':.<><" /,~,':'~'~n,'::\j~,,( ( : .,' ~. . , \ .;",.."" !". ....~,' , lilji~~~~ · ,~~~i ::'(1' t The Clearwater Guides Association called a meeting Thursday night of the charter boat skippers and dook masters to discuss a proposal for the use ot the City Dock during the emergenoy created by the City ot Clearwater in constructing new docks on Clea~Yater Beach. This proposal is baaed on the policy of protecting the investments of the dock owners and the charter boat men, and the continuation of their established businesses. Both the Sportsman Dook and the Imperial Dock have been widely ad- vertised in th1s territory over a long period or ~earB and s1nce these two docks handle the greatest percentage of the charter boat business, we feel that the investment of Capt. Wright of Sportmnan Dock and Mr. Nac Newman of ]nperial Dock, ahould be equally represented on the City Dock. The Charter boat captains have 1ikewise been identitied with their separate docks also for a long period of time and have carried the identity of their docks in their own advertising and each captain has a big fo1lowing and is ent1t1ed to continue his business under the title of his respective dock. We, therefore_ recommend that each dockmaster be assigned an even number of slips on the City Dock to be designated as his temporB1'1 dock during the ~er- gency, and that those charter boat oaptains who have been actively engaged at their reapective docks for a long period of t~eJ six months or more, should be pe~ltted to work under their own dockmaster. namely the Imperial Dock boats to be nanaged by Mr. Mac Newman and the Sportsman Dock boats to be managed by Capt. Fred Wright. and that each dockmaster be pennitted to arrange tor separate tele- Phones and separate advertising and to continue their respective businesses on the same basis as they have been doing under their preVious leases with one ex- ception, which is detailed bel.ow. Since it has been or will be necessary for tlOe City to replace and install new piling and repair the City Dock to make it useable for this business, it 1s proposed that the charter boat men who have been paying six dollars per month tor their slips at their respective docks_ now pay ~is same amount &s dock rental to the City and that each dockrnaster be pennitted to charge ten percent commission as they have been doing in the past, for charter parties on the boats operating under his dock management. We feel that the income from the approx1mate~y sixteen Slips for charter boats at six dollars per month, should go to the City to reimburse them for the dock ~provements. It is understood that the dock business w1ll continue to be handled in a dignified and businesslike mwnner without sidewalk or dock s011- citation. . ;1'. The exception mentioned above 1s this: We understand that the dockmastera covered by this plan, w11l not be charged for the renta1 or their present locations during the construction period and therefore~ having no investment in property on the City ~ok, the slip rentals should go to the City as outl1ned above. We have not included the three open party bosts in the fifteen or sixteen charter boat slips. These are the Miss Elsie, the Jeannette and the Katrina. We feel there will be ample room for these boats on th8 west end of the City Dock but they would be managed by their present dockmasters and their dook rental should also revert to the c1t~. v We feel that this plan will cause less confusion and give better servioe to the general public and the charter boat fleet. There will probably arise a tew, minor details to be ironed ou"t but we feel that wi.th mu'tual co..openltlon between the City and the dock masters and charter boat men. it will be no great obstacle and w11l. help to preserve intaot the identities of the ind1vidual dooks, tho doek masters and their charter boa t fleets so tha t when the new dooks are OOlD.. plated, normal business may again be resumed.

CI~ COMMISSION MEETING November 6, .1950 Ootober 2?, 1950 Mr. Boyd A. Bennett, City Manager, Clearwater, Florida. Dear Mr. Bennett: I am writing this letter on behalf of Mr. William Meyer who is the owner and the operator of the boat .Sea Fever", now operating from the manIoipal dock, As you know, Mr. Meyer has for some ttme used the faoi1ities of the dock on a month-to-month basls, and for this privilege, has paid the oity a rental ot $45.00 a month. This figure inoluded the sum of ~25.00 rental on the boat slip, used by the "Sea Fever" and $20.00 for rental on the bait stand and concession whioh was opersted under Mr. Meyer. Mr. Meyer desires to obtain from the City a lease on the fao1litles he 1& now uDing. From the soale of rentals being charged for docking space in the City, it is Mr. Moyer's opinion that the present rental is oertainly most tair rrom the CIty's standpoint, and he is w11ling to continue to pay this rental; however, he desires some certainty and would like to enter into a lease for not less than a yesr on this basis. If such a lease is entered into, Mr. Meyer agrees to erect a bait stand on the dock whioh will be substantial and attractive. It is believed that a bait stand will be very convenient to the people who fish tram the drawbridge and the city dock. As you know, the bait stand whioh previously was situated upon the dook was destroyed by the last hurricane. Will you please put this matter up to the City Commission at the earliest pOSSible moment for oonsideration? ATC/ js Very truly yours, Signed: A. T. Cooper Jr. ORDINANCE NO. 600 AN ORDIllANCE ADOPTDlG A NEW REVISION AND CODIFICATION OF THE ORDINANCES OF THE CITY O}l' CIEARWATER, FLORIDA, PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF CERTAIll ORDINANCES NOT INCLUDED THEREm, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES HEREINAFTER SET FORTH.

Sgrgeant9 Mayor, Board oP City CotmnissionersD City of Clearwater, Flae G�ntlemen: The Clearwater Gu3des Associat�.on called a meeting Thursday night of the charter boat skippara and dock masters to discuss a propasal for the use of �he Citg Dock during tha emc�rgency created by the City oP Clsarwater in �oristructing new docks on C7.ear�zater Beaciie This proposal is based on the policy of protecting the investments of the dock owners and the charter b�at mer., and the continuation of their sstablislied businesses. Both the Sportsman Dock and the Iaiperial Dack have been s�3dely ad- vertised in tiais territary over a lon� ger�iod oP years a.nd since �hese two docks handle the greatest percontage of the i;hartar boat buainess, we �eel that th� innestmen� of Capto Wright of Sportsman Dock and hir. �uiac Newma.rt oi' Islpsr3�1 Dock, should be equslly representad on tho Citg Dock. The Gharter boat captains have like�ise been �.dentiPied with their separate docks �lso Pc�r a long p�riod oP time and have carried the idantit9 oP the3r docks in their o�vn adv�rtis3ng and each c�ptain has a big iollowing and ia entitled to continue hi� business under the title of his respeative docko We, theraPore, reconunend that each docl�naster be assigned �n even number oP slips on the City Dock to be designated as his temporary dock dur3ng the emer- gency, and that those charter boat captains who have been actively angaged at their reapective doeks for a long period oP time, six months or mor�, should be pezsnitted to w9rk under their orvn docl�aster, namely the Imperial Dock boats to be managed by bir. 4iac Newman and tha Sportsman Dock boats to be m�anaged by Cap�. Fred 1Yright, and that each docl�nastgr be permitted to arranga for separate tele- phones and separate a�vertising and to continus their respective bus3nesses on the same basis aa thay have been doing unciar their previoua leases with one ex- csption, which is detailed below. Since it has '�een or e�ill be necessary Por thd C�.ty to replace and instalZ new p3ling and r�pair the City Dock to make it useable for this busine9s, it is proposed that the charter boat msn who have been pa�ring six dollars per month for their slips at their respective docka, now pay this same amnunt as doak rental to tha City and that each doci�nastar be permitted to charge ten percen� cammission as theg have been doing in the past, P.or cherter parties nn the boats operating under �:is dock managemez�t. We f�e1 th�t the income fron� the approximetely sixteen slips for charte�r boats at six do].lars per month, ahould go to the City to reim'�ursa them for the dock improvementso It is understood that the dock businesa �ill continue to be handled in a digniPied and businesslike manner without sidewalk or dock aoli-� citatian. The exeepti�n mentioned above is this: tNe underaband tha� the doc�nasters covered by thia plan, a�ill not be charged Por the rental oP their present loca�ions during the conatruction period and therePore, having no investment in proper�q on tl�e City Dock, t2zs slip rett�als ahould go to the City as outlined above. We hane not included the three open �rt� boats in the fiPteen or sixt�on chsrter boat slipa. These are the Mias Elsie, the Jeannette and the Katrina. V�e feel there� will be ampl9 room Por these boats on ths wes� end of �he Gity 7?�ek bu� they would be mar�e.ged bg their prasent dockmasters and their clock rental ahould also revert to the city. ✓ We Peel that this plan wi�.l cause lass conflza3on and give better service to the general public and the charter boat fleet, There c�ill probably ariee a few minor deteils to be ironed out but we Peol that wi�h mu�ual co-operation between � the Cit� and the dock masters and charter boat H1921' it �will be no great obetacle and will help to preserve intact the identitie,^ oP the inc�ividual docks, the • dock masters and their charter boat f].eets sa tha� when the new docks are eom- pleted, normal buainess may again be restamed.

Dear Mrv Bennatt: October 27, 1950 I am writing this letter on bekialP oP Lir. Yitilliam Mayax� who Sa the owner arxi the operator og the boat "Sea Foesr°, nove operating Prom the munioipal dack. Ae you know, h4�. I�ta:yer Yxas for some time u�ed tlle facilities oP the dock on a month-to-month basis, and for this privilega, has gaid the city a rental nP �45.00 a mon�h. This Pigure inalufled the sum of �25s00 rental on the boat slip used by the Sea Fever aml �2Q,00 Por rental on the bait stand and cax�cession tivhich vras operated under I+�r. Hiteyere Mr. Meyer desires to ot�tain Prom the City a l.easa on the facilitlas ha is rzow uaing. From �he scale aP rentals being ehmrged Por docking space in the C�.ty, it is hir. Meyer�a opinion that the pres+�nt rental is certainly most fair Prom the �it�ta standpoint, and �e is willing to continuo to pay this rental; however, he desirea some certainty and would like t� enter in�o a lease Por nat less than a qear on tY�.is basis. If such a Iease is entered into, &Ir. b�teqer agxees to �r�ct a bait stand on the dock which v�ill oe substrzntial and attractive. It is believed that a bsit atand will 3e vax�y� convenient to tho people who Yiah from the drawbridge and the citg docko As you Y.no�, the bait stend which previously erag situal:ed upon the doek was deetroyed by the last hurricane.
