A detailed email request is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. It was the consensus of the Commission to allow the use of the property for 90 days. The City Attorney will discuss the issue with City staff to work out the details. Nick Lupo, Code Compliance Manager, noted he has already been in touch with FPL and they have tentatively worked out some of the restrictions to protect the City and make sure that the time does not exceed the 90-day request. Rose Lizana, 214 SE 2"d Street, spoke in favor of the request by G&G Shipping. Bobbie Grace, 110 NW 8`h Avenue, reminded everyone of the ribbon cutting ceremony at the SW Community Center on Saturday, February 13 at 12:00 p.m. She provided an update of the Relay for Life activities. David Clark, 411 SE 5`h Street, noted he requested a total sum on the Linear Park and traffic circle projects and received the information. He spoke about the irrigation item on the list of costs for the projects. Mr. Clark pointed out that to date the City has spent almost $1 M on the two projects and said that if this was Bond money we would need to pay back with interest. He further commented on an article published on January 31, 2010 regarding the water issues the City is currently facing. Mr. Clark would like the water issue to be re-visited after April 13 when we will have a full Commission. Lastly, he asked what we received for the money spent on these projects. Commissioner Duke invited the public to attend the workshop on Saturday to address the Commission. Mayor Castro noted the workshop is for the City Commission. Victoria Payne, Chamber of Commerce, provided an update on upcoming Chamber events. David Eiglarsh, 304 Mallard Road, Weston, represents a group of men called the power- paragliders. He spoke in opposition to the proposed Ordinance #2010-003. Mr. Eiglarsh advised that their group is self-regulated with certifications issued by federal recognized aviation institutions. He noted the many contributions their aviation activities provide to the community. Mr. Eiglarsh stated that they are willing to work with the City to come up with an alternative solution. Patrick Phipps, PO Box 897, commented on the antique car and motorcycle show last weekend. He noted things are changing in Dania Beach and he is happy about it. Jocelyn Lummis, 809 NW 10`h Avenue, noted on January 301h she received "fan mail' in her mailbox. She noted she is a member of the Airport Advisory Board. Ms. Lummis stated that this offensive letter, which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes, will make her work harder to make Dania Beach a better place to live. 6. Public Safety Reports Minutes of Regular Meeting 2 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, February 9, 2010—7:00 p.m. Donn Peterson, BSO Chief, was available to answer questions regarding a news story that was on Channel 7 regarding an alleged beating of a supposedly Dania Beach resident at the hands of BSO. Mayor Castro would like a phone call at a later date with more information on this issue. She further commended BSO for a job well done on the incident at Meadowbrook involving an elderly lady. Commissioner Duke commented on the Fire Department discussion from the last meeting. He referred to the report provided by Fire Chief McCartt in October, 2009 regarding the status of the department. Commissioner Duke further said that the department does not have adequate equipment, and does not have adequate staff. He provided details of the needs of the department and added that he wanted to set the record straight. Commissioner Duke directed the City Manager to tell Chief McCartt to address the Commission at the next meeting and tell them what is needed, so that we can get it done. Mayor Castro noted that at the last meeting Deputy Fire Chief Cassano stated that everything was fine in the department. She explained the costs involved in the purchase of fire equipment and the difficult economic times we are facing. Mayor Castro pointed out that this Commission and the previous one have always supported the Fire Department. She spoke about the City's revenue loss in the upcoming year and the discussions with the Fire Department to find alternative solutions regarding their retirement plan. Mayor Castro stated we are not playing politics in the Chamber anymore because it is not appropriate. Furthermore, we are not going to terrorize the residents of Dania Beach with all sorts of accusations just to suit someone's political purpose. She asked Chief McCartt and Deputy Chief Cassano to come before the Commission at the next meeting with their statements. Vice-Mayor McElyea questioned if we are hiring a new Fire Chief as a result of Jack McCartt's resignation. He noted there have been very few breakdowns of the fire equipment; he would know because his company tows the equipment. Vice-Mayor McElyea stated he thinks our equipment is good. He said he has always supported the Fire Department. Commissioner Anton recommended the City Manager find out the maintenance problems with the fire equipment. He agreed with the Mayor that using scare tactics was unfair to the citizens. Commissioner Anton said the comments made at a political rally stating the Commission is not doing anything to address the Fire Department's problems is an affront to him and the rest of the elected officials. 7.

Discussion and Possible Action 10.1 Discussion of Code Compliance foreclosed property located at 47 NW 14 Avenue, Dania Beach Nick Lupo, Code Compliance Manager, noted a Certificate of Title was issued by the Clerk of Court transferring title to the subject property to the City of Dania Beach. He further explained that the cost to the City is $6,000 plus the demolition of the structure which is considered unsafe. The property is worth $13,460. He pointed out that the City must pay the property taxes currently owed, to avoid any action by Broward County to place this property on a tax deed sale. Commissioner Duke noted the property has little market value and the City should consider keeping it for a pocket park. It was the consensus of the Commission to pay the property taxes and demolish the structure. The Commission further suggested bringing the issue back after the property is demolished. Mr. Lupo suggested we take a portion (approximately 10%) of the code violation fines we receive and keep them separately from our operating budget, for future use to board up houses and foreclosed and abandoned properties. Mayor Castro noted it is a good idea and suggested discussing it during the upcoming budget process. 10.2 Selection of Special Counsel for A to X Video Outlet Store Adult Use Litigation - City Attorney City Attorney Ansbro noted we ran out of insurance money and we need the balance of the funds to pay the defense in this litigation case. He said he obtained cost quotes from the current council and Weiss Serota. City Attorney Ansbro further advised that costs will be recovered through the code fines being accrued daily. He confirmed that to date the amount of$75,000 is available to the City at a local bank. City Attorney Ansbro recommended hiring the law firm of Weiss Serota.

Commissioner Anton pointed out we will need to watch our expenses very closely in order to move in the right direction. 11.2 Commissioner Duke Commissioner Duke noted the Vintage Motorcycle Show held last weekend was a success. He further said that the Folk Art and Antique Festival was not very well attended and that it was only busy at the organizer's cafd.

This would not involve any type of zoning approval (such as a"special exception"), but simply an understanding that code compliance would not be required for a maximum of 90 days, as to storage of vehicles to be shipped, related to the relief effort. Other use details could also be established by the City. Mr. Hempel will appear at tonight's meeting under Citizens" Comments From: Jim Hampel [mailto:jhampel@gandgshipping.com] Sent:Tuesday, February 09, 2010 11:54 AM To: Ansbro,Tom Subject: FW: URGENT Dania/Haiti cargo Tom, Pursuant to conversation, I am forwarding this email to your attention so that it may be forwarded on to the City Commissioners and the Community Development Director in advance of tonight's meeting. During the civic comments portion, I intend to speak to the commission in regards to the following: G&G Shipping has mobilized four of its cargo vessels to assist with the Haiti Earthquake Relief effort. Yesterday, Feb 8rh, we sent out a shipment of flatbed trucks that, upon arrival in Haiti, will assist in delivering desperately needed relief goods to the citizens of that county. More vehicle shipments will follow. National non-profit organizations have contacted G&G to use us as resource in delivering these much needed vehicles and supplies to Haiti. It is anticipated, that"relief cargo volumes will continue to grow in the next 90 days and we are doing everything possible to store these items within our existing facilities. However, G&G may reach a point where it would become necessary to utilize alternate storage sites near our port in Dania. There is a 2-acre site that is nearby, owned by FPL, adjacent to an existing leased parcel we occupy from FPL. However, the two-acre parcel is presently registered in Dania zoning office as undeveloped land and no permitted uses are allowed at this time. Last year, FPL incurred fines with the City of Dania in order to make the parcels comply with present zoning classification (see below email) and thus they are hesitant to have any business operation resume use on the parcel. Nonetheless, as landlord, they would be willing to assist with the earthquake relief efforts and possibly allow G&G Shipping to utilize the parcels for this cause, contingent upon the clear understanding & agreement with the City of Dania Beach that there would not be additional assessments from the city. Since the parcels presently have no permitted use, my intention in speaking tonight is to seek approval with City of Dania Beach officials and request a special "use exception" be granted to allow G&G to temporarily store earthquake relief cargoes on these two acres for a period up to 90 days. As Jeff Long (FPL) indicates below: "provided that FPL and city zoning and code enforcement mutually agreed to permissible conditions", he has provided his landlord consent below. 2/9/2010 Page 2 of 3 As we look to find ways to assist the people and country of Haiti, this is one way, on a local level, right here in Dania Beach that we can have a direct positive impact! Tom, your assistance to please forward this on to the appropriate City council members is greatly appreciated. Best regards...Jim Hampel From: Long,Jeffrey[mailto:Jeffrey.Long@fpl.com] Sent: Monday, February 08, 2010 2:10 PM To: 'SGanoe@Sgohns-ship.com'; mike; Jim Hampel Subject: RE: URGENT Dania/Haiti cargo Gentlemen, I'm certainly in favor of efforts to support disaster recovery in Haiti, and I know that City of Dania Beach officials will feel the same, but given what FPL has experienced in resolving code violations issued by the City for the subject site and given that G&G caused a large share of those violations, I will not grant an unconditional approval at this time for G&G to resume using it even on a temporary basis. The violations have cost FPL a combined total of tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue, cleanup by external contractors, business travel and payroll expenses, and a monetary fine. However, in the spirit of humanitarian assistance, I hereby grant tentative approval contingent upon understanding and agreement between FPL and the City as to such things including, but not limited to, the nature of the use, anticipated duration, hours of operation, maintenance standards, etc. If FPL and the City agree on all such matters, then I will allow G&G to temporarily use the site to support the relief effort. You may share this letter with City officials. If they agree to support it, then I will work with them to define the scope and choose from a few methods that I can implement to facilitate it.

We may not have sufficient existing space to store these items. Speaking with City Attorney- Dania Beach, Tom Ansbro, he stated that G&G can attend tomorrow night's city commission meeting to request approval seeking special exception from code enforcement in order to store vehicles and container loads on the parcels held on FPL's former leased land from Grady and G&G. 2/9/2010 Page 3 of 3 Before attending the meeting, we of course need approval from FPL.
