DANIA BEACH INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM Background: An Innovation Ecosystem has many different platforms to support entrepreneurs and early-stage ventures. The Dania Beach Innovation Ecosystem includes: • Education • Location & Events • Mentorship • Incubation & Acceleration • Funding • Talent Update: We have worked with SCORE to provide another Dania Beach Business Academy program – “FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER”. The focus of the program is to help prospective homebuyers to be successful in the challenging South Florida real estate market and provide information on low-income housing programs in Broward County. This program will be promoted through city/CRA networks, the CRA network at AERO Partners, and the Dania Beach Housing Authority. The class topics will be as follows: • Feb 8: Home Buying in South Florida • Feb 15: Financing Your Home Purchase • Feb 22: Credit Repair and Tips on Saving Enough for the Purchase • Feb 29: Broward County Housing Programs and Habitat For Humanity Broward 2. RECRUITMENT FOR AN EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT In November 2023, Human Resources initiated the recruitment process for a CRA Executive Assistant. This full-time position is basically the combined replacement of Kha’s part-time Administrative Specialist position and Kisha’s full-time Strategic Communications position, as discussed in the FY2024 CRA Budget process. The interview panel unanimously selected Denise Greenstein. Ms. Greenstein worked for the City of Ft Lauderdale for the past 18 years in various senior administrative positions, including Executive Assistant for the Director of Planning and most recently, the Administrative Supervisor in the City Manager’s Office. Ms. Greenstein’s start date is February 12th. 3. STREETSCAPE VISIONING PLAN FOR WEST 1st AVENUE Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. (CGA) was engaged to develop a Streetscape Vision Plan for an Arts and Entertainment District centered along the West 1st Avenue corridor, from Stirling Road to NW 3rd Street. The objective of their scope of work is to develop a comprehensive streetscape vision plan for the central spine of the Dania CRA’s Arts and Entertainment District. The Board was advised that the City’s water main project along W 1st Avenue, from Stirling Road to Old Griffin Road provides a unique opportunity to enhance the streetscape of the corridor at a significantly lower cost than implementing the corridor improvements as a “stand-alone” project. In coordination with the CRA, CGA has conducted four workshops to discuss the project concept and receive stakeholder feedback on the desired environment and elements of the finished corridor. The workshops were scheduled as follows: • September 20: CRA Board Workshop • October 11: Public Arts Board Workshop • January 17: City Staff Workshop • January 18: General Public Workshop In addition to the formal Workshops, the CRA/CGA has been conducting one-on-one discussions with businesses and developers along the corridor that have expressed concerns about specific challenges associated with their operations. It is anticipated that CGA will have corridor concepts developed by April. 4. CRA ANNUAL REPORT According to Florida ss163.371, the Community Redevelopment Agency must publish an annual report not later than March 31st of each year. The FY2022 Annual Report was 88 pages and served to fulfill both the State reporting requirements and provide a city/district marketing piece. The report has been appreciated and well received by developers, investors, and businesses. Except for 6 pages, I wrote the entire report and expect to produce a publication of similar stature and quality for FY2023.

It is requested the Board authorize the CRA to publish such public notice and initiate an RFP process for the CRA- owned site at 608 West Dania Beach Boulevard. The CRA is also seeking the Board’s preference for the level of affordability. Background: Interested Party: On January 23, 2024, the CRA received a letter from the Miami-Dade Affordable Housing Foundation, Inc. (MDAHFI) expressing an interest in developing affordable housing units on the CRA-owned property at 608 West Dania Beach Boulevard. MDAHFI was established by the Housing Finance Authority of Miami-Dade County "to increase the ability of low- and moderate-income families in attaining home ownership by providing affordable mortgage financing and other related services." The Foundation works in partnership with like-minded organizations to foster economic and community development as stabilization of neighborhoods in need of quality housing. In Broward County, MDAFHI operates as Affordable Housing Development Solutions, Inc. (AHDS) On February 12, 2019 the CRA adopted Resolution No. 2019-CRA-003, authorizing a Development Agreement and restrictive covenants related to the At Home Dania Beach Affordable Housing program with AHDS for six (6) single-family building sites. All six houses were built and sold according to the terms of the Development Agreement. The Property: The CRA-owned property of interest is 608 West Dania Beach Boulevard is identified as BCPA Folio No. 5042 34 01 2520, (Site) The Site, located at the NWC of W Dania Beach Blvd and NW 6th Ave, encompasses 10,850sf (0.249 acres). Budgetary Impact MDAHFI is seeking the donation of the land, without additional financial support, to build the low-income/workforce affordable houses as preferred by the CRA.

The area is a combination of single family residences, two to four unit apartments and small multi family units. Most commercial development in the area is located along U.S. Highway 1 (a/k/a/ Federal Highway) with Industrial development along the Dixie Highway corridor. The market conditions have improved from the low end of the range reached in the 2008-2009 time frame. Values over the past 24 months have shown a good increase in value and this should slow as the interest rates have risen substantially over the past two years. The proximity to the Ft. Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades is an important aspect of the City of Dania Beach. Several areas of the city are experiencing redevelopment with new construction on Federal Highway and Dania Beach Boulevard. 108x104 10,850 Sq.Ft.

Two of the sales had a mixed use zoning and one sale had a City Center zoning but was similar to the subject. The other sales were adjusted upwards for inferior zoning utilizing a 10% upward adjustment. Sales 4 and 6 adjusted downward at 5% for the zoning differences. The sales occurred over the time frame of August of 2021 to March of 2023 and no adjustment for time was considered applicable based on the review of the older and newer sales. The sales ranged in size from a low of 3,400 to an assembled lot purchase of 14,893 and the sales were adjusted downward by 5% for the smaller sizes. Adjustments were minimal and consisted of land size and zoning adjustments with one adjustment for location. The adjusted sale price range was from $13.97 to $24.31 per square foot of land area with the majority of the sales in the $16.42 to $20.92 range. Based on the review of the sales data, a market value of $18.00 per square foot of land area was considered applicable. This indicates a market value of $195,300. 195,300 or $18.00 per Sq.Ft. Based on the review of the Sales Comparison Approach to Value, we estimated the market value at $195,300 This approach is considered to be most applicable in the valuation of this type of land. $195,300 August 8, 2023 20 Scope of Work Limiting cond./Certifications Narrative Addendum Location Map(s)Flood Addendum Additional Sales Photo Addenda Parcel Map Hypothetical Conditions Extraordinary Assumptions Hypothetical Conditions K.

Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania Beach, Fl 33004 Robert D. Miller, ASA 150 SE 12th Street, Suite 100, Ft. Lauderdale, Fl 33316 STATEMENT OF ASSUMPTIONS & LIMITING CONDITIONS - The appraiser will not be responsible for matters of a legal nature that affect either the property being appraised or the title to it. The appraiser assumes that the title is good and marketable and, therefore, will not render any opinions about the title. The property is appraised on the basis of it being under responsible ownership. - The appraiser may have provided a sketch in the appraisal report to show approximate dimensions of the improvements, and any such sketch is included only to assist the reader of the report in visualizing the property and understanding the appraiser's determination of its size. Unless otherwise indicated, a Land Survey was not performed. - If so indicated, the appraiser has examined the available flood maps that are provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or other data sources) and has noted in the appraisal report whether the subject site is located in an identified Special Flood Hazard Area. Because the appraiser is not a surveyor, he or she makes no guarantees, express or implied, regarding this determination. - The appraiser will not give testimony or appear in court because he or she made an appraisal of the property in question, unless specific arrangements to do so have been made beforehand. - If the cost approach is included in this appraisal, the appraiser has estimated the value of the land in the cost approach at its highest and best use, and the improvements at their contributory value. These separate valuations of the land and improvements must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if they are so used. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, the cost approach value is not an insurance value, and should not be used as such. - The appraiser has noted in the appraisal report any adverse conditions (including, but not limited to, needed repairs, depreciation, the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) observed during the inspection of the subject property, or that he or she became aware of during the normal research involved in performing the appraisal. Unless otherwise stated in the appraisal report, the appraiser has no knowledge of any hidden or unapparent conditions of the property, or adverse environmental conditions (including, but not limited to, the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) that would make the property more or less valuable, and has assumed that there are no such conditions and makes no guarantees or warranties, express or implied, regarding the condition of the property. The appraiser will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist. Because the appraiser is not an expert in the field of environmental hazards, the appraisal report must not be considered as an environmental assessment of the property. - The appraiser obtained the information, estimates, and opinions that were expressed in the appraisal report from sources that he or she considers to be reliable and believes them to be true and correct. The appraiser does not assume responsibility for the accuracy of such items that were furnished by other parties. - The appraiser will not disclose the contents of the appraisal report except as provided for in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, and any applicable federal, state or local laws. - If this appraisal is indicated as subject to satisfactory completion, repairs, or alterations, the appraiser has based his or her appraisal report and valuation conclusion on the assumption that completion of the improvements will be performed in a workmanlike manner. - An appraiser's client is the party (or parties) who engage an appraiser in a specific assignment. Any other party acquiring this report from the client does not become a party to the appraiser-client relationship. Any persons receiving this appraisal report because of disclosure requirements applicable to the appraiser's client do not become intended users of this report unless specifically identified by the client at the time of the assignment. - The appraiser's written consent and approval must be obtained before this appraisal report can be conveyed by anyone to the public, through advertising, public relations, news, sales, or by means of any other media, or by its inclusion in a private or public database. - An appraisal of real property is not a 'home inspection' and should not be construed as such. As part of the valuation process, the appraiser performs a non-invasive visual inventory that is not intended to reveal defects or detrimental conditions that are not readily apparent. The presence of such conditions or defects could adversely affect the appraiser's opinion of value. Clients with concerns about such potential negative factors are encouraged to engage the appropriate type of expert to investigate. The Scope of Work is the type and extent of research and analyses performed in an appraisal assignment that is required to produce credible assignment results, given the nature of the appraisal problem, the specific requirements of the intended user(s) and the intended use of the appraisal report. Reliance upon this report, regardless of how acquired, by any party or for any use, other than those specified in this report by the Appraiser, is prohibited. The Opinion of Value that is the conclusion of this report is credible only within the context of the Scope of Work, Effective Date, the Date of Report, the Intended User(s), the Intended Use, the stated Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, any Hypothetical Conditions and/or Extraordinary Assumptions, and the Type of Value, as defined herein. The appraiser, appraisal firm, and related parties assume no obligation, liability, or accountability, and will not be responsible for any unauthorized use of this report or its conclusions. Additional Comments (Scope of Work, Extraordinary Assumptions, Hypothetical Conditions, etc.): The scope of work on this assignment involved the review of sales and listing information in the area of the subject property and the review of the Sales Comparison Approach to Value, as this is most applicable in the valuation of vacant land parcels. The zoning and land use were reviewed and an analysis of the highest and best use was completed. The analysis did not required any appraisal assumptions or hypothetical conditions.

Buyer and seller are typically motivated; 2. Both parties are well informed or well advised and acting in what they consider their own best interests; 3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; 4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and 5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. * This definition is from regulations published by federal regulatory agencies pursuant to Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) of 1989 between July 5, 1990, and August 24, 1990, by the Federal Reserve System (FRS), National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), and the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

Request: The CRA requests Board approval of The Fruitful Fields Agreement. Background: The People’s Access to Community Horticulture (PATCH™) was established in 2012 to create an environmentally sustainable urban farm within the community, creating a network of secure healthy food sources of naturally grown vegetables and fruits. Historically, the PATCH has been staffed by three part-time employees: a Lead Coordinator and two Coordinators. It has been challenging to find qualified people willing to do manual labor in the Florida heat and weather for part-time wages and benefits. The CRA wishes to improve operating efficiency, reduce the operating costs, and increase the productivity of the PATCH. Jaime Castoro, as a sole proprietor of ProStar, has been providing farming and crop management strategies to the PATCH for over nine years. Jaime is now the Executive Director of The Fruitful Fields (TFF). Update: TFF submitted a proposal to provide comprehensive crop and farming strategies, the staffing necessary to operate the PATCH, and re-establish community programs at the PATCH. Their proposal is for a 2-year contract at $77,865.00 annually, payable in monthly installments. Biancamaria Bacarossi, would remain as our Lead Coordinator and oversee the on-site daily operations and services provided by TFF. As usual, the Agreement may be terminated without cause upon ten (10) days' written notice to the Contractor. Budgetary Impact TFF’s annual fee of $77,865.00 was discussed in our Budget Workshop and included in the FY2024 CRA budget. The funding will come from CRA Account No. 112-52-09-552-34-10: Contractual Services General - Fruitful Fields. Their fee is basically offset by the elimination of two part-time Coordinator positions and the elimination of the consulting agreement with Jaime Castoro. These savings are reflected in the FY2024 CRA budget. TFF is the only company in Broward County providing outsourced farming services. Purchasing conducted a formal process - no responses were received and they are “certified” as a Sole Source vendor. Recommendation The CRA recommends Board approval of The Fruitful Fields Agreement. RESOLUTION NO. 2024-CRA-______ A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (“CRA”) OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE PROPER CRA OFFICIALS TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE FRUITFUL FIELDS, INC TO PROVIDE OPERATIONAL SERVICES RELATED TO THE PATCH FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED SEVENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRES, SIXTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($77,865.00) PER YEAR; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the People’s Access To Community Horticulture (PATCH™) was established in 2012 to create an environmentally and economically sustainable urban farm within the community, creating a network of secure healthy food sources of naturally grown vegetables and fruits; and WHEREAS, the CRA wishes to improve the operating efficiency, reduce the operating costs, and increase the productivity of the PATCH; and WHEREAS, Jaime Castoro, as a sole proprietor consultant, has been providing farming and crop management strategies to the PATCH for over nine years; and WHEREAS, Jaime Castoro is now the Executive Director of The Fruitful Fields, the only company in Broward County providing outsourced farming services for community gardens; and WHEREAS, purchasing conducted a formal “Sole Source” notice process, which closed on November 15, 2023 and received no vendor responses establishing The Fruitful Fields as a sole source vendor; and WHEREAS, the CRA believes that engaging The Fruitful Fields is the most efficient and cost effective way to operate the PATCH and achieve its goal of producing healthy food sources of naturally grown vegetables and fruits for the community. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA: Section 1.That the above “WHEREAS” clauses are ratified and confirmed, and they are made a part of and incorporated into this Resolution by this reference.

Section 3. Funding will come from CRA Account No. 112-52-09-552-34-10: Contractual Services General - Fruitful Fields. Section 4.That all resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict with this Resolution are repealed to the extent of such conflict. Section 5.That this Resolution shall be in force and take effect in ten (10) days after its passage and adoption. PASSED AND ADOPTED on , 2024.

(Seal) Notary Public: Print Name: State of Florida at Large My Commission Expires: 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania Beach, Florida 33004 www.DaniaBeachCRA.org MEMORANDUM To: Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Chair, Vice Chair, Board Members From: Michael Chen, Executive Director Date: February 13, 2024 Re: PATCH – LOCATION OPTIONS Background: At the July 11, 2023 CRA Board Meeting, the CRA provided detailed description of the floods and damage caused by the abnormal storms in April and May 2023. Due to the extent of the damage, loss of the crops, and the cost to replace/restore some of the systems at the PATCH, it was suggested that it was a good time to explore the potential of moving the PATCH. The Board approved the CRA recommendation to explore the feasibility of moving the PATCH to 1399 Sterling Road. Current Site - 1201 w Dania Beach Blvd: The PATCH currently occupies a 1.11-acre City- owned property previously used as an informal dump site. The property consists of three parcels - two with residential zoning and a right-of-way without designated zoning. Optional Site - 1399 Stirling Rd: The optional site consists of two parcels totaling 112,563sf (2.65 ac). The larger parcel spans the canal with 25,809sf on the west side. There is a cell tower lease for 3,600sf on the east side. Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency PATCH – LOCATION OPTIONS February 13, 2024 Page 2 of 6 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania Beach, Florida 33004 www.DaniaBeachCRA.org A brief description of the advantages (pros) of each site is below: 1201 W Dania Beach Blvd • Established infrastructure, e.g. large pavilion, electrical panels, water lines • 4,290sf Open-air pavilion • Existing anchored office and tool sheds • Walkable access • Faster and cheaper restart 1399 Stirling Rd • Productivity potential est. 3 times Dania Bch Blvd • Lower flooding potential • High visibility location • Land size increases range of crops • Existing office/tool sheds can be moved to this site A brief description of the disadvantages (cons) of each site is below: 1201 W Dania Beach Blvd • Frequent flooding damages soil • In-ground growing not viable • Poor drainage causes root damage to fruit trees • Low traffic/dead end location 1399 Stirling Rd • Site will take a few seasons to reach peak yields • No established infrastructure – electric drops /panels, water tap • No fixed pavilion/shelter • Larger site = higher operating costs • High traffic ingress/egress A key issue when comparing the two sites is sustainability, specifically flooding, Our Lead Farm Coordinator, Biancamaria Bacarossi, in collaboration with our farming consultant, Jaime Castoro (ProStar), have worked to implement ways to mitigate the impacts of flooding and increase productivity. Their solution has two components: Hydroponics and Raised Beds (depicted in the photos below). HYDROPONICS RAISED BED Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency PATCH – LOCATION OPTIONS February 13, 2024 Page 3 of 6 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania Beach, Florida 33004 www.DaniaBeachCRA.org Hydroponics Hydroponics farming benefits the planet and offer food supply protections against climate change. • Needs No Soil • Conserves Water • Creates a Micro-Climate • Predictability • Crops Grow Faster • Maximizes Space • Produces Higher Yields • Requires Less Labor • Shortens the Supply Chain • Produces Higher Quality Food * Source Eden Green Technology Raised Beds Raised beds make gardening easier, increase production • Controls Soil Health • Increases Drainage • Lengthens the Growing Season • Gives Your Body a Break • Reduces Weeds • Reduces Pests • Avoids Compacted Soil • Increases Production • Facilitates Crop Rotation • Saves Water * Source Epic Gardening The layout of each site was also considered in the comparative analysis: 1201 W Dania Beach Blvd Implement the VHB Master Plan in the CRA Plan Update, adopted on March 14, 2023 Future Strategies 1. Implement PATCH Master Plan described in CRA Plan Update 2. Move community plots from east side to west side - reduce the number of plots from 20 to 6 3. Increase number of raised beds from 18 to 46 – modify existing beds to 3-block high 4. Expand the hydroponic system and/or nursery to support the increased raised beds 5. Establish a priority for these tasks Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency PATCH – LOCATION OPTIONS February 13, 2024 Page 4 of 6 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania Beach, Florida 33004 www.DaniaBeachCRA.org Implementation Cost Estimate: 1201 W Dania Beach Blvd Replace irrigation system $31,448 (avg of 3 quotes, TFF may propose lower cost) Cinder blocks (raised bed x 46) $20,962 Limestone Fill (Bed base – 10 trucks) $ 4,500 Compost Fill (Bedding soil) $ 9,583 Repair/expand nursery area $ 5,000 Water well* (S Florida est) $ 3,500 $74,993 Much of the storm recovery work is already completed. These costs include the buildout of 46 raised beds (28 new raised beds) and associated costs over 3 years. TFF expects to rebuild the irrigation system at a substantially lower cost – meanwhile, I have averaged the cost of 3 quotes we currently have. The priority would be to clear the storm damage from the remaining garden (approx. 30%), including moving the community plots to the west side. Restoring the irrigation system to the entire garden world run concurrently. The CRA has sufficient funding in the FY2024 budget for this work through the unused funding of the TFF account since October. Part of our effort during FY2024 will be to secure grant funds to start the adding of new raised beds. We may seek some additional implementation funding in FY2025. * I added an estimate for drilling a water well. We budget $8,000 per year for waterand making the capital expense for a well would be offset by saving water cost in 2 – 3 years. Also, it would reduce our use of valuable potable water, 1399 Stirling Rd Conceptual plan by Biancamaria Bacarossi, in collaboration with Jaime Castoro. Future Strategies 1. Move/anchor sheds 2. Set up infrastructure: electrical drops/panels, water, irrigation 3. Construct raised beds for most veggie growing 4. Tomatoes and beans in pots on raised tables 5. Construct hydroponic system to support the expanded raised beds 6. Establish a fruit tree orchard 7. Establish a priority for these tasks Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency PATCH – LOCATION OPTIONS February 13, 2024 Page 5 of 6 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania Beach, Florida 33004 www.DaniaBeachCRA.org Implementation Cost Estimate: 1399 Stirling Rd Replace irrigation system (est based on land area) $ 70,000 Cinder blocks (raised bed x 92) $ 41,950 Limestone Fill (Bed base – 10 trucks) $ 9,000 Compost Fill (Bedding soil) $ 9,000 Repair/expand nursery area $ 5,000 Water well* (S Florida est) $ 3,500 $138,350 Unknown costs: Moving/anchoring office/tool sheds, clear cutting the site, electricity drop/panels, water taps, fencing, drives/paving. These costs reflect the complete buildout of 92 raised beds and associated costs over 3 years. More of this cost estimate would be expended earlier to set up the new site. The unknown costs are up front costs. The estimated cost of the irrigation system is based on land area – TFF may be able to build at a substantially lower cost. The priority would be to clear the overgrown site. Constructing the irrigation system to the entire garden world run concurrently. The CRA does not have sufficient funding in the FY2024 budget for the start up expenses at this site. Part of our effort during FY2024 will be to secure grant funds to build the new raised beds. * I added an estimate for drilling a water well. We budget $8,000 per year for water and making the capital expense for a well would be offset by saving water cost in 2 – 3 years. Water use at this site would probably be double that of the Dania Beach Blvd site. Also, it would reduce our use of valuable potable water, Conclusions of Comparative analysis • Both sites have advantages and disadvantages • Most of the disadvantages of both sites can be reduced/mitigated with reasonable planning and savvy implementation. • Both sites will benefit from using hydroponics and raised beds for most veggie growing • Both sites provide a viable option for the future of the PATCH.
