9 MEMORANDUM July 8, 2016 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Mark K. Ryan, City Manager July 12, 2016 Regular City Council Meeting The following is my report for council s regular meeting of July 12, 2016 A. ACTION ITEMS 1. Acknowledgement of the City Manager s Proposed FY Annual Operating Budget and Establishment of the Annual Budget Public Hearings On or before the July 12, 2016 you should receive an electronic copy of the City Manager s Proposed FY Annual Operating Budget. Additionally, Florida Statutes Chapter provides that municipalities, counties and school boards must hold two public hearings on their proposed annual budgets. Additionally, this statute requires municipalities to avoid holding public hearings on their proposed annual budget on the same date that either the local school board or county government holds public hearings on their respective budgets. The City has been advised the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners will have public hearings in conflict with the regularly scheduled City of Indian Harbour Beach City Council meetings in September. Therefore, I would ask that you take the following actions. a. Acknowledge receipt of the City Manager s Proposed FY Annual Operating Budget b. Approve the first Public Hearing for the FY Proposed Operating Budget, Tuesday, September 6, 2016 for adoption of a Tentative Operating Budget and Tentative Operating Millage. c. Approve the second and final Public Hearing for the FY Proposed Operating Budget and the Final Adoption of an Operating Millage Rate on Tuesday, September 20, Note: State law also prohibits the commencement of any public hearing on local government budgets prior to 5:00 p.m. Also, I would like to request a City Council Workshop to review the City Manager s Proposed Budget. I am proposing the workshop be held on Tuesday, July 26 th prior to the regularly scheduled City Council Meeting.

10 June 28, City Manager s Report Regular City Council Meeting 2. Proposed Paver Stone Sidewalk Policy Implementation At the June 28 th City Council Meeting the Indian Harbour Beach City Council approved amending the regulations to allow paver stone driveways to pass through public sidewalks. The current prohibition is contained in Article XV, Sec. 2 (c) of the Zoning Code. Attached is a DRAFT copy of an ordinance implementing this change in policy. The proposed ordinance provides that at Right-of-Way Use Permit, along with a Building Permit is required. These pavers would be placed on pour concrete meeting certain specifications. Also, we are attempting to provide language in the Right-of-Way Permit that the applicant (property owner) executes a maintenance agreement and insurance requirement. Subject to approval by of this language the executed Right-of Way Use Permit in the public record so that subsequent owners are on notice of these requirement. I have received the following comments or suggestions from Council Member Nickle. The width of the crossing area subject to the additional base requirements should be 5 feet. I know many of our existing sidewalks are only 4 feet wide, but at some point, adjacent sidewalk replacements will be 5 feet wide. Pavers used should be the thicker version (3 ½ I think), not the thin version which is more likely to crack and fail. We should consider requiring delineation of the crossing area in the form of straight lines of rectangular pavers on edge, 5 feet apart. This will define the crossing areas. In reference to these suggestions Staff has the following observations. Retrofitting older subdivisions with wider sidewalks is challenging, costly, and may be precluded by smaller right-of-ways. If a five (5) feet side sidewalk area is placed in the paver driveway it will taper back to four (4) feet outside of the driveway. Thicker pavers will reduce the potential for cracks or failures in the public sidewalk area. From a Building Department perspective, the issue is will the pavers be install in a manner that prevents them from popping up. The use of a delineation paver will become an aesthetic issue, an issue the city does not currently regulate, and may become objectionable by the homeowner. Staff is seeking direction and any other comments for incorporating into this proposed ordinance. 7/8/16 12:53 PM

11 June 28, City Manager s Report Regular City Council Meeting B. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 1. Mid-Reach Beach Nourishment Project On Tuesday, July 12 th the Brevard County Board of Commissioners will consider beach nourishment project in Indian Harbour Beach, Satellite Beach and areas to the south. The County Commissioners will consider a 50-year commitment to work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the $551 million project, which includes a 7.8-mile section of beach from the Pineda Causeway south to Flug Avenue. The project partnership agreement commitment and partial funding from the Tourist Development Tax is supplemented with money from the federal government and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Twenty-five percent of the tourist development tax is specifically designated for beach projects. We anticipate opposition to this agenda item from individuals who would like to re-direct these funds to the cleanup of the Indian River Lagoon. It is my understanding the Tourism Development tax beach improvement fund can only be used within a river or lake if done to preserve or improve a beach/shoreline within that water body in order to promote tourism. It cannot be used for general water quality improvement efforts within the lagoon. The City of Indian Harbour Beach has certainly made the cleanup of the lagoon a priority. The City Council has not taken a position on whether to forego the Mid-Reach Beach Nourishment Project. Although I was not managing this community in 2004 after the series of hurricanes hit Brevard County I am aware of damage to the beach in both Indian Harbour Beach and Satellite Beach. It is my understanding following these storm events homes were lost and roads nearly undermined. I have been told the parking lot/street end at Bicentennial Park was undermined and a sidewalk fell onto the beach. At the Indian Harbour Beach Club, erosion reached within 6 feet of the building and the pool area was undermined Florida League of Cities Annual Conference August 18-20, 2016 The 2016 Florida League of Cities Annual Conference will be held on August 18-20, 2016 at the Diplomat Resort in Hollywood, Florida. Shauna Hume, Executive Assistant has distributed the registration packet to the members electronically. Please inform staff if you would like to attend, and we will process your registration. 3. Ethics Training for Elected Officials As you are aware, the Florida Legislature in 2014 passed legislation requiring elected officials to take four hours of ethics training each calendar year beginning in /8/16 12:53 PM

12 June 28, City Manager s Report Regular City Council Meeting The City of Satellite Beach will host an Ethics Training program on Monday, August 15, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. Please let City Clerk Debbie Maliska know as soon as possible if you will be attending this program. 4. Beach Park Restrooms Update The contractor, Jobear Contracting, Inc., continues to work on site clearing and pad preparation for the new permanent restrooms at the Bicentennial and Millennium Beach Parks. The pre-fab concrete restrooms from CXT are scheduled to arrive mid to late July. 5. Oars and Paddles Park Update The transfer of Oars and Paddles Park to the City of Indian Harbour Beach occurred on July 1, Todd Scaldo, Public Works Director and his team have begun an aggressive maintenance program to enhance the appearance of the park. Congratulations to Mr. Scaldo and his team for their hard work on this project. 6. Space Coast League of Cities Indian River Lagoon Sub-Committee The Space Coast League of Cities has created an Indian River Lagoon Sub-Committee to develop strategies that communities can implement to help in the cleanup of the Indian River Lagoon. This sub-committee is modeling our initiative to request home improvement centers and hardware stores that may sell fertilizers to display a flyer informing consumers that the application of fertilizers containing nitrogen and phosphorous may not be applied from June 1 st to October 1 st. Additionally, the committee is utilizing our community outreach through a post card mailing in May of the fertilizer regulations. a. Special Meetings NA b. Upcoming Events Summertime Fertilizer Ban to assist in the preservation of the Indian River Lagoon from stormwater runoff with nitrogen and phosphorous from fertilizers Space Coast League of Cities Meeting Florida League of Cities Legislative Policy Committee Meeting Florida League of Cities Annual Conference June 1 st September 30th Monday, July 11, 2016 at the Eau Gallie Yacht Club 6:30 p.m.; 7:00 p.m. August 18, 2016, Diplomat Resort in Hollywood, Florida August 18-20, 2016, Diplomat Resort in Hollywood, Florida 7/8/16 12:53 PM

PANICOLA, MAYOR ATTEST: DEBORAH MALISKA, CMC CITY CLERK First Reading: Second Reading:

15 City of Indian Harbour Beach Staff Report City Council Agenda Item First Reading Ordinance No Calling for a Referendum Election to Amend the City Charter; Providing Six Ballot Questions Pertaining to: 1) The Civil Service Provisions, 2) Purchasing Requirements, 3) Certification of Municipal Elections, 4) Ordinance Adoption Procedures, 5) Height of Weeds and Grass Regulations, 6) Provide Alternative Candidate Qualifying Procedures. Meeting Date: July Staff Recommendation: Approve on first reading Ordinance No , calling for a referendum election to amend the City Charter; providing six ballot questions pertaining to: 1) the Civil Service provisions, 2) purchasing requirements, 3) certification of municipal elections, 4) ordinance adoption proceedures, 5) height of weeds and grass regulations, and 6) provide alternative candidate qualifying procedures. Background Information: At the May 24, 2106, City Council Meeting Staff received direction to develop an ordinance calling for a Referendum Election during the November General Election providing four ballot questions to amend the City s Charter. These amendments are outlined as follows: 1) A proposal to amend the City Charter to repeal the Civil Service provisions for Police Officers due to conflicts with state law. This amendment, if approved by the voters, would repeal Article XIII, Section 3 related to the civil service provisions. The City s Charter investigation powers of Police Officers appears to be preempted by state law and it is in direct conflict with sections and , is unenforceable and should not be used for any police officer investigation and the provisions of Chapter 112 must be utilized. 2) A proposal to amend the City Charter related to purchasing requirements. Currently the Charter provides that purchases in excess of $3,000 and not part of a public bid requires City Council approval. If approved by the voters, this amendment would change the purchasing components of the Charter to the Category Two threshold as provided for in Section Florida Statutes, as

16 amended from time to time. This amendment would retain the 4/5 vote of the City Council to sole source purchase goods and services in excess of this threshold. 3) A proposal to amend the City Charter related to the certification of municipal elections. The current Charter language conflicts with Florida law by requiring newly elected City Council Members to take office 3 days following the election and certifying the election results at that time. Again, this Charter provision conflicts with state law and is prior to the conclusion of overseas ballot deadlines. This initiative, if approved by the voters, provide the newly elected City Council Members will take office at the next City Council Meeting following the certification of the election by the Supervisor of Elections. 4) A proposal to amend the City Charter related to the adoption of municipal ordinances. If approved by the voters, this amendment would change the advertising requirements for public hearings for ordinances to conform to Florida law. The current provision of the Charter requires an advertisement fourteen (14) days prior to the public hearing, while Florida Statutes Chapter provides that the advertisement must be ten (10) days prior to the public hearing. The current provision requires the public hearing advertisement the day after the City Council reads the ordinance on first reading. If changes are made to the ordinance on first reading that requires changes to the advertisement, there is no opportunity to amend the advertisement prior to publication. Since that meeting, Staff has had discussions with the City Attorney to add a fifth ballot question removing conflicting requirements for the height of weeds and grass and a sixth question providing alternative candidate qualifying procedures in the City Charter. In reference to the fifth ballot question the City Charter provides that the height of weeds and grass cannot exceed four (4) inches in height, while the Code of Ordinances provides that the height of grass cannot exceed eight (8) inches in height. This proposal would eliminate the conflicting language in the Charter and provide the height of weeds and grass regulations would be contained in the Code of Ordinances. The sixth ballot question provides an alternative qualifying procedure for candidates for the City Council as allowed by Florida Statutes Chapter Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval on first reading of Ordinance No calling for a referendum election to amend the City Charter; provding six ballot questions pertaining to: 1) the Civil Service provisions, 2) purchasing requirements, 3) certification of municipal elections, 4) ordinance adoption proceedures, 5) height of weeds and grass regulations, 6) provide alternate candidate qualifying procedures.

Sec Civil service system for police officers. (A) POWERS AND DUTIES OF CIVIL SERVICE BOARD.

(8) Resignation pending appeal. The acceptance by the Chief of Police of the resignation of the appellant prior to the filing of the findings of fact by the Complaint Review Board will be considered a withdrawal of both the appeal and the charges and specifications. The separation of the appellant shall, in such event, be documented as a resignation, and all appeal proceedings shall be dismissed without judgment. Any permanent employee who is dismissed for misconduct or who resigns while charges are pending shall not be eligible for re-employment in the Police Department. (E) INITIATION OF ACTION BY CIVIL SERVICE BOARD.
