WALKER Vice -Mayor JOHN K. WHITTEMORE Commissioner Also attending: R. D. Worthing and Att'y. John C. Randolph. 1. The Meeting was called to order at 9:00 A.M., by Mayor Koch. 2, Commissioner Henry N. Whitney, addressing the Commission and those present, introduced Mr. Leonard J. Cushing who recently purchased the improved property on LOT 5, Block 1, as shown on Plat No. 1 of POLO FIELDS, and located at 3443 Polo Drive, Gulf Stream. Mr Cushing and Family intend making this pro- perty their permanent home. 3. The Commission was informed that Item #7, of the "Minutes" of the May 11th Regular Meeting, had been amended to read as fol- lows: "As a result of a study, by Mr. Whittemore, of the functions and responsibilities of Mr. Glen Sova, concerning his services pertaining to the opera- tion and maintenance of the Water Treatment Plant on Golfview Drive, and as recommended by said Mr. Whittemore, and his seconding a motion by Mr. Whitney, the Commission unanimously authorized accepting the contractual offer of Mr. Sova to continue performing such services for the sum of $2.50 per hour, it being understood that such regular and normal service would require not more than 24 hours attention per month." Upon motion of Mrs. LaPorte, seconded by Mr. Whitney, the Com- mission unanimously approved the "Minutes" for the May 11th Meeting AS AMENDED, and the "Minutes" for the SPECIAL MEETING held on May 17, 1973. 4. The "Financial Report" for the Month of MAY was submitted to, and accepted by, the Commission. 5. 6. Page The following "SUMMARIZATION" of Police Reports for the Month of MAY - 1973 was submitted to the Commission: The Commission informed those present that it had recently de- termined an ADDITIONAL Police Officer would be in the best in- terest of the Town of Gulf Stream and accordingly such has been provided in the employment of Mr. William Edward Reardon, who is considered well qualified as a result of many years exper- ience in Law Enforcement and Police Service. Upon motion of Mr. Whitney, duly seconded by Mrs. LaPorte, the Commission unanimously approved the tentative employment of Mr. Wm, E. Reardon and transfer from the "General Fund Contingency Account" to the Police Department's current fiscal year Budget of sufficient funds to cover the cost of Firearm Equipment, U- niform Equipment and Wages for the remainder of said fiscal year, estimated to be in the amount of $3,185.00. BID Forms, together with PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS, for the pro- posed DRAINAGE INSTALLATIONS and RESURFACING Improvements, as previously determined to be made, were picked up by - - - - - Belvedere Construction Co., Cappy- Simone, Inc., Gulfstream Construction Co., Hardrives of Delray, Inc., Murphy Construction Co., Rubin Construction Co., The Commission was advised that NO BIDS had been received for this proposed Improvement Project, though in addition to the above solicitation of "Bids ", PUBLIC NOTICE for such "Project" was widely furnished. The Commission was further informed that the administration, upon receiving NO BIDS for the desired Improvement Project, had contacted four of the construction companies who advised that they were LOADED with contracts, due to previous commit- ments, to the extent that they were unable to consider this project and, furthermore, did not think it worthwhile to re- submit Plans and Specifications for such an Improvement in the near future, as they did not believe conditions would per- mit them to consider submission of a "Bid" therefor during the remainder of this year. cont.

Page 2 Page 3 ITEM: 6, cont. In view of the lack of any "Bids" having been received, as well as doubt expressed by many Utility Construction Companies that they would be able to act differently on re- solicitation of such bids for the ensuing months of this year, the Commission, upon motion of Mrs. LaPorte, seconded by Mr. Whitney, unanimously a- greed to defer further consideration of this proposed DRAINAGE INSTALLATIONS and RESURFACING Improvements Project until such time as competitive Bids from capable and qualified Utility Constructiom Companies are obtainable. 7. Mrs. Stilson of 333 Banyan Rd., questioned the installation of an apparent drainage project recently provided across Banyan Rd from the northwest corner of Dr. Barker's property at 330 Banyan Rd., to approximately the southwest corner of Mrs. Stilson's pro- perty. The Commission was informed that the Town is not involved in this drainage job, it being an apparent repair or minor drain- age privately ordered, and the administration was not familiar with its origin. The broken paving surface of Banyan Rd., as a result of that privately ordered job, will be corrected during the first part of week commencing June 11th. Mr. George A. Welsh of 12 Banyan Rd., expressed an urgent need of road repair at the intersection of Banyan Rd and Oleander Way and in the immediate vicinity thereof. Mayor Koch instructed the administration to provide for such im- mediate improvement thereat, as warranted, due to the deferment of the previously proposed Drainage Installation and Resurfacing Project as set forth in "Item 6" hereinabove. 81 The PUBLIC HEARING, previously scheduled to be held at this meet- ing and concerning said Drainage Installations and Resurfacing project was cancelled inasmuch as such "Hearing" was contingent upon receipt of Bids for said Improvement undertaking, which, as previously stated herein, failed to materialize. 9. As a result of the increased Police Department personnel, an ad- ditional Automobile for Police Patrol duty is needed, and the following BIDS on a 1973 4 -Door Car have been obtained. Adams Chevrolet Co., $ 38475.00 Earl Wallace Ford, Inc., 3,433.56 Joe Rose Motors, Inc., NO BID Heywood Mercer Plymouth NO BID On motion of Mr. Whitney, seconded by Mrs. LaPorte, the Commis- sion unanimously approved purchase of the low qualified "Bid ", as recommended by Mr. Whitney and the Chief of Police, and auth- orized transfer from the Federal Revenue Sharing Trust Fund to the Police Department's capital expenditure account in the Gene- ral Fund for the current fiscal year of sufficient funds to cover the cost of the Car, the Radio, the Lights and Siren with instal- lations for all said equipment and fixtures, estimated amount for which is $ 48650,00. ITEM• Page 4 10. The Commission was informed of COMPLAINTS having been received concerning the undesirable condition of the southernmost canal in PLACE AU SOLEIL Subdivision, namely MUD FLATS therein, due to lack of water resulting from neglect in maintaining proper depth in the CANAL, which condition is considered obnoxious to the owners and residents of properties abutting the CANAL, as well as possibly unhealthy and will undoubtedly become moreso as the summer months advance. The following "Excerpt" from a letter to the Mayor, dated May 171 1973, was read to the Commission: "Now if you would suggest that the Town do something to deepen the Coves, such might be worthy of consideration. At the rate these Coves are filling up, it will not be long before they will be worthless to navigation in anything big- ger than a Canoe. I deeply appreciate all the good hard work you have done for "The Town" over the years." SINCERELY /S/ RALPH K. TRIX Mr. Trix lives at 533 Middle Road, on LOT 10, Plat of GULF STREAM COVE, at the rear of which property is the North Cove as shown on said Plat. Mayor Koch then cited the similarity of these Canal conditions to the Beach Erosion problems as to their effect upon limited areas within the Town and not affecting the Town as a whole, nor all of its property owners and residents, and believed it might be worthy of considering setting up a Committee to re- view the possible need for study of the present condition of all the Canals within the Town of Gulf Stream, The Mayor further stated that, in his opinion, the owners of all properties abutting on Canals which may be determined as warranting dredging improvements following a study thereof by such a Committee, should bear the total cost for such improve- ment. Following further general discussion on this issue, the Com- mission agreed that the matter be turned over to the Planning Board for study and recommendation. Board Chairman Mr. L. M. Ball who was present, agreed to have a Committee meeting in the flown Hall on Wednesday, June 13th, at 10:00 A.M., and to be aided by Mr. Norton R. Cotterill, Mr. Walter P. Helmsley and Mr. Ralph K. Trix being owners of properties abutting on a CANAL within the flown. Page 5 ITEM• 11. The Commission was informed, by a communication from the Gulf Stream Beach Erosion Control Committee, that it has refunded ALL unexpended funds from the original sums of monies voluntarily contributed, such refunds being pro- rated on the basis of the ratio of the individual contri- butions to the total amount thereof. The GULF STREAM BEACH EROSION CONTROL COMMITTEE has deter- mined that its original assignment has been concluded to the extent possible and requests that the Commission accept the Committee's "Final Report ", set forth in said communi- cation, and provide for abolishment of the "Committee ". Attached to the official copy of these "Minutes" for the June 8th "Meeting" is a "Final Report" by the Erosion Com- mittee's Treasurer, R. D. Worthing, reflecting all trans- actions relating to handling of the Beach Erosion Control Committee's funds, comprising ALL Donations of Monies, Dis- bursements effected in payment of Services rendered, and finally the distribution of the Unexpended funds to the o- riginal donors on the basis of the ratio of their respective contributions to the total amount of such funds. On motion of Mrs. LaPorte, seconded by Mr. Whitney, the Commission, expressing its most sincere appreciation for the efforts and accomplishments of the Gulf Stream Beach Erosion Control Committee, unanimously approved abolish- ment of said "Committee ". 12. Mrs. LaPorte then stated that, in view of the current prac- tice of the Gulf Stream Civic Association in forwarding to its Members a letter reflecting discussions and actions oc- curing in the Meetings held by the Town Commission, the Sec- retary or appointed assistant should attend all such Meet- ings for first -hand information and knowledge thereof, as well as possible participation therein. The Commission, in concurring with the recommendation of Mrs. LaPorte, directed the administration to so advise the Civic Association. MEETING ADJOURNED - 10:00 A.M.

LA -&-oat I kp� ��� --t4 wz� -�C4,1 dt a ZI ``1-6 7a I r ye" &-tt� lit Enclosed is a check representing your share of the balance remaining from the voluntary contributions for the Gulf Stream Beach Erosion study. Though we, the beach property owners, were unable to go ahead with the engineers recommendations, we at least now know '•chat should be done eventually, and hope this study helped others get started in-the right direction. Delray Beach subsequently hired the same consulting engineers, approved an identical plan and are scheduled to start their off -shore dredging this month. Hobe Sound, Palm Beach and Ocean Ridge requested, and were given, copies of our study for :their consideration. Hobe Sound beach prop- erty owners, we understai.d, have already financed their dredging program. Ocean Club property owners and Ocean Ridge started a suit a few weeks ago to remove the temporary injunction granted to Manalapan interests in 1969. This suit, if successful, would have provided for more effective sand pumping southward at Boynton Inlet, and more sand reaching Gulf Stream within five years. Last week this action was de- clined by the Court. However the County is expected to enter and re- open this case in May or June, and the Ocean Club interests and counsel hope to work with them. Probably most promising in the long run is the recent action by the County Commission. They are now negotiating with Arthur Strock and Associates (our consulting engineers) for preparing a detailed study of needs to restore and preserve the beaches from Boynton Inlet to Delray Beach. This approach, involving a longer beach area, has been urged ever since our Town Meeting, by U. S. Congressman Paul Rogers and the Florida Beaches and Shores Division. Last, but not least, Mother Nature seems to have sympathized with our trials and tribulations and dumped a considerable amount of sand onto some of our most eroded areas. And, according to the engineer for the Delray project, there's plenty of sand offshore, all the way from Boynton Inlet through Gulf Stream if we ever decide to go ahead. As there seems to be nothing more we can do at this time, we are re- turning to each contributor his or her share of the balance in the "Kitty ", closing our sFecial account and recommending to the Town Commission that this task -force committee now be abolished. Again, thanks for your help. Sincerely, GULF STREAM BEACH EROSION CONTROL COMMITTEE R. M. Ganger, Chairman Thomas F. Staley Lawrence M. Ball Stewart B. Iglehart R. D. Worthing, Treas.

PASSED and ADOPTED in regular session on this day of , 1973. Mayor Vice -Mayor Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner ATTEST: Deputy Town Clerk TOWN OF GULF STREAM Palm Beach County,Florida June 25, 1973 DEAR PROPERTY OWNER: This communication is to inform you that the Gulf Stream Town Commission, which is ever conscious of the welfare of the residents, as well as property owners, in the Town, and desirous of providing all possible assistance in their best interests, are aware that in a very few days the County Tax Assessor's Office is forwarding, to all property owners of record, a Post Card reflecting each Property Assessed Valuation of ad- valorem taxation. The Palm Beach County Tax Assessor's office extends to all property owners the opportunity for consideration of complaints rel- ative to such property valuations, as may be noted on the "Property Tax Valuation Notice ". To obtain such consideration, application forms have been pre pared by the County Tax Assessor. A supply of these Forms has been obtained and are in the Town Clerk's office at the Town Hall in Gulf Stream. If it may be your desire to request a review of your property's valuation, as it appears on the "Notice" referred to above, you may contact the Town Hall for such necessary "Application. Form ", bearing in mind that the County Tax Assessor requires such application to be submitted direct as follows: "After this form is completed you should sign it and return it in person to the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Mr. John Dunkle's Office, Room 123 of the County Court House. If you cannot re- turn it to the main Court House in person please have it notar- ized and returned by mail or turn it in, in person, to the Clerk's representatives in branch locations. THIS PETITION MUST BE FILED ON OR BEFORE July 14, 1973." In appearing before the Board of Tax Adjustment, taxpayers should have factual information to support their contention that the assessment is not in line with State law. State law requires the Assessor to appraise the property at 100% of its present market value as of January 1 of the tax year in question. Please be assured that the Town Commission is most desirous of extending all possible beneficial aid to you and in your best interest. Sincerely, TOWN OF GULF STREAM. By:WILLIAM F. KOCH, JR. MAYOR
