REGULAR MEETING
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL
January 16, 1951
A regular meeting of the Village Council of Miami Shores Village,
Florida, was held at 7:30 o'clock P.M., January 16, 1951s, at the Village Hall,
with the entire Council and the Village Attorney present.
Mr. Franco moved that the minutes of the meetings of January 4,
December 20 and December 19, be approved as written. Motion was seconded by
Mr. Carpenter and passed umanimously.
Before proceeding with the business on the agenda Mayor Frit asked
if anyone present wished to speak. Mr. H. Rapalyea brought up the subject of
the broken sidewalks caused by building supply truoks. He suggested that the
builders be made to cover the sidewalk with boards before their trucks are per—
mitted to run over them. The Mayor suggested that the Vile Manager take this
up with our Building Inspector.
A discussion of the bus service was then taken up. Mr. Freeman of the
Miami Transit Company attended this meeting at the invitation of the Council.
He went into the background of the Transit Company's operation, bringing it up
to the time when the Railroad Commission made the change that affected several
of their routes. Mr. Freeman stated that his company would do everything possible
to help the Village. It was finally decided that a resolution should be passed
asking for a public hearing before the Railroad Commission here in the Shores.
Thereupon Mr. Carpenter moved that we authorize the Village Attorney to prepare
a resolution requesting a hearing to be held in Miami Shores for the people and
Council in regard to our present bus service and that we have a special meeting
within ten days to adopt this resolution. Motion was seconded by Mr. Franco
and passed unanimously►.
