Mayor, Vice Mayor and City of Dania Beach Commission
City of Dania Beach
Dania Beach, FL 33004.
Dear Mayor and Commissioners:
Submitted herewith is the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Dania Beach ("City")
` for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006 as required by Chapter 218.39 of the Florida Statutes and
Chapter 10.550 of the Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida.
` The Finance Department of the City is responsible for the content of this report. We believe this report
presents a fair presentation of the City's financial position and results of the operations at the City as
measured by the financial activities of its various funds and all disclosures necessary to enable the reader
to gain the maximum understanding of the City's financial affairs have been included. The City's
independent auditors, Rachlin Cohen and Holtz LLP, have issued an unqualified opinion on the financial
statements as presented herein.
This report is prepared using the new reporting model in accordance with the Governmental Accounting
Standard Board (GASB) Statement 34, Basic Financial Statements—and Management's Discussion and
Analysis. This new reporting model represents a dramatic change because the presentation of the City's
financial information now contains a government-wide perspective using the flow of economic resources
and accrual basis of accounting. This perspective gives a better understanding of the financial operations
., and condition of the City. It eliminates the internal service fund (self-insurance fund) and account groups
(general long term debt group and general fixed assets group). In addition, the City also implemented
GASH Statement Number 37, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for
State and Local Governments (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A
and should be read in conjunction with it. The MD&A can be found on pages 3 through 16 immediately
following the Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants. Also implemented are Statement No.
,r 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures; and Interpretation No. 6, Recognition and
Measurement of Certain Liabilities and Expenditures in Governmental Fund Financial Statements.
GASB 44, Economic Condition Reporting: The Statistical Section is implemented for fiscal year ending
September 30, 2006.
The Financial Statement is presented in four main sections: Introductory, Financial, Statistical and
Compliance so as to facilitate understanding by the non-financially oriented users.
The Introductory Section is designed to introduce the reader to the City. It includes the transmittal letter,
a list of principal officials and the City's organization chart.
`Broward First City"
w 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania Beach, Florida 33004 Phone(954)924-3600 www.daniabeachfl.gov.
i
The Financial Section includes the independent auditors' report, Management's Discussion and Analysis,
basic financial statements and the related notes to the financial statements. The basic financial statements 40
and notes are designed to provide an overview of the City's financial position, both governmental and
business-type operations. The remainder of this section includes the combining statements, individual
fund statements and schedules and other required supplemental information.
The Statistical Section contains data that are intended to reflect social, economical, debt and financial
trends, as well as the fiscal capacity of the City. It is hoped this information will give users of this report 40
a better historical perspective and assist in assessing current financial status.
The fourth section includes reports on compliance and internal control as required by Governmental itll
Auditing Standards, U.S. Office of Management and Budget(OMB) Circular A-133.
The City is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Ili
Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of State and Local Governments and the Florida Single Audit
Act. Information related to this single audit (including the schedule of expenditures of federal awards,
findings and questioned costs and auditor's reports on internal control and compliance) is included in the
fourth section of the report. Also included are expenditures of state financial assistance programs with
the Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida and management letter comments.

THE REPORTING ENTITY AND ORGANIZATION
The City of Dania Beach was incorporated in 1904 as Broward's first city. The City, which operates
under a Commission-City Manager form of government, provides services to an estimated 29,555
residents. Four Council Members and a Mayor are elected at large on a non-partisan basis for four-year
terms. The Commission appoints the City Manager, who is the Chief Administrative Officer of the City
and is responsible for implementing policies adopted by the City Commission. The City Commission
determines policy, adopts legislation, approves the City's budget, and set taxes and fees.
The City provides a full range of municipal services. The public safety program includes fire and rescue
services and contract of police services from the Broward County Sheriffs Office. The City's extensive
recreation program includes a beach, pools, tennis courts, neighborhood parks, community centers, a
marina and provides a wide variety of programs for youth, adults and senior citizens. The Public Services
Department provides essential street maintenance, beautification of roadways, cemetery maintenance and
operations, performs projects funded by the Community Development Block Grants, and provides water
and sewer service as well as maintenance of the City's storm drains and systems. The Community
Development Department provides planning, zoning, building inspection, code enforcement and
occupational license services to the public.
Internal support services includes the Department of Human Resources and Risk Management which is
responsible for recruitment, compensation and benefits, employee relations, workers compensation,
property, casualty and liability insurance. The Finance Department handles the collection and
disbursement of all city funds, develops operational and capital budgeting, debt management, cash
management, fixed asset controls, payroll, lien search, utility billing and collections, and oversees the
Information Services division which provides network and computer support to City departments. The W
Public Services Department also provides internal support for fleet management and citywide building
maintenance.

Mr
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The City of Dania Beach is located in Southeastern Broward County on the Atlantic Ocean with the City
of Hollywood to the south and the City of Fort Lauderdale to the North. The City encompasses
approximately 8.4 square miles. The City is located immediately south of the Fort Lauderdale-
Hollywood International Airport, Port Everglades, and the Broward County Convention Center.
Dania Beach is a major player in South Florida's academic, marine, and tourism industries. Florida
Atlantic University's nationally recognized oceanographic engineering research facility, known as
SeaTech, is located in Dania Beach. In addition, the Raymond T. McKay Center for Advanced Maritime
Officer's Training and the Simulation Training Assessment & Research Center are also located within the
City's boundary, with state of the art bridge and engine room simulators which offer advanced merchant
marine training. Bass Pro Fishing and Game Centers, Diver's Direct and the International Game Fishing
Association Museum and Hall of Fame are major attractions for people interested in boating, diving and
fishing.
+ Much of the City's business and lifestyle revolves around its waterways. Besides the Atlantic beach, the
City also owns two marinas. The business district of the City, which is mostly located on Federal
Highway, is well known as the Dania Antique District, a tourist destination for many.
The City with the assistance from the private sector, and jointly with the City of Lauderhill and Fort
Lauderdale, has received a designation of an Enterprise Zone. Under Florida Statute 290, business in the
Enterprise Zone can obtain job credits, property tax credits, sales tax exemptions for business equipment
and sales tax exemptions for electrical energy used. With these incentives, the City hopes to attract more
prominent business to the downtown area of the City.
w
According to the Broward County Property Appraiser's Office, the taxable value of the City represents an
increase of 17.57% over last year's assessment.
In fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, the Community Development Department responded to
approximately 3,000 land development inquiries and issued 4,710 building permits. Barring a major
economic downturn, the Community Development Department is estimating an additional 4,000 new
housing units and 1.0 - 1.3 additional million square feet of commercial/industrial development over the
next 10 years. Projected development is estimated to have a taxable value in excess of one billion dollars
and increase total population by 7,000 — 10,000 persons. With all the promising growth, the City may be
adversely impacted by the future expansion of the south runway of the Fort Lauderdale International
Airport at Dania Beach.
With this airport expansion, the City faces the possibility of losing established residential neighborhoods
and commercial uses, resulting in a significant reduction in the city's property tax. The residential areas
especially, because of ocean access, have seen dramatic increases in property values over the last two
years. Besides the irreplaceable personal loss that will be experienced by homeowners who are forced to
relocate, the city faces a significant reduction in its tax base.
In 2004 the State of Florida and Broward County passed a referendum for the operation of slot machines
in four pari-mutuel sites, one of which, Dania Jai Alai, is located in the City of Dania Beach. Boyd
Gaming, the third largest gaming entertainment incorporation in the world has entered into an agreement
�. with Aragon, the current owner of the Dania Beach Jai Alai, to purchase the property for construction of a
casino. The target date for the opening of the casino will be first quarter of calendar year 2009.
iii
.r
However, it is believed that the City will face some impacts, both economically and in service demand
such as traffic and public safety.

FOR THE FUTURE
Although fiscal year 2006 was a year of significant accomplishments, the City is still faced with the
significant economic impacts of rising personnel costs and the unknown impact on the City with regard to
the slot machines operations and expansion of the Fort Lauderdale Airport runway. The City, as well as
many other state and local governments, faces the challenge of providing infrastructure improvements and
support systems and funding necessary to maintain the quality of life for our citizens without tax
increases. Some of future projects include:
..
✓ Improvements to the water treatment plant, water distribution system, wastewater collection system
and storm water system for approximately eleven million dollars over the next five years.
✓ Encouraging economic development and redevelopment in an effort to promote the expansion of
the City's existing tax base.
✓ Complete the construction of the C.W. Thomas Park Recreation Center and P.J. Meli Recreation
Center and improvements to other recreation facilities as approved in the General Obligation Bond.
✓ Construct a new Fire Station in the annexed area.
✓ Expansion of the City Hall and the Public Services Compound.
✓ Neighborhood improvements which include traffic calming devices, sidewalks and lighting projects
as approved in the General Obligation Bond.
✓ Address the many complex issues that will impact the city as a result of the planned airport south
runway extension.
✓ Address the impacts that the City will face with regards to the introduction of slot machines at the
r. Dania Jai Alai which was approved by both State and Broward County referendums.
✓ Rezone Community Re-development Area to attract developer to properly redevelop the designated
area.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Accounting Controls
City Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure that is
designed to ensure that the City's assets are protected from loss, theft or misuse.
Further, management ensures that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance
regarding the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition. The controls are till
also intended to provide assurance as to the reliability of financial records as related to the preparation of
financial statements and accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that
the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and that the evaluation of costs W
and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Staff in the Finance Department continually reviews and assesses the soundness and adequacy of all
accounting and budgetary aspects of the City's financial system. Financial transactions and related data
are examined for accuracy, completeness and authorization. Furthermore, data processing applications
and systems are analyzed to ensure that necessary controls are in effect. In addition to these internal
controls, annual financial audits are performed by independent certified public accountants.
Single Audit
The City received federal, state and county financial assistance and is responsible for ensuring that an
adequate internal control structure is in place to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations
related to those programs. The internal control structure is subject to periodic evaluation by management.
The City is required to undergo an annual single audit performed under the provisions of the US Office of
Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-Profit
Organizations and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, State of Florida. The information
related to the Single Audit, including the schedule of expenditure of federal awards and state financial
assistance, findings and recommendations, and auditors' reports on the internal control and compliance 00
with applicable laws and regulations are included in Section 4 of the report. This report disclosed no
instances of material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting or any significant violations
of applicable laws and regulations. W
Budgetary Controls
The budgetary controls adopted by the City of Dania Beach includes a legally adopted budget by the
Commission for the general fund, special revenue funds, capital projects funds, enterprise funds and debt
service funds. Without Commission approval, expenditures may not exceed department levels.
Administrative budget transfers may occur upon approval of the City Manager as long as the department
budget is not increased. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as reservations of fund
balance and are re-appropriated as part of the next year's budget.
vi
W1
Cash Management
The City maintains a pooled cash account for all funds with the exception of Pension Trust Funds. The
City adopted a written investment policy in August 2004. To ensure the most competitive rates on
investments, the cash resources of the individual funds (excluding the bond proceeds in the Capital
Projects Fund) are combined to form a pool of cash and investments. The average monthly investment
portfolio in 2006 was 27.3 million dollars. The investment for fiscal year 2006 is primarily with the State
Board of Administration Investment Pool. The City also purchased Federal Home Loan Bank Securities
with interest rate ranging from 2% to 5.45% and maturity date ranges from February 2006 to September
30, 2008. The average interest rate of return for fiscal year 2006 is 4.75%. The City also purchased
Certificates of Deposit, collateralized as required by Florida Statues Chapter 280. The interest earned
from all sources included assets held and managed by other fiscal agent was S305,076 compared to
526,572 in fiscal year 2005. The increase is due to the issuance of the $6.8 million general obligation
bonds in September 2005 of which the fund was held by the trustee.
Risk Management
The City purchased commercial coverage for property, general liability and worker's compensation
insurance. The Human Resources and Risk Management Department is responsible for submitting all
.. claims and providing information as needed to the insurance carriers. The City operates a self-insurance
fund for its employee's health insurance coverage. An administrator is contracted to process all dental
and vision claims. The health insurance claims are handled by the insurance network carrier.
Pension Trust Operations
The City of Dania Beach has two defined benefit pension plans: The General Employees' Pension Fund
and the City of Dania Beach Retirement System for Police and Firefighters_ A separate Board of Trustees
is responsible for the administration of each plan.
Any general employees who are hired after March I, 2006, participate in the Florida Retirement System
which is operated by the State of Florida.
The City also sponsors one deferred compensation plan, which qualifies under Internal Revenue Code
Section 457. The plan is funded by employee contributions and administered by independent fiduciary
agents. The plan (according to GASB 32) is no longer reported on the City's balance sheet.
CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT FOR EXCELLENCE IN FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Dania Beach for its
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. This was the
seventeenth consecutive year (fiscal years 1988-2005) that the government has received this prestigious
award. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition for excellence in state and local
sovetnment financial reporting.
y
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the City published an easily readable and efficiently
organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. This report satisfied both generally accepted
accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
vii
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for one year only. We believe that the September 30, 2006,
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's
requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
+r
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of this nature could not have been prepared without the i►
dedicated efforts of the entire staff of the Finance Department. A special note of thanks is also extended
to the auditing firm Rachlin Cohen & Holtz for the professional approach in conducting the independent
audit of the City's financial records and transactions. M�
In closing, I would like to express my appreciation to the City Commission for their leadership and
continued support in the planning and conducting of the fiscal operations of the City. Without your Sri
support the preparation of this report would not have been possible.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Honorable Mayor, City Commission and City Manager
City of Dania Beach, Florida
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Dania Beach,
Florida (the City), as of and for the year ended September 30. 2006, which collectively comprise the
City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. We did not audit the Pension Trust
Fund for Police Officers and Firefighters, which represents 65% and 55%, respectively, of the assets and
revenues of the aggregate remaining fund information. Those financial statements were audited by
another auditor whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for the Pension Trust Fund for the Police Officers and Firefighters, is based solely on
the report of the other auditor. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management.
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the united States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditor, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the City of Dania Beach, Florida, as of September 30, 2006, and the respective changes in financial
position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
.. principles generally accepted in the United States.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 8,
2006 on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters.
The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal
control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our
audit.
Management's discussion and analysis and the required supplementary information on pages 3 through 16
and pages 52 through 56, respectively, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the generally accepted accounting principles. We have applied
certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods
of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit
the information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements-. The accompanying information identified in the table of
contents as the introductory section, combining and individual nomnajor fund financial statements, and
.� statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for
purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133,
Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organi;,ations, and is also not a required part of the
basic financial statements of the City. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements
and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The information identified in the table of
contents as the Introductory and Statistical Sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(MD&A)

Government-aide Financial Statements
The focus of the government-wide financial statements is on the overall fmancial position and activities r
of the City of Dania Beach. Reporting is similar to that of a private-sector business.
The City's government-wide financial statements include the statement of net assets and statement of r
activities. As described below, these statements do not include the City's fiduciary funds as resources of
these funds cannot be used to finance the City's operations. However, the financial statements of the
fiduciary funds are included in the City's fund financial statements as the City is financially accountable
for those resources.
rr
-+-
■r
The Statement of Net Assets (page 17) provides information on the assets held and liabilities owed by the
City. Assets and liabilities are reported using the accrual basis of accounting, which means assets are
recorded when the City acquires ownership and liabilities are reported whey they are incurred, regardless
of when cash is received or paid. The difference between the City's total assets and total liabilities is net
assets. This statement, for the first time, combines and consolidates governmental current financial
resources (short-term spendable resources) with capital assets and long term obligations.
The Statement of Activities (page 18) is focused on both the gross and net cost of various activities. This
is intended to summarize and simplify the user's analysis of cost of various governmental services and the
local taxing effort necessary to sustain each of those activities. The operations of Dania Beach are
divided into two kinds of activities
O Governmental activities—Most of the City's basic services are reported here. It includes police, fire,
public services, community development, parks, and administrative departments. These services are
principally supported by property taxes, franchise fees and utility taxes, license and permit fees,
intergovernmental revenues, special assessment and state and federal grant revenues.
Business-type activities — City's services for which fees and charges are implemented with the
intention to cover all or significant portion of the related costs. These services include water, sewer
and stormwater systems.
These two statements report net assets and the changes in those assets. Over time, increases or decreases
in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or
deteriorating. Many non-financial or external factors, such as the City's tax base is reflected in the
quality of its housing and commercial properties, the condition of City buildings and roads, and the
number and types of businesses in the City, all contribute to the overall health of the City.
Fund Financial Statements
Traditional users of governmental financial statements will find the Fund Financial Statements
presentation more familiar. Unlike government-wide financial statements, the focus of fund financial
statements is directed to specific activities of the City, rather than the City, as a whole. Except for the
General Fund, separate funds are established to maintain control over resources that have been segregated
for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with fmance-related legal requirements as required by
state and federal laws, bond covenants and the governmental accounting standards. All of the funds of
the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds,proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds—Most of City's basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus on
how money flows into and out of those funds and on the balance left at year-end that are available for
future spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual
accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can be readily converted to cash. The
governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City's general government
operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps to determine whether
there are more or fewer financial resources available for allocation to future budgets and programs. The
relationship (or differences) between governmental activities, as reported in the Statement of Net Assets
and the Statement of Activities, and governmental funds is reconciled at the bottom of the fund financial
statements.
-5-
The City maintains nine individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the r
governmental fund balance sheet in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and
changes in fund balances for the General Fund, Grants Fund and the Capital Projects Fund which are
considered to be Major Funds. Information from the other governmental funds is combined into a single, w
aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is
provided in the form of combining statements on pages 57 and 58 of this report.
so
The City adopts annual appropriated budgets for its General Fund, and Grants Fund. Budgetary
comparison schedules have been provided for the General Fund. and the Grants Fund to demonstrate
compliance with the budgets on pages 52 and 53.
The City's governmental fund financial statements are presented on pages 19 to 21.
Proprietary Funds —The City maintains two different proprietary fund types. Enterprise Funds are used
to report the same functions presented as business-npe activities in the goverment-wide financial
statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its Rater, Sewer and Stormwater operations. �
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements
except in more details. The financial statements provide separate information for the dater, Sewer and
Stormwater Utility. 0
The proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 22-24 of the report
Fiduciary Funds — The City reports pension trusts for its two defined benefit pension plans in the
fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parries outside
the government. Fiduciary funds are not included in the goverment-wide financial statement because the
resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own programs. The accounting used for
fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds.
r
The fiduciary fund statements can be found on pages 25 and 26 of this report and a more detailed
description of the City's two pension trust funds may be found in the Notes to Financial Statements,
pages 46-50.
Dotes to the Financial Statements
r
The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential for a full
understanding of the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial
statements can be found on pages 27-51 of this report. r
Other Information
■r
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain
required supplementary information concerning the City's progress in funding its obligations to provide
pension benefits to its employees. This required supplemental information can be found on pages 55 and
56 of this report.

The overall position of the City improved considerably in both the 2005 and 2006 fiscal years. Changes
in net assets over time can be one of the best and most useful indicators of financial position. Key
elements of the reconciliation of the statements are that the government-wide statement of activities
reports the issuance of debt as a liability, the purchases of capital assets as assets which are then charged
to expense over their useful lives through annual depreciation charges and changes in long-term liabilities
as adjustments of expenses. Conversely, the governmental funds statements report the issuance of debt as
other financing source of funds, the repayment of debt and the purchase of capital assets as expenditures,
and changes it long-term liabilities are not reported in the operating statements.
The majority of the City's total net assets (55.33%c) are in capital assets, such as land, buildings,
infrastructure, and equipment,less any related debt outstanding that was used to acquire those assets. The
City uses these capital assets to provide basic sen ices to its residents. Although the City's investment in
its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this
debt must be provided from other sources because it is unlikely that these capital assets would be sold or
liquidated.
An additional portion of the net assets (22.08%) represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining net asset category. unrestricted (22.597c), may be
used to meet the City's on going obligations to its citizens and creditors.
At the end of the fiscal year 2006, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net
assets, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type
activities.

Governmental Acfivities
Governmental activities increased the City's net assets by $5.15 million or 81.25 % of the total growth in
net assets of the City. The reason for the increase is as follows: •
In fiscal year 2006, the City changed the self insurance health plan network to AvM3d. This plan
provides better discounts for health services and prescription drugs. Therefore, the City recognized w
an increase of 1.2 million dollars in reserves for health claims.
rr
-8-
Adopted new investment policy in August 2004 which provides diversification of City's
investments and cash flows. ,Additional interest earning of$500,000 was recognized.
Property Tax & Special Assessment collections were 97.2% and 99.8% respectively, instead of the
budgeted amount of 9517c.This generated an additional $385.000.
Rate increase by Florida Power & Light and telecommunication carriers generated additional
franchise fees and utility taxes which amounted to approximately $500,000.
O Attributed to hurricane recovery efforts additional ,-evcnues of $469,000 were generated from
building permits and half cents sales tax.
Due to stricter expense controls, all departments were able to recognize a surplus for year end.
Total expenditures for year end including Public Safety indicated a positive variance of SI.O million
dollars when compared to budget.
Increase in City's capital assets, net of related debt amounted to $594,000. In addition an increase
of$220,000 in the reserve for Comprehensive Plan which w as derived from the 3 cents gas tax that
can only be used for capital elements in the City's approved Comprehensive Plan.

Operating revenues in the General Fund amounted to $38,145.630, an increase of $6,779.956 when
compared to fiscal year 2005. The increase in Ad Valorem taxes is partly due to higher collection rates
and increases in property values. Six percent (617c) of the increase in this revenue is attributed to
certificate of occupancies being issued for four (4) warehouse units and single family home
developments. Franchise fee increases are attributed to higher rates levied by Florida Power and Light of
which the fees are calculated based on charges. License and Permit fee increases are attributed to an
increase in the number of permits issued from hurricane recovery activities. As for Fines and Forfeitures, r
the City was able to collect an increase of $70,000 with regard to Code Enforcement fines when
compared to fiscal year 2005. In August and October 2005, the City was impacted by two hurricanes,
Katrina and Wilma. Approximately 3 million dollars was received from FENIA to cover some of the +r
costs incurred with regard to preparedness, debris clearance, and repairs to damaged properties which
attributed to the increase in Grants revenue.

�r
Operating expenditures in the General Fund amounted to $31,348,532 an increase of 17.67% over the
preceding year.
• The increase in General Government is mainly due to hurricane preparation and recovery expenses
the City incurred from Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. This amounts to approximately $2.627,960
for debris clearance and repairs to damaged properties. The remaining increase is attributed to
-� higher property and liability insurance premiums, and increases in employees' benefits and salaries.
• Increase in Public Safety is partly attributed to the contractual increase of 5% for the Broward
.. Sheriff Office and a full year of an additional patrol zone in the annexed area. This amounts to
approximately $500,000. The remaining increase is due to increase of salaries as per union contract
and the increase in benefits and pension in the Fire Rescue Department.
• Increase in physical environment is attributed to road resurfacing and sidewalk repairs.
• Decrease in debt service is attributed to 2 capital leases being paid off in the beginning of fiscal
year 2006.
Proprietary Funds
The Fund financial statements for the proprietary funds provide essentially the same type of information
found in the Qovernment-wide financial statements,but in more detail.
• There are three proprietary funds for fiscal year 2006: Water, Sewer and Stormwate-r funds. The
net changes of the funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City's business-type
activities.
Budget Information
The City Commission approves the original budget (Adopted Budget) in September prior to the beginning
of the fiscal year. The final budget (Amended Budget) reflects di«sional changes made administratively
and approved by the City Manager and departmental changes and supplemental appropriations approved
by the City Commission during the year.
The most significant differences between the Adopted Budget and the Amended Budget arc as follows:
• The increase in Finance and A dni nistration is attributed to the purchase of a computerized system
.. for the Fixed Assets and Asset Management application.
• The increase in the Community Development Department is attributed to Comprehensive Plan
update and Urban Design study.
• L-icreases in Fire Department are attributed to 12.5% of City's share of overtime expenses due to
hurricane preparedness.
• Increase in the Highway and Street Department are as follows:
o $8,600 for the City's share of overtime expenses for hurricane preparedness and recovery.
o $10,000 for water utility due to meter installations in the City's medians. While reconciling the
unaccounted for water report, it was realized water meters were not previously installed in the
_ medians.
o $30,000 for electricity due to a rate increase by Florida Power &Light in January 2006.
-13-
• Increase in Culture and Recreation is mainly attributed to the installation of a Lightning Detection rr
System in all City parks and beach facilities and providing lifeguard duties at the north side of the
Beach.
rr
The significant variance between amended budget and year-end actual are as follows:
• Due to the change in network of the City's health insurance benefits to AvMed, a tremendous to
savings has been recognized. With the implementation of GASB 34, the health insurance fund is
being reclassified at year-end and therefore providing credits to all citywide departments. Some of
the departments that experienced huge savings are Fire ($448,961), General Administration for r
funding the retirees insurance benefits ($258,442), Community Development ($127,721), and
Recreation ($80,397).
• Finance and Administration: This is to account for hurricane expenses. No
• Full year vacancy for the engineer position in the Community Development amounts to
approximately $100.000 in salaries and fringe benefits. Comprehensive Plan update, Urban
Design, and portable water/transportation element study has not been performed and funds will be
carried forward to fiscal year 2007.
r
• Vacancy credit experienced in the Broward Sheriff Office in the amount of S193,109.
• Personnel vacancies in the Fire &Rescue Department.
• Received Power Outlook with Educational Rewards Grant (P.O.W.E.R) from the Children Services
Council, which provided funding of the sununer camp, reduced the City's cost to this program by
over$40,000.
• Affected by Hurricane Wilma, the C.W. Thomas pool was inoperable and savings were derived M
from lifeguard contract services of over S35,000. Another $20,000 in grounds maintenance in
City's parks as staff was engaged in hurricane recovery efforts and was unable to perform some of
the grounds maintenance project. Part-time salaries and FICA costs were reduced in fiscal year M
2006 as all parks facilities were closed for at ]east a week when the City did not have electricity
supply after Hurricane Wilma. Depending upon the damages, some facilities such as P.J. Mali
Recreation Center and C.W. Thomas Recreation Center were closed for the full year. r

Economic Factors and Nest Year's Budgets and Rates r
The City experienced an increase in building activities; however, general economic conditions especially
in the real estate market in Florida, will require the City to closely monitor its revenues and expenditures. r
The Broward County Commission has approved the expansion of the South runway at the Fort
Lauderdale/Hollywood Airport. Should this plan be carried out the City will lose approximately 380
single family homes and the Wyndham Hotel. Preliminary calculations indicate an estimated loss of
$1,000,000 in revenues for the City. Further, this expansion will also impact the surrounding areas due to
increased noise and pollution which will affect the value of homes.
The County approved the establishment of a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) at the City of
Dania Beach. However, this is not a traditional CRA in that the City will not be able to obtain property
tax increment revenue derived from the increase of the property value in the CRA area Instead, the
County will provide an interest free loan for projects the County will approve to assist the redevelopment
opportunities in the CRA area. The Count), has established a loan to grant agreement to provide
assistance to the City in funding water infrastructure improvement to the CRA area-
The 2007 State Legislature Session will address the portability of the "Save Our Home" amendment
which allows homestead owners to move their sheltered "Save Our Home' value from one primary
residence to the next within the same county. If the State Senators and Representatives support this
portability amendment, it may have a statewide ballot in June 2007. If this is approved, the City will be
experiencing lower increases in taxable property valves and revenues from property taxes will be
affected.
Besides the portability issue, there are many other bills proposed in the State Legislature Session. These •"
include the doubling of the homestead exemption from S25,000 to S50,000, an additional $25,000
exemption for seniors with limited incomes, capping increases in non-homestead properties, including
commercial properties, and only allowing local government to increase the millage rate based on the roll- +�++
back rate with a CPI increase or else the local government could lose the distribution of the half-cents
sales tax.All these potential bills will have a negative impact to the City's ad valorem tax revenue.
Due to the increase in property values, the City has adopted the fiscal year 2001 budget at a millage rate
of 6.0679 compared to the 6.39 millage rate for the past four years. Should the legislature approve some
of the bills indicated above, the City will have to either increase some of the user fees or services will be
affected negatively.
The voters approved a $6.8 million dollars General Obligation bond issuance in 2005 for the building of a
new Fire Station in the annexed area, parks and recreation improvements and neighborhood
improvements for sidewalks, lighting and traffic calming devices. This equates to a millage rate of 0.149
to be levied in fiscal year 2007 to fund for the debt ser ice.

Depreciation expense (1,960,042)
Net adjustment 406AS I
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to

debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.
The detail of the differences are as follows:
Debt payments 1,075,765
Issuance of debt (1,466,640)
Amortization of debt issuance costs (3,826)
Net adjustment (394,701)

current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as
expenditures in governmental funds.
The details of the difference is:
Net pension asset 47,093
Compensated absences (399,416)

organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable, and other
organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary
government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to
W be misleading or incomplete. The City is financially accountable for a component unit if it
appoints a voting majority of the organization's board and it is able to impose its will on that
organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits,
..
or impose specific financial burdens on the City. Based upon the application of these criteria,
[here were no organizations that were component units.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e.. the statement of net assets and the statement
of changes in net assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City_
' For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements.
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental
revenues, are reported separately from business-iv1)e activities, which rely to a significant
extent on fees and charges for support.

The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to
customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or
segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported
instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial
statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are
reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation '110
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the a(cntal basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and V1
fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows.
Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year in which they are levied. Grants and 1W
similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as
soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available yr
when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities
of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers receivables collected within 60 days
after year-end to be available and recognizes them as revenues of the current year.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.
However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences
and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Mill
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period
are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the
current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available
only when the City receives cash.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The ;eiuval fetid is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government. except those required to be accounted for in another
fund.

The grunts fund accounts for the revenues and expenditures related to Federal, State, and
.. Local grants received by the City with the exception of FEMA reimbursement for
hurricane related expenses_
The capital projects fund accounts for the resources accumulated for the completion of the
five-year capital budget.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The water and sewer junds account for the provision of potable water to residents and the
corresponding sewage disposal, which is supplied by the City of Hollywood, Florida. The
City operates the water treatment facility, water distribution system, sewage drainage
pipelines, and sewage pumping stations.
The stornnwater fluid accounts for the infrastructure and operations of stonnwater
transportation, which is funded through user charges.
it Additionally, the City reports the following fund type:
The internal service fund accounts for the City's Self Insured Health Plan provided to other
departments of the City on a cost reimbursement basis. This fund has been combined into
the general fund.
The pension trust funds account for the activities of the General Employees Retirement
System and the Police & Firefighter's Retirement System. These funds accumulate
resources for pension benefit payments to qualified employees.

Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989,
generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to
the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Government
" Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following .subsequent
private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this
same limitation. The City has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.
As a general rule the effect of inter-fund activity has been eliminated from the government-,vide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City's water and
sewer function and various other functions of the City. Elimination of these charges would
distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include I) charges to customers or applicants for
goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and _ ) capital
Grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are
reported as general rercnue rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues
include all taxes.

4. Restricted Assets (Continued)
Certain gas tax and impact fee revenues of the City's water and sewer funds must be set
aside forcosts associated with improvements to the systems that will provide for increased
capacity as well as the expansion of the system. In addition, revenues have been restricted
for costs associated with sewer system studies. The assets associated with these revenues
have been classified as restricted.
S. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g.,
roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental
or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements_ The City
defines capital assets for property, plant and equipment as assets with an initial, individual
cost of more than $1,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. For
infrastructure assets the City defines capital assets with an initial cost of more than $10.000
and an estimated life in excess of five years. Purchased or constructed assets are recorded
at historical cost or estimated historical cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at
estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are
constructed. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add value to the asset
or materially extend its useful life are not capitalized.
Property, plant and equipment and infrastructure of the City is depreciated using the
straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years

Public domain infrastructure 20-30
Water, Sewer and Stonmwater System 5 —50

6. Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick
pay benefits. An employee may, on an annual basis, or upon termination, cash in a portion of
these unused benefits. Vacation and sick pay benefits are accrued when incurred in the
government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is
reported and recorded in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a
result of employee resignation and retirements. When the liability is liquidated it is expensed
in [he General Fund and the Enterprise fund.

7. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund
financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as
liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary
fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs,
are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line amortization
method. The results of using this method do not differ significantly from the effective
interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or
discount.
In the fund financial statements, govermnental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of
debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are
" reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other
financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds
received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
8. Fund Equity
.� In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance
for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside
parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative
management plans that are subject to change.
9. Deferred Revenues
Deferred Revenues include amounts collected before revenue recognition criteria are met
and receivables, which, under the modified accrual basis of accountim,, are measurable, but
_ not yet available. The deferred items consist primarily of license and permit revenues.
10. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities, revenues and
expenditures/expenses reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes_ These
estimates include assessing the collectibility of receivables, the realization of pension
obligations and the useful lives of capital assets. Although these estimates as well as all
estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may
undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.

r
In addition to insurance provided by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation, all
deposits are held in banking institutions approved by the State Treasurer of the State of Florida
to hold public funds. Under Florida Statutes Chapter 280, Florida Security for Public
Deposits Act, the State Treasurer requires all Florida qualified public depositories to deposit
with the Treasurer or other banking institution eligible collateral. In the event of a failure of a
qualified public depository, the remaining public depositories would be responsible for
covering any resulting losses. Accordingly, all amounts reported as deposits are insured or
collateralized with securities held by the entity or its agent in the entity's name_
Investments
The City is authorized to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, its agencies, 10
instrumentalities and the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund administered by the
State Board of Administration. The investments follow the investment rules defined in
Florida Statutes Chapter 215_ The investment policy defined in the statutes attempts to
promote, through state assistance, the maximization of net interest earnings on invested
surplus funds of local units of governments while limiting the risk to which the funds are
exposed. The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund is governed by Ch. 19-7 of the tyj
Florida Administrative Code, which identifies the Rules of the State Board of Administration.
These rules provide guidance and establish the general operating procedures for the
administration of the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund. Additionally, the Office
of the Auditor General performs the operational audit of the activities and investments of the
State Board of Administration. The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund is not a
registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); however, the Board has
adopted operating procedures consistent with the requirements for a 2a-7 fund.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Plans' investment policy stipulates that not more than 5% of Plan assets can be
invested in the common stock of any one issuing company nor can the aggregate
investment in any one issuing company exceed 5% of the outstanding capital stock of any
company. As of September 30, 2006, the value of each position held by the Plan portfolio
comprised less than 5% of Plan assets and less than 5% of the value of the outstanding
capital stock of the respective company_
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan has investments that are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and
credit risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the
level of uncertainty related to changes in the value- of investment securities, it is at least
reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect balances
and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. The Plan, through its investment
advisor, monitors the Plan's investments and risks associated therewith on a regular basis, 60
which the Plan believes minimizes these risks.

reported, but not settled, and of claims that have been incurred, but not reported. The City
maintains an Internal Service Fund to account for the activities of the health plan. An
independent actuarial report issued annually provided the claims liability of $193,885 at

City Ordinance establishes the contribution requirements of General Employees Plan members
and the City. City employee members are required to contribute 19.74% of their annual
covered salary of which 16.08% is contributed by the City on behalf of the employee. The
City is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate. City and employee
r contributions for fiscal year 2006 were $691.1 10 and $734,060. respectively.

Decrease in net pension asset 21
Net pension asset, beginning of year (1,331)

r
The annual required contribution for the current year was determined based on an October 1,
2005 actuarial valuation date using the frozen entry age actuarial cost method. Significant
�- actuarial assumptions used in the actuarial valuation include (i) a rate of return on the investment
of present and future assets of 8% a year compounded annually, (ii) projected salary increases of
6.5% a year attributable to historical events, including inflation, merit, and seniority, (in) normal
retirement at aie 50, and 25 years of credited service or age 55 and 6 years of credited service
and (iv) no post retirement benefit increases. Both (i) and (ii) include an inflation component of
4%. The actuarial value of assets was determined using techniques that smooth the effects of
r short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a five-year period. The frozen
entry age actuarial cost method, which was used to determine the funding is the same as the
aggregate method when the unfunded liability is zero. The aggregate actuarial cost method does
not identify or separately amortize unfunded actuarial liabilities.

NOTE 11. FLORIDA RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Plan Description
The City elected to participate in the Florida Retirement System (FRS) during the current
fiscal year. All general employees hired after March I, 2006 participate in the FRS, a cost
sharing, multiple-employer, public retirement system controlled by the State Legislature and
administered by the State of Florida Department of Administration, Division of Retirement.
The FRS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and
death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. A post employment health insurance
subsidy is also provided to eligible employees.
Benefits are established by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes and Chapter 22B, Florida
Administrative Code. Amendments to the law can only be made by an act of the Florida
Legislature.
The State of Florida issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial
statement and required supplementary information for the FRS. The latest available report
was for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. That report may be obtained by writing to the
State of Florida Division of Retirement, P.O_ Box 9000. Tallahassee, Florida 32315-9000.
Funding Policy
The FRS funding policy provides for monthly employer contributions at actuarially
.� determined rates that, expressed as percentages of annual covered payroll are adequate to
accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when due (see Plan Description for current rates).
Level percentage of payroll employer contribution rates, established by state law, is
determined using the entry-age actuarial cost method. If an unfunded actuarial liability
reemerges as a result of future plan benefit changes, assumption changes, or methodology
changes, it is assumed any unfunded actuarial liability would be amortized over 30 years,
w using level dollar amounts. Except for gains reserved for rate stabilization, it is anticipated
that future actuarial gains and losses are amortized on a rolling 10% basis, as a level dollar
amount.
The City's contributions to the FRS for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 was
`p46,530.
Plan Benefits
The system provides for vesting of benefits after six years of creditable service_ Employees
are eligible for normal retirement at age 62. Early retirement may be taken any time after six
years of service. If an eligible employee elects to take early retirement there is a 5% benefit
reduction for each year prior to normal retirement. Benefits are computed on the basis of age
and/or years of service, average final compensation and service credit. .Average final
compensation is the average of the five highest fiscal years of earnings. The system also
provides for death and disability benefits.

NOTE I. BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
An annual appropriated budget is prepared for the general fund and the grants fund.
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
(a) The City Manager submits to the Commission a proposed operating budget for the ensuing
.. fiscal year. The operating budget includes appropriations and the means of financing them
with an explanation regarding each expenditure that is not of a routine nature.
(b) Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
(c) Prior to October I, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.
(d) The City Commission, by motion, may make supplemental appropriations for the year up to
the amount of revenues in excess of those estimated. During fiscal year ended September 30,
2006, there were supplemental appropriations in the general fund, and the grants fund of
S475,557, and $110,64 1, respectively.
.. (e) Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device for the general
fund.
(f) The budgets for the general fund and grants fund are adopted on a basis consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), except for certain unbudgeted
expenditures of prior year reserves.
" (g) The City Manager is authorized to transfer part or all of an encumbered appropriation balance
within departments within a fund; however, any revisions that alter the total appropriations of
any department or fund must be approved by the City Commission. The classification detail
at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations is at the department level.
�- NOTE 2. EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES OVER APPROPRIATIONS
The City incurred excess expenditures over appropriations of ($2,026.305) and ($4,521) for the
.. administrative department and principal payments. These expenditures were covered by greater
than anticipated revenues_

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial
Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing- Standards
Honorable Mayor, City Commission and City Manager
City of Dania Beach, Florida
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Dania Beach, Florida (the City) as of and for the
fiscal year ended September 30. 2006, and have issued our report thereon dated December 8, 2006. We
did not audit the Pension Trust Fund for Police Officers and Firefighters, which represents 65% and 55%n,
respectively, of the assets and revenues of the aggregate remaining fund information. Those financial
statements were audited by another auditor whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Pension Trust Fund for the Police Officers
and Firefighters, is based solely on the report of the other auditor. Our report herein does not address their
respective internal control. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditin, standards generally
accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting in
order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting. Our
consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in
the internal control that might be material weaknesses_ A material weakness is a reportable condition in
which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a
relative low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material
in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period
by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters
involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material
weaknesses.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
.. provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.

and revenues of the aggregate remaining fund information. Those financial statements were audited by
another auditor whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for the Pension Trust Fund for the Police Officers and Firefighters, is based solely on
the report of the other independent auditor.
We conducted our audit in accordance with United States generally accepted auditing standards, and
Goven7ment Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and OMB

The Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(h)3.), require that we address in the management
letter any findings and recommendations to improve financial management, accounting procedures, and
internal controls. In connection with our audit, we did not have any such findings.
The Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(h)4.), require disclosure in the management letter of
the following matters if not already addressed in the auditor's reports on compliance and internal controls
or schedule of findings or questioned costs and are not clearly in consequential: (1) violations of laws,
rules, regulations, and contractual provisions that have occurred, or are likely to have occurred; (2)
improper or illegal expenditures; (3) improper or inadequate accounting procedures (e.g., the omission of
required disclosures from the financials statements); (4) failures to properly record financial transactions;
— and (5) other inaccuracies, shortages, defalcations, and instances of fraud discovered by, or that come to
the attention of the auditor. Our audit found no matters that were required to be disclosed.
The Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(1)(h)5.), also require that the name or official title and
legal authority for the primary government and each component unit of the reporting entity be disclosed in
the management letter, unless disclosed in the notes of the financial statements. The City of Dania Beach,
Florida was incorporated on November 30, 1904. There are no component units related to the City.
As required by the Rules of the Auditor General (Section 10.554(l)(h)6.a.), a statement must be included
as to whether or not the local government entity has met one or more of the conditions described in
Section 218.503(l), Florida Statutes. In connection with our audit, we determined that the City, did not
meet any of the conditions described in Section 218.503(l), Florida Statutes.

financial report for the City for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, filed with the Florida
Department of Financial Services pursuant to Section 218.32(I)(a), Florida Statutes, is in agreement with
the annual financial audit report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.
As required by the Rules of the Auditor General (Sections 10.554(h)6.c. and 10.556(7), we applied
financial assessment procedures. It is management's responsibility to monitor the entity's financial
condition, and our financial condition assessment was based in part on representations made by
management and the review of financial information provided by same. The assessment was done as of
the fiscal year end. There were no findings that identified deteriorating financial conditions.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants on Compliance with
Requirements Applicable to Each Major Program and on Internal Control Over
Compliance in Accordance with OMB Circular A-133
Honorable Mayor, City Commission and City Manager
City of Dania Beach, Florida
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of the City of Dania Beach, Florida (the City) with the types of
compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133
r Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2006. The City of Dania Beach, Florida's major federal programs are identified in the
summary of auditors' results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs.
r Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its
major federal programs is the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the City's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of
States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance
with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect
on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the
City's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures, as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the City's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the City of Dania Beach, Florida, complied, in all material respects, with the requirements
.. referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2006.

Internal Control Over Comp]iance
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
r compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs.
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over compliance with
requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine
.. our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on
the internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133.
Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the
internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a reportable condition in
which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a
relatively low level the risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations,
contracts and grants caused by error or fraud that would be material in relation to a major federal program
being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of
r
performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over compliance
and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.

Scope of Services
Permitting and Final Design Services
Broward County ICWW/Dania Canal Deepening Project
This scope of services describes our proposed permitting and final design services in
support of the proposed deepening of portions of the Intracoastal Waterway(ICWW)and Dania
Canal in Broward County. The proposed project would excavate the channels from their existing
depths to a depth of-17 ft Mean Low Water(MLW), representing a -15 R MLW project depth,
plus an additional 2 ft allowable overdeplh dredging. Within the ICWW, the project area extends
from the 171°Street Causeway immediately north of Port Everglades(approximately Cut B W-49,
station 26+50)northward approximately 14,000 ft to a point about 4,000 ft north of the Las Olas
Blvd. (S.R. 842) Bridge (Cut BW-37, station 0+00). Within the Dania Canal, the project area
begins at the western edge of the Port property about 3,750 ft southwest of the canal's
intersection with the ICWW and extends southwest about 4,500 ft to the U.S. Highway 1 bridge
over the canal. Specific tasks are described below:
Task 1: Field Investigations—Taylor Engineering will direct field investigations of the project's
channel segments as needed to define present conditions within and adjacent to the proposed
dredging areas. (Note: Given the present uncertainty regarding the nature of the placement
sitelcontaininent facility, as well as the division of responsibility between Pori Everglades
Authority and the FIND for its design and construction, as FIND directed, the Aeld investigations
focus only on the =Rosed channel drpdgiey are Each investigation will be performed by
specialized subconsultants as described below:
La. Hydrographic Survey—Taylor Engineering will direct and coordinate a hydrographic
survey of the project channel segments. The hydrographic survey will be sufficient to allow the
design of the deepening project (dredging template) and the calculation of required dredging
volumes. The survey will include a minimum of three longitudinal lines — one following the
authorized centerline of the channels and two offset 50 ft on either side of the centerlines.Taylor
Engineering will provide information needed to define the channel centerlines, as well as the
Waterway's cuts and stationing. The survey will also include cross-sections at 200 ft intervals
that extend a minimum of 100 R on either side of the centerlines. If a bridge fender, bulkhead,
dock, or other structure lies within 100 ft of the channel centerline;the survey will locate the near
edge of that structure. The survey will also provide additional cross-sections to define areas of
rapid changes in depth (e.g., localized shoaling), should such areas be encountered. Within the
Dania Canal, the survey will locate the apparent Mean High Water shoreline, No formal tidal
study will be performed as part of this survey.
All elevations will be referenced to Mean Low Water, based on the most appropriate
established NOS or FDEP tidal station. Horizontal and vertical control will be referenced to
established benchmarks and tied to the State Plane Coordinate System, Florida East Zone,NAD
1983.
The final survey depicting spot elevations and 1-ft contour intervals will be provided in
both hardeopy and digital format (AutoCAD 2000 or later). The drawing files will preserve the
true Florida State Plane Coordinate System without translation or rotation. Taylor Engineering
will provide up to six (6) sets of final draft survey drawings for review by the FIND and others
(e.g., Broward County, Port Everglades Authority, etc.), and up to six (6) sets of final survey
drawings,signed and sealed by a Professional Land Surveyor registered in the State of Florida.

1.b. Sub-bottom Profile Survey — Taylor Engineering will direct and coordinate a sub-
bonom profile survey of the project channel segments. Using high-resolution, full spectrum
transducer technology, this survey will be sufficient to preliminarily locate the top surface of a
likely rock layer within and immediately below the dredging prism, and to locate additional core
borings (Subsurface Geoleehnical Survey, below) to more fully investigate the rock layer. The
survey profiles will follow the same longitudinal lines described above for the hydrographic
survey (channel centerlines plus two lines offset 50 ft on either side). The survey results will be
presented graphically,with elevations of the top of rock tidally corrected and referenced to MLW.
I.e. Subsurface Geolechnical Survey — Taylor Engineering will direct and coordinate a
subsurface gcotechnical survey of the project channel segments. The survey will include a
uniform grid(500 ft longitudinal spacing,alternating sides of channel)of 40 Standard Penetration
Test (SPT) core-bottom profile survey of the project area, including 30 cores within the ICWW
project segment and 10 within the Dania Canal project segment. The survey will also include up
to 20 additional cores that reflect the results of the sub-bottom profile survey and are intended to
more fully define the location, extents, and elevation of rock within or immediately below the
dredging prism. All borings will extend to -18.0 ft MLW or 1 ft below the dredging limit. In
addition, all borings that encounter rock within the dredging prism (i.e., above -17.0 ft MLW)
will extend an additional 4.0 ft below the uppermost rock surface to obtain sufficient core length
for testing, to facilitate the contractors' understanding of the rock stratum, and to guide the
contractors'selection of the most appropriate method for its removal.
Information from the core borings will include core boring logs with SPT blow counts,
photographs of the rock cores, and laboratory data including grain-size distributions for each
unconsolidated stratum,unconfined compressive strength(UCS)test results for each testable rock
core,and rock quality designation(RQD)for each rock core.
Ld Natural Resource Survey — Taylor Engineering will direct and coordinate a
preliminary submerged natural resource survey within and adjacent to the proposed dredging
areas.The submerged natural resources survey will locate and identify sensitive natural resources,
particularly seagrasscs and hardbottom, in the proposed deepening project areas. A complete
survey effort will require two steps: a preliminary survey to locate natural resources areas, and a
detailed delineation (measurement and location of the patch or bed and characterization). The
project area is known habitat for the endangered Johnson's Seagrass (Halophila Johnsonti), the
presence of which may require additional survey effort, The preliminary survey described below
provides the most cost-effective means to identify submerged natural resources and to follow the
recommended approach for preliminary survey of Johnson's Seagrass. The recommended
preliminary survey work will provide the data necessary to define and cost a detailed delineation
effort.
Discussions with representatives of the West Palm Beach FDEP District office and the
Tallahassee headquarters of the FDEP indicated that a preliminary video survey would be
acceptable, especially given safety and logistics issues involved with putting divers in the water
in a heavily traveled channel. Preliminary survey and detailed survey data for seagrass have time-
limited value because of the rapidity with which seagrass cover may change. The FDEP
representatives indicated that a preliminary survey conducted late in the seagrass growing season
would likely, but not certainly, be acceptable through the next seagrass growing season.. This
suggests that preliminary survey data collected through September 2005 would be valid for
guiding design of a detailed seagrass survey to occur during the 2006 seagrass growing season..
Detailed delineation data also have a short period of validity. Taylor Engineering experience
suggests that if dredging occurs more than one year following completion of the detailed seagrass
Page 58
ATTACHMENT A
survey, the regulatory agencies would likely (but not necessarily) require
seagrass delineation immediately before dredging. another detailed
The preliminary natural resources survey will follow longitudinal transects offset 25 ft,
75 ft, and 125 ft on either side of the ICW W channel centerline (a total of six transects), The
Dania Canal survey will follow longitudinal transects offset 25 ft and up to 75 It from the Dania
Canal centerline (a total of four transects). Real-time, difTerentially corrected global positioning
system (GPS) equipment will be used to record survey tracks and locate the submerged natural
resource along the survey tracks. This preliminary survey will also serve as the visual
reconnaissance survey recommended by the National Marine Fisheries Service's Final Recovery
Plan for Johnson's Seagrass (Halophila johnsonti). Surveyor observations will serve to
qualitatively characterize (type of resource, species relative density, etc.) each identified natural
resource.
Deliverables for this effort will include a report describing the survey area, methods,
level of accuracy, and general findings including maps (developed in ArcGiS) depicting natural
resource locations.
In the event that the survey encounters seagrasses or hard bottom, the regulatory agencies
will require delineation and quantitative surveys of the natural resources. Since the Ieve1 of effort
for such detailed surveys will depend on the extent of observed resources, we cannot presently
determine an accurate cost for the detailed survey. Upon receipt and review of the preliminary
survey results, Taylor Engineering will submit a supplemental proposal for a detailed natural
resources survey, including, if required, approved methodologies for surveying Johnson's
seagrass.
l.e. Magnetometer Survey—Taylor Engineering will direct and coordinate a submerged
cultural resource (magnetometer) survey of the project channel segments. The magnetometer
survey will be sufficient to locate significant ferrous metal artifacts within and adjacent to the
dredging prism. The survey lines will follow the same longitudinal lines described above for the
hydrographic survey (channel centerlines plus two lines offset 50 ft on either aide), 8�14 two
additional linos offset 100 ft on either side of the centerline for a total of five survey lines. In
areas of the Dania Canal less than 200 ft wide, the outer lines will parallel the centerline but
remain a safe navigable distance from the canal's shoreline.
The results of the magnetometer survey will be reviewed and interpreted by a qualified
marine archeologist. All magnetic anomalies will be located horizontally within the State Plane
coordinate system established by the project hydrographic survey. All methods and results of the
magnetometer survey will be presented in a written report, along with recommendations for
follow-up documentation or recovery work that reflects consultation with the Florida Department
of State, Division of Historical Resources.[Note.' This scope does not Include field verification of
any magnetic anomalies. If the magnetometer survey,Jinds any anomalies that require further
investigation, eve will prepare a separate proposal based on speak survey requirements.)
Task 2r Preliminary Design—Based on the results of Task 1 and subject to the review
and approval of the FIND, Taylor Engineering will develop the preliminary design of the
dredging template as needed to prepare and submit permit applications.The preliminary design of
the dredging template will include plan area, cross-sections, wideness, total required dredging
volume,and the estimated volume of rock that lies within the dredging template.
Page 59
ATTACHMENT A
[Note: This task addresses only the preliminary design of the dredging template and, as
directed, does not address the preliminary design of the placemew site%ontalnment facility,]
2.b. Prepare and Submit Permit Drawings — Taylor Engineering will then prepare and
submit all preliminary permit drawings to the FIND for review, comment, and revision as
necessary.
Task 3: Permitting — Based on the data collected during Task i and the preliminary
project design developed in Task 2, Taylor Engineering will prepare and submit a joint
Environmental Resource Permit application to the FDEP. The permitting task described here
assumes that the work of Task I identified no submerged natural resource impacts. Task 4
describes the additional work necessary in the case that Task I.d, work identifies natural resource
impacts. (Note:As slated above, this scope of services, as directed, addresses only the dredging
template within the project's channel segments. We anticipate that information regarding the
proposed placement site%ontalnment facility to be Included in the Joint environmental resource
permit application will be limited to the site's generalized location within the port and
assurances that the facility will be designed to meet all applicable water quality and stormwater
control standards. Experience suggests that the agencies may consider this 11mited preliminary
design Information selcient to accept the permit application as complete. However, the
agencies'final issuance of the permit will likely remain contingent on their receipt and approval
of the final design information for the placement site%ontalnment facility. J Specific subtasks
within Task 3 include the following:
3.a. Pre-application Meeting — Taylor Engineering will prepare for and attend one
separate pre-application meeting with each the FDEP and the USACE to identify and discuss
issues that will affect review of the permit application.
3.b. Joint Environmental Resource Permit(ERP)Application Preparation and Submittal
—Based on the data collected during Task I and the preliminary project design developed in Task
2, Taylor Engineering will prepare and submit an ERP application to the FDEP and the USACE.
We will prepare the drawings needed for the permit application package. in addition to the permit
drawings, the application package will include narratives describing (1) the overall project and
design, (2)the proposed dredging area, and (3) the proposed dredged material management area
and operation (with the limitations described above). Subject to the results of the natural
resources survey (Task l.d.), the permit narrative may also describe (4)the location of sensitive
natural resources, (5) the environmental impact analysis and results, and (6) the proposed
mitigation. Taylor Engineering will actively consult and coordinate with state and federal
agencies during review of the permit application package,
3.c. Request for Additional Information (RAI) Response and Submittal— Following the
submission of the permit application, both the FDEP and the USACE will likely respond with a
Request for Additional Information (RAI). RAIs typically comprise a series of questions
requiring additional explanation of the proposed project work. Accordingly, our cost estimate
includes one limited RAI response per agency— consisting of clarifications of environmental
and engineering issues—to the permit application(not to exceed a total of 145 man-hours).
Task 4: Impact Analysis and Conceptual Mitigation Design(Optional, to reflect the
results of the Task l.d.Natural Resources Survey):
If the preliminary natural resources survey identifies impacts to submerged resources,
Taylor Engineering will complete the following additional work,described in three subtasks:
Page 60
ATPACHMENT A
4a. Natural Resources Impact Evaluation and Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method
(UM44 Analysis—if the proposed project results in impacts to protected natural resources, state
and federal regulatory agencies will require compensatory mitigation to offset the impacts. We
will overlay the proposed channel deepening boundaries on the digital maps and information
developed during the submerged natural resources survey in Task 1 and any subsequent detailed
survey to quantify impact areas. We will apply the FDEP UMAM analysis to determine the
appropriate level of mitigation for the proposed project,
41. Conceptual Mitigation Design — Mitigation, particularly for seagrass, may prove
difficult for this project due to siting constraints within the highly developed project vicinity.
Additionally, the project may require a relatively complex mitigation plan if the project impacts
multiple natural resources (e.g. seagrass, hardbottom, etc.).The results from the natural resources
impact evaluation and UMAM analysis will provide the basis for development of a conceptual
mitigation plan. We will develop a conceptual mitigation plan in consultation with state and
federal regulatory agencies (FDEP and USACE). Once the FDEP and USACE concur with the
proposed conceptual mitigation plan, we will submit a specific scope of work and cost proposal
for final mitigation design services.
4.c Project Stakeholder Coordination— The project area, located in a highly developed
region, contains overlapping federal, state,and local jurisdictions. Project impacts may require a
relatively complex mitigation design to satisfy the various stakeholder objectives..Accordingly,
this proposal includes a budget for coordination with the various project stakeholders.
Stakeholders for this project may include(but are not limited to):
• FIND
• FDEP
• USACE
• Broward County
• Port Everglades Authority
• NMFS
• USFWS
• Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission(FWC)
• U.S.Coast Guard
• Various Environmental Interest Groups
Task S: Final Design —Taylor Engineering will prepare all final design drawings and
technical specifications needed to fully define the project's dredging template, advertise the
project for bids, solicit responsive bids from qualified contractors, and guide the selected
contractor through construction of the dredging template.(Note:As deflned above, the proposed
project consists of two primary design elements: (1) the dredging template and(2)the placement
site%ontainment facility. This task addresses only the dredging template. As noted above,
Issuance of the project's permits and constructing the project will remain contingent on
completing all final design elements for the proposed placement site%ontainment facility.]
Specific final design elements for the dredging template will include the following:
• Dredging Plan Area and Cross-sections — Taylor Engineering will prepare final
channel design geometry including plan area, cross-sections, and possible wideners,
consistent with established USACE-designated dredging cuts and stationing, as well
Pago 61
ATTACHMENT A
as work areas limits, and proximate environmental and cultural resources, as
appropriate.
• Calculation of Final Required Dredging Volume—Taylor Engineering will prepare
all final estimates of required dredging volume, and will differentiate the volume of
rock to be dredged from the volume of unconsolidated sediments.
S.a. Final Draft Construction Drawings—Taylor Engineering will prepare Microstation-
based digital construction drawings for the dredging template. As appropriate, the plan set will
include photo-based sheets depicting the project areas. We will obtain existing aerial photography
for this purpose. These drawings will provide planview and cross sections of the dredging
template. Taylor Engineering will provide final draft construction plans for review to the FIND
(and,as directed by the FIND,to the USACE).
S.b. Specifrcallons—Taylor Engineering will prepare Division 2 Technical Specifications
for the construction of the dredging template. We will follow USACE standards and guidelines in
preparing the specifications and supply them to the FIND in both paper and Specslntact digital
format. [Note: We assume that the FIND will provide a template for Division I (General
Requirements) in its approved format. Our Scope includes time for limited edlting of the FIND's
Division I template to ensure that all language and references remain consistent with Division
2.]
S.c. USACE Review — As directed by the FIND, Taylor Engineering will submit Final
Draft versions of all construction documents to the Jacksonville District, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, for review(with a defined review schedule)and comment.
S.d. Final Construction Documents — Based on comments received, we will revise the
documents as directed by the FIND and submit final document seta to the FIND and the USACE
in appropriate hard-copy format.and in digital (Microstation) format, as wall as record drawings
signed and sealed by a Registered Professional Engineer.
END OF SCOPE—
Given the uncertainties regarding several project elements, most notably the dredged
material placement site/containmant basin and the project's construction schedule, our proposed
Scope of Services ends with submittal of the Final Design drawing and technical specifications as
required to define construction of the project's dredging template. if the FMD would like our
involvement to continue through the remaining elements of the project's design phase(i.e., final
design of the Project's placement sitelcontainment basin), as well as bidding administration and
construction phase services, we would appreciate the opportunity to submit an appropriate cost
proposal and Scope of Services at that time.

fought in World War II aerial battles over North Africa, Sicily, and Europe; and
WHEREAS, these gallant men flew 15,553 sorties and 1,578 missions. They were
reverently referred to as "Black Redtail Angels" because of their reputation of not losing
bombers or other aircraft they escorted to enemy fighters; and
WHEREAS, for every Black pilot, there were 12 other civilian or military Black men
and women performing ground support duties. Many of these men and women remained in the
military service during the post-World War II era and spearheaded the integration of the Armed
Forces of the United States; and
WHEREAS, Lt. Col. Leo R. Gray, USAF (Ret), an Original Tuskegee Airman, along

Minutes of Regular Meeting 3
Dania Beach City Commission

receiving prior information from the City Manager. She requested the details of the case in
writing, as well as staff recommendations, to be presented to the Commission at the next
meeting.
Commissioner Bertino commented it would be difficult to give a rebate on leaks on his side of

refined.

DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPROVAL TO ALLOW AN ENCLOSED
AUTOMOBILE SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT IN A "C-3" (COMMERCIAL) ZONING DISTRICT;
PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER,PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Resolution#2007-050.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, noted this is the old laundry building
located at the corner of NW 3`d Street and Federal Highway. The property is currently zoned C-
3, and will be located in the pending TOD Zoning District, and the CRA District. He indicated
staff supports this type of use because: 1) the site is located at the extreme north end of the CRA,
2) it abuts an existing service station, and 3) the site is occupied by a 40+year functionally
obsolete building designed and built to accommodate a commercial laundry. The applicant has
stated that this will be a high-end luxury vehicle repair shop. The Planning and Zoning Board
recommended approval, subject to conditions. The applicant has been asked to meet certain
requirements before the building is occupied. Mr. Leeds commented that the applicant has
submitted a revised site plan showing landscaping and a revised driveway location which may
require FDOT approval. He clarified that he did not believe this site was a superfund site, and
the applicant has informed staff that it has been cleaned.
Mayor Flury opened the Public Hearing.
John Shapiro, applicant, noted their business is building and maintaining race cars and
restoration of high-end luxury and sports cars. He advised that half of the building will be used
as a showroom. Mr. Shapiro further indicated they have completed Phase I of the cleanup. He
clarified for the Commission that no test driving of vehicles will take place outside the building.
Tim McLeod, 261 SW 4ch Street, supported this project. He noted the building has been a blight
for many years, and the upgrade to this building will make a good entryway into the City.
Teddy Bohanan, 312 SW 15`h Street, commented they have a car repair and paint shop near her
home. She wants someone in the City to take care of it. She indicated that strict rules need to be
in place before this type of use is allowed.
Seeing as there was no one else to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Flury closed the Public
Hearing.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 7
Dania Beach City Commission
Wednesday,March 14,2007—7:00 p.m.
Director Leeds clarified for Commissioner Bertino that there is a section of the Code that allows
automobile service establishments by Special Exception within a C-3 District. He does not
believe this is a used car lot and used car sales business. Mr. Leeds further noted this is a
restoration facility.
City Attorney Ansbro clarified this is not a used car lot. He suggested adding a condition to the
approval stating that only high-end cars could be sold at this facility.
Mayor Flury thought a showroom with high-end cars would enhance the property. She

THE VARIANCE REQUEST SUBMITTED BY ROBERT ROFFEY ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY
OWNER ROLANDO BALANCE, FROM CHAPTER 28, "ZONING", ARTICLE 4, "DISTRICT
REGULATIONS", "SCHEDULE OF LOT, YARD AND BULK REGULATIONS", FOR PROPERTY LOCATED
AT 2600 EAST MARINA DRIVE (RAVENSWOOD ESTATES MOBILE HOME PARK), IN THE CITY OF
DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Resolution #2007-051.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, showed the location of the property and
noted this was a mobile home prior to the hurricane. The contractor submitted plans last year for
a replacement mobile home, however he did not follow the approved plans and a violation was
identified as part of the final zoning inspection. He indicated the contractor is now requesting an
after-the-fact variance to allow the mobile home to remain in its current location. The Planning
and Zoning Board was impressed because the contractor acknowledged the mistake. The
Building Official indicated he had no objection to the request and there are no code violations.
Director Leeds commented there have been no complaints from the adjoining property owners.
Mayor Flury opened the Public Hearing.
Rolando Balance, property owner, noted the contractor made a mistake. He does not want the
mobile home moved. He spoke to his neighbors and they do not have any objections.
Director Leeds responded for Commissioner Bertino that the Homeowners' Association has not
given an opinion on this issue.

Dania Beach City Commission
Wednesday,March 14,2007—7:00 p.m.
Mr. Balance indicated that the Association sees it as an improvement to the area.
Robert Roffey, Contractor, noted the back of the house is within the setback, only the front of the
house is not.
Pat Tyra, 2912 SW 54`h Street, Estates of Fort Lauderdale, commented a sub-committee heard
the request, but the Board has not voted on the issue yet. She requested that future developments
within their community be noticed to the Homeowners' Association.
Seeing as there was no one to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Flury closed the Public
Hearing.
Commissioner Bertino made a motion to continue this item until we receive a recommendation
from the Homeowners' Association.
Commissioner Castro commented this was a fee simple lot. She thought they should not need
approval of the association.
Commissioner Bertino noted that it is compulsory that neighbors in that area belong to the
Homeowners' Association and abide by their rules and regulations.
The motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Roffey advised that the home was completely finished in January, 2007.
Director Leeds advised he was contacted by Kathryn Sadjak of the Estates of Fort Lauderdale.
He noted they will be notified in the future if they provide an address.
Mr. Roffey indicated he notified the association as soon as they realized the mistake. They were
told the Estates of Ft. Lauderdale does not have any setback rules.

Minutes of Regular Meeting 9
Dania Beach City Commission
Wednesday, March 14,2007—7:00 p.m.
Corinne Lajoie, AICP, Principal City Planner, advised the applicant is requesting a parking
variance to convert an existing duplex to a Title Office, with four parking spaces. She noted the
property is located behind IHOP and the zoning will change to TOC-2 under the proposed
Zoning Code. The applicant has advised that only two employees will work at the site, and that
additional parking can be provided offsite on property owned by the applicant.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, responded for Mayor Flury that if the
residents in the property stay home, there would not be enough parking.
Ms. Lajoie noted the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval with conditions.
Director Leeds commented that if the property next door is sold we could have a parking
problem. We have to rely on the applicant to agree to maintain these conditions.
Mayor Flury opened the Public Hearing.
City Attorney Ansbro suggested preparing a Unity of Title to combine the two properties and the
applicant would not be able to sell it unless the City Commission releases it.
Lisa Krumsieck, property owner, agreed to the proposal.
Joe Van Eron, 1500 SW 2Id Avenue, commented he served on the Traffic Advisory Board and
this is the biggest traffic problem street in the area.
Seeing as there was no one else to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Flury closed the Public
Hearing.
Commissioner Bertino commented that a Title company does not generate traffic. He thought
this is a positive step for this property.
Commissioner Bertino motioned to adopt Resolution #2007-052, provided the applicant file
a Unity of Title, and with the Planning and Zoning Board conditions; seconded by
Commissioner Castro. The motion carried on the following 4-0 Roll Call vote:
Commissioner Bertino Yes Commissioner Fetscher Yes

Minutes of Regular Meeting 10
Dania Beach City Commission
Wednesday, March 14,2007—7:00 p.m.
Louis Mercado, City Planner, advised that the request is for the installation of a stealth cell
antenna which is allowed by Special Exception under IG Zoning. The property is located near
the U-Store-It facility, and it is south of the north runway. The antenna would be 64 feet above
ground level and would not interfere with air traffic. He confirmed for the Commission that
there will not be a flag located on the antenna.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, indicated that staff had a problem with
the flag because it needs to be lit at night. The applicant was asked to provide a revised
presentation that shows no flag.
Mr. Mercado noted that the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval subject to
engineering review and conformance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 77
requirements for height.
Mayor Flury opened the Public Hearing.
Andrew Przybysz, representing Sprint Nextel Corporation, clarified that the pole is the same as
the one at the Fire Station on Dania Beach Boulevard, without the flag. He further noted that
they cannot have a flag because the American Flag needs to be lit at night. One of the concerns
of the Planning and Zoning Board was the lighting of the flag. Mr. Przybysz agreed to install a
lit flag, if the Commission so wished.
Seeing as there was no one to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Flury closed the Public
Hearing.
Commissioner Castro would like to have the flag and lights included, provided the FAA has no
objections.
Director Leeds stated that the applicant needed to provide drawings that everyone could
understand. He also noted that the FAA does not usually comment on the lighting details. We
could ask the FAA, but he did not think they would comment.
Commissioner Bertino suggested continuing this item to the next meeting, so the applicant can
bring back revised drawings showing the base, the flag, and the proposed lighting system.
Commissioner Bertino motioned to continue Resolution #2007-053 until the March 27,2007
City Commission meeting at 7:00 p.m.; seconded by Commissioner Fetscher. The motion
carried on the following 4-0 Roll Call vote:

SEPARATING BUSINESS, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY FROM RESIDENTIAL
PROPERTY", AND CHAPTER 28, ARTICLE 6.21 "OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS", FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 20 SW 15Tu STREET, DANIA BEACH; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS;
FURTHER,PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
City Attorney Ansbro read the titles of Resolution#2007-054 and Resolution#2007-055 because
they pertain to the same property.
Laurence Leeds, Director of Community Development, advised the request is to construct an
office building and showed the location of the property. He noted this is a vacant lot that is
zoned commercial, and it allows both office and retail uses. The property is included in the
proposed TOC-2 Zoning District. The applicant has complied with all the conditions. The
Planning and Zoning Board, as well as staff recommended approval subject to conditions.
Director Leeds clarified that there would be a sign from the parking lot stating "East Bound Exit
Only -No Left Turn".
Mayor Flury opened the Public Hearing.
Joe Van Eton, 1500 SW 2"d Avenue, commented this began in January, and the neighborhood
and neighbors were not involved in the process. They are concerned that they cannot stop it
from being used as a commercial property. He presented a photo of how the property has looked
for several years. Mr. Van Eron also indicated that the building is too big and the wall is too
high. He thought the owner was arrogant and greedy and recommended the applicant take down
the wall, re-landscape the area, and make the building smaller.
Roger Handovik, 206 SE 3`d Place, was concerned that the proposed building would be too close
to the existing building and that a variance should not be given on greenspace. He further noted
that the parking lot is too tight and it would be difficult to navigate.
Teddy Bohanan, 312 SW 151h Street, was concerned with drugs and bums. She referenced a wall
that needed to be removed because it was drug infested. Ms. Bohanan believed this would
produce the same problem. She noted that a drug dealer who recently died lived on this lot.
Robert Rock, 225 SW 15'h Street, commented he has been living in the area for the past 25 years
and will share the gateway with this property. He indicated the owner has been thumbing his
nose to the neighborhood for several years. The owner allows several trucks to park illegally and
stay overnight. Mr. Rock also commented on the landscape review and the changes to be made.
He asked the Commission to deny the variance request and commented that the property owner
has not been a good neighbor.
Director Leeds noted the referenced tree was extremely hazardous, in poor condition and needed
to be taken down.
Barbara Bullock, 25 SW 15`h Street, thought that the building would be gorgeous, but she was
concerned with parking. She would like the building to be smaller with parking underneath.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 12
Dania Beach City Commission
Wednesday, March 14,2007-7:00 p.m.
Tim McLeod, 261 SW 4`h Street, noted the space behind the building was addressed at the
Planning and Zoning Board. He thought we needed business in Dania Beach and this would be
an improvement to the neighborhood.
A business owner at 1218 S. Federal Highway commented that anything we can do for business
in Dania Beach is good. He noted he owns a small business and asked not to have the streets
closed because it hurts businesses in the area.
Annette Hibbits, 26 SW I Vh Street, commented traffic is a problem. She thought the building
was an asset on Federal Highway.
Bob Adams, 330 SE 3`d Terrace, noted the complaints are the vacant lot, vagrancy and drug use,
however, this project would be an improvement to the neighborhood.
Robert Charm, 118 Phippen Road #3, agreed with Bob Adams and suggested moving forward
with this request.
B.J. Cobb, 248 SW 6 h Street, noted this would be an improvement and would help clean up the
area.
Seeing as there was no one to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Flury closed the Public
Hearing.
Dante Silva, owner of the property lives in Hallandale. He owned the property in front of this lot
for 12 years.
Phil Fortney, General Contractor for the project, noted he has lived in Dania Beach for 45 years.
He acknowledged the building would help eliminate the drug problem. Mr. Fortney indicated
they have adequate parking for the building. He commented on the width of the building and
noted that if the variance was not granted the inside of the building would be 11 feet 4 inches
wide. They offered to help the neighbor next door to clear his property. Mr. Fortney also stated
that they offered to place plants on the west side of the fence so the neighbors would not have to
look at the 6 foot wall.
Commissioner Castro was worried about the criminal element and people hiding behind walls.
She questioned if the five feet could be a fence and landscape.
Director Leeds indicated that the Commission has the discretion to require a fence or a wall
between commercial and residential zoning, but it does not need to be a requirement. He noted
that if the variance is approved there would only be a single row of trees and hedges that will fit
into the five feet area. He suggested a vinyl coated chain link fence with landscaping as a
substitute.
It was the consensus of the Commission to have the applicant install a chain link fence with
landscaping, with no wall or hedges.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 13
Dania Beach City Commission
Wednesday, March 14,2007—7:00 p.m.
Commissioner Castro motioned to adopt Resolution #2007-054, without the wall and with a

10.1 Commissioner Bertino
Commissioner Bertino congratulated the winners of the election. He was disappointed to see
such a poor voter turnout and added we need to do something to increase the percentage of
people voting in our municipal election.

vehicles. He requested this matter be discussed at the upcoming budget session.

Commissioner Castro would like staff to prepare a report on requirements to move City elections
to November. She thought we would have a better voter turnout and it would also be less
expensive.
Commissioner Castro commented on the Part 150 Noise Contours meeting being held at
Broward County tonight. She noted they will discuss finding some tools to mitigate noise
impact. Commissioner Castro thanked Vice-Mayor Anton, the Melaleuca Gardens
Homeowners' Association and Griffin Road Association for attending this important meeting.
10.3 Commissioner Fetscher
Commissioner Fetscher said it has been a novel experience watching government from the
inside. He commented that if you want people to become part of government, you need to make
government less pontificating and take more action. Commissioner Fetscher thanked everyone
for the opportunity to serve the City and added he would be happy to resume his position on the
Planning and Zoning Board.
10.4 Vice-Mayor Anton
Vice-Mayor Anton was not present for this portion of the meeting.
10.5 Mayor Flury
Mayor Flury noticed some graffiti on the light poles near Olsen Middle School. She would like
staff to look into this matter.
Mayor Flury questioned the status of her request to conduct a new Residents' survey.
City Manager Pato advised the last survey was done in 2005. He spoke with the company the
City hired at the time and they think anything less than three years would be too soon to get a
different response.
Mayor Flury indicated there are some areas that are in need of improvement. She would like to
have it done again this year.
City Manager Pato commented they may need to look for a different approach. He thought the
company would probably send out the same survey, since only a few areas can be modified.
Mayor Flury noted the survey is to measure performance and the questions should be the same.
Commissioner Castro suggested changing the questions that are no longer applicable and include
new ones.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 15
Dania Beach City Commission

appoint Vice-Mayor Jones, as the Alternate.
11.2 Discussion of the number of days the Dania Beach Seniors may use the I.T. Parker
Community Center with fees waived—Commissioner Castro
Commissioner Castro commented there is a limit on the number of days the fee can be waived
for the Dania Beach Seniors to use the I.T. Parker Community Center. She wondered if the
access could be expanded by a few more days per month.
Mayor Flury noted that the I.T. Parker Advisory Board addressed this matter at their last meeting
and approval for additional use was granted.
Kristen Jones, Director of Parks and Recreation, advised that the best time for the Seniors to use
the facility would be Monday—Thursday, since they usually have events scheduled on weekends.
The Commission generally agreed to expand the hours for the Dania Beach Seniors to use the
I.T. Parker Community Center, provided it does not conflict with the Park's schedule and that it
does not interfere with any revenue paying customers.
Commissioner Bertino requested the City Manager look for grant funds from different
government organizations to build a Senior Citizens Center.

York address it is still mailing notices to the Dania Beach address. He indicated Mr. Glezelis
removed the items from the empty lot before he received notice of the violation. Attorney
Hippler requested the Commission reduce the fine to less than the recommended $5,000 due to
the lack of severity of the violation.
John Glezelis, property owner, noted he purchased the property in 2005 to build a retirement
home. Unfortunately, due to his health, he has been unable to do so.

Internal Memorandum
To: Dania Beach Commission
From: Colin Donnelly, Asst. City Manager
Date: March 20, 2007
Subject: Marina Restroom Project
The rehabilitation of the marina restrooms was a design build project. Upon review
of the winning bid submitted by Mr. Frank Hill, I noticed the design did not meet
the stated future needs as specified by the City Manager for the marina and beach.
Nor did the plan address any of the ideas put forth by the Marine Advisory Board in
their needs analysis for the marina. Additionally, City building standards for the
finished floor elevations made the plan troublesome. To summarize, the following
item were deficient with the proposed plan:
• The plan did not account for the dockmaster
• The office space did not have a visual line of sight to the marina slips
• The plan did not provide for showers for marina patrons. The showers were
mixed in with the office space.
• The new storage building would have to have been 2' 7" above grade to meet
the City's finished floor requirement of being 1' above the FEMA flood level.
This would have required a large loading ramp.
1
City Commission Memorandum
Marina Restroom Project
The revised plan provides for the following:
• Separate office for the dockmaster and locker room for the beach life guards
• Showers for marina patrons that allow for off hours access
• At-grade storage that allows for vehicle entry
• Dockmaster's office looks out upon the marina slips
• Replace wood decking on southwest portion of building with concrete
• No change in the space or number of plumbing fixture of public restroom
• Increased cost of$18,490.00
The additional costs are itemized in the change order which is attached and made
part of the resolution. The additional costs are the results of adding four feet to the
proposed storage building and making it into office space. With the additional cost
of the improvements, the contract amount is $27,000 less than the next lowest bid for
the project. When completed, the new structure will be attached to the existing
building and both structures will appear as one building.

Re: Dania Jai Alai Quit Claim Deed for 5th Avenue Vacated Property.
Dear Tom:
On January 23, 2007 pursuant to Resolution No. 2007-011, the Dania Beach City
Commission conveyed to The Aragon Group, Inc. ("Aragon"), the western 35 feet of the
unimproved N E 5"i Avenue located between East Dania Beach Boulevard and NE 2'd Street (the
"Parcel"). The Parcel was originally conveyed by predecessors in interest to Aragon to the City
of Dania Beach by two deeds recorded in Official Records Book 3744, Page 126 on September
3, 1968 and Official Records Book 5491, Page 891 on October 5, 1968. Because the Parcel was
originally conveyed by deed, Aragon's title company is requesting that the City convey the
Parcel to Aragon also by deed.
We are respectfully requesting that the City Commission pass a Resolution authorizing
that a Quit Claim Deed be conveyed to Aragon to clear the title issues on the Parcel. We are
attaching a draft Resolution and Quit Claim Deed for your review.
If you have any questions,please do not hesitate to contact me at (954) 468-1391.
Sincerely,

Orginal appropriation of$30,000 is not enough to pay for the resurfacing of the Meli Park parking area.

There is a difference between the budgeted amount and the actual cost to resurface the Meli Park parking surface. The
difference in cost is due to the following:
The area to resurface is greater than initial estimate
More parking striping is now required
The increase in the cost of petroleum derivatives has greatly increased over the past few years
The product being used is of superior quality and cost more than the initial of seal coating. The procedure to be used is
called Micro Surfacing. It is a heavier product, which adds to the useful life of resurfacing by 3-5 years.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Ivan Pato, City Manager Memo: DF-07-14
VIA: Patricia Varney, Director of Finance
FROM: Nicki Satterfield, Assistant Finance Director
DATE: March 20, 2007
SUBJECT: Parking Fine Ordinance Revisions
A memo was received January 26, 2007, from the Broward County Sheriffs Office
with an attached memo from the Clerk of the Circuit Court. As a result of a recent legal
opinion the Criminal Justice Education Fee of $2.50 which had been previously mandated
by the county and added to our parking citation fines has been rescinded.
Due to the revocation of this fee, Chapter 6 and Chapter 25 of the City Code of
Ordinances require revisions. After speaking with the Clerk of the Court we do not have to
change our City ordinance with each statutory fee the County adds to our fines. Chapter 6
and Chapter 25 will now reflect only the actual violation the city imposes for the parking
violation. Any future additional fees added to the citations which are mandated by the
County will not have to be changed in the City ordinances. This will only require an
administrative change in the parking enforcement procedures.

Current Well Locations —The two wells are labeled H (north) and G (South). The G well is drilled to
65 ft. It has chlorides between 30 and 100 mg/l. The H well is drilled to a similar depth. However it
has chlorides that have exceeded 300 mg/I. Both wells had construction issues at one time
(unsealed casing). Once the casings were fixed, the saltwater issue arose. It should be noted that
the open hole depth is 5 ft in G, and 3 ft in H, which also may be a problem. Open holes of at least
20 ft. are suggested and will be evaluated.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Commission
CC: Ivan Pato, City Manager
Larry Leeds, Community Development Director
Pansy Warick, Planning
FROM: Thomas J. Ansbro, City Attorney
DATE: March 6, 2007
RE: Proposed Amendments to Chapter 15 ("Licenses") of the City Code Ordinances;
Change of References from "Occupational License" to "Business Tax" and
"Receipt"
In order to comply with amendments made to state law during the 2006 Florida
legislative session, it is necessary to change all references in the City Code of Ordinances and the
Charter, from local "occupational license" to "business tax" and "receipt', as to the document
issued upon payment of the tax. The state law is intended to more accurately identify the
payment as a "tax " on the conducting of business, rather than a "license" or permission to do
business. There is no regulatory authority associated with this tax; it is purely a state authorized
tax allowed to be imposed by county and local governments.
Adoption of this amending ordinance is requested.

CITY OF DANIA BEACH
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
DATE: March 27, 2007
TO: Ivan Pato, City Manager
FROM: Laurence Leeds, AICP, Director C. r✓
SUBJECT: TX-10-07: Susan Delegal, on behalf of the G & G Marine, is
requesting a zoning code text change to allow G & G
Marine to continue shipping operations at 760 NE 7th
Avenue (FIRST READING).
Approximately six months ago, Code Compliance inspected the marine properties
abutting NE 7th Avenue, west of US 1, and north of Dania Cut-Off Canal. This area
has historically been known as Port Laudania.
Numerous building and safety violations were identified at various businesses in this
area (including G & G). While the building/safety violations have been corrected,
most Port Laudania businesses (including G & G) operate in technical violation of
current zoning. Many of these operations have been operating for 25 — 30 years.
The city attorney maintains that businesses must either comply with the current IG
zoning or the IG zoning shall be amended to allow operations historically conducted
on the property.
Along these lines, G & G Marine submitted an IG text amendment which they
believe identifies operations conducted on their site for the last 20+ years. Staff
reviewed G & G's draft, recommending several revisions. The attached revised
ordinance addresses all of staff's concerns with two exceptions:
(a) G & G wishes to stack containers 4 high on the principal site.
Consistent with past practice, staff recommends no more than 3
containers.
(b) G & G wishes to allow barges (vessels that cannot move under their own
power) up to 250 feet in length.
Staff does not support barges of any size due to the narrow width of the
canal and intensive use by other commercial and residential users.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the ordinance be revised to prohibit barges and limit container
stacking to more than 3 high.
CITY COMMISSION PREVIOUS ACTION
On March 14, 2007 the City Commission continued this item at the applicant's
request.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION
On February 21, 2007 the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval,
including 4-high container stacking (primary site) and permission for barges along
the Cut-Off Canal.

Re- Ordinance Amending I-G Industrial General Zoning District
Proposed Ordinance 2007-003
TX-10-07
Dear Mr. Leeds.
The above referenced item will appear on the City Commission agenda of March
27, 2007 to be considered for first reading. The purpose of this letter is to provide
additional information to the City Commission for its consideration on three issues.
First, an issue of discussion is the use of a "barge" in connection with the business
activities of G&G Shipping. As you have indicated in your memorandum to the
Commission dated March 14, 2007, a barge is a vessel that cannot move under its own
power. The term "barge" often brings to mind a broad; flat platform that moves various
types of materials. The barge owned by G&G Shipping and used in its business is
entirely different as can be seen from the attached photograph of the barge known as the
Bahama Pride. You will note that the vessel certainly Looks more like a ship 'than a barge
as one might commonly envision. This barge forms an integral part of the transportation
business of G&G Shipping and it is extremely important to G&G's operation that this
barge be permitted to remain on the premises. The Planning and Zoning Board
00005 R4.DOC v.1 3l21i2007 0553 PM',
unanimously recommended the ordinance including docking of ships and barges not over
250 feet as a permitted use. We request that the docking of the barge remain a permitted
use under the ordinance.
Second, the Planning and Zoning Board approved the stacking of containers four
(4) high not to exceed forty (40) feet in height. You have requested that the Commission
approve stacking up to three (3) high. It is necessary to the operation of G&G's business
to stack up to four (4) containers high not to exceed forty (40) feet in height and we ask
the Commission to approve this request and keep this provision in the ordinance as
written..
Third, an issue was raised at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting regarding
the hours of outdoor operation. The Planning and Zoning Board unanimously
recommended the ordinance including a limitation on the hours of outdoor operation
from 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. The concern addressed by the Planning and Zoning Board
was that stacking of containers can be a noisy endeavor and the goal of the provision was
to reduce noise impacts during the night and early morning. We respectfully request that
the ordinance be amended to change the limitation from "hours of operation" to "stacking
of containers." There are other activities necessary to G&G's operation at times after
10:00 p.m and before 8:00 a. m. which do not cause noise. For example, it is necessary
that G&G be able to receive ships that may come to port at hours other than those
included in the limitations of the ordinance, and to perform other work on the premises
not generating noise. The concern, as we understand it, is that the stacking activities
requiring the use of a crane to stack containers upon one another is the activity which
generates noise objected to by certain residents of the City. For that reason, we request
that the Commission approve an amendment to the ordinance before it. We request that
the language of the third sentence under (m)(3) on page 2 be changed to read: "Stacking
of containers may only occur fromm 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m."
Please let me know if there is any further information that"ve can provide to you.
Sincerely,
Susan F. Delegal

a• DBTHRNINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION ++
The Federal Aviation Administration has completed an aeronautical study under
the provisions of 49 U.S.C. , Section 44718 and, if applicable, Title 14 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
Structure: Antenna - Side Mount on a Flagpole
Location: Dania, FL
Latitude: 26-4-28.83 N NAD 83
Longitude: 80-7-51.90 W
Heights: 59 feet above ground level (AOL)
65 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the structure would have no substantial
adverse effect on the safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace
by aircraft or on the operation of air navigation facilities. Therefore,
pursuant to the authority delegated to me, it is hereby determined that the
structure would not be a hazard to air navigation provided the following
condition(s) Ware) met:
As a condition to this Determination, the structure is marked and/or
lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1 AC 70/7460-1K Change
1, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, red lights - Chapters 4, 5(Red) , &12
It is required that the enclosed FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction
or Alteration, be completed and returned to this office any time the project is
abandoned or:
_ At least 10 days prior to start of construction
(7460-2, Part I)
_X_ Within 5 days after the construction reaches its greatest height
(7460-2, Part II)
To coordinate frequency activation and verify that no interference is caused
to FAA facilities, prior to beginning any transmission from the site you must
contact Pin Williams at 305 526-2177.
See attachment for additional condition(s) or information.
This determination expires on 07/15/2008 unless:
(a) extended, revised or terminated by the issuing office.
(b) the construction is subject to the licensing authority of
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and an
application for a construction permit has been filed, as
required by the FCC, within 6 months of the date of this
determination. In such case, the determination expires on
Page 1
the date prescribea by the FCC for completion of
construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.
NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION
MUST BE POSTMARKED OR DELIVERED TO THIS OFFICE AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE
EXPIRATION DATE.
This determination is subject to review if an interested party files a petition
that is received by the FAA on or before February 14, 2007. In the event a
petition for review is filed, it must contain a full statement of the basis upon
which it is made and be submitted in triplicate to the Manager, Airspace and
Rules Division - Room 423, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence
Ave, Washington, D.C. 20591.
This determination becomes final on February 24, 2007 unless a petition is
timely filed. In which case, this determination will not become final pending
disposition of the petition. Interested parties will be notified of the grant
of any review. For any questions regarding your petition, please contact Office
of Airspace and Rules via telephone -- 202-267-8783 - or facsimile 202-267-9328.
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which
includes specific coordinates, heights, frequency(ion) and power. Any changes
in coordinates, heights, and frequencies or use of greater power will void this
determination. Any future construction or alteration, including increase to
heights, power, or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice
to the FAA.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes,
derricks, etc. , which may be used during actual construction of the structure.
However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as indicated above.
Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires
separate notice to the FAA.
This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe and
efficient use of navigable airspace by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor
Of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or regulation of
any Federal, State, or local government body.
This aeronautical study considered and analyzed the impact on existing and
Proposed arrival, departure, and an route procedures for aircraft operating
under both visual flight rules and instrument flight rulesp the impact on all
existing and planned public-use airports, military airports and aeronautical
facilities; and the cumulative impact resulting from the studied structure when
combined with the impact of other existing or proposed structures. The study
disclosed that the described structure would have no substantial adverse effect
on air navigation.
An account of the study findings, aeronautical objections received by the FAA
during the study (if any) , and the basis for the FAA's decision in this matter
can be found on the following page(a) .
A copy of this determination will be forwarded to the Federal Communications
Commission if the structure is subject to their licensing authority.

Details of the proposed structure were circularized for public comment. There
were no letters of objection received during the comment period.
The proposed structure proximity to the airport was considered and found to be
acceptable.
The impact on arrival, departure and an route procedures for aircraft operating
under VFR/IFR conditions at existing and planned public use and military
airports, as well an aeronautical facilities, was considered during the analysis
of this structure. The aeronautical study disclosed that the structure, at a
height of 65 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) , would have no adverse effect upon
any terminal or an route instrument procedure or altitude.
The cumulative impact (IFR/VFR) resulting for the structure, when combined with
the impact of other existing or proposed structures was considered and found to
be acceptable
Therefore, it is determined that the proposed structure would not have a
substantial adverse effect on the safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace by aircraft or on any navigation facility and would not be a hazard to
air navigation.

RE: SPRINT/NEXTEL
APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION
- --. SITE#FL2629FLAPSEAS'- 202bNE9*AVEN[W- -
Dear Members of The Planning and Zoning Board and The City Commission:
I am writing to you as agent on behalf of our client Sprint/Nextel(Sprint). Sprint is a wireless
communications provider licensed to provide services throughout the State of Florida ACO
Property Advisors, Inc. is representing Sprint in their site acquisition and zoning work to
improve their network throughout Southeast Florida
As you know, Sprint is interested in constructing a 64' stealth flagpole wireless
communications monopole at 2010 NE 9s'Avenue, in Dania Beach. We are applying for a
special exception as required per Section 33-308 (3) "Stealth towers or stealth rooftop and
building mounted antennas shall be allowed as special exceptions in the, f. (IG) Industrial
General zoning district. We are requesting an advisory review by the planning and zoning
board and authorization by the city commission of our special exception use and would
request that we be scheduled to present at the next meeting.
Enclosed in this package is a check for the special exception fee of$3,275.00 and 10 packages
each including a copy of this cover letter, a completed application form, an engineers report
including a structural letter, pictures of existing stealth flagpole wireless communications
towers, a statement of non-interference, a full set of plans including a survey and landscape
plan, a redacted copy of the lease and propagation maps, one with the proposed site and one
without the proposed site.
We offer the following explanations on how the installation will comply with the 14 required
criteria for a special exception use:
(1) The use is permitted in the industrial District by Special Exception.
(2) The use will not cause a detrimental impact to the value of existing contiguous uses as
the stealth flagpole wireless communication tower will be located on the property which
current has a storage facility on it and abuts property owned by Hertz, Port Everglades
Commerce Center, a parcel currerttly used to store vehicles and trailers, and backs up to the
Mangrove Preservation Area.However Sprint/Nextel's lease area is on the other side of the U-
Store-It property closest to the Port Everglades Commerce Center property (please see the
enclosed plans).
(3) The use will be compatible with the existing uses on contiguous property,with uses in
the general area and the zoning district where the use is to be located and compatible with the
general character of the area, considering population density,design, scale and orientation of
structures to the area, property values and existing similar uses and zoning. As far as
Population density, that has no effect on the placement of Sprint/Nextel's equipment except
for the fad that d m is a gap in coverage as displayed on the before and after coverage maps.
Sprint/Nextel is proposing a stealth flagpole wireless communications monopole in an effort
to decrease the visual effect of the monopole. Due to the proximity to the airport
Sprint/Nextel is limited by the FAA as to the allowable height of the flagpole. The stealth
flagpole wireless telecommunications monopole_will,have_no negan'ye effect on property_
_..._ _
gal— YTe prape�tl+is zoned Lrdustrial General and Wireless Communications Towers are
allowed by Special Permit. The surrounding uses are a storage facility, a land preserve, and
rental car facilities.
(4) On page CO2 of the attached plans the landscaping and screening are shown as per the
zoning chapter.
(S) Adequate parking and loading are provided This is an unmanned location which will
be visited for maintenance,once constructed,every one and a half months.
(6) The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
(7) The use will not have a detrimental environmental impact upon contiguous properties
and upon properties located in the general area This site will provide better coverage in the
area for Sprint/Nextel subscribers and will therefore provide E-911 services to those needing
help.
(8) The use will not generate any traffic therefore this criterion is not applicable.
(9) The use will not generate any traffic therefore this criterion is not applicable.
(10) The use will not have a detrimental effect on the future development of contiguous
properties or the general area as it will not cause any changes to any property other than the
property the stealth flagpole wireless telecommunications monopole will be constructed on.
(11) The use will not result in the creation of incompatible noise, lights, vibrations, fumes,
odors,dust or physical activities, taking into account existing uses,uses located on contiguous
properties, uses in the general area and the zoning in the vicinity due to its nature, duration,
direction or character. A stealth flagpole wireless communications monopole will not create
or cause any of the items mentioned above. The surrounding uses are commercial.
The facility will
sere require no plumbing or water and a small electric and telephone
service and therefore will not be an overburden for existing public services and facilities.
(13) There is existing sufficient accessibility to the property for fare, police, rescue and
other essential public services.
(14) The use is consistent with the definition of a special exception and will meet the
standards and criteria of the zoning classification in which such use is proposed to be located,
and all other requirements for this use set forth the zoning code,or otherwise adopted by the
city commission.
I am looking forward to discussing our application further. If you have any questions or
concerns between now and then please contact me at (518) 4416016. Thank you for your
consideration and prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Ryan P.Conway
