3. CRA Update
Jeremy Earle, CRA Director, reported that he attended the Annual Florida Redevelopment
Association (FRA) Conference in Tampa where they discussed several redevelopment issues.
Director Earle indicated that they encouraged CRA's to look for additional funding sources and
how to operate in the current economic climate. He was pleased to advise that we are already
implementing some of the main economic development incentives that they recommended.
Director Earle further asked CRA Attorney Mike Moskowitz to brief the Board on last week's
meeting with Broward County representative Cynthia Chambers.
Vice-Chairman Castro arrived at 6:05 p.m.
Mike Moskowitz, Special Counsel for the CRA, noted that he and Director Earle met with
Cynthia Chambers regarding the status of the $6.3M loan to grant funds. He indicated that the
County agreed with the proposal recommended by Director Earle which was discussed at length
at the October 8, 2008 CRA regular meeting. Attorney Moskowitz said that today he sent a
Memorandum to Ms. Chambers staring the essential terms of their discussion. He advised that
he will meet with Bertha Henry, Broward County Administrator, to make her aware of the
County's agreement to the City's proposal. Attorney Moskowitz will also make sure our District
County Commissioner and the other Commissioners are on board.
Director Earle confirmed that last Friday he submitted the packet for the grant portion of the
funds to Cynthia Chambers. He said that he received a response from a developer for the 109
Park parcel, and distributed copies of the proposal to the Board members for their review.
4. CRA Presentation—Jim Carras
James Carras, Carras Community Investment, Inc., noted he is assembling three applications for
the City. The first application is for a Brownfield Assessment Grant to be submitted to the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by Friday, November 14. He explained that the
Brownfield Assessment Grants provide funds to inventory, characterize, assess and conduct
planning and community involvement related to Brownfield sites. Mr. Carras further noted the
applicants may request up to $200,000 over a three year period, for hazardous substances, and up
to $200,000 for petroleum sites, for a total not to exceed $400,000. The second application is for
a State of Florida Brownfield Areas application. He advised our goal is to apply for the State to
designate the new CPA area as a Brownfield area for the purpose of environmental remediation
rehabilitation and economic redevelopment. Mr. Carras pointed out that we would be entitled to
several benefits if we are awarded this grant, including a tax refund of $25,000 for each new
project that takes place within the Brownfield area. Lastly, he noted that the third application is
for the New Markets Tax Credits Program.
Vice-Chairman Castro would like staff to have the various incentive programs linked together so
we maximize all of our return in everything we are doing. She further spoke about the SHIP
program and the importance of getting the County Commission involved so we can get some
more benefits.
Chairman Jones asked Director Earle to look at the escheated properties from Broward County to
see if they can be included in the Brownfield area.
Vice-Chairman Castro clarified we have identified some Brownfield sites within the City.
Mr. Carras noted the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund, of the US
Department of Treasury, created a New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program which allows
taxpayers to receive a credit against Federal income taxes for making qualified equity
investments in designated Community Development Entities (CDE's). Substantially all of the
qualified equity investment must in turn be used by the CDE to provide investments in low-
income communities. He explained how the CDE works and the requirements to qualify to
Minutes of Regular Meeting 2
City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency
Monday,November 10,2008—6:00 p.m.
receive awards under the NMTC Program. Mr. Carras stated that the credit provided to the
investor totals 39 percent of the cost of the investment and is claimed over a seven-year credit
allowance period. He pointed out that this is an extremely competitive and convoluted
application. Mr. Carras recommended the City submit its application in conjunction with other
CRA's since CDFI would give preference to regional or county-wide applications.
Commissioner Flury asked for clarification on the process explained by Mr. Carras.
Mr. Carras responded that developers are taking a market risk for their development projects. He
noted they can invest in a business, or a real estate project. Mr. Carras remarked that they cannot
invest 100% in affordable housing and added that this relates more to economic development
than housing.
Commissioner Flury noted that we should not be pursuing affordable housing, because we have
more than our share.
Mr. Carras clarified that the focus of the program is primarily for commercial uses and economic
development; affordable housing is an allowed use, but it is not a requirement. He confirmed
that the tax credit is a subsidy to the developer for creating economic opportunities in a
redevelopment area.
Further discussion followed between the Board and Mr. Carras regarding the advantages to the
City if the application is approved.
Mr. Carras advised that the City must select an advisory board with 5-7 members, whose
members must live within the designated area, or have a business in the area, or be a
representative for the area, or a non-profit organization that serves that specific area. He noted
that once the board is created, we would complete the application to be submitted to the
Department of the Treasury to become a certified CDE. Mr. Carras advised that he has not seen
small municipalities receive a CDE on their own and that if cities want to submit a joint
application, they should prepare an operating agreement stating the way they would like funds to
be distributed in an equitable way. He noted this program has been in operation for seven years
and it is part of the government economic stimulus package. Mr. Carras pointed out that one of
the benefits of creating our own CDE is that if there is a deal in Dania Beach they could sub-
allocate and we could become part of the deal. He reiterated that a regional approach may be
more appropriate for a CDE allocation.
Director Earle responded for Vice-Chairman Castro that the Green meeting that he attended was
very helpful and informative. He believes that we should set up a "Green Board"under the City
Commission which would allow us to implement many of the "green" options available. He
indicated there were also State funds available for green projects.
Vice-Chairman Castro addressed the grass along Federal Highway which is embedding in the
sidewalk. She suggested the City maintain the area, as opposed to the property owners, so that
landscaping is consistent throughout the City.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 3
City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency
Monday,November 10,2008—6:00 p.m.
Commissioner Bertino suggested the type of palms installed by FDOT in the medians could be
installed along the sidewalks on both sides of Federal Highway.
Director Earle noted this is part of the conceptual landscape plan which will be addressed in the
CRA Plan for the beautification of the Federal Highway Corridor.
Commissioner Flury stressed the fact that it is the City's responsibility to maintain the grass area,
not the business owners.
The Board concurred that the City should maintain the grass area on both sides of Federal
Highway, and suggested that the grass be removed to improve the look of the area.
Vice-Chairman Castro requested the following item be added to the next CRA regular meeting
agenda: "Extension of Director Earle's contract and salary adjustment".
Dominic Orlando, Director of Public Services, provided an update on the Library project. He
noted the bid packet should be ready this week for re-submittal to the County for further review.
Director Orlando advised that the earliest we could break ground would be in the first quarter of
next year.
Commissioner Bertino would like the Library to have a large electrical service to provide for
future computer needs.

Memo
To: CRA Board
From: Jeremy Eerie, Executive Director
CC:
Date: 12/30/2008
Re: CRA Year End Summary Report
Greetings Community Redevelopment Agency Board members,
I wanted to take this time to thank you for all of your support over the past 8 months of my tenure here
at the Community Redevelopment Agency. Without your generosity in funding this agency and your
support we would never have accomplished the many remarkable things that we have in such a short
period of time. Below are some of the highlights of what we have been able to accomplish over the
past 8 months together:
1. You created a new vision and mission statement for the City of Dania Beach which we have been
able to use successfully to market our City as being progressive, pro-development and pro-
business.
2. We have taken the steps to expand the boundaries of the CRA by conducting a Findings of
Necessity that was officially approved by the City Commission and which will be transmitted to
Broward County shortly. In the process of doing this we have sought to include within the
expanded CRA, the neighborhoods of Sun Garden Isles, Dania Beach Heights and College
Gardens which should have been included within our boundaries from day one.
3. We applied to the EPA for brownfield site assessment grant dollars which can be used to provide
incentives for development and redevelopment within our city.
4. You approved a Brownfield Area designation for the entire expanded CRA boundary that could
potentially provide millions of dollars in state and federal incentives for development and
redevelopment within our city.
5. We formed very strong partnerships with the Chamber of Commerce, Smart Growth Partnership
(who is currently in the process of putting together a grant application on our behalf for a study of
the West Side of town), MIASF and countless others. Through our strong partnerships with other
cities and CRA's we have been able to leverage resources that we would not have been able to if
we were trying to redevelop by ourselves. I believe that by careful cultivation of our partnerships
we will be able to do so much more over the next few years.
6. We have worked tirelessly to promote the City of Dania Beach. I am now getting phone calls from
people across the region including developers who are making mention of our redevelopment
plans and the new positive image that we are beginning to promote.
7. We have embarked on a major modification of our redevelopment plan which should be the guide
for redevelopment over the next 30 years. This implementation plan should be completed by
March of 2009.
8. We are in the process of identifying scores of new grants and funding opportunities for the CRA
and the City of Dania Beach as a part of the implementation and finance portion of our
redevelopment plan.
1
9. We have begun the process of rebranding ourselves as a successful agency by creating our own
website and CRA Logo. A few developers have expressed their opinion that our CRA website
needs to do more; I wholeheartedly agree with them and over the next few months we will be
rolling out a new website that will be full of information about our CRA and potential development
opportunities within our City. As the old saying goes,"perception is everything."
10. We hosted a Developers meeting in October at which we had 14 developers from across South
Florida come and take a look at Dania Beach. One of those Developers who attended that
meeting has returned and asked to submit a proposal on the Parcel 109 project. He will present
his proposal at the February 0 CRA Board meeting for your comments.
11. We have conducted cost estimates and done conceptual bridge design for the US-1 Bridge, FEC
Bridge, Old Griffin Road Bridge and Dania Beach Blvd Bridge. We are now going to begin the
process of seeking outside funding for their construction on a bridge by bridge basis. We might
start with the Dania Beach Blvd bridge first for example.
12. We are in the process of completing an Economic Benefit Analysis which is a highly anticipated
report that will allow us to make a case for the expansion of the marine industry and by default our
tax base here in this city. Various governmental agencies have expressed an interest in our
redevelopment plan,especially the raising of the bridges and the creation of a projected 2,500 new
marine related jobs which would be a result of raising the bridges. Some agencies have already
said that they could find funds for us to do some of the work on the bridges. We hope to leverage
their resources with the resources of the State and Federal Government to see all of these things
come to fruition
13. We have created CRA Bylaws as required by State Statute. Additionally we have created some
initial Procurement Policies and Procedures for the agency to follow.
14. We are now in the process of conducting a parking study which will set the tone for the creation of
a payment in lieu system down the road. This payment in lieu system will be another source of
revenue for the City of Dania Beach and will ultimately help us with our parking needs by funding
new parking facilities.
15. We have conducted over 15 meetings with community residents and leaders, business owners,
developers and elected officials in order to provide more input and promote greater ownership by
the community of the redevelopment process.
16. We have begun to take the steps necessary to bring property owners together to the table in order
to find ways in which they either sell to or partner with developers who are interested in
redeveloping our downtown area.
17. We will make our inifial submission of our new Regional Activity Center Land Use designation for
the area within the extended CRA Boundaries in January. By making these changes we are
setting the stage for property owners and the marine industry to be able to develop and redevelop
in a more streamlined and less time intensive way while providing tremendous flexibility.
18. We are in the process of applying to become a Community Development Entity (CDE), which is
another source of potential incentives that we might be able to use to encourage development and
redevelopment.
19. We have begun the process of working with City Staff of looking for ways to streamline our
permitting and approval process in order to be able to fast track certain development projects.This
step alone is one of the major non monetary incentives that we can offer a developer.
• Page 2
As you can see,vve have accomplished a lot together over the past few months; so much of it seems to
be a blur because we have been doing so many things simultaneously but there is much more work to
be done. One of the most important things that we can take great pride in is the level of excitement
shown by many in the community that things are beginning to happen and that change is around the
corner. We have all worked hard to seemingly do the impossible such as find a developer in these
horrible market conditions who wishes to partner with us based on what he has seen and heard of
Dania Beach over the past 8 months. Your support and the support of the community have made d all
Possible.

Memo
TO: CRA Board
From: Jeremy Earle, Executive Director

Date: 12/31/08
Re: CRA Contracts and Expenses
Greetings Community Redevelopment Agency Board members,
As you are aware, there is some house keeping that we need to do in order to make sure that our
financials are in order. 1 am attaching to this memo some contracts and expenses that need to either
be amended or approved. Every amendment to the amounts below can be funded within our current
budget; as of 12/31/0 we h 4 I i g 8 had$60, 50 eft n our budget for consultants.
In our October CRA Board meeting, I mentioned that Michele Mellgren and team are beginning the
steps necessary to create a Regional Activity Center Land Use here within the City of Dania Beach.
This land use designation will help to encourage the development of the marine industry as well as
other types of development. As approved in October Michele's contract was for$11,500, this amount
needs to be amended to include an additional $3000 to account for additional meetings that Michele
will need to attend on our behalf with various agencies as we promote our redevelopment plans-Total
amount$3,000.
Michele Mellgren's staff has also done a great job in helping to send mailings to everyone within the
expanded CRA Boundary over the past few months. Those expenses need to be approved separately
by the board. Michele's total expenditure to date for additional mailings for the CRA meetings that were
not anticipated in her original contract amount to $1,052.75 and $2,498.64 respectively for a total of
$3551.39.Total$3551.39.
IBI Group Inc. is currently working with us on the Signage Master Plan for the CRA, therefore you will
need to officially approve their additional contract for the conceptual bridge design work that we are
going to show to FDOT and Various other agencies for$15,000 plus an additional$2000 for extra work
that they put into having 50 graphical boards at the December 18"'community meeting. Total$17,000.
Kimley Hom and Associates(KHA) has been working diligently on the Parking Study. Representatives
from KHA and I spent quite a bit of additional time with the Parking Manager from the City of Delray
Beach getting as much information as we could on their Payment in Lieu system. I'm sure you recall
that one of the things that we plan to do this year is to set up a Payment in Lieu system for the City of
Dania Beach that will become an additional source of revenue as well as pay for additional parking.
KHA's out of pocket expenses for doing the additional research, meeting with Delray Beach in addition
to researching the payment in lieu system for three other municipalities is$4,000. Total$4,000.
Thanks again for your continued support,

additional encumbrance of$61,100; $24,600 for IBR Group, $25,000 for Integra and $11,500 for Michele. So
your available balance that we discussed earlier is no longer$121,550. It will be reduced by $61,100, to an
