Councilman Kennedy brought up the matter of the lights in Florida Shores and Ocean Avenue Railroad crossings. The Railroad Officials are going to make a complete investigation to see if we should get lights or flashing signals. I would just like to state that the Council has not forgotten about it. Mayor Hussey stated that the Railroad Officials asked for an extension until the next meeting and would have further information at the next meeting on what should be done. . I think that the Florida East Coast is willing to go halfway on it. That is not official yet. They led me to believe that this morning. vlhat the whole cost will be is not known. If they go ahead and putthe lights there, the City will have to pay for signals and installation. That is all the information I can give you at this time. Attorney Warren was asked to check with the City Insurance Agent to see what the cost would be for insurance for Auxiliary Policerren. Under the present conditions the Auxiliary Police appointed by the Mayor are not covered by the insurance. Councilman Siller warned that the City will be liable for injuries in any accident involving the Auxiliary Police and suggested that care be taken in what they will do and where they will be stationed. Mr. Blauvelt wanted to know what plans were made for crossings on Indian River Boulevard in Florida Shores. The Mayor stated that the County Conunissioner will only be able to mix. the materials for the roads in March and April and as soon asthat time comes the crossings will be put in. The Mayor stated that this has not been forgotten, I asure you. 1-1:r. Cox: asked if the equipment used by Mr. John Carter for the City Qall park would be under his jurisdiction or under Mr. Carter's jurisdiction. Hayor Hussey said that it will be between you and Mr. Carter to decide. Mr. Lenz stated a year ago there was quite a contraversy about the school situation. Since Nov. 3 nothing has been said. According to the paper dated February 13 the school was to be built on Venezia Site. Councilman Kennedy said it would not be built there at the time he was running for office. Councilman Kennedy denied this statement by Mr. Lenz and said he could check the minutes of the meeting to prove it. J.1r. Lenz said it wasn't at a regular meeting, but at a question and answer period. Mayor Hussey stated that last Thursday he went to DeLand. He went to Mr. Smiley's office and asked if he could give him any information on a school for Edgewater. I said that everybo(}-r is asking questions and every- body has the opinion it should be here in Edgewater. It seems to me Edgewater has been forgotten. There are quite a few children in Edgewater. We realize that there is no possibility of getting a high school in Edgewater. Mr. Smiley said that he was going to Tallahassee to see the State Engineers and make arrangements for where schools were going to be. He said it was not up to him. He can make suggestions and can make proposals but it is up to the Engineers where the school would be located. He said that he could asure us that when the budget is made up for schools, Edge\'later will get consideration.. He said he would contact me in the near future. Mr. Blauvelt asked if the local organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce and Civic Associations would write a letter to the Governor if that would put any emphasis on it. The Mayor said it certainly wouldn't do any harm. II . ~ .. . ...; ~ There being no further business Councilman Seng moved we do now adjourn, seconded by Councilman Palmateer, and by vote CARRIED.
