The recessed meeting of May 4, 1965 was called to order by Mayor Hackman at 7 :00 P.M.,
May 11, 1965. All commissioners were present.
Minutes of the regular meeting of April 13, 1965 were read and approved on motion of
Commissioner Bunn, seconded by Commissioner Jones and the affirmative vote of all
commissioners.
Mayor Hackman opened the meeting by asking Commissioner Bunn to report on a letter
from Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland relative to release of the performance
bond executed for Highland Beach Development Corporation for work to be done in Bel
Lido Subdivision. Commissioner Bunn stated that the resolution passed May 31, 1965
was not sufficient as the bond number was not included and the principal should have
been Highland Beach Development Corporation instead of Zinke- Smith. They requested
that a new resolution be passed showing these changes to enable them to return their
principal's collateral. Commissioner Noble moved that the original resolution 129
dated May 31, 1965 be rescinded and a new one with corrections and rewording be
drawn. Commissioner Bunp seconded and all commissioners voted in the affirmative .
The new resolution 130 authorizing the bond release was passed on the motion of
Commissioner Noble, seconded by Commissioner Bunn and the affirmative vote of all
commissioners. Resolution 130 is included in these minutes as page * -
Mayor Hackman preceded his regular monthly report by announcing a breakdown of
water plant equipment. He said it could be serious and develop into a major problem;
that Town Manager Dailey was at the plant to supervise emergency repairs: that large
users had been notified and asked to curtail water use and had been very co- operative,
without complaint, and that under the new water plant expansion program, which in-
cludes improvements to the 15 year old present plant, future shut downs should be at
a minimum. Continuing his regular monthly report, he stated: that the road department
and county engineers had checked and inspected the trash and debris condition of A -1 -A
thru Highland Beach and felt this removal was the responsibility of the individual
property owner but they would give it further consideration: that the night car parking
problem in Bel Lido by teenagers and others, was worsening, particularly on week ends,
and could only be solved by putting up a barricade at night and re- opening in the
morning, and to do this, volunteer help from residents would be needed: that Repre-
sentative Donald Reed, Jr. had reported that all charter amendment bills had been
passed by the legislature; that the question of licensing co -ops and condiminiums
who were renting unsold apartments had been called to his attention and in contacting
the Florida League of Municipalities, he had been advised that this was a new situation
which they were studying while waiting for a decision by the state, as enforcement
would probably be difficult.
Commissioner Johnson reported that the appraisal or revaluation of all Highland Beach
properties was progressing without delay and a more complete report could be made in
the near future. Also that when the assessment figures are completed, they will be
available at the Town Hall to interested taxpayers.
Commissioner Bunn said there was nothing definite to report on the water plant financing
as final arrangements could not be made until revaluation figures were available. He
stated that all preliminary ground work had been done, that all and costs had been
U explored and that, upon completion of the revaluation, there l cl be no delay in the
bond issue.
Mayor Hackman reminded the commission that salaries were due and payable. A motion
by Commissioner Bunn, seconded by Commissioner Jones that salaries be waived passed
unanimously.
Commissioner Noble advised that the revision of the building and zoning oridnance was
nearing completion. She said she met with Attorneys Deschler and Baldwin on April 27th
to discuss the proposed changes and additions and get further legal advice. Mr. Milton
Beekman was also present. It was decided that some deletions and changes should not
be made: that some clauses to regulate non - conformance should be added. The attorneys
also suggested that amendments could be made from time to time as conditions cr.
opments warrant a change.
It was suggested and agreed that, prior to the reading of the new ordinances, new
business should be considered.
Mr. Peter Quala questioned about trash removal and was advised that this was the res-
ponsibility of the property owner and that Town Manager Dailey has several names of
people to contact for this work.
Commissioner Noble introduced the subject of pending House Bills 724 and 725, which
U would grant each occupant of a conddminium Unit A homestead exemption. After discuss-
ion, and citing the attitudes of other cities, it was agreed that the Town should go on
record as opposing these bills. A motion by Commissioner Noble, seconded by Commis-
sioner Jones, that a letter be sent to the county's legislative delegation expressing our
opposition to these bills, was passed unanimously.
Ordinance 127, approved on first reading April 13, 1965 was read. Commissioner Noble
moved and Commissioner Jones seconded, that Ordinance 127 be approved and passed
without amendments on second reading. All commissioners voted in the affirmative.
Ordinance 128 approved on first reading April 13, 1965, was read. Commissioner Bunn
moved „and Commissioner Jones seconded that Ordinance 128 be approved and passed
with amendments on second reading. All commissioners voted in the affirmative.

cluded in these minutes as page , and also posted on town bulletin board.
