ORDINANCE
AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING THE BID OF FRANK SPRING CONTRACTING COHPANY OF PORT
ORANGE, FLORIDA, TO INSTALL AND CONSTRUCT A DOCK AT THE INDIAN RIVER BOULVE_
VARD PARK IN EDGE~lATER, VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLORIDA, AS PER SPECIFICATIONS FOR
THE SUH OF SIX THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS ($6,200.00); REJECTING ALL OTHER
BIDS: AND AUTHORIZING THE ~~YOR A1~ CITY CLERK TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT OR
CONTRACT l'lITH THE SAID FRANK SPRINGER CONTRACTING COMPANY; AND SETTING FORTH
AN EFFECTIVE DATE THEREFOR.
The above ordinance and contract agreement was read by City Attorney Charles
A. Hall.
A motion was duly made by Councilman Dimm, seconded by Councilman Dietz to accept
and adopt the above Ordinance and authorize the Hayor and City Clerk to execute
the agreement.
The Mayor remarked that this contract is for $6,200 and that the Chamber of
Commerce had given their check for $3,100 which is half of the contract bid on
constructing the pier but what about the other additional costs? Is the Chamber
agreeable to pay their part of this, which is roughly in the neighborhood of $500.
I
Brittingham: The Chamber agreed that they will pay their half of the other ex-
penses but that no definite figure or cost had been set.

Ledbetter: vmat about lights? no provision has been made for them. We started
out with $2,500 and the Chamber was to match this amount but there still isn't
~y provision for lights.
Dietz: It makes no difference what was put into the budget for the pier, the
idea was to earmark something and. $2,500 was merely a starting point.
Brittin~ham: Back in 1967 or 68 the City, at a joint meeting with the Chamber,
agreed to that figure but since then things have gone up.
Mrs. Hill: I think the fishing pier isa wonderful idea for people who love to
fish.

& Pier budget so there is enough'.to cover this amount.

Brittingham: Does this mean that the pier is out?
Dietz: vfuat about the contract we voted to accept?
Attorney Hall: You have not authorized the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the contract.
Brittingham: I'm very disappointed, is the worse thing that has happened to the
community. You all agreed, at one time, that this was a good project. The Chamber
has worked hard to get this money and I think you three have sorta let us down.
Knowing this, I request that the $3,100 be returned to the Chamber of Commerce
immediately.
Mayor Cairnie advised the check could be picked up in the morning.
Mr. Hill: I think this shows a very low public spirit.
Dietz: At the first meeting of the City Council and the Chamber of Commerce,
Ledbetter volunteered for the job to help with the pier. Now how can you vote
against it?
Ledbetter: No.
Dimm: vJould ~you now change your vote?
The Mayor declared the meeting adjourned.
Time of adjournment: 7:25 P.M.
