CONTINUATION OF THE REGULAR }EETING
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EDGEWATER, VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLORIDA,
HELD SEPTE}ffiER 8th, 1959.
Continuation of the Regular Meeting held September 8th, 1959 was called
to order on September 10th, 1959 by Acting Mayor Crawford C. Shaeffer at
2:00 P.M. with all Councilmen present.
Mrs. Katherine Odham was present to explain the benefits of the one
registration system. She explained there was much confusion where two
registrations were required due to the fact the most people coming here
are not used to registering twic~ and when they register either in the
City or County they think they can vote at all times. This is very confusing
and annoying. The County register keeps the books up at all times as to
deaths, changes of names, changing of address or districts which i~ done
daily. All this work is done at no cost to the City. The City stell handles
their elections the same as usual and the registration list is furnished for
City elections by the County. The Legislature passed a bill at the last
session allowing cities regardless of size in Volusia County to participate
in single registration without a charter change. This is known as House
Bill No. 1265.
After discussion and questions answered by Mrs. Odham a motion was duly made
by Councilman Henry we adopt the single registration, seconded by Councilman
Broga and by vote CARRIED. Roll call vote being as follows:-
Councilman Broga Yea
Councilman Henry Yea
Councilman Farrell Yea
Acting Mayor Shaeffer Yea
A Resolution to be drawn patterned after the Resolution adopted by Holly Hill
and two copies sent to the County Commissioners and one to lv1rs. Odham after
the passage at a regular meeting to be held September 21st, 1959. This must
be in the hands of the County Commissioners by October 1st, 1959 to take
affect January 1st, 1960.
There being no further business Councilman Farrell moved we do now adjourn,
seconded by Councilman Henry and by vote CARRIED.
