REGULAR 41EETING
A Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Clermont was held
in the Council Chambers on Tuesday, April 27, 1971. The meeting was
called to order at 7:30 P. H. by Hayor Pro -Tam Cochran with the following
members present: Councilwoman Watson and Councilmen Vanderfleer and
Beals. Other officials present were: City Controller Fleming, City
Clerk Carroll and Chief of Police Tynda1. Others present were: Mrs.
Betty Thomas and the Messrs. Henry Czech, E. L. Schumann, Aaron Powell
and George E. Hovis. Representatives of the local Press were also
present.
The Invocation was given by Councilman Vanderileer.
The following addition and correction was made to the Minutes of the
Regular Meeting held on April 13, 1971.
Addition - Immediately following the appointment of Colonel
Richard Waters to the office of Second Municipal Judge,
the Oath of Office was administered to Colonel Waters
by Mayor Smith.
Correction to Paragraph 6 of Page 3 -
Motion was made by Councilman Beals, seconded by
Councilman Cochran and carried that the City Manager
be authorized to prepare specifications and advertise
for bids on a 1971 vehicle, the type of vehicle to be
his choice for whatever he deemed necessary for the job
in which it would be used.
The Minutes were then approved as corrected.
Mayor Pro-Tem Cochran advised the next item on the meeting Agenda was
for the Council to sit as a Board of Adjustment to consider the petition
of Southern Signs for a variance, however, inasmuch as the Mayor - the
City Manager and the City Attorney were not present, and also because
he was of the opinion Council had made some changes regarding signs at
the time the Zoning Ordinance was being revised, he would entertain a
motion that this matter be tabled until further investigation had been
made. Motion was made by Councilman Beals, seconded by Councilman
VanderMeer and carried that this matter be tabled.
Mr. Aaron Powell of 1224 Grand Highway appeared before the Council and
requested that action be taken toward eliminating what he considered
to be unsanitary conditions existing at a residence on Grand Highway
next door to rental property which he owns, that pigeons were being kept
in pens at this residence which was in violation of existing City Ordinances;
that the resident in question had been summoned to City Court and charged
by the City with violating Article I, Section 4-10 of the City Code,
but that the Judge had dismissed the case. It was consensus of Council
and so ordered by Mayor Pro-Tem Cochran, that this matter be referred
to the City Manager for full investigation and report back to the Council.
Councilman Cochran submitted the following remarks to Council for their
thought and consideration: That each year a portion of the city tax
millage is allocated to the Chamber of Commerce and that in addition
to this the city pays one-half the annual salary of the Chamber Secretary
and furnished an office with utilities for the Chamber; That of the
eleven members of the Official Board of the Chamber of Commerce, five
members are not registered City of Clermont voters and four members do
not reside in the City; That he recently noted an expenditure of the
MINUTES NQ 732
Chamber in excess of t'3900,00 which was not let for bids; That City
Council required bids for expenditures of such amounts; That he felt the
Chamber of Commerce was doing a good job, but that he questioned the
advisability of the Chamber using city tax monies for expenditures of
such amounts without asking for bids.
Councilman VanderMeer remarked to Council that he wished to pursue the
matter of constructing some type of covered pavilion at the Jaycee
Beach, and that the City Manager had been requested to obtain plans
and a cost estimate for such for presentation to the Council.
City Clerk Carroll read communications as follows: From the Planning
and Zoning Commission wherein they announced a meeting of the Commission
to be held in the Council Chambers on Tuesday, May 4, 1971 at 7:30
P. 14. and invited and urged Council members to attend; From J. K.
Tryon wherein he expressed appreciation to the Council for the recently
adopted Resolution of Commendation to him for his service as Municipal
Judge.
Motion was made by Councilman VanderMeer, seconded by Councilwoman
Watson and carried that an Easement on lakefront property described as:
All lands lying South of Lake Drive, North of the low water mark of
Lake Minnehaha and between the extended East and West boundaries
of the East 86 feet of Lot 15 and the West 10 feet of Lot 16, Clermont.
Heights be granted to Mr. Del Kohn of 1728 Bowman Street for a period
of ten years.
Councilman VanderMeer offered and moved the adoption of AN ORDINANCE
UNDER THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF CLERMONT, LAKE COUNTY,
FLORIDA, CLOSING A PORTION OF AN UNNAMED STREET, PARTIALLY SURROUNDING
LAKE WINONA, ALL ACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF CLERMONT

read in full by Councilman VanderMeer for a second and final reading.
Upon roll call vote on adoption of the Ordinance, the result was: Ayes:
VanderMeer, Cochran, Watson and Beals. Total Ayes: Four. Nayes: None.
Absent: Smith. So the ORDINANCE was adopted, the Number 3241 assigned
to it and a copy ordered posted.
City Manager Hopkins had presented in writing to the Council the results
of Bid Invitations on a 1971 Four Door Sedan which were as follows:
Bob Wade Ford @ $3256.83; John Lamb Chevrolet @ $3493.53. Mr. Hopkins'
