at- 100 per capita based on the 1955 census were discussed. At this rate
the Village dues would be $783. 90. Mr. Claussen reported that the principal
expense will be in campaigning to get petitions signed on the proposed Dade
County charter amendment and that it was not the intention of the League
Committee to file any law suits against the charter. Mr. Franco moved
that we approve the dues of the Dade County League at 100 per capita. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously.
A request had been made by the Chamber of Commerce for new
street lights in the business section along 2nd Avenue. The Village Manager
reported that we now have 25 lights in this area at $51. 29 each, making a total
yearly burning cost of $1281. The new plan calls for 3.6 lights and an increase of
lumens from 4, 000 to 20, 000 per light. The estimated cost of installing these
lights is $550. 00 each or $19, 800, with a yearly burning cost of $2103. By
installing only 18 lights it would be just half this cost. After some discussion
concerning a beautification plan for N. E. 2nd Avenue with landscaping as well
as lights, Mr. Rudnick moved that the Village Manager be instructed to prepare
specifications to be put out for bids for a lighting system of 18 lights from 94th
Street to 100th Street. Motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously.
Action was deferred on the Planning Board minutes until the next
meeting.
After a review of the bills, Mr. Saxon moved that they be .approved.
Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously.

The problem of increasing airplane noise was brought up by Mr.
Rudnick. In the discussion that followed the Village Manager suggested that
the Council appoint a committee to look into this. Mr. Rudnick then moved
that the Council approve the Village Manager's suggestion and appoint Gen.
Robilla.rd, Col. Burke and Gen. Baird to call on the C. A.A. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously.
Mayor Bailey brought up the subject of our police protection in
view of the recent number of break-in's and asked the Village Manager to make a
