Commissioner Robert S. Miller stated, "I would like to see some other alternatives
looked at by the City. Commissioner Miller further added, "I appreciate the data, and I'd
like to see you do this from time to time, on that road - maybe again in a month or two."
Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "I would encourage the City Manager to have them do
their enforcement for a couple of months, and re-do their study and come back to us,
because I'm really still leaning toward some sort of traffic calming in that area."
Commissioner Miller stated, "I would like to see some data in a couple of months, city-
wide, on where this problems is most prevalent; and I would also like to see some data on
where the complaints are coming from." Commissioner Miller added, "I'd like to ask the
City Manager - for those members of our City who are not aware of the impacts of traffic
calming, I'd like the City Manager to put this - the critical parts of this, in the next City
newsletter - because it clearly shows that on - four (4) streets, this really has worked; and
there are no complaints, no speeding, no tickets being issued - something happened over
there!"
Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "Whether it is two (2) months, or whether it is three (3)
months, I don't care - I think maybe the Commission needs to give the City Manager and
the Police Chief direction over when they want this to come back, and when it does come
back, I would like to see - of course, you're going to be doing some selective
enforcement over there, and everything, then I would like to see the amount of money
that we expend in police time on that issue - on enforcement over there, so that we can
say, 'Well, it cost us 'x' number of thousand dollars to get these many citations - or
whatever,' so that we have an idea to compare against what traffic calming would cost
us."
Commissioner Michael S. Blake stated that he was interested in looking "At the statistics
that we have from the machine and try to interpret them."
"I'LL MOVE TO ACCEPT THE RESULTS FROM SHORE ROAD, AND THEN
WE'LL ADD THAT IN OUR KNOWLEDGE BANK, AND NEXT YEAR WHEN
WE GET TO A POINT OF TRYING TO DETERMINE WHERE WE WILL
FUND TRAFFIC CALMING PROJECTS, WE'LL CERT AINL Y REVISIT THIS."
MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BLAKE. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
MILLER. DISCUSSION.
DEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL STATED, "I'D LIKE TO AMEND THE MOTION
TO HAVE THE POLICE COME BACK TO US IN THREE (3) MONTHS WITH
SOME MORE CURRENT INFORMATION, AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN OUT

C. Community Development Department - Code Enforcement Division
Requests The City Commission Consider Information Regarding Sign Permits.
Discussion.
Attorney Garganese stated that "In your sign code, you do have one provision that you
may be able to hang your hat on with respect to Code Enforcement, the provision simply
states that all signs shall be maintained in "Original condition."
Commissioner Blake added, that he would be interested in seeing "Some type of a
replacement ratio, in other words if a sign requires a certain level of repair - say over
forty percent (40%) of it's cost, then it would be deemed to be a replacement sign and
then we have to comply with the codes - something like that would help to accelerate
compliance for non-conforming signs."

The consensus was that this part of the Code be left "as is."
Mayor Partyka asked Attorney Garganese "Is there a weakness in this sign law?"
Attorney Garganese stated, "Mr. Blake's concerns are not addressed with respect to
repairs. You would have to bolster your Ordinance in order to get to where Mr. Blake
wants to go. With respect to the original condition, you would require an additional
permit. If you were going to make a structural change to the sign, outside its original
condition, Mr. Mayor, you would have to get another permit, in my view to do those
changes to the sign."
Regarding clarity, Commissioner Edward Martinez, Jr. added, "I understand that the
clearer the language, the easier it is for people to understand."
"MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DIRECT THE CITY
MANAGER TO COME BACK TO THE COMMISSION WITH SOME IDEAS
THAT WILL HELP US MAINTAIN A HIGH QUALITY OF SIGNAGE, IN AN-
EFFICIENT MANNER AS POSSIBLE." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER
