TO: The Honorable Mayor, Council President and Members of Council THRU: David L. Recor, ICMA-CM, City Manager FROM: Frank C. Miller, Special Events Superintendent RE: OC Tall Ship Event – August 1, 2014 – September 1, 2014 DATE: April 24, 2014
ISSUE(S): Request approval of event, modifications and cost-sharing proposal SUMMARY: The Spanish Galleon ANDALUCIA and its sister ship the NAO
VICTORIA will arrive in Ocean City, July 31, 2014, open to patrons on August 1, complete tours on September 1 and depart no later than September 2. The proposed location for the vessels to berth is the bayside boardwalk between 3rd and 4th Streets. Modifications to the boardwalk are required, including the addition of a second set of mooring anchors between 3rd and 4th Streets designed for 40 mph wind and 4 ft/sec current. The additional anchors will consist of: four 2’x6’x6’ concrete mat anchors: $3,000; four 24”- 10 ton rated cleats: $1,520; and miscellaneous labor to remove and replace boardwalk, install
anchors, remove railing as required for gangway and rope access to cleats, and placement of tires and hardware to act as bumpers (minimum four locations).
Total projected cost is $5,920. This is the same cost estimate as in 2013 for the first set of cleats and modifications.
It is recommended that the aforementioned costs be split 50/50 between promoter and Town. The proposed event location requires closing Chicago Avenue between 3rd and 4th Streets. This area includes 12 paid parking spaces. This area is closed to regular vehicular traffic to allow for pedestrian foot traffic around and near gangway to vessel as well as placement of a ticketing location, food and beverage sales, additional restrooms and a small allocation of vendors (retail and sponsor mix). Pirates Festival: Adjacent ball field is proposed for placement of vendors for a shorter duration sub-event expected to encompass an extended weekend for the production of a Pirates Festival. The date and specifics about the proposed festival are not available as of this submission, but staff has made some preliminary comments
Agenda Item # 5A(3)
Council Meeting April 28, 2014
as noted on the attached Cover. Please note that this field area is used as an emergency landing zone (LZ) by EMS/State Police.

Additional needs are electric for ticket sales location and F&B provider, water hookup for vessel (garden hose connection from fish cleaning station), trash removal as part of normal routine, closure of street with barricades, possible closure of curbside parking on 3rd Street for volunteers/event staff. Upon approval, staff shall create MOU and general liability release for approval by City Solicitor, City Manager and Applicant.
FISCAL IMPACT: $2,960 Cost share for second set of mooring anchors.
Positive economic impact from media coverage, lodging, food and beverage and other incidental expenditures.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve 2014 Tall Ship event.
Approve $2,960 cost share for second set of mooring anchors. ALTERNATIVES: Defer to Mayor and Council RESPONSIBLE STAFF: Frank C. Miller, Special Events Superintendent

Breakdown would take place on September 2, 2014.
The event would consist of public tours of a full replica 16th

Comments from Department Representatives:
RISK MANAGEMENT – Hold harmless agreement is signed. Insurance certificate to be obtained prior to the event.
FIRE MARSHAL – Losing ball field as a Medevac landing zone during the Pirates’ Festival Weekend is a concern.
With the set-up of exhibits along the bayside Boardwalk, the exhibits will need to be secured not only for weather
related events, but also for the winds/turbulence generated by the incoming and outgoing Medevac helicopter. The
highest point of the tall ship will have to be identified by a red beacon/light. We will need to be notified well in
advance about the closure of the ball field/landing zone so we can notify the applicable agencies.
PUBLIC WORKS – Will install banners, post streets, install special event fencing, place wooden barricades with
traffic signs on streets, place extra trashcans, place smoking receptacles on pier, and empty trashcans throughout event
area. After event, all materials will be removed and returned to storage. Total estimated cost to the department is
$5,312.42. The only concern is with the “unknown.”
RECREATION & PARKS – The use of ball field requires completion of a Park Reservation application. Would like
to see a diagram of park usage and Pirates Festival. The application is vague and doesn’t explain in detail the location
of vendors or any of the other park use. If use of ball fields is for a prolonged time, Parks will have to work around
irrigating and grass cutting. Depending upon how long the inflatables sit on the grass, the grass may die, depending
on air temperature and humidity. The ball field is used for men’s lacrosse on Tuesday evenings through Aug. 5. Fall
soccer may start in late August, and they also utilize that field. Both vessel captains will have to sign hold harmless
agreement as well. Event producer shall contract directly with Tow Boat U.S., fuel supplier, liquid waste removal
service provider, security provider and portable restroom provider for all vessel and dockside related needs. All
changes, modifications and additional requests shall be routed through the Town of O.C. Private Event Coordinator
for review, comment and submission for approval through the established processes. Additional costs may be
incurred. Need a better defined space use down at the 3rd
and 4th
Streets location.
BEACH PATROL, OCPD, TOURISM, EMERGENCY SERVICES, TRANSPORTATION, and OCCC – No
comments or costs.

C. Discussion of Tourism Strategic Plan presented by Tourism Director
TOWN OF
The White Marlin Capital of the World
TO: The Honorable Mayor, Council President and Members of Council THRU: David L. Recor, ICMA-CM, City Manager FROM: Donna Abbott, Tourism & Marketing Director RE: Tourism strategic plan DATE: April 23, 2014
ISSUE(S): A tourism strategic plan is sought to develop a five-year marketing plan for the Ocean City Department of Tourism
SUMMARY: Earlier this year, the Tourism Department reviewed eight
proposals from firms seeking to prepare a tourism strategic plan for the town. The proposals presented a wide range of approaches and prices, ranging from $36,000-$128,300. These proposals did not address the town’s needs specifically nor were the costs within the range we had anticipated. The Mayor and Council discussed having Lyle Sumek, who has worked with the town on the community strategic plan, facilitate and prepare a plan specifically for tourism.
FISCAL IMPACT: Scope of work by Mr. Sumek will range between $18,000 and
$22,500 plus travel expenses, well below the $40,000 line item for marketing research in the FY14 tourism budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Formally reject the eight proposals received and accept the
attached project scope and contract with Mr. Sumek subject to review by the City Solicitor.
ALTERNATIVES: Defer to Mayor and Council RESPONSIBLE STAFF:

TO: David L. Recor, ICMA-CM, City Manager
FROM: Matthew G. Margotta, AICP, Director of Planning & Community Development RE: Geographic Information Science (GIS) Coordinator Functions and Capabilities
This memo responds to your request for information to describe the current and future functions and capabilities of the GIS Coordinator position. As you’re aware, the position coordinates the geographic data and mapping functions throughout the Town. The current GIS program compiles disparate information from a variety of sources and disseminates the information to employees in the form of easy to use desktop mapping applications that are intended to enhance the performance of their jobs. The Town operates its GIS program utilizing ESRI products which are virtually universal GIS tools in the Government and Private sectors. The Town has one dedicated ArcGIS license and three floating ArcGIS User licenses with the following extensions (enhanced capability functions) for Publisher, Spatial Analysis, 3d Analyst, and Data Viewer. The floating licenses are generally considered as being shared between two ArcGIS Users, which will be adequate for the foreseeable future. The GIS Coordinator compiles, creates and maintains data from a number of sources including: MD Department of Planning, MD Department of Assessments and Taxation, FEMA, Worcester County Emergency Services and Planning Departments, Eastern Shore Gas, as well as extracting data from our internal AS400(HTE) applications of utility and customer data, building permit, business licenses, land records and addresses. Knowledge and practical use of data is the key to this position. We have also developed a number of special mapping projects to aid in extracting mailing address information for BZA and Port Warden notifications, track repetitive loss (FEMA program), dedicated tree plaques, boardwalk benches, irrigation infrastructure and other specialized data requests. By way of example, the GIS Coordinator developed standard map projects include:
- Basic map: Ocean City & Worcester County aerial imagery spanning 10 years. - Utility Infrastructure: water lines/valves, hydrants, storm water, wastewater, and Gas lines. -Map of Utility Customers (generally more reliable mailing addresses) -FEMA Maps (current and proposed) with other information impacting development (building limits, zoning, various buffers and offsets, spot elevations).
Being assigned an additional responsibility as the address guru for the Town is a small, but important, part of the job that helps employees, residents, realtors, lenders and insurance providers with address issues. Having the addressing, GIS system and E911 (CAD Dispatching software) coordinated is obviously essential for public safety. Addressing questions arise weekly, down from daily occurrences, as we work with the DAT office in Snow Hill to update their address data. These searches involve cross referencing tax records, utility records, alarm billing, historic building permits, Laserfiche scanned documents and State Land Records and Plats. The current GIS program described above is a necessary function for any municipality; yet it is also a description of a limited system of information dissemination. Our GIS program needs to expand its capability and functions to allow for data updating, spatial analysis and field corrections on-the-fly. We see a great potential for cloud based mapping projects. The licenses for the
Page 2 April 23, 2014
ArcGIS Online product will allow for three five administrators/developers. This number will be adequate for the next 2-3 years as well. Some online mapping applications will be available to the public and some will be for internal use only. We need to establish a group of trained GIS Users, at least one person from the Departments of Planning & Community Development, Engineering, Police, Fire, Beach Patrol, and Public Works. This GIS Users Group can broaden the scope of GIS data, perform spatial analysis and prepare information for dissemination. With existing and additional periphery equipment, i.e. Toughbooks, GPS plotter, surveying equipment, etc., real time GIS data can be updated to our existing files. Another initiative that should be undertaken by the Town is to utilize the GIS system to enhance how information is displayed. Simply put, when things happen, they happen somewhere; at a specific location with a uniquely identifying characteristic. A town controlled GIS database allows the Town to create applications for Public Safety, Public Works and even for public information consumption via the web. For instance, a map could be created and placed on the web that shows streets, buildings and bus stops with super imposed real time traffic updates or any other information we wish to display. As opposed to any number of other existing map applications, this idea for a map is immediately recognized as an official town map. The next logical step to improve the Town GIS system is to create a GIS Users Group. With the existing system, software and licenses, the GIS Coordinator can train and establish this group over the next fiscal year. Actually operating the GIS system and receiving the training will identify any further needs we may have to enhance the system by expanding the number of licenses, the type of equipment and the other functions available.

TOWN OF
The White Marlin Capital of the World
TO: The Honorable Mayor, Council President and Members of Council THRU: David L. Recor, ICMA-CM, City Manager FROM: Matthew G. Margotta, AICP, Director of Planning & Community Development RE: Regulating Smoking on the Beach and Boardwalk DATE: 4/22/2014
ISSUE(S): Consideration to regulate smoking on the Beach and Boardwalk SUMMARY: Top priority of the Strategic Plan.
Values-based decision with strong opinions of whether to regulate or not; small chance of changing opinions.
Research of National and Regional communities shows a wide array of methods of enacting, regulating, enforcing and maintaining a smoking ban.
Proposed ordinance is based off of Dewey Beach, DE, ordinance with simple, straight forward language.
Approach to regulating smoking on the Beach and Boardwalk requires specific guidance on key issues.
FISCAL IMPACT: Establishing smoking areas with signage and receptacles at each
street end will have an initial cost estimated from $7,650 to $27,750. Negligible revenue from citations. Grants are possible.
RECOMMENDATION: Decide to regulate smoking on the Beach and Boardwalk area;
provide specific guidance on key issues and direct staff to process an ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES: Decide not to regulate smoking on the Beach and Boardwalk
area. RESPONSIBLE STAFF: Matthew G. Margotta, AICP, Director of PCD

Council Meeting 4/29/2014
DATE: April 22, 2014
TO: David L. Recor, ICMA-CM, City Manager
FROM: Matthew G. Margotta, AICP, Director of Planning & Community Development RE: Regulating Smoking on the Beach and Boardwalk
The recent Strategic Planning discussions held mid-March 2014 identified a Top Priority to decide to regulate smoking on the Beach and Boardwalk. Staff was tasked with developing a comprehensive approach to the subject with a list of decision points in order to substantiate Mayor and City Council’s consideration of enacting such a smoking ban or not. There are ample examples of other communities throughout the country and closer to home where smoking bans have been enacted and where the communities decided not to enact smoking bans. The most common trend in the methods used by communities that decided to enact smoking bans is that there are no common methods; in other words, each community rightfully determined their own path based on local values. Local values are the key to making the decision to enact a smoking ban.
Staff coordinated with the OCPD, OCBP and Public Works to develop an initial approach to enact a smoking ban on the Beach and Boardwalk. The general consensus amongst these departments is that such a smoking ban would be burdensome, perhaps even unnecessary, considering the wide range of currently regulated prohibitions. In particular, enacting a smoking ban prior to this upcoming tourist season would be very burdensome. However, staff will naturally support the decision of the Mayor and City Council to establish the smoking and non-smoking areas based on council’s direction and enforce the program. Since mid-March 2014, staff has not been able to fully vet the list of decision points developed from council’s discussion on the subject requiring a comprehensive approach; specific guidance is needed to properly substantiate enacting a smoking ban on the Beach and Boardwalk. Staff reached out to local community groups to gather their facts, opinions and stances on the subject and this effort had likewise not yet been fully vetted.
Staff conducted research of other communities with smoking bans, nationally and regionally, in order to develop a crosswalk or trend analysis of findings. Frankly, the results are so disparate that only one common thread could be determined; that a community decided to enact a smoking ban. I contend that this is the decision point that the Town of Ocean City finds itself presently.
As stated above, staff was provided a list of issues to consider and gather information based on council’s discussions during the Strategic Planning workshops in mid- March 2014. Staff has made considerable headway on all subjects; yet we’ve not been able to properly complete or vet each subject primarily because these issues are details of how a smoking ban is practiced and the results of our research prove a wide disparate range for implementation. Therefore, should Mayor and City Council decide to enact a smoking ban on the Beach and Boardwalk; consensus on these issues would improve the effectiveness of staff’s efforts to provide recommendations. Not in any order of importance, staff would appreciate guidance on the following issues:
• Smoking ban on the Beach and Boardwalk; just the Beach or just the Boardwalk; smoking in a designated area on the Beach or Boardwalk: The larger the area that smoking is not permitted has a direct impact on Town resources to monitor and enforce any smoking ban.
Page 2 April 23, 2014
• Best Practices, Experiences, Costs, Implementation: Probably the most widely disparate issue. Staff interviewed staff from other communities, such as Police, Public Works, City Managers, Planning Staff, etc. So far this effort has resulted in a general practice of providing smoking areas with receptacles and signage. Further guidance from council will help staff refine best practices to determine the costs of setting up and maintaining the smoking areas, problems with enforcement or litter control, the type of receptacles to use, etc. At this point, staff recommends creating smoking stations at beach entrances along the Boardwalk with adding language on the existing signage.
• Comparative Analysis: Staff researched a number of communities across the nation to determine the kinds of smoking bans that exist; those communities that did not enact a smoking ban were still identified to at least provide some sense of what ‘type’ of community is not currently engaged in a smoking ban. Emphasis was placed on identifying communities geographically close, having boardwalks, and their implementation methods. See Attached: Smoking Ban Communities
• Ordinance or Referendum; Public Involvement: Most communities enacted smoking bans via ordinance and our ordinance procedures require public notification. Council guidance and further refinement of this issue would benefit staff as we develop our recommendations. Staff has reached out to various community groups with an interest in the Beach and Boardwalk, i.e. Boardwalk Committee and Surf Riders. At the time of this report, staff has not received a definitive response from these groups and discussions are ongoing. Staff recommends that the city embark on a rather short campaign to gather public input through various community groups, requests for input from individuals through announcements on our web page(s) and press releases with a specific deadline for submitting input.
Staff highly recommends not establishing any sort of task force or citizens committee. As I stated in the onset of this memo, this is a divisive issue is about community values. It’s clear from reading about and studying the implementation methods used by other communities, we could spend an inordinate amount of time trying to convince each other with an ever lengthening list of supporting documentation for either side of the issue. Fact is, there’s ample supporting documentation for implementing or not implementing a smoking ban. See Attached: Draft Smoking Ban Ordinance
Staff will benefit from further guidance and refinement from council on these points. A comprehensive analysis is underway yet not complete. Focusing staff effort will improve our effectiveness to provide a well-rounded set of recommendations to implement a smoking ban on the Beach and Boardwalk. On the other hand, staff work completed to date has already impacted our time and resources; should the council decide not to pursue a smoking ban at this time; then we can direct our resources to other high priority efforts.
Without any further public involvement, there is not enough time to advertise and enact an ordinance, then implement a smoking ban on the Beach and Boardwalk by Memorial Day weekend 2014; however, within a few weeks thereafter is possible. With further public involvement, which staff certainly recommends takes place, a smoking ban can be implemented during the Summer Season, however during which season staff does not recommend we pursue. At this time, a decision to ban smoking on the Beach and Boardwalk is needed along with further guidance and direction.
ORDINANCE # __
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 30, ARTICLE VIII, ENVIRONMENTAL TOBACCO SMOKE, OF THE CODE OF THE TOWN OF
OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED AND ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF OCEAN CITY THAT CHAPTER 30, ENTITLED ENVIRONEMNTAL TOBACCO SMOKE, OF THE CODE OF THE TOWN OF OCEAN CITY BE AND THE SAME IS HEREBY AMENDED BY ADDING…….
WHEREAS, The Mayor and City Council of the Town of Ocean City have
deemed it desirable to consider whether to prohibit smoking and tobacco use on the beach and boardwalk;
WHEREAS, exposure to secondhand smoke anywhere has negative health
impacts, and exposure to secondhand smoke does occur at significant levels outdoors; WHEREAS, cigarette butts pose a health threat to young children, animals, and
sea life, as evidenced by the following:
In 2004, American poison control centers received nearly 8,000 reports of children poisoned by the ingestion of cigarettes, cigarette butts, and other tobacco products, and
Children who ingest cigarette butts can experience vomiting,
nausea, lethargy, and gagging, and
Animals and sea life ingest cigarette butts causing health issues which can leads strangulation and death, and
Cigarette filters are made from cellulose acetate, a plastic that can
break into smaller pieces, but will never biodegrade or disappear, and
Tobacco leaves contain several alkaloids, including the highly
toxic alkaloid nicotine. Nicotine is a powerful insecticide and among the deadliest of all plant products in its pure form, and
WHEREAS, cigarette butts are a major and persistent source of litter, as evidenced by the following:
It is estimated that over two billion cigarette butts are discarded every day worldwide, and that Americans alone discard more than 175 million pounds of cigarette butts every year, and They contribute to non-point source pollution when carried through storm drains by rainfall and urban runoff to our lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waters, and even our underground sources of drinking water. Non point source pollution has harmful effects on drinking water supplies, recreation, fisheries, and wildlife.
Add Beach and Boardwalk to Section 30-603-Violations, the list of affected areas under the smoking ban in place. In Section 30-604 – Penalties, add that “citations can be issued to violators of the smoking ban at the discretion of the enforcement officer following a verbal or written warning for the violator to cease the use of tobacco products”. The smoking ban in outdoor public areas will not include electronic smoking devices as they do not create litter or smoke. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED AND ORDAINED, by the Mayor and City Council of the Town of Ocean City, Maryland, in session met, as follows:

POLICY AND PROCEDURE MANUAL
SECTION: FINANCE PPM 800-11 SUBJECT: FUND BALANCE
Purpose
Local governments need financial resources available for unanticipated circumstances and events to ensure the continuity of essential services. The amount of these balances depends on volatility in operating revenues and expenses, exposure to natural disasters, reliance on a single revenue source or industry, and timing of cash flows. The Town has evaluated these circumstances to determine fiscal policies for fund balance. Fiscal Policies The Town will maintain unassigned fund balance to pay for needs caused by unforeseen emergencies, to provide for unanticipated expenditures of a nonrecurring nature, or to meet unexpected increases in service costs. This reserve will be maintained at 12-15% 15% of the general fund prior year actual operating budget expenses. The Town will utilize surplus in excess of reserve and cash flow requirements to invest in capital assets and/or to retire outstanding debt, if feasible. The Town will pay for all current expenditures with current revenues. The Town will avoid budgetary procedures that balance current expenditures at the expense of meeting future years’ revenues, or requiring short-term borrowing. The Town will strive to maintain sufficient retained earnings in enterprise funds to provide for working capital needs and system improvements. Date: 1996, Revised 2009, 2012, 2013 , 2014 Page 1 of 1

5. NEW BUSINESS
H. Discussion of FY15 Proposed Budget presented by City Manager
TOWN OF
The White Marlin Capital of the World
TO: The Honorable Mayor, Council President and Members of Council THRU: David L. Recor, ICMA-CM, City Manager FROM: Jennie Knapp, Budget Manager RE: FY 15 Budget reduction options and alternatives DATE: 04/24/14
ISSUE(S): Options and alternatives for reducing FY 15 budget SUMMARY: A list of options and alternatives for further budget reductions
has been provided in ¼ penny increments for the Council’s review. Approval of the entire list of options would equate to a one penny reduction of the FY 15 tax rate, from .4804 to .4704, the constant yield rate. This is also a tax rate reduction from the FY 14 rate of .472.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of all suggested changes would require an additional
$157,280 from fund balance in the General Fund. This would increase the appropriation of unreserved fund balance from $775,000 to $932,280, but would continue to maintain fund balance above the 15% fiscal policy level.
RECOMMENDATION: Review options and alternatives for further discussion of FY 15
budget. ALTERNATIVES: Defer to Mayor and Council RESPONSIBLE STAFF: Jennie Knapp, Budget Manager COORDINATED WITH: David L. Recor, ICMA-CM, City Manager ATTACHMENT(S): Options and alternatives
