Mr. Ray spoke on behalf of many of the businessmen in the City of Dania; in reference to Ordinance 1631, regarding removal of trash and garbage. He stated that a notice that he and other businessmen • in the City received said that they would be allowed 40 gallons of garbage pick-up per week. He asked if this did not mean 40 gallons for each trash collection, which they receive twice a week, or BO gallons per week. City Manager Salvino stated that Mr. Ray only has 2 small cans, • therefore, he is not "our problem" ; ''Our problem is these hotels, restaurants and businesses that have;'25,.,30 or 40 cans of garbage." He stated that the City either has to change the ordinance, or add . two or three more mills next year, ,if_they are going to continue like they have been. • Mr. Ray stated that he felt that this ordinance is discriininating against the small businessman; because there is nothing in the ordinance that says that he cannot"carry his,trash and garbage from his plaoe .of business to,his home and have `it ,picked,up. He stated that he wished the City Commission would consider a more feasible ordinance for the businessmen of Dania. He�felt that large businesses should be charged for extra pick up 'over and above normal trash col- lection; but that normal trash collection for businesses should be larger than for homeowners. Commissioner Brice stated that .the Commission .has to deal on the basis of whether a business is small or large to be fair and equit- .0 1 able for everybody. 'We can't solve all of the problems either; and . we are always willing to .listen to the suggestions of the public, and' then we will try to work it out to the best solution for everybody. one businessman pointed out that he is only- a resident of the City for six months of the year, but`pays'a full. year ,tax to the City. Mr. MacMillan stated that he is paying taxes on 6 lots and con- solidating the garbage into one load. He further stated that there is no more businesses in the City now than there were 5 years. ago, and the garbage has been picked up all these years. 0 Commissioner Zenobia. stated that there are more businesses now and also more residents now than ,there were 5 years ago. He added that, 5 years ago the salaries were less and everything else was less. ® Mr. MacMillan asked, since he owns 6 lots, how much garbage will they pick up for him. Commissioner Brice suggested that each businessman in the City of Dania take the time to write them their suggestion as to how they can arrive at a solution to this problem, then they can come up • with the best solution possible, have a public hearing on it, and let them know. Paul Pisculli suggested that garbage should be picked up according to the.amount of taxes and the amount of square feet, also the amount of people to serve. • City Manager Salvino suggested that *a committee of perhaps five businessmen of the City get together with the Commission to work out the problems. Mr. McAlister, Poincianna Hotel, stated that he can't understand • : why, since about the first of August, all of a sudden the pick-up has bogged down. He stated that he` felt that one of the problems was that the men don't have proper supervision. Boisey Waiters stated that "you cannot entice men to work for the City of Dania below minimum wages and expect to get top-notch per- formance. We must do something with the budget." He suggested that they appoint a committee to study the situation and bring their recommendations back to the Commission. City Manager Salvino stated that they will have a meeting,with the businessmen of the City, to be open to the public. 10. Correspondence: City Clerk Thornhill read a letter from Mrs. Martin C.

'She requested that some- thing be done to clean up the property. • City Clerk Thornhill read a letter from Mr. Frank Eby, regarding S.W. 4th Street, between Federal Highway and Second Avenue. He stated that about a year ago the residents on this street paid a special assessment to pave this street, but after the sewer line was installed, two strips of asphalt paving were placed in the middle of the street and as .a result, "the street now looks worse than it ever did-" He requested that more,Asphalt be,laid to make the street of uniform surface: Mayor Adams asked about the property on 16th Street. Mr. Lindeman explained that there"was a permit issued for a newgasrstation, but work has been discontinued on it. There are four old buildings i there to be removed. Mayor Adams suggested:that the building inspec- tor and the Fire Chief go 'down there. and 'check' it. City Manager Salvino asked if the City hasthe authority to cancel the building permit until the property is cleaned, up. ® City Attorney Walden replied that, although the authority may be somewhat weak, if they went ahead and, cancelled it, they have got" the burden then to re-establish:_it.":He suggested that the City Commission.make a motion to authorize the City Manager to advise Standard Oil Company that the permit will be revoked within 10 days unless the property is cleaned ..off. 8 , A motion was made by Commissioner Zenobia to authorize the City Man ager to advise Standard Oil Company-that the permit will be revoked. ® within 10 days unless the property is cleaned off.

Also he recommended that Lots 1, 2 & 3, Block 131 belonging to the Dania Baptist Church also be cancelled by resolution.
