meetings 5. B.S.O. Report Nothing to report other than still trying to get another position assigned to Dania Beach and appreciation of City support
6. Old Business (Chris Barile) -Signage along cut-off canal to replace those damaged including those damaged by hurricane. Need permits and multi-jurisdictional approval to replace those
signs. -Bridge at US1 and cut-off canal: six-seven foot tidal change causing boats to hit barriers under the bridge. DOT involvement; MAB obtaining reports to ask County for grants to change the diversion of the water under the bridge. -Clive met with City Manager’s Office a few years ago re: replacement of
approximately 3,000 feet of signage in front of Derecktor, G&G Marine, Haboure Town Marina re: speeding etc., including from Marine Max up to IT Parker. Currently Slow Speed; need Idle Speed/No Wake in that area. -Encouraging Board members to become more involved including coming to City Commission meetings and writing letters to Commissioners.
7. New Business -Broward County Waterway Clean-up a few weeks ago. Carole Stokrocki asks
why is MAB not involved to possibly staff the trash basin, etc. Per Chris Barile, divers were requested at County Summit, DB MAB members either did not or could not volunteer. MAB suggested more announcements from the County and further in advance. -Suggested by Ron Brozic for City to do our own beach clean-up, even if just
picking up cigarette butts off the beach. -Two types of clean-ups: waterway cleanup using boats and divers vs. walking beach clean-up and Beach Raker services (already provided daily by the City). 8. Comments
-Chris Barile shared water canal stats and expressed opinion that the City fails to acknowledge the importance of Dania Beach being a marine community. Carol Stokrocki agreed. 9. Adjournment
Motion: By Carol Stokrocki, seconded by Glenn Harrington Minutes revised based on comments at the April 2017 meeting.
