Mayor Clement, on behalf of the Village, presented Mr. Charles
H. Markel, retired, with a plaque in appreciation of his services to Miami
Shores Village.
The Village Manager reported that Mr. Markel is working with
Mr. Petrey on a plan for a combined adult recreation and community building.
Mr. Markel presented a sketch for a tentative floor plan with an estimated
cost of $117, 000 for construction of the building.
The Village Manager stated that a petition had been received for
the widening of 111th Street. Mr. McCall stated that the estimate for adding
three feet on each side of the street is under $4, 000 and asked for authoriza-
tion to secure bids on this paving. Mr. Jones moved that the Council authorize
the Village Manager to ask for bids on the widening of 111th Street. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Miller and passed unanimously.
The Village Manager asked the Council to establish a policy on
applying for Federal funds to assist in recreation and library additions. Mr.
Claussen thought this required more study and facts available and suggested
that the City Manager accumulate this information.
An invitation was extended to the Mayor, Councilmen and City
Attorney to attend a conference in Orlando, March 12 - 14, arranged by the
Florida League of Municipalities. Mayor Clement stated he would attend.
A proposed ordinance was read amending Section 504 of the Zoning
Ordinance, to permit temporary signs in an A District. Mr. Claussen moved
the adoption of this ordinance. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones.

Mr. Howard Parish, a citizen and former Councilman, spoke in
opposition to this ordinance which will permit the Janis Company to place a
billboard type sign on Biscayne Blvd. Mr. Parish said this will open the
door for many signs on the Boulevard and that it seemed to favor certain
individuals. He stated he didn't think billboards were the right thing for a
residential community, that it will hurt the residential character of the Village
and he wanted to object as strenuously as possible. He added that this is
commercial intrusion and he didn't think the Village should aid or assist in
any private enterprise in the Village.
After further arguments concerning this ordinance and the Janis
sign, a vote was taken and ORDINANCE NO. 315 was unanimously passed and
adopted.
After a review of the current bills, Mr. Miller moved that they be
approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
Unfinished business: (a) Adult Recreation Center - previously
discussed. (b) Valet parking at Country Club - no report.
The meeting adjourned at 4:55 P. M.
