COrnnUssioner Bohannon moved that the City Manager be authorized to have the shuffleboard tournament sign hung at Cleveland and Osceola. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Roberts and carried unanimously. The Manager read a letter from Mr. Roy Cross, State Manager of Ingram Oil Company, requesting permission to suspend a 24" banner across Gulf to Bay Boulevard in the 1800 block across from the Ingram Service Station on its opening days, December 14th and 15th. The Mayor recollunended that the Manager notify Mr. Cross that the City does not allow private concerns or individuals to put up such signs across the street as it was in violation of a City ordinance. Commissioner Strang moved that the request be denied. Motion was seconded by Conunissioner Roberts and carried unanimously. The Engineer reported that Mr. Bates and Mr. Dan Turnbull, Engineers from the State Road Department, had met with Captain Walter Carey, Commissioner Insco and himself to discuss complaints that people could not turn direct from Route 60 onto Alternate Route 19 because left turns were prohibited at Cleveland and Fort Harrison. It was recol1U11ended that the State Road Department representatives make a survey and come back with recommendations as to where the signs should be placed and what streets should be designated to mal{e the turns on and still not make left turns on Cleveland and Fort Harrison. He said it was indicated it would be necessary to accept those streets as State highways without lilliintenance. ,..r. 'i. Commissioner Insco commented that he had made an aerial traffic survey with Captain Walter Carey which he would make a report on later but he was particularly impressed with the results bejng shown from the seawall and groin project on Clearwater Beach. He explained that at a height of 750 feet it is possible to see the motion or the sand in that area and the build up of the sand that is taking place. lIe commended Mayor Brown for the leadership he gave the Conunission on that project. Mayor Brown replied that the City Engineer deserved the credit for solving the erosion problems on Clearwater Beach. Co~ssioner Roberts recommended that periodic aerial photographs be made on this new project and also on other parts of the beach so that the photographs could be used to sell the same type of project to other property owners on the Gulf front. The Mayor reported that the previous City Manager had been instructed to secure a large dredge to clean out the channel whene"/er one was working in this area, and such work was still badly needed. The r~nager stated that the owner of a dredge based at Tarpon Springs was unwilling to bring his dredge here and that no other large dredge had been in the area but that as soon as one did come into the vicinity, action would be taken. Commissioner Bohannon commented that Cleveland Street and Fort Harrison needed better cleaning than could be given by the street sweeper. The Mayor suggested that the Manager be authorized to hire a man or two to sweep some of the streets by hand. By consent, the Manager was instructed to take care of this problem and expedite it and also the Assistant to the City Manager was requested to malce a survey in order to plan a regularly scheduled trash collection. The Comrrdssion adjourned as the City Commission and acting as Trustees of the Pension Fund admitted Kenneth Fox, Patrolman, Police Department, to membership in the Pension Plan on a motion by Commissioner Bohannon which was seconded by Commissioner Insco and carried unanimously. A letter was read from the Advisory Committee of the Employees Pension Fund recommending that Ester Shaw, Laborer, Public Service Department, be denied membership in the Pension Fund as he was declared by a local physician to be only an "average risk". Commissioner Insco moved the application be denied. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Bohannon and carried unanimOUSly. There being no further business to come be~ore the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 3:05 P.M.
