Mr. Howell recognized visitors present and called for any business from the floor. Mrs. Robt. McClure presented a letter from the "Dune Dancers " Square Dance Club requesting permission to use the City Hall on the first and third Friday nights of each month from 8 P.M. to 10: 30 P.M. There was a discussion following which Dr. Whitehurst moved that permission be granted as request- ed subject to cancellation should the City Hall be needed for any official function. , seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. It was brought out in the discussion that the reason this was brought to the Commission for approval was that fifty cents per dancer was collected and paid to the caller and it has been the policy not to let the City Hall be used where there was any charges involved. It was determined that this merely defrayed the caller ' s expenses with his equipment. A proposed franchise with the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co. was next discussed. The terms would be for 1% straight and no free phones and would be for a period of 4 years. There was discussion following which Dr. Whitehurst moved that it be referred to a committee for discussion with Southern Bell Tel. & Tel. Co. , seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried. Mr. Howell appointed a committee of Commissioners Whitehurst, Moore and Howell who are to report back to the Commission. A request was received from W.W.

It was brought out that the vehicles would not be permitted on the beach during the time it is roped-off. Following the discussion Dr. Whitehurst moved that Mr. Burgess be sold a license as long as he satisfactorily complies with the sanitary and health laws of the County Health Department, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. The Commission next went into session for Public Hearing on the Assessment Roll for the Sanitary Sewer Improvement .

Copy of said Resolution #60-6 is attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. Mr. Ralph Kingsley requested information as to when they had to tie in to the sewers on Seminole Rd. in Selva Marina. He advised that he does not object to paying the $500.00 to the City but does object to the City acting as a collection agent for a private com- pany, refe"•ring to the Selva Marina Company It was brought out that we have a contract with that company to turn over to them the $500.00 connection fee- less any expense the City may have had in making the connection- as the Selva Marina Company paid for the entire Selva Marina Sewer System at our Engineer ' s specifications and plans to accomodate the north section of the City and gave the system to the City. Mr. Sam Smith who was present advised that he was willing to pay the $500. 00 but would like to wait until he needed because of septic tank trouble, to hook on to the system. It was advised that the State law requires that when a sewer system is available that it must be connected to. There was a great deal of discussion. Mr. George B. Christian presented a request for permission to operate a cab service within the City using two or more cabs as needed.

There was a discussion in which it was stated that we havesnot as yet decided to have a park or playground at this location. However it was also though that it would be well to see if these lots could be either gotten by gift or purchase before any further plans were considered. Dr. Whitehurst moved that the City Manager be instructed to proceed with contacting the owners of these lots and see what can be worked out in the way of securing these lots either as a gift or at low- Minutes 4-11-60, Page #3 est sale price, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. Mr. Waggoner advised that the County Commission is to appoint some of our police officers are deputy dog catchers. Mr. Waggoner advised that we are going to have the City Hall re- roofed and would like suggestions as to color of roofing. It was decided that white would be preferable. Mr. Waggoner was directed to make a list of streets to be re-surfaced and submit for bids. Dr. Whitehurst advised that he feels something should be done about the traffic situation at Atlantic Blvd. and Mayport Rd. as regards the hazard caused by the busses stopping at a bad angle at the first telephone post.He feels they should move on to the second post before stopping and clearing one traffic lane.
