We will apply for the permit if the Commission approves this option; the proposal is for 1MG from the C-51, which he recommends. He proposes to use State Revolving Funds to finance the $4.6 million cost. Commissioner Grace asked if Hollywood has its own contract. Dr. Bloetscher explained Hollywood's water supply arrangements.

Citizen Comments Lorraine Rafanelto, 121 SE 3rd Avenue, #203, requested the Commission to provide sandbags to Dania Beach residents again this hurricane season. Mayor James commended City staff on the efforts of accommodating residents last hurricane season. Commissioner Grace asked City Manager Baldwin if providing the sand bags is in our budget. City Manager Baldwin responded we will again offer sandbags this year. Mayor James asked if we could determine when the City would provide sand bags to residents based on the category type of storm. City Manager Baldwin replied an evaluation on the type of storm would be necessary on when sand bags would be distributed. Lee Vickers, 112 NW 14 Way, spoke about 1st Street and noted it is more of a pedestrian street. He stated Dania Beach Boulevard and 1st Street should be developed with projects that are walking friendly to connect Dania Pointe and City Hall. Mayor James said she would be opposed to businesses in that residential area. Vice-Mayor Harris asked Mr. Vickers to contact him as there are various plans in the works with Broward MPO. Commissioner Grace noted we would keep this residential area as it is. Minutes of Regular Meeting 2 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,June 26,2018—7:00 p.m. Craig Valentine, 1982 Tigertail Boulevard, spoke of an upcoming wrestling event on July 22na Arthur Razor, 5751 SW 241h Avenue, thanked the City for sending out warning notices about garbage bins left on the street, but the problem has returned. The grass on the swale on the east side of 24th Avenue is a continuing problem and he asked how they can get the City to mow the swale. Mayor James advised Mr. Razor to contact Brad Kaine, Public Services Director. 6. Public Safety Reports Captain Daniel Marks, BSO Chief of Police, reported on recent criminal activity. He spoke of the Sheriff's annual awards ceremony held last week; the Dania Beach crime suppression team was awarded the Department of Law Enforcement unit of the year award and the COP unit was awarded the volunteer service award. In July, Deputies will meet with various businesses to identify crime prevention concerns they have. Vice-Mayor Harris noted he has had a request from the Marine Advisory Board for a marine patrol officer dedicated to the City. Captain Marks responded the marine patrol is countywide and they respond immediately to an emergency. City Manager Baldwin added we had asked the Sheriff before for marine patrol; if we want our own, we would have to put it in our contract. Commissioner Brandimarte questioned the boat slips at the marina that we allocated for the patrol. Vice Mayor Harris asked if we could have a COPS program on the water, and Captain Marks indicated he would look into it. Sean Brown, Battalion Chief, BSO Fire Rescue, gave a status report on the smoke detector giveaway. Commissioner Brandimarte asked Chief Brown to attend the seniors meeting in the Fall. 7.

City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Resolution#2018-094. Commissioner Grace said she appreciates the work the City Manager and Finance Director did on this item, but she has a few concerns. She is on board with the $11,700 for Item #1 and is comfortable with Item#2; however Item#3,portable traffic signals, needs further explanation. Nicki Satterfield, Director of Finance, said staff looked at the pricing in state contracts; this was just a cost proposal staff was asked to look into. Commissioner Grace felt we need Item#3, especially if we have a major hurricane. Item#4 is a yes and Item#5 needs further explanation. Finance Director Satterfield explained Item #5 was the result of the Commission asking staff to look into the possibility of a metal detector in City Hall; to staff it properly, we would have to hire an additional security guard. Commissioner Grace said Item#9 is what we need instead, and questioned why we should spend additional monies for security at City Hall. Colin Donnelly, Assistant City Manager, said there are concerns about additional security at City Hall; Hollywood has this, and he explained why a two-guard system is needed. Minutes of Regular Meeting 7 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,June 26,2018—7:00 p.m. Commissioner Grace questioned why this is coming up right before our next budget. Assistant City Manager Donnelly said the concern for security came up after the last budget was approved and we thought we would address it as soon as we could. A lot of our issues are happening in the parking garage. Commissioner Brandimarte commented one of the guards should be a woman for a pat-down of a female. She added BSO still has to be called for a pat-down. Mayor James noted added security at City Hall has been a concern of the Commission; however since it came so late, it could wait for the next budget. Vice-Mayor Harris especially favors garage security because of the increased amount of hotel guests. Mayor James would like the Morrison Hotel to share the cost of the security since most of the cars parked in the garage overnight are from the hotel. Assistant City Manager Donnelly responded we would have to look at our agreement with the Morrison Hotel; the additional security requested would be for us. City Attorney Ansbro noted we do not provide security for the hotel; they are completely responsible for their own. Assistant City Manager Donnelly added there are two other renters in the garage; ultimately, if something happens in the garage, we are going to have some type of liability so we want to make sure it is safe. Commissioner Grace said we should wait on Item #5 until we get to the budget and it should be removed at this time. There was unanimous consensus to remove Item#5 from the Resolution. Commissioner Salvino said he does not favor Item #3; the chance we would have to use portable traffic signals is slim. Vice-Mayor Harris noted the technology is still new and expensive; if we wait a year, we may be able to save some money. There was unanimous consensus to remove Item#3 from the Resolution. Commissioner Grace commented she favors Item#6 and questioned Item#8. Finance Director Satterfield explained we are finalizing Phase I of the beach revitalization. Minutes of Regular Meeting 8 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,June 26,2018—7:00 p.m. Commissioner Grace asked for an explanation of Item#11. Assistant City Manager Donnelly noted the item is to change the classification of three employees in Community Development. He explained the use of assignment pay; changes to this department are going to last throughout the building boom, and use of assignment pay is inappropriate. We turned it over to Evergreen to look at and they recommended a 4% salary increase effective back to January and a change of titles. Commissioner Grace said she is agitated that this came to the Commission after the fact. She does not penalize employees for getting us to where we are. She noted she had expressed these sentiments to the City Manager. She proposes the employees be given a 10% increase retroactive to October. City Manager Baldwin noted the reason Community Development Director LaFerrier set up the special permitting office was because of Dania Point and other developments important to the City. Commissioner Grace asked why the three employees who got us to this point would be- penalized; other employees have not been penalized, instead they have received healthy increases. This is why we have a morale problem and she does not like what is going on. Commissioner Salvino said what he sees coming is the next three people will come up and complain, and the next three people will come up. He is not opposed to the raises, and thinks each department needs to re-evaluate each employee and pay them according to their position, not just pick three people out. Morale could change with this. Commissioner Grace commented we went through this with the Public Works Department before we ratified the contract; the morale was very low. Every case is a different case. Do what is right for the employees in this department now; deal with it on an individual basis. We should not make employees feel uncomfortable. Mayor James said her issue is also the grades difference between the three employees; she wants to see the information provided to Evergreen. She will continue to fight for the side that is right. We did not use Evergreen when we gave other employees new titles and increases in pay. Evergreen does not understand what our situation is. Vice-Mayor Harris asked when the results from the Class and Compensation study will be available. Assistant City Manager Donnelly responded they are behind, but he should have an answer by the end of the week. In this case, he asked Evergreen outside of the Class and Compensation study, and explained the reason behind the step increases. Commissioner Grace said she had asked the City Manager if this was done properly. Minutes of Regular Meeting 9 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,June 26,2018—7:00 p.m. City Manager Baldwin noted this is something that should have been addressed at the beginning of the last fiscal year, and explained why it is before the Commission now. Commissioner Brandimarte asked if the three employees were asked or were told to take over their new positions. Marc LaFerrier, Community Development Director, explained he chose the three employees. Commissioner Brandimarte said she is union and management. The union should have been notified and made a classification when the new position came up; the employees should have been able to bid on the positions. The Commission is at fault for wanting to expedite permits for Dania Pointe. She questioned what the three employees were told about the increase in salary when they assumed the new jobs. Director LaFerrier explained there were not new positions to fill when the assignments were made to the SPO. He described the SPO approach and noted he is coming back now to ensure the employees are properly paid. Commissioner Brandimarte asked what Director LaFerrier's recommended increase was for the three employees. Assistant City Manager Donnelly responded 10%. Commissioner Grace motioned to give the three employees a 10% salary increase retroactive to October; seconded by Commissioner Brandimarte. Commissioner Salvino felt this will open up a can of worms with the employees. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Brandimarte Yes Vice-Mayor Harris Yes Commissioner Grace Yes Mayor James Yes Commissioner Salvino Yes Commissioner Grace motioned to adopt Resolution #2018-094, excluding Items #3 and #5, and amending Item #11; seconded by Vice-Mayor Harris. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Brandimarte Yes Vice-Mayor Harris Yes Commissioner Grace Yes Mayor James Yes Commissioner Salvino Yes 8.

(SECOND READING) City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Ordinance #2018-011, and explained this came about in order to address the problems with some of the motels in Dania Beach. Mayor James asked if we would reinstate the Nuisance Abatement Board after this is adopted. City Attorney Ansbro responded we do not need the board as it only covers very specific things; we are dealing with a number of offenses that would not fall within the board's purview. Vice-Mayor Harris asked if this would include complaints about Airbnbs. City Attorney Ansbro said no. Mayor James opened the Public Hearing. Seeing as there was no one to speak in favor or opposition, she closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Grace motioned to adopt Ordinance #2018-011, on second reading; seconded by Vice-Mayor Harris. The motion carried unanimously. 10. Discussion and Possible Action There were no discussion items on this agenda. 11. Commission Comments 11.1 Commissioner Brandimarte Commissioner Brandimarte said regarding the situation with the three employees, we will not do this the same way again.

Commissioner Salvino said he is fine if the special meeting for the City Manager search on Friday starts at 9:00 a.m. Commissioner Grace commented we should narrow it down to three candidates. Mayor James said she would reach out to Renee Narloch and find out what is next; we are all agreeing to meet on Friday for an hour starting at 9:00 a.m. 11.4 Vice-Mayor Harris Vice-Mayor Harris said the new Hilton's construction fence, as well as the building across the street, were hit with graffiti and asked how we can better police downtown at night. Captain Marks noted our deputies are currently out identifying which areas need better lighting. Vice-Mayor Harris spoke of the owner of the Creative Workshop who had his water shut off without receiving notice. He asked if there are robo calls or mechanisms to alert customers. Nicki Satterfield, Director of Finance, noted the City policy and code provides for connection and disconnection of water service. We send the normal billing invoice, and after the due date they are given a ten day grace period before we send a delinquent notice and a subsequent second bill. We then wait almost another 10 days after that due date before the water is shut off. Vice-Mayor Harris said he received a backflow shutoff notice for a property at 29 S Federal Highway. Brad Kaine, Director of Public Services, explained the records have not been updated since the program was initiated in 2011, and noted there is no fine involved. Vice-Mayor Harris asked about the conference room furniture. Assistant City Manager Donnelly responded the colors have been finalized and the furniture will be ordered. We are also looking at sound baffling and wall hangings to help with the acoustics. Vice-Mayor Harris suggested art from local artists be put on the walls. Assistant City Manager Donnelly noted we have reached out to the Creative Arts Council Advisory Board; it would be an extension of the atrium gallery.

Mayor James asked when the RFP would be coming out for our financial advisor, as the contract expires soon. Nicki Satterfield, Director of Finance, responded it does not expire until October. This is not an RFP type of service; it comes from the City Manager's office. Mayor James asked about the Bermello contract for the Parks &Recreation Master Plan. Finance Director Satterfield said it went out and has not been returned. Mayor James commented Dania After Dark was an amazing event; the next event is on July 141h 12.
