Town Manager's Report:
Mr. James' petition for relief from the Community Appearance
Board's decision regarding Lots 4 and *~ East was discussed.
Also discussed was the retaining wall plan and the opinion was
that if the retaining wall is part of the building, it goes
with the building plans and does not need separate approval.
• The hourly fee for the Town Attorney was discussed. Presently
it is $62.00 per hour and billed by 15 minute segments. The
attorney has not asked for an increase this year.
The unsold Malayan palm trees are being sold at $8.00 each, as
was announced in the September Bulletin.
It was decided not to get a postage meter for the contract Post
Office, due to the cost.
Recent new voter registration cards received from the Supervisor
of Elections Office contained an error. The Town Commission
said it was all right to send corrected cards after the November
election. They were not happy that this error caused taxpayers
an extra expense and they should be notified by letter.

October 28 to 30, 1982.

Page 2 of 3
The Town Commission felt that the Town should not participate
in the irrigation device testing program with some other
municipalities.
The Town Manager is working on a consent agenda, revisions to
the workshop and regular meeting agendas, and a Town Commission
action report. Mayor Horton asked that Commissioner Sullivan
work with the Town Manager on the new agenda format and help
coordinate the attorney's time, regarding matters warranting
his attention.
The consensus was that the Town Commission has no objection
to the building inspectors being certified.
•
A letter from Daytona Beach Shores was read stating that they
objected to how the 1/2 cent sales tax is distributed among
the cities and municipalities. It is presently based on
population.
The University of Florida population count for the Town is
being questioned. Their count is 2354, but the Town presently
has 2900 dwelling units. This count determines Federal
Revenue Sharing money distribution.
(End of Town Manager's Report)

be handling our Comprehensive Plan work.

on the September 7, 1982 Regular Meeting Agenda and plans
