CITY COMMISSION MEETING June 22, 1953 The City Commission of the City of Clearwater, Florida, met in special session at City Hall Monday, June 22nd, 1953, at 1:30 P.M., with the following members present: ,..'.... e e . . . . .

Strang, Jr. Mayor-Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner Also present were: F. C. Middleton Charles M. Phillips, Jr. Donald Genung Sidney Lickton City r.1anager City Attorney Asst. Chief of Police City Engineer 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. ! ie j'.: I i, I ,.,.l.....;~:.' I; '",j::;">k~~~;': , [> 'i",i,<r;~ 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. .. __~~~_~\.)IIr _.'

Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The City Attorney presented Ordinance #639 which ordinance declares the annexation of Betty Lane Heights Subdivision, Plnebrook Highlands Subdivision, and part of McVeigh Subdivision into the corporate limits of the City. The City Attorney read Ordinance #639 in full. Commissioner Crown moved that Ordinance #6.39 be passed on its first reading. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. Commissioner Crown moved that Ordinance #639 be considered on its second reading by title only with the unanimous consent of the Commission. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. The City Attorney read Ordinance #639 by title only. Commissioner Strang moved that #639 be passed on its second reading by title only. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. W. R.

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. Regarding the bid for .3200 feet of cast iron pipe, the City Manager recommended the No.5 bid of the Davis Meter Co., Thomasville, Georgia, be approved. The price per foot is $2.41. Commissioner Crown moved that the City Manager's recommendation be approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. Item 2F was deferred until the meeting of June 29tp. The bids for the deep well turbine pump and water main booster pump, Items .3B and .3C will be recommended at the meeting June 29th according to a statement 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. .. 'l...,.._. ~,1\ ' 1'~;t~I~; \!i!~~~: " .." ..''' ~ ( . :',' ,.', ,". ~('t ' .. .

Adjournment --------------------------------------------------------------------------~----- June 16, 1953 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. - ..~~------ ..; . .,' ,e , ','1' ,'" .. ~ " ':,.; ", .,' ::\'.' ~ ' 'e 'e :: e ee e ,e e e Ii " : I , ,', I e \ , I . .,' " . . ~\~\.i~~~~;ti.!',. .' .

Phillips, Jr� City Attorneys Gitv of Ciearwater Bank of Clearwater Building Clearvrater, Florida 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.
