The meeting was called to order by the r.1ayor. A delegation of children from
Clearwater Beach attended the meeting and Master Mark Marquardt addressed the
Commission requesting that an area be provided where the children could play
baseball. Commissioner Bates said he knew of only one area, that in the rear of
the Park Inn that might possibly be suitable, an area approximately 100 x 200
feet. After some discussion, it was the conclusion of the members of the Commission
that this was the only site available. Commissioner Bates moved that a Committee
investigate relative to putting a fence on the lot east of the Park Inn and build
necessary fences and back stops for baseball and/or softball if so recommended by
the Committee. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.
The Mayor appointed Commissioner Bates and Commissioner Russell to work with
Eddie Moore, Recreation Director and the City Manager on this matter.
Master Buddy McKearn complained that someone had removed a ladder from the
end of the pier and had stopped the children from diving from the pier. The City
Manager reported that one child had been hurt recently in diving from the pier,
that it was not practical to have both diving and fiShing from the pier. It was
the consensus of opinion that unsupervised diving from the pier should not be
permitted due to the danger involved.
Commissioner Bates for the COlnmittee reported that the Committee favored the
purchase of a ten acre tract in Sec. 12-29-15 from Mrs. Maud Matthews for the use
of light industries and a source of water supply, but that the Committee felt that
the price of $500.00 per acre is in excess of the present market value. The
Committee recommended that the property be bought if it can be had for approxi-
mately $350.00 per acre. Commissioner Strang moved that the Co~nittee's report
relative to the offer of sale of land to the City be accepted and that the Manager
and the City Attorney try to p\~chase the land at the figure mentioned, if the
purchase is possible on that basis, the proper officials be authorized to effect
the purchase. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
Mr. Leo Butler, Engineer for A & W Glads, Inc., appeared before the Commission
in support of the request that the City vacate a utility easement lying west of
the lots in Block A of Skycrest Subdivision, Unit D. Mr. Butler stated that the
utilities had already been installed along each of the streets. The ,City
Engineer said that the meandering nature of the easement made it impractical for
utility installa~ions. Commissioner Bates for the Committee recommended that the
Commission not vacate the easement since there would be no advantage to the City
in so doing. By consent, it was agreed that the report be accepted and that the
City would retain the easement.
Commissioner Bates reported that the Tax Settlement Committee had considered
the offer from the Berner Estate of ~413.91 as settlement in full for 1952 taxes
on the Clearwater Beach Court property. Since the only alternative to acceptance
of the offer was to file suit for collection of the taxes and unpaid rent, the
Committee reluctantly recommended that the offer be accepted. Commissioner Crown
moved that the Committee's recommendation to settle $827.81 taxes on Clearwater
Beach Court site for $413.91 be approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Strang and carried unanimously.
The Mayor stated that the term of Mr. Reade F. Tilley, Chairman of the Civil
Service Board, would expire July 1st, 1953. He had contacted Mr. Tilley and Mr.
Tilley had expressed his willingness to serve another term if appointed.
Commissioner Crown moved that Mr. Tilley be re-appointed to the Board and be
given a vote of appreciation for his services. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Strang and carried unanimously. The Mayor instructed the Clerk to write Mr.
Tilley, informing him of the re-appointment and to express its appreciation far
his services as a Board member.

The City Attorney presented a Resolution adopting a tentative budget for the
fiscal year 1953-54 in the amount of $1,378,049.00, and determining the tax rate
at 4.1 mills for debt service and 7.4 mills for governmental operations, explain-
ing that the budget would have to be advertised within five days and a public
hearing conducted on June 29, 1953, at which time any objections will be heard.
Mr. C. L. Darling addressed the Commission, complimenting them on the fact that
they had maintained a low tax rate for the past several years. Due to the fact
that an exact figure on assessments within the City had not been obtained from
the County Tax Assessor, Commissioner Bates moved that the word "acceptable" be
substituted for the word "correct" in the third paragraph of the Resolution.
Commissioner Bates moved that the Budget Resolution be approved. Motion was
seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously.

In order to settle the condemnation proceedings out of court, Mr. Kabrich's
letter stated that the above properties could be had by the City for the new
appraisal amounts. It was the consensus of opinion that it would not be a good
policy to pay higher amounts for properties to those owners who were not cooperat-
ing, as such a procedure would affect adversely acquirement of properties for
rights-or-way in the future. Commissioner Russell moved that Mr. Kabrich's
letter be accepted and he be informed that the City will not pay any more than
the appraisal amount. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried
unanimously.

by the City Manager. By consent, these items were deferred.
A letter from G. T. McClamma, Chief of Police,addressed to the City Manager
requested that he be granted a leave of absence for one year beginni.ng July 1st.
The City Manager stated that he approved the request but that he would like an
expression from the Commission. The City Attorney explained in detail the legal
points involved and after some discussion, it was moved by Commissioner Crown
that the request of Police Chief McClamma for one year's leave of absence be
approved subject to the action of the Civil Service Board. The motion was seconded
by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.

Mr. Charles M. Phillips, Jr.
City Attorney, City of Clearwater
Bank o~ Clearwater Building
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Phillips:
I have been contacted by the attorneys representin~ both City and County in the
Missouri Avenue condemnation suit and have been requested by them to re-examine
the Parcels that remain unsettled and untried as of this date, with the object
in mind of determining whether it would be to the best interest o~ both County
and City and equitably feasible to raise the amounts for the purpose o~ settling
any of the untried and unsettled Parcels.
Parcel 19, owners Alice M. Edmondson and John Edmondson, Lot 6t Block F, Carolina
Terrace Subdivision; the County appraisal was $50.00, and I believe that to be
fair to all concerned the Parcel could be settled for $100.00.
Parcel 23, owner Oweda Sinclair, Lots 9, 10 and 11, Block Ct Carolina Terrace
Subdivision; originRl appraisal $1,725.00 and on this Parcel I believe t~at it
could feasibly be raised to $2,250.00 for settlement.
Parcel 26, owners Dallas Young and wife, Lots 4 and 5, Block C of Carolina
Terrace Subdivision; appraisal $150.00. I believe that this Parcel could be
raised to $250.00 for immediate settlement.
Parcel a, owner Minnie Deuell, Lot 22, Block J, Lakeview Heights' original
appraisal $50.00. I believe this could ~easibly be settled for $100.00, but
suggest that no settlement be Inade until such time as an anticipated sale of
this property by Mrs. Deuel1 to a Mr. and Mrs. McMullen is closed.

The meeting was called to �rder by the P:ayor. A delegation of children from
Clearv�ater Beach a�tended the meeting and Master Mark Marquardt addressed the
Commission requasting �hat an area be provided where the children could play
baseball. Commissioner Bates said he knew of only one area, that in the rear of`
the Park Inn that might possibly be suitable, an area approximately 100 x 200
feet. After some discussion, it was tha conclusion of the members of the Commission.
that this was the only si�e available. Gammissioner Bates moved that a Committee
investigate relative to putting a fence on the lot ea�t of the Park Inn and build
necessary fences and back stops for baseball and/or softball if so recommended by
the Committea. Motion tivas seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.
The Mayor appointed Commissioner Bates and Commissioner Russell to work with
Eddie Moore, Recreation Director and the City Manager on this matter.
Master Buddy McKearn complained that someone had removed a ladder from the
end of the pier and had stopped the children from diving from the pier, The City
Manager reported that one child had been hurt recently in diving from the pier,
that it was not practical to have both diving an� fi.shing from the pier. It was
tha consensus of opinion that unsupervisPd �3ivir�g from the pi�r should not be
permitted due to the danger involved. .
Cozunissioner Bates for the Committes reportEd th.at the Committee favored the
purchase of a ten acre tract in Sece 12-29-15 from Mrs. Niaud Mattnews foi• the use
of light industries and a source oi water supply, but that thp Commit�ee .felt thav
the price of �$500oQ0 per acre is in excess of the present mar-ket value. 2`ne
Committee recommended that th.e property be bought if it can be had for approxi-
matsly �350.00 per acre. Cominissioner Strang moved that the Committee�s report
relative to the offer of sale of land to the City be accepted ar.d that the Manager
and the City Attorney try to p�zrchase the land at the figure mentioned, if the
pux°cha�e is possible on that basis, the proper officiala be authorized to effect
the purchase. i�otion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously,
Mr. Leo Butler, Engineer for A& W Glads, Inc., appeared before the Gommiss��n
in support of the request that the City vacate a utility easement lying west of
the lots in Block A of Skycrest Subdivision, Unit D. Mr. Butler stated that the
utilities had already been installed along each of the streets. The City
Enginear said that the meandering nature of the easement made it impractical for
utility installations. Commissioner Bates for the Committee recommsnd�d tha� the
Commission nat vacate the easement since there would be no advantage to the Gity
in so doing. By consent, it was agreed *hat the report be accepted and that the
City would retain the easement.
Commissi.oner Bates reported that �h� Tax 5ettlement Committee had considered
the offer from the Berner Esta�e of �1�13.91 as settlement in full for 1952 taxea
on the Clearwater Beach Court property. Since the only alternative to acceptance
of �he offer was to file suit for collection of the taxes and unpaid rent, the
Committee re�uctantly recommended that the offer be accepted. Qommissioner Grown
moued that the Committeets x^ecommendation i;o settle �$2'].$1 taxes on Clearwater
Beach Court site far �4]-3.91 be approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Strang and carried unanimously.
The Mayor stated that the term of Mr. Reade F. Tilley, Chairman of the Civil
Service Board, would expire July lst, 1953. He had contacted Mr. Tilley and t�Ir.
Tilley had expressed his willingness to :,erve another term if appointed.
Commissioner Crown rnoved that iKr. Tilley be re-appointed to the Board anci be
given a vote of appreciation for his services. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Sbrang and carried unanimously. The biayor instructed the Clerk to write Mr.
Tillsy, informing hfm of the re-a�pointment and to express its appreciata.on f or
his services as a Board member.
- The City Atborney presented a Resolution adopting a tentative budget for the
fiscal year 1953-54 in the amount o£ �1a37$,o49.00, and determining the tax rate
at �..1 mills far debt service and 7.4 mills for gavernmental operations, explain-
ing that the budget would have +�o be advertised wi�hin five days and a public
hear:ing canducted on June 29, 195:, at which time any objections will be heard.
Mr. ��� I,, Darling addressed the Commission, compl:.menting them on the fact that
they had maintained a l�w tax rate for the past several years. L`ue to the fact
that an exact figure on assessments ;rrithin the City had not bEen abtained from
the County Tax Assessor, Commissioner Bates mpved that the word TMacceptablei� be
sub;�ta.tuted for the �rord "correctTM in the third paragraph of the Resoluti�n.

Dear idr. Phillips:
June 16, 1953
I have been contacted by the attorneys representing both City and County in the
I�tissouri Avenue condemnation suit and have been requested by them to re-examine
the Parcels that remain unsett�ed and untried as of this dat�, with the object
in mind of determining whether it would bs to the best interest of both County
and Gity and equitably feasible to raise the amounts f or the purpose of settling
any of the untried and ur.settl�d Parcels.
Parcel 19, owners Alice N. Edmondson and John Edmondson, Lot 6, Block F, Carolina
Terrace Subdivision; the County appraisal was �50.00, and I belie�re that to bP
fair to all concerned the Parcel would be settled for $�100�00.
Parcel 23, bwner Oweda Sinclair, Lots 9, 10 and 11, Block C, Carolina Terrace
Subdivision; ori�inal appraisal �1,725.00 and on this Parcel I believe that it
could feasibly be raised to $�2,250.00 for settlement.
Parcel 26, owners Dallas Young and wife, Lots L� and 5, Alock C of Carolina
Terrace Subdivision; appraisal �150.00. I believe that this Parcel could be
raised to �250.00 for immediate settlement.
Parcel $, owner Minnie Deuell, Lot 22, Blo�k J, Lakeview Heights• original
appraisal �$50.00. I believe this could feasibly be settled for �Z00.00, bttt
suggest that no settlement be made until such time as an anticipated sale of
this property by Mrs. Deuell to a Mr. and Mrs. McNIullen is closed.
