Minutes of Regular Meeting 5 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,October 9,2018—7:00 p.m. Mayor James asked how many streets have been renamed rather than co-designated, and who pays for the signage.

Minutes of Regular Meeting 6 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,October 9,2018—7:00 p.m. Vice-Mayor Harris spoke about one of the arks Master Plan meetings he attended last week. Y P p Commissioner Grace asked about the status of the RFP for auditing services and how the Commission will rank the bidders. Nicki Satterfield, Director of Finance, responded the bid is due on October 26th, which gives the audit committee two weeks to evaluate the submissions; a resolution will be brought to the Commission on November 13th. She clarified Florida Statute provides that the audit committee will bring the top three ranked firms to the Commission which will select the top-ranked firm; if they do not, they need to disclose why they are not choosing that firm and then they can go to the second ranked firm and then the third and the fourth, if necessary, following the same disclosure process. Mayor James questioned why the City Commission is not the audit committee; she is concerned about a conflict of interest because the Finance Department will be choosing who is going to audit them. Finance Director Satterfield explained her recommendation that she brought to the Commission in March for an audit committee, which should be comprised of people who have financial expertise. She reviewed subsequent actions taken since then, including the makeup of the audit committee, which was a Commission decision. Commissioner Grace asked if the Commission will make the final decision as to who will be our auditing firm. Finance Director Satterfield reiterated the requirements of state statute, particularly those requirements for choosing a firm other than the top-ranked firm. City Attorney Ansbro clarified the cone of silence in effect; if someone tries to contact the Commission or the audit committee,they must not accept the contact. Finance Director Satterfield noted that any contact regarding this RFP must be done through the City Clerk's office. 11.5 Mayor James Mayor James wished everyone a happy Halloween and invited everyone to the Fall festival on October 31 st Mayor James spoke of the homecoming for the football team at CW Thomas Park, and thanked Parks & Recreation and Public Works staff.

We need to be aware of shifts and changes that are going on which affects school funding. We need more school involvement from the dais, even if it is just students leading the pledge at Commission meetings.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: October 9, 2018 TO: Robert Baldwin, City Manager FROM: Marc LaFerrier, AICP, D' c SUBJECT: Report on Upcoming Bryan Road/Old Griffin Road Roadway Construction and Maintenance of Traffic Plan. Representatives from Kimco and their consultants will provide a report on the progress of development at Dania Pointe and the related public improvements during the "Presentations and Special Events" portion of the City Commission's October 9, 2018 agenda. In particular, the report will include a presentation on upcoming Bryan Road/Old Griffin Road roadway construction and the Maintenance of Traffic Plan (MOT). Background Included with the City Commission's approval of the plat, rezoning and site plans for Dania Pointe was an "Off-site Public Improvement Agreement" between the City and Dania Pointe. This agreement requires Dania Pointe to improve certain roadways, intersections, and utilities related to the development of the project. The agreement also included a schedule for the improvements in coordination with the project. Dania Pointe will complete Phase I of the project by the end of year. Kimco has now submitted permits for buildings in Phase li of the project. Phase II is the much anticipated mixed-use, urban center phase of the project. The Development Agreement requires that the off-site utility and roadway improvements must be completed by Kimco prior to the occupancy for any building in Phase II. It is expected that the first buildings in this phase will be be completed in Spring/Summer 2019. One of the remaining required roadway improvements to complete the project is the new intersection at Bryan Road and Old Griffin Road. However, the completion of this roadway project is complicated with geotechnical, geometric, utility and logistical site constraints. Furthermore, the improvements need to be coordinated with FDOT/Broward County improvements planned for the remaining portions of Old Griffin Road. Due to these complications Kimco has very limited opportunities for qualified contractors to perform the work within the site constraints and development schedule. The only contractor willing and able to complete the work requires the roadways to be closed during the roadway construction. This roadway closure would mean that Old Griffin Road would not be open west of the C-10 canal or east of the Ocean Waterway Mobile Home Park's western access. Bryan Road would be closed north of Ocean Waterway's southern access. Bryan Road and Old Griffin Road are under the jurisdiction of Broward County and subject to FDOT standards. The planned road closure has received preliminary approval with Broward County and FDOT. The schedule for the closure is planned for approximately 90 days and would commence in the upcoming months (December — February). A Maintenance of Traffic Plan (MOT) that is approved by the City and County is included with the required permits. The MOT will provide; public information about the improvement's and road closure, delineates the detours and redirects traffic and communicates updates and modifications. The exhibits illustrating the improvements, closure and MOT are being finalized by Kimco and will be provided as a hand-out and a power point presentation at tonight's City Commission meeting. Mr. Denis will make the presentation and staff will be available for questions. - .f _ n _ - � t .1 t s .;. s^'„ � � �Yw ~�•'_y '�� e.p' +`fib- `�� J z o- 4: b E e , =a ri x i ' c d ° e F , a f Hm 0 d - k M M Old Griffin Road Improvements X. x� Overall Construction Full Closure Exhibit NP tN z f y Pr for T� i x �n nZ7 Y mtg..
