A request was made for a Quit Claim Deed on Lot 14, New Miami
Shores Estates Subdivision, title to which was clouded by tax error. Mr.
Franco moved authorization to execute a Quit Claim Deed on this lot to
clear the title. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously.
It was requested that a copy of our ordinance adopting the State
pension plan for Police officers be sent to the State Treasurer.
After a review of the bills, Mr. Claussen moved that they be
approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Franco and passed unanimously.
It was reported that there had been no progress on the range in
several weeks. Mayor Phillips asked the Village Manager to expedite
completion by the first of November.
The Mayor and the Village Manager reported on the air conditioning
water supply problem at the Country Club. It developed that the water from
the main supply well was getting too hot for efficient operation of the machinery.
This the engineers stated was caused by the discharge well being too close
to the supply well and the discharge well was then moved several feet away.
This eliminated the hot water coming out of the supply well but then it started
to draw up sand. Either a new well could be tried or, as the engineers
recommended, a cooling tower installed. In the discussion that followed, the
Council pointed out that the engineer should be responsible to some extent for
not giving the best advice on the method of cooling. The Village Manager was
instructed by the Council to try a new well at a cost of less than $400. 00.
Mr. Ed Wolz, architect, was again present in regard to his previous

request for permit to construct a gasoline station on Lot 19, Asbury Park
Subdivision, which is located on the east side of Biscayne Blvd. at 88th Ter.
The Council felt that although a spacing ordinance had been passed since
this request was originally made, it would be unfair to invoke the ordinance
against this application. Mr. Franco then moved that the permit be granted
on the condition that construction for this station will be started within six
months. Motion was seconded by Mr. Carpenter and passed on a 3/1 vote
with Mayor Phillips dissenting.
Mr. Josephart of the Pickin Chicken restaurant appeared before
the Council to renew his petition for a beer and wine license at his restaurant
at 9060 Biscayne Blvd. After discussion, Mayor Phillips asked that this be
deferred until the next meeting when there is a full Council.
The Planning Board recommendation in regard to prohibiting park-
ing on Lots 23 and 24, Block 20, Miami Shores Section, until they are properly
paved, was referred to the Village Manager for handling.
The Village Manager read his report on the International City
Managers' Association Conference in Los Angeles which was well received
by the Council.
The meeting adjourned at 5:55 P. M.
