Mayor Pro Tem Wildi said to give the City a couple of days consideration. Ms. Kathleen South requested a special one day beer permit, with a waiver of the fees for the Saint Michael's Festival to be held on October 27th at the school gym. 1 City Attorney Hughes read the following correspondence concerning the height ordinance to come before Council during the legal session: A statement from Mayor Parker stating that he did vote for the ordinance in September but after study he feels that the proposed "envelope" does not address the issue satisfactorily. Opposed to the ordinance were, Jane Elizabeth Hodges, 12 Dogwood Avenue; Cullen Chambers; Anne and James Monaghan; Helen and Marshall Stone; and Patty Meinert. Former Councilmember Phil O'Dell wrote to state that he is in favor of the ordinance. Mayor Pro Tem Wildi said that there are quite a few citizens wishing to speak on the issue and that she will call on one person for and one person against and that when the list runs out then only one more person may speak. Mr. John Hutton said that the basic issue is height and that this is not addressed, adopt the Standard Building Code. Mr. Whitley Reynolds said he was in favor even though he did not ask for a variance when he built his house on 6th Street. Mr. Henry Levy said that if this passes that he could build a house with a roof of 80 to 90 feet and advertise on it and it could be seen from the bridge. Ms. Margaret Wylly stated she is in favor that it is a fire hazard to have parking under the house, which people do 1 1 1 in order to comply with the FEMA regulations. Mr. Julian Page said that he had problems when building his home and that we need a change but not this way, you need a measurement.

Ms. Bonnie Gaster said that she supports the rights of property owners and fairness in the way we live. Ms. Gaster stated that we may need have a clearer definition of roof line. Ms. Gaster turned in a petition with 43 signatures in favor of the ordinance. Ms. Debbie Barreiro said that this would increase the number of units and stories that could be built on a lot and that she is willing to volunteer to serve on a committee to get a questionnaire out to the citizens for their opinions. Mr. Dick Smith said that at a July 22 workshop between Council and the Planning Commission it was agreed to change the height and variance ordinances and that this ordinance is common sense. Mr. Tom Carrigan said that he went to an architect to get a clear picture of how to interpret the "envelope" concept. Mr. Carrigan said that about three years ago Councilmember Youmans said the only way to measure a building was from ground to roof. Mr. Carrington also stated that he was upset about article in paper concerning a City employee expressing her opinion on the issue. Mr. Bob Austin said that this is the most fair and equitable way to face the problem, need to get out of variance business. Ms. Susan Dulany said that Beaufort has a height limit of 35 feet and that it works for them. Ms. Linda Larsen showed Council drawings of houses built in different flood elevations, stating that with the "envelope" that they would be the same. Ms. Sallie Keller said that she does understand the concept and that she is against the ordinance. Ms. Keller stated that there is no limitation on the roof and no definition of roof requirements and that most of the people who have spoken in favor are either contractors or in real estate. Mr. Bob Elderman said that he has been hearing that you can not trust people and that the City could define roof line. Ms. Venetia Butler said that each side has good points but she stated that if you can not comply then don't buy, when rules are set then go by them. Ms. Katrina Hughes that the City can control the pitches on the roofs, and if we need to work on it, let's do it. Ms. Hughes said that this is far too important an issue for a vote to be taken without the Mayor present. Citizens speaking for the ordinance were Jo Marie Buckley, Alice Martin; against were Kathryn Garlington, Randy Warner. Jack Boyslton said economic reason should be considered, Captain Richard Vernon stated that we have a beautiful island and should be careful, and Earl Schaffer said we should control height by the roof, and gave opinions that were not for or against.

Every employee of the City has a duty to protect and safeguard the rights and opportunities of every other employee to seek, obtain, and hold employment without subjugation to sexual harassment of any kind in the workplace. Ensuring a workplace environment free of sexual harassment is a goal that all employees are to share and to work together toward achieving. All employees are responsible for the implementation of and compliance with this goal. Definition Sexual harassment is defined as: 1. making unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when submission to, or rejection of such conduct is made, explicitly or implicitly, and basis for any decision affecting employee status (e.g., pay, promotion, assignment, termination, etc.); or 2. creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment through: a. verbal conduct - sexual innuendoes, suggestive comments, jokes of a sexual nature or sexual propositions; or b. non - verbal conduct - sexual suggestive objects or pictures, graphic commentaries, leering, whistling, or obscene gestures; or c. physical conduct - unwanted physical contact of any nature including touching, pinching or brushing the body. Such conduct is prohibited in the workplace. The term harassment generally suggests a pattern of conduct; however, an isolated instance of conduct as described above could constitute harassment depending on the circumstances of the particular incident. 1 1 1 Implementation The City of Tybee Island requests and encourages any employee who believes that he /she has been subjected to any such prohibited conduct described above by any other employee to report the incident(s) to his /her immediate supervisor. If the alleged conduct is that of the immediate supervisor, the employee is encouraged to report such incident(s) directly to the Department Head. If the alleged conduct is that of the Department Head the employee is encouraged to report such incident(s) to the City Manager. The immediate supervisor, Department Head, or City Manager, as applicable, shall conduct a prompt, confidential investigation of all alleged incident(s) of prohibited conduct. Any employee who is found to have either engaged in, or condoned prohibited conduct will be subject to disciplinary action, as appropriate, up to and including termination. Non - Retaliation This goal also prohibits retaliation against employees who bring harassment charges or assist in investigating charges. Any employee bringing a sexual harassment complaint or assisting in the investigation of such a complaint will not be adversely affected in terms and conditions of employment, nor discriminated against or discharged because of the complaint. Appeals Decisions made under this section may be appealed in the same manner as any other personnel decision, pursuant to Section 2 -4- 11. ADOPTED THIS 10th DAY OF October, 1996.
