The City Commission of the City of Dania, Florida, met in Special Session in the Commission Room at the City Hall. Present were: MAYOR-COMMISSIONER FRANK SALVINO COMMISSIONERS ROBERT GRAMMER VERA HILL S. ELLIS YOUNG CARL ZENOBIA CITY ATTORNEY CLAM WALDEN • CITY MANAGER TONY SALVINO BUILDING INSPECT0R CHARLES LINDEMAN CHIEF OF POLICE MONTIE SMITH CITY CLERK MARY THORNHILL The meeting was called to order at, 7:00 P.M. by Mayor Salvino. 1. Resolution: Authorizing Tony Salvino to sign checks and documents. A motion was made by Commissioner Grammer to pass a resolution authorizing City Manager Tony Salvino to sign checks and docu- ments. 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 2. Appoint: 1. Assistant Judge A motion was made by Commissioner Zenobia to authorize the City Attorney to draw up a resolution to appoint a judge pro tem, Herbert Moriarty. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Gram- City Attorney Walden advised that the charter, in respect to the Judge and any assistant Judge, provides that those offices will be filled by local residents who are registered, and he didn't think that the appointee resides in Dania. I do think, though, since the Judge Pro Tem is a temporary post, the definition being to serve in a sort of emergency situation when the regular judge is not here. He will not be serving year-around. Several times we have asked out-of-town lawyers to come up and sit in as judge. Commissioner Hill: I would like to make a comment at this time. . . I think that Commissioner Young has done a good job in the past. But apparently, the Commission does not wish him to serve any more. This being the case, we do have a young man in town that I would very much like to see given a chance to do this, that is Clayton Wilkes. I think that if we are going to take this position away , from Commissioner Young, I feel like we should favor our own people at home before we go outside of the City. I would very much like for you Commissioners to reconsider and offer this position to our home-town gentleman who I think you know who I am tanking about, Mr. Clayton Wilkes. Commissioner Zenobia:_ I know who you are talking about Commissioner, in fact, I put his name up here one time and we had quite a squabble over it. And I dontt believ0 he wants it now. That is why I am putting up this name, because we had quite a squabble back in Novem- ber over his name. -1- �j:: ® Commissioner Young stated that he also felt that the position should be offered to a local person. Commissioner Grammer asked if either Commissioner Young or Com- missioner Hill had approached Mr. Wilkes and asked if he would be interested. • Commissioner Hill stated that she hadn't spoken with the man, ' because she felt she should discuss it with the Commissioners first. The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: • Grammer Yes Hill Commissioner Hill: Well I am going to vote yes for the gentleman because I have nothing against him, but I would still like to see Mr. Wilkes given some consideration. • Young . Commissioner Young: I believe I will be forced to vote No, and that certainly is not.a vote against the gentleman, it is a vote as to the actual legality of the appointment, whether it be Assistant Judge or Judge Pro Tem. ,If you call a rose by any other name, it is still a rose. That is the reason I vote No. • Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes Motion carried. 3. Civil Service Board A motion was made by Commissioner Zenobia zo appoint a Civil Service Board to set up a Civil Service Program, now that. it has gone through Tallahassee allowing us to have one; to be a five-man board, ,with each Commissioner putting up a name to be voted on by all five Commissioners._ The motion was seconded • by Commissioner Hill. City Attorney Walden stated that the Legislative Session amended the charter by providing that the City, by ordinance, could set up a Civil Service Program. It is advisable and proper that you have some sort of advisory board. . You would have the ordinance first, and the official board will come later, so what you are doing tonight is simply authorizing some advisory board to work on the ordinance. Commissioner Zenobia restated his motion to: • Appoint a five-man advisory board to draw up a plan for the Com- missioners to gyyeofinal approval to. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hill, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill Yes Young Yes Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes The nominations and voting were as follows: • 1. Commissioner Grammer nominated Dan Foley. The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill Yes Young Yes Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes ® 2.

The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: • Grammer Yes Hill Yes Young Yes Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes • 5: Mayor Salvino nominated Robert Dubow. The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill Yes Young Yes Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes 3. Resolution: Accepting Sewer Easement from Tommy Sessa. Luther Sparkman stated that this had to do with an easement that is down on S.E. 2nd Avenue, that is included in the over-all change order covering Olsen Jr. High right-of-way, 'Dania Elementary, and this. -There is a hedge up there ohiwhich they could come to no conclusion. The cost was investigated, either to replace it or save • it. It was recommended by a landscaper to put new ones in. The estimated cost was $490.00. The hedge he now has are from.3 feet to 6 feet, and they are not sure they could save any of them. A motion was made by Commissioner Zenobia to pay Tommy Sessa $500 for the piece of right-of-way and the hedge; the hedge will then belong to the city and can be taken out and trans- planted. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Young. Commissioner Hill suggested that they use the hedges in the Colored Cemetery. She asked, "Wouldn't you, Commissioner Grammer?" Commissioner Grammer: Not all of them. . .no. Commissioner Hill: Wouldn't you, Commissioner Zenobia? Commissioner Zenobia: I would say that is up to the City Manager. He knows best where to put them. Commissioner Young: Now this is'the -only cost that the City is to have on this particular deed; and I .assume we are to receive a deed. • • • ® City Attorney Walden: You will have some miscellaneous recording fees and that sort of thing. The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes • Hill Yes Young Yes Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes Commissioner Hill asked Mayor Salvino how he was getting along • with the Grand Jury Investigation, "following through with it?" Mayor Salvino replied yes. Commissioner Zenobia stated that, at the last meeting, Mr. Houston wanted to know about the loth Street crossing, to' which Mr. Zenobia • replied he would look it up the next day. "The contract with the FEC and the County said $9,000 to be spent on it. Our part of it was a bid price of $2s611, That was the part that we had to do according to the contract that was written up." • Mr. Houston stated that heanever knew there was a contract written up stating $9,000. Commissioner Zenobia: Well, it has the estimated cost of $9,000. Mr. Houston: Thatts the estimated cost. • Commissioner Zenobia: Well we put our part out for bid, as stated in here, and it came out to $2,611. Mr. Houston again asked what was the entire cost, and how did they know the City paid 1/3 of the cost. Mr. Houston continued to • question it further, and Commissioner Zenobia turned it over to the City Manager to check into further. Mayor Salvino asked City Manager Salvino what they were going to do With the propane gas. • City Manager Salvino answered that the first thing he checked into when he started work on Monday was the propane gas tank's::being brought into City property. He checked, with three Commissioners who were available at the time, and none knew anything about it. So he had the installation stopped at the time, until he could find out more about it. He checked into it, in the meantime, with Fred • Flanders, purchasing agent, ,who,has had experience with .this, and he had some good reports on propane gas and some bad reports on it. He stated that Fred Flanders told him that the purchasing agents around the State had gone into it in a big way, they were all sold a dill of goods, but .all of a sudden it came to a halt because, evidently, it hadntt done the work that gasoline does to a motor. He stated further that if the City Commission wants him to check into it a little more, he will and make a recommendation Monday night; or if they want a recommendation tonight, I recommend that we stop and go back to regular gasoline. Commissioner Hill suggested that the City Manager set up a conference • with the Gas Engineers. City Manager Salvino stated that he would like to talk to him, and he would like to have the whole Commission talk to him too. City Manager Salvino stated further that he understood the City 0 Commission the purchase of Automatic Voting Machines, of which there are none in Broward County. They are using Shoup Machines, and there doesn?t seem to be anybody in Broward County who is able -4- ® to fix one unless you send somebody to school to teach them. So they are not the best bid (the Automatic) . So before you issue your purchase order, I would like to discuss it at length, and I would like the Commission to decide whether they want to buy the automatic or the Shoup, or readvertise, or whatever they want to do. • City Manager Salvino went on to point out the difference between the two machines, and the advantages of the Shoup machine. City Attorney Walden suggested that, since the Commission had already` authorized the purchase of the Automatic Machines, they • ought to make a motion that that action be tabled until further study. A motion was made by Commissioner Grammer to table the action that was taken on the machines until the City Manager can come up with more literature on the machines. The motion was seconded by Com- missioner Zenobia, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill Yes Young Yes Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes City Attorney Walden: Mr. Mayor, just as ajpersonal note, last week, after completing 10 years of service as City Attorney, Saturday night I was very greatly honored and surprised. I was invited to a local restaurant for dinner, and I. found all the Commissioners, Chief of Police and Fire Chief, along with Mrs. Thornhill who was also guest of honor. . .if that is what we were Mary. . . And I was given a ,plaque, and I would like to openly and publicly express my appreciation, and also to thank you. It has been an honor to work with' the City these,10 years. Again • I want to express my compliments to Mrs. Thornhill. When I started here she was the City Clerk, and she has made- by job much easier these ten years. So I would like to go. on record as thanking her openly in public. Mary Thornhill, City Clerk: Thank you, Mr. Walden. And I would like to join Mr. Walden in expressing my appreciation for the plaque I received also. City Manager Salvino: Mr. Chairman, I would like. to make a state- ment. I appreciate the confindence that has been placed in me, And I promise you one thing. . .I hold no grudges, I will try to serve the five commissioners equally, I will try to serve the taxpayers on equal basis, and I want to notify everybody in the audience and everybody that is not here, that my office will be open for your inspection or just to listen to your problems. I am here to try to work out the problems of the taxpayers of Dania, and I hope they get their money?,s worth. I will do the work to the best of my ability. I have known 0 , Dania for so many years, I think I can do a good job. If there is some time that I feel that I haven't done a good ,job, I will know, myself whether I can handle it or not. I have confidence in myself that I can handle it, and any time that I feel that I cannot handle it, I will resign. But I think I can handle it, and I would like to have the co-operation of the public. I will serve the public to the . best of my ability, and I want to thank the board here for the confi- dence placed in me. There being no further business on the agenda, the meeting adjourned. • ' Frank Salvino Mary ornhill Mayor-Commissioner -5- City lerk-Auditor CITY OF DANIA Dania, Florida DISBURSEMENTS ® June, 1965 General Fund Clarke Walden 422.99 S.
