The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner, Mr.
Howell .
The Invocation was given by Commissioner Minton.
Upon motion of Mr. Longo, seconded by Mr. Johansen and carried,
the minutes of the meeting of January 26, 1970 were approved
as written.
Mayor Howell recognized visitors present and called
for any business from the floor not on the Agenda. There was
none.
Mr. Robert S . Moore, Jr. of Mobile Living, Incorporated,
appeared relative to their application to connect 200 trailers
at Buccaneer Park, which they have purchased, to our sewer
system. Mr. Howell stated that the request was for 200 spaces
and if they decided to add any additional units there is no
guarantee at this moment that they could hook these units to
our system. Mr. Moore advised that they understood this and
if additional units were added they would have to go through
same procedure as for these. Also Mr. Howell repeated for the
record that they would be charged for all 200 spaces at the
outside City rates whether they were being used or not. There
would also have to be inspections to make sure there is no
leakage in the line. There was discussion during which it was
brought out that this line is a force main not gravity line and
therefore cannot be connected into . They will also have to
post 6 months sewer charge deposit or a bond to cover that much.
Following further discussion Mr. Rosborough moved the Buccaneer
Park be allowed to connect to our sewer line at their expense
as discussed and that a 6 months sewer charge deposit be made
or a bond furnished, seconded by Mr. Minton and carried.
Mrs. Grage asked approval to pay the additional $1, 089. 15 which
is balance due Selva Marina Realty Company on the larger and
deeper lines installed in Selva Marina Units No. 6 and 7, which
work was done in line with City' s authorization. It was agreed
that at the time the Certificate of Indebtedness is prepared
the amount to be deducted will be determined and handled then.
Mr. Rosborough moved the Treasurer be authorized to pay this
difference of $1, 089. 15 and that said amount be transferred from
Account 1502 to Account 1501 to cover this payment, seconded by
Mr. Johansen and carried.

Mr. Longo reported that after due consideration the Committee
would like to put off awarding the resurfacing until the next
meeting. It was agreed to postpone to next meeting in line
with Committee ' s request.
Mayor Howell presented Ordinance #90-70-36 for second and final
reading, and read same in full. Said Ordinance deletes
"Trailer and Mobile Home Parks" from Business "B" section of

declared the Public Hearing closed. Mr. Longo moved passage

tional activities of our youth in the City, seconded by Mr.
Longo and carried. Mayor Howell appointed Commissioners Minton
and Longo as Committee.
A letter from the Little League was presented setting forth
changes and work to be done at the Ball park. Mr. Minton advised
he is not Anti-Little League, but is in favor of all our youth
using the facilities whether they can play ball or not. There
was a discussion in which it was brought out that all their
requests were being done already or could be done except for
the placing of advertising signs on the fence, which is pro-
hibited. It was agreed by all that we want our recreational
facilities to be available to all Atlantic Beach children.

seconded by Mr. Minton and carried.
Resolution #70-5 was presented covering establishing a Petty Cash
account in the amount of $50.00 for use by the City Treasurer
for justifiable refunds on overpaid bills. At present we have
no provision for this except Mrs. Grage sends her personal check.
The Auditor recommended the above account. Mr. Rosborough
moved passage of said Resolution, seconded by Mr. Longo and
carried. Copy of Resolution #70-5 is attached hereto and made
a part hereof.
Mr. Longo again brought up the conditions at Pleasant Acres , and
also the house at 610 Sherry Drive was discussed and the City
Manager was directed to proceed under the City' s Nuisance
Ordinance and have necessary papers ready by next meeting on
these and other places.
The Mayor advised that he would like to set up a meeting for
the City Commission with a Fiscal Agent or Agents with respect
to the coming Sewer Bond issue. The plans are moving along and
we are presenting a bill to the Duval Delegation to increase the
interest rate and he feels the time is now for preliminary talks
with a fiscal agent. It will increase our priority points to
have a fiscal agent. It was agreed that the Mayor proceed along
that line.
