the corporations that entered into the agreement with Bal Harbour
Village no longer exist and that the present owning corporation
may be in error in operating contrary to said agreement. After con—
siderable discussion it was decided that Mr. Webb should confer with
Mr. Edwin Kirkeby and his principals and report back to the Council
at its next meeting.
Mayor Hart explained to the Council that he and Mr. Webb
had recently attended a meeting with the County Engineers in the
Department of Public Works for an explanation of the conditions that
exist with regard to our filling operation at the North end. Mr.
Broeman suggested that Mr. Webb write a letter to the Mayor and
Council explaining what has transpired and what conditions now exist
with respect to our erosion project.
There being no further business before the Council on motion
of Mr. Faulkner, seconded by Mr. Beatty, the meeting adjourned.

The meeting was called to order by Assistant Mayor Broeman
and after the roll call the minutes of the meeting of December 17,
1960 were approved as submitted upon motion of Mr. Faulkner,
seconded by Mr. White and unanimously approved.
Mr. Webb informed the Council that Resolution No. 77 re—
questing the County Commission to extend the date of assessing
and collecting Bal Harbour Village taxes to January 1, 1962 had
been mailed to the attention of the Clerk of the Lounty Commission.
He further explained that a blanket extension had been given all
municipalities and the Village Clerk had received a copy of a letter
from County Attorney Darey Davis covering the matter. The Mayor
asked Mr. Anderson for his comments and he stated that he felt we
have been granted an individual exemption.
Assistant Mayor Broeman asked Mr. Webb if anything had been
done with regard to reviewing the Kenilworth Hotel Agreement with
Mr. Kirkeby. Whereupon Mr. Webb read a letter which was dated
January 10, 1961 and signed by Mr. Edwin 0. Kirkeby, Manager of the
Kenilworth. Said letter stated that the Kenilworth Hotel and the
Kenilworth House are still being operated by the corporation known
as Kirkeby Hotels, Inc. Inasmuch as there has been no change in
the management corporation it was the opinion of Mr. Webb and Mr.
Anderson that our agreement is still in force and effect.
Mr. Broeman asked Mr. Anderson for a report on the status
of the North Beach Yellow Cab suit. Mr. Anderson reported that a
hearing before Judge Floyd was held on January 13, 1961 regarding
the suit at which time the matter was taken under consideration
by the Judge who will render a decision at a later date.
The next item for consideration was our Civil Defense Plan.
Mr. Webb submitted to each Councilman a copy of a Civil Defense Plan
for Bal Harbour which has been worked out with Dade County Civil
Defense authorities. He stated that the plan will work both as a
method of handling a nuclear attack as well as a disaster plan for
hurricanes, etc. After discussion Mr. White moved that the plan be
put into effect. Mr. Faulkner seconded the motion and it was unani—
mously voted that the plan be approved as submitted.
Mr. Elliot S. Ryan, Manager of Bal Harbour Hotel, appeared
before the Council with the request that their sign now reading
Bal Harbour Hotel be changed to Bal Harbour Motor Hotel. Mr. Ryan
explained that he thought the change would help business. After
discussion the Council advised Mr. Ryan that his request would be
taken under advisement. After further discussion the Council
directed Mr. Webb to contact each hotel owner as to his reaction
to the change and check back with the Councilmen.

Mr. Webb explained that the Beau Rivage Hotel had gone into
receivership and a Mr. Larry J. Paskow is the court appointed re—
ceiver operating the hotel. The question of the liquor license
transfer necessitates Mr. Paskow filing an application with this
office and one of the requirements is that the officer handling
such a liquor concession bring in letters of reference. Mr. Anderson
was asked if in his opinion the court appointment was sufficient to
cover our ordinance requirement whereupon Mr. Anderson stated that
he felt inasmuch as Mr. Paskow was court appointed, that we could
forego the usual procedure in this case.
Copies of our Annual Financial Report were gone over by the
Councilmen and upon motion by Mr. Faulkner, seconded by Mr. White
the audit covering the fiscal year ending September 30, 1960 was
unanimously accepted.
Mr. Webb then advised the Council that our first quarterly
audit was ready for submission and after due study was accepted
upon motion by Mr. White, seconded by Mr. Faulkner and unanimously
approved.
The Village Clerk informed the Council that the Council Election
would be April 4, 1961 to elect representatives from Districts 3,
4 and 5. Petitions for the Office can be filed between February l7th
and March 14th.
There being no further business to come before the Council,
the meeting was adjourned upon motion by Mr. Faulkner, seconded by
Mr. White.
