Mr. Webb stated that he and Mr. Roth had been st dying the drainage problem for the Collins Avenue and Harbour Way area. He said one contractor had given him a rough figure of $22,000.00 for laying 950 feet of 27" con- crete pipe and 6 catch basins from Collins Avenue to he pumping station. He said that consideration was being given to the instal ation of an electric motor at the pumping station and the underground cables to operate this electric motor would have to run from the nearest transformer vault and would cost about $4,500.00. The exact cost of the electric motor has not been ascertained as yet. This motor would make the operation automatic and would keep the lines free of tidewater before a severe rain. The entire cost of this improvement would be in the neighborhood of $35,000.00. It was suggested that possibly the State could be contacted to improve their system and Mr. Webb said that the State Engineers design only for the road run off and some of the water comes from hotel property. Mr. Hart asked Mr. Taplin to work with Mr. Webb on possible solutions to this problem as he realized that the hotel and apartment owners along Collins Avenue were gravely concerned. He suggested October 30, 1965 222 that Mr. Webb prepare an outline for the Councilmen to study on the possible solutions to this flooding problem. Mr. Webb stated that the Humane Society had given us a price of $100.00 per month for the pick up of stray animals. The Council decided to table this. Mr. Webb reported that to balance the department accounts for the end of the fiscal year $500.00 had been transferred from Dept. 02 to Dept. 05G, and $1,800.00 from Dept. 06 to Dept. 07. On motion of mr. Taplin, seconded by mr. White, the action was approved. mr. Brooks from Hoover Awning Company appeared before the Council to ask that they reconsider the awning for the Camelot Hall which had been turned down at the last meeting. He explained that the building had a sun and weather pro- blem and asked that the Council grant a variance and allow this awning to ex- tend into the front set back area. After discussion, on motion of Mr. Landis, seconded by mr. White and unanimously voted, the permit was denied. Applications for Taxi Permits were considered for Morse Taxi and Baggage Transfer 16; North Beach Yellow Cab Company 15; and Surf Cab, Inc. 15. On motion of Mr. White, seconded by Mr. Landis and unanimously voted, the permits were granted. An application for a limousine Permit by Red Top Sedan Service was granted on motion of Mr. White, seconded by Mr. Taplin and unanimously voted. Mr. Webb said he would like to discuss with the Council the status of holidays for the employees. He said that the Council had set seven holidays per year, but now that we have some Jewish employees, they were receiving ten per year. Mr. Taplin said he thought it was two religous holidays that were granted to these employees. The Council felt this was an administrative mat- ter and as long as it was not abused, it would not be necessary to make a definite ruling on it. The Village Manager explained to the Council Lhat when he was preparing the 1965-66 Budget, he was not able to give most of the employees any raises without raising the millage. However, at the end of last fiscal year there was a surplus and asked that some of this money be allocated to salary raises. Mr. Anderson said he would like to suggest that some of this surplus be used to reduce taxes next year and Mr. Webb explained that this would depend on the Metro assessments for 1966 as all assessing and collecting would be done by them as of that date. Mr. Landis said that often pay increases are the only way an employee has of knowing that his work is appreciated and moved that salary increases be given to the employees as suggested by the Village Manager. The motion was seconded by Mr. Taplin and unanimously voted. Mr. Webb said the auditor had completed the audit of the fiscal year ending September 30, 1965, and he had some copies if the Councilmen wished to see it. He said it would go to the printers next week. The Councilmen were then given their salaries of $1.00 each for the past fiscal year. Mr. Webb informed the Council that a limousine was operating from the Beau Rivage and that the Doorman had not filed for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity at the September meeting through a misunderstanding on the Doorman's part. The Council decided to allow him to operate this October 30, 1965 223 winter until he could make a proper application in March of 1966. Mr. Webb explained that there are some inequities in the Occupational License Ordinance and asked if the Council would consider revision of some of the fees. The Council agreed that some of the license fees could be revised. Mr. White asked if it would be possible to close some of the street entrances into the Village after a certain hour at night and Mr. Webb stated this was a Club matter and the Village would have no jurisdiction over this. On motion of Mr. Taplin, seconded by Mr. Landis and unanimously voted, the meeting was adjourned.

On motion of Mr. Landis, seconded by Mr. White, the minutes of the pre- vious meeting of October 30, 1965, were 'approved as submitted. Rev. John Yenches, pastor of the Church By The Sea, appeared before the council and stated that they are ,opposed to the construction of an additional sidewalk along 96" Street as it will necessitate the removal of their circular driveway which is essential for church services and deprive them of the trees and grass which they badly need. He said that inasmuch as the business sec- tion parking lot, the Church and the Village Ha11 front on 96th Street, he didn't think it was necessary to have a master landscaping plan for the street. He informed the council that the Church has hired Mr. Stone, the architect who is doing the shopping center's landscaping plan, and asked that they defer November 27, 1965
