Mr. Howell recognized visitors and asked for any business not on the agenda. Mr. Mike Lipsky presented a request to the City Commission of Atlantic Beach for $2,000.00 to be contributed toward the establishment of a half-way house for alcholics for the beaches area. There are currently nine half-way houses in the Jacksonville area but none at the beaches . Mr. Lipsky is making an appeal for each beach to give their proportionate share of the $8, 000.00 that is needed: that is; $2, 000 from Atlantic Beach; $2,000 from Neptune Beach; and $4,000 from Jacksonville Beach. Private citizens have already donated $1,459.00 to date. Th^ half-way house would serve the beach residents and not transients. Mayor Howell asked that Mr. Ball, City Attcrney, give his opinion as to the legality of the donation by the city tc a half-wav house. Mr. Ball said that drunkene' s is a social and welfare problem, not a legal one. Mr. Howell asserted that the program is a commendable one, but would like to know (l where the money is going, and (2) if this monetary commitment would satisfy the requirements of the Myers Act to have a half- way house in the future in our locale. Mr. Speed asked if Mr. Lipsky would be willing to go to the churches of the community with his appe,.1 for the $2,000.00. Mr. Lipsk_• said that he would be willing to do this. Mr. Lipsky is also going to give a copy of the incorporation to Mr. Ball to examine in respect to the Myers Act. There were no other items to be considered not on the agenda. 4 s- I • MINUTES March 27, 1972 Page 2 Under correspondence, a letter was introduced from Mr. J. N.
