Kelly Yes City Attorney Clarke Walden presented an Easement/Agreement regarding the R.E . Director property, whereby Robert E. Director 6 Company grants • along the north property line a ten foot Utilities Easement for tele- phone, electricity and water in conjunction with the Right-of-way Ease- ment from the Telephone G Telegraph Company. For a period of twenty five years the Director Company agrees not to erect any permanent improvement on the north fifty feet of its property which includes the ten feet set aside for the Utilities Easement in which will be a continuation of the O present access road to the property in question from Taylor Road. The Director Company will give to the City for police and fire protection an easement and means of access along and across its entire property. Mr. Goldberg stated that he had talked with a representative of Florida, Power and Light Company who said their engineers had been working on the O right-of-way in regards to the City's request as to whether or not they could dedicate twenty five feet on the south part of their easement. A plan of the area showed that twenty five feet at the present time, would be clear of their lines. Due to the possibility of adding another bay of lines in the future the engineer couldn't give a definite answer at this time. A drawing was submitted showing the twenty five foot re- quested area, which would leave the edge of the right-of-way twenty one feet away from the existing poles. Mr. Goldberg was advised that since this is a main transmission line, which would require future use, they would like to consider the matter further before giving a definite answer. Mr. Walden stated that he will ask Mr. O Kerr, attorney for the Director Company to get their plans together and some idea of what they want to do and to assure them that the Commission will do everything they can to work with them. Mr. Thornton made a Motion to table the matter until further word from the Director Company and Mr. 1.1arant seconded the Motion.

Kelly Yes Mr. Goldberg presented a list of salary increases for employees retro- active to January 1, 1968. He said that after raises there is still a u?' $2.1,000 cushion in the budget. This list had been analysed by the Com- mission in an effort to make a tie-in with the new Civil Service Program. F Commissioner Thornton felt that some employees with longevity had been slighted to a certain extent. Commissioner Waiters agreed there were certain inequities but stated that qualifications did enter into the picture. Mr. Goldberg recommended that the motion made indicate that the increase apply to all employees having six months service by Jan- uary 1st. Mayor Kelly stated there were new employees who would not come under a portion of this ruling but felt the raises should be fair to everyone. Commissioner Waiters made a motion that the pay scale ' be adopted as proposed by the City Manager with the stipulation that any person having six months service as of January lst would receive ' retro-active pay, and new employees would be entitled to a pay increase after they had been employed six months, and this should affect only persons presently employed by the City. Motion was seconded by Commis- sioner Marant. The voting went as follows: Commissioners Marant Yes Thornton No Waiters Yes ,x Mayor-Comm. Kelly Yes .F ,E 2 - `s _ F r s The Commission discussed an engineering firm of Jacksonville, Florida Smith & Gillespie, who will work with a Federal agency to obtain a Planning Loan for a Storm Sewer program. If an agreement should be aq, entered into the companyts fee would be deducted from the loan. A st: Motion was made by Commissioner Waiters to enter into an agreement subject to final approval by the Commission seconded by Commissioner Marant. After a more detailed conversation Commissioner Waiters revised the Motion that the City of Dania enter into a contract with Smith & Gillespie and that a Resolution be drawn and approved by the City for an agreement or a refusal of said contract. Commissioner Marant seconded the Motion. r Mayor Kelly stated that the time is getting close for Hollywood to build their outfall line and they have engineered this to handle the biggest part of South Broward County, according to Commissioner Mon-Cella of Hollywood. He also feels it would be feasible to consider sewering the west side and tying into Hollywood's outfall line. This Fv could be done very economically, although it is possible that a feasibil- ity study be done on the amount of connections needed. Mayor Kelly 4r, suggested meeting with the engineer to determine cost etc., so that if it is decided to go ahead with this plan Hollywood wontt be too [. far along with their plans and the two can be coordinated. Mr. Gold- berg stated that he had received a letter from the City Engineer of +fi Hollywood requesting that the City of Dania send them a letter in- forming them of their desire to connect to their line so that they can send it along with their application for Federal assistance to shay that other communities are interested. Commissioner Thornton stated that he had received a letter from the County regarding property west of Dania. The County wishes to have permission from the City of Dania to vacate a portion of Tigertail Road. If this is acceptable to the City, a Mr. Klatt who is the owner of a portion of land in that area will donate, to the County, a strip of his land from Griffen Road up through his property, as the County needs this right-of-way in order to pave Bryan Road. Com- missioner Thornton stated that the City Manager should write to the County stating that we have no objection to this. It was stated that an Industrial Park is being planned in that area. Com.aissioner Thornton made a Resolution to notify the County that we have no objections to the vacation of this portion of Tigertail Road with the provision clearly understood that Mr. Klatt will donate his s portion of Bryan Road in order for the County to pave same.
