Mr. Johansen moved that the minutes of the meeting of October 14, 1963, be approved as written, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. Mr. Johansen next recognized visitors present and called for any business from the floor not on the agenda; however, there was none. Request for refund was presented from the Veterans Administra- tion for an overpayment of $6. 50 on 1963 taxes. Mr. Moore moved that we refund the Veterans Administration the $6. 50, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried. Letter was read from Mrs. Anne Klander requesting permission to utilize the lower portion of her duplex at 385 Plaza as a beauty shop. After a discussion regarding zoning, non • - conforming usages, etc. , Mr. Lawrence moved that we deny the request, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried. A request was presented from the Fletcher Band Parente Association for the City to take an ad in their program. Mr. Lawrence suggested that this be taken up by the new commission but Mr. Johansen felt that if the money comes out of this budget, the matter should be decided by the present group of commissioners. Mr. Claiborne advised he was against giving any more ads. Mr. Moore felt we have set a precedent by past ads, etc. Mr. Lawrence moved that we deny this request. Mr. Johansen said in the past we have shown our interest in civic and school affairs through the City and have given through ads to the only high school re- presenting all the beaches. Mr. Lawrence's motion to deny the request was seconded by Mr. Moore and the vote was: Minutes - 10/28/63 Page 2 Aye: Claiborne, Lawrence, Moore Nay: Johansen Absent: Isaacs whereupon Mr. Johansen declared the motion to deny the re- quest carried. A letter was read from the group sponsoring the Voter Regis- tration Drive thanking the City for its cooperation. Mr. Claiborne said, at this point, that he thought it would be a good idea for the new commission to consider taking steps necessary to combine our registration with that of the county. A letter from Mr. R. W. Fowler regarding drainage was read • and discussed at length. Mr. Printon advised that the City is taking action to grade this area as soon as possible. Mr . Lawrence feels we should not spend tax money for drainage on private property. It was brought out that the drainage work to be done is on City property. Report from the Department of Public Safety for the month of September, 1963 , was read. Mr . Lawrence questioned the depart- ment regarding City vehicle that had been tampered with by having sugar put in the gas tank. Chief Fultz referred him to Mr. Printon who advised that the car was now back in ser- vice. There has been no progress in solving. Resolution #63-21 regarding transfer of appropriations in 1963 Budget was read in full by Mr . Johansen, following which Mr. Claiborne moved its adoption, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. Copy of Resolution #63-21 is attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. Chief Fultz brought up the question of the traffic light at Penman Road and Atlantic Boulevard. This Commission has expressed themselves as not favoring spending money on this light. It is understood that Neptune Beach will discuss this matter at their meeting tonight.
