have his picture hung in the Council Chambers. Mrs. Jensen made a motion to

PRESENTATION OF PETITION FOR WHIRLPOOL AT THE AQUATIC CENTER.
Mrs. Bess Carnegie requested that the Council consider appropriating
$8,000 to the Recreation Department at the January Budget Execution Review for
a whirlpool at the Recreation Pool. Mrs. Stofik questioned whether this was an
emergency or if it could wait until the budget cycle in July in 1987. Mrs. Jensen
noted that some addresses on the petition were not in Miami Shores and that members
of the Recreation Advisory Committee were not present at this meeting. Dr. Butler
concluded that the consensus of the Council was that this was not an emergency
item and that it should be treated as a departmental request for a budgeted item
this summer.
AWARD OF BID FOR POLICE EQUIPMENT.
Mr. Forney requested a waiver of the sealed bid procedures of the
purchasing policy for equipment for the new police cars due to the fact that
none of the individual items to be purchased exceeded the cost of $5,000, and
the bid price is actually lower than the State Contract price.
Mrs. Stofik made a motion to waive the sealed bid procedures and
award the purchase of the new police equipment to Oaks Wholesale Distributors
for $7,044.50. Mrs. Jensen seconded and it was passed unanimously.
