OFFICERS REPORTS Certification of Posting General Fund Budget report for February, 1973 Clerk's Cash Statement for February, 1973 Police Department report for February, 1973 COMMUNICATIONS The City Clerk read a letter and proposal from Mr. C.E. Whaley, Whaley Electric Co. regarding the necessary repair work on the Park Avenue traffic light. Mayor Armstrong stated this workis required by a corrective action notice from the Department of Transportation dated February 15, 1973. Councilman Severance asked if a bid was required on this, as the proposal for material and labor is $876,00. Attorney Weaver stated he would research this as it is a hazard which constitutes an emergency. Councilman Severance duly made a motion accepting the proposal for $876.00 from Whaley Electric Co., subject to Attorney We a ve r I sad v ice as to 'w h et her com pet i t i ve bid s w 0 u 1 d be. r e qui r: ed, be i n q seconded by Councilwoman Crigger.

The City Clerk read a letter from the Edgewater Public Library requesting three items: (1) That the special Library Fund of $965.42 be turned over to the Library Board. (2) Requesting a new record cabinet. (3) Requesting $500.00 of the Federal Revenue Sharing money be earmarked for Recreation for the Library. Attorney Weaver stated it would seem from reading the contract with the Vo1usia County Council on the Library, that the County is responsible for purchasing equipment while under the contract. Mayor Armstrong stated there is no question about the $965.42 belonging to the Library, it certainly does, the problem is that if we purchase items for the Library not on the original inventory, if and when the County turns the Library back to the City this equipment will belong to the County. Former Mayor Cairnie stated 2 . .- " ."" ./ (.) ,,-'- that the county won1t own any equipment purchased by the city, under an agreement the city made to make the library a member of the county library system. Mayor Armstrong recommended that the Library Board amend their by-laws to be able to operate as the City of Edgewater not the County and then it would be permissab1e for the City to help finance this type of program. He also advised the Library Board that the $10.000.00 now earmarked recreation is not broken down to any specific area, it is to be used for any recreation within the City of Edgewater. Councilwoman Crigger duly made a motion to give the Library Board the $965.42 and instructed the City Attorney to get a supplementary agreement to the October 1, 1972 contract with the Vo1usia County Council to add any new items of equipment to the original inventory, being seconded by Councilman Clinton. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED.

Councilman Severance duly made a motion to accept the proposal of March 15, 1973 from Briley Wild & Assoc. for an Engineering report on the Water AND Sewer Systems, at a cost not to exceed $6,000.00, being seconded by Councilwoman Crigger.

Mayor Armstrong stated Attorney Weaver has already researched this property location and the State Statute reads that property to be annexed must be contiguous to present City Limits and this property does not adjoin the city on any side.
