process used to hire Ivan Pato as City Manager.

accordance with State Statute requirements at 1991 Stirling Road and that citizens are
being entrapped because they don't see the sign before cars are towed away.
Commissioner McElyea directed Mr. Miller to contact Broward County to remedy the
problem with Extreme Towing as the City does not enforce the law pertaining to towing
signs.
4.3 Sara Blanchard, 318 SW 14 Street, expressed opposition to the City's recent actions
to close streets at SW 4th Avenue and 2nd Avenue, thereby, preventing entry or exit onto

barricades be placed on the Hollywood side of Sheridan Street.
MINUTES REGULAR MEETING
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 1 OCTOBER 23, 2001
Mayor Flury explained that the residents need to attend homeowner association meetings to
state their opposition, as the road closing project is temporary at this time. Mayor Flury
pointed out that the City took action to close the streets based on input from residents in the
area. The program has just been implemented and time will tell whether the street closings
reduce drug dealing and speeding in the area.
4.5 Albert Jones, 722 SW 3 Street, on behalf of the College Gardens Association,
welcomed Mr. Pato as City Manager and expressed a desire to work with him on community
matters.
In addition, Mr. Jones expressed his dissatisfaction with the contractor for the 25th Year
CDBG program where he had torn up streets and swale areas in the southwest area before
the necessary equipment and supplies were available to finish the improvements. Mr. Jones
urged the City Commission and staff to take whatever actions necessary to resolve the
contractor problems. He suggested a need for more citizen input through a public hearing
process at the beginning of the CDBG grant programs and pointed out that the $68,000
Change Order presented at the October 9th meeting indicated a problem with the contractor.
5. PRESENTATIONS AND SPECIAL EVENT APPROVALS:
5.1 Presentation by Broward County Department of Planning and Environmental
Protection regarding proposed changes in the Broward County Transportation Concurrency
System.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained that Mr. Elliot Auerhahn, Broward
County Development Management Division, was directed by the Broward County
Commission to investigate a different way to handle concurrency. Concurrency is based on
the principal that land shall not be developed until sufficient infrastructure (such as, water,
sewer, schools, roads and parks) is provided to service said land. Traffic Concurrency has
continued to be a major issue for many years. Broward County designated the eastern
portion of the County, including Dania Beach, as an Urban Infill area. The designation of
Urban Infill exempts the City from Traffic Concurrency requirements. This is because there
is no practical or financial way of making the necessary changes to roads to solve the traffic
concurrency problems.
Elliot Auerhahn, Broward County Development Management Division, advised that the
Concurrency System began 12 years ago by state mandate action for every city and county
in Florida. The Concurrency System is not working in the western portion of the County
because some of the required improvements for development are not necessarily useful and
have been found to be very costly for everyone concerned. In the eastern part of the county,
cities were imposed with transit impact fees instead of road improvements. Broward County
may only use transit impact fees for capital items such as buying buses, which represents a
small portion of mass transit needs. The cost for mass transit involves mostly operational
costs. Mr. Auerhahn explained that Broward County is now looking at better transit as part of
their seven strategic goals. Broward County wants to take the next two-years to change
Concurrency so that the money generated would go towards transit needs instead of
roadway improvements. Each city is being asked to decide on whether they wish to go with
a transit system or continue with a roadway based system.
MINUTES REGULAR MEETING
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 2 OCTOBER 23, 2001
Commissioner Bertino expressed his opposition to the change in concurrency and was of
the opinion that western cities, which are developed to capacity, are now trying to get the
eastern cities to pay for their mass transit needs.
Mr. Auerhahn explained that it has been determined that the western system is not meeting
any priority needs and that Broward County's intention is to combine both systems so that
developers pay money into prioritized projects as a better way to utilize the revenues.
The City Commission generally agreed to discuss the matter at the second meeting in
November after Mr. Auerhohn obtains further input from other cities.
5.2 Presentation by the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau
regarding Parade of Airplanes scheduled November 7, 2001.
Kelly Portorello, Director of Marketing Services with the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention
and Visitors Bureau, explained that the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association (AOPA)
Convention was scheduled to be held at the Broward Convention Center November 8
through 10. A Parade of Planes would travel from Perimeter Road to Griffin Road and then
to Federal Highway and move north to 17th Street Causeway to get to the Convention
Center. Ms. Portorello advised that the Convention was expected to bring over $10 million in
economic impact to Broward County. The costs for Dania Beach to remove some Holly trees
from the median strip at Griffin Road and the FEC railroad tracks would be fully covered by
the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau. Ms. Portorello mentioned that
trees and landscaping would also be removed from US #1 to accommodate 12 King Air
aircraft with 58 feet wingspans.
Commissioner Mikes opposed the project and advised that several citizens had registered
an objection to the Parade of Planes event. Commissioner Mikes was dissatisfied that the
flyer announcing the event did not include advertising for Dania Beach and that the Visitors
Bureau should have included Dania Beach in the plans for the event prior to it being
scheduled.
The City Commission generally agreed that the event was wrong due to the removal of trees
and landscaping and was environmentally insensitive to the residents of Dania Beach.
A motion was made by Commissioner Bertino, seconded by Commissioner Mikes,
continuing the request to the November 13th meeting in order to provide an opportunity for
the City Attorney to determine if the City had any legal right to deny the request as part of
the landscaping agreement with Broward County. After further discussion, Commissioner
Bertino withdrew his motion.
Commissioner Mikes made an amended motion to adopt a resolution opposing the Parade
of Planes event scheduled by the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau
based on the lack of consideration for residents of Dania Beach, improper communication
and notification, disregard for the community and environment, and directing the city
attorney to review the policy and legality of the event. Vice-Mayor Chunn seconded the
motion.
The motion passed on the following 5/0 roll call vote:

5.3 City's award of"Certificates of Appreciation" to School Resource Officers.
Chief Anton, BSO, explained that the school resource officers are role models to the school
children and that the three officers being commended have gone above and beyond the call
of duty to help the children with family and crime oriented issues.
Vice-Mayor Chunn expressed appreciation to each of the officers for their dedication to the
youth in the community and presented Deputy Chip Brockman, Deputy Victor Thompson,
and Deputy Robert Martinez with Certificates of Appreciation.

ADDENDUM:

COMMISSION TO ENTER INTO AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WITH IVAN PATO AS CITY
MANAGER; PROVIDING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 13, 2001,
PERTAINING TO THE TERMS OF SUCH CONTRACT BEFORE IT IS EXECUTED;
PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Commissioner Mikes pointed out that a recent newspaper article stated that he supported a
contract for Ivan Pato from the October 18t`' meeting when he, in fact, did not support a
contract. He felt that a probationary period was needed before a contract should be offered
to City Manager Pato since he was not an experienced city manager. Commissioner Mikes
agreed to consider a contract after six months and was hopeful that City Manager Pato
would be able to do the job.
Commissioner Bertino mentioned that he was not pleased with the selection process used
by Dr. Hanbury as applicants were selected based on their memberships in the ICMA.
Commissioner Bertino mentioned that a city manager must have the ability to bring all of the
facets of government together and he was hopeful that City Manager Pato's local
experience would be beneficial to him on the job. He pointed out that the contract would only
provide a 3 month severance package for the city manager, which was only the decent thing
to do in the event the Commission wanted to change city managers.
City Attorney Ansbro explained that a public hearing would be scheduled for November 13
and that the contract would be provided at that time.
A motion was made by Commissioner Bertino, seconded by Commissioner McElyea,
adopting the resolution. The motion passed on the following 4/1 roll call vote:

CITY OF DANIA BEACH 8 OCTOBER 23, 2001
City Attorney Ansbro clarified for the City Commission that the City was not obligated to sign
a lease with PCS Sprint, however, he advised that findings supporting the denial would have
to be presented.
Commissioner Bertino mentioned that the City had plans in the future to develop a
governmental campus and that space on City Hall property was needed. He recommended
installing the antenna on the roof of the Fire Station as a solution and thought the roof could
support the antenna equipment as long as it was designed correctly.
Mr.Adare-requested that the City Commission approve the form of lease tonight and allow
Sprint to bring back a site plan for the Fire Station property that would show a proposal for
the equipment to be placed on the ground or on the roof.
City Attorney Ansbro recommended that the Ordinance be denied tonight since the matter
had been continued so many times and so that he could obtain title work on the Fire Station
property in order to rule out title restrictions.
Mayor Flury opened the public hearing.
Pat Sullivan, 529 NW 7 Street, advised that he was the owner of the AT&T antenna located
one block from City Hall and suggested that Sprint pursue a co-location on his AT&T site.
Attorney Adare advised that structurally the AT&T tower would not be able to support their
antenna based on an engineering report that was conducted in August nor would it meet
their height requirements. Mark Bausch clarified that a residential structure existed next door
® and that the site would not meet the 250 foot distance required in the City's code.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Flury closed the public hearing.

Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, advised that the proposal was for a mixed-
use project with a modern architecture for the building. Mr. Leeds explained that Main Street
members attended the Planning & Zoning Advisory Board meeting and had recommended a
more traditional architecture. Mr. Leeds indicated he had not heard any further comments
from the members of Main Street since the Planning and Zoning Advisory Board meeting.
Michael Shiff, President, The Shiff Group/Dania Beach Hospitality, Corporation, mentioned
that he met with Patty Hart and M.P. Malone from Main Street and that some changes were
made to the design of the building. A brochure of a mixed-use project recently finished by
Mr.-Shiff on Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale was distributed. Mr. Shiff mentioned that
Fort Lauderdale rewrote their zoning ordinances to provide for the mixed use and that the
use had been extremely successful. Discussion followed on the positive aspects of people
living and working in the downtown area and a drawing was presented for two 3,000 square
foot buildings. Mr. Shiff explained that the buildings would incorporate loft apartments on the
second floor (850 square foot units) and retail use on the first floor. Comments were
presented on the parking needs for the site and the modern style of the building providing a
fresh development concept for the downtown area.
Patty Hart, Main Street, mentioned that Mr. Shiff was very accommodating with making
changes to the color scheme and plants and greenery additions and that the Design
Committee was pleased with the design. She advised that only a few members had
attended the Planning &Zoning Board meeting.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, advised that the mixed-use style had
become very popular in urban areas as an alternative to urban sprawl and had been used in
other communities where downtowns have potential for growth. Mr. Leeds stressed the
importance of building quality residential development downtown to support more evening
pedestrian activity. An overview of the 12 variances was presented and it was noted that
Variance #10 was withdrawn at the applicant's request. Mr. Leeds presented five
recommended conditions to be included should the variances be approved.
Commissioner Mikes was complimentary to Mr. Shiff's building design, however, he
disagreed with the modern design in the City's historical downtown area.
Mr. Leeds clarified that staff informed the applicant at the time the building plan was
presented that the design would not be consistent with the Dania Beach Hotel property. Mr.
Leeds clarified that the City's Zoning Code does not mandate any particular style of
architecture
Mayor Flury confirmed with Mr. Leeds that the most recent new construction in the
downtown area was the five-unit addition to Luckey's Motel and that it has been 30 years or
more since new construction was built in the downtown area. She pointed out that
businesses are in big trouble in the downtown area and that the City should welcome new
construction.
Mr. Shiff mentioned that he would not move forward on this project if he didn't think it was
appropriate for the area and that he thought everyone would like it after completion.
Commissioner McElyea was supportive of the project and pointed out that he was the
President of the Historical Society and well versed in the history of the City.
MINUTES REGULAR MEETING
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 10 OCTOBER 23, 2001
Mayor Flury opened the public hearing on the Variances, Special Exception and Site Plan.
John Etling, Chairman of the Design Committee of Main Street, advised that the Design
Committee expressed strong opposition to the modern building style the first time it was
presented in September and again at the Planning & Zoning Board meeting. Mr. Etling
clarified that Main Street did welcome the idea of mixed use.
Patty Hart, Design Committee of Main Street, apologized for any misrepresentation that may
have been expressed as she thought all members were aware of the changes that Mr. Shiff
had made to the design. In addition, Ms. Hart added that there were no Design Guidelines to
dictate the style of architecture in the downtown district.
Michael Shiff clarified that there was no requirement for him to bring his project before the
Main Street Design Committee. Further, he pointed out that the members of the Planning &
Zoning Board voted unanimously to approve the project and that John Etling chairs the
Planning & Zoning Board.
Mr. Etling stated that Ms. Hart had not appeared at two recent Design Committee meetings
to provide an update on the plans to the entire committee and that additional work was
needed on the Design Guidelines to segregate the design issues from the zoning issues.
Mr. Etling clarified that he voted for the variances, special exception and site plan based on
the code, however, he did not vote on the design of the building.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Flury closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Commissioner Bertino, seconded by Commissioner Mikes,
continuing the Variances, Special Exception and Site Plan to the November 13 meeting in
order to allow time for Mr. Shiff to meet with all the members of the Design Committee so
that recommendations could be brought back to the City Commission. The motion was
withdrawn based on the following comments from Mayor Flury.
Mayor Flury recommended approving the Variances and Special Exception tonight and
holding off on approving the Site Plan until the Design Committee could meet with Mr. Shiff
and she urged the members on the Design Committee to work in a cooperative and
productive manner so as not to discourage the petitioner.

10. COMMISSION COMMENTS:
10.1 Commissioner Bertino mentioned that different levels of government have expressed
concern about the loss in revenues from gasoline tax, Federal Revenue Sharing, sales tax,
and cigarette tax since the September 111h terrorist attacks.
Ivan Pato, City Manager, advised that he had directed Dave Keller, Finance Director, to
proceed with a review of the current budget as follows: Plan (a) anticipate revenue shortfalls
from 5% to 7%; Plan (b) shortfalls at 7% or more; Plan (c) develop a contingency plan.
Mayor Flury inquired as to whether there were any directions from State and County
agencies on revenue projections.
Dave Keller, Finance Director, advised that he had taken steps to communicate with both
Broward County and the State Department of Revenue in regards to revenue projections.
The State Department of Revenue is projecting a 7% decrease in original sales tax for the
full year and these figures may be increased or revised. In addition, Mr. Keller explained that
he had offered to work with Broward County's Revenue Analysts when they begin further
analysis. At this time, Broward County is only monitoring the revenues and are not
conducting any scenario forecasting.
10.2 Commissioner McElyea commented on the extreme beach erosion going on at Dania
Beach. He mentioned that drug trafficking and prostitution continues in the southwest
section in spite of the City's action to close the streets and that there was a need to take
stronger action through arrests and convictions.
10.3 Commissioner Mikes advised that there was an increase in tidal levels; global
warming is increasing the erosion problems in Florida and that beach re-nourishment may
not be of much assistance.
He mentioned that the street closures are being conducted on a trial period and that they do
not look very good because landscaping has not yet been installed. The street closure
structures would become permanent if the project indicates a reduction in crime in the area.
ITEM #11.7 WAS ADDRESSED AFTER ITEM 10.3.
10.4 Vice-Mayor Chunn — no comments
ITEM #10.5 WAS ADDRESSED AFTER 11.7.
10.5 Mayor Flury asked City Manager Pato to check with the resident who spoke about
bulk and regular trash pickup in the alleys at the October 9th meeting to ensure that he was
advised of the option for pickup in the front or the alley.
Mayor Flury agreed that the City should proceed with caution on spending, however, she
mentioned that the City holds a better reserve and contingency fund compared to prior
years. In addition, grant funding received from Broward County is providing the ability to
move forward on many park improvements and she recommended that the 803 NW 1st
0 Street project proceed since debt service was minimal.
MINUTES REGULAR MEETING
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 13 OCTOBER 23, 2001
Mayor Flury inquired as to why it was taking so long for the drug dog program to begin.
Chief Robert Anton, BSO, advised that a deputy had been selected and a contract
addendum to the BSO Contract was being prepared, which included the drug dog program.
A request of up to $40,000.00 had been requested from the Local Law Enforcement Trust
Fund to cover schooling for the dog. Chief Anton advised that the schooling for the dog
could not be scheduled until the addendum was executed. Chief Anton advised that the 10-
week schooling program could not start until January.
ITEM 11.2 WAS HEARD AFTER ITEM 10.5.
11. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION:
ITEM 11.1 WAS HEARD AFTER ITEM 5.3.
11.1 Discussion with Broward County, Department of Planning and Environmental
Protection, on City's interest in managing Site 136 and Site 143A as part of the Land
Preservation and Acquisition Program. (Staff)
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, explained that site #136 (6.6 acres) is
located at the northwest corner of 35th Avenue and Stirling Road and #143A (8.9 acres) is
located at the northwest corner of Stirling Road and SW 40th Avenue. The land use and
zoning is residential for both sites.
Janice Friedbaum, Land Preservation of the Department of Planning and Environmental
Protection, advised that 80 or 90 sites were recently approved by the Broward County Board
of County Commissioners to be included in the County's inventory of conservation lands and
green spaces. She mentioned that the City had previously, (June 19th) reviewed a list of
sites that were designated as conservation or green spaces within the city limits of Dania
Beach. The City Commission supported some of the acquisitions and denied some of the
sites, which included 143A. At the time, 143A, had been located in unincorporated Broward
County and was now located within the City limits of Dania Beach due to the newly
annexation area that came into the City September 15.
Ms. Friedbaum advised that Broward County must also determine if cities are willing to
manage the properties as Broward County assumes management of properties adjacent to
county owned parks. Site 136 is an isolated small parcel that does not logistically make
sense for the County to manage. The site is a green space, which is not as high a quality as
a conservation site, because the site is not restorable to its native or natural condition due to
the significant impact on the southeast corner from horse grazing.
Randy Wilkinson, Parks & Recreation Director, agreed that the land could be used as a
passive park for possible redevelop to teach horseback riding.
Commissioner Bertino suggested that the site be used for the Boys and Girls Scout
organizations for camping. Ms. Friedbaum advised that the site could be used by these
organizations as long as it falls under the umbrella of public access and is on a permitted
use basis.
A motion was made by Commissioner Bertino, seconded by Vice-Mayor Chunn, supporting
Broward County's purchase of Site #136 with the understanding that the City would manage
the site.

ITEM 7 (CONSENT AGENDA) WAS HEARD AFTER ITEM 11.1.
ITEM 11.2 WAS HEARD AFTER ITEM 10.5.
11.2 Request by Attorney James C. Brady to discuss The Copa Nightclub located at 2800
South Federal Highway. (Staff)
Attorney James Brady mentioned that The Copa received permission from the City recently
to extend closing hours to 4:00 a.m. Attorney Brady explained that the club's closing time
was 6:00 a.m. before the property was annexed into the City of Dania Beach as part of the
1996 land swap involving airport and Port Everglades properties. Attorney Brady advised
that Greg Bernard, owner of the Copa, determined that a significant amount of business has
been lost without the additional 2 hours.
Attorney Brady requested that the City Commission consider working with him in preparing
an ordinance to regulate the closing hours. Additional comments were presented on the
business' parking lot being located in the City of Hollywood and the building being located in
Dania Beach.
Greg Bernard, owner of The Copa, explained that in most cases the business hour use
would have been grandfathered into the City and that the change in hours has impacted his
business.
The City Commission generally agreed to stand firm on the 4:00 a.m. closing time based on
an extension to 6:00 a.m. for The Copa creating additional requests from other similar
businesses in the City.
11.3 Update from City Attorney Ansbro on Chubb's Lounge and further discussion of
Nuisance Abatement Board recommendation. (City Attorney)
City Attorney Ansbro was pleased to report that a letter had been received from the attorney
for the property owners/landlords, Mr. And Mrs. Pete Prossic, submitting a termination
agreement whereby the tenant had surrendered possession of the property. He mentioned
that Mr. Prossic was ill and that his daughter, Ms. Campbell, had stated no desire to open
up or re-rent another type of bar use. In addition, City Attorney Ansbro stated that Mr.
Leeds and himself were willing to work with the attorney in a cooperative way to define a
better use for the property.
Attorney Ansbro expressed his dissatisfaction with a recent editorial appearing in the Miami
Herald which made a negative reference to the Nuisance Abatement Board in regards to the
actions taken with the Chubb's Lounge. He clarified that a Mr. Holmes had been arrested for
the death of two people who had left the Chubb's Lounge. Attorney Ansbro stressed the
importance of newspapers doing a better job of understanding legal issues of this magnitude
before making judgments about the way the Board proceeded as they were following his
legal recommendations based on State Statute requirements.
MINUTES REGULAR MEETING
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 15 OCTOBER 23, 2001
11.4 Discussion of Parks, Recreation & Community Affairs Advisory Board in relation to
waiver reviews for I.T. Parker Community Center. (Mayor Flury)
Mayor Flury suggested utilizing the Parks & Recreation Board for the waiver reviews at the
I.T. Parker Community Center as long as more direction was provided to the Board. She
also mentioned that the Parks, Recreation & Community Affairs Advisory Board continues to
experience a lack of quorum and cannot hold meetings and that a reduction in the members
might be a solution.
Commissioner Mikes recommended establishing a separate I.T. Parker Board made up of
civic leaders and senior citizens and to expand the duties to not only deal with the waiver
requests but also the general use of the facility.
A motion was made by Commissioner McElyea, seconded by Commissioner Bertino,
amending the Parks, Recreation & Community Affairs Advisory Board Resolution by
reducing the membership to 10 members and establishing a quorum of 6 for the Board.
The motion passed on the following 5/0 roll call vote:
Commissioner Bertino-yes Commissioner McElyea-yes
Commissioner Mikes-yes Vice-Mayor Chunn-yes
Mayor Flury-yes
A motion was made by Commissioner Bertino, seconded by Commissioner Mikes,
establishing a new I.T. Parker Community Center Board with five members (1 from each
commissioner) and preparing a resolution defining the duties for the board for the November
13 meeting and that an annual financial statement be provided for the center.
The motion passed on the following 5/0 roll call vote:
Commissioner Bertino-yes Commissioner McElyea-yes
Commissioner Mikes-yes Vice-Mayor Chunn-yes
Mayor Flury-yes
Randy Wilkinson, Parks & Recreation Director, advised that he had prepared a draft fee
waiver policy to present to the new board.
11.5 Request by Sam Weiss for 90-day extension of temporary trailer permit. (Staff)
Sam Weiss mentioned that his facility was being rebuilt due to a fire that took place several
months ago and requested a further extension of the permit for the trailer that is being used
as a freezer for meat.
Laurence Leeds, Growth Management Director, advised that Mr. Weiss originally requested
120 days and would now prefer a 150-day extension. No complaints had been registered
against the existing trailer use and Mr. Leeds had no objection to the extension. However,
he recommended that the City Commission require the permit to be brought back at the
120-day limit if problems are experienced. If no problems exist, the 150-day extension would
continue.
MINUTES REGULAR MEETING
CITY OF DANIA BEACH 16 OCTOBER 23, 2001
Mr. Weiss mentioned that the delay is due to new code requirements that have to be
completed on the new building.
A motion was made by Commissioner McElyea, seconded by Commissioner Mikes,
approving a 150-day extension with the understanding that the permit would be brought
back to the City Commission at the 120-day time frame in the event complaints are
registered.

Commissioner Mikes suggested that the city manager conduct a public safety inventory to
determine whether there is sufficient staffing and whether special training was needed as
part of a security plan. In addition, public safety staff should be reviewed to see who may
hold second jobs and whether overtime would be needed.
City Manager Pato advised that plans from the Fire Department and BSO are already
underway on emergency responses and that a closed-door security session would be
scheduled.
Addendum
11.9 Discussion of parking on grassy areas. (Commissioner Bertino)
