issues regarding his contract and County traffic signalization costs in order to codify that the

holiday.

4.1 CRA Basics and Florida Statute 163 Part III — Kim Briesemeister, MetroStrategies,
Inc.
Kim Briesemeister, MetroStrategies, Inc., presented an overview of Florida Statute 163, Part III,
which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes.
Vice-Chairman Jones arrived at 6:18 p.m.
Vice-Chairman Jones questioned whether a CRA is allowed to look into foreclosed properties
and do something with them.
Ms. Briesemeister responded that according to statute, a CRA can engage in any type of
redevelopment of affordable housing, provided it is in the plan; availability of staffing and
financing resources must also be considered.
Board Member Flury asked if money allocated to the CRA over the last several years could be
termed as loans that have to be repaid if the CRA starts to generate revenue.
Ms. Briesemeister responded yes, if allocations were structured that way, and spoke about the
statutory increment requirement, revenue generated from the payment-in-lieu of taxes formula,
consequences of structuring a loan situation between the City and CRA, and debt issuance.

Dania LLC, owner of the CitiBank/Cruise.com building on Dania Beach Boulevard.
Vice-Chairman Jones questioned if lighting would be upgraded.
Tommy Kertesz, General Manager of Braha Industries, responded that the Cruise.com sign
provides lighting at night and CitiBank does not want lighting. He noted there is lighting in the
P � g � � g
parking lot as required for the college tenant and he is willing to install lights in the drive-
through area.
Chairman Duke commented that out of the nine bidders on the project, only one is from Dania
Beach. He felt there is a need for more local businesses to get involved in these projects and
some type of preference should be given to them. Chairman Duke asked if the applicant's
private investment in the project and the bids can be verified.
Economic Development Manager Zenieh explained the owner has to put in the 20% prior to the
CRA funding any portion of a project and confirmed that bids, and actual costs and payments,
can be verified.
Vice-Chairman Jones felt there should be lighting added for the area being proposed to get a
facelift and as such, he would like to know what type of lighting would be installed.
Board Member Flury motioned to approve the $20,000.00 Fagade and Exterior Grant for
Braha Dania LLC, subject to lighting review; seconded by Vice-Chairman Jones. The
