Mr. Jhf:lrles Everingham

Dear ~ir:
I am writing you reg~rding the lease deted May 23, 1935, under whioh you are holding
cert1.n Vvsterfront pl'operty on Clearwater Beach, ovmed by the 0i ty 01' GleerwElter.
1J.1he letlse provides th~t the City should wtthin E1 rebsom.lble time t;f'ter the date of
the lease place the pier E;dJLlcent to this pr.Jperty in Cl proper coadition bnd state of
repa1.r. It further provided thf:lt titter the pier !Lod been pluced the proper state
of repbir, you were obligated to "keep siod ilier properly Clel.llled tlnd in good oondi tion
and the pier thereon in El safe and suitable condition."
The Jity compl1.ed with its obligation to pIece the pier in a state of proper repair.
I f'ind in the City's files a letter w:citten to you by r~:l'. J.. 0. Nichols, them City ,
Manager, under d5te of Jan. 17, 1936, in wh1.ch he Officially notified you that the 0ity
had complied with its obligation in this regard. You, however, hE1ve failed to comply
with your obligation to keep the pier in c sofe end suitable condition. On the contrary
the pier has deteriorated to the point where it is now unsafe for use of the pUblic,
and the Oi ty qODlIIliss ion IH:lS found it ne cessary to 8 bandon the use of the pier by the
pUQlic and contract to have it removed as en unsafe structure.,
The condi tion 0 f t he pier mus t hElve bee n known to you all al ong 8i nc e it is loc ated so
close to the property owned by you on your lease, and it is constantly used by your
patrons. ~pp6rently you huve made no effort whatsoever to comply with the provisions
. of the lease by making rep~irs to the pier end doing bnything to keep it 1.n a safe and
usable condi tion.
I em now writing you to advise you that I intend to present these facts to the City
Commission at its next meeting Monday night, hUgust 20th, 1945, and recommend that
your leese be cancelled because of your non-compliance with its terms.
Very truly yours,

Clearwater Beach
Clearwater, tla.
Dear Mr. ~veringham:
You wIll recall that in the leese of your property at the beach including
the pier, the city was to overh6ul the pier and put same in good condition, and that
subsequent to that time the responsibility of the upkeep of the pier was in your hands.
While I think you know that this work was done last summer on the part of the
City and was completed arou~d the first of hUgUSt, I just went to get down on the record
the definite notification to you of this. 'lhere is only one exception to thisp which
is that I intend and still intend to paint the benches and railings, but there has
developed so muoh more,additional work,that I have not as yet been able to gex the men
on it. This, however, has nothing to do with the report of their putting the struc-
tu~e in good condition. If you h5ve any preferenoe as to the color to be -applied to
the benohes end the roilings, I would appreciate your advice.
Very truly yours,
on. C. I~ich ols

The 0ity relnnine Board at its l~st regular meeting, Au~st 6th, passed
unanimously the following recommendations:
~or your consideration,
1. Thet Project #4, covered by Gity ~anager liendrix report of ~.ugust 6th,
be given as much priority 8S possible, especially that part o~ the project whioh has
to do with the widening og Drew Street from ~t. Harrison to Osceola. We feel
that it would be e dtstince edv~ntege to have this work completed before the next
tourist season starts.
2. It is the opinion of the Planning ~oard that a oomplete end proper survey
be made on the Gulf side of ~learwater Beach ~sland to determine the best methods of
combating erosion. It would seem that an early start in this direction would be
advisable in as much as e thorough survey may teke considerable time.

Mr. ~. L. Hendrix
(} i ty Me nager
Clearwater, Fla.
Dear Mr. Hendrix:
"
At your request, I am giving you herewith my opinion regarding the profit
realized by the City ~rom the sale of certain new rerunding b~nds that were offered
for sale and sold on May 12th last.
The bonds were sold to Shields and Oompany at a premium of $63,277.02.
After certain items were paid out of this, pbrtioulElrly an ageed tVIO per cent fee"
to Shields & Go. on the whole emoung of bonds sold, the bolence of something ove~
$25,000.00 remained, representing a net profit realized by the Jity. I believe
the exact figure was $25,545.02.
The City's agreement with the bondholders was contained in a resolution adopted
by the City Commission providing for the refunding o~ ell general bonds, and 6 later
supp~ementary resolution. I have carefully examined these resolutions end cen find no
reference to any obligation on the part o~ the ~ity in conneotion witk any premiwn or
profit that might be reolized by the vi ty in C oanection -wi th the sele of the new re- ... ,"
funding bonds. Obviously, it WbS the obligation of the City to use the proceeds from
the sale of the ne-w bonds to retire the old bonds that were cblled. This was done
and the City had something more than $25,000.00 left over representing a net profit.
It is my opinion that this money belongs to the City to be used in any lawful manner,
and that the City can place it in the general tund and use it for operating expenses 11'
it 1s so desired.
Very truly yours,
Ralph .rlichards,

I sm writing you regerding the lease dated May 23, 1935, under w�ich y�u are h�ldiag
certin waterfront pr�perty on Clearwat2r Beach, �vvned by ths City of Clearvaeter.
The lease pr�vides that the Gity should vaithin a reasonable time GitiEr the d�te of
the lease place the pier adjdcent to this property in a pr�per cgncliti�n snd stzta af
rePsir. It iurther provided th�t after tue �ier hsd been nlaced the proper state�

and the pier thereon in a safe �nd suitabl2 candit:i�n."
Zhe �ity complied v�ith its obligstion to p1�ce the pier in a state af praper rzpsir.
I find in the. City's files a lettar written to you by 11Lr. H, t%". Vich�ls, tham City
b9anager, under date of Jan. 17, 1936, in which he qfficially n�tified y�u thst the Jity
had complied with ats obligation in -chis regard. You, hotvever, have tsiled t� c�mply
with your obligati�n ta keep the pier in a s�fe and suitabl2 c�nditi�n. On the c�ntrary
the pier has deteri�rated to tha point vrhere it is now unsafe i�r use of the nublic,
and the City �ommission h�s found it necessary t� aband�n the use �z the pier by the
public and co nt-ract to have it removed as an unsafa structure.,
The conditi�n �f the pier must hov e been knawn to you all along sinc� it is l�cated so
close to the property owned by y�u �n your lease, and it is canstantly used by �our
patr�ns, hPp�rently ;��u hav e made no effort whatsoever t� c�nply with the provisz�ns
�of the lease by rzakin? rzpairs to the pier and doing anything to keep it in s ssYe and
usable condi�tion.
I am now writing you to advise you that I intend t� present these fscts t� the City
4ommission at its next meeiing 1�-onday night, hugust 20th, 1945, and rac�mmend that
y�ur lease be cancelled because �f your n�n-c�mpliance with its terms.

Dear �ir. �veringham:
�ou w ill recall that in the leas2 of your pr�perty at the be�ch inciuding
the pier, the city w�s to �verhaul the pier an� put same in g�od condition, and that
subsequent to that time the resp�nsibility of the upkeep af the pier rvas in y�ur hEnds.
, While I think y�u know that this work �yas d�ne last summar �n the part �f the
, City and was c�mpleted eround the first of xugust, I just v���nt to get d�wn on the rec�rd
� the definite n�tif`icati�n to y�u of this. �`hers is bnly one exceptian t� this, which
is that I intend an3 still intend to paint the benches sn3 'rGilings, but there has
developed so much more additional v� rk.that I have not a s yet been able to ge� the men
an it. 'Ihis, however, has n�thing to da with the raport of thei r putting the struc-
ture in g��d condition. If you hsve any oreference as t� the c�l�r t� be applied to
the benches and the r�ilings, I would appreciate yaur advice.

Gentlemen:
The Gity Palnning Boaxd at its last ragul�r meeting, Au�ust 6th, passed
unanimausly the f ollowing recommendationss
F�r your consideration, �
1. That Pr�ject #�., c�vered by �ity 1`�anager xendrix rep�rt �f xugust 6th,
be given as much pri�rity as p�ssible, �speciFilly that part of the project which has
to d� v�tith the widening og �rew Street fr^.m �t. H�rrisan ta �scaala. 4Ve feel
that it wauld be a distince advantage t� ha-a2 this rv�rk c�mpleted before the next
t�urist season starts.
2, It is tha �pinion of the Plsnnir�g �oard that a complete and proper survey
be made on the Gulf side of �%l�sru�ater Beach 1sland to determine the best methods of
c�mbating e��si��n. It would seem that an early start in th is direction would be
advisabl� in as much as a thoraugh survay may tske considerable time.

Dear i�<r. Hendrix'
At your request, i am giving you herewith my apini�n regarding the profit
realized by tne �ity from the sele of certain new reiunding b�nds that were offered
for ss�z and s�ld on May 12th last. .
The bands were sold to Shields and Company at a pr•emium of �p63,277.02.
hftar certain items �vere paid out of this, particularly an ag�Qd tv�o per Cent fee_
to Shields & C�, on the whale �moung �i b�nds s�ld, the bolance of something ove�
v�25,000.00 remained, representing a net prafit realized by the �ity. I believe
the exact i'igure was �25,545.�2•
The �ity's agreement with the b�ndholders was contained in a resolu�i�n adopted
by the City Commiss�on providing for the refunding of sll generel b�nds, and a late�
supplementary resoluti�n. I have csrefully exa�ined these resoluti�ns and ecn find no
rePerence t� snp �bligati�n an the part oP the �ity in co nnecti�n wit31 sny premium or
profit that might be re�lized by the "ity in c�nnection with the s�le �i' the new re- �-�
funding bonds. Ub�riously, it wbs the �biigation of the vit y to use the proceeds from
the sale of the new bonds ta retire �the ald bonds that wera col�ed. This was done
ar.3 tne �it3r �ad eomething more than �25,000.00 left over re�resenting � net profit.
It is my �pinion that this money belongs t� the City ta Ue used in any lawful manner,
and that the City can place it in the general �'und and use it for �nerating expenses if
it is so desired.
- �iery tr��ly ynurs,
