The special called meeting of the Atlantic Beach City
Commission was called to order by Mayor-Commissioner,
Mr. Howell .
The first subject was discussion of the bids for the
French Drains to be installed at three locations on the
beach. The Mayor recognized Mr , Parks and he gave an
outline of the bids received and there was much discussion
concerning the relative high bids received , The discussion
centered on the reasons for the variable bids between contractors
and the wide margin between the installation of the three
outfalls. It was brought out that the installation of the
French drains would be vulnerable if a storm occurred prior
to the time the beach renourishment program was commenced.
It was determined it would be a waste of money to award a
contract at this time to the low bidder without some assur-
ance that the renourishment program would be started very
soon after the installation of the French Drains .
Mr. Parks presented preliminary plans for the installation
of gravity sewer lines in Saltair Subdivision Section 3 .
He stated that the development of Howell Park in the area
of the lift station on Palm ;Avenue was the main reason he
advised the Commission to consider this installation prior
to the completion of the park. It was pointed out the best
plan would be to establish a district for the development of
gravity sewer lines, water lines, paving and drainage. Mr.
Parks was authorized by the Commission to proceed with a pre-
liminary estimate to include the complete development so that
a determination could be made of the cost ratio to each
property owner.
There being no further business Ma .'r '.w- './ decl- . d the
meeting be adjourned.
