Councilman Broga stated the Humane Society and Police Department are taking
care of the situation pretty well.
Plat for Read Subdivision submitted to Council. Mr. Tom Read appeared be-
fore the Council and explained where it was located in connection with Florida
Shores. Objections were raised by l~. Scofield for Florida Shores as to
houses backing up to Cocoa Palm Drive and also 19th Street. Mr. Read brought
out that they would only back up to sides of houses and not the front of any
house. Mr. Scofield brought out if plat was changed to face on 19th street
Florida Shores would give the 5 ft. planter strip to the Read's, but if not
would give right of way for street to connect up to Cocoa Palm and 19th street.
After discussion ~fuyor Sedgwick ask for the decision of the Council, stating
this was not final. All the Read boys wanted to knOvl was if the plat was
acceptable to the City before applying to the F.H.A. for loans. Councilman
Farrell stated as far as he vias concerned the plat was O. K. but would like
to ask about the street, whether it would be shell or black top. Mr. Read
stated the road would be black top if F.H.A. approved and if not it would be
shell. He stated F. H..A. specifications vrere more rigid than the County
and would have to be followed. Councilman Henry stated this means more houses
and more water users and that is what vIe want. Councilman Shaeffer stated he
could not see anything wrong with the plat or the 'tlay the houses are to be set
so in my estimation the plat is O.K. Councilman Broga stated he was in favor
of Plat.
The Chamber of Commerce in there letter ask for the Clerk's old office to be
used for their office. This was discussed and Mayor Sedgwick stated he was
not in favor of doing anything until after Thursday Evening meeting when a
Library Association is to be formed and then let them decide. Some of the
Council members disagreed and stated the City should decide what is to be
done. After discussion on which room could be given, it was decided to the
satisfaction of both the Council and Chamber of Commerce members present to
give them use of 11ayor's old office for a Chamber of Commerce Office. Motion
duly made by Councilman Shaeffer \'ie give the Hayor's room for C. of C. use,
