantageous of long -term low
interest rates and it had also acquired $25 million in new monies to continue to develop its well
field and to bring on line the Taylor Creek Reservoir as a supplemental water source to
guarantee its customers adequate water supplies into the next century.
Mr. Randels commented on changes included in the proposed franchise agreement. Mr.
Nicholas questioned the amount of funds that were turned over to the City of Cocoa's General
Fund from the water plant operation and Mr. Stephenson responded that it was approximately
$800,000 per year. Ms. Haggerty questioned whether or not most cities passed the costs of fire
hydrant maintenance to their customers. Mr. Stephenson stated that all of the municipalities paid
the same annual rental charge on fire hydrants to the City of Cocoa and the municipalities were
billed directly. He explained that in the unincorporated areas of the County, (44% of Cocoa's
customers) the fire hydrant fee was added to the water bills of the unincorporated customers as
a separate fee at approximately $1.00 per month per customer.
Mr. Boucher questioned the 25 % surcharge on the water rates to consumers located within Cape
Canaveral and the proposed legislation to lower the surcharge to 10 %. He asked that the
language included in Section 12, Water Charges, be more specific to address the levy of the
surcharge per Florida Statutes. Mr. Stephenson stated that Florida Statutes provided the City
of Cocoa with its ability to set rates outside its City limits for water service and that the
franchise agreement could include a direct reference to that particular Florida Statute. Mr.
Kancilia stated that a reference to the general statutes would cover both parties; he would add
the following wording to the first sentence of Section 12 (a): "or the maximum surcharge
provided by any general or special State law ".
5. Dis cussion & Motion Re: Water Conservation Plan .
Mr. Boucher explained that the City staff had been working on the Water Conservation Plan
which had to be submitted to the St. Johns River Water Management District by January 13,
1994. He stated that the City of Cocoa had provided the City with flow control devices to be
distributed to City residents and that the City's Building Department personnel would offer the
flow control devices to residents as they came in for permits. He explained that the St. Johns
plumbing code was more restrictive than the City's and revisions would be made to the City's
plumbing code. The City would also be disseminating water conservation educational

Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
January 4, 1994
Page 9
information to the citizens. The Plan would be submitted to St. Johns for comments and its
approval. Mr. Randels questioned if St. Johns would require a dual irrigation system in new
housing developments for reuse water. Mr. Stephenson responded that if the City had a reuse
system in place then a Plan would be needed for implementation and growth of the reuse system.
He stated that the City of Cocoa's reuse system was for irrigation purposes and non - potable
uses. He commented that St. Johns was mainly interested in the use of ultralow now plumbing
fixtures, the legal requirements for moisture sensors on irrigation systems, and xeriscape
regulations.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mayor Salamone to approve the Water Conservation Plan
as presented. Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For;
Councilman Berger, For; Councilman Nicholas, For; Councilman Randels, For.
3. Discussion & Motion Re: Release of capital funds to fund capital eq items and
funds to fill two (2) part-time positions.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Randels to release the capital funds to fund the
capital equipment. Mayor Salamone stated that the City Manager had proposed a change in the
structure of the Building Department positions (upgrading to full -time Secretary II position and
reducing the full -time Code Enforcement Officer position to part- time). She asked Council for
more time to research the implications of restructuring the Building Department. She advised
that in 1993 there were 85 building permits issued, but that last month, there were 37 incidents
of Code Enforcement.
Mr. Nicholas asked for the rationale behind the proposal to change the Building Department
positions; he stated that the Council should go along with the budgeted recommendations which
were for a full -time Code Enforcement Officer and a part-time Secretary. Mayor Salamone
stated that the Building Department had not shown the need for a full -time Secretary. Mr.
Berger stated that he wanted to hear the concerns of the City Manager and the Building
Department because they would be knowledgeable as to which position required a full -time
employee. He stated that the Building Inspector (if the trend continued at approximately 85
building permits per year) could also do many of the Code Enforcement functions. He
advocated using a Building Inspector who knew the Building codes to issue Code Enforcement
violations as most of the violations were relative to building structures.
Mr. Boucher stated that he had spoken to Building Department staff and that the City was losing
an individual through retirement who had been with the City for eight (8) years who also had
secretarial skills. He advised that the Building Official felt that a full -time Secretary was needed
to handle the high volume of paperwork within the Department. He stated that having a part-
time Code Enforcement Officer who could be certified under Building Code certification would
~ . - be an asset to the Department. He stated that after looking over the overall operation of the
Department, a full -time Secretary was needed.

Page 10
Mr. Berger stated in his contacts with Mrs. Hutcherson, she appeared to work more as a
Secretary than as a Code Enforcement Officer. Mayor Salamone stated that Mrs. Hutcherson's
secretarial work was for Code Enforcement rather than the Department as a whole. Mr.
Nicholas suggested scheduling this item for further discussion at the next workshop and asking
that the Building Department personnel be present at the workshop. Mr. Berger stated that he
was inclined to go along with Mr. Boucher's recommendation.
Mr. Boucher stated that there would be no secretarial support in the Building Department after
February 4th. Mr. Randels stated that he did not wish to downgrade anything in Code
Enforcement and that the Code Enforcement Officer for the past few months had been doing
100% secretarial work. Mr. Randels suggested discussing the item at the next workshop and
not waiting until the first workshop in February. Council concurred to schedule the item for
discussion at the next Council workshop on January 13th.
Mr. Randels stated that Florida Statutes required a certified Building Official. Mr. Boucher
explained that Mr. Kleving was submitting for his standard certification in five (5) areas; and
Mr. Morgan would be submitting his standard or limited for his Building Official status by
F March 31, 1994. He explained that a limited certificate would require that the individual obtain
full certification within two (2) years. Mr. Boucher stated that if a full -time Code Enforcement
Officer was hired, he would want someone who was willing to become certified in one or more
of the building categories.
Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Councilman Berger,
For; Councilman Nicholas, For; Councilman Randels, For.
4. Discussion & Motion Re: Resolution No 94 -01 Approving the final plat of Ocean
Court.
Mayor Salamone read the title of the Resolution.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY,
FLORIDA; APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT OF "OCEAN COURT "; AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR AND THE CITY CLERK TO CERTIFY THE PLAT; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mayor Salamone to adopt Resolution No. 94 -01. Mr.
Nicholas stated that there were still problems with the submittal of information regarding
preliminary and final plats to the Boards or the City Council within the required time frame.
He asked that requests not be submitted to the Board unless all requirements had been met.
Mayor Salamone stated that all Boards should be notified that if an item came before them
^ without all the required paperwork that it should be tabled. Mr. Kancilia explained that once
an item was placed on an agenda, the determination of how to proceed was decided by that
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida

i
particular Board. If Council wanted to limit the Board's ability to consider a matter when the
application was incomplete, then the ordinance would need to be revised. He stated that Council
may want to advise the Boards that unless all the application items were submitted that they had
no jurisdiction to take any action. Council concurred to ask Mr. Kancilia to amend the
ordinance as suggested.
Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Councilman Berger,
For; Councilman Nicholas, For; Councilman Randels, For.
6. Discussion Re: Possible formulation of a Cooperative Committee between the City.
Canaveral Port Authority, and the City of Cocoa Beach.
Mr. Boucher advised that Mr. Porter had suggested that elected officials from the three (3) local
entities meet once a month to address mutual concerns. Mayor Salamone volunteered to serve
as the member from Cape Canaveral. She stated that the first meeting would be Wednesday,
February 2, 1994, with the time and place to be determined later. Mr. Randels questioned
_ whether the committee would be composed of City staff members and /or elected officials. He
expressed his opinion that the City Managers and Port Manager be included in the committee.
Mr. Kancilia advised that there was an Attorney General's opinion which stated that boards or
commissions that were created by interlocal agreement may constitute a board or commission
subject to the Sunshine Law. If the local governmental entities had authorized the creation of
the committee and had also authorized their designee to act on their behalf as their agent or
authorized that the individual on that committee to make recommendations to the respective
governing bodies as to courses of future action, the committee would be subject to the Sunshine
Law. He suggested that the charter of the proposed Committee be one of fact finding only. Mr.
Nicholas suggested enacting a resolution denoting the limitations of its powers, functions, and
responsibilities of the Committee. Council concurred to ask Mr. Kancilia to prepare the
resolution for the next workshop.
After a five - minute break, the meeting was reconvened.
7. D iscussion Re: City Attorney's Quarterly Report
Mr. Kancilia advised that there was one item on the Quarterly Report that required Council's
attention which was the matter of Royal Mansions Condominium Association vs. the City. He
stated that Judge Evander issued an order which stated that the individual unit owners would be
members of the class which was represented by the Condominium Association and would be
bound by a judgement in that case unless the City sought a cost judgement against the
defendants. If the City intended to seek a cost judgement against the unit owners, the owners
would be allowed to opt out of the class. If the owners opted out of the class, the owners would
not be bound by the judgement which would be rendered in the case. Mr. Kancilia stated that
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
January 4, 1994
U Page 12
the City expected a favorable result and his recommendation to Council would be that the City
Attorney be allowed to tell Mr. Healy, who was conducting the litigation in the case, that the
City would not seek a cost judgement against the individual unit owners, thereby allowing the
City to get a judgement against the unit owners. The City could then proceed to enforce the
ordinance against the unit owners as written and the unit owners would not be able to appeal to
the court by saying that the City's ordinance was invalid if the City prevailed in the case.
Council concurred with Mr. Kancilia's recommendation.
Mr. Nicholas questioned the time limitation on the employee complaints against the City
included in the City Attorney's Quarterly Report where no further action had been taken. Mr.
Kancilia stated that depending on the type of action, the typical limitation of the actions would
be four (4) years from the date of the alleged wrongdoing on the part of the City.
8. City Manager's Report.
Mr. Boucher commented on the possibility of regulating the landing of helicopters within the
_ City's jurisdiction. He stated that the City had the right to only regulate a heliport business.
F r"1 Mayor Salamone stated that she did not want helicopter landings in the City, except in
emergencies. She asked the City Attorney to determine if the City could eliminate the helicopter
landings in the City, except for emergencies.
Mr. Boucher stated that several local communities within the County had been certifying basic
cable service rates. A memo outlining the specifics of the certification was included in the
Councilmembers' packets. Council concurred to place the item for discussion at the next
workshop meeting.
Mr. Boucher briefly mentioned the extra contractual legal expense insurance that was included
under the City's current policy with Florida League of Cities. Mayor Salamone stated that
recently in the newspaper it was reported that three (3) Councilmembers had been before an
Ethics Commission and been acquitted of all allegations against them. She stated that it had cost
the Councilmembers tremendous out -of- pocket expenses. She explained that legal expense
insurance coverage would pay 60% of the legal fees. Mayor Salamone stated that the charges
were done in a malicious manner and she believed that the City should reimburse those
Councilmembers for the remaining 40 %. She wanted the City to pursue legal action against the
individuals who had made the malicious charges for the 40% reimbursement. Mr. Nicholas
agreed with Mayor Salamone's comments and he questioned if the errors and omissions portion
of the insurance would cover the legal fees. Mr. Boucher stated that the errors and omissions
insurance excluded ethics violations.
Mr. Kancilia advised that he would further research the possibility of the suggested litigation.
He stated that there was a provision under the ethics part of the State Statutes which allowed the
Ethics Commission to attempt to recover fees and costs against a complainant for a frivolous
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
�,, ...,. January 4, 1994
Page 0
complaint. He stated that the Ethics Commission provision had a very short time frame and he
would need to determine whether or not there was another avenue of relief available. Mr.
Kancilia stated that Councilmembers were entitled under Florida Statutes, Section 111.07, for
reimbursement for successful defense of a civil action. The Statute had been interpreted to
exclude ethics complaints, but there was a common law theory of recovery which permitted
cities to reimburse Councilmembers for defense of ethics complaints because it was a part of
their duties as a Councilmember. Council concurred to have the City Attorney further research
the matter.
Mr. Boucher reminded Council that Brevard County Commissioner Karen Andreas would be
holding a town forum on Wednesday, January 5, 1994, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the Council
Chambers.
Council concurred to reschedule the Special Workshop Meeting to discuss the proposed
Personnel Rules and Regulations from January 10, 1994, to Tuesday, January 25, 1994, at 6:00
p. M.
Mr. Boucher stated he had spoken with Ron Ferland, Dyer, Riddle, Mills & Precourt, to set up
the scope of services for evaluating the current wastewater plant and the reuse option with Cocoa
- -- Beach and the cost analysis report would be presented at the January 27th workshop meeting.
Mr. Boucher stated that he had available for Council's review a 50- minute video tape on reuse;
Mayor Salamone borrowed the tape.
Mayor Salamone asked that a discussion item regarding an Architectural Review Board be placed
on the next workshop meeting's agenda.
Ms. Haggerty mentioned that the Equity Study Commission meeting was scheduled for January
19, 1994, at 7:00 P.M., and she briefly explained the goals and objectives of the Commission.

1. Discussion & Motion Re: Reimbursement of expenditures incurred by former
Councilmember Ann Thurm in defense of ethics complaint.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Nicholas to approve the reimbursement of legal fees
and travel expenses in the amount of $941.25 to former councilmember Mrs. Ann Thurm in her
defense of an ethics complaint.
Mr. Kancilia advised that Councilmembers were entitled to recover from municipalities,
attorneys fees incurred, if the ethics complaint was dismissed, along with the reimbursement of
expenses as provided in Florida Statutes, Chapter 301. He explained that recovery to recoup
the losses would not be likely in Mrs. Thurm's case, due to technical impediments and that the
City would have to show that the action was filed maliciously and frivolously and the City would
have to show damage. He noted that each case for reimbursement would stand on its own merits
since the facts in each case were different.
Mayor Salamone stated that she had requested at the last workshop meeting, that this agenda
item be posted for reimbursement for all people involved in the ethics complaint, not one person.
She advised that Council had agreed that as a group, the City would pursue legal action against
the people who had caused these expenses for the taxpayers of Cape Canaveral. She explained
that Council believed that the ethics complaint was unfair, frivolous and filed all at one time.
Council agreed that the citizens of Cape Canaveral had a right to be reimbursed for the money

that the City was about to expend for the people who served during that time. She advised Mr.
Kancilia that Council would ask him to file a lawsuit to recoup the money as a City. She
believed that combining the cases together would save the City money.
Mr. Kancilia advised that combining the claims would be more economical. He did not believe
that combining the claims would make one claim better than another. He would evaluate Mr.
Porter's case more highly than Mrs. Thurm's because of the facts involved. He noted that a
conspiracy could be alleged and that it would be possible to have the four complainants within
the same suit under a conspiracy theory since the group of individuals conspired to cause damage
to the City Council.
Mr. Boucher advised that the Florida League of Cities viewed Mrs. Thurm's case as an
administrative hearing not a judicial hearing, therefore, it was not covered under the City's
errors and omissions insurance coverage.
2. Motion Re: Release of funds to fill one Ll full -time SecretaU II and one (1) part-time

P a
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger to release funds to fill one full -time Secretary
II position in the Building Department and one part-time Accounting Clerk position in the

5, Motion Re: Certification to regulate basic cable service rates.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger to authorize the City Manager to file for rate
regulation of basic cable service rates and equipment. Discussion was held regarding cable
rates. Mr. Boucher noted that Indian Harbour Beach had elected not to become certified. He
r stated that the only benefit the City would have by entering into the certification was that the
1_ FCC would appear at a public meeting announcing that there would be a rate increase. Mayor
Salamone advised that the City had no control over the FCC. It was noted that once the City
became certified, the FCC would be required to appear before Council, at a public hearing,
before raising cable rates. Council agreed not to enter into the certification to regulate cable
rates because entering into the contract would not enhance anything for the citizens or reduce
expenses. Motion failed unanimously with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone,
Against; Mayor Pro Tern Porter, Against; Councilmember Berger, Against; Councilmember
Nicholas, Against; Councilmember Randels, Against.

/ NEW BUSINESS:
1. Motion Re: Authorization for Ci,jy Manager to pursue proposed public access reuse
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to authorize the City Manager and staff to
pursue the design, plan and permitting of the public access reuse system and any associated
interlocal agreements that would be required to implement and permit the system. Mr. Boucher
advised that he had obtained a copy of a reuse survey that had been proposed earlier which
would be sent to all City residents via utility billing lists. Discussion ensued regarding the
proposed reuse system. Mr. Nicholas suggested that the reuse proposal with Cocoa Beach
include "up to one million gallons of reuse" rather than a set figure of one million gallons and
that the reuse contract be short-term. He also wanted the City to pursue the feasibility of Cocoa
Beach paying for the pump station connections. Mr. Randels spoke in favor of the reuse
program. There was extensive discussion regarding the items which should be discussed during
the negotiations with Cocoa Beach and the Port for the proposed public access reuse program.
Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tem Porter,
For; Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
2. Motion Re: Proposal for Agreement for Design and Construction Services for the
77 ` _ Replacement of Pump Station No. 1
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to authorize the City Manager to pursue the
plan, design and construction of the replacement of Pump Station No. 1 at a cost of $33,047.
Mr. Randels addressed questions regarding the Compensation Summary provided by Dyer,
Riddle, Mills & Precourt. Mr. Ron Ferland, Vice President of Dyer, Riddle, Mills & Precwurt,
stated that he would reduce the contract price by 10% ($3,000). He explained that each
individual lift station had specific hydraulic, sighting and electrical considerations. Mr. Ferland
further explained the main components of the design activity for the pump station.
Mr. Berger arrived at the meeting at this time.
Mr. Ferland stated that the estimated cost of construction of the pump station was $188,000.
Mayor Salamone stated that the motion was for the design and construction services for the
replacement of Pump Station No. 1 at a cost not to exceed $30,046. Motion carried with
members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For;
Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
3. Motion Re: Request by Lillian Joyce Dulworth to waive storage fee imposed on
impounded vehicle
Mr. Kancilia advised that the ordinance which regulated seizing of private property that became
effective in April 1993 no longer required an automatic storage fee of $10.00 per day. In the
Dulworth case, the City had not incurred storage charges, but it had incurred towing charges
of $20.00. Mr. Nicholas questioned if the item should have been handled administratively since
no provision existed for Council to waive fees. After an ensuing discussion, Council concluded
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
February 1, 1994
Page 6
that it was in the City Manager's jurisdiction to handle the matter administratively.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Porter to instruct the City Manager to take care
of the matter. Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor
Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For;
Councilmember Randels, For.
4. Motion Re: Reimbursement of expenditures incurred by Mayor Pro Tem John Porter in
defense of ethics complaint
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to authorize the reimbursement of
expenditures incurred by Mayor Pro Tem Porter in defense of ethics complaint in the amount
$2,507.55. Mayor Salamone read the outcome of the complaints: Accordingly, these
complaints are dismissed with the issuance of this public report". Mr. Kancilia stated that one
of the considerations in the reimbursement of travel expenses was the City's travel policy which
limited the amount of travel expenses that a Councilmember or a member of City staff may
incur. There was discussion regarding the travel expense limitations and whether or not the
limitations should apply to the reimbursement of expenditures incurred by Councilmembers in
defense of ethics complaints.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to amend the motion to reimburse the
expenditures of Mayor Pro Tem Porter in compliance with the City's travel policy. Motion
carried with members voting as follows:

Mayor Pro Tem Porter expressed his opinion that people who file charges against public officials
should be somewhat responsible for the outcome. He stated that if he had been found guilty
under Florida law then he would have borne the total costs, but when people made false
accusations and placed others under this type of expense then the responsibility for the expenses
should be on the accusers and not on the City. Mayor Salamone stated that Mr. Kancilia would
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting

Page 7
be instructed to retrieve the funds from the individuals who had initially made the charges. She
also felt that since the case was totally dismissed without issuance, that Mr. Kancilia needed to
pursue legal action against the individuals quickly to reimburse the City for the expenses. Mr.
Bob Hoog questioned why the City had removed spouses and family members from City Boards.
Mayor Salamone stated that the City had not removed any members from City Boards and she
explained the events that had led up to the referendum issue on the nepotism question being
placed on the election ballot. She explained that the referendum totally forbid married volunteer
Board members from serving on two different City Boards. She stated that she had asked Mr.
Kancilia to determine whether or not the City could present a referendum issue to the voters in
November to ask that the City follow the State nepotism provisions which were less stringent
than the City's current charter provision regarding nepotism.
5. Motion Re: Reimbursement of expenditures incurred by Councilmember Rocky Randels
in defense of ethics complaint
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Nicholas to authorize the reimbursement in
accordance with the City's travel policy of expenditures incurred by Councilmember Rocky
Randels in defense of ethics complaint in the amount of $1,957.25 which was dismissed with
the issuance of the Ethics Commission public report. Motion carried with members voting as

7. City Manager's R ort
Mr. Boucher referenced his memo regarding the status of the sewage franchise agreement
negotiations with Canaveral Port Authority. The City had requested that the Port pay a reserve
capacity fee in the amount of $1,859,966 to reserve 250,000 gallons per day of sewage capacity.
Mr. Boucher stated that he had come to an impasse with the Port staff. He stated that the Port's
Director of Engineering had advised that he would recommend to his Board that the Port pursue
the permit and design of its own wastewater treatment facility. He stated that if the Port was
taking that stand that the Council should tell Mr. Ferland to design the City's facility without
the Port's participation in the system.
Mayor Salamone stated that she had met with Mr. Joe Lapolla, Canaveral Port Authority, and
that he had stated that the City's financing of the $1.8 million over a 30 year period would not
affect the sewer base rate charged to City residents /businesses. She asked the Port to show that
scenario to the Council and explained that the City had also been looking at a wholesale sewage
agreement. She stated the City had not completely stopped negotiations with the Port.
Mr. Nicholas commented that he felt the City should put the Port on notice that the City
[- intended to terminate its contract with the Port prior to the year 2000. There was further
- -� discussion regarding the continuing negotiations with the Port, the up -front funds required by
the City, the quality of the Port's sewage being discharged into the City's treatment system, and
the possibility of the Port constructing its own treatment system.
After a ten - minute break, the meeting was reconvened.
Mr. Boucher advised that the recodification of the City's Code of Ordinances would be delayed
by one month; but all of the ordinances adopted through Ordinance No. 09 -94 (since the proofs
were returned to Municipal Code) would be included in the new Code free of charge.
Mr. Boucher stated that City department heads traveled to Orlando to receive the 1993
Excellence in Safety Award presented to the City for outstanding performance and dedication
to job safety by the Central Florida Chapter of the National Safety Council. Mayor Salamone
stated that Council sincerely appreciated the employees' safety efforts.
DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Kancilia addressed the issue of regulating the landing and flying of helicopters within
the City. The Federal Aviation Act effectively prohibited the City from attempting to regulate
the flying of aircraft over and about the City including regulating the height at which aircraft
may fly. State statutes did provide that the City could regulate the location of heliports within
the City through its zoning powers. Mr. Nicholas questioned if the City could control through
its zoning where the helicopters could land and Mr. Kancilia would research the matter further.

2. Mrs. Chapman advised that Council needed to schedule a special Council meeting to
continue review of the Personnel Rules & Regulations. Council concurred to schedule the
special workshop meeting for Tuesday, February 22, 1994, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
3. Mr. Nicholas commented that the Mayor and Councilmember Randels should be given
replacement Council packet folders. Mayor Salamone asked that new folders be ordered.
4. Mr. Porter advised that Nancy Hanson's youngest brother had recently passed away and
he suggested that Council send flowers. Council concurred to send flowers.
5. Mayor Salamone asked that Mr. Bob Hoog's letter regarding his consideration for
appointment to the Planning & Zoning Board be scheduled for the next workshop meeting
agenda. She expressed Council's appreciation to Mr. Hoog for his willingness to serve on the
Board.
6. Mayor Salamone questioned whether or not Robert Abbott had filed an appeal. Mr.
Kancilia stated that the deadline was February 3, 1994, and to his knowledge no appeal had been
filed as of that date.
7. Mr. Randels distributed handouts to Council relative to the allocation of the Local Option
Tourist Development Tax.
8. Mr. Randels advised that Keep Brevard Beautiful had extended a challenge to all
municipal entities within the County to see who could collect the most trash. Trash Bash Day
was scheduled for April 16, 1994.
9. Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Nicholas to add an item to the agenda. Mr.
Randels explained that City staff and the City Attorney had meet with Mr. Ali Tezel and his
attorney regarding the Discovery Bay development. He stated that even after installing the road
to the City's specifications, the developer could not market or sell the first lot because there was
no public access to the land. Mr. Randels stated that the issue came about because previously
the City had said or alleged to have said that it would extend Tower Boulevard. He explained
that the add -on item would be for Council to consider furnishing or creating, designing and
building a portion of Tower Boulevard to gain access to the Discovery Bay development.

Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter that the City construct approximately 300' of
the beginning of Tower Boulevard that picked up from where Tower Boulevard currently ended
on the western end and proceeded to the first entrance of the Discovery Bay development. Mr.
Randels further explained his proposal and stated that currently Tower Boulevard ran west from
Astronaut Boulevard and stops just past the Cape Sierra property. He was proposing that the
City extend the road going westerly to the easternmost entrance (approximately 300') to allow
the developer access to the property. He stated that the City required a developer to pay for the
roads within the development and that it was the City's responsibility to provide a road to the
development.
Mr. Randels stated that the funds for the road were available in the City's current budget for FY
95/96. He expressed his opinion that it was the City's responsibility to provide the road to allow
access to and from the development. Mayor Salamone stated that the developer should pay for
the road as part of his development. Mr. Ali Tezel, Discovery Bay developer, stated that it was
his understanding when the property was purchased that there were certain conditions to be met
and that once those conditions were met the City would be responsible for paving Tower
Boulevard. Mr. Kancilia explained that Mr. Tezel alleged that there was an agreement between
the City in 1989 when Mr. Luis Lorie owned the property that stated that the City would
construct Tower Boulevard. He stated that Mr. Tezel obtained ownership of the property subject
j= to the conditions that Mr. Lorie had at the time. He stated that one of the conditions had been
that the City vacate one of the right -of -ways so that the developer could proceed with the
development in exchange for the City's vacation of the right -of -way, Mr. Tezel had agreed to
move utilities. Mr. Kancilia read a portion of a letter dated August 29, 1990, written by Mr.
Boucher regarding the Discovery Bay project: "You voiced concern over the delay in the
construction of Tower Boulevard and noted that there was 500 feet that needed to be constructed
to provide ingress /egress to your project. It was pointed out that we could not give you a firm
date for construction because of problems encountered with the City's attempt to bid the
engineering design work. We also noted that until the project is designed and the construction
bids received, there is no assurance that the City will have the necessary funds for construction.
You requested that the City consider constructing the road in phases with Phase I being the
construction from AIA to the Sewer Plant." Mr. Kancilia stated that allegedly there was another
document that created a firm undertaking on the part of the City which he had not seen. He
stated that the City had entered into agreements with other developers concerning construction
of roads.
Mr. Porter questioned the total value of the project. Mr. Tezel stated that he had a conditional
permit which clearly stated the City's intent and he had met all the conditions imposed by the
City. Mr. Jim Peeples, Attorney for Mr. Tezel, stated that the building permit for the project
referenced the conditions listed in the August 1990 letter. Mr. Kancilia stated that he did not
interpret the letter as making a firm commitment on the City's behalf to build the road. There
was further discussion regarding the conditions imposed on the development. Mr. Peeples stated
7 the homes to be constructed on the dry lots would be valued at $200,000 - $225,000 and the
homes on the riverfront lots would be valued at $400,000 (25 homes total).

,. Regular City Council Meeting

Discussion followed regarding whether or not it was the City's responsibility to provide access
to the development. Mr. Nicholas commented on the local option gas tax, its value and use to
the City. Mr. Randels explained that his intent was to present the problem to Council and to
attempt to come up with a consensus /method for the developer to continue on with his
development. He read a Quit Claim Deed which deeded the Tower Boulevard property to the
City from Shuford Mills and which stated that no special assessments would be made against the
property for the cost of road installation, paving and maintenance. Mayor Salamone stated that
the Deed referred to only Shuford Mills, not homeowners within the development. There was
additional discussion regarding the basic history of the proposed Tower Boulevard
improvements.
Mayor Salamone stated that funds had been budgeted for improvements to the portion of Tower
Boulevard that ran to the sewer plant for the FY 95/96. Mr. Porter stated that the City should
be encouraging these type of developments. Mr. Randels explained his purpose for bringing the
issue to Council. Mayor Salamone commented that infrastructure needs should be a partnership
between what developers wanted and the needs of the City. Mr. Tezel commented that it was
his understanding that once all the contingencies had been met the City would construct the road
to his development. He stated that he had proposed that a cul -de -sac be placed at the end of
Tower Boulevard to allow access at a cost not to exceed $10,000 and then when funds were
available the complete construction of Tower Boulevard could be accomplished. Mr. Kancilia
stated that the project design included entries on the eastern and western portion of the
development, both of which access Tower Boulevard and that allowed a through street to the
development and Mr. Tezel stated with the through street he would have to have all of Tower
Boulevard constructed from AIA to the road bend. He stated that Mr. Tezel's proposal was that
if the City agreed to put in a road to the easternmost entrance, he would place a cul -de -sac on
the western part so that there would be only one entry in and out.
Mayor Salamone stated that Council could not make a decision that evening due to a lack of
information regarding the proposed cul -de -sac, costs involved, etc. and she asked that the City
Manager submit additional information for Council's consideration. Mr. William Bennix
encouraged Council's support of the Discovery Bay project and cooperation with the project's
developers.
Mr. Tezel questioned if the Council would approve of his construction of 300' of roadway to
the eastern entrance of the development. Mr. Kancilia stated that the 300' of roadway was
contingent upon the cul -de -sac. Mayor Salamone asked the City Attorney, City Manager and
Building Official to meet with Mr. Tezel to explain exactly what else needed to be done in order
to get his project underway. Mr. Tezel explained that he had done everything that was required
as contingencies of the site plan. Mr. Kancilia stated that it was not the City Attorney's nor the
City staff's job to point out step -by -step each task that must be accomplished by Mr. Tezel in
Fn order to get his development constructed. Mayor Salamone commented that due to all the
problems regarding the project it was only appropriate to ask the three (3) individuals to work
out the details with Mr. Tezel.

Mayor Salamone commented that she felt it was fair and equitable to ask developers to construct
the infrastructure. Mr. Berger stated that he had served on City boards for seven (7) years and
he remembered conversations regarding Discovery Bay in depth. He stated that he remembered
giving the developer the impression that if the developer upgraded the sewer main, the City
would work with the developer and the City would construct Tower Boulevard. Mr. Berger
stated that it was in the best interests of the City to construct Tower Boulevard and to help the
developer as much as possible. He expressed his support of the City paying for the road. Mr.
Nicholas stated that it was his understanding that the relocation of the utilities was not for the
City's benefit; that it was because the developer wanted the utilities moved to allow more
development of the northeastern portion of the property. He did not feel that it was
unreasonable to provide the access to the Discovery Bay property.
Mr. Tezel reiterated his position regarding the project. Mr. Randels withdrew his motion.
Mayor Salamone stated that the City did not have available funds to pave Tower Boulevard and
she suggested that Mr. Tezel work with the City Manager and Building Official to determine the
steps necessary to complete the project.

a $12,000 shortfall in revenue, yet it had experienced a $27,503 excess of revenues over
expenditures in the past year. Mayor Salamone stated that the budgetary decisions had been
made based on economic trends and in the best interests of the City's citizens.
Mr. Kirk further explained the compliance section of the audit including the management letter
comments, audit findings and recommendations. He recommended that another independent
sample of building permits and a study of the building department's internal control structure
be conducted to determine the compliance of matters brought up during the 1993 study of the
building department's internal controls. Mayor Salamone asked Mr. Boucher to further review
the recommendations included in the audit and implement same as soon as possible.

estimated cost for the road stabilization was $10,000 - 15,000 which would be taken from
reserves. She explained that the capital improvement plan included the paving of Tower
Boulevard in FY 95/96. Mr. Nicholas questioned if the bid specifications would include an
anticipated life expectancy for the stabilization. Mr. Boucher stated that the minimum
specifications for a dirt road would be required.
Mr. Randels questioned if the installation of the road would impede the ability of the developer
to pull the necessary building permits. Mr. Boucher stated that it would be a judgement on the
part of the Building Official and Fire Chief as to whether or not Mr. Tezel would have sufficient
access to the development while the roadway was being constructed. Mayor Salamone stated
that according to the building codes it required that the stabilized roadway had to be in the works
in order for the developer to pull his permits. Motion carried with members voting as follows:

{ 8. City Manager's Report
Mr. Boucher advised that the City had received an award for five (5) consecutive years of being
designated as a Tree City, USA.
Mr. Berger suggested that Council have group photographs taken of past and present Councils.
Mayor Salamone also suggested that the City's Historian, Ann Thurm, be contacted to ask that
she coordinate the collection of group Council photographs. Mr. Nicholas advised that in the
past, group photographs were taken of Council during the swearing -in of new Councilmembers.
Mr. Boucher stated that Nancy Hanson, Recreation Director, had given Council a recap of
activities being planned for the Patriot's Day celebration.

that he would be sending a letter to the individuals who had been reimbursed by the City for
their expenses in defense of ethics complaints which asked for copies of all documents relating
to the ethics complaints filed against each individual. Mayor Salamone questioned whether he
had to notify the court in advance. Mr. Kancilia stated that the complaint would have to be filed
and that would serve as the notification and Mayor Salamone asked that the process be
expedited.
2. Mr. Porter questioned when the Council would be interested in holding a workshop meeting
for presentations regarding the Redevelopment Corridor concept. Council concurred to schedule
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
February 15, 1994
Page 5
i
the March 31, 1994, workshop meeting at 6:00 p.m. to allow for the presentations.
3. Mr. Randels commented that he had issued a challenge to the other cities in Brevard County
that the City of Cape Canaveral would have a larger Trash Bash participation than any other city
on April 16, 1994. Council concurred to change the site to Cape View Elementary rather than
the Little League field. Mr. Randels asked if the Council would like to include the "Clean the
City" concept in conjunction with Trash Bash Day activities. Council concurred to include the
collection of old appliances and recycling of telephone books in a general spring cleaning type
of concept.
4. Mr. Randels questioned the status of having Lamar Russell serve as an ex- officio member
of the Planning & Zoning Board. Mr. Kancilia stated that the ordinance which would permit
the appointment of Mr. Russell as an ex- officio member grants that authority to the Planning &
Zoning Board itself. He stated that the present City Charter nepotism provision appeared to
apply only to appointments made by the City Council and that there was room for interpretation
that since the Planning & Zoning Board would be the appointing authority that the nepotism
provision would not apply. Mr. Kancilia advised that the State Attorney General would not
issue an opinion on a City Charter provision. The Attorney General or the Commission on
Ethics would only issue opinions related to State law.
Mr. Kancilia stated that he wished to continue his research, but that the possibility did exist that
Mr. Russell could be appointed by the Board as an ex- officio (advisory) member.
5. Mr. Randels distributed copies of a Titusville resolution which urged the Florida legislature
to enact legislation that would grant immunity from personal civil liability, under certain
circumstances, to volunteers working on behalf of nonprofit organizations and governmental
entities. Council concurred to place the resolution for consideration on the next workshop
meeting.
6. Mr. Randels distributed copies of information he had received from an elected officials
seminar entitled Effectiveness in Office. He commented briefly on the highlights of the seminar.

Mr. Randels stated that he wanted to allow City staff time to resolve any differences with Cocoa
Beach. Mr. Kancilia expected to see at least one more revision of the agreement from Cocoa
Beach. Mr. Boucher outlined the following changes to the interlocal agreement:
• Page 4 (b), added the wording: "The commencement is, however, contingent upon
receipt of connection fees due to Cocoa Beach from Patrick A.F.B. A delay in
obtainment of said fees will cause a day- for -day time delay in commencement, but in no
event shall such delay in commencement exceed one (1) year." Mr. Nicholas questioned
if the reference to connection fees from Patrick A.F.B. needed to be more specific. Mr.
Boucher stated that the item would be discussed further with Cocoa Beach.
• Page 7, new paragraph entitled "Operations" was added which included provisions for
a telemetry system.
Mr. Boucher stated that the interlocal agreement was not on the Cocoa Beach Council's agenda
for that evening. Mr. Kancilia advised that the City could contact the property owner, Cevesco,
for an extension on the option date of April 1, 1994, or that the City could ask Cocoa Beach to
call a special meeting to approve the interlocal agreement. Mayor Salamone stated that the
option contract for the wetlands property could not be thrown out until the reuse agreement was
signed by both parties.
Mr. Nicholas commented that the agreement was highly loaded in Cocoa Beach's favor. Mr.
Porter disagreed with Mr. Nicholas's opinion. Mr. Nicholas stated that the City was bearing
the burden of cost for the entire reuse project and he questioned what portions of the reuse
project were being paid by Cocoa Beach. There was discussion regarding Cape Canaveral being
responsible for paying the costs to increase the size of the pipeline which would convey Cape
Canaveral's effluent into the Cocoa Beach proposed ground storage tank immediately south of
State Road 520.
Mayor Salamone stated that the City was looking at options for reuse and that to actually be able
to reuse the water was environmentally better for the system. She stated that the reuse system
was worth investing in because of the many benefits to Cape Canaveral residents. Mr. Randels
stated that perhaps the City had lost sight of its primary goal. He stated that two months ago,
the City had been prepared to spend $10 million on the wetlands project to dispose of 1.8 mgd
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida

of wastewater, and now a more economical solution had been presented to the City to dispose
of its wastewater through reuse. He spoke in favor of the Cocoa Beach reuse option and against
disagreeing about the actual minor cost differences when the overall reuse program was
economically feasible over the wetlands option. Mr. Nicholas spoke in favor of the City
obtaining the best deal possible with Cocoa Beach for the reuse water.
Mayor Salamone stated that the City was going to enter into the interlocal agreement, however,
Council would expect the City Manager to research the issues brought up by Mr. Nicholas.
There was discussion regarding the City's ability to re- negotiate the actual amount of reuse water
to be provided to Cocoa Beach, whether or not the City would have the flexibility to sell its
reuse water to other entities such as the Canaveral Port Authority or the Canaveral Air Force
Station, and the possibility of a 10 year agreement as compared to a 20 year agreement. Mayor
Salamone stated that it was the consensus of Council that it was in the best interest of the City
to enter into the interlocal agreement and Council concurred with her interpretation.
Mr. Kancilia stated that the resolution as written would authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk
to sign the interlocal agreement and tender it to the City of Cocoa Beach. If the City of Cocoa
Beach were to accept the agreement as written without any changes and signed it, the City would
have a binding agreement. If it was Council's intention not to empower Cocoa Beach to enter
into a contract on the specific terms, Mr. Kancilia suggested that the resolution be changed to
tender the document to Cocoa Beach as a "draft ".
Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Mr. Nicholas to amend the motion to allow the City
Manager to submit the interlocal agreement to the City of Cocoa Beach as a draft agreement.
Motion carried with members as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tern Porter, For;

7. City Manager's Report
Mr. Boucher stated that the Port had paid impact fees over the past several years in the amount
of $280,000.
Mr. Boucher reported that the Public Works Director would be submitting a drainage permit
application to the St. Johns River Water Management District for the Tower Boulevard project.
The City would not be soliciting bids on the project until the permit was received. He advised
that Mr. Gluskin was preparing the NPDES permit application which would also be submitted
by the end of March.
Mr. Boucher stated that he had received the proposed layout of the upgraded sewer plant which
included a 5 -stage Bardenpho process (Advanced Wastewater Treatment (AWT) Process). He
stated that the total cost of the project would be close to $5.5 million with $6.0 million as the
ceiling amount.
r
` Mr. Boucher thanked Nancy Hanson, Recreation Director, and Recreation and Public Works
department employees who assisted in the preparation and planning of the highly successful
Patriots' Day Parade. Mayor Salamone also expressed her appreciation to Mrs. Hanson and
City staff for their efforts for the Patriots' Day Parade and Festival.
DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Berger questioned if Mr. Boucher had additional information regarding other options
for the wetlands land. Mr. Boucher stated that he needed to meet with Mr. Firkins regarding
the property and the option contract. He questioned how much Council wanted to spend for
additional land to be used as a buffer zone adjacent to the wastewater plant. Mr. Berger spoke
in favor of purchasing 2 -3 acres of land to be used as a staging area for future expansion or for
holding tanks if the City began its own reuse program. Mr. Boucher advised that he would
continue to work on the idea and discuss same with Mr. Firkins. Mr. Nicholas felt that a
maximum of two (2) acres would be needed and Mr. Berger felt that 3 -4 acres would be
recommended. Mayor Salamone spoke in favor of four (4) acres for a park.
2. Mr. Berger referenced the letter received from Ocean Woods and Mr. Boucher stated that
he would respond appropriately.
3. Mr. Berger questioned the status of negotiations with the Port. Mr. Boucher advised that
he had meet with Burton & Associates the previous day and he felt that the Port was beginning
to realize that it would receive the best deal by continuing to have its wastewater treated by the
City.

community support of the Space Program and NASA in general and he asked if the City could
prepare a resolution in support of NASA.
6. Mr. Porter commented on the Florida Development Impact Fee Bill (HB 1137) which would
allow a local jurisdiction to waive impact fees from a particular project when it was determined
that it would be in the public interest, permit an impact fee to be paid over a period of 20 years,
and calls for the creation of a local advisory board and local appeals board.
7. Mr. Randels congratulated Mr. Berger and Aedile Contractors for receiving the Better
Business of the Month Award from the Cocoa Beach Area Chamber of Commerce for January
and February, 1994.

for the ballfields and 5 trees for Veterans Park. Mr. Porter stated that he hoped to have tree
groupings planted at the entrance to the City. Mr. Boucher stated that when the City received
a commitment for a bulk load of trees then the AIA corridor would be reviewed for placement
of the trees.

At this time, Mayor Pro Tem Porter recognized Mr. Willie Womack and Mr. Ron Tucker of
Virginia Construction who wished to address Council in reference to sewer fees and late
charges. Mr. Womack explained that his firm's monthly sewer bill was $400 - 500. Mr.
Tucker advised that he had contacted the City with an offer to pay $800 plus half of the late fees
owed ($307.98). He stated that in August, 1993, his firm had incurred a quadruple increase in
water rates and that each month his firm was paying $100.00 in interest to the City. He
questioned whether the City's ordinance allowed for 10% interest compounded monthly. He
also expressed concern regarding whether or not a customer should be required to continue to
pay late fees if they were paying a portion of the bill on a monthly basis per an agreement with
the City.
Mr. Kancilia stated that the fee was a late charge, not interest, and that the City's ordinance
referenced late charges. There was general discussion regarding late charges. Mr. Nicholas
asked that staff review what other cities were charging for late fees. It was stated that the cut-
off date for Virigina Construction's water was April 11th if the amount due the City was not
paid in full. Mr. Kancilia advised that Council did not have the authority to negotiate late
charges. Mr. Nicholas expressed his concern that the late charges be fair and equitable and
comparable to what other municipalities were charging.
After a 10- minute break, the meeting was reconvened.
Mayor Salamone and Mr. Boucher arrived at the meeting at this time.
Discussion resumed on Item No. 1 under New Business. Mr. George Firkins of Cevesco
suggested that the City purchase two (2) acres in order to obtain a larger buffer area between
the sewer plant and any future development on the Cevesco property. Mr. Firkins advised that
the $25,000 option fee paid by the City would be applied to the purchase of two (2) acres.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Porter to post the required 30 -day notice for the
purchase of two (2) acres of the Cevesco property for future wastewater treatment plant
expansion at a purchase price of $100,000 an acre. Motion carried with members voting as

property was conducive to use as a nature walk through the wetlands located there.
2. Mr. Porter stated that the State property that would be given to the City by the Port after
the land swap was completed could be utilized as a boat launch /park site. Mayor Salamone
stated that the HTF property had plenty of potential for various projects. Mr. Porter stated that
there were several State and Federal recreational grants available for the development of such
property.
3. Mr. Porter stated that he and the City Manager would be meeting to discuss the next step
in the City's redevelopment process since the March 31st meeting. He asked that thank you

sent to all businesses along AIA and North Atlantic. He expressed the need to have the
Commercial Development Board work in conjunction with the Beautification Board on
redevelopment issues.

follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For;

NEW BUSINESS:
1. Motion Re: Authorization to proceed with engineering services for wastewater plant and
reclaimed water system improvements.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger to authorize the City to proceed with
engineering services for wastewater plant and reclaimed water system improvements as contained
in the engineering contract prepared and presented by Hartman & Associates at a cost not to
exceed $282,090.
Mr. Berger questioned if the connections necessary to provide residential reuse to Cape
Canaveral residents would also be included in the scope of engineering services to be provided
by Hartman. Mr. Hal Schmidt, Hartman & Associates, explained that the engineering services
included a major transmission line to provide the reuse water to Cocoa Beach along with t -valve
connections to provide reuse to residential customers. Mr. Randels stated that the Port had
agreed to include reuse water along George King Boulevard during the proposed construction
improvements to George King Blvd. Mr. Nicholas stated that the City was interested in
providing reuse water to all municipal owned properties and installing a main trunk line to the
north City limits at George King Blvd. as well. Mayor Salamone spoke in favor of authorizing
engineering services to plan for providing reuse lines to all residential areas within the City.
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
April 19, 1994
Page 2
Mr. Schmidt stated that the permitting process through the State would permit the entire project,
residential reuse and the provision of reclaimed water per the interlocal agreement with Cocoa
Beach. He stated that the design would include running reuse lines from the wastewater plant
down Central Avenue to Atlantic Avenue to the Cocoa Beach connection. The design had not
included running the line back down Atlantic to George King Blvd.
Mr. Schmidt explained that it would be easier to use aerials and field surveys to determine the
areas where there would be reuse usage. He stated that his firm had no intention of surveying
the entire City. He stated that the improvements to the treatment plant would occur and be bid
relatively quickly. Surveying the reuse route would take approximately 30 days. Mr. Schmidt
explained that the actual design of the reuse project would not start until Council had given its
approval of the "big picture ". He stated that the ratio of reuse customers was 1 -2 for every 5 -6
sewer customers. He explained that the City must be concerned with meeting its commitments
to Cocoa Beach and the City's customers.
Mr. Berger stated that the $282,090 included the design work for the main trunk line, pressure
station, and sub - stations, and stubbing across Atlantic Avenue at locations to be determined at
a later date. Hartman & Associates would be able to provide recommendations for the best
locations for stub outs.
Mayor Salamone spoke against charging citizens for reuse water since the City would be
providing 750,000 gallons of reuse water daily without charge to Cocoa Beach. Mr. Nicholas
spoke in favor of providing a tap -off at each east- westbound street to allow each street to be
added to the reuse program would be based on customer demand. Mayor Salamone stated that
it was Council's intention to service the entire City with reuse water. Mr. Schmidt stated that
his firm would be looking at the entire City in the preliminary engineering report for reuse and
he would be providing an engineering cost estimate for each area and it would be Council's
decision as to the timeframe involved in providing reuse to all residential areas.
Mr. Schmidt stated that his firm would begin the survey process on the following Monday as
well as beginning the process to modify the drawings on the wastewater plant. Mr. Schmidt
explained that all sub - consultants to be used on the project would have to be approved by the
City.
Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tern Porter,
For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
Mayor Salamone asked Mr. Boucher to move forward with the reuse survey of all citizens
within Cape Canaveral within the next 30 days.

appointment of Rosemarie Meoni, Sandra Moore, and Michael Murazzi to the Commercial
Development Board with terms to expire on June 1, 1996. Mr. Porter questioned if the status
of whether or not Gerald Sale could be appointed to the Board as well since his wife was
currently a member of the Equity Study Commission. Mr. Kancilia stated that he needed time
to research the matter further. Mayor Salamone asked that a letter be written to Mr. Sale
advising him that a position on the Board would be held open until the Equity Study Commission
was disbanded. Mr. Porter stated that at the last workshop Council had asked Mr. Kancilia to
investigate the matter and since he had not had the time to do so, the matter could be discussed
at the next workshop. Mayor Salamone asked the City Clerk to prepare a letter from Council
to Mr. Sale advising him of the situation.

Mr. Randels spoke in favor of the ordinance. Mayor Salamone questioned which injuries were
required to be reported pursuant to Section 440.185, Florida Statutes. Mr. Kancilia stated that
basically it included injuries requiring medical attention. Mayor Salamone questioned if an
accident form was completed if an employee stubbed his /her toe and did not seek medical
attention. Ms. Miller advised that an accident form would be completed. Mayor Salamone
stated that she was concerned with individual's rights. She stated that she did not have a
problem with requiring drug tests of individuals who were injured and did seek medical
attention, but she was not in favor of requiring drug tests on any employees who were slightly
injured and had not sought medical attention. Mr. Nicholas questioned if it was always the
employee's decision as to whether or not medical attention for an injury was necessary. There
was additional discussion regarding injury related testing requirements.
Mr. Kancilia stated that injury related testing was a requirement under Florida Statutes, Chapter
440, but that "reportable event or injury" was not defined within the Statutes. Mayor Salamone
asked that the wording "if the employee seeks medical attention for the injury" be added to Sec.

the violation notice conflicted with provisions in the EPA manual for compliance with the new
rules. He stated that as of February 1994, the City was in compliance with sludge disposal
requirements by sending its sludge to the County landfill. Clarification would be sought from
EPA as to what was required to be reported for compliance for facilities such as the City had
which currently had an NPDES permit.

DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Kancilia stated that he was asked to research the possibility of the City suing the
owners of Royal Mansions in order to obtain an injunction to prevent the owners from using
their condominiums as hotel -type rental units. He stated that Mr. Healy had informed him that
the City had a counterclaim in the existing suit for an injunction and that if the City was
succesful in the lawsuit as part of the counterclaim the City would receive an injunction which
would be binding against the Royal Mansion condominium owners. Therefore, it would not be
necessary for the City to file a separate lawsuit or seek enforcement through Code Enforcement
procedures.
2. Mr. Kancilia advised that Kevin Markey had resigned from the firm of Reinman, Harrell,
Graham, Mitchell & Wattwood effective April 22, 1994. He stated that with Council's
permission he wished to sub - contract with Mr. Markey to provide continuing coverage on the
Planning & Zoning Board, Code Enforcement Board, and Board of Adjustment until such time
as the firm obtained another attorney to take Mr. Markey's place. This would be at no
additional cost to the City. He commented that Mr. Markey was going on his own as a solo
practioner in Merritt Island. Council concurred with Mr. Markey being retained on a sub-
contract basis.
3. Mr. Berger stated that Cape Canaveral appeared to have more Council meetings than
several other cities within Brevard and he suggested investigating alternative ways to run the
City's Council meetings. He expressed his concerns regarding the amount of paperwork
required and time involved in the number of Council meetings held during the year. He stated
that he had spoken to Ms. Miller regarding alternative ways to provide Council packets to
Councilmembers several days prior to the meetings and other ways to reduce the number of
Council meetings held each year.
Mayor Salamone stated that she appreciated having the extra time between the workshop and
regular meetings to review the agenda materials more thoroughly. She asked that the City
Council research various options for the meetings and other creative ways to run the meetings
more efficiently and that the item be scheduled for discussion at the next workshop meeting.
4. Mr. Nicholas questioned the status of the Ocean Woods' buffer zones issue. Mr.
Boucher stated that Ocean Woods felt that the sites on the south side included extensions on the
parking areas and he could not find any evidence to support such a claim. He planned to write
the homeowners' association one more letter asking them to clarify their claims and then bring
them in for a conference with City staff.
5. Mr. Berger questioned the status of Cocoa's franchise negotiations with Cablevision. Mr.
Boucher commented that he gave copies of the cable consultant's proposals that the City had
received to Cocoa for their review as well. He stated that Cocoa was still within its strategy
formulation stage.

their support.

May 6, 1994, and Virginia Wetherell, Director of the Department of Environmental Protection,
was the guest speaker and he encouraged everyone to attend the conference.

felt was a worthwhile conference sponsored by Brevard Community College's Institute of
Government.

meeting and addressed their concerns regarding the beach renourishment project.

beach seminar he had recently attended.

2. Presentation by Mr. Paul R Gougelman. III of Reinman Harrell Graham Mitchell &
Wattwood re: Brevard County vs Snyder lawsuit and its implication to the quasi - judicial nature
of Board activities
Mr. John Kancilia, City Attorney, explained that the meeting for purposes of Item No. 2 would
be considered a joint meeting with the Planning & Zoning Board. Mr. Buzz Petsos, Planning
& Zoning Board Chairman, called the meeting to order at 7:15 p.m. The City Clerk called the
roll with the following members present: Mr. Petsos, Mrs. Barnes, Mrs. McNeely, Mr. Roney,
and Mr. Hoog.
Mr. Kancilia introduced Mr. Gougelman as a partner in the law firm of Reinman, Harrell,
Graham, Mitchell & Wattwood whose avocation was local government with emphasis in land
use regulations. He stated that Mr. Gougelman was a member of the East Central Florida
Regional Planning Council and that he had written extensively on land use regulations.
Mr. Gougelman distributed copies of an outline of his presentation to Council, City staff, and
members of the Planning & Zoning Board. He summarized the following issues regarding
quasi-judicial procedures:
• Legislative vs. quasi-judicial decisions;
0 Specifics of the Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County v. Jack
Snyder, Circuit Court affirmed the action of the County Commission, the Fifth
District Court of Appeals reversal of the decision with a 45 -page opinion, and the
landmark decision of the Florida Supreme Court which substantially modified
what the appellate court had done;
• Burdens of proof for rezoning substantially changed, applicant must show that
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
May 3, 1994
Page 3
he /she has followed the correct procedures as far as applying for rezoning and
that whatever they were requesting was consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan;
• Once the applicant has provided such a showing, the local government would
have the following options:
1) Approve the rezoning request;
2) Show that the request was not consistent with the comprehensive
plan and deny the request; or
3) Approve a less intense or less dense zoning designation.
• Rezonings were to now be considered quasi-judicial in nature and every site
specific rezoning before a City Council or County Commission could become a
mini -trial;
• Courts will no longer hear arguments by witnesses or independent experts on
behalf of the City or County, courts will only review the record made before the
City Council or County Commission, and decisions must be made on the basis
of testimony by expert witnesses, such as planners and other independent experts;
• All presentations of evidence such as photographs, aerial maps, maps of the area,
etc., must be done at the public hearing;
• Based on the Jennings v. Dade County case, no contact with the decision -maker
prior to the rezoning hearing is permitted, such contacts may include:
1) Meeting with an applicant;
2) Meeting with or speaking to a constituent or other interested party
about the proposal;
3) Discussing the case prior to the hearing with the City or County's
planner;
4) Reviewing mail from parties regarding the case prior to the
hearing;
5) Going to the site and looking at it, unless all commissioners and
affected parties go at one time.
• Site planning is quasi - judicial;
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
May 3, 1994
Page 4
• Variances are a form of administrative or quasi-judicial relief;
• The increased use of expert witnesses and the implications of same such as: the
comments of witnesses must be probative or competent as to whether the
standards in the ordinance have been satisfied, neighbors are not always
incompetent to testify in a land use matter; consent or opposition of neighboring
property owners and of the community, personal knowledge of circumstances by
board members, letters and phone calls from the public, ex parte communications,
and driving by the site subject to an application;
• Jennings rule applies to all quasi-judicial matters, not just variances; it applies to
conditional use permits, special exceptions, code enforcement proceedings, plat
approvals, vested rights hearings, etc.;
• Planning & Zoning Board viewed as a Board of technical expertise;
• Other examples of legal cases pertaining to rezoning and /or other land use issues;
Mr. Gougelman addressed questions from City Council and members of the Planning & Zoning
Board. He expressed the need for the City to have clear and definitive standards in regards to
rezoning and land use matters.
Mr. Porter encouraged members of Council and the Planning & Zoning Board to write letters
in support of Senate Bill 2585, which would provide for access to public officials and a method
to expunge ex parte communication, to Senators Patsy Kurth and Patty Grogan. The bill may
be discussed at the upcoming special session of the legislature in June.
Mr. Porter questioned if members of the Planning & Zoning Board felt that a City Planner was
needed on City staff. Mr. Petsos and Mrs. Barnes expressed their support of a full -time City
planner on staff. Mr. Nicholas suggested that the Planning & Zoning Board review the zoning
ordinance requirements pertaining to special exceptions and permitted uses. Motion by Mrs.
Barnes, seconded by Mr. Roney to adjourn the Planning & Zoning Board meeting at 8:32 p.m.
Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mr. Petsos, For; Mrs. Barnes, For; Mrs.
McNeely, For; Mr. Roney, For; Mr. Hoog, For.

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger to allow the applicant to finance the impact
fee per the prescribed rules of the ordinance in the amount of $10,780.70. Mr. Boucher stated
that at the time of the original submittal the City had not received any plans for the project and
the Building Official had not based the impact fee on fixture count, but on number of employees.
Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tern Porter, For; Councilmember
Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For.
2. Motion Re: Manatee Ad Hoc Committee recommendations
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger to accept the Manatee Ad Hoc Committee
recommendations as submitted. Mr. Berger questioned if there was a conflict of interest
involved in the matter since his wife was a member of the Manatee Ad Hoc Committee. Mr.
Kancilia asked if Mr. Berger would derive any benefit from the adoption of the recommendation
and Mr. Berger responded in the negative. Mr. Berger stated that his wife had been appointed
to the Committee through administrative means, not by the City Council. Mr. Kancilia stated
that he did not see a conflict of interest in this matter for Mr. Berger. Motion carried with
members voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tern Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For;
Councilmember Nicholas, For.
3. Motion Re: Royal Mansions Condominium Association's settlement proposal
Mr. Kancilia stated that the counsel for Royal Mansions Condominium Association had offered
the City a settlement wherein the Condominium Association would agree to adhere to the City's
ordinances. He stated that it did not appear that the settlement proposal contained any means
by which the City could enforce the settlement; if the Condominium Association were to breach
the settlement agreement, the City would be back in court having to sue to enforce the settlement
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
May 3, 1994
Page 6
agreement. He stated that it was his recommendation to reject the settlement proposal as written
and asked that the City Council authorize a counter proposal to Royal Mansions Condominium
Association to the effect that the Royal Mansions Condominium Association agreed to the relief
sought in the City's counterclaim which was the entering of an injunction against the Association
and all the unit owners.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger that the City reject the Royal Mansions
proposal for settlement and that the City seek to renegotiate a settlement whereby the
Condominium Association and owners would agree to the relief sought in the City's
counterclaim which would include an injunction. There was discussion regarding whether or
not the City could recoup any of its attorney's fees. Mr. Kancilia stated that if the City
proposed that recovery of its attorney's fees be part of the settlement proposal then Royal
Mansions may be reluctant to settle.
Mr. Kancilia stated that if the owners and the Condominium Association were to violate the
City's ordinances and rent units for less than seven (7) days, the City could cite the offending
individuals through the Code Enforcement Board and those persons could be fined in accordance
with the Code procedures. However, if the City were to obtain an injunction and the owners
of the Association violated the terms of the injunction not only could the offending parties be
fined by the court, but they would also be held in contempt of court. Mr. Kancilia stated that
the injunction would provide a much stronger means of enforcement.
Mr. Kancilia stated that the recommended settlement offer was the equivalent of what the City
would receive if the case went through the trial. Mr. Porter stated that the overall concept was
to keep the beaches from becoming commercial and he did not believe that the financial end of
the matter was as important as the overall concept. There was further discussion regarding the
settlement offer and various legal methods available to the City.
Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember
Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For.
4. Motion Re: Authorization for City Manager to seek a rehearing of the Sandra Butler
Code Enforcement Board case
Motion by Mr. Berger, seconded by Mr. Porter to authorize the City Manager to request that
the Code Enforcement Board rehear the Sandra Butler case based on new evidence presented.
Mr. Kancilia stated that there had been a miscommunication as to the extent to which Sandra
Butler had complied with the citation. It was alleged that Ms. Butler had on two (2) occasions
delivered or attempted to deliver plants to the City in order to replace the trees that had been
cut down. He stated that apparently the evidence was incorrect and the Council's seeking of a
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida

as to the non - compliance of the property owner.

stated that the rate increase was based on the Consumer Price Index (C.P.I.). Mr. Berger
questioned whether or not the increases were actually warranted. Mr. Nicholas suggested that
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting

City staff look more closely at the automatic cost -of- living increases. Mr. Porter stated that the
sewer impact fees were based on infrastructure needs and the actual cost of providing for such
infrastructure needs. Mr. Boucher stated that the sewer rates would not be increased until after

Mr. Boucher advised that the City had received word from Mrs. Hoover's physician that her

Mrs. Hoover had the right to extend her insurance coverage under COBRA provisions and he
suggested that possibly the City could continue to pay her insurance costs.

proposed purchase of 2.48 acres north of the wastewater treatment plant and that their offer of
$200,000 for two (2) acres was valid and they would not accept $200,000 for 2.48 acres.
Council concurred to purchase the originally discussed two (2) acres at a purchase price of
$200,000.
Mr. Boucher stated that Michael Gluskin, Public Works Director, had completed the NPDES
permit application and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had determined
that the application was complete. He expressed his appreciation to Mr. Gluskin for a job well
done.
Mr. Boucher stated that Council had received a copy of the "Florida Finding of No Significant
Impact" in regards to the State Revolving Loan Fund application and he stated that
groundbreaking on the improvements to the wastewater plant should begin in the latter part of
the summer.
Mr. Boucher stated that the Public Works Department had reconstructed the Adams Avenue
crossover using recycled materials.
Mr. Boucher expressed his appreciation to Council for approving the continuation of Mrs.
Hoover's insurance. He stated that Mrs. Hoover was a pleasure to work with and was well

explained that he and Mr. Gluskin were revising the franchise agreement and the revised
agreement would be provided to Council for discussion at the next Council meeting scheduled

to the Port commissioners. There was general discussion regarding the Canaveral Port
Authority.
2. Mr. Nicholas questioned the status of the Abbott v. City of Cape Canaveral appeal
process. Mr. Boucher advised that Mr. Abbott could appeal to the 11th Circuit Court of

was eligible to recover was $2,000 which had been received. Mr. Berger commented that it

history of Shuford Mills and the City of Cape Canaveral and presented copies of the history he

final reading. Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor
Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For;
Councilmember Randels, For.
2. Motion Re: Purchase of two (2) acres of land lying north of the City's existing
wastewater treatment plant at a cost of $100.000 per acre
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger to purchase two (2) acres of property lying
north of the City's existing wastewater treatment plant at a cost of $100,000 per acre with
$25,000 held in escrow with the seller to be applied toward the purchase and the remaining
funds to be taken from the sewer expansion trust funds.
Mr. Richard Stadler, Attorney, 509 Palm Avenue in Titusville, representing Mr. Firkins and
Cevesco, Inc., stated that the survey prepared for the property revealed that the subject parcel
of land was 2.48 acres. Mr. Kancilia stated that the City had previously agreed to purchase two
(2) acres included within the legal description which described the full 2.48 acre parcel. Mr.
Stadler stated that the purchase of only two (2) acres was not acceptable to Cevesco and that the
property being discussed had surveyed out to equal 2.48 acres. Mr. Kancilia stated that the
property surveyed to the 2.48 acres at the request of one of the Councilmembers to include the
corner portion of the land and the corner portion included approximately .48 acres. He stated
that the initial discussions were based on two (2) acres at $100,000 per acre.
Mr. Nicholas explained that he had asked whether or not, for the same $200,000, the City could
square off the property lines which would raise the northern line to the tip of the apex of the
curved portion of the property and apparently that added .48 acres to the property. He stated
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
May 17, 1994
Page 3
that apparently Cevesco had decided that the .48 acres would not be included in the $200,000
price and would be valued at the $100,000 per acre price.
Mr. Kancilia stated that the City had offered a price of $200,000 for 2.48 acre and it was
communicated to the City that the price was unacceptable and that Cevesco would accept
$100,000 per acres. Subsequent discussions led to the proposed purchase of two (2) acres at a
price of $200,000.
Mr. Firkins stated that last year Cevesco had entered into a contract with the City for $2.6
million for approximately 40 acres of land. He stated that in all fairness Shuford Mills
( Cevesco) had done a tremendous amount for Cape Canaveral and he felt that not many firms
would allow the $25,000 option money to be credited toward the purchase.
Mr. Kancilia stated that there was no dispute regarding the price per acre, but the City was only
in the market for two (2) acres. Mayor Salamone stated that there may have been a
misunderstanding, but it had been the Councilmember's intent with his suggestion to square off
the property at the same purchase price of $200,000. Mr. Firkins stated that one of the
Councilmembers offered to split the difference on the .48 acres price and he stated that he was
willing to sell the 2.48 acres for $224,000. He stated that $25,000 would be credited against
the purchase price and Mr. Stadler affirmed that the offer was the purchase of 2.48 acres at a
price of $224,000 with the $25,000 being credited against the purchase price of $224,000.
Mr. Randels questioned if the City would have to post its intent to purchase 2.48 acres at
$224,000 for an additional 30 days prior to acting on the proposed purchase. Mr. Kancilia
stated that he would have to take the matter under advisement; he stated that Council could make
the motion, but may have to rescind the motion at a subsequent meeting after he had researched
the matter further.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Porter to amend the motion to provide for the
purchase of the additional .48 acres at a cost of $24,000 with the total cost of $224,000 for the
2.48 acres for sewer plant expansion. Mr. Kancilia stated that if the City had to re- advertise
the .48 acres purchase, the motion would be invalid. Mayor Salamone stated that she could not
support the amendment based on the legal liability, but she would be willing to take a straw
vote.
Mr. Kancilia concluded that to increase the purchase price would be invalid because Florida
Statute provisions required approval of the option contract and the option contract before Council
was for $200,000 and that was the purchase price which had been advertised. Mr. Nicholas
stated that on the basis of that decision he rescinded his amendment. Mr. Porter withdrew his
second to the amendment.
Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Mr. Berger to table the matter. Motion carried with

NEW BUSINESS
1. Discussion & Motion Re: Quarterly budget transfers
Ms. Deborah Haggerty, City Treasurer, explained the submitted budget transfers for the second
quarter of FY 93/94 and stated that City Gas Company franchise fees came in at a higher ratio
than previously anticipated. She stated that there was a general fund contingency of $19,411.
Mayor Salamone and Mr. Randels commended Ms. Haggerty for her budget reporting
techniques.
Mr. Randels expressed his appreciation to the Public Works Department staff for the $4,400 of
funds collected for lot mowing and clearing which was approximately 100 times what was
collected the previous year. He stated that he was concerned that last year only $42.00 was
collected in lot mowing fees. He expressed his concern regarding the City paying property tax
for the copy machine equipment since it was still shown on the owner's inventory. Mr. Kancilia
stated that the provision to pay the property tax was included in the standard lease. There was
also discussion regarding the increased lifeguard contract fees.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to approve the quarterly budget transfers for
the quarter ending 3/31/94 as presented. Motion carried with members voting as follows:
Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For;
Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
2. Discussion & Motion Re: Ordinance No, 18 -94. Amending City's Code of Ordinances

38 -2 TO PROVIDE FOR FIRE SAFETY FEES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY;
PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES; AND PROVIDING FOR
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to adopt Ordinance No. 18 -94 at first reading.
Dave Sargeant, Fire Chief, explained that Council had requested the ordinance to provide for
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
May 17, 1994
Page 5
fire inspection fees. He stated that the fees would be collected at the time the occupational
license was issued and the fees for plan reviews would be collected at the time of the issuance
of the building permits. The revenue from the fees would be placed in the general fund to offset
the cost of the fire inspections. Mr. Sargeant explained the multi- family and commercial fire
inspections covered by the ordinance. He stated that the fire inspections had been done in the
past, but no fees had been charged to offset the cost of the inspections.
Mr. Kancilia stated that the City could charge fees which were commensurate with the cost of
regulation and the fees could not be used as a tax or revenue source, but only to defray the cost
of the administration of the fire inspections. There was discussion regarding changes which
needed to be made to the ordinance including clarification of (d)(1)(b) on page 4 referencing
residential (permitted day care, etc.), exclusion of one- and two - single family homes under Sec.
38 -2 (a), and clarification of (d)(1)(f) regarding businesses or professional individuals sharing
one (1) office suite. There was also discussion regarding re- inspection fees and sovereign
immunity laws within the State of Florida. Mayor Salamone asked Mr. Kancilia to make the
necessary changes to the ordinance prior to the second and final reading scheduled for June 7,
1994.
Mr. Sargeant expressed the need to advertise the new fire inspection fees prior to the
implementation of the fees on October 1, 1994. Motion carried with members voting as follows:
Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tern Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For;
Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
Mayor Salamone stated that Council had received copies of a possible add -on item, Resolution
No. 94 -25. Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Nicholas to add Resolution No. 94-
25 as an add -on item. Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For;

read a letter he had received from Beach Mapping & Surveying regarding the discrepancy found
in the legal description of Ocean Gardens - Wave Two. Motion carried with members voting
as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tern Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For;

Mayor Salamone adjusted the order of New Business at this time.

4. Discussion & Motion Re: Award cooperative purchasing bid to Suncoast. Environmental.
Inc.. for sewer manhole rehabilitation
Mr. Michael Gluskin, Public Works Director, explained that the City had approximately 250
manholes within its sewer system and approximately 16 of the manholes had deteriorated as a
result of noxious gases in the system. He asked Council's permission to contract with Suncoast
Environmental, Inc., in the amount of $22,570 for rehabilitation of 16 manholes. He expounded
upon the rehabilitation process in detail. Mr. Gluskin explained that the proposal was piggy-
backed off a cooperative purchasing agreement that was awarded by the City of Naples in 1992,
and subsequently extended for another year. He stated that he had contacted the company which
had agreed to extend the prices to Cape Canaveral until Council approval was received.
Mr. Kancilia questioned if the contract with the City of Naples was still in effect and Mr.
Gluskin stated that it had expired. He stated that the City could not legally use the contract as
a cooperative purchase since the original contract with Naples had expired. Mr. Gluskin stated
that when his department had sought to accomplish the purchase, the Naples contract was still
in force and within the time it had taken to bring the proposal to Council the contract had
expired. He stated that without the cooperative purchasing prices, the job would possibly double
in cost. Mayor Salamone stated that if such an emergency item came up again that a special
meeting be called which required three (3) Councilmembers to call the meeting.
There was further discussion regarding the deterioration of the City's manhole system, the slip
lining process for rehabilitation of sewer lines, and the possibility of purchasing a system to
rehabilitate the manholes with in -house staff and equipment.
After a ten - minute break, the meeting was reconvened.
Mayor Salamone directed the City Manager to work on the manhole rehabilitation situation
immediately and to pursue the slip lining process for the sewer lines as well. She also suggested
that a complete maintenance program for the sewer system be written and adhered to; Mr.
Gluskin stated that his staff had identified all the lines and manholes which needed rehabilitation.
No further action was taken on this item.
7. Discussion Re: Staff Planner vs. consultant planning services
Mr. Boucher presented some preliminary information regarding associated costs for a staff
Planner as compared to utilizing an outside consultant for the Comprehensive Plan revisions.
He stated that Dyer, Riddle, Mills & Precourt's (DRMP) proposal to provide such a consultant
would cost $54,737. He asked for direction from Council on the matter. Mr. Berger suggested
entering into a joint venture with another municipality for consultant planning services. Mayor
Salamone spoke against having a full -time planner on staff.
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
May 17, 1994
Page 7
Mr. Porter stated that he felt that the matter had not been explored fully and he felt it was
premature to disapprove the hiring of a staff planner or a consultant planner. He explained that
when he suggested the hiring of a City planner, he did not have in mind that the individual
would only be working on the Comp. Plan update. He wanted to hire an on -staff planner to also
work with the City's redevelopment agency and Commercial Development Board for
redevelopment of the AlA corridor; to coordinate grant efforts for projects the City wanted to
do anyway; and to capitalize on items the Council had previously discussed such as utilizing the
resources available through UCF to bring in volunteer staff to assist the City in its
redevelopment program. He stated that the City could employ an individual for a full year at
the same cost associated with the consultant services offered by DRMP. He further emphasized
that if the City did create a redevelopment agency; during the second year the redevelopment
agency could employ the City's planner within the agency.
Mr. Nicholas expressed that he felt that the DRMP proposal was way out -of -line. He suggested
advertising for planner services on a one -year basis. Mayor Salamone stated that a full -time
person was not fiscally feasible for the City. She stated that no creative means /options had been
offered to resolve the situation. Mr. Nicholas stated that the item needed to be established and
pursued as a priority item. Mayor Salamone asked for a response from staff within a month.
Mr. Gluskin advised that he was personally in favor of hiring a planner and that he could
envision a number of tasks in addition to the Comprehensive Plan and investigating the
possibility of grants whereby a City planner would be beneficial to the City. He also stated that
it may be fiscally infeasible at this time to hire such an individual. There was additional
discussion regarding the concept of a City planner and alternative means to resolve the situation.
Mr. Porter stated that some of the areas included in the City's Comp. Plan may need to be
reclassified as "blighted ". There was discussion regarding what Council envisioned the City to
be in 20 years. Mayor Salamone asked Councilmembers to spend more time thinking about their
vision of the City's future and discuss the matter again within a month.
Mrs. Beatrice McNeely advised that she felt that it was important for the City not to take the
short view and that long -term visioning was needed and she also felt that someone was needed
on staff to be available to advise the City boardmembers on planning matters as well.
3. Discussion & Motion Re: Canaveral Port Authority's Interlocal Sewer Service
Agreementproposal
Mr. Randels questioned why there were blanks included on page 4 of the agreement and Mr.
Boucher explained that the numbers would be included upon the City's receipt of an actual
construction price for the wastewater treatment plant improvements. Council disagreed with
sending the agreement to the Port with blanks and asked that at least approximations be included
in the blanks before presentation to the Port.
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
May 17, 1994
Page 8
Mayor Salamone stated that the agreement had been discussed in full and agreed to previously.
There was extensive discussion regarding the Port's request for 187,000 gpd of reserve capacity
and whether or not additional capacity would be given to the Port at a later date should the Port
utilize its full reserve capacity amount. It was discussed that 187,000 gpd be a daily limitation
amount, not an average for the month or year. Mr. Boucher stated that the Port had been
averaging a discharge amount of 60,000 - 70,000 gpd, but that the Port had a high peak in the
past of 147,000 gpd.
Mayor Salamone asked if a provision could be written in the agreement to allow that if the Port
exceeded the 187,000 gpd capacity for a certain number of days, that the Port would then have
one year to get off the City's system. Mr. Berger stated that Council wanted the excess capacity
fines increased and inclusion of a two -year termination clause after excessive abuse (exceeding
the 187,500 gpd limit). There was discussion regarding notifying the Port that the contract
would be terminated in the year 2000.
Mr. Randels did not believe it was in the City's best interests to terminate the contract. Mr.
Berger questioned if it was in the City's best interests to treat the Port's sewage. Mr. Randels
stated that the Port was paying 125% of the fees charged to local customers which allowed for
an approximate profit of $25,000 per year.
Mr. Randels stated that he felt it was a win /win situation to treat the Port's wastewater. He
stated that the Port needed the City as utilizing the City's wastewater plant was the most
economical for the Port. He further expressed his support of continuing with the Port's
agreement. Mr. Berger stated that workability between the entities and public relation concerns
may also be reasons to continue treating the Port's sewage.
Mr. Gluskin stated that earlier he had felt that the City should be partners with the Port, but the
City was not gaining anything by treating the Port's sewage. He stated that the City would
operate better without the Port due to the operational risk involved with treating the type of
sewage that came from the Port.
Mr. Nicholas suggested adopting a resolution fully stating the reasons for the termination of the
Port's agreement at the next Council meeting. Council concurred to place such a resolution on
the next Council workshop agenda.
5. Discussion & Motion Re: Ordinance No. 16 -94 Amending City's Code of Ordinances,

Mr. Randels expressed his concerns regarding the maintenance and conditions of the dumpsters
throughout the City. He asked Mr. Boucher to talk to Western Waste and advise that before
Council considered adoption of the ordinance that all the dumpsters be painted, cleaned and
deodorized. Mr. Nicholas stated that Western Waste needed to tell the City on what days of
each month it would be deodorizing and cleaning the dumpsters. Mr. Porter stated that he had
received calls regarding that the employees were not in uniforms. No action was taken on the
resolution.
8. Discussion Re: Architectural Review Board
Mayor Salamone suggested that Council may want to further review the Boca Raton ordinance
regarding an Architectural Review Board. Agenda the item for discussion at the next regularly
scheduled workshop.

Mr. Randels questioned the City's responsibility when a City vehicle caused a spill of hazardous
chemicals. Mr. Kancilia answered that the City was liable under Federal Environmental

spill, the City would incur the costs of clean-up even if a private contractor was used.

McGee was being considered as a candidate for a civil service position that opened up in one
of their precincts. Mayor Salamone explained that when Council originally added the lieutenant
position, it was a temporary position. She proposed having the position be certified in an effort
to show job security for people in that position. Mayor Salamone commented that the motion
would show Council's support of having the position certified with Lt. McGee remaining at
Cape Canaveral.
Mr. Nicholas explained that the certification was done by the Sheriff's department, not Council.
Mayor Salamone expressed that Council did not ask for certification at the time the position was
originally filled. She asked Mr. Kancilia if Council needed a resolution to ask for certification.
Mr. Kancilia answered that it could be done by motion.

with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Councilmember Berger, For;

was at 2.7 %, however, the rate may rise.
DISCUSSION

2. Mayor Salamone reported the results of her Local Government Cooperative meeting
which included a discussion regarding the use of the planners on staff with the County.
Commissioner Andreas assured Mayor Salamone that the City could utilize County planners for
the Comprehensive Plan update and the AIA and North Atlantic plans.
3. Mayor Salamone asked Mr. Boucher if the letter from Mr. Roger Vaughn had been
answered regarding reimbursement for unclogging his sewer line. Mr. Boucher explained that
the City's ordinance placed the responsibility on the property owner. Mr. Vaughn had a sag in
the pipe which collapsed on the lateral. Mr. Kancilia stated that the City's responsibility started
at the main, not at the lateral.
Mr. Nicholas commented that when the City installed the sewer system it had also installed the
laterals. Mayor Salamone suggested that the City consider reimbursement of the cost of the
three (3) plumbing bills ($237.00, 157.50, and 730.00) at a total of $1,124.50. She stated that
the City did not want to place an unfair burden on a property owner due to deterioration of City
sewer pipes and lines. There was discussion regarding City staff reviewing such problems on
a case by case basis and the need for City staff to investigate such problems to determine if the
sewer problems were the property owner's or the City's responsibility. Mr. Berger suggested
that City staff needed to investigate what costs in Mr. Vaughn's claim were legitimately the
City's responsibility. Council concurred to schedule discussion and possible reimbursement of
Mr. Vaughn's claim at the next Council workshop meeting.
4. Mr. Randels reported that Orange Park, Florida was the new location of the lingerie shop
that had requested permission to open in Cape Canaveral.
5. Mr. Randels announced that he had been appointed as a new Boardmember on the

County Trash Bash. Her team collected a total of 161 bags of trash.
7. Mr. Randels commented on a reinventing government class that he and Mr. Boucher had
attended at Brevard Community College where they had learned many new governmental
strategies.
8. Mr. Randels passed out circulars describing the artificial reef used in Palm Beach and
proposed to be used in Indian River County for controlling beach erosion. The concrete reef
stops 225 feet from the shoreline and provides protection from storms and from erosion of the
shoreline.
9. Mr. Nicholas noted that the VFW had an opportunity to use the Veteran's Park twice in
the past month on Memorial Day and D -Day. He expressed appreciation on behalf of the

ATTEST: i �/J
Faith G. Miller, C CLERK
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida FILE COPY
The following is a verbatim transcript of a portion of the City Council Regular Meeting held on June
7, 1994:
Mr. Boucher: "I spoke with Sheriff Miller this afternoon, he informed me that Lt.
McGee is being considered as a candidate for a transfer to a civil service
position that had opened up in one of their precincts and I just wondered
if you guys had any comment or input. I will be meeting with Sheriff
Miller tomorrow..."
Mayor Salamone: "When we originally put the Lieutenant position in here, for those of you
new to Council, it was a temporary position; it was not certified for the
civil service position and it was agreed at that time that we would look at
it again to get it certified. I think that this is a real good time for us to
show job security to people who are in that position here in the City and
ask that it be a certified position here in Cape Canaveral. We have a
lieutenant in our contract, but it's not certified."
Mr. Nicholas: "Would that make a difference in retaining Lt. McGee ?"
Mayor Salamone: "I think it would make a tremendous difference if this Council supported
that we want that position certified and then that we say that we really
would like Lt. McGee to stay in it. It's job security for Lt. McGee that
he would go to another position at this time."
Mr. Nicholas: "This certification process is not something that we do, that's something
that the Sheriff's Dept. does."
Mayor Salamone: "Right, we just have to ask for it. We did not ask for it at the time that
we used that position. It's something that we did not pursue and its been
our fault that the lieutenant in that position has not had security."
Mr. Nicholas: "Well, by asking for it, then we're saying that, I assume, that would be
carrying the message that we intend to retain that as a permanent position
with the Sheriff's Division."
Mayor Salamone: "Do we need a resolution to do this ?"
John Kancilia: "No, you could do it by motion."
Mayor Salamone: "Move for an add -on item."
Mr. Nicholas: "Second."
Mayor Salamone: "Call the question."
Verbatim Transcript - June 7, 1994
Page 2
City Clerk: Roll call vote - unanimous.
Mayor Salamone: "Move that we add the lieutenant position to be a certified civil service position
in Cape Canaveral."
Mr. Nicholas: "Second."
Mayor Salamone: "I have a motion and a second. Discussion."
Mr. Randels: "I'm not sure it's all that simple, I think the intent is good, Mayor. But as I
understand it there's only so many positions, so many lieutenants, so many
captains, so many sergeants, and this particular vacancy is in Merritt Island."
Mayor Salamone: "But, no, in our contract we have a lieutenant. It says lieutenant in our contract,
what we didn't do was make that permanent to the Canaveral precinct so to speak
and by doing this we make that permanent and then we can ask the City Manager
in his meeting tomorrow to let them know that the reason we're doing it is that
we're asking for security for the lieutenant we currently have."
Mr. Randels: "Do we know exactly what Lt. McGee wants ?"
Mayor Salamone: "Would I be sitting here making this kind of motion if I hadn't spoken to him?
No, I would not - I assure you. It's in our best interests. The Sheriff has the last
decision, of course, because it's a contract and we are all aware of that, but we
should have some say. I spoke with him today also and said that we're a small
community - it takes at least two years for a new administrator here to get to
know the people, understand the situation and everything that goes on politically
as well as the Sheriff's Department itself. And that I think that in a small town
moving people just to move them isn't a good idea and I feel very strongly about
that and I think Council would support that."
Mr. Nicholas: "As you recall Rocky that was one of the things that we stipulated when we went
into the contract with the Sheriff's Department was that we wanted permanent
people stationed here, not use it as a training ground, even though we've seen
some of that, but we do have a basic core of permanent personnel."
Mr. Randels: "I certainly would support it, I just don't want us to be disappointed in thinking
that this will get it because there's only so many captains, and so many
lieutenants and so many this."
Mayor Salamone: "But this is the only step we can do as a Council to ensure that they understand
the support we have."
Verbatim Transcript - June 7, 1994

Mr. Nicholas: "We have no guarantee that McGee is going to remain here."
Mr. Berger: "But once we do this we're going to be guaranteed that we're going to be billed
for a lieutenant's position."
Mayor Salamone: "Right. We'll be guaranteed that position, they'll add it to their big overall
picture."
Mr. Randels: "I guess the reason it was not certified to begin with, if I understood, was
because it was a year to year contract and you can't build in permanent positions
when you may not have a contract next year."
Mr. Nicholas: "We're not going to do the certification, what we're doing is we are requesting
that this position be certified, in essence guaranteed as a permanent position. If
Sheriff Miller decides no he's not going to run his department that way, then,
that's his decision."
Mr. Randels: "I certainly would support asking for it."
Mayor Salamone: "And that's we're headed and our support is for Lt. McGee. Okay? Call the
question."
City Clerk: Unanimous vote - Berger, Yea; Nicholas, Yea; Randels, Yea; Salamone, Yea.
Mayor Salamone: "Please let the Sheriff know that is unanimous that we stand behind each other
100 %.

were lacking or other pertinent budget goals.

Mr. Nicholas questioned if there were a substantial amount of employees addressing
beautification needs. Mr. Boucher stated that there were no plans to increase the number of
personnel currently responsible for beautification needs.
Mr. Porter stated that the largest shortfall of funds was in the police /fire budgets. He spoke
briefly regarding the concept of community policing through the use of volunteers. Mayor
Salamone questioned how Councilmembers felt about presenting a referendum to the citizens to
raise the police/fire millages. Mr. Randels stated that he was not in favor of increasing the
millages.
Mr. Boucher stated that the requested level of service for the Police Department included two
(2) additional officers for a proactive policing unit that would be more visible in the community
attacking any problem areas. Mayor Salamone stated she wanted managers /supervisors to be
more creative to use available resources in alternative ways. She stated that at some point in
time Council would have to decide that the ad valorem tax needed increasing. Mayor Salamone
stated that presenting referendum questions to the voters would enable the voters to express how
they felt about increasing the millage to raise the level of service in the police and fire
departments. She stated that the increased level of service would provide two (2) additional
police officers and a rescue truck along with personnel to man the truck (3 more people, one for
each shift). Discussion followed regarding the possibility of a millage increase.
Mr. Randels commented on the City's current practice of contracting out for
beautification /landscaping services. He stated that currently there were seven (7) positions at
the Street Department and he questioned whether or not the seven (7) people were being utilized
to their maximum potential for the costs involved. He suggested that the City may wish to
investigate the possibility of contracting for more services based on the savings realized with
contracting out for landscaping services. Mayor Salamone stated that she understood that one
of the Street department employees had been hired because of his /her certification in the
application of pesticides and that the pesticide services were currently contracted out.
Mr. Nicholas suggested researching the possibility of contracting with Brevard County or Cocoa
Beach for fire /rescue and police protection, and soliciting requests for proposals for audit
services and attorney services. Mayor Salamone asked Mr. Boucher to check all of the avenues
suggested by Mr. Nicholas. She stated that she would be concerned about the quality of services
available if the City were to contract for fire/police services with another municipality.
There was additional discussion regarding the community policing concept. Mayor Salamone
asked staff to research the prospect of utilizing college students for community service projects
such as helping with recreational, clerical or administrative services. She stated that Council
did not want to reduce employees' membership fees or travel expenses for conferences and
organizations that employees needed to participate in. She asked that staff provide new ways
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined City Council Workshop & Regular Meeting

to conduct services (big ticket items) rather than looking at minor budget cuts on a line -by -line
basis.
Mr. Porter advocated the development of the Long Point Road property into a passive park of
some sort, and construction of basketball hoops /courts in different areas of the City to help
address the needs of youths between the ages of 12 - 18. He mentioned several of his budget
priorities including the tree program, AIA beautification, different parks, redevelopment issues,
and researching the availability of grant funds. He stated that all of his potential ideas needed
a grant writer and he had spoken to Mary Ingram, Senior Community Service Employment
Program, regarding the possibility of obtaining a professional individual to work for the City for
a full year without costing the City any funds. Council supported the concept of acquiring a
college student or senior professional through any of the programs available whereby the
individuals would be paid through another source /program and not cost the City any additional
funds. Council also supported further research into the community policing concept.
2. Discussion Re: Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR),
Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) and Plan amendments proposed schedule and
technical support
Mr. Boucher stated that he had presented a booklet of information to Council regarding what
needed to transpire within the next 28 months regarding the update of the City's Comprehensive
Plan. Mayor Salamone stated that she was concerned about the lack of history available to the
Planning & Zoning Board and she stated that the City Council could become the Local Planning
Agency. Mr. Berger expressed that it would be beneficial to obtain new and fresh objectives
from the current Planning & Zoning Board and that it would also be a good educational process
for the Board. Mr. Porter questioned if certain members of Council could also serve on the
Local Planning Agency. Mr. Kancilia stated he would have to research the matter further and
that there may be a potential violation due to provisions currently within the City's Charter.
There was further discussion regarding the makeup of the Local Planning Agency and the
necessary Comprehensive Plan amendments.
3. Monthly Activity Reports
Mr. Nicholas questioned the averages listed on the report for the lift station. Mr. Boucher stated
that the figures had been inadvertently switched and would be corrected.
4. City Manager's Report
Mr. Boucher stated that the Beautification Board had expressed its concerns about what Council
could do to enact legislation that would address unfinished buildings. Mr. Nicholas suggested
obtaining sample ordinances from the League of Cities that required construction completion
within a certain timeframe.

Mr. Boucher remarked that Council had received copies of the draft article that would be printed
in the next Port Canaveral Journal regarding the City. Council concurred to order 1,000 copies
of the Port Journal to distribute to interested parties. He stated that the Commercial
Development Board had suggested a 1 -800 number for City Hall.
Mr. Boucher stated that he had received correspondence from the State of Florida, Department
of Transportation, advising that the agency did not concur with the City's request to lower the
speed limit to 35 mph.
Mr. Boucher questioned if Council had any opinions regarding what the County's role should
be with future water supply issues based on a request from Commissioner Scarborough. Mr.
Randels stated that Commissioner Scarborough was seeking to reactivate the water supply group.
Council concurred to ask the County to remain out of the water supply issue.
Mr. Boucher stated that the City had received a request for support in opposition to casino
gambling in Florida from the City of Tampa. Council concurred to place a resolution regarding
casino gambling on the next Council meeting agenda.
After a ten- minute break, the meeting reconvened.
Mr. Boucher announced that Council had received copies of the proposed draft Charter for
Brevard County and he questioned whether or not Council had any comments regarding the draft
Charter. Mayor Salamone suggested that Councilmembers provide input as individual citizens.
Mr. Randels stated that he was serving on a committee which was reviewing the Charter and
he asked for input from Council regarding several issues. Council concurred that there be five
(5) County Commissioners elected on a non - partisan basis and that the County Manager be
employed directly by the County Commission based on his /her qualifications and experience.
Mr. Boucher advised that all Councilmembers had received registration information regarding
the Florida League of Cities annual convention. Council supported Mr. Randels' attendance at
the convention with the City paying for his travel expenses /registration fees.
Mayor Salamone felt that the Mayor and Councilmembers were underpaid and that the salaries
needed to be increased. She asked that Mr. Kancilia further research the issue. There was
discussion regarding whether or not a Council salary increase needed to be done through
referendum. Mr. Porter suggested obtaining salary information from other municipalities.
DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Berger questioned whether or not an increase in the police and fire referendums would
be scheduled for an upcoming election. He felt that the referendum should be considered at the
upcoming November election.

in violation of the City's Code. He stated that there were approximately 100 signs included on

eliminate the sign violations. Mr. Randels stated that many of the signs were 1 -2 years old and
did not meet the sign criteria that had been in effective for five (5) years. Mayor Salamone
asked that citations be written against the alleged violators. Mr. Nicholas stated that Council
should have been informed about the situation. Council concurred to have the item placed on
the next workshop for discussion.
Mayor Salamone asked that copies of the list containing the sign violations be distributed to all
Councilmembers and she asked that Mr. Morgan be present at the workshop meeting to explain
the situation. There was additional discussion regarding sign violations and the sign permitting

the Federal Court of Appeals. He explained that the basis of the dismissal of the suit by the trial
court was that since the erosion started more than six (6) years prior to filing the suit, the suit
fell under the statute of limitations; however, the court held that where there's a continual taking
that the landowner can wait until the "taking" stops and apparently the "taking" continues today.
He stated that unless the United States government is successful in getting the appeal heard
before the United States Supreme Court the case would be returned to the trial court for retrial.

2. Presentation by Mr. Paul R Gougelman III of Reinman Harrell Graham Mitchell &
Wattwood re: Brevard County vs Snyder lawsuit and its implication to the quasi- Judicial nature
of Board activities
Mr. John Kancilia, City Attorney, explained that the meeting for purposes of Item No. 2 would
be considered a joint meeting with the Planning & Zoning Board. Mr. Buzz Petsos, Planning
& Zoning Board Chairman, called the meeting to order at 7:15 p.m. The City Clerk called the
roll with the following members present: Mr. Petsos, Mrs. Barnes, Mrs. McNeely, Mr. Roney,
and Mr. Hoog.
Mr. Kancilia introduced Mr. Gougelman as a partner in the law firm of Reinman, Harrell,
Graham, Mitchell & Wattwood whose avocation was local government with emphasis in land
use regulations. He stated that Mr. Gougelman was a member of the East Central Florida
Regional Planning Council and that he had written extensively on land use regulations.
Mr. Gougelman distributed copies of an outline of his presentation to Council, City staff, and
members of the Planning & Zoning Board. He summarized the following issues regarding
quasi - judicial procedures:
• Legislative vs. quasi-judicial decisions;
• Specifics of the Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County v. Jack
Snyder, Circuit Court affirmed the action of the County Commission, the Fifth
District Court of Appeals reversal of the decision with a 45 -page opinion, and the
landmark decision of the Florida Supreme Court which substantially modified
what the appellate court had done;
• Burdens of proof for rezoning substantially changed, applicant must show that
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
May 3, 1994
Page 3
he /she has followed the correct procedures as far as applying for rezoning and
that whatever they were requesting was consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan;
• Once the applicant has provided such a showing, the local government would
have the following options:
1) Approve the rezoning request;
2) Show that the request was not consistent with the comprehensive
plan and deny the request; or
3) Approve a less intense or less dense zoning designation.
• Rezonings were to now be considered quasi-judicial in nature and every site
specific rezoning before a City Council or County Commission could become a
mini -trial;
• Courts will no longer hear arguments by witnesses or independent experts on
behalf of the City or County, courts will only review the record made before the
City Council or County Commission, and decisions must be made on the basis
of testimony by expert witnesses, such as planners and other independent experts;
• All presentations of evidence such as photographs, aerial maps, maps of the area,
etc., must be done at the public hearing;
• Based on the Jennings v. Dade County case, no contact with the decision -maker
prior to the rezoning hearing is permitted, such contacts may include:
1) Meeting with an applicant;
2) Meeting with or speaking to a constituent or other interested party
about the proposal;
3) Discussing the case prior to the hearing with the City or County's
planner;
4) Reviewing mail from parties regarding the case prior to the
hearing;
5) Going to the site and looking at it, unless all commissioners and
affected parties go at one time.
• Site planning is quasi - judicial;
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
May 3, 1994
Page 4
• Variances are a form of administrative or quasi-judicial relief;
0 The increased use of expert witnesses and the implications of same such as: the
comments of witnesses must be probative or competent as to whether the
standards in the ordinance have been satisfied, neighbors are not always
incompetent to testify in a land use matter; consent or opposition of neighboring
property owners and of the community, personal knowledge of circumstances by
board members, letters and phone calls from the public, ex parte communications,
and driving by the site subject to an application;
• Jennings rule applies to all quasi-judicial matters, not just variances; it applies to
conditional use permits, special exceptions, code enforcement proceedings, plat
approvals, vested rights hearings, etc.;
0 Planning & Zoning Board viewed as a Board of technical expertise;
• Other examples of legal cases pertaining to rezoning and /or other land use issues;
Mr. Gougelman addressed questions from City Council and members of the Planning & Zoning
Board. He expressed the need for the City to have clear and definitive standards in regards to
rezoning and land use matters.
Mr. Porter encouraged members of Council and the Planning & Zoning Board to write letters
in support of Senate Bill 2585, which would provide for access to public officials and a method
to expunge ex parte communication, to Senators Patsy Kurth and Patty Grogan. The bill may
be discussed at the upcoming special session of the legislature in June.
Mr. Porter questioned if members of the Planning & Zoning Board felt that a City Planner was
needed on City staff. Mr. Petsos and Mrs. Barnes expressed their support of a full -time City
planner on staff. Mr. Nicholas suggested that the Planning & Zoning Board review the zoning
ordinance requirements pertaining to special exceptions and permitted uses. Motion by Mrs.
Barnes, seconded by Mr. Roney to adjourn the Planning & Zoning Board meeting at 8:32 p.m.
Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mr. Petsos, For; Mrs. Barnes, For; Mrs.
McNeely, For; Mr. Roney, For; Mr. Hoog, For.

fee per the prescribed rules of the ordinance in the amount of $10,780.70. Mr. Boucher stated
that at the time of the original submittal the City had not received any plans for the project and
the Building Official had not based the impact fee on fixture count, but on number of employees.
Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember
Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For.
2. Motion Re: Manatee Ad Hoc Committee recommendations
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger to accept the Manatee Ad Hoc Committee
recommendations as submitted. Mr. Berger questioned if there was a conflict of interest
involved in the matter since his wife was a member of the Manatee Ad Hoc Committee. Mr.
Kancilia asked if Mr. Berger would derive any benefit from the adoption of the recommendation
and Mr. Berger responded in the negative. Mr. Berger stated that his wife had been appointed
to the Committee through administrative means, not by the City Council. Mr. Kancilia stated
that he did not see a conflict of interest in this matter for Mr. Berger. Motion carried with
members voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For;
Councilmember Nicholas, For.
3. Motion Re: Royal Mansions Condominium Association's settlement proposal
Mr. Kancilia stated that the counsel for Royal Mansions Condominium Association had offered
the City a settlement wherein the Condominium Association would agree to adhere to the City's
ordinances. He stated that it did not appear that the settlement proposal contained any means
by which the City could enforce the settlement; if the Condominium Association were to breach
the settlement agreement, the City would be back in court having to sue to enforce the settlement
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting

Page 6
agreement. He stated that it was his recommendation to reject the settlement proposal as written
and asked that the City Council authorize a counter proposal to Royal Mansions Condominium
Association to the effect that the Royal Mansions Condominium Association agreed to the relief
sought in the City's counterclaim which was the entering of an injunction against the Association
and all the unit owners.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger that the City reject the Royal Mansions
proposal for settlement and that the City seek to renegotiate a settlement whereby the
Condominium Association and owners would agree to the relief sought in the City's
counterclaim which would include an injunction. There was discussion regarding whether or
not the City could recoup any of its attorney's fees. Mr. Kancilia stated that if the City
proposed that recovery of its attorney's fees be part of the settlement proposal then Royal
Mansions may be reluctant to settle.
Mr. Kancilia stated that if the owners and the Condominium Association were to violate the
City's ordinances and rent units for less than seven (7) days, the City could cite the offending
individuals through the Code Enforcement Board and those persons could be fined in accordance
with the Code procedures. However, if the City were to obtain an injunction and the owners
of the Association violated the terms of the injunction not only could the offending parties be
fined by the court, but they would also be held in contempt of court. Mr. Kancilia stated that
the injunction would provide a much stronger means of enforcement.
Mr. Kancilia stated that the recommended settlement offer was the equivalent of what the City
would receive if the case went through the trial. Mr. Porter stated that the overall concept was
to keep the beaches from becoming commercial and he did not believe that the financial end of
the matter was as important as the overall concept. There was further discussion regarding the
settlement offer and various legal methods available to the City.
Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tern Porter, For; Councilmember
Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For.
4. Motion Re: Authorization for City Manager to seek a rehearing of the Sandra Butler
Code Enforcement Board case
Motion by Mr. Berger, seconded by Mr. Porter to authorize the City Manager to request that
the Code Enforcement Board rehear the Sandra Butler case based on new evidence presented.
Mr. Kancilia stated that there had been a miscommunication as to the extent to which Sandra
Butler had complied with the citation. It was alleged that Ms. Butler had on two (2) occasions
delivered or attempted to deliver plants to the City in order to replace the trees that had been
cut down. He stated that apparently the evidence was incorrect and the Council's seeking of a

as to the non - compliance of the property owner.

questioned whether or not the increases were actually warranted. Mr. Nicholas suggested that
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting

City staff look more closely at the automatic cost -of- living increases. Mr. Porter stated that the
sewer impact fees were based on infrastructure needs and the actual cost of providing for such
infrastructure needs. Mr. Boucher stated that the sewer rates would not be increased until after
1997 and he expressed his support for growth paying its fair share of improvements. Motion
carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger,

proposed purchase of 2.48 acres north of the wastewater treatment plant and that their offer of
$200,000 for two (2) acres was valid and they would not accept $200,000 for 2.48 acres.
Council concurred to purchase the originally discussed two (2) acres at a purchase price of
$200,000.
Mr. Boucher stated that Michael Gluskin, Public Works Director, had completed the NPDES
permit application and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had determined
that the application was complete. He expressed his appreciation to Mr. Gluskin for a job well
done.
Mr. Boucher stated that Council had received a copy of the "Florida Finding of No Significant
Impact" in regards to the State Revolving Loan Fund application and he stated that
groundbreaking on the improvements to the wastewater plant should begin in the latter part of
the summer.
Mr. Boucher stated that the Public Works Department had reconstructed the Adams Avenue
crossover using recycled materials.
Mr. Boucher expressed his appreciation to Council for approving the continuation of Mrs.

to the Port commissioners. There was general discussion regarding the Canaveral Port
Authority.

was eligible to recover was $2,000 which had been received. Mr. Berger commented that it

Commercial Development Boardmembers to a seminar entitled, "Redevelopment for Small Cities
in Urban Areas in Transition" which would be held in Orlando on May 20, 1994, with a
registration fee of $25.00 per person. Council concurred with Mr. Porter's suggestion to send

grants.
6. Mr. Porter stated that he had received a call from Peter Cunningham regarding the six -

Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
Mayor Salamone stated that she had received a request from a citizen to address the Council
before the Public Hearings portion of the meeting. Mr. George Firkins, 362 Coral Drive,
explained that all of the sewer easements leading to the City's wastewater treatment plant were
given to the City at no cost during the early 1960's by Shuford Mills. He briefly described the
history of Shuford Mills and the City of Cape Canaveral and presented copies of the history he
had prepared to Mayor Salamone. Mr. Firkins would present the Shuford Mills documents
regarding sewer easements to Mr. Boucher for copies to be made to keep within the City's
records.

final reading. Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor
Pro Tern Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For;
Councilmember Randels, For.
2. Motion Re: Purchase of two (2) acres of land lying north of the City's existing
wastewater treatment plant at a cost of $100.000 per acre
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger to purchase two (2) acres of property lying
north of the City's existing wastewater treatment plant at a cost of $100,000 per acre with
$25,000 held in escrow with the seller to be applied toward the purchase and the remaining
funds to be taken from the sewer expansion trust funds.
Mr. Richard Stadler, Attorney, 509 Palm Avenue in Titusville, representing Mr. Firkins and
Cevesco, Inc., stated that the survey prepared for the property revealed that the subject parcel
of land was 2.48 acres. Mr. Kancilia stated that the City had previously agreed to purchase two
(2) acres included within the legal description which described the full 2.48 acre parcel. Mr.
Stadler stated that the purchase of only two (2) acres was not acceptable to Cevesco and that the
property being discussed had surveyed out to equal 2.48 acres. Mr. Kancilia stated that the
property surveyed to the 2.48 acres at the request of one of the Councilmembers to include the
corner portion of the land and the corner portion included approximately .48 acres. He stated
that the initial discussions were based on two (2) acres at $100,000 per acre.
Mr. Nicholas explained that he had asked whether or not, for the same $200,000, the City could
square off the property lines which would raise the northern line to the tip of the apex of the
curved portion of the property and apparently that added .48 acres to the property. He stated
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
May 17, 1994
Page 3
that apparently Cevesco had decided that the .48 acres would not be included in the $200,000
price and would be valued at the $100,000 per acre price.
Mr. Kancilia stated that the City had offered a price of $200,000 for 2.48 acre and it was
communicated to the City that the price was unacceptable and that Cevesco would accept
$100,000 per acres. Subsequent discussions led to the proposed purchase of two (2) acres at a
price of $200,000.
Mr. Firkins stated that last year Cevesco had entered into a contract with the City for $2.6
million for approximately 40 acres of land. He stated that in all fairness Shuford Mills
( Cevesco) had done a tremendous amount for Cape Canaveral and he felt that not many firms
would allow the $25,000 option money to be credited toward the purchase.
Mr. Kancilia stated that there was no dispute regarding the price per acre, but the City was only
in the market for two (2) acres. Mayor Salamone stated that there may have been a
misunderstanding, but it had been the Councilmember's intent with his suggestion to square off
the property at the same purchase price of $200,000. Mr. Firkins stated that one of the
Councilmembers offered to split the difference on the .48 acres price and he stated that he was
willing to sell the 2.48 acres for $224,000. He stated that $25,000 would be credited against
the purchase price and Mr. Stadler affirmed that the offer was the purchase of 2.48 acres at a
price of $224,000 with the $25,000 being credited against the purchase price of $224,000.
Mr. Randels questioned if the City would have to post its intent to purchase 2.48 acres at
$224,000 for an additional 30 days prior to acting on the proposed purchase. Mr. Kancilia
stated that he would have to take the matter under advisement; he stated that Council could make
the motion, but may have to rescind the motion at a subsequent meeting after he had researched
the matter further.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Porter to amend the motion to provide for the
purchase of the additional .48 acres at a cost of $24,000 with the total cost of $224,000 for the
2.48 acres for sewer plant expansion. Mr. Kancilia stated that if the City had to re- advertise
the .48 acres purchase, the motion would be invalid. Mayor Salamone stated that she could not
support the amendment based on the legal liability, but she would be willing to take a straw
vote.
Mr. Kancilia concluded that to increase the purchase price would be invalid because Florida
Statute provisions required approval of the option contract and the option contract before Council
was for $200,000 and that was the purchase price which had been advertised. Mr. Nicholas
stated that on the basis of that decision he rescinded his amendment. Mr. Porter withdrew his
second to the amendment.
Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Mr. Berger to table the matter. Motion carried with

Mayor Salamone directed staff to post the 30 day notice for the 2.48 acre purchase.
NEW BUSINESS
1. Discussion & Motion Re: Ouarterly budg transfers.
Ms. Deborah Haggerty, City Treasurer, explained the submitted budget transfers for the second
quarter of FY 93/94 and stated that City Gas Company franchise fees came in at a higher ratio
than previously anticipated. She stated that there was a general fund contingency of $19,411.
Mayor Salamone and Mr. Randels commended Ms. Haggerty for her budget reporting
techniques.
Mr. Randels expressed his appreciation to the Public Works Department staff for the $4,400 of
funds collected for lot mowing and clearing which was approximately 100 times what was
collected the previous year. He stated that he was concerned that last year only $42.00 was
collected in lot mowing fees. He expressed his concern regarding the City paying property tax
for the copy machine equipment since it was still shown on the owner's inventory. Mr. Kancilia
stated that the provision to pay the property tax was included in the standard lease. There was
also discussion regarding the increased lifeguard contract fees.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to approve the quarterly budget transfers for
the quarter ending 3/31/94 as presented. Motion carried with members voting as follows:
Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tern Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For;
Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
2. Discussion & Motion Re: Ordinance No 18 -94 Amending City's Code of Ordinances

38 -2 TO PROVIDE FOR FIRE SAFETY FEES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY;
PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES; AND PROVIDING FOR
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to adopt Ordinance No. 18 -94 at first reading.
Dave Sargeant, Fire Chief, explained that Council had requested the ordinance to provide for
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
May 17, 1994
Page 5
fire inspection fees. He stated that the fees would be collected at the time the occupational
license was issued and the fees for plan reviews would be collected at the time of the issuance
of the building permits. The revenue from the fees would be placed in the general fund to offset
the cost of the fire inspections. Mr. Sargeant explained the multi - family and commercial fire
inspections covered by the ordinance. He stated that the fire inspections had been done in the
past, but no fees had been charged to offset the cost of the inspections.
Mr. Kancilia stated that the City could charge fees which were commensurate with the cost of
regulation and the fees could not be used as a tax or revenue source, but only to defray the cost
of the administration of the fire inspections. There was discussion regarding changes which
needed to be made to the ordinance including clarification of (d)(1)(b) on page 4 referencing
residential (permitted day care, etc.), exclusion of one- and two - single family homes under Sec.
38 -2 (a), and clarification of (d)(1)(f) regarding businesses or professional individuals sharing
one (1) office suite. There was also discussion regarding re- inspection fees and sovereign
immunity laws within the State of Florida. Mayor Salamone asked Mr. Kancilia to make the
necessary changes to the ordinance prior to the second and final reading scheduled for June 7,
1994.
Mr. Sargeant expressed the need to advertise the new fire inspection fees prior to the
implementation of the fees on October 1, 1994. Motion carried with members voting as follows:
Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tern Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For;
Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
Mayor Salamone stated that Council had received copies of a possible add -on item, Resolution
No. 94 -25. Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Nicholas to add Resolution No. 94-
25 as an add -on item. Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For;
Mayor Pro Tern Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For;
Councilmember Randels, For.
Mayor Salamone read the title of the Resolution.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY,

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Resolution No. 94 -25. Mr. Boucher
read a letter he had received from Beach Mapping & Surveying regarding the discrepancy found
in the legal description of Ocean Gardens - Wave Two. Motion carried with members voting
as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For;

4. Discussion & Motion Re: Award cooperative purchasing bid to Suncoast. Environmental,
Inc., for sewer manhole rehabilitation
Mr. Michael Gluskin, Public Works Director, explained that the City had approximately 250
manholes within its sewer system and approximately 16 of the manholes had deteriorated as a
result of noxious gases in the system. He asked Council's permission to contract with Suncoast
Environmental, Inc., in the amount of $22,570 for rehabilitation of 16 manholes. He expounded
upon the rehabilitation process in detail. Mr. Gluskin explained that the proposal was piggy-
backed off a cooperative purchasing agreement that was awarded by the City of Naples in 1992,
and subsequently extended for another year. He stated that he had contacted the company which
had agreed to extend the prices to Cape Canaveral until Council approval was received.
Mr. Kancilia questioned if the contract with the City of Naples was still in effect and Mr.
Gluskin stated that it had expired. He stated that the City could not legally use the contract as
a cooperative purchase since the original contract with Naples had expired. Mr. Gluskin stated
that when his department had sought to accomplish the purchase, the Naples contract was still
in force and within the time it had taken to bring the proposal to Council the contract had
expired. He stated that without the cooperative purchasing prices, the job would possibly double
in cost. Mayor Salamone stated that if such an emergency item came up again that a special
meeting be called which required three (3) Councilmembers to call the meeting.
There was further discussion regarding the deterioration of the City's manhole system, the slip
lining process for rehabilitation of sewer lines, and the possibility of purchasing a system to
rehabilitate the manholes with in -house staff and equipment.
After a ten - minute break, the meeting was reconvened
Mayor Salamone directed the City Manager to work on the manhole rehabilitation situation
immediately and to pursue the slip lining process for the sewer lines as well. She also suggested
that a complete maintenance program for the sewer system be written and adhered to; Mr.
Gluskin stated that his staff had identified all the lines and manholes which needed rehabilitation.
No further action was taken on this item.
7. Discussion Re: Staff Planner vs consultant planning services
Mr. Boucher presented some preliminary information regarding associated costs for a staff
Planner as compared to utilizing an outside consultant for the Comprehensive Plan revisions.
He stated that Dyer, Riddle, Mills & Precourt's (DRMP) proposal to provide such a consultant
would cost $54,737. He asked for direction from Council on the matter. Mr. Berger suggested
entering into a joint venture with another municipality for consultant planning services. Mayor
Salamone spoke against having a full -time planner on staff.
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
May 17, 1994
Page 7
Mr. Porter stated that he felt that the matter had not been explored fully and he felt it was
premature to disapprove the hiring of a staff planner or a consultant planner. He explained that
when he suggested the hiring of a City planner, he did not have in mind that the individual
would only be working on the Comp. Plan update. He wanted to hire an on -staff planner to also
work with the City's redevelopment agency and Commercial Development Board for
redevelopment of the AIA corridor; to coordinate grant efforts for projects the City wanted to
do anyway; and to capitalize on items the Council had previously discussed such as utilizing the
resources available through UCF to bring in volunteer staff to assist the City in its
redevelopment program. He stated that the City could employ an individual for a full year at
the same cost associated with the consultant services offered by DRMP. He further emphasized
that if the City did create a redevelopment agency; during the second year the redevelopment
agency could employ the City's planner within the agency.
Mr. Nicholas expressed that he felt that the DRMP proposal was way out -of -line. He suggested
advertising for planner services on a one -year basis. Mayor Salamone stated that a full -time
person was not fiscally feasible for the City. She stated that no creative means /options had been
offered to resolve the situation. Mr. Nicholas stated that the item needed to be established and
pursued as a priority item. Mayor Salamone asked for a response from staff within a month.
Mr. Gluskin advised that he was personally in favor of hiring a planner and that he could
envision a number of tasks in addition to the Comprehensive Plan and investigating the
possibility of grants whereby a City planner would be beneficial to the City. He also stated that
it may be fiscally infeasible at this time to hire such an individual. There was additional
discussion regarding the concept of a City planner and alternative means to resolve the situation.
Mr. Porter stated that some of the areas included in the City's Comp. Plan may need to be
reclassified as "blighted ". There was discussion regarding what Council envisioned the City to
be in 20 years. Mayor Salamone asked Councilmembers to spend more time thinking about their
vision of the City's future and discuss the matter again within a month.
Mrs. Beatrice McNeely advised that she felt that it was important for the City not to take the
short view and that long -term visioning was needed and she also felt that someone was needed
on staff to be available to advise the City boardmembers on planning matters as well.
3. Discussion & Motion Re: Canaveral Port Authority's Interlocal Sewer Service
Agreement proposal
Mr. Randels questioned why there were blanks included on page 4 of the agreement and Mr.
Boucher explained that the numbers would be included upon the City's receipt of an actual
construction price for the wastewater treatment plant improvements. Council disagreed with
sending the agreement to the Port with blanks and asked that at least approximations be included
in the blanks before presentation to the Port.
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
May 17, 1994
Page 8
Mayor Salamone stated that the agreement had been discussed in full and agreed to previously.
There was extensive discussion regarding the Port's request for 187,000 gpd of reserve capacity
and whether or not additional capacity would be given to the Port at a later date should the Port
utilize its full reserve capacity amount. It was discussed that 187,000 gpd be a daily limitation
amount, not an average for the month or year. Mr. Boucher stated that the Port had been
averaging a discharge amount of 60,000 - 70,000 gpd, but that the Port had a high peak in the
past of 147,000 gpd.
Mayor Salamone asked if a provision could be written in the agreement to allow that if the Port
exceeded the 187,000 gpd capacity for a certain number of days, that the Port would then have
one year to get off the City's system. Mr. Berger stated that Council wanted the excess capacity
fines increased and inclusion of a two -year termination clause after excessive abuse (exceeding
the 187,500 gpd limit). There was discussion regarding notifying the Port that the contract
would be terminated in the year 2000.
Mr. Randels did not believe it was in the City's best interests to terminate the contract. Mr.
Berger questioned if it was in the City's best interests to treat the Port's sewage. Mr. Randels
stated that the Port was paying 125% of the fees charged to local customers which allowed for
an approximate profit of $25,000 per year.
Mr. Randels stated that he felt it was a win /win situation to treat the Port's wastewater. He
stated that the Port needed the City as utilizing the City's wastewater plant was the most
economical for the Port. He further expressed his support of continuing with the Port's
agreement. Mr. Berger stated that workability between the entities and public relation concerns
may also be reasons to continue treating the Port's sewage.
Mr. Gluskin stated that earlier he had felt that the City should be partners with the Port, but the
City was not gaining anything by treating the Port's sewage. He stated that the City would
operate better without the Port due to the operational risk involved with treating the type of
sewage that came from the Port.
Mr. Nicholas suggested adopting a resolution fully stating the reasons for the termination of the
Port's agreement at the next Council meeting. Council concurred to place such a resolution on
the next Council workshop agenda.
5. Discussion & Motion Re: Ordinance No 16 -94 Amending City's Code of Ordinances

Mr. Randels expressed his concerns regarding the maintenance and conditions of the dumpsters
throughout the City. He asked Mr. Boucher to talk to Western Waste and advise that before
Council considered adoption of the ordinance that all the dumpsters be painted, cleaned and
deodorized. Mr. Nicholas stated that Western Waste needed to tell the City on what days of
each month it would be deodorizing and cleaning the dumpsters. Mr. Porter stated that he had
received calls regarding that the employees were not in uniforms. No action was taken on the
resolution.
8. Discussion Re: Architectural Review Board

Mr. Randels, stated he was in favor of the motion, but he wanted to question Chief Sargeant as
to whether he or not one person could actually perform said inspections, or would the

Mr. Randels questioned the City's responsibility when a City vehicle caused a spill of hazardous
chemicals. Mr. Kancilia answered that the City was liable under Federal Environmental
Protection laws to clean up hazardous spills, but if the City was responsible for the hazardous
spill, the City would incur the costs of clean-up even if a private contractor was used.

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Resolution No. 94 -26. Mr. Randels
questioned the benefit of the resolution to the City. Mr. Randels was specifically concerned with
Section 3 whereby the City would formally terminate negotiations with the Port. He inquired
if this would prevent the City from future permit negotiations with the Canaveral Port Authority.
Mr. Kancilia responded that resolutions were matters of temporary character. Mr. Nicholas
stated that only a referendum was irrevocable. Mayor Salamone commented that she had spoken

laterals. Mayor Salamone suggested that the City consider reimbursement of the cost of the

the City did not want to place an unfair burden on a property owner due to deterioration of City
sewer pipes and lines. There was discussion regarding City staff reviewing such problems on
a case by case basis and the need for City staff to investigate such problems to determine if the
sewer problems were the property owner's or the City's responsibility. Mr. Berger suggested
that City staff needed to investigate what costs in Mr. Vaughn's claim were legitimately the
City's responsibility. Council concurred to schedule discussion and possible reimbursement of
Mr. Vaughn's claim at the next Council workshop meeting.

beautification needs. Mr. Boucher stated that there were no plans to increase the number of
personnel currently responsible for beautification needs.
Mr. Porter stated that the largest shortfall of funds was in the police /fire budgets. He spoke
briefly regarding the concept of community policing through the use of volunteers. Mayor
Salamone questioned how Councilmembers felt about presenting a referendum to the citizens to
raise the police /fire millages. Mr. Randels stated that he was not in favor of increasing the
millages.
Mr. Boucher stated that the requested level of service for the Police Department included two
(2) additional officers for a proactive policing unit that would be more visible in the community
attacking any problem areas. Mayor Salamone stated she wanted managers /supervisors to be
more creative to use available resources in alternative ways. She stated that at some point in
time Council would have to decide that the ad valorem tax needed increasing. Mayor Salamone
stated that presenting referendum questions to the voters would enable the voters to express how
they felt about increasing the millage to raise the level of service in the police and fire
departments. She stated that the increased level of service would provide two (2) additional
police officers and a rescue truck along with personnel to man the truck (3 more people, one for
each shift). Discussion followed regarding the possibility of a millage increase.
Mr. Randels commented on the City's current practice of contracting out for
beautification /landscaping services. He stated that currently there were seven (7) positions at
the Street Department and he questioned whether or not the seven (7) people were being utilized
to their maximum potential for the costs involved. He suggested that the City may wish to
investigate the possibility of contracting for more services based on the savings realized with
contracting out for landscaping services. Mayor Salamone stated that she understood that one
of the Street department employees had been hired because of his /her certification in the
application of pesticides and that the pesticide services were currently contracted out.
Mr. Nicholas suggested researching the possibility of contracting with Brevard County or Cocoa
Beach for fire/rescue and police protection, and soliciting requests for proposals for audit
services and attorney services. Mayor Salamone asked Mr. Boucher to check all of the avenues
suggested by Mr. Nicholas. She stated that she would be concerned about the quality of services
available if the City were to contract for fire /police services with another municipality.
There was additional discussion regarding the community policing concept. Mayor Salamone
asked staff to research the prospect of utilizing college students for community service projects
such as helping with recreational, clerical or administrative services. She stated that Council
did not want to reduce employees' membership fees or travel expenses for conferences and
organizations that employees needed to participate in. She asked that staff provide new ways

to conduct services (big ticket items) rather than looking at minor budget cuts on a line -by -line
basis.
Mr. Porter advocated the development of the Long Point Road property into a passive park of
some sort, and construction of basketball hoops /courts in different areas of the City to help
address the needs of youths between the ages of 12 - 18. He mentioned several of his budget
priorities including the tree program, A 1 beautification, different parks, redevelopment issues,
and researching the availability of grant funds. He stated that all of his potential ideas needed
a grant writer and he had spoken to Mary Ingram, Senior Community Service Employment
Program, regarding the possibility of obtaining a professional individual to work for the City for
a full year without costing the City any funds. Council supported the concept of acquiring a
college student or senior professional through any of the programs available whereby the
individuals would be paid through another source /program and not cost the City any additional
funds. Council also supported further research into the community policing concept.

needed to transpire within the next 28 months regarding the update of the City's Comprehensive
Plan. Mayor Salamone stated that she was concerned about the lack of history available to the
Planning & Zoning Board and she stated that the City Council could become the Local Planning
Agency. Mr. Berger expressed that it would be beneficial to obtain new and fresh objectives
from the current Planning & Zoning Board and that it would also be a good educational process
for the Board. Mr. Porter questioned if certain members of Council could also serve on the
Local Planning Agency. Mr. Kancilia stated he would have to research the matter further and
that there may be a potential violation due to provisions currently within the City's Charter.
There was further discussion regarding the makeup of the Local Planning Agency and the
necessary Comprehensive Plan amendments.

he asked for input from Council regarding several issues. Council concurred that there be five
(5) County Commissioners elected on a non - partisan basis and that the County Manager be
employed directly by the County Commission based on his /her qualifications and experience.

the Florida League of Cities annual convention. Council supported Mr. Randels' attendance at
the convention with the City paying for his travel expenses /registration fees.

needed to be increased. She asked that Mr. Kancilia further research the issue. There was

had not received the budget for the next fiscal year. Mr. Kancilia explained the time constraints
involved with scheduling a referendum election, either at the general election scheduled for

to agenda the item as an ordinance at the next regular Council meeting
13. Discussion Re: Government Econo Coalition findines.
Mr. Porter stated that the Coalition had come up with a mission statement and priorities. He
advised that the reason for the Coalition was to allow the fifteen (15) municipalities in Brevard
County to work together to determine a cohesive plan to attain and increase value -added jobs.
He recommended that copies of the Coalition's priorities be given to the Commercial
Development Board for their input. Mr. Porter agreed to attend the next Commercial
Development Board meeting to explain the Economic Coalition's findings.
There was general discussion regarding impact fees imposed on new construction.
14. Discussion Re: Possibility of recommending Council salary increase
Mr. Kancilia advised that Council's annual compensation could be changed by an ordinance, not
by referendum. Mr. Berger explained his reasons for supporting a salary increase rather than
increased allowances for expenses (travel, per diem, etc.). There was discussion regarding
travel expenses vs. salary increases. Mayor Salamone felt that Council salaries should be
doubled. She recommended that the City Attorney write an ordinance to increase Council
salaries for the next Council meeting.
15. City Manager's Report.
Mr. Boucher stated that Council had received a request from County Commissioner Sue Schmitt
regarding a letter of support to keep the 301st Squadron at Patrick Air Force Base. Council
concurred to have such a letter sent to the appropriate parties.

Council.
Mr. Boucher distributed copies of the ad written by Joyce Hicks of the Commercial
Development Board that would be included in the next Port Journal.

Boulevard and North Atlantic Avenue and the County would also be reviewing other ways to
improve the bikepath on the west side of North Atlantic.

Mr. Boucher advised that the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) was
sending an individual, Bill Ednis, to assist the City in grant writing and commercial development
areas.
Mr. Boucher stated that there was a summary judgement hearing scheduled for September 6,
1994, in the Royal Mansions case.
DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Kancilia advised that the Council could designate itself as the Local Planning Agency
(LPA) in order to review the Comprehensive Plan or it could designate Council and the Planning
and Zoning Board as the LPA. He explained the organizational and logistical problems involved
in designating Council and Planning & Zoning Boardmembers as the LPA. He advised that a
compromise solution would be to appoint one (1) or two (2) members of Council to the LPA
along with the Planning & Zoning Board which would somewhat minimize the impracticalities
of appointing the entire Council to the LPA. Mayor Salamone asked two (2) members of
Council to volunteer to serve on the LPA. Mr. Nicholas and Mr. Randels agreed to serve on
the LPA and Mr. Kancilia would prepare an ordinance for the next Council meeting to appoint
said members to the LPA.
Mayor Salamone also recommended that Lamar Russell be notified as to the days and times of
the LPA meetings.
2. Mr. Nicholas stated that he was concerned about the library expansion and asked that the
Council be brought into the loop of approval as far the expansion was concerned. Mayor
Salamone asked that Mr. Boucher contact the County to ask that Council be included in the loop
of the library expansion process. Mr. Nicholas commented that the County had applied for a
CDBG grant to supplement the cost of the library expansion.
3. Mr. Porter asked that if Council received any information relative to available grants that
the information be forwarded to the part-time grant writer.
4. Mr. Randels stated that Keep Brevard Beautiful had a $1,600 grant available.
5. Mr. Randels referenced the article in The Tribune regarding the use of Timbrex (recycled
materials) for dune crossovers.
6. Mr. Randels questioned if the City would be having a 24 -hour per day, 7 -day a week
wastewater treatment plant and Mr. Boucher responded that the matter was not final because a
permit had not been received as of yet.

7. Mr. Randels advised that he would be attending a SCAT meeting the next day regarding
transportation issues.
8. Mr. Randels commented that he felt the City newsletter was unbiased, very factual and well
done.
9. Mr. Randels mentioned that Council was receiving monthly reports from Dyer, Riddle,
Mills & Precourt and he appreciated same.
10. Mr. Randels stated that the next Space Coast League of Cities meeting was scheduled for
Monday, July 11th.
11. Mr. Randels questioned the status of Tower Boulevard improvements. Mr. Boucher stated
that the bid documents were prepared and would be sent out by the end of the week. Mr.
Randels stated that he would like to encourage the developer to pave the section of road leading
up to his development after the road was stabilized. Mr. Boucher stated that the roadway from
the sewer plant to Cape Sierra would be stabilized (east -west portion). Mayor Salamone stated
that she had agreed to stabilizing 300', not the entire roadway length. She asked for copies of
the minutes which reflected what Council's intent had been for the stabilization of Tower
Boulevard.
12. Mr. Randels commented that Mr. Abe, Central Supply, had a concern regarding an off
premise sign. He asked that staff determine the original intent of the five -year compliance
clause included in the sign ordinance.

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Randels for an add -on item to the agenda. Motion
carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger,
For; Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Porter that the add -on item be entitled discussion re:
movement of cement trucks through Harbor Heights for construction. Motion carried with
members voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For;
Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
Mr. Boucher advised that Benko Construction, contractor for the Ocean Oaks project, had
requested a temporary limited access through Harbor Heights for delivery of cement trucks to
finish pourings for the entranceways to the project. He had received a letter from Benko
Construction outlining the conditions of the request which included a guarantee of safety,
cleaning up after the cement trucks, and making any repairs to the roadway if needed after
completion of the cement pourings. He introduced Mr. Gary Downing as the Ocean Oaks'
Project Superintendent. Mr. Downing stated that the project was nearing completion and the
crews were completing the site work (pouring concrete driveways, curbs, etc.). He explained
that the main access to the site would be cut off in order to place the necessary concrete and that
such construction had always been included within the project's scope. He stated that every
attempt would be made to reroute the traffic and that there may be three (3) concrete pours on
a large scale on 2 -3 days. He reiterated that Benko Construction was willing to do anything
necessary to ensure the safety of the residents as well as maintaining the conditions of the road.
Mr. Randels expressed his concerns regarding the possibility of damage to the roadways, safety
related problems, extra traffic, and general annoyance to the neighborhood. He stated that at
a minimum he wanted to have the subject streets videotaped prior to and after any construction
traffic through Harbor Heights to determine the current roadway conditions and the extent of any
damage afterwards. He questioned if the trucks could be routed in from Central Avenue; Mr.
Downing explained that there was a point at which there would be no alternative but to bring
the trucks in from the north to pour concrete for the main drives. Mr. Downing stated that his
company intended to replace any shrubbery or roadway damaged during the transport of the
concrete.

Mr. Nicholas advised that he found it hard to believe that the project could not have been
planned differently to eliminate the need for the northern access. He further expounded on his
reasons for not supporting the use of Harbor Heights streets for the requested construction
traffic. Mr. Boucher described the layout of the subject property and the proposed construction
traffic route. Mr. Morgan stated that in his research he had been unable to locate anything in
the City's Code or the technical codes that would limit or prevent temporary construction access
for a construction site. He stated that there was an ordinance on the books that reiterated the
requirement that the developer fix any damage incurred to City roads caused by the construction
traffic. He commented that Ocean Woods was a private right -of -way, whereas Harbor Heights
roadways were public right -of -ways. He advised that a courtesy letter advising the residents of
the construction traffic had been sent to all residents of the area.
There was further discussion regarding other possibilities for achieving the construction access
required without traversing through Harbor Heights. The following residents of the Harbor
Heights area expressed their concerns against allowing the construction traffic through their
subdivision: Mr. Goldberg, Sue Hagan, and Fred Distashio. Mr. Hans Saurenmann suggested
using an alternative route near the post office off of Eberwein Road. Mr. Ray McGee stated
that the roadways within Harbor Heights were built prior to the existence of the City and that
potentially the roads could not handle a project of this magnitude with potential truck loads of
75,000 lbs. Mrs. Martha Seymour commented that the trucks that had been traversing Central
Boulevard for the sand transfer project and the subject construction project were traveling in
excess of the posted speed limits.
Mr. Randels suggested scheduling a meeting with several of the concerned citizens, the
construction manager and City staff to review the situation further. He also encouraged the
Building Official to research additional solutions.
Mr. Lamar Russell questioned if there was any intent on behalf of the City to extend Ridgewood
Boulevard. He commented on the Villages of Seaport and Ocean Woods' projects and the
private ownership of the roads within both developments. He stated that there were several
problems related to Harbor Drive including no sidewalks and safety concerns from traffic from
the Circle K and the Mexican cafe across from the entrance to Harbor Heights. Mr. Russell
recommended that the Council request that the Planning & Zoning Board include in the traffic
element of the City's Comprehensive Plan to extend Ridgewood only when it could be extended
the full length all the way to Jetty Park, and not allow extensions on a piece meal basis. Mr.
Leonard Focarelli stated that the Ridgewood Avenue extension was in the capital funding portion
of the adopted 1988 Comprehensive Plan. He questioned whether or not there was any
possibility of pumping or craning the concrete into the Ocean Oaks site. Mr. Downing
explained the limits placed on such means of transporting the concrete.
Mr. Nicholas expressed his opinion that possibly the project was designed inaccurately to have
created such problems with construction access. Mr. Porter expressed his wish that the City had
identified this potential problem at an earlier date and he advocated the need to look for other
solutions to the immediate problem. Mr. Downing suggested that the City meet with Mr. Jack
Bennett, Project Manager, who had designed the project. Mr. Randels volunteered to meet with
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
July 19, 1994
Page 3
the citizens, City staff and Mr. Bennett to ascertain an alternative means of access to the
construction site. Mr. Boucher expressed his concerns regarding the possibility of removing oak
trees to gain access to the property which would in turn potentially alienate the Ocean Woods'
homeowners.
There was discussion regarding whether or not the City had jurisdiction over the subject
roadways. Mr. Nicholas stated that he wanted the City to pursue doing whatever was necessary
to stop the truck traffic through Harbor Heights. Discussion followed concerning the possible
need for an emergency ordinance to eliminate truck traffic on residential streets within the City.
Mr. Porter stated that the City needed to research an alternative way into the property without
going through Harbor Heights and without destroying trees. He suggested that staff, Mr.
Randels and concerned citizens meet with Mr. Bennett to seek an agreeable solution within the
next week. Council concurred to schedule the matter for further discussion at the next Council
workshop meeting.
After a ten - minute break, the meeting was reconvened.
NEW BUSINESS:
4. Di scussion Re: The unfinished buildings in the 200 Block of East Central Boulevard.
Mr. Randels explained that he had requested that this item be placed on the agenda for
discussion. He stated that he did live on the same street as the buildings in question. He
advised that Dr. Pindziak had assured him that work was continuing on the buildings in question
and the buildings would be completed as Dr. Pindziak could get to them. Mr. Randels stated
that he had received numerous complaints regarding the subject unfinished buildings. He
referenced ordinances from two (2) other cities which addressed unfinished buildings.
Dr. Charles Pindziak stated that he was the only owner with ongoing construction at 200 Central
Boulevard and he felt that the matter was a personal issue on the part of Mr. Randels. He
explained that he had invested in the subject properties and had continued work at all times on
the properties. Dr. Pindziak commented that Mr. Randels' main concern appeared to be the
painting of 285 & 295 Central Boulevard. He advised that the buildings were stuccoed in gray
with water sealer; if the buildings were painted gray, they would resemble the stucco
appearance. Dr. Pindziak did not feel that he had broken any City ordinances.
Mrs. Martha Seymour commented that the buildings had been uncompleted for at least seven (7)
years. Mr. Porter stated that different complaints regarding the buildings had been expressed
to him several times as well. Dr. Pindziak remarked against excessive government intervention.
Mr. Saurenmann questioned why Council did not write a new ordinance to address unfinished
buildings and to allow builders a set time to complete the buildings. Ms. Vicki Fischer, Central
Blvd., questioned why the City continued to grant permits for multiple buildings /projects that
were not finished. Ms. Carol Wells, Central Blvd., stated that she had observed one slab for
a driveway poured, six months later another slab was poured, and so on. She commented that
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
July 19, 1994
Page 4
the construction was progressing at a very slow pace. Dr. Pindziak stated that he wanted to
supervise all of the work himself and he was limited by other demands on his time.
Mrs. Seymour explained that she was concerned with beautification needs throughout the City
and that it bothered her that one project was not finished prior to starting another project. She
encouraged the City to do something about unfinished buildings. Mr. Dick Benson, Central
Blvd., spoke against the unfinished buildings and the potential for devaluation of surrounding
properties and he also encouraged Council to enact legislation to allow one (1) year for
completion of construction.
Mr. Porter questioned if there was a tax advantage to unimproved property vs.
improved /constructed property. Mr. Kancilia explained some of the tax issues involved. Mr.
Porter expressed his personal feeling that the properties were unsightly.
Mr. Berger stated that it was not only a question of finishing projects, but a question of
aesthetics /cosmetics and that maybe the City was not taking the right approach to the matter.
He stated that if the properties in question had sidewalks installed, trees planted, walls painted,
etc., the surrounding residents would not be concerned with whether or not the construction was
finished on the inside. Mr. Nicholas suggested scheduling the item for further discussion at the
next workshop meeting.
There was further discussion regarding unfinished buildings and aesthetics /cosmetics issues of
the subject property. Ms. Vicki Fisher stated that when her home was under construction there
were some delays and several times City staffinembers questioned her regarding when the home
would be completed. Mrs. Martha Seymour commented on another location next to the Straw
Hat Club which only contained a concrete slab and fence. Mr. Porter stated that there were two
(2) ways to look at the problem, from a cosmetic standpoint through Code Enforcement or the
Beautification Board or a possible ordinance to place time limits on the completion of new
construction. Council concurred to schedule the matter for further discussion at the next
workshop meeting.

Hoyman, Dobson fees were based on actual time spent and the proposed audit fees were not to
exceed $21,000 for the audit and $3,000 for the CAFR. He briefly described items included
within the financial audits. He referenced the annual audit fees paid by other cities within the
County - West Melbourne - $32,900 and Satellite Beach - $14,400.
Council concurred to schedule an item on the next Council workshop meeting to determine if
Hoyman, Dobson were to remain as the City's auditors. Mr. Nicholas stated that he wanted the
City to go out for bids for all outside services.

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Randels to adopt Resolution No. 94 -24. Mr. Randels
spoke in favor of the Resolution. He stated that the proposed increase only applied to
commercial accounts. Mr. Porter stated that items of concern had been addressed within the
past month, but that he hoped to see the same dedication and quality services from Western
Waste throughout the year rather than only at contract time. Mr. Nicholas stated that he was
still concerned regarding the deodorization of the dumpsters. Mr. George Gilchrist, Western
Waste, stated that the company had recently purchased a new commercial truck which would be
used to deodorize each container upon pickup. Mr. Porter directed staff to monitor contract
compliance throughout the year.
Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Porter to amend the motion to provide for an effective date of
August 1, 1994, in Section 3 of the resolution. Motion carried with members voting as follows:

2. Discussion Re: Legal services contract.
Mr. Boucher stated that John Kancilia had left the firm of Reinman, Harrell, Graham, Mitchell
& Wattwood and the firm had indicated that as part of their continuing contract with the City
they wished to leave matters status quo with Mr. Kancilia fulfilling the services of City Attorney
for the remainder of the contract. Mr. Randels commented on the intent of Mr. Gougelman's
letter on behalf of the firm. Mr. Kancilia stated that he hoped to continue as the City Attorney.
He stated that he had spoken with Mr. Reinman and Mr. Gougelman and that it was the
intention of Reinman, Harrell to continue the contractual commitment through the expiration of
the present contract which expires on September 30, 1994. Reinman, Harrell and Mr. Kancilia
had agreed, with concurrence of the City, that Mr. Kancilia would continue as City Attorney
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
July 19, 1994
Page 8
through September 30, 1994. Mr. Kancilia stated that Mr. Nicholas had mentioned possibly re-
bidding all of the City's professional services and he fully intended to be a candidate for the City
Attorney position.
Council concurred to allow Mr. Kancilia to continue as City Attorney on a subcontract basis
through Reinman, Harrell and to place the matter on the next workshop agenda to discuss
advertising for legal services.
3. Discussion Re: The Wssibility of vacating a section of Tower Boulevard vs. the need
costs benefits of the City paving and maintaining said section.
Mr. Randels stated that staff had explored the option of vacating a section of Tower Boulevard
and although it was feasible to vacate the road, it was not acceptable to all concerned
landowners. He explained that he had been proposing vacating the eastern section beginning at
the west end of Cape Sierra to the wastewater treatment plant. Mr. Jim Morgan, Building
Official, stated that possibly the City could stabilize the roadway up to Mr. Tezel's property and
then temporarily barricade the roadway from the eastern end up to the western end of the
project. He stated that the Fire Department had concerns regarding access to a fire hydrant.
Mr. Morgan explained that the closing of the right -of -way would be temporary only.
Mr. Boucher stated that Mr. Tezel had approached him with a suggestion to utilize the provision
in the impact fee ordinance for in -kind services ($520 x 25 units = $13,000). He stated that
Mr. Tezel was willing to trade off the $13,000 of in -kind services to construct the first 300' of
roadway up to the Discovery Bay property. Mr Boucher stated that the Council could authorize
the trade -off of the impact fees for in -kind services if appropriate and the in -kind service would
be the paving of the first 300' of the roadway up to the Discovery Bay entrance way. He stated
that the bids had been advertised for the stabilization of Tower Boulevard and the bid opening
was scheduled for August 16, 1994.
Mr. Porter questioned if there were any documents which stated that the City had agreed to pave
Tower Boulevard. Mr. Kancilia stated that there was a document from when Cevesco, Inc. had
dedicated the Tower Boulevard right -of -way to the City; the dedication was made on the
condition that the City would pave Tower Boulevard (no time frame was indicated on the deed).
The deed was signed by George Firkins and the City accepted and recorded the deed. Mr.
Porter stated that based on those circumstances the City should allow Mr. Tezel to use the
impact fees to pave the roadway. Mr. Randels expressed his opinion that it was a moral, legal
and ethical issue on the part of the City to pave Tower Boulevard and he further explained the
history of Tower Boulevard and his reasons for recommending the paving of Tower Boulevard.
Mr. Kancilia stated that the City's undertaking to pave the roadway was done in conjunction
with acceptance of the deed from Cevesco and the City had a general obligation perhaps to pave
the road. He stated that Mr. Tezel's firm may not have the same legal rights in terms of being
able to enforce the agreement that was originally between the City and Cevesco. Mr. Porter
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
July 19, 1994
Page 9
commented that it was not a legal question at this time. Mr. Nicholas also commented on the
history of Tower Boulevard improvements and that the City in the past had agreed to pave the
roadway for the benefit of the City, not the property owner.
Council concurred to schedule a resolution for consideration at the next workshop meeting to
allow the trade -off of impact fees for in -kind services on the Discovery Bay project. There was
additional discussion regarding the St. John's permit which gave permission only to stabilize the
roadway and the need for additional retention areas if the roadway was paved. Mr. Tezel stated
that he would be paying a total of $67,000 in impact fees for his project and he felt that it was
in the best interests of the City to pave the roadway.
5. Discussion & Motion Re: Interlocal Agreement with Brevard County for Recycling and
Education Grant, Addendum No. 1.

Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Resolution No. 94 -33. Mr. Randels
stated that he was concerned with the decrease in the Beautification millage and that the citizens
had voted for a millage of up to .5000 mill and that gradually the City had reduced the millage
until there were limited funds to complete Beautification projects. Motion by Mr. Randels,
seconded by Mr. Berger to amend the motion to change the millage rate in Section 1 for the
Beautification Dependent Special District to .4843 mill. Motion carried with members voting
as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember

expenses involved in the City's share of maintenance costs for the library. He stated that the

Review Board.
Council concurred with the recommendation of the Beautification Board for the formation of an
Ad Hoc Committee to review criteria for an Architectural Review Board. Mr. Kancilia advised
that the Ad Hoc Committee would need to function as a "fact- finding body only" and that any
actual recommendations would need to be filtered back through an official City Board such as
the Beautification Board or Planning & Zoning Board.

DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Kancilia stated that he needed direction from Council regarding the scheduled closing
for the purchase of two (2) acres located near the wastewater treatment plant. He stated that the
title insurance commitment showed eight (8) easements (5 were in favor of the City, 3 were
not). He stated that the three (3) easements potentially created a defect in the title to the
property. He advised that the City could choose to acquire the property subject to the easements
and deal with the easements at a later date or the City could choose to reject the contract. He
recommended that the City seek an extension to the closing date to clear up the easement
problems. Council concurred with the City Attorney's recommendation.

1. Ordinance 25 -94 Amending City's Code of Ordinances Chapter 70 Taxation by
repealing and reenacting Article III Occupational License Tax. for second and final reading.
Mayor Pro Tern John Porter read the title of the Ordinance.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY,
FLORIDA; AMENDING CHAPTER 70, TAXATION OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES
OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BY REPEALING IN ITS ENTIRETY, ARTICLE
III, OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE TAX ADOPTING A NEW ARTICLE; ESTABLISHING A
NEW FEE SCHEDULE; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL
OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Ordinance No. 25 -94 at second and
final reading. Mr. Randels commented on the guidelines used by the Equity Study Commission
and subsequent results in order to provide a fair and equitable ordinance. According to the
Florida Statutes, the rates could have been increased up to 10 percent, however, the rate
structure was only increased by 9 percent. Mr. Randels reiterated on the performance of the
Equity Study Commission by noting how the group simplified the existing license structure,
reduced the number of categories from 21 to five, established minimum fees, updated license
fees, and restored equity to the occupational license tax structure by utilizing comparable
ordinances from 16 other municipalities.
Mayor Pro Tern Porter acknowledged those in the business community with objections to the
ordinance and also recognized the presence of Mr. Fred Fishback and several members of the
Equity Study Commission who were present to address any questions or concerns.
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Special Meeting
July 28, 1994
Page 2
Mr. Arthur E. "Bud" Burns addressed Council with his objections regarding the fees charged
for mini - storage units. Mr. Burns distributed copies of his concerns to Council and staff. His
objection was based on the words "fair and equitable" in the second paragraph of the cover page
of the occupational license. Mr. Burns expressed that his mini - storage facility should not have
been categorized as a dwelling, but as a service.
Mr. Fishback responded to Mr. Burns' objections and addressed the classification of his mini -
storage facility in comparison with a rented dwelling. In concept, a mini - storage facility was
more similar to a rented dwelling that any other category. The concept that the Equity
Commission tried to maintain throughout the process was that a larger business with a greater
number of units or employees should have an occupational fee greater than a business with fewer
units or employees. Mayor Pro Tern Porter questioned Mr. Fishback regarding a former
objection of fees based on per unit or square footage charges. Mr. Fishback answered that a
per unit fee was better related to impact because of the number of units for rent and the amount
of traffic involved. Mr. Berger pointed out that sectioning the overall unit more adequately
benefitted the customer with suitably sized storage for their particular needs. Mr. Berger
suggested that a minimal rate be paid for the size of the overall storage facility in light of the
expense involved in the process of sectioning the overall unit. Mr. Jim Means commented that
Mr. Bums' percentage increase was a rather small increase compared to that experienced by
many of the other businesses.
Mr. Nicholas asked Council to poll the audience in response to the occupational license in order
to ascertain how many concerns needed to be addressed. Mr. Hans K. Saurenmann questioned
if the discussion referred to taxes or license. He defined a license as a flat fee, however, taxes
were fees based on square feet. Mr. Saurenmann explained that his business was already taxed
and that an occupational license should be a flat fee and that there should not be so many
categories.
Mayor Pro Tem Porter noted the time and since there were several remaining concerns before
Council for discussion, he asked Mr. Kancilia if deferment of the workshop meeting at 7:00
p.m. was in order. Mr. Kancilia agreed that the workshop should be deferred until the
conclusion of the special meeting.
Mr. Burns rebutted Mr. Fishback's answers to his concerns and stated that the occupational
license was cluttered with real estate terms which would cause his license to be renewed at a
higher level. He also reiterated that his occupational license fee was not in the category of his
business. He restated that warehouses were not dwelling units.
Mr. Kancilia stated that occupational licenses were taxes. The State recognized that an
occupational licensing ordinance was a taxing ordinance, not a regulatory ordinance. There were
a number of bases upon which an occupational license tax would be imposed. The basis a city
could not utilize was sales or revenue since these were in the form of an income tax. The
Equity Study Commission had substantially reduced the inequities of the former occupational
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Special Meeting

Page 3
license structure.
Mr. Nicholas commented that the terminology of dwelling needed to be changed to fit the
classification of a mini- storage facility. He suggested that the proposed fee of $2.00 per unit
be lowered based on the actual usage of a mini - storage facility in comparison to other usages
in the same category.
Mr. Kancilia explained that the proposed changes to the occupational license ordinance could
not be made without going through the advertising requirements again. Mr. Nicholas questioned
if Tuesday, August 2nd, would be adequate time to implement changes. Ms. Deborah Haggerty,
City Treasurer, stated that her staff would need appropriate time to prepare the licenses since
the statute mandated that the occupational licenses go on sale Monday, August 1st. She also
asked Mr. Kancilia if the occupational license ordinance could pass as stated with the exception
of, perhaps, dwellings for rent which could be addressed at another time. Mr. Kancilia
explained that if certain classifications were omitted the opportunity may be missed to enact a
new rate. Further discussion followed on proposed changes to the classification or cost per unit.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Porter to amend the ordinance on Page
10 in the category "dwellings for rent" in such manner that Council change the category from
"dwellings" to "property for rent" and that Council change the mini - storage complex from
125.00 plus $2.00 per unit" to 125.00 plus $1.00 per unit" and that Council change the last
line 'operators of other dwellings not specifically stated" to "operators of other property not
specifically stated ". Mr. Berger questioned why rates were being included in the amendment.
Mr. Nicholas answered that if rates were not changed at this point they could not be changed
for another year. Mayor Pro Tem Porter based his decision on the recommendation of the
Equity Study Commission to lower the rate. Mr. Randels felt that the ordinance should go
forward and delete the mini - storage classification and no license be purchased until Council
could address the matter. Discussion followed on the consequences of deleting the mini - storage
classification from the ordinance until Council could address the matter. Motion on the
amendment failed with members voting as follows:

Mr. Berger suggested that the mini - storage classification be deleted from the main ordinance
until Council could reach an equitable solution for the category. Mayor Pro Tem Porter
proposed that this suggestion be placed in the form of an amendment.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Porter for an amendment that a particular
mini - warehouse category remain the same as last year. Mr. Kancilia noted one procedural point
in that the amount of the fee for last year should be read into the record as part of the
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Special Meeting
July 28, 1994
Page 4
amendment. He also added that if the fee remained the same as last year in order to further
study its equity, the opportunity to increase the fee could not be done for another year. Mr.
Randels clarified his motion by stating that on the mini - storage warehouses Council would adopt
the old rate of $62.50 per building for the upcoming year. Mr. Fishback commented that
instead of reconvening the Equity Study Commission for one category that Council set an
amount. Mr. Randels withdrew his amendment and Mayor Pro Tem Porter withdrew his second
to the amendment.
Mr. Berger questioned Mr. Fishback on his recommendation to lower the fee for mini - storage
warehouses. Members of the Equity Study Commission informally recommended $1.50 per unit
as the fee. Mr. Berger then asked Mr. Burns what was his recommendation to solve the fee
problem. Mr. Burns stated that even at the fee of $1.50 per unit, his warehouse fee in the future
would be over $300. Mr. Berger stated that there should be a flat rate for mini - storage
businesses. Further discussion followed regarding mini - storage businesses.
Mr. Nicholas questioned Mr. Kancilia as to the City's ability to raise the occupational licenses
in the future under the State Statute guidelines. Mr. Kancilia answered that after the enactment
of a comprehensive ordinance the fee could not be increased by more than 5 % every other year.
Mr. Porter defined the options available to resolve the problem: 1) Council could keep the fee
at its current level, 2) Council could reduce the fee, or 3) Council could remove the portion
relating to mini - storage warehouses as suggested by Mr. Randels. Mr. Porter polled Council
on each members position based upon these options. Mr. Kancilia noted also that there were
certain housekeeping amendments that still needed to be addressed.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Porter to amend Page 10 "dwellings for
rent" to "property for rent," change "dwellings" at the bottom of the page to "property," and
on mini - storage businesses change the 125.00 plus $2.00 per unit" to 125.00 plus $1.50 per
unit." Motion on the amendment failed with members of Council voting as follows:

Mr. Clark asked Council to brief him on the revised occupational license since he was on
vacation during its inception. Mr. Porter explained that the State had mandated that all
municipalities and governmental entities in the entire State of Florida study the structure and
equity of its occupational license fees. He further explained that the City convened a volunteer
group of business men and women from the community to review the City's entire occupational
license structure. Mr. Kurt Ronstrum stated that he not only served on the Equity Study
Commission, but in so doing he voted on fees that would more than double the fees on two (2)
of his businesses.

Mr. Fishback questioned Mr. Kancilia on the adjustments made to a category classified as
miscellaneous to a fee of $93.75. His concern was that any new business could only be charged
$93.75. Mr. Kancilia explained his reasons for recommending the fee of $93.75 to any "new"
category that had not been included in the previous occupational license ordinance. Mr.
Fishback reiterated his concern and stated that this created inequities in the system.
Mayor Pro Tem Porter addressed the internal housekeeping amendments to the ordinance. Mr.
Randels presented the first amendment under service- oriented businesses on page nine whereby
the category of cleaning and janitorial services was omitted. Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded
by Mr. Nicholas to amend the category of cleaning and janitorial services under service- oriented
business to include a rate of $50.00 with a $1,000 surety bond requirement and to delete the
surety bond for private investigators.
Mr. Nicholas questioned the benefit of surety bonds. Mr. Kancilia responded that surety bonds
were insurance against certain risks and that fidelity bonds protected against dishonesty on the
part of the profession; therefore, if a claim were made against the City, the City could go back
against the bond. He further explained that the bond protected against costs incurred for
enforcement of the ordinance. Further discussion followed on the effectiveness of using a surety
bond. Motion on the amendment carried with members voting as follows:

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Randels to amend the ordinance to delete the
requirement for surety bond from all categories listed in the ordinance which consisted of
cleaning and janitorial, decorating, and detective agencies. Mayor Pro Tem Porter asked Mr.
Berger due to his personal involvement with being required to provide surety bonds in his
business if a surety bond was effective. Mr. Berger felt that a surety bond was no longer
required. Motion carried on the amendment with members voting as follows:

AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Nicholas to adopt Ordinance No. 20 -94 at first
reading. Mr. Porter commented on the letter sent by Gerry Schmitz questioning the provision
in the ordinance whereby the City was asking citizens to install a concrete pad or an
impermeable surface, he suggested that this item be amended. Mr. Randels noted that this
amendment had been made in the revised Ordinance. Mr. Nicholas stated that the ordinance did
not specifically restrict paving to asphalt or concrete, it included sand, gravel, etc.
Mayor Salamone asked Mr. Kancilia if the ordinance addressed other points addressed by
Council, such as the twenty -five feet set back requirement. Mr. Kancilia answered that the
ordinance prohibited the parking of vehicles within four feet of the right -of -way abutting any
street. Mayor Salamone expressed that she felt the limitation was unfair to citizens. Mr. Berger
commented that the sidewalks were built within the easement and he did not think that trailers
or boats should be parked within the easement. Mr. Kancilia stated that if the sidewalks in
question were all within the right -of -way and the City did not want boats and utility vehicles
protruding over the sidewalk, the proposed Ordinance included "within four feet of the right -of-
way which was four feet off the sidewalk, then the wording could be changed to provide that
no vehicle would be parked on the right -of -way. He stated that then the vehicles would be
allowed closer to the street and aesthetically that provision may be objectionable to some
individuals. There was further discussion regarding the areas where no sidewalks were provided
and other right -of -way concerns as related to the parking of boats and other such vehicles.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to amend Section 1 of the Ordinance, Sec.
110- 551(b)(2)(a) to allow that no boats, utility trailers, recreational vehicles, or special purpose
vehicles "shall park within the right -of -way as opposed to within four (4) feet of the right -of -way
line abutting the street ". Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone,
For; Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For;
Councilmember Randels, For.
Mr. Randels expressed his concerns regarding the "relaxation of the parking requirements"
included within the proposed Ordinance. Discussion followed regarding the screening limitations
included in R -1 and R -3 zoning, and the limitation against the parking of any vehicle in excess
of thirty (30) feet in length in R -1, R -2 or R -3 zoning. After discussion, Council concurred that
such vehicles in excess of thirty (30) feet in R -2 and R -3 zoning would require screening. Mr.
Nicholas expressed his concerns regarding the provision which allowed the parking of such
vehicles on vacant lots under certain conditions including the written consent of the lot owner,
current license plates, and that the vehicle needed to be in operable condition. Council
concurred to further discuss Section 3 of the Ordinance at the next regular workshop meeting
to be held on September 1, 1994.

4. Ordinance No 32-94, Amending Section 38 -2 Fire Safety Fees to provide for reduced
fire safety fees, for first reading.
Mayor Salamone read the title of the Ordinance.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY,
FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 38 -2, FIRE SAFETY FEES, TO PROVIDE FOR
REDUCED FIRE SAFETY FEES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR
REPEAL OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS; AND PROVIDING FOR
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Ordinance No. 32 -94 at first reading.
Mr. Randels expressed concern over making changes to the Ordinance after the original
Ordinance was adopted less than two (2) months earlier. He stated that the Ordinance had yet
to become effective and Council should not respond to the objections of one (1) individual
complaint. Mr. Randels reiterated the two -fold objective of the ordinance which was to make
fire safety rules that would apply to buildings to ensure that businesses were following a uniform
code of fire safety at a cost of $50.00 per inspection and also to comply with State regulations
on fire safety. Mayor Salamone questioned why the Ordinance was being changed two (2)
months after it was originally adopted. Mr. Nicholas answered that Mr. Tim Grady had
objected to the ordinance because he had not been notified of the cost and because Mr. Grady
had paid for an occupational license and Mr. Grady had felt that the license should pay some
of the cost of the fire inspection fee. Mr. Nicholas further explained that small businesses were
being required to pay more and more fees and costs in order to do business. Mr. Randels asked
Council to postpone passage of the Ordinance until Council had an opportunity to review the
proposed budget. Mayor Salamone felt that the fee was fair and equitable.
Further discussion followed regarding the implementation and possible revision of fire inspection
and safety fees. Mr. Porter suggested using a fee of $35.00 as opposed to $50.00 for fire safety
inspections. Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Porter to table Ordinance No. 32-
94. Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tern
Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember, Nicholas, For; Councilmember
Randels, For.
5. Resolution No 94 -34 Authorizing an in -kind service agreement with Bay Construction.
Inc to construct improvements to Tower Boulevard
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting

Page 7
Mayor Salamone read the title of the Resolution.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY,
FLORIDA; AUTHORIZING THE PAYMENT OF IMPACT FEES IMPOSED BY SECTIONS
2 -231 THROUGH 2 -237 TO BE PAID BY IN -KIND CONTRIBUTIONS BY DISCOVERY
BAY DEVELOPMENT, INC., FOR THE PAVING OF APPROXIMATELY THREE
HUNDRED FORTY (340) FEET OF TOWER BOULEVARD; PROVIDING FOR
LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Resolution No. 94 -34. Mr. Randels
clarified that the intention of the developer was to pave a section of Tower Boulevard to permit
him access to his development; however, the road would have to built to City specifications and
the cost of the road, approximately $12,000, would be applied to the developer's impact fees
in the form of a credit. He further explained that the developer was willing to pave the road and
have his impact fees applied as he pulled his permits. Mr. Kancilia stated that the developer
would pay for the cost of the road and as units were built and impact fees would have been
payable, the developer would be credited for amounts already paid for paving against the
required impact fees. Mayor Salamone questioned Mr. Boucher as to which impact fees were
in discussion. Mr. Boucher explained that police, fire, parks, general government, and library
impact fees were involved.
Mr. Porter commented that years ago there had been an agreement between the City and Shuford
Mills, which Mr. Nicholas had signed as City Manager, which stated that if Shuford Mills
deeded the City the road right -of -way that the City would then pave the road. Mr. Boucher
stated that the paving funds were listed in the FY 95/96 capital improvement budget. Mr. Porter
questioned if the City had in fact signed a written agreement with Shuford Mills for the paving
of Tower Boulevard. Mayor Salamone responded affirmatively and stated that no date had been
set for the pavement of Tower Boulevard. Mr. Porter felt that the City had an obligation to
pave Tower Boulevard through its written agreement with Shuford Mills. Mayor Salamone
stated that the developer's proposal would only pave 340' of the roadway. She stated that she
was not comfortable with the idea of paving the entire roadway due to the limited of amount of
traffic on the road. Mr. Randels stated that previously there had been a strong concern of the
wastewater treatment plant employees over the damage caused to their vehicles due to the
condition of the northern section of Tower Boulevard. Mr. Bob Hoog stated that the Fire
Department used to buy fuel from the City for the fire trucks, but it had discontinued that
practice due to the condition of Tower Boulevard.
There was further discussion regarding the possibility of paving the entire length of Tower
Boulevard; the use of impact fees for the purposes so designated (library, parks, police, fire and
general government, etc.); concurrency management concerns; and the limited access to the front
of the Discovery Bay development by pavement of the 340' section of roadway. Mr. Nicholas
expressed his strong opposition to allowing the use of impact fees through the in -kind agreement
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
August 2, 1994
Page 8
and explained his reasons for same. Mr. Porter stated that he felt that Mr. Nicholas had a valid
point that the impact fees did have "names" on them such as library, parks, etc. He stated that
he did not understand Mr. Nicholas' other objections in light of Mr. Nicholas's signature on
behalf of the City on the Shuford Mills agreement. Mr. Nicholas stated that he still felt that the
City should pave Tower Boulevard; however, the City did not have the funds to pave the
roadway.
Mr. Boucher stated that he agreed that impact fees should be used for their stated purposes; but
the City had earmarked $15,000 to stabilize the east -west leg of Tower Boulevard in this year's
budget. He suggested if the City wanted to take the $15,000 and apply it toward construction
of the 340' portion of the roadway then let the developer pay the impact fees and allocate the
$15,000 for the stabilization of the roadway toward the construction of the 340' section of the
roadway. Mayor Salamone stated that it would appear that the City was paving the 340' section
only for the one developer. There was additional discussion regarding the entire Tower
Boulevard situation. Mr. Boucher suggested paving the entire roadway in accordance with the
FY 95/96 capital improvement budget after construction of the wastewater treatment plant
improvements to eliminate the possibility of damage to the new roadway by construction
vehicles.
Mr. Bob Hoog commented on the amount of gas tax revenue coming into the City and that
Tower Boulevard had been an issue for a number of years and he expressed his support of
moving forward with the pavement of Tower Boulevard. Mr. Randels distributed copies of
pertinent sections from the City's Code Book relating to impact fees. He expounded on the
purposes /uses of impact fees. Mr. Porter felt that the City should complete the road in two (2)
phases to deal with the sewer plant construction; first portion as quick as possible and the
remainder in FY 95/96.

94 -02 to the low bidder, Curtin Matheson Scientific, Inc., in the amount of $6,054 as
recommended by the Public Works Director. Mr. Boucher explained that the new system would
replace the water purification system purchased in 1986. Mr. Nicholas asked if the City
received an itemized breakdown from Fisher Scientific as it did from Curtin Matheson Scientific,
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida

8. Approval of contract for annual audit services - Hoyman & Dobson Inc
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Randels to approve the annual audit service
contract with Hoyman & Dobson, Inc. Mr. Nicholas stated that he wished to bid out the audit
services. He expressed that the service had not been bid out for 10 years and he wondered if
the City was receiving a reasonable rate. Mayor Salamone stated that bidding the services out
was not feasible at this time. She suggested that perhaps the contract could be bid out for FY
94/95. Mr. Randels questioned Ms. Janet Petroni of Hoyman & Dobson, Inc. if the cost
included drafting of the annual budget. She concurred that it did. Motion carried with members

Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
Mr. Porter explained that Mr. Jim Means had agreed to assist as a volunteer and help the City's
grant writer, Mr. Bill Edins, in search of private and federal grant funds. Mr. Means was
agreeable to not being appointed to the Commercial Development Board at this time. However,
Mr. Porter recommended that the City Council retain his application and if an opportunity
should arise for another position that he be approached again. Mr. Porter also commented that
Mr. Windhorst was very experienced and would be most beneficial to the Board, as well as, Ms.
Sale who had been a member of the Equity Study Commission and was a business owner in
Cape Canaveral.
12. City Manager's Report
Mr. Boucher commented that Ms. Ava Tunstall, appellate attorney for the City, had filed a brief
in the Abbott case, and he suggested that Council read the brief and he complimented Ms.
Tunstall on her work with the case to date.
Mr. Boucher stated he had spoken to Brevard County planning directors, Gary Ridenour and
Peggy Busaca, regarding the possibility of utilizing a County planner to assist with the City's
Local Planning Agency and the Commercial Development Board. The working relationship
between the City and the County looked favorable.
Mr. Boucher announced that the land acquisition of the 2.4 acres of property located north of

Mr. Boucher stated that he and Mr. Kancilia were working on a draft of a cable franchise

which had been agreeable to Mr. Vaughn.
Mr. Boucher reminded Council of the upcoming budget workshop meeting scheduled for
Monday, August 8th, at 5:30 p.m.
Mr. Boucher commented on the resolution from the Port Authority in response to the City's
resolution regarding termination of the sewage franchise agreement in the year 2000. Mr.
Berger suggested that every year the City send a friendly reminder letter to the Port reminding
them that their contract would be terminated in 2000. Mr. Nicholas added that the Port had
allocated $15,000 for engineering studies for its own plant.
Mr. Boucher announced that due to the City's Drug -Free Workplace Program the City was given
a credit on its workers' compensation insurance in the amount of $1,353.00.

2. Mr. Kancilia noted the litigation report given to Council of all legal cases. He reported on
the Abbott case and noted that under the rules of appellate procedure it was up to the court to
schedule oral argument; to date oral argument had not been scheduled. In the case of Royal
Mansions Condominium Association vs. the City, the hearing on the motion for summary
judgment which was originally scheduled for September 6th had been postponed until September
12th to accommodate the judge's schedule. Mr. Kancilia further summarized the status of the
Royal Mansions case.
Mr. Kancilia stated that in the case of American Bank of the South vs. Szapor the City was
actually a cross - claimant (third party claim). Mr. Szapor had included the City and other
defendants in a foreclosure suit against American Bank of the South. American Bank had filed

suit against Mr. Szapor for default on a loan and Mr. Szapor had dragged the City and other
parties into the suit alleging defects in the title. Mr. Kancilia did not believe that the City was
a proper party to the suit and the City had moved to dismiss the case as not being appropriate
against the City.

VEHICLES AND SPECIAL PURPOSE VEHICLES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY;
PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS; AND
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to adopt Ordinance No. 20 -94 at first public
hearing. Mr. Randels stated that he was concerned with the City relaxing the present standards
for the parking of boats and recreational vehicles. He stated that the proposed change included
in the Ordinance limited the restrictions to recreational vehicles in excess of 30', thus a vehicle
under 30' could park anywhere that was not specifically excluded.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to amend the Ordinance to delete the words
"in excess of thirty (30) feet in length" from Item (i) on page 3 of the Ordinance. Mr. Randels
stated that the Ordinance would then apply to all size recreational vehicles.
Mr. Kancilia summarized the previous discussions held by the Planning & Zoning Board and
Council regarding the 30' parking restrictions. He stated that the 30' restriction originally arose
because the Planning & Zoning Board had recommended an increase from the 21' to 30'
restriction. He explained that it was thought that in R -1 and R -2 zoning there would continue
to be the same requirement for covering or screening of such vehicles and that the dividing line
for covering was when the vehicle was in excess of 30' because vehicles under 30' were not
considered to be an eyesore. There was further discussion regarding the 30' length restriction
on the parking of recreational vehicles. Mr. Randels stated that the amendment to the Ordinance
would provide that the parking limitation would apply to all boats and recreational vehicles.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mayor Salamone to amend the Ordinance to add the words
"commercially registered vehicle" after "No for -hire vehicle" in Item (h), Page 3 of the
Ordinance.

Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Ordinance No. 26 -94 at first reading.
Mr. Porter questioned whether or not Lt. McGee would discuss the proposed referendum further
with Council. Mayor Salamone stated that she felt very comfortable going to the voters with
the question given the current and future budget requirements for police and fire. Mr. Randels
explained that he felt the voters needed to be adequately informed as to how the increased
millage funds were to be used. Mayor Salamone stated that it would be for two (2) additional
deputies. Mr. Randels questioned the success rates of bicycle patrols in smaller communities
such as Cape Canaveral. Lt. McGee responded that bicycle patrols were being used on Merritt
Island with good success; however, this was being done in low income areas where there were
a concentrated amount of people and it had helped tremendously in keeping unwanted persons
out of certain areas. The visibility aspect was important as well.
There was additional discussion between Lt. McGee and Council regarding the possibility of
utilizing bicycle patrols in Cape Canaveral and other policing needs within the community. Mr.
Berger questioned if the millage increases were to be fully explained in the City's newsletter.
Council supported moving up the schedule for the printing of the newsletter to allow information
regarding the referendum questions to be included in the newsletter prior to the November
election.

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Randels to adopt Ordinance No. 34 -94 at first
reading. Mr. Porter commented that he felt the matter would become a "political football ".
There was discussion regarding the proposed ballot wording and Mr. Kancilia explained the
reasons why the ballot summary needed to specify the actual nature of the change.
Mr. Porter expressed his concerns regarding the prohibition against allowing two (2) family
members to serve on two (2) separate City Boards that made recommendations to the City
Council. Mr. Kancilia stated that under the present Charter provisions on nepotism, the Council
could not appoint a relative of a Councilmember to any of its advisory boards. Under Florida
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida

Statutes, the Council could appoint a Councilmember's family member to an advisory board
provided that the particular Councilmember abstained from voting. Mr. Kancilia stated that by
adopting Florida Statutes, the Council could appoint a Councilmember's family member to an
advisory board provided that the Councilmember abstained; that same activity under the current
Charter provision would not be legal.

was passed, he did feel that some good came out of the entire matter by clearing up any
misconceptions. He stated that the City as a whole had been negatively affected by the entire

question, the firm that was engaged to sue the Army Corps of Engineers had filed pleadings
against the Port trying to get the easements. Mr. Boucher had spoken to Port Commissioner
McClouth who had requested the City's assistance in attempting to persuade the two (2) holdouts
to execute the easements. Mr. Randels stated that he was scheduled to meet with the Canaveral
Towers Condominium Association. Mr. Porter suggested sending a letter to Mr. Harris of
Gray, Harris, Robinson, Kirschenbaum & Peeples, requesting his support in obtaining the
easements. Council concurred to send the letter to Mr. Harris and to copy both holdouts with
the letter as well.
Mr. Boucher stated that Karen Andreas, Brevard County Commissioner, had given him a copy
of the Attorney General's opinion regarding the Snyder and Jennings lawsuits, which had been
distributed to Council. Mayor Salamone asked that the City Attorney's opinion on the same
subject also be sent to Commissioner Andreas.
DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Nicholas questioned if the Canaveral Cab Company was back in operation within the
City. Mr. Boucher responded that the company had applied for a license /permit. Mr. Nicholas
suggested that the City keep a close watch on the operations of the company within the City.
Mayor Salamone expressed her concerns regarding the particular cab company as well.
2. Mr. Nicholas stated that in the past he had asked about getting lots mowed at the
intersection of Magnolia and Adams Avenues. He stated that other lots had been mowed, but
not the two in question and he asked that something be done about the problem.
3. Mr. Nicholas mentioned that he was concerned about the potential for one day rentals in
Ocean Oaks and he had been assured by staff that a memo had been written to the owner
advising him that rentals of less than seven (7) days were prohibited. He stated that he had a
problem with the memo because it did not specifically outline the City's Code requirements.
He advocated that the instructions to the owner be specifically outlined and explicit about the
prohibition against rentals of less than seven (7) days.

1. Resolution No 94 -41 Adopting the Tentative Millage Rate for 1994.
Mayor Salamone read the Resolution in its entirety.
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE TENTATIVE MILLAGE RATE FOR THE LEVY OF AD
VALOREM TAXES FOR 1994 ON ALL TAXABLE PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE
CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to adopt Resolution No. 94 -41. Mayor
Salamone stated that she disagreed with raising the beautification and library millages for FY
94/95. She did not feel that the increases were warranted and she believed that the City should
revert back to the FY 93/94 millage rates (total of 1.3391 mills). The public hearing was
opened.
Mr. Dick McGhee, 541 Washington Avenue, stated that when the Beautification tax was first
approved by the voters he had been led to believe that the initial tax would be reduced once the
City was made "beautiful ". He questioned whether the beautification funds were becoming a
contingency fund. He spoke against tax increases in general. Mr. Randels explained that there
were plans underway for enlarging the scope of the beautification issue. Mr. Boucher showed
Mr. McGhee the outline of projects to be covered by the beautification tax. There was further
discussion regarding the use of the beautification millage and relevant projects.
Mr. Porter stated that the original concept of the referendum was not sold on a decreasing scale.
He explained that the City had a lengthy process underway toward more beautification projects,
specifically AIA and other areas in the City which needed an extensive amount of work toward
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Special City Council Meeting
September 12, 1994
Page 2
"beautification ". He advised that even with the increased beautification millage the ad valorem
taxes for FY 94/95 were lower than FY 93/94 (1.387 mill as compared to 1.4110 mill). Mr.
McGhee reiterated his objection to the increased beautification and library millages. Mayor
Salamone restated that she did not feel the increases were necessary in the upcoming fiscal year.
Mr. Berger commented that he felt it was necessary because the more the City invested in the
environment, the more the citizens would appreciate it. He supported using the funds for more
beautification projects in the upcoming fiscal year. There was discussion regarding the proposed
library millage increase as well (.0386 mill to .0425 mill).
Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Mr. Randels to amend Section 4 of Resolution No. 94 -41,
to reduce the storm drainage millage from .1821 mill to .1102 mill for FY 94/95.
Mr. Randels commented that the overall millage rate for the City (1.3870 mill) was lower than
the previous year.
Motion by Mayor Salamone to amend Sections 2 & 3 of the Resolution to change the
Beautification Dependent Special District millage from .4843 mill to .4403 mill and the Library
Dependent Special District millage from .0425 mill to .0386 mill. Motion died for lack of a
second.
The public hearing was closed as there were no additional comments from the public.

PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Randels to adopt Resolution No. 94 -42. Mayor
Salamone stated that because special revenue funds were included within the budget she had a
problem with the way the budget would be presented to the public.
Mr. Randels questioned the proposed $30,000 for a sludge dump truck in the capital
improvements portion of the budget. Mr. Boucher explained that the dump truck was not
recommended for funding. He stated that in the future the City may find it more cost effective
to purchase a dump truck rather than to continue sludge hauling by a contractor.
Mr. Randels also questioned why the extension of Ridgewood Avenue ($250,000) was still
shown on the Capital Improvements Five Year Plan. Mr. Boucher stated that this item was also
not funded and had only been included in the Five Year Plan because the extension was listed
in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Once the Comprehensive Plan was amended, the item
regarding Ridgewood Avenue extension would be removed from the Plan.
The public hearing was opened and closed as there were no further comments on the budget.

NEW BUSINESS:
2. Discussion & Motion Re: Library expansion site plan review.
Mr. Roy Cowell, Stottler Stagg & Associates, gave a brief background of the library expansion
project and two conceptual plans, A & B, which had been presented to City and County staff, the
Library Board, and the City Council. Council had requested that the architects review other
available alternatives for parking to allow a larger amount of greenspace to remain on the subject
property.
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular City Council Meeting
September 20, 1994
Page 2
Mr. Cowell presented three (3) alternative solutions, C, D & E, and explained the concepts, and the
positive and negative aspects of each. Concept C provided for the use of Poinsetta Avenue as a
parking lot, closing the access point at Polk Avenue, with major work to be done on the east side
of the property by removing sidewalks and relocating trees. Concept D provided that Poinsetta
would still be a thoroughfare, but it visually would not give the impression of a through street due
to landscaping. It would also utilize the City Hall Annex parking lot. Concept D would require
significantly more construction including relocation of the library sign and possible storm drains.
Concept E included several small parking sections and angle parking for the staff parking lot.
Mr. Cowell stated that the library staff and the Library Board remained supportive of Concept A due
to several reasons including that the facility would be a self - contained operation with everything
controlled by the library, and the facility would not impact any outside entities. He explained that
there would be a significant increase in the cost of the project if Poinsetta Avenue were closed or
reconstructed to allow vehicle parking within the right -of -way. The utilization of any of the concepts
which involved the use of Poinsetta Avenue would require changes to the scope of services under
which Stottler Stagg had been contracted along with additional expense. Mr. Cowell commented that
there were a limited amount of funds available within the County for all of the library expansion
projects.
Mr. Joe Bisley, Brevard County Director of Facility Construction, stated that there would be an
additional cost impact from design and construction standpoints and there were limited funds set aside
for the library project. He stated that if Poinsetta Avenue was developed as a parking area, the
County's choices would be to limit the scope of the project or to have the City share in some of the
expenses with the County. Mayor Salamone questioned if the County would be willing to continue
to finance their portion of the expansion if the City agreed to develop the parking facilities along
Poinsetta Avenue and how such a change in plans would affect the timeline of the project. Mr.
Bisley stated that the first step would be to identify the difference in expenses involved, share the
information with the local and County Library Boards and ultimately present it to the County
Commission. He stated that other safety concerns needed to be addressed. He stated that the
construction would be delayed approximately 60 days with such a change in the conceptual plans.
Mr. Nicholas suggested a compromise to include placing parking only in the northern part of the
addition on the east side near the entrance off of Polk Avenue and utilizing the parking across the
street near the annex for the required number of parking spaces for the expanded building. Such a
compromise would leave the southern half of the expansion site as greenspace. There was further
discussion regarding the required number of parking spaces, possible pedestrian problems, the
number of residents and visitors who use bikes or walk to their destinations within the City, and the
general accessibility, convenience, safety and liability of the library facility.
Mayor Salamone stated that the meeting room was not used often enough to justify the expanded
parking and she favored Concept D. Mr. Berger suggested changing the angle of the building. Mr.
Nicholas commented that he was adamantly against closing Poinsetta Avenue. Mayor Salamone
asserted that Orange and Ridgewood Avenues were available for north -south traffic and that closing
one block of traffic along Poinsetta would not be a problem. Discussion continued regarding
maintaining as much greenspace as possible.
Ms. Kathy Stewart, Brevard County, stated that historically when a library was expanded it was
1 /3rd more utilized which would mean additional parking needs. She stated that the circulation had

Combined Workshop & Regular City Council Meeting
September 20, 1994
Page 3
increased by 20% each month within the area and she disagreed that the parking was adequate for
the library as it currently existed. She commented that a library of the proposed size usually require
45 -70 parking spaces.
Discussion continued regarding traffic flow and pedestrian and vehicular traffic to the library. Mr.
Harry Ernst, Library Board member, questioned if there were figures available on how much the
open area near the library was used for recreational purposes. Mayor Salamone stated that no
established figures were available, but that the children did use the area consistently and she would
hate to see another concrete jungle in the area.
Mr. Kancilia left the meeting at this time; Mr. Kevin Markey, Assistant City Attorney, took his
place at the meeting.
Mayor Salamone stated that a viable compromise would be to allow the City to take back one lot east
of the facility to increase the greenspace area. She summarized the compromise by explaining that
Poinsetta Avenue would remain open, 68 parking spaces would be located on the site, the building
would remain as depicted on Concept A, and half of the requested greenspace (one lot) would be
returned to the City. Council concurred with the suggested compromise. Mr. Cowley stated that
he would provide revised site sketches to the City Manager. Mrs. Stewart advised that she would
agree with Mayor Salamone's recommendation and that overflow parking would be located across
the street from the library near the City Hall annex.
After a ten - minute break, the meeting was reconvened.

9. Resolution No. 94 -47. Authorizing an agreement with the Brevard County Sheriff's
Department to provide municipal police services for FY 94/95
Mayor Salamone read the title of the Resolution.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA;
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND THE CITY CLERK TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT
WITH THE BREVARD COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE MUNICIPAL
POLICE SERVICES TO THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger for approval of Resolution No. 94 -47. Mr.
Boucher explained the changes included in the contract. He stated that Page 13, Paragraph 17,
Telecommunications included a provision to place the City on notice that as of October 1, 1995, the
Sheriff's Department would be charging the City for dispatch services. Mr. Boucher stated that he
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular City Council Meeting
September 20, 1994
Page 7
objected to the provision since there were two (2) other municipalities that received the same type
of service that the City received and that Palm Bay had questioned why three (3) cities received
special treatment. Mr. Boucher commented that Cape Canaveral had a separate agreement with the
Sheriff's Department and that Palm Bay received their 911 fees for dispatch and that Cape
Canaveral's 911 fees went to the County. Mayor Salamone questioned why the provision was
included in the contract rather than sent to the City in a letter format.
Mr. Curt Jones, Brevard County Sheriffs Dept., stated that it would not be a problem to remove
the subject clause from the contract. Mr. Jones stated that some analysis could he completed to
identify applicable 911 funds as needed. He stated that .23 cents of the .50 cents charged for 911
services went to Southern Bell in direct support of the 911 equipment and lines; the balance of the
funds were spent on capital needs for the cities and for improvements to the overall equipment.
Mayor Salamone asked that the letter include figures applicable to the anticipated cost of dispatch
services.
Mr. Randels addressed his concern regarding the proposed deletion of the following text: "Deputies
shall possess a minimum of one year's law enforcement experience prior to assignments to duty
within the City". Commander Vernon Weekley stated that in the early days there were only two (2)
deputies working at the precinct and at that time the provision for deputies with more than one year's
experience was absolutely necessary. He stated that since 1978, the department had grown from six
(6) members to a 17- member department. He explained that he was not proposing transferring all
of the recruits to the Cape Canaveral precinct. Mr. Nicholas voiced his objections to the proposal
due to the amount of funds paid to the Sheriffs Department for police protection. He stated that the
City had agreed to a contract with the Sheriff's Department in order to have the best possible police
protection available.
Lt. McGee stated that deputies could not leave the Cape Canaveral precinct unless they left the
employment of the Sheriff or unless reassigned by the Sheriff after notification to the City Manager.
There was further discussion regarding the subject provision in the proposed contract. Mr. Jones
explained that there was a cost benefit to having a mixture of people with a mixed amount of tenure
and experience. Mayor Salamone questioned if the Sheriffs Department would agree to allow not
more one (1) trainee at any given time at the Cape Canaveral precinct.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to add language to the contract to provide that
the Cape Canaveral precinct would have no more than one (1) trainee at any given time. Mayor
Salamone stated that the contract price of $970,570 was lower than the FY 93/94 price of $981,800.
Mr. Nicholas questioned the deletion of the crossing guard section in the contract. Mr. Boucher
advised that Brevard County's Public Safety Department was responsible for all of the crossing
guards throughout the County who were not employed by the individual municipalities. The County
provided the necessary crossing guard training and certification. Lt. McGee stated that the deputies
would cover the school zones and would cover for the crossing guards if there was a sickness or an
emergency situation; but they would not be responsible for actual training of the guards.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Randels to amend the contract to delete paragraph 17.
Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Councilmember Berger,

11. Discussion & Motion Re: Bid No. 94 -03, Tower Boulevard Stabilization Project.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Randels to approve Bid No. 94 -03. Mr. Boucher
explained that the bid had been advertised to stabilize Tower Boulevard and during the bid process
Council had changed the scope of the project to pave 340' of Tower Boulevard. He stated that the
bids received were in excess of the verbal quotes received previously. Mr. Boucher recommended
that Council reject the bid to stabilize the roadway and a new bid would be let to pave the subject
roadway section. He advised that he had given Mr. Tezel a schedule for the project and that staff
had reviewed the plans and they were awaiting a response from the St. Johns River Water
Management District for a permit modification.
Mr. Ali Tezel questioned if he could do anything to expedite the permitting process. He offered to
contact St. Johns directly. Mayor Salamone stated that staff was expecting approval from St. Johns
by October 13, 1994, and she asked Mr. Boucher to contact St. Johns and verify the status of the
permit modification. Motion failed with members voting as follows:

Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Randels to re- advertise for legal services. Mayor
Salamone stated that she did not believe that Council had enough of a selection for legal services and
she felt that the advertising was not adequate. She stated that she would like to have more firms
available for consideration. Mr. Berger stated that there were not many law firms available with
municipal experience and he felt that the two (2) firms that applied were qualified. Motion failed

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger to contract with Mr. Kohn Bennett of the firm
of Amari, Theriac & Eisenmenger to provide legal services for the next year. Mayor Salamone
stated that Mr. Bennett worked for a firm that had previously worked for the City and the firm had
resigned. She stated that she did not have any faith in the firm or the way the City was treated and
she did not feel that the firm would be a good choice for the City. Mr. Nicholas stated that Mr.
Bennett had been the City Attorney for the Planning & Zoning Board and the Board of Adjustment.
Mayor Salamone reiterated her feelings against the firm of Amari, Theriac and stated that
Councilmembers had problems with some of the firm's decisions and that their record with the City
was not good. She stated that the furs was not in the City's best interests and she would not support
the firm. Mr. Berger stated that he had personal experience with the Amari, Theriac firm and felt
that they were well qualified.
Mrs. Ann Thurm spoke in favor of the firm of Amari, Theriac and she stated that she felt anyone
could make a mistake and she did not hold the mistake against the firm. She recommended Mr.
Bennett as the City Attorney as she felt he was most cooperative and capable. Mrs. Thurm stated
that the firm had resigned under pressure. Motion failed with members voting as follows:

current contract with Reinman, Harrell expired on September 30, 1994, and he would proceed to
make provisions to hire Mr. Kancilia or Mr. Markey on a temporary basis. Mayor Salamone stated
that Mr. Kancilia had agreed to continue until a lawyer was hired and Mr. Boucher concurred.

3. Discussion & Motion Re: Route selection for reuse system.
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular City Council Meeting
September 20, 1994
Page 10
Mr. Boucher gave a brief background on the proposed reuse system. He stated that he needed
direction from Council as to which phases of the project were to be completed initially and which
alternate route was to be selected for Phase I (main line along AlA or Poinsetta Avenue). Mr.
Nicholas questioned how much it would cost to complete the entire reuse system throughout the City
and Mr. Gary ReVoir, Hartman & Associates, responded that the full project would cost $2.8
million. There was extensive discussion regarding the following: whether the entire project should
be completed collectively or in phases, viability of installing all of the infrastructure for the system
at one time, funds available in wastewater reserve accounts, potential to have capacity shortfalls,
maintenance expenses for reuse lines that may not be utilized for a number of years, available
capacity if the Port builds its own plant and terminates its agreement with the City in the year 2000,
and the City's current interlocal agreement with Cocoa Beach for 750,000 gpd of reuse water.
Discussion continued regarding whether or not final engineering costs for the entire reuse system
were included in the current contract with Hartman & Associates. It was determined that the final
engineering costs were included within the total estimated $2.8 million cost of the complete project,
but Hartman & Associates were not designated as the engineers to complete final engineering work
for the entire project.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to put in the infrastructure necessary to
complete the entire reuse system as presented. Mr. Nicholas stated that the City could extend its
contract with Hartman & Associates to provide the engineering and design for the entire reuse
system. Mr. Berger commented that the main trunk line would run on the west side of AIA. Mayor
Salamone and Mr. Nicholas concurred with the location of the main trunk line if the City was
constructing the entire reuse system throughout the City. Mr. Randels stated that the City would be
installing a great quantity of pipes with a possibility of only 20% resident participation. Motion

Page 12
terms to expire on October 1, 1996. Mr. Markey stated that Council could not reappoint Marilyn
Rigerman to the Board under the current nepotism provisions of the City Charter. Mrs. Marilyn
Rigerman stated that she believed the current law was in conflict with Florida Statutes and that since
it was in conflict it could be set aside and the resolution approved. She explained that the Zoning
Board of Adjustment was an important quasi-judicial board and that there was a short supply of
experienced members to serve on the Board. Mayor Salamone stated that Council agreed with Mrs.
Rigerman, but she would have to follow the City Attorney's opinion on the matter. Mr. Markey
stated that the Council would be voting in contrivance of its own law if it voted in favor of the
appointment.
Mrs. Ann Thurm commented on the Galbraith case decision which allowed that a Councilmember's
spouse could serve on boards without any conflict if the spouse abstained on the vote to appoint
his/her spouse to a board. She asserted that the City Charter amendment was invalid because it was
in conflict with State law.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to amend Section 1 of the Resolution to allow
that only Robert Laws be reappointed as a regular member of the Zoning Board of Adjustment with
a term to expire on October 1, 1996. Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor
Salamone, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember
Randels, For.
Motion failed on the main motion with members voting as follows:

Mr. Berger asked for more research on the matter from the City Attorney. Mr. Nicholas stated that
as of October 1, 1994, the Board would be missing two (2) members and any decision made by the
Board required four (4) positive votes. Mrs. Rigerman stated that if the Charter provision was not
changed by the referendum that she would challenge the provision and prevail and that the City
would end up paying the associated legal costs. She encouraged everyone to vote affirmatively for

12. Discussion & Motion Re: Councilmember vacant
Mayor Salamone stated that the City had received a Division of Elections opinion and an opposite
opinion from the City Attorney regarding the Councilmember vacancy. She explained that Council
had decided that it had allowed Mr. Kancilia to request an opinion from the Florida Division of
Elections and that it would abide by their decision. Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr.
Randels to abide by the Division of Elections opinion. Mr. Nicholas asked for clarification on the
motion and Mayor Salamone stated that the motion provided that "Council appoints ".
Mrs. Thurm stated that similar situations had occurred in 1976, 1979, and 1984 and every time the
replacements were appointed and she felt that the laws were very clear. She did not understand why
the matter had been questioned and that the City had always followed the Charter and the Election
Code. Mr. Markey summarized that Mr. Kancilia's opinion was based upon a Florida Supreme
Court case that stated the opposite of the Division of Elections' opinion.
Mr. Spike Schryer stated that he was upset about Council's action because the City had notified or
solicited that there would be an election for the Councilmember position. Mayor Salamone stated
that there was a disclaimer in the notice. Mr. Schryer stated that he felt the City was in the wrong
because it was preventing the people from making the choice and he would look further into the
matter.
Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Councilmember Berger,
For; Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.

Resolution No. 94 -49, Adopting Final Millage Rate for 1994.
Mayor Salamone read the Resolution in its entirety.
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A MILLAGE RATE FOR THE LEVY OF AD VALOREM
TAXES FOR 1994 ON ALL TAXABLE PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF
CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Resolution No. 94 -49. Mayor
Salamone stated that she felt that the City should go back to last year's tax rates for the
Beautification and Library millages as she did not see a reason to increase either tax. Mr. Porter
agreed with the reduction in the proposed library tax, but he felt more discussion was needed
on the Beautification portion of the budget. Mr. Porter stated that overall, regardless of the
increases in the Beautification and Library millages, there would still be a net reduction in taxes
in the City (1.4110 mills to 1.3870 mills). Mayor Salamone questioned what projects were
planned for the increased Beautification millage. The increased Beautification millage would net
the City approximately $14,000. The public hearing was opened.
Mr. Dick McGhee, 541 Washington Avenue, objected to the proposed Beautification and Library
millages and added that he disagreed with increased millage rates without justification. Mr. Bill
Sweet agreed with Mayor Salamone in that the Beautification and Library millages should not
be increased. Mr. Sweet spoke favorably regarding the City's police and fire services and that
possibly those tax rates should be increased. He also commented that the City employees were
excellent. Mayor Salamone advised that referendums to increase the police and fire millages
from .50 to 1.0 mill for police and from .25 to .50 mill for fire were being placed on the
November election ballot and the voters would have the right to decide whether or not the
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Special City Council Meeting
September 26, 1994
Page 2
millages should be increased.
Mr. Bob Hoog spoke against increasing the Beautification and Library millages and commented
that there was $46,000 in the Beautification contingency budget. He questioned why the taxes
were proposed to be increased with no planned projects in place. Mrs. Francis Singer,
Beautification Board Chairman, explained that there were two (2) planned programs - 1) planting
of trees on the presidential streets /regreening of Cape Canaveral; and 2) xeriscape park to be
located across from the Recreation Center. Mayor Salamone stated that both projects were
already included within the budget.
Mr. Porter stated that the AlA corridor needed substantial beautification improvements. He
expressed that City funds could be doubled through the use of grants for specific beautification
projects and that funds were available through several types of grants, but most grants required
matching funds. He mentioned that $26,000 of beautification funds were doubled through a
grant ($52,000) for the tree planting project. He stated that maybe the Beautification tax did not
need to be increased during the next fiscal year, but he also advocated putting more time and
effort into preparing plans for specific projects in the next year. Specific projects for
improvements to the community would help to gain residents' support for a potential increase
to the Beautification tax next year. Mr. Porter stated that it was critical for the City to move
toward the future with needed improvements. Mayor Salamone commented that she did not
resent any funds that had been spent on Beautification in the past. She supported lowering the
tax in the years when it was not needed and raising it in the years that there were projects that
warranted the increased tax.
Mr. Berger stated that there were several Beautification projects being contemplated such as
entrance signs to both entrances along AIA. He stated that the overall taxes were not increasing
and the more beautiful the City became then the more valuable it became to its residents. He
felt that the increased millages were justified. Mr. McGhee spoke against placing more funds
in the Beautification contingency fund. Mayor Salamone reiterated that planned projects were
needed.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Porter to amend the main motion to go back to
last year's millage rate for Beautification (.4403) and Library (.0386) taxes. Mr. Sweet
commented on the conditions in the area along AIA in between Cocoa Beach and the City
(Avon -by- the -Sea). Mayor Salamone explained the goals and objectives of the Commercial
Development Board and the Local Government Cooperative Committee. Mr. Porter suggested
that the Beautification Board prepare an actual plan to include goals to be accomplished over the
next few years and place it into the City's Five Year Capital Improvement Plan.
Mr. William Gleckner, Beautification Boardmember, questioned several line items included in
the Beautification budget. Ms. Deborah Haggerty, City Treasurer, explained the forecasting of
estimate revenues and expenditures, the proposed decrease in the Beautification and Library
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Special City Council Meeting
September 26, 1994
Page 3
millage rates, the annual City millage (tax) paid by an average homeowner in Cape Canaveral,
and that the overall tax liability of a Cape Canaveral homeowner would be lower than the
previous year.
Mayor Salamone read Resolution No. 94 -49 in its entirety due to the proposed amendment.
Section 1 of the amended Resolution now read: "The total millage for all City operating
purposes is fixed at 1.34 mills on the dollar of taxable value for the 1994 -95 fiscal year of the
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida. This millage is a 1.58% increase from the rolled back rate."
The Beautification millage rate in Section 2 was changed from .4843 mill to .4403 mill, and the
Library millage rate in Section 3 was changed from .0425 mill to .0386 mill. Mr. Porter
explained that he had re- evaluated his stance on the previously proposed millage increase and
that it was reasonable to expect a more aggressive plan for the future of beautification projects.
The public hearing was closed as there were no additional comments from the public. Motion
carried on the amended Resolution with members voting as follows:

Councilmember Randels, For.
2. Resolution No 94 -47 Authorizing an agreement with the Brevard County Sheriff's
Department to provide municipal police services for FY 94/95.
Mayor Salamone read the title of the Resolution.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY,
FLORIDA; AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND THE CITY CLERK TO ENTER INTO AN
AGREEMENT WITH THE BREVARD COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE
MUNICIPAL POLICE SERVICES TO THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA;
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to adopt Resolution No. 94 -47 for the level
of service specified in the contract in the amount of $970,570. Mr. Boucher stated that the
Sheriff s Department had provided a revised contract to him immediately prior to the start of the
meeting. He explained that the revised contract provided that: "The Sheriff further agrees that
there will not be more than one deputy assigned to Cape Canaveral at a time with less than one
(1) year of experience ". Mr. Randels stated that "not more than one (1) trainee at a time" meant
that Cape Canaveral could have a training position continuously. He wanted to also provide that
the trainee would be in addition to the regular deputies. Mr. Nicholas stated that he understood
that one (1) of the 17 deputies assigned to Cape Canaveral would be a trainee. Lt. George
McGee, Cape Canaveral Precinct, explained that the training phase was 12 -18 weeks, once
certified the officer was placed in a patrol vehicle alone. He further explained the training
program and he commented that in the event that the Cape Canaveral precinct did have an
opening then they would only be allowed to have one (1) person who had completed the training
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
October 4, 1994
Page 3
phase who could be assigned to the Cape Canaveral precinct for a one (1) year period of time.
Mr. Porter stated that he could agree to allowing only one (1) person with less than one (1)
year's experience who would be assigned to Cape Canaveral for at least a one (1) year period.
Mr. Nicholas felt that the wording in the contract would allow a continuous training program
during the term of the contract and he did not feel that Cape Canaveral should be a training
ground for the Sheriff's Department. He advocated limiting the provision to allow one (1)
trainee only for the term of the contract. Mr. Potter, Interim City Attorney, suggested the
following change to the language: "During the term of this contract only one (1) deputy with
less than one (1) year's experience shall be assigned to duties in Cape Canaveral."
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Randels to amend the contract to include the wording
in the contract as suggested by the City Attorney. Mayor Salamone questioned why Council did
not want trainees in Cape Canaveral. Mr. Nicholas stated that the City was paying for fully
experienced deputies to be on duty at all times and he spoke against allowing the precinct to
become a training ground for all deputies. Mayor Salamone stated that the Council had
previously agreed to the language which included the words "at a rime" at an earlier workshop
meeting. She stated that she did not have any problem with the language as presented in the
agreement. There was further discussion regarding the amendment and the issue of having
deputies with less than one (1) year's experience stationed in Cape Canaveral.
Lt. McGee stated that if the proposed amendment was approved he would have to obtain
approval from the Sheriff Department's administration. Mr. Porter commented that only one
(1) trainee would be allowed in Cape Canaveral and that the person would be assigned to Cape
Canaveral for one (1) full year; Lt. McGee agreed with Mr. Porter's interpretation. Motion

4. Motion Re: Contract amendment with Hartman & Associates for reuse system design of
Phases 2 & 3.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to approve Authorization No. 3 with
Hartman & Associates for the reuse system design for Phases 2 and 3 at a cost of $101,645.
Mr. Boucher advised that the public hearing for the wastewater reuse system improvements and
the State Revolving Loan funding was scheduled for November 1, 1994. Mr. Nicholas stated
that he would have liked to have more time to review the contract.
Mr. Randels spoke against the motion and he explained his reasons for same including that there
was no data available regarding how much reuse water would be used in Phase 1, no data on
how much water would be available for Phases 2 and 3, the possibility that the Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) may revoke the City's continuous wet weather discharge permit
if the City indicated that it would be utilizing all of the water for irrigation (reuse), borrowing
additional funds would cause an increase in the sewer rates for all residents, and that the City's
engineers recommended that Phase 2 & 3 be completed at later dates as the water became
available.
Mr. Nicholas stated that the contract before the Council was for the design only of Phases 2 and
3. He advocated having the full design done as one project, not piecemeal. Mr. Porter stated
that between the design and actual construction of the system many things could change that
would impact the system. Mayor Salamone commented that the rate analysis showed that
through the year 1997, it would mean an additional cost to the residents of $6.92 per year. She
stated that in 1997, the residential sewage charge would be $17.79 and currently the statewide
average was $20.94. She strongly supported designing the entire reuse system. There was a
general discussion regarding the wet weather discharge permit and the reuse system in general.
Mr. Nicholas questioned the $50,000 survey cost. Mr. Gary ReVoir, Hartman & Associates,
stated that the surveys would be completed first and foremost, everything would be based on the
existing conditions, and a lack of surveying would decrease the total quality of the design
process. He explained that there were some concessions that could be done to slightly reduce
the survey cost. Mayor Salamone stated that Authorization No. 3 included a "not to exceed

$101,645" clause.

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger to approve the interlocal agreement with
Brevard County for Local Planning Assistance Program to be at a rate of $20.62 per hour to
formulate the City's Comprehensive Plan update. Mr. Randels advocated that the Council
should have the ability to monitor the program and he asked for monthly progress statements.

program in conjunction with the library expansion, and whether or not any decisions to use
pieces of art or stained glass windows should be made in time to advise the architects before
construction began. Mr. Joe Bisley, Brevard County Director of Facility Construction, stated
that the County Commissioners had already reviewed the Art in Public Places Program and their
direction had been that the County would incorporate the funds that it could to allow for the
project within the design, such as opportunities to display artwork by adding lighting equipment
or providing alcoves to display art. There were no dedicated funds to purchase paintings or
pieces of sculpture. Mr. Starmer explained that there were several ways to incorporate art into
the facility. He stated that within the lobby area there would be a large open corridor that could
be utilized to display artwork.
Mr. Bisley stated that the next step in the process would be to meet with the Art in Public Places
committee to review the overall library expansion design to explore ideas for the inclusion of
artwork in the library. The focus of the Commission had been to have a program for rotating
artwork throughout the public facilities in Brevard County.
Resident questioned the amount of additional space to be added to the library; Mr. Starmer
stated that the addition encompassed 6,000 sq. ft. and the existing building was slightly less than
9,000 sq. ft. Mr. Starmer stated that another public meeting would be held in late November
and the site plan documents would be available for public inspection at the library.
After a ten- minute break, the meeting reconvened.

Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Mayor Salamone to adopt Ordinance No. 38 -94 at first
reading. Mr. Boucher stated that included in the agenda packet was the second revision to the
franchise agreement, subsequently there had been changes presented by Time Warner that were
included in the agenda packet as a separate document. He had come to a resolution with Time
Warner on most of the outlined changes. He stated that there were three (3) issues that still
needed to be decided including: 1) term of the agreement (10 or 15 years); 2) amount of the
surety bond ($10,000 or $50,000); and 3) inclusion of the FCC standards in the agreement or
incorporate some of the standards that were in the original draft of the agreement.
Mayor Salamone supported a 15 -year agreement. Mr. Porter did not feel that a 15 -year
agreement was necessary. Mr. Berger commented that ten (10) years may even be too long for
the agreement. Mayor Salamone stated that since the agreement was non - exclusive and Time
Warner would be spending significant funds in infrastructure and hardware it warranted a 15-
year agreement. Mr. Nicholas agreed that 15 years was possibly too long. Ms. Diane Pickett,
Time Warner, stated that Brevard County's franchise agreement with Time Warner was for 15
years and the other agreements with municipalities within the County were for 15 years as well.
She stated that there were no limitations in the agreement against improved technology. She
commented on the company's five -year plan to upgrade the system and Time Warner's track

Combined City Council Workshop & Regular Meeting

record as a leader in the cable television industry.
Mr. Boucher stated that Florida League of Cities had sent him three (3) examples of franchise
agreements that had been negotiated after the 1992 cable legislation including Bellair Park (10
years), Gulfbreeze (8 years) and Pembrook Pines (10 years). He felt the agreements reflected
the current trend for agreements of ten (10) years or less. He stated that the proposed agreement
did not include any mandated upgrades to the system; any upgrades would be at the discretion
of Time Warner.
Mayor Salamone had asked for an opener clause in the contract for the amount of the franchise
fees to allow the 3% franchise fee to be increased at a later date if needed. Ms. Pickett stated
that the provision allowed for 90 days notice at any time during the length of the agreement to
change the amount of the franchise fee.
Ms. Pickett stated that the agreement was non - exclusive and the company hoped that there would
be opportunities to bring other services into the City. She briefly explained the situation with
the Titusville cable franchise which had been owned by TCI and Time Warner had taken over
the franchise during a corporate trade.
Mrs. Mary Winchester suggested allowing only a five (5) year agreement. Mr. Irving Krause
questioned how many cable franchises operated within Cape Canaveral; Mayor Salamone
answered that at present there was only one (1) cable company operating a franchise within Cape
Canaveral. Mr. Frances Kuhn, 102 E. Central Boulevard, commented that he had recently
moved from Titusville and he strongly favored the TCI cable system over the Time Warner
system and he advocated a short franchise agreement.
Mr. Boucher questioned if Council felt that a $10,000 surety bond offered the City adequate
protection of its interests. He stated that the surety bond needed to protect against non - payment
of franchise fees or removal of facilities within the public right -of -way. He stated that the trend
for surety bonds in other agreements had been $50,000 - 100,000. There was further discussion
regarding the amount of the surety bond.
Mr. Porter stated that Council needed to negotiate the best deal possible for Cape Canaveral
citizens and he supported a ten (10) year agreement. Mr. Nicholas mentioned the sewer
franchise agreement with the Port which had appeared to be a good agreement at the time of
negotiation and as time progressed, things had changed and the agreement was no longer as
adequate as it had been originally and he also supported a ten (10) year agreement with Time
Warner.
Mayor Salamone stated that she would not agree to the contract that evening because it had not
been presented to Council in final format. She questioned whether Council was satisfied with
the FCC standards as written. Mayor Salamone was in full agreement of utilizing the FCC
standards in the agreement rather than the performance standards that were included in the
original draft agreement. Mr. Boucher stated that he had received an opinion from Florida
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined City Council Workshop & Regular Meeting
October 18, 1994
Page 5
League of Cities (FLOC) on customer service standards and he distributed copies of the opinion
to Council and Ms. Pickett. Mr. Randels stated that the opinion stated that FCC standards were
minimum, not maximum standards. Ms. Pickett asserted that the FCC standards were very strict
and quite thorough and her company did not have problems with customer service or quality
standards. Mr. Berger commented that he had two (2) very unpleasant experiences with Time
Warner which were related to customer service. Mr. Porter stated that the FLOC opinion
showed that adoption of the FCC standards alone did not create an enforcement mechanism. He
stated that the City could adopt the FCC guidelines, but it should also include a mechanism to
enforce the guidelines. Discussion followed regarding the guidelines and the associated
enforcement mechanisms.
Mr. Nicholas questioned if the franchise agreement allowed the City the option to purchase the
cable system. Mr. Boucher stated that only in the case that Time Warner did not renew the
franchise agreement would the City have the option to purchase the system. Mr. Nicholas stated
that the same option that had been in the old agreement should be included in the new franchise
agreement. Ms. Pickett stated that the federal law regulated cable and that the franchise could
be terminated only under specific federal guidelines.
Mr. Boucher summarized the direction given by Council regarding the franchise agreement
including: 1) Council concurred with a ten (10) year term of agreement; 2) Surety bond -Mr.
Berger and Mr. Porter - $50,000 surety bond, Mayor Salamone - $10,000 surety bond; Ms.
Pickett suggested that since the franchise fees were $33,000, that the bond be $30,000 - Council
concurred with Ms. Pickett's suggestion; and 3) Inclusion of the FCC standards and Council
wanted to further review the language suggested in the original draft agreement. Mr. Boucher
stated that he had recommended that there be reporting requirements for customer standards
including the availability to review three (3) years worth of complaint records. There was
extensive discussion regarding the FCC standards, reporting requirements, settlement of
disputes, and customer performance standards. Ms. Pickett explained Time Warner's complaint
system and the computer process used by the company to change customer records, enter new
records, and schedule service calls, etc. Mr. Randels gave several examples of other franchise
agreements involving the City whereby the City received monthly activity reports of
complaints /concerns. Ms. Pickett stated that only written complaints were kept on file and that
there were no data printouts available of complaint records. She explained that Cable Data
Services prepared all the bills for Time Warner customers. Mr. Porter stated that some
technical advise was needed from Time Warner's data processing individuals regarding the
availability of data relative to complaints.
Mr. Tim Grady stated that there should be a way to access complaint data from Time Warner's
computer system and he felt that the City should have access to the information which would
prove beneficial to the City. Mayor Salamone spoke against the City managing the cable
business and that the City should not be inundated with another business's problems. Mr.
Nicholas asked that the City Manager pursue the matter further as he was interested in having
access to complaint records to allow the City some ability to monitor the amount of complaints
received. Mr. Boucher summarized that four (4) members of Council were looking for ways
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined City Council Workshop & Regular Meeting
October 18, 1994
Page 6
to monitor the complaints for accountability purposes. Mr. Porter stated that the City received
a 3% franchise fee and that the City should add some value to that money and ensure that the
citizens were protected.
Mrs. Mary Winchester commented on several service glitches she had encountered with Time
Warner. Mr. Nicholas questioned if there were any provisions in the franchise agreement for
legislative changes regarding the control or operation of cable television. Mr. Boucher
commented that Section 25 dealt with re- regulation.
Mr. Porter clarified that if the ordinance failed that evening, then the ordinance died; but if the
ordinance was approved at first reading, it could be amended at the next workshop for second
reading. Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro
Tem. Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember
Randels, For.

PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES; AND PROVIDING FOR
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Ordinance No. 37 -94 at first reading.
Mr. Randels stated that out of the three (3) proposals presented, he favored Option No. 2 which
allowed for one (1) workshop and one (1) regular meeting at the beginning of the month and one
(1) combined workshop and regular meeting during the later part of the month. Mr. Nicholas
questioned why any changes to the number of meetings was necessary and he felt that Council
was limited in a constrained atmosphere during the combined meetings. Mayor Salamone stated
that during workshop meetings Council had time to fully discuss an issue, go home and think
it over, and come back ready to make a decision at the regular meeting. She felt it was in the
citizen's best interests that Council have time to argue and disagree in one session and have time
to think about the arguments before voting on issues.
Mr. Nicholas advocated continuing with the two (2) workshop meetings per month. Mr. Berger
felt that items could be staggered to allow for discussion at the beginning of the meeting. He
stated that 62 meetings per year were too many. Mr. Nicholas commented that he went to all
City Board meetings. Mr. Berger supported eliminating the workshop meetings as a way to
eliminate repetitiveness. Mayor Salamone stated that the meetings were an important part of
small City government and that citizens should have time to have a say in how the government
operated.
Mr. Berger stated that on the survey there was only one city which met more than Cape
Canaveral and that was Cocoa Beach. Mr. Randels stated that the Cocoa Beach Commission
had recently voted to eliminate workshop sessions. Mr. Berger expressed that Council and the
City could run more efficiently than 62 meetings per year. He stated Councilmembers spent
many hours of research time beyond the actual meeting time.
Mr. Porter supported continuing on with the experiment of eliminating one (1) workshop
meeting per month. Mr. Berger agreed with continuing with the experiment as well. Mr.
Nicholas described items that disturbed him regarding the current method of operations such as
time limits to bring up items at meetings when the meetings concluded at 10:00 p.m., and then
if he held the items to the next meeting the next meeting may be canceled. Mr. Randels stated
that he sometimes felt that Council rushed through the agenda and there was insufficient time
to bring up personal items.

Mr. Porter suggested starting the meetings at 6:30 p.m. to allow time to share ideas among
Council or Mr. Berger suggested holding a one (1) hour workshop prior to the regular meeting.
Mr. Nicholas stated that with the upcoming election there would be at least one (1) new
individual on Council and he suggested that the issue be revisited after the election; Council
concurred.

Page 10
he was seriously thinking of returning to Titusville or Merritt Island. He spoke against paying
for services that he was not receiving such as vacant apartments being charged for sewer and
garbage charges. He stated that the City had the opportunity to determine if apartments or
buildings were vacant. Mr. Kuhn spoke at length regarding his concerns regarding City
operations, specifically the sewer /garbage collection charges. He advised that he would be
placing his property on the market for sale and moving out of the area.
DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Potter summarized the status of the City of Cape Canaveral vs. Royal Mansions lawsuit
by explaining that there had been a hearing before Judge Evander earlier in October and Judge
Evander found that the City ordinance which prohibited daily rentals was valid. Judge Evander
also made a factual determination that the units in the past had been rented for periods of less
than one (1) week. Mr. Potter felt that Judge Evander's rulings had significantly improved the
City's position and the case had been noticed for trial shortly after the first of the year.
2. Mr. Nicholas commented that the City had received a notice of a recent Brevard County
Commission meeting which included an item whereby several beachside communities were being
classified with an urban County designation. He questioned the benefits of such a designation
and whether or not the City should be interested in same.
3. Mr. Porter mentioned the benefits of debating issues publicly.

Dedicated Revenue requirements for the wastewater /reuse project.
Mr. Gary ReVoir, Hartman & Associates, stated that the information presented in the Facilities
Plan was consistent with the City of Cape Canaveral's Comprehensive Plan. He stated that the
Facilities Plan was developed to support the State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan application. He
commented that in the preparation of the Plan, including the Capital Financing Plan, there were
various documents used to support and develop the Plan (listed on References attachment). Mr.
ReVoir proceeded to explain in detail each of the following items (also shown on overhead
projector to the audience):
• Cape Canaveral service area map showing entire City limits and the Port
Canaveral area;
• Existing Land Use acreages table and map, including developed and vacant acres;
• Statistics: Climate - Moderate

• Existing Process Flow Schematic - Existing facility is a 1.8 mgd secondary
treatment facility with some partial nutrient
removal capabilities; clarification,
chlorination, and de- chlorination prior to a
discharge into the Banana River; sludge
holding and sand drying beds to dewater the
sludge prior to hauling to the County
landfill.
• Annual Average Daily Flow Projections;
• Indian River Lagoon Act, Chapter 90 -262, Laws of Florida - required owners
of existing wastewater treatment facilities discharging into the Lagoon or its
tributaries to: cease discharging or demonstrate the need for continued discharge
by July 1, 1995, and investigate the feasibility of utilizing reclaimed water for
beneficial purposes by July 1, 1992.
• Population and Wastewater Flow Projections - included population projections
up to the year 2013 (11,750) with a projected total anticipated flow capacity of
1.705 mgd.
• Effluent disposal options - the original feasibility study submitted by Post,
Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan had recommended a wetland treatment system; the
City proceeded toward that wetland system until last year when the City was
approached by the City of Cocoa Beach to provide reuse in a bulk quantity. The
City went back and evaluated the cost effectiveness of the reuse which determined
that the maximum reuse system was more cost effective.
• Capital Cost Summary and Present Value Analysis of Reuse Alternatives;
• Wastewater Treatment Options Analysis Summary of Nutrient Removal - the Five
Stage Bardenpho nutrient removal process in combination with a maximum reuse
system was the most cost effective treatment and effluent disposal alternative.
• Effluent Parameters;
• Wastewater Treatment Options Analysis Summary - included filtration and
disinfection alternatives with continuous backwash filters and chlorination/de-
chlorination being the most cost effective methods;
• Sludge Treatment and Disposal Options Analysis Summary - evaluation of Class
A and B sludge alternatives; dewater and dispose of sludge in County landfill
being the most cost effective;

cost including City contribution - $4,687,276 (included loan service fee, loan
repayment reserve, capitalized interest estimate).
• Estimated Project Cost Maximum Reuse System - total cost including City
contribution - $4,995,748 (included loan service fee, loan repayment reserve,

cost - effective alternatives:
1) Upgrade the treatment facility to include a new pretreatment system,
treatment system additions to achieve biological nutrient removal to AWT
levels, new clarification systems, and new filtration system;

land filling; and
3) Construct reclaimed water supply, transmission and distribution system to
provide 750,000 gpd of reclaimed water to the City of Cocoa Beach
pursuant to the interlocal agreement and to maximize the use of the
remaining reclaimed water produced at the Cape Canaveral W WTP within
the City limits of the City of Cape Canaveral.
Mr. Berger questioned data included on the annual average daily flow chart. Mr. ReVoir stated
that the peak flow was in 1991 and the low flow rate was in 1993. Mr. Berger questioned if
a 10% contingency in the construction operation costs would be reasonable to cover
unanticipated expenses. Mr. ReVoir stated that the State funding was based on the 10%
contingency. Mr. Berger commented that 10% was not a realistic amount with regard to the
reuse system construction. Mr. ReVoir stated that the original estimated costs were based on
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Special City Council Meeting
November 1, 1994
Page 4
30% contingency, but conservative line item estimates were used along with the 10%
contingency to be consistent with the State.
Mr. Porter stated that Council needed to take a close look at phasing the construction of the
reuse system considering the overall estimated cost of the construction of the total system. The
public hearing was closed as there were no additional comments from the public.
2. Resolution No. 94 -57. Adopting the Amended Wastewater System Facilities Plan for the
City of Cape Canaveral.
Mayor Salamone read the title of the Resolution.

Dedicated Revenue, and Capital Financing Plan which included maximum reuse. He stated that
after the Plan was adopted it would be forwarded along with the meeting minutes to the State
to reapply for total funding of the complete reuse system. Mr. Porter stated that the City could
still decide to construct the reuse project in phases if necessary. Motion carried with members

CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING
November 1, 1994

Page 4
earmarked 25% of their funds for beach renourishment in the future.
Mr. Boucher stated that with regard to the State Revolving Loan (SRF) he had received word
from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) that there had been a cut in their
federal funding and that there were no funds available for the 1995 allocation. He had inquired
as to what course of action could be taken by the City and DEP in Orlando stated that the City
could receive a nine (9) month extension to the Indian River Lagoon Act that would extend the
time limits to March 31, 1996. He stated that DEP in Tallahassee had advised that if the City
was first in line for 1996 funds, the City could start drawing on the funds in October, 1995,
which would allow six (6) months to construct the reuse system. Mr. ReVoir stated that the
reuse system could be constructed within six (6) months.
Mr. Boucher advised that Tallahassee had advised that the City should proceed with its public
hearing, process the loan application and then by December the City would have an approved
application ready for funding. He stated that he had been advised that it was not unusual for a
funding, cycle to occur without at least one community forfeiting its allocation and if the City
was ready on January 1, 1995, and another community forfeited their funds, then the City would
have first right to the available funds. The City had scored 865 points for its project which
made it the highest scored City requesting funds.
Mr. Nicholas questioned if the City had to wait until 1996 to receive the funds would the interest
rate be increased and Mr. Boucher responded affirmatively based on current market trends.
There was discussion regarding the availability of sewer fund reserves. Mr. Boucher stated that
DEP had advised that legislation had been passed that gave cities who were mandated by the
Indian River Lagoon Act priority over other cities for the SRL funds. He stated that currently
the two million dollars left available in SRL funds was being distributed to three (3) communities
for planning purposes. Mr. Nicholas recommended that the City approach the Brevard County
Legislative Delegation for assistance. Mr. Boucher reiterated that DEP would give the City a
9 -month extension and Mr. Porter stated that the time would allow the City to complete a
comprehensive survey of the City to determine who would be willing to pay for and hook up
to reuse water.
DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Berger questioned the status of the reconstruction of Lift Station No. 1. Mr. Boucher
advised that the Public Works Director felt it would be beneficial to wait until the beginning of
1995 to re -bid the project.
2. Mr. Berger commended Mr. Revoir for an excellent job in preparation of the Amended
Wastewater Facilities Plan.

3. Mr. Nicholas referenced the notice of intent to sue with regard to the road collapse on West
Central Avenue and questioned whether the City had notified its insurance company. Mr.
Boucher responded that the insurance carrier had been notified and that the insurance company
would be notifying the attorney that the City had no liability due to the road collapse being
caused by the City of Cocoa's water main break.
4. Mr. Nicholas questioned how rapidly the City was progressing with rehabilitation of the
sewer lines. Mr. Boucher stated that Mr. Gluskin was waiting for the County's bid process to
be complete because he wished to piggy -back off the County's bid.

seeking the City's assistance in soliciting volunteers from Cape Canaveral to become members

and Energy had clearly polluted federal installations for many years and their main goal was to
restore all of the federal installations to safe conditions and clean up any contaminated
environmental sites.
Colonel Bunner stated that their goals included: 1) identification of all historic sites where
contamination existed; 2) determination of the extent and type of contamination at the sites and
assessment of the risk to human health and environment; and 3) implementation of all actions
to move or reduce the risks to human health and environment in compliance with all state and
federal statutes and regulations.
Warren Wright, Chief, Environmental Public Affairs, stated that the Department of Defense had
committed millions of dollars to clean-up bases across the U.S. Mr. Wright further explained
the specifics of the Restoration Advisory Board (RAB). He stated that individuals that were
interested in Base activities and what was being done to clean-up past deficiencies were invited
to volunteer for the RAB. The RAB was designed to provide a forum for discussion and public

approximately 30 days a year dealing with Board activities.

Nicholas stated that a State mandate changed Central and Ridgewood Avenues from City to
County streets. Mr. Randels gave a brief summary of the criteria for State roads. Mr. Nicholas

questioned what the City could do to regain control of these roads. Mr. Boucher stated that the
County was responsible for maintaining Central and Ridgewood Avenues. He stated that zoning
and everything else regarding the streets was still the responsibility of the City. Mr. Nicholas

City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
December 6, 1994
Page 8
North Atlantic. He stated that impact fees could not be used for maintenance, but could be used
to enhance infrastructure, i.e. sidewalks, turn lanes, etc. Mayor Porter stated that it would be
worth exploring the possibility of obtaining matching fund grants for construction of bikepaths.
Council concurred to further discuss the use of these funds after City staff had met further with
County staff regarding the impact fees.
Mr. Boucher stated that the City of Cocoa had provided information relative to a "Pilot Billing
Program" for direct billing of the sewer customers within the Port. He stated that any
administrative cost per customer for this billing service would be passed along to the customers.
Mr. Randels spoke in favor of the billing proposal as the City had no mechanism or ability to
collect sewer delinquencies from Port customers. Council concurred to initiate the Pilot Billing
Program along with the associated administrative costs involved.
Mr. Boucher distributed copies to Council of a draft City Goals & Action Plan that he had
prepared.
Mr. Boucher reported that the Brevard Legislative Delegation would be meeting on December
20, 1994, January 18, 1995 and February 3, 1995 and he questioned whether Council had any
items which it wanted presented to the Delegation.
Mr. Boucher stated that Mr. Nicholas had questioned a County agenda item relative to
endorsement of a comprehensive street lighting safety study and he had spoken to Sue Hann
regarding same. He advised that the County was reviewing the areas where night time accidents
were occurring to identify needed lighting improvements.
Mr. Boucher stated that he had spoken to Ed Anderson, Florida Power & Light (FPL),
regarding City concerns with lighting along AlA and Mr. Anderson had driven on AlA one
evening and had counted 55 lights out along AlA from the south limits of Cocoa Beach to the
north limits of Cape Canaveral. Mr. Anderson would further investigate the reasons for the
excessive amount of street lights out and pursue replacement of same. Mr. Nicholas mentioned
that Jim McKight, City Manager of Rockledge, had been able to receive a credit from FPL due
to a number of lights within Rockledge being in need of replacement.
Mr. Boucher stated that Todd Peetz, Brevard County Planner, had logged in a total of 33.5
hours through November 28, 1994, on City related work.
Mr. Boucher reported that Hartman & Associates would not be ready on the final design of the
whole City on the reuse project until late February 1995. The bid on the wastewater plant
modification and the first phase of the reuse project would be advertised and let out until the end
of January, 1995.

DISCUSSION:
I. Mr. Berger questioned if Mr. Boucher had ranked the engineering firms who had responded
to the City's request for proposals. Council had previously discussed "short listing" the list of
13 firms to five (5) firms who would in turn be scheduled for presentations before Council.
2. Mr. Petsos thanked Council for its support and he looked forward to working as a member

members going out to condo /homeowner /other association meetings once every three (3) months,
which would provide a total of four (4) meetings with constituents per year for each member of
Council. Mr. Berger stated that he had requested a list of the number of meetings involved and
Ms. Miller advised that her office was working on such a list. Discussion followed regarding
the Mayor's suggestion. Mr. Berger, Mr. Petsos, and Mr. Randels expressed their interest in
pursuing such meetings with area associations.
7. Mayor Porter reported on discussions that were held during a recent Local Government
Cooperative Committee meeting. He stated that it had been discussed that all four (4) entities
should band together to pursue road improvements through the MPO. He stated that there was
quite a push to reclassify TDC monies back to beach renourishment, beach related activities and
promoting tourism throughout Brevard County.
Mrs. Ann Thurm commented that the TDC money had been earmarked for the County's part
of the government study being completed by the Corps of Engineers. Mr. Randels stated that
Mrs. Thurm was a member of the Erosion Control Advisory Board.
Mayor Porter thanked Mr. Berger for his submittal of draft goals and he asked that the
remaining Council members submit their draft goals as well. He advocated that the Council
come together to find a common direction in order for the City to move forward.

3. Discussion & Motion Re: Short list of consultant engineering firms who responded to
RFP No 94 -06 and scheduling of consultant presentations before City Council.
Mayor Porter stated that each Council member had been asked to list five (5) top choices from
the 13 firms who submitted proposals for consultant engineering services. He stated that the
City Manager, Building Official and the Public Works Director had each submitted their top five
(5) choices as well. He suggested that staff's recommendations also be considered when
selecting the top five (5) choices. Mayor Porter asked the City Clerk to tabulate Council and
staff's top five (5) choices while Council moved on to the next agenda item.
4. Discussion Re: City Goals Action Plan and Mission Statement.
Mayor Porter stated that he hoped to accomplish an agreement among Council for the items
included on the City Goals and Action Plan and then hand the Plan to the City staff to determine
timelines, whether or not there where expenses associated with implementation of each item, the
potential return on any investments, and impacts/benefits of new or enhanced services. He
hoped to get an agreement in principal that evening and then turn the Plan over to staff to
complete proposed timelines, amount of funds involved, and the return on each investment to
enable Council to decide whether or not to carry out a particular program.
Mayor Porter suggested reviewing each item included in the Plan. He further explained to the
audience that the action items included in the Plan were a compilation of the following: items
from each member of Council and the City Manager; items identified during citizen participation
process of a special Council meeting held on 3/31/94; suggestions for items for potential grant
funding submitted by department heads in early 1994; and communications /City image
suggestions submitted by City Clerk. The Plan was divided into seven (7) themes including:
1) City Enhancement & Beautification; 2) Planning /Economic Development/Redevelopment; 3)
Public Safety; 4) Infrastructure; 5) Parks & Recreation /Culture; 6) Communications /City Image;
and 7) Grant Writing /Volunteer Programs.
There was general discussion regarding the potential for burying of utility lines, the large
quantity of vacant office buildings within the City, and the possible need for additional code
enforcement activities.
Mrs. Martha Seymour presented a petition signed by residents of East Central Blvd. to the City
Clerk for distribution to the City Council which requested that the Council do something to
improve their neighborhood and to see "all partially constructed projects finished within a timely
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular Council Meeting
December 20, 1994
Page 3
fashion, absolutely, no later than one year from now. The situation has devalued our property
and the City has let this go on for too long." Mrs. Seymour stated that they had approached 19
of their neighbors and of the 19, 17 signed the petition. Mayor Porter stated that Goal No. 1.3
of the Action Plan provided for "code enforcement activities throughout City on a proactive and
cooperative basis, rather than reactive" and No. 1.3g which read "consider passage of an
ordinance to limit the amount of time buildings can be under construction without substantial
progress". Mayor Porter stated that he had received numerous complaints regarding the same
situation during his recent election campaign. Council concurred that the buildings needed to
be finished. Mayor Porter asked, with Council's permission, for the City Attorney to work with
staff to develop an ordinance to require substantial completion of building projects within a
certain time frame. He stated that the ordinance was not intended to impact an individual who
was building their own primary residence. He also asked that Mrs. Seymour be contacted when
the matter was placed on an upcoming Council agenda.
Mr. Tom Quinn stated that when some of the permits were originally pulled the SBCCI Code
read differently than it presently did and prior Codes may have only allowed building permits
to be effective for one (1) year. Mayor Porter stated that the proposed ordinance would need
to take into consideration all future building or be adopted on a retroactive basis. He asked that
the matter be scheduled as a workshop item for the Council meeting scheduled for January 12,
1995. Mayor Porter stated that the ordinance was not to address any particular properties, but
was to used on a City -wide basis.
Discussion continued regarding the City Goals and Action Plan beginning with Theme No. 1
City Enhancement and Beautification as follows:
l.la - Mayor Porter addressed his concept of "regreening Cape Canaveral"
through the use of volunteers and his overall plan for a volunteer
coordinator to establish a volunteer database based on input received from
residents on volunteer application forms; item to be given to Beautification
Board for development for residential areas and Commercial Development
Board for commercial areas.
l.lb -c No change.
1.ld Mr. Nicholas stated that he would like to see the City construct a bicycle
path along Astronaut Boulevard to continue the bikepaths within the City
to tie in with the bicycle path at the Port which would then provide a loop
which would run up North Atlantic, around the Port, and back down
again. He stated that the City needed to present the bikepath plans to the
MPO to obtain their permission and potential funding for the additional
bikepaths.
1. le - Research availability of funds through Brevard County MPO for the
enhancement/upgrading of AIA.
l.lf - To be addressed by Beautification Board. Mayor Porter spoke regarding
a possible program whereby plants would be planted in residents' yards
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular Council Meeting
December 20, 1994
Page 4
to be maintained by the residents and the plants would be purchased
through the City at a wholesale rate. He stated that the City would be in
a leadership role to motivate people to plants trees and bushes in their
yards to enhance their property.
1. lg - Council asked that the Public Works Department research and report back
on the feasibility of a City nursery. Mr. Nicholas referenced a
subscription to a market bulletin he received from the State of Florida
which listed used nursery equipment for sale.
L lh - Mayor Porter suggested that possibly the Port could incorporate
landscaping into its interchange project and the entrance to the City and
the City could possibly in turn supply reuse water for the project.
Council asked that Mayor Porter discuss the idea of reuse water in
exchange for heavy planting /landscaping at the next Local Government
Cooperative committee meeting.
Mr. Nicholas proposed that on the west side of AIA, where the IITF
property was located, that the City allocate funds to place a new entrance
sign on the subject property.
There was general discussion regarding whether or not providing street
sweeping services four (4) times per year was adequate. Council asked
the Streets Division to address the problem and provide feedback to
Council.
Mr. Randels suggested scheduling one section of the City Goals and Action Plan for each
subsequent Council workshop to allow further discussion and exchange of ideas. Mayor Porter
felt that the Council needed to provide direction to staff, the volunteer boards, and the
community as a whole in order to move forward quickly while there was momentum.
3. Discussion & Motion Re: Short list of consultant engineering firms who responded to
RFP No 94 -06 and scheduling of consultant presentations before City Council (Continued)_

1995, at 9:00 a.m. and to allocate 15 minutes for each presentation, 10 minutes for questions
of each firm, and 5 minutes in between presentations.
5. Discussion Re: Quarterly meetings with constituents
Mayor Porter suggested that each Council member try to attend one condo association meeting
and report back to Council on whether or not they wished to continue meeting on a regularly
scheduled quarterly basis with the condo /homeowners associations throughout the City. He
asked that the City Clerk's office begin scheduling Council members' attendance at the subject
meetings on the basis of each Council member attending one meeting every three (3) months
beginning in January 1995. Council asked that the list contain only associations which actually
meet in Cape Canaveral and contain Cape Canaveral residents. Mayor Porter also mentioned
that several condo associations were not included on the list and the list would be revised as
needed.
Mr. Randels stated that he had three (3) meetings scheduled in January with condo associations
to explain the sand transfer project which would be beginning in January as well. Mayor Porter
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida

along the beachfront due to the heavy equipment involved and the noise and lights 24 hours a
day during the extent of the project.
6. Monthly Activity Reports.
No comments.
4. Discussion Re: City Goals, Action Plan and Mission Statement.
Discussion continued regarding the Action Plan:
1.lj - No change.
l.lk - There was general discussion regarding the feasibility of burying power
lines. Mr. Randels expressed that possibly there was an option available
to the City when the reuse lines were run to Cocoa Beach and the trenches
were dug that then would be an appropriate time to go ahead and bury the
power lines. Mayor Porter stated that FPL had suggested that PVC pipe
be laid all along the trench for the reuse lines for future use to bury power
lines. He advocated studying the feasibility of laying the PVC pipe as
soon as possible. Mr. Nicholas asked that the City Manager send a letter
to FPL advising them that the City wished to obtain technical inputs, etc.
regarding the feasibility of burying the lines and laying the PVC pipe and
ask for a written response.
Mayor Porter asked that the City Clerk add the action items as discussed
by Council to the City Goals and Action Plan document. He also stated
that Council would want to see timelines and return on investments for the
action items as well.
1.2a - Gazebos and shelters along beach ends - Council concurred to delete this
item.
1.2b - Ongoing project.

Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Nicholas to adopt Ordinance No. 25 -94 at first
reading. Mr. Kancilia reviewed the changes made to the ordinance since the workshop meeting
held the previous week. Mr. Randels explained that the occupational license fee revision was
mandated by the State and it was done entirely by the business community and that the Equity
Study Commission's purpose /goal was to make the license fees fair and equitable for all. He
spoke in reference to the new "dwellings for rent" category and questioned how City staff would
monitor or determine which condominiums were rented more than three (3) times or more on
a short-term basis. Ms. Deborah Haggerty, City Treasurer, explained the various methods that
would be used to identify these type of rental units. Mayor Salamone stated that the identifying
factor which stated "other dwellings rented or advertised for rent" would make it easier to
determine such rental units.
Mr. Michael Barnett, Sea Ventures of Cape Canaveral, stated that his business was a non - profit,
marine research corporation and he addressed several questions to Council regarding which fees
would be applicable to his business. Mr. Kancilia advised that if Mr. Barnett's business
qualified as a non - profit, 501(C)(3) corporation and if each unrelated trade or business conducted
by Mr. Barnett's organization was used in the furtherance of charitable activity, then he would
be exempt from payment of occupational license fees.
Mr. Arthur "Bud" Burns, Cape Storage, spoke against the proposed fees for mini storage
complexes at $25.00 plus $2.00 per unit. He stated that he felt that he would be paying the
highest fees within the City based on his 194 units. He commented that his business only

employed one (1) individual, yet his fees were based on number of rental units. He further
expressed that the per unit cost was unfair and expounded on his reasons for same. Discussion

members of the Equity Study Commission attend the second reading and public hearing of the
ordinance to explain the reasoning behind the per unit charge included under the Dwellings for

in designating Council and Planning & Zoning Boardmembers as the LPA. He advised that a
compromise solution would be to appoint one (1) or two (2) members of Council to the LPA
along with the Planning & Zoning Board which would somewhat minimize the impracticalities
of appointing the entire Council to the LPA. Mayor Salamone asked two (2) members of
Council to volunteer to serve on the LPA. Mr. Nicholas and Mr. Randels agreed to serve on
the LPA and Mr. Kancilia would prepare an ordinance for the next Council meeting to appoint
said members to the LPA.
Mayor Salamone also recommended that Lamar Russell be notified as to the days and times of
the LPA meetings.
2. Mr. Nicholas stated that he was concerned about the library expansion and asked that the
Council be brought into the loop of approval as far the expansion was concerned. Mayor
Salamone asked that Mr. Boucher contact the County to ask that Council be included in the loop
of the library expansion process. Mr. Nicholas commented that the County had applied for a
CDBG grant to supplement the cost of the library expansion.
3. Mr. Porter asked that if Council received any information relative to available grants that
the information be forwarded to the part -time grant writer.
4. Mr. Randels stated that Keep Brevard Beautiful had a $1,600 grant available.
5. Mr. Randels referenced the article in The Tribune regarding the use of Timbrex (recycled
materials) for dune crossovers.
6. Mr. Randels questioned if the City would be having a 24 -hour per day, 7 -day a week
wastewater treatment plant and Mr. Boucher responded that the matter was not final because a
permit had not been received as of yet.

transportation issues.
8. Mr. Randels commented that he felt the City newsletter was unbiased, very factual and well
done.

Mills & Precourt and he appreciated same.
10. Mr. Randels stated that the next Space Coast League of Cities meeting was scheduled for
Monday, July 11th.
11. Mr. Randels questioned the status of Tower Boulevard improvements. Mr. Boucher stated
that the bid documents were prepared and would be sent out by the end of the week. Mr.
Randels stated that he would like to encourage the developer to pave the section of road leading
up to his development after the road was stabilized. Mr. Boucher stated that the roadway from
the sewer plant to Cape Sierra would be stabilized (east -west portion). Mayor Salamone stated
that she had agreed to stabilizing 300', not the entire roadway length. She asked for copies of
the minutes which reflected what Council's intent had been for the stabilization of Tower
Boulevard.
12. Mr. Randels commented that Mr. Abe, Central Supply, had a concern regarding an off
premise sign. He asked that staff determine the original intent of the five -year compliance
clause included in the sign ordinance.

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Randels for an add -on item to the agenda. Motion
carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger,
For; Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Porter that the add -on item be entitled discussion re:
movement of cement trucks through Harbor Heights for construction. Motion carried with
members voting as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For;
Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember Randels, For.
Mr. Boucher advised that Benko Construction, contractor for the Ocean Oaks project, had
requested a temporary limited access through Harbor Heights for delivery of cement trucks to
finish pourings for the entranceways to the project. He had received a letter from Benko
Construction outlining the conditions of the request which included a guarantee of safety,
cleaning up after the cement trucks, and making any repairs to the roadway if needed after
completion of the cement pourings. He introduced Mr. Gary Downing as the Ocean Oaks'
Project Superintendent. Mr. Downing stated that the project was nearing completion and the
crews were completing the site work (pouring concrete driveways, curbs, etc.). He explained
that the main access to the site would be cut off in order to place the necessary concrete and that
such construction had always been included within the project's scope. He stated that every
attempt would be made to reroute the traffic and that there may be three (3) concrete pours on
a large scale on 2 -3 days. He reiterated that Benko Construction was willing to do anything
necessary to ensure the safety of the residents as well as maintaining the conditions of the road.
Mr. Randels expressed his concerns regarding the possibility of damage to the roadways, safety
related problems, extra traffic, and general annoyance to the neighborhood. He stated that at
a minimum he wanted to have the subject streets videotaped prior to and after any construction
traffic through Harbor Heights to determine the current roadway conditions and the extent of any
damage afterwards. He questioned if the trucks could be routed in from Central Avenue; Mr.
Downing explained that there was a point at which there would be no alternative but to bring
the trucks in from the north to pour concrete for the main drives. Mr. Downing stated that his
company intended to replace any shrubbery or roadway damaged during the transport of the
concrete.

Mr. Nicholas advised that he found it hard to believe that the project could not have been
planned differently to eliminate the need for the northern access. He further expounded on his
reasons for not supporting the use of Harbor Heights streets for the requested construction
traffic. Mr. Boucher described the layout of the subject property and the proposed construction
traffic route. Mr. Morgan stated that in his research he had been unable to locate anything in
the City's Code or the technical codes that would limit or prevent temporary construction access
for a construction site. He stated that there was an ordinance on the books that reiterated the
requirement that the developer fix any damage incurred to City roads caused by the construction
traffic. He commented that Ocean Woods was a private right -of -way, whereas Harbor Heights
roadways were public right -of -ways. He advised that a courtesy letter advising the residents of
the construction traffic had been sent to all residents of the area.
There was further discussion regarding other possibilities for achieving the construction access
required without traversing through Harbor Heights. The following residents of the Harbor
Heights area expressed their concerns against allowing the construction traffic through their
subdivision: Mr. Goldberg, Sue Hagan, and Fred Distashio. Mr. Hans Saurenmann suggested
using an alternative route near the post office off of Eberwein Road. Mr. Ray McGee stated
that the roadways within Harbor Heights were built prior to the existence of the City and that
potentially the roads could not handle a project of this magnitude with potential truck loads of
75,000 lbs. Mrs. Martha Seymour commented that the trucks that had been traversing Central
Boulevard for the sand transfer project and the subject construction project were traveling in
excess of the posted speed limits.
Mr. Randels suggested scheduling a meeting with several of the concerned citizens, the
construction manager and City staff to review the situation further. He also encouraged the
Building Official to research additional solutions.
Mr. Lamar Russell questioned if there was any intent on behalf of the City to extend Ridgewood
Boulevard. He commented on the Villages of Seaport and Ocean Woods' projects and the
private ownership of the roads within both developments. He stated that there were several
problems related to Harbor Drive including no sidewalks and safety concerns from traffic from
the Circle K and the Mexican cafe across from the entrance to Harbor Heights. Mr. Russell
recommended that the Council request that the Planning & Zoning Board include in the traffic
element of the City's Comprehensive Plan to extend Ridgewood only when it could be extended
the full length all the way to Jetty Park, and not allow extensions on a piece meal basis. Mr.
Leonard Focarelli stated that the Ridgewood Avenue extension was in the capital funding portion
of the adopted 1988 Comprehensive Plan. He questioned whether or not there was any
possibility of pumping or craning the concrete into the Ocean Oaks site. Mr. Downing
explained the limits placed on such means of transporting the concrete.
Mr. Nicholas expressed his opinion that possibly the project was designed inaccurately to have
created such problems with construction access. Mr. Porter expressed his wish that the City had
identified this potential problem at an earlier date and he advocated the need to look for other
solutions to the immediate problem. Mr. Downing suggested that the City meet with Mr. Jack
Bennett, Project Manager, who had designed the project. Mr. Randels volunteered to meet with
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
July 19, 1994
Page 3
the citizens, City staff and Mr. Bennett to ascertain an alternative means of access to the
construction site. Mr. Boucher expressed his concerns regarding the possibility of removing oak
trees to gain access to the property which would in turn potentially alienate the Ocean Woods'
homeowners.
There was discussion regarding whether or not the City had jurisdiction over the subject
roadways. Mr. Nicholas stated that he wanted the City to pursue doing whatever was necessary
to stop the truck traffic through Harbor Heights. Discussion followed concerning the possible
need for an emergency ordinance to eliminate truck traffic on residential streets within the City.
Mr. Porter stated that the City needed to research an alternative way into the property without
going through Harbor Heights and without destroying trees. He suggested that staff, Mr.
Randels and concerned citizens meet with Mr. Bennett to seek an agreeable solution within the
next week. Council concurred to schedule the matter for further discussion at the next Council
workshop meeting.
After a ten- minute break, the meeting was reconvened.
NEW BUSINESS:
4. Discussion Re: The unfinished buildings in the 200 Block of East Central Boulevard.
Mr. Randels explained that he had requested that this item be placed on the agenda for
discussion. He stated that he did live on the same street as the buildings in question. He
advised that Dr. Pindziak had assured him that work was continuing on the buildings in question
and the buildings would be completed as Dr. Pindziak could get to them. Mr. Randels stated
that he had received numerous complaints regarding the subject unfinished buildings. He
referenced ordinances from two (2) other cities which addressed unfinished buildings.
Dr. Charles Pindziak stated that he was the only owner with ongoing construction at 200 Central
Boulevard and he felt that the matter was a personal issue on the part of Mr. Randels. He
explained that he had invested in the subject properties and had continued work at all times on
the properties. Dr. Pindziak commented that Mr. Randels' main concern appeared to be the
painting of 285 & 295 Central Boulevard. He advised that the buildings were stuccoed in gray
with water sealer; if the buildings were painted gray, they would resemble the stucco
appearance. Dr. Pindziak did not feel that he had broken any City ordinances.
Mrs. Martha Seymour commented that the buildings had been uncompleted for at least seven (7)
years. Mr. Porter stated that different complaints regarding the buildings had been expressed
to him several times as well. Dr. Pindziak remarked against excessive government intervention.
Mr. Saurenmann questioned why Council did not write a new ordinance to address unfinished
buildings and to allow builders a set time to complete the buildings. Ms. Vicki Fischer, Central
Blvd., questioned why the City continued to grant permits for multiple buildings /projects that
were not finished. Ms. Carol Wells, Central Blvd., stated that she had observed one slab for
a driveway poured, six months later another slab was poured, and so on. She commented that
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting

Page 4
the construction was progressing at a very slow pace. Dr. Pindziak stated that he wanted to
supervise all of the work himself and he was limited by other demands on his time.
Mrs. Seymour explained that she was concerned with beautification needs throughout the City
and that it bothered her that one project was not finished prior to starting another project. She
encouraged the City to do something about unfinished buildings. Mr. Dick Benson, Central
Blvd., spoke against the unfinished buildings and the potential for devaluation of surrounding
properties and he also encouraged Council to enact legislation to allow one (1) year for
completion of construction.
Mr. Porter questioned if there was a tax advantage to unimproved property vs.
improved /constructed property. Mr. Kancilia explained some of the tax issues involved. Mr.
Porter expressed his personal feeling that the properties were unsightly.
Mr. Berger stated that it was not only a question of finishing projects, but a question of
aesthetics /cosmetics and that maybe the City was not taking the right approach to the matter.
He stated that if the properties in question had sidewalks installed, trees planted, walls painted,
etc., the surrounding residents would not be concerned with whether or not the construction was
finished on the inside. Mr. Nicholas suggested scheduling the item for further discussion at the
next workshop meeting.
There was further discussion regarding unfinished buildings and aesthetics /cosmetics issues of
the subject property. Ms. Vicki Fisher stated that when her home was under construction there
were some delays and several times City staffinembers questioned her regarding when the home
would be completed. Mrs. Martha Seymour commented on another location next to the Straw
Hat Club which only contained a concrete slab and fence. Mr. Porter stated that there were two
(2) ways to look at the problem, from a cosmetic standpoint through Code Enforcement or the
Beautification Board or a possible ordinance to place time limits on the completion of new
construction. Council concurred to schedule the matter for further discussion at the next
workshop meeting.

within the financial audits. He referenced the annual audit fees paid by other cities within the

Council concurred to schedule an item on the next Council workshop meeting to determine if
Hoyman, Dobson were to remain as the City's auditors. Mr. Nicholas stated that he wanted the
City to go out for bids for all outside services.

spoke in favor of the Resolution. He stated that the proposed increase only applied to
commercial accounts. Mr. Porter stated that items of concern had been addressed within the
past month, but that he hoped to see the same dedication and quality services from Western
Waste throughout the year rather than only at contract time. Mr. Nicholas stated that he was
still concerned regarding the deodorization of the dumpsters. Mr. George Gilchrist, Western
Waste, stated that the company had recently purchased a new commercial truck which would be
used to deodorize each container upon pickup. Mr. Porter directed staff to monitor contract
compliance throughout the year.

2. Discussion Re: Leeal services contract.

& Wattwood and the firm had indicated that as part of their continuing contract with the City
they wished to leave matters status quo with Mr. Kancilia fulfilling the services of City Attorney
for the remainder of the contract. Mr. Randels commented on the intent of Mr. Gougelman's
letter on behalf of the firm. Mr. Kancilia stated that he hoped to continue as the City Attorney.
He stated that he had spoken with Mr. Reinman and Mr. Gougelman and that it was the
intention of Reinman, Harrell to continue the contractual commitment through the expiration of
the present contract which expires on September 30, 1994. Reinman, Harrell and Mr. Kancilia
had agreed, with concurrence of the City, that Mr. Kancilia would continue as City Attorney
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
July 19, 1994
Page 8
through September 30, 1994. Mr. Kancilia stated that Mr. Nicholas had mentioned possibly re-
bidding all of the City's professional services and he fully intended to be a candidate for the City
Attorney position.
Council concurred to allow Mr. Kancilia to continue as City Attorney on a subcontract basis
through Reinman, Harrell and to place the matter on the next workshop agenda to discuss
advertising for legal services.
3. Discussion Re: The possibility of vacating a section of Tower Boulevard vs. the need,
costs benefits of the City . paving and maintaining said section.
Mr. Randels stated that staff had explored the option of vacating a section of Tower Boulevard
and although it was feasible to vacate the road, it was not acceptable to all concerned
landowners. He explained that he had been proposing vacating the eastern section beginning at
the west end of Cape Sierra to the wastewater treatment plant. Mr. Jim Morgan, Building
Official, stated that possibly the City could stabilize the roadway up to Mr. Tezel's property and
then temporarily barricade the roadway from the eastern end up to the western end of the
project. He stated that the Fire Department had concerns regarding access to a fire hydrant.
Mr. Morgan explained that the closing of the right -of -way would be temporary only.
Mr. Boucher stated that Mr. Tezel had approached him with a suggestion to utilize the provision
in the impact fee ordinance for in -kind services ($520 x 25 units = $13,000). He stated that
Mr. Tezel was willing to trade off the $13,000 of in -kind services to construct the first 300' of
roadway up to the Discovery Bay property. Mr Boucher stated that the Council could authorize
the trade -off of the impact fees for in -kind services if appropriate and the in -kind service would
be the paving of the first 300' of the roadway up to the Discovery Bay entrance way. He stated
that the bids had been advertised for the stabilization of Tower Boulevard and the bid opening
was scheduled for August 16, 1994.
Mr. Porter questioned if there were any documents which stated that the City had agreed to pave
Tower Boulevard. Mr. Kancilia stated that there was a document from when Cevesco, Inc. had
dedicated the Tower Boulevard right -of -way to the City; the dedication was made on the
condition that the City would pave Tower Boulevard (no time frame was indicated on the deed).
The deed was signed by George Firkins and the City accepted and recorded the deed. Mr.
Porter stated that based on those circumstances the City should allow Mr. Tezel to use the
impact fees to pave the roadway. Mr. Randels expressed his opinion that it was a moral, legal
and ethical issue on the part of the City to pave Tower Boulevard and he further explained the
history of Tower Boulevard and his reasons for recommending the paving of Tower Boulevard.
Mr. Kancilia stated that the City's undertaking to pave the roadway was done in conjunction
with acceptance of the deed from Cevesco and the City had a general obligation perhaps to pave
the road. He stated that Mr. Tezel's firm may not have the same legal rights in terms of being
able to enforce the agreement that was originally between the City and Cevesco. Mr. Porter
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular Meeting
July 19, 1994
Page 9
commented that it was not a legal question at this time. Mr. Nicholas also commented on the
history of Tower Boulevard improvements and that the City in the past had agreed to pave the
roadway for the benefit of the City, not the property owner.
Council concurred to schedule a resolution for consideration at the next workshop meeting to
allow the trade -off of impact fees for in -kind services on the Discovery Bay project. There was
additional discussion regarding the St. John's permit which gave permission only to stabilize the
roadway and the need for additional retention areas if the roadway was paved. Mr. Tezel stated
that he would be paying a total of $67,000 in impact fees for his project and he felt that it was
in the best interests of the City to pave the roadway.

Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Resolution No. 94 -33. Mr. Randels
stated that he was concerned with the decrease in the Beautification millage and that the citizens
had voted for a millage of up to .5000 mill and that gradually the City had reduced the millage
until there were limited funds to complete Beautification projects. Motion by Mr. Randels,
seconded by Mr. Berger to amend the motion to change the millage rate in Section I for the
Beautification Dependent Special District to .4843 mill. Motion carried with members voting
as follows: Mayor Pro Tern Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember

11. Discussion Re: Forming an Ad -Hoc Committee to review criteria for an Architectural
Review Board.
Council concurred with the recommendation of the Beautification Board for the formation of an
Ad Hoc Committee to review criteria for an Architectural Review Board. Mr. Kancilia advised
that the Ad Hoc Committee would need to function as a "fact- finding body only" and that any
actual recommendations would need to be filtered back through an official City Board such as
the Beautification Board or Planning & Zoning Board.

Mr. Boucher stated that the Dyer, Riddle, Mills & Precourt had prepared the bid specifications
for the improvements to Lift Station No. 1. The specifications would be reviewed by staff and
the project would be bid within the first or second week of August.
DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Kancilia stated that he needed direction from Council regarding the scheduled closing
for the purchase of two (2) acres located near the wastewater treatment plant. He stated that the
title insurance commitment showed eight (8) easements (5 were in favor of the City, 3 were
not). He stated that the three (3) easements potentially created a defect in the title to the
property. He advised that the City could choose to acquire the property subject to the easements
and deal with the easements at a later date or the City could choose to reject the contract. He
recommended that the City seek an extension to the closing date to clear up the easement
problems. Council concurred with the City Attorney's recommendation.

1. Ordinance 25 -94, Amending City's Code of Ordinances. Chapter 70. Taxation, by
revealing and reenacting Article III. Occupational License Tax, for second and final reading.
Mayor Pro Tem John Porter read the title of the Ordinance.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY,
FLORIDA; AMENDING CHAPTER 70, TAXATION OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES
OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BY REPEALING IN ITS ENTIRETY, ARTICLE
III, OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE TAX ADOPTING A NEW ARTICLE; ESTABLISHING A
NEW FEE SCHEDULE; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL
OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Ordinance No. 25 -94 at second and
final reading. Mr. Randels commented on the guidelines used by the Equity Study Commission
and subsequent results in order to provide a fair and equitable ordinance. According to the
Florida Statutes, the rates could have been increased up to 10 percent, however, the rate
structure was only increased by 9 percent. Mr. Randels reiterated on the performance of the
Equity Study Commission by noting how the group simplified the existing license structure,
reduced the number of categories from 21 to five, established minimum fees, updated license
fees, and restored equity to the occupational license tax structure by utilizing comparable
ordinances from 16 other municipalities.
Mayor Pro Tem Porter acknowledged those in the business community with objections to the
ordinance and also recognized the presence of Mr. Fred Fishback and several members of the
Equity Study Commission who were present to address any questions or concerns.
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Special Meeting
July 28, 1994
Page 2
Mr. Arthur E. "Bud" Burns addressed Council with his objections regarding the fees charged
for mini- storage units. Mr. Bums distributed copies of his concerns to Council and staff. His
objection was based on the words "fair and equitable" in the second paragraph of the cover page
of the occupational license. Mr. Burns expressed that his mini - storage facility should not have
been categorized as a dwelling, but as a service.
Mr. Fishback responded to Mr. Burns' objections and addressed the classification of his mini -
storage facility in comparison with a rented dwelling. In concept, a mini - storage facility was
more similar to a rented dwelling that any other category. The concept that the Equity
Commission tried to maintain throughout the process was that a larger business with a greater
number of units or employees should have an occupational fee greater than a business with fewer
units or employees. Mayor Pro Tem Porter questioned Mr. Fishback regarding a former
objection of fees based on per unit or square footage charges. Mr. Fishback answered that a
per unit fee was better related to impact because of the number of units for rent and the amount
of traffic involved. Mr. Berger pointed out that sectioning the overall unit more adequately
benefitted the customer with suitably sized storage for their particular needs. Mr. Berger
suggested that a minimal rate be paid for the size of the overall storage facility in light of the
expense involved in the process of sectioning the overall unit. Mr. Jim Means commented that
Mr. Burns' percentage increase was a rather small increase compared to that experienced by
many of the other businesses.
Mr. Nicholas asked Council to poll the audience in response to the occupational license in order
to ascertain how many concerns needed to be addressed. Mr. Hans K. Saurenmann questioned
if the discussion referred to taxes or license. He defined a license as a flat fee, however, taxes
were fees based on square feet. Mr. Saurenmann explained that his business was already taxed
and that an occupational license should be a flat fee and that there should not be so many
categories.
Mayor Pro Tern Porter noted the time and since there were several remaining concerns before
Council for discussion, he asked Mr. Kancilia if deferment of the workshop meeting at 7:00
p.m. was in order. Mr. Kancilia agreed that the workshop should be deferred until the
conclusion of the special meeting.
Mr. Burns rebutted Mr. Fishback's answers to his concerns and stated that the occupational
license was cluttered with real estate terms which would cause his license to be renewed at a
higher level. He also reiterated that his occupational license fee was not in the category of his
business. He restated that warehouses were not dwelling units.
Mr. Kancilia stated that occupational licenses were taxes. The State recognized that an
occupational licensing ordinance was a taxing ordinance, not a regulatory ordinance. There were
a number of bases upon which an occupational license tax would be imposed. The basis a city
could not utilize was sales or revenue since these were in the form of an income tax. The
Equity Study Commission had substantially reduced the inequities of the former occupational

license structure.
Mr. Nicholas commented that the terminology of dwelling needed to be changed to fit the
classification of a mini - storage facility. He suggested that the proposed fee of $2.00 per unit
be lowered based on the actual usage of a mini - storage facility in comparison to other usages
in the same category.
Mr. Kancilia explained that the proposed changes to the occupational license ordinance could
not be made without going through the advertising requirements again. Mr. Nicholas questioned
if Tuesday, August 2nd, would be adequate time to implement changes. Ms. Deborah Haggerty,
City Treasurer, stated that her staff would need appropriate time to prepare the licenses since
the statute mandated that the occupational licenses go on sale Monday, August 1st. She also
asked Mr. Kancilia if the occupational license ordinance could pass as stated with the exception
of, perhaps, dwellings for rent which could be addressed at another time. Mr. Kancilia
explained that if certain classifications were omitted the opportunity may be missed to enact a
new rate. Further discussion followed on proposed changes to the classification or cost per unit.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Porter to amend the ordinance on Page
10 in the category "dwellings for rent" in such manner that Council change the category from
"dwellings" to "property for rent" and that Council change the mini - storage complex from
"$25.00 plus $2.00 per unit" to 125.00 plus $1.00 per unit" and that Council change the last
line "operators of other dwellings not specifically stated" to "operators of other property not
specifically stated ". Mr. Berger questioned why rates were being included in the amendment.
Mr. Nicholas answered that if rates were not changed at this point they could not be changed
for another year. Mayor Pro Tem Porter based his decision on the recommendation of the
Equity Study Commission to lower the rate. Mr. Randels felt that the ordinance should go
forward and delete the mini - storage classification and no license be purchased until Council
could address the matter. Discussion followed on the consequences of deleting the mini - storage
classification from the ordinance until Council could address the matter. Motion on the
amendment failed with members voting as follows:

Mr. Berger suggested that the mini - storage classification be deleted from the main ordinance
until Council could reach an equitable solution for the category. Mayor Pro Tern Porter
proposed that this suggestion be placed in the form of an amendment.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Porter for an amendment that a particular
mini- warehouse category remain the same as last year. Mr. Kancilia noted one procedural point
in that the amount of the fee for last year should be read into the record as part of the
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Special Meeting
July 28, 1994
Page 4
amendment. He also added that if the fee remained the same as last year in order to further
study its equity, the opportunity to increase the fee could not be done for another year. Mr.
Randels clarified his motion by stating that on the mini - storage warehouses Council would adopt
the old rate of $62.50 per building for the upcoming year. Mr. Fishback commented that
instead of reconvening the Equity Study Commission for one category that Council set an
amount. Mr. Randels withdrew his amendment and Mayor Pro Tem Porter withdrew his second
to the amendment.
Mr. Berger questioned Mr. Fishback on his recommendation to lower the fee for mini - storage
warehouses. Members of the Equity Study Commission informally recommended $1.50 per unit
as the fee. Mr. Berger then asked Mr. Burns what was his recommendation to solve the fee
problem. Mr. Bums stated that even at the fee of $1.50 per unit, his warehouse fee in the future
would be over $300. Mr. Berger stated that there should be a flat rate for mini - storage
businesses. Further discussion followed regarding mini - storage businesses.
Mr. Nicholas questioned Mr. Kancilia as to the City's ability to raise the occupational licenses
in the future under the State Statute guidelines. Mr. Kancilia answered that after the enactment
of a comprehensive ordinance the fee could not be increased by more than 5 % every other year.
Mr. Porter defined the options available to resolve the problem: 1) Council could keep the fee
at its current level, 2) Council could reduce the fee, or 3) Council could remove the portion
relating to mini - storage warehouses as suggested by Mr. Randels. Mr. Porter polled Council
on each members position based upon these options. Mr. Kancilia noted also that there were
certain housekeeping amendments that still needed to be addressed.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Porter to amend Page 10 "dwellings for
rent" to "property for rent," change "dwellings" at the bottom of the page to "property," and
on mini - storage businesses change the 125.00 plus $2.00 per unit" to 125.00 plus $1.50 per
unit." Motion on the amendment failed with members of Council voting as follows:

Mr. Clark asked Council to brief him on the revised occupational license since he was on
vacation during its inception. Mr. Porter explained that the State had mandated that all
municipalities and governmental entities in the entire State of Florida study the structure and
equity of its occupational license fees. He further explained that the City convened a volunteer
group of business men and women from the community to review the City's entire occupational
license structure. Mr. Kurt Ronstrum stated that he not only served on the Equity Study
Commission, but in so doing he voted on fees that would more than double the fees on two (2)
of his businesses.

Mr. Fishback questioned Mr. Kancilia on the adjustments made to a category classified as
miscellaneous to a fee of $93.75. His concern was that any new business could only be charged
$93.75. Mr. Kancilia explained his reasons for recommending the fee of $93.75 to any "new"
category that had not been included in the previous occupational license ordinance. Mr.
Fishback reiterated his concern and stated that this created inequities in the system.
Mayor Pro Tem Porter addressed the internal housekeeping amendments to the ordinance. Mr.
Randels presented the first amendment under service- oriented businesses on page nine whereby
the category of cleaning and janitorial services was omitted. Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded
by Mr. Nicholas to amend the category of cleaning and janitorial services under service - oriented
business to include a rate of $50.00 with a $1,000 surety bond requirement and to delete the
surety bond for private investigators.
Mr. Nicholas questioned the benefit of surety bonds. Mr. Kancilia responded that surety bonds
were insurance against certain risks and that fidelity bonds protected against dishonesty on the
part of the profession; therefore, if a claim were made against the City, the City could go back
against the bond. He further explained that the bond protected against costs incurred for
enforcement of the ordinance. Further discussion followed on the effectiveness of using a surety
bond. Motion on the amendment carried with members voting as follows:

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Randels to amend the ordinance to delete the
requirement for surety bond from all categories listed in the ordinance which consisted of
cleaning and janitorial, decorating, and detective agencies. Mayor Pro Tem Porter asked Mr.
Berger due to his personal involvement with being required to provide surety bonds in his
business if a surety bond was effective. Mr. Berger felt that a surety bond was no longer
required. Motion carried on the amendment with members voting as follows:

AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Nicholas to adopt Ordinance No. 20 -94 at first
reading. Mr. Porter commented on the letter sent by Gerry Schmitz questioning the provision
in the ordinance whereby the City was asking citizens to install a concrete pad or an
impermeable surface, he suggested that this item be amended. Mr. Randels noted that this
amendment had been made in the revised Ordinance. Mr. Nicholas stated that the ordinance did
not specifically restrict paving to asphalt or concrete, it included sand, gravel, etc.
Mayor Salamone asked Mr. Kancilia if the ordinance addressed other points addressed by
Council, such as the twenty -five feet set back requirement. Mr. Kancilia answered that the
ordinance prohibited the parking of vehicles within four feet of the right -of -way abutting any
street. Mayor Salamone expressed that she felt the limitation was unfair to citizens. Mr. Berger
commented that the sidewalks were built within the easement and he did not think that trailers
or boats should be parked within the easement. Mr. Kancilia stated that if the sidewalks in
question were all within the right -of -way and the City did not want boats and utility vehicles
protruding over the sidewalk, the proposed Ordinance included "within four feet of the right -of-
way" which was four feet off the sidewalk, then the wording could be changed to provide that
no vehicle would be parked on the right -of -way. He stated that then the vehicles would be
allowed closer to the street and aesthetically that provision may be objectionable to some
individuals. There was further discussion regarding the areas where no sidewalks were provided
and other right -of -way concerns as related to the parking of boats and other such vehicles.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to amend Section 1 of the Ordinance, Sec.
110- 551(b)(2)(a) to allow that no boats, utility trailers, recreational vehicles, or special purpose
vehicles "shall park within the right -of -way as opposed to within four (4) feet of the right -of -way
line abutting the street ". Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone,
For; Mayor Pro Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For;
Councilmember Randels, For.
Mr. Randels expressed his concerns regarding the "relaxation of the parking requirements"
included within the proposed Ordinance. Discussion followed regarding the screening limitations
included in R -1 and R -3 zoning, and the limitation against the parking of any vehicle in excess
of thirty (30) feet in length in R -1, R -2 or R -3 zoning. After discussion, Council concurred that
such vehicles in excess of thirty (30) feet in R -2 and R -3 zoning would require screening. Mr.
Nicholas expressed his concerns regarding the provision which allowed the parking of such
vehicles on vacant lots under certain conditions including the written consent of the lot owner,
current license plates, and that the vehicle needed to be in operable condition. Council
concurred to further discuss Section 3 of the Ordinance at the next regular workshop meeting
to be held on September 1, 1994.

4. Ordinance No 32-94, Amending Section 38 -2 Fire Safety Fees to provide for reduced
fire safety fees. for first reading.
Mayor Salamone read the title of the Ordinance.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY,
FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 38 -2, FIRE SAFETY FEES, TO PROVIDE FOR
REDUCED FIRE SAFETY FEES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR
REPEAL OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS; AND PROVIDING FOR
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Ordinance No. 32 -94 at first reading.
Mr. Randels expressed concern over making changes to the Ordinance after the original
Ordinance was adopted less than two (2) months earlier. He stated that the Ordinance had yet
to become effective and Council should not respond to the objections of one (1) individual
complaint. Mr. Randels reiterated the two -fold objective of the ordinance which was to make
fire safety rules that would apply to buildings to ensure that businesses were following a uniform
code of fire safety at a cost of $50.00 per inspection and also to comply with State regulations
on fire safety. Mayor Salamone questioned why the Ordinance was being changed two (2)
months after it was originally adopted. Mr. Nicholas answered that Mr. Tim Grady had
objected to the ordinance because he had not been notified of the cost and because Mr. Grady
had paid for an occupational license and Mr. Grady had felt that the license should pay some
of the cost of the fire inspection fee. Mr. Nicholas further explained that small businesses were
being required to pay more and more fees and costs in order to do business. Mr. Randels asked
Council to postpone passage of the Ordinance until Council had an opportunity to review the
proposed budget. Mayor Salamone felt that the fee was fair and equitable.
Further discussion followed regarding the implementation and possible revision of fire inspection
and safety fees. Mr. Porter suggested using a fee of $35.00 as opposed to $50.00 for fire safety
inspections. Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Porter to table Ordinance No. 32-
94. Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro Tem
Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember, Nicholas, For; Councilmember

5. Resolution No 94 -34 Authorizing an in -kind service agreement with Bay Construction,
Inc to construct improvements to Tower Boulevard
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting

Mayor Salamone read the title of the Resolution.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY,
FLORIDA; AUTHORIZING THE PAYMENT OF IMPACT FEES IMPOSED BY SECTIONS
2 -231 THROUGH 2 -237 TO BE PAID BY IN -KIND CONTRIBUTIONS BY DISCOVERY
BAY DEVELOPMENT, INC., FOR THE PAVING OF APPROXIMATELY THREE
HUNDRED FORTY (340) FEET OF TOWER BOULEVARD; PROVIDING FOR
LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Resolution No. 94 -34. Mr. Randels
clarified that the intention of the developer was to pave a section of Tower Boulevard to permit
him access to his development; however, the road would have to built to City specifications and
the cost of the road, approximately $12,000, would be applied to the developer's impact fees
in the form of a credit. He further explained that the developer was willing to pave the road and
have his impact fees applied as he pulled his permits. Mr. Kancilia stated that the developer
would pay for the cost of the road and as units were built and impact fees would have been
payable, the developer would be credited for amounts already paid for paving against the
required impact fees. Mayor Salamone questioned Mr. Boucher as to which impact fees were
in discussion. Mr. Boucher explained that police, fire, parks, general government, and library
impact fees were involved.
Mr. Porter commented that years ago there had been an agreement between the City and Shuford
Mills, which Mr. Nicholas had signed as City Manager, which stated that if Shuford Mills
deeded the City the road right -of -way that the City would then pave the road. Mr. Boucher
stated that the paving funds were listed in the FY 95/96 capital improvement budget. Mr. Porter
questioned if the City had in fact signed a written agreement with Shuford Mills for the paving
of Tower Boulevard. Mayor Salamone responded affirmatively and stated that no date had been
set for the pavement of Tower Boulevard. Mr. Porter felt that the City had an obligation to
pave Tower Boulevard through its written agreement with Shuford Mills. Mayor Salamone
stated that the developer's proposal would only pave 340' of the roadway. She stated that she
was not comfortable with the idea of paving the entire roadway due to the limited of amount of
traffic on the road. Mr. Randels stated that previously there had been a strong concern of the
wastewater treatment plant employees over the damage caused to their vehicles due to the
condition of the northern section of Tower Boulevard. Mr. Bob Hoog stated that the Fire
Department used to buy fuel from the City for the fire trucks, but it had discontinued that
practice due to the condition of Tower Boulevard.
There was further discussion regarding the possibility of paving the entire length of Tower
Boulevard; the use of impact fees for the purposes so designated (library, parks, police, fire and
general government, etc.); concurrency management concerns; and the limited access to the front
of the Discovery Bay development by pavement of the 340' section of roadway. Mr. Nicholas
expressed his strong opposition to allowing the use of impact fees through the in -kind agreement
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
August 2, 1994
Page 8
and explained his reasons for same. Mr. Porter stated that he felt that Mr. Nicholas had a valid
point that the impact fees did have "names" on them such as library, parks, etc. He stated that
he did not understand Mr. Nicholas' other objections in light of Mr. Nicholas's signature on
behalf of the City on the Shuford Mills agreement. Mr. Nicholas stated that he still felt that the
City should pave Tower Boulevard; however, the City did not have the funds to pave the
roadway.
Mr. Boucher stated that he agreed that impact fees should be used for their stated purposes; but
the City had earmarked $15,000 to stabilize the east -west leg of Tower Boulevard in this year's
budget. He suggested if the City wanted to take the $15,000 and apply it toward construction
of the 340' portion of the roadway then let the developer pay the impact fees and allocate the
$15,000 for the stabilization of the roadway toward the construction of the 340' section of the
roadway. Mayor Salamone stated that it would appear that the City was paving the 340' section
only for the one developer. There was additional discussion regarding the entire Tower
Boulevard situation. Mr. Boucher suggested paving the entire roadway in accordance with the
FY 95/96 capital improvement budget after construction of the wastewater treatment plant
improvements to eliminate the possibility of damage to the new roadway by construction
vehicles.
Mr. Bob Hoog commented on the amount of gas tax revenue coming into the City and that
Tower Boulevard had been an issue for a number of years and he expressed his support of
moving forward with the pavement of Tower Boulevard. Mr. Randels distributed copies of
pertinent sections from the City's Code Book relating to impact fees. He expounded on the
purposes /uses of impact fees. Mr. Porter felt that the City should complete the road in two (2)
phases to deal with the sewer plant construction; first portion as quick as possible and the
remainder in FY 95/96.

Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Randels to approve the annual audit service
contract with Hoyman & Dobson, Inc. Mr. Nicholas stated that he wished to bid out the audit
services. He expressed that the service had not been bid out for 10 years and he wondered if
the City was receiving a reasonable rate. Mayor Salamone stated that bidding the services out
was not feasible at this time. She suggested that perhaps the contract could be bid out for FY
94/95. Mr. Randels questioned Ms. Janet Petroni of Hoyman & Dobson, Inc. if the cost
included drafting of the annual budget. She concurred that it did. Motion carried with members

Mr. Porter explained that Mr. Jim Means had agreed to assist as a volunteer and help the City's
grant writer, Mr. Bill Edins, in search of private and federal grant funds. Mr. Means was
agreeable to not being appointed to the Commercial Development Board at this time. However,
Mr. Porter recommended that the City Council retain his application and if an opportunity
should arise for another position that he be approached again. Mr. Porter also commented that
Mr. Windhorst was very experienced and would be most beneficial to the Board, as well as, Ms.
Sale who had been a member of the Equity Study Commission and was a business owner in
Cape Canaveral.
12. Citv Man ager's Report
Mr. Boucher commented that Ms. Ava Tunstall, appellate attorney for the City, had filed a brief
in the Abbott case, and he suggested that Council read the brief and he complimented Ms.
Tunstall on her work with the case to date.
Mr. Boucher stated he had spoken to Brevard County planning directors, Gary Ridenour and
Peggy Busaca, regarding the possibility of utilizing a County planner to assist with the City's
Local Planning Agency and the Commercial Development Board. The working relationship
between the City and the County looked favorable.

which had been agreeable to Mr. Vaughn.
Mr. Boucher reminded Council of the upcoming budget workshop meeting scheduled for
Monday, August 8th, at 5:30 p.m.
Mr. Boucher commented on the resolution from the Port Authority in response to the City's
resolution regarding termination of the sewage franchise agreement in the year 2000. Mr.
Berger suggested that every year the City send a friendly reminder letter to the Port reminding
them that their contract would be terminated in 2000. Mr. Nicholas added that the Port had
allocated $15,000 for engineering studies for its own plant.
Mr. Boucher announced that due to the City's Drug -Free Workplace Program the City was given

2. Mr. Kancilia noted the litigation report given to Council of all legal cases. He reported on

Mansions Condominium Association vs. the City, the hearing on the motion for summary
judgment which was originally scheduled for September 6th had been postponed until September
12th to accommodate the judge's schedule. Mr. Kancilia further summarized the status of the
Royal Mansions case.

actually a cross - claimant (third party claim). Mr. Szapor had included the City and other

suit against Mr. Szapor for default on a loan and Mr. Szapor had dragged the City and other
parties into the suit alleging defects in the title. Mr. Kancilia did not believe that the City was
a proper party to the suit and the City had moved to dismiss the case as not being appropriate
against the City.

PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to adopt Ordinance No. 20 -94 at first public
hearing. Mr. Randels stated that he was concerned with the City relaxing the present standards
for the parking of boats and recreational vehicles. He stated that the proposed change included
in the Ordinance limited the restrictions to recreational vehicles in excess of 30', thus a vehicle
under 30' could park anywhere that was not specifically excluded.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to amend the Ordinance to delete the words
"in excess of thirty (30) feet in length" from Item (i) on page 3 of the Ordinance. Mr. Randels
stated that the Ordinance would then apply to all size recreational vehicles.
Mr. Kancilia summarized the previous discussions held by the Planning & Zoning Board and
Council regarding the 30' parking restrictions. He stated that the 30' restriction originally arose
because the Planning & Zoning Board had recommended an increase from the 21' to 30'
restriction. He explained that it was thought that in R -1 and R -2 zoning there would continue
to be the same requirement for covering or screening of such vehicles and that the dividing line
for covering was when the vehicle was in excess of 30' because vehicles under 30' were not
considered to be an eyesore. There was further discussion regarding the 30' length restriction
on the parking of recreational vehicles. Mr. Randels stated that the amendment to the Ordinance
would provide that the parking limitation would apply to all boats and recreational vehicles.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mayor Salamone to amend the Ordinance to add the words
"commercially registered vehicle" after "No for -hire vehicle" in Item (h), Page 3 of the
Ordinance.

Mr. Porter questioned whether or not Lt. McGee would discuss the proposed referendum further
with Council. Mayor Salamone stated that she felt very comfortable going to the voters with
the question given the current and future budget requirements for police and fire. Mr. Randels
explained that he felt the voters needed to be adequately informed as to how the increased
millage funds were to be used. Mayor Salamone stated that it would be for two (2) additional
deputies. Mr. Randels questioned the success rates of bicycle patrols in smaller communities
such as Cape Canaveral. Lt. McGee responded that bicycle patrols were being used on Merritt
Island with good success; however, this was being done in low income areas where there were
a concentrated amount of people and it had helped tremendously in keeping unwanted persons
out of certain areas. The visibility aspect was important as well.
There was additional discussion between Lt. McGee and Council regarding the possibility of
utilizing bicycle patrols in Cape Canaveral and other policing needs within the community. Mr.
Berger questioned if the millage increases were to be fully explained in the City's newsletter.
Council supported moving up the schedule for the printing of the newsletter to allow information
regarding the referendum questions to be included in the newsletter prior to the November
election.

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Randels to adopt Ordinance No. 34 -94 at first
reading. Mr. Porter commented that he felt the matter would become a "political football ".
There was discussion regarding the proposed ballot wording and Mr. Kancilia explained the
reasons why the ballot summary needed to specify the actual nature of the change.
Mr. Porter expressed his concerns regarding the prohibition against allowing two (2) family
members to serve on two (2) separate City Boards that made recommendations to the City
Council. Mr. Kancilia stated that under the present Charter provisions on nepotism, the Council
could not appoint a relative of a Councilmember to any of its advisory boards. Under Florida
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting

Statutes, the Council could appoint a Councilmember's family member to an advisory board
provided that the particular Councilmember abstained from voting. Mr. Kancilia stated that by
adopting Florida Statutes, the Council could appoint a Councilmember's family member to an
advisory board provided that the Councilmember abstained; that same activity under the current
Charter provision would not be legal.
Mr. Porter stated that although he did not condone the tactics with which the original referendum
was passed, he did feel that some good came out of the entire matter by clearing up any
misconceptions. He stated that the City as a whole had been negatively affected by the entire
nepotism issue. Motion carried with members voting as follows:

Page 9
regarding two (2) holdouts on the beach easements. He advised that on the two (2) parcels in
question, the firm that was engaged to sue the Army Corps of Engineers had filed pleadings
against the Port trying to get the easements. Mr. Boucher had spoken to Port Commissioner
McClouth who had requested the City's assistance in attempting to persuade the two (2) holdouts
to execute the easements. Mr. Randels stated that he was scheduled to meet with the Canaveral
Towers Condominium Association. Mr. Porter suggested sending a letter to Mr. Harris of
Gray, Harris, Robinson, Kirschenbaum & Peeples, requesting his support in obtaining the
easements. Council concurred to send the letter to Mr. Harris and to copy both holdouts with
the letter as well.
Mr. Boucher stated that Karen Andreas, Brevard County Commissioner, had given him a copy
of the Attorney General's opinion regarding the Snyder and Jennings lawsuits, which had been
distributed to Council. Mayor Salamone asked that the City Attorney's opinion on the same
subject also be sent to Commissioner Andreas.
DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Nicholas questioned if the Canaveral Cab Company was back in operation within the
City. Mr. Boucher responded that the company had applied for a license /permit. Mr. Nicholas
suggested that the City keep a close watch on the operations of the company within the City.
Mayor Salamone expressed her concerns regarding the particular cab company as well.
2. Mr. Nicholas stated that in the past he had asked about getting lots mowed at the
intersection of Magnolia and Adams Avenues. He stated that other lots had been mowed, but
not the two in question and he asked that something be done about the problem.
3. Mr. Nicholas mentioned that he was concerned about the potential for one day rentals in
Ocean Oaks and he had been assured by staff that a memo had been written to the owner
advising him that rentals of less than seven (7) days were prohibited. He stated that he had a
problem with the memo because it did not specifically outline the City's Code requirements.
He advocated that the instructions to the owner be specifically outlined and explicit about the
prohibition against rentals of less than seven (7) days.
4. Mr. Porter announced that he had a meeting scheduled for Friday, September 9, 1994,
at 4:00 p.m., at the Recreation Center, with the volunteers who would be assisting the City in

1. Resolution No. 94 -41, Adopting the Tentative Millage Rate for 1994.
Mayor Salamone read the Resolution in its entirety.
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE TENTATIVE MILLAGE RATE FOR THE LEVY OF AD
VALOREM TAXES FOR 1994 ON ALL TAXABLE PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE
CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to adopt Resolution No. 94-41. Mayor
Salamone stated that she disagreed with raising the beautification and library millages for FY
94/95. She did not feel that the increases were warranted and she believed that the City should
revert back to the FY 93/94 millage rates (total of 1.3391 mills). The public hearing was
opened.
Mr. Dick McGhee, 541 Washington Avenue, stated that when the Beautification tax was first
approved by the voters he had been led to believe that the initial tax would be reduced once the
City was made "beautiful ". He questioned whether the beautification funds were becoming a
contingency fund. He spoke against tax increases in general. Mr. Randels explained that there
were plans underway for enlarging the scope of the beautification issue. Mr. Boucher showed
Mr. McGhee the outline of projects to be covered by the beautification tax. There was further
discussion regarding the use of the beautification millage and relevant projects.
Mr. Porter stated that the original concept of the referendum was not sold on a decreasing scale.
He explained that the City had a lengthy process underway toward more beautification projects,
specifically AIA and other areas in the City which needed an extensive amount of work toward
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Special City Council Meeting
September 12, 1994
Page 2
"beautification ". He advised that even with the increased beautification millage the ad valorem
taxes for FY 94/95 were lower than FY 93/94 (1.387 mill as compared to 1.4110 mill). Mr.
McGhee reiterated his objection to the increased beautification and library millages. Mayor
Salamone restated that she did not feel the increases were necessary in the upcoming fiscal year.
Mr. Berger commented that he felt it was necessary because the more the City invested in the
environment, the more the citizens would appreciate it. He supported using the funds for more
beautification projects in the upcoming fiscal year. There was discussion regarding the proposed
library millage increase as well (.0386 mill to .0425 mill).
Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Mr. Randels to amend Section 4 of Resolution No. 94 -41,
to reduce the storm drainage millage from .1821 mill to .1102 mill for FY 94/95.
Mr. Randels commented that the overall millage rate for the City (1.3870 mill) was lower than
the previous year.
Motion by Mayor Salamone to amend Sections 2 & 3 of the Resolution to change the
Beautification Dependent Special District millage from .4843 mill to .4403 mill and the Library
Dependent Special District millage from .0425 mill to .0386 mill. Motion died for lack of a
second.
The public hearing was closed as there were no additional comments from the public.

PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Randels to adopt Resolution No. 94 -42. Mayor
Salamone stated that because special revenue funds were included within the budget she had a
problem with the way the budget would be presented to the public.
Mr. Randels questioned the proposed $30,000 for a sludge dump truck in the capital
improvements portion of the budget. Mr. Boucher explained that the dump truck was not
recommended for funding. He stated that in the future the City may find it more cost effective
to purchase a dump truck rather than to continue sludge hauling by a contractor.
Mr. Randels also questioned why the extension of Ridgewood Avenue ($250,000) was still
shown on the Capital Improvements Five Year Plan. Mr. Boucher stated that this item was also
not funded and had only been included in the Five Year Plan because the extension was listed
in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Once the Comprehensive Plan was amended, the item
regarding Ridgewood Avenue extension would be removed from the Plan.
The public hearing was opened and closed as there were no further comments on the budget.

2. Discussion & Motion Re: Library expansion site plan review.
Mr. Roy Cowell, Stottler Stagg & Associates, gave a brief background of the library expansion
project and two conceptual plans, A & B, which had been presented to City and County staff, the
Library Board, and the City Council. Council had requested that the architects review other
available alternatives for parking to allow a larger amount of greenspace to remain on the subject
property.
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular City Council Meeting
September 20, 1994
Page 2
Mr. Cowell presented three (3) alternative solutions, C, D & E, and explained the concepts, and the
positive and negative aspects of each. Concept C provided for the use of Poinsetta Avenue as a
parking lot, closing the access point at Polk Avenue, with major work to be done on the east side
of the property by removing sidewalks and relocating trees. Concept D provided that Poinsetta
would still be a thoroughfare, but it visually would not give the impression of a through street due
to landscaping. It would also utilize the City Hall Annex parking lot. Concept D would require
significantly more construction including relocation of the library sign and possible storm drains.
Concept E included several small parking sections and angle parking for the staff parking lot.
Mr. Cowell stated that the library staff and the Library Board remained supportive of Concept A due
to several reasons including that the facility would be a self - contained operation with everything
controlled by the library, and the facility would not impact any outside entities. He explained that
there would be a significant increase in the cost of the project if Poinsetta Avenue were closed or
reconstructed to allow vehicle parking within the right -of -way. The utilization of any of the concepts
which involved the use of Poinsetta Avenue would require changes to the scope of services under
which Stottler Stagg had been contracted along with additional expense. Mr. Cowell commented that
there were a limited amount of funds available within the County for all of the library expansion
projects.
Mr. Joe Bisley, Brevard County Director of Facility Construction, stated that there would be an
additional cost impact from design and construction standpoints and there were limited funds set aside
for the library project. He stated that if Poinsetta Avenue was developed as a parking area, the
County's choices would be to limit the scope of the project or to have the City share in some of the
expenses with the County. Mayor Salamone questioned if the County would be willing to continue
to finance their portion of the expansion if the City agreed to develop the parking facilities along
Poinsetta Avenue and how such a change in plans would affect the timeline of the project. Mr.
Bisley stated that the first step would be to identify the difference in expenses involved, share the
information with the local and County Library Boards and ultimately present it to the County
Commission. He stated that other safety concerns needed to be addressed. He stated that the
construction would be delayed approximately 60 days with such a change in the conceptual plans.
Mr. Nicholas suggested a compromise to include placing parking only in the northern part of the
addition on the east side near the entrance off of Polk Avenue and utilizing the parking across the
street near the annex for the required number of parking spaces for the expanded building. Such a
compromise would leave the southern half of the expansion site as greenspace. There was further
discussion regarding the required number of parking spaces, possible pedestrian problems, the
number of residents and visitors who use bikes or walk to their destinations within the City, and the
general accessibility, convenience, safety and liability of the library facility.
Mayor Salamone stated that the meeting room was not used often enough to justify the expanded
parking and she favored Concept D. Mr. Berger suggested changing the angle of the building. Mr.
Nicholas commented that he was adamantly against closing Poinsetta Avenue. Mayor Salamone
asserted that Orange and Ridgewood Avenues were available for north -south traffic and that closing
one block of traffic along Poinsetta would not be a problem. Discussion continued regarding
maintaining as much greenspace as possible.
Ms. Kathy Stewart, Brevard County, stated that historically when a library was expanded it was
1 /3rd more utilized which would mean additional parking needs. She stated that the circulation had
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular City Council Meeting
September 20, 1994
Page 3
increased by 20% each month within the area and she disagreed that the parking was adequate for
the library as it currently existed. She commented that a library of the proposed size usually require
45 -70 parking spaces.
Discussion continued regarding traffic flow and pedestrian and vehicular traffic to the library. Mr.
Harry Ernst, Library Board member, questioned if there were figures available on how much the
open area near the library was used for recreational purposes. Mayor Salamone stated that no
established figures were available, but that the children did use the area consistently and she would
hate to see another concrete jungle in the area.
Mr. Kancilia left the meeting at this time; Mr. Kevin Markey, Assistant City Attorney, took his
place at the meeting.
Mayor Salamone stated that a viable compromise would be to allow the City to take back one lot east
of the facility to increase the greenspace area. She summarized the compromise by explaining that
Poinsetta Avenue would remain open, 68 parking spaces would be located on the site, the building
would remain as depicted on Concept A, and half of the requested greenspace (one lot) would be
returned to the City. Council concurred with the suggested compromise. Mr. Cowley stated that
he would provide revised site sketches to the City Manager. Mrs. Stewart advised that she would
agree with Mayor Salamone's recommendation and that overflow parking would be located across
the street from the library near the City Hall annex.
After a ten - minute break, the meeting was reconvened.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:

added words would also exclude individuals with pick -ups or cars that were registered commercially

9. Resolution No. 94 -47. Authorizing an agreement with the Brevard County Sheriff's
Department to provide municipal police services for FY 94/95.
Mayor Salamone read the title of the Resolution.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA;
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND THE CITY CLERK TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT
WITH THE BREVARD COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE MUNICIPAL
POLICE SERVICES TO THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger for approval of Resolution No. 94 -47. Mr.
Boucher explained the changes included in the contract. He stated that Page 13, Paragraph 17,
Telecommunications included a provision to place the City on notice that as of October 1, 1995, the
Sheriff's Department would be charging the City for dispatch services. Mr. Boucher stated that he
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular City Council Meeting
September 20, 1994
Page 7
objected to the provision since there were two (2) other municipalities that received the same type
of service that the City received and that Palm Bay had questioned why three (3) cities received
special treatment. Mr. Boucher commented that Cape Canaveral had a separate agreement with the
Sheriff's Department and that Palm Bay received their 911 fees for dispatch and that Cape
Canaveral's 911 fees went to the County. Mayor Salamone questioned why the provision was
included in the contract rather than sent to the City in a letter format.
Mr. Curt Jones, Brevard County Sheriffs Dept., stated that it would not be a problem to remove
the subject clause from the contract. Mr. Jones stated that some analysis could be completed to
identify applicable 911 funds as needed. He stated that .23 cents of the .50 cents charged for 911
services went to Southern Bell in direct support of the 911 equipment and lines; the balance of the
funds were spent on capital needs for the cities and for improvements to the overall equipment.
Mayor Salamone asked that the letter include figures applicable to the anticipated cost of dispatch
services.
Mr. Randels addressed his concern regarding the proposed deletion of the following text: "Deputies
shall possess a minimum of one year's law enforcement experience prior to assignments to duty
within the City". Commander Vernon Weekley stated that in the early days there were only two (2)
deputies working at the precinct and at that time the provision for deputies with more than one year's
experience was absolutely necessary. He stated that since 1978, the department had grown from six
(6) members to a 17- member department. He explained that he was not proposing transferring all
of the recruits to the Cape Canaveral precinct. Mr. Nicholas voiced his objections to the proposal
due to the amount of funds paid to the Sheriffs Department for police protection. He stated that the
City had agreed to a contract with the Sheriffs Department in order to have the best possible police
protection available.
Lt. McGee stated that deputies could not leave the Cape Canaveral precinct unless they left the
employment of the Sheriff or unless reassigned by the Sheriff after notification to the City Manager.
There was further discussion regarding the subject provision in the proposed contract. Mr. Jones
explained that there was a cost benefit to having a mixture of people with a mixed amount of tenure
and experience. Mayor Salamone questioned if the Sheriffs Department would agree to allow not
more one (1) trainee at any given time at the Cape Canaveral precinct.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to add language to the contract to provide that
the Cape Canaveral precinct would have no more than one (1) trainee at any given time. Mayor
Salamone stated that the contract price of $970,570 was lower than the FY 93/94 price of $981,800.
Mr. Nicholas questioned the deletion of the crossing guard section in the contract. Mr. Boucher
advised that Brevard County's Public Safety Department was responsible for all of the crossing
guards throughout the County who were not employed by the individual municipalities. The County
provided the necessary crossing guard training and certification. Lt. McGee stated that the deputies
would cover the school zones and would cover for the crossing guards if there was a sickness or an
emergency situation; but they would not be responsible for actual training of the guards.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Randels to amend the contract to delete paragraph 17.

consideration with regard to the requirement that deputies have a minimum of one year's experience
prior to being placed in the Cape Canaveral precinct. The item would be placed on the next Council
meeting agenda scheduled for October 4, 1994.
11. Discussion & Motion Re: Bid No 94 -03 Tower Boulevard Stabilization Project.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Randels to approve Bid No. 94 -03. Mr. Boucher
explained that the bid had been advertised to stabilize Tower Boulevard and during the bid process
Council had changed the scope of the project to pave 340' of Tower Boulevard. He stated that the
bids received were in excess of the verbal quotes received previously. Mr. Boucher recommended
that Council reject the bid to stabilize the roadway and a new bid would be let to pave the subject
roadway section. He advised that he had given Mr. Tezel a schedule for the project and that staff
had reviewed the plans and they were awaiting a response from the St. Johns River Water
Management District for a permit modification.
Mr. Ali Tezel questioned if he could do anything to expedite the permitting process. He offered to
contact St. Johns directly. Mayor Salamone stated that staff was expecting approval from St. Johns
by October 13, 1994, and she asked Mr. Boucher to contact St. Johns and verify the status of the
permit modification. Motion failed with members voting as follows:

Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Randels to re- advertise for legal services. Mayor
Salamone stated that she did not believe that Council had enough of a selection for legal services and
she felt that the advertising was not adequate. She stated that she would like to have more firms
available for consideration. Mr. Berger stated that there were not many law firms available with
municipal experience and he felt that the two (2) firms that applied were qualified. Motion failed

Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger to contract with Mr. Kohn Bennett of the firm
of Amari, Theriac & Eisenmenger to provide legal services for the next year. Mayor Salamone
stated that Mr. Bennett worked for a firm that had previously worked for the City and the firm had
resigned. She stated that she did not have any faith in the firm or the way the City was treated and
she did not feel that the firm would be a good choice for the City. Mr. Nicholas stated that Mr.
Bennett had been the City Attorney for the Planning & Zoning Board and the Board of Adjustment.
Mayor Salamone reiterated her feelings against the firm of Amari, Theriac and stated that
Councilmembers had problems with some of the firm's decisions and that their record with the City
was not good. She stated that the firm was not in the City's best interests and she would not support
the firm. Mr. Berger stated that he had personal experience with the Amari, Theriac firm and felt
that they were well qualified.
Mrs. Ann Thurm spoke in favor of the firm of Amari, Theriac and she stated that she felt anyone
could make a mistake and she did not hold the mistake against the firm. She recommended Mr.
Bennett as the City Attorney as she felt he was most cooperative and capable. Mrs. Thurm stated
that the firm had resigned under pressure. Motion failed with members voting as follows:

Mr. Randels commented that another motion would probably not pass as well. Motion by Mayor
Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to re- advertise for legal services. Mr. Boucher stated that the
current contract with Reinman, Harrell expired on September 30, 1994, and he would proceed to
make provisions to hire Mr. Kancilia or Mr. Markey on a temporary basis. Mayor Salamone stated
that Mr. Kancilia had agreed to continue until a lawyer was hired and Mr. Boucher concurred.

3. Discussion & Motion Re: Route selection for reuse system.
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular City Council Meeting
September 20, 1994
Page 10
Mr. Boucher gave a brief background on the proposed reuse system. He stated that he needed
direction from Council as to which phases of the project were to be completed initially and which
alternate route was to be selected for Phase I (main line along AIA or Poinsetta Avenue). Mr.
Nicholas questioned how much it would cost to complete the entire reuse system throughout the City
and Mr. Gary ReVoir, Hartman & Associates, responded that the full project would cost $2.8
million. There was extensive discussion regarding the following: whether the entire project should
be completed collectively or in phases, viability of installing all of the infrastructure for the system
at one time, funds available in wastewater reserve accounts, potential to have capacity shortfalls,
maintenance expenses for reuse lines that may not be utilized for a number of years, available
capacity if the Port builds its own plant and terminates its agreement with the City in the year 2000,
and the City's current interlocal agreement with Cocoa Beach for 750,000 gpd of reuse water.
Discussion continued regarding whether or not final engineering costs for the entire reuse system
were included in the current contract with Hartman & Associates. It was determined that the final
engineering costs were included within the total estimated $2.8 million cost of the complete project,
but Hartman & Associates were not designated as the engineers to complete final engineering work
for the entire project.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to put in the infrastructure necessary to
complete the entire reuse system as presented. Mr. Nicholas stated that the City could extend its
contract with Hartman & Associates to provide the engineering and design for the entire reuse
system. Mr. Berger commented that the main trunk line would run on the west side of AlA. Mayor
Salamone and Mr. Nicholas concurred with the location of the main trunk line if the City was
constructing the entire reuse system throughout the City. Mr. Randels stated that the City would be
installing a great quantity of pipes with a possibility of only 20% resident participation. Motion

City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined Workshop & Regular City Council Meeting

Page 12
terms to expire on October 1, 1996. Mr. Markey stated that Council could not reappoint Marilyn
Rigerman to the Board under the current nepotism provisions of the City Charter. Mrs. Marilyn
Rigerman stated that she believed the current law was in conflict with Florida Statutes and that since
it was in conflict it could be set aside and the resolution approved. She explained that the Zoning
Board of Adjustment was an important quasi-judicial board and that there was a short supply of
experienced members to serve on the Board. Mayor Salamone stated that Council agreed with Mrs.
Rigerman, but she would have to follow the City Attorney's opinion on the matter. Mr. Markey
stated that the Council would be voting in contrivance of its own law if it voted in favor of the
appointment.
Mrs. Ann Thurm commented on the Galbraith case decision which allowed that a Councilmember's
spouse could serve on boards without any conflict if the spouse abstained on the vote to appoint
his/her spouse to a board. She asserted that the City Charter amendment was invalid because it was
in conflict with State law.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to amend Section 1 of the Resolution to allow
that only Robert Laws be reappointed as a regular member of the Zoning Board of Adjustment with
a term to expire on October 1, 1996. Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor
Salamone, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember
Randels, For.
Motion failed on the main motion with members voting as follows:
Mayor Salamone Against
Councilmember Berger Against
Councilmember Nicholas For
Councilmember Randels Against
Mr. Berger asked for more research on the matter from the City Attorney. Mr. Nicholas stated that
as of October 1, 1994, the Board would be missing two (2) members and any decision made by the
Board required four (4) positive votes. Mrs. Rigerman stated that if the Charter provision was not
changed by the referendum that she would challenge the provision and prevail and that the City
would end up paying the associated legal costs. She encouraged everyone to vote affirmatively for
the Charter referendum in November.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to reconsider Resolution No. 94 -46 removing
Marilyn Rigerman's name from Section 1 of the Resolution. Motion carried with members voting
as follows: Mayor Salamone, for; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For;
Councilmember Randels, For. Mayor Salamone stated that Mr. Laws was reappointed to the Board.
She stated that Mrs. Rigerman had served well as a member of the Board and she hoped that she was
successful in seeing the referendum approved in November.

12. Discussio & Motion Re: Councilmember vacancy.
Mayor Salamone stated that the City had received a Division of Elections opinion and an opposite
opinion from the City Attorney regarding the Councilmember vacancy. She explained that Council
had decided that it had allowed Mr. Kancilia to request an opinion from the Florida Division of
Elections and that it would abide by their decision. Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr.
Randels to abide by the Division of Elections opinion. Mr. Nicholas asked for clarification on the
motion and Mayor Salamone stated that the motion provided that "Council appoints ".
Mrs. Thurm stated that similar situations had occurred in 1976, 1979, and 1984 and every time the
replacements were appointed and she felt that the laws were very clear. She did not understand why
the matter had been questioned and that the City had always followed the Charter and the Election
Code. Mr. Markey summarized that Mr. Kancilia's opinion was based upon a Florida Supreme
Court case that stated the opposite of the Division of Elections' opinion.
Mr. Spike Schryer stated that he was upset about Council's action because the City had notified or
solicited that there would be an election for the Councilmember position. Mayor Salamone stated
that there was a disclaimer in the notice. Mr. Schryer stated that he felt the City was in the wrong
because it was preventing the people from making the choice and he would look further into the
matter.

Resolution No 94-49 Adopting Final Millage Rate for 1994.
Mayor Salamone read the Resolution in its entirety.
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A MILLAGE RATE FOR THE LEVY OF AD VALOREM
TAXES FOR 1994 ON ALL TAXABLE PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF
CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Resolution No. 94 -49. Mayor
Salamone stated that she felt that the City should go back to last year's tax rates for the
Beautification and Library millages as she did not see a reason to increase either tax. Mr. Porter
agreed with the reduction in the proposed library tax, but he felt more discussion was needed
on the Beautification portion of the budget. Mr. Porter stated that overall, regardless of the
increases in the Beautification and Library millages, there would still be a net reduction in taxes
in the City (1.4110 mills to 1.3870 mills). Mayor Salamone questioned what projects were
planned for the increased Beautification millage. The increased Beautification millage would net
the City approximately $14,000. The public hearing was opened.
Mr. Dick McGhee, 541 Washington Avenue, objected to the proposed Beautification and Library
millages and added that he disagreed with increased millage rates without justification. Mr. Bill
Sweet agreed with Mayor Salamone in that the Beautification and Library millages should not
be increased. Mr. Sweet spoke favorably regarding the City's police and fire services and that
possibly those tax rates should be increased. He also commented that the City employees were
excellent. Mayor Salamone advised that referendums to increase the police and fire millages
from .50 to 1.0 mill for police and from .25 to .50 mill for fire were being placed on the
November election ballot and the voters would have the right to decide whether or not the
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Special City Council Meeting
September 26, 1994
Page 2
millages should be increased.
Mr. Bob Hoog spoke against increasing the Beautification and Library millages and commented
that there was $46,000 in the Beautification contingency budget. He questioned why the taxes
were proposed to be increased with no planned projects in place. Mrs. Francis Singer,
Beautification Board Chairman, explained that there were two (2) planned programs - 1) planting
of trees on the presidential streets /regreening of Cape Canaveral; and 2) xeriscape park to be
located across from the Recreation Center. Mayor Salamone stated that both projects were
already included within the budget.
Mr. Porter stated that the AIA corridor needed substantial beautification improvements. He
expressed that City funds could be doubled through the use of grants for specific beautification
projects and that funds were available through several types of grants, but most grants required
matching funds. He mentioned that $26,000 of beautification funds were doubled through a
grant ($52,000) for the tree planting project. He stated that maybe the Beautification tax did not
need to be increased during the next fiscal year, but he also advocated putting more time and
effort into preparing plans for specific projects in the next year. Specific projects for
improvements to the community would help to gain residents' support for a potential increase
to the Beautification tax next year. Mr. Porter stated that it was critical for the City to move
toward the future with needed improvements. Mayor Salamone commented that she did not
resent any funds that had been spent on Beautification in the past. She supported lowering the
tax in the years when it was not needed and raising it in the years that there were projects that
warranted the increased tax.
Mr. Berger stated that there were several Beautification projects being contemplated such as
entrance signs to both entrances along AIA. He stated that the overall taxes were not increasing
and the more beautiful the City became then the more valuable it became to its residents. He
felt that the increased millages were justified. Mr. McGhee spoke against placing more funds
in the Beautification contingency fund. Mayor Salamone reiterated that planned projects were
needed.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Porter to amend the main motion to go back to
last year's millage rate for Beautification (.4403) and Library (.0386) taxes. Mr. Sweet
commented on the conditions in the area along AIA in between Cocoa Beach and the City
(Avon -by- the -Sea). Mayor Salamone explained the goals and objectives of the Commercial
Development Board and the Local Government Cooperative Committee. Mr. Porter suggested
that the'Beautification Board prepare an actual plan to include goals to be accomplished over the
next few years and place it into the City's Five Year Capital Improvement Plan.
Mr. William Gleckner, Beautification Boardmember, questioned several line items included in
the Beautification budget. Ms. Deborah Haggerty, City Treasurer, explained the forecasting of
estimate revenues and expenditures, the proposed decrease in the Beautification and Library
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Special City Council Meeting
September 26, 1994
Page 3
millage rates, the annual City millage (tax) paid by an average homeowner in Cape Canaveral,
and that the overall tax liability of a Cape Canaveral homeowner would be lower than the
previous year.
Mayor Salamone read Resolution No. 94 -49 in its entirety due to the proposed amendment.
Section 1 of the amended Resolution now read: "The total millage for all City operating
purposes is fixed at 1.34 mills on the dollar of taxable value for the 1994 -95 fiscal year of the
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida. This millage is a 1.58% increase from the rolled back rate."
The Beautification millage rate in Section 2 was changed from .4843 mill to .4403 mill, and the
Library millage rate in Section 3 was changed from .0425 mill to .0386 mill. Mr. Porter
explained that he had re- evaluated his stance on the previously proposed millage increase and
that it was reasonable to expect a more aggressive plan for the future of beautification projects.
The public hearing was closed as there were no additional comments from the public. Motion
carried on the amended Resolution with members voting as follows:

2. Resolution No 94 -47 Authorizing an agreement with the Brevard County Sheriff's
DWartment to provide municipal police services for FY 94/95.
Mayor Salamone read the title of the Resolution.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY,
FLORIDA; AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND THE CITY CLERK TO ENTER INTO AN
AGREEMENT WITH THE BREVARD COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE
MUNICIPAL POLICE SERVICES TO THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA;
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Porter to adopt Resolution No. 94 -47 for the level
of service specified in the contract in the amount of $970,570. Mr. Boucher stated that the
Sheriff's Department had provided a revised contract to him immediately prior to the start of the
meeting. He explained that the revised contract provided that: "The Sheriff further agrees that
there will not be more than one deputy assigned to Cape Canaveral at a time with less than one
(1) year of experience". Mr. Randels stated that "not more than one (1) trainee at a time" meant
that Cape Canaveral could have a training position continuously. He wanted to also provide that
the trainee would be in addition to the regular deputies. Mr. Nicholas stated that he understood
that one (1) of the 17 deputies assigned to Cape Canaveral would be a trainee. Lt. George
McGee, Cape Canaveral Precinct, explained that the training phase was 12 -18 weeks, once
certified the officer was placed in a patrol vehicle alone. He further explained the training
program and he commented that in the event that the Cape Canaveral precinct did have an
opening then they would only be allowed to have one (1) person who had completed the training

Regular City Council Meeting

Page 3
phase who could be assigned to the Cape Canaveral precinct for a one (1) year period of time.
Mr. Porter stated that he could agree to allowing only one (1) person with less than one (1)
year's experience who would be assigned to Cape Canaveral for at least a one (1) year period.
Mr. Nicholas felt that the wording in the contract would allow a continuous training program
during the term of the contract and he did not feel that Cape Canaveral should be a training
ground for the Sheriff's Department. He advocated limiting the provision to allow one (1)
trainee only for the term of the contract. Mr. Potter, Interim City Attorney, suggested the
following change to the language: "During the term of this contract only one (1) deputy with
less than one (1) year's experience shall be assigned to duties in Cape Canaveral."
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Randels to amend the contract to include the wording
in the contract as suggested by the City Attorney. Mayor Salamone questioned why Council did
not want trainees in Cape Canaveral. Mr. Nicholas stated that the City was paying for fully
experienced deputies to be on duty at all times and he spoke against allowing the precinct to
become a training ground for all deputies. Mayor Salamone stated that the Council had
previously agreed to the language which included the words "at a time" at an earlier workshop
meeting. She stated that she did not have any problem with the language as presented in the
agreement. There was further discussion regarding the amendment and the issue of having
deputies with less than one (1) year's experience stationed in Cape Canaveral.
Lt. McGee stated that if the proposed amendment was approved he would have to obtain
approval from the Sheriff Department's administration. Mr. Porter commented that only one
(1) trainee would be allowed in Cape Canaveral and that the person would be assigned to Cape
Canaveral for one (1) full year; Lt. McGee agreed with Mr. Porter's interpretation. Motion

4. Motion Re: Contract amendment with Hartman & Associates for reuse system design of
Phases 2 & 3.
Motion by Mayor Salamone, seconded by Mr. Berger to approve Authorization No. 3 with
Hartman & Associates for the reuse system design for Phases 2 and 3 at a cost of $101,645.
Mr. Boucher advised that the public hearing for the wastewater reuse system improvements and
the State Revolving Loan funding was scheduled for November 1, 1994. Mr. Nicholas stated
that he would have liked to have more time to review the contract.
Mr. Randels spoke against the motion and he explained his reasons for same including that there
was no data available regarding how much reuse water would be used in Phase 1, no data on
how much water would be available for Phases 2 and 3, the possibility that the Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) may revoke the City's continuous wet weather discharge permit
if the City indicated that it would be utilizing all of the water for irrigation (reuse), borrowing
additional funds would cause an increase in the sewer rates for all residents, and that the City's
engineers recommended that Phase 2 & 3 be completed at later dates as the water became
available.
Mr. Nicholas stated that the contract before the Council was for the design only of Phases 2 and
3. He advocated having the full design done as one project, not piecemeal. Mr. Porter stated
that between the design and actual construction of the system many things could change that
would impact the system. Mayor Salamone commented that the rate analysis showed that
through the year 1997, it would mean an additional cost to the residents of $6.92 per year. She
stated that in 1997, the residential sewage charge would be $17.79 and currently the statewide
average was $20.94. She strongly supported designing the entire reuse system. There was a
general discussion regarding the wet weather discharge permit and the reuse system in general.
Mr. Nicholas questioned the $50,000 survey cost. Mr. Gary ReVoir, Hartman & Associates,
stated that the surveys would be completed first and foremost, everything would be based on the
existing conditions, and a lack of surveying would decrease the total quality of the design
process. He explained that there were some concessions that could be done to slightly reduce
the survey cost. Mayor Salamone stated that Authorization No. 3 included a "not to exceed

5. Motion Re: Interlocal agreement with Brevard County's Local Planning Assistance
Program
Motion by Mr. Nicholas, seconded by Mr. Berger to approve the interlocal agreement with
Brevard County for Local Planning Assistance Program to be at a rate of $20.62 per hour to
formulate the City's Comprehensive Plan update. Mr. Randels advocated that the Council
should have the ability to monitor the program and he asked for monthly progress statements.
Council concurred with Mr. Randels' request for monthly progress reports.

PRESENTATIONS /PROCLAMATIONS:

for forwarding to the Florida League of Cities.
3. Libma Expansion Project Update and Public Input presented by Brevard County.
Mr. Bill Starmer, Stottler, Stagg & Associates, Inc., distributed a library project manual and
schedule to each member of Council and staff. He stated that the schedule showed the design

scheduled for September 1995. He advised that a Program containing a thorough overview of
the goals and objectives of the new library addition which was written by many players,
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined City Council Workshop & Regular Meeting
October 18, 1994
Page 2
including County staff and Library staff, would be available for public inspection at the library.
Mr. Starmer proceeded to explain the details of the site plan concept and schematic design for
the expansion to the Cape Canaveral Library as approved by the City Council several weeks
earlier. Mr. Nicholas questioned the number of volumes of books to be provided and Mr.
Starmer stated that the number of volumes included 16,000 volumes in the children's section,
4 -6,000 in the youth section, with an overall total volume of 75- 80,000. Ms. Kathy Stewart,
Brevard County, stated that one -third of the volumes were checked out at any one time,
therefore, although the library planned to have 80,000 volumes they were not planning to have
shelving for 80,000 books. Mr. Starmer displayed schematic drawings for the site plan, floor
plan, and elevations and described improvements to the entryways.
Mrs. Anna Kelly, Library Board member, questioned the use of the Art in Public Places
program in conjunction with the library expansion, and whether or not any decisions to use
pieces of art or stained glass windows should be made in time to advise the architects before
construction began. Mr. Joe Bisley, Brevard County Director of Facility Construction, stated
that the County Commissioners had already reviewed the Art in Public Places Program and their
direction had been that the County would incorporate the funds that it could to allow for the
project within the design, such as opportunities to display artwork by adding lighting equipment
or providing alcoves to display art. There were no dedicated funds to purchase paintings or
pieces of sculpture. Mr. Starmer explained that there were several ways to incorporate art into
the facility. He stated that within the lobby area there would be a large open corridor that could
be utilized to display artwork.
Mr. Bisley stated that the next step in the process would be to meet with the Art in Public Places
committee to review the overall library expansion design to explore ideas for the inclusion of
artwork in the library. The focus of the Commission had been to have a program for rotating
artwork throughout the public facilities in Brevard County.
Resident questioned the amount of additional space to be added to the library; Mr. Starmer
stated that the addition encompassed 6,000 sq. ft. and the existing building was slightly less than
9,000 sq. ft. Mr. Starmer stated that another public meeting would be held in late November
and the site plan documents would be available for public inspection at the library.
After a ten - minute break, the meeting reconvened.

Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Mayor Salamone to adopt Ordinance No. 38 -94 at first
reading. Mr. Boucher stated that included in the agenda packet was the second revision to the
franchise agreement, subsequently there had been changes presented by Time Warner that were
included in the agenda packet as a separate document. He had come to a resolution with Time
Warner on most of the outlined changes. He stated that there were three (3) issues that still
needed to be decided including: 1) term of the agreement (10 or 15 years); 2) amount of the
surety bond ($10,000 or $50,000); and 3) inclusion of the FCC standards in the agreement or
incorporate some of the standards that were in the original draft of the agreement.
Mayor Salamone supported a 15 -year agreement. Mr. Porter did not feel that a 15 -year
agreement was necessary. Mr. Berger commented that ten (10) years may even be too long for
the agreement. Mayor Salamone stated that since the agreement was non - exclusive and Time
Warner would be spending significant funds in infrastructure and hardware it warranted a 15-
year agreement. Mr. Nicholas agreed that 15 years was possibly too long. Ms. Diane Pickett,
Time Warner, stated that Brevard County's franchise agreement with Time Warner was for 15
years and the other agreements with municipalities within the County were for 15 years as well.
She stated that there were no limitations in the agreement against improved technology. She
commented on the company's five -year plan to upgrade the system and Time Warner's track
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined City Council Workshop & Regular Meeting
October 18, 1994
Page 4
record as a leader in the cable television industry.
Mr. Boucher stated that Florida League of Cities had sent him three (3) examples of franchise
agreements that had been negotiated after the 1992 cable legislation including Bellair Park (10
years), Gulfbreeze (8 years) and Pembrook Pines (10 years). He felt the agreements reflected
the current trend for agreements of ten (10) years or less. He stated that the proposed agreement
did not include any mandated upgrades to the system; any upgrades would be at the discretion
of Time Warner.
Mayor Salamone had asked for an opener clause in the contract for the amount of the franchise
fees to allow the 3 % franchise fee to be increased at a later date if needed. Ms. Pickett stated
that the provision allowed for 90 days notice at any time during the length of the agreement to
change the amount of the franchise fee.
Ms. Pickett stated that the agreement was non - exclusive and the company hoped that there would
be opportunities to bring other services into the City. She briefly explained the situation with
the Titusville cable franchise which had been owned by TCI and Time Warner had taken over
the franchise during a corporate trade.
Mrs. Mary Winchester suggested allowing only a five (5) year agreement. Mr. Irving Krause
questioned how many cable franchises operated within Cape Canaveral; Mayor Salamone
answered that at present there was only one (1) cable company operating a franchise within Cape
Canaveral. Mr. Frances Kuhn, 102 E. Central Boulevard, commented that he had recently
moved from Titusville and he strongly favored the TCI cable system over the Time Warner
system and he advocated a short franchise agreement.
Mr. Boucher questioned if Council felt that a $10,000 surety bond offered the City adequate
protection of its interests. He stated that the surety bond needed to protect against non - payment
of franchise fees or removal of facilities within the public right -of -way. He stated that the trend
for surety bonds in other agreements had been $50,000 - 100,000. There was further discussion
regarding the amount of the surety bond.
Mr. Porter stated that Council needed to negotiate the best deal possible for Cape Canaveral
citizens and he supported a ten (10) year agreement. Mr. Nicholas mentioned the sewer
franchise agreement with the Port which had appeared to be a good agreement at the time of
negotiation and as time progressed, things had changed and the agreement was no longer as
adequate as it had been originally and he also supported a ten (10) year agreement with Time
Warner.
Mayor Salamone stated that she would not agree to the contract that evening because it had not
been presented to Council in final format. She questioned whether Council was satisfied with
the FCC standards as written. Mayor Salamone was in full agreement of utilizing the FCC
standards in the agreement rather than the performance standards that were included in the
original draft agreement. Mr. Boucher stated that he had received an opinion from Florida
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined City Council Workshop & Regular Meeting
October 18, 1994
Page 5
League of Cities (FLOC) on customer service standards and he distributed copies of the opinion
to Council and Ms. Pickett. Mr. Randels stated that the opinion stated that FCC standards were
minimum, not maximum standards. Ms. Pickett asserted that the FCC standards were very strict
and quite thorough and her company did not have problems with customer service or quality
standards. Mr. Berger commented that he had two (2) very unpleasant experiences with Time
Warner which were related to customer service. Mr. Porter stated that the FLOC opinion
showed that adoption of the FCC standards alone did not create an enforcement mechanism. He
stated that the City could adopt the FCC guidelines, but it should also include a mechanism to
enforce the guidelines. Discussion followed regarding the guidelines and the associated
enforcement mechanisms.
Mr. Nicholas questioned if the franchise agreement allowed the City the option to purchase the
cable system. Mr. Boucher stated that only in the case that Time Warner did not renew the
franchise agreement would the City have the option to purchase the system. Mr. Nicholas stated
that the same option that had been in the old agreement should he included in the new franchise
agreement. Ms. Pickett stated that the federal law regulated cable and that the franchise could
be terminated only under specific federal guidelines.
Mr. Boucher summarized the direction given by Council regarding the franchise agreement
including: 1) Council concurred with a ten (10) year term of agreement; 2) Surety bond -Mr.
Berger and Mr. Porter - $50,000 surety bond, Mayor Salamone - $10,000 surety bond; Ms.
Pickett suggested that since the franchise fees were $33,000, that the bond be $30,000 - Council
concurred with Ms. Pickett's suggestion; and 3) Inclusion of the FCC standards and Council
wanted to further review the language suggested in the original draft agreement. Mr. Boucher
stated that he had recommended that there be reporting requirements for customer standards
including the availability to review three (3) years worth of complaint records. There was
extensive discussion regarding the FCC standards, reporting requirements, settlement of
disputes, and customer performance standards. Ms. Pickett explained Time Warner's complaint
system and the computer process used by the company to change customer records, enter new
records, and schedule service calls, etc. Mr. Randels gave several examples of other franchise
agreements involving the City whereby the City received monthly activity reports of
complaints /concerns. Ms. Pickett stated that only written complaints were kept on file and that
there were no data printouts available of complaint records. She explained that Cable Data
Services prepared all the bills for Time Warner customers. Mr. Porter stated that some
technical advise was needed from Time Warner's data processing individuals regarding the
availability of data relative to complaints.
Mr. Tim Grady stated that there should be a way to access complaint data from Time Warner's
computer system and he felt that the City should have access to the information which would
prove beneficial to the City. Mayor Salamone spoke against the City managing the cable
business and that the City should not be inundated with another business's problems. Mr.
Nicholas asked that the City Manager pursue the matter further as he was interested in having
access to complaint records to allow the City some ability to monitor the amount of complaints
received. Mr. Boucher summarized that four (4) members of Council were looking for ways
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Combined City Council Workshop & Regular Meeting
October 18, 1994
Page 6
to monitor the complaints for accountability purposes. Mr. Porter stated that the City received
a 3 % franchise fee and that the City should add some value to that money and ensure that the
citizens were protected.
Mrs. Mary Winchester commented on several service glitches she had encountered with Time
Warner. Mr. Nicholas questioned if there were any provisions in the franchise agreement for
legislative changes regarding the control or operation of cable television. Mr. Boucher
commented that Section 25 dealt with re- regulation.
Mr. Porter clarified that if the ordinance failed that evening, then the ordinance died; but if the
ordinance was approved at first reading, it could be amended at the next workshop for second
reading. Motion carried with members voting as follows: Mayor Salamone, For; Mayor Pro
Tem Porter, For; Councilmember Berger, For; Councilmember Nicholas, For; Councilmember
Randels, For.

Weatherman, Executive Director of the Economic Development Commission (EDC) of East
Central Florida, Inc., stated that the EDC was embarking on a new marketing program which
emphasized industrial development and the existing industrial business base. She stated that the

Commerce and the grant required resolutions from nearby communities. The grant would
provide funding to enhance the economic development program.

Motion by Mr. Randels, seconded by Mr. Berger to adopt Ordinance No. 37 -94 at first reading.
Mr. Randels stated that out of the three (3) proposals presented, he favored Option No. 2 which
allowed for one (1) workshop and one (1) regular meeting at the beginning of the month and one
(1) combined workshop and regular meeting during the later part of the month. Mr. Nicholas
questioned why any changes to the number of meetings was necessary and he felt that Council
was limited in a constrained atmosphere during the combined meetings. Mayor Salamone stated
that during workshop meetings Council had time to fully discuss an issue, go home and think
it over, and come back ready to make a decision at the regular meeting. She felt it was in the
citizen's best interests that Council have time to argue and disagree in one session and have time
to think about the arguments before voting on issues.
Mr. Nicholas advocated continuing with the two (2) workshop meetings per month. Mr. Berger
felt that items could be staggered to allow for discussion at the beginning of the meeting. He
stated that 62 meetings per year were too many. Mr. Nicholas commented that he went to all
City Board meetings. Mr. Berger supported eliminating the workshop meetings as a way to
eliminate repetitiveness. Mayor Salamone stated that the meetings were an important part of
small City government and that citizens should have time to have a say in how the government
operated.
Mr. Berger stated that on the survey there was only one city which met more than Cape
Canaveral and that was Cocoa Beach. Mr. Randels stated that the Cocoa Beach Commission
had recently voted to eliminate workshop sessions. Mr. Berger expressed that Council and the
City could run more efficiently than 62 meetings per year. He stated Councilmembers spent
many hours of research time beyond the actual meeting time.
Mr. Porter supported continuing on with the experiment of eliminating one (1) workshop
meeting per month. Mr. Berger agreed with continuing with the experiment as well. Mr.
Nicholas described items that disturbed him regarding the current method of operations such as
time limits to bring up items at meetings when the meetings concluded at 10:00 p.m., and then
if he held the items to the next meeting the next meeting may be canceled. Mr. Randels stated
that he sometimes felt that Council rushed through the agenda and there was insufficient time
to bring up personal items.

Page 10
he was seriously thinking of returning to Titusville or Merritt Island. He spoke against paying
for services that he was not receiving such as vacant apartments being charged for sewer and
garbage charges. He stated that the City had the opportunity to determine if apartments or
buildings were vacant. Mr. Kuhn spoke at length regarding his concerns regarding City
operations, specifically the sewer /garbage collection charges. He advised that he would be
placing his property on the market for sale and moving out of the area.
DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Potter summarized the status of the City of Cape Canaveral vs. Royal Mansions lawsuit
by explaining that there had been a hearing before Judge Evander earlier in October and Judge
Evander found that the City ordinance which prohibited daily rentals was valid. Judge Evander
also made a factual determination that the units in the past had been rented for periods of less
than one (1) week. Mr. Potter felt that Judge Evander's rulings had significantly improved the
City's position and the case had been noticed for trial shortly after the first of the year.
2. Mr. Nicholas commented that the City had received a notice of a recent Brevard County
Commission meeting which included an item whereby several beachside communities were being
classified with an urban County designation. He questioned the benefits of such a designation
and whether or not the City should be interested in same.
3. Mr. Porter mentioned the benefits of debating issues publicly.

Mr. Boucher stated that Mr. Gary ReVoir, Hartman & Associates, would present an explanation
of the City's Amended Wastewater Facilities Plan, Amended Capital Financing Plan, and
Dedicated Revenue requirements for the wastewater /reuse project.
Mr. Gary ReVoir, Hartman & Associates, stated that the information presented in the Facilities
Plan was consistent with the City of Cape Canaveral's Comprehensive Plan. He stated that the
Facilities Plan was developed to support the State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan application. He
commented that in the preparation of the Plan, including the Capital Financing Plan, there were
various documents used to support and develop the Plan (listed on References attachment). Mr.
ReVoir proceeded to explain in detail each of the following items (also shown on overhead
projector to the audience):
• Cape Canaveral service area map showing entire City limits and the Port
Canaveral area;
• Existing Land Use acreages table and map, including developed and vacant acres;
• Statistics: Climate - Moderate
Soils - Good for development
Beach soils - Not suitable for development

treatment facility with some partial nutrient
removal capabilities; clarification,
chlorination, and de- chlorination prior to a
discharge into the Banana River; sludge
holding and sand drying beds to dewater the
sludge prior to hauling to the County
landfill.
• Annual Average Daily Flow Projections;
• Indian River Lagoon Act, Chapter 90 -262, Laws of Florida - required owners
of existing wastewater treatment facilities discharging into the Lagoon or its
tributaries to: cease discharging or demonstrate the need for continued discharge
by July 1, 1995, and investigate the feasibility of utilizing reclaimed water for
beneficial purposes by July 1, 1992.
• Population and Wastewater Flow Projections - included population projections
up to the year 2013 (11,750) with a projected total anticipated flow capacity of
1.705 mgd.
• Effluent disposal options - the original feasibility study submitted by Post,
Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan had recommended a wetland treatment system; the
City proceeded toward that wetland system until last year when the City was
approached by the City of Cocoa Beach to provide reuse in a bulk quantity. The
City went back and evaluated the cost effectiveness of the reuse which determined
that the maximum reuse system was more cost effective.
• Capital Cost Summary and Present Value Analysis of Reuse Alternatives;
• Wastewater Treatment Options Analysis Summary of Nutrient Removal - the Five
Stage Bardenpho nutrient removal process in combination with a maximum reuse
system was the most cost effective treatment and effluent disposal alternative.
• Effluent Parameters;
• Wastewater Treatment Options Analysis Summary - included filtration and
disinfection alternatives with continuous backwash filters and chlorination /de-
chlorination being the most cost effective methods;
• Sludge Treatment and Disposal Options Analysis Summary - evaluation of Class
A and B sludge alternatives; dewater and dispose of sludge in County landfill
being the most cost effective;

included new pretreatment structures, screening, grit removal, new AWT nutrient
removal facilities, chlorination and de- chlorination facilities for discharge to the
river, filtration and high level chlorination for reuse applications.
• Estimated Project Cost Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility Improvements - total
cost including City contribution - $4,687,276 (included loan service fee, loan
repayment reserve, capitalized interest estimate).
• Estimated Project Cost Maximum Reuse System - total cost including City
contribution - $4,995,748 (included loan service fee, loan repayment reserve,
capitalized interest estimate).

treatment system additions to achieve biological nutrient removal to AWT
levels, new clarification systems, and new filtration system;
2) Select the sludge management alternative of providing dewatering prior to
land filling; and
3) Construct reclaimed water supply, transmission and distribution system to
provide 750,000 gpd of reclaimed water to the City of Cocoa Beach
pursuant to the interlocal agreement and to maximize the use of the
remaining reclaimed water produced at the Cape Canaveral WWTP within
the City limits of the City of Cape Canaveral.
Mr. Berger questioned data included on the annual average daily flow chart. Mr. ReVoir stated
that the peak flow was in 1991 and the low flow rate was in 1993. Mr. Berger questioned if
a 10% contingency in the construction operation costs would be reasonable to cover
unanticipated expenses. Mr. ReVoir stated that the State funding was based on the 10%
contingency. Mr. Berger commented that 10% was not a realistic amount with regard to the
reuse system construction. Mr. ReVoir stated that the original estimated costs were based on
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Special City Council Meeting
November 1, 1994
Page 4
30% contingency, but conservative line item estimates were used along with the 10%
contingency to be consistent with the State.
Mr. Porter stated that Council needed to take a close look at phasing the construction of the
reuse system considering the overall estimated cost of the construction of the total system. The
public hearing was closed as there were no additional comments from the public.
2. Resolution No. 94 -57. Adopting the Amended Wastewater System Facilities Plan for the

City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
Regular City Council Meeting
November 1, 1994
Page 4
earmarked 25 % of their funds for beach renourishment in the future.
Mr. Boucher stated that with regard to the State Revolving Loan (SRF) he had received word
from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) that there had been a cut in their
federal funding and that there were no funds available for the 1995 allocation. He had inquired
as to what course of action could be taken by the City and DEP in Orlando stated that the City
could receive a nine (9) month extension to the Indian River Lagoon Act that would extend the
time limits to March 31, 1996. He stated that DEP in Tallahassee had advised that if the City
was first in line for 1996 funds, the City could start drawing on the funds in October, 1995,
which would allow six (6) months to construct the reuse system. Mr. ReVoir stated that the
reuse system could be constructed within six (6) months.
Mr. Boucher advised that Tallahassee had advised that the City should proceed with its public
hearing, process the loan application and then by December the City would have an approved
application ready for funding. He stated that he had been advised that it was not unusual for a
funding cycle to occur without at least one community forfeiting its allocation and if the City
was ready on January 1, 1995, and another community forfeited their funds, then the City would
have first right to the available funds. The City had scored 865 points for its project which
made it the highest scored City requesting funds.
Mr. Nicholas questioned if the City had to wait until 1996 to receive the funds would the interest
rate be increased and Mr. Boucher responded affirmatively based on current market trends.
There was discussion regarding the availability of sewer fund reserves. Mr. Boucher stated that
DEP had advised that legislation had been passed that gave cities who were mandated by the
Indian River Lagoon Act priority over other cities for the SRL funds. He stated that currently
the two million dollars left available in SRL funds was being distributed to three (3) communities
for planning purposes. Mr. Nicholas recommended that the City approach the Brevard County
Legislative Delegation for assistance. Mr. Boucher reiterated that DEP would give the City a
9 -month extension and Mr. Porter stated that the time would allow the City to complete a
comprehensive survey of the City to determine who would be willing to pay for and hook up
to reuse water.
DISCUSSION:
1. Mr. Berger questioned the status of the reconstruction of Lift Station No. 1. Mr. Boucher
advised that the Public Works Director felt it would be beneficial to wait until the beginning of
1995 to re -bid the project.
2. Mr. Berger commended Mr. Revoir for an excellent job in preparation of the Amended
Wastewater Facilities Plan.

3. Mr. Nicholas referenced the notice of intent to sue with regard to the road collapse on West
Central Avenue and questioned whether the City had notified its insurance company. Mr.
Boucher responded that the insurance carrier had been notified and that the insurance company
would be notifying the attorney that the City had no liability due to the road collapse being
caused by the City of Cocoa's water main break.
4. Mr. Nicholas questioned how rapidly the City was progressing with rehabilitation of the
sewer lines. Mr. Boucher stated that Mr. Gluskin was waiting for the County's bid process to
be complete because he wished to piggy -back off the County's bid.

and Energy had clearly polluted federal installations for many years and their main goal was to
restore all of the federal installations to safe conditions and clean up any contaminated
environmental sites.
Colonel Bunner stated that their goals included: 1) identification of all historic sites where
contamination existed; 2) determination of the extent and type of contamination at the sites and
assessment of the risk to human health and environment; and 3) implementation of all actions
to move or reduce the risks to human health and environment in compliance with all state and
federal statutes and regulations.

committed millions of dollars to clean-up bases across the U.S. Mr. Wright further explained
the specifics of the Restoration Advisory Board (RAB). He stated that individuals that were
interested in Base activities and what was being done to clean-up past deficiencies were invited
to volunteer for the RAB. The RAB was designed to provide a forum for discussion and public

City Manager, Building Official and the Public Works Director had each submitted their top five
(5) choices as well. He suggested that staff's recommendations also be considered when
selecting the top five (5) choices. Mayor Porter asked the City Clerk to tabulate Council and
staff's top five (5) choices while Council moved on to the next agenda item.
4. Discussion Re: City Goals, Action Plan and Mission Statement.
Mayor Porter stated that he hoped to accomplish an agreement among Council for the items
included on the City Goals and Action Plan and then hand the Plan to the City staff to determine
timelines, whether or not there where expenses associated with implementation of each item, the
potential return on any investments, and impacts /benefits of new or enhanced services. He
hoped to get an agreement in principal that evening and then turn the Plan over to staff to
complete proposed timelines, amount of funds involved, and the return on each investment to
enable Council to decide whether or not to carry out a particular program.
Mayor Porter suggested reviewing each item included in the Plan. He further explained to the
audience that the action items included in the Plan were a compilation of the following: items
from each member of Council and the City Manager; items identified during citizen participation
process of a special Council meeting held on 3/31/94; suggestions for items for potential grant
funding submitted by department heads in early 1994; and communications/City image
suggestions submitted by City Clerk. The Plan was divided into seven (7) themes including:

Public Safety; 4) Infrastructure; 5) Parks & Recreation /Culture; 6) Communications /City Image;
and 7) Grant Writing /Volunteer Programs.

quantity of vacant office buildings within the City, and the possible need for additional code
enforcement activities.

Clerk for distribution to the City Council which requested that the Council do something to
improve their neighborhood and to see "all partially constructed projects finished within a timely

Combined Workshop & Regular Council Meeting

fashion, absolutely, no later than one year from now. The situation has devalued our property
and the City has let this go on for too long." Mrs. Seymour stated that they had approached 19
of their neighbors and of the 19, 17 signed the petition. Mayor Porter stated that Goal No. 1.3
of the Action Plan provided for 'bode enforcement activities throughout City on a proactive and
cooperative basis, rather than reactive" and No. 1.3g which read "consider passage of an
ordinance to limit the amount of time buildings can be under construction without substantial
progress ". Mayor Porter stated that he had received numerous complaints regarding the same
situation during his recent election campaign. Council concurred that the buildings needed to
be finished. Mayor Porter asked, with Council's permission, for the City Attorney to work with
staff to develop an ordinance to require substantial completion of building projects within a
certain time frame. He stated that the ordinance was not intended to impact an individual who
was building their own primary residence. He also asked that Mrs. Seymour be contacted when
the matter was placed on an upcoming Council agenda.
Mr. Tom Quinn stated that when some of the permits were originally pulled the SBCCI Code
read differently than it presently did and prior Codes may have only allowed building permits
to be effective for one (1) year. Mayor Porter stated that the proposed ordinance would need
to take into consideration all future building or be adopted on a retroactive basis. He asked that
the matter be scheduled as a workshop item for the Council meeting scheduled for January 12,
1995. Mayor Porter stated that the ordinance was not to address any particular properties, but
was to used on a City -wide basis.

again. He stated that the City needed to present the bikepath plans to the
MPO to obtain their permission and potential funding for the additional
bikepaths.

Cooperative committee meeting.

property was located, that the City allocate funds to place a new entrance
sign on the subject property.
There was general discussion regarding whether or not providing street
sweeping services four (4) times per year was adequate. Council asked
the Streets Division to address the problem and provide feedback to
Council.
Mr. Randels suggested scheduling one section of the City Goals and Action Plan for each

Mayor Porter suggested that each Council member try to attend one condo association meeting
and report back to Council on whether or not they wished to continue meeting on a regularly
scheduled quarterly basis with the condo /homeowners associations throughout the City. He
asked that the City Clerk's office begin scheduling Council members' attendance at the subject
meetings on the basis of each Council member attending one meeting every three (3) months
beginning in January 1995. Council asked that the list contain only associations which actually
meet in Cape Canaveral and contain Cape Canaveral residents. Mayor Porter also mentioned
