2 Discussion and possible action relating to City's position on Purchase Assurance
Program and other matters in connection with expansion of Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood
lnternational Airport.
Victor Lohmann, Chairman of the Airport Advisory Board, presented a proposed
Position Statement to the City Commission defining the position that the citizens of
Dania want expressed to the County Commission and the Aviation Division which would
include some priorities such as road expansion, job opportunity, job growth,
preservation of tax base and preservation of the quality of life the residents currently
enjoy. He also requested that the County Commission be asked to define the basic
premise on how the Purchase Assurance Program would operate. Some of the issues
the Board was concerned about were boundaries, time frame and guidelines for
seeking public input.
City Manager Smith referred to options addressed in the inter-local agreement.
Mayor Mikes read the contents of Resolution No. 67-97 wherein the City recommended
the south runway remain a general aviation runway and one of the north runway
alternatives be constructed, which would minimize the threat to the public health and
safety of Dania residents by the proposed project.
Commissioner Bertino was concerned that the property values were decreasing in the
area because the owners don't want to put any money into their homes which they feel
will eventually be taken by the airport expansion.
It was suggested that the Mayor meet with the new County Commissioners individually
and talk to them regarding the health, safety and welfare of the residents in the area.
The Mayor mentioned that the Environmental lmpact Study (ElS) was coming up soon
for approval. Commissioner Hyde felt that the best opportunity to bring the health,
safety and welfare issues up would be during the EIS process. Mayor Mikes stated that
the DRI study was scheduled for the next County Commission agenda.
Vice-Mayor Cali recommended that the City ask the County for a fully funded purchase
assurance program by creating a trust fund which could be funded by a percentage of
revenues generated through tenants, tickets and other sources of revenue at the
airport.
2SPECIAL MEETING JULY 1,1997
Commissioner Hyde stated that he felt it was the County's responsibility to fund the
purchase assurance program.
Mayor Mikes suggested that the City get a definitive statement from FAA regarding
allowable uses of the runway.
Jay Field, member of the Airport Advisory Board, suggested that a single event noise
component be included for mitigation.
Mayor Mikes suggested that an addendum or a side agreement be drafted regarding
the mitigation portion of the inter-local agreement with language that would increase the
viability of home ownership in the stressed areas.
The Mayor was directed to draft a statement to the County to include: definition of the
purchase assurance program, areas that would be impacted, establishment of a time
frame for the implementation of the program, guarantee that it will be fully funded, and
single event contour. The Mayor was also directed to address the County Commission
regarding the possibility of an addendum to address specifics of the purchase
assurance program.
Vice-Mayor Cali suggested that the County be asked to give Dania the unincorporated
parcels which lie within the Riverland Road area and/or to deed all the water and sewer
utilities to Dania that lie within our city limits.
Robin Coatsworth agreed that the City should take a hard stance like Hollywood and
Fort Lauderdale.
Gary Lichi mentioned that the City of Hollywood was concerned that they might be
loosing the Oakridge neighborhood.
Craig Leonard was concerned about air pollution and water quality.
