Roll call showed: Present - Commissioner Patricia Archer Commissioner David Randolph Commissioner David Schmidt Commissioner Bill Schwartz Mayor Jay Alperin Absent - None Also present were City Manager David T. Harden and City Attorney Susan A. Ruby. Mayor Alperin called the special meeting to order and announced that it had been called for the purpose of considering the following item: (1) Consider a Salvage Agreement: The City Manager stated that the Mayor, the City Attorney and he had met with a gentleman who believes that there are some items of value located on City property east of the Intracoastal Waterway. If in the process of recovery, material of significant archeological value is found, he will bring in an archeologist. The gentleman did a boring at a location on Tuesday (March 21s~ and came up with enough so that he wants to go ahead and dig. This Exploration and Salvage Agreement would authorize him to do that. He would retain ten percent of the value of whatever he finds, and the City would receive 90 percent. Upon question from Mr. Schmidt, the City Manager stated that he felt the cost for security would be minimal. He had discussed it with the Police Chief who would have one officer in the vicinity who would be directing traffic, and that would be it until we get to the point where we see if there is really anything of significant value there. We would probably just take somebody who is on duty and assign them there for two or three hours until we see whether we have anything or not. The gentleman believes he can get it out in one day. What he has located so far is at a depth of five or six feet. If he gets into that and there is more below it, it might take longer. Mrs. Archer moved to approve the Exploration and Salvage Agreement, with Exhibit "A" as explained by the City Manager. The motion was seconded by Mr. Schwartz. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Schmidt - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Schwartz - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Alperin - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
