Mr. Croft moved that said funds be transferred from the Contingency

being seconded by Mr. Saunders.
Mr. Croft said this beautification project had been approved in
February,.and requested that the City Manager, see that this work is
done between the F.E.C. Railway and East 5th Avenue. Also, in addition
to phase one of said project that the CounCil approved, the merchants
between 5th and 6th AVenues have also requested some beautif~cation in
their area; further, that 'the merchants will pay for the materials in-
volved in said project.
Upon call of roll that said funds be transferred, the motion carried
unanimously.
6.b. City Clerk Worthing reminded the Council of a proposal sent to
them, making availabIe for purchase by the City a tract of land adJa.
cent to and north of the Beach Fire Station property, lying between
Ocean Boulevard and Andrews Avenue and containing approximately 43,625
square feet~ further, that it is recommended this offer be referred to
the Traffic and Parking Committee for review and recommendation, to be
forwarded to the capital Improvement Committee.
It was so moved by Mr. Saunders, seconded by Mr. Jurney, and unani-
mously carried.
6.c. The City Clerk informed the Council as fo110ws:
"The-Florida Power & Light CompanY desires to remodel and extend
its present sub-station building on S. E. 10th Street, which
will require abandonment of their present septic tank installa-
tion, and the Company requests sewer set.vice.
The property lies east of the F.E.C. Railroad right-of-way and
on the north side of 10th Street. Estimated cost for providing
this service from the existing nearest manhole is $2,000.
Authorization is requested for extending such service and for
transfer of necessary funds from the Water and sewer Contingency
Account (915-858-800) to Mains & Lines (915-460-640) to cover
actual determined cost upon completion thereof."
Mayor Avery asked City Engineer Fleming for an exact description of
where said sewer line would go, and the feasibility of picking up the
customers enroute to the manhole, and City Engineer Fleming answered
as follows: "The proposal which Mr. Wo=thing gave .you, and this only
came to my attention this afternoon, was to ex~end the line from the
existing manhole on S. E. 2nd Avenue, which is about 100 feet north of
the intersection of 9th Street. It was proposed to extend this line
due southward On S. E. 2nd Avenue to 10th Street and then west on 10th
Street to a point almost to the right-of-way of the railroad, at which
point the ~lorida Power & Light people have their 'septic tank at pre-
sent. By following that route the line would pass a number of vacant
-2- 7-26-69
'213
lots in the block between S. E. 10th and 9th Streets, immediately west
of 2nd Avenue. Those east of 2nd Avenue are already served. There is
also the possibility that property annexed south of 10th street may be
served by that line. Investigation indicates that it is not, accord-
ing to City policy, necessary to install this entire section at the
present time. The Florida Power & Light property being one unit of
property, in accordance with our policy, it is only necessary to bring
the connection to the property and the Florida power & Light people
must take it from that point. It is, therefore, possible to extend
the line from the previously described manhole on S. E. 2nd Avenue
southward only 100 feet to the intersection of 9th street, thence
westerly about 200 feet to a manhole, and if the Council so desires,
then ~outh about 100 feet to provide a connection to the point where
the Florida Power a Light people will require one connection. They
require two connections in this case, and this will give them a
connection to the closest one. The estimated cost of that construc-
tion would be in the vicinity of $1,300.O0. I recommend the less'er
expenditure at this time, due to the fact that I dontt believe the
vacant lots will produce revenue for so~e time to come. The cost of
material is only $762.00 for this job."
Mr. Croft moved that the recommendation of the City Engineer for
the $1,300.00 expenditure be authorized, and the proper transfer of
funds from the water and Sewer Contingency Account to Mains and Lines
Account be made. The motion was seconded by Mr. saunders and carried

made to tie the entire school into the city sewer System.

Mr. Saunde~S moved to ~u~horize .Russell.& Axon to proceed w~th
that the plans may be ready if and when said work could be done. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Croft.
Mayor Avery said that Section 20 is supposed to be a high income
pro~ucing eecticn~ also, it ~ay be possible to install Section 20 under
the present f~nancing of additional sewer sections.
Mr. Croft asked the amount of time it would take to produce said
design plans and construction specifications, and Mr. Daniel ~eff of
Russell & Axon said he thought it would take approximately two months
time.
Upon call of roll on the motion that Russell and Axon proceed with
plans and specifications concerning Section 20, the motion carried
unanimously°

seconded by Mr° Saunders and unanimously carried.

Mr. Cro~ eXPlaine
that.area as the widening of West Atlantic Avenue would .not be com-

said paving.
Mr. saunders questioned that such a Parking lot would help the
merchants in that area.

of a parking lot on the north 60 feet of Block 37, be'authorized, and
that funds to cover same be transferred from the Contingency Account
