Itr. Knapp was called upon and stated a state conservation official had assured
him that all that was necessary for any comnnmity to do, VIas the Council to
pass a resolution that the mean high water r.uu~k shall be the bulkhead line and
that any dredging and filling done beyond that point l1Iu.st be done after
application is l~de to some specified body who ~Qll investigate the proposition
and issue a license if it is merited. }Iayor Sed~Qck then suggested that l~.
Knapp contact the conservation department and have a representative come before
the Council at the next regu~ar neeting.
Letter pertaining to Zoning. This vIas discussed .....'idel:y and cO!1T.lented upon from
the floor and the COlillcil members. It 'tras suggested this be set up in an
Ordinance as a stop gap Q~til the routine procedure on a final zoning ordinance
was drafted. Attorney ChishoLm stated the same procedure would have to be
followed on this as a reD~lar ordD1ance. Attorney ChishoLD then vIas instructed
to draH up a notice to be inserted in the neHspaper for a hearing before the
Council and Zoning Board.
NEW BUSINESS
The neil1y organized Contractors presented an Ordinance to be acted upon.
Mayor Sed~'Qck stated this ordinance was desirable in some instances and
in some it i'las not, and he ,'lould like to hear vrhat the Council had to say
as each Counci~an had a copy of srune to study before the meeting. Council-
ma.n Henry stated 1.:1'. Read ivas present and proba.bly Hould like to speak for
the Contractors. IT. Read stated he was Secretal~ Treasurer of the Organization
and all the Contractors had been ask to be present, but there 1"lere only about
four or five present, but he would anSi1er any questions pertaining to the
proposed ordinance. }~yor Sedgvdck ask P~. Read if this proposed ordinance
was acceptable to the whole organization or if there had been a lot of con-
troversy over it. }h~. Read stated there was no controversy over. it and it
was practically a cOPJ of the ordinance used in other cities such as DeLand,
Da;y-tona Beach, Holly Hill and !\Iei'l Srrnfina Beach. It i'laS stated the eXaJT'i.l1.a-
tion fee \':as rather high, but Er. :dead stated that Has ilrrr.aterial as the
present contractors would not have to take an examination. Cmmc:..lman
Shaeffer stated he had read the ordinance thoroughly and v:as not in favor of
a ;~,250.00 exarrination fee as he thought ~plOO.OO i'lOuld be sufficient. Er.
Be~~ett stated this fee had been changed several tunes, but as far as the
initial fee viaS concerned it Hould be O. K. ~~th the organization to put
in a fee they thought best. lh'. Read stated the County fee was ;,~250.00.

the Contractors at their neA~ meeting ~~d c~ne to some Q~derstanding.
