The City Attorney read the proposed le~se to the Commi ssi on. Duri.ng the disc uss ion, it was suggested by Commissioner Blanton that the lease should require the name of Clearwater to be part of the call letters of the station, and in the event of an assignment of the lease, the agreement shall be binding upon the assignees. Mr. Gunby agreed to this provision. The members of the Commission suggested various other amendments which were noted by the City Attorney.

Gunby ~nct Associates in accordance with the terms of the lease submitted to the City Attorney subject to the changes specified vdth respect to: Section A. Cancellation of the lease if no Hction is forthcoming within one year on the aFplication; Section 8.

Commissioner Lynn seconded the motion. In summing up the motion, the Mayor suggested the following change or amendment: That Mr. Gunby shall have the first three years rent free; that he will upon the signing of the lease pay ~600.00 in cash to the City Treasurer; in the event that this property (agreement) 90es on for the term of two years -- one ye,ar to get his permit and one yeAr to eet ,the station) in operation, if he does not go into operation, the $600.00 will ue forfeited; if he does GO into operation, he will have the $600_00 to apply on his fourth year as rent, which will be paid in advance, and he will begin his fi~th year by paying ~50.00 a month rent; if Mr. Gunby's applica- tion is denied wi.thin six months of Ju~y 1st, he will not forfeit the $600.00. if the application is denied after the six months' period, he will forfeit the $600.00.

Mr. Young is sellin~ a part of his property to Mr. Stanton, and it was agreed bet'tleen them that a ten foot easement would be given to the City for the installation of a storm sewer which, as I understand it, will drain a portion of Mr. Young's property and a portion of f.lr. Stanton's property. You may be familiar with this situation, and at any rate Mr. Lickton is familiar with it. I enclose herewi th a grant of easement duly executed by Mr. and Mrs. Young. If you find this in proper order I presume you will pass it along to Mr. Lickton and direct him to proceed with the installation of the storm sewer.
