Gentlemen: I refer to the letter of December 30th. written to you by 80me ot my tenants on Cleveland Street. I am fully in agreement with the suggestion of my tenants. All the stores of the Whitoomb Building and the office entrance should have signs as described in the application. The distanoe from the sidewalk will be more than sufficient to give clearance. In faot, the olearance will be greater than at some or the signs lately installed on Cleveland Street and other parts of the City. The faot that the new signs will have lights inside, will be stationary, will be well built and in keeping with the new store rront of the bui1ding--the architect has approved the signe--wi11 not only guarantee 8 neat appearance, but will also make the s1dewaJ.k better lighted. The proposed s1gns I altllough unfortuna tely a ]i ttle lower than allowed by the City ordinance, will certainl~ be safer than many signs hanging on oha1ns which may constitute 80me kind of a hazard. Since the matter is of greatest importance to all of my tenanta, I would appreciate your consideration in this matter and I hope you ~ill be kind enough to grant the permission tor installation of the new s1gns. l Yours very truly, (Signed) H. F. Heye HFH:ct -----~---------~--------~ Deoember 30, 1949 Commissioners of the City of Clearwater, Clearwater, Florida. GentJ.emen: The undersigned, being four SDall businesses located in the 400 block of Cleveland Street, hereby make request for permits to install four signs (One each) under the marquees in front of our stores. The situation being that the architect in designing the .fronts installed the marquee 8 feet 5 inches above the sidewalk. We understand the city ordinance calls for en eight foot clearance, thus we have only 5 inches for a sign which is not practical. Having already had signs made that are J.O inches high resulting in them extending 5 inches below the legal limit and the fact a sign of any lesa depth is not practical, we would greatly appreciate your granting us per.mission to use these signs. These signs are stationary and permanently installed to the marquee and will leave a clearance from the sidewalk of ? feet? inches which we are confident is ample. This matter is of importance to us and seeing no reason for objections of any consequence, we sincerely hope you see your way clear to grant our request. Yours very truly, REED FLORIST 421 Cleveland (Signed) C. S. Reed LEE'S SHOES 429 Cleveland (Signed) Leonard Collman CANTRELL & CONDON ~ 425 Cleveland (Signed) Maurice Condon and E. B. Cantrell lfflITED SPORTS 423 Cleveland (Signed) Ed Dinan -------------------------- January 19. 1950 City Comnission cf 0 C1 ty Clerk Clearwater, Fla. Dear Gentlemen: It is our understanding of Ordinance #437 that we are unable to erect a sign 10 x 20 teet advertising our company on property located on the corner ot Highland and Gulf to Bay Boulevard as such property is situated just West of Duncan Ave. As title to the property is owned by 8 member of the family an undue hardship would result it it were not possible to erect a sign at this location as it would be necessary to lease property elsewhere.

I .! .' ; Realizing that our rules and regulations are the guide by whioh the methods and polioies are established ror the impartial and effective administration or the Civil Service Aot, we have tried to impress tho oitizens or Clearwater with the tact tnat all city employment i8 open to oompetitive examination and can be a permanent career servioe tor capable employees. . I .j ; I In doing this we have utilized modern methods at reoruitment. oontaoting the u. S. Employment office and other employment agenoies in Clearwater as well as reterring to our own files of eligible lists, setting torth and showing opportunities o1'f"ered in o1ty emplo:yment to those qualified, and we certainly wish to express our gratitude to the Clearwater Sun tor their cooperation in giving us spaee for news items prior to examinations. Results seem to ~ndioate this approach is a step in the right direction. Prior to June 30, 1949, there was no classification plan in effect. 01' even a description of the duties perrormed by city employees; naturally, without this background o~ information we have had no way o~ knowing what knowledge or skill should be requlred ot applicants. Before an examination can be given, there are three questions that should be answered: 1. What must the employee know! 2. What skills must he have! 3. What aptitudes and other traits must he possesOl to perfor.m sucoessfUlly those duties! Without this information an examination may be a waste of money and time. That is the reason examinations have been limited to a great extent to the Fire and Police Departments, 01er1081 and professional jobs, where knowledge and skill are gained on the job, providing the applicants have ~e necessary intelligence and aptitude for that type of work. Study ot classification needs was ~aken up by Commissioners Guy Kennedy, Leland Drew and Bob Crane wno gave unselfishly of their t~e and ef~orts, meeting with certajn representative city employees and jointly with the Civil Service Board at a mass meeting held at the City Auditorium, Thursday evening, Kay 27th, 1949~ where all city employees interested in the subject of olassification, as w011 as otber City OommIssioners and Officials, expressed themselves as being heart1lr in favor or the plan. The actual work of classifling city jobs covered a period fraa February 25th to Juno 30th, 1949_ and was under the supervision of Hr. Robert Sfmmons, Manager of ~e Tampa F10rida state Employment Service agency; jobs were olassified by Mrs. Mildred Yoats, Occupational Analyst ot the Tampa office and many hours ot t~ping atter customary office hours were put in by your Secretary, who was directed by the Civil Service Board to acoomp1ish this ta.sk as rapidly as possible In order to meet the demands ot city otficia1s, city employees and the Florida state Employ.ment Servio~ In view of the many stencils to be cut for the tor.ms necessary in this work and the great deal of typing involved in preparing a booklet of seven peges to describe each separate job. 1;he Board members instruoted Mrs. Young to hire a typist and include the sum or 8300.00 in the Budget for the Fiscal Year 1949-1950 under the heading of "Salaries, Special". This was done accordingly, but all the typing was done by your Seoreta1"Y~ Mrs. Young. Job summaries were prepared and completed for a total of 114 jobs whioh in~luded the fol10wlng departm6nts: City Manager, Gas & Water. Publio Works, Pub1io SerVice. Fire and Pollee, F~nancel Reoreation~ Library. Building inspeotion and Civil Servlce. JQb anal~sis reports were written tor eaoh of the 11. jobs covering the 11 city deparbments. Your Secretary was oommended 1n a letter written by Mr. Robert Sbnmons, Manager of the Tampa Florida State Employment Serv.1ce, to the Civil Service Board, dated June 30, 1949, .We wish to extend ~r deep-~elt app~eciation for the oomp1ete and enthusiastio oooperation .e have rece:1ved ;tram 14rs.

Gentlemen: I rei'er to the letter o£ December 30th, written to you by somo of my tenants on Clev�sland Street. S am iizlly in agreement with the suggestion Qf my tensil�s. All the stores o� tho �Yliitcomb Buildin� and the office entrance should have a3gns as descri'ved in the application. The distence from the sidewallc will be more the.n suPficient to giva clearance. In fact, the clearance will be greater than at same of the signs lately installed on Cleveland Street and other parts of tho City. The fact that the naw signs will have lights inside, will be s�4tionary, will be well built and in keeping �vith the new store front of the building--the architect has approved the signs--s�ill not only guarantoe a neat a ppesrance, but will also make the sidewalk bettar ligi:tad. The praposed signs, although unfortunately a lit le lower ha�n lallowed by tha City ordinance, will certainl� be safer than many signs hanging on chains which may constitu�e some kind of a Y,azard. �r� Since the mattesr is of greatest importance to all of my tenan�s, 2 would appreciate your consideration in this matter and I hope you will be kincl enough to grant the per�ission for installation of the new s3gns. Yours very truly, (Signed} H. F. Haye HFH•�t Co�mnissioners of tha City of Clearfvater, Clearwater, Florida. GentlBmen: Decem�er 30, 1949 The undersigned, being fbur small businesses located in the 400 block of Cleveland Street, hereby make request for parmits to install four signs (One each) under the m�rqueee in frant of our stores. The situation being that the archit�ct in design3ng the Pronis inatalled the max�quee 8 feet 5 inches above tha sidewalk. We understand the city ordinance eslla �'or en e3ght foot clearance, thus we have only 5 inches t'or a sign which is not practical. Iiaving already had signs made that are 10 inches high resulting in them extending 5 inches below tiie legal lirnit and the fact a sign oi any less depth is r.�t practical, sve would greatly apprecia�e your granting us permission ta use these signa. These signs are stationary and permanently installed to the marquee and will leave a clearanee from the aidewalk of 7 feet 7 ir_ches which we are confident is ample> This matter is of importance to us and seeing: no reason �or ob3ectiona of any consequence, we sinceraly hope you see your way clear to grant our requast.
