Clerk's Cash Statement for May 1967 was read. Budget Report for May 1967 was read. At this time, Councilman Lodico stated he wanted to correct a fact he had heard about.. the City of Edgewater being broke. He explained that this is not the case by stating a working balance as of May 31, 1967 of $78,076.84 plus expected income of around $50,000.00. He told the audience he wished all cities were as well off as Edgewater. COMMUNICATIONS A letter from the Edgewater Zoning & Planning Board was read recommending the City Council grant the variance request from the Edgewater Develop- ment Corporation. Councilman Bebbington asked Mr. Wiggins, Chairman of the Zoning & Planning Board,if they had intended the extension of the trailer park requested by the variance to come under the new trailer plot plan, carrying all improvements under that. Mr. Wiggins stated that was their intention as Ordinance 285 referred only to new trailer parks. Mr. Adolph LaBonde, City Building Official, stated the trailer park can't be made to comply with the requirements of Ordinance 285 until it is amended. As it is, the streets do not have to be paved. Councilman Bebbington stated that in view of approval granted to another trailer park earlier and the Zoning Boards unanimous approval, he duly made th~ motion that the request be granted. Councilman Walls seconded the motion and by vote CARRIED. The roll call vote was unanimous. Page 2 of 7 Pages , , u o o \f U ~ A second letter from the Edgewater Zoning and Planning Board was read suggesting the City Council amend Ordinance No. 285 to include any extensions, expansions, or enlargements, with the exception of Section 1. Mayor Cairnie stated that Attorney Hall will present ordinance later. A letter from J. U. Gillespie, Attorney, on behalf of A.J. Frisch and his wife, Esther K. Frisch; requesting fill Permit for some property which is detailed in an attachment was read. Councilman Mosher said the property in question needed to be filled in as it is a mosquito hazard. Councilman Bebbington stated the property now is half swamp and half grass. Mr. Dana Armstrong wished to point out that the riverfront property did need improving, but some had filled in so high that the value of property surrounding it was depreciated. Councilman Walls duly made a motion to grant the request for a fill Permit, seconded by Councilman Bebbington; and by vote CARRIED. The roll call vote was unanimous. A letter from residents of Silver Ridge subdivision was read requesting the City Council to examine the lack of maintenance throughout the development and act toward the removal of a trailer and lumber at the entrance belonging to Mr. Alexander. Mayor Cairnie suggested that Councilman Lodico look into the situation. Councilman Bebbington stated we have no control over what Mr. Alexander owns. At this point, Mayor Cairnie instructed City Attorney Hall to contact Mr. Alexander about removing the trailer, as it is an eyesore. A letter of resignation from Mrs. Mildred Winters, member of the Library Board, was read. Councilman Walls duly made motion to accept this resignation with extreme regrets, seconded by Councilman Bebbington; and by vote CARRIED. The roll call vote was unanimous.

The above Resolution was read in full by City Attorney Hall and motion duly made by Councilman Walls this Resolution be adopted, seconded by Councilman Bebbington. At this time, Mr. Ledbetter of the Edgewater Mobile Homes asked about this Resolution entering into contract with large users, and wanted to know why trailer parks and motels were not considered as such. He thought they used as much as laundrys. Councilman Lodico pointed out that a laundry paid 100% of their water bill as a sewer rate and had only one or two bathrooms. A trailer park has many. At the present time, a laundry would pay more in a years time for one or two bathrooms than a big trailer park, which was unfair. Mr. Ledbetter said we always referred to last year; but what about this year. Councilman Lodico told him we had public hearings on these matters and he should have spoken out then. Mayor Cairnie called for vote of the Council and ResolutioR No. 186 was passed by vote of the City Council of the City of Edgewater, Florida at the regular meeting of said Council held June 5th, 1967. The roll call vote was unanimous. Page 4 of 7 Pages , r U o Q H U OLD BUSINESS A Certification of Bids Received was read for cabinets for the new Library. The only bid received was from Wright & Ford Mi11works in the amount of $1,445.00 . Motion was duly made by Councilman Walls that the bid from Wright & Ford Mi11works for $1,445.00 be tentatively accepted pending a check of specifications, seconded by Councilman Bebbington; and passed by vote of the City Council of the City of Edgewater at the regular meeting held June 5th, 1967. The roll call vote was unanimous. A Certification of Bids Received was read for paving around City Hall, Community Center, and the new Library; plus a retaining wall for the Library. The only bid received was from Acme Paving Company of Titusville in the amount of $2,978.20 for total paving and $1,912.00 for the retaining wall; net total for both being $4,890.20. Motion was duly made by Councilman Walls that this bid be tabled for further study, seconded by Councilman Bebbington and by vote CARRIED. The roll call vote was unanimous. NEW BUSINESS Councilman Walls made a motion that the City Clerk be authorized to place bids for seventeen fire hydrants; the bids to be returned by 4:00 P.M. on June 19th,1967. Councilman Bebbington seconded the motion. Mr. Dana Armstrong pointed out the bid was in Sunday.s paper. Mayor Cairnie explained that the City Engineer, Mr. Groover, placed the ad before the council had a chance to make the motion. The motion was voted upon and by vote CARRIED. The roll call vote was unanimous. Councilman Walls made a motion that the City Clerk be authorized to place bids for the carpet and tile to be installed in the new Library. the bids to be returned by 4:00 P.M. on June 19th, 1967. Councilman Bebbington seconded the motion. Councilman Mosher asked which part of the Library would be carpet and which part would be tile. Councilman Walls explained that the entrance way, work area, and area leading to and around the water fountain would be tile. The book area and lounge would be carpet. He took this opportunity to explain that the City would be paying for the tile and carpet, but not the shelving as origina'lly planned. The reason for this is that the Volusia County Public Library Improvement Fund can only pay for what is considered equipment. Therefore, they are assuming the cost of the shelving and we the cost of the carpet and tile. Councilman Mosher then stated he thought the Library floor should be all tile and could see no advantage to the carpeting. Councilman Walls stated that the Library Planning Board had planned some time ago to install both carpet and tile as previously mentioned. Mrs. Nora Gillespie asked if the bid was to include both tile and carpet or were they to be bid on separately. Councilman Walls explained that both items were to be bid on together. The motion was voted on by the Council and by vote CARRIED. Councilman Mosher abstained with all other members voting yea. Page 5 of 7 Pages rr U o o H U Councilman Bebbington made a motion that the City Clerk be authorized to place bids for a used drag1ine to becreturned by 4:00 P.M. on June 19th, 1967 to City Hall, with statement that specifications can be picked up at City Hall. Councilman Walls seconded the motion. Mr. Nat Brittingham asked why the City wanted to purchase used equipment when they could get new equipment for just a little more money. He couldn't see buying something someone else had discarded. Councilman Walls stated that we were not going to buy junk and could always turn down the bids. Mayor Cairnie explained the reason for buying a used drag1ine with this example. Recently the County wanted to sell a drag- line with very few working hours for a very good price because it was too small for their needs, but wouldn't wait till we could bring it up for a motion. We missed a good opportunity and hope by placing a bid for a used drag1ine, an equal opportunity will come our way. The motion was voted upon by the City Council and by vote CARRIED. The roll call vote was unanimous. Councilman Walls made a motion that the City Clerk be authorized to place bids for 170 feet of reinforced concrete pipe; such bids to be turned in to City Hall by 4:00 P.M. on June 19th. Councilman Bebbington seconded the motion and by vote CARRIED. The roll call vote was unanimous. MISCELLANEOUS Councilman Mosher made a motion that the City Clerk be authorized to place bids for tile for the new Library floor, but the motion died for lack of a second. Councilman Bebbington wished to inform those residents of Silver Ridge Subdivision that the City has already taken over the sewer system there and the Board of Health had been in to inspect it. He told them their sewer bill would be on the current water bill and asked their co-operation as the system is now being serviced every day. He asked that anyone seeing persons around the pump house to please call City Hall because someone had pulled a switch in the pump house the previous Saturday night and this could be detrimental to the sewer system. He also commended Mr. Ohrwall, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Ream, and Mr. Midkiff on the fine job they did of painting the main sewer plant this summer, and invited the citizens to go down and inspect the plant. We have been using different chemicals that have eliminated the odor and the noisy motor has been replaced. He wished to also commend the crew for the job that has been done in improving the water plant. We have been using different chemicals here also and have eliminated the rust and are constantly sending water samples to the Betz Laboratory for testing and suggestions in chemical changes. We hope to have the best water in Florida in two or three months. At this time, Councilman Lodico stated that two street lights are.being installed near the new Shuffleboard Clubhouse, where we also have restrooms. A few more are being installed at the east end of Ocean Avenue between S. Riverside Drive and the river and some in the north section are to be improved. The guards on the street lights on Indian River Boulevard will be removed so that the light will shine in all directions.
