Commissioner Blanton wished to he ve COlmnission pa ss Re6'olution opposed to proposed Turnpike on the East Coast which is to cost millions of'dollars. He said that it would serve the C1 ty of Miami and City of .Tacksonville to help people to p,et there quickly and would dar.mge all cities in between. He felt thzt it is not a good thing for the State. He sa id he Vlould lilce to see the City go on record as opposed to it. He and Commisa:ioner nynn felt that iF. it is built at all it should be built down the center of the State. He said it.s cost would be high and it would take a lone time to pay for it. He said that highway tax money for the next :Cew years would go into that highwa.y with a'resulting loss: to the other highways in the Sta.te where there is a definite need for funds. He said that the T~lpa area is the greatest trade population of anyone section in the state. Com- missioner Black said he is opposed to that plan to build it, but he did not believe that it would COrle out of State funds. He said it should be pei.d out of bonds. He said the Pennsylvania Turnpike wa s. paid off in a very short period of time, and has: proven very satisfactory. The City Attorney corroborated Commissioner Black's statement>> adding that such hlr;hways are not paid for out of State funds, that it is a revenue certificate pro- position. Cornmis:sioner Blanton moved that the City Attorney be a.uthorized to draw up a Resolution opposing the build1ng of a Turnpike on the East Coast. Cornn11s~ioner Black seconded the motlon, which was voted upon and unanimously carried. : . ~ ~.." .....,..,.,.,?~....,..'\.:...'.."h.."'~:'7... ',~.' ',,:.~. ~'., .__.~~ . .' ,> ~:"..;;'.,..>:.

Letter was read by Oity Clerk fror:l Open }>arty Boats - 1\118s' Elsie, Rainbow, and lI11ss 13ucke:re II, elated November 9th, protestJnI~ allowing the Sea Pever to remain at the Oity dock. They requested that the City have it r.lOven. to the new Marina piel~ at the Beach. Conunissioner Blanton sta.tect that thero is a City ordinance ar,ainst using the dock for oommercial purposes and .that he would not vote to vi<;>late the City Ordinance. He said that he felt if the Cit~f is going to have City lows on thelr books that thA City Ocnn- mission should certainly be the first not to violate them, regardless of what some pre- vious COIn!'lisslon has clone in the past. He said that past actions are not chargeable to this Commisaion, but that if this Commission goes ahead and enters into a contract in viola tion of this ordina nee tha t he would not vote to do so. Cor;nnis8'ioner Lynn sta ted that he agreed with him completely. City Attorney stated that he had udvised the Oity of the Ordinance that that particular docJ: shall not be used for cor.lI:lercial purposes. He said that he might further fltato th&t it is his understandinr, that the reason it was passed is because :it Vias discovered that SO!:le contractual obligation Vias incurred by the City connected with the conveyance of' that property to the (Jit~r that it would not be used for couIDlercial, hut for public purposes- only. He said that he had notes on this matter at the time of previous case involving the use of City Dock by I.lac Newman, but bas' not found his notes since that time. He also stated that he has been advised by former City Attorneys that that is the case. He said that even if the ordinance were repealed that the City would still be held as the use that went with the land waB to be public onl:w. He said there is n,o way the Uity can use the dock for cor.lmercial purposes. Mr. Vl. W. Black- burn said that as a member of the Calvary Baptist Church he recalls that they owned that property, including riparian rights, and that it Vias deeded to the City provided that it was used for commercial purposes. He said he thought if the Oity will check back they Vlill find that to be true. City Attorney stated that he had :found the deed and that there was no restriction of t}~t nature on it, but that prior to the actual execution of the deed there lias a temporary contract between t he City and the Ohurch not to use It for com- mercial purposes. Another grantor entering into this property :matter placed a similar restriction on it at that time. Commisgioner Turner asked whether technically it would be possible to act on the matter at this time in view of the :fact that it was not listed on the agenda for this meetinK. City Attorney stated that et the last re~llar meeting of the City Connnission Capta in Myerf s application was before the COl1'1I<1issj.on, and that the tiMe element was stressed a great deal. He sald the Oomrnission referred the matter to the Lease Oommittee with the instruction to report back irmnediately so that Captain Myer would know his rights as soon as possible. In view of that fact and since the Com- mission has the other request before them frOIfl the Open Party Boats and if they have made sufficient study of the natter he felt it should be acted on at this meeting. Oity Mana- ger stated that it was not on the agenda because Oapt. Myel" requested that it not be placed there as he was going to be out 01' town. Capt. Carey, spolceslY'.an for the Open Party Boats', said that s'ince it had been brought out that according to Oity Ordinance it is not possible for the Sea li'ever to stay at the City Dock that he could see no reason why it could not be acted on at this meetinr,. Oornmiss:ioner Black read from rrllnutes of meetine of November 5th regarding this matter as' .follows: "Mayor Brown requested that since the season is: coming on, that the matter be disposed of imrnecl1ately - the latter part 01' this week or a t the earl'j"" pa rt of' next Vleek. --- ---- --- ------ ItOOIlll1iss:ioner Blanton sugge sted tha t a' COmr.1ittee get busy on this 1r.1l11ediately so that it can be brought back to the Conrrlliss-ion this week.1t Gontr.lissioner Lynn moved that renev181 of lease or permit to Capt.. Vlilliam Myer be denied because of' the lega I ordinance vlhich we ha ve in the Ci t;{ of Clearwa ten-. stating definitely and positively that that property cannot be used for cOIi1l;J.ercial use, and that a provision or berth be provided at the Harine: for the Sea Fever if Capt.

Oommissioner' Blanton asked if failure to renew Capt. Myer's lease precludes lease to any bait con- cession or business on that pier. City Attorney replied that that Vias part of' the other unit, and would automatically be discontinued. Cotr.mlissioner Blanton asked if there is any reason why the Sea Fever could not dock a t the extreme East end of the new Marina. City Manager said that there are two places which could be arraneed f'or. Commissioner Blanton stated that between the pilinr;s and the wharf it could be docked by taking out- one piling. ~11f~:.t~~~r.l{r'~':~"2~~j:~:'jift;~/it)T.WfSt'~~':l-~.;~fir;;;g~;~?tf/{~~~~~r~~'~~~;~JYf~wr1J?J~~~"1:)~'~':t~\r~ ~ ~~J'~'::/:f7~~i7::" :~,~t~:~;:~~~::;.r~~):n':.';~'.i :.;\!l?!;:~~:;:,ii:;;~- , .; I r r [ t. r. , f t i - [;' .. ..,." . ~ . ,.',. .,..,';'~.',\-.\' - ".> .':' ,':.:'"h I.

Anot:her property owner said she still thinlcs she should be paid, though her case is not what could be considered /;1; hardship case. He said tlmt one r.18n owns a corner lot und lot ad.1oins it and he feels 1 t would narrow his lot down, but he would utill have an aJ11ple building site or if he cut it down he still would Imve two lots 50 or 60 feet deep. l~ said he believes in the lon~ run he will go along with it, but tll0Y do not pave his cOl'went yet. Another property owner Vlentu a 81.trvey l:18de 80 the t the~r will knoVl exactly where the lIne w:tll come as to whether it will c01:le right at their steps or a little fartheI' out, and t:hat will govern their decis:1.on.

'l'}1O last probleu is regarcling some oak trees which the property owneru th:l.nk a great deBl of which will come out on the right-of-way. They don't want the tpecs killed or c.estroyec1, and that it is felt by the Public Works Administrator that they V/onlt llaVfl to lIe destroyed as the power lines can be placed on the opposite side of the street.

He sa 1d tr18 tit is the:l.r fee ling tha t Myrtle Avenue needs it for a yea r round proposition more than any other stree t in the C1 ty of (;lea :rVI8 tel" which does- not he ve a sidewalk. He said it is a dangepoHs street to drive on at night because of the possi- bility of hitting pedestrians. He st!:itecl that their r;roup was tolel by the l'.layor that they might get it in a couple of years. He said the~r felt that they 'wanted it much sooner than that. Conunissioner Lynn said that he was sure they would not have to wait two yearS". that it could be completed long before tha t.

He sa,id that after going over the street he felt the City could salvage all }1aving now on the street and recap it. He as]-::ed f'or r,lOre tir~e to vlOrk out further plans on it. He sa:td that they know about how the West section will work out, but that he does not know about the East section yet. He said that Turner Street from the Bay to Ft. Harrison is a twenty f'oot pavement and will tal-::e a five foot set-back on each side f'or a thirty foot pavemont. He said that the curb and trees will have to be :moved back on each side. The City Manager said that 32 f'eet has been recor:rmended. Corumissj.oner Blanton said that the part from Ft. Harrison to the I3ay should be thirty-two feet wide. CorrrrniB s'.oner Lynn said he f'elt that thirty feet should be put in now, and tha t if' it is :made wider than tha t trees will ha va to be moved. ConunisS'ioner Blanton asked if Ean estirlate could be brought in by Thursday night. City Engineer l'epliecl that he could not do so b-:," then. 1:.1. H. Jones, Attorney, said that he represented the Central Civic .Alssocia tion, and particularly people living in the area f'ron Che stnut to Turner -Street. He sa id the~{ are suff'ering froDl lack of 'dra inage and that their situation could be remedied v/ithout involvin{; a lllajor project. He sa:td the sewer comes down as far as Iilyrtle and then there is a sewer in the area of Court Street. He said that it is necessarJ', as he sees the :r.'.ap, to run a connection between the two sewers and relieve the area of' conditions which have existed for a long tiue, such as an excess of mosquitoes, f'rogs, snakes, and the bad flood conditions which occur durinr, heavy rain storms. He stated that the water eets as deep as above the hub caps of autonobiles and drains off slowly, leaving the whole area wet. He asl~ed i1~ this drainage project could be tied in with the street paving project. City l.lanager replied that the two could not be done in connection \"lith each other. I.ir. .Tones then said thBt he v/ished to request the City Enr.;ineer to get data on the drainage pl'oject. Connnissioner Blanton stated that the City Manager and City EnGineer ha ve been working on such f'igures and are goinE; to mal{e a report on it tonight. Comr.1issioner Black l.loved a ccoptance of the Cit~r Engineer's report; and that he be instructed to proceed with the final estimate and specif'ications for Turne1' street wideninr; and report bacl:: with the sarne as soon as- possible so that if possible a public hearing can be held on Decer.lber 17th a t the same tine as the other public hea:ring will probably be held; and the t this estir:la te be made for sufficient extension or widening to provide for a thirty foot pavement.

He said that recently the City Engineer presented a plan for temporary relief of Turner street, Cleveland street, and Greenvlood Avenue. He said thf::lt about the f'irst of the year a drainBlf~e plan Vias given to the City which the Attorne~T said should not be acted upon at that tirae in view of the possible legislation to go throur;h the State Legislature for assessments on an area basls WIlien would a l'feet the assossment in such cases, so the matter vms tel'1porari1~r shelved at that time. He sut;f,ested that the Oonnniasion have the matter studiEld and report brought back in the near f'utt!re. He said the line on Pierce, stroet ia co rr~ring all the Via tel' it CEl 1'1 cu l'r~T - tho tit ha n been checked and is wide open into the Bay and is delivering all tho wott'lr it can into the Bay. lIe said the City is runn inr; not onl~T into B11r1'8 co wa tel' dal,Jage, but that trouble '1 s b 0 lng ~allsed to the sani- tary sOVlers of the Oity. Ho said that manholes are gettinr.; covered and submerged and are running up oewa~~e going throlll~h tho dispooa 1 plant. He said that this' improvement would do away with that trouble as well us conditions prevailinp; after heavy :rains. He asked' that the Commission study the plan and bring baclc reconmlendations rer,ardlng it at possib1y the Decewver 17th meeting. He said that the sume problem exists on Clearwater Beach, that there is serious troulJle over there and thn t it should be givon SOlne study at the S8me "t1rne in connection with enlarp;ing the pllmpinr:; station on T.1andala:v at the Clearwater Beach Hotol. He sald otherwiBo IJO!ilO day the sanitary syster.l on Glearv/u ter l.3each might have to be shut down to repair the }lwllpinf~ systern on tho Bea.ch. Uity H;ngineer said that when the Court Streot extenoion dre,inap,e syster:1 was designed that he culled to the atten- tjon of the COI,unission and ],i!:lnager that the s~rsteM was predicated on the fact that there would be another ::JE:H/er on Haven Street a.nd Chestllut Utroet, a~ the 36u s.ewer in I\1yrtle Avenue is carr:'r1ng its cal)8.eity right noVl and the City is going to f;et into trouble.

He said he Vlould like to have I:Jeubers of that COIlr.1ission instl'ucted a.s to their duties. lIe said it nakes a real problelfl on Cleveland Street and lilyrtle, as there is a dip there. He saId they vlould like to havo this llrained irJmH~diately.

Mr. Warren Eigennlann spoke of'the serious drainai-~e conditions in that area. He oaid all pro- perty owners there are af'fected and that they want to coopera-te l007~ with the Co:mmiss-ion, and that whatever reconnnendations it has the Drainage Cornr.11ss:ton will a.gree to. CO!:1- missioner Lynn rl1ovec1 that the report he accepted, and that drainar;e on the Beach and South Garden Avenu.e a-hould be done ir'lrnec1iately. He said that vlater is even with the top of the pump on the Beach, and that he feels :l.t is a situation which does require attention. Mr. Joe Rape, Superintendent of' the S'owap,e Disposal Plant for the City, said that there is onl~r one motor, of sufficient size which is ptUrlpinr; over there and that it is old and that it does run continuously at ti!'les and that i.f :it ever does' go out it would talce about three days to repair it, with consequent sCl'ious dar;11.;If~e to :property. City Manager stated that he would like the Cornmiss:lon to permit hiln Bnd the En~ineer to proceed with plans and report back to the C0111miss10n VJith recommendations.

Last weelc Mr. Allen had a. meetlnf~ in the Eng:1neer's office with the local Sanitarian.. He stated that this sanitary condition is becominr, serious. He said the. t there are tJ:lree septic tanl-:s talcing care of Sunset Point, and that it is the feeling of' Ur. Henry and the Committee tl1a t we should be a vIe to brinf; then together a t the lower part of the Park at Stevenson Creek to pump it across the Creek and bring it along in the neighborhood of Harbor Drive, and take it into their disposal plant. He sa id that he would like to make the recommendation that he t:lnd the City BnGineer study the situation and bring in re- comnendation as to cost and hoVl long it would take. Commissioner 'l~lrner asked if there are three separate septic tanl{s on the North side of Stevens-on Creek. City Il1ana€;er said that that Via s correct. Comrnissioner Blanton asked if the disposal plant had sufficient capacity to take care of this added burden. The Oi ty l.iana~~er replied that lt is taking ca re of everythinr, now and doing away with the septic tanks entirely VTould not be over- taxing the plant. Corrunissioner Blanton asked if' they are the ones Vlhich we:re pouring raVl sewage into S"te venson Creel~ withollt its being proce ssed. City Hana ger replied that there are five sapara te sewers which are emptying untreated sewaf~e into stevenson Creek.

Commissioner Black awed about traffic light spoken of last weok on N. Ft. Harrison. City Manar.;er said the Power Company could put up two poles for cable soon, and tha t the controlling box. hac'\. had to be usod for somethin~ else, but tha t a nother one had been ordered and would soon arri va. Commissioner Blanton moved that the City Manager be a uthorized to prooeed inmec1ia tel.y to install a tra ffic lir,ht a t the interseotion of Greenwood A venue and Druid Roa,d. Commissioner Dlack seconded the motion, which was voted upon and unanim ously carried. CorlUl1issioner Blacl.: said he felt that an officer should be sent to the Seaboard Airlino RailVla~r at the Post Office to control the '~raffic jam which develops thel~e on Saturday mornings. Capt.

Commissioner 131ac1< f1aid th&t,when an officer is out to direct thut the traffic l:l.ght should not ue going at tho salne time. Capt. Genung said that there is only one shut-off and when one light ls shut off they all shut off. Conuniss ioner Tu:r>ner suggested tha t the Police Dapa rtI1en t contact the public markets and asle them to have a man out to direct traffic on their lots, partic- 111a rly on Sa turday mornin~s to elimina te the tra ffic jams which develop for many blocks as a result of the traffic in and out of the parking Iota of some of the r,181'kets. He said that in Tampa there are men in the marl{ets who direct traffic in such lots. City Attorney stated that he did not feel that they could be made to provide a man to dlrect traffic, but that any individu9.1 Vlho obstructs traffic can he arrested.

It was agreed by consent the t this be done. Wideninr, of intersection of Greenwood Avenue and Cleveland street was discussed. City Attorney stated that both parties involved in the matter have agreed to give deedS' for necessary footage. lIe Raid that it is necessary to bet mort~ar;e releases, but that the project can go right ahead at this time. City Engineer said that it would ta:ke about ten days to two weelcs for the project to be completed, and that one side at a time would be done so that the streets would not have to be closed. Acting Mayor Turner spoke of the fact that this work should be done as quickly 9.S possible as tra'ffic will soon be at the peak for the season. Letter frOla property owners requestinf.!: paving and drainage on Avalon Street was' read by the City Clerk. City !Ilanager said that it could be tnken care of by curbs and gutters or by installing some storm sewers. He said that he would like instructions to proceed with obtaining estir;ates, and that it would necessitate a public hearing. Com- missioner Blanton 1,1Oved that the Oity lllanager be authorized and instructed to have the Engineer prepa:r>e an estilnate of the cost of this work on Avalon street between Mandala,y and the Gulf, and also the same on Papaya between l.londalay Boulevard to Gulf Boulevard, and on Baymont street f'rom Gulf to I,ianda lay Street.

Mr. Pete P1epelow, 26 Avalon Street, asked how many people had signed the letter to have the street paved. He vias inforned that three property owners llad signed it. Mr. Piepelow said that there are twelve people in that area, and that only three of tha t group want the street. He sa id the t he felt the rest should be heard from as he felt it very unfair to install the improvernents without the consent of the majority. He was assured that they would be given the opportunity to express their opinions at the public hearing. Conmlissioner Lynn a skeel the Oi ty l\lanager to instruct the Street Cleaning Department to clean accurllUlated pine needles off of Poinsettia street between Papaya and Bayr:1ont Street 8.

He said that the Cit,:,' is faced w:!.th a contest regarding the cater,ory of speculative builders in the Ordinance, which category was added to the Or- dinance with only the definition, IIfrhe construction of buildings for salo"'. He stated that H. H. Baskin, Attorney, has been employed to c'ontest the validity of that def'ini- tion. He stated that their research on it up to date indicates that the Ordinance ia not sufficient on that category. lIe said that the question of what a speculative builder is depends largely upon the individuul interpretation of it. He said that it is his: opinion tha t if tha t ca ter,ory is goinl; to oe ma Inta ined, a specia 1 amendment must be drown to define what a speculative builder is. Ho suggested that if the Ordinance is invalid (and he thinl:s it is) thero is no point in going to Court over it and that the City has the simple remedy of passing an Ordinance which is good rather than wasting its time and I.10nf.;:1 in Court. He said if tho Cit,:r is interested in maintaining the category of speculative builder that the City Attorney should be authorized to prepare a; special ordinance on that subject and brinp, it back to tile next meeting. CO~Eiasioner Black felt that it should be referred to the Occupational License Committee. City Attorneoy- pointed ffilt that license fee has been collected from a good many people under that catego2"'J - contractors who are enr;aged in regular work and speculative building on the side - and that others are standing back to contest the matter. Comnlsaioner Blanton aoked if a new ordinance prope!'lJ' drawn would be legal and bind:l.ng, and City Attorney repl ied tJ:o.a t in his opinion it would be. Conmiss j,oner Lynn :r.lOved too t the City A .ttorney be instructed to draw up an Ordinance relating to the oatego~! of speculative builderS' the wa~{ it should be a t his earliest convenier;ce and present it to the Commission for adoption. Commissioner Blanton seconded the notion, which was voted upon and unanimously carried. City Attorney stated that he would be f~lad to hear fron the Occupational License Connnittee as to their ideas on what the~r want to include in the speculative builders: category. Commissioner Black asked when a man is considered to be a speculative builder. City Attorney replied t:b..a t one cannot classif~! em:' person or firrll as a specula tive builder just because he builds one house or 1.Juil6.in~. He felt they could be so classi... fied only if they Dre in the businessl and he did not think it could be tied to the building permit.. Commissioner Black asl:ec1 whether a person or firn who had purchased occupa tional license to opel:'ate under sor1e other ca tegory r.mst also purc:b..ase occupa tiona..l license for operation as speculat:':.'\to builder. City Attorney replied that they Vlould have to 11B. ve license for each cs tecory under which they operate, no me. tter how many might be involved. " 'I, Commissioner Blanton reportflc for the Court Street Extension Cor:nnittee. He said that he has met vlith the FarHers l',iarkot CO!il!nittee of' the I'lerchants Association and that they Vlere going to hold a 1a ter meeting which they now have heldl and tha tit '"laS re- ported back to the Court stroet COrIDlittee that their group is hopelessly split on the question of the .Farmers Ha rl:et location a nd tho. t this Committee noW' feels it to be necessary to pass a Hesolution declaring the }1r>operty for nse for public purposeSI as there is a paving contractor ready to go to worle there and tcchnica ll~, the City would be trespassing until such Resolution 1s passed u COTiJr1issloner Blanton ata ted tha t he had re- quested the City Attorne':t to prepare such Resolution, ,."h1ch he requested the City Attorney to read. The City Attol"ney read the Resolution. Conullissio~1er Black moved that the Com- mitt.ee's report oe accepted, and tl1B.t Hesolution oe adopted as read by t}le City Attorney decle ring the l.armers 1I1arl{et propert:r to be needed .for use for public purposes. Com- missioner Lynn seconded this motion. Vote was taken and motion unanimously carried. Connnissioner Blanton bronght up the matter of installation of a 411' concrete curb along Mandalay Boulevard on Clearwater Heach in front of the ousiness- houses in the business district as a bWllper to stop cars from parldng with the front end on the slde- walle. The line of demarcation is now marked with a yellow line and nunerous people are being arrested for parlcing with the front end of their cars on or over the sidewalk. The matter was discussed and by consent it was agreed that the City Engineer be instructed to bring to the Conmtisaion at the earliest possible elate cost data on the construction of' such a curb line. Conmliasioner Blanton sa id he felt tha t if the Enc;ineer needs help he felt he should have :tt as he realizes that his burden of work is enormous. Other Com- missioners agreed with him, and said that he is entitled to additional help if he can find qualif~ed persons to do the worl{. .- ----. - _. .. ., j ~~~:,::;~~$:llr&':'~~j:~'~~0J_'~;"';'"""'h"""""'" ':; :~~~(. ,',;p. -l ,-~. .. :"~ .. ~ ~ " .~ '.'

He said that in order to do the job as it had to be done it was necessary to spend an additional $309.40, to eliminate a drainage condition which arose. City Engineer saId it was necessary to increase the length of curbinp; and put more pav- ing in on Hamden Road. On l"ifth street the developer did not consider drainage so Q: little curb was put ln and the streot had to be cut baclc. He said the cost was for the addition of a little more curu and pavinf.:. He said he could not talk to the Conulliasion a s the vlork had to l)e completed once it Via s under way.

November 9, 195] .~ ...' ~~ ;-} :':'" Petition To the City C~~issioners Clearwater, Florida. Gentlemen: At the last meeting of the Conrraission, a motion was made and passed to have the lease committee of the Commission, study the request for renewal of perr.1it to operate out of City Pier by one of the open party boats - o])eroting out of Clearwater for hire. It is with the deepest concern and the utmost respect for the integrity of the com- mittee that we the rest of the Opel] party boats operating out of the City of Clear- water, request that we be heard b~r the conullittee and the Connnission, concerning this matter. Please believe us when we say that should this dock be leased to anyone boat, it would affect all the open party boats in this area. The boat at City dock has en- joyed the privilege of being the only boat at the dock for some time now. This boat has been given that privilege because of the shallow channels, but since that condi- tion does not exist any lonr;er, and it 1s using the same channel that the other boats, operating out of the new Marina are usin~, \'Ie do not feel that this boat should be given the privilege of the City dock, \'lith a 'phone, and an employee on duty from early morning to la te at nir,ht to r:J.eet all of the people first and solicit their busi- ness;: unliJ.::e the boats on the beach that r;et the second change at the business, a,nd where the people can look all the boa ts over a nd melee their choice, with no help from their owners or biased publicity. We feel in all fail'ness, that all boats in the sane business should operate froM. the new Marina that our City has built for that purpose. We pledge ourselves to coopera te wi th the Ci ty Commission in every ....,ay to make this new Marina, its boats and service - the best obtainable in the state of Florida. .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- FLORIDA LEAGUE OF MUNIC::LPALrrrIF..3 P.O.BOX 535 JACKSO!NILLE, FLORIDA TIIIPORTAHT NOTICE To the City Manager or City Clerk: One of the important phases of our convention in Orlando on December a,s and 4 will be the adoption of resolutions by the League.

It is our understanding that you are obliged to do this because of this property having been ceded to the Oi ty of' Olearwa ter a s a park for recreation purposes only. At a meeting of our Board on NoveLl1>er 8th, it Vias voted to write a letter to your honorable body to ask that you def'er action on this matter until after the end of' the winter season. We .feel that to discontinue this :free parking Drea now, just at the beginn1ng of the winter sea son, would be a serious handicap to both merchant:) ond patrons in the down- town business area.

With the coopera tion of' l.lr. Dan:forth and Mr. Dean, safety instructorS' in t he School System, such a school was set up on a purely experimental basis during the month of August 1951. Persons brought into 1I1unicipal Court who appeared to need such instruotion were "'invited" to attend the one hour sessions held in the County Sohool Build:1ng each Thursday during the month. At the last of these sessiona, those in attendance were requested to reduce their observations to writing without s1g~1ng their nanles. The results or this exper~ent proved highly gratifying and prompted this reque st for a continuation or the program. Cont'd next page ,'_ ..f . t1":~!~~~y~p:t:'~\;r ':"':~"Y!':" .

He has submitted to me a proposed course of study which 1s aloo attached and which he is prepared to undertalce. The entire course will consume a min1nnun 01' five hours' per ,month and .for whioH $10.00, per Dlonth would satisf'actorily cover Mr. Dean's particlpe. tlon as instruotor in the program.

He felt they could be so clAssi- fied onlv if �hey are in the business, and he did not think it co.ild be tied to 'she buildin� permit.

It is our undorstandin� that you are obliged to do this because of this property having been ceded to the City of Clearvaater as a park £or recreation purposes only. At a meeting of our Board on Nove�ber 8th, it Y7&9 voted to writa a letter to your honorable body to ask tr� t you defer action on this matter until after the end of the win�er season. S�le feel that to discontinue this free parking area now, just at the beginn3ng of the �vinter season, �roi�ld be a serious handicap to both merchants �nd patrons in the do��n- tovrn business area. By waiting until spring to malce this cl�ange, it will give motori�ts more tirne to flnd other parl�.ng iaaiiities and to become accustomed to the chan ge.

Persons brought infio hSunicipal Court who appearecl t�o need such instruction . were «'invited�' to attend the one hour sessions held in the County School Building each Thursdap during the rnonth. At the last of these sess3ons, those in attendance v�ere requested to recluce their o�servations to v�riting without signing their names.

VJith an expenditure of $'�120.00 per qear, Cleartvater can vJell take the lead in this area� in the rapidly expanding pro�ram of safety consciouaness. With the winter season and its attendant traffic con�;estion approachin;, the need for a system oP instruction in safe driving habits and an awarenes� of the basic rules� oP common courtesy on the road seems almost im�erative.
