been informed that the City Engineer had recownended the bid of' Y-B Company because it
had included duct \'I'orlc but he pointed out that ducts \'1ere not included in the specifi-
cations and his client felt the cooling work would be done equally well under the bid
submitted by him. The City Attorney said he had called Y-B Refrigeration last Friday

discuss the matter at thi s meeting. Mr. Carl Hicleman, air conditioning engineer
from Florida Power Corporation, present at Mr. Baskin'S request, was asked how long
it would take for him to study these bids and give an opinion on them and he said one
\<1eelc. Mr. Tom Yarborough reported the duct \'lork was fabricated, the equipment had

RESOLUTION
59-36
i~%,
HHlmEAS, 1 t J 0 llcl'oby determined and declared that the free circulation of' traffi~
of.' 011 kinds through tile streets of tile City of Clearwater, Florida, is necessary to
the health, uufety und generul welfare of its citizens and the public generally,
whether resldil~ 1n the City of Clearwater, or traveling to, through or from the City
or Clearwater, in the course of lawful pursuits: and
VlHEI1EAS, in recent years the greatly increased use by the public of' motor vehicles
of' all kinds has caused serious traffic congestion in the City of Clearwater: and
WHEREAS, the parJdng of motor vehicles in the streets has contributed to this
congestion to such an extent as to constitute, at the prese11t time, a public nuisance:
and
v/HEREAS, such parking prevents free circulation of' traf'fic in, through and from
the City of Clearv-rater, impedes the rapid and effective fighting of' fires and disposi-
t~on of police forces, threatens irreparable loss in values of urban property which can
no longer be readily reached by vehicular traffic, and endangers the health, safety
and welfare of the general public and the citizens of Clearwater, Florida: and
\vHEREl\S, the regulation of traffic on the streets by the installation of parking
meters and the impOSition of charges in connection with such on-street parking facilities
has not relieved this congestion except to a limited extent: and
vlHEREAS, said traffic congestion is not capable of being adequately abated except
by provisions for sufficient o~f-street parking facilities: and
\VHEREAS, adequate off-street parking facilities have not been provided and parking
spaces now existing must be forth\'li th supplemented by off-street parking facilities
provided by the City of Clearwater, Florida, as a municipal undertaking: and
vlHEREAS, the City Conmd.ssion of the City of Clearwater, Florida, hereby declares,
pursuant to the authority vested in it under and by virtue of its charter, together
"nth all amendments thereto and all other special acts granting power to the City of
Clearwater, as well as under and by virtue of Chapter lS3~ Florida Statutes, 1957, such
off-street parking facilities to be a public necessity: and
WHEREAS, in addition to the independent study and investigation by the City of
Clear\'later, the City COl1U1ussion has employed the services of Wilbur Smi th & Associates,
Traffic Engineers, of Ne'~ Haven, Connecticut, which firm has rendered to the City
Comldssion a complete study and report, together with recommendations, entitled
Volwne I, dated October 15, 1958, and Volume II, supplemental thereto, dated February
18" 1959, indicating the absolute necessity for the acquisition of the City of
Clearwater of certain sites in the dOwn-tOI1n area to be acquired by the City of
Clear\'1ater and used as an off-street parlcing facility for the convenience and necessity
of the public and the citizens of this city: and
vrnEREAS, the followin~ described property, to-wit:
All of' Lots Two (2) and Seven (7), both in Block 5; and the South Half (S~)
of the West 121 feet and the South 38 feet of the East 87 feet, both in Lot
One (1) of Block 5; and the South 38 feet of Lot Eight (8), in Block 5,
all of the above described properties lying and being in GOULD & EliIWG'S
FIRST ADDITION TO CLEARWATER, according to the map or plat thereof', as
recorded in Plat Boole 1, Page 52, Public Records of Hillsborough County,
of which Pinellas County was formerly a part.
o\med by Maurice B. Thayer, a single man, has been selected by this Conunission for
acquisition, installation, construction and operation as an off-street parking facility
by the City of Clearwater: and
vniEREAS, the said Maurice B. Thayer has refused to sell the aforesaid property at
a price which this Commission deenls to be fair~ reasonable and just for the same: and
\VHEREAS, the only method by "lhich the City of ClearNater can now acquire the
above described property from the said Maurice B. Thayer is by condemnation proceedings,
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Conunission of the City of Clearwater"
Florida, in s8ssion, duly and regularly assembled, as follows:
1. That the City of Clearwater does forthwith elect to proceed to condemn the
above described property OIilled by the said ~1aurice B. Thayer, a Single man, and acquire
