The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner, Mr.
Howell.
The Invocation was given by Commissioner Weldon.
Upon motion of Mr. Longo, seconded by Mr. Rosborough and carried,
the minutes of December 25, 1967 were approved as written.
Upon motion of Mr. Weldon, seconded by Mr. Rosborough and carried,
the minutes of the meeting of December 26, 1967 were approved
as written.
Mayor Howell recognized visitors present and called for any
business from the floor not on the Agenda. There was none.
Mr. George Bull stated he had distributed to the Commissioners
copies of a letter regarding the park area together with a lay-
out of proposed Selva Marina Unit #7 of substantially the way
the area will be developed. He still has had no decision from
the City of Jacksonville on underground electrical lines. Copy
of the proposed letter which he would like the City to write is
attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. There was
discussion as to easements, the layout, and clearing of lots
adjoining park until they are improved. Mr. Bull advised they
will underbrush entire area, but leave trees for purchaser to
decide which ones he wants. It was pointed out that the park
area is being given to the City, also cleaning of lots would
come under our lot cleaning ordinance. Following discussion
Mr. Weldon moved that the letter substantially as written be
placed in form on official stationery of the City of Atlantic
Beach and signed by the Mayor and forwarded to Mr. Bull, seconded
by Mr. Longo and carried.
Mr. Weldon had no further report on Jacksonville Library service.
Mr. Howell advised we have a deadline on starting plans for
enlargement of sewer plant. The theory is that we engage services
of a sanitary engineer to prepare survey to meet the recent laws
on anti-water pollution. Mr. Howell therefore moved that we
hire Mr. Walter Parks, Jr. to prepare the necessary survey in
line with requirements of Florida Air and Water Pollution Control,
and once this is done to move ahead to Federal Government to apply
for grant, and Mr. Parks to assist City in preparing papers and
Minutes 1/8/68 Page #2
making application to Federal Government, and that services be
paid for from Account #2054, Sewer Reserve, seconded by Mr.
Longo. It was brought out in discussion that the fee will be
11% of final amount. It is anticipated cost will run between
$300,000.00 and $400,000.00 which would make his fee between
$4, 500.00 and $6,000.00. Mr. Rosborough advised since Mr.
Parks is familiar with system, as we're going to have to expand
anyway, and since we are running almost to capacity, he thinks
this is good move. Mr. Weldon stated he thinks Mr. Parks is
one of best sanitary engineers in the State of Florida and we
are fortunate to have him in our community. Mr. Howell then
put the question and the motion carried.
Mr. Howell appointed the following Committee to study the
Personnel Ordinance and bring back findings to Commission:
Commissioner Longo, Chairman, the City Manager and
Mayor Howell.
Mr. Howell advised that on lighting for Atlantic Boulevard, the
State is not going to light this highway and we are going to
have to take some measures. Theoretically they are going to
finish the project between now and June, and thinks we should
have a Committee to see how we can get lighting on Atlantic
Boulevard, and also have some discussion with Neptune Beach.
He appointed as a Committee - Commissioner Rosborough, Chairman,
Commissioner Holloway and Acting City Manager Vogel.
Chief Vogel presented Police Department report for December 1967,
the yearly report of that Department for year 1967, and Municipal
Court docket for January 2, 1968. All were received for
information and filing.
Mr. Longo asked Chief Vogel to look into getting some kind of
caution light at North end of City and Chief will get with
County and see what can be worked out.
Mr. Vogel asked for approval to call for bids on sewer and
water lines crossing Mayport Road. Contractors have already
started pre-construction and we will need to proceed with speed.
There is going to be a meeting on this project at their engineer's
office and he expects to get specifications then. He would like
for bids to be received January 22, 1968. There was discussion
following which Mr. Holloway moved approval be given to call for
bids as requested, seconded by Mr. Rosborough and carried.
Mr. Holloway inquired as to the concrete bulkhead dividing traffic
lanes on Intracoastal Bridge and what are plans for widening the
road at East end of the bridge. The sign that notifies motorists
has been knocked down. It was advised that the road between the
bridge and overpass at Mayport Road will be re-worked and widened
and the concrete median will be extended to the overpass.
Minutes 1/8/68 Page #3
Mr. Weldon inquired if anything has been done about unsanitary
and unsafe buildings. Mr. Vogel advised no action yet as has been
very busy, but will start and has had several complaints turned
in.
Five names were presented for placing on Service Plaque:
Heywood Dowling, Jr. , U. S. M. C.
Sgt. Leroy Everett, U. S . A. (Killed in Action)
Fred W. Mills, Jr. U. S. N.
Roger W. Mills, U. S. N.
Thomas Neil Trotta, U. S. A. F.
Appropriate Resolution on Sgt. Everett, who is the nephew of
Robert Stewart one of our employees for over 20 years, will be
prepared and presented at next meeting.
Mr. Vogel advised that as soon as Atlantic Boulevard is completed
he hopes to start campaign for all Atlantic Beach property
owners to clean up and beautify their property.
There being no further business the Mayor declare the meeting
adjourned.
