SUBJECT: CRA Executive Director Administrative Report
1. CRA INITIATIVES
• Commercial Façade Grant Program Update:
102 N Federal Hwy. (Jorge M. Fallad, dba Ornamental Home Design: The original Façade
Grant for 102 N Federal Hwy was approved on February 14, 2023, with a cost estimate of
the rehab project was $120,000. As the project nears completion, the actual cost is
substantially higher. Due to some health issues, the work got a late start and on April 9,
2025, the CRA Board extended the deadlines of the original Facade Grant Agreement.
Mr. Fallad contacted the CRA to advise that he has received final approval on two
segments of his building permit and expects to complete the project within the next month.
He expects to submit his request for grant funding at the end of the year.
He also provided us with an update of his plans for the building. He has negotiated an
agreement with a family business that operates Italian restaurants and manufactures high-
quality gelato. They operate restaurants in Los Angeles and Weston. They will open an 80-
seat Italian Cafe and Gelato shop, with about 60% of the seats on the outdoor patio. The
outdoor seating will be arranged under gazebos, centered around an antique water fountain
from Italy. The indoor seating will have unique art pieces created by Ornamental Design
scattered throughout.
The restaurant will prepare the food at their Weston location, and "cater" it to the Cafe in
Dania Beach. Mr. Fallad had leased parking from a neighbor to expand his capacity to
serve the dining patrons. The target to open is by the end of the year.

On November 18, 2025, CRA Board Meeting, RMA presented the Operational Analysis for
the CRA, providing detailed recommendations to guide the redevelopment of the
CRA, Federal Highway and Dania Beach Boulevard corridors. These corridors remain critical
economic gateways and require a targeted, coordinated strategy to support revitalization.
The Administration is proposing to schedule a 2–3 hour workshop in mid-February 2026, to
review RMA’s findings in greater detail and begin crafting a comprehensive strategic plan.
This workshop will address redevelopment priorities, economic development initiatives,
business attraction strategies, beautification improvements, and opportunities to partner with
existing property owners to encourage reinvestment.
The outcome of this workshop will help establish a long-term vision and implementation
roadmap to enhance aesthetics, stimulate economic activity, and promote sustainable growth
along both corridors.

• On November 12, 2025, Executive Director Candido Sosa-Cruz and Fruitful Fields
owner Jaime Castoro met with teachers from Olsen Middle School to explore the creation
of a school garden that would teach students how to grow vegetables, fruits, and plants.
The teachers were highly impressed with the PATCH and expressed interest in
establishing a similar hands-on learning program on their campus.
During the visit, we walked the grounds and identified several considerations, including
drainage and irrigation challenges that would need to be addressed. We also discussed
implementing a “train-the-trainers” model, beginning with instructional sessions at the
PATCH to prepare the teachers who will lead the program. Following this initial training,
we would offer monthly or bi-monthly classes at the PATCH to provide ongoing support.
The teachers were enthusiastic about the concept and planned to begin coordinating school
transportation logistics and securing approvals from the Principal and the School Board.

Kim Briesemeister of RMA presented an in-depth redevelopment and operational analysis of the
CRA emphasizing that the city already has a strong brand and positive momentum but also major
opportunities to elevate its business climate, real estate activation, and economic trajectory. She
explained how redevelopment requires not only attracting positive change but also walked
through key focus areas, especially the arts and entertainment district, First Avenue, and US-,
highlighting the need to connect businesses, properties, and public spaces rather than relying on
physical improvements alone.
Ms. Briesemeister stressed aligning zoning, activating city-owned land, and improving facades
and safety. She also described large economic opportunities tied to the marine and aviation
industries, the casino property, cultural branding, and major upcoming events. Overall, she
encouraged the city to hold a workshop to dive deeper into these insights, refine priorities, and
align tools, policies, and budgets to support long-term redevelopment success.
Ms. Briesemeister answered questions from the board.

Background:

homeowners with minor home repairs beyond their contract and at no additional cost to the
CRA.
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.

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).
Rebuilding Together Broward County, Inc. achieved an early completion of the improvements
on the forty (40) homes required under their January 14, 2025, contract.
This one-year renewal of the 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).
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 FY2025/26 budget, account # 106-52-02-552-31-42.
Recommendation
The CRA Administration recommends CRA Board approval of the first renewal of the
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.
