Minutes of Regular Meeting 10
Dania Beach City Commission

Mayor Castro opened the Public Hearing.
Tom Murphy, 5201 SW 3 1" Avenue, #148, thanked the Commission for recognizing there is a
problem with these pain clinics. He indicated that the vehicles in the parking lots are from out of
state, and are used primarily for drug dealing. The only way to shut down the existing clinics is
by active enforcement and BSO should monitor the activity of these clinics. Mr. Murphy
recommended the ordinance be passed as provided, unless there is a way to include language to
close the existing clinics.
Carol Sims, 1418 S. Federal Highway, Dania Beach and 535 NE 128 Street, Miami, noted she is
the manager for the pain clinic in Dania Beach. She advised they are similar to a wellness
center, which takes care of pain and general family medicine. They do not accept out of state
patients and they do not dispense oxycodone. Ms. Sims supported closing the bad clinics and
keeping the good ones.
Teddy Bohanan, 312 SW 15`h Street, noted this is one of the highest drug areas in the City. She
remarked that we want a drug-free City and we will keep our eyes on it.
Jimmy Crimminger, 237 SW 15`h Street, noted the City will be at the forefront of no more crime
and no more drugs in Dania Beach. He noted we do not want to hurt private enterprise, but
questioned why they chose this particular area for their business.
Patrick Phipps, 266 SW 5`h Street, opposed pain clinics particularly in his area.
Seeing as there was no one else to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Castro closed the Public
Hearing.
Commissioner Jones commended the Chief for bringing this matter to our attention. He spoke
about the way these clinics operate and the amount of pills per person they are allowed to
dispense. Commissioner Jones indicated we may amend this ordinance if we can find a way to
shut down the clinics that are in existence.
Commissioner Anton concurred with Commissioner Jones. He clarified with the City Attorney
that we cannot shut down the existing clinics without enforcement.
Commissioner Duke noted the parking lots of the pain clinics on Griffin Road are always full.
He requested the City Manager and City Attorney contact Martin Outdoor Media to eliminate the
advertising for the pain clinics on the bus benches in our City.
Mayor Castro noted that Scott Martin, Martin Outdoor Media, contacted her regarding this
matter and she referred him to the City Attorney.
Vice-Mayor McElyea supported the ordinance.

Dania Beach City Commission

seconded by Commissioner McElyea.
Mayor Castro expressed her appreciation to BSO Chief Peterson and staff who worked so hard to
create this ordinance. She noted that doctors do not dispense controlled narcotics from their
offices; they write a prescription and monitor your health. Mayor Castro referred to the recent
public events in the Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Jackson cases. She agreed with Mr.
Murphy regarding the need for BSO to watch the existing clinics very closely. Lastly, Mayor
Castro indicated that the Legislature needs to address this issue without further delay.

Commissioner Anton questioned if it was wise to install the automatic meter readers.
Director Orlando noted the costs would come from the Water Fund and would not impact the
General Fund Budget. Furthermore, the proposed system would allow us to keep an on-going
log of leaks.
Mayor Castro opened the Public Hearing. Seeing as there was no one to speak in favor or
opposition, she closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Jones would like to see more opportunities that would benefit our citizens. He
spoke about the UNITAR International Water Forum he attended in Atlanta in early July.

residents letting them know the good things that the City is doing and how to conserve water.
Patty Varney, Director of Finance, noted we have the funds to pay for the automatic meter
readers.

10. Discussion and Possible Action
10.1 Update on Abatement Program for Code Liens
Nick Lupo, Code Compliance Manager, noted there are approximately 1,200 residential cases
eligible for the Code Amnesty Program. The cases are from 1992-2006, and the total amount of
code enforcement fines that remain uncollected as of July 1, 2009, is $19.5M. He indicated that
the terms and conditions for the Program rest with the City Commission. Mr. Lupo advised that
in order to qualify for the Amnesty Program, applicants must be in compliance. He further
clarified that about fifty percent of the cases are in compliance. Mr. Lupo asked for direction
from the Commission.
Commissioner Duke requested a recommendation from the City Manager and staff for
Commission consideration.
Mr. Lupo noted he would recommend a 90-day period, with a 75%reduction.
Mayor Castro suggested a sliding scale for the reduction of the fines to create an incentive for
those affected.
Commission concurrence was that the majority of the cases be approved by staff, with
Abatement hearings taking place only if required.
Mayor Castro requested a revenue item for the budget.
Mr. Lupo indicated it cannot be gauged.
City Attorney Ansbro suggested we follow the Ft. Lauderdale model.
Mr. Lupo noted he would like to give people a little more time, in view of the current economic
conditions.
It was the consensus of the Commission to ask staff to bring a proposal to the next meeting.
10.2 Discussion of Paddles and Boats at Ocean Park
Colin Donnelly, Assistant City Manager, explained that following the comments made by Mario
St. Cyr, Paddles and Boards of Hollywood, at the June 9 Commission meeting, the Commission
asked staff to provide direction regarding the use of paddle boards at Ocean Park. He distributed
a memo to the Commission on this item, listing staff concerns, which is attached to and
incorporated into these minutes. Assistant City Manager Donnelly thought the paddle boarding
would benefit tourism and recommended the activity be allowed at Whiskey Creek, but not at the
beach/pier area. In addition, any trailer should be removed at the end of the day.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 15
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,July 28,2009—7:00 p.m.
Commissioner Jones asked if we could talk to the City of Hollywood about the possible
annexation of the property north of the beach or any other type of negotiation.
City Manager Baldwin noted that staff already discussed the matter.
Vice-Mayor McElyea indicated the property was privately owned, and noted that Whiskey Creek
is also in the City of Hollywood.
Assistant City Manager Donnelly indicated that the Recreation Department of the City of
Hollywood is also interested and they currently operate a 70-30% split.
Commissioner Anton noted there are jurisdictional issues and we need to be careful and take this
into consideration before we move any further.
Commissioner Duke said it seems like a lot of work as well as legal issues, for not much
revenue.
Commissioner Jones questioned where our liability would end if someone was injured in the
water.
Mayor Castro noted it is only a point to launch. She further asked if the Beach Watch had
already signed an agreement with Paddles and Boards of Hollywood.
Assistant City Manager Donnelly explained that the Beach Watch lease allows them to rent
certain water sports, however,they are obligated to notify the City of any such arrangements. He
confirmed the Beach Watch tenants did not inform the City of their negotiations with this
vendor.
Mayor Castro suggested that staff send a letter reminding them of their obligation to abide by the
terms of the lease.
Commissioner Duke noted Assistant City Manager Donnelly's time is too valuable to be spent
on this issue. He suggested we abandon the idea.
It was the Commission consensus for the City Manager to bring back a recommendation.
11. Commission Comments

remarked it takes a common effort to keep our parks clean.

Vice-Mayor McElyea noted that the American flags at both cemeteries are tattered and torn. He
also noted that a light needs to be put on the flag.
Vice-Mayor McElyea noted that two street lights are out near Paolo's Restaurant on Dania Beach
Boulevard. He also advised that seven lights are out on US1, between Old Griffin Road and
Dania Beach Boulevard. He suggested the COP's program group check the lights and report to
Lynn Shatas of Florida Power and Light who will take care of the problem.

Dania Beach, FL 33004
Dear Commissioners:
Please accept this letter as a formal expression of my support of the recently created Green Advisory
Board in Dania Beach. With the environmental and economic uncertainties we face, it is ever more
important for all levels of government to create and improve policies and practices for the protection and
conservation of our natural resources.
I am confident that the Green Advisory Board will be a model for the success of cooperative efforts and
sustainable results among residents, businesses and government to foster a community in which
environmental concerns are continually being addressed through education, research and planning.
I applaud the City Commission's leadership in initiating such an innovative opportunity. I look forward
to participating in collaborative efforts with the Board and Commission to develop and implement
environmentally-conscious policies and practices that benefit our community and the State of Florida.
Sincerely,
Evan j nne

Subject: Paddle Boards at Ocean Park
Following the comments of Mario St.—Cyr, representing Paddles and Boards of
Hollywood, Fl., during the public portion of the June 9, 2009 City Commission meeting,
the City Commission directed staff to provide direction regarding the use of paddle
boards at Ocean Park. The following issues are of concern:
• Contractual Relationship with Beach Watch: Is paddle board rental an approved
use under the lease agreement between the City and Beach Watch?
• Paddle boarders mixing with bathers: Is it a boat, a surfboard or something in
between? If paddle board is a type of boat, then City Ordinance Sec. 6-12 (d)
prohibits boats from launching from the beach, except for "designated launch
areas". If it is a surf board then City Ordinance Sec. 6-15 Surfing restricted to
specified area, time and would restrict surfing 100 feet north of the pier.
• Paddleboards under and near Dania Beach Pier —The Ocean Rescue documented
paddle boarders going under the pier, which is dangerous and prohibited by
ordinance.
• Parking of trailer at Ocean Park —City Ordinances prohibit the parking of
oversized vehicles from parking at Ocean Park.
• Commercial Activity in the parking lot—The purpose would be to rent the
paddle boards to beach patrons. Without a structure, business would be
conducted in the parking lot.
• Is paddle board an activity to be promoted at Ocean Park?
Paddleboard is becoming more popular and the market seems to be growing. Ocean
Park is an ideal location for launching into the Whiskey Creek. The vendor would like
to use Ocean Park for the commercial visibility of renting paddleboards. Kristen Jones
had the vendor do a display at the July 411, Celebration and she does not object to their
use at Ocean Park with respect to Whiskey Creek.
Mr. Dean Moss raised concerns about their use so close to the pier. The vendor would
have to advise their clients to maintain an exclusion zone of the pier and swim areas.
Since the beach north of the pier is not actively guarded, in the event of trouble, the
lifeguards would have to divert resources from the swim area to attend to wayward or
trouble paddle boarders.
After conferring with the city attorney, I have developed a decision matrix that is based
upon the assumption that if the vendor proposes their activity for beach use, then the
paddle board concession would be a right under the Contract between the City and
Beach Watch.

removed at days end.

Subject: Grant Report July 2009
It has been over a year since I've reported to the City Commission on the status
of grants within the City. The following report is different than past status
reports in that it is more in depth than the usual listing of grants, funds awarded
and expended with limited commentary. I feel a more robust accounting of
grant activity is warranted for several reasons. First, of which is that the new City
Manager, new City Commissioners and the City Commissions Grant Advisory
Board require a background on grant activity and no such document exists for
that purpose. Lastly, more information is always better than less when resources
are scarce and grant dollars are available.
The process for identifying, evaluation and making a grant applications is a
collaborative effort among city staff, the City Commission, boards and
consultants. The decision to apply for a grant can be labor intensive, and as we
have seen with the T.I.G.E.R. grant it can be costly. Once a grant notice is
received, the document is disseminated to the relevant city staff for evaluation.
Usually, a capital project will require engineering assistance to complete the
grant application. Service grants, like after school tutoring, require the assistance
paid or unpaid of professionals in that field to make a competitive application.
The Grant Tracking Sheet was designed to track grant notices to insure deadlines
and constraints are recognized.

Grant Activity Update in Narrative Form
2161 CCLC Programs Grant 2009- 2010: The purpose of the program is to establish
21s' CCLC programs that provide at-risk students with opportunities for academic
enrichment, personal enrichment, and other activities designed to complement the
students' regular academic program. The 21s' CCLC programs must also engage
adult family members, of actively participating students, through educational and
personal development opportunities. The grant application will fund the Time-for-
Kids Program for the next five year at $350,000 for the first two years, then $280,000
for the following three years. One component of this Federal Grant is to make the
program self supporting, that is why the grant decreases in years 3-5. It would be a
benefit to the City if a CBO could be established enough to take back over the
program. The City should know about the status of the grant by the end of July
2009. Without this funding, there will be no aftercare or summer camp for Collins
Elementary School.
2191 CCLC Continuation Application 2008- 09— This application was to continue the
funding for Time-for-Kids for the fifth and final year of the grant. The Award
amount was $280,000, which funds after school tutoring for 80 children of Collins
Elementary School and 120 children for summer camp. A.S.P. Inc. administers this
program and does the program reporting, for which they are paid a 10% fee. The
city handles the financial reporting for the grant. The programming funded under
this grant will end within August, 2009.
2008 Summer Global Literacy in Afterschool Program: This was a supplement
grant to 21s, CCLC (Time-for-Kids) Continuation Grant that funded a global literacy
program for the summer camp children of Dania Beach. This grant is closed out.
Broward Beautiful State Thoroughfare Beautification Grant 2009/2010 — Due to
establishing an eligible project, this application was never submitted. Prior to
submitting an application to Broward County, must approve the project since the
funds would be expended on their rights of way. The City proposed the Griffin/95
S.W. corner but was rejected due to environmental concerns. Next, the City
proposed median improvements to S.R. 84 but was then denied due to a pending
improvement project. was in progress to making improvements to E. Dania Beach
Blvd, Stirling Road and Griffin Road.
FDOT contacted the City about the possibility of re-opening the application
window for projects since there were few approved projects, but grant remained
closed due to new fiscal constraints.
3of16
Broward Beautiful Community Grant — The grant is not for local governments, but
for civic groups and homeowner associations for landscaping improvement on or
visible to public property. Dania Heights Civic Association has been twice
successful at being awarded this grant which ranges from $1,500 - $10,000. The City
assisted Ocean Waterways two years ago, however there application was
unsuccessful. The City has decimated the grant application to know community
groups in the City.
Broward Boating Improvement Program Grant—This grant was awarded in 2008 to
install solar powered street lighting in the parking area of the Griffin Marine Park.
The grant is expected to provide for five lights. The project has been waiting for the
City to make a bulk purchase of solar powered light in order to decrease the unit
cost of lights. The City has discussed the project with the developer of Hidden
Oakes, the new development east of the park. This project will move towards
completion with Chen and Associates developing the bid specification for solar
powered lights. An engineering contract will be forthcoming to the Commission for
surveying, community meetings and engineering work.
Broward Regional EMS Grant — The grant will provide for two four wheel drive all
terrain vehicles for EMS use the beach. Ben Rudbeck of the Fire Department wrote
this grant in consultation with Dean Moss of the Beach Division to provide the life
guards with the equipment that will be useful in providing medical service along
the beach. The $48,430 funding request has been approved and we are waiting for
approvals to order the vehicles.
Broward County — Natural Resources Planning Division — This grant is for the
feasibility and design study related to the development of an alternative water
supply. Prepared and submitted by Public Services, this $15,000 grant has a $15,000
match and will be used to recycle effluence from the water plant.
CDGB ARRA — The announcement and application due date to Broward County for
this application was July 2, 2009 and July 9, 2009 respectively. City staff conferred
on the application and it was filed by Community Development Department. The
most shovel ready project that met the criteria of the application was for solar street
lighting. The maximum grant allocation available to Broward County is $600,000,
which the City applied for in whole.
CDGB 331" Year — This program year's allocation was originally planned for the
construction of the Northwest Community Center. The cost for this project
4of16
exceeded CDBG funding and the completion of the CW Thomas building made this
project redundant. To not move forward with the project would mean loosing the
funding. In addition, the City would have to repay costs associated with plans and
land acquisitions. We would lose 33,d year funds altogether.
CDGB 3411 Year — This program year's allocation was originally planned for
sidewalks in one Westside neighborhood and solar powered street lights in another.
The projects were selected from the neighborhood CPTED Studies, which were
funded from CDBG funds for CDBG eligible areas. Due to changing demographics,
the Census Tracts identified in the original CDBG 34 Year Application which
became ineligible. The application amended to solar powered street lights and all
eligible CDGB Census Tracts. The City will bid the 34th year and 35u year projects
together for one combined solar street lighting project. Chen and Associates is
developing bid specifications.
CDBG 35 Year — The proposed project is for solar powered street lights in the
eligible Census Tracts within the City. As a non-entitlement city, the City's
application is administered through Broward County. Allocation for 34 year and 35
will be bid at the same time to take advantage of bulk purchasing. The allocation is
$226,192.00.
CDBG Supplemental Wilma: This $258,709 formula grant was awarded by the
Florida Department of Community Services Disaster Recovery Program. Broward
County is going to administer this grant for the City upon the release of funds by the
State. These funds can go to Dania Beach residents for the purpose of hardening
homes for hurricanes or to fix damage from hurricane Wilma. CDBG income levels
determine eligibility. The City keeps a list of interested residents which is
forwarded to_Broward County from time to time. The disbursement of funds has
been pending for over two years, due to a H.U.D. audit on the state level.
County Incentive Grant: This transit related grant the City sough to address mass
transit issues along the Griffin Road Corridor. Mr. Daniels was informed by
Broward County that the application would not be funded.
EMS Matching Grant — LifePaks: This grant provides 75% of the funding for the
purchase of two EMS LifePak 15 cardio monitors. The City's 25% match equals
approximately $14,000. This grant was written by Jack McCartt, Fire Chief.
Federal Appropriation Request: Dania Beach submitted its "wish List" to its
Congressional delegation that was compiled by staff and approved by the City
5of16
Commission. In 2007, the City Manager pursued funding for four projects: Water
Main Looping, SW Community Center and Solar Street lights. None of which were
funded, although that is not unusual. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
has three Dania Beach projects listed for federal funding ($5.5 million): solar
powered street lights, West Dania Beach Blvd Bridge, and sanitary sewer lift
stations. I have been advised by the Congresswoman's staff that once the House
approves their version of the budget, the City should make its Senators aware of the
importance of the appropriations.
Florida's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (ARRA) — This is a stimulus grant
in the form principal pay down of SRF loan City is approved for the construction of
the nano water filtration plant. ARRA funds will pay down $2.55 million of the
$10.25 million loan. The City's consultant Fred Bletcher submits all of the City's SRF
projects for ARRA Funding.
Fire Prevention and Safety Grants (FP&S) are part of the Assistance to Firefighters
Grants (AFG) and are under the purview of the Grant Programs Directorate in the
Federal Emergency Management Agency. FP&S grants support projects that
enhance the safety of the public and firefighters from fire and related hazards. The
primary goal is to target high-risk populations and mitigate high incidences of death
and injury. Chief McCartt Applied for this grant to provide for more fire prevention
through better programs in that office.
Florida Community Trust — Site 449 Natures Cove: This grant was a joint grant
from the Florida Department of Community Affairs to Broward County and Dania
Beach for the purpose of preserving open space in Broward County. The City
opened the Dania Cove Park last year by completing the landscaping, fencing and
parking area. The grant award was $603,440 and with the remaining $286,760, the
City must complete the project site plan by installing s picnic pavilions, 2 wildlife
observation/fishing platforms, uncovered picnic tables and interpretive signs, which
has a budget estimate of$255,000.
The project will require additional funds for works that was not anticipated in the
Site Plan and budget and that work is bank stabilized along the Dania Waterway.
The removal of non-native trees along the bank left the stumps and root systems in
place, although unsightly, they are providing bank stabilization. The City will call
for an engineering study to provide options for bank stabilization, in the mean time
the bank will be populated with mangrove seedlings.
6of16
It should be noted that Public Services performed the landscaping and heavy work
once the evasive species were removed by contractors. The City was told that their
work would be reimbursed, but those claims were rejected. Had the City's paid
contractors to perform the landscaping; the grant balance would be near depletion.
The grant funding for this project is insufficient to cover the scope of work in the
plan design for the park.
FRDAP CW Thomas Phase II - This grant provides the upgrading of park facilities
and equipment. Under the project management of Kristen Jones, the grant is near
completion with the rehabilitation of the restrooms on the west side of the park.
This project removed the old P&R office, built new playground, placed back boards,
picnic tables, grills etc, and will provide for two solar powered street lights for the
playground area.
FRDAP Linear Park Phase II - This grant application was designed to use the G.O.
Bond funds as a match to construct the SE 5"' Avenue Linear Park. The City was
advised in June 2009 that the State of Florida would not be funding any FRDAP
application; however, the City would be allowed to hold over the application for the
2010-2011 program year. Due to the low project score and the near completion of the
linear park, the application will not be rolled over. That application used G.O. Bond
funds as the cash match for the grant, with proposed budget, and GOBond funds
not available, a new application isn't advised.
J.A.G. FY 2005 — Purpose is to supplement crime fighting, without supplanting
normally appropriated funds. Originally requested funds were to offset the cost of
securing foreclosed properties; however, the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement (FDLE) did not approve the use. The grant is being used to offset cost
of summer camps, and for those expenditures not covered by CCLC.
J.A.G. Local Solicitation 2009: Purpose is to supplement crime fighting, without
supplanting normally appropriated funds. The grant amount is $27,054 of which the
City Commission earmarked that $20,206 to provide for a crime analyst position
through cost sharing with other south Broward BSO contract cities. The balance of
the grant will be used to offset summer camp and after school programs. BSO
applies for this grant on behalf of the City and maintains the grant reporting. In the
past, BSO has done this at no charge to its client Cities; however, BSO has advised
the City that it will be taking 5% of the grant for overhead. Since BSO is taking
almost 75% of the grant funds to support their staff, they have agreed to waive the
administration fee.

J.A.G ARRA FY 2009 - The City received its usual fund allotment. The City applied
for $111,323 to be used to offset summer camp expenses for Dania Beach children,
graffiti prevention, crime reduction and prevention applications, and police
equipment: stalker radar units and tactical ballistic shields.
LWCF - Linear Park - This grant was applied for in September 2007 to assist in the
construction of the SE 511, Avenue Linear Park. Although, the park was funded
through G.O. Bonds, those funds would have been used as the City's match through
the grant. Although, the project scored high, it was not funded due to the amount of
funding available. This application was later modified into a FRDAP grant
application for the linear park.
Neighborhood Stabilization Program: This is a federally funded program to
combat the ill effects of the collapse of the residential real estate market in 2008. This
is a formula grant based upon CDBG allocation rules. As a non-entitlement City,
Dania Beach joined Broward County in the application and management of these
funds. The $1,182,745 allocation will be used to purchase, rehabilitate, and then
support property acquisition in Dania Beach. Last November, the City submitted
targeted properties to Broward County. Nick Lupo and Bob Daniels, in a joint
effort, reviewed the priority list and submitted it the City Commission for
consideration. Revenue from the sale of properties can then be used for purchase
additional properties until the program sunsets.
MPO Bike Parking Facilities Project - This grant funded the purchase of bicycle
racks to be installed at Broward County Transit bus stops. Parks and Recreation
determined locations and Public Services installed the racks at three locations (Adler
Park, City Hall, and the Swanson House). The costibenefit ratio of this project was
very high. As a result, bicycles are rarely locked to street signs and benches,
obstructing the sidewalk.
NOAH Oil Spill Grant: This grant dates back to 2005 and was applied for by the
Beach Manager for the purpose of building and replacing chickee huts on the beach.
The grant was unknown to the administration until last year. The grant was closed
out this past year with the filing of a final report to NOAH by the Finance
Department.
SFWMD - Storm Water Drainage West of Ravenswood Road - This grant
application was submitted by Public Services. The project includes SW 32"D Terrace,
SW 45TH Street, SW 34TH Avenue, SW 34TH Terrace, SW 35TH Avenue, SW 44TH Street.
This application is pending.

would provide for infill sidewalks where needed along SW 401h Avenue, a bike lane,
and solar powered pedestrian lighting. The project is estimated to cost $323,000
with a 50% match of City funds. The City's match is to come from the
Neighborhood Improvement Projects List in the Capital Improvement Plan. The
grant, if awarded, would be for the 2014/15 Work Program Year. Engineering cost
are the City's responsibility and should be funded for the 2011 budget year.
