the Act.

provided an overview of the Community Renewal Act and some of the primary changes
authorized by the Act, and how it may affect the City of Dania Beach. A copy of this summary

Weston is considering a constitutional challenge to the Amendment.
Commissioner Jones noted the City of Weston is preparing a lawsuit and has requested
participation from other cities at a token fee of $2,500.00. He recommended that we look at
Weston's lawsuit and how it involves us.
Commissioner Duke noted that Weston's lawsuit is a political fight for Davie Commons. He
further commented that it is unlikely that our City would ever have a Development of Regional
Impact (DRI).
Mayor Castro concurred with Commissioner Duke regarding joining Weston's proposed lawsuit.
She thought this was an inter-city fight for which we are not prepared at this time. Mayor Castro
thanked Mr. Cambric for his presentation and suggested he attend one of the Broward County
Planning Council meetings.

the lawsuit, and he declined on behalf of the City.

person that goes to the hospital is contacted in order to provide them with the services they need.
He recommended that anyone with healthcare needs call "211 First Call For Help".
Mayor Castro asked if they would be coming to Dania Beach to offer their services.
Mr. Sampier noted that the 6-month program is rough, and Dania Beach is not on the list because
there are not many uninsured people in the 33004 zip code district. He advised that the cost to
the City for them to come into our area would be $25,000.00 and suggested there may be grant
funds available. He further said that they cannot provide primary care to residents who are not in
the district.
Commissioner Jones noted that this program helps the City and the healthcare district. He
thought we could look at the possibility of implementing this program at a future date.
Mr. Sampier noted that to implement the program, the City would have to help pick the target
area. He indicated they will get more information regarding the 33312 Dania Beach zip code
area.
Mayor Castro requested a study be conducted in the 33312 zip code area. She also asked for a
complete package for the entire City, with a price model. Mayor Castro asked Mr. Sampier to
explore any grant opportunities available to us.

that participants can join the Program at the age of 14 and provide countless hours of community
service, and do a great deal of work for the City.
The Commission supported the Program since it will bring job opportunities to our local youth.

because this building belongs to the taxpayers.

for the benefit of the neighborhood.

questioned BSO leadership for that area. He also asked the Commission to close the alleyway
referred to by Mr. Murphy. Mr. Phipps complained of the response time from BSO and the lack
of police officers patrolling the area. He asked how his tax dollars are being spent with BSO.
Mr. Phipps suggested we get rid of BSO and contract with Hollywood, or limit the contract
period with BSO. He further suggested a moratorium on Section 8 Housing, unless our Code
Compliance Manager Nick Lupo approves it. Lastly, Mr. Phipps asked that the Lions Club
property be cleaned.

provides quality service to our community. She thanked the Commission for supporting the
Dania Bears Football Team.
Mayor Castro noted that the Dania Beach CRA boundary expansion application is coming up
with the Broward County Planning Council. She assured everyone that the crime issue is being

that we all need to work together to try to find a solution to the problem. She remarked she will
not take another drug test because she took one for her employment.

Beach. He asked the Mayor to hold another Rap Session in the western part of the City.

6. Public Safety Reports
Donn Peterson, BSO Chief of Police, noted his officers do a great job. He indicated the
Commission will hear an ordinance for the "Pill Mills" tonight because we can see the danger
involved in those clinics. Chief Peterson noted the numerous hours that they have spent in the
area addressed under Citizen Comments. He remarked that they have been in the southwest area
for two years, not six weeks, and they have the statistics to prove it.
Mayor Castro commended Chief Peterson for initiating the ordinance for"Pill Mills".
Vice-Mayor McElyea commented that he is proud that he voted to bring BSO to Dania Beach.
He noted his only concern is that some of the BSO Officers do not live in the City and are not
familiar with the streets.
Chief Peterson noted that they serve a City of 30,000, and that everyone deserves the same
protection as the southwest area. He further said that they are bringing in additional support
services to address the problems in the southwest area.

Solicitation
Colin Donnelly, Assistant City Manager, advised the City is eligible to receive grant funds in the
amount of$27,054.00 from the Department of Justice. This award is based on population and
crime statistics, and funds can be used for several law enforcement programs. He noted that staff
is recommending this grant be used to offset the cost of running the Time for Kids Program, and
noted that BSO requested to use some of the funds for a Crime Analyst.
Donn Peterson, BSO Chief, noted the need for analytical support. He advised that Broward
County is looking to fund $58,423.00 for two analysts. Chief Peterson said that the City of
Oakland Park is contributing and BSO needs a third party to contribute. He requested an
allocation of$20,000.00 from Dania Beach.
Assistant City Manager Donnelly noted that under the JAG Grant, BSO is allowed to take five
percent of the 2009 award to administer the program. He recommended that if we contribute
$20,000.00, BSO should not take the five percent.
Mayor Castro opened the Public Hearing. Seeing as there was no one to speak in favor or
opposition, she closed the Public Hearing.

10.2 Discussion of Census 2010 Complete Count Committee to be appointed by the City
Commission - Mayor Castro
Mayor Castro noted the Commission has to appoint a committee comprised of business, religious
and community leaders who will reach the "hard to count" residents of our community. It is
important they understand the importance of participating in the census. She asked the
Commission to be prepared to bring some ideas to the next Commission meeting.
10.3 Consideration of the proposal by Waste Management for residential and commercial
garbage collection services
City Manager Baldwin noted we began negotiations with Waste Management for a possible five-
year extension of their contract. He indicated we have received calls from other haulers
complaining about the quality of our bid documents. City Manager Baldwin advised that Waste
Management is agreeable to extending residential waste hauling for one year, for a $2.00
monthly increase. He recommended we proceed with the one-year extension period to allow us
more time to prepare a complete bid package.
Tony Spadaccia, Waste Management of Florida, was present to answer questions. He noted they
are discussing the consolidation of all services under one hauler for the City of Dania Beach.
Vice-Mayor McElyea was not in favor of consolidating all services.
Mayor Castro clarified that we are extending the current residential hauler contract for one year,
at a $2.00 monthly increase, per account.
Commissioner Anton and Commissioner Duke both agreed with the City Manager's
recommendation.
Commissioner Jones commented that Waste Management should try to be more consistent with
the pick up times.
Commissioner Duke motioned to extend the contract for a one-year period, with a $2.00
per month increase; seconded by Commissioner Jones.
Mayor Castro noted that consolidation may not be the best course of action. She was confident
that the City Manager would negotiate the best possible deal for our residents.

10.4 Discussion of the T.I.G.E.R. Grant Application- Assistant City Manager Donnelly
Colin Donnelly, Assistant City Manager, noted that other communities are more shovel ready
than we are, and for that purpose there are a number of steps that we need to take to make it a
complete plan. Assistant City Manager Donnelly explained that we need to spend $59,000.00
for the consultant to determine if we can apply for the grant or a part of it. He advised that the
cost of retaining the consultant has not been budgeted.
Greg Kyle, Kimley-Horn and Associates, noted they have met with staff to inform them of the
requirements of the TIGER Grant. The potential bridge projects have a lot of unknown factors in
terms of their impacts. He advised that the $59,000.00 proposal would include a better definition
of the projects; meeting with the relevant agencies; and looking at other potential funding
sources to pay for the bridges. Mr. Kyle clarified that the $59,000.00 would not cover the grant
writing process. He indicated that the total cost involved to apply for the grant could range from
$20,000.00 to $1M.
Jeremy Earle, CRA Director, noted we have not prepared ourselves to apply for any federal
funding. He advised that the City would have to be Local Area of Participation (LAP) certified
in order to receive federal funding. Director Earle stated that the $60,000.00 is to position the
City to pursue these funds. He indicated that we should know in about six weeks, whether or not
we can apply for the TIGER Grant. Director Earle noted that if we are not successful in pursuing
the TIGER grant, we can use the $60,000.00 service to apply for other funds.
Mayor Castro clarified with Director Earle that proceeding with this will not preclude us from
working with other partners in the future.
Commissioner Duke confirmed with staff that the Grant Advisory Board has not been involved
in this process.
Director Earle remarked that going through this process is very important for the City. He noted
that the CRA is willing to share the involved cost.
Patty Varney, Director of Finance, noted we already are in a deficit this year. She advised that
we have funds for matching grants for next fiscal year. Director Varney reiterated that we have a
deficit of$540,000.00 for this year. She further clarified that this amount includes $300,000.00
for the renovation of the BSO offices at City Hall, which has not yet taken place.
Commissioner Anton noted we have no choice but to go through this process in order to be
prepared for future grant applications.

Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), which is attached to and incorporated into these
minutes. He advised that the NSP allocation to the City would be $1,182,745.00 to undertake
foreclosure, acquisition, rehabilitation, and resale through the County's program. Director
Daniels noted that staff prepared a list of 35 properties that are in foreclosure, ten of which have
been identified as priority properties for acquisition. He highlighted some of the criteria used to
establish the qualification for each property.
Mayor Castro thought this was a great opportunity to positively impact some neighborhoods in
the City.
It was the consensus of the Commission to direct staff to inform Broward County of the priority
properties for acquisition through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program.
Mayor Castro added another item under Discussion and Possible Action.
Mayor Castro noted she was contacted by the Mizell family, and they requested that the name of
Isadore Mizell be added to the Dania Beach Boulevard sign. She advised that Isadore Mizell
Boulevard would need to be added to the portion of Dania Beach Boulevard located west of US
1, as approved by the Commission in 1992. Mayor Castro indicated that Leo Williams is already
working with FDOT to have the sign reproduced.
It was the consensus of the Commission to direct staff to have the name added to the Dania
Beach Boulevard sign.
11. Commission Comments
11.1 Commissioner Anton
Commissioner Anton commented he received a letter from the Airport Advisory Board that
recommends the Mayor be the contact person and spokesman for the City for all Airport matters.
He said that although he has been the lead person on the Commission for Airport-related matters,
he does not have a problem with the Board's recommendation.
Mayor Castro noted she has the utmost confidence in Commissioner Anton, and preferred that
we keep him as the contact person.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 14
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,June 23,2009—7:00 p.m.
Louise Stilson, City Clerk, advised that Jay Field, on behalf of the Airport Advisory Board,
contacted her today to let the Commission know that they will be reconsidering their motion at
their next meeting.
Commissioner Duke noted that both Mayor Castro and Commissioner Anton have done an
excellent job with regards to the Airport issue. However, he suggested the City Manager be the
contact person, with Commissioner Anton still being the lead person for the Commission.
Commissioner Anton concurred with Commissioner Duke's suggestion. He noted that he has
been trying to arrange for a Shade Meeting, in order to have all five members of the Commission
discuss this important issue with our Airport attorney.
Commissioner Anton noted that he has asked staff to arrange for a public workshop meeting with
the County regarding the Airport issue. He suggested the meeting be scheduled some time
during the last week in July, which would allow for citizen input. Once we receive feedback
from our residents, we will be able to compile the necessary information to send to the County
by September 1, 2009.
Mayor Castro noted that City Manager Baldwin is working with the County regarding the release
of some properties which were taken off our tax rolls several years ago to facilitate the south
runway expansion.
11.2 Commissioner Duke
Commissioner Duke commented on the Beach Watch Restaurant special event for the 4`h of July.
He noted he is tired of this tenant taking up City staff time. He wants the City Attorney and the
Commission to stay on top of this because they are not acting in good faith.
City Attorney Ansbro noted he and Assistant City Manager Donnelly will meet with the tenant.
11.3 Commissioner Jones
Commissioner Jones commended Kristen Jones, Director of Parks and Recreation, on her green
initiative for the 4`h of July celebration laser light show.

Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,June 23,2009—7:00 p.m.
Colin Donnelly, Assistant City Manager, advised that was one of the properties we looked at to
apply for the Broward Beautiful Grant. He noted that FDOT did not want us to use that property
and told us we had to keep the fence.
Commissioner Anton suggested we contact Clive Taylor, who is retired from FDOT, to offer
some suggestions.
Commissioner Jones agreed on the Shade meeting for Airport matters suggested by
Commissioner Anton. He also thought it was a good idea to get City Manager Baldwin involved
in the Airport issue.
11.4 Vice-Mayor McElyea
Vice-Mayor McElyea noted he attended the Coast Guard Auxiliary and presented a
proclamation.
Vice-Mayor McElyea noted he took two drug tests this year. He pointed out that he runs a drug-
free company.
11.5 Mayor Castro
Mayor Castro noted the Church of the Resurrection will close and questioned if there was
anything the City could do. She remarked this is a big historical loss to the City.
Mayor Castro indicated she attended a training seminar on Saturday on personal and community
safety. She thanked BSO and other community leaders who participated in the training.
Mayor Castro noted a County Commissioner contacted her about rezoning some of the properties
impacted by the south runway Airport expansion. The recommendation was to increase density
or change the zoning to commercial. She stated that if we pursue this,the properties would have
to stay within City boundaries. Mayor Castro asked the City Manager to direct staff to find the
best possible way to proceed.
Commissioner Anton referred to the discussion held under Item #7.7, regarding the availability
of funds to provide School Resource Officers for our schools. He noted there will be a meeting
in August, and Mr. Luke, the Auditor for Broward County has concluded that $16,000.00 per
person is the cost for Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) for all employees included in the
BSO contracts with the Cities. Once again, he urged everyone to support our request to ensure
there is sufficient funding to retain our School Resource Officers.

Commissioner Albert C.Jones
Commissioner Walter Duke
FROM: Bob Cambric,Special Projects Manager
SUBJECT: The Community Renewal Act,a.k.a.Senate Bill 360
The Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 360 during its 2009 Session and Governor Crist signed it into
law by on 01 June 2009. The implementation of the Community Renewal Act(Act) may pose challenges
for local governments. The primary changes authorized by the Act and how it may affect the City of
Dania Beach are summarized in the attachment.
Please feel free to contact me at 954.985.4416 or bcambric@sfrpc.com if you have any questions or need
additional assistance.

Extension of Local Government Development Orders and Building Permits:
Section 14 of the Bill states: "Except as provided in subsection (4), and in recognition of 2009 real estate
market conditions, any permit issued by the Department of Environmental Protection or a water
management district pursuant to part IV of chapter 373, Florida Statutes, that has an expiration date of
September 1,2008, through January 1,2012,is extended and renewed for a period of 2 years following its
date of expiration. This extension includes any local government-issued development order or building
permit. The 2-year extension also applies to build out dates including any build out date extension
previously granted under s.380.06(19)(c),Florida Statutes.This section shall not be construed to prohibit
conversion from the construction phase to the operation phase upon completion of construction."
It also states: "The holder of a valid permit or other authorization that is eligible for the 2-year extension
shall notify the authorizing agency in writing no later than December 31, 2009, identifying the specific
authorization for which the holder intends to use the extension and the anticipated timeframe for acting
on the authorization."
This requirement may create an additional demand on local government staff resources. Additionally,
decisions will need to be made regarding how development orders and building permits extensions
can be implemented: as a ministerial act or by the Commission at public meeting. Since the term
"development order" is broad and can apply to numerous categories of activities,a decision will need
to be made about what authorizations qualify for this extension.
Additionally,questions have arisen regarding whether the local government extension is limited to its
permits that are associated with a DEP or WMD-issued pursuant to Chapter 373,Part IV,Fla.Stat.,and
whether the Legislature can extend the dates of local permits issued through a quasi-judicial
proceeding.
Eliminates State-mandated Transportation Concurrency Requirements in DULAs
A DULA is defined as:
a. A municipality that has an average of at least 1,000 people per square mile of land area and a
minimum total population of at least 5,000;
b. A county,including the municipalities located therein,which has an average of at least 1,000
people per square mile of land area;or
c. A county,including the municipalities located therein,which has a population of at least 1
million.
The City of Dania Beach's 2008 population was estimated to be 28,425 with an estimated density of 4,668
people per square mile. The Legislatures Office of Economic and Demographic Research will annually
calculate the population and density criteria needed to determine which jurisdictions qualify as dense
urban land areas.
Based on data compiled by the SFRPC, the City of Dania Beach would qualify as a DULA and,
concomitantly, a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA). In lieu of transportation
concurrency, the Legislature requires a DULA to adopt into its Comprehensive Plan land use and
transportation strategies to support and fund mobility in the TCEA. The strategies must include
alternative modes of transportation.
The Bill became law upon signature by Governor Crist; however, local governments and the
development community have expressed concerns about how and when the transportation
concurrency exemptions apply in DULAs. During his presentation on 12 June 2009, Department of
Community Affairs'Secretary Tom Pelham made the following statements:
• Existing Local Comprehensive Plans were adopted by ordinance and are within the power of
local governments to adopt pursuant to Chapters 125 or 166,Fla. Stat
2
• SB 360 does not alter the legal status of Local Comprehensive Plans or the Consistency
Requirement
• Chapter 163, Part II, Fla. Stat., sets minimum criteria, and generally does not prohibit local
governments from adopting stricter regulations.
• Local governments must amend their Comprehensive Plans in order to abolish or revise
existing transportation concurrency provisions as a matter of local law or to adopt other
approaches.
• Until a local government effectively amends its Comprehensive Plan, existing transportation
concurrency provisions continue to apply in TCEAs as a matter of local law
Mr. Pelham's statements may conflict with the desires of the Legislature and groups that supported SB
360, and until the interpretations are finalized a local government's actions regarding transportation
concurrency may be challenged. Regardless, all DULAs will have to amend their Plans within two
years to address the mobility requirements. It should be noted that DCA and the Florida Department
of Transportation are required to submit by no later than 01 December 2009,a report to the Legislature
regarding their mobility fee studies.
Eliminates the Development of Regional Impact(DRI) Requirements for New Development in a DULA
• New development in a designated TCEA is exempt from the DRI process; however, previously
approved DRI Development Orders may continue to be effective, but developer may opt to be
governed by s.380.115(1).
• This exemption does not apply to areas within an Area of Critical State Concern, the Wekiva
Study Area,or within two miles of the Everglades Restoration Area.
• A development located partially outside a TCEA is subject to DRI review.
• Pending DRI applications shall be governed by s.380.115(2).
• DCA may appeal a Local Development Order for a project larger than 120% of any applicable
DRI threshold if it would have required DRI review but for the TCEA exemption.
• The DCA appeal must be based on inconsistency with the local Comprehensive Plan.
It is not clear what constitutes a project and,therefore,requiring that the associated Development
Order be submitted to DCA. Also,it is unclear how projects/developments must conform to the
Aggregation Rule (9j-2.0275,Florida Administrative Code).
Amends Public School Concurrency Requirements
The Bill requires the use of relocatable facilities to be used in the calculation of school capacity and allows
charter schools to be used as mitigation for a developments impact of public schools. Additionally,the
Bill removes the requirement that DCA not process certain Comprehensive Plan amendments if a local
government had not complied with public school facilities planning.
Delays Financial Feasibility Requirements for the Capital Improvements Element
The requirement a local government Capital Improvements Element be financially feasible is delayed
until 01 December 2011.
Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Hearings
Chapter 163.3184(3)(e),Fla.Stat.,is amended to read:"At the request of an applicant,a local government
shall consider an application for zoning changes that would be required to properly enact the provisions
of any proposed plan amendment transmitted pursuant to this subsection.Zoning changes approved by
the local government are contingent upon the comprehensive plan or plan amendment transmitted
becoming effective."
The City of Dania Beach will need to examine its public hearing procedures and application timelines
in order to determine what,if any,impediments will need to be addressed to be able to comply with
an applicant request for a joint hearing.
3
Amends Affordable Housing Provisions in Chapter 420,Fla.Stat.
The Bill makes changes to tax exemptions associated with affordable housing,how property within a
Community Land Trust is assessed,requiring that affordable housing programs direct resources to assist
young adults leaving the foster care system,and changes to the use of State Housing Initiative
Partnership(SHIP)funds.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 23, 2009
TO: City Commission
VIA: Robert Baldwin, City Manager
Colin Donnelly, Assistant City Manager
Nicholas Lupo, Code Enforcement Man r !`C
FROM: Robert Daniels, Community Development irector
SUBJECT: Priority Properties for Neighborhood Stabilization Program
On July 30, 2008 Congress passed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA).
The Act appropriated $3.92 billion for emergency assistance for redevelopment of
abandoned and foreclosed homes and residential properties and provides under a rule
of construction, that unless HERA states otherwise the grants are to be considered
Community Development Block Grants CDBG funds. The grant program under Title III
is commonly referred to as the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP).
Broward County's NSP allocation is $17,767,589 and the County is administratively
responsible for the program. The County has asked its participating cities to provide
priorities for targeting NSP funds. The City of Dania Beach will receive $1,182,745.00
to undertake foreclosure, acquisition, rehabilitation and resale through the County's
program.
Community Development and Code Compliance staff has 35 properties that are in
foreclosure and has developed a list of 10 priority properties for acquisition.
Recognizing that the foreclosure process is dynamic and that aggressive efforts are
being made on the part of some receivers to market those properties, staff prepared
an additional list of six alternative properties to be used if one or more of the ones on
the priority list are no longer eligible. Criteria utilized for establishing priorities include:
• Severity of blight, code compliance issues and adverse impact on the
neighborhood;
• Ability to aggregate properties in order to achieve an economy of scale and
maximize positive neighborhood impacts through acquisition, rehabilitation
and/or replacement;
• Elimination of non-conformity, especially with regard to number of residential
units;
• Geographic parity among affected neighborhoods; and
• Cost to the city of providing a finished, ready-to-use property.
The 10 priority properties are listed below.
113 SW 5th Court
109 SW 5" Court
129 SW 51h Court
133 SW 5m Court
137 SW 51h Court
718 SW 3rd Place
722 SW 3`d Place
710 SW 3rd Place
300 SW 16th Street
829 NW 7th Avenue
The six alternative properties are on the following list.
417 Phippen Road
716 SW 6th Street
711 SW 61h Street
703 SW 6th Street
269 SW 6th Street
215 SW 2"d Place
In addition to providing an opportunity for neighborhood improvement and stabilization,
participation in the NSP and acquisition of the above noted properties implements a
number of Goals, Objectives and Policies of the City of Dania Beach Comprehensive
Plan, particularly Future Land Use Element Objectives XIII and XXIV and Policy 25.1
and Housing Element Objectives III, IV, IX, XI and XI and Policies 3.1, 9.3 and 11.1.
Further, the following Implementation Strategies of the City of Dania Beach
Community Redevelopment Agency Redevelopment Plan will be furthered through
participation in the NSP: Implementation Strategies 1.a.4; 2.b; 2.1; 2.m; 2.o; 2.s; 2.t;
6.c; and 6.x.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize and direct staff to inform Broward County of its priority properties for
acquisition through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program.
