HOLLYWOOD ATTORNEY AUGUST PAOLI
ATTORNEY LINWOOD CABOT
The purpose of this meeting is to reach- some agreement -between the
City of Hollywood and the City of Dania in regards to the annexa-
tion of the 570 acres.
Hollywood Attorney August Paoli: Gentlemen, my Commission asked me
to meet with you, and I made arrangements with Mr. Cabot and asked
him to bring some of his people. We are trying to work out the annex-
ation program which Hollywood has been contemplating many years , and
I understand that Dania has been considering, to see if there can be
some arrangement made, not only between the two cities , but also with
the property owners.
From a legal standpoint, as Mr. Cabot will tell you, it is not up to
the property owners, unless they have a serious enough oU3ection other
than the fact that they don't want to come into the city. It is a
question of the benefit that it can be to the city, and not the lack
of benefits that can accrue to the area to be annexed. But rarely
has the City of Hollywood annexed an area without getting some indi-
cation from`the property owners in that area: We checked it out, and
there are about 52 property owners in that area, and yet objections
come from only about a dozen Together we will individually poll the
property owners, and if we find that they don't want to annex, I
think that the City of Hollywood will not force them, and I feel that
the City of Dania doesn't want to either.
We will ask for a 30;,day postponement on the court hearing to give
us time to poll the property owners. We will submit letters to the
52 property owners in that area, stating that . . . . . .
(1) The cities of Hollywood and Dania would like for you
to inform them as to whether you would like to be
annexed or not, and
(2) Which city has your preference.
We can insert in the letter, that the purpose is to give the best
protection that is available.
`•` There being no further business on the agenda, the meeting adjourned.
