Call to Order/Roll Call Chairman Salvino called the meeting to order at 6:08 p.m. Present: Chairman: Marco A. Salvino, Sr. Vice-Chairman: Albert C. Jones Board Members: Chickie Brandimarte Paul Fetscher Bobbie H. Grace Executive Director: Rachel Bach City Attorney: Thomas Ansbro CRA Secretary: Louise Stilson 2. Citizen Comments There were no citizen comments at this meeting. 3. Administrative Reports 4. Presentations 4.1 CRA Budget Preview Presentation FY 2016-2017 Director Bach noted her administrative report is included with the PowerPoint of the proposed Work Plan and Budget for FY 2017,which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. Board Member Grace spoke of the Director position, and asked if we can save money if we put the CRA under the City, perhaps under Parks & Recreation. She noted we have already put some of the employees under the City, and she has a young lady coming to the Commission meeting to ask for$2,500.00. City Attorney Ansbro noted we would need Finance to provide that information. CRA funding is City money and that would come back to the City Director Bach added the savings would depend on how many employees you downsize; if it were the same number, there would not be any savings. Savings would come from deciding what the priorities are and how much the Board wants to spend on them. Board Member Grace stated either we will have Director Bach as the director or we will not, and asked if we can make a decision for the Director or not. Chairman Salvino asked where the $150,000.00 increase in personnel cost came from. Director Bach responded the amount includes the Executive Director position. Chairman Salvino said he is opposed to not having a CRA Department, but we need to decide on a director position or stay with RMA. Board Member Brandimarte thought the discussion was whether Director Bach should be working for us. Chairman Salvino explained the differences between utilizing Director Bach through RMA and hiring her directly. Board Member Brandimarte said she is happy with the way it is. Chairman Salvino noted he is happy with the way it is; the only factor for him is the cost savings. Director Bach stated the cost for an employee as Director is about the same as the contract cost. Vice-Chairman Jones asked about Chapter 163, and if the CRA can come under the City. City Attorney Ansbro responded no, it has to operate as an independent and autonomous agency. Vice-Chairman Jones reiterated his position voiced at previous meetings regarding hiring a director. Board Member Grace said we eventually have to make this decision, and her understanding is that there would not be a savings. She asked where we are with the loan with Broward County. Director Bach responded there is no agreement with the County that we do not have to pay it back. She has made a request to forgive approximately half of the loan, and hopefully we will have an answer by the end of the fiscal year. Board Member Fetscher asked what the ramifications are of eliminating the CRA entirely. City Attorney Ansbro said some of the things the CRA has powers to do under state law would drop off, but the City could take over some of the projects. We would need to look at everything the CRA has in place before simply terminating it. Vice-Chairman Jones spoke of the time before we had a fully operational CRA, and the history of how it came to be. Minutes of Regular Meeting 2 Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Tuesday,July 28,2016—6:00 p.m. Director Bach clarified that staff would still need to be hired to do what is done by the CRA, unless the City decides not to pursue those items. She noted the CRA was under the City Manager from 2002 to 2008; it seems to have worked better in Dania Beach with having a separate executive director. Board Member Grace explained she came back to City government because of the CRA under Executive Director Earle. She does not want to take anything away from the CRA, she wants to embrace it. Let us move the CRA under the umbrella of Dania Beach forward to make sure we get the projects. 5.
