Leisure Services Memo TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council VIA: David L.Greene,City Manager FROM: Gustavo Vergara,Leisure Services Director [initials] DATE: October 16,2014 RE: CLARIFICATION ON WALKING TRAIL PROJECT AT MANATEE SANCTUARY PARK A proposal submitted by W.M. Tumbaugh Construction provided a figure of 2,600 square yards of asphalt for this Project. After requesting clarification from Mr. Tumbaugh, he explained that square yards were used to estimate the amount of needed asphalt. He multiplied 3,000 linear feet of trail by the width, 8 feet, and divided the answer by 9 resulting in 2,600 square yards of asphalt. He apologized for any confusion and added that the amount of asphalt being used in this Project was very close,if not more,than on the just finished parking lot. The City Engineer conducted extensive research on asphalt companies/rubberized surfacing companies and recommended the use of S3 asphalt for its durability, availability and affordability. Brevard County Public Schools have standardized asphalt for all running tracks and the two newest high schools in the County, Viera and Heritage, both have asphalt tracks. Palm Bay High used to have a rubberized surface, but when that surface deteriorated, the School Board re-surfaced it with asphalt. All rubberized tracks have an asphalt base and are finished with an eighth of an inch surface applied to the finished asphalt. This rubberized finish can double the cost of the project and leave the City with the reoccurring cost of resurfacing every 5 to 10 years(similar to a tennis court). Rubberized asphalt does exist in northern and western areas where climate is extreme,but no local company sells this product W.M. Tumbaugh was the contractor on the Palm Bay High track and he expanded the track at Holy Trinity High School in Melbourne and the walking trail at Gleason Park in Indian Harbour Beach. Let us know if you need anything additional. Thank you. 1 Angela Apperson From: Kim McIntire Sent: Monday, October 20, 2014 12:57 PM To: CouncilMembers; City Attorneys Office; Department Directors Cc: David Greene Subject: FW: 8652 N Atlantic Avenue Lien Request All, FYI...

David From: Todd Morley Sent: Friday, October 17, 2014 9:58 AM To: David Greene; Angela Apperson Subject: FW: 8652 N Atlantic Avenue Lien Request David, We have had a request to remove a City Council lien reduction item from this month's meeting. Linda Ward, owner and applicant, submitted the email below. Evidently her buyer had the funds to pay the lien, but has withdrawn from the purchase. Our code provides a condition that the lien be paid within 30 days and if it is not, the City cannot consider another release for 365 days. The owner stated she does not have the money and does not want to wait a year to resubmit. She would rather let it sit as is and hope for a new offer.

He requested that the lien request be withdrawn from the City Council Agenda. This request was supposed to be presented to the City Council on October 21, 2014. However, he is not the applicant requesting the reduction of the lien. Since you applied for the lien satisfaction or reduction you must request it be removed from the City Council agenda. If your request is presented to the City Council and they accept the Code Enforcement Boards recommendation you will have thirty (30) days in which to comply with the conditions imposed by the City Council. Failure to amply will result in the automatic denial of the application for satisfaction of release of the lien. If you are denied for any reason; you will not be allowed to apply for a subsequent request for a period of one (1) year. During that time the lien may only be satisfied and released upon full payment of the lien imposed. Please respond back to me in writing or via email requesting that the application be removed from the City Council agenda for the October 21, 2014 meeting date. If you do not respond Staff will present request as submitted. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Team plants mangrove saplings at Cape Park BY RAY OSBORNE FOR FLORIDA TODAY "We had a great time, great weather, and a re- lly great cookout." member Buzz Petsos CAPE CANAVERAL -- A team of 30 volunteers called the Cape Ca- naveral Volunteer Corps came out to get their feet wet and plant 400 mangroves saplings at Mana- tee Sanctuary Park recently. Jeff Ratliff, a stormwater ad- ministrator, coordinated the pro- gram. He instructed the volun- teers on how to plant the man- grove saplings using short pieces of PVC piping. Ratliff explained that this proj- ect would help stop riverside ero- sion by restorting these native plants from the areas where the foreign Brazilian peppers had been recently removed. Man- groves provide a habitat for young fish. Mangroves grow slowly, but previous plants that were planted eight years ago are flourishing along the Banana River Shoreline. Among the volunteers were some students from the Key Club of Cocoa beach High School. Jane Heyes, 18, said: "We are very glad we could help the envi- ronment in the community by coming out on a Saturday morn- ing to plant mangroves." City council member Buzz Pet sos ensured everybody had re- freshments. "We had a great tiem, great weather, and a really great cook- out," he said. "We even had one of the former mayors, John Porter, break a sweat cooking the hot dogs!" The plan is to have similar com- munity events every two months. 2007 ARTICLE 25K TREE CITY
