He stated if there was no answer he suggested the City ask for bids. Mayor Shaeffer stated he had a survey from Mr. Swoope and would being it up later. NEW BUSINESS Letter from Fred W. DeMotte regarding naming a representative to go to the Surplus Property Depot at Stark, Florida. Mayor Shaeffer announced that Councilman Beck had been selected and there would be a meeting in his office Thursday, May 18th to decide just what equipment the City needs at this time. Also at this time I will have two plats submitted by Mr. Swoope which I will explain. Mr. Bennett ask if the City intended to go thru with the paving of Marion Avenue into the Industrial Area. He was assured by Mayor Shaeffer they had not forgotten it. Councilman Armstrong stated he had quite a number of calls from property owners in Florida Shores complaining about the rough roads. I, rnyseld, do not know what we can do about it without resuming full responsibility. Our city scraper would have to make four trips over one road where a large grader can do it in three trips. Mayor Shaeffer stated it was getting closer and closer to the time the City would have to purchase a large grader. Next month we will be free of debt on our truck and we should be thinking of a grader. If we do not purchase one during our term, we should at least make provisions in the Budget for next year to do so. Mr. Brown ask that a light be placed at Mary and Jeane Streets in Edgewater Acres. Mayor Shaeffer stated it would be taken care of tomorros. Mr. Brown stated he would pay for this light for two years, the same as he has done in the past. Mr. Tedei. We understood that Florida Shores were going to leave some equip- ment, something like a grader. Mayor Shaeffer stated he would like to say yes to this, but there was nothing in writing to substantiate this. Mayor Shaeffer then ask Mr. Scofield if it were true they were going to lay off men. Mr. Scofield stated he did not know as he had nothing to do with the men. Mr. Grafton ask why rock salt could not be spread to stop the dust. He under- stood if it was kept moist it would pack down. Oil was also suggested. ~~. Brown stated Lake Street was fine since the City oiled it and he would pay for the oil if they would oil all the streets in Edgewater Acres. Mayor Shaeffer then stated he could get the oil and if Mr. Brown would pay for it, it would be done. Councilman Armstrong then ask Mr. Scofield if he knew of any reason why the streets in Florida Shores were not being scraped. Mr. Scofield stated he did not. Councilman Armstrong then ask the Mayor to check Lake laura as he was of the opinion there was too much shell being taken out as the street might cave in. Mayor Shaeffer stated he would inspect it in the morning. . ~. \....., ~ ~ '--' There being no further business Councilman Armstrong moved we do now adjourn, seconded by Councilman Seng and by vote CARRIED.
