ELLIS YOUNG CARL ZENOBIA CITY ATTORNEY CLARKE-WALDEN • CHIEF OF POLICE • MONTIE SMITH CITY CLERK MARY THORNHILL The meeting was called to' order at 8:00 P.M. by Mayor Salvino. Acting City Manager Thornhill: We have a request from Wildwood Bropical Nurseries for a payment of $1,000. , due now on the planting of the trees and shrubs on S.W. Fourth Avenue. We have paid them $21000. on October 30. There is a balance of $300. 9 which is a retainer until we see if the trees are going to live. A motion was made by Commissioner Young to accept the Adfiug • City Manager's recommendation to pay 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 Acting City Manager Thornhill: We have a request from the Flo- rida Industrial Commission about the installation of a safety device on the Water Tower. One of the men from the Industrial Commission was in the City Hall today. It seems that he had requested this some time ago and nothing had ever been done about it. This time, if something isn't done, they are going to pre- pare a case to go to Tallahassee before the Florida Industrial • Commission to force the City to install this safety device. I believe Mr. Grammer can explain itha little more because he talked to the man about it. Commissioner Grammer: I think this has been.going on about a year and a half or two years. It is a safety device for the lad- 0 der for the water tank. We can get this done for about $500.00, or a little less. I think our Fire Chief would understand this a little more than we would. A motion was made by Commissioner Grammer to turn this over to Fire Chief Lassiter. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Young, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Hill Yes Young Yes • Zenobia Yes Salvino Yes Acting City Manager Thornhill: Next I believe is the Christmas Tree Light Project of the Volunteer Fire Department. i� ' • Dire Chief Lassiter: We have two more blocks of lighting down town this year. We would like some additional Christ- mas lights and decorations fbrcthose two blocks . That is one block North and one block South where Whiteway has been extended to. Down through the years we haven't had anything • to hang them on until they put up the new Whiteway poles. We will put up the lights if you will put up. the money to buy them. The cost of the lights will run abouty$550.00, and the cost of the decorations will run about $450.00. So it will be pretty close to $1,000.00 in material. • Commissioner Young: I think we should get other bids on it. Chief Lassiter: It is too late in the year to take bids on it if you are going to do it this year. A motion was made by Commissioner Grammer to tike Chief Las- • siter's recommendation and use the separate Aids for lights. 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 Mayor Salvino called for objections on the Sewer Program. • From the Audience: I'm not an objector, I just want some in- formation. The sale of the bonds that have been authorized, dot hey include any sewage disposal plant, or do they just in- clude the sewer system itself without any plans for a sewage disposal plant? • Commissioner Grammer: They indlude three lift stations, one disposal treatment plant and the sewer job complete. From the Audience: Does that include the sewer system for the entire city? • Commissioner Grammer: No sir, just East of the Railroad track, to the South City limits, and to the Dania Cut-off Canal.
