Commissione~ DeBlake~ said that she had not had suffici- ent 'time to study the recommendations fo~ the funding of so- cial agencies. Considerable discussion ensued on ~epo~ts of expenditures from the various social organiza-tiol1s. Ansist- ant City Manager Shoemaker rccommended an e~ternal audit be required of the organizations. Assistant City Manager Jeff Butler discussed Revenue Sharing, with the Federal Govern- ment to audit the City and the City to audit the agencies. The next itcm discussed briefly was regarding a resolu- tion allocating Matching Funds of $18,266.76, and the City Manager to file a final application with the florida Depart- ment of Community Affairs for a like amount. The next item discussed was that of fee increases for signs, electrical, plumbing, and building permits. Commis- sioner DeBlaker suggested a minimum sign fee with additional fees depending on the size of the signs. The Ci t!, I1anap,er stated Commission had changed the zoning of Lot lJ B, Skyline Groves, but had limited the size of the sign to 32 square feet. He reported the r~ceipt of a letter from Mr. Emil Pratesi, attorney representinp, C. Herzog and Mrs. Beulah Barber for use of 5 X 10 foot sign instead of a IJ X B foot. Mr. Pratesi claimed that a wrong size sip.n had been shipped. ' The Mayor stated that this real estate firm was a national one and that a correct one was available and that the size of the sign and the hours of its operation were limited because of the objections raised by the residents in the area. The Manager next recommended that a resolution be adopted to authorize the Police Chief to file an application for LF..A:A funds for additional communications equipment to implement the Florida County and Municipal Law enforcement communications plan. v He spoke of two request for occupational licenses, one for an antique store at 520 Cleveland St. and the other for a used furniture store at 1337 N. Hiehland Ave. The City Manager reported a petition received from resi- dents of Grovewood subdivision reRardinr, motor cycle noise and recommended that the petition he referred to Pine11as County officials as the area was in the County. A discussion was held regarding the county noise ordinance. The next two items were bids for n twenty chnnne1 lom~ing recorde~ for the Police department nnd bids for a parking lot at the Martin Luther King Recreation Center. The City Attorney recommended reconsideration of Ordinance No. 1517, amendinr; ,the zoning atlas, so that property known as the Alhgrim prope;,'ty, which has been acquired by the Skycrest Baptist Church, cnn be rezoned to ISP. The letter and deed of sale required by t:le Commission had been submitted but then later withdrawn. Now, hOVlever, thene items have been returned to the City. The Ordinance ~'9.S not advertised for the second hearinp; within the required time and therefore the Ordinance must be re- considered if it is to be adopted. The Manap,er next spoke of passinp; a resolution to be sent to Congressional Representatives and Candidates requesting them to support continuation of waste Hater treatment fundinp;. The Hanager reported a r>equest for reconsideration of the annexation and zoning for the AIIEPA tract in Sections 28, 29 and 32, Township ?8, Range 16. The commission at the meeting of September 16th approved the receipt of the application but limited the business al~ea to that specified by the Planninp; Director and not over 20 acres. Mr. William Gilkey, attorney, representinp; AHEPA and the Blackburn Brothers, had ~equested a rehearing to submit the orir;inal request to be considered at public hearing. 2. 10-3-74 . '. .
