The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hi" Mr. John Morel was present representing the application. • The roll being called; the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill Yes Young Yes Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes 8. Civil Service Plan. Commissioner Zenobia stated that when he first brought up the Civil • Service plan, he said at that time, that he would like to have it for the Fire Department and Police Department, and someone else said to include the whole City. He stated that it was a quite large plan, and a good plan, but he still was sticking to what he said in the beginning; to start it off, stick to just the Police .and Fire Depart- ment and see how it works out before going any further with it. A motion was made by Commissioner Zenobia to set up Civil Service for the Police Department, the Fire Department (including the Chief of Police, and the Fire Chief), and also including the City Clerk and tz ' the Assistant City Clerk at this time. The motion was seconded by -5- ® Commissioner Grammer. Commissioner Young stated that he understood that Department Heads were not included in this. However, on page 8, it does not exempt department heads. He recommended that the City Commission sit down • with the 5 members of the Civil Service Board and go over this item for item with them. A motion was made by Commissioner Young to table this and instruct the City Manager to set up a joint meeting with the 5 members of the Civil Service Board, so that we may become more familiar with the • plan. Mayor Salvino stated that the Commission got the books three weeks ago, and they discussed it at the last meeting to get together with the board. He wanted to know why it wasn't brought up before this meeting. City Manager Salvino stated that he has been asked for copies of this book by several people, and he wanted them to know that he has no copies; the only people who,have copies, are the City, Commission and the 5 members of the Board. Commissioner Hill: For the sake of discussion, I will second Mr. Young's motion; and, in discussion, I feel also that we should better acquaint ourselves with this program. I am not against Civil Service, but I feel that the citizens, the City, and the employees should have all the protection that we can afford them. I also would like to sit down with the Board and go over it item by item. • Commissioner Grammer stated that every candidate here, and practi- cally every candidate that ran said they were for Civil Service. He stated that this is the basic Fort Lauderdale Plan and they could have checked with Fort Lauderdale. He stated that he is for Civil Service, and he would like to see Civil Service for these three • departments. Commissioner Zenobia stated that he agreed with Mr. Grammer. They promised the people at the last meeting that they would come up with it tonight, he looked at the book, and it is the Fort Lauderdale Plan, which has been tried, and it is a good plan. He stated that there were a lot of rumors going around town, and he was laughing at someone else thinking the rumor was about him, and he found out that the rumor was about himself. He wanted it known that the article in the newspaper the other day was a viciousslie, that he has no intention, and never has any intention of being Chief of Police, and this is one of the reasons why he wants the Chief to be protected. Every time there is an election, the Chiefts job is at stake, the Fire Chiefts job is at stake, and Mary's job is at stake; so he wanted to get Civil Service once and for all and forget all the nonsense. j Mr. MacMillan stated that he was one of the persons who asked the City Manager for a copy, and how can they become interested and familiar. with City government, if they can't find out ahything about it. He stated "even if you had a copy nailed to the wall downstairs and charged a nickel to read it, I would like to go read it". Commissioner Hill stated that she felt that they should not hastily go into it for the simple purpose of quieting rumors; and she would not be for having a Civil Service Plan just to quiet rumors. She again repeated that she was not against Civil Service. Commissioner Young pointed out that if this is to be revised to cover, 4 only two departments, then the rules that are set forth here would not apply. It would be something completely different. Commissioner : r Young then pointed out a few flaws in the book. He suggested that the Commission should set down with the 5 members to study this and make the recommendations, and then come up with whatever plan, if any, +fir' i;: ® or changes, deletions, additions or what-have-you, that are going to be what we feel is the best to the general taxpayer in town. And then the taxpayer should be appraised, even if it be by a bulletin sent out, by using your mailing list for the water depart- ment. Commissioner Zenobia pointed out that this Commission has passed • many an ordinance on first reading without knowing what was going to be written in it, and :then find out before the third reading, which can be done on this. He also pointed out that the flaws in it can also be changed before the third reading. Mr. Houston stated that he felt that something as important as • this should be brought before the public, and he felt that they should be informed of what was going into it. He suggested that they have a copy in the City Hall, and if anyone wishes to read it, they should put up a deposit on it which could be returned when the copy is returned. • Gene Pelliccia asked why the 'garbage collectors weren't mentioned in the motion; "they are the lowest paid workers in this town". He felt that Civil Service should include each and every one that works for the City of Dania, not just a select 'group.. On the motion to table, the roll being called, the Commissioners • voted as follows: Grammer No Hill Yes Young Yes Zenobia No . • Salvino No Motion not carried. Commissioner Young: I would like to offer an amendment that, as a • vote is going to be taken on it at this time, that the gentleman making the motion spell out in detail; wbite out just exactly the rules that will be applicable to the persons and employees of the City. Commissioner Zenobia: Well) I am not going to spell it out in • detail, because you have to go from one page to another page to try to get it all together, because this covers the whole city. This is only the first reading. I will do it on the second reading, if you wish, but I will not do it on first reading. Commissioner Young: You are, in effect, wanting at this time to pass • an ordinance of which you yourself have no knowledge of what you are passing. The motion for amendment was seconded by Commissioner Hill. Mr. Houston asked how can they pass an ordinance when they don't know what is in it, and he doubts if Attorney Walden even knows what they want in it. Commissioner Grammer stated that they were voting on the ones who were for Civil Service and the ones who were against it; that is what it boils doom to. "If you are going to be for something, you are for it; if you are not, you are going to be against it anyway, • so let's call for a vote". Commissioner Young asked how are you going to be for something, when you don't know what you are for. "When I.vote, I want to vote in good conscience, and I want to know the fine print of the contract before I vote" . Commissioner Grammer pointed out that the Commission promised to give the people an answerc.at this meeting. -7- i ® City Attorney Walden stated that he has never seen this report or the Fort Lauderdale Ordinance; he would prefer that it be phrased that if the basic Fort Lauderdale Ordinance is what the majority of the Com- mission want, then the motion should simply direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to comply with the Dania language, following the substance of the Fort Lauderdale Ordinance; but applying it to the • Fire and Police Departments and the one Department Head that was mentioned. That motion would not have the effect of the ordinance, but with that he would come back with the basic ordinance that would follow this Lauderdale ordinance, and go on from there with it. You understand that this is not an ordinance you are passing; it is simply an instruction to me to prepare something in accordance with the Lau- derdale Ordinance. Commissioner Zenobia: How long would this take to prepare? City Attorney Walden: Would the second meeting of November be reasonable, or would you like it before that? • Commissioner Zenobia: I would like it before that. City Attorney Walden: If the City wants to hire a secretary for me I can do it. I will do my best to have it at the next meeting. Mr. Houston asked why, since they were going to include certain depart- ment Heads, why they didn't include them all; because the department heads were very important. Commissioner Grammer stated that he didn't understand why they got the OK for Civil Service from Tallahassee; they didn't need a refer • rendum vote on it, and that is what they are asking for. Mr. Houston stated that they were not asking for a referrendum vote, but they would like a copy of it to go over it. .,He again asked why the other department heads were not included. • Laura Dion asked why the Commission was not willing to sit down with the board and discuss it.. Commissioner Grammer stated that it was one of his campaign promises to work for Civil Service, and he is going out of office in approxi- mately 15 days, and he wanted to go on record that he is for Civil • Service like he promised in his campaign. He. pointed out that this plan has worked in Lauderdale. Mayor Salvino stated that he didn't want it delayed because he has heard that the Fire Chief, Police Chief and City Clerk were going to be replaced;"£herg has been more hiring and firing since he has been • elected than he ever heard of in his life". . Mr. Houston asked who are the members of the board. Commissioner Zenobia answered: Robert Dubow, Attorney; Dan Foley, Financial field; Joe Bebon, Financial field; Mr. Beese; and Frank • Rheames, Post Office Department; and Jim DiCoursey. (Bebon wasn't on this board) . Mr. Houston asked why should they turn down authority to citizens or members of this board, to decide whether certain department heads should be replaced? Mr. Foley answered that he understands that this was a proposal they were asked to make. They knew that the adoption, radification, or any changes on this had to be made by the Commission. He stated that they were not sitting in judgement of anybody, "our -job is done, as far as we are doncerned" . As far as the board meeting with the Com • mission, he saw little sense in meeting. with the Commission, not that he would be personally opposed to it, but he .did not see what it would accomplish. "We felt these were our recommendations; if they don't want to accept them, that is now their problem" . • 0 ® Mr.�Houston again asked why they shouldturn authority over to people who are not elected to represent the people, to decide whether depart- ment heads shall be replaced or not. He felt the City Commission should decide whether they are proper employees or not. He is not for firing anybody who does their job. • City Attorney Walden suggested that they could take this report, as is, without making any corrections, and making two or three hundred copies, which they could have available very quickly, and then just taking this report and considering it at the next meeting. Commissioner Hill asked Commissioner Zenobia why he included some • department heads, and not all of them. Commissioner Zenobia answered that he included some because, for one reason, he didn't want to go into the whole city at this particular time; and another reason is that he included the City Clerk's office because he thought the City Clerk is very improtant to the City. "If ♦ anybody wants to know anything, it is always 'ask Mary"' . And he would hate to see Mary dismissed. Gene Pelleccia stated that those are always rumors. He wanted every- one who works for the City of Dania included, whether it is the Police Chief or the garbage collector; and "my garbage collector is just as • important to me as Mary Thornhill is to you as the City Clerk" . Mr. Houston stated that he has heard rumors of the department heads being fired; he wanted to go on record as saying that when that Commission changes, if any one of them makes an attempt to fire either one of them, he will be right in here circulating a petition • to recall them. There is no reason for such rumors. Ar=tioncwas made'..by Commissioner Zenobia to instruct the City Attor- ney to draft an ordinance for Civil Service, based on the Fort Lauder- dale Ordinance, to present at the next meeting, to include the Police and Fire Departments and the City<:CleR.-dnd.Deputy Clerk. • Commissioner Young withdrew his amendment to the previous motion. Commissioner Hill withdrew her second fo the amended motion. The motion to instruct the City Attorney to draft the ordinance was • seconded by Commissioner Grammer, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill Yes Young Yes • Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes 9. Report from City Manager. City Manager Salvino presented a final bill from John Sessa for • cleaning up the beach, curbing and paving: $1,503.25. He recommended payment of the bill. A motion was made by Commissioner Young to authorize the City Manager to pay the bill, upon receipt of an itemized bill, and the City Man- ager's approval of the bill. The motion was seconded by Commissioner • Zenobia, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill Yes Young Yes Zenobia Yes • Salvino Yes • 0 ® City Manager Salvino stated that the Fire Chief has requested 1000 feet of hose, and he would like to have authorization to advertise for it. A motion was made by Commissioner Young to authorize the City Man- ager to advertise for bids for 1000 feet of hose, City Manager and • Fire Chief to prepare proper specifications; bids to be received November 15, 8:30 P.M. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hill, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill Yes • Young Yes Zenobia Yet Salvino Yes City Manager Salvino stated that Mr. Peters, Water Works Superinten- dant, informed him that they needed an extra well at the Water Plant, • in the S.E. cornei+ of the property. He asked for authorization to advertise for a well. There followed some discussion, after which it was recommended that this be tabled until the City Manager can get more information on it. • City Manager Salvino advised the Commission that we do need a new tractor-mower; and he recommended that they advertise for a new one, and trade the old one in. Commissioner Grammer stated that he felt the City could use a new one, but keep the old one also. • Commissioner Young stated that he would like to see a comparison on what it would cost for a new one, and what it costs to overhaul the old one. City Manager Salvino stated that he has a proposed change order that • was requested by Carl Maccario, S.E. 3rd Terrace; the sewers went about half-way down the block and quit, Ocean Golf Addition. They were going to start construction there, soon, and requested that the sewer line be extended to the end of'the block. A motion was made by Commissioner Zenobia to instruct M$s• Philpott, • Engineer, to draw up a change order to include S.E. 3rd Terrace, from S.E. 4th Avenue to S.E. Sth Avenue. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Young, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Pass • Hill Yes Young Yes Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes City Manager Salvino stated that he had the 1928 assessment list that' • the auditor found . He stated that he had a list of the names, if the Commissioners wished, he would present it to Mr. Walden to draw up a resolution to write them off . He stated that this was supposed to be cancelled by resolution years ago, and if it has been done, the reso- lution is lost. He stated that most of these people have donated rights-of-way in return for cancellation of these assessments. • Commissioner Grammer pointed out that tonight they passed on some parking facilities for one church, but the Chtholic Church had to spend 19 to 20 thousand dollars.-for parking. They passed one church tonight without parking, but this church was made to put a sidewalk practically all the way around the church, they had to pay for it; • and he couldn't see giving one a sidewalk for nothing, and making another pay for it. "A church is a church, l dontt care what the denomination is" . -10- o � ® Earlene Gifford stated that she has been assessed for a sidewalR, but there is no sidewalk in front of her house. Commissioner Young suggested that the City Manager and the Engin- eer look into this and investigate. City Manager Salvino presented a bill, Estimate #2, from Tognoli Brothers, on the construction of the Fire Station: $20,198.55 He informed the Commission that the building has been inspected by the Building Inspector. Commissioner Grammer asked Mr. Lindeman if he thought the bill was • in order; to which Building Inspector Lindeman replied that it was. A motion was made by Commissioner Grammer that the bill be paid. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Zenobia, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill Yes Young No Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes City Manager Salvino stated, on the discussion of the lights on Sheridan Street, the State Road Department stated that Sheridan Street is a state road, and they definitely do not put lights on any state road except the interstate J*y.:o,.sysr,;and at dangerous state . crossings. It involves about $4)000 if the City wishes to pay for their share in lighting Sheridan Street to the City Limits, from Federal Highway going West. A motion was made by Commissioner Young to cancel the installation of lights on Sheridan Street. The motion was seconded by Commis- sioner Grammer; and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill Yes Young Yes Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes City Manager Salvino stated that he also spoke to Mr. Davidson about Old Dixie. Mr. Philpott said that we can, as a temporary measure for the next 5 or 10 years, maybe longer, get by with some french drains. Mr: Davidson said it was possible to, do this. He recom- mended that the City get some rights of ways going East, for old Dixie and other roads, for drainage to the swamp areas. Commissioner Young stated that the State Road Department has given us about 7 or 8 different plans on that in the last 2 or 3 years; they wanted 4 lanes, then they wanted 2 lanes, then they wanted 4 lanes, then 2 lanes with a third lane for a cutoff. At their request, we passed a resolution a while back saying,that we would accept that for the time being. But if need be, and if the ,facilities are available a little later on, he would much prefer to add two lanes on to it than to have nothing done for another year. He further stated that there was no reason why that road should be torn up during the tourist sea- son, and he thought that we owe the people a courtesy to be sure not to start it until after the tourist season. A motion was made by Commissioner Young to go ahead on the Engineer's recommendation on Old Dixie Highway drainage. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hill, and the roll being called, the.

Commissioner Grammer stated that they were saving money on the drainage of Old Dixie Highway, so there was plenty of money in the budget.
