However, the jetty can be started after tentative appro- val by the County, State and Corps of Engineers. In regard to financing the project it is estimated that Bal Harbour will contribute $618,000 from Resort Tax Revenue and Local Assessments; Dade County, $400,000; State of Florida, .81,000,000; and Corps of Engineers, $2,482,000. Mr. Anderson suggested that Mr. Maley obtain a letter from the First National Bank of Miami and Community National Bank stating just what they will require from Bal Harbour to make the construction loan. It was also suggested that the Miami Beach First National Bank be contacted to see if they would be interested in participating. It was noted that the completed beach will be the property of the State of Florida. However, the beach will be administered by the Village. .Also discussed was the problem with the Federal Government due to the limited access to the beach. Mr. von Oesen explained that there would be a demarkation line between the State owned land and private ownership; the upland owner would control forty to sixty feet in front of the bulkhead along the completed beach. The Federal Government will probably require public access 'every one-half mile. It was suggested that a sidewalk, walled off from the Harbour House North property, could be constructed on the Dade County thirty-five foot easement along the Haulover Inlet. If the government regulations can be met it would result in greater financial participation by the Government. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 5:15 P.M. on motion of Mr. white, seconded by Mr. Taplin. Attest: Village Clerk January 30, 1971 The Council of Bal harbour Village met Saturday, January 30, 1971, at 9:30 A.M. in the Village Hall. Present: Messrs. Beatty, Printup, Taplin, Villeneuve and white Also present were Fred W. Maley, Village Manager; Mary T. Wetterer, Village Clerk, and Thomas Anderson, Village Attorney. January 30, 1971 103 On motion of Mr. Printup, seconded by Mr. Taplin, and unan- imously voted the minutes of the previous meetings of December 22, 1970 and January 22, 1971, were approved as submitted. Mr. Maley reviewed the plans for the oceanfront restoration and the status of the Resort Tax Funds, stating that projected to June, 9171, the monies available to start the beach nourisment project would be approximately $685,000.00 against the 84,500,000 needed over the next two years for the project. The Council con- sidered proposed expenditures from the Resort Tax monies available; namely, sidewalk bids for the west side of Collins Avenue and Ninety- sixth Street, the low bid submitted by Clifton L.ightsey, Inc. in the amount of $98,267.25 and a request from the Bal Harbour Resort Associ- ation for an appropriation totaling $88,500.00. This money is to be used for promotion purposes by advertising in the Miami Herald con- vention mail -away edition, $1,322.00, and the Americal Automobile Association Florida Tour Guide, $2,178.00; entertainment during the American Society of Association Executives convention, $20,000.00 and area -wide promotions for 300 leading travel agencies, `365,000.00. Mr. Maley suggested that the sidewalk bid be let and trees be planted to balance off the Collins Avenue beautification project as it would be some years in the future before this job could be completed once the restoration project was undertaken. It was the opinion of the majority of the hotel representatives present that the Collins Ave- nue sidewalk and landscaping expense was not necessary if there was not sufficient money for all projects. After discussion it was moved by Mr. Printup, seconded by Mr. White, that all bids for the sidewalk on the west side of Collins Avenue and Ninety-sixth Street be re- jected.

After discussion it was moved by Mr. Printup, seconded by Mr. Taplin and voted that action on the proposed merger be postponed until the Feb- ruary meeting. Mr. Maley stated we had obtained the requested easement from Mr. John Looby and that Mr. Looby was now requesting final approval of his plans for Lot 3 Block 12A.
