The Mayor called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by Rev. Kinports,
St. Paul's Lutheran Church. Commissioner Fields moved to approve the minutes of July
15th and 17th and August 5th, 6th and 19th, 1963. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Smith and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Turner moved to deviate from the agenda to consider a change of
~olicy regarding special improvement assessments. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Fields and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Turner stated that in some projects, in the past, the City has paid
more than 1/3 of the cost and other cases where they have paid less than 1/3, by only
paying the resurfacing cost of the project. He felt that the projects of this nature,
that is to say areas which have some improvement in but need widening, curbing or
draining, should be leveled off to make them fairer far all property owners. Commis-
sioner Turner moved that starting with the fiscal year Octo ber 1, 1963 that th e present
policy be changed for the City to pay 1/3 special improvement projects involving widen-
ing, resurfacing, curbing and drainage to take the place of the present policy of merely
picking up the resurfacing part of the project. Commissioner Fields seconded the motion
which carried unanimously.
The Mayor announced the con tinuation of the public hearing on Brightwater Drive
widening, resurfacing, curbing and drainage from Hamden Drive east. Alex D. Finch,
Attorney, representing property owners in objection, recommended the owners pay drainage
and the City pay all the rest of the cost, and asked that the street not be widened.
Mr. Finch claimed it was a public street as much as Cleveland St., which is a greater
benefit to the public than to the property owners, also that insufficient notice was
given many owners. Commissioner Turner moved, having heard no valid objections, that
the City Manager and the City Engineer proceed on the project for Brightwater Drive of
paving, curbing and drainage on an assessment basis, based on a new policy to go into
effect as of October 1, 1963. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Smith. Mr. Finch
objected to "no valid objections". Twenty owners were present and the majority objected.
Mr. Charles A. Kerekes, Sr., 110 Brightwater Drive, spoke stating that the City should
never have accpeted the street. Upon the vote being taken Commissioner Turner and Mayor
Weatherly voted "Aye". Commissioners Fields, Insco and Smith voted "No". After further
discussion a revote of the property owners was taken am it was 13 to 9 in favor. Com-
missioner Turner moved having heard no valid objections, that the Brightwater Drive
improvements as outlined by the City Engineer be approved and that the project be
assessed on the basis that the City pay 1/3 of the cost and the property owners pay
2/3, per front foot. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Insco and carried unanimously.
The City Manager recommended accepting the low bid of U. S. Pipe and Foundry,
Birmingham, Alabama for cast iron pipe far Utilities Department, Water Division. Com-
missioner Fields moved upon the joint recommendation of the Utilities Manager, Water
Superintendent and Asst. Purchasing Agent concurred in by the City Manager that the
contract for 4200 feet of 6 inch cast iron pipe be awarded to U. S. Pipe and Foundry
for the amount. of $6,510.00 which is the lowest and best responsible bid and that the
appropriate officials be authorized to execute said contract which shall be in accord-
ance with the plans and specifications and bid. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Smith and carried unanimously.

Birmingham, Alabama for black steel pipe for Utilities Dept., Gas Division. Commis-

intendent, and Asst. Purchasing Agent, concurred in by the City Manager that the

for the amount of $1,950 which is the lowest and best responsible bid and that the
appropriate officials be authorized to execute said contract which shall be in accord-
ance with tlw plans and specifications and bid. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Turner and carried unanimously.

parking lot project, as they were considered too high. Commissioner Turner moved
from the joint recommendation of the City Engineer and Asst. Purchasing Agent, con-
curred in by the City Manager that all bids be rejected and the project be readver-
