to hold an auction on November 22, 1986 to raise money for the teen
center and other activities. He stated that Council Members were

on Saturday, October 25, 1986 and urged everyone to support this
activity. City Manager Saunders asked if anyone objected to donating
the remaining Centennial Plates to the auction? It was the consensus
of Council to donate the plates to the library.
ABANDONED RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY
City Manager Saunders explained that the City's last offer to CSX
Systems was for $122,500 for all of the right-of-way, excluding the
section from East Avenue to the Minneola City Limits, the American
Aluminum Section and the McCaffrey parcel.
CSX Systems countered by offering to sell the right-of-way for
$122,500 excluding those parcels mentioned in the City's offer and
excluding the Bell Ceramics and the CBS sections, as well as a small
triangular segment adjacent to the depot. A map was presented by
the City Manager for viewing, and he explained that the CBS section
was important, not only for the proposed sewer interceptor line, but
also for possible future expansion of the City Garage and access to
the residential lots to the west. The Bell Ceramics section is
needed mainly for the sewer line and they have indicated their deal
with CSX would include an easement for this line.
Mr. Wolfe spoke concerning his desire to purchase the section adjacent
to Clermont Builders' Supply. It was the consensus of Council that
some sort of parking agreement with CBS cO,uld possibly be worked out
