DANIA BEACH CITY COMMISSION
PRIORITIES WORKSHOP
THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 2015 — 3:00 P.M.
1. Call to Order/Roll Call
Mayor Salvino called the workshop to order at 3:04 p.m.
Present:
Mayor: Marco A. Salvino, Sr.
Vice-Mayor: Bobbie H. Grace
Commissioners: Chickie Brandimarte
Walter B. Duke, III
Albert C. Jones
City Manager: Robert Baldwin
City Attorney: Thomas J. Ansbro
City Clerk: Louise Stilson
Finance Director: Nicki Satterfield
2. Preliminary Budget Presentation
Nicki Satterfield, Finance Director, provided an overview of expenses and revenue, which is
attached to these minutes. She stressed that we have no preliminary numbers from the Property
Appraiser yet, so all projections are preliminary.
Commissioner Jones questioned the duration of the health insurance contract and said there may
be an opportunity in the latter part of the year to go with Memorial Hospital; he will speak to the
City Manager at that time.
City Manager Baldwin asked the Commission if they were willing to raise property taxes; Vice-
Mayor Grace, and Commissioners Jones and Brandimarte responded in the negative.
Commissioner Duke commented that with all the opportunities to make good financial decisions,
we could possibly bring taxes down because we have a lot of commercial resources for revenue.
Mayor Salvino agreed with everyone, and said with all the development going on, we may be
able to reduce rates in 3-4 years.
Director Satterfield noted other cities have commercial waste hauling included with residential
contract prices, which tends to lower the residential rate. Sole source is something the
Commission will need to take a look at as there are trade-offs to consider.
Commissioner Duke commented staff has done a good job collecting commercial franchise fees.
He felt that if we go sole source, or keep it the way it is, we need to go out to RFP to make the
companies compete for our business.
City Manager Baldwin said to go sole source and to get a good residential rate, you would need
to bid both services together. Another consideration of the sole source is the 3-year grandfather
period where a customer can continue using their existing service for 3 years before they have to
go to the one selected by the city. He noted that Waste Management will not let us out of our
disposal agreement until it ends in 2022.
Director Satterfield noted that revenue from the Quarterdeck Restaurant, parking fee collections,
and pier management has gone up. She reviewed the revenues earmarked for Beach
Redevelopment Phase II.
Director Satterfield suggested that we set up a capital reserve fund out of the parking fund for the
parking garage because it will begin to need capital maintenance in the near future.
Commissioner Jones suggested that with the success of the parking fund, we should perhaps take
some of those dollars and put them in three accounts: beach maintenance, reserve, and capital.
He added that nothing has been put into the actual maintenance of the parking garage. Rather
than locking up the beach parking dollars, we should put somewhere around 30% of them into
our own reserve to build it up; then put in for beach maintenance and capital improvements, in
addition to the improvements that will be made through the beach revitalization program.
Director Satterfield noted we are on target to meet revenue projections for the marina, and we
may also need to start a capital reserve fund for any future improvements to the marina. She
recommended not using excess revenues from the marina for any other project at the beach due
to debt restrictions.
Commissioner Duke noted we are below market on our rates at the marina, and other than setting
aside excess funds for maintenance and repair, we could possibly use it to pay the debt down.
City Manager Baldwin stated he is not making a recommendation at this time to extend
Westrec's contracts when they expire, but they have done an excellent job with the marina and
pier management.
3. General Discussion on Priorities
Commissioner Duke suggested the list be considered as a consent agenda, as opposed to
reviewing each item individually.
City Manager Baldwin noted the law enforcement and fire contracts have provisions to be
extended; the Sheriff has agreed to a 5% annual increase cap. He added we cannot move this
forward until we have a figure from the Sheriff.
City Manager Baldwin stated Waste Management will provide a contract extension proposal next
week.
Minutes of Workshop-Priorities 2
Dania Beach City Commission
Thursday,March 12,2015—3:00 p.m.
City Manager Baldwin addressed Parks special event waivers, which amount to about
$20,000.00 of fees per year. Commissioner Brandimarte said she is fine with waivers for Dania
Beach residents, but fees for non-residents should not be waived. Mayor Salvino agreed those
who do not give back to the City should at least pay the City costs, but noted that we would not
collect more than $500.00. Vice-Mayor Grace said we should be more open-minded and help
those who will eventually come back and help us. Commissioner Jones suggested Parks and
Recreation take a look at it and see if there is anything they can do.
City Manager Baldwin addressed City-wide appearance. The Commission concurred to keep up
the improvements and make the City look better. Commissioner Jones felt we can do a better job
by assigning crews to geographical areas, and giving the crew leaders more money. He said we
need to change the culture, and make sure the City is clean, regardless of an employee's specific
responsibilities. City Manager Baldwin noted recommendations regarding reorganization would
be brought to the Commission.
City Manager Baldwin reviewed the Oasis projects. He noted it is straining our resources by
having staff go out and do cleanup for the areas because of the increase of projects.
Commissioner Duke asked that the Commission be advised of the amount spent on all Oasis
projects. City Manager Baldwin added that per the County, CDBG 41 will be used for solar
lighting; CDBG 40 will be used to do additional Oasis projects and to complete previous projects.
Mayor Salvino noted the City of Hollywood is interested in partnering to do an Oasis project in
an area that abuts the City.
City Manager Baldwin noted the Waterfront Revitalization Program is on schedule.
City Manager Baldwin gave an update on Taylor Lane and the entry sign.
City Manager Baldwin addressed maintenance of residential swales, and noted it is uncommon
for cities to maintain them, but we do in Dania Beach. A policy for trees in swales and
maintenance will be brought forward.
City Manager Baldwin noted Union negotiations begin tomorrow.
City Manager Baldwin addressed City Hall improvements.
City Manager Baldwin noted Stormwater Phase I is complete and Phase II is being designed.
City Manager Baldwin turned the meeting over to the Commission for discussion.
Commissioner Jones referenced item #39 and said the Linear Park equipment has been installed;
the ribbon cutting will be May 15t'.
Commissioner Jones spoke of item #43, Employee/Performance/Culture, and noted there are
performance measures that need to be met. He felt we could bring in a consultant to make
recommendations on how the departments could improve. Customer service has gotten better,

but it has been a problem. City Manager Baldwin noted this is addressed in item #34, Public
Stuff and Benchmarking, and we are moving in the direction expressed by the Commission.
Commission Jones referenced item #44, West side Town Hall meeting, and said we need to do
this to make the west side feel they are part of the City.
Commissioner Jones addressed item#46, noting he has been working with a group for the past 6
months on Dania Beach University Leadership Academy. This program will train people who
live in Dania Beach to be future employees, and involves mentoring and shadowing. There will
be an item on the next Commission agenda for a mentoring program, which will provide kids a
look at the inner workings of the City, and will also bring a governance day to our City. He
noted this is for only the kids who live in Dania Beach, and when they have completed the
program,they will have an opportunity to have a job for the summer.
Commissioner Jones added he went to Washington a year and a half ago, which is where the
mentoring program came from. We are also looking into an incubator program for economic
development, as well as for the marine industry. He said he will be asking the Commission to let
him lobby again, and any dollars in the budget for this would be helpful.
Vice-Mayor Grace asked if a lease agreement has been worked out with Representative Geller.
City Manager Baldwin responded yes and they have moved in. Vice-Mayor Grace questioned if
we have worked with Collins Elementary for a year-round swim program. Mark Felicetty,
Director of Parks & Recreation responded they started the Swim Central program on Monday,
and will have 3 or 4 lifeguards. Vice-Mayor Grace addressed adding bathrooms at City Hall, and
requested we start with keeping them clean, every day.
Commissioner Brandimarte said she would like some background on the pension board as we
have a Commissioner on our board, yet other cities have a finance director on them. City
Manager Baldwin noted state statute does not require an elected official on the board, but we do
through City ordinance. City Attorney Ansbro said this can be changed if the Commission so
chooses.
Commissioner Brandimarte addressed the panhandling problem on Dania Beach Boulevard, and
said one woman who keeps getting arrested needs help. City Attorney Ansbro noted she has
been offered help, but does not want it.
Commissioner Duke requested the City Manager send a recap of today's discussion.
Mayor Salvino referenced items #40, Expanded recreation programming, and #41, Park
expansion, and said we need to get youth programs, besides the Dania Bears, back at Frost Park.
We have 3 parks that are just sitting there; and only one program going. Vice-Mayor Grace
noted we have basketball. Mayor Salvino asked if the baseball, softball and soccer could be
expanded to other parks, and whether we could have the park groomed to make it nice and
prepare it to look as good as the bigger cities, before we start the program up. He added we need
to be ready for future residential growth.
Minutes of Workshop-Priorities 4
Dania Beach City Commission
Thursday,March 12,2015—3:00 p.m.
Mayor Salvino spoke of the 110"' anniversary, and noted Mayor Ryan is all in and wants to make
it a priority. He is going to provide information and will help us get other cities involved.
Mayor Salvino addressed holiday street decorations, and noted his vision is to decorate the main
arteries with rented or purchased decorations. Coming up to the holiday season, we need to look
like we have some festivities going on. He added he would like a tree put up at Frost Park and
have events for Christmas, and asked the City Manager and Commission to try to put money in
the budget for these ideas.
City Attorney Ansbro distributed information on trying to circumvent the Sunshine Law by using
people to pass information between Commissioners (daisy-chaining). He noted it is a violation
of the Sunshine Law and people are noticing and commenting on it being done. He advised the
Commissioners that if they are doing this,they need to stop immediately.
City Manager Baldwin noted he has full faith in Marc LaFerrier, Director of Community
Development, for quality development in the City.
Commissioner Jones commented on how public meetings are conducted, in that we allow people
waving signs, cat calling, and people to talk and show disrespect. He said we need to do better
than this, and he would like us to become more civil; if not, then we enforce how things are done
at our meetings. He added if you let it get out of hand, it will continue to increase. He is tired of
the nastiness, and there should be some protocol.
Commissioner Brandimarte asked if the City Attorney could draft guidelines.
City Attorney Ansbro responded he could do that, and noted he reads all the newspapers in
Broward County. The City of Margate adopted a well-written policy, and one commissioner still
does not abide by it. He can provide guidelines, but civility comes from within; we have a
commitment here to work together. He added under current policy of the City Commission, the
Mayor has the ability to keep order.
Vice-Mayor Grace said she will only behave when she wants to. In addition, this is the USA and
people are taxpayers and residents of the City and they have the right to bring in signs and
protest.
Commissioner Jones commented people have a right to speak and say whatever they want to say,
so there is no need to bring a sign. He added perhaps we can have signage when you come into
the chamber that delineates the rules.
Commissioner Duke said things have been civil since Marco Salvino became the Mayor. This
Commission is much better behaved since then. He added you cannot take things personally.
Commissioner Jones commented he will not treat people disrespectfully while he is on the dais,
and he should get the same respect that he provides to others. There are protocols for conduct
and there should always be room for improvements.

Mayor Salvino felt if we do not have a verbal attack, we will not have a response to it. The
residents would like us to be respectful of our jobs, and we should work towards that goal.

not violate the Sunshine Law).
li Thus,the applicability of the Sunshine Law relates to the discussions of a single individual
jwho has been delegated decision-making authority on behalf of a board or commission. If the
individual, rather than the board, is vested by law, charter or ordinance with the authority to
take action, such discussions are not subject to s. 286.011, F.S. See City of Sunrise a News and
Sun-Sentinel Company, 542 So. 2d 1354 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989) (since the mayor was responsible
under the city charter for disciplining city employees and since the mayor was not a board or
commission and was not acting for a board, meetings between the mayor and a city employee
concerning the employee's duties were not subject to s. 286.011, ES.). Cf. AGO 13-14 (where
contract terms regarding the police chief's employment have been discussed and approved at a
j public city commission meeting, Sunshine Law does not require that the written employment
li contract drafted by the town attorney as directed by the commission be subsequently presented
j to and approved at another commission meeting).
2. Use of nonboard members or staff to act as liaisons or to conduct a de facto meeting
of the board
As a general rule, individual board members "may call upon staff members for factual
information and advice without being subject to the Sunshine Law's requirements." Sarasota
Citizens for Responsible Government a City of Sarasota, 48 So. 3d 755, 764 (Fla. 2010). And see
AGO 81-42 (the fact that a city council member has expressed his or her views or voting intent
on an upcoming matter to a news reporter prior to the scheduled public meeting does not violate
i!
the Sunshine Law so long as the reporter is not being used by the member as an intermediary in
o er to circumvent the requirements of s. 286.011, ES.).
However, the Sunshine Law is applicable to meetings between a board member and an
1 ividual who is not a board member when that individual is being used as a liaison between,
j! or to conduct a de facto meeting of, board members. See AGO 74-47 (city manager is not a
member of the city council and thus may meet with individual council members; however, the
manager may not act as a liaison for board members by circulating information and thoughts of
individual council members). See also In£Op.to Goren,October 28,2009(while individual city
commissioners may seek advice or information from staff,city should be cognizant of the potential
that commissioners seeking clarification by follow-up with staff with staff responses provided to
all commissioners could be considered to be a de facto meeting of the commissioners by using
staff as a conduit between commissioners). Compare Sarasota Citizens for Responsible Government
u City of Sarasota, supra at 765 (private staff meetings with individual county commissioners
in preparation for a public hearing on a proposed memorandum of understanding [MOU] did
not violate the Sunshine Law because the meetings were "informational briefings regarding the
contents of the MOU" and "[t]here is no evidence that [county] staff communicated what any
commissioner said to any other commissioner").
Therefore, a city manager should refrain from asking each commissioner to state his or
her position on a specific matter which will foreseeably be considered by the commission at a
`! public meeting in order to provide the information to the members of the commission. AGO
89-23. See also AGO 75-59 (director should refrain from calling each member of the board
separately and asking each member to state his or her position on a matter which will foreseeably
be presented for consideration to the entire board in open session).
Additionally, in Blackford v. School Board of Orange County, 375 So. 2d 578 (Fla. 5th
DCA 1979), the court held that a series of scheduled successive meetings between the school
superintendent and individual members of the school board were subject to the Sunshine
Law. While normally meetings between the school superintendent and an individual school
board member would not be subject to s. 286.011, F.S., these meetings were held in "rapid-,-
fire succession" in order to avoid a public airing of a controversial redistricting problem. Thus,
s even though the superintendent was "adamant that he did not act as a go-between during these
(, discussions and [denied] that he told any one board member the opinions of the others" the
one-to-one meetings amounted to a de facto meeting of the school board in violation of s.
