Parker presided with the following members of Council present: Ed Merves, Jack Youmans, William Remeta, Michael A. Hosti, Mallory Pearce and John O'Neill. City Attorney Edward Hughes and City Manger Bill Farmer were also present. Mayor Parker asked Mr. Henry Levy to give the Invocation. Mr. Levy explained the difference between a non - Jewish and a Jewish prayer. The audience then recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Mr. Michael Scarbrough, representing the Tybee Council of the Greater Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Clifford Meads, Savannah Convention and Visitors Bureau, along with the Mayor and Council presented a plaque to the McCusker family honoring their mother, Wilma Hickman McCusker, for her many services to the community. Mr. Steve McCusker was the family spokesperson. He said his mother had done so much for her family and the community and thanked all for the honor and recognition bestowed on their mother. Wilma and Jack bought a summer vacation home on Officers Row in 1962 and became permanent residents after Jack McCusker retired from Sears. Steve stated that his mother had great civic pride, loved this island and its people. Steve said that he knows Wilma is smiling down on us right now. Mr. Arnold Bragg said that he just wanted to thank Council for getting the pot holes in Chatham Avenue repaired and also for correcting a drainage problem of three years ago. Mr. Carl Looper of the Tybee Beautification Committee asked permission from Council to place a shuffle board and a boccie court for adult activities in the Jaycee Park. Mr. Looper said that the area could be by the basketball courts and the sidewalk. Councilman Remeta said this is a great idea and Councilman Merves asked assurance that there would be no encroachment onto the ballfield. Mr. Ron Lawing asked Council to waive all fees and grant a permit for Doo -Dah 97 to be held on the pavilion on September 20 from 4 P.M. until 12 midnight. Proceeds will go to help defray the costs of repairs due to vandalism done on the pavilion and the restrooms. For a $10.00 admission you will get food, beverage and music. Michael Hosti also requested at least two parking spaces near the Marine Science Center for a grill to cook the food because you are not allowed to cook on the pavilion. Mary Ingalls, President of the Arts Association, announced that a Festival of Arts will be held on October llth and 12th at the Tybee Pier /Pavilion, free to the public. She expressed interest also in the agenda item concerning culture, recreation and fine arts commissions, saying the Arts Association began with 20 and 1 1 1 is now at 106 active members. Mayor Parker opened a Public Hearing for Bob and Marty Lee requesting a minor subdivision of one lot off the back of their property at 16 Van Horn (PIN #4- 3 -9 -3). She explained that they had remodeled an old fire - damaged building and the tax assessors now think it is worth a lot more. In order to stay on Tybee they would like to sell a lot with 9600 square feet in a 12000 square foot residential zone. The reason for the lot reduction is to preserve a small stand of woods including some fine old live oak trees. Councilman Hosti remarked that there will be little back yard and Councilman Pearce asked about the unspoiled woodland. No one from the audience wished to speak and the hearing was closed. Bonnie Gaster spoke for a revision in Phase I North Wave - Richard Marlow subdivision at 1421 Highway 80 (PIN #4- 22 -1 -8B) and gave Council copies of a revised final plat showing an additional 15 feet to lots 20, 21 and 22. Angela Byers approached the Council table and explained the plans. Mayor Parker remarked that the change is just an increase in lot size. No one in the audience wished to speak and the hearing was closed. Angela Byers explained the background of a February request from former City Council member Mariann Wildi that the Planning Commission look again at the building height issue. Whitley Reynolds introduced the Planning Commission recommendation of 39 feet for residential, explaining that he feels this is a workable height. Councilman Hosti asked if this would restrict the house to two stories and Mr. Reynolds answered that the number of floors was not addressed in the recommendation. There were no more questions. Ken Wade introduced and explained the Planning Commission's recommendation of a 45' height limit for commercial construction. He handed out a diagram to the Councilmembers and noted that, due to variances in the past few years, there are several structures in the commercial zone that are about 45' high, remarking that the 45' height will lead to more consistency. Councilman Hosti said that it isn't specified if this will lead to three floors of living space and Ken answered yes, it could. Councilman Merves said this could lead to four floors with a flat roof. Penn Myrick, from the audience, said that he is experienced in building and you could not build a four -floor structure. Sally Keller spoke, handing out a minority report from the 3 dissenting Planning Commission members. There was applause from the audience. Mayor Parker asked how many variances have been granted in the past two years and Angela Byers answered there were none in the commercial district, and 5 in RT and R zones. Linda Larson handed out a written report of the majority opinion, and said that property values are sky high and rising. She said the present height limit tends to encourage businesses that can make a profit in a small area - bars, topless bars, adult entertainment - and that Wilma McCusker, honored earlier tonight, had to demolish the water slide because the 1 1 1 taxes were so high due to the value of the land. Ms. Larson called Council's attention to two side -by -side townhouse units on the south beach - one was granted a variance and the other one not. One has a pitched roof, the other a flat roof.She said you have to walk to the end of the pier to see the difference; it can't be detected from the street. She said the Planning Commission, in its study, was trying to do the right thing and asked Council please not to table the issue again. Also speaking in favor was Bonnie Gaster who cited the flood law, and said people have the right to the same amount of living space as people had in the past. Penn Myrick also spoke in favor, saying that the parking requirement is strict enough to limit density. He suggested that the flat roof is the real issue. Jeanne Hutton spoke against the height change, saying the change is more serious than the Council may realize since the suggested method of measuring height does not conform to SBCCI. Henry Levy also spoke against the proposed height definition. The hearing was closed. The meeting was opened for business-legally presented. Carl Looper said that the adult game area in Jaycee Park will not impact the present baseball field. Mayor Parker said the area and layout will have to be approved prior to construction and the Council accepted the project unanimously. The Doodah permit /fee waiver was approved unanimously on motion by Councilman Hosti, seconded by Councilman Youmans. Councilman Hosti moved to approve the minor subdivision for the Lees. Councilman Merves seconded, and the motion passed without dissent. Final plat revisions for Richard Marlowe were approved unanimously on motion and second by Councilmen Hosti and Youmans. The Planning Commission height recommendations were next considered. Councilman Youmans moved for approval, with a second by Councilman Remeta. The vote was two to four with Councilmen Merves, O'Neill, Hosti and Pearce voting against. The motion failed and no changes to the height regulations were made. Councilman Remeta spoke of wanting to see absentee ballots handled here at Tybee for the people's convenience, but said he understands that there are complications due to advertisements and the Election Board's position. He noted that the Elections Board did not listen to the wishes of Council. After a short discussion it was announced that the last opportunity to register to vote in the municipal election is October 6th at 4:15 p.m. Mayor Parker introduced some of those who have already qualified to run: all of the present Council - joking with the audience that if they like what they have here they can get it back - and introducing also the following candidates from the audience: Pat Locklear, Tommy Barlow and Frank Schuman. 1 1 1 Councilman Remeta gave a summary of the work done by the recreation committee he and Jack served on, saying that the recommendation of the committee is to form a Recreation Commission. There was discussion as to how best form the commission quickly, with advice from the City Attorney. Councilman Hosti moved to approve the formation of a Recreation Commission as outlined in ordinances 7 -4 -1 through 7 -4 -5 and Councilman Remeta seconded, offering an amendment that a member of the City Council and someone from the YMCA serve as Ex Officio members. Councilman Hosti accepted the amendment to his motion and both amendment and main motion passed without dissent. Councilman Pearce asked why the terms are planned to be staggered, and it was explained that this will provide continuity with all future members being appointed for three years. Councilman Youmans moved for immediate Second Reading with Councilman Remeta seconding. The vote was unanimous in favor. Ordinances 7 -4 -1 through 7 -4 -5 establishing the Recreation Commission were then read again. City Attorney Hughes requested that the numbers of the section be changed because of Council deciding not to change the Fines Arts ordinances,. The new numbered section would be 7 -4 -6 through 7 -6 -10. Mary Ingalls asked that someone from the Arts Association be asked to serve on the Recreation Commission due to the close relationship of the arts to recreation. Councilman Merves said that these are not closed meetings and everyone can sit in. Stacy Gibboni suggested that the commission encompass all three - arts, recreation and culture. Councilman Youmans said that is just what he is trying to avoid. It was suggested that Councilman Merves be the Council's liaison, but Councilman Youmans objected due to the fact that Councilman Merves serves on the Y Board. Councilman Remeta moved that the representative be Councilman Hosti; Councilman Youmans seconded and the vote in favor was unanimous. Mayor Parker suggested that Councilman Hosti call a meeting of the Recreation Board. Appointments for a 3 year term expiring January 31st in the year 2001 are Alice Martin, Henry "Bucky" Chafin and Carl Looper. For two year terms are Sonny Whitman, Joey Rentiers and Kenner Hendrix with terms expiring January 31st in the year 2000. Appointment for a 1 year term are Melissa Stettler, Jiggs Watson and Bubba Edgerly, III with expiring January 31st 1999. It was decided that there will be a short special meeting on Monday, September 15th at 7:30 p.m. to enact the necessary ordinances and to have the first meeting of the Commission advertised for 7:40 p.m. David Hacker spoke representing Gearon /Nextel about a communications tower, wishing to lease ground space (40' x 60') to construct a tower 150' high. Councilman Youmans asked if other companies could also put up antennae on the tower and the answer was affirmative. Mr. Hacker explained that the cage would 1 1 1 be triangular in shape, with room for two devices on each side. Mr. Hughes said the water tank in Fort Screven has as many communications devices as it can handle satisfactorily. Councilman Pearce moved that the City Attorney be allowed to negotiate a contract; Councilman Remeta seconded offering an amendment that the lease funds be allocated to the gym fund. Councilman Youmans seconded the amendment which passed unanimously. Vote on the main motion was 5 - 1 with Councilman O'Neill opposing. Councilman Hosti moved that the gym fund be kept in the Investment Pool with all interest from the gym funds to accrue to the gym fund as well. Councilman Remeta seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Margaret Moore of the Chatham County Registrars Office was appointed Absentee Ballot Clerk for the upcoming municipal election on motion and second by Councilmen Pearce and Merves respectively. On Mayor Parker's nomination, Henry Levy was appointed to serve on the CUTS Advisory Committee with motion and second by Councilmen Pearce and Hosti. The vote was unanimous in favor. A $35,000 grant from GEFA for solid waste and recycling was discussed lengthily. Ro Fripp explained that the grant originally requested had $160,000 in equipment - a tub grinder with loader attachment. GEFA recommends against equipment this large due to cost of maintenance and operation. After several months of looking, DPW has come up with an alternative - a chipper and a bobcat that can be used for other tasks as well as for handling dry trash. The chipper cost is $21,000 and the bobcat approximately $22,000. Matching cash would be about $15,000, which can probably be found in DPW's budget. In -kind services such as site preparation and training can probably make up the rest of the match. Councilman Youmans questioned where the cash can come from, and Dr. Farmer suggested allocation of SPLOST funds. Councilman Remeta asked if this could be a part of the FY 98 budget, and was told that the deadline makes that impractical. It was noted that refusal of the grant, which was larger than that allowed most county applicants, would make it less likely that GEFA would fund future grant applications. Councilman Hosti moved in favor with a second by Councilman Pearce. Vote was 3 - 3, with Councilmen O'Neill, Remeta and Youmans opposing. Mayor Parker broke the tie in favor and the grant was accepted by a vote of 4 - 3. Bill Farmer said that the budget recommendation will be made at the October meeting. The first draft is in Council's hands, but there is more work to be done. Councilman Remeta said that since 1994 we have spent, spent, spent and that some departments have spent far more than others. Ro Fripp said that there is a table in the agenda package showing Tybee's position in comparison to towns of 10,000 or less and 5,000 or less statewide; it reflects 1 1 1 what we all know - plenty of evidence that the barrier island /tourism economy affects our spending and our income, making our financial picture different from most Georgia towns. There are a few surprises, too. Bill Farmer said that the Council may wish to indicate to the staff which departments in particular they'd like to see cut back. There was a lengthy discussion of the investment pool funds with Dr. Farmer explaining a possible alternative - placing the funds in a local bank and using them as security against forward funding from future SPLOST income. This would allow Council to allocate funds for capital projects this year and next, without delay. It was noted that the city has done a request for proposal to local banks in the past, and that part of the agreement with Trust Company Bank, now SunTrust, included counting of coins from parking meters, and the placing of an ATM on the island. Councilman Remeta moved that the funds be left in the government pool, with a second from Councilman Youmans. The vote was 3 in favor of the motion, with 2 opposed (Councilmen Hosti and Pearce). Councilman Merves abstained and the funds will stay in the investment pool while a study of various rates is done before deciding what is the best choice. Councilman Hosti said he remembered being told when he first came into office that the waste water treatment plant was okay until 2025, and now the engineers are saying we need $4 million for expansion. Councilman O'Neill suggested a meeting with EPD officials to talk about the problems they see, and Councilman Youmans seconded, agreeing that we need to find out what we are obligated to do before actually committing any funds, and that we also need to complete the water tank. He added that EPD did grant us some relief on the drinking water situation, and possibly something similar could be done with wastewater, since it is only two months per year that we have a problem. Ro Fripp stated that the drinking water solution was the result of three or four years effort on the part of two mayors. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion and a meeting with EPD will be sought. Bill Farmer said that the BellSouth lease had been approved months ago, but there were changes and that Bubba Hughes has worked out a lease. On motion and second by Councilmen Hosti and Remeta, the changes were approved by a vote of 5 - 1 with Councilman O'Neill casting the dissenting vote and saying that he believes the city needs to do some long range planning or else we will wind up with a lot of communications towers on the island. Councilman Pearce said there is a model local ordinance on communications towers that can be implemented and Council should look into it. Bubba Hughes said that a public hearing will be needed under the zoning ordinance. The subject will be a part of the October agenda. Bills for the month of August were approved by unanimous vote on 1 1 1 motion of Councilman Pearce, seconded by Councilman Hosti. Mayor Parker said the department heads ought to be warned to cut down on spending, and Council accepted this suggestion by consensus. Councilman Youmans moved that the order about spending be given in writing - that we're approaching the end of the year and not to spend anything at all that's not in the budget except in dire emergency. Councilman Remeta seconded and the vote was unanimous in favor. Bill Farmer summarized the results of the recent health coverage survey performed at the behest of Council. Councilman Youmans wanted to know how many employees have been here less than 5 years and would like to have family coverage. This information wasn't immediately available. Councilman Merves moved that permanent employees, when they become eligible for insurance coverage, pay the same amount as employees with greater length of service. Several members offered a second to the motion, and it passed unanimously. Bill Farmer informed Council that a survey of Palmwood - Railwood was shown to the residents who requested paving, and it was agreed just to pave the area of right -of -way where vehicles have been traveling and spare the trees, fences, etc. Council had no objection to the plan. Whether or not to go out on bids for the 1997 audit was discussed. Mayor Parker asked if there were any problems with the state over our audits in recent years and Ro Fripp answered none, but tradition was to seek new bids every 2 or 3 years. Councilman Youmans moved that we stay with Tindol, Inc. one more year, Councilman Pearce seconded and the vote in favor was unanimous. Bill Farmer asked Council if they wanted to begin to seek an architect for the community project that is a part of the SPLOST referendum - the gym, community center complex at $519,000. Councilman Merves said he'd like to see a plan for a gym that won't cost $5 million. Councilman Remeta said he'd like to see us go forward with a simple gym. Councilman Hosti said he isn't in favor of voting dollars to an engineering firm. It was agreed that more information should be gathered before any funds are committed. Council decided, by consensus, not to consider an ordinance to allow sales of parking spaces on streets to private individuals at this time. Bill Farmer queried Council about the regulation of garage, estate, lawn sales. Councilman Youmans said people are going out of town, buying stuff for resale, and that's not a garage sale. Ro Fripp said state law regulates how many garage sales a person can hold without a state sales tax license. Bubba Hughes said we are covered by the language "casual and isolated" in our 1 1 1 ordinance - a garage sale every weekend for 5 or 6 weeks doesn't meet that definition and a court summons can be given at which time the Judge can be the arbiter. Bill Farmer asked if Council wanted to regulate the longterm parking of trailers in front of parking meters on Butler Avenue. Councilman Youmans said people have always used decals on anything they pay ad valorem taxes on - like boat trailers. A motion was offered by Councilman Pearce to approve a change to "motorized vehicles" and seconded by Councilman Hosti. The motion failed by a vote of 3 - 2 with Councilmen O'Neill, Remeta and Youmans opposing and Councilman Merves abstaining. A motion was then brought forward by Councilman Youmans that all things with Georgia State tags and paid ad valorem taxes be eligible for parking decals. This was seconded by Councilman Remeta and passed by a vote of 4 - 3, with Mayor Parker voting to break the tie. Voting for the motion were Councilmen Youmans, Remeta and Pearce; voting against were Councilmen Hosti, O'Neill and Merves. A new ordinance will be prepared for consideration in October. A new ordinance to go to two Council meetings per month Code Section 2 -1 -11 Number of Meetings per Month was read twice and passed unanimously on both meetings to be adopted at Monday night's meeting. Councilman O'Neill questioned why it was decided to have the public hearings at the first meeting each month and A.n.gcla Bycro3 Ro answered that it was more . ......... ............................... .............. ............................... convenient for Planning'oirimssori, Zoning Administrator and Clerk of Council due to advertising and similar requirements. A question was raised as to whether two meetings would be needed in November and December, since the meeting date will usually fall on Thanksgiving and Christmas weekends. Mayor Parker asked if meetings could be canceled as necessary, and the City Attorney said they could be rescheduled, but not canceled. Code Section 2 -4 -2 Allocation of Officers and Positions to Classified or Exempt Service was unanimously accepted on First Reading on motion and second by Councilmen Pearce and Hosti respectively. Code Section 4 -2 -11 Fire Subscription Rates was accepted on First Reading by a vote of 5 - 1 with Councilman Youmans casting the opposing vote. Code Section 4 -2 -13 Non - subscribers not Under Agreement passed unanimously on First Reading on motion of Councilman Pearce, seconded by Councilman Youmans. Code Section 7 -2 -1 City Hall Auditorium passed unanimously on First Reading on motion of Councilman Pearce, seconded by Councilman Remeta. The First Reading of 10 -1 -41 Reservation of Parking Space for Private Use, after discussion, was held for consideration at the October meeting. Code Section 10 -1 -42 Reservation of Parking Space for Mailbox Requirements was also held to the next meeting due to doubt as to what the federal postal requirements actually are. The City Manager was asked to investigate these regulations and prepare a report for the October meeting. 1 1 1 Code Section 10 -1 -43 Parking Lots was unanimously accepted on First Reading on motion and second by Councilmen Pearce and Hosti. Code Section 10 -1 -44 Motorized Carts Permitted for Government Use was accepted unanimously on First Reading, on motion by Councilman Pearce, seconded by Councilman Hosti. Second Reading of Code Section 7 -2 -2 Memorial Park Pavilion passed unanimously on motion of Councilman Pearce, seconded by Councilman Remeta. A copy is attached to, and becomes a part of, these minutes. Code Section 7 -2 -3 Community House unanimously passed on Second Reading on motion and second by Councilmen Pearce and Remeta respectively. A copy is attached to, and becomes a part of, these minutes. Councilman Pearce made, and Councilman Hosti seconded, a motion to accept Code Section 7 -2 -4 Old Tybee School on Second Reading. The motion passed unanimously and a copy is attached to, and becomes a part of, these minutes. Councilman Remeta asked if the movie people have paid the city what they owe us and Bill Farmer said most of it has been paid, and their insurance company is investigating the needed sidewalk repair. Councilman Youmans requested that an air conditioner be allocated to the Scout room. Code Section 9 -2 -7 Same Employees - Alcoholic Beverage Ordinance (to delete) was next considered. Councilman Pearce moved to delete, with a second by Councilman Hosti. There was discussion after which the vote was 2 - 4, and the motion failed with Councilmen Merves, Youmans, Remeta and O'Neill casting negative votes. The bar cards will continue to be required for the yearly $10.00 fee. On motion of Councilman Pearce, with a second by Councilman Remeta, the Council went into Executive Session to discuss pay rates for the City Manager and City Clerk. The meeting was reopened on motion of Councilman Hosti with a second by Councilman Pearce. Councilman Pearce moved that the salaries requested in the approved April pay rate schedule be approved. Councilman Youmans seconded. The vote was 2 to 3 (Councilmen Merves, Remeta and Hosti) and the motion failed. Councilman O'Neill abstained. Jacquelyn Brown received permission to speak and said that it isn't fair that her pay rate is not as shown on the adopted pay scale. She compared her salary and seventeen years' service to that of other employees who has fewer years with the city. She also said she should be making what the Chief of Police makes. Councilman Hosti countered that he has twenty -five years with the National Park Service and is in a supervisory position and makes very little more. Councilman Remeta moved that the Clerk be given a 15% raise and Councilman Hosti seconded. Bubba Hughes said he doesn't believe anybody looked at the pay rates when they 1 1 1 were voted on, and that this is what is causing the trouble. He expressed concern with going off the approved scale. Bill Farmer said that actually the statewide study is about two years old, so the rates are lower than they should be. Councilman O'Neill said no one has taken the time to bring him up to speed, and he needs feedback from the other elected officials as to what has been going on. Councilman Merves said the City Manager's performance should be evaluated once a year and a salary adjustment made then if necessary. Councilman Youmans said this question has nothing to do with job performance; it has to do with what Council passed last April. Councilman O'Neill said this concerned the two employees who are out front when the elected officials aren't - they're not like hourly employees. Mayor Parker expressed the opinion that no one could have done a better job than Mr. Farmer and he deserves a raise. He said we all (the elected officials) depend on Jackie to keep us out of jail and she's probably one of the best clerks around. Her job is more important than the Chief of Police. Councilman Remeta said so large a raise is excessive. Councilman Youmans said it's wrong to pick two people out of the pay rates we passed in April and not honor what we approved. Bubba Hughes said he'd be concerned if Council hedged on April's agreement. Ro Fripp said the pay rates reflected duties in many cases, since Tybee's job descriptions don't perfectly fit those of the statewide study and Jackie's job rate reflects that of Personnel Director as well as Clerk. She said staff disagreed on some of the conclusions as judgement is a factor and suggested Council's future involvement in the preparation of job descriptions and pay rates so that the elected officials can reach consensus as to what is fair in their judgement. Councilman O'Neill moved that the two positions of Clerk and Manager be paid according to the approved scale as suggested by the City Manager. Councilman Pearce seconded. Voting for the motion were Councilmen O'Neill, Pearce and Youmans. Voting against the motion were Councilmen Merves, Hosti and Remeta. Mayor Parker broke the tie in favor of the motion and the raises were approved. The meeting was adjourned. Mayor Walter W. Parker Assistant City Manager Rowena Fripp 1 1 MEMORANDUM Date: September 4, 1997 From: Ro To: Bill, Mayor & Council Subject: Recycling & Waste Reduction Grant 1 propose that we accept the $35,000 grant for dry trash offered by the State. Billy Pye has recommended the following equipment be purchased with the grant funds: -- Holland Skid Steer Loader (multi- purpose bobcat) at $21,000.00. -- Vermeer 18" Capacity Brush Chipper at $28,710.00. The total cost is $49,710.00. James Thompson of GEFA, in a recent telephone conversation, said this would be an approved use of the grant funds. GEFA does not recommend the large tub grinder we proposed in the grant - too labor intensive and expensive to maintain. The site preparation work (done inhouse by DPW) will make up the difference for the 50% local match requirement. 1 1 ® BELLSOUTH Mobility D(S' 3353 Peachtree Road, N.E.
