If there has been any misconduct on his part, he would like to know also. But his friends and family read the newspapers and want to know why he is going to be fired.

After he receives the answers from the Chief, he will then state how he feels about the Chief. • Mayor Marant asked Commissioner Waiters if the files in the Chiefts office have been open to him in the last 10 months. Commissioner Waiters stated that they have, but he has not had time i to go into them, but he will now take the time. City Manager Goldberg stated that in the time that the Chief has been with the City, he has found him to be an excellent, cooperative de- partment head. He has spent many hours above and beyond the normal call of duty in order to be of service to the City. He as found that his (Caracci) employees likewise have responded in as not only to himself but to the Commission also. "I would like to add my sup- port to the Chief wholeheartedly." Chief Caracci thanked Mr. Goldberg and the Commissioners for their vote of confidence, and promised that he would continue to do the good work that he was sent here to do.

JULIAN HALIBURTON, Trust Officer, Dania Bank: Re: Service charge for investing Sewer Construction monies as per agreement between the Dania Bank and City of Dania. Mr. Haliburton was present and pointed out that the original agreement only called for the City to pay the trustees "a reasonable fee". Mr. Hal:burton stated that he has dealt with many bond issues in the past, and reels that $1,500.00 is a reasonable fee for their services. -5- ■ A motion was made by Commissioner Waiters to pay the bill of $1,500, to be paid out of the Sewer Construction Fund. The motion was se- conded by Commissioner Adams, and the roll being called, the Commis- sioners voted as follows: Adams( Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes Mr. Haliburton stated that the Dania Development,.'Inc. , will be meet- ing again this coming Wednesday, and he invited all to attend. Commissioner Kelly stated that he felt this would be an appropriate time to thank Mr. Haliburton and the Dania Development, Inc. , for the ® work they did in helping the City get the annexation of the N.E. sec- tion. A motion was made by Commissioner Brice to pass a resolution to give Mr. Haliburton a letter of thanks for his support and work that he did in the annexation program. The motion was seconded by Commissioner g, Commissioner Kelly, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes ® Waiters Yes Marant Yes BILLS FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE, 1967, to be approved for payment.

The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kelly. ® Robert Houston questioned two of the bills paid to Tom's Asphalt Pav- ing. He stated that last month they were paid four-hundred-and-some dollars for patching of streets, now this month they are being paid one-thousand-and-some dollars. He stated that in one place they are paid $751.90 and another $285.50. Mr. Houston pointed out that, after paying out all this money, he still can drive up the streets and find • pot holes. Mayor Marant stated that a while ago they (the Commissioners) tried to repave certain streets, and the people would not agree to it. Mayor Marant also suggested that he and Commissioner Waiters take a complete tour of the city and find out the exact condition of the streets. The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes BILL: HARDRIVES COUPANY: $4,233.88 Paving of S.W. 8th Avenue.

Commissioner Brice agreed that these bills should be s separated before they are paid. Commissioner Waiters suggested that they go ahead and approve the pay-' ment of these bills with the stipulation that the City Clerk and the City Engineer get together to break them down. Commissioner Adams disagreed, saying that Mr. Farina ought to get the O bill broken down first, then he would agree to payment. A motion was made by Commissioner Adams to table this until we get a breakdown on the bills. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Brice. Commissioner Kelly agreed that these bills ought to have a little more explanation on them. Mayor Marant stated that there are probably a lot of people getting free services because they go to Mr. Farina:-to get elevation require- ments, etc. , and Mr. Farina does not know whether they were sent to him or not. tMr. Marant suggested that something be set up between the City Managers office with Mr. Farina in order to stop these people from going over there unless they are authorized to do so by the City Manager. Commissioner Brice stated that as Utilities Chairman, he has warned the City Manager and also Mr. Farina that any time a person comes to him (Farina) for consultation he first request a purchase order so that he will have a record of the project, and why. The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters No Marant Yes -7- ORDINANCE: Amending the existing ordinance regarding Utility Tax. (First Reading) City Attorney Walden read an ordinance entitled: O AN ORDINANCE amending Section 23-9, Code of Ordinances, City of Dania, Florida, concerning the tax imposed on various types of utilities, and repealing all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith, and providing that this ordinance shall be in effect immediately upon its passage O and adoption by unanimous! consent of all commissioners present on the introduction of this ordinance and the reed- ing of this ordinance on first reading, second reading, and third reading, at the meeting of the City of Dania, held on July 17, 1967. O The ordinance was read in its_.entirety the first time, and by title only the second and third times. City Attorney Walden then explained that in effect this ordinance will increase the utility tax on any type of utility to 10% per month on the first $50.00, and any excess over $50.00 will be taxed on 5%. O Commissioner Brice explained that the reason for the ordinance is that our city is faced with a situation of raising revenues and try- ing to keep the tax burden equalized to all of the people. He stated that in checking with other cities, he finds that Dania is the only town that had a utility tax of less than 10%. O A motion was made by Commissioner Brice that the ordinance be passed on first reading. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Adams. Mr. A. 0. Wickham of Florida Power 6 Light Company stated that the newspapers state that the City of Dania is trying to raise an addi- tional $27,000 in revenue. He stated that when he first read about the 10%-5% tax which they are now considering, he made some calcu- lations as to how the existing Hollywood tax and Hallandale tax and the Mirimar tax, which are all identical, how they would effect the revenues in Dania. He worked out some propartions and ratios and finds that instead of enacting this present tax, which is rather drastic because it has a final 5% block, that the City consider the Hollywood tax, the Hallandale tax and the Mirimar tax which are all identical and which run 10% on the first $25.00, 5% on the next $75.00, and 2% thereafter. These ratios and calculations which he made are not down to the decimal point, but he stated that in his opinion if the City did enact this same tax which these three mentioned cities now have, the City of Dania would receive more revenue than the $27,000 which they are presently seeking. F{ Commissioner Brice asked, from an accounting standpoint, would it make it easier for Florida Power E Light Company if we had the same tax as these other cities mentioned. Mr. Wickham: There is no doubt about it. Our computers are geared to the present tax which is now levied by these other cities, and which could be easily applied to the City of Dania accounts. But I donrt want to say that that is an impossible hurdle, because we would certainly try our best to adjust the machine to your needs. Commissioner Brice asked if Mr. Wickham is fairly certain that this tax he is proposing would bring in the $27,000 revenue that the City needs. Mr. Wickham stated that in his opinion, this would bring in more than the $27,000. He also stated that in his opinion the tax that the City is now proposing is a little on the drastic side, and he felt that the people would be receptive to the tax he proposes because the Commission coulr'. then tell the people that this is the same utility tax that is -8- s m presently being billed in Hollywood, Hallandale and Miramar. It was suggested that the Commissioners go ahead and pass this or- dinance on first reading tonight; and then study Mr. Wickham's pro- ® posal before the second reading, and if need be, to amend this or- dinance to include Mr. Wickham's proposal. p` Mr. Houston objected to the increase in Utility taxes and stated that the city is spending entirely too much over their heads. He stated that if the budget were controlled a little more closely, ` ® they wouldn't need to increase taxes. There followed a lengthy discussion between the Commissioners and Mr. Houston in which Mr. Houston stated that we should not adopt this raise in utility taxes because the other cities charge this rate. Commissioner Kelly stated that he felt that this extra tax would ® spread the tax load over a lot of people that are getting services from the City of Dania but are not paying their fair share. Mayor Marant stated that in order for the city to progress they must do something to gain more revenue. Mayor Marant stated that he knows they will make mistakes and they will be criticized for making mis- takes . • Mr. Houston replied that the one mistake that he hopes they won't make is to put taxes on "because there has never been one known to be taken off.once it is on." The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes Marant Yes APPLICATION FROM JOHN P. CARLUCCI for an occupational license for car and truck rental, 714 S. Federal Highway. Commissioner Brice stated that he believes there is an ordinance in the city against car rentals unless they are Yhoused". He asked if A the City couldn't control the number of rental equipment. City Attorney Walden stated that he did think the city could control the number, in fact they could put any restrictions on it that they wish. �y Commissioner Brice suggested that this be sent to the zoning board, for them to study this, and send their recommendation for restrictions back to the Commission. City Attorney Walden suggested that this be presented for a variance. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: City Attorney Walden stated that he was asked to bring a resolution which would serve to amend the resolution concerning service charges on the sanitary sewer system, with the amendment providing that the charge for each church shall be $5.00 per month and for each other religious house of worship which is served by the Sanitary Sewer System. He then read the resolution entitled: A RESOLUTION amending Resolution No. 1724 of the City of Dania, Florida, adopted May 16, 1966, to provide for a change or amendment to the schedule of rates to be charged and collected from the users of the municipal sanitary sewer :. system, City of Dania, Florida, and ratifying and confirm- ing said Resolution No. 1724 in all other respects, and re- pealing all Resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict q herewith. -9- A motion was made by Commissioner Adams to adopt the resolution. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kelly. == City Clerk Thornhill asked when this resolution, if adopted, will ® become effective. It was agreed that it would become effective on the next billing. �z The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: 4, ® Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes '£ Waiters Yes Marant Yes rgi City Attorney Walden advised that the Utility Committee met on Julyr llth with Mr. Farina to consider some adjustments to be made in the ` ?r' assessment roll because of clerical or arithmetical errors. Mr. Farina worked out a report, which Mr. Walden read to the Commissioners. tr; n j Commissioner Brice stated that in all of the hearings and all the dis- �? 2 ® cussions it was a W greed that the only changes that they could make are those that were strictly errors, and they could not add to the assess- ment roll. It would have to be under a separate agreement with the individual property owner. �0 motion theCity Attorney,b o l and hosei Bricener t h l items that areonthislistethatlhave by been recommended to be added be handled as a separate agreement with each property owner affected; (only the additions, not the ones that are clerical errors) . The motion was seconded by Commissioner Adams, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: ® Adams Yes P.. Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes 41 Marant Yes u A motion was made by Commissioner Brice that a resolution be adopted to honor items No. 1 and No. 2 (of City Engineer's report) that were clerical errors in preparing the assessment roll, as per recommenda- tion from Broome & Farina. The motion was seconddd by Commissioner Adams, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Adams Yes Brice Yes Kelly Yes Waiters Yes g Marant Yes City Attorney Walden reported that Mayor Marant gave him some form letters he received from Mr. Tyson, Legislative Assistant for the Broward County Legislative Delegation stating all of the Charter Changes which the delegation indicated they would approve. These laws don't actually become effective for 20 days if they go without the Governor's signature. He further advised that, with the numerous charter changes that have occurred in past years, plus about 12 or 13 that have been adopted this year, they are going to have a very bulky charter for anyone to work with. He stated that he is retyping the charter into a consolidated volume, at no charge to the City except the charge for mimeographing several copies. He stated that these copies can be made available to the public at a nominal charge. =' rity Attorney Walden stated that a couple of weeks ago the owner of the Fleet Transport property on Stirling Road west of the C-10 canal, -10- ..ii y ' N voluntarily agreed and asked that his particular piece of property be annexed to the city. He has not furnished the exact legal des- cription, but it is the corner of Bryan Road 6 Stirling Road. He advised that the procedure to annex an individual piece of property ti ® is through an ordinance expressing the cities intent to annex the area; and that ordinance after it is finallyadopted is ublis tam once a week for four weeks. If the annexation is not contested y� then the city would adopt a final ordinance of annexation. He added that he has been told that the owner of Pompanette, North of the tir° a Fleet Transport Company, is willing to come into the city, although ® he has not been in direct contact with the owner. RYE y U It was suggested that this be tabled until the next meeting, until such time as they can contact the owner of Pompanette. le City Attorney Walden advised that a Commissioner asked him to r ® present tonight an occupational license fee to be charged for operators ofBingo Games. He presented the ordinance which would propose a fee f�z of either $10.00 per Bingo game, or 10% of the receipts, whichever is greater. r Mayor Marant asked if this would include charging churches. e City Attorney Walden stated that he thought it would include churches, since, if they owned a store, the city would charge for a store license. n Commissioner Brice stated that the only way the city can retain con- trol of the bingo games would be to license the operations. O A motion was made by Commissioner Brice to instruct the City Attorney to draw up the ordinance making it a $10.00 per day fee, or 10% of the Proceeds, whichever is greater,for bingo games, and to pass the ordi- nance on first reading. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Waiters. There was objections from the audience regarding the licensing of non-profit organizations. Mayor Marant suggested the fee be lowered, since the city does not intend to make any profit from the games, they just want to control the games. • Commissioner Brice suggested that the motion be amended to lower the cost to $S .00. Mayor Marant requested that they withdraw the amendment and the motion until they have had a chance to study it. He suggested to turn this over to the finance committee for their study and recommendation. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: City Manager Goldberg presented a report from the City Engineer in regards to the condition of the Fire Station, and which Mr. Goldberg read . N City Attorney Walden suggested that this be turned over to the Fire Chief, the City Manager, and himself, to see what can be done. City Manager Goldberg present figures in cost for hooking up the city buildings to the sewer system. The total estimated cost would be around ® $1,700.00, which excludes the Senior Citizens building, and includes all other city-owned buildings. Commissioner Brice, as Chairman of the Utility Committee, suggested that the Commission authorize the City Manager to ldok into this and see how much of it could be covered under the contract that was let to Hosey Construction Company for lines. In the event that the City Manager and the Building Inspector feel that it is out of line, then he recommended that this work be advertised for bid. -11- NIMM City PTanager presented a letter from the League of Municipalities suggesting that each city send a letter to the Governor regarding House Bill #2080, which would raise cigarette taxes by 2�. It is felt that if each municipality would contact the Governor emphasiz- e: ® ing the need of House Bill #2080 it might have a deciding influence on his final decision. The League requested that they be sent a copy of any message that might be sent to the Governor. Commissioner Brice stated that the Governor has already expressed his intent to veto this tax; however, he suggested that it should be up to the Commission to decide whether they want to send this letter. Commissioner Waiters stated that he was in favor of sending the Governor a telegram; however, he was doubtful that it would make him change his mind. ® A motion was made by Commissioner Waiters to send Governor Kirk a telegram in support of House Bill #2080. 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 ® City Manager Goldberg presented a letter from Louis Marrone requesting sewer service to his subdivision known as First Addition to Royal Palm Vista, NE 5th Avenue and 3rd Street. He stated that he is willing to install his own sanitary sewers to serve this subdivision; and upon completion, dedicate them to the City of Dania. However, he felt that under these circumstances, he should not be required to pay the tie-in • charge of $6.10 per foot. He is also willing to allow the City of Dania install'-thel'sewers, and then pay the city a flat tie-in charge of $6.10 per foot. As a third alternative, and a compromise, he is willing to re-imburse the City for the entire cost of installing the sewers, and the tie-in charge of $6.10 may be deducted from the monies paid to the city for the sewer installation. If the cost for ® installing the sewer is less than $6.10 per foot for property §erved, he will pay the city the difference between these costs. City Attorney Walden advised that although Mr. Marrone may put the line in, in some way he ought to pay his apportionment on the cost of the lift station and the plant itself, this ought to be considered. • Mr. Marrone questioned why he should pay anymore than anyone else. He stated that he would be paying 100% more. City Attorney Walden stated that the City is not forcing him to hook into the sewers, he (Marrone) wants to do it. Therefore, he would have O to pay what the city asks . Mr. Marrone stated that he could then do without the sewers. City Attorney Walden stated that this would be up to the State Board of Health, whether they would allow him to install septic tanks. The City has no jurisdiction over that.
