The Council of Bal Harbour Village met Tuesday, October 26, 1982 at
9:30 A.M. in the Village Hall.
Present: Miss Gray and Messrs. Beatty, Printup, Sherman and Taplin
Also present were Fred W. Maley, Village Manager; Mary T. Wetterer,
Village Clerk; and Alan S. Gold, Village Attorney.
On motion of Mr. Sherman, seconded by Miss Gray and voted the minutes
of August 31, 1982 and September 28, 1982 were approved as submitted.
Mr. Gold said he had prepared the ordinance adopting the deferred compen-
sation plan as requested. Mr. Gold read Ordinance No. 248, setting up a Deferred
Compensation Plan with the Equitable Life Assurance Society, in full. (Mr. Taplin
arrived during the reading of the Ordinance) After discussion of the plan with
Mr. Maley on motion of Mr. Taplin, seconded by Mr. Sherman and voted the ordinance
was adopted on first reading.
The Council discussed the proposed agreement with the City of Miami Beach
Visitor and Convention Authority acting as a consortium with Dade County,
Surfside and Bal Harbour to promote area -wide tourism. Mr. Ralph Gimel, President
of the Bal Harbour Resort Association explained the agreement that the Authority
October 26, 1982
has with Maximum Marketing Exposure, Inc. The cost to our Tourism Department
will be $6,000 for one year. Mr. Gimel said the Resort Association feels
that they could not afford to be left out of area -wide ads. It was moved by
Mr. Beatty, seconded by Miss Gray and voted to join into the joint agreement
with the other agencies, subject to approval of the agreement by Mr. Gold.
Mr. Gimel said the Resort Association would like to have Council's
approval for the Christmas Carnival before signing any contracts. Activities
to be included will be singing groups, band concerts, pony rides and amuse-
ment rides taking place from noon until dark from December 24 to January 2nd.
It was moved by Mr. Taplin, seconded by Mr. Beatty and voted that the council
approve the project providing adequate insurance coverage be obtained from
the carnival operators indemnifying the Resort Association.
The council discussed the brochure being used by the Tourism Department
and Mr. Taplin siad he thought each property represented should submit their
own photo and approve the proposed photo to be used in the brochure.
Mr. Stanley Whitman of the Bal Harbour Shops appeared with Mr. Joe Rice,
Traffic Engineer and Mark Hampton, Architect. Mr. Whitman explained their
plans for parking and relandscaping on Collins Avenue due to the removal of
the bus -bay and taxi stand. He said his new parking and landscape plan would
require using a portion of the State Road right-of-way, approximately 0.5 acres.
According to Mr. Whitman, the State would lease the land to Bal Harbour Shops,
and he asked for some indication that the council would not oppose his request.
During the discussion, the council considered the location of a new bus -bay
to be built by the Village to replace the one previously on Bal Harbour Shops
property. Mr. Maley and Mr. Bynum, from the Village's traffic engineers, said
that they were opposed to the encroachment of private parking into the right-
of-way due to the possible need of this area in the near future for the re-
alignment of the soutnbound traffic lanes of Collins Avenue. This realignment
would eliminate a traffic hazard and permit the construction of a larger
left turn stack -up lane for the main entrance to the Shops. Mr. Bynum said
this may become essential due to the expansion of the shopping center and
the increased traffic. Mr. Maley also said that the Village plans to construct
a bus shelter, realign the sidewalk and relocate the dangerous pedestrian
crosswalk across Collins Avenue, in this area. The Council decided that inasmuch
as they did not have an opportunity to fully consider this request beforehand,
it should be deferred until a later meeting. It was moved by Mr. Beatty,
seconded by Mr. Sherman and voted that a meeting be held on November 9th to
consider this matter.
Mr. Maley reported that the residential street repaving project would start
on Friday and that the Collins Avenue lights were ready to be turned on
from Haulover Bridge to the Plaza Apartments. The contractor is awaiting
FP&L hookup in that area.
On motion of Mr. Taplin, seconded by Miss Gray and voted the meeting was
adjourned at 11:50 A.M.
