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. ATTEST: Village Clerk COUNCIL MINUTES November 27, 1965 Mayor 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 November 27, 1965 224 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. November 27, 1965 225 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. November 27, 1965 226 ATTEST: Village Clerk COUNCIL MINUTES December 18, 1965 mayor 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 December 18, 1965
