The Council of Bal Harbour Village met Saturday, June 10,
1967 at 9:30 A. M. in the Village Hall.
Present: Messrs. Beatty, Hart, Printup and Taplin.
Absent: Mr. White
Also present were W. H. Webb, Village Manager; Mary T.
Wetterer, Village Clerk; and Thomas H. Anderson, Village
Attorney.
Mr. Turner Wallis appeared before the council to report his
progress with Dade County and other agencies regarding our beach
erosion problem. He told the council that the most important
thing was that Porter Homer's report to the Metro Commission
should be completed without delay. Until the Commission has this
report and Mr. Homer's recommendations it will do no good to
appear before them again. He suggested that a letter be sent to
the Metro Commission asking that they act on Mr. Homer's recommend-
ation and also find out what share of the cost they will pay. He
said that the work contemplated should be done by the County as
they have the facilities for setting up the program to later
obtain Federal aid credit. Mr. Hart asked the Village Manager
to write a letter to the County Manager asking that the Public
Works Department report be expedited to the Manager for recommend-
ations to the Commission. Mr. Printup asked Mr. Wallis what
more he could do for us and Mr. Wallis said that he had agreed
for the 82,500.00 fee to bring this matter to issue and in his
opinion he had not completed his contract. He agreed to continue
working on the problem for the stipulated fee until we have a
definite answer from Dade County. It was suggested that it
should be determined how much the sand transfer would cost
and possiblyit could be accomplished by sharing the cost with
the County. Mr. Wallis said that the letter Mr. Webb will write
to the Manager will provide a talking point. It was also his
suggestion that we could contact United States Representatives
Pepper and Cramer and Senator Holland on this matter.
Mr. Webb stated he had contacted the State Road Department
regarding our relandscaping the center parkway of Collins Avenue
and in return they sent an Agreement for the Village to sign
indicating that we would assume all costs of removing any ut-
ilities, both public and private, in the way of their drainage
pipes. Mr. Anderson said he was not ready to give his opinion
on this agreement, but asked that Mr. Webb contact the utility
companies involved and see what they will do. Mr. Printup
suggested that after Mr. Webb receives the answers from the
utility companies that he contact the council.
Mr. Webb said he had written the hotel owners regarding
building docks at the water tank site and had received only
one answer. Mr. Taplin told him that the Resort Association
was cping to have a meeting on this Monday and he would advise
him.

The Manager told the members that he understood that
Surfside was going to pass an Ordinance prohibiting surfing.
He said that if they did this the only space available would
be the twenty-five foot at the end of 96th Street, which the
surfers now use and occasionally disturb the guests at the
hotels. He also said we believe that the surfers were putting
beer can top openers in the parking meters. It was suggested
that Mr. webb contact Surfside and bring it up at the next
meeting.
There being no further business on motion of Mr. Taplin,
seconded by Mr. Beatty, the meeting was adjourned at 10:55
A. M.
