The Mayor called the meeting to order and explained that the meeting had
been called as a Public ~earing f'or the purpose of' going over the budget and
adopting the millage to be assessed for the 1955-56 budget year. A petition was
read signed by 377 people requesti~ that funds be appropriated in the budget to
construct another pier-groin into the Gulf on City property in the vicinity of
Water Tank Park in~ead of providing funds far extending the present City pier
at the west end or Causeway Boulevard. The Mayor explained that no funds had
been set aside in the budget far extending the present pier. He said there were
SODle people who held the opinion that the City should survey the entire beach,
public and private, with a view to establishing groins on both the public and
private property, with the work to be assessed when completed to the property
owners participating in the benefits and the City to pay its share on street ends,
etc. He stated that the City does not have the authority to assess for such
work under the Charter or any Special Acts and it is not possible for the present
Legislature to consider any new bills from cities in the special session. The
Mayor said the Commission would agree not to proceed with spending any money on
the extension of the present pier ~ithout looking into the need for groins in
other areas to determine which one would be needed the most.
, Mr. Garrett McKernan, member of the Erosion Committee of the Clearwater
Beach Association, spoke to the Commission on the danger to swimmers that exists
f'rom the old jagged wooden groins in the Gulf, some at the street ends and some
on private property. Toe Mayor pointed out that some of these old groins have
been removed but as the sands shift, more turn up. Mr. Curtis Earl commented
that a report was submitted on the condition of the old groins by the Clearwater
Beach Association in March, 195~, with a request for action. The Mayor asked
that a new recommendation from the Erosion Committee be submitted.
The Mayor reported that he had appointed a Citizens Advisory Committee
consisting of H. M. Turnburke, auditor; Lewis Homer. realtor; W. S. Shannon,
realtor; J. L. BeardSley, Clearwater Sun editor; Leland Drew, businessman; and
R. 0; Downie, vice-president of' the Federation of Civic Clubs. He said he had
met with the Committee to study the proposed plan to finance $1,200,000.00 in
capital improvements by an increase of 2 mills in the taxes to raise .100,000.00
and by a _1,500,000.00 revenue certificate issue to provide the $1,100,000.00
balance for the i~provements and to refinance $437,000.00 in Utility Department
Revenue Certificates 'already outstanding. He reported that the Committee
recommended as follows:
1. That the City immediately overhaul the water distribution system at
a cost of $600,000.00;
2. That the City overhaul the sanitary sewerage facilities immediately
at a cost of $420,000.00;
3. That the City take care of' some badly needed storm sewer projects at
a cost of 180,000.00;
4. That~the City use 1100,000.00 in street resurfacing.
It was also recommended by the Committee that the City finance these improvements
by issuing Utility Revenue Certificates and that $100,000.00 be secured by
increasing the tax rate by t~o mills. Mre R. O. Downie reported that as a member
of the Advisory Committee he was heartily in favor of the proposed budget and
that personally he thought the funds raised by the two mill increase should be
ear.marked for capit.al improvements and not put in the General Fund.
In answer to an inquiry from the audience as to why the Recreation Department
budget ~as increased by t18,000.00, the Mayor explained th&t the recreational
program had been increased by adding such new recreational facilities as the
Negro Swimming Poo1, the new baseball stadil1M, the building on the former Hartsell
property, and the Youth Recreation Centers at the Beach and the Municipal Auditorium.

OI'1'Y COMMI SSION MEETING
June 24, 1955
Mr. Paul Ficht, Manager of the Chamber of Commerce, addressed the Commission
stating that the Chamber of Commerce did not consider the amount allotted to them
in the new budget as sufficient to permit carrying on a progressive program.
During the discussion that follow!~1. the Mayor pointed out that the Chamber ot
Commerce budget was increased e8,uuu.OO over last year. making a total ot
.68.000.00 for the coming year, and the Commission felt that the increase given was
all that could be done in order to balance the budget and hold th~ tax line.
A representative from the Florida Gulf Coast Art Center inquired if the Art
Center's request for an appropriation of $3,500.00 had been approved. The Mayor
replied that no decision had been made on the request.
Mr. R. L. Hendershott of the Chamber of Commerce Convention Bureau asked it
the budget included funds to air condition the Municipal Auditorium. The Mayor
ans~ered that a contingent amount had been placed in the budget to do complete
remodeling and air conditioning of the Auditorium if the Commissioners find that
it is feasible to do the complete project.
In ans.er to a question from Commissioner Kennedy as to whether the funda
obtained from the two mill increas8 can legally be earmarked tor the proposod
capital improvements, the City Attorney stated that it would be possible but it
would have to be under some heading such as street improvements or capital
expenditures. The Mayor suggested that a motion be made directing the City Manager
and the City Treasurer to specifically designate that two milla ot the taxes
shall be earmarked in a "Special Improvement Fund" and will be drawn upon under
direction of the COlIDDission when the special improvements are <bne. Commissioner
Strang moved that after this Public Hearing having been held and the objections
and suggestions having been heard by the Commission and duly considered, that the
Budget Resolution adopted on the 21st day of June, A.D. 1955, be and the same i8
hereby confirmed with the following amendment that the millage ror operation as
set out in Section 2 thereof be 10.6 mills instead of 8.6 mills and that there be
no change in the debt service millage as set out in Section 3 thereor and that the
additional revenue anticipated by the change in millage be entered in the
appropriate place for estimated revenue and that the expenditures of that
additional anticipated revenue be shown and categorized as "Special Improvement
Fund", making the total millage assessed by Sections 2 and 3 of the Resolution
14.2 mills. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously.
As requested by the Commission at the June 21st meeting. the City Attorney
reported he had investigated and found that it would take a Special Act or the
Florida Legislature to change the beginning of the City's fiscal year trom
July 1st to October 1st; therefore, it could not be done until the 1957 Legislature
convenes.

The Mayor recommended that a Resolution be prepared addressed to the County
Commission to forward to the State Road Department a request that Memorial Causeway
be taken over for maintenance from the City.. Commissioner Strang moved that such
a Resolution be prepared for the State to take over the maintenance of Memorial
qauseway and that the proper officials be authorized to execute it. Motion was
seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.
