Savannah Beach, Georgia
April 22, 1970
The regular monthly meeting of City Council was held today in
the council room at 3:00 P. M., with Mayor Michael J. Counihan
presiding and the following councilmen in attendance: John H.
Daniels, Edward Jung, Robert F. Cary, C. Louis #-Iohenstein,
Milledge Jones and George Schwarz. Also in attendance was City
Attorney, Bart E. Shea and Police Chief James W. Price.
Councilmen -elect James W. Stettler and Edward Towns sat in on
the meeting.
Visitors at the meeting were Mr. Guy Waldeck of the Rockwell
Manufacturing Company, Mr. Callahan, Mr. Bob O'Neil and Mr.
J. L. Bowyer, Jr.
The Dilutes of the regular meeting of March 25th and the special
meeting of April 6th were approved as written.
Councilman Jung introduced Mr. Guy Waldeck of the Rockwell Mfg.
Company, whom he stated had come down to check on the performance
of the 230 parking meters purchased last year from his company.
Mr.. Waldeck stated to Council that he had found the meters perform-
ing well and not diving any trouble. He stated that while he was
here he wanted to inform Council of some new safeguards in the
collection system which his company had developed recently. He
stated that the .system was used in cases where keys were lost and
fell into the hands of unauthorized persons. The system involved
an inner box for each meter from which the contents were poured
directly into a locked container to betaken directly to the
sorter and counter in City Hall. He stated that in the event someone
got possession of a key and was able to gain entrance to the meters
they would have.to take the whole.box and you.would.know for certain
that some unauthorized person had a key to the meters. Mr. Waldeck
stated that in order for the city to convert to this system it
would cost approximately $6.90 per kit for each meter, plus $105.00
for each carry -pack needed. Mr. Waldeck was given an inventory
of our meters, with the request that he study it and let us know
what the cost of converting to this system would be.
The Mayor asked the visitors at the meeting if they had anything
to say. Mr. O'Neil stated that he was there to observe. Mr. Calla-
han, who is a retired civil engineer, stated that he wanted to
offer. his help and assistance to the community in: whatever capacity
they saw fit to use it.
Mr. Bowyer requested aid from the City in an effort to halt the
periodic flooding of his property in the Vicinity of First Street
86
and Lovell Avenue. The Mayor stated that the city had checked
into this situation and found that a valley existed in this
particular area and a big part of this would be overcome when the
new beach protection groins were installed. Also, that he would
request Mosquito Control to clean out the ditch and culvert which
might give some relief.
Councilman Daniels displayed four photographs taken of three
unsightly locations in the city, two of which belonged to Mr.
Edward Pasko, one of Adams Inn and the other an area near the

4 x 8 plywood sign.
