DISCUSSION CONCERNING NEGOTIATIONS WITH COUNTY ON AIRPORT EXPANSION
5,
Acting City Manager Jewell presented a staff report concerning the
fiscal impact to the City of Dania due to the proposed expansion of
the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport. Mr. Jewell
stressed the loss of revenue from several revenue producing items
as described in the attached report.
City Engineer Farina stepped forward to explain that the City will
be losing some 300 acres of land to the county. He expressed his
concern for the loss of water lines that will be removed due to re-
locating U.S. q1 and the Port Expressway. Mr. Farina suggested that
'the City request the County to install a new water line facility
around and along the East boundary of the newly located U.S. #I, so
that the City would have the capacity to serve the remainder of Dania
for utilities, and to be certain that this facility provide the same
amount of water as the existing facitlity. Mr. Farina informed the
Commission that he would have an evaluation of this cost in a few
days. He also stated that he has not evaluated the loss of revenue
from sewer service.
After lengthy discussion, the Commission agreed to have Mayor Bertino
represent the City of Dania at the County concerning this matter and
inform them 'on the issues that were discussed to .see what the county
will do to resolve some of the loss that the City of Dania will suffer.
After Mayor Bertino has met with the County, a meeting will be set to „
report back to the Commission before the public hearing on January 27,
1982, in Fort Lauderdale. eR-COMA ISSIONER

SaWECT: STAFF REPORT CONCERNING FISCAL IMPACT TO CITY OF DANIA
DUE TO PROPOSED EXPANSION OF FTL/HWD INT. AIRPORT
VA.E: DECEMBER 15,1981
The report presented to the South Florida Regional .Planning Council by it's
staff, at their meeting on ' December 7, 1981, did very little to address the
fiscal impact to the .City of Dania. Their only mention of fiscal impact was
that of Ad Valorem Taxes (page 23).
Planning Council staff utilized a 70% figure of an assessed property value
c' $42.6 million, at a millage.rate.of 6.3170, to illustrate a revenue loss
to the City of Dania of $188,000.00. -
It is our contention a.70% factor should not be used. Florida Statute requires
len.d b assessed at 100% of Market Value, therefore, the millage rate of
6.317 3hcul, be applied to 100% of the assessed property value of $42.6
ri;li�r . This would represent a net loss to the city in Ad Valorem Taxes of
or - of the Total General Fund Budget for FY 81-82.
F=r ermore, the Planning Council Staff failed to mention many revenue
pr= ^g ite:,,s in which.we feel are very important. I would like to address
th__� items individually.
1. Beverage Licenses Fees
These are fees paid to the State of Florida, of which approx-
mately 40% is returned to the Cities. Utilizing an actual
print-out .furnished by the .State of Florida, businesses in the
affected area pay $9,615. annually to the State. This would
represent a revenue loss to the city in the amount of $3,846.
(40% of $9,615.)., ,
2. Occupational Licenses
Utilizing actual figures furnished by our Building Department,
net loss to the city in Occupational Licenses fees will be
$37,388.. This represents approximately 241 of the $155,000. we
have projected for Occupational Licenses Fees Revenue for
FY 81-82.

3. Utility Taxes
Although it is very difficult .to 'determine the exact loss
in Utility Tax, this item is a large Revenue-Producer for
the city. Utilizing a very conservative figure of 10%
(for bargaining purposes), net revenue. loss to the city will
be $78,000. (10% of projected $780,000.).
We feel 10% is conservative, as-Ad Valorem Loss is 15%
($269,000. of $1,753,521.), Occupational Loss is 24%
$37,388. of $155,000.),: and Beverage License Loss is
18% ($3,846. of $21,006.).• '
4. Franchise Fees
Again, utilizing 10%. Franchise Fee loss will be approximately
S40,020. (10% of $400,200.)..
5. Cicarette Tax
Net Loss estimated at $3,750. (10% of $37,500.)..
6. Gas Tax Rebate
;et Loss estimated.at $300. (10% of $3,000.). Remember,
r. aadition to Service Stations located .in affected area,
a, ority of the Rental Car Agencies have their own gas
csos.
Utility Assessments
The General Fund will lose some revenue, as this line item is
based on a percentage of the Water and. Se%ier Budget. As water
and sewer sales are decreased, their budgets decrease, decreasing
their contribution to the General Fund.
;. Sta`e Contribution to Police & Firefighters Pension Fund
These revenues are based solely on Insurance premiums paid by
residents and businesses. . The revenue loss is unknown(last
year's total was $40,800.).
9. Sale of Water and Sewer
Unable to estimate, 'Gut any revenue loss will definitely not
}` be offset by a reduction of operating cost.

10. Value & Cost of Relocating of Utilities
Mr. Farina will discuss
11. One Cent Sales Tax
If this flies, how much will we lose?
12. Growth--
How much do. we lose in building and other fees when
we lose approximately 300 acres?
In conclusion, I would like to say that this report was' compiled very
gickly, and.it's only intent is to plant seeds, and attempt to paint
a picture of the serious, serious impact- this project will have upon
our city.
Aster discussing this matter with Mr. Ma—rant, it is the recommendation of
St_;f, after receiving direction from you, that a Negotiating.Committee .
be appointed b: you , to meet with Broward County on behalf of the City
of Dania. In addition to one or more of the City Commissioners, and the
Ci_y rianager, the City Attorney and City Engineer should be considered
for a_poir.tm nt to this committee.
