Vice- Mayor Castro further noted that Westrec Marina Management has a reputation with the City. However, she likes the second firm (FAB Consulting Group) because they are very realistic as regards cost and expense to evolving the Marina into where it should be. The third firm (Aqua Marine Partners Dania Beach, LLC) commented that the scoring was wrong. Mayor McElyea questioned how many more years we have to pay FAU for the Marina. Commissioner Anton responded until 2012. He noted the location comment made by all three firms was unwarranted. There is a need for dockage for smaller boats. Commissioner Anton remarked that some serious work has to be done at the Marina and we need to put money into the repairs, otherwise we will have to shut it down. He is leaning toward Westrec Marina due to our long standing history with them. Furthermore, they might be able to provide our Marina with some of their overflow or smaller boats which would not fit into Harbour Towne. Mayor McElyea passed the gavel and motioned to enter into negotiations with Westrec Marina for Marina Management Services; seconded by Commissioner Anton. Commissioner Duke noted this is a difficult decision for the Commission because the Request for Proposals (RFP) was flawed.

Vice-Mayor Castro suggested we include the ranking for all three firms in the motion. Mayor McElyea amended the motion to include the ranking for all three firms, as follows: Westrec Marina Management, FAB Consulting Group and Aqua Marina Partners, LLC; seconded by Commissioner Anton.

Discussion and Possible Action 10.1 Discussion of Water Supply Issue with Keith and Schnars Minutes of Regular Meeting 9 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,March 23,2010—7:00 p.m. Tim Hall, Keith and Schnars, presented a PowerPoint overview of the Water Supply Report, which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. He advised that due to time constraints for the Comprehensive Plan, their recommendation is to contract with the City of Hollywood for finished water supply. Commissioner Duke questioned how much the City has already spent on the nanofiltration plant. Mr. Hall advised about 20% of the funds. Commissioner Duke confirmed with Mr. Hall that if there was more time available, other alternatives would be pursued. Commissioner Duke questioned the likelihood of regaining the 1.8 MGD on the well. Mr. Hall responded staff is confident; however he would not want to give an opinion on this matter. Louis Aurigemma, Director of Civil Engineering, Keith and Schnars, explained the $1M Hollywood charge was for the reserved capacity. Discussion followed between Commissioner Duke and Keith and Schnars representatives regarding the recommended option to contract with the City of Hollywood. Mr. Aurigemma also commented on today's meeting held at the SFWMD office with the City of Hallandale Beach and Broward County, which he and Director Daniels attended. He noted they left the meeting with a good feeling, but their concern is timing. Commissioner Duke remarked this is a very frustrating position for the City to be dealing with. John Mulliken, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), commented today's meeting was very encouraging. He noted they have never done a permit of this nature in less than 60 days, let alone two permits. Mr. Mulliken stated that they will turn everything around as quickly as they can,depending on the information received. Vice-Mayor Castro thanked the SFWMD for their flexibility during this process. She noted the City of Hollywood seems to have control. Vice-Mayor Castro questioned if a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) could be included in the agreement. Mr. Mulliken responded this is all based on a technical analysis which will be done once the City has finished drilling the new well. Vice-Mayor Castro asked if the SFWMD was for or against horizontal wells. Mr. Mulliken indicated they do not have a policy on horizontal wells. He further noted horizontal wells have not been applied as a public water supply in Florida. Mr. Mulliken Minutes of Regular Meeting 10 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,March 23,2010—7:00 p.m. commented that horizontal wells would help capture water when it is raining, but the water is really needed during the dry season. The other issue with horizontal wells in South Florida in particular is the high risk of contamination. Further discussion ensued between Vice-Mayor Castro and Mr. Mulliken regarding the possible water source alternatives in Florida. Vice-Mayor Castro asked if there would be a conditional approval of the Regional Activity Center (RAC) application, subject to the City having a contract in place showing that Broward County/Hollywood is capable to provide us with the water we need. Mr. Mulliken noted it depends on the terms of the contract. In response to Vice-Mayor Castro's question, Mr. Mulliken confirmed that tests have been conducted and there is saltwater intrusion in our wells. Vice-Mayor Castro confirmed with City Manager Baldwin that this is not an item for the April 10 workshop therefore, it needs to be brought forward at a Commission meeting if action is required. Mr. Aurigemma noted that the City has a Water Consumptive Use Permit with the SFWMD for 1.8 MGD which is restricted to 1.1 MGD until the study is approved. He added that this permit expires December 31, 2012. Commissioner Duke remarked that nothing has changed in four months and the solution is still the same. He does not see us getting this solved and it is costing taxpayers a lot of money. Mr. Mulliken noted they are waiting for information from Hallandale and Broward County. The biggest issue is time. Vice-Mayor Castro suggested the City of Hollywood should be looked at becoming a regional water supplier. She stated that at some point, she would like to enforce the current agreement that we have with Broward County. Vice-Mayor Castro thought that there would be faster results if Dania Beach, Hallandale and the County partnered on this issue and go before the SFWMD. Lastly, she noted she would rather move with Broward County because Hollywood is an expensive alternative. 11. Commission Comments 11.1 Commissioner Anton Commissioner Anton advised he attended the grand opening of Wasp Fueling Systems, Inc., a new marine-related business in the City. They are involved in green technology, and quicker fueling of vessels. Minutes of Regular Meeting 11 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,March 23,2010—7:00 p.m. Commissioner Anton congratulated Vice-Mayor Castro on her work as Mayor. He also congratulated "Mac" on becoming the Mayor. 11.2 Commissioner Duke Commissioner Duke congratulated Mayor McElyea and Vice-Mayor Castro. Commissioner Duke noted that the Town Hall meeting at the Estates of Fort Lauderdale was a great idea and we should do it on a regular basis. He noted that he and Vice-Mayor Castro were present, as well as City staff,but only 30 residents attended the meeting. Commissioner Duke noted he attended a Broward County Workshop regarding government spending in cities. He will provide the report to the other members of the Commission. Commissioner Duke advised he attends the Charter Review Board meetings and they are making progress. He noted he is concerned with the City Attorney's knowledge of our Charter, considering he has been here for 14 years. Commissioner Duke noted that the Green Advisory Board has imploded. He remarked that we need to regroup and make new appointments. Commissioner Duke advised that the Sunshine Law training was only attended by half of the board members. He asked what we are doing about it. Vice-Mayor Castro suggested we provide more opportunities. She further noted she has attended two classes of the Institute of Elected Municipal Officers (IEMO) which included Sunshine Law as well as other important issues for which she has received certifications. Vice-Mayor Castro said that people should be able to offer alternatives to the City Clerk. Commissioner Duke noted the Pilot Outreach Center is good. He advised that follow up letters will be sent out with an April 10 deadline. Commissioner Duke asked about the status of employee parking during construction. He pointed out that it makes sense to have employees parked at City Hall. City Manager Baldwin noted a parking plan is being re-designed. He advised that the Commission spots will be moved to the back of the building, there will be 15 designated customer spots in the front of the building and employees will be able to park at City Hall. Commissioner Duke noted we are three weeks away from the Special Election and historically we get flyers, mail-outs, telephone calls, etc. He noted that Richie Tarrant, our community service officer, approached one of the members of Bobbie Grace's campaign and said that "a reign of hell is going to come down on Bobbie Grace in the next three weeks". Commissioner Duke asked for good informed voters. 11.3 Vice-Mayor Castro Minutes of Regular Meeting 12 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,March 23,2010—7:00 p.m. Vice-Mayor Castro thanked the Estates of Ft. Lauderdale for hosting us, and City Clerk Stilson for making the necessary arrangements for the meeting. Vice-Mayor Castro questioned if pooper scoopers were installed along the Linear Park. She asked staff to look into the matter. Vice-Mayor Castro noted that Ravenswood Estates just passed a change to their by-laws to allow concrete block structures (CBS) construction to replace mobile homes at their park. She indicated that they will be coming to the City for the zoning code changes for which they will have to pay $5,000. Vice-Mayor Castro requested a waiver of the application fees which will soon be presented before the Commission. Furthermore, there will be advertising costs involved in the application and they may also need our help with that. She thought these changes would be good for the residents and the City. Vice-Mayor Castro advised she has been researching ethics, lobbying and fair campaign election practices. She noted during election cycles you have to take it in stride and unfortunately there is misinformation on both of our candidates. Vice-Mayor Castro hoped that the pettiness will not prevent the voters from coming out to vote and get involved. She looks forward to the Charter Review Board moving the elections to November. Vice-Mayor Castro encouraged everyone to get out and vote on Tuesday, April 13. Vice-Mayor Castro is looking into an ethics ordinance and will discuss it with the City Attorney before bringing it to the Commission. Vice-Mayor Castro congratulated "Mad' on being the Mayor, and expressed her appreciation to him for selecting her as Vice-Mayor, and for his confidence in her skills. 11.4 Mayor McElyea Mayor McElyea noticed palm trees are turning yellow. He thought there should be an ordinance to take them down before we lose them all. 12. Appointments Vice-Mayor Castro asked staff to check if the other members on the Unsafe Structures Board whose terms have expired, would like to be reappointed. Commissioner Duke appointed Albert Owler as the Real Estate Appraiser to the Unsafe Structures Board. Vice-Mayor Castro motioned to approve the appointment; seconded by Commissioner Anton. The motion carried unanimously. Minutes of Regular Meeting 13 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,March 23,2010—7:00 p.m. 13.

Overall, our city is in good shape. While other cities are struggling with redevelopment and economic development, Dania Beach has been doing well. Over the oast several years, many projects have been approved and either started or completed this Past year including: • Our library is finally underway and includes a $3 million match from our partners at Broward County. • We've also been able to leverage some of the $6.3 million capital redevelopment, which we obtained from the County, to include the 400+ space parking garage. In addition, this project will eventually include some mixed use on the site as well. • The developer for the parking garage has also obtained approval by the Intercontinental Hotel Group for an Indigo hotel on US 1 located directly in front of the garage. • We also opened several new hotels along the 1-95 corridor adding over 1,000 rooms with another 500 on the way. • The SW Community Center and Linear Park, the latter of which is part of the SE storm water drainage project have been completed. • We're almost done constructing a new Public Works facility. • We have also opened many new businesses in Dania Beach, including the new Tesla Electric sports car showroom, and the new Robin Stuckey Design Center. All of these projects, as well the new hotels, have generated hundreds of jobs in our city. • We've held several successful community events including the MILK celebration, Arts & Antiques Festival, Antique Motorcycle Event and the Dania Beach Blast. • We implemented the Code Amnesty program resulting in clearing over 100 code cases, recovering $133,324.50 in fines plus an additional $5,888.57 in other outstanding city fees and costs for a total of$139,213.07 to date. • We have also continued the rejuvenation of our neighborhoods by installing missing sidewalks, solar street lights and traffic calming measures. • We are using technology to further involve our citizens in our process including using Twitter, Facebook, hot topics on the web site, as well as live web streaming of the Commission meetings. • We have received millions of dollars in grants for everything from the time for kids program, to water plant construction, to fire equipment. We have many more applications pending for additional funds. • We have Purchased 3 new Fire vehicles for over $1.5 million including a 75' Pierce Ladder Truck which was delivered this past month. We will receive a second one which is currently being built this summer, and we will also take delivery on a new rescue unit next month. We have replaced the firefighters' Self Contained Breathing Unit Apparatus, bunker gear and other necessary fire equipment. We have also developed many plans that are realistic and can actually be implemented. They include: • The West Side Master Plan • The Regional Activity Center, which we modify one more time this summer to complete the framework for redevelopment of our commercial corridors. • Designing One Code for the entire City • Expansion of our CRA to include some of the local neighborhoods with the most needs. • Although we have obtained our Water Consumption Use Permit from the South Florida Water Management District, we have also made significant progress resolving the City's long-term water supply. All of these items, especially the Regional Activity Center, will position our city far ahead of all other cities with respect to our redevelopment, especially in light of the fact that if Amendment 4 passes in November, all land use changes will come to a standstill, however, we will have completed ours and it will allow the necessary flexibility for property owners to ensure smart growth and redevelopment in our city. We also were able to expand our CRA to include College Gardens, Dania Beach Heights, Triangle Village, and Sun Garden Isles, which allowed us to secure funding this year for rejuvenation of our neighborhoods. I also want to mention the south runway expansion project. While the lawsuit has been filed with the District Court of Appeals, and I have read the brief and believe it is a very good case, I want to commend Commissioner Anton and others who were able to negotiate a better pilot noise mitigation program for our residents. First, they were able to remove the most onerous aspect of the County contract, which included a property owner giving up an avigational easement, and precluding them from further noise mitigation programs. Second, they were able to address the question of liens against the property owners, which is still being worked on, but appears to be getting resolved to the benefit of the homeowner. Lastly, I am committed to further tax reduction this year. Although property values are dropping and it is going to become more difficult for cities to meet operational and capital improvement expenses, I know it is that much harder for families and seniors to make ends meet, so I will work hard to continue reducing property taxes, while encouraging smart growth redevelopment as well as expansion of our marine, tourism and education industries. In closing, I have been and will also remain committed to the continued rejuvenation of our neighborhoods including reducing crime, improving their appearance, and leveraging our Community Redevelopment Agency. I know I have and will continue to serve with professionalism, honesty and integrity and in that vein will immediately pursue updated ethics, lobbying and fair election ordinances to ensure open transparent government that will benefit our citizens and city I want to thank staff for supporting me during this past year. We have one of the best city staffs in South Florida and they are often overlooked! I also want to thank the City Manager, City Attorney, CRA Director and other department heads for their hard work. Finally, I want to thank my friends, neighbors, my husband Oscar and my son Jimmy, all of whom have supported and will continue to support me in my journey through life. Again, it has been my pleasure and honor to serve you the people of Dania Beach as your Mayor for another year and I hope I have done so in a positive and humble manner. I want thank all of you for your continued support as we continue moving forward. Now, it is my honor and privilege to turn the gavel over to our new Mayor Charles "Mac" McElyea. s REQUEST TO ADDRESS CITY COMMISSION AT REGULAR OR SPECIAL MEETINGS The City is required by state law to keep minutes of City Commission meetings.

A 13 Date: March 23, 2010 To: Mayor Anne Castro Vice Mayor C. W. McElyea Commissioner Bob Anton Commissioner Walter B. Duke III From: Robert Baldwin,City Mana46____ Re: Oasis Program The City Commission requested the City Manager to set up a Crime Task Force to address some of the crime concerns of the residents. In the course of our meetings, we decided to request the City Commission approve a trial program that we feel will have a positive effect. The Broward Sheriffs Office is working hard to respond to crime, but as you know, the causes for residential crime that lead to police action are more commonly the condition of neighborhoods and the quality of the living environment. Improving neighborhoods and surrounding areas has a long-range impact on reducing neighborhood crime. As part of our recommendations to the Commission,we are recommending a program to improve neighborhoods. The Oasis Program we are proposing is, in part,directly related to the"Broken Windows"theory that has proved itself over the past 28 years. The theory states that if low-level crime and anti- social behavior is deterred, major crime will be prevented. Beyond that we feel by concentrating attention on improving a manageable area of a neighborhood that is experiencing chronic problems, the entire neighborhood should improve and a reduction in crime will result. The Oasis area we target,will receive increased attention from the City including: 1) Improvements to private property through volunteerism and limited funding opportunities 2) Increased voluntary code compliance and building department review 3) Improvements to public landscaping, street lighting, and streetscape 4)Signage and boundary setting 5) Possible changes in vehicular and pedestrian traffic patterns 6) Increased citizen involvement and cooperation 7) Increased Law Enforcement attention as necessary In trying to identify an area for our initial Oasis Program,we hoped to identity an area with chronic residential crime concerns that was manageable. Code Compliance and the Broward Sheriff's Office agreed that S. W. 3rd Ave. from Dixie Highway to Sheridan would be a strong candidate for our first Oasis area. Hopefully, if successful,we can expand the program to other areas of the City in the future. We are recommending the Commission give staff conceptual approval to work with the residents of the proposed area to formulate a detailed program for future City Commission approval and Implementation.
