New Horizons

Fellow residents,

Thank you for taking an interest in our City by reading this edition of New Horizons. This publication is filled with great information as we head into the spring season.

As I write this column, it has been just two months since Valentine’s Day, when 34 school children and their teachers fell victim to a horrific mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in the nearby City of Parkland. Such sorrow, frustration and resolve have fallen upon our community following this tragedy.

Sorrow for the victims and their families, including two Hollywood families who were directly impacted by this tragic and senseless event. The family of Alex Schachter, may peace be upon him, is from Hollywood. Alex’s father, Max, grew up in Hollywood and one of his grandparents still lives in our City. Coach Chris Hixon, may he rest in peace, lived in Hollywood. Chris’ wife, Debbi, and family live here in Hollywood, where Debbi is a teacher at South Broward High School. The sorrow we feel for the families of the victims of this shooting is immense, as is our frustration.

Frustration that the legislative and public safety measures that have been employed to date have proven to be horribly insufficient to effectively protect our students and teachers while they are at school. After so many school shootings, state and federal lawmakers have yet to enact tougher public safety legislation to prevent high velocity assault rifles from getting into the wrong hands. Many schools are still not better protected, even in view of the obvious need for better security protocols and infrastructure. The questions and failures cannot be more serious, but this time, the resolve to put an end to failures cannot be avoided.

The resolve of our citizenry, led by the Stoneman Douglas students and families themselves, will not yield to the ordinary political paralysis that has left our communities at risk. Continuing legislative action is demanded. At the state level, there are already results with the very important, albeit imperfect, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act which, among other things, prevents rifles from being sold to persons under 21 (same as the minimum age for purchasing hand guns and alcohol) and enables law enforcement to obtain an order from a judge that allows guns to be removed from the custody of those who are a threat to themselves or others. At the federal level, far reaching legislation is demanded as well. Same from our local school district, which has the primary local responsibility of ensuring that our schools are as safe as can be.

Be sure that in Hollywood, our local government shares the resolve for better protected schools and a better protected community. The months ahead will yield many reports and findings. Please stay engaged and informed.

Hoping everyone can find joy and peace in the spring season.

This issue’s cover features a spectacular

aerial view of the ArtsPark at Young Circle

at dusk. There’s always something going on at the ArtsPark. Check out the Spring Program Guide beginning on

page 11 and make plans to spend some time at this beautiful

10-acre park at US1 and Hollywood Boulevard in Downtown

Hollywood.

In response to the recent events at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the City of Hollywood Youth Ambassador’s hosted “Hollywood Happy Day” on Monday, March 26th at the ArtsPark at Young Circle Amphitheater in Downtown Hollywood. The Ambassadors goal was to promote the power of community through expressions of gratitude, friendship and joy. Leading by example, the Ambassadors hope to start a movement by offering a simple smile, handshake or good deed in an effort to make strangers feel appreciated and make a small difference in someone’s life. Ambassadors understand the importance of daily acts of kindness and the impact they can have in the community as a whole. By joining together, the group brought attention to the concept of strength and progress through unity and positivity.

The City Commission has also recently passed two resolutions to promote safety in our schools:

RESOLUTION NO. R-2018-064 PASSED 02.22.2018 – This resolution urged the Florida legislature to strengthen the requirements to obtain guns and completely ban assault weapons except for law enforcement; enact legislation to require stronger comprehensive background checks for

every firearm application and sale; raise the age for the legal purchase of firearms, magazines and ammunition to 21; and pass legislation that would keep military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines away from our schools.

RESOLUTION NO. R-2018-110 PASSED 04.04.2018 – This resolution urged all private schools within the city’s boundaries, as well as all non-private and charter schools regulated by the school board of Broward County, to hire full time school resource officers or other appropriate security personnel for the safety and security of their students.

The time is now and now being the time for all eligible young voters to register and vote on November 6th. Make a difference while the iron is hot! Other voting items this November include changes to the City Charter (akin to the US Constitution) and a possible General Obligation Bond designed to satisfy much needed city-wide initiatives. Be informed and get involved. Most importantly, exercise your right to VOTE!

Contact me at [email protected] and copy Commission Assistant, Jill Lavaniegos-Diaz who will keep me informed at [email protected].

News from District 1Making Our Schools SafeVice Mayor Debra Case

One of my colleagues shared an email from a new resident, very upset and angry to find that her property taxes were over $7,000, when she and her husband expected them to be about $2,500. Looking up the history on the BCPA website confirmed our thought that the previous owner had a Homestead Exemption, and that the value of the property upon sale was based on the new assessed value. This young couple feared they would not be able to keep their home.

My unanswered questions were: did the realtor explain how taxes are determine and project what the assessment might be on this property? As closing, was this part of the conversation?

If the answers were “no,” we can all understand the shock of having the mortgage statement showing taxes increasing from $200 to $600 a month. Most of us are on a budget, either a serious one committed to paper or one store in our memory bank. An increase of this magnitude not only negatively affects cash flow, but it easily can wipe out personal finances should

some disaster strike: roof repair, A/C breaks down, etc.

As any homeowner knows, the mountain of paperwork to be signed at closing can be terrifying. We sign while a banker or lawyer drones on about what we are signing. All the buyer wants to do is get out of there. As the very least, the PPI (principle, interest, and taxes) should be highlighted, in bold type, for the benefit of the buyer.

Finally, it would be easy for my colleague and me to wash our hands and respond to the email “don’t blame me – we don’t set property values.” As it is, about all we can do is suggest that the family review the contract they had with the realtor or seller, and all the closing documents to see if there was any failure to communicate and if there is a remedy on behalf of the seller or realtor.

As it is, both of us were heartsick about this. Sadly it will happen again.

As we approach the summer months many of us start to look for ways to do the traditional “Spring Cleaning.” Some neighbors clean out their closets and storage areas and put unwanted items to the curb for bulk pick up, while others donate to one of the many local or national charities like Miami Rescue Mission, Salvation Army or The Vietnam Veterans of America (pickupplease.org). Some of you may have noticed clothing recycling bins popping up in some areas. This company recently made a deal with Hollywood to allow the bins, based on their mission, to reduce usable clothing entering our landfills. As the flowers start to bloom, many also look for ways to improve the curb appeal to their house by planting new flowers, bushes and trees. Over the last decade the City of Hollywood has tried different programs to encourage residents to fix up their houses. Some of you may remember the Great Neighborhood Challenge and the sequel that suggested ways to get our residents to spruce up their homes for prizes, hoping that it would be contagious and more people would get

the “Spring Fever.” This worked to some extent, as 100’s of homes throughout the City got a makeover, from fresh flowers and landscaping to new sod. Others pressure cleaned their sidewalks and driveways, and many applied a fresh coat of paint. I would like to challenge residents to plant some native trees and flowers (http://floridayards.org/fyplants/), create a certified wildlife habitat or butterfly garden (https://www.nwf.org/certify) – not because the City is going to give away cool prizes, but because of the feeling you get when you come home from a hard day at work and see your beautiful yard, or the way it makes you feel when friends, neighbors and family members come over for the many summer BBQ’s and say “WOW, I like what you did with your yard.” I am always available to address your concerns, by whatever means is easier for you: cell phone - 954.997.6450, email - [email protected], facebook - www.facebook.com/commbiederman or twitter - @HwdBiederman.

News from District 5Spring CleaningCommissioner Kevin Biederman

Spring is here, that means this is the time to make sure your hurricane essentials are in working order; generators should be started and run for a while, your important papers should be placed in a secure water tight container, trees properly trimmed, etc.

Let’s talk civic activism and traffic. The beach residents’ got involved early on when A1A was being redesigned by the Beach District of the Community Redevelopment Agency or CRA to have wider sidewalks and one through lane in each direction with a turning lane in the median that included landscaped areas. They opposed it and fought against what they believed would be a dangerous road design. Currently, A1A is under construction from Hollywood Blvd. to Sheridan St. with one lane in each direction and a turning median lane. The situation is so potentially dangerous to traffic and pedestrians traversing the area that the 4th of July celebration on the Beach is a real concern. My hats off to Mr. Bob Glickman and all of the Beach residents who were involved in making sure that A1A remains two lanes of traffic in each direction, otherwise this condition could have been permanent!

Hollywood Boulevard and 28th Ave. are experiencing more traffic than ever, during peak hours if you are heading east from I-95, it is unbearable. Everyone who is going north on 28th creates a back up in the turning lane on Hollywood Boulevard that stretches past I-95, and everyone going south backs up the right turn lane past I-95. Only the center lanes are available, and only one because the other lanes are stopped from the traffic going to the schools in the area. The proliferation of schools in the surrounding neighborhood generates an unbelievable amount of traffic during pick up and dismissal times. I’m wondering if that is the reason the intersection of 28th Ave. and Hollywood Blvd. has become the worst intersection on Hollywood Blvd. – 78 accidents in total during 2017. We need to strive for and achieve a safer way to school.

The 2018 mid-term election is quickly approaching and with it a host of ballot questions that, for the most part, are difficult to read and almost impossible to understand. Please take the time to read and choose carefully. As always you can email me at [email protected] or call 954.921. 3321.

News from District 2Civic Activism and Traffic Commissioner Peter Hernandez

Almost 6 years ago, I found myself taking on the role as your District 3 Commissioner. Goals were set and a promise of honesty and being your voice was made. Simple concerns were expressed you, the residents: I want a better sense community. We need smart, safe growth and welcoming new businesses. Safety and crime concerns were at an all-time high. Communication with city officials and transparency was a desired need, along with addressing infrastructure concerns, providing better public schools and youth involvement activities, and last but not least, code and traffic concerns. Today, I find that some of the concerns are still on the horizon, but many issues have been addressed and improved. Our real estate market continues to grow and Hollywood is moving forward. Unfortunately, our green space has a taste for desired developers. We must be smart, active, and remain involved to protect and guide the future of Hollywood. Being informed and educating yourself is everyone’s responsibility. The General Obligation Bond is the talk of our town. I encourage you to ask questions,

get involved and come to the table with solutions and open minds so a productive, positive choice can be made. We are moving and shaking and come November you can be a part of Hollywood’s success. Great resources are available: Civic association meetings, which are held monthly; City of Hollywood’s webpage; and communicating with your City Commissioners. Nothing is perfect, but making improvements to keep our City of Hollywood safe and productive is everyone’s decision. I will continue to be your voice and remain true and honest. As I’ve quoted in the past, I believe that there is no greater gift than the gift of service to others. It takes a village and Hollywood is a great village to be a part of. Congratulations to all 2018 graduating high school seniors. Special thank you to the graduating Hollywood Youth Ambassadors Amanda, Geo, Jason and Tyrese. Please have a safe summer. See something, say something. Get involved.

We look around our world and recognize that our daily life begins in a nearly 30 square mile piece of land called Hollywood. We work hard and sometimes we have time to recognize the good and maybe the not so good things that go on in our City. At times, we quietly or not so quietly complain about what could and should be better about Hollywood. Some residents living in the eastern portions feel neglected because although they have much larger homes and pay higher property taxes, they have major flooding from king tides and heavy rains. Where sea walls exist, they are too low or deteriorating and saltwater seeps up through the ground. The people in the central areas of the City experience more crime, no community center, unkempt property standards, houses expanded without permits, recreation fields like Rotary Park experiencing flooding. Some residents in the west feel as if they are adopted step children. Their streets have not been paved in 30 years. There are very few sidewalks, if any at all, and very poor lighting making it very dangerous to even attempt to take an evening walk. All around the City where sidewalks exist, they are broken. Two City-owned Golf Courses are in

very bad shape, one actually had its clubhouse roof fall in, and playgrounds all around the City need grass and play equipment repaired. If you have had a 911 emergency lately and were transported to the hospital by one of the City’s ambulances, you probably heard and felt the rattling age of that vehicle.

We may not notice all of this with our lives so busy, but all of this is very real and very much in need of attention. So how is this solved when a city does not have enough money on a yearly basis for all of the above to be repaired or replaced? One way cities fund improvements is through a General Obligation Bond which requires voter approval and that is what Hollywood is considering. A 150 million dollar bond would put a large dent in getting most of the items listed above solved. For me, it will cost about $65 a year. The cost for the average homeowner with an assessed value of $165,000 would be about $104 per year. The goal of this is to have our City of Hollywood be a safer, well cared for City. One where even on our busiest and most tired day we would be happy to look around our 30 square mile piece of land and smile with pride.

News from District 6A 30 SQUARE MILE PIECE OF LANDCommissioner Linda Sherwood

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has awarded a $199,400 contract to AUM Construction, Inc. for improvements to lighting on Stirling Road at I-95 from west of SW 19 Court to SW 18 Court in Hollywood and Dania Beach. The project will include the addition of 11 light poles and luminaries installed on both sides of Stirling Road, an upgrade to the pedestrian crosswalk signal near the on-ramp to northbound I-95 and the installation of upgraded “pedestrian crossing” and “signal ahead” signs.

Construction is underway and is scheduled to be completed this fall. During construction, one lane of Stirling Road from SW 19 Court to SW 18 Court may be temporarily closed. No lane closures will be allowed on Stirling Road between 6 and 9 a.m. or between 4:30 and 8:30 p.m. Overnight closures of the on-ramps from Stirling Road to both northbound and southbound I-95 and the off-ramp from northbound I-95 to Stirling Road are expected for a few hours between 11:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday evenings.

For additional project information and updates, please contact Mrs. Dayana Diaz, FDOT Community Outreach Specialist at 954.940.7585 or [email protected] or Mr. Tim Butler, FDOT Construction Project Administrator, at 954.958.7646.

Hard Rock International Headquarters Headed to Hollywood

South Florida’s premier LASIK and Laser Vision Correction Specialists, Braverman Eye Center, has chosen Hollywood for their newest Laser Vision Center. Now located at 1050 N. Federal Highway, board certified ophthalmologist Dr. Stanley Braverman has brought his broad certified team and talent to serve the eye needs of the community.

In addition to ophthalmologist Dr. Braverman, who

specializes in Refractive Cataract and LASIK Laser Vision Correction Surgery, surgical care is also provided by several other doctors specializing in various types of surgery.

Cataract or LASIK consultations or general eye appointments can be scheduled by calling the Braverman Eye Center at 954.458.2112. For more information, visit www.bravermaneyecenter.com.

This spring, Hard Rock International’s headquarters is slated to move operations from Orlando to Hollywood, home of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The new headquarters will be located at 5701 Stirling Road in Hollywood according to Hard Rock International Chairman Jim Allen. “Although some Orlando employees have accepted our relocation offer, there will be jobs available at the Hollywood location. We’re always looking

to hire people to fill the hundreds of positions open at our facilities,” he said.

The Seminole Tribe bought the Hard Rock hotel and casino chain in 2007 and has been implementing efficiencies since for a more effective global company. Hard Rock hotels, casinos and cafes now operate in 74 countries and include 177 cafes, 24 hotels and 11 casinos, plus Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood is undergoing a $1.5 billion expansion that includes a 450-foot-tall, guitar-shaped hotel scheduled to open in mid-2019. The new tower will add 638 rooms and suites to the Seminole Hard Rock’s accommodation offerings, and another lower-level building inside the new development also will offer more rooms, for a total of more than 1,300 units. The billion-dollar expansion includes the demolition of the 5,500-seat Hard Rock Live entertainment venue to make way for the larger, $100 million Hard Rock Live with 7,000 seats, also scheduled to open in mid-2019. The casino will also be doubled in size to offer 3,267 slot machines and 178 table games such as blackjack and baccarat.

Dear Residents,

One of the most important aspects of managing a city government is presenting and maintaining a balanced municipal budget. This includes ensuring that funding is available to provide for critical public safety services such as police and fire protection and emergency medical response; daily necessities like water and sewer services; and maintenance of vital infrastructure such as streets, sidewalks and lighting. It also includes the upkeep of parks and recreational facilities used by the public and all the facilities needed to provide government services. Of course, governments are service organizations and typically City governments spend more than a third of their budget to pay for the employees who either directly provide or support the provision of public services.

Each year as the City of Hollywood prepares its budget for the following year, a fiscal retreat is held with the City Commission in the early spring. Our annual retreat took place on April 11th and is available to watch on the City’s website, www.hollywoodfl.org. Budget staff present projections of anticipated revenues and expected expenditures. Commission members have an opportunity to discuss initiatives they believe should receive funding or areas in which money may be able to be saved.

From there, each Department and Office of the City works with the Budget Division to develop a proposed budget for their operations for the upcoming fiscal year. By July 1st, the Broward County Property Appraiser, provides municipalities the final taxable valuation for property located within the City, an important aspect of determining how much money the City can expect from property taxes.

Before the budget is finalized, state law requires a specific schedule for notifying taxpayers of the proposed property tax rate, also known as millage rate, and the opportunity for the public to provide comments on the proposed budget during required budget hearings held in September.

For residents interested in the City’s finances and seeking information on how their tax dollars are being spent, the City’s Financial Services Department, along with Information Technology and our Communications team, recently completed an update to the Open Government portion of the City’s website www.hollywoodfl.org. By clicking on the Open Government button on the homepage, you can access dynamic reports of various City financial information including:

• Breakdown of the city’s budget including revenues sources and expenses • A comparison of budgeted expenditures and actual expenditures• Trends in property tax revenues

We are hoping this gives our residents and business owners a different and more user-friendly opportunity to review City financial data. You can also see interactive reports of the City’s taxable value trends by neighborhood since fiscal year 2014.

In Hollywood, we have been able to hold the line on tax rate increases and maintain the same millage rate for the past seven years. This is due to the strong growth in the City’s tax base and steady efforts to reduce cost increase in areas such as employee and retiree health care. We are now exploring a General Obligation or GO Bond to fund needed improvements to our City streets, alleys and sidewalks; upgrades to our parks and recreational facilities; and new equipment and facilities for Fire/Rescue and Police.

I hope you will all check out the valuable new financial features on the City’s website and plan to learn more about our General Obligation Bond initiative. We want to provide our residents the information they need to feel informed and be able to engage in the future of the City. As we upgrade the City’s financial reporting systems through our comprehensive ERP project, this portal will become an even better resource for real time City financial data. We recognize, the involvement of residents and business owners is a key part of creating a vibrant and sustainable community.

Federal and state grants are essential resources that help fund a variety of programs and assistance to residents. In recognition of this crucial funding resource, Hollywood’s Mayor and City Commissioners issue a proclamation annually in support of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program and the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program, and recognizing National Community Development Week, April 2 – April 6, 2018.

Struggling Family Works For a Better LifeKevin and his family moved to Hollywood

three years ago from Colombia. Starting from scratch and looking for employment, the family enrolled in Hispanic Unity of Florida’s Center for Working Families (CWF) Program. While Kevin was earning his college degree, the family’s income was not enough to cover basic necessities. CWF coaches assisted Kevin with his resume and interviewing skills. After attending a job fair and interviews with

AutoNation, Kevin was hired as a Sales Associate. He started work in January and has an opportunity for great earning potential once he completes training. Women in Distress Helps Young ChildTami*, a Child and Family Therapist with Women in Distress, talks about an experience with a mom who was getting reports of behavior issues from her son’s daycare about his behavior problems. While her son did not witness the physical domestic violence, he did see the other abuse his mother experienced at the hands of his father. After several therapy sessions, Tami was able to build trust with the child and understand his anger, fear and confusion. Through continued therapy, Tami has been able to help the child and reports improved behavior. *Name changed to preserve the staffer’s identity.

Seniors Benefit by Helping ChildrenAurora Oliphant has volunteered for five years as a Foster Grandparent at the South Florida Institute on Aging and logged more than 5,321 volunteer hours. Aurora currently volunteers at Driftwood Elementary in Ms. Gonzalez’s third-grade class. CDBG funds have supported the Foster Grandparent Program by providing 24 foster grandparent volunteers over the past five years who have tutored 165 Hollywood children attending Title I elementary schools. The

program also benefits the volunteers by keeping them healthy, active and connected to the community, their peers and our younger generation. A “Hand Up” in Turning Lives AroundSteve was a successful chiropractor with his own practice and consulting business. All of the pressures of his businesses took a toll on Steve and he turned to substance misuse. After losing his C h i r o p r a c t i c License, he sought treatment for his addiction and depression. During his recovery, Steve decided to pursue his life-long passion to become a chef and enrolled in the Culinary Arts Program at Atlantic Technical College. His tuition was covered by a grant and Second Chance Society purchased text books and other needed essentials. Today, Steve is at the top of his class, has been selected for a nationwide chef competition and is currently working at a local restaurant. CDBG funds provided by the City of Hollywood are an integral part of Second Chance Society’s programming that helped to get Steve back on track.

Family Offered Hope After Devastating Medical IssuesA series of car accidents and subsequent medical issues cast a family into a downward spiral that led to foreclosure and life in a shelter. Thanks to Hope South Florida and their “LIVE (Living Independently Via Employment) Hope” Program, Farrah was given the opportunity to connect with an employer. After seeing how hard she worked, Farrah was promoted to the front office and after only one month to the position of Night Supervisor overseeing two hotels. Through the support of the City of Hollywood and organizations such as Hope South Florida Farrah and her husband are working on improving their lives.

These success stories are tangible examples of how grant funds available through the City of Hollywood enabled recipients to change their lives for the better. During National Community Development Week, join the City‘s “Make Your Voice Heard Campaign” and email your federal and state elected representatives to let them know you support continued funding for these programs. Visit the City’s website at hollywoodfl.org and search “housing programs” for program details, links to email your state and federal representatives and to view a sample letter. For more information contact Donna Biederman, Community Development Coordinator, at [email protected] or 954. 921.3271.

The Greater Hollywood Chamber of Commerce recently hosted “Sunday in the Park, a Taste of Hollywood” at ArtsPark at Young Circle in Downtown Hollywood. The event featured food, wine, a craft beer garden, art, music, vintage bike show and business expo. The Muzart Kidz Korner was a popular stop where kids took part in cooking lessons, face painting and other fun activities. Hollywood’s First Lady, Jackie Levy hosted a Garden Brunch and more than 100 local businesses participated.

Chapter 97 of the City Code of Ordinance references littering. Within the existing code, 97.05 prohibits the use of polystyrene plastics by establishments located east of the Intracoastal Waterway that sell food intended for consumption off premises. Beginning October 1, 2018 the City’s Code Compliance Division will begin strict enforcement of the existing Ordinance banning the use of polystyrene plastic by businesses located on the Barrier Island.

Polystyrene is one of the cheapest, most widely used plastics, with several million tons per year used in the production of bottles, lids, disposable cutlery, straws and clamshell containers. Due to the largely negative environmental impacts and the hazards it poses, more

and more cities are joining the ban on polystyrene within city limits.

The City of Hollywood is encouraging barrier island business who are currently using these products to take the necessary steps to transition to an environmentally friendly alternative and discontinue their use of polystyrene plastics. Beginning October 1, 2018, any establishment found using these products will be issued a Code Violation and could face fines for failing to comply with the requirements of Chapter 97 of the City of Hollywood Code.

Businesses with questions regarding enforcement can call Code Compliance at 954.921.3061.

Over 700 kids celebrated the season at the Annual Spring Marshmallow Drop at the Boulevard Heights Community Center. The star of the show was the Easter Bunny who took time out of his busy spring schedule to sit for photos. Kids enjoyed the DJ, arts & crafts, bounce houses and free popcorn. The youngest kids participated in the egg hunt and then watched from the sidelines as the older kids collected more than 30,000 marshmallows dropped from the sky by helicopter. The marshmallows and eggs were traded in for candy and a chance to win gift baskets, bicycles and other fun prizes. The Little Peeps Pageant brought out Hollywood’s youngest residents dressed to dazzle.

Hollywood Hot Glass at ArtsPark at Young Circle has partnered with Celebrity Cruises to offer an exciting hands-on experience to guests on board the Celebrity Equinox Cruise ship. Hollywood Hot Glass held its first overseas Hot Glass Class on the Equinox while sailing the Caribbean this past February. Two similar Hollywood Hot Glass studios are scheduled to open by June on the Celebrity Eclipse and Celebrity Solstice.

Guests can choose from eight different workshops, including a vase, a starfish and a flower. “It is a true honor to partner with Celebrity Cruises and have the opportunity to share our passion for glass through our Hot Glass Class program aboard three beautiful Celebrity ships,” says artist Brenna Baker Brown.

Tip

s

H o l l y w o o d Firefighters r e c e n t l y brightened the day of

a young ICU patient. The

seven year old boy has undergone

three major heart surgeries, including a failed heart transplant, and has been in ICU for more than six months awaiting new heart. He’s spent birthdays and countless holidays in ICU hooked up to life-sustaining machines. In an effort to break the monotony and boredom of his long hospital stay, his life

therapist reached out to find a firefighter who might be willing to visit him.

The very next day Hollywood Firefighters, in full gear, lined up ladder and rescue trucks just under the skywalk hoping he’d be able to catch a glimpse from his hospital bed. A dozen firefighters, led by Battalion Chief Drew Davis, brought gifts of trucks and a stuffed puppy and presented him with a real Firefighter helmet, uniform and hero-gold badge!

He was allowed to make a special field trip to the skywalk to take a look at the shiny real fire trucks

lined up in his honor. Nurses and a respiratory therapist gathered all the equipment needed for him to survive and the whole crew, led by Captain Andy Garcia, took him down to the fire truck where he got to sound the sirens and call on the dispatch radio. The Firefighters who provided the little boy with a few moments of pure joy were: TChief Christopher Del Campo; Captain Jimmy Russo; Battalion Chief Drew Davis; Capt. Andy Garcia; Lt Jose “Taco” Mendia; Lt. Bert Fernandez; Driver Erik Mendoza; Firefighters: Ryan Tobaschus; Ryan Diaz; Joel Pinero; Nolan Fitzpatrick and Christian Cadavid.

On February 14th, the call came in - there was a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Police Agencies from around South Florida responded to help control the situation, but the damage had already been done. Seventeen precious lives were lost to a gunman whose goal was to kill as many as he could.

The City of Hollywood Police Department has responded to this tragedy in a variety of ways. Our

personnel offer assistance as the situation unfolded. Officers

were deployed to each and every Hollywood

school. We remained in constant contact with our School Resource Officers, Broward

County School officials, neighboring agencies, and media contacts to ensure the safety and security of students and teachers in our schools.

In light of this tragedy, HPD has developed a plan that will: ensure student and faculty safety; provide a more visible Police presence; give parents a sense of security for their children; and provide comfort to the children that we come into contact with every day. This plan was implemented to make sure, to the best of our abilities, that another incident of this type would not happen in a school in our jurisdiction. HPD has strengthened existing relationships in our schools and invested more energy and time to ensure mechanisms are in place to gather intelligence regarding threats

in any of our schools. We’ve initiated discussions with our principals to help determine what we can do better to help the school community.

HPD has supported two resolutions passed by the City Commission. One would help strengthen requirements, background checks and raise the age limit to obtain firearms, etc., ban assault weapons except for law enforcement and keep military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines away from schools. The second resolution would require School Resource Officers in all schools.

We continue to solidify goals for the purpose of ensuring all available resources are being used to secure the safety of our students and schools.

Let’s GO Hollywood!It’s Time to Get ReadyCity Explores General Obligation Bond

What is a General Obligation Bond (GO Bond)?A GO Bond is a type of bond used by municipalities to fund major public projects such as new city facilities, infrastructure and parks. GO Bonds are backed by the credit of the city and are secured and repaid by a stand‐alone property tax rate. General Obligation Bonds require voter approval.

What is the Let’s GO Hollywood bond initiative?Let’s GO Hollywood is a wide variety of public improvement projects proposed to be funded by a General Obligation Bond of approximately $150 million. The improvement projects can be divided into three broad categories:

• Streets, Neighborhood Investments & Public Facilities – approx. $72 million

• Public Safety - approx. $63 million• Parks & Recreation – approx. $15 million

Through public input, a working project list was compiled and presented to the City Commission during a March 21st workshop. The Commission will approve the final project list along with the wording that will appear on the election ballot that goes before all voters within the City. If approved by voters, there will be a Citizen’s Oversight Board appointed to monitor the implementation of GO Bond projects. Projects would be implemented during the next several years city-wide.

Voters Approved Previous Bonds in HollywoodIn 2004 Hollywood voters approved the issuance of a $53.68 million General Obligation Bond. These bond funds financed the construction of improvements to

parks throughout the City including some large projects such as the construction of Sal Oliveri/Veterans Park, the complete

renovation of Rotary Park and the construction of

the Boulevard Heights Community Center

and Hollywood West Sports Fields. Several new Fire Stations were c o n s t r u c t e d . The bond also funded fire

equipment and police technology

upgrades. The 25 year bond was issued

on June 3, 2005 and will be paid off in June of 2030.

How will the Let’s GO Hollywood Bond be funded?The Let’s GO Hollywood Bond would be a 25 year bond that would be repaid through an additional percentage on your tax bill. For a $150 million bond, the owner of a home with an assessed value of $165,000 (the average assessed value in Hollywood) would pay an estimated $104 more per year. Why issue a GO Bond?The City of Hollywood maintains more than 85 facilities and parks, 400+ miles of streets and alleys and 5+ miles of beach. Each year the City adopts a 5-year plan for large scale maintenance projects, renovations and construction of new facilities. The City uses various sources of funding to pay for projects including taxes, debt financing, licenses and permit fees, charges for services and state and federal grants.

Even with these sources of revenue, the City currently does not have available funds to complete many proposed improvement projects. Bond financing allows cities to spread the cost for large projects out over many years.

What Can Taxpayers Expect In this Process?City staff has held multiple community informational meetings with neighborhood and business associations over the past several months as part of the planning process. A public education effort will take place to make sure voters have the information they need to vote on the Let’s Go Hollywood Bond initiative.

Investing in Our FutureWater Main Projects Underway

UTILITIESPROJECTUPDATE

The Department of Public Utilities is working to replace aging water mains in several areas of the City. This is part of the Department’s comprehensive plan to ensure safe, reliable drinking water both now and into the future.

Did you know half of all potable water in South Florida is used for outdoor irrigation? You can do your part to help conserve water and prevent stormwater pollution by applying Florida-friendly landscaping principles to your outdoor space.

Choosing Florida-friendly native and drought-tolerant landscaping, along with proper maintenance and a water-wise irrigation program, will ensure your landscaping will not only survive but thrive in our harsh South Florida

conditions.

Learn the nine principles of Florida-friendly landscaping:

Right Plant, Right Place. Select Florida native plants that are suited for your site and will require minimal irrigation, fertilization or pest control

once established. Be sure to also remove invasive exotic plants

and weeds that steal water and nutrients from your Florida-friendly

plants.

Right Amount of Water. Water your lawn and plants only when you know they need it or when they show signs of stress. Overwatering depletes the water supply and makes plants prone to pests and mold.

Right Amount of Fertilizer. When too much fertilizer is applied to landscaping, it moves past the

root zone and seeps into the aquifer or runs off into local waterways.

Right Amount of Mulch. Mulch is not only an attractive way to help control weeds without herbicides, it also helps the soil retain moisture and reduces erosion and stormwater runoff.

Limit Pesticides To Attract Wildlife. You can protect

butterflies and other beneficial insects by limiting your pesticide use.

Pull weeds by hand.

Manage Pests Responsibly. Using to much weed killer or other pesticides in your yard can cause the excess to run off into our local waterways. If you need to use a pesticide, choose horticultural oils and insecticidal soaps.

Recycle Yard Waste. Recycling your yard waste by using it on your lawn or flowerbeds can improve the soil quality and keep debris from clogging storm drains.

Reduce Runoff. Stormwater that runs off of your property carries pollutants, pesticides and excess fertilizers directly into our local waterways. By picking up your pet’s waste you can lower bacterial levels and nutrient pollution. Helping to pick up trash streetside prevents it from washing into storm drains. A properly maintained swale helps with flood control and run-off filtration.

Protect the Waterfront. Waterfront owners play a special role in keeping our waterways clean. They can do their part by removing invasive aquatic plants and establishing a 10-30 foot “no fertilizer, no pesticide” zone along their shoreline. They can also supervise landscapers t o ensure leaves, grass clipping and other materials are picked up and not blown or raked into waterways.To learn more about Florida-Friendly Landscaping or to explore the Florida-Friendly Plant Database visit www.floridayards.org.

In light of recent events that fill our newspapers and television screens, some people may find it difficult to muster feelings of happiness. In an attempt to spread a small measure of positive cheer, the City’s Hollywood Youth Ambassador’s, under the leadership of Commissioner Callari, recently held an event at ArtsPark dubbed “Hollywood Happy Day.”

Their goal was to promote the power of community through expressions of gratitude, friendship and joy in the form of musical performance, articulation and interpretive dance. The kids, donned in matching bright yellow “Happy in Hollywood” T-shirts, spread out through the park to hand out smiley face stickers, shake some hands and

offer positive greetings before the event performances. You can view a photo gallery of the event on the City’s Facebook page @CityOfHollywoodFL and a highlight video from the event on the City’s YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/5n_BIXEI3VA

Hollywood BeachMakes Top 25 Best Beaches in U.S. Again!Hollywood has done it again! Hollywood Beach has been named number 8 of the Top 25 Best Beaches in the United States, according to tripadvisor.com. The rankings are based on reviews and ratings left on tripadvisor.com over a 12-month period.

In fact, eight of the top 25 U.S. beaches are located in Florida and nine in Hawaii. Hollywood Beach comes in ahead of Panama City and

Fort Myers, Florida as well as other locations in California, Hawaii, South Carolina, Georgia, Massachusetts, and Virginia.
