Mr. Flatley advised that on June 16 the Aragon Group presented another proposal that is provided in the backup and that his recommendation is to present another counter proposal for a flat 2 million dollars which is in line with the two appraisals conducted by FAU. Commissioner Mikes mentioned that every year since he has been on the Commission he has been frustrated with the Seafair facility as Mr. Steven Snyder has not maintained the facility or treated the City fairly. Commissioner Mikes recommended to look into the idea of hiring a lawfirm to break the lease with Seafair based on bad management of the facility. Commissioner Jones agreed that FAU is not the bully in this situation and that there may be a need to take legal aoion against Seafair in an effort to pursue a better opponunity for the City. Vice Mayor Benino didn't believe that the negotiations should be handled in a public forum and that there is a better way to negotiate this deal possibly by involving Broward County to attract new business into the County. Mayor Hyde stated his opposition to conducting business like this in an executive session format as the City Commission is a public entity and must conduct business in the open. 8REGAI,AR MEETING JUNE,27, 7995 Mayor Hyde expressed his dissatisfaction with the recommendation and the length of time it has taken on the Seafair property. He stated his desire to work with FAU as long as it is equitable to the City but his feelings that the City Manager should not be negotiating back and fonh with the Aragon Group any longer since they do not present themselves before the public for scrutiny of their proposal. Karla Coleman, FAU, mentioned that it takes time to negotiate these rypes of pro.iects and that it also took time to obtain the appraisals on the propeny. She suggested the idea of hiring a third pany to sit down with both sides, not the University, in a non-binding serring ro see if there is an offer to be made that both sides can agree on. If there is no offer, then FAU is under pressure by Tallahassee to pursue another location for their facility. A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Jones to accept the recommendation from the City Manager to present the counter offer for a flat 2 million dollars and to prese[t a 30 day time frame on the negotiations.

Marie Jabalee, Acting City Clerk/Finance Director, explained that Pembroke Pines has officially notified Reuter Rerycling, Inc. that they consider them in default of the agreement because they have sold to rWaste Management, Inc. Pembroke Pines is urging the other cities to notify Reuter of its default status based on the facility being a transfer station and Reuter not living up to the recycling arrangement in the agreement. Emerson Allsworth, rWaste Management, Inc., advised that \W'aste Management Inc. has signed a contract to acquire the stock of Reuter Recycling of Florida, Inc. and the purchase of the stock will mean that Waste Management, Inc. will in effect become Reuter Rerycling, Inc. He stated that it is his client's intention to honor all existing contracts and the City of Dania contract will be undisturbed. Mr. Allswonh advised that Pembroke Pines is stating that the four cities have a right of first refusal to buy the plant and that Reuter is in default because they are not recycling. Mr. Allsworth requested the Commission to give them an opportunity to work this situation out and to come back to the Commission with funher information since the stock purchase .just took place.

Jay Field, Chairperson of the Dania Airport Advisory Committee, explained that the Committee recommended to hire Roben Eisengrein who is a retired FAA attorney to negoriare with the County in regard to the airport expansion litigation as a way to reduce legal fees. Mr. Field also brought up concern by the Board that the City is compromising their legal position when they are discussing legal strategies in public meetings as George Spofford is requesting this information from the City after the meetings. Mr. Field recommended that the Commission discuss legal strategies in executive sessions only. Vice Mayor Benino stated that it was his understanding that information from the closed sessions was not to be released to the public until after the conclusion ofthe litigation. 10 JUNE 27, 7995 Mayor Hyde stated his feelings that negotiations should be out in the public and that he has a problem with the $2,000 a month retainer requested by Mr. Eisengrein. Commissioner Jones agreed that negotiations is a good way to go but did not agree to also continue to pay the present attorneys. Vice Mayoi Benino mentioned that negotiation may be the better way to deal with the County opposed to fighting them in Court. He suggested to consider a small amount to be allocated with a time frame attached to see what Mr. Eisengrein could do for the City. Commissioner Mikes mentioned that Mr. Eisengrein's experience will be very valuable to the City at this time and that his fee could probably be negotiated since he lives close by in Pompano Beach. Commissioner Mikes stated that executive sessions protect the City and residents from a legal disadvantage and suggested thar rhere may be illegal polling of Commissioners going on which is in violation of the Sunshine Law. Vice Mayor Bertino suggested to have the City Manager meet with Mr. Eisengrein and discuss his terms in order to have more information on whether it would be a good idea to hire him. A motion was made by Commissioner Jones, seconded by Vice Mayor Benino to defer the item untii the City Manager can consult with Mr. Eisengrein and bring back a different consulting agreement with the City. The motion passed on the following roll call vote Commissioner Jones - yes Vice Mayor Bertino - yes Commissioner Mikes - yes Mayor Hyde - yes 8,7 Vorkshopscheduling. Commissioner Mikes stressed the need to have more workshop meetings in order to conduct city business based on the fact that the City Manager is leaving to go to Davie, the City Clerk position has not been appointed yet and since the City Attorney is seriously ill. Commissioner Mikes stated his feelings that the Commission needs to take a bigger pan in getting the work done and recommended to schedule workshops every other Tuesday. Mayor Hyde stated that workshop meetings are scheduled every third Tuesday and have been for years. He felt that the agendas seem to be very full which causes some items not to be addressed and that agenda items for the workshop meeting should be set a week ahead with no funher additions. 8.8 Drainage in the southeast section of the City. Vice Mayor Benino mentioned the terrible flooding recently in the southeast section and how the Commission has been unable to solve the problem.

City Manager Flatley agreed that a study is needed and mentioned that $70,000 is being proposed in the upcoming budget for the project. Commissioner Jones commented on how information was received on a storm q/ater utility fee from Pinellas County and that this item should be placed on the next workshop meeting to see if it would be feasible.

Commissioner Mikes mentioned that the City has spent money on the Se$/er Vac Truck and check valve improvements that probably came to over $200,000. He mentioned that the drainage study conducted in 1990 needs to be reviewed and that there is a need to look at ways to get more reservoir capacity to corred the drainage problem. Commissioner Mikes mentioned recent property rights laws that benefit land owners by making them only responsible for storm drainage on their ov/n property and that another major problem for the City is wellfields that don't have enough water. 8.9 Discussion of process/procedures to hire or appoint replacement City Manager, permanent or interim. Commissioner Mikes mentioned the need to establish a procedure on addressing a replacement for the City Manager and his concern that the City Clerk has not been appointed yet and that the City Attorney is having serious illness problems.
