The City Manager read a letter from McMullen & Goza, Attorneys, on behalf of
Mr. Gus Drulias, requesting that his lease on the Clearwater Bowling Center be
renewed and stating that he planned to air condition and modernize the building.
Mr. Drulias also requested in the letter a direct lease from the City for the Bay
Drive-In which he now sub-leases from Mr. Paul Johns who has a City lease for the
Clearwater Bay Club which includes the drive-in property. The City Manager stated
that both leases expire March 1, 1953. By consent, it was decided to have another
meeting of the Commission as a whole acting as a Lease Committee to discuss the
matter.
In regard to the bids previously opened for equipment for the new Disposal
Plant in the Skycrest area, the City Manager reported that he joined the City
Engineer and the Superintendent of the Disposal Plant in recommending the acceptance
of the bid of the Chicago Pump Company at '30,654.00. Commissioner Russell moved

The City Manager read a letter from Mr. J. B. Nall which enclosed a plot plan

Attorney for further study.
The City Attorney presented the proposed lease with Mrs. Francena Tyner for
the City property on which the r~niature Golf Course is located, the lease to run
for three years at $75.00 a month. It was the feeling of the Commission that the
property should not be leased at this time for longer than one year. Mr. Howard
Rives, representing ~~s. Tyner, addr~ssed the Commission requesting earnest con-
sideration of granting a lease for a longer term than one year and stated that he
did not feel that his client would be in a position to spend the amount of money
that would be necessary to resurface the course and make the needed improvements
on a one year lease. The matter was then referred to the Lease Committee composed
of the entire Commission.
Regarding the applications of Mr. J. H. Blackburn and Mr. William L. Ward for
permits to engage in the taxi-cab business, the City Attorney explained that
according to the City ordinance, the Commission was to make an investigation
relative to the fitness of the applicants, the fitness of the equipment, and as
to whether the demands of public convenience, necessity and safety justify issuing

within ten days from the date of the order for the City to post the amount of
$8,040.00 which amount is double the Drpraised value of the lots to be condemned
inSide the City. He stated that it was therefore necessary for the check to be
issued before the regular meeting of the Commission and that it was expected that
the City will receive a substantial refund from this check. Commissioner Crown
moved that the City lvtanaeel' 's action in issuing check for ~8,040.00 f'or this
double bond be approved. Motion ~lAS seconded by Commissioner Lynn and carried

Mr. Drulias is interested in negotiating a lease for both of these properties
on the expiration of the present leases. Mr. Drulias further informs us that Mr.
Paul Johns is agreeable to separation of the Clearwater Bay Club lease so as to
permit Mr. Drulias to become a direct lessee of the City.
If a suitable lease could be worked out, Mr. Drulias informs us that he is
willing to make the following improvements with regard to the respective properties:
Bay Drive-in

Install jalousies.
Install rest rooms with facilities separate from Clearwater Bay Club.
Pave a parking area.
Clearwater Bowling Center
1. Air condition premises.
2. Paint, decorate and modernize appearance.
3. Install tile floor.
As evidence of Mr. Drulias' good faith, we wish to point out that he spent
the sum of $lv,OOO.OO in the past year alone in making improvements to the Bowling
Center.
It would be appreciated if you would refer this request to the appropriate
committee and ask tnat they get in touch with us with regard to future negotiations.
Yours respectfully,

that sufficient right-of-i�ray might be secured to conform with the width of the
right-of-way south of Court Street.

Mr. Drulias is interested in negotiating a lease for both of these properties
on the expiration of the present leases. Mr, l�rulias further informs us that Mr.
Paul Johns is agreeable to separation of the Clearwater Bay C1ub lease so as to

Clearwater Bowlin� Center
