Mr. Burrell, Mr. Knowles and Mr. Harrison, representing the Water Authority, appeared before the Board in response to an invitation of the Board and gave a report on the program which has been under way by the Authority since June 1953, when this Authority was created by Special Act of the Legislature.  Mr. Burrell gave a report on the area comprised of Lake Eustis, Dora, and Apopka.  Mr. Harrison gave a report on the work being done in the south end of the county, and Mr. Knowles reported on Lake Harris and Lake Griffin.  Mr. Duncan suggested that the Board pass a resolution commending the members of the Board of the Oklawaha Authority for the splendid work they have done; WHEREUPON, on a motion by Commr. Theus, seconded by Commr. Bishop and unanimously carried, the following resolution was adopted:

WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Lake County are aware of and recognize the problems which have been confronted by the Oklawaha Basin Recreation and Water Conservation and Control Authority and especially the unprecedented rainfall causing a raising of water levels in lakes and water reservoirs to a dangerously high level; and this Board is aware of the appeals and demands upon the Oklawaha Basin Water Authority for relief, but that some of the demands for relief cannot now be granted because of the resulting damage which would occur if such demands were granted;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Lake County, Florida, that this Board does commend the Oklawaha Basin Recreation and Water Conservation and Control Authority for the manner in which it has met the serious water problems arising both from droughts and from excessive rainfall, that this Board does further commend the Oklawaha Basin Water Authority for its constructive planning and for the great progress which has been made in the control of water in Lake County, and that this Board does further state that the Oklawaha Basin Water Authority will continue to receive the cooperation of this Board in the proper administration of water problems in Lake County.

Mr. Duncan reported that the Judge is taking the civil case regarding Jack Hooten under advisement.  Commr.

Bishop stated his first Commission states “during the suspension,” and the second Commission states “until the first Monday of January 1961.”

Mr. Duncan filed a report of M. H. Edge, owner of Riverest on Dora Canal, showing the number of boats traveling on the Dora Canal the weekend of August 1st and 2nd, which was very rainy, as 200 boats; the weekend of August 8th and 9th was over 300 boats, regardless of the rain.  The speed of the boats in many cases is excessive, and the wash from the boats is very damaging to the waterfront.  We have lost six feet in some places along our property, and farther down the canal, the trees are becoming undermined, as this week a large pine fell.

Clerk Owens was requested to write the Secretary of State for a copy of the new plat law.

Mr. Duncan reported that the property near Howey which Thomas Blitch deeded to Lake County was not recorded in the name of Blitch Company Inc., and taxes for several years are not paid – city and county taxes; therefore, Clerk Owens notified the bank to place a stop payment on the $1,500 check issued to Blitch Company on July 31, 1959.

Mr. Duncan reported that the Town Council of the Town of Tavares had assured him that the Town would take into the town limits the property being considered for the Lake County Center, but while he was gone to New York, the Town Council passed a resolution not to take the property into the town limits.  Therefore, we will have to consider other property.  Mr. Theus suggested that the Board look into the purchasing of the blocks around the Courthouse for the Lake County Center.

Mr. Duncan gave a report on the procedure of building a jail which he had discussed with Mr. John Trimble, a bond attorney in New York.  He said Mr. Trimble said the bond buyers will give a better rate if the Board authorizes the levy of the full five mills authorized by statute.  Therefore, Mr. Duncan suggested cancelling the meeting set for Monday, August 24, at ten o’clock a.m. for the purpose of considering a building tax in an amount not to exceed ten years and call for levying a maximum of five mills authorized by statute with the understanding the levy would not exceed the tax required to pay the bonds or certificates of indebtedness to be considered at a later meeting; WHEREUPON, on a motion by Commr. Theus, seconded by Commr. Cross and carried, Clerk Owens was authorized to have published the following Notice:
