The Acting Mayo~, W. E. Strang, Jr., called the meeting to order, The in-
vocation was given bT the Reverend Harry Russell of Belmont Park Methodist Church,
Clearwater. By consent, it was decided to defer approval of the minutes of July
28, 1958, as both MaTor Homer and Commissioner Insco were absent.
A Public Heari~ was called on the construction of an 8 inch sanitary sewer,
lift station and rorce main for Lots 5 to 9, Block E, Lots 8-14, Block D, Highland
Pines Subdivision. The City Engineer explained that the project was in the area
of the Boswell ShoppLng Center and that a cheek for $4,270.00 ~rom Mr. G. W. Boswell
for the estimated coat was in escrow at this time. The City Attorney asked the
Engineer if the adve~tisement should not have read Pine Ridge Subdivision instead
of Highland Pines Subdivision. Upon receiving an affirmative reply, the Attorney
advised re-advertisi~ and rescheduling the pUblic hearing to make it completely
legal. Commissioner Watkins moved that the project be re-advertised for a Public
Hearing to be held on August 18, 1958. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Fields and carried unanimously.
The Manager presented two bids received to purchase an accounting machine
for the Finance Department and recommended the National Cash Register machine at
$5,845.00 over the Burroughs at $5,842.50 as the Finance Department already has
one National machine and another would have the advantage of standardization plus
the fact that their automatic dollar sign protection is more desirable. He pointed
out that there was only a dirrerence of $2.50 in the bids. Commissioner Watkins
moved on the recommendation or the Acting City Manager, Finance Director, Controller
and Assistant Purchasing Agent that the bid of the National Cash Register Company
for $5,845.00 be approved as being the best bid ror the accounting machine for the
Finance Department. The motion was seconded by Commdssioner Fields and carried
unanimously.
In regard to the bids for the storm and sanitary sewers in portions or Hibiscus
Gardens and Brookwood Terrace, the Manager recommended accepting the low bid of
$58,092.53 submitted by Ray Birkbeck of Dunedin, and announced that this was to be
an assessment job. Commissioner \"atkins moved that the bid of' Ray Birkbeck in the
amount of $58,092.53 for storm and sanitary sewers in Hibiscus Gardens be approved
upon recommendation of the Acting City Manager, City Engineer, Finance Director and
Assistant Purchasing Agent, it being the lowest and best bid. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Fields and carried unanimously.
The Mayor announced there had been numerous complaints relative to skiing in
certain areas in Clearwater Bay. The Harbormaster stated the residents are quite
concerned about their docks and boats from the wash of the skiers and recommended
that an area adjacent to the North or South side of the Causeway be deSignated
as a Skiing area but it would require dredging to keep the skiers out of the boat
channels. The City Attorney reviewed the laws on the subject as set out under
Ordinances 623 and 633, and a Florida Legislative Act of 1955. Mr. Herod Goreage
of 158 Brightwater Drive, suggested that signs be placed at launching points
stating the regulations so that strangers will be informed of them. He also
suggested the possibility of buoys being installed as a warning to skiers. Mr.
Augustus Mueller, l5~ Devon Drive, and Mr. Paul Hoffner, 145 Devon DTive, com-
plained of the skiing between the first and second fingers of the Beach. Mr.
John Ford, President of the Clearwater Ski Club, and Mr. H. Allen Edelman, Acting
President of the Clearwater Beach Resort Association were present also. By consent,
the Commission decided to continue the investigation further before arriving at a
definite solution and taking positive action.
Resolution No. 58-6~ requiring 8 property owners to clean the~r lots of weeds and
underbrush was presented. Corr~ssioner Watkins moved that Resolution No. 58-64
be approved and adopted. The move was seconded by Commissioner Fields and carried
unanimously.
The city Attorney presented a proposed property exchange with Mr. Nick Sagonias
in which Mr. Sagonias ~roposed exchanging Lots 21 to 25 inclusive, Block AJ Navajo
Park Subdivision, and ~2,OOO.OO in cash4 with Mr. Sagonias furnishing Title Insurance
on the lots, for City owned Lots 37 to 0, inclusive, and 43 to 49, inclusive, Block
D, Navajo Park SubdLvision. Since both the Mayor and Commds6~oner Insco were absent,

Board of City Commissioners
Clearwater, F~or~da
Gentlemen:
I have a portable skating rink which is now located on Douglas Avenue in Dunedin, Florida,
which I am go~ng to move from its present location soon.
I would like ver.y much to stay in this locality as we have many children and adults from
Clearwater now patronizing our rink and have expressed their desire that we locate in
Clearwater.
I have explored many pro~pective sites in Clearwater and have located one which I think
would be an ideal location for a rink of this type. This site is in a commercial zone
and is not adjacent to any immediate residential area. The lot I have reference to is
on the south west corner o~ Howard The Trader1s property facing Gul~-to-Bay.
If permission is granted me to locate on this property, I would expect to comply with
all City Ordinances and operate a well supervised rink for children and adults of all
age s.
I am enclos~ng two letters of recommendation. One from the City of Dunedin where I am
now located and one from the City of Palmetto, Florida~ where we were located for 13
months before condng to Dunedin.
Please give this application your consideration.
Respectfully yours,
sl Neil Limberg

I have a portable skating rink which is now located on Douglas Avenue in Dunedin, Florida;
whieh I am goir� to move from its present location soon.
I wauld like very much to stay in t'r!is locality as we have many children and adults from
Glear*vater now patronizin; our rink and have expressed their desire that we .locate in
Clearwater.
I have explored many prospective sites in Clearwater and have located one which I think
would be an ideal location for a rink of this type. This site is in a commercial zone
and is not adjacent to any immediate residential area, The lot I have re�erence to is
on the south west corner o£ Howard The Trader�s property facing Gulf-to-Bay.
Tf permission is granted me to locate on this property, I would expect to comply with
all City Ordinances and operate a well supervised rink for children and adults of all
ages,
I am enclosing two letters of recommendation. One from the City of Dunedin where I am
now located and one from the City of Palmetto, Florida, where we were located for 13
months before coming to Dunedin.
Please �ive this application your consideration,
Respectfully yours,
