CITr OOMMISS~ON ~EETING
september 25. 1950
September 25,
The Honorable Menbers ot the
City C01l1niss1on
City ot Clearwater
Clea~ter, Florida
Dear Sirs:
On beh$lf ot' J. R. Billett Co. Inc. and Myself, I w1eh to br1ng up betore the Oom-
mission the question ot the water main and gas \txtenaion Ggreement in oonneot1oll
with the proposed s~bdiv~.10n known as Venetian Point, located at the 1nter3eotloD
of Hor~ Port Harr1son and 8tepnenson Street.
As 1 underatand th6 situation, Mr. B~nnett, tba City Manager, has proposed that
the cost or 1nstal11ng the water and gal' mains "Which togather approximate "900.00.
be advanoed b, the company under Ordinance 1551, whereby $'75.00 would be refunded
tor eaoh .ter conneotion and 50 per cent. of the monthly gas billa be returned.
both to be 11mited for a period of six yeara. The polic,. Hems to bave been to
make two .gresnent8~ one in oonneotion with water and one in connection with gas,
I am personal~y trying to make an agreement with the Billett COIl1pany whereby I
would put up th1s money 1n order tor the gas and .ter to go into the subdivision.
'You possibly leno.. that the stOrJll caused oonsiderable damage to the installatIon re-
8luting in extra pumping and Mr. Billett ~nto to make a deal with me to put up
this money and 1t would be returnable to me.
Your Ordinance #551~ in mw opinion, was never meant to apply to land 100ated In
the City o~ Clearwater where 1t was immediately susoeptible to belng bui1t on fOr
res1denoe purposes. One house has already been started on the new pumped-in land.
In other words. it the City had the funds. it should be the policY' to furnish
to furnish water and gas to anY' property located in the town w~thout the owner
putting up large sums for the 1nstal1ation. However, \1'e know that the C1t~ doea
not have these t"unds but, in mY' opinion. the principle should be established that
whoever does put up the funds should ul~1matel'Y be reimbursed and the City lShould
not profit on the in8ta~lation but only protit on the water and gas after tue In-
sta11atlon was paid offG
I would appreciate this ~tter being brought up tonight as Mr. Billett 1s
anxious to have me enter into the agreement at an early date T71th the City so that
the mains Da~ be 1natalled.
Inasmuch as the funds to be advanced, 8:(?prox1matel,. t4900.00, will not draw an1'
interest. it 18 my thought that until the 14900.00 1s returned there should be no
11mi t ot tme on the agreement. If you gentlemen feel that there DUst be 8 l1m1t o~
t~e. surely six years is too Short. I suggest a minimum of ten years.
Also, 1n view of the war conditions. it i8 telt that at any time during Which.
because o~ W8r priorities, it will be impossible to construct home, ~t that time
should be el~inated from the ten-year period.
I txuat that you w111 author1ze the City Manager to enter into an agreement that
would return the tunas to the plrty who advanced them.
Very truly yours,
W. H. Wolfe

As I understand the situation, Mra Bennett, t�e City A3anager, has �roposed th�t
the cost oi insta113ng �he wa��r and gaa ma3ns vrhich together sppraxima�e �4�300.00,
be asivanced by tha� company under Ordinance #551, whereby �75.00 cvould be refunded
for each wx�e:� connect3on and 50 per cent. of the monthly gas bill� be returnod�
both to be limi:ted �or a period of s ix years. The policy s+eems to ha've baen to
make tvro Agrecunents, one in connection with �rater and one in connection with gas,
I am personally trgring to make an agreement with the Billett Company whers�by I
srould put up this monay in order Por the ges and w��ar to go into the subdivision.
You possibly know that the atorin �aused considerabls damaga to th� installation re-

this money and it wou3.d be returnable to me.
Your Os�clinancs �551, in my apinion, was never aneant to a�ppZy to land locat�d in
the Gity oi Clearwster wher� it was ivunediately susaeptible bo be3ng built on for
residance purposes. One house has a].ready been star'ted on the new pu.^nped-in landa
In other words, if the C3ty ha,d the fund�, it should be the policy to flzrnish
te i'urnSsh vuater and gas to any property located in the town w3thou� the �wn�r
putting up large sums for tha installation. Hoerever, we know �that the Cita does�
not have thase f�a.nda bu'c, in my opinion, the principla should be establ3shed tha�t
whoever doe� put up the i'unds ahoulc? ultimately be reimbursed and tF3e C:E.tp should
not profit on the inatallation but only pro�it on the �vater and gas aPt�sr tF�.e ia�-
sta�lation wss paid ofP.
I�ould appre�ciate thia ffiatter being bx�ought up tonight as Mro Billett is
anxious ta have me �nter into the agreement at an esrlp date with the City so thst
the m�ins may be installado
Inasmuch �s the Punds to be �dvanceda a proximately �4900.00, will na� draw any
interest, it is my thought that until the �49QOo00 is returned thare should be no
limit oY tSma on th�e agreemento If you gen}lemen Peel tk�t there mus� be a�3.m3t o�
times surely six years is too shorte I suggest a minimum oP ten years3
Also, in view of tha tt�ar conditions, it 3s felt that ait any time auring which,
because oP war priorities, it vsill be impossible to constructt hom�, that tlzat tim�
should be eliminated �rom the ten-voar period.
I trust that you will �uthorize the City Mana�er b� enter into an Qgreement that
rvould return the i`unds to the party who advanced them.
