CITY OF DANIA BEACH OFFICE OF THE CITY MANGER 100 West Dania Beach Blvd ∙ Dania Beach, FL 33004 ∙ (954) 924-6800 ∙ (954) 921-2604 (fax) MEMORANDUM Date: April 8, 2025 To: Mayor Joyce L. Davis Vice Mayor Marco A. Salvino, Sr. Commissioner Lori Lewellen Commissioner Luis Rimoli Commissioner A. J. Ryan IV From: Ana M. Garcia, ICMA-CM, City Manager Subject: Manager’s Report As the first city in Broward County to acquire and activate two new BSO skywatch towers, I am pleased to announce that they are already operational. One tower has been positioned at our beach, while the second is located in the NW 1ST Street area. We will continue to relocate the towers as needed based on areas of concern and where we aim to enhance safety and security. The Community Development Department consistently exceeds expectations, as demonstrated during last week's Commission meeting. Our City has become the first municipality to attain a Class 5 rating in FEMA's Community Rating System, highlighting our dedication to flood resilience. This achievement not only improves safety for the community but also offers residents substantial savings on flood insurance. As a result of this rating, city residents are eligible for an automatic 25% discount on their flood insurance premiums. Our Beach Rangers are excelling in their efforts to maintain a safe, attractive, and secure beach environment! We have successfully tackled the challenges of Spring Break without any incidents. Our parking patrol has been strengthened, and we have included the FAU parking lot in our services, collaborating with Lucky Fish and Quarterdeck to provide valet services. During peak attendance, the Beach Rangers have effectively managed traffic and ensured smooth vehicle flow through access control. Recently, our Dania Beach teens organized a sock drive for the homeless. BSO Homeless Outreach Officer Roly Reyes collaborated with the teens, offering valuable insights on how to assist those in need. This is a commendable initiative by our youth to give back to the community! On April 1st, Lucky Fish celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The proceeds from the opening day will benefit Feeding South Florida, the primary hunger-relief organization serving communities in South Florida. The funds raised will contribute to Feeding South Florida's mission to eliminate hunger in the region. We are in the process of recruiting for three key roles within the Public Services Department: the CIP and Grants Administrator, Transit Coordinator, and Assistant Project Manager. We have conducted interviews with several highly qualified candidates and anticipate making a selection within the next few weeks. The SE Drainage Project is currently in Phase I, which is progressing slightly ahead of schedule. The installation of 12 injection wells is underway, and the design for Phase II was finalized in February, with the bidding process set to begin in April. Construction for this phase is expected to start in June. Additionally, we are introducing two more phases to the SE Drainage Project to cover as much of the southeastern area as possible, aiming to reduce flooding and manage stormwater runoff effectively. Regarding the Women’s Club Historic Restoration, the project specifications are currently being evaluated by Procurement, after which the bidding process will commence. If everything proceeds smoothly, we expect to initiate work by early May 2025. For the SW 34th Court Drainage Project, located near the Big Fat Greek restaurant, construction is slated to begin in June 2025, with an estimated duration of six months for completion. The design for the Ocean Park Restrooms is nearing the 50 percent completion milestone. The updated restrooms will be more spacious and fully renovated to accommodate the growing number of visitors at Ocean Park. We anticipate bidding and the start of construction in the first quarter of 2026. In terms of the Stormwater Master Plan (SWMP), discussions, planning, and prioritization of drainage projects outlined in the master plan will take place over the next six months. The City is actively seeking grants from various government levels to secure additional funding while minimizing financial burdens on our residents. We remain in contention for two legislative priorities submitted to Tallahassee: 1. An upgrade to the stormwater system at NW 2nd Avenue, estimated at $1.67 million, for which the city is requesting $835,000, and 2. A water main replacement in our Arts & Entertainment District, valued at $700,000, with a request for $350,000 in grant funding. Regarding our FDOT Highway Beautification Grant, in September 2024, Public Services submitted two applications aimed at funding the Corridor Landscaping Improvements on East Dania Beach Blvd. On January 9, 2025, the City was informed that both grants, totaling $224,000, have been awarded! The City officially accepted the grants in January and held a Phase 2 kick-off meeting with FDOT and the consultants in March to discuss the project timeline. The LAP / 1st Street Grant from FDOT, amounting to $360,264, is designated for the streetscape beautification project on NW 1st Street, stretching from Bryan Road to State Road 5/US 1. This funding will support improvements to sidewalks and roadways, as well as enhance pedestrian amenities. In accordance with grant stipulations, the selection of the design firm and proposal negotiations have been reviewed and approved by FDOT. Public Series will recommend the selection of Kimley Horn for design services at an upcoming Commission Meeting to launch this significant project. Our Planning and Zoning Division continues to meet and collaborate with developers and their team of architects, planners, and attorneys. Please see below a list of projects in the works and being studied and researched by our team: Mango Residential: This site plan is for the construction of four two-story townhomes.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and expect the content. Dear Colleagues, First, happy Friday and I hope you have a wonderful weekend. If you have a team in the Final Four, good luck. As you know, on February 25, 2025, the Broward County Commission approved several ordinances that are necessary steps to Waste Management expanding the Monarch Hill landfill, which expansion is still conditioned upon receipt of several regulatory approvals including environmental and land use permits. The potential expansion is projected to increase the landfill’s remaining useful life from about 6 years to 22 years, providing local, longer-term capacity for disposal of Class III waste such as construction and demolition debris and storm debris. Without this longer-term capacity, and absent far more meaningful (and expensive) recycling, much of this waste would have to be shipped out of the County, with our residents bearing the added transportation costs. To address impacts resulting from the potential expansion, and in the hope doing so would result in a favorable decision by the County Commission, Waste Management committed to provide a number of financial and other benefits including: (i) payment of a significant per ton host charge, with the proceeds thereof usable only to address impacts of the expansion or to otherwise benefit our regional solid waste disposal and recycling system; (ii) additional capacity commitments which, among other things, enabled the County to negotiate another option to extend the Wheelabrator/WinWaste disposal agreement, on favorable terms, beyond the current July 2028 expiration and until July 2033; and (iii) with limited exceptions, a 2027 cessation of municipal solid waste disposal (i.e., the waste most likely to create odor problems) in Monarch Hill (something we believe has long been sought by Coconut Creek; the cessation was delayed until 2027 because Waste Management has contractual commitments with Broward municipalities to accept municipal solid waste until that time). Coconut Creek and Deerfield Beach oppose the landfill expansion and have initiated Chapter 164 proceedings and litigation against the County (described in a bit more detail below). While the County is statutorily obligated to ensure adequate solid waste disposal capacity exists for all County residents (incorporated and unincorporated), solid waste disposal is a municipal function. The County provides that function only for the unincorporated area, which represents under 1% of the total County population. Thus, 99% of the benefits flowing from the expansion of Monarch Hill, including 99% of the benefits resulting from Waste Management’svoluntarily undertaken commitments, would logically benefit municipalities and their residents. Additionally, resolution of the dispute regarding the Monarch Hill expansion could impact how the County-owned landfill in southwestern Broward County (the contingency landfill) must be used, which could significantly impact residents of municipalities in that portion of the County. For these reasons, we believe your municipality’s substantial interests may be affected by resolution of the pending conflicts with Coconut Creek and Deerfield Beach, and we therefore would like to ensure the County fully considers your municipality's interests as we consider ways to potentially resolve the conflicts. Coconut Creek has filed a proceeding before DOAH to challenge one aspect of the potential expansion and has filed a lawsuit in Broward County Circuit Court to challenge another aspect. Deerfield Beach has voted to join in the Coconut Creek challenges. Those cities agree with the County’s position that the circuit court litigation (but not the DOAH proceeding) must, at a minimum, be abated while the required Chapter 164 dispute resolution process is completed. As the governmental entity initiating the Chapter 164 proceedings, Coconut Creek was statutorily required to notify any local government entities which, in its determination, may have substantial interests affected by resolution of the conflict. This notification is designed to enable other affected parties to participate in the dispute resolution proceedings. Coconut Creek and Deerfield Beach are both represented in these matters by the same outside counsel, and neither municipality has elected to invite other municipalities to participate in the proceedings. They did, however, indicate they are not opposed to the County extending an invitation for other municipalities to participate. The County and those two cities attended a preliminary, staff-level conflict assessment meeting, but decided to pause and continue the meeting to a later date for numerous reasons, including to potentially enable other municipalities to participate in the process. If your municipality wishes to participate in the Chapter 164 proceedings to protect your municipality’s interests with regard to the expansion of the Monarch Hill landfill, please alert us so we can ensure thenext conflict assessment meeting occurs on a date your municipality is available and at a location that can accommodate all participants. You are not required to participate, but we wanted to make sure you knew you were welcome to do so. Enjoy your day and weekend. And, needless to say, Go Gators! Andrew J.

(Sponsored by Commissioner Luis Rimoli) City Attorney Boutsis read the title of the resolution into the record. Commissioner Rimoli introduced the item. Mayor Davis opened the floor to public comments, there being none, public hearing was closed Vice Mayor Salvino said that he could not have served on the Commission the first time around without Mrs. Brandimarte’s support, strength and knowledge. He thanked Mrs. Brandimarte for all the service she gives to the city. Commissioner Lewellen thanked Mrs. Brandimarte for her 26 years of service and for growing the seniors’ organization. Commissioner Ryan thanked Ms. Brandimarte for coming tonight and said the City appreciates her contribution and dedication to the City, however he does not see sufficient information in the backup for the item. He feels there needs to be a better process when it comes to naming city owned areas. He does not believe there should be another name on the I.T. Parker Center and there needs to be a better vetting process when it comes to such a historic building. Mayor Davis thanked Mrs. Brandimarte for her 26 years of service and said she does believe the facility naming process is not clear and the city needs to have specific criteria set forth. Mayor Davis asked City Attorney Boutsis about the criteria for naming a street and City Attorney Boutsis explained the naming process. Mayor Davis commented that she does not believe the criteria is aligned, and she believes there needs to be transparency of funds. She reiterated that this is not personal but that she is a process-oriented person. The last 4 naming’s have been commissioner to commissioner and these are things that need to be considered when major decisions are made. Vice Mayor Salvino said he feels that for someone to give 26 years of their life to encourage the seniors of the city, he thinks Mr. Parker would like to see that happen and he believes he would recognize the contribution. He noted it is not changing the name of the building, and that there are many areas where you’ll see plaques, even outside of the I.T. Parker Center when you enter the door. He does not see where someone should not be recognized for their contributions and this may be an opportunity to do so, he believes recognition should be observed. Commissioner Rimoli commented that he did follow the criteria currently set forth. City Attorney Boutsis clarified that this requires a 4/5th vote for this item to pass. Commissioner Rimoli made a motion to approve the item. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Salvino which failed 3-2 with Commissioner Ryan and Mayor Davis voting no and Commissioner Lewellen, Commissioner Rimoli, and Vice Mayor Salvino voting yes. 11.FIRST READING ORDINANCES 11.1 ORDINANCE NO. 2025-______ Minutes of Regular Meeting Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, March 11, 2025 – 7:00 p.m. 7 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 28, ENTITLED THE “LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE” (LDC); TO PROVIDE CERTAIN TECHNICAL UPDATES, CLARIFICATIONS, AND LANGUAGE CLEANUP TO THE CODE RELATING TO GREEN BUILDING PROCEDURES, OFF-STREET PARKING, LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS IN THE CRA ZONING DISTRICT, PLANNED SMALL LOT MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (PMUD-SU); SIGNAGE REGULATIONS, DEFINITIONS AND TERM USAGE WITHIN THE NONCONFORMING USES, STRUCTURES, AND LOTS PROVISIONS OF THE CODE; AND CONCURRENCY REGULATIONS RELATING TO STORMWATER DRAINAGE LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Maxine Singh, Chief of Staff 4.1.2025 City of Dania Beach Public Services Memorandum DATE: 4/8/2025 TO: Mayor and Commissioners FROM: Ana M. Garcia, ICMA-CM, City Manager VIA: Fernando J. Rodriguez, Public Services Director Sean Schutten, Deputy Public Services Director SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO AWARD ITB NO. 25-003 “LIGHT POLE BANNER PRODUCTION AND INSTALLATION” Request: The Public Services Department (PSD) is requesting the City Commission's approval to award Bid (“ITB”) No. 25-003 “Light Pole Banner Production and Installation” to AAA Flag and Banner MFG. Background: The City has a year-round need to procure, install and change out attractive pole-mounted banners citywide to highlight various seasonal periods and special celebrations. Most recently, this included Dania Beach’s 120th anniversary, but banners are used annually for the Memorial Day and Independence Day events, the holiday season, etc. Well over one hundred banners are designed, manufactured and installed on a calendar-driven schedule. The City’s contract with its last banner service provider expired earlier in the year, and an ITB was therefore prepared and processed. The bids were opened in early March 2025, and the results are summarized below: TOTAL UNIT COST (incl. “emergency removal & installation”) • Valentino’s Paintings Signs Corp. $274.98 • Technology Partners Group LLC $363.00 • Holiday Outdoor Décor $371.95 • AAA Flag and Banner MFG $861.00-lowest or 2nd lowest in 3 of 5 categories • Blink Marketing Inc. $1,275.00 • Signed by BB,C dba PDF Signs $1,435.00 While AAA Flag & Banners Mfg. Co., Inc. (AAA Banners) was not the lowest overall unit price bidder; their pricing is the lowest or second lowest in the most frequently used services, including banner production, installation/change-outs and the 34-inch by 84-inch banner size. Moreover, a major consideration is that AAA Banners has provided pole banner design, manufacturing and installation services for the City for nearly three years, has been extremely reliable and, when called upon, has consistently provided a quick turnaround on banner orders from PSD and/or the Public Information Office. For these reasons, as well as their overall competitive pricing, they are recommended by PSD for the provision of this important and frequently used service. Budgetary Impact Based on FY24 expenditures on banner purchases, installations and changeouts, the projected cost for the current fiscal year is roughly $50,000. Funding for this contract will be appropriated from the Streets Contractual Services General Account No. 001-39-06-541-34-10. Recommendation PSD recommends approval to award Bid (“ITB”) No. 25-003 “Light Pole Banner Production and Installation” to AAA Flag and Banner MFG. RESOLUTION NO. 2025-______ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE AWARD OF BID NO. 25-003 "LIGHT POLE BANNER PRODUCTION AND INSTALLATION" TO AAA FLAG AND BANNERS MFG, PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the City requires light decorative banner production, installation and changeout services on a year-round basis to signal seasonal periods such as the holidays, patriotic dates, and anniversaries; and WHEREAS, ITB No. 25-003 "Light Pole Banner Production and Installation" was duly advertised in the Sun-Sentinel on January 21, 2025, and made available on the City's OpenGov portal; and WHEREAS, the bids were publicly opened on February 19, 2025, with the City receiving bids from six decorative pole banner services contractors; and WHEREAS, the three lowest overall unit pricing bids were not selected because the unit pricing submitted for the most frequently required categories, including banner production and installation/changeouts were not actually the lowest; and WHEREAS, AAA Flag and Banner MFG not only provided the lowest or second lowest unit pricing in three of five categories, but have demonstrated a high degree of reliability and responsiveness in its service to the City over the past three years; and WHEREAS, the Public Services Department (PSD) recommends the award of the bid to AAA Flag and Banner MFG. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION 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 2.That the City Commission authorizes the proper City officials to negotiate and prepare an agreement with AAA Flag and Banner MFG for the provision of decorative pole- mounted banner manufacturing and installation/changeouts. Section 3.That all resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict with this Resolution are repealed to the extent of such conflict. Section 4.That this Resolution shall be effective 10 days after passage. 2 RESOLUTION #2025-______ PASSED AND ADOPTED on __________________, 2025.

Garcia, ICMA-CM, City Manager VIA: Candido Sosa-Cruz, ICMA-CM, Deputy City Manager Eleanor Norena, CFM, Director Corinne Lajoie, AICP, Deputy Director SUBJECT: TX-040-24: The applicant, the City of Dania Beach, is requesting several text amendments to the City’s Code of Ordinances, Land Development Code (LDC) (SECOND READING). Request: TEXT AMENDMENT 1. Amending Section 206-80 (A), entitled “Green Design Practices” to add a green building practice. 2. Amending Section 265-80, entitled “Off-site parking facilities” to modify when off-street parking may be utilized. 3. Amending Section 307-20, entitled “Street landscaping and hardscaping” to modify planting requirements. 4. Amending Section 350-40, entitled “Planned Small Lot Mixed-Use Development District (PMUD-SL) Development Requirements”, to amend the vesting regulations. 5. Amending Section 505-160(F)(4)(3), entitled “Temporary signs” delete duplicative language. 6. Amending Section 710-20(A & B), entitled “Definitions and term usage” to revise definitions. 7. Amending Section 805-50(B)(2), entitled “Stormwater drainage level of service standards ” removing conflicting provisions. Background: On September 14, 2010, the City Commission approved the City’s new Land Development Code (LDC) referred to as OneCode which unified three separate zoning codes into one unified City code. As staff continues to use the new regulations, scrivener’s errors, inaccuracies and vague, imprecise or ambiguous language continues to emerge, some of which staff is proposing to address at this time. In addition, over time any set of regulations becomes antiquated unless periodically updated. The following amendments to the Unified LDC are proposed: 1. GREEN DESIGN PRACTICES This amendment adds an additional green design practice, dual flush toilets, to the list of eligible initiatives for developers to include in their development. 2. OFF-SITE PARKING FACILITIES Creates a provision that allows additional parking, more than required by code, to be shared. 3. STREET LANDSCAPING AND HARDSCAPING This amendment will allow an applicant to process an Administrative Variance if the existing swale width is less than required by code, instead of requiring a Variance to be heard at a public hearing. 4. PLANNED SMALL LOT MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (PMUD-SL) DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS This change eliminates reference to the Development Design Guidelines (DDG) in determining the quantity and timing of RAC land use allocation. Only the Site Plan will determine this information. 5. TEMPORARY SIGNS Amends the code to delete the duplicative language identifying the period of time a temporary sign may be allowed. 6. DEFINITIONS AND TERM USAGE Removes conflicting language and cross references the LDC in Chapter 28 with Chapter 12, entitled ‘Flood Damage Prevention’ of the City’s Code of Ordinances. 7. STORMWATER DRAINAGE This change removes the ‘Building’ provision in Chapter 28, as similar regulations existing in Chater 12, entitled ‘Flood Damage Prevention’ of the City’s Code of Ordinances. This application requires two (2) public hearings by the City Commission. Budgetary Impact Budgetary Impact None. Recommendation Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation On February 19, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval to the City Commission. City Commission Previous Action On March 11, 2025, the City Commission approved this request on first reading. Recommendation Staff is recommending the City Commission approve the proposed zoning amendments on the second and final reading.

Section 9. CITIZEN'S COMMENTS AS AN AGENDA ITEM 9.1 Addressing the Commission: A thirty (30) minute “Citizen Comments” period shall be designated on the agenda for citizens and interested persons to speak on matters whether or not scheduled on that day’s agenda. Individuals wishing to speak on a matter not included on the “Public Hearing” section of the agenda, which matter pertains to an item before the City Commission which requires a decision of the City Commission, may do so by submitting a form to that effect with the City Clerk prior to the meeting. Speakers at Public Hearings shall also submit such a form. Each speaker shall be limited to 3 minutes for his or her comments. If more than ten (10) speakers express a desire to speak, the Commission shall determine on a meeting by meeting basis whether to (a) extend the time allotted for citizen comments to accommodate all speakers, or (b) whether to limit the number of speakers or amount of time per speaker. A speaker’s time shall not be transferable to another speaker. Comments may be heard virtually when there is a need for City Hall and the Commission Chambers to be closed to the public. There are many airborne illnesses which people can contract by virtue of being in close contact with one another and therefore, as on ongoing exercise of the general police power and proprietary authority of the City, the City may from time to time, through the powers granted to the City Manager, require that certain health measures be implemented, regardless of the existence of any emergency order(s). Therefore, the City Manager may close Commission Chambers to public participation and may instead authorize virtual attendance and participation of employees 13 RESOLUTION #2025-______ and the public at large at City Commission meetings.
