Commissioner Strang moved that the Resolution be adopted as read. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. The City Attorney brought up the matter as to whether the City should require per~ormance bonds to cover contracts in amounts less than 15,000.00. He pointed out that the cost of the bond was based on a certain percentage or the face value of the bond which cost would be passed on to the City in the contract. Commissioner Strang commented that in cases where bond is required the contractor had to put up a considerable amount o~ surety with the bonding company and this was not always practj.cable for the small contractors. Commissioner Bates inquired as to whether or not the City had lost any moner on contracts through not having surety bonds and the City Attorney and the City Eng neer reported that there had been no loss but that had been largely a matter ot luck. Commissioner Bates suggested that the City be its own insuror in the matter of contracts under $5,000.00, pointing out that the amount of Eees which the City would pay, directly or indirectly, would soon amount to enough to take care of any loss the City might sustain through small contracts. The Commission discussed the matter of rates to be charged ~or all day parking in the parking lot on North Osceola Avenue. By consent, the matter was referred to the Chief of Police for study and recommendation. , 1 ! 1 , : t , j i , , I j i 1 1 j \, ,:',:', ;',,, ." \ I. ,."""",A, I, I":'~"'"'' I" ">~,:;',,l,:. t",..~~,,;, .

Commissioner Russell moved that the lease not be renewed and that the lessee be so notified. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. r . ! The City Attorney read the proposed Ordinance 632 regulating new plats and subdivisions as to the type of improvements to be required before approval of the plats, in accordance with Chapter 27463, Acts of 1951 Legislature of the State of Florida. Commissioner Crown moved that Ordinance 632 be passed on its first reading as read. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The City Attorney stated he could not give a complete report on the matter of the proposed new Berner lease since he had not been able to obtain a survey from the surveyor of the proposed site near the new Municipal Pier, and also he had not ascertained in whose name the proposed lease was to be made. Commissioner Bates said it was the feeling of the Committee that the termination of the current lease should not be contingent upon the granting of any new lease but that each should be considered as a separate item. Mr. Berner was present and requested, since his attorney was ill and unable to appear before the Commission at this time. that the matter of terminating his current lease on the Clearwater Beach Court property be deferred to the next regular meeting of the Commission. By consent. the Commission deferred the matter to the next meeting. In introducing the discussion on the proposed Water Tank Park playground, the Mayor pointed out that while there was money in the budget for park development, there was no money budgeted for supervision of new playgrounds. He suggested that the City set up an organized plan for developing the playground areas in the entire City. The City Attorney read a letter from the Clearwater Beach Association repeating their request that a playground area be created in Water Tank Park for children of primary age. Regarding the Water Tank Park playground. the City Manager estimated it would cost $10,148.50 to clear the site, fence in the area and build a sandwall on the west side. For the improvements to the Youth Maritime Center which would include building a seawall at the end of Clearwater Street, removing the old wooden dock. and filling the east side of the property. he estimated the cost at about $8,000.00 and stated this would create a playground area 75 x 250 feet. Mrs. Clifford McKay spoke for the Clearwater Beach Association asking that the Water Tank Park area be designated as a playground for children from four to nine years old. Mr. Lloyd Phillips addressed the Commission on behalf of his clients. the owners of the property adjoining Water Tank Park, objecting to having the playground located in the park as it would detract from the value of the rental units and recommending that the playground be located on the Youth Maritime Center property. Mr. Charles Kerekes, Mrs. Katheryn Wilcox, Mr. W. E. Eigenmann and Mr. Clifford McKay also addressed the Commission on the subject. Commissioner Bates speaking for the Committee recommended that definite action be taken with reference to one of these areas at this time and that an attempt be made to see what can be done about getting equipment and supervision; then after that was accompliShed, take up the second project and Bee how it can be incorporated with the supervision, etc., ot the first playground. He recommended that the Youth Maritime Center area be develored first since there has been no objection to it. In answer to Commissioner Crown's query, the Mayor reported that the Trustees of the Youth Maritime Center had approved the plans for the fill and the seawall. The Mayor suggested that the Clearwater Yacht Club be contacted to see if they would permit use of part of their leased land to help in the project. Commissioner Bates moved that the Commission declare its intention to set aside both these areas as playgrounds; tha~ we further actively move in the direction at this time of developing the Youth Maritime Center; and at budget time when we get around to a playground director here in this area, we then look at the Water Tank Park and see how the two can be fit together. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The Mayor recommended that Mr. William McClarnand, Jr., be appointed to the Plumbers Examining Board as Journeyman Plumber, to replace Mr. Guy Clark who has resigned. Commissioner Strang moved that Mr. William McClarnand, Jr., be appointed to the Board for the prescribed term. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. It was recommended by the Mayor that Mr. Joe Daniels be appointed to the Electrical Contractors Examining Board to replace Mr. Arthur Holsomback whose term has expired. Commissioner Strang moved that Mr. Joe Daniels be appointed for the prescribed term. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The Mayor asked that the matter of appointing members to the Building Contractors Examining Board be deferred to the next meeting. Relative to the proposal of Messrs. Billet and Williams to sell to the City submerged lands south of the Causeway, Mr. Billet stated that there were approxi- mately 34i acres and that the asking price was $68,000.00. The Mayor asked Mr. Billet if they would consider a trade of this area for the Stevenson Creek land with a cash consideration. Mr. Billet said that they would want $40.000.00 cash ~or the property in addition to the acreage in Stevenson Creek. In response to a question by the Mayor, Messrs. Billet and Williams stated that they would develop the Stevenson Creek area in accordance with their last proposal to the Commission and that they would provide a park area but not one as large as was incorporated in the original plans. Mr. William McKenzie addressed the Commission on behalf of his clients, Mr. William H. Wolfe and others. opposing any trading of the Stevenson Creek property or any development of the property other than as a park area with provision for docking small boats. Commissioner Russell moved that the City Commission have an executive meeting with Mr. Williams and Mr. Billet and see if an agreement can be reached relative to the Stevenson Creek property and the purchase ot submerged property south or the Causeway. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. ! i ~ " i , v I I '.~ ,. ..... 'i - ...., I~'" .'........ (~ ..'. . . :t...

By consent, the matter was deferred. The City Manager reported that the Treasurer had requested authority to transfer $40,000.00 from the Cigarette Tax Fund to the General Fund. Commissioner ~rown moved that the City Manager be authorized to transfer $40,000.00 from the Cigarette Tax Fund to the General Fund in accordance with the law so provided. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. Mr. O. S. Albritton, Jr., attorney for Mr. William L. Ward, and Mr. Alex D. Finch, attorney for Mr. J. H. Blackburn, submitted statements to the Commission they had secured testifying to inadequate taxi service in support of their applica- tions to operate more taxicabs. Mr. Ben Krentzman. attorney for Mr. George Ware, submitted forty letters that he had secured from hotels, restaurants and individuals in which it was stated that the taxi service now being furnished was satisfactory and adequate. Commissioner Crown sug~ested that the Mayor appoint representatives from the Commission possibly the City Manager and the City Attorney to inquire further into the matter from the six or eight major users of taxi service (the railroad companies and the hotels). The City Attorney requested that he be excused from this Committee since he had represented Mr. George Ware previously. Commissioner Bates moved that the Mayor request the City Manager and anyone or the Commission to check the sources indicated by Mr. Crown and ask them only one question "Is the cab service that is now supplied satisfactory?" Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The City Manager reported that he had prepared an application to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad for permission for the City to extend the storm sewer lines one block along the railroad right-of-way in the South Garden area. He stated he received no reply until Mr. Sapp. the local agent for the railroad, brought in a ' letter from Mr. Kennedy, one of the general superintendents, saying that permission could be granted provided the City would sign the necessary permit to construct the sewer on the Coast Line property but the permit was not attached to the letter. The ,City Manager said that he had asked the City Engineer to prepare an alternate plan (sketches of which were presented to the Commissioners) which would take the sewer line to the one in front of the Park Terrace Grill and then connect with the 18 inch sewer line now on Haven Street, estimated cost $4,500.00. Commissioner Crown moved that the Commission authorize the City Manager with the Mayor's approval to take this other aaternative if unable to secure the necessary permission from the Atlantic Coast Line without bringing the matter back to another meeting~ Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The City Manager submitted a sketch showing a typical ~sectlon of the proposed improvements 'to Mandalay Boulevard between Causeway Boulevard and Acacia Street which would include resurfacing, parking space and general beautification with planting space for trees, etc. The sketch provided for two traffic lanes, two parking lanes, curb and sidewalk. The City Engineer reported that the drainage problem in that area was serious and would require further study. By consent, the City Engineer was instructed to bring back an estimate to the Commission which would show the cost of resurf~cing of the present pavement, fill, sidewalk and curbing separately. Commissioner Bates reporting for the Committee on the Baymont Street Right-of-Way stated that the original plat of Clearwater Beach Subdivision was not clear as to whether Baymont right-of-way was 40 feet or 80 feet and the Replat of Clearwater Beach Subdivision, Blocks 9, 10 and 11, shows an 80 foot street. He reported that since there was a precedent for reducing the 80 foot width to a smaller dimension in that area, the Committee recommended that the City vacate the north fifteen feet of Baymont Street to the Goodman Hotel Corporation from Mandalay Boulevard west with the understanding that a five foot set-back would apply. Commissioner Crown moved that the Committee's report be accepted and that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare the proper papers vacating fifteen feet on the north side of Baymont Street subject to a five foot set-back for building and that the proper officials be authorized to execute same. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang, and carried. Commissioner Russell voted "No". Commissioner Bates asked to be excused at this time 6:50 P.M. Mr. F. G. Nelson addressed the Commission requesting that he be permitted to meet with the Commission in executive session to discuss his proposal contained in a letter, copies of which were submitted to each Commissioner, relative to leasing certain City-owned land in City Park Subdivision. There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 6:55 P.M. ~: i~t1 ; ,- t: ~',..., , ' " ~ '..'.. .. , I r",,"'t '," ,"", . f .:::~~:~u~ .~~ .~){:r~ ' f'" ,."1'.' t";;' ;"1" .~, "". i::;::~f'~,~8}!:;?!~:': ...., "'''''''' ,... , I :~::':::\j,.:':~:!:i?r::'," ,. ,,-' , ". ~ " ." . :'.

Mr�. Clifford McKay spoke for the Cls�rwatsr Beach Association askir_g tha� the Water Tank Park area be designated as a piayground for children from four to nine pears old. Mr. Lloqd Phillips addressed the Gommission on behalf of his ci.ients, the owners of the property adjoining Water Tank Park, objecting to havir_g the playgraund located in the park as it would detract from the value of the rental units and recom.�nending that the playground be located on the Youth Ma�itime Certer property. Mr. Charles Kerekes, Mrs. Katheryn Wilcox, Mr. W. E. Eigezu�ann and Mr. Clif£ord McKay also addressed the Comniission on the subject. Commissioner Bates speaking for the Committee recommended tihat definite action be taken with raferenee to one of these areas at this time and that an attempt be made to see what can be done about getting equipment and supervi�ion; ther. after that eaas accomplished, take up �he second project and see how it can be incnrporated with the supervisian, etc., of th� first playground. He recommended tha� the Youth �arit3.me Center area be de�eloped first since there has been no o'bjection to it. In answer to Commissioner Crown's query, the Mapor reported that the Trustees of the Youth I�laritime Center had approved the plans for the fill arid the sea�vall, �he Mayor suggested that ths Cl�arwater Yacht Club be contacted to �ee if they would permit use of part of ';heir leased land ta help i�.the projec�. Commissiener Bates moved that the Commiss�en declare its in�ention to se�: aside both these �reas as playgrounds; that we further actiti�ely move in the direction at this t�.me of developing the Youth s`��ritime Cen�tar; and at budget time when we get around to a playground direcfor here in this area, we then look at tl�e PJater Tank Park and see how the t�ro can be fit toget;ier� Motion waa seconded by Commission�r Strang and carx•ied unanimousZy.
