Guest: Mike McCloskey
NEW BUSINESS:
Mike McCloskey reported on boat thefts occurring in West Dania. Mike Grady was one of the unfortunate
people who had his boat stolen. His boat was recovered in West Dade County.
Mike McCloskey was on a three week surveillance operation which involved cruising the canals,walking
on residents docks and back yards. No alarms or lights went on while he was doing this and no one knew
he was there. Mike feels that people have become apathetic and thieves do not see a deterent. He would
like to promote public awareness by placing an article in the Dania Press suggesting boat owners to have
better lighting around their boats/docks and/or motion detectors. Glenn will push to have this article
placed in the paper. Mike also suggested using the Sun Sentinel and the Miami Herald. Glenn advised
that a BSO substation and firehouse are to be built in the near future. This may also help with the problem
in this area.
Clive Taylor reported on the dock setback ordinance. Basically the public did not like the ordinance. The
majority of the commission felt this ordinance could promote a lawsuit and does not want to incur the
expenses. Clive informed us that the Fence Ordinance was passed.
Glenn reported on the beach renourishment. Currently,Hallendale Beach is being worked on, The project
is already two weeks behind. Dania Beach will take about one week for the renourishment,which should
• happen in July or August. Broward County has run out of useable sand. The sand is now being delivered
on barges. We will also have new huts put on the beach
Glenn welcomed new and old board members. This was the first meeting of the new board.
Clive was unanimously voted in as our chairperson.
