Youmans gave a summary of the beach renourishment concerning the crossovers placed over the dunes for protection. Since we have crossovers we need to have parking for tourists and residents. There is a 60 X 90 foot area that was designated for parking. Youmans said he spoke with City Manager Farmer and there is a memo dated March 26, 1998 that he moves for adoption. Hosti seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous. Youmans asked that Farmer get started on this immediately. Merves asked about the paving of the Museum.

Youmans stated that Farmer and Parker are working on this and he would like to see the groins in place before any sand is pumped. Vote By Council was unanimous. Farmer said that Chief Jim Price is trying to locate a traffic engineer to help with the traffic study of the entire island, speed limits, stop signs and traffic flow. Farmer said that the 25 MPH speed signs have been ordered for Jones Avenue and that Price has received approval for the City to use radar on Jones Avenue. Youmans said that he had read a memo from Farmer about Superintendent William Pye getting bids for the stripping of the double yellow lines on Jones. Farmer said that No Passing Signs will be placed under the speed limit signs. Hosti asked Farmer if this new wage scale and classification information is the same one from January and does it just reflect the COLA for the employees? Farmer said it reflects one new job description in parking and the COLA and several changes from the one from a year ago. 1 1 1 Youmans moved for adoption and Pearce seconded. Merves asked if there are any hidden costs. Farmer explained about the changes in the classifications of some jobs by separating them into two. Youmans asked if there are any raises in the scale other than the COLA raise in January. Farmer said no. Vote by Council was unanimous. Pearce moved to adopt Section 6 -1 -10 Tapping/Stubbing fees, meters on its second reading. Monaghan seconded. Vote by Council was 4 in favor (Merves, Monaghan, Hosti, Pearce); 1 opposed (Youmans).

Youmans moved to adopt Section 5 -2 -23 (A) & (D) on its first reading with one change that would be to remove the sentence "Multiple dwelling complexes may be supplied with fewer than one rollout container per unit, as determined by the City Manager." under paragraph (A). Merves seconded. Farmer said that we are losing money on each billing if they do not need the extra carts. Merves withdrew his second. Hughes said that this is on the first reading.

Farmer stated that this paragraph is designed to get around people selling units without getting a Certificate of Occupancy. Vote by Council was unanimous. Hughes read Section 7 -2 -1 City Facility Use for its first reading. Hosti stated that he thinks Council made a mistake by asking Tybee residents to pay a booking fee - maybe a $50.00 deposit. Monaghan said that this ordinance is very difficult to read. Monaghan said that a group of residents have renovated the Community House stating that it needs to be spelled out who is going to inspect the buildings. Monaghan said that a very responsible person with a check list should do this job, like the City Marshal. Merves agrees that the facility needs to be checked before the next person uses it, some kind of accountability is needed. Hosti said that we don't know who leaves the messes. Youmans said that it would only take about 5 minutes each morning to check the Community House. Pearce moved to adopt on first reading. Hosti seconded. Youmans asked Hughes if he had to have a written policy in front of Council in order to adopt because he feels like a policy is definitely needed. Vote on the motion was 4 in favor (Merves, Hosti, Anderson, Pearce); 2 opposed (Youmans, Monaghan). Youmans moved for a written policy concerning the inspection of the facility after each use. Monaghan seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous. Hosti requested that Section 6 -1 -10 be brought back for discussion concerning the cost for a water meter for sprinkler or watering garden only. Youmans said that we should do away with letting people purchase a meter for watering of the grass or the garden since we have problems. Hughes explained the McCusker property between 15th Street and Atlantic Avenue stating that there is a roadway showing on the plat, Hughes said that the McCuskers' need an affidavit from the Clerk of Council stating that the City has no interest in the property or the roadway. Youmans moved to go into executive session to discuss litigation. Monaghan seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous. Anderson reconvened the regular meeting. Farmer explained the sewer problem at Lift Station # 3 stating that it has failed and that we are now on by pass pumps. Authorization for the design work was approved at the last Council meeting. The cost for the construction work will be in the $30 to $40 thousand dollar range. Youmans moved to approve the construction work and that it will be paid by funding out of the SPLOST funds. Pearce seconded. Youmans said that we had already approved using SPLOST funds to get us up to par in the water and sewer department and all was to be paid by the SPLOST funding. Farmer said that we can have a GEFA loan that is readily available within a week. This loan will be paid back with SPLOST funds. Mayor Pro Tem Anderson adjourned the meeting at 8:47 P.M. 1 .3 r -jr.
