A motion was made by Commissioner Waiters that the minutes be ft- approved as read. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kelly, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted ® as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes ® Waiters Yes Marant Yes A COMPLAINT was registered to the Commission concerning a double sewer assessment to Mr. Victor Chesto, whose property is located at SO North Federal Highway. ® Mr. Chesto was called from the audience and he wanted to know if anything could be done about his being charged twice for an assessment. Mayor Marant raised the question concerning the number of lots ® involved. Whether or not in the county records it was recorded as one or two lots. If it was recorded as two lots, the assessment would be correst; on the other hand if recorded as one lot a correction would be made. Er. Walker was asked to have the legal description brought to ® his attention to conduct an investigation. Commissioner Kelly asked if this case was similar to the problem that had arisen concerning the number of lots with the Bryant property. ® Mr. Chesto implied that there were other parties on the street who were charged for one assessment. Mayor Marant confirmed that there had been no discrimation involved. Mayor Marant asked Mr. Chesto if he could give specific information on these parties . Mr. Chesto gave the names of the Brice Motel and the Peartree Grocery. Commissioner Waiters suggested that the problem be turned over to the City Attorney and the City Engineer since the required information wasn't available. Then a proper investigation could be conducted. ® A question was raised from the audience by Mr. Thornton concerning equal assessment values to property owners. Mayor Marant replied that everyone was treated the same and there had been no discrimination involved. Commissioner Brice replied that every parcel of land that was adjacent to a sewer line, that could be connected was assessed. Commissioner Brice enforced his statement with an example to point out the similar problem involved with Mr. Chesto's property. Mayor Marant advised Mr. Chesto to bring whatever information he has such as, a legal description of the property; his bill and any other documents to the City Engineer to study the problem further in order for a proper investigation, to bring about specific action. APPLICATION An Application for Maria Diaz for a variance permit Lot 33 Blk 11 College Tract, 2nd Addition to allow operation of a Day Nursery. The application would be according to the plat thereof recorded in the Public Records of Broward County, Florida; said lands situate lying and being ih Broward County, Florida also known as 750 S.W. 3rd Place, Dania, Florida. Said variance permit, if granted, will allow the operation of a day nursery on the premises which presently have a R-1 zoning classification, which said zoning classification prohibits the operation of a day nursery. Mayor Marant gave a call for objections. Those objecting were: Mr. Robert Me Duffy 745 S.W. 3rd Street, Dania• Mr. Me Duffy had no quarrel with the nursery itself, but he was concerned with the adequate area provided for the children's care. Mr. Me Duffy used the Regulation of Child Care Center as operated by Broward County as his reference. It stated in Section 5 Item E that the out-door play area should be adequately fenced. Item D required that there should be 20 square feet useable area for in-door play and study; 50 square feet of useable out-door area per child. Mayor Marant stated that this was a County regulation and this would have no bearing in the City. But that Mr. Duffy could check with the County Health Dept. The Mayor explained that the ® operator of the nursery would have to secure a liscense and that the County has strict regulations required for the liscense. Mr. Me Duffy also objected to spot zoning (between 2nd and 4th street) for a residental section. Mayor Marant replied that the operator _ is asking for a variance and there is a distinction, although you • may object to the variance permit. Mr. Eddie Stone 741 S.W. 3rd Place Mr. Stone said he had attended the meeting on the wrong night. He said not all the people who came to object have been heard. He said not all the people in the neighborhood knew about the nursery, and he had believed the area was zoned for residental purposes. Mr. Charles DeMuzzio of the Planning and Zoning Board stated that no objections were made at the meeting and therefore we passed the recommendation on to the Commission. Commissioner Waiters enforced Mr. Stoners statement. Commissioner Waiters brought up the point about the switching of the meeting from Monday to Tuesday night. Many of the people who had objections had attended on the wrong night. He felt that the consesus of .the people believed that it might change from a day nursery to someting else. Commissioner Adams stated that Mrs. Diaz was led to believe that all the people were in accordance with her having this nursery. She was told that she would have to come before the City of Dania Planning and Zoning Board to get a variance. Mrs. Diaz stated that she asked all her neighbors in reference to opening a nursery and only three people objected. Mayor Marant proposed that the Building Inspector and the Fire Chief check the property and submit their findings. Mayor Marant told Mrs. Diaz that the Commission will put her request on the agenda for consideration at the next meeting on the 14th of November. A motion was made by Commissioner Kelly that this be tabled. Commissioner Waiters seconded the motion, and roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes ORDINANCE: Adoption of an ordinance to rezone S' Lots 1 & 2 and Lot 19 Blk 1 and Lots 2 & 19 Blk 2, Dania Golf View from R-1 to R-2 zoning. Notice is hereby given that the City Commission of the City of Dania, Florida, "shall conduct a public hearing at 8:30 P.M. Monday, November 6, 1967 for the purpose of considering the adoption of an ordinance which, if adopted, will serve to rezone the following described property, to wit: South Half (S' ) of Lots One and Two and Lot Nineteen, ® Block One and Lots Two and Nineteen, Block Two, Dania Golf View according to the plat therof recorded in Plat Book 36, page 50 of the Public Records of Broward County, Florida, said lands situate lying and being in Broward County, Florida, from R-1 Boning classification to R-2 classification under the existing �11 ordinances of the City of Dania, Florida. Mayor Marant gave a call for objectors. Those objecting were: Mr. Don Norland, an attorney in Fort Lauderdale representing Mr. & Mrs. Edward Corville who own land west of this track. i• This was another renewal to the objection. The Corvillets purchased their land land, which is substantially the western part of this lot, from Mr. Howard Frost and his late daughter. They tell me they were assured it would remain a residental block and they had a reliance upon this fact. The primary objection is those lands which remain in Block 1 Lots 4-10 -� to remain as single family units. They would like to maintain the residental atmosphere on the lands behind 2nd Avenue. t,ir. Robert Dubois stated that he had diagrams that would be useful to the case and he was willing to present them to the Commission. • A call was given for anyother objectors and since none were heard the Mayor asked for a motion to be made. A motion was made by Commissioner Brice and seconded by the Mayor and passed on the third reading. The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: A Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes Notice is hereby given that the Planning and Zoning Board of the City of Dania, Florida shall conduct a public hearing at 7:45 P.M. Wednesday, November 1, 1967 for the purpose of considering the following application. A a>' Application of Jack Robinson for a variance permit concerning gs. Lot 18 Block 1 Paradise Manor, according to the plat thereof .`' recorded in the Public Records of Broward County, Florida, said lands situate lying and being in Broward County, Florida; located at 106 S.W. 5th Court, Dania, Florida. Said variance permit, if granted will allow a variance to existing set back : requirements concerning the construction of an addition to ?- the present improvement on said property. Mr. Walden stated that this had not been advertised in the public hearing and he believed one of the Commissioners asked for this to be placed on the adgenda. He thought the Zoning Board tabled this at the last meeting because the party wasn't present. Mr. Charles De Muzzio replied that the Board had tabled the request because the applicant wasn't present. Commissioner Waiters remarked that Mr. Robinson had contacted him to bring the request up at this meeting since he hadntt attended the first meeting. Mr. De Muzzio explained to Commissioner Waiters that when the Zoning Board conducts a public hearing and makes a recomendation that suspects a granting of a variance, the charter does not have to further advertise for another public hearing. Mayor Marant asked Building Inspector Walker if he had seen the request. Mr. Walker replied he had and he then stated the conditions for the Commission. A call was given for any further objections by Mayor Marant and since none were heard the Mayor asked for a motion to be made. A motion was made by Commissioner Brice and was seconded by Commissioner Adams, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes The minutes of the Planning and Zoning Board held on November 1. 1967 Item two (2) Wildwood Botanical Gardens Inc. , requests variance at the entrance at the property on 100 North Federal Highway. Mr. Sestness represented Wildwood Botanical Gardens and made it plain that the sign will be located inside the property lying four feet to the right line of 84, four feet from the sidewalk. Mr. Walden indicated that Mr. Walker should find nothing wrong with the placement of the sign and therefore be able to issue a permit. Mayor Marant asked if there were any questions. None were heard so the mayor asked that a motion be made. The motion was made by Commissioner Adams and seconded by Commissioner Waiters, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes The third item is Going Inc. , requests a change of zoning to permit the construction of a gasoline station at the Southeast corner of Federal Highway and Taylor Road. r PON It is the suggestion of the Zoning Board that the applicant request a variance permit on a hearing set for November 12, 1967 at 7:45 P.M. by the Zoning Board. Mayor Marant called For a motion to set the hearing date. A motion was made by Commissioner Brice and was seconded by Commissioner waiters, and roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes Regarding Item Five (5) Building Inspector.Walker requests a setback order for the installation of large pools. Mr. Schaefer requests that since this is the last meeting of the present Board, Mr. Walker withdraw his request and deliver it to the next Board. Mr. Schaefer than announced that since there is an election coming up November 7th and this would be the last meeting of this Zoning and Planning Board, it would be to Mr. Walkers advantage to wait until the new Board meets. Mayor Marant extended a "thank you" to the members of the Board for their co-operation. APPLICATION The third and final reading for the application of William Murawski for the rezoning of the West 181t of Blocks 12 2, 3 and 4, and all of Blocks 5, 6, 7 and 8, of Harbor Lawns No. 1, said property being located North of Dania Jai Alai Fronton, East Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania, Florida, from R-lAA zoning classification to R-3 zoning classification. Mayor Marant gave a call for objections. Those objecting were: Mr. William C. Lewis an attorney from Coral Gables representing Mrs. Bartalla. Mrs. Bartalla owns a home at 412 N.E. 2nd Place. I represented her when she bought this home some ten to twelve years ago. At that time it was a beautiful section and she was very pleased with her purchase. I hadn't been in the area for a few years but when I knew the meeting was tonight, Mrs. Bartalla and I drove through the neighborhood. The entire neighborhood had improved since her purchase. I see no reason at all to change that section. There has been no degrading of this property that I have seen. I understand that the Zoning Commission turned this down. I think they are right. Any man could come in and build anything he wants to. If the gentlemen in question had brought in plans to help beautify the grounds, I could under- stand this, but no plans were presented. Mr. Jack Clarke 218 N.E. 2nd Place. I would like to redintegrate the objections I made at the last meeting. At the Public Meeting the Zoning Board voted 3-1 to defeat this proposal. There were some statements made at a later Commission meeting that it was passed or tabled. Someone also made a remark that there wasn't a forum at that meeting. I got a hold of the seconds of that meeting and it was actually defeated 3-1. At your first Public Hearing of the City Commission you passed it 3-2; the second time it came up you tabled it because of the fact that the O condominium zoning was coming up. I understand that the condominum zoning was brought out and turned over to Mr. Ryan and Mr. Ryan didn't approve of it. We didn't even see it our selves. I think that "hat zoning should be made public. There should be types ¢f it as residential. I maintain that R-3 is the lowest type of residential zoning. You cantt put a restriction on a man once you pass it. If there is going to be condominium zoning I would like O' to suggest that it be made along the same lines as residental noning. Why are you rushing this through? Why can't you wait until condominium comes up? Mayor Marant replied to Mr. Clarke that he thought we could save some time as far as Mr. Ryan and this application is concerned. The condominium ordinance might apply to him. [ir. Clarke replied from the audience, why the rush, why not give the Planning Board time to come up with the condominium zoning. You haven't even seen a plat. Mavor Marant stated that plat plans were not necessary as far as laws are concerned. Mr. Millard 335 N.E. 3rd Avenue. Mr. Hillard objected to the rezoning classification of R-lAA to R-3 zoning. Mr. Wallace Fisher 331 N.E. 3rd Avenue. I selected a lot from a plat which showed along with our subdivision the'other subdivisions, roads, streets, avenues,etc. It was my assumption that this was the plan ` of the City of Dania. I am sure that the other people who built and purchased homes had the same thing An mind. We have one section, ten acres I believe, and no more. Why would you spoil the one place you have for people. The best part of town. It is true that the present owner doesn't have to pay any taxes, he doesntt live there; he doesntt see anything. My house faces that lot and it isn't right for the people of the City of Dania. We went in and built according to the rules and restrictions, when you came along with your improvements. There €; was no question. Why would one man spoil the whole neigjjborhood? It isn't right. Mr. Arman Nesade 235 N.E. 3rd Avenue. My objections are the same as 5 Mr. Fisher's. I built there six or seven years ago with the idea that the section would stay the same. Now I am facing the same lot and the samething happened. If this man that owned the property that sold. the land years ago, the amount of money that was demanded at the time, that whole section now would have been built with the same kind of houses that exist now. The town of Dania could have collected a lot of money in taxes. Mr. George Bacco 226 N.E. 2nd Place. Mr. Bacco agreeded with the people who had taken the stand before him. Mrs. Kay Humphrey 222 N.E. 2nd Place. Her objections were also the same as the above objectors. Pir. Myron Goodrow 25 3rd Ave. He expressed the same objections. idayor Marant asked Mr. Ryan if he would like to take the Iloor. it Air. Ryan stated there were several objections made tonight on this third reading, and some of them are the type that would not be cured by the proposal of a forces of objectors. Let me explain exactly what I mean. Several people objected because they were not yet drawn in the City condominium ordinance or that would specifically eliminate parcel development to condominiums, apt, or co-optes. It is true that the City does not have the ordinance. I read the proposed ordinance or a draft or the proposed ordinance which would provide the condominium. In my communication with the Mayor, I indicated it may be a good ordinance for the City of Dania. But with respect to this request it would not apply because it did not permit multi-family type dewelling. The first ' time this proposal was presented to you there were a number of objections based primarly on the use of the area for multi-family types, not necessary condominium or co-opts. But they were objecting to its use other tan single family units. Then at the second hearing they raised this question about the lack of a condominium ordinance and lets delay ;. this until such time as a condominium ordinance is drawn for the City• Then let us reconsider it in the light of that new ordinance. At least four to one of the objectors were against any use other than single family. So the drawing of a condominium ordinaned is not going to cure that objection. For that objection is based on multi- family use. The area is not completely developed, so that the R-lAA zoning has not drawn a great deal of development' in the area. We requested R-3 because that is only type of multi-family zoning in n the City of Dania, other than R-2. So for apt, and condominiums you << must have R-3 zoning. I don't see any reason for delaying it until such time that h°. a condominium ordiance is drawn because you are not going to cure the objections which have been raised by the objectors tonight. I would be glad to work with Mr. Hillard and the members of the Zoning Board, and anyone else you might designate in the prepararion of a condominium classification for the City of Dania. ". I have been authorized to give you a letter that he has no {„ intenstions to use this area for any other use other than apts, condominiums, or co-opts. I would join in a petition for the rezoning of it, if such an ordinance is prepared. R-3 is a different only in the number of familys that can be permitted ' ® in a given block. There have been changing conditions such as � industries, Churches and other developments. Mr. Walden: Mr. Ryan, I believe that you indicated that Mr. Murawski was willing to give the City a letter to the effect that if a condominium zoning came up, or was passed in the future, that he would have no objections to the rezoning of this for condominiums. rlr. Ryan: No, multi-family. Mr. Walden: Let me make it clear thar this is not legally binding,Ig s A because the only issue before you tonight is whether or lnot the '. hightest and best use of the land is the R-3 classification. G Mayor Marant: I would like to ask a queation of the audience. ; . I don't want to put anyone on the spot, but would you by a show of hands, be in favor of the condominum ordiance.(This was ® directed to the people living in this area) Audience: A reply of "no" came from them. Mr. Lewis: The people who were considering the condominium ordiance were just trying to be nice and be helpful to Mr. Ryan. They i certainly didn't want this changed to R-3, but if he was going to show some beautiful condominiums, at least they would listen to it. But he hasn't shwon anything and he hasn't promised anything. Mr. Walden: We shouldn't consider what has happened in the past or do I think we should spectulate on what kind of ordinance ® we'll have in the future. The R-3 Zoning classification is based as a multi-family classification. Then the only issue before you tonight is a factual one, whether in your opoion based on the circumstances as they appear today, R-3 is the multi-family classification and the highest and best zoning use that can be made of the property. I don't think that we ought to consider if we ® adopt a seperate condominium ordinance classification because that would not be binding. I don't think you ought to consider things that happen in the past, which is what Mr. Murawski has done: You ought to think of it as what happens today. The question is what is the hightest and best use. ® [Mayor Marant asked after all the agruements that this be passed on the third and final reading. A motion was made. Commissioner Brice: I would like to comment on why I made the motimnp in the past few years I have been on the Commission I have set up here and we have gone out over the City and every time that there i has come up any type of growth for the City, that has been any different than what has been 25 years ago, we've heard objections. We have lost two condominiums in the City of Dania that would bring growth to our businesses and enable the City to bring more service that wouldn't bring about more tax dollars. 4L • I4ayor Marant: I have tourec, the area with Mr. Hillard and I think that the Commission has got to take the attitude that these people are there right now. I am just wondering if this is the wisest thing now for the Commissioners to do with out having seen any plans. I asked about the use of the land and I was told the only practical use would be for a condominium type of development. Commissioner Waiters: I am also concerned about what would be best for the land use. Could you get twice as much when the condominiums are built on the land. I would like to have time to explore these questions. Mr. Ryan: I've told the Commission that my client has not drawn any plans. He proposed to develope on the lines I mentioned to you. Ile doesn't have a time table because he didn't want to do anything until the land was rezoned. Commissioner Adams: I would like to see a condominium ordinance. I am against R-3 . Commissioner Waiters: I feel the same way as Commissioner Adams. I would like to see something that would be in the best interest or the people of Dania. I am interested in the fact that we have to start construction somewhere. We can't continue to say no to this and no to that, or else we won't have a city of Dania in two years. Mayor Marant: If someone was to present a concrete propsal that was acceptable to the Committee. This R-3 leads too many avenues open to hurt these people. This is the reason. A call was given from the audience. Some one asked the Mayor what was so harmful about R-3? The Mayor replied that this thing has presented a condominium order and would not be applicable to that land, a high grade of duplex. But I am not saying that the condominium order I have here would do the job. Commissioner Waiters: Could we table this until we came up with some kind of solution to satisfy the persons that live in the area, and satisfy your client. Mr. Lewis: These folks want this area to stay single family. The question is whether or not this area is going to be multi-family or single family. If you want to make it multi-family2t1l s is the ordinance to do it. Because if you come up with an R-4 or R-5 I amily condominium, I venture to say that you will have the same people here tonight objecting to it. The issue is the use of the land. This land was zoned a long time ago when you didn't have this here and that here. I don't know if rhis zoning matter stayed the same. Mr. Walker: Its been here since 1954. Mr. Lewis: Our objection is to R-3 Commissioner Waiters: I propose that if we go ahead and have the .� zoning board to get together with the attorney representing Mr. Murawski and Mr. Hillard to work out an acceptable condominium ordiance. Would the delegation favor that? Mr. Lewis: I don't think this is fair until we see the plan. I believe you should have an ordiance for condominiums,etc. You would O have to for the town to grow. Lets look at it, then we'll tell you if we approve. PIr. Walden: I suggest that we table the matter further, Mr. Murawski is entitled to answer "yes" or "no" to R-3 if you vote the ordinance doom, and it would be without prejudice to the rights of Mr. Murawski to remew his applications for a change of zoning in a condominium classification we might adopt. If we adopt the condominium ordinance, then he would have the right to make an application for :-zoning for that. Iiayor Ifarant called for a motion. A motion was made by Commissioner Brice and seconded by Marant. The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams No Brice Yes Kelly No Waiters No Marant No CITY ATTORNEY REPORT The only item I have to report concerns the election tomorrow. I talderstand that we've got to subsitute or change one or two of the election officials. If you'll give me their names and the precincts I 'll suggest the proper regulation to you. Mr. Howard Schaefer will take the place of Mr. Dean Pedula as a deputy in the North section. Mr. Gary Harris to be named as a pole watcher in the West precinct. The regulations show that each and every deputy for the general election tomorrow be vested with special police powers, so that he can be the police designated at each voting place. Mayor Marant made a call for the adoption of this regulation. A motion was made by Commissioner Adams and seconded by Commissioner Kelly. The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes Last week Mayor Marant asked me to write a simple and short resume of the material provisions of the State Election Code that would be applicable to the City of Dania. One of the statues provides that there be only one person to each voting place. rs. Heely, an official at the South precinct asked me if she should i,icontinue processing the qualifications of the voters as she has always done. I assured her she should. This statue was written before voting machines were in existance. It was meant to eliminate people from hanging around the officials. I recommend to the City Clerk that she tell the other officials if any question arises. ,dayor Marant: Mr. Walden had informed us that the City has taken legal possession of the Marine Life Building down on the beach. The building itself is in pretty bad shape. I would like City Commissioner Goldberg to have the Building Inspector and the Public Works Superintendent go down and secure the building. 'Ir. Walker: I have a letter from the City Engineer, Mr. Don Farina concerning the proposed sewer system for Mr. Marrone property. We have prepared a cost estimate for a saintary sewer to serve the Royal palm subdivision, a hearing request based on an understanding of this discussion in the City of Dania relative to the sharing profit of construction. The estimate is designated as follows: An eight inch manhole 335 N.E. Sth Avenue intersection gravity sewer to be extended from tc 3rd Street, including a new termianal manhole, an eight inch dug : er I: .E. to be installed by the City at an estimated cost of eighteen tn_uldred dollars ($1,800 .00) The remainder of the proposed surge is to be extended from the intersection of N.E. 5th Avenue to 3rd Street including a manhole service, etc. To be installed by Mr. Marrone at an estimated cost of Eight-Thousand and Three-Hundred dollars($82300) . ?ir. '.Iarrone will be charged a tie in fee ;of Six dollars and ten cents dolla0rs .ti�s Marroneeal agreestto paytmontlynsions chargesfin accordance `•1,500.96 with the City's standard rate. The above process were taken from the contract between the City and those contracting companies and a ten per cent (10%) contiguity was included. W (o- 6-1 :r I4r. Walden: I think that there should be a motion to the effect that I draw up a contract in accordance with this, because I have to bring the contract back to you. Commissioner Waiters asked Mr. Marrone if he would be able to start in two months. Mr. Marrone replied that he would be able to start right away. A motion was made by Commissioner Brice that the City Attorney make a contract up in accordance with this aggreement. Commissioner Kelly seconded the motion. Mayor Marant told Mr. Marrone that the contract should be ready in ® a few days. The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes O Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes The next item is a bill presented to the City by Linford & Waitt.the City auditors. For special services rendered to !the City of Dania O from August 7th to August 15, 1967 inclusing training, supervising and assisting Mrs. Elaine Walls and all phases from the city's bookkeeping, recieving, distrubition or revenues, to preparing all journel entries from July and August, stating in effect the water billing, tranactions involing the Dania Bank as contiguity fund. This has nothing what so ever to do with the Five-Thousand ($5)000) O dollars alloted for the City's fiscal year. They are requesting 160 hours at eight dollars and fifty cents ($8.50) an hour, which is One Thousand and Three Hundred and Sixty dollars ($1)360) . They are requesting payment for that. Commissioner Waiters: I think they have done more than what was O due. I request that we make payment. A motion was made by Commissioner Waiters and seconded by Commissioner Brice, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes 1® Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes Several meetings ago we had a discussion with this stucco building O next to the school. I was under the impression that this resolution was authorized to direct the City Manager to do something. To prepare a detailed resolution citing all the problems and give it to the Building Inspector. I can't find in the minutes were the resolution was authorized. I move that the City Manager should notify the woners of the property either to tear it dawn or seal it in ten days or else O run the risk of having the City to assess a lein against the property. We got a letter from the principal of the school last week making a further complaint. A motion was made by Commissioner Adams and seconded by Commissioner Kelly and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: O Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes O- Playor Marant asked Commissioner Brice to take the floor. Commissioner Brice: I would like to recall to the Commission that we had resignations form the Police Chief,the City Manager and also from the Public Works and other people within the City that have become effective from the first month or today. It is my understanding that after talking to these people, that it is agreeable for them to 0�: stay on from a day to day basis, until such time as the new Commission is seated. But it is definetly understood that they have already resigned and by their still so staying con not be construed in any manner that they are being discharged. They are doing this to the courtesy of the present Commission, to keep us from being in an emergency situation I'd like to have the pleasure of the Commission on this. Mayor Marant: Do you want a motion on this to the effect that we ask them to stay on a day to day basis until such time as they are asked to leave or what ever decisions there are? Commissioner Brice: I think it would be in all fairness to them, because we have asked them as a personal favor to this Commission to stay d1ming this period. But they are concerned about the fact that they stayed and they don't want to say they stayed and then got fired. They have all resigned already. A motion was made by Commissioner Brice and seconded by Commissioner Kelly. Commissioner Kelly stated that he appreciated those people who stayed on and that they had been a big help to us on the Commission. The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes Mayor Marant asked the Commissioners if they had any other comments to be made. Mayor Marant then told Commissioner Brice that it had been a real pleasure working with him during the past year. I'll let it be known that I think personally you've done a hell of a Job. Mayor Marant then replied to Mr. Houston that he hoped he could do just as well a job. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
