• Chairman Taylor read a memo from Frank Herzhold, Director of Marine Industries, regarding
the FIND Derelict Vessels Program. He thought this funding may be available for the City of
Dania Beach. Chairman Taylor provided the memo to Deputy Riddle.
5. Old Business
Chairman Taylor reported on the Punk Rocks located under the bridge by 595. He said he and
Mike Grady went before the County Board but there was not much interest. He then contacted
Frank Herzhold and told him the problem and he indicated that perhaps they could assist with
some funding. He noted the state and county have jurisdiction and perhaps a letter from the City,
or Marine Advisory Board, be sent to the County, attention John Fiore, requesting they look into
the matter.
6. New Business
Chairman Taylor noted that Hollywood would begin renting non-motorized sailboat spots on the
beach on a trial basis. The City of Ft. Lauderdale also allows this. He thought Dania Beach
might consider this for the north end of the beach.
Chairman Taylor suggested a Life Guard attend the next meeting to discuss the proposal of boat
storage for the beach.
• Gary Rowe suggested the Board study the area to determine the feasibility of the boat turnaround
area and trailer parking before bringing this to the City Commission for action.

County waterways. The Board concurred that this should be brought to the attention of DNR.
