Special Request
4.3 At this time, Mayor McElyea announced that the Fire Chief had requested to make a brief
report on hurricane shelters and the recent hurricanes that hit South Florida.
Kenneth Land, Fire Chief, explained he attended the "Neighborhood United Civic Association"
meeting recently and they talked about hurricane shelters and why Dania Beach did not have
any. He reported that other cities, like Hollywood, used their state representatives to back them
to secure a school for hurricane shelter use. Chief Land explained that it was Broward County
Red Cross who made the final decision on which buildings would be used as shelters and
explained the criteria that had to be met by a shelter location. He reported that people at the
meeting had assumed that any large building could be used as a shelter, but they did not
understand the expense involved in securing a building, nor the need for the Red Cross to staff
such buildings with volunteers. He indicated that several letters had been prepared, with the
assistance of the City Attorney, and had been sent to the various Emergency Directors, Red
• Cross, and School Board personnel requesting consideration of providing a shelter in Dania

Beach. He further mentioned there were 30,000 spaces to accommodate people within Broward
County shelters. He suggested during a hurricane threat, people in need should call 954-831-
4000, watch TV, or call the City Hall main number, 954-924-3600, for information. Chief Land
also commented on the shuttle buses available to take residents from different areas in the City to
the shelters. Chief Land will be submitting a detailed report to the City Manager that will be
presented at civic association meetings. He added that in two to three years Hollywood was
expected to get a new shelter in the Lincoln Park area, which was closer to Dania Beach.
Vice-Mayor Mikes commented that Hollywood was going in the right direction to get state
representation. He thought Representative Tim Ryan and Senator Geller should be approached
to assist in obtaining state funding for the City to get a shelter.
Chief Land agreed.
5. Proclamations
There were no proclamations for this meeting.
6. Citizen Comment
Scott Stewart, SW 54"' Court, talked about the Hard Rock Cafe & Casino traffic issues that
• plagued his street. He reported that he lived on that street for 25 years and noted the drastic
increase in traffic and speeding since the opening of the casino. He thanked City staff for
listening to his concerns, but indicated that nothing had been done. He felt this very serious
situation was complicated by the fact that they did not have sidewalks. He suggested closing one
end of the street and making it a private community.
Commissioner Flury explained this subject had been brought up many times, discussed at length,
and felt it was inappropriate to continue to discuss what the City could not do. She requested a
report from Chief Cowart, BSO District 2.
Chief Cowart, Broward County Sheriffs Office, explained he and Public Services Director
Fernando Vazquez had a meeting scheduled with Dave Zeller, Broward County Department of
Traffic Engineering. He expressed that he expected full cooperation from them to avoid the
City's exploration of other alternatives such as closing the street. He noted that neither the City
nor County wanted to close the street unless there were no alternatives. He updated the
Commission on activity regarding traffic enforcement during the last two weeks and reported the
number of citations issued in the area.
Commissioner Flury questioned why closing the street was the last resort. She felt that if 75% of
the neighbors agreed, it should be done.
Chief Cowart hoped the situation could be handled in a less intrusive way than closing the street.
He felt Broward County would bring up good recommendations such as a four-way stop sign.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 3
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,October 12,2004—7:00 p.m.
Vice-Mayor Mikes addressed Commissioner Flury's question and explained that when traffic
• was interrupted by a street closure, it usually transferred the problem to other communities. He
also stated that he was willing to support street closures for the entire area, if necessary.
Mayor McElyea felt it was better to close the street than to install four-way stop signs.
Chief Cowart explained the City could take over the four-way stop issue by making an
agreement with the County to take over traffic issues. But he stressed the City would be
responsible for conducting analyses, putting up signs, liability issues, etc.
Commissioner Anton agreed with Vice-Mayor Mikes that closing one street would not solve the
problem; they had to have them all closed like they did in the Triangle area. He indicated he
would support street closures after all efforts had been exhausted and 75% of the neighborhood
agreed to it.
Chief Cowart identified three streets (54t" Court, 52na Court, and 51st Street) that were accessible
from both north and southbound traffic on State Road 7, and noted those streets needed to be
addressed first.
Commissioner Chunn stated that in the Liberia area there were some good street-calming devices
that looked nice and reduced the possibility of speeding.
Chief Cowart noted the lack of sidewalks in that area often put pedestrians in jeopardy. He
• agreed to keep Mr. Stewart informed as to the outcome of the situation.
City Manager Pato reminded all that an assessment and traffic study was scheduled for January
2005 as part of a CDBG grant.
Mr. Stewart thought that the traffic problems originated with the installation of the traffic light at
the end of their street and stressed the speeding problem.
City Manager Pato asked Chief Cowart to get Mr. Stewart's information and Staff would meet
with him on this issue. He thanked Mr. Stewart for his patience.

Tuesday, October 12, 2004—7:00 p.m.
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Resolution.
Vice-Mayor Mikes asked Fernando Vazquez to give more information on the purchase of the
generators.
Fernando Vazquez, Director of Public Services, explained that during the recent hurricanes there
was a major power outage in the City and 90% of the Lift Stations were out of power. He noted
that the City had one generator and was able to borrow one from Hollywood to avoid a system
back up. He stressed the necessity to get new generators to prepare for future events.
In response to Vice-Mayor Mikes' question, Director Vazquez indicated that they had selected a
generator quote from Tradewinds, Inc., for units with Perkins diesel engines.
Mayor McElyea felt that more details concerning an extended warranty needed to be presented.
City Manager Pato felt the matter should be dealt with quickly because of the current demand for
generators. He was concerned the opportunity might soon be lost if the decision was delayed.
Mayor McElyea confirmed a State Bid was not available.

Item 9.6 was heard before Item 9.1.
9.1 ORDINANCE #2004-031
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING
EXECUTION OF A LEASE AGREEMENT AND RELATED DOCUMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY AND
HARBOUR TOWNE ASSOCIATES, A CALIFORNIA GENERAL PARTNERSHIP PERTAINING TO
PROPERTY OWNED BY THE CITY AND COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE HARBOUR TOWNE MARINA
PROPERTY; AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE EXECUTION OF THE LEASE BY THE APPROPRIATE
CITY OFFICIALS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; FURTHER,
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (SECOND READING) (Tabled September 28, 2004)
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Ordinance.
Jon Chassen, Attorney representing Harbour Towne, explained he had worked closely with City
Attorney Ansbro, and outside counsel, to make adequate changes to the lease document and
solicited questions from the Commissioners.
Vice-Mayor Mikes requested clarification of some sections of the lease for the public's benefit.
City Attorney Ansbro explained the current lease expired in 2010 and the proposal extended the
• lease for an additional 30 years. He stated the current lease amount of $142,000 per year was
continued with CPI adjustments every five years for additional rental payments. He noted the
lease also included a percentage-rate increase beginning at five and one-half percent and
gradually increased to eight percent by 2010. He further explained that in addition to a
conceptual approval as a landlord, the Commission reserved the right to deny any new
improvements; but stressed that it did not affect repairs or replacement of existing improvements.
He noted the agreement gave the City priority use of the boat slips and noted that repair of four
boat ramps would be immediately conducted and maintained by Harbour Towne to the
satisfaction of the Florida Boating Improvement Program and the Broward County Boating
Improvement Program. He was particularly pleased with the critical component in the lease that
designated ownership of all property improvements to the City of Dania Beach. He noted the
Commission's concern regarding the use of boat/trailer parking had been resolved and noted that
any failure to accurately disclose gross revenues resulted in the immediate termination of the
lease.
Attorney Chassen stated funds were available in a trust account to cover the $125,000 initial
payment and all original documents had been signed by his client and the lender.
Mayor McElyea opened the Public Hearing. Hearing no one speak in favor or opposition, Mayor
McElyea closed the Public Hearing.
Vice-Mayor Mikes felt that since this was one of the most valuable pieces of property owned by
• the City, some of the language in the document needed to be reviewed. He asked the City
Minutes of Regular Meeting 9
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, October 12,2004—7:00 p.m.
Attorney to confirm that the document assured the City had total control. He wondered whether
• or not the language on page one of the lease, section six (a) under Construction By Tenant and
wondered if the statement, "Disapproval may be based on the Tenant's failure to provide
sufficient information on the Conceptual Plans", was clear enough to avoid misinterpretation.
City Attorney Ansbro assured Vice-Mayor Mikes that it could not be misinterpreted since the
previous statement in the paragraph, "Conceptual Approval may be granted or withheld by
Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion," was the controlling language.
Attorney Chassen confirmed for Vice-Mayor Mikes that it was very clear.
Vice-Mayor Mikes then questioned the portion on page two (section six (a), paragraph three)
which read "No material changes (other than Permitted Changes) to the Approved Conceptual
Plans shall be made to any Approved Conceptual Plans, without the prior written approval of the
Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (Italics added)
Attorney Chassen explained this statement allowed the tenant to address only minor changes to a
plan that had been approved.
Vice-Mayor Mikes pointed out it did not say "minor" changes; it addressed "material" changes
and he was concerned that it could be misinterpreted.
City Attorney Ansbro and Attorney Chassen agreed the wording would be changed. (Secretary's
note: specific wording was listed later in discussion of page 15 and is marked with a double
asterisk.)
Vice-Mayor Mikes questioned if all of the attorneys were comfortable with the language in the
document concerning sub-leases and borrowing on the leasehold of City property.
City Attorney Ansbro agreed that this was a unique situation because no more capital
improvements were planned from the City's perspective. He also commented that as far as the
mortgage of their adjacent property was concerned, it would spread to the City's property, as was
stated in the previous agreement. He explained if the tenant defaulted on the mortgage, the
Lender was required to pay the rent, operate the premises, and obtain a replacement for the
tenant.
Attorney Chassen clarified for Vice-Mayor Mikes that according to the lease agreement, they
were required to advise the City of the terms of the mortgage and stated it was also a matter of
public record.
Vice-Mayor Mikes then had question about page six of the restated lease agreement,
RECITALS, section one, DEFINITIONS, (y) "New Additional Improvements" shall mean any
new additional Improvements to the premises constructed by Tenant after the Effective Date
which are of a different character and type than the Existing Improvements, other than (i) any
repairs, replacements, renewals, alterations or additions . . . (italics added). He felt the word
• additions should not have been included in this paragraph.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 10
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, October 12,2004—7:00 p.m.
• Attorney Chassen agreed to delete the words "or additions" from that paragraph (section one (y),
page 6, second.paragraph).
Vice-Mayor Mikes referred next to page 14, SECTION 6 (a), Construction by Tenant, and
wondered whether or not Conceptual Approval could be handled within the 30 days allowed in
the document.
City Attorney Ansbro explained that "conceptual approval" had nothing to do with set-backs,
height, or any dimensional-type issues. He stated it only had to do with the Landlord's approval
of the idea and was totally separate from City approvals. He stressed the process for site plans,
variances, special exceptions, etc., would be the same as for anyone else.
Vice-Mayor Mikes wanted a public hearing requirement added to the last paragraph of that same
section (page 15, last sentence, paragraph one) and suggested it be worded as follows: `Once any
Conceptual Plans receive Conceptual Approval by City Commission after Public Hearing, such
Conceptual Plans shall be deemed "Approved Conceptual Plans".'(Suggestion to original in
italics)
Vice-Mayor Mikes suggested changes to the third paragraph on page 15.
Attorney Chassen suggested it be worded as follows. No material changes (other than Permitted
Changes) to the Approved Conceptual Plans shall be made to any Approved Conceptual Plans,
• without the prior written approval of the Landlord, which approval may be withheld by the City
in its sole discretion in connection with new additional improvements, but otherwise will not be
unreasonably delayed. (Italics added)
Vice-Mayor Mikes, with City Attorney Ansbro's approval, suggested one additional change (as
previously discussed) to replace "No material changes" with"Only minor changes".
Attorney Chassen and City Attorney Ansbro agreed to reword it as follows: "Only minor
changes (as interpreted by the City) (other than Permitted Changes) to the Approved Conceptual
Plans may be made to any Approved Conceptual Plans, without the prior written approval of the
Landlord, which approval may be withheld by the City in its sole discretion in connection with
new additional improvements, but otherwise will not be unreasonably delayed. (Changes in
italics, p. 15,paragraph 3)
City Attorney Ansbro clarified for Community Development Director Laurence Leeds and Vice-
Mayor Mikes that this provision was for ANY improvement.
City Attorney Ansbro reiterated for Vice-Mayor Mikes that this was the exact same provision he
pointed out on page two.
In response to Vice-Mayor Mikes' query, Director Leeds stated he would like to see 50 to 100
parking spaces provided for the 180-seat I.T. Parker facility.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 11
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,October 12,2004—7:00 p.m.
Kristen Jones, Director of Parks and Recreation, felt 75 parking spaces would be sufficient.
Attorney y Chassen stated the had a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) that specifically
Y
stated 50 spaces.
City Attorney Ansbro stressed that in the past 25 years there had never been a problem with the
50-space allocation because the Marina and I.T. Parker had different hours for parking lot use.
Vice-Mayor Mikes suggested inserting a statement that the Landlord's position of the lease was
to maintain the use of the facility as it had been concerning parking, use, etc.
Attorney Chassen felt it had been provided for in section five where it listed the permitted uses.
The attorneys agreed to add a provision that Tenant would agree to accommodate the City in its
request for parking, if and whenever needed, as had been the history of the use of the property.
City Attorney Ansbro specified the spaces should be as close to the Civic Center as they could
reasonably make them available.
Commissioner Anton assured the public there were no liens on any City property and this
agreement simply guaranteed the City's revenue source in the event something happened with
the leaseholder.
City Attorney Ansbro reiterated there was no chance the City would lose property through
foreclosure.
Attorney Elaine M. Cohen, Weiss, Scrota, Helfman, Pastoriza, Guedes, Cole & Boniske P.A.,
stated the lien holder had the right to come in and continue the operations after foreclosure, but it
was not a guarantee. She noted if he did not, the City would take back the property.
Commissioner Anton clarified that if the lien-holder did take over operations, then they had to
abide by the terms of this agreement.
Commissioner Flury stated she was comfortable with the lease as long as the City had absolute
right to oppose additions. She was particularly concerned about construction along the canal
area.
Vice-Mayor Mikes requested the City Attorney look at page 47, (g) Negotiated Lease. to see if
language concerning the intent of the Landlord to maintain the historic usage characteristics of
this property should be added.
City Attorney Ansbro assured Vice-Mayor Mikes they would find a place to put it that made the
most sense.
City Attorney Ansbro indicated a 4/5 vote was required under City Charter.
Attorney Cohen explained that approval needed to be made by October 22, 2004.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 12
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, October 12,2004—7:00 p.m.

Minutes of Regular Meeting 13
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, October 12,2004—7:00 p.m.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, explained his staff report asked for the
item to be continued, but the application had been corrected and was ready to proceed. Director
Leeds stated this site was approximately 6.8 acres and was located on the north side of Stirling
Road, west of SW 35th Avenue and east of a Temple. He noted that while this entire property
was located within Dania Beach, the abutting properties were all located in the City of
Hollywood. He reminded all that the Commission had previously endorsed County purchase of
this property for a park and, according to the owner, had been unsuccessful in acquiring the site.
He indicated the applicant wished to construct 31 single-family homes, which would be about
four and one-half units per acre. He stated the Comprehensive Plan allowed up to five units per
acre, subject to City approvals, which would take four to six months. He showed that the site
met the open space area dedication. Director Leeds stated Staff recommended approval on
second reading and reported the plat still needs to come back to the Commission for site plan
approval. He understood they desired to have a County Park at that location, but reiterated since
the County and owner could not come to terms, it would not happen.

offered to answer any questions.

Minutes of Regular Meeting 15
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, October 12,2004—7:00 p.m.
® AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) PURSUANT TO SECTION
163.3191, FLORIDA STATUTES; PROVIDING FOR TRANSMITTAL TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
COMMUNITY AFFAIRS FOR ITS SUFFICIENCY DETERMINATION; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (FIRST
READING)
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of the Ordinance.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, defined the Evaluation and Appraisal
Report as a State requirement to evaluate the community's Comprehensive Plan every five years
and submit a summary of the successes/shortcomings of that Plan to the State. He noted the City
of Dania Beach's evaluation was done in 1999 and was now due again. He noted the report also
identified major city-wide planning issues, which would be addressed in the next five years. He
stated with that information, the State determined whether or not the City was in compliance
with State mandates. He cautioned if the State made a finding of non-compliance, they could
prohibit a city from amending its Future Land Use Plan or lose State funds. Director Leeds felt
the concept of the Comprehensive Plan could better be described as a strategic policy plan with
goals, objectives, and policies that articulated the City Commission's visions. He noted in some
cases the EAR recommendations required funding; however, adhering to the process did not
guarantee a funding source. He stressed it was the first step in identifying needed public
improvements and was often a prerequisite to requesting State and Federal Grants. Director
Leeds explained the City could add policies calling for things, such as a library or park, but these
® policies became unfunded unless the City identified funding sources or acknowledged that
construction was subject to availability of funds. Director Leeds noted the following major EAR
report issues: neighborhood protection from airport expansion, neighborhood improvement and
redevelopment, Downtown/CRA redevelopment, bike paths/lanes, Dania Beach Boulevard/US 1,
beach re-nourishment, support of marine related uses, and establishment of additional
community facilities.
Vice-Mayor Mikes asked about 5"' Avenue Linear Park.
Director Leeds felt it was important to have a library and post office in the western area of the
City. He explained if the Commission approved the EAR tonight, Staff would submit it to the
State and regional planning agencies for review and negotiations before being finally approved
by the Commission. He stressed it needed to be finalized by March 2005 in order to avoid
sanctions. He explained that once approved, changes could be made to the Comprehensive Plan.
Director Leeds commended Corinne Church, Principal Planner, for preparing the report and
clarified that although the City was using a Consultant, most of the work was being done in-
house saving the City $30,000450,000.
Mayor McElyea opened the Public Hearing. Hearing no one to speak in favor or opposition,
Mayor McElyea closed the Public Hearing.

airport jet center expansion from 44 acres to 60 acres. He felt it would increase air
traffic, although they claimed it would not. He stated he had sent a copy of the article
to Special Attorneys White & Case in case the City needed to take any action.
He also advised he had met with Lynn Shatas from Florida Power & Light regarding storm-
related problems and noted fuses had caused some of the outages. He reported he asked her to
critique the situation and perhaps recommend a better way to handle these situations in the
future. He noted she was very cooperative. He further commented on hanging trees and noted
they would have Fernando Vazquez, Director of Public Services, notified as to when they would
work in the area. He felt the City needed to identify situations that required FPL's assistance.
He addressed the issue of buried power lines, but noted with flooding, tree roots, etc., it might
create a worse problem.

Continuing Engineering Services (Fernando Vazquez)
Fernando Vazquez, Director of Public Services, explained this was the second component for the

successful completion of the program within five years, they needed to conduct a consultant
selection to engage the services of a program manager. He indicated they had selected three
companies after an extensive, technical review and noted the Technical Committee was
comprised of city staff and outside consultants. He reported the companies were rated and, at
this time, he was requesting permission from the Commission to negotiate with Camp Dresser
and McKee.
