The Council of Sal Harbour Village met November 27, 1965, at 9:30 A. M.
at the Village Hall.
Present were: Messrs. Hart, Landis and White.
Absent: Messrs. Faulkner and Taplin.
Also present were W. H. Webb, Village Manager; Mary T. Wetterer, Village
Clerk; and Herbert Nadeau representing Thomas Anderson, Village Attorney.
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 .apposed to the construction of an additional
sidewalk along 96v' 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 Hall front on 96ei 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

action on the building of this sidewalk until studying these sketches. He
also said the Church was against paying for a sidewalk which they didn't
want and weren't consulted on. mr. Webb told him that the Church was not
being assessed for the sidewalk and it was part of the master plan for the
village. He said the narrow walk which exists now is primarily for loading
and is too close to traffic on 96th Street for the safety of the pedestrians.
Rev. Yenches pointed out that he thought they should be consulted on matters
which affect the Church and that they had not been informed of the change
in the grad on the roadway east of the Church or given notice of any council
meeting when matters affecting the Church were discussed. mr. Webb informed
the Council that the work being done is by a private individual on his own
land and he saw no reason why the Church would be consulted on matters like
this. He suggested that the council could vote not to build the sidewalk
in front of the Church property, but mayor Hart said he would prefer to go
over to the church property to see the situation before taking any action.
He asked the Village Clerk to notify the Church and the owners. of Sal Harbour
Shops of the date of the next council meeting. Mr. Landis moved to table
this matter until the next meeting.
The council then agreed that the December meeting would be held on
December 18th as the last Saturday of the month falls on Christmas Day.,,
Mr. Webb informed the council that mr. Roth is now studying the water
situation and storm drainage problem and making a study of the engineering
data received from North Miami Beach. The North Miami data should be in
our hands in a week or ten days. Mr. Roth has some tentative figures on the
flooding conditions which include putting the storm pumping station on an
electric motor rather than a manual gasoline operation. We need &gas
stand-by motor for the water booster station as we cannot pump when the
power is off. Mr. Roth then read a letter outlining their fees for the
various projects mentioned. For (1) Storm Sewers - 6% of project cost.
(2) Additional Water Pressure facilities and additional Storm Water Pumping
facilities - 10% of project cost. (3) Consulting Service in connection
with studies and negotiations of new water supply source - on the basis of
per diem basis of 2-4 times direct payroll costs. For construction resulting
from negotiations - 10% of such improvements. Any projects financed under
Federal or State aid and control z 20% of construction costs. For any pro-
jects abandoned, compensation would be on a per diem basis as stated above.
Mr. Webb said a tentative figure of the above construction would be $258,000
and that he had written the State Road Department, sending them Mr. Landis'
pictures of the Collins Avenue flooding, and had been informed that they
considered the matter serious and although there was no money in this year's
budget they thought` they might be able to get an appropriation for the next
budget. Mr. Hart asked the council to approve or reject the engineer's fee
proposal. 0n motion of Mr. White, seconded by Mr. Landis, and unanimously
voted the fee schedule of Zurwelle-Whittaker, Inc. was accepted.
Mr. Webb stated that he had already mentioned the status of 'the. North
Miami Beach water supply proposal and the status of the North Miami survey.
Mr. Landis said he wanted the council to know that there were some figures
available. That North Miami Beach is considering selling us water at 250
per 1000 gallons. Mr. Webb told him that actually this amount was a tenta-
tive engineer's suggestion and actually it was 250 per 1000 gallons plus
80 until the cost of North Miami Beach's 16" line to their reservoir is
amortized. He said all this will be taken into consideration in our en-
gineer's study.

Mr. Roth said he had just finished some preliminary figures for the storm '
drainage. For Collins Avenue, a 33" pipe increasing to a 60" at Baker's Haulover,
$169,000. In the residential area at Park Drive and Bal Cross Drive north and
south of Harbour Way, 4 storm sewers, $40,000. The storm sewer lift station at
the west end of Harbour Way including electric motors, electric service and
controls and some structural work, $10,000. The stand-by engine pumping unit
for pressure pumping, $20,000. A total of $239,000 plus $19,000 for the
engineer's fees which amounts to a total of $258,000. Mr. Webb said the council
should decide if they wish to go ahead with these projects and let Mr. Roth pre-
pare the plans and specifications. They will then have to be checked by mr. An-
derson and we will have to start thinking about bonds. As these will be General
Obligation bonds it will require an election. 0n motion of mr. Landis, seconded
by mr. White, and unanimously voted the engineers were authorized to proceed with
plans and specifications for these projects. mr. Landis said he would like to have
clarified the term "gasoline" used in connection with the stand-by motors. mr.
Roth said what he meant was that they would be operated by natural gas.
mr. Webb read Resolutions Qrom the local Chamber of Commerce and Bal Harbour
Resort Assn. asking that we do something to correct the flooding on Collins
Avenue. Mr. Hart asked the Village Manager to write them that the problem is
under study.
The Village manager asked the council to consider reimbursing employees for
education courses relative to their line of work. He said that after checking he
found that it is customary on completion of a course with a passing grade to pay
the tuition and the cost of the text book which then becomes the property of the
village. 0n motion of Mr. Landis, seconded by Mr. White, it was unanimously
voted to reimburse employees completing job related courses with".a passing grade
for tuition and text book.
A letter was read from Mayor Roosevelt of Miami Beach seeking information on
whether we have any cables for television franchised. Mr. Webb said he had
answered him that at the present time we didn't have any cables.
The Village manager then outlined a proposal he had from Motorola for
Walkie-Talkies for use by the Police and Fire Departments and the Maintenance
Superintendent. He said these are very durable units and will work on a radius
of about three miles. The bid cots for eight units at a cost of $5,611.00 and
can be purchased on a lease basis of $156.50 per month over a five year period.
It was suggested that some other local firms who handle this type of equipment
be contacted. 0n motion of Mr. Landis, seconded by Mr. White, and unanimously
voted Mr. Webb was authorized to purchase Walkie-Talkies for a fee not to
exceed $5,611.00.
Mr. Landis asked about re -call units that could be used by the detectives
and Mr. Webb said he wasn't familiar with these. Mr. Landis said Chief Oupuy
had some information on them and`mr. Webb said he would check into this.
The Village Manager said he would like to report that the employee's picnic
which was held on November 13th was attended by 159 people and that the Coke Fund
had paid $183.64 of the total cost of $320.59, the balance of $136.95 was charged
to the Mayor's Fund.
There being no further business on motion of Mr. Landis, seconded by Mr. White,
the meeting was adjourned.

The Council of Bal Harbour Village met Saturday, December 18, 1965,
at 9:30 A. M. in the Village Hall.
A11 the councilmen were present. Also present were W. H. Webb, Village
Manager and Mary T. Wetterer, Village Clerk.
On motion of Mr. White, seconded by Mr. Landis, the minutes of the
previous meeting of November 27, 1965, were approved as submitted.
Rev. John Yenches and Mr. Hale Printup of the Church By the Sea
appeared before the council regarding the sidewalk in front of the 96th
Street entrance to the church. Mr. Webb said it had been agreed to
delete this section of sidewalk from the overall plan. Rev. Yenches then
showed the council the landscape architect's renderings for the new treat-
ment of the church property and an overall sketch for 96th Street.
Mr. Jay Roth, Village Engineer, then presented each councilman a copy
of his report on the survey made by the North Miami Beach engineers' re-
lative to the possibility of supplying us with water. He went over the
report with the council and outlined their source of supply and the areas
served. To serve sal Harbour would necessitate a 16" water main to be
installed from their terminal point in motel row, an increase in the
capacity of their pumping station at the Intercoastal Waterway and if more
than 2.5 mgd were required by Bal Harbour an additional booster station
would be necessary to maintain proper pressure. The estimated cost of
extending their system to our booster station, not including the additional
booster station, would be $235,750.00. The cost to be amortized by an
80/1000 gal charge over a period of approximately four years. The regular
charge for water purchase to be 250/1000 gal. The proposed rate for
water after the four year period would be 250/1000 for the 1st 30mg.;
next 10 mg., 240; next 10 mg. 230; over 50 mg., 220. Mr. Roth mentioned
that the salt content in the supply which would serve Bal Harbour was
considerably higher than that of their other two plants or of the present
source of supply. However, it is still well within the accepted health
