Commissioner Castro noted that the Pier restaurant shell and bait shop will be returned to the
City. She said we will keep the operation of the Pier and there will be an RFP for the restaurant.
Commissioner Castro remarked that the Pier is for tourists, but mainly for our residents to enjoy.
Commissioner Castro noted she met with the artist who has been talking to the economic
development people. She recommended creating an ad hoc cultural arts committee, not
appointed by the Commission, that would meet and discuss with staff how to bring culture to
Dania Beach. Commissioner Castro thought a small downtown theater would be a good idea.
11.2 Commissioner Duke
Commissioner Duke noted that Key West and Marco Island have a program that uses abandoned
septic tanks as a catch basin for rainwater to be used for irrigation. He requested feedback from
the Commission.
It was the consensus of the Commission to have staff look into this matter.
11.3 Commissioner McElyea
Commissioner McElyea noted he received complaints about poor maintenance at the cemetery.
11.4 Vice-Mayor Grace
Vice-Mayor Grace requested support for both organizations for the "Back to School" giveaways.
Vice-Mayor Grace disagreed with Chief Peterson and remarked there should be no drinking of
alcoholic beverages in the parks. She wants BSO to do their job to prohibit drugs and drinking
in all of our parks.
Vice-Mayor Grace noted she participated in the Neighborhood Conference held at the Hyatt
Hotel last week. She remarked it was very well attended and they had a great program.
Vice-Mayor Grace noted that the sign co-designating SW 23`d Terrace to Barker Lane is now
installed. She asked City Manager Baldwin to plan a ceremony for the co-designation and notify
the 18 property owners in that area of the arrangements.
11.5 Mayor Flury
Mayor Flury noted she does not want anyone to misunderstand Chief Peterson's comments
tonight with regards to the use of alcoholic beverages in the parks. She clarified that he was

13. Administrative Reports
13.1 City Manager
City Manager Baldwin noted that the Pier staffing is ready to go; we signed a contract with a
private agency to hire back the employees.
City Manager Baldwin requested two abatement requests be included on the next Commission
agenda.
It was the consensus of the Commission to add the abatement requests to the August 9 City
Commission meeting agenda.
13.2 City Attorney
City Attorney Ansbro reported there has been a significant interest in the Pier restaurant. He
noted that we may need a professional to help promote the facility.
Commissioner Duke said it would be prudent to find someone experienced in the restaurant
business to assist with the development of the RFP, and to be available to answer questions.
City Attorney Ansbro noted that a lot of billboard companies have shown interest in meeting
with the Commission to discuss the possible change from static signs to digital. He indicated
that he will set up individual meetings with the Commissioners regarding this matter.
Commissioner Castro questioned what the Commission was going to do with the Pier and the
restaurant. She remarked these are two separate issues. Commissioner Castro recommended
staff not develop an RFP at this time because we have not yet determined what direction this will
take.
Commissioner Duke thought we should keep the Pier operating temporarily as planned. Once
the restaurant situation has been resolved, we will decide what we want to do with the Pier.
Mayor Flury noted we should have a workshop after the summer recess and decide what to do,
with or without a consultant.
Commissioner Castro noted she will not be packaging the Pier and the restaurant again.
Commissioner McElyea noted that we should keep the Pier separate. He agreed to hold a
workshop with the Commission.
Vice-Mayor Grace noted she would like to have a workshop with the consultant and the
Commission.
