Several residents from 103rd Street appeared in regard to a

capacity in excess of 2-1/2 tons from using any streets in the Village except

action be taken on their letter, Mr. Phillips stated that because there was a
minority on the Council in this issue, it would be a waste of time to bring it to
a motion and have it voted on again, as he was positive it would end up the
same way.
A letter was received from the Central and Southern Florida Flood
Control District concerning certain rights-of-way they must acquire through. the
Village along Biscayne Canal and asking that the Village adopt their tentative
right-of-way line as a building set back line so that no more permits will be
issued for any buildings in this proposed right-of-wap. The Council.wished to
consider this further and requested the Village Attorney's opinionn as to our
position in the matter. They further agreed that property owners should be
advised of this situation before permits are issued for construction.
A resolution wa.s.presented expressing appreciation.to:the Miami
Shores Business and Professional Women's Club for sponsoring and super-

The next business was a discussion of the green: fees and strip
tickets at the Country Club. The Village Manager reported that as of April 1st,
strip tickets were discontinued and in the past, green fees were reduced to
$3.00- at this time. However, this year in order to keep the play limited to
members, Villagers and their guests°i the $5.00 fee has been continued and
it was requested that some method be decided on whereby guests may play
for $3. 00. Mr. Carpenter moved that the strip tickets be abolished and that
all outstanding strip tickets be refunded immediately to the holder when
presented and further that we establish a year-round green fee to fee players
of $5. 00, subject to change, and that members and Villagers be permitted to
pay for their guests on a charge system at the rate of$3. 00 each; also that
fee players be permitted to play during designated twilight hours for $3. 00.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Franco and passed unanimously.
The Village•Manager brought up the matter of a fire works program
at the Country Club on July 4th as per last year at a cost of $600.00. Mr.

in the Village, and it was,unanimously carried.
