A proposed ordinance for the closing of the crossing
over the railroad at old Biscayne Station was read by the
i
Playor and upon motion by Mr. Andes, seconded by Mr Gordon
the ordinall-ce was unanimously approved.
Upon motion by I'dr. Gordon seconded byTZr. Andes, a
resolution was passed authorizing the Mayor and Village Manager
to enter into and sign a lease with the New lrliami Shores Corpora-
j2
tion covering the rental of the temlis courts located at West
Railroad Avenue and 97th ,Street, said lease specifying t',at the
Village pa- to the New TTiazi]i Shore sCorporation an arnou}.Zt equal
to all taxes and assessments on this property and said lease
terminating on January lst, 1934.
The MLayor rea d a letter from Paul D. McGarry,
_attorney for the E. B. Elliott Company in, which he said that
he had checked into the expiration dates of tlB various contracts
with a dvercisers covering the sign boards and found that the
average expiration of contracts was_ slightly beyond July 1, 193 , -
i
some of the contrgets running as long as December 15th, 1835,
and that he recommended to the Elliott Company that they make
arrangements with the Village to let the billboards stand as _
they are until December 31st 1934 without cost to the Elliott --
Company. It was the opinion of the Council that they did not want
. to permit the signs for another two years to come although the
Council does not want to work a hardship on the sign company, it
was also suggested that the sign company could keep their leases
with the advertisers by moving the signboards to other locations.-
After
ocations;After some further discussion as to the time the sign company
should be permitted to maintain billboards in the Village, the
Mayor was authorized, upon motion of Mr. Gordon, seconded by
Mr. Harrison, to take the matter up with Mr. McGarry and Mr.
Holt and obtain a list of the signs showing expiration dates
of leases so that a more definite understanding could be had.
A propos ed ordinance providing for the
licensing of all dogs in the Village and requiring that all
dogs be inoculated against rabies, was read and upon motion
by Mr: Andes, seconded by Mr. Gordon, the ordinance was approved,
subject to any minor changes the village attorney might see fit
to make. UPON, ordinance No: 14, same being "An ordinance
relating to dogs and licenses therefor and providing for their
inoculation against rabies and prescribing regulations and pen.
• alties for the violation thereof" was signed by the Mayor and
Village Manager and Clerk in the presence of the Council and same
• was ordered filed and recorded in the permanent records of the
Village.
Mr. Holt presented a proposed contract
covering water service submitted to him by the Mian. Mater Co.
which contract was in effect approximately the same in substance
as a contract previously submitted by the dater Company and ap-
plied only to fire hydrant water service. This did not
meet with the approval of the council. Mr. Bolt inform®d the
• Council that the City of Miami had agreed to hold in abeyance the
matter of the 75% surcharge on residential service. It was also
brought out that the Miami Water Company had prepared a bill
against the Village indicating their intention to charge the
Village a rental of $412.65 per month for fire hydrant rental.
The city manager was instructed to make a count of the number
of fire hydrants in the village to verify this rental rate.
The Mayor and Village Attorney were asked to get in touch with
Mr. Gill and Mr: Caldwell of the Water Company and remind them
of their agreement made at a conference held some time ago
in which it was agreed that the matter would run along for
at least the balance of this year as it had been previous to
the organization of the village.
The tax roll for the coming year totaling
approximately two million dollars and a tentative budget for
the coming year were presented and discussed in detail by the
Council; It was suggested that $6,000.00 be put in the budget
for paving purposes and an allowance for contingencies of $5,000.00
be placed in the budget. It was also suggested that the millage
rate be placed at twenty, this millage being in effect the same
as that charged by the city of Miami in 1951 plus an amount suffi-
dent to take care of the fractional portion of a year about to close.
The operators of the filling station and
barbecue stand at 90th Street and Biscayne Boulevard came
before the council and requested to know what their occupational
license would be as they did not want to spend additional money
in improving the property if they could not afford the license,
The council gave them to understand that their occupational
license would be the same as that charged by the City of Miami
• for similar businesses, but that this agreement would hold good
only if the property was fixed up as agreed immediately,
It was suggested that the Village be made a
separate voting precinct so .that the Village could hold all
elections as a separate political unit: No definit action
was taken on this matter:
The Village Clerk presented a tentative
budget covering anticipated expenditures for the coming twelve
months beginning August 1, 1932 and after the council had gone
over this carefully and discussed each item, upon motion of
Mr. Andes, seconded by Mr; Gordon, the following resolution
was passed: BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE:
