• City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Resolution.
Mayor Flury advised that the fee had been increased from $81.00 to $87.00 per year and
opened the Public Hearing.
John Bruckner expressed his opinion that the meeting should have been cancelled tonight and
Mayor Flury allowed him to present his opposition to the Zoning Appeal under Item 9.6. In
addition, Mr. Bruckner stated his dissatisfaction with the wording used for the Resolution on the
agenda for the item.
Chris Barile, 5099 SW 28`h Avenue, opposed the increase in taxes and presented a sample of
Fire Rescue Special Assessments from several surrounding cities that appear to be much lower
than Dania Beach's assessments. Mr. Barile requested that a clearer understanding be
presented to the citizens on how the monies were going to be spent.
Dave Keller, Finance Director, explained that the Fire Rescue Non-Ad Valorem Assessment
covers the operation costs of the Fire Rescue services provided by the City, which is separate
from the EMS provided by the City. The $6.00 difference in the $81.00 and the $87.00 will fund
the construction of the new fire station in the western portion of the City. Discussion followed on
the City's current actions to negotiate with the City of Hollywood to use the newly constructed
Fire Station on Stirling Road to provide services in the western part of the City and whether the
$6.00 increase was needed at this time if the construction does not take place during the
2001/02 fiscal year.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Flury closed the public hearing.

MINUTES REGULAR MEETING
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 4 SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
Commissioner Bertino mentioned that the City cannot operate the Fire Department without the
use of the special assessment fees for fire services and that every municipality is different in
they way they allocate the necessary funds to provide public safety services.
Commissioner Mikes mentioned that fire service costs on a per capita basis are running
$300.00 per resident, not per household, and that the fire service costs in Dania Beach are 50%
higher than other cities. Commissioner Mikes mentioned that staffing increases were not
approved for the Fire Department this year as a way to reduce costs and control spending in the
department. He stressed the need to increase the fee this year in order to build a fund for the
future fire station so that a decrease may be provided next year.
Mayor Flury mentioned that the City would probably not build the fire station out west this year
and questioned whether the $6.00 increase was necessary at this time.
Commissioner Bertino stressed the importance of the City building and owning its own fire
station out west and that the fee increase is needed to cover costs for the architectural,
engineering and construction planning that would be needed for the project.
A motion was made by Commissioner Bertino, seconded by Commissioner McElyea, to adopt
the Resolution approving the Fire Rescue Service Assessments.

THE RATE OF ASSESSMENT; APPROVING THE ASSESSMENT ROLL; AND PROVIDING
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mayor Flury opened the public hearing.
Steve Morris, Shady Ridge Subdivision, requested clarification on the county garbage collection
fees on the proposed tax bill. Dave Keller, Finance Director, advised that the County Garbage
Collection amount on the proposed tax bills would be removed when the final tax bills are sent
out from Broward County. Broward County is contracted to provide garbage services to the
residents from the newly annexed areas through December 31, 2001. Since three months of the
new fiscal year is already paid, the final tax bills will show the amount of $175.04 covering 9
months for Garbage Collection Service fee instead of a full year of $233.39.
Dorothy Carlson-Parine, SW 28th Terrace, clarified that the $233.39 is a Non-Ad Valorem tax
that is separate from the real estate taxes assessed on her property. Mayor Flury clarified that
the City met with Broward County in an effort to utilize Fire Station #32 to serve the western
portion of the City, however, Broward County decided to use the property to expand the

9.6 ZA-043-01- Request for Zoning Appeal by Louise Risi from the decision made by the
Growth Management Director on July 24, 2001, where it was determined that a proposal to
convert the existing garage to an indoor living space (including a full bath and kitchen facilities)
constitutes a third housekeeping unit and, therefore, is not permitted under the existing RD-
6000 Duplex Zoning regulations. Property located at 195 SE 2nd Street.

APPEAL REQUEST SUBMITTED BY LOUISE RISI, PROPERTY OWNER, FOR THE
LOCATION AT 195 SE 2ND STREET, DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS;
FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, mentioned that the duplex zoning had been in
place on the property for at least 15 years and that the applicant was advised that the garage
conversion to a third dwelling unit was prohibited. Staff recommended denial based on the
inability to keep a subsequent property owner from converting the game room to a separate
rental unit and due to a deed restriction being difficult to enforce.
Mrs. Louise Risi mentioned that she thought that 10 units were permitted when she purchased
the property and that she wanted to convert the garage to a "game room" that would include a
full bath and a wet bar for use by her family.

John Bruckner expressed opposition under Item 9.1.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Flury closed the public hearing.

Charlene Johnson, Acting City Clerk, explained that Dr. George Hanbury, ICMA Range Rider,
was unable to stay for the item tonight and that all seven applicants were willing to be
interviewed and that he would be able to meet on October 4'h
The City Commission agreed to schedule workshop meetings on October 3 and October 4
starting at 4:30 p.m.
Acting City Clerk Johnson requested a consensus from the City Commission on whether or not
Ivan Pato would be included in the interview process.
A motion was made by Commissioner McElyea, seconded by Commissioner Bertino, allowing
anyone who is working for the City to be included in the interview process for the city manager
position.
Commissioner Mikes mentioned that he is not for or against Ivan Pato. However, the City hired
a professional, Dr. George Hanbury, to assist with the city manager process, which is the most
important decision that the City Commission would be making this year. Commissioner Mikes
stressed his dissatisfaction with Mayor Flury for presenting Ivan Pato's name into the applicant
list after the deadline date based on it not being fair to the other candidates and that the process
was now contaminated.
Vice-Mayor Chunn agreed with Commissioner Mikes and stated his opinion that adding the
name after the deadline date was wrong, illegal, immoral and ungodly.
Mayor Flury advised that she would be delighted to accept an application from anyone in the
community with reasonable qualifications until such time as a city manager is officially appointed
as no one knows how the interviews will go with the selected seven applicants and there may
be an interest to have other applicants to choose from in the future.
