Mayor Marks called the meeting to order at 7:20 p.m. All members of Council were

PURPOSE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING
The purpose of the Public Hearing was to hear comments from the Public concerning a
proposed settlement of claim by the Village ofi North Palm Beach to SAS Vending &
• Leasing, Co., Inc., in the amount of $13,750.00.
COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
Manny Grinn, 536 Greenway Drive, questioned why a second agreement had been
entered into, unbeknownst to the Country Club Administrative Board and the Village
Council, which said that the Village would no longer participate in the gross revenues of
the vending machines that SAS generated. Mr. Grinn said that after the second
agreement had been made, SAS Vending was told to remove their machines, which
resulted in a lawsuit for loss of profits. Additionally, Mr. Grinn felt that the settlement
should not be included in a line item for "Special Legal Services", because that would
inaccurately indicate that the expense was for attorney fees, rather than settlement. Mr.
Grinn stated that he thinks the Village Council never saw either of the contracts relating
to SAS Vending.
Village Manager Dennis Kelly clarified that the order to remove the vending machines
occurred between the two contracts, not after the second contract.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further comments from the public to be heard, the meeting adjourned at
. 7:26 p.m.
