A

Thank
you
karen
good
evening
council.
So
before
we
begin,
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
know
in
recent
years,
if
we
can
claim
any
success
in
the
parks
department,
it's
down
to
the
excellent
employees
that
we've
been
able
to
hire
people
that
are
passionate
about
what
they
do,
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
work
at
our
great
city
and
come
with
a
great
skill
set,
and
tonight
I
want
to
introduce
council
to
our
latest
member.
B
That's
molly,
aliga
molly
is
officially
office
administrator
here
and
part
of
her
duties
are
going
to
be
running
the
cemetery
looking
at
grant
funding
and
generally
just
helping
us
be
better.
You
know
at
what
we
do
administratively
and
tonight
she's
going
to
talk
to
council
about
our
honoree
street
designation
program
so
over
to
molly.
C
Hi
good
evening,
okay,
so,
as
you
know,
the
honorary
street
name
designation
policy
was
adopted
in
august
of
last
year
and
it
was
created
to
afford
the
opportunity
for
citizens
to
honor
deceased
individuals
who
made
significant
contributions
to
jacksonville
beach.
C
E
Thank
you
vice
mayor,
so
I
had
it.
I
just
had
a
question.
Molly
welcome!
Welcome
to
the
team.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
thank
you
for
all
that
you're
doing,
and
so
just
remind
me,
because
I
think
in
our
in
what
we
passed
and
this
it
may
cover
this,
but
with
the
fallen
wartime
veterans.
Is
there
anything
that
we
require
the
applicants
to
do
that?
Just
provides
additional
information
that
would
show
that
you
know.
Yes,
they
lived
in
jacks
beach
or
their
connection
to
jacks
beach.
C
Well,
since
we
haven't
had
any
applications
before
this
we're
kind
of
working
on
the
fly,
but
we
do
have
on
the
applications
where
they
resided
in
jacksonville
beach,
and
there
was
another
piece
of
the
application
that
also
improved
their
military
presence
and
that
they
were
killed
in
action.
E
C
And
that
is
that's
for
that's
the
policy
for
everyone
veteran
or
not,.
F
My
question,
you
said
it's
for
falling
veterans
like
world
war
ii
and
vietnam.
What
about
is
it
also
for
those
that
serve
in
operation
and
freedom
and
all
those
okay.
C
Yes,
the
applications
that
we
received
specifically
were
world
war
ii
or
vietnam
this
time
around,
but
it's
any
combat
period
for
the
us
at
any
point
in
time,.
E
Hey
just
real
quick,
I
can't
I
can't
bring
my
hand
down
for
some
reason
I
don't
have
the
icon
anymore.
Does.
Is
everybody
else
in
the
seeing
the
same
thing
or
is
it
just
me.
G
D
A
D
A
D
G
E
D
About
the
cost
of
installation,
I
know
you
said
if
they
supply
the
sign
that
it
would
be,
it
would
be.
We
wouldn't
charge
the
400,
but
I
guess
there
is
a
cost
of
installation
and
how
do
we
make
sure
that
the
signs
are
all
going
to
be
exactly
the
same
if
we're
that
they're
going
to
the
exact
same
vendor
and
they're
all
they're,
all
in
conformance
with
each
other.
C
D
D
C
B
So
vice
mayor,
yes,
we
in
our
initial
when
we
developed
the
policy,
we
worked
with
public
works
and
we
did
make
some
inquiries
as
to
the
cost
of
the
sign.
The
400
was
actually
an
amount
we
came
about.
That
would
replace
one
sign
during
the
term,
so
it
covered
the
maintenance
of
the
sign.
If
you
will
it
didn't
cover
the
installation,
because
public
works
was
going
to
do
that.
D
Okay-
and
I
guess
if,
if
we
put
them
up
so
it's
only
going
to
be
on
one
street
sign,
so
if
there's
a
street
that
has
multiple
intersections,
is
it
going
to
be
on
multiples?
Is
it
going
to
be
on
the
signs
throughout
the
street
signs
throughout
that
whole
corridor,
or
only
on
one
location,
and
I
guess
my
other
question
is
if
they're
damaged
or
stolen
who's
responsible
for
replacing
them.
A
B
No,
the
policy
stipulates
that
we
would
only
allow
on
one
one
location
for
the
entire
street,
so
we
couldn't
have
multiple
signs
all
along
the
street
who's
responsible
for
when
they
get
damaged.
That
was
what
we
incorporated
with
the
400
charge,
so
we
work
with
the
fallen
veterans
to
let
them
know
if
the
sign
is
damaged
or
need
replacing
since
they
provided
it,
they
would
provide
a
new
sign.
D
Okay
and
so
that
that
term
was
for
five
years
so
now,
if
we're
looking
at
a
indefinite
period
for
that
sign,
it
seems
like
there
would
be
multiple
replacements
every
every
couple
years.
H
Real
real,
quick,
I
guess
councilmember
nichols
kind
of
brought
up.
My
point
is,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
consistent
signs.
That's
that's
important,
I'm
fine
if
the
applicant
provides
them,
but
as
long
as
they're
consistent,
I
don't
want
eight
vendors
supplying
the
signs,
because
then
there's
gonna
be
a
huge
level
of
inconsistency.
H
I
know
you
said
that
you
require
some
military
proof.
I
would
just
like
to
make
sure
that's
buttoned
up
because
of
all
the
instances
of
stolen
valor
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
have
good
proof
and
last
is
there
it
just
it
might
be.
H
This
might
be
a
hard
one
to
answer,
since
we
don't
have
counsel
right
now,
but
with
waving
the
letter
of
consent
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
nothing
negative
could
come
back
if
we
put
a
sign
up
with
somebody's
name
and
then
the
family
finds
out
about
it
through
an
eighth
party
and
they
become
upset
that
they
were
not
contacted.
So
I
have
a
little
bit
of
hesitation
on
that
one,
but
that's
that
would
be
it.
C
Yes,
so
this
is
about
the
memorial
tree
and
bench
program
and
that
was
adopted
in
december
of
2019
and
was
provided
to
offer
the
opportunity
for
the
public
to
offer
tribute
to
remember
beloved
individuals
or
pets.
Or
what
have
you
recently?
We
received
a
request
to
place
a
memorial
bench
on
the
beach.
C
However,
for
our
current
policy,
there
are
only
11
approved
locations
within
the
jacksonville
city,
beach
parks
for
this
program.
So
we
looked
into
it.
I
know
there's
a
bench
in
atlantic
beach
and
we
spoke
to
them
and
they
currently
do
not
have
a
formal
program
that
provides
support
for
putting
benches
on
the
beach
they're
all
either
on
the
west
side
of
the
dunes
or
in
their
designated
parks,
and
the
dep
also
has
a
statute
saying
that
we
can't
place
any
permanent
structures
on
the
beach.
C
So
we're
just
looking
for
direction
to
see
if
we
should
amend
our
current
policy
to
add
locations,
including
the
beach
access
points
on
the
west
side
of
the
dunes.
And
if
so,
should
we
limit
how
many
per
access
point
and
so
on.
G
Yeah
I've
been
in
touch
with
this
individual
and
he's
very
passionate
about
this,
and
I
did
contact
atlantic
beach
as
well,
and
really
they
don't
have
that's
not
their
policy.
G
G
I
also
discussed
with
him
that
I
would
float
the
idea
with
all
of
you
about,
and
this
is
something
that
there
would
be
a
there's.
Definitely
a
cost
involved
with
this
piece
is
having
bet
his
concern.
Is
he
really
wants
to
be
able
to
see
the
ocean
from
the
bench
in
the
honor
of
his
son,
and
so
we
are
in
the
process
of
redoing
those
dune
walkovers.
G
So
if
there
are
some
areas
that
we
could
put
a
bench
on
the
walk
over
like
a
little
bump
out,
so
there
could
be
seating
on
the
dune
walkover.
So
he
could
you
know
somebody
who
decides
to
pay
to
have
that
bench.
Memorialized
would
still
be
able
to
see
the
ocean.
That
said,
that
would
definitely
be
an
increased
cost
to
the
beach
walkover
and
we
to
the
dune,
walkovers
and
so
we'd
need
to
get
a
costing.
G
D
I
think
if
you
know,
if
you
can
see
the
ocean
and-
and
I
guess
there's
a
there's-
a
rationale
for
that,
but
you
know
at
the
couple
of
the
areas
that
I'm
thinking
of
that
are
not
at
end
zones
that
it
really
doesn't
make
a
lot
of.
It
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
have
a
seating
place
there,
just
because
people
are
just
gonna
pile
stuff
when
they're
walking
to
the
beach
or
walking
back.
D
If
you
can
figure
out
a
way
to
where
you
can
see
the
beach,
I
might
be
open
to
the.
To
that
I
mean
I
don't
mind
the
the
modification
to
the
to
to
new
walk
dune
walkovers
in
the
future.
I
think
that's
that's
not
a
bad
idea
and
then
you
could
put
a
little
plaque
on
it
or
something,
but
there
definitely
would
be
a
pretty
substantial
cost
to
doing
that,
and
I
guess
the
people
that
were
wanting
to
do
it
would
have
to
kind
of
maybe
incur
those
costs.
D
G
I
appreciate
what
you're
your
point
and
where
you
are
you,
your
access
wouldn't
be
a
place
for
events,
there's
no
there's
no
room
for
one,
the
areas
that
we'd
look
at
for
the
bench.
There
are
five
or
six
in
south
jacks
beach
that
have
plenty
of
land
to
be
able
to
accommodate
almost
like
a
mini
park.
So
as
people
get
off
the
beach,
they
can
just
gather
up
their
stuff
brush
off
the
sand.
Chet
knows
a
lot
of
those
areas.
Well,
so
it's
that
not
those
single
walk,
overs,
that's
just
a
sidewalk.
H
Yeah
I
actually
drove
by
today
on
my
way
to
lunch.
I
took
the
scooter
which
I'm
sure
some
of
y'all
above,
but
I
think
it's
36
then
like
31st
or
so
right
in
there.
I
I
can't
remember
now
30th
thank
you,
there's
there's
space
and
I
think
I
would
be
open
to
considering
benches
there.
H
The
the
pr,
the
issue
that
I
see
if
we
were
to
do
something
on
the
walkovers
is
that
it
would
have
to
be
done
so
far
in
advance
of
time
for
somebody
to
pay
for
the
additional
bench
space
on
the
walkover,
and
then
we've
already
got
a
plan
to
redo
them.
So
then
what
happens
three
years
from
now,
four
years
from
now,
when
we've
done
the
walk,
overs
and
somebody
says-
oh,
I
want
to
put
a
bench
well
now
he
he's
not
able
to
so
now.
It
kind
of
creates
an
unfair
situation.
H
If
you
have
one
person
who
did
it
and
maybe
didn't,
but
I
think
if
we
came
up
with
a
list
of
like
30th
and
36th
and
some
of
those
where
we
could
allow
benches,
I
I
think
that
would
actually
be
a
positive
thing.
So
I
think
we'd
have
to
have
specific
ones
and
then
we'd
have
to
really
decide
which
ones
those
would
be.
But
I
definitely
don't
like
the
end
zones
and
I
don't
think
you
can
say
no
more
than
25.
H
I
think
you
have
to
say
specific
accesses
that
would
be
allowed
and
right
off
the
top
of
the
head.
The
two
that
we
just
mentioned
would
be
it,
but
we'd
have
to
have
a
specific
list.
D
No,
I
I
agree
with
being
very
specific
about
it
and
not
do
a
car
launch
kind
of
deal.
E
Thank
you.
I
so
I've
seen
some
benches
that
neptune
beach
has
put
on
the
west
side
of
the
dunes.
You
can't
really
see
the
ocean
from
there
in
atlantic
beach.
It's
really
kind
of
unique,
because
the
place
where
atlantic
beach
has
benches
on
the
west
side
of
the
dune,
it's
in
the
northern
part
of
atlantic
beach,
where
the,
where
it's
very
elevated
and
they
have
like,
maybe
six
benches,
there
kind
of
staggered,
but
all
those
benches
can
act.
E
They
have
a
view
of
the
ocean
and
I
guess
georgette,
since
this
is
something
that
you've
looked
into
more.
I
just
don't
know,
do
we
have,
I
don't
I'm
not
sure
that
we
have
any
locations
that
have
that
kind
of
elevation
on
the
west
side
of
the
dune
do
do
we
do
you
know
not.
G
E
Yeah
well
and
that's
the
challenge
because,
for
example,
in
neptune
beach,
the
benches
that
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
dune
renourishment
has
gone
really
well
there
and
it's
it's
unbelievable.
How
high
the
dune
is
now
and-
and
you
possibly
could
have
seen
the
ocean
at
one
time
from
the
bench
there.
So
I
mean
I
agree
with
everyone
else
that
I
think
it
really
needs.
We
need
to
identify
some
very
specific
locations
where
they
can
go
and
yeah.
I
Sorry,
I'm
I'm
here,
but
I'm
not
going
to
turn
my
camera
on,
but
so
I
can
tell
you
that
we've
got
three
of
the
adas
that
we
have
completely
done
now
and
we
have
eight
more
that
we
have
the
designs
completed
for
that
we
will
start
building
in
at
the
end
of
turtle
season.
So
obviously
we're
not
going
to
start
in
the
next
six
days,
but
we
will
be
starting
november
1.
so
to
change.
I
Any
of
those
would
almost
be
an
act
of
congress
at
this
point
in
time,
simply
because
those
are
all
at
dep
permitting,
so
the
plans
could
not
probably
realistically
be
changed
on
those
eight
beyond
those
specific
11
that
I'm
just
talking
about
right
now,
which
are
the
three
that
are
done
and
the
eight
that
are
scheduled
to
be
done.
This
fall.
I
We
could
begin
to
include
that
as
part
of
the
design
parameters
to
know
that
that
you
know
we
wanted
it
bumped
out
at
the
top
on
the
flat
part
to
incorporate
one
two
three
benches
I
mean
I
don't
know
that
that
would
be
beyond
the
design
in
some
places
keep
in
mind
in
some
places
we
have
a
very
limited
footprint
as
to
how
wide
we
can
cross
that
dune.
I
Some
of
these
are
10
foot
like
chet
was
talking
about
just
would
not
be
really
possible
to
put
a
platform
without
being
outside
of
our
easement,
but
I
think
that's
something
we
could
look
at
coordinating
and
and
putting
into
the
engineering
specs
going
forward.
If
that's,
if
that's
the
direction
that
the
council
would
like
to
go,
we
could
do
that.
I
The
same
thing
that
mr
fatis
is
doing
with
the
the
park
benches
elsewhere
too,
we
could
always
incorporate
placing
the
benches
without
the
name
tags
on
them
and
then
later
on,
as
people
adopted
them,
you
know
add
the
name
tag
to
them.
You
know
so
that,
because
obviously
we
don't
want
to
build
a
big
decking
area
and
then
not
have
the
benches
to
put
in
there
regardless.
E
Well,
you
know,
and
I
want
to
say
that
one
of
the
walkovers
in
neptune
beach-
it
might
be
the
hopkins
street
one
in
the
you
know
how
they
cut
back
the
walkovers
cut
back
in
the
cut
back
of
the
of
this
one.
They
I
believe
in
that
end
they
do
have
like
a
little
platform
for
some
seating,
so
people
can
sit
there
in
that
little
turn
in
the
turn
of
the
walk
over.
E
G
That's
more
online
with
what
I
was
thinking
of
not
installing
benches,
on
a
platform
but
having
a
little
built-in
seat.
That
would
have
a
plaque
on
it,
but
I
don't
know
what
the
cost
differential
would
be
and
the
city
would
have
to
take
that
up
front
and
then
have
the
money
later
on.
If
somebody
wishes
to
memorialize
and
have
the
plaque,
and
so
before
we
have
staff
go
out
and
get
the
cost
analysis
of
how
what's
the
differential
between
the
straight
walkover
and
the
one
with
the
seating
area
we
need.
I
need.
G
E
You
know
what
it
would
involve
and
what
it
would,
what
it
would
cost,
maybe
to
add
that
bench
at
the
end
you
know
in
the
like,
I
said
in
the
turn
in
the
cutback
area
of
the
of
the
walkover,
because
that
seems
like
a
really
really
reasonable
place
to
put
put
it
and
we
could
we
could
potentially
do
I
love
what
dennis
said
go
ahead
and
put
some
in
and
then,
if
somebody
wants
to
memorialize
somebody,
then
you
know,
then
that
location
is
is
available.
E
I
would
like
that
idea,
the
other.
The
only
other
question
that
I
had
is
what
about
oceanfront
park?
Are
there
any
locations
in
oceanfront
park,
because
I
know
we've
got
the
veterans
memorial
there
seems
like
and
we've
got
benches
there,
and
you
know
I
know
we
chose
that
location
because
you
know
it
is
so
close
to
the
ocean,
not
sure
that.
C
To
look
into
that
and
go
to
each
of
the
access
points
and
identify
which
ones
would
be
better
for
benches
to
be
placed
there.
Ultimately,
our
plan
is
to
have
not
only
you
know,
west
side
access
points
identified.
C
D
C
There
right
now,
under
the
current
policy
we've
had
11
benches
adopted
in
the
last
week.
I've
had
one
three
and
one
bench
adopted.
I
think
that
we'll
be
getting
more
traction
soon,
because
I'm
working
with
jacob
on
marketing
this
program,
so
we're
gonna,
breathe
some
life
into
it.
C
Sure
are
trevor's
working
with
richard
from
the
tree
commission
on
that.
A
C
Yeah
yeah,
he
is,
I
got
to
meet
him
this
week
and
yep
they're
going
to
help
identify
the
best
native
trees
per
park
and
where
we
can
place
them
where
it
will
be
the
most
successful
for
us
and
aesthetically
pleasing.
F
Yes
to
answer
counselor
sandy
goatee,
I
think
the
only
access
point
where
you
have
a
similar
view
to
the
one
you're
talking
about
in
atlantic
beach
on
19th
street.
I
want
to
say
it's
right
on
seagate.
F
I
think
it's
what
18th
or
19th
whatever
avenue
on
the
north
end
of
jacksonville
there's
a
big
drop,
and
I
know
cars
usually
drop
their
jet
skis
out
there
and
that's
the
only
access
point
I
could
think
of
where
a
bench
might
be
adequate
as
to
what
you
were
talking
about
with
the
with
the
it
has
the
the
ocean
view
and
everything.
E
F
A
Anyone
else
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
raised.
Anyone
have
any
additional
comments.
Okay,
so
it
sounds
like
in
terms
of
direction.
You
all
are
asking
for
some
additional
information
as
to
the
new
locations
and
various
other
components
of
the
proposed
expansion
of
the
project.
G
And
possible
cost
different
difference
how
much
if
we
were
to
do
the
do
not
walk
over
ones?
What
would
be
the
cost
difference?
I
guess
between
a
platform,
one
one
that
just
has
a
seating
area
built
into
a
walk
over
versus
just
a
regular
walk-over.
I
I
would
I
would
make
one
additional
quick
comment
and
try
to
defer
away
from
incorporating
a
wooden
bench
as
part
of
the
construction
design
process,
and
I
think
mainly
aimed
at
the
ongoing
maintenance
and
the
issues
we
already
have
with
screws
popping
up
and
splinters
and
whatnot.
I
My
desire
would
be,
even
if
it
is
at
the
at
the
at
the
turnaround
area,
to
incorporate
a
place
for
jason
to
still
utilize
one
of
the
metal
benches
that
he
is
installing
to
have
those
installed
so
that
we
do
kind
of
maintain
a
uniformity
amongst
his
program,
not
to
try
to
minimize
costs
or
have
somebody
say
well,
you
know
I
can
do
a
wooden
one
at
the
beach
in
for
half
the
price.
So
that's
what
I
want
to
do,
but
then
that's
got
way
more
maintenance
involved
in
it.
I
So
I
can
pursue
both
ways
to
try
to
look
forward.
I
don't
know
if
I
can
come
up
with
a
cost
differential
for
altering
the
walk
overs
based
on
it,
because
it
would
have
to
kind
of
almost
just
be
the
design
from
the
very
beginning
that
says
we
are
going
to
want
to
try
to
incorporate
these
at
particular
locations
or
at
every
single
crossover
so
that
we
got
a
design
as
we
design
eight
of
these
every
single
year.
We
can
incorporate
that,
but
that
would
be
my
two
cents.
A
Okay,
thank
you
dennis.
I
think
that
staff
has
the
direction
we
need.
Okay,
thank
you.
Next
item
on
the
agenda
is
hugonite
tennis,
center
jason.
B
So,
to
give
a
bit
of
more
background
to
what
we
provided
in
the
memorandum
a
couple
of
years
ago,
council
approved
the
construction
of
an
eighth
tennis
court.
At
that
time
we
assumed
that
we
could
replace
the
current
basketball
court
with
that
eighth
tennis
court
and
we
received
a
lot
of
feedback
to
say
that
basketball
court
was
heavily
used
and
for
us
not
to
do
that.
B
B
Ultimately,
they,
the
community
did
not
want
to
impede
the
footprint
or
take
away
green
space,
and
so
we
looked
at
the
problem
and
thought:
how
do
we
solve
the
eighth
court?
The
need
for
the
eighth
court
and
we've
come
up
with
a
solution
that
says
if
we
can
increase
the
hours
at
the
tennis
center,
we
can
accommodate
the
demand
for
that
capacity,
and
I
just
want
to
explain
to
council
why
you
know
the
the
the
capacity
is
the
the
need
for
the
capacity
rather
is
there
it's
not
so
much.
B
The
programs
at
the
at
the
center
have
grown
to
where
we've
got
increasingly
more
teams,
and
so
what
we
have
in
the
morning,
hours
from
9
until
12
is
a
lot
of
match
play
where
the
teams
play
and
so
for
the
teams
to
practice.
They
would
come
in
the
evenings
and
that's
when
we
don't
have
the
capacity.
B
B
We're
asking
council
a
if
you
agree
with
that
and
not
do
the
construction
of
the
eighth
court
and
rather
increase
the
hours
to
do.
That
would
require
an
amendment
to
the
recently
adopted
code
of
ordinances.
Chapter
20,
specifically
that
codifies
the
hours
of
operation,
and
so
we're
asking
council
a
if
you
agree
with
increasing
the
hours
at
the
tennessee
and
b.
That
can
be
accommodated
by
an
amendment
to
the
code
of
ordinances
such
that,
instead
of
coming
back
by
ordinance
to
amend
any
hours
the
it
would
simply
be
modified.
B
So
that
council
could
approve
any
change
in
hours.
In
the.
E
Jason,
so
help
me
understand
with
the
tennis
center.
How
is
that
financially?
How?
How
does
the
tennis
center
stand?
You
know
you
know
like
the
golf
course
we
know
the
golf
course
is
doing
well,
you
know
the
the
golfers
they're
their.
What
they
pay
helps
to
cover
the
cost
of
everything.
So
you
know
with
the
tennis
center
will,
with
the
additional
hours
will
there
will
the
tennis
players
be
paying
to
play
these
additional
hours?
And
how
does
that?
E
B
So
cancer
golding
to
compare
the
golf
course
to
the
tennis
center
is,
is
a
different
comparisons
like
apples
to
oranges.
Only
because
the
golf
course
is
operated
on
an
enterprise
fund
and
it
is
intended
to
pay
for
itself,
whereas
the
tennis
center
is
operated
through
the
general
fund.
Our
goal,
ultimately,
is
to
reduce
the
deficit.
B
G
Thank
you
along
the
same
lines
with
sandy,
so
if
we
are,
if
we
need
to
extend
the
hours
into
the
morning
and
pay
for
somebody
to
be
there,
that
doesn't
that
just
mean
more
people
are
playing,
and
I
don't
know
how
the
fee
structure
works
with
this
tennis,
the
tennis
leagues,
do
they
play
a
pay,
a
flat
rate?
Do
they
pay
per
round,
not
sure
how
that
structure
works.
B
B
B
That
gives
tennis
lessons
and
from
those
lessons
the
city
receives
a
percentage
of
the
fee,
but
how
the
hours
are
not
going
to
increase
the
number
of
players.
It's
just
going
to
give
the
demand
satisfied
the
demand
for
those
teams
that
won
practice
hours,
so
those
teams
have
already
played
paid
their
roster
fee
for
the
season
and
they're
limited
in
the
practice
hours
by
the
availability
of
the
courts,
and
so
by
increasing
the
hours
gives
them
more
availability
to
the
court
to
court
time.
G
Okay,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
figuring
out
a
way
to
not
build
an
eighth
tennis
court
by
changing
that,
by
adding
two
hours
to
the
day,
the
neighbors
really
appreciate
it.
The
basketball
players
really
appreciate
it
so
well
done
there.
A
B
A
H
Jason
before
you
pop
off,
I've
got
a
quick
question:
have
you
gotten
feedback
from
the
teams
on
whether
this
two
hours
in
the
morning
is
going
to
satisfy
their
practice
time.
B
The
other
thing
that
we
are
going
to
do-
that's
not
in
the
memorandum
is
allow
more
hours
in
the
winter
time
during
the
peak
hours
of
noon,
so
to
speak
because,
right
now
you
know
the
the
center
closes
at
12
and
opens
at
three.
So
without
any
court
attendant,
we
would
allow
access
to
those
courts
on
the
east
side
and
that
wouldn't
be
a
burden
on
any
cost
to
us,
but
will
give
them
more
playing
time.
H
And
second
question
is:
I
know
that
there
was
a
lot
of
community
involvement
in
wanting
to
to
get
this
passed,
but
is
the
community
okay,
with
the
additional
noise
from
the
tennis
at
seven
a.m,
as
opposed
to
nine?
Because
is
anybody
that's
been
around
the
tennis
court?
Knows
it's
not
the
quietest
of
sports,
so
just
wanted
to
follow
up
with
that.
B
So
the
community
to
answer
your
question
councillor
stokes
is
yes.
We
collaborated
with
them
with
and
they're
in
agreement
that
this
this
should
work,
but
in
terms
of
the
noise
we'd
have
to
wait
and
see.
I
do
know
that
there
are
some
people
around
there
that
have
complained
that
beach
rakers
start
too
early
in
the
morning.
So
that
may
be
a
problem,
but
hopefully
we
can
come
up
with
a
solution
if
it
is
thank
you.
A
A
We,
if
for
those
of
you
who
participated
in
the
process
in
2019,
we
are
presenting
in
this
memo
a
similar
process
whereby
the
city
manager
and
I
will
review
all
of
the
candidates
who
apply
and
screen
for
minimum
qualifications
only
which
is
graduation
with
a
juris,
doctorate
degree
florida
bar
association,
active
membership
in
the
florida
bar
and
a
minimum
of
10
years,
total
municipal
experience
or
five
years
as
long
as
it
is
specific
to
florida.
Municipal
attorney
experience.
A
So
we
would
then
present
to
you
all
of
the
candidates
who
meet
those
qualifications,
and
then
you
all
will
will
hold
a
special
counsel
meeting
to
review
those
candidates
and
select
from
those
candidates,
the
ones
that
you
would
like
to
bring
in,
for
you
could
select
to
do
either
virtual
interviews
or
face-to-face
interviews,
or
you
could
give
us
direction
to
go
back
out
and
re-advertise
or
to
extend
the
the
post.
The
job
posting
out
further.
A
As
a
group
in
a
public
interview,
a
public
meeting
that
would
be
observed
and
attended
by
the
public
and
then
from
that
point
we
would
enter
into
negotiations,
and
that
is
where,
along
with
the
interview
and
the
candidate
screening
process,
we
really
are
asking
for
some
guidance
from
council.
As
to
how
you
would
like
to
manage
those
negotiations.
G
Does
our
new
hr
person
have
experience
with
attorney
city
attorney
contracts?
I
don't
know
what
her
background
her
his
or
her
background
is.
A
Her
background
she
starts
on
may
3rd.
She
starts
this
coming
monday.
I
don't
know
how
much
experience
she
has
in
actually
negotiating
those
contracts.
A
G
E
I
would
just
say
that
I
felt
that
the
process
that
we
used
when
we
hired
mr
ambrosio
as
far
as
the
interview
process,
that
I
was
you
know
I
was
fine
with
that,
and
I
you
know
that's
pretty
much
what
you've
proposed.
So
I
just
want
to
give
you
that
feedback.
E
I
did
want
to
comment
about
the
negotiation
piece,
the
imla,
which
is
the
international
municipal
lawyers
association.
They
have
a
model
employment
agreement
for
city
attorneys,
and
this
is
something
that
I
you
probably
remember
karen.
I
pulled
it
up
back
when
we
were
hiring
chris
and
shared
it
with
mr
vogel
saying
and
made
some
suggestions
based
on
some
of
the
things
that
were
mentioned
in
that,
and
I
was
going
back
through
it
and
I
found
that
they
had.
E
They
had
a
section
that
talks
about
the
agreement
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
this
information.
Real
quick,
because
maybe
this
will
help
us
in
our
discussion
on
this.
But
it
says
this
agreement
creates
an
attorney-client
relationship
and
should
be
governed
by
the
lawyers
rules
of
professional
conduct
or
such
other
ethical
guidelines
as
have
been
adopted
in
the
state.
E
Then,
in
a
case
involving
the
attorney
for
the
city
of
miami,
a
florida
court
concluded
that
the
city
attorney
had
a
duty
to
advise
the
governing
board
to
seek
independent
advice
while
renegotiating
his
contract.
That
court
also
found
that
the
resulting
agreement
was
ambiguous
and
not
clearly
explained
to
the
governing
body.
So
imla
recommends
that
the
governing
body
seek
legal
counsel
to
conduct
an
independent
review
of
an
agreement
to
hire
its
attorney,
just
as
it
should
in
negotiating
and
adopting
contracts
with
its
other
officials.
E
So
my
thinking
is
that
if
we
get
into
a
situation
where
this
attorney
that
we're
trying
to
hire
is
proposing
some
things
that
are
outside
of
the
agreement
that
we
had
with
mr
ambrosio
that
I
feel
like
we
may
be
in
a
better
position
if
we
have
outside
legal
counsel
to
advise
us
on
any
you
know
and
and
help
us
through
that
negotiation
process.
So
I'm
just
basing
that
off
of
you
know
the
recommendation
from
imla.
A
Okay
thanks
councillor
mays.
F
Yes,
councilmember
godan
took
the
words
out
of
my
mouth,
but
I
agree
with
her.
That's
it.
D
The
last
contract,
the
council
member,
at
the
time
that
negotiated
it
was
a-
I
mean,
he's
an
attorney
as
well,
and
you
know
I
feel
like
the
it
was
pretty
good.
I
have
no
problem
with
another
attorney,
I
mean
obviously
we'll
have
we
have.
We
have
contracts
with
with
multiple
that
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
somebody
reviewing
it.
D
The
city
attorney
does
work
directly
for
the
city
council
and
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
conflict
of
interest
and
stuff
with
if
the
city
manager
is
going
to
be
involved,
I'm
not
completely
opposed
with
hr
being
evolved
a
little
bit
and
maybe
you,
but
I
think
somebody
on
council
really
needs
to
take
the
lead
with
that
negotiation.
Just
to
keep
it
a
little
bit
separate.
A
G
I
am,
I
agree
with
corey
that
it's
awkward
for
mike
to
do
it
because
mike's
not
hiring
that
individual
so
that
it
ends
up
being
a
weird
dynamic
there.
G
G
We've
all
done
well,
a
lot
of
us
have
done
contracts
before,
but
not
a
legal,
not
a
legal
employment
contract.
D
A
D
D
I
gotcha
we
have
a
good
base
to
go
by,
but
I,
but
I
mean
I
don't
want
somebody
from
the
outside,
especially
an
outside
attorney
necessarily
taking
the
lead
on
it.
I
don't.
I
don't
not
opposed
to
them
being
involved
and
reviewing
it
to
make
sure
it's
a
legal
process
and
it
meets
the
standards
once
we
get
somewhere
on
it.
But
I
I
think
that
the
I
don't
want
somebody
outside
really
necessarily
doing
the
full
negotiations.
G
A
So
I
I
am
hearing,
I
think,
a
consensus
that
we
we
would
want
to
engage
an
outside
attorney
for
legal
advice
on
the
on
the
employment
agreement,
and
we
certainly
have
a
couple
of
very
capable
employment
lawyers
on
not
on
retainer,
but
that
we
have
agreements
with
currently
that
we
could
make
a
recommendation
to
council.
If
that's
what
you
always
wish
to
do.
But
it
sounds
like
we
don't
yet
have
a
consensus
on
who
the?
D
Sure-
and
I
think
we
can
pursue,
I
think
we
can
do
it
in
a
step-by-step
process.
I
think
you
know
doing
the
employment
doing
the
interviews
and
then,
when
there's
other
you
know
we
can
address
the
other
issue
when
it
gets
closer
and
we
can
have
a
better
understanding
of
it.
A
Okay-
and
I
would
suggest,
regardless
of
what
you
all
decide
to
do
in
that
respect-
I
you
we.
It
will
require
some
interaction
with
with
staff,
obviously,
and
our
new
hr
director
being
so
new
that
I
am
more
than
willing
to
to
participate
in
that
process,
in
whichever
whatever
capacity
council
would
like
me
to
okay.
E
Yeah
yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
you,
you
kind
of
you,
hit
the
point
that
I
was
going
to
make
that
the
new
hr
director,
you
know,
might
be
a
little
a
little
too
new.
I
would
be
comfortable
with
you
taking
on,
because
you've
done
a
lot
of
you
know
a
lot
of
negotiations
in
the
past
and
you're.
Pretty.
A
I
will
whatever
council
asked
and
whatever
you
all
agree
in
terms
of
the
process
we'll
I
will
work
with
with
you
all
and
we'll
we'll
make
it
work,
but
as
councillor
nichols
said,
we
don't
have
to
make
those
decisions
today.
A
It
does
sound
like
you
all,
would
be
comfortable
with
an
outside
attorney
agree
reviewing
the
contract,
which
totally
support
that
so
so
we'll
revisit
as
we
move
through
the
process
until
council
is
comfortable
that
you
all
have
a
process
that
will
work
for
you.
A
The
next
item
number
five
on
the
memo,
relates
to
the
employment
agreement.
This
is
just
for
your
consideration.
A
Again,
no
decisions
have
to
be
made
today,
but
we
are
suggesting
that
council
may
want
to
make
changes
to
that
employment
agreement
in
terms
of
annual
evaluation
termination
processes
in
corporation
of
the
code
of
ethics,
which
was
not
in
effect
when
the
last
agreement
was
entered
into.
A
But
specifically,
we
have
some
recommendations
that
we
would
like
for
you
all
to
to
look
at
and
consider
section.
Five
of
the
previous
employment
agreement
is
now
in
conflict
with
the
new
amended
city
charters.
So
we
we
would
need
to
look
at
that
carefully.
That
deals
with
the
termination
process
and
then
section
10
of
the
agreement.
A
We
have
an
opt-out
provision
in
our
general
employees,
pension
plan
for
department,
heads
and
city
administration,
they're
able
to
opt
out
the
last,
the
previous
agreement
and
and
other
agreements
for
city
manager
and
department
heads
before
it
offered
a
choice
for
the
employee.
If
they
opt
out
to
have
that
money
either
go
into
a
deferred
compensation
plan
or
into
a
private
bank
account
for
your
consideration.
We
want
to
point
out
that,
if
it's
going
from
the
beginning
into
a
private
bank
account,
it
is
not
deferred
compensation.
A
It
is
then
an
additional
pay
which
increases
the
amount
of
their
effectively
increases
the
amount
of
their
salary,
it's
taxable
income
and
where,
for
our
department,
directors
coming
in,
we
have
changed
that
to
require
that
the
money,
if
they
opt
out
of
the
pension
plan,
we
require
it
to
go
into
our
457
deferred
compensation
plan
until
that
plan.
A
Unless
that
plan
is
maxed
out
within
a
calendar
year
and
then
the
remainder
can
go
into
a
bank
account
of
their
choice,
we
just
feel
that
that
is
more
consistent
with
the
benefit
that
we're
providing
to
all
of
the
other
employees
and
those
who
do
not
opt
out
of
the
pension
plan.
They're
receiving
deferred
compensation.
A
And
other
than
that,
I
think
we
have
enough
to
at
least
move
forward.
You
all
are
comfortable
with
the
screening
process
and
we
would
we'll
move
through
that
and
then
schedule
that
first
meeting
and
then
we
can
further
discuss
at
that
meeting
how
we
go
into
the
next
steps.
Okay,.
E
Hey
karen,
I
just
had
I
just
had
a
comment
I
was.
I
wanted
to
mention
that
I
do
support
all
the
recommendations
that
that
you
guys
are
making,
and
you
know
I
I
just
wanted
for
the
sake
of
the
new
council
members,
the
the
agreement
required
that
the
city
attorney
attend
some
of
our
board
meetings
like
the
planning
commission
meetings.
E
E
The
issue
with
the
planning
commission
meetings
is
that
oftentimes
there
are.
There
is
an
attorney
there
representing
the
applicant,
that's
going
before
the
planning
commission
and
our
planning
commission
members.
If
we
don't
have
our
own
attorney
there.
Our
planning
commission
members
are
at
a
disadvantage
and
we've
run
into
issues,
especially
because
a
lot
of
land
regulations
go
through
the
planning.
Commission.
E
We've
ended
up
in
situations
where
we've
had
legal
challenges,
and
I
I
still
think
that
it's
important
that
we
to
begin
with
that,
we
asked
that
city,
the
the
city
attorney
that
we
hire
to
plan
to
go
to
the
planning
commission
meetings,
in
addition
to
the
city
council
meetings,
and
then
you
know,
I
I
don't
know
about
the
other
meetings.
I
think
planning
commission
at
a
minimum.
E
So
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
the
new
council
members
just
so
that
you
could
put
that
on
your
radar
and
at
least
be
thinking
about
it.
I
personally
spoke
with
some
of
the
planning
commission
members
in
the
past
and
they've
all
expressed
how
it
helped
them
a
lot
having
the
city
attorney
at
the
planning
commission
meetings,
because
if
there
were
ever
any
questions
they
had
somebody
that
could
answer
those
questions
and,
like
I
said
before,
I
think
it's.
E
D
G
We
voted
on
that
contract,
not
the
new
contract,
so
that's
something
that
we
can
discuss
when
we
are
in
negotiations
for
the
new
contract.
The
only
challenge
that
may
happen
is
planning
commission
is
on
the
second
and
fourth
mondays
of
the
month,
and
our
briefings
are
on
the
second
and
fourth
mondays
of
the
month.
The
flip
side
is
planning,
commission
is
at
seven
and
our
briefings
start
at
5
30.
So
if
we
get
done
by
seven,
the
attorney
can
just
slide
on
over
into
the
planning
commission
meeting.
D
A
Okay,
counselor
golding
is
your
hand
still
up
or
okay.
E
Yeah
well-
and
I
we
discussed
this
before
and
I
know
councilmember
dumont
served
on
the
planning
commission
and
I
think
the
challenge
vice
mayor
is
just
that.
You
may
think
that
the
city
attorney
may
think
that
there's
not
anything.
That
would
be
a
concern,
but
then
in
the
meeting
there
could
be.
E
You
know
there
could
be
something
that
comes
up.
So
it's
it's
it's
a
I
I
I
find
that
it
could
be
challenging
for
a
city
attorney
to
potentially
you
know
have
have
that
kind
of.
I
don't
know,
and
you
know
know
if
there's
going
to
be
an
issue
that
comes
up
at
the
meeting.
So
that's
that's
my
only
comment.
I
wanted
to
add.
D
A
Okay,
I
see
no
other
hands
raised,
so
I
think
that
gives
us
enough
direction
to
at
least
get
through
the
first
few
steps
of
the
process,
and
that
brings
us
to
future
briefing
topics
which
is
is
for
you
all.
If
you
have
anyone
has
any
any
suggestions,
anything
you
want
to
bring
up
and
see
if
there's
a
consensus
among
council
councillor,
golding.
E
This
is
not
a
new
item,
but
just
a
question
because
the
last
time,
the
last
time
we
had
this,
I
this
topic
on
the
agenda.
I
brought
up
the
dune
protection
that
coach
brown
wanted
to
work
with
us
on,
and
my
understanding
was
that
that
would
be
brought
before
before
us
at
a
future
briefing.
So
do
we
know
what
date
that
that
may
be
coming
before
us?
That
is
scheduled.
A
For
the
may,
10th
briefing,
okay,
thank
you,
okay,
and
we
also
have
from
from
I
think
previous
recommendations.
We
are
discussing
the
beach
marine
potential
project
on
may
24th.
H
Do
we
have
one
about
a
doc
issue
coming
up
on
in
may,
I
was
told
a
while
back
that
we
should
have
one
coming
up.
H
Yeah
somebody's
got
a
dock
that
they
that
they're
working
with
trying
to
get
built
and
there's
an
issue
about
it
being
partly
on
our
land.
So
they
need
an
easement
and
they
were
told
by
mike
that
it
would
be
on
a
may
briefing.
I
think
the
may
10th
briefing.
Maybe
I'd
have
to
dig
back
through
my
emails
to
find
it.
But
I
was
told
it
was
going
to
be
on
a
briefing.
E
So
chet
I've
been
talking
to
mike
about
that,
because
the
citizen
that
spoke
to
you
spoke
to
me
as
well
about
that
and
it's
not
about
a
doc.
Specifically
it's
about
dredging
grudging
yeah.
They
want
they
want
to
dredge
a
channel,
and
this
is,
I
wasn't
going
to
bring
it
up
tonight
because
karen
has
not
been
in
the
loop.
I
don't
think,
and
I
don't
think
that
she
knows
what's
going
on
with
that-
and
I've
been
talking
to
mike.
E
So
I
was
hoping
that
it
could
be
brought
up
whenever
mike
was
on
the
briefing
but
yeah.
So
my
it
is
not.
It
is
not
going
to
be
coming
up
on
may
10th,
because
mike
feels
that
it's
something
that
the
that
the
city
council,
it's
a
policy
decision
for
the
city
council
and
he
he
would
prefer
that
this
come
that
this
be
discussed
after
we've
done
some
strategic
planning,
okay
and
just
to
explain
to
the
rest
of
the
council.
This
there
is
a
marsh
land
that
city
of
jacksonville
beach
property.
E
That
would
be
impacted
by
this
by
this
dredging
that
the
citizens
would
like
to
do,
and
so
that's
why
mike
feels
that
it
needs
to
be
a
policy
directive
from
the
council.
H
Yeah
and
that's
why
I
was
thinking
that
we
were
going
to
discuss
it
at
the
briefing.
So
thanks
for
the
quick
update,
I'm
I'm
just
wanted
to
since
it's
coming
up,
I
well
not
anymore,
but.
A
Seeing
none
the
last
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
committee
assignment
report
and
again
I
think
that
is
up
to
you
all.
If
anyone
has
any
reports
on
any
of
the
committee
activities
that
you're
assigned
to
and
I'm
seeing
good.
H
I'm
getting
a
report
you'll
be
getting
a
four-page
word
document
from
me
soon
about
blue
zones.
I
sent
it
today
so
I'm
sure,
as
soon
as
it
gets
reviewed
and
acceptable
to
get
out
to
everybody
that
you'll
be
seeing
that
so.
