Mr. Walker moved that the bids be studied by the City Manager and
the lowest bid accepted. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed
unanimously.
In regard to the matters discussed at the joint meeting with the Golf
Committees, Mr. Walker stated he would like these three items considered:
(1) he would like to see the out-of-bounds regulations reinstated; (2) he would
like to see the non-resident single memberships given a token reduction of
from $400. 00 to $350. 00, and (3) a decrease in the electric cart fees.
Concerning the new out-of-bounds rules, Mr. Saxon suggested that the
Council suggest to the Village Manager that he suggest to the Golf Committee
that they go back to where they were. Mayor Miller suggested that the committee
be informed that they can make no major changes without approval of the Village
Manager. Mr. Claussen stated that each new group of committee chairmen
and officers at their initial meeting should be informed of their duties and
-3- 10/17/61
that recommendations should be made as a group. Mayor Miller thought the
Village Manager should talk to the General Chairman before he takes office.
Regarding single memberships, Mr. Walker moved that the non-resident
single memberships be reduc ed to $350. 00 to go into effect with the next billing.
Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously.
After comparing cart rentals with the other local courses, the Council
decided to continue the rates in effect.
Mr. Walker introduced a discussion of the unsatisfactory condition
of the greens. Mr. Claussen suggested calling in some experts on weed
control. Mr. Walker wanted the Village Manager to look into this thoroughly
and report back to the Council. Mayor Miller made the following three points:
(1) keep the members informed of what is being done on the course, (2) he
thought the course is in the best shape it has ever been in except for the weeds,
and (3) that the Greens Committee is satisfied with the greenskeeper. He
suggested that course improvement projects be put in the Country Club bulletin
and that the Greenskeeper advise the Women°s Golf Association what is being
done about the condition of the course. It was requested that the Village Manager
report back to the Council with a plan of procedure along these lines.
The Village Manager reported that should the McLeod Amendment
pass, the Village is prepared to reinstate its former traffic ordinance.
On the unfinished business was the petition for a sidewalk on the east
side of 6th Ave. The Village Manager reported that the affected property
owners were not in favor of paying for the sidewalk. The Council then directed
that this item be taken off the agenda.
-4- 10/17/61
Mr. Ken Stucker, President of the Chamber of Commerce, spoke
about the annual dinner the Chamber is holding on November 22nd and that
they would like to tie it in with the 30th anniversary of the incorporation of
Miami Shores Village which will be on January 2, 1962. Mr. Claussen moved
that we approve the generous offer of the Chamber of Commerce to set up a
program to celebrate the 30th birthday of Miami Shores Village at their annual
meeting of November 22nd and that the Village Manager cooperate with the
Chamber in any way possible to assist in this celebration. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously.
The Village Manager reported that the International City Managers
Association meeting will be held at the Fontainebleau Hotel on November 26th
thru 28th. The Council authorized Mr. McCall®s attendance at this conference
with reasonable expenses.
