Mr. George Offutt., III appeared before the meeting to discuss dressing
up Tequesta Drive from U.S. #1 to the Tequesta Country Club Community Gate.
His suggestion was to plant 30 foot trunk Royal Palms at intervals of
7 feet on each side of the roadway for the entire distance, approximately
1 miles. He stated that upon his investigation he could contract for this
size and quantity of Royal Palm trees at a cost of $67.50 each in the ground.
He estimated costs as follows:

Leaving a balance of $7,000, proposed as the Village of Tequestats share
of the project, He suggested that the Village sell a 20 year bond to cover
their share. He also suggested that he would be willing to purchase the
bond. After much discussion, it was unanimously agreed by the Council that
the planting of the trees would be a very great asset to the Community.
The matter of raising the money at this time was turned over to the Attorney

necessary for securing the $7,000. without encumbering the present financial
position of the Village. Motion was unanimously adopted.

area, and asked permission to erect a tank 32 feet high on the present well
site on Tequesta Drive approi:fmately 300 feet from the road. He advised

plans along this line and advising them of the Villagets desire to assist them
in any way possible. It was the general feeling of the Council that our
Police Car should not provide ambulance service for the entire area.
