resolution as required by the City charter and Section
200.065. Florida Statutes, approving the millaqe rate
necessary to be levied for the fiscal year 1990-91.
City Manager Flatley mentioned that the millage wilI remain

nulti-year capital improvement program' a five year sewer
influx and infiltration program, hiring some professional

Assistant City Attorney
the nillaqe rate of 5.78
Mayor McElyea opened the public hearing. AI Spies requested
clarification on whether the citizens in Dania can
anticipate an increase in property taxes even though the
millage rate has remained the same and stated that several
citizens in Danla contacted him with confusion over the
advertisement published in the newspaper.
At Commissioner Grace's request, City Manager Flatley
explained that the millage rate stays the same but because
the assessed valuation has climbed to 2.35t over the
rolfback there is an increase in property values. Mr.
Flatley mentioned that people have not taken into
consideration the annual inflation rate of 4.7* and that
with the 2.35t assessed valuation increase, the city is
stil1 not keeping up with inflation from last year.
Vice Mayor Mikes concurred with Mr. FIatley's presentation
of the increased assessed property valuation due to the
increase in inflation and mentioned that very few cities in
Broward County have been able to not increase their millage
rate as Dania has.
5REGUITAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 25, 1990
Commissioner Bertino mentioned that people get confused
because they don't understand that the millage rate wiII
remain the same but based on whether a person's property
valuation is increased or decreased by the County will
determine if they pay an increase or a decrease in property
taxes each year.
City CIerk Mullikin encouraged citizens to contact their
city officials regarding questions they may have on the
reqirirements of the trim bill as the advertising
requirements can be very confusing. Mrs. Muffikin stated
th;t the legislature, in their past session, was considering
doing away ,itt tte advertising requirement when the millage
is not being increased. Mrs. Mullikin clarified that some
people will be paying more in property taxes and some less
iepentllnq upon ne* construction and the assessed valuation
of their home based on the county's appraisal ' Mrs '
Mullikj-n mentioned that Dania will use the same millage rate
of 5.78 per 1,000 doflar valuation of property but since the
county his increased property value there will be an
increase in revenue to Dania.

5.1 Assistant City Attorney Ryan read the title of
ordinance amending Section 5.36. Articfe 5, Chapter
"i ii," Code of ordinances relating to fences in the
City of Dani a.
Will A11en, Growth Management Director, mentioned that
there has been severaf discussion aL workshop meetings
on this ordinance and gave his recommendations on the
items of concern as follows:
1. To allow a 6' fence on the street sideyard;
2. Regarding the fence exLending to the sidewalk or
requiiing a l foot setback; Mr. A1len stated that
requiring the fence to the sidewalk would probably
create less of an area for catching of debris opposed
to landscaping requirements on the 1 foot setback'
3. To require the decorative side of the fence to the
public;
4. On where to measure the height of the fence; Mr'
Allen stated the fairest thing is to measure it from
the inside of the fence instead of from the grade of
the sidewalk as he feels this is the most equitable way
for everyone to have a fence that they can use at the
same height.
Wil] Allen mentj-oned that the other option for the
Commission to consider would be to leave the fence
requests under the variance procedure and deal with
each request individuallY.
Commissioner Bertino-Yes

plans would have to be submitted and reviewed in order
ior Mr. Mirrer to receive a permit and that no plans
have been submitted.
7.2 Commissioner Bertino requested a response from
Tug-boat Annie's regarding why they have not removed
th6 temporary tent that was to be removed as of
'Iu1y27.
Mr. David Graham stepped forward to explain that the
temporary tent in question lras dj-scovered to be a
permanent structure as a permit Has obtained a long
ti*. "go for the slab. Mr. Graham stated that he
submitled a plan to the City for construc'tion of a
permanent tin roof over the slab and that he was
idvised that he would have to go thru site plan
approval. Mr. Graham mentioned that the site plan is
the same as was approved in 1981 but since this
structure exceeds 500 feet, it requires site plan
review and that the site plan process takes 90 days '
IREGUIjAR MEETING SI:PTEMBER 25, 1990
l{r. Graham submitted two proposals to the Commission;
First, that the Commission a11ow some flexibility in
the slte plan approval process so that he could remove
the tent immediately and construct the pernanent tin
roof before the site plan is reviewed; or secondly, to
permit him an extension on removal of the tent as there
is another billfish tournament and boat show that will
be starting in 10 days.
Will A11en responded that there was a permit issued for
the slab but he wasn't sure if the tent was included i-n
the permit as this was approved a long time ago. Mr.
A1len stated that he advised Mr. Graham that the entire
site plan will have to reviewed not just the site that
the tent is sitting on. Mr. Al1en mentioned that there
is also the problem at Tugboat Annie's relating to the
expiration of the buildinq permit for Lhe extension of
the restaurant.
Commissioner Cook mentioned that in the best interest
of business in the City that Mr. Graham should probably
be given an extension on the tent for 6 months and by
that time the site plan would be in order and he could
construct the permanent structure.
Mr. Graham stated that his site plan has been updated
to show the tin roof that will be a permanent structure
over the slab area and that it is ready for submission
with all t-he exhibits required.

A motion was made by Commissioner Cook, seconded by
Commissioner Grace to waive the site plan review
requirement per code and a1]ow Tugboat Annie's to
construct a permanent structure over the pavilion at
Tugboat Annie's and to remove the existing tent as soon
as possible.
Wilf A11en gave an update on additional items to be
concluded in reference to buifdinq permits that have
been lssued at Tugboat Annie's and that the permits
have expired. Mr. Alfen stated that there has been
alot of work completed in the interior of the building
without the proper permits being issued and that Code
Enforcement is in the process of siting Mr- Graham for
these violations.
Vice Mayor Mikes expressed his opposition to approving
construction of this structure without the Commission
having the benefit of reviewing the plans.
Mr. Graham responded to the code violatlons by stating
that tenants in the building did some construction
Hithout the proper permits but that they are doinql
everythinq to comply with code at this time.
City Manager Flatley mentioned the problem with the
lack of acoustics with not constructing an enclosed
structure and that residents in the area wiff most
