Mayor Locklear said that the personnel pay classes, along with pay steps and rates, are still being worked on and will be on the agenda for December meeting. The Mayor read a letter signed by 80 residents commending the bike patrol on the island. Mayor Locklear said that he had sent a two part letter to Mr. Charles Battle, Managing Director of ACOG offering Tybee as a site for the stowage and launching of the sail boats for the 96 Olympic Games and also a detail list of all expenditures incurred by Tybee Island since the contract was signed for reimbursement. The Mayor announced that he would be marching in the Veterans' Day Parade November llth and invited everyone to join him. Mayor Locklear explained that the Downtown Authority was dormant at the present time, but he would like to see it back in action explaining that this authority would help the commercial areas. Mayor Locklear explained the reason for Tybee needing a coastal engineer. he stated that the best firm would be Olsen Associates out of Jacksonville, Florida. The Mayor turned the discussion over to City Administrator Rowena Fripp. Mrs. Fripp said that the cost per hour would vary from $37.00 per hour, $50.00 per hour to $115.00 per hour depending on the job. Mrs. Fripp gave background on Olsen Associates, stating that the quoted prices were in line and that each contract would be on a one to one basis coming before Council each time for a vote. Olsen Associates is now working on the south groin. Councilmember Youmans asked taking these expenditures out of the Special Option Sales Tax of $500,000.00. The Mayor answered that is where we will debit these costs. Councilmember Youmans moved to get Olsen on board as soon as possible. Councilmember Remeta seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.

Councilmember O'Dell said he would like to commend the sorority for sponsoring the event and also he noted that they did not ask for any money for the event. He stated that it is a great idea. Vote by Council was unanimous. 1 1 1 Mr. Bob Austin read a prepared statement from Tybee Volleyball Chairman Jack Boylston requesting the City to designate part or all of North Beach parking lot for special events. Mayor Locklear said that Jack Boylston did come to the agenda meeting and explained to Council what the committee was going to do about incorporating and forming a Special Events committee. The Mayor said that Council would decide on the events on a case by case request. Councilmember Youmans said that he was glad to hear the Mayor state that because of the 45 to 50 thousand dollars of revenue that the City would lose if this was passed. Councilmember Remeta asked that the committee consider different sites like Memorial Park. The Mayor announced that he was chairman of this area for the collection of gifts for the Georgia Regional Hospital. He also announced that donations for the Burkes are being taken at the DeSoto. Mallory Pearce gave a report from the Environmental Committee on composting, field guide on plants and animals, and the land trust. Chris Schubert gave a summary on the Chatham County Environmental Forum of which he and Mallory Pearce are seeking membership. Mayor Locklear said that Mr. Pearce is helping 2 scouts achieve the status of Eagle. Angela Byers, Zoning Administrator, presented definitions on zoning d through z. Councilmember Youmans said he questions the whole situation, especially the height portion that would measure from the living area to the top of construction. Mrs. Byers answered that there are two definitions and that Council would decide which one to adopt. Councilmember Youmans stated that the RDC is suppose to be straightening out the ordinances not changing them. Councilmember Remeta said that he is worried about height definition on page 7 - top of building to the ground. Mr. John Hutton, a member of the Zoning Task Force, said that to clarify the issue for Council is that the Task Force has one definition and the Planning Commission has another. The Task Force wants to keep the old definition. Mr. Jim Kluttz said that people are spending hours on this but that the Public Forums are not being held, this issue cannot be adopted in one meeting. The Mayor said that people will have an opportunity to speak at as many forums it takes to clarify the issues. At least now we have something to work with concerning the definitions. Mr. John Hunter, Jenny Orr, and Margot Grafton spoke against the Occupation Tax and Regulating fees ordinance that is coming before Council tonight for a second reading. Mr. Hunter asked Council to table the second reading until a discussion between Council and business owners can be arranged. Mayor Locklear said that we are into double digits from the Hotel/ Motel taxes for seven months. We need to work on November through March for a year round season. Councilmember Youmans said that since we are getting so much extra money from Hotel /Motel taxes that we need to leave the business license fees alone. 1 1 1 Mayor Locklear opened the public hearing on a request for a site plan review made by Kevin Matthews. Planning Commission recommended approval. No one spoke in favor. Mr. Tom Fassig of 11 Lighthouse Lane said that he opposes. He stated that he attended the Planning Commission meeting and was asked two questions: 1. How long have you lived on Tybee ?; 2. How much land do you own? Mr. Ferrig said that he feels that these questions have nothing to do with the request made by Ms. Matthews. Every person who spoke was asked the same questions. Mr. Ferrig said that the marshland is being added into the lot size requirements. Councilmember Youmans stated that has nothing to do with what they can build. Councilmember Hughes said that the setback would be considered later, this is just the site plan, the tree ordinance will be enforced. Councilmember Remeta said that since the land is zoned R -T a hotel could be built. Shirley Ann Martin spoke in opposition also. Mayor Locklear closed the hearing. Councilmember Youmans moved to approve. Councilmember Jackson seconded. Vote by Council was 5 in favor (Hughes, Youmans, Remeta, Wildi, Jackson); 1 opposed (O'Dell). Mayor Locklear opened the public hearing on a petition for a setback variance made by Alvin and Joyce Davis PIN 4- 7 -6 -3, #2 14th Street. The Planning Commission recommended approval. Mr. Davis said that he wants to build a garage addition to his home. Councilmember Hughes asked what is the hardship? Mr. Davis said the driveway, the parking lot traffic veers towards his property and it makes it difficult to back up. Councilmember Hughes stated that this happens all over the island, so this could not be considered a hardship. Councilmember Youmans asked if this property is R -T and requires a 20 foot setback. Mrs. Byers answered yes a 20 foot rear setback is required for that zoning. Councilmember Remeta said that he can see how backing out would be a problem. Councilmember O'Dell said a Coke machine sits right in front of his home. Councilmember Youmans said a garage would not help his hardship, the hardship being he can not back out. Mr. Davis said it is hard to explain. If I have a garage I can back out, turn around and go out front way. Councilmember O'Dell said that he went by property this a.m. and that the neighbors have no problem with the variance. Mr. Davis said he plans to build a bedroom over the garage. No one spoke in favor. No one spoke against. Mayor Locklear closed the hearing. Councilmember Hughes moved to deny. Councilmember Jackson seconded. Vote by Council was 2 in favor (Hughes, Jackson); 4 Opposed (Youmans, Remeta, O'Dell Wildi). Councilmember Remeta moved to approve the variance. Councilmember O'Dell seconded. Vote by Council was 3 in favor ( Remeta, Wildi, O'Dell); 3 opposed (Youmans, Hughes, Jackson). Mayor broke the tie by voting to deny the variance. Mayor Locklear opened the public hearing on a major subdivision request made by agent Allen Hendrix for Phase II Eagles Nest. Planning Commission approved subdivision. Mr. Hendrix said that he spent two hours going over everything to do with the subdivision at the Planning Commission meeting. Councilmember Hughes said that the information Council received 1 1 1 from the Zoning Administrator had 18 points that needed to be addressed. Mr. Hendrix said that all points were gone over with the Planning Commission and that the engineers have gone back to the County. Councilmember Jackson said the main concern is the widening of the road to 60 feet. All the trees would have to be removed and feels that a 40 foot road way is the best option and would be adequate since it is a private road. Councilmember Youmans said this is a new major subdivision. Mayor Locklear asked Mr. Hendrix how many lots? Mr. Hendrix said 30 lots. No one spoke in favor. Mr. Lee Stewart, Mr Michael Fleetwood, Mr. Mallory Pearce, Mrs. Carolyn Stewart, Mr. Bud Hackney, Mr. Ken Rushing stated their concerns and opposition to the granting of this subdivision. Mr. Hendrix said that he would like to make everyone happy, and that the developers, Riverside, will go half on the paving of Phase I, and there will be a deceleration lane. Riverside is spending a lot of money. Mr. Stewart said that in Phase I there are 9 acres with 12 lots, in Phase II there are 12 acres with a projection of 30 lots, the cost of paving Phase I would be approximately $8,000.00 and I will not pay for my road being paved. The required footage in Phase II includes the marsh area. Councilmember Remeta questioned the 10 lots that are 5,000 square foot. Mr. Hendrix said that is the high land, but with the marsh included there are 12,000 square feet plus. Councilmember O'Dell asked if this met with our subdivision regulations? Mrs. Byers said all does except the right of way. Mr. Michael Fleetwood asked that lots 1 - 10 be combined into 5 lots. The developers could get a higher price for a larger lot. Mr. Fleetwood asked that Council vote on the intent of law, protect Phase I's investment. Mrs. Stewart stated that marsh should not be allowed as part of required footage. Mr. Bud Hackney said he was not going to pay for the paving of the road so that the developer could rape the land. Mr. Rushing stated that if developed 65% of the trees would be cut down, he also said that he could split his lot and sell it like the developer is doing in Phase II. Councilmember O'Dell stated lots are 12,000 square foot; then he calls for the vote. Councilmember Youmans said that Planning Commission approved as long as all conditions are met. Mayor Locklear closed the hearing. Councilmember Remeta moved to table. Councilmember Wildi seconded. Councilmember Hughes recommended an amendment to table to Planning Commission until the 18 points on the list from Chatham County Engineers have been addressed. Councilmember Remeta withdrew his motion. Councilmember Wildi seconded the amended motion. Voting in favor to table to Planning Commission were Hughes, Remeta, Wildi; opposed Youmans, O'Dell, Jackson. Mayor Locklear broke the tie by voting in favor to table to Planning Commission. A 7 minute break was called by Mayor Locklear at 9:40 P.M. The October bills were reviewed, found in order and recommended to be paid by Council. 1 1 1 Mrs. Dorothy Breakstones request for a variance was tabled from the October Meeting. Mrs. Breakstone said that Mr. Frankenhauser, Chairman of the Planning Commission, came by and told her that if the structure was sitting right on the ground that it would be allowed. Mrs. Breakstone stated that she plans to have a small retaining wall because of the slope of the land. Councilmember Youmans stated that the City allows utility building to be placed on the ground. Councilmember Jackson asked if a variance was needed? Councilmember Youmans said no. Councilmember Hughes said that a building permit was needed. Councilmember Jackson moved to table the second reading on ordinance 3 -2 -51 through 3 -2 -73 Occupation Tax. Councilmember Youmans seconded stating that the businesses have a short season on Tybee and there is no reason to charge this much money. Voting in favor to table were Remeta, Youmans, Jackson; opposed Hughes, O'Dell, Wildi. Mayor broke the tie by voting not to table. Councilmember Wildi moved to change the pouring license to $1,150.00 and accept all of the other sections. Councilmember O'Dell seconded. Vote by Council was 5 in favor (Hughes, Remeta, O'Dell, Wildi, Jackson); 1 opposed (Youmans). Councilmember Remeta moved to adopt Section 4 -1 -2 Powers and Duties of Police Officers on its second reading. Councilmember O'Dell seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous. Councilmember Hughes said the City has received a request for Savannah Crush festival for '95 events, which would be a three day event, stating that the City has letters from Attorney Roy Allen and Savannah State stating that they were not involved with request. Councilmember Youmans said if we deal with them at all, lets give the same conditions as last year. Mayor Locklear asked the Police Committee to meet for discussion on this matter and that he and Mrs. Fripp will write an answer to the request, Council will see it before it is mailed. Councilmember Hughes moved to accept the proposal from Sallie Hagan, the auditor, for the up coming years stating that it will be a 5% rate increase from last year ($7,710.00). Councilmember Youmans seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous. Councilmember Youmans moved to table any discussion on parking automation until someone can explain what is being requested.

Councilmember Youmans said to please be sure that you realize that enforcement of this ordinance will be for all. Councilmember O'Dell agrees. Mayor Locklear said that the Chief will be told. Vote by Council was unanimous. As there was no further business to come before Council the meeting was adjourned. James P. Locklear, Mayor Clerk of Council, JRB 1 1 November 9, 1994 Rowena B. Fripp City Administrator City of Tybee Island P.O. Box 128 Tybee Island, GA 31328 Re: Coastal Engineering Consultant Selection Dear Ro: Coastal Engineering Pursuant to your recent request, we have enclosed with this letter a listing of our most recent hourly rates for professional services (Attachment A). The latter would be applicable to the negotiation of both Time and Materials and fixed price type contracts. With respect to the potential future requirements of the City of Tybee Island, I would suggest that you consider negotiating fixed price contracts for the islandwide monitoring program, and /or other potential "specific" studies of interest such as computer modeling of shoreline changes, engineering analysis of structural alternatives in the vicinity 2nd Street to supplement the federal project, etc. Similarly, I would suggest that you may wish to negotiate a T&M arrangement with your consultant for work associated with liaison with the Savannah District, Corps of Engineers, Georgia DNR, G.P.A., etc. For purposes of clarification, although the City of Tybee Island retained our engineering services for purposes of designing the South Beach Stabilization Project, the City will not need to defray the costs of engineering supervision during the construction of those works. We have been retained by the G.P.A. to perform that Task through their Port Consultant, Lockwood Greene, essentially in your behalf. Similarly, we successfully sought to modify in the City's behalf the scope -of -work required by the Georgia DNR for future monitoring of the shoreline of Tybee Island. The previous scope had been submitted by A.T.M. as a subconsultant to the GPA and called for monthly surveys. In our opinion, such an effort would have been overly expensive without serving any useful purpose. Accordingly, at our request the GPA allowed us to submit a substitute scope -of -work to the Georgia DNR which they ultimately accepted.

As a result of our previous several years of experience with the City -of Tybee Island, we firmly believe that we are not only the most technically qualified consultant, but also the best prepared to assist you in cost effectively seeking and maximizing federal cost sharing for the Section 934 Beach Erosion Control Project. We likewise continue to be of the opinion that other potential avenues of future financial assistance are available to you via Section 933 of the River and Harbor Act which allows for beach disposal of compatible sediment derived from future navigation project maintenance dredging. A copy of a similar Section 933 request submitted by our firm in behalf of the Town of Hilton Head Island is induded with this letter. know. If I can provide any additional information related to these matters, please let me Thank you.

As you know, I have assisted the City through last year's accounting software transition and issuance of the 1994 Water Sewer Revenue bonds this year. I believe the audit will require special attention this year because of changes in state auditing requirements and because of numerous issues relating to the 94 Revenue Bonds. I believe my firm is best qualified to perform the audit. My proposed audit fee will be $ 7,710 (5% increase over 1993) for the year ending December 31, 1994 and will increase by 5 percent annually for each succeeding year that the contract is renewed.
