Consider Water Agreement with Dania Marine & Ship Repair, Inc. , to furnish water. to Port Laudania. • Attorney Walden: At the last meeting, Mr. Mayor, this came up and was referred to me to determine one or two things., (1) The City does have the..necessary easement to get the water to the South bank of the Canal. So, I would like a resolution passed and adopted authorizing an agreement with Dania Marine & Ship Repair, Inc. , which would provide, among other things , the City at its own expense would furnish the line terminating at the South bank of thb canal. And the Dania Marine &Ship Repair, Inc. , wouldppay the. regular rate, plus a premium of 25% of the rate for any water service furnished to it. (2) That it (Dania Marine & Ship Repair) would have the obligation of getting the water line across the canal, that would go under the canal as I understand ,it. Also, it has been requested by the Telephone Company that it would be. allowed to use the easement. So if that. is what the Commission wants, if you will pass the resolution,. I will then have the agreement executed. A motion was made by Commissioner Young to adopt and pass a resolution allowing the city to run water lines to the South side of the Dania Cut off canal, for the purpose of providing water to Dania Marine & Ship Repair, Inc. , .Port Laudania.

Robert Hunt: Request permit to take and sell telescopic pictures at Dania Beach. Robert Hunt: Last week you told me I wabld have to get permis- sion from the two gentlemen who already have the rights on the beach. Mr. Rhodes gave me permission. And my Attorney called Mr. Weston, who represents the Marinarium tenant, and Mr. Weston called Mr. Walden. He has no objections. Commissioner Grammer: You won't take anybody's picture unless • you ask permission first? Robert Hunt: That's right. Attorney Walden: Since neither of the tenants out there care, actually it is up to the city to present his license to him now. • I don't know what category you want to put him in. Mary Thornhill: I think photographers calls for a $15.00 license. A motion was made by Commissioner Grammer to permit Mr. Hunt to operate with the stipulations that Mr. Rhodes will submit a letter stating that he is in favor of it, that Mr. Hunt will take no pic- tures without permission, and that the.

Robert LaCroix, representing the Dania Optimist Club. Robert LaCroix: The Dania Optimist Club has asked me to request permission of the Commission to hold a Dania Optimist Fun Week sometime in the latter part of January or early part of February. There will be no amusements on Sunday. Ittwould run ten days. We would like to have it on the City of Dania property behind the Chamber of Commerce. And we would like the Commission to waive- the license fee. We would not sign a contract with anyone unless • the Commission approves it first. It would be childrens rides, adult rides, and concessions, approved by the Commission. Each ride and each booth will be outlined in detail so* that the Commis- sion could rule on what they would allow and what they would not allow. • Commissioner Young: You are not contemplating anything likc pitching pennies or anything like that are you? Robert LaCroix: No, there will be no gambling. . Only food con- cessions , hot dogs, soft drinks,, and rides.. We wouldn't sign any contract until the Commission has approved it, read it, and stricken from it anything that would be undesirable. We will have each booth outlined in detail as to what it is, prices to be charged, eto. Commissioner Hill: Do you have insurance? Robert LaCroix: We will demand a bond. We have two or three proq positions in mind, but we haven't signed any contracts. We would like to look them all over and investigate each one thoroughly,. and then present all three of them, or the one that we thought was best to the Commission for their approval. Commissioner Young: That will be for approximately ten days? • Robert LaCroix: Two Fridays, two Saturdays, no Sundays, and it would run during the week if that is alright with the Commission. We want to do what is right. We want to get a nice proposition, doing some- thing that we could be proud of and something that we could do each year. The Optimist Club certainly doesn't want to bring in anything to Dania and lend their name to anything that would bring disrepute on the City. Commissioner Young: Do you hhve any contracts or offers available? Robert LaCroix: No we don't, but we can make them available to you next Monday. A motion was made by Commissioner Zenobia to hand this over to the Police Committee to work it out with the Optimist Club. 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 8. Attorney Walden: Resolutions regarding validation of Sewer Revenue Bonds. Attorney Walden: I understand that the delivery of the bonds is scheduled for Wednesday in Chicago. The bonds will be signed there and transported to Dania. It is necessary that you name a bank as a trustee or depository as you call them. And without any formal authorization, I assumed you wanted the Dania Bank, but you can name any bank. RESOLUTION NO. 1624 RESOLUTION No. 1624, with respect to $2,250,000, City of Dania, Broward County, Florida, Sewer Revenue Bonds , pro- viding for the appointment of a trustee bank as trustee and depository of any money received by the City; ,persuant to Resolution No. 1613, particularly Sec. 8 and Paragraph 2, for approval and execution of appropriate trust agree- ment or agreements between the City and Trustee Bank, bet- ting. forth among other things the dues, responsibility and compensation of trustee, all in accordance with and persu- ant to the provisions of said Resolution No. 1613. Attorney Walden: If you adopt the resolution you will authorize the execution of the trust agreement with the Dania Bank. Commissioner Young: Who has the right to invest these monies in government securities? Attorney Walden: The trustee has the right if it is within the limits of the limited type of governmental obligations you will have. Commissioner Young: Do we have the right to counsel or recommend? Attorney Walden: I think you have that right. I don't know if you have the right to absolutely direct the trustee as to what to do, but you certainly have the right to make recommendations. A motion was made .by Commissioner Grammer to adopt the resolution and trust agreement. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Zenobia. At this point a discussion arose .between Mr. Virgil Tarpley, Mr. Joseph Thornton, and Mr. Harvey Henann of Barcus, Kindred & Co. , as to whether the City Commission was going to validate the entire $2,250,000 Sewer Revenue Bonds when the cost of the sewers was not going to be that much. Mr. Tarpley stated that there would be a carry-over of roughly $1,300,000. Mr. Henann explained that there was going to be no surplus because the money in excess of the cost of the sewers would go toward the Engineering Fee, the Attorney Fee, the Rights-of-way fee and other expenses not included in the actual cost of the sewer construction.

Acting City Manager's Report. Acting City Manager Thornhill: Mr. Mayor, at the last meeting it was discussed extending this Christmas lighting another two • blocks in the City of Dania,and you authorized Chief Lassiter and I to go ahead with it. I hope all of you haven seen the lights up and down the highway. I drove through Sunday night and it looks very pretty. I would like to commend Chief Las- siter and his men for the wonderful job that they did on them. Also, you authorized a safety.device for the water tower to be �< ordered, and that was done this past week with the help of Chief Lassiter. That is all I have. Chief Lassiter: In past years we have had a rule of thumb limiting Service Stations to 12,000 gallon maximum storage, and maximum single tank of 4,000 gallons. We don't have an ordinance on that, but it'has ,been a rule .of thumb that we have been going by. Some companies have incleased"' that. We have two coming up now who want to increase their gallonage to a little hihor limit. I would like to suggest that we pass an ordinance limiting Service stations in Dania to a maximum of 15,000 gallons gasoline storage, and a maximum of 4,000 gallons tanks. With the exception that 6,000 gallons will be allowed with permission from the proper authorities. Mayor Salvino: We will refer this to the City Attorney and the Fire Chief to work it out. • • Commissioner Hill: I would like at this time to make a motion to vacate the office of the Chief of Police of the City of Dania. Attorney Walden: Mr. Mayor, so that you can proceed, I believe that you ought to call for a second to the motion. • Mayor Salvino: Is there a second to the motion? Attorney Walden: You are going to have to then declare the motion dead for lack of a second. • Mayor Salvino: I will declare the motion dead for lack of a second. There being no further business on the agenda, the meeting adjourned. • • mary6whornhill City Clerk-Auditor • • • • Frank Salvino Mayor-Commissioner i . • ti t{ Y to g': -6-
