6. Proposals and Bids
There were no proposals on this agenda.
7. Discussion and Possible Action
7.1 Commercial Façade Grant Application: 24 NE 1 Ave
Executive Director Chen introduced the item.
Board member Rimoli asked if there was an outreach program to reach businesses and Executive
Director Chen responded that they are posted on social media platforms, and this will be the role
of the newly hired Business Manager.
Board member Lewellen made a motion to approve the item. The motion was seconded by
Board member Rimoli which carried unanimously on voice vote.
7.2 Potential Disposition of a CRA-Owned Land Parcel - 137 NW 4th Ave
Executive Director Chen introduced the item. He commented that Love Our Nation contacted
him requesting assistance supporting the land so they can build a children’s center for the
neighborhood. At this time, all that is being requested from the board is approval to notice the
RFP.
Vice Chair Salvino said that he needs more information or backup to this to understand it better.
Board member Rimoli stated that he is unsure of this type of process and Executive Director
Chen responded that the RFP is an announcement that the CRA is contemplating the disposal of
a piece of land and it will be a broad solicitation.
City Attorney Boutsis clarified that the Board needs to determine whether they would like to
entertain this or not. The Board may also request more information before going out to bid, put it
out to bid for a specific purpose, or determine whether they would rather keep the land. It is
entirely up to the Board to determine what they would like to do.
Board member Lewellen commented that she needs more information before it goes out to bid.
Discussion ensued regarding the proposal and the land.

Board member Ryan commented that he appreciates the interest from Love our Nation but this
conversation is more about what the board would like to do with this land and not so much about
just selling it.
There was consensus by the Board that there needs to be more information provided and
discussed amongst the board to determine what would be best for the land.
7.3 Approval of 2025 CRA Board Meeting Dates
Board member Lewellen made a motion to approve the item. The motion was seconded by
Board member Ryan which carried unanimously on voice vote.

Board member Lewellen commented that it was a very informative meeting tonight and deferred
her comments to the Commission meeting.
Board member Rimoli had no comments.
Board member Ryan commented on two appraisals that were received for the parcel of land
across from Frost Park. He is asking for approval from the board to enter into negotiations of
potentially purchasing the property without exceeding the highest appraisal value.
Vice Chair Salvino commented that he would like more information on what is going to go on
that property.
Board member Lewellen feels that this topic would be more appropriate under discussion and
possible action so that questions can be asked and have further investigations on it. She likes the
idea of having a workshop to discuss the properties.
Vice Chair Salvino had no comments.
Chair Davis appreciated Executive Director Chen’s thorough report, the conversation on Spirit
Airlines and the growth at the PATCH.

CRA SECRETARY CHAIR – CRA
City of Dania Beach
Memorandum
DATE: 1/14/2025
TO: Chair and Board Members
FROM: Michael Chen, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Rebuilding Together- Safe at Home
Request:
Approve the Agreement with Rebuilding Together Broward County to provide the services under
the At Home Dania Beach Safe At Home Program for Fifty Thousand dollars ($50,000.00).
Background:
Over the past five years, Rebuilding Together Broward County (Rebuilding) has improved over
200 homes under our At Home Dania Beach Residential Beautification Program with exterior
painting and minor landscaping. Rebuilding Together has also assisted more homeowners with
minor home repairs beyond their contract and at no additional cost to the City or CRA.
On May 28, 2024, a CRA Budget Workshop was held and the creation of the At Home Dania
Beach Safe At Home Program was discussed. On September 9, 2024, the FY2024/25 CRA
Budget was approved with funding for the continuation of the At Home Dania Beach Residential
Beautification Program.
A Request for Proposals (RFP No. CRA-24-026), seeking proposals to provide services for the
Danian Beach CRA’s Home Beautification and Safe At Home programs was initiated on
October 3, 2024 and closed on November 4,2024. On October 7, 2024, Public Notice of RFP No.
CRA-24-026 was published in the Sun Sentinel. Following the RFP response deadline, the
purchasing department determined that the proposal from Rebuilding Together Broward County,
Inc. was the only qualified response to the RFP.
Current: In their RFP response, Rebuilding Together Broward County, Inc. proposed to provide
the required services to perform the services to implement the Safe At Home Program in the
CRA, for Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00).
Although the RFP solicited services to perform the scope of work for both the continuation of the
At Home Dania Beach Residential Beautification Program and the creation of the At Home
Dania Beach Safe At Home Program, the Community Redevelopment Agency recommends to
document the services to perform the scope of work for each program by separate Agreements.
This is due to the distinctively different scopes of work for each program and how Rebuilding
Together is paid for the performance of their services.
This one-year Agreement and accompanying resolution engages Rebuilding Together to provide
the services necessary to create the Safe At Home Program across the neighborhoods within the
CRA. Payment for these services shall be an amount not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000.00).
The scope of work for Safe At Home improvements and safety upgrades will vary according to
the conditions of each specific property and the needs of each homeowner, therefore a criterion
for authorization of projects is required as follows:
• Tier 1 - ADA, Fire, Safety, and Security Improvements: This tier focuses on
immediate, small-scale improvements to enhance the safety and accessibility of homes.
These improvements prevent accidents, provide ADA upgrades, and improve overall
living conditions. Rebuilding is pre-authorized to perform Tier 1 projects, with total
project costs under $1,000.
• Tier 2 - Minor Home Health and Safety Improvements: This tier addresses more
substantial health and safety concerns that require moderate investment by improving
flooring and ventilation, to enhance healthy living conditions and repairing minor
plumbing leaks to prevent water damage and future mold growth. Rebuilding Together
must secure the authorization of the CRA Director in advance to perform Tier 2 projects,
with total project costs between $1,000 - $3,999.
• Tier 3 - Major Home Health and Safety Improvements: This tier involves extensive
repairs and upgrades that require skilled and/or licensed professionals. These
improvements address critical health and safety issues that, if left unresolved, could lead
to severe consequences for the resident. Rebuilding Together must secure the
authorization of the CRA Board authorization in advance to perform Tier 3 projects, with
total project costs of $4,000 or more.
Rebuilding Together will be advised that the CRA’s objective is for this program to serve
more homeowners with minor repairs/improvements. Authorization for Tier 2 and Tier 3
projects will likely reply on donations and/or sponsorships that offset CRA costs.
Attachments: Resolution for the (1) Year Agreement
Budgetary Impact
The proposed 2025 Agreement for the Safe At Home Program in the CRA is $50,000.00. This
expense was expected and funding for this renewal was included in the FY2024/25 budget,
account # 106-52-02-552-31-42.
Recommendation
The CRA recommends CRA Board approval of he Agreement with Rebuilding Together
Broward County for one (1) year to perform residential revitalization services under the At
Home Dania Beach Safe At Home Program in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00.

Memorandum
DATE: 1/14/2025
TO: Chair and Board Members
FROM: Michael Chen, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Rebuilding Together Agreement- Home Beautification
Request:
Approve the Agreement with Rebuilding Together Broward County to provide the services for
completing forty (40) homes under the At Home Dania Beach Residential Beautification
Program for One Hundred, Twenty Thousand dollars ($120,000.00).
Background:
Over the past five years, Rebuilding Together Broward County (Rebuilding) has improved over
200 homes under our At Home Dania Beach Residential Beautification Program with exterior
painting and minor landscaping. Rebuilding Together has also assisted more homeowners with
minor home repairs beyond their contract and at no additional cost to the City or CRA.
On May 28, 2024, a CRA Budget Workshop was held and the continuation of the At Home
Dania Beach Residential Beautification Program was discussed. On September 9, 2024, the
FY2024/25 CRA Budget was approved with funding for the continuation of the At Home Dania
Beach Residential Beautification Program.
A Request for Proposals (RFP No. CRA-24-026), seeking proposals to provide services for the
Danian Beach CRA’s Home Beautification and Safe At Home programs was initiated on
October 3, 2024 and closed on November 4,2024,. On October 7, 2024, Public Notice of RFP
No. CRA-24-026 was published in the Sun Sentinel. Following the RFP response deadline, the
purchasing department determined that the proposal from Rebuilding Together Broward County,
Inc. was the only qualified response to the RFP.
Current: In their RFP response, Rebuilding Together Broward County, Inc. proposed to provide
the required services to perform the services to implement the Residential Beautification
Program for forty (40) homes in the CRA, for One Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars
($120,000.00).
Although the RFP solicited services to perform the scope of work for both the continuation of the
At Home Dania Beach Residential Beautification Program and the initiation of the At Home
Dania Beach Safe At Home Program, the Community Redevelopment Agency recommends to
document the services to perform the scope of work for each program by separate Agreements.
This is due to the distinctively different scopes of work for each program and how Rebuilding
Together is paid for the performance of their services.
This one-year Agreement and accompanying resolution engages Rebuilding Together to provide
the services necessary to continue the Residential Beautification Program on the next forty (40)
homes across the neighborhoods within the CRA. Payment for these services shall be an
amount not to exceed One Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000.00).
Attachments: Resolution for the (1) Year Agreement
Budgetary Impact
The proposed 2025 Agreement for the improvement of forty (40) houses in the CRA is
$120,000.00, the same as the 2024 contract price.. This expense was expected and funding for
this renewal was included in the FY2024/25 budget, account # 106-52-02-552-31-42.
Recommendation
The CRA recommends CRA Board approval of he Agreement with Rebuilding Together
Broward County for one (1) year to perform residential revitalization services under the At
Home Dania Beach Beautification Program in an amount not to exceed $120,000.00.

Memorandum
DATE: 1/14/2025
TO: Chair and Board Members
FROM: Michael Chen, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Real Time Marketing Group LLC Digital Media Six-Month Contract Renewal
Request:
Approve the 6-month extension of the Real Time Marketing Group Agreement.
Background:
On November 29, 2018, the CRA executed an agreement with Real Time Marketing Group LLC
(RTMG) for a three-year period. The Agreement provided an option to renew the contract for
two additional one-year periods with CRA Board Approval. Section 2.1 of the renewed
Agreement provides for an extension of up to an additional 180 days by the CRA Executive
Director by written notice to the Consultant, with CRA advance approval.
Section 8.1 of the renewed Agreement provides for the termination of this Agreement without
cause upon ten (10) days’ written notice from the CRA Executive Director to the Consultant.
The RTMG marketing strategy seeks to educate the public and increase awareness for the Dania
Beach CRA District Redevelopment Activities through website updates and social media.
• Service includes work and updates on the following CRA websites:
o Dania Beach CRA.org
o The PATCH Garden.com
o Other CRA special event websites
• Social media consultation activities for Dania Beach CRA including:
o Create promotional concepts, evaluate, and select tools for implementation,
o Oversee and direct progress and ongoing activities to increase engagement.
o Monthly promotion of specific CRA activities such as the IP2Mkt Incubator, Dania
Beach Business Academy, Dania Beach CRA Beautification Program, and PATCH.
• Digital media: Facebook, Instagram, You Tube
UPDATE: Since the renewal of the current Agreement, there have been several changes in the
CRA affecting the scope of work and the associated fees. Examples of these changes include:
• The CRA no longer produces the Dania After Dark and Arts & Seafood Fest events.
• The update of the CRA website has been completely updated. Future maintenance of that
website will be managed by VUP media under their existing agreement.
• The Fruitful Fields operating agreement for the PATCH includes some responsibilities
for social media promotions, which they are doing. The Fruitful Fields, Love Our Nation
and the CRA hosts several community engagement activities at the PATCH every month,
which are promoted via social media and/or the newspapers.
• Krystal Permanan, the CRA Business Manager, managed the social media and promotion
strategies for FXE and will be the CRA’s lead for this in the future.
Notwithstanding the changes in the CRA described above, there is still a need for this type of
professional media support – at a materially lower monthly cost. The CRA is currently revising
the scope of work for this Agreement and will work with Purchasing to initiate an RFP for the
revised services in the near future. Once the RFP is completed, the agreement with the prevailing
respondent will be brought to the CRA Board for approval and the remaining term of this 6-
month extension will be terminated.
Budgetary Impact
This renewal of the RTMG Agreement reflects a $5,000.00 reduction from FY2023. RTMG will
be paid a monthly fee of Two Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Seven Dollars ($2,477.00)
during the renewal period. RTMG’s monthly fee was contemplated and included in the FY2025
CRA budget. The funding will come from CRA Account No. 106-52-02-552-31-41: Professional
Services CRA - Marketing / PR.
Recommendation
The CRA recommends the approval of a 6-month renewal of the RTMG agreement.
