The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner, Mr.
Olsen.
The Invocation was given by Reverend Edwin Albright, pastor of
the Community Presbyterian Church.
Minutes of the meeting of November 25, 1963, were declared
approved as written.
Mayor Olsen recognized visitors present and called for any
business from the floor not on the agenda.
Mr. Harcourt Bull presented the problem of conflicts of plats
of the Donner Subdivision and the fact that we do not know
just where the dedicated streets are in that area of the City.
He advised that he would estimate the cost of getting the
survey work done to straighten out this problem would be
between $2, 000.00 and $3, 000.00. He would recommend that it
be studied in connection with the budget for the ensuing year.
The matter was discussed and it was agreed that this problem
needs attention and the Commission will take it under consideration.
A letter was read from East Duval County Mosquito Control ad-
vising they were making every effort to keep objectionable odors
from the landfill at a minimum.
A letter was read from the South-Eastern Underwriters Association
advising that they will make an inspection visit to the City in
the near future in considering bettering our classification,
namely to a NB 6 class. Mr . Printon advised that they will
be here December 27 on this inspection. There was some dis-
cussion and the letter was received for filing.
A letter was presented from Mr. Joseph Glickstein, Jr. in re-
gard to the condition of the access ramp at Seventh Street and
retaining wall, on behalf of his client, Mr. Preben Johansen.

The matter was discussed at length during which it was brought
out that Mr. Parks, chairman of the Seawall Committee will
make a study and survey of the seawall and when this is re-
ceived, the Commission at that time will make a decision on
matters pertaining to the seawall. Mr. Printon was directed
to answer Mr. Glickstein's letter advising him that the
study and survey is to be made and they will be advised as
to the Commission's decision after receipt of the seawall
report from the committee.
Mr. Lawrence advised he had seen an article in the paper relative
to the County paving certain streets and requested that the
City Manager contact them and determine the streets involved,
due to the fact that we need to make a study of drainage before
any street work is done in some areas. Mr. Printon will con-
tact County Commissioner Bob Harris and get a clarification
on this item.
Mr. Printon brought up the matter of delinquent utilities
bills, which in some instances have gotten to be 90 days past
due. The Ordinance specifies 30 days and he wanted to know
what policy the Commission would like for us to follow. The
matter was discussed and upon motion of Mr. Parks, seconded
by Mr. Moore, the City Manager was directed to see that the
provisions of the Ordinances covering collection of these
bills be carried out and delinquent accounts be notified.
The motion was carried.
There being no further business to be discussed at this time,
Mr. Moore moved that the meeting be adjourned to reconvene
on Monday, December 16, 1963, at 7 :30 P. M. , seconded by Mr.
Parks and carried, whereupon Mayor Olsen declared the
meeting adjourned.
