of Engineers. After certification by the Corps it will be placed
before the U. S. Congress to be considered for Federal partici-
pation. 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.

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. The motion was passed with Messrs. Beatty, Printup, Taplin
and White voting, "yes"; Mr. Villeneuve voting, "no". Discussion
followed on the request of the kesort Association. The consensus
of the Council was that as much money as possible should be conserved
for the beach restoration project. It was moved by Mr. Taplin,
seconded by Mr. Printup, that a total of $50,000.00 be contributed
as outlined above, the money to be administered by the Village Manager
and Mr. Printup. The motion passed with Messrs. Beatty, Printup and
Taplin voting, "yes"; Messrs. Villeneuve and White voting, "no".
Mr. John Greene, Assistant to the Dade County Manager was present
to answer any questions the Council might have regarding the proposed
fire department merger. Dr. Morton Block and Mrs. Jules Frank of the
Carlton Terrace outlined to the Council the benefits of a rescue
vehicle to the residents stating that such a vehicle would be donated
to the Vire Department, if one was not provided by Metro, when the
necessary manpower was available through the proposed merger. 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. It was moved by Mr. Villeneuve,
seconded by Mr. Printup, that the Village accept the easement and
approve the final plans as requested. The motion carried with Messrs.
Beatty, Printup and Villeneuve voting, "yes"; Messrs. Taplin and
White voting, "no".

ment program be instituted with the first expenditure of approxi-
mately $4,uoo be taken from the Shrubbery Replacement Fund.
