Mr. Pool, Chairman of the Parks Committee, reported that
work was continuing at the City ball park and that the boat ramp
at the Jaycee Beach was practically completed. Mr. Pool reported
that his committee recommended and that he, therefore, moved
that Mr. Tom Kelly be engaged at a salary of $300 and l'lr. Jack
Gaines be engaged at a salary of $600 to serve as Recreational
Directors of the Summer Program; Mr. Kelly to be in charge of
the Little League and Mr. Gaines to be in charge of soft ball
and the Babe Ruth League. There was no second to this motion
and after considerable discussion the motion was withdrawn
and it was decided that the matter be referred to the Dad's Club
and the City Parks Committee with authority to engage a Director
or Directors within the salary limit of $900, as established
in the budget.
The matter of engaging a Life Guard to serve at the Jaycee
Beach this summer was discussed and applications for this position
from Mr. John Cavanaugh and Buddy Bumbalough were considered.
Motion was made by Mr. Turville, seconded by Mr. Pool, and
carried, that the Clerk write Mr. John Cavanaugh and request
several references. Motion was made by Mr. Turville, seconded
by Mr. Pool, and carried, that the Clerk advertise in the local
newspaper that the City was accepting applications for the
position of Life Guard at the Jaycee Beach this summer, that
the Life Guard's dutities would begin on June 3, 1961 and con-
tinue through Labor Day, that he would be expected to be on duty
six hours a day, seven days a week, and that the rate of pay
would be $6.45 per day.
Mr. Pool brought up the matter of the need for additional parking
in the gicinity of the ball park and suggested that the islands
in the center of East Avenue be removed and the area paved to pro- .
vide such parking. It was brought to the attention of the Council
that funds were not available for such paving at this time.
Motion was made by Mr. Turville, seconded by Mr. Pool, and carried,

Mr. Boyd, Chairman of the Water Committee, reported that
he expected to have additional engineering reports pertaining
to the water problem within the next few days.
Clerk Johnson read a copy of a proposed agreement between
the Lake County Board of Commissioners and the City of Clermont
whereby the City of Clermont would be allowed the use of the
old clay pit lying north of Minneola for garbage disposal. This
matter was referred to the Sanitation Committee for consideration
and recommendation.
..
Clerk Johnson read a letter from the Christian Science
Society wherein they requested that the City widen the pavement
on Minneola Avenue in front of their property in order to provide
additional parking space. Clerk Johnson was requested to advise
the Christian Science Society that it has not been the policy
of the City to provide parking facilities for religious organiza-
tions and that if the Christian Science Society decided that
the pavement along Minneola Avenue should be widened that it
would have to be done at their expense.
Clerk Johnson read letters from the Elliott Construction
Company and Florida Towers pertaining to the possible improvement
of the view along Highway 27. Clerk Johnson was requested to
reply to both letters.
Motion was made by Mr. Turville, seconded by Mr. Boyd, and
carried, that the Clerk be authorized to cancel deposits for
water, taxes and other such accounts that are inactive and which
have been carried on the books in excess of 15 years.
Chairman Bishop arrived at this time.
Clerk Johnson advised the Council that Mr. Ralph Roane of
Towers Chemical Corporation had made a contribution of l~ tons of
gypsum to the city for use in Center Lake and that he had already
extended the thanks of the City officials to Mr. Roane.
Clerk Johnson advised the Council that the question of
whether or not a professional office was allowed in a duplex had
arisen and that it was necessary that the Council make a ruling
on the matter. The Council ruled that professional offices
are allowed in a duplex provided that the area used for such
office does not exceed 25% of the area of the total building.
City Attorney Morse read a letter from our insurance company
calling the Council's attention to the fact that under the terms
of agreement between the City of Clermont and the Clermont
Welfare League the City could be included in a suit against the
hospital for malpractice. It was further brought out that the
City does not carry liability insurance for this purpose and
that due to the fact that they have no supervision over the
operation of the hospital they could not secure such insurance.
City Attorney Morse recommended that the City deed that property
now occupied by the South Lake Memorial Hospital to the Clermont
Welfare League in order that the possibility of a damage suit
would be eliminated. Mr. Bishop called the Council's attention
to the fact that the hospital Board was now in the process of
forming a non profit corporation of the hospital and suggested
'that the deeding of the property be deferred for a few weeks.
Motion was made by Turville, seconded by Mr. Pool, and carried,
that'~the City Clerk notify the Chairman of the South Lake Memorial
Hospital Board that, due to the reasons previously stated, it
is the intention of the city to deed that property occupied by
the hospital to the Clermont Welfare League, or such other group
as the hospital board may designate, within a few weeks, and
that the hospital board be urged to conclude the formation of
their corporation as soon as possible.
Clerk Johnson explained an increased insurance coverage
- 3 -
proposal to the Council, but suggested that the matter be
tabled until such time as the new budget is prepared, as
funds were not available for such increased insurance at this
time.
