thought banning electronic devices is not the answer. He said abiding to the Commission Policy
Manual or Roberts Rules of Order should control the decorum of the meetings. Commissioner
Duke noted that no one has been disruptive during the meetings. He remarked he is for
transparency in meetings. Commissioner Duke said this is a First Amendment issue that the
legislature should address. He noted that the City Attorney amended the resolution to include
emergencies for business and family, but a ban does not work. Commissioner Duke stated that
he does not support the resolution as presented because it is not right and relevant. He would
prefer to table it until the ethics issue is discussed. Commissioner Duke said the resolution
should say "to each other" or"amongst each other":

Vice-Mayor Grace concurred with Commissioner Duke. She noted we should not ban it because
someone is not technical. Vice-Mayor Grace thought it is a good tool for those who use it.
Commissioner Castro said she has been indifferent to the issue. She noted that she does not look
at her devices during the meetings. Commissioner Castro would like for the webstreaming to be
interactive considering these meetings are public. She indicated that the biggest concern is that
there are lobbyists contacting Commissioners or special interests urging them to vote in their
favor. Commissioner Castro stated that to her it is disrespectful to see someone texting during
meetings. Lastly, she noted that she will support this resolution because of all the investigations
and special interests currently going on in Broward County.

Commissioner Castro.
Mayor Flury noted that she considers herself an employee of the taxpayers because they pay her
salary. She stated that she should not be texting family or work during a meeting because she is
here to serve the public and provide her best judgment. Mayor Flury remarked that it is not
appropriate for her to do this while she is at the meeting. She added that she is concerned about

10. Discussion and Possible Action
10.1 Donation Policy
City Manager Baldwin noted there are two items presented for Commission consideration, the
donation policy and the requests for funding. He indicated that the Commission has not yet
appropriated the $28,000.00 funded in this year's budget, except for $5,000.00 for Relay for
Life. City Manager Baldwin recommended the same policy submitted to the Commission last
year with some modifications.
Commissioner Duke noted there is a donation policy in the Commission Policy Manual. He
suggested this program should be used.
Commissioner Castro noted the Commission shot down all the recommendations made by staff
under the donation policy and started making donations again; however, we need to stop doing
that. She explained that in the past, the Human Relations Board used to make the
recommendations; but there should be another layer other than staff. Commissioner Castro
would like the following conditions incorporated into the policy: that the Commission cannot
approve anything from the dais, without going through the application process and staff
approval. She would also like citizens to help evaluate the process. Commissioner Castro
suggested a 75/25 split for the groups that come up later in the year.
Commissioner Duke noted the taxpayers want us to help.
Mayor Flury is concerned that our money should go to organizations that provide assistance to
residents of Dania Beach. She noted she supports the policy prepared by staff. Mayor Flury
further indicated that she agrees on having citizen input. She suggested that the Chair of the
Parks and Recreation Board be added to the review committee.
Commissioner Duke questioned the selection process to create the review committee. He
suggested including the chairman of the Marine Advisory Board.
Commissioner Castro recommended the following two clauses be included in the policy: adding
two citizens (the Chair of the Parks and Recreation Board, and the Chair of the Marine Advisory
Board) and three staff members to be the review committee; and that the Commission is
prohibited from voting live from the dais.
The Commission directed City Manager Baldwin to bring back the amended policy at the next
Commission meeting for consideration.
