Mr. Maley said that inasmuch assother governmental agencies were in- volved in the payment of the beach restoration project that he would advise them of the Council's action. The Village Manager said that: -Astor Electric had designed a parking lot lighting system for under Baker's Haulover bridge and that there would,be no charge for the design if they were given the contract. The system calls•for six luminaires with shields to protect against vandalism for a cost of $7,737.00 bolted into the bridge piers or $8,555.00 if brackets have to be furnished. It was the Council's opinion that due to savings involved in the system design being furnished and the service rendered by Astor in the past to the Village, that it would be in order to award the contract to Astor Electric as the pro- tection afforded by this system was badly needed in this area. It wee moved by Mr. Taplin, seconded by Mr. Brush, and unanimously voted to accept the proposal of Astor Electric for $7,737.00. 188 Mr. Jarvis reviewed the status of the suit to force the Village to issue a building permit for the proposed building on Lot 11 of the Ocean- front District. Mr. Sibley maintains that both Ordinance No. 11, the original Zoning Ordinance and Ordinance No. 158, the present Zoning Ordinance are invalid. He said the Village had filed an,Appeal on April 7th, which had been denied by Judge Gale and the briefs were now being field in the Appelate Court. Mayor Printup said he had attended a meeting at the Chase Insurance Agency regarding liability insurance for public officials. Mr. Maley said that Mr. Beckham would bepresent at the June meeting to discuss the Village insurance needs with the•Council. Mr. Jarvis said that Judge Nathan has ruled that the Miami Beach water Rate is arbitrary and that Miami Beach must hold a public meeting to establish a reasonable rate. He said he would not comment further until he could study a copy of the written opinion which had not been received. Mr. John Looby and Mr. Neil Orange, his engineer, appeared to request that he be allowed to install a package sewer treatment plant on Lot 1 Block 8A and proceed with the construction of a thirty -six apartment building on the lot. He said that the State Pollution Control Board now allows treated sewage to be discharged into the present sewer mains and shAed the Council a rendering of a typical unit.

Mr. Maley said that the police department had met with him and were concerned about job security and had suggested an Ordinance creating a Personnel Review Board. The manager also stated that due to the fact that our budget to passed so early before the start of the fiscal year, our May 25,1974 police salaries are quite a bit below those now being offered by other communities.

The Council said they would like to consider this matter further and discuss it at a meeting to be held June 8the - Mr. Jarvis suggested that Ordinance No. 158, as amended, be advertised and passed under the Home Rule Act to stay any further confusion about the status of Bal Harbour zoning.
