Present: Miss Gray and Messrs. Beatty, Krez and Printup
Absent Mr. Taplin
Also present were Fred W. Maley, Village Manager, Mary T. Wetterer,
Village Clerk, and Alan S. Gold, Village Attorney.
Mr. Maley explained that this is the second hearing to establish
a millage 6.87% over the certified millage.
As there were no comments from thos present
Resolution No. 268
setting the millage at 5.65 mills was read by the Village Clerk. On motion
of Mr. Beatty, seconded by Miss Gray and voted the Resolution was adopted.
At 5:25 P.M. the Public Hearing was adjourned and the council con-
vened a Special Meeting with the same members present for the purpose of
discussing the bid for the village hall addition with the low bidder,
and other urgent matters.
Mr. Frasure Knight, architect, reviewed the three bids that had
been submitted and said that Mr. Kennedy had submitted the Affidavit
regarding a requested change in his bid as requested at the previous
council meeting. Mr. Maley read the contents of the Affidavit to the
council.
Mr. Gold said he had previously thought that the Affidavit would
take care of the matter, but he regrets to report that the law is quite
clear in that it advises that a bidder on a public project may not change
a bid except to clear minor irregularities. He said the village has no
choice, but must readvertize for new bids.
After discussion in which Mr. Maley said he had hired an electrical
estimator who confirmed that the new electrical bid, which is the basis
for Mr. Kennedy's request for a bid change, was correct, it was moved
by Mr. Krez, seconded by Mr. Beatty and voted that all bids received
on September 21, 1979 be rejected and that new bids will be accepted at
9:30 A. M. on October 30, 1979. Mr. Kennedy said he would rebid the
job with the additional amount included for the electrical work.
Mr. Maley said that the City of Miami Beach is withdrawing con-
sideration of the Water Agreement from tomorrow's agenda and will place
it on the agenda for October 17th so that Bal Harbour and Bay Harbor
Islands can discuss the matter at greater length. He explained that
there is an error in the figures Mr. Silverman submitted regarding the
water used from October 1, 1978 to September 30, 1979. Also details
must be considered concerning surcharge fees and other costs. It was
agreed that as soon as final details can be worked out that Bal Harbour
and Bay Harbor Islands hold another joint meeting so that a preagreed
upon Agreement will be presented to Miami Beach.

Mr. Maley explained that during a recent power failure Florida
Power and Light Company replaced the cable from the vault across Bal
Bay Drive to the Village Hall. He said the Power Company is willing
to charge only for labor if the Village will grant them an easement
from the Village Hall to the vault. It was moved by Mr. Kres, seconded
by Miss Gray and voted that Florida Power and Light Company be granted
the requested easement.
On motion of Miss Gray, seconded by Mr. Beatty and voted the
meeting was adjourned at 6:10 P.M.
