that liquidated damages cease when architect says building can be used by the City. Motion seconded by Mr. Rigdont and carried unanimously. In discussion of item l5, Mr. Sconiers quoted actual costs for the City' s fire department J making runs to the Island and that status of how much had been paid by the Island for fire runs made for which they had been billed $50. 00 each. It was noted that rescue runs had been billed but the Island Authority had declined to pay for those. Mr. Rigdon noted that this continued service cost the Fort Walton Beach taxpayer 2l or 22, 000. 00 and suggested a donation from the Authority of a similar amount each year. It was noted that this would enable the City to get another vehicle and possibly 3 men and this addition to the equipment  211 would probably not affect the City' s fire rating for insurance.
