Brown John W. Bates Guy L. Kennedy Jack Russell W. E. Strang, Jr. Mayor-Commissioner Commissioner Commiss:l,oner Commissioner Commissioner Also present were: F. C. M:1.ddleton B. J. Driver G. T. McClamma City Manager Asst. City Attorney Chief of Police The Mayor announced that the City Commission was now convening as Trustees of the Sinking Fund of the City of Clearwater and said that the first item of business was the discussion of the proposed sale of certain land held by the Trustees to the City of Clearwater. The City Attorney reported that he had prepared a deed to the City from the Trustees. He explained that this deed was to be given in order to fulfill the Trustees' obligation to convey this property which they had previously agreed to convey to the City for the purpose of constructing a Baseball Stadium on it. He stated the consideration of $5,000.00 had previously been established and he believed the Trustees felt that this was a valid and a good consideration for the sale of the property. Commissioner Bates moved that we acting as Trustees of the Bond Sinking Fund approve the conveyance of this property described as: "That portion of the replat of the New Country Club Addition Subdivision according to the map or plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 20, Page 64, of the Public Records of Pinellas County, Florida, more particularly described as: All of Block E and that portion of Block D bounded by Palmetto Street on the North, Missouri Avenue on the East, Seminole Street on the South and Block E on the West." to the City of Clearwater for the sum of Five Thousand Dollars, and further we authorize that this deed be held until the acceptance of the offer of sale by the City is made and then the contract can be completed. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The Trustees, the Mayor and the City Manager executed the deed. There being no further business to come before the Trustees of the Sinking Fund, Commissioner Russell moved that the meeting be adjourned. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The City Commission now meeting as the City Commission considered the purchase of the tract of land from the Trustees of the Sinking Fund. The City Attorney reported that the Trustees have executed a deed which he has examined and it appears to be in order if it is the wish of the City to purchase the property. Commissioner Russell moved that the City of Clearwater purchase from the Board o~ Trustees certain properties described as "That portion of the replat of the New Country Club Addition Subdivision according to the map or plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 20, Page 64, of the Public Records of Pinellas County, Florida, more particularly described as: All of Block E and that portion of Block D bounded by Palmetto Street on the North, Mjssouri Avenue on the East, Seminole Street on the South and Block E on the West, II for the sum of Five Thousand Dollars, this money to be paid immediately and that the proper officials be authorized to accept the deed and record it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. The Mayor announced that the next item for consideration was the re-enactment of the validation Ordinance 654 and stated that it had been found that there were some conflicting laws in the way that the Bond Validation Ordinance was enacted: 1. That the Charter provision was that the Ordinance be advertised by title only within five days after it was enacted. 2. A General Act of the Legislature allowed a municipality to either publish an Ordinance or post it in two prominent places in the City. Since the qu~stion has come up in Circuit Court, it was felt that the Ordinance should be re-enacted and advertised in the paper in conformance with the Charter provisions rather than under the general laws of the State of Florida. Commisbioner Kennedy therefore moved that in view of objections raised by the State Attorney at the bond validation hearing yesterday in the Circuit Court and in compliance with instructions o~ Circuit Judge Joml U. Bird that Bond Ordinance 654 which was previously passed and enacted on third and final reading and adopted April 9th be now re-read and considered for re-enactment. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. -1- ,. ~, ...~.__.~_. It;;'./ ..'.......--... . ,'. ; '\ ' ~ . . .~, "; ", L " '. ", ' .. 't,"". .,.'...
