Mr. William W. Boyd appeared before the Council and offered to deed
Nita Place, a private drive, to the City in exchange for having the
sewer assessments waived on 4 Lots which abut Nita Place. Motion
was made by Councilman Oswalt, seconded by Councilman VanderMeer and
carried that the offer of Mr. Boyd be declined.
Mr. Irving Morse, Attorney representing Fred L. Wolfe, submitted an
objection to the proposed special assessment against property described
as: 150' frontage on Highway 50 W of E. Scott Street. There was no
action taken on this matter pending investigation by the Engineers.
Mr. Bernard McCabe, representing the Lake County Board of Public
Instruction, inquired of Council as follows: Were they aware that the
present school system had suitable treatment plants already in operation
serving the schools, and he was advised by Mayor Smith in the affirma-
tive. Were they aware that the proposed assessments on property being
used only for playfields were larger than those on properties on which
the actual schools stand, and Mayor Smith advised that the assessments
are based on front footage of property as platted, or in the case of
irregular shaped lots, based on a median average, and not based on
structures or buildings which might be located on the property.
City Clerk Carroll presented a letter from Mr. David Gluckman, Attorney
for Gus Reis, wherein he restated previous objections to the sewage
assessment as he felt a sanitary sewer line would be of no benefit
to the citrus groves owned by Mr. Reis. Mayor Smith advised that this
objection had been considered at the Recessed Hearing held on August
26th at which time it was consensus of Council that the assessment stand.
Mayor Smith inquired if there be anyone else present who desire to
appear before the Council with regards sewer assessments, and there
being none, he adjourned the meeting.
