All members of the staff were present. Mayor Valente gave the invocation and Vice Mayor Marks led the INVOCATION & Council and the public in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Minutes of Regular Session held Thursday, June 23, 1983 APPROVAL OF were approved as written. MINUTES The Council discussed the memorandum they had received from DISCUSSION RE W. H. Brown concerning MacArthur Park. In the memo, Mr. Brown MAC ARTHUR informed the Council he had received a telephone call from PARK - CLOSING Mike Bullock of the Department of Natural Resources. Mr. Bullock OFF OF SR informed Mr. Brown that the Department of Transportation has in- 703 formed the DNR that they would have no objection to closing off 5R 703 if the DNR deemed it would enhance the park. However, should the DNR desire to close off SR 703, the DOT would rather transfer title to either the County or the Village and let them handle it. Mayor Valente informed the Council that late this afternoon we received a letter and a map, for the Council's perusal, from Doug Strickland, Chief of Bureau of Parks, Lands, and Develop- ment, Division of Recreation and Parks, wanting an answer by July 20th about the same subject. Mr. Brown addressed the Council. He stated he felt he had expressed his feeling in the memorandum he wrote. He said he thought that the effect of this on North Palm Beach government itself is the. only question that is germane. Whether it benefits the park or not, he did not know. Mr. Brown stated that the Village is responsible for policing and patroling the road, and if the road was taken over by.the park, in other words you deeded it to the park, then the respon- sibility would be to the park rangers and the. Village would not be responsible for maintenance or patroling the road. Councilwoman Nolan moved that we write to the Department of MOTION DIED FOR Transportation, telling them that we do not feel that there LACK OF A SECOND should be any closing off of SR 703, and it should be left as a right-of-way and not made for more parking. The motion died for lack of a second. Minutes of Regular Session Held Thursday, July 14, 1983 Page 2 Mr. Brown stated. that he did not feel it should be a letter, it just should be in the minutes and it should be directed to the Department of Natural Resources. Mayor Valente said they want an answer by the 20th. Therefore, we will just have to tell them that the Council is not going to be able to do anything and that. we would like more time to study this. Mr. Brown said that the idea.of the 20th is comments on the park. Mike Bullock said he needed only a verbal answer from me over the phone as to the Village`s position on the closing of SR 703. After much discussion on this subject, it was the general consensus of the Village Council to leave SR 703 open. Therefore, Mr. Brown will call Mr. Bullock and so advise him.
