The first business of the evening was a proposed ordinance read
by the Village Manager concerning zoning change procedure. Council decided
to study this more thoroughly later in the meeting.
The Council discussed an application to the Village Manager for
a beer and wine license for the Pickin' Chicken Restaurant at 9060 Biscayne
Blvd. , from Mr. Herman Josephart, president of the corporation. The Village
Manager reported that on receipt of this request he had contacted the Village
Attorney for his opinion in the matter. In Mr. Anderson's reply he called
attention to Ordinance No. 200, and stated: "It would seem that under this
ordinance you would have no authority to issue a license to the above named

applicant. " Council took no action on the application.
Mention was also made of complaints concerning cooking odors
emanating from this restaurant. Mr. John A. Wall of 544 N. E. 93rd Street
stated that the odors permeated his home and were causing a definite nuisance
to his property. Mayor Reynolds asked that a little more time be given to
see if the situation improves.
Mayor Reynolds then brought up the subject of children not being
permitted in the Miami Shores Elementary School. He cited cases where
children from O'Dell Manors were not admitted to the Miami Shores School
because of the dividing lines set up by the School Board. It was Mr. Carpenter's
opinion that the Council should pass a resolution asking the School Board to
change the boundaries of the school limits. The Village Manager reported that
he had discussed this problem with Mr. Lang, who stated that he felt confident
that all Shores children could be accommodated at the Miami Shores School.
The Mayor asked that Mr. McCall and Mr. Phillips further discuss this with
Mr. Lang a resolution will be passed along the lines mentioned so that this
problem will not recur every school year.
After a review of the unpaid bills, Mr. Franco moved that they be
paid. Motion was seconded by Mr. Frix and passed unanimously.
Council then resumed study of the proposed ordinance amending
change of zone procedure. Upon motion made by Mr. Frix, seconded by Mr.
Franco, ORDINANCE NO. 223 was unanimously passed and adopted, same being
entitled:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 92, WHICH
IS THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE,
BY AMENDING ARTICLE XV THEREOF.

Mr. Franco then brought up the subject of the Golf Course ordinance
and in referring to Section 5. , asked that an amendment be passed making it
m.anadatory that the Board accept Council recommendations as to fees. The
Village Manager suggested setting up all fees by ordinance.
Mr. Franco also pointed out that Section 7. is not being followed
concerning approval of expenditures in excess of $100. 00. In this connection
Council approved amount of $250. 00 expended by the Golf Board to send two
participants to the National Public Links Tournament in Wisconsin, by motion
made by Mr. Carpenter, seconded by Mr. Frix and passed unanimously.
Question was raised as to how the auditor figured the Club manager's
bonus and it was decided that it was time to have a quarterly meeting with the
Advisory Board, at which meeting the auditor should be present, so that these
figures can be fully explained before the Council takes action on the bonus.
This meeting was tentatively planned for September 17, 7:30 P. M. at the Village
Hall.
Mayor Reynolds brought up a suggestion made by Mr. Al Sullivan
that a special sticker be sold to allow Village parking without bothering with
the meters. Various reasons were pointed out why this would not be practical.
The Village Manager informed the Council that because of the loss
experience in our group sickness and hospitalization plan, the rates are being
increased considerably and it was his opinion that it should be mandatory that
every employee carries this insurance. Council did not approve of this inasmuch
as the Village is not paying any part of the premium.
