DANIA BEACH CITY COMMISSION
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2013 — 5:01 P.M.
1. Call to Order/Roll Call
Mayor Duke called the meeting to order at 5:01 p.m.
Present:
Mayor: Walter B. Duke, III
Vice-Mayor: Albert C. Jones
Commissioners: Chickie Brandimarte
Bobbie H. Grace
City Manager: Robert Baldwin
City Attorney: Thomas J. Ansbro
City Clerk: Louise Stilson
2. Presentation
City Manager Baldwin noted that since the last public hearing, the Sheriff notified him of
additional savings on the BSO contracts of$208,112.00 for Police and $131,306.00 for Fire. He
explained that with the savings of nearly $340,000.00, he proposes keeping the Fire Inspector
position, which was originally intended to be cut, and a Community Service Aide. This would
have to be done through a contract amendment with the Sheriff.
Mark Bates, Director of Finance, presented an overview of the recommended budget, which is
attached to these minutes. He noted administration is working out where the additional cost
savings from the Sheriff can be used, but is not recommending making a change to the budget
itself. The savings would be used to negotiate with the Sheriff for the reestablishment of the
positions mentioned by the City Manager.
3. Public Hearines
City Attorney Ansbro announced that the rolled back rate is 5.7295 mills and the adopted 5.9998
operating millage rate reflects a 4.72% increase from the rolled back rate.

REQUIRED BY THE CITY CHARTER AND SECTION 200.065, FLORIDA STATUTES, APPROVING A

budget for FY 2013-2014; seconded by Commissioner Brandimarte.
Commissioner Grace said we need to hold the line at where we are for this budget year
regardless of various organizations' requests for additional funding. She also said the Sheriff did
not do us any favor in the budget cuts he made and she does not support bringing the 2-3 people
back on board even with the additional savings from the Sheriff. She felt the City's police and

fire services are excellent; if 2014 is a flourishing year for the City, she would first support
bringing back the nine fire positions.
Commissioner Brandimarte felt we should keep the Fire Inspector.
Vice-Mayor Jones asked for data to consider for another date in order to determine if the Fire
and Community Service Aide positions are needed in light of the fact that the funds coming back
from the Sheriff are not recurring funds. He commented it is a tough situation regarding the
charitable gift donations; the proposed budget keeps the City afloat and we have to do what is
right.
Mayor Duke noted he has three issues: the fire rescue budget; our liability at the beach; and
charitable donations. Regarding the BSO contract, he questioned the parameters of the
notification dates on the SAFER Grant.
City Manager Baldwin responded the soonest date would be November/December and the latest
is September 2014.
Union President Dix said the process is proceeding and we should hear in November. He noted
firefighters review the applications and it is a quick review process; the money is usually a quick
turnaround.
Mayor Duke confirmed the cost for additional firefighters is $100-125,000.00 per month, and
noted staff did a good job with the negotiated agreement with the Sheriff. He questioned
applying the $340,000.00 savings to buy four months of time until the SAFER Grant is
approved; if it is not approved,then the Commission can readdress the issue at a later date.
Mayor Duke commented that in re-reading the budget, the Parks and Recreation report says there
is no lifeguard provided on the north side of pier. He said he is concerned, and the lifeguards
recommended adding a lifeguard and station on the north side. He noted the City Manager said
it would cost over$200,000.00; however, this is what he wants the Commission to consider. At
a minimum, the Commission could possibly fund extra hours or a part-time person. He added
that funding could conceivably come from contingency as he wants to avoid deaths and other
bad situations. Additionally, the marina is coming online and will produce revenue; funds could
come from enterprise funds. He asked that the Commission amend the budget to fund the
lifeguard.
Mayor Duke noted there is a charitable donations committee and process, which in the long-term
is the fairest. However, as part of that process, he would ask that whoever the Commission gives
money to should provide a budget showing how the money was spent.
Commissioner Brandimarte questioned why we need to invest in lifeguards north of the pier
when Hollywood does not provide one and it is their responsibility beyond Dania Beach. She
noted she does not favor installing a lifeguard stand, and needs answers regarding liability before
making a decision. Additionally, she felt Hollywood should be brought into the discussion.
Minutes of Second Budget Public Hearing 3
Dania Beach City Commission
Wednesday,September 25,2013—5:01 p.m.
City Attorney Ansbro noted it is posted that it is an unprotected beach and therefore, our liability
is remote because of sovereign immunity. If we add a lifeguard, then we assume responsibility
and are liable.
Vice-Mayor Jones commented the Mayor's issues are either or, because we have limited funds.
A decision cannot be made tonight with all of the unknowns; information is needed and he would
like to discuss this at another meeting. He confirmed the charitable donation to the Area on
Aging is $10,000.00 and they are asking for $18,000.00. He felt the City is doing a great job in
giving to charitable organizations and this will continue. He reiterated that information from
staff is needed regarding a possible joint venture with Hollywood on the north side of the pier,
and whether or not there is need for the Fire Inspector or the CSA. He will not consider these
items tonight without this information.
Mayor Duke noted there is a lot of backup information for the lifeguards. He said he has been
talking to Hollywood about mutually beneficial interests north of the pier; for now, he would
recommend the Commission fund the lifeguards next year. He reiterated there will be more
revenue from the beach and marina coming online. He supports allocating $50,000.00 to the
lifeguards and applying the savings from the BSO contract to the monthly cost of the nine
firefighters pending the outcome of the SAFER Grant; the Fire Inspector and CSA positions
would not be funded.
Commissioner Grace commented she understands the plea for lifeguards, but some things they
are asking for are not feasible in this budget. She felt the Commission could give them extra
hours and it is a good idea to fund the firefighters for three months pending the SAFER Grant.
Vice-Mayor Jones agreed we do not want to see any deaths, and he hopes the lifeguards can step
up just as we have asked BSO to do. Although he supports giving the lifeguards more dollars, he
is not willing to amend the budget at this time. He stressed the need for more information and
data in order to make an informed decision at a later date.
City Manager Baldwin clarified the $340,000.00 will not be allocated; it is a reduction in the
BSO increase.
Commissioner Brandimarte asked if the SAFER Grant was guaranteed, noting that if we bridge
the gap and then do not get the grant,we will be right back where we are tonight.
City Manager Baldwin responded the grant is not guaranteed.
Union President Dix clarified that no one is losing their job, but the City is losing staffing that
will affect response time to multiple calls. There is no guarantee for the SAFER Grant;
firefighters review the applications and determine if the grant is needed.
Mayor Duke clarified that non-profits will provide an accounting of their budgets.
Mayor Duke repeated his desire to fund $50,000.00 for lifeguards, and asked Vice-Mayor Jones
to amend his motion. Additionally, he said he wants to bridge the gap for three months with

BSO to fund the firefighters, and asked Vice-Mayor Jones to amend his motion to take the funds
from contingency.
Mayor Duke asked Union President Dix if the City's good credit would be held against us.
Union President Dix responded the application is rated by three individuals and the financial
condition of the city is taken into consideration. He said they also look at the high call volume
and noted Dania Beach has unique high service calls.
The motion failed on the following 2-2 Roll Call vote:
Commissioner Brandimarte Yes Vice-Mayor Jones Yes
Commissioner Grace No Mayor Duke No
Commissioner Grace motioned to adopt Resolution #2013-118, adopting the final annual
budget for FY 2013-2014 and to include $50,000.00 for lifeguards from contingency;
seconded by Vice-Mayor Jones. The motion carried on the following 4-0 Roll Call vote:
