09-30-1939 Special Meeting MINUTES OF THE IfEETING OF
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL
Sept. 30, 1939
A special meeting of the Miami Shores Village Council was held on
September 30, 1939, in the Village office at 7: 30 P. M.
Present were Mayor Kitson, Councilmen John J. Lindsey, Stanley Milledge,
W. Meade Stockdell, Frank 0 . Pruitt, the Village Attorney and the Village
M
Clerk.
Minutes of the September 12th meeting were read and approved after
corrections were made.
The first business to come before the Council was the rumor concerning
Mr. Fred A. Aufford, member of the Planning Board. Lir. Lindsey moved that
it be recorded that it be the sense of this Council that the rumors concern-
ing the Planning Board generally, and particularly with reference to Mr.
Fred A. Aufford are without foundation and fact and that Mr. Aufford be
here exonerated of charges contained in these rumors. This motion was second
t ed by Mr. Milledge and unanimously carried.
The next business to come before the Council was the matter of finding
a place to dispose of garbage other than the present arrangement. The
Clerk reported that he had talked to the Mayor of North Miami and had found
that the pit used by North Miami was owned by a private party and that he
wanted $50.00 per month from the Village for use of it; and that a further
report would be submitted at the next regular meeting.
The next business taken up was the report of Mr. Nice, and Mr. Milledge
moved that the definite proposals contained in Mr. Nice' s report be accepted
and that the Village Attorney be requested to draw an ordinance carrying
this into effect. Mr. Stockdell seconded this motion. Mr. Nice' s proposal
was read to the Council , a copy of which is attached hereto and made a
part of these minutes. The Council then thoroughly discussed the proposal
and the motion was put to a vote and carried by four-fifths majority,
Mr. Pruitt casting the dissenting vote.
2.
Mr. Lee M. Worley appeared before the Council and asked to be informed
as to the completion and opening of the Golf Course. After some discussion
between the Council and Mr. Worley, the Council and Lir. Arnold, a statement
i,as made by Mr. Tyler that anyone who talks about the Golf Course should have
f
t a copy of the mortgage and other documents concerning the Golf Course in
order to be able to state facts. Mr. Hewett, Mr. Lalor and Mr. Gordon
; requested the Council to take some action to solve the present misunderstand-
ing between Bessemer Properties and the Council, and Mr. Lindsey made the
following statement:
"There has been a lot of talk about there being only one difference
between the Miami Ohores Village Council and Bessemer Properties
and about there being only one man personally objectionable to
Bessemer Properties, but this talk and these statements have been
made by persons not authorized to speak for Bessemer Properties.
These statements are not in accordance with Mr. Hawkins' s letter
and this is not the principle involved.
rr I make this proposition: If Bessemer Properties in writing
under the signature of an executive officer of that company or
under the signature of that company' s recognized attorneys, Loftin,
k
Calkins, Anderson and Scott will recognize the principle that the
Miami Shores Village Council has the right to name either a member
I of the Council or any other resident of the Village that the Council
may choose as one of the members of the golf course operating committee,
without pressure, coercion, let or hindrance from Bessemer Properties,
then I undertake that the only person who has been mentioned so far as
being personally objectionable to Bessemer Properties will remove him-
self and his personality from the controversy by offering to resign
from the committee; and if I fail in this undertaking, I will feel justif-
ied in assuming that I have failed as a member of the Miami Shores Village
Council and feel justified in resigning therefrom and will do so. "
3.
After which the meeting was adjourned.
r
As Village Manager and Clerk
APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL:
Z �
Mayor
PROPOSAL-- E. W. NICE
In order that this report contain not only my recommendations for the
benefit of the Village at large but also the definite means of placing my
recommendations in practical effect, I am pleased to offer my formal
proposal for such services as your Honorable Body may direct.
1. I will furnish Consulting Services, prepare all rough drafts and
corrected drafts, make necessary search of Dade County and City
of Miami records and supervise the completion of a Zoning Ordinance
and Zoning Map, as required for Miami Shores Village, for the sum
of X250.00, payable $ 125.00 when completed preliminary drafts of
the Ordinance and Map are presented for your approval, the balance
to be paid in full upon completion of the final ordinance and map.
2. I will furnish Consulting Services, prepare all rough drafts,
corrected drafts and supervise the completion of a practical Build-
ing, Plumbing and Electrical Code for Miami Shores Village for the
sum of $450.00, payable w225.00 when completed preliminary drafts
are presented for your approval , the balance to be paid in full
upon completion of the final Ordinance.
3. Inasmuch as the following items are largely of an uncertain character
and depend somewhat upon the desires of the Council, the Village is
to furnish work space in their offices, steographic services, all
office supplies, drawing supplies, drafting services, blue-printing,
certified copies of "ity and County records, legal services, all
cuts, plates and printing as required in the preparation of both
the Zoning Ordinance and the Building Code. It is assumed that
complete co-operation of the Village Council will be given in the
necessary hearings and approvals required, and if reasonable
dispatch in this regard is fulfilled, I can complete all, on or
before January 1 , 1940; and, it is upon the basis of completion
on or before January 1 , 1940 that my specified prices are made.
4. I will further undertake the position of Chief Building Inspector
in charge of Building Inspection work for the Village and will as that
official be on duty within the boundaries of the Village limits for
three days, of eight hours each day, per week. As Chief Building
Inspector, I will attend to the following, as Departmental Routtne:
a. Inspect, approve or disapprove all plans and specifications
submitted for building permits.
b. Supervise the entire personnel of the Building Inspection
Department.
c. Prepare and place in effect office routine.
d. Prepare and place in effect field inspection routine.
e. Prepare all printed forms required.
f. Submit to Council , suggestions for fee collections.
g. Make the necessary field inspection as time will permit.
h. Handle personally so far as possible, the field inspection
for the new college.
1 • Will meet with the p
Tanning Board every -tednesday evening,
if necessary.
J . Will meet with the Council at all regular meetings and at
such Special meetings as the Council may direct.
k. The present personnel in the Building Inspection Division
is to remain for the present at least and perform the duties
of Inspectors under my direct supervision.
1. I agree that so long as I am employed as a salaried Village
official , I will not directly or indirectly engage in my
professions as Architect, Engineer or Real Estate Broker on
any project within the confines of the Village limits.
I will accept the duties as outlined above for a period of six
months from September 6, 1939, on the basis of salary at 0150.00 per
month, plus milage from my residence in Miami.
The present fiscal budget contains the following items:
Building Inspector' s Salary 1800.00
Planning Board 300.00
Contingency Fund 7085.58
The fee collections through Building Inspection Department
for the previous year:
Permit fees 3287.43
Contractors & Sub-Contractors licenses 2150.00
Should the Building Department collect fees this year in proportion
to last year' s collections, it appears that the costs of all the services
in this proposal could be properly financed out of this year' s budget
allowance.'
I would suggest that as soon as practical, your Honroable Body- advise
me your wishes regarding my proposals, in order that vie may adhere to
the time limits specified.
