Joining West Palm Beach in suit against County Commission

of the Town Commission's support was sufficient?
She replied in the affirmative. Discussion on
this matter followed and it was established that
the Town of Highland Beach would not be a party
to the law suit. It was the consensus of the
• Commission that the Town Manager send a letter
of support relative to the suit.
Mrs. Roberts brought to the attention of the Commissioners
a new Proposed Ordinance repealing Chapter 13Z of the

only by the Town Clerk for the first reading and this will
be scheduled for the next Regular Meeting, October 4, 1977.

Ordinance at the Regular Meeting on

was in full agreement.
Mrs. Roberts asked the Commission what the
Commission wished to do relative to Mr.
Heydasch's extension of 90 days to comply
with Chapter 28z of the Code. Commissioner
Clark suggested that the Town Manager act
administratively based on the consensus of
the Commission. The Commission agreed to
the 90 day extension.
