were approved as submitted.
Messrs. H. L. Asher and M. C. Patterson, operators of Charter

the power vault room to accommodate the Florida Power and Light
equipment. On motion of Mr. Taplin, seconded by Mr. Villeneuve,

the vault at the location shown on his building plans.
The Council considered the matter of constructing the sidewalk
on the west side of Collins Avenue and 96th Street. It was the
concensus of opinion that this was not a good time to build the
walk and that the Resort Association should be contacted in regard
to the money situation in the Tourism Department. In the meantime,
Mr. Maley would contact the low bidder to see if an extension for
signing the contract could be obtained.
Mr. Anderson said that he and Mr. Maley had been meeting with
officials from Dade County and Bay Harbor Islands and that the con-
tract for the merger of the Fire Departments had been completed
except for paragraph 9, which is the property clause. He said
the Village must designate a site for the Bi-City Fire Station.

Messrs. Printup, Taplin and Villeneuve, "yes"; Mr. White abstain-
ing, a portion of Area No. 4 of the Business Section of Bal Har-
bour as recorded in PH 60 page 39, was designated. Mr. Maley
said that Dade County would survey the site.
Mr. Maley said the Corps of Engineers needs the approval of
Dade County as sponsor of the beach restoration project and that
Mr. Anderson had drawn a Resolution stating that if Dade County
would sponsor the project we would save the County harmless from
any liability arising out of its sponsorship. On motion of Mr.
Taplin, seconded by Mr. Villeneuve and unanimously voted
RESOLUTION NO. 194
was adopted.
Mr. Maley said that he had talked to the Corps of Engineers in
Jacksonville and that they would forward their report to the Atlanta
office next week. He said that the Council must make a decision
as to the public access required. Mr. Anderson reviewed for the
Council what is entailed in condemnation suits and an additional
alternative at Lot 11 on the oceanfront was discussed. It was the
Council's decision that Mr. Maley should. approach the owners of this

property as long as they were not operating the hotel and see
if a portion of this land could be obtained. Mr. Printup said
he would see if the Bal Harbour Club was considering selling off
any property.
Mr. Maley showed the Council a sketch of a proposed uniform
entrance sign for the hotels and apartments on the east side of
Collins Avenue. It was the opinion of the Council that the sign
as shown was too large. The Council decided to explore the pos-
sibility of using a sign the same size as we now allow in the
same location which would be uniform except for the style of let-
tering and lighted from the inside. Mr. Maley was authorized to
order a prototype sign.
The Americana request for use of garage space for convention
purposes was deferred until next month.
