The regular monthly meeting was called to order by Mayor Hackman at 7:15 P. M.
?~ January 4, 1966. All Commissioners were present.

the affirmative vote of all Commissioners.
~~ri/ey
Commissioner Johnson reported tax payments as very good. Town Manage supplemented
this with excellent .
Commissioner Bunn advised that the fiscal year audit was completed and a copy posted
on the Town Bulletin Board. He suggested that some action should be taken on
Ordinance #107 , passed on final reading April 11 , 1951 , which reduced construction
occupational license fees to 50% of the amounts required in the Town Code. He noted
that this ordinance, passed to encourage and stimulate building, had accomplished
nothing and- by eliminating it, the Town Code fees would again apply and any needed
changes to make fees comparable to other cities, and conform to regulations of the
Southern Standard Building Code, could be considered later. Commissioner Jones moved
that Ordinance #107 be rescinded. Commissioner Noble seconded and all Commissioners
voted in the affirmative.
Commissioner Bunn said there was nothing new to report on fire protection for Higland
Beach but there would be a meeting of the County Commission January 18th at 9:30 A. M.
in County Court House -Room 114 and the Town's request to be included in Fire District
#9 with a sub fire station adjoining the Town Hall would be acted on. He felt approval
of the town proposal would be given but all Commissioners should make an effort to
attend the meeting.
Mayor Hackman added that getting fire protection was next in importance to building the
new water plant and also urged attendance . .
Commissioner Bunn stated that he had protested the 1965 County Tax assessment on
the Town Hall, but being classed as a renter prior to acquiring the property, his exemp-
tion claim was denied. Commissioner Jones moved that the 1965 tax be paid and a
request made for exemption in 1966. Commissioner Johnson seconded and all Commis-
. - sinners voted in the affirmative.
Commissioner Bunn stated that he had checked various prices on much needed chairs
for the Town Hall and that Boca Hardware had offered suitable chairs for $4.29 less 20%.
By general agreement, the Commission approved immediate purchase.
Commissioner Noble reported that Zoning Ordinance #132 was being printed and would
be available in handy colored folders .
Commissioner Jones read Resolution #1~~'authorizing the Town of Highland Beach to sign
a contract with Brockway, Owen and Anderson Engineers, Inc. , for engineering services with
reference to proposed water plant improvements. ~Te mentioned some of the reasons for
selecting the above firm: They were the engineers for the present water plant, and other
town construction that needed engineering service: their records and extensive knowledge
of the town should cut the cost and avoid any delay that might occur with a new firm that

was not familiar with the background and that past performance records had proved
them capable, reliable and efficient. Commissioner Jones moved that Resolution #133
be approved and passed. Commissioner Johnson seconded and all Commissioners voted
in the affirmative .
Rrie,sol,Iution #I3is included as page ~ of these minutes. Ordinance #133 was read

Commissioner Bunn moved that Ordinance #134 be approved on first reading. Commis-
sioner Jones seconded and all Commissioners voted in the affirmative.
In a town topic and problem discussion Commissioner Bunn mentioned that if the fire
station was approved, a building addition 14 x 45 feet - 12 feet high would be required
for housing the fire truck and personnel and would have to be considered in water plant
planning. Mr. Milton Beekman commented on the delay in getting the sign ordinance
approved. It was explained that this sizeable revision job which he had completed some
time ago had only: been temporarily delayed due to the urgent need of getting the new
zoning and building ordinances enacted. Town Manager Dailey stated that the, erosion
of lots without sea walls in Bel Lido was another problem that needed attention; that
these lots were gradually being eaten away; that sea walls on adjacent lots were

being weakened and eventually the road, which is town maintained, could be damaged
and that filling, without bulkheads, was only a temporary solution. He advised that all
the owners of these lots had been written with little success and that some other method
should be considered. After a short discussion it was agreed that legal advise was
needed and the town attorney should be consulted before the town took further action.
Mr. Peter Guala spoke about standing and stagnant water on his property after heavy
rains due to a drainage problem and he hoped that the Commission might help him find
a solution. Commissioner Bunn and Hackman suggested that a sump pump with a piped
outlet to the canal might give relief and Commissioner Bunn volunteered to furnish a drum
and pipe for the experiment .
