Mr. Webb said he and lir. Anderson had been in contact with the Florida
Power and Light Company and an exhaustive search had been made to try and find
the easement that should have been executed by the Diocese of St. Augustine in
1946 for the water line at 87th Terrace. As we had not been successful in finding
the easement, he wished to inform the Council that we would have to pay the cost
of moving our line around the Florida Power and light sub -station and also
secure an easement from the Diocese of Miami for the line now running through
their property. He had instructed the Florida Power and Light Company to go
ahead and build over our existing line and as soon as our secondary source of
water has been connected, we will move our line around their property.
The Council was informed that our present group carrier for Health and Life
Insurance had raised the contract price and that by putting the group out for
bids again had been able to secure coverage with the General American Life
Insurance Company at the same rate with no reductions in benefits.
The Clerk told the members that at the close of the books for the fiscal
year, the transfers approved by them to balance the various departments had

These amounts were transferred to Department 02 - i3,40l.00; Department 06 -
51,100.00; and Department 07 - 1,900.00. On motion of Mr. Faulkner,
seconded by Mr. White, and voted, the transfers were approved.
Mr. Webb said that last year the employees had tried to set up a Credit
Union, but had learned that we did not have enough employees to form a group.
This year he talked to the Managers of Bay Harbor Islands and Surfside and
they agreed to join with us in a Credit Union. A meeting was held at which
time those present agreed to apply for a Federal Charter and an application
was made. He said he would like the Council's permission to set up a payroll
deduction for contributions to the Credit Union. There were no objections to
this.
Mr. Taplin asked what was the status of the drainage on Collins Avenue.
Mr. Webb said that it wis in this year's State Road Department budget and that
the money would have to be expended and the work done before next June. He
presumed the engineering would be completed and the job put out for bids within
the next three to four months.
