We have the clay base in place for our Pitt Street sidewalk and will seal the surface as soon as it is sufficiently dry. some playground equipment is being installed in the Lincoln Park "Tot Lot" and it will be fenced in the near future. The recent heavy rains have caused some damage to our streets and considerable patching and repairs have, -ind are,necessary. Such repairs will include the sand sealing of West Avenue from Highway 50 to Desoto Street. Mayor Boykin of Minneola has requested that we consider including the Minneola Police Department on our radio wave length. They are presently connected with the Sheriff's Department. Including Minneola will not increase the expense of our operation and will increase police office work very little. However, it will definitely be of value to Minneola and they should pay us for the service, which they expect to do. It is quite difficult to determine a fair fee for this service but in my opinion it!00uld )e between $25.00 and $50.00 monthly. I have made further investigation and find that the price quoted me for rebuilding our shuffle board courts and alleys is in line with such costs in other areas. I have made tentative arrangements to have the work done now with payment due after November lst. Inasmuch as Nidy Constructbn is the only firm in this area doing this type of work I need your authorization to have the work done without competitive bidding. esp tfu J!" 1.
