M S Y ] Mayor Howell commented that since the beginning of summer, he had received numerous calls from citizens on lack of parking for access to the beach. Unfortunately, Mayor Howell found that the owners of property at several street ends have placed rocks, posts, etc. on the city's right-of-way to block parking, and he reminded the Commission that when the beach renourishment was in the planning stages, the Cit indicated to the Federal Government the the street ends were open to the public for parking and access to the beach. Mayor Howell stated that the City should go in and clear the right-of-ways and make them available for parking, except for drive-ways. Mr. Davis noted that he and Chief Stucki had been very concerned about the hazard of not being able to get emergency vehicles through the streets. A short discussion followed including citizen complaints about the public throwing trash all over the street ends and the beach, dogs,and surfe. s. The Commission then authorized the City Manager to commence clearing the right-of-ways. Mayor Howell recognized Drs. Kathleen Wall and Wayne Conger who gave a short presentation on the Mental Health Resource Center, located at 6290 Beach Boulevard in Jacksonville. Dr. Wall explained that the center is funded by an eight year Federal Grant program and have seven day counseling available. The center would like to establish an out-patient clinic at the Beaches next year and are asking the three Beaches to consider, in the 1980-81 budget, an appropriation based on a percentage of population for each beach's pro rata share. The total amount requested is $19,980 - Jax Beach, $10,709.28; Neptune Beach, $3,536.46, and Atlantic Beach, $5,734.26. Dr. Wall reported that Jacksonville Beach had viewed the request favorably, providing the other sister cities agreed. She added, that at this time they did need a statement of support from the City of Atlantic Beach and the other cities. Commissioner Van Ness asked if the services provided would be free, and Dr. Wall answered the fees were on a sliding scale basis. Mayor Howell appointed Mr. Davis and Commissioner Minton to represent the City in pursuing the matter, and thanked Drs. Wall and Conger for coming. A citizen complained to the Commission about an incident on the beach a few days ago. A child was hit by a loose running surf board and could have been seriously injured. The owner had no means to control the board, and she asked if the City would adopt some rules for surfe s. Mayor Howell commented that the City had very few complaints about this, but a surfboard leash law could be drafted up for the next meeting. // / Lit4 _�4 (SEAL) Will . S.

This is to report to you that I have a meeting scheduled for 10:30 Monday morning with representatives of the JEA and some of the residents. We will be attempting to assist our residents in an effort to receive a more acceptable level of tree trimming than has occurred in that block between Ahern and First Street. All stations have been completed on the jogging trail and our work crews are now easing off some of the sharp corners in the trail as well as re- barking the entire course. Next week, we will see the erection of all the exercise station signs and directional arrows. Monday morning, I am meeting with Mr. Lee Ross, a local contractor, and we will be laying out the parameters and foundation of the racquetball facilities. Every effort will be made to preserve the tall stand of pines in the anticipated location. A pre-construction conference is scheduled for 9:30 Tuesday morning in the Cox Cable TV office complex.
