Pipa, requesting permits to operate taxicabs in the City of Dania. Mr. Charles Springer of the Springer Motor Company was present and outlined to the commission their operation and what service they could render the City of Dania if awarded a permit or fran- chise to operate taxicabs in the city. ' Mayor Eby advised Mr. Springer and other applicants for permits to operate cabs in the city, that the commission would call a special meeting and have all the applicants present and see what could be worked out for the best interest of the city and the cab companies, and that they would be notified of the date. Commissioner Houston advised the commission that. he attended a meeting of the South Broward Hospital Board in which Mann Amb- ulance requested they be reimbursed for emergency ambulance calls for which they could not collect.. These calls are made by variRus cities and they are requesting each city and the county for some relief. It does not amount to too much, but when it involves cities and county it can be a lot of money for one operation: As most of us know -- an ambulance is quite an expensive operation, both from the standpoint of equipment and insurance. I would like for the commissioners to give this some thought and we can take some action on it as the meeting on October 20. The next meeting of the board is October 29 and I would like to have something to report back to them.

Mr. Broome stated that it could. Commissioner Houston stated that the last time we advertised for bids for the construction of the seawall we did not receive any bids, due to the fact of a holiday, and we authorized the . City Clerk to re-advertise. At that time we received!.some criticism from the newspapers, about people not bidding on fobs in Dania. It seems very evident tonight that contractors still like to do business with the City of Dania. One thing can be said about this-- when the work is completed and accepted by the City of Dania-- their money is ready for them. Mayor Eby stated that six bids were received tonight for the construction of the seawall, with a wide range in the bidding was evidence that the contractors were still interested in the bidding in the City of Dania. - 4 - CommissionerlHouston stated that with one new recreation build ing recently completed and another nearing completion there was a need for more chairs of the same type we bought before.

Attorney Walden advised that this could be done if the city so desired. Mayor Eby stated that it might be well for Mr. Hodge to review all our bonds and see if they could be invested in Water Revenue Bonds. A motion was made by Commissioner Houston authorizing the City Clerk to give Mr. E. C. Hodge with the B. J. Van Tngen Company, a list of bonds and ask for his recommendation as to the best way to invest this money; motion seconded by Commissioner McMillan and' carried. Mayor Eby stated that the Garden Club' was interested in beauti- fying the south east corner of the Community Park if we can arrange to have some good soil put in and large pieces of con- crete removed.
