The first reading of the above Ordinance was read in full by City Attorney Charles Hall and questions were called for. Mr. Richard Hanson asked why the Fire Department budget couldn't be broken down in the monthly report so the general public would know how much the Fire Department is actually spending and how much is being paid as rental on fire hydrants. He also asked if the Fire Department received the money allotted to the dispatchers when they were abolished. Councilman Dietz gave a breakdown of what was spent in the Fire Department on salaries, equipment and so forth and told Mr. Hanson that the budget was posted every month for the public to see~ Mr. Hanson replied that he still would like to see the two breakdowns between the actual Fire Department spending and the amount used for fire hydrant rentals. Mr. Armstrong asked if this was the first reading and Mayor Cairnie replied that it was. Mr. Armstrong then asked if it shouldn't have a motion and second before it was opened for questions. At this time the motion was duly made by Councilman Dimm that this Ordinance be adopted, seconded by Councilman Dietz and passed unanimously at the regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Edgewater, Florida held October 7, 1968.

Page Three o o o o Mr. Bebbington raised the question of homeowners having to pay for this service while they were away, but the trailer park residents did not. He stated that he thought this was unfair. Councilman Dietz stated that this is exactly the same as the ordinance in effect when Mr. Bebbington was a councilman. Mayor Cairnie explained that most of the homeowners still had trash collected when they were away because in most instances they had someone care for their yards while trailer park residents did not. He stated that most trailer parks and businesses that have an excess amount of trash carry their own to the city dump. Mr. Armstrong stated that he should not have to pay for trash collection because he had no trash picked up as neither did any of his neighbors and felt it was unfair for those without trash pickups to pay for those who did. Councilman Dietz asked what he suggested and Mr. Armstrong replied that the City should issue trash permits to those with trash collection and only charge them. Councilman Dietz explained that this would incur extra help and expense and would be an unfavorable solution. He also told Mr. Armstrong that the same; problem existed when he was mayor and that he had found no solution, and further, that today the problem is increased because the City has grown considerably over the past few years. Mr. Bebbington asked how they were going to enforce cans for trash, that most people place it along side the road. Mayor Cairnie stated that there are always some people that won1t do what they should do. Councilman Dietz explained that the only answer was to raise the prices. Councilman Dimm asked Mr. Armstrong if he was against the Council to which Mr. Armstrong replied he was not, but that he was against the discrimination to those with no trash pickups. Councilman Dietz stated that a lot of cities use the ad valoreum taxes for this purpose but that this City did not want to do that, therefore, a 25% increase. Motion was duly made by Councilman Dimm that the second reading of this Ordinance be waived, seconded by Councilman Dietz and by vote CARRIED. ORDINANCE NO. 612 AMENDING SECTION 4.
