Councilman Farrell stated he had received a number of complaints that some
of the residents were not connected li.Lth City Water yet and ask what will
be done. Mayor Sed~dck stated that all not connected by May 15th would be

thought each one should be given a chance to hook up, but it was not fair
for those that have hooked in. Mayor Sedgwick stated about 5% were not

l-ir. lflalter Knapp ask about bus service for the children going to the beach this
summer. Mayor Sedgwick stated no word has been received from the City of New
Snwrna about this program.
:r-!r. Brown stated there was a large hole in pavement at Park and Flagler and ask
to have this filled. Mayor Sedgwick stated he would take care of this the first
thing in the morning.
Mr. Gates stated there was a little difficulty about his lease as his lease
called for 85 Ft. and now someone had planted shrubs on his property and he
wanted to know just where he stood. \fuen ask the width of his property he
stated 59 Ft. and he was willing to give up 20 ft. of the leased ground. He
also brought out his lease clearly stated this land was not to ge used for
commercial purposes. He also stated there were two trees in the road and ask
that they be removed. It was brought out the trees are on the easement of
his property and not City property. Councilman Shaeffer stated this lease
was a controversal matter and I claim the former Council got in bad in making the
lease inthe first place, as the City had plans for a parking lot for City hall.
Hayor Sedgwick ask the wishes of the Council. This was discussed again and
motion duly made by Councilman Shaeffer this be tabled until the next Council
meeting, seconded by Councilman Broga and by vote CARRIED.
Ylayor Sedgwick then announced there would be a Special Council Meeting May 7th,
