The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner,
Mr. Howell.
Minutes of the meeting of March 28th, 1960 were approved as
written upon motion of Mr. Moore, seconded by Dr. Whitehurst
and carried.
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. Burgess T/A Frozen Goodies Ice
Cream for a license to sell Ice cream by either truck, motor
scooter or bicycle. The matter was discussed with Mr. Burgess

who was present. 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 . Certified
Proof of Publication of notice of this hearing is attached to these
minutes and made a part thereof. As no one appeared either for or
against said Roll, Dr. Whitehurst presented Resolution #60--6 ap-
proving and adopting the Special Assessment Roll on Sewer Collection
Facilities and moved its adoption, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and
unanimously carried. 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 and Mr. Moore moved that the application be referred
to a committee for consideration and report back at the next meeting,
seconded by Dr. Whitehurst and carried. The Mayor appointed
Commissioners Johansen, Claiborne and Howell as the Committee.
Mr. Waggoner reported that he had received the appraisal from Mr.
Minchew on Lots 37 , 38,47 and 50, Saltair for a total of $1, 100.00
for the 4 lots . The separate valuations were Lots 37 , 38 and 50
at $250.00 each, and Lot 47 at $350.00. 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-

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. It
was advised that the bus company will be glad to co-operate in
any way according to their official who has been previously con-
tacted on other problems at this same corner. It was also sug-
gested that the State Road Department be asked to put "slippery
when wet" sign on Atlantic Blvd. at the curve jusr west of Girvin
Road.
There being no further business, the Mayor declared the meeting
adjourned.
