CITY MANAGER REPORT
The following is my report for the Council’s regular meeting of July 13, 2021.
A. ACTION ITEMS
1. Acknowledgement of the City Manager’s Proposed FY 2021-2022 Annual Operating
Budget and Establishment of the Annual Budget Public Hearings
On or before July 13, 2021, you should receive an electronic copy of the City Manager’s
Proposed FY 2021-2022 Annual Operating Budget.
Additionally, Florida Statutes Chapter 200.065 provides that municipalities, counties and
school boards must hold two public hearings on their proposed annual budgets.
Additionally, this statute requires municipalities to avoid holding public hearings on their
proposed annual budget on the same date that either the local school board or county
government holds public hearings on their respective budgets.
I would ask that you acknowledge receipt of the City Manager’s Proposed FY 2021-2022
Annual Operating Budget.
Additionally, you previously approved a City Council Workshop to review the City
Manager’s Proposed FY 2021-2022 Budget on Tuesday, July 20, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. You
also previously approved the first Public Hearing for the FY 2021-2022 Proposed
Operating Budget on Tuesday, September 14, 2021 for adoption of a Tentative Operating
Budget and Tentative Operating Millage, along with the second Public Hearing on
Monday, September 27, 2021. Both Public Hearings will be at 7:00 p.m.
2. Amendments to the City Personnel Policies
I am requesting the following amendments to the city’s Personnel Policies.
Section 4.8.1 Exempt Employee
Adding a new subsection E. to read as follows:
E. Due to the unlimited work schedule of Exempt Employees, from time to time such
employees may work less than 80 hours but a minimum of 76 hours during a bi-
weekly pay period, without the loss of pay or the required use of accrued leave.
Section 7.5 Overtime
Adding a new subsection B to read as follows:
B. Non-exempt employees who are called back to work after completing his or her
normal shift, for an unscheduled event, will be compensated at time and one-half
their hourly rate for a minimum call-back time of two hours, except when the call-
back event is the employee’s error or failure to perform task that requires immediate
July 13, 2021 -2- City Manager’s Report
Regular City Council Meeting
corrective action. Work in excess of this 2-hour minimum will be treated normally in
the calculation of overtime in a 40-hour work period.
B. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
1. 2021 Florida League of Cities Annual Conference – August 12-14, 2021
The 2021 Florida League of Cities (FLC) Annual Conference will be held August 12-14,
2021 at the World Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida. We have provided an electronic
copy of the conference and hotel registration information. If you plan on attending this
conference, please contact Altara Warren, Executive Assistant/Special Projects
Coordinator as soon as possible so we may make your room reservation prior to the hotel
rooms being sold out.
The hotel registration deadline is July 22, 2021 and actual conference registration deadline
is July 30, 2021.
2. Indian Harbour Beach Police Department Construction Update
W & J Construction, the contractor for the construction of the new Indian Harbour Beach
Police Headquarters continues their work on this project. The front trusses and decking
are complete. The interior framing is over 95% complete. The MEP rough-in progressing
and main roof insulation board material was located and delivered to site, but TPO roof
membrane/fastener shortage continues. The supplier of the TPO roof membrane has not
provided a delivery date other than “sometime in July”.
Interior progress on the building will be delayed due to lack of roofing materials to keep
interior dry. Hanging drywall on one side of walls and insulating duct could already be in
progress if building was dried in. Our contractor is working with roofer and suppliers to
expedite a solution.
The stucco work is near completion and glass installation for the windows has
commenced. Additionally, site work, including pond over excavation and replacement, is
continuing.
Florida Power & Light has set the permanent power pole and the FPL site conduits are
complete. The contractor is working with FPL to confirm transformer and conductor
installation within the next two weeks.

5. Pine Tree Drive and School Road Drainage Improvements
You will recall in May, you approved a contract with Atlantic Development for the installation
of a storm inlet at the intersection of Pine Tree Drive and School Road to collect this
standing water and connect the inlet via a pipe to the existing stormwater collection system
on the south side of Pine Tree Drive. Regrettably, the contractor encountered a live force
main on the south side of Pine Tree Drive which prevents the connection of the drainage
structure on the north side of the roadway. Based upon this evaluation, Mr. Scaldo worked
with the contractor to construct an alternative of exfiltration piping on the north side of the
roadway to attempt to address this drainage issue.

City Council Agenda Item
Public Hearing and Second Reading on Ordinance No. 2021-10 Amending Chapter 9 of
the Code of Ordinances, Business Tax Receipts, Creating Article III Mobile Food
Dispensing Regulations
Meeting Date: July 13, 2021
Staff Recommendation: Conduct a public hearing and second reading of Ordinance
No. 2021-10 Amending Chapter 9 of the Code of Ordinances, Business Tax Receipts,
creating Article III Mobile Food Dispensing Regulations
Background Information:
The Florida Legislature passed, and Governor DeSantis signed into law in the 2020
Florida Legislative Session, CS/HB 1193, Deregulation of Professional and Occupations.
This bill prohibits local governments from prohibiting Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicles.
This Legislation permits local governments to regulate the operation of mobile food
dispensing vehicles, except as provided for in Florida Statute, Section 509.102 (2).
As a result of this legislation, the City is amending the Zoning code to allow Mobile Food
Dispensing Vehicles within the B-1 General Commercial Zoning District. The B-1 Zoning
District is the same zoning that provides that restaurants are a permitted use.
In adopting this zoning provision, the City Council has determined that it is in the best
interest of the residents of the City of Indian Harbour Beach and it is the furtherance of
the public health, safety, and welfare, to formally adopt this Ordinance to regulate the
operation of Mobile Food Dispensing vehicles.
Ordinance No. 2021-10 is presented for a public hearing and adoption.
Staff Recommendation:
Conduct a public hearing and second reading of Ordinance No. 2021-10 Amending
Chapter 9 of the Code of Ordinances, Business Tax Receipts, creating Article III Mobile
Food Dispensing Regulations
City Council Agenda Item
Public Hearing and Second Reading of Ordinance No. 2021-11 Amending Section 16.5 – 14 (B)
of the Code of Ordinances Authorizing the Use of Stormwater Utility Funds for a Rebate Program
Meeting Date: July 13, 2021
Staff Recommendation: Conduct a public hearing and second reading of Ordinance No.
2021-11 amending Section16.5 – 14 (B) of the Code of Ordinances authorizing the use of
Stormwater Utility Funds for a rebate program for certain improvements on private property to
prevent stormwater from rooftops from entering the Indian River Lagoon.
Background Information:
At the June 8, 2021 City Council Meeting, Staff presented a proposal to amend the City’s
Stormwater Utility Fund regulations to implement a rebate program for the installation of certain
improvements, such as rain barrels, on private property that would prevent stormwater from
rooftops from entering the Indian River Lagoon. The City Council endorsed this proposal.
In an effort to prevent pollution from roof runoff, if approved, this ordinance would allow the City
to encourage the installation of rain barrels to capture and store rainwater running off a rooftop.
The harvested rainwater can be used immediately or stored for later use to water lawns and
landscaped areas, fill ponds or fountains, or wash cars. This proposal is modeled after the City of
Melbourne program that provides their residents to receive one $50 rebate for installing a new
40-gallon or larger rain barrel.
City Attorney Bohne, has opined the use of stormwater utility funds as an incentive to reimburse
property owners who install improvements to collect and store stormwater to prevent harmful
pollutant laden stormwater from discharging to the Indian River Lagoon; serves a valid public
purpose and conforms to various statutes.
Ordinance No. 2021-11 is presented for a public hearing and adoption.
Staff Recommendation:
Conduct a public hearing and second reading of Ordinance No. 2021-11 amending Section 16.5
– 14 (B) of the Code of Ordinances authorizing the use of Stormwater Utility Funds for a rebate
program for certain improvements on private property to prevent stormwater from rooftops from
entering the Indian River Lagoon.
