ORDINANCE NONE OLD BUSINESS Mayor Armstrong stated we had a couple special trash conditions, where the owners carried their own trash to the Edgewater City Dump, these people are not paying anything. Mr. Kenneth May of Coronado Paint is with us tonight and his business is one in question. We recently had to hire a bulldozer to push all the paint cans around, which cost $90.00, the only area he worked in was the section Coronado Paint is using. We have to come up with a fair price that is not discriminating. Mayor Armstrong suggested this be tabled until the next workshop session so we can check into the entire problem, and at that time have those involved present. Councilman Bevel duly made a motion to table this until the next workshop session, being seconded by Councilwoman Crigger. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. Councilman Severance asked the City Attorney if we do have any police powers at the City Dump? City Attorney Weaver stated we do have arresting powers, he also stated he plans to research this problem and have an answer for the Council shortly. Mr. Kenneth May stated that this dump situation is not satisfactory at all, as it burns 100% of the time. It does present a pollution problem allover the area. Mayor Armst~ong suggested the Council consider sending another Resolution to Vo1usia County asking for County help in a land fill project for Oak Hill, New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater. The Resolution should state three things. 1. we do need help desperately 2. the present dump is a nuisance to all of Florida Shores 3. and the feasabi1ity of acquiring another land fill project is nearly out of the question. Councilwoman Crigger asked if it would be in order to ask the City Clerk to attach another thank you letter to the Utility Commission of New Smyrna Beach when sending the check for the water used. Mayor Armstrong stated that a letter similar to the first one would be in order. City Attorney Weaver reported he had contacted the Department of Treasury office of Revenue Sharing this morning and spoke to a Mr. Hugh Allen regarding the probability of spending the approximate $9,000.00 Federal Revenue Sharing Funds recently received prior to the presently established 4 priority category of the $32,000.00 Federal Revenue funds. Mr. Allen said go ahead and spend number 5 prior to the first four as long as they are expended within the confines of our own budgetory procedures. City Attorney Weaver stated his advise would be to get a figure from the Fire Department of approximate cost to finish their project, and then pass a Resolution setting the category and the amount needed. Councilman Clinton duly made a motion to authorize the fire department to proceed with the approximate $650.00 paving going from the present concrete to Hardin Place, being seconded by Councilman Severance. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED. . Councilman Clinton stated he was not satisfied with the study of the- Ocean Avenue traffic light by the Department of Transportation. Mayor Armstrong said he did not know what they based their findings on, but he thought the wisest approach to the problem, since we have such a short time left until school is out, would be to have the citizens write to the City requesting a traffic light. The combined efforts strongly influence the Department of Transportation. Mayor Armstrong stated he had talked with Mr. David Gunby today regarding the possibility of financing additional water facilities for the City of Edgewater. He said he was sorry to report that our financial status fell far below the anticipated income by $26,000.00. One of the problems is the Sewer Department, the Water Department showing $2,000.00 loss, but 3 . o (.J the Sewer is showing $24,000.00 below anticipated income. Mr. Gunby suggested we discuss with our Attorney the possibility of borrowing from the General Fund. We cannot put any water or sewer funds into General Government, but there is a strong possibility we can use General Government. Mayor Armstrong suggested the City Clerk contact Mr. Gilbert with Briley, Wild and Associates and have him gather the necessary:: figures, data, etc. on the cost and what we do need to increase the water supply, and have him come to the May 31, 1973 workshop session, so we know what amount of money we are talking about. Mr. Ray Shambora from Florida Shores asked the City Council to please do something about the water in this area, as it tastes terrible, and with hot weather coming on it worries him that someone may get sick. Mayor Armstrong stated that the water out in Florida Shores presently has not been out of the wells more than 8 hours, I don1t understand why it should jaste bad. Mr. William Glaser asked the Council what had caused the recent water problem? Mayor Armstrong said we didn't know, the well had been pulled, 'everything checked and installed again, it is now working fine, even though they d~d not find anything wrong when they pulled the well.
