The City Commission of the City of Dania, Florida, met in Special Session in the Commission Room at the City Hall . • Present were: MAYOR-COMMISSIONER VERA L. HILL COMMISSIONERS ROBERT L. GRAMMER VIRGIL TARPLEY JOSEPH D. THORNTON CITY MANAGER LESTER E. CULVERSON CHIEF OF POLICE MONTIE F. SMITH • CITY CLERK MARY THORNHILL The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by Mayor Hill. Attorney Walden asked to be excused. • The purpose of this meeting is to discuss-plane for the incinerator. Peter Broome: We have prepared a Preliminary Engineering Report, on a 75 ton per day capacity incinerator, based on a population of 8,300 persons ,being in the City of Dania at present. This will • permit the incinerator to be operated on approximately an eight hour per day basis. That is , someone will be there early to start the incinerator, and it will be operated on an eight to ten hour day. It will be sufficient to burn all the garbage plus refuse that is collected in the City. • We propose one of the modern types of incinerators, one that uses a Plastic•.refractory. We feel that it is far superior to the old type of incinerator. So our prices have been based on that type of incinerator. Also, we have chosen a low stack incinerator to decrease the cost. • In the past, it has become the custom to go to 100 to 130 foot stacks. The purpose of this stack is to get a draft through the incinerator so that the air will be drawn in for combustion. We have gone into a low stack, and an induced draft, where we use a fan to make the draft. This will reduce the cost of the inciner- ator immensely. • The site of the incinerator, we feel-, is good for an incinerator. It is in an area that is predominately rock pits , there are no residences within 500 feet of the incinerator, there is one ele- mentary school that is 400 to 500 feet away. But we don't feel that the incinerator will offer any problem whatsoever in that connection. We feel that there is sufficient distance. Also, • - the incinerator is located so that prevailing winds will carry any fly ash from the incinerator away from the school. To control fly ash, we have provided one of the most efficient ways known, and that is by water spray. We will have sprays located in the incinerator so that when the flue gas is passed through these sprays, the particles of fly ash will be collected on the water, and they will fall to the bottom of the incinerator and be flushed out to an ash removal pit. Some ten to twelve per-cent of all the material that goes into the incinerator is not burnable. This material works its way down the grade. We have an automatically stoked grade. The movement of this grade and the angle of the grade. sets all non- combustible material to work down and fall off the grade onto a trench. This trench is filled with water. Also, there is a conveyor that will convey the ashes up into a hopper, and from the hopper into a truck. Then this will have to be hauled away and disposed of in another site. That is the basic principles: • - y • • ® A motion was made by Commissioner Thornton to table this until we can get some definite figures to go by. Commissioner Tarpley: If you will include in your motion to also get the cost of what it will cost to go to the County Incinerator, I will go along with that. We haven't had any concrete figures from the County yet either. Commissioner Grammer: Why not send this to the State Board of Health to see if we can put the Incinerator out there or not. We don't even know if they will approve the site, or not. Mayor Hill: The purpose of this meeting is for our approval to let these plans go to the State Board of Health. Mr. Broome: There are also things in this report that we need to work out with the Board of Health before we can determine final cost. Commissioner Thornton: Then what you are•rasking is that we send them to the State Board of Health to find out if-.they will approve them. And if they will approve them, then we will find out what it will cost. But if we let them go to the State, we are not saying that we are definitely 100% for it? City Manager Culverson:. This is just to approve that it go before the Board of Health. Commissioner Thornton: If you have to have that in order to get your definite figures , then I will withdraw my motion. Commissioner Tarpley: And I will withdraw my second, but I would still like the City Manager to get figures on what it would cost to go to the County Incinerator. A motion was made by Commissioner Grammer to send these plans to the State Board of Health for the purpose of having the City Engineer come up with more sound costs, and to see whether they will let us put it on hither of the two sites we have in mind. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Thornton, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer Yes Tarpley Yes Thornton Yes Hill Yes City Manager Culverson read a letter as follows : " Dear Mr. Culverson;; We are recommending that street paving program Project No. 61-39 be awarded. to DiMar Paving Co, Inc. , for the proce of $6,842.25. /s/ Peter Broome " A motion was made by Commissioner Tarpley to accept the recommen- dation of the City Manager and the City Engineer and award the contract to DiMar paving.
