4 . (This item moved to beginning of meeting. )
5 . City Manager Marant presented quotations of interest rates
from the Dania Bank, The Bank of Hallandale and Trust and
the Atlantic National Bank , for a $250 ,000 loan for a 5
year term , to eliminate the infiltration into the Sanitary
Sewer System.
City Manager Marant recommended that the city borrow the
money from the Dania Bank because of the lower interest
rate of 5?% and that the other terms are better because the
city is already doing business there .
Motion was made by Commissioner Bertino to accept the Dania
Bank proposal and the Hallandale Bank proposal both for
$250 ,000 each to work on our sewers . Motion died for lack
of a second .
A motion was made by Commissioner Cook , seconded by Commissioner
Donly to accept the Dania Bank' s proposal at the rate of
51z% interest.
The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Bertino made a motion to , if at all possible,
also accept the proposal with the Bank of Hallandale at
5 3/4% . Motion died for lack of a second.
Commissioner Hirsch asked City Manager Marant to tell the
commission what these monies will do for the people in this
city . City Manager outlined the need for action independent
of any grants . Therefore the city proposes to spend
$250 ,000 or parts of that money to work in areas that were
not scheduled to be done with grant money. If we were to
get into areas scheduled to be covered by grants , we would
be risking the possibility of losing the grant allocation
for the repair and maintenance of the areas that have already
been laid out to be fixed .
We would expect to have the work completed 1 year from the
time it was started .
We would expect, within a year to be able to reduce the
sanitary sewer cost to the citizens of Dania , and at the
same time, with the savings from 1 ,000 ,000 gallons in infil-
tration , repay the loan and set up a sinking fund for
continued inspections and repairs .
Mr. Farina mentioned considering that the contractor that
is awarded the bid be required to provide a quarantee for
4 years to repair any recurring leaks at no additional cost.
6 . Motion was made by Commissioner Donly and seconded by
Commissioner Hirsch to approve the bills paid for April , 1979 .
Motion passed unanimously .
7 . City Manager Marant made a request to replace and install
water lines along and across Federal Highway during the
widening of U S 1 by D.O. T.
Motion was made by Commissioner Donly and seconded by
Commissioner Hirsch to grant the request.
Motion passed unanimously.
