ORDINANCE
Mayor Hendrix announced that our elevated water tank was
in bad need of some maintenance work and bids for the performance
of this work had been received from four different companies.
Present at the meeting were representatives of Utilities Service
Company out of Tampa, Florida who requested permission to speak on
behalf of their bid proposal. Permission was given and Mr. Shelton,
a representative of this company, outlined the work they proposed
to do on the tank. Councilman Hosti informed council that he had
received bids from Utilities SErvice Company for $3100.00, one from
Atlantic Tank & Tower for $2990.00, one from Water Tower Service
Company for $2,000.00. Councilman Hosti stated that Mr. Tommy Reed,
our Superintendent of Public Works, was much more familiar with this
than any other person connected with the city and that Mr. Reed
had talked with representatives of the various companies bidding
on the job and had studied their proposals and came up with the
recommendation that the bid be awarded to Atlantic Tank and Tower
Company of Decatur, Georgia for the amount of $2990.00. Councilman
Hosti stated that although this was not the lowest bid, the lowest
bid was not always the best. He then moved that the contract for
the work be awarded to Atlantic Tank and Tower Company for the sum
of $2990.00 and the motion was seconded by Councilman Parker.
Councilman Earl Anderson stated that when he was Chairman of
the Water and Sewer Departments he had spent quite a bit of time
looking into this proposed work. He stated further that we should
have everything that was proposed to be done in writing. He
also said that he had been through the Atlantic Tank and Tower
file very thoroughly and there was nothing there to indicate that
-3-
this company had done a very good job the last time they serviced
the tank. Mr. Hosti reiterated that it was the recommendation
of Mr. Reed that the contract beawarded to Atlantic Tank & `lower.
Councilman Jung stated that in the future the specs should be
spelled out and all of the companies should bid on the same thing.
The question was then put to a vote by Mayor Hendrix and the
motion was carried by a vote of four to one, Councilmen Hosti, Parker,
Towns and Jung voting for the motion and Councilman Anderson voting
against the motion.
Mayor Hendrix informed council that in recent months the
Metropolitan Planning Commission had been performing many services
for the city of Savannah Beach such as work on our Beach Erosion
Project and several zoning matters and he felt we should officially
request that group to be our Planner and Advisor. He then read the
following resolution requesting the Metropolitan Planning Commission
to act on behalf of the City of Savannah Beach in all planning,
zoning and development matters.
RESOLUTION
Councilman Earl Anderson stated that he felt this was an
excellent move and made a motion that the resolution be adopted. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Hosti and unanimously carried.
Councilman Hosti announced the appointment of Mr. Frank
Burnsed as our Building Inspector to fill the vacancy created by
the resignation of Mr. A. P. Solomon III and moved that his appoint-
ment be confirmed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson
and unanimously carried.
Councilman Anderson stated that after several meetings with
Mr. Jim Bullock, President of the Savannah Beach Jaycees and his
committee, an agreement had been reached on their proposal to
operate the concession stand in Savannah Beach Jaycee Park and

attorney to determine any legal liability on the part of the
City. This motion was seconded by Councilman Parker and unanimously
carried.
