7.4 RESOLUTION#2009-061 Revised Resolution
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA RELATING
TO THE AWARD OF A CONTRACT TO MOLLOY BROS. INC., A FLORIDA CORPORATION, FOR
DRAINAGE SYSTEM REPAIRS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MEADOWBROOK CONDOMINIUM, PHASES
IV AND V, WITHOUT COMPETITIVE BIDDING AND WITHOUT ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS, FOR A
SUM NOT TO EXCEED$54,115.27;PROVIDING FOR FUNDING; FURTHER, AUTHORIZING THE PROPER
CITY OFFICIALS TO ENTER INTO FUNDING AGREEMENTS WITH THE TWO ASSOCIATIONS FOR
PHASES IV AND V, PERTAINING TO THE REPAIR WORK, WHICH AGREEMENTS OBLIGATE THE
TWO ASSOCIATIONS TO JOINTLY PAY ONE HALF OF THE CONTRACT COST; PROVIDING FOR
CONFLICTS;FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of revised Resolution #2009-061.
Commissioner Jones requested clarification that the two Meadowbrook Associations would pay
half the cost of the $54,115.27.
City Attorney Ansbro responded that Ralph Viviano, President of Meadowbrook Lakes
Association, Phase IV, has declined for his association to pay their share of the cost.
Steven Sawyer, President of Meadowbrook Lakes Association, Phase V, noted that there is
nothing in the easement that obligates the association to pay for the repairs to the stormwater
system. He stated that their attorney advised that they should not pay.
City Attorney Ansbro confirmed that an easement was granted in 1981, however, the City never
adopted a resolution accepting the easement. Therefore, there is no responsibility for the City to
do the work. He felt the cost should be shared by the two associations and the City, since it
benefits directly the City and the associations. City Attorney Ansbro explained that the City
would pay 50%, and the other 50% would be shared by the two associations.
Mr. Sawyer asked how the easement was recorded and not accepted by the City.
City Attorney Ansbro noted this issue will not be resolved tonight since this matter will need to
be discussed in detail with their respective attorneys. He recommended to the Commission that
they should not pay for the repairs until the issue is resolved.
Vice-Mayor McElyea questioned if Winn Dixie was involved in this drainage issue. He
suggested there may be another party involved.
Dominic Orlando, Director of Public Services, indicated that any rainwater would flow to 3`d
Avenue.
Mr. Sawyer noted that four phases of Meadowbrook Lakes Condominium are affected. He
further stated that the pipes are all on private property.
Chickie Brandimarte, 101 SE 3`d Avenue, asked the Commission to table this request in order to
review the matter thoroughly. She questioned why it was never presented to their insurance

company by the associations. Ms. Brandimarte also noted the hole is quite large, and if anyone
is hurt, their association would be sued.
Director Orlando noted this matter has been on his desk for years, and this is a safety issue. He
stressed the fact that the City benefits from the drainage. Director Orlando suggested the funding
could be addressed at a later date but something should be done as soon as possible. He said the
road could collapse any day and it should be shut down without delay.
Mayor Castro questioned if it was our responsibility, and if Meadowbrook should be taking
responsibility for their property. She thought we should not be putting barricades on the road
because this is not City property. Mayor Castro does not want to set a precedent, since there
could be other properties in the City that may face the same problem. She would like to table
this item until the next Commission meeting to allow some time for the attorneys to discuss the
issue.
Director Orlando responded for Mayor Castro that funding would be derived from the storm
fund, and this would not be a problem.
Commissioner Anton agreed to the 50150 payment arrangement, but thought all interested parties
should assume responsibility. He suggested postponing this matter until the next Commission
meeting. Commissioner Anton would like all parties involved in the discussion, including Winn
Dixie.
Director Orlando noted these two pipes benefit Phases IV, Phase V, and the City; however, Winn
Dixie should do their own line.
City Attorney Ansbro noted Meadowbrook should take care of the safety of their residents. He
asked Mr. Sawyer to advise Mr. Viviano to have their attorneys contact him on this matter.
Commissioner Anton motioned to continue revised Resolution #2009-061 until the April 28,
2009 City Commission meeting at 7:00 p.m.; seconded by Commissioner Jones. The
motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote:

Tuesday,April 14,2009—7:00 p.m.
Dominic Orlando, Director of Public Services, noted this is not adjacent to the Public Services
facility. He clarified it is on the west side of the warehouses that are being constructed and the
property would be used for parking. Director Orlando indicated that they asked for the use of the
existing easement to meet their site plan approval.
Commissioner Duke asked if there was any discussion prior to considering the granting of an
"access easement" to the property owner. He noted that we should charge them for the use of
City property, since we are enhancing the value of their property.
Director Orlando noted they have been using the area for parking. He clarified we are not giving
away our property we are only allowing them to use it for parking.
City Attorney Ansbro advised that they would be liable if anyone was injured.
Commissioner Duke suggested that in the future, when we grant this type of request, we should
consider being paid for the use of City property.

City before a decision is made on this matter.

9-11 properties to review. Assistant City Manager Donnelly advised that he is working with
Nick Lupo, Code Compliance Manager, on foreclosure properties. He stated he would bring a
recommendation at the next meeting.
Assistant City Manager Donnelly responded to the Prescription Drug Program previously
mentioned by Commissioner Jones. He said it was a good program and requested permission to
move forward.
It was the consensus of the Commission to move forward with the Program.
City Manager Baldwin advised that his office is trying to obtain support from Representative
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz as well as Senator Bill Nelson, regarding federal budget
appropriations.
Commissioner Jones noted he would like the Linear Park on 5`h Avenue designed in such a way
that there is no flooding. He commented that to accomplish that we need to look at 7`h and 101,
Streets as well.
Dominic Orlando, Director of Public Services, noted that the suggested design will be a sidewalk
with curb and gutter adjacent to 5`h Avenue. He advised that the trees have been cut and will be
replaced with equal trees. Director Orlando indicated that the storm drainage project is being
designed and will be presented to the Commission when it is ready. Director Orlando further
explained the possible solutions to avoid flooding in the area.
11.4 Vice-Mayor McElyea
Vice-Mayor McElyea complimented Director Orlando on taking care of the water pressure issue
at his property.
Vice-Mayor McElyea invited City Manager Baldwin to walk around town with him.
11.5 Mayor Castro
Minutes of Regular Meeting 15
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,April 14,2009—7:00 p.m.
Mayor Castro noted that residents in the Ocean Waterway Mobile Home Park are complaining
about the dust from nearby construction. She indicated that Principal City Planner Corinne
Lajoie would contact Broward Commerce to find a temporary solution to eliminate the dirt flow
into the Park.
Mayor Castro noted we must try to enhance Federal Highway to make it look better. She
thought we could work with the School Board and other government agencies to improve their
appearance.
Mayor Castro noted the Marina Mile Association had asked some of the cities in the area around
State Road 84 to remove Sea Grapes from the median because they do not enhance the business
community. She noted we need to work with the other cities in this area so that people can see
businesses on both sides of the street.
Mayor Castro talked about the recent pedestrian vehicle accidents on Griffin Road. She spoke
with BSO Chief Peterson about a plan to try to slow traffic down, such as a crossing light in that
area. Mayor Castro remarked we need to revisit the red light camera issue in this area. She
requested consensus for the City Attorney to track down the red light ordinances, working in
conjunction with the City Manager, and provide a report to the Commission. Mayor Castro
noted we must find a way to safeguard our residents.
Kristen Jones, Director of Parks and Recreation, clarified for the record that the windows at Frost
Park are high impact and they are already tinted. She further explained that a lady who attends
the Jazzercise classes asked for a dark tint. Director Jones noted that this would create a security
issue and did not support the idea.
Mayor Castro noted our Park Impact Fees are tremendously high and we are very limited with
their use. She requested a report on other cities' Park Impact Fees, and suggested we consider
reducing these fees and put the difference in streetscapes or pocket parks. Lastly, Mayor Castro
asked if we could change the verbiage for Park Impact Fees in a way that would enable us to use
them to acquire park property and maintain parks.
Corinne Lajoie, AICP, Principal Planner, noted the requirement for public parks is required for
development. The formula calculates how fees are determined and is based on the value of the
land.
Mayor Castro asked the City Attorney, CRA Director and Ms. Lajoie, to re-evaluate the situation
with Park Impact Fees.
Commissioner Duke motioned to donate $500 for the Fire Department Open House,
seconded by Commissioner Jones. The motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Jones commented on a two and a half acre property that is for sale and is located
south of Westlawn Cemetery, north of the College Gardens Apartments. He asked if we would
consider purchasing it.
