Mr. Harry Swan appeared to solicit the Council's aid in persuading the County to replace curbing on Grand Concourse that had been removed during the construction of 6th Avenue. Mr. Swan stated the County claims they have no jurisdiction over any street other than 6th Avenue. The Village Manager reported that he had thought the problem had been taken care of by the Village. After talking with Mr. Swan yesterday he had contacted one of the County engineers on the recent paving job who promised further investigation. Mr. Walker moved that the City Manager make every reasonable effort to obtain satisfaction from the County and if this is not possible within 30 days that he will bring the matter back to the Council. Mr. Saxon stated that if we couldn't get them to do it we should goahead and fix it. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously. 4/17/622.5 -2- A discussion was held concerning the 4th of July fireworks program. The Village Manager reported that Mr. Weise, who has previously put on the fireworks display, definitely does not wish to handle it this year; that there is no one else available at the present time and it appears that the fireworks will have to be eliminated. Mr. Claussen moved that the fireworks display be discontinued this year and replaced with a wholesome family program with barbecue supper arranged by the Club Manager and Director of Recreation. Motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed 4/1 with Mr. Walker dissenting as he felt the Council should ask the people for their opinion in this matter by means of the Village Bulletin. At the last Planning Board meeting approval was recommended for a variance to the Lutheran Church, N. E. 2nd Ave. at 103rd St. , for the use of 9 inches in the front setback in the construction of an addition to the church. After review of the plans, Mr. Walker moved that the Planning Board action be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously. Approval was also recommended by the Planning Board of the revised parking layout and sign for the Kwik-Chek store to be built east of Biscayne Blvd. between 90th and 91st Streets. After reviewing the plans Mr. Claussen moved that the action of the Planning Board be upheld. Motion was seconded by Mr. Walker and passed unanimously. A proposal was made by the Village Manager to transfer the hand electric cart revenue to the golf pro. Mr. McCall stated this would amount to about $1800. 00 a year which could be given in place of a raise which the pro has been asking for. Mr. Claussen didn't think it was a good policy to AUMB -3- 4/17/62 allow an employee to have this concession. Mr. Saxon thought the Council should pay the pro more money if he should have it. Mr. Walker wanted a more thorough report of the pro!_a, income. After further discussion Mr. Walker moved that the golf pro be given the revenue from the electric hand carts for the time being and mark it down for review at budget time. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed 4/1 with Mr. Saxon dissenting. Mr. Saxon then moved that the Village Manager look into buying these carts and operating them ourselves and that the pro be given a raise of $100. 00 a month. Motion died for lack of a second. The Village Manager reported that the holders of the golf course bonds will not surrender them without penalty. Mr. Walker suggested the Council con- sider purchasing the land north of the Club in return for this money on hand.
