Mayor Cairnie asked for a motion to change the order of business on the agenda, placing New Business before Old Business as he believed there was an item that needed the approval of the Council, that is, the purchase of a used tractor. Councilman Dimm objected to making the change and asked the opinion of the Attorney who stated that any deviation from the agenda must be voted upon by the Council. A motion was made by Councilman Ledbetter, seconded by Councilman Norman, to bring the matter of New Business to hand before the Old Business. Roll call vote was as follows: Councilman Norman Councilman Ledbetter Councilman Dimm Councilman Dietz Mayor Cairnie Yea Yea Nay Nay Yea f'.J'ETd BUSINESS A motion was made by Councilman Ledbetter, seconded by Councilman Norman to ad- vertise for a Used Tractor-Mower with fuawbar and power take-off, not to exceed ~ hours, further specifications to be picked up at City Hall. Bids to be in 4:00 P.M., September 3, 1969. The motion upon roll call vote CARRIED. OLD BUSINESS Councilman Dimm stated he would like to discuss the proposed fishing pier at Indian River Blvd. which had been a joint project with the Chamber of Commerce for quite sometime, both to share equally the expenses. The Chamber of Commerce would not put into escrow with the City the $2,500 which at the beginning was an estimated cost of the pier and some of the Councilman felt this should have been done, however, when the low bid from the Springer Contracting Company was being considered the Chamber submitted their check in the amount of $3,100, which was one-half of the bid. -3- , , u Q D Jr lJ -. The Special Meeting called by the Mayor on August 13 was for the specific purpose of passing an Ordinance authorizing the the signing of the contract but the Ordinance failed to pass. The Mayor took the attitude that the amount exceeded that appropriated and that was his reason for voting against the Ordinance. Now with this motion we have just passed authorizing the advertis- ing of bids on a Tractor-mower, I don't see it is any different as we don't have enough money in the Street Department but we can take it from other depart- ments. This is a natural ~rocedure of the City as you don't know a year ahead exactly what each department will need. We did this twice or more last year. The various steps to take in the procedure as prepared by the Attorney were read by Councilman Dimm. The approximate cost of these steps amounted to $825.00. All of these steps were taken before we advertised for bids for the construction of the pier. Bids were received, opened and read at the regular meeting of August 4 and the low bidder was the Spring~ontracting Company in the amount of $6,200.00 and the Special meeting of August 13 was called to accept the low bid and I'm still at a loss to know what went wrong. Mr. John Gross, a new comer to the community, asked why the pier was wanted at this particular point and was advised that it was the Chamber of Commerce pro- ject. There had been a pier here a few years back which had been partially damaged by a hurricaneand the remainder had been ordered removed by Mr. LaBonde, who at that time was the Building Inspectorfor the City of Edgewater. Mr. Gross also wanted to know why the pier wasn't considered out from the park in front of City Hall. Councilman Dietz said too many boats go out from this pier and boating and fishing can't be mixed. Councilman Ledbetter made a motion, seconded by Councilman Norman, that a check be made into the feasibility of putting a fishing pier out from the present Park and Pier. Roll call vote was as follows: Councilman Norman Councilman Ledbetter Councilman Dimm Councilman Dietz Mayor Cairnie Yea Yea Nay Nay Yea Mr. Gross offered to pay, up to $800.00, on the feasibility report providing there were no politics involved. Don Winters offered to pay one-half of this cost, however this offer was not included in the above motion. Councilman Dimm. That motion was just to delay start of the pier at Indian River Blvd but I'm very glad that you want a pier in front of City Hall but first of all I want to see the pier at Indian River Blvd. I now made a motion that we accept the low bid of Spring<<& Company to start work as soon as possible. The motion was seconded by Councilman Dietz. Attorney Hall asked if there were any conditions1 on this as all bids wer.e still open and the Chamber of Commerce had withdrawn their money. Would they be willing to pay their share again and would the work be done according to specifications? Roll call vote on the motion was as follows: Councilman Norman Councilman Ledbetter Councilman Dimm Councilman Dietz Mayor Cairnie Nay Nay Yea Yea Nay A motion was made by Councilman Dietz, seconded by Councilman Dimm, that the City Clerk set up a separate account from the General City Fund, the money offered by John Gross and Don Winters for the feasibility report for a Fishing Pier in front -4- G CJ )j '0 ~ of City Hall. Roll Call vote was unanimous. There being no further business a motion was duly made and seconded that the meeting be adjourned. The motion upon roll call vote CARRIED. Time of Adjournment: 8:55 P.M.
