Commissioner Hill asked if Mr. Philpott has the specifications ready for the advertising of bids for street paving. City Manager Salvino stated that he was meeting with Mr. Philpott on Wednesday, and there was a drainage proplem that has to be solved on Old Dixie Highway. Mr. Philpott was working on the 40 specifications for paving street ends, but we have to find some way to drain Old Dixie before he can complete it. He suggested they check into some right-of-way for drainage. E Commissioner Young stated that, as far as he could see, there were only two possibilities; since this would be a State Road Project, perhaps they would allow the drainage to tie into their existing storm sewer drainage on 16th Street; or Catch Basins. City Manager Salvino suggested that they might also raise the +' elevation of Old Dixie from the Railroad Track going East, and leave swales from there to Federal Highway. He stated that Mr. Philpott will be here Wednesday morning, and they would try to work something out. 7. There being no further business on the agenda, the meeting adjourned.
