Commissioner Thornton: How much are you enlarging the building in com-
parison to the size of the present building?
Mr. Poutinen: There is about 35% increase in the size of the building.
Commissioner Thornton: How many people willl, you be employing?
Mr. Poutinen: As far as the present plan is concerned we don't see any in-
crease in the number of employees, we are not building for that purpose.
We are allowing eight additional parking places. The nature of our business
is changing a lot. We employ between 30 and 90 people at the present time.
Naturally, during the season we employ more, possibly about 200. Our busi-
ness has changed from small pencil sets to larger type of items such as
brief cases and stationery items which requires four or five times as much
storage space. We plan to double the size of our office and we need nore
space for storage. As Ear .as parking is concerned we have always main-
tained very good parking and will continue to maintain off-street parking
at all times in our own area. We think it is good for our business and
good for the City.
Commissioner Thornton: The plan shows parking for 30 cars.
Mr. Poutinen: If you have seen our operation during the daytime any time
of the year, you will not see parking on the street. We own a whole block
from the alley to the street. We have never had any parking on the street
to speak of. We will have maybe one or two cars on Federal Highway. We
have ample parking.
A motion was made by Commissioner Grammer to accept the recommendation of
the Zoning Board. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Young, and the
roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows:
Grammer Yes
Tarpley Yes
Thornton Yes
Young Yes
Hill Yes
6. Mr. Art Franza, attorney for Jack's or Better, Inc. asked the Board to
waive hearing on March 24 for the sake of expediency for Mr.' Paul Pisculli.
He stated that a hardship exists because the season will soon be over if
they wait for this hearing.
A motion was made by Mr. Rickards and seconded by Mr. Jackson that the re-
quest for wiver be denied. Motion carried.
Mr. Franza: " A motion to have a joint meeting with the City Commission
was not denied."
Mr. Rickards then withdrew"his previous motion and, Mr. Jackson withdrew
his second.
A motion was made by Mr. Rickards that waiver of hearing be denied and the
hearing for objections to variance of the ordinance be held at 8:00 P. M.
a' on Tuesday, April 14, 1964; seconded by Mr. Jackson. Motion carried.""
Attorney Walden: If you recall at the last meeting of the commission a
z:a hearing was authorized before the commission on March 24 on the condition
that the zoning board waive its hearing. Evidently at this meeting of the
zoning board they decided not to waive their hearing and set it for April
' 14.
-4-
I was contacted by the City Clerk to prepare, and I have done so, a legal
ad to have a hearing .before the zoning board on the application of Jack's
or Better, for March 27. This was done after contact with the chairman of
the zoning board. I do not know who set the power to move it back but I
have done so.
Commissioner Thornton: Did the zoning board agree to meet on March 277 I
understood they did not.
Mr. Rickards, a member of the zoning board: The meeting is set for April
14.
s Commissioner Tarpley: Did Mr. Pisculli request a special meeting for the
27th?
Mr. Rickards: You will have to ask the chairman, I have not heard anything
from Mr. Pisculli.
• Attorney Walden: You will have to take some action to get it straightened '
out. Based on a telephone call I have set the hearing for March 27 before
the zoning board. If it is going to be on the 14th, we will have to cancel
the one on the 27th and re-advertise it for April 14.
Commissioner Grammer: Is that meeting called off Mr. Rickards? .
' Mr. Rickards: As far as I know it has been. We received a letter from Mr.
Loury stating that Mr. Grammer, Mr. Thornton, Mr. Tarpley and Mr. Young have
requested that we hold a meeting on the 27th, and I would like to question
that.
Commissioner Thornton: I was in the office together with Mr. Grammer and
Mr. Tarpley, and we told Mr. Pisculli that in order to expedite the hear-
ing, if it was agreeable to the zoning board we could advertise it for
the 27th. We did not say for the zoning board to hold.it on the 27th. It
was left entirely up to them whether they wanted it or not. If they wanted
to call a special meeting for the 27th to hold this hearing) we would call
a special meeting of the commission after their hearing and act on their
recommendation. We did not say for them to do it, it was entirely up to
their discretion.
Commissioner Tarpley: Mr. Pisculli was going to you and request a special
meeting and it would be strictly up to you whether you wanted to do it or
+ not.
Mr. Rickards: I don't think we should let Mr. Pisculli dictate policy
around here. I called the mayor, Mr. Thornton and Mr. Grammer and they
knew nothing about it. I don't think it is fair to get caught in the
middle of this when we knew nothing whatsoever about it. At our meeting
we agreed to have a hearing April 14 at a regular meeting. To my knowledge
there were no plans to have it at any other time, I am speaking for myself.
The letter I received did say that four members of the commission had re-
quested that we have this hearing and I understand now ,they did not request
it.
i Commissioner Thornton: We did request that they hold a hearing. We ad-
vised Mr. Pisculli how he could get a hearing quicker than at your next
meeting, by consulting you and seeing if you would set it for an earlier
date.
Mr. Rickards: I understand that. But that was not what was in the letter
we received.
Commissioner Thornton: I have not seen the letter, I do not know what was
;> r in it.

Commissioner Young: Mr. Loury wrote the letter after calling the city
• hall because he asked me if he could use my name in the letter and I told
him he could providing'it was agreeable with the other three commissioners.
It was immaterial with me one way or the other.
Commissioner Tarpley: I told Mr. Pisculli how he could go about getting
a hearing. I heard Mr. Loury had contacted the board and they were agree-
able, and then I hear today they denied it.
Commissioner Grammer: I have not ordered anybody to have a meeting and
I don't think any of the other commissioners did at the time we were talk-
ing to Mr. Pisculli in the City Managers office. I would like to say this-
this thing has been drug around for a long time and if there is any way
• possible without hurting the zoning board or the commission, I would like
to see us come up with an answer as quick as we can. In other words, let
me man off the hook. He has been trying to get an answer for about 90
days. It to either tell him yes or no. The man says he is hurting, let's
either give it to him or let him go .broke and get some one else in there
and give them a chance.
Commissioner Tarpley: I am all for doing something on it myself because
it has been kicked around long enough. There is. a lot of controversy over
it and it is not good for either side.
Mr. Rickards: Let me understand something here now-- when a man comes in
to get a building permit, and you have one on file right now -- ,that man
has to wait until we have our next meeting. Why don't we go ahead and by
pass all the rules and let him have a special meeting also. If you are
going to do it for one, let's do it for all.
Commissioner Tarpley: We have a lot of special meetings too. You can
grant him a special meeting if you want to.
Mr. Rickards: If you are going to have a hardship meeting for one, let's
have them for all. We have not proven yet that a hardship exists in this
case.
Tarpley: When you won't listen I don't see how you can expect to find out
whether he has a hardship or not.
Mr. Rickards: You sat there and said we did not make a motion amd we play-
ed the tape back so you could hear it.
Mayor Hill. A motion was made by Mr. Rickards at the zoning board meeting
that their request for a waiver be denied. We have appointed our zoning
x' board to make these recommendations to us and I feel like we should give
,a..• them credit for making a sound decision. By them denying that-- Mr. Pisculli
r` can ask for his hearing April 14 and I think we better leave it at that.
Mr. Rickards: This has been kicked around so much. I have heard it and it
has come to me on three different occasions off .the street, and also one
time by Mr. Tarpley-- that I am going to be removed from the zoning board,
which is alright too.
Commissioner Tarpley: I did not say you were going to be removed.
Mr. Rickards: There were two people present when you said it, and that was
the clerk and Mr. Grammer.
Commissioner Tarpley: Did you hear me say that Mr. Grammer?
Commissioner Grammer: I just heard the end of the conversation. I had
rather not go into it .
5F�
Mr. Rickards: Whether they heard it or not, if you are going to do it now
is the time. You have an opportunity to do it tonight, so letts do it and
get it over.
Commissioner Tarpley: I am not going to remove you.
Mr. Rickards:. Letts stop the talk on the street right now if you don't
intend to remove me.
Attorney Walden: The minutes of the zoning board are the official ones
and they say April 14. If that is the last word then the only thing we
can do is cancel the hearing March 27 and re-advertise for April 14. I
think the zoning board has a right to stt its own hearing time.
Commissioner Grammer: I saw the letter about a week ago. I knew it was
mininterpreting what we told Mr. Pisculli he had to do . I know this man
is figuring on having the hearing as quick as possible. Has there been
another letter sent out to the zoning board members that the meeting has
been cancelled?
Mr. Rickards: There has not been another letter to my knowledge. We were
notofied that there would not be a quorum at this meeting.
Commissioner Grammer: Do you know whether M:.,. Pisculli has been notified
that the hearing would not have a quorum present? .
Mr. Rickards: I do not know, because I do not know who authorized that he
was going to have a hearing. I do not know where the information came from,
it was not from the zoning board and I understand it did not come from the
commission.
Commissioner Tarpley: Harry Loury authorized the hearing when Mr. Pisculli
was in his office.
Commissioner Grammer: No I do not think he did. I can tell you how the
27th came about. It was like Mr. Thornton explained. Mr. Pisculli came
in and asked us how he could speed this up. The only thing we could advise
him was that if the zoning board would hold a meeting on the 27th of March
we could advertise it for a public hearing on the 73th of March. The three
commissioners present stated they would call a meeting and act on their re-
commendation the same night. The only thing is-- we were misunderstood.
It seems we ordered the zoning board to do this. I know I would never order
the zoning board to have a hearing, and I don't think any of the other com-
missioners would either. I figure you know what you are doing the same as
we do on this board or we would not have put you there.
The part I am talking about is the fact this man has paid for a hearing and .
he should have been notified the hearing is off. I hate to see him lose his
fee. There seems to be some misunderstanding.
r Mr. Rickards: This was not done by the authority of the zoning board or
the commission. So I think we are all clear on that. If he wants to spend
the money that is up to him.
Attorney Walden: Unless the secretary of the zoning board tells me different
I will advertise this for a public hearing April 14 and put in an ad cancel-
ing the hearing for March 27.
Commissioner Grammer: Let me say this -- the man put it to us this way--
that is -- if he did not get a hearing before the first of April he was
c going to forget it. I think before we advertise it again we should contact
him about it. Let's get it straight this time.
Attorney Walden: May I make one suggestion. I don't believe I would make
him pay for the second legal ad because he has paid for one or two already.
Commissioner Tarpley: He is not applying for a variance, he has put in an
application for a night club license.
-7-
1 • •
Commissioner Grammer: I received an application from the man for a night
club license. Also a check for the license fee. I denied him the license
as Acting City Manager.
Commissioner Thornton: I recommend we accept the recommendation from the
zoning board for a public hearing April 14 for a variance.
Commissioner Tarpley: This is not a variance, it is an application for a
night club license.
Commissioner Thornton: He has to have a variance in order to get the
license, he cannot get one without it.
Attorney Walden: Yes that is correct. The ordinance says .you cannot get
one except West of the railroad and North of the Dania Cut-Off canal. The
only way you can issue it is by the granting of a variance. A motion should .
be made that the zoning board be authorized to conduct a hearing on April
14 providing Mr. Pisculli wants it.
A motion was made by Commissioner Thornton to advertise for a public hearing
to be conducted by the zoning board April 14 if Mr. Pisculli still wants it,
if not, hearing to be cancelled. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Grammer, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows:
Grammer Yes
Tarpley Yes
Thornton Yes
Young Yes
Hill Yes
It now being 8:30 P. M., the Mayor called for any additional bids in the
audience for paving. There being no more bids, a motion was made by Com-
missioner Thornton that the time for accepting bids for paving be closed.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Young.
Commissioner Thornton: Before we have a motion to open bids I would like
to ask a question. I would like to know if the bids are submitted in such
form that the alleys and streets in the South end of town can be deleted
from the bids?
Commissioner Grammer: I do not know, I do not have an extra set of the
plans and specifications in the office. I presume they are separated as
all the others have been. If it can be done, I would like to see the com-
mission wait until tomorrow--and let me call in the four bidders and ask
them if they would be willing to go ahead with the work if part of it was
deleted. If they are agreeable, then let Mr. Lindeman and I open the bids
tomorrow. There are two streets we would like to see put in as the people
have been waiting a long time and they keep asking when we are going to
put them in. I would hate to open the bids if there is not some way we
can delete part of the contract.
Commissioner Tarpley: I think we should let the people know why we are
deleting this particular street and alley. The reason is that we are an-
ticipating getting a sewer program started here very shortly and this part-
icular street and alley would have to be torn up to put in the sewer lanes.
That is why we are talking about deleting part of the contract.
Attorney Walden: If all the bidders are in agreement that it is alright
to delete a limited amount of the contract. But under the charter, I
believe the commission has to open the bids, so you will have to have a
special meeting to do it.
Commissioner Thornton: I suggest that you hold off opening the bids even
if we have to cA2.1 a special meeting to do so. Contact each of the bidders
and ask them if it is alright to delete these streets we are talking about
ti ; without effecting the contract.
Commissioner Young:. Can you contact the four bidders and find out if they
are willing to delete that part of the bid and call a meeting sometime to-
morrow and open the bids if they are agreeable.
A motion was made by Commissioner Thornton to table opening bids until
12:00 o'clock noon, March 17, 1964, and that the City Manager be instructed
to contact the four bidders and advise them of our request. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Young, and the roll being called, the Commissioners
voted as follows:
Grammer Yes
Tarpley Yes .
Thornton Yes
Young Yes
Hill Yes
A letter was read from the Broward County Area Planning Board requesting a
nomination be made by Dania to serve on the board so that it can be present-
ed to the Governor for approval as two members terms expire in a short time.
Commissioner Grammer: I have talked to Mr. Sparkman and he said he would
be glad to serve and that we could submit his name in nomination. I would
like to make a motion that we nominate Luther Sparkman to serve on this
board. The motion was seconded by Commissioner; Tarpley, and the roll being
called, the Commissioners voted as follows:
Grammer Yes
Tarpley Yes
Thornton Yes
Young Yes
Hill Yes
Attorney Walden: If you recall, Mr. Henry Ransburg, and attorney, represent-
ing the property owners on the Northeast corner of Sheridan Street and US 1,
withdrew a hearing last month on rezoning of that corner for a service station.
He asked that it be postponed until a later date.
We have a letter addressed to the city clerk in effect asking that the hear-
ing be re-set before the commission for the April 6 meeting. Technically,
you could send it back to the zoning board for further recommendation, but
since the zoning board has.made a recommendation I suggest you re-set it for
anotle r hearing before the commission. You have to give notice to the ad-
joining property owners and do the advertising for the second hearing, and
that requires 15 days. I would recommend you set the hearing for .Apri1 20,
which will give you plenty of time.
A motion was made by Commissioner Thornton to advertise for a public hearing
on Mr. Ransburg's request for April 20) 1964, at 8:15 P. M. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Tarpley, and the roll being called, the Commissioners
' voted as follows:
Grammer Yes
Tarpley Yes
Thornton Yes
Young Yes
Hill Yes
Attorney Walden: Mr. Z. B. Skinner, owner of Cozy Cove Marina, informally
discussed with the City Manager the possibility of the city vacating a small
area in the intersection of the NW corner of N. E. Third. Street and N- E-
First Court. The City Manager told Mr. Skinner at the time that before the
commission could do anything hw would have to have a survey made showing the
area and the description of what he wanted vacated.
Mr. Skinner gave me the survey and I sent it to the City Manager for his
recommendation to the commission. If you are inclined to do this I can tell
you what 'procedure you have to follow.
-9-
Commissioner Grammer: If we do vacate this land$ are there any dollars and
cents in it for the city?
Attorney Walden: He is talking about a gift.
Commissioner Grammer: I am not in favor of giving anything away.
Attorney Walden: Actually$ this should be -referred to the zoning board for
their recommendation.
A motion was made by Commissioner Grammer this request be referred to the
zoning board for recommendation. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
. Tarpley and the roll being called) the Commissioners voted as follows:
Grammer Yes
Tarpley Yes
Thornton Yes
Young Yes
Hill Yes

Commissioner Grammer: The parking lines at the beach are very badly worn
and I have a price on re-marking all the lanes and also the "Do not Enter"
signs on the street) the "Stop" and "In" signs for a total of $467.00.
I would like to have the commissions approval to have this done as it is
under $500.00.
Commissioner Thornton: How many prices do you have?
Commissioner Grammer: Only. the one. This man came in the office and gave
me this price and said it was guaranteed for two, years.
Commissioner Young: Why don't you get a couple more bids on it with a guaran=
<' tee on it and we can take action on it.
Commissioner Tarpley: We went to Atlanta with information on the sewers. The
people up there went over them and their answer seemed very favorable for us.
It looks like we are going to be able to put this sewer program through
Commissioner Thornton: We have to have a resolution authorizing the engineer
to proceed with the necessary plans and specifications for that purposes and
if it is in order I will make a motion that a resolution 'be drawn and passed
authorizing the engineer to proceed with final plans and specifications for
a sanitary sewer system. The motion was seconded. by Commissioner Young, and
the roll being called$ the Commissioners voted as follows:
Grammer Yes
Tarpley Yes

Commissioner Thornton: I would like to have a copy of this resolution sent
to the engineers, Philpott, Ross & Saarinen as soon as possible.
Mr. B. J. Florian: I have a plan for a building that was on the agenda for
the last zoning board meeting and they did not take any action on it because
I was not there. I did not know that I had to be at the meeting. I would
like to have it considered tonight if possible.
. Building Inspector Lindeman: His request is for a permit to build a labor-
atory and office building with living quarters upstairs. The location is
on N. W. loth Street, the plan shows the proper set-backs and the zoning is
B-1 Classification. It is an experimental laboratory.
Attorney Qalden: Is this the type thing they would ordinarily pass as a
` matter of course, or is it something that they would have to use some dis-
cretion on. If not, I would suggest that the commission consider it tonight.
There is nothing that says an applicant has to be present at a meeting to
have his request considered.
Commissioner Thornton: Are there any residence close to this location?
Building Inspector Lindeman: No. It is .about 100 feet East of the Peoples
Gas metering station on loth Street.
Commissioner Thornton: What will they be doing in this laboratory2
Commissioner Grammer: They make Ulcertone, and it will be an experimental
laboratory and office. They will not be bottling anything at this location.
A motion was made by Commissioner Young to approve the plans subject to any
restrictions or stipulations that the building inspector wants to make.
` Commissioner Thornton: Are the sidewalks in at this location?
Building Inspector Lindeman: There are no sidewalks in at the present
time. He has to get a permit for sidewalks at the time he gets his building
permit.
Commissioner Young: I will add to my motion -- that he comply with all city
ordinances.
Commissioner Grammer: Are you approving the plans or are you approving the
request to put up the building?
Commissioner Young: We are just approving that the building inspector can
use proper jurisprudence in seeing that everything conforms, such as parking,
septic tanks, drainage, set-backs, sidewalks, etc.
Commissioner Thornton: Does the laboratory come under the type zoning we
have there.
Building Inspector Lindeman; Yes.
Mayor Hill called for a second to the motion. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Tarpley, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as
follows:
' Grammer Yes
Tarpley Yes
Thornton Yes
Young Yes
Hill Yes
Mr. Rickards: Several months ago you will recall that the commission passed
on a recommendation made by the zoning board whereby if a man wanted to put
up a building and everything is in order and he complies with all the zoning
ordinances, that the zoning board and the commission be eliminated from ap
proving the plans and it be referre& to the building inspector. This can
save an awful lot of time on things such as this. If you had not acted on,
rl].-
e
this tonight Mr. Florian would have to go back to the zoning board and then
to the commission and he would be delayed for at least a month. Whatever
happened to the recommendation?
Commissioner Grammer: Mr. Walden is working on it.
Attorney Walden: About a year ago I was authorized to bring the Code of
Ordinances up to date, which will be a year's project. The particular thing
you are referring to was to be included in this new code. Unless I find out
otherwise that was what I was going to do. ' I do not think the commission as
such has told me to rewrite the ordinance and bring it up before that. How-
ever if you wish it done, I will have it here for'the next meeting.
Commissioner Rickards: I was informed today that there was another building
that was ready to be started. Everything is in order, yet he has to wait
until the second week in April to come to the zoning board, then on to the
commission. I think we are missing an awful lot when we hold these people
up like that.
Commissioner Tarpley: I know we are as I have seen it happen in a lot of
cases and I did not realize it was going to take this long. If everything
is in order, I see no reason why it has to come before the zoning board or
the commission. If there is anything not in order, then it should go through
proper channels.
Mayor Hill: I think it is proper to instruct the City Attorney to draw'up
an ordinance.
A motion was made by Commissioner Tarpley that the city attorney draw up a
proper ordinance, and that ordinance be passed on first reading at this time.
Attorney Walden: There are several things involved here. If you remember
the recommendation the zoning board presented to the commission was where
some things were approved and some were not.
Mr. Rickards: I think the two things should be separate.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Young.
Attorney Walden: You can authorize it to be passed on first reading to-
night, you may want to make some changes at the next meeting.
Mayor Hill called for a vote on the motion. It was as follows:
Grammer Yes
Tarpley Yes
Thornton Yes
Young Yes
Hill Yes
Commissioner Grammer: I have a committee report on the police reserve. The
committee has talked it over and we have fo:ind out how much it will cost per
man per year. I have a letter from Mr. Wall in which he says the Workmen's
Compensation policy will provide coverage for the auxiliary police force
while employed by the City of Dania. Since there is no salary involved, no
weekly income will be paid if a man is disabled. That means weekly compen-
sation. If the men are employed by other businesses .such as the bank or the
is fronton, they are covered under their policy and on their payroll. The cost
of this to the city will be $9.12 per man per year and it will be included in
a> ,
the annual police payroll.
_ I would like to recommend that a motion be made giving our Chief of Police
authority to form a police reserve.
-12-
Attorney Walden: Some of the commissioners have informally asked me to
have a resolution prepared. Basically, the authority for having a reserve
is one of a training aspect so you can have a supply of policemen to call
upon in a case of grave emergency. I have a resolution and I am assuming
that these men do not have the power of arrest or the right to carry weapons.
These are some of the things that should be discussed.
Commissioner Thornton: How are these men going to be selected?
Attorney Walden: You have one provision in the charter thtt says the city
manager or the mayor can appoint persons to serve as temporary policemen
during time of grave emergency or riot. There is a limited number of cir-
cumstances where you can appoint these people to serve temporarily . . I
S think as long as you look upon them strictly as under a training program
without the power of arrest and the right to carry a gun it will be alright.
A policeman is the only one permitted to carry a gun that I know of. How
far do you intend to go with this?
Chief Smith: I want the arresting powers and the right to carry a weapon.
Attorney Walden: You better get a letter from Mr. Wall saying we are cov-
ered for assualt and battery, false arrest and such.
Commissioner Thornton: On what basis are you going to select these men?
• Chief Smith: We have tentatively drawn up a set of by laws, and in the
by laws it specifically states that the Police Committee of the City Com-
mission and the Police Chief will screen these applicants and they will
agree on the members that are selected.
Commissioner Thornton: How many men will you have? Where will their un-
iforms come from?
Chief Smith: We will have ten men. The men will buy their own uniforms.
Commissioner Thornton: We have had a very unhappy experience with this
auxiliary stuff in the past and at .the presenttime I would like to know
more about if before I cast a vote for or against it. The first I knew
about it was here a month or so ago there was an article in the paper
abou t it. This past week I heard through the grapevine these men were
supposed to be sworn in this past Wednesday night. I would like to know
more about this thing before we go ahead and organize it.
Chief Smith: I talked with Mr. Hill and the other members of the Police
Committee several days ago. If the commission wishes we will set the
date when ever they want it. .. We can have these people come in and put
there applications in and let the screening committee go over them and
decide which ten men they want. I ,think this is the only fair way to do
it.
Commissioner Tarpley: They will not be selected by any one individual.
Commissioner Young: Is it contemplated this will be Dania Police Reserve
as a non profit organization, chartered through the circuit court, are
under the police laws of the city ?
be
Chief Smith: It will/regulated under the police laws of the city and of
the state, and it will be designed to enforce such laws. However, we aret
going to have a training period, we are ;not just going-to put a gun on
them and put them out on the street to do police work.
Commissioner Thornton: Just what do you intend' to dq with them when you
get them?
af,
-13- ,
S '
Chief Smith: There are often times we have calls such as the drive-in
theatre, especially on week-ends when they have a lot of kids up there.
• The Dania Hi-Li is open 100 nights per year. We have three men working
out there and they work the midnight shift for us. I do not think we
are getting the maximum efficiency from these men when they put in 5 or
6 hours each night at the Hi-Li. I could use the reserve men out there
instead of putting our regular men out there. There are numerous places
where they can be used. We could use them for this extra traffic detail
we have now. We could use them at dances at the school and many other
places where such service is required.
Attorney Walden: Are these men willing to work'for nothing? That will
influence a good -bit of who is responsible for them
Chief Smith: They will not work for nothing when they are on detail at
the Hi-Li or any of the other places. When they are called upon to do a
job for the city they will be paid. They will have to give the city at
least four hours per month free and they have to abide by our rules and
regulations the same as our police officers.
Commissioner Thornton:
This police deal before was nothing but a political football that people
used for political purposes and I hate to see us get involved in that
kind of thing again. It was very unfavorable before.
Chief Smith: I do not want any part of it under those circumstances.
If the commission feels that is what it is going to be, why vote it down
and we will forget it. I think it could be very good for the city. In
our by-laws a paid police officer would be in control of the police re-
serve, one of the men on the force now.
Commissioner Youngs I assume you plan on using a man in the squad car to
assist in the duties when they are needed. There are times when an extra
man is needed.
Commissioner Tarpley: Every city has a police reserve, so does the sheriff Ts
department and the highway patrol.
Attorney Walden: I am not questioning it, I am trying to write this reso-
lution. The thing that threw me was whether or not they have power of arrest.
Does the highway patrol have auxiliary men in their cars?
Commissioner Tarpley° The American Legion sponsors the auxiliary for the
highway patrol. They do have power of arrest.
Chief Smith: They do have power of arrest. So does the reserve officers
in Hollywood, Hallandale and Ft. Lauderdale.
Commissioner Thornton:, What will the additional cost of this be?
Commissioner Grammer: It will be very minor, $9.12 per man per year.
Commissioner Thornton: It will be more if you are going to allow them to
carry guns and give them the power of arresting people. I want to know if
that is going to cover everything?
Roger Charest: I have been living in Dania for eleven years. I was on the
Hollywood police reserve for four years. I think it was one of the biggest
assets Hollywood has. All that it costs them is $5.00 per year per man.
They will not give a man the right to wear a weapon unless he goes to the
rifle range and passes a test. He also has to pass ,a.written test to be-
come a members of the police reserve.
-14-
Commissioner Grammer: It is understandable that it would be cheaper per
man in Hollywood than it would be in Dania, they have a larger force.
Mr. Carl Zenobia: They get their insurance from the Florida Highway Patrol.
They do not go through an insurance company, they have special insurance for
reserves.
Commissioner Grammer: I would like to keep our insurance with the insurance
company we have now even if it does cost a little more.
Commissioner Young: It is little different kind of insurance. This $5.00
insurance is probably not Workments Compensatiod at all.
Commissioner Grammer: The question is-- do we want it or not. I would like
to get it settled tonight. This has been kicked around long enough.
Commissioner Young: I would like to say this. . As far as the police reserve
is concerned, if it can be operated properly, and I am sure it will be, it
will be a tremendous help and advantage to the city. However, I would like
to see certain restrictions and codes adhered to. To see that they have a
good degree of efficiency before they are allowed to do any of the various
duties of an officer such as carry weapons and make arrests. That they be
given a written examination so that we can tell if they are acquainted with
certain responsibilities so that they do not get into trouble. The fact
that you can get a gun happy person you can get into some derious trouble.
I would like to see that safe guards are set up and that examinations be given
and that a physical examination be one of them.
Commissioner Grammer: I would like to see that too Mr. Young. But we do not
require that of our regular policeman, so why should we be so strict with
these men. We just pick up a man and hire him and maybe he has never had a
gun in his hand.
Commissioner Thornton: Then it should be imposed on them right now.
Commissioner Grammer: Why do these men .that want to give you something be
required to do something that the men you have carrying a gun 24 hours a day
do not have to do. If you are going to do it, letts start at the bottom and
work all the way up.
Commissioner Young: I agree with that, it is exactly what I had in mind.
Commissioner Tarpley: You are giving a man that volunteers his services a
har time and upholding a man that you pay. The shoe should fit the same two
men.
Commissioner Thornton: The committee should get together and put out some
rules for hiring policemen, such as examinations and tests.
Commissioner Tarpley: Letts not jump on a man that is donating his time to
the city for nothing.
Commissioner Thornton: If he is not qualified, whether he is donating his
time or not, I don't think he ought to be out there.
Commissioner Grammer: If you are paying a man and he is not qualified, why
is he out there.
Chief Smith: I think too much of Montie Smith to put a man out there with
a gun. If I don't think he can handle a gun I will not be working with him.
Commissioner Grammer: There was a police reserve here several years ago be-
cause I have attended a lot of commission meetings here in the last four
years because I wanted to find out all I could and I have never seen a reso-
lution drawn doing away with this group, so why so much to do now when there
was none before.
-15-
•
Commissioner Thornton: You did not have the same men here before.
Commissioner Grammer: The law is still the same.
Commissioner Tarpley: You were on the commission when the auxiliary was
organized. Elmer Christensen and I formed it i n 1951 under the Civil Def-
ense Program.
Commissioner Thornton: I have seen some sad experiences under this thing
too and I am objecting to it until I find out what you intend to do.
Commissioner Young: When he was elected to the commission in 1960, he was
on the commission about four days when we did away with it.
Commissioner Tarpley: That was a political thing I admit.
Commissioner Thornton: I would like to see this thing given more thought
before you go ahead and form it here tonight.
• Commissioner Tarpley: We are trying to.find out if you want it or not.
Commissioner Thornton: At this point of the game I do not know whether I
want it or not. We have not had a chance to look into it. The first time
I even discussed it was when we went to Atlanta last week. I had to ask
you about it then, you did not volunteer the information.
Commissioner Tarpley: That is the way to find out something, if you don't
know--ask.
Commissioner Thornton: That is just the reason I am not going to give you
a vote for it tonight. I want to have a chance to look into it.
Commissioner Grammer: I will put a motion on the floor that we give the
chief permission to form this reserve, or, else letts forget about it. That
is the way I feel abou t it, we have talked about it for two months and you
have the police committee of three commissioners on it. -Just like any of
your other committees. I have looked into .it, Virgil has worked on it. . He
went to Hollywood and got their rules and regulations, and it is either do
it tonight or not, there is no need to sit around' and keep postponing it.
Commissioner Young: How about giving us an opportunity to look over the
rules and regulations.
Commissioner Grammer: Here is something that was looked into by a committee,:
and the committee made a recommendation. Take the committee report from
Atlanta. You have not looked into it, neither has the mayor. We took that
report, and now I have submitted a committee report and you will not accept
Commissioner Thornton: That committee kept you informed of everything that,
was happening all along the line too. Everything that was discussed, we
discussed openly between all of us. This deal you are bringing up tonight
is you and Virgil. I don't know whether the mayor knows anything about it
T or not. Why didn't this committee ke4p the commission informed on what has
been happening? Mr. Young were you informed on what was happening?
-1fi-
rat.'!•.',,
Commissioner Young: I had a 30 minute conversation one time about what
they were thinking about doing.
Commissioner Thornton: We kept the entire commission informed on the
sewers.
Commissioner Tarpley: We had a committee meeting one Saturday morning and
the mayor sat in when we were reading the by-laws.
o Commissioner Thornton: I don't mind the committees making reports, but I
would like to be kept informed on what they are working on.
Commissioner Tarpley: You have a copy of the by-laws.
Commissioner Thornton: Yes after I jumped on you about not knowing anything
about it.
Commissioner Grammer: I gave you a copy of my report.
Chief Smith: This thing seems so controversial, and it is not that much of
an emergency,
Commissioner Thornton: Let me ask another question. Did you intend to
swear in 10 men this past Wednesday night?
Chief Smith: No. We talked about it. .
• Commissioner Thornton: You were going to swear them in before the commission
had a chance to discuss it and take action on it'. Is that true or not true?
Chief Smith: We talked about it and we decided after meeting with the mayor
that we would not do it.
Commissioner Thornton: But you had anticipated doing it this past Wednesday
night.
Commissioner Grammer: No. There was a man.at that meeting that is here
tonight and he can tell you what I said. Mr. 'Zenobia did I not tell you
not to take any action on this in any way,if we can get everything worked
out with the commission we would let you know and you could go ahead with
your plans. We called and informed you that there would not be a meeting.
Mr. Zenobia: We*had a meeting here on Saturday morning, the by-laws were
discussed and Bob said that they would take it up with the commission and
if they don't want to do anything we wontt swear the men in. If they do,
C we will swear them in next Wednesday night. I feel like Montie, if this -
has to be a political football over nothing, then we don't want any part
r:.
of it. You have ten men that are willing to donate their time to the city.
Commissioner Tarpley:. I have no active part in this thing, and I am not
going to take an active part in it.
You have a motion on this, letts get a second and do what ever you are
r:
going to do with it.
Mayor Hill: I think every one has spoken but me and I would like to get
my two cents worth in if you don't mind. I was asked to read a copy of the
by-laws last week. I was asked to attend a meeting Saturday morning to hear
the by laws read and discussed. I still made no comment. Later in the week
I was approached to swear in the men for this police reserve. I told them
I would think about it. Along the way I consulted my attorney who gave me
some of the best advice I have had. I feel I am not ready to make a decision
whether this is a good thing for Dania or a bad thing. If it is good ,I do
-17-
0
not want to vote against it, but in my mind I am not convinced that it was
• either good or bad. I am concerned insurance wise. When you give a man a
gun that does not know what he is doing it can be bad. Neither am I for a
small group of people picking the group that is to serve on this reserve.
I made the suggestion that if we had such a group to open it to the citizens
of Dania and let them come in and fill out an application as any one does
and let the commission screen them.
I was advised by my attorney to be sure that the insurance was in order be-
fore we did anything definite. I also feel that here is something that the
city commission as a whole should make a decision on. Anything like this
that is formed should be approved or disapproved by the commission. I con-
sulted one of the insurance agents in town about the insurance. He said
that he would see that Mr. Wall got a copy, or that he would request that
Mr. Wall send me a copy of what this would cost the city insurance wise and
cover everybody. To date I have seen nothing except that letter.
When I met the other day with Commissioners Tarpley, Grammer and Chief Smith
I told them how I felt. I still say I do not know whether I am for this or
against it. According to this report from the insurance my mind is still
not made up whether this is good or bad insurance wise. I can see where it
has its fine points for Dania, but I can see also where it can be a bad thing.
I told you if you could come up with some figures and show me something where
some one had signed it I would make my decision. The letter we have is very
indefinite. I would hate to make a decision not knowing more about the in-
surance.
If this has not been presented to the rest of the commission, and if they
would like to discuss it and look into it I think they have a perfect right
to do so. This is the first time this has been brought before the commission
as a whole, it has been hashed back and forth since last January.
' Chief Smith: I would like to go on record at this time asking the commission
to vote this down. I do not want to form an organization under such circum-
stances. I am not mad at any one, there are no hard feeling at this point,
and I think it best if we do not proceed any further at this point. We can
always form it a t a later date when you have had more time to look into it.
Commissioner Grammer: We will be out of office in another year or two. We
have a letter here signed by Mr. Wall and I think he is a pretty good insur-
ance man. He tried to explain in the letter what we asked him for. I don't
know what more we could get from him.
Commissioner Tarpley: Anything Mike Wall tells you, you can be sure it is
true.
Attorney Walden: I agree with everything you say about Mr. Wall. I heard
you read the letter. Does he cover false arrest, assault and battery in his
letter? I got the impression he was talking only about Workmen's Compensat-
ion as any suits we have ends up with Lloyd's of London. I as an attorney
would be concerned about that part of it, although no one has ever been
successful in a suit against our policemen in a suit for false arrest or
assault and battery. We have had about a half dozen suits. Every time you
come to court some one says a policeman beats him up, I never have believed
it but that very thing is raised all the time.
o Commissioner Tarpley: I think all that Commissioner Grammer is trying to
get here tonight is for the commission to authorize Chief Smith to proceed
with this thing. This is not final here tonight as to whether we want it
or not.
Commissioner Grammer: That is just what my motion was and if we are not cov-
ered by insurance we do not want it. I checked with Mr. Wall and he said we
are covered. I know the chief would not want to put a man out with a gun if
he was not covered. What I want to know is-- are the commissioners for this
thing or against it? If they are for it then let's get to work on it and
get it in operation.
-18-
i ,
Chief Smith: I still say I do not want it approved as it stands now. If
there is not a harmonious feeling amoung everyone as it should be I had rather
0 have it tabled for the time being. , Some of the commissioners are undecided
and I can see their point, they want more information on it and I don not
blame them for that.
Mayor Hill: Do I understand that you want to give the Chief of Police the
authority to proceed and look into this and find out all the details and
present it to the commission as a whole?
Commissioner Grammer: That is exactly what I mean, you are either for this
or against it. What is the need to go ahead with this and then the commiss-
ion turn it down.
Commissioner Thornton: At this stage of the game I don't know whether I am
for it or against it.
Commissioner Grammer: My motion was, to give the Chief of Police authority
to form a police reserve.
Commissioner Young: I am going to make a motion at this time to table this
pending further investigation and additional information, and that addition-
al information be given the commission so that a decision can be made.
Commissioner Tarpley: I will second the motion if you will appoint a com-
mittee to investigate it.and make a report.
Commissioner Grammer: We have had a committee investigation and report. I
just made the report.
Commissioner Young: Mr. Tarpley if you want that in the motion I will add--
that the police a nd fire committee investigate establishing a police re-
serve and make a recommendation to the commission.
iP
Mayor Hill called for a vote on the motion. It was as follows:
c' Grammer No
Tarpley No
Thornton Yes
Young Yes
Hill Yes
Attorney Walden: The commission in about a half dozen different meetings
has authorized letters be sent to the owners of Lot 7, Block 11 Dania Heights
Extension to do something about the unsatisfactory condition of that property.
Jt
Also on Lot 123 Block 5, Dania Heights Extension. This lot is owned by an
estate. I have been in touch with the attormey for the estate and he is sat-
isfied we can go ahead and take action to tear. down the building.
The notices given by the city manager on the Sepielli property were given to
Mr. Sepielli and the record owner is Emma Sepielli. So to avoid any risk of
" the assessment not being good, I ask that you adopt a resolution specifically
authorizing the Acting City Manager to serve notice upon the owner of Lot 7,
Block 1, Dania Heights Extension that a building upon said property is struct-
urally unsafe within the meaning of Sec. 17-17 of the Code of Ordinances and
directing the city manager to notify such owner in writing to tear down or.
destroy the building within ten days from the date of the notice.
I am also asking you to adopt a similar type resolution regarding Lot 12,
Block 5, Dania Heights Extension. Theses are.the two resolutions I suggest
you pass.
t
Commissioner Young: Has the ten day notice been sent to the property owner
on S. W. 7th Street?
Attorney Walden: I dontt think so. But I will have you a letter by Wednesday
from the attorney for the estate waiving the ten days as they are willing to
have the city go ahead and do the work. We found out it will only cost about
$200.00. That is cheaper than they could get it done.
A motion was made by Commissioner Young that the two resolutions be adopted
and passed. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Tarpley, and the roll
being called, the Commissioners voted as follows:.
Grammer Yes
Tarpley Yes
Thornton Yes
Young Yes
Hill Yes
Attorney Walden: In a previous meeting some complaint was made about high
' weeds and overgrown grass in certain sections of the city. I was given a
long list of property owners and legal descriptions. I have a resolution
authorizing the city manager to notify certain property owners designated
in this resolution that they are in violation of Sec. 16-18 Code of Ordin-
ances because grass and weeds have grown upon said property to such height
as to constitute a fire hazard and directing the city manager to notify such
owners to abate such condition. This covers property in rear of the fronton
and some lots in Ocean View, Golf Addition, which is a subdivision south of
the golf course.
A motion was made by Commissioner Tarpley this resolution be passed and adop-
ted. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Young, and the roll being can-
ed, the Commissioners voted as follows:
Grammer Yes
Tarpley Yes
Thornton Yes
Young Yes
Hill Yes
Attorney Walden: Mr. Grammer gave me a resolution submitted by the State
Road Department, wherein they in effect are asking the City of Dania to
!' adopt a resolution deeding by quit claim deeds whatever rights, if any, the
?i City of Dania has in Sheridan Street, (SW 16th), between Federal Highway and
State Road 7. If you wish to do that you can adopt this resolution direct-
ing the proper officials to sign the deed.
A motion was made.by Commissioner Grammer this resolution be passed. The
-' motion was seconded by Commissioner Tarpley,a nd the roll being called, the
Commissioners voted as follows:
Grammer Yes
Tarpley Yes
Thornton Yes
Young Yes
Hill Yes
Attorney Walden: Inter-County Construction Company sued the City of Dania
about two years ago claiming additional money due them on a paving contract
in the northeast section of the city. I believe the suit was in the amount
+ of $3,500. It has been pending in court and they are willing to settle to
accept $750. We are at the point now where the case is going to court, and
' - informally you told me to try to settle it our of court. They are willing
y,. to settle it out of court for this amount. I ask that you adopt a formal
motion directing me to settle it for that amount. I recommend it to you.
A motion was made by Commissioner Tarpley directing the City Attorney to
' settle with' Inter-County Construction Company for $750. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Thornton, and the roll being called, the Commission-
ers voted'as follows:
