The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner,
Mr. Isaacs.
Minutes of the meeting of August 13th, 1962 were approved as
written upon motion of Mr. Johansen, seconded by Mr. Claiborne
and carried.
Mr. Isaacs recognized visitors present and called for any business
from the floor not on the agenda. Mrs. Ruth (Sheppard) Bloom
who owns Lots 38 and part of 36, Block 10 located on 8th Street,
appeared to defend the use of her garage- which has been turned
into an apartment- as living quarters, and stated that she had
never rented it out, but only been used by her children who come
to visit her. She stated that the building was a garage and
storage place for the previous owners, and the City can not find
record of permits for it to be made into an apartment - building,
electrical or plumbing. It was brought out that this makes it
a secondary dwelling on a lot on which the Zoning Ordinance does
not permit. She advised that there was a garage apartment across
the street from her. After further discussion Mr. Lawrence sug-
gested that the matter be turned over to the City Attorney and
the City Manager to investigate and report back at the next meet-
ing. It vas the consensus of opinion that this be done.
A letter was read from Commissioner of Utilities J. Dillon Kennedy
relative to the complaints which we have received on the treatment
of customer's at the electric office serving Atlantic Beach. Con-
sideration of the matter has been referred to Commissioner of
Finance Dallas Thomas and the City Auditor of Jacksonville. Mr
Isaacs appointed Mr. Lawrence to look into this matter for the
City.
A letter was presented from Walter J. Parks, Jr. , Engineer trans-
mitting the as built plans on the 12" transmission water line
known as Engineer's Project #17-62.

A letter was presented from Walter J. Parks, Jr. subjected "Water
Supply Improvements, Engineer 's Project #14-61" calling attention
to his findings and recommendations in a report prepared and sub-
mitted last November relative to providing additional aeration and
ground storage, and additional primary pumping capacity before next
Spring.
A transmittal letter was also presented from the Engineer furnish-
ing basic data on the new 12" well covered by Engineer 's Project
#17-62.
Appointment of a third member of the Board of Assessment Review
will be postponed until a later date.
There were no reports from committees at this time.
Mr. Lawrence advised that he would have a report by the next meet-
ing covering the re-surfacing of certain streets.
Mr. Printon reported that he estimates he can build a stall at
the City Garage for approximately $1, 026.00. The matter was dis-
cussed following which Mr. Johansen moved that he go ahead with
plans to expand the City Garage, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and
carried.
Mr. Printon advised that we have a garbage Packer body not in use
and he would suggest that we sell it and get some money out of it
while it is still in usable condition. It was discussed and it
was the consensus of opinion that the City Manager determine the
best price he can get and bring information back for Commission
approval.
A request was presented from the Kanes owners of Lot 3, Block 25
located at 333 Ocean Blvd. for extension of 6 ' fence and although
it would be non-conforming Mr. Printon thinks the request has
merit. The matter was discussed and some of the Commission was
sympathetic to the request, it was the consensus of opinion that
action on request be delayed until can have further study.
The City Clerk requested approval of Certificates of Convenience
and Necessity effective September 1st, 1962 for one year to the
following:
Beach Yellow Cab Co.- John J. Humphries, Manager

These are renewal certificates. Mr. Lawrence moved that the
certificates be renewed as requested, seconded by Mr. Moore and
carried.
There were no matters brought up by the Commissioners, however
Mr. Lawrence advised that the treatment of the public is very
bad at the City of Jacksonville Light Office here at the Beach
and he thinks it should be investigated. It was at this point
that Mr. Isaacs appointed him to carry on the investigation.
There being no further business the Mayor declared the meeting
adjourned.
