Pursuant

Individual letter sent out by the Village Manager, a meeting
of the freeholders and members of the Council was held
Wednesday Evening, July 27th, 1932, at Now Miami. Shores
Elementary School, 10351, N. E: Second Avenue, the purpose
of which was to hear objections to the proposed budget
and tax roll for the coming year from August 1, 1932 to
July 31st, 1933, there being present some fifty persons:
The Mayor, Mr. Pruitt, acting as chairman of the
meeting, called the meeting to order and first made a review
of the budget and statement of actual expenditures for the
fractional years period from the 1st of January to Jing 31st
1932. The Mayor read his report item by item and compared
each item of expenditure for the period with the allowance
made in the budget, indicating that actual expenditures were
approxima.telg two thousand dollars less in totea -than the
original budget called for.
The Mayor then read and explained each item in the
proposed budget for the coming gear, it being the same budget
as was approved and recorded in the minutes of the meeting of ,-
the
f ,the Council of Ju17. 26th, 1932. The Mayor then opened the
meeting to a general discussion in order that any items in
the proposed budget not clearly understood by anyone present
might be further explained to their entire satisfaction.
Several members of the meeting requested that they be
supplied with copies of the proposed Ibudget so they might
• study it over and the Mayor instructed the Village Manager
• to have a number of additional copies printed for this purpose.
After further discussion, upon motion of Mr. Richardson
Saunders, seconded by Mr; Be E. Clutter, the budget as proposed
and read, was adopted by this meeting.
The proposed tax roll was then presented by the Mayor
,.:and the question of assessment values was discussed. After the
discussion the Mayor invited any objections that might be had
to the tax roll. Since this was the first opportunity the
tag payers had had to approve or disapprove the pr6posed tax
roll it was deemed advisable to give the tax payers additional
time in which to form an opinion as to the fairness of the
assessments on various properties. Therefore upon motion of
Mr. Sanders, seconded by qtr. Clutter, a motion was passed
recessing the meeting without adjournment, meeting to be
continued on the following night Thursday and again recessed
until the following night Friday for the purpose of hearing
objections to the tax roll. The meeting was therefore
continued- on Thursday evening July 28th.. beim held in the
Village offices at 9533 W. E. Second Avenue, at which there
• were present Mr. Frsnk 0, Pruitt, Mayor, John M. Carlisle,
We F. Andes, the village manager and village attorney and
several of the tag payers of the village. Zra John Lindsey
suggested that due to the possibility of legal entanglements,
it would be adviseable to remove the item of $500.00 in the
proposed budget allowing for the expenditure of this amount
for cleaning off vacant lots and that since the purpose of
this proposed expenditure was for the elimination of grass
fires it should be combined with the $1,100,00 allowance
for fire protection. Therefore upon motion by Mr. Gordon,
seconded by Mr, Carlisle, and subject to the above change
made by Mr: Lindsey, the council unanimously passed an
ordinance approving the proposed budget.
Mr, Rodgers, owner of several lots in. block 13
of Pasadena Park, objected to the amount of the tax assessment
on these lots, saying that the streets in this particular
section ware not as improved as in other sections and for
other reasons due to location were assessed too high: The
members of the Council not being thoroughly familiar with
this particular section agreed to make a personal inspection
of the lots in order to determine a fair assessment value.
There being no further objections to the tax roll, the
meting was recessed to be convened the following night
Friday, July 29th,
On Friday night July 29th, 1932, the meeting re-convened �1r
and the Council having inspected the property of Mr.: RodgersJ '
