That he personally hated to see him go, but when a man turns in a resignation, he must want to quit. I would like to ask Mr. Ubhaus if any one had handicapped him in any way in his work, that any time some one resigns he was blamed for interfering, and he would like it made clear at this time. -6- Mr. Ubhaus stated that no one had interferred or handicapped him in any way, in fact his association with the City had been very pleasant in every way.

There being .no further business the meeting adjourned. Luther Sparkman CHAIRMAN " Commissioner Houston stated that the zoning of this property had been held up because of the right-of-way for N. W. loth Street. All of that has been straightened out now. There was no particular hurry at the time as there was a deed restriction that took care of the portion that was subdivided. There can- , not be a building permit issued on part of the land until there is a plat of record. A motion was made by Commissioner Tubbs to advertise for a public hearing to be held before the commission April 7, 1958 at 8:15 P.M.; for the zoning of Shelter Isles; motion seconded by Commissioner McMillan, and the roll being called, the follow- ing commissioners voted: Elkins Yes Houston Yes McMillan Yes Tubbs Yes Eby Yes Bids for the construction of sidewalks on N.

Bids for the construction of an Adult Recreation Building, Public Rest Rooms and Dance Patio in Frost Park, were presented as fol- lows: ATLANTIC CONSTRUCTION & ENGINEERING $29,198.00 B & C CONSTRUCTION 24,360.00 -9- EARL CHILDS 25.528.00 CROUCH BROS. 26,386.00 JAMES CUSTER 29,605.00 GUS FRIBERG 27,805.00 HUGH PALMER 25,956.00 ' Mayor Eby called a caucas at 11:00 A. M. , Tuesday, April 18, and a special meeting at 12:00 noon to award the contract for the construction of sidewalks and recreation building. Easement deeds for radius and sidewalk were presented from Royal Castle, Inc. and Jack Scarberry. A motion was made by Commissioner• Houston that a resolution be drawn and passed accepting these deeds; motion seconded by Commissioner McMillan, and the roll being called the following commissioners voted: Elkins Yes Houston Yes McMillan Yes Tubbs Yes Eby Yes Commissioner Tubbs stated that he would like to see a definite truck route established in the city, that the heavy trucks were tearing up all the streets in Dania, especially the gasoline trucks. I would like to see the City Manager and the Chief of Police look into the situation and see what can be done. Commissioner Houston stated that at one time there were signs ' put up establishing truck routes, and that perhaps is the reason they are still using the back streets. We tried to keep them off the streets in the downtown area. But our streets are not built to take care of all the trucks we have today. Mayor .Eby asked the City Manager and Chief of Police to look into the situation and make a recommendation tothe commission. Commissioner Houston stated that sometime ago we received a copy of a resolution passed by the different communities in the county urging the completion of State 4oad 99 that he would like to make a motion that a resolution be drawn and passed urging the completion of State Road 9, also have the resolution state that Dania Beach Boulevard be made an access road when •State Road 9 is completed; motion seconded by Com- missioner McMillan, and the roll being called, the following commissioners voted: Elkins Yes Houston Yes McMillan Yes Tubbs Yes Eby Yes Commissioner Houston stated that he would like to see something done about marking graves intthe cemetery until the family has time to purchase a permanent marker. That he had occasion several days ago to go to . the cemetery with a family and he could see why people would have trouble locating a burial. I would like to see the City Manager contact some of the under- takers and get some of the temporary markers they use, and put them in the cemetery until such time a permanent marker can be purchased and placed in the cemetery. Commissioner Houston stated that the parks committee recommends authorizing the City Manager to move trees from the right-of-way of the sidewalk to be constructed along Dixie Highway, and place them at Dania Beach. Also, authorize the City Manager to pur- chase clean fill to be placed at the 30 Acre Park and along Dixie Highway, where the trees are to be removed. The price of -10- this fill will be .75 per cubic yard dozed in place. I do not think you can buy it any cheaper. Another thing is the wiring at the ball park. Some of the old wiring can be used, how much, is hard to tell. I cannot see how any electrician can bid on this job. We also have to get grass planted and fer- tilized. We need two street lights along the right of way on the south side of the .street. I would like to see FPL notified immediately so that they can start work on this project. There are two poles that will have to be moved. A motion was made by Commissioner Tubbs authorizing the City ' Manager to go ahead with the recommendation of the parka com- mittee, for the removal of trees, purchase of fill, wiring and planting grass; motion seconded by Commissioner Tubbs, and the roll being called, the following commissioners voted: Elkins Yes Houston Yes McMillan Yes Tubbs Yes Eby Yea Commissioner Houston stated that a back stop has to be btLilt at the 30 Acre Park, that we had thought at one time we could do it with city employees, but we are too busy, and will have to advertise for bids for this work. A motion was made by Commissioner Tubbs authorizing the City Manager to advertise for bids for a back-stop and fence for the ball diamond at the 30 Acre Park, bids to be received until 8;30 P.M. April 7, 1958; motion seconded by Commissioner McMillan, and the roll being called, the following commissioners voted:. Elkins Yes Houston Yes ' McMillan Yes Tubbs Yes Eby Yes Commissioner Houston stated that Mr. Rpynolds did not have plans and specifications for the concession stand, press box and restrooms ready, that we would have to wait a few days on that. The City Manager could go ahead with getting prices for new lights for the ball field. Commissioner Houston stated that he noticed an article in the newspaper where Commissioner McMillan and City Manager Malley had contacted Mr. Souder relative to mosquito control. There was also a quote in this paper from me, which was incorrect. I have never at any time been opposed to spending money for mosquito control. I do think there is too much emphasis put on mosquitoes. The thing we have to fight are the sand flies. The county will not do any spraying for sandflies. They do not fly at the same time, when you have mosquitoes, you do not have sand flies, and when you have .sand flies you do not have mosquitoes. I am not against any thing we can do to get rid of a situation like this. We have about exhausted every thing we can ,,do. I do believe if we can have some of the low lying lots around the city filled it will do a lot toward getting rid of mosquitoes. I am not a mosquito man, if some one that knows what to do can give me some idea what we can do I am all for it. If there is some way we can give the people some relief, and it does not coat too much money, I am all for it. We have not had an awful lot of mosquitoes in the last two years. I think the building activity toward the east has had a lot to do with it. Places like South Miami, Hialeah and some sections of Broward County have had a lot mote mosquitoes than we have. If there is any way we can help I would like to see it done. I want to spend money for any thing that will be of service to the community. I would like to see a further check made. We have got to get something, at the present time we do not have anything. I do not want to be quoted saying I am against mosquito control. -11- Mayor Eby stated there were a lot of different views on how to control mosquitoes and sandflies, and I would like to see City Manager Malley inquire about some of them and make a re- commendation as to what we can do. City Manager Malley stated that Mr. Souder advised that he had something in mind for sand fly control that he was going to present to the County Commission soon. That he could not do anything about it last year as there was no allocation for it. ' Commissioner Tubbs stated that several years ago there was .an extensive survey made by both the State and Fedoral Government on sandflies. Their money ran out and they all went back to Washington. They did find out that �the only way you can control them is to kill the larva inthe muck. Commissioner McMillan stated that Mr. Souder advised he and the City Manager that he was going to the County Commission and ask for a draglina and permanently ditch this area. Due to a CAA regulation theyccould not spray last year. But that he should have something to tell us in a few weeks about sandfly erad- ication. I do believe any thing we can. do toward cutting weeds, or filling lots will help a great deal in mosquito control. Commissioner Houston stated that he thought we should do some- thing as soon as possible, because we will be called upon to spray when they have ball games, and occasionally around the schoold, and we do not have anything to work with at the present time. A copy of recommendations from the Recreation Director for the summer recreational program was presented to the commissioners. One• of the items in t he r ecommendations is a ten (10) cent fee per lesson per child for swimming lessons. This charge has not been made in previous years. A motion was made by Commissioner Tubbs that the recommendations as submitted by the recreation director for the summer recreation program be adqpted; motion seconded by Commissioner McMillan, and the roll being called, the following commissioners voted: Elkins Yes Houston Yes McMillan Yes Tubbs Yes Eby Yes There being no fuirther business, on motion and vote, the meeting adjourned.• MARY AORNHILL CITY CLERK FRANK E.
