Ordinance: Requiring all City Employees and Candidates for the City Commission to be photographed and fingerprinted. (Third Reading)" . 0 ORDINANCE stating and setting forth the qualifications requiring that all persons including department heads employed by the City of .Dania, Florida, and providing that City Commissioners and candidates for the office of City-Commission. may voluntarily submit their fingerprints and have in effect shown as a result of such submission at a regular meeting of the City Commission and provid- ing that all ordinances or parts of ordinances in con- fliCt herewith be repealed to the extent of such conflict. A motion was made by Commissioner Zenobia that the ordinance be passed on third and final reading. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hill. Commissioner Young: I have one point I would like to bring up..' I believe somewhere in there it states that if a person has been convicted of an alcoholic infringement, and there were a couple other things, then there was dealing in narcotics, that they O wouldn't be able to be employed or run for office for 5 years. However, in another part, it says that anyone convicted of a felony would have a 15 year limitation. I am probably mistaken on this, but I was under the impression that a conviction in the narcotics traffic was a felony. City Attorney Walden stated that in the State of Florida a felony is simply one that is punishable by confinement in State Prison, and that this was simply possession of narcotics without trying to sell them. 11If you question the interpretation, that would be my interpretation." -1- • 0 0 ® Commissioner Young: It just seems to me that we ought to have one limitation to apply to them both. City Attorney Walden: Alright, then you can make a motion to amend it. • A motion was made by Commissioner Young to amend it to read 15 years on all counts. Commissioner Zenobia: I think we pay our City Attorney to draw it up, and, I am satisfied with the way he drew it up myself. • Commissioner Young: Alright, then I will withdraw my motion to amend.

Report from City Manager: City Manager Culverson read a letter. as follows: "Enclosed herewith is a draft of the proposed letter to be sent to members of the Civil Service Advisory Board. /s/ Clarke Walden Dear You were appointed as an initial member of the Civil Service Advisory Board by the City Commission of the City of Dania, Florida. The Civil Service Advisory Board has conducted various hear- ings and has made investigations of various Civil Service plans followed by other municipalities. As a result of the investigations and hearings, the Board has filed its recom- mendations with the City Commission of City of Dania, Florida. -6- ® The recommendations of the Civil Service Board have been of great value to the City Commission in connection with its study of the feasibility of civil service for the City. The City Commission is aware of your individual. efforts on the Board and desires to express its appreciation to you for your excel- lent citizenship in serving on the Board. This letter was authorized by a resolution of .the City Commis- sion adopted on , 1965. On behalf of the Com- mission, we express our sincere thanks for the outstanding ser- vice you have rendered to the City by serving on the Civil Ser- vice Advisory Board. /s/ Respectfully yours, City of Dania, Florida " City Manager Culverson read a letter as follows: "Mr. L. E. Culverson: Enclosed herewith is invoice #2 for my services as right-of- way agent for the City of Dania in connection with the sewer system in accordance with' resolution #1673. The breaR-down of expenditures to ,date and the balance on:hand in my trust account is as follows: Original deposit +$ 10,000.00 Lift Pump Site "G" -$ 3,500.00 Lift Pump Site "M" 4,500.00 Right-of-way (Salvino) 1,500.00 TOTAL EXPENDITURES = 9,500.00 BALANCE ON HAND MAY 7, 1965 = 500 .00 You may consider having another requisition issued to Luther Sparkman Trust Account in-view of the fact that it may be nec- essary to purchase certain other easements and .to pay for shiubery and so forth that may have to be replaced or removed.

'!'I 35 hours - $10.00 per hour: $, 350.00 " /s/ Luther Sparkman " City Manager Culverson recommended that the Commission put $5,000.00 into the contingency fund (trust fund) . City Manager Culverson also recommended that Mr. Sparkman be paid the $350.00 as Right-of-Way Agent.' A motion was made by Commissioner Grammer to accept the City Manager's A recommendations. 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 City Manager Culverson read a letter as follows: "Dear Lester: On March 15, 1965, I addressed a letter. to the Commissioners concerning various proposed Charter Changes. .Copies of the letter were distributed to the audience atdone of the meetings, and I recall reading the letter. In the letter I expressed an opinion that no charter change was necessary to authorize absentee Voting. Commissioner Young telephoned me on May 4, 1965 to re- quest that I give another written opinion on the subject. He did not recall receiving a copy of my letter on March 15. In accordance with the request of Commissioner Young I advise that section 15, Article 2, Part 6 of the Charter of the City provides: SECTION 15, GENERAL LAWS TO APPLY: All elections shall be A conducted except as otherwise specifically provided under this charter under rules and conditions described under the ;:..' general election laws of the State. The general election laws of the State are found in Title 19 of the Florida Statutes, Entitled Electors and Elections, and includes -7- m Chapters 97 to 107 inclusive of the Statutes. Provi- sions concerning Absentee Voting are found in Chapters 101.61 to 101.70 inclusive. Chapter 101.70 Florida Statutes provides: Any governmental agency or political subdivision may adopt any provisions of the Absentee Voting laws. • Any municipality, school district, or any other govern- mental agency or political subdivision made by resolu- tion or ordinance adopt this law as means for providing for absentee voting in any authorized election in such event the word City Clerk or other appropriate official inserted wherever the work Supervisor appears. In sub- stance, the Charter of the City provides that the General Election laws of the state shall apply, except as other- wise provided in the Charter. The Charter does not set forth Absentee Voting procedures and accordingly author- ity of the City to have absentee voting must be deter- mined by General Election laws. The general election • law specifically authorizes absentee voting. Further, the General Election laws authorizes the Muni- cipality to adopt the absentee voting laws by either ordinance or resolution. In conclusion it is my opinion that the City Commission may adopt a general absentee voting law of the State by either • ordinance or resolution. In view of the distinction in our Charter between ordinance or resolution I recommend that any adoption of the absentee voting laws be done by ordinance rather than resolution. The general laws concerning absentee voting do provide for forms concerning applications for absentee registration, types • of envelopes and ballots, and so forth. Therefore, practically speaking, I suggest that the Commission consider the estimated cost of the forms in relationship to the estimated number of absentee voters. Of course, as a matter of policy, in view of the fact that this is a formal opinion intended for the Commis- sion, please read this letter at the next meeting of the Commis- sion so that it's contents may appear in the minutes. I am taking the liberty of sending a copy of this letter to Mr. Young along with a photo-copy of my earlier letter of March 15, where the subject is covered on page 4. Respectfully yours, Clarke Walden " • Commissioner Young: There is just one thing that had me puzzled for quite some time, we have one brief sentence in the Charter that spe- cifically states that no absentee voting shall be allowed. That is the reason that I wanted a formal opinion, that the State Voting Law would supercede the provision in our Charter. City Manager Culverson read a letter as follows: u' "City Manager, City Commission, City of Dania, Florida: Gentlemen: Per your request we are happy to make a recommendation on the purchase of a bookkeeping machine for the water depart- ment to do water billing and other accounting work. After careful stydy of both machines as presently in the office now, it is our opinion that Burrough's Machine would better meet the needs of the City at this time. Reason for our decision is as follows: The machine could be used as a stand-by machine for the one presently owned, as all work performed on the present machine, with the exception of writing checks and making monthly reports, could be done on Y" the proposed machine.. With 'interchgngeability of work, the work load could be spread evenly if the need required. If at any time the bookkeeping in the City water department is desired to be separated from the City it could,be done with this machine. No changes in the present water billing procedure in bills need be made, only ledger cards need be L; ® purchased. Sewer assessment bills and record keeping could be accomplished on the proposed machine. Journal ledger cards and back-up sheets would be standard. We were happy to be of service to you. Very tryl.y yours, Rodgers & Price " • City Manager Culverson recommended(:that the City Commission purchase the Burrough's Machine. Commissioner Grammer objected to the above letter for the fact that the City was in the process of receiving proposals from another Accounting firm, and therefore he didn't feel that Rodgers & Price • should submit a recommendation. Jack Galloway, representative of Burrough's Corporation stated that the recommendation of Rodgers & Price was ari independent recommenda- tion, and that the Burrough's Corporation was connected in no way with either Rodgers & Price or Lindfor's Waite. City Manager Culverson stated that if the Commission sees fit to purchase the machine, he further recommends that the City buy it on a Rental Purchase Plan, since the City didn't have any provisions in this year's budget for it, and it could be rented until such provis- ions could be made in the new budget. • A motion was made by Commissioner Hill to purchase the Burrough's Machine on the Rental Purchase Basis. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Young. Mr. Bob Houston asked if the machine was being purchased for billing • sewers. When the Commission replied yes, Mr. Houston then suggested that the machine should be paid for out of the Sewer Fund. Commissioner Hill answered that the machine was also going to be used for water billing. • City Manager Culverson answered that we are going to try to charge it to the Sewer Fund if the City Attorney says it is permissible. City Attorney Walden answered that if it is used only for sewer work, then it would be all charged 'to the Sewer Fund; if_5%. of it was used, then 5% would be charged to the Sewer Fund; if 50% of it is going to • be used for general work, then 50% should.come out of the General Fund and 50% out of the Sewer'Fund. ` City Clerk Thornhill stated that the machine would not be used for general work at all,' that it would be' used for Water Billing and Sewer Billing. She asked .if it,shouldn't. then be charged to the Water Fund. Commissioner Young stated that it should be evaluated as to how much is needed for the Water Fund, how much:for the Sewer Fund, and how much , the machine would be used in a stand-by capacity for general operations. And it could then be charged in ratio to each account. Mr. Houston stated it should be decided where it was going to be charged before the budget is decided. Commissioner Young stated that it wasrrAt necessary. A motion was made by Commissioner Zenobia that the discussion be • closed. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hill, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill Yes 3� Young Yes • Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes _ N p Reverting back to the motion to purchase the Burrough's Machine on a Rental Purchase Basis, the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill "Yes Young Yes Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes City Manager Culverson read a letter as follows: Dear Mr. Culverson: This will confirm my telephone conversation of May 11, 1965, that can be considered a formal request for in- stallation of a separate meter on the line to our entire yard sprinkler system. We would prefer to continue using City water so as to avoid the unsightly stain caused by well water, but we do not feel that the monthly sewer charge should be made on water used for this purpose. In our opinion, the granting of the above request would be an economically sound move for the City since the conservative estimate of our water usage for yard sprink- ling is $50.00 per month. We would sincerely appreciate your consideration. Yours very truly, F. R. Warnhoff, Monte Operating Co. " City Manager Culverson read a letter as follows: 0 PDear Mr. Farina: Persuant to our telephone conversation of this -afternoon, enclosed please find .an excerpt of the minutes of May 6 Board meeting pertaining to Dania Elementary School and Olsen Jr. High School. These minutes will not be formally approved by the board until the meeting on May 20, 1965. It is my understanding with you that at that time I will request the board,:to amend the minutes as they relate to Olsen Jr. High School to clearly state that the 24 foot right-of-way 350 foot long, although intended for street right-of-way, was clearly granted with the permission and authority of the City of Dania to .use a portion thereof for the installation of the sewer line in question. I would think the City has the right by virtue of the 24 foot right-of-way for street purposes. However, I will as aforesaid'..ask the Board to clearly set this forth -by an amendment to the minutes before formal passage. Trusting this will permit you to discuss the matter with the City of Dania at its next meeting I remain, Very truly yours, Donald L. Holmes, Attorney for the Board " City Manager Culverson: This is in conjunction with the change orders on Olsen Jr. High School, Elementary School, and at the same time we have them working on Johnny Sessa's property, from 100 to 150 feet on 4th Avenue, and a portion over by the Catholic Church where they are putting them in the alleys. They were taken out of the streets and put in the alleys. It was passed by this Commission, but we have never formally had a change order on it, so I incorporated that in there. I would like the Council, if they will, to instruct me to have our City Engineers, I mean the project Engineer on our Sewer Program, proceed with these change-.,,orders to be presented as quickly as possible at the next City Commission meeting. Mayor Salvino: Do we need a motion on that? City Attorney Walden: I don't think so. Just tell them to go ahead. -10- ® City Manager Culverson read a letter as follows: "Dear Sir: Would you please reduce our bond from $12,000 to $6,000 in Dania, 80%. of our work is complete. Balance of work, one alley and water line on Stirling Road. /s/ Don Nelson " City Manager Culverson: The gentleman wants his bond reduced. The Commission gave him a $12,000 -bond until the work was completed. I don't think the bond should be reduced until the work is complete. I recommend that the bond stay the same. Commissioner Grammer: I think we should take the City Manager's recommendation on this. They put the bond up to do a certain thing. If they haven't completed the agreement yet,'I think the bond should hold to what was originally put up. Commissioner Hill: I second the motion. Commissioner Young: I don't think we even need a motion on it. City Attorney Walden: No. City Manager Culverson read a letter as follows: "Dear Lester: With reference to your letter of May 5, I have prepared a formal resolution authorizing the execution of Housing and Home Finance Agency form CFA-1901, assurance of Compliance. An original and one copy of such form of resolution is en- closed along with the correspondence you:�forewarded me. Please present the resolution to the Commission. for adoption on Monday night. /s/ Clarke Walden, " A RESOLUTION authorizing the proper officials City of Dania, Florida, to execute Housing & Home Finance Agency form CFA- 1901, assurance of compliance, and repealing all resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict herewith, and providing that this resolution shall become effective upon its date of passage and adoption. A motion was made by Commissioner Young to adopt the resolution. The motion 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 City Manager Culverson read a letter as follows: "Mr. Lester Culverson: Regarding well water facilities at Dania Water Plant. In accordance with your request we have investigated the ex= isting facilities for well water at the City of Dania Water Treatment Plant. Our findings and recommendations are as follows: The Water Plant presently has a rated capacity of 2100igal- lons per minute, including the new addition. However, the plant can only treat an amount of water equal to the total capacity of two existing wells and pumps. At the present time this rate is 1700 gallons per minute with both pumps operating continuously. In normal periods or rainy or wet weathers, the plant can meet the demands with one well, for, the better part of the time, .and have the second well re- w' � -11- • 0 0 ® served for peak periods. As is typical of any dry spell, water demands of the system increase over demands of wet or normal periods. As an example record spray for 1965 show a total amount of water treated as 39,155,000 gal- lons, or an average of 1,305,000 gallons per day, or 905 gallons per minute: On the peak day of April, the water demand was 1,600,000 gallons, or 1,110 gallons per minute. With only one well pump operating the capacity of the raw water supply is 1,370,00 gallons per day, or 950 gallons per minute more or less. As may be noted from the above, if'a failure should occur during a dry period, as described above, the plant might not be capable of producing in order to meet the demands of the system. In order to insure an adequate supply of raw water to the Treatment Plant, we recommend the installation of a third well and pump at the Plant site. Then in the event of failure of any one of the wells or well pumps, the remaining new source of .supply could meet any immediate need of the system. If a new well is constructed it should be located as far as possible from the existing well, to keep from lowering the water table of any one well any more than necessary. Also the new well should be located as far away as possible from O the drainage canal west of the trash site to minimize the effects of the salt water intrusion to the existing well field. The only site which satisfies both of the above conditions is the SE part of the Plant site. We also recommend that if a new well be constructed, it should be equipped with an auxiliary drive for use during periods of electric power failures similar to the existing two well pumps. The condition of the gasoline operated auxiliary drive en- gine located in pump house #2 is such that it will require major repairs if it is to be used for any length of time. Since it is of old vintage, and parts are hard to find, we recommend installation of a new auxiliary drive for pump house #2;for purpose of standardization any new auxiliary engine should be of the same manufacture. Enclosed is a cost estimate of installation of a new 12 inch diameter well and well pump, auxiliary drive for new well pump, and exist- ing well pump #21 a new pump house and pipe and fittings. We estimate the cost of this construction to be approximately $11,605.00. If there is any question regarding the above, please do not hesitate to call us. /s/ Broome 6 Farina Mr. Bill Brooks stated that We have a well in the corner of the yard, wouldn't it be feasible to pump the watet, over to the plant? City Manager Culverson answered that it ,was merely a letter that he was reading to the Commission, it. was up for no action. And he thought Mr. Brook's idea was a sound one. Commissioner Grammer felt that they should look into the salt intrusion. Mr. Houston stated that he advised the Commission about six months ago that they had one well shut down because of salt intrusion. 13. Voting machines. 4 City Manager Culverson stated that he and City Clerk Mary Thornhill found out that the machines are $2,000 'each. A motion was made by Commissioner Zenobia to instruct the City Manager to advertise for bids for seven voting machines, bids to be received by June 21, 1965, at 8:05 P.M. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hill, and the roll being called, the Commissioners, voted as follows: . 12- ,. r.; Grammer Yes Hill Yes Young Yes Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes • 14. Correspondence.. None. Mr. Bill Brook stated that he lives in "Dust Canyon" . He is com- plaining about all the dust and all the streets in town being torn • up. He stated that he wanted this thing taken care of in some way, shape or manner. Mr. Gene Pellicia stated that he agreed with Mr. Brooks. Something should be done. He suggested that the contractor not get another nickel until he starts paving. • Mr. Houston and Mr. Brooks requested that Mr. Philpott be at the next meeting. Mr. Brooks again stated that the trenches were being filled with pure muck, and that he has pictures to prove it. • Mayor Salvino stated that Mr. Philpott will be at the next meeting. Commissioner Grammer, referring to change order #1, putting the sewers back in the alleys on S.W. 8th Street & S.W. 9th Street, from S.W. 2nd Avenue to S.W. 4th Avenue. He checked with the City Manager and he , • has not found this change order. It is in the minutes of the meeting, but the change order is not in .the City Manager's office. He suggested that the Engineer draw up this change order and present it to the Com- mission. Commissioner Young stated that he thought the Engineer could go ahead • with it, since it was already in the minutes, and that he be instructed to prepare it. Commissioner Grammer stated that, going back to the sewers, He checked one place in the city, and saw muck going into the hole, and asked the foreman on the job if he knew what kind of dirt that was. He told Mr. Grammer that he didn't have to answer, that he had a boss that he answered to and that he shouldn't have to answer to Mr. Grammer. He. went on to say that the contractor said that any anything went wrong to call him. Mr. Grammer got in touch with Mr. Culverson, who in turn got in ,touch with the contractor. The contractor did come up and Mr. Philpott also. , Mr. Philpott admitted. that there was muck in the hole, but he could not make the contractor take it out. They admit it is in there, but they cannot make them take it out. . .this he could not understand. Mr. Grammer stated that Mr. Philpott said that if he (Mr. Philpott) made them dig up the ditch and the ditch caved in, the City would be liable. Commissioner Zenobia stated that Mr. Philpott did say that, and he asked Mr. Walden if this is so, can the City be sued if they make them take it out. City Attorney Walden stated that he didn't know, it is the first he has heard of it. Commissioner Zenobia asked Mr. Walden if he could give the Commission an answer at the next meeting. Mr. Culverson stated that he thought that they could have a density test taken, if the density test proved that it met specifications, he would not instruct them to take it out. If it did not meet speci- fications, Mr. Philpott told Mr. Culverson, then he could make them take it out. +S -13- O City Attorney Walden stated if Mr. Philpott tells any of the Commis- sioners if the man does not fulfill his contract there.-is nothing we can do, then Philpott is wrong. The question is, is the contractor meeting the specifications. Bill Brooks asked if he could put up a deposit for a set of speci- fications. He stated that he would bring them back in good shape. He felt that they were public property, and he was allowed to use them. Commissioner Zenobia felt that since builders were allowed to have them to bid on them with just a deposit, then a citizen should be O allowed to have them also. Mayor Salvino stated that he thought there was a copy in the City Hall, if not, they would get a copy from Mr. Philpott, and we ought to have them in a day or two. • A motion was made by Commissioner Hill to instruct the City Manager to draw up specifications to put the Fishing Pier and Bait and Tackle Shop out for bid again; bids to be received by June 21, 1965, at 8:30 P.M. The motion 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 • Commissioner Zenobia stated that there has been a lot of talk about the sewer job being done wrong, and about muck being put in the holes. He advised that everyplace that he heard of where there was muck, he was having a special core test done. He said they would have the re- salts of the test tomorrow, and then they will know once and for all. • Commissioner Zenobia stated that some time ago he made a motion and it passed unanimously to hire a sewer inspector. He wanted to know if this had been done yet. City Manager Culverson stated that he knew of one person who indicated interest in the job. . He asked if the Commission would like to set a salary so that he could inform the interested party. Commissioner Zenobia stated that there was $6,000 annual salary put in the budget for it. Commissioner Grammer suggested that they hire an inspector for $6,000 a year, because if the man. is qualified for the job, he is entitled to that salary. There being no further business on the agenda, the meeting adjourned. . � t Mary ornhill City lerk, Auditor Fra1 k Salvino Mayor Commissioner • -14- L 1 t E I • 0 CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA Disbursements • April, 1965 General Fund • Florida Power & Light Co. 2 ,457.04 Provident Life & Accident Insurance Co 293.00 State of Florida, Florida Revenue Commission 163.11 Jas.
