Resolution #71-6 levying and imposing special conditions for
the removal , suppression or abatement of dangerous , unsafe
dilapidated , or unsanitary conditions on Lots 802 through
809 Saltair , was presented and read . Mr . Longo moved , seconded
by Mr . Minton , the passage of the Resolution , and motion
carried . Copy of Resolution #71-6 is attached hereto and made
a part hereof .
Mr. Longo complimented the Police Department on the excellent
manner in which they handled the excessive traffic over this
past weekend . It was stated that the excessive traffic , etc .
stemmed from surfers heading out to Seminole Beach area, and
there was excessive noise and speed all over the weekend .
Mr . Johansen noted we have used over one-half of our gasoline
account in the budget in three months . It was advised that
we have an extra garbage truck, a new police car added , and
our trips are to South Jacksonville Beach for landfill , there-
fore more gasoline is being used .
Mayor Howell stated with regard to the traffic on weekends ,
which was getting extremely heavy, there was a problem with
trying to completely cover the citi with just two cars . He
proposed a_ resolution to transfer $ 1 ,000 from Account 9-1012
Park Improvement to Police 301 Personnel . He had discussed
this with Chief Stucki and he had been assured by the Chief
that he could call in off duty police over the weekends and
pay them over weekends and there would be three cars from 8 a.m.
to midnight on Saturdays and Sundays over the summer months .
It was moved by Mr . Preben Johansen moved , seconded by Mr .
Rosborough , the passage of Resolution 71-7 transferring $1 , 000
from Account 9-1012 Park Improvements to Police 301 Personnel ,
to cover the hiring of off duty police on weekends , and the
motion carried . Copy of Resolution 71-7 is attached hereto ,
and made a part hereof .
Mayor Howell stated that for several years it had been the
policy of the City , by resolution , that all checks would be
signed by the City Treasurer or Assistant City Treasurer and
the Mayor or Mayor Pro-Tem. Mayor Howell felt that this was
time consuming when he or the Mayor Pro-Tem had to be tracked
down to sign a check to pay a city bill . He proposed a resolu-
tion be drawn up which would state in Section 5 that funds
would be subject to withdrawal by the signature of the City
Treasurer or in the absence of the City Treasurer , by the
Assistant City Treasurer , and to do away with second signatures .
It was moved by Mr . Longo , seconded by Mr . Minton , that Reso-
lution #71-S to cover , be drawn up and approved , motion carried .
Copy of Resolution #71-9 is attached hereto and made a part
hereof .

Minutes , April 12 , 1971 - Page 4
Mayor Howell brought up the subject of 13 year olds being
allowed to vote and stated that the law passed excluded muni-
cipalities and that this was a decision to be made by the City
of Atlantic Beach themselves as to whether or not ' _
they want the 18 year olds to be granted voting privileges .
He had talked with Senator Arnold who stated that even though
all bills for local legislation had to be presented by now,
the passage of the ruling in Washington was made after the
expiration date of submitting bills for legislation to the
Legislature , he felt confident that if the City of Atlantic
Beach wanted a bill presented to change its charter to allow
13 year olds to vote , by a referendum vote , he felt it would
be accepted and acted upon by the legislature when it con-
vened . It was moved by Mr. Rosborough , seconded by Mr . Minton,
and passed , that Mr . Ball prepare the proper charter change
which was needed to present for the legislation , do the
necessary publication notices , and anything else required , for
them to put the question on a ballot for the people to vote
on as to whether or not they want a change in the charter to
allow 13 year olds to vote .
