Mr. Taplin -said that the now jetty still under construction was being
used by fishermen and also he noticed that young people wore monkeying around
the crane. He said he thought that "No Trespassing" signs should be erected at
the jetty and enforced as much as possible; also that the Council should start
considering what type of fence will be constructed to block passage an to the
jetty after completion. It was agreed that "No Trespassing" signs would be put
up at the job site.
The Bal Harbour Employees Pension plan was discussed and the Council
felt they would like a better understanding of the basic workings of the plan
before making any decisions on the financial management of the funds.
There being no further business on motion of Mr. Brwh, seconded by
Nr. Scott and voted the meeting was adjourned at 12:20 P.M.

9 :30 A.M. in the Village Hall,
Present: Messrs. Beatty, Brush, Printup and Taplin
Absent: Mr. Scott

Mr. Wassell of the Singapore Hotel appeared and asked about the status of
his request for revision of the setback restrictions on Lot 1 of the Oceanfront
District. Mr. Maley explained that it was the opinion of the zoning consultants
that the parking garage would be permitted to extend to the side property lines,
but that the main•building would have to remain forty feet from the property lines
and a fifty foot front setback would be allowed. .Mr. Wassell maintained that he
should be allowed to go to the south property line with the entire structure. No
action was taken as this has not yet been formalized.
Mr. Maley said that the Village will incur increased costs on the beach
restoration project of approximately $250,000 due to the failure of Standard
Dredging Corporation to honor its bid. It was Mr. Anderson's opinion that we should
wait until the contracts from Great Lakes Dredging Company are returned to us before
