3.3 Request by Charles Murphy for the City of Dania Beach to allocate funds toward the
Dania Beach Bears Football Team
Commissioner Grace noted she appeared before the Commission last year with Mr. Murphy, and
it has been confirmed that the Commission approved to allocate $5,000.00 to the Dania Beach
Bears. She encouraged the Commission to include funding every year until the Commission
decides they are not doing what they should be doing. Commissioner Grace noted that they need
to insure that they clean up the park after the games.
Commissioner Grace motioned to allocate$5,000.00 plus $1,800.00 that they spent to re-sod
the field, to the Dania Beach Bears Football Team; seconded by Commissioner Duke.
Commissioner Duke concurred that we should fund this indefinitely. He remarked the
importance of getting our youth involved in any type of sports. Commissioner Duke further
spoke about the clean up of the park and noted that the City needs to pitch in and get a regular
clean up schedule after these events.
City Manager Baldwin noted they were entitled to the $5,000.00 and it should not be included in
the motion. It should only be for the $1,800.00 spent on the sod.
Commissioner Anton was concerned that the Dania Beach Bears Football Team had to pay for
the re-sod of the field, when this is a City park. He pointed out that we have a number of teams
and events happening in the City and we may be hit by other requests. Commissioner Anton
thought we should leave these issues for the budget and allocate funds for the parks. He would
rather wait before allocating any funds.
Commissioner Grace noted that the field is not complete. She confirmed with Kristen Jones,
Director of Parks and Recreation, that there are funds in the budget to finish the re-sod.
Commissioner Anton requested a friendly amendment to the motion to add a discussion item to
the upcoming budget for consideration.
Commissioner Grace agreed to the amendment to the motion. She clarified this would only
be for reimbursement of$1,800.00 to the Dania Beach Bears Football Team. The motion
carried unanimously.

water. Ms. Ferrell said that her requests have been ignored by the Condominium Association
and added that there are health and safety issues that need to be addressed. She indicated the
Association and neighbors are aware of the situation but nobody is doing anything.
Commissioner Duke questioned if this was a City issue and whether we should give any type of
legal advice to Ms. Ferrell.
Vice-Mayor Castro confirmed with Ms. Ferrell that she has been disabled for 24 years. She
further noted that she will contact the Advocacy Center for Persons with Disabilities to see if
they can assist her.
Commissioner Anton asked City Attorney Ansbro if this would be something to bring to the
attention of the Unsafe Structures Board.
City Attorney Ansbro noted both Community Development Director Daniels and Public Services
Director Orlando have pictures of Ms. Ferrell's apartment. He said we could send someone to
look at the problem to see if we can help her.
Colin Donnelly, Assistant City Manager, noted he received information today regarding the
availability of federal funds for methods to mitigate storm damage. He advised that we
responded today that we would be looking for $3.3M to assist in a residential stormwater project
in the SE area. Assistant City Manager Donnelly indicated that he could contact Broward

measures for homeowners.

City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Resolution#2010-103.
Commissioner Grace questioned if bids had gone out to other banks.
City Manager Baldwin noted this is an extension of the current banking agreement with Wells
Fargo.
Mark Bates, Director of Finance, noted that an RFP was recently performed by the City of
Hollywood and it was awarded to Wells Fargo Bank. We compared this bid and the banking
fees proposed are higher than what we are currently paying under our existing agreement.
Mayor McElyea thought we should rebid.
Commissioner Grace concurred.
Commissioner Duke questioned what is covered under this contract extension and why this is a
"term"agreement and not an "at will' agreement.
Finance Director Bates advised that the agreement is for regular banking services and daily
transactions. He explained that typically banks will not contract for more than 3 years because
of the changing price structures. Finance Director Bates noted that based on the current market,
this is a better deal. He said that changing banks is not easy because of the many hours it would
take to setup a new system as well as testing and implementation. Finance Director Bates
pointed out that an RFP is a monstrous undertaking for an organization, which creates a big
impact on the operations.

Vice-Mayor Castro clarified this is not an exclusive agreement for services with Wells Fargo.
She explained that with an RFP we will lose the current rates we have with Wells Fargo.

unique situation where Wells Fargo is willing to maintain their current rates. Finance Director
Bates reiterated that if we go out to RFP we will have higher rates.

interested in passing higher fees to anyone. She agreed with staff s recommendation,
considering that we have a vendor who is willing to provide the same services at the same rates.

Attachments: Traffic Logix.pdf
Hi Dominic,
I did some research with the City of Coral Springs who has been using portable speed humps for over 3
years.
They use a traffic calming product from Traffic Logix (www.trafficlogix.com). The units are about 3.5'
x 18" and can be arranged to make speed humps, cushions, or tables. The city uses them in each lane
running about 6' across and each cushion has 16 pieces. They have been installing them for over 3 years
and have not relocated them,but have resurfaced roads and were able to pull them up and put them back
down. The only issue that they've had is where the unit was being pushed because of the heavy traffic.
They
re-inspect and epoxy the bolts once a year and that corrects any movement.
Material cost is approximately $2,420 based on a 14'x24' speed hump. Installation cost is not included.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Oscar R. Bello, P.E.
