Mr. Claussen then moved that the Council appoint a committee of representatives of service and civic clubs in our community to be called Miami Shores Rescue Advisory Committee to assist the Village Council and bring about a united effort and that the Council go on record as favoring this program and bring it about as rapidly and feasible as possible with money from the revenue sharing program to be used to expedite it. The motion was seconded by Mr. McLaughlin. Both Mrs. Dunn and Mr. Clement wanted more information as to the cost of providing rescue service and what it is going to take to meet the expense.
