Mr. Kelly appeared before the Council with regards the use of the ball park on East Avenue bY,the Little League and the Babe Ruth League. Mr. Kelly called to the attention of the Council, the fact that certain repairs on the grandstand would be necessary before it would pass inspection by in- surance inspectors. Mr. Kelly was advised that the ball park in question would be available for use as per his re- quest; that the dirt now piled on the outfield would be re- moved and that the grandstand wo~ld either be repaired or a section of portable bleachers would be moved from the school athletic field and re-located at the ball park. Mayor BonJorn stated that he had no report to make, but, that it was his understanding that the old city hall was to be painted and it was his recommendation that the matter be taken care of as soon as possible. Mr. Roe requested Ins- pector Snyder to draw up the necessary specifications for submitting to contractors for bids. Mr. Roe, Chr. of the Water Committee, stated he had held an interview with Mr. Fishback, engineer, with regards local water supply and that he expected to have a report and recommendations from Mr. Fishback at the next meeting. Mr. Roe brought to the attention of the Couacil the unpaid account of Mr. Elmer Jost, for water main installations in the Chain-o-Lakes SUbdivision, and, he stated that he had discussed the matter with Mr. Jost on two different occasions but that Hr.. Jost was still of the opinio. that the charge was excessive and should be adjusted or waived. After con- siderable discussion regarding the matter, it was unanimously agreed by the Council that the account in question was not excessive; that it was in terms with the original agreement with Mr. Jost as well as in accordance with existing Ordi- nances and therefore the account should be paid in full. Clerk Johnson was directed to advise Mr. Jost that no further water meter installations would be made in Chain-o-Lakes until the existing account was paid in its entirety, and, that in the future if additional water mains are necessary, an esti- mate of cost will be made and Mr.Jost will be advised of the amount and payment in advance will be necessary as set forth in the Water Ordinance. Sup't. Sheldon was requested to make a cost estimate of water meter installations, if they had been made in the manner in which Mr. Jost suggested they should have been made and deliver same to Mr. Roe for presentation to Mr. Jost. Mr. Roe reported that he and Sup't. Sheldon had made an inspection of the proposed right-o-way for widening :of 8th street in front of South Lake Memorial Hospital, and, had de- termined that it would be necessary to remove very little muck, and, that they were proceeding with filling as surp~us fill dirt was available. Chairman Middleton reported that the parking lot on 8th street and Minneola avenue would be completed in khe near future. Chairman Middleton stated that the Council meeting for February 16, 1960 had been set as the date for pUblic hearings on the closing of a fractional part of Broome street, and, that any person or persons having any objections would be heard at this time. Clerk Johnson read the notice, as advertised, in its entirety. Mr. Roe stated that inasmuch as there did not appear to be any objection to the closing of the street in question, that he would like to offer and move the adoption of an ORDINANCE FOREVER ABANDONING, ABOLISHING~ CLOSING AND VACATING FRACTIONAL PART OF BROOME STREET LYING WEST OF LINTON COURT AND EAST OF TWELFTH STREET, AS REPRE- SENTED ON THE OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF CLERMONT, LAKE COUNTY, FLORIDA; PROVIDING THAT ALL LANDS LYING WITHIN SAID FRACTIONAL BROOME STREET SHALL REVERT IN FEE SIMPLE TO AND BECOME THE PROPERTY OF THE OWNERS OF THE ADJACENT LANDS THERE TO; PROVIDING OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO; AND EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.
