The bids were read as follows: w. H. Armston Co.) Dunedin E. H. Holcomb, Jr., Clearwater Cone Bros. Contr. Co. Tampa Campbell Paving Co., Clearwater Burton Walker Constr. Co., Clearwater $5,754.00 4,937.00 6,031.00 6,287.00 5,all.00 Commissioner Strang moved that these bids be referred to the City Manager to check the specifications and bring the recommendation to the next meeting. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. Con~iRsioner Crown in~uired if the Mandalay project was progressing fast enough to meet the dead line of the contract. Commissioner Bates was of the opinion that the work could be speeded up by using another drag line. The Mayor said he joined Mr. Bates in feeling the work could be speeded up and would suggest appointing a Committee of Commissioner Bates and himself to contact the contractor to see if the work could be expedited. By consent, this was done. The City Manager reported that one bid had been received for one ton of regular nine point postcard stock. The bid was read as follows: Graham Jones Paper Co., Tampa $la.~5 per C.' Total: $369.00 Commissioner Strang moved that the bid of $369.00 of Graham Jones Paper Company be accepted for one ton of postcard stock. Motion was seconded by Commismoner Bates and carried unanimously. The Mayor announced the continuation of the Public Hearing on the construction of sanitary sewer, a 30 foot pavement and curbs on Franklin Street from Myrtle to Prospect and a 30 foot pavement and curbs on Pierce Street from Myrtle to Prospect Avenue. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Harry Shepard, owner of Block 10, Aiken Subdivision (on the south side of Franklin Street), withdrawing his objection to the project on the understanding that the work will not proceed until about March 1st of 1954. Commissioner Strang reported for the Committee that they had talked with Mr. Shepard, Mr. Frank Tack and Mr. Alan J. Jerome (who own over 50% of the property concerned in the project) and they would like to hRve the project approved now but to delay advertising for bids until February and start the work in March. The Mayor inquired of the audience if there were any objections to the project but there were none. Having heard no valid objections, Commissioner B~tes moved that the Commission approve the project to install the sanitary sewer on Franklin Street from Myrtle to Prospect and to pave Pierce Street and Franklin Street from Myrtle to Prospect; that the property be assessed accordingly for the improvements with the understanding that this project will be approved now but that work will not be started until immediately after the rush part of the tourist season. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The City Manager stated that a petition signe~lfifty property owners in Grandview Terrace had been received requesting storm sewer to take care of the area on Casler Avenue and adjacent streets where the water stands after heavy rains. He reported that the City had been able to secure an easement from Mr. John Batstone to put the sewer through his property, Lot 108. The City Engineer estimated the project would cost $3,500.00 including $532.00 for the resurracing. The City ~anager reported that a preliminary hearing was held and that the majority of property owners were in favor of the project but they wondered if they would have to pay the cost or the resurfacing too. Mr. A. D. Finch appeared before the Commission to object to the project as set out in the proposal. It was his opinion that the project should have included additional territory which would be directly affected by the proposed sewer. Commissioner Strang mentioned it would be well to install curbs at the same time. The Mayor suggested that the City Engineer be instructed to draw up a more complete project including curbs and estimates on a front foot basis. By consent, it was agreed to set up another preliminary hearing, and if that is favorable, to advertise a Public Hearing. The City Manager reported that there had been a petition from property owners on Coronado Drive to extend the sanitary sewer south from the end of the existing line on Coronado Drive. The City Engineer stated that this particular area could not be served without installing some kind of a lift station. He said the problem was whether to expand the project to include the entire south end of the island and install a pumping station at the cost of $30)000.00 or install a temporary station at a cost of $6,000.00 which could be taken out and used in some other place later. After some discussion, Commissioner Strang suggested that a survey be made of how many lots there are on the Beach and figures prepared by the City Engineer for a completely separate system for the Beach. By consent, the Commission approved the City Engineer's suggestion roifa temporary solution and the City Manager stated that a preliminary hearing would be called to present plans and a cost estimate to the property owners. Commissioner Crown suggested that the City Manager point out to the affected property owners that in the event that the City should install later a complete system covering the Beach, their properties would not be immune from additional assessments. , , , "', ....

" -3- CITY COMMISsr ON MEETING November 2, 195.3 Mr. Earl S. Ward, Jr., appeared before the Commission on behalf of Mrs. Nona B. Sharp, requesting that the City sell to Mrs. Sharp the south fifteen feet of that part of Seminole Park property lying west of Osceola and south or Seminole Street to permit access to a garage which she proposes to build on her property lying immediately south of this area. Upon being asked for his opinion, the City Attorney said that since Mrs. Sharp already has two ways of access to her property, it would not be considered a way of necessity and if the City should sell a part of park property for private use, the action of the City would be difficult to defend in Court. By consent, the Corrunissiol1 took the matter under advisement to see what can be worked out. The City Manager requested a Committee from the Commission or the entire Commission to make a final inspection of the Skycrest Sewage Treatment Plant. By consent, it was agreed the entire Commission would go and the time was set for Tuesday, November 10th, at 3:00 P.M. The Mayor reported that he had received a number of complaints over holes in the roads in the Skye rest area and suggested asking the Manager and the Engineer to check the problem over from an engineering standpoint and see what the solution is. Commissioner Bates moved that the City Manager and the City Engineer make an inspection of this situation and report back to the Commission on some course or action (could be a combination of temporary and permanent) so we will know where we are going. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unan1~ously. In regard to the Stevenson Creek submerged land project, the City Attorney reported that the Internal Improvement Board had conducted a sale of submerged land rights and the City is to purchase the land; the sale is not consummated yet but the title is now protected so that the Commission could advertise the property as available for sale by sealed proposals. He called attention to the fact that the bond held by the City for a bona fide bid from Billet and Williams runs out at the end of this year. The Mayor suggested that the Engineer be directed to prepare plans and specifications of the City's requirements for developing the property. The City Manager said there are two or three plans already available. By consent, the Commission is to meet at an executive session on Thursday noon to look at the plans, the matter to be on the agenda for formal approval at the next meeting. Regarding the parking meters in the parking lot on North Osceola Avenue, the City Manager reported that the City is now receiving from $25.00 to $30.00 per week from the meters which are now installed in just the east half of tn~ lot and requested instructions as to whether the Commission wished to have meters installed in the other half of the lot. Commissioner Russell moved that the meters be installed on the remainder of the lot. The motion died for want of a second. Commissioner Bates moved that parking meters be installed in the remaining part of that lot, subject to the approval of the Merchants Association. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang. Upon the vote being taken) Commissioners Bates, Strang 0 Crown and Brown voted "Aye". Commissioner Russell voted "No". Motion carried. ...,' . < 'l/1~~;~, ~~~~(i'", j{, -, \. ~"1-"'~'...! ~.~." !"i;;"i;~j)1~,~~f' , i '" f..': "....., ~ .. - . .."-. '-. _. - -. The City J.'!anager reported that he had received a request to finish the side- walk on Seminole Street from Myrtle Avenue to Garden Avenue. He said the City would have to secure right-or-way for part of the project but thought it might be possible to trade right-of-way for the sidewalk assessment if the Commission desired. Colonel J. M. Ranck addressed the Commission a s a representative of the Country Club Estates Association and presented a petition signed by fifty-six persons requesting the project to eliminate the hazard for children walking in the street to North Ward School. Commissioner Russell moved that the City Manager bring in a work order to cover the cost of the sidewalk on Seminole from Myrtle Avenue to Garden Avenue. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously. During the discussion, it was suggested that the sidewalk be completed on Greenwood from Palm Bluff to ~J.arshall Street. The Engineer reported that the plans were complete for that project but that the Public Hearing had not been held. The Mayor suggested that both projects, if approved at a Public Hearing, be advertised for bids as one job. The City Manager presented a work order to cover cost of rebuilding the side- walk on North Osceola Avenue from the Parking Lot in Coachman Park south to property owned by the Gulf Oil Company. He explained that this was located in front of City property formerly leased by Hertz Driv-Ur-Self Service and he would like to take out the driveway there and replace the bad sidewalk at the same time. H~ estimated the cost at approximately $300.00. COI~issioner Crown moved that the work order be approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimoUSly. The City Attorney presented a Resolution wherein the City of Clearwater will endorse the aims and purposes of the Pine lIas First Association in supporting the construction of a third bridgei a toll bridge, across Tampa Bay between Hillsborough and Pinellas County. The Reso ution also endorses the completion of the network of secondary roads including Alternate Route 19 as planned by the Board of Commissioners of Pine lIas County; further that the City would appoint one or more of its members to work with the Pine lIas First. Association in a program of public education. The Resolution carries the provision that the City shall not be financially obligated or pledge or mitigate the City's right to receive funds assessed and collected under Section 343.17, Florida Statutes. The Mayor suggested that an amendment be added after Alternate Route 19 "and Myrtle Avenue connection between Dunedin and Belleair through Clearwater". Commissioner Strang moved that this Resolution be passed and adopted with that amendment of Myrtle Avenue as of this date. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. .; :,;':1.. ..; ::. . ,( " .~' ~ ,. . '-:::~ ( """.,~,.,::. I I I I , ".1 ! " .1 , '.' ,,".~.':. . . .

Commissioner Strang moved that these utility improvements be approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously. Commissioner Bates commented that the amount of money being spent on extensions to the utility system is becomine a very serious item. He was of the opinion that the City is apparently at the stage where the expansion of utility improvements cannot very handily be taken out of revenue comin~ in -- a capital item in any event. He thought it was all part of the same problem of doing something about the sewers, the water system, etc. The City ~anager requested that the Mayor appoint a Committee to work with him on the proposed extension of the City's high pressure line. The Mayor appointed Commissioners Strang and Bates to work on this Committee. The City Manager presented a Resolution to have twenty property owners cIe;}n their lots of wI3eds and underbrush. Commissioner Strang moved that 'che Resolution be adopted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously. '.:....7 .; ,1.'1 .

(Tract A, Re-Sub. of Jones Sub. Commissioner Bates reported for the Committee that a counter-proposal of 2,000.00 for the tract had been accepted by the owner, Mrs. Ella Sams, and that the Committee's report was that this tract can be purchased at a satisfactory price. The Mayor and the City Manager recommended the purchase of the land. Commissioner Crown moved that the property described as Tract A, Jones Re-Sub. be purchased at a price of $2,000.00 net from Mrs. Ella Sams subject to the City Attorney's approval of the title. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. Commissioner Crown moved that a work order be approved not to exceed $200.00 to place this property (Tract A, Re-Sub. of Jones Sub.) insofar as possible in a usable condition as a parking lot. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Albert P. Rogers offering to the City the rubble resulting from the proposed demolition of the old Mandalay Hotel building, the City to remove all such material within two months after completion of demolition. The City Engineer estim~ted there would be from 2,000 to 3,000 cubic yards of broken concrete that would cost $15,000.00 to move and place as groin on the south end of the island adjacent to property of Mr. W. D. Owens. The Mayor asked Mr. E. H. Holcomb, Jr., who was in the audience for an estimate of what it would cost to haul it. Mr. Holcomb estimated it would cost $10.00 a load on an estimate of 2500 cubic yards or approximately $12,000.00 for the job. Mr. Owens said he would be opposed to using the rubble as he thought it would be more expensive than the groins originally planned. Commissioner Russell moved that the Commission receive this letter from Mr. Rogers concerning the concrete from the old Mandalay Hotel and the Mayor appoint a Committee to check into this immediately and find out what we want to do about it so these people can be told yes or no; the Committee to report back to the Commission on their findings. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Crown and carried unanimously. The Mayor appointed Commissioners Bates and Strang to serve on this Committee. Attest: ,.~ Z~~ The City Attorney read the amended proposal of Messrs. Smith and Coon on the swimming pool project. He also read the amended proposal of Messrs. Kleinman and McKernan. These proposals are set forth in the following pages of these minutes and by reference are made a part hereof. The Manager reported that drawings accompanied the Kleinmann and McKernan proposal. The Mayor suggested that both o~ these proposals be considered by the Commission at an executive session and a special meeting be called next Monday if necessary. The other members of the Commission approved the Mayor's suggestion. There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned at ~:55 P.M. lerk ~ _.~""---... .(:' , -----.... .' " . . ..',...~.

The City i`�anager reported that a preliminary hearing was held and that the majority of pxop�rty owners were in favor of'the project but they wondered if they would have to pay the cost of the resurfacing too. Mr. A. D. Finch appeared before the Commission to object to the project as set out in the proposal. It was his opinion that the project should have included additional territory which would be �irectly affected �y the proposed sewer. Commissioner Strang mentioned it would b e vrell to install curbs at the same time.

By consent, it was agreed to se� up another preliminary hearing, and if •that is favorable, to advertise a Public Hearing. The Gity Manager reported that there had beer. a petition f rom property owners on Coronad� Drive to extend the sanitarp sewer south from the end of the e xisting line on Cor�nada Drive. The City Engineer stated that this particular area aould not be served without installing some kind o£ a lift station. Fie said the problem was whether to expand the �iroject to include the entire south end of the island and install a puruping station at the cost of �30,000�00 or install a temporary station at a cost of �6=000.00 which could be taken out and used in some other place later. After some discussion, Gommissioner Strang suggested that a survey be made of how many lots there are on the Beach and figures prepared by the City Engineer for a completely separate system for the Beach. By consent, th� Commission approved the City Engineer�s sug�estion for�a temporar� solution and the City Manager stated that a preliminary hearing would be called to present plans and a cost estimate to �he praperty owners. Commi�sioner Crown suggested that the City Manager point out to the affected property owners thab in the even� that the City shouZd install later a complete systzm covering the Beach, their properties would not be immune from additional assessments. At the suggestion of �che Mayor, the City Managex v,Tas instructed to submit a memo to t;he Nayor and the Commissioners on the re�vlts oi preliminary hearings showing who the objectors are, the praponents, ar_d the reason for the hearing being held. 2�Z CI'I''Y CONIl'IISSL �N MEETING November �, Y953 Mr. Earl S.

Upon beix:g asked i'or his opinion, the City Attorney said tha� since Mrs. Sharp already has tV�o ways of access to her property, it would not be considered a way of necessity and Yf the City should sell a part of park property for private use, the action af the City would be difficult to d e£end in Court.
