10. Discussion and Possible Action
10.1 General Budget Discussion- City Manager Baldwin
City Manager Baldwin reviewed the memo included in the backup and asked the Commission
for general direction.
The Commission was opposed to raising property taxes.
Commissioner Brandimarte was opposed to an increase in parking and recreation fees.
The Commission did not want an increase in water rates, solid waste franchise fees, stormwater
and cemetery fees.
Nicki Satterfield, Director of Finance, explained General Obligation Bonds, and the timeframe
and process involved in going to referendum at the November 2018 election.
Commissioner Brandimarte questioned if Hollywood charges Dania Beach residents more for
ambulance calls.
Finance Director Satterfield explained how they charge different rates for residents and non-
residents and for automatic aid.
Commissioner Grace explained why she does not favor residents voting on a General Obligation
Bond.
Commissioner Salvino explained why he favors a General Obligation Bond that does not go to
referendum.
Mayor James favors a GO bond because of her desire for a multi-sport complex, and a lot of
great things could possibly come out of this bond. She asked if grants could be used to pay off
bonds.
Finance Director Satterfield noted it depends on how the bond is structured.
Commissioner Brandimarte is not in favor of borrowing any money under any circumstances, as
we are two years or less from getting revenues from Dania Pointe. We should not worry about
building a complex; the most important things right now are police and fire contracts. She added
Minutes of Regular Meeting 8
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,May 9,2017—7:00 p.m.
the City Manager should deal with important issues; we should wait as the revenues will come in
from Dania Pointe and we will not owe money to anyone.
Mayor James noted we have started senior activities at CW Thomas Park, and spoke of important
issues facing the City other than police and fire.
Commissioner Grace said borrowing money would set a bad precedent for the City. We will be
better off in a year and a half, we can wait. We should be cautious and optimistic.
Vice-Mayor Harris questioned why we could not have both a bond and tax revenues coming in
from Dania Pointe. He questioned which would give the City revenue first.
Finance Director Satterfield said it would be about the same period of time.
City Manager Baldwin spoke of the expenditure side and asked if anything on the list should not
be considered.
Commissioners Salvino and Grace said we can discuss it at the workshop in two weeks.
City Manager Baldwin addressed Hollywood eliminating BSO's automatic aid agreement due to
the amount of calls they are running into Dania Beach. He thinks they are posturing to get us to
add four paramedics to Station 17, and he will meet with them to try to work out a compromise.
Vice-Mayor Harris asked, based on the randomness of the salary report provided to the
Commission, if it would be possible to do a job classification study to bring some of the salaries
in line with others commensurate with responsibilities.
City Manager Baldwin said we could do another compensation and pay study; we can put it in
the budget proposal.
Vice-Mayor Harris questioned if there is any way to reestablish the performance evaluation and
merit raises.
City Manager Baldwin explained the Commission did away with performance raises about eight
years ago because of the economy; the union decided to negotiate flat pay raises in the collective
bargaining agreement. Additionally, the pension is adjusted annually and that is usually where
the bigger increases are.
Vice-Mayor Harris felt we need to look at bringing back performance based evaluations so that
employees know how they are doing.
Commissioner Grace said she looked at the salaries for department heads and they are way out of
line; we have to go back and restructure them.
Mayor James noted the salary report was difficult to read and requested a consolidated report
with the different years on one sheet in order to see the comparison.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 9
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,May 9,2017—7:00 p.m.
City Manager Baldwin reiterated additional paramedics could be difficult to fund; if this is
funded, we would have to forego adding deputies.
City Manager Baldwin addressed outsourcing.
Commissioner Brandimarte noted we need to prioritize because we cannot possibly do
everything that was discussed.
City Manager Baldwin noted the police and fire radios will have to be replaced, which is
approximately $650,000. He pointed out that things are improving, but we are still not where we
want to be with the budget.
10.2 Discussion regarding 3-way stop signs at NW 1st Street and Bryan Road - Vice-
Mayor Harris
Vice-Mayor Harris noted this request came from a community meeting; he has been to MPO and
the County Department of Transportation and Mobility, and plans to follow-up on this on
Thursday at the MPO. He added what needs to be done with the MPO is to make it project-ready
for the County so it goes to the head of the line.
Mayor James said it is a safety concern for our residents and emergency purposes.
11. Commission Comments
11.1 Commissioner Brandimarte
Commissioner Brandimarte commented that the Commission has to be careful on whom they
appoint to the Police and Fire Pension Board; the person needs stock market expertise.
Commissioner Brandimarte spoke of Hollywood EMS rates and the fee charged to a
Meadowbrook resident.
11.2 Commissioner Grace
Commissioner Grace spoke of Fleet Week, Lions Club, and Collins Elementary School reunion
activities, and last night's meeting with Superintendent Runcie.
Commissioner Grace noted she has tickets for sale for the Collins Elementary All School reunion
banquet, at $40.00 per ticket or $400.00 per table. The consensus of the Commission was to
have the City Manager buy a table for the event.
Mayor James noted that all of the money raised goes to the literacy program at Collins
Elementary.

City BTRs. He wants to start a visitation to all the businesses and also work with Katia Bordy,
Public Information Officer, to do a welcome kit for new businesses coming into the City.
Vice-Mayor Harris stated there are requests for code enforcement after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays
and during the weekends, as well as parking issues and coverage on the weekends.
Vice-Mayor Harris addressed notification for public hearings; we need to do better.
Vice-Mayor Harris noted he requested City Manager Baldwin to host the League of Cities in
January or February of 2018.
Vice-Mayor Harris said all the signs at Sheridan Plaza are in conformance except for
Hemingway Bistro, which still only has a banner.
Vice-Mayor Harris commented he would address bus stops with the MPO, and questioned if we
have the new designs yet.
City Manager Baldwin responded the designs should be coming soon.
Vice-Mayor Harris questioned the dog policy at the marina and if things were resolved.
Mark Felicetty, Director of Parks and Recreation, noted improvement has been remarkable
because boat owners are policing themselves. He said dogs north of the Quarterdeck are still a
problem and new signs have been erected. No citations are being issued; people are being told to
take their dog and leave.
11.5 Mayor James
Mayor James spoke of Fleet Week and attending a luncheon at the coast guard station.
Mayor James noted Walmart has been selling alcohol; she asked the City Manager to look into it
and also to see what action we are going to take when business owners violate our ordinances.
