Debt Service level Director Varney advised this is a total of$705,595 lower than the initial proposed budget. Mayor Flury opened the meeting to the public. Marcy Roban, 5019 Neptune Lane, noted that their property values have decreased 10% in the last eight months. She said the Harbour Isle Villas have discussed the CDD Assessment Tax and wondered what it was; then they realized there is a State Statute that says it should be in their contract stating there is a CDD Tax. Their developer did not include it in all the contracts. She questioned if the people who do not have it in their contracts could have the money returned to them. City Attorney Ansbro responded we have no control over the Community Development District, and they would have to contact the legal counsel for the district to challenge the omission. He noted the Trim Notice should note where to appeal. He stated he personally knows the lawyers and he will contact them to put the residents in touch with them. Carolyn Wickam, 2190 SW 471h Street, asked about consolidated City-wide zoning. Minutes of Public Hearing 5 Proposed FY 06/07 Budget Dania Beach City Commission Thursday, September 14,2006—7:00 p.m. City Attorney Ansbro responded the City currently has three zoning codes; this would be a comprehensive re-write of the three codes to develop one unified Code for the entire City. Leslie Brown, 153 NW 14`h Way, stated property values have increased 20%, and gas and insurance have gone up, and property taxes are through the roof. She is a landlord and her tenants will not be able to afford the rent. She stated the Commission has the right to change the budget. She said the Commission was alienating the community and there would be repercussions. Property is not selling and people cannot sell their homes. The Commission is spending more money than she has ever seen. Patty Arabon, Harbour Isles, stated they want relief; taxes are going up in Dania Beach and Broward County. She asked what the Commission could do to help them. She feels she is stuck where she lives because she cannot afford to go anyplace. Madeline Leaton, 2213 Clipper Place, Harbour Isles, stated their house values have gone down. They are a new development and they pay high tax dollars. She stated people are in dire straits and need help. She stated capital improvements should not be made because homeowners cannot afford to make improvements. She asked for help in this year's budget, not next year. George Jason, 4549 SW 371h Avenue, stated the Commission has a big responsibility, and this is a major issue throughout South Florida. He commented it is important to have sufficient personnel in Code Enforcement. He also discussed the CERT Program, and stated he advocates having a Training Officer so the citizens can volunteer and take over the responsibility so that critical personnel do not have to hand out ice and water during an emergency. We need a Training Captain to train staff and citizens; other cities have Captains as Training Officers. Joe Van Eron, 1500 SW 2"d Avenue, stated he has followed the budget process for four years and knows every program in the City. We have many challenges ahead of us, but the City has had many years of abuse and neglect. He does not like that his property increased $25,000 in taxes, but he wants the City to do the right thing for the City and the neighborhoods. The neighborhoods are just as important as rebuilding a City Center. He urged the Commission to fund for Neighborhood Redevelopment for the original neighborhoods. Marie Francois, 247 SW 81h Street, stated she just purchased her property and cannot afford the tax increase. She urged the Commission to consider the property owners. Mayor Flury closed the Public Hearing. Mayor Flury noted we are all taxpayers and suffer the same plight. She stated the Commission has control over the millage rate, but no control at what the Tax Assessor assesses property. She reminded the Commissioners that we need to get as close as possible to the actual millage rate tonight. She is very receptive to reducing the millage rate; the question is how much can we afford to reduce. She noted we held two budget workshops and eliminated some costs, but in order to take down the millage we need to get rid of something. She does not feel we need three additional Firefighters at this time and suggested eliminating these positions from the budget. Minutes of Public Hearing Proposed FY 06/07 Budget Dania Beach City Commission Thursday, September 14,2006—7:00 p.m. She stated one Code Officer is needed, two is questionable. If we eliminate the extra positions in the budget we can take the millage rate down. Vice-Mayor Anton commented that Homestead property that has the Save Our Homes Initiative can only go up 3% per year; so if taxes increased 20% the property owners need to appeal to the Property Appraiser. He noted the City has maintained the same millage rate for 4 years; we have built up a Reserve Fund that still needs to be increased; and our infrastructure needs to be replaced. We could be facing a decrease in the taxable value of our homes, and we need to be careful not to paint ourselves into a corner and not be able to fund necessary services next year. He supports the three additional Firefighters because he is interested in protecting our City and our quality of life. He stated he favors lowering the tax rate. Commissioner Bertino stated Dania Beach has the lowest per capita income in Broward County, and homes are assessed higher than $134,000. The poor people in Dania Beach are renters and do not have the money to own a home. He stated Dania Beach has more affordable housing than other cities in Broward County. Business properties are vacant and property owners will need to increase the rents. He is in favor of lowering the tax rate, and stated he does not think it is necessary to have $896,000 in Contingency. He thinks we need to cut back on surpluses and contingency; he noted we could cut .25 from the budget. He stated the City needs to provide safety and protection for the people. We need the three additional Firefighters, but we can cut $500,000 out of Contingency and drop our millage by .5 mills which would leave us with a 5.89 millage rate. Commissioner Castro commented she attended the Elected Municipal Officials training and learned about the regulations that Cities need to comply with. She thinks we can trim the budget, the question is how far. The City has a lot of capital improvements that are imperative to our infrastructure. She acknowledged that commercial property owners will receive the greatest increase in taxes, and realized that they would pass the increase on to the renters. She asked if the landlords would be willing to cut their rents to correspond with the cuts made by the City. She wanted to make a motion to move $100,000 from the proposed $705,595 budget cuts, to neighborhood development and reduce the millage rate with the remaining $605,595. Mayor Flury asked Commissioner Castro to let Commissioner McElyea speak before making the motion. Commissioner McElyea agreed not to cut the three additional Firefighters from the budget. He stated he would vote to trim the budget; and staff needs to work harder to cut the budget. He remarked that people cannot afford to live here, and will have to move elsewhere. He commented we could cut the Contingency Fund if needed, and commented on the low rental income from the Pier Restaurant. Mayor Flury remarked we have the best Fire Department in Broward County; however, we have mutual aid agreements and give more aid than we receive. She commented the $250,000 cost is nothing compared to the benefits, especially the 47%pension benefits in the Fire Department. It makes no sense to her to pay the equivalent of 5 Firefighters to provide more mutual aid. Minutes of Public Hearing 7 Proposed FY 06/07 Budget Dania Beach City Commission Thursday, September 14,2006—7:00 p.m. Commissioner Castro motioned to cut the budget by $705,595 and apply $100,000 of it to the Neighborhood Development Fund, and reduce the millage with the remaining $605,595, which would reduce the millage rate to 6.1746; seconded by Vice-Mayor Anton for discussion. Vice-Mayor Anton wants everyone to understand what we are talking about. If the millage rate were reduced to 6.0, it would be a savings of$52 a year for a home valued at $134,000. Commissioner Bertino commented many areas in the City have homes valued higher than $134,000. This year we need to take the whole $705,595 to decrease taxes, plus he will make another motion to cut another $500,000 from Contingency. He commented this year we need to make hard decisions and move forward. Commissioner Castro commented we have crime-ridden neighborhoods in the City, and some neighborhoods have no street lights. She stated it is important to set a precedent to set aside $100,000 for our neighborhoods. She has an issue with cutting Contingency because we live in a hurricane area, and it takes 24-36 months to be reimbursed by FEMA. Vice-Mayor Anton commented if HB 7249 is passed, taxes can only be raised 5% above the roll back rate. This means that if we cut the tax rate to 6 mills, we would be above the roll back rate next year and would not be able to raise taxes. He indicated if we are not careful, we may need to cut services and layoff people next year. Mayor Flury remarked she does not have a problem with 5% above the roll back rate. She commented it makes no sense to hire people in this budget if you will be laying them off next year. She stated you only need what you can afford. Commissioner Castro asked the City Manager for a report on the number of employees per number of citizens, by cities, and their budget dollars across Broward County for the next budget meeting. The motion was defeated on the following 2-3 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Bertino No Vice-Mayor Anton Yes Commissioner Castro Yes Mayor Flury No Commissioner McElyea No Commissioner Bertino motioned to take the $705,595 to decrease the millage rate; seconded by Commissioner Castro.

Commissioner Bertino motioned to cut $705,595 and earmark $100,000 to Neighborhood Development, plus cut an additional $300,000 from Contingency, bringing the millage rate to 6.0679; seconded by Commissioner McElyea. Vice-Mayor Anton questioned next year's millage rate requirement to make ends meet. Director Varney responded her best estimate is 6.17 mills next year. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Bertino Yes Vice-Mayor Anton Yes Commissioner Castro Yes Mayor Flury Yes Commissioner McElyea Yes Commissioner Bertino motioned to add the Training Officer as a Captain position in the Fire Department; seconded by Commissioner Castro.

Commissioner Bertino withdrew the motion. 4.

City Manager Pato questioned why we needed to wait until January to increase the rates. Mayor Flury suggested providing a 30 day notice. Mayor Flury commented the Commission is also approving the compensation plan with this budget. She stated the compensation plan should be voted on separately every year.
