Also present were W. H. Webb, Village Manager; Mary T.

Mr. Webb advised that this meeting was called in order that
some action be taken immediately on the financing for the proposed
extension of the sewer and water systems. He disclosed that since
the last meeting, the Federal Agency of the Accelerated Public Works
Program in Atlanta had advised that no more funds are earmarked for
this program and unless more monies are allocated, new projects will
not be accepted. He reiterated that work must be started immediate—
ly in order that this sewer and water project be completed by next
se,7son. In this connection he called upon Mr. Anderson to state his
views on financing. Mr. Anderson stated that in order to supply
the money for this project, we could issue revenue certificates
which reflect no general obligation to the Village but are issued
for a special purpose and payable from this revenue and pledged
revenue sources only. As far as the projects are concerned, an
increase in rates for all water users could be made. Mr. Anderson
also advised that the funds received from the Florida Power 8
Light Co. franchise could be pledged and Mr. Webb interjected at
this point that the proceeds of the cigarette tax rebate from the
State of Florida could be pledged for the sewer project. Mr. Roth
and,Mr. Whittaker of Zurwelle—Whittaker, Inc. were asked about the
time element involved in the bids. Mr. Roth stated that if the
project was to be completed by next season, the contract should be
awarded no later than May 7th, 1964. Mr. Hart moved that the
Council agrees on the necessity of the extension of the sewer sys—
tem and existing.water mains at a cost not exceeding $400,000,
the Village Engineers be authorized to proceed with their plans
and specifications to be put out for bids and that the Village
Manager be authorized to explore the possibilities of financing
and to order some of the basic pump and electrical equipment
needed on the job as requested by the Village Engineers. Motion
seconded by Mr. White and unanimously approved. It was further
recommended that Mr. Webb secure two or three different choices
of interest for the financing and these be presented at the next
regular meeting. Mr. Anderson would investigate the Charter and
prepare the necessary resolutions in time for the February 29th
Council Meeting.
Mr. Hart made a motion to adjourn. Motion seconded
