A request was presented from F. Reuben Bennett for rezoning of Lots 580, 587 through 591, Saltair, from Residence B to Residence C to permit building of an apartment complex, for which temporary plans were also presented. A part of the triangular plot on which the complex would be erected i$ already Residence C. Mr. Goodling moved that the request be referred to the Planning Board for report and recommendation at next meeting, seconded by Mr. Parks and carried. A request was received from Mr. Calvin England, 1710 Beach Avenue, North Atlantic Beach, to tap onto the line authorized to go to Mr. Herschel Shepard, Jr. Mr. Craig advised that the line passes Mr. England' s house and Mr. Shepard would have no objection to tapping onto the line for Mr. England, as he claims there is ample water and pressure. Mr. Craig feels it is practical to tap on as this will make 14 on line where on some Donner lines we have 18. There has only been one complainant and he has moved. The matter was discussed at length especially Mr. Holloway 's question that if we provide service outside City limits and this service is unsatisfactory, regardless of what they say now, do they have recourse if supply is inadequate? Mr . Thompson advised don't have any unless they contract for it, but thinks then we are going to have to do one of two things - either make adequate or get out. Mr. Howell stated that since we are running line right by his house we might as well let him have service but ought to take stand for future applications. Mr. Parks advised he is inclined to agree. Mr. Weldon moved approval of application with the understanding that no further taps be allowed on this line until enlarged, seconded by Mr. Parks and carried. Mr. Holloway then moved that no future public service be provided to any areas outside the City limits unless meet standards that are provided inside City, and when and if can provide service that we can maintain without any problems, and that we proceed no further until study is made for extension and meet minimum requirements of State Board of Health and meet requirements necessary for Public Health, seconded by Mr. Weldon and carried. An application for permit for two signs for 31-D Royal Palms Drive was presented. On studying the plans they do not indicate conduit to be used nor whether the backs will be covered to prevent glare since they are electrical signs. There was discussion following which Mr. Goodling moved that the applica- tion be rejected as the plans are incomplete, seconded by Mr. Parks. Mr. Goodling stated do not show electrical drawings and Minutes - 6-27-66 Page #3 and whether supports are galvanized or not. Mr. Craig advised that in re-doing the plans they had left off some things that were on the original drawings. Mayor Howell put the question and the motion carried. Mr. Holloway stated the Jack Russell Memorial Park dedication had been tentatively set for July 1st but since the Little League plans have been cancelled for that day we will set a new time and advise at next meeting. A report was submitted by Mr. John Albright, Recreational Director, giving a run-down on program for June. The directors have worked out a schedule so that one of them is on duty seven days a week - appear to make very good team with remarkable attendance each day. It was received for information and filing. Reports for April and May from the Jacksonville Humane Society were received for information and filing. A letter was read re - NeighbQrbood Youth Corps. This is only thing we have heard since we made application for 10 workers in February, and it does not give any information. Tax Assessor Minchew's letter to Mrs. Grage, City Treasurer, delivering the 1966 Preliminary Tax Roll in duplicate was read. He also enclosed his invoice in amount of $2400.00 to be paid 1/2 now and 1/2 when roll is finally completed at conclusion of hearings by Board of Assessment Review. The Tax Roll will be open for inspection the month of July. Resolution #66-10 reappointing Mr. Richard Hamilton to the Board of Assessment Review for period of 3 years was presented and read by Mayor Howell. The other members of the Board are Mr. Walter Freeman (1 year) and Mr. McFadden Newell (2 years) . Mr. Goodling moved the adoption of said Resolution, seconded by Mr. Holloway and carried. Copy of this Resolution #66-10 is attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. Mayor Howell then presented and read Resolution #66-11 appoint- ing the Board of Plumbing Examiners for year July 1, 1966 to July 1, 1967. They are E. G. Roche, Master Plumber, Carl Roumillat, Journeyman, and A. J. Craig, City Manager. Mr. Parks moved adoption of said Resolution, seconded by Mr. Weldon and carried. Copy of Resolution #66-11 is attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. Chief Vogel presented Fire Department report for May 1966 and copies of Municipal Court dockets for June 20th and 27th. He Minutes 6-27-66 Page #4 advised he had attended a meeting of Jacksonville-Duval County Safety Council who have initiated "Crash" safety program on which they are getting wide publicity. They are requesting the cooperation and support of citizens, news media, and all interested groups. Chief Vogel stated it would help a great deal if the Commission gave endorsement of the safety program and the press so note. The Pablo Pilot Club sponsored a safe driving class and would like to organize another one. Mr . Craig advised that Mr. E. W. Brockenbrough, Jr. , one of the applicants for the City Manager job, has been hired by the City of Green Cove Springs as City Manager. In answer to Mr. Craig ' s congratulatory note, he asked to be remembered to the Commission. Mr. Craig reported that Frank Lee, Captain of our Life Guards, has received an appointment with the U. S. Government which will require his terminating his duties before July 11th. The Corps will provide us with qualified replacement subject to our approval. Mr. Craig reported that he had contacted the State Road Department Area Maintenance Engineer relative to lights at new bridge at Intracoastal Canal and was advised that when this bridge was designed it was considered to be in a rural area and was not provided with lighting conduits and that cost of lighting the bridge would be considerable. Mr. Holloway advised do not particularly want the whole bridge lighted - just the approaches would help. The engineer agreed that it was most difficult especially driving eastward and expect it will be greatly im- proved when balance of the road is improved. Mr. Craig reported that he attended a meeting of the Planning Board and there was unanimous agreement on certain modifications which they will recommend in the Sign Ordinance. Mr. Weldon requested that if modifications are received that copies be mailed to the Commissioners before next meeting. Mr. Goodling advised that he has contacted Mr. Arthur Sollee of the Expressway Authority for a meeting. It appears that Wednesday of this week will be best day. Mr. Goodling inquired as to a semi-annual financial report this year, as was prepared last year. Mr. Howell advised he will appoint a Committee at next meeting. Mr. Parks thinks, if the Commissioners think well of it, it would be appropriate at this time for the Commission to endorse the Safety Program that is being initiated by the Jacksonville-Duval County Safety Council as reported on by Chief Vogel and he does Minutes 6-27-66 Page #5 so move that the Commission go on record as endorsing the program to cut down on accidents in the County, seconded by Mr. Weldon and carried. Mr. Parks inquired as to status of water meter renewal and replacement program,. Mr. Hilliard, Public Works Superintendent, advised we have replaced about 140 and have some 30 more to go - up to this reading period. There will be more as the meters are read this time. Mr. Parks brought to Commission for consideration the fact that the Commission has imposed on"Judge " Craig for considerable length of time, as he took on City Manager position on temporary basis in October, 1964 - it has gotten beyond temporary - and we have been grateful for everything he has done and his patience. The Commission has interviewed numerous applicants for the position - thinks the Commission is familiar with several - so he would like to move that favorable consideration be given to Murray H. Bennett for City Manager to become effective July 5th, 1966, at a salary of $8, 500.00 per annum, seconded by Mr. Goodling. Mr. Howell inquired of the City Attorney if it was in order to accept motion to fill a vacancy that does not exist as there has been no official resignation of City Manager as of July 5th. Mr. Thompson advised Mr. Craig had said if replace- ment was not found he would have to resign. Mr. Craig quoted the minutes of last meeting, then stated he had advised Mr. Parks of a possible terminal date which was not July 5th, but he was withdrawing all he had stated to Mr. Parks this morning aid if they wished Mr. Bennett to come as of July 5th that was all right with him. Mr. Parks stated it was not the intent or purpose to cut Mr. Craig off but know he has been anxious, to be relieved - would like for him to stay on for a few dc.ys. Mr. Craig stated that this he will not do. Mr. Weldon called for question, however, Mr. Frank Kerber asked to speak, so Mr. Weldon withdrew request for question. Mr. Kerber inquired if the proposed applicant was qualified - has he had previous experience. Mr. Parks stated that he is a professional man registered engineer in New York and Florida - very successful businessman - he issemi-retired - he has developed and operated business firm under name of Chemical Linings, Inc. which catered to paper mills, etc. It has been feeling individually, and that is what motivated nomination on my part, that the City of Atlantic Beach has within its confines and Atlantic Beach is not exclusive in this respect - same thing easily said for Neptune or Jacksonville Beach - men who are semi-retired and yet who have a vast reservoir of experience to draw on from successful business background and who seek some activity and they are in position in his opinion not only to be of great help to Atlantic Beach but to Neptune Beach, Minutes 6-27-66 Page #6 Jacksonville Beach and other municipalities wherein they may reside who might seek to put their capabilities to use - that is the thought behind his motion. Mr. Goodling stated motion did not involve Judge terminating - this would be separate matter - motion was for appointment effective July 5. Mr. Howell stated perhaps first thing should be resignation effective July 5. Mr. Craig advised would like to point out that in order to have Mr. Bennett assume office of City Manager it is necessary that there shall be a vacancy for him to occupy - that vacancy will exist on 4th if motion carried. Mayor Howell put the question and the roll cah vote was as follows: Aye: Goodling, Parks, Weldon Nays Holloway, Howell Mrs. Grage advised that Mr. Craig is due some vacation time and would like approval to include in his final pay check. Mr. Weldon moved that Mrs. Grage include vacation time in check as requested, seconded by Mr. Parks and carried. Mr. Holloway stated he understood we would have new garbage truck shortly and Mr . Hilliard advised is expecting call tomorrow that it is ready. Mr. Weldon called attention to tall grass in vicinity of fire station, also the large pile of dirt at intersection of Atlantic Blvd. and Seminole Road that has been there for weeks - could we at least smooth out. Mr. Hilliard stated it was given to us and we plan to spread out and plant grass there. Mr. Weldon moved that the Commission go on record as expressing grateful appreciation to "Judge" Craig for services the past 20 or more months and commend him for services rendered the City of Atlantic Beach and the Commission, seconded by Mr. Parks and carried. Mr. Craig expressed his appreciation for the above action and advised that he does not feel he has been mistreated at anytime - but has tried to do work to best of his ability and very earnestly hopes that his successor will prove to be a better man than he was. He assured that in the interim he would not abandon work. Minutes 6-27-66 Page #7 Mr. Howell reported on a meeting relative to ambulances and stated not anywhere near solution. They are investigating three different operations as answers to the problem. There will be another meeting July 14th on the matter. There being no further business the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned. . ,or • , l� 40e William S. Howell Attest: Mayor-Commissioner / r// Adele S.
