Attorney Chisholm had an Ordinance ready for appointing a special policeman,
but Councilman Henry, who had been appointed to recommend a special policeman
for Edgewater Acres asked that no action be taken until he can confer with
Police Chief Norman. There was a discussion about the extent of authority of
a special officer.
NEW BUSINESS
Councilman Shaeffer requested a leave from September 2nd to October 10th.
Councilman Broga made a ,notion to grant the leave, seconded by Councilman
Farrell and so CAFEZED.
Mr. Nat Brown asked if water lines could be extended to include the only
house in Edgewater Acres which would be without a water line according to
original plans, stating that this would require about 200 ft. more of pipe.
Mayor Sedgwick explained that a set amount of pipe is to be laid and any addi-
tional pipe at one place would result in less pipe elsewhere. Several streets
which now have houses had none when the -water system was planned, therefore
they are not included. The Mayor stated that he will confer with the engineers
about the possibility of including this house, which is on Lake Street in
Section 5 of Edgewater Acres.
I'ir. Walter Knapp presented sketches of possible welcome signs to be placed at
•
the North and South entrances to Edgewater, when the U.S. Highway it 1 four-
laning work has been completed. The Mayor advised turning these over to the
Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber of Commerce President :m. Piser recommended that the City appoint an
examining board to check applicants for General Contractors' licenses, also
electric and plumbing contractors. He claimed that the Public is not protected
now, that a contractor can get a license without known qualifications.
The Mayor stated that it is not the City's responsibility to investigate con-
tractors, that it is the responsibility of the individual, that the City can
not refuse anyone asking for a General Contractor's license. The Mayor stated
that the new zoning ordinance to be adopted in September is to contain a clause
requiring a performance bond for all contractors building within Edgewater.
This would guarantee that construction work be completed successfully.
There being no further business, Councilman Farrell moved we do now adjourn,
seconded by Councilman Shaeffer and by vote CARRIED.
