'..:' I I . \ ': . . 1 I l 1 , . I I 1 'j I The Mayor announced the Public Hearing on paving of Turner Street betwee n Greenwood Avenue and Missouri Avenue. The Engineer stated that the description of the proposed right of way would make Turner Street co-terminous on both ends. The City Manager reported that Mr. W. A. Walker, the property owner on the north side, was requesting the paving of the street and was willing to adjust his property to make the street co-terminous. The City Attorney reported that he had received deeds ~or the Turner Street right o~ way from Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Walker and from Mr. and Mrs. Angelo Carapelle but he did not have a deed from Mrs. Simon Marks. Mr. Wm. Castagna, attorney for Mrs. Marks, explained that there has been a dispute between the adjoining landowners as to the actual location of the north and south boundary of Mrs. Marks' property and that the matter is now being litigated in the Circuit Court. He stated that if the boundary is moved to the north, part of Mrs. Marks' property will be in the desired street right of way. The M~or suggested it mi~ht be possible to cancel part of the assessment in exchange for a deed from ,LV1rs. Marks for the three or six feet necessary. Mr. Castagna was of the opinion that the Court would render a decision on the Case ~thin the next two weeks. Commissioner S~rang moved that this Public Hearing on the paving of Turner Street between Greenwood and Missouri Avenue be adjourned to March 19, 1956, with instructions that the City Attorney and the Engineering Department work with the property owners, in particular with Mrs. !~rks who is represented by Mr. Wm. Castagna, and try to make a proper adjustment for the right of way, bearing in mind that the Commission requires that the street be co- terminous on both ends. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Roberts and carried unanimously. A letter was read from Mr. C. L. Jaynes, Secretary of the Clearwater Symphony, Inc., requesting an additional 4400.00 or a little more to assist the orchestra in completing the 1955-56 season.

In regard to the proposal to ~ill on ~he north side of Stevenson Creek along Sunset Foint Road, the City Engineer reported that it was planned to straighten up the north bank of the creek by pumping approximately 10,000 yards or fill at an estimated cost of 3~~ a yard or a total cost of $3,400.00. He explained t~~ this would take care of the mud rlats and clean out the channel and it was planned to pump this on the north side with the permission of the property owners as the dredge did not have enough pipe line to take it back to the City's property on the other side. He stated that the Planning Bea rd in its overall plan was asking for 120 foot rignt of way for Sunset Point Road as it was planned to make it a main thoro~are. The Mayor suggested that the Engineer prepare a sketch showing the proposed line and grade ~or the new fill and have it approved with the signatures of t.he affected property owners. A letter was read signed by seven owners of property on the north side of Stevenson Creek granting the Ci~ permission to fill in front o~ their property. Commis sioner Roberts moved that because of the neces- sity of improving the channel in Stevenson Creek, the offer of property owners on the north side of Stevenson's Creek, which offer was evidenced in writing by letter dated Januar:r 31, 1956, regarding the pumping o~ additional fill on the north bank of Stevenson s Creek be accepted with the amendment that the fill be created and deposited according to a line and a grade to be shown on a print to be prepared by the City Engineer and that before the filling is done, the property owners shall indicate their approval of the line and the g~ade by signing the print. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Insco and carried unanimously. _L -.-. ~ . .... .... ;"".:. . .:'.. .... I, " -' I_r':- .. .' ~ ,:_ ~ ..-.....~. 1/ ~j'.'.i,:,;,;,/.....,. li'l.\ '~_..j ....' , .'

He said it would be possible to rent a room in back ot the Planning Board to be used by the Planning Board and the En~ineering Department together ~or a drafting room for $50.00 a month, and the Building Department could then be moved into part of the space now occupied by the Planning Board. Commissioner Bohannon inquired if it was possible to enlarge the City Hall in the near future. 'l'here was some discussion a.s to the feasibility report from Fiscal Agent R. W. Spragins which suggested financing the addition to the City Hall by renting space to the various Departments. By consent, the City Manager was instructed to present a floor plan to show the proposed arrangement for the three Departments for the approval of the Commission. A letter was read from Mrs. ~ack A. Smith, President of the YWCA, requesting a contribution of $5,000.00 appropriated to the YWCA at the meeting of February 21st, 1955. An excerpt from the minutes of that date was read showing the intention o~ the City to set aside $5,000.00 in the next budget for the Building Fund and to assume the YWCA's portion of the assessment for the paving of the 8treets adjacent to Block Y, Hibiscus Gardens Subdivision. A letter ~s also received from the YWCA requesting the paving of the streets around Block Y in accordance with the minutes. '!'be City Manager reported that he had received a request tram the owners of adjacent property for the street paving also. Commissioner Strang suggested that 3 rutl1c Hearicg ~e ect up on the paving of the streets adjacent to Block Y. Commissioner Bohannon commented that a group of people were interested in establish- ing a YMCA in Clearwater and wondered if the City would make a like donation to help that program. By consent, the City Engineer was instructed to set up a Public Hearing for the second regular meeting in April (April 16) on paving the streets surrounding Block Y. A petition signed by twelve property o~ners in Brookside Subdivision was read asking that Brookside Drive be repaired so the water will not stand in front or their residences. The Engineer reported that it would cost approximately .4,500.00 to improve the drainage. It was pointed out that the property owners were never assessed for the original street as the developer had installed it prior to the adoption of Ordinance 632. By consent, the City Manager was instructed to advise the signers of the petition of the estimated cost and that a Public Hearing would be necessary. A letter was read from the Special Events Committee of the Chamber of Commerce recommending ~hat the request of the Optimist Club for $300.00 to defray expenses of the Pram Regatta be granted. Commissioner Bohannon moved that the request be granted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Roberts and carried unanimously. In reporting on the legality of the proposed Regional Planning Board, the City Attorney stated that the County zoning laws would prevent any such Board with actual administrative powers but that each City has the power to create advisory boards with no administrative authority; therefore, the Regional Planning Board could be formed by Resolution of the several cities involved and the County, if the County area was being encompassed, and the proposed Board would be advisory in nature only. He said it would be necessary for the cities to adopt a Resolution and approve the proposed charter at the same time. The Commissioners indicated that they would like a little time to study the charter which had been presented at a previous meeting and have the matter placed on the agenda for the next meeting. Commissioner Strang moved that lacking the positive information necessary to decide on the charter and all its many elements, that the Commission go on record as favoring setting up a Regional Planning Board encompassing the Cities of Clearwater, Safety Harbor, Dunedin, Bel1eair and Largo, and that the City Attorney and the Chairman of the present City Planning Board be authorized to implement such a program and bring the necessary elements back to the Commission for its final recommendation and approval and that the unincorporated areas be represented by the County Co~ission and the County Planning and Zoning Board. Motion was seconded by Commissrner Bohannon and carried unanimously. A letter from the Clearwater Power Squadron was read objecting to the portion of the Resolution dedicating the ri11ed area in Stevenson Creek as a park which would prohibit the use of the area as a small boat basin. The City Attorney read the Resolution dedicating as a park the City property between the north side or Calumet Street and the channel of Stevenson Creek which did not include any mention of a boat basin. Commissioner Strang moved that the letter from the Power Squadron be received and considered in the development of the iark and that the Clerk be authorized to write a letter enclosing a copy of the esolution. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimously. Commissioner Roberts moved that the Resolution for the dedication of the Stevenson's Creek area described in this Resolution be passed and adopted and recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court, County of Pinellas. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Insco. Upon the vote being taken, Commissioners Roberts, Insco, Bohannon and Brown voted "Aye". Commissioner Strang voted "No". Motion carried. , .

He also read a memo from the proposed lessee asking that the amount of insurance required as set out in the lease be decreased which the City Attorney did not recommend. Several amendments to the lease were suggested by the Commissioners a~d were noted by the City Attorney for inclusion in the lease. The Mayor stated that he regretted that he was not able &0 be present at the last meeting when the Commission tentatively approved the lease and gave the lessee permission to go ahead with the construction pending final approval and the submitting of the lay-out for the proposed miniature golf course. It was his opinion that it would have been better to leave the property as a park than lease it for such a small amount, and also ~hat by permitting the lessee to sell food and cold drinks, it would make him a competitor of the Pier Pavilion which is paying the City a considerable amount of money and is en~itled to protec~ion from competi- tive business. Commissioner Strang pointed out that the lessee would be paying approximately $50.00 a month in taxes in addition to the rent. Commissioner Roberts inquired if the proposed lay-out had been submitted and was informed that it had not. The Mayor commented that restrooms would be required by the Health Department if the lessee would be selling food. Commissioner Bohannon recommended that the Mayor re-activate the former Committee to confer with Mr. Rankin, with authority to stop the work if necessary in order to resolve these problems. The Mayor re-appointed Commissioners Roberts and Strang to serve on this Committee. Commissioner Bohannon moved that the Commi~tee be authorized to take whatever steps are necessary to conclude this problem satisfactorily. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Insco and carried unanimously. .. , I . i !

A letter was read from Mr. Lee L. Baker, Library Board member, requestlng the use of all of the Library Annex for Library purposes or at least to reserve the downstairs of the building for the Library. Miss Sarah Byers, Librarian, addressed the Commission describing the uses for which the Library needs the space. Commissioner Strang explained that the Civil Service and the Recreation Departments would occupy the building on a temporary basis only.

Commissioner Strang moved that Ordinance 702 be passed on its first reading. Motion ~as seconded by Commissioner Insco and carried unanimously. Commissioner Bohannon pointed out that the sand filter system to be used by this subdivision had been approved by the State Health Department but was not recommended by the City Engineer and ~ou1d involve the City taking over maintenance of the sand filter. The Mayor suggested drawing a Resolution to ~he State Health Department asking them not to approve any more sand filters for subdivisions inside the City limits.

Moti on was seconded by Commissioner Insco and carried unanimously. The City Attorney read the Ordinance by title only.

I~ was t,he hope of ~he s~~phony board That we would not have to ask for the additional $400, and, if ~he wea~her had been more favorable when we gave our first two concerts, we probably would not- have had to do so. However. since we ran in~o bad luck bot.h times with inclement wea~her and, therefore, our door receipt-s were down ~o almost no+hing, we are in ex~reme need for financial assistance in order to give our final concert of the season on March 9th. Withou~ this assistance we do no~ see how we will be able to go ahead with this concert, which, in a growing ci~y like Clearwater, would reflect. in a bad way. "', . ~ :. :', ".'~. :. .'. :' ;'~ ,.'

CITY COr~ISSION MEETING ~Ulrch 5. 1956 {Con~inued} Last year we also asked for $900 but were Biven only $500. As we were able to pull ~hroueh on our own we did not ask for the balance. However, assistance was given t.o a. visit.ing orchest,ra that. only r~~peat.s its homet.own (St. Pe+.ersburg) concert, here a week 1at,er. 'rht~Y were also ~iven $500 ;:!t, +-he beginning of t.he season but near the end of ~he season they received from ~he ci~y of Clearwater an addi 10.1 onal $1.300 because t-,hey said t,hey needed +.he money. All of t.he $H~OO from Clearwat.er went. back 10.0 St,. Pet,ershurg as t-.hey do not. have one Clearwater musician in their orchest.ra. We carry the name of Clearwater - we are Clearwater's OWN orchestra, our concer~8 are not rep~ats of any o~her cit-y, and we employ every available Clearwat.er musician who can qualify. Will you, therefore, Honorable Mayor Brown and City Commissioners grant us the additional $400 or a little more in order ~hat we can continue and finish our season. Wi~h $400 we can ~ive ~he March 9t.h concert by cutting a few musicians. If you could see your way clear ~o ~ive us a little additional we will ~hen be able ~o have ~he whole orchestra as before. We believe the cit.y of Clearwater can be very proud of what we are doing for the cit.y.

S. Government-Sanctioned U. S. Power Squadrons. The primary object of +he USPS is educa~ional ~hat is t.o establish a high s~andard of skill in the handling of boats of all kinds. Every year we give elementary and advanced ins~ruction in support of t.his purpose and over the years we have so instructed many hundreds of Clearwater residen~s. Each year our classes become larger and in 1955 ~he Elementary Piloting Class numbered 165 boating enthusiasts. This parallels the trend ~hroughou~ the whole coun~ry. Every day more and more people are becoming boa~ing conscious and are learning of +he joys and bene- fits of this wonderful recreation. Many of our members con~ribute to this valuable work done by t.he Clearwat.er Power Squadron in various ways, as lecturers, ins~ruc+'ors in ~he Piloting classes, organizing and maintaining the Sea Scout. Ships and assisting the local Coast Guard Auxiliary in it's valuable service to this community. There is no place in the whole United States better suited to boating than is Clearwa+-er. There is no single in~erest or ~he residents of Clearwater that can approach in numbers and en~husiasm +he spor+. of boating and fiShing. Therefore, in our responsibili~y ~o ~he public of Clearwater, this organiza- tion objects most strongly +'0 +.hat portion of ~he dedication resolution, creating Stevensons Park as a public park, which would PROHIBIT ~he use of ~he area as a small boat basin.

Twen~y-five years ago the Library may have seemed adequa~e, but Clearwater has grown. Despite the fac~ that a number of one-time patrons have ceased to ca11 because of trafric and parking troubles, and because some of ~he bicycle riders are forbidden t,o cross ~he two railroad sys~emsi: we simply have no~ room for our stacks of books or for ~he people using them. have lately visited +he library on a Sa~.urday when hi.~h school students could find no chairs, and no t',ables on which i.O wri+.e. We appreciate the fact ~hat comparable crowding is presen~ among other civic agencies. But please do not underra~e rhe importance of ~he library or judge it according ~o its slender budge~. St.. Pe~ersburg, Orlando and other ci~ies have demonstrated the dollar value of improved library facili~ies in +he economic well-being of a municipality. If conditions make i+ essential that we share our crowded quarters, please supply an additional outside s+airway ~o the up-stairs por+ion of ~he Coachman home, for use by o~hers, allowing us exclusive use of the down-s+airs.

Withou~ going into de~ail in ~his letter, we believe that when given an oppor+'uni~y we can est.ablish a definite requirement for an entirely new library plant. ~o replace the present inadequate st.ruct.ure buil+. more ~han for~y years ago.

We wish fur+her ~o point out ~ha+' this property was purchased, and that. ~he current ci~y budget. cont.ains an item of $3,3$5.00 for its operation, none of which has been expended due +'0 delays in authorizing the actual move by +'he library s+.aff. we believe t.hat the planned conversion of +hree-four+.hs of the Library Annex for use by the Recreation and Civil Service Departments is no+ in +.he best interests of the city of' Clearwater. We know ~hat, many nor~hern people planning to set~le somewhere in Florida check ~he adequacy of a city's library facilities before making a deinite decision, and we feel Clearwater would be selling it.self short to le~ any+'hing in+.erfere with the library's expanding to the Annex, and thus relieving in some measure a~ least the serious over-crowding which now exists. :-.--~.._.. to, ! ~ , I'; r.. , . ~:it.:~~t~: -.;,... &~r~~ .~ 'l:!Il'~'t'~i ,...'.:~..(.i' i 1 i . 1 I I , I .

It �v�s his opinion that it would have been better to leave the prc�perty as a park than lease it for such a small amount, an3 also that by permitting the lessee to �ael.l'faod and cold drinks, it would make him a competitor of the Pier Pavilion which is paping t2ae City a aonsiderable amount �f money and is entitled to pr�tec�ion frorn competi- titre business. Gotmnissioner Strang pointed out that the lessee would be p�ying approximately $�50.00 a month in taxes in additinn to i,he rent.

February 27th, 195b The Honor•aU1e iKayar and G�ty �ommijsioners; Cit;y of Clearwater, Florida Gentlemen: As yQu are aYrare, our organization, +.he Clear���ter Power Squadron is a member group of +,he J. S. Government-Sanctioned U. S. Powe�• Squadrons. The primary object, of *he 'JSPS is educational +,hat is to establish a high s�andard o� ski11 in the handling of boats of all kinds. Every year we give elementarg and advanced instruction in support of th�s purp�se and over the years wE have so instructed many hundreds of Clearwater resident;s. Each ysar our classes become larger and in 1955 *he Elementary Pilot�,ing Class numbered 165 boa+,ing enrhusiasts. This parallels t;he trend thro ughout the whole count�ry. Every day more and more people are becoming boa*.ing conscious and are learning of � he joys and bene- fits of +,his wonderful recreation. Many of our members contrxbute to this valuable w�rk done by the Clearwater Power Squadron in various ways, as lecturers, ins+:ruc+,ors in �:he P�ioting classes, organizing and maintaining the Sea Scout Ships and assisting the local Coast Guard �luxiliary in it's valuable service +,n this community. There is no place in +he whole Uni*.ed St,ates ber,ter snited to boafiing than is Clearwa*er. There is no single interest of th.e residenY,s of Clearwai;er that. can approach in numbers and enthusiasm +he spor+.: of boating and fishing. Therefore, in our responsibil.i*.y +o +.he public of Cl�arwater, this organiza- tion objects most strongly to t,hat porta.on of +,he dediaation resolu+;ion, creating St,ever_sons Park as a public park, which would PN.OHIBIT t�,he use of *,he area as a small boat basin.

Pitman C onunan cier Uni+,ed States Power Squadrons Clearwat�r Squadron CITY COMMISSION MEETING Ntarch 5', 1956 TVlarch 5, 1956 To the Mayor an�i Board of Ccmmissioners of Clearwater, Florida: Dear Friends: Because I missed the news ' item in t,he paper concerning the ac�ion of the Commission to take t,he Coachman Home property from r,he liorary and turn ir, over �;o other agencies of Municipal govexnment, no m.eeting of t;he Library Board has been called, but I can assure you that each �nd everl member of t,hat Library Board does wish to say in the most friendlp way out most emphatic manner t.hat we desperately need that building and all of it; for library purposes, particularly f'or the pat;rons seeking juvenile books. Twen+,y-five years ago the Library may have seem�d adea,uate, but Clearwater has grown. Despite the f�ct, that a number of one-t,ime patrons have ceased to call because of 1-.raific and parking +;roubles, and because some of +.he bicycle riders are forbidden to cross the tv�o railroad sys+,erns, we simply havs no*, room for our stacks of books or for � he people using i-hem. I have lately visited +he library on a Saf,urday when hi.;h school students could find no chairs, and no tables on which *,o write. kTe apprecia-te the fact that, comparable crowding is present among other civic agencies. But please do no+. underra+.e +.he imporr,ance of +he library or judge it according to its slender budget. St. Pe+,ersburg, Orlando and other cities have demonstrated the �ollar value of improved library facili*.ies in the economic well-being of a municipality. If condition� make i+. essential .+.ha+, we share our crowded quarters, p'lease supply an additional outside stairway *,o +.he up-stairs port;ion of +,he Coachman home for use by o*hers, allowin� us exclusive use of +he down-stairs. ��1e hope +.o have a sufficient amount in +.he 1956-57 budget, to provide an attendant +here at all r,imes v�r,en +,he library is open. Yours most sincerelp, /s/ Lae L. Baker I4iember of Library Board Mr. Herbert b4. Brown, Mayor NIr. Francis Niddleton, City Nanager Mr. W. E. Strang, Jr. ;+Ir. J. H. Bahannon n4r. Samuel J. Roberts Mr. Cleveland Insco, Jr. Gentl�men: March 5, 1956 A, A. U. �V. You have each been approached individu�lly regardin� +he concern which the eigh+,y members of t.he American Association of University Women feel in regard to the Clearwater Public Library. This letter is +,o confirm those earlier discussions and +,o explain further wha�- it ?s we want for the Library. We wish it known +hat with the encouragement of the Chief Librarian and t,he Chairrcan of t,he Library Board, our organ ization has spor_sered a study during the pas+, several months on the Clearwater library - i+ts nist.ory, book collec+,ion, staff, budget; and physical facilities. A complete summary �f +.he study is +.n be available in abou�; �;hiri;y days. Becuase of recent events, however, we feel it necessary to speak ou+. in advance of +he publications of our summary, and we are taking t-his oppor';unifi of doin� so. SPhroughout our study, one thin� has seemed of paramount importance. That is +.he library's need for adc�itional space is acute and immediate. V�ithou+: going into de*.,ail in this letter, we believe tha*. when given an oppor+,unity we can establish a defini+.e requirement for an entirely new ].ibrary plan�; +,o replace +he present inadequate structure built more +,han forty years ago. Perhaps this can be con- siclered in the 1g56-1957 budget on wlzich you wi11 soon be working;. In }he meantime, we wish +o go on record as favoring retent,ion for Iibrary purposes only of that piece of property north of the library known as the Library Museum Annex (or C�achman House). We wisn fur+her to point out +hat this property was purchased, and +,hat +.he current city budget contains an i*em of �3,3$5•�0 for its o,peration, none of which has been expended due +;o delays in au+,horizino t.he actual move by the library staff. We believe that t,he planned conversion of +hree-fourths of the I,ibrary Annex for use by the Recreation and Civil Service Departments is not in +he best interests of t,he aity of Clearwater. We know +-ha+ many northern people planning to settie somewhere in Florida check +.he adequacp of a ci+,y+s library facilities before making a deinite decision, and we feel Clearwater would be selling itself short t;a let any+.hing in+.erfere with the library's expanding t.o the Ann�x, and thus relieving in some measure at least +-he serious over-crowding which now exists. l rr r 0 CITY COMMISSIOI�T MEE,'TT_NG NTarch 5, 1956 (Continued) While we are not unmindful of o+her needs of +he city, we are asking +.hat the work-order authorized last week *.o convert the Library .Annex to use by t,he Recreational and Civil Service Depar+ments be cance�.led, and *hat instead an order be issued for the moving of a section of the presetit libraxy into the building in quest;ion. The American Association of University Women believe it woulc� be possible to make different arrangements for the o+her city offices and depar+ments, but at this +,ime +,he library can expand only by movir�g part; of +-he facili+:ies to the Li:nrary bfuseum annex.
