0 set aside for parking, the stipulation as to what is to be done in

® The motion was seconded by Mr. Sessa and passed unanimously.
Building Inspector Wells explained the problems of this request.
Mr. Fridovich-Martin presented his plans to the Commission. City
Attorney Walden suggested they take one problem at a time. He asked
if the zoning was proper.
Mr. Martin stated that when he purchased this piece he was informed
that it was properly zoned for industry; when he took out the permit
for the last building he was told it was properly zoned; but now they
say that there is a slice 20 X 90 feet that is zoned R-3.
ap City Attorney Walden stated that if that is true, it will have to be
rezoned.
Mr. Martin stated that he has a copy of a city ordinance that states
that if a hardship case can be proved, the improper zoning can be
waived. He stated that this is a definite hardship, because he could
® lose his land if he does not put these buildings up.
City Attorney Walden asked if Mr. Martin has something to show entr-
ance ways, easements in the back, for example. He stated that the
plan does not show this.
m Mr. Martin stated that he would give an easement of 24 feet in the
back, and the easement for 12th Avenue.
Building Inspector Wells stated that the Engineer recommended that
there be a complete plot made of this so that they could actually
locate these buildings, roads, easements, and so forth.
City Attorney Walden stated that in his opinion, the City does not
have enough information; and he suggested that Mr. Martin's engineer,
the City engineer, and the Building Inspector get together to come up
with a written proposal.
® Mr. Martin stated that he would get the original survey and have
Davis & Craven to show exactly where each piece will be plotted; plus
Mr. Martin would furnish the City with an easement in the back for an
alleyway, and the easement for the road on N. W. 12th Avenue.
Commissioner Brice asked Building Inspector Wells, if he had the com-
plete survey for the whole 900 feet, showing the degrees, then he could
issue a permit on the setbacks from that.
Building Inspector Wells stated that he could, if the Commission would
waive the ordinance on plotting. He stated that the property has never
been legally plotted.
C3
City Attorney Walden asked if the Commission would go ahead and accom-
modate I-L. Nartin, if Mr. Martin would agree in some binding fashion
to get a plat on record that is consistant with these buildings .in the
sketch.
3Y !;r . 41artin asked, if he recorded the plat and designated, for instance,
lot 3 , and later decided that they wanted to use a part of lot 3, would
chi be allowed to do that.
-6-
A
�rx
City Attorney Walden suggested that they put that in the agreement.
Mr. Martin stated that he would be glad to record the plat.
Mr. Walden suggested that Mr. Martin, Mr. Craven, Mr. Wells, and
40 himself get together to draw up an agreement to have Mr. Martin
spell out where he is willing to give easements, right of ways, and
anything that he is willing to give, and to agree to get a plat on
record. He further suggested that When the agreement is drawn up
they have a special Commission meeting to act on it.

City Attorney Walden explained that his agreement covers everything
and he does not get any extra compensation for anything. However,
he asked if the City would consider paying these two statements in
this instance solely on the condition that Lloyd's of London then
reimburse the City, and he would hold the money in escrow. And if
for any reason Lloyd's did not reimburse, he would re-negotiate.
A motion was made by Commissioner Brice that these two statements be
paid in accordance with Mr. Walden's agreement. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Adams, and the roll being called, the Com-
missioners voted as follows:
Adams Yes
Brice Yes
Kelly Yes
Waiters Yes
® Marant Yes
City Attorney Walden stated that some three or four^years ago, in
setting up the various advisory boards, the Commission set one up
called the Community Relations Board, for the members to consider
any type of Community relations problem and meet with the Commission
• and advise them. The board was active for a year or so, and then the
later commissions did not appoint any members. He was asked to pre-
pare another resolution creating another board. He stated that they
simply have to name members of this board.
Commissioner Brice stated that he saw no need for this board because
• at the time that this board was created the people on the West side
of town had no representation 'on the Commission as they do now.
Commissioner Waiters disagreed and stated that he felt there was a
need for this board. Mayor Marant also agreed that there was a need
for this board.
Commissioner Adams stated that he served on the previous board and
he thought that some good came out of it, and he felt that he would
be in favor of the re�creation of the board.
A motion was made by Commissioner Waiters to table this until the next
® meeting when the resolution can be presented. The motion 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
City Attorney Walden reported that he had a few discussions with Mr.
Linwood Cabot, Attorney who represents Tolly Vinik, who owns some 50
® acres in proximity to the Port Laudania area. He stated that Mr.
Vinik asked for water service to be extended to his property, and in
return the City requests that he be annexed to the City, which he
does not want to do. City Attorney Walden suggested, so that we will
know who to contact regarding annexation, that Mr. Farina, of Broome
F. Farina, prepare a sketch of the various areas that the City wishes
' Ga to annex, and the owners of these properties in this area. He further
suggested that, since there is only a few in the area of Port Laudania,
some of the Commissioners should visit the owners and sell them on the
idea of coming into the City.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT:
•
City Manager Goldberg reported that he has discussed with Mr. Maffie,
.If the Chamber of Commerce, the preparation and putting out of the

tit tiw,
�r
F
newsletter that the Commissioners requested. Mr. Maffie estimates
the cost of this, including the postage, would be approximately $150
r for a monthly or bi-iponthly.
0 A motion was made by Commissioner Brice to put out at least two
i editions of the newsletter to give it a try. The motion was seconded
by Commissioner Adams.
s
Commissioner Brice explained that the whole idea behind this newsletter
is to give the people of Dania a picture of what is going on at the
0 Chamber of Commerce and at the City Hall. He stated that over the last
period of years, the only kind of information the people could get from
the newspapers is that that is sensational.
Robert Houston asked why our own newspaper (The Dania Press) couldn't
> pick up these things and inform the people.
The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows:
j
Adams Yes
Brice Yes
' Kelly Yes
0 Waiters Yes
Marant Yes
City Manager Goldberg stated that the Chamber of Commerce has also
tried out a process of having a tourist bus visit the conventions at
the beach hotels and bringing some of the conventioneers wives, etc. ,
0 over to the Dania area. They expended $100 on this. He stated that
anything of this nature that they do in the future, they are going to
try to work it out where the purchases would pay for it; however, their
budget does not cover this expense at this time and he requested that
the City pay that $100 cost-from perhaps their promotions account.
0 Commissioner Brice stated that when the budget was prepared this year,
they put, he believed, $1000 in an account strictly for things that
would promote the City. .
A motion was made by Commissioner Brice that this $100 be paid out of
that account. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Adams, and the
0 roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows:
Adams Yes
Brice Yes
Kelly Yes
Waiters Yes
0 Marant Yes
City Manager Goldberg asked if the Commission wished to take any action
on a Christmas bonus for employees and Department heads. Mayor Marant
asked what has been done in the past. City Manager Goldberg stated that
in the past $25.00 has been allotted to the employees who have worked
0 for the City for more than 1 year. Below that, it was broken down in,
proportions of 6 months, 3 months, up to 3 months.
Mayor Marant stated that he particularly did not care for the way it was
set up; he felt that longevity should be considered, and also Depart-
ment heads should be given more. He suggested that the Department heads
0 be given $35.00.
Commissioner Brice stated that this Commission has made a concentrated
effort to adjust salaries. He felt that with the current budget and
with the raises that the employees have received, they cannot continue
to hand out. He felt that the people are paid well and that the City
® cannot afford the approximately $2,500 that this will cost.
� )inmissioner Adams asked Mr. Houston if he knew how long this practice
of (living out Christmas bonuses has been going on.
0 -9-
}
�F
Mr. Houston replied that it has been for a number of years; however,
it was originally set up for employees who have been with the City '
for over a year, and those who have worked for the City for 6 months,
but nor under 6 months . s
Mayor Marant stated that he felt it would be unfair to the employees
to do anything about it now, but that after Christmas the Commission
should re-evaluate the bonuses.
Commissioner Brice aske; where they could get the money; it is not
® budgeted. . City Clerk Thornhill replied that it has always been taken
out of account 902.13.
Commissioner Brice stated that that account is for additional help ={
that would be hired during the year.
City Clerk Thornhill replied that there has always been $2,000 in
that account for about 3 or 4 years, and she did not what Mr. Gold-
berg put the money in that account for; but that is where the bonuses
have been budgeted before. r,
1
A motion was made by Commissioner Adams to continue the Christmas
6 bonuses this year as usual. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Waiters . y'
City Manager Goldberg suggested that the breakdown be included for
the record, as follows:
Up to 3 months-------------------- $ 5.00
® Up to 6 months-------------------- 10.00
Up to 9 months--------------------- 15.00
Up to 1 year or beyond------------ 25.00
He asked if they wished to set an amount for Department Heads.
Commissioner Adams stated that his motion was to do this year as they
® had done in past years. Mayor Marant stated that his suggestion was
to revamp this, but not this year. He stated that it should be done
as soon as possible before next Christmas.
The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows:
Adams Yes
Brice No
Kelly Yes
Waiters Yes
Marant Yes
O City Manager Goldberg stated that the budget makes provisions for
contingencies to take care of conferences and training. But, for
bookkeeping purposes, the Commission should authorize the setting
up of a Conference and Training account, in the amount of $2,800,
to be taken from Contingencies.
Mayor Marant asked if this is money that has already been expended.
City Manager Goldberg stated that some if it, about half of it, has.
Robert Houston asked what it would cover. He stated that they have
traveling expenses set up now.
rp City Manager Goldberg stated that they have certain instances where
other people, Department Heads, might attend conferences and it is
charged maybe against the Commissioners travel account.
Mr. Houston stated that it should then come before the Commission to
approve.
A motion was made by Commissioner Brice that such an account be set
un .

City Attorney Walden suggested that it be done by resolution to set
�Fs up the new account and then transfer the amount from contingencies.
City Manager Goldberg stated that he thought this was similar to a
P' transfer that was made recently from contingencies to a special
investigation account, for $500. He stated that that was done by
a direct motion.
�t
! _ Mr. Houston again: asked what this account is for.
Commissioner Brice stated that some of it will be used for travel for
® the Police personnel to and from the-academy. It was not set up in
�w. the police budget.
Mr. Houston stated that they just made a couple of trips, one to
r:
Washington, one to Tampa and one to Las Vegas. He asked what accounts
k.4 ® those came out of.
Commissioner Brice replied that the one to Washington came out of the
s General Fund, the Expense Account for the City Manager. The one to
$' Clearwater, and he presumed the Commissioners out of the Las Vegas
account, was out of the Travel Account that was set aside for Commis-
sioners, which was in the budget.
Mr. Houston asked where the City Manager's travel expenses come out of.
City Manager Goldberg stated that there never was a travel expense set
up for the amount of traveling that they have had recently. As a result
® there was not particular account in the budget for that at the time that
the budget was set up. He stated that money was allotted in the Contin-
gency Account for this t9pe of thing. He stated that there is a travel
account; however, it is being a little bit overdone. For example, the
Commission saw fit to take the City Clerk to the Clearwater Convention.
The City Clerkts budget makes no provision for conferences or travel,
® and as a result, those funds were taken out of. the City Commission's
Travel, and he did not believe that was the purpose of the Travel
Account. He stated that he felt it was to be':routine business travel,
and not necessarily national conferences as they have had, or State
conferences which the Commission has decided upon attending. And as
long as they are going to decide upon attending, then they ought to
® have an account for it.
Mr. Houston stated that at the time it was set up, that is what they
estimated their travel would be, and it should be limited to that. He
asked "Why are we going overboard on this travel so much? If they
invited the City Clerk, then they should charge it to the Commissioners
A account, and charge yours to your account.
City Manager Goldberg continued that at the meeting at the time that
the budget was set up he did not think that the State or National
Conferences were provided for other than in the contingencies. He
recommended that an account be set up for it.

Commissioner Adams asked the City Attorney, in regards to the sewer
program, if the Engineers approve the system and it is accepted by
the City, how long will it be before the people could hook up to the
system.
® City Attorney Walden stated that they should be able to hook up im-
mediately after it is formally accepted. He stated that they have to
get the assessment roll in, but that shouldn't delay the,hook up.
Commissioner Adams asked if they could accept the underground work
without accepting the surface work. City Attorney Walden stated that
• he has consistantly advised against accepting it until it is fully
completed; however, they could accept it, but they ought to be doubly
sure that they have an exact understanding with the contractor that
they are accepting only the sewer part of it. He further suggested
that Philpott, Ross & Saarinen list in great detail the remaining
surface work to be done.
•
Commissioner Brice stated that they have neglected to put in a penalty
for not hooking up to the system. He stated that the sewer charges will
be billed along with the water bills, and they ought to notify the peo-
ple that if they do not pay their sewer charges, their water will be
turned off .
Mr. Houston stated that, in regards to the alley behind Frank Salvino's
home, and the alley between 3rd Terrace and 3rd Place,- the alleys were
just put in a couple years ago and the alleys should be replaced the
same as they were. Another alley behind Armand Wellts house also was
not replaced as original.
City Manager Goldberg reported that Mr. Houston reported this to him
and he contacted the Engineer, and the Engineers have the plans that
show the grades of these alleys. They show a continuous slope from
3rd to 2nd, which means that it may be wiser to put them in the way
the plans should have shown, rather than the way the plans say.
Bill Carney stated that the contract calls for the alleys to be re-
olr,red as they were originally put in. However, it is recommended by
tie Engineer and by Davis & Craven that some slight changes be made.

Mr. Carney stated that the owners of the property in question
would like a decision from the Commission as to how these alleys
are to be put in. It should be decided now because it is holding
up the rebuilding of those alleys.
FT
6A Commissioner Brice asked which way will they get rid of the water.
r�<
z` Mr. Houston replied, "The way they were originally put in. Mr.
Philpott put them in properly."
Commissioner Brice stated that we should go along with the Engineer's
rj. ® original plan.
A motion was made by Commissioner Brice to accept the recommendation
of Mr. Philpott, after being checked by the City Manager and the
Building Inspector, to have him put the alleys in at his (Engineer's)
discretion. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Adams, and the b
roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows:

felt that we should assess the property owners for it. Commissioner
Waiters agreed with the Mayor.

transfer of a 4 COP Liquor License from the Katherine Hotel to Mr.
Manning Taylor. He stated that Mr. Taylor is presently under a $2,500
