six-month period, too.
>> vice-mayor: I think so.
>> mayor eggers: unless there
is the sun coast league of
cities.
Do you have any interest in
that, heather?
>> commissioner: I do.
>> they meet on saturday
mornings.
>> mayor eggers: yes, saturday.
it is not every month.
>> commissioner: oh, okay.
>> vice-mayor: is it not once a
month?
>> I know they had one in
December and I thought they were
having one in January.
I called them to get the
calendar for next year and they
haven't gotten that.
>> mayor eggers: I know people
on that.
Ron, did you want to keep the
prec?
>> mayor eggers: I don't have ano carrierringconnect 57600
I believe both boards only met
twice last year.
They were wondering if it was
even worth it, you know, they
didn't withdraw from the vaa but
they didn't want to do the
building one.
I guess the difference is one
deals with florida code and the
other one deals with the land
development code so that might
be something you guys want to
merge at one time because they
meet.
>> mayor eggers: could we have
maybe craig could look at that,
rob, those two boards and maybe
we could have discussion on
that?
I mean I don't want to do it
without the board's input but
maybe he needs to have that
discussion with each of the
boards and they are only meeting
once or twice a year.
>> vice-mayor: which board is
this again?
building adjustment.
>> mayor eggers: board of
adjustment and appeals and the
building board of adjustment and
appeals
maybe he can check with each of
those boards and see if there is
any rationale.
And maybe we can talk about it
after he has talked to them.
anything else?
Rob
rob?
>> yes, I have a few things,
thank you.
First of all, recently
representatives of the dunedin
golf club, Mr. Ron randolph who
is the interim general manager
and jane baird, board member and
treasurer, had asked to meet
with city staff to discuss their
operations and financial outlook
and to seek information.
They had a fire inspection
recently and wanted
clarification on some things and
the club updated the
commissionerlier this year.
When ron and jane met with staff
recently they shared concerns
about potential expense related
to some of their buildings,
pourings of their fire sprinkler
and alarm systems, some trees
that needed to be removed and
their fuel storage.
They also would like to be able
to afford more in the way of
marketing.
While the club is presently
entering their best revenue
generating season for the next
four or five months ron and jane
have concerns about the club's
ability to generate enough
revenues to cover their fixed
expenses after that season.
Ron and jane would like to
provide the commission and
public with a new update and to
discuss some possible options.
If it is the commission's
pleasure I would like to propose
agendizing this update at the
january 10th regular meeting
under new business.
I would also like your consent
for my staff and me to assist
the club in determining
estimated costs for the areas of
concern that the club raised and
there is certainly overlap with
city operations.
>> mayor eggers: is everybody
okay with that?
okay.
>> commissioner: this is not
like agreements are going to be
reached and we are just going to
be presented with this.
>> no.
Nothing has been worked out.
Thy are going to present
basically just hear directly
from them.
Provide you and members of the
public opportunity to ask any
questions that you have and
there is no proposal, nothing
being sought for approval.
It is simply an update as they
did earlier this year, and from
there if there is direction to
them or to staff and, you know,
we will follow your lead.
Next item I wanted to mention
was I had gotten a phone call
from our new state
representative carl zimmerman.
He had requested I just wanted
to make the commission aware he
had asked for the city's
assistance in helping him locate
an office in dunedin.
He would like to have an office
here in this town, and to that
extent bob ironsmith and his
staff are working with
representative zimmerman to help
find a location working with
some area property owners and
trying to find available space
but if we certainly thought it
would be a convenience for our
advantage for our residents to
have a state representative's
office located here in the city
as opposed to elsewhere.
Passed on to the commission but
I mentioned for the public's
benefit just recently we got an
e-mail from the sheriff's
department about captain higgins
who has been with us several
years is a captain at the north
district station being rotated
into another assignment in the
sheriff's operation and that
captain luven will be the new
captain assigned here and that
gentleman will try to get him to
a commission meeting and
introduced to you and the public
at our early
iest opportunity.
We're awaiting some follow-up
from the sheriff ons
when that
might be.
also we just very recently got a
call from the sheriff that the
police athletic league program
they've been running at the
middle school was unfortunately
they are unable to continue
funding that.
And they are not going to be
able tono carrierringconnect 57600y+
@ano carrierringconnect 57600
with that unfinished structure
on it, so the judgment amount is
fairly similar to the value of
the property.
It is within a thousand or
$2,000.
It is my recommendation that we
bid our judgment amount of
$60,719 at the sale which by the
way is next tuesday at 10:00
A.M. Done online.
If you are the highest and best
bidder, which there is some
possibility of that, you will --
your options would include
things such as completing the
home and selling it or retaining
it.
Selling it as is.
Demolishing the home and selling
it or retaining the lot if you
want to demolish the home.
Last time I got this close to
the foreclosure sale I got calls
from interested people and so
far I have not gotten any calls
for the upcoming sale.
I have not heard from Mr. Gibson
since the hearing that took
place last month but he is
actively involved in doing
something because he was talking
to fdot today about who has
jurisdiction over bayshore
boulevard so you will remember
the basis of your lean was the
building of a partial fence
along the property line that he
had so he May be attempting to
make argument that the city did
not have jurisdiction to enter
code enforcement board order so
I don't think he is going to go
very far with that but he is
working on something.
>> mayor eggers: that's next
tuesday?
>> yes, at 10:00 A.M.
I did talk to the official at
fdot.
They said they were going to
call Mr. Gibson back and provide
him with documentation as he
normally would at a public
records request so I expect
something to be filed here in
the next day or so.
But with no objection I will
enter the judgment amount and
you remember when you bid that
you are not coming out f
of pocket
any money but if someone comes
out higher you will get every
dollar you are entitled to.
>> mayor eggers: do we have a
motion to that effect?
Any other questions?
all in favor say aye.
Any opposed?
Okay.
>> thank you.
That's all I had tonight.
>> mayor eggers: all right.
Commission discussion?
Anybody?
I wanted the commission's okay
for staff specifically nancy to
look into creating maybe every
other month, every third month,
I don't know, just a spot on the
commission agenda called
sheriff's corner or sheriff
something that just gives the
opportunity for the sheriff to
come here and show his face to
the city.
That is the largest contract
that we have.
>> commissioner: you are saying
the sheriff?
>> mayor eggers: no, no, no,
sheriff's department probably
our lieutenant would probably
come since that's the typically
the highest ranking person we
have and just basically talk
about if they have an issue they
would like to bring to the
commission if we have a question
we can try to agendize that item
under their corner or if there
is a hot topic in town and some
of this is coming from the
discussion on the south side but
really started making me think
that this is really a big
contract that we have and nobody
really has any, you know,
interaction here with them and I
thought this would be a good way
to do it and I just wanted the
chance for nancy to pursue it
and then bring something back to
us.
>> commissioner: can I ask you
something?
I've been very concerned about
sort of the resources of the
sheriff being pulled away on
some things in the last few
weeks, and I personally think
that they have been doing very
good job and, you know, I kind
of want them to spend their time
to continue doing a good job
they've been doing and, you
know, obviously coming to
meetings here, you know, is
taking up their time and I
certainly appreciate that it is
good for all of us to, you know,
know them and hear from them but
I'm wondering if maybe we could
start with or with a written
report from them and if there is
anything in the report that we
want to learn more about then we
can get together with the
sheriff.
>> mayor eggers: I would prefer
a regular meeting but that's why
I brought it up.
This isn't a decision to do it
tonight it is just a decision to
explore the idea.
>> commissioner: let's explore
what would be easier for them.
>> mayor eggers: I don't want
it to be too demanding.
>> commissioner: but I like
that idea.
>> mayor eggers: I just want
her to pursue the discussion and
then bring it back to us and
then we will decide if they want
to do that.
Or if we want to do what
commissioner scales said which
would just be a letter or that
may be what we get and we May
end up going there anyway.
Is that all right with folks to
just have her explore that?
>> vice-mayor: that's fine.
>> mayor eggers: okay.
I didn't have anything else
under commission discussion.
So commission comments?
Vice-mayor?
>> vice-mayor: I hope everybody
had a great thanksgiving.
That's all I have to say
tonight.
Shocker here.
I need to go home and go to bed.
>> mayor eggers: commissioner
scales?
>> commissioner: I have
nothing.
>> mayor eggers: commissioner?
>> commissioner: just wanted to
express appreciation to all of
you.
We had a good time on the boat
parade and it was a load of
people downtown who spent a lot
of time there before and after
the parade and I wanted to
commend our staff and others for
setting the things up real
nicely and accommodating such a
large group.
It was a welcome to our downtown
and it was fun driving up the
sound with you.
that was an enjoyable
experience.
That's it.
>> mayor eggers: commissioner
gracy?
>> I would echo the same thing
about the boat parade.
My first one and a very fun
time.
Thank you to rod and cindy
coleman for transporting us.
Certainly that was very nice and
I'm looking forward to being on
the jolley trolley on saturday.
>> mayor eggers: here at 3:00
and they will take us down to
the trolley itself.
Anything else?
>> commissioner: no.
>> mayor eggers: all right.
Just a reminder we have the
choir is on sunday
I think somebody sent us an
e-mail as to whether you want a
reserved seat there.
That's sunday at 3:00 and then
there is the christmas band
which is the 15th and the 18th.
Next friday night.
Is that at 7:00?
I don't remember if it is at
7:00 on friday night or not.
7:00 or 8:00.
Anyway and then sunday it is at
3:00 so you have a choice but
let vince's office know if you
have any interest in that.
We had a nice memorial service
for sister delores on monday at
our lady of lourdz.
I didn't get over after the
thing.
How was that?
>> it was very emotional but I
think in the end, you know,
tears of joy just she is in a
better spot we all think and it
was mentioned time and time
again how much she provided to
the city.
>> mayor eggers: she was
amazing.
>> commissioner: she sure was.
>> mayor eggers: ing thank
-- thank
you.
And then we had a 50th
anniversary interact thing at
the high school.
Great job with that program and
the kids should be, the two
clubs and the kids should be
proud of their efforts.
50 years of doing that and then
we had a just I just wanted to
talk about that connector
service.
Real quickly.
>> commissioner: yes, you know,
the connect the psta connector
service starting this month
where you call and you can get
somebody to pick you up in two
hours they had the ribbon
cutting in eastlake monday or
tuesday, tuesday and there is a
little blush about it in the
paper but, anyway, it was real
nice and so it is free rides all
through December anybody that
wants to use the connector
service you can get from, you
can get to any bus or you can
get to the mall.
You can get to east lake,
oldsmar, tampa, tar upon.
#-tarpon.
>> mayor eggers: and the last
thing I had was I just wanted to
continue encouraging all of
those folks that are involved in
the neighborhood watch program
on the south side to stay with
it and to be patient and, you
know, things don't change
overnight.
I think we're all very committed
to the safety on the south side.
Every single one of us up here.
I know the sheriff's office is
committed to it and I know the
residents are frustrated that
things aren't happening.
I think we have a systemic
problem in the society going on
right now and the sheriff's
department is doing an admirable
job and we will just keep
working but we've got to keep
working together on that and I
just don't want anybody givering
up and we do have to work
together as partners so just one
little comment on that.
And with that we have a revised
proposed agenda.
We're adding the lamp post kon
contest appearance by our own
bob ironsmith.
Oh, my.
Do I need to read all of those
numbers?
>> just adding two different
parcel numbers to that.
>> mayor eggers: we're adding
three different parcel numbers.
Thank you, tom.
A bunch of numbers there and
then under the budget amendment
resolution 1265 which is annie
encumbrance carry forward of $4
mill
million mobile home park
committee update and I think
Mr. Dispirito had a couple of
things he was going to add to
the proposed agenda.
Rob?
>> right.
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
at the request of my staff we
would like to add for your
consideration two other items.
One would be under new business
discussion of year-end balances
by fund if this is the
conversation that we, the
commission previously had asked
for status of general fund and
reserve levels and just report
year-end balances by fund to all
of the funds.
It is just a good opportunity to
check in with the commission on
the status of that anyway.
And under bids and contracts and
agreements we would like to add
fire station 61 construction bid
award.
>> mayor eggers: with those
changes do I have a motion for
approval?
And a second there.
All in favor say aye.
Any opposed?
Motion passes unanimously and
this meeting is adjourned.
