He wanted to know who was going to pick up his garbage other ' than the three cans specified. He said, at one time, he had paid $50.00 U a month of pick-up. He said he would be willing to pay the city for extra garbage pick-up and that a rate should be set by the city for so many cans. Commissioner Marant asked Mr. Redman how many garbage cans he had and Mr, Redman replied, three at the most per day, plus a lot of boxes, six days a week. Commissioner Marant said this represented a minimum of eighteen cans a week. He said, that in his own business, he was required to pay between $65:00 and $75.00 a month of a 2' yard container, but even at that rate he thought he was' getting a good deal for a seven-day pick-up, rain or shine; that he knows certain sanitary conditions have to be maintained,and that garbage pick-up has to be in- cluded as part of a business' overhead and that it was the businessman who suffered the costs. Mayor Kelly said he did not think the city could legally set prices, but he certainly felt, that if the city is going to set a policy, it will not go into the commercial business and that licensed haulers coming or in the city should certainly be willing to cooperate with the city, and that the city was not set up to go into the costs of a commercial operation. Commissioner Marant pointed out to Mr. Redman that his pick-up by the city would be three cans, three times a week, or nine cans a week that would be picked up by the city. Mr. Stanley Goluski, Hi-Li Motel Apartments, Dania, appeared before the Commission and was recognized by the Chair. He wanted to know how many cans of garbage would be picked up at his motel and was advised that the garbage would be picked up per three cans, per unit, twice a week in one area. Mr, Mervin Span, Dania, Florida, appeared before the Commission and was recognized by the Chair. He asked what would be the situation with respect to Tropic Apartments where there are ninety-six units. He was advised by Commissioner Waiters that the cans would have to be picked up in one area. Mr. Nuby, Manager, Tropical Park Apartments, 21 N.W. loth Court, Dania, came before the Board and was recognized by the Chair. He asked if his apartments were considered as "commercial," as there were twelve buildings with twelve cans behind each building. Mayor Kelly advised that the cans should be in a general spot behind each building. Then there followed discussion, that perhaps with motels and apartments there should be a cut down on the number of cans per unit, per week, as perhaps the new Ordinance • was too liberal. After much further discussion among the Commissioners and audience, and upon recommendation of the City Attorney that the City resolve any conflict with regard to garbage pick-up at multi-family dwellings before the Third and Final Reading of the Ordinance, Commissioner Waiters moved that the Garbage Ordinance be passed on First Reading and that the Second, Third and Final Readings be passed at the next few meetings. Commissioner Marant seconded the motion. The Commissioners voted as follows: Houston No Marant Yes ® Thornton Pass Waiters Yes Kelly Yes Motion passed. - 5/17/68 -2- MINUTES OF COMMISSION MEETING CITY OF DANIA HELD ON JUNE 17, 1968.

After discussion, Commissioner Marant moved that the Ordinance on Water Meter charges be adopted and passed on Second, Third and Final Readings subject to amending the water meter sizes and charges as follows: 5/8" water meter - $75.00 1" water meter - $150.00 1/' It water meter - $185.00 2" water meter - $295.00 The motion was seconded by Commissioner Thornton and the Commissioners voted as follows: Houston Yes Marant Yes Thornton Yes Waiters Yes Kelly Yes Motion passed. Permits - Certificate of Occupanc City Attorney a en s mi toythe recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board, as of their meeting of June 11, 1968, in connection with a building constructed for garage use by Mr. Eugne Harris, 157 Phippen Road, Dania, Florida. Mr. Walden said the Planning and Zoning Board approved authorizing Building Inspector Walker to grant a certificate of occupancy to Mr. Eugene Harris with the stipulation, that since the building had been constructed 26' from the center of Phippen Road instead of 36' as required by an ordinance, that at such time as Phippen Road should be widened, the necessary section of the building should be razed at the owner's expense to comply with the ordinance. . The City Attorney advised the City Commission at this time, that if they wished to approve the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation, it would have to be approved subject to an Ordinance, and an Agreement being signed with Mr. Harris. Building Inspector Walker came before the Commission and said he had determined that the erection of the building was in violation of City Ordinance No. 327 by being 26' from the center line of Phippen Road instead of 36' as the ordinance read, and he could not, therefore, issue a certificate of occupancy. He said the ordi- nance, with respect to setbacks, had been adopted some twelve (12) years Drevious to the submission of Mr. Harris' building plans submitted in 1966. It appears that the Planning and Zoning Board and City of Dania had made an error in approving the plans with a 26' setback instead of 36' in 1966. Building Inspector Walker recommended that the city issue a restricted Certificate of Occupancy to Mr. Eugene Walker and that he not be penalized. 6/17/68 -3- r MIDIUTES OF COMMISSION MEETING CITY OF DANIA t JU 17, 9 Page -4- Permits - Certificate of Occupancy (Cont'd. ) u Commissioner oston ma e a motion to issue Mr. Eugene Harris a Certifi- cate of Occupancy at 157 Phippen Road, Dania, Florida.

Commissioner Houston asked the City Attorney' s opinion as to a reverter clause wherein, if the property were p� rezoned and there was no construction commenced within six months to a year, could the property revert back to its former classification. The City Attorney said he thought, that if the city rezoned a property to a new classification and put in the condition, that if construction were not started in a year, at the expiration of a year the city could revert the property back to its old classification.

Permits - Royale Palm Yacht Basin r. uis arrone, 701 14 . 17 3rd Street, Dania, came before the Com- mission at this time and was recognized by the Mayor. Mr. Marrone discussed his plans to dig a 280' waterway to connect with the Dania Cut-Off Canal and stated Building Inspector Walker had the plans in connection with this waterway and that the other set of plans were with the Corps of Army Engineers and was awaiting their approval as well as other legal approvals required. Slum Clearance r. Mervin Span, Dania, came before the Board and was recognized by the Mayor. Mr. Span said that some time back the City Attorney was instructed to start working on slum clearance on abandoned shacks and he wanted to know what progress had been made in this connection. City Attorney Walden said he had received a long list of perhaps eighty properties from either the Building Inspector or Commissioner Waiters. He said these houses were described by street address and these lists were turned over to the Lauderdale Abstract and Title Company because the city is required to give a notice to record owner. He said all the records at the Court House and with abstract companies are indexed by lot and block rather than street addresses. He said he gave the list back to Mr. Waiters recently; that Commissioner Waiters had obtained actual copies of subdivision plats and was going to go down the street and mark off in particular lots where these homes exist and that before he and the city could do anything further, he had to have legal descriptions rather than street addresses. Mr. Span said he thought the young men of the area, on an incentive plan, would be willing to cooperate in getting the junk shacks torn down. Mayor Kelly said he believed the city would cooperate in this civic project 100% and that the boys would have a picnic for their help in cooperating with this civic project. Commissioner Houston said he wanted it understood that the city was not responsible for tearing down the shacks, but that the property owner was responsible. City Manager's Report ity anagerGoldberg said that sometime ago there were two contracts that were advertised for sewer extensions and water extension contracts. He said those have expired and would like authorization to re-advertise the sewer extension and water extension contracts similar to the ones the city had previously. He said he was looking forward in the area of the projected rezoning and building areas where it would require the extension of some of the city' s sewer lines and that by the time the contracts are advertised and awarded it would take some time and that the purpose would be to have a bid price which would be good for a period of time, perhaps six months, after it was awarded, which he said meant that any time between now or from six months to a year from now, if there were any extension work to be done it could be done properly without having to wait for the authoriza- tion, the advertising, the bids being received and then awarded. After discussion, there was no further action taken. 6/17/68 -6- T � t Aim f.

Maps City Attorney Walden said he had been authorized about a month ago to contact surveyors and had the Boggs office in mind to work up a description of the city and, in effect, draw a map. He said he had occasion to talk to Mr. Berry, whom the Commission did not particularly mention to him, and he asked him about the maps his father had prepared twenty years ago. He then said Mr. Berry was going to submit a price quotation to the city as ® to what his firm would charge to prepare a "sub-division map" and that it will be the same basic map but that it would pick up new sub-divisions that have been platted in the last fifteen years and it will show the lots and blocks in the city. He said that the city was under no obligation to deal with Mr. Berry, but that some prices would be coming into the city. Commissioner Houston said, that if the City Attorney would supply the dif- ferent amendments to the city Charter, that he knew someone who would run the city limits out for the city and would place the annexations to the west and north and that it would not cost the city a quarter.
