Beatty, Faulkner, Hart, Kirkeby and White. Also present were W. H. Webb, Village Manager; Mary T. Wetterer, Village Clerk; and Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney. Mr. Webb reported that in accordance with the Council's wishes he had corresponded with Mr. Anderson as to the legality of setting up every Saturday as a legal meeting date for Council meetings. Mr. Anderson suggested the second Saturday and the last Saturday of each month as meeting days. After discussion it was decided to take action on this matter at the induction meeting. The Village Manager reported that the Village Attorney had checked to see if it was legal for Bal Harbour Village to use the Miami Beach Times in the publication of delinquent taxes. After discussion Mr. Faulkner moved to direct the Village Manager to publish the notice in the Miami Beach Times, it being found to comply with the state law. Mr. Hart seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved. Mr. Webb explained that several times a year the Americana Hotel uses the garage area under the convention hall as exhibition space. He presented a letter from the Americana requesting permission to use the garage area for conventions to be held May 24-30, 1963 and October 13-16, 1963. Mr. Kirkeby moved that the request be granted provided all fire requirements are met. Mr. Faulkner seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved. Mr. Webb advised the Council that the Blue Cross Insurance Company has been granted an increase in rates. He suggested that the Village stand the additional expense inasmuch as the employees had already contracted for a more expensive plan this year. It was pointed out that Mr. Kirkeby had elected to remain in his own group, which leaves an unexpended amount in the budget item. Mr. Hart and Mr. Faulkner suggested that the Councilmen drop out of the group and that the cost of the policies for the Councilmen could be used to make up the difference in the employees policies. Mr. White objected to this suggestion. After discussion Mr. Beatty moved that the Village pay the increase. Mr. Hart seconded the motion and it was unanimously carried. The Village Manager suggested that in view of the fact that the plans for a diagnostic clinic in the Bal Harbour Hotel had not worked out, to discourage further ideas of converting the hotels into spas, the diagnostic clinic section be removed from the Zoning Ordi— nance. Mr. Beatty moved that the section be removed and Mr. Anderson prepare an ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 83, seconded by Mr. Hart and unanimously voted. 147 The Village Clerk stated that at the close of registration for the April 2, 1963 election, there were 155 registered voters and asked that the list be approved. Mr. Hart moved to approve the voting list as submitted, seconded by Mr. Faulkner and unanimously approved. Mr. Webb advised the Council that on October 27, 1962 Mrs. Sanella Cauchois, widow of Mr. Jean Cauchois, had appeared before the Council requesting that in view of her husband's death, the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity of the Bal Harbour Limousine Company issued to Mr. Jean Cauchois be transferred to her. A temporary certificate was granted Mrs. Cauchois, good until March, 1963, at which time she was advised that a formal application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity should be made. The Village Clerk reported that Mrs. Cauchois' attorney had been notified that she must make this formal application on March 23, 1963. After deliberation, Mr. Faulkner moved that Mrs. Cauchois, having been previously advised that her Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity would expire if she didn't appear to validate her temporary certificate, be advised that her certificate and her permits would be canceled as of April 1, 1963. Mr. Kirkeby seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved. Mr. Webb advised the Council that since the Village started picking up the garbage and trash at the hotels in November, three of the hotels have been storing garbage and trash outside of the hotel instead of in the refrigerated garbage room and fire proof trash room provided for that purpose. He requested the Council to pass an ordi— nance controlling the storage of hotel trash and garbage. Mr. Hart moved to instruct the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance govern— ing the storing of garbage and trash in hotel trash and garbage rooms. Mr. Beatty seconded the motion and it was unanimously voted. There being no further business, on motion of Mr. Hart, seconded by Mr. Faulkner, the meeting was adjourned. ATTEST: r^// 2`:.
