The regular monthly meeting, of the Council of
Miami Shores Village was held at the Village Offices on Tuesday
Evening at 7:30 P.M. November 15, 1932. The following members
and
of the Council were present:. Frank 0. Pruitt, Mayor,/John M.
Carlisle, W. F. Andes and M. R. Harrison, Councilmen. The
Village. Clerk and Village attorney were also present.
Mr. Richardson Saunders, representing the owners
of Gordon Park Inc. spoke at the meetings protesting the amounts �
of assessment valuations on these properties and intimated that
'I
his people were in doubt as to whether or not they would be able j
to pay the village taxes on this property this year. The council
informed Mr. Saunders that before the tax rolls were closed and
I
adopted that a substantial reduction had been made by the couaoll
on a number of these properties and that the village attorney advised
that it would be illegal at this time to make any further change
t
in the tax roll. The village attorney was instructed, however, to
look into the question further to see if any additional relief
could be had and to write Mr. Saunders of his findings.
The question of the expenditure of tax monies doming
in for current running expenses was discussed and it was the opinion
• of the council that such tax monies should be used for payment of
current budgeted items. Upon motion of Mr. Carlisle, seconded by
Mr. Andes, a motion was passed authorizing the Mayor end Aldy
V211age manager to transfer funds now on deposit in the First
i
National Bank in Miami amounting to $497.51 to the Little River
i
Bank and Trust Company and for the sake of convenience this bank
be used in the future. However, the village manager was instructed
to see that a sufficient balance be kept on hand to prevent a
carrying charge by the bank against the account. -
• A proposed lease covering certain properties
adJacent to the F.E.C. Railroad in the village was presented for
reading and approval. This proposed lease stipulated that the
Village would be responsible for all back taxes and assessments,
both city and county as well as future taxes and assessments. As
the amount of such taxes was not known to the Council, the village
manager was instructed to ascertain the amount of such taxes and
report at the neat meeting of the council, at which time the
proposed lease would again be considered.
The village manager was instructed to write to
the owner of the Biscayne Apartments and request that advertising
signs placed by said owner in the village be removed within ten_
days
The question of resurfacing N.B. Second Avenue
in the village was discussed and the council approved the sug-
gestion of' the Mayor that a 12 foot parkway without curbing be
- i
put in, the center of tad Avenue, this being contingent upon
the cost of such work in connection with paving already discussed.
The Mayor agreed to see Mr. Cecil Turner, County Commissioner,
and go over this natter with him.
The question of using tax money for the payment
of' warrants of indebtedness was discussed and upon notion of
Mr. Harrison, seconded by Mr. Andes the following resolution
was passed: RESOLVED BY THE COUNCLL OF MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE,
that the Magor and Village Manager are hereby authorized and
!I

of the cost of paving certain alleyways in the village, reported
