JULIAN HALIBURTON - DANIA BANK
Mr. Haliburton stated the purpose of his appearance is to represent the
Dania Bank for the Trustees City of Dania Sewer Revenue Fund.
® Mr. Haliburton stated that the City has been making their payments alright
but they have not been sending in their reports in time concerning the sewer
fund. He stated the reason he was here is beceuse of the wording of the
Bond Resolution which states that the City books should be audited annually,
and that a recognised firm of Certified Public Accountants had to do this
® auditing. Mr. Haliburton stated that up to date the Bank has not received
an audit from a C.P.A. The request of the Bank is that the City of Dania
get an audit for the year of 1968.
Mayor Houston stated that he had gone over to the Bank and he had asked Mr.
Miller if it would be necessary to have an entire audit at this time and
Mr. Miller stated yes. Mayor Houston also asked Mr. Miller if he would accept
the audit that was made by the State and work from there on and Mr. Miller
stated no, and that the Bank want a complete new audit by an outside Certified
Accountant. Commissioner Kelly asked what right did the Bank have to ask this
of the City. Mayor Houston stated that this was because the Bank are holding
over$800,000 worth of Bonds at this time and he believes that it states in
® the Resolutiun that anyone who holds over 10% was entitled to an audit.
Commissioner Kelly stated that he agreed the City should have an audit of the
Sewer Fund, but he did not believe that all funds should be audited.
City Attorney Clarke Walden said he did not feel Bond Holders have a right to
audit the General Tax Revenue. Mr. Haliburton stated that what the Bank
actually wanted was a total audit of the sewer fund itself. Commissioner Kelly
asked Mr. Haliburton if he was aware of the fact that the City was being
audited at thistime, and he also asked Mr. Haliburton if this item had been
discussed with the Auditors. Mr. Haliburton stated no. Mr. Kelly stated that
he felt that the Bank was a little out of line coming before the Commission and
asking for something like this and that he sees no reason why this could not
have been handled in a much more diplomatic way, rather than to state in front
of the Press and at a Public Hearing that we are in default. Mr. Haliburton
stated that we are not in default, but could be in default, if an audit is not
furnished . Commissioner Kelly asked Mr. Haliburton how is it that he did not
know that we were in the process of an audit at this time. Mr. Haliburton
stated that he had written a certified letter to Mayor Houston on the 26th day
of December regarding a certified audit and had not received any reply. Mayor
Houston stated that he had not answered the letter but he had talked to Mr.
Haliburton over the telephone, and that he had gone to the Bank and talked to
_.20 .69. ( 8 )
,?s
Mr. Miller. Vayor Houston stated that he felt the matter should have been
handled privately not publicly. Mr. Haliburton stated that this was public
business, as these funds were public funds .
Mr. J. Spina who is the City Auditor addressed the City Commission and Mr.
Haliburton. He stated that he would like to go over some of the things with
Mr. Haliburton as brought up, and discuss them openly. He asked Mr. Haliburton
if he had received a copy of the audit from last year and asked about what
date he had received it. Mr. Haliburton stated that it was around January 12th.
Mr. Spina asked Mr. Haliburton if he would agree that last year at this time
the City was undergoing a State Audit. Mr. Spina asked further if Mr.
Haliburton felt that the City was in default. Mr. Haliburton stated that the
City will be in default if an audit is not made. Mr. Spina stated the Bank had
no basis to say that the City will be in default if we do not get an audit,
when there is no time limit when the audit is due.
City Attorney Walden stated that he felt that the Bank would be more than
satisfied that if we made it clear that an audit would be forthcoming. Mr.
Spina asked Mr. Haliburton if he was aware that an audit was going on at the
present time. Mr. Haliburton stated he did not. Mr. Spina stated that he
had received correspondence from Mr. Haliburton in November of last year, con-
gratulating him on a job well done on the audit. Mr. Haliburton said that the
Bank wants the audit and Mr. Spina replied who says you are not going to get
an audit. Mr. Spina told Mr. Haliburton that for your information we have
directed a letter to the City Commission requesting a withdrawal from the
general fund audit, which is one of three and there are seven funds in this
City, the three main funds are Water, Sewer and General. Unfortunately some-
one did not understand what we are trying to do. Mr. Spina further stated
that to his knowledge there was nothing in the Charter which states that you
have to have an audit at a certain date on the entire system. There is one
which states that the sewer fund be certified. Mayor Houston asked Attorney
Clarke Walden for his views on the matter.
Attorney Walden states: "It is my opinion that the complete Sewer Accounts
have to be audited, which includes your cigarette taxes and utility taxes,
and that he felt that the Bank had the right to everything which was included
in the Sewer Bond. He felt that Mr. Haliburton and the Bank would be satisfied
if they would receive some Resolution stating that they would get some satis.
faction, resolution or motion on the part of the City that they will furnish
an audit. Commissioner Kelly stated that in a fact the audit of the sewer
Fund is for the City's benefit, because they will be auditing the funds which
the bank is handling. It is just as important to the City to have this audit
,t to see that the Bank is handling the funds properly. Mr. Haliburton stated
that the Bank is always happy to have their books audited at any time. Mr.
i' Spina stated that the City audit would be completed the third week of February,
and in the hands of the Commission at that time if so desired. Commissioner
Kelly said that a date should not be put on it but that it should be within a
reasonable length of time. Commissioner Kelly made a Motion that the City
send the Bank a Resolution telling them that the City will proceed with the
audit and present the Bank with such audit within a reasonable lenth of time.
Commissioner Waiters seconded this Motion. Mayor Houston asked Mr. Spina
if these would be certified audits on the water and sewer funds. Mr. Spina
replied the only way that they will not be certified audits is that if there
would be something so trastically wrong that they would not certify them.
He felt, however, that there would be no reason why they cannot be certified.
Commissioner Kelly asked Mr. Clay about the water deposits and if they balanced
out for last year. Mr. Clay replied that he was not here. Commissioner Kelly
said that Mr. Clay had written a letter to the Commission explaining what he
had planned to do with the accounts which did not balance out was to put them
into the Revenue Fund thus balancing out the Water Fund. Mr. Clay replied Mr.
Spina and himself so far have not had time to sit down and go over the accounts
to find out what was wrong. Mr. Spina said that he felt that if anything comes
up in the future, he would appreciate a letter to his attention requesting in-
formation and that he might be able to solve the problem rather than bring it
before the Commission. Roll call was taken.

STATE ROAD DEPARTMENT - Mr. Val Brennan.
City Attorney Clarke Walden stated that the resolution was approving a pro-
posal for the widening of the AlA which is Dania Beach Boulevard and, in a
fact the State Road Department requests the City to endorse the improvement.
Attorney Walden also added that this would include some right of way and he
did not think the City would get it by donation. Mr. Brennan addressed the
Commission and explained that he is Director of the Area Planning Board, and
that the State Road Departmenthss called upon the Area Planning Board as the
designated area Planning Agency requesting a letter from our Area Planning
Board that the plan for building theQiole project is consistant with the com-
prehensive planning at sudh time in Broward County. We are also asking your
assistance in obtaining Resolutions from the Broward County Area Planning
Board City Hall of Dania in compliance with the instructions to get your
concurrance that this road is desired by your Municipality. We have today
received concurrance from the City of Hollywood. We have as of the 16th
the concurrance from the Area Planning Board, that this is a needed facility.
We are appearing before your Commission here this evening to get your City's
concurrance. Following your concurrance, if we do succeed in getting one,
we will then ask the Commission to concur that this is a needed facility, that
this is a comprehensive plan in Broward County. There is sheduled a public
hearing to be held by the City Road Department in their office at State Road 84 .
A hearing also is to be held in the Dania City Hall on February 4th, 1969, at
7 p.m, for the purpose of whether or not this road shall be built. In-so-far
as the detail your City Attorney is mentioning this is a detail that involves
your City because it is located partially in the City and partially in the
County.

matter of the widening of the AIA. Commissioner Waiters made a Motion that we
approve this Resolution. Commissioner Kelly seconded this motion. Roll call.
