Mr. Rosborough reported on Atlantic Boulevard lighting that he had met with representatives of the City of Jacksonville Electric Department, and Neptune Beach, to coordinate the project. The Committee recommends that we have 53 lights on north side of Atlantic Boulevard to the Canal, which will mean 48 new 400 Watt luminators, and we presently have 5 - these will go to the Canal. On Mayport Road there will be a total of 48 lights - we presently Minutes 3'/10/68 Page #2 poLeAl c°1/. have 23,E and they will have to install 15 new poles. These lights will go to Church Road. The cost will be $6.00 per light per month, which will include current and maintenance. It will be necessary to enter into a 2 year contract to cover, and Committee recommends that we enter into such agreement. Mr. Holloway moved we accept recommendations of the Committee and that it be paid from Account 1011, and that the contract be signed by the Mayor subject to approval of same by the City Attorney, seconded by Mr. Weldon. There was a discussion during which it was brought out that we will have a total of 101 lights, 53 on Atlantic Boulevard and 48 divided between east and west sides of Mayport Road. Also that the City of Jacksonville Engineers advise they can get to work on it in a week. It was brought out in the discussion that our Charter specifically states where our west boundary is and it can be definitely determined.

It was advised we were waiting for construction on these roads to be completed, as they have torn down the ones we had there. There was further discussion as to City limits and our jurisdiction over roads. We do have a reciprocal agreement with the other Beaches and the County on traffic situations and fires. Mr. Longo inquired as to Mosquito Control and when fogging starts. This comes under jurisdiction of the East Duval County Mosquito Control District. Mr. Rosborough advised that there has been some dumped on edge of Mr. Charles T . Tinsley' s yard at 305 Country Club Lane and they would appreciate it being cleaned off as it is killing the grass.
