Minutes of Regular Meeting 3 Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Monday, October 7,2019—5:30 p.m. Discussion ensued regarding which Board Members would go to which events since the number of tickets allocated for the White Party and Grand Marshall Reception were limited in number, which would not allow attendance by the entire Board. Board Member James asked if we split the package with Dania Pointe. Director Williams said Dania Pointe has been very generous in splitting the tickets with us; for the most part, it is an even split. Discussion ensued regarding tickets for the White Party and Grand Marshall Reception, and the desire that every Board Member should be able to attend both events Director Williams noted she would go back to Winterfest about the White Party and the Grand Marshall Reception tickets. She confirmed the Board agreed the boat ride is feasible; each Member would receive six tickets and would submit the names of those participating. Board Member James questioned reallocating the tickets for the boat ride if there are people who do not want to go. If we have enough, we could possibly invite the presidents of the HOAs. Director Williams noted November 15th is the deadline for the master list for the boat ride; if people on the list let us know they do not want to go, we can allocate those tickets to whoever the Board determines. She confirmed that the City boards would determine who from the board should represent them. 8. Board Member Comments There were no comments at this meeting. 9.
