MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL
September 29, 1965
A special meeting of the Village Council was held on September 29,
1965, following the Equalization Board meeting, for the purpose of adopting
the budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1965. The following
Councilmen were present:
Mayor Dean R. Claussen
Richard M. Lund
Elwood Jones
James A. Dixon, Jr.
Absent: Raymond L. Clement
Prior to the business of this meeting Mr. Gordon Boulton, member
of the Village Insurance Committee and agent for the Village liability insurance,
discussed certain recommendations with the Council concerning better casualty
coverage which additional coverage would cost approximately $1700. 00. The
Council decided to delay purchasing this umbrella policy for further consider-
ation at a future meeting with the Insurance Committee. After further discussion
Mr. Dixon moved that the city purchase the extention of the personal injury
coverage under our comprehensive general liability policy to include city
employees within that coverage as named insureds. Motion was seconded by
Mr. Lund and passed unanimously.
A proposed ordinance adopting the annual budget and tax assessment
roll and fixing the 1965 tax levy was read by the Village Manager. Upon motion
made by Mr. Jones and seconded by Mr. Lund, ORDINANCE NO. 319 was
unanimously passed and adopted, same being entitled:
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR THE
FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 1965; ADOPTING THE
FINAL TAX ASSESSMENT ROLL AND FIXING THE 1965 TAX
LEVY OF MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE.

The next business was consideration of a resolution adopting a
salary rate schedule for the year October 1, 1965 to September 30, 1966.
Mr. Dixon moved that this resolution be adopted. Motion was seconded by
Mr. Jones. It was pointed out that new employees would be started in at
the A step, that the rate number is for that particular job and not the A B C
classifications. Mr. Dixon stated that by adoption of this resolution it is not
to be understood or assumed that these steps represent automatic pay raises at
the end of each fiscal year. Mr. Lund thought we should study the plan to con-
sider the merit of cost of living increase and longevity for future consideration.
Upon vote, RESOLUTION NO. 450 was unanimously passed and adopted.
The next item for consideration was the application for hut1&i-cane
disaster relief funds. The Village Manager reported that the estimated clean-up
in overtime and extra gasoline and burning costs will run somewhere between
7 and 10 thousand dollars. In the discussion that followed Mr. Dixon stated that
he did not think it was morally right to consider Miami Shores a disaster area.
Mr. Jones moved that due to the difference in severity of the storm this year
that we do not apply. Motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon and passed unanimously.
Concerning the Country Club improvement contracts, Mr. Lund
moved that the Council postpone this item until next Tuesday. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
The Council was reminded of the Dade County League of Municipalities
meeting to be held on Friday evening, October 1st, on Miami Beach.
Action on the use of the golf course by Barry College students was
tabled until next Tuesday.
