he would have to have it put on the agenda 24 hours before the meeting.
Councilman Shaeffer stated he had a subject he would like to bring up and that
it pertained to a new City Hall. He stated we had out grown the present
building due to the water department being incorporated into city work and
there was no space available, and, he suggested that this matter be taken into

Mayor Sedgwick then stated the present building was inadequate for both a
City Hall and Library as a lot of the citizens do not know we have a Library
and it was his thought to turn the entire building into a Library and suggested
the various clubs of the City take over sponsership of the Library.
Mr. Frazier, President of the Businessmen's Association and Mr. Piser, President
of the C. of C. both stated their clubs would be back of the council l~ in the
endeavor to obtain a new City Hall.
Mr. Smi. th, of Edgewater Acres ask to address the Council which he stated was not
a new matter, but an old matter which had been brought up and ignored. He
suggested a Volunteer Fireman be made a Special Police in Edgewater Acres. He
stated if anything happened in Edgewater Acres like it did in Ormond Beach there
would be no one to give them protection as one police officer could not take
care of the whole city. He stated Johnny Moroco was a Fireman and could easily
handle the situation for them. Mr. Brown also stated he had ask for Police
protection about three years ago and had submitted names to the City for the job.
He stated he had also talked to Sheriff Thursby and had been advised if Chief
Norman reconmended it, a deputy could be appointed, but nothing had been done.
