@ @ITEM 2004 -04 -22 City Council Minutes
Mayor Walter Parker opened the April 22, 2004 City Council meeting at 7:00
PM. Those present, in addition to Mayor Parker, were Council Members,
Jason Buelterman, Eddie Crone, Mallory Pearce, Shirley Sessions, Paul Wolff
and Jack Youmans. Also present were City Manager, Bob Thomson and
Dana Braun, sitting in for City Attorney Edward Hughes, who could not
attend. Parker said that Mr. Hughes' Father had passed away on Wednesday
and all of our thoughts and prayers are with him at this time.
Parker asked Council Member, Shirley Sessions, to give the invocation. The
Pledge of allegiance was recited by all.
Mayor Parker read a Proclamation proclaiming the week of May 2 through
May 8, 2004 as Municipal Clerks Week.
Parker said we had received a letter requesting speed bumps on Van Horn
Street. Since no one was present to speak for this request, Parker said it
would be taken up at the proper time.
Mayor Parker said he had also received a letter from Mrs. Leigh Ashman of
Savannah, requesting placing beach mats at several of the crosswalks to help
her disabled daughter get to the beach which she loves. She said an
alternative would be for the City to rent beach wheelchairs. Parker said we
would take this matter up at the proper time, also.
Mark Gordon presented his request to start a moped rental business on Tybee.
Gordon said he hoped his additional information had answered Sessions'
questions from the last meeting. Sessions said she appreciated Gordon's
bringing a moped to the meeting so all could see just what was being
discussed. Sessions said she still had concerns regarding the safety, negative
impact on residential neighborhoods and noise. She asked Police Chief
Jimmy Price to speak on this issue. Chief Price said that Gordon had the
required insurance and riders were required to wear helmets. Price said that as
far as he could see, Gordon was good to go. He said the impact on traffic is
unknown. Sessions asked if we could restrict riding in residential
neighborhoods and Price said he didn't think so, the mopeds are not allowed
on the highways. Dana Braun said Savannah had changed their ordinance to
conform to State law. Pat Locklear said that safety is a big issue and he had
almost hit a moped when he backed out of his driveway. Price said they are
required to obey all traffic laws just like a motorcycle.
Jimmy Burke asked, going back to the subject of beach mats, the status of
placing the mats on the beach. Parker said the City had been working on this.

Raymond Pagan asked Council to consider waiving the mitigation
requirement for removing an oak tree. He said that he was doing some
remodeling and the county inspector told him that his footings would not pass
inspection because of the roots from an oak tree. Pagan said the inspector told
him he would have to remove the tree, so he did. Sessions asked how many
other trees were on his lot, and Pagan said 9. Crone said he didn't think Pagan
should have to pay the $750. Pearce said he didn't understand why this
wasn't taken care of when the application was submitted. Dee Anderson,
Zoning Administrator, said the tree was not in the way but the roots would
interfere with the footings. Pearce asked Pagan if he would be willing to plant
a tree to replace the one he removed, Pagan said yes. Anderson told the
Council that the inspector had been told not to tell anyone else to remove a
tree or anything else.
Sarah Gomel requested approval to open a beach business of setting up a
chair, cooler and provide shade for her clients at the last meeting. Hughes was
to research and give an opinion. Braun said he and Hughes had not discussed
this issue and asked Gomel to wait until Hughes could get back to work. She
agreed and said she understood.
Claire Price said she had been getting complaints regarding the Arts Festival,
sponsored by the Dragonfly Studio, on Tybrisa Street. She said there was not
an ordinance against this and it would be up to Council to approve or not. She
said she signed the permit, not the City Manager, because in the last 4 years
there had been no problems. She said she checked with the Police Dept. and
Parking Service, and they had no problems with the event. Parker said he
thought any further activities be suspended until the problems are solved.
Parker said Thomson should talk with Hughes. Price said it is scheduled for
the second Saturday of every month. Price said the organizers did not require
any City services, so she just charged them the $25 permit fee. Youmans said
this is first time he has known of individuals having something like this in that
area. Price said she thinks the ordinance needs to be rewritten if this type of
event is not going to be allowed. Pearce said Hughes and Thomson should get
together and come back to Council with a solution. Youmans said this is the
first he has heard about this event, and he thinks everything should come to
Council. Sessions said the most important thing that concerns her is
consistency. Sessions said our policy and procedure should be applied to
everyone the same. She said our ordinance should not be open to
interpretation, as many of them are. We should address the type of event, how
often, an individual or non - profit organization or for profit one. She said we
should know what the City's liability would be and know that there is
insurance to cover the event. Price said the packet she gave Council to
approve several meetings ago, covered most of that. She said the pricing
needs to be reviewed because it is too low. She said the Dragonfly had the
proper insurance, with the City listed on it. Price said if Council will approve
the packet, most of these issues would be taken care of. Parker said that
1

Thomson and Hughes should have a solution and if anyone has something to
say, put it in writing to Thomson. Youmans said we should have an answer
before the end of next month, Parker agreed.
Jiggs Watson and Jack Boylston asked Council to help them with the Beach
Bum Parade. Boylston said after what happened during the St. Patrick's
Parade in Savannah, he and Watson felt they should get insurance. Boylston
said the only problem is that they don't have the money. Boylston said they
don't charge an entrance fee, but they only take donations. He said about half
of what they take in would go to the insurance, leaving little to go to the
charities they support. Boylston said that the City supports the other parades
in the City, one in March and one in December, so they feel somewhat
comfortable asking for help. Braun asked what was the entity sponsoring the
parade and who would be named on the insurance policy. Watson said it
would be for the Bum Parade and he would be named as sponsor. Thomson
said he had talked with the Risk Management Department with GMA
regarding the liability to the City for this type of event. Thomson said they
told him if the City was not directly involved as a sponsor, the City' insurance
would not cover it. Pearce asked how much they were asking for. Watson
said $1000 to $1500 would help a great deal and that way they could give
most of the money they take in to the charities. Braun said he had an issue
with their not being a non - profit or formal organization. He said if they
formed a formal non - profit organization, they could come back to Council
with their request, otherwise, there were serious legal issues. Boylston said
what if they found someone like Tybee Fest, and said they were running out
of time. Parker said they take this up at the proper time. Boylston said after
the parade, A1A Band would be at the pier.
Parker asked Claire Price if she had more information regarding her Special
Event Packet or if it had been covered. Price said she just wanted Council to
approve it.
Pat Locklear spoke to Council and gave a brief report on the Gym Committee.
Locklear said he had put a letter in each Council Member's box. (Copy
attached) Locklear said the committee has a full slate. He said they are
preparing a fee schedule and as soon as it is complete, he will bring it before
Council for approval. Locklear asked when the gym was supposed to be
ready, and Thomson said by the end of September 2004. Locklear said the
committee had suggested some changes to the construction such as retractable
partition, basketball nets the tract up and down for little league play not just
adults, and down the road, they would like to see a pool. Thomson said those
requests would be at a substantial increase in the construction costs. Wolff
said he would like everyone to know that there is a Workshop scheduled for
Monday, April 26, 2004 at 7:00 PM here at City Hall. He said this workshop
would be to discuss programs.

Diane Ring said she was participating in the annual Relay for Life, which is a
benefit for the American Cancer Society. The date for this event is May 14,
2004, Friday, from 5:00 PM until Saturday at 10:00 AM, and people run all
night. She said she had lost several family members to cancer and more of her
family are in remission. Ring said this is a worthwhile cause and she hope
everyone in our family community can join in. Sessions asked if there were
teams being formed and could personal donations be given. Ring said yes
they were forming teams and anyone certainly could donate. Ring then added
that her son had been a quadriplegic and died 2 years ago. She said he and
friends, who were in wheelchairs, had come and it was very difficult to get
them on the beach. Ring urged Council to purchase the beach mats.
Julia Pearce, wife of Council Member Mallory Pearce, who had just returned
from Owerri, Nigeria, spoke to Council about her very rewarding trip. She
said her trip was sponsored by Horizon International Medical Mission and its
founder, Dr. Kennedy Okere, was here tonight. Dr. Okere said that we had
sent a great ambassador in Julia and that everyone in Nigeria had fallen in
love with her. Dr. Okere then read and presented Mayor Parker and the
people of Tybee Island with a proclamation from Eze J. O. Murauako of
Ihiagwa. The proclamation thanked Mayor Parker and everyone of Tybee
Island for their generosity in sending medical supplies to his people. He
presented Mayor Parker with a beautiful carved statue and a photograph of
some of the children of the village. Julia Pearce said the King asked if we had
a king and queen at Tybee. She said yes and their duties were mainly
ceremonial. Pearce said the king was called the Big Kahuna and he makes the
people buy drinks. Pearce presented Queen Roma with a gift, blessing her
with a "dusting ". Pearce then presented a gift for the Big Kahuna, Queen
Roma accepting for him. Pearce then thanked everyone again for the support
she received and said she had the trip recorded on a CD if anyone would like
to see it. Sessions told Pearce that she had served us well.
Mayor Parker announced that we had received an $80,000 Federal
Transportation Enhancement Funding grant for 2004 - 20005, through some of
the efforts of Burke Day and Harry Dixon, our Representative on the Georgia
Department of Transportation Board. Some of things you will see come from
this are sidewalks where there are none now.
Parker also announced that because of the absence of enterococcus bacteria,
we are now eligible to be named in national publications as a Certified
National Healthy Beach and, also allow us to apply for certain grants. He said
let's keep it clean. Youmans said the reason we received such a good report
and St. Simons didn't, is we don't allow dogs on the beach and they do.
Henry Levy and Cathy Sakas spoke to Council regarding safeguarding the
Loggerhead Turtle nesting sites. Sakas said the most important thing people
can do is proper lighting along the beaches. She said when the baby turtles
1
1
1
hatch they go toward the light, the moon. She said when artificial light is
shining on the beach, the turtles get disoriented and go toward that light and
get stranded and die. Sakas said even though the female lays thousands of
eggs, only 1 turtle in 10,000 that hatch, will live to maturity. Both, Sakas and
Levy, encouraged Council to make sure the ordinance, 3 -230, is enforced.
Youmans said that he is for the turtles but people come first. Youmans said
the lighting along the beach is a main reason Tybee doesn't have murders and
rapes. Levy said reflective lighting is the way to go, satisfying everyone.
Sakas reminded everyone of the Marine Science Center's annual auction on
May 22, 2004 from 6 to 9 PM.
Kathryn Williams gave Council a brief update on the Beautification
Committee. She said there was a Beach Sweep scheduled for Sunday, April
25, 2004 at 4 PM. She said because of the crowds, it was moved back from 2
PM. She said last weekend there was a mini beach sweep, with Bethesda on
the North Beach and International Paper on the South end. She said they have
been concentrating on Tybrisa Street and it is looking better and better.
Williams said they have requested that some of the vending machines be
removed. She thanked DPW for their efforts and said they would have an
Appreciation Luncheon for the workers on May 6, from 12 to 1:30 PM. at the
Community Center. She Mayor and Council Members were invited.
Williams said there would be a Litter Forum called Let's Talk Trash at City
Hall on May12, 2004 at 7:30 PM.
Bernie Goode gave a brief report on the restoration of the cemetery in
Memorial Park. He said their mail -out received good response resulting in
their collecting over $5,000. He said they had gotten bids for the iron fence
and awarded the project to low bidder, Old Savannah Iron Works. Goode said
the fence should be ready in about 30 days. He asked that the $5,000 that was
approved and earmarked for this project be released.
Jan Fox said the Audit Committee has been working hard and will be ready
with a report and recommendations after they meet with the auditors. She said
they have a meeting scheduled on May 10, 2004 with Chris Lightle. Fox said
as much as they hate to lose him, she believes Jim Klutz will be a great
service to our City.
Mayor Parker opened the meeting for business legally presented.
Sessions asked what the procedure was for speed bumps. Thomson said that
engineers say that speed bumps actually are inclined to speed up cars.
Youmans said there used to be speed bumps and the City removed them
because they caused so many problems. Parker asked Chief Price about his
patrol cars using Van Horn so frequently, wouldn't that be a problem. Price
said to have speed bumps would be a liability to the City. Sessions said that
Parker had said at an earlier meeting that anyone who wanted speeds bumps
1
1
1
could get them. Parker said no, he had said if anyone wanted them, they could
ask for them. Parker said he had been misquoted. Mrs. White, a resident on
Van Horn, said she had never seen much speeding along her street. Pearce
said one way to deal with speeders is to increase patrols. Sessions said there
are different kinds and would some of them be worth considering. Price said
no, you don't see speed bumps except on private property. Wolff said he had
several complaints from residents of 18th Street but doesn't think speed bumps
are the answer. He asked Price to increase patrols on that street also. Wolff
said they have also asked for a sidewalk and maybe we could work that in to
SPLOST Funding.
Parker asked Thomson to tell Council about the beach mats he was working
on. Thomson said he had been talking with a local accessibility group. He
said there are several products available and the Mobee Mat was said to be the
most environmentally safe and the best as to maintenance. Thomson said he
had quotes from that company and 2 others, and he would place that on the
agenda. Thomson said for 3 crosswalks, the quote was about $18,000 and this
was not a budgeted item. Buelterman asked how soon that would be.
Thomson said he should have the information by the 2 "d or 3rd week in May.
Pearce motioned for approval of the business license for Gordon's Moped
Rental, Youmans seconded. Sessions voiced concern regarding the safety and
liability of the rental of mopeds. Youmans said we are not approving mopeds
but the rental of mopeds. He said mopeds are legal and already on the Island.
Buelterman asked about the speed. Price said the maximum speed is under 35
MPH to be considered a moped. Gordon said he would not rent to anyone
under the age of 16 and they must have a valid drivers license. Buelterman
asked Chief Price if he supported this business. Price said yes, as long as all
regulations are obeyed. Jim Klutz asked if this was an exclusive or could
someone else also rent mopeds. Youmans said this is just a business license
and anyone could get one. Sessions said she understood that there would be 2
businesses at 2 different locations. Janice Elliott said yes, 1 at the Ocean
Plaza and 1 at Beachside Colony. Buelterman asked if they would be giving
out any type of safety packets. Gordon said yes, they had safety information
from their insurance company. Vote was 5, Wolff, Youmans, Buelterman,
Crone and Pearce, for approval, and 1, Sessions, opposed.
Mayor Parker welcomed Mary Ann Heimes to the meeting, saying she was
one of the candidates for the County Commission.
Youmans motioned to waive the mitigation fee for Pagan, citing the
misinformation from the County Inspector, Wolff seconded. Vote was
unanimous.
Parker said we would postpone the beach business license for Gomel until
Hughes had a chance to look into it further.

Parker said the next item was the Beach Bum Parade. Buelterman asked if
they could get Hughes to work with Watson and Boylston to make them a
non - profit. Parker said they already had an organization to sponsor them.
Tybee Fest, Paul DeVivo. Buelterman asked Braun if that would work.
Braun said to contribute to Tybee Fest to help fund the cost of the parade.
Braun said it would be better to make it in that regard instead of specifically
for insurance purposes. That goes along with the purpose of tourism and
events for the citizens of Tybee. Braun said the parade permit would be
issued to Tybee Fest. He asked if the permit had been issue yet. No, Claire
Price said it had not. Pearce motioned for approval of $1500 to be contributed
according to Braun's recommendation, Wolff seconded. Sessions asked if this
was budgeted and what Line Item it come out of. Thomson said it was not
budgeted and he would find a Line Item to be appropriated and then bring it
back before Council for a budget adjustment. Braun asked if Tybee had an
insurance requirement and Parker answered yes. Vote was unanimous.
Wolff motioned to approve the Special Event Packet and to instruct Thomson,
Price and any other staff, deemed appropriate, to set up a rate schedule and
bring back to Council, Pearce seconded. Vote on the packet approval was
unanimous.
Parker asked if the Gym Committee wanted approval of items that were
discussed at the workshop. Pat Locklear said the committee wanted Council
to approve turning over the operation of the gym to the YMCA. Locklear said
they had the experience and staff, and it would not cost the City any more.
Thomson said it was probably premature to do that. He said he and Hughes
had met with Joel Smoker and they were working out some contractual issues.
Thomson said what was not discuss was the Y running the gym. Parker said
we had some time, so let's wait until Hughes is caught up and can look into
this.
Pearce motioned to approve a $500 contribution to the American Cancer
Society's Relay for Life, Sessions seconded for discussion. Sessions said she
was not sure that they should be spending the City's money on this. She said
she supports this cause and will participate and personally contribute.
Sessions asked Braun to advise on the City's participation. Braun said the
issue of contributing to Tybee Fest or the Beach Bum Parade and other non-
profit entities is the question. Tybee Fest is a local event promoting Tybee's
tourism and quality of life. Braun said if you contribute to other non - profits,
what is the policy and where will you draw the line for contributions. He said
that is a tough decision. Pearce said he thinks there are a lot of families on
Tybee who have faced or are facing cancer, and he thinks this is in the best
interest of the citizens of Tybee. Parker said it has been a tradition for the
City to support the Rape Crisis Center and Safe Shelter. Sessions asked if we
were going to support all of the non - profits. Parker said no, he didn't say that.

Sessions said she would rather take the money out of her personal account and
encourage the citizens to support the Cancer Society with their time and
money. Vote was 5, Wolff, Youmans, Buelterman, Crone and Pearce in favor
of contributing, and 1, Sessions, opposed.
Parker asked if we had a line item for the cemetery. Thomson said it was in
the budget but he wasn't sure if there was a line item. Wolff motioned that
the $5000 be pulled from the budget, Youmans seconded, and said he wanted
to be sure it was in the budget. The vote was unanimous.
Buelterman said he would like to talk about the turtles and lighting. Parker
said at one time, we had shields on the lights. He said we need them to tell us
what lights need to be addressed. Parker said we are waiting on them to come
back to us. Youmans said we should keep in mind the needs of the people and
shouldn't take all the lighting off of the beach. Wolff said we should
approach SEPCO about donating whatever is needed. Parker agreed.
Parker asked what the correction was on the Resolution for Comcast.
Thomson said essentially, it was to have a 2nd reading, according to Greg
Fender. Thomson said we should approve the contract with US Cable and
then immediately transfer the contract to Comcast. Wolff motioned for
approval, Pearce seconded. Parker said this is the 2nd reading of the
ordinance, which will be followed immediately by the resolution. Vote was
unanimous. Pearce motioned for approval for the resolution, Buelterman
seconded. Vote on the resolution was unanimous.
There were some additions and corrections to the minutes of the April 22,
2004 Council meeting. Wolff asked if the monthly savings of $8,000 to the
City on the new insurance would be included. Wolff also asked to include his
request for owners of rental property to post the load limit on decks. Pearce
said the name Owerrie was misspelled. Buelterman said he voted against the
sign in front of City Hall. Pearce motioned to accept the minutes as amended,
Wolff seconded. Vote was unanimous.
Chief Price gave a brief report of the Police Department activities. He said
the 911 System should be up and running in about 2 weeks. He said the
traffic figures for February, March and part of April show an increase over the
same period last year of 34,000 cars. Price said the lifeguards will be on the
beach by the end of this month and the beach patrol will be fully operational
by next weekend. Thomson said we don't have a policy on purchasing used
equipment, but we have an animal control truck that is in bad shape.
Thomson said he had asked our auditor for some advice and he suggested we
get 3 quotes. Price said we are looking for something in the range of $3500 to
$4000. Price said this was not a budgeted item and he would need an
adjustment. Wolff complimented the chief on the speed limit sign on Hwy. 80
and thinks it is working to slow people down.

Mark Williams reported on the activities of the Water /Sewer Department. A
copy of the report is attached and becomes a part of these minutes. Williams
reminded everyone the May 2 through May 8 is Drink Water Week.
Mark Williams also reported on the activities of the Department of Public
Works. A copy of the report is attached and becomes a part of these minutes.
Parker asked why the 4 -way stop at Tybrisa and Lovell. Williams said there
were speeders along that street and when they turn the corner, cars were going
onto a resident's driveway and yard. Wolff said that intersection was also a
hazard for bikers. Williams said the directional signs for the beach are on
back order and are expected to come in next week. Buelterman asked about
the status of the water line construction along Butler Avenue. Williams said
he met with a representative from HGB &DeY the day before. He said they
went over several areas where the line would go under Butler Avenue. He
said they are considering installing some 6 -inch lines off of the 8 -inch main,
instead of having several smaller lines. Buelterman asked if the timing of
construction had been discussed. Williams said he had talked with EPD and
said they are not pushing us. He said as far as EPD is concerned, our water
quality is fine. Williams said his recommendation is to wait until the summer
season is over and start in September. Thomson said he had talked with EPD
and they said as long as we flush the lines every day and keep the chlorine
levels up, we should be ok.
Buelterman said we had discussed getting an engineering study and bids on
the drainage project for 12th Street and Jones Avenue. He said he would like
to hold off because of the discussion to include 14th Street also. Buelterman
said he would like to wait until more information is gotten.
Youmans said we keep talking about all these projects, and asked where the
money is coming from. Buelterman said we have $158,000 coming in this
year from SPLOST just for drainage. He said we have about $100,000
earmarked for other, so we can use that for drainage. Buelterman said that is
$250,000 just for this year. Buelterman said these projects will cost more than
that, so we might have to do them in pieces. Thomson said we should get the
first installment in May 2004, according to County Manager, Russ Abolt.
Thomson said we should get over $6,000,000 over the next 5 years..
Wolff said after discussion with Hughes, the water conservation kits cannot be
sold from City Hall. Wolff said he had purchased $1,006 worth of kits and
showerheads. He said they would be sold through the Friends of Oatland
Island, Marine Science Center, the Beautification Committee and any other
non - profit organization that wants to get involved. Wolff said he will be glad
to talk to anyone interested and has had some good feedback. Buelterman
asked about the public showers at the crosswalks to the beach. Wolff
motioned that the City purchase enough low flow heads at $2.60 a piece to
change them out, Pearce seconded. Vote was unanimous. Buelterman said
1
that Burke Day had said he would get a rep from the State EPD to come and
answer any questions we have about water issues and that we should develop
questions for Day to get to his contact with EPD. Buelterman said they could
write a letter, and when EPD comes they could have the answers and
information for us.
Wolff said his wife had an idea of starting a Tybee Island Bicycle Club or
TIBS. He said they would issue membership cards and present them to local
businesses for a discount, if the businesses agreed. This would promote riding
instead of driving. He said this would increase the need for bicycle racks.
Wolff said Frankie Conaway, Parking Service Director, had given up 2
spaces, by the lift station, for racks. Wolff said he had received a pledge of
$2,000 from SEPCO to purchase bike racks. Wolff said of the different styles
of racks, he liked the low one the best. It would easier to put the bikes on and
less obtrusive. They would be placed behind 14th Street parking lot booth, by
the lift station in the 16th Street lot and on Tybrisa and Strand. He said he
would encourage everyone not to park the bikes on the sidewalks. Everyone
commended Wolff on the great job. Buelterman motioned that we send a
letter to SEPCO requesting the money for bike racks, Pearce seconded. The
vote was unanimous.
Pearce motioned to rescind the weed ordinance, Wolff seconded for
discussion. Pearce said there were several problems with this ordinance and
very difficult to enforce. He said it contradicts several State laws, the Soil
Erosion Act, the Wetlands Protection Act and the Dune Protection Act.
Pearce said the rodent harborage is to broad, as it includes squirrels. Pearce
said he would like to eliminate the ordinance and perhaps write one that is
more specific. Crone said we might not need what is written in this ordinance
but we need some kind of control. Crone also said he would like Hughes'
input before we rescind this. Buelterman said he would like to see a new one
before we rescind this one. Wolff agreed with Buelterman. Parker asked if it
would have to be advertised. Pearce said it should have been advertised
already. He said it is useless as it is written. Vote was 1, Pearce, in favor of
rescinding ordinance, and 5, Wolff, Youmans, Sessions, Buelterman and
Crone, opposed.
Braun said he had talked to Hughes about the Rhangos property on Horse Pen
Hammock. Braun said the property is currently zoned EC and Mr. Rhangos
wants to rezone it to R1 and he be allowed to build a single - family structure
on part of the property. Braun said Mr. Rhangos would then turn the
remainder of the property over to the City as a conservation easement. Braun
said there was no action required tonight, this was just to keep Council
informed as to the status. William Rhangos said the property is inside the gate
just behind the pond. He said there are 2 accesses to the property, 1 is at the
far end of the pond over the long dyke and at the other end there is a short
dyke. Rhangos said he did not have a survey but he estimated the hammock
10
to be about 20 acres. He said he was proposing to build a single family home
on about 2 acres near the short dyke. Rhangos said he had discussed his
proposal with the neighbors on Horse Pen Point and they are supportive of the
plan. He said he had discussed the zoning issue with Hughes and said the
main thing that is needed is an appraisal of the property. This will help in
establishing a fair market value. Rhangos said this would not be any kind of
park but a conservation easement. He said he was not an expert on
conservation easements but he understood that the people with the Nature
Conservancy have the right to access the property to determine that it is not
being used or developed. Mayor Parker said he would certainly like to talk to
our City Attorney and get more information before we go too far with this.
Parker said he was sure we would have to contact DNR sometime during this
process. Rhangos said this is just in the initial stage and he and his family
think this would be very beneficial to everyone. Youmans asked about the
taxes on the property. Rhangos said they would continue to pay taxes at a
lower rate after the easement is established. Wolff said he thought the one
house would generate more taxes than they are paying now. Mayor Parker
thanked Rhangos and said he should follow up with Hughes and the City
Manager.
Thomson said there was not a liaison between Council and the Beach Task
Force since this Council was elected. Parker asked if anyone wanted to
volunteer to be the liaison. Paul Wolff said he goes to the meetings and he
would be glad to accept those duties. Pearce motioned by acclamation that
Wolff be the liaison to the Beach Task Force. Parker thanked Wolff for
accepting.
Buelterman asked how a person would become a member of the Beach Task
Force. Parker said they should send a letter to Council, requesting they
become a member. Youmans said they have to be voted in.
Pearce motioned to approve the Map Amendment to change the part of the
Lazaretto Creek area from C2 to Maritime District on 2nd reading, Wolff
seconded. Vote was 5, Wolff, Sessions, Buelterman, Crone and Pearce, in
favor, and 1, Youmans, opposed.
Braun said, as everyone knew, there has been a civil action filed by the
Lazaretto Creek Development, LLC against Council regarding the issues on
Lazaretto Creek. Braun said that Judge Morse had issued a Temporary
Restraining Order, preventing us from enforcing the MD Ordinance. Braun
continued, saying that does not preclude us from adding property or changing
the zoning of property. Braun said due to the uncertainty of what this Council
may or may not do or things that can arise while this case is pending or while
this order is in effect, it would be appropriate for Council to impose a
moratorium on any building permits in the MD District. The real purpose of
this would be to preserve the Status Quo while this matter is litigated. Wolff
11

motioned for a 60 -day moratorium on any building permits in the Maritime
District, Pearce seconded. Vote was 5, Wolff, Sessions, Buelterman, Crone
and Pearce, in favor of the moratorium, and 1, Youmans, opposed.
Mayor Parker asked if everyone is satisfied that the Action Item List is being

of development in these areas is oriented for permanent residents. This district shall remain

uses are incompatible with this district.
