1998 -02 -26 City Council Minutes
The Tybee Island City Council held it February 26th meeting at the City Hall. Mayor
Walter W. Parker called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M. with the following members of Council
present: Ed Merves, Jack Youmans, Anne P. Monaghan, Donald E. Anderson, Jr., Michael A.
Hosti, and Mallory Pearce. City Attorney Edward Hughes was present to advise Council on legal
matters.
Ms.Alice Martin gave the invocation followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor Parker stated that a councilmember has requested that an item be added to the
agenda. Councilmember Monaghan said that the speed zone ordinance needs some adjustments.
Mayor Parker opened the meeting for business legally presented. Monaghan moved to
approve Section 10 -1-4 Speed Zones on its first reading with the correction on the DOT ordinance
of Lewis Avenue at 20 miles per hour and Jones as SR 26. Pearce seconded. Vote by Council was
unanimous.
Mr. Bernard Goode said that he has a letter from DOT stating that Jones Avenue is under
the power of Tybee Island. Mr. Goode gave the history of the request for the 4 way stop signs on
Jones Avenue saying that he would like a vote on this request tonight. Hosti said that Council can
not vote as there is not an ordinance in front of them. Youmans asked what became of the engineer
study by the City Manager? Mayor Parker answered that Mr. Farmer has been working on it and
has compiled where all the stop signs are located on the island with the help of the police
department. Chief Price said that out of 17 days in October that 31,000 cars used Jones Avenue,
what will it be like in June, July and August? Price said that if we erect the stop signs that the
traffic will move to Butler Avenue and there will be traffic jams. Pearce said that he had spoken
with Fanner and that his information is being turned over to Hussey, Gay, Bell and DeYoung.
Pearce moved that we don't go all the way with the stop signs but to place them on 6th and
12th Streets. Monaghan seconded. Anderson stated that he believes we need to wait on the study
to be complete. Youmans agrees with Anderson. Merves said that a lot of accidents occur because
people don't stop at stop signs and there is no pattern of the signs on the island. Merves stated that
you just don't put up signs and then take them down, we need the engineers for a professional
opinion. Merves said that maybe the traffic devise at 14th Street could be moved down here.
Parker said that all traffic devises have to be approved by DOT. Youmans explained about how
long and difficult it was to get a traffic devise at Campbell Avenue. Howard Arata, John Jarvis
and Alice Martin spoke against the 4 way stop signs Monaghan said that the 4 way stops might
not be the answer, we can put them up and see if they work, can always take down. Martin said
that lower speed limit of 25 MPH and police the street early in the mornings and in the afternoon
when the children are coming and going to school. Martin said that the police should not give any
warning tickets. Fire Chief Jimmy Brown stated that a stop sign is a traffic control devise, it gives
someone a right of way. Brown stated that we need Jones as a straight through street and
recommends 25 MPH, double yellow lines for no passing, large interstate speed limit signs and to
patrol heavy. Brown said that the citizens of Tybee are the ones who are speeding. Ms. Sallie
Keller said that Jones is a narrow street and that when kids are riding bikes that there is no way
that a car coming towards you can pass safety. Anderson asked what do we have to do in order to
double yellow line Jones? Vote on the motion was 3 in favor (Monaghan, Merves, Pearce); 3
opposed (Youmans, Anderson, Hosti). Mayor Parker broke the tie by opposing stating that we
need the traffic study before making a decision. Pearce moved to double yellow line Jones
1
Avenue. Hosti seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
David Rutherford, Planning Director of the RDC, presented Council with two proposals
concerning the Short Term Work Program Update $3,197 (Master Plan) and the Solid
Waste Management Update $1,357. explaining when they are due to the State and what is
involved in completing each proposal. Hosti questioned if the cost of either project goes over the
amount of the contract what money amount is used as a figure. Rutherford answered that it would
be an hourly figure. Youmans asked who prepared the 93 -95 plans. Rutherford answered that the
City did it themselves. Youmans said that at that time the City did not have a City Manager nor an
assistant City Manager. Mayor Parker stated that it was probably done by the Planning
Commission. Pearce moved that both proposals be accepted by Council. Monaghan seconded.
Youmans asked where this expense is located in the budget. Farmer said that it would come out of
the Inspection Department, but that it was not budgeted for 98. Vote by Council was 4 in favor
(Merves, Monagfian, Anderson, Pearce); 2 opposed (Youmans, Hosti).
Mr.Henry Levy of the Tybrisa Park Commission explained to Council what they would
like to see happen at the intersection of Butler/Inlet/Tybrisa and showed a plan for the park.
Merves said he fully supports the wonderful idea and asked if this project would be spread out and
if there was an estimated dollar figure? Levy answered that this would be a 6 to 7 year project.
Merves asked if there can be money from pledges, stating that you need most of the money before
you start. Youmans said that it has been stated that all the people have been questioned and all
were satisfied. Levy answered that all were questioned but not all were satisfied. Levy said that
John Hunter of the Hunter House is opposed and Mola Chu Jung is concerned about the parking.
Ms. Debbie Robinson presented Council with a plan and a letter (attached to minutes) from
Ginger Strickland who could not attend the meeting. Ms. Robinson stated that the Tybee Arts
Association supports the park concept. Mayor Parker said that there could be additional parking
down Inlet Avenue. Charlie Waggoner thanked all persons who have worked so hard on this
project. Waggoner said that before Chief Price left the meeting that he said that he is totally in
favor, that it would present no traffic problems. Waggoner said that he would take all suggestions,
that he has worked on projects in the City of Savannah Waggoner said he would like to see the
area curbed and guttered and sod laid. Waggoner said that he is requesting Council to approve the
plan in concept, dedicate the property for the park, assistance for DPW and W/S in sweat equity
to help cut costs, and seed money in the amount of $20,000. Merves said that this should be
placed in the CIP program and that way we can use SPLOST funds. Hosti said he does not think
this is a CIP project. Youmans said that later on in the meeting Council will be facing a decision
on the upgrade and repairing of the waste water plant somewhere in the amount of 2 million
dollars. Youmans believes that we should wait until the plant is fixed. Hosti said that he agrees
with the plan and maybe the City can allot $10,000. Pearce asked when the money would be
needed and what would it be spent on? Levy said that hopefully the engineering plan would be
donated. Farmer suggested that the City should not spend any City funds until the Commission has
money in the bank. Waggoner said that he is not certain how much the project will cost but hopes
to get it all paid for with donations. Denny McNealy and Sally Keller spoke against the idea. Sam
Adams said that he has spoken with about 25 people in the South End Neighborhood Association
and the majority has no problem with the park concept. Frank Schuman said it is a good idea but
that there is no mention of the American natives that named Tybee Tybee. Alice Martin said that it
is a wonderful idea but premature in funding. A time frame is needed and the City can make the
first move by dedicating the land. Hosti stated that the City just needs to give them some seed
money, maybe a couple of thousand dollars.
Merves moved to dedicate the land for a public park, accept the preliminary drawing
or concept, assistance from the DPW and W/S departments, and to come back to Council
1

with any changes. Pearce seconded. Mr.Jim Klutz said that the City needs to be very specific on
the land in dimension and boundaries. Dr. O'Shaugbnessy said that this began as an idea to
beautify and promote the pier, the fountain will draw attention, the flags will add color and splash,
maybe this will be like the squares in downtown Savannah Youmans said he does not hardly
agree on anything with Jim Klutz but that we need to know what we are dedicating as a park, need
to know the land size. Vote by Council was 5 in favor (Nerves, Monaghan, Anderson, Hosti,
Pearce); 1 opposed (Youmans).
Hosti moved to grant the Commission $5,000 in seed money. Anderson seconded.
Youmans asked where this money is coming from? Hosti answered that the City has $983,000 in
bank. Vote by Council was 5 in favor (Merves, Mona han Anderson, Hosti, Pearce); 1 opposed
(Youmans).
Mayor Parker called for a five minutes break at this time.
Pearce moved to accept the January minute as written. Anderson seconded. Vote by
Council was unanimous.
Pearce moved to approve the January bills. Anderson seconded. Vote by Council was
unanimous. (copy of bills attached and becomes part of these minutes)
Monaghan moved to accept the agreement from LARP for the resurfacing of 3 city
streets - .0788KM Project # LAU 27- 8531 -42 (051) 1 lth Street from Butler to Jones; 3rd Street
from Butler to Jones; and Lovell from Highway 80 to 4th Street. Pearce seconded. Vote by
Council was unanimous.
Mayor Parker asked if Anderson would present the Red Cross Proclamation on March
2, 1998 at the Red Cross on Habersham.
Merves moved that in order to assure continued success with the joint Tybee and YMCA
in -line hockey programs, that the City of Tybee will assist and cooperate with the YMCA in
providing a suitable area for practices and play and a designated area for free parking will be
provided to the participants during these times, such as, parking permits for kids that are
registered for the program. Pearce seconded. Youmans questioned the time of the operation.
Merves said same time period as last year; practices on March 23rd; games start April 13 and
ends to May 23rd on Saturdays from about 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Mayor Parker asked if the games
could be scheduled earlier. Merves answered that some teams travel from Liberty County but that
the Y can work with the Parking Department and the City Manager. Hosti said that we do not
need to hinder a program for children that is doing well. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Pearce moved to approve the schedule in the letter written by Hussey, Gay, Bell and
DeYoung in reference to the Tybee Island WWTP NPDES Permit Compliance Schedule dated
February 25, 1998 and to request a contract proposal for the March 12th Council meeting.
Monaghan seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Youmans moved that any expense from the study or the work be paid for with
forward funding from SPLOST. Parker stated that we are going to get some grant monies.
Youmans included this grant money into his motion. Pearce seconded. Vote by Council was
unanimous.
Youmans moved to approve Section 2 -4 -13 Annual Leave (4) Pay in lieu of vacation
leave on its second reading. Anderson seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Pearce moved to approve Section 2 -4 -13 Annual Leave (4)(5) Pay in lieu of vacation
leave on its second reading. Anderson seconded. City Attorney Hughes said this was allowed for
second reading. Parker said that the City Attorney will clean up the ordinance. Vote by Council
was unanimous.

By Ginger Strit:klas►nd, former City Planner.
A committee has been formed of individuals for ideas & fund raising to beautify the area
between Izler, Butler and Inlet avenues in front of Arby's The fact that such plans are
'airing place to enhance Tybee is nothing short of wonderful.
The committee plans to ask for four (4) things this evening:
1) Approval of the plan
2) S20,000 loan from the City
3) Dedication of City property for the project
4) Removal of City council from the final decision of the plan's acceptance
PROS:
1) Beautification
2) Better definition of Traffic patterns
3)..Outstanding vision and ideas of those preparing the plan
Possible shortcomings:
1) Parking spaces eliminated:
a) The park does not incorporate parking with meters to help generate
money for future maintenance.
b) Removes parking that is now on Private property and privately
maintained.
c) City right of way "dedicated" with no meters to those businesses.
Meaning now the city must use Tax payor dollars to maintain
the area.
d) Greater interests in the area (i.e.; gallery, frame shop, cafe) create a need
for more not less parking .
2) No accommodations for handicapped or parents with small children to park or
bicycle to park to enjoy park or shopping areas.
3) removal of City Council from the decision making process
COMPROMISE:
1) Create park with slight alterations
2) Increase Parking revenue to maintain the park
3) Leave private parking on private property for private maintenance.
4) Appeal to residents and businesses for private funding - sweat equity and
community effort.
5) Committee says parking does not create enough revenue to warrant keeping it,
however, double parking with 30 minute meters will increase revenues.
6) City Council (elected officials) remain with respect to the decision making
process of the plan.

RED CROSS MONTH - MARCH
The Red Cross, as a symbol and an ideal, has meant help to many of
the residents in our county, let alone to people around the world.
The mission of the Red Cross as a humanitarian organization led by
volunteers has been fulfilled for over 80 years in our area. They
provide relief for victims of disaster, as well as help people
prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies in a manner that is
consistent with its congressional charter and the fundamental
principles of the International Red Cross Movement.
WHEREAS: Individuals who were victims in over 150 single family
fires were assisted in Bryan, Chatham, Effingham and
Screven Counties through the helping hands of the Red
Cross;
WHEREAS: Over 2,000 services were provided to military personnel
and their families through the Savannah Chapter and
Hunter Army Airfield;
WHEREAS: One of the greatest volunteer movements in history is
illustrated daily in our area through the work of the
people who believe that a successful life must include
serving others;
WHEREAS: Thousands of persons needing blood received it due to the
recruitment, collection and distribution of the whole
blood donated through Red Cross Blood Services.
WHEREAS: Over 17,000 certificates were issued in CPR, Standard
First Aid, HIV /AIDS Education and Water Safety
Instruction during 1997 - bringing Commodore Longfellow's
vision to greater heights than could ever be imagined.
WHEREAS: The City of Tybee has a wonderful working relationship
with the Red Cross concerning the drives held at Tybee
for the convenience of the citizens to donate blood on a
regular basis.
Therefore, I, Mayor Walter W. Parker, do hereby proclaim the month
of March as American Red Cross Month. I urge all citizens in our
community to continue your generous support and assistance to the
work of this humanitarian organization.
Adopted this 26th day of February, 1998.
