Ft. Laud. Fla. t,
s: City Attorney Walden: Let me say this, several years ago the City
of Dania passed a very lengthy Taxi-Cab Ordinance, I believe it was,
and after the City passed this ordinance setting forth a number of
detailed regulations that operators must comply with, I think it was
found that Dania wasn't big enough for tnat kind of ordinance. So
in recent years, to my knowledge, the city has simply informally
issued these permits. Their main concern, being the insuran
age. So I just tell you that we have not followed this ordice cover
nance
:ter+
which was passed 7 or 8 years ago. We have simply given permits
• if you are satisfied with the insurance companies.
A motion was made by Commissioner Young to refer both items above
s to Chief of Police for finger printing and report. 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
4. Discussion of specifications for garbage contract.
The specifications for garbage contracts was read by City Manager
Culverson.
Commissioner Young voiced his disapproval of this matter, giving
as an example the fact that during the last seven months, from
September 1st through March, that the total paid for, which in-
cludes labor, repairs, and various other expenses, the sum of
$22,885.18. If this was broken down per year on a unit basis,
using 2500 water meters as the unit basis, it comes to $15.69
per unit. In view of that, he stated that he did not feel that
there was anything useful to be obtained for the taxpayers to
continue the matter any further.
A motion was made by Commissioner Young that the matter be dropped.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hill,
Commissioner Grammer stated that since they went to all the trouble
to have specs drawn up that he would still like to get a price on
it, and maybe go to the County Incinerator to see how much it would
cost to go to the incinerator, since we already know how much it
costs to go to Curcie's dump. So that the city would at least have
some figures to go on.
Commissioner Zenobia agreed'w.ith Commissioner Grammer, that they
had investigated it quite a long time, and that the budget this
year contained $48,600 and there is $25,000 left. He felt that
the city may possibly get the'24arbage hauled away that cheap, but
they will never know. He also felt that they should try.the County
Incinerators:
The roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows:
Grammer No.
Hill Yes
Young Yes
Zenobia No
Salvino Yes
