The City Engineer recommended accepting the low bid of Stanfield Construction
Company. Comwissioner Russell moved that the bid of the Stanfield Construction
Company be accepted in the amount of $9,292.50 and that the 40 days completion date
be adhered to. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Lynn and carried unanimously.
In view of the fact that the Wallace-Tiernan Company was the only bidder on
the chlorinator for the new Disposal Plant, Commissioner Lynn asked Mr. Rape.
Superintendent of the Disposal Plant, for his recommendation. Mr. Rape stated that
since other equipment from the same company was giving satisfactory performance at
present, he would recommend accepting this bid in the amount of $4,559.00.
Commissioner Lynn moved that Mr. Rape's recommendation be accepted and that this
bid be allowed and let to the Wallace-Tiernan Company of Newark, New Jersey. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously.
The City Engineer reported that the sewage pump on Clearwater Beach needs to
be elevated and requested authority to build a little "dog house" (12' x 6') over
the present site at an approximate cost of $1,400.00 to bring the pump out of the
water so that the pump will not be flooded out in the storm season. Mr. Rape con-
curred in the Engineer's recommendation. Commissioner Crown moved that the City
Engineer's recommendation to raise the sewage pump be approved. Motion was
seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
The City Engineer reported on the work remaining to be done on the Marina and
estimated the cost of the paving for the Marina area at approximately $24,000.00.

Marina area,. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
The City Manager reported that he had investigated and found the bid of ~tr.
L. G. Abbett on comprehensive liability insurance for the City fleet to be a bona
fide bid based on the compilation of loss experience for the time his company
carried the City insurance previously. Commissioner Lynn moved that the L. G.
Abbett Insurance Company be awarded this bid. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Russell and carried unanimously.
The City Manager stated that he had secured quotations for a six months supply
of brass fittings for the Gas and Water Department from various manufacturing con-
cerns. He reported that the lowest quotation was submitted by the A. Y. McDonald
Manufacturing Company at $1,550.00 and recommended that it be accepted. Commissioner
Crown moved that the City Manager's recommendation be approved. Motion was seconded
'by Commissioner Lynn and carried unanimously.
The City Attorney submitted a revised draft of the proposed agreement with Mr.
A. Waller Smith for development of the property in the Municipal Dock area and west
of Pierce Boulevard. It was suggested that the agreement be revised by adding
Paragraph 7 as follows:
"In order to deepen the City's harbor in the area adjacent to and northerly
of the improvement to be accomplished hereunder, which harbor also surrounds the
present City dock lying north of said improvement. Mr. Smith hereby agrees to
dredge such material from said harbor as is reasonable according to the reasonable

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
July 28, 1952
" ,1
,<,
The City Attorney presented for the Commission's consideration a Resolution
which would vacate that unused part of Pierce Street which lies south of the south
line of Lot 5, Block A, Davey's Subdivision, extended and west of the present
right-of-way of Pierce Boulevard. Commissioner Lynn moved the adoption of the
Resolution. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
The City Attorney reported that it was necessary that Mr. Leo Butler, acting
as agent for Mr. A. Waller Smith, have a letter from the City of Clearwater to
present to the Internal Improvement Board, indicating the intention of the City
to vacate that portion of Pierce Street adjoining Mr. Smith's property on the
south, as the Internal Improvement Board will not sell submerged properties to
anyone except the owner of the wjoining uplands. Commissioner Crown moved that
the Mayor be authorized to sign such a letter. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
In compliance with the request of Mr. Vito A. Tagarelli, owner and developer
of Tagarelli Subdivision, the City Attorney submitted a Resolution to vacate that
portion of Evergreen Street lying south of the south line of Franklin Street. It
was pointed out during the discussion that this street would dead-end at the site
of the St. Cecelia Catholic School and would have no value as a north-south
through street. The Mayor inquired if anyone in the audience had any objections
to the vacating of this street. There being none, it was moved by Commissioner
Crown that the Resolution as read be adopted, seconded by Commissioner Russe1l
and carried unanimously.
The City Attorney requested an expression from the Commission as to what
restrictions should be included in an Ordinance amending Ordinance 592, the Sign '
Ordinance, and instructions as to how "owner identification signs" should be defined,
also the location and size of such signs. After discussion by the Commission, the
Mayor appointed Commissioners Crown and Lynn to act as a Committee to determine if
it is desirable to limit the size of owner identification signs in the R-2 area
and make any other recommendations the Committee considers desirable.
Members of the Commission expressed themselves as favoring the request of the
City Engineer and the Superintendent of the Disposal Plant to make a trip to
Panama City and Pensacola to inspect modern sewage disposal plants in those cities.
There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting
adjourned at 9:17 P.M.
