Tybee Island, Georgia
August 8, 1979
A regular meeting of the Tybee Island City Council was held at 3:30 p.m.
on Wednesday, August 8, 1979 at the Tybee Island City Hall. Mayor M. J. Counihan
presided, and the following members of Council were present: Nick C. Alexander,
Jerome W. Bettencourt, Karen Losey, Edward Jung, Jack Owen and William C.
Fleetwood. The City Attorney, W. Lance Smith, III, was also present.
The first visitor to appear before Council was Earl Anderson, who
spoke concerning the upcoming Tybee Jubilee, which has been set for September
15, 1979. He stated that many activities have been planned including crab races
and bicycle races. Mayor Counihan thanked Mr. Anderson for the information and
asked him to contact Councilman Bettencourt concerning any questions or help
needed from the City, as Mr. Bettencourt will act as liaison between the Tybee
Jubilee committee and the City Council.
The second visitor was Mrs. Patricia Allgood who stated that she is
a property owner in the Fort Screven area and asked if the City has made any
decision about Ozzie's Steamer Palace. She also asked if there will be a public
hearing concerning this in the future. Mayor Counihan answered that the Department
of Natural Resources is concerned in this matter, and that the City plans no action
until hearing from this agency.
Mayor Counihan then opened the meeting for business legally presented.
Mayor Counihan first announced that Dr. Samuel Rosen has recently been
honored by the medical association and called on him to say a few words to the
audience. Dr. Rosen spoke, saying that he is proud to be a resident of Tybee
Island, and that he often encourages others to retire here.
Representative Bobby Phillips personally received thanks from the City

for his effort in securing a $12,000.00 grant to support lifeguard protection
for the public using Tybee Island beaches this summer. He offered his continued
support of Tybee Island, and requested that if he can personally be of help with
any problems, specifically including the landfill, that Council ask for his
assistance.
The minutes of the meeting of July 11, 1979 were approved as written.
Councilman Fleetwood then opened sealed bids on the property known as
PIN # 4 -03 -11 -008 which had been advertised for sale by the City. Councilman
Bettencourt moved all bids be rejected; Councilman Fleetwood seconded, explaining
that all bids are below the assessed value of the property. The vote was unanimous
and bidders were so informed.
Councilman Owen stated that capital expenditure is needed in the Water/
Sewer Department. He stated that the two major items of expense are repairs to
the water tank and repairs or replacement of equipment at the sewer plant.
Councilman Fleetwood stated that the slack season is approaching and an order of
precedence for expenditures, especially capital expenditures needs to be established.
Councilman Owen stated that he will investigate costs for equipment, and report
to Council at a later date.
Councilman Alexander stated that the drainage project on the south end
of the island is estimated at $42,500. for materials only. He also stated that
$10,000. toward this project is included in the Revenue Sharing budget. He also
believes that Second Avenue should be widened and parking provided along the
street, and he has bids for this work. Mayor Counihan stated that he feels the
entire Beach Renourishment Project, with reference to our contractual obligations,
should be discussed at a special meeting for this purpose. Councilman Fleetwood
stated that a bond issue might be the only solution to the capital improvements
dilemma.
