at 701 North Garden Avenue in enforcement of the Southern Standard Buildinr. Code.
The Manager.reported receipt of a letter from Mr. Gardner late Friday afternoon stating
that he was proceeding with repairs on this building. The Building Inspector reported
that he had recently visited this property, that he had heard reports of work done to the
interior but that since the building was closed with access obstructed by debris he
had been unable to verify that interior repairs had been started.
Because of his personal association with the owner of the property, Commissioner
Hall stated that he would not participate in Commission voting but would provide
current information On the basis of first-hand knowledge. The buildin~ was now closed
with windows and doors nailed shut as reported by the InspectoI', but on the basis

and noted that interior partitions and ceiling had been removed. In his opinion, the
owner had complied with the Commission requirement to begin work within two weeks from

treatment in that the condition of this buildin~ had continued as a source of
criticism for an extended period of time. He urr,ed the Commission to accept the ,City
Manap,er'a reoommendation. Discussion followed on the question of compliance with the
requirement to .begin repairs. The Mayor expressed the opinion that the ownur. may have
complied with the Commission instructions by beginning work within the required period.
Both the Mayor and Commissioner Williams questioned the lep,ality of rescindtng the
permit in the face of possible compliance. The City Attorney noted that the building
permit required the work to be completed without undue delay.
Following futher discussion, Commissioner Carwise moved to approve the City
Manager's recommendation. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Williams for purposes
ofdisQuss16n. The City Manager stated his opinion that the owner had not complied with
the spirit of the requirement for proceeding without undue delay. Afte~ further
discussion concerning the history of the violation, Commissione~ Williams moved to
continue Commission conside~ation until the next Commission meeting in order to
provide an opportunity for personal inspection of the buildinp, with the City Manar,er..
Discussion followed. Motion to continuo this item died for want of a second;
On the Mayor's calling for a vote on the basic motion to approve the City Manager's
recommendation, Commi6Bione~s Carwise and Williams voted in favor; Mayor Hougen
was opposed and Commissioner Hall abstained from voting. Motion carried.

(6), UProtest", was voted and carried unanimOUSly. .

ITEM fl9 - Report - Naster Drainar.;e Plan.

Johnson/Southeastern Engineers, "ClearHater Master Drainage Study", and recommended that
the Commission receive at this time a summary p~esentation.
Mr. George R. Biron and Mr. Edward Boyd, ~epresentatives of 11cFarland-Johnson, then
presented chart illustrations of the data developed, notinr, that the data was prepared,
in part, from rainfall statistics and various hydrological studies of the Clearwater area.
Regions of drainage difficulty, major drainage facilities and locations for culvert and
channel improvements were indicated. Retention of the open-ditch system to the maximum
extent possible was recommended. The City Engineer discussed various aspects of ponding
and ditch maintenance in response to Commissioner Williams~ comments on flood control,
safety and mintenance. He noted that the City now had the basic criteria needed and
that his department would make recommendations to the Commission on specific drainage
matters. Commissioner Williams emphasized his interest in determining the cost of
substantially enclosing the system and stated that the critical problem facing this
area was the retention of subsurface water. Mr. Boyd noted that the':City faces two
problem areas: surface-water runoff and subsurface water levels. He stated that the
report does not address itself to the latter problem which is currently beinp, studied
by another engineering firm. The report shows, however, that the recharge area of
existing lakes and ponds has increased with development, that 120 to 140 such bodies
of water now exist and that developers are creatinR more of these holding areas in a
growing capacity for surface storage.
Commissioner Williams moved to accept the drainage plan presentation for staff

ITEM H10 - Report - Policy on City Installation of Pipe in Existing DrainaRe Ditches.
The City manager presented staff recommendation for termination of the policy for
free installation by the City of pipe in drainage ditches (when pipe is purchased by
property owners) and commented on the generally beneficial effect of retaining open
ditches as a means of recharging the shallow aquifer through ponding. Commissioner
Williams questioned the effect of open ditches on the existing water level. The City
Enr,ineer stated that the instal1tion of pipe had raised the water level in some
instances but that in general the installtion of pipe provided only an aesthetic advantage.
He stated that a change in policy was required to permit the City to avoid the expense of
installing pipe.where such installation was not in the interest of the City. He fu~ther
stated that report would be made to the City Hanar,er Hhere request for free pipe
installation was refused, and that the City would continue to bear the expense of
correction in such major problem areas as are of .immediate general concern.

Lot #3 extended, located at the intersection of Edgewater Drive and Union Street)
at $10,000; antI the Bradham-BroHn property (NEB 22, Section 3-29-15) (land west
of Edgewater Drive bounded by westerly extensions of north and south boundary
lines of Sunnydale Sub., located at EdgeHater Drive and Sunnydale Drive, extended)
at a,price of $30,095. Acquisition of the Poole property Hou1d permit the
City to apply for a State grant in beautifyine Edgewater Drive. The City
Hanager explained that the negotiated price included all submerged lands
pertaining to this property. Although not essential to the initiation of the
Edgewater Drive project, acquisition of the Bradham-BroHn property would '
greatly enhance the results of this effort.
Noting that some property~oHners in this area had donated theit' properties
alone the'western side of Edgewa:ter Drive, Commissioner Hall expressed his.
concern that the owners of the two properties now.recommended for acquisitd.on
had taken advantage of the City in the priccs negotiated. Discussion followed
on time and cost factors in condemnation proceedings. Inl:the Attorney"s
opinion the City could expect little benefit from this alternative.
Commissioner Williams moved that the City Manager's recommendation for
purchase of the above properties be approved in the amounts of $10,000 and
$30,895 respectively and that the appropriate officials of the City be
authorized to execute the necessary contracts for purchase. Motion was
seconded by Commissioner CarHise and carried unanimously.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
Janaury 111, 19711
ITEt1 #21 - Ordinance 1111194 - Adopting Southern 'Standard l1echanical Code,
1973 Edition, Subject to Certain Amendments Thereto. - Second Reading.
, The City Attorney presented Ordinance flltl91J for second readinr, explaining
that Commissioner Hall at the last meetinn (Janauray 7th) had expressed an interest
in requiring examination within a 2-yeor period of those contractors currently in
business. He explained that the State law, which Gomewhat parallels the proposed
ordinance, requires all persons contractinp, in the state to reF,ister with the appropriate
board for certification, with no examination required for registration. Subsequently,
revocation of license may result from a failure to meet the necessary performance standards.
Expressing the opinion that the City had the authority to require examination of those
ourrently engaged as contractors, the City Attorney urged, however, that the "grandfather"
provi.ion in the proposed o~dinance be retained.
Commissioner Hall expressed the opinion that protection of the public against
incompetency should not depend upon the processing of 'complaints for unsafe work and
emphasized his conviction that all contractors should be required to take the examination
for license within a two-year period. Unless examination was required of all, the City
would be discriminating a8ainst those seeking to enter the business. Commissioner Hall
moved to remove from the proposed Ordinance that section pertainin~ to the certification
of individuals without examination. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Williams.
On the vote being take, Commissioner Hall voted in favor; Commissioners Williams and
Mayor Hougen were opposed. Motion failed to carry.
