MAYOR FLOOD EXPLAINED THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE SPECIAL EMERGENCY MEETING WAS TO
ALLOW MR. GENE HARRIS, THE NEWLY APPOINTED BUILDING OFFICIAL, TO BRING SOMETHING
TO THE COUNCIL.
MR. HARRIS STATED THAT DURING THE COURSE OF HIS INTERVIEW ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22,
HE MENTIONED THAT HE HAD A BUSINESS CALLED "CONSTRUCTION SERVICES." AFTER ALOT
OF CONSIDERATION AND PERSONAL THOUGHT, HE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS
BUSINESS. SINCE THE TYPE OF WORK INVOLVES DRAWING PLANS FOR BUILDERS, ETC. , IT
WOULD BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH THE JOB OF BUILDING OFFICIAL AND HE THOUGHT
IT WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF HIMSELF AND OTHERS TO DECLINE THE BUILDING
OFFICIAL JOB, SINCE THERE IS ANOTHER QUALIFIED PERSON AVAILABLE, HE DID NOT
THINK THIS WOULD CREATE A HARDSHIP. HE EXPRESSED HIS DEEPEST THANKS FOR THE VOTE
OF CONFIDENCE AND WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE SERVING THE CITY WHEREVER THERE WOULD
BE NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST.~ -- C---~ ~

THE FIRST METHODIST OF SEBASTIAN - LOTS 3,4 AND 5 IN SCHOOL PARK SUBDIVISION IN
EXCHANGE FOR ALL OF BLOCK A SHOWN IN PLAT BOOK 3, PAGE 12, RECORDS OF ST. LUCIE
COUNTY, PROPERTY BEING PART OF LOT 6, SEC. 6, TOWNSHIP 31, SOUTH R39E AND LOT 16
A.G. ROSE SUBDIVISION. THE CHURCH HAS NOW SOLD THE PARSONAGE AND REQUESTED THE
CITY TO SIGN A QUIT CLAIM DEED. ATTORNEY KILBRIDE EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS A
DEED RESTRICTION THAT THE PROPERTY COULD ONLY BE USED FOR A CHURCH OR PARSONAGE
AND THERE WAS NO REVERTER CLAUSE. NORMALLY, WHEN THIS IS DONE AND YOU WANT THE

FULL VALUE IN 1946. IN ORDER FOR THE CHURCH TO GIVE TITLE TO THE BUYER, THEY
NEED A QUIT CLAIM DEED FROM THE CITY.
