Mayor Walter W. Parker called the October 12, 2000 City Council meeting to
order at 7 PM with the following members of Council present: James G. Burke, Jr., Jack
Youmans, Shirley Sessions, Anne Monaghan, Pamela O'Brien and Mallory Pearce. City
Manager Tom Cannon and City Attorney Edward Hughes were present.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited after the invocation given by the Reverend
Lee Bennett.

County Commission in November. Mahaney said that he had a great relationship with
Tybee 93 -96, worked closely with Tybee on the Volleyball. Mahaney introduced his
wife Joan and asked for support from Tybee in the upcoming election in November.
J R Roseberry presented Councilmember Jack Youmans with a framed
certificate claiming that Jack has the distinction of being the first mortal to receive
Historic Designation Award. Youmans thanked all involved and said he agreed with
everything J R said about the criteria in order to win this award.
Mayor Parker announced that while he and Youmans were in Atlanta for the
ACCG GMA Fall Conference that he was presented with the City of Ethics plaque, only
50 cities in the state have achieved this honor.
Rachel Perkins gave a brief update on the Greenspace Plan. Perkins said that the
working map will be on display at City Hall for citizens to see the status of the study.
Sessions thanked Perkins for the tour she held for Council and the Planning Commission
members. Monaghan asked Perkins in her final report to please prioritized from her point
of view and how the City should go about implementing the plan.
Mayor Parker announced the promotion of Chris Case and Michael Hogan to Lt.
and Todd Desautels, April Smith and William Moseley are Cpl.
Paul DeVivo and Colette Deihl thanked Council and the citizens for the support
they gave TybeeFest. DeVivo presented Council with t- shirts. Sessions said that the
event was great.
Mayor Parker announced the Tybee Day event that will take place October 14th
from 10 am until 6 PM at the Lighthouse. Lots of fun food and entertainment.
Ralph Maggioni gave a brief history of the MRS, when it was established and
how many are involved with the squad, between S. C. and GA there are 450 active
members. MRS sponsors the Children's Fishing Tournament, boats for the clean up
efforts, involved with the dolphin's efforts and Boy Scouts of America. Maggioni said
that they were tested when Hugo hit Charleston, S.C. Maggioni requested that Council
lease the land to the MRS for 99 years. The MRS has about 10,000 dollars already
invested in the columns and building forms. Parker said that there are still some legal
problems that need to be ironed out. Hughes asked if the soil test came back yet? Johnny
Russell answered yes, and that it was good. Hughes stated that what the City got from
DOT and Chatham must remain a road, the owner must remain the City but that the MRS
and the City could have a joint use agreement. Youmans asked why not lease them the
property that was already heard by the Supreme Court. Hughes said that the State only
leases for 50 years. Hughes said that the Shrine Club lease is for 15 years, and he would
fell comfortable with 10 with option for renewal. Parker told the MRS to hold the
City's feet to the fire.

Billy Hair, Chairman of the Chatham County Commission, said that he
appreciates being here and also the spirit and cooperation from the municipalities. Hair
said that he hopes to continue when reelected in November.
Dr. Reinhold Gerbsch, Leveraging E- business Solution, gave a hand out to
Council concerning his business and how it can benefit the City of Tybee. Parker told
Gerbsch to make an appointment with the City Manager, the concept sounds interesting.
A proclamation on World's Population Awareness Week October 22 — 28 was
announced by the Mayor. Youmans asked what the Pope has to say about this? The
Mayor answered that the Pope agrees.
Mayor Parker opened, asked for comments and closed the following public
hearings according to the laws of Georgia.
Mr. Rob Sales asked that the petition for a minor subdivision at 7 Railwood (42
Wrenwood) PIN 4- 2 -20 -1 be withdrawn. Sales said that the legal says it a major
subdivision but the thinks it is a minor. There were no comments from the audience.
Ms. Marilyn Tuten presented Council with a petition for a variance setback at
914 2nd Avenue PIN 4 -6 -8 -7 because her request does not meet the 10 -foot
requirement. Tuten said that she would be closing in an existing porch and adding an 8
X 8 extension on the front, all of this is in line with the present building. O'Brien said
that the back porch is 6 foot from the property line. Tuten answered yes. O'Brien
questioned the front. Tuten said that the house sits sideways on the lot. Bargeron said
that it is already under roof. Henry Levy said that the Planning Commission voted 7 — 0
in favor of the variance because it will protrude no further than what is already there.
Mr. Maynard Peloke presented Council with a petition for a variance for stairs
that are in the setback at 24 Veterans Drive PIN 4- 2 -5 -15. Peloke said that he had no
idea when he purchased the property that it was in violation, 6 foot 9 inches into the
setback. Peloke said that the stairs are an excellent means of escape in the event of an
emergency. Peloke stated that the stairs are 31 feet 5 inches from the edge of the
pavement and that this is a builder's mistake. Parker said that this means less than 7 feet?
Peloke answered yes. Monaghan said the petition states both Hendrix and Peloke.
Peloke said that Hendrix has been removed from the request. Monaghan again stated that
it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission. Hughes said that this happened before the
"as built" ordinance was in place and that this issue is addressed in the ordinance.
Youmans asked where the inspectors were, that the stairs were not built in a day. Peloke
answered that the stairs are so far removed that you would not notice them being in the
setback area. Peloke said that the City did not catch this violation, but when he had the
survey and that he brought this to the attention of the City inspection department.
Sessions asked about the process is there a flow chart that people can understand?
Bargeron said that the stairs in question were not on the original plan and that after
framing the house the construction sat for about 6 months. Bargeron said no change
order came in on the house and just by looking at the house it seems to comply. Sessions
asked Cannon if we are going to have a flow chart? Cannon said that Council would
have a first draft by the next Council meeting. Sessions asked if there was any type of
penalty for the builder? Parker said something should be done. Bargeron said when City
found out about violation that no C.O. was issued, the man understands if the variance is
denied that he will have to removed the stairs, we have issued a temporary C.O.
Youmans said that man is completely innocent, the builder and inspector had a set of
1
plans. Burke asked where were the inspectors? Bargeron answered dealing with 99 other
things. Monaghan said that something needs to be put in place for builders to pay a
penalty. Hughes said that this could come under general offense maybe, but that the as
built should take care of any more problems like this that happened. O'Brien said that it
is to late when you have as built need check and inspection list. Bargeron said that under
the SBCCI that the contractor is responsible for meeting codes. Henry Levy said that he
is very disturbed, this should never have happened. Levy said that the plans had two sets
of stairs and this is the third set. The Planning Commission voted 6 —1 to approve.
David Cornelius stated that if you drove by you would never know that the stairs are in
violation.
Vickie Mitchell presented Council with a petition for a minor subdivision for
Alex Kaplan at Pulaski and Taylor PINS 4 -1 -2 -3 & 4A. Mitchell said that this would
be taking two lots and dividing them into three lots. The lots meet the required square
footage. O'Brien said that she did not get a map. Clerk of Council Brown said that it
was big so she wrote on the information packet to see the map in the zoning office.
Asked if this was for approval of the preliminary plan or for final approval. Mitchell said
that Kaplan had Keaton do a survey and this could have come before Council about 5
years ago but not sure. O'Brien explained the process and asked Mitchell what she was
seeking tonight. Mitchell said final approval. Burke asked where the drainage plan is.
Mitchell said that she was not told she needed a drainage plan. Hughes said that the
ordinance for subdivision say a drainage plan may be required but the storm water
ordinance states that you need any and everything. Levy said that the land drains well
and all he is doing is dividing it up, all lots meet the requirements for square footage.
Levy said that the vote by Planning Commission was 6 in favor and 1 abstained. Burke
asked again why we are not requiring a drainage plan? Levy said the ordinance say may
be required. O'Brien said the storm water says it must have drainage plan. Pearce
questioned tree survey. Mitchell said that there are no trees on the property. Rachel
Perkins also stated that there were no trees and sees no reason not to grant the request.
Richard Kautzman said that he feels Council should table because of flooding and
explained his problem on Lovell. Youmans asked why Council has 20 pages of the code
in their packets. Sessions said she appreciated having the codes in front of her.
Mayor Parker opened the meeting for business legally presented.
Pearce moved to approve the setback variances at 914 2°d Avenue for Tuten.
Youmans seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Burke moved to approve the setback variance for stairs for Peloke at 24
Veteran Drive. Youmans seconded. Monaghan stated that under 5 -160 Enforcement in
the Land Development Code that it states in section (b) a penalty amount for violations.
Pearce said this needs to be prevented and should not occur again and the "as Built' will
help. Cannon said the flow chart should also help. Hughes to investigate the penalty.
Youmans said that Hendrix will just go cut the stairs off. Vote by Council was
unanimous.
O'Brien moved to send the request for a minor subdivision from Kaplan back
to the Planning Commission for further review. Sessions seconded. O'Brien said that
she is disappointed with the Planning Commission concerning the storm water ordinance
that requires a drainage plan. O'Brien also requested the Planning Commission to sign
off on whether the project met the Land Development codes under 5 -040 for minor
subdivision. Vote by Council was 5 in favor (Burke, Sessions, Monaghan, O'Brien and
Pearce); 1 opposed (Youmans).
Pearce moved to accept the September Council minutes as presented. O'Brien
seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Under actions items Hughes stated that Pearce has walked the area in question
concerning the coastal protection. Hughes said that he misunderstood O'Brien request
for a one -line ordinance and that he sent a complete ordinance down the following week.
Hughes stated that there are several versions now and that the process for adoption should
start at the beginning. Attached to these minutes are the suggestions from Pearce on
the jurisdiction line and the eroding shoreline. Pearce also recommended that the
definition of a dune be: "A dune is a geomorphic feature best described as a low
mound, ridge, bank or hill of loose wind -blown granular material (generally sand
but could also be granular volcanic ash) either bare or covered with vegetation,
capable of movement from place to place but always retaining its characteristic
shape ". Parker asked that in setting the dune protection line, are we bound with taking
property, as some dunes are half way up on the lot. Pearce said that the vast majority of
properties in question have preexisting houses. Youmans asked about the 18 foot
easement from the seawall? Hughes answered that is no man zone. Youmans asked why
not use the seawall? Hughes answered you don't have a seawall in some places. Pearce
stated that in some places the seawall is covered up. Parker said that sand has built up
past the seawall and that is why DNR grants variances. Pearce stated that there is a
variance process. O'Brien thanked all for the discussion and suggested that Hughes
and Cannon develop a process that Tybee can use. O'Brien gave a list of eight items
that might be on the process list. Youmans announced that he agrees with O'Brien
100 %. Pearce said that Rubinette Douglas of DNR said that the State Law allows for
local ordinances and that they will enforce. Pearce said that Tybee can hire an employee,
send them to school to become certified. Youmans stated that Tybee can't handle.
Monaghan said that there should be a concise process. Youmans moved to send back to
Planning Commission. Burke seconded. Youmans withdrew his motion. Youmans
motioned to start process and go through to the finish. Cannon and Hughes will
develop (8 Step) process and submit to Council. Pearce seconded. Vote by Council was
unanimous. Levy said the dunes are the first line of defense and that we need something
quick. Levy told Council that the Planning Commission does not have the expertise.
Monaghan moved to adopt Section 5 -101 on its first reading. O'Brien seconded. Hughes
told Council that they can not adopt tonight on first reading. Parker said that DNR would
not issue a variance if it would be detrimental to the dunes. Hughes said that this will
have to be advertised and go back through the Planning Commission. Council
could consider rewording the ordinance about hearings before Planning
Commission if they have already heard request once.
Cannon told Council that the design drawings on the skatepark have yet to be
reviewed by the engineers, that there is blanket coverage from any suit. Under the
recreational Facility Act Tybee is not liable if there is no charge to use the skatepark.
Hughes said that this is correct and that the volunteers are protected under GIRMA as
long as they are working under the direction of the City.
Cannon told Council that the Internal Control Audit report is very useful and that
he will be talking with the finance staff about the points made in the report. Parker asked
who requested this report. O'Brien said that she did and she is thrilled with the report.
O'Brien said that there is a letter from the Parking Director addressing some of the issues.
Cannon indicated that he would respond to the letter.
Cannon asked Council to look over the one page quick review of the finance
statement and give him feedback. Burke and Sessions said it was great.
Cannon said that the funds are out of balance by $7,384 and it is because of
something the auditor did. The error needs to be found and corrected before going to the
new software. Auditor Chris Lightle will help with the GASBY and the Chart of
Account. O'Brien asked if this figure changes month to month. Cannon answered no.
Cannon said that he got a large packet from Bill Lovett in reference to the sewer
pipes connections along the Tybee Road and that the draft letter to DOT for the
Mayor to sign may be in there but that he has not had time to go through the entire
packet.
O'Brien gave a report from the Post Theater Committee which consist of 3
members from the City and 3 members form the Historical Society, but that they will be
appointing 3 members from the community to bring the committee total to nine. O'Brien
said that they meet every two weeks at City Hall. Youmans questioned the 3 citizens that
the committee is talking about appointing. O'Brien said that this is not a committee
appointed by Council, she has talked with Hughes. Hughes answered that this is not the
same committee appointed by Council. O'Brien said to research if Council needs to
appoint. Hughes told Council that the City is in partnership with Historical Society.
Cannon said that he is planning to hold a public forum in November in order for
Citizens to express their thoughts on the cable service. Youmans said he has no
complaints. Barry Brown said that he has called 4 times in the past six months. Cannon
said that a representative from the U.S. Cable will be invited to be present.
Cannon and Hughes gave an update on the software lease. Hughes is talking with
GMA to see if they could finance the purchase through their lease program.
Burke moved to withdraw the Resolution on the Aquifer for consideration by
Council. Youmans seconded. After a long discussion the vote by Council was 3 in favor
(Burke, Youmans, Sessions); 2 opposed (Monaghan and Pearce); 1 abstained (O'Brien).
Parker said that this is a political issue that the City of Savannah is dealing with and if
there is a problem in the future then Tybee should get involved.
Hughes explained about the 2 Local Assistance Grant for the Marine Science
Center. Monaghan moved to approve the grants. Pearce seconded. O'Brien said that
one grant is to do with salaries and that will be an on going costs, how do they plan to
cover or will they fall back on the City for funds? Youmans said that the City has
allotted the MSC $130,000 this year and they should be paying the City portion of the
grants. Vote by council was four in favor (Burke, Sessions, Monaghan and Pearce); 2
oppose (Youmans and O'Brien). Cannon agreed to discuss with MSC the need to have a
revenue stream plan to cover additional fixed cost increase so it would not fall back on
the City.
Pearce moved to adopt Section 6 -1 -3 Wellhead Protection on its second
reading. Monaghan seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Monaghan moved to adopt Title 4 Public Safety Section 3 Emergency
Management on its second reading. Pearce seconded. Vote by Council was
unanimous.

Pearce moved to adopt Section 4 -2 -12 Subscription Process on its second
reading. Monaghan seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Monaghan moved to adopt Section 4 -2 -13 Non Subscribers not under contract
on its second reading. Youmans seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Under old business Sessions asked Cannon to investigate the signs at Oaks of
Tybee. Youmans moved that Cannon should attend the next two stakeholders meeting
and then relieve Farmer. Burke seconded. Vote by Council was 2 in favor (Burke and
Youmans); 4 opposed (Sessions, Monaghan, O'Brien and Pearce). Hughes said that
Farmer's term ends in October. Parker suggested that Council retain Farmer until
Cannon get oriented. Sessions moved to have Hughes represent the City in
discussion with Farmer for a contract of 6 months. Monaghan seconded. Vote by
Council was 4 in favor (Sessions, Monaghan, O'Brien and Pearce); 2 opposed (Burke
and Youmans). Cannon was asked to get an architect rending and other schedules
required by the Land development Code at the time the project receives approval. Pearce
moved to retain those citizens presently serving on the Beach Task Force at the
suggestion from the Mayor. Monaghan seconded. Vote by council was 4 in favor
(Sessions, Monaghan, O'Brien and Pearce); 2 opposed (Burke and Youmans). Parker
requested Council to submit names and said that this is an open group. Monaghan
mentioned the rezoning of Butler Avenue beach side and the C -2 committee and what is
going on with these issues. Chris Solomon gave a short report stating that as chairman of
the C -2 that he was not invited to the last meeting. Solomon was asked to get in touch
with Bargeron or Brown to set meeting up. Monaghan moved to purchase $400.00
worth of Halloween candy and for Council members to deliver it to the houses on Lewis
Avenue. Burke seconded. Youmans said that the City needs to leave it alone. Parker
stated that once candy is gone the residents usually just turn off the lights. Vote by
Council was 5 in favor (Burke, Sessions, Monaghan, O'Brien and Pearce).
Pearce moved to go into closed session to discuss litigation and personnel.
Monaghan seconded. Unanimous vote by Council.
Youmans moved to reconvene the regular Council meeting and to adjourn, as
there was no further business to come before Council. Monaghan seconded. Vote by
Council was unanimous.

World Population Awareness Week
Proclamation - -- 2000
Whereas world population today exceeds six billion and continues to increase
by one billion every 13 years;
Whereas the environmental, economic, and social consequences of rapid population
growth are not limited to the developing world but extend to all nations and to all
people;

of the poor and the malnourished are girls and women;
Whereas in developing countries two- thirds of the 130 million children not
attending school are girls;
Whereas with each passing minute a woman somewhere on Earth dies from
pregnancy or childbirth complications, a total of 600,000 every year;
Whereas in addition to deaths, each year at least 7 million women are estimated
to suffer serious effects and as many as 50 million women suffer some health
consequences resulting from childbirth;
Whereas up to one half of the nearly 175 million pregnancies each year are
unwanted or ill- timed;
Whereas 350 million married women in developing countries still lack access
to information, education and the means to obtain a range of modern family
planning methods;
Whereas the theme of World Population Awareness Week this year is "Saving
Women's Lives," with a strong commitment to establishing as a major health
priority the reduction of maternal mortality and morbidity — through safe,
efficient, effective, affordable and voluntary interventions that respect cultural

4. The Tybee Island Marine Science Center is a non -profit 501c(3) organization dedicated to
promoting appreciation, conservation, and understanding of the marine ecosystem of coastal
Georgia through education and service. To meet this mission, we provide educational programs
for school groups, daycare centers, tour groups and the general public.
Currently, we offer schoolchildren the opportunity to explore our coast in a two hour field
trip program. This past school year, over 12,000 students participated in our field trip programs.
These programs are completed on our site, located at the beach on Tybee Island. Students
participate in hands -on science programs to learn about our unique coast. They may sift the sand
to look for what is living between the grains of sand. They may dissect a squid to learn about its
anatomy and behavior. Or, perhaps they will pull a seine net through the surf to get a glimpse of
what is swimming around their feet. The program began in 1994, and the number of students
who participate in this program has almost tripled over the past six years.
To educate the general public, we have a museum filled with aquariums and a touch tank
containing species indigenous to the coast of Georgia. Exhibits feature shells, sea turtles, a wave
tank, marine mammals, beaches around the world and pollution. 26, 958 visitors toured through
our museum in 1999. We also offer Discovery Walks throughout the year. Visitors participate in
a guided beachwalk, pull a net through the surf, and look for animals that hide in the sand.
Currently, we offer this program four times a week during the summer, and two times a week
during the winter. This is becoming an increasingly popular program for our tourists.
We need to expand these programs to reach those groups who may not have the
transportation to come to our site on Tybee. We want to create an outreach program for the
Center. We will begin to offer programs to schools, convention centers, libraries, and community
groups at their site. In order to do this we need to hire one new staff member to initiate,
coordinate and implement this outreach program. As our programs grow, we also need to hire an
additional educator to assist in teaching groups that will attend programs at the Center. The City
of Tybee Island is providing support to fund a portion of the salary of this educator. In addition,
fees charged for the program will assist in operating expenses. We also need funding to obtain
supplies to create the program. We need to purchase supplies to bring to the sites such as crab
traps, animal carriers, and air pumps.
Funding for these needs will allow us to initiate a program that will allow us to reach more
people throughout Chatham County. This, in turn, allows us to meet our goal of educating the
public about the coast of Georgia so they will appreciate our unique ecosystem and want to
conserve it for future generations.

4. The Tybee Island Marine Science Center is a non -profit 501c(3) organization dedicated to
promoting appreciation, conservation, and understanding of the marine ecosystem of coastal
Georgia through education and service. To meet this mission, we have a two -fold program:
education of the general public and education of school -age children.
Our program for the general public is varied. Visitors may walk right off the beach and into
our museum that consists of aquariums and a touch tank containing species indigenous to the
coast of Georgia. Other exhibits feature shells, sharks, marine mammals, pollution, a wave tank,
and beaches around the world. 26,958 visitors toured through our museum in 1999. We offer a
Discovery Walk program to the public throughout the year. Our staff led the participants on this
guided beachwalk to discover it's inhabitants.
Our program for children has many facets, all designed to teach children to be aware of the
diversity of life in the ocean so that they will develop a desire to protect and improve our marine
environment in the future. In the summer we offer Sea Camp programs for children. Teachers
use "hands -on" activities, crafts, and games to teach children about our coast.
During the school year, we offer field trip programs for school groups, daycare centers,
tour groups, and scouts. Students may participate in activities such as a squid dissection, dock lab
or fish printing. We also offer Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts the chance to complete requirements
to earn patches and badges. These programs began in 1994, and the number of students who
participate in this program has almost tripled over the past six years. This past school year, over
12,000 students participated in a field trip program.
We need to expand these educational field trip programs. Currently, our staff consists of
one full -time Director and three part-time educators to lead these programs. Our current staff is
funded by the program fees and funding from the City of Tybee Island. We need to be able to hire
one full -time educator to be able to teach these field trip programs. We are also seeking funding
to pay for staff and volunteer uniforms so that they are easily identified by visitors. In addition,
we recently acquired a new classroom for these programs. We want to purchase a computer and
interactive software for this classroom. This computer would be used by our student groups. We
also need to add shelving and cabinets to this classroom.
The addition of a full -time educator and classroom equipment will allow us to expand our
educational programs at the Center. As a result, we will be meeting our goal of educating the
public about the coast of Georgia so they will appreciate our unique ecosystem and want to
conserve it for future generations.
