On motion of Mr. Walker, seconded by Mr. LaPorte, the Commission unanimously accepted the Financial Report for the Month of Novem- ber, 1971, as submitted. 4.

On motion of Mr. Walker, seconded by Mr. LaPorte, the Town Mana- ger was authorized, by unanimous Commission consent, to negotiate with an engineering firm for providing Construction Design Plans and Specifications for the improvement of that part of Polo Drive lying between Banyan and Old School Roads; and that portion of Banyan Road extending approximately 200 feet both east and west of its intersection with Polo Drive. Solicitation of competitive bids, based on such plans and specifications, will then be soli- cited. This action is the result of a Work Shop Meeting held on December 1st, at the Town Hall, between the Commission and owners of properties abutting on the above mentioned rights -of -way, at which meeting all of those property owners, in attendance, agreed upon sharing the cost of such improvement project with the Town on an equal basis, namely 50% of the total cost being borne by the Town and 50% of said cost to be borne by the owners of the abutting properties. - 2 - 6. The Southern Florida Flood Control District submitted a proposed Ordinance which provided for authorizing the Town Commission to Prohibit or Curtail certain uses of Water not essential to the Public Well Being during drought conditions, and further provid- ed penalties for violation of the regulations set forth therein. The Town's legal counsel commented that the 'Model Ordinance' was a very good instrument and the Town might not go wrong in its a- doption, especially with the wide discretion it gives the Commis- sion, but suggested that specific consideration of each of its provisions be given inasmuch as it may be that the penal pro- visions, which are perhaps necessary in a larger town or city, would be offensive to the townspeople of Gulf Stream. The Commission tabled this proposed Ordinance and directed that it be referred to the Planning Board for study and recommendation. 7. Proposed Emergency Ordinance No. 71 -3, providing for acceptance of NEW Regulations and Requirements created by the Federal Insurance Administration, Washington, D.C., in order to retain eligibility of the Town to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program, and with the knowledge that additional NEW Regulationa and Require- ments were soon to be forthcoming from the Federal Insurance Admin- istration, the Commission tabled the Ordinance for further study. 8. Ordinance No. 71 -4, providing for Renewal of the "Franchise Agree- ment" with the Southern Bell Telephone & Telepgraph Company, for a thirty (30) year period, was placed on first reading, on motion of Mr. LaPorte, seconded by Mr. Walker. Mr. Hoyle voted against the Ordinance being opposed to granting a thirty -year franchise. 9. Ordinance No. 71 -5, providing for certain Acts of Dogs, within the Town of Gulf Stream, to be determined a Nuisance, and further pro- viding Penalties for violations of the regulations set forth there- in, was placed on first reading, by unanimous consent of the Commis- sion, on motion of Mr. Walker and seconded by Mr. LaPorte. 10. Mr. Walker, the Police Commissioner, moved that there be established a Sergeant within the Police Department and that Officer James Brown be appointed as such, at no increase in pay. Motion was seconded by Mr. LaPorte and carried, Mr. Hoyle being opposed. 11. Mr. Walker moved that all employees of the Town be given a Christmas Bonus of $100.00. Motion was seconded by Mr. LaPorte and unanimous- ly carried. 12. Mr. LaPorte moved that the salary adjustment approved at the meeting of May 14th be confirmed and that a 5.5% increase in pay be granted to the Police and Sanitation Department employees. Motion seconded by Mr. Walker and unanimously carried. 3 13. The Town Manager informed the Commission, and those present at the Meeting, that he has been advised by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers that their office expects to consider Bids for again dredging the Intercoastal Waterway at an "Open- ing" of Bids in May, 1972, and further that such dredging would not commence prior to June, 1972. 14. Mr. LaPorte expressed the hope that Police Department Officers were maintaining a close check on operators of any nature or occupation within the Town who have not been properly licensed to be active in the Town. 15. In compliance with the approval of the Gulf Stream Golf Club, with certain limitations, concerning granting the request of the Little Club for City Water, to be used on the Greens of its Golf Course, the Town Counsel was instructed to prepare an Agreement, providing for the limitations expressed by the Golf Club, and other requirements desired by the Town, for considera- tion by the Commission at its next Meeting. This directive to the Town Counsel was by unanimous approval of the Commission on the motion of Mr. Walker, duly seconded by Mr. LaPorte.
