Beatty, Printup, Sherman and Miss Gray Absent: Mr. Taplin Also present were Fred W. Maley, Village Manager; Mary T. Wetterer, Village Clerk; and Alan S. Gold, Village Attorney. On motion of Mr. Beatty, seconded by Miss Gray, and voted the minutes of April 28, 1981 were approved as submitted. Mr. Maley reported that due to complaints by Mr. booby of beach users parking on his property and who also park on the drive separating his buildings, the village will erect a 5' or 6' security fence along the west side of the parking lot, Mr. Iooby will have to solve the problem of their parking in his driveway. He said the police will patrol the area more frequently on Sat- urday and Sundays. Mr. Maley said that he and Mr. Sherman met with Mr. Sian, Director of Transportation and a representative from the State Road Department, Mr. DeLuca. They agreed that the tour busses parking on the curve at the Sheraton Hotel present a dangerous situation but they do not have a solution as yet. Mr. Sherman said that the State and County were going to work with the hotel owners and do a study at the County's expense to see if the hotels could accommodate the busses on their properties. Another alternative would be to have the evening tour busses park at the Sun Bank lot. Mr. Gold explained that when Ordinance No. 228 was read in full no formal action had been taken. The Village Clerk read Ordinance No. 228 governing storm shutters and balcony enclosures on buildings in the Ocean Front Section in full and on motion of Mr. Beatty, seconded by Miss Gray and voted the ordinance was adopted on final reading. Mr. Gold read Ordinance No. 230, granting UltraCom of Dade County, Inc. a non-exclusive cable television franchise, by title. Mr. Jesse Reidman, President of UltraCom, told the council that their proposal did not state when the two-way communications feature would be installed, as they are still not satisfied with the systems available. He requested a change in Section 9. A change was also suBpested for Section 8 regarding arbitration on sale of the company's assets in the village to Bal Harbour. It was moved by Miss Gray, seconded by Mr. Beatty and voted that Ordinance No. 230 be passed on first reading and that we require periodic reports regarding economic viability and state of development on the security systems feature. Mr. Maley reported that he and Mr. Sherman and Mr. Taplin met with Messrs. Coleman and Burke of the Security Trust Company.

The Item regarding the application for comfort stations on the beach is being held until next meeting when Mr. Taplin will be present. Mr. Maley said that our library representatives had requested that a change be made to reflect that Mmes. Rosenthal and Silverman would be the primary representatives and Mrs. Schwartz the alternate so that Mrs. Rosenthal could be an officer on the Library Advisory Board.
