' HEARING
Mr. Donald Kazimir, 106 Gulfstream Road, said the amount of COMMENTS FROM
the expenditure for the boat for waterway patrol seemed THE PUBLIC
excessive to him. He felt a smaller, less expensive boat would
do the job.
Mr. Frank Hurst, 629 Inlet Road, said he had heard we are
looking for a 22 ft. boat. His opinion is that a 17 ft. or 18
ft. boat is sufficient for patrolling our waters.
Mayor Valente informed Messrs. Kazimir and Hurst that we are not MAYOR VALENTE'S
here tonight to discuss the size of the boat to be used in our COMMENTS
waterway patrol program. What needs to be addressed tonight is
the fact that we are spending money that is not a budgeted item,
transferring it from surplus to another account and, according to
law, we cannot do this without having a Public Hearing first.
Thereafter we will decide if we will, or will not, fund the
waterway patrol program. `
There were no comments from the Council concerning Bill No. NO COMMENTS
509 at the Public Hearing. FROM COUNCIL
' There being no further business to come before the Council, the ADJOURNMENT
