Brown John W. Bates Jack Russell W. E. Strang, Jr. Guy L. Kennedy Mayor-Con~isBioner Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner Also present were: F. C. Middleton Chas. M. PhillIps, Jr. G. T. McClarruna S. LIckton City Manager City Attorney Chief of Police City Engineer .. '<<,.. The Mayor called the meetillg to order and announced that Mr. Rtllph Richards wished to address the Commission concerning the size of the proposed Negro Swimming Pool. Mr. Richards stated that the original plans were for a larger pool and a wading pool and asked the Commission if the size of the pool could be extended to the 25 meter length and a wading pool included provided he is able to raise the necessary funds. Commjssioner Bates commented that A.A.U. swimming meets could not be held in an Olympic-size pool. Co~nissloner Strang suggested that it might be possible to increase the size by widening it and keeping the 25 yard length. Mr. Richards said that the contractor, pw. R. M. Thompson, Jr., had estimated it would take approximately $3,000.00 more to increase the size of the pool and $4,400.00 to build the wading pool. Commissioner Bates moved that the Commission approve the increase in size of the pool and the addition of a wading pool with Mr. Richards and his friends providing the additional funds to do so. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. Tne Mayor suggested that as soon as a decision is reached as to whether to enlarge it that Mr. Richards let the City Manager know so that he can send a memo concerning it to the Commissioners. The City Manager reported that the Country Club Estates Subdivision has a drainage problem at the corner of Missouri and Seminole. He said there is a storm sewer that runs east to Betty Lane, north on Betty Lane to Palmetto, then east on Palmetto to Stevenson Creek. He stated there is a bottleneck at Palmetto as the existing sewer does not admit the water. The City Engineer and Mr. Paul Kane having checked over the situation recommend that the sewer on Seminole be extended due east across the Golf Course to Stevenson Creek in order to get release o~ the excess water in that area. Commissioner Bates moved that the Commission approve a work order or whatever is necessary in the amount of $1,150.00 to install this drainage. :;'Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried,unanimously. j~,i1!!~~\ t ~ ..')\~:~.> '.:> .,i~ :'; Ii' "/';: ' L . t I 'f' . ~ I ~, , ~ , ,'. .. t ' ,: ,."', " ~ ' , :",:':'.~~':\~,' 'f: ' ,';:~;;Y\ , 1~ ."

The City Manager reported that Mr. Eddie Moore had two qualified people in mind who will graduate ~rom college in June and he will make recommendations through the Civil Service Board. The Mayor suggested directing the Recreational Department to determine the advisability of proceeding with an interim project in developing some sort of program and thought perhaps they could get a provisional employee for a short period. By consent, the Commission agreed with the Mayor'S suggestion. {J ~~ ~f -1~ ~ ... ~. ~ J~ ~'t ~ !: ~t ~~ ~J ~~ 1J' (~ ~" ''be i ~ ~Q ~ The City Manager stated that the Clerk had reported that the records do not show that Mr. Ben Evans and Mr. John Henry Logan were appointed last year to the Recreation Board ~ 1 a awe v~v.- t1&:l.J11 t: !:][~irc bext ~~Etl> in 19s.!; (l!~lHtI~".:'"':'1"~~ B:wtJ1 Lt..u.), l~::;~. if Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. Commissioner Russell reported that several people had asked why Clearwater does not have a Little League baseball team. He said Dunedin was preparing to have one and also Largo. He thought there was a $200.00 fee and estimated it would cost about $300.00 for unifornls. He suggested some civic organization might back the project. The Mayor suggested the matter be referred to the Recreation Board for consideration. CommiSSioner Kennedy moved that this subject be referred to the Recreation Board and that the Board be informed that it has been discussed here and is looked upon with favor by the Commission and we recommend that the Recreation Board make a study of it to see if it is expedient to enter a Clearwater team in the Little League program. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The r~yor directed the Clerk to inform the Recreation Board of the Commission's action. Commissioner Russell commented that since Clearwater is making an effort to attract conventions it will be necessary to have the Municipal Auditorium ready to use as a meeting place. He inquired if an estimate had been received for fixing the ceiling of the Auditorium. The City Manager said that he had given the estimate from the acoustical engineer to Mr. Moore and requested him to discuss the matter with Mr. Moloney and the Electrical Department as the lighting would have to be changed also. Commissioner Strang suggested sending a copy of the report from the acoustical engineer to each Commissioner. The City Attorney read a Resolution assessing the benefited properties for the installation of sanitary sewer on Pierce Street 350 feet west from Highland Avenue. The Mayor inquired if there was anyone in the audience wishing to prote~t the assessment and there were no protests. Commissioner Strang moved that the Assessment Resolution for approximately 350 feet of sanitary sewer ~n Pierce Street be passed and adopted and the proper officials be authorized to sign it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.

Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried tmanirnousl:l. Commissioner Russell inquired as to what progress wac being made on the sidewalk for Sem1nole Street from Myrtle to Garden. The City Engineer reported that there was :Jt1.l1 one easement for right-of-way to be secured. The Mayor said that if a Public Hearing was required, it would be possible to schedule the Public Hearing was requ:1 red, it "'ould be possllJlc to schedule the Public Hearing and ask for b:tds to be returned at the same meeting. "', .1 'I '/ ',~' I , l f ;\ I t. M . The C:t ty Manager presented a list of via ter main extensions that had been made under $300.00 each, totalling $2,160.00, and a list of ~as main extensions aloo less than $300.00 each, totalling $2,045.00. These lists are set out in the followin~ pages of these minutes and by rererence made a part hereof. Commissioner strang moved that these utl1ity improvements of water main extensions in the amount of $2,160.00 and gas main extensiolls in the amount of' $2,045.00 be approved. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russel) and carried unanimously. The City Manager reported that the Mandalay paving project was ready to assess and he wished to present for the Commission's approval an outline of the method for assessine in accordance with the minutes of the Public Hearing on May 4, 1953. The City En&lneer outlined the following proposed system for assessment: "" ,). .... ' ;;\ij;;~~;. : ,::~'::'~\~Kj~;~:\ ; '..' t \ .,..t.\(l'!;., , .;~li~i,<" ; Resurfacing to be paid by the City. Widening to be assessed to the property owners. Drainage to be assessed to the property owners except portions previously acsessed for other drainage projects such as Mar:tanne, Baymont, Papaya and Mandalay Un:tt 5. Curbing to be assessed to the property owners except it is not to be re-as~essed where good curbing had to be moved. Side\'lalks: 1. New sidewalk to be assessed to property owners. 2. Good sidewalk that had to be removed because of change in grade not to be assessed to property owners. Sidewalk which the owners were not satisfied with but the Engineer considered good. Property owners agreed to pay for new sidewalk. By consent, the Commission [l,pproved the schedule as set up by the Engineer. The Mayor called attention to the fact that since Mandalay had been opened to traffic a number of small pockets have formed where the street had been resurfaced. Commissioner Strang recommended that every effort ShOl11d be made to fix the one block where the water stands. The Mayor sugGested that the City Engineer see if the twelve or fourteen little pockets can be rilled in. The City Engineer reported that \'lhen the Charles Street sewer was put in, 1 t eliminated two septic tanks formerly a part of the system and brought the sewage down to a septic tank(located at North Washington Avenue and the north shore or Stevenson Creek) which in turn Goes into the outfall line into the Bay. However at that time the over-all plan was to take this septic tank, convert it into a lift station and take the sewage back to the Disposal Plant. The State Board of Health would not approve the ~irst plan until they were assured that this other plan would go through. He asked app~oval of the Commission to convert the septic tank into a lift station at an estimated cost of $12,000.00 including $3,000.00 worth of pipe now in stock. Upon inquiry as to whether the line across the creek would be lowered, the City Engineer replied that i~ this line were lowered, there was a gas pipe line and a water line which cross underneath the sewer line and they would also have to be lowered. He thought it would make the cost of the job considerably more expensive. Commissioner strang moved that the City build a pumping station at Washington Avenue for the sum of approximately $9,000.00 and that 'we use $3,000.00 worth of pipe that we have on hand bringing the total project to approximately $12,000.00. Motion was seconded by COlrunissioner Russell and carr:ted unanimously. In reference to the agenda item IIInstructions on Water Bonds", the City Manager explained that he meant to include consideration of acceptance of Mr. Harold Briley'S report on future plans for the water distribution system'and instructions on whether or not the Commission wished to go ahead w1.th the program of water revenue bonds. Commissioner Strang commented that it was a very good report and should prove to be a great help to the City Manager in making all ~uture extensions and he would recommend accepting the report at this time. The Mayor was of the opinion that the report would be invaluable to the Commission but thought it would be well before considering the revenue certificate question to have another report from the County and to have an executive meeting to study the report and make some definite ~"ecomrnen- dations. By consent, it was agreed to call an executive session to consider the water report. The City Manager reported that the City had received the signed copies of the interim water contract from the County and also the thirty year contract with the County. The Mayor suggested that the City Attorney verify the copies before having them filed by the Clerk. Commissioner Kenned:)' moved that it be recorded in the Minutes that these contracts signed by the County had been received and referred to the Legal Department for verification be~ore being turned over to the City Clerk for filing. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. .~- ~.......- ...' , . ,'. I."::....

Wingo City Auditor and Clerk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 23, 1954 Mr. Francis C. Middleton, City Manager City Hall Clearwater, Florida Re: Special Events Committee of the Junior Chamber of Commerce Dear Mr. ~ddleton: The Special Events Committee has been requested by Marion F. Shambaugh, Faculty Advisor to the Exchange Group~ for $200.00 with which to give a banquet in honor of the delegates sent to Clearwater from Wyandotte, Michigan. The Committee feels that since the Clearwater delegation that was sent to Wyandotte received such a wonderful reception we in turn should give a nice reception in Clearwater. We were advised that all expenses, other than the banquet~ such as transportation, housing and entertainment~ are furnished by individuals so that the only obligations the city should meet is that we properly honor them with a banquet. The Committee, there~ore, recommends that a $200.00 disbursement be made to Marion F. Shambaugh for the banquet to be held on April 26, 1954. We do recommend that a final accounting be made as the request is based on an estimate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 22, 1954 To: From: Subject: Mr. Middleton~ City Manager Frank Abernathy,Treasurer Funds ror Colored Swimming Pool Would you please ask the Commission to approve a trans~er o~ $35,000.00 in cash from the Cigarette Tax Fund (which balance is currently $66,000.00) to the Colored Swimming Pool C9nstructj.on Account, which account contains $19,000.00 of previously reported ~unds. This recommendation is made on the basis of a contract awarded at the Comnlission meeting of April 19th for $49,200.00, which amount obviously does not cover engineering, equipment and other expenses which are sure to arise.

TY?e City PZanager reported thaz the Mandalay paving project was ready to assess and he ��iished to present ior the Gommission's approval an outline of the metroc� for assessing in accordance with the minutes of the Public Hear�n� on May 4, 1��3. The �ity Engineer outlined the foll�wing proposed system for assessment; Resurfacing �o be paid by the City. Wi�lening to be assessed to the property owners.

Strark; r�commended that every effbrt should be made to f�x the one block �vhere the water stands. The Mayor suggested that the City Engineer see if the twelve or fourteen little pockeis can be filled in. The City Engineer reported that when the Gharles Street sewer was put in, it eliminated tc�ro septic tanks formerly a par� of the syStem and brought the sewage down to a septic tank(loca�ed at North Washington Avenue and the north "s?�ore of Stevenson Creek) which in t�rn goes into the outfall line inte the Ba.y, However at that tim� the over-all plarx�aas to take this septic tank, convert it into a lift station and take the sewage back to the Dispasal Plant. The State Board o�' Health would not anprove the first plan until they were assured �hat this ather plan V�oul.d gd through. He asked approval af the Commission to convert the septic tank into a].ift station at an estimated cost of $�2,000.00 includino $3,000.00 worth of �ipe now in stocic. Upon inquiry as to tahether the line across the creek urould be lowered, the City Engineer reAlied that if t�is line were lowered, th�re was a gas pipe line and a�rrater line which cross under�eath the sewer line and they would also have to b� lowered, He tho��ght it would make the cost of the job considerably more expensive. Gommissioner Strang moved that the City build a pumping stat:Lon at Washin;ton Avenue for the sum of appr.ar,imately $g,000.00 and tha� we use �3,000,00 4vorth of pipe that we have on hand bringing the tctal proj�et to approximately �12,000.00.

Commissioner Strang commeni:nd �hat it vr�,s a very good renort and shou�d prove to be a greaf. help to the Cit�riylauager in ma�ing all fu�ure extensions and he would recommend accepting the report at this time. The IVla,yor was of the opinion that the report would be invalu�ble to the Commission but tYiou�ht it would be well before consa.der3n; the revenue certificate question to Yzave another report frorn the Coun�y 2.nd to have an executive meetino io study the report; and make some defir.i�e l�ecoznmen- dations.

Shambaugh, Facul�y Advisor to the Exchaz�ge Group, for �200.00 with which to give a banquet in. honor of the delegates sent -Eo ClearTNater from Wyandotte, Michigan. The Commi�tee feel.s that since the Clearwater delegation tha� was sent to Wyandotte received such a prondErful reception we in turn should give a nice rece�ticn in Clearwater. We were advised that all expenses, other than the banquet, such as transportation, housing and enterta3.nment, are furnished by individuals so that i;he o�l.y obligations the c2ty should meet is that we properly nonor them with a banquet. The Committee, therefore, recommends that a$200,00 disbursement be macle to Marion F. Shambaugh for the banquet to be held on April 26, 1954. We do recommend that a final accounting be made as the request is based on an estimate. Very truly yours, �s� Robert W.
