• The Village Manager reported that he had contacted Mr. Roy LYeber of
Brockway, Weber and Brockway, the Village consulting Engineer and that Mr.
Weber stated that his firm could do a structural analysis and feasibility
study of the Old Country Club building for $300.00. Councilman Gibson inquired
as to what type of report we would be getting for the money and questioned why
the Village should pay so much money for such a report when our own Building
Official could possibly do such an investigation at no cost to the Village.
The Village Manager stated that he would proceed to have the Building Official
conduct such a structural analysis of the building and report back to the
Council the finings of the study as soon as ii was completed.

Recreation Committee that the Council had appointed him as a committee of one
to meet with Mr. Powell. Councilman Thomas again voiced his opinion and desire
that the Council should utilize some type of tape recording device tb.~be used
during Council meetings. The Village Manager stated that he would investigate
the cost of installing such a system.
Councilman Thomas stated that in as much as the New Country Club Board
of Governors had officially been appointed that the letter o£ resignation
from the old Country Club Advisory Board be accepted and that a letter of
appreciation be sent to each member expressing the appreciation of the Council
for their service and stating that they had done an excellent job.

requesting the Village Manager to put a sum of nomey in next year's budget
for the Manager and a member of the Council or the new Planning and Zoning
Board to travel and visit various commercial enterprises in an attempt to
sell North Palm Beach as a desirable place in which to build and establish
new businesses such as department stores. Monies would also be needed to
prepare a brochure for such a venture.

recommend whether or not there should be parking control areas in the Village
and where such areas should be designated.
