In attendance: Mayor Condit, Councilmen Jones, Claussen,
Clement and Smenner
Village Attorney

Members of the Chamber of Commerce and
interested citizens
The purpose of this meeting was to review a proposed agreement
with Dade County for the merger of the fire and rescue services,
including personnel and equipment, in event it is approved by the
voters on November 5, 1974, for the fiscal year beginning October
1, 1975.
Mr. Clement stated that the people are going to be hurt in any event
and he thought we should close the door on the operation, sell the
equipment and then let the County furnish the service. He was opposed
to the transfer on the basis of $1. 00 a year.
It was Mr. Jones' opinion that,the people would be very unhappy if they
were served from a station outside the Shores. He felt that we are
obligated to keep it within the boundaries of Miami Shores.
The main points for re-negotiation were:
1. That the County assume the debt on the fire truck.
2. That the lease of space in the Village Hall be limited to
three years and a reasonable rental paid.
3. That the medical equipment not be permanently transferred
without permission of the Village Council.
4. That the land provided for a new fire station be leased to
Dade County instead of deeded.
It was generally agreed that the summary of the proposed agreement
should be printed in the Village Hall News.
A meeting was set for review of the Country Club budget on Tuesday,
October 8, 1974 at 7:00 p.m. , Village Hall.
The meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
