The Mayor callAd the meetin~ to order and announced that Item l-C concerning
the Ordinance cont,rolline si ze of under~;round gasoline storage tanks was placed on
the agenda in error as the motion at the meeting of June 2nd deferred the matter
until t~ ne~t regulnr meetinG. By consent, the Commission agreed to defer the
item until the next re~ular meeting, June 16th.
The MRyor stated that there was one item not included on the agenda which
because of the time element involved was urgent and suegested that it be considered
at this time wi th the consent of the Commission. He explained that it was the
request o~ Mr. William R. Gunby for a le~se on the City park property, formerly
used by WSUN radio station, adjacent to the west entrance to Courtney Carrpbell
Ca\.tseway. He stat ed r.lr. Gunby needed a c ont ingen t le ase on R certain piece of
property in order to file an application with the Federal Co~nunications Commission
in Washington, D.C., by July 1st for a television station for the Clearwater area.
Mr. Gunby was present to answer questions concerning the lease and stated that if
conditions worked out as favorably as he anticipated, he expected to have the station
operating by February, 1953. 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.
Commissioner Crown moved that the portion of the site previously used by Station WSUN
be leased to Mr~ W. R. 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. That the station ~o on the air as a Clearwater, Florida, station;
Subject Eurther to the approval of the terms of this lease by the City Attorney;
Providing further that the St~ of $600.00 be raid to the City to be applied to
the last year's rent.
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.
Commissioner Crown accepted the amendment. Upon the vote being taken, the motion
was carried unanimously.

Avenue right-o~-way prepared by Mr. Leon Whitehurst, Assistant to the County Attorney,
in which it was requested that land descriptions as carried in the City's Resolution
of March 4, 1952, be corrected. On being questioned, the City Engineer stated that
the descriptions as set forth in the Resolution submitted by the County had been
checked by his office and found to be correct; Commissioner Blanton moved that the
Resolution be adopted and passed and that the City Attorney be instructed to deliver
same to the County Cornrnission and urge that they take immediate action Tuesday

carried unanimously.
The Mayor suggested that the C~ty Attorney prepare a Resolution setting out

Court Street between Greenwood and Missouri Avenue which was the City's commitment
with the County and the State Highway Commission and that the Resolution express
the desire of the City Commission for the early completion of the jllissouri Avenue-
Court Street project. Cor.unissioner Blanton moved the adoption of t he Resolution as
stated and that the City Attorney be instructed to draw the Resolution relative to
the completion of the Court Street project. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Crown and carried unanimously.

Dear Francis:-
May 20th, 1952
I represent 111r'. Lyman W. Young ana Mr. \~illiam A. Stanton ''lho 'reside adjacent
to each other. 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. I will
appreciate it if you ''fill advi.se me when you have given your approval and instructed
Mr. Lickton to proceed with the sewer, as I then want to go ahead and complete the
transaction between Mr. Young and Mr. Stanton. '
