Howell moved that we hold up action on this until the next meeting,
seconded by Mr. Minton and carried.
Mr. Minton stated that the tennis tournament had been most
successful and had brought very good publicity to the City. A
good job was done at the Courts. There was discussion and Mr.
Minton moved that we expand our facilities and appoint a
Committee to work with the Superintendent of Public Works and
report back to Commission with recommendations, seconded by Mr.
Rosborough. Mr. Slaughter expressed appreciation of the tennis
group for the cooperation they received from the City. The Mayor
then put the question and the motion carried. Mayor Howell
appointed Commissioners Minton and Rosborough with Public Works
Superintendent Hilliard and City Manager Vogel as the Committee.
Mr. Longo inquired as to the house on Sherry Drive and Mr. Ball
advised we are having some trouble getting ownership as it
seems to be in process of changing.
Mr. Longo advised he would like to see Atlantic Beach have a flag
and would suggest perhaps having a contest and make a selection
from entries; details could be worked out. Mr. Rosborough agrees
on this and moved that a Committee be appointed to prepare a con-
test for entries in flag design, seconded by Mr. Minton and
carried. Mayor Howell appointed Commissioners Longo and Rosborough
as Committee.
Mr. Longo advised he visited a Communist Country while on his
trip and we should be proud to be an American citizen for the
way we live and freedoms we have. He spoke most sincerely and
earnestly on our privilege of being an American citizen, and
how glad he is to be back home.
Mrs. Hatch inquired as to 11th Street drainage. Mr. Hilliard
advised these low lots on 11th Street are among those being
considered under our Nuisance Ordinance.
Mr. Howell advised that there are two bills coming up before
the Legislature, HB-3621 and SB-612 which means that munici-
palities would not be able to run water and sewer lines outside
their corporate limits, as well as other utilities, but
particularly interested in water and sewer in regards to pollu-
tion, and he would suggest that we direct the City Clerk to
write a letter to the Duval Delegation objecting to passage of
these two bills. There was discussion in which it was brought out
that these bills affect municipalities but not businesses, and
one example of of a municipality supplying such services is
water customers we have in North Atlantic Beach which is in the
City of Jacksonville and they could hardly furnish this service
in the foreseeable future to these residents. Following discussion
Mr. Johansen moved that a letter be written as proposed by the
Mayor, seconded by Mr. Minton and carried.
Mayor Howell advised as to the Committee on drug problem with
Dr. David Cheshire, and after these discussions he asked Dr.
Minutes 5/11/70 Page #4
Cheshire if he would Chair this Committee and he has agreed to
do so. He is therefore appointing Dr. Cheshire as the Chairman
of this Committee and he requested that he be allowed to talk
to several other professional people and some other citizens in
the City prior to the appointment of any additional people on
the Committee. By next City Commission meeting he trusts we
will have additional names to serve on Committee with Dr.
Cheshire. He feels we are on the right road as regards this
drug problem in our City.
There being no further business, Mayor Howell declared t
meeting adjourned.
