The City Commission of the City of Dania, Florida met in Reg- ular Session in the Commission Room at the City Hall. PRESENT WERE: MAYOR COMMISSIONER VERA L. HILL COMMISSIONERS R. L. GRAMMER VIRGIL L. TARPLEY JOSEPH D. THORNTON S. ELLIS YOUNG CITY MANAGER E. S. TUBBS, JR. CITY ATTORNEY CLARKE WALDEN CHIEF OF POLICE MONTIE F. SMITH BUILDING INSPECTOR CHARLES LINDEMAN CITY CLERK MARY THORNHILL Meeting called to order at 8:00 P. M. EST by Mayor Hill. Pledge of Allegiance to the flag and the invocation was held at this time. Attorney Walden: On November 22, 1963, Commissioner Thornton tendered a letter of resignation to the commission. The Com- mission held a .specigl meeting at noon today in which they rejected that letter and asked Mr. Thornton; to continue to serve. Since no vacancy was ever declared, I think the resign- ation letter is rather-meaningless. So that our records ,will be clear, the minutes of the meeting should show some express- ion from Commissioner Thornton of his willingness to serve. Thure is no way we can make him serve. Commissioner Thornton: Let the minutes show I will continue to serve. Mayor Hill asked Alva K. Peters , Superintendent of the Water- works to come forward at this time. She then asked Commissioner Thornton to take over the meeting at this point. Commissioner Thornton: Sometime ago we received a letter from the chairman of the Special Safety Commission for the Florida section of the AWWA. The letter was addressed to Mr. Peters and all the commissioners received a copy. I will read it at this time. "Dear Mr. Peters: It is a pleasure to inform you that your water department out of ninety participants , has been chosen by the special safety committee for the Florida section of the AWWA to receive an award. The outstanding record which your department completed during the last year is indeed an accompolishment worthy of praise." It was mentioned at the reorganizational meeting that Mr. Peters had received this commendation and that we would like to recognize it also. At this time in behalf of the City Commission and the people of Dania, I would like to present to Mr. Peters this plaque in app 41 reciation of his outstanding services and his safety record at the water plant. Mr. Peters thanked the commission for the plaque. Minutes of the meetings held November 13, 18, 22, 1963 were read. -1- • 0 • A motion was made by Commissioner Tarpley minutes be approved as read. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Thornton. Commissioner Young: The minutes of the meeting held November 18 on page 4 does not have a vote recorded on the motion to appoint • a Human Relations Board. There was also some corrections to be made in the minutes of the November 13 meeting. City Clerk, Mary Thornhill, advised that the corrections were made. • Mayor Hill called for a vote on the motion to approve the minutes as corrected. The motion was as follows: Grammer Yes Tarpley Yes Thornton Yes • Young Yes Hill Yes An ordinance amending Sec. 28-31 of the Code of Ordinances by repealing that part of auch section pertaining to the right-of way of S. W. 12th Avenue, and adopting a new section, was, read • by Attorney Walden. A motion was made by Commissioner Young this ordinance be passed on third and final reading. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Tarpley, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as fol- lows: • Grammer Yes Tarpley Yes Thornton Yes #Young Yes • Hill Yes Application for transfer of a 4 COP License from James M. Linden to Helen A. Bullen, 26 West Dania Beach Boulevard, was presented. Chief Smith: I have checked on the applicant and found everything in order and approved the transfer. • A motion was made by Commissioner Tarpley this application for transfer be approved on second reading. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Young, and the roll being called,, the Commissioner voted as follows: • Grammer Yes Tarpley Yes ' Thornton Yes Young Yes Hill . Yes • Mayor Hill: At the last meeting we tabled the request of Jack Bishirjian for a permit to erect a building on Lot 8, less W 11 , Block A, Park Hill, 230 South Federal Highway, until we received a report from the Fire Chief and the Building Inspector. Building Inspector Lindeman: After checking, he and the Fire Chief approved the plot plan without requiring a set-back in the rear inasmuch as there is a ten foot alley on the. side of the build- ing that can be used for fire protection. A motion was made by Commissioner Tarpley that permit be granted as recommended. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Young, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: -2- O Grammer Yes Tarpley Yes Thornton Yes Young Yes Hill Yes • Attorney Walden: I was asked at the last meeting to make a report'on taking steps to demolish a house on S. W. 7th Street. I wrote a letter to the City Manager which reads in part. it At the meeting of the City Commission of November 18, 1963 I was requested to prepare a report concerning a dilapidated building at 246 S. W. 7th Street. Actually, with respect to • the particular property, I. do not.recall being requested in recent months to write the usual demand letter to the owner concerning the removal,.of the building. . However, as a result of an investigation and discussion with Mrs. Thornhill, I find that Mr. Houston, while he was city manager,• had taken steps to have the building removed. The property is owned by an • estate which has two beneficiaries. The estate is represented by Mr. Fred Schmunk, a lawyer in Fort Lauderdale. I talked with Mr. Schmunk about: the matter today and he acknowledged previous requests from Mr. Houston that something be done. Mr. Schmunk indicated that his clients, namely the two benefic- iaries , wanted to cooperate with the city and I believe that something can be done which will satisfy the city and also avoid a long legal process of having the property removed by a special assessment procedure. I request that you obtain one of two informal bids from wrecking • companies as to the cost of demolishing the building and clearing the property. With such bids I believe that I can prevail upon Mr. Schmunk to have his clients contract with one of the wrecking firms to remove the building without further action being necess- ary on the part of the city." I talked with the lawyer-for the two beneficiaries and he knows the city wants the building removed. If he can find out what it . is going to cost, he will be able to prevail upon them to do it quickly. So if you will have the city manager get one or two bids and give them a guaranteed price, I will try to get him to give us the authority to go ahead. • A motion was made by Commissioner. Thornton that the City Manager be authorized to get two bids for removing the house located at 246 S. W. 7th Street. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Young, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as fol- 1ows : 1� Grammer Yes Tarpley Yes Thornton Yes }' Young Yes Hill Yes • Cityer, Tubbs Mana g presented a bill from E. H. Whitson Company in the amount of $790.00 for air conditioning the police department as per contract. He recommended payment of the bill as the job was complete. A motion was made by Commissioner Grammer the bill as presented be approved for payment. The motion was-sseconded by Commissioner Thornton, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as. follows: Grammer Yes Tarpley Yes Thornton Yes ;< Young Yes r : Hill Yes -3- . 0 Attorney Walden: At the last meeting of the commission, Mr. Rhodes, the operator of the restaurant on the fishing pier, presented the city with two bills for taxes and asked that the city consider paying them. I checked with the tax assessor to 0 find out the basis of the assessment for each of the bills. One bill is for $83.21 which represents the assessment of the inventory of fixtures and equipment. Under the terms of the lease Mr. Rhodes ought to pay that. I suggest that bill be re- turned to him for payment. s The other bill in the amount of $105.32 in effect is the assess- ment on the leasehold interest of the restaurant part of the pier. While the lease was written about two years ago, it is silent specifically on this. However, I think it was the intent for the city to. pay that kind of tax. So I recommend that the A city pay the bill for $103.32. Recently the operator of the, Bait and Tackle Shop presented similar bills. One in the amount of $23.78 ought to be paid by the tenant under the terms of the lease. The other in the amount of $81.07 ought to be paid by the city. Actually, you have a later lease on this and that type of tax is covered under that lease. So to sum it up, on the restaurant I recom- mend the bill for $83.21 be returned to Mr. Rhodes for payment, and that the city pay the bill for $103.32. On the tackle shop I recommend the bill for $23.78 be returned to the tenant for pay- ment and that the city pay the bill for $81.07. A motion was made by Commissioner Young that the city pay the tax bills for $105.32 for the restaurant and $61.07 for the tackle shop as recommended by Attorney Walden. 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 City Manager Tubbs: You have all been handed a drawing showing a layout of the city and the recommendation for additional street lights. I would like to recommend that we get started adding the additional lights as it will probably be next summer before they are all in. There may be a few minor changes or modifications. But I would like to see something started. This recommendation is for approximately 250 additional lights throughout the city. I would also like to recommend that white way lights be extended one block south and one block north on Federal Highway, from the ones that were installed last year. We have the money in the bud- get to do this. I would like to be authorized to go ahead with the engineering at this time. Commissioner Thornton: Do we have enmugh money in the budget for all the proposed lights? City Manager Tubbs : No. We have $5,000 for US 1 lighting. Commissioner Young: The plan calls for $6,250 for addition to the residential lighting, of a total for the entire program of $9,080 for the entire year. This is quite an improvement in our resident- ial lighting and will be a big help to our police department. How- ever the months of September, October and November are passed, which L is one-fourth of our budget year. The majority of these lights pro- bably will not be installed in another three to six months, so we will be within our budget allocation. -4- ® Commissioner T r le I will make a motion that we � P Y: proceed with this project immediately and authorize the city manager to go ahead with the engineering on the lights for Federal highway. 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 It now being 8:20 P. M. , Mayor Hill called for any additional bids in the audience for the purchase of police cars. There being no more bids, a motion was made by Commissioner Young that the time for accepting bids for the purchase of police cars be closed. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Tarpley and carried. City Manager g Tubbs presented bide as follows : HOLLYWOOD FORD, INC.

A motion was made by Commissioner Thornton this ordinance be pass- 0 ed on second reading. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Grammer, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted as follows: Brammer Yes Tarpley Yes • Thornton. Yes Young Yes Hill Yes City Manager Tubbs: After tabulating the bids be find Hollywood Ford, Inc. , the lowest and best bidder, and recommend the purchase • of three cars from them. One car at $2,006.01; two cars at $2,004.56; less trade-ins at $850.00 and $900.00. Also, 250 HP engines, add $49.90 each unit. A motion was made by Commissioner Young to purchase three cars from Hollywood Ford, Inc. as recommended by City Manager Tubbs. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Tarpley, and the roll being called, the Commissioners voted asfollows: Grammer Yes +` Tarpley Yes Thornton Yes Young Yes Hill Yes N F., Mr. Tanner, from Sunshine Villas: We would like to inquire as to the present status of the proposed sanitary sewers for the east side of the City. City Manager Tubbs: Since you were here at the last meeting, we have contacted the engineer, who has been under contract with the city since 1957, and has prepared several proposals for the city. He .is now bringing up to date a feasibility report and making studies on the revision he made in 1960. ,. -6- v` This will be brought up through 1963 showing our projected in- come. After that is done, we will make application to two gov- ernment agencies. One is the Water Pollution Board and the other the Housing and Home Finance Agency in Atlanta. Commissioner Young: If you will please bear with us, as you real- ize there are miles of red tape when you are dealing with a govern- ment agency. Mr. Tanner: We realize that if you had everything ready at the present time it would,be sometime before you could get started. That is why we are so concerned because it is more serious than • the people on the west side of the city realize. It is definitely a health hazard to the entire community. Buildings are being erect- ed in this area all the time, which means. that the marl sub-strata will very soon become a mess of saturated sewage unless something is done. We have a very 'serious problem of our own. We hope you • will continue as diligently, as possible to get the sewers. Mr. Lucas: I would like to ask some questions about the annexation. First of all I do not understand why if we are annexed into the City of Dania, it is going to be approximately ten months before we • can have garbage pick-up. It seems like an excessive length of time. When will the election be held for the people to vote on whether they want to come into Dania? How long before we can expect to have City of Dania water? We are a. bunch of thirsty people at the other end of the street. This is one of the main reasons we are interested in coming into Dania. How long before we can have • a sub-station for fire protection? This will reflect upon our fire insurance rates. How far will the ,lighting system be brought down Griffin Road? Attorney Walden: I was instructed by the Commission to write this ordinance as quickly as possible. I have not actually discussed it in any great detail with the commission. We have a provision in the ordinance for garbage collection, which states as quickly as possible, but not later than September 1, 1964. In drafting the ordinance I did not discuss this with the commission. But from my limited know- ledge, it seemed the City may, have to consider buying additional equipment. How long that will take I do not know. The annexed territory does not become liablb for any taxes until that time, so that is a problem. The next question is that of an election date. To his knowledge this is the first city to try annexation since .the state ordinance was amended in 1961. The ordinance is not clear qs to whether the city can use the county registration or whether we will have to ask the people in the area to come to city hall and register. I have written the Attorney General to get a ruling so that an election. can be held before November 29, 1964. In checking with Mrs. Gates, she did not know either as she has l[ never had the question come up before. Commissioner Thornton: On the question of the election. We will need some people from the area to, work on the election board. We would like to have at least twelve names of people that are qual- ified and can work so the be appointed y can pp when we pass the ord- inance on final reading. F =7- • 0 ® Attorney Walden: On the matter of garbage collection. The City was involved in a lawsuit about a year ago with the Broward County Health Department on the dump we have west of the city. We were allowed to proceed temporary until we could see what the county incineration program would be. I think the city will be influenced a great deal on whether or not they will use incinerators, as to • what equipment they buy. The water is going to depend on the engineering and the money. The commission has to decide on what they are going to do about that. • Commissioner Thornton: We cannot spend money to have engineering done and plans drawn until we find out whether the majority of the people want to be annexed. We cannot give you a definite date to- night as to when you will receive water. • Mr. Lucas: I understand from a reputable engineering firm that completer plans for this area can be ready for advertising for bids within 90 days. So you can have that ready for an engineer as soon as you know we are going to be annexed. Attorney Walden: The ordinance states that immediately after an- nexation the city will furnish police and fire protection. Commissioner Thornton: We do not have money in this budget to build a fire station. We will have to wait until the next budget. Commissioner Young: I do not want you people to be mislead on this. If we find there is a definite need for some of these things we can re-allocate funds and advertise for bids for such things as a garbage truck. As far as, afire sub-station is concerned-- it is very possible that the type and size will have something to do with it. If it does not have to be too large, it may be possible by passing a resolution allocating certain funds, that can be arranged ahead of time. Mr. Lucas: It seems the big thing we are confronted with is water. t:. You do not know how long that will take. We may be in the city and be without water six months or even a year. � There seems to be no guarantee as to when the city will give us water. Commissioner Young: In the very near future the expansion of our ' water plant will be under way. The only thing that is going to be coming up for consideration is the possibility of floating revenue. bonds to liquidate the initial cost of the mains, thqt would be the only major thing involved. Mr. Lucas: In the event we do not come into the city, is there any way you could furnish us with water? If we should come into the city will there be a service charge for the water coming into the house even though a person does not connect to it? Or, will it be r; like any other city, when you move in the water will be hooked up for a normal charge? When they were talking about bringing the Playland water plant in it was going to run some $200 to $300 for each lot, which would be added on your taxes. if you hooked on to the water there would be a charge of $100. How will this be done by the city? -8- r : • Commissioner Young: My recommendation on that would be this. That is the purpose of floating revenue bond issues. Revenue bonds are the type bonds that are repaid by the debt seraice created by the money earned from the sale of water. In other words, if it is han - dled in this way there will not be a front foot assessment. I hope �- it is done that way. • Commissioner Thornton: The lighting plan submitted here tonight extends out Griffin Road to the present city limits. Mrs, Rosenberg: The main reason for this annexation is for water. • The petition that was made up stated that the people would also get free garbage collection. That it would come automatically as soon as we were annexed. City Manager Tubbs: That would be almost impossible because we • only have enough equipment to take care of the present city limits. if the election is favorable and the area is annexed, at that time the commission will allocate funds to purchase equipment. Mrs. Rosenberg: If the bonds are floated, will the people pay so much per front foot for water lines? City Manager Tubbs: Mr. Young stated that in his opinion there would ne no assessment against the front footage to the property owners. He said they would be revenue retiring bonds-- in other words-- revenue produced from the sale of water would retire the • bonds. However, there would be a meter charge of $65.00 and a $10.00 deposit, which is refundable. Commissioner Young: There are three kinds of bonds. One is revenue retiring, which means the bonds are paid off.by the • monies received from the facilities of servicing. There is an- other class called special assessment bonds. That is where the money is used and an assessment made against the property. When that is paid the bonds are liquidated. Another is where .a water or sewer district is created and you have what is known as general obligation bonds which calls for a referendum for the simple reason that is the same as a mortgage on your property. The people have to vote on that. My recommendation, which I think is most equitable and easier would be for revenue retiring bonds. It would appeal .to me if I were in the area. Attorney Walden: Let me make one suggestion. Over the years on any major financial matters the city has always consulted Mr. Hodge with the B. J. Van Ingen Company. I would suggest that you write him to come up and advise you on the matter of bonds. He is al- ways glad to do this, and it is better to get started on the right foot in matters of this type. Mr. Lucas: What will be the millage rate? Commissioner Thornton: our present y:illage is 5 1/2 mills. The millage rate is set each year when you adopt your budget. ;` '` -9- ® Mr. Albert: Does the commission plan to do anything about the high railers on the FEC through the city? There was an awful close call this morning at the Dixie Highway crossing. The City of Miami trys to do something about it. • Mr. Marino: We have a lot of planes flying very low over the city. Can something be done about it? City Manager Tubbs: He had other complaints and checked on it. It seems they are lengthening the run-ways on the east/west pattern. • It is only temporary, they should be back to normal flying in a short time. Commissioner Tarpley: They are extending the runways on both ends. They are only 6,800 feet and are being extended to 8,400 feet. in • fact Eastern has discontinued their jet service until the runways are completed. Mr. Lucas: I understand the Commissioners are going to be at the meeting of the Griffin Civic Association on December 10. The rea- son he brought up so many questions tonight was to give you some idea of the questions that will be brought up at this meeting so you can be prepared. I will appreciate it very much if you will have some of these answers when some one ask them at the meeting. if you can give direct answers it will be woth the effort. I do not think you will .have any trouble annexing the area if you will • do a good selling job for us. We have 600 names on the petitions. There are 800 families involved. Chief Smith: I would like to say that we were fortunate today to arrest two teenagers that had been pulling robberies on our mer- chants down town. We have a statement from them admitting the thefts and he thought the business people would like to know about it. Mayor Hill: Thank you for the information. You are doing a good job. Commissioner Grammer: . I have five names to recommend to the Com- mission for appointment to the Human Relations Board. They are: M. Sterling Collins, Chester A. Byrd, James Adams, George Knob- lock and Rev. William Jennings. Commissioner Thornton: I will make a motion to accept the recommendation. Commissioner Tarpley: I will second the motion. •, ' Attorney Walden: At the last meeting we passed a resolution with- out it being read. I have prepared one for what I thought you had in mind to do. I would like to read it wt this time. Attorney Walden read a resolution constituting and appointing an advisory board to be known as Human Relations "Board; and defining generally the purposes and duties of such board; and providing for a method of appointing members of the board; and providing for the authority of the members to make recommendations to the City Com- mission on matters within the scope of the authority of the board. -10- y , Commissioner Tarpley: • I will make a motion that the resolution be passed as of November 18, 1963. 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 • Commissioner Young: We have a motion and a second to appoint the five man board as recommended. I would like to say that this is the first I have heard the five names mentioned. I move that the five names mentioned be tabled until we can have a conference and look over the names. Commissioner Grammer: I believe the Mayor appointed Mr. Tarpley and me to work with these people and make a recommendation to the commission. I would be glad to have the commission check the names but we should get this board to work, we have been stalled for quite some time now. I think the sooner we get it to work the better it . will be. We have checked the names and that is .why we made this recommendation. I have a letter from the West Side Civic Club rec- ommending the two names submitted tonight. Commissioner Young: Would you like to re-phrase the motion and • approve the two names that .you mentioned; I will be glad to with- draw my motion to table. . Commissioner Thornton: There is a motion and second on the floor. Commissioner Young: The motion to table supersedes the motion to appoint. Commissioner Grammer: Do you mean to appoint two of this. time? Commissioner Young: If you wish to at this time to give us time to check the other three names. I am not acquainted with some .of them, and I don't think some of the other s are either. Mr. Tarpley said he did not know about one of the names. Commissioner Tarpley: There is one that I did not know was being considered. Commissioner Grammer: The only thing about postponing it is the ' fact we were put on the committee and I feel we should pick .the . ` names. Several people put their names in and I told them their •: : names would be put in, but they may be turned down. Under them circumstances may not want their names brought up. COmmissioner Young: Frankly, when you are doing committee work yo u are perfectly within your right to make recommendations to the com= mission. However, it is up to the commission to make the final decision on all matters. a ® Commissioner Grammer: Don't you feel you know these other people as well as you do the other two? Commissioner Young: No, frsnkly I don't. Attorney Walden: Mr. Young's motion has to have a second to have a vote on it. Commissioner Tarpley: Mr. Grammer this is a new board and I cannot see any real rush on it. I would like to extend the Courtesy to Mr. Young to table this until he has a chance to consider the names. s Commissioner Grammer: I will extend the courtesy if no one is named tonight. This is my recommendation and I expect to vote to accept or not accept them. I was appointed to make a recom- mendation and this is it. Let's get the board to work. If Mr. Young has some names he would like to put in, we will be glad to consider them and vote on them individually. Commissioner Young: I mentioned one name to Mr. Grammer. . The gentleman's name is Charles DeMuzzio. Commissioner Grammer: I had eight names, and I could only put in three. This is my recommendation, you don't have to accept them if you don't wish to. Commissioner Young: I know when you read the names tonight it was the first time I had heard anything about ony one of the names. ,I< Commissioner Tarpley: Mr. Grammer was just making his report as a committee. ib Attorney Walden: To get this over with I suggest you get a second on the motion to table: Commissioner Tarpley: I will second the, motion to table until the next regular meeting. Mayor Hill called for a roll call vote on the motion to table. The Commissioners voted as follows: Grammer ; No Tarpley Yes Thornton No Young Yes Hill No ". Mayor Hill called for a roll call vote on the original motion to appoint the five man board as recommended. The Commissioners voted -' as follows: u r Grammer Yes {' Tarpley I would like to make a state- • ment before I vote. Originally ' there was supposed to be a three man board and we decided it would be' too small, so we decided on a five man board with the under- standing if it was necessary, ad= �; ' ditional members would; be added. ,: . . I would like to have the record :., show this. I will vote Yes on ' the ,five man board as recommend- ed under the circumstances. 12 Thornton Yes } Young Yes Hill Yes Commissioner Grammer: This is not a permenant board, it is ap- pointed for one year. Next year you will appoint another board the same as the zoning board or any other board. Commissioner Tarpley: I am very glad to see the gap on the other side of the table filled• it was quite a gap in more ways than one, not only in space but his knowledge and ability on this com- mission and to the city as a whole. I am very glad to see Mr. Thornton sitting with us again. . There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. Mary Thornhill City Clerk Vera L. Hill Mayor-Commissioner F •.Y l r
