The bids were as follows: Stevens-Southern Co. $4,925 -.00 Art Reinertson Construction Co. 4,397.25 It was brought out that the bids are considerably higher than the Engineer's estimate on this project. Mr. Johansen moved that the bids be received for tabulation and turned over to tie City Manager to study-and make recommendation, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried. Mayor Isaacs recognized visitors present and called for business from the floor, not on the agenda . Mr. Don Goodling advised that the Board of Deacons of the Community Presbyterian Church recognizes that there is a traffic problem at the church due to parking in front of' homes , and they have appointed a group to work out a solution, and they would like to work with the city on this problem. They were advised to get in touch with Nr. Waggoner who will work with them on the matter. A letter was read from Hon. Chas . E. Bennett, M.C . relative to the proposed Department of Urban Affairs, asking for an opin- ion on same, also a letter from Home Builders Association ex- pressing opposition to the proposed Urban Affairs Department. It was thought that the Commission should not express a collec- tive opinion, but if they wanted to do so individually- OK. Mr. Claiborne moved that no action be taken On this matter at this time, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. A letter from Alan W. Potter re: Expansion of Water' Supply and Treatment Facilities for the City of Atlantic Beach, Florida under Subject: Letter of February 2, 1962:Copy Attached, was Minutes 2-12-62, Page #2 presented and read. Mr. Moore moved that the letter be accepted in the spirit written and that acknowledgement of same be so incorporated in the minutes, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried. There was no further information as to the annexation which has been requested by Mr. Al James, but the main thing is that Mr. James would like to get Oity water as soon as possible. T1r. Waggoner advised that it will cost $217:30 (estimate) to run the line and furnish metet for this service. It was the consensus of opinion that if Mr. James approves of this cost that Mr. Wag- goner go ahead and provide him with the water service. It was agreed that Mr. James understands that he is to pay out of city rates until such a time as his property is annexed. Mr. Claiborne advised that study was made of. plot presented by Mr. Tom Ellis on the Mayport Road site, and it is recommended that the Zoning of this -site be changed to Business "A" in line with Mr. -Ellist request. The matter was discussed following which Mr. Claiborne moved that the rules be waived and that an Ordinance approving this Zoning change be considered by Title Only on first reading, seconded by Mr. Johansen and carried. Whereupon Mayor Isaacs presented said Ordinance in full in writing and Mr. Lawrence moved that said Ordinance Am€;nding Zoning Ordi- nance by changing the Zoning on said site located on Nast side of Mayport Rd. lying between Atlantic Beach Villa and the Plaza be passed by title only on first reading, seconded by Mr. Johan- sen and - carried. March 12th, 1962 was set as date for Public Hearing. Mr. Waggoner advised that Mayor Isaacs, Director of Public Safety had requested him to get a cost figure on lowering the siren to the next lower cross-brace as it is believed it could possibly be heard better if lowered. Mr. Waggoner advised that it will cost approximately $250.00 to do this . The matter was discussed during which Fire Chief Howell advised that he has discussed the matter with one of the professors at Jacksonville University and he is of the opinion that the siren is too high. However he thinks if it costs that much to lower that it might be better to put in an additional siren say on a 30 foot pole in another loca- tion , and perhaps -get a better siren coverage. It was discussed following which Mr. Claiborne moved that the City Manager and Director of Public Safety get to-gether and look into the matter and see what should be done, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. Mr. Waggoner advised that Mr. Richard Hamilton will appraise the 12 lots in Saltair lying on the Plaza west of the present play- ground area for $150.00. Mr. Claiborne moved that we have Mr: Hamilton make the appraisal at the fee quoted, seconded by Mr. Lawrence and carried. } • Minutes 2-12-62, Page #r3 Mr. Waggoner advised that we have an invoice from the Rivers Trailer and Equipment Co. for the large garbage containers in the amount of x;730.00 and we would like approval to pay this invoice. ' The users of these containers are repaying the City for same. Mr. Johansen moved that this invoice be paid to Rivers Trailer and Equipment Co. , seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. It was suggested that we put some trash containers at the buss ness corner along the area of the drug store and grocery to see if we can help the condition caused by children and adults throw- ing trash on sidewalk and street. The matter was discussed, and it was the consensus of opinion that we put some containers at the corner' and try out, and also clean the sidewalks of the bubble gum, etc. Mr. Waggoner presented a request for a sign to be erected by Mr. Pleasant Gay on Atlantic Blvd. The matter was discussed and the fact that he has not completed work promised to be done on previous permits was brought out. Following discussion Mr. Johansen moved that we hold up issuing the permit for sign until Mr. Gay shows good faith, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. Mr. Waggoner next presented a request from Mr. Gay for a 'permit to build on the lot west of where the laundry is located. Mr. Claiborne moved that the permit be held up.until until we hear from Hr. Gay as to what he is going to do , seconded by Mr. Johansen and carried. Mr. Lawrence said he would like to raise the point as to whether we can legally stop a permit which meets all our requirements on building code and zoning. Hr. Waggoner next requested approval of a permit for 'a sign to be erested at the Van Kleeck Garage on Atlantic Blvd. Mr. Wag- goner advised that work has already started on the sign, but that it had been stopped at his direction. He also advised that it appears to be on the State Right-of-way but they advise that it is on their lot. The matter was discussed following which Mr. Claiborne moved that a permit be issued for a 41X8' sign to be erected by the Van Kleecks on the property, and_ to-be sure the permit so stipulated, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. A permit was next requested for approval for a sign by Newberry TV t0 .be erected on the top of the Bennett building on Seminole Road.

He also advised that he had received 19 coiaplaints,1$ of which have been taken care of and 1 is still not finished. A letter from Mr. Levy requesting permission to make test as to the verticle flow measurements on the existing 12" well was re-. f erred to our Engineer, Mr. Parks and he advised that he is by no means opposed to securing new information and making use of same, but in this instance regards the possible benefits not suf— ficient to warrant the hazards involved. Mr. Waggoner advised that the information received would be well to have , and our cost would be in the purchase of a 12" valve for approximately $200.00, plus pipe and labor. It was suggested that we perhaps could borrow a 12" valve to be used in the test, however if we bought one it could be used in the new project. Mr. Moore ad— vised that he believes he can borrow a 12" valve. It was the consensus of opinion that there is no objection to the test being made if a valve can be secured.
