The name they chose for their first born was odd, but quite unique. "Bobbie" means "shining with fame." This name expresses wisdom, a caring, sensible, and wise spirit. The mentality and motivation of one who bears the name "Bobbie" is a positive, outgoing, forthright, and independent attitude. xT The Hutchins decided to move to Dania, Florida in 1951. Upon their arrival, j Bobbie was enrolled at Attucks Elementary School. She continued her matriculation until 1963, when she graduated from Attucks High School.

Throughout Mrs. Grace's entire political career she has kept her focus and faith on the Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent God.

These words have enabled her to serve the people with honesty and integrity. 4461 SW 34th Drive Dania Beach FL 33312-5513 954 966-8013 GLuedtke@mindspring.com 10/2/06 Louise Stilson, City Clerk City of Dania Beach 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard F�EC l'��IVED Dania Beach FL 33004-3643 OCT - 2 Z006 Dear Louise, ' Please add my name to those to be considered to replace Commissioner McElyea for the balance of his term. Briefly, my qualifications include: • ZQ most-recent campaigns for the position • Appointments to, and leading service on civic Boards of: • Airport Advisory Board • Budget Advisory Board • Charter Review Board • Civil Service Board • Code Enforcement Board • Planning & Zoning Board • Continuing voting representation (since `94 inception) on FLL's Airport Noise Abatement Committee Sitting Commissioners should know: • My competence from issues-familiarity mean I can step into the position "running." • I hereby pledge that I have no interest in running a third campaign to retain the seat. In fact following cruises to Costa Rica, and a thousand miles up the Amazon back to here; I'm booked for an April cruise from here to South America, thru the Panama Canal, up Mexico, California, Canada and Alaska; ... and I won't miss that? Altho my personal life hasn't caught up from the prior civic service, I can absorb serving this interim appoint- ment with my usual dedication, while my personal goal is to board the next World Cruise from Port Everglades. • My involvement fighting the airport's runway expansion plan has been unabated. With impending release of the new Environmental Impact Statement(EIS), and Part 150(mitigation) scheduled for December; having the most knowledgeable/effective opponents (as myself)joining the dais can best combat this most de- structive, pivotal-for-the-city, development. • Each Commissioner, having been elected in joint campaign-efforts, should have no questions of my integrity. Appointment is further justified by the electorate having selected Commissioner McElyea's long service over my efforts by just 100 votes.

Tyra 2912 SW 54" St. Dania Beach, FL 33312 954-987-5132 October 1, 2006 City Commissioners Dania Beach, FL RE: City Commissioner Vacancy Dear Mayor, Vice Mayor, City Commissioners Please accept this email letter as my formal declaration of sincere interest in being considered/appointed to fill the recently created City Commissioner vacancy. Attached is a brief professional resume. As you all know I have been active in the City of Dania Beach since the pre-annexation efforts by the City. What you may not know is that I first was a visitor to Dania in the mid 1950's, starting with my first vacation visit to my Aunt and Uncle who rented winters in Dania until they purchased a mobile home in the new Estates ofFt. Lauderdale. Following my Uncle's death, my husband and I purchased their mobile home in 1988 to use for vacations. After my retirement from University teaching in Massachusetts we decided that living in the Estates of Ft, Lauderdale required a bigger home so we moved up the street and I became more active as a member of several Clubs, serving on the Board of Directors at the Estates, working part time and being involved with my professional organizations. At this time, I have the time, energy and expertise to serve as a City Commissioner, completing the term of the recently resigned Commissioner. I am not in a position to "run" for a regular term of Office as we continue to return to Martha's Vineyard in the summer. Thus 1 would be pleased and honored to be able to serve the City and citizens of Dania Beach as Commissioner until the next election. If appointed, I believe I would be your first Commissioner to "come from the West" but I would see myself representing all of Dania Beach. Geographically I am more familiar with the western part of Dania Beach (partly from my COP activities during the last 6 years) but as you know from my somewhat regular attendance at Commission meetings I have paid attention to much that has gone on in the City and commented on some issues at your meetings. I worked diligently on the Task Force you appointed me to, to obtain citizen input on how to spend the Bond money on community improvements (streets, lights and sidewalks). I have been an active member of your Human Relations Advisory Board for two terms. I am pleased at the progress this Board has made regarding the cemeteries and creating a process for reviewing and recommending donations to charitable/non-profit organizations. While I have never held an elected public office, I have substantial experience on educational, health and professional organizations and boards. I am at ease speaking in front of people. I have years of experience presenting professional papers and participating on panels at the local, state, regional and national level. I am articulate, ethical, objective, concise if necessary, an independent thinker, a problem identifier, problem solver (if I can), and team player. I will, however, vote my conscience, based on a careful review of information presented and if in the minority, not hold a grudge but support the decision of the majority. I want the City of Dania Beach to continue its momentum to move forward, improve its infrastructure and public image, encourage new building projects (with careful review and oversight), and promote tourism. I respectfully request your consideration for appointment. Sincerely yours, Patricia A. Tyra Patricia A. Tyra, Ed.D., APRN, BC 2912 SW 54th Street, Ft.
