I
I BOULEVARD, I WOULD INVITE YOU TO PLEASE FIND A FEW MINUTES
AND SEE FOR YOURSELF WHAT A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION THE. HOUSING
AUTHORITY HAS MADE TO THE N.W. SIDE OF DANIA. ENCLOSED IN
THE PACKAGE IS THE LATEST FIELD REPORT SUBMITTED TO OUR
OFFICE BY THE FIRM OF' GOMEZ AND PEREZ ARCHITECTS AND
PLANNERS. THIS IS A TURNKEY PROJECT WHICH MEANS THAT THE
DEVELOPER MUST FINANCE THE E;N'I'IRE PROJECT'. THE DEVELOPER
DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY MONEY FOR THE PROJECT UNTIL HUD HAS
APPROVED THE SITE AS WELL AS THE: HOUSING AUTHORITY. THIS
SITE IS BEING MONITORED BY THE FIRM OF GOMEZ AND PEREZ, WHO
WAS HIRED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS '1'0 ACT AS THE

CONCERNS, AND THE PROJECT IS MOVING TO COMPLETION.
CONCERNING TIL ' LITIGATION INVOLVING THE DANIA HOUSING
AUTHORITY AND THE RECENT APPOINTMENTS MADE BY THE MAYOR, THE
HOUSING AUTHORITY WAS SUED BY GLORIA DALY AND PATRICIA DAVIS.
LEGAL SERVICES ARE BEING PAID BY MAYOR MC ELYEA. I HAD HELD
SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH THE MAYOR, CITY ATTORNEY, AND THE CITY
MANAGER IN AN ATTEMPT TO SETTLE THIS MATTER. TO NO AVAIL,
THE MEETINGS WERF. USELESS AND THE; SUGGESTED PROPOSALS WERE
NOT ADDRESSED. THE FIRST LAW SUIT, JUDGE COHEN RULED IN FAVOR
OE' DALY AND DAVIS. BUT DUE TO SEVERAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF TEIF:
LAW SUIT AND BEING A CASE OF' FIRST IMPRESSIONS, THE HOUSING
AUTHORITY FELT THE DECISION WAS NOT AS CLEAR CUT AS THE
DECISION RENDERED. THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS GAVE THE
HOUSING AUTHORITY ATTORNEY THE RIGHT TO FILE AN APPEAL, WHICH
HE HAS EXERCISED.
.,1. CONCERNING THE; PATRICIA DAVIS APPOINTMENT, MS. DAVIS WAS
TERMINATED FROM THE HOUSING AUTHORITY PROGRAM FOR FAILURE TO
REPORT INCOME WITHIN TEN WORKING DAYS. SHE RECEIVED A LUMP
SUM PAYMENT WHICH TOTALED OVER $7,000.00. MS. DAVIS NEVER

UNREPORTED INCOME. ONF OI' THE TWO FAMILIES REPORTED TO

BECAUSE OF HER 'TELEPHONE: CALL WHICH INITIATED THE
INVLSTIGATION. THE HOUSING AUTHORITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
e
e
TERMINATING FAMILIES WHO HAVE COMMITED FEDERAL. FRAUD. TBIS
IS A FEDERAL LAW AND SERIOUS PENALTIES COULD BE IMPOSED
AGAINST THE HOUSING AUTHORITY IF WE DID NOT ACT ACCORDINGLY.
TO DATE, THE HOUSING AUTHORITY HAS TERMINATED APPROXIMATELY
EIGHT TO TEN FAMILIES THIS YEAR. THE HOUSING AUTHORITY WILL
CONTINUE TO TERMINATE FAMILIES WHO VIOLATE FEDERAL LAW.
THE HOUSING AUTHORITY HAD SCHEDULED ITS ANNUAL MEETING ON

3 1. Meadowbrook drainage
1
John Calvin, City Engineer, explained that over the
past few months his office has discussed with the
Commission their master plan for drainage for the i
southeast section of the City and the Meadowbrook Lakes
drainage problem regarding whether or not to leave the
outfalls in the Meadowbrook Lakes. Mr. Calvin stated
that if he instituted just part of the master plan and
took Meadowbrook out of the lakes, it would be a major
undertaking that would cost around $175, 000 to run the
main line anticipated in the master plan. Mr. Calvin
stated that the City then requested that he come up
with an interim alternative to isolate the street
drainage from the Meadowbrook drainage.
r
Mr. Calvin stated that his office ran some hydraulic i
calculations based on a three year storm, which would b
j be the minimal storm, to see what effect there would
be. His office determined that the 36" drainage pipe
�•� along llth Street would work alright as it is large
enough to isolate the lake by keeping the parking areas
and street drainage separate and have sufficient
drainage available. However, the same calculations for
SE loth Street showed severe flooding as it is only a e
15" drainage pipe. Mr. Calvin mentioned that the pipe
works sufficiently right now as it is not a major
outfall pipe but only a collector pipe that
automatically discharges into a larger pipe that goes
into Meadowbrook Lakes .
i
I Mr. Calvin mentioned that replacing the mains on loth
would be the ultimate resolution but that they have
come u with an acceptable
P p proposal that would involve
? installing new catch basins . Mr. Calvin explained that
' the catch basins would be installed in the parking lot
area where each of the outfalls occur that would go
into the Meadowbrook Lakes with the idea that the catch
basins would serve the parking lot for the Meadowbrook
project . The existing catch basins in the street would
drain the street and create a small berm between the
two. They would also leave a small pipe connecting the
existing street catch basin with the new catch basin.
Mr. Calvin stated that these catch basins would work as j
pollution retardant structures that would trap the
greases and oils from going into the Meadowbrook Lakes.
The cost of installing these catch basins would be
around $15, 000 and the catch basins on llth would fit
right in with the overall southeast drainage plan. Mr.
Calvin mentioned that the catch basins on SE loth
WORKSHOP MEETING 1 NOVEMBER 27, 1990
C
`1
Street would be too small to utilize in the overall
system which would mean a loss to the City of around
$6,000.
Mr. Calvin informed Commissioner Cook that over the
past 8 years the pollution retardant devices for catch
basins have become a South Florida Water Management
requirement on every outfall structure that is
installed and that they were not required when
Meadowbrook Condominium was built in 1974 . Mr. Calvin
mentioned that the Meadowbrook Lake representatives
need to be aware that around 7096 of the oil and grease
# going into the Meadowbrook Lakes comes from their
parking lots and around 3096 comes from the city
streets. He mentioned that isolating the street
drainage from the parking lot drainage will not
necessarily solve the pollution problem without these
pollution retardant structures . Mr. Calvin recommended
to cut off llth Street from draining into the
Meadowbrook Lakes and install pollution retardant
devices on the existing catch basins on SE 10th at a
cost of around $1 , 500 per catch basin. Mr. Calvin
mentioned that the plug on 11th Street could then be
removed in the event of flooding.
i
The Commission generally agreed to have Mr. Calvin
obtain some bids to be brought back before the
Commission on installing the pollution retardant
devices on the existing catch basin on SE 10 Street and
plug off SE llth Street .

2. Jack Downs property - 801 Griffin Road
j City Manager Flatley reminded the Commission that Mr.
Downs was asked to remove a sign at the front of his
property for better visibility and to cut the grass
where cars are parked. Mr. Flatley asked Mr. Downs to
respond to these two items and to update the Commission
on a tentative completion schedule of his project .
Mr. Downs explained that he has removed the sign and
that he is cutting the grass around the building every
two weeks. Mr. Downs mentioned that the building is a
40,000 sq. ft . facility with 28, 000 sq. ft. on the
lower floor. Mr. Downs reported that he is almost
completely leased on the lower level and is in
negotiation with an individual who may lease the entire
upstairs portion which will be helpful in obtaining his r
construction loan. Mr. Downs explained that he could
not say exactly when he would be able to complete the
project. i
Vice Mayor Mikes stated that this y project is surrounded j
by a residential area and that citizens from the area
have complained about the trash and dumping problem.
Vice Mayor Mikes sug
gested ggested that Mr. Downs build a 3 '
earth berm around the area that is used for dumping
until the project is ready for completion.
s
j Mr. Downs expressed his desire to develop this project
I as approved once he obtains the financing that he needs
1 and the necessity of obtaining leases for renting the
building. Discussion then followed regarding Mr. Downs
completing 80 feet of landscaping on the site right
away. `
Vice Mayor Mikes expressed his concern with oil being
dumped on this property and the need for the City to
contact EQCB or for Mr. Downs to work with the property
owner to build a 3 ' berm to deter people from
contaminating the soil . Vice Mayor Mikes suggested the

p 7 t
owner that he is responsible
property know t p able ultimately
if the land is being contaminated.
City Attorney Adler requested Mr. Downs to give him the
property owners name so that Code Enforcement can site
him for the dumping and advise him to have it cleaned
up or EQCB will be called.
After further discussion, it was decided that Mr. Downs
would complete 80 ' of landscaping and contact the
property owner about constructing a berm to stop the
dumping and that the Commission would review the
improvements at the first regular meeting in January.

3. Airport mediator selection prior to November 30, 1990 1
City Manager Flatley presented a list of impartial
mediators that has been submitted from the South
Florida Planning Council and mentioned the need for the
City to make three selections.
jAfter further discussion, the Commission agreed to
choose number 5. Gerald Mager and number 6 Arthur B.
Parkhurst as mediators for the City. The third
selection was left for City Manager Flatley to make
after he speaks with Ed Curtis , City Counsel , who is in
Germany.
This regular commission meeting was then adjourned.
