Savannah Beach, Georgia
July 18, 1973
The regular monthly meeting of Savannah Beach City
Council was held at 3:00 p.m., this afternoon at City Hall,
with Mayor Wm. Allen Hendrix presiding and a quorum of the
following Councilmen present: Edward Towns, Ernest Hosti,
Earl Anderson, Walter Parker, Perry A. Zittrauer, Jr., and
Edward Jung.
City Attorney Fred Clark and L. E. Elliott, City
Marshall, were also in attendance.
Visitors and Petitioners at the meeting were: Fred
and Laura Mackey, Jim Bulluck, Marion Tuten, Robbie Robertson,
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Morris, Mr. Thomas L. Ball, Mr. Woody Chambers,
Mr. Barron Goodman, Mr. Lee Berry, and Mr. and Mrs. Steve Crawford
of Waynesboro, Georgia.
Minutes of the meetings of June 20th and 28th were
approved as written.
Mr. and Mrs. Steve Crawford of Waynesboro, Georgia,
appeared before Council to obtain information in regard to
Beechwood Drive in Fort Screven. He stated that approximately
a year ago, he and his wife purchased a portion of Lot #1,
block 33, Fort Screven Ward, with full knowledge that a part of
Beechwood Drive, if opened up as a °street, would go right through
this property. He stated that he had retained Mr. Bart Shea
in an attempt to get this portion of Beechwood Drive quitclaimed
to him by the City but had not heard from him so he had decided
to appear before Council himself and try to get some assurances
before he begins to build his house. Mayor Hendrix stated that
there was not enough time at Council meetings to go into this
thoroughly and suggested that Mr. Crawford contact him when he
was in town again and they would sit down and talk about it.
Mr. Jim Bulluck, President of the Savannah Beach Jaycees,
offered the following proposal to City Council:
TO: Honorable Mayor Al Hendrix
and Members of City Council
From: Savannah Beach Jaycees
The Savannah Beach Jaycees hereby offer to the City of Savannah Beach
the following proposal:
2
Whereas the Savannah Beach Jaycees have invested many hours
and dollars in the preparation of Savannah Beach Jaycee
Park,and desire to see the park completed in all phases
(as outlined in Jaycee Park Proposal 1970- 1971), we do
hereby request the opportunity to operate the newly constructed
concession stand located in Savannah Beach Jaycee Park.
The proceeds from said venture to be reinvested in the further
development of aforemention Park and other community
development projects.
Compensation to the City of Savannah Beach to be made as follows:
An annual lease agreement based on 15% of the net profit per
month of operation to be paid to the City. Improvements to
City property to include all necessary equipment to be installed
by the Savannah Beach Jaycees at their expense.
To provide adequate record keeping, the Savannah Beach Jaycees
will maintain a separate set of books on the concession operation
and suggest an employee of City Hall be appointed to monitor
the records.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ J. E. Bulluck
Mr. Bulluck stated that he would like the proposal
made a part of the records of this meeting. Mayor Hendrix
stated this proposal would be acted upon later.
Mrs. Laura Mackey spoke on behalf of her project, a
dancing school and kindergarten which she proposed to open
in the Fall. She stated that the Health Department would not
issue a permit to her until the grass and high weeds were cut.
Mayor Hendrix assured Mrs. Mackey that the Department of Public
Works would take care of this.
Bills for the various departments for the month of
June were approved for payment.
City Attorney Fred Clark referred to Council a claim
of approximately $400.00 for personal injury and property
damage filed by Monsignor P. J. O'Connor, which damages resulted
from an accident with one of our police vehicles in which our
policeman was at fault. Councilman Towns moved that the claim
be accepted and the damages paid. Councilman Earl Anderson
seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.

Mayor Hendrix told Council that the American Legion
would like to swap the building they are now in for the old
Fire House. It was decided to postpone this question until
the next Council Meeting at which time an effort would be made
to bring in some officers from the American Legion, together
with some of the objectors.
Finance Chairman Edward Jung presented budgets for the
Fiscal Year beginning May 1, 1973, and ending April 30, 1974,
for the General Fund, Water and Sewer Departments.
He first read the projected revenue and expenditures
for the Water and Sewer Department.

Councilman Jung then read the projected appropriations
and expenses of the General Fund.

Councilman Jung moved the adoption of this budget. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Parker and unanimously carried.
Councilman Parker, Chairman of the Police Committee,
requested salary increases in the Police Department as follows:
Chief John Price - Increased $12.50 per week.
Two Patrolmen promoted to Corporal with rate increase $8.00 above
Patrolman salary, retroactive to July 1st.
Councilman Jung announced to Council that for over four
years now the City Clerk has used his personal tape recorder to
tape the meetings and that he felt that the City should put
this recorder in good shape and take it over and purchase a
similar new one for the Clerk. Councilman Jung moved, therefore,
that since no rental has been paid for this four year's use
that the Clerk be authorized to purchase a new tape recorder at a
cost not to exceed $400.00 and to turn the old one over to the
City for its use. Councilman Anderson seconded this motion and it
was carried unanimously.
Councilman Anderson moved that the salary of the City
Clerk and the five employees in the office be given a cost of
living raise to conform with the Federal Wage Freeze Regulations.
The Motion was seconded by Councilman Zittrauer and unanimously
carried.
Mayor Hendrix announced to Council that the Sewage
Treatment Plant was approximately 99% complete and would probably
be turned over to us along about July 20th. He then called on
Edward M. Patterson, City Clerk, for a run down on the cost of
the Project which is known as Project C130205 - Construction of
a Sewage Treatment Plant on Pumping Stations 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. In
his resume', City Clerk Patterson stated that Bonds issued for the
Project amounted to $1,330,000.00, of which $910,624.00 was the
City's share for the two main projects, C130205, the treatment
plant and lift stations which was almost complete; and C- 130353
(Sewer Interceptor System -Phase II) for which the E. P. A. Grant
had now been approved. Also included in the bond issue, he
stated, was $40,000.00, which was set up to repair and maintain the
old collection system until such time as a HUD Grant could be
obtained to match our funds on hand to rebuild our old collection
system. The HUD Grant seems unlikely now, he said, so it appears
the repairs and extensions must be made with our remaining funds.
Mr. Patterson stated also that it was now apparent that the City's
cost for Project C130205 would be approximately $70,000.00 less
than anticipated. City Clerk Patterson stated that there was
also another source of revenue which could be added to our
$419,376.00 plus $40,000.00 which would be available for rebuilding
the old collection system, and that is some $35,000.00 or
$40,000.00 interest on investments of construction fund money
which is allowed under the Resolution covering the Bond Issue.
Summing up, Mr. Patterson stated that through this careful management,
supervision and the handling of the money from the bonds and the
Federal Grant, we were now in position to do approximately 75% of the
work we would have been able to do with the HUD Grant. Finally, he
stated that at the present time we have on hand in the Sewer and
Water Construction Fund $206,000.00 and $400,000.00 invested in
guaranteed securities.
Mayor Hendrix appointed Councilman Ernest Hosti to work
with Mr. Pat Walsh of the Post Office Department to help bring
about mail delivery to our homes.
Councilman Parker reported that rates for parking in the
16th Street parking lot had been reduced to 30 an hour which is
only 5 higher than the charge was on the metered parking.
Mayor Hendrix urged all Councilmen who possibly could to
attend the public meeting on Sand Dunes being held in City Hall
Auditorium on August 4, 1973 (Saturday) from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00,
and from 2:00 p.m., to 4:00 p.m., which meeting is to be conducted
by State Senator Roscoe Dean and his official Senate Committee.

He stated that he felt it very important that we have as many
CouncilMen in attendance as possible.
There being no further business the meeting was
adjourned to the next regular or special called meeting.
