There was a discussion regarding $8500 invested in Series H Government Bonds which mature September of this year. New interest rates for extending these bonds an additional ten years would be 4.15 % per annum. The commissioners agreed that the town should redeem these bonds at maturity and invest the proceeds in 5% Certifi- cates of Deposit with the Boynton Beach First National Bank. Town Clerk William Gwynn reported that a representative of Florida Power and Light Company had been in Gulf Stream last week regarding our recent letter to them. The representative stated that the company is now in the process of making a com- plete study of their power facilities in the town. A sealed bid from Ocean Ridge Gulf Service was opened and read. This bid offered a cash discount of 20 per gallon. In addition they offered a 10% discount on oil, -2- accessories, service and mechanical work. Mr. Iglehart stated that he had a verbal quotation from Mr. Whitehead of the Marine Way Corporation offering the town a discount of 3¢ per gallon on all gasoline purchased by the town. The Town Clerk reported that the Standard Oil bulk plant manager had offered to install a 500 gallon tank and electric pump free of charge. They would supply gasoline at a price of 29$ per gallon. They would= require a 3 year lease agreement. After a discussion it was decided to obtain two more bids from bulk plant dealers in the area to furnish tank, pump and price of gasoline. A request from Mr. Phil Moreno, County Sanitation Company, was discussed. His request was that during the summer months garbage be collected twice a week instead of three times a week as is done the rest of the year. The Town Clerk reported that this had been tried and there were a number of complaints. The commission agreed that the pick up for garbage during the summer should remain at three times a week. There was a discussion of the trash collection operation with the general consensus that the revenue does not cover the expenses and that perhaps rates for trash collection should be increased. The commission felt that the operation itself is inefficient. It was agreed that Mr. Moreno be approached to find out what he would charge for all cutting and garden trash being hauled to the dump and what type of regular service he could offer. Mayor Koch announced that Town Clerk Bill Gwynn had submitted his resignation to be effective as soon as a qualified replacement could be found. He reported that Mr. Gwynn had agreed to stay until the budget and tax rolls are prepared and that he would like to leave by the end of August. The commission agreed that each would be available to interview any applicants for the job. Mr. Dickenson was given the floor to give a progress report on the polo field. He stated that a corporation has been chartered and the corporation had leased 33 acres from Mr. Pope. He said they are now in the process of getting bids on building a Par-3 golf course. He requested permission to start digging tjte ponds right after the hurricane season and expected to have the golf course completed by the middle of May. Mr. Lilienthal said that he could see no objection to digging the ponds be- fore any rezoning has been approved, There being no further business to come before the commission, the meeting was adjourned.
