of $30,000.00 are reserved in the Public Projects Fund for this purpose.
The City ~mnager then presented a letter of September 23, 194~, from Wesley Bintz
Swimming Pool Engineer, in which he submitted an estimated cost of ~60,OOO.00 to con-
struct the swimming pool under the present day labor and material costs.
Thereupon after considerable discussion and in view of the fact that the estimated
cost of constructing the proposed swimming pool exceeds the available funds by approxi-
mately ~30,O00.O0, it w~s the opinion of the Commission that the City could not undertake
its construction without the necess~ry funds being available.

~eeler & Company, Orlando, that the City does not have authority to issue revenue certif-
icates to finance the cost of resurfacing streets without a referendum vote of the free-
holders, stating that the City Attorney had also concurred in their opinion.
Thereupon after a further discussion of ways and means of financing the proposed
street resurfacing project, the City Han~er was authorized to apply to the local banks
for s loan in amount of $40,000.00, under authority granted the City by Special Act of
19hl Legislature, Chapter 21520, Laws of Florida, aut~orizing the City to borrow the sum
of not more than ~40,O00.00 at any one time, to be repaid in not more than four years.
Consideration w~s then given to resurfacing the streets that are in the worst state
Of repair wl~ the limited amount of funds that will be available for financing the cost.
Thereupon after considerable discussion and careful study of the estimated cost
of resurfacing the wrlous streets, the C[ty !lsnager was autnorlzed to prepare the plans
