Finance Memorandum
DATE: 9/24/2026
TO: Mayor and Commissioners
FROM: Candido Sosa-Cruz, ICMA-CM, City Manager
VIA: Yeimy Guzman, CPA, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: Approval of a Resolution adopting proposed millage rates for the Fiscal Year
beginning October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027
Request:
The City Administration requests approval of a Resolution adopting proposed millage rates for
the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027.
Background:
The City Manager has prepared and submitted to the City Commission an annual report covering
the operation of the City and has set forth in it an estimate of the expenditures and revenues of
the City for the ensuing year beginning October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027.
The City Manager has presented to the City Commission detailed information supporting such
estimates, affording the City Commission a comprehensive understanding of the City
Government for the ensuing period identified above, including expenditures for corresponding
items during the last two fiscal years and increased and decreased demands for the ensuing year
as compared with corresponding appropriations for the last fiscal year.
The City Commission has met and carefully considered the annual report and estimate and has
determined and fixed the amount necessary to carry on the government of the City for the
ensuing year, has prepared a tentative budget setting forth the amounts necessary to be raised for
the various departments of the City, and has appropriated such amounts to the various
departments of the City considering the applicable funds on hand and the estimated departmental
revenues.
The City Commission has determined that in order to produce a sufficient sum to fund the
tentative proposed budget, it is necessary that an operating millage of 5.9998 be levied against ad
valorem valuation of property subject to taxation in the City, and the “rolled back rate” is 5.7133
mills, and the proposed millage reflects a 5.01% increase over the rolled-back rate. The City
Commission has further determined that, in order to sufficiently fund its debt obligations, the
voted debt service millage rate shall be 0.0447 mills.
Budgetary Impact
Adoption of the following proposed millage rates will provide the required funding for the
operations and debt service of the City of Dania Beach for the Fiscal Year ending September 30,
2027:
Operating: 5.9998 (no change)
Debt Service: 0.0447 (decreased by .0538)
Total combined millage levy: 6.0445
This results in a gross operating ad valorem levy of $50,311,786 and net budgeted operating
revenue of $48,047,756.
Recommendation
Approve the Resolution adopting proposed millage rates for the Fiscal Year beginning October
1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027.

Code Compliance Division
This month, the Code Compliance Division responded to 79 complaints submitted through the
City’s Ask Dania Beach App, with each concern promptly reviewed and inspected by our Code
Compliance staff.
The Division also continues to work closely with Public Services to address bulk trash and nuisance
conditions throughout the City. During the month, 45 bulk notices were issued as part of our
ongoing efforts to maintain clean, safe, and attractive neighborhoods.
Parks and Recreation
C.W. Thomas Park and P.J. Meli Park continue to provide valuable swimming instruction for youth
and adults throughout our community. Utilizing our trained lifeguard staff, these programs focus on
water safety, swimming fundamentals and building confidence in and around the water.
August was an especially successful month for the swimming lessons program, with more than 40
youth participants registered across both facilities. The strong enrollment demonstrates the
continued demand for accessible aquatic programming and, more importantly, provides our young
residents with essential water-safety and swimming skills.

HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 10, 2026
TO: Candido Sosa-Cruz, ICMA-CM, City Manager
FROM: Linda Gonzalez, SPHR, SHRM-SCP – Chief Human Resources Officer LG
RE: Human Resources and Risk Management Report
Overview
The Human Resources and Risk Management Department continues to advance key strategic initiatives
that strengthen the City’s workforce, support operational continuity, enhance employee engagement,
manage organizational risk, and position Human Resources as a proactive business partner and trusted
advisor. The following highlights departmental activities and accomplishments during the reporting
period.
Recruitment and Talent Acquisition
The Human Resources Department continues to work collaboratively with departmental leadership to
address current and anticipated staffing needs. Recruitment efforts remain focused on attracting qualified
candidates, coordinating the selection process, and facilitating a smooth transition from recruitment
through onboarding.
Several vacancies are currently moving through various stages of the recruitment and hiring process,
including:
• Permitting Coordinator II - Accepting Applications
• Park Custodian – Screening Applications
• Lead Facility Maintenance Technician – facilities organization chart being re-evaluated by
Public Services
• Facility Maintenance Technician – facilities organization chart being re-evaluated by Public
Services
• Equipment Operator I – Accepting Applications
• Beach Lifeguard O/C – Candidate selected and offer in progress
• Beach Lifeguard (P/T) - Accepting Applications (Internal Posting Only)
Human Resources continues to provide strategic oversight and coordination of recruitment and hiring
activities to support organizational workforce needs and address critical vacancies. Key efforts focus on
strengthening recruitment outreach, facilitating effective candidate selection, ensuring timely completion
of pre-employment and background screening requirements, and supporting the successful onboarding of
new employees.
Page 2 of 3
These initiatives are integral to maintaining workforce capacity, supporting operational continuity, and
ensuring departments have access to qualified talent. Human Resources remains focused on optimizing
the hiring process, enhancing responsiveness to departmental needs, and delivering a consistent and
positive experience for both hiring managers and prospective employees.
Training and Development
Human Resources remains committed to building a skilled, engaged, and high-performing workforce by
providing targeted training opportunities that promote professional growth, strengthen leadership
capabilities, enhance workplace safety, and support the City’s overall success.
During August, Human Resources coordinated several professional development opportunities, including
a customized Team-Building Workshop for employees at C.W. Thomas Park, two Health and Safety
Training sessions, Advanced Customer Service and De-escalation Training, and a new Giving and
Receiving Constructive Criticism workshop. These programs received positive feedback from participants
and reinforced communication, collaboration, accountability, workplace safety, and continuous
improvement.
Upcoming September Employee Trainings
Professional Skills Enhancement Training: Two sessions—Change Management and Performance
Evaluations and Feedback—are scheduled for Monday, September 28, 2026. Facilitated by returning
professional trainer and coach Shani Lenard, these sessions will provide employees and supervisors with
practical strategies for navigating organizational change, managing performance, communicating
expectations, and delivering meaningful feedback.
As part of Human Resources’ ongoing commitment to empowering employees and providing meaningful
professional development opportunities, three Parks and Recreation team members will attend FAU’s
Leadership Boot Camp: People Management from September 15–17, 2026. This 3-day intensive program
will strengthen their skills in performance management, communication, teamwork, collaboration,
problem-solving, and navigating challenging workplace situations. By investing in leadership development,
Human Resources continues to equip employees with practical tools to grow professionally, support their
teams, and contribute to the City’s long-term organizational success.
Risk Management, Wellness, and Safety
We continue to take a proactive role in safeguarding City operations and employee well-being through
forward-looking initiatives.
The Human Resources/Risk Management Department and Brown & Brown, our insurance broker,
successfully negotiated a 13% property insurance program rate deduction for the 26-27 fiscal year insurance
renewal. This rate decrease significantly offset the total premium increase due to the $14M increase in
assets. Even with the significant increase of $14M in assets (primarily due to the new CW Thomas Park
and I.T. Parker Community Center renovation, etc.), our total renewal premium costs only increased 4.5%.
Without the substantial property rate decrease, we would have seen approximately a $300,000 increase
over last year’s total premium, instead of only $115,000.

The Safety Committee (now the Eagle WISE Committee) will meet again on September 24th and will
discuss safety practices during lightning storms and safety precautions to take during the upcoming holidays
such as Halloween and Christmas.
In early September, Risk Management and BSO Fire Rescue teamed up to conduct the semi-annual (non-
announced) fire drills at City Hall, Public Services and at the major parks. Fire Rescue recommended that
we add a lock-box with an entry card at the side entrance of City Hall to allow Fire Rescue to enter City
Hall if the main entrance was unavailable for any reason. Risk Management is coordinating the lock-box
installation with Facilities Management.
Compensation and Benefits
We remain focused on providing employees with competitive, comprehensive benefits while continuing to
implement strategic initiatives that support recruitment, retention, and employee well-being.
The City’s Open Enrollment period has concluded, and we are currently testing the file feed from Bentek
to New World. The full file will include all employees and capture both current benefit elections and
changes made during Open Enrollment, including the transition to MetLife Dental.
• Open Enrollment Changes: Benefit election changes are scheduled to take effect in the October 2
paycheck.
• Salary Plan Changes: We are working closely with the Payroll team to implement all salary plan
changes scheduled for October 16 pay date.
Continuous Improvement and Innovation
We are pending Commission approval for the selection of an IT consultant to start the implementation
process of a new human resource information system (HRIS).

IT Parker continues to be a premier rental site for the Department. So far this year, the site has hosted 68
external rentals, 29 internal rentals, and 66 recreation programs.
With our successful Summer Camp and Extended Break Camp programs coming to an end, it was time to get
back into the swing of things as we kicked off an exciting and promising 2026–2027 school year. Our Rising Stars
After Care Program is currently in full swing, and we are thrilled with the strong enrollment across all three
locations. We currently have 83 children enrolled, with C.W. Thomas Park completely sold out at 41 children.
Frost Park has 24 children enrolled, while PJ Meli Park has 17.
With enrollment continuing to grow, we are very close to having all three sites completely sold out for the
school year. We are excited to see such strong participation and look forward to another successful year with
our Rising Stars families.
The overall success of the Rising Stars Program is something we are extremely proud of. Our ability to serve the
community and provide parents with a safe, supportive environment for their children after school reflects the
program’s continued value and impact.
Through tutoring, engaging activities, STEM opportunities, and cognitive enrichment, Rising Stars provides
children with meaningful opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive outside the traditional school day. The
program’s continued success demonstrates the ongoing demand for quality after-school programming and
highlights the department’s commitment to offering accessible, enriching services to families throughout the
community.
C.W. Thomas and PJ Meli Park continue to provide valuable swimming instruction to youth and adults
throughout the community, utilizing our lifeguards to deliver quality lessons focused on water safety and
swimming development.
August was a particularly successful month for our swimming lessons program, with more than 40 youth
registered for lessons across both facilities. This strong enrollment reflects continued demand for accessible
aquatic programming and demonstrates the community’s interest in providing children with essential water
safety and swimming skills.
Participants begin by learning basic water safety and becoming comfortable in the water before progressing into
foundational swimming techniques and learning to swim independently. We are extremely proud of the
continued growth and participation in this program and are thrilled to provide opportunities for individuals of all
ages to develop confidence, learn essential water safety skills, and stay safe around aquatic environments.

two home games at the C.W. Thomas Park football field, with two additional home games scheduled for
Saturday, October 3, and Saturday, October 10, which will serve as the team’s Homecoming game. The return of
home football has provided an exciting opportunity for players, families, and the community to come together
and support youth athletics right here in Dania Beach.
The opening of the concession stand has also been a tremendous success. With staff working diligently to stock,
operate, and serve during each home game, the concession stand has generated more than $2,100 in revenue
to date. This additional revenue represents a positive financial impact for the City while enhancing the overall
experience for families and spectators.

SUBJECT: Public Art Advisory Board Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27
Request:
To establish Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget for the Public Art Advisory Board, utilizing the Public
Art Fund.
Background:
On December 10, 2019, the City adopted an ordinance creating the City’s Public Art Program
and Public Art Fund. The Public Art Fund is an interest-bearing account created by the City to
receive monies to be used solely for the acquisition and conservation of art.
The Public Art Program is funded through the City’s Public Art Fund and supports the consultant
contract with the Cultural Planning Group, public art project commissions, artist stipends,
program materials, the public art inventory platform, and maintenance and conservation of the
City’s public art collection.
Staff Analysis
In Fiscal Year 2025-26, through July 31, 2026, Public Art Board expended $73,103.50 to include
fees for the Consultant, Sponsorships, Public Art maintenance, The Ocean in a Drop and Dania
Stars celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary. The City received $62,538.96 in revenue from
development projects under construction this year through July 31, 2026. The total Public Art
Fund balance as of July 2026 is $1,659,235.
On June 24, 2025, the City Commission approved the increase to its required Public Art
contribution to one percent (1%) of construction cost for all development over $1,000,000.00.
Additionally, we are continuing with the reduction made last year with no more than ten (10)
monthly meetings, canceling the July and August meeting (for summer).

Community Development Memorandum
DATE: 9/24/2026
TO: Mayor and Commissioners
FROM: Candido Sosa-Cruz, ICMA-CM, City Manager
VIA: Eleanor Norena, CFM, Deputy City Manager
Corinne Lajoie, MURP, AICP, Director
Shanesa Miranda, Deputy Director
SUBJECT: A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Dania Beach, Florida,
authorizing a First Amendment to the Agreement between the City of Dania Beach,
Florida and IPS Group Inc. to authorize reimbursement for electronic payment
service fees.
Request:
The Community Development Department is requesting the adoption of a resolution authorizing
the request for approval of a contract amendment with IPS Group Inc.
Background:
The City entered into an Agreement with IPS Group Inc. effective January 13, 2025, under RFP
No. 12342-805 for services that include the collection of City–established charges and the
acceptance of credit card payments pass through.
On August 25, 2026, the City Commission approved an ordinance authorizing the city to assess
electronic payment processing surcharges. The purpose of this surcharge is to ensure the city
recovers payment-processing expenses, rather than absorbing these costs. The surcharge is
strictly limited to actual or reasonably estimated processing costs and is not intended to generate
additional City revenue.
To implement the surcharge, each applicable vendor agreement must be amended. This
amendment allows the City to collect the authorized surcharge on eligible transactions and
ensures that vendor systems comply with payment-card rules and legal requirements.
Upon approval, staff will finalize vendor configurations, conduct testing, prepare customer-
facing disclosures, and coordinate implementation in accordance with Commission-approved
guidelines,
Budgetary Impact
The amendment allows the city to recover electronic payment processing costs rather than
absorbing them, resulting in meaningful savings for the city.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the City Commission approve the contract amendment with IPS Group Inc. to
authorize the implementation of the electronic payment processing surcharge. This amendment is
necessary for compliance with the City’s ordinance and ensures proper cost recovery while
maintaining transparency, customer disclosure, and payment-processor compliance requirements.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH IPS GROUP INC.
FOR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT SERVICE FEES
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (the “First Amendment”) is made and entered into as of
__________________, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), by and between the CITY OF DANIA
BEACH, FLORIDA, a Florida municipal corporation (the “City”), and IPS GROUP, INC., a
foreign corporation authorized to transact business in Florida (the “Contractor”). The City and
Contractor may be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
A. The Parties entered into an agreement dated January 13, 2025, under City of Fort Lauderdale
Request for Proposals No. 12342-805, entitled Parking Meter Technology with Maintenance and
Support (the “Agreement”).
B. The Agreement incorporates the current contract between the City of Fort Lauderdale and
Contractor, which was renewed through January 17, 2027, and authorizes Contractor to provide
parking-meter technology, maintenance, support, and related payment services to the City.
C. Section 215.322(5), Florida Statutes, authorizes a unit of local government to impose an
electronic payment service charge in an amount sufficient to pay the service-fee charges imposed
by the financial institution, vending service company, or payment-card company for eligible
transactions.
D. The City has authorized the recovery of electronic payment processing costs and desires to
establish the contractual requirements under which Contractor will configure, collect, account for,
and report an electronic payment service fee on eligible transactions as directed by the City.
E. The Parties desire to amend the Agreement as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this First
Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated into this First
Amendment.
2. Amendment to Compensation and Payment Processing Terms. Solely as applied to the
Agreement between the City of Dania Beach and Contractor, Section IV, “Compensation,”
of the incorporated City of Fort Lauderdale agreement, together with the applicable credit-
card transaction fee provisions and contract lines contained in Exhibit B, is supplemented
as follows:
2
2.1 Customer-Paid Electronic Payment Service Fee. At the City’s written direction, Contractor
shall configure its payment system to assess and collect from the payor a customer-paid
electronic payment service fee (the “Service Fee”) on eligible electronic payment transactions.
The Service Fee is separate from the underlying City charge and from the credit-card
transaction fees, gateway fees, and other compensation payable to Contractor under the
Agreement, including the applicable contract lines contained in the pricing schedule
incorporated into the Agreement as part of Exhibit “A”.
The Service Fee is intended solely to reimburse the City for the service fee charges imposed
in connection with the applicable electronic payment transaction. Nothing in this First
Amendment increases Contractor’s compensation or modifies the existing prices stated in the
Agreement or Exhibit B unless the Parties expressly agree to that modification in a separate
written amendment.
2.2 Amount and Eligible Transactions. The City shall determine, as authorized by applicable
law and City ordinance or resolution, the payment methods, transactions, and amount or
methodology to which the Service Fee applies. The Service Fee shall not exceed the amount
sufficient to pay the service-fee charges imposed for the applicable transaction by a financial
institution, vending service company, payment processor, or payment-card company.
Contractor shall not establish, increase, decrease, waive, or otherwise modify the Service Fee
without the City’s prior written authorization. Contractor shall promptly notify the City if a
City-directed Service Fee cannot be implemented or would conflict with applicable law or
payment-network requirements.
2.3 Disclosure and Customer Authorization. Before the payor completes an electronic
payment, Contractor shall clearly and conspicuously disclose: (a) the amount of the underlying
City charge; (b) the amount of the Service Fee; (c) the total amount to be charged; and (d) any
City-designated payment method, if available, by which the obligation may be paid without
incurring the Service Fee. Contractor shall provide the payor a reasonable opportunity to cancel
the transaction before the charge is submitted and shall separately identify the Service Fee on
the receipt or transaction confirmation.
2.4 Collection and Remittance. Contractor shall collect and process the Service Fee only as
directed by the City. Contractor shall remit or credit the underlying City charge to the City in
full, without deduction or offset for the Service Fee or other processing costs, unless the City
expressly authorizes a different settlement method in writing. Contractor shall separately
identify the Service Fee in its settlement and reconciliation records. No Service Fee collected
under this First Amendment constitutes additional compensation to Contractor except to the
extent expressly authorized in writing by the City.
2.5 Records, Reconciliation, and Corrections. Contractor shall provide reports sufficient for
the City to verify the underlying City charge, the Service Fee assessed, refunds, reversals,
chargebacks, and the amount settled. Such reports shall not include full payment-card numbers,
security codes, or other cardholder data that the City does not require for reconciliation.
3
Contractor shall promptly notify the City of any unauthorized, erroneous, or excessive Service
Fee and, at the City’s direction, refund or correct the affected transaction. Contractor shall
cooperate with the City in reconciling all amounts collected under this First Amendment.
2.6 Compliance and System Responsibilities. Contractor shall perform its obligations under
this First Amendment in compliance with section 215.322, Florida Statutes, the City’s
applicable ordinance, resolution, written fee schedule, and administrative direction, applicable
payment-network requirements, and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards.
Contractor shall not assess a Service Fee where prohibited by applicable law or payment-
network requirements. To the extent verification, processing, disclosure, security, or reporting
functions are performed through Contractor’s system or services, Contractor is responsible for
performing those functions accurately, securely, and in accordance with the Agreement and
this First Amendment.
2.7 Implementation Costs and Additional Compensation. The Service Fee does not increase
Contractor’s compensation or modify the prices stated in the Agreement or Exhibit B.
Contractor is not entitled to any additional implementation fee, markup, convenience charge,
or other compensation arising from the Service Fee unless the additional compensation is
specifically approved in a written amendment or change order executed in accordance with the
Agreement.
3. Order of Precedence. If a conflict exists between this First Amendment and the Agreement or
any document incorporated into the Agreement, this First Amendment controls solely with
respect to the subject matter addressed herein. In all other respects, the order of precedence
established in the Agreement remains unchanged.
4. Ratification. Except as expressly modified by this First Amendment, all terms and conditions
of the Agreement remain unchanged, are ratified and confirmed, and continue in full force and
effect. Nothing in this First Amendment extends or renews the term of the Agreement.
5. Authority. Each person signing this First Amendment represents and warrants that he or she is
duly authorized to execute this First Amendment and bind the Party on whose behalf the person
signs.
6. Counterparts and Electronic Signatures. This First Amendment may be executed in
counterparts, each of which is deemed an original and all of which together constitute one
instrument. Electronic signatures and electronically transmitted copies have the same force and
effect as original signatures.
7. Effective Date. This First Amendment becomes effective upon execution by both Parties and
satisfaction of any approval requirements imposed by the City Charter, City Code, or
applicable law, or on such later date as stated above.

The Department of Parks and Recreation is requesting the approval of an agreement for the
purchase of pool operations and lifeguard services for C.W. Thomas Park and P.J. Meli Park,
from One Stop Aquatic Safety LLC, without competitive bidding and without advertisement for
bids, by utilizing the pricing under the City of Homestead, Florida invitation to bid (ITB)
202603, for the duration of the contract, in the amount of nine hundred seventy-two thousand
five hundred one and fifty cents ($972,501.50).
Background:
The City of Dania Beach has multiple pools located at various facilities that require daily pool
operations and lifeguard services. On January 14, 2025, the City Commission passed and
adopted the original agreement with One Stop Aquatic Safety LLC., pursuant to Resolution No.
2025-011, for lifeguard and pool services at P.J. Meli Park. The agreement utilized the pricing
established under the City of Homestead ITB No. 202120, which expires on September 30, 2026.
On November 18, 2025, the City Commission amended the agreement with One Stop Aquatic

received and awarded the new contract to One Stop Aquatic Safety LLC on July 22, 2026.
The Department is recommending to piggyback off the City of Homestead, Florida invitation to
bid (ITB) No. 202603 for lifeguard and pool operations with One Stop Aquatic Safety LLC. One
Stop Aquatic Safety LLC, has a significant amount of experience managing and operating pools,
not just with the City of Homestead but with the Marriott Hotels & Resorts. The Department is
requesting the approval of an agreement for pool operations and lifeguard services from One
Stop Aquatic Safety LLC.
Over the past eighteen months the Parks and Recreation Department has closely monitored and
evaluated the services provided by One Stop Aquatic Safety LLC, for the day-to-day operations
of the pool at PJ Meli Park and C.W. Thomas Park and has observed that they have been very
professional and have exceeded the department’s expectations.
Budgetary Impact
Funding shall be available and appropriated in the total amount of nine hundred seventy-two
thousand five hundred one and fifty cents ($972,501.50) from the general fund, Recreation
Department, PJ Meli Aquatics Division Contract Services Account No. 001-72-06-572-34-10
and the C.W. Thomas, Contractual Services Account No. 001-72-03-572-34-10.

lifeguard services from One Stop Aquatic Safety LLC, without competitive bidding and without
advertisement for bids, by utilizing the pricing under the City of Homestead, Florida invitation to
bid (ITB) 202603, for the duration of the contract, in the amount of nine hundred seventy-two

Public Services Memorandum
DATE: 9/24/2026
TO: Mayor and Commissioners
FROM: Candido Sosa-Cruz, ICMA-CM, City Manager
VIA: Oscar Vasquez, Public Services Director
Carlos Escalante, Public Services Deputy Director
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH BROWARD
COUNTY FOR THE CONSERVATION PAYS PROGRAM
Request:
The Public Services Department (PSD) requests approval of the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with
Broward County for participation in the Conservation Pays Program, a regional water
conservation and rebate program administered by Broward County’s Natural Resources
Division.
Background:
The Conservation Pays Program is a regional water conservation initiative funded through the
Broward Water Partnership and coordinated by Broward County in collaboration with
participating municipalities and water utilities. The Program promotes water conservation
through public education, outreach, and incentives designed to encourage residents and
businesses to reduce water consumption.
The Program provides incentives and rebates for the replacement of existing, low-efficiency
plumbing fixtures with high-efficiency water-saving fixtures. Eligible improvements include
high-efficiency toilets, pre-rinse spray valves, faucets, aerators, showerheads, and other water-
saving fixture combinations approved by Broward County.
In addition to providing financial incentives, the Program includes a regional media and outreach
campaign to educate residents and businesses regarding the importance of water conservation
and available resources to reduce water usage.

Exhibit A
Scope of Services
The Conservation Pays Program (“Program”) is a County-coordinated program with municipal
and utility partners, and uniform branding that distinguishes this collaborative Program. Year-
round messaging promotes water conservation, which is heightened during dry months and
periods of water shortage. Promotion and coordination of rebates and incentives is coordinated
by the County, with an annual goal of distributing two thousand (2,000) toilet rebates, along with
the production of promotional materials, articles, a recognition program, and community
outreach.
The proposed Scope of Services builds upon achievements already realized through
implementation of the Program during its first three (3) five-year periods. The Scope of Services,
below, details the Program elements, obligations, and commitments of the Parties in the delivery
of the water conservation and incentives program within Participant's jurisdiction. This scope of
work covers five (5) years of Program implementation.
The County will provide these services to achieve water conservation, cost savings, and greater
environmental stewardship within residences and businesses throughout the County. This effort
consists of both: i) a technical approach designed to replace water fixtures with higher efficiency
models and reduce demand throughout residences and business operations, thereby resulting in
documented water and cost savings, and supporting energy conservation; and ii) an education
and outreach approach aimed at championing the overall need to conserve water. The County
will coordinate the overall effort and the Participant will aid in Program implementation as
outlined below.
The Scope of Services in support of the Partnership Agreement is undertaken through the
following series of tasks.
A. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAM
a. Provide overall administration of the Agreement. Except as otherwise provided,
administration of the Program will be left to the sole discretion of the County.
City of Dania Beach Conservation Pays ILA Page 14 of 17
b. Coordinate at least one (1) meeting annually with Participant to present the
Program’s annual achievements, review administrative or logistical program
issues, and consider new program promotions and opportunities for
improvement.
c. Provide reports to Participant as requested on rebate expenditures, device
deliveries, and water savings, including an Annual Report outlining the
performance of the program and the meeting of goals and objectives. It will
include a comparison of planned vs. implemented measures, communications
tools, marketing efforts (including media buys), an analysis of marketing efforts
relative to rebate activities, a report on leveraged funds, a summary of Program
awards, identification of Program needs and opportunities, and recommendations
going forward. The report will also address any unanticipated delays and issues
that necessitate modification of the Program. County shall provide the Annual
Report within one (1) month following the completion of the County's fiscal year.
d. Optionally seek additional funds and support from local, state, and national
sources including, but not limited to, SFWMD's Local Cooperative Funding
Program, Water Sense Partnership (EPA), and local groups. In addition, County
may solicit support from sponsors through County’s Advantage Marketing
program. Funds obtained from additional sources may be used to provide
additional rebates or to offset other costs at County's discretion.
B. CONSERVATION PAYS PROGRAM
a. County will develop and promote media campaigns designed to: i) impart water
conservation messages to residents (brochures, website, etc.); ii) identify
opportunities to distribute water-saving information and Program promotional
materials to communities, businesses, schools, and other venues of interest; iii)
and develop and deliver to residents and businesses through various media
educational materials on the need to conserve water and ways to save water.
Residents, employees, businesses, homeowner associations, and other
organizations that include utility customers are the target audiences. Categories
of media to be considered for promoting the Program include pieces for written
publications (newspapers, trade publications, newsletters, brochures), broadcast
media (television, radio, automated phone lines), social media, and mobile device-
compatible websites.
City of Dania Beach Conservation Pays ILA Page 15 of 17
b. County may allow the term to expire for the County’s existing marketing and
outreach vendor contract and may assume primary responsibility for Program
branding, Program website, database management, media buys, and promotional
campaigns. For cost-effectiveness, campaigns will be designed to integrate as
much as possible with existing regional outreach initiatives and media sources.
County may procure consulting services to assist in overall Program development
and implementation on an as-needed basis.
c. County will promote the water conservation and incentives initiative through
interaction with consumer groups, the plumbing industry, and fixture vendors.
County will identify to Participant opportunities to highlight results and publicize
successes. County will work with Participant to complete the following tasks,
including, but not limited to: develop and maintain Program branding and a
Program website, prepare newsprint advertisements, arrange media buys,
develop promotional articles, produce PSAs for viewing on public access channels
and the County's video-on-demand service, design print materials, and develop
promotional concepts.
d. County will work with Participant to facilitate coordination of resources and
communications among the network of partners. County will create a database
that identifies partners, Program services, and educational resources and provide
Program materials (brochures, fliers, posters) in electronic form for reproduction
by Participant. County will generate and post a detailed list of preferred
educational resources on the Program’s main website. Participant will share the
Program materials and preferred educational resources within its service area and
with its residents and businesses.
e. County will coordinate with device vendors to: i) promote the Program and eligible
devices; ii) manage and process rebates; iii) coordinate the purchase of
conservation devices for exchange and giveaway; iv) coordinate with Participant
to identify appropriate points of distribution; v) promote both residential and
commercial opportunities; vi) provide for full accounting/tracking; and vii) provide
additional outreach/promotion where demand may be less than availability.
f. County will work with residents to guide them through the incentives process;
work with regional vendors to ensure the availability of the desired retrofit
fixtures and establish agreements for bulk purchasing; establish working
relationships with the plumbing industry and fixture vendors; receive and evaluate
resident applications for eligibility for replacement and rebates; manage the
acquisition and distribution of fixtures to be provided to residents free of charge;
City of Dania Beach Conservation Pays ILA Page 16 of 17

Public Services Memorandum
DATE: 9/24/2026
TO: Mayor and Commissioners
FROM: Candido Sosa-Cruz, ICMA-CM, City Manager
VIA: Oscar Vasquez, Public Services Director
Carlos Escalante, Public Services Deputy Director
SUBJECT: FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AN EXPENDITURE
EXCEEDING ONE MILLION DOLLARS TO FUND THE FIRE STATION
NO. 1 WIND RETROFIT PROJECT, ITB NO. 26-009
Request:
The Public Services Department is requesting City Commission approval on First Reading of an
ordinance authorizing the expenditure of City funds exceeding one million dollars for the Fire
Station No. 1 Wind Retrofit Project, ITB No. 26-009.
Background:
The City of Dania Beach solicited competitive bids for wind-mitigation upgrades at Fire-Rescue
Station No. 1, located at 116 West Dania Beach Boulevard. The project includes structural
retrofits and modifications intended to improve hurricane resistance and is funded through the
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), as approved by the Florida Division of Emergency
Management (FDEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The construction scope includes roofing and roof-drain work, impact personnel doors,
overhead/roller doors, louvers, roof-access ladders, mechanical equipment tie-downs, generator-
related civil and electrical improvements, installation of the City-purchased generator and
automatic transfer switches, temporary emergency power, electrical service modifications, and
removal of the existing generator.
ITB No. 26-009 was released on May 26, 2026, and bids were received on July 24, 2026. Five
contractors submitted bids.
Bidder Bid Total
Di Pompeo Construction Corporation $982,342.99
S3S Construction, Inc. $1,084,330.50
West Construction, Inc. $1,087,311.67
Vercetti Enterprises, LLC $1,133,722.77
Tadeos Engineering LLC $1,136,520.09
Di Pompeo Construction Corporation submitted the lowest bid. However, following the bid
evaluation process, the City was unable to reach a mutually acceptable legal agreement with Di
Pompeo and therefore did not proceed with an award to that bidder. The City is proceeding with
consideration of S3S Construction, Inc., the second-lowest bidder, at its submitted bid amount of
$1,084,330.50.
Because the S3S bid amount exceeds the City’s $1,000,000 expenditure threshold, the
expenditure must be authorized by ordinance following two advertised public hearings.
Budgetary Impact
Funding for this project will be appropriated from Grant fund 103-22-65-522-63-10. This project
is fully funded through the FDEM grant.
Recommendation
The Public Services Department recommends that the City Commission approve the First
Reading of the ordinance authorizing the expenditure of City funds exceeding one million dollars
to fund the Fire Station No. 1 Wind Retrofit Project, ITB No. 26-009.

emergency-power improvements at Fire-Rescue Station No. 1 ; and
five bids were received in response to ITB No. 26-009, with Di Pompeo
Construction Corporation submitting the lowest bid in the amount of $982,342.99 and S3S Construction,
Inc. submitting the second-lowest bid in the amount of $1,084,330.50; and
following the bid evaluation process, the City was unable to reach a mutually

proceed with an award to that bidder; and
the City is proceeding with consideration of S3S Construction, Inc.,
the second-lowest bidder, at its submitted bid amount of $1,084,330.50; and
the proposed expenditure of $1,084,330.50 exceeds the One Million
Dollar ($1,000,000.00) expenditure threshold and therefore requires approval by

SUBJECT: TX-028-26: The applicant, the City of Dania Beach, is requesting a text
amendment to the City’s Code of Ordinances (Second Reading).
Request:
To amend Section 30-4, entitled “Duty and Powers” to authorize the Public Services Director to
delegate responsibility for tree planting and maintenance and amend Article III. Street Division
at Section 30-9, entitled “Established” to clarify that the Street Division is responsible for
supervising and maintaining all public trees.
Background:
The City is planning to apply for Tree City USA recognition once again this year. The City of
Dania Beach received its first recognition in 1990 when the program started and held the status
for several years after. If approved, the designation would restore the City’s previous Tree City
USA status and mark its 14 years of recognition.
The Tree City USA recognition program includes four standards related to public tree care,
including a tree care ordinance, annual expenditures for community tree care activities, and an
Arbor Day observance. The tree care ordinance standard requires a tree department or position
with legal authority and responsibility for public tree care decisions, among other requirements.
The purpose of Tree City’s USA’s requirement for a tree department is to designate authority
and responsibility over public tree care decisions and help community officials and leaders
determine who is responsible for public tree work.
The Public Services Department is responsible for tree maintenance within the City. After
reviewing the Arbor Day Foundation Ordinance Assistance Tool and the code, staff determined
that two text amendments are necessary to address “Authority and Credentials” ordinance
requirements to demonstrate the City has met this standard. The following text amendments are
proposed and included in the text amend:
1. Duty and Powers.
Establishes that the Public Services Department is responsible for overseeing City trees
and that the Director may designate staff to oversee tree planning, maintenance and
removal.
2. Established
Reinforces the Duty and Powers text amendment by establishing that the Street Division
within the Public Services department is responsible for the supervision of and
maintenance of public trees.
Based on the Arbor Day Foundation Ordinance Assistance Tool, the City’s existing code
satisfies all other requirements relating to public tree care, tree preservation, tree protection
during construction, mitigation, tree planting standards, tree management and enforcement.
This application requires two (2) public hearings by the City Commission.
Staff Analysis
The Tree City USA program, administered by the Arbor Day Foundation, provides communities
with a framework for planting, managing, and caring for public trees. Achieving this designation
will allow the City to demonstrate its ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and to
enhancing the wellbeing of residents and neighborhoods. Trees contribute to public health,
strengthen community identity, and deliver both economic and environmental benefits.
Furthermore, the designation would reinforce the following Comprehensive Plan objectives and
policies:
• Housing and Neighborhood Element
o Policy 2.3.1.7: Recognize that every neighborhood has assets, such as trees, large
yards, schools, people, independent, businesses, etc., that contribute to
neighborhood, identity and the well-being of the people who live, there. Identify
those assets, look for opportunities to, enhance them, and leverage them for
neighborhood, improvement.
• Conservation Element
o Objective 6.1.1: Maintain or improve current air quality within the City.
o Policy 6.1.4.1: Protect and enhance unique vegetative communities through site
design.
o Objective 6.1.1: Protect and enhancement unique vegetative communities through
site design
o Policy 6.1.4.12: Encourage the use of native rather than exotic plants in
landscaping.
o Policy 6.1.4.14: The City shall promote species diversity, the planting of native
landscapes, and sustainable urban forest landscape practices to protect the health
and resiliency of our natural resources from the impacts of climate change
To qualify, communities must maintain a designated tree department, adopt a tree care
ordinance, invest at least $2.00 per capita annually in tree maintenance, and hold an Arbor Day
observance. While the City already meets these requirements, its ordinance must clearly identify
the specific person, department, board, or committee responsible for managing public trees. The
proposed text amendments would:
• Add tree inspection responsibilities to the duties and powers of the Public Services
Director.
• Authorize the Public Services Director to designate staff to oversee tree planting,
maintenance, and removal.
• Clarify that the Street Division within the Public Services Department supervises public
trees, including their maintenance.
Although these responsibilities are already carried out in practice, formally codifying them is
necessary to meet Tree City USA’s standard requiring an established authority over public trees.
Adoption of the proposed text amendments will align the City’s ordinance with Tree City USA
requirements and make the City eligible for the Tree City USA recognition.
Budgetary Impact
Public Services is already responsible for tree maintenance in the City and no budgetary impacts
will result from the proposed changes.
Recommendation
The Community Development Department is recommending the City Commission to approve
the ordinance on second and final reading.
