3. Reports and Discussion Items
a. Item 3.1 and 3.2 ‐ Membership updates and Bylaws Resolution / sub‐committee
members Linda, Kitte and Luis were prepared to update the CAC with our revisions
for the membership, bylaws and resolution when Kisha provided us with a City of
Dania Beach City Board and Committee Manual. None of the members of the
committee recall seeing this manual so we tabled our discussion and the changed
until the next CAC meeting so that the sub‐committee could meet once again and
review this manual before implementing changes.
b. Item 3.3 – D.A.D Art in the Hall/ Artist Reception/ It was reported that Art in the
Hall, Reception was very well attended and went very smooth. Kitte mentioned it
was a bit difficult to get the artist and elected officials together to make
announcements etc. Suggestion was to have an official agenda or time frame to
follow so that those that those that need to be announced or speak know when to
be ready and prepared.
‐ CRA Director Rickelle had a request that we don’t go overboard on “free food” in the
Gallery because we need to be respectful to the Food Trucks that have made a
commitment to be at D.A.D. Sandy and Linda said that the food at the reception was
more than expected and we will be more mindful in the future.
‐ Kisha CRA Coordinator request to Henriette and Sandy that we give all artists and
performers a “City of Dania Beach Hold Harmless” agreement to review and sign
prior to them exhibiting in the Hall. The artist(s)/performers will need to have two
witnesses sign or the agreement will have to be notarized.
4. Unfinished business
a. Item 4.1 – Mural Art – Commissioner Tamara James has a vision to have a “3D”
mural commissioned on the east side of the parking garage at City Hall. South Florida
will be in the spotlight this coming end of year and first part of next year since it will
be hosting the Super Bowl. Commissioner James vision is to have this 3‐d (Trompe‐
l’oeil) art make a statement and showcase Dania Beach. She stressed that the art
can be anything and does not need to be “sports” related. It cannot be political or
controversial. She has asked the CAC to produce a call to artist and have something
back to her and the commission within 60 days (end of April) of this meeting. Mural
Art Sub‐Committee lead my Rich Aube will have their first meeting Tuesday February
26th at 4pm. Mural sub‐committee members are; Rich Aube, Tony Walsh, Kitte
Arnold, Emmanuel George, Laura Lombardo.
b. Item 4.2 ‐ Signal Box – Sub‐committee chair Joan Gringer stated that all of the
approval has been received by the individuals on the Historic Signal Box. Kisha CRA
Coordinator indicated that the box will need to be permitted with DOT. Printers will
be the ones to “pull” the permitting. Marina Signal Box update – Joan notified us

that the art that was selected, the Artist has not been notified yet. The location in on
Federal and NE 1st. The box needs some repairs on the bottom. Joan recommends to
paint the box and put the art wrap over the paint. Kisha will look to see if the box
can be fixed. But we have decided not to hold up the process if DOT needs to be
involved. Joan was asking how the artist gets paid and for the artist to sign a release
form. Luis to look into if the release form was signed at the time the art was
submitted. If not, we are to get the artist to sign a release.
c. Item 4.3 ‐ Art Gallery Set‐up – Need to get a scissor lift to put up hardware and art
in the hall. We will need a scissor lift each time we add art to the upper level of Art
in the Hall. It was recommended to present the rental of a scissor lift to the
commission. The funding would be for (3) more installations for the remainder of
this fiscal year or a total of $1875.00 or $625 per occurrence. Kisha will draft up a
memo for the CAC to be placed on the commission agenda for this coming Tuesday
February 26th. There was discussion by all as to why the city would not purchase a
lift. We are going to defer this topic to purchase until fiscal year budgets are being
prepared.
5. New Business

the sub‐committee and this will be tabled for next meeting. This group will also be
the Budget committee. The budget committee will look into other funding
opportunities. Linda stated that if we were to go get funding outside of the city, it
will need to be approved with the finance department. The sub‐committee will
come up with a fiscal year plan for 2019 – 2020. This committee will meet on
Tuesday Feb 26th to discuss the Budget master plan, By‐Laws‐Reso‐CAC Application,
and Future CACAB Master Plan short and long term for 2020 and forward. Lots of
