Call to Order/Roll Call Mayor James called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Present: Mayor: Vice -Mayor: Commissioners: City Manager: City Attorney: City Clerk: Tamara James Marco A. Salvino, Sr. Joyce L. Davis Lori Lewellen Lauren Odman Ana M. Garcia, ICMA-CM Thomas Ansbro Thomas Schneider 2. Moment of Silence and Pledge of Allegiance Mayor James called for a moment of silence followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States Flag. 3. Presentations and Special Event Approvals 3.1 Tamara James Foundation Thanksgiving Drive - requested by Mayor James Mayor James presented a short video of the Tamara James Foundation Thanksgiving Drive, and thanked BSO and Fire Rescue, Public Services, and the administration. She noted they were able to give out 1,000 turkeys and food baskets to the needy. 3.2 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding and eligible uses/projects presentation by Government Services Group. Inc. Chris Polischuck, Senior Advisor, Government Services Group, Inc. gave a PowerPoint presentation, which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. Mayor James referenced the item for the utilities program and noted the County had this, but the timeline was short and application process was difficult for some residents to adhere to the guidelines and paperwork. She asked Finance Director DiPaolo how much of a deficit we have with our utilities. Finance Director DiPaolo responded when he last checked, it was in the high 20 percent compared to our baseline of 9-10% before COVID. Mayor James asked if it is something that is like that, if he would recommend that we not utilize it even if we earmark some money and wait for a period to see if they could utilize the County's funding. Mr. Polischuck explained that in other South Florida governments there are existing programs granted but some residents have trouble accessing the programs in a timely manner and they are choosing to use some of the ARPA money for that. It is an eligible use, and we would just make sure the duplication of benefits does not become a problem. Finance Director DiPaolo said his recommendation regarding the utility payment assistance program is that if we can use some of the ARPA money to start our own public awareness program, then we could facilitate and help residents who are having trouble with the paperwork for assistance from the County. If we could make a strong effort to try to utilize and leverage the money that is out there from the County and then if that money dries up, we can investigate our own campaign with the funding. Mr. Polischuck noted that the communication program would likely be an eligible use of the ARPA funds. 3.3 NW 1 st Street Bridge Public Art Mural Presentation by CACAB/Candido Sosa-Cruz, Deputy City Manager Deputy City Manager Sosa-Cruz gave a PowerPoint presentation, which is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. He introduced Marcos Conde, finalist A and Skyler Nador, finalist B, who made presentations utilizing the same PowerPoint presentation. Mr. Conde presented his concept for the art mural. Commissioner Odman asked what the plan is for maintenance of the artwork from wear and tear two, three or four years out. Mr. Conde noted at the end of painting the mural, they add a clear coat that lasts a long time and is created for outdoor murals. Mayor James questioned if coating could be applied to combat graffiti. Mr. Conde explained that the anti -graffiti clear coat would be more expensive, and he has not had any graffiti problems in the past with his murals in Dania Beach. Commissioner Davis asked about the detail of the mural. Mr. Conde described his other artwork in Dania Beach and hopes he can create something beautiful for the City. Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 2 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. Ms. Nador presented her concept for the art mural. Mayor James asked that whoever we go with that the mural be graffiti -proof and include our logo on either design. Assistant City Manager Sosa-Cruz noted the CACAB wanted the Commission to select the finalist, either A or B. Commissioner Davis chose A. Commissioner Lewellen chose B. Commissioner Odman chose A. Vice -Mayor Salvino chose B. Mayor James chose A. The majority of the Commission selected finalist A, Marcos Conde. Vice -Mayor Salvino said the designs were great on both and asked if it was possible to take the other design and have it put at the new Griffin Road bridge by the airport. He suggested that it be brought up at the next meeting. 3.4 Special Event request from Marina84 Sports Bar & Grill to host a recurring "Marina84 Bike Night" to be held at 2440 West State Road 84 every Wednesday beginning January 5, 2022 through December 28, 2022 from 5:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. (Community Development) Commissioner Lewellen motioned to approve the Special Event request for Marina84 Bike Night; seconded by Vice -Mayor Salvino. The motion carried unanimously. 3.5 Special Event request from the Florida Recreation & Parks Association (FRPA) for the 2022 SE FRPA Turf Rodeo to be held at P.J. Meli Park & Aquatic Complex on Thursday, March 24, 2022 from 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. (Parks & Recreation) Commissioner Lewellen motioned to approve the Special Event request for the 2022 SE FRPA Turf Rodeo; seconded by Vice -Mayor Salvino. The motion carried unanimously. 3.6 Amendment to the Special Event request from the City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to host "Dania After Dark" on December 4, 2021, and on the second Saturday of each month in 2022, up to and including November 12, 2022 from 5:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. (Community Development) Commissioner Lewellen noted she must abstain from voting as she owns a business in this area; however, she is allowed to participate in the discussion. Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 3 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. Mayor James asked if the other business involved in this amendment are coming out to sell during Dania After Dark and if that is going to impact the other vendors who are paying the event producer to participate. Michael Chen, CRA Director, stated that the change before the Commission is to include the adjacent local businesses to allow them to participate within the event. They have advised the production manager of this change and he did not have any problems with that. Mayor James questioned if the other businesses named in the amendment are coming to sell at Dania After Dark and if they are going to be a vendor like the rest of the participants. She asked if everyone would be under the same umbrella to follow the same set of rules at Dania After Dark. Director Chen clarified they are not vendors to the event but are participants in the event. Mayor James asked if the businesses would be covered under the production company insurance or if this will be something separate outside of the vendors we have there. Director Chen said we will have to make sure that is covered, and we will work with our Risk Manager as to what would be appropriate. If it requires an umbrella policy for the participating local businesses, then that is what we will require. Mayor James asked if the event application must be changed or amended. Director Chen responded no. Mayor James asked what businesses have expressed interest in participating in Dania After Dark. Director Chen noted he does not know of businesses that have expressed that interest, but this puts us in the position to proactively reach out and see if we can get more of the local businesses to engage with the event. The idea of this is to promote our local businesses as well as the event. Mayor James added she wants to make sure we are working with the local businesses but also wants to be sure we are not competing with Dania After Dark. Director Chen explained the event manager was part of the discussion for the amendment and he raised no issues other than wanting to make sure the insurance coverage was appropriate based on the Risk Manager's assessment. Vice -Mayor Salvino said he is confused as he saw Jerry from the ice cream store and Artesanos out back of their property and he thought the CRA was to incorporate our local businesses. The Dello has a bar, and Artesano and Grampa's Bakery both have a restaurant. Earlier this year, we talked about extending Dania After Dark down the street. He does not understand why we would not incorporate every business that wants to be involved and what it has to do with risk management if people are going to be open for business anyway and they are self -insured. It has Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 4 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. no bearing on Dania after Dark. These businesses exist in Dania Beach and are paying their rent and taxes and he does not know why it is an issue. He questioned who put it on the agenda. Mayor James said it was not her amendment. Deputy City Manager Sosa-Cruz explained it was a combination of departments; the CRA and Community Development. The purpose was so it is clear as it was not clear in the site plan and the original permit whether the businesses could participate with outdoor seating. We agree Dania After Dark is to enhance the businesses and promote the downtown corridor. We wanted it to be clear that the businesses on First Avenue could participate, and we also extended it from Stirling Road to Dania Beach Boulevard. It is more of making it clear to everyone and to notify the businesses that they can participate or that we are welcoming them to participate. If approved, it is clear to everyone the businesses are encouraged to join. Mayor James said a couple of years ago, Art in the Hall had wine and the event producer had a concern that it was impacting his sales of alcohol. The lines got blurred when we have businesses now that are operating without a special event permit or without a permit to sell alcohol on the outside. There has not been one alcohol vendor other than the centralized location where everyone goes to the bar unless attendees go inside of another business which operates the way it normally operates. Vice -Mayor Salvino commented he thought the CRA was there to expand businesses and make it easier for businesses to grow. He is with what the Commission wants. Commissioner Odman asked why we would not invite the new businesses to join as vendors. Deputy City Manager Sosa-Cruz said the main streets to several of the businesses are closed starting at 3:00 p.m. so they are limited to what they can do. Businesses are required to get a BTR. That requirement is a specific license that allows them to sell, and they pay the City revenue for that. The food truck comes in for a couple hours and are not required to have a BTR but are to become a vendor under a similar criterion. Asking a business to now become a vendor is like asking them to get a second license when they are already paying taxes, BTR and for inspections. Commissioner Odman questioned what the issue was about selling alcohol, whether it was that it was outside and if it is illegal. Deputy City Manager Sosa-Cruz stated he did not know what the issue was. Mayor James said the business that was selling alcohol outside did not have a permit, so yes it was illegal and went against code. She recalls the CACAB and the issues with a few bottles of wine. She wants to be consistent and fair. If one business can sit outside and sell alcohol, she wants to be consistent and fair to them all and everyone is abiding by the same set of rules. Commissioner Odman asked if that is something we can do. Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 5 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. Deputy City Manager Sosa-Cruz explained the reason for amending the site plan was so that it was clear to everyone, the businesses and the vendors. There are private businesses that are already part of this site plan. It was understood to some of us that the businesses in the site plan could continue operating and were encouraged to participate in the event, like they do in other cities. The businesses open their doors, place chairs and tables, and whatever they serve inside they serve outdoors because they are participating in this event. When staff spoke to Director Chen about any issues or hurdles as far as the production manager and alcohol sales, he stated the production manager had an agreement with the vendors on who could sell alcohol but that did not preclude the businesses that are abutting First Avenue to sell what they normally sell outdoors. Commissioner Odman questioned if we could allow the vendors to sell alcohol. Deputy City Manager Sosa-Cruz noted that is already happening. Everyone that was approved by the production manager, which he believes is one vendor and the businesses abutting First Avenue. Commissioner Odman asked whether other vendors wanting to sell alcohol could ask to sell it. Deputy City Manager Sosa-Cruz responded that is between the production manager and the vendors; they have an agreement. Commissioner Odman said she understands how that would be unfair and asked if it could not be an easy fix. Deputy City Manager Sosa-Cruz noted that Director Chen met with the production manager after the event, and everyone was very happy. Director Chen confirmed what Deputy City Manager Sosa-Cruz stated. Director Chen explained the contract is set up for the production manager to control his vendors; he does not have the authority over the businesses. We will get with him to coordinate and collaborate with the businesses. He is very reasonable and understands how the event functions and if he sees issues, we will discuss them with him and the businesses involved. He was fully engaged because he drafted the revised site plan and knows the consequences of what we are talking about here. Commissioner Davis motioned to approve the Amendment to the Special Event request for Dania After Dark; seconded by Vice -Mayor Salvino. The motion failed on the following 2- 2 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Davis Yes Commissioner Lewellen Abstained Commissioner Odman No Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. Vice -Mayor Salvino Yes Mayor James No Deputy City Manager Sosa-Cruz commented he knows Director Chen said previously that the goal was to expand the event, allowing additional businesses. If the vote remains 2-2, it dies, and no business will be able to participate. Mayor James said she had a long conversation with Director Chen, the City Manager and Community Development Director Norena, and they discussed all the other businesses and most of them were not going to participate. Vice -Mayor Salvino commented he thinks this was moot and now we are forcing all the businesses to apply for a special event permit, and it would be odd if we have five apply and one gets turned away from the event. He is surprised and disappointed in the vote and feels it is a slap in the face to businesses in Dania Beach. He felt the two no votes should reconsider that we are doing this for the betterment of the City. Commissioner Davis said at the end of the day, we are here to support and expand Dania After Dark to include everyone. She would like to see us support the small businesses in Dania Beach. She thought the amendment would clarify everything for everyone who did not understand. She does not think this should be a closed case and we are smart enough to be able to support small businesses as well as Dania After Dark and the vendors that come with it. Commissioner Lewellen commented this is clearly about her business; they did everything legal and within their license. The unfortunate thing is they complemented the event as there were people coming specifically to the restaurant and they encouraged them to check out the event. She felt this is somewhat of a personal issue and unfortunately, this is going to affect other businesses. There are several places that could benefit from this. The issue with Art in Hall was that they were not licensed to serve wine and they were handing it out inside City Hall and there were concerns with liability. Her business has a license to serve wine and beer, which is what they were doing. Mayor James said this was not a personal attack; she wants things to be fair and consistent. She is speaking about the businesses on the amendment only and wants to make sure we are fair. She agrees we can come together and come back with something that is consistent and fair for everyone involved in the event. Commissioner Lewellen noted it cost her business money because Saturday night is their busiest night and shutting down the road and parking lot causes an issue. All the vendors used their trash dumpster causing a very full dumpster that had nothing to do with her business. It ends up costing money in the long run and they do not mind doing it if they can work with it, and she believes it was a complement to the event as a whole. Commissioner Odman commented she was out of the loop; she could tell it was something with the alcohol. She did not know Commissioner Lewellen owned Artesano and felt her questions would have been different. She did not understand why we did not talk about it and wished someone would have said what the real issue was. She has a whole host of other questions now. Mayor James asked if this changes Commissioner Odman's vote. Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 7 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. Commissioner Odman said everyone did strange things. Vice -Mayor Salvino asked if we can reopen it again. Mayor James said we have a large agenda, and we are not going to stay on this. We can bring this back with something that is fair and consistent. Commissioner Odman noted she would like to bring it back at the next meeting. Mayor James commented the problem with bringing it back at the first meeting in January is it would not allow Commissioner Lewellen to serve and sell alcohol outside at the January event. City Manager Garcia said it is very important that we continue to have our words and our actions aligned, a global view of not just Dania After Dark today but Dania After Dark in the future. We are going from First Avenue to Dania Beach Boulevard with a goal to go from Stirling Road to where the Fish Grill is, to not only retain existing businesses but to recruit future businesses. She noted on a Saturday night we are shutting down the parking lot of local businesses that are still recovering from the pandemic, that are here 365 days of the year and are paying a BTR, and questioned why we would want to hurt them by not accommodating them and letting them participate in Dania After Dark. City Manager Garcia added she would hope to see the Dello participate and maybe have an outdoor bar with high tops. Perhaps in the future, Grampa's can help and the antique shops of today could be little caf6s and art shops. We are that City with a vision, and we want to continue to think outside of the box. We need to put ourselves in other people's shoes. She does not see where it makes sense to hurt an existing business rather than collaborate with them and have them participate in Dania After Dark, especially during these challenging times and in the future. We have limited outdoor dining and limited outdoor places where people can enjoy a beer or a glass of wine; if we can partner with local businesses, it is a win -win for everyone. Commissioner Odman asked if she took back her vote if we could bring something back to vote on at the next meeting. City Manager Garcia said yes, but it would prevent participation from the businesses in January. Mayor James noted it means to go outside of their normal function; we are not saying the businesses must be closed. City Manager Garcia commented we are shutting down their parking lot for use on Saturday night. Mayor James said we are still shutting down the parking lot and she does not understand how we have a Commissioner who has said she does not want us to use the parking lot but in turn wants to sit outside and serve alcohol to be a part of the event. Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. City Manager Garcia noted we have been able to relocate those food trucks to other areas. Mayor James said the original site plan had that area for food trucks; the updated site plan removed them as the Commissioner did not want them on her property. Instead, there were wooden barrels leading up to a table that was serving alcohol. Either you want to be a part of the event or not. Director Chen commented the issue of the food trucks capacity for the event has nothing to do with any of the parking lots. The food trucks can be lined up and down the street. The reason that there were not more food trucks is that the event producer could not bring more to the event. There were two more spaces that were marked for food trucks, but he could not get them there. Commissioner Lewellen noted they lease the parking lot; the issue with the food trucks is that if you add them to the lot, you are blocking the access to and from the business and that is illegal. The last time this event took place, the business was not open yet. When they did open, they were not open all night on Saturday night until midnight; it is a different set of circumstances. If you are going to put a bunch of large trucks in front of the entranceway to a location, you are just trying to harm the business. It is a Saturday night, the busiest night of the week and then to ask them to pay more money for special event permits, additional trash pick-up or whatever else comes along with it, is harmful. If other businesses are aware they can do this, she is sure some of them may want to participate. Commissioner Odman said she understands the consequences that the businesses cannot do something next month. She would like something brought back that allows the businesses to do something with alcohol so that everyone is in compliance. As it is now, she is going to keep her vote the same. 4. Proclamations There were no proclamations at this meeting. 5. Citizen Comments Linda Wilson, 1 St Vice President of Friends of the Dania Beach Library, announced they are holding a reorganization meeting of the Dania Beach Historical Society and Museum at WMODA on January 1 Ph from 4:30 p.m. — 6:30 p.m. She would like to find out what happened to funds from the 115th celebration and wants to know the status of the charitable funds grants, the timeline, and the new regulations. She also spoke of the crosswalk painting proposals and addressed how they could be done; it would be wonderful to expand it to the neighborhoods. Igal Hatanian, 6911 SW 36th Terrace, thanked City staff for everything they have done to make him a proud resident in Dania Beach. He spoke about the oak hammock overlay ordinance and noted some people are scared to do anything with their trees as they do not understand the Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 9 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021— 7:00 p.m. ordinance. He suggested the City hire an arborist who would take care of the trees in the community. Sarit Lev-Tov, 5960 SW 37th Terrace, said she agreed with Mr. Hatanian in that everyone is afraid of touching or coming close to the trees. Everyone should have clarity on what they can do with trimming the trees. Elias Bichachi, 5910 SW 37th Avenue, commented it is an easy process to call the arborist about trimming the trees and spoke in support of the tree ordinance. Stephanie Jofe, 5880 SW 37th Terrace, spoke on behalf of numerous neighbors who support the tree overlay district ordinance. 6. Public Safety Reports Captain Daniel Marks, BSO Chief of Police, noted he would start sharing the 240 Report, which is the Dania Pointe zone, and reported on recent criminal activity there and in the City in general. He gave updates on the traffic unit, commercial vehicle enforcement, homeless outreach, and 225 SW 15th Street. Captain Sergio Pellecer, BSO District Fire Chief, gave an update on departmental activities including Fire Suppression Month inspections, Fire Rescue public education, officer development program, call volumes in November, and the Fire Fighters' Toy Drive held on November 26th and 27th at Dania Pointe. 7.

(Finance) City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Resolution #2021-190. Commissioner Davis said she pulled this item because during the last presentation on this program, she had questions about documentation and ensuring this was an evidence -based program. She was told that the Commission would be provided with the evaluations given during the fifth week of the program to demonstrate that the program was working. She said the Mayor requested a testimonial. The pre/post tests are to allow us to get the perspective from the children and the employers. The Vice -Mayor and City Manager wanted to ensure the kids were placed in Dania Beach businesses to the furthest extent possible. She has no problem supporting or funding this, but we do not have the documentation yet. She suggested we hold off on this item until we receive the documentation. She noted she called Ms. King and left her a detailed message and she has not heard from her since. Mayor James commented she did have one young lady come in and speak. She did have a conversation and Ms. King said she tries to place the kids at businesses in Dania Beach and if not, it would be in the surrounding businesses. She also had a conversation with the City Manager and stated maybe we could look to see if we would want to open up job opportunities for the summer. This is still in the works. The priority of ours is to make sure these students are placed in Dania Beach. Commissioner Davis explained the documentation she is seeking; the 5tn week evaluation and pre and post tests on the 6th week of the program as this gives us written documentation that the program was successful. Mayor James said she would speak with Ms. King to get the documentation; we need to get our brand/logo on the printed materials. Commissioner Davis noted her issue is this was in August, and it is now December; she is not comfortable moving forward with this now. Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 13 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. Commissioner Davis motioned to wait until the documentation is received prior to moving forward with funding the $50,000 under Resolution #2021-190; seconded by Commissioner Lewellen.

(Parks & Recreation) Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 14 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021— 7:00 p.m. City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Resolution #2021-195. Vice -Mayor Salvino asked if we are raking it up now or burying it. City Manager Garcia responded burying it. Eric Brown, Director of Parks & Recreation, explained the company that would have removed the seaweed did not bid during the re -bid process. Removing it is an extra cost and he will follow up with Beach Raker to ensure that plastic is not being buried. We have reached out to other cities to see what they are doing. Commissioner Davis noted we are spending over $100,000 and they are not doing a good job; we are not getting the service that our beach deserves and she has a problem with doing this for another two years. Parks & Recreation Director Brown explained that is what we did by re -opening the second time when we went out to bid. The language we put in the bid the second time was for the removal of the seaweed. We will meet with our contractor to make sure we are doing best practices. Mayor James asked if there is a way to do away with the contract if we are not happy with the service. City Manager Garcia said it is very important that we put them on notice that we are okay with burying seaweed, but not okay with burying plastic and fishing line. We could have our City Attorney add that language to the contract that we must be mutually satisfied. Mayor James asked City Attorney Ansbro if that is language that we could add. City Attorney Ansbro responded yes; we could add that but the company does not know about it yet so we would have to negotiate with them. Parks & Recreation Director Brown said it is time sensitive and he will get with the City Attorney tomorrow to add that language. City Attorney Ansbro noted it would be good to know what it would cost to have it removed. City Manager Garcia clarified we do not have a problem with burying the seaweed; we just do not want them burying plastics and things that are detrimental to the environment. Vice -Mayor Salvino asked if there are not many companies out there. Parks & Recreation Director Brown responded he knows of three. Hollywood uses Beach Raker, but some municipalities rake the beach themselves through their Public Services Department.

Assistant Director of Community Development Lajoie responded no and explained the governor has been issuing executive orders that allow for extensions for hurricanes, Zika, COVID, etc., and a lot of developers utilize that. This provision would ask that they not do that and instead follow the land development code. Mayor James questioned if this is something we can have moving forward.

Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 21 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. 9.11 RESOLUTION #2021-198 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE SITE PLAN (SP-035-20), VARIANCE (VA-055-20), AND DESIGN VARIATION (OT-054-20) SUBMITTED BY GREENSPOON MARDER, LLP, ON BEHALF OF PRH-DANIA BEACH, LLC, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 901 E. DANIA BEACH BOULEVARD IN THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, AS LEGALLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT "A", A COPY OF WHICH IS ATTACHED TO AND INCORPORATED INTO TO THIS RESOLUTION; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (Community Development) City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Resolution #2021-198 and Resolution #2021-199 as they relate to the same property. He advised these items were quasi-judicial hearings and swore -in those who would speak as they came forward. He asked the Commission to disclose any communication they had on these matters. Richard Lorber, Planning & Zoning Manager, gave an overview of the site plan, design variation, and plat requests for Parkview Place. He noted the applicant had withdrawn the variance request and the resolution would be amended to remove it. Mayor James asked what the traffic would do to streets other than Dania Beach Boulevard. There will be at least 530 parking spaces for 355 residences, and she does not agree with the number of parking spaces. She has been to other complexes with problems with parking. She has seen it at Saratoga and The Place at Dania Beach and wants to know the plan to stop giving 1.5 parking spaces and asked if it is the norm for all south Florida. Planning & Zoning Manager Lorber said this meets the parking requirements; there is no reduction like there was at Saratoga and pointed out there is a bus stop in the front. Dennis Mele, Greenspoon Marder, representing the applicant, addressed the location of the site, stacking of cars onsite, and parking. He noted the variance has been removed and described the onsite-parking garage. Commissioner Davis said traffic is a huge thing for her; it truly changes the lives of the residents. She asked when a traffic study is done whether it is done on the current situation or whether it includes other developments that are not online yet. Our beach gets shut down all the time for being overcrowded. Attorney Mele explained how traffic studies are conducted; they add in what is going to be there in the future as well as the current situation, then add their own project. Commissioner Lewellen asked if the units are part of the old RAC units sitting out there or are new ones. Attorney Mele responded this application has been in the works since 2020. Commissioner Lewellen asked if the lot to the east is owned by the same developer. Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 22 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. Attorney Mele said no. Commissioner Lewellen questioned the reserve areas. Attorney Mele addressed the locations of the reserve areas and clearing the tier one items; the tier two items are included as conditions of approval in the resolution. Infrastructure items have been cleared in the tier one items. Commissioner Lewellen said the residents are not wrong being concerned with all the rental units coming in and it is not just the traffic concerns. She is concerned about a 14-story building and asked if it has to be that many stories. Attorney Mele addressed preserving the reserve areas and the limitations on spreading out on this site. He noted they are not right next to any neighbors and all access is out of and into Dania Beach Boulevard; no side streets are involved. He reiterated they are not asking for any variances. Mayor James noted the project looks great and is pleasing to the eye. Once we set the precedent and changed the code, development of this type ensued. She is as concerned as anyone about traffic as it impacts all of us and our quality of life. Mayor James opened the Public Hearings. Stephanie Jofe, 5880 SW 37 h Terrace, said it makes her sad as this causes a domino effect with the loss of trees. Attorney Mele noted they are meeting all the City's landscaping requirements and had extra review by the Broward County Environmental Department, so he assures all requirements have been met. Seeing as there was no one else to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor James closed the Public Hearings. Vice -Mayor Salvino motioned to adopt Resolution #2021-198 as amended; seconded by Commissioner Lewellen. On Roll Call vote: Commissioner Davis No Vice -Mayor Salvino Yes Commissioner Lewellen Yes Commissioner Odman No Mayor James said she would like to continue this item as she has not had a chance to speak with the developer and we have not heard from the community. Attorney Mele noted if the motion does not pass, the statute requires a statement be made for the reason for denial. The developer is not asking for variances, and they are meeting the code, so he is not sure what the basis for denial would be. Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 23 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. Vice -Mayor Salvino commented we are in a position today that was created years ago. We cannot be afraid to follow the rule; the codes were made. If we tell them no, we are going to be sued. He got this from the City Attorney many years with the Calm Project; anytime we turn down a project that has met the requirements, we are subject to a lawsuit. Mayor James said she dislikes being told we will be sued. They would probably just sue us for change over the decision, and not necessarily for money. She asked Commissioners Davis and Odman why they voted no. Commissioner Odman explained her concerns about our development are far reaching; infrastructure, traffic, and environment. Most projects she supported addressed the environmental impact to the area or the entire City. There have been developers that specialize in that sort of thing to lessen their environmental impact to the area. Attorney Mele noted in the staff reports, it shows they have met the environmental, traffic and tree preservation requirements. The applicant has met all the City's requirements. Commissioner Odman said it is a conflict with her because she was not here when the rules were put into place. We are in a predicament where we feel we must push projects through that meet the legal requirements but do not meet the requirements that we feel should be in place for the City. Commissioner Davis agreed that is her struggle; she was not here when the codes were changed. Meeting the requirements is one thing, but the quality of life is something else. She wants to avoid Dania Beach becoming a high-rise community. She has to listen to her residents and to her gut feeling. For her, it is the speed of it; it is too fast, and it is bothering her consciously because she was not here to change those codes. It is the concern of the residents. She knows because she sees it and hears about it every day. Attorney Mele reiterated they complied with what they were asked to do. Assistant City Attorney Boutsis noted the Commission has every right to re-evaluate their ordinances. Her concern here is that there is a record where staff and Planning & Zoning is recommending approval but there is no testimony that what was imposed is being violated. If there is a true concern, then maybe look at getting a moratorium for future projects. Mayor James said what we all are hearing from the residents is that it is scary and concerning and she gets that. That was her concern with going back to the County for more units to build. If we want to do something about the amount of development coming, we should change the code. This person is building what they purchased the property for. The community has not shown up and that is what she makes her decisions based on. Mayor James voted yes. The motion carried 3-2. 9.12 RESOLUTION #2021-199 Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 24 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE "ADLER" PLAT (PL-034-20) SUBMITTED BY GREENSPOON MARDER, LLP , ON BEHALF OF PRH-DANIA BEACH, LLC FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 901 E.

(Community Development) Vice -Mayor Salvino motioned to adopt Resolution #2021-199; seconded by Commissioner Lewellen. The motion carried on the following 3-2 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Davis No Commissioner Lewellen Yes Commissioner Odman No Vice -Mayor Salvino Yes Mayor James Yes Vice -Mayor Salvino felt some of the projects that the Commission has approved that have not come up out of the ground are liable to a change of the zoning codes. Whatever is out there now, let us finish those but he would rather see us stop it at this point where we can. We are at a maximum now and we have to change the code. Commissioner Odman agreed and asked the City Manager to put an item, moratorium on development, on the January agenda for discussion and possible action. She said we may need to workshop this and questioned what we want to do about it. Every time this comes up, we should have that consistency if the expectations are met of the City, that the developer and their project will be able to go through. Let us discuss changing the code. The item could be under her name or Vice -Mayor Salvino's name. Let us have this conversation so we are not going through this every time for the next year. 10. Discussion and Possible Action There were no items on this agenda. 11. Commission Comments 11.1 Commissioner Davis Commissioner Davis noted she attended the City's holiday events and thanked the entire Parks & Recreation team.

She looks forward to bringing the contract for this project on January 25th City Manager Garcia reported we received some great news from Francisco Rojo with the City Place project directly behind the City Hall garage. This is a very exciting project and we supported them with a loan. This is affordable housing and will help with the inventory, addressing all the needs in our community. City Manager Garcia noted out of more than 60 cities in Dade and Broward County, we are only one of five where both the City Manager and Deputy City Manager are both credentialed certified professional managers recognized by the International City Managers Association. We are committed to developing our team and she wished everyone happy holidays and a remarkable 2022. 13.2 City Attorney City Attorney Ansbro said he has been with the City since January of 1998. In that time, we have only had three court challenges to the hundreds of land use, zoning, and development decisions. All three trial courts ruled in the City's favor. One case involving the Casino's development agreement is on appeal. Of the hundreds of ordinances, none have ever been challenged in the courts. Of the hundreds of bids, request for proposals and other similar solicitations over that period, we had two bid protests, and both were decided by the City Commission in the City's favor and none of them or any solicitations were ever challenged in court. City Attorney Ansbro noted of the hundreds of contracts and agreements to which the City has been a party over those years, none have ever been disputed in a court. Of the hundreds of construction, engineering, architectural and other capital project contracts processed by the City over all those years, none have ever resulted in a court dispute. He said he thinks he has done a pretty decent job with the help of a lot of people to protect us. He appreciates the opportunity to have served; it has been an honor and a pleasure. He wished Assistant City Attorney Boutsis all the best, wished the City continued progress, and thanked everyone. 13.3 City Clerk - Reminders Tuesday, January 11, 2022 - 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, January 11, 2022 - 7:00 p.m. Thursday, January 13, 2022 - 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, January 25, 2022 - 7:00 p.m. Minutes of Virtual Regular Meeting 27 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday, December 14, 2021 — 7:00 p.m. CRA Board Meeting City Commission Meeting CRA Board Workshop - Board Priorities City Commission Meeting 14.
