This ORDINANCE NO. 302 is entitled: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SCHEDULE OF REGULATIONS THAT IS A PART OF ARTICLE IV OF ORDINANCE NO. 270 BY ADDING THERETO A REGULATION TO PERMIT FALLOUT OR BOMB SHELTERS TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITHOUT REGARD TO THE REAR SETBACK PROVISIONS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS A request was made for sidewalks along the east side of N. E. 6th Ave. from the Golf Course wall to 107th St. The Village Manager stated that it would cost about $3, 000, with an individual property assessment of approxi- mately $250. 00 per home, and asked if he should proceed with working up the special assessments. Mr. Walker moved that the Council go ahead with this. Motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon. After discussing this further the motion and second were withdrawn. Mr. Walker then made a new motion that the Council proceed with creating a special assessment district. Motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Claussen suggested that the Village Manager poll the residents to see if a majority want the sidewalks. Mr. Rudnick moved that the Village Manager go into the project further and report back to the Council. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed by four affirmative votes with Mr. Walker declining to vote. Mr. Claussen made a report on the proposed Country Club addition. He stated that the building will be 80 x 35 on the west side of the dining room; that the estimated cost for the building construction is $27, 000, and that the 10/3/61 -3- estimate on the bar is $13, 000 which may be reduced to $12, 000. The immediate question asked by the Village Manager is whether or not we should proceed to build this building under Mr. Markel for approximately $27, 000. After further discussion of all the costs involved, Mr. Saxon moved that the Village Manager be authorized to proceed with the proposed construction of the addition to the Clubhouse not to exceed $30, 000, purchase of bar and equipment not to exceed $15, 000 and interior decoration not to exceed $15, 000, all upon recommendation of the Committee. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed by four affirmative votes with Mr. Claussen declining to vote. Mr. Rudnick asked about plans for enlarging the kitchen. The Village Manager stated we haven't made any plans except to transfer equipment to the extra space. Mayor Miller asked about shower stalls for the men's lockerroom. The Village Manager stated he had looked into this but the price was very high. However, he added, he hopes to get some stalls put in. Mr. Jean Lowdermilk, as Chairman of the United Fund for Miami Shores, requested that the Council pass a resolution calling the campaign to the attention of the people of Miami Shores. Mr. Walker stated that since many people are new in our area, "I move that we endorse the United Fund and pass a resolution calling to the attention of our citizens its value and urging them to assist the fund and put this in the Village bulletin.
