NEW BUSINESS A. Action Item: Transfer of Haverty Court Temporary Debris Site (Sanitation Division) to Haverty Court Stormwater Treatment Site (Stormwater Division) (Public Works Department) City Manager Fettrow explained that the Public Works Department is requesting that the temporary debris site, which was purchased in 2015 and is located on Haverty Court, be repurposed as a stormwater treatment site. The property was originally purchased with Sanitation funds for the purpose of storing excess debris from major storm events prior to transporting it to the Brevard County Landfill. Since the site has never been used for this purpose, it is recommended that the property be converted into a stormwater treatment site to be engineered and

12 ROCKLEDGE CITY COUNCIL Page 8 of 10 REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 18, 2018 permitted for nutrient load removal to the Indian River Lagoon. The conversion would also provide for an increase in the City s TMDL credits, as well as for fill material for City projects. The City Attorney has indicated that an appraisal for this transaction is not required. If Council approves the conversion, the amount of $204, would be transferred from the Stormwater Enterprise Fund to the Sanitation Enterprise Fund. Discussion ensued with regard to potentially relocating the Public Works Complex to this area. It was noted that there are still several properties available under the City s ownership to the south of this particular site. To date, an alternate temporary debris site has not been chosen because the debris from the most recent storm events was transported directly to the landfill. A contingency plan for a new temporary debris site was discussed. Councilman Forester moved to approve the conversion of the Haverty Court Temporary Debris Site to the Haverty Court Stormwater Treatment Site and to authorize Staff to make the appropriate transfer between the respective enterprise funds; seconded by Councilman Hartselle. The motion passed without objection (6). B. Action Item: Emergency Repairs to Collapsed Plant Lift Station Manhole (Wastewater Treatment Department) City Manager Fettrow explained that, on June 20, 2018, a key manhole at the Wastewater Treatment Facility collapsed on itself, which caused extensive damage to pipes and pumps at the Plant lift station. The failure of the manhole interrupted the Wastewater Treatment Facility s ability to produce reclaimed water and precluded other significant Plant operations. After evaluating the damage, Staff determined that the project was beyond the capability of the Department s equipment and manpower. Because the repairs were deemed to be of an emergency nature, the decision was made to contact Atlantic Development of Cocoa to make the emergency repairs under their continuing services agreement dated March 1, The total cost of the project is $96, Councilman Ferguson moved to approve the invoice from Atlantic Development of Cocoa in the amount of $96, for the requisite emergency repairs to the collapsed Wastewater Treatment Plant lift station manhole; seconded by Councilman Daski. The motion passed unanimously (6). 12. PETITIONS, REMONSTRANCES, AND COMMUNICATIONS Janet Monaco, 1123 Serengeti Way, inquired as to whether there were any plans to expand retail construction in the City. Mayor Price indicated that most retail/commercial construction that is occurring already has a use attached to it but that there are existing properties available on Barton Boulevard, which is in the Community Redevelopment District. 13. REPORTS A. City Manager Reports City Manager Fettrow: o Reported that the City received a letter from the Florida Water & Pollution Control Operators Association (FW&PCOA) stating that the City of

13 ROCKLEDGE CITY COUNCIL Page 9 of 10 REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JULY 18, 2018 Rockledge Wastewater Treatment and Water Reclamation Facility has been selected to receive the FW&PCOA 2017 Safety Award in the Distribution/Collection Combined category. o Requested guidance from Council with regard to the Heritage Foundation, the City s only 501(c)(3). Council expressed willingness to appoint new board members and indicated that the Foundation should continue to exist. The City Manager and the City Attorney will work toward amending the by-laws and devising a new structure for the Foundation and bring a plan back to Council at a subsequent meeting. o Indicated that the full Council Budget Workshop is on August 1, 2018, at 5:30 p.m.; the Workshop s start time is satisfactory for Council members. o Requested approval to declare a local state of emergency, should one become necessary, with verbal confirmation from Council members. Such action would then be ratified at a future meeting of Council. There was consensus that this was an acceptable approach. It was also noted that the local (municipal) state of emergency carries no weight; the official emergency declaration comes from Brevard County, but it gives the residents a certain sense of reassurance. B. City Attorney Litigation Report Month of July 2018 Councilman Daski moved to be in receipt of the City Attorney Litigation Report dated July 1, 2018; seconded by Councilman Ferguson. The motion passed unanimously (6). C. Reports from the Dais Councilman Hartselle offered positive comments on the Independence Day Picnic and evening festivities, the ribbon cutting for Beachy Nutrition, and the Space Coast League of Cities dinner.

WHEREAS, Florida s voters placed municipal Home Rule powers into the Florida Constitution on November 5, 1968, during the regular election as an amendment to Article VIII; and WHEREAS, this constitutional power has enabled each city, town and village across the Sunshine State to consider, adopt, revise or remove its own laws without the need to seek legislative permission from the state and has further served as the foundation upon which every municipality builds its governmental structure; and WHEREAS, various initiatives have been presented that dispute the right of municipalities to exercise Home Rule authority; and WHEREAS, grassroots measures declaring that local decisions be made at the local level by local officials must continue so that officials at all levels of government clearly understand Florida s Home Rule as a constitutional power and one that is upheld in state statutes; and 1 of 3

48 WHEREAS, the 50 th anniversary of Home Rule is a fitting time for all municipalities to engage their respective citizens and to educate them about the Florida Constitution and local laws, so that all Floridians may continue to receive the many benefits of Home Rule. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROCKLEDGE, FLORIDA: SECTION 1. That the 50 th anniversary of Home Rule presents a tremendous opportunity to educate all citizens about Florida s Constitution, municipal government and Home Rule authority. SECTION 2.
