In regard to the offer of Mr. Harry Shepard to dedicate right of way for the west side of Duncan Avenue from Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard to Turner Street at the location desired by the City and a thirty foot right of way for the north side of Turner Street from Duncan to Keystone, the City Engineer presented a sketch Showing the proposed rights of way and pointed out that the City still needed to acquire a portion of the thirty foot right of way for the south side of Turner Street from Mr. V. V. Carmichael. The Engineer recommended accepting Mr. Shepard's offer of right-of-way in return for cancellation of $5,385.00 in prospective assessments for installing sewer and paving along Duncan Avenue. Commissioner Kennedy moved that the offer of Mr. Harry W. Shepard to dedicate the Duncan Avenue and Turner Street rights of way for the amount of' $5,3gS.00 which was to be set off against the paving assessment be accepted conditioned upon the City's ability to acquire the additional right or way on Turner Street as shown by the Ci~ Engineer's map and that the appropriate officials be authorized to negotiate with the owner (Mr. Carmichael) for the right of way.

The Engineer estimated the cost of constructin~ sixty feet of concrete seawall and thirty feet of wing ~al1 at the end of Jef~ords Street at .1,440.00. Commissioner Bohannon moved that the Mayor appoint a Committee to look over the site with the Engineer, to talk to the o~ner and bring back a recommendation. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and carried unanimously. The Mayor appointed Commissioners Russell and Kennedy to serve on the Committee to investi~ate the matter. The Manager reported that a request had been made by the property o~ners to ha ve Kendall Street paved from Mandalay Boulevard to the Gulf and a preliminary hearing had been held at which most of the property owners were favorable to the project. The Eneineer said that neither of the properties facing the Qul~ at the west end of Kendall Street have seawalls and the o~ners have indicated that they do not want one. He estimated the cost of forty feet of concrete seawall and sixty feet of wing wall at $1,650.00. The Mayor thou ~h t it would be too expensive for the City to install the seawall at the street end if the adjoining property owners were not ready to join in the construction. Commissioner Bohannon moved that the Inatter be referred to the Corrmittee appointed to check on the seawall for Jeffords Street. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. In regard to completing the paving of Gilbert Street across Brandon Avenue, the City Attorney explained that he had been negotiatir.g with Nancy Homes, Inc.. developers of New Marymont Firat Addition regarding their responsibility for finishing the paving of Gilbert across Brandon under their contract and bond to install improvements in the subdivision. He reported that he had received a check for $350.00, hal~ the estimated cost of the work, to be held in escrow until the City Commission approved a connection between Gilbert Street North and the Airport Road. The Engineer estimated that the cost of installing a culvert and paving to connect Gilbert Street f.lorth wi th the Airport Road at appro xi mat ely $400.00. The Mayor suggested that trucks be barred from using this road. Commissioner Kennedy moved that the City Engineer be instructed to connect up the northern end or Gilbert Street ~ith pavement and culvert to give access to the Municipal Airport for passenger vehicles only, work to be done by municipal workers, cost not to exceed $500.00. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously. A letter was read ~rom Mrs. Anna M. Whelan, representing Howard Johnson, Inc., inquirin~ if the property on the north side of Causeway Boulevard opposite the Marina Building (Lot 7, City Park Subdivision) would be available for lease or purchase to use as a site for a Howard Johnson restaurant. Mrs. Whelan, who was present, explained that the company proposed to build a restaurant seating 77 people at an approxinate cost of $75,000.00 and that the company would like a ten year lease ~ith a fifteen year option or a fifteen year lease ~ith a ten year option. Mr. Donald Beath, owner of two restaurants in the City, expressed the opinion that the City should receive the proper amount of money for the strategic position of the property and not make the lease so low as to be unfair competition to other restaurants on the Beach. Mr. Beath inquired if other proposals for the site would be considered as he would like to submit one. The Mayor replied that the City would be glad to take the best proposition that is offered. After discussion, the Commission agreed that the proposals should be on the basis o~ a ten year lease ~ith the fifteen year option; that the lessee should pay the assessed City, County and State taxes; that the proposal should include a minimum annua1 or monthly rent with a percenta~e of the gross income; also that the proposer should submit a floor plan, a perspective of the building, an estimate of cost, type of construction, and that the building be limited to one story only. Commissioner Russe11 moved that the City accept the proposal of Howard Johnson, Inc., and take it under advisement and that sealed.proposals be taken on October 17th for a restaurant business at that location. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Harold Hackney of the Sunset Sheet Metal Shop in ~hich he proposed to purchase City property with a 230 ~eet ~rontage on Hercules Road running north from Pistol Range Road with a depth of 170 ~eet at a price of $1,200.00 to use for his sheet metal, heating and air conditioning business. Commissioner Kennedy said he understood from Commissioners Strang and Bohannon that negotiations were taking place on some adjacent property. Therefore, Commissioner Kennedy moved that action be dererred on this proposal until it can be handled at the same time as the Commission makes a decision on the other property. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. A letter ~as read from Mr. W. L. Smith of the Smith Yacht Basin and Shrimp Boat Restaurant, Panama City, Florida. which contained a proposal for renting the second floor of the Marina Building and the first floor coffee shop which is presently under lease) or if arrangements could not be worked out with the lessee of the coffee shop, an of~er was made on the second floor deck by itsel~. Mr. Smith also made a proposal to include the seco~d floor room (presently occupied by the Beach Chamber of Commerce), the co~fee shop and property in front o~ the Marina for recreational purposes such as an outdoor bo~ling alley. The Mayor pointed out that if any proposal was accepted for the second floor space the City would need to find other space for the Chamber of Commerce activities. Commissioner Strang moved that the letter be received and acknowledged and that ,':. ;,t " ;, " /'<., ' ,., . ~ :-~'.

Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Floyd T. Christian, Superintendent of Public Instruction, which enclosed a bill of sale from the Board of Public Instruction, giving the City the building known as Pinellaa Vocational Building, located on the west side of Madison Avenue approximately 200 feet south of Cleve- land Street for the SUM of 11.00 in return for cancellation of $1,870.77 in improvement assessments 1'or paving and sanitary sewer on Missouri Avenue. The Mayor explained that the City had been trying to obtain the building for use as a Colored Y.W.C.A. and that it would be moved to the area of Madison and Russell Street on property now under lease to the Y.W.C.A. It was estin~ted that it would cost $1,500.00 to move the building. Commissioner Russell moved that the City accept the offer of the Board of Public Instruction by cancelling the $1,870.77 Missouri Avenue assessments in exchan~e for the vocational building on Madison Avenue; that the building be described sufficiently to make certain the City gets the right one; that the City Manager be charged with the responsibility of imple- menting the removal from the premises and getting it on the proper lot. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Strang and carried unanimously. Commissioner RU8sell Russell suggested that a letter be written to the Board of Public Instruction thanking them for their cooperation. Item 4-F, "Letter from William Trickel, Bomber Booster Club", was deferred to the next me eting. In regard to the request from Mr. Blanks Bveritt, radio technician, for a revision to his contract which would eliminate the assistant he now has and increase his salary $50.00 to cover the extra work, the City Manager reported that he agreed with the recommendation of the Chief of Police and the City Attorney as at the present time it is impossible to get an assistant for Mr. Everitt. However, he suggested that Mr. Everitt try to find an assistant as soon as possible. Commissioner Strang moved that the contract be amended on a temporary basis according to the letter and the proper officials be authorized to execute it. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried unanimously. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Alex D. Finch requesting the Commission to consider proposed ordinances prepared at the request of the electricians of Clearwater and recommended by the Electrical Association of Upper Pinellas County. Commissioner Strang commented that he had read the ordinances and approved them in general but would suggest some changes. After discussion of the ordinances with Mr. Finch and some of the electricians in the audience, the Commission agreed to postpone action until October 17th to allow time for the Association's Electrical Committee to meet with Commissioner Strang, the City Attorney, Electrical Inspector Schamehorn and Mr. Aubrey Ort, Superintendent of the Electrical Department. The City Manager reported that it was planned on October 17th to hold a Public Hearing and advertise for bids for constructing a sidewalk on the north side of Palmetto Street west of the new Pinellas High School. Commissioner Kennedy suggested that the City Engineer and the City Manager make a resume or survey of gaps in sidewalks that are now bothering foot traffic and that the Commission go over them and pick out the most essential ones so money can be set aside in the next budget to get a sidewalk program started.

Mr. Ferguson also requested execution of the same type of agreement previously sent to the City concerning an extension o~ the lS foot easement immediately north of the property.

Hohenstein and other owners of Tract A, Hillcrest Drive Re-Sub.
