Minutes of Regular Meeting 5
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,June 25,2013—7:00 p.m.
Responding to Commissioner Grace, City Manager Baldwin said there are 20 active employees
remaining in the pension plan; seven are eligible today to enter DROP.
Jim Cherof, Labor Attorney representing the City, noted anyone eligible to enter may do so
before September 30''; after that date they cannot, pursuant to the Collective Bargaining
Agreement that was ratified by the Commission and the Union.
Vice-Mayor Jones asked what would happen if the Commission does not adopt this Ordinance.
Attorney Cherof responded this would be inconsistent with the action of the Commission to
ratify the Collective Bargaining Agreement and would send a bad message regarding the
bargaining process. There was an agreement reached with the Union and it is important that the
ordinance be adopted; the Commission is obligated to honor the terms of the Collective
Bargaining Agreement. He noted that if there was a violation by either the Commission or the
Union in retreating from the terms that were agreed to, an unfair labor practice charge could be
brought.
Commissioner Brandimarte questioned the effect of not adopting this ordinance on other
contractors who do business with the City.
Attorney Cherof responded it would send the wrong message that any agreement reached and
ratified could be turned away from.
Commissioner Brandimarte felt backsliding is never the way to go because the bargaining table
was the place to negotiate.
Vice-Mayor Jones asked about the cost if this were to go to litigation.
Attorney Cherof noted a traditional unfair labor practice charge could involve legal fees alone in
the $10-15,000.00 range.
Vice-Mayor Jones commented about the consequences of not phasing out the DROP, noting it is
a great program,but not at the expense of the taxpayers.
Vice-Mayor Jones motioned to adopt Ordinance #2013-002, on second reading. Motion died for
lack of a second.
Mayor Duke reiterated this matter was previously ratified by the Union and the City; we have to
balance fairness to the long-term employees with the long-term financial sustainability of the
City. He explained why he voted no on first reading and recommended adoption of the
ordinance with the DROP elimination effective date extended by six months, which would allow
those few long-term employees to take advantage of this benefit.
Vice-Mayor Jones asked about the impact of a 6-month extension.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 6
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,June 25,2013—7:00 p.m.
Attorney Cherof responded that there would be an inconsistency between the ordinance and the
Collective Bargaining Agreement; a Memorandum of Understanding could be done to modify
the term of the agreement, which the Union would likely agree to, in order to have consistency.
City Manager Baldwin noted the alternative would be for staff to bring this ordinance back when
there are five Commissioners seated.
Commissioner Grace motioned to defer Ordinance #2013-002, on second reading. Motion died
for lack of a second.
Mayor Duke confirmed the ordinance would be brought back to the Commission when there are
five members.
10. Discussion and Possible Action
There were no discussion items on this agenda.
11. Commission Comments
11.1 Commissioner Brandimarte
Commissioner Brandimarte commented that with Pat Flury's resignation, the Commission
representative on the Police & Fire Pension Board is vacant and she would like to volunteer to
serve.
Vice-Mayor Jones motioned to approve the appointment of Commissioner Brandimarte as
Commission representative on the Police& Fire Pension Board. Motion died for lack of second.
Commissioner Brandimarte said at the last meeting there was verbal agreement that all four
Commissioners must be present in order to make an appointment to the vacant Commission seat.
She would now like this to be approved by a vote of the Commission. The Commission
unanimously agreed by voice vote.
Commissioner Brandimarte commented that she also would like a vote on Vice-Mayor Jones'
suggestion that the person appointed to fill the Commission vacancy be required to agree to not
run in the next election.
City Attorney Ansbro noted this is permissible, but it will not preclude the person appointed
from changing their mind and campaigning for the seat.
The Commission unanimously agreed to this requirement by voice vote and on the following 4-0
Roll Call vote:
Commissioner Brandimarte Yes Vice-Mayor Jones Yes
Minutes of Regular Meeting 7
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,June 25,2013—7:00 p.m.
Commissioner Grace Yes Mayor Duke Yes
Commissioner Brandimarte spoke of a recent seminar she and Vice-Mayor Jones attended where
she learned that if requested, police agencies must disclose on-duty officers' names and locations
or else be subject to a lawsuit. She noted she disagrees with this law.
11.2 Commissioner Grace
Commissioner Grace commented on her attendance at ethics classes recently held here and in
Coconut Creek.
Commissioner Grace spoke of the Backyard Bible Club being held at CW Thomas Park.
Commissioner Grace commented on numerous social and community happenings.
11.3 Vice-Mayor Jones
Vice-Mayor Jones spoke about a recent Institute of Elected Municipal Officials he attended and
the County ethics ordinance. He noted there are new ethic laws on the books that we need to be
aware of.
Vice-Mayor Jones noted the Commission had, in the past, required a replacement commissioner
to agree to not run for the seat. He hopes voters will be looking and listening if the candidate
chosen to fill the current vacancy agrees to this requirement and then changes his or her mind.
Vice-Mayor Jones commented about leaving the dais when Pat Flury stepped down and noted he
did not like doing it, as we need to put our best foot forward no matter what. He added Dania
Beach is going to move forward and City business will be done, as this is what the Commission
was elected to do. If the business is not done, we are impeding progress.
11.4 Mayor Duke
Mayor Duke commented the people voted for the Commission to sit and finish out the meetings,
even if it is uncomfortable to do so.
Mayor Duke thanked Pastor Williams and her congregation for their good work in the
community and for staying for the entire meeting.

CITIZENS COMMENT from George Jason
For Commission Meeting 6/25th/2013
Mayor, Vice Mayor, Commissioners and members of the Dania Beach Staff
I am one of a few World War 2 veterans still alive and I might add kicking.
I have never been arrested except for some over-due parking tickets and 2 speeding
tickets in my 85 years... 68 or 699 years of that driving.
I have never been in jail or even inside a police station.
I've never stalked nor been stalked by anyone in my life.
I chose to become part of Dania Beach in 2001 because I loved this town and liked
the people I met that lived here.
I've never lied about my history, education or volunteer service to my community.
Why am I telling you all this?
I am not interested in the open seat on our commission, but I am interested in who will
be seated.
My only concern is for this city I love... Dania Beach.
I must speak, because of this festering corruption we have in our city that has
developed over the last few years. We have a stalker... predator... slime that is out to
destroy good people including a commissioner that has served our city with much
concern and during our country's economic breakdown, Pat Flury has worked to
give us a sound budget and financial stability that many similar size towns have
envied.
I'm sorry to see our Mayor and a commissioner that I had great respect for, support
this corrupt sore in our Dania Beach.
I will not give the respect of naming this cancer in our community. We all know who
he is! I fear he considers himself a vigilante, when his own life and history has been
far less than honorable.... Who will be next?
I have spent my life serving my country, community and my friends and neighbors.
It hurts me when scum like we are witnessing can ruin our city.
