Restaurant has shown that the company was a "paper corporation". Those in-
dividuals listed as being officers were really just employees of the restaurant,
not the principal owners. Legal fees to collect $7,500 in unpaid Resort taxes
from this out-of-state organization will exceed the taxes due. It was his recom-
mendation that the suit be dismissed. The motion to dismiss the suit was made
by Mr. Beatty, seconded by Miss Gray, and voted.
On motion of Mr. Taplin, seconded by Miss Gray, and voted the meeting was

final reading On motion of Mr. Taplin, seconded by Mr. Sherman and voted the

Mr. Maley referred to the letter he had sent to the council explaining the
residential street resurfacing project. He said 231 lots will be assessed to cover
the estimated $220,000 cost. The curb and gutter work will be paid by the village
due to the Village's ownership of the storm sewer system. He said he had examined
four separate methods of assessment as they relate to size of lots, front footage,
land value and single and multiple family zoning use. A unit value method was chosen
due to the diverse sizes, frontages, property values and use of the properties.
He has a commitment for a $220,000 unsecured loan from the Sun Bank of Miami at
10% interest, to cover the contract. Mr. Maley read Resolution No. 279, setting
for the nature of the work, lots to be assessed and payment schedule. On motion

Satellite Disk Receivers ready for the next meeting.
Mr. Maley requested that the Council amend the garbage and trash of inance
regulating garbage cans in the residential district, to prohibit underground re-
ceptacles, due to injuries caused to the workmen by lifting the heavy, sometimes
water -filled cans out of the ground. Only a few homes have them. The Council
agreed to prohibit this type receptacle, the ordinance to be submitted next month.
Mr. Maley said thgt the report of our traffic engineers, David Plummer and
Associated, Inc., hac,/ g'to the Council and to Mr. Paul, attorney for the
Bal Harbour Shops. The report stated that the proposed new entrance and exit drives

in conflict with the Village's Comprehensive Master Plan. Mr. Gold said that
inasmuch as this item was not on the agenda, it should not be discussed further.
