Mr. Stanley Whitman appeared before the Council to ask for
a variance in the business section to allow a 17 foot project-

tion Mr. White moved that when plans and working drawings in

It was the decision of the City of Miami Beach that our con-

would allow us to pump 150O gallons per minute through their
system. The contract will be considered by the City of Miami

of false arrest. This would have to be placed with Lloyds for
a 850O.00 minimum nremitun. Mr. Andersen exnlnined that this
has become a serious situation as the Courts have ruled against
municipal immunity in some recent cases and thought the Village
should .sernrn this nrntertion. He said Miami Shores had re-
cently become insured. On rnotion of Mr. White, seconded by Mr.
