ADJOURNMENT City of Dania Beach Finance Memorandum DATE: 9/15/2025 TO: Mayor and Commissioners FROM: Ana M. Garcia, ICMA-CM, City Manager VIA: Yeimy Guzman, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: A Resolution adopting the Fire Rescue Services Assessment Rates for Fiscal Year 2025-26 Request: The City Administration recommends that the City Commission approve a Resolution adopting the Fire Rescue Services Assessment Rates for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Background: The City of Dania Beach enacted Ordinance No. 10-96 (Ordinance), which authorizes the imposition of Fire Rescue Assessments for fire protection services, facilities, and programs against Assessed Property located within the City. The reimposition of a Fire Rescue Assessment for fire protection services, facilities, and programs each fiscal year is an equitable and efficient method of allocating and apportioning the Fire Assessed Cost among parcels of Assessed Property. The City desires to reimpose a Fire Rescue Assessment within the City using the procedures provided by the Ordinance, including the tax bill collection method for the Fiscal Year beginning on October 1, 2025. The City Commission, on July 8, 2025, adopted Resolution No. 2025-097 (2025 Preliminary Rate Resolution) as confirmed, supplemented, and amended herein, containing and referencing a brief and general description of the fire protection facilities, services and programs to be provided to Assessed Property, describing the method of apportioning the Fire Assessed Cost to compute the Fire Rescue Assessment for fire protection services, facilities, and programs against Assessed Property, updating and estimating a rate of assessment, and directing the updating and preparation of the Assessment Roll, and provision of published notice and mailed notice required by the Ordinance. In order to reimpose Fire Rescue Assessments for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2025, the Ordinance requires the City Commission during its budget adoption process for each Fiscal Year to adopt an Annual Rate Resolution which establishes the rate of assessment and approves the Assessment Roll for the upcoming Fiscal Year. The updated Assessment Roll for Fiscal Year 2025-26 has heretofore been made available for inspection by the public, as required by the Fire Assessment Ordinance; and notice of a public hearing has been published and mailed as required by the terms of the Ordinance and Florida Statutes. A public hearing was held on September 15, 2025, and comments and objections of all interested persons have been heard and considered as required by the Fire Assessment Ordinance. Budgetary Impact According to the consultant’s methodology report, the maximum Fire Services assessable costs are estimated to be $8,963,913. Finance recommends assessing for 100% of assessable fire services costs, resulting in a net budgeted levy of $8,605,356. The remaining costs of the Fire Protection budget, and all costs of EMS, will be funded by sources other than the special assessment. Notice of a public hearing has been published and mailed as required by the terms of the Ordinance and Florida Statutes. Recommendation Approve the Resolution adopting the Fire Rescue Services Assessment Rates for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

The City annually considers the continuance of the Fire Assessment program and the amount to be funded for Fire Services. This study intends to update the Fire Assessment program using current property, cost, and calls for service data. The calls for service data used to provide the basis of Fire Service cost allocation to property types can change over time, therefore periodic updates to the Fire Assessment calculations are required to accurately and fairly reflect current allocation parameters to benefited properties. In accordance with Florida Law, the costs associated with providing Fire Services and facilities must be reasonably apportioned to the properties that receive a benefit from Fire Service in proportion to the benefit received. Therefore, the recommended Fire Assessments calculated in this study were developed such that the costs incurred by the City in providing Fire Service will be recovered through assessments to properties in proportion to the benefit received by the demand for service as reflected in the calls for service from each respective property class. Study Procedures The study first identifies the full Fire Services cost requirements for FY 2026 that recognizes the high level of service traditionally provided by Broward Sherrif’s Office (BSO) and the City. This was accomplished by first allocating the full FY 2026 Proposed Fire Department budget between Fire Services and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) as required by Florida state statute. We also projected annual cost requirements for providing Fire Services in each year of a multi-year projection period from FY 2026 through FY 2030. This was accomplished through interactive work sessions with City staff to confirm allocation parameters, cost escalation rates, and the projected capital improvement plan. The FY 2026 Fire Service Net Revenue Requirement identified in the budget allocation and projection process was then apportioned to each property class based upon National Fire Incident Reporting System (NIFRS) calls for service data provided by the BSO. Current Fire Rescue Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Roll and Property data provided by the Broward County Property Appraiser was used as the primary data source for assigning assessment units to each parcel. Property classifications were based upon the currently assigned Fire Class Codes for each parcel as maintained on the Property Appraiser’s database. Once the allocation to property classes was complete, the Fire Assessment rate structure was developed and specific Fire Assessment rates for each property class were developed. Summary of Study Results Full (100%) Cost Recovery Rate Calculation To calculate the FY 2026 Fire Assessments, we utilized the apportioned costs and total units per property classification as discussed in detail in subsequent sections of this report. The amount of assessable costs allocable to each property class was divided by the number of assessment units identified in each property class to compute the City of Dania Beach / FY 2026 Fire Services Assessment Study 2 Fire Assessment to be imposed against each parcel. Table ES 1 below presents the calculated FY 2026 Assessment Rates at full (100%) cost recovery, as well as a comparison of the existing FY 2026 Assessment Rates: Table ES 1 – FY 2026 Assessment Rate Calculation – Full (100%) Cost Recovery While the full cost FY 2026 Net Revenue Requirement is apportioned to all properties, the actual revenue realized will be less because exempted property is included in the apportionment but cannot be billed/assessed. In addition, a 96% budget adjustment factor was used to calculate the estimated net collected revenue after accounting for early payment discounts to the assessment bills. Table ES 2 below presents the estimated net billed and estimated assessment revenue at full (100%) cost recovery. Table ES 2 – Net Billed and Estimated Collected Revenue – Full (100%) Cost Recovery Partial Cost Recovery Rate Calculation – Revenue Neutral Rates The City has requested Raftelis to calculate the assessments with the latest call and property data, targeting the same revenue that would be generated with the current adopted (FY 2025) rates. The Broward County Property Appraiser’s data shows that the current adopted rates would generate $8,465,100 (rounded) in billed assessment revenues. With the 96% budgetary adjustment/discount applied, the current rates would collect an estimated $8,126,500 (rounded) in net revenues. To accomplish the revenue target, the full cost NRR was reduced to 94.44% of the total potential costs. Table ES 3 below presents the rate calculations for this revenue target, while Table ES 4 shows the calculation of the target revenue.

The City annually considers the continuance of the Fire Assessment program and the amount to be funded for Fire Services. This study intends to update the Fire Assessment program using current property, cost and calls for service data. The City’s current FY 2025 Fire Assessment rates by property class are presented in Table 1 below. These rates produced an estimated net collections of approximately $7.5 million upon issuance in FY 2025. Table 1 – Current FY 2024 Fire Assessment Rates The calls for service data used to provide the basis of Fire Service cost allocation to property types can change over time, therefore periodic updates to the Fire Assessment calculations are required to accurately and fairly reflect current allocation parameters to benefited properties. The term “Fire Services” as used in this study refers to the twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week service for fire suppression provided to City properties. The City has previously determined that the owners of property benefited by the proposed Fire Services should share in funding these services by imposition of non-ad valorem assessments. The City can fund through assessments up to 100% of the net Fire Services assessable costs, estimated to be $9,845,342 in fiscal year 2026, as detailed in subsequent sections of this report. The City contracts with the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) for Fire Rescue Services and it also has legacy pension and other City costs that must continue to be funded in addition to those pension costs charged by BSO. Methodology The development of a Non-Ad Valorem Assessment to fund Fire Services requires that the services and facilities for which properties are to be assessed confer a special benefit upon the property burdened by the special assessment. Simply stated, there must be a logical relationship between the services and facilities provided and the benefit to real property assessed. In addition to the special benefit requirement, the costs associated with providing the services and facilities must be reasonably apportioned to the properties that receive a benefit from Fire Service in proportion to the benefit received. Therefore, the recommended Fire Assessments calculated in this study were developed such that the costs incurred by the City in providing Fire Service will be recovered through assessments to properties in proportion to the benefit received by the demand for service as reflected in the calls for service from each respective property class.

The first section discusses relevant Florida Law regarding Special Non-Ad Valorem Assessments, followed by sections discussing how Florida Law has been applied to the determination of special benefit and the apportionment of the annual revenue requirements of the Fire Assessment to benefitting properties. SUMMARY OF RELEVANT FLORIDA LAW GOVERNING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS This section discusses relevant Florida Law regarding special non-ad valorem assessments as it relates to the City’s proposed Fire Assessment program. The discussion covers how Florida law relates to special benefit and proportional benefit. Special non-ad valorem assessments are a revenue source available to local governments in Florida to fund capital improvements as well as operations and maintenance expenses for essential services such as roads, drainage, Fire Services, utilities, etc. Florida case law has established two requirements for the imposition of a non -ad valorem special assessment. These two requirements have become known as the “two-pronged test”. They are 1) the property assessed must derive a special benefit from the improvement, service or facilities provided, and 2) the assessment must be fairly and reasonably apportioned among the properties that receive the special benefit. In considering special benefit, the following question must be considered, “Can a special benefit be derived from Fire Service by all properties within the City to meet the first prong of the two pronged test, even if all properties are not improved and/or do not receive calls for service?”. The answer is yes, based in part upon the Florida Supreme Court determination in Fire District No. 1 of Polk County v. Jenkins, a sufficient special benefit is derived by the availability of fire services to justify the imposition of the special assessment. Also, in Meyer v. City of Oakland Park, the Court upheld a sewer assessment on both improved and unimproved property, stating that the benefit need not be direct or immediate but must be substantial, certain and capable of being realized within a reasonable time. Also, In City of Hallandale v. Meekins, the Court indicated that the proper measure of benefits accruing to property from the assessed improvement was not limited to the existing use of the property, but exten ded to any future use which could reasonably be made. PROPORTIONAL BENEFIT It is well settled under Florida law that local governments are afforded great latitude regarding legislative determinations of special benefit and reasonable apportionment of costs (as evidenced by the Florida Supreme Court finding in City of Boca Raton v. State of Florida), that the apportionment of benefits is a legislative function, and that legislative determinations as to benefit and apportionment will be upheld unless the determination is arbitrary – that is, if reasonable persons may differ as to whether the land assessed was benefitted by the local improvement, the findings of the City officials must be sustained. In City of Boca Raton v. State of Florida, the Florida Supreme Court also determined that the manner of the assessment is immaterial and may vary, as long as the amount of the assessment for each tract is not in excess of the proportional benefits as compared to other assessments on other tracts. Accordingly, while any number of methodologies may be available for a given service or improvement, the community imposing the assessment is at liberty to select the methodology which provides the best fit in terms of local needs and circumstances. SPECIAL BENEFIT – THE FIRST PRONG OF THE TWO-PRONGED TEST Based upon discussions with City staff about the extent and nature of the Fire Services provided, we have concluded that all parcels within the City receive a special benefit from the Fire Services provided by BSO. In considering special benefit, it is important to consider that BSO maintains its Fire resources at a level that provides City of Dania Beach / FY 2026 Fire Services Assessment Study 6 a response readiness condition to respond to calls for service throughout the City at relatively equal levels of service. When needed, responses are made to calls for service without discrimination as to the property type, size, location within the City, or any other factors specific to the property requiring the service. In addition, Vacant lands not used actively in the production of agricultural products and services have Fire Services provided to them, and the City has determined that Fire Services provided to those lands derive benefit to them, due to the urbanized nature of the City. As such, all properties receive a special benefit from the mere availability of Fire Services. Such benefit is independent of, and realized even in the absence of, a call or need for actual service. The benefits include: • Continuous availability of immediate response to fire. • Provision of first responder medical aid to protect the life and safety of occupants. • Enhanced property value, marketability of and/or ability to develop property. • Lowering the cost of Fire Insurance by the presence of a professional and comprehensive Fire Service • Protection against the spread of fire to neighboring parcels, thereby limiting and containing liability. • Increased use and enjoyment of the parcel derived from continual and immediately available comprehensive fire protection service should the need arise. • Enhanced marketability and value of the parcel when compared to a similarly configured parcel for which fire protection services are unavailable. Therefore, the first prong of the two-pronged test (the property burdened by the assessment must derive a special benefit from the service provided by the assessment) is met because all properties in the City receive a special benefit from the City-wide Fire Service provided by BSO. FAIR APPORTIONMENT – THE SECOND PRONG OF THE TWO-PRONGED TEST In considering the assessment methodology, the second prong of the two-pronged test requires that the costs of the assessment must be fairly and reasonably apportioned among the properties that receive the special benefit. The Fire Services apportionment methodology used in this study allocates assessable costs based on the demand for Fire Services by classes of real property use as identified on the real property assessment roll prepared for the levy of ad valorem taxes. First, the assessable Fire Services costs are allocated among real property use categories based upon the historical demand for these services (cost apportionment). This demand is identified by examining the past three years of fire incident/calls for service data as reported by BSO to the State Fire Marshal’s office. Second, the costs attributed to each property class are apportioned among the parcels on a per dwelling unit basis for Residential uses, a square footage basis for non-residential uses, and a per acre basis for vacant parcels (parcel apportionment). Further discussion of the consideration of fair apportionment is continued after the presentation of source data, methodology and assessment rate calculation in subsequent sections of this report. City of Dania Beach / FY 2026 Fire Services Assessment Study 7 Section 2 – Fire Services Costs Fire and Rescue Service Allocation Florida case law requires that the imposition of a special assessment for Fire Services only be used to fund Fire Services and first response rescue services. A Fire Assessment may not fund Emergency Medical Services (EMS), including transportation (Florida Supreme Court opinion in City of North Lauderdale v. SMM Properties -825 So.2d 343 Fla. 2002). The City utilizes personnel who are certified firefighters that may also be qualified medical personnel. Personnel assigned to medical units may also be called upon to assist in firefighting duties. Because emergency medical services are not services for which the City can assess property, costs for those services cannot be included in the total fire services costs to determine the allowable assessed costs. Mutual aid services provided by other Fire Departments do not cost the City anything and those calls acco rdingly are not considered in this assessment. BSO provides the City with an annual “Consideration” budget that becomes the contract cost for the ensuing fiscal year. The budget is for fire, rescue, inspection, and administrative costs of providing fire rescue services. Additionally, the City has costs in addition to its contract with BSO. When BSO took over fire rescue operations from the City, it was left with significant legacy pension costs related to its former employees that still must be funded. Similarly, the City must fund those employees share of the City’s other post-employment benefits (generally retiree medical costs). The City must also pay for the costs of administering the assessment itself. These costs include legal and professional fees, notification fees from the property appraiser’s office, advertising, and discounts allowed on early payments of property tax bills. Of the sum of these costs, only those costs directly attributable or allocated to fire services can be included in the assessment. The remaining costs relate to the combined fire and EMS and must be allocated between the operations of those two services. While there are many ways to allocate the costs of these services, we have chosen to allocate them in proportion to the staffing of full-time equivalents (FTEs) by their function and shift assignment per apparatus. Fire Services budgets are largely driven by personnel costs. Fire costs are largely driven by insuring standby availability in the event of a fire. Similarly, EMS costs are largely driven by insuring standby availability in the event of a medical emergency. Although calls for service are used to allocate the Fire Services costs to the property classes (which is discussed in a later section of this report), calls for service are not a good basis for allocation between Fire Services and EMS because of the standby nature of those services which require a constant employ of personnel and facilities to be ready to respond. Accordingly, we believe that the fairest apportionment method is one that utilizes a personnel assignment-based allocation. As of FY 2026, BSO operates two fire suppression apparatus vehicles (Quints) and three rescue vehicles. The Quints each require three personnel each shift. Each rescue unit now maintains three personnel per shift. Each unit requires three sets of personnel by shift, therefore FTEs for each apparatus are multiplied by three times the personnel assignment per shift. BSO maintains one Fire Prevention Officer, and five Fire Safety Inspectors, all fully allocated to Fire Services. Finally, the District Fire Chief and Administrative Assistant are allocated to Fire and Rescue by the weighted results of the directly allocated personnel. Table 2 below presents the results of the personnel allocation. City of Dania Beach / FY 2026 Fire Services Assessment Study 8 Table 2 – Allocation of Personnel between Fire and Rescue Calculation of the Net Revenue Requirement To calculate the Fire Services Net Revenue Requirement (NRR) for FY 2026 and beyond, the proposed FY 2026 BSO budget as well as other City costs for Fire Services were projected using cost escalation factors identified by City Staff. In each year of the projection period, offsetting revenues from other sources were deducted from the expenditure requirements so that the full complement of dedicated Fire revenues is not double recovered. A 4% allowance (i.e. assumed reduction in fee revenues) for early payment/statutory discounts was included to determine the annual net revenue requirements to be recovered by the fire assessment fees. The projection of Fire Services Net Revenue Requirement for FY 2026 – FY 2030 is presented in Table 3. The Net Revenue Requirement in FY 2026 through FY 2030 represents 100% Cost Recovery or Maximum Allocated costs for the annual assessments as calculated herein.

Additionally, and to keep the proposed apportionment categories as close to the existing categories as possible, we relied upon the Fire Class codes currently maintained by the BCPA. The BCPA has previously identified and coded the improved properties by type and assigned each parcel an appropriate Fire Class Code. We reviewed consistency in this data, and it was determined to be of high accuracy. This data has also undergone considerable review over time through prior studies. The Fire Class codes used are as follows: • Residential (“R”) This includes all residential dwelling units, be they single family, multifamily, mobile homes, or mobile home lots. This includes separate or attached guest houses or “granny flats” or anything considered a residential dwelling unit. • Commercial (“C”) This includes all property used for commercial activity, except where otherwise identified by its own Fire Class code and includes office and retail uses. It also includes recreational vehicle lots converted to commercial square footage as provided by statute. • Government (“X”) This includes any property owned by a federal, state, or local government. • Special (“S”, and generally mixed use) This includes property that has more than one use or improvement that contains more than one Fire Class code. An example might be a parcel which contained both a warehouse and an office use. Each use will be assigned the cost for that use. • Vacant Acreage Parcels Not Developed (“A”) This includes land that does not contain any improvement or structure but excludes property classified as agricultural. • Warehouse/Industrial (“W”) This includes manufacturing and processing sites, storage units (whether for commercial or non-commercial purposes), and warehousing sites. • Miscellaneous (“Y”) This includes properties that are used for Charitable, Educational, Literary, Scientific, or Religious organizations, or other properties defined under Florida Statutes. These properties may be assessed or may be excluded by the City from year-to- year. It should also be noted that properties that can sometimes be exempt from this assessment (e.g., church -owned residential properties, portions of warehouses used for exempt purposes, portions of office buildings used for exempt purposes) remain classified as “R”, “C”, “W”, etc. and are included in the assessment calculations, but are not assessed if the City has excluded them from the assessment levy. In addition, all Residential, Vacant, Commercial or Warehouse units for parcels categorized as “X” or “Y” are assigned to the relevant assessment types for allocation and rate calculation, even though the parcels are exempt ultimately not billed. For example, if a property is shown to contain a single-family residential dwelling (“R”) but is owned by a Church (“Y”), it’s dwelling unit will be allocated to the Residential rate calculation, but the parcel will not be billed the assessment. Again, these codes are used by BCPA to assist them in the administration of their rolls, and we believe them to be highly accurate at the parcel level. City of Dania Beach / FY 2026 Fire Services Assessment Study 11 Each BCPA parcel for the City also has, in addition to a Fire Class code, a Fire Basis element, which indicates the number of applicable billing units located on the parcel. For example, a single-family residential dwelling unit would have a Fire Basis element of “1”, indicating that the fixed residential assessment rate would be multiplied by “1” to arrive at an assessment amount and a duplex residential dwelling unit would have a Fire Basis element of “2”, indicating that the fixed residential assessment rate would be multiplied by “2” to arrive at an assessment amount, and so on. Commercial, Warehouse/Industrial, and Not -for-profit are based upon the square footage of buildings on the property. The sum of all structures of similar fire class are added to gether to determine the total square footage for each fire class on each parcel. Acreage is based upon the number or fraction of an acre for the parcel. The Fire Class code “S”, Special, generally includes mixed -use parcels that have mixed assessment rates applied to them. The sum of each category (e.g., “Residential”, “Commercial”, etc.) are added together within this coding. The Fire Basis element code in this Fire Class code in this category indicates the amount of the assessment for that Fire Class code. The BCPA handles mixed-use parcels as exceptions and manually calculates the assessment based upon the particular mix of uses that exist on those parcels. Mobile Home parks are assessed whether or not a lot/space is occupied. Each mobile home lot/space is assessed a residential assessment rate. The commercial component of a mobile home park may include a calculation based on the total of any commercial structures located on the parcel plus an assigned commercial structure size of the minimum square footage of 1,200 square feet that is mandated by the Department of Health under Chapter 64E-15.002(3), Florida Administrative Code for Recreational Vehicle Park spaces and a square footage of 500 square feet for tent spaces inside Recreational Vehicle Parks, also as mandated by Chapter 64E- 15.002(3), Florida Administrative Code. The City does not have any parks that have only recreational vehicles. Mobile home parks are mixed-use parcels. There were 14,301 unique parcels or folio numbers within the City of Dania Beach fire assessment district provided to us by the BCPA in June 2025. Among these individual parcels are non-assessable, fully excluded parcels such as residential multi-family common areas, submerged lands, lake bottoms, right of ways, etc. For all real property used in the allocation of the NRR, the unit counts by BCPA Fire Class category code and use code counts appear below: Table 4 – Identified Units by BCPA Fire Class Category The City may not ultimately assess all the properties within these fire class categories for Fire Services as the City traditionally has exempted some uses (e.g., non-profits, houses of worship, and other properties also exempt from property taxes) of property from the fire assessment.

The costs associated with any exempt parcels have not been reallocated to the remaining non-exempt parcels and those costs are assumed by other sources of City revenue. Calls For Service Analysis The costs identified in this study are apportioned to property categories based upon an analysis of the calls for service data provided by BSO. The call/incident data identified the number and type of calls made by City Fire and EMS vehicles for three fiscal-years beginning October 1, 2021 (FY 2022) – September 30, 2024 (FY 2024). The call/incident data is extracted from the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NIFRS). The data field containing the type of call/incident was used to separate calls determined to be Fire Services, and those determined to be EMS or other non-Fire calls. Only Fire Services calls were used for the apportionment of the Fire Assessments. Schedule 1 of Appendix A presents the full list of unique call/incident types in the data set provided by BSO, and the identification of incident type as being either Fire or EMS for the assessment calculations. Certain call types were considered Non-Fire related such as cancelled calls, false alarms or erroneous records. We also excluded from the call data calls to property that was located outside of the City limits or served for fire rescue by other entities, such as the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport or Port E verglades. The call data represented 20,884 calls over the three fiscal-year time period. Of these calls, 2,190 were identified by incident type as Fire related. Beyond identifying the call/incident type, we then allocated the Fire calls using property types as coded in the call data. Schedule 2 of Appendix A presents each unique property use code in the NIFRS data, and the application of the property categories to each code as utilized in this study. Of the 2,190 calls identified as Fire related, 2,048 were calls to real property and specific property uses. The remaining 142 calls were to non-real property or non-specific property and were therefore excluded from the apportionment analysis. The remaining 2,048 calls were assigned to the assessment property classifications. Table 5 below illustrates the assignment of calls to the property categories identified in the previous subsection. The percentages identified in the Fire Calls to Real Property are used to allocate the FY 2026 Net Revenue Requirement to each property class. Table 5 – Fire Call Allocation to Real Property, by Property Type All Eligible Calls - Real Property BCPA Code 3-Year Call Total % of Total Acreage, Vacant, Lot A 11 0.54% Commercial C 819 39.99% Residential R 1,043 50.93% Warehouse/Industrial W 71 3.47% Government X 88 4.30% Not For Profit Y 16 0.78% 2,048 100.00% City of Dania Beach / FY 2026 Fire Services Assessment Study 13 Apportionment of the Net Revenue Requirement The next step in the Fire Assessment calculation is to allocate the FY 2026 Net Revenue Requirement amongst the property classes. This is done by utilizing the allocations of Fire calls to real property as identified in the previous section. Featured below, Table 6 contains the apportionment of the FY 2026 Net Revenue Requirement to the identified property classes. Table 6 – Allocation of FY 2026 Net Revenue Requirement Fire Assessment Rate Calculation Full (100%) Cost Recovery Rate Calculation To calculate the FY 2026 Fire Assessments, we utilized the apportioned costs and total units per property classification as identified in the previous sections of this report. The amount of assessable costs allocable to each property class was divided by the number of assessment units identified i n each property class to compute the Fire Assessment to be imposed against each parcel. Table 7 below presents the calculated FY 2026 Assessment Rates at full (100%) cost recovery, as well as a comparison of the existing FY 2025 Assessment Rates: Table 7 – FY 2026 Assessment Rate Calculation – Full (100%) Cost Recovery While the full cost FY 2026 Net Revenue Requirement is apportioned to all properties, the actual revenue realized will be less because exempted property is included in the apportionment but cannot be billed/assessed.

Table 8 – Net Billed and Estimated Collected Revenue – Full (100%) Cost Recovery Partial Cost Recovery Rate Calculation – Revenue Neutral Rate Target Scenario The City has requested Raftelis to calculate the assessments with the latest call and property data, targeting the same revenue that would be generated with the current adopted (FY 2025) rates. The Broward County Property Appraiser’s data shows that the current adopted rates would generate $8,465,100 (rounded) in billed assessment revenues. With the 96% budgetary adjustment/discount applied, the current rates would collect an estimated $8,126,500 (rounded) in net revenues. To accomplish the revenue target, the full cost NRR was reduced to 94.44% of the total potential costs. Table 9 below presents the rate calculations for this revenue target, while Table 10 shows the calculation of the target revenue.

It is fair and reasonable to allocate costs to any particular non-residential structure without any limit to the square footage of a structure as large buildings require more resources and more value of property benefits from fire protection. It is fair and reasonable to not consider the flow capacity of fire apparatus as a limiting factor to fire protection as larger buildings will have fire flows provided independent of the apparatus cumulative pumping capacity. The amount of personnel engaged in firefighting increases with building size and personnel costs are the l argest costs in fire protection. Buildings cannot be permitted for construction if a local government cannot provide adequate fire protection at the time they are ready for occupancy. Accordingly, we have removed tranches from earlier studies and have determined that limits on the size of structures may shift the cost burden to owners of smaller structures. Apportioning costs among classifications of property (Fire Class code) based upon both historical demand for fire rescue services is fair and reasonable and proportional to the special benefit received and will ensure that no property is assessed an amount greater than the special benefit received. Apportioning costs to unimproved properties is fair and reasonable as fire call data demonstrates that there are calls to those properties that are not infrequent. Fires on unimproved properties can spread to other parcels, both improved and unimproved, and in an urban environment, uncontrolled or unaddressed fires can cause significant damage. Property owners can be held responsible for fires on their property that spread to other parcels. The fire rescue incident reports (NFIRS) are the most reliable data available to determine the potential demand for fire services from property use and to determine the benefit to property use resulting from the demand for fire services to protect and serve buildings and land located within assessed property and their intended occupants. There exist sufficient fire incident reports that document the historical demand for fire services from assessed property within the property use categories. The relative demand that has been determined for each property use BCPA Category Description BCPA Code Allocated Assessment Less: Exemptions Total Billed Assessment Acreage (Vacant)A 49,940$ (2,696)$ 47,244$ Commercial C 3,718,268$ (125,958)$ 3,592,310$ Residential R 4,735,231$ (229,029)$ 4,506,201$ Warehouse/Industrial W 322,341$ (2,773)$ 319,568$ Government, Exempt X 399,521$ (399,521)$ -$ Not For Profit, Exempt Y 72,640$ (72,640)$ -$ 9,297,941$ (832,617)$ 8,465,324$ Budgetary Adjustment/Discount 96% FY 2026 Estimated Collected Revenue 8,126,711$ City of Dania Beach / FY 2026 Fire Services Assessment Study 16 category by an examination of such fire incident reports is consistent with the experience of the City. Therefore, the use of the relative percentages that were determined by an examination of fire rescue incident reports is a fair and reasonable method to apportion the fire services assessed costs among the property use categories (Fire Class codes). Neither the size nor the value of the residential property determines the scope of the required fire response by the City. The potential demand for fire services is driven by the existence of a dwelling unit. Apportioning the percentage of the fire services assessed costs relating to the relative demand for fire services attributable to residential property on a per dwelling unit basis (Fire Basis) is required to avoid cost inefficiency and unnecessary administration and is a fair and reasonable method of parcel apportionment based upon historical call data. The separation of non-residential property buildings by actual square footage (Fire Basis) is fair and reasonable for the purpose of parcel apportionment for the relative demand because the demand for fire service is determined and measured by the actual square footage of structures and improvements within benefited parcels. The greater the building area, the greater the potential for a large fire and the greater the amount of firefighting resources that must be available in the event of a fire in a structure of that building’s size. It is fair and reasonable to correlate a building’s benefit directly to a building’s size, without limit. Based upon the historical demand for fire protection services, the percentages of the City’s total fire protection assessable costs attributable to vacant non-agricultural properties were calculated. The costs attributable to parcels were divided by the number of acres (Fire Basis) associated with parcels in the Acreage category to compute the fire assessment rate per acre. An acreage charge is a fair and reasonable allocation for vacant non-agricultural properties. For residential parcels that contain non-residential buildings, non-residential improvements located on the parcel were treated according to their non-residential property use category and size to compute the parcel’s non- residential fire protection assessment. This assessment was then added to the parcel’s residential fire services assessment. For non-residential parcels that contain a residence, the number of dwelling units by type located on the parcel was multiplied by the rate per dwelling unit to compute the parcel’s residential fire services assessment. This assessment was then added to the parcel’s non-residential fire services assessment. For agricultural parcels that contain a residence or non-residential building, the parcel was assessed for the actual number of dwelling units by type located on the parcel and/or the appropriate assessment for the non-residential building square footage. The property used for agricultural purposes was not assessed. We believe that the apportionment methodology prepared here is fair and reasonable and benefits the property that will be assessed and that it fits the particular properties in and nature of the City of Dania Beach. City of Dania Beach / FY 2026 Fire Services Assessment Study 17 Section 4 – Summary of Recommendations Based upon the results of the analysis presented herein, we recommend the following: 1. We recommend the Assessment Rates presented herein to be adopted by the City for FY 2026 at or below the full cost recovery calculation. 2. We recommend the City continue its policy of evaluating the fire assessment rates on an annual basis and adjusting the assessment rates to reflect increases in the cost of Fire Service. 3. We recommend the City to continue to update the fire assessment rates annually to keep pace with ongoing changes in costs, call allocations and property demographics.

Garcia, ICMA-CM, City Manager VIA: Yeimy Guzman, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: A Resolution adopting the Solid Waste Service Assessment Rate for Fiscal Year 2025-26 Request: The City Administration recommends that the City Commission approve a Resolution adopting the Solid Waste Service Assessment Rate for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Background: The City of Dania Beach enacted Ordinance No. 09 96 (the "Ordinance"), which authorizes the imposition of Solid Waste Service Assessments for Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Services, facilities or programs against assessed property located within the City. Solid Waste Service Assessments are not being imposed upon all improved properties within the City, as certain improved properties are subject to direct billing arrangements with an authorized commercial collection service provider for collection and disposal of Solid Waste. The re-imposition of a Solid Waste Service Assessment for Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Services, facilities, or programs each fiscal year is an equitable and efficient method of allocating and apportioning the Solid Waste cost among parcels of assessed property. The City Commission on July 8, 2025, adopted Resolution No. 2025-098 (the "2025 Preliminary Rate Resolution"), containing and referencing a brief and general description of the Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Services, facilities or programs to be provided to assessed property, describing the method of apportioning the Solid Waste cost for Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Services, facilities or programs against assessed property, directing the updating and preparation of the Assessment Roll for Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2025 ("Fiscal Year 2025-26") and the provision of published notice required by the Ordinance and mailed notice. In order to re-impose Solid Waste Service Assessments for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2025, the Ordinance requires the City Commission to adopt an Annual Rate Resolution during its budget adoption process for each Fiscal Year, which establishes the rate of assessment and approves the Assessment Roll for the upcoming Fiscal Year, with such amendments as the City Commission deems appropriate, after hearing comments and objections of all interested parties. A public hearing was held on September 15, 2025, during which comments and objections of all interested parties were heard and considered, as required by the terms of the Ordinance. Budgetary Impact The recommended annual Residential Solid Waste Services Assessment of $412.32 is intended to fund approximately $2.989 million of the City’s Solid Waste function, with a gross levy of $3.129 million. Recommendation Approve the Resolution adopting the Solid Waste Service Assessment Rate for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

(F) Based upon the rates of assessment approved, an interim Stormwater Assessment shall be imposed against all property for which a Certificate of Occupancy is issued or change in land use occurs after adoption of the Annual Stormwater Assessment Resolution. The amount of the interim Stormwater Assessment shall be calculated upon a monthly rate, which shall be one- twelfth of the annual rate for such property computed in accordance with the Annual Stormwater Assessment Resolution for the Fiscal Year in which the Certificate of Occupancy is issued or change in land use occurs. Such monthly rate shall be imposed for each full calendar month remaining in the Fiscal Year. In addition to the monthly rate, the interim Stormwater Assessment shall also include an estimate of the subsequent Fiscal Year’s Stormwater Assessment.

DAVIS CITY CLERK MAYOR APPROVED AS TO FORM AND CORRECTNESS: EVE A. BOUTSIS CITY ATTORNEY City of Dania Beach Finance Memorandum DATE: 9/15/2025 TO: Mayor and Commissioners FROM: Ana M. Garcia, ICMA-CM, City Manager VIA: Yeimy Guzman, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Approval of a Resolution adopting proposed millage rates for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2026 Request: The City Administration requests approval of a Resolution adopting proposed millage rates for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2026. Background: The City Manager has prepared and submitted to the City Commission an annual report covering the operation of the City and has set forth in it an estimate of the expenditures and revenues of the City for the ensuing year beginning October 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2026. The City Manager has presented to the City Commission detailed information supporting such estimates, affording the City Commission a comprehensive understanding of the City Government for the ensuing period identified above, including expenditures for corresponding items during the last two fiscal years and increased and decreased demands for the ensuing year as compared with corresponding appropriations for the last fiscal year. The City Commission has met and carefully considered the annual report and estimate and has determined and fixed the amount necessary to carry on the government of the City for the ensuing year, has prepared a tentative budget setting forth the amounts necessary to be raised for the various departments of the City, and has appropriated such amounts to the various departments of the City considering the applicable funds on hand and the estimated departmental revenues. The City Commission has determined that in order to produce a sufficient sum to fund the tentative proposed budget, it is necessary that an operating millage of 5.9998 be levied against ad valorem valuation of property subject to taxation in the City, and the “rolled back rate” is 5.6588 mills, and the proposed millage reflects a 6.03% increase over the rolled-back rate. The City Commission has further determined that, in order to sufficiently fund its debt obligations, the voted debt service millage rate shall be 0.0985 mills. Budgetary Impact Adoption of the following proposed millage rates will provide the required funding for the operations and debt service of the City of Dania Beach for the Fiscal Year ending September 30, 2026: Operating: 5.9998 (no change) Debt Service: 0.0985 (no change) Total combined millage levy: 6.0983 This results in an estimated gross combined ad valorem levy of $48,263,595, with a net budgeted revenue of $46,091,732. Recommendation Approve the Resolution adopting proposed millage rates for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2026.

Counties and municipalities, including dependent special districts and MSTUs, which adopt a tax levy at the final hearing higher than allowed under s. 200.065, F.S., may be subject to the loss of their half-cent sales tax distribution. DR-420MM-P shows the preliminary maximum millages and taxes levied based on your proposed adoption vote. Each taxing authority must complete, sign, and submit this form to their property appraiser with their completed DR-420, Certification of Taxable Value. The vote at the final hearing and the resulting maximum may change. After the final hearing, each taxing authority will file a final Form DR-420MM, Maximum Millage Levy Calculation Final Disclosure, with Form DR-487, Certification of Compliance, with the Department of Revenue. Specific tax year references in this form are updated each year by the Department. Line Instructions Lines 5-10 Only taxing authorities that levied a 202ϯ millage rate less than their maximum majority vote rate must complete these lines. The adjusted rolled-back rate on Line 10 is the rate that would have been levied if the maximum vote rate for 2022 had been adopted. If these lines are completed, enter the adjusted rate on Line 11. Line 12 This line is entered by the Department of Revenue. The same adjustment factor is used statewide by all taxing authorities. It is based on the change in per capita Florida personal income (s. 200.001(8)(i), F.S.), which Florida Law requires the Office of Economic and Demographic Research to report each year. Lines 13 and 14 Millage rates are the maximum that could be levied with a majority or two-thirds vote of the full membership of the governing body. With a unanimous vote of the full membership (three-fourths vote of the full membership if the governing body has nine or more members) or a referendum, the maximum millage rate that can be levied is the taxing authority’s statutory or constitutional cap. Line 16 Check the box for the minimum vote necessary at the final hearing to levy your adopted millage rate. Line 17 Enter the millage rate indicated by the box checked in Line 16. If the proposed millage rate is equal to or less than the majority vote maximum millage rate, enter the majority vote maximum. If a two-thirds vote, a unanimous vote, or a referendum is required, enter the proposed millage rate. For a millage requiring more than a majority vote, the proposed millage rate must be entered on Line 17, rather than the maximum rate, so that the comparisons on Lines 21 through 25 are accurate.

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 Throughout the last couple of weather events, our City Team continues to enhance our visibility throughout the city with added proactive measures. Additionally, we have elevated our response to our residents to provide assurance and assistance when needed. Many of our residents reach out to our City Commission and I and we immediately activate “the plan” via our Deputy City Manager, Director of Public Services and our Deputy/ City Engineer. Prior to any calls or emails received, we are clearing storm drains in anticipation of storms. We also have necessary barricades ready such as the ones deployed to SE 10th street to restrict vehicle access. Other areas such as 34th Terrace, we are pleased to report that the new drainage system is working very well. This gravity-based system discharges into the existing outfalls in the Dania cutoff canal. Other areas reported to us such as 37th Terrace (a project we completed) are draining nicely as well as Stirling Oaks Estates. Other areas such as Gulfstream Road are draining well. It’s important to note that during heavy torrential rain, water will accumulate, however, the key is the timing of water draining and that has been observed throughout our entire City. All the completed projects, (a record number these past 6 years) have been a huge success! We look forward to the completion of the SE drainage project and upcoming projects on the west by the Greek Restaurant and the future project adjacent to PJ Meli Park. I am extremely happy and proud to report that at the annual National Savvy Awards ceremony; the City of Dania Beach was honored and awarded once again! We received the Award of Excellence in the recurring event category from the City-County Communications and Marketing Association! This category honors events that occur more than once and demonstrates sustained strategic planning, brand consistency and long-term community engagement. The evolution of Dania After Dark and the collaboration between Parks and Recreation and our Marketing team has been instrumental in our ongoing success. Kudos to Director of Marketing and Communications Nanette Rodriguez and Manager Sussette Rodriguez for all their efforts resulting in back-to-back years where the City of Dania Beach is recognized at the National level! One of our signature Dania After Dark Events, Oktoberfest, is just around the corner. In less than a month on Saturday, October 11th, we will have another truly amazing event for the entire family! Entertainment for all, interactive activities for kids, great food and yes lots of beer tasting and much fun for everyone. As of September 9th, more than 225 tickets have been pre-sold. This past Monday, September 8th, Deputy Manager Sosa-Cruz, Parks and Recreation Director Waren, City Attorney Boutsis, School Board Representative Bulman and I met with Dr. Wanza from BCPS and her senior team to discuss Olsen Middle School. We expressed our great disappointment and dissatisfaction with how they are handling our beloved Olsen Middle, and the adverse effects on our students, parents and community. In the meeting we reiterated our game plan and alignment of words with actions; something that other cities have failed to do. According to Deputy Superintendent Dr. Wanza, while we are putting forth a great investment, others are “asking the school board to give them monies in order for them to get involved”. I must reiterate the time, swift response and efforts by our School Board Representative, Attorney Maura Bulman, who since August 27th has been nonstop conversing with me and bridging our communication and concerns with BCPS senior team and Superintendent. This Friday, September 12th, we have a scheduled meeting with Superintendent Hepburn as we continue our plight to ensure Olsen Middle remains open, viable and a thriving school in our community. We were able to get BCPS to change the meeting date where Olsen, Attucks and McNicol Middle Schools will be the topic of discussion. The new date is Wednesday, September 17th at 6:00pm at South Broward High. I will be in attendance ready to speak again on behalf of Olsen and our Community and I encourage our Mayor, Vice Mayor and Commissioners to once again attend, write letters and contact as many members of the BCPS elected officials as we have done before. Please note, we contribute in excess of $41 million in taxes to BCPS and we are growing in population with all the housing units we have approved to date. We have been extremely successful in our combined Team efforts in the past and I remain confident that we will prevail! The first reading of our budget ordinance that you have before you has been the greatest challenge this administration has faced in the total 6 budgets we have meticulously prepared since 2020. It is during the most difficult times that we truly get to witness what our team is capable of achieving, and I could not be more pleased with Team Dania Beach. Our proposed budget is a reflection of our unanimously adopted Strategic Master Plan furthering our commitment and vision for our City. Public Safety, Parks, Infrastructure and enhancement of all our communication and marketing strategies are at the forefront of this methodological approach to excellence in budgeting. Our Chief Financial Officer Guzman has worked tirelessly and deliberately with the office of the City Manager, all our City Departments and our Mayor, Vice Mayor and Commissioners to deliver a balanced budget, a blueprint for our continued prosperity and the ongoing “renaissance” of Dania Beach. Congratulations to all involved on another example of the power of “Teamwork” at its best. On August 26th, Parks and Recreation Director Waren and I did a thorough walkthrough at CW Thomas Park with the Superintendent of Construction from the Burkehart Group. I am very pleased to report that the progress has been remarkable. As a former Director of Parks and Recreation with a multitude of completed projects under my belt, by far our current project with an investment of over $21 million dollars is the very best. We are working with Mayor Davis to schedule our next “Mayor on the Move” to highlight the progress of CW this month. By next month in mid-October, we will be demolishing the last structure remaining on the campus. We will plan a grand opening of CW Thomas Park for January of 2026 to celebrate this historic and unprecedented milestone in our City. We are in the final stages of the project for our new City Service Clubs sign with your unanimous support and approval of the design and we are nearing completion of construction. We will look at some dates to offer up as we plan the installation and unveiling on the south side at Dania Beach Blvd and 1st. On September 30th at 6pm, we will end fiscal year 2025 in a very significant and memorable way as we officially celebrate the beautiful and very unique Art installation, a first in the lower 48 states, with the Wyland Art piece official introduction. We are grateful to the Joe Milton Group for their generosity, the unanimous support of our City Commission, our Arts Board and to our Senior Team of Director Eleanor Norena and Deputy Director Corine Lajoie who back in 2019 wholeheartedly embraced my decision to begin the process of bringing Art in Public Places to Dania Beach.

The motion was seconded by Commissioner Rimoli. Minutes of Regular Meeting Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, August 26, 2025 – 7:00 p.m. 14 Mayor Davis stated that this ordinance may be legally permissible but that it raises serious ethical concerns. The creation of a newly designed district that benefits a city commissioner’s family requires that he recuses himself from voting. As elected officials, they must ensure that their actions reflect the best interest of the community rather than a select few. Last year, this commission unanimously voted to reduce the building height and density across the city by 50%. A commitment that increases the height and density for limited benefit. Their responsibility is to uphold both the spirit and the letter of commitment to protect Dania Beach and the fairness, transparency and accountability in all decisions. She questioned what the Planning and Zoning vote was for this item and Mr. Mele responded 3- 1. Mayor Davis clarified that that was in favor to deny the application and the person who voted in favor of the application was appointed by the Commissioner who is unable to vote. Commissioner Rimoli commented that they are talking about 1 floor and an area surrounded by 14 buildings. They must keep an open mind about putting out quality and need to do what is best for our city and its residents. He believes it is worth the risk. Mayor Davis commented that she spoke to the Planning & Zoning Board, and they expressed public trust issues. Vice Mayor Salvino said we have come a long way since the building has been coming up. If it was on Federal Highway he would be against it, but it is on Dania Beach Blvd. and that height is already there. Commissioner Lewellen said that since we recently changed design they must anticipate that there will be some overlap with outstanding projects. She does appreciate the applicant reducing the density. The motion carried 3-1 with Commissioner Lewellen, Commissioner Rimoli and Vice Mayor Salvino voting yes, and Mayor Davis voting no. (Commissioner Ryan abstained from voting due to conflict of interest). 13. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION 13.1 Discretionary Funds Use Policy - Sponsored by Mayor Davis Mayor Davis commented that this is no longer a concern after speaking with staff. 13.2 Lanyards of Support for Dania Beach Students – Sponsored by Mayor Davis Mayor Davis explained that she previously purchased 400 lanyards for the Back-to-School Beach Cleanup that were distributed to participating students. She inquired whether the Commission would be willing to sponsor the remaining 1,400 lanyards for Dania Beach students using funds from their individual contingency accounts. The remaining balance is $2,837.62. There was Commission consensus to split the cost evenly between the four Commissioners and City Manager Garcia, with each contributing $567.52.

COMMISSION COMMENTS 15.1 Commissioner Lewellen Commissioner Lewellen spoke about the installation of the turtle sculpture by Artist Wyland and said it is an amazing piece and a big draw for the city. She wanted everyone to be aware of an ethics opinion regarding the Florida League of Cities and said their council is working on a formal opinion to be distributed. She spoke about Olsen Middle School being back on the closure list again and said she does not understand how it keeps happening considering all the money that the city has been putting into the property. She advised that the Florida League of Cities had an informative discussion panel on property taxes and said that the city needs to get ahead of this and ensure that they are notifying the public. She advised that DOGE is looking closely at city budgets and reminded everyone to be cautious with their spending; areas being targeted include climate change and resiliency efforts, so it’s important for the city to keep these concerns in mind during budget discussions. 15.2 Commissioner Rimoli Commissioner Rimoli thanked city staff for being responsive and working together during the absence of City Manager Garcia and Deputy City Manager Sosa-Cruz. He said the staff were amazing and it is a reflection of management and training. He thanked Mayor Davis and the Commission and said even though they sometimes disagree, in the end they are all one team, and they all respect one another to the utmost degree. 15.3 Commissioner Ryan Commissioner Ryan spoke about earning a community partnership award from Broward County Public Schools and mentioned how the city gave the school board ideas on how to keep the schools open. He said it is unfortunate to see the schools put back on closure list, but they are ready to step up again, work with the school board, and continue advocating for the community. He brought up an idea that he discussed with City Manager Garcia about updating the city's parking decals to better represent and promote Dana Beach. City Manager Garcia commented that she will bring back 3 designs for the Commission to vote on. 15.4 Vice-Mayor Salvino Vice Mayor Salvino had no comments. 15.5 Mayor Davis Mayor Davis welcomed everyone back and commented on how well the Commission works together, even when they don’t always agree.

For God and Country, Kevin S. Savage Commander City of Dania Beach Public Services Memorandum DATE: 9/15/2025 TO: Mayor and Commissioners FROM: Ana M. Garcia, ICMA-CM, City Manager VIA: Fernando J. Rodriguez, Public Services Director Sean Schutten, Public Services Deputy Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO CEMETERY RULES AND REGULATIONS – RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FOR DANIA MEMORIAL PARK AND WESTLAWN CEMETERIES Request: The Public Services Department (PSD) requests amending the Cemetery Rules and Regulations for Dania Memorial Park and Westlawn Cemeteries to establish a residency policy limiting use of mausoleum spaces, entombments, cemetery plots, and other cemetery services to Dania Beach residents, their immediate family members, and their direct descendants. The resolution also modifies the City’s fee resolution to remove references to non-resident fees. Background: The City of Dania Beach owns and operates two municipal cemeteries, Dania Memorial Park and Westlawn, both of which have very limited remaining capacity for burials, entombments, and related services. In order to preserve this space for the benefit of City residents and their families, staff has reviewed the existing cemetery rules and policies and determined that amendments are necessary. The proposed resolution establishes a residency restriction that limits cemetery use to Dania Beach residents, their immediate family members, and their direct descendants. For purposes of this policy, “immediate family” is defined to include a father, mother, spouse, domestic partner, children, stepchildren, siblings, half-siblings, and in-laws. A resident may purchase multiple plots or a lot (consisting of multiple plots or spaces) provided and interments within those are limited to the resident, their immediate family, and their direct descendants. Ownership of a cemetery plot or lot will pass through the family bloodline, with the surviving spouse or domestic partner of a deceased resident lot owner retaining the right of burial. Exceptions to the residency restriction are provided for former Mayors and City Commissioners. In addition, the fee resolution will be amended to remove all references to non-resident fees, since non-resident use will no longer be permitted. These changes are intended to ensure equitable access to the City’s limited cemetery resources while maintaining fairness and consistency in policy. Budgetary Impact There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this resolution other than the elimination of non- resident fee revenue, which will no longer apply under the revised policy. Recommendation PSD recommends approval of amending the Cemetery Rules and Regulations for Dania Memorial Park and Westlawn Cemeteries,and modifying the fee resolution to remove references to non-resident fees. RESOLUTION NO. 2025-_____ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, IN ITS CAPACITY AS THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE MEMORIAL PARK AND WESTLAWN CEMETERIES TO AMEND THE CEMETERY RULES AND REGULATIONS; ESTABLISHING THE POLICY THAT SOLELY DANIA BEACH RESIDENTS THEIR IMMEDITE FAMILY AND THEIR DIRECT DESCENDANTS MAY UTILIZE MAUSOLEUM SPACES AND ENTOMBMENTS, AND CEMETERY PLOTS, AND OTHER CEMETERY SERVICES; EXCEPTION; AND MODIFYING THE CITY’S FEE SCHEDULE TO CLARIFY THAT THE NONRESIDENT FEE IS ONLY FOR PLOTS PURCHASED PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 25, 2025; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the City of Dania Beach has limited remaining capacity in its two cemeteries, Memorial Park and Westlawn; and WHEREAS, due to this limited capacity, the City seeks to amend its cemetery policy by restricting the use of available entombments, burial plots, and related cemetery services at Memorial Park and Westlawn to Dania Beach residents, their immediate family members, and their direct descendants; and WHEREAS, for purposes of this policy, “immediate family” shall include a father, mother, spouse, domestic partner, children, stepchildren, siblings, half-siblings, and in-laws; and WHEREAS, a resident may purchase multiple cemetery plots or lots (encompassing several plots or spaces), and all interments within such lots are limited to the resident, their immediate family members, and their direct descendants; and WHEREAS, ownership of a cemetery plot or lot shall descend through the family bloodline, and the surviving spouse or domestic partner of a deceased resident lot owner shall retain the right of burial; and WHEREAS, exceptions to this residency requirement shall apply to any former Mayor or City Commissioner; and WHEREAS, the resolution also includes Exhibit B, which modifies the current cemetery fee schedule to reflect these policy changes as to nonresidents may not purchase plots after adoption of this resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS: RESOLUTION #2025-_____ 2 Section 1. That the foregoing findings are incorporated by reference, and they are made a part of this Resolution. Section 2. That solely City of Dania Beach residents are entitled to use the entombment, cemetery plots and other cemetery services of the Memorial Park and Westlawn cemeteries after September 25, 2025, due to the limit space remaining in the cemeteries. The City shall honor nonresident plot owner use from prior to September 25, 2025. However, there shall remain an exception to this residency requirement for any former Mayor or City Commissioner that decides to move out of Dania Beach and seeks to be interned or entombed at the City’s cemeteries. These modifications are reflected in the amended Cemetery Rules and Regulations attached and incorporated by reference into this Resolution as Exhibit A. Section 3. The City’s cemetery fee schedule is modified to reflect that nonresidents will not be able to purchase a plot or cemetery services after September 25, 2025. However, the fee schedule shall remain intact for plots purchased by nonresidents prior to September 25, 2025. This modification is reflected in the amended fee schedule attached and incorporated by reference into this Resolution as Exhibit B. Section 3. That all Resolutions or parts of Resolutions in conflict with any portion of the provisions in this Resolution are repealed to the extent of such conflict. Section 4. That this Resolution shall be effective 10 days after passage. PASSED AND ADOPTED on __________________, 2025. Motion by __________________________, second by ___________________________.
