Savannah Beach, Georgia
January 17, 1973
The regular monthly meeting of Savannah Beach City
Council was held today in the Council Room of City Hall, with
Mayor Allen Hendrix presiding and the following councilmen
present: .Edward Towns, Perry A. Zittrauer, Jr., Ernest
Hosti, Walter Parker, Earl Anderson and Edward Jung. Also
present were City Attorney Bart Shea and Police. Chief John Price.
Visitors and petitioners present at the meeting were: Mrs.
Eugenia Willis, Mrs. Evelyn Butler, A. P. Simon, Charlie Hill,
Charles Masterpolis, Mr. William Vogel, Mr. Calvert Strickland,
Mrs. Karen Losey, Nickie Alexander, Jake Alexander, Steven
Rouquie, Bill Wong and Hubert Ellzey.
Mr. A. P. Simon, acting as spokesman for a group of mer-
chants, made a plea to the Mayor and Council against adopting
an ordinance increasing the excise tax on malt beverages and
spirituous liquors. Mr. Simon stated that the beach merchants
who handled beer and liquors had experienced a sharp decrease
in sales as revealed by the tax received by the City on these
two items in 1972 as opposed to 1971. He stated that figures
received from city hall showed $2303.54 received in tax from
liquor and beer in 1971 as against $1380.00 received from the
same source in. 1972. Mr. Simon also said that he felt their •
tax load was heavy enough at the present time; and that their
tax was being brought up to equal Savannah and Chatham County;
whereas, unlike those two, Savannah Beach has only a three or
four month's operation.
Mr. Simon stated he would like to compare Savannah Beach
with Thunderbolt, a similar size town. He stated that the pop-
ulation of Thunderbolt ^was 2750 people, a little larger than
Savannah Beach and yet they have in their Town Hall one clerk
and one assistant clerk. The police department employs two
men for two 12 -hour shifts, he stated. He also said that they
have two police cars and each man's salary is $550.00 per month.
Mr. Simons cited further the drop in revenue from our police
court when the bars were only allowed to stay open until two
o'clock - the same as the City of Savannah and C hatham County.
In conclusion, Mr. Simon asked the Mayor and Council to con-
sider helping them more and not taxing them more. And to spend
some ofthe city tax dollars on things that will help bring more
business and to cut down some of the expenses in city government
if we need more money and not put an additional burden on them
by increasing this excise tax.

Mr. Nick Alexander, owner of Nickie's Lounge and several
other businesses on the beach also spoke on behalf of those
protesting this increase in tax. He cited figures to show the
drop in his business at the Kitten Korner. He stated that, in
1971, his gross receipts were $67,250.00; as opposed to
$27,000.00 in 1972, a loss of approximately $40,000 in one year's
time; and, it caused him to cut out all entertainment. He stated
further that most of his business at Kitten Korner came after
two O'Clock and the two O'Clock closing caused this sharp decrease
in business. Mr. Alexander continued to cite comparative figures
revealing the sharp decline in all of his businesses in 1972
as compared to 1971. At this point, Mayor Hendrix injected
the thought that possibly a lot of our problems stemmed from
the fact that every other year we have our election and a big
political battle takes place. Mr. Masterpolis, Hubert Ellzey,
Mr. Rouquie, Mrs. Losey also spoke in protest of this increased
tax.
It was suggested that a remedy for all these ills could be
the elimination of the so- called Blue Laws. City Attorney
Bart Shea explained that there were currently two bills pro-
viding for some sort of action these Blue Laws now pending in
the State Legislature. One of these, he stated, was aimed at
isolating the sale of liquor and malt beverages and excluding
them from the Blue Laws. The other one includes it, so it might
be a question of which one of these bills is taken up. Mayor
Hendrix stated that he felt that Blue Laws should be abolished
and feels that City Council would adopt a Resolution to this effect.
Mrs. Eugenia Willis, long time Tybee resident, spoke a
few words concerning the proposed amendment and Ordinance
requiring the cutting of weeds and other wild vegetation on pro-
perty within the city. Mrs. Willis stated that after reading
this ordinance, it was her understanding that the only notice
a person would receive on this would be the newspaper advertise-
ment which would run five times. She said she felt this was
unfair. Councilman Earl Anderson explained Mrs. Willis's
apparent misunderstanding. He stated that there would never be
any lots cut from a mere notice in the paper; and, that everyone
would be properly notified.

purpose of purchasing an NCR Machine to supplement internal

fee be fixed at $25.00. City Attorney Shea then read the follow-

R E S O L U T I O N

Mayor Hendrix announced that on a recent boat ride, Mr.

summer season. The Mayor stated that if council was interested
and approved of this, Mr. Funk would like to come down and hold
his first meeting on the project on the 29th of January at
8:00 P.M. and meet with any citizens and organizations interested
in taking part in this endeavor and name the various sub - committees.
He stated further that Mr. Funk would like one person to repre-
sent each organization on the Beach. This matter was thoroughly
discussed by Council, following which Councilman Earl Anderson
moved that Mr. Funk be invited to the Beach for a meeting with
us on January 29th to discuss the possibility of holding a Spring
Festival at our season's opening. Councilman Towns asked that the
motion be amended so that City Council go on record as inviting
Captain Funk down to head our General Committee for a Spring
Festival. Councilman Anderson moved that Council adopt a Resolution
accepting the kind offer of Captain Robert Funk to chair the
Spring Festival, or whatever name Mr. Funk chooses to call these
1
festivities at the opening of our summer season. Councilman
Parker seconded this motion and it was unanimously approved.
R E S O L U T I O N
Mayor Hendrix asked the City Attorney to read the Ordinance
amending the Ordinance levying a license tax upon retail dealers
engaged in the business of selling malt beverages, wine or
spirituous liquors. Attorney Shea asked the Mayor if he wanted
it added as an item of new business. Mayor Hendrix answered that
what was put on the agenda should stay on the agenda and that
no action whatsoever should be taken on it at an agenda meeting.
He stated further that official action on any question could be
taken only at regular meetings or special called meetings of
council. Mayor Hendrix added that this Ordinance should be read
as Ordinances usually are; that is, on first reading at this
meeting and for the second time at the next meeting of Council
O R D I N A N C E
Councilman Parker moved that the Ordinance, as read, be
accepted on first reading. Councilman Anderson seconded the motion -
It was balloted upon and carried by a vote of four to two, Council-
men Zittrauer, Hosti, Parker and Anderson voting for the motion
and councilmen Jung and Towns voting against the motion.
Mayor Hendrix announced that there would be no more agenda
meetings in the future. He stated that he would hold informal
discussion meetings when necessary to discuss pending business.
He added that these meetings would probably be held several
days before the regular council meeting. He also reminded Council
that a Special Meeting could be called at any time by four or
more councilmen.
City Attorney Bart Shea informed Council that, at the present
time, the Code pertaining to LP Gas was in the building section
of our regular Ordinances; and, since by the adoption of our new
Building Ordinance today, it has been omitted, the following
amending Ordinance should be adopted. He stated that the effect
of this Ordinance is to put the LP Gas section in its proper
place - as a part of the Plumbing Ordinance. He stated also that,
due to the time element, both readings should be held today. He
then read the amending Ordinance.
O R D I N A N C E
34, ,
Councilman Parker moved that, by unanimous consent, this
Ordinance be adopted on first and second reading at this Meeting.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson and unanimously
approved.
COMMUNICATIONS: The Clerk read a letter from Senator Sam
Nunn, thanking us for our recent letter with enclosures, and
offering his continued help with our Beach Erosion Project.
Mayor Hendrix informed Council of Senator Wiley Wasden's
efforts to get the preliminary work done towards our aim to
bring natural gas to the Beach. Councilman Anderson enlarged
on the Mayor's remarks, stating that in our first reckoning of
the amount of money needed to accomplish this, the cost appeared
to be prohibitive. He stated that the calculated cost to bring
full service to the Beach was $970,000; and subtracting from
this figure the average investment per customer ($341,000); the
possible deduction for the service to Talahi Island ($41,400);
and a possible payment by the U. S. Department of Parks for
Fort Pulaski ($82,800); leaves a Tybee deficit of $504,200. The
Mayor stated that he would go into this in more depth a little
later, with the help of a committee which he would appoint later.
The City Clerk requested of Council permission to charge
off certain items on our books and records such as parcels of
land which were sold for taxes and there is no record of quit
claim from the beach, even though the property has been redeemed
and all back taxes and charges paid. There are also a few
uncollectible items and small balances of long standing which
should be adjusted off. These were turned over to Councilman
Jung for the Finance Committee to study and bring in their
recommendations. Councilman Anderson made a motion that this
be turned over to the Finance Committee. It was seconded by
Councilman Parker and unanimously carried.
Councilman Zittrauer, chairman of the Recreation Committee,
revealed plans to hold a volley ball tournament on the Beach. He .
said the plans were to hold games every Saturday and notify
various nearby colleges of this. He said they would build it up
to be for the Southeastern Championship. He stated further
that it seems that our people are thirsty for this kind of
recreation and he would like to get this program started
around the first Saturday in June.
Mr. Jim Aliffi appeared before Council to remind them of
the up and coming National Bike Races which are to be held at
the Beach on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day; and, asked that they
give their full cooperation when requested.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned
to the next regular or Special Called Meeting.
