Vice-Mayor Odman noted the policy had been tweaked as a result of the discussion at the last
meeting.
Minutes of Regular Meeting 7
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday,March 10,2020—7:00 p.m.
City Attorney Ansbro noted changes were made and he would like Commission approval before
finalization. He added the policy will be visible on the screens during Commission meetings and
placed on the header on the agenda.
Commissioner James wanted to change the language prohibiting a person speaking directly to
the Mayor or individual Commissioners to include speaking directly to staff.
City Attorney Ansbro said he would add the phrase to include all staff. He explained the
procedural steps to remove an individual from the Chamber.
Commissioner James questioned whether the Commission could request someone to leave.
City Attorney Ansbro noted he would edit the policy and bring it back for approval.
10.2 Art in Public Places Committee - Commissioner James
Commissioner James said her recommendation for the committee is three members from the
Creative Arts Council Advisory Board, one City Manager appointment, one Community
Development appointment, one Parks and Recreation appointment, and one CRA appointment.
City Attorney Ansbro noted the ordinance currently calls for five members, but it could be
amended to seven members. He asked if the Commission wanted to develop an arts master plan
and recommended getting a master plan consultant.
Vice-Mayor Odman asked Assistant City Manager Sosa-Cruz for clarification on other
successful cities' experiences.
Assistant City Manager Sosa-Cruz explained we reached out to other cities; the key takeaway
was to try to have the committee filled by professional artists. Pompano Beach and Delray
Beach recommended professionals, that being the Broward County Cultural Division. The
membership does not have to be residents or staff, but it would be professionals directed by the
Broward County Cultural Division. The first step is to start the arts master plan, then the plan
would be presented to the committee, and after input from the committee, the Commission would
approve the plan.
Vice-Chair Odman said she likes this process because it is apolitical; this is the best approach.
Commissioner James commented she is okay with the plan; although she never received a
recommendation from the Manager's office, she did receive information from the attorney's
office.
City Attorney Ansbro recommended amending the ordinance to state the Commission will set by
resolution the qualifications of the members.
City Manager Garcia felt we could do a hybrid. She explained, after discussions with
Community Development Director LaFerrier and Commissioner James, she wants to take
Minutes of Regular Meeting g

politics out of this. We do have a professional in Broward County, and she likes the idea of
having individuals from the CACAB in addition to the others who would be appointed. After
Phillip Dunlap and his group looks over the plan, it would get approval from the Commission to
be implemented by the City.
The Commission consensus was to go forward with the plan first and then make the changes to
the ordinance.
City Attorney Ansbro noted the ordinance would be changed to set the members by resolution.
City Manager Garcia confirmed the Commission would be okay with Phillip Dunlap making a
recommendation.
Commissioner Harris spoke about the time being right to move forward on this with community
input, including the residents, Community Development, and the artists.
10.3 Schedule City Commission Summer Break
The Commission consensus was to cancel the first meeting in the months of July and August.
11. Commission Comments
11.1 Commissioner Brandimarte
Commissioner Brandimarte noted she has had phone calls about large RVs being parked near
Publix.
11.2 Commissioner Harris
Commissioner Harris reiterated the art in public places discussion and his pursuit of engaging
with Phil Dunlap.
11.3 Commissioner James
Commissioner James suggested maybe an initiative to get people to sign up for the census would
be a raffle.
Commissioner James noted Hollywood just cancelled their St. Patrick's Day parade, and the
CRA Board cancelled Dania After Dark and the Arts & Seafood Celebration prior to this
meeting.
11.4 Vice-Mayor Odman
Vice-Mayor Odman had no comments.

Parks & Recreation events. She noted the Commission completed the first step of the strategic
master plan; the next step is the 8-hour session.
Discussion of three dates, March 21, 30 and 31 ensued. City Manager Garcia asked if a Sunday
would be acceptable if she can get it. The Commission indicated this was acceptable.
City Manager Garcia reviewed the information included in the agenda packet. She noted we
have applied for and received the APWA Landmark Award, and we have been proactive with
getting information out on the Census. We have already ordered two speed trailers, and are
moving forward with a landscaping master plan. She thanked the Commission for their support
of the demolition of buildings on the Boisey Waiters property. She added a request to activate
the west wing of City Hall for additional space would be brought to the next meeting.
13.2 City Attorney
City Attorney Ansbro spoke of the Governor's executive order declaring a statewide emergency
relating to the Coronavirus. He referenced the draft resolution provided to the Commission and

He explained the purpose of the resolution, which was modeled after what the Broward County
Commission just issued that delegates emergency powers to their County Administrator. He
requested the Commission approve it and noted it would only be used when the Commission
could not meet.
Commissioner James commented she would be uncomfortable with development items in
Section 3.
City Attorney Ansbro explained this would not include zoning items and listed those things the
City Manager could do. He explained the City's efforts to protect public health only function for
mandatory operations items, and the restrictions of the Sunshine Law.
City Manager Garcia noted this mirrors what Broward County did today.
Commissioner James motioned to adopt the Resolution (now numbered R-2020-030)
authorizing emergency powers for the City Manager in connection with COVID-19;
seconded by Commissioner Harris. The motion carried unanimously.
