Invocation and Pledge of Allegiance Commissioner Anne Castro gave the invocation followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States Flag. 3. Presentations and Special Event Approvals Neal McAliley, Special Counsel for Airport Matters, provided an overview of the meeting held with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on May 3. He advised that we have now received a written response from the FAA stating they do not currently see the Early Benefit Program as being eligible for Federal Aviation grant funding. It seems that they are not willing to approve the transfer of plats 7 and 8. They also addressed the Voluntary Night Closure issue. Attorney McAliley indicated that the Commission has 60 days to vote on voiding the Settlement Agreement, beginning May 7. He recommended giving ourselves a short period of time to work with Broward County and the FAA, to see if we can turn this around, or if the County wants to put something else on the table. Attorney McAliley further suggested deferring this item for two weeks until the next Commission meeting; if we are unable to come to a resolution, he will recommend to void the Agreement. He added that the goal of the City and the Commission is to protect the residents and two more weeks will not make a big difference. 3.4 Presentation by Chair and members of Airport Advisory Board regarding Settlement Agreement Linda Sacco, 4496 SW 34th Terrace, Chairman of the Dania Beach Airport Advisory Board, advised that the Airport Advisory Board recommended that the Settlement Agreement be rejected and the 1995 Interlocal Agreement should be returned. She noted the Board's recommendations are: 1) Give FAA and Broward County no more than two weeks to work out the differences; the City should then void the Settlement Agreement and revert to the 1995 Interlocal Agreement. The Board further urges the Commission to go forward with legal procedures to ensure its ability to challenge permitting actions regarding the expansion of the south runway. 2) Request a list of condemnation lawyers to be created by the Board and posted on the City website. Commissioner Castro commended the Airport Advisory Board for their work on this matter. Addendum 10.3 Consideration of Voidability Option Pursuant to Paragraph 6 of City-County Airport Settlement Agreement City Attorney requested a motion to continue this item until the May 22, 2012 City Commission meeting,preceded by an Attorney/Client Session on the same matter at 6:00 p.m. Commissioner Castro motioned to continue Item #10.3 until the May 22, 2012 City Commission meeting at 7:00 p.m., with an Attorney/Client Session at 6:00 p.m.; seconded by Commissioner Grace.

Broward Boulevard ��\n Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312 (� Re: Commander Michael Grimm, Broward Sheriffs Office Dania Beach District Dear Sheriff Lamberti: I am writing you to commend Commander Michael Grimm. As you may be aware, the Dania Beach community recently lost one of our finest residents and friends, Richard "Dick" Sokol. Dick and his lovely wife, Betty, have volunteered countless hours in our community and unconditionally helped others. This service included hundreds of hours in the COP program, maintaining and driving a patrol vehicle, training others, and serving as the eyes and ears for BSO's patrol deputies. In addition, they cared for their neighbors and volunteered countless hours for their homeowners association. They were members of the CERT program and were active in their church. Betty and Dick always served with a smile, wink and in such a positive manner, they had a positive effect on everyone with whom they came into contact. When Dick passed, you can only imagine the devastating impact on his wife Betty, their family, friends and community. While we were all struggling with our grief, we searched for some meaning and strength in Dick's death. Well, during Dick's memorial service, we found it. It came in the humanity of Commander Grimm. Since Mike lives in Dania Beach and was even a neighbor of Dick and Betty's, he not only was able to convey the feelings of the agency, but also personal feelings about Dick (and Betty), that moved and touched us all. It helped the entire community cope with this loss of a dear friend and asset to our city. Commander Grimm represented BSO in the most brilliant manner with integrity, honesty and humanity. It was absolutely incredible. He is a huge asset to your organization and the city of Dania Beach and he really made us all proud. We wanted you to know that. I would also respectfully request this letter be added to Commander Grimm's personnel file as this type of leadership under duress should be noted! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
