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 before Council; there were none and the meeting was opened for business legally presented. 1 1 1 34 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.
