Mr. Howell recognized visitors present and called for any business from the floor. • Mr. W.H. Duguid of the Jacksonville Gas Corporation talked to ttte Commission relative to a Franchise to bring natural gas to Atlantic Beach. Natural gas is due to be in Jacksonville by the summer of 1959, and if they could get the franchises for the Beach Communities at this time they could be included in the original pipeline plans, otherwise he does not know when they would be able to get the gas to the beaches. Mr. Thompson advised that he felt there should be a clause limiting the time As to when the franchise can be used. It was brought out that the franchise as presented would give the company the right to lay lines and sell natural gas but did not call for paying of any franchise tax, only the Utility Tax which the City already levies. Mr. Duguid • advised that if a Franchise Tax was required it would just be passed back to the consumer to pay. He suggested a small means of revenue would be charging for permits and inspections. The ,natter was further discussed and it was decided that the Commission would take under consideration and advise Mr. Duguid. Such a franchise would take a referendum approval by the people. Mr. Waggoner advised that in order to prepare the Plaza for paving by the County, it will be necessary that the City have some grading done which he estimates will cost approximately $1,500.00.. The matter was discussed following which Mr. Roberts presented Resolute tion #5831 authorizing the City Manager to have this work done, and transferring funds to pay for same from the 1958 Budgets and 1111 Minutes 9-22.58, Page #2 moved its adoption° Motion was seconded by Mee.

It was brought out that it would cost a little more on the initial group but in the overall year to year the cost would be approximately the same a s the other plan. It is badly needed in the office to keep our records up to date on property owners, and our present method is very unsatisfactory as to getting correct names and addresses° Following discussion Mr. Marvin presented Resolution # 58-30 au- thorizing Mro Waggoner to go ahead with the new plan and rescinding Resolution #5823, and moved its adoption° ; .
