II U v u I U Mr. Frank Perry, Date Palm Drive, asked why the City was paving 30th Street. Mayor Armstrong said it is a connection with U. S. Highway #1. Mr. Perry asked what streets are going to be paved east of the Railraod Track. Mayor Armstrong said that due to the anticipated Sewer Project east of the track, it would hot be feasible to put in paving and then tear it up for Sewer Lines. Mr. Perry said he wanted Date Palm Drive paved right now. He said people are using it as a race track. Mayor Armstrong said he lived on an unpaved street that is an expressway to the shell pit, and his street is not being paved. Mayor Armstrong said the County Connnissioners work on a budget just like the City and we must get our recommendations in on this paving right away. Mr. Pe~ asked who a person would have to see to get a street paved. Mayor Armstrong said you would have to see the City Council. Councilman Siller said he thought it would be foolish to pave a street and then have to dig it up. He said this City Council has done all it can to save the tax payers money. Mayor Armstrong said the Council has gone over the streets in Florida Shores very thoroughly and haved selected streets to be paved that serve the most people as through ways. Mr. Charles Planchak, Date Palm Drive, said there were two houses on the streets paved last year and there are twelve houses on Date Palm Drive. Mayor Armstrong said the City gets a rebate of $25,000 this year and it has to be used this year. He also emphasized that the sewer lines do not go west of the railraod track. He told Mr. Perry and Mr. Planchak he would give them all the consideration he could on the matter of paving Date Palm Drive. He said at one time the City got diesel. oil from the railroad to put on the streets but since the railroad strike we have not been able to get it. Councilman Ridgdill said that if the paving is done in the latter part of the year it might be possible the sewer lines will already be~in and your street might be paved. Councilman Siller explained that these streets to be paved in Florida Shores are main arteries for all homes in the back of Florida Shores and not necessarily just for the ones that live on those streets. The Roll Call Vote on the Resolution declaring the intent to pave certain streets in the City of Edgewater, the roll call vote was unanimous. A Proclamation, signed by the Mayor, was read declaring May 22nd, 1964 as a da~ set aside for the distribtuion of Poppies in the City of Edgewater, Florida. Mayor Armstrong announced that June 1, 1964 would be a day set up for Pulblic Hearing on the Paving. It would be at the regular meeting of the City Council held that day at 7:30 P.M. , -'U 4 . u u . u ~ . OLD BUSINESS The City Council will meet May 29th, 1964, with the Edgewater-New S~na Beach Humane Society to discuss further support from the City of Edgewater. Mayor Armstrong announced that Mr. Moorly from the State Road Department has informed him that the de-acceleration lane at the Florida Shores entrance has had all the preliminaries taken care of. The Engineers have approved it. Monies have been appropriated. It is just a matter of getting the time to do the work. NEW BUSINESS None MISCELLANEOUS Mr. Bebbington asked if the roads in Florida Shores couldn't be graded. Mayor Armstrong said the roads are very bad out there and one car has already turned over a couple of times. He also said the dry weather is very bad for the roads and there isn't much that can be done. He said the city is getting very little help from.Mr. Moynahan. We have one of our employees on jury duty and one on vacation. It is very hard to get all the work done. We are trying to move ahead. ~ITs. Paul Wasserott, Needle Palm Drive, said the corner of 27th Street and Needle Palm Drive is very dangerous. The road is washed out. Mayor Armstrong said that if it is a dangerous condition the city will take care of it immediately. Mayor Armstrong asked that Chief of Police Jack Hayman check on the detector car that goes up and down the railroad track and see if it isn't going over the speed limit. He said that it is a very dangerous situation. Mr. Donald Mason asked that the main drive, Indian River Blvd., in Florida Shores be kept up. He said the weeds are very high and it doesn't make a very good appearance. Mayor Armstrong said there are about 75 miles of roads in Florida Shores and that makes 150 miles if you include cutting weeds on both sides of the roads and that makes!~it almost impossible to keep up with. He said that Mr. Moynahan has a man working that is cutting weeds but he does most of the cutting Where there are lots to b~ sold. We have helped the situation by taking out some of the logs on the roads so the weeds can be machine mowed. There being no further business, motion duly made by Councilman Tingle we now adjourn, seconded by Councilman Ridgdill. There were no objections. ~~?/J Time 8 :30 P.M. ./il6.. ~ f2...-~)J ~ ~~~ ~ -tt-- /2r=N ~ ';d2f~ . UNCILMAN . / ~ I r~ If }-T' A~ ~ c~~ ~ ~~ COONcIIMAN /- - 4- . / Minutes taken by Marie Robinson.
