Mayor Koch called the meeting to order. Mr. Hart moved that the

and the reading of these minutes be waived. Mr. LaPorte seconded the
motion. Motion passed.
Mr. Hart moved that the Financial Report for October, 1968 be approved

LaPorte seconded the motion. Motion passed.
Letters concerning the library tax were read. The Town Clerk was in-
structed to obtain costs for shelves in the Town Library.
A letter from Somerset Developers, Inc. concerning beach erosion was
read.
It was pointed out that a hearing called by the State Board of Conser-
vation was scheduled for November 20.
Mr. Iglehart said that he had talked with members of the Inlet commission
and he felt that a meeting involving them and the Town Commission and
George Frost might be helpful in ironing out some of the problems with
regard to the sand transfer plant at the inlet. It was agreed that
Mr. Iglehart attempt to arrange such a meeting.
Police reports for October were read.
The Town Clerk reported that Hardrives, Inc. had finished the drainage
work in the Old School Road and Polo Drive area and had submitted their
bill for the work. Their bid price was $2,742.00 but when the area was
surveyed and staked out it was found that the pipe could not be in-
stalled in a straight line to the lake but would have to be angled to
the lake. In line with this a junction box was required and the cost
for this was $90.00. This made the completed price for the work by
Hardrives, Inc. $2,832.00. Cost of this project was being paid for
completely by the surrounding property owners and this was within the
amount advanced by the property owners. The Commission then approved
payment of the bill.
Mayor Koch stated that he had received some complaints of cars being
parked on residential streets and creating traffic hazards. He re-
quested that this be mentioned in the Civic Association letter and
the residents instruct their help not to park on the streets.

been investing surplus cash in Treasury Bills and since money invested

There being no further business to come before the Commission, the
meeting was adjourned.

PLEASE REPLY TO:
West Palm Beach
Mrs. Eckler has referred to me for reply your letter
concerning the inclusion of property in the Town of Gulf Stream
in the taxing district to support the County Library System. In
our opinion the crucial date to determine whether or not property
should or should not be included in the taxing district was January
1, 1968, and, under the terms of the controlling statute, the
matter was not discretionary with the Board of County Commissioners.
In other words, unless a municipality had a municipal library on
January 1, 1968, the property in that municipality was required to
be included in the taxing district.
Your Mayor's letter of February 26, 1968, indicated that
the Town of Gulf Stream planned to establish a library, and so we
really had no choice in the matter.
In closing, I think it is appropriate to let you know
that the persons who have taken on the responsibility of establishing
the County Library System have consistently taken the position that
no municipality should be compelled to participate, and certainly
if the Town of Gulf Stream has proceeded with its library plans,
the Town should not be included in the taxing district next year.
I hope that the information set forth above will answer
your questions and suggest that you contact Herbert L. Gildan, Esq.
(832 -2869) of West Palm Beach in the event you need additional
information. Mr. Gildan has worked on a voluntary basis from the
outset in order to create the County Library System which many regard
as a very worth -while project. I am sure that he will be most willing
to talk with you so that in the future your Town's relationship with
the County Library System will be an entirely satisfactory one.
Very truly yours,
JONES, AMS OSTER

West Ealm Beach, Florida
Dear Mr. Gildan:
I am writing to advise you that the Town of
Gulf Stream as of this time does have a muni-
cipal library.
The current budget which was effective as of
October 1, 1968 provided funds for the library
and for the salary of a librarian.
In order that the Town's residents not be sub-
ject to a county library tax in the future, I
would like to know if you need any further in-
formation to act on this matter or if there is
anyone else that I should contact.
Thank you very much.
Yours very truly,
RICHARD F. WARD

To the Honorable Mayor
and Town Council
Town of Gulfstream
Gulfstream, Florida
Gentlemen:
GULFSTREAM, FLORIDA
October 23, 1968
This letter is to call your attention again to a
very serious erosion problem on the beaches in
Gulfstream, Florida. Since the completion of the
Somerset Apartments in March of 1967, this problem
has become worse and worse and we are now very
concerned with the possible loss, by erosion, of
our seawall.
This problem has been brought to my immediate
attention by newspaper articles which I have
recently read which indicate there is a pro-
bability that the sand transfer plant in the
Boynton Inlet will not be moved, and that the
sand which should be building up the beaches
on the south side of the inlet will not be
available.
For the protection of this and other most valuable
Gulfstream properties in the Town of Gulfstream,
I would appreciate your making every effort to
solve this problem of erosion on the beaches.
JJR /b
