Upon motion of Mr. Beatty, seconded by Mr. Faulkner,
the minutes of the previous meeting of September 24, 1960
were approved as submitted.
Mayor Hart said he would like to review for all present
the action of the Council at the meeting of September 24, 1960.
He stated that the Council had acted contrary to the provisions
of our Ordinance No. 68 in granting the permits and the Council
would now like to rescind their action and proceed according
to the provisions of the Ordinance. Thereupon, on motion of
Mr. Beatty, seconded by Mr. Faulkner, and unanimously voted,
all permits, with the exception of the three limousines, were
rescinded. Mayor Hart then asked for any comments from the
floor regarding the applications for permits to be issued under
the Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity issued to
Morse Taxi and Baggage Transfer, Inc., North Beach Yellow Cab
Company and Surf Cab, Inc., on September 24, 1960. Mr. Schroeder
stated the positon of Morse Taxi and Baggage Transfer and Mr.
E. Moore spoke for North Beach Yellow Cab Company. Mr. Carney
of Surf Cab Company said he had no comment for the Council re—
garding their application. Mayor Hart then asked the Village
Manager for his comments and Mr. Webb advised the letter that
he wrote to the Council last Spring still stands as far as he
is concerned and that he enumerated his recommendations in the
matter. He advised it was possible that he was in error in his
opinion of whether or not they were bound by the Metro Ordinance.
He stated he is still a little confused and would like to be
allowed to confer with Mr. Anderson next week to determine
whether or not we are limited to the 23 cabs that were in
existence at the time Metro passed their Ordinance. He said
that would have a definite bearing on what his recommendations
will be to the Council. His letter last Spring indicated he
had made a survey of the hotel situation and was of the opinion
that we needed the 46 cabs that he recommended at that time.
However, in that letter of recommendation to the Council, he
advised he did say that he did not want the 46 cabs in Bal
Harbour Village all at one time and would recommend a taxi
stand. Mayor Hart advised they would take this matter under
advisement and will give the Cab Companies an answer sometime
next week.
Mr. Webb then gave the Council tentative figures and
plans for a box culvert and drainage under the Harbour Way
Parks and suggested three different ideas to take care of
this matter.
1. Run a line 36"x22" parallel to the 29"x18" line
that is now there and enlarge the catch basins

and the manhole to take the water to the yacht basin
at an estimate price of $21,995.00.
2. Dig a ditch through the park system and lower the
grass down with a box culvert under club property.
3. A receiving room east of Bay Drive and have a
pump to push it on through to the Bay.
Inasmuch as the work would not take place until next Spring,
this matter was deferred to give the Village Manager time to get
more figures.
Mr. Webb advised there has been nothing further from Mr.
Taplin regarding the removal of the old seawall and suggested
that Resolution No. 76 be carried forward to another meeting.
U—Drive—It applications by Checker Rent—A—Car, the Hertz
Corporation and Morse Auto Rentals were considered by the Council
and Mr. Broeman moved to accept the U—Drive—It applications as
presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Faulkner and unanimously
adopted.
Mr. Webb explained that Bal Harbour Village could apply to
the Federal Government for reimbursement of expenditures in the
amount of $944.76 for storm damage if the Council would approve
a Resolution in this regard. After discussion, Mr. Anderson
said he felt that a Village such as Bal Harbour could afford to
take care of an item of this type without Federal aid. There—
upon, it was moved by Mr. Broeman, seconded by Mr. White, and
unanimously voted that the Village decline any aid for damages
caused by the hurricane during September.
Mr. Webb advised they have had difficulty with some of the
hotels in paying their water bills on time and would suggest
an amendment to Ordinance No. 50, which would add a paragraph
at the end of Section 3 to be worded as follows: "If at any
time the consumer's bill exceeds the amount of the deposit, the
Water Department reserves the right to demand an additional
deposit equal to twice the amount of any previous monthly bill
on that service". Motion was made by Mr. Faulkner, seconded
by Mr. White, and unanimously voted that the Village Manager's
recommendations be approved by adoption of an Amending Ordinance
as follows:
ORDINANCE NO. 80
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 50
OF BAL HARBOUR VILLAGE
There being no further business, on motion of Mr. Broeman,
seconded by Mr. Faulkner, the meeting was adjourned.
