REGULAR CITY COUNCIL ~EETING
JUNE 5, 1967
PUBLIC AUDIENCE:

as a constant critic according to the n~3spapers; that Mr.
Fruda is not acting as a substitute City Attorney, he is
acting as City Attorney in the absence of ~. Joseph
I~umphrey, who as we all know is in Tallahassee. Mr. Fruda
is doing a very good job. Regarding the access to Sun-
shine State Parkway, Mrs. Jackson advised that if there
are too mawr access roads leading onto the Parkway~ it
could possibly cause more accidents, and we don't want that
to happen.

Further Consideration of Adopting County
~eqis_~ration Books for City Elections:
City Clerk advised that on April 11, 1966 Resolution 66-R
was adopted regarding permanent voter registration requir-
ing only one registration using County Books. There ls
only one advantage and that is 1 registration card. The
County requires 8 precincts, whereas the City requires
only 2. ~neCounty requires 13 voting machines and the
City nonually uses 7 machines. The County system would
require 6 clerks, 6 deputies and 6 poll workers. The City
requires 2 clerks, 2 deputies and approximately 16 poll
workers. The cost is much less using the City method.
