3. Presentations and Special Event Approvals
3.1 Presentation by the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office — Charles
Vasquez
Fred Bellis, Elections Operations Coordinator/Executive Assistant, and Charles Vasquez, LT.
Department, of the Supervisor of Elections Office, presented a brief overview of the election
process for the upcoming 2010 elections.
Commissioner Duke asked if the Supervisor of Elections Office had discussed the possibility of
Amendment 4 passing and what the impacts would be to their office in terms of elections.
Mr. Bellis noted his office is not prepared to comment on this matter at this time.
3.2 Request by Mark Allsworth, Esq., representing the Lender, American National Bank,
and Robert Haber, Esq., representing the property owner, to modify the existing
Access Easement Agreement with Stirling Design Limited Partnership for property
located at 1245-1249 Stirling Road, Dania Beach, Florida
Mark Allsworth, attorney for the lender, American National Bank, addressed the Commission
regarding an easement that the City granted in July, 2009. He explained that the easement is
required in order to access the bay doors in the rear of the building. The easement was approved
with the condition that access is restricted to the owner and the tenant. Attorney Allsworth
indicated that the tenants request that the conditions be removed. The owner notes that the
conditions affect the value of the property. He stated that the lender is a small community one-
branch bank and they have lost a lot of money on this property; he added that they are also very
involved in the community. Attorney Allsworth remarked that he has never seen an easement
with these conditions. He asked the Commission to consider their request and grant a standard
easement so they can keep this property as a performing one.
Robert Haber, attorney for the property owner, echoed the comments of Attorney Allsworth. He
asked for a favorable consideration to their request.
City Attorney Ansbro noted that granting an easement is typically for a lifetime. He advised that
one option could be for the City to sell the easement to the owner, provided we maintain an
underground easement for access to the sewer line. City Attorney Ansbro indicated that if we do
this, the owner would have to bear the cost of any appraisals and any other cost incurred by the
City on this property. He further noted that a resolution and appraisal are required by Charter
when City property is for sale.
Vice- Mayor Castro motioned to remove the conditions and keep the property; seconded by
Commissioner Anton. The motion carried on the following 3-2 Roll Call vote:
Commissioner Anton Yes Vice-Mayor Castro Yes
Commissioner Duke No Mayor McElyea Yes
Commissioner Grace No
3.3 Update on Beach Operations and Projects by Albert Adams, Ocean Rescue Chief
Albert Adams, Ocean Rescue Chief, presented a PowerPoint overview of beach operations.
3.4 Presentation by Corinne Lajoie, Principal Planner, Community Development
Department, of a proposed Airport District "IROM-AA' (Industrial Research Office
Marine-Airport Approach)
Corinne Lajoie, AICP, Principal Planner, presented an overview of the proposed IROM-AA
Zoning District, which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes.
Commissioner Duke supported the use. He thought the proposed new zoning district would help
with our goal to become a marine-friendly city. Commissioner Duke mentioned some examples
of businesses that have not been able to sell or rent because of the current zoning limitations. He
commended staff for their efforts to accommodate the needs of the market that are affected by
being on the flight path.

Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,July 27,2010—7:00 p.m.
Commissioner Anton supported the use. He further noted that he would like to see the area
expanded to include Banyan Bay and Marina Mile, towards Griffin Road to SW 45' or 481s
Streets.
Ms. Lajoie confirmed with Commissioner Anton that he would like the area to expand north and
south but stay off Griffin Road.
Vice-Mayor Castro noted we should be careful with the residential neighborhoods because
buffering may work for parking, but not for traffic. She further remarked if we are planning to
expand the area, we should be mindful that ingress and egress should be kept out of the
residential streets.
4. Proclamations
4.1 Choose Peace— Stop Violence Week
This item was pulled from the agenda.
5. Citizen Comments
Rosa L. Davis and Rodney Davis, 710 SW 40i Terrace, noted their house was vandalized and the
water was left running for two weeks. Mr. Davis advised that he will be moving into the house
and requested an abatement of the high water bill.
Mayor McElyea indicated that the City may be able to waive the sewer portion of the bill.
Commissioner Anton noted he told Mr. Davis to talk to the Finance Director. He said he has no
problem waiving the sewer portion of the bill. Commissioner Anton indicated he would like to
work with Mr. Davis to arrange for a payment plan.
It was the consensus of the Commission to have City Manager Baldwin work with Mr. Davis, to
possibly waive the sewer portion of the bill and work out a payment plan.
Linda Sacco, 4481 SW 38d' Terrace, Davis Isles, is concerned that crime will escalate in her
community during the transition of the area if the Airport expands.
Pat Rafacz, 610 Trafalgar Court, commented that several residents in her community thought the
flooding workshop would have been televised. She requested an update on the situation.
Commissioner Duke noted it was his flooding workshop and there was a good turnout. He noted
that people with questions can contact him through the City website or his cell phone.
Commissioner Duke advised that he will be posting his comments on the City website.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 3
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,July 27,2010—7:00 p.m.
Vice-Mayor Castro noted that the flooding in the southeast neighborhood has been around for a
long time. She said it has been a challenge to get permits to address the flooding in that area.
Vice-Mayor Castro advised that the Linear Park is part of the solution to the flooding issue in
that section of the City, but not completely. She commended Representative Evan Jenne for
supporting this issue at higher levels. Vice-Mayor Castro read a letter that she received from the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) regarding the flooding on Sheridan Street,
between US and 5a' Avenue, which states this issue would be included in their 2011-2012 work
program. She noted that Public Services has a plan to make improvements by 2012. Vice-
Mayor Castro further commented that Sheridan East has a floodgate problem on their property.
She remarked that we are looking at 1-2 years before the problem is resolved, in addition to an
expenditure of approximately $5.5M. Vice-Mayor Castro indicated that the stormwater issues
west of I-95 are also being addressed.
Dominic Orlando, Director of Public Services, confirmed that Sheridan East has a design that
backs up onto their property. He explained that the site is contained to hold water on site during
rainstorms. Director Orlando further said that if a flap gate was installed, it would keep water
from the adjoining property from draining onto Sheridan East.
Vice-Mayor Castro would like staff to prepare a draft of what will be done by the various
agencies and that a letter be sent to the affected residents in the area. She reiterated that this will
be a 2-year process but we are working on it. Vice-Mayor Castro requested an estimate of the
mailing cost from the City Manager.
Commissioner Duke noted that the Linear Park has nothing to do with drainage per Calvin
Giordano. He added that we must keep the residents informed.
Director Orlando clarified that the original design of the Linear Park included injection wells
which would have helped with the drainage. However, the state did not allow it. The Linear
Park was a major component of the storm drainage problem although some things have now
changed.
Commissioner Anton noted there are other areas in the City that have flooding problems. He
asked the Commission to consider increasing the stormwater fee so that we can move forward
more quickly with the flooding issues. Commissioner Anton noted that areas will flood if a
significant amount of rain falls; we need to deal with normal rainfalls.
Director Orlando confirmed that the cost to address all the flooding in the City would be
approximately $15420M.
Commissioner Grace noted that she attended Commissioner Duke's workshop. She was
impressed by the number of people who attended the meeting and talked about the flooding.
Commissioner Grace remarked that it was a city-wide flooding workshop, not just for the east
side. She stated that we need to stop nit picking each other and get on with the business of the
City.

Tuesday,July 27,2010—7:00 p.m.
6. Public Safety Reports
Joe Fernandez, Fire Chief, noted they had an opportunity to exercise the new equipment during
the recent tropical storm. He invited everyone to view the new Fire Department website.
Donn Peterson, BSO Chief of Police, introduced Commander Mike Grimm who will be acting as
the Dania Beach District's Assistant Chief of Police, and Lieutenant Diana Brown who will
serve as Patrol Commander. He advised that there will be an "active shooting" training session
tonight at Olsen Middle School. Chief Peterson reported that we have two School Resource
Offices working with our children during the summer program. He recognized Deputy Dan
Miller as employee of the month for catching kids tagging train cars with graffiti.
Commissioner Grace noted we have an increase in thefts this month. She asked if we were going
to be stepping it up a notch, and what Chief Peterson would do to keep us safe.
Chief Peterson mentioned some of the initiatives they have in place to keep the community safe.
The bicycle patrol has received positive feedback; they are also using the Habitual Offender
Tracking "HOT" program. The School Resource Deputies are in the community, they support
the Dania Beach Bears, and they kick up their operations during the summer.
Vice-Mayor Castro commented on the positive aspects of the monthly report from BSO. She
asked if the Justice Assistance Grant(JAG) was for the bicycle patrols.
Chief Peterson noted there are two JAG allocations, one that will be completely depleted by
September, 2010; and the 2009 JAG which includes more funds, and we can use for a period of
three years, provided the money is spent equitably during this period of time. He added that
originally the bicycle patrols were part of the OASIS Program.
City Manager Baldwin responded for Vice-Mayor Castro that the OASIS Program is still being
designed. He noted that he met with the property owners in the area who are very supportive of
the initiative. The Program will then be presented to the Civic Associations and finally to the
City Commission with staff s recommendation.
Chief Peterson provided an update on the Griffin Road traffic concerns. He noted that a
presentation was made by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and they have a
multi level plan on how to improve the area. The plan includes lighting improvements as well as
traffic designs, etc. Chief Peterson further advised the plan also included some items for the City
to take care of, such as trimming shrubbery. He added that FDOT did not identify any major
speed problems. Chief Peterson indicated he would provide further reports at a later date.
Vice-Mayor Castro noted that the Welcome sign at 44 and Griffin Road has graffiti. She further
asked if there are any plans for monitoring traffic during the first weeks of school.
Chief Peterson responded in the affirmative and noted he will report at the next meeting.
Vice-Mayor Castro asked Chief Peterson to look into the State Attorney Truancy Program.

WITHIN THE DANIA BEACH REGIONAL ACTIVITY CENTER ("RAC") AS OUTLINED IN BROWARD
COUNTY'S LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN ("LRTP"); PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS;
FURTHER,PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Resolution#2010-114.
Vice-Mayor Castro requested an update. She noted that two major issues will be impacting the
Regional Activity Center (RAC): water and traffic. Vice-Mayor Castro advised that Broward
County may give us Florida Power and Light's (FPL) water from Brian Piccolo Field, which
would solve our long term water problem. However, our short term water supply is still a
concern. She stated that the Commission may need to contact other elected officials to help with
the issue. Vice-Mayor Castro remarked that it is imperative that we have the RAC approved,
otherwise development will become slower and harder for us.
Bob Daniels, Director for Community Development, noted the transportation issue has become a
major obstacle. It has now been determined that the Department of Community Affairs (DCA)
does not accept the County's traffic analysis. Director Daniels advised that we need to assume
that every parcel will develop to its fullest capacity. He added that we have to recalculate based
on maximum impact and accept a lesser number of square feet for the residential. Director
Daniels requested that the Commission consider a higher mitigation amount ($1.8M). He
clarified that there is no cost to the City; it would be passed onto the developer.

is Item#10.2 of the Addendum.
Vice-Mayor Castro noted we need to know if we are getting to the point of no return with our
wells because the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) opposes use of our
wells. She asked what the alternative sources would be if we cannot use the wells. Vice-Mayor
Castro further questioned how much water we would get back when we start alleviating
ourselves of those responsibilities and tasks.
Director Orlando noted that eliminating some of our water uses will not help us. He advised that
the new well will produce 1-1.5MGD and it should be up and running in about six weeks.

11.4 Vice-Mayor Castro
Vice-Mayor Castro noted we need to do something about the beach meters, especially on
weekends.
Vice-Mayor Castro spoke about the information in the monthly reports regarding the southeast
and southwest areas. She noted we need to keep our community updated and arrange for public
meetings or prepare a mail-out with information on what we are planning to do. Vice-Mayor
Castro stated that we need to work on these issues and get them done.
Vice-Mayor Castro commented on the letter received from the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) regarding government access channel. She noted somebody needs to write
back to Michael S. Perko, Chief of Communications and Industry Information, and ask him
about the government access services on ATT UVerse which were promised to the consumers.
Vice-Mayor Castro asked City Manager Baldwin to contact Mr. Perko.
Vice-Mayor Castro would like to make an appointment with City Manager Baldwin and Finance
Director Bates to discuss The Government Spending by Cities in Broward County Report, which
was received by the Commission; specifically health insurance costs, salaries and other
important issues.
Vice-Mayor Castro referred to the monthly report received from the Human Resources
Department. She was frustrated to see that during the current union negotiations with both
representatives, we are having trouble setting dates for meetings. Vice-Mayor Castro remarked
that we need to get frequent meeting dates in order to move this matter forward.

CITY OF DANIA BEACH
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
DATE: July 27, 2010
TO: Robert Baldwin, City Manager
FROM: Robert Daniels, Director A-
Corinne Lajoie, AICP, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: Water Supply Report
Since the last City Commission meeting staff and consultants have continued negotiations
with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and Broward County on
potential solutions.
Broward County Raw Water Solution
As staff reported to the Commission via email last week, the Broward County Water
Management Division sponsored a meeting of its raw water customers who use the South
Regional Wellfield (SRW) on July 16, 2010. Large users from the SRW, which is located at
Brian Piccolo Park include Dania Beach, Hollywood, FPL and Hallandale Beach. A
discussion was held on the County's proposal to allocate water to benefit all the large users,
which would make the 1.83 mgd currently allocated to FPL available for purchase. The
County Administrator confirmed with City staff that she intends to forward a letter to FPL
providing for a 5-year transition period, after which the allocation would become available to
larger users for treatment and development of potable water. Reuse water will fill the future
need for cooling for FPL. The County Commission will consider this item on August 10,
2010. If approved, the County will notify the City of the availability of the water. The City
must provide a letter of commitment to purchase the water. The cost is unknown at this
time, but it is anticipated that this item will be scheduled for the City Commission meeting of
August 24, 2010.
The FPL solution will resolve the City's long term (2015 & beyond) needs. The City still has
a short term (2010 — 2014) demand issue as well, which will be exacerbated as we bring
new projects into the service area. City and County staffs are working with the City of
Hallandale, which has a short term surplus. The allocation for Hallandale Beach is currently
2.84 mgd, of which 600,000 gpd is not being used. Discussions on this solution are
ongoing, but to date no conclusion has been reached.
Water Supply— RAC Status
While the solutions that have been proposed are likely to resolve the City's water supply
problems, the issue is becoming increasingly urgent as the RAC adoption date approaches.
In their review of the proposed RAC amendment DCA, the SFWMD and South Florida
Regional Planning Council have raised objections based on the City's need to demonstrate
that is has adequate potable water to meet current and projected demands that include
those created by the amendment. City and County staff efforts with FPL and Hallandale
Beach are bearing fruit, but the City must be able to show by ". . . binding short- and long-
term commitments from Broward County Water and Wastewater Services or another water
provider that the City can obtain adequate water supplies to serve the development from this
amendment as well as all existing and projected demands in the City's service area." The
County's letter to FPL and a subsequent exchange of correspondence between the County
and City committing to provision of the water by the County and purchase by the City should
satisfy the SFWMD and SFRPC's objections. The DCA may accept those agencies'
recommendations, but may also chose to require that the 10-Year Water Supply Plan be
brought into compliance before approving any further amendments.
The short-term solution currently being coordinated with Broward County and Hallandale
Beach will require a similar exchange of correspondence that confirms that the City of
Hallandale Beach will not need the 600,000 gpd in the short term. The County may then
make that water available to Dania Beach.
The City of Dania Beach and Broward County will amend their "Large Raw Water User
Agreement" to reflect the change. This could occur as early as the August 24 City
Commission meeting or at the September 14 meeting.
The County Commission adoption hearing for the amendment is September 28, 2010. The
Broward County Planning Council's meeting to forward a recommendation to the County
Commission is on August 26.
Well G
A change order is being processed by the Public Services and Utilities Department to obtain
the necessary components to bring the new well into operation in the next 6 — 8 weeks.
This will provide the initial information necessary to determine whether the City can safely
pump more than its current allocation of 1.1 mgd. The Public Services and Utilities Director
has suggested that the City request that the current restriction to 1.1 mgd be relaxed to
provide additional permitted pumpage. The City's consultant believes that a request for a
temporary increase may be feasible, but only after Broward County submits its permit
application for the reallocations as discussed above.
10-Year Water Supply Plan
The solutions discussed above would provide the data and analysis necessary to bring the
10-Year Water Supply Plan into compliance.
Next Steps
Especially because of the uncertainty surrounding the short-term solution staff is beginning
to initiate discussions with other potential sources, including the Town of Davie, which is
developing a reverse osmosis plant. The City of Hollywood should also be contacted to
explore short-term supplies, albeit of finished water.
