The Village Manager read a letter received from the Palm Beach
County Resources Development Board whereby they requested three members from
the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida, be appointed directors, After dis-
cussion, the council requested on motion of Councilman Schwencke, seconded by
Councilman H. A. Ross, all members voting aye, the Village Attorney prepare
a resolution appointing Albin R. Olson, Charles A. Cunningham, and Jay H.
White directors to serve three, two and one-year terms respectively.
Councilman Schwencke read a report to the council regarding the
matter of charges to be assessed the Village of North Palm Beach for space rent
in the Village Hall, together with charges for utilities and employee services.
After discussion by the council, motion was made by Councilman H. A. Ross,
seconded by Councilman Tdhite, all members voting aye, that the Vila ge Attorney
prepare a resolution setting the rental, utility, and employee services charges
for the period January 1, 1957, to and including October 31, 1957, at $9,974.
The following is a copy of the report:
"BUILDING COPR~iITTEE REPORT
•
"This is a report of the committee to ascertain a fair rental charge.
to the Village for the space occupied in the building and also to measure
whatever other expenses have been supplied the Village by North Palm Beach
Properties, Inc. since January 1, 1957.
"The schedule sets out a fair and equitable rental charge for the
space occupied and also a fair and equitable method of charging for services
that have been supplied the Village by North Palm Beach Properties, Inc.
"In passing, let me state that the rental based on the gross of
12 per cent a year is well below that which normal investors will accept for
rental property. As regards the charges for employment, only three people are
shown on the schedule that do part time work for the Village. Many other
employees of North Palm Beach Properties, Inc. from time to time have been used
in the interest of the Village but no attempt has been made to charge for their
services. It is my opinion that these figures will be sufficient to render an
accounting through the twelve calendar months of 1957 and that they should be
reviewed shortly after the beginning of next year to ascertain the charges for
1958.
