Minutes of the last regular meeting were adopted as written upon
motion made by Mr. Reynolds, seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unan-
imous ly.
The first business was receiving of bids for police cars. Don Allen
Chevrolet, Inc. was the only company submitting a bid. Since only the one
bid was received and it had been previously decided to trade cars every year,
thus eliminating the necessity of special equipment, motion was made by
Mr. Reynolds to withdraw invitation to bid and set a new date of Tuesday,
December 7, 1954, for receiving bids, seconded by Mr. Franco, and
unanimously passed.
A letter was received from Mr. Paul W. Miller of the Merchants
Division of the Chamber of Commerce requesting that the Mayor issue a
proclamation proclaiming December 4th as Miami Shores Pre-Christmas
Festival Day. Also requested was a permit to hold a parade from N. E. 95th
St, to N. E. 100th St. on N. E. 2nd Ave. ; permission to cover all parking
meters in the business section on that day and to place advertisement on the

Mr. Reynolds moved that the requests of the Business Men be
approved and that Mr. Phillips order the issuance of the proper permits
and proclamation. Mr. Franco seconded the motion and it was passed with
unanimous approval.
Upon recommendation of the Planning Board, permission was
granted Mr. Sapp and Mr. Vann, representing Miami Shores Baptist Church,
to erect an auditorium on the church property specifying an 8 ft. set-back
be observed both on N. E. 95th Street and Grand Concourse.
Mr. Robert Miller, owner of Lot 8, Block 32, Miami Shores Section
#2, upon recommendation of the Planning Board requested approval of the
Council to erect a residence on this fifty foot lot. After some discussion
no action was taken and it was decided that a special meeting would be held
to further discuss the purchase of this lot by the Village for parking purposes.
Mr. Reynolds made a motion that the action of the Planning Board
on Mr. Grenfell Sutters' request to erect a residence on Lot 24, Block 131,

Mr. Claussen and unanimously passed.
