Quarterly Reports — All departments
Spencer Davis and Bert Moore, COE approached mayor and council to give an
update on the current Beach Re-nourishment. Mr. Davis reported that all equipment
should be off the beach during the week of January 12th. He then gave an outline of
the re-nourishment. Mr. Davis reported that the re-nourishment was complete as of
Saturday, December 6, 2014 and to date 1,545,000 cubic yards of sand between the
front beach and Back River has been placed. The front beach volume was 1.5M cubic
yards and Back River was 45,000 cubic yards. Mr. Davis stated that the life of the re-
nourishment is 10 years and this is based on the design as this is the last re-
nourishment with federal participation. Remaining work that needs to be done is tilling
to prepare the beach for the turtles, punch list items, final inspection and contractor
demobilization. Mayor Buelterman asked Mr. Davis the final cost. Mr. Davis replied
that current contract value is $11,548,000 depending on final amount of sand. The
original contract was awarded at $10,176,770 and there was a modification for
$1,370,000 which was additional volume of materials. The additional volume was
1,329,000 which made a total of 1.5M cubic yards. Mr. Davis then gave a brief
20150115AmendedPacket Page 8 of 270
presentation depicting where sand was placed on the beach. Mayor pro tern Doyle
questioned the amount of sand placed at the 7th Street area. Mr. Davis replied that the
design is based on the seawall behind the dunes as that area is the widest. Mayor
Buelterman asked Mr. Davis how the City gets the baseline changed from the seawall so
we can be encouraged to build dunes going seaward. Mr. Davis stated that there are
two options: pursuing an Extension/Special Report or a new Authorization which is a
new Study and involves time and money. Mr. Wolff thanked Mr. Davis and asked Ms.
Schleicher for a time line of installing the sand fencing. Ms. Schleicher stated that it is
scheduled for January 2015. Mayor Buelterman thanked Mr. Davis for all his work.
Harvey Ferrelle, Chair, Beach Task Force approached mayor and council to give an
update on the Beach Management Plan. Mr. Ferrelle stated that the Beach
Management Plan is complete. He thanked Dan Parrot for all his hard work as well as
the Task Force. Mr. Ferrelle explained that this is a living document and will be
updated as needed. He asked that they look at "The Way Forward -2024" as that is
when the next re-nourishment should take place and the City should be looking for
options for the next re-nourishment. Mayor Buelterman recommended that the Task
Force look at dune height vs. dune width. Mr. Ferrelle confirmed. Mayor Buelterman
stated his concerns with the gaps in the dunes and would like the Task Force to look
into that as well. Mr. Ferrelle confirmed stating we need to find out what is the right
thing for Tybee and proceed with that. Mayor Buelterman thanked Mr. Ferrelle for all
his hard work.
Bev Davis, RSH, approached mayor and council to discuss the Traffic Calming
Study. Ms. Davis gave a brief presentation on the Jones Avenue Traffic Study to
include the data collection, the existing conditions, issues and needs that were
identified, menu of potential treatments and recommendations. She outlined the cost
of each recommendation with a total cost of approximately $500,000. There were no
questions and Mayor Buelterman thanked Ms. Davis for her presentation.
Citizen to Be Heard
Alaina Loughridge, Tybee Beachcomber, approached mayor and council to explain
her new adventure, Tybee Beachcomber. This is a new magazine on the Island which
will be a distributed monthly. The staff will be concentrating on consistency as well as
informative, educational and fun information that residents and tourists want to know
about. Ms. Loughridge stated that it is their goal for the magazine to be truthful, timely
and informative and this will be a true Tybee effort. She invited everyone to send
information and potential stories to her. She thanked mayor and council for their time
and support in this effort.
20150115AmendedPacket Page 9 of 270
Lisa Callahan, Tybee Island MLK Parade and Human Rights Celebration,
approached mayor and council to give an update on the parade. She thanked mayor
and council for all their support and gave everyone a shirt depicting the event. Ms.
Callahan invited everyone to come out and support the Parade and Celebration as this
is recognition for Tybee's part in the march toward equality and diversity and toward
the recognition of those residents who have given their time to help other residents.
Vicky Worden approached mayor and council to thank them for their quick response
to the proposed Tybee Island Community Pool to include the Resolution on the
agenda. The Pool Committee would like to suggest a change in the verbiage of the
Resolution to have it read "to use public funds" rather than "tax payer money" as this
will recognize there are other funding sources from which funds are available to build
the pool. Ms. Worden would also recommend the name of the pool be changed to
"Community" rather than "Public".
Jeff Nethery, Director of Business Development, Cale America, Inc. approached
mayor and council to speak on the recent RFP for the parking meter replacement and
subsequent intent to award a contract to Amano McCann. Mr. Nethery outlined the
benefits of Cale as opposed to other vendors. Mr. Callahan asked Mr. Hughes if it was
appropriate for Mr. Nethery to speak. Mr. Hughes stated that it is his recommendation
that Mr. Nethery be allowed to continue, no questions or discussion held and continue
with the meeting. Mr. Nethery continued to express his concerns with his competitor's
equipment.
Consideration of Bids, Contracts, Agreements and Expenditures
Budget Amendment to provide funds to hire a contractor to construct and
paint three portable beach sandbar warning signs on the south end of the
Island. Mr. Garbett stated that he is not opposed to the signs but does not feel a
sense of urgency to have it done outside of the City's workforce. This can be handled
in-house which could be done in February or March which would be frugal and prudent.
Mayor pro tem Doyle stated that this is about public safety therefore the urgency. Mr.
Parks stated that his sense of urgency is due to a recent incident on the beach. He
feels that if signage was in place this might not have happened. Mr. Parks would like to
move forward with approval. Mayor Buelterman agreed with Mayor pro tem Doyle that
the City needs to move forward as DPW is busy with other important tasks. Mr. Brown
expressed his concerns with the placement of the signs as they need to be permanent.

new pay and display meters no later than June 30, 2015. Mayor Buelterman
stated that he is not in favor of moving forward and increasing parking fees. He would
recommend that rates not be increased. Barry Brown made a motion to deny.
Wanda Doyle seconded. Voting in favor to deny were Paul Wolff, Monty Parks,
Wanda Doyle, Barry Brown and Bill Garbett. Voting against was Rob Callahan. Motion
carried 5-1.
Mayor Buelterman asked Ms. Schleicher if staff has contacted other cities in regards

explained that a Stop Work was issued and a permit application was submitted to
include a hand drawing. The hand drawing shows the rock was to stop at the property
line and there was the allowed 20' wide driveway with rock extending from the property
line to the pavement of Lewis Avenue. She explained that the permit was issued, the
rock was not removed from the City's right-of-way and the owner is now seeking a
variance rather to remove the rock. Mayor Buelterman asked Ms. Otto; when the 25'
Rule was put into place was this primarily due to the residents on the beach side of
Butler Avenue using the entire width to basically deny public parking in front of their
20150115AmendedPacket Page 11 of 270
homes on the City's right-of-way? Ms. Otto responded that the 25' width was in place
prior to her employment with the City. Mr. Brown stated that the 25' width has been in
existence for twenty years or longer. Mayor pro tern Doyle expressed her concerns and
would rather have residents improve their right-of-way as the City does not have the
manpower or funding to do this. She would recommend the 25' Rule be revisited.
Mayor Buelterman confirmed that staff is enforcing the Code. Ms. Otto stated that the
25' is a safer area for parking. Mr. Wolff expressed his concerns with parking and the
rental of the property as there are two buildings on the property. Mr. Parks confirmed
with Ms. Otto that this is an after-the-fact variance request. Ms. Otto confirmed. Mr.
Parks stated that is he not opposed to revisiting the current ordinance and would
recommend it be introduced to the Planning Commission and forwarded to mayor and
council for their consideration. Mr. Garbett stated that he is not in favor of this request
as it would become a 60' wide impervious area. Bonnie Gaster approached mayor and
council. She gave a brief history of the property as it had rock in place for over 18
years and is pervious. Ms. Gaster stated that a thin layer of new small rock was placed
over the existing rock that were dirty and had been in the right-of-way. She would ask
mayor and council to reconsider the use of the variance as they have complied with
cleanliness, made an attempt to make a better property, maintaining the City right-of-
way, right of use for the City and feels the property was improved with rock. Jeff
Slaughter approached mayor and council. He stated that he is the property owner and
would like to reiterate what Ms. Gaster stated and would ask mayor and council to
approve his request. Barry Brown made a motion to approve. Wanda Doyle
seconded. Discussion: Mayor Buelterman stated his concerns with the current
ordinance. Mr. Hughes stated the ordinance, 25' Rule, was approved in conjunction
with the parking meters and Green Space. Voting in favor were Barry Brown and
Wanda Doyle. Voting against were Paul Wolff, Monty Parks, Rob Callahan, and Bill
Garbett. Motion failed 2-4.
Site Plan Approval — 15 Tybrisa; Consideration of commercial
renovation/addition; Lighthouse Pizza. Barry Brown recused. Dianne Otto,
Planning and Zoning Director approached mayor and council explaining that currently
there is an open dining area to the right side of the restaurant and their request is to
enclose that area. Part of the enclosure will expand the footprint Ms. Otto continued, in
the rear corner. Planning Commission heard this request and their vote was to approve
with a vote of 5-0. Mr. Wolff asked if the City Engineer's concerns have been
addressed concerning drainage. Ms. Otto responded that they are currently working
toward that resolution. Mr. Parks asked if the issue with moving the generator has
been addressed. Ms. Otto replied that it is the intent to have the generator moved to
the property and not on the adjoining properties. Mr. Brown, contractor, approached
20150115AmendedPacket Page 12 of 270
mayor and council to answer any questions or concerns. He explained that time is of
the essence as the petitioner would like construction completed prior to the onset of the
summer season. Paul Wolff made a motion to approve contingent upon having an
approved drainage plan prior to issuance of a permit and to have the generator moved
back on Lighthouse Pizza property. Monty Parks seconded. Vote was unanimous, 5-
0.
First Reading, 62-2014; Consideration of Standards for Site Plan Review, Sec
5-080, Site Plan Approval. Dianne Otto, Planning and Zoning Director stated that
this is first reading and the Planning Commission heard this item and their consideration
was to approve, 4-1. Currently in the Site Plan Ordinance there is no allowance for
imposing any conditions and approval would modify where conditions could be
imposed. Mayor pro tem Doyle questioned the time frame moving from 18 months to
12 months as she would prefer 18 months. Ms. Otto responded that the version before
mayor and council was approved by the Planning Commission in 2012 and was brought
before the current Commissioners who approved at their November meeting. Mr.
Garbett stated that he is in favor of the changes as did Mr. Wolff. Mr. Parks stated that
a great deal of work went into these changes in 2012. Bill Garbett made a motion to
approve as drafted. Paul Wolff seconded. Discussion: Mr. Callahan stated that he
feels it should be 18 months. Those voting in favor were Paul Wolff, Monty Parks and
Bill Garbett. Those voting against were Rob Callahan, Wanda Doyle and Barry Brown.
Mayor Buelterman voted against. Motion failed 3-4. Bill Garbett made a motion to
approve as presented with changing the language to 18 months longevity. Paul Wolff
seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0.
First Reading, 61-2014; Text Amendment — Consideration of Advertising
Benches, Sec 4-050(0), South End Overlay District. Dianne Otto, Planning and
Zoning Director explained that when the South-end Overlay Ordinance was adopted
there was language that no advertising benches were permissible in the District.
Currently, advertising benches remain in the 14th Street Parking Lot. She explained that
before mayor and council is language inserted into the ordinance that those benches
may remain until such time as the City provides public benches in that lot. The
Planning Commission heard this and their consideration was to approve, 3-2. Mayor
pro tem Doyle asked Ms. Otto why the benches have been allowed to remain. Ms.
Schleicher replied that new benches are quite expensive and the City has not moved
forward in replacing the benches. She further explained that if mayor and council
approve, staff could be directed to place funding in the upcoming budget cycle for new
benches. Mr. Garbett confirmed with Ms. Schleicher that these are privately owned
benches and the number of benches have been capped at eight. Mr. Parks stated that
20150115AmendedPacket Page 13 of 270
it is his understanding that if these eight benches were removed from the 14th Street
Parking Lot they would be relocated on the Island. Ms. Otto responded that additional
benches could not be added but could be moved to other locations. Ms. Schleicher
explained that the advertising benches would remain in place until such time as the City
replaces with new benches. Ross Howard approached mayor and council stating that
DiVivo Advertising is in complete agreement with the change in the language and are
willing to work with the City when replacement benches are ordered. Paul Wolff
made a motion to approve. Monty Parks seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0.
Mayor Buelterman discussed the previous agenda item, 173 Lewis Avenue,
Consideration of Residential Driveway, and it is his recommendation that the rock not
be removed until such time as the Planning Commission and Mayor and Council have
had time to reconsider the existing ordinance. Mr. Wolff stated that he is not in
agreement with Mayor Buelterman's recommendation. Mr. Parks stated that he is
confident that an ordinance could be written dealing with the amount of feet, sub-
standard lots subject to variance and have it approved within sixty days. Mayor
Buelterman stated that it is his desire not to rush and ordinance but rather direct staff
to delay enforcement of the ordinance until such time as the Planning Commission and
City Council have had time to revisit the ordinance. Mr. Garbett expressed his concerns
with residents placing crushed rock across the front of their property. Mayor
Buelterman asked Mr. Hughes for his recommendation. Mr. Hughes stated that mayor
and council could suspend staff from taking action for compliance pending the review of
the ordinance as the Land Development Code outlines a procedure as staff cannot site
a resident for a violation without two notice steps which takes approximately 45 days.
He would recommend a motion and vote to that particular condition. Monty Parks
made a motion to have staff send the ordinance to the Planning Commission for their
review at the January 2015 meeting. Wanda Doyle seconded. Discussion: Mayor
pro tem Doyle stated that the motion does not address the current situation at 173
Lewis Avenue as it stands. Mr. Parks stated that if the Planning Commission hears this
at their January 2015 meeting, it will be before mayor and council on February 12, 2015
which is within the sixty days of compliance. Voting in favor were Monty Parks, Rob
Callahan, Wanda Doyle, Barry Brown and Bill Garbett. Voting against was Paul Wolff.
Motion carried 5-1.
Consideration of Ordinances, Resolutions
First Reading, 59-2014, Sec 22-196, Recycling. Paul Wolff made a motion to
approve as written. Wanda Doyle seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0.
20150115AmendedPacket Page 14 of 270
First Reading, 60-2014, Sec 22-194, Disposal of Refuse. Wanda Doyle made a
motion to approval as written. Rob Callahan seconded. Discussion: Mr. Wolff
stated that the current language would exclude the community garden and businesses.
He would recommend the language be added "or in the case of vegetable waste in a
home, business or community compost". Wanda Doyle amended her motion to
include the language "or in the case of vegetable waste in a home, business or
community compost". Rob Callahan accepted the amended motion. Vote was
unanimous, 6-0.
Second Reading, 57A-2014. Section 5-090, Variances: City of Tybee Island,
petitioner; consideration of standards for granting a variance (as amended at
11/13/14 First Reading). Mayor Buelterman stated that this a major step forward
for the residents and their property rights. He also thanked the Planning Commission
for their hard work in crafting the ordinance. Monty Parks made a motion to
approve. Rob Callahan seconded. Vote was unanimous 6-0.
Second Reading, 58-2014, Sec 18, Disaster Recovery. Paul Wolff made a
motion to approve. Wanda Doyle seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0.
Council, Officials and City Attorney Considerations and Comments
Proposed Tybee Island Pool Referendum Update. Mayor Buelterman stated that
his communications with our state legislators indicate that the unanimity of this is
extremely important. Mayor pro tem Doyle asked Mr. Hughes for clarity in the
language of the resolution versus the referendum. Mr. Hughes stated the referendum
would state the desire of mayor and council. Mayor pro tem Doyle would not like the
language "community" substituted for "public" swimming pool as it would indicate the
citizens of Tybee would be allowed to use the pool and not the general public. She
would also like clarification with "public funds" versus "taxpayer funds" as they are the
same. Mr. Wolff stated that there is not a difference, only individual interpretation.
There was a brief discussion regarding the language of the referendum so there would
be a unanimous vote going forward. Mayor pro tem Doyle reiterated that this is a public
swimming pool and paid for with taxpayers money and she would recommend it be
included on the referendum which would require a unanimous vote. Rob Callahan
made a motion to approve by changing the language to: "Do you support spending
taxpayer money for the construction, maintenance, and operation of a public swimming
pool on City property". Monty Parks seconded. Vote was unanimous, 6-0.
Paul Wolff made a motion to reconsider the second reading of the variance ordinance,
57A-2014. Monty Parks seconded. Voting in favor were Paul Wolff, Monty Parks, Rob
Callahan, Wanda Doyle and Bill Garbett. Voting against was Barry Brown. Motion
carried 5-1.
20150115AmendedPacket Page 15 of 270
Paul Wolff made a motion to approve second reading of 57A-2014 with the addition of
under B.1, adding "solar panels" under the exclusions. Monty Parks seconded.
Voting in favor were Paul Wolff, Monty Parks, Rob Callahan, Wanda Doyle and Bill
Garbett. Voting against was Barry Brown. Motion carried 5-1.
Cap Permit Fees for Solar Systems at $50 for those signing up under the
Solarize Tybee Program. Mayor Buelterman suggested that mayor and council
ensure that the capped permit fees were not solely for the Solarized Tybee Program but
for anyone who is applying for a solar system. Mr. Wolff responded that is not his intent
but would like to encourage residents to sign up for the Solarized Program so there will
be greater participation and hence more volume and lower cost for everyone that
participates. Mayor Buelterman asked Mr. Hughes his recommendations. Mr. Hughes
responded that he has concerns as it could be considered singling out of people. Mr.
Wolff stated that he is withdrawing the agenda item.
Mayor pro tem Doyle recommended that rather than having volunteers doing the
specifications, the City contract with a solar panel expert for specifications prior
to installation. She feels that in this way, the expert will be able to tell if the City
buildings qualify for solar panels, how much of a savings will be created, etc. Mr. Wolff
responded that with the assistance of the CRC, he would like to include the buildings in
Memorial Park as well as the Tybee Island Police Department in the Solarized Panel
Program. This will qualify the City for a 30% discount bulk buy if other residents sign
up. He further explained that the program does include an RFP review team that will
select the installer which is considered to be an expert. Ms. Schleicher made reference
to the past geothermal project where there were volunteers involved rather than an
expert and problems arose. Mayor Buelterman clarified that prior to the onset of work;
this item would come back before mayor and council for approval. Mr. Garbett
recommended that Ms. Schleicher research qualified independent experts and bring
back recommendations to mayor and council. Mayor Buelterman confirmed. No
action taken.
Paul Wolff made a motion to adjourn. Rob Callahan seconded. Vote was
unanimous, 6-0.

City Manager and Janet LeViner, Clerk of Council. Wanda Doyle, Rob Callahan, Barry Brown, Bubba
Hughes, City Attorney; and Tommy Branch, Callaway, Braun, Riddle and Hughes, PC were not present.
Ecological Planning Group. Diane Schleicher, City Manager, approached mayor and council
explaining that this is a three month agreement to provide in-house planning and zoning services for
the City from January 5 —April 3, 2015. She further explained that Ecological Planning Group (EPG) has
a long relationship with the City as they did the Comprehensive Plan and the 2010 Census Study. This
will give her time to search for a replacement for Dianne Otto without delaying any day to day
requests. Mr. Wolff stated his concerns regarding budgets and the scheduled 12 hours per week. Ms.
Schleicher responded that there is money in the budget and she feels that 12 hours per week will be
sufficient. Courtney Reich, EPG, approached mayor and council stating that if more hours are needed,
they would be able to provide those additional hours. Ed DiTommaso, EPG, confirmed that more hours
could be provided using the hourly rate. Mr. Parks stated that he shares Mr. Wolff's concerns
regarding the 12 hours per week as Ms. Otto was working 50-60 hours per week currently. He is very
concerned with customer service issues and would ask Ms. Schleicher to ensure there is money in the
budget for additional hours. Ms. Schleicher stated that funding could be taken from the Master Plan
Update line item as well as contract services. Ms. Reich stated that while they are at the Tybee offices,
they will be available to work on the Master Plan as well as other projects, time permitting. Mr. Wolff
then asked Ms. Schleicher to comment on the replacement for Ray Hord, Inspector, Chatham County,
as he is retiring. Ms. Schleicher responded that she had a meeting with the County Manager and the
County will provide the City with another inspector to provide the same office hours as Mr. Hord
provided. Ms. Schleicher explained that by contracting with EPG this will provide her with the time
needed to find a suitable replacement for Ms. Otto. Mayor Buelterman confirmed with Ms. Schleicher
that Mr. Hughes has reviewed the contract. Ms. Schleicher confirmed stating that Mr. Hughes did
made changes on the terms and conditions and made recommendations on the scope of work. Mayor
Buelterman asked Ms. Schleicher if there are other municipalities that contract their planning and
zoning duties. Ms. Schleicher confirmed as there are municipalities in the Atlanta area that contract
everything, DPW, Water/Sewer, etc. Mr. Wolff asked Ms. Schleicher if she is going to actively pursue a
replacement for Ms. Otto during the three month contract with EPG. She confirmed. Ms. Reich stated
that if additional hours are needed, they would be billed at the lower rate. Monty Parks made a
motion to approve. Paul Wolff seconded. Discussion: Mayor Buelterman asked Ms. Schleicher to
have Ms. Shaver contact GMA to have them provide us with a list of those municipalities that do have
third party contractual arrangements to do planning and zoning. He also asked Ms. Schleicher if the
City has input in the selection process in finding a replacement for Mr. Hord. Ms. Schleicher stated that
she is working with the County Manager to ensure a proper replacement is found. Mr. Garbett asked
Ms. Schleicher if there is a possibility of separating Planning and Zoning from Code Enforcement. Ms.
Schleicher replied that Code Enforcement is under the Tybee Island Police Department and Officer
Saunders works very closely with Planning and Zoning Office. Vote was unanimous, 3-0.
Paul Wolff made a motion to adjourn. Monty Parks seconded. Vote was unanimous, 3-0.

Human Resource Professional
Tyler is an extraordinary human resource consultant. His knowledge and expertise in all areas of human
resources and organizational development are impressive.
His operational knowledge and hands-on involvement was crucial at all levels of the Watts organization during
their domestic ramp-down period. He worked to ensure HR functionality in the field sites was successful as a
catalyst for process improvement and positive change. He was equally professional and personable; motivating
his site managers to produce quality results by setting clear objectives and creating an enjoyable environment
where work could be productive and not performed in vain.
I highly recommend Tyler as a person who can favorably impact any company's overall success by providing
talent59159yr m°nc�eldlgacge n resources and skill se Sapiaoft7oif not greater than, any Director or Vice President
out there today. Tyler delivered 110% value to the Watts Corporation.
Application Questions:
1.)After serving on the Ethics Commission successfully for 1 year, and successfully as a
Planning Commissioner for 2 years I wish to maintain my level of involvement and continue to
give back to the community that I, my wife and son call home. Being an active member of the
TIPC would actively allow me to as a steward to the community the opportunity to continue to
contribute to the ongoing life cycle of planned island growth and development.
2.) ilve always believed that TIPC role is to provide a strong citizen leadership role within the
community in which professionalism, growth and development prevail in a positive forward
thinking manner.
3.) I believe the TIPC LDC should always strive to promote health, safety, morals, convenience,
order, prosperity and general welfare within the legal boundaries of our island.
4.)The catalyst for me was the IGA parking lot expansion, I can remember the night it was
approved by presiding City Council at the time. Though I was happy with the council supporting
an island business I felt it could have used a tertiary review to reassure a more confident
decision by council.
5.) 50/50, depends on the continued efforts of effective management and preservation of our
city government and LDC. 10 years from now I believe we will be that model "Shining City on an
Island", one which chose to embody effective management of it's assets in every aspect,
development, preservation, promotion of health, integrity, safety, community, morals, order,
prosperity, honesty and general welfare.
6.) City of Tybee Island should avoid at all times and situations which could possibly influence
th- actions of others in specific opportunistic situations that would be considered questionable
&
7.) Revisions in the LOC (variances), long hours and lots of intense discussion in the
deveiopment of a proposed lighting ordnance for the City of Tybee Island.
8.) Expansion of the TIPC..reducing the TIPC headcount reduces the capability of voting
effectiveressamonadent we all know this)weiklaecause it impacts the ability at times to form a
