Mayor Liddicott: Is there any old business? Mr. Jackson: That Ordinance on annexation has to be read. Mayor Liddicott: Mr. Vice-Mayor, will you take the chair. Mr. Fasulq then read Ordinance #17, which had been read at the previous meeting, May 3, 1960. It was moved by Mr. Jackson, seconded by Mr. Webster, that the Ordinance be adopted. Mr. FasulQ: All those in favor signify by the usual sign of aye. All those opposed. Hearing none, the ayes have it. Mayor Liddicott abstained from voting. Mayor Liddicott: I have a letter I would like to read relative to Mr. Williams' resignation. We asked him to reconsider, and in a letter of May 6, 1960, he says: "Dear Mayor Liddicott: I would be happy to reconsider my offer to resign as Engineer for the Village of North Orlando which was submitted as a courtesy. I would consider it an honor to remain as your permanent Village Engineer for as long as you desire to retain my services. I feel that we could very ably serve the Village through Mr. Driver, our Orlando Office Manager and Chief Sanitary Engineer. I have had considerable experience in the municipal field as Consulting City Engineer to the cities of Wilton Manors and Plantation, Florida, two young and rapidly growing communities in Broward County. The confidence in me that you and the Council have exhibited is very greatly appreciated. Very truly yours, Williams, Hatfield & Stoner, Inc. E. GexWilliams, Jr., P.E." And so, the Village has an engineer. Mayor Liddicott: Any other old business? Mr. Bigelow: I have a letter supplied by Southern Bell Telephone giving rates for Winter Park and Southern Bell broken down into business phones and residence phones - one party, two party and four party. I understand these to be the rates without the 10% sales tax. Most people are more interested in a four party than two party line. Winter Park phone, four party would be $7.05 a month plus 70 cents for sales tax. The rate is established by one-quarter miles from the base office, which is Winter Park. South of Longwood-Oviedo Road lines would be $7.05 and north of that would be another quarter mile, so theywould pay $7.20. From Sanford you would pay south of Longwood-Oviedo Road $4. 62. Mr. Webster: How much for a single phone from Winter Park. Mr. Bigelow: $15.05. From Sanford it would be $10.99. Mayor Liddicott: How are you making out on the survey, Mr. Bigelow!? Mr. Bigelow: I have contacted 91 families up to date and 82 are for Winter Park and 9 for Southern Bell. I would like to say that although we all - want free toll service, we would be foolish to jump at Winter Park. .-.. Mayor Liddicott: Some day we will be in a metropolitan area. Many groups are working on this thing. Mayor Liddicott: Is there any other new business? Several newcomers at this point introduced themselves and inquired about police and fire protection. Mr. Fasulo: I would like to make a motion that you write a letter to the former Clerk thanking her for all the fine work. Mayor Liddicott: I have already done that. If there is no further business to come before the meeting, the Chair will entertain a motion that we adjourn, but before we adjourn I would like to say that the Mayor is leaving P-- for a vacation and doubts he will be here for the next meeting, but Mr. Fasulo, our Vice- Mayor, will preside. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, ft ;1, I __I j J~/AA~/ (9..-,Ub~ '~/V-'--'~H. <f Ehzabeth S. Helmly Village Clerk ........
