Prior to the opening of the meeting, Circuit Judge Marshall
Wiseheart administered the oath of office to the newly appointed Councilman,
Mr. M. E. Reynolds. After which the regular meeting of the Miami Shores
Village Council was held, with the following Councilmen present:
Michael J. Franco, Mayor

Absent: None
Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion
made by Mr. Saxon, seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously.
The next item on the agenda was re-consideration of extending
the parking lot zone to include key lots on the north side of 99th Street. The
Village Manager reported that Mr. Rudnick had asked him to put it on the
agenda in view of the need for additional parking now that the cafeteria is in
operation. Mr. Saxon asked that this be deferred in view of the application
of Dr. Griggs for a variance on his property on 96th St. to consider the
advisability of the Village purchasing the property. It was pointed out to Mr.
Saxon that the Griggs property is in the parking zone and that the extension
of this zone to the ;north side of 99th St. would have no bearing on the Griggs'
property. Mr. Claussen then moved that the Village Attorney draw up an

proper beautification adjoining the residential zone. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously.
The Planning Board recommended approval for the construction of
a shelter on the Miami Shores school playground with the use of electricity
for record playing equipment only. After some discussion, Mr. Saxon moved
that we uphold the action of the Planning Board but with the addition of overhead
light according to the plans submitted. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick
and passed unanimously.
In regard to the appointment of another Councilman to the Pension
Board, Mr. Saxon nominated Mr. Claussen. Mr. Reynolds seconded the
nomination and it was passed unanimously.
