Mayor Nix reported that only one bid was received on
the fumigation of tees and greens at the Municipal Golf
Course: $7,200 ($.06 psf) by Southern Turf Nurseries of
Tifton, Georgia. After discussion, Councilman Bishop
moved to accept the bid, provided all specifications are
met. Seconded by Councilman Ford, motion passed unanimously.
Mr. H. M. Boone addressed Council about his observations
of local traffic violations; such as U-Turns, illegal parking,
not stopping for Stop Signs, and kids on bicycles. Mr. Boone
suggested the City start a special drive or observe a "Law
Day" to bring,attention to local traffic laws. Mayor Nix
appointed a committee (Mr. Boone, Chief Nolte, and Councilman
Bishop) to study this matter and make a report as soon as
possible.
Council discussed a proposal offered by "The Cottages",
a housing development group headed by Mrs. Phyllis Rhoades,
units to be located on Battles Road in the Point Clear area,
whereby they would construct their own sewer system and
then pass ownership over to the City for maintenance.
Councilman White moved to accept the proposal provided the
system is constructed according to the City's specifications,
with cooperation between their engineers and the City's
Water $ Sewer Superintendent ,.and, if at all possible, the
system is kept on the west side of US 98. Seconded by
Councilman Shull, motion passed unanimously.
Council reviewed a proposal to offer City Employees a
"cafeteria program" whereby insurance -coverage options would
be available and the premiums would be exempted from the
usual payroll taxes. After some discussion, Councilman White
moved to refuse the program at this time. Seconded by
Councilman Bishop, motion passed unanimously.
A petition was received requesting the installation of
a traffic light at the intersection of Magnolia Avenue and
Church Street. Mayor Nix appointed Councilman White, Street
Superintendent Tim Kant, and Police Chief Nolte as a committee
to study this request and make a recommendation to Council.
Councilman White moved to be heard on the following item
not on the Agenda. Seconded by Councilman Shull, motion
passed unanimously:
Councilman White stated he had contacted the County con-
cerning the need for mowing the grass along Scenic 98 south
of the City and in other areas of the police jurisdiction.
The County advised him they would compensate the City if we
are interested in cutting the grass on a contract basis.
8 June 1987
Councilman White moved to authorize the Mayor to negotiate
and enter into an agreement with the County whereby they
would compensate the City for keeping the grass cut in
several areas of our police jurisdiction and particularly
along Scenic 98 south to the Grand Hotel. Seconded by
Councilwoman Puckett, motion passed unanimously.
A lady was heard concerning the problem of out-of-towners
crowding the beach north of the Municipal Pier. She asked
if the fees could be raised or if some other way of controlling
this problem could be found. Mayor Nix replied that a higher
fee had been tried and the result was overcrowding at other
areas not as easily patrolled and contained as the north beach.
Council stated any suggestions on how to solve this ongoing
overcrowding problem will be welcomed and implemented if
found to be lawful and feasible.
Councilman Shull moved to pay bills as presented. Seconded
by Councilman Ford, motion passed unanimously.
Meeting was duly adjourned at 6:00 pm.
