Executive report from Mayor Hackman included a letter from the Palm Beach Library
Advisory Committee regarding the establishment of special taxing districts.
This would include all districts in the County which are not now supporting a

of a mil. The Commission decided that more information was needed to determine
whether or not the Commission had the privilege of refusal.

to date, leaving a balance of $15,309.53 outstanding.
Finance Commissioner Bunn reported construction funds which are in investments
were being credited to our account with Walaton•:Company. It was decided to
. determine the amount of accounts payable before re-investing the last credits.
Health ~ Zoning Commissioner Noble reported that governing bodies must have a
biological survey for fixing or altering bulkhead lines within the Town Limits.
The cost is $100.00 per day or any part of. The zoning in Byrd Beach will remain
the same as existed prior to annexation, most of which is by deed restriction.
Public Works Commissioner Wingle reported the installation of more street lights
in Bel Lido. Also the construction of the wall on south line at Town Hall is
completed and is an improvement. Water lines in Bel Lido to service lots on the
side opposite the main were installed whereby two lots could be served with one
line under the street. Construction at the water plant has progressed extensively.
Mayor Hackman added that the residents in Boca Harbor were happy with the improve-
ments and expressed appreciation, as there was concern regarding the construction
in the beginning. The fire station is ready for the overhead doors and then
will be ready for Chief Conklin to check out and prepare to move in the equipment
and men. Commissioner Wingle also approved sodding the area at the rear of the lot
to hold the fill. Prospects of completing the paving of driveways and parking
area and a Town Hall sign was discussed. It was agreed that Dr. Dailey would get
some ideas of design and price for the sign.

should be ready for the next meeting.
Bills and accounts were read and approved for payment by the affirmative vote of

Mrs. Betty Roth asked that the barricade be removed from Highland Beach Drive
as she did not feel that it eras fair to the lot owners on that street to keep
the street barricaded. Mrs. Roth expressed the hope that street lights could
soon be placed on that street which would deter the night traffic and Barking.
