The minutes of the previous meeting of May 17, 1954 were approved as
Mr. Webb read to the council a letter from Mr. Bargar stating that his

a Bill giving Bal Harbour the right to establish such a plan retroactive to
October 1, 1954. Further discussion on this was tabled temporarily.
The Village Manager stated that he had written to the sixteen lot owners
that he had not heard from regarding filling their low lots and had answers
from four. The council decided to tale this up again next month.
Ordinance No. 34 setting up the manager's salary was read to the council
and on motion of Mr. Stokely, seconded by Mr. Beatty the ordinance was unanimously
passed.
Mr. Webb told the council that he had been working on the budget and that
even with an increase of one mill on the tax roll he was approximately $8,500.00
short of balancing. After discussion on various items it was the opinion of
the council that perhaps for this year the pension plan and a system of amortizing
for equipment replacement would have to be set aside. It was agreed that the
salary for the village attorney would be raised to $150.00 per month for the coming
year.
Mr. Webb told the council that Mr. Anderson bad asked him if the village
would pay part of his expenses to the Municipal Law Officers Institute. He ex-
plained that Miami Shores and Miami Springs had agreed to help him with 'the
expense of the trip. After discussion it was agreed that Bal Harbour would
check with the other cities involved and contribute a share of the expenses with
a maximum of $100.00 to be taken from the account for legal fees.
A bulletin from the Florida League of Municipalities regarding Social
Security was read to the council and it was agreed that Mr. Webb would sand a
telegram to Senator Smathers stating that we were in favor of extending Social
Security to more city employees.
The problem of having a uniform cabana line on the oceanfront was discussed
by the council. After discussion it was moved by Mr. Stokely, seconded by Mr.
Beatty, and unanimously voted that Ordinance No. 35, amending the Zoning Ordinance,
setting up a uniform cabana building line on the oceanfront be adopted.
Mr. Webb explained to the council that a great many cities were setting up
ordinances governing the retention and destruction of public records. He said he
had prepared an ordinance to this effect. After discussion it was decided to
refer this ordinance to Mr. Anderson for study.
Dr. Leonard said that he had recevied a copy of a resolution passed by the
Miami City Commissioners asking that the Dade County legislators propose legis-
lation governing the sale and possession of firearms on a state level. There-
upon on motion of Mr. Beatty, seconded by Mr. Stokely, the council unanimously
voted to adopt a similar resolution, known as Resolution No. 24.
There being no further business before the meeting on motion duly made,
seconded and carried the meeting adjourned.
