States Flag.
3. Presentations and Special Event Approvals
3.1 Presentation on the Landscape Master Plan/Griffin Road Component by KCI
Technologies, Inc.
Fernando Rodriguez, Director of Public Services, gave a brief overview of the master plan and
introduced Dan Williams, FDOT District 4 Landscape Architect.
Mr. Williams gave a background on the Griffin Road corridor and planned enhancements, noting
they would be utilizing a push button contract. He turned the presentation over to KCI
Technologies.
Kirk Hoosac, Director of Landscape Architecture, KCI Technologies, Inc., introduced Bruce
Reed, KCI, and James Wang, Senior Designer, and gave a PowerPoint Presentation which is
attached to and incorporated into these minutes.
Vice -Mayor Salvino asked what kind of droppings the trees would produce and about
maintenance. He expressed concern about roots pulling up the asphalt and said he likes how the
trees look but you must consider maintenance.
Mr. Hoosac addressed the tree droppings; in the median, the trees will be pretty much away from
everything. He also addressed the roots of the Oak trees, which are very slow -growing roots. He
does not feel the roots would be a problem as the medians are wide.
Vice -Mayor Salvino felt the Commission should have a choice of which trees are used.
Mayor James noted she had questions about the deciduous trees insofar as maintenance and she
is concerned about the Crepe Myrtle trees. She agreed the Commission should understand the
scope of the project so they can make the best decisions.
Mr. Hoosac noted there are other options available and explained how the initial choices of trees
were made. He said it is good to hear the Commission's feedback.
Commissioner Lewellen expressed concern about the flowering trees losing their flowers and
complaints from residents that the trees look dead.
Mr. Hoosac explained the Crepe Myrtles flower a great deal of the year, depending on the
species and he addressed them losing their leaves.
Commissioner Odman said she favors flowering trees and of course they will change their
fullness; it is inline with how the seasons change. She asked how many of the trees that would
be used are native to Florida.
Mr. Hoosac addressed native and non-native trees, noting half of them would be native.
Commissioner Odman questioned if there would be value in staying with Florida native trees.
Mr. Hoosac said using strictly native would not always look that good.
Commissioner Odman asked the Commission if they wanted to keep all trees native.
City Manager Garcia added we could go all green, but those flowering trees in the fall and spring
would add to the green surroundings. She addressed Vice -Mayor Salvino's concerns and noted
this all must be blessed by FDOT since it is their road.
Further discussion ensued.
Commissioner Davis agreed with using Florida native trees, but if they are not as beautiful, this
is not that important to her. She would like to see all the options, so they look the best and last
the longest. She questioned the push button contract.
Mr. Williams further described the push button contract and how it works and explained the
maintenance agreement which could take four to five months to finalize. FDOT would ask for a
Letter of Intent, and he felt they could start in six months.
Minutes of Hybrid Regular Meeting 2
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, February 22, 2022 — 7:00 p.m.
City Manager Garcia noted staff would investigate whether there are options other than the Oak
tree. Our goal is to plant the right tree in the right spot.
3.2 New employee introductions and promotions - City Manager Garcia
City Manager Garcia thanked all the elected officials and our HR team. She introduced new
managerial employees and those employees who have been promoted:
Daryl McFarlane, IT Department Director
Erin McClendon, Deputy City Clerk
John Quintero, Public Services Engineering
Karla Mercado, Parks & Recreation Program Manager
Darius Williams, Public Services Beam Team Supervisor
3.3 Presentation on American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) - Frank DiPaolo, Director of
Finance
Finance Director DiPaolo provided a brief overview and gave a PowerPoint presentation which
is attached to and incorporated into these minutes.
Mayor James said if she is seeing this properly, all the money has already been budgeted out.
This came out of nowhere and we have not workshopped this. She does not know the ideas of
her colleagues; she would like to explore this further as to what the Commission wants to bring
to the table.
City Manager Garcia noted this is not set in stone; staff has followed the Strategic Master Plan.
We are just plugging in numbers, but it is not set in stone. Staff is asking the Commission to see
if staff can investigate the costs of the actual projects.
Mayor James further questioned the role the Commission has in this budget.
City Manager Garcia said we could pivot; in the next months or so, the Commission could let
administration know what they would like.
Commissioner Davis would like further conversation about this even though what was included
was in the Strategic Plan. She wants to make sure we get all the information; the overall outline
is good, and she would like to hear from her colleagues that we are prioritizing what we want.
Vice -Mayor Salvino asked how much of the Strategic Plan was reflected in the proposed budget.
City Manager Garcia said the majority of it comes from the plan and discussions with the
Commission.
Vice -Mayor Salvino felt the Commission should be given the items back to review and provide
feedback to staff.
Minutes of Hybrid Regular Meeting 3
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, February 22, 2022 — 7:00 p.m.
City Manager Garcia said Finance Director DiPaolo would send the presentation to the
Commission and she asked them to add to the list things they do not see there; after that, we
could have a workshop if needed.
Commissioner Lewellen questioned if there is a way to get what eligible costs are; right now, she
felt we do not have enough information to say what should be taken out or put in.

10. Discussion and Possible Action

health care, IT, and hospitality.

Loving Soles Shoe Drive Drop Box program - Commissioner Lewellen

Minutes of Hybrid Regular Meeting 8
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, February 22, 2022 — 7:00 p.m.
The Commission consensus was to allow the use of the City logo for the Camillus
House/Broward Partnership for the Homeless 2022 Loving Soles Shoe Drive Drop Box program.
10.3 Charitable donations and City Commission discretionary expenditures policy - Frank
DiPaolo, Director of Finance
Finance Director DiPaolo gave an overview of the charitable donations program which was
drafted last fall. We would open the application cycle in October and close it two months later
so that the Commission could award the donations early in the new calendar year. Staff would
vet the applicants and the Commission would choose which organizations would receive the
donation and the amount. He recommends the Commission contingency discretionary accounts
projects be brought to the Commission for approval.
Vice -Mayor Salvino noted he is stuck in the middle with charitable donations; the accountability
and auditing of the funds are important factors. He felt the discretionary accounts worked well
because they accept responsibility for where the money is going.
Mayor James said she would not agree with a surplus because having a non-profit, you are
always in the mode of fundraising, and you might have $50,000.00 in the budget but you might
not have that amount of money in the bank at that time. It may seem surplus, but it will be going
towards programing in the next few months. She wants it to be consistent and she would prefer
that everyone gets the same amount of money. We can continue to not have religious based
organizations; they have non -profits attached that we could give to. She asked about an audited
financial statement.
Finance Director DiPaolo noted they would need a notarized statement from the treasurer.
Mayor James said she wanted Commission approval to give to the Lighthouse for Students from
her discretionary account.
Commissioner Davis noted she had pledged to support them as well.
Mayor James asked how much she was going to give them and said she had planned to give them
$4,000.00.
Commissioner Davis said she was going to give them $2,500.00.
Mayor James noted she would give them $2,500.00 as well for a total of $5,000.00 together.
Mayor James asked for authorization to work with a vendor for the Summer Financial Literacy
program. She mentioned it to Parks & Recreation Director Brown and knows how he feels about
it. She knows it is $7,000.00 for them to provide those services at all three parks for our youth
during the summertime so she is looking for consensus and authorization to work with a vendor.
She asked if there were any issues and there was no response. She asked Finance Director
DiPaolo if he had everything he needed to move forward with these two.
Minutes of Hybrid Regular Meeting 9
Dania Beach City Commission
Tuesday, February 22, 2022 — 7:00 p.m.
