Other officials present were: : Mayor BonJorn, Clerk Johnson, Deputy Clerk Carroll, City Attn'y. Morse, Sup't. Sheldon, Inspector Snyder and Chief of Police Tyndal. Others ~resent were: A delegation re~resenting the Clermont Mer- chants Association~ Mr. Preston Maynard, Mr. F.B.Innis, and a representative of the local Press. The minutes of the regular meeting held Tuesday - December 5, 1961, the special meeting held on Monday - December 11, 1961 and the adjourned meeting held on Thursday - December 14, 1961, were read and approved as read. Chairman Bishop stated that the first order of business was the hearing of any objections to the proposed permanent closing of the following described streets: ALMOND STREET, West of Bloxam Avenue and East of State Road 50; SCOTT and GOBLE STREETS, South of Highland Avenue and North of State Road 50. There being no objections, Chairman Bishop declared the Hearing closed. Jerry Egan, representing the Clermont Merchants Assoc., spoke to the Council thanking them for "bagging"the parking meters during the holiday shopping period, and, for the paving of the municipal parking lot, located between Vincent's 5~ to $1.00 Store and Dr.Cantwell's building. Councilman York entered the meeting at this time. Dick Harris, representing the Clermont Merchants Assoc., along with a delegation of the membership, presented the Council- with a petition from interested business houses requesting the immediate and permanent removal of all parking meters. Several members of the Merchants Association spoke in behalf of the pe- tition. During the diwcussion of this matter, it was brought to the attention of the delegation that the anticipated revenue from the parking meters had been taken into consideration in the pre- paration of this years budget, and their removal would therefore create a shortage in anticipated revenue. Motion was then made by Mr. Pool, seconded by Mr. Turville and carried, that the Council take the request made by the Merchants Association, under con- sideration. Mr. Harris thanked the Council for their consideration in the matter and requested that the Merchants Association be re- presented when final decision was made. Mr. Frank B. Innis, representing the Citrus Tower Restau- rant and Bar, requested permission from the Council for the bar to remain open on Sunday night, December 31st, from 9 P.M. to 12 Midnight. Mr. Innis was advised that local Ordinances prevented such permission. A discussion of the matter followed, and motion was made by Mr.Pool to dis-regard the existing ordinance and the request be granted. The motion died for lack of a second. Mr.Pool then moved that City Attn'y. Morse be instructed to prepare.an amendment to the existing ordinance whereby liquor bars would be permitted to remain open on Sundays and Holidays. The motion was seconded by Mr. Boyd and upon roll call vote the Ayes were: Pool, York and Boyd. Nayes: Turville and Bishop. The motion carried as made. -- Mr. Preston Maynard appeared before the Council with the following requests: That DeSoto Street be opened from its present termination through to Highway # 27. Mr. Maynard advised that the rough grading would be done at his expense, but that he was requesting that the City clay that part of the street in question. During the discussion which followed, City Attorney Morse advised the Council that it was his opinion that DeSoto Street had been closed at its intersection with Highway # 27 at the request of the State Road Department, and, that it would therefore be necessary to obtain their permission before opening the street. Motion was made by Mr. Turville, seconded by Mr. Boyd and carried, that City Attorney Morse de- termine whether or not the street had been permanently closed and if so, if the State Road Dep't. would grant permission for its opening, the Streets Committee be authorized to make whatever action they deem necessary upon the ruling of City Attn'y. Morse. -- That he had written a letter to the Council for their consideration at their Board of Equalization Meeting, calling their attention to the fact that the property owned by him on Montrose Street, adjacent to Attorney Morse's office, was valued by the City on their tax roll for $21,400.00, which was actually $6,400.00 more than the purchase price, and that he was therefore requesting a reduction. Mr. Maynard further advised, that the Board of Equalization had not made any reduction as re- quested, although a similiar request to Hunnicutt and Associates had been granted on the County tax roll, and in view of this action on the part of Hunnicutt and Associates, he felt that the City Council should make a reduction in the valuation on their tax roll in order that it would be more in line with the County valuation. Mr. Maynard was advised that inasmuch as the tax roll had been accept~d and certified by the City Council, no reductions in valuations could now be made, but that the matter would be re- ~ferred to Hunnicutt and Associates for their consideration and recommendation with regards to the 1962 tax roll. Police Chief Tyndal reported that he and Bldg. Inspector Snyder had made inspections, as requested by the Council, of pro- fessional offices and ants and crafts businesses, being operated in residential zones, to determine whether or not the floor area used for their office or business was in excess of 25% of the total, and that with the exception of two minor instances, no violations existed. Inspector Snyder asked for a ruling as to whether or not Fall-Out Shelters should be included on the Tax Roll for tax purposes. Motion was made by Mr. Turville, seconded by Mr. York and carried, whereby Fall-Out Shelters where used only for the specific purpose of protection, should not be taxed. Inspector Snyder advised the Council that Mr. P.C.Alexander had taken out a building permit for the donstruction of a resi- dence with the stipulation that the residence would be completed within ten months from date of permit; that while a fihal inspectio had not been requested, the ten months construction period of the permit had lapsed and that the house was now being offered for sale, and, that he would like a ruling as to whether or not this house should be included on the 1962 tax roll. Inspector Snyder was directed to make an inspection of the property, and have it placed on the tax roll. -- Motion was made by Mr.Turville that the proposed Ordinance pertaining to Boat Houses, Docks, etc. be read the second time by Title only. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pool and unanimously carried.Thereupon the Ordinance was read a second time by Title only. Motion was made by Mr. Turville that the proposed Ordinance be read for a third time by Title only and placed upon its passage. Upon roll call vote of Mr. Turgllle's motion, Mr. Boyd voted Naye, and therefore the final reading of the Ordinance w~s tabled until the next regular meeting of the Council.

Councilman Pool asked the Council if it would be permissable for children to operate GO-Karts and/or Soap Box vehicles on the new addition of Lake Sgore Drive. Mr. Pool was advised to secure a petition from abutting property owners to the effect that they had no objection,and the Council would grant permission. Motion was made by Mr. Turville, seconded by Mr.. Pool and carried, that Sup't.Sheldon be issued a work order to repair the sea wall at the Jaycee Beach. Councilman Boyd reported that the boat ramp at the intersect~on of Minnehaha Avenue and the west side ,of Lake Winona was in need of repair. A work order was authorized for the installation of a barricade until an inspection could be made and recommendations made to the Council for repair. ~ Sup't. Sheldon reported that he hoped to have the eastern end of Pitt Street sand-sealed within a week. ~ouncilman Boyd reported that the County engineer had advised him that a 1" asphalt top would be sufficient for Hook Street, and that he was of the opinion that it would be permissable for the City to advertise for bids and bill the County for one-half of the expense, when the work was completed. Mr. Boy~ was requested te investigate the matter further and to obtain the County's authorization in writing. Mr. Boyd reported that Jim Stalnaker had requested that the City lower and repair the side-walk on the west side of 8th street and adjacent to his property. The Streets Committee was requested to contact Mr. Stalnaker and determine what part of the expense he was willing to bear inasmuch as a part of the work requested was not repairs. The Streets Committee was authorized to proceed if a satisfactory arrangement could be agreed upon with Mr.Stalnaker. Clerk Johnson opened bids from Konsler Steel Company and Harry P. Leu, Inc., on a welding machine. Motion was made by Mr. Boyd, seconded by Mr. Turville and carried, that the low bid of $531.20 submitted by Konsler Steel be accepted and a purchase order issued for same. Clerk Johnson opened bids on two trucks with dump bodies. Motio~ was made by Mr. Pool, seconded by Mr. Boyd and carried, that the low bid of $5795.00 submitted by Stalnaker Chevrolet Company, be accepted and a purchase order issued for same.

Clerk Johnson reported that the State Road Department had reported that the plans and specifications for the traffic lite at 5th Street and Highway # 50 did not include a manual control for pedestrians. Clerk Johnson further reported that the additional cost would ap- proximate $200.00. Clerk Johnson was requ~sted to write to the State Road Department requesting an extension of the permit for a traffic lite installation, until July 1, 1962 in order that further investigation and consideration might be given as to the actual need for the signal. Clerk Johnson advised the Council that Mr. Nidy was of the opinion that he should not be required to take out an occupational license for the installation of the shuffle-board courts. Motion was made by Mr. Turville, seconded by Mr. Pool and carried, that no ex- ception be made and that Mr. Nidy be required to obtain the neces- sary license and permit. Motion was made by Mr. Turville, seconded by Mr. Pool and carried, that payment for sefving on the Election Boards be authorized as follows: Members serving during the day, $10.00 each, Members serving at night,. $6.00 each.
