of the meeting of November 15, 1960 were read and approved on
motion of Comm. Turner, seconded by Comm. Noble and the affirmative
votes of Connn'rs Bertash, Eypel, Jones, Noble & Turner without dissent.
A Letter was read dated 12/2/60 from The Beach Taxpayers League of
Delray Beach about a proposed postal sub-station in Delray, east of
the Inland Waterway. After Comm. Turner reported verbally on a meet-
ing he attended concerning this matter, it was the consensus of the
Commission that the Town would support the General idea of a beach
*postal station but keep aloof from any questions affecting the current
controversy about where the post office should be re-located in Delray.
Comm. Noble moved that the Town Manager be directed to write to the
Beach Taxpayers League along the lines indicated above. The notion was
• seconded by Conn. Jones and approved by the affirmative votes of Commis
• Bertash, Eypel, Jones, Noble and Turner. There was no dissent.
The Town Manager reported that it would be in order to designate some
one to act as a director of the Resources Development Board as Mrs.
Noble's term had expired. Comm. Bertash moved that Mrs. Noble be reap-
was seconded byComm. Turner and approved by the
reap-
pointed.

There was no dissent.

to re-locate State Road AlA in order to provide deeper beach front lots
south of the Town. No formal action was taken.
There was discussion of the beach shack erected by Peter 'West and others
near the Cayce residence. The commissioners reaffirmed their earlier
conclusion that the shack must be eliminated and the Town Manager was
directed to take steps to see that this be done.
On motion of Comm. Turner, seconded by Comm. Bertash and the affirma-
tive votes of Conur:'rs Bertash, Eypel, Jones, Noble and Turner, the
Town L:anager was authorized to spend approximately twenty dollars for
a suitable holiday gift for W. H. Kirk, the operator of the water works.
In the same motion the Town Manager was d:* ntflxtw authorized to rake
the correct quarterly payment of 960.00 to County Sanitation for gar-
bage removal in the Town as per contract.

Re. Fellefonte Apts. 'uilding Code Violation.
Recently there has been evidence of some construction work at
Bellefonte Apartments. A large truck load of concrete block was
being delivered there when the writer was passing on AlA and from
the beach it was evident that additions were being made to the
retaining wall around the swimming pool ratio.
This is the wall which blocks passage along the beach and which
was erected by Mr. Mackie without a permit after the swimming
pool was built.
After talking with Mayor Eypel the writer consulted the Town At-
torney and Mr. Lilienthal advised that if the Town intends to exercise
control over I,"r. Mackie's building operations it is first necessary
to give official notice of any violation he is committing.
ActinE on this advice the writer, on November 29, 1960, served
notice on Mr. Mackie to the effect that he was violating Town
Ordinance #108.
'"r. Lilienthal advises that if the Town has violations of this
nature and wishes to assert it's control and meet it's respon.-
e, sibilities, it will have to sue in Circuit Court for an injunc-
• tion or set up a Municipal Court in the Town and try violations
locally.
•
Either process will be complicated, expensive and time consuming.
The municipal court machinery will of course be required eventual-
ly as the Town develops but present ordinances do not provide it
and a special ordinance will have to be drawn. This matter should
have serious consideration in the immediate future.
Respectfully submitted,

Rudolph W. Hertwig, Town Yanagbir. November 30, 1960.
After full discussion of the 3ellefont e situation it was the consen-
sus of the commissioners that they did not wish t6 get involved with
court proceedings if they could be avoided. Comm. Jones moved that
the members of the commission meet informally with Yr. Vlm. Mackie at
the Bellefonte property an', try to work out some amicable arrange-
ment concerning the Bellefonte pool. The motion was seconded by Comm.
Noble and approved by the affirmative votes of Comm'rs Sertash, Eypel,
Jones, Noble and Turner, without dissent and the Town Manager was dir-
t, ected to arrange a meeting.
The meeting was adjourned on motion of Comm. Bertash, seconded by Comm.
Jones and the affirmative votes of all five ommisfloners present.
