secure the 51% ~urn-out by holding the City referendum in connection with the
County General Election on November 2nd. However, the County would not have
sufficient voting ~chines available to permit the use of separate machines by

the City, and if the re~erendum question were placed on the County voting machine

rulir.g in a municipal bond referendum it would be necessary to have 51f of the

issue to pass. It was the City Attorney�s opinion that it would be easier to
secure the 51% turn-out by holdi.ng the �ity referendum in connection with the
County i�eneral Election on November 2nd. FIowever, the County would not :�ave
sufficient voting machines available to permit the use of separats machines by
CITY COMMISSION NIEETING
September 20, 1954
the City, and if the reierendum question were placed on the County voting machine
ballot, it would be so placed that it could very e asily be overlooked by the�
vmters. Therefore, since the City law pertainir.; to the use of voting machines
Was permissive and not manda�ory, he recommended that the Australian ballot be
used. The I�fayor said the Commission was planning to h�ve a Town Hall meeting
and would need ne�r�spaper and radio publicity in order to get the facts concerning
the referendum before the �eople before the time of the �lection. Gommissioner
Strang moved that the date of the bond election of the City of Glearwater be set

according to City and State law. Motion was secon�ied by Commissioner Russell

the 5tate permanent re�istration syatem so no voting precincts would be partly
in and partly outside tne City. Corcunissioner Strang moved the Resolution be
passed and adopted and the pro�er officials be authorized to sign it. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.

Band i�oosters Association, requestin� a sum of �5,000.-00 to purchase new band
uniiorms for the senior high school band and also a request that money for the
