The City Attorney read a letter from the Director of the Property Management Division of the Federal Housing Authority in Washington, D.C., which assured the City of Clearwater of the F.H.A.'s willingness and ability to participate in the cost of installing the storm sewer in the Green~ood Apartment area under the following agreement: The City to assume cost of material $13,749.30 less $1,193.25 which amount represents the difference in cost between 48" concrete and 4e" corrugated pipe if the F.H.A. accepts the charge of $19,992.75 on account of labor in the amount of 'lB,799.50 plus the above $1,193.25. (Conmissioner Strang arrived at this time -- 1:13 P.M~ In regard to the bids on 412 lineal feet of 15" concrete pipe and 531 lineal feet of 12" concrete pipe, the City !V!anager reported that three companies had made equal bids but Pinellas Industries, Inc., St. Petersburg, and Sherman Concrete Pipe Company of Tampa had offered 2% discount and the other company, the Universal Concrete Pipe Company, Tampa had not offered the discount. After checking with the Universal Concrete Pipe Company, the City Manager said they would give the discount also. The Manager recorrmended dividing the purchase between the three companies. The Mayor reconmended buying the concrete pipe from the Pinellas Industries, Inc. Commissioner Kennedy moved that the portion of the contract pertaining to the 12" and 15" pipe be awarded to the Pinellas Industries. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. The City Manager recommended that since the two bids on 1075 lineal feet of 48" corrugated pipe from Armco Drainage & Metal Company o~ Jacksonville and Tri-State Culvert & Manufacturing Co., of Tampa were exactly the same -- $12,373.25, that the purchase be divided equally between the two companies. Commissioner Bates moved that the contract for the 1075 lineal feet of 4e inch corrugated pipe be awarded evenly between Armco Drainage & Metal Company of Jacksonville, and the Tri-State Culvert & Manufacturing Company of TampaMat a total price of $12,373.25 in accordance with the recommendation of the City anager. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. The City Manager reported that the Stansfield Construction Company of Tampa had submitted the low bid ($le,799.50) for laying the pipe in the Greenwood Apartment area, and recommended that they be awarded the contract. He said the Stansfield Construction Company was also low bidder on supplying and laying the pipe for the storm se~er in Palm Bluff Street, east of West Avenue, and recommended that they be awarded the contract. Upon being questioned as to the F.H.A.'s responsibility to pay for the work, the City Attorney stated that the contract with the government had been received the day before and that the basic part of the contract was all right but the beginning and ending would need a little re-draf~ing which he would do, but the action which was needed now was ~or the proper of~icials to be authorized to execute the contract. Commissioner Kennedy brought up the point that it might be well to do only the City's part of the work, the storm sewer along Palm Bluff Street, and not award the other contracts until the contract with the F.H.A. had been signed. Mr. Stansfield, who was present, stated that it would be more convenient and more economical for him to work on both jobs at the same time and that he would be willing to wait for his payments until such time as the Government made the funds available to the City. Commissioner Bates moved that the contract for the installation of the 48" corrugated pipe and the 12" and 15" concrete pipe be awarded to the Stansfield Construction Company of Tampa at a price of $18,799.50 because it is the low bid and in accordance with the recommendation o~ the City Manager. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. Commissioner Kennedy moved that the bid of Stansfield Construction Company be accepted at $14,225.00 (for installing and furnishing 710 feet of 48" corrugated pipe for the storm sewer in Palm Bluff). Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bates and carried unanimously. ::.:':: .:::.. " ';.;," {J;:;:>!:L,,; 11lt0$:l;1 """" u "'"""" '"' '""' l ~t~~j~11 , .-':!" ..'..n..

Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. The City Attorney presented another draft of the proposed water contract with Pinellas County stating that it included the amendments agreed upon at the last joint meeting of the City Commission and the County Commission. Commissioner Bates moved that this body go on record as temporarily approving Draft No. 16 of the proposed agreement with the County for the purchase of water, subject only to any amendments necessary for the financing of the project and any further amendments that might be necessary prior to the drafting of the final contract. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. Corr~issioner Strang reported that he and the Mayor had inspected the second floor of the Marina Building to see what could be done to improve it for the square dancing sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. It was their suggestion that it be patched or smoothed a little and covered by asphalt tile exactly the same as is now in the J.C. Building. The City Manager had secured an estimate of $589.00 ~or the tile and $70.00 for the black asphalt base strip or a total of $659.00 for the floor installed, not including the kitchen area. Considering the emergency, Conwissioner Bates moved that the City Manager be authorized to proceed to get the tile laid on the floor at a cost not to exceed $659.00. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The Mayor referred to a letter addressed to the City Commission by Mr. William L. Coon in which Mr. Coon informed the Commissioners that he and Mr. Smith had let a contract for a 75 foot pool rather than an Olympic-type of 82 feet through an oversight and requested that the Commission agree to the construction of this size pool. During the discussion, it was brought out that the 75 foot pool is standard in the United States for National Amateur Athletic Union competition and therefore would meet the requirements for high school and college swimming team meets. Consideration was also given to the fact that Smith and Coon were being delayed in t heir construction by the Beach Chamber of Commerce not moving out of the J.C. Building at the scheduled time. Commissioner Bates moved that the City Manager be instructed to inform Mr. Coon that the City would agree to the construction of a 75 foot pool provided that Smith and Coon are willing to have the Chamber or Commerce occupy their present quarters in the J.C. Building until the floor can be installed in their new quarters in the Marina Building. Motion waa seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. Commissioner Strang said that it appeared that the 75 foot pool would be adequate for all purposes for which it would be used, and since enough money was not available at this time for the construction of an 82i foot Negro Swimming Pool, the City could effect considerable savings by changing the specifications to pro- vide for a 75 foot pool. Commissioner Bates moved that all bids on the Negro Swimming Pool be rejected for the reason that it has been found that a pool of a different size would better suit the needs of the occasion and that new bids upon the new size be secured. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. Commissioner Bates, in reporting on the trip he and the City Attorney made to Tampa on Monday to attend the joint meeting of the State Road Board officials and the Pinellas and Hillsborough County Commissioners, commended the City Attorney on the fine job he did in the public hearing which they attended to pro- test the pledging of Pinellas County's secondary road money to the project of widening the Gandy Bridge. He said that the net result of the efforts had been that we now have the County's secondary road funds unpledged and that the County's road program can now proceed where previously the funds wo~ld have been tied up for three years. .

Keehan, Director Tampa, Florida Property Management Division, Washington Greenwood Apartments Clearwater, Florida Project No. 067-42009 We have received the two sets of bids secured by the City for rerouting the storm sewer system at the Greenwood Apartments Project, Clearwater, Florida, one set covering the purchase of pipe and the other set covering labor for laying pipe, construction o~ manholes and catchbasins and filling the abandoned sewer, all in a manner acceptable to the City Engineer. On the basis of present estimates, the overall job will break down into two major parts with cost estimates as follows: Purchase of pipe $13,749.30 and labor $18,799.50 for a total of $32,548.g0 with final costs to be determined by in place measurements. All surveys, engineering, contracting and supervision of construction will be performed by the City Engineers' staff, the charge for which will ~ be reflected in the final cost. The City has agreed to assume the cost of material, less $1,193.25, w~ich amount represents the difference in cost between 48" concrete and 48" corrugated pipe (the corrugated pipe being cheaper to install) if the Federal Housing Administration accepts the charge of $19,992.75 on account of labor in the amount of $1$,799.50 plus the above $1,193.25. Pursuant to your recommendation, we herewith give approval to such an arrangement and are immediately asking the General Counsel to prepare the formal agreement for acceptance by both the City of Clearwater and the Federal Housing Administration. Sanford REROUTING STORM SEWER Even though the matter must remain in the informal stage until the agreement has been executed, it is our feeling that the City can proceed with arrangements ~or the work, since you can assure them of our willingness and ability to participate. Director, Property cianagement cc: Mr. C. W.

In paragraph 5 thereof, we agreed to construct a "regulation olympic-type swimming pool". Prior to entering into this lease agreement we had not constructed swimming pools, and were not entirely familiar with the size and use made thereof. Our purpose in using the phraseology which was used was to insure that a rull size pool would be constructed which could be used for high school and collegiate pur- poses if desireable, and one in which competition for records could be conducted. . Without giving too much thought to this we proceeded to have a 75-foot pool designed, have let the contract for its construction, and are in the process of constructing it at this time. Excavation work is on the way, and all materials, including precut steel work for this size pool are on the site.

This size pool will. ot course, be entirely satisfactory for use by the general public, and is larger than any other pool existing in this area. We have just discovered that the type pool which we are constructing actually is not a olympic-type pool in that, as stated, it is 25 yards long rather than 25 meters, which would be g2~ feet. This is an honest mistake on our part, and one which we do not reel will prejudice the City as Lessor, or the general public. Actually we feel that the 25 yard pool is the better one since, as we previously stated, the great majority of high school and collegiate competitions are sCheduled in that size pool. We are calling these racts to your attention with the hope that you will accept the explanation herein given and authorize us to proceed with the construc- tion of this pool.
