The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-,Commissioner.
Mr. Howell.
Minutes of the meeting of November 10, 1958 were approved as
written upon motion of sir. Moore. seconded by Dr. Whitehurst.
A letter was read from the Rural Natural Gas Co. of Jacksonville
Beach advising that they were purchasing some land on Mayitort
Road located in Business "B" Zone and would like to confirm the
fact that they can put a storage plant for liquified petroleum
gas (protan) in this zone. Mr. Waggoner advised that Zoning
Ordinance #50 provides that Business "B" use includes wholesale
storage of fuel. It was unanimously agreed that in line with
the Zoning Ordinance this usage would be perm ,ssabie. ��
A copy of a letter to the Chamber of Commerce was read in which
it was stated that it was expected to have the traffic light at
Mayport Rd. and Atlantic Blvd. installed wbthi,n 30 days by the
State Road Dept. This letter was from the Duval Coanty Engineergs
office.
A letter was presented from Harcourt Bull, Jr , advising that the
Saltair Holding Co. had acquired the title to Lots 762. 76440 765
and 766., Saltair in April, '1957 by obtaining tax deeds on same.
There are City taxes due in amount of $320.55 from 1932 thru 1956
and he requested the City to accept this amount and waive the
penalty; as they did not own these lots during these years. They
attached a check in this amount plus the 1957 tax with penalty and
the 1958 tax with discount, the total check being for $352073. The
matter was discussed at length and it was agreed that it would be
to the best interest of the City in this instant to accept the
offer of the Saltair Holding Co. rather than bring suit Mrs.
Moore moved that the offer of Saltair Holding Co. to pay the
taxes in amount as listed above be accepted. This motion was
seconded by Mr. Johansen and carried.
Minutes 11«24.58, Page #2
Mr. Waggoner advised that the City of Jacksonviale will
install the 18 new street lights to which we are entitled
at the locations designated for $1,665.80. He advised that
only $1.,000.00 was set up in the 1958 budget for new lights
and that we could cut out some of those to be installed in
the eastern section of the city, but he felt certain we wanted
to install all those for the Donner section. With these
possible cut-outs it might bring the cost down to $1200.00,
but in either event we would have to transfer some funds.
The matter was discussed and it wase agreed that since we only
have to pay for the installation of the lights that we should
have as many as we are entitled to installed° Therefore Dr.
Whitehurst presented Resolution #58-36 approving the installa-
tion of the 18 new street lights and transferring the necessary
funds, and moved its adoption. The motion was seconded by Mr-,
Moore and carried. Copy of Resolution #58-36 is attached to
these minutes and made a part hereeof.
It was ax1nouncee that we have received $43,300.00 as a partial
payment on the Federal Grant from the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare of the United States Government.
A bill was presented from H.A. Durden covering surveying services
on the sewer project in amount, of 6710.00, Mr. Moore moved
that this bill be paid from the 'ewer Fund, seconded by
Whitehurst and carried.
A bill was presented from H.A. Durden in amount of $550.00
to cover surveying of the Plaza (4300. ) and Levy Rd. ($250. ).
Upon motion of Mr. Moore seconded by Dr. Whitehurst this bill
was approved for payment.
Mr. Waggoner advised that we would like to exchange the manual
operated plate cutting machine for motor operated, key-board
type machine for a difference of $819.42. We have $512, in the
capital expenditure account for office equipment, and would
need to transfer the difference from the Office Supply account.
The matter was discussed and upon the recommendation of the
City Manager and City Clerk, Mr. Moore moved that the new
machine be purchased with the trade .iia,, seconded by Mr. Roberts
and carried.
Mr. Moore presented Resolution #5837 covering transfer of
funds in amount of $550. from Account #1005 to Account #725
to cover H.A. Durden bill. and $310. f i°om Account #205 to

Mro Waggoner reported that on the widening of Beach Ave
from First St. to Atlantic Blvd. , Fred W. Willis the present
owner of Lots 1,2,3,9110,, and 11, Block 33 has advised
that he would sell the City a 20 Ft. strip on Beach Ave.
for $3,990.00, however he would consider taking $3,750.00
but no less, and wanted to know immediately if the City
was interested. The matter was discussed at length in
which it was brought out that the alley between First St.
and Atlantic Blvd. is only plotted as 10 feet, but that the
20 foot strip in question has been used and maintained by
the City for over 20 years9 and that even if we would consider
it the price is prohibit=,ve° Mr. Johansen moved that we
should make it clear that this portion of land between First
Street and Atlantic Blvd. has been under public use as a street
for over 20 years and belongs to the City by prescription.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Roberts and carried.
Mr. Waggoner presented the preliminary plans for the proposed
15 unit trailer park as submitted by C.J. Singleton, owner
to be built on Part of Block 24 and all of Block 83, Sec.H
Atlantic Beach which property is located on the Mayport Rd.
This usage is permitted under the proposed Zoning Ordinance
and will be approved provided he gets the approval of the
State Board of Health, as well as the County, for the water
supply and sewage disposal.

Budget Message and budget study as provided in the charter.

this said Resolution #58-38 to-gether with a notice of

the apportioned cost are received by her.
Mr. Waggoner asked the Commission how much ,he should figure
on having left in the Fund at the end of severing the pro-
posed sections, in order to start work in the Donner sec=
tion,, There was a lengthy discussion during which it was
brought out that the Florida Statutes that the maximum
assessment can be no greater than the cost of an 8" line.
The Engineer is instructed to prepare in duplicate an
estimate of the cost of the proposed project and the
apportionment of the costo It is believed that there will
