CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA
Meeting of November 19 , 1990
Chairman Dezmond Waters called the meeting to order at
7 : 35 pm in the Parks and Recreation modular .
Present were :
Sandra Sheppard Carolyn Woods
Jim Pelkey John Weldon, Jr .
Carl Walker , Coordinator
The minutes of the last meeting of November 5 were re-
viewed and a motion made by Carolyn Woods that they be
accepted, as written. Jim Pelkey seconded the motion
which carried unanimously.
Dezmond Waters announced that it was his understanding
that a new Community Development Director had been ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy left by Tom Bowles who for-
merly held that position . Carl Walker added that a new
Building Clerk was also in place . It was felt by the
Board members that a new Board designee might be chosen
from one of these employees .
The next order of business was a discussion regarding the
complaint which had been voiced at the City Commission
meeting of November 12 by Mary Wilson of 2335 Oceanwalk
Drive , W. on the subject of the Board action which had
taken place resulting in the withholding of the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy of her residence . The Beaches
Leader had printed an article on this matter in their
edition of November 14 , 1990 .
After deliberation, it was the consensus of the Board
that it would be of no benefit to pursue the matter with
Mrs . Wilson nor to aggravate the City Commission members .
John Weldon moved that copies of the minutes outlining
the handling by the Board on the Shields/Wilson property
be given to the Mayor and City Commissioners with a cover
memo . Carl Walker agreed to handle .
It was brought up that the Community Presbyterian Church
at 150 Sherry Drive had inquired about procedure for ap-
proval of removal of dead palm trees on their property.

to confirm their condition. A motion was made by Sandra
Sheppard that Carolyn Woods be appointed as designee for
this purpose and to perform the certification, in writing .
Jim Pelkey seconded the motion. It passed unanimously.
Carl Walker advised that the Parks & Recreation modular
could be used for the regular meetings of the Board to
avoid meeting conflicts at City Hall . The Board felt that
City Hall should be utilized as a meeting place with the
P&R modular as an alternate . Walker also advised that he
would not be fr.esent at the next meeting due to vacation .
Jim Pelkey agreed to be in contact with the Building De-
partment so that he could advise of permit applications
filed for Board review prior to the next meeting of De-
cember 3 . In the event no applications have been filed
and there is no other business for the Board for December
3 , Dezmond Waters will so inform the members that no meet-
ing will take place .
There was no further business and the meeting was adjour-
ned at 8 : 30 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
