Lickton Capt. F. Daniels City Manager City Attorney City Engineer Representing Police Chief I { !. The Mayor called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by the Reverend Paul Kinports of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Clearwater. The Mayor announced the continuation of the discussion of February 3rd on the parking meters installed on Clearwater Beach. Mr. Joseph Schultz reported he had found a majority of the thi~ members of the Clearwater Beach Business Group objected to the meters and a majority of the Clearwater Beach Association members polled were also objecting. Mr. Leonard Merrell asked questions about a report on the meter installation dated February 7th prepared by the Manager and the Police Chief which contained recommendations for modifying the parking meter program. Captain W. L. Clark and Mr. James Olson asked that the meters be removed. Mr. Bert Mixon, parking meter engineer representing the Magee-Hale Park-o-Meter Company, discussed the parking meter program. Commissioner Insco proposed since Commissioner Fields had not had a chance to review the parking meter contract that the Commission be furnished with copies of the contract for study along with the Manager's report and make a decision at a later meeting but in the meantime that the Commission authorize immediate re- moval of all meters on Mandalay from Bay Esplanade to Acacia Street and all meters south of Lot 1, City Park Subdivision (the Everingham parking lot) on Gulf View Boulevard. Mr. W. H. RipFard protested if meters were removed from Mandalay starting at Bay Esplanade that persons seeking free parking would park in front of his apartments just outside the meter area. Commissioner Strang reported the peti.tions received February 3rd asking removal of the meters had been checked (by Traffic Division Personnel), that there were 940 single signatures of which 731 persons were not directly af~ected and 209 persons lived or owned property on the metered streets. Commissioner Fields suggested bagging the meters and not charging for them during the ne~t six weeks to help the businessmen and motel owners dbring the remainder of the winter season. Commissioner Insco moved that the Manager's report be received and tabled for study and that it be brought up ~gain within a reasonable time. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. Regarding the bids received for construction of paving, curbs and catch basins in the Industrial Park, discussion of which was deferred last week, Commissioner Strang reported that he, the Manager, the Engineer and two paving contractors (inCluding E. H. Holcomb, Jr., the low bidder) had met to discuss the specifications concerning the shel~ base. He stated the group had agreed the basis of payment for the shell base should be the number of cubic yards installed on the street 12 inches deep, loose measure. Commissioner Strang moved that the contract be awarded to E. H. Holcomb, Jr., in t he amount of $26,570.78 with this stipulation on the basis of payment for shell, with everything else to be under the contract as specified, this being made part of the record which is that with the understanding to which the contractor has agreed that payment for shell base shall be on the basis of number of cubic yards installed on the street twelve inches deep loose measure, and the proper o~f1cials be authorized to execute the contract. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Watkins and carried unanimously. The Manager requested that Item 3, "Bids, Rebuilding Water Tank, East Avenue", be deferred until he received the written recommendation from Briley, Wild & Associates, Consulting Engineers, on the subject. By consent, the item was de- ferred. Concerning the bids for painting the Marina Building, the Manager recom- . mended accepting the low bid of $3,750.00 from John B. Tucker Company, Clearwater. Commissioner Strang moved the Manager's 'recommendation be adopted and the proper officials be authorized to execute a contract with John'B.

The Engineer announced he had scheduled the awarding of bids for repaving and drainage of Watkins Road ~or March 3rd. Cornmissioner Watkins requested the Manager write a letter to the affected property owners notifying them of this. By consent, the Manager was so instructed.

The letter reported it was planned to have a regular interchange at tI. S. 19 and Gulf to Bay rather than the cloverleaf formerly re'1uest9d. The let:.ter also expressed appreciation for the li~hting the City had provided at the intersection of Gulf to Bay and U.S. 19 and asked that in future planning the City establish the same lighting for ~he intersection of Drew Street and ij.S. 19 as a safety factor. Cow~issioner Wat.kins moved the letter be accepted and read into the record and recommend the mat ter be turned over to the City Attorney to decide whether or not we can es~ablish lights out:.side the City' limits.

The Manager replied it was intended to pick it all up from one end of the beach to the otner. Commissioner Strang said he had received a report the cabana on the south end of Clearwater Beach on the property of W. D. Owens rormerly used by the Fort Harrison Hotel guests was a health menace and asked the Engineering De- partment and the Building Inspection Department to check it to see what ~as wrong and do whatever was necessary to correct it. Commissioner Insco suggested that Commissioners Watkins and Fields should be supplied with copies of the architect's drawing of the proposed City Hall as he thought the Commission should plan soon for a new City Hall and a new Police Station. He explained some of che overcrowded conditions at tre prp. sent Police Sta tion. 'l'he M.llyor suggested the Manager might re- commend some plan of financing. Commissioner Watkins thought the Planning Board should be asked if tm pro posed 10 cat ion on C:ourt Street was adequate or whether the Cit..y should use the pro perty on Osceola overlooking t he Bay near the City Auditorium. The Mayor suggested taking it up at a future meeting after getting the facts together on it. The Mayor announced that he would like to cal~ a special meeting at 3:00 P.fvl. on Thursday, February 13th, as that was t.he date of' Boy Scout Government Day.

The Mayor reported the proposed location of a colored beach on a portion of Courtney Campbell Causeway would not work out for adequate facili- ties and the cost involved was excessive. He suggested a study be made of' the old location and that the Conunission discuss it, when the inforrration was available. Commissioner Strang suggested some new aerial photos would help. The Engineer pointed out there was no in~ress or egress to that beach. By consent, the matter was deferred far study.

C. next month. Certainly, it is not necessary for me to waste time and words selling you on the value of the band to Clearwater and this area. Not only are they re- cognized as a great value from the musical standpoint, but also we must look upon them as an outstanding grou~ of young people, well up in all their schol- astic subjects and att itudes for making outstanding c it izens for the f'uture. This trip would not only be of an educational value, but also it would be very helpful in other ways. ( continued) ,. " ..', ., .... . r , . . I."...

For the past several years, the Band Boosters have anticipated this invitation and after financin~ uniforms, instruments, and several o~her necessary expenses, which the school cannot furnish, ~e have managed, through our efforts at the football games and other activities to keep up with all these expenses and put some aw~y earmarked for MAJOR TRIPS. Ho~ever, we find that we need to raise an, additional $2,000 or $3,000. If you and the commission can and will make some kind of contri- bution, you are assured~ of not only a good investment, but also sincere appreciation f'rom the band members and the band boosters. For your inrormation, we have been elected to represent the State of Florida as well as Clearwater. This is a distinct honor in view of the many bands ~rom the state that will attend. We have much to do within a limited time and will be very gr~teful for your prompt consideration and assistance.
