Jones—arrived at 5:05 p.m. Board Members: Chickie Brandimarte Paul Fetscher Bobbie H. Grace—arrived at 5:1Op.m. Executive Director: Rachel Bach City Attorney: Thomas Ansbro CRA Secretary: Louise Stilson 2. Presentation by the Interim CRA Executive Director Director Bach presented a PowerPoint, which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. Board Member Grace arrived at 5:10 p.m. Director Bach explained in detail how the loan to grant program with Broward County works. Vice-Chairman Jones wants the CRA to be self-sustaining so that the taxpayers do not have to fund it. Chairman Salvino contended that the CRA is the agency that markets the City; if we do away with them, it will fall upon City staff to do their work. Also, the money still comes from the City and the taxpayers. Director Bach revisited the purpose of a CRA and.its funding, and noted the Redevelopment Plan needs to be reviewed and updated. The downtown RFQ is currently being written and will be brought to the Board for review in July; it may be issued in the fall. City Attorney Ansbro wants to review the RFQ before it is released. Director Bach spoke of the Downtown Master Plan, which staff is starting to work on. Board Member Grace wants downtown to be cleaned up, with the businesses contributing to the cost. Board Member Brandimarte wants a roundtable discussion with the downtown property owners, not the business owners. Board Member Fetscher said working with code and enforcing the special magistrate fines will get the attention of the property owners. Director Bach noted NW 1"Avenue is also a priority for the redevelopment of downtown. Vice-Chairman Jones wants money for signs coming into the Byrd Point neighborhoods. Director Bach said we want to wait in order to be consistent with the signs that are to be placed throughout the city. Director Bach noted the West Dania Beach Boulevard extension and bridge to Bryan Road are imperative and the Board needs to have a discussion on whether or not we should move forward on this project. Chairman Salvino said we have already begun the discussion with the developer of Dania Pointe, and it has also been discussed with the County. Vice-Chairman Jones suggested we need to get everyone who will benefit to roundtable and talk about who will pay. Marc LaFerrier, Director of Community Development, noted the time to do the plan for the bridge would be when Dania Pointe comes forward with the Phase 2 site plan in August or September and with the off-site development agreement with the City. Board Member Fetscher asked if anyone checked with the community to see what they want as they may not want the additional traffic and noise. Board Member Grace said 4-7 homes in NW Byrd Pointe will be displaced. Some people do not want to be uprooted, but if they get enough money they will favor relocating. Director Bach added staffs proposal is to start including funds in the budget for property acquisition before getting to the point of eminent domain. Director Bach asked what the priorities are for the PATCH. Chairman Salvino said he does not understand what we are doing; he thought it was for the residents. He suggested we get rid of the PATCH concept right now, give it back to the residents to take care of, and not pay people to work there. He felt the program has turned commercial. Board Member Grace noted it was for growing healthy, organic food for everyone in the City to use and for extending to other cities in partnership. Director Bach addressed the concept of the PATCH. Vice-Chairman Jones felt we should start putting focus within the community as they are not involved enough nor do they understand the PATCH. Board Member Fetscher commented that we need more EMTs in the budget, not $150,000.00 for growing lettuce. Minutes of Workshop Meeting 2 Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Tuesday,June 28,2016—5:00 p.m. Director Bach clarified that we also need an office at the PATCH to have a refrigerator and place to store the produce. She added the total amount to operate the PATCH may be less than the budgeted $150,000.00 because of revenues and grants received. Staff will look at options which can be discussed when the budget is presented, and the Board can decide how to proceed. Dan Murphy, Economic Development Manager, noted the amount of produce is only 10-12,000 pounds, not the estimated 30,000 pounds per year; also the hours of operation could be expanded to increase sales and ultimately, production. Director Bach addressed the Arts & Seafood Festival, and noted the site layout will be redesigned for better flow; there will be separate hospitality areas; a food concessionaire will be hired; and a continued parking agreement with the Casino has been confirmed and they will also work with us to bring in national acts. Director Bach noted economic development issues will be discussed during the budget. Vice-Chairman Jones suggested maintenance and upkeep of the parking garage need to be looked at. He spoke of variances for parking spaces being granted and nothing being paid into the parking fund. Chairman Salvino felt we should focus on going back to Wards again and not letting them die; he hates to see businesses start and then lose their mojo. 3.
