Adams appeared on behalf of Teen-Town of the Beaches advising that they were now in full operation with elected of- ficers and that they would appreciate any support-moral, finan- cial or otherwise that could be given them. The Mayor advised them that they had our moral support, but at present due to our budget and charter limitations we could not do anything in a financial way at this time. Mr. John Bell of Atlantic Beach, representing the Fletcher Band Parent' s Association, introduced Mr. N.W. Dellinger, President of the Association who made an appeal for Atlantic Beach assist- ance with a donation of $750. 00 to help send the band to the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D .C. There is one school band from each state invited and Fletcher is to represent Florida. Jacksonville Beach has contributed $2, 000. 00 and Neptune Beach- $600.00. There was discussion and it was advised that there is nothing in our budget from which we could make such a donation, and that neither does our charter permit such expenditures. The Commission advised that they were in sympathy with the cause and situation, but regretted that they have no alternative as they must abide by charter rules. A letter was presented from Mrs. Marie A. Perry asking permission to operate a Day Nursery at Lot 18, Block 1, Royal Palms to be operated from 6 A.M. to 12 midnight, su _table for working mothers ; tThey also had attached a petition signed by adjacent property owners and the Sales Manager for Hercules, Inc. relative to granting of the permit. It was discussed and upon motion of Dr. Whitehurst, seconded by Mr. Claiborne the request was re- ferred to the Zoning Committee for study and recommendation to next meeting, The City Manager advised that Mr. Louis Holloway has built a 5 ' wall about 25 or 30 feet long down the north property line at his new home on Lot 4, Block 54, and the Zoning Ordinance does not permit a fence over 4 feet high on the property line. A fence over 4 feet high must be in accordance with set-back regulations for buildings. Mr. M.R. Bruning who owns the adjoining property entered his objection to the fence very s.trenu3usly. Mr. Holloway, who was present, was advised that he must comply with the Ordi- nance, which he agreed to do. A request was presented from Henry A. Holcomb, Lot 6, Block 11 known as 309 Plaza, asking permission to install a sink unit in the downstairs room in the garage apartment. This would make this an efficiency apartment room which would give 2 units in this building. There is also a duplex on the front of this lot, and the garage apartment was permitted by a former council after a public hearing. It was discussed and upon motion of Mr. Moore seconded by Mr. Claiborne the matter was referred to the Zoning Minutes 2-13-61, Page #3 Board of Adjustment for investigation and consideration. Mr. Waggoner presented a Replat of Royal Palms Unit 2A which makes some corrections in Utility Easements, but in other respects is same as the Plat which was approved on January 9th, 1961. Mr. Moore presented Resolution #61-2 accepting this replat showing the corrections in easements and directing the Mayor and City Clerk to sign same, and moved its adoption, seconded by Dr. Whitehurst and having been duly considered was unanimously car- ried. Copy of Resolution #60-2 is attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. Mr. Waggoner asked direction for calling for bids on Royal Palms Lift Station "F". Dr. Whitehurst moved that we go ahead with this project and that we advertise for Call for Bids on this lift station for February 27th, 1961, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried. Mr. Waggoner asked for permission to get bids on a street sweep- ing contract for the City.

The Cpmmission next went into session for Public Hearing on an Ordinance providing for the keeping and registering of dogs in the City, said Ordinance having been posted in line with charter regulations. The Mayor advised that the Chairman of :this Com- mittee is absent and it was understood that he has some changes to recommend in this Ordinance, and he would suggest that final passage of Ordinance be continued until the next meeting. How- ever if anyone present wished to speak either for or against at this time that they would be heard. As no one appeared either for or against at this time, Dr. Whitehurst moved that the Public Hearing and consideration of this Ordinance for 2nd and final reading be postponed until February 27th, 1961, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried.
