Two residents appeared before council from Security Mobile Home Park
inquireing about restrictions there. They stated there are renters
there when it was their understanding when they bought that there
would be no rentals. City Atty. Mike Hamlin said the restrictions
were by deed and they should get their abstract and check it. Said
they could hire someone to search records and see if there are any
restrictions in plat from the original developers to the buyers. He
stated they should see Clifford Freeman, developer of the Park about
the abstract.
Mr. Milner came to council representing Little League and expressed
appreciation for the work done in the past week. He stated the toilets
near the old barn were not working and inquired when new ones would be
ready for use so they could lock up old ones and keep new ones locked I
except during games. Comm. Reese said he would get on it next week.
Comm. Reese would like it to be understood that after he finishes
the bathrooms and turns over keys to the Little League as finished
that they would not expect any more work from him on the bathrooms if
the walls got marked up or the plumbing was ruined by the children.
Comm. Reese said " What agreement do I have if I put everything in
the restrooms and finish them up and then they are messed up, do I have
to redo them?" Atty. Hamlin said Comm. Reese would not be responsible
any further. Mr. Milner stated that once Little League accepts the
restrooms, from the moral and health standpoint, Reese's responsibility
was relieved. Comm. Reese also said the way the front door was drawn
on the blueprints, when it was open it would hide the overhead lights
and when you let the door down there would be no place to fasten it.
He would like to put sliding doors on steel rollers that would open
down each side of the wall and when closed would fasten in the middle.
This would not hide any lights and not interfere with any equipment
in the building. ~tr. Milner said this type door would be better since
they could put a rubber gasket along the floor under the door to keep
water from coming under when it rains. ~tr. ~lilner said this new door
would be satisfactory. 'Comm. Reese added that the shelf in the building
is to be extended six inches outside of wall of building, corners to be
rounded. Mr. ~lilner OK'd this as President of Little League.
~tr. Ray Meeks came before council with nine uniformed Boy Scouts from
Troop ~ 217 and two other Scoutmasters including 14r. Wilson and I~. I
McHenry to make a proposal and ask for help for the troop. He stated
the troop has been in operation in the City for 11 yrs. and this was
the first time they had appealed for help. The Boy Scouts would like
to do some work for the City in exchange for the City helping the troop
buy some camping tents. They don!t have the proper equipment to go on
camporees. The Boy Scouts are interested in helping better the qommu-
nity and help with the CP Telethon, March of Dimes and other proJects.

They ~re willing to do whatever work the City has for them. The Scout
catalog has a 4 man tent for $40 and if you buy 3 you get the 4th
tent 'free. Mayor Minor stated he is proud of the Boy Scouts and appre-
ciated what they have done in the past and recommended the City spend
up to $200 for tents for the Scouts. Comm. Reese put this in a motion
and Comm. Stinnett seconded. No. No's. Motion carried. Mr. Meeks
expressed their appreciation and said they would try to make the city
proud of the Boy Scouts.
~trs. Smith appeared to complain about the Lake Drive Trailer Park
behind her house which is on Silver Star Rd. She said they are bringing
in old trailers and hooking them up to the neighboring trailer's septic
tank and electricity. Mr. Reese said he will have the health dept.
and building inspector take care of it.
Johnny Arnold asked about license to run Taxi business with a franchise.
Comm. Vandergrift moved~ to give him a license when he has met the
other requirements for a Taxi license but no franchise. Comm. Stinnett
seconded. No No's. Motion Carried.
~tr. Gray of Aqua-Weed Control Corporation came to explain to Council
a method of getting rid of the algae in Starke Lake and Deep Lake. He
had talked to C. W. Sheffield, county pollution control officer and Dr.
Bob Blackburn at Plantation, Fla. about the problem. They all agreed
on the method for treating the problem and that it was the worst algae
they had ever seen. There is no elodea yet. There are several ways
the lakes could be treated but ~tr. Gray is in favor of using instant
copper sulphate that can be sprayed from boats. They will start at
the shoreline so the fish can move out to deeper water. They will
spray an,area, wait 7 days to see the results and move out to the deep
water to spray again. They will use heavier concentrate in the deeper
water and the fish can move into the shallow water. He has also brought
over ~tr. Kit Giles, Aquatic Field man for Chevron Chemical, to look
at the lakes. Mr. Grey cautioned the commissioners about boats brin-
ging in weeds and especially elodea on their propellors and trailers
from other lakes and starting a growth in our lakes. Aqua-Weed Control
charge for spraying the lakes would be $2,250 with the City furnishing
the chemicals. Their, charge is about $7.50 a surface acre. It would
take 4500 lbs. of copper sulphate at about 25.5 per lb., about $1,147.
They would,have to move their equipment in 2 times. It is believe this
algae growth came in via ~he canal cut from Deep Lake. Comm. Reese
motioned to ~cc~pt ~. Grays proposal if no one came up with another
bid by Friday~ Comm. Vandergrift seconded. No No's. ~otion carried.
Sid Reeves came to ask about zoning a lot commercial that he owns on
Silver Star Rd. between the railroad and Bluford on North side of
street. He has had an offer from Thriftway to buy the lot for a store.
Mayor Minor said the city would send a letter to the adjoining neigh-
bors to come to a meeting at city hall and give their views on it.
Comm. Reese stated the ex-mayor of Oakland,

it running'. The motor is frozen up now but
