Mr. Brotchie reported on Street Paving and advised that he has
all figures ready on paving of First Street between East Coast
Drive and Sherry Drive and that it will cost approximately $1.34
per property front foot. The question of paving 11th, 12th, and
15th Streets between Ocean Blvd. and Beach Ave. , and Mr. Brotchie
advised that if these could be done at the same time as 1st St.
it would save some costs of advertising, etc. and could be done
for $1.00 per property foot. The lower price being due to these
streets already being graded and stabalized. Mr. Brotchie is to
contact the property owners on these streets and as soon as has
information ready the Council will hold an adjourned meeting.
A letter was read from the Ribault Garden Club asking co-operation
of Atlantic Beach officials in making the beach areas a Bird
Sanctuary. They also enclosed a suggested Ordinance, as it will
take legal action in order for it to have any authority. The
matter was discussed and referred to the Laws and Rules Committee.
The matter of publishing the "Invitation for Bids" on the main
waterworks project was next discussed. Mr. Thompson advised that
it should be given the broadest coverage possible in order to get
as many interested bidders as we can on the project. There was
discussion and upon motion of Mr. Thames , seconded by Mr. Carr
the Town Clerk was directed to run this legal notice twice for
2 consecutive undays in the Florida Times Union. Motion carried.
Mr. Minchew advised that since we now have a fire truck that some-
one should be responsible for handling it. Mr. Thames moved that
Eddie Bullock be appointed Acting Fire Marshall. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Feather and carried.
Mr. Brotchie reported on other work being done , and raised the
question as to whether we could get Legislation that would permit
the County to spend money on streets within the Town Limits . There
was a discussion and it was decided it would take more time than
we now have as the Legislature is already in session.
Tire Town Clerk was directed to contact our auditors, Tyson & Meek,
to set up books covering waterworks to conform to Ordinance #172. .
Certified proof of publication of the legal notice covering
"Invitation to Bid" on the Emergency Waterworks Project is
attached hereto and made a part of these minutes.
