Brown, Director,-.Turtle Creek Country Club to tell the Gouncil some of the problems that they have had with trucks getting permits to supply Turtle Creek Country Club, Mr, Brown said that the biggest problem that they have had is that the trucks don't have the required permits and are being • turned back and these deliveries are vital to the operations of the Club, One of the problems that was pointed out is the firm with. mare than one truck in its operations are not alway sending in the truck that is permitted and are not willing to buy a perma_t for ~;ach track, ie, Coca Cola, beer trucks, meat suppliers. These people generally have a whole fleet of trucks that they would have to buv several permits for but make only one delivery a wee?t, Mr. Frown asked Council if the companies could buy a fleet permit, Mr, Brawn said. that another problem they have is that the trucker may not be the owner of operation and is oat aware of the permittin~~ rules and regulations, I~~e also told Ca~_ar.~ci.l that a'~,~ of the companies oppose the permitting; of truces to use Tequesta's roads. ~'ir, Gearg;e C-r~abtree Director, Turtle Creek Country Club told Council that the Club has been in operation since 1x65 and. hats never had problems in the past and canny' understang~ why all of a sudden these problems and restrictions have arisena Mapes told Mr, Crabtree that the Village is not picking an the Turtle Creek Country Club but that these restrictions are necessary to the welfare and peace of the Tequesta taxpayers in ?keeping thru traffic out of the area.

Council, the Village Attorney and the Village Manager did not agree with that suggestion.
