1958.10.07_TC_MinutesMinutes. ~QIIALIZATION BOARD ON TAX ASSESSMENTS. October 7, 1958.
Town of Highland Beach.
The meeting was called to or~dr at 11:00 a.m. by Mayor Eypel, Also
present were Comm~rs Bertash, Breckinridge and Noble and T.Mr. Hartwig.
Comm. Winston was absent, being out of town.
Minutes of the meetings of September 2nd and 9yh, 1958, were read and
approved on motion of Comm. N'reckinridge, seconded by Comm. Noble and
the affirmative votes oP Commtrs Bertash, Breckinridge, ~y'pel and Noble.
There was no dissent.
Town Manager Hartwig, as Tax Assessor, reported that as directed by the
Commission he had maintained regular office hours at the Town Hall on
September 9, 10 and 11, so that any interested pa#zi.es could examine the
1958 Tax Roll, or protest the same, but that no persons had appeared to
do so on those .days or on any other day. He therefore presented for
consideration, Resolution #82, approving the Tax Roll for 1958.
Resolution #82 was read and discussed at length chiefly because the
new Tax Roll shows an overall increase of ce~ra~-erx more than 400
over that of preceding years, such increase being a direct result of
a complete revaluation of the Palm Beach County Tax Ro11 which the Town
Tax Assessor uses as a base for Town Assessments.
Mayor Eypel explained that he and Tax Assessor Hartwig had given close
attention to the matter of the new Tax Ro11 and had worked in close co-
operation with the personal of the County Tax office in order to insure
that the re-valuation of~the Town property be kept as`low as possible
and duly proportionate. He also pointed out that the new budget he
would submit would call for a drop in millage, almost proportionate to
the increase in assessments.
Comm. Breckinridge moved that Resolution #82, approving the 1958 Tax
Roll, be approved. The motion was seconded by Comm. Noble and was pass-
ed and approved by the affirmative votes of Commtrs Bertash, Breckin-
ridge, ~ypel and Noble, without dissent.
Resolution #82 appears in full on the following page, page 2, of these
minutes.

Minutes. Highland Beach Town Commission.' October 7, 1958.
A regular monthly meeting,
The meeting was called to order at 9:30 a.m. by Mayor Fypel. Also pre-
sent were Commtrs Bertash, Breckinridge & Noble and T.lti2gr. Hertwig.
Minutes of the meetings of September 2 and September 9, 1958, were
read and approved on motion of Comm. Breckinridge, seconded by Comm.
Noble and the affirmative votes of Commtrs Bertash, Breckinridge,"impel
and Noble. There was no dissent.
The Mayor and the Town Manager gave a verbal resume of their talk with
Mr. Peter Foglia and Mr. Homer Martin, both of the Highland Beach Dev-
elopment Corporation, concerning the fact that the contract and bond
for the development of Bel Lido is due to expire on October 14, 1958.
Te essential facts are that the Development Company has engaged Zinke
S ith, Inc,, to complete the improvements, within a a~tt~ra~4 period of
from sixty to ninty days. To keep their contract, with the Town, in
order they have requested a six months extension of the termination date
of their contract and performance bond. Provided the legal rights of
the Town are protected, obviously the right thing to do under the cir-
cumstances is for the Town to grant the requested extension it was the
unanimous opinion of the commissioners that such a program be carried o
out. Accordingly Comm. Breckinridge moved that the matter be referred
to Town Attorney Lilienthal and that his recommendations be carried out.
The motion was seconded by Comm. Nobl® and carried by the affirmative
votes of Commtrs Bertash, Breckinridge, Eypel & Noble, without dissent.
At 11:00 a.m. the meeting was recessed for a half hour, on motion of
Comm. Noble, seconded by Comm,. Breckinridge, and the affirmative notes
of Commfrs Bertash, Breckinridge, Eypel and Noble, with no dissent.
At 11:30 a.m. the meeting was again called to order by Mayor Eypel. In
attendance were the same personal who were present at the earlier meet
ing, During the recess an inf ormal discussion was held with Mr. Bert
Willis of Zinke, Smith, Inc. about some proposals of theirs concerning
the improvement of the Bel Lido subdivision. Noformal action was taken.
Mayor ~ypel presented a revised estimate of receipts and disbursements
for the fiscal year starting November 1, 1958 and offered it for the
