Mayor Howell recognized- visitors present and called for any business from the floor. Mrs. Geo. Pritchard, ' who with Mr. Pritchard has just returned from a trip abroad, advised that Mayor'Howell had requested her to bring him a girl back from Paris, so she was presenting him with a "Parisienne Dol" which was the best they could do to-wards meeting his request. They. Mayor accepted the gift and thanked them for thinking of him. PIr. Pritchard advised the' Commission that he has perfected a.oement coating in several colors, such as green, blue, yellow, etc . , and has been asked by some of -his neighbors to paint their porches and sidwalks for them. Since the sidewalks belong to the City he wanted their permission, before painting any of them. It was discussed and agreed that if he had the permission of the abutting property owner that it would be agreeable with the City for him to paint-the sidewalks,and if there is no complaint re- gistered on them, then he could go ahead with others.

Mr. Waggoner presented plans for enclosing the loading dock at the bulk gas plant at 1365 Mayport Rd. , same to be for pro- tection against the weather. Mr. Waggoner advised that the plans comply with our Zoning Ordinance and our building restrictions , and also rules and regulations as set up by the state. Following discussion' Mr. Johansen moved that the plans be approved and per- mit issued, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried. Mr. Waggoner next presented plans for an Oak Harbor Sub-division sign which the developers want permit to erest at corner of May- port Road and Main St. It was advised that the bottom of the sign will be 8 feet from the ground and it therefore will not present a traffic hazard. The sign itself will be 6 feet high by 24 feet long. There was a discussion following which Mr. Claiborne moved that permit be issued for the erection of sign in line with plans presented, seconded by Mr. Johansen and carried. Mr. Waggoner advised that•he had gone to Atlanta to look at the garbage truck as directed, but that he did not buy the truck. It was a good job of rebuilding but taking all things into con= sideration, such as age of truck, some - obsolete mechanism, etc. he did not feel that it was a good buy. He asked fon permission to call for bids on a new truck for the next meeting. It was agreed that he call for bids as requested. Mr. Waggoner advised that the landfill project is just about to Lot 37, Saltair belonging to Geo. Cellar. This is one of the lots Mr. Thompson has for condemnation suit. We cannot go much fur ther with the landfill until something is settled on same. Mr. Waggoner talked to Mr. Cellar and he will not consider anything less than $500.00. The matter was discussed and although it might cost the City less to pay the $500.00 than to condemn, it would not be fair to the other lot owners who co+operated with us and accepted the appraised amount of x$250.00. It was agreed that Mr. Thompson go ahead with the condemnation procedure, but in the meantime should get an appraisal from another appraisor as it will be -necessary to have pore than one appraisal when we go into court. It was brought out that Lot 145 , Saltair i$ now part of an estate, as the owner recently died, but that Mr. Tag- goner should get in touch with those handling the estate . Mr. Johansen moved that we get Mr. Richard Hamilton to make apprai- sal of Lots - 37, 47, and 145 , Saltair, seconded by Mayor Howell and carried. Mr. Waggoner advised that the Hercules , Inc . are ready for the playground equipment to be moved from the playground to the new location, but it will be about a month before they can get to it to move, but that City has their permission to move it at any- time. It was brought out that there is no rush, as you won' t want to put any equipment in the new playground until there-is some grass covering that black dirt. Mr. Waggoner is to see about getting grass growing. Minutes 10-23-61, Page #3 Mr. Waggoner asked for permission to Call for Bids for the re- surfacing of portions of certain streets as listed by him. It was discussed and brought out that this was as much re-surfacing as could be done under this year' s budget.
