Meeting opened to the floor. Mr. Earl Tingle ask to be heard on various
matters. He stated he had been a resident of Edgewater for the last ten years
and several months ago water had been installed in the City, but still he had
no water. I have made my deposits and have the cancelled check to prove it.
He was informed the City would install 100 ft. of line down Wilkinson Street
and he would have to stand the expense from thereon. He stated coming from
Park Ave. he was within 100 ft. of the line. Mayor Shaeffer ask if he had an
easement to go over other peoples property. He then stated Wilkinson Street
was a thoroughfare around to Park Avenue and there were trees in the middle of
the street and wanted to know when the City intended to remove them. Councilman
Farrell ask to answer this question. He then stated he was in charge of the
streets at present and this was the first time it had been brought up. If there
had been a request to have these trees removed, it would have been done, but
this was the first he had heard of it. The City trucks use this street and they
have not complained about the trees. Mayor Shaeffer then ask Mr. Tingle if he
wanted these trees removed. He did not answer directly yes or no, but stated
he brought it up to see why the City had not moved these trees. Mayor Shaeffer
then stated he wanted to make a promise. I am running for Mayor of this City
tomorrow, and if I am elected Mayor I will see that these trees are removed.
Mr. Tingle then again stated he had made a water meter deposit, and I think I
am entitled to have water. Mayor Shaeffer stated he would answer that question.
I am going to make another promise. I will see that starting at U. s. #1, 100 ft.
of water line will be laid on Wilkinson street and from there on you will have
to pay the rest to your house. I do not hold animosity toward anyone, and as long
as I am Mayor of this City you are entitled to anything, just like the rest of
the people. Mayor Shaeffer than ask Mr. Tingle if he ever heard of the old say-
ing "You can catch more files with molasses than vinegar".

Mr. Beach: Has anything been done about a guard rail over the canal on
Riverside Drive. Mayor Shaeffer stated he had tried to get Mr. Saxon, but he
was busy just like everyone else, but he had been in contact with Mr. Galbreath
and something will be done, but how soon he could not say. He then stated Mr.
Saxon was going to give the City a grader just as soon as their new one comes
in, and I have plans for this grader.
Mr. Whitten, Secretary of the Edgewater Property Owners Association then ask
that the resume speed sign be placed farther South. Mayor Shaeffer then stated
the State Road Department controlled this road and the City had tried upon
other occasions to move this sign and they had come and replaced it, as they
consider that part of the City rural and therefore place the sign where they
see fit.
Mayor Shaeffer also stated we are working on "getting a Traffic Light on Park
Avenue again. According to the survey there was not enough east and west
traffic to warrant a light, but through another contact the party had promised
to do everything possible through Tallahassee.
Ask if the Mayor was going to use the grader in Florida Shores, he stated it
would be used allover the City and he wanted the Florida Shores people to
know that Florida Shores was part of the City and would be treated the same
as the rest of the City as far as service was concerned.
The Mayor was then ask if the City, in the future, intended to pave streets in
Florida Shores. He stated he had plans for Florida Shores and did not elaborate
further.
Mr. Beach then stated when Mr. Moynahan was here he had talked about dedicating
the boulevard to the River to the City, and now he hears that he only intends
to dedicate one side. Is this true? Mayor Shaeffer stated Mr. Moynahan had
given his word this would all be dedicated to the City before the May 21st
dead line.
Mr. Hussey ask if there was an agreement with the City and Florida Shores as
to specified streets and mileage when taken into the City. He was informed
the plats were all in the City Hall and open for inspection at any time as well
as all other records that anyone would care to inspect.
Mr. Whitten then stated the Edgewater Property Owners Association would have
their next meeting the 20th of November and ask all the Council to attend
this meeting as they were working for the welfare of the City of Edgewater.
There being no further business Councilman Farrell moved we do now adjourn,
seconded by Councilman Henry and by vote CARRIED.
