Budget Message
City Manager Ana M. Garcia, ICMA-CM
Leadership During Challenging Times: Embracing Prioritization, Resourcefulness, and
Teamwork
July 8, 2025
Honorable Mayor, Vice Mayor, and City Commissioners of the City of Dania Beach,
In accordance with Part III, Article 3, Section 4(g) of the City of Dania Beach Charter, I am pleased to submit for your
consideration the City Manager’s Annual Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026, commencing October 1, 2025. This year’s
budget message, titled “Leadership During Challenging Times: Embracing Prioritization, Resourcefulness, and Teamwork,”
reflects our strategic commitment to delivering high-quality public services, navigating economic headwinds with focus
and collaboration, and investing in a resilient future for the City of Dania Beach. The proposed budget reflects the strategic
policy direction established by the City Commission through thoughtful discussions and collaborative engagement. It is
designed to support our shared vision of unlocking the full potential of Dania Beach. We sincerely appreciate your
continued leadership and support as we work toward building a safer, more beautiful, and thriving Dania Beach.
This year’s budget reflects the highest level of public safety staffing in our city’s history, with 101 Broward Sheriff ’s Office
(BSO) Law Enforcement Officers and 77 Firefighters. This demonstrates our unwavering dedication to ensuring the safety
and well-being of all who live, work, and visit Dania Beach.
In Fiscal Year 2025, the city updated its Strategic Plan, extending our vision through 2040 and setting clear objectives and
goals through 2030. As a team, we have achieved significant milestones and delivered numerous first-ever projects for the
City of Dania Beach. However, our work is far from over, there is more to be done, and even more on the horizon.
As we begin Fiscal Year 2026, we are excited to launch Phase 2 of the Southeast Drainage Project, which is on track to be
fully completed by the end of calendar year 2026. Additionally, we will initiate the design of a reimagined P.J. Meli Park,
along with a modernized drainage system that will significantly reduce stormwater impacts and flooding in the area.
This year, we are proud to announce the establishment of a Capital Reserve Fund, a strategic step toward long-term
financial sustainability. This reserve will be used to save for future capital projects and reduce the need for debt financing,
ensuring that our infrastructure investments are funded responsibly and proactively.
The City’s capital program remains robust, with over $26 million allocated to fund more than 65 capital improvement
projects citywide. These initiatives are critical to our continued transformation, including upgrades to parks, public facilities,
infrastructure, stormwater systems, and beautification efforts that support a safer, more sustainable, and more vibrant
community. Some of these critical CIP projects are listed below:
400 S. Federal Hwy. Historic House Restoration
Federal Hwy. Landscape Improvements
Beach Lighting Project
Beach Undergrounding
Fire Rescue Emergency Operations & Administration Facility Hardening
Griffin Marine Park Boat Ramp and Dock Replacement
High Service Pumps and Filter Replacement Project
Nautilus Drainage and Outfall
NW 1 Street FDOT LAP Project
NW 26th Terrace Outfall
Oasis Neighborhood Improvement Projects
Ocean Park-Additional Street Paving
Olsen Middle School Park Construction
Quarterdeck/Pier Structural Concrete Repairs
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 7
Redundant Force Main Connection to Hollywood
Roadway & Alleyway Repaving Program
Sanitary Sewer Collection System Improvements
Sidewalk Assessment Tier 2 Repairs
SW 34th Court Outfall
Citywide Water Distribution Improvements
Water Plant FY 2026 Capital Maintenance
The FY 2026 Proposed Budget adds key positions to support our service delivery and communications, including:
A Marketing and Communications Specialist, tasked with elevating citywide engagement, transparency, and outreach;
A Recreation Leader at C.W. Thomas Park, enhancing programming and supervision;
A Recreation Assistant at C.W. Thomas Park, supporting daily operations and community access.
These key Marketing & Communications and Parks & Recreation positions will play a vital role in enhancing community
engagement and promoting city services. They will support the continued success of Dania After Dark events, increase
awareness of rental opportunities at our community centers, improve communication with residents and businesses, and
help showcase the wide range of exceptional services provided by the City of Dania Beach.
Despite inflationary pressures and expanding service demands, the city will maintain its current operating millage rate of
5.9998 and debt millage rate of 0.0985, ensuring no increase in property tax rates. This is achieved while continuing to
deliver a high level of service and making substantial investments in infrastructure and community enrichment.
City Commission and Management Financial Policies and Priorities
The City of Dania Beach remains steadfast in its commitment to fiscal responsibility, ensuring that public funds are
managed with transparency, prudence, and long-term sustainability in mind. A cornerstone of this commitment is the
continued protection and strategic use of the City’s financial reserves, which currently amount to $24 million, along with the
Emergency Fund, which is nearly $9 million. As a coastal community situated in a hurricane and flood-prone region, it is
imperative that we maintain a strong financial foundation to respond effectively to natural disasters and other unforeseen
emergencies.
In recent years, the City has updated its policies regarding fund balance/reserves, debt management, investments, and
procurement. Regular adjustments to these policies reinforce the City's commitment to sound financial management
practices that comply with all applicable laws and regulations related to government finance. The City Administration
continually reviews these policies to ensure they remain modern and relevant.
In Fiscal Year 2026, there will be a slight increase in both the Fire Assessment and Solid Waste Assessment fees to ensure
the ongoing provision of vital public safety and sanitation services. The Fire Assessment fee will go up from $241.05 in FY
2025 to $270.76 in FY 2026, while the Solid Waste Assessment fee will rise from $390.00 to $412.32. These changes reflect
annual increases of $29.71 and $22.32, respectively. In total, the annual increase amounts to $52.03, which is about $4.34 per
month. This small monthly adjustment is essential for maintaining high service standards in the community and keeping
up with increasing operational costs.
The FY 2026 Budget remains firmly aligned with the City Commission’s priorities and the Strategic Plan. Our ongoing
commitment to fiscal responsibility, community investment, and operational excellence is reflected in every element of this
proposed budget. Through strong leadership, careful prioritization, and collaborative teamwork, Dania Beach continues to
chart a course toward a more resilient, equitable, and prosperous future.
The City Administration also recommends capital investments based on the strategic plan, master plan recommendations,
and the cyclical needs for replacing equipment and facilities. The completion of various Capital Improvement Projects (CIP)
has enhanced the world-class amenities in our City. The City's CIP continues to support investments in areas such as the
Beach, Pier, City Hall, parks and public spaces, technology, and other infrastructure. Additionally, the City Administration
routinely assesses the effectiveness of the water distribution and sanitary sewer collection systems. The City has completed
the Stormwater Master Plan, which will lead to essential investments in drainage infrastructure to protect public and private
properties and promote greater sustainability. Although much of this utility infrastructure is "out of sight" and not directly
associated with the more visually appealing components of the CIP, it is critical to the health and safety of our residents and
visitors.

General Fund Overview
The Proposed FY 2026 General Fund budget totals $98,855,997. This includes all payroll, operating expenditures, capital
projects, and interfund transfers, and represents an increase of $14.9 million (17.8%) from the current FY 2025 adopted
budget of $83,758,840.
I. Revenues
The Certified Taxable Value issued by the Property Appraiser’s Office on July 1, 2025, shows that Dania Beach's taxable
property values increased by 13.59% to $7,914,270,357 from the prior year's final total of $6,967,406,926. This Proposed Budget
reflects the continuation of the current 5.9998 operating millage rate to fund FY 2026 City operations.
The Fire Protection Services Non-Ad Valorem Assessment tentatively adopted fee for FY 2026 is $270.76 per residential unit,
an increase of $29.71. This adjusted fire assessment rate provides a net total of $8.6 million; funding will recover 100% of
assessable fire services costs. The proposed annual fire assessment fee is based on actual call data for the categories of
residential, acreage, commercial, and warehouse. The methodology used for the FY 2026 assessment is the same as used in
the prior year. The cost apportionment provides for the appropriate allocation of costs among all properties, including
commercial and warehouse properties, especially those with higher square footage. This methodology accurately reflects
the nature of Fire Protection Services provided by the City, including both call volume and property type. Re-imposition of
fire assessment rates must be adopted in order to maintain the existing revenues generated in the prior year.
Other revenue categories have been adjusted based on trends, with many increasing in accordance with the development
taking place in the City. Additionally, the State will resume distribution of tribal gaming revenue, and the City should see an
estimated $818k in FY 2026. The City's interest earnings remain stable as its portfolio has adapted to the interest rate
environment, and we have not observed a steep decrease in the Federal Funds Rate.
II. Personnel Services
The personnel services expenditures comprise all costs of the City's labor force, including all fringe benefits, and total
$18.9 million for the proposed budget. This reflects an increase of approximately $1.9 million over the current FY 2025
adopted budget. This results from several factors, including competitive pay increases, increases in health insurance and FRS
contribution rates, the addition of new positions, and an increase in contributions for the general employees and
police/firefighter legacy pension plans.
Each department reviews its operations during the budget formulation process to determine whether staffing levels are
sufficient. Based on this review and the requests from Department Directors, the City Manager has recommended the
addition of two (2) full-time and (3) part-time positions across various City departments.
Additionally, the City is adding one (1) Law Enforcement personnel through the Broward Sheriff's Office contract.
The Proposed Budget reflects an overall 17.2% increase in health insurance premiums with slight changes to the plan design
and minor effect on employee contributions. The City will continue to contribute 84% of the premium cost, and employees
will be provided with both the traditional PPO and high-deductible (HDHP) health plan options, as well as the opt-out
subsidy and Health Savings Account payment for the HDHP. Employees will have continuity with the same providers and
the same generous benefits employees currently enjoy.
Other City-paid benefits include:
Both short-term and long-term disability insurance and life insurance coverage at two (2) times salary, up to $200,000.
Flexible Spending Account and Dependent Care Spending Account to assist with out-of-pocket medical costs and
childcare.
Voluntary and ancillary insurance benefits through AFLAC.
Expansive wellness program with employee gift card incentives, access to an employee wellness portal, online
programming, and onsite biometric screenings.
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) covers all employees and their families and offers various mental health
services and resources.
City-paid credit protection with up to $1 million in recovery services.
Optional pet insurance coverage through MetLife, which includes a non-maximum plan with flexible options for
employees to choose from.
Access to City gyms and discounted summer childcare.
The majority of the actively working City employees were hired after March 1, 2006, and receive their City retirement benefits
through the Florida Retirement System (FRS). As participants in the legacy pension retire or otherwise vacate their positions,
they are hired by replacements eligible for FRS, which has a significantly lower cost burden. Effective July 1, 2025, the FRS
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 9
employer contribution rate increased to 14.03% of base pay for most employees, and the employee contribution rate remains
at 3%. Lastly, the City matches 3% of employee contributions toward the 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan.
For its retirees, the City provides a generous 2/3 (67%) subsidy for health insurance premiums. In order to account for this
future burden, the City has chosen to fund a trust for City retiree health benefits under GASB 45 (OPEB: Other Post-
Employment Benefits). The adopted funding policy established an assumed interest rate of 6.50%, and provides that the City
makes fixed annual payments (currently $200,000) and sets a date for withdrawals of October 1, 2030. Prior to the adoption
of the funding policy in 2020, the Net OPEB Liability was $14.62 million and, as of September 30, 2024, the liability has been
reduced to $1.64 million. The decrease in liability is a direct result of establishing a funding plan and making annual
contributions.
III. Operating Expenditures
Total recommended operating expenditures within the General Fund for FY 2026 are budgeted at $56.4 million, a $3.5
million increase over the FY 2025 adopted budget. The increase to the BSO public safety contracts accounts for
approximately $3.2 million, with much of the increase attributable to adding Law Enforcement and Fire personnel and other
necessary equipment to support operations.
When completing their budget requests, each department assesses their operating needs and makes adjustments to the
various accounts, including utility costs, professional services, training and professional development, and other
miscellaneous supplies and services. In addition to this comprehensive review/request, there are other budgeted cost
increases over which the City has limited or no control.
Due to significant structural issues within the liability insurance market, the City received an increase of approximately
10.52% across all coverage lines for FY 2025. This year, the increases are anticipated to be less, approximately 9.7%,
depending on the coverage. The insurance market has stabilized, and should continue, barring any catastrophic losses or
natural disasters in the State.
City funding for the Community Redevelopment Agency totals $1.55 million for the coming year. This amount includes
operating costs and support for key programs and redevelopment initiatives, as well as the City’s administrative cost
allocation. The CRA Fund budget is not a part of the City Manager’s Proposed Budget, and it will be adopted through a
separate action of the CRA Board in September.
IV. Citywide Capital Purchases/Projects Investment Plan
The Proposed Budget provides funding for capital purchases, which are generally less than $100,000 and/or not included in
the City’s broader list of capital projects (such as roadway maintenance and utility system updates), as well as funding for
capital projects that cost more than $100,000 and where the asset will last more than 7–10 years. Recommended capital
investments across all City Funds for FY 2026 total $26.4 million, allocated among the following departments/divisions:
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 10
V. Other Uses
City Commission Contingency
The City Commission Contingency is an unallocated expenditure line-item available to the City Manager (up to a certain
threshold) and the City Commission for unbudgeted and unforeseen circumstances. For FY 2026, the General Contingency
is $200k and the budget also provides for a City Commission discretionary use fund of $125,000 available for appropriation
by the elected officials. The City has adopted a formal policy governing the use of sponsorships and discretionary funds.
Transfers Out
The City makes transfers from the General Fund to the Debt Service Fund for the repayment of outstanding debt. A portion
of this is funded by debt service ad valorem taxes levied, and the remainder is funded by general revenue appropriations.
The debt service costs increased in FY2026 due to the final payment required for the General Obligation Bonds, Series 2016.
The budget also includes a transfer of $14.2 million to the Capital Projects Fund for the following investments:
Olsen Middle School Construction 3,750,000.00
Corridor Master Plan 634,000.00
FDOT LAP Project 200,000.00
Fire Rescue Emergency Operations & Administration Facility 5,500,000.00
A1A Landscape Improvements 500,000.00
400 S. Federal Hwy. Historic House 550,000.00
Capital Reserve Fund 3,076,324.00
Lastly, the City's Internal Service Funds for Facilities Maintenance, Fleet Management, and Information Technology are
funded by transfers from various City operating funds with the predominance of funding provided by the General Fund.
These transfers are calculated based on a cost allocation methodology and decreased compared to the FY 2025 Adopted
Budget due to the use of net position accumulated in the internal service funds.
Discussion of Other Funds
Building Permits and Inspection Fund
The total operating revenue for the Building Operations Fund in FY 2026 is planned at $6.12 million, an increase of .9%
compared to the current year's adopted budget. This is a general estimate based on the proposed development, and the
increase is due to the expectation of permitting revenue and the use of $1.8 million in reserves. As is always emphasized,
while building development increases, permit fees are not necessarily received in the same year due to timing differences
and the unpredictability of the commercial development market, and this fund relies on its reserves in years when staff are
conducting inspections and other activities on significant permit applications paid for in the prior year. Due to strong
development in the past few years, the Building Fund reserve balance totaled $4.3 million as of September 30, 2024.
Continued improvement in the local and state economy contributes to increased construction activity, including the
ongoing development of Dania Pointe and several other significant residential projects throughout the City. The FY 2025
budget provided funding to augment the Building Division office renovation budget, and anticipates completion Fall 2025.
The Building Department also purchased a new ERP software in FY2025. This new system will support operations and
enhance customer and community interactions through an innovative and modern technology platform.
Utility Funds
Water Fund
The total Water Fund proposed budget for FY 2026 is $8.75 million, approximately 16.2% lower than the current year's
adopted budget. In recent years, the City conducted a water and sewer rate study, which resulted in a small increase in
water rates offset by a decrease in sewer rates, with a net overall decrease for the next few years. This rate adjustment
ensures that the Water Utility remains solvent and has resources available for future maintenance and capital
requirements. For FY 2025, there were several water plant capital projects funded by a Federal appropriation of $1.5
million, to include replacement of high service pumps and one (1) nanofiltration membrane. There are additional
capital items consisting of maintenance of various aspects of the water plant, funding to replace water lines as
needed, and the purchase of a replacement vehicle. There is a slight decrease in debt payments due to the repayment
of debt. The City has been judicious in its use of debt to finance future capital projects and will seek available grant
opportunities. Otherwise, it will fund ongoing repairs and maintenance on a cash basis.
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 11
Sewer Fund
The Proposed Budget for the Sewer Fund for Fiscal Year 2026 is set at $8.73 million, reflecting a reduction of
approximately 52.6% compared to the adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This decrease is primarily attributable to
the significant projects funded by multiple grants in FY2025, which are currently in progress. The proposed budget
facilitates ongoing investment in the sewer collection infrastructure and addresses necessary maintenance
requirements. All effluent is directed to the City of Hollywood for treatment, and associated costs have risen due to the
city's growth and challenges related to infiltration and inflow (I&I). To mitigate these issues, the City has initiated a
comprehensive I&I repair project aimed at minimizing the volume of rainwater and groundwater entering the sewer
lines, thereby reducing treatment costs over time. Furthermore, the City is actively engaged in the Hazardous
Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) project, which involves the rehabilitation of three lift stations and the installation of
generators for disaster resilience. The previous year's budget allocated $5 million for the rehabilitation of three
additional lift stations, with funding for two provided at a level of 50% through grants, while the third is being financed
through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). In addition, a significant capital investment is planned for the design
and construction of a redundant force main connection to the City of Hollywood, which is estimated to cost $1.3
million, with an initial allocation of $100,000 in Fiscal Year 2026. The Fiscal Year 2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
request also includes provisions for the purchase of a truck to enhance operational capabilities, along with $250k
designated for the Sanitary Sewer Systems Improvement project.
Stormwater Fund
The proposed budget for the Stormwater Fund for Fiscal Year 2026 is set at $11.25 million, reflecting a significant
decrease of approximately 59.3% compared to the adopted budget for the current fiscal year. This decrease is primarily
attributable to the inclusion of bond proceeds from the prior fiscal year. In the fall of 2024, the City successfully issued a
$30 million revenue bond to facilitate the completion of the Southeast Drainage Phases I and II, alongside other
essential projects throughout the City. Given the existing challenges within the current drainage system, there are
numerous ongoing and planned capital projects, demonstrating the City’s firm commitment to improving resiliency in
this critical infrastructure area. Notably, construction on the Southeast Drainage Phase I project has commenced,
funded through a strategic combination of penny surtax revenues, grant funding, and bond proceeds. The additional
funding derived from the bond proceeds has also enabled the initiation of the Southeast Drainage Phase II and
various other vital projects citywide. The proposed budget includes an allocation of approximately $6.6 million
dedicated to investments in additional drainage initiatives and capital outlay.
For Fiscal Year 2026, the recommended annual Stormwater assessment fee will remain at $120 per Equivalent
Residential Unit (ERU). This fee is projected to provide sufficient funding to cover debt service for the revenue bond, as
well as support necessary capital investments. The proposed net assessment levy in this budget amounts to $5.7
million, with annual debt service costs estimated at $1.8 million. This represents an increase of $1.1 million compared to
the current year, reflecting the requirements associated with the revenue bond for FY 2026.
Ocean Park Enterprise Fund
The total proposed budget for the Ocean Park Enterprise, consisting of the Marina, Parking, and Pier, is $10.92 million, an
increase of 74.1% from the current year's adopted budget. The unrestricted net position as of September 30, 2024, was $8.1
million, and the budgeted use of reserves in FY 2026 is approximately $4.5 million.
Marina
The City operates a full-service Marina located directly west of the Beach, providing access to the Intracoastal
Waterway. The Marina is managed by Oasis Marinas, which handles day-to-day operations and ensures security on the
premises. Revenue from boat slip rentals has remained steady, and demand continues to be high. The proposed
budget for FY 2026 includes an increase in the Marina's fee schedule, as recommended by Oasis Marinas. This
adjustment aims to better position the facility in the market and provide sufficient resources for both operational and
capital investment needs. Total budgeted Marina revenues for FY 2026 are projected to reach $1.7 million, a slight
increase compared to the current year's adopted budget and fee schedule. The partnership with Oasis Marinas is
expected to continue to benefit customers and the boating community well into the future, while also enhancing the
Marina as a key economic engine for the City.
Parking
The Community Development Department oversees the City-wide parking operation. With the increase in beach
patrons over the years, the City has added enforcement staff, ensuring parking revenue is maximized. The success of
the beach restaurant operation, the expansion of parking compliance into the evening hours, and the development of
the beach parking app, which allows patrons to pay via their mobile phones, have all contributed to self-sustaining
operations. Total budgeted revenues of $2.8 million provide for operations and enforcement activities, as well as paving
the Beach parking lot and investments in the City Hall Garage.
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 12
The City has entered into a lease agreement with LM Restaurants for the operation of the Lucky Fish Restaurant, a
casual dining venue situated by the seaside. This establishment has been constructed within the footprint of the
former Dania Beach Grill, which has been demolished. Lucky Fish includes a main building, a connected outdoor tiki
bar, and a covered band stage, along with an event lawn to the north. The restaurant officially opened in the spring of
2025. Under the terms of the lease, the agreement stipulates fixed annual rent payments as well as a revenue-sharing
component. The City anticipates rent payments in accordance with the agreement, with a minimum receivable
amount of $325k anticipated for fiscal year 2026.
City Pier
The Dania Beach Pier, a well-regarded local landmark, spans approximately 930 feet, with a significant portion of its
structure extending over the ocean. The projected revenue from the pier's restaurant and spectator activities is
estimated at $888k, which will be allocated to support ongoing operational requirements and necessary capital
investments. Originally constructed in 1997, the pier underwent a comprehensive renovation two years ago, involving a
$2 million investment aimed at enhancing various structural components. This included improvements to the surface
decking, wood planks, side railings, lighting, and essential structural and concrete repairs to the undercarriage.
Furthermore, the Fiscal Year 2026 budget has been designed to provide funding for additional maintenance needs,
including the replacement of the restaurant elevator.
Ocean Park Master Plan
In recent years, the City has invested significantly in various projects at the Ocean Park campus, which encompasses
the Beach, Pier, Marina, and parking facilities. These investments have included the reconstruction of parks funded by
grants, improvements to drainage systems, the underground installation of utilities, the replacement of lifeguard
towers, a comprehensive refurbishment of the pier, and the replacement of all parking meters. Additionally, ongoing
maintenance and upkeep of the Quarterdeck restaurant have been prioritized. The addition of the Lucky Fish
restaurant has further enhanced the dining options available to visitors of Ocean Park. As we look forward to FY 2026,
further investments are planned for the pier and the paving of the parking area. Furthermore, the City has allocated
$1.4 million in the FY2026 Capital Improvement Plan specifically for concrete repairs at the Quarterdeck restaurant.
Solid Waste Fund
The City's Solid Waste Fund accounts for all resources received for and expended on the Residential Solid Waste Collection
function. The City levies a solid waste non-ad valorem assessment and over time, the Solid Waste Special Revenue Fund will
accumulate a reserve that can be used for various activities, including extra collection, replacement of trash receptacles, and
stabilization of the assessment rate. The solid waste collection function is handled through a contract with Waste
Management and supported by Public Services Streets Division staff and supervisors. On October 1, 2025, the City will see an
increase in Waste Management collection and disposal charges. However, for FY 2026, a portion of the Solid Waste Fund
reserve will be utilized to "buy down" the residential assessment rates and as a result, property owners will only see a slight
increase of $22.32 in their annual assessment from $390 to $412.32 per residential unit.
Internal Service Funds
The City has three Internal Service Funds (ISFs) responsible for Facilities Maintenance, Fleet Management, and Information
Technology. These funds account for all costs required to properly operate those units and apportion costs among the other
City funds. The goal is to have well-funded support units that maximize available resources while creating a reserve for
future needs and resiliency.
Facilities Maintenance
The Facilities Maintenance ISF has total revenues of $1.59 million, a increase of 7% from the current year's adopted
budget. It receives funding from nearly all other City operating units via interfund transfers. Costs are allocated based
on two main factors: the square footage of each facility and the number of full-time equivalent employees employed
there. The costs are further broken down by the individual fund allocations of each employee, which determine the
final cost allocation. Additional costs for exceptional items and capital expenditures are directly charged to other
operating funds. Paying funds also contribute toward depreciation for the renewal of facilities. The FY 2026 Proposed
Budget includes funding for the maintenance of all City facilities and associated staffing and supplies costs.
Fleet Management
The City's Fleet Management ISF has total revenues of $1.28 million, which reflects a 25.5% increase from this year's
adopted budget. This increase is attributed to the addition of vehicle replacements. The division is responsible for
maintaining all City vehicles and heavy equipment. It receives funding from almost all other City operating units
through interfund transfers. Costs are allocated based on the functional assignment and the department to which
each vehicle and piece of equipment belongs. Additional expenses for exceptional items and capital expenditures are
charged directly to other operating funds. Furthermore, paying funds also contribute to the depreciation associated
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 13
with the repair and replacement of assets. The FY 2026 Proposed Budget includes funding for the maintenance of all
fleet assets, as well as the purchase of new and replacement vehicles and equipment, amounting to a total of $637k.
This allocation aligns with the fleet replacement schedule and the operating needs of the City.
Information Technology
The City's Information Technology ISF has total revenues amounting to $3.08 million, which represents an 8.3%
decrease compared to the current year's adopted budget. This division is tasked with overseeing all aspects of
computer systems, software, networking equipment, wireless infrastructure, internet services, telephone services, and
general technology needs. Funding for this division is primarily sourced from nearly all City operating units through
interfund transfers. Cost allocations are determined based on the number of devices supported at each facility and the
total number of full-time equivalent employees present. In a manner similar to the Facilities ISF, these costs are further
segmented according to the individual fund allocations of each employee, thereby establishing the final cost
distribution. Any additional expenses related to exceptional items and capital expenditures are charged directly to
other operating funds. Furthermore, the contributing funds facilitate the replacement of aging or obsolete technology
and bolster the City's cyber defenses to protect critical infrastructure. The Proposed Budget encompasses funding for
the City’s comprehensive technology, telecommunications, and networking needs. The City remains committed to
ongoing investments in modernization initiatives, which include enhancements to public Wi-Fi, the implementation
of smart city technology, and the renewal of the security camera platform and access control system.
The City Administration recommends adopting the existing operating ad valorem millage rate at 5.9998 mills to fund the
investment in Fiscal Year 2026 operations. The City has seen increases in taxable property values every year since 2014, which
bodes well for future financial stability, enhancing the level of services across all departments and assisting with balancing
annual service costs with available resources. The voter-approved debt service millage rate will remain at 0.0985 mills.
Our City Team will continue to explore new and diverse revenue streams to ensure the long-term viability of our city and the
excellent services we provide to our citizens, businesses, and visitors. We have been very successful in acquiring grants and
developing partnerships that have resulted in both in-kind and monetary benefits for our city. This Proposed Budget reflects
the use of reserves for several important projects and initiatives. At the end of FY 2024, the City’s General Fund audited
unassigned fund balance was approximately $24 million. Based on actual activity for FY 2025 year-to-date, the unassigned
fund balance is projected to increase by about $702k.
The Proposed Budget may be modified pursuant to the City Commission’s review and discussions over the coming weeks.
Staff will account for approved changes to revenues and expenditures at future workshops and public hearings. The
tentative millage and assessment rates have been approved; however, if desired, these rates can be lowered at the
September public hearings, although not recommended. We believe that the millage and assessment rates put forth in this
Proposed Budget provides the funding necessary to invest properly in all areas of the Community in accordance with the
standard of excellence we have set for Dania Beach.
The City Attorney and the CRA are not under the City Manager’s authority; therefore, I have made no recommendations
concerning their budgets. City Commission direction is necessary in order to consider the Manager’s Proposed Budget
document, set the proposed millage rates and non-ad valorem assessment rates, and properly notify property owners of the
City’s first September Public Hearing through the TRIM notice. The proposed millage rates were set by the City Commission
on July 8 , 2025, and have been delivered to the County well in advance of the deadline.
I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to our City Commission for their steadfast and extraordinary support of the City
Team. Their commitment makes it possible for us to recruit, retain, promote, and empower the very best talent in public
service. I also wish to thank our Deputy City Manager, Chief Financial Officer, Police and Fire Chiefs, department directors,
and the entire Dania Beach team for their unwavering dedication to delivering excellence every single day. Our combined
efforts ensure that residents, visitors, and businesses in Broward County’s 1st City, the great City of Dania Beach, receive
exceptional service year-round.
Respectfully submitted,
Ana M. Garcia, ICMA-CM

Strategic Plan
The City’s strategic planning and visioning process began in fiscal year 2020-2021 with the purpose of charting
a clear and financially sound path for the City’s future. The strategic planning sessions included a discovery
phase in which the city's consultant, Lyle Sumek Associates, Inc., gathered information on existing city
initiatives and learned about community priorities. This effort was followed by a planning session with the City

History of Dania Beach
Dania Beach: A Journey Through Time
Dania Beach holds the distinction of being Broward County's First City, with a rich history that spans back to the 1880s. It all
began when the FEC railroad line was laid through the area, recognizing the transportation advantage it offered. A visionary
pioneer and developer named W. C. Valentine saw the potential and planned a settlement called Modello. In 1898-1899, 12
Danish families from Chicago embarked on a journey to settle in this promising land.
Building upon the initial Danish settlement, Dania Beach experienced further growth in 1902 when 30 Danes were recruited
from Oconto, Wisconsin. The settlement flourished, and the first home was constructed by A.C. Frost, a remarkable individual
who left an indelible mark on the city's early development. His contributions included building the first general store in 1902
and becoming Modello's first postmaster. Additionally, Frost generously constructed and donated the town's first two schools,
showcasing his dedication to education and community welfare. In 1903, Dania Methodist Church was erected, serving as the
city's inaugural place of worship.
The year 1904 brought a significant milestone as the town was officially incorporated, with its 35 residents, predominantly
Danes, deciding to change the name to Dania. By 1912, Dania had grown into a thriving community of nearly 1,200 people,
capturing the spirit of progress and optimism that characterized the era. However, the 1920s proved to be a challenging time
for the city. In 1925, tragedy struck when the Dania Hotel caught fire, and the Bank of Dania succumbed to the actions of
embezzlers operating from the bank's Atlanta home office. To further compound the difficulties, the hurricane of 1926
unleashed its devastating 200 mile-per-hour winds, destroying the first church building and causing extensive damage
throughout the town. In the aftermath, residents voted for annexation to the neighboring City of Hollywood. De-annexation
came in 1927.
Dania Beach: The Tomato Capital of the World
Dania Beach, once known as "The Tomato Capital of the World," witnessed the flourishing success of tomato farming. As early
as 1910, the Florida East Coast Railway facilitated the shipment of tomatoes to northern cities in the United States, showcasing
the agricultural prowess of the region. During the three-month winter harvest, more than 200 farmers sent 1,000 to 1,500 train
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 21
carloads of tomatoes to eager consumers. Additionally, the establishment of a tomato paste factory by V. Taoring of New
Orleans contributed to the local prosperity and solidified Dania Beach's reputation as a center of agricultural excellence.
To commemorate the thriving tomato industry, the first "Tomato Day Celebration" was held in 1927. The event aimed to raise
funds for the construction of the new Dania Methodist Church. With an astonishing turnout of over 5,000 people, the
celebration proved to be a resounding success. The tradition continued into the 1940s, featuring lively and officially sanctioned
tomato fights and a Miss Tomato Festival Pageant. Unfortunately, the tomato boom began to wane in the late 1940s due to the
intrusion of saltwater into the fields, resulting in failing crops and an end to this era of agricultural prominence.
The Antique Capital of the South
Just as the tomato industry faced challenges, a new chapter in Dania Beach's history was about to unfold. In 1945, Genevieve
and Willard Ely established an antique shop, heralding the arrival of a different type of commerce in the city. It took a decade
for other antique businesses to follow suit, but before long, Dania Beach regained its fame, this time as the Antique Capital of
the South. Today, over 100 antique shops and malls line the few short blocks of Federal Highway, US1, in Downtown Dania
Beach, forming a vibrant Antique Row.
Antique Row has become not only a browser’s and shopper’s paradise but also the stores themselves are housed inside
buildings steeped in the City’s history including Broward County’s first movie theater.
The City has a wealth of historic architecture and a variety of architectural styles including Greek Revival (Dania Bank Building
1923); Mission Revival (Model Land Company Building 1900); Mediterranean Revival (the Martin Frost House 1913); and the Dania
Beach Hotel, built by Francis Abreau in 1925. Art Deco styles are also present in the Florida Theater (1939) and the Pirates Inn,
formerly the Hotel Katherine (1940).
Dania Beach: A Vibrant Renaissance
In recent years, Dania Beach has experienced an exciting renaissance, transforming from its humble origins into a dynamic
hub of commerce, entertainment, and leisure. This modernization is exemplified by the introduction of prominent new
structures like the Casino at Dania Beach and the Dania Pointe Shopping Center, which have become focal points of the city,
drawing visitors from far and wide. These modern entities have breathed new life into the community, shaping a fresh vision for
Dania Beach that goes beyond its small-town roots.
Dania Beach has not neglected its unique Blue Wave shoreline. The renovation and renourishment of the beach oceanfront
has breathed new life into its shores. Notable establishments like The Quarterdeck and Lucky Fish contribute to the city's
transformation, infusing the beach area and Dania Beach Marina with a vibrant dining and social scene. The city's commitment
to enhancing its public spaces is evident through the ongoing parks and beach master plan. This initiative is reshaping the
landscape, creating inviting green spaces, and improving recreational facilities for residents and visitors to enjoy.
Dania Beach: Embracing the Future
As Dania Beach looks to the future, it does so with a keen understanding of its past. The city's journey, from its Danish roots to
its agricultural prominence and subsequent renaissance as the Antique Capital of the South, is a testament to its resilience and
adaptability. Dania Beach continues to evolve, honoring its history while embracing new opportunities, ensuring that its legacy
remains woven into the fabric of this vibrant community.

Fund Structure
Each year, the City Commission adopts a budget for its primary operating funds. These funds are essential for
the overall financial health and functionality of the City. Among them, the General Fund stands out as the most
significant, serving as the cornerstone of the City's financial operations and embodying a substantial portion of
the City's resources allocated for various public services and community needs.
General Fund
The General Fund is a governmental fund that
accounts for all inflows and outflows of resources not
already accounted for in another fund. It includes all
the City’s main operating units, as shown to the left.
The General Fund is considered a Major Fund, since it
comprises more than 10% of the entire City adopted
budget. It is the only Major Fund of the City's
operating budget.
The largest operating unit, as measured by total
expenditures and staffing, is Public Safety. This unit
is comprised of Law Enforcement and Fire Rescue
Services, both of which are provided by Broward
Sheriff's Office, and City Code Enforcement. General
Government encompasses the City's primary
administrative functions. Community Development
includes the Planning and Zoning function, which is
the starting point for all new construction and
property improvements within City limits, as well as
Beach Rangers and parking enforcement. Physical
Environment provides for the maintenance and
oversight of all City facilities, vehicles, Parks and other
properties, and all City public streets and roadways.
Lastly, Parks and Recreation administers all
recreation and athletic programs, operates the
various City park facilities and beach, provides
Summer Camp programs for youth, and plans and
coordinates all Special Events.
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 24
Special Revenue Funds
The City has two appropriated Special Revenue Funds for Building Permit Operations and Solid Waste
Collection.
Building Permit Operations Fund
This fund was established for FY 2009, funded primarily through the collection of permit fees assessed on every
building permit issued for construction within the City's boundaries. In accordance with Florida State Statutes
Section 553.80 7(a), any unexpended balances in the Building Permit Operations Fund shall be carried forward
to future years for allowable activities or shall be refunded at the discretion of the local government.
Solid Waste Fund
This fund was established through the FY 2021 budget process to provide for transparency and accountability
for all costs associated with the City's solid waste collection function. This function is funded primarily through
a residential solid waste collection special assessment, paid by property owners on their annual property tax
notice. Over time, the fund will accumulate a reserve balance, which may be used toward future solid waste
collection activities.
Debt Service Fund
The City's Debt Service Fund was created to account
for the accumulation and expenditure of resources
associated with the defeasance of General Obligation
(GO) bonds issued by the City. The City levies a voted
debt service millage on all City property equal to the
amount needed for GO bond annual debt service.
S&P Global Ratings has assigned an 'AA+' rating to
the City's $31.6 million Series 2024C Refunding and
Improvement Revenue Bond. This debt is recorded in
the Stormwater Enterprise Fund and is secured by
legally available non-ad valorem revenues. The rating
reflects Dania Beach's strong long-term growth in
market values, despite relatively stable population
levels over recent decades. It also considers the City's
sound financial operations, low-to-moderate fixed
costs, and a comprehensive set of formalized
financial policies and practices. A limiting factor to
the City's credit profile is its below-average income
levels compared to similarly related peers.
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 25
Enterprise Funds
The City has several budgeted Enterprise Funds, which account for both utilities and others related to
economic and recreation activity. Enterprise funds are used for activities where a fee is charged to external
users for goods or services. Enterprise Funds are also categorized as Business-Type Activities, since they are
essentially treated as business units of the City, and accounted for similarly to a private entity.
Utility Funds
The City's Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds were established to account for all activities associated with the
provision of clean water and transmission of sewage. Raw water wells supply the City's nanofiltration
membrane plant, where the water is purified to meet EPA standards, and pumped to residences and
businesses. Sewage is collected through force mains and pumped out of the City by lift stations to be treated.
These interrelated activities are billed to customers monthly on a combined statement.
The Stormwater Fund was established to provide for operations and maintenance of the City's surface water
drainage system. The City levies a non-ad valorem special assessment, paid by property owners on their annual
property tax notice. In addition to the assessment revenue, the City applies for and receives grants to expand
and improve the stormwater infrastructure and when advantageous, borrows money for capital projects.
Non-Utility Funds
The City's Ocean Park Enterprise Fund accounts for all activities at the beach area, which is referred to as the
Ocean Park Campus. There are numerous amenities, including:
A thriving beach area with several hundred paid parking spaces.
The City Pier, which is a popular destination for fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts. The City charges an
entry fee and also operates a bait shop near the entrance.
The City Marina is adjacent to the beach area, with 92 boat slips providing vessel owners with water and
electric services.
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 26
Internal Service Funds
The City has three Internal Service Funds (ISFs): Facilities Maintenance, Fleet Services, and Information
Technology. These funds account for all costs required to properly operate those units and apportion costs
among the other City operating funds. The goal is to have well-funded support units that maximize available
resources, while creating a fund for future needs and resiliency.
Facilities Maintenance
The Facilities Maintenance ISF allocates its costs based on two main factors: the square footage of each facility
and the number of full-time equivalent employees employed there. The costs are further broken down by the
individual fund allocations of each employee and this determines the final cost allocation. Additional costs for
exceptional items and capital expenditures are directly charged to the appropriate funds. Paying funds also
contribute toward depreciation for the renewal of facilities.
Fleet Management
The City's Fleet Management division is responsible for the maintenance of all City vehicles and heavy
equipment. The Fleet Management ISF allocates its costs based on the functional assignment and department
to which each vehicle and equipment belongs. Additional costs for exceptional items and capital expenditures
are directly charged to the appropriate funds. Paying funds also contribute toward depreciation for repair and
replacement of assets.
Information Technology
The City's Information Technology (IT) division is responsible for all computers, software, networking
equipment, wireless infrastructure, internet services, telephone services, and general computing and
technology needs. The Information Technology ISF allocates its costs based on the number of supported
devices at each facility and the number of full-time equivalent employees employed there. Similar to the
Facilities ISF, the costs are further broken down by the individual fund allocations of each employee and this
determines the final cost allocation. Additional costs for exceptional items and capital expenditures are directly
charged to the appropriate funds. Paying funds also contribute toward depreciation for the replacement of
aging or obsolete technology, and to ensure the City's cyber defenses are protecting the City's information
infrastructure.
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 27
Budget Process
In general, the City of Dania Beach Code of Ordinances outlines the process for adopting the annual budget.
The City Manager submits to the Commission a proposed operating budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The
operating budget includes appropriations and the means of financing them with an explanation regarding
each expenditure that is not of a routine nature. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer
comments. Prior to October 1 , the annual budget is legally adopted through passage of a resolution.
All appropriations lapse at the end of the year and encumbrances related to capital are generally re-
appropriated into the following year’s budget. The City Manager is authorized via resolution to transfer part
of all of an encumbered appropriation balance within departments within a fund; however, any revisions
that alter the total appropriations of any department or fund must be approved by City Commission. The
classification detail at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations is at the departmental
level.
The budget may be amended as needed; individual amendments up to $50,000 can be approved by the City
Manager, while those exceeding $50,000 must be approved by the City Commission via resolution.
Basis of Budgeting
The basis of budgeting refers to the period when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the funds
and reporting on the financial statements. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Governmental and Fiduciary Funds utilize the modified accrual basis of account under which revenues and
related assets are record when measurable and available to finance operations during the current fiscal year.
Proprietary Funds (Enterprise and Internal Service Funds) use the accrual basis of accounting which
recognizes revenue when earned and expenses when incurred.
Basis of Accounting
The basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the account period in
which they become available to finance expenditures of the fiscal period.
The budget of governmental funds are prepared on a modified accrual basis of accounting except that
encumbrances are treated as the equivalent of expenditures, as opposed to a reservation of fund balance.
Proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are accounted for on the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of accounting recognizes
revenues as soon as they are earned and expenses are recognized as soon as a liability is incurred, regardless
of the timing of related cash inflows and outflows.
The differences between GAAP and the budgetary basis include the following:
Budgeting the full amount of capital expenditures as expense rather than depreciating it.
Encumbered amounts are commonly treated as expenditures under the assumptions of the budgetary
basis of accounting while encumbrances are never classified as expenditures for the Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

Significant Financial Policies
The City has formally adopted several financial policies, which govern the process and procedures by which the budget is
administered, funds are invested, and other important fiscal matters.
Budgets in General
The City of Dania Beach Code of Ordinances specifies the manner by which the City adopts its annual budget. It is stated that
the City Commission shall determine and fix the amount necessary to carry on the government of the City for the ensuing year,
and shall by resolution adopt a budget setting forth the amount necessary to be raised for the various departments within the
City. The budget shall appropriate such amounts to the various departments and shall determine the amount of applicable
funds on hand, the estimated departmental revenues, and the amount of millage necessary to be levied.
The goal of the process is to develop a budget that is balanced - specifically, the anticipated revenues for the coming year meet
or exceed the expenditures that have been included for consideration. The City has developed healthy reserve balances in its
various major funds which provide budget stabilization in the years that revenues are below expectation due to both internal
and external factors.
The budget may be amended from time to time, as necessary. In general, individual amendments to the budget up to
$50,000.00 may be approved by the City Manager. Amendments exceeding $50,000.00 must be approved by resolution of the
City Commission.
The City has begun to incorporate performance measures as a way to measure the effectiveness of its operations. Not all
departments have developed performance measures yet, and these indicators have been included in the Department pages,
where applicable.
Procurement
The City shall make expenditures to promote the best interests of the Citizens of the City of Dania Beach (City). The City shall
encourage free and unrestricted competition on all purchases, ensuring the taxpayers the best possible return on and use of
their tax dollars. The purpose of the City's Procurement Policy is to inform and instruct each Department, Division, and staff
member involved in the purchasing process for the City. The various methods of procurement, duties and responsibilities
involved in the purchase of supplies, materials, equipment and certain contractual services, are addressed by the policy.
Purchasing Authority
The City Commission has full authority to incur obligations or expend funds in amounts over $50,000.00 whenever it deems it
necessary in the City’s public interest. If any City purchase increases the total over $50,000.00 per vendor in a single fiscal year,
the contract must be presented to Commission for approval prior to the order being placed.
The City Manager has full authority to incur obligations or expend funds in an amount up to and including $50,000.00
whenever deemed necessary in the City’s public interest.
The Chief Financial Officer, by virtue of being the City Manager’s designated representative, is responsible for determining if
an item is budgeted, if adequate funds are available and if proper purchasing procedures were followed.
The Finance Department is the central point for all purchases in the City. The Procurement Administrator is authorized by the
Chief Financial Officer to verify and approve the appropriateness, completeness, and funding availability of all purchase
requests, regardless of amount. The Procurement Administrator is responsible for issuing, adjusting, monitoring, and closing of
all City purchase orders.
The Department Head is responsible for all department-sanctioned purchases and shall be accountable and responsible for all
expenditures of his or her department.
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 30
Investment Policy
The City's investment policy applies to all investment activity and cash balances of the City, except for pension funds. The primary
objectives are as follows:
1. Safety: to mitigate interest rate risk and credit risk-safe securities, pre-qualifying financial institutions, diversity of investments
2. Liquidity: needs to meet all operating needs of the City, securities with active secondary markets
3. Yield: low risk securities anticipating a fair return relative to the risk
Standard of Care
The City shall apply the prudent person rule which states “investments shall be made with judgment and care (by the Chief Financial
Officer) under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of
their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable
income derived”.
All officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with the
investment program and must disclose all financial interests in financial institutions.
The Finance Director and Deputy Finance Director are authorized as investment signatories. All investment transactions must be
approved by the City Manager.
Safekeeping and Custody
Authorized financial dealers and institutions include:
Banks - Certificates of deposit may be purchased through Qualified Public Depositories (QPDs) in accordance with Ch 20 of the
Florida Statutes.
Broker/Dealers - the City may utilize both primary and non-primary securities dealers for purchases and sales of securities.
Firms must certify in writing that they have reviewed the City's investment policy and agree to undertake necessary and
appropriate efforts to preclude imprudent transactions involving City funds.
Internal controls - Finance will maintain a set of internal controls, documented in writing and reviewed by the City's external auditors.
The internal controls aim to control collusion between employees working to defraud the City, and separate the transaction authority
from accounting and record keeping. In addition, controls specify the manner of safekeeping and recordkeeping.
Delivery vs. Payment - all transactions, where applicable, will be executed by delivery vs. payment (DVP), ensuring that
securities are deposited in the eligible financial institution prior to the release of funds.
Authorized and Suitable Investments
The policy established the authorized investments and limits on security issues, issuers, and maturities. Authorized investments
include the Florida Local Government Surplus Trust Fund, the Florida Municipal Investment Trust, interest-bearing checking or
savings accounts, US Government obligations, time deposits and savings accounts in bank and savings loan institutions, and
other investment vehicles authorized by Florida Statutes.
Certificates of deposit and overnight repurchase agreements must be collateralized at 100%-102%.
Where City bond covenants contain provisions relative to the investment of funds, the investment of such funds must comply
with the provision of the applicable bond ordinance.
Other Provisions
The policy provides for the following other provisions:
Diversification of assets, maximum maturities, and the process by which securities may be selected
Preparation of quarterly investment reports
Continuing education - 8 hours of investment-related continuing professional education is required for the Chief Financial
Officer or designee, per Florida Statutes

Debt Policy
The City of Dania Beach's Debt Management Policy is intended for the following purposes:
Establish parameters for issuing and managing debt,
Provide guidelines to decision makers related to debt affordability standards
Ensure that future generations of elected officials have reasonable latitude to address the issues/problems of their tenure.
Debt can be categorized into one of the following:
Self Supporting Debt - includes proprietary operations and includes State Revolving Funds, Revenue Bonds and Capital
Leases.
Non Self-Supporting Debt - includes general government operations and can include Revenue bonds, Capital Leases and
General Obligation Bonds
This distinction recognizes that self-supporting proprietary programs do not directly or indirectly place a burden on taxpayers
in the form of increased taxes. As long as each system's user rates meet the needs of both operations and debt service, the
debt program is not considered part of either the General Government or Tax-Supported Debt of the City.
Conditions of Debt Issuance:
The City shall not issue debt to subsidize or finance current operations
Debt issuance is permissible for capital assets with a life exceeding three years
All debt issued by the City shall be approved (minimally) by resolution of the City Commission of the City of Dania Beach,
at a duly noticed public meeting.
Debt Limit
The City's debt limit is established through the debt management policy. Currently, the policy does not provide for a limitation
on debt of any type. The City shall periodically review certain financial ratios to ensure compliance with debt covenants and/or
to maintain or improve credit ratings.
Reserve Policy
The City follows the provisions under Governmental Standards Accounting Board Statement 54. GASB 54 requires that
governmental funds present balances based on hierarchical classifications. These classifications are based on the extent to
which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the respective governmental funds
can be spent.
Fund balances classified as non-spendable are funds that cannot be spent because they are either nonspendable in form or
legally contracted to be converted to cash such as inventories or prepaid expenditures. Restricted balances are those with
constraints placed on the use of resources by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments.
Committed fund balances can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by the City Commission
through an ordinance or a resolution. Assigned fund balances are constrained by intent to be used for specific purposes but
are neither restricted nor committed. Assignments are made by City management based on City Commission direction.
Unassigned fund balance can be viewed as the total accumulated net resources available at the end of the fiscal year.
The City Commission has adopted the following for the General Fund:
Nonspendable: inventory reserves and property held for sale to indicate inventories/properties that are not in spendable
form
Restricted: includes impact fees and building code costs and grants which are restricted by law, or externally imposed in
the case of the Grantors
Committed: fund balances of the Capital Projects Fund, Perpetual Care Fund, Tree Preservation Fund, and the
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)
Assigned: disaster recovery funds
The City’s adopted policy is to maintain an adequate General Fund unassigned balance of at least three months (25%) of annual
budgeted operating expenditures, which is in line with the highest recommendation from the Government Finance Officers
Association.

Other Policies
Accounting and Financial Reporting Policies
The City will have an independent audit annually and will produce a comprehensive annual financial report in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as required under the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
within 180 days of the end of the fiscal year.
The City maintains an accounting and financial reporting system that conforms to GAAP and State Laws.
Revenue Policy
The City will attempt to maintain a diversified and stable array of revenues to avoid reliance on any one revenue source and will
attempt to minimize the dependence on property taxes. Charges for services recover the partial or full cost of providing
services that benefit specific users. Additionally, it is the City’s intent that new cyclical operating costs are funded with
permanent revenues, although certain infrastructure and neighborhood improvements may cause future maintenance costs
to increase. To ensure fund balance integrity, one-time operating costs should be tied to one-time revenue sources whenever
practical.
Capital Improvement Policies
The City maintains a 5-year capital improvement plan that is updated annually. The plan is included in the budget for
consideration by the City Commission. The CIP is not set in stone; rather, it is intended to be a framework to ensure that
outstanding issues are being addressed in a timely manner, and that new investment opportunities are considered and
scheduled accordingly.
Sustainability Policies
The following policies were adopted by City Commission by Resolution 2009-026 in February 2009, which established the
Green Advisory Board:
Goal to reduce per capita energy consumption in the City
Conserve and protect natural resources
Promote environmental awareness within the City
Develop ways to attract Federal and State Grants directly available to environmental support
Coordinate informational programs
Charging stations placed in the City parking garage for electric vehicles

City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 45
Discussion of Citywide Revenues
Like all municipal entities, the City of Dania Beach receives resources through various revenue-generating mechanisms. The
most common is property tax, known as Ad Valorem Tax, levied on all properties within the City based on the value of property
multiplied by a millage rate that is formally adopted each year by the City Commission. There are several broad revenue
categories, which are broken down further and are grouped according to their functional role in the government, and in
accordance with both Federal and State accounting guidelines.
Taxes
The largest category of taxes is Ad Valorem, which is also the largest single citywide revenue. Although the City has not
changed the millage rate for a number of years, the revenue has continued to increase due to rising property values in the
South Florida real estate market. In addition, there are two components of Ad Valorem - operating and debt. The operating
millage is levied for all general operating purposes, but the debt millage is only levied for the repayment of voted debt. For FY
2026, there is no change to the operating and debt millage rates. The City also collects Local Option Taxes, which are levied on
sales of gasoline throughout the State of Florida and distributed to all cities based on a formula. This category also includes
Police and Firefighter premium taxes which are collected by the State and distributed to local pensions and is not ordinarily
budgeted as the amounts are not predictable. The City also levies Utility Taxes, which are charged on all public utilities that
provide services to City addresses. The largest is FPL Electricity Utility Tax and is budgeted at $6.1 million for FY 2026, and the
total category is budgeted to increase based on the rates charged by utility providers and projected new development in the
City. Finally, the category Other General Taxes is comprised of Communication Services Tax and Local Business Tax and is
budgeted at $1.8 million for FY 2026. Communication Services Tax is charged on the sale of communications and television
services to addresses located within City limits. Local Business Tax is charged to all businesses operating in the City and in
accordance with Florida Statutes. Both revenues are generally stable, although they have been the subject of scrutiny by the
State Legislature and are continually threatened with limitation or repeal.
Permits, Fees, and Special Assessments
The City has a Building Permits special revenue fund and a department purposed for all activities associated with permitting
construction in the City. Further, Florida Statutes specify that resources collected for permitting activity can only be used for
those activities, and no other general use within the City. Therefore, the City continually reviews the permit fee schedule to
ensure that fees recover the actual cost of work performed. FY 2025 revenue is projected lower than budgeted due to the
timing of permitting activity, and there are a number of projects in process and development in the City continues to occur as
Dania Beach is an attractive location for new development, and the revenue outlook is positive for FY 2026. Impact Fees are
another charge levied on new developments within the City to defray the cost of growth’s “impact” on vital services such as
parks, public safety, and water & sewer infrastructure needs. Collections have been substantial in recent years due to ongoing
development, and the City is projected to have $8.9 million in total impact fee reserves at the end of FY 2025. The City does not
budget for this category to any substantial degree due to its unpredictable nature and because their use is restricted in
accordance with Florida Statutes. This category also includes Franchise Fees, established through an agreement that grants a
utility the right to use public rights-of-way for its facilities, and a fee is assessed to all customers in the impacted areas receiving
service from the utility. This includes electricity, gas, and solid waste services sold to customers within the City. This is a relatively
stable category and ordinarily fluctuates based on utility service rates and estimates for FY 2026 are higher than previous years
due to continued development and growth. The City levies annual Special Assessments for Fire Rescue services, Stormwater
infrastructure maintenance and improvements, and the collection and disposal of residential solid waste. These fees are
governed by Florida Statutes and may only be levied for the uses initially authorized and in accordance with an assessment
methodology that fairly apportions cost to all assessable properties within the City. For FY 2026, the City recommends a $29.71
increase to the residential Fire Assessment rate in order to continue to provide the highest levels of service while ensuring the
lowest possible response times. The Stormwater Assessment will remain at $120 in the coming year to meet debt service
requirements and to provide additional funding for capital investments. Finally, the Solid Waste Assessment will increase by
$22.32, and the City will again be using Solid Waste Fund reserves, to continue to provide critical services and the appropriate
management of the solid waste function. The last category titled Other Permits and Fees is collected primarily for zoning and
development activities. These revenues are budgeted slightly lower than the prior year, although development remains strong.
Intergovernmental
The City receives resources from the Federal, State, and other Local Governments for various purposes, including legislative
appropriations, grants, and revenue sharing. In recent years. the Federal government has provided grants including the
Hazardous Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) for hardening City facilities and the sewer system, and the $16.2 million State and
Local Coronavirus Relief Fund, spent in accordance with guidelines established by the US Treasury Department. The City has
also received funding from the State of Florida in the past several years, primarily through the Resilient Florida program, to
fund drainage and other infrastructure projects. The City has been awarded Grants from Other Local Units through the
Broward County Transportation Surtax program for projects that have an impact on the transit system and that enhance the
ability of County residents to traverse roadways in a safe and efficient manner, including the Southeast Drainage Phase I and II,
and SW 43rd Terrace drainage projects. The State of Florida also provides annual revenue sharing to the City, which consists

of motor fuel tax, sales tax, and alcoholic beverage licenses. For FY 2026, the City will again see gaming compact revenue
sharing from the State estimated at $814k, and this will grow in future years. These are all significant sources of revenue which
the City relies upon, and are budgeted based on past trends and revenue estimates provided by the State of Florida each
summer and total $5 million in the budget. Lastly, the City receives Shared Revenues from Other Local Units in the form of
Local Business Taxes from Broward County, budgeted at $34k for FY 2026.
Charges for Services
The City Charges for Services that are provided to the public, categorized as General Government, Public Safety, Physical
Environment, Transportation, and Culture and Recreation. General Government consists of fees paid by title companies for lien
inquiries pursuant to a sale/purchase of property within the City. This is a stable revenue source and, at $105k for FY 2026,
comprises a small percentage of government-wide revenues. Public Safety charges are related to Fire Inspections and
Emergency Medical Transports, and have been trending higher in recent years due to increased calls for emergency medical
services. The projection for FY 2026 is $2.7 million based on the trend of recent collections. The City evaluates these fees
periodically to ensure they recover the actual cost of providing such services. Physical Environment is a significant category at
$17.3 million, and is primarily comprised of water and sewer utility charges to customers and solid waste collection fees. These
fees are based on the rate schedules and the number of customers connected to the system or receiving the services.
Transportation reflects all parking fees paid by beach patrons, both at the meter and for annual parking passes and is
projected at $2.8 million for next fiscal year. The City's beach is currently experiencing the highest amounts of patronage and
with an increase to parking rates this year, revenues are higher than ever. These funds are used for continued improvements of
the Ocean Park campus, including sand nourishment, dune reconstruction, and the maintenance of all beach facilities. Lastly,
Culture and Recreation is a broad category reflective of fees charged for camps, after-school programs, community center
rental fees, facility entrance fees, special events proceeds, and registration for sports leagues and other programs. The
Recreation Department continues to expand existing offerings and initiate new, innovative programs to engage the citizens of
Dania Beach to enjoy its parks and participate in community activities. The reconstruction of CW Thomas Park will be
completed in the Fall of 2025 and bring new programs and recreational opportunities to the neighboring community.
Fines and Forfeitures
This category encompasses revenues received pursuant to the violation of City ordinance. The main driver of this revenue is
Code Violations in the General Fund, which are noticed to private properties that violate any particular section of the City code,
including appearance, noise, and unsafe structures. This category also includes Parking Violations collected in the Ocean Park
Fund. Although these revenues can be significant, the City's goal is always compliance with the code, rather than the revenue.
Due to the unpredictable nature of violations, this revenue tends to fluctuate from year to year and is projected at $645k for FY
2026.
Miscellaneous Revenue
This category is an accumulation of revenues that are not otherwise categorized, consisting of Interest and Other Earnings,
Rents and Royalties, Disposition of Fixed Assets, and Miscellaneous Revenue. The City earns Interest and Other Earnings on its
accumulated reserves in all operating funds. Interest rate policy in the past few years has allowed the City to obtain its highest
returns on reserves in recent history, providing for budgeted interest earnings revenue of $6.1 million in FY 2026. Rents and
Royalties are related to leases with private entities for the use of City property. The City receives revenue related to leases of the
pier and restaurant, the Harbour Towne Marina lease, the City Hall parking garage, land at Fire Station 1 for a cell phone tower,
rental of dock slips at the City's Marina, and bus shelters at locations throughout the City. In recent years, the City increased the
rental rates at the Marina in order to fund additional security and capital improvements, and to remain competitive in the
industry. The pier and Quarterdeck restaurant are seeing tremendous activity, and the City's lease with the Lucky Fish
restaurant will provide a minimum of $325k in rent/revenue sharing in FY 2026. When the City retires and sells assets at auction,
it receives revenue for the Disposition of Fixed Assets. Each year, a number of vehicles are replaced, and old assets are sold at
competitive auction. Other assets are sold but do not amount to substantial revenues. It is a difficult category to budget, and is
not relied upon for the provision of government services. Lastly, Miscellaneous Revenues consists of contributions to the City
for various purposes, insurance reimbursements, admission and sales of goods at the pier, and slot machine proceeds from the
Dania Beach Casino and Jai Alai. This is also a difficult category to budget, however the amounts are significant. The casino will
provide an estimated $735k in FY 2026 from its slot machine gaming activities. The pier receives over $384k in revenue from
patrons, which is used for operation and maintenance of the pier itself and for future capital improvements.
Other Financing Sources
The final revenue category is Other Financing Sources and consists of Non-Operating Revenues in the form of Interfund
Transfers/Contributions, Administrative Cost Allocations, Debt Proceeds, and Appropriation of Reserves. The City has developed
a cost allocation methodology that apportions the cost of shared services between the various operating funds, resulting
in Non-Operating Revenues as transfers between funds. In addition, Non-Operating Revenues includes the appropriation of
prior year reserves for the current budget. The combined total of transfers and appropriated reserves is $35.9 million. The
Transfers From category is comprised of payment in lieu of taxes from other funds to the General Fund and totals $600k for FY
2026. This amount is reviewed each year to ensure the amounts are appropriate and properly apportioned among the various
contributing funds.

Revenues
Each year, Finance projects revenues based on a number of methods. Ad Valorem taxes are calculated using the tax base
(provided by the Broward County Property Appraiser) and the City's millage rate (set by the City Commission). Other
revenues are directly based on fees attached to specific parcels, such as the Fire Assessment. The City receives revenue
sharing from the State of Florida, and the City budgets these revenues using both estimates provided by the State and prior-
year trends. Most other revenues are based on prior-year trends, adjusted for any changes to fee schedules, if applicable.

Taxes (56.4%) comprises over half of General Fund revenues, which is common in local government. Therefore, fluctuations
in the City's tax base and changes in the millage rate can have a significant impact on resources available in formulating the
budget. For FY 2026, the City's tax base increased by 13.56%, and there was no change to the millage rate of 5.9998,
providing the City with an additional $5.1 million in budgeted revenues. This category also includes local option taxes, which
are levied by Broward County and shared with cities based on population. Local option gas taxes are projecting slightly
higher as the statewide economy continues to be strong. Communication services taxes are also projected higher than the
prior year, due to the increase in residential housing units in the City. Utility taxes are levied on the sale of electricity, water,
and propane gas within the City. The largest, Electricity Utility Tax, is trending higher, along with Water Utility Tax. Finally,
Local Business Tax, which is charged annually to all businesses registered in the City, is slightly higher than the FY 2025
budget and is based on the trend of actual collections year-to-date.
Permits, Fees, and Special Assessments (13.6%) includes the Fire Services Non-Ad Valorem Assessment, Franchise Fees,
impact fees for new developments, and other fee-based services, most of which are related to Planning and Zoning
activities. Permitting activity in the City remains strong, due to the significant amount of development. The Dania Pointe
development continues and Spirit Airlines has completed the initial phase of their corporate headquarters/training center,
and there are a number of mixed-use developments in the pipeline, boding well for the City's future tax base. The Fire
Protection Services Non-Ad Valorem Assessment revenue is budgeted at $8.6 million and the residential rate will increase by
$29.71. Each year, the City prepares a methodology report that analyzes the change in properties and development, along
with Fire Rescue call data, to appropriately apportion costs among benefiting properties. This revenue source is critical for
the City in keeping up with the cost of providing fire protection services. The City receives Franchise Fees from Florida Power
and Light (FPL) and Waste Management, in exchange for permitting them to conduct business in the City rights-of-way.
These revenues are based on the actual sales of those services in the City and the actual rates charged. Both the FPL and
Solid Waste Franchise Fees are projected to be higher in FY 2026.
Other Financing Sources (15.1%) is composed of transfers from other funds, issuance of debt, and use of reserves. The FY
2026 budget has increased due to the use of impact fees totaling $9.75 million for the Emergency Operation and Olsen Park
projects as well as to fund the new Capital Reserve Fund. In addition, after analysis of the cost allocation methodology, the
Citywide contribution from other funds to the General Fund increased by a total of $24k.
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 68
Miscellaneous Revenue (5.7%) includes interest on City investments, rents charged for leases of City property, casino slot
machine revenue sharing, contributions and reimbursements, and all other revenues not otherwise categorized. These
revenues are projected to be higher for FY 2025 as interest rates have held steady, and the Finance Department has worked
closely with the City's Investment Advisor to maximize returns on the City's reserves.
Intergovernmental (5.3%) includes revenue sharing from Federal, State, and County agencies, via grants, sales tax
collections, motor fuel taxes, and other sources. Although the City has not yet received all the municipal revenue estimates
provided by the State of Florida Department of Revenue, the revenue-sharing amounts are projecting higher, and this is
attributable to the strong economic conditions experienced throughout the State. The official estimates will be incorporated
into the adopted budget.
The Charges for Services (3.5%) category encompasses all revenues related to activities for which the City charges users a
fee for services rendered. This includes fees for ambulance transports, fire inspections, as well as other public safety,
administrative, and recreation fees. Overall, these revenues are stable from year to year. There is an increase in this category
for FY 2026 due to a higher trend of EMS transport fees and fire inspections revenue, as well as increased recreation
programming, participation in athletic programs, and special events revenue.
Fines and Forfeitures (0.3%) is a relatively small revenue source, and is mainly composed of fines for City Code violations.
The City remains vigilant in its efforts to enforce the City Code, ensuring properties are safe and conform to building code
and general aesthetics. The FY 2026 budget is trending slightly higher than the current year adopted budget, and this is
based on prior year trends and future assumed collections.

Between FY2023 and FY2025, the City has initiated several important projects, including the Infiltration & Inflow initiative.
This project is designed to eliminate inflow and significantly reduce contract treatment costs. Furthermore, we are
undertaking the rehabilitation of several lift stations, which is being funded 50% by grants along with ARPA funding. These
projects are currently underway, and the budget has been adjusted to reflect the anticipated reduction in expenditures for
FY2025-26.

Stormwater
Fund
The purpose of the Stormwater Fund is to manage and maintain an effective
drainage system that adequately handles the impact of heavy rain events,
protects surface water quality, supports fish and wildlife habitat, and protects the
environment. The City currently faces significant challenges to its ability to clear
groundwater from both rain events and tidal flooding. As a result, there are
numerous projects underway to keep the streets dry and protect property from
groundwater issues.
Summary
The City of Dania Beach is projecting $11.25M of revenue in FY2026, which represents a 59.3% decrease over the prior year.
Budgeted expenditures are projected to decrease by 59.3% or $16.41M to $11.25M in FY2026.

In response to continued flooding challenges in certain neighborhoods, the City issued a $30 million revenue bond secured
by assessment revenues in Fall 2024. The stormwater assessment rate increased to $120 per equivalent residential unit
(ERU), providing additional funds used to pay the debt service on the bonds and fund additional capital investments.

Facilities
Maintenance
Fund
The Facilities Maintenance Internal Service Fund accounts for all costs associated
with maintaining City facilities. Costs are allocated based on two main factors: the
square footage of each facility and the number of full-time equivalent employees
employed there. The costs are further broken down by the individual fund allocations
of each employee and this determines the final cost allocation. Additional costs for
exceptional items and capital expenditures are directly charged to the appropriate
funds. Paying funds also contribute toward depreciation for the renewal of facilities.
Summary
The City of Dania Beach is projecting $1.59M of revenue in FY2026, which represents a 7.0% increase over the prior year.
Budgeted expenditures are projected to increase by 7.0% or $103.9K to $1.59M in FY2026.

Information
Technology
Fund
The Information Technology division is responsible for all computers, software,
networking equipment, wireless infrastructure, internet services, telephone services,
and general computing and technology needs. The Information Technology Internal
Service Fund receives funding from nearly all other City operating units via interfund
transfers. Costs are allocated based on the number of supported devices at each
facility and the number of full-time equivalent employees employed there. Similar to
the Facilities ISF, the costs are further broken down by the individual fund allocations
of each employee and this determines the final cost allocation. Additional costs for
exceptional items and capital expenditures are directly charged to the appropriate
funds. Paying funds also contribute toward depreciation for the replacement of aging
or obsolete technology, and to ensure the City's cyber defenses are protecting the
City's information technology infrastructure.
Summary
The City of Dania Beach is projecting $3.08M of revenue in FY2026, which represents a 8.3% decrease over the prior year.
Budgeted expenditures are projected to decrease by 8.3% or $277.9K to $3.08M in FY2026.

BSO Police Services Narrative
The Broward Sheriff's Office Dania Beach District continues to meet the challenges in reference to the
significant growth of the city. The Broward Sheriff's Office has responded to this challenge with proactive
measures mentioned below, focusing on community outreach, crime prevention, proactive crime control
measures and innovative technological advances. During the 2024/2025 fiscal year, the City of Dania Beach
added four deputy positions to help with the growth and expansion of the city. The City of Dania Beach,
working in partnership with the Broward Sheriff's Office, purchased a third special high-water emergency
response vehicle to allow deputies to respond to all calls for service within flooded areas that regular patrol
vehicles cannot access. The Broward Sheriff's Office, in partnership with the City of Dania Beach, successfully
installed 26 fixed LPR (license plate reader) cameras throughout the city to help deter and catch criminals
targeting our residents and visitors. For the 2025 2026 fiscal year, the Broward Sheriff's Office will continue to
provide a safe city for all Dania Beach residents and visitors. The Command Staff works closely with the city
commission and administration to ensure that our goals, objectives, and day-to-day activities align with the
city's priorities and strategic plan. Our deputies and detectives will work to solve crimes, arrest criminals, and
deter criminal activity within Dania Beach.
OBJECTIVES:
Goal 1:
The Broward Sheriff's Office district command staff, deputies, and personnel will work to positively impact
the quality of life in Dania Beach. We will work to stop and arrest those committing criminal activities
within the city, and Dania Beach deputies will also work to address quality of life issues.
Objective:

Made a substantial contribution to holiday aesthetics with the completion the electrification of five medians on east
Dania Beach Boulevard. The additional holiday lights and lit decorations along this corridor will enhance the aesthetics
and holiday spirit during this cherished season, just as resulted along the Griffin Road medians during the 2024 holiday
season.
Issues and Challenges
Traffic calming implementation is required on some neighborhood streets, with consideration given not only to installing
speed humps, but possibly traffic circles and improved road markings.
Traffic congestion will continue to pose challenges, particularly on the east side of the city as the SE Drainage Project’s
impact is felt (work begins in mid-summer).
Effective project management must be continued as large projects such as the SE Drainage Project come on line in with
medium and smaller projects.
Key Objectives FY 26
Further improve Ocean Park/beach maintenance by deploying one additional full-time position to allow for better daily
coverage. This added resource will help address additional demands in the park resulting from the new restaurant.
Augment the Department’s capacity to manage the multiple and often simultaneous projects that are both in progress
and starting in the coming months by adding a third Project Manager position.
Completed solicitation on SE Drainage Improvement Project – Phase II.
Continue the planning and implementation of the citywide Landscaping Master Plan, with the design of the Dania Beach
Boulevard/east corridor to be completed in FY26 and the work substantially completed in the fiscal year.
Coordinate with the Community Development Department for proper planning to abate traffic impacts in our
community.

Stormwater Utility Narrative
Mission
Manage and maintain an effective stormwater system that adequately handles the impact of heavy rain events, protects
surface water quality, supports fish and wildlife habitat, and protects the environment.
Responsibilities
Maintenance, repair, and construction of stormwater structures.
Scheduled mechanical sweeping and litter removal along City, State and County roadways.
Compliance with all County, State and Federal agency requirements, including the annual National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
Accomplishments FY 2025
Continue the construction of vital drainage improvements: SE Drainage, SW 34 Terrace, and other drainage projects.
Completed the Citywide Stormwater Master Plan.
Issues
The rapid pace of urban densification is making more areas impervious, thereby requiring new stormwater infrastructure.
Lack of adequate stormwater infrastructure west of I-95.
Aging infrastructure that is past lifecycle in the older section of the city.
Inadequate inventory of existing stormwater systems.
Flooding complaints from businesses and residents, while reduced due to the successful completion of several projects,
have continued in parts of the city.
Swales that have been used for parking rather than water retention areas, leading to compacted soil which is less
pervious.
Tidal surge, sea level rises, and the water table rises.
Traffic congestion will continue to pose challenges, particularly on the east side of the city as the SE Drainage Project’s
impact is felt (work begins in mid-summer).
Effective project management must be continued as large projects such as the SE Drainage Project come in line with
medium and smaller projects.
While impacts associated with flooding during heavy rain periods will continue to be mitigated by the completion of
drainage projects such as SW 43 Terrace and the completion of SW 52 Street and SW 34 Terrace drainage projects
in FY25, the expected occurrence of more frequent and severe storms will continue to pose a challenge.
Key Objectives FY 2026
Implement a Capital Improvement Program for stormwater improvements that will facilitate the proper infrastructure
required to sustain anticipated redevelopment and ensure environmental compliance required for the stormwater
system.
Start construction on SE Drainage Improvement Phase II Project.
Continue to address drainage issues and complaints in an expeditious and effective manner.
Continue to update and build the GIS atlas for stormwater and add markers to roadways..

CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN
City of Dania Beach | City Commission Adopted Budget FY26 Page 298
Capital Investments: One-year Plan
The capital budget represents appropriations used for capital or fixed asset improvements, funded either through borrowing or
direct expenditure. Capital expenditures refer to capital assets—real or personal property—that meet or exceed the
capitalization threshold for their asset class and have an estimated useful life of more than one year.
The capitalization thresholds are as follows:
$5,000 for Exhaustible Land Improvements, Buildings and Building Improvements, and Machinery and Equipment
$20,000 for Infrastructure
All Inexhaustible Land and Land Improvements are capitalized regardless of cost
Capital assets are recorded at their historical cost, which includes the vendor's invoice (adjusted for any trade-ins or allowances
shown on the invoice), along with initial installation costs (excluding in-house labor). Historical cost also includes any ancillary
charges such as freight, site preparation and professional fees. This approach ensures accurate accounting and compliance

Griffin Marine Park Boat Ramp and Dock Replacement
Overview
Request Owner Yeimy Guzman, Chief Financial Officer
Department Public Services
Type Capital Improvement
Description
This project will replace the boat ramp and docks at Griffin Marine Park.
The pitch or incline angle of the boat ramp located at Griffin Marine Park has been identified as the cause of several incidents involving
automobiles sliding into the Dania Cut-off Canal while launching boats. Regular boat ramp maintenance is insufficient to keep the
ramp’s surface fully slip-resistant. Some vehicles slid down the boat ramp into the canal. Aside from more maintenance, the incline of the
boat ramp is being redesigned to make it less steep.
This project is eligible to receive boating improvement program funds from the Florida Inland Navigation District(FIND). In 2024, the City
applied to FIND for funding to redesign the boat ramp. If awarded, the City will be eligible to apply for construction funds.
The project is in the design phase. Once the design is completed, the South Florida Water Management District must permit the project.
Construction is expected to begin in October 2025.
