the quality of the work being performed by some of the
subcontractors. • The destruction and inferior replacement
of various water lines and storm sewers and also, the manner
in which our public streets are being patched and resurfaced.
There are also several other matters pertaining to the same
subject that I would like to discuss."
This meeting was presided over by Mayor M. J. Counihan and
a quorum consisting of the following Councilmen was present:
J. M. Agnew, Edward Fahey, James Bond, Bob Davenport and Richard
DeLoach. City Attorney William H. Pinson was also present.

Following the opening of the meeting the Mayor requested the
Clerk to read the letter which was sent to the Councilmen and all
those requested to be present at the meeting. The Mayor then
stated that he ha_. :ece_ved numerous complaints from citizens and
residents of the City pertaining to the problems outlin4.2 in the
letter, particular :ly the conditions of the streets and might-of-
ways and the many ;instances of sewers backing up in various homes.
He stated further that he felt the City was paying for certain
items that they had no right to pay for. The Mayor also said that
the object of the m'-eting was not to accuse or threaten anyone
but was called for the benefit of Savannah Beach residents and
those who visit d';;: :ing the summer months.

Mayor Counihan stated that many letters of complaints had
been received by him and requested the Clerk to read a typical
one from Mr. Ray Zouchs which was received today. In this letter,
Mr. Zouchs who resides at 807 Lovell Avenue, complained about the
condition of Lovell Avenue between 8th and 9th Street since the
sewer construction work had been completed at that location and
the total lack of drainage following the work.
Mayor Counihan then called upon Mr. F. V. George of Thomas
and Hutton Engineering Company to explain to the meeting what the
Contractor should do when the sewer work has been completed in
regard to the patching and re- surfacing of the streets. Mr. George
read from the Contract specifications (page 02554 -26) in regard
to replacing paved streets, replacing dirt streets and driveways.
These sections outline ,in detail exactly the manner in which the
various streets and driveways torn up in the work must be replaced.
Mayor Counihan asked Mr. George if there were any specifica-
tions directing the closing of the complete street while work
was being performed there. Mr. George answered that only a portion
of the street should be closed under normal procedures. In answer
to a question from the Mayor as to whether or not these streets
that have thus far been re- surfaced have been accepted, Mr. George
replied that these streets have not been accepted and the Contractor
has been advised of the concern of the City and the Engineer and
he is aware that the pavement is not acceptable and has discussed
this with his paving contractor who has been advised that he
must come back in and re-do these streets. The Mayor then exhibited
some samples of newly paved streets which he stated was not in
accordance with the specifications and would not be accepted by
the City. The May:_'r stated that these streets which were not
accepted by the (.7. should be logged by the Resident Inspector
and a written rco d kept of same.
Mayor Counihan then requested Mr. Bell, the Resident Inspector,
for a report on the street paving performed t7.us far. Mr. Bell
stated that when this bad paving was called to the attention of the
Contractor, he tsgrc..d to c: me back in and have it re- done. Mr.
Bell then remi t'' hid .; :he Mayor that he could not counterman the
