A memo was sent to the Council from the Village Manager concerning
the transfer of Village funds from the Little River Bank and Trust Co. to
Peoples National Bank in Miami Shores, as a security measure for the pro-
tection of Golf Course cash. After some discussion, Mr. Claussen stated that
because of the convenience and practical approach and because the Peoples
Bank pays taxes to the Village, he moved that the Village transfer the Country

10�15�610/15/6-V-'A letter was received from Mr. Nechtman requesting permission to
sell Christmas trees from the old Pickin' Chicken property for a retarded
children fund raising project. Because of past experience with these requests,
Mr. Saxon moved that this request be denied and that the Council advise the
Village Manager to only permit merchants located in the Village to sell Christ-
mas trees from vacant property. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and
passed unanimously.
A recommendation was received for a new pick-up truck for the Golf
Course. Mr. Byrd reported on the faulty condition of the present truck and
stated that Mr. McCall had recommended that a new one be purchased. Mr.
Miller suggested that a used truck be purchased in view of the limited use of
the truck and then moved that the Council authorize the Village Manager to
purchase a used truck not to exceed $1000. 00, to be used on the Golf Course,
with the money to be taken from the Contingent Account. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously.
Concerning the beautification of Grand Concourse, it was reported
that a sketch had been completed of the sidewalk area and that Mr. McCall was
going to contact a landscape architect for his recommendations. The Council
asked that a special meeting be set up prior to the next meeting to consider
this year's landscaping program.
The meeting adjourned at 4:30 P. M.
