ending their fiscal year in a few days.

Hearing no further comments, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
rVice Mayor Mikes provided his phone number for the public to call him if they know of any
corruption going on at City Hall and explained the reasons why the millage had to be

M '
construction.
Commissioner Hyde commended the openness of the current Commission that allows the '
public to call each Commissioner individually.

Frank King, AFSCME Representative, clarified that there is no General Employee who starts
in an entry level position at a salary of$27,000 as previously stated by a Dania resident. There
is a Utilities Forman in the General Employees Bargaining Unit who has been employed for
10 years who now makes $27,000. There are other cities in Broward County who have entry
level positions starting at $27,000 with lesser responsibilities and they increase to $35,000
within four years. Dania General Employees are making less money and providing more
service and are underpaid compared to other city employees. Mr. King encouraged the r
Commission to consider salary raises for the General Employee Bargaining Unit in this
Budget.

Vincent Carroll commented on the 1009E salary increase that has been provided for the
y ` Commission by decreasing the expense account. He objected to the 510,000 provided in last
years budget for Commission travel instate and out-of-state and the $5,000 that has been -
" " provided in the current budget. Mr. Carroll didn't feel that the Boisev Waiters Center is
serving any real purpose and encouraged the Commission to question whether funds need to
be budgeted for this facility.
. r
City Manager Flaticy advised that the Commission has just removed money from the expense
f account and put it into their salary account but that there is no increase in funds. Mr. Flatley
I stated that there will be a need for the Commission to travel to Tallahassee, on behalf of the
City this year, regarding a proposed annexation bill and that the Commission has not received
an increase in salary for 15 years.
City Attorney Adler advised that the Boisey Waiters Center is used for record storage and Mr.
Flatley said that the center is also used for two offices.
Mr. Flaticy commended Mr. Carroll for his interest in the budget by sitting through the 7
hour meeting and complimented Frank King for his representation of the General
Employees. Mr. Flatley mentioned that there are plans to develop the City in hope for a
better financial position in order to meet the salary needs of the employees.
Commissioner Bertino mentioned the positive action of the Commission to attend seminars
and functions for educational purposes to better serve the City. Vice Mayor Mikes clarified II
that the Commission works very hard at the educational conferences they attend on behalf of
the City and that the public is not aware of the financial hardship involved to serve in political c
office. Commissioner Jones said that he did not run for office for the financial gain and that it
is difficult to meet the cost needs to operate the City.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Mikes, seconded by Commissioner Hyde to adopt the I.
resolution as required by the City Charter and Section 200.065, Florida Statutes, for the final I
