City Attorney Walden advised that Lieutenant Jones has indicated that he has approved all of them, with the exception of the Torch Club.

The State, of course, has nothing to do 0 with the Night Club renewals, that is the extra two hours, and I am saying, and I would like the minutes to show that this is not ap- proving the Night Club licenses, those will come up later.

Marant presented a letter from John Farina certifying that ' the work done in connection with this bill all have to do with the project. The work has been checked, and he (Mrs .F.arina) approves $ ,. the bill for payment. Mayor Marant: On the sheet that I passed out last week that I think s - you all have a copy of , the S.W. 4th Avenue and 6th Street was an addition and not an easement. Commissioner Brice: That should be charged to the Bonding Company then. Is that right, Mr. Walden? City Attorney Walden: I think so. Commissioner Brice: He will have to submit a separate invoice for that particular project. We can approve the payment of the entire invoice with the understanding that before the check is given they give us a separate invoice for that which has to be recorded for the bonding company. A motion was made by Commissioner Brice to approve the bill for pay- ment, to be taken from the Sewer Construction Fund, and then the check be held by the City Clerk until Hosey submits a separate invoice for A the extension (S.W. 4th Avenue and 6th Street) . Commissioner Kelly: That extension, was that an addition?

The &X;i2corner, there is just sand there now. The city put the rock in in the first place, and the contractor took it up, so they ought'to put it back. MEETING OF POLICE & FIRE COMMITTEE: Mayor Marant stated that some time back the Police & Fire Committee had a meeting with the Fire Chief, and at that time they decided to hire a new man with the stipulation that Ed Moore would be trained to be a fire inspector in order to take some of the load off of the Building Inspector. At this time Mr. Moore is requesting that the City extend to him one week's training to be held in March, 1968, in Ocala. • He is willing to drive his own car, with gas expenses included in the cost of transportation. He is requesting $100 to take care of the gas expenses, room and registration. The trainirg will include fire in- spection, arson detection, fire fighting tactics, fire department administration and public relations.

The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kelly, and f the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes WATER LINE TO FLEET TRANSPORT: -3- ,x City Attorney Walden stated that he was asked to have ready for the meeting tonight the matter of extending a water line along Stirling Road to serve the Fleet Transport property. Mr. John Farina, City Engineer, recommends a 6 inch line along the proposed route of the South side of Stirling Road, westward to the East line of Bryan Road, and then Northerly along the East line of Bryan Road to the North end of the Fleet property. Mr. Farina estimates the total cost for in- stalling such a line, including fittings and valves and 3 meters, to be $8,100 .00 . Approximately half of that cost will be the cost to extend the line along Stirling Road and the other half would be for extending the line along Bryan Road. Therefore, he recommends that the city pay for one half of the cost and Fleet pay for the other ® half . Mr.Walden stated that he has had one or two talks with Mr. Jackson and got the impression that Fleet would be willing to pay for the entire cost if they had to on the condition that they would have control of the line. "I do not recommend that you relinquish control of the line to any private owner. I -think that the City should retain control, and you also should have the right to service other ® customers from the line if you want to in the future. " He continued that Mr. Jackson feels that if he has to pay for the full cost he ought to have control over who can be allowed to hook into the line. Commissioner Brice, as Chairman of the Utilities Committee, stated that his recommendation is similar to what the Engineer has recommended, that ® the line be extended from the corner of the Callahan property to where it crosses the canal, at the cost of the city; and that Fleet trans- port pick it up fromc:that point and pay for the extension from where the city property ends. He stated that he is recommending they cross the canal on the South side of Stirling Road in case the city should ever do anything with that piece of property that they own on the West 6 side of the Canal. City Attorney Walden again advised that the city obtain easements from Fleet to lay this line, so that the city can be in complete control of that line. "In other words, you may have a change of picture years from now, and for example, Pompanette may want to come ® into the city. And in order to get them into the city you have got to furnish them water. And if you don't have an easement and a line to get it there, then you are not going to be able to talk to them." Mr. Jackson stated that he has given a 6 foot easement to lay the line. City Attorney Walden: Well, what I suggest then, is that the City agrees to pay the cost of this, if this is what we have in mind, to run it to the Southwest corner of the property there, that is right on the other side of the canal. And that you agree to pay the re- maining cost to cross Stirling Road and run it into your property. And that you give the easement to your property, and that we have an agreement that if we let others connect to the line that we in some formula will reimburse you for your pro-rata share of it. A motion was made by Commisti.oner Brice to draw up an agreement as outlined in the discussion. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kelly, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: 6 Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes WELL SITES: City Attorney Walden stated that, in connection with the water situ- ation, several months ago Commissioner Brice asked him to do some work towards getting some well sites. John Farina has been working ® with the school board; however he has no formal authorization from the City to negotiate. Co�amissioner Brice agreed that the City should try to secure an ease- ment at the corner of the school property for a well that would pro- -4- duce approximately 500 gallons per minute as a suppliment until such time as the United States Geographical Survey could pinpoint a loca- tion for a sweet-water well field for the future. They have told us that it would take from 8 to 12 months, and they were willing to put out test wells to show their geographical survey, and then tell us where we could put a sweet-water Welllthat would supply the city with water for 20 years. A motion was made by Commissioner Brice to issue a Work Order to John Farina to seek a new water well site. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kelly, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes CITY MANAGERTS REPORT: (1) City Manager Goldberg presented a bill for $500.00 for the annual dues for the Florida League of Municipalities. Mayor Marant stated that he submitted this bill at the last meeting, and it was the desire of the Commission to hold that bill for a while. No action. W (2) City Manager Goldberg reported that, in regards to the roofing of the 0ld Da*tia Bank Building, Mr. Glover has submitted a proposal of $428.25 plus 30% of the material cost in addition to this.
