He also stated that the Club had granted the Village a six-foot easement north of the present storm pumping station easement. Mr. Anderson said before the Council did anything about sealing the streets he wanted to make a study of the actual dedication on the record plat. He asked that the Village Manager send him a letter stating just what we planned to do so that he could study the situation. The Village Manager reported that he had answered a letter from State Road Board Member Chelsie Senerchia stating that we had hired an engineer to do some preliminary studies on the Collins Avenue Storm drainage, but has had no further word from him. Mr. Taplin asked if now possibly the Hotel Association and Chamber of Commerce could write letters regarding this project and the Council agreed that this might be helpful.

Mr. Webb said that he is unable to get an answer from the Dade County Tax Department as to how they arrived at the reduction granted to the Bal Harbour Regency Hotel on their personal property tax for 1965. On motion of Mr. Landis, seconded by Mr. Taplin and unanimously voted it was agreed to defer action on their request for a reduction from Bel Harbour until word could be received from Dade County, Mr. Webb reported that the Salute to Canada Week parade which we allowed to go through Bal Harbour and break up in the County Park had not been too successful due to poor staging and that some of the bands had dispersed in Bal Harbour and stayed in the center parkway until about 5:00 P. M. It was the opinion of the Council that this parade should not be permitted next year. Mr. Webb read a letter addressed to Mayor Hart from the Dade County Civil Defense Department asking that the officials write the Chairman of March 26, 1966 235 the Sub -Committee on Independent Office Appropriations expressing their. - support of the budget request for the Civil Defense Program.

He then explained how the expenditures for new cars and trucks are allocated in the budgets. Mr. Landis said he had received a copy of a letter from a Mr. Powers whose boat had been in distress and was pulled to the Haulover Docks by our Patrol Boat. He said he agreed with the action of the officers involved and thought that a letter should be sent backing up the officers' position in not taking them all the way to the boat launching ramp. Mr. Faulkner said he would write the litter. Mr. Taplin said he would like to discuss the matter of attracting younger people into the area by getting some tennis courts. He said that he realized that there was very little space where this could b d done, but that he felt it important. Mr. Webb reminded the Council that our local Chamber of Commerce group had been instrumental in getting Dade County to build the Par 3 Golf Course at Haulover Park and thought that this would be an ideal place for courts. Mr. Taplin said he would take this up with the Chamber of Commerce. On motion of Mr. Landis, seconded by Mr. Taplin, the meeting was adjourned.
