Palmetto City Council Council Meeting
Date: Mar 3, 2003Type: Meeting mention
Key discussions included addressing citizen concerns regarding flooding in the Jackson Park area and the status of drainage improvements like Carr Drain and culvert replacements. The Council considered documentation related to a $6,000 CRA expenditure for Challenge Day. The agenda included approving the day's agenda (with the addition of the city clerk appointment topic being postponed) and approving the consent agenda items, excluding February minutes. Two public hearings were held for zoning ordinance changes (Ordinance No. 03-771 and 03-772) for property located on 6th Ave W, both of which were adopted subject to staff conditions, including landscape buffering for the first. Significant time was dedicated to reviewing and ultimately approving the ranking of engineering firms (ZNS, JEA, CH2M) for primary services, followed by approving the contract with Zoller Najjar Shroyer LC (ZNS) subject to several noted revisions concerning scope, fee breakdown, conflict of interest, and contract manager identification. The contract for Jones Edmunds Associates Inc. (JEA) as the alternate firm was also approved with conditions. The Council authorized a letter urging full funding for the beach erosion control project priority list. Other topics involved updates on waterline replacement, police property room audit, discussion on eliminating the cap on sewer billing exceeding 10,000 gallons, ongoing demolition of the Love property, and the status of the School Resource Officer agreement with Manatee School for the Arts. Council members also requested updates on drain maintenance and addressed litter concerns.
