Uuyck Business License. Old Meyers Boat Workd. Mayor Sedgwick - If I remember right, didn't we give this over to the zoning board? City Clerk Yes we did Mayor Sedgwick - ;°Te never have had a reply from them and that has been at least two months ago. Mr. Walter Knapp - There was a referal back, reminding us of the fact that due to the changing of nature of the business it was against the ordinances. Mayor Sedgwick - But you never filed any communication with the Council. City Clerk - I have not had any. Councilman Broga - I don't remember any. City Clerk - We have not had any communication on this at all and the man has been coming in and asking about it Councilman Henry Wasn't there a big protest on this? Mayor Sedgwick - There was a protest. The ones that signed the protest now withdrawed there names on it. At least about half of them. Vivian do you know anything about this? You have been down in that neighborhood a long time. What has been the reaction? Vivian Oyler - I do know that in the first place everyone of the neighbors were against it. I believe they understood it was for repair of motors too and they were all against it. Then Mrs. Huyck told me that it was simply that they wanted to sell one boat and one motor. Have one boat of their own and one motor and have one extra boat and one motor to sell. No repairing whatsoever. She wanted to know in order to trite him and he would know whether to bring the boat and motor or not, but she did not find out in time and he came down and they stopped at ' place. I said, now is it true that you only want one boat and one motor to sell. He said, 71 only want to do as the rest of you are doing along the river." That was not the same as she had been telling me and then something was said about the permit he had before. I don't know what the permit was he had before, that is what Mr. Huyck himself had. Carl Meyers was given a permit for building boats. Now if it was for only selling one boat and motor, Probably the neighbors would not object, but that would be the only thing, but again the idea comes up too, whether they want to sell that place or not, -If they were given a permit. I don't know what the permit was for. Do you Mrs. Dippery? City Clerk - I can't remember off hand. I could look it up. Vivian Oyler - Now to sell one boat and one motor I don't think anyone would object but they could and did when they signed that petition. He said, "I only want to do what you are all doing on the rivert'and that is a different story entirely. Mayor Sedgwick - He was in here. He was only down a couple of days. He is not a well man and he is not able to do any work anyway. Vivian Oyler - They are not coming back until November at least that is what she told me. Mayor Sedgwick - He wants to have the privilege of having a boat of some kind there and its a fibreglass boat and if he could sell any he would have the privilege of selling them. That is all that he wants. Councilman Shaeffer - He would not be required to have a license to sell one boat and motor. Mayor Sedgwick - Well he means he wants to have them and advertise them for sale and he would have a place of business. Councilman Shaeffer - y.hy don't we table the matter until he comes back and comes before us and hash it out again. Mayor Sedgwick - I think what he wanted to know was whether he was going to be able to procure it or not so he could make his arrangements about his supply of boats for the winter. Councilman Broga - I think it would be up to Er. Huyck to come before us and explain what he wants to do dorm there. Mayor Sedgwick - a That would be the best, but now as long as he has gone back and we got nothing definate, to notify him when he comes back to appear before the council and state his case. Councilman Broga - Or write us a letter. Mayor Sedgwick - :rite a letter and in the meantime we can take action. Councilman Shaeffer - I offer a motion that this matter be tabled, but authorize it be brought before the Mayor any time he wishes. A letter or personal appearance. Councilman. Henry - The former Council got about six Protests on this from people as I remember one council meeting I attended here, that live near there and ofjected. Councilman Shaeffer - I remember that. Mayor Sedgwick - I believe we can handle this, but want to wait until we have something more definite to work on. City Clerk Any second to this motion? Councilman Broga I second. Mayor Sedgwick - Any more old business Mr. Southard - Mr. Mayor, I have been appointed Chairrin of a committee to look into the im- provement of Edgewater Mail Service. I have contacted the postal inspector in Daytona Beach and as a result it was suggested that the Civic Club and the City Council address a letter to the postal department through the local Post office, requesting the City of Edgewater be given mail delivery service. Mayor Sedgwick - Mr. Southard, this is not on the agenda for this meeting and I suggest you leave your proposed letter with the Clerk to be Put on the agenda for the June 16th meeting. f NEW BUSINESS BIDS ON GARBAGE TRUCK Four bids were received by the Clerk.

He stated he had 10 acres west of the City he would be willing to sell to the City for ;;1,000.00 the same price he paid for this land, or lease the same to the City for 10 or 20 years, which ever suited them best, if they would pay the taxes on same which amount to X2.71 per year.
