SPECIAL MEETING
NO 875
A Special Meeting of the City Council of the City of Clermont was held in the
office of the City Manager on Friday, January 26, 1973. The meeting was called to
order at 4:30 P.M. by Mayor Don E. Smith with the following members present:
Councilmen Smoak, Beals, Schroede1 and Byrd. Other officials present were: City
Manager Hopkins, City Clerk Carroll, Director of Public Utilities Asbury, Director
of Community Services Smythe, City Attorney Langley and Associate Counsel Vason.
Mayor Smith announced the purpose of the meeting was to consider and/or take action
on certain aspects pertaining to the sanitary sewer system.
City Manager Hopkins reported that Art George, local realtor, had advised that he
would be unable to make an appraisal of the Peter H. Johnson property as had been
requested. It was the suggestion of Mayor Smith that more than one appraisal be
obtained, whereupon motion was made by Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilman
Schroede1~and carried that the City Manager and Mayor Smith be authorized to engage
two local appraisers of their choice to appraise the property, and that expenditures
be authorized up to $200.00 for this.
With regards the pump, motor and equipment owned by Councilman Smoak and being
used by the city for temporary spray irrigation purposes, Councilman Smoak advised
that he would prefer that other arrangements be made in order to free his equipment,
but that until this was accomplished, he would furnish his equipment at a maintenance
cost of $6.00 per hour on the pump and motor.
It was consensus of Council that work be started as soon as possible on the installation
of pvc pipe and the city owned electric motor for the spray irrigation.
With regards the pending condemnation suits, City Attorney Langley reported there
were only two remaining which had not been settled, and, that he was in receipt
of an offer from their attorney, Mr. Irving F. Morse, which he found to be acceptable
and probably at less cost than if necessary to proceed in court. He itemized the
