Mayor James noted a representative from Debbie Wasserman Schultz' office provided
information on Hurricane Irma, which will be placed in the atrium at City Hall.
11. Commission Comments
11.1 Commissioner Brandimarte
Commissioner Brandimarte commented on how disasters do not always bring out the good in
people, it also brings out the bad in people. She noted she is proud of Dania Beach residents.
She said Carol Hemmis should not have to pay for her water bill because a tree fell in her
backyard and the roots were attached to the water lines.
11.2 Commissioner Grace
Commissioner Grace announced her employees of the month are Public Services Director Kaine
and Mayor James for their efforts during Hurricane Irma.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 9
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, September 12,2017—7:00 p.m.
Commissioner Grace addressed the Dania Bears and said they did not have their last two games
because they did not have referees or a police detail; she asked the City to get the program up to
par. City Manager Baldwin noted we budgeted some money in the event we wanted to take over
the Bears and money for an athletic director.
Commissioner Grace also addressed the MLK celebration. She was the chairperson for 18 years
and they did not receive funding from the City; they got out and solicited donations and money
for the event. They did give out scholarships of $500, and there was also a scholarship under
Dania Jai Alai for $10,000. She is not against the City giving out funding, but she wants it to be
a positive reflection on the City, not a negative. Organizations should be held accountable
because it is taxpayer money.
11.3 Commissioner Salvino
Commissioner Salvino was not present at this meeting.
11.4 Vice-Mayor Harris
Vice-Mayor Harris thanked Public Services Director Kaine for coordination of the sand bag
event. He requested pictures from the storm so that Public Information Officer Bordy could
compile them. He spoke of residents and non-residents who helped; maybe at the next meeting
we can get some kind of thank you to them.
Vice-Mayor Harris noted the Lighthouse Church Special Commemoration on October 22.
Vice-Mayor Harris spoke of the EOC and said it was awesome.
Vice-Mayor Harris noted he wanted to have this meeting tonight to show people that we are
Dania Beach strong.
11.5 Mayor James
Mayor James thanked Parks & Recreation staff and Director Felicetty for coordinating with
Public Services Director Kaine and his crew. There was a lot of room for improvement with a
lot of things we did, but that will be addressed internally. She thanked the Commission for
coming out tonight, and noted we will have to look at ordinances in reference to trees especially
during hurricane events. She said she is proud of the Commission, and we will need to decide on
what to do with this building.
Mayor James spoke of the Dania Bears. She is unsure what we can do to resolve the issue, and
wants to get with Parks & Recreation Director Felicetty to discuss. She does not know why
officers are required, and questioned if we could use a volunteer officer. City Manager Baldwin
will ask Chief Marks.
Mayor James addressed the MLK organization. This will not be discussed at the budget hearing
tomorrow. They have $23,000 in their account, and this is before we give them $15,000.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 10
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, September 12,2017—7:00 p.m.
Scholarships will be $3,000 this year, which leaves them $20,000 to do the program and events.
The City has excellent events; she wonders where the funds are going. A scholarship recipient
received funds and had them taken back without his knowledge. The City is capable of throwing
a MLK event in the park; the committee can handle the other things. She added she only
receives $1,500 from the City for her organization. The MLK money needs to be managed for
the residents of Dania Beach.
Mayor James noted a young man from Dania Beach who played for the Dania Bears, graduated
from Hallandale High School, and is a starter quarterback for a football team; he will get a shout-
out at the next meeting.
12. Appointments
There were no appointments of this meeting.
13. Administrative Reports
13.1 City Manager
City Manager Baldwin noted this hurricane has been a challenge, and thanked present and past
commissions for the Ready Conference; it is all about being ready when a storm comes. He
thanked the Commission for being available to him during the event, and thanked several staff
members. He noted the City has no phones or internet, and reviewed additional information
provided in a status report which is attached to and incorporated in these minutes.
13.2 City Attorney
City Attorney Ansbro noted lobbyist Josh Gaboton will be working with FEMA, and
recommended amending his contract tonight at no additional cost to help us until a new contract
with the City for lobbyist services can be finalized.
Commissioner Grace motioned to amend the Gaboton contract; seconded by Vice-Mayor
Harris. The motion carried unanimously.
Lorraine Raffanello, 121 SE 3rd Avenue,thanked the Commission for providing the sand bags.

Josh,
Per our conversation,the City of Dania Beach has no purchasing department and we have been working on a
procurement for debris hauling over the past few months. Currently we have a piggyback contract with Ashbritt
Environmental through another City. We also are securing a monitoring contract with a company through another City
as well. FEMA typically doesn't like piggybacks and we want to make we have no issues in the recovery process just
because we don't have bided contracts. Anything you can do to help would be great.
