CITY OF Altai C Bemis • Timidia 716 OCEAN BOULEVARD—DRAWER 25 ATLANTIC BEACH. FLORIDA 32233 August 13, 1979 CITY MANAGER'S REPORT Mr. Phil Robinson, who is present in the audience tonight, has secured a set of proposed drawings of plantings within the medians of Atlantic Boulevard from Third Street west to the overpass at Mayport Road. In order to proceed further, Mr. Robinson needs an executed resolution from the City of Atlantic Beach. Neptune Beach has duly passed the same type of resolution (see copy attached). It is that time of the year when a public hearing must be established for a proposed use hearing for the expenditure of Revenue Sharing Funds enuring to the benefit of Atlantic Beach. I respectfully request per- mission to advertise for such a proposed use hearing. Mr. Hilliard of the Public Works Department has informed me that one of the City's Loadmaster garbage trucks is down because of an ejection cylinder. The ejection cylinder has been checked out and found to be beyond economical repair. This item of equipment can only be purchased through Waste Equipment, Inc. , the local franchisee for the Loadmaster garbage truck. I have determined that this item can only be purchased from this source. I respectfully request permission to purchase such an ejection cylinder on an emergency basis without utilizing the bid procedure since the City can only be accommodated by this sole source. Additionally, the budget of the Public Works Department did not contemplate this type of expenditure. I am also requesting, as an additional item on the agenda, a transfer of funds to purchase said cylinder (see copies of correspondence attached). Res tfully s mit ed C / i / ,\ Bill .
