Council approves final readings for three ordinances vacating right-of-way segments
Summary
During a brief session, the council approved final readings for three ordinances that vacate certain alleys and unapproved platted street segments; public hearings were opened for each item and no members of the public spoke.
The council approved final readings for three ordinances related to public rights-of-way and vacated street or alley segments during a short session. The chair read each ordinance into the record, opened a public hearing for each item, and — seeing no public speakers — called for motions that were adopted by voice vote.
The ordinances address two separate sets of parcels. Ordinance 1559 would vacate “a certain unnamed alley lying between lots 1, 3, 5, and 2 within Block 19” of the Streator Manor subdivision as recorded in Sumter County public records. Ordinance 1560 describes vacation of portions of Lincoln Street Avenue Southwest (between blocks 15 and 16), Taylor Street Avenue Southwest (between blocks 14 and 15) and Jones Street Southwest (between blocks 15 and 18) as recorded on the railroad subdivision plat in Suwannee County. The transcript also records that Ordinance 1558 had been approved earlier in the meeting.
The chair announced each action to the meeting: “All right, final reading of ordinance 1559 is approved,” and later repeated a similar announcement after the final reading of Ordinance 1560. For Ordinance 1559 the transcript records a motion, a second and a voice vote but does not record the names of the mover or seconder. For Ordinance 1560 the transcript records that the second was provided by Mr. Jefferson; the mover is not identified in the record. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript; approvals were recorded by vocal “aye” responses.

The meeting opened public hearings for both 1559 and 1560 and recorded no public comments. After handling the ordinances, a motion to adjourn was made and carried.
Clarifying details from the transcript: - Ordinance numbers and references: the transcript uses “1560” in one place and “15-60” in another; the mover identity for the 1560 motion is not recorded. - Jurisdiction names: the ordinance text read into the record references the City of Wildwood for Ordinance 1559 and later the City of Lawtey for Ordinance 1560; those jurisdiction names are reproduced as spoken in the transcript. - Legal descriptions: the transcript includes plat citations (Streator Manor subdivision, dated September 1935) and county records (Sumter County, Suwannee County) as given in the readings.
The meeting transcript does not record formal roll-call tallies, specific mover names for two of the motions, or any public testimony. The council adjourned after completing the listed business.
