Morse, Sup't. Sheldon, Inspector Snyder and Chief of Police Tyndal.

The minutes of the regular meeting held September 1, 1959
were read and approved.
Mr. Fred Tanner, of the Lake County Health Department,
advised the Council that the pit being used for garbage disposal,
located between Clermont and Groveland, would have to be closed
and that unless a new site could be located, the problem of gar-
bage disposal would be turned back to the individual municipalities
Mr. Tanner further advised that, to-date, the Health Department
had been unable to locate a satisfactory site. Chr. Roe advised
Mr. Tanner that he would contact Mr. Cowart and Mr. Bishop, County
Commissioners for the districts interested, and endeavor to pro-
cure a suitable site immediately. Upon being asked at what date
the Health Department contemplated returning equipment to West
Lake to complete the job already started, Mr. Tanner advised that,
in his opinion, such operations would start not later than six
weeks from this date.
Mr. Roe Pickard, representing the Clermont-Minneola Dad's
Club, asked the Council for verification on their ruling on the
zoning and existing ordinances as to whether or not the operation
of a lunch wagon adjacent to the local high school would be allo-
wed. Mr. Pickard was advised that under present zoning, such
operation was prohibited.
Mayor Hullinger invited the Council to inspect the Police
Department headquarters since re-decorating. Mayor Hullinger
advised the Council that Mr. Thomas Miller, an applicant for
the vacancy on the Police Department, was present and that he
would like to introduce him to the Council. Upon recommendation
of Mayor Hullinger and Chief of Police,Tyndal, motion was made
by Mr. Oswalt, seconded by Mr. Boyd and carried, that Chief
Tyndal be authorized to engage Mr. Miller as a patrolman of the
Police Department for'a probationary period of six months at a
salary of $275.00 per month. Mayor Hullinger advised the Council
that the State Road Department had not submitted their report of
the traffic count on Highway # 50, as yet.
Chief Tyndal called the Council's attention to numerous
blind street corners throughout the City caused by overgrown
shrubbery and asked for suggestions as to how they might be eli-
minated. Mr~ Oswalt suggested that the City Clerk advise the
owners of the properties in question that this situation must be
remedied within a stated time or that the City crews would remove
the shrubs. Clerk Johnson suggested that, in his opinion, it
would be better for Chief Tyndal to advise the property owners
in person that certain shrubbery should be removed in order that
he might show them exactly what the Council desired. Chr. Roe
requested that Chief Tyndal and Clerk Johnson cooperate in this
matter and work out the best method in which to handle this situ-
ation.
Chief Tyndal stated that the cross-walks located at the
local high school needed'Te~pai.nting. Mr. Boyd suggested that
such cross-walks be painted a contrasting color. Chr. Roe stated
that the parking lanes in the down-town section were also badly
in need of re-painting and Sup't. Sheldon was directed to take
care of both matters.
Chr. Roe agreed to contact Mr. Richey Green of the State
Road Department, with regards to water control at the intersection
of Highways # 27 and 50, and, also to determine whether or not
old State Road # 561 through Clermont is to be re-surfaced.

Chamber of Commerce that in order for the City to bear expenses
of lifeguards next summer, it would be necessary for the Jaycees

Clerk Johnson read a letter from the Honorable Judge J.K.TryoD
wherein Judge Tryon stated that City Attorney Morse had advised
him sometime ago that he would request an increase in salary for
the office of Municipal Judge as well as setting up other Court
appropriation items. Judge Tryon further stated that he had been
invited to attend a convention of Municipal Judges Association in
Pensacola next month, and that before making any definite plans
concerning this matter, he desired to know what action the Council
had taken on Mr. Morse's request. Clerk Johnson was requested to
advise Judge Tryon that City Attorney Morse liad failed to make any
requests or recommendations as outlined in his letter; that the
budget submitted by the Police Department and recommended by the
Mayor and therefore accepted by the Council, did not call for an
increase in salary or additional court appropriations. The Council
wishes to advise Judge Tryon that they are sorry for any misunder-
standings in this matter, but that the budget has already been
adopted and therefore nothing can be done about the matter this yr.
