Commissioner Anton requested that the Commission adopt a Government Dispute Resolution
regarding the expansion of the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The resolution
authorizes the City Attorney, working with outside counsel, to take appropriate steps to initiate
and proceed with the conflict resolution procedure in the Florida Governmental Conflict
Resolution Act and to identify which, if any, local governmental entities other than Broward
County may have substantial interests that may be affected by resolution of the conflict and/or
whose participation in the conflict resolution process would be desirable. He noted that it would
be difficult to determine the actual costs associated with this process mainly because we do not
know how long it will take. However, it would be considerably less money than getting involved
in litigation in the Circuit Court.
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Resolution#2009-048.

refusal to comply with the operational restrictions set forth at Section 3.B. of the

Agreement, which states that the County agrees to "[n]ot proceed with the

Leadership Forum and requested Commission support to enable her to fulfill her goal.

Leadership Forum on Medicine in Virginia. She noted that she wants to become a pediatrician

field.

financial assistance, and starting donations from the City would set a precedent.

a code violation received for his business sign. He noted the sign has been in the same location

Department will not give him a permit to erect a new sign in the current location because it is in
the County's right-of-way. He further indicated that if he takes down the sign, he will no longer
have a sign for his business.

situation. She noted the Code Compliance Unit could be flexible about the deadline given to Mr.

There were no discussion items on this agenda.
11. Commission Comments
11.1 Commissioner Anton
Commissioner Anton noted he met with staff and representatives from the airport who want to
establish a pilot program for noise mitigation, which would involve 50 homes. He advised that
this matter would need to come before the City Commission for a public hearing before approval
and that enough time should be required to provide notice to our residents. Commissioner Anton
indicated that Avigation Easements would be required to participate in the program and that
people should not sign this document. Lastly, he noted that the program will be on hold until it
is presented to the Commission.
11.2 Commissioner Duke
Commissioner Duke noted that he attended several functions throughout the City. He
commented we should use our local businesses as much as we can, in order to keep our dollars in
Dania Beach.
Commissioner Duke asked for the status of the Beach Watch Restaurant lease.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 8
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, March 24,2009—7:00 p.m.
City Attorney Ansbro noted the restaurateurs are in good standing on their lease, however they
are behind in turning in their annual revenues report. He further indicated that they also need to
pay their property taxes by the end of the month.
Commissioner Duke suggested that we look at the lease to see whose responsibility it is to pay
these additional costs that are being incurred. He thought we should try to bring a better tenant
to the Pier restaurant for the benefit of the residents of Dania Beach.
Commissioner Duke suggested we consider webstreaming our meetings as opposed to using
Comcast (Channel 78). He indicated that Joe Husosky, in the Information Systems Department,
advised him that the initial start up cost would be approximately $6,000.00, and $2,000.00-
$4,000.00 per year to maintain. Commissioner Duke indicated this would make our meetings
available to everyone, no matter where they are.
Commissioner Duke suggested a Charter Review Committee be established. He requested the
City Attorney begin the process.
City Attorney Ansbro responded that he would bring a resolution forward at the next meeting.
11.3 Commissioner Jones
Commissioner Jones provided an update on events he attended.
Commissioner Jones noted he attended the community meeting held at Frost Park on March 18,
regarding the Linear Park on 5a' Avenue. He advised that Assistant City Manager Donnelly and
Public Services Director Orlando addressed most of the concerns of the residents in the area.
Commissioner Jones provided an update on the Legislative bills in Tallahassee. He noted he did
not foresee any action being taken in the near future which would benefit our City.
Commissioner Jones advised that The Today Show had a video of the Dania Beach Pier and
Restaurant. He noted he would try to obtain a copy for the City.
Commissioner Jones noted that Attorney General Bill McCollum sent a letter thanking the
Seniors for the opportunity to meet with them at their recent luncheon.
Commissioner Jones read a letter received from the Area Agency on Aging thanking the City for
the $10,000.00 donation.
Commissioner Jones commended Joe Husosky and City Clerk Stilson for their green initiative to
go paperless with the Commission agenda.
Commissioner Jones requested the City Manager and City Attorney look into establishing an
Education Advisory Board. The benefits of this board would be: we would be eyes and ears of
school events, their standards, their test scores; we could discuss issues such as boundaries and
enrollment; we could also look at school board rulings and guidelines that affect schools in the
Minutes of Regular Meeting 9
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, March 24,2009—7:00 p.m.
City of Dania Beach. He believes this board would have contact with the Broward County
School Board, as well as the City Commission.
11.4 Vice-Mayor McElyea
Vice-Mayor McElyea asked Assistant City Manager Donnelly to answer questions on the Pirates
Inn, Dania Beach Hotel, and Boyd Gaming.
Assistant City Manager Donnelly noted the Pirates Inn is in foreclosure proceedings, and the
property is currently boarded up and for sale.
Commissioner Duke noted that there are two other foreclosure actions in progress for that
property.
City Attorney Ansbro advised the Dania Beach Hotel has $75,000.00 in code liens. He further
indicated that the Commission gave the owner six months to demolish the property, or the City
would move forward with foreclosure. City Attorney Ansbro advised that they still have
approximately 35 days to have it demolished.
Assistant City Manager Donnelly noted that Boyd Gaming is waiting to see what legislation
comes from Tallahassee relating to some gaming issues.
City Attorney Ansbro responded for Vice-Mayor McElyea that the property known as the
"tomato patch"has drainage problems, and may not be suitable for development.
Mayor Castro noted that Governor Crist has some issues with the "Indian Compact" so we will
have to wait and see what happens in Tallahassee.
Vice-Mayor McElyea advised that the story of the Dania Beach monkeys is available if people
want to listen to the recording.
Assistant City Manager Donnelly advised that he contacted the Broward County Animal
Regulation Division on this matter. He also noted that signs have been placed stating it is
unlawful to feed or molest the monkeys.
11.5 Mayor Castro
Mayor Castro noted that Mary McDonald, Director of Human Resources and Risk Management,
advised we are submitting an application to participate in Workforce One's Student Summer
Program. She advised that the program is a partnership between Workforce One and Children's
Services Council of Broward to increase the number of working summer youths. The
participants are economically disadvantaged, therefore this program provides some relief to their
household income. Workforce One pays the students and carries the Workers Comp insurance.
Mayor Castro noted that the application must be submitted by April 5`h in order to be considered.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 10
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,March 24,2009—7:00 p.m.
Vice-Mayor McElyea motioned to enter into an agreement with Workforce One to
participate in their Student Summer Program; seconded by Commissioner Anton. The
motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Castro suggested we use The Mellgren Planning Group to do the Griffin Road Corridor
Study as opposed to bidding this project. She noted they have already done fifty percent of the
job and they are also working on the Unified Land Development Code which involves several
community meetings. She asked for support of the Commission to allow Michele Mellgren and
her team to move forward with this project.
City Attorney Ansbro noted he would bring a resolution forward at the next meeting to waive the
bidding requirements in this case.
Mayor Castro noted that the Bank building on the corner of Federal Highway and West Dania
Beach Boulevard has bars over the windows. She is concerned about the appearance of the
building and thought the bars made it look like an unsafe place.
Assistant City Manager Donnelly advised that the Code Compliance Unit is investigating this
issue and he will inform the Commission on the outcome of their investigation.
12. Appointments
Mayor Castro noted she spoke to City Manager Baldwin regarding our City boards and the fact
that some of them have not met for some time. She asked him to review the boards to see if we
could sunset some of them and bring them back as ad-hoc boards.
Commissioner Jones appointed Rosanne Webb to the Green Advisory Board.
Mayor Castro suggested that Corinne Lajoie, AICP, Principal City Planner, or CRA Director
Jeremy Earle be the liaison to the Green Advisory Board.

said that he would assign the liaison for the board.

Dear Elected Officials:
This letter is in support of Mr. Anthony Manuel's desire to open a funeral
home in the great city of Dania Beach. Mr. Manuel is a former employee of

Anything that this man is involved with will help our community grow with
respect and unconditional love for each and every family that is served and
