Regarding the bids for 133 tires and 112 tubes of various sizes, tbe

He explained that tbe quantities were based on last year's requirements and this
year's needs might vary slightly. The Manager, joined by the Purchasing Agen~.
recommended dividing the bid for tires and tubes between the Standard Oil
Company and the Pure Oil Company and awarding the bid tor 44 retreads to Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company, the low bidder. Commissioner Bohannon moved that ~he
Manager's recommendation on tbese ~ires be carried out (that the bid be divided

for a Ford tractor with side mounted mower and rear mounted mower bad been care-
fully rechecked and it was found that both tractors met the specifications. Mr.
Virgil Dobson, Superintendent of the Parks Departmen~, said that either tractor
could be used as the tractor would be independent due to the equipment which
would be purchased at the same time; therefore, he suggested accepting the low
bid for the International tractor. Commissioner Bohannon moved that Mr. Dobson's
recommendation be carried out and the bid be awarded to Orange State Motor Company,
the low bidder. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Russell came in at this time -- 2:10 P.M.

CITY COMMISSION .mEfINO
August 1, 1955
The Mayor announced a Public Hearing on the construction of a pavemen~ and
curb in Hobart Avenue rrom approximately 115 feet south of the south line or
Pinewood Street to the north line or Drew Street. The Manager reported that a
preliminary hearing had been held and that there wero questions as to whether all
or the trees in the right-of-way would need to be removed and whether the owners
of property on the .eat side of Hobart could be assessed as they have already
paid one paving assessment (for Orangewood). The City Attorney read objections
from the follo.ing affected property owners in Glenwood Estates Addition -_
Mr. Chas. R. Carlson, Mr. Thomas H. Wallace, Mr. K. E. Speicer, Mr. Hugh W.
Robertson. Letters favoring the paving to eliminate the dust situation were read
from Mr. Carl .1. Krause, Mr. John Manss and Mr. Will. M. McGinnis. Mr. Jonn Mans.
addreS8ed the Commission pointing o~t that the right-o~.way for Hobart Avenue was
dedicated in the plat ot Glenwood Estates Addition tiled o~ Febr~ary 12, 1925,
and thererore the property owners were on notice that there was a dedicated
street at both sides of that particular tier ot lots. Mr. Ralph Richards,
representing some o~ the affected propertr owners in Glenwood Estatee Addi~ion.
objected to assessing any part of the pav ng ot Hobart Aven~e to ~e owners on
tne west side as they had already paid for street paving i~ fro~t of their houees
on Orangewood. Tht Mayor asked the Clerk to check to see whether the paYing
assessments against Lots 58 to 69, Glen~ood Estates Addi~ion, were paid in full
and the report was that the assessments against six of the lots were abated and
six were paid in full. ,The Manager said from a planning standpoint Hobart Avenue
is the first street east of Glenwood that is a direct street north.
In answer to a question as to how many trees would have to be moved for a
thirty foot pavement, the Engineer estimated that twenty-three trees (all of then)
.ould have to be removed and a twenty foot street would save only about three of
them. He estimated the total cost of the work with a thirty foot street a~
.3,863.98 or $3.28 per front foot with the cost 26~ less for a twenty foot pavement.
He recommended that the thirty foot pavement be approved as he did not think it
a good practice to approve a minimum of less than tbirty feet. In reply to a
question, the Engineer said there was a twelve foot strip paved by the property
owner in r~nt of Lots 11 and 12, Grand View Terrace, to provide access to those
lots. During the discussion, it was discovered that the legal notice included
only tbe property from 115 feet south of Pinewood Street to Dre_ S~reet and did
not inClude the part in rront o~ Lots 11 and 12, Grand View Terrace. The Mayor
sugges~ed that the property owner could be given due credit for the twelve toot
strip ~ready paved but that the new thirty foot paving shoald be continued from
the north line of Dre~ Street to the south line of Pinewood Street. It was the
City Attorney's recommendation that this Public Hearing should be cancelled and
a new Pablic Hearing be advertised to include the property Nhich ~as omitted.
Commissioner Strang moved that the Public Hearing be cancelled and that the
Engineer, the Attorney and the City Manager be instructed to re-advertise this
for a Public Hearing from the south line or Pinewood Street to tne north line o~
Drew Street. tbat it be sent to the Planning Board ror any reconunendations that
tbey might want to make, and also that the Attorney be instructed ~o check on the
legality of assessing the people on Orangewood who abut this street and bring a
recommendation at tbe next Public Hearing. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Kennedy an d carried unanimously.
The City Attorney presented for the approval of the Commission an agreemen~
lid. th the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad COlDpany in which the Railroad grants to
tb.e City the right to construct a crossing across tb.e Atlantic Coast Line tracks
at Pierce Street. Ke said a Resolution accompanied the agreement which would
authorize the proper officials to execute the agreement. During the discussion,
Commissioner Strang sugges~ed that the phrase stating that automatic signals
would be installed by the Railroad at the expense or the Licensee (the City) be
cbanged to read at no cost to the Railroad. Commissioner Strang moved that tne
agreement with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Resolution be approved
and adopted and the proper officials be authorized to sign it subject to that one
line being revised that says that the Railroad will install the signals at the
expense of the Licensee (the City). Motion was seconded by Commissioner Eohannon
and carried unanimously.
The Mayor reported that he had received a letter requesting hi~ to appoint
someone to represent the City on the Pinellas County Industrial Council. He
explained he was not ready to suggest a person to be appointed at this meeting
but requested authority to make the appointment before the next aeeting.
Commdssioner Kennedy moved that the Mayor be authorized to make this appointmen~
of a member to represent the City Commission on the Pinellas County Industrial
Council. Motion was seconded ~ Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.
Regarding the 100 foot strip ot City property fronting on Hercules Avenue
wbich the City pro~osed to sell to Ellis and Ford. Inc., for light industry
purposes, tbe City Manager reported that he had received a reeoD1lllendation f'rODl
~he Planning Board calling attention to the fact that this property 'Would be in
direct line with Palmetto Street if' tne right-of-way is ever extended to Hercules
Avenue and suggested that at least a 50 foot right-of-way north of the center line
be retained. The Manager suggested that a Committee be appointed to 88~ a policy
as ~o what the Commission plans to do with the balance of ~his property and the
forty acres of City property north of the Airport. Commissioner S~rang suggested
that the Manager be given a Committee to work with him to determine 'What use Should
be made of ~h1s property adjacent to the Airport and also to try to find more land

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
August 1, 1955
for sanitary till. ComDdssioner Kennedy moved that the City cease negotiations
with Ellis and Ford to sell the 100 foot strip on Hercules Avenue and that that
particular piece of property be withdrawn from sale with the City Manager
authorised to try to find other property for Ellis and Ford. Motion was seconded
by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously.
The City Attorner read on its third reading Ordinance 662 which would pro-
hibit vehicular pedd1 ng of goods, wares or merchandise in certain specified
areas such as the business section downtown and on the beach, parking areas and
public areas. Commissioner Kennedy inquired if the phrase selling or peddling
of goods from vehicles would also prohibit selling from pushcarts, etc. The
Mayor suggested making an amendment in the definition of the vehicles to include
trucks, vans, motor scooters, pushcarts, etc. Commissioner Kennedy moved that
Ordinance 682 as amended be passed on its third and final reading and that the
proper officials be authorized to execute it. Motion waa seconded by Commissioner
Bohannon and carried unanimously.
A Resolution was read which would formally name aa Mandalay Park the City
park bounded on the north by Bay Esplanade, on the east by Mandalay Boulevard, '
on the south by Rockaway Street and on the west by Gulf Drive. The Mayor 8ugfeated
that the Resolution be amended to read bounded on the west by the Gulf of Mex co.
Commissioner Russell moved that the Resolution be adopted as amended and the
proper officials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Strang and carried unanimously.
The City Attorney read a Resolution assessing the cost or the pavement and
curb in Laura Street from San Remo Avenue to Highland Avenue against the benefited
properties. Commissioner Strang moved that the Resolution be passed and adopted
and tbe proper of~icials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution requiring torty-two property owners
to clean their lots of weeds and underbrush. Commissioner Strang moved that the
Resolution be adopted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried
unanimously.
In regard to a memo sent to the Mayor and the Commissioners by Mr. A. M.
Kruse, Chairman or the Planning Board, suggesting that the Manager be directed to
have all utility lines laid in the Drew Street area before the new pavement i8
constructed, the Manager reported that surveys are being made and the maps are
being checked to see if any new lines should be installed before the pavement is
put in. The Mayor announced that the contract for paving and widening Route 590
would be let on August 15th in Tallahassee.
The City Attorney reported that an idea had been presented suggesting that
when the City paves a parking lot that it might be possible to get the paving
contractor to pave it and take his compensation back from the parking meters
instead of making it a capital expenditure. He said that one contractor had
suggested that the City explore the possibility of issuing certificates for the
work and have the certificates pay back at about the same rate the meters would
bring revenue in. The Mayor appointed a Committee of Commissioners St.rang and
Russell to investigate methods of finanCing and bring back a recommendation on
the parking lot south ot the Municipal Pier on the Beach.
Commissioner Kennedy reported that he and Commissioner Bohannon had checked
the property which Mr. Herbert Blanton acting as agent had offered to sell to the
City (Lots 1,2,3, Block 13, Court Square and Lots 16,17,18, Block 13, Magnolia'
Park) and it was the Committee's recommendation that an appraisal should be
secured. By consent, the Committee was authorized to obtain an appraisal of the
property.
The Commission now adjourned as the City ComDdssion and acting as Trustees
of tbe Pension Fuhd admitted Joseph F. Drake to membership in the Pension Plan
subject to a waiver of any claim for disability from a speCified back trouble,
on a motion by Commissioner Kennedy which was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon
and carried unanimously. '
There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was
adjourned at 3:40 P.M.

GITY CdN1MISSION MEETI�d(3
August 1, 1955
The Mlayor announced a Publfc Hoaring on tho canstruction of a pave�ent and
curb in Hobart Avenue grom approximatelp 115 feet soutn oi �he south line of
Pinewood Street to the north l�ne of Drew Streeto The Manager reporbed that a
preliminary hearing had been held and that thera wsre qusstions as to whether all
af the trees in the right-of-way would r�eed to be removed and whether the owners
of property on the west side of Kobart could be asseased as they have already
paid one paving assessment (for Orangewood). The City Attorney read objections
from tne fo1.I.owing aifected property owners in Glenwood Estates Addition a-
Mr: Chas. R. Carlson, Mr. �homas H. Wallace, Mr. H. E. Speic�f, Mr. aiu�h W.
Robea°tson. Lett�ers favoring the paving to elxminate the dust situation wor� read
%rom Mr. Cax�l J. Krause, Mr. John Manss and NLr. Wm. M. McGinnis. Mro John Mansa
address�d �he Comarissia�► pointing out that the right-of-�ray for Hobart Avenue was
dedicated in the plat af Glenwood Estatea Addit3on filed on Fabruary 12, 1925,
ancl th�refore the prop�rtp owners were on notice �hat there v�as a dedicated
strae� at both sides of tha� particular tier of Iots. Mr. Ralph Richards,
repr�senting some of the affected property owners in Glenwood Estates Addition,
objec�..� to assessing an3� part of the paving of Hobart Avenue �o the owners �ae
the me�� side as they had already paid i�or street pavin� imm �ont oi' their housea
an Orangewood. The May�r asked the Clerk to ataeck to see whether the paving
assessmen�s against Lots 5$ �0 69, Glenwood Estates Addition, were paid in fu�l
and the raport vaas that the assessments against six ni the lots were abated and
sfx �ere paid in fu11� The N�anagex� said from a planning standpoint Hobart Avenue
is the firs� street east oF Glenwood that is a dir�ct street north.
Tn answer to a ques�ion zs to how many trees would have to be moved for a
thirty foot pavement, the Engineer es�timated �hat twenty-three trees (all o£ themj
would ha�e to be removed and a tw�nty faot street would save only about three o�
tiaem. He estimated the total Gost of the work with a thirty foo� street at
�3,$63.Q$ or �3.2$ �er front foot with the cast 20� less for a twenty foot pavement.
H$ recornmended that �he tinirty i�oot pa�rement be approved as hs did not thindc it
a good prac'�ice to approve � mini�um of �ess �han thirty feet. In rep�y �o a
question, the Engineer said there was a twelve foot strip paved by the gz�ogertp
owner in froat of Lots 11 and 12, Grand Vi�w Terrace, �o provide access ta thos$
loCs. During the discussion, it wa� discovered that the legaZ notice incl,uded
only the pz�opertg fsom il� feet soutfi o� Pinewflod Street tc Drew Str�et and di�
not'include the part in front o� Lots I1 and 12, Grand View Terrace. The Mayor
sugges�ed that the property owner could be given due esedit for �he twelve foo�
stxip already paved �ut that the new thirty foot gaving should be continued from
the north line of Brew Street to the south line of Pinewovd S�Gx��et. It was the
City Attorney's recc��mendation that this Public Hearing should be caricellQd and
a aew Public Hearing be advertised to include the property which was omitted.
Commisaioner Strang moverl that the Public Hearing be cance3led and that tyie
Engineer, �he At�orney and the Citp Manager be instructed to re4advertise this
