business from the floor not on the Agenda.
Mr. Roy Stanfield of 768 Vecuna Road advised he has two Doberman
dogs and has been ordered to dispose of them because another
dog got into his yard and they killed it. Chief Vogel said he and
Officer Craig investigated after receiving complaint from
neighbors and he can truthfully say these dogs are vicious.
Mr. Vogel stated he has searched Florida Statutes and can find
no provision prohibiting keeping vicious animals within City,
and recommended proceed with passing such an Ordinance. Mr.
Stanfield advises he has the dogs as protection for his family
and tries to keep them under control. There was a lengthy
discussion during which Mr. Stanfield stated he understood his
responsibility and liability. Chief Vogel advised he believed
if any child got into the yard it would not come out alive.
The fence is 4 feet high and has a sign on it - but a six year
old child who could not read the sign could climb the fence.
After further discussion Mr. Weldon moved that the City Attorney
be requested to check into this matter and make appropriate
recommendation based on applicable law and in the meantime no
further action, seconded by Mr. Rosborough and carried.
Mr. Howell advised Mr. Stanfield that before any ordinance
was passed there is a Public Hearing.
Mr. George Bull reported on status of Selva Marina Unit #6.

Jacksonville on underground electric lines so is going to try
to get moving and put the electric wiring overhead. He stated
Jax Utilities has advised that a month or 6 weeks after
Christmas will not prejudice their bid. In getting financing
set up, the financing media is concerned about what will be
done with certain land in future development. It is land
that is planned for park and doesn' t expect City to accept
in present condition - but he would like authorization for the
Mayor or City Clerk to write a letter advising the City will
accept as park when area is put in substantially same condition
as other park. There was discussion during which Mr. Bull
advised does not know exact size until area is cleared off
and does not expect City to accept unless developed in con-
formity to park in Unit #2 . Following discussion Mr. Weldon
moved Mr. Bull knows what he wants so suggest that he prepare
proposed letter dated for next meeting and submit for action
at next meeting, seconded by Mr. Longo and carried.
Mr. Weldon has no further report on Jacksonville Library
Service. He broached the question of possible month by month
payments to Library Director and he advised he would take up
with County Attorney - has no final report.
Mr. Longo read report of the Awards Committee on Petroleum
Products bids. Copy of report is attached to these minutes
and made a part thereof. Gulf Oil Company was low and best
bidder and Committee recommended acceptance of their bid on
gasoline, oil and grease, and that McCall Service, Inc. be
awarded kerosene bid. Mr. Rmsborough moved recommendation be
accepted and awards made accordingly, seconded by Mr. Holloway
and carried.
Mr. Howell presented Ordinance #20-67-16 covering Budget for
year 1968 and read same, following which he declared the meeting
in session for Public Hearing on said Ordinance. As no one
appeared either for or against, the Mayor declared the Public
Hearing closed. Mr. Weldon moved that Ordinance #20-67-16
be passed on second and final reading. Mr. Weldon inquired
as to the amount set up in Account #501 for loaders in Sanitary
Department and he and Mr. Vogel resolved this point. Mr.
Weldon inquired as to where money comes from in Account #123
"transfer from unbudqeted reserve", and was advised that it
comes from monies left unexpended in General Fund at end of
year. He inquired if we would have this amount and Mrs. Grage
advised we would have some more than $97, 500.00. The Mayor
then put the question and the motion carried.
Approval was required to call for bids on a police car, a
garbage truck chassis, and a garbage truck body. There was
discussion in which it was determined that two cars would be
for police and one car for City Manager and will be used as
spare by police when needed. It was brought out that bids can

one. Mr. Holloway moved approval of call for bids on all
three items, seconded by Mr. Rosborough, and following discussion
