Mayor Kelly had some answers to Mr. Grammers questions of the last meet-
ing. He explained that the trailer park involved had been back charged
and this bill has been paid. However, the Building Inspector is going to
check all trailer parks in the City against their license to see if they
are being charged correctly. As to the number of people who have not hook-
ed-up the City Manager gave a figure of approximately three hundred people
who have not yet hooked-up. Mr. Walden has made a recommendation that he
- 1 -
write a letter to be sent out to these people giving them until the
15th of March to obtain a permit and about thirty days to hook-up
after that time. Those who do not comply will be forced to by sev-
eral suggested methods . If there are cases of hardship, these persons
should come to see the City Manager. Mr. Grammer questioned the number
of persons not hooked-up.
Mayor Kelly mentioned that we were getting very good response from the
cards that had been mailed out checking on sewer charges. Mr. DiMauro
questioned the catagories listed on these cards . Mr. Nitzsche claimed
he did not receive a card but was assured that he would receive one.
He also claimed to have checked on a trailer park. Mayor Kelly asked
if there was anyone who did not receive a card on eighth street to let
the City Clerk know and one would be sent.
Salaries - Mr. Goldberg had prepared a list of names with proposed wage
increases . There was quite a discussion on proposed pay raises for a
patrolman in the police department. Commissioner Thornton asked the
City Manager if the list he had submitted was what the Department heads
had suggested. Mr. Goldberg said they were. Commissioner Thornton
said his committee had made recommendations and would like to check
these raises with the department heads. Commissioner Thornton claims
that he did not get Mr. Goldberg's list until this afternoon and had
not had time to check it over. Mayor Kelly agreed that the Commission
should sit sown and go over this list. In answer to a question by Mr.
Wells, Civil Service Board representative, Mayor Kelly said that there
are six steps on the pay scale for each salary category. The Commission
agreed to meet with all the department heads on the following Tuesday
night in the conference room.
Commissioner Waiters brought up the subject of Federal grants. It would
not cost the City any money at the present time. The City would first
have to qualify, and it would take some research. He mentioned that many
other cities in Broward County are now getting Federal aid. He pointed
out that Dania could probably get Federal aid for development of an in-
dustrial tract. He mentioned that there were seven steps of qualifica-
tion.
There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned.
