by Assistant Mayor Faulkner.
Mr. Hart moved to accept the minutes of the meeting of
June 24, 1961 as submitted. Mr. Broeman seconded this motion and
it was unanimously approved.
Mr. Webb explained to the Council that at the April 22, 1961
Council meeting he had been given authority tc proceed with the con—
struction of the storm sewer pumping station and that motion had been
made that the work was to be paid for out of the contingency fund.

that the work was to be paid out of our surplus or the contingency
fund. Mr. Broeman moved to amend the previous motion as Mr. Webb had
suggested. Seconded by Mr. Hart and unanimously carried.
The next item of business on the agenda was the application
of the Red Top Sedan Service for a Certificate of Public Convenience
and Necessity which was filed on February 23, 1961. After requesting
the Railroad Commission to rule on the method of operation of the Red
Top Sedan Service in Bal Harbour, Mr. Anderson submitted a report to
the Council to the effect that the Village has no jurisdiction over
the operation of the Red Top Sedan Service in Bal Harbour. Mr. Broeman
stated that if the Village issued a Certificate of Public Convenience
and Necessity there is nothing to stop them from changing cabs to
limousines. After further discussion Mr. Hart moved that the check
be returned to the Red Top Sedan Service and that they be advised
that a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity would not be

carried.
Mr. Webb read a letter from Mrs. Elizabeth G. Melley,
Executive Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Surfside, Bal Harbour,
Bay Harbor Islands asking the Council to reconsider the proposed golf
course at Haulover Beach Park. The Council had given previous con—
sideration to this matter at the June 24, 1961 meeting and was of the
opinion that it was not appropriate at that time to request money from
the County Commission for the construction of a golf course. After
discussion Mr. Broeman moved that a resolution be written approving
the golf course which was seconded by Mr. Hart and unanimously voted.
Mr. Sol Taplin appeared before the Council regarding the
question of professional offices in the Harbour House. Mr. Taplin

dentists and other professional men and would like to have a ruling
by the Council. Mr. Hart moved that this type of operation not be
permitted. Mr. Broeman seconded the motion and it was unanimously
carried. Mr. Taplin stated that he would like to have a resident
physician and dentist for the convenience of the residents of the
Harbour House. After discussion the Council agreed that a house
physician in the Harbour House would be permitted.
