The Council had received a copy of the amendment to the Metro
Building Code relating to County Building Officials inspecting construction
inside the city after notifying the city building official which is being adopted
by the County. Mayor Claussen stated that it does not require any action by
the Village at this time.
The next item on the agenda was Mr. Rosenberg's appeal of the
Planning Board's denial of permit to operate a Hobby Center.at the northeast
corner of 2nd Ave. and 97th St. Mr. Rosenberg's attorney had asked that
this be postponed and Mr. Rosenberg left the meeting before the Council con-
sidered it. Mr. Clement stated that he had visited one of these centers and
didn't think it was in keeping with Miami Shores. Mr. Anderson was asked
to write the Village Manager on our legal position in the matter.

work that was done on the east side and asked that more definite bids be
secured for future drainage work. Mr. Jones then moved that the bills be
approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon and passed unanimously.

County's plan to construct an incinerator in North Dade. The Village Manager
reported that the County Commission had already approved this project. Mr.
Dixon moved that the Surfside resolution be tabled. Motion was seconded by
Mr. Clement and passed unanimously. It was suggested that the Village Manager
write Surfside and explain that this was approved by the County Commission
before it was considered by our Council.
