'.I , '"'\ '.." ,. Attorney Chisholm stated the City Could not give an exclusive contract, so the results would be for the courts to decide. Mayor Shaeffer stated suits cost money, and I will not get the City into litigation. Councilman Seng; I do not have much to add to George's statement. We certainly cannot make a contract vnth anyone until this contract expires in May 1966, and if we pass this Resolution it is a chance we take, and I cannot see the idea. The City of Edgewater has a bad contract. t1r. Brown: This is only a Resolution and makes electricity available only where needed and New Smyrna can't serve. Why be afraid to go to court? ~Vhy be tied dovm, vlhen Florida Pm,rer & Light can serve industry and Ne,'r Smyrna can't. If they cannot serve our purpose, they should sell out. Mayor Shaeffer stated he had talked to Mr. Wright, Mr. Cole and also Mr. Ibore, and they are willing to consider amicable arrangements ~dth New Smyrna Beach. Councilman Smith: It vnll be up to the people of NeVI Smyrna Beach, and not the Commission. I do not believe as t1r. Armstrong. It will only cause friction in New Smyrna Beach. Councilman Beck: Why do we feel it necessary to pass this Resolution? Councilman Armstrong ask to answer and he stated by taking restrictions off where it can serve the City best. Motion by Councilman Armstrong we adopt this Resolution. There was no second, so this Resolution died for want of a second. ~lr. Bro~m: I was not present at the last meeting when the Council turned dOvm a request for $1000 for Brochures to advertise the City. This is not just for the Chamber of Commerce, but advertising for the whole City. We do not want to be asleep and let all this business pass over us or around us. Lets look at what this Nova Project means to us in this locality. It will increase the whole area and we ,.rant to be in on it. Right now ~le are having Maps of Edgewater and bill boards made and the merchants are all pitch- ing in to help out. On all the road maps, EdgeHater is not on the map and why not? Mayor Shaeffer stated he agreed 100% with Mr. Brovm as our name is not on the maps and I ,vish someone \-lOuld make an issue of it. ~fr. Brown stated there was going to be a meeting at Johnstons and anyone of the Council ,,;-auld be welcome to come he was sure. Lets put Edgevlater on the map. lIe better move now or be left high and dry. Mayor Shaeffer stated it ,'las not a dead issue and he then ask each Councilman if they approved the spending of $1000 for this advertising and they all agreed, but could not do anything at present, but would have to wait for the new budget to come in on November 1st, so at the meeting of November 6th an appropriation will be made, he promised. The Clerk ask permission to call an Auditor to audit the books at the close of the Fiscal Year. Permission granted. There being no further business Councilman Beck moved this meeting be recessed until Friday at 1:30 P.H., seconded by Councilman Armstrong and by vote CARRIED. Time 8:45 P.N.
