Finance Memorandum
DATE: 9/24/2024
TO: Mayor and Commissioners
FROM: Ana M. Garcia, ICMA-CM, City Manager
VIA: Frank DiPaolo, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: Approval of a Resolution adopting final millage rates for the Fiscal Year beginning
October 1, 2024 and ending September 30, 2025
Request:
The City Administration requests approval of a Resolution adopting the final millage rates for
the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2024 and ending September 30, 2025.
Background:
The City Manager has prepared and submitted to the City Commission an annual report covering
the operation of the City and has set forth in it an estimate of the expenditures and revenues of
the City for the ensuing year beginning October 1, 2024 and ending September 30, 2025. The
City Manager has presented to the City Commission detailed information supporting such
estimates, affording the City Commission a comprehensive understanding of the City
Government for the ensuing period identified above, including expenditures for corresponding
items during the last two fiscal years and increased and decreased demands for the ensuing year
as compared with corresponding appropriations for the last fiscal year.
The City Commission has met and carefully considered the annual report and estimate and has
determined and fixed the amount necessary to carry on the government of the City for the
ensuing year, has prepared a tentative budget setting forth the amounts necessary to be raised for
the various departments of the City, and has appropriated such amounts to the various
departments of the City considering the applicable funds on hand and the estimated departmental
revenues.
The City Commission has determined that in order to produce a sufficient sum to fund the final
proposed budget, it is necessary that an operating millage of 5.9998 be levied against ad valorem
valuation of property subject to taxation in the City and the “rolled back rate” is 5.7147 mills,
and the proposed millage reflects a 4.99% increase over the rolled-back rate. The City
Commission has further determined that, in order to sufficiently fund its debt obligations, the
voted debt service millage rate shall be 0.0985 mills.
Budgetary Impact
Adoption of the following final millage rates will provide the required funding for the operations
Page 8 of 314
and debt service of the City of Dania Beach for the Fiscal Year ending September 30, 2025:
Operating: 5.9998 (no change)
Debt Service: 0.0985 (0.0085 decrease)
Total combined millage levy: 6.0983
This results in a gross combined ad valorem levy of $42,784,577 and net budgeted revenue of
$40,860,000.
Recommendation
Approve the Resolution adopting final millage rates for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1,
2024 and ending September 30, 2025.

INSTRUCTIONS
General Instructions
Each of the following taxing authorities must
complete a DR-420MM-P.
• County
• Municipality
• Special district dependent to a county or
municipality
• County MSTU
• Independent special district, including water
management districts
• Water management district basin
Voting requirements for millages adopted by a
two-thirds or a unanimous vote are based on the
full membership of the governing body, not on
the number of members present at the time of
the vote.
This form calculates the maximum tax levy for
2021 allowed under s. 200.065(5), F.S. Counties
and municipalities, including dependent special
districts and MSTUs, which adopt a tax levy at the
final hearing higher than allowed under s.
200.065, F.S., may be subject to the loss of their
half-cent sales tax distribution.
DR-420MM-P shows the preliminary maximum
millages and taxes levied based on your
proposed adoption vote. Each taxing authority
must complete, sign, and submit this form to
their property appraiser with their completed
DR-420, Certification of Taxable Value.
The vote at the final hearing and the resulting
maximum may change. After the final hearing,
each taxing authority will file a final Form
DR-420MM, Maximum Millage Levy Calculation
Final Disclosure, with Form DR-487, Certification
of Compliance, with the Department of Revenue.
Specific tax year references in this form are
updated each year by the Department.
Line Instructions
Lines 5-10
Only taxing authorities that levied a 2020 millage rate less
than their maximum majority vote rate must complete these
lines. The adjusted rolled-back rate on Line 10 is the rate
that would have been levied if the maximum vote rate for
2020 had been adopted. If these lines are completed, enter
the adjusted rate on Line 11.
Line 12
This line is entered by the Department of Revenue. The
same adjustment factor is used statewide by all taxing
authorities. It is based on the change in per capita Florida
personal income (s. 200.001(8)(i), F.S.), which Florida Law
requires the Office of Economic and Demographic Research
to report each year.
Lines 13 and 14
Millage rates are the maximum that could be levied with a
majority or two-thirds vote of the full membership of the
governing body. With a unanimous vote of the full
membership (three-fourths vote of the full membership if
the governing body has nine or more members) or a
referendum, the maximum millage rate that can be levied is
the taxing authority’s statutory or constitutional cap.
Line 16
Check the box for the minimum vote necessary at the final
hearing to levy your adopted millage rate.
Line 17
Enter the millage rate indicated by the box checked in Line
16. If the proposed millage rate is equal to or less than the
majority vote maximum millage rate, enter the majority vote
maximum. If a two-thirds vote, a unanimous vote, or a
referendum is required, enter the proposed millage rate. For
a millage requiring more than a majority vote, the proposed
millage rate must be entered on Line 17, rather than the
maximum rate, so that the comparisons on Lines 21 through
25 are accurate.

Board FY 2024-2025
Transitioning to a Sustainable Future
The Solid Waste Disposal and Recyclable Materials Processing Authority of Broward
County, Florida ( Broward SWA) presents its budget for fiscal year 2024-2025. This
presentation outlines our status as we work toward transitioning to a sustainable system
that demonstrates our commitment to protecting public health, safety, and welfare.
TS
Presented by Todd Storti
Page 25 of 314
Introduction and Overview
Mission Statement
To protect the long-term public health, safety,
and welfare of the residents of the Municipal
Parties and County, the Parties commit to
working together collaboratively through the
creation of an independent legal entity, the
purpose of which is to develop and implement
a long-term, environmentally sustainable,
transparent, innovative, and economically
efficient plan and approach to disposal,
reduction, recycling, and reuse of waste
generated in Broward County.
Goals of the Authority
The Authority will (a) encourage recycling,
reduction, and reuse, in order to divert
Authority Solid Waste from landfills, seeking to
ultimately reach zero waste, (b) support
regional solutions with other counties with
priority being given to the needs and goals of
the Parties, (c) conduct comprehensive public
education campaigns, and (d) engage in
and/or support research and development into
disposal, reduction, recycling, reuse, and
utilization of the latest technology to create a
sustainable and resilient Authority Solid Waste
disposal and Recyclable Materials processing
system.
2 Page 26 of 314
Current Operations
The existing system focuses on waste collection, recycling, and landfill
management. While cost-effective, the current system does not adequately address
long-term sustainability goals.
Cost Efficiency
Current State of Waste Management
The current system has been optimized for cost savings, but it falls short in reducing
overall waste generation and maximizing recycling rates. Opportunities for
improvement exist in waste reduction and recycling enhancements.
3 Page 27 of 314
Resource Management
Analyze implementing new technologies and systems to reduce waste. This includes
advanced sorting facilities equipped with robotics and AI for efficient waste
separation and processing. We will also introduce comprehensive recycling and
composting programs, expanding access to these services and encouraging
community participation through education and outreach initiatives.
Best Value
Reducing Waste will require new infrastructure and technologies. These are
necessary for long-term sustainability. These upgrades will enable us to reduce
reliance on landfills, minimize environmental impact, and contribute to a cleaner and
healthier Broward County.
Expected Outcomes
Expected outcomes include reduced landfill use, leading to a decrease in greenhouse
gas emissions and a more sustainable waste management system. By maximizing
recycling and composting, we will also conserve valuable resources, promoting a
circular economy approach to waste management. This will not only benefit the
environment, but also create economic opportunities through the development of
new industries and businesses in the waste management sector.

Challenges & Considerations
Financial Challenges OperationalConsiderations
Transitioning to a reduce-waste system requires the
implementation of standardized services across the
community. This transition will necessitate a significant
shift in public behavior, as well as substantial
infrastructure upgrades to support new waste
management practices. Additionally, continuous
monitoring and evaluation will be essential to ensure the
system’s effectiveness and to make adjustments as
needed.
9
Implementing a reduce-waste system involves significant
financial challenges, including high initial investments,
increased operational costs, and the need for extensive
public education. Revenue uncertainty and the complexities
of managing public-private partnerships also add to the
financial considerations. Ensuring long-term sustainability
requires careful planning and balancing of short-term costs
with long-term benefits.

Summary
The shift to a reduced waste system is critical for
ensuring long-term sustainability. However, achieving
this will require a more comprehensive integration
than the current system allows. To succeed, the
Authority must actively engage the community in
supporting this transition. Embracing a reduced
waste approach is not just necessary—it is essential
for our sustainable future.
Call to Action
Support from the board and the public is vital to
implementing these initiatives and achieving our
reduced waste goals. The proposed budget is
designed to support and advance this critical
objective.

From: Ana M. Garcia, ICMA-CM, City Manager
Subject: Manager’s Report
On Tuesday, September 17th, I attended a workshop held by the Broward County Public School
Board, the Superintendent and his senior team. The key topic of concern hence my attendance was
the conversation of repurposing/ closing of schools such as our Olsen Middle School. I spoke
about our investment at the school in excess of $5 million dollars for a beautiful track and
multipurpose field and the possibility to partner with Olsen to design and repurpose some of their
unused space for our future EOC, and a possible magnet school for sports/ fitness, broadcasting/
communications, meteorology, etc. Olsen is thriving under the leadership of Principal Giancarli,
still hovering at 600 students, however the constant threat of closure can and will affect students/
teachers, enrollment etc. It’s extremely important that we attend, and support Olsen at
the September 30th Community Meeting held at South Broward High at 1901 N. Federal Highway in
Hollywood. Olsen is at the epicenter of a growing City, a City that we anticipate will grow by more
than 10,000 residents in the next couple of years and together via “outside the box” thinking and a
viable partnership, the conversation/ rumors about closing Olsen Middle School should cease and
we will continue to urge the leadership of Broward County Schools to come to the table as we will
offer solutions and an effective game plan that would be a win-win for the school, the City and our
students.
Several of the school board members commended Dania Beach for the example we are setting and
stepping up in the best possible way! Dr. Zeman, an at-large member of the school board, stated as
he spoke to the Superintendent and his Team; “You need to speak more to Ana Garcia, to the City
Managers, to the Mayors and Commissioners of those cities, they have information that we don’t
have”. I became more familiar with key players, and they became more familiar with me as well. I
also met our new School Board Member Maura Bulman, who I will be meeting with on September
26th here at City Hall, so she is very much prepared for the meeting on the 30th.
We are set for our 2nd annual Oktoberfest scheduled for Saturday, October 12th, as we kick off the
fun, exciting and successful Dania After Dark series. We have pre-sold 350 tickets for this very
much anticipated event! Our Special Events Division of Parks and Recreation continues to elevate
the program and provide additional opportunities to enhance the overall experience!
Page 39 of 314
On Thursday, September 26th at 4:30 p.m., at 434 SE 3rd Street, we will officially hold a
groundbreaking event to commemorate the commencement of the long-awaited SE Drainage
Project. This $30 million dollar investment is the largest investment ever in the history of Dania
Beach.
I want to highlight the great work of the Community Development Team under the leadership of
Director Norena, Deputy Director Lajoie with the viable support of Deputy City Manager Sosa-Cruz.
In August, the building division reviewed and issued 255 building permits and conducted 1,601
inspections. Our Code Division received 3 noise complaints in August, 2 were unfounded and 1 of
the 3 resulted in a citation. We continue to monitor complaints even if unfounded.
I’m grateful to our Deputy City Manager for stepping in for me at the Commission meeting while I
attend the ICMA in Pittsburgh. Kudos to All Directors, Deputies, Managers, etc. who have worked
tirelessly and very strategically with our CFO, the Finance Team, and the Office of the City Manager
to plan for, prepare and deliver another impactful budget that will continue to revolutionize our City
and move us into the future proactively and effectively.

In addition to the popular massage and acupuncture services, this session featured a new activity to get in
some extra steps: line dancing! It was a great way for team members to get moving and release some stress.
The participants had a lot of fun, and we are planning to incorporate line dancing into Wellness event,
scheduled for January 30, 2025 at IT Parker.

Human Resources Memorandum
DATE: 9/24/2024
TO: Mayor and Commissioners
FROM: Ana M. Garcia, ICMA-CM, City Manager
VIA: Linda Gonzalez, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, Chief Human Resources Officer
SUBJECT: FY 2024-25 General Liability and other Comprehensive Insurance Coverage
Request:
The City Administration requests adoption of a Resolution authorizing the renewal of our fully-
insured General Liability and other Comprehensive Insurance Coverage for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
The City’s insurance broker, Risk Management Associates, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Brown & Brown, Inc. (“B&B”), has provided a comprehensive insurance renewal package for
FY 2024-25. Coverage includes several insurance policies which are detailed on the Premium
Comparison attachment.
Background:
Property Appraisal completed
In order to maintain proper insurance coverage, and due to the increase in property value trends,
Brown & Brown assisted with a property appraisal service this year, at no charge to the City. The
appraisal service includes valuation trending and onsite appraisal services every 5 years to ensure
current valuation of the City’s assets. In the past few years, construction costs have increased
dramatically due to the high level of inflation, supply chain issues, and other economic factors.
Increasing construction costs directly affects Property insurance due to the changing/increased
costs to repair or rebuild City assets following insured losses such as the April 2023 flash floods,
fire, lightning, hurricane, etc. As outlined below, our property value has increased by $8.7
million dollars, which resulted in a change in premium of $126,437.
Below is an overview of historical property trending and the 2024 Property Appraisal process:
• The City’s last property appraisal was performed in 2019
• The City trended values by 7.79% in 2023
• The City approved the appraisal with impact as follows:
Current Total Insurable Value (TIV): $56,207,506
Appraised Values: $64,922,993
Difference in TIV: $8,715,487- 16% increase
Change in Premium - $126,437 (including increase to flood insurance policies)
Page 100 of 314
• Other new assets added during the year comprised an approximately 2% increase in
values (including miscellaneous Parks additions and mobile offices at Beach)
Growth Within The City
The City’s growth resulted in increased risk exposures utilized to calculate policy premiums as
follows:
• 26% increase in value of equipment (including mobile generators, license plate readers,
etc.)
• 40% increase in value of vehicle fleet (including 2 ambulances)
• 14% increase in number of vehicles
• 7% increase in number of employees
• 11.76% increase in estimated payroll for FY 2024/25 (which includes cost of living
increases and new positions
Value Added Services with Brown & Brown
B&B has been a trusted insurance partner to the City for several years. Through the insurance
program, B&B provides ongoing Risk Management support, intended to control claim activity
and transfer risk and the specific services provided by the B&B Team are as follows:
• 4-star rating from Stewardship Report for value and savings associated with TIPS Safety
Grant program, Vector Solutions and Streamery online training platforms, Risk
Management Resource Center (HR/Cyber/ADA Compliance), and Property Appraisal;
$35,394 value
• Director of Loss Control providing direct support for safety and loss control objectives -
including participation in and support of Safety Committee.
• Claims Advocacy for liability, workers compensation, and property claims – specifically
facilitated immediate response and daily involvement with mitigation and repairs
following the April 2023 flooding.
• Quarterly Claims Reviews
• Participation in Quarterly Safety Meetings
• Direct training of City Staff in areas such as: claims, cyber breach response, vendor
insurance requirements.
• COI Compliance Team - Daily Certification of Insurance (COI) reviews and Operational
contract insurance recommendations for new contracts. Due to the continued growth in
the City, a team of professionals is engaged to assist with effective contractual risk
transfer processes and procedures to align with the City’s Insurance Policy. Training has
been conducted over several sessions with all City Departments to ensure compliance.
The City’s Safety Committee has utilized these and other resources to maintain a “best in class”
status in risk management and safety objectives.
In summary, the City Administration recommends renewal of the insurance program and
continuance of the relationship with Brown and Brown.
What is this and what is the dollar amount $35,394? Is that the value of all of these services?
See the Stewardship Report which details, and can be attached to the Agenda at your decision.

Budgetary Impact
Due to the increase in property values, the general insurance market, and growth within the City
and property, the City’s FY 2024-25 insurance cost will increase by $327,113 or 17.14%, for
total premium of $2,234,707. This amount is within the planned, budgeted cost.
Recommendation
Adopt the Resolution authorizing the renewal of fully-insured General Liability and other
Comprehensive Insurance Coverage for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
