department receiving a five-day- work w�ek or a raise in pay. V1e were informed �hat the
City of Clearurater was not in a financial condi�ion to do either of the foregoing,
However, after having read �he newspaper accoun� oi' the city�s budget for t12e eaming

CITY COMNRSSIQN MEETING
June 22, 1959
(Continued)
We would like to take this opportunity to expreas our appreciation and thanks to you
and �the members of the city commission for the long h�urs you have been forced to
work �.n preparing th�,s budget, and fix],ly realize and appreciate the responsibi?ities
placed on you wh11e doing so. However, we would like �o bring to your attention the
follow3.ng facts, and again appeal to you and. the Board of City Commiss3oners for further
consideration of this ma,tter.
We have learned Chrough our otvn in�res�igation that no less than five applications have
taeen iiled witll the Slzeriff of Pinellas County, by members o#' our local police
department for jobs v,rith h�.s of'f'ice as depu�ies, and that there a�e at least two
o�her officers of oux 1oca1, police department who ha,ve alx�ead.y taken examinat3.ons for
positions with the United States Post Office Departmsnt,
Needless to say, �ha� the standards and mora;ie of our local police department are
100p higher than �hey were several years ago, and we feel that in order to main�ain
�hese high stan,dards and good morale of our police department, it is incumbent upon
�Ghe city to offer either higher wages or shorter �orking hours to the police depar�ment.
While t�ae are orz this point it mi,ght be we11 to pain� out that t%e Ci�y of Clearwater
lost Sheriff Don Genung to the County of Pinellas, due to this aforementioned con�
dition, Recently Off'icer Oacai: Underwood resigned co accept emplaymsnt with the
Sheriff�s office, simply because he could not support his family on his salary with
�he Clearwater Police Aepartmen�.
In passino I would like to poin� out that in a e�i;�rvey recently made, based on 1959
salaries paid to beginning patrolmen of cities ranging in population from 35,000
to 50,000, said survey comprising 42 different cities, Clearwater �ras listed 36th,
or 6�Eh from the bottom on their beginning salaries.
Aga3.n we would 11ke for you gentlemen to please xecons3der this m�,tter, and we have
the eonfidence in yotz to know that if at a7,1 possible you v.*i11 grant the reques-� as
heretofore made by the police department, We would again lik? to say that we ur1.11
appreciate it if' we, �he aforementioned persons as well as the writer of this letter,
remain anonymou� so that no one other than yourselves Wi11 knov,. of this situation
as well as �he attemnt on our part of bettering our working co�ditions i'or the police
department, We are very proud of our city and especial7y of its police �epar�men�,
and we want to be in the position to obtain better men, and continue to be proud of
the law enforcement. Iiowever, we do feel that �here is a great possibility of losing
excellent pol.ice material and not being able to continue t� obtain the type of
individual �hat we need as a po�.ice officer here in Clearwa�er,
7f at all possible we �vould appreciate meeting with you gen�lemen to discuss this
situation, and we feel that you will consider this ma,tter p�ior t� making any final
decision,
