Board Member Flury Yes Chairman Jones Yes
3. CRA Update
Jeremy Earle, CRA Director, noted he met with Broward County staff last Friday, together with
Vice-Chairman Castro, CRA Counsel Mike Moskowitz and Broward County Commissioner
John Rodstrom, to negotiate the best possible deal for the$6.3M loan to grant funds.
Michael Moskowitz, Special Counsel for the CRA, noted that last Friday's meeting with the
County was critical. He advised that the items discussed at this meeting will be before the
Broward County Commission on February 24, 2009. Attorney Moskowitz explained that the
two projects identified for the SUM are the reimbursement for parcel 109 and the parking
garage. He clarified that the parking garage is scheduled for approval on February 24, while the
reimbursement for parcel 109 is scheduled for discussion. Attorney Moskowitz further indicated
that we are proposing that the funds for parcel 109 be a grant to loan to grant, which is a
deviation from standard County policy. He thought this proposal would greatly benefit the City,
since it would give CRA Director Earle additional flexibility to obtain other grants by having
grant funds available. Attorney Moskowitz noted that County Commissioner Rodstrom is very
supportive, and that County staff understands what we are proposing. If the County approves the
discussion item for the reimbursement for parcel 109, it would be on their agenda for approval
the following week. He advised that the language in the resolutions to be approved tonight under
Items #8 and #9 respectively, allows CRA Director Earle and the City Attorney to make minor
changes to the Interlocal Agreement. Attorney Moskowitz further noted that if, after discussion
with County staff tomorrow, significant changes need to be made to the resolutions, we would
need to call a Special meeting of the CRA Board before the next Commission meeting to
approve the revised resolutions. He confirmed for the record that Vice-Chairman Castro and
Chairman Jones are assisting in bringing the rest of the County Commissioners on board.
Items #8 and#9 were voted on at this time.
4. Parcel 109 Developer Presentation
Director Earle introduced Hank Thomas, President of The Greenhill Development Company, Iraj
Shojaie,Architect, and Sam Jazayri,developer.
Hank Thomas, President, The Greenhill Development Company, provided a history of his
education and work history. He also presented a PowerPoint overview of the proposed
development of Parcel 109 which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. Mr.
Thomas stated he loves this business and is well experienced in every aspect of it. He further
commented that his business partner, Sam Jazayri, has been very successful as a commercial
developer. Mr. Thomas noted Dania Beach has the perfect location for development with its
proximity to the airport and seaport. He remarked that one of the most important things to
contribute to the success of this type of project is to have some common area space where people
can congregate. Mr. Thomas noted that a successful completion of the project would take
approximately 6-7 years, to be developed in three phases:
Phase 1: A 3-level Parking garage to include 390-400 spaces; with potential for expansion as
needed. He proposed an office building adjacent to the parking garage fronting on 191 Avenue,
with retail on the first floor and offices above.
Iraj Shojaie, Architect, noted that after visiting the site, he realized that it had more potential than
he thought. He therefore developed the project for the entire site, including the existing City
Hall, as described in Phase 2, as follows:
Phase 2: A 3-story building to accommodate a new City Hall, with 36,000 square feet, hardened
construction that would stand strong hurricanes and serve as an Emergency Operations Center.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 2
City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency
Wednesday,February 4,2009—6:00 p.m.
Phase 3: A mixed use retail and residential project on Dania Beach Boulevard, with
approximately 8,000 square feet of retail on the first floor and two floors of apartments above.
Mr. Shojaie noted a proposed 12,000 square feet park would be located between City Hall and
the apartments which could be used for various City functions. He further explained that the
City Hall building would be facing east, with a fountain and boulevard linking to Federal
Highway which would create a very nice environment.
Director Earle indicated this project would spark redevelopment in the downtown area. He
pointed out this would be a multi-year project.
Vice-Chairman Castro noted she is very pleased with the project and thought it fit very well with
our community.
Board Member Flury noted she is very impressed with the proposal mainly because it reflects
what our City would like to be.
Board Member Anton concurred with the other members of the Board regarding the proposed
project. He was glad to see the parking issue near the Library would be addressed, since we have
a lot of older residents who have mobility problems.
Chairman Jones stated he is excited with the project and thought the boulevard linking to Federal
Highway was a great opportunity for people to walk in the downtown area.
Director Earle thanked City staff for their assistance in expediting this process with the
developer.
5. Adoption of Final Redevelopment Plan
Director Earle noted this is the same Plan presented to the Board two weeks ago, with no major
changes. This would become the guiding document for the CRA and any new Board Members.
Vice-Chairman Castro motioned to adopt the Community Redevelopment Agency
Redevelopment Plan; seconded by Board Member Flury. The motion carried on the
following 4-0 Roll Call vote:
Board Member Anton Yes Vice-Chairman Castro Yes
Board Member Flury Yes Chairman Jones Yes
6. CPA Regulating Plan Presentation—The Mellgren Planning Group
Director Earle advised that this Presentation represents some of the changes to the zoning
discussed over the last few months. He noted these changes would not occur until the land use
Minutes of Regular Meeting 3
City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency
Wednesday,February 4,2009—6:00 p.nL
changes are implemented. Director Earle thanked Corinne Lajoie, Principal City Planner, for her
input and suggestions which made this plan better.
Michele Mellgren, President, The Mellgren Planning Group introduced Swati Meshram,
Associate Planner, and Jeff Katims, Senior Associate.
Swati Meshram, AICP, Associate Planner, advised this Plan is the result of several community
meetings and reflects the overall vision of the entire area. She noted some of the main features
of the Regulating Plan are: the opportunity for additional parcels for marine businesses in the
City; the TOD expansion west of the FEC Corridor; East Dania Beach Boulevard conversion to
two different districts.
Jeff Katims, AICP, Senior Associate, explained that most of the new zoning districts will occur
once the Regional Activity Center(RAC) is established. He noted the RAC is a larger version of
the City's Local Activity Center(LAC). Mr. Katims indicated the Plan would also include a new
neighborhood mixed use zoning district which is a true Form Based Regulation. He noted that
the revisions that they are proposing would substantially increase the predictability of the
development that we want. They will make several recommendations such as re-tooling some of
the incentives to make them more effective; reviewing the schedule of permitted uses; allowing
business-type hotels on the South Federal Highway Corridor; and introducing live/work units.
Mr. Katims indicated that this user friendly format would allow a Commissioner, a developer or
a resident to see what parcel build-out looks like as opposed to having to read through pages of
standards and exceptions. He advised that the final draft will be presented in March. Once the
Commission approves the proposed standards, they will finalize the draft regulations and
integrate it into the one Code. Mr. Katims advised that the integration of the Form Based
Regulation will require revisions throughout the Code to make sure that it fits together. He noted
that next March they will submit for consideration, a minor Code amendment for the TOD/TOC
which would allow the Commission to approve site plans that are consistent with the Form
Based Code standards, which will require fewer variance requests. Mr. Katims noted that once
the RAC is established,the City would be able to implement the CRA concept plan in full.
Corinne Lajoie, AICP, Principal City Planner, responded for Vice-Chairman Castro that the use
of graphics as opposed to text would make it easier to understand what is allowed by Code.
Chairman Jones noted that sometimes when projects come to us, we do not have the opportunity
to discuss the economic benefits of it. He suggested having an Economic Director who could
offer advice to the Board, and thought that CPA Director Earle could do it for no additional pay.
Board Member Flury noted the Mayor's point is very well taken. She thought that every major
project that is submitted to the Commission for consideration, whether it is within the CRA or
not, should have that component. Board Member Flury felt that Director Earle was capable of
doing this and that we did not need an extra person for the job.
Interim City Manager Donnelly noted that in the private sector the developer knows the
information and the economic impact it entails. He stated that we need to have the economic and
social analysis of each project. Interim City Manager Donnelly clarified that the Form Based
Minutes of Regular Meeting 4

Wednesday,February 4,2009—6:00 p.m.
Code discussed during The Mellgren Planning Group presentation was not part of their contract,
therefore an amendment would need to come before the Commission for approval.
Director Earle noted that the Finance Director would have to find the funding for the additional
costs involved in the integration of the Form Based Regulation.
Vice-Chairman Castro was not in favor of adding the additional title of Economic Director to
Director Earle at this time. She thought the newly appointed City Manager should make the
necessary recommendations.
Addendum
7. CRA Executive Director Contract
City Attorney Ansbro provided a summary of the proposed contract for the CRA Director.
Board Member Flury agreed with all terms of the contract, except for the section referring to
"consulting or business opportunities". She requested that a clause be added to the contract
stating that in the event the CRA Director acts as a consultant for any other agency, this
information should be disclosed to the Commission.
Board Member Flury motioned to approve the CRA Executive Director Contract, with
amendment; seconded by Vice-Chairman Castro. The motion carried on the following 4-0
Roll Call vote:
Board Member Anton Yes Vice-Chairman Castro Yes
Board Member Flury Yes Chairman Jones Yes
Items #8 and#9 were voted on after Item #3.

Memo
To: CRA Board
From: Jeremy Earle, Executive Director
CC: Patty Varney, Finance Director
Date: 219/09
Re: CRA Contracts and Expenses
Greetings Community Redevelopment Agency Board members,
As you know, 2009 will be an important year for us as we implement the redevelopment plan which you
have adopted. This year we will be working hard to construct a parking garage on Parcel 109 as well as
an office/retail complex. In addition as discussed in previous meetings we are taking the steps necessary
to be able to offer New Market Tax Credits to developers and business owners as an additional incentive
for them to come and set up shop in our city. Lastly we will be aggressively going after every possible
grant that we can so that we can redevelop our downtown areas as well as the adjacent neighborhoods
within the CRA. To that end there are three proposals before you:
1 A proposal from MetroStrategies Inc, to help us with the negotiations for parcel 109 as well as
continuing to work with us from a CRA governance point of view. Kim Briesemeister has been invaluable
to the CRA over the past few months and her expertise in setting up countless public/private deals is
necessary to ensuring that we make the best arrangements possible for the City of Dania Beach-Contract
amount$15,000.
2 A proposal from Carras Community Investment Inc. for grant writing services. Jim and his team
St nd
will write three (3)grants which have a deadline of April 1 and 2 respectively. They will also help us
with additional grant writing over the next year and help us out with other projects and services on an as
needed basis. Attached to his proposal is preliminary list of grants that we can go for this year-Initial
amount$6,100.
3 Expenses for The Mellgren Planning Group to print 15-25 books each of the Redevelopment Plan
(big binders) and the Findings of Necessity (document) which have to be transmitted to Broward County
for approval of the expansion of our CRA Boundaries This cost also includes expenses related to
printing the draft and final copies of the Redevelopment Plan for the City of Dania Beach. Approximate
Cost$4000
4 A proposal from Carras Community Investment Inc. to help us partner with the Lauderhill CRA
and Oakland Park CRA in order to apply directly for New Market Tax Credits. As Jim explained to you at
an earlier meeting we stand a much better chance if we team with another City/CRA to get the credits that
we need in order to encourage redevelopment. Lauderhill and Oakland Park have agreed to add us to
their application. We will be applying for$100 million dollars in tax credits. Contract amount $15,000-
20,000.
As of today I have $10,219.03 in my professional services budget and will therefore have to transfer funds
from the contractual services account to cover numbers 1, 2 and 3 above. Item 4 above will require me to
come back to the board for an additional allocation of funds.
Thanks again for your continued support,

Dear Jeremy:
I am pleased to provide you with this proposal and letter of agreement for providing
grant identification, preparation and related advisory services. As you know, there are
many opportunities that will enhance the CRA's agenda and help you meet your goals.
Our grant writer, proposal fundraising and related services can help increase the overall
funding for the CRA. We have skills and insight into the proposal development process
that will be valuable to your over leveraging and fundraising.
We have identified three grant opportunities that are due this month(April 1):
Waterway Assistance Program
The Waterway Assistance Program provides funding for planning, acquisition,
development, construction, reconstruction, extension, improvement, operation
or the maintenance of public navigation local and regional anchorage
management, beach renourishment, public recreation, inlet management,
environmental education, and boating safety projects directly related to the
waterways. Among the eligible uses are dredging and navigation activities as
well as acquisition and development of piers, parks, boardwalks, ramps, and
launching facilities. A minimum of 50% match is required. Projects will be
ranked in June and funding will be dispersed after October 1st.
DUE: April 1,2009 @ 4:30pm
Cooperative Assistance Program
The Waterway Assistance Program provides funding for planning,acquisition,
development, construction, reconstruction, extension, improvement, operation
or the maintenance of public navigation local and regional anchorage
management, beach renourishment, public recreation, inlet management,
environmental education, and boating safety projects directly related to the
waterways. Among the eligible uses are dredging and navigation activities as
well as acquisition and development of piers, parks, boardwalks, ramps, and
launching facilities. A minimum of 50% match is required. Projects will be
ranked in June and funding will be dispersed after October 1st.
DUE: April 1,2009 @ 4:30pm
Florida Boating Improvement Program
The Florida Boating Improvement Program provides funding through
competitive grants for boating access projects and other boating-related
activities on coastal and/or inland waters of Florida. Among other uses, the
funds can be used to promote economic development initiatives that promote
boating, including costs associated with research, studies, or planning to
determine additional boating access or improvements. There is no match
requirement or limit in funding,however, smaller projects (less than $400,000)
that leverage cash and in kind sources are scored more favorably.
DUE: April 2,2009
We will complete all research,writing and final preparation of these grant proposals and
ensure
that all necessary documentation from the CRA and City is included.
In addition, the attachment to this proposal list is a working, partial list of additional
grants that are available this year (subject to funding) that we will work on based on
your approval to proceed.
Costs
We recommend a cost efficient, ongoing arrangement that will manage CRA resources
for maximizing the number of grants and resources to be leveraged. Carras Community
Investment,Inc. will bill for grant-writing services at the following rates:
• James Carras,Principal,$185.00 an hour
• Mandy Spangler, Senior Associate,$100.00 an hour
• Rebecca Walter,Associate,$85.00 an hour
• Research Assistant, $50.00 an hour
We will bill you for each grant writing opportunity based on your approval to proceed
and will establish a not to exceed cost for each grant. We will provide you with the
number of hours and the applicable rate to each grant for your approval and only bill
you the actual number of hours provided to complete each grant proposal.
For the three grants that are due in early April, we anticipate a total number of hours to
complete these grants to be approximately 40 hours,Senior Associate, 10 hours Principal

Mr. Jeremy Earle
City of Dania Beach
Community Redevelopment Agency
Dania Beach,Florida
Dear Jeremy:
I am pleased to provide you with this proposal and update on the Federal New Markets Tax
Credits program and a Broward initiative to secure these credits for local investment. As we have
discussed, Carras Community Investment, hic.represents the Broward New Markets,LLC,a U.S.
Treasury certified Community Development Entity (CDE). The partners in this corporation are
the City of Lauderhill Community Redevelopment Agency, Amera Broward Central, LLC and
Southeastern Properties, hic. Broward New Markets, LLC is seeking to expand its target market
for this year's application to other redevelopment areas in Broward County and thus seek your
support and participation.
The New Markets Tax Credits program is a federal initiative to provide capital to economically
distressed communities and is administered by the U.S. Treasury Department. Over $18 billion
in credits have been allocated since 2001 and $5.0 billion is being offered in this current round
with applications due on April 6". The tax credits allocated to CDEs that apply are then sold to
investors and the resulting capital is loaned or invested at reduced rates to real estate projects and
businesses. The application process is highly competitive and Broward New Markets, LLC
applied last year. We weren't successful due to the need for a larger target market and enhanced
management team. By preparing a multi-CRA target area application we will be able to address
the former issue and are in the final stages of secruing the services of an experienced New
Markets Tax Credit management firm.
Dania Beach CRA has formed a CDE and is applying for certification to the U.S. Treasury
Department New Markets Tax Credits. Your newly formed CDE can be a sub-allocatee to the
Broward New Markets, LLC application once the certification application is approved. Eligible
projects such as the proposed Parcel 109 projects would benefit from an accessible and available
source of capital that focuses on projects in redevelopment areas at a reduced rate.
To participate in this application initiative, the following will be required from the Dania Beach
CRA:
1. Become a member of the Broward New Markets, LLC. The cost to do so will be
finalized prior to submission of the application for funding and is projected to be in the
$15,000 to $20,000 range.
2. Prepare and provide a pipeline of real estate projects and or expanding businesses that
would be eligible for financing upon successful award of New Markets Tax Credits to
Broward New Markets, LLC with the next 12 to 36 months. Typical loans and/or
investments are in the $5 million to $15 million range.
3. Agree to serve on the governing body of Broward New Markets LLC and oversee the
application process, provide advice on Dania Beach market issues and approve operating
procedures and future strategic direction.
I look forward to further discussing this opportunity with you and presenting it to the CRA Board
for approval.
Sincerely,
James Carras
