12-06-1932 Regular Meeting MINUTES OF REGULAR _MONTHLY MEETING
OF MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL HELD
December 6, 1932.
• The regular monthly meeting cf the Council of
Miami Shm es Village was held at the Village Offices on
Tuesdaf evening, December 6th, 1932 at 7:30 P.M. , there being
present Frank 0. Pruitt, Mayor and John M. Carlisle, W. F.
Andes and M. R. Harrison, Councilmen and the Village Clerk
and the Village att cr ney.
Mr. Cecil Turner, County Commissioner axid his
assistants Mr. Friedman and Mr. Stocks were present to discuss
the question of the resurfacing N. E. Second Avenue from 91st
Street to N. E. 105th Street. Mr. Turner estimated that putting
in a 12 foot parkway and then resurfacing the entire balance cf
the present street would be much more expensive than the resurfacing
of a 30 foot strip in the center as had already been contemplated.
Because cf this .added expense, the proposed parkway project was
abandoned by the Council and renewed the agreement made at the
meeting cf September 27th, to the effect that the Village would
stand its share of resurfacing the 30 foot strip in the center
of N. E. Second Avenue, provided the Villages share did not exceed
j $1100.00. Mr. Turner then agreed that work-would be commenced by
the County on Monday December 12th.
The Mayor read a proposed contract with the William
J. Burns Detective Agency for the general policing of the Village
the cost to be $250.00 per month plus the cost of up-keep of a
car for the Burns men. This cost being considerably in excess of
the Villages budget provision for such purposes, the proposal was
I
rejected.
The question was raised as to what use should be
made of current in-coming tax monies and upon motion of Mr. Carlisle
• seconded by Mr. Harrison it was resolved that all warrants cc
indebtedness should be paid off as soon as possible and whenever
possible any additional balance accumulating should be used
in defraying current, budgeted expenses, so long as a current
balance ,of approximately $1000.00 was kept on hand in the bank.
Upon motion of Mr. Carlisle, seconded by Mr. Andes,
the Mayor. and Village Manager were authorized to sign a lease with
the New Miami Shores Corporation, dated December 6, 1932, covering
certain lots in blocks 59 and 108 in sections 2 and 4, Miami Shcv es,
the Village agreeing to exempt the New Miami Shores Co- poration
from all taxes and assessment from the date of the lease to its
expiration.
The Village Manager was instructed to employ a
deputy Marshal for a period c€' three months beginning January
1st, 1933, at a salary of $100.00 per month.
There being no further business to discuss, the
meeting was adjourned.
