Call to Order/Roll Call Chairman Castro called to meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Present: Chairman: Anne Castro Board Members: Bob Anton Walter Duke Albert Jones CRA Director: Jeremy Earle CRA Secretary: Louise Stilson Absent: Vice-Chairman: C.K. "Mad' McElyea 2. Approval of Minutes Board Member Jones motioned to approve the minutes of May 14, 2009 and June 3, 2009; seconded by Board Member Duke. The motion carried unanimously. 3. CRA Update Jeremy Earle, CRA Director, noted he attended the hotel conference held in Miami-Dade County. He commented it was a good opportunity to meet with several hotel representatives and also to provide them with some of our marketing material. Director Earle spoke about the possible purchase of a vacant lot located on 151 Street. He noted the initial price for the parcel is $350,000 and it could be used as a surface parking lot for City Hall while the Library is under construction. Director Earle advised that we could possibly fit about 40 parking spaces and that we would be using the funds received from Broward County to purchase the property. Board Member Duke noted this is a good parcel for immediate use and also to keep as part of the CRA future property inventory. Board Member Jones motioned to proceed with the purchase of the property; seconded by Board Member Duke. The motion carried unanimously. Director Earle noted that he has been working on the Developer's agreement for the hotel/parking garage/office-retail on Parcel 109, and future development of the City Hall parcel. He thanked Kim Briesemeister, Metro Strategies, Inc. and Attorney Jamie Cole for their assistance with the negotiation process. Board Member Duke questioned if there was a backup plan for this project. Director Earle remarked the parking garage has always been a priority on this project. He advised that if we do not reach a decision in the near future, the backup plan will be to issue a Request for Proposals. We will be handling the parking garage aspect so we can control the timing. Director Earle added that if the Library is scheduled to be completed by September, 2010, we really have to get moving on this issue. Chairman Castro remarked time is of the essence in this case. She suggested we get a quote from the contractor for the Library and, if it is adequate, they could expand the project and build the parking garage as well. Jamie Cole, CRA Attorney, noted we may be able to have a Change Order on the original contract for the Library. He indicated the same company could be interested in bidding on the project and could be the lowest bidder because they are already mobilized in the area. Board Member Anton noted we may lose the Library funding if we do not move forward quickly. He suggested we contact D. Stephenson/Cubellis to see if they would be interested in both projects. Director Earle noted that if negotiations fall through with The Green Hill Company, we could move to Cymbal Development, the second firm selected. Board Member Anton said we need to make sure that we are not legally committed to the second and third firms. Chairman Castro noted we are not committed. Director Earle spoke about the Hotel Feasibility Study which came about from numerous requests by developers who are interested in Dania Beach. He noted that when we finish this study, we will package it with the Retail Study and Office Study. Director Earle advised that the Strategic Finance Plan needs to be finalized in September and it will address how we proceed forward and utilize our funds. He indicated that Attorney Cole is working on the Interlocal Agreement between the City and the CRA that will define how we will operate. Director Earle further noted that we will try to transfer the $2.3M into the CRA. He remarked that the CRA Board will control the budget, not the City Commission. Director Earle asked The Mellgren Planning Group to provide an update. Minutes of Regular Meeting 2 City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Wednesday,August 5,2009—6:00 p.m. Jeff Katims and Swati Meshram, The Mellgren Planning Group, provided an update on the Regional Activity Center (RAC) Land Use change. Mr. Katims advised that the issue is currently with the Planning Council and they will do the mail-out on August 14. The Planning Council will support the recommendation at their first meeting in September. He indicated that the Commission Workshop for the "One Code" will be held on August 18. Mr. Katims said that there will be a lot of map changes associated with the implementation of the "One Code". The RAC should be effective in January 2010 and the "One Code" will be effective in October 2009. He distributed some exhibits showing that, upon the adoption of the RAC, certain changes in the zoning will take place that are not possible today. Mr. Katims further said that the RAC is limited to the existing levels in intensity because of the water supply, and because RAC's get special attention, therefore the Dania Beach RAC may get a close review by Broward County. Bob Daniels, Community Development Director, noted that we do not have a water supply plan that is in compliance, however we are currently working on this problem with the South Florida Water Management District and the Department of Community Affairs. He indicated that we have a contract with the City of Hollywood for emergency water supply. However, the City of Hollywood has adequate water and is willing to sell it to the City. Mayor Castro asked what steps we need to take to demonstrate that we are serious about this issue. Director Daniels noted that all the necessary elements have been provided and the matter should be resolved within the next sixty days. w agreement with he City of Hollywood. The Board duetted the City Manager to work on a water ag eeme t t y y Board Member Jones motioned for the City Manager to work with the City of Hollywood, Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale to establish water agreements; seconded by Board Member Duke. The motion carried unanimously. Mayor Castro confirmed with Mr. Katims that we would need to go back to the Planning Council to request an increase in intensity. Mr. Katims remarked we have timing issues in order to be in compliance with the water supply plan, and also to finish all the rezoning for the amendment of the RAC. He further explained each of the zoning district maps provided, which are attached to and incorporated into these minutes. Mr. Katims noted that the regulations being proposed are flexible enough and would be good for the community. He indicated that this will be explained in detail at the Zoning Workshop to be held in about two weeks. Mr. Katims advised that the realistic case would be that the RAC will be completed by this time next year. Chairman Castro noted that the process with the Planning Council could take time because they do not normally like increasing intensity. Minutes of Regular Meeting 3 City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Wednesday,August 5,2009—6:00 p.m. 4. CRA Incentive Programs Jeremy Earle, CRA Director, noted that Kim Briesemeister, Metro Strategies, Inc., wrote these plans for us. He was pleased to say that the Dania Beach CRA would be offering housing and commercial incentives as well as fagade improvement programs. Kim Briesemeister, Metro Strategies, Inc., responded for Board Member Duke that we are getting attention because of what we are doing; we are becoming recognized as business friendly. She noted that marketing is important. The next step is what type of collaterals we might have that CRA Director Earle can distribute at conventions and conferences. Ms. Briesemeister advised that she will be working with CRA Director Earle in the preparation of these promotional brochures to help market the City. She also said that the City Website will be expanded to include this information, and newsletters will be personally distributed to the businesses in town. Director Earle noted that we are in the process of getting the City Website revamped. The CRA Website will be a sub-site of the City Website which will include business incentives as well as marketing materials. Board Member Duke noted he is excited to see this program implemented and hoped business owners would participate. Chairman Castro asked Director Earle to include applications on the Website, such as the Enterprise Zone, Fagade Program, etc., for people to submit them electronically. Board Member Anton noted the Fagade Program is a good idea, and added that we did this some years ago. He said that we will have to take the first step in order to motivate the businesses in the area. Director Earle advised that our priority is to create an extensive streetscape improvement along Federal Highway. He further indicated that Attorney Cole has worked hard in the preparation of the "Request for Letters of Interest' which draft is attached in the agenda backup. Director Earle noted that the RLI will provide us the flexibility of having up to five different firms in each category. He added that the Landscape Architectural firm will be the first step to begin the design of the new signage, as well as Federal Highway landscaping. Board Member Duke motioned to approve the CRA Incentive Programs; seconded by Board Member Anton. The motion carried unanimously. Chairman Castro asked about the Main Street Program which was incorporated by the City several years ago. She wanted to know if we could apply for funds for this Program. Kim Briesemeister, Metro Strategies, Inc., noted the CRA is a more powerful tool. However, she advised that the Main Street Program could be used for obtaining grants and advertising. Ms. Briesemeister further indicated that there should be other revenue sources identified in the 2010 Budget.
