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 There was no second to this motion and after considerable discussion the motion was withdrawn and it was decided that the matter be referred to the Dad's Club and the City Parks Committee with authority to engage a Director or Directors within the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, that the City Clerk issue a work order to Superintendent Sheldon for the removal of the curbing and the paving of this area when the materials are available. 2 ~ ~ 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. ~ .,., Mr. Turville presented a resolution pertaining to the levying of special assessments for the paving of Scott Street and moved its adoption. The reolution was read by the Clerk and Mr. Boyd seconded its adoption. When the vote was taken on the adoption of the resolution the result was If Yeas" York, Turville, Bishop, Boyd and Pool.
