Mr. Lund moved the approval of these orders as amended. Motion

The following proposals were received to repair roofs on two
equipment sheds at the Village yard: NORTH DADE ROOFING CO. $1730. 00;
GEO. OBENOUR $2233. 00. The Village Manager recommended acceptance
of the low bid. Mr. Clement moved that we have the job done by the low bidder
with the money to come from the Contingent Fund. Motion was seconded by
Mr. Lund and passed by Messrs. Lund, Cole and Clement, with Mr. Dixon
absent from the room.
A report on the truck bids received at the last meeting indicated
the best bid was from J. D. Ball Ford at $1463. 71, with Tropical Chevrolet
at $1599. 00. Upon motion made by Mr. Lund, seconded by Mr. Cole and
passed, acceptance of the bid from J. D. Ball was approved. Mr. Dixon
returned after the vote was called.
At the last Planning Board meeting a request was made for permit
to build "town houses" on Blocks 19 and 20, El Portal Subdivision, property
located along the railroad south of 91st Street. The Board forwarded it to the
Council without recommendation inasmuch as we have no "town house" regula-
tions. The Mayor stated that we could not resolve the question of town houses
at this time.
In connection with "town house" zoning, the firm of Stutsman,
Kennelly, Neidight & Associates submitted a proposal to the Village to make
a survey on this subject for the sum of $350. 00, which the Village Manager
recommended for Council approval.

After discussing the town house proposal as well as one for a
comprehensive planning survey, Mr. Claussen moved that we direct the Village
Manager to acquire names of at least three planning firms in the State of Florida
that are recognized and approved by the Florida Development Commission and
then write to these people and interview them concerning an over-all planning
study of Miami Shores Village and determine areas and classifications that
should be included in a planning study and get the cost.
The motion was amended to include the Bartholomew planning con-
sultants as one of the firms and to contact the firms immediately. Mr. Lund
seconded the amended motion and it was passed 4/1 with Mr. Clement dissenting.
Mrs. Craig Burton of the Woman's Golf Association, presented a
proposal for redecorating the ladies locker room at a cost of $1661. 75 plus
labor for paper hanging, which proposal was recommended by the Village Manager.
Mr. Claussen moved that we accept the Village Manager's recommendation on
this expenditure. Motion was seconded by Mr. Dixon who asked where the
money is coming from. The Village Manager stated that it will come out of
Building Maintenance. The motion was then passed 4/1 with Mr. Clement
dis s enting.
