The Minutes of the Meeting hold September 16, 1975 were approved. Inasmuch as notes recorded of council meetings were subject to revision, additions and/or deletions, and were not official records of the city until approved by Council at the following meeting, Mayor Smoak inquired of Council if it might be in the best interest to restrict publication of such notes until such time as they are official. Though all council meetings are open to the general public and any interested person encouraged to attend, it was final consensus of Council that it would be unfair to withhold information of council meetings to the general public via publication for such length of time between meetings. Mayor Smoak announced the first order of business to be for City Council, sitting as the Housing Board of Adjustments and Appeal, to consider an appeal by Mrs. Margie Bedsole for an extension of time in which to eliminate existing violations to the Housing Code, as notified by the Building Official, on her property located at 872 Minneola Avenue. Upon inquiry of Mayor Smoak, there was no one present who voiced objection to the request from the floor, whereupon motion was made by Councilman seconded by Councilman Schroedel and carried that a -extension of 60 ays from this date be grante . Mayor Smoak announced the next order of business to be a public hearing to consider re -zoning of the property annexed to the city in 1972 located east of Highway H27 and south from State Road #50 to the southern city limits, not previously re -zoned from requests of property owners, from the existing R1A zoning to C-2 and M-1 zoning, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission following public hearing on the matter held by them. Upon inquiry of Mayor Smoak, there was no one present from the floor who voiced objected to the request, whereupon motion was made by Councilman Oswalt, seconded by Councilman Byrd and carried that the recommendation of the P&Z Commission be accepted and the City Attorney be instructed to Prepare the necessary City Manager Hopkins submitted his report, both orally and written, and a copy is attached hereto. With regards recommendation of City Manager Hopkins that Dawkins & Associates, Inc. be authorized to perform certain additional work on the proposed sanitary sewer system for Minnehaha Estates and thereupon be able to represent the city in their assessment bond validation hearing to be held on November 4th, and at an estimated cost for such work in the amount of $1,000.00, motion was made by Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilman Oswalt and carried, that this recommendation be accepted. With regards recommendation of the City Manager that a Special Meeting of Council be called in order to consider bids for the city's insurance needs following the bid deadline date of 2:00 P.

Jones for use of city owned property on the east shore of Lake Winona adjacent to his rosidence on Lake Shore Drive to construct a boathouse and dock. Councilman Blackburn reiterated his previously stated opinion wherein he felt such action to be inequitable, not only to the persons who have requested lease/easement renewals and on which Council has taken no action, but to all property owners in the city with regards any city owned property, be it a portion of street right-o-way or not, and thereby could not support such action by Council in any way. Councilman Blackburn further opined that the fee of $1.00 per year as contained in the lease was far less than an adequate monetary consideration as had been previously recommended by the City Attorney.

Mayor Smoak advised that he would like to clarify the position that he has taken regarding the South Lake Neighborhood Center: That an item had been included in the budget for the South Lake Neighborhood Center in the amount of $300.00; That he felt the volunteer help at the Center does a very admirable job and a needed job in an area of the city, but that it was his personal philosophy that we have too much welfare money in this country;That he felt it was a bad precedent to set for a local municipal government to become involved in direct welfare programs, and he consequently would vote in opposition to the motion if the $300.00 item for the Center remains in the budget. Mayor Smoak further advised that he was not convinced that the item included in this budget for a dump truck is a good capital investment item for the city to make and would therefore prefer that this item be removed and the allocation placed in the contingency fund of the appropriate department. Councilman Byrd advised that he would vote in support of the motion, but he would recommend to the City Manager that the matter of the dump truck be kept in mind and when the final decision is made to buy or whether not to buy, that the comments of the Mayor weigh upon his decision. It was the opinion of City Manager Hopkins that the matter should be resolved this night as to whether or not the dump truck item remains in the budget; That he felt it was a reasonable request in view of the age of the dump truck proposed to be replaced, and that estimated costs in the amount of $2300 were obtained to repair it in sufficient condition for use. The Ordinance was read for a second and final reading by City Clerk Carroll, by title only, and upon roll call vote on passage of the motion, the result was: Ayes: Blackburn, Schroedel, Byrd, and Oswalt. Total Ayes: Four. Nayes: Smoak. So the Ordinance was adopted and the number 79-M assigned to it.

Carroll, City ter CITY MANAGER'S REPORT 23 September 1975 BOND VALIDATION Robert Vason has advised that he has received the necessary papers for the bond validation from Tom Slade and will file for the validation. In order to present the city's assessment bond case, he further advised that the city must have an engineer who can review the assessment plat to determine if any instances exist wherein the assessment exceeds the benefit derived and to determine if the front footage rule is the appropriate rule from an engineering standpoint and so testify. At the present time the city does not have an engineer who has been authorized to represent the city in the bond validation proceedings. Regarding the assessments, Dawkins and Associates can testify as to the project's estimated costs, but is not in a position to comment on the assessment/benefit relation- ship or the method of assessment. In addition, a new assessment plat must be drawn, a copy of which can be certified to the court. In order to satisfy the legal requirements, the city must be in a position to testify on the two engineering points. Therefore, it is recommended that Dawkins & Associates be engaged to make the necessary review, plat preparation and provide testimony. The FmHA agreement provides for such an arrangement. The estimated cost of this work - review, new assessment plat and testimony - is $1,000.00. INSURANCE BIDS The bids on the city's insurance will be received at City Hall until 2 P. M. on Thursday, September 25, 1975.at which time they will be opened and read aloud. The bids will be reviewed and a recommendation for acceptance will be formulated.
