COMMUNICATIONS:
The City Clerk read a memo from the Zoning Board in regard to a setback request
of Mr. and Mrs. H.R. Criswell, 108 East Knapp Avenue.
Councilman Dietz stated that he understands that there is a question as to
whether this recommendation should be from the Zoning Board or the Board of
Adjustments.
Mr. Criswell spoke to the Council about his request.
Mayor Armstrong explained to Mr. Criswell that this recommendation is coming
from the wrong board. We have a board which handles variances and this is in
compliance with the State law. He explained that an application must be made
out through the City Clerk to obtain a variance from the proper board, and
then it comes to the Council for final approval. The Zoning Board acted upon
something that they should have referred to the City Clerk for the Board of
Adjustments.
o
Q
Mr. Criswell was instructed to see the City Clerk and she will help him go
through the proper channels with this.
The City Clerk read a letter from Senator Lawton Chiles asking for our views
on doing a better job of making Federal assistance programs available to small
Cities and Counties in need. She stated that she will answer this letter when
the Council gives her some of their views.
The City Clerk read a letter from E.Irene Beckham, City Manager of the City of
New Smyrna Beach in regard to two studies which will be made by the Department
of Transportation in regard to various grants for a bus service. Edgewater will
be included in one of these studies.
Mayor Armstrong stated that an acknowledgment should be returned to Mrs. Beckham.
The City Clerk read another letter from Mrs. Beckham in regard to the Palmetto
Street Bridge, asking that the Edgewater City Council determine whether it still
upholds its intent as in Resolution No. 524, and inform them so that the City of
New Smyrna may take appropriate action also.
Mayor Armstrong stated that he spoke to Mr. Buck several months ago about this
situation, and he told Mr. Buck to get some figures together on what they pro-
pose to do and how it is to be funded, and he would bring this up to our Council.
He went on to explained that since this time a State law has been passed requiring
an inspection of all bridges in the municipalities. He said that Mr. Buck thought
that we should have Florida Concrete and Pipe Company make us some culverts to put
in it and cover it over.
Councilman Sikes stated that he thinks back in 1974 we had our engineers check
this bridge out, and they told us that the base of the bridge was basically
sound that all it needed was surfacing.
Councilman Dietz stated that we should send them a letter stating that we are
still interested and that the Resolution still stands.
Councilman Dietz made a motion that we instruct the City Clerk to write a letter
to the active City Manager reconfirming our position on the bridge, being seconded
by Councilman Riggs. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 4-0.
The City Clerk read a letter from Don Sikorski, Assistant Director of Planning
and Development for the County of Volusia with reference to 701 Planning
Assistance Grant Preapplication, which is required by the Florida Department
of Community Affiars in order to qualify for planning assistance funds. The
deadline on this is January 31, 1977.
The City Clerk answered questions from the Council about her conversation with
Mr. Sikorski about this.
Mayor Armstrong stated that a Resolution on this will come later on during this
meeting.
The City Clerk read a letter from Lawrence J. Kelly, Chairman, Volusia Council
of Governments asking that a questionaire be filled out in order that the
Volusia Council of Governments' Water Quality Management Planning Program can
assess the best institutional methods for implementing the technical portions
of the 208 Plan.
Tape lB
The City Clerk stated that Mr. Yackel picked up this information and he will
study this over and return it to her.
The City Clerk read the General Fund Budget Report for the month of December.
The City Clerk read a letter from Mr. Boning, 3129 Woodland Drive, stating
that the last the road crew worked on Woodland Drive they dug out the coquina
in his driveway and now it is difficult for him to drive unto his property.

Councilman Dietz made a motion to turn this over to Councilman Riggs, being
seconded by Councilman Sikes. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 3-1.
Mayor Armstrong voting NO.
AUDIENCE MISCELLANEOUS:
Mrs. Murphy stated to the Council that she is dedicated to preserving our
waterfront which she considers a capital asset comparable to our climate.
She stated that presently there is a house being built on Riverside Drive
east of the road, and there are discrepancies between two surveys of this
property. She questioned why no variance was sought from the Board of
Adjustments before this building started? She stated that if a public hearing
had been held the people living in that area could have gotten some answers
about this. She spoke of some talk that this man has reparian rights to this
property. She explained that if this sort of thinking prevails there will not
be a lot on the east of Riverside Drive that you can not build on.
Councilman Dietz suggested that this is a question for our Building Inspectors
and if he gives us assurance that this is all proper then it is up so someone
to bring cause.
Mayor Armstrong assured Mrs. Murphy that he will have some answers to this by
our next meeting.
Councilman Sikes questioned whether we are measuring from the bulk head line
or the actual land, if it is from the bulk head line it should cover it.
There was discussion about the taxes paid on this property and the tax roles
could be used to figure out the property size exactly.
Mr. Christy was given the floor and he stated that he is still being asked
what the City has decided to do about the radioactive fallout Resolution that
was proposed by him.
The City Clerk read the Resolution:
RES. NO. 697
A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR PROTECTION FROM RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT IN NEW CITY
BUILDINGS AND IN ADDITIONS TO EXISTING CITY BUILDINGS.
Councilman Dietz made a motion that we adopt this Resolution, being seconded
by Councilman Riggs. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 4-1. Mayor
Armstrong voting NO. (Councilwoman Webber came into the building while the
Resolution was being read.)
RES. No. 695
A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS
TO INCLUDE EDGEWATER IN ITS APPLICATION TO THE U".S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING
AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR LOCAL PLANNING ASSISTANCE FUNDS FOR THE FISCAL
YEAR BEGINNING JULY 1, 1977, REPEALING ALL RESOLUTIONS IN CONFLICT HEREWITH
AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE THEREFOR.
Attorney Gillespie read this Resolution in full.
Councilman Dietz made a motion to adopt this Resolution, being seconded by
Councilman Sikes. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0.

Attorney Gillespie apologized for not having a written opinion in reference to
the bid from Tomoka Refuse for the garbage franchise. He stated that he will
give an oral opinion and back it up later with a written one. He stated that
it is his opinion that the bid has not been repealed and it is still standing
and valid. He stated that he feels that the City would be safe if they choose
Tape 2A to do so to adopt the Resolution authorizing the entry into a contract with
this individual corporation based upon the bid.
Mayor Armstrong stated that he is also concerned about the fact that we had
no estimate of a contract as required under Section 45, page 12 of the Charter
and no certification of funds, under Section 46, page 13 of the Charter. He
read from other Sections of the Charter which are related to awarding a con-
tract.
Attorney Gillespie stated that all of these things are preliminary to going
out on bids and should have been taken into account before you even considered
advertising for bids, and if the City did not lay the ground work properly,
then the advertising for the bids or the expenditure of this substantial amount
of money should have not been undertaken.
Councilman Dietz explained that we have budgeted the amount of $74,995. for our
Garbage and Trash Department, and the bid for this was only $70,000 so we have
exceeded the bid price, and we have certification of this because it was budgeted.
Mayor Armstrong stated that we do have a total of $75,000 or a prorated $6,250.
per month. $6,250 per month is far short of the monthly charge that we will have
on the contract presently.
Councilman Dietz stated that the anticipated revenue is estimated at $84,000.
Mayor Armstrong stated that the income was anticipated but not appropriated.
Councilman Dietz stated to Attorney Gillespie that this was all given consideration
prior to going out for bids, it was all anticipated in the budget and we could sit
here and argue this point for now on. We have no valid argument against this.
Mayor Armstrong read a section from the contract in regard to the workmen's
compensation, stating that every time they get an increase the contract will
go up, and he understands that they are facing a 32% increase right now.
Councilman Dietz stated that we will have the same thing within the City.
He added that one thing that was not pointed out is that if we don't enter into
this contract we are going to raise the rates of the citizens of Edgewater to
$5.00 a month. He asked if we want to get it from the people of if we want to
give something to the people?
Mayor Armstrong stated that he wants to recongize that 480 some people who asked
that we exhaust our every effort to keep it.
Councilman Dietz stated that we have worked on this for six months.
Mr. Opal was given the floor, he reported on a meeting he attended about the
landfill of the Vol usia County Environmental Control Committee. He stated that
the Tomoka Landfill will be open for only two more years. Where will this take
us the next three years if we enter into a five year contract? He stated that
he is opposed to this contract.
Councilman Dietz asked that the attorney be instructed to read the Resolution.
RES. NO. 692
A RESOLUTION AWARDING THE CONTRACT FOR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL FOR
THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA, TO TOMOKA REFUSE, INC., ORMOND BEACH, FLORIDA,
REJECTING ALL OTHER BIDS, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE ALL
NECESSARY CONTRACTUAL DOCUMENTS TO AWARD THE CONTRACT, REPEALING ALL RESOLUTIONS
IN CONFLICT HEREWITH AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE THEREFOR.

Attorney Gillespie read the Resolution in full.
Councilman Dietz made a motion to adopt this Resolution, being seconded by
Councilman Sikes.
Mr. Gross asked about the six employees that the City has who are working in
the Garbage Department, whether we will be able to keep them or will we have
to pay unemployment for them?
Councilman Sikes stated that it is our intention to try to work these men
in other areas of the City.
Councilman Dietz called for the question.
Mrs. Murphy was given the floor. She asked a question about the landfill.
Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 3-2. Councilman Riggs and Mayor
Armstrong voting NO.
Councilman Dietz made a motion that while the attorney is here and the engineers
are here that if there are any questions on the contract that they be answered
and that we go ahead with the signing of the contract,
Councilman Sikes asked the attorney to read Section 13 of the contract.
There is a blank in this Section that must be filled in, about the amount
of monthly payments the City is to make to Tomoka Refuse.
Mr. Fernandez and the man from Tomoka Refuse spoke to the Council about this
contract.
Councilman Dietz suggested that Mr. Fernandez and the representative from
Tomoka Refuse meet with the City Clerk in the morning and get this straightened
out.
Councilman Sikes stated that he wants some clarification as to how this will
effect our other franchise operator.
Mr. Fernandez stated that he is cut off at his current clients. He is protected
with this listing and will not be effected in any way.
The City Clerk stated that there is a blank in the Resolution as to the effective
date.
Councilman Dietz stated that she is to get all of these blanks filled out tomorrow
and make next Monday night official signing of the contract.
Councilman Sikes stated that we do not want to enfringe on any of Triange Service's
rights as far as his franchise is concerned, and we have to be sure that we are
not signing away any of their rights.
It was agreed that these people will meet with the City Clerk at 10:00 on
Tuesday morning to discuss the contract.
There was no second to Councilman Dietz's motion to sign the contract. It was
agreed that things have to be put in order and the contract has to be completed
so that it can be signed next Monday night.
At this time the City Clerk read a certification of bids received in regards to
a generator to be used for the Wastewater Treatment Plant. She explained that
a gentleman handed her another bid at 4:32 as she was leaving City Hall.
Attorney Gillespie stated that the advertisement that was published in the
newspaper in compliance with the law is what you have to go by, which read
that 4:00 was the deadline for bids to be received.
-5-

Councilman Sikes made a motion that we return that bid unopened to Cummings
along with the copy of the advertisement, being seconded by Councilman Dietz.
Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0.
The City Clerk opened the bids she received. Modern Power, Inc.-bid was
Tape 2B $13,200.00, Marine Industrial Equipment Corp. - bid was $13,325.00
Mr. Fernandez looked over the bids with the Council.
Councilman Dietz made a motion that the City Council accept the bid from
Modern Power, Inc. in the amount of $13,200.00 and reject all other bids,
being seconded by Councilman Riggs.
Mayor Armstrong asked where the $13,200.00 is going to come from?
Councilman Dietz stated that he is going to take this out of Federal Revenue,
which was set aside for this purpose by the Council in 1974 for expansion of
the Water and Sewer Treatment Plant.
Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 4-1. Mayor Armstrong voting NO.
RES. NO. 696
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA ACCEPTING
THE BID OF MODERN POWER, INC. FOR THE AMOUNT OF $13,200.00 FOR THE PURCHASE
OF A 100 KW GENERATOR TO BE USED BY THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OF THE
CITY OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA, REJECTING ALL OTHER BIDS AND DESIGNATING THE
FUND FROM WHICH THE MONIES ARE TO BE PAID FOR THE GENERATOR AND AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR AND THE CITY CLERK TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH MODERN POWER, INC.
FOR THE PURCHASE OF SAID GENERATOR, REPEALING ALL RESOLUTIONS IN CONFLICT
HEREWITH AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Attorney Gillespie read the Resolution in full.
Councilman Dietz made a motion to adopt this Resolution, being seconded by
Councilman Sikes. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 4-1. Mayor
Armstrong voting NO.
Councilman Sikes asked Mayor Armstrong about putting deadlines as far as
delivery. He added that we ordered police cars back in September and we
don't have them yet.
Mayor Armstrong stated that we also ordered some trucks and he will go along
with putting deadlines on reasonable time to make delivery and if they don't
make it by then, they have to forfeit their bonds with the bid.
ORDINANCES:
None
OLD BUSINESS:
The City Clerk explained the conversation she had with the man from Chesterfield
about the merchandise which was delivered but no one actually ordered. She said
that he will settle for the difference for what we paid on the freight, $48.83.
The Council talked to Mr. Martine. He explained that he is going to use this
to patch up the tennis courts.
Councilman Dietz made a motion that we instruct the City Clerk to pay the
$48.83 to cover the bill, being seconded by Councilman Riggs. Upon roll call
vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0.
The City Clerk spoke to the Council about the anti-recession money that we
have been talking about for weeks. She stated that she thought since no one
can decide how they want the money spent that it would be a great idea to spend
-6-
Q
o
this money updating the Code. She said that she spoke with the auditor about
this and he told her that he could see no reason why we couldn't spend the
money this way. He is going to check into this and get back to us. She
added that she feels that everyone in the City of Edgewater will benefit from
this.
The City Clerk was instructed to get a letter from the auditor in regard to
this.
Attorney Gillespie spoke to the Council about the Library bid bond. He stated
that he feels that the bid bond that has been submitted by Harris complies with
the law. He stated that he thinks it is a better bid bond than the surety bond
route.
Mayor Armstrong explained that since Mr. Gillespie has given us a good opinion
of this, we should have a Resolution prepared for our next meeting.
Mayor Armstrong stated that the next item is the compulsory connection charge
in the Water Department.
Councilman Dietz spoke on this. -He said that he thinks that we already have an
Ordinance that requires the hook up, but he is going to find it.
Mayor Armstrong stated that we do have a compulaory connection Ordinance, however
it has been amended over the years.
Councilman Dietz stated that last week we took a vote on whether we were going to
hire a girl for the Water Department, and the Council couldn't come to a decision
so the next day he instructed Mrs. Blackwell to go ahead and hire the girl because
we had to have someone in that department. He said that if there is any contro-
versy about it we should talk it over, but he and the City Clerk decided that this
girl was the best qualified and she was hired.
Councilman Sikes asked if he would like to have a vote to clear this up?
Councilman Dietz stated that he would make it a motion to officially hire this
girl, being seconded by Councilman Sikes.
Councilwoman Webber stated that as she argued last week, the girl should be told
that she is only working temporarily. She said that Mrs. Blackwell informed her
that the last girl on will be the first girl to be let go and should we no longer
need her that's when she will go.
Councilman Dietz stated that we have a Merit Ordinance to this effect.
There were some comments from the audience about husband and wives both working
for the City, whether this is a good trend. It was again explained that these
people work in differents departments with different hours and there is no con-
fl i ct.
Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0.
Mayor Armstrong stated that he knows we need a girl in that department, however
we had a whole stack of applications and there was actually only one considered
as far as being presented and that is the reason that he voted no before.
Councilman Dietz stated that all of the applications were checked over by him,
the City Clerk and Mrs. Kinsey.
There were more comments from the audience about the Council voting on this last
week, and then Councilman Dietz hiring the girl anyway. It was explained that
this did not have to be brought to the Council in the first place.

NEW BUSINESS:
Councilman Dietz stated that he would like to present to the Council plans for
an expansion program in the Florida Shores area. ,This takes up an area from
Indian River Boulevard to 22nd Street and from Juniper Drive to Sabel Palm,
which will put water lines on all of these streets, connect all the dead ends
and put fire hydrants within 690 feet of every home in that area. This plan
was set forth by Briley Wild two years ago, and this is step one of it.
The intention is to give better quality of water to the people and give them
better fire protection. The estimate on the work, material and equipment comes
to $7,329. The equipment rentals will be $1,120 to general government based on
a rate of $15.00 an hour. He explained how this work is going to be done.
He stated that he would like this money taken out of capital improvements.
he stated that they did not charge any labor because we have the manpower,
and he also wants to use CETA men in conjunction with the regular men. He
added that we should be able to get this work done in about ten days.
There was discussion about this among the Council members, and Mr. Fernandez.
Councilman Dietz stated that in order to get a question on this, he made a
motion that the City Council approve the expansion of the Water System, as
outlined in the plan for the Florida Shores area, being seconded by Council-
woman Webber.
Councilman Sikes asked Mr. Fernandez if our City crews can do this?
Mr. Fernandez stated that they can.
Mayor Armstrong asked if he can certify to the City that this is a feasible
operation?
Mr. Fernandez stated that it is feasible and desirable.
Councilman Riggs stated that he was under the impression that the CETA men
can not be used in one department or the other?
Mayor Armstrong stated that the CETA men can be used in any department, however
under the enabling Ordinance which was ratified by the people prohibits the
intermingling of funds between the general government or any funds that may
be created hereafter, meaning Federal Revenue money, State Revenue money, or
any money. He added that Ordinance 400 can not be amended unless 3/4 of the
bond holders concur with the amendment.
Councilman Dietz stated that if this is true than the $700,000.00 loan from
F.H.A. is not valid.
Mayor Armstrong read further from the Ordinance.
Councilman Dietz told Attorney Gillespie that he spoke with the man who is ahead
of the CETA program and asked him about the CETA employees being used in our
Water and Sewer Department, which is a separate organization from our general
fund, and he was told that the law states that the CETA employees are hired by
the City of Edgewater, not by a certain department, and can be used in any
manner we so choose as long as they are hired as laborers. He added that
Ordinance 400 speaks to the bonds and we are not interfering with the bonds.
Councilman Sikes read from a letter which was mailed to the CETA administration.
Mr. Gross stated that this is discrimination, we should do the whole City.
Councilman Dietz stated that this is the plan~ eventually.
-~
o
Q
Councilman Dietz called for a vote.
Mr. Gross still questioned him, and Councilman Dietz explained to him that
these people do not have water or sewer, they are on septic tanks and there
has been a law passed that has limitations onthe number of septic tanks to
an area. By putting these lines in we will enhance the probabilities of
building more houses in that area, and if we don1t put these lines in it is
going to restrict our expansion. This is the plan that was developed two
years ago.
Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 4-1. Mayor Armstrong voting NO.
Councilman Dietz stated that since there have been so many arguments and
questions about Ordinance 400, he made a motion that our City Attorney be
instructed to take Ordinance 400 and read it and give us a complete opinion
as to what this Ordinance restricts us to, what liberties we have and what
stops we have, being seconded by Councilman Sikes. Upon roll call vote
said motion CARRIED,5-0.
Councilman Riggs stated that a man looked at the backhoe today, and fluid
is leaking into the cylinders.
Mr. Martine spoke to the Council about the problems they have been having
with the backhoe. He explained that he spoke to the man and was told that
an estimate would be ready for tonight.
Councilman Riggs stated that he has the estimate in the amount of $1 ,004~97
to put it back into condition. He added that the grader is in bad need of
tires, and this is going to run a little high, $1,493.56.
Councilman Dietz made a motion that we authorize Councilman Riggs to enter
into the proper agreements to buy the tires and repair the backhoe to put
it in good shape, being seconded by Councilman Sikes.
Mayor Armstrong stated that this is a terrific price for tires, he said that
this is about 40% cheaper than a lot of other places.
Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0.
Councilman Riggs stated that he has located and a man is interested in
demonstrating a machine for the Council that will dig shell and clean the
ditches. He will be out at the garage tomorrow morning at 9:00. It is
called a Grade-all.
Mayor Armstrong stated that we have a bill on workmen's compensation in the
amount of $266.00, and he assumes that this is the audited bill.
The City Clerk read the bill to the Council.
Councilman Dietz made a motion that we pay the bill, being seconded by Council-
man Sikes. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0.
MISCELLANEOUS:
Mayor Armstrong read a memorandum from Mr. Martine, supervisor of the Street
Department in regard to Mr. Jack E. Walker. He read the grading on Mr. Walker1s
evaluation sheet.
Mr. Martine was asked to speak to the Council about this. He stated that for
a long time Mr. Walker always misses Monday's calling in sick. He explained
that some of the other men are getting touchy about this because Monday is a
heavy work day for them. He stated that this is going to have to stop if he
is going to work under him, and if he is sick on Monday morning than he wants
a doctor's slip.
-9 -
o
u
Mayor Armstrong spoke to Mr. Walker, who was present at the meeting, stating
that in one year1s time, he has missed seven Mondays out of fifteen days
absence. He asked if there is any explanation as to why every time he was
sick on Monday?
Mr. Walker stated that the last time he was sick he did bring a doctorls
slip in. He stated that he was never called into the office and told any-
thing about being off on Mondays. He stated that he talked with Mr. Martine
quite a while back about whether he preferred to work the garbage or the
streets, and he told Mr. Martine that he would be a fool to want to work
the garbage when it was on it's way out anyway. .
Mr. Martine agreed that he never talked with Mr. Walker about the Mondays
but recently several of the men have really gotten angry about this and
he can not have it.
There was some conversation about this.
Councilman Dietz made a motion that we accept the recommendation of the
superintendent of that department, and the man has the right to appeal to
the Merit Board if he feels there is an injustice, being seconded by
Councilwoman Webber. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED, 5-0.
Councilwoman Webber stated that she has brought this up before, but there
is a terrific lack of communication between the Council decisions and the
boards of the City. They have written to the Council asking for some direction
as to the Council IS feelings on the different things, and they do not get it.
She stated that we should at least pay them the curtiousy of giving them an
answer when they ask for directions.
Councilman Dietz stated that when this was brought up before and instructions
were given to the City Clerk to see that the correspondence were made.
The City Clerk stated that she has instructed to pick these things up out of
the minutes and write memos on them, and she spent the better portion of an
hour explaining to one member of the Zoning Board what the Council desired
on the application from Mr. Hammond and some other things that came up,
because there wasn't time to compose a letter.
Councilman Sikes stated that if we act on something on Monday night and they
have a meeting the next night, they might not get the information, but other
than that they are getting the information aren't they?
Councilwoman Webber stated no.
The City Clerk explained that the girls get these messages from the minutes.
Councilman Dietz stated that sometimes our minutes are two weeks late, and
notes should be made separately on anything that should be referred to the
boards, so that it can be done sooner.
Mayor Armstrong stated that what bothers him is that people are being sent
to the wrong board for decisions and the Council doesn't even know what has
happened until after a decision has been made.
Councilwoman Webber stated that one of the things that they want some direction
on is about the mini shops that are being built. She also stated that too many
people are giving out permits, and she spoke with Mr. Murphy about this and he
will be more than happy to issue the permits and review them if the Council so
wishes.
Councilman Sikes stated that he thought we discussed that the Charter says
that the City Clerk is to issue the permits.
Councilwoman Webber stated that she asked Mrs. Blackwell to look this up.
-10-
, .-.
Q
u
The City Clerk stated that she did not have time to look it up.
Councilman Dietz stated that agrees that this would work, however Mr. Murphy
is not an employee of the City, he is under contract.
The City Clerk explained the system for signing permits, explaining that they
all go to the Mayor, and if he feels that there is any question, he brings it
to the Council.
