Byrd Vice-Mayor: John Bertino Commissioners: Jean Cook James Adams Robert Donly City Attorney: Frank Adler City Manager: Richard Marant Deputy City Clerk: Mary Jabalee The meeting was called to order and Mayor Byrd explained the format of the meeting stating that the Broward County Planning Council authorized the Commission to view the Broward County Planning Staff' s proposals and make a recommendation on the route of A-1-A. The meeting was then continued while the Commission and Planning Council Staff toured the alternate routes by bus. 1. Discussion of A-1-A corridor: Also present at this meeting were members of the Broward County Planning Staff, Broward County Commissioner Nikki Grossman, Father O'Connor of the Church of the Resurrection; a representative of Dania Jai Alai, a--group from the Danian Condominiums and many concerned citizens. Nancy Bright stepped forward and outlined the five alternative routes encompassing nine corridors that the Broward County Planning Council is considering for the A-1-A corridor and announced that the Planning Council is leaning toward #5B. Mr. Ryan, an attorney representing The Church of the Resurrec- tion and the Archdiocese of Miami, expressed rebuttal to the alternative proposals and suggested that the City request the Planning Council to direct their county agencies to make further cost studies. Commissioner Donly paid tribute to Nikki -Grossman' s interest and participation in this workshop meeting. After a question and answer period during which Nikki Grossman and Nancy Bright participated, Commissioner Grossman stated that she thought the Broward County Commission' s current position is one of concern for the property of the Church and the property of the City of Dania where residents are presently living and that an acceptable alternative is necessary. She went on to say that a study should be made of the possibil- ity of an elevated roadway through the West Lake corridor before any decision is made to acquire properties. The consensus of opinion on the part of the City Commissioners was that alternative A, the five alternatives of B, and alternative C are all unacceptable because of their damaging impact on society and that alternatives D or E, upon closer investigation, might prove to have a much lesser impact on the environment with negligible ecological damage.
