1. Discussion concerning lease of pier restaurant.
City Manager Jewell presented the information requested by the
Commission at the previous workshop meeting regarding square
footage, comparisons to the Beach Grille, etc.
Donald V. Streeter, present at the invitation of the Commission , j
gave a brief personal history and said he feels confident that he
can improve the image and appearance of the pier and restaurant to
make a profit as well as make the City proud.
City Manager Jewell asked for clarification of the Commission ' s i ,►-
intention, whether to keep the operation of the pier and lease the
restaurant or to lease both. Commissioner Cook said she
understood they were only to lease the restaurant for now.
Mr. Streeter wanted the whole package, feeling that the conflicts
of a joint facility with two masters would be too confining.
Asked what changes he planned to make , Mr. Streeter said he
planned to refinish the inside decor, improve the bait shop and
y utilize the pier to service patrons . He also stated that he would
give first right of employment to citizens of Dania.
Commissioner McElyea voiced the opinion that the whole package
should be considered .
Vice Mayor Byrd said he originally wanted to keep the pier
operation, but was flexible.
Mayor Bertino, recalling problems with pier operators in the past,
and envisioning the pier as a recreational facility, said he was
reluctant to let the pier go, but might consider it if the terms
were right.
After determining that Mr. Streeter was interested in the entire
project only, and not just the restaurant, the Commission directed
City Manager Jewell to meet with Mr. Streeter and City Attorney
Adler to renegotiate terms (responsibility for pier maintenance ,

package. He was also directed to check with the next highest
bidder on the restaurant only.

2. Discussion concerning parking meter maintenance contract.

proposed collection process. He recommended a one year agreement

j to look at the revenues after one year and justification for the
purchase of additional meters.

Ron Stroyne, of Stroyne Bros . Co. Inc. of Miami , described the
Proposal for the collection and maintenance of all parking meters
as well as the purchase of 80 additional meters at a cost of $5. 62
per meter per month (592 meters) . He said the 80 meters would be
ordered at the signing of the agreement. '
i
After discussing the terms of the proposal , the Commissioners
generally agreed with the concept. Discussion revealed that,
I although Dania citizens possessing parking permits are allowed to
park at any metered spot , the Commissioners liked the sticker
parking slots currently existing.
City Manager Jewell said he would see that a certain portion of
unmetered permit-only spaces are reserved. He also said he would
3 provide the Commissioners with monthly printouts comparing the
program with the previous year.
3 . Review of applicants for the position of Public Works Director.
At the request of Commissioner Hirsch, who could not attend this
workshop due to an emergency, this item was postponed.
