The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner, Mr.

followed by the pledge to the flag.
The minutes of the meet__;.g of March 13, 1972, were approved as
written upon motion of Mr. Speed, seconded by Mr. Rosborough and
carried.
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.
