Item 6 - Station Planning Update by Fire Rescue and resolution approving the terms and
authorizing the County Administrator, or designee, to execute two separate
Purchase and Sale Agreements for property required for a Fire Station. Fire Rescue
will provide an update concerning the Fire Rescue Master Plan for new and replacement
stations. The presentation will also include information and solutions on Fire Station 5 (St.
Augustine South) and Fire Station 11 (St. Augustine Shores), both of which are in critical
need of replacement. Adoption of the Resolution will approve the terms and acquisition of

a Fire Station that would combine Fire Station 5 (St. Augustine South) and Fire Station 11
(St. Augustine Shores) into one location. This location provides the most efficient long term
solution without deviating from the Fire Rescue Master Plan. Additionally, it will reduce
overall operating costs, providing an effective and efficient fire rescue response throughout
this District without jeopardizing or reducing current ISO road mile coverage areas.

Item 8 - Public Hearing - First Hearing of Ordinance amending Ordinance 2011-46, Sale or
Service to Persons under Twenty-One of Alcoholic Beverages, to strengthen penalties
and enforcement of the ordinance to more easily suspend or revoke an
establishment’s Special Use Permit. Ordinance 2011-46, the St. Johns County Sale or
Service to and/or the Consumption or Allowance of Consumption by Person under
Twenty-One of Alcoholic Beverages Ordinance, passed and enacted December 20th, 2011,
provides certain penalties for establishments that sell or serve alcohol to persons under
21. In addition to a monetary civil fine and up to thirty (30) days imprisonment for
continuous violations, the Ordinance permits the County Administrator to suspend or
revoke the establishment’s Special Use Permit or Business Tax Receipt for the sale or
consumption of alcoholic beverages when a certain number of citations have been issued
within a two-year period and upon a finding of willful and wanton conduct supporting the
citations. The Office of the County Attorney was directed to address under-aged drinking
concerns. This Ordinance amends the Enforcement and Penalties section of Ordinance
2011-46 in order to strengthen the enforcement of the ordinance and to make the
ordinance consistent with Florida Statutes. The amendment eliminates the ability to
revoke a business license receipt, eliminates the language requiring a finding of
continuous willful and wanton conduct, allows consideration of violations of the state law
regarding sale or service of alcohol to persons under 21, and reduces from three (3) to two
(2) the number of citations or violations within a two-year period before suspension or
revocation of the establishment’s Special Use Permit.
