ROLL CALL: Present: aMayor: Bob Mikes Vice Mayor: Jim Cali Commissioners: John Bertino (arrived late) John Etling ( Asst. City Attorney: Tim Ryan j City Manager: Mike Smith i City Clerk: Marie Jabalee Absent: Commissioner: Bill Hyde i For the benefit of the public, Assistant City Attorney Ryan explained the tax notice that was recently sent out to property owners from Broward County, which also includes non-ad valorem special assessments for Fire Rescue, Solid Waste and Stormwater Services. Mayor Mikes explained that the majority of cities have been forced to implement the Fire Rescue Special Assessment fees since Broward County stopped allocating funds from taxes for fire services. The Special Assessment Fees is diverse because properties that were not taxed in the past or minimally taxed for various reasons will now have to pay. The Stormwater Assessment deals with the storm drainage problems in certain areas and the entire City and the fee should not go much higher i than $20.00. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE PROVISION OF FIRE RESCUE SERVICES, FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS IN THE CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA; REIMPOSING FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENTS AGAINST ASSESSED PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF DANIA FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 1997; APPROVING THE RATE OF ASSESSMENT; APPROVING THE ASSESSMENT ROLL; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE." i In addition to reimbursing the City for lost revenue from the County, Assistant Chief Land explained that the special assessment fees would . d cover cost for additional fire equipment and two new fire stations. A new 1 ! MINUTES-SPECIAL MEETING 1 SEPTEMBER 11, 1997 I v 1. engine is being delivered next week, architectural plans are currently 1 being prepared for Fire Station 1, land is being acquired to build Fire Station#2 and vehicle purchases were needed for inspectors and administrative chiefs. City Manager Smith explained that 25% of the Fire Department's Budget is paid through the Special Assessment Program, which is a more equitable way of funding public safety services. The fee has been reduced from $85.18 last year to $81.35 this year. Mayor Mikes opened the public hearing. Attorney John Hinden, representing Arshak Corporation, explained that his client owns a mobile home park that was not assessed for fire rescue services in 1996. His client is now being assessed for 1996 and 1997 Fire Rescue fees. Mr. Hinden requested consideration on waiving or mitigating the assessment since the City did not provide proper legal notification. It was noted that Attorney Mark Lawson, Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A., was correcting the designation on one of the 240 lots from Commercial to Residential. For the record, Attorney Mark Lawson mentioned his intentions to work on a payment plan to resolve the problem presented by Attorney Hinden on behalf of Arshak Corporation. Bobbie Grace, 110 NW 8 Avenue, recommended using part of the $1.6 million dollars to be received from Broward County per the Interlocal Agreement regarding the Airport expansion and the $1 million from the FALI/Seatech facility towards the new fire station. Mayor Mikes clarified that the $1.6 million dollars expected from the County has not been received and has not been included in the budget. Albert Jones, 722 SW 3 Street, urged the City Commission to provide a relief to taxpayers by reducing the proposed taxes. Doug Dyser opposed the method used to calculate his assessment fee for his two apartment buildings on SW 33 Avenue. City Manager Smith explained that the formula used to calculate the fee is based on call data supplied by the Fire Department. Another formula is used to determine the distribution of the fee between residential, industrial and commercial properties. I Vito Mancino questioned the need to charge the Fire Rescue Assessment fee when emergency transport service is covered under insurance. Chief Land explained that the single tier system was implemented two or three years ago. Prior to Dania providing the service, citizens paid a private ambulance service to transport them to the hospital. Revenues from transport fees are just under$400,000, which does not offset the entire cost for fire/rescue services. An estimated 40% of calls handled by the Fire Department do not involve transporting patients; a study has shown that Dania is the second lowest city providing fire/rescue services. {i I MINUTES-SPECIAL MEETING 2 SEPTEMBER 11, 1997 I y ` \ 1 Marne McCarthy, 600 NE 2 Street, was concerned with the fee being increased year after year since its defined as a non-ad valorem fee. Mayor Mikes mentioned that one of the benefits of the special assessment fee is that some exempted properties are now required to e rate is established hrough a comprehensive e study and professional ayor Cali mentioned that h consultations; e ns; the fee cannot be increased arbitrarily. Juanita Gunther, 344 NE 2 Court, and Kathy Dubiski, 4615 SW 34 Terrace, expressed their opposition to the tax increase and were dissatisfied that taxes seem to be so high in Dania. City Manager Smith pointed out that Dania's proposed tax rate is 6.2% and that the City of Miramar is proposing a 6.92% tax rate. Tony Schiavoni commended the professional services provided to the citizens by the Fire Department, but opposed the implementation of the fire rescue special assessment fee. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Mikes closed the public hearing. i Assistant City Attorney Ryan read the title of the resolution. A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Cali, seconded by Commissioner Etling, to adopt the resolution imposing Fire/Rescue Assessments beginning October 1, 1997. The motion to approve passed on the following roll call vote: Commissioner Etling -yes Vice-Mayor Cali-yes j' Mayor Mikes - yes 2. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA, RELATING TO I THE PROVISION OF SOLID WASTE SERVICE ASSESSMENTS IN THE CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA; REIMPOSING SOLID WASTE SERVICE ASSESSMENTS AGAINST ASSESSED PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE GRIFFIN ROAD ANNEXATION AREA OF THE CITY OF DANIA FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 1997; APPROVING THE RATE OF ASSESSMENT; APPROVING THE i ASSESSMENT ROLL;AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE." I City Manager Smith advised that there is no increase in the solid waste i charges and that the only change taking place is that the annual amount will be billed on the property tax bill as was implemented last year. Mayor Mikes opened the public hearing. Ken Saboren, 5055 SW 28 Avenue, requested an explanation on why the east section of Dania pays $19.90 per month - $238.00 a year and residents in the west section pay $320.86 a year for garbage disposal. City Manager Smith mentioned that Dania was obligated to honor the Broward County contract when the area was annexed in 1991. The City i i MINUTES-SPECIAL MEETING 3 SEPTEMBER 11, 1997 y \ plans to combine both sections of the City under one garbage hauler when the Broward County Contract expires in 1998. An unidentified citizen was informed that they should contact the City Clerk Department for a copy of the garbage contract. City Manager Smith responded to a question by Aileen Casaw, 4441 SW 34 Drive, on the revenues being expended in the Stormwater Budget. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Mikes closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Cali, seconded by Commissioner Etling, to adopt the resolution approving the Solid Waste Assessment Program beginning October 1, 1997. The motion to approve passed on the following roll call vote: i Commissioner Etling -yes Vice-Mayor Cali-yes Mayor Mikes - yes 3. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE PROVISION OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SERVICES IN THE CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA; REIMPOSING STORMWATER ASSESSMENTS AGAINST DEVELOPED PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF DANIA FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 1997; APPROVING THE RATE OF ASSESSMENT; i APPROVING THE ASSESSMENT ROLL; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE." City Manager Smith explained that around $350,000 is raised through the Stormwater Program. The Stormwater Fund is an operation and maintenance program, not a capital improvement program. The Public Works Department has replaced lines, installed catch basins, utilized the Vac truck to clean the existing system and used a street sweeper to ensure that the quality of water runoff meets EPA standards. Mayor Mikes opened the public hearing. For the record, a representative from the Tigertail Industrial Park stated that his property is self-contained and he is not obligated to pay the Stormwater Assessment that has been billed incorrectly on his tax bill. Richard Redden, 579 SW 28 Terrace, disagreed with western property owners being expected to cover the cost to handle the flooding problems existing in the southwest section of the city. City Manager Smith clarified that residents will be charged separately if a substantial Stormwater i System is ever implemented in the southwest area. Mr. Smith stated that the Stormwater Program provides operation and maintenance throughout the entire City. In addition, Commissioner Etling clarified that the assessment fee cannot legally be imposed on any property unless the it particular parcel is benefiting; properties receiving capital improvements will be assessed specifically. i MINUTES-SPECIAL MEETING 4 SEPTEMBER 11, 1997 i Y Vito Mancino pointed out that a large amount of water flows from U.S. 1 down to the East Side of the City and Broward County does not maintain the road. I Hearing no further comments, Mayor Mikes closed the public hearing. I Assistant City Attorney Ryan read the title of the resolution. A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Cali, seconded by Commissioner Etling, to adopt the resolution approving the Stormwater Assessment Program beginning October 1, 1997. The motion to approve passed on the following roll call vote: i Commissioner Etling -yes Vice-Mayor Cali-yes Mayor Mikes -yes i Utilities Director Palm was asked to speak with Mrs. Gunter in an effort to resolve the flooding problem existing on her property. 4. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA, AS REQUIRED j BY THE CITY CHARTER AND SECTION 200.065, FLORIDA i STATUTES, APPROVING THE PROPOSED MILLAGE RATE NECESSARY TO BE LEVIED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1997-98; AND I PROVIDING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING WHEN OBJECTION THERETO WILL BE HEARD AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING SAME WILL BE ANSWERED; AND REPEALING ALL RESOLUTIONS OR PARTS OF RESOLUTIONS IN CONFLICT HEREWITH; AND PROVIDING FOR AN I EFFECTIVE DATE." Assistant City Attorney Ryan read the title of the resolution. j Mayor Mikes advised that the millage rate is proposed at 6.2%. 1 Vice-Mayor Cali reported that the General Employees Pension Fund balance as of August 31, 1997,was $7,176,360.00. The General Employees funds has increased by $914,040.00 for the period March 14, 1997, to August 31, 1997. The 98/99 fiscal year budget will receive major i savings because of the tremendous rise in the stock market. City Manager Smith reported that this year's budget is $16,231, 845.00, which is an increase over last year's $15,495.435.00. Last year's millage rate was 5.8% and the proposed millage rate for the 97/98 fiscal year is 6.2%. This is a 6.9% actual increase over last year and a 10.58% increase over the rollback rate. Mr. Smith presented further information on increased staff positions, vehicle purchases, reorganization of the Public Works Department, renovation of Fire Station#1, a new fire station in the west, and upgrades for fire communications equipment. } 9 i MINUTES-SPECIAL MEETING 5 SEPTEMBER 11, 1997 i At this time, Commissioner Bertino arrived. He apologized for being late for this meeting due to his obligation to attend tonight's Open House at Olsen Middle School. Mayor Mikes opened the public hearing on the millage rate. Albert Jones, 722 SW 3 Street, expressed his reasons for disagreeing with the vehicle purchases, reorganization of the Public Works Department, new hires, action to hire a private company for landscaping maintenance, and the lack of funding for grant opportunities and a swimming program at Modello Park. Mr. Jones was not convinced that it was cost effective to spend $170,000 for a private landscaping company so that Public Works crews could handle Code Enforcement issues; it might be better to hire two more Code Enforcement Officers. Mr. Jones presented further dissatisfaction with the budget lacking matching funds for Community Development Block grant opportunities. Bobbie Grace, 110 NW 8 Avenue, expressed her opposition to increasing the millage rate in order to fund new hires and vehicle purchases. She recommended to donate to agencies supplying services to Dania such as Area Agency on Aging and Camp Blanding ChildCare Center. After commending Frank Adler for his dedication to Dania for so many years, she urged the commission to come to a decision to hire legal expertise to protect the welfare of the City. Mrs. Grace urged the City Commission to reject this budget as presented and to make adjustments prior to the final adoption on September 23, 1997. Aileen Castle, 4441 SW 34 Drive, expressed dissatisfaction that the budget public hearing was being used as a political forum for potential candidates. She mentioned the high cost of living and urged the City Commission to reconsider lowering the millage rate if possible. i Vito Mancino urged the City Officials to review financial opportunities resulting from the expansion of the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Mikes closed the public hearing. i Chief Frey, BSO, mentioned that BSO and the City of Dania are entering their last year of a 4-year contract. BSO has always been successful in 1 reaching an amicable resolution with City Staff on contract increases. i City Manager Smith mentioned that costs in the BSO contract were reduced by $100,000.00. Vice-Mayor Cali mentioned that grant funding is provided for School Resource Officers and positions directly impacting services, which is in addition to what the City pays for in the Contract. City Manager Smith agreed that the BSO Contract is a good value since the cost of providing the number of deputies on Dania streets exceeds the amount charged by BSO. i i MINUTES-SPECIAL MEETING 6 SEPTEMBER 11, 1997 i i Vice-Mayor Cali suggested that the City might be able to reduce the millage rate in the future if an aggressive collection procedure is implemented to collect large sums of unpaid Code Enforcement liens. I i Mayor Mikes commended the Fire Department on its projected budget and announced that the $1.6 million dollars from Broward County as outlined in the Airport Interlocal Agreement is expected shortly. Since this money is coming from the County, Mayor Mikes recommended reducing l the Contingency Fund by $105,000 and mentioned the reduction in Debt Service in Water Administration by $50,000.00. City Manager Smith reminded the Mayor that the reduction of$150,000 would only provide a minimal reduction in taxes. Commissioner Bertino urged the City Commission to consider implementing a bond issue to pay for needed recreational improvements at City Parks. Vice-Mayor Cali mentioned that members of the Budget Advisory Board have expressed concern about the City's cost on health insurance. He recommended advertising an RFP on health insurance to see if there is a better way to provide the same level of benefits to the employees at savings. City Manager Smith advised that premiums have been reduced since the City started the self-insurance fund program; employees select benefits from a Cafeteria Program and the City reduces cost through an aggressive managed care program, Vice-Mayor Cali suggested to see if 1 the City could piggyback off of the Broward Sheriffs Office HIP bid without reducing benefits to employees or retirees. City Manager Smith opposed the idea of changing over to the Humana Program, but agreed to follow up on Vice-Mayor Cali's suggestion. While Finance Director/City Clerk Jabalee left the meeting to calculate the rollback rate for changing the millage rate to 6.1, City Manager Smith explained plans to upgrade community standards to encourage new business. Vice-Mayor Cali requested an attendance report be supplied on the Budget Advisory Board to ensure that members are attending meetings in accordance with the bylaws for the board. To reduce the millage rate to 6.1%, Finance Director Jabalee reported that the rollback rate remains the same and that the percent of increase over the rollback rate changes from 10.58% to 8.79%. Assistant City Attorney Ryan read the Resolution in its entirety. A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Cali, seconded by Commissioner j Etling, to amend the millage rate to 6.1% and to adopt the Resolution as s amended. The motion to approve passed on the following roll call vote: Commissioner Bertino-yes Commissioner Etling —yes iVice-Mayor Cali-yes Mayor Mikes - yes J MINUTES-SPECIAL MEETING 7 SEPTEMBER 11, 1997 Y I 5.

Assistant City Attorney Ryan advised that since the millage rate has been amended to 6.1%, there would be a need to amend Exhibit A of the budget resolution. Finance Director Jabalee advised that Contingency would be reduced from $155,680.00 to a balance of$50,680.00 on page 6 in the General Fund Expenditures and the ad valorem revenue will be reduced by $105,000.00 on Page 1 of the Revenues. Mayor Mikes opened the public hearing. Bobbie Grace requested further review of the budget between this meeting and the final public hearing on September 23 to see if there are any other ways to reduce costs. A motion was made by Commissioner Bertino, seconded by Vice-Mayor Cali, to amend the Budget Resolution by reducing Contingency on Page 6 of the General Fund and ad valorem revenue on Page 1 under Revenues by $105,000 as a result of reducing the millage rate to 6.1%.
