The City's upcoming contribution will be considerably smaller and budgeted funds could be used for other purposes. He further addressed the American Rescue Plan relief bill. Mayor James questioned when we will know the breakdown of the American Rescue Plan funding. Finance Director DiPaolo noted we do not have specifics on certain aspects of the money, but information should be forthcoming, and he expects to see funding by mid -May or June. Commissioner Lewellen spoke about CARES Act money coming from the County and noted her concern regarding getting the money we are supposed to get from the new relief bill.

Discussion and Possible Action 10.1 Summer Job Program - Mayor James Mayor James noted she would like to propose a summer job program and she would work with the City Manager towards this, with the Commission's concurrence. The Commission consensus was for Mayor James to move forward with the summer job program. 10.2 Approval of budget for Dania Beach Pristine Earth Day Initiative - Commissioner Davis Commissioner Davis said this is a follow up to the Pristine Earth Day presentation from the previous Commission meeting. She has worked with City staff to identify the best section of the beach to concentrate on. There would be a beach cleanup day on Earth Day, April 22"d and we want to encourage our residents and constituents to keep the beach clean all year round every day. This is a family, free event with contests and community service hours are available. A budget is needed because we are giving out t-shirts; we do not want to exceed $2,500 and she is seeking consensus for the budget and for a mini change in the logo. She suggested since we are a turtle nesting station, an image of a turtle inside the D of Dania Beach would be the image she would like to use. She showed a rendering of the logo with a turtle in the D and asked the Commission for consensus to use the turtle image. Mayor James asked if the change in the logo was just for the event and if it follows the logo branding guidelines. City Attorney Ansbro said they did not look at the guidelines. Mayor James said we should look into that first and asked if the $2500 budget is just for t-shirts. Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 10 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, March 23, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. Commissioner Davis responded no, the $2500 is for the entire event that also includes the activities, stations, and supplies. Mayor James felt the budget could come from Parks and Recreation and Public Services, and asked if this was feasible for both departments to contribute to the event. City Manager Garcia noted various steps can be taken; a hybrid option using the Commission's discretionary budget or squeeze some of the items out of the budgets of Parks and Public Services. The t-shirts and banners do not have a date, so they could be used in perpetuity to continue the message of keeping the beach beautiful after the event is over. Mayor James said she wants to use the Public Services and Parks and Recreation budgets rather than pull from the Commission. She does not agree with the turtle shape inside the D logo and would rather leave the logo clean and consistent. City Attorney Ansbro explained all this would be is an outline of a turtle into the logo design; it will not have the three colors of our original logo. Mayor James noted the branding guidelines are specific. City Attorney Ansbro said he would look at the guidelines. Commissioner Lewellen felt this would be perfect for the event; it is earthy and the City is doing a lot for Earth Day this year, so she is fine with funding the $2500 request if it meets branding guidelines. Commissioner Odman said yes to the $2500 and if the logo conforms to brand guidelines, she is fine with it. Vice -Mayor Salvino commented he is good with anything the Commission wishes to do. The Commission consensus was to allocate $2500 for the Dania Beach Pristine Earth Day Initiative and to approve use of the logo if it is within the branding guidelines. 10.3 City Manager annual review/ contract amendment City Manager Garcia thanked the Commission for meeting one-on-one with her and referenced the information included in the agenda packet. She noted she is thankful and grateful to the Commission. Commissioner Lewellen spoke of the evaluation form provided and noted she has not completed it yet but would like to submit it. Linda Gonzalez, Director of Human Resources, said the evaluation could be submitted, although it is not required. Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 11 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, March 23, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. Vice -Mayor Salvino motioned to approve the second amendment to the City Manager's employment contract; seconded by Commissioner Davis.

She also attended the FBC-LEO Conference in Orlando, where community initiatives were discussed with elected officials on revitalizing neighborhoods with non -profits. She thanked Public Services for expeditiously removing graffiti on a City logo sign on the way to the beach. 11.2 Commissioner Lewellen Commissioner Lewellen thanked the City Manager for all her hard work. Commissioner Lewellen noted the Memorial Tree Program is to start during Earth Day week. City Manager Garcia said we will make a presentation at the first meeting in April. Commissioner Lewellen noted a lot of residents do not watch the meetings and do not know what is going on with the Dania Beach Grill behind the scenes, so she would like an update on the website landing page with recent information on the Grill. She asked for a timeline history of events on this project to be presented by the City Manager regarding what has happened over the past few years. City Manager Garcia said she discussed this with Mayor James yesterday. We have not let up and she would like to dispel rumors residents may have heard. There has never been any discussion about high rises or skyscrapers on our beach campus. What has been discussed is dining, food concessions, and cultural components, all aligned with the Master Plan. We have an ongoing assessment of the Master Plan related to the parking garage cost; there has been dialogue with FAU and FDOT, and a multitude of meetings held. We have also been working with the Colliers Group, a team of experts in commercial realty, as we are putting together a Request for Proposals not just for the grill, but there is also an additional restaurant as part of the Master plan. There is a lot going on with the intracoastal waterways as well, yet we are still on Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 12 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, March 23, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. target with our May RFP and are also looking globally at the Master Plan. She noted despite Covid, we have not stopped the discussions. 11.3 Commissioner Odman Commissioner Odman wanted to make sure it is okay with the Commission for her to set up a meeting with 1000 Mermaids to coordinate kick-off events. Mayor James noted she received the email, but she is okay with Commissioner Odman working with coordinating the meetings as long as they can attend the event. The Commission consensus was for Commissioner Odman to meet with 1000 Mermaids staff to schedule kick-off events. 11.4 Vice -Mayor Salvino Vice -Mayor Salvino thanked City Manager Garcia for all of her hard work; she is exceptionally supportive and works tirelessly. Vice -Mayor Salvino noted he is working with the City Manager concerning the parking garage and calming devices to supplement certain financial things not available in the general budget. 11.5 Mayor James Mayor James said she was pleased the City Manager spoke about the Dania Beach Grill. She noted things do not happen as quickly sometimes as we want them to happen as there are other agencies involved. She asked the public to attend the meetings so they are aware of what is going on. The Dania Beach Grill is a challenge, but she would never support a high-rise building, and we have discussed a multi -story restaurant with a Dania Beach Grill vibe on a different scale. She is always available to speak to residents via the telephone or email. Mayor James noted she attended the FBC-LEO Conference along with Commissioner Davis. She spoke of her contact, Commissioner Regina Hill, and her wealth of knowledge and wisdom about different projects and initiatives that will be beneficial to the City. She will provide her contact information to City Manager Garcia and CRA Director Chen. Mayor James wanted Finance Director DiPaolo to be as specific as possible when discussing the breakdown of disbursements from funding from the relief bill. Mayor James noted she also attended the Oasis Point ground -breaking ceremony hosted by Asi Cymbal and has had conversations with him regarding a job fair for residents. She thanked Brian Andrews for the iLove Local videos and felt we should put this in the budget annually to be done perhaps every six months as we have local businesses that people are not aware of. This can be an investment to market our City and support our economy.
