Hall. Mayor Walter W. Parker presided and the following members
of Council were present: Jack Youmans, Bill Walsh, Paul Jackson,
Jean Davis and John O'Neill. Chris Solomon was absent, out of
town with a youth group on a Recreation Dept. outing.
Mayor Parker first read a plaque that will be presented to
A.P. Solomon, III on Saturday at his 80th birthday party. He
stated that Perry had been invited to accept this plaque at the
meeting, but was unable to be present tonight, having just
arrived back from the Recreation Dept. Little League trip. He
announced that Perry is retiring "not to work with his tools for
money ", but has promised to be available to help the city in
other ways, and will continue to make the park & recreation
inspections for the rest of the summer.
Barbara Kiley, Tax Commissioner, was present and recognized.
She spoke of her campaign for the elected position she holds and
of her 27 years experience in the tax office, asking people to
vote for her in November.
Tim Harden, commander of the Hobie Fleet 294 which sails off
Center Street, spoke of the excellent cooperation between the
group and the city, and presented a plaque to the city which was
accepted by Mayor Parker.
Phil Fortson of Savannah Wood Preserving Company, Inc. spoke
to advocate recycling of glass bottles, saying that collection
will begin on August 24th and that his company will accept
products for recycling from 1 to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
He said he believes a civic group or church could get behind the
collection effort here on Tybee and add $3500. or more to their
treasuries per year.
Dorothy Kirschbaum presented a letter to the Mayor and
Council asking for a hearing before a Recreation Review /Appeals
Board on a matter having to do with the midget football program.
The Board has been appointed by Mayor Parker and is constituted
as follows:
Mayor
Council Committee for Recreation

Mayor Parker commended the committee for an excellent job, and
the Council accepted this first report as information, giving the
committee a green light to proceed with further planning,
including a Labor Day kick -off for the educational /awareness
portion of the campaign.
Burt Barrett, Jr. spoke of the Inlet Avenue right -of-
way, saying that the neighboring property owner who had once
planted palms there and removed them at the city's request, has
now planted shrubbery, adding a "private drive" sign as well. He
stated that his concern is the perception that this is not a
public right -of -way since there are only two public accesses in
the area. He cited cases at Hilton Head and Wilmington Island
where the public used to have access and now no longer can get to
the beach or the river. He said that he could not definitely
state that the sign is on the man's private property, it might
be, but the perception is that there is no public access at Inlet
Avenue, and he believes this should be clarified. Mayor Parker
promised to check on the sign, and the planting. Councilman
O'Neill said that the question is really not technical, but a
matter of what the public believes, adding that there is no
question but that the area has been beautified.
Fitz Simmons spoke to say that June 15th was the
compliance date for the compliance forms mandated by the Ethics
Act and that two members of Council did not file. He stated that
this is a misdemeanor. He asked about the city's allowing Tybee
Realty to pave city right -of -way at Second Avenue and First
Street, saying that the parking lot is theirs to pave, but
they've also paved city right -of -way. It was noted in response
that people do usually pave driveways to a point connecting with
a street, but that this particular paving job will be checked.
Gary Conleay spoke about the effort to keep Tybee
School open, saying that the start of school is only 3 weeks
away, and that a media campaign has begun although the chances
may be slim to none. He asked permission of Council to solicit
funds in the manner of the Shriners, using only adult collectors,
in a safe and orderly manner. These funds would be used to
defray costs of the media campaign. The City Council endorsed
this solicitation, provided it is coordinated with the Tybee
Island Police Department. Mr. Conleay said that the other effort
of the school committee is to protect the property, and the park,
if efforts to reopen the school are not successful.
Mrs. James Ray asked if the city is going to do
anything about Estill Avenue, saying it has been two months since
she gave over her ten foot easement to the city, and still the
street has not been graded. Mayor Parker explained that the city
is waiting for Mr. Hernandez to indicate readiness to remove
poles that are in the right -of -way, at which time a line will be
run by the surveyor, and then it will be possible to grade the
street. Mrs. Ray also said that the city workers aren't being
paid to work on Saturday and Sunday now, and how can they

I undertake additional work for the Beach Litter Committee when the
city can't pay them overtime for their regular work?
Mr. Pope spoke against the proposed noise ordinance,
and cited an incident on July 3rd in which the police closed down
a band at 11:20 p.m. due to excessive noise, without a warning.
He made a complaint specifically about Officer Black, quoting an
alleged statement of the officer.
The meeting was opened for business legally presented.
Minutes of the July meeting were approved as written.
Bills for the month of July were approved as follows:
Police $14,019.27
Gen. Govt. $ 7,466.31
Public Works $12,607.00
Sanitation $15,337.00
Water /Sewer $13,620.15
Fire /1st Res. $ 1,198.96
Recreation $ 1,594.99
A letter of agreement between the city and the Georgia
Dept. of Natural Resources was read into this record. A copy is
attached to, and becomes a part of, these minutes.
It was noted that many letters in response to the
city's resolution about Tybee School have been received, and a
letter from NCR Corporation concerning the use of the park
pavilion was read into the record. Councilman O'Neill said that
the School Board has always maintained a closed door policy that
is an affront to every citizen of the county. He said that his
years in the television industry made him aware that this group
has a history of shutting out the media.
Jean Davis made, and John O'Neill seconded, a motion
that the Beach Litter Committee recommendations be accepted and
they be given the go -ahead to plan and implement a media campaign
for Labor Day weekend. The motion passed unanimously. David
deBorde, a member of the committee, spoke to say he feels very
strongly that the committee be allowed to meet with the part -time
officers to be used for beach patrols and have some input even
though they will be working under the direction of TIPD. He also
said that the fines generated by the beach patrol need to go
toward litter control.
Councilman Jackson stated that two transfers of alcohol
beverage licenses have been requested, one for the Shrimp Net in
Ithe name of Robin Hughes and one from Chris Simon for Pier 15.
He stated that the police reports are okay, and moved that the
transfers be granted. Councilman O'Neill seconded the motion.
After clairification of a point made by Councilman Youmans
concerning whether the licenses are paid up to date, the vote was
taken and was unanimously in favor. The transfers were therefore

The skateboard ordinance, Code Section 10 -1 -3, was read
by Councilman Walsh. He then moved its adoption, and the motion
was seconded by Councilwoman Davis. During discussion Mr. Walsh
explained that a committee consisting of himself, the Chief of
Police, a businessperson who sells skateboards, and a young
person who skates, had met together and were recommending the
ordinance. The vote was 5 - 0 in favor. A second reading,
held later in the meeting, on motion made by Councilman Walsh and
seconded by Councilman Jackson, was also unanimous and the
ordinance was adopted, effective at once.
Councilwoman Davis announced that the time has come to
use the remainder of the Revenue Sharing Budget, suggesting that
a public hearing be held in September, if proper advertising can
be done in time for the regular meeting. She explained that
there are a several hundred dollars left in various categories,
not really enough to be effectively spent, and suggested that
these funds be reallocated to a special project of some kind.
The total remaining is $6,792.58.
A proposed noise ordinance, heard on 1st Reading last
month, was next discussed. Police Commissioner Jackson said that
the Council can't seem to agree on what the specifics of the
ordinance should be, and opened the question for discussion.
Councilman Walsh said the ordinance as proposed seems to be a
commonsense one, and that the city would be better off with a
simple ordinance. Sound meters were discussed, too, with an
ordinance calling for the level of sound to be read by this
method. Both the chief and Councilman O'Neill believed there
used to be a midnight- provision. Chief McCutchen offered to
investigate the charges made by Mr. Pope. Councilman Youmans
said he's lived on Lewis Avenue for 17 years and this is the
first summer he hasn't been able to sleep because of noise. It
was noted that if plans for a convention hotel and the city pier
and pavilion materialize, there should be a clear understanding
as to what type of noise law would be enforced. However, there
was no concensus reached, and the second reading of the ordinance
was dropped.
Mr. Mahoney explained the changes in the flood
ordinance which were mandated by the federal government, saying
that the new provisions of the model ordinance have been
incorporated into Tybee's existing ordinance since it was
tailored for our island at great expense about five years ago.
The ordinance was read by section and title and Councilman
Jackson moved its adoption. Councilwoman Davis seconded and the
vote was unanimous in favor. Having been accepted on First
Reading, a Second Reading followed immediately, with the same
results. The new ordinance is attached to, and becomes a part
of, these minutes, and will be forwarded to the appropriate state
and federal agencies at once.

A contract with NCR for updated computer equipment and
software, with lease, was discussed and Councilwoman Davis stated
that the proposal has been recommended by the Finance /General
Government Committee and is within the budgeted amount for this
fiscal year. The recommendation of the committee was accepted
unanimously, and the Mayor is hereby empowered to execute the
lease /purchase agreement /contract.
Building Code updates, seven separate ordinances, were
next read and Councilman Jackson moved for adoption, with
Councilwoman Davis seconding. The vote was unanimously in favor,
and a Second Reading, with identical results, followed
immediately. Code Sections 8- 2 -3(a), 8- 2- 11(a), 8 -2 -18, 4 -2 -21,
8 -2 -13, 8 -2 -14, 8 -2 -16, and 8 -2 -17 as amended are attached to,
and become a part of, these minutes.
Councilman O'Neill stated that a motion he made two
months ago regarding Code Section 8 -4 -72, Public Hearings, and
which was accepted by unanimous vote of City Council was later
found to be in violation of the Code. He then stated that,
rather than try to correct the motion, he'd prefer to withdraw
it, if City Council agrees. There were no objections, so the
motion is considered null and void, and no public hearing for a
text amendment to 8 -4 -72 will be advertised.
IMayor Parker announced that he is issuing a
Proclamation for the Second Annual Coastal Empire Gymnastic Meet
to be held on Tybee the last weekend in August, and urged the
City Council and the local Chamber of Commerce to make the
visitors welcome.

public expenditures for flood
impairment of the tax base, all
public health, safety and general
safety hazards, extraordinary
protection and relief, and
of which adlversely affect the
welfare.

cumulative effect of obstructions in floodplains causing
increases in flood heights and velocities, and by the existence
in flood hazard areas of uses or occupancies vulnerable to floods
or hazards to other properties which are inadequately elevated,
floodproofed, or otherwise protected from flood damages.

water velocities;
(b) Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including
facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood
damage at the time of the initial construction.
(c) Control filling, grading, dredging and other development
which may increase erosion or flood damage; and
(d) Prevent or regulate
which will unnaturally divert
flood hazards to other lands.

columns.
(c) Have the space below the lowest horizontal support
member for the lowest floor free of obstructions that the impact
of abnormally high tides or wind - driven water is minimized.
(d) Provide that all new construction and substantial
improvements, within zones V1 -30, VE and V on the community's
FIRM, have the space below the lowest floor either free of
obstruction or constructed with non - supporting breakaway walls,
open wood lattice work, or insect screening intended to collapse
under wind and water loads without causing collapse,
displacement, or other structural damage to the elevated portion
of the building or supporting foundation system. For the
purposes of this section, a breakaway wall shall have a design
safe loading resistance of not less than 10 nor more than 20
pounds per square foot. Use of breakaway walls which exceed a
design safe loading resistance of 20 pounds per square foot
(either by design or when so required by local. or State codes)
may be permitted only if a registered professional engineer or
architect certifies that the designs proposed meet the following
conditions:
-1- breakaway wall collapse shall result from a
water load less than that which would occur
during the base flood; and,
-11- the elevated portion of the building and
supporting foundation system shall not be
subject to collapse, displacement, or other
structural damage due to the effects of wind
and water loads acting simultaneously on all
building components (structural and non-
structural). Maximum wind and water loading
values to be used in this determination shall
each have a one percent chance of being
equalled or exceeded in any given year (100
year mean recurrence interval.)
-iii- Such enclosed space shall be used solely for
vehicle parking, building access or storage.

(e) There shall be no fill used as structural support.
Non - compacted fill may be used around the perimeter of a building
for landscaping /aesthetic purposes provided the fill will wash
out from storm surge, (thereby rendering the building free of
obstruction) prior to generating excessive loading forces
ramping effects, or wave deflection. The city inspection
department shall approve design plans for landscaping /aesthetic
fill only after the applicant has provided an analysis by an
engineer, architect and /or soil scientist, which demonstrates
that thefollowing factors have been fully considered:
i- Particle composition of fill material does not
tendency for excessive natural compaction;
ii- Volume and distribution of fill will not cause
wave deflection to adjacent properties; and
iii- Slope of fill will not cause wave run -up or
ramping.
(f) There shall be no alteration of sand dunes which will
increase potential flood damage.
