SPECIAL MEETING
A special meeting of the City Council ~f the City of Clermont
was held in the office of the City Clerk on Friday, March 27, 196~.
The meeting was called to order at 5:30 P. M. by Mayor Joseph
BonJorn with all Councilmen present. City Clerk Johnson was also present.
Mayor BonJorn stated that the purpose of the meeting was to consider
sealed bids for the sale of Lots 9 and 10 .and fractional Lot 8, Block
125A, Sunset Park, presently owned by the City of Clermont.
City Clerk Johnson opened bids which were as follows: Fred L.
Wolfe, $3200.00; Martin Winther, $3000.00 and South Lake County Develop-
ment Corp., $3500.00. Bids were contingent upon the city filling in
the washed out ditch across the property and extending the storm drainage
from Linton Court to Sunset Lake. The bid from South Lake County
Development Corp. was further contingent upon their client being able
to obtain the desired building permit.
Motion was made by Mr. Hoskinson, seconded by Mr. Pool that the
high bid of $3500.00 submitted by South Lake County Development Corporation
be accepted and that the purchaser be assured that a building permit
may be obtained as provided for in the Zoning Ordinance. The motion
carried with Mr. Turville voting Nay.
Mr. Turville was of the opinion that the offer was too low and
that furthermore the members of the Council had tentatively agreed that
they would not accept less than $5000.00 for the property. Other members
were of the opinion that the property was not worth $5000.00; that the
City should dispose of unneeded property and that new building and
business should be encouraged when possible.
Motion by Mr. Hutchingson, seconded by Mr. Hoskinson, and carried,
that meetillg adjourn.
