A Message From Mayor Peter Bober
Dear Neighbors,
When I was a kid growing up in Hollywood, I looked forward to summer vacation
with great anticipation. My childhood memories of Hollywood are still fresh in my
mind, and the summer was always a glorious time.
Downtown is awesome for kids in the summer. Having spearheaded a free-parking
initiative downtown, spending time in our city center is more enjoyable than ever

from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. every Friday, parents can come and spend quality time this summer with
their kids in Hollywood’s downtown. Afterward, they can catch a concert in the park’s amphitheater.
You may recall my goal of trying to make live music a centerpiece in the downtown. Well, although
more work still remains, this initiative has yielded free public concerts in the Artspark Amphitheater

Summer Program & Events Guide
On The Cover
A downtown event that has been a real hit with kids is Food Truck Mondays (5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.)
which features dozens of food trucks offering any food or dessert you could possibly imagine. This
event is truly a night for families. What you’ll see this summer throughout the Artspark are blankets,
baby strollers, families, Frisbees, music and lots more. This creative event has become a proven way
to get flocks of people downtown on what was once considered an “off” night.
The Hollywood Beach Theatre at Johnson Street and the Broadwalk is also a great music venue and
a great kid-friendly destination. With free concerts scheduled five nights a week (Monday, Tuesday,

The great part about music in Hollywood is it is not all downtown and on the beach. For many years
now, on the second Saturday of most months, Hollywood has been putting on great concerts at the
Boulevard Heights Community Center Amphitheater. If you’ve never been, you really must check
it out. The amphitheater is nestled under a beautiful oak canopy and is a perfect spot for an evening

A new district map was adopted by the City
Commission at its March 7, 2012 regular
meeting. The biggest changes are between
District 3 and District 6. The area north of
Hollywood Boulevard, which once belonged
to District 6, is now in District 3. The border
between Districts 1 and 2 was set along North
Federal Highway. Lastly, the border between
District 4 and District 6 shifted north to
Johnson Street.

Based upon the 2010 Census, the population
of the City of Hollywood has increased by
1 percent or 1,411 residents since the 2000
Census. That’s a pretty small change, but
the City of Hollywood Charter requires that
the district boundaries for each Commission
District “be set by ordinance and updated
after each decennial census or as otherwise
required by law.”

Florida Atlantic University (FAU) was hired
to perform a demographic district analysis
based upon the change in population from
the census. FAU’s analysis showed District
2 gained population and District 3 lost
population. This change totaled a 12.56%
percent deviation from the district population
average. When the total deviation exceeds
10%, redrawing the district boundaries is
required.
Other Cities, Government Agencies
Looking to Hollywood’s Snipe Sign Campaign
The City of Hollywood’s innovative use
of automated calls to help combat illegal
snipe signs continues to receive widespread
acclaim and notice.
Several cities and government agencies
across the United States have contacted
the City of Hollywood to inquire about the
City’s program and its effectiveness. The
agencies that have reached out to learn more
about Hollywood’s program include the City
of Las Vegas, NV; Delaware Department
of Transportation; City of Salisbury, MD;
City of Chattanooga, TN; Oakland Park;
Palm Beach County; Leesburg; Plant City;
Lauderhill and Miramar.
The snipe sign reduction initiative was
conceived by Hollywood Mayor Peter Bober
and has resulted in a 90 percent reduction rate
in illegal signs placed in public rights of way.
Through the program, repeated automatic
phone calls, or “robo-calls,” are placed to the
number listed on an illegally placed sign. A
pre-recorded message advises that the sign
has been illegally placed in a public right of
way and must be removed immediately.

NEWS FROM District 6
Time Does FLy
I blinked my eyes and 4 ½ years
have flown by as we passed
through happy times and hard
times. During these years, we
have seen many changes in District
6. We made Zinkil Park more
accessible and the lives of its
neighbors more peaceful. The park
on the corner of 52nd Avenue and
Washington Street was named for
former Florida Attorney General
Bob Butterworth. A multitude of

speed
humps have been installed
Linda Sherwood
throughout District 6. Hollywood
Hills South was introduced to the
Hollywood Hills Civic Association
when the speed humps on their streets needed approval.
Through their attendance they recognized the importance of
being part of a strong organization.
Crime Watch became a strong force, not only in Hollywood
Hills South, but in Washington Park, Hollywood Gardens and
Hillcrest. The Crime Watch Mobile Patrol, along with two
very active members from Beverly Park roaming streets and
alleys, thwarted potential crime. Police Chief Chad Wagner’s
crime stats for the first three months of the year showed a
decline in all crime throughout the entire City compared to this
time last year. Police and citizens working together make a
real difference.
Washington Park’s Community Enhancement Center has
been working from the top floor of the Bank of America
building for more than a year now. Residents can find food,
clothing, computer lessons and more. By July, the apartments,
townhomes and service center on Wiley Street will be
completed well ahead of schedule!
On May 21st, prizes were given out for the Great Neighborhoods
Challenge. I am proud to say Lawn Acres had 34 participants
and Hollywood Gardens had 20. It was truly amazing to see
the before and after pictures of each home’s transformation.
Another transformation is taking place on Hollywood Blvd.
and we’re anticipating how beautiful it will look. We are also
curiously looking at the many empty buildings on 441. When
asked why, I answer with a huge smile, “because FDOT has
already acquired over 60% of them, and we are no longer in a
state of flux”! How wonderful after all these years.
There is big news about the Millennium which I hope will
be ready for my next article. So, I’ll leave you with baited
breath awaiting this information. Remember, I’m only a
phone call or e-mail away if you need me, 954.921.3321 or
[email protected].
Keeping Hollywood Beautiful
It’s summer vacation season,
but things aren’t slowing down
in Hollywood. There’s so much
happening and there’s so much
to do – Hollywood is filled with
excitement and promise.
I want to congratulate everyone
who participated in the Great
Neighborhoods Challenge. More
than 300 people fixed up their
properties with dozens receiving
Commissioner cash prizes and home improvement
PATRICIA ASSEFF gift cards for their efforts. We
saw people painting their homes,
repairing fences, improving landscaping, and engaging in many
other home and business beautification activities. Even those
who didn’t walk away with prizes should consider themselves
winners—they boosted their curb appeal, improved the overall
appearance of our neighborhoods, and got better acquainted with
their neighbors through the process.
When it comes to beautification, I’m happy to report the North
US-1 Roadway Improvement Project has been completed by the
Florida Department of Transportation. The $1.1 million project
included 45 dual-purpose light poles, new landscaping and new
median irrigation among a variety of other improvements. The
landscaping primarily includes new trees and low lying shrubs
4
inside the median. To conserve water resources, the new irrigation
system operates off of re-use water. The newly installed dualpurpose light poles go from Young Circle to Sheridan Street.
These poles have two levels of lighting, one for pedestrians and
the other for overhead roadway lighting. These improvements go
hand-in-hand with recent zoning changes made in this area that
will prohibit nearly three dozen types of businesses, including
bail bond offices, gun shops and ranges, assisted living facilities,
check-cashing stores, and tattoo parlors. The zoning encourages
new business uses including bookstores, cafés, bicycle shops, art
galleries, restaurants and boutiques.
I also continue to be excited about the ArtsPark at Young Circle,
which hosted Experience: Brazil on March 17 and an exciting
Colors of the Caribbean event on June 16. These events mark
the first in a series produced by the City of Hollywood and
Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency in partnership
with the Rhythm Foundation. About 2,000 people turned out in
March to watch the thrilling SpokFrevo Orquestra, a 19 member
group with full horns and rhythm sections, bass, drums and
guitar led by the virtuoso Inaldo Cavalcante de Albuquerque,
aka Maestro Spok, who plays the part of saxophonist, arranger
and musical director. The goal behind these events is to bring
new visitors to downtown Hollywood and let them discover our
many excellent restaurants, shops and galleries.
Have a great summer everyone!
Investing in infrastructure
Commissioner
Beam Furr
Schools out, the water is warm, the
fish are jumping and I remember
once again what is so special about
our piece of paradise…and why it
is so important to preserve it. I am
happy to see our parks and beaches
in good shape and being used by
kids and their families. We should
feel satisfied that our investment in
these assets is serving us well and
paying off in a better quality of life
for all of us.
We need to bring that same
dedication of resources to our infrastructure and capital
improvements. Over the last ten years, we have seen a dwindling
amount of money set aside for capital projects. We have gone
from dedicating millions of dollars a year to almost zero.
Consequently, there are streets that need paving and sidewalks
that need fixing. We know there are aging pipes and streetlights
that need our attention.
As we are all aware, we had to make some tough decisions last
year so our city could avoid becoming insolvent. Because of
those measures taken, we are in better shape financially than
we were at this time last year when we had to declare financial
urgency. We have taken a much more conservative approach
to our budget forecasting and that is serving us well. Our
property values finally started going up again, not by much, but
the direction is positive. We have gained some ground on our
unfunded liabilities and that has freed up some money in the
budget. And, most importantly, we have been able to rebuild our
reserves to at least a minimally acceptable level as determined
by the bonding agencies that lend us money for making capital
improvements.
We’re not, however, out of the woods yet. We still have some
serious legacy costs that will be with us for a long while. We
have to satisfy some mandates from the state legislature that
will be particularly expensive. Still, my hope is that during
this budget season we will be able to allocate some money for
hardscape improvements: things you see, touch and feel. As we
all know, if we leave something unattended, it costs us a lot more
to fix it later. I want to see in this budget a capital improvements
program that details over the next decade how, when and where
we address these most basic and essential needs of the our city.
As always, I take seriously the trust you have put in me to
represent you. If you have any concerns or great ideas, please
call me at 954.483.8263. That’s my cell phone, or you can email
me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you.
Funding Beach Improvements
One concern among many residents
is how the City can be in such a
difficult financial situation and yet
be doing major projects on the beach.
There is an answer to this valid
question. The City of Hollywood
Commissioner has a Community Redevelopment
Heidi O’Sheehan Agency (CRA) with two districts;
our downtown and our beach.
Having a CRA allows us to keep excess tax revenues, but they
must be used in the district which generates them. These CRA
districts have allowed us to do major infrastructure improvements
to both the downtown and the beach which we would otherwise
not have been able to afford. These improvements benefit our
residents, increase property values and spur private investment.
Additionally, the CRA contributes millions of dollars a year
back to the City to pay for enhanced services such as police,
beach safety, special events and code enforcement. The biggest
on-going project on the beach is the undergrounding of utilities.
This is a very important project as not only does it make the
beach more attractive, it makes it more hurricane ready.
When we go through our annual budget process, we always look
not only at the general fund, but also at enterprise funds and the
CRA. During the recent financial urgency we did look again at
the CRA to see if there was any additional way it could support
the general fund. We looked at eliminating the CRA; it would
actually cost the City millions because we would give up all of
the tax advantages but incur all of the debt.
I have asked the CRA Director to bring us some proposals on
how we can downsize the amount of money within the Beach
CRA and allow it to flow back to the City for general use.
Some of the options include changing the boundaries of the
CRA, capping the contribution to the CRA, or accelerating the
repayment of CRA debt and closing down the CRA early. A
discussion and vote on these potential options will occur soon.
If you are interested in this matter please let me know and I will
ensure you are notified of the meeting.

Designs that Stand the Test of Time
Sometime in the mid to late 1990s,
Hollywood utilized a federal loan
program known as HUD 108 to
purchase property in south central
Hollywood which would be dedicated
housing for low and moderate
income families. Since then, there
have been several proposals, but
none have met the conditions the
COmmissioner Commission and the community
has had in mind. Recently, another
Richard Blattner
proposal was submitted, but it was
wisely, in my opinion, pulled from
the agenda.
When we enter City Hall at ground level, we see pictures of
Hollywood from its founding to today. I am always struck by
the photos from the late-1930s through the mid-1950s that Rich
Roberts, our archivist, has framed, because they show interesting
houses, community facilities and City facilities. In terms of
architecture and design, quality and character, these buildings
have stood the test of time. They are classy.
We recently drove to Coral Gables for Sarah’s graduation, and as
you all know, once you are past downtown Miami, the road narrows
and you have plenty of time to look around at the buildings. These
are low to midrise buildings with a sense of dignity and character
(there is that word again). It is hard to tell how old they are, but
they fit in and they help define the neighborhood. They seem to
say, about the businesses inside, “we have arrived, we intend to be
here, and we are proud of it.”
So often we think that projects have to be iconic in design;
something flashy. We should ask ourselves: what will this look
like in 20 or 30 years? Sometimes neighborhoods or design
committees, or the hired-gun architects, think their building has
to become their signature. They ought to give most consideration
to the question: what does this building say to the tenants, the
neighbors, to people just driving past. It ought to say something
like: “Wow, that is a wonderful building. Someone put a lot of
thought into it. This is a place I want to live, work, play. Someone
really cares about this community.”
So, when this housing project comes back, I hope to see
something that helps create a community and demonstrates design
considerations that in 20 to 30 years we will still say, “This is such
a great place. I want to be here.”

Properly Dispose of Unwanted Records
As a result of the overwhelming
popularity of the City’s previous
shredding events, the Office of the City
Clerk, Records and Archives Division
is pleased to announce the scheduling
of three more opportunities for residents
to dispose of unwanted records. The
Division has arranged for shredding
services to be available to residents and
businesses on the following Saturdays:
August 18, 2012, November 3, 2012,
and April 20, 2013 - 8:00 a.m. to noon
(or until the truck reaches capacity)
All three events are scheduled to be
held on the west side of City Hall
Circle, 2600 Hollywood Boulevard.
Residents with proof of residency will
have the opportunity to shred up to five
boxes of records in a safe and secure
environment, insuring their personal
and private records do not turn up in the
wrong hands.
Identity theft is a growing crime that
can affect just about anyone, regardless
of how careful you might think you are.
According to the FBI, between 500,000
and 700,000 Americans every year are
victims of criminals looking to cash in
on your good name. Aside from the loss
of money, identity theft can cause many
problems: an extensive amount of time
closing fraudulent bank and credit card
accounts, repairing your personal credit
reports, being denied credit, loans, or
other services.
One of the most common ways thieves
hijack your identity starts right at your
home or business. According to the
U.S. Department of Justice, criminals
often engage in “dumpster diving”
going through your garbage cans,
communal dumpsters, or trash bins in
search of copies of checks, credit card
statements, bank statements or other
records that typically bear your name
and address. These documents
make it easier for criminals
to get control over accounts
in your name and even to
assume your identity.
Experts across the
board recommend
that all business and
personal
records
that could fall into
the wrong hands,
be
shredded
before
being
tossed in the trash.

on this service, contact
the Records and Archives
Division at 954.921.3545.
Message from the ACTING city manager
Dear Residents,
My first New Horizons entry was about a year ago when I shared with our residents some of the serious
financial challenges the City was facing. A multi-million dollar gap had been identified for the 2011 fiscal
year and an even larger budget shortfall was projected for fiscal year 2012. These financial shortfalls were
caused by a variety of factors—unrealistic revenue projections, inaccurate and incomplete accounting of
expenses, an unsustainable employee benefit package—and were exacerbated by the state-wide collapse of
the housing market and a struggling national economy.
These serious financial problems were compounded by the fact that we did not have adequate emergency
budget reserves, nor did we have access to emergency borrowing in the bond markets. A lot of tough choices
had to be made and new policies established which, together, are slowly but deliberately putting the City on
stronger financial footing. Yes, neither the housing market nor the national economy have robustly rebounded,
Cathy
but the City now has new financial policies in place that will allow us to better handle emergencies and better
Swanson-Rivenbark
manage our limited growth in resources. We are not out of the woods yet, but the path has been forged and the
clearing is in sight. (If you would like the details of these policies, please go to the Financial Services Department section of the City’s website
www. hollywoodfl.org.)
While the introduction of new, more disciplined financial and management policies is helping to put the City of Hollywood on stronger footing,
new public redevelopment initiatives and private and/or non-profit investments are adding momentum to our local economy and value to our
tax base. One new initiative is a targeted economic development strategy that builds on important cluster industries including Maritime, Life
Sciences, Logistics, Education, Professional Services and Tourism. The opening of Nova Southeastern’s National Coral Reef Institute in
John U. Lloyd State Park; Barry University’s College of Health Sciences mini campus in downtown; and City College at 6565 Taft Street, are
exciting additions to the City’s skylines and examples of powerhouse post-secondary academic offerings.
Speaking of powerhouse, Memorial Regional Hospital, Hollywood’s largest single employer has received LEED certification for its new freestanding, four story, 180,000 square feet Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital (which is connected to Memorial Regional Hospital via an elevated
walkway). This new addition to Hollywood offers a total of 204 licensed beds, six pediatric operating rooms, radiology services and an entire
floor dedicated to pediatric oncology care.
Equally exciting is the continued expansion of the cruise industry at Port Everglades in Hollywood. The state-of-the-art Terminal 18 opened
in 2009 to serve the world’s two largest cruise ships – Royal Caribbean’s 5,400 passenger ship Oasis of the Seas and its sister ship Allure of
the Seas which began sailing from the port in 2011. The Hollywood CRA has now established a successful transportation service to bring
ship passengers to Hollywood Beach to spend time (and money) before boarding their flights home. The City of Hollywood is proud to have
additions like these within our municipal boundaries and we look forward to working with them to help maximize employment and training
opportunities for our residents.
Also be on the lookout for another new initiative soon-to-be-underway—a City-wide maritime management plan to better celebrate and
manage the navigable waterways. City founder Joseph Young understood the powerful amenity of water—not only with the Intracoastal
and the Atlantic Ocean—but with North and South Lake and the extensive, but navigable, canal system. Thanks to a cash match by the
Hollywood CRA, the City has applied for a Florida Inland Navigation District Waterway Assistance Grant to produce this management plan.
The commission-appointed Marine Advisory Board will be assisting with this effort and there will be ample opportunity for public comment
and involvement.
If you want to stay informed on new initiatives and offerings, be sure to register for Notify Me on the City’s website. You can choose e-mail or
text message notifications about Commission meetings, special events, board meetings, concerts, job postings or other news and information.

EVERYONE WINS
WITH THE Great
Neighborhoods
Challenge
Dozens of residents joined the City of
Hollywood to celebrate the conclusion of
the Great Neighborhoods Challenge, and
many families walked away with thousands
of dollars in cash prizes for improving their
property’s exterior appearance.
Contest winners were announced May 21st
at the Fred Lippman Multi-Purpose Center
in Hollywood. The City awarded eight first
($2,500), second ($1,000), and third ($500)
place Private Space Entry cash prizes, as
well as 80 honorable mentions ($100 home
improvement gift cards) in each of the seven
neighborhoods that qualified for prize money.
Entrants whose neighborhoods did not meet
the minimum number of entries to receive
prize money were combined into an “atlarge” category and were eligible for cash
prizes.
Three neighborhoods in the City of
Hollywood – Driftwood, Hollywood Hills
and Playland Estates – were each awarded a
$25,000 Public Space improvement grant for
recruiting at least 25 property owners in their
area to fix up their properties and developing
an outstanding design to improve a public
area in their neighborhood as part of the
Public Space Design Challenge.
Driftwood proposed to create three certified
wildlife habitats in three dry retention areas
along Sheridan Street from the 65th Way
right-of-way to just west of 66th Avenue. In
this highly visible area, they propose to place
native vegetation to provide beautification
along this corridor, educational opportunities
for local schools, and a noise buffer for
residents in adjacent neighborhoods as well
as to discourage illegal dumping.
Hollywood Hills proposed a tree planting
project along 52nd Avenue between
Thomas and Sheridan Streets, which is
in close proximity to a major shopping
center, schools, a religious institution and
is a gateway entrance to the Hollywood
Hills neighborhood. Their plans included
planting Live Oaks and ground cover plants,
landscaping the elementary school entrance
and paving driveway aprons.
Playland Estates proposed to add a shade
structure, grilling station and picnic tables
to Oak Lake Park on 56th Avenue north of
Sheridan Street. They would double the
amount of tables and seating currently in
the park and provide an area for family
recreation and picnics.
Public Spaces contest submissions were
judged by Broward County Property
Appraiser Lori Parrish; Deirdre Hardy,
Director and Professor of Florida Atlantic
University’s School of Architecture; and
Diana Guidry, Natural Resource Specialist
II for the Broward County Environmental
Protection and Growth Management
Department.
More than 300 property owners in the
City took part in the Great Neighborhoods
Challenge improving their properties during
a four month span from December 1, 2011
to April 1, 2012. The Challenge included
a speed design workshop in which local
architects, master gardeners, exterior painting
consultants and realtors provided free advice
on upgrading the curb appeal of your home
or business. Additionally, the City’s nursery
hosted monthly plant and tree sales to support
the challenge and the Code Enforcement Unit
offered free exterior house paint through
Operation Paintbrush. All participants
received a certificate from Hollywood Mayor
Peter Bober acknowledging their efforts to
raise property values citywide.
Congratulations to everyone who participated!

in brain damage can ultimately cost more
than $4.5 million.
1-2-3
Swimming is one of the most popular summer
activities. One of the best things you can do
to help your family stay safe this summer
is enroll your children in age-appropriate
swimming lesson.
Drowning is the number one cause of death
for children ages 1 to 4 in Broward County.
Between June 2010 and May 2011, the
Broward Sheriff’s Office Homicide Unit
investigated 18 drowning deaths in Broward
County. Eighty-five percent of the accidental
drowning cases were adults; 15 percent were
toddlers. The majority of children who drown
in swimming pools were last seen in the home,
had been missing from sight for less than five
minutes, and were in the care of one or both
parents at the time of the drowning. Typical
medical costs for a near-drowning victim can
range from $75,000 for initial emergency
The City of Hollywood offers two-week
swimming lessons for ages 3 and up at the
Driftwood Community Pool. This year,
the City has partnered with the American
Red Cross to offer Big Splash 1-2-3, a free
drowning prevention and learn-to-swim
program for Broward residents. Big Splash
1-2-3 is made possible through a generous
grant from the Harry T. Manhurian, Jr.
Foundation Inc.. Congresswoman Debbie
Wasserman Schultz came to the center in
May to kick-off the program. Big Splash
1-2-3 will provide lessons to 3,000 children
who are enrolled in a free lunch program at
their school and are between 4 and 9 years
old. Parents of these children will be required
to attend a free water safety education class.
Lessons at the Driftwood Pool will run June
11 to August 2. For registration information
contact Driftwood Pool at 954.967.4644.
Here are some safety tips to follow whenever
you are in, on or around water.
• NEVER leave children unsupervised in
or around a body of water - even for a
moment. Children can drown in as little
as two inches of water in less than one
minute.
• Install a self-closing gate around the pool.
• Alarm every door leading to water to alert
you if a child has gone outside.
• Teach children water and swimming skills.
• During pool parties or family beach
gatherings, designate an adult to watch the
children.
• Remove any toys that may attract children
to the pool area.
• Install a pool cover to securely cover the
water area.
• Install a poolside, cordless phone.
• Keep lifesaving equipment - a pole, life
preserver and rope - in the pool area.
• Children with long hair should clip it back
or wear a cap in the pool.
• Avoid keeping water in buckets or other
large containers when toddlers are home.
• Don’t rely on flotation devices to protect
your children in the water.
Caution: No One is Drownproof
Participation in any swim lesson program cannot ‘drownproof’ your child.
No child is ever “drownproof” or water
safe.
•Water Safety and learn-to-swim courses should be age-appropriate
•Learning to swim will take time. Do
not expect children learn to swim
in one set of lessons or even in one
season.

to the United States to live with his mother in
NYC, who at the time was a political exile. He
resides in the US to this day having travelled
to many other countries in the search of his
artistic identity.
As a visual artist full-time and a writer parttime, he published his first book of poetry in
2005. Mecklembourg was influenced to paint

The City of Hollywood, Florida • Department of Public Utilities
June 2012
Your
S ToRM wATER UTILITY
In 1968, Congress created the National Flood Insurance
Program to provide affordable flood insurance to people
who live in areas with the greatest risk of flooding.
National Flood Insurance Program
Under the National Flood Insurance Act, lenders must
require borrowers whose property is located within a
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) to purchase flood
insurance as a condition of receiving a federally-backed
mortgage loan. The National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) makes federally-backed flood insurance
available in communities that agree to adopt and
enforce floodplain management ordinances to reduce
future flood damage.
The NFIP, through partnerships with communities,
the insurance industry and the lending industry, helps
reduce flood damage by nearly $800 million a year.
Furthermore, buildings constructed in compliance with
NFIP building standards suffer 77 percent less damage
annually than those not built in compliance.
How the Community Rating System Works
The Community Rating System (CRS) is a program
developed by the Federal Insurance Administration
to provide incentives for communities in the National
Flood insurance Program, that have gone beyond the
minimum floodplain management requirements to
provide protection from flooding.
The CRS rewards these efforts with discounts on
flood insurance premiums. The CRS has issued a
Classification of seven to the City of Hollywood. This
classification equates to a 15 percent premium reduction
for all National Flood Insurance policy holders within
special flood hazard areas in Hollywood.
Facts You Need to Know About
Flood Insurance
You do not need to live near water to be in a flood zone.
Floods are caused by storms, hurricanes and water
backup due to inadequate or overloaded drainage
systems, dam failure, or levee failure.
Flood damage is not covered by homeowners policies.
Flood insurance from the NFIP covers your home,
business and belongings. You can insure your home
with flood insurance for up to $250,000 for the building
and $100,000 for your contents.
Contents coverage is separate, so renters can insure their
belongings, too. Up to $100,000 in contents coverage is
available for homeowners and renters. Whether you
rent or own your home or business, make sure to ask
your insurance agent about contents coverage. It is not
automatically included with the building coverage.
Up to $1 million of flood insurance coverage is available
for non-residential buildings and contents. Up to
$500,000 of coverage is available for non-residential
building and another $500,000 for the contents.
There is usually a 30-day waiting period before the
coverage goes into effect. Plan ahead so you are not
caught without flood insurance when a flood threatens
your home or business.
Federal disaster assistance is not the answer. Before a
community is eligible for assistance, it must be declared
a federal disaster area. Federal disaster assistance is
only available if the President of the United States
declares a disaster.
More than 90 percent of all disasters in the United
States are not presidentially declared, and Federal
disaster declarations are issued less than 50 percent of
flooding incidents.
Who Needs Flood Insurance?
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
recommends everyone have flood insurance. And, since
the City of Hollywood is a participating community of
the National Flood Insurance Program, you are able to
buy Federal flood insurance no matter where you live in
the City, with the exception of coastal Barrier Resources
System areas. Mandatory Purchase:
The Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 requires any
individual, business, or other entity buying, building, or
improving property located in identified areas of special
flood hazards (see map) with participating communities,
to purchase flood insurance as a prerequisite for
receiving any type of direct or indirect federal financial
assistance (e.g., any loan, grant, guaranty, insurance,
payment, subsidy, or disaster assistance) when the
building or personal property is the subject of, or
security for, such assistance.
How to Purchase
Flood Insurance
To buy a flood insurance policy, call
your insurance agent or contact a
ny of the private insurance policy
companies that write flood insurance
under a special arrangement with
the federal government.
If your agent does not write flood
insurance, you may call the National
Flood Insurance Program's toll free
number at 1-888- 379-9531 or visit
www.floodsmart.gov, to obtain the
name of an agent in your area. You
can also check your local Yellow
Pages directory. It is a good idea
to have the same agent who writes
your homeowners or other insurance
policies also write your flood
insurance policy, so in the event you
need to file a claim, you only need to
work with one insurance agency or
company.
Protect Your Property
There are ways to minimize, or
eliminate, property damage before
a flood occurs. Some suggestions are
grading your property, elevating
and securing electrical appliances,
placing all low-lying electrical
fixtures on separate electrical
circuits, and using flood-resistant
materials on exterior surfaces. In
emergency conditions, sandbags
can be used to shore structures.
Elevating or covering furniture
and valuables can help minimize
damage. More permanent flood
protection
methods
include
retrofitting and structural controls
techniques. Retrofitting projects
include elevating buildings above
flood levels and flood-proofing.
Structural control projects include
installation of berms and floodwalls. In the coastal areas of our
community, high wind protection
such as storm shutters and
reinforced garage doors should also
be considered.
Permits
Has your house been damaged
recently? Are you planning to make
improvements to your home? Be
aware that for homes in special
flood or coastal high hazard areas,
How Will i KnoW if We are flooding?
The National Weather Service (NWS) maintains watch over local weather
conditions. If flooding from rainfall is anticipated, the NWS will broadcast
Emergency Flood Warning Notices through the Emergency Broadcast System,
local television and radio stations services. These notices are intended to alert
you and help you prepare for possible flooding. In the coastal areas, evacuation
orders or advisories may be issued to protect residents from storm surges.
Residents located in low-lying areas or near tidal bodies of water may be required
to evacuate and seek shelter. If you are asked to evacuate, do so immediately.
In emergency situations the City’s local critical information and updates are
broadcast through radio station AM 1630, Public Cable Access Channel 78 and
the Reverse 9-1-1 phone notification system.
Flood Warning Guidelines
• Do not walk or drive through flowing or standing water.
• Sewage from overflowing sewer lines may be present in the streets. Avoid skin
contact.
• Be alert for small animals that are flushed out by flooding conditions. Under
stress, animals may react by biting when disturbed.
• Avoid downed power lines and electrical wires.
• Turn off the power in your house. This includes all propane gas tanks and lines.
• Be aware of gas leaks in the house. Do not smoke, use candles or open flames
until you are sure no leaks exist; ventilate enclosed areas if you think gas is
present.
it is both a federal and a City
requirement that you include
special flood protection measures.
These include, in some cases, raising
the elevation of the structure to the
required flood elevation if one of the
following conditions are met:
The structure is damaged more
than or equal to 50 percent of its
market value. The cost of planned
improvements is more than or equal
to 50 percent of its market value.
Any combination of the above.
These requirements will be explained
to you when you apply for a building
permit. All floodplain development
requires a permit. If you have any
questions on substantial damage
or improvement. Please contact
the City of Hollywood Drainage
Engineer at 954- 921-3930 for more
information. Also, new construction,
repair/replacement work, additions,
signs, fences, fill, etc require a
permit. Contact the City's Building
Department at 954- 921-3335 for
further information.
Any illegal floodplain development
can be reported to City’s Engineering
& Construction Services Division at
954--921-3930.
Special Flood Hazard Area
An area of land that would be
inundated by a flood having a one
percent chance of occurring in any
given year (100-year flood).
The Coastal Barrier
Resources System
A coastal barrier is a unique
landform that provides protection
for diverse aquatic habitats, and
serves as the mainland's first line
of defense against the impacts of
coastal storms and erosion. Coastal
Barriers are naturally occurring
islands, sandbars, or other strips
of land, including coastal mainland
that protects the coast from severe
wave wash.
Congress
recognized
the
vulnerability of coastal barriers
to development by passing the
Coastal Barrier Resources Act
(CBRA) in 1982. The purpose of
this Act is to minimize the loss of
human life, wasteful expenditure
of Federal revenues, and damage
to fish, wildlife, and other natural
resources associated with coastal
barriers along the Atlantic and
Gulf of Mexico coasts. The CBRA
restricts federal expenditures and
financial assistance that have the
effect of encouraging development
Open Space
Preservation and
Water Quality
of coastal barriers. The CBRA, while
not prohibiting privately financed
development,
prohibits
most
new federal financial assistance,
including federal flood insurance,
within a designated coastal barrier
resource system.
In 1990, Congress passed the
Coastal Barrier Improvement Act
(CBIA). The CBIA tripled the size
of the system established by the
Coastal Barrier Resources Act. The
CBIA also prohibits the issuance
of new federal flood insurance
within "otherwise protected areas"
on buildings constructed on or
after November 16, 1991, unless
the building is used in a manner
consistent with the purpose for
which the area is protected.
Otherwise Protected Areas (OPAs)
are generally used for certain
activities such as fish and wildlife
research and refuges.
CBRA/OPA Zones: Land areas
designated as undeveloped coastal
barriers. These areas are shown
on appropriate flood insurance
map panels and have certain
coverage restrictions. There are
two CBRA zones within the City
of Hollywood, FL-20P and P14A.
P14A: Flood insurance is not
available for structures newly built
or substantially improved on or
after October 1, 1983 in designated
coastal barriers.
FL-20P: Flood insurance is not
available for structures - newly built
or substantially improved on or after
November 16, 1991 - not used in a
manner consistent with the purpose
of the otherwise protected area.
One way to prevent flood
damage is to maintain
open space in flood prone
areas.
Open
spaces
not only provide flood
protection benefits, but
it also minimizes erosion
and pollution; therefore
improving water quality
and enhancing natural
functions of a floodplain. Did you
know that rainfall is an important
part of the South Florida ecology?
Rainfall drains into floodplains such
as the Everglades and our many
wetlands. It then filters through
these areas and eventually is stored
in underground aquifers. This is the
source of your drinking water. It is
important that we maintain these
drainage areas, as the quality of
your drinking water depends on it.
Our community’s preserved open
space includes Anne Kolb Nature
Center, West Lake Park and John
U. Lloyd State Park. For more
information, please visit our web
site at: www.hollywoodfl.org.
Flood Zone Determinations
Part of the process for obtaining
flood insurance is determining the
flood zone for your property. All flood
zone determinations must be made
from Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRM). These are the official maps
that show both the special hazard
areas and the risk premium zones
applicable to the community. Some
important terms when reading a
flood determination are:
Special Flood Hazard
Areas (SFHA): Areas that have one
percent chance of being flooded in
any given year (100-year floodplain).
Over a 30-year period, the life of
most mortgages, there is at least a
26 percent chance that this area will
be flooded.
Coastal High Hazard Areas
(CHHA): Special flood hazard
areas along the coasts that have
additional hazards due to wind and
wave action.
Base Flood Elevation (BFE): The
elevation shown on the FIRM for
SFHA Zones that indicate the water
surface elevation, based on the
National Geodetic Vertical Datum,
resulting from a flood that has a
one percent chance of equaling or
exceeding that level in any given
year. NGVD is the national standard
reference datum for elevations (0 =
sea level).
Coastal
Barrier
Resources
Act/Otherwise Protected Area
Zones (CBRA/OPA): Land areas
designated as undeveloped coastal
barriers. These areas are shown on
appropriate flood insurance map
panels and have certain coverage
restrictions.
Zone: A geographical area shown
on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map
or a Flood Insurance Rate Map
that reflects the severity or type
of flooding in the area. The map
illustrates the flood plains within
the City of Hollywood. If you need
assistance in determining whether
or not you are located within a
SFHA or CBRA within the City of
Hollywood, you can call 954- 9213930 during regular business hours,
or call 954- 921-3939 and leave
a message at any time. You can
also visit the City's web site, www.
hollywoodfl.org, where you can
download and complete the "Request
for Flood Determination" form
and return it to the Engineering &
Construction Services Division for
processing. This is a free service for
properties within the City limits.
Elevation Certiﬁcates:
The Elevation Certificate is an
official record that identifies
property address, flood zone and
base flood elevation, and shows
how high new buildings and
substantially improved existing
buildings were elevated.
Communities participating in the
CRS program use the certificate
to ensure compliance with their
community floodplain management
ordinances.
Insurance
agents
writing flood insurance policies use
the form to properly assign rates
to buildings and the NFIP uses it
to determine the proper insurance
premium rate.
Elevation Certificates can usually
be found with home purchase
closing or mortgage documents.
The City of Hollywood maintains
Elevation Certificates for all new
construction
and
substantial
improvements since it entered the
CRS program on 12/15/91. City of
Hollywood Records and Archives
Division
(954-921-3585)
keeps
public records and for a nominal fee,
you may request copies of records
by filling out and submitting a
“Records and Information Request
Form”. Request forms are available
from the Records and Archives
Division or from the City’s web site
using the following link: http://www.
hollywoodfl.org/records_archives/
pdf/research.pdf
For properties where an Elevation
Certificate cannot be found, the
property owner can have a new
one prepared by a registered
professional land surveyor.
Flood Hazards
Because the City of Hollywood
is located in a relatively low and
flat geographical area, we are
particularly susceptible to flooding
from major rain storms and storm
surges. We have major water bodies
such as the Atlantic Ocean and
Intracoastal Waterway, and many
lakes and canals that can overflow.
In addition, the water table is just
below the ground surface. Therefore,
a major rain storm can sometimes
leave rainwater nowhere to go,
causing flooding in some areas of
the City. This document is meant to
both inform you of this hazard and
provide you with information on
how you can protect both yourself
and your property.
The City's Stormwater
Drainage System
The City currently has more than
52 miles of storm drainage pipe with
associated catch basins and outfalls
to discharge stormwater runoff.
Although originally established
to provide maintenance and
repairs to the existing stormwater
infrastructure, the program has
responded to the City's needs by
including numerous new drainage
construction projects and swale
grading throughout the City.
Stormwater is Water
From Rainfall
The stormwater system includes
all natural and man made drainage
elements used to move stormwater
from the surface to a suitable outlet
location. The stormwater system
includes pipes, channels, catch
basins, curbs, gutters, streams,
ditches, wetlands, pump stations,
roadways,
detention/retention
basins, swales, ponds and other
conveyance and treatment facilities,
both public and private. A clean
drainage system, including open
ditches and catch basins, is essential
to prevent flooding. The City cleans
all catch basins annually, while
problem catch basins are cleaned
more often. Future plans include
continued upgrades to the system.
You also can help maintain the
stormwater drainage system by

keeping your yard and swale area
free of leaves, brush, paper and
other debris. Swales are the strips
of land, usually located in front of
houses, between the sidewalk and
the street. Homeowners are required
to maintain the swales around their
property in good condition to help
protect our canals and waterways.
Note: , swales should be lower
than the pavement to encourage
proper drainage from the roadway.
Pollution Prevention Did you know
that it is illegal to throw anything
in the lakes, canals, Intracoastal,
Ocean or other waters? Only
rainwater is allowed to drain into
the storm drains located in streets,
curbs and rights-of-way. The
dumping, spilling, or discharging
of any non-stormwater material
to any surface area or storm water
management system, is prohibited
without prior written approval from
the City. This includes emptying
swimming pool water into the
drainage system. Help us keep the
waters and streets of the City of
Hollywood clean. If you witness
any dumping of material into
storm drains or waterways, please
call the Regulatory Compliance
Office at 954- 921-3414. Altering,
obstructing, or otherwise blocking
any
stormwater
management
system in the City, including pump
stations, drainage pipes, structural
controls, catch basins, culverts,
wetlands or swales, is prohibited
without prior written approval of
the City.

Hollywood Athletics Maintenance
The “Diamondairs” of the City
maintain these fine facilities. The
“Diamondairs” consists of both fulltime and part-time professionals.
The members of the City’s Athletics
Maintenance team are the “Diamondairs” of
our athletic fields. Their craft is maintaining
some of Hollywood’s finest diamonds.
Yes, they groom the City’s baseball fields,
but they also apply their artisanship to
football and soccer fields. As stewards of
these valuable community resources, these
employees have specialized talents that
have to be applied in a specific manner to
Diamonds receive and hold their
value based on our three Cs system –
Cut, Color, and Clarity.
Cut is the grooming of entry ways, lining of
fields, mowing at correct height, removing
dead palm fronds and debris, tilling clay,
dragging ball fields, edging borders, and
regular lawn mowing.
Color is the healthiness of our grass,
crispness of clay, and the playability of our
fields. Vibrant green grass comes about when
water is added, fertilizer is properly applied
and care is given to this living resource.
Clarity is when our fields and facilities shine
after the removal of debris and fallen leaves.
It also applies to the cleanliness of trash
receptacles and restrooms.
So the next time your kicking around a soccer
ball or hitting a baseball down the third base
line, think of our “Diamondairs” and the hard
work they do to take care of our City’s many
athletic “diamonds.”

Enhanced Garbage, Recycling and Bulk Collection Coming Soon!
26
Over the next few months the City will be
finalizing solid waste service enhancements
with Waste Pro for single family homes that
currently have their garbage and recycling
collected by Waste Pro. The goal of these
changes is to improve our service to you and
keep Hollywood cleaner. Using a new six day
pickup schedule, the City is exploring having
blue cart recyclables collected every week
instead of bi-weekly, and commingled debris
picked up every week instead of monthly.
Garbage will continue to be collected twice
weekly. The City is also working with Waste
Pro to make it easier for you to keep track of
your pickup days. Look for more information
as it becomes available on the City’s website,
www.hollywoodfl.org. City staff along
with our Waste Pro partners will be visiting
civic association meetings and distributing
information. Stay tuned for opportunities to
offer your input on these service enhancements.

Turn Off Your Lights
It’s Sea Turtle Nesting Season!
March 1 to October 31
It’s sea turtle nesting season again, and
beachside residents, visitors and businesses
can do their part to help protect threatened
and endangered sea turtles.
The City of Hollywood’s Marine Turtle
Lighting Ordinance, adopted in March 2011,
requires public and private entities along
Hollywood Beach to maintain low lighting
levels during nighttime hours. Homes,
businesses and organizations that will incur
a cost to alter their lighting levels on the
beach have five years to comply with the
ordinance. Lighting which could be shielded
or altered without capital outlay must come
into compliance immediately.
Hollywood is unique coastal community
with an historic beach Broadwalk including
shops, restaurants and hotels directly adjacent
to the sand and requiring lighting
for public safety. With changing
technologies
and
regulations,
Hollywood continues to explore
ways to reduce lighting impacts
along this busy thoroughfare.
As part of an 18-block capital
improvement project on the east/
west streets leading up to the beach,
the Community Redevelopment
Agency funded the replacement of older
lights along the side streets with Florida
Department of Environmental Protectionapproved marine turtle-friendly lighting.
Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic
Center located in Hollywood offers the
following ways you can help protect sea
turtles:
• Refrain from walking on the beach at
night during the summer months as
much as possible. No matter how quiet,
humans will often, and unknowingly,
frighten nesting sea turtles back into
the sea.
• Never keep baby or newly hatched
sea turtles in aquariums or buckets of
water. They may survive, but without

•
•
the proper permits this is a violation of
the law.
Keep bright lights from shining onto
the beach. If you have security or safety
lights near the beach, shut-off these
lights during nesting season or build
shades around the light so the beach
is not directly illuminated. Hatchlings
can be disoriented by the bright lights.
If you see someone harassing a sea
turtle or poaching a nest, please call the
local police.
Do not dispose of plastic bags in the
ocean. Plastic bags in the ocean very
closely resemble a favorite food of sea
turtles (jellyfish) and can cause illness
or death to the turtle that eats them.
Stay clear of marked sea turtle nests on
the beach.
Never interfere with hatchlings
emerging from nests or walking along
the beach towards the water.
Never
use
flashlights,
flash
photography or video camera lights on
nesting turtles or hatchlings.
Remember, disturbing a sea turtle nest is a
violation of State and Federal laws.

Hollywood CRA Grants Spur Property
Improvements at Beach, Downtown
A beautification boom is transforming Hollywood’s CRA districts, one property at a
time. Dozens of Hollywood Beach and Downtown properties have undergone major
renovations in the past year with help from the CRA’s popular renovation grants: the
Paint Only Program (POP), the Property Improvement Program (PIP) and the Hotel
Improvement Program (HIP). Currently, nearly two dozen grant applications are moving
through the grant process for such beautification projects as concrete repairs, painting,
windows, awnings, signage, lighting, landscaping and other improvements. High profile
projects like the renovation of GG’s Waterfront Bar & Grill and Billy’s Stone Crabs
have dramatically changed the look of parts of the A1A corridor. Throughout the beach,

City Considering Financing Proposals
for Margaritaville Resort
Progress continues on the Margaritaville
Hollywood Beach Resort. The development
group led by Lon Tabatchnik has asked
the City of Hollywood to consider a new
financing plan that would not rely heavily on
foreign investors. The current financing plan
included a significant portion of the funding
for the project to come through the federal
government’s EB-5 immigrant investor
program, in which foreign nationals invest a
minimum of $500,000 to fund a governmentapproved commercial development in
exchange for a visa to become a conditional
permanent resident in the U.S. The program’s
popularity, which has grown significantly
in recent years, has created a substantial
increase in the processing time need for
program approvals.
The City and the Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA) are currently reviewing
proposals from Tabatchnik that include more
traditional construction financing.
Development of the luxurious, 349-room
Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort is
planned for a five-acre site between Johnson
and Michigan streets. The resort will include
convention and ballroom space, retail stores,
restaurants, full-service spa and fitness center,
a dual lane wave rider, and other amenities.
Plans also include a 1,600-square-foot
Landshark Bar and Grill on the Intracoastal
Waterway featuring dock space for boat access.
The current lease and development
agreements call for the City of Hollywood
and the Hollywood CRA to receive more
than $33 million in income over the 99-year
lease term. Hollywood will be home to a new
Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) Silver resort, a new boat
dock with eco-tours along the Intracoastal,
and more entertainment and outdoor seating
at the beach theater.
MEALS FOR SENIORS
The Jubilee Center provides a free hot meal every Monday at 3:00 p.m. to
seniors of at least 60 years of age. In addition, the center also hosts a free
Bingo game with prizes at 2:00 p.m. and each senior recieves a free bag of
groceries when leaving the center.
Police Officers and
Firefighters Display Equipment
and Skills at Open House
The Hollywood Fire, Rescue and Beach Safety Department and the
Hollywood Police Department hosted the City’s annual Public Safety Open
House at the 56th Avenue Public Safety Training Facility this spring.
The free, informative and fun-filled event provided Hollywood residents
and visitors a glimpse of the latest techniques and equipment used by the
City’s firefighter/paramedics and police officers to protect and serve the
public. The event featured demonstrations on rope rappelling, vehicle
extrication, and fire suppression, as well as police K-9 and SWAT units.
Those who came to the event had the chance to operate a charged fire
hose line, and were given a close-up view of a bulletproof vest and other
law enforcement gear. Officials also demonstrated what can happen
to someone who does not wear a seat belt and is in a motor vehicle
accident. The open house also featured informational booths, a blood
drive, a mini health fair, and a drawing for a free hurricane kit.
