The meeting was called to order by the Mayor, Mr. Olsen.
The Invocation was given by Commissioner Goodling.
Mr. Olsen recognized visitors present and called for any business
from the floor not on the agenda. Mr. Prfnton advised Mrs. C.A.
MacDowell, who was present, that they had not been able to get
with Mr. Frye on their sewer hook-up, and was not ready for Com-
mission to act at this time. The matter will be considered for
a decision at a later meeting.
Mr. Olsen next re-opened the Public Hearing on the Ordinance
covering franchise with the Southern Bell Tel. & Tel. Co. and
as no one appeared either for or against, Mr. Olsen declared the
Public Hearing closed. Mr. Lawrence then moved that Ordinance
#40-64-4 be passed on second and final reading, seconded by Mr.
Moore, It was brought out in the discussion that this Ordinance
has been discussed in previous meetings and there have been
conferences and negotiations with representatives of the Southern
Bell Tel. & Tel. Co. and the City Officials over the terms of this
franchise. Mr. Olsen asked for a call vote which was as follows :
Aye : Goodling, Lawrence, Moore, Olsen
Nay: None
Absent : Parks
Whereupon Mr. Olsen declared the motion carried and the Ordinance
passed on 2nd and final reading.
Mr. Olsen presented Resolution # 64-10 establishing Acct.#312
School Crossing Guard for $200.00 in the 1964 Budget. This was
discussed at the previous meeting of the Commission but was held
over to this special meeting for vote, as wanted a full Commission
present, but will go ahead and consider at this time. Mr. Moore
moved the adoption of Resolution # 64-10, seconded by Mr. Lawrence

Whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried and Resolution
#64-10 adopted. A copy of said Resolution #64-10 is attached to
these minutes and made a part thereof.
Mr. Printon presented an application for work to be done on the
building at 615 Atlantic Blvd. and recommended that the permit be
approved. It was brought out that surfboards are just assembled
there not manufactured, as is the case with a bicycle shop or
places where their product is received for assembling. Mr. Lawrence
moved that the permit be approved for repairing the building at
615 Atlantic Blvd. , seconded by Mr. Moore and carried.
Mr. Printon presented a request for a sign permit for 615 Atlantic
Blvd. It was brought out in the discussion that it is the same
type sign as approved for A & A store. Mr. Moore moved that the
permit be granted, seconded by Mr. Goodling and carried.
A letter was presented from Forrest C. Wood, owner of Blocks 30, 31,
and 32 Sec. H requesting that the Zoning Ordinance be changed to
permit the sale of mobile homes on this property on Mayport Rd.
between 4th and 5th Sts. W. It is now Business "A" which does not
permit outside storage of stock supplies or equipment. Mr. McNeil
advised that Mr. Andrew Greig, owner of the "Kon-Tiki" property was
not conducive to changing the business classification of his prop-
erty from what it now is. He would appreciate their considering
this new location and permitting him to remain where he is until
the matter is settled. Mr. Goodling suggested the matter be turned
over to the Advisory Planning Board for recommendation, and Mr.
Lawrence agreed but also thinks Mr. McNeill should be allowed to
remain at the present location temp4arily until the Commission
takes definite action on his request. It was brought out that in
the future the regulations and zoning should be looked into before
a person set up a business. It was consensus that the question be
referred to the Advisory Planning Board for a recommendation from
them as early as possible, and that Mr. McNeil be allowed to oper-
ate temporarily at present location, as reggested.
Mr. Printon advised that Mr. Jos. Whittlesey, Director of the E.
Duval Co. Mosquito Control District has requested a conference re-
lative to a fill area for landfill located in an area between the
Aquatic Pool and Atlantic Blvd.The Aquatic Pool is opposed as it
will affect their operation for a year, but Mr. John Blow the owner
Minutes 5-4-64 Page #3
of the proposed fill site is agreeable to the operation. There
was a discussion and it was agreed that there are several prob-
lems involved that need to be worked out. It was consensus of
opinion that until a formal request is received from the land
owner we cannot take any action.
Mr. Printon presented a list of the outstanding unpaid sewer
assessments as of April 30th. Mr. Lawrence feels it should be
handled through the City Attorney as we are not in the business
to loan or make money by means of interest. It was suggested that
we accept partial payments , but with the understanding that they
are in default on the assessment, but if making payments they
will not be certified to the attorney. Mr. Olsen suggested that
a 6 month schedule be worked up and then if they default on that
that they be certified to the attorney. It was so agreed.
Mr. Lawrence requested that the Commission direct the City Man-
ager to get the plans and specs ready for a shed building at the
park, which is so badly needed he thinks, if we are to carry out
our program for the summer, and that he be directed to advertise
for bids on same. There was considerable discussion, and it was
the consensus of opinion that we call for bids for May 25th meet-
ing, but that the plans and specs be worked up for the Commissions
approval at the May 11th meeting which will give plenty of time
to get the bids in by the 25th. It was also suggested that we not
show any "named" product to be used specifically.
There being no further business, Mr. Goodling moved adjournment,
seconded by Mr. Lawrence and carried.
Whereupon Mayor Olsen declared the -ting adjourned.
