Mayor Bell called the Special Meeting to order at 8:01
a.m. and asked the Clerk to call the roll, all members
being present.
Village Attorney Gildan stated that the purpose of this
Special Meeting was because the business at hand will
not carry over until the next Regular Meeting of the
Village Council.
The law suit of Bankers Life and Casualty Company vs.
the Village of North Palm Beacch and others. is scheduled
for trial at 9:00 a.m., Wednesday, March 17, 1971. It
has been suggested by Judge Emmet Choate that the plain-
tiff and defendant parties eliminate those counts and
items not material to the dredge and fill permit portion
of the law suit referred to as Count No. 1, and in the
opinion of Village Attorney Gildan this constituted a
valid emergency that could only be handled by the action
of the Village Council sitting in special session prior
to Wednesday, March 17, 1971.
Councilman Privett made a motion that the attorney be
authorized to drop our counterclaim for removal_of the
fill area of approximately 25 feet by 100 feet, with
the stipulation that Bankers Life and Casualty Company
drop its Count No. 2 of their suit against the Village.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Cadby. All present
voted aye; therefore, motion passed unanimously.
There being no further business to come before the
Council at this Special Meeting, on motion of Council-
man Cadby, seconded by Councilman Watt, all present
voting aye, the meeting was adjourned at 8:26 a.m.
