the City.
The Del,Oro Park Site Plan will be reviewed. The $80,000
was allocated from the 1971~/7 5 Capital Improvement Program..
Commissioner Rankin requested a Parks & Recreation Study on all
parks and their locations in the City.
A petition will be presented requesting a rehearing to
establish a Sea Wall on the existing sea wall line and to fill
in the area for a park from the excavation -that will have to be
done when the loop construction starts. Discussion followed.
Zoning will go to the new seu wall line and the same zoning
will apply. Anything filled outside the sea wall would be un-
zoned property. The Board of the Abco Corp. will meet December 2
to deed the property to the City in exchange for City's concur-
rence to provide a park and access way to it.

pected by November 22. The total allocation for the State of
Florida is'$lOO,OOO. Various state and federal ap,encies have
funds for related projects for the bicentennial and some grants
have been made.
The City Attorney requested a resolution to file suit aF,ainst
Bullard and Walling, Inc. The City and the developers have agreed
on damages of approximately $25,000, but the City will need to flO
to court to prove that the contractors were at fault. It is a
justiciable controversy and should be decided in court.
Recent correspondence on the water rate controversy reveals
the County will not negotiate with the City and therefore it
will be necessary to start suit.
Commissioner Carwise stated that he will ask for a review of
the City Manager's salary.
There being no further business, the ;neeting was adjourned.
