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. (Hubert K. Ellzey Prop.) (2) Small Business Admin. (Hubert K. Ellzey Prop) (3) Small Business Adm. Lots 17 -18 -19 Fort Ward Savannah Beach, Ga. Lots 39 & 40 Fort Ward Savannah Beach, Ga. Lot 38 - Fort Ward (Hubert K. Ellzey Prop.) Savannah Beach, Ga. s, Resolutions PIN 470 -25 -06 PIN 470 -25 -07 PIN 470 -25 -13 The Clerk stated that a check had been received from the Small Business Administration covering all back taxes, interest and penalties, advertising, etc, on all of this property. He then read the 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 and part of Lot 21 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 1 '3 Councilman Jung moved that the Resolution be adopted and the property quitclaimed back to Mr. Clyde E. Coleburn. It was seconded by Councilman Zittrauer and unanimously carried. 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 1 1 1 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.
