Recognition of Visitors
The Chair recognized Mrs. Ruth Gregg, Sailfish Drive. She stated that
the traffic was much worse at the corner of Royal Palms Drive turning
onto Atlantic Blvd. and asked what decision had been made on installing
a turn-signal. Mayor Howell explained there was not enough right-of-
way for a turn signal lane, and Mr. Davis commented that the traffic
engineer from DOT had also advised him that the traffic count onto
Atlantic Blvd. was not sufficient at this time to recommend a turn signal.
Mrs. Gregg asked what progress had been made to resolve the dangerous
traffic conditions on Sunday at Jax Liquors. A discussion followed and
Commissioner Mhoon suggested that the Commission consider the possiblity
of closing the bars on Sunday. Chief Stucki stated that Jax Liquors
has hired an officer to handle traffic so their business would not
create any problems. Mayor Howell directed the Chief to monitor the
Sunday traffic at Jax Liquors and report back at the next meeting. Mrs.
Clare McCrary, Sailfish Drive, pointed out that Jacksonville Beach and
possibly Neptune Beach had passed an Ordinance closing the bars on
Sunday and asked if Atlantic Beach would consider the possibility of also
closing the bars on Sunday. Mayor Howell answered by giving his personal
opinion that he did not know of any particular problems in Atlantic Beach
that are not under control. The laws are being strictly enforced, and
as long as the licensed establishments observe the laws and the police
department maintains control, he felt no reason to close them on Sundays,
adding that closing bars one day a week will not solve any problems.
The Mayor also said that the current opening and closing hours were
passed by referendum, but the Commission does have the authority to
override the referendum as to hours. It also has the authority to limit
the number and locations of these establishments through zoning. Several
residents expressed their concern that the overflow of "riff raff"

invading Atlantic Beach would create more problems than the Police
Dept. could control. Mayor Howell stated that should such a proble
develop, they could be assured that the Commission will take the
necessary action.
Mrs. Gregg complained that the 100' tower erected at the M & L
Shopping Center was interfering with the nearby residents' televisi.n
sets, and asked why it was there. The City Manager was instructed
to check into the matter and report back at the next meeting.

audit for the year ended September, 30, 1979 that was compiled by

Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233
We have examined the financial statements of the various funds and
account groups of the City of Atlantic Beach for the year ended September
30, 1979, and have issued our report thereon dated November 30, 1979.
Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted standards
and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such
other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In connection with our examination, we also (1) performed tests of
compliance with the Revenue Sharing and Antirecession Fiscal Assistance
Acts and regulations as required by Sections II.C. 3. and III.C.3. of the
Audit Guide and Standards for Revenue Sharing and Antirecession Fiscal
Assistance Fund Recipients (Guide) issued by the Office of Revenue Sharing,
U.S. Department of the Treasury, and (2) compared the data on Bureau of
.Census Form RS-9 with the audited records of the City of Atlantic Beach
as required by Sections II.C.4. of the "Guide".
Based on these procedures, we noted no instance of noncompliance with
the regulations and no differences (material differences) between the data
on Bureau of Census Form RS-9 and the records of the City of Atlantic Beach
for the year ended September 30, 1979.
