Chairman Douglas called for comments or objections from citizens present.
Citizen Andy Rubin felt it was wrong to address two separate items in one
ordinance (meaning the fees being set and the bonding of locksmiths).
Attorney Conlon, after consideration, agreed that the phrase "locksmiths must
be bonded" should be deleted from the title and the ordinance; and handled separately.
After brief discussion, Councilman Watford moved to amend the ordinance to delete
the reference to "locksmiths must be bonded" in section 59 and also in the title,
seconded by Councilman Burk. "tiorr carried.
Councilman Watford questioned the term "milk bulk plant ", noting the purpose of
the ordinance amendment was to establish an occupational license category for the local
milk hauling business (7D7A). However, 11)FA
just transports it in trucks.

Chairman Douglas called for comments or objections from those citizens present.
Aridy Rubin asked if the surrounding property owners were notified. Clerk Bonnie
Thomas adb"isPd that as set out in Ordinance 402 everyone within five hundred feet
(500') were notified by letter; along with the notice published in the local news.
Rubin asked to go on record as being against the rezoning.
Emory Walker, citizen requesting rezoning, stated' the property was originally
zoned Commercial. Then in the mass rezoning, as part of Ordinance 402, the property
was rezoned Residential.
Councilman Watford noted the surrounding area is primarily rental units. Watford
felt, since the property was originally Commerical and purchased with that intent, the
Council should rectify the situation by changing it back to Commercial.
Councilman Chapman moved to grant the rezoning of Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 177,
from Residential, General (RG -2) to Commercial, seconded by Councilman Burk. Motion
carried.
82 -481 , AGENDA ITEM #VI - FmHA APPLICATION ENGINEERING FEES
Chairman Douglas opened the floor for discussion and action by Council authorizing
the expenditure of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) for the preparation of the
engineering portion of the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) application for develop-
ment of the City's long range sewer needs. A letter from Broome, Van Ostran &
Associates stating the engineering fees will not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00)
was presented to the Council.
Councilman Watford asked Engineer Broome, if he anticipated having any problem
meeting the September 15th deadline. Broome assured the Council there would be none.
Councilman Watford moved to authorize the engineering firm of Broome, Van Ostran
& Associates to complete the application for a Farmers Home Administration grant; the
fees not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00), seconded by Councilman Burk.
Motion carried.
Councilman Watford felt, due to an article in the Palm Beach Post, clarification
was needed regarding the contingencies required for the proposed nursing home. Jack
Williamson asked, also, for the tap fee and system capacity charges. Attorney Conlon
advised the current rate is eighty cents (80¢) per thousand, however, that is subject
to change at anytime. The current tap fee is Three Hundred Twenty -Five Dollars ($325.00).
Attorney Conlon wanted to make it clear that the City is not taking the posture
"to get sewer from the City, you must annex to it."
Mr. Williamson asked of the status of the DER permit. Director of Public Works
Fortner explained that the City is presently operating without a permit, DER is waiting
for the City to submit a plan of correction prior to issuing a permit.
Council reaffirmed the fact that, once annexation takes place the Twenty -Four
Thousand (24,000) gallons will be set aside, when the City has the capacity to handle
it.
