Mr. Hansford D. Tyler, 431 N. E. 94th St. , appeared at the
meeting to discuss the Country Club, how it is being run and how it should
be run. He stated it is not operated, in his opinion, for the benefit of all
the Villagers equally; that it represents about 1 /17 of the entire area of
Miami Shores Village; that it represents a surplus which has accumulated
from the expenditure of tax funds which is owned by all of the property owners
of the Village. It is being operated as a quasi-private institution. There is
nothing in the charter permitting the operating of a quasi or actual private
club. Requirements for membership are illegal. Any citizen of the State
of Florida has the right to use this facility; that the assessment of dues for
the use of this facility is not proper. Mr. Tyler said he wished to propose
that this situation be remedied so that it can be operated as a municipally
owned but quasi-private community facility.
Mr. Claussen thanked Mr. Tyler for his remarks and asked that he
give a summary of his ideas to the Village Attorney for study.
The meeting adjourned at 5:05 P. M.
