Dear Mr. Flatley,
The Board of Directors wishes to thank the City Commission for
helping the Graves Museum during its renovation and the first
year and one-half of operations. We also want to thank you
personally for all your advice and assistance and wish you well
in your new position in Davie, though we will miss you very
much.
We need to ask the City for temporary assistance in grounds
maintenance. Our small slaff is unable to keep up with trimming
and weedang of the new landscaping. We have tried continually
to enlist volunteers to keep the exterior looking neat, but have
been almost totally unsuccessful. Charles Zidar is pursuing
contacts with the Boy Scouts to take on this pro,ect, without
success so far. Meanwhile, the property is becoming overrun
with unsightly weeds. Eventually, we anticipate the ground
covers to grow to sufficient size to choke out the undesirable
plants.
It is our desire to provide the South Florida region and Dania in
particular with an educational and cultural institution they can be
proud of . lf you can help by lending a few of your ground crew on
a temporary basis, library and Museum patrons as well as people
passing by on heavily travelled Route 1 through Dania would
benefit.
Thank you for consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
xec. Director

Collection of unpaid liens
Attached is a copy of my memo of March 9, 1995 regarding the
collection of garbage fees in the Criffin Rd area and suggesting a change in
the method of billing this area.
ln addition, I would like to discuss the possibility of employing a
collection agency to assist in collecting these outstanding bills. This agency
could be helpful collecting unpaid utility bills, sewer assessments, code
enforcement and lot mowing liens.
The City currently has no policy in place for the collection of these
outstanding receivables except to Iien the properties in those cases allowable
by law. Once a lien is placed, no effort is made to collect unless the property
changes hands. Recently, two properties which were liened underwent
foreclosure. Since the mortgage holder has preference, we were unable to
collect on the liens.
I have attached a proposal from Transworld Systems, lnc. for collecting
delinquent accounts and would like to pursue this further if the City
Commission approves the concept of utilizing a collection agencv'
Please place this item on the next workshop for discussion.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:ROBERT FTATLEY, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MARIE JABALEE, FINANCE D
SANITATION COLLECTION
DATE: MARCH 9,1995
The situation regarding collection of garbage fees in the area annexed January, 1991, has
passed the point where it is necessary to revise the way that area is being billed for this
service
Prior to the annexation, this area was billed through non-ad valorem assessment on the
annual November tax notice. It is my feeling that we shouid go back to that method of
billing since under the current method we have no collection leverage other than to lien
the property. After liens have been assessed against these properties, monthly charges
continue to accrue, with penalties added. we cannot collect these charges unless the
property changes hands.
Under State Statute 197.3632 uniform method for the levy, collection and enforcement
of non-ad valorem assessments, we can pr€pare and certify the non-ad valorem
assessment rotl to the tax collector for collection through +.he November tax notice.
There is a one-time procedure requiring the city to hold a public hearing, after publishing
notice for 4 consecutive weeks, to adopt a resolution stating it's intent to use this method
of collection. The public hearing should be prior to January 1. By September 15 of each
year thereafter, the City shall certify the non-ad valorem assessment roll to the tax
collector. In the first year, the process is long and involved. However, it would assure
proper collection of garbage fees and eliminate the need for monthly billing and

Dear Marie,
Thank you for the courtesy of your time and interest you expressed in Transr+or1d
Systens during our recent meeting. Per your request, we would like to place
before The Clty of Dania a proposal for collecting your delinquent Tenants Bi11s,
Sanitation Bi11s, Bad Checks and any other outstanding accounts for a flat fee
of only $7.75 per problem situation.
For the incredibly lor cost of $7.75, Transworld Systens wj-11 work each account
thoroughly and systeuatically for a period of 90 days, making (5) demands for
payment. hle w'i1I brlng to bear the fu1l impact of a third party intervention
and say everything it is possible for a collectioo agency to say in todays
legal climate. T S I wiLl- work every account regardless of rhether the
balance is $50 or 55000 or located in Dania or anywhere in the free world.
A11 noney recovered ri11 be paid directly to The City of Dania, and when the
account is paid in fu1l, we will send a Thank you letter, thus oaintaining
your goodr.r-i1l. We also provide you with a hol-d-harmless agreement which
protects The City of Dania from anyLhing ue do or don't do.
Ue are proposing to vork up to 500 problem situations, within a 2 year period,
for $3875.00, which is only $7.75 per account.
Ue look forward to the opportunity to be of service to The City of Dania.
