Motion carried unanimously (4 to 0): Atkins, yes; Cardamone, yes; Merrill, yes; Patterson, yes. 1. Approval Re: Mote Marine Mammal Rehabilitation Project Final Site and Development Plan Vice Mayor Patterson stated that there was a concern expressed by the Commission at its last meeting that public access be provided to the waterfront part of the land in question; that the original plans called for a berm and then a retention area which would have made it impossible for people to use the 300 feet of waterfront property. Dennis Daughters, City Engineer, came before the Commission and displayed a copy of the plans on the overhead projector. Mr. Daughters stated that the existing seawall is slumped over due to erosion and deterioration; that the proposed seawall is shown schematically on the plans because it is not known definitely where it will be built; that the new drawing is the same configuration but the retention basin was drawn 10 feet away from the proposed seawall. Kumar Mahadevan, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Mote Marine Laboratory, came before the Commission. Dr. Mahadevan stated that he did not feel that Mote Marine would have a problem with the new plan; that he feels the issue that needs to be resolved is exactly where the new seawall will be. Commissioner Cardamone asked how deep the retention area will be and whether it will be fenced off from the people who might be fishing or picnicking with children in the 10 foot area? Dr. Mahadevan stated that it is his understanding that it is a very shallow, dry detention pond and will not inhibit fishing. Vice Mayor Patterson stated that the memorandum from the Engineering Department dated June 15, 1993 specifies that the detention area will be 9 inches deep. Deputy City Manager Schneider stated that he believes that if agreement can be reached that the slope of the detention area will begin 10 feet from the new seawall and the detention area will be in the same configuration, width and depth, as on the drawing, that the Commission could proceed to approve the plans. Arthur Mead, Mote Marine's architect on this project, came before the Commission and stated that he suggests site and development approval for phases 1, 2, and 3 subject to modification of the detention area once the new seawall line has been determined. Dr. Mahadevan stated that Mote Marine will agree on record to allow 10 feet between the new seawall and the shallow detention area in the same configuration and depth as Mr. Schneider pointed out; that if it means that the size of the lagoon has to be reduced, then that is what will be done. On motion of Commissioner Atkins and second of Commissioner Cardamone, it was moved to accept the proposal as recommended by the Administration that will cover Vice Mayor Patterson's concerns since it has been determined that all the definitions are in the plans. Mr. Schneider stated that he believes the action the Commission is about to take satisfies the concerns of the Commission and the Administration; that the Administration will follow through to make sure that the site plan is amended. Vice Mayor Patterson stated that the motion as she understands it is to approve the site and development plan for phases 1, 2, and 3, with a modified detention area that does not begin to slope until 10 feet back of the new seawall and has a depth of no more than has been specified and reviewed by the City Engineer. Vice Mayor Patterson called for the vote on the motion. Motion carried unanimously (4 to 0): Atkins, yes; Cardamone, yes; Merrill, yes; Patterson, yes. 7.

Vice Mayor Patterson requested that City Auditor and Clerk Robinson proceed with the roll-call vote. Motion carried unanimously (4 to 0): Atkins, yes; Cardamone, yes; Merrill, yes; Patterson, yes.

PUBLIC HEARING RE: PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 93-3667, AMENDING THE ZONING CODE PERTAINING TO THE EXPIRATION OF DEVELOPMENT PERMITS; AMENDING THE DURATION OF DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND SITE AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS WHEN NOT ACCOMPANIED BY A REZONING PETITION; REVISING THE DURATION OF SITE AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS OR DEVELOPMENT PLANS ACCOMPANIED BY A CONDITIONAL REZONING AS SET FORTH HEREIN: SETTING FORTH FINDINGS AS TO INTENT AND PURPOSE; ETC. (TITLE ONLY) = PASSED ON FIRST READING BUT ORDINANCE TO BE REWORDED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READINGS IN SUCH A WAY THAT EVERY PETITIONER THAT IS IN THE PROCESS NOW WOULD BE GRANTED A TOTAL OF FOUR YEARS FROM START TO FINISH BETWEEN INCEPTION AND EXPIRATION (AGENDA ITEM IV-1) #1 (1140) through (2184) Jane Robinson, Director of Planning and Development, came before the Commission and stated that the proposed Ordinance was approved by the Planning Board/Local Planning Agency based on the recommendation of the Director of Building, Zoning, and Code Enforcement and the Planning Department Staff; that it extends the preliminary site and development limits as well as the conditional rezoning limits. Vice Mayor Patterson opened the public hearing. Johnny Nugent, 400 N. Tamiami Trail, representing the Normandy Inn, came before the Commission and stated that he thinks the reason the proposed ordinance is before the Commission tonight is because the old ordinance was totally inadequate in this day and age; that he understands that the Florida Studio Theater had to request an extension of time as well as Cardinal Mooney High School. Commissioner Merrill left the Commission Chambers at 6:40 p.m. Mr. Nugent stated that if the banks had not loaned so much money to so many hotels and restaurants, perhaps his project would be a reality instead of still being in limbo; that he is caught up in a scenario which this proposed ordinance does not address; that he would like the Commission to amend this ordinance to cover those people who are in between the old ordinance and this new ordinance. Michael Furen, 2033 Main Street, Suite 600, attorney representing Bob Marquis, came before the Commission and stated that he is with the law firm Icard, Merrill, Cullis, Timm, Furen and Ginsburg, P.A.; that he has reviewed the proposed ordinance on behalf of his client who owns a parcel of land located on DeSoto Road at the intersection of Royal Palm Avenue, which is directly across from the Sarasota Bradenton Airport; that this parcel of property was conditionally rezoned to COP (Commercial Office Park) 1% years ago and the Commission has granted a one-year extension of the conditional rezoning site and development plan until January 1994. Commissioner Merrill returned to the Commission Chambers at 6:42 p.m. Attorney Furen stated that his client is one of the developer/land owners that are either within the initial one-year period of validity of a site and development plan that is part of a conditional rezoning or in the second year (one-year extension) that may have been granted by the Commission. Attorney Furen continued that his understanding of the intent of this ordinance is that it allows the City Commission to extend conditional rezonings up to two years at a time; that the proposed ordinance does not appear to him to do this; that it limits (extensions) in all instances au one two-year extension, not two years at a time; that the proposed ordinance appears to deal only with the issue of the conditional rezoning expiration at the end of the first two-year period and gives the Commission authority to extend the conditional rezoning; that the ordinance does not appear to give the Commission Book 35 Page 9474 06/21/93 6:00 P.M. Book 35 Page 9475 06/21/93 6:00 P.M. authority to extend the site and development plan as well as the conditional rezoning. Attorney Furen stated further that it seems that tracking all of the various site and development plans and their status could become an administrative nightmare; that he urges the Commission to have a statement in the proposed Ordinance that includes all existing approved site and development plans as part of conditional rezoning, whether they are in the initial one-year period or the extended one-year period; and that a new life of two years be given to site and development plans to be effective the date of the ordinance. Vice Mayor Patterson asked whether Attorney Furen meant an automatic two-year extension when he mentioned granting an automatic two-year life. Attorney Furen stated that he means that from the date the ordinance becomes effective that all existing site and development plans in connection with conditional rezoning and/or special exceptions that are part of the conditional rezonings be given an automatic two-year extension, because to do otherwise would not seem to be fair and equitable. There was no one else who wished to speak and Vice Mayor Patterson closed the public hearing. Assistant City Attorney Schenk stated that subparagraph (2) on page 8 of the proposed ordinance says that after the automatic expiration of the two-year period, the same process begins again which means the Commission has the option of rezoning a property back to what it was or granting up to an additional two-year period; therefore, the same process is repeated; that Section 6 on the same page says that if an application was filed for site plan approval prior to the effective date of this ordinance, the old terms would apply, one year/one year; that if an application was filed after the effective date of this ordinance, then the two year/two year duration would apply. Planning and Development Director Robinson stated that the proposed ordinance was designed not to be retroactive and thought that was done to prevent an administrative nightmare. Commissioner Cardamone asked how many individual site and development plans are pending. Bill Hewes, Director of Building, Zoning, and Code Enforcement, came before the Commission and stated that his department tracks all of the plans now and it would not be a problem to continue to track them at varying dates rather than on one date; that he would estimate that there may be as many as 20 plans pending. Deputy City Manager Schneider stated that due to the discussion, he suggests that the ordinance could be amended that the existing cases where there is not a rezoning could be reviewed for a possible one-year extension. Attorney Schenk asked whether the Commission wanted the proposed ordinance to authorize the City Manager to extend site and development plans for no more than a total of four years? Vice Mayor Patterson stated what she meant was to extend plans a total of four years from initial filing. Attorney Schenk stated that it would not be a problem to amend the proposed ordinance in this fashion. City Auditor and Clerk Robinson read proposed Ordinance No. 93-3667 by title only. On motion of Commissioner Atkins and second of Commissioner Merrill, it was moved to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 93-3667. Commissioner Atkins asked whether it would be difficult to amend the proposed ordinance to allow everyone to have an opportunity to have the four years (extension) that is being brought into existence? Attorney Schenk stated that the proposed ordinance could be amended as suggested between first and second readings to clarify Commissioner Atkins' suggestion. On motion of Commissioner Atkins and second of Commissioner Merrill, it was moved to amend the motion that the limit of present petitions is four years extension). Vice Mayor Patterson stated that the original motion was to pass the proposed ordinance on first reading as presently written; that the amendment to the motion is to reword the proposed ordinance between first and second readings in such a way that every petitioner that is in the process now would be granted a total of four years from start to finish between inception and expiration. Vice Mayor Patterson called for the vote on the amendment to the motion. Motion carried unanimously (4 to 0): Atkins, yes; Cardamone, yes; Merrill, yes; Patterson, yes. Vice Mayor Patterson requested that City Auditor and Clerk Robinson proceed with the roll-call vote on the original motion as amended. Motion carried unanimously (4 to 0): Atkins, yes; Cardamone, yes; Merrill, yes; Patterson, yes. 9.

Lorrie Muldowney and J. Whitcomb Rylee, representing Stanley and Anne Tsigounis, owners of the property, came before the Commission. Mr. Rylee stated that the Thoms Home is being nominated for historic significance under criterion A because it is a significant structure built during the Florida real estate boom, under criterion D as an excellent example of Mediterranean Revival style, and under criterion E as an excellent example of a building built by Leadley Ogden, an important local builder, and designed by architect Fred Orr. Mr. Rylee continued that Leadley Ogden came to Sarasota in 1924 and at the peak of the boom in 1925 he had 653 men in his employ and was starting two to three new buildings a day in Sarasota.

SCHEDULED PRESENTATIONS - PRESENPATION RE: UPDATE ON THE RINGLING CAUSEWAY REPLACEMENT BRIDGE PROJECT = ADMINISTRATION TO SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING so THE COMMISSION CAN EXPRESS ITS OPINION ON THE HEIGHT OF A BRIDGE IN RESOLUTION FORM TO THE SARABOTA-HAMATEE MPO (AGENDA ITEM V-1) #1 (2890) through #2 (1666) Nancy Bright, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Project Manager, and Dick Combs, with the engineering firm Greiner, Inc. who was contracted by FDOT to conduct the study on the bridge, came before the Commission. Ms. Bright stated that she is the Project Manager for the FDOT for a project development and environmental study to replace the John Ringling Bridge; that the study was started in February 1992 to determine the best way to replace the existing bridge; that the Sarasota-Manatee MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization) created a Task Team to work with FDOT to assist in determining the best solution; that numerous corridors throughout the Bay were evaluated and it was determined that the existing alignment area is the best place to continue to work; that an open forum informational (FDOT) workshop was conducted and many displays were shown. Ms. Bright displayed two bridge models, one showing the existing 21 foot bascule bridge alongside a 45 foot drawbridge and the other model showed the existing 21 foot bascule bridge alongside a 65 foot fixed-span bridge; that FDOT has agreed to design amenities which can change (enhance) the appearance of a bridge. Mr. Combs stated that various alternatives were presented at the (FDOT) workshop held on March 16, 1993; that the alternatives presented were an alignment north of the existing bridge, a tunnel north of the existing bridge, and an alignment south of the existing bridge; that input from the approximately 200 attendees of the workshop was incorporated into the recommendation of an alignment north of the existing bridge. Mr. Combs continued that there are three levels of possible design treatment for bridges; that level one is an engineeringly functional bridge with very little landscaping and no frills; that level two utilizes some techniques with tiering, retaining walls, and a little more landscaping and the possibility of coloring and texturing the concrete on the bridge; that level three is the highest level of treatment that takes a bridge that is functional and turning it into something that looks very nice. Mr. Combs stated further that the FDOT has committed to providing a level three design treatment for the Ringling Causeway replacement bridge. Ms. Bright stated that the FDOT currently considers the following as valid alternatives for the Ringling Bridge: > no build (major repairs to existing bridge) at a cost of $2.9 million > a new 21 foot bascule structure at a cost of approximately $33.6 million a new 45 foot bascule structure at an estimated cost of $33.9 million - a new 65 foot fixed structure at an approximate cost of $24.9 million Commissioner Merrill asked whether these figures included the cost of design amenities? Ms. Bright stated that costs for design amenities were not included in the figures she just quoted. Ms. Bright indicated on a drawing where a 45 foot and 65 foot bridge would reach grade level in comparison with where the existing 21 foot bridge is today on both Bird Key and the mainland; and stated that a 21, 45, or 65 foot bridge would all reach grade Book 35 Page 9480 06/21/93 6:00 P.M. Book 35 Page 9481 06/21/93 6:00 P.M. level at the same point on the mainland side because of the location of the channel. Mr. Combs stated that there is a longer distance from the centerline of the channel to the mainland side than to the Bird Key side. Commissioner Atkins asked whether a viable option was to move the channel so that the bridge span would reach ground level sooner on the Bird Key side? Mr. Combs stated that this option had been reviewed; however, from an environmental and permitting standpoint, the impacts associated with moving the channel were not felt to be in the best interest because grade level would be reached only a few hundred feet sooner. Commissioner Cardamone asked whether a 65 foot high bridge would ever need to be closed due to high winds? Mr. Combs stated that throughout the study, nothing has been found that would indicate that a 65 foot bridge would have to be closed during high winds. Vice Mayor Patterson asked what the height of the Siesta Key Bridge is? Mr. Combs stated that he does not know the height of the Siesta Key Bridge; however, the New Pass Bridge is 45 feet. Vice Mayor Patterson asked when the FDOT was going to make its recommendation to the Sarasota-Manatee MPO for a final vote? Ms. Bright stated that it would be brought to the Sarasota-Manatee MPO either just prior to or just following the (FDOT) public hearing; that it is normally just prior to the public hearing; that the public hearing is targeted to be held the Fall of 1993; that some MPOs want to have a recommendation brought to them before the (FDOT) public hearing and other MPOs prefer to have a recommendation after the (FDOT) public hearing. Ms. Bright stated that the FDOT wants to discuss the issue with the City Commission once a definitive plan is developed. Robert Soran, 403 Meadowlark Drive, came before the Commission and stated that he wanted to make some comments on the issues of height, cost, wind loading, and evacuation; that with regard to height, he wanted to point out that a 65 foot bridge would actually be about 78 feet high including guardrails, etc.; that he is concerned about the steepness of the bridge and traffic implications at Bird Key Drive; that with regard to the cost, all of the evaluations provided by the FDOT and Greiner, Inc. were essentially net present value numbers; that a higher bridge is less friendly in evacuation because the wind loading is higher; that the Sarasota Emergency Evacuation Department has stated that they favor lower bridges as being safer for evacuating; that the Coast Guard closes bridges to boat traffic when winds reach 39 miles per hour in storms; that it seems the residents of Longboat Key feel a 65 foot bridge would be best as an evacuation route, but the problem for evacuation is the flooding of St. Armands Circle and the (Ringling) Causeway and not the bridge. Ms. Bright came before the Commission and stated that the construction costs she just quoted are for construction only and do not include life cycle costs for operation and maintenance. Gene Gauch, 100 Bird Key Drive, representing the Bird Key Improvement Association, Inc., came before the Commission and stated that he is the Bird Key member on the Bridge Replacement Task Force and is president of the Bird Key Homeowners' Association; that Bird Key is the only constituency that will have any financial loss in the decision making process; that Bird Key's tax base is $160 million annually and the Property Appraiser has said that if a large bridge is built by Bird Key, the tax base will drop dramatically because the value of the homes will decrease proportionally. Vice Mayor Patterson stated that she had this presentation placed on the agenda to ask whether the Commission wants to take a stance on behalf of the City regarding a preference for a replacement bridge when this issue comes before the Sarasota-Manatee MPO; that if the Commission would like to direct the votes of the City's MPO members, it should be made known. Vice Mayor Patterson continued that perhaps the Administration should be instructed to arrange a public hearing on this issue prior to the Sarasota-Manatee MPO vote. Commissioner Atkins stated that when the Commission appoints people to Task Forces, he expects the interests of the majority of the people of the City to be expressed by that person; that he does not want the FDOT to continue to evaluate all the various alternatives if the Commission has a strong opinion about this issue; that after seeing the models of the various size bridges tonight, he feels the 65 foot span is out of livable reality for him to support; that he would be willing to support repairing the existing bridge. Vice Mayor Patterson stated that she is not only concerned about the impact a high bridge will have on Bird Key but also what a 65 foot bridge will do to one of the most beautiful areas of the City; that she will probably shy away from voting in favor of a high bridge; that she feels this Commission should take a stance on this issue; that she understands that in order for the Commission to vote on this issue, it must be advertised and scheduled for a future meeting. Attorney Schenk stated that she does not believe the Commission is prohibited from voting tonight on this issue; however, if the Commission wants to adopt a resolution of this Commission setting forth its position, it would have to be done at a separate meeting so the title could be posted and the appropriate document prepared. Book 35 Page 9482 06/21/93 6:00 P.M. Book 35 Page 9483 06/21/93 6:00 P.M. Commissioner Merrill stated that he would like the Commission to take a position about the replacement bridge at some time. Vice Mayor Patterson asked the Administration to schedule at the earliest time convenient an official vote (public hearing) of the Commission to express in resolution form to the Sarasota-Manatee MPO its opinion on the height of a bridge. 13. CITIZENS . INPUT BONNIE WAGONER REQUESTED THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY PROVIDE HER A COPY OF THE VERBAL ENGINEERING REPORT DONE BY ARDAMAN AND ASSOCIATES REGARDING HER PROPERTY ON DEVONSHIRE LANE (AGENDA ITEM VI) #2 (1668) through (2065) Marie Spurrier, 2115 Phillippi Street, came before the Commission and asked when the repairs on the Saprito Fishing Pier will begin? Deputy City Manager Schneider stated that the design work is continuing toward a final design and then bids will be taken for a contract. Dennis Daughters, City Engineer, came before the Commission and stated that construction is anticipated to begin in October and be completed in December; that the final design work will take approximately a month; that the bidding process will take about three months; that he plans to bring the award of the construction contract to the Commission at the meeting of September 7, 1993. Ms. Spurrier asked whether this included repairs to the roadway leading to the pier? Mr. Daughters stated that the roadway would also be repaired; however, it is not planned to repair the road back to its previous condition because of the proposed replacement of the bridge on the north side of the existing bridge. Ms. Spurrier asked whether the wooden "no name" pier would be repaired also? Mr. Daughters stated that the wooden pier would be repaired also; that the road and small wooden pier will probably be repaired separately from the contract for the Saprito Pier. Bonnie Wagoner, 1714 Devonshire Lane, came before the Commission and stated that she understands that the city had purchased some property that was contaminated with asbestos and this political "boo boo" cost $200,000 to remedy; that she also understands that ten service people who collect refuse and garbage to keep our City looking beautiful were recently laid off because of lack of funds for salaries and she understands the salaries were approximately $20,000 annually; that the $200,000 spent (to remedy the asbestos contamination) would have kept these ten people on the payroll and maintained the level of service that the citizens have a right to expect. Ms. Wagoner stated that City Attorney Taylor had sent her a letter stating that there was no public record of the engineering survey (a copy of which she had requested at the June 7, 1993 Commission meeting) done by Gary Schmidt of Ardaman and Associates because it was a verbal report; that the report was used in mediation; therefore, she would like to have a copy of the verbal report. 14. UNFINISHED BUSINESS - APPROVAL RE: PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. 93R-659, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND THE SUBMISSION OF THE 1993-94 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION TO THE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT SETTING FORTH FINDINGS; ETC. (TITLE ONLY) - ADOPTED (AGENDA ITEM VII-1) #2 (2067) through (2132) City Auditor and Clerk Robinson read proposed Resolution No. 93R-659 by title only. On motion of Commissioner Atkins and second of Commissioner Cardamone, it was moved to adopt proposed Resolution No. 93R-659. Commissioner Merrill stated that he feels these funds (CDBG) should be spent on storm drainage throughout the City. Motion carried (3 to 1) : Atkins, yes; Cardamone, yes; Merrill, no; Patterson, yes. Vice Mayor Patterson asked the Commission's permission to move New Business Agenda Item VIII-2 ahead of Item VIII-1 due to the fact that citizens were in the audience waiting to address this issue. It was the consensus of the Commission to do as Vice Mayor Patterson suggested. 15. NEW BUSINESS = APPROVAL RE: AUTHORIZE MAYOR TO SIGN DECLARATION OF NO IMPACT ON PROPERTY AT BIRD KEY PARK FOR THE RELOCATION OF THE JOHN RINGLING BRIDGE = NO ACTION TAKEN (AGENDA ITEM VIII-2) #2 (2144) through (2955) Vice Mayor Patterson stated that a revised letter (dated June 18, 1993) from the Mayor to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) had been distributed (to the Commission) to replace the original letter (dated June 14, 1993). Dennis Daughters, City Engineer, and Ann Venables, Environmental Project Manager for the Ringling bridge replacement project with the FDOT came before the Commission. Ms. Venables stated that Section 4F of the FDOT Act of 1966 states that the Secretary of Transportation can approve transportation projects that impact publicly-owned recreational lands only if there are no feasible alternatives to impacting that land; and that Book 35 Page 9484 06/21/93 6:00 P.M. Book 35 Page 9485 06/21/93 6:00 P.M. any efforts to minimize the potential impacts are incorporated into that transportation project. Ms. Venables continued that it has been determined by the Federal Highway Administration that Section 4F applies to Bird Key Park located on the north side of Bird Key; that the Sarasota-Manatee MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization) has concurred with the FDOT's decision to limit further study of bridge alternatives to those along the existing alignment on the north side of the existing bridge and all three of the proposed alternatives would affect approximately 0.03 acres of City-owned land on Bird Key Park. Ms. Venables stated that the FDOT is preparing a 4F evaluation which will be submitted to the Federal Highway Administration for review and concurrence; that included in this evaluation will be a discussion of any potential affects from the proposed bridge construction on Bird Key Park and a discussion of why other alternatives are not feasible that would avoid using this land; that the City of Sarsota's assessment of the impacts to Bird Key Park would also be included. Ms. Venables continued that the FDOT does not feel that obtaining this small parcel of land at the edge of the park would impact the use of the park by the public and City officials shared this opinion in discussions that were held. Mr. Daughters stated that Bird Key Park is currently utilized by wind surfers, jet skiers, and bicyclists; that this area has been eroded in past storms and is not used as an active recreational facility; that he does not feel that using 0.03 acres will impair any future use for expanding any of the current recreational uses at Bird Key Park. Gene Gauch, 100 Bird Key Drive, representing the Bird Key Improvement Association, Inc., came before the Commission and stated that he had left a packet of information (dated June 21, 1993 - a copy of which is on file in the Office of the City Auditor and Clerk) with Vice Mayor Patterson. Vice Mayor Patterson stated that she had copies made and distributed to the rest of the Commissioners. Mr. Gauch stated further that the Ringling Bridge Task Force has asked the County and the State Attorney to evaluate the 1928 John Ringling Estate deed that conveyed to the City of Sarasota certain lands comprising the landfalls for the Ringling Causeway Bridge; that the deed required the City to perpetually maintain, operate, and keep the bridges open from Golden Gate Point across Sarasota Bay to the eastern line of St. Armands Key; that the deed states that the property would revert to the John Ringling Estate, its successors or assigns, should the City fail or neglect to perform these stipulations. Mr. Gauch continued that he asks that the Commission defer action on the Mayor signing the Declaration of No Impact letter until a legal opinion is received from the State, County, and City as to whether there will be a violation of the (John Ringling) Estate deed if a replacement bridge is constructed north of the existing bridge. Robert Soran, 403 Meadowlark Drive, came before the Commission and stated that he believes it would be preliminary if the Commission comments to the FDOT as this point in time through a Declaration of No Impact letter from the Mayor because there are many alternatives to impacting Bird Key Park; that he feels the Commission would want to know the impact to the bottom of the Bay with using the 0.03 acres of park "uplands" prior to issuing a letter on this. It was the consensus of the Commission to take no action on this item at this time. 16. NEW BUSINESS = DISCUSSION RE: MANASOTA LEAGUE OF CITIES' (MSLC) REPRESENTATIVES INVOLVEMENT IN TRANSPORTATION ISSUES WHERE THEIR INITIATIVES MIGHT ACTUALLY OPPOSE SARABOTA-ANATEE MPO POSITIONS, (I.E.: CORTEZ BRIDGE, THIRD BRIDGE CROSSING MANATEE RIVER IN BRADENTON) = AGREED THAT MSLC REPRESENTATIVES CAN TAKE A POSITION ON TRANSPORTATION ISSUES THAT MIGHT OPPOSE MPO POSITIONS (AGENDA ITEM VIII-1) #1 (2967) through (3303) Vice Mayor Patterson stated that she had asked that this item be placed on the agenda because issues regarding the Cortez Bridge and a third bridge being studied that would cross the Manatee River have been brought twice to the ManaSota League of Cities (MSLC) to get a consensus and a resolution that opposes the Sarasota-Manatee MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization) recommendation for said bridges. Vice Mayor Patterson continued that she was in the odd position of being on both the Sarasota-Manatee MPO and the MSLC; that the MSLC decided to send a resolution to the State League of Cities to reexamine the idea of having a bi-County MPO; that historically Leagues have opposed MPO decisions; however, she does not want to do this if it is going to make the City Commission uncomfortable and asked for direction from the Commission on this matter. Commissioner Merrill stated that he feels Vice Mayor Patterson should use her own wisdom when sitting on a Board; that he feels local communities should have a say in what is done regarding bridges and other matters; therefore, he supports the League of Cities getting involved. Commissioner Cardamone stated that she felt these issues were worthy of discussion by the League. Commissioner Atkins stated that his position regarding Commissioners sitting on various Boards is that a thin line is walked regarding the individual's opinion, the opinion of the majority of the constituency, and the total City; that he feels the greatest impact to the community where such bridges are being proposed has to be carefully thought out. Book 35 Page 9486 06/21/93 6:00 P.M. Book 35 Page 9487 06/21/93 6:00 P.M. Vice Mayor Patterson stated that what she is hearing is that there will be no opposition, as far as her representation is concerned, for the League of Cities to take a stance that might be directly in opposition to the Sarasota-Manatee MPO even if it is specific to transportation. 17. NEW BUSINESS = DISCUSSION RE: 6TH STREET LAGOON RESTORATION PROJECT BOARDWALK FUNDING = DIRECTED ADMINISTRATION TO SEEK LOCAL MATCHING FUNDS FOR THE BOARDWALK (AGENDA ITEM VIII-3) #2 (3305) through (3394) Deputy City Manager Schneider stated that earlier this evening the Commission had approved the contract for the canal restoration and this agenda item is a piece of this project because there was not enough money in the project to fund the bridge (boardwalk); that the DER (Department of Environmental Regulation) is willing to contribute some funding; however, local matching funds are required; that the Administration is asking for permission to seek local matching funds for this. It was the consensus of the Commission to support directing the Administration to look into locating matching funds for the boardwalk. 18. BOARD APPOINTMENTS - APPOINTMENT RE: SARASOTA COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 93-44, EXPANDING THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD TO INCLUDE AN ELECTED MEMBER APPOINTED BY EACH GOVERNING BODY OF THE INCORPORATED MUNICIPALITIES WITHIN SARASOTA COUNTY; AND REQUEST THE CITY COMMISSION, ON BEHALF OF SARASOTA COUNTY, TO APPOINT ONE OF ITS ELECTED MEMBERS COMMISSIONER ATKINS APPOINTED TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND COMMISSIONER CARDAMONE APPOINTED AS ALTERNATE (AGENDA ITEM IX-1) #2 (3395) through (3483) On motion of Commissioner Merrill and second of Commissioner Cardamone, it was moved to nominate Commissioner Atkins to represent the City on the Economic Development Board that is being created by Sarasota County and Commission Cardamone as the alternate. Motion carried unanimously (4 to 0): Atkins, yes; Cardamone, yes; Merrill, yes; Patterson, yes. 19. REMARKS OF COMMISSIONERS, ANNOUNCEMENTS AND ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING - DIRECTED ADMINISTRATION TO REVIEW PLACING DESIGNATIONS OF HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE UNDER CONSENT AGENDA IN THE FUTURE DIRECTED THE CITY AUDITOR AND CLERK TO REVIEW POLICIES FOR THE BIDDING PROCESS AND REPORT FINDINGS TO THE COMMISSION = DIRECTED ADMINISTRATION TO EXPRESS THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE ON THE NOISE SPREADING MEASURE THE AIRPORT IS TESTING AND THE PROPOSED MEASURE TO USE A RUNWAY THAT WILL DIRECT TRAFFIC DOWN THE MIDDLE OF SARASOTA BAY AT THE SEPTEMBER 2, 1993 MEETING OF THE NOISE ABATEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE; AND DIRECTED TO LIAISON WITH EILEEN LINXWILER (AGENDA ITEM X) #2 (3485) through #3 (0261) COMMISSIONER CARDAMONE: A. stated that it was not quite 9:00 p.m. and she wanted Mayor Pillot to know how quickly Vice Mayor Patterson ran this meeting. COMMISSIONER MERRILL: A. asked whether the Commission could pass the Historic Preservation public hearings to the Planning Board or back to the Historic Preservation Board, or whether they could be placed under Consent Agenda? City Auditor and Clerk Robinson stated that a public hearing is necessary because an ordinance is required; that perhaps this procedure can be changed in the new Historic Preservation Element that is being created. Deputy City Manager Schneider stated that the Administration would check on this and advise the Commission. B. stated that he noticed money had run out on another contract (6th Street Lagoon project); that the City is only getting two or three people bidding on projects; that someone might say just cut back on the project, but sometimes you have a project where you really need the money, such as the neighborhood improvement project, the Laurel Park project, and this (6th Street Lagoon) bridge. Commissioner Merrill continued that he feels the Commission might want to have the City Auditor look at the results of some of the City's recent bid openings and find out if the City Auditor thinks some policies have been put in place that are well intended but, due to the lack of competition that the policies may spur, are causing the City to lose the amount of money that was trying to be saved; that it seems like all projects are coming in far over estimates. Commissioner Merrill stated further that since the economy is in a recession, contractors should be begging for work and he does not understand why only two people are bidding on projects and why they are way over budget. Vice Mayor Patterson stated that she thinks this is a reasonable request and she supports it; that a way to overcome a possible deterrent to contractors to bid on projects might be by creating an escape clause or a period of time during which (a contractor) an error in a bid might be discovered. Book 35 Page 9488 06/21/93 6:00 P.M. Book 35 Page 9489 06/21/93 6:00 P.M. Commissioner Cardamone stated that she believes this suggestion is a good idea. City Auditor and Clerk Robinson stated that he would do as the Commission directed. COMMISSIONER ATKINS: A. asked whether ten people had been laid off from the City? Deputy City Manager Schneider stated that he was not aware of anyone being laid off. VICE MAYOR PATTERSON: A. stated that Eileen Linxwiler had been monitoring the Noise Abatement Advisory Committee (NAAC) that provides advice to the Airport Authority; that the Town of Longboat Key is trying to get a particular runway used to follow a path that would take a portion of the airport traffic south across the middle of Sarasota Bay which would affect Bird Key, Sapphire Shores, and other areas; that the NAAC will hold a meeting on September 2, 1993 at 1:30 p.m. to discuss this (proposed departure procedure); that she would like someone from the City to attend this meeting to speak on behalf of the City of Sarasota. Commissioner Merrill stated that complaints from Palm-aire succeeded in getting airport traffic redirected over McIntosh Road, Glen Oaks, Bobby Jones Golf Course, Bearded Oaks, and much of the City of Sarasota; that he had called the airport and was told that people should call their elected Commissioners on the Airport Authority about this. Commissioner Merrill continued that it is an important issue to Sarasota because it will affect tax values; that he feels the City should take a more aggressive approach on this issue because other groups are petitioning to dump the flights onto Sarasota because we have not been complaining. It was the consensus of the Commission to direct the Administration to express the City's perspective on the measure currently being tested by the airport and the measure that is proposed to spread airport noise over Sarasota at the NAAC meeting of September 2, 1993 at 1:30 p.m. Vice Mayor Patterson stated that she would like the Administration to liaison with Eileen Linxwiler on this issue. 20. OTHER MATTERS/ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS (AGENDA ITEM XI) #3 (0261) through (0272) CITY AUDITOR AND CLERK ROBINSON: A. stated that he wanted to remind the Commission that the first meeting in July will be held on Tuesday, July 6, since Monday is a holiday for the Fourth of July. Commissioner Merrill stated that he would not be able to attend the meeting of July 6. 21.
