Atlantic Beach commission approves consent items, a $79,435 generator purchase and advances an ordinance on community development board membership
Summary
The commission approved the consent agenda, a resolution to purchase a $79,435 generator for a water facility, and passed first reading of ordinance 5-26-73 to amend the Community Development Board composition; votes were by voice and no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
At the Dec. 8 meeting the Atlantic Beach City Commission approved several routine consent agenda resolutions by voice vote, authorized replacement of a water-treatment plant generator and advanced an ordinance amending community-development board membership.
Consent agenda: The commission approved four resolutions listed on the agenda (identified in the meeting as resolution numbers 25-1-106, 25-1-109, 25-1-111 and 25-1-112) without separate discussion or recorded roll-call tallies.
Generator replacement: For well number 2R at the city’s water treatment plant, staff recommended replacing an aging generator because repair costs were becoming prohibitive. The project’s final cost is $79,435, up from an original $70,000 estimate; staff said funds would be moved within the utilities account to cover the difference. The commission approved the resolution authorizing the purchase and authorizing the City Manager to execute contracts and purchase orders.
Ordinance 5-26-73 (first reading): The commission approved on first reading an ordinance amending chapter 14 (planning and zoning) to: remove outdated references to the comprehensive plan; add a second alternate to the Community Development Board and outline succession between alternates; clarify the removal process for members so the commission — not the board — removes members; and change several references from a department director to 'city manager or his/her designee.' The measure passed on first reading by voice vote and will return for a second reading as required for final adoption.
Votes: All approvals at the meeting were taken by voice vote; the transcript records the motions, seconds and chair’s voice vote confirmations but does not include a detailed roll-call tally for individual commissioners.
Next steps: The ordinance will return for a required second reading; the generator purchase will proceed under the City Manager’s procurement authority per the approved resolution.
