Recognition of Visitors
The chair recognized Mrs. Gregg who inquired about the City' s
present policy of cutting grass on vacant property. She pointed
out that the vacant premises at 880 Sailfish Drive was in a very
bad condition. Mayor Howell instructed Mr. Hilliard to attend
to the matter. Mrs. Gregg also raised the question about a time
limit for cars parked at a garage for repairs. The Mayor replied
that there were no limitations unless such cars were located on
City property or were abandoned. Mrs. Gregg explained that two
vehicles had been parked at 20 Donner Road for six months and were
creating a rat problem. Mayor Howell stated that the matter would
be investigated.

5. Unfinished Business
A. Federal Revenue Sharing; Public Hearing on Appropriation
Mayor Howell, announcing that a Public Hearing on Appropriations f.r
Federal Revenue Sharing was in session, recognized Mr. Vogel to
respond to questions from the floor. The City Manager requested
recommendations concerning expenditures of the $68,193 of annual
payment allotted to the City. Mrs. Gregg suggested general
improvements, such as a swimming pool, and Mr. Nadeau proposed
the monies be allocated to the Police and Fire Departments. A
general discussion ensued with members of the Commission and
others in the audience contributing various suggestions. The
Mayor then declared the public hearing closed.
B. Day Care - 815 Plaza - Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Lovell
The chair recognized Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Lovell, who stated they
had acquired one more home owner's signature, and that two had
refused to sign, the latter located directly across the street
from the proposed center. Mayor Howell reminded the Commission
that a day care center is a business, and in accord with provision•
of the City Code, allowance of such a venture can be approved
by the City Commission only by an Ordinance passed by a four-
fifths affirmative vote of a quorum present at a duly constituted
regular or special meeting. The Mayor suggested the Commission
instruct the City Attorney to prepare an Ordinance for first
reading on 8/29/77. Commission agreed.
Mrs. Hill inquired as to the reason a truck club was allowed
to operate at 410 Sailfish Drive. Chief Carl Stucki injected
that the Police Department was aware of the situation and had
taken action which required the involved individuals to appear in
court several weeks ago. He added that the case was dismissed
since no neighborhood complainants had provided testimony. Mayor
Howell instructed the City Manager to investigate the number of
people living at the above mentioned residence

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Attached hereto are the budget transfers which, in effect, confirm
previous Commission action for appropriations to the various accounts,
or compensate for increases over which we had no control. I would
like for the minutes to reflect that we are transferring $10,772 to
the Parts Account No. 404, and $2,728 to the Public Safety Account No.
3-1000, from the unbudgeted antirecession funds. This will allow the
auditor to show that the antirecession funds were spent within the
time frame of six months which is required by the Federal guidelines.
Respectfully submitted,

COMMITTEE REPORT
August 22, 1977
Honorable William S. Howell, Mayor
& Members of City Commission
Atlantic Beach, Florida
Subject: Report of Special Committee
On Bid Received for
Analytical Balance
At the Meeting on
August 8, 1977
Gentlemen:
At the regular meeting of the City Commission on August 8, 1977 the one (1)
bid received for a new analytical balance for use in the laboratory at the
sewage treatment plant was refered to the undersigned as a special committee
to report back to the Commission at its next regular meeting.
The one (1) bid received was from VWR Scientific/Treck PhotoGraphic in Atlanta,
Georgia who quoted a price of $2,861.80, FOB destination, for an H315 Mettler
Balance which has replaced the Mettler High Capacity H-1000 Balance. Delivery
will be in two (2) to six (6) weeks and installation by the Mettler Service
Department.
Telephone calls to Fisher Scientific Company in Atlanta and Orlando (the only
other known vendor of laboratory equipment in this area) revealed the same
list price ($3,490.00) and a quoted price of $3,100.00 FOB destination, for
the same analytical balance. The price quoted by the vendor on the one (1)
bid received indicated a discount of 18%, and appears to be currently a good
price for such a high speed balance.
We recommend that an award be made to the bidder. The bid and the accompany-
ing documents which were refered to the committee are returned herewith.
Respectfully submitted,
A -n . Jen -n
