Mr. Ganzel phoned that he would be late , and requested Mr.
Mason to preside.
Mr. Mason recognized visitors present and called for any
matters they wished to present. Mr. Wisham spoke on behalf
of a number of citizens whp were present , and wanted to know
what had been planned, when and can anything be done on the
drainage. The condition caused by the excess rains is very
bad , ana they feel that it is urgently needed right now, and
important that something very definite be done. The matter
was disgussed, and it was brought out that it is thru the
interest and co-operation of the citizens as evidenced over
the week-end with the work of putting in the culvert on the
Mayport Road, that the Town would be helped. Upon motion of
Mr. Rawls , seconded by Mr. Bremer the Council expressed their
thanks to Mr. Caton Out ler, Jr. , Mr. George Bull, Mr. Ervin
Bowe$y, Mr. Fred Lawrence , and others for the work done on
Sunday on the Mayport Road culvert ; for their donation of
their time, efforts , and in some cases money in getting
this culvert across Mayport Rd.
In discussing the drainage plans , it was brought out that
this installation of this culvert is just a temporary measure ,
as it is not at the level that will be needed in the final
plans. The matter of drainage is going to be pushed as fast as
can, subject to availability of funds. It is hoped that the
present work on the culvert can be completed in the next day
or so. Mr. George Bull brought out that in the permanent
drainage plan we will need a bridge across Mayport Road
rather than culvert . The Town Clerk asWed if any further
action was needed authorizing her to issue the necessary
warrants to pay for this drainage work, and was advised that
the previous action of the Council was all that was needed,
and it would be OK for the warrants to be issued.
Mr. J.T.G. Crawford was present and talked over with the
Council the matter of Town Attorney. He feels that they do
not need the continuous services of an attorney , but just
at meetings in an advisory capacity. The Council advised that
there were many things coming up where we would need an
attorney , and especially at the meetings , but that perhaps
it could be worked out so that the Attorney would only need
to be at the regular meetings , and anything coming up at special
meetings could be held over to regular meeting tine . Mr.
Crawford stated his views on the Seawall Emergency Assessments.
He offered to come to the next three or four meetings with no
obligation on either side , and with no fee for present , as he
would like to be of any assistance he can to the Town and the
Council. Upoh motion of Mr. Rawls , seconded by Mr. Ganzel
this offer of Mr. Crawford' s was a ccepted.
A letter was read from Mh. Lawrence of the Lafayette Realty
Co. , who operate the Copper Kettle , requesting that they
be allowed to pay their Seawall Emergency Assessment in
payments of $75. per month on the 15th of each month,
final payment amounting to 4102.05 , wit,' no interest charge.
Upon motion of Mr. Rawls , seconded by mr. Ganzel the terms
of the letter were accepted.
