The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Anton Yes Vice-Mayor Flury Yes Commissioner Bertino Yes Mayor Castro Yes Commissioner McElyea Yes 3. Appointment of Legal Counsel City Attorney Ansbro proposed he act as the General Counsel, but that Moskowitz, Mandell, Salim & Simowitz, P.A. act as special Counsel to do the lobbying and help with negotiations for site acquisitions. City Manager Pato agreed they would be Specialized Counsel in an area which they are considered to be experts. Bill Salim remarked this was their understanding; they did not assume they would usurp Attorney Ansbro's position. Their job would be to provide special litigation and CRA-type governmental advice, ancillary to Attorney Ansbro's skills and expertise. He indicated they initially proposed an annual budget for $75,000; however, a new proposal was submitted to Mr. Palo today for $72,000, payable $6,000 per month, which would include any and all representation necessary for the CRA Board, including negotiating and entering into contracts with the landowners; it would not include formal litigation or Eminent Domain proceedings. City Attorney Ansbro advised they will not act as the Executive Director; he does not think we need a special director at this time. He noted he just received the proposal letter today, and suggested the Commission approve the transaction at the June 14 meeting. Vice-Chairman Flury motioned to utilize the City Attorney as General Counsel for the CRA Board, and Moskowitz, Mandell, Salim & Simowitz, P.A. as Special Counsel, as needed; seconded by Mr. Bertino. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Mr. Anton Yes Vice-Chairman Flury Yes Mr. Bertino Yes Chairman Castro Yes Mr. McElyea Yes 4. Schedule Regular Meeting Dates Vice-Chairman Flury motioned to schedule regular quarterly meetings for the Community Redevelopment Agency, to be scheduled prior to a regular City Commission meeting; seconded by Mr. McElyea. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Mr. Anton Yes Vice-Chairman Flury Yes Mr. Bertino Yes Chairman Castro Yes Mr. McElyea Yes Chairman Castro noted there are two other items on the memo for discussion; the first is the potential appointment of an Executive Director. City Manager Palo commented it is premature to appoint an Executive Director, but he will research all available options and put it in the upcoming Budget cycle. Chairman Castro remarked the other item is the potential retention of a person to conduct a study reviewing and making recommendations to amend the current City Building & Zoning Codes, or the creation of a separate code applicable to the CRA boundaries. Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, commented the amendment would not be to the Building Code; the Florida Building Code applies to all the cities in the county. It would be amendments to zoning regulations, and the establishment of design criteria for the CRA area. He noted we do not have funds budgeted this year, but there will be a request in the 2006 Budget to hire a consultant to conduct a study of the CRA and make recommendations for design criteria. Chairman Castro noted the memo includes the appraiser's schedule and the recommendation for the CRA to authorize retention in preparation of the second appraisal. Minutes of Regular Meeting 2 City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Tuesday,May 24, 2005—6:30 p.m. Vice-Chairman Flury motioned to move forward with the appraiser; seconded by Mr. Bertino.
