following Councilmen present:
Mayor Dean R. Claussen
Richard M. Lund

Absent: None
Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present.
The Village Manager was in Montreal attending the International City
Managers' meeting.
The meeting was opened by Mayor Claussen and the invocation given
by Dr. Lee A. Lindsley of the Miami Shores Community Church.
Minutes of the last regular meeting were not ready in time for
approval at this meeting.
The first business was the appeal of Mr. Clyde Coyner for a permit
to build on a 50 ft. lot, Lot 24, Block 46, Miami Shores Sub. , which failed
to receive a recommendation for approval from the Planning Board on a tie
vote. Mr. Coyner explained that this lot was never in joint ownership with
the adjoining home belonging to his mother's estate which has since been sold.
Mr. Jones moved that the Council grant this request. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Dixon and passed 3/2 with Messrs. Clement and Lund dissenting.
An automobile maintenance contract for the Police cars, between

Crane Bros. Motors, Inc. and the Village was presented to the Council for
consideration, copies having been previously mailed to the Council and
approved by the Village Attorney. Mr. Clement moved that the Council accept
this contract. Motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon and passed unanimously.
A letter was received from the Metropolitan Miami Flower Show
inviting Miami Shores to create and display an exhibit for the flower show to
be held December 9-12, 1965. After some discussion Mr. Dixon moved that
the Council respectfully decline the invitation and express regrets that we
cannot participate. Motion was seconded by Mr. Lund and passed unanimously.
The next business was to award contract for club house improvements
and driveway paving. Mr. Jones stated that he felt a majority of the Council
would like to delay action on this and he then moved that the Council withhold
action until the meeting of next Wednesday evening. Motion was seconded by
Mr. Clement. Mr. Glenn Partin asked if there was any conflict of interest
in awarding this contract to a Planning Board member, and Mr. Anderson
stated there is no conflict of interest. A letter previously received from him
on this question reads as follows:
"I have your letter of August 10, 1965. I do not believe that
Mr. Hoefle is disqualified from contracting with the city either
by virtue of Section 33 of Chapter 20635, Laws of Florida, 1949,
or F. S. 83909. "
A resolution was proposed approving the salary plan to be effective
in the new budget. It was suggested that this be postponed until adoption of
the budget. Mr. Dixon moved that this be tabled until the Wednesday evening
meeting of the Council. Motion was seconded by Mr. Clement and passed
unanimously.

owned by the Alliance Realty, Inc. on the east side of N. E. 2nd Avenue
