The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner, Mr.
Howell.
The Invocation was given by Commissioner Rosbprough.
The minutes of the meeting of November 11, 1968 were approved as
written upon motion of Mr. Holloway, seconded by Mr. Longo and
carried.
Mayor Howell recognized visitors present and called for any busi-
ness from the floor not on the Agenda. There was none.
Mayor Howell then presented for second and final reading Ordinance
#77-68-1 regulating trailer parks and camps and read same in full.
He then declared the meeting in session for Public Hearing on said
Ordinance. Notice of Public Hearing was posted in line with
Charter requirements. As no one spoke either for or against said
Ordinance the Mayor declared the Public Hearing closed. Mr. Longo
then moved that Ordinance #77-68-1 be passed on second and final
reading, seconded by Mr. Rosborough. Mr. Holloway feels Ordinance
leaves much to be desired as regards the trailers themselves as to
their construction and safety. There was a lengthy discussion during
which Mr. Weldon advised he felt Paragraph 8 under Section II is
totally inadequate and does not specify when a trailer becomes a
permanent house. Mr. Howell feels Paragraph 8, Section II, is
irrelevant to balance of Ordinance which deals with regulating of
trailer parks themselves, not the trailers. This was agreed.
Whereupon Mr. Longo made a substitute motion that Ordinance *77-68-1
be passed on second and final reading and that Paragraph 8 of
Section II be eliminated therefrom, seconded by Mr. Rosborough
and carried.
Mr. Holloway asked that an Ordinance be drawn as to requirements
on trailers and mobile homes. Mr. Howell appointed Mr. Holloway
as Chairman of Committee to draw up and he is to choose his
Committee.
A note was read from the Yucca Garden Circle commending the City
for their work toward beautification in eliminating old and un-
sightly structures.

Water Funds were secured as directed as follows :
1-Utility Revenue Bond Fund $29,627 .21

Mr. Longo reported that Mr. Vogel and Chief Stucki worked with
him as Committee on the agreement with City of Neptune Beach for
radio service. He presented the proposed agreement which was
for 3 years at $4,200.00 per year payable $350.00 per month. This
is an increase of $1,200.00 over present agreement, otherwise
the agreement is same as present one. The Committee recommends
acceptance of this agreement effective January 1st, 1969. Mr.
Weldon moved acceptance as recommended, subject to approval of City
Attorney, and to be signed by proper officials, seconded by Mr.
Rosborough and carried.
It was advised that Mr. Vogel' s brother-in-law, Mr. Japour, was
the man killed in the robbery of the Daylight Store in Jacksonville
this past week-end. Mr. Vogel is attending a Rosary for Mr.
Japour tonight.
The proposed budget for 1969 with message was presented in full.
This budget will be presented for passage on first reading at the
December 9th meeting.
The City Manager ' s report for November was presented and discussed.
On the Comminutor the upper part can be repaired for a little less
than $900.00. The lower part is 0. K. at present. We should get
a letter from the Company as to what they propose to do. After
further discussion Mr. Longo moved that the rules be waived and
the City Manager be authorized to spend not over $900.00 to repair
top part of Comminutor, seconded by Mr. Rosborough and carried.
There was a discussion of blind corners in Atlantic Beach and Mr.
Howell appointed Mr. Longo, Chief Stucki and Mr. Vogel as Committee
to look into this matter and make recommendations.

dockets for November 11th and 18th were received for information

streets in Donner Subdivision.

of the City of Jacksonville in which he advised he will ask the

lity in the Beach area a priority item. We also received letters
