Mayor Smith announced the purpose of the meeting was to consider and take action
on engaging one of the several firms specializing in water and sanitary sewer
engineering, which Council has been interviewing over the past several days.
City Manager Hopkins reported the applicants interviewed had been representative
of firms doing business nationwide, statewide, locally and all well qualified,
but that it would be his recommendation that the medium sized Orlando based firm
of Dawkins and Associates, Inc. be engaged. Council was in agreement with this
recommendation, whereupon motion was made by Councilman Beals, seconded by
Councilman Byrd and unanimously carried that the City Manager be authorized to
execute the proposal for engineering services as submitted by Dawkins & Associates,
Inc.
It was consensus of Council that Councilman Smoak contact representatives of the
Blessed Sacrament Church with regards possible temporary use of their grove property
lying south of the treatment plant site for the city's spray irrigation project,
and that City Manager Hopkins present the city's offer to purchase that property
owned by Peter H. Johnson in Johnson's Replat as soon as possible.
The meeting was adjourned by Mayor Smith.
