Mr. Harcourt Bull presented the City with a photograph of Ocean Boulevard under construction approximately 50 years ago and inquired regarding the completion of the construc- tion of this street. Mr. Lawrence advised that he understood that the date for widening the resurfacing Ocean Boulevard would be about October 1st, 1963 . There was no other business from the floor. Mr. Isaacs read in full on second and final reading an Ordinance regulating the truck traffic in the City and declared the meeting open for Public Hearing on said Ordinance. Mr. Howell advised he was not speaking either for or against, but advised that there was a present Ordinance on the books which pertains to this problem and cited the Ordinance, rr , Minutes 4/22/63 Page 2 with its contents, to the Commission. He also advised that he noted the present Ordinance, under consideration, does not have a section covering repeal of any Ordinances in conflict therewith. The matter was discussed at length. Among the visitors taking part in the discussion were Mrs. Doris McTigue, Mrs. Henry Isaacs, and Mr. Henry Bitzer. Mr. Johansen advised that he feels that since the Ordinance was passed on first reading by title only, that we need to give a little more study and thought to the subject and look into any conflicts and, therefore, he moved that the Ordinance be tabled and further study made, seconded by Mr. Moore and having been fully considered, the Mayor put the question and the call vote was: Aye: Claiborne, Johansen, Moore Nay: Lawrence, Isaacs Whereupon the Mayor declared the motion to table the above Ordinance for study as carried. Mr. Printon presented Engineer 's statements in the amount of $605. 58 on Engineer 's Project 2-62 for Alterations to Sewage Lift Station C and $107 .87 on Project 51-62 for Water Distribution System Extension. Mr. Claiborne moved that these bills be turned over to the finance committee for study and recommendation, seconded by Mr. Johansen and carried. Mr. Printon was asked as to his recommendations and he ad- vised that although one bill of $605. 58 appeared a little high, the fees were based on Mr. Parks manner of operation and he would recommend that the bills be paid. A report from the Police Department for the month of March, 1963, was received and filed. A report was received and filed from the Fire Department for the month of March, 1963. Mr. Lawrence, Chairman of the Seawall Committee, requested that the committee be given authority to negotiate with Smith and Gillespie, Engineers, for a detailed study of the engineering work necessary to strengthen and protect the existing seawall. He advised that this firm can get on the project immediately and that the approximate cost would be between $500.00 and $1, 000.00. He believes it is very nec- essary that we have standard plans for the work to be done. Minutes 4/22/63 Page 3 There was a good bit of discussion as to getting the U. S. Engineers or McCormick Company for this study, but the Engineers are not available to make the study immediately and McCormick and Sons were contacted and recommended the firm of Smith and Gillespie. Following extensive discussion Mr. Claiborne moved that we give the Seawall Committee authority to negotiate with Smith and Gillespie on making the seawall study and to report back to the Commission, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. Mr. Printon requested permission to advertise for bids for a 1000 g.p.m. water pump and control panel to replace one 500 g.p.m. pump which would increase our delivering capacity. Our present pump control panel is basically designed for two pumps and he suggests that we have three pumps. The Fire Underwriters felt that the panel was needed and it was also the City Engineer 's recommendation. The matter was discussed, following which Mr. Johansen moved that we author- ize the City Manager to call for bids as requested for a water pump and control panel, bids to be received at 8:00 P.M. on May 13, 1963, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried. A report was received from the Planning Board regarding the request for rezoning the property on Levy Road, just west of Tract 3 to Light Industrial and they concur with this request and recommend that it be rezoned. Mr. Johansen moved that we accept the recommendation of the Planning Board and proceed with drafting an Ordinance to change the zoning on this particular property from Residence D to Light Indus- trial, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried. A request was presented from the International Pipe and Ceramics Corp. for an addition to the building which they have bought on Levy Road. Mr. Printon recommended that the permit be granted whereupon Mr. Johansen moved that the per- mit be granted subject to being checked out by the City Manager, seconded by Mr. Lawrence and carried. Mr. Johansen moved the adoption of Resolution 63-9 covering the death of Peter S. Clarson, a long-time resident and contractor in the City. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lawrence and carried. Copy of Resolution 63-9 is attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. 1 Minutes 4/22/63 Page 4 There being no further business, Mayor-Commissioner Isaacs declared the meeting adjourned.
