Savannah Beach, Georgia
April 18, 1973
The regular monthly meeting of Savannah Beach City Council
was held this afternoon at 3:00 p.m., in the Council Room of
City Hall with Mayor Allen Hendrix presiding and a quorum of the
following Councilmen present: Edward Towns, Perry A. Zittrauer, Jr.,
Ernest Hosti, Walter Parker, Earl Anderson and Edward Jung.
Mr. Elliott, the City Marshall, was also present.
Visitors and Petitioners at the meeting were Mr. Rick Garcia
and Mr. Claude Thompson of the State Department of Natural
Resources in Atlanta and Mr. Gus Pappas, Assistant Chatham County
Engineer.
The meeting was opened with a prayer by Mr. L. E. Elliott,
followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
Mr. Rick Garcia, Director of Flood Insurance for the Department
of Natural Resources,was introduced by Mayor Hendrix. Mr. Garcia
pointed out the new requirements and land use control measure which
would have to be adopted by Savannah Beach and other municipalities
who wished to continue to be eligible for flood insurance. He
stated that the purpose for all this was to prevent flood disasters
which have been so prevalent in the country during the past several
years. He stated further that when he and Mr. Thompson returned to
Atlanta, they would try to adopt the current Chatham County
Ordinance, which was acceptable to H. U. D., to Savannah Beach, so
that it could be adopted by Council and thereby enable Savannah
Beach to become eligible for Flood Insurance. Mr. Thompson informed
Council as to the content of the necessary Ordinance.
Mayor Hendrix then opened the meeting for business legally
presented. The minutes of the Meetings of March 21st, March 28th,
April 5th and April 16th were approved as written.
Bills for the various departments were approved for payment.
Mayor Hendrix requested the second and final reading on the
Amendment to the Ordinance on the Malt Beverage Excise Tax.
Following this second reading, the Mayor explained the present
status of the proposed Ordinance stating that after the first reading
Councilman Anderson had moved an amendment to the original Ordinance,
changing the proposed $1.20 per case on malt beverages to 70 per
case. He then stated that in view of the passing of the $1.20
maximum - 84G minimum by the General Assembly, he was requesting
Mr. Anderson to withdraw his motion for amendment. Mr. Anderson
did withdraw his amendment. Under discussion, Councilman Towns
stated that he would like to see this tax kept at the state level.
Councilman Jung stated that most of the small municipalities were
the same as the new state law. Mayor Hendrix stated that Savannah
66
and Chatham County went to $1.20 last year because they needed the
additional revenue. He said because of recent salary increases
and other things, Savannah Beach also needs additional revenue
and that he thought this was the best way to get it. Councilman
Parker then moved that the Ordinance be adopted on second reading.
This motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson and carried by a
vote of four to two - Councilman Zittrauer, Hosti, Parker and
Anderson voting for the motion and Councilmen Towns and Jung voting
against the motion.
O R D I N A N C E
Mayor Hendrix stated that we had been requested by the
Environmental Protection Agency to amend our Water and Sewer
Ordinance to include some of their requirements but since it was
received late we did not have time to get it processed for this
meeting but it would be ready for the May meeting.
The City Clerk stated that he had received Petition
and Quit Claims as follows:
(1) Small Business Admin.

following three Resolutions:
R E S O L U T I O N S
Councilman Jung moved that these Resolutions be adopted and
that the Mayor be authorized to execute quitclaim deed to the Small
Business Administration relinquishing all right the City might have
to this property. This motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson
and unanimously carried.
The Clerk stated that a Petition, Resolution and Quitclaim
Deed had been received from Mr. Thomas F. Walsh, attorney for
Mr. Clyde E. Coleburn requesting that the property known as Lot 20

Councilman Jung moved that the Resolution be adopted and
the property quitclaimed back to Mr. Clyde E. Coleburn. It was

The Clerk stated that a Petition, Resolution and quitclaim
had also been received from Mr. Nicholas S. Kenny, requesting
that the property known as Lot 14, Palm Terrace, Ward One,
Savannah Beach, which was sold for taxes by the City of Savannah
Beach, and on which all back taxes and charges have now been paid,
be quitclaimed back to them. He then read the following Resolution:
R E S O L U T I O N
Councilman Jung moved that this Resolution be adopted and
the property be quitclaimed back to Mr. Nicholas S. Kenny. It
was seconded by Councilman Anderson and unanimously carried.
Councilman Edward Jung told Council that at the March 1973
meeting a motion of his was approved by them to adjust off the City's
books and accounts some small uncollectable amounts; stating that
they were investigated by his Committee and were found to still be
there because of an error of some kind. He stated further that he
now feels that a mere motion did not give enough of the facts so
that the circumstances leading to their decision to make these
adjustments could be readily understood by anyone having occasion
to check the records of the City. He, therefore, read the following
Resolution which he stated gave all the facts regarding these
adjustments:
R E S O L U T I O N
Councilman Jung then moved the adoption of this Resolution
by Council. The motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson and
unanimously carried.
Councilman Towns reported that Mrs. Ginn, Director of Chatham
County Emergency Medical Services, was scheduled to be at the
Council Meeting today to discuss with us the various requirements
in connection with the locating of a station at the Beach during
the summer months. He said he had been informed earlier today that
she would not be able to make it today but would be down the first
of the week and meet with us.
Mayor Hendrix stated that he had received a request from
Mr. Jimmy Brown for a variance in regard to building two houses.
Councilman Anderson advised that a public hearing would be necessary
on this.
Mayor Hendrix informed Council that our Zoning Ordinance was
causing us to lose a lot of building at the Beach because the
contractors could not conform to the requirements. He stated
68:
further that one meeting had been held to discuss this and it
would be looked into further.
Councilman Parker stated that an application had been received
from Mrs. Nelvin Rouquie for a distilled spirits pouring license at
her present place of business on First Street. Mr. Parker stated
that after an investigation, this license application had been
approved by the Police Committee and he, therefore, moved that the
license be granted. It was seconded by Councilman Zittrauer and
unanimously approved.
Councilman Parker also reported on an application for a wine
and malt beverage license in the name of Dave Hudson at the present
location of Kathy's Lounge. He stated that since the Police
Committee did not recommend the granting of this license to Mr.
Hudson he would move that the license not be granted. This motion
was seconded by Councilman Hosti and carried by a vote of five to
zero (5 -0), Councilman Jung abstaining.
Councilman Anderson reminded Council that our present parking
decals would expire May 1st, prior to the next Council meeting and
it was necessary to amend our Traffic Ordinance to make provisions
for granting decals. He stated that he felt they should be given
to all residents who paid their automobile ad valorem tax from a
Savannah Beach address. He then read the following proposed
amendment to the Traffic Ordinance:
O R D I N A N C E
Councilman Anderson then moved that this Ordinance be adopted
on first and second reading at this meeting by unanimous consent.
Councilman Parker seconded the motion and it was passed,by
unanimous consent, on first and second readings at this meeting by
a vote of six for and none against (unanimously).
Councilman Zittrauer stated that Mrs. Lucy Patterson, Recreation
Director, was doing a tremendous amount of work for a very small
salary and he felt her salary should be increased. It was also
mentioned that our employees in the office here in City Hall and
also the Museum should get increases. Mayor Hendrix stated that we
would sit down at some time in the near future and work this out.
REPORT OF COMMITTEES:
Councilman Hosti reported that the Museum Committee was
functioning and that they were making an effort to correct as many
of the faults as possible. With reference to the painting of the
outside of the Museum, he stated that it was his understanding that
the Jaycees would provide the labor if the Town would provide the
paint. Mayor Hendrix stated the Town would be more than happy to

do this.
Councilman Anderson reported that he, Mr. Towns and Mr. Berry,
(Committee Checking Into Water Rates) were conducting an
investigation of the water rates with a view of effecting some
relief for the water users and they would report back at a later
date.
Councilman Anderson reported that he was working with
Mr. Sheehan of Hogan Outdoor Advertising in a zoning matter pertaining
to the erection of advertising signs in the absence of Mr. Berry,
the Zoning Administrator.
