CLOSE THE ACTIVE LIFE OF THE REVEREND J. SULLIVAN BOND; AND WHEREAS

GEORGIA; AND WHEREAS THE STATURE HE ATTAINED AS A MINISTER AND SERVANT
OF GOD IN THIS COMMUNITY, AND IN OTHER COMMUNITIES IN WHICH HE SERVED,
INCLUDING SUCH HISTORIC PARISHES AS CHRIST CHURCH FREDERICA ON ST.
SIMONS ISLAND, GEORGIA, WAS RECOGNISED DURING HIS LIFETIME; AND
WHEREAS, HIS EXEMPLARY LIFE AND MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS IN PUBLIC LIFE
AND HIS DEVOTION TO HIS BELOVED FAMILY, WERE NOTED AS AN INSPIRATION
TO HIS FELLOW CITIZENS; NOW BE IT RESOLVED, THAT THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF TYBEE ISLAND, GEORGIA, DOES, BY THIS RESOLUTION AND
PUBLIC RECORD, RECOGNIZE THE PROFOUND INFLUENCE OF J. SULLIVAN BOND
UPON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TYBEE ISLAND, GEORGIA, RECOGNIZING FURTHER
THAT HIS DEATH IS A DISTINCT LOSS TO THE CITY IN WHICH HE WORKED AND
WON DEEP RESPECT AND AFFECTION. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THIS
RESOLUTION BE SPREAD UPON THE MINUTES OF THE COUNCIL AND A COPY THERE-
OF BE PRESENTED TO HIS WIFE, MRS. SARAH PIERPONT BOND, IN RECOGNITION
OF REVEREND BOND'S RESPECTED PLACE IN THIS COMMUNITY.
Councilman Fleetwood then moved the adoption of the resolution,
Councilman Owen seconded and it was passed unanimously.
Mayor Counihan then called on any visitors who wished to speak

The minutes of the meeting of March 12, 1980 were approved
as written.
The following Communications were read: (1) a letter from
Congressman Ginn dated April 1, 1980 concerning the possibility of
a general meeting on beach erosion control, (2) three letters from
Dr. Delmar Dunn of the Institute of Government, University of Georgia,
in Athens commending the following city employees for successful
completion of 100 hours of study toward a certification in municipal
clerks and finance officers courses: Mrs. Phyllis L. Cary, Mrs. Barbara
G. Pelli and Mrs. Rowena B. Fripp, and (3) a telegram from the Mayor
and Council to the Department of Energy requesting that the bann on
weekend boating not be adopted.
Councilman Alexander then made the following report for the
Public Works Committee: Mr. Jack Barfield, low bidder for the drainage
project in the 17th Street area is due to begin work on or about
April 21, 1980. The project is scheduled for completion within thirty
days. He also reported that Mr. Kole of Builderama has again offered
the city litter barrels for use on the beach and these are gratefully
accepted.
The following bills were approved for payment: for General
Government - $1652.97, Sewer Department - $6,577.10, Water Department -
$1,859.13, Parking Meter Department - $247.53, Police Department -
$1702.19, Fire Department - $181.56, Sanitation Department - $691.26,
Public Works - $5,985.25, Ceramics - $24.35, Recreation Department -
$127.64 (Mr. Bettencourt, Recreation Chairman, asked for a delay in
approving his department's expenditures so that he could check them
more carefully; he approved them prior to the end of the meeting.)
35
In addition, other expenses in the amouiit of $488.39 were approved,
and capital expenditures in the amount of $3,073.05.
Mayor Counihan then recognized Mr. Robert Ratchford, who
came in too late to appear during the beginning of the meeting.
Mr. Ratchford came to ask Council to amend his petition for a map
mendment from a request for R -T to a request for a PUD (Planned
Unit Development). He was told that this petition will be heard
at the next regular council meeting.
Mayor Counihan then stated that the first item on today's
agenda had been the resolution honoring Reverend Bond, which he had
read and presented to Mrs. Bond at the beginning of the meeting.
He spoke a few words concerning his personal sorrow at Reverend
Bond's death and called for a moment of silent prayer for the family.
The Second Reading of the retirement ordinance was postponed
so that the finance committee and the city attorney can study an
alternate retirement program recommended by Councilman Fleetwood,
Chairman of the Finance /General Government Committee.
A contract for a master plan for Memorial Park, needed under
the provisions of the recreation grant, was explained by Councilman
Bettencourt. Mr. Bettencourt then moved that the contract, in the
amount of $4,350.00, be accepted. There was no second; therefore
the motion died.
Councilman Fleetwood then offered for Council's consideration
a contract in the amount of $32,605.00 for adding 178 spaces to the
North Beach parking lot. He stated that the same contract in 1978
totalled $28,648.92, but that inflation has caused this rise in cost.
He stated that he believes that Porter Contracting Company has held
35
the price as low as possible, but tha the new contract was needed
as the time had run out on the proposal from 1979, which had been
accepted by Council. After discussion, Councilman Fleetwood moved
acceptance of the contract, Councilman Jung seconded and the vote
was unanimously in favor.
Councilman Fleetwood explained the proposed budget
for FY 81, stating that each member of Council had been consulted
about his department, and that changes can be made by Council during
the year if the necessity arises. Mr. Jung moved acceptance of the
budget, Councilman Owen seconded and the vote was unanimously in
favor of adoption.
Councilman Bettencourt then stated that he has a pro -
posal for a study and grant application for a library annex. The
architect's proposal totals $4500.00 and would include preliminary
drawings and data necessary for the grant application. Councilman
Fleetwood stated that the city cannot afford to build a library at
present, even with the help of a state grant. After some more dis-
cussion, Mayor Counihan accepted Councilman Bettencourt's report as
information and no vote was taken.
Mayor Counihan then welcomed Councilwoman Karen Losey
back to Council, congratulating her on her recovery.
There being no further business, the meeting was ad-
journed.
