REGULAR MEETING
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL
June 2, 1959
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Council was held
at 4:00 o'clock P. M. , June 2, 1959, at the Village Hall, with the following
Councilmen present:
Dean R. Claussen, Mayor
Spencer W. Rudnick
Michael J. Franco
John F. Saxon
Joseph H. Walker
Absent: None
Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present.
Mrs. G. E. Shingledecker, President of the Library Board,
presented the annual report of the Brockway Library and invited the Council
to the Library's open house to review some of the improvements and additions
made during the year. Mayor Clausseu thanked the Board on behalf of the
Council for the fine work they have done.
An agreement between the Town of Surfside and Miami Shores was
presented for the disposal of garbage and trash at the Surfside dump, with
an increase of 5� per cubic yard for garbage. The Village Manager reported
that this increase would be more than offset by the saving in using Minton's
dump for trash. Mr. Franco moved that the Village Manager be authorized
to sign the agreement. Motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed
unanimously.
A proposal was made to change the plans for air conditioning the
women's locker room at the Club. It was recommended by the maintenance

engineers that an independent 10-ton unit be installed for this room only,
at a cost of approximately $4000. 00. The Village Manager stated that if
there isn't sufficient money in the general fund, it could be taken out of the
Flood Control settlement money. Mr. Saxon moved that the Council approve
air conditioning the ladies locker room at the Club as outlined by the Village
Manager. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously.
In regard to the attempt to close N. E. 89th Street between the
Railroad and N. E. 5th Court, the Village Manager read a letter from the
State Road Department in which they request that the street be deeded to the
County or State Road Department for future right-of-way use. Mr. Claussen
suggested granting the petitioners a temporary permit to fence in some of
this street area. It was Mr. Anderson's opinion that the Village should not
abandon the right-of-way and that the Village cannot make a private deal
concerning a public street. However, he continued, since it is a cul de sac,
maybe some satisfactory arrangement can be work out, but there is a question
of liability concerning a public piece of property. Mr. Franco moved that the
Council deny the request to close the right-of-way in view of the proposed
action of the State Road Department concerning the right-6f-way and that
this denial be sent to the County. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed
unanimously. The Council instructed that the Village Manager follow through
on this matter and bring back a report concerning Tropical Chevrolet's
application for permit to fence some of the lots north of this street.
In regard to the Planning Board recommendation that an addition

on a frame house at 1077 N. E. 91st Terrace be approved, Mr. Franco
moved that the action of the Planning Board be confirmed. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously.
After a review of the current bills, Mr. Franco moved that they
be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously.
On the unfinished business, the Council instructed that the item
concerning the Episcopal Church be removed.
Concerning the N. E. 91st Terrace drainage assessments, the
Village Manager reported that he would have the engineer's report for the
next meeting.
Concerning the request of Ebsary Foundation Co. for waiver of
penalty, the Village Manager stated that one of the bridges has not yet been
approved by the Flood Control District.
In regard to the application of the H & G Detective Bureau, the
Village Manager reported he did not have complete information to make
a report. Mr. Hulse and his attorney, Mr. Morey A. Rayman, were
present. The Council instructed that Mr. Rayman be notified when the
report is ready.
Mrs. Frank Ryder of 10433 N. E. 6th Ave. , was present in regard
to a neighborhood argument concerning plantings on the Golf Course. After
some discussion the Council suggested that the Village Manager contact
Mr. Roberts to remove part of his hedge back to the palm tree.
Mayor Claussen then discussed the budget meetings to be held in
July. He also suggested scheduling another meeting with the Country Club

group during the week of June 21 thru 27.
The Village Manager reported that beginning July 1st all cities
are expected to go under the new Metropolitan traffic court system. The
new traffic tickets list this address as one of the courts, so they apparently
are going to try to have court here. Mr. McCall further suggested a plan
to build on to the north end of the City Hall, inasmuch as our facilities are
not adequate for this operation. The Council felt no new plans should be
made at this time as they were of the opinion that a Metropolitan Court at
this location might prove to be a great nuisance to Miami Shores.
The meeting adjourned at 5:25 P.M.
