The Engineer explained notices sent for the prelim- inary hearing had included Block D, McVeigh Subdivision, but at the hearing there were so many objections from property owners in Block D, that he had excluded it from the Public Hearing.

Concerning editorial comment and an article in the Clearwater Sun on August 24th, on the City parles, Commissioner Insco commented reference was made to lack of picnic tables in the parks and suggested aSl(ing the Planning Board and the Recreation Department to consider which parks would be recolnmended for that type of facility. Commissioner Insco made the following report on parks: Crest Lake Park - plan for a sports meado\'l to be developed this yearj plan to put sidewalks on the Gulr to Bay side; also, a beautiful \V'a ter fountain will be installed in the center of the lake. y I" "(.>""".",.','_" ' I' '?<', r((i)~~"t l~t~fi;~;: Marymont Park Playground - Money budgeted for completion this year. Mandalay Park - if Planning Board recommends more facilities, Co~nission will be glad to consider. Hillcrest Park - recommended some of the tennis facilities be put there. Coachman Park - if plans are presented by Planning Board~ Comndssion can make further improvements. Plaza Park - cannot play ball there but adequate ballfields in that area. Overbrook Park - recommended aSking Planning Board to consider this along with the others. Seminole Park - Comn1ission's action today would propose use of part o~ the park by the Clearwater Garden Club. Skycrest Park - City bought a lake mower to cut down the weeds in that lake. Stevenson Creek Park - plans in process for proposed recreational facilities there. Recolnmend considering area for picnic tables and for tennis courts. Glenwood Park - in an area where ground has never been stabilized and its use should be discouraged until a report is received from the Engineer as to estimated cost to stabilize and drain, then the Comrrdssion should determine whether or not it will ever be used for a parl{j until then do not recommend cutting weeds or putting equipment into that area to mow. Commissioner Insco said the Commission has spent considerable time trying to find a suitable location for a City park in the south section of the City but so ~ar the land offered has been priced too high. He suggested in the future the area leased for use as an airport could be recovered and one of the largest parks in Pinellas County could be developed at a later date. The Mayor said he looks forward to the day when the Commission will be able to do the things just outlined but in the past few years there have been many problems to solve of refuse, sewers and drainage. The Attorney reported he had not contacted Mr. Larry Dimmdtt, Jr., concerning the bid for the white station wagon but had found the City had the right to contact the next low bidder, Kennedy & Strickland. He reported the Acting City Manager contacted them and was advised that the Ford factory was in the process of bang retooled so they could not deliver until November. He suggested writing a letter to ~. Dimmitt pointing out that he is liable under the bid for damages but if he delivers the station wagon properly painted by the end of the week it would deter the possible damage the City could recover from him. Commissioner Watkins moved to send the letter as long as it gives him the rest of this week to comply. Motion was seconded by Comrrdssioner Strang and carried unanimously. The Commission, now adjourned as the City Comrrdssion and acting as Trustees of the Pension Fund, heard letters read from the Advisory Committee recommending that John J. Anthony, Sewage Plant AttenQant; Bobby R. Beck, Mechanic I, Public Works, Garage Divisionj Earl R. Coley and ~son Bailey, laborers, Parks and Recreation Department, Parles Division; be accepted as members of the Pension Plan.
