Mr. Claiborne moved that the minutes of the meeting of June 24, 1963, be approved as written, seconded by Mr. Johansen and carried. The Mayor then recognized visitors and called for any business from the floor not on the agenda. There was none. A letter was read from the Beaches Aquatic Pool advising that they were planning their first invitational swim meet on July 29 and 30, 1963. They would like the City to sponsor five relay events at $20.00 each for a total of $100. 00.

A letter was read from Smith & Gillespie, Engineers, regarding their seawall proposal. A letter was read from the National Municipal League regarding their 1963 All-America City competition. The Neptune Baptist Church had written a letter of appreciation for assistance in their Vacation Bible School parade and the use of the large fire truck. A letter from Texaco, Inc. requesting a variance in height for their sign at the new station was read. It was advised that the Southern Building Code limits sign height to 30 feet and the sign was approved on this basis and there is nothing further we can do on this. Mr. Lawrence moved that Resolution #63-14 be approved appointing Mr. Richard Hamilton for a three year term to the Board of Minutes - 7/8/63. Page 2 Assessment Review, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried. Copy of Resolution #63-14 is attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. A letter from Walter J. Parks was read in full by the Mayor. This letter was in regard to services rendered and a bill in the amount of $1, 246. 53 was enclosed. After a lengthy discussion, during which Mr. Printon advised Mr. Parks had performed ser- vices as requested, Mr. Claiborne moved that this bill be turned over to the finance committee for study and recommenda- tion, seconded by Mr. Johansen and carried. A request for sign permit at 160 Mayport Road was presented. Mr. Printon advised this is a sign for an individual advertis- ing his business and not a leased sign. Mr. Claiborne moved that this permit be granted, seconded by Mr. Moore and carried. Mr . Johansen asked Mayor Isaacs if he had any information to report regarding progress of the seawall committee. Mr. Isaacs advised this was back in the hands of the Governor. Mr. Johansen also wanted to know what had happened to the Civil Service ordinance which Mr . Lawrence was planning to submit to the Commission. Mr. Lawrence advised that the City Attorney was supposed to have it with him tonight; however, he was not present. Mr. Claiborne felt we should, perhaps, set up a special meeting to get this under way. Mr. Johansen then asked regarding the status of delinquent taxes and assessments and was advised by the City Clerk that she had been informed by the City Attorney that he could not conscientiously send out a letter re- garding this unless a roll certifying the taxes were given to him. Mrs. Grage advised that the letter would be sent out under her name advising those with delinquent taxes and assessments that a roll would be certified unless the monies were paid. Mr. Lawrence conferred with and presented a report from the Finance Committee regarding Mr. Walter J. Parks ' bill in the amount of $1, 246. 53. He advised that since Mr. Parks had per- formed the services at the request of the City, the Finance Com- mittee would recommend payment of this bill, but that such policing service is more expensive than the City can afford and such costs should be passed on to the developer in the future. He therefore moved that the bill be paid, seconded by Mr. Claiborne and carried. There being no further business, the Mayor d claredethe meeting adjourned.
