Presentations and Special Event Approvals 4.1 Super Boat International Productions, Inc. —John Carbonell (Commissioner Chunn) John Carbonell, President of Super Boat International Productions, Inc., presented a video of last year's Super Boat Races. He advised they have obtained a license with APBA-UIM, which will increase the number of boats in the races. They will have twelve races this year, and they will be part of the Air and Sea Show in Ft. Lauderdale. He noted they will stage out of Dania Beach which should bring in twice as much revenue and people than last year. He indicated they anticipate two million people will attend the event in Ft. Lauderdale this year. He advised they have made arrangements with the same vendors as last year in Dania Beach for both races. He noted it is hard to determine how much money will be brought into the City from these races; most Cities determine the amount from Tourist Development taxes. He commented this year the event will be better advertised and planned. They are looking for $50,000 from the City for this year's event; this would be for the national television exposure. The total cost of the event is $231,000. He noted this exposure would help bring tourists to the City. He indicated they would create a commercial for the City, which can be shot at any time, to help promote the community. He noted this would be part of the $50,000 cost. The Air and Sea Show in Ft. Lauderdale will be in May and they have made arrangements for their production crew to stay at the Marriott Courtyard in Dania Beach. City Manager Pato advised he met with Mr. Carbonell and asked for time to develop co- sponsorships with businesses in the community. He noted he is very supportive of the event and has already committed to the public safety issues. He remarked he needs a week to ten days to work on the partnerships. Commissioner Anton motioned to defer the approval of the Super Boat Race until March 9, 2005; seconded by Vice-Mayor Mikes. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Anton Yes Vice-Mayor Mikes Yes Commissioner Chunn Yes Mayor McElyea Yes Commissioner Flury Yes 4.2 15th Annual Airboat Show and Festival on March 19-20, 2005 at Bass Pro Shops Sportsman Park Mark Cruz, Broward County Airboat & Halftrack Conservation Club, 4251 SW 22nd Street, advised this is the 17`h or 18th Annual event. The event has been at Bass Pro Shops since 1999. He noted the Sheriff and Fire Departments have been secured for the event. Vice-Mayor Mikes motioned to approve the Annual Airboat Show and Festival on March 19-20, 2005; seconded by Commissioner Chunn. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Anton Yes Vice-Mayor Mikes Yes Commissioner Chunn Yes Mayor McElyea Yes Commissioner Flury Yes 5. Proclamations 5.1 American Cancer Society Proclamation for Colon Cancer Awareness Month - Patricia Rahmankhah, Community Representative There was no representative from the American Cancer Society present for the proclamation. 6. Citizen Comments John Knox, Dania Jai-Alai, advised they are entering the public advertising phase of the Slots campaign. He remarked the Supervisor of Elections is suggesting it will be a 15-18% turnout. He noted the public information phase began today on radio and television, and the opposition to Minutes of Regular Meeting 2 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, February 22, 2005—7:00 p.m. the "Yes for Better Schools and Jobs" is getting most of the headlines, primarily in Broward County. He noted in November, the Florida Constitution was amended to allow slot machines at the seven existing pari-mutuel facilities in South Florida. The money for education is estimated at $500M statewide, of which $110M should come back to Miami-Dade County ($65M) and Broward County ($46M). He remarked the Hard Rock hurt the industry when it opened for business. He commented it would be nice to see traffic and people stop in Dania Beach again. He advised the City of Hollywood is opposing the Slot Referendum because they are not receiving any revenue from the pari-mutuel facilities. He noted that Dania Jai Alai does not look to other cities for assistance for Mutual Aid. He noted the industry does not want to burden the affected cities with the additional cost associated with the industry. He remarked we need to educate the public; this is a positive thing for Dania Beach, Dania Jai Alai, South Florida and the State of Florida. Vice-Mayor Mikes remarked it makes sense to start at existing facilities that were impacted by the non-tax paying facilities. He commented the City of Hollywood is looking out for the interests of the facilities that are located in their city, the Hard Rock and Sun Cruise Casino. He believes the City of Hollywood is facing a tax crisis because of their CRA operations. Donna Speer, 4225 SW 74 Avenue, Davie, advised she owns property at 35 SW 5th Street in Dania Beach. She moved out of the Dania Beach residence in May and had the water turned off and the billing changed. She noted in December she received a water bill for $786.66 for an unoccupied building. She noted she spoke with the Finance Director and City Manager. She • thinks a mistake was made and this is an incredible hardship for her. She asked the Commission for assistance. Commissioner Chunn commented there have been a number of people that have complained to the Commission about similar problems. He noted we need to look into it because some of these people are very credible. He does not know how we will address it, but something is wrong. City Manager Pato advised the meter has been checked twice and we have been unable to find anything wrong. He indicated there had been reports that people had tapped into the outside faucet. He remarked Ms. Speer denied this by saying there was no outside faucet, however, City work crews did find some. He indicated we followed our regular procedure to check the meter. He noted he does not have the power to waive the charge, therefore he told her to come to the Commission. Commissioner Flury motioned to adjust Ms. Speer's bill to the average amount for the previous eleven months; seconded by Commissioner Chunn. Commissioner Anton questioned how water could flow through a meter that was turned off. Patricia Varney, Finance Director, clarified the water was not turned off. She indicated Ms. Speer requested a change of address on May 4`', however, there was no signed request to turn off the water. The water was not turned off. She noted that City crews investigated the incident before being contacted by Ms. Speer because of the high reading. She noted the meter had been calibrated. Minutes of Regular Meeting 3 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,February 22,2005—7:00 p.m. • The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Anton Yes Vice-Mayor Mikes Yes Commissioner Chunn Yes Mayor McElyea Yes Commissioner Flury Yes Debra Hixon, 803 N Golf Drive, Hollywood, advised she is the Assistant Magnet Coordinator at South Broward High School. She commented the School trains students in Marine Science and have an extensive Marine Technology Program. They have Summer Programs that allow students to become entrenched in the Marine Industry and encourae them to seek employment in this industry. They will be having a benefit dinner on March 1 It at IGFA, and she asked for support by allowing her to distribute fliers to the people in the audience. She noted that Kathy Dibona suggested she contact the Commission. Jay Field, Chairperson of the Dania Beach Human Relations Board, remarked the Board voted to send a letter to Dr. Brenda Snipes, Supervisor of Elections. Their first concern is the voting machine does not list the candidates you voted for. The second issue is for better signage for Precinct 7S. The third issue is to rotate the pollworkers because there is too much familiarity and voters are not asked for identification. Kurt Ely, SW Dania, spoke about the Bond issue. He remarked the Commission has worked hard with the annexed areas to make one Dania Beach. He commented that some Bond issues represent specific areas, not the entire City, such as the Fire Station and upgrade of the Water Plant. He commented we need to educate people that these issues affect the overall quality of the City. Fernando Vazquez, Public Services Director, clarified the water and sewer improvements are not included in the Bond Referendum; they are based on SRF funding. The referendum addresses the facilities that are needed to sustain the water and sewer improvements. He confirmed that west of 1-95 does not receive City water service. He noted we need to provide security for our water treatment plant. He noted there is a garage located next to the clear well; we have a diesel tank 30' away from our clear well; this is not environmentally sound and we could eventually be cited by the EPA. Vice-Mayor Mikes remarked the Bond issues were rushed at the last minute and not well thought out. He personally will not vote for the Bond referendums. City Manager Pato advised if all Bond referendums are approved, the approximate impact would be $62 per year for a home assessed at $150,000. He indicated the average home in Dania Beach is considerably lower, so the cost should be lower for most residents. The charge will be a separate line item on the tax bill; it will not be included in the ad valorem tax. Faye Bartelmes, 214 SW 2nd Terrace, remarked she would like something done to slow down traffic on SW 2nd Avenue; however, she does not want speed bumps. Minutes of Regular Meeting 4 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, February 22,2005—7:00 p.m. • George Jason, 4549 SW 371h Avenue, spoke on behalf of Dania Beach Neighborhoods United. He remarked he voted today and the voting machine does not tell you who you voted for. He commented that Dania Beach has a three page ballot with important issues. He is in favor of approving the Slot Referendum. He noted that Neighborhoods United was formed to try to get the City to unite and come together. He has heard comments that are tearing the City apart over the Bond Referendum issues. He remarked the people need to realize it is not separate actions that should be taken; it should be the entire City because Dania Beach is an entire City and everybody that lives here should share the improvements going on in Dania Beach. He indicated promises were made to the annexed areas for fire protection; City Hall needs major renovations and improvements; and parking facilities are needed. He feels the six Bond items should be a package, not separate items. 7.

City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Resolution. Vice-Mayor Mikes asked the City Manager to explain why we needed an outside consultant. • City Manager Pato asked Mary McDonald, Director of Human Resources and Risk Management, to explain the issue to the Commission. Ms. McDonald advised several workshops have been held during the past year to talk about the health plan. The General Employees Union is open to a re-opener as part of the contract negotiations which puts us in a position to be able to look forbids. She noted the problem we face is our plan design is so unusual and the benefits we offer are outdated that no provider will bid on it. She advised the consultant is an expert and has worked with other cities trying to make the same change. She noted we are not looking to change the benefits provided to the employees; we are looking to provide a comprehensive cost efficient plan. She indicated we need to insure that we are analyzing everything correctly and getting the results we want so that, hopefully, we will have more than a one or two year contract with the health provider. Vice-Mayor Mikes remarked some employees are concerned that this is a step in removing the one benefit they all rely on. He remarked we have employees who work five days a week and others that work eight days a month with other full-time employment; this is something we need to look at. He remarked the people who are working five days are not getting the compensation level other groups in our City have, and he thinks it should be progressive. He does not think the medical coverage for someone who is doing the physical labor around the City, and not getting the high pay, should pay an extremely large percentage of their income just to cover their basic health benefits. He indicated we have other people working eight days a month, visiting Europe in the summer, and driving around in Cadillacs and Mercedes. He hopes we never cut benefits on the working people that maintain the streets, highways and everything else in the City because Minutes of Regular Meeting 7 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, February 22,2005—7:00 p.m. • we have other people that have gotten so expensive in this City that we had to take basic benefits away from other people. He suggested a progressive system where you do not take more than a certain percentage of someone's income for that basic benefit, so that someone making a higher salary pays more than someone making a lower salary. Vice-Mayor Mikes motioned to approve Resolution #2005-037; seconded by Commissioner Chunn. Commissioner Flury commented the current plan is terrible, and must have been written by in- house staff. She noted it does not have to do with the employees' health care; it is how we deal with the providers. She remarked there has never been any management of the health care plan in this organization. She stated there is no intent to adversely affect any employee's health care; the intent is to provide them with more health care opportunities. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll call vote: Commissioner Anton Yes Vice-Mayor Mikes Yes Commissioner Chunn Yes Mayor McElyea Yes Commissioner Flury Yes Addendum 7.9 RESOLUTION#2005- • A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, REQUESTING THAT THE BROWARD COUNTY PLANNING COUNCIL DEFER APPROVAL OF THE CITY OF HOLLYWOOD APPLICATION FOR A REGIONAL ACTIVITY CENTER AMENDMENT, PC 05-1 and PCT 05-1,TO ALLOW FOR FURTHER STUDY OF THE IMPACTS OF SUCH AMENDMENT ON NEIGHBORING CITIES; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Resolution. Vice-Mayor Mikes requested this item. He noted this amendment will amount to several thousand more buildable units in the City of Hollywood. He noted we have a problem with some of the Regional Facilities that may impact the City of Dania Beach. He suggested we ask the Planning Council to look at the study and the infrastructure to help us determine the impacts on the City of Dania Beach. He indicated it is also controversial within the City of Hollywood. Commissioner Flury motioned to approve the Resolution requesting Broward County Planning Council to defer approval of the City of Hollywood Application for a Regional Activity Center Amendment; seconded by Vice-Mayor Mikes. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Anton Yes Vice-Mayor Mikes Yes Commissioner Chunn Yes Mayor McElyea Yes Commissioner Flury Yes Minutes of Regular Meeting 8 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, February 22,2005—7:00 p.m. 7.10 RESOLUTION #2005-038 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, OPPOSING SENATE BILL 1192 AND HOUSE BILL 0651 PERTAINING TO PROPOSED STATE LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD EXEMPT MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES WITH A RESIDENTIAL SERVICE ADDRESS FROM THE FLORIDA COMMUNICATIONS TAX; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Corinne Church, City Planner, advised this text amendment would correct a 2002 amendment that permitted hotels and motels to have a 100 room minimum; however, the intent was to have the 100 room minimum be permitted as a Special Exception. We will continue to require the 100 room minimum, but we will require it to be a Special Exception. The second item addressed is noise impacts for certain commercial activities that are located within the same building as residential uses. These uses would include restaurants, bars with live entertainment, athletic clubs and music schools. We are requesting these be permitted as Special Exception if shared with residential units.

He noted that early voting is available at the Hollywood Satellite office. 10.2 Commissioner Chunn Commissioner Chunn commented what he meant earlier when he said he did not care was that he will not compromise his standards for doing the right thing. He commented he does his best to do community service work and wanted to recognize some people who came to Dania Beach today to paint the house of a lady that was cited. He also commended Mimi Donley for helping the woman. He complimented the Mayor for his years of helping people in the community. He thanked God for being kind to him and blessing him. 10.3 Commissioner Flury Commissioner Flury reminded everyone to vote on March gcn 10.4 Vice-Mayor Mikes Vice-Mayor Mikes remarked he has been here for 16 years and he would like to see the City go in the right direction. He commented there have been a number of interesting candidates, including some challengers with some pretty good qualifications. He thinks a lot will happen to the City in the next few years, and he is concerned about the CRA. He noted he has worked hard to get more ownership in the City and less rentals. He commented a problem is that anybody in political office gets offered opportunities. He noted he is always looking for integrity because there are too many conflicts of interests because the job does not pay that much, yet the Commission controls so much money. He indicated he raised the pay for Commissioners and cut the amount of campaign contributions. He remarked you need Commissioners up here as independent as possible; they not only affect the millions of dollars, but also your basic safety. He remarked he has been here for 16 years and he has never taken a dollar from anybody, and does not own any more real estate than what he did when he took the job. He noted this was very unusual. He remarked the best situation is to try to find somebody who is independent of current business interests in the City and most particularly, real estate because commercial real estate is where the money is. He suggested the voters not elect someone who will develop a Minutes of Regular Meeting 10 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, February 22,2005—7:00 p.m. ® clique on the Commission by forming a three person vote. He urged for more voter turnout on March Bch 10.5 Mayor McElyea Mayor McElyea remarked there are seven streetlights that our out between Dockers and Beach Boulevard.

He commented that he has yet to see anyone do what Rose Belcher did by putting her life on the line. Commissioner Flury thought the City Clerk should advise the Commission one month before nominations are due. She does not think nominations should be made on the spur of the moment. Vice-Mayor Mikes responded his intent was for the Commissioners to think about nominations. Mayor McElyea withdrew his nomination. Commissioner Flury indicated seated Commissioners should not be nominated. 12. Appointments There were no appointments at this meeting. 13.
