Discussion and Possible Action There were no discussion items on this agenda. 11. Commission Comments 11.1 Commissioner Castro Minutes of Regular Meeting 6 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,August 28,2012—7:00 p.m. Commissioner Castro requested speed traps along Griffin Road in regard to the safety of school children walking to and waiting at the bus stops. Commissioner Castro spoke about the Trash to Art exhibit in Ft. Lauderdale and felt this might be good for the children from Collins School. Commissioner Castro gave an update from the League of Cities conference held this past weekend. Commissioner Castro commended staff for attending the County Commission meeting relative to the SE 5th Avenue stop signs issue. Commissioner Castro spoke about the Fire contract with BSO and commended City Manager Baldwin and Assistant City Manager Donnelly for their work. The issues have been resolved, but have not yet been reduced to writing. Commissioner Castro felt a point needed to be made about the CRA budget and monies insofar as the Commission voted to take $250,000.00 out of the CRA reserve for the US-1 project; however, the CRA Board never voted on it. She felt the money needs to be put back so that we are in compliance with the law and directed the City Manager to move the $250,000.00 back to the CRA. There were no objections from the Commission to this directive. Mayor Flury commented it is unfortunate something like this needs to be brought forward in that if moving the money was illegal, the CRA Director should have brought it forward at the next CRA meeting for approval or disapproval. Responding to Mayor Flury, the Commission voted unanimously to transfer the money back to the CRA. Mayor Flury hoped these issues would be resolved by the next CRA Board meeting as the Commission needs to know how much money is in the CRA budget. Commissioner Castro commented that the Finance Director decided the process had to be two steps, which she objected to at the time, and now it is a four-step process. She urged the City Manager to be present at the meeting with the Finance Director and CRA Director, and wants this taken care of before the budget public hearings so the Commission knows where the money is within the budget. Commissioner Castro spoke about certification of election results and the fact that it will not be available until 10 days after the November 6th election, which is after the Commission's November 13th organizational meeting. She urged the City Attorney to leave the agenda for the November 13th regular meeting vacant so there is no official action taken. City Attorney Ansbro agreed with Commissioner Castro. 11.2 Commissioner Duke Commissioner Duke commended Public Services for their response to the storm. Minutes of Regular Meeting 7 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,August 28,2012—7:00 p.m. Commissioner Duke noted he is pleased with the new landscape contractor. 11.3 Commissioner Grace Commissioner Grace commented about her attendance at the Florida League of Cities conference, noting there was a great turnout and she was proud to represent Dania Beach. She will share information discussed at the conference with the City Manager. Commissioner Grace spoke about efforts underway to organize an event on September 19Ih called "An Evening on Your Front Porch", to promote neighbors getting to know one another and talking about issues of concern. 11.4 Vice-Mayor McElyea Vice-Mayor McElyea said he did not receive any complaints about flooding during the storm. 11.5 Mayor Flury Mayor Flury thanked staff for their work during the storm. Mayor Flury wanted to clarify her position on the BSO Fire agreement, noting it should be clearly delineated in writing and should be for at least two years in length; hopefully it will include the approximate $40,000.00 in interest for the late payment to the pension. City Manager Baldwin responded the agreement will be in writing and will be amended at the next meeting to run for the balance of the contract, which extends beyond two years. The issue of interest relating to the pension was not discussed, but will be addressed. 12. Appointments There were no appointments at this meeting. 13. Administrative Reports 13.1 City Manager City Manager Baldwin commended BSO Fire and Police, and City staff for doing a great job during the storm. 13.2 City Attorney City Attorney Ansbro had no comments.
