that Bal Harbour pay part of the expenses involved when Mr.
Anderson, the Village Attorney, attends the Municipal Attorney's
conventions. After a general discussion, Mr. Broeman moved that
the Village pay one—fourth of Mr. Anderson's expenses; however,
said payment is not to exceed $150.00. Mr. White seconded the
motion and it was unanimously approved.
Mr. White stated that the people residing in the apartments
just north of the church were suffering from excessive amounts
of dust caused by cars parking on the unpaved lots near the church
during services on Sundays. Mayor Hart recommended that Mr. Broeman
and Mr. Faulkner serve as a committee to discuss the matter with
Mr. Whitman and try to work out some arrangement whereby the cats
could make use of the paved parking lot on Sundays.
Mr. Broeman suggested that a hose be purchased by the Village
to be used for pumping out boats at the yacht basin. Mr. Webb
explained that the Village was getting prices on an ejector
and would contact the Bal Harbour Club, Inc. to see if they would
purchase same.
There being no further business to be brought before the
Council, the meeting was adjourned upon motion by Mr. White
