CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Mr. Hilliard reports that all of the debris removal as a result of the winds
from Hurricane "David" will be removed from the streets by Friday.
A meeting has been established for September 26, 1979 at 2:00 p.m. in the
Council Auditor's office, 11th Floor, City Hall, Jacksonville, in response
to the Resolution adopted by the City of Atlantic Beach (Resolution #79-12) .
This notification is in response to the official Resolution passed by the
City of Jacksonville (Resolution #79-895-248) and entitled "A RESOLUTION
IN RESPONSE TO THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH; ESTABLISHING AN APPROPRIATE
MECHANISM TO RESOLVE ITS CLAIM TO DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH AND THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE".
I have been advised by the Department of Hunan Resources, Manpower Division,
Public Service Employment Program that the City of Atlantic Beach in order
to continue to participate in the aforementioned program must now enter into
a contract with the Manpower Division and include in our Budget the payroll
of PEP employees. This money will be coming to the City of Atlantic Beach
as a revenue item and will apparently not involve any cost on the part of
the City of Atlantic Beach other than that of the administrative requirements
contained. I respectfully request the approval of the City Commission to enter
into such a contract with the Hunan Resources Department so that we might continue
to enjoy that manpower furnished the City under the Public Service Employment
Program.
