Mayor Howell introduced our special guest at the Commission Table. He was Mike McCuen of Boy Scout Troop #37 of Community Presbyterian Church of Atlantic Beach, who is acting as Mayor for the Day, having been duly elected by his troop to act in this capacity. Chief Stucki then introduced John Roche of the same troop who was duly elected as Chief of Police of Atlantic Beach for the Day. Both of the young men have been with Chief Stucki and other Atlantic Beach officials for most of the afternoon. They were appropriately welcomed by those present and invited to return for a visit at any time. The minutes of the meeting of February 10th, 1969 were approved as written upon motion of Mr. Rosborough, seconded by Mr. Weldon and carried. Mayor Howell recognized visitors present and called for any busi- ness from the floor. There was no business. A report was presented by Mr. Longo advising that the bid of the Big R Chevrolet Company was the lowest and best bid and recommended award be made to them for the dump truck. Mr. Weldon moved the recommendation of the Commission be accepted, seconded by Mr. Rosborough. It was advised it is fully budgeted in this year ' s budget. The Mayor put the question and the motion carried. Approval was requested for purchase of three 1" American meters with couplings on Purchase Order #5362 in the amount of $249.00 from Account #1501. Mr. Rosborough moved approval, seconded by Mr. Weldon and carried. Resolution #69-4 covering burning of Sewer General Obligation Bonds and coupons redeemed during 1968 was presented for passage.

Mr. Longo moved passage, seconded by Mr. Weldon and carried. Copy of Resolution #69-5 is attached hereto and made a part hereof. An Ordinance amending Ordinance #67-58-1 as to paving, was presented in full in writing for passage on first reading by title only. Mr. Weldon moved the rules be waived and the said amending ordi- nance passed on first reading by Title only, seconded by Mr. Rosborough. There was discussion in which it was determined that item C does meet County specifications. There was also a lengthy discussion as to work done in Royal Palms. There was question also as to the last sentence of Item "C" which read "All of the above to be in accord with plans and specifications approved by City Commission" . Mr. Vogel advised he put this in so Commission could specify requirements in line with latest Road Department specifications at time work is done. It was suggested this wording be changed and after word "course" in item "C" the following words be added "as outlined in current Florida State Road Department specifications" , and the last sentence of Item C eliminated. Following discussion Mr. Holloway presented a substitute motion adopting the Ordinance on first reading by title only with Item C changed in line with above suggestions, seconded by Mr. Weldon and carried. March 10, 1969, 8:00 P. M. , was set for Public Hearing. Mr. Howell stated that with Commission' s indulgence he would not at this time appoint five names for Housing Authority. He has been contacted by Mr. Frank Sheetz of the Architectural firm in Atlanta who were Architects for Jacksonville Beach Public Housing Project. They would like to send a representative to meet with the Commission and discuss and go deeper into the whole realm of public housing. They would like to come this Wednesday night, but Mr. Howell advised that is the date the Duval Legislative Delega- tion will be at the Beach and he plans to be at that meeting as he hopes other Commissioners will be too. It will be necessary that the Architectural representative meet at a later date with the Commission. It was agreed by all that we badly need much more information on this Housing matter. Mr. Weldon presented some papers on the subject which he requested the City Clerk to copy and distribute to the Commission. Also Mr. Don Goodling advised he had secured some information while in Washington which he put at Commission' s disposal. It is agreed we are in need of this type housing but we must study and get more information on ways of handling, methods, etc. The matter was continued until we can research further. The Public Works report was received for information and filing. Mr. Weldon asked as to the sidewalk on Sherry Drive and Mr. Vogel advised they are going to start staking out tomorrow. Mr. Howell advised he thinks should make some decision as to assessments as to North-South Streets, that is, East Coast Drive, Ocean Boulevard, • Minutes 2/24/69 Page #3 and Sherry Drive, two are replacing present sidewalks, but Sherry Drive has no sidewalk of any kind. He feels these three main streets are used by everyone and perhaps we should do them as have started with City labor and buying material. However when we come to the East-West Streets, whenever that is, where there are no sidewalks, we will have to make a decision. All were agreed that on the Sherry Drive sidewalk it is needed particularly for the school children and the City at large and should be done by the City. It was also agreed that we prepare a long range plan for both paving and sidewalks and questions be considered at time project is done. The sidewalk will adjoin the front property line whenever put in, and it is hoped we can go all the way from Plaza to Atlantic Boulevard on Sherry Drive this year. The Municipal Court Dockets for February 3rd, 10th and 17th, 1969 were presented for information and filing. The City Manager reported there will be a meeting with the Library Board here at our City Hall at 10: 00 A. M. March 5th, 1969. He has sent the Commissioners a copy of letter from Mr. Harry Brinton, Director of Libraries, Jacksonville. Mr. Vogel advised they are making arrangements for treatment of the Fire Station Building for powder bugs. He also requested permission to call for bids to roof the Public Safety Building so that when above treatment is finished we can get a new roof on building. This was in 1969 Budget. Mr. Weldon moved approval to call for bids on roofing as requested, seconded by Mr. Longo and carried. Mr. Vogel announced that we have an ambulance in service as of 10 A.M. this morning at the Beaches Hospital with two trained personnel from Jacksonville. They have a "hot line" from the Central Station at the City Hall in Jacksonville at the dispatcher ' s office. The 'phone number is EL-5-8833 . Mr. Howell advised that the agreement we had with City of Jacksonville to furnish an ambulance to be stationed at Atlantic Beach Fire Station was merely temporary until they could supply a second attendant. They found they could do that and station the ambulance at the Beaches Hospital. We do not have to supply another man but are respon- sible for collection on calls to citizens in Atlantic Beach. The City Manager requested approval for he and the Acting City Attorney to go to Orlando on March 2nd, 3rd and 4th to meeting of Florida League of Municipalities. It was concensus that they attend this meeting to be paid from City Manager' s account #212 . Mr. Vogel also asked approval to attend the City Manager' s meeting at Daytona Beach on April 27th to 29th, 1969. It was approved and to be paid from City Manager ' s account #212 . • Minutes 2/24/69 Page #4 Chief Stucki advised there are some approximately 150 abandoned automobiles around the City, some of which are real eye sores and health hazards. He would like some instructions on correcting these situations. It was advised this comes under our Ordinance #25-67-6 to abate public nuisance, etc. He and Mr. Vogel will get together on this and take necessary steps. As to the secondary roads the County listed to fix, Saratoga Circle was the only one on our list to repair. Mr. Weldon suggested the City Manager substitute another street for the $2200.00 estimated for Saratoga Circle, when he calls for bids. Mr. Holloway inquired if we are abiding by standards established by the State as to sirens, lights, etc. on police cars, and Chief Stucki advised that we are. Mr. Longo stated he would like to see the City produce or get made an information sticker to be put on telephones, giving police, fire and ambulance service telephone numbers. We do not have any bills going out in envelopes until October to put these in as "stuffers" but Mr. Vogel advised we would work out some- thing. It was agreed it is good idea . Mr. Rosborough asked if Mr. Vogel would be back for Library Board meeting on Wednesday A. M. and Mr. Vogel stated he would. Alsc, he suggested we make sure they know about City of Jacksonville let on Atlantic Boulevard. Mr. Rosborough advised the property at 1421 Seminole Road is in very bad condition: grown up with weeds, old car in garage, and back door open. Mr. Vogel will check into. There being no further business, the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned. iam . owell Mayor-Commissioner Attest: Adele S .
