Councilman James Thriffiley stated, ?From what I understand the law isn?t going to affect the status of the yacht club.?	I
City Attorney Joseph Gex said, ?The ' city?s position hasn?t changed regarding the yacht club.?
Adams replied, ?Well if you don?t intend to enforce the law, then why impose it.?
?This ordinance subjects the officers of the yacht club to imprisonment and a $100-per-day fine. You're excepting the business district, we?re asking for the same consideration,? the attorney stated.
Henry Prevou, American I-egion Post No. 139 commander asked if the organization?s Washington Street fishing pier would be restricted.
Favre reported that piers and wharves are exempted from the ordinance.
Councilmen James Thriffiley, Gene-Taylor and Harry Farve voted for the law. Council President Wilmer 1 Seymour and Sheldon Seauzeneau opposed the action.
In a related matter, Bennett stated that as soon as signs are available, parking will be prohibited on the landward side of the boulevard from Demontluzin Street to Ulnar Av?nnp Bennett?s decision resulted from a
report by Thriffiley that automobiles are being parked on corners and driveways and vandalism is occuring in the area.

?Authorized Lewis-Eaton Partnership of Jackson to update a citywide 1978 sewerage, street, water and drainage system report to secure a Farmer?s Home Administration loan. The council stipulated the cost of the report is not to exceed $1,500, but if funds are secured the Jackson firm is guaranteed any FmHA funded engineering contracts. Thriffiley and Taylor opposed the agreement causing a 3-2 vote;
?Tabled proposals by Mississippi Power Co. and Coast Electric Power Association to sign contracts relieving the firms from any liability for damages or injury caused by the city?s four electric power generating windmills. Basically, the companies fear the windmills could shock their employees in the event of a power outage. But Omer DeBeaver, windmill project engineer, said such an accident could not happen due to safeguards in the generator?s design.

Council President Pete Benvenutti who suggested the hiring of Englehorn said, ?We need a legal decision, we need the minutes researched back to 1964.1 feel that Englehorn, since he was the former city clerk, should be able to do the job at a proposed salary of $5 per hour.?
? Sellier told the Council about his * property?s position for many years and mentioned the various commercial establishments in the area. 1	'
Vegas did indicate that if Mr. Sellier , had another potential tenant for his building, whey would call a meeting as '* soon as possible to act on his requ ^ Fred Wagner, council memby. mentioned the special usev ordinancey' which,was passed in recent months,by^j the city for the change in zqhing f6r.'tfj? specific business.
