At 9:30 A.M., Tuesday, June 12, 1962, the regular monthly meeting

Country Club.

and Bowden. Also present were-Village Manager Harp, Village Attorney
Lord, Police Commissioner Sutton and Police Chief Dahlmeyer.
Mayor Cornelius called the meeting to order. J.P. Kurtz, former
Mayor and Councilman was presented an engraved gavel and certificate of
appreciation for his services to the Village as first Mayor and Councilman.
The Treasurer's Report and Expenditures for the month of May 1962 were
discussed. The Report showed balances at May 31, 1962 as follows:
General Fund., .................. $14.,095-96
Beautification Fund ..........#** lA84- 96

T1
Upon motion by Mr. Valier, seconded by Mr. Lathrop and passed, the
Treasurer's Report and Expenditures were approved.. Future Treasurer's
reports will be mailed to Councilmen a few days prior to the meeting.
Upon motion by Mr. Lathrop, seconded by Mr. Valier and passed, the
Treasurer was authorized to pay off $2,000. principal on outstanding bonds
and 6 months interest at July 1, 1962.
A discussion was held on beautification of the Village, especially the
streets. Mention was made that signs along Tequesta Drive are beginning to
clutter up the area and distract from the beauty of the area. Mayor Cornelius
appointed Mrs. Herman W. Schull, Jr. chairman of a Village Beautification
Committee and invited her to bring ideas of the committee to the next
Council meeting for discussion.
Police Commissioner Sutton read Police Chief Dahlmeyer's report for
May 1962. A letter from Chief Dahlmeyer requesting the Council to submit a
letter to Palm Beach County Sheriff's Department requesting that he be made
a Bonded Deputy was read and after discussion, the Clerk was authorized to
prepare and submit such a letter, upon motion by Mr. Valier, seconded by
Mr. Bowden and passed.
A letter from Homer W. Ring concerning the speeding, drag races and
noise from inadequately mufflered vehicles in and about Country Club
Community, was read, with a request that the Police Department correct these
conditions at once for the protection of the health and welfare of the
Village Citizens. A general discussion of enforcement of traffic regulations,
patrolling and all phases of the Police operation were discussed. Police
Chief Dahlmeyer was ordered not to make Police calls in such places as
Bermuda Terrace, Anchorage Point, Waterway Village, that part of Jupiter in
the Pines in the Town of Jupiter or any place outside the territorial limits
of the Village. Upon receiving calls from residents of these areas, they
are to be notified that they cannot be serviced by the Tequesta Police Dept.

and that they are under the jurisdiction of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's
Department. After the Police Chief is made a Bonded Deputy by the Palm Beach
County Sheriff's Department, he can make such calls, but only when called
upon to do so by the Sheriff's Department.
A discussion ensued on the issuance of traffic tickets for traffic
violations and the holding of Village Court. A letter from Mrs. Marion M:
Cromwell, Village Judge, requesting acceptance of her resignation from thif
position was read. Since a replacement had not been located at this date,
the Village Manager was asked to contact Mrs. Cromwell to retain the position
until a replacement is found, ask her if any of the legal staff in her office
would consider the position and set up a weekly date with her for the hold-
ing of Village Court.
Upon motion by Mr, Valier, seconded by Mr. Bowden and passed, Council
advised Police Chief that they would be wholeheartedly behind him in any
traffic tickets issued and that Village Court time should be immediately
arranged with the Village Judge.
Mr. B. W. Renninger., representing Tequesta Development Corporation,
developers of Country Club Point, appeared before the Council and provided
them with new plat and specifications which had been prepared in compliance
with terms of a special meeting held May 29th and as suggested by Village
Engineer Brockway, Weber and Brockway, Inc. Plans and specifications are
to be sent to engineer for his approval. Council authorized the use of a
concrete cradle instead of a headwall at all storm sewer outlets to the
Canal. Mr. Lathrop stated that he had conferred with the U.S. Gypsum Co.
engineer about this, and they believed the cradle plus sealing of hole bet�een
bulkhead and drainage pipe to be quite adequate.
A discussion was held on the type of bond or other arrangement that
could be made between the Village and the Developer for assurance of the
completion of the required road improvements. On motion made and passed,
Council authorized Tequesta Development Corp, to deposit in Escrow with the
Village the sum of $21,587, representing the amount of developer's contract
with Rubin Construction Co, $19,625. plus 10% $1,962. Attorney Lord is to
draw up proper agreement among the three parties concerned -- Village of
Tequesta, Tequesta Development Corp., and Rubin Construction Co. Written
certification from developerls engineer that street has been installed
according to plans and specifications will be authority for the Village to
pay out of Escrow Fund 90% of the cost of the contract cost of the construc-
tion of the street, Check to be made payable to both the developer and
contractor. Thus 20% will be retained in Escrow. As each street is certified
by developer's engineer, funds will be released as described above. Developer
advised that their engineer would give Village certification as to proper
construction of the drainage according to plans and specifications. Upon
deposit of $21,587. in Escrow by Tequesta Development Corp. and signing of
agreement by all parties concerned, the Mayor and Clerk are hereby authorized
to sign the Plat of Country Club Point.
Upon motion by Mr. Lathrop, seconded by Mr. Bowden, the Treasurer was
authorized to open an Escrow Account in the Atlantic National Bank, West
Palm Beach, in which Escrow funds will be deposited and also authorized
signatures of any two of the following Village officers: Mayor, Vice Mayor,,
Treasurer, Village Manager on all checks of the Escrow Account. All funds
are to be released in accordance with terms of agreement as drawn up by the
Village Meeting - June L2, .;.9J2 -- Page 3.

as described in their petition for annexation was read. Mr. Lathrop
moved, seconded by Mr. Turnbull that Ordinance No. 45 be adopted. Motion
was passed and all Councilmen being present, Ordinance No. 45 was adopted
on first reading.

Re; Country Club Point
Development Plans
Dear Mr. Harp:
In accordance with your letter of-May 24, 1962 we
have reviewed the development plans for the proposed Country
Club Point S/D in Tequesta.
I nasmu -ch as the Village at this time has no :specific
construction requirements, our critique of the development plans
and comments that follow are based on subdivision requirements
in effect in Palm Beach County.
1.. At least one bench mark should be referenced on the
development plans and a notation should appear as to what the
elevations indicat0d on the plans are referenced to, (such as
U. S. Coast and Geodetic survey datum, etc.)
2.The concrete drain pipe should be referred to more
completely as to specifications to which it is manufactured and
describe method of jointing.
3. The drainage structures are insufficiently detailed
for proper construction. Solid block should be used with cement
plastered sidewalls inside and out.
4. Concrete for catch basin base .slab should develop an
ultimate strength of 2500 psi and should be so noted on the plans.
.Steel reinforcing is not designated.
5. 5. All storm sewer outlets to the canal should be equipped
with headwalls and adequate details should be provided on the plans
to allow proper construction of same, together with proper location.
6. Road grades should be not less than a minimum 0.1% slope.
7. The design engineer should submit drainage computations
in order that the run —off coefficient, rainfall intensity and
quantity used in the design of the proposed drainage system might
be checked.

8. The proposed paving details submitted are incomplete
as the method of compaction of the shell base is not mentioned.
The source of the shell rock for the base should be noted to
come from a County approved source or source approved by the de-
sign engineer. Turnout radii should be a minimum of 30 feet
and all turnouts should be fitted with flush curb headers.
9. No mention is made as to the method of pipe instal-
lation or roadway preparation should muck or unsuitable materials
be encountered.
10. Existing paved road elevations are not indicated on
the plans.

To the Village Council:
Gentlemen;
In my conversation with a Mr. Schenkel at the Sheriff's
Office in West Palm Beach, I was informed in regards to my being
a bonded Deputy, to explain to our Village Council, that, an app-
lication for a Bonded Deputies card is handled in such a manner
as to not have any confusion or so any Tom, nick or Harry cannot
be issued a card and be given any authority except by the Town -
ships or Village's that deem it a necessity for their Police Dept.
to have one in order to function properly, and to be allowed to
go out of their boundaries.
In making such application by the Village, to the Sheriff's
Dept. �` was advised to send such a letter direct to Mr. Taylor
the Sheriff, stating, the why and whereof of such application.
Such letter must be signed by the Mayor, Police Commissioner,
and Village Clerk.
Hoping this will meet with your approval and consideration.
Respectfully Submitted,
Your Chief of Police
