Untitled (2) Minutes; Highland Beach Town Commission. August 23, 1960
fiN The regular meeting recessed from August 9, 1960 was called to or-
der at 7:30 p.m. on August 23, 1960 by Mayor Eypel. Also present
were Commtrs Bertash, Jones and Turner, Town Manager Hertwig and Mr.
George F. Emery, Zoning consultant. Comm. Noble was absent.
Reading of the minutes of previous meetings was defferred, by gener-
al agreement in order to allow more time for consultation and discus-
sion of the Zoning revisions with Mr. Emery.
The Town Manager presented and read letter Dated August 19, 1960 from
Town Attorney Lilienthal outlining developenents to date in the suit
relating to the deposit of Twelve Thousand Dollars which the Town
holds as security for completion of the improvements in the subdiv-
ision of Highland Beach Isles. No action was taken.
It was suggested that some definite action should be taken in the mat-
ter of garbage collection, a subject which has been under discussion
for several months. The town Manager referred to his memorandum on the
subject under date of June 15, 1960.
The memorandum on ;Parbage collection, dated June 15, 1960 follows

{ 7 Memo. on proposed Garbage Removal Contract. June 15, 1960.
As discussed in the meeting of June 6, 1960 I have been check-
ing into this matter and wish to report the following.
The matter was discussed with the Town Attorney and he says that
the Town has the right to enter into an arrangement such as has
has been domtemplated by the Town Commission.
We were informed that Alec Stevens was well equipped to handle
the refuse situation and would like a chance to bid on doing the
job. The writer talked with Alec Stevens and he advised me that
he had no adequate truck to handle garbage and would have to get
one if he undertook the Job. He was uncertain as to whether he
would care to undertake the garbage problem again and said he
would send me a letter if he decided to consider the matter ser-
iously. I have heard nothing from him since and I feel sure he
does not wish to again become involved with the garbage removal
business .
I have again checked and discussed figures with the County Sanitai
tion Company and we have arrived at a mutually satisfactory total
of $3,840.00 as the cost for Town garbage removal. This is approx-
imately ten percent less that^ the amount they now receive from the
em) individual owners. If the commission decides they wish to make
this matter of garbage removal a Town matter, it is my opinion that
our best move would be to make our contract with the said County
Sanitation Company. The figure mentioned above, i.e. t-3,840. is
in my opinion a fair one.
Respectfully submitted,
Rudolph W. Hertwig

The matter of the garbage removal problem was discussed from all
angles after which Comm. Jones moved that the Mayor and the Town
Clerk be authorized and directed to enter into a contract with
County Sanitation, to collect garbage and refuse in the Town in
general accordance with the terms of Ordinance 77119, except that
the Town would pay quarterly for said removal of garbage and reSuse.
Town Manager Hertwig offered for consideration Resolution ;`-97 relat-
ing to the matter and Comm. Jones moved that it be approved. Raab(
at Comm. Turner seconded the notion and it was anproved by the affirm-
ative votes of Commtrs 3ertash, Eynel, Jones and Turner without dissent.
Resolution 07 appears in full on the following page, nage 3 of
