There being a quorum present, Mayor Nix called the meeting

were duly approved.
Water and Sewer Superintendent Michael (Mike) Rejczyk
was honored with a special plaque from the City and one from
the Volunteer Firemen on the occasion of his retirement from
the Firemen after twenty-two years.
Mayor Nix appointed a special committee to study beach
erosion from Bay Winds Condominiums to Nichols Avenue and
report their findings as soon as possible as per a request
by several property owners. The appointees are Councilmen
Ford, Duck and Bishop, with Ford to act as Chairman.
Councilman Bishop moved to proceed with an application
for a CDBG Housing Rehabilitation grant as outlined by
consulting firm Phillip Roth & Associates. Seconded by Council-
woman Puckett, motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Nix reported that the State of Alabama had awarded
the City a $20,000 grant to replace the bulkhead at Fisherman's
Wharf and at Pier Street pier. The grant is to purchase
materials with the City providing the labor.
Under old business, Mayor Nix advised that he had been
contacted by Larry Sutley, attorney for the Twin Beach Sewer
Authority, requesting written confirmation that the City
will assist the Point Clear sewer project along the plan
as outlined to the Baldwin County Commission in 1989, with
the exception of the maintenance being done by the City instead
of by the County. After some discussion, Councilman White
moved to authorize the Mayor to write the Authority saying
we will agree to assist them according to the same conditions
as outlined in the Mayor's letter to the Commission dated
13 June 1989 with the exception of Item #1; the City will
maintain the system and bill the County Commission at its
cost. If someone other than the County is to be billed,
that entity must be first approved by the City Council on
the basis of a demonstrated stability and ability to meet
all conditions outlined in the June letter including the
14 March 1991

financial ability to meet its obligations. Motion was seconded
by Councilman Duck and passed by unanimous vote.
President Bush has asked that all veterans of the recent
Persian Gulf War be especially remembered and honored this
Fourth of July. Mayor Nix asked that anyone who would like
to make a special donation to the City's Fireworks Fund please
come by City Hall before May 1st so that additional celebration
plans can be made for this purpose.
Councilman Duck moved to pay bills as presented. Seconded
by Councilwoman Puckett, motion passed unanimously.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned
at 5:55 pm.
