A discussion ensued on a proposal recen.tl~r presented by Burnup and Sims, inc.,
of Wset Palm Beach, to provide Community ~~:ea~~ '.~Y.ievi.sion Service to the Village
of Tequesta on a franchise basis. ~a.c1~ couucil~an had received a copy of the pro-

McCabe, Mr. Zoller and Col. Schul3 spoke on behalf of the Tequesta Country Club
and the difficulties and inconvenience caused by the flooding of the golf course
and various stmt areas in the community during the recent heavy rains. The
drainage situation in Jupiter in the Pines and along Tequesta Drive and Seabrooit
Road was also discussed and it was the general feeling of the councilmen that piece
meal, emergency repairs would not be a proper solution to the problems. Councilmen
Cornelius stated the Village did not have foods with which to make ma,3or improve-
ments to dra,f~ge and that perhaps special assessments might be necessary to
accomplish improvements. Sylvester moved, second by Valier and passed that
various catch basins be cleaned out at once. In order to find out what the answer
to the drainage problems is, Bledsoe moved, second by Sylvester and passed that
estimates be obtained for the coat of an overall drainage plan for~the entire
Village and outlying areas to be prerpared by a qualified engineer. It was ex-
plained that some of the problems were occuring because the drainage in some of
the subdivisions had not been completed and and adequately provided for by the
various developers.
Mr. Ralph Cabanni.s asked what the Village intended to do abut the drainage
on Old Dixie Highway at the Rinker~s Plant. Iie was advised ths.t this was a
coulaty road and the Village Manager «a.s instructed to can.,act Comtaissaoner Van
~aessell about this matter. It was also'suggested that Village residents should
contact the commissioner about this drainage problem.
Councilman Sylvester stated he thought the council should consider studying
the types of business which might want to come into the Village i.n the C~-2
a~+.tolosale Commercial and Light Industrial District oa ~ilr~d"Ave~'~ west of
the F.E.C. Railway.
