Counihan presiding and a quorum consisting of the following Councilmen present: Mr. Richard DeLoach, Mr. John Wylly, Mr. Joseph Agnew, Mr. James Bond, and Mr. Edward J. Fahey. Also present was City Attorney William H. Pinson, Jr. Visitors and Petitioners present at the meeting were: Senator -elect Henry McDowell, A. P. Solomon, III, James W. Stettler, Earl Anderson, Robbie Robertson, Mildred Falligant, Mike Amos, Jeff Dickey, William Whalen, Della Anderson, Louise Shaw, Mr. & Mrs. Jim Fabrikant, Mr. & Mrs. Victor Strojny, Mr. & Mrs. Bob Williams, Mrs. Karen Losey, and Chief John Price. Mayor Counihan introduced the new Senator -elect from this District, Mr. Henry McDowell, who informed the Savannah Beach City Council and the visitors at the Council Meeting that Savannah Beach was in his District and that he was going to do everything in his power to accomplish all those things that Savannah Beach needed. Mr. McDowell stated that he wanted to go on record as stating he would get everything possible for Savannah Beach. He also stated that if the Mayor and Council would let him know what they wanted he would go after it and would not take "No" for an answer. Mayor Counihan thanked Senator McDowell for coming in and said he'would hear from them. Mayor Counihan stated that if Council so desired, the Minutes of the Meetings of Sept. 19, 1974, October 18, 1974 and the Regular Meeting of October 28, 1974 and November 7, 1974, be held in abeyance and not approved until the next regular council meeting due to the fact that they were rather lenghty and he wanted to give Council the opportunity to go over them. This was agreed to by Council. Mayor Counihan requested the Clerk to read a letter from Major General Joel B. Paris, Director, Department of Defense, Civil Defense Division of the State of Georgia, with reference to the Marine Rescue Squadron addressed to Mr. Perry Solomon, Commander of the Marine Rescue Squadrons of America in which General Paris stated that he had no intention of putting the Marine Rescue out of business. Mayor Counihan then called on Mr. Solomon for his comment on this and Mr. Solomon informed Council that what was needed was a ratification of an Agreement signed by the Savannah Beach Chief of Police which read as follows: AGREEMENT 86 2 Following the reading of the Agreement, a motion was made by Councilman Agnew that this Agreemend be ratified. It was seconded by Council Jim Bond and unanimously carried. Mr. Jim Stettler, Skipper of the Marine Rescue Squadron at the Beach stated that this ratification of the Agreement put the MRS back under the law and he wanted to thank them on behalf of the Marine Rescue Squadron. Mayor Counihan requested the Clerk to read the following letter from Mr. Charles W. Lindsey, Supervising Sanitarian of the Chatham County Health Department: LETTER FROM MR. CHARLES W. LINDSEY Mrs. Louise Shaw, a resident of the area referred to in Mr. Lindsey's letter asked if that particular sewer line could not be plugged.. Councilman Bond stated that the line referred to was an active line and could not be plugged. He stated that this particular line had caved in and that is why it was backing up. He stated further that under our Pollution Abatment Program, this line was scheduled to be replaced. Bills of the various departments for the Month of October were approved for payment with the following exception: Chairman Bond of Sewer and Water wanted to look further into a bill in the amount of $249.27 from Tybee Machine that he stated he would like to look into before approving. Councilman Hosti, Chairman of D.P.W. informed Council that a Mr. Roth was in the process of building a $35,.000.00 home on Fifth Avenue, between Jones and Miller and that he needed ingress and egress. Mr. Hosti stated that he had placed approximately 30 yards of fill dirt with .a high degree of clay content which should make a good road bed and give Mr. Roth the relief he is requesting.. Councilman Hosti reported that he was aware of the bad condition of the paving on Lewis Avenue and would like to inform the residents of that street that as soon as the new sewer line was put down, this street would be re- surfaced. Councilman Jim Bond, Chairman of the Sewer and Water Department reported that due to the urgency of the Lewis Avenue sewer problem, this particular street had to be taken out of the Pollution Abatement Project and would be done with City funds in order to expedite this particular job. City Attorney, William H. Pinson reported to Council on the staff study report submitted to them by the Metropolitan 1 1 1 87 3 Planning Commission and the Zoning Administration regarding the re- development of the existing boat marina located on Tybee Creek at Venetian Drive. Mr. Pinson stated that this amendment, which he had reviewed, provides for creating a special use district to be known as a Neighborhood Marina District. He stated further that it also provides for remote, off - street parking. Mr. Pinson stated that he had met with Mr. Anderson, Zoning Administrator and Mr. Bill Saxman, M.P.C. Planner and they had recommended certain changes in wording but other than these minor changes which had been agreed upon, he found nothing that would not meet legal standards. Mr. Pinson then explained the "non- conforming use" status of the Marina at the present time. There followed a lengthy discussion regarding the nature of the expansion if the amendment was adopted. Mr. Earl Anderson, Zoning Administrator, stated that a public hearing must be held on this proposed amendment, following proper legal notification in the newspaper. He stated further that he would like this kept as a neighborhood marina but would like to see the owners be able to fix it up and said all he wanted was for Council to back him up on this and approve a public hearing. Councilman Bond stated that what bothered him was the remote off- street parking. Attorney Pinson then stated that this should now be approved by the Planning Commission and a public hearing be held. After that it should come back to Council for adoption or non - adoption as an Ordinance. City Attorney Pinson said that it came up at the last meeting that we were having a problem with some lots that were over -grown and creating a health hazard. He stated that in checking into this, he found that the City did have an existing Ordinance covering this which was adopted in January, 1973. He stated further that he had reviewed this Ordinance and prepared two amendments to it. The clerk then read the amending Ordinance as follows: ORDINANCE Councilman Richard DeLoach asked that, by unanimous consent, this Amending Ordinance be adopted on first and second reading at this Council Meeting. This motion was seconded by Councilman Wylly and unanimously carried. Attorney Pinson informed Council that in order for these over -grown lots to be claimed as a health hazard, they must be certified as such by our Health Officer. He said that this pre- sented a problem because we did not have a Health Officer at the present time. However, he stated that Dr. Lundquist, Chatham County Health Officer, had agreed to act as Health Officer for the City of Savannah Beach and that it was legal for him to do so. He said that he had prepared a Resolution which would accomplish this and requested the clerk to read it. RESOLUTION 88 4 Councilman Fahey moved that this Resolution be adopted. This motion was seconded by Councilman Agnew and unanimously carried. City Attorney Pinson stated that now that the necessary amendments had been adopted to the Ordinance for the Removal of Rank Vegetation and a Resolution adopted by Council naming Dr. Lundquist Health Officer for the City of Savannah Beach, he felt it might be in order to outline the procedures which should be followed whenever the City becomes aware of a health hazard existing upon any lot or parcel of land. He then outlined the procedures as follows: 1. A member of the City Police Department should personally inspect the lot to determine that it does meet the meaning of the word "rank vegetation" as encompassed in the ordinance and to further determine that such undergrowth is not less than one foot in height or more than 100 feet from any building, structure, or recreational area, or more than 125 feet from a street right of way. 2. 4014B this determination has been made, a standard notice should be prepared by City Hall directed to the owner, his agent, or an occupant of the land, requiring him to remove this under - growth within 15 days from the date of the receipt of this notice, pursuant to Section 8 -6, Code of Ordinances, City of Savannah Beach, Tybee Island, Georgia. Once this notice has been prepared, it should be taken to Dr. Lundquist for his signature, the police officer should then personally serve a copy of it upon the property owner and he should note on another copy the date, time, and person of service. This copy should then be returned to City Hall for records. 3. In the event the property owner is unknown or un- available, the same notice as outlined above, should be prepared by City Hall and then taken to Dr. Lundquist for signature. After Dr. Lund- quist signs this notice, it should be published in the daily newspaper for four consecutive publications in the sheriff's ad section of the paper. 4. After 15 days have elasped under either of the two methods of notification,; Mayor and Council would be authorized to have the vegetation cut or re- moved from the property either with City person- nel or with other personnel who may desire to make a bid upon it. 1 1 5. The cost of removing, including inspection, advertising, labor, and equipment cost are to be charged to the owner or occupant. If they remain unpaid for a period of 30 days, the City shall issue an execution which shall go on record in the Courthouse, Chatham County, Georgia, and shall constitute a lien on all property of the defendant in Chatham County, Georgia. 6. If the property continues to remain unpaid, the ordinance further provides that we may levy and collect this execution as we presently do for taxes. I am skeptical of this provision because it has never been tested to my knowledge in a Court preceeding although I have found it to be of wide spread use in similar ordinances. City Attorney Pinson informed Council that, under the present agreement that we have with the Metropolitan Planning Commission, they provide services to us and in return we are authorized to pay them a certain fee concerning certain services. He stated that, as requested by Council, he had now prepared another Resolution for the present Council to adopt which authorizes the Mayor and Clerk to make payment of funds to the M.P.C. not exceeding Nine Hundred ($900) Dollars per year for services rendered by them as Planner and Ad- visor for the City of Savannah Beach. This Resolution was then read by the Clerk: RESOLUTION A motion was then made by Councilman Fahey that this Resolution be adopted. It was seconded by Councilman De]oach and unanimously carried. Councilman Jim Bond informed Council that only two bids had been received on the proposal to perform certain maintenance work on our elevated water tank. Mr. Bond stated that he was not quite ready at this time to recommend an award of a contract until he had time to get a little more information on it. He then requested a couple of more days to get this information. The Mayor then stated that if this was agreeable with Council, it would be in abeyance until then at which time he would have the clerk poll the Council via the telephone. This procedure was agreeable with Council. Councilman Joe Agnew stated that in our last fiscal audit, it was pointed out by the auditor that the insured valuations of the City's various buildings and holdings was much too low. Mr. Agnew stated that he consequently made a study of all the improvements owned by the City (the buildings, contents, etc) and that his find- ings revealed that the City was woefully uninsured - that we simply did not have enough coverage. And that we would really be in trouble in the event of some unforseen disaster. Mr. Agnew stated further that the total amount of coverage that we have on the buildings is 90 6 One Hundred Thirty -seven Thousand, Three Hundred and Fifty ($137,350.00) Dollars. This amount is for all the buildings that we have, he stated. And the total amount that we have at the present time on the contents of all the buildings was Twenty - four Thousand, Eight Hundred ($24,800.00) Dollars and this was not very much. Mr. Agnew then presented for Council's informa- tion, a schedule showing all of the property presently owned by the City, the present coverage of the buildings and contents and the proposed increased coverages, showing the annual cost for the increased amounts, Four Thousand Five Hundred Thirty -six ($4,536.00) Dollars, the cost of this increased premium for the balance of the fiscal year ($2,268.00); also, the cost of the present coverage ($1,800.00) . PROPERTY SCHEDULE AND INSURANCE COVERAGE Councilman Agnew suggested that these valuations be increased for the remainder of the policy year and a motion was then made by Councilman Hosti that this insurance be increased for the remainder of this fiscal year at an increased cost of Two Thousand Two Hundred Sixty -eight ($2,268.00) Dollars. This motion was seconded by Council- man John Wylly and unanimously carried. City Attorney Pinson stated that Council had requested him to prepare a Resolution authorizing the City of Savannah Beach to act as host for the December Quarterly Meeting of the Chatham County Municipal Association. Mr. Pinson explained that the variou municipalities in Chatham County take turns in hosting the meetings of this group and it was now Savannah Beach's turn. The Resolution to accomplish this was then read by the Clerk. RESOLUTION Councilman Hosti moved the adoption of the Resolution.' It was seconded by Councilman Agnew and unanimously carried. City Attorney Pinson explained to. City Council that all plans and specifications for improvements to our sewage system had been submitted to the appropriate State department which was the Environmental Protective Division of the Department of Natural Resources. He stated that all of these documents must go from the State department to the Federal Environmental Protection Agency for approval before we can secure the grant that is necessary and before the bids can be let. Mr. Pinson stated further, that we were renning into some problems because, as a requirement of this grant, it was necessary that a certification be made that all of the land which is involved in the Project is owned by the City or that we have some legal title to it by easement, for example. Mr. Pinson stated further that upon examination, he found that the City had questionable title to the areas of Alger, Railroad and 1 9 7 Thrushwood Avenues in the Fort Screven area. He also stated that it is proposed to run our new sewer lines down these streets and some of them have never been opened as streets; although they have been shown on maps as belonging to the City. He stated that, therefore, in order to meet the requirements of the site certificates it is necessary that we obtain from property owners whose land abuts these streets, an easement granting us the right to lay this sewer in that street within a twenty foot area. This right to come in and lay this sewer line is all that the Federal Government requires, he said. Mr. Pinson stated further that there were some 33 or 35 property owners involved and we have their names and addresses and . are prepared to get easements from them. Mr. Pinson said that in order to accomplish this as quickly as possible he had prepared a letter to each of these property owners, notifying them that it was necessary for us to obtain these easements and requesting them to attend a Special Meeting of Council at which time we will be happy to answer any questions and explain anything that might come up and also have the easements ready for their signatures. If these easements are not obtained, the only other alternative is to condenn.this land, he stated. For Council's information, Mr. Pinson stated that the possibility of re- routing this line had been looked into in order to avoid the easement problem but Mr. Hutton had indicated that this could not be done due to engineering pro- blems. Following a discussion on the above problem, a motion was made by Councilman Jim Bond and seconded by Councilman Fahey that this letter be sent out as soon as possible. It was unanimously carried. City Attorney Pinson stated that it was his understanding that we were experiencing some problems with certain water takers in the City who had not paid their bills, tampering with the water lines and meters, for the purpose of diverting the water in violation of our Sewer and Water Ordinance. He stated further that such violators are subject to an appearance in our Recorder's Court and the maximum punishment for each such violation is a fine not to exceed $200.00, by imprisonment not exceeding two months and by a further sentence of working on public streets of the City for a period not exceeding sixy days - any, or all of those at the discretion of the Court. City Attorney Pinson said that he had so notified Mr. Bond of this; also, given written notification to the Mayor and Council. Attorney Bart Shea, representing his client, Mr. Steve Crawford, appeared before Council to request that the City Quit Claim a portion of Beechwood Drive in Fort Screven to his client. Mr. Shea stated that Mr. Crawford purchased his piece of property from Mr. Richard Grosse in 1972 and while the closing of the sale was in process, Lawyers Title would not insure the title of the 92 8 property because Beechwood Drive, according to a plat on file in the Court House, ran through this property. Mr. Shea stated that although this request had been in for sometime, Council had waited to act upon it account it might interfere with the proposed Sand Dune Ordinance and the Beach Erosion Project. Mr. Shea reminded Council that the mere delineation of these streets on a map does not automatically give ownership of them to the City. He stated that the City must actually accept dedication of them in order for the City to actually gain ownership to them. He also informed Countil that Mr. Henry Buckley, who was for many years Clerk of Council here at the Beach, had made an affidavit and it was recorded in the Chatham County Court House that the City of Savannah Beach had never accepted dedication of Beechwood Drive. Mayor Counihan stated that he would appoint Councilman Joseph Agnew, Chairman, Ernest Hosti and Richard DeLoach as a committee to investigate this and report their recommendations at the next meeting of Council. 1 Mr. Jeff Dickey, a resident of Chatham Avenue in Savannah Beach appeared before Council to request some relief on sewage backing up at a house he owns which is rental property - 1509 Fifth Avenue. He stated this has caused him to take a loss due to his inability to keep a tenant in this house. Mr. Dickey also complains about the City turning off his water at this house because the tenant negleted to pay the water bill and then turn around and allow this same person to get water at another location. He stated that, if possible, he would like an adjustment. He said he did not feel that he should pay someone elses water bill. Councilman Bond informed Mr. Dickey that the only way to avoid having to pay a tenant's water bill when they move out and leave is to include the water charge in the rent and have the water bills sent directly to them or to check with town hall each month to see whether or not this bill is paid. .Councilman Bond stated further that the City should have to send out two water bills in order to protect the property owner - one to the property owner and one to the tenant. Mr. Bond added that our present ordinance places the responsibility for the payment of water charges on the owner of the property. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned to the next regular or special called meeting.

Box 6648 November 15, 1974 The Honorable M. J. Counihan, Mayor Town of Savannah Beach Savannah Beach, Georgia 31328 Phone 334.2430 Dear Mayor Counihan: Several days ago, Dr. Marley G. Horton, Jr., a local physician, discussed with Dr. Wilbur Lundquist, Commissioner of Health, the fact he was treating three young people for infectious hepatitis who live in the area of Bay Street and McKenzie Avenue at Savannah Beach. Dr. Horton stated that near the home of these patients was a broken sanitary sewer or overflowing manhole which has permitted raw sewage to remain on the ground surface over the past several months. Dr. Horton and Dr. Lundquist feel that there is a good possibility that the infectious hepatitis is related to the malfunctioning sewerage system. The Health Department is aware of the problems that Savannah Beach is having with its sewerage system. However, until these problems can be resolved, we reconnend that those areas where it is known that raw sewage is standing on the ground surface because of broken sewer lines, etc., be posted to warn people to stay away or secured in such a way as to keep people from coming in contact with the sewage. We will appreciate hearing from you on this and if we can be of any appropriate service, please advise. Sincerely, Ca& 10f:;jLCilil Charles W.
