The City Engineer explained the detai~s of the project and stated that in addition to the installa- tion of sanitary sewer lines, the project would require a lift station, that the cost per lot including the cost of the lift station would be approximately $2~O.OO on the property inside the City limits. Any installations outside the City limits would be covered by a sewer main extension contract and must be paid in advance before the project is started. The Mayor asked if there were any objections to the improvement and no objections were m::!de. Comrni:-;sioner Crown moved that since there were no objections, the sanitary sewer project coverin~ one block in Palm Terrace, Betty Lane Heights, Pinebrook Hiehlands, and a part of Pinebrook Subdivision be approved and the City Manager be authorized to advertise for bids. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. /" " ,,;<<:i~ '::}~':~);:, 'r"::3 "'''' . , ' ..;::;J....... ~ " '..~~:/~ '... . . . ;'}';'':'j'5'/ , " "i}1.)~ ,', ,;" .1 - .1'.

Commi:.=isioner Crown moved that the City M:mager be authorized to prepare and submit a contract for the part of Betty Lune Heights Subdivision outside the City limits covered by the project whereby they will pay in advance approximately $6,000.00 on the lift station. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The Mayor announced a continuation of the Public Hearing adjourned April 20th regarding proposed installation of sanitary sewers in the area north of Stevenson Creek and west of the A.C.L. railroad tracks. The Commission heard a report from Mr. W. E. Dunn and Mr. J. W. Wakefield of the Florida State Health Department relative to the ground water condition and pol~ut#ion of Stevenson C~eek and Clearwater Bay. They submitted a map showing aI'eas where ground water conditions were the worst. According to Mr. Wakefield, even those places where the septic tanks are now working satisfactorily might constitute a health menace as the area becomes more densely populated or as the ground water level continues to rise. With the recommendation that the City take immediate action to install sanitary sewers in the Sunset Point section, Mr. Donald B. Co~hran called attention to the fact that the effluent from three septic tanks on Sunset Point Road were the main sources of pollution in Stevenson Creek and Clearwater Bay. Th~ effluent from these septic tanks is connected with the out~fall line between the Sewage Disposal Plant and Clearwater Bay and is not subjected to any treatment. Mr. George B. Chalfont stated that he had in his posseSSion a petition signed by ninety-three residents of the Edgewater area opposing the installation of any sanitary sewer. The Mayor suggested that tho Engineering Department prepare a survey and estimate of cost in eliminating the direct pollution of Clearwater Bay and ~tevenson Creek and the City's share of transporting sewage across Stevenson Creek to the Disposal Plant. Commissioner Russell came in at this time -- ~:OO P.M. Commissioner Strang moved that the Public Hearing be adjourned to Monday, July 20th. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously. A letter addressed to the City Commission by the City Attorney reported that he had attended a hearing before U. S. Department of Labor, at Jacksonville, a hearing held to determine whether laborers laying pipe should receive $1.00 per hour as pipe layers or whether it should require that all pipe be laid at plumbers' rates which are approximately $2.75 per hour. He stated that the Government's representatives were obviously inclined towards the increased wage scale and expressed favoritism toward those unions applying for the increase. He pointed out that such an action would seriously affect ann increase the cost of any government aid projects the City mi~t have in tpe future. The letter is set out ih the following pages of these minutes and by reference made a part hereof. The City Attorney attached a statement for services rendered and expenses in the amount of $91.6$. COlnmissioner Strang moved that the letter from the City Attorney be accepted and that he be compensated for his expenses. Motion wa,s seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously. The City Attorney read the Resolution which would dedicate streets in the Fleetwood Apartment area. The members of the Commission were of the opinion that the Resolution was not acceptable as read and it was agreed to defer action until the Resolution can be re-written so as to define more clearly the right-of-way of Fleetwood and Emerson Avenues and also to define more clearly the City's obligation to resurface and maintain those streets. The City Manager recommended the installation of 600 feet of six inch water main and 600 feet of two inch water main in Pinebrook Highlands, estimated cost $2,500.00, check for which is on file from the developer, on the usual refunding contract. Commissioner Strang moved that the City Manager's recomulendation be accepted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. It was recommended by the City Manager that 250 feet of six inch water main extension be installed on Palmetto Street at an estimated cost of $700.00. Commissioner Russell moved that this utility item be approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The City Manager recommended that a six inch water main extension for Highland Pines be installed at an estimated cost of $2,000.00, check for Which is on file from the developer. This water main extension had been held up until the water shortage eased. Commissioner Strang moved that the restriction on the Highland Pines Subdivision water main extension be lifted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried. Commissioner Crown did not vote~ r ,',:-.'"''

Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The City Attorney read a letter written by him reporting that the case of Elaine Little vs. City of ClenrvJater had been settled according to the agreement which was approved at a former meetin.~ of the Commission. He enclosed his statement for $500.00 for his services in connection with the matter. Commissioner Cro\'m moved that ~~r. Phillips' bill in connection with the Little vs. City of Clearwater case be approved. I-1otion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The City Attorney reported that he had received an offer of settlement from the State Road Department relative to the property leased to Frank H. Latimer. According to the offer, the City would quit claim deed the east 100 feet of the 308 feet claimed by the State Road Department to the State Road Department sub- rogated to the City's interest in the Latimer lease, the tenant to remain in occupancy; the State Road Department would then quit claim to the City the west 208 feet of the property in dispute. The State Road Department suggested that the City pay $500.00 toward the cost of attorneys' fees. The City Attorney stated that the City by accepting this offer would dispose of the State Road Department's claim of a 500 foot right-of-way in this area affecting City-owned park property. Commissioner Crown moved l~hat the Latimer case vs. State of Florida be settled if possible by an exchange of quit claim deeds whereby the City will quit claim to the State the Lntimer site subject to a transfer of the Latimer lease and that the State will quit claim to the City of Clearwater all property west of the Latimer site and in question in this matter, including the old radio station site, and that the proper City officials be authorized to execute and accept such settlement and deed. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. Co~nissioner Strang left the meeting at this time -- 4:40 P.M. The City Clerk reported that he had been informed by Mr. W. R. Kabrich that the heirs of the M. Harvey Estate were willing to sell to the City Lot 1 and the east 11 feet of the north 61.1 feet of Lot 2, Block 1, W. F. Hughey's Subdivision, for the sum of ~2,750.00. This sum would include the two houses located on the property and according to Mr. Kabrich, enougp land would remain over the amount required for right-of-way to permit the houses to be turned around and used. Commissioner Crown moved that the proper City officials be authorized to execute the purchase of Lot 1, and the east 11 feet of the north 61.1 feet of Lot 2, Block 1, W. F. Hughey Subdivision, for the price of $2,750.00, this price t~ include all buildings presently on this property. Motion was seconded by vommissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The City Manager presented a Resolution which would require twenty-four property owners to clean their lots of weeds, grass and underbrush. Commissioner Crown moved chat the Lot Mowing Resolution be adopted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. , {l.," . ,', ,(: '. \ ". ,.J. ' ,,' .,. ' Mr. Raymond P. Silo, developer of Skycrest Terrace, inquired as to the possibility of the property being served by the Skycrest Sewage Disposal Plant as it was his understanding that the plant had a surplus capacity. It was the opinion of some of the Commissioners if this were done, that the Skycrest Terrace area s!lould pay its proportionate share toward the cost of constructing the plant. By consent, this request was referred to the City I~anager and the City Engineer for their recommendation. The Mayor reported that there had been a proposal to set up a Youth Center in the old WTAN headquarters in the Municipal Auditorium. He suggested that the Con~ission instruct the City Manager to cooperate with the project in regard to removing the partitions and furnishing it to get it ready for youth activities. The City l'<lanager said that the labor for removing the part,itions could be taken out of the budget and that the only expense would be for the furnishings. He said that the project would be supervised through the Recreation Department and the $1,500.00 necessary for furniture could come from the Recreation Contingency Fund. Commissioner Crown moved that the City Manager be authorized to proceed with the rehabilitation of the old WTAN offices in the City Auditorium toward the conversion of this space into better usage as a youth activity center, with a ceiling of ~1,500.00 on rehabilitating and furnishing such site, and that the Mayor be requested to appoint a Committee to work as closely as possible with the development of this Youth Center. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. ...,.

The City ~~anager r~quested the Commission to approve a work order for $300.00 to construct a divin~ raft to be used near the Pier on Clearwater Beach. After ' some discussion, the building of a diving platform was suggested. Commissioner Crown suggested that it would be wise to check to see if using such a raft or platf'orm would be included in the present liability insurance policy or if it would raise t~e insurance rate. By consent, the City Manager and the City Engineer were instructed to check into the matter and bring back a report at the next meeting.

Adjournment ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 6, 1953 Honorable Mayor-Cornmissioner Herbert M. Brown Commissioners: John W. Bates, William E. Crown, Jr. Jack Russell, W. E. Strang, Jr. Re: U.S. Department of Labor Hearing Regarding Wage Scales for Laying Underground Pipe Gentlemen: On Wednesday, June 24th, the City Manager received notice that on Thursday, June 25th, a hearing would be held in Jacksonville by the U.S. Department of Labor to determine whether laborers laying pipe should receive $1.00 per hour as pipe layers or whether it should be required that all pipe be layed at plumbers' , rates, which are approximately $2.75 per hour. Since municipal officials and contractors through-out the State became alanned, and since the City Manager properly construed the matter to be an emergency, the City Manager requested that I go to Jacksonville to represent the interests of the City of Clearwater in the hearing on June 25, 1953. I attended such hearing, and took with me W. D. Owens and his attorney, Cyril Pogue, together with voluminous evidence in the form of the records of W. U. Owens, who is a utility pipe line contractor. I,'put this and other evidence in the record and participated in the arguments. The ~ring was bitterly contested and lasted all day long. The Davis-Bacon Act, on its face, does not apply to municipalities unless the pipe project of the municipality has some Federal assistance involved in the financing of the project. We got this admission from the U. S. Department of Labor Referee and Solicitor into the record, and I am getting a certified copy of that page of the record; however, this wage deal would have a very direct effect on the City of Clearwater in the event that we ever returned to W.P.A. and P.W.A. days where Federal loans and grants, and other assistance were granted in aid of .

Also, since there are many Federal installations in the Tampa Bay area, if this wage rate were established for those installations, then the unions, which were amply represented at the hearing, would be able to require that the City of Clearwater on its big pipe projects comply with the wage scale pattern that had been established in the area. In other wif~s, the wage scale has no direct inwediate effect on the City, but it might well have a direct and disastrous effect on the City in the future if it is established at $2.75 an hour instead of $1.00 per hour. In the event that the City eventually lays a water line to the Tampa High water source, this procedure, if established, might well c ripple the cost of labor on that project. Under such an arrangement, the revenue certificates would probably not be salable, and the City would either have to forego the water system or have to raise taxes to meet the additional cost. ::',' ~ ~ :: ; >,. "r'. ,'I... " The representatives of the U. S. Department of Labor were obviously ihclined toward the increased wage scale and exhibited favoritism toward the unions apply- ing for the increase. I have asked for certified copies of the Referee's findings and recommendations and of the final ruling of the U. S. Secretary of Labor. With the record that we created, I believe that the Secretary could be reversed in the Federal Courts in the event that he rules for the wage increase. The wage increase is unrealistic and bears no reasonable relationship to what wages should b~ for the work performed. It is purely and simply a diabolical grasp of some very strong unions. Enclosed please find statement for my services and expenses in this regard. If there are further questions in regard to this hearing, kindly advise and I will supply the information that you desire.

The City Engineer explained the detai�s af the project and stated that in addition �o the installa- tion of sanitary sewer lines, the prcject would require a Zift station, that the cost per lot including the cost of the lift station would be apgroximately �240.0� �n the property insidE the Cit,y limits. Any installations outside the City limits would be cove�ect by a sewer main extension contract and must be paid in advance before the project �s started. The T�Iayor asked if there were any objectiong to the improvement and no objections were made.

Wakefield of the Florida State Health Department relative ta t�e ground water condition and pol,iutj�ion of Stevenson Creek and Clearwater Bay. They submitted a map showing areas where ground water conditions were the worst. According to Mr. Wakefield, even those places where the septic tanks are notv working satisfactorily mioht constitute a healtY� menace as the area becomes more denseZy populated or as the ground water level continues to rise. With the recommenrlatzon that the City take immediate action to install sanitary sewers in the Sunset Point section, Mr. Donald B. Cochran called ati:ention to the fact that the effluent from thre� septic tanks on �Sunset Point Road were the main sources of pollution in Stevenson CY•eek and Clearwater Bay. The efflue�t from these se�tic tanks is connected with the out-fall line between the Sewage Disposal Plant and Clearwater Bay and is not subjected �o any treatment. Mr. George B. Chalfont stated that he had in his posssssion a peti�ion signed by ninety-three residents of the Edoewater area opgosing the installatian of any sanitary sewer. �he Mayor suggested that the Engineering Department prepare a survey and estimate of cost in eliminating the di,.ecb pollution of Clear�n+a�er Bay and �tevenson Creek and the Cityts share of transporting sewage across Stevenscn Creek to the Disposal Plant.

Mr. Raymond P, Silo, developer of Skycrest Terrace, inquired as to the possibility of the property being served by the Skycrest Sewage Disposal Plant as it was his understanding that the plant had a surplus capacity. It was the opinicn of some of the Commissioners if this were done, that the Skycrest � Terrace area sliould pay its proportionate share toward the ecst of constructing the plant. By consent, this request was referred to the City Manager and the City Engineer for their recommendation. The Mayor reported that there had been a prop�sal to set up a Youth Center in the old WTAN headquarters in the Municipal Auditorium.

Adjournment July 6, 1953 Honorable Mayor-Commissioner Herbert M. Brown Commissioners: John W. Bates, William E. Crown, Jr. Jack Russell, W. E. Strang, Jr. Re; U.S. Department of Labor Hearing Regarding Wage Scales for Laying Underground Pipe Gentlenen: On Wednesday, June 21�th, the City i�lanager receiv�d notice that on Thursday, June 25th, a hearing would be held i� Jacksonvills by the U.S. Departmerit of Labor to determine whether laborers laying pipe should receivp �1.00 per hour as pipe layers or whether it should be required that all �aipe be layed at plumbersT _rates, which are appro.cimately �?_.75 per hour. Since municipal officiais and contractors through-�ut tlla State be.came alarmed, and since tr�e City i�ianager properly construed the matter to be an emergency, the City Manager requested that I go to Jacksonville Lo represent the interests of tre City of Clearwater in the hearing on �une 25, 1953. I attended such hearing, and toolc with me W. D, Owens and his attorney, Cyril Fogue, together with voluminous evidence in the form of the records of W. D. Owens, who is a utility pipe line contractor. I ut this and other evidence in the record and participated in the arguments. The %�aring was bitterly contested and lasted all day lon�. The Davis-Bacon Act, on its face, doss not apply to municipalities unless the pipe �roject of th.e municipality has some Federal assistance irivolved in the financing of the project. UTe got this zdmission irom the U. S. Departmerit of Labor Referee and Solicit�Y• into tha record, and I am getting a certified coF;• of that page of the record; however, this wage deal would have a very direct effect on the City of Clearwater in the event that we ever returned to W.P.A. and P.W.A. days where Federal loans and grants, and other assista;ice were granted in «id of , �t �, �� ;I f� CITY COMMISSTON i�SEETING July 6, 1953 (Continued} munzcipaZ projects. Also, since there are many Federal installations in the Tampa Bay area, if this wage rate were established ,for those instal.lations, then the unions, which were arnply represented at the hearing, would be able to require that the Citp of Clearwater on �ts big pipe proaects comply with the wage scale pattern that had been established in tlie area. In o�Gher wc�'ds, the wage scale has no direct immediate e:ffect on the City, but it might well have a direct and disastrous ef�'ect on the City in the future if it is established a� �2.75 an hour instead of �1.OQ per hour. In the event tha� the City eventually lays a water line to the Tampa High water source, this procedure, if established, mioht we`11 cr.igpZe the cost of labor on 1�hat project. Under such an arrangement, the r�venue certificates would probably not be salable, and the City �ould e�ther have to forego the t�rater system or have to raise taxes to meet the �dditional. cost. The regresentatives of the U. S. I�epartment of Labor were obviously ii�clined �oward the increased wag� scale and exhibited favoritism toward the unions apply- ing for the increase. I have asked for certified cop�es o� the Re�'eree's findings and recommendations and of �he final ruling of the U. S. Secretary of Labor. With the record that wE created, S believe t�at the Secreta�y could be reversed in the Fecieral Courts in the event that he rul�s for the wage increase. The wage increase is unrealistic and bears no reasonable relationship to what v:ages should be fbr the work �erformed. It is purely and simplq a diabolical ;rasp of some very strong unions. Enclosed plzase find statement for my services and ex�enses in this regard. If thzre are further questions in regard to this hearing, kindly advise and I will supply the information that you desire.
