CITY OF DANIA BEACH
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2992015 - 5:00 P.M.
1. Call to Order/Roll Call
Chairman Salvino called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m.
Present:
Chairman: Marco A. Salvino, Sr.
Vice-Chairman: Bobbie H. Grace
Board Members: Chickie Brandimarte
Walter B. Duke, III
Albert C. Jones
CRA Executive Director: Jeremy Earle
City Attorney: Thomas Ansbro
CRA Secretary: Louise Stilson
2. Citizen Comments
There were no comments at this meeting.
3. Administrative Reports
3.3 Presentation to Richard Rodriguez
Director Earle presented a plaque to Richard Rodriguez, who works in Public Services, for all of
his assistance and work with the CRA.
3.1 Dania Pointe Brochure
Director Earle noted he spoke with Broward County Administrator Bertha Henry and asked if
this project could be added to our CRA loans, which would effectively wipe out our loan
obligations to the County.
Mike Moskowitz, Special Counsel to the CRA, said he will work with the Board to try to
accomplish this before the County Commission summer recess.
3.2 2015 Dania Beach Arts and Seafood Celebration Report
Director Earle advised we are currently working on the RFQ, and hopefully the document will
get out in the next two weeks.
3.4 Adaptive Planning for Rising Sea Levels
Director Earle explained the coastal cities are looking at climate change, and are making plans to
address the issue. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment, which allows for the creation of an
Adaptive Action area, would enable the CRA to potentially get federal and state dollars over the
next few years, if the plan is adopted. He recommended that staff bring an informal plan to the
Board in June of this year.
Board Member Jones questioned if there would be funding and planning opportunities within the
communities, and if the communities could provide input.
Director Earle responded affirmatively, and further described the benefits of having a plan in
place.
4. Presentations
4.3 Partnering for Healthy Zones—Broward Regional Health Planning Council
Teina Phillips, Program Director, TOUCH: Partnerships Transforming Our Community's
Health, reviewed the presentation that was included in the agenda packet. She noted the City has
a couple of options for Healthy Community Zones (HCZ).
Board Member Jones motioned to move forward with applying for the HCZ; seconded by
Board Member Brandimarte. The motion carried unanimously.
4.4 CRA Redevelopment Plan Modification Draft
Rachel Bach, RMA Representative, gave a Powerpoint presentation, a copy of which is attached
to and incorporated in these minutes.
4.2 Economic Development Update
Kevin Crowder, RMA, continued the Powerpoint presentation begun by Rachel Bach, with the
economic impact and return on investment update.
Director Earle noted the investment from the CRA Board over the past 7 years is the reason for
the type of development we are now seeing. He implored the Board to continue with this
success.
4.1 RMA Company Presentations
Director Earle recommended the Board maintain the services of RMA during the transition
period while they look for his replacement.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 2

Wednesday,April 29,2015—5:00 p.m.
Chris Brown, Principal of RMA, provided an overview of the presentation that was included in
the agenda packet. He noted that Rachel Bach will be the primary person who will be here every
day.
5. Consent Agenda
Items Removed from Consent Agenda: #5.5
5.1 Minutes:
Approve Minutes of March 4, 2015 CRA Board Meeting
5.2 Travel Requests: None
5.3 Approve transfer of$20,000.00 from DBCRA Reserves Line Item 106-5201-552-99-
80,to Art and Seafood Festival Line Item 106-5201-552-48-14
5.4 Approve CRA Job Reclassifications: Kathleen Weekes from CRA Coordinator to
CRA Manager, and Kisha Payen from Administrative Assistant to CRA
Administrative Coordinator
Vice-Chairman Grace motioned to approve the Consent Agenda, with the exception of
Item #5.5; seconded by Board Member Jones. The motion carried unanimously.
5.5 Approve agreement with RMA in an amount not to exceed $80,000.00 to oversee the
CRA transition period and other related activities through the end of FY 2015; and
transfer $60,000.00 from DBCRA Reserves Line Item 106-5201-552-99-80, to CRA
Professional Services Line Item 106-5201-552-31-10
Board Member Duke commented that RMA is qualified; however, he wondered if there were
any other options, such as doing an RFP for this or appointing Economic Development Manager
Dan Murphy as the interim director. He felt this is not the only option for $80,000.00, and it is
not his first choice.
Board Member Jones felt that at this point in time with Director Earle leaving, we want to
continue doing well. RMA is the foundation from where we came and where we are going; they
are a known quantity. He added there is a part of this contract that would allow us to cut ties if
RMA seems to not be producing. Although Economic Development Manager Murphy is
qualified, he is relatively new to the City, and this job might be heavy.
Board Member Brandimarte noted RMA already works for us for a contracted amount of
$70,000.00. She does not see the urgency that this has to be done now because Economic
Development Manager Murphy was hired to work for Director Earle. The proposed contract
also includes an additional $17,500.00 for additional work in addition to the $12,500.00 monthly

rate. She questioned why this could not be worked a different way for six months, and felt that
Economic Development Manager Murphy could step up to this position.
Mayor Salvino commented he listened to both sides on the dais, but thinks that we would be
getting more people by contracting with RMA, and not be putting as much pressure on our
employees by having them assume Director Earle's responsibilities. RMA already knows our
business and the City is growing quickly with new development; at this particular time, placing
and orienting a new Executive Director or overworking staff could be a disaster.
Vice-Chairman Grace motioned to approve the agreement with RMA; seconded by Board
Member Jones.
Board Member Duke noted RMA will still be here as we are not cutting the cord. Not
contracting with them will also put the impetus on us to look for a new director. He also noted
his concern with people's perception of having a company that we contract services with also
running our agency.
Director Earle clarified that funds are available to cover the contract cost; staff is not asking for
any additional funds. He also provided a detailed explanation as to why we should contract with
RMA during this transition.
Board Member Duke suggested outsourcing our CRA to RMA, and we would not need to hire
another Executive Director.
Vice-Chairman Grace noted she supports this contract because people are taking notice that
Dania Beach is doing unique things because of the CRA. She added that she does not want to
see the CRA go away.
Board Member Brandimarte said she does not want to see the CRA go away; however, she feels
that we are rushing into this and we still have time by utilizing Economic Development Manager
Murphy.
The motion carried on the following 3-2 Roll Call vote:
Board Member Brandimarte No Vice-Chairman Grace Yes
Board Member Duke No Chairman Salvino Yes
Board Member Jones Yes
6. Proposals and Bids

Minutes of Regular Meeting 4

Wednesday,April 29,2015—5:00 p.m.
7.1 New CRA PATCH Business Entity
Director Earle recommended that the CRA Board allow for staff to work with Weiss Serota and
the Broward Regional Health Planning Council to file the paperwork necessary to create a
business entity to help all of the cities that are now working with Dania Beach to grow the
Community Garden.
Board Member Brandimarte motioned to move forward with the CRA PATCH business
entity; seconded by Vice-Chairman Grace. The motion carried unanimously.
8. Board Member Comments
Director Earle commented this is his last CRA meeting. He thanked the residents, City staff, and
the Board for their support during the past seven years. He noted the City is on sure footing for
the future, and he has instructed staff to keep the Board apprised of happenings during the
transition.
Vice-Chairman Grace expressed her gratitude to Director Earle for what he has accomplished in
Dania Beach.
Board Member Jones wished Director Earle the best in his new position.
Board Member Brandimarte noted that Director Earle receiving the award for the PATCH
brought the most pride to her.
Board Member Duke wished Director Earle luck on his new endeavor.
Chairman Salvino wished Director Earle good luck.

and wished him well.
