SEVENTH STREET FORT LAUDERDALE FL 33301 Re: Engagement of Services; City of Dania Beach; Proposed Annexations Dear Mr. Klenet: This will constitute a letter of engagement by the City of Dania Beach, Florida (the "City") for your services, as the services are described below. Russ Klenet & Associates ("RKA"), with you as the individual performing the services, agrees to work at the direction of the City, directly through the City Manager, on issues including, but not limited to, annexation, appropriations and other governmental concerns that the City may have with respect to the 2000 Florida Legislative Session. RKA will review all legislation filed for that Session and forward those deemed of significance to the City for comment and review. RKA will also use its best efforts to identify and help to secure funding and grant opportunities for the City. RKA will present those opportunities, after approval by the City Manager, to both the Broward County Commission and the Broward County Legislative Delegation (the "Delegation") for consideration and support. Further, and principally, RKA will represent the City before the Delegation on all issues relating to the annexation of unincorporated areas that the City wishes to annex. In connection with the foregoing representation, RKA agrees to assist the City in preparing for, and will attend (with City representatives), public hearings before the Broward County Commission and the Delegation and to meet with Delegation members, government officials, affected citizens and business owners to help the City to submit annexation proposals which will ultimately be acceptable to the Delegation, before the Delegation convenes in the State Capitol for the Spring, 2000 Florida Legislative Session. As of this writing, the City's annexation proposals are intended to include the area known as the "Pond Apple Slough", but to exclude the "Wheelabrator" Waste-to-Energy Broward County site and the Florida Power and Light substation.

"Expenses" shall mean only those costs expressly approved by the City Manager, in advance, when deemed by him to be in the best interests of the City, and shall exclude all costs associated with travel, vehicle expenses and lodging of any kind.
