the individual responsible for interpreting the codes and that the codes were to be enforced in
the way that they were written. Mr. Nicholas believed that the Building Official needed to be
the sole interpreter of the ordinances and by amending the ordinance, Council was subjecting
the Building Official to outside influence and pressure to interpret the ordinance the way
someone else perceived. Mr. Kancilia advised that the City should not have one individual in
the position to potentially bind the City by that persons' decision/interpretation. Motion carried

NEW BUSINESS:
1. Motion Re: Authorization for City 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
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 & Precourt,
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 Salamone For
Mayor Pro Tem Porter Abstained
Councilmember Berger For
Councilmember Nicholas For
Councilmember Randels For
Motion carried on the main motion with members voting as follows:
Mayor Salamone For

Councilmember Berger For

Councilmember Randels For
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
I

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
follows:
Mayor Salamone For
Mayor Pro Tem Porter For
Councilmember Berger For
Councilmember Nicholas For
Councilmember Randels Abstained
Mayor Salamone asked the City Attorney to aggressively pursue legal action aimed at
reimbursing the City for its expenses.
6. Resolution No. 94 -03, Approving the final pl t of Cape Gardens.
Mayor Salamone read the title of the Resolution.

7. City Manager's Report.
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
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 A1A 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
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).

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 A1A 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
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.
