Call to Order/Roll Call Chairman James called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Present: Chairman: Tamara James Vice-Chairman: Bill Harris Board Members: Chickie Brandimarte Bobbie H. Grace Marco A. Salvino, Sr. 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 3.1 CRA Executive Director Report Director Bach reviewed the information that was provided in the agenda packet. Chairman James questioned if we distribute the information for the Neighborhood Nights to the local schools and Education Advisory Board. Director Bach noted it has been done in the past, and will look to see if it is still happening. Director Bach provided an updated site plan for the Arts and Seafood Festival. She asked the board to discuss appointing someone to participate on the Planning Committee. Board Member Grace cautioned they need friendly people to be volunteers because she will not tolerate nonsense this year. Board Member Salvino questioned how the VIP area would work this year. Director Bach noted the volunteer area will be completely separate from the VIP area this year. Additionally, if the budget permits, there will be a hired host/hostess working the door who will only allow access to those with a band. Board Member Salvino suggested we install more tents and seating areas, which would likely eliminate problems in the VIP tent and increase food sales. There was discussion as to why a Board Member should attend the planning meetings. The Board generally concurred that they should not participate this year, but perhaps beginning next year. 4. Presentations There were no presentations on this agenda. 5. Consent Agenda Items Removed from Consent Agenda: #5.3 5.1 Minutes: Approve Minutes of December 13, 2016 CRA Board Meeting 5.2 Travel Requests: None Board Member Grace motioned to approve the Consent Agenda,with the exception of Item #5.3; seconded by Board Member Brandimarte. The motion carried unanimously. 5.3 Approval of the Commercial Property Improvement Grant Application for Bake Shack, located at 238 South Federal Highway, in an amount not to exceed $20,000.00 Board Member Grace noted we do not want to run into the same problems we have had in the past because the business has not been in business for two years. She questioned why the application is in the business' name and not the owner's name. Director Bach noted the owner of the property has owned it for over two years and the grant agreement would be with the owner. The permanent improvements would remain with the building regardless of who the tenant may be. Board Member Brandimarte questioned the outside dining and parking. Director Bach responded the plan was reviewed by the zoning department and ample parking is available. There was discussion on whether or not the business or property owner should apply for the grant. Minutes of Regular Meeting 2 Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Tuesday,January 10,2017—6:00 p.m. Director Bach suggested the Board defer the item and she would re-review the agreement for the next meeting. Vice-Chairman Harris motioned to continue the Grant Application for Bake Shack until the next CRA Board Meeting on February 14, 2017; seconded by Board Member Salvino. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Board Member Brandimarte Yes Vice-Chairman Harris Yes Board Member Grace Yes Chairman James Yes Board Member Salvino Yes 6. Proposals and Bids There were no proposals on this agenda. 7. Discussion and Possible Action There were no discussion items on this agenda. 8. Board Member Comments Board Member Grace commented on the Arts & Seafood Festival, and expressed her concern with parking for the event. She asked if we reached out to the Church for additional parking. Director Bach responded we need to promote the use of the trolley and the use of the parking garage this year since fewer spaces would be available from the casino. Chairman James questioned if there were any opportunities for marketing and advertising the Arts & Seafood Festival. She has contacts that she can recommend for someone local, if the budget allows. Director Bach agreed that getting the information out is difficult, and encouraged the Board to assist with getting the word out.
