Savannah Beach; Tybee Island, Ga.
April 15, 1964.
The regular meeting of Town Council was held today at 3 P.M. in the Council Room in
the Town Hall and was attended by Mayor Brown, who presided and Councilmen Hohenstein,
Powers, Lovell, Fleetwood, Waters, Town Attorney Solms, Superintendent Reed, Chief
Su ► merlin, David Weiner, Aaron Weiner, Jimmy Burke, Mkrs. Hortense Doyle, A.W. Dowell and
E. J. Solomon.
Mrs. Doyle speaking for the Garden Club requested that the lawn at the Community House
be resodded, also that the lawn be-cut more often. The Mayor informed her that the
Town expects to keep up the work but there was a shortage of labor at the present time.
Mrs. Doyle stated that the new museum (Battery Brandy) needed water connections and
wanted to know how much a sprinkler system would cost. The Mayor informed her that
a sprinkler system is not practical in that area but that he would have some spigots
installed in this area.
Mr. Weiner requested that the Town still permit hint to operate the concession on the
beach as had been done for a number of years by several others and himself that he
felt that the offer made by Ed's Services of $2000.00 to the Town for all beach con-
cessions was too high and that he knew from other operations that their idea was to
eliminate competition by offering a high license for the First year to controll all
of the concessions then after they had eliminated all competition make an appeal for a
reduction in their license, this is an out of town concern which operates as a chain.
Mr. Weiner stated that his group has provided lige guard service without cost to the
Town and he felt that the Town should protect them in the matter and issue the license
as they did last year.
Councilman Powers moved that the Town issue the license to Mr. Weiner and Associates
as they had been doing, which was seconded -and the motion passed.
Mr. Dowell stated that he was interested in getting house sewerage facilities to his
property in Garden Ward to take care of the sub - divisions which -he is developing.
He was informed that the sewerage main has already been placed under the highway but
that it would be necessary for a lift station to be built to take care of the house
sewerage that he would be charged with. Mr. Dowell stated that he would agree to
have this station erected at his expense. He also stated that he was interested in
locating a Trailer Park in one of his sub - divisions and he was checking with the M.P.C.
regarding this. He was informed that the water service would be metered. The Mayor
asked where is the line when connected to the Town's main and Mr. Dowell informed him
that the Town's main comes in near property of Miss Margaret Shea. Mr. Lovell stated
that a fee should be charged by the Town for handling the sewerage also a 2 inch meter
would cost about $250.00.
Mr. Solomon requested that the Town go forward with plans to build a fishing pier. He
recommended that large boulders be gotten up state and brought down and placed.on the
beach in connection with the First Street groin. The placing of these on the beach would
not requ °re any posts to hold them in position and he thought that the State Highway De-
partment would help with this. Councilman Lovell mentioned that when the old Bull
River bridge is torn down that there would be material which could be salvaged that
could be used in connection with the building of a'fishing pier and his opinion was
that to put heavy rock boulders to use for groins that they would eventual* sink into
the beach.

The Mayor informed Council that to repair Jones Avenue between -13th and 14th Streets,
III 14th Street between Jones and Fourth Avenue -and Fourth .venue ''between 13th and 14th

from Tutan Construction Company which was for $18,047.00 and the other by Hugh Jackson
which amounted to $14,202.00 and recommended that the contract be awarded to Hugh
Jackson who was low bidder. Councilman Lovell moved that the contract be awarded
tooHugh Jackson and that he be required to put up bond, which Was seconded and passed.
The Mayor informed Council that to replace the body on the Paciker truck that the lowest
bid received was $4500.00 and that the truck would have to be sent to Atlanta for re-
pairs. Councilman Powers moved that a new body be purchased which was seconded and
and passed.
1
Service Systems, Inc.,offered to contract with the Town to haul garbage and trash, etc.,
ay $1.30 per resident per month and $3.00 per month for commercial establishments.
Superintendent Reed informed Council that it would be necessary to replace 93 uprights
which had rusted out on the parking meters and it would require about 240 feet of 2"
pipe.
The Mayor informed Council that the.cul-ert under - Second Avenue in Fort Screven was
flooding and that there was a great need for the use of prisoners to take care of some
of the necessary work and that Mr. Burson of the Prison Board might be able to help,
if not the Town would have to hire more labor.
Superintendent Reed called attention to the persons cleaning lots and piling the debris
in the streets. Councilman Powers stated that since we are'',making them clean up their
property the Town should move it.

wall-from Tilton to Second Street stating that some of them hOd practically rusted
through. Councilman Lovell was requested to handle the natter.
