June 1, 1967
The Council of Bal Harbour Village met Thursday, June 1, 1967
at 9:00 A. M. in the Village Hall.
Present were: Messrs. Beatty, Hart, Printup, Taplin and White.
Also present were W. H. Webb, Village Manager; Helen C.
Stahl, Deputy Clerk; and Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney.
On motion of Mr. Beatty, seconded by Mr. Printup and unanimous-
ly voted, the minutes of the meeting of March 25, 1967 were accepted
as presented.
On motion of Mr. Hart, seconded by Mr. Taplin and unanimously
voted the minutes of the meeting of April 22, 1967 were accepted
without being read.
Mr. Anderson reported that he talked with Judge Dekle and the
injunction suit on the taxi permits is set for a hearing later
this month.
On motion of Mr. Hart, seconded by Mr. Printup and unanimously
voted, the six months audit was accepted as presented.
The Village Manager reported that the negotiations with the
June 1, 1967

actuary on our pension plan were held in abeyance due primarily
to the fact that Mr. Faulkner said he wanted the actuary for
Equitable to look over our plan. Mr. Faulkner would like to
recommend to the Council that the Village leave this plan with-
in an insurance company. However, Mr. Webb reported that at
the present time there is a bill before the Legislature (House
Bi11 No. 1979) and if it passes, it would allow municipal em-
ployees to come under the State Employees' Pension Plan. Said
plan would provide for equal contributions of 4% of the monthly
compensation for both employee and employer for regular employ-
ees, and 6% for high hazard employees, such as Police and Fire-
men. He asked the Council to wait and see if this bill passes
and if so, Bal Harbour would be eligible to go under the State
plan. The Council agreed to table this matter until such time
as it is known whether the Legislature accepts or rejects this
bill.
Mr. Webb then reported on the status of the beach erosion
negotiations and in this connection read a report from Mr. Turner
Wallis on his accomplishments to date. He also informed the
members that Mr. Wallis has used up all of the $2,500.00
appropriated by the Council, although he has not received an
itemized bill. Mr. Taplin asked Mr. Anderson for his opinion as
to what else we can do with the County from a legal standpoint.
It was Mr. Anderson's opinion that the County has no contractual
liability to restore these beaches, but the question has arisen
as to the legaility of the County's action in appropriating
public funds for the maintenance of the beach and, he stated,
he subsequently wrote to the County Attorney advising that they
had appropriated monies in the past and asked for a further
discussion on this matter, but has not received a reply. Mr.
Anderson cautioned the Council that if they are thinking of
appropriating further funds for Mr. Wallis' use, they should
consider that only a small section of the beach in Bal Harbour
is being hit with erosion and they are taking money from all
the taxpayers in the Village to improve that section and thought
it advisable for the Council to get some indication of the
public's attitude. The Village Manager was requested to write
Turner Wallis asking for an itemized bill covering the $2,500.00
and request him to appear at the next Council meeting, June
loth, 1967 to give a verbal report to the members.
Mr. Hart moved to adopt
RESOLUTION NO. 152
requesting Governor Kirk and members of the 1967 legislature to
support the financial needs to combat the beach erosion problems.
Motion seconded by Mr. Beatty and unanimously voted.
Mr. Anderson read
RESOLUTION NO. 153
expressing the Council's gratitude to Mr. Fred Faulkner for his
past service to the Village. Upon motion of Mr. Printup, second-
ed by Mr. Beatty and unanimously voted, Resolution No. 153 was
adopted.
June 1, 1967
Mr. Anderson read
RESOLUTION NO. 154
requesting the Board of County Commissioners, Governor Kirk as
Chairman of the Florida Board of Conservation, and the member-
ship of the Dade County delegation to the 1967 legislature to
support financial and administrative measures to combat beach
erosion. Upon motion of Mr. Printup, seconded by Mr. Taplin
and unanimously moved, Resolution No. 154 was adopted and
copies are to be sent to the County Commissioners, Governor
Kirk and the Dade County delegation to the 1967 legislature.
Mr. webb advised the members that the City of North Miami
Beach forwarded the final figures on the cost of the new water
line. The total project cost $236,086.44 which is very close
to the original figure. This will amortize in 46* months and
we will then be on a sliding scale on our water charges. The
original contract price called for amortization in 47 months.
Mr. Hart moved that the tapes of the Council meetings be
retained for a three month period instead of a two year period.
Motion seconded by Mr. Printup and unanimously voted.
Mr. Webb advised that an application for a liquor license
for Frank G. Shattuck Co., d/b/a Schrafftts Restaurant, was
received. A11 principals had been fingerprinted and cleared.
Mr. Hart moved to grant the issuance of a liquor license for
Frank G. Shattuck Company. Motion seconded by Mr. Taplin and
unanimously voted.
The Village Manager read a letter from the Americana of
Bal Harbour requesting Council permission for use of the lower
garage area for exhibition purposes for four meetings from
August 1st to December 15th, 1967. Mr. Printup moved to grant
permission to the Americana provided all security and fire re-
quirements are met. Motion seconded by Mr. Taplin and unanimously
voted.
Mr. Hart moved to adjourn. Motion seconded by Mr. Taplin
and the meeting adjourned.
