The Village Manager explained that the purpose of this resolution was to correct certain typographical errors in the original resolution. On motion of Councilman Hahn, seconded by Councilman Bell, all members voting aye, the Village Manager was instructed to write a letter to Father schlinkman of the St. Clars's Catholic Church, with a copy to Bishop Carroll in Miami, stating that the drainage canal running between the St. Clare's Catholic Church site and the north border of Crown Estates within the Village has become filled with water due to the filling in and damming up of the canal, thus causing a health manace, unattractive nuisance and a great danger to the lives of children living in the area and attending the Church school, and asking that the Church do everything in its power to alleviate this dangerous situation.

Councilman Bell stated that the Youth Activities Organisation had requested the opportunity to be heard before the Council. Mr. Edward Baggett representing the Youth Activities Organization then gage a list of activities, report and revenues and expense breakdown for this past year which showed that a total of $3,967.72 was available and had been collected and that they had spent $3,802.00 on Youth Activities mainly Little League expenses_ Mr. Baggett had stated that the Village has grown to a point where it definitely needs a full time paid recreation leader. Mr. Baggett also stated that the baseball program has many problems mainly the lack of areas for ball playing in that there are not enough fields available to allow all the boys that want to play to be hble to play. The point was made, however, by the Council that the Little League season is only two to three months in duration and that we must worry about providing for recreational needs on a year round basis to all age groups both boys and girls and not be restricted solely to baseball. Vice -Mayor Lewis recommended that the Yough Activities Organization meet with the Recreation Committee to determine to what extent the Youth Acti- vities Organization will cooperate with the Committee and Council in organizing and operating a complete and well rounded recreation program and to come back with these recommendations to the Council as to who will operate what. The Village Manager was instructed to contact the Chairman of the Recreation Committee to inform him of the Council's desires and to set up a meeting with the Youth Activities Organization. This should be done prior to budget hearings and reported back to the Council before then. A letter from Mr. Jack Schwencke as Chairman of the North Palm Beach Country Club Board of Governors was read stating that the Board did not feel that it was necessary to have someone in the Village Government Countersign their checks and that such a requirement infringed upon the autonomy of the Board. The Village Attorney and Village Manager saw no great problem or object- ion to this request except that under our Charter any checks written for an amount of $500.00 or more had tohave a Counter Signature by a Village Official. The Village Attorney was then directed to have prepared for the Council at its next meeting the necessary papers to amend the Ordinance to show such a change whereby no counter signature would be required up to $500.00. The Village Clerk read a letter from the Village Library Board present- ing three recommendations that the Board had adopted. These were 1. that the Council endorse the creation of a County Library System 2. That the Village hire a summer replacement for Miss Pauline Fancher, the Librarian, to that the Library could remain open during the summer months; the rate of pay to be $1.25 per hour not to exceed a total of $400. by October, 1964 3. that the Village accept the responsibility of operating a municipal Library and to include it as a municipal function. The Village Manager recommended that their recommendation #3 be deferred until budget discussions begin next month. Vice -Mayor Lewis yielded the chair to Councilman Gibson, after which Vice -Mayor Lewis moved that the Village Manager be authorized to hire a part time librarian for this summer not to exceed $400. Councilman Bell seconded this motion and all Councilmen voted aye. Councilman Gibson mentioned that he had accompanied the Building Official on the structural inspection of the Old Country Club Building and stated that the building is generally in good shape although there was.quite a bit of rotten timber in structural members discovered, some of which require immediate attention. The best area was certainly the old dinning room and the upstairs living quarters immediately over it. Since the Council had only received this report this evening further discussion was curtailed on the matter. Vice -Mayor Lewis had mentioned that he and other Councilmen had received a memo from Councilman Thomas: He stated that he did not wish to comment on the memo except for three brief items. These were that the Village record all of its fixed assets in a card file in line with recommendations recorded in prior audits. The Village Manager reported that he was aware of these former recommendations and that he was proceeding to record such fixed assets but in a more permanent manner in a ledger rather than in a card file from which cards could be easily removed or lost. The second point was that the letter from Mr. Spence to Mr. Shay was very well cone and that Councilman Thomas would like publicly to aotnote. Thirdly, that Mr. Ed Jacomo, the Art Center Director, be commended for a fine Art Show that he had presented this past week. • • • Council Meeting Held July 14, 1964 Pag8 J.
