Earl G. Gallop, the Attorney hired by the city with regard to the
airport expansion, presented the backgrounds and qualifications of
two former FAA employees, one a design engineer specializing in
airport design, and the other specializing in noise and
environmental studies . He requested that the Commission consider
authorizing the hiring of these two men to assist him in reviewing
the County's plan. He estimated the total cost to hire both men w
would be $16,000-$20, 000 covering 100-120 hours combined time.
The Commissioners agreed that consultants with such credentials
i were necessary to fight the airport expansion battle. It was
estimated that the whole battle could end up costing about
$100, 000.
City Manager Jewell commented that Phase I will be to try to stop '
the expansion. In the event that cannot be accomplished, then
other phases will follow, the final goal being to make sure the
residents ' and the City of Dania's interests are protected.
A motion was made by Commissioner Bertino, seconded by Vice Mayor
Cook to authorize Mr. Gallop to employ the two consultants, Mr.
Arnold and Mr. Goodwin, in an amount not to exceed $20, 000. and to
j authorize the City Manager to secure the necessary funds to fight I
} the airport expansion battle. Y

I * .(At this time Agenda Item 1 was readdressed. )
City Manager Jewell commented on the need to direct Mr. Gallop
regarding his acceptance of calls from residents, since the time
used in handling those calls is included in his itemized bill to
the City.
It was agreed that, although the City cannot dictate who Mr.
Gallop accepts calls from, the City will only accept
responsibility for payment of those that come through the City
Manager's office . The Commission made it clear that this applies k
to the City Engineer as well . The Commission generally agreed
that in a situation of urgency where the City Manager is
unavailable, the Chairman of the Airport Advisory Committee, Bob
Mikes, will be authorized to call Mr. Gallop.
