Vice Mayor Mikes presented the ordinance amending the Charter to provide that no further I extension of the lease of the parcel of land composing the Seafair Complex at Dania Beach shall be approved except by an affirmative referendum vote of the electors. Commissioner Bertino expressed his opinion that Commissioners arc elected to govern the City as a representative democracy, and didn't think a referendum was necessary for this specific item. He suggested to change the ordinance to include all public facilities not just the beach area if referendums are the form of 1 government required. Vice Mayor Mikes expressed the need for the citizens of Dania to make the decision on what happens to the beach property and the need to carefully review the upcoming Seafair Lease extension which expires in March 1993. Commissioner Hyde felt that by requiring a referendum election for any business who may want to lease the beach property would send out a very negative message and the City may be far worse off than they are now J with no one wanting to lease the property.
