Mr. Anderson explained to the Council that he had been in contact with the
Attorney for the Community National Banta and there is some question of loaning
the money against the Resort Tax collections without a guarantee that the taxes
will be collected. The Village will have to find something to guarantee the loan.
The Council proceeded to hear the request of Mr. Arthur Appleton to allow a
pool screen enclosure to project into the rear ten foot setback. Mr. Webb said
there had been only one objection, that of the Board of the Bal Harbour Club,
requesting that the Council maintain the present set back requirements. After

of mr. Hart, seconded by mr. Beatty, and unanimously voted the ordinance was
adopted.
The matter of the bank loan to cover expenses for dredging sand to replenish
the beaches was brought up for further discussion. mr. Anderson explained that
this tax is an untried method of taxing and the bank could stand to loose the
loan. mr. Webb said he had written the State to see how much they could contribute.
mr. Taplin volunteered to contact other banks and also some of the oceanfront
property owners to see if they would co-sign the loan. It was agreed that the
Village would utilize as much of the Contingency Fund as possible to reduce the
amount to be borrowed.
It was moved by mr. Hart, seconded by mr. Taplin, and unanimously voted that
the Council.would make an official request from the State Board of Conservation
for financial assistance to combat the beach erosion.
mr. Webb read to the Council a letter from the State Road Department in which
they agreed to construct left turn lanes in the northbound traffi4c at the Bal
Cross and Harbour Way entrances. They recommended that the traffic openings
remain as presently contructed. mr. Taplin suggested that he believed there
should also be a left turn lane in the southbound traffic at Harbour May. In
addition he said he would like to see a firm hired to coordinate all o Collins
Avenue as to street lighting, traffic patterns, sidewalks and landscaping. After
a review of some of the items mentioned and what had been done and was planned
for the future it was suggested that the Village manager check on the cost of
such a survey and it would be discussed at the next meeting.

summer tenants was denied on motion of mr. Hart, seconded by mr. Beatty, and

Life Insurance Company under our disability policy. He has applied for Social
Security benefits and there has been no word from the Insurance Company on the
status of his claim. After discussion mr. Anderson said he would write the
Insurance Company to find the status of the claim. On motion of mr. Hart, seconded
by mr. Taplin and unanimously voted it was agreed that mr. Fitzgerald would be
paid on a month to month basis at 60% of his present salary until some determination
can be made.

would stop by during the month and see what the Village manager had been able to
work out for the new budget.
Mr. Webb asked the Village Attorney if it would be possible to limit the
hours of parking in the lot as there were many complaints of noises late at
night. It was agreed that over the season parking would be terminated early in
the evenings on lots 1 and 2 of block 1.
Mr. Webb also reported that our engineers have surveyed the borrow pit in
the bay and their findings show that there might not be 100,000 yards of sand
