Comments - Commissioners and Mayor-Commissioner
Each Commissioner expressed their pleasure of serving with Mayor Persons
and wished him well in his future endeavors. Mayor Pro Tem Gulliford
presented a plaque to Mayor Persons from the Florida Municipal Self Insure's
Fund for his dedicated services from February, 1982 to November, 1983
while serving as trustee for the Florida Municipal Self Insurers Fund.
Mayor Persons reminisced on what the Commission serving with him had done
over the past two years, such as: hiring a new comptroller; a new city
attorney, and a fire chief. They started a beach patrol which is a big
success; renovated the Donner Subdivision and upgraded the streets and sewers
in that area; they enacted a zoning and development code for the entire
city; constructed the new public works building at a substantial savings
over the bid price. Our city prevailed in a number of law suits, and brougrt
to an end the double taxation law suit with Jacksonville, and have seen
our relationship with Jacksonville, our neighboring community, grow into
a strong friendship and a good working relationship. New drying beds for
:he sewer plant have been constructed using new technology that makes them
.ouch more efficient,and substantial steps have been taken toward the
