and Jones were absent.
The minutes of the regular monthly meeting of June 7, 1966, and special meetings
of June 20, 1966, and June 27, 1966, were read and approved on the motion of
Commissioner Bunn, seconded by Commissioner Johnson and the affirmative vote

i
Mayor Hackman commented that starting work on the new water plant, final budget
figures, and adoption of a tax roll were all in a waiting period for various reasons.
Commissioner Bunn stated that the money received from the bond sale had been
! invested in Federal Home Loan Bond Notes of various maturities at 5.8% and that
plans for the water plant had been completed and would be submitted for approval
Friday, July 8, after which they will be advertised for sealed bids to be opened in
30 days. Also that the pump house was completed at a cost of about one half of
the price of bids by regular contractors.
Town Manager Dailey reported that the County tax roll would not be ready for County
Commissioners approval for some time, possibly late August, due to the thousands
of changes made, and still to be made, by Tax Assessor Markham. He recommended
that the final County tax roll figures be used as in previous years for our Town tax
assessment. It was finally agreed that action on the budget and tax roll should be
postponed until further facts and figures were available.
Resolution #140 relative to the removal of the Delray White House storage building
and contents, was read. Commissioner Bunn moved that Resolution #140 be
approved and passed. Commissioner Johnson seconded and all Commissioners
present voted in the affirmative.
Resolution #140 is included in these minutes as page
Resolution #141 relative to removal of ruins and debris from the fire damaged
Kost property was read. Commissioner Johnson moved that Resolution #141 be

voted in the affirmative. Resolution #141 is included in these minutes as page.
MayorHackman commented that he was hopeful that this clean -up work would be
done before the 30 -day required waiting period prior to removal by the Town.
In a general discussion period, Town Manager Dailey said the whole water distri-
bution system needed checking as some of the old meters were not functioning
properly, there was water loss due to leaks and a number of meters were under
water most of the time because the grade was not considered when meters were in-
stalled and in the future, inspection should be made and approval given before meter
installation.
He reported that work on the drainage ditches on the White House property was de-
layed by the heavy rains.
PAGE 2 JULY 5, 1966
Mayor Hackman expressed his admiration for Mr. Robert Totterdale, one of the
original founders and first Mayor of the Town, who died recently. He said some
..i recognition of his service to the Town might be given by a picture in Town Hall.
Mr. Don Ross asked about placing the Apartment Owners Association tourist infor-
mation sign near the Town Hall entrance in addition to the Association display in
the meeting room. There was no Commission objection but Town Manager Dailey
stated that if the Town Hall was established as a tourist information center, it
would have to be conducted by Association Members.
Ordinance #139 was read.
"An Ordinance of the Town of Highland Beach, Florida, concerning the preservation,
protection, and promotion of the general welfare of the community by requiring the
construction, erection and subsequent maintenance of sea walls, bulkheads or
retaining walls on real property situate within the incorporated limits of the Town of
Highland Beach which abuts the Intracoastal Waterway and other canals, lakes or
