A written report made by the Village Manager tabulating the bids

received at the last meeting, had been sent to the Council previously. Some
members of the Council felt that bids should be secured on service of all our
air conditioning equipment. It was Mrs. Dunn's suggestion that an employee
could maintain the equipment at the Community Center while it is still new. The
Village Manager was directed to make a list of all equipment we have for a
discussion conference.
Councilman Clement announced that it is his intention at the next
Council meeting to move to rescind the action taken at the last Council meeting
with regard to the Miami Shores Preparatory School. Mr. Nicholson pointed
out that it will require a majority vote for reconsideration. Mr. Al Quinton,
attorney for the school, stated that because of the time element involved they
have had to proceed with their plans on the basis of the approval given and that
a reversal of this permit could involve a law suit. This will be on the agenda
for the meeting of June 15, 1971.

(a) Bay and canal trash problem - The Village Manager reported
we are waiting for a reply from Metro on a request for assistance.

names was forwarded to the Council.
