He stated that about a month ago his two buildings were completed except for the swale area in front of the buildings* lie said he thought he had received his CO because O t:i•. ',,Aker had called the Florida Power & Light Cc and they had given me power, lie said he shorted Walker his CO from the State and he feels now that he is sing a little blackmailed by the City because they do not want to give him a CO till the water problem is solved. He said he had talked to Mr Derry and he had told him to bring him a contract from the sub—contractor that the work will be done and I Trill give you your CO. If the work is not done within one week or O ter. days I will withdraw the CO. Walker then explained the holdup on the CO was t1c n,-,tcr problem. He said the water came off the property onto the swale area and had no place to go. It was then brought up that Mr Walker had allowed Mr Zenobia to delete the Dry wells from the plans on request of the Owner. He was then a:3ked by Commissioner Thornton on whose authority did he delete the Dry e17. There was then a long discussion regarding, the foundation or pad and O the ;act that on the side he was not more than 22 ft with the footers away from the fill. '. alker then explained if there was any current of crater and it damarcd the, building due to the dry wells the City would be to blame. Carl Zenobia then explained the trouble there was that the adjoining property had real high sod in the swale area and the water could not get in but run down to Yr. :,allet. lie said Y.r Gallet was even willing to pay to have the sod cut down O ut 'r:o •.;ould not do it as he knew Yr LaFever. The Public Works Director then 1. in,d the drardng regarding the slope, and said the main trouble was the sod r U-.n r:ext Iroperty. There was then a long discussion between the Public Works Director and 6ommissioner Thornton. It was then decided that as long as Mr Gallet hiring Carl Zenobia and going to pay him to let him cut down the sod and let ]r. LaPcvcr get mad. The Commissioners decided that if this was all that was A_ ho]din,; up the CO to give it to him.

Roll Call was then taken on the motion -aid the vote vas five to zero. The Vayor then brought up that this was one more case where the Building Inspector went ahead without consulting the Commission, he said he was afraid something else would be coming up and that was giving these partial CO. on these buildings. He said he would like it understood that the Building Insp. would come before the Commission before issuing any Partial 001s. Commissioner Kelly stated he thought the Building Inspector whould go to the City Manager and maybe small problems could be ironed out before it would be necessary to come to the Commission. The Mayor then stated the trouble they had with the issuing of Partials, such as Bellows, Pickering and he wondered horn many more. Conur.issioner Thornton then stated when the Commission approves a set of plans and you are going to have drain fields, and so many parking places then I dontt think the City Manager or Building Inspector has the authority to override our ruling. If there is anything to be taken out of the plans then it should be taken out by the whole Commission. He also stated if this case had been brought to our attention we would not be here now. He also stated that there was a violation right from the beginning as the man only had his footers two feet from the fill and it should be five feet. Commissioner Kelly said he would like to {talker stop a job if it is not going according to the book. It ended with Mr walker not to issue any partial Co's but go to the City Manager and let the City llanager come before the Commission. !t. The 1!ayor then brought up that he had understood at the last meeting that they had advertised for a Tractor but they didInt. He would also like to include the bids to include two Police Cars and a Pick Up. And also a Police Scooter. He said the old diesel should be traded. The Mayor and Commissioner Thornton said they wanted to see the Specs on everything before it was advertised. The Pick Up should be a bare car with a six cylinder engine. The City Manager then stated if they bought anything but a Ford Tractor they would have some attachments they could not use. Commissioner Thornton then said he knew that Ford and 1!assey Ferguson Tractor parts were interchangeable. There was then a long discussion regarding the tractor and the Back Hoe. The 1!ayor then stated the next Tractor should be a Diesel as he did not want to see any more gas engines. Commissioner Kelly then brought up that all the bids should be with or without trades. There was then a motion made by Commissioner Kelly to advertise for bids on the Two Police Cars, the Pick Up Truck, the Tractor and the Police Scooter, the bids to be with or without trades, this was seconded by Commissioner waiters. All those in favor signify in the usual canner. There were five ayes. r K. The City Tanager then brought up the subject of the Tractor and asked Mr 'ichardson to explain what happened. He said the machine was operating real =food and they put a man on it and he raced the motor and brought it back real hot so he layed the man off for the rest of the day, and he had to put another operator on it. He said the operator's he has been geeting just do not care for '® their equipment. Commissioner Thornton suggested putting on a governor and the man could not race the Tractor, he also said that once the wheels are moving the little lever should not be touched and he suggested drilling and putting a chain and padlock on it. o.
