Minutes of Regular Meeting 3 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,January 28,2020—7:00 p.m. Commissioner James noted the only issue she has is that the funding is coming from Commission contingency. City Manager Garcia explained City wide assessments were conducted, and we want to make sure we take advantage of the penny sales tax with ready-to-go projects. She noted to date, we have lost revenue from Broward County for our bus route and stressed the importance of a transit study. This came after the budget process, and Commission contingency was funded for things such as this. Commissioner James said every department has funding for professional services, and questioned the balance in Commission contingency. She added this is not something the Commission planned for, and questioned what they are going to do when they have a priority they wish to undertake. City Manager Garcia responded the only place we can tap into for such an important matter is the Commission contingency. She noted we cut the City budget this year to balance it. Frank DiPaolo, Director of Finance, said currently there is $42,899.00 in the account; after this transfer, $8,000 would be remaining. Commissioner James said this is a concern of hers as the contingency would be wiped out; we have different funding mechanisms. City Manager Garcia noted we cut nearly $2 million to balance this budget. In order to tap into the penny tax, you are either ready or not. Master plans have never come forward in the City as the City has been reactive rather than proactive; this is an investment. We have lost money because our City it not meeting standards in bus ridership. Commissioner James felt it is not right to wipe out the Commission's contingency. Commissioner Harris noted as a member of the MPO, there may be a funding mechanism that would pay for all or a part of this study. There is a Board meeting on February 12th and we will know at that time how much money will come from the County to alleviate the financial burden. City Manager Garcia said our goal would be to get reimbursed; if we wait 90 days, it could push us out of the game plan. Commissioner Harris explained how the sales tax would be distributed from the State to the County, and then to the cities. City Manager Garcia noted it would be a priority to seek reimbursement. Vice-Mayor Odman agreed it is unfair for the Commission to wipe out the Commission contingency, but it is an important project. She questioned if there was funding anywhere else. Minutes of Regular Meeting 4 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,January 28,2020—7:00 p.m. Director of Finance DiPaolo responded he has looked everywhere. The funds can come from the Commission contingency or the General Fund, and once reimbursed, credited back. City Manager Garcia thought maybe we could find funding for half of the cost from the unfilled employee positions. Commissioner Brandimarte asked if City Manager Garcia was comfortable with leaving only $8,000.00 in Commission contingency. City Manager Garcia said yes; this is a good investment. Commissioner Brandimarte asked to have dialogue next time before it is put on the agenda. Commissioner James said protocol is lacking in a lot of areas; we need to have it and follow it. Commissioner James motioned to adopt Resolution #2020-010, as amended; seconded by Commissioner Harris. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Brandimarte Yes Vice-Mayor Odman Yes Commissioner Harris Yes Mayor Lewellen Yes Commissioner James Yes 8. Bids and Requests for Proposals 8.1 RESOLUTION#2020-011 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE PROPER CITY OFFICIALS TO AWARD INVITATION TO BID ("ITB") NO. 19-012 FOR THE "COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ("CDBG") YEARS 43 AND 44 NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT FOR INSTALLATION OF SOLAR LIGHTS - REBID" TO IMPERIAL ELECTRICAL INCORPORATED IN THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF TWO HUNDRED NINETY THREE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS ($293,600.00); PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER,PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Public Hearings and Site Plans 9.1 ORDINANCE#2020-003 Minutes of Regular Meeting 5 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,January 28,2020—7:00 p.m. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 28, "LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE," OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES BY AMENDING PART 2, "SITE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS," ARTICLE 205, "TABULAR SUMMARY OF SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR ALL ZONING DISTRICTS," SECTION 205-10(B) "PRD-1 AND MULTIPLE-FAMILY DISTRICTS" TO AMEND THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH AND DEPTH, MAXIMUM ALLOWED HEIGHT AND COVERAGE PERCENTAGE,AND THE MINIMUM INTERIOR OR SIDE, REAR, AND CORNER SIDE YARDS FOR TOWNHOUSES IN THE RM-1 AND RM-2 DISTRICTS (TX-165-19); PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (SECOND READING) (Community Development) City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Ordinance #2020-003. Corinne Lajoie, Planning &Zoning Manager, gave an overview of the text amendment. Mayor Lewellen opened the Public Hearing. Kurt Larsen, 5810 SW 36t' Terrace, spoke about flooding and new developments making existing situations worse. He provided each Commissioner with a copy of "Challenges in Forecasting Flooding, which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. Vice-Mayor Odman requested a response from staff. Planning & Zoning Manager Lajoie noted this is a text amendment that is increasing setbacks that would create more impervious area, which would help with flooding. Commissioner James said she is concerned about the flooding, and questioned how they would be able to keep the water on their property and what happens when the water is so great that the entire thing is flooded. Planning & Zoning Manager Lajoie explained the way that new development projects retain their onsite drainage is through driveways and retention areas. New projects are being engineered to accommodate flooding; drainage systems for neighboring sites that are not new may not be working sufficiently as they are older systems. Marc LaFerrier, Director of Community Development, addressed development in Hollywood directly east of Mr. Larsen's property. The South Florida Management District designs large scale projects, not the City of Dania Beach. All surface water management approvals go through Broward County. Mr. Larsen's part of the City never received the storm water management attention it required; the real solution is on a larger scale, which would be the SFWMD and the County. He noted this particular amendment would expand the green areas, which addresses Mr. Larsen's concern. Steve Goldberg, 4010 SW 54 Court, questioned lowering the development height by five feet. Director of Community Development LaFerrier responded the five feet reduction is minimal and would not change the living space of a unit. The height of the townhouse needs to accommodate the height of a two story home. Minutes of Regular Meeting 6 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,January 28,2020—7:00 p.m. Seeing as there was no one else to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Lewellen closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Harris motioned to adopt Ordinance #2020-003, on second reading; seconded by Commissioner Brandimarte. The motion carried on the following 4-1 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Brandimarte Yes Vice-Mayor Odman No Commissioner Harris Yes Mayor Lewellen Yes Commissioner James Yes City Attorney Ansbro advised the remaining items were quasi-judicial hearings and swore-in those who would speak. He asked the Commission to disclose any communication they had on these matters. 9.2 ORDINANCE#2020-004 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH,FLORIDA,APPROVING THE REQUEST, MADE BY LEIGH ROBINSON KERR & ASSOCIATES, INC. AND GREENSPOON MARDER, ON BEHALF OF BEJL 4200 REAL ESTATE, LLC, FOR A REZONING (RZ-131-19) AND FLEXIBILITY UNITS ALLOCATION(OT-139-19)FOR PROPERTIES GENERALLY LOCATED AT 4200 SW 54TH COURT IN THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH,FLORIDA,AS LEGALLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT"A,"A COPY OF WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THIS ORDINANCE; CHANGING THE CURRENT ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF THE PROPERTIES FROM COMMUNITY FACILITIES (CF) AND SINGLE-FAMILY 8000 RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (RD-8000) TO MULTIPLE-FAMILY (25 DU/AC) RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (RM-2), SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (FIRST READING) (Community Development) City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Ordinance#2020-004. Corinne Lajoie, Planning & Zoning Manager, gave a presentation on the rezoning and flexibility units allocation request. Mayor Lewellen opened the Public Hearing. Dennis Mele, Greenspoon Marder, representing the applicant, spoke of two neighborhood meetings held, and addressed the drainage and water concerns raised earlier. He gave a brief presentation on the proposed installation of cul-de-sacs and a gate to mitigate cut-through traffic in the neighborhood. Commissioner James asked who would manage the key fobs. Attorney Mele responded on-site management would be responsible; the developer has volunteered to do so. Minutes of Regular Meeting 7 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,January 28,2020—7:00 p.m. Commissioner James questioned how it would work if homes were turned into vacation rentals and whether they would have access to the key fob. Attorney Mele addressed the program and noted it is voluntary, not regulated. Commissioner James asked if the street lights could be solar. Attorney Mele said they would look into it. Commissioner Harris confirmed the amount of green space and ADA sidewalks. Mayor Lewellen asked if these are for purchase or rent. Attorney Mele responded they are rentals. Mayor Lewellen asked if the apartments could have the same restrictions similar to a HOA. Attorney Mele noted every apartment would have a minimal lease term of six months; they could not be sublet without the approval of the property owner. Commissioner Harris questioned how guests or family members who wanted to visit would be handled. Attorney Mele responded the community is gated; access would be granted from security. Robert Banks, 3831 SW 56 Street, asked for clarification regarding the 275 units getting the fobs, which would create a heavier flow of traffic. His biggest concern about the density is this may set a precedent for more multi-family developments along 40th Avenue. Marjorie Perry, 5521 SW 44 Terrace, thanked the Commission and staff for the signs and BSO for patrolling and ticketing when able. She spoke in opposition to the project, and submitted a petition of area residents opposing the closing of SW 54th Court at SW 40th Avenue, which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. Michael Paesani, 5510 SW 44th Terrace, commented on 254 fobs and 100 new units approved for 54th Avenue not being suitable. He favored the design and requested more citizen input before finalizing the project. Attorney Mele clarified most people will come in and out from State Road 441. The answer about key fob issuance will be at the February 1 lth meeting. Laurie Ann Groover, 5451 SW 44th Avenue, said the plan on paper looks beautiful, but in reality a development of this magnitude is too large for their neighborhood. There will over 500 additional cars. She is not opposed entirely to the project, but it needs to be reduced in magnitude. Minutes of Regular Meeting 8 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,January 28,2020—7:00 p.m. Susan Saver, 5551 SW 401h Avenue, noted 54th Street is very small and building this project of such density and height is irresponsible. She asked if the existing sanitary sewer system would be able to sustain the new development, and requested to see drainage plans and the reduction of the density. Christine Musial, 5414 SW 40 Terrace, felt like Hollywood and Dania Beach have thrown them under the bus. She likes the cul-de-sac, but it would not be built for several years. She wants rubberized strips on the road or something to calm traffic; the community on 54th Court needs help. Steven Goldberg, 4010 SW 54 Court, spoke in support of the project. Kurt Larsen, 5810 SW 36th Terrace, expressed concern regarding the fill that will be used on site and traffic on 40th Avenue. Artie Fraser, 3911 SW 56 Street, spoke in support of the project. He noted a lot of the concerns expressed are existing conditions and have nothing to do with the proposed development. The developer seems dedicated to resolving the problems. Mayor Lewellen noted the concerns voiced about the number of buildings and height. Attorney Mele commented there are two rings of residential with parking in the middle; it is not four buildings. They are preserving the setback on 54th as well as the trees, and the building is only occupying a small percentage of the property, less than 25%. If the building was shorter, it would have to be wider. Attorney Mele addressed the various concerns raised by the residents. Commissioner James asked how long it would take to construct the cul-de-sacs. Attorney Mele said the cul-de-sacs would be built by the time their building is open. Commissioner James questioned if it could be put in writing that current residents' key fob access would be grandfathered-in regardless of a change in management. She asked what the compromise was other than the cul-de-sac. John Lasko, 4160 NW 41St Street, noted the biggest issue at the meeting was the traffic, and described the dialogue. He added they are thrilled with the cul-de-sacs. Commissioner James asked who is in charge of pumping the lakes down. Attorney Mele said the SFWMD is first responsible and then they give direction to others to lower theirs. Commissioner Brandimarte asked about the time estimate for installation of the cul-de-sacs. Attorney Mele responded two years. Minutes of Regular Meeting 9 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,January 28,2020—7:00 p.m. Vice-Mayor Odman questioned whether we are a 100% sure the special needs bus can get through the cul-de-sac. Attorney Mele explained fire trucks are able to navigate the cul-de-sac and so are school buses. Commissioner Harris spoke about the neighborhood meetings and concerns expressed and addressed. He felt the project is a win/win for everyone. Dennis McGowan, 5551 SW 40a'Avenue, asked if the trees could be saved and relocated. Attorney Mele addressed their tree disposition plan, which everyone has a chance to review. Seeing as there was no one else to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Lewellen closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner James requested one more community meeting be held before second reading of the ordinance. Attorney Mele agreed to do so. Commissioner Harris motioned to adopt Ordinance #2020-004, on first reading; seconded by Commissioner Brandimarte. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Brandimarte Yes Vice-Mayor Odman Yes Commissioner Harris Yes Mayor Lewellen Yes Commissioner James Yes 9.3 RESOLUTION#2020-012 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE SITE PLAN MODIFICATION(SP-64-07MOD), SUBMITTED BY MSG PORT 95, LLC, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2650-2694 SW 36TH STREET IN THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, AS LEGALLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT "A," A COPY OF WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THIS RESOLUTION; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS;FURTHER,PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Discussion and Possible Action There were no discussion items on this agenda. 11. Commission Comments 11.1 Commissioner Brandimarte Commissioner Brandimarte thanked BSO for recovering her stolen car. Minutes of Regular Meeting 11 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,January 28,2020—7:00 p.m. 11.2 Commissioner Harris Commissioner Harris said 40"' Avenue is on the Project Ready list and should start as soon as June. He described another project on Old Griffin Road from Federal Highway to west of Bryan Road; it will be delayed because part of the seawall collapsed. Commissioner Harris thanked the Commissioners, Chamber of Commerce, and everyone who attended the opening of Cooper's Hawk at Dania Pointe. He thanked Human Resources Director Milligan for the Job Fair and Commissioner James for the sports program, both held at Dania Pointe. Commissioner Harris addressed the bankruptcy of Lucky's Market and the space at Dania Pointe; though the tenant is unknown at this time, there will be a brand new grocery store. Commissioner Harris noted flood plain meetings around the County about flood insurance rates are scheduled; anyone interested should check our website. 11.3 Commissioner James Commissioner James spoke of attending the School Board meeting today where they discussed the proposed Attucks-Bethune merger. She urged the Commission and community to be aware of what is happening. Commissioner James noted she saw new parks signs this morning at PJ Meli Park. Commissioner James commented Dania After Dark is on Saturday; she was on the radio to promote the City and CRA. She added it is going to be very special DAD and invited everyone to attend. Two former and three current NFL players are coming to DAD. Commissioner James noted the very successful sports clinic at Dania Pointe a couple weeks ago. 11.4 Vice-Mayor Odman Vice-Mayor Odman had no comments. 11.5 Mayor Lewellen Mayor Lewellen noted we are officially certified as a pet friendly city, which is an excellent economic engine for the City. Mayor Lewellen spoke of her attendance at the U.S. Conference of Mayors. She went to a meeting of small cities that addressed grants for small cities, and another discussed economic development(training for those who want to be entrepreneurs). She and other Mayors met at the White House; while there, a bi-partisan bill was signed for funding for religious organizations' security. Minutes of Regular Meeting 12 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,January 28,2020—7:00 p.m. Mayor Lewellen addressed protocol for Keys to the City; they should be given in a public setting and done through the City. We need to come up with a process and an actual protocol, where Keys are given to residents of the City or former residents who have brought something back for the City. We need to know who Keys to the City are going to. She felt Commissioner James should notify the Commission of Keys to be given out. Commissioner James said there was no notice given for the Keys for Spirit Airlines or for Tropical Acres. All of a sudden there is protocol; she has not been given notice. She is asking the City Attorney if it is legal for her to give a Key to the City. Mayor Lewellen said all of those other keys were either on a program (Tropical Acres) or on an agenda (Spirit Airlines and Gangrel's). Keys are given by the City and usually these things are done through the City. Commissioner James commented she is not saying who she is giving a Key to the City to. City Attorney Ansbro recommended the Commission debate this and come up with a policy. Vice-Mayor Odman said instead of debating this now, although it does make sense for the Commission to have a policy, we should let Commissioner James give the Key, and then set a date to come up with a policy or have a policy presented to us. Mayor Lewellen noted we do not know who the Key is going to; we need to be transparent. Commissioner Brandimarte felt we need a policy. She did not think it was right to give a key to Spirit Airlines. We lost the magic when we gave out so many Keys years ago. Mayor Lewellen said her concern is there is no transparency whatsoever; perhaps it could be included on the program for Saturday night. Commissioner James clarified she has not promised anyone a Key in return for showing up at DAD. She has been excluded from all the discussions; transparency works both ways. She said she does not want to use a vendor she feels is unethical. Mayor Lewellen spoke of the MLK church service on Sunday. 12.

Adjournment Mayor Lewellen adjourned the meeting at 10:20 p.m. ��A BFq ATTEST: QQ' CITY OF DANIA BEA H THOMAS SCHNEIDER, CMC LORI LEWELLEN CITY CLERK 4�Usk Eo'� MAYOR Approved: February 11, 2020 Minutes of Regular Meeting 14 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,January 28,2020—7:00 p.m. (Comments by Vice-Mayor Odman —January 28, 2020 City Commission meeting) Thank you Mayor Lewellen for granting me this point of privilege to address some misinformation that was brought up at our previous Commission meeting on January 14th. I will try to succinctly cover the more egregious of the accusionation brought forward by Mr. George and Mr. Jones and to hopefully bring forward all relevant documents as it relates to those allegations. I would like to preface this by saying that I have had, what I considered a friendship with Mr. George since the summer of 2017. During that time, I proudly supported his creative and historical ambitions both publicly and privately. I found him to be a respectable and talented contributor to the South Broward creative community. So I suppose it is for this reason, his claims were all the more shocking. In March of 2019, City Manager Garcia and I made some minor cosmetic improvements to the city hall atrium and chambers. In doing so, I had removed some older photographs that had been hanging on our walls in the NW conference room. Quick to not miss a thing, residents like Patricia Tyra and Rae Sandler spoke out in disappointment that these meaningful historical photographs had been removed. I responded with action and accountability to my residents and begin the reactivation of the Dania Beach Historical Society. [I am submitting minutes for both the March 26 and May 14th meeting for entry into the public record. ] Originally registered in 1977 by City Attorney Frank Adler as the Dania Historical Society, Mayor Mc Elyay served as the unofficial city historian and the corporation's president until it's dissolution in 1992. In the years following, several residents and other past mayors have served as stewards of Dania Beach History. From personal archives of photographs to published books, the Dania Beach Historical Society continued to contribute at different points as both an informal and legally established entity. [I am submitting both the initial 1977 Dania Historical Society Corporation information and the book entitled, The History of Dania Beach, Florida wherein the Dania Beach Historical Society is cited on page 16 and 28 for entry into the public record.] On February 13, March 13, and April 10, 2018- under the leadership of then Mayor Tamara James, Mr. George came before the commission to request a quote "historical site for NW Dania and Libera to preserve the history of these communities". While the commission, at that time, never took action, Mr. George and I occasionally discussed the worthwhile merits of his vision. During that same period, Mr. George also made a point to meet with former Mayor, Anne Castro, to share his end goal to establish a dedicated black historical site for South Broward. Mr. George has been consistent in this message. At every opportunity, in those conversations I sought the participation of Mr. George to be a part of the Dania Beach Historical Society and he remained (Comments by Vice-Mayor Odman —January 28, 2020 City Commission meeting) steadfast in his assertion that he would continue to focus on his sight for a Historical Society that would remain dedicated to only the black community. Time after time, with praise and respect for his vision, I clearly communicated on the public record and in private conversation that my personal goal was to work on an inclusive Dania Beach Historical Society and Museum that would seek to honor the rich black history of our city along with every other race and ethnicity that laid roots within our municipal boundaries.[I am submitting minutes from the February, March, and April 2018 meetings, the June 25, 2019 meeting, along with the document titled JA Ely Historical Society for entry into the public record.] Recently, on January 12, 2020 the City of Dania Beach held a brunch to honor our past and present city officials. Mr. George expressed his frustration that neither he, nor any other black families were invited to the event. More factually, no families were invited to the event. At the suggestion of Commissioner James at the September 10, 2019 meeting, the commission agreed, without argument, to move forward with the more inclusive structure where each attendee, with the exception of the elected honorees were expected to pay for their tickets. [I am submitting minutes from the September 2019 meeting for entry into the public record.] Mr. George has further claimed that the logo for the Dania Beach Historical Society and Museum was created by his friend and business partner, Richard Dubose. Respectfully, none of his original artwork was used or altered and he was compensated for his time. The final logo was produced by a private company that was kind enough to donate their time and artwork. [I am submitting written acknowledgment from Mr. Dubose pertaining to the artwork and logo for entry into the public record.] Some of the most confusing and disheartening deceptions presented by Mr. George and Mr. Jones centered around the Dania Beach Historical Society Corporation and it's funding. Misappropriation of tax payer money and solicited donations is something that I as an elected official take very seriously. To make myself abundantly clear, any claim that I personally profited from the Dania Beach Historical Society is a lie. All monies collected for the Dania Beach Historical Society and Museum currently remain with the City of Dania Beach. I ensured that now, and in the future, any funds for the Historical Society could only be accessed by the treasurer. To that point, I am submitting a letter of legal opinion from City Attorney Tom Ansboro. In it, he states that, quote " The corporation proceeds from the ticket sales are being processed to be paid to the corporation treasurer Linda Wilson and a bank account is being established for the corporation by her. The Vice Mayor has no ability to access funds related to the corporation and has not done so." [I am submitting the letter of legal opinion from Tom Ansboro dated January 16, 2020 for entry into the public record] (Comments by Vice-Mayor Odman —January 28, 2020 City Commission meeting) I asked the City Attorney to also obtain an independent review of the matter as it pertained to any ethics violations or conflict of interest. It was determined by attorney Robert Meyers, one of the leading experts in the field of florida governance and ethics that in his legal opinion there was no ethical violation or conflict of interest. Mr. Meyers did suggest that I file a report of charitable funding funding activities. Which I did in fact file that form prior to the Dania Beach 115th event. [I am submitting letters of legal opinion from attorney Robert Meyers dated December 11, 2019 and January 15, 2020. 1 am also including the fundraising disclosure form dated December 20, 2019 for entry into the public record.] It is important to note that my title as President Director, is a placeholder that was necessary to establish the legal paperwork to file a corporation in Florida. Each additional member of the corporate board, Clare Frost as Vice President Director, and Linda Wilson as Treasurer were informed when they accepted the position as a corporate officer that they would be holding the position only until the time of the first election when the elected board would then put into place. There was no objection to this by either member and this was all done under the advice and guidance of City Attorney Ansboro. believe that any step off the path of progress presents us the opportunity to examine our process. As my colleagues have also gone above and beyond to serve our community as President and Directors of their own private corporations that receive periodic money and resources from the city, it seems like a serendipitous time to scrutinize how those dollars were spent to be sure that we, as elected officials, are aligned with best practices and are being sensible of the taxpayer dollars. With that in mind, I will be calling for a public workshop to provide an opportunity for the residents to sit with us as we discuss and examine how we can collectively do better while moving forward. In conclusion, I want to thank my colleagues through the Mayor for this time to address the rumors and unfounded speculation that were shared thousands of times over the past 14 days. I made over a half dozen attempts to contact Mr. George directly and through our mutual collegues in the hopes we could turn a story that became quickly divisive into something meaningful, but despite my numerous efforts to reach out he did not respond. Watching my integrity, character, and record of public service being attacked for facebook likes was difficult. Having my family's safety come under attack was terrifying. (Comments by Vice-Mayor Odman —January 28, 2020 City Commission meeting) And yet, I do not worship at the altar of ash. There are no bridges that have been burned from my end. I welcome Mr. George and Mr. Jones to attend the first board meeting of the Dania Beach Historical Society and Museum in February. I continue to extend, as I always have for the past three years, any help or resources I can to assist Mr. George in the realization on his vision for the J.A .Ely historical society. Ultimately, history belongs to no one person; there is no one who can gatekeep the past. Dania Beach history belongs to every single person who lived it...collectively. It is my hope that Mr. George and any resident with interests in our city's history will join me on this journey to honor and preserve the past together. Without ego. Without Hate. Without division.

Commissioner Brandimarte spoke of a meeting she has scheduled for tomorrow regarding the Breast Cancer Awareness event. Patricia Tyra, 2912 SW 54th Street, urged the City to not remove the historical photographs from City Hall. Rae Sandler, 1433 NW 8 Street, felt our historical photos should remain accessible to the public at City Hall or be divided between the library here and the one out west. Vice-Mayor Odman noted the photos would be relocated from the NW Conference Room to an appropriate place to display them; within City Hall, we will have digitalized images of the photographs. 6.

He also addressed recent homeless outreach activity and the upcoming Arts & Seafood Celebration. Sean Brown,Battalion Chief, BSO Fire Rescue, introduced himself to City Manager Garcia. Commissioner Brandimarte questioned inspections for fire extinguishers in Airbnbs. Chief Brown responded they do not have the right to enter the premises according to state law; their hands are tied. Assistant Chief Gregory Holness, BSO Fire Rescue, commented Dania Beach is not the only city having a problem with Airbnbs; these are residential homes and fall under Federal fair housing law. He addressed calls made to traffic accidents on the I-95 corridor on Griffin and Stirling Roads on and off ramps.

Bobbie Grace, 110 NW 81h Avenue, noted she did not get a consensus whether they could use the City logo for the Breast Cancer event or whether the City would donate.

Minutes of Regular Meeting 3 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,June 25,2019—7:00 p.m. 10. Discussion and Possible Action 10.1 Dania Beach 115th Anniversary -Mayor Lewellen Mayor Lewellen noted she has several people lined up who will donate either money or in-kind. She felt we need to have a committee whose membership would consist of a person from each department and the chair of each advisory board or a designee. Vice-Mayor Odman spoke of a gala and a beach component; she questioned whether it would make more sense to just do something on the beach. Mayor Lewellen suggested doing an all-day event, including having an agenda. It could be one major day event instead of having a gala the night before. Vice-Mayor Odman liked the idea of having each of the advisory boards contributing and adding insight. She suggested including the new historical society, and perhaps running the renaming of the City's nickname contest, with the winning name announced at the party. The Commission consensus was to form a committee made up of a member from each department and the chairs of the advisory boards or designees. Mayor Lewellen spoke of sponsorships and in addition, putting aside an amount not-to-exceed $20,000.00 to use for this event. Commissioner James questioned if we have that kind of money for the event and felt $20,000.00 seed money is excessive. The budget year has already been discussed and is expected to be tight. Vice-Mayor Odman stated this would be a day-long festival; she understands Commissioner James' concern, but this would benefit the entire City. She suggested the amount be set at $10,000.00. Mayor Lewellen explained she never said the event would be completely free; it is a not to exceed number. She felt we would not use the full amount, and spoke of reserving entertainment and the possibility of needing the money now; whatever is left over would be returned to the General Fund. This would be a one-time expense for a full benefit to the entire City. Commissioner Harris questioned incorporating the celebration with Dania After Dark (DAD) and making that event bigger. He felt $10-15,000.00 is a reasonable amount and we should include our contacts with the County for an additional donation. The last time the City celebrated an anniversary, we incorporated it into the Broward County 100t'year anniversary. Commissioner Brandimarte agreed with incorporating the celebration into a Dania After Dark event and suggested shuttling people to the beach. Mayor Lewellen noted she was okay with the $15,000.00 amount. Minutes of Regular Meeting 10 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,June 25,2019—7:00 p.m. J.A. Ely Historical Society The J.A. Ely Historical Society would be a Historical Society dedicated to historic black communities in South Broward which would include NW Dania beach(Danie, Liberia, Hallandale, and Carver Ranches). The goal would be to have this Historical Society on J.A. Ely Blvd and would serve as a place for one to see the Historic significance of these neighborhoods as well as offer as a resource center to the community this building is in. There is a few possible locations this place can be on the J.A. Ely corridor,there is an empty lot across from King Store that is owned by a bank that the city can acquire,this land is for commercial and residential usage and can be home to the historical society as well as a key area for small business development. Many people especially millennials and Generation Z do not know the contributions that J.A. Ely has provided for Broward County, many people do not even know who J.A. Ely was. J.A. Ely was the first black principal in Broward County History when he was the principal at a negro colored school which would then be later named Dillard High School. Dillard was named after James Dillard who was a white philanthropist centered around black education. Shortly after J.A. Ely went on to become the Principal of Attucks High School. Mr. Ely also was the first black person to organize a PTA meeting, was the first black probation officer in Broward County as well as the first black person to serve jury duty with an all white jury. The Historical Society can be anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 SQ ft with several rooms serving different purposes. Which would include: • A room dedicated to J.A. Ely, history as to who he was, his accomplishments in Dillard and Attucks. • A room dedicated to Attucks High School honoring its inception from 1936 when it was a grade school that only went to 1 lth grade to its first graduation class from 1952-1968. This room can also recreate how the classrooms looked back during Attucks Renaissance days. • A historic Liberia room with archive photos of Liberia as well as artifacts of the area. • A historic Danie room with archive photos and artifacts • A historic Hallandale with archive photos and artifacts • A historic Carver Ranches with archive photos and artifacts. • Each room would host archive pictures showcasing the community, old buildings that used to be there as well as photos showcasing Pioneers, elders and education(Attucks) • Additional rooms would also include an art gallery, a room dedicated specifically to teach . the local community how to code, and S.T.E.A.M.. and an area for the youth. Many perks from having this history society would include employment. - a place to give these marginalized areas a chance to get into the coding and tech industry. Event spaces ex. Juneteenth and art exhibits, film screenings, etc. Classroom space for summer programs Will also be a boost to the city's cultural tourism economy due to the increase in demand for out of towners to get a real home-grown feeling to this city. The budget from this would come from the city of Dania beach and also possibly getting support from the city of Hollywood since the city of Hollywood has partnered with Dania on several events in the past. Ex. Henry Graham and his work on building college gardens/liberty heights, Tamara James day, as well as the name J.A. Ely Blvd was a joint venture the city of Hollywood and Dania had together. Commissioner James also noted she has heard from people who are upset they will not be invited to the City's 115th Anniversary celebration at Tropical Acres. City Manager Garcia felt the Commission should invite advisory board members and then open up a few tables for people to pay if they would like to attend. Commissioner James referenced a past anniversary event where tickets were purchased versus "'>invitation only in order to make the process fair. Mayor Lewellen agreed with Commissioner James. City Manager Garcia felt it was important we meet with Tropical Acres to get a number from them for the available seating and coming back to open it up to the public. Mayor Lewellen said we need to confirm from Tropical Acres and then figure out where we go from there. Commissioner James suggested creating a City Commission budget line item for $10,000.00 just as the CRA did for the 115th Anniversary. Commissioner James noted she has been working on a STEM Program at the FAU facility, and they want to give the Commission a boat ride and tour of their facilities on October 10. She applied for a grant with FAU as co-applicant for a STEM program in our City. Commissioner Harris commented it would be a wonderful opportunity to show our charity by charging $10.00 for a ticket to the Tropical Acres event and donating the proceeds to hurricane relief. Mayor Lewellen felt the proceeds from the tickets sales should be used for a Dania Beach cause, specifically for a scholarship or Dania Beach event. Vice-Mayor Odman felt the Historical Society could benefit from being tied into the anniversary celebration ticket sales proceeds. Commissioner James commended City Manager Garcia, Assistant City Manager Sosa-Cruz and staff for their leadership and dedication during the hurricane preparation. 11.4 Vice-Mayor Odman Vice-Mayor Odman recognized the City team that came together for hurricane preparations, and noted there are 20 days left for entering into the Rename the City contest. 11.5 Mayor Lewellen Mayor Lewellen thanked City staff for their hard work during preparation for the hurricane.

He dictated the following email to me today for distribution to the Commission. Thank you. ON BEHALF OF TOM ANSBRO: Consistent with City Commission discussions over the past number of months, I provided Vice Mayor Lauren Odman legal guidance and assistance in the creation of a Dania Beach Historical Society and Museum non-profit Florida corporation. Unanimous City Commission support was consistent with the intent to create the corporation and to use ticket sales as discussed below to provide initial funding for the corporation. I obtained an independent ethical opinion from outside counsel to confirm that no conflict of interest would arise if the Vice Mayor, as an elected official,were to serve as an officer of the non-profit corporation to be created. A copy of that opinion addressing that matter and related matters is attached; also attached is a copy of a confirmation ethical opinion provided yesterday as to the absence of a conflict of interest. I enlisted the aid of Tim Ryan's office to help to incorporate the Society as a non-profit corporation under Florida law. Proceeds from ticket sales for the 115th Birthday Celebration were processed through the City while the corporation was being created. The Vice Mayor had also requested Marc La Ferrier to serve as a "placeholder"vice president for the corporation while she tried to find a person who would agree to serve in that capacity as a full time corporate officer. Again,the opinion first mentioned above addressed Marc's temporary service. Marc was recently replaced as a corporate officer and Clare Frost was appointed to service as vice president. The corporation records were amended to confirm that. The corporation proceeds from the ticket sales are being processed to be paid to the corporation treasurer Linda Wilson and a bank account is being established for the corporation by her. The Vice Mayor has no ability to access funds related to the corporation and has not done so.

Tom: Let me do my best to answer your questions. Feel free to call me to follow up. It is not a conflict of interest per se for an elected official and a city employee to serve as officers of a nonprofit organization. If they will be receiving compensation from the nonprofit, it could complicate matters, especially if the organizations plans on seeking grant money from the City. State law allows elected officials to solicit contributions on behalf on nonprofits, provided they or their family members will not receive a personal benefit from such solicitations. This goes back to the question of whether or not their positions with the nonprofits are compensated. Under the Broward ethics ordinance, the Vice-Mayor most likely would have to report the solicitation efforts at last night's Commission meeting unless she is considered an employee of the nonprofit. In my opinion, an officer of a nonprofit is not an employee,which means the Vice Mayor would have to report the charitable fundraising activities. An organization that is seeking 501(c)(3)status can solicit donations and while they are in this transitional phase may solicit donations and the donations would be tax deductible provided the organization has submitted Form 990. Even if Form 990 has been not been filed,the organization can still request donations, but the donor would not be entitled to a tax deduction. Let's discuss at your convenience. Robert From:Ansbro,Tom<tansbro@daniabeachfl.gov> Sent:Wednesday, December 11,2019 12:16 PM To: Robert Meyers<RMevers@wsh-law.com> Cc:Adams, Lori<ladams@daniabeachfl.gov> Subject: Dania Beach Historical Society; Membership Questions; Donations Importance: High Robert, a Florida non-profit corporation was recently created for a Dania Beach Historical Society with a plan to open a museum. It is not a 501 (c)(3) but I believe such a filing is being pursued. One of our Commissioners is identified as the corporation President and one of our Department Directors(Community Development) is listed as the Vice-President. My questions concern whether such persons may serve as officers and if allowable,the laws applicable to avoid conflicts,ethical concerns. I do not know if you would know the answer as to donations but can the entity receive them before qualifying as a 501(c)(3)?The Vice-Mayor announced at last night's Commission meeting that$20.00 tickets are 1 available to attend a 1151h City Birthday event at a local restaurant in January and that proceeds will go to the entity (restaurant is proving brunch).

Tom: You informed me that two of the City's elected officials sit on boards of nonprofit organizations incorporated in the State of Florida. One of your officials is a board member of the Dania Beach Senior Citizens Club, Inc. and the other elected official serves as an officer of the Dania Beach Historical Society and Museum, Inc. State law draws no distinction between these nonprofit agencies when examining the provisions of the ethics code. Moreover, sitting on these boards does not create a conflict of interest for either elected official.

(ORDINANCE#2012-019) G:\Agenda\PUBLIC SPEAKING FORM.doc r Challenges in forecasting Flooding A fundamental problem in forecasting flooding has been the absence of adequate flow records. In his last article for the American Society of Civil Engineers, Professor Ven Te Chow of the University of Illinois reminded fellow engineers that in order to adequately predict a 100 year recurrence interval flow event, one would need 1000 years of hydrograph records (Chow and Takase, 1977). In most instances, project floods are based upon inadequate flow data, extrapolated well beyond the range of scientific certainty and subject to all kinds of flow adjustments, as discussed later. Common factors affecting accuracy of flood predictions Factor Description Antecedent moisture How much rain has already been absorbed by the ground, season-to-date. The more saturated the ground surface,the greater the runoff from any given storm. Landscape watering can also lead to increased levels of antecedent moisture. Localized cells of intense Very intense bursts of moisture in upland areas can cause precipitation localized flooding and destructive debris flows which clog drainage inlets, culverts, etc,which then leads to flooding Duration of storm events The longer storms stall over any given area, the greater the flooding Changes in vegetation Changes in land use(such as grazing)and vegetation will within the watershed lead to changes in the time-to-concentration of runoff to local creeks and rivers. Development of the The more hardened surfaces,such as roofs,walkways, watershed pavements and lined storm drainage channels,the greater the peak runoff. A 400%increase is not unusual,commonly leading to down cutting of unimproved channels Unnatural constriction of The placement of hardened improvements in channels, such flow as culverts,rip rap,retaining walls,or;natural impediments to flow, such as landslides, eroded soil,trees,organic debris and natural storm-laden debris,invariably cause localized hydraulic choking of channels,leading to tail water inundation of previously un-flooded areas Changes in weather Frequency and probability-based flood flow assessments are patterns based upon the assumption that weather patterns are essentially unchanging. Data collected since 1849 would suggest otherwise,weather patterns are always changing. Mistakes in flood plain Whatever can go wrong in routing floods via use of planned management releases from Mood control reservoirs, eventually will. Failure of flood control Despite the best intentions, infrastructure elements, such as infrastructure levees, dam spillways and conduits,can fail, most often during peak usage. Levees are particularly sensitive to duration of flood flow Accuracy of topographic The accuracy of topographic information within the information watershed being studied will exert keen influence on the areas predicted for inundation Accuracy of channel Channel hydraulics assessments are dependent upon estimates roughness estimates of channel roughness, which are highly variable in unimproved channels, and subject to change, depending on frequency and depth of flows Accuracy of input Flour assessments are only as good as the estimates of hydrology precipitation upon which they are based. An array of antecedent moisture levels needs to be evaluated in order to make conservative predictions of floe. Accuracy of the A wide array of computational models exists,the most computational commonly employed being HEC-2,developed by the Army methodology chosen Corps of Engineers. However, flow predictions are built upon the detail and accuracy of input information, such as the number of channel cross sections.
