NEWS FROM District 1
Spring: a Season of Renewal
Commissioner
PATRICIA ASSEFF
As we’ve watched our neighbors
to the north cope with the “polar
vortex” and one of the worst
winters on record, I can’t help but
think how lucky we are to live in
a place where frostbite, icy roads
and frozen pipes are never a
worry. It’s no wonder the spring
is always so heralded.
Even
though we don’t endure brutal
winters, I still love spring. There’s
something about its arrival that
always seems energizing.
It’s
a time of renewal, when people
think about cleaning things up
and making progress.
When I first became your District 1 Commissioner, one of
the initiatives I started was a “Blight Busters Committee.”
The idea was to train a sharp eye on every corner of District
1 to identify blighted conditions - unkempt properties,
overgrown landscaping, code violations and maintenance
problems. More than 5 years later, we’ve had numerous
blight buster tours, issued hundreds of code violations and
hosted clean-ups and beautification projects. The Blight
Busters Committee is still hard at work and your thoughts
and feedback on how we can continue to make a difference
are welcome.
Another sign of renewal is all the construction cranes
dotting the skyline. Construction is well underway on
the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, the West Lake
Commons Shopping Plaza and on Positano II. For the first
time in nearly 4 years, there’s new residential construction
not only on the beach, but in pockets throughout the City.
Well-placed, well-planned redevelopment will help attract
and retain businesses, create jobs and add to the variety
of office, shopping and housing opportunities we have in
Hollywood.
One industry that’s long been important to South Florida
and to Hollywood is the marine industry. Several months
ago, the City applied for and received a grant from the
Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) to help fund a
marine waterways master plan. I encourage anyone who’s
interested, and didn’t get to attend the public meetings on
this topic, to take a moment to review the initial inventory
and analysis under the “Hot Items” tab on the City website,
www.hollywoodfl.org. With so much waterfront in District
1, your input is important in developing a sensitive and
appropriate plan to protect the City’s marine assets into the
future.
Enjoy the spring! While it hasn’t come on the heels of brutal
winter, it still reminds me of the quote from Anne Bradstreet
about spring in which she remarks, “If we did not sometimes
taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”

Improvements Underway
Commissioner
PETER HERNANDEZ
Our daylight is lasting longer and
we are busier than ever! There
is a great deal happening around
town. We have installed the first
police cameras and license plate
readers along Federal Highway.
These are prototypes to find
the right ones that would help
the Police Department fight the
crime issues plaguing the City.
In time, these cameras will be
installed all around and will be
centrally monitored at police
headquarters.
The sewer and water main
projects in District 2 are running ahead of schedule. They
have had their hiccups, but those have been addressed and
learned from. The storm drainage issues we have had on
the south side of Hollywood Boulevard for years are being
addressed by the Department of Public Utilities. Along the
west side of 26th Avenue, new drain structures are coming
in, some old ones are coming out, and some swales will be
reshaped to better accommodate stormwater. On the east
side of 26th Avenue, the storm drainage will be addressed
at a later date when Phase 2 of the water mains is installed.
All of this work will be done before the streets are paved.
In Royal Poinciana, preliminary approval has been given
to build a 10-plus acre charter school for the south east
corner of Taft Street and North 21st Avenue. This project
is welcome by the civic associations, with a word of
caution regarding the potential traffic impact west of Dixie
Highway on Taft Street. The residents have every right
to be concerned about traffic due to the overwhelming
amount of residential development that the area is facing.
In Liberia, the MLK center has a community gym that is
open to the public. Also, some vacant city-owned parcels
have been sold. This was an administrative decision that
included selected parcels throughout Hollywood that were
maintained by the City for years. The City decided to sell
them to stop the expense and raise funds.
Parkside is getting better. However, it continues to have
issues along Washington Street and Dixie Highway. I have
been out with police making the rounds, pinpointing hot
spots and working toward solutions.
We’ve been working diligently with all the City’s
departments to bring back the quality of life that’s been
disrupted by individuals only interested in making money
at the community’s expense. That being said, we need
your help as we continue this endeavor. If you see any
disruptive or suspicious activity that does not belong,
please let us know. Together we can make the difference.
It’s our City!
As always, please feel free to contact me with any news,
concerns, or comments. My e-mail is phernandez@
hollywoodfl.org.
Achieving balance
Year 2014 for Hollywood is
in full throttle, especially for
District 3. Development seems
to have attracted the eye of
many potential investors. Some
developers have been on standby waiting for the economy to
pick up and others have entered
our City with a whole new vision.
Joseph W. Young also had his
own vision in place for Hollywood
going back as far as 1925, which
Commissioner differs
from today. Hollywood
TRACI CALLARI was envisioned by Young as a
“Dream City” aka “Hollywood-bythe Sea.” In 2005, Forbes magazine recognized Hollywood’s
diversity calling it a “City of the Future,” a reference included
in the 2001 City Wide Master Plan. 1From 1990 to 2000
our City’s population increased by 14.7% with minimal
infrastructure improvements to accommodate the increase.
The City Wide Master Plan (CWMP) states that
redevelopment and new development should be the most
important factor and focus. Rehabilitation and limited new
construction should remain a priority, but I believe this
must be monitored in a stable, safe, and an economically
affordable way. We have the opportunity to successfully
make creative, accommodating changes that will bring in
new residents while preserving the current residents’ quality
of life. A major issue that must be properly addressed and
4
considered as suggested in the CWMP is our traffic calming
methods, traffic standards, and the infrastructure of our
streets.
Green space has become the hot topic. Developers want
the green space and many residents don’t want to give it
up. It is very important we maintain as much green space
as we can in a way that won’t hinder the City financially, and
provide the benefits green spaces have to offer. Many areas
around green spaces will successfully increase in value if
developed and used properly. I encourage all residents from
every district to get more involved. I welcome input and
participation with community meetings that will address the
new and re-development that is potentially knocking on our
door. We must strive to have an even balance to make the
future of our City work.
Safety, crime, and code enforcement continue to be an issue
in our City. I will continually be addressing and keeping it
a primary focus. Please continue to be the eyes and ears
of our Police and Fire Departments. Continue to contact
the 954.967.HELP if you see a suspicious activity in your
neighborhoods.
Please e-mail me if you have any questions, concerns, and
or comments at [email protected].

Excerpts taken from City of Hollywood’s Citywide Master Plan,
September 2001
FACING REALITy: the first step to success
Recently, my California son told
me that my grandson, Sam,
was taking baseball lessons—
sounded good to me, wanting
to improve his skill and ability.
When Dad asked Sam how he
liked the lessons and how he
liked the coach, the answer
was very profound. He liked
the coach because he only
VICE MAYOR
said “good job” when Sam did
Richard Blattner something well. Sam understood
that repeating that phrase when
it wasn’t earned diminished its
value, and maybe more important, made a truly good job
or result less significant.
So what replaces the loss of innocence? Borrowing a
phrase from a Jim Collins, author of Good to Great and How
the Mighty Fell, it is facing the “Brutal Facts.” He advises
,that means looking at conditions and circumstances with
a critical eye, to become hedgehogs plowing through
obstacles, and to be willing to abandon the traditional way
we have approached a problem; to think out of the box
(now a trite expression).
Many of us have sat through swim meets, little league
games, etc., where everyone wins a ribbon or medal or
trophy regardless of the finish. We tolerate that because
we want the kids to feel important and valued. I am
thinking the kids know better; at least at some age they
get it. They learn that winning isn’t everything (apologies
to Vince Lombardi).
Not being a philosopher or trying to be as profound as my
grandson, his lesson is to face reality, look at it squarely in
the face and identify the “Brutal Facts.” Wonder how many
executives of companies on the edge, or governments
striving to meet their challenges, are being told “good
job” when the reality is, not all performance deserves that
accolade.
In Good to Great, Collins illustrates how companies went
from merely being good, to becoming absolutely great; by
breaking the mold of their thinking. In his second book,
he tells us how some of the “Great” companies, in a very
short period of time, are no longer with us. Listen to what
we are being told today about legacy companies that are
struggling to rebrand themselves.
Positive Strides
Many of our neighbors have
expressed
feeling
neglected
in what is commonly referred
to
as
“West
Hollywood”.
Hopefully
that
feeling
has
and will continue to change,
as we make improvements
and introduce events in our
neighborhoods. New Horizons
is great, but don’t let this be
the only way you receive City
information. The City’s website,
Commissioner www.hollywoodfl.org, contains
KEVIN BIEDERMAN a lot of valuable information.
Please visit the site and sign up
for “Notify Me” to have information sent directly to you.
It’s very easy now to help better our neighborhoods, one
can even do it by phone. Go to the City’s website and click
on Help Me Hollywood to report issues such as potholes,
garbage issues, downed street signs, etc. You can even
download an app for your cell phone by going to app store
or visiting www.publicstuff.com. This allows you to report
neighborhood concerns immediately from your mobile
phone. Your submission is routed to the appropriate City
staff for follow up and you do not have to give your personal
information unless you would like an update.
Additionally, I would like to encourage you to participate in
events that take place in our area. Both the Driftwood Civic
and Boulevard Heights Neighborhood Associations held a
Cash for Trash event to clean up the litter that plagues our
area. We picked up over 500 pounds of trash and yielded
much needed funds for these associations. The Hollywood
Relay for Life event for the American Cancer Society is
being held at McArthur High School this year April 1112. For more information, please visit www.relayforlife.
org/hollywoodfl. Another signature event is the Spring
Marshmallow Drop at the Boulevard Heights Community
Center on April 12 from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. The Office of
the City Clerk/Records and Archives Division is hosting its
quarterly free shredding event on Saturday, April 26 at the
Boulevard Heights Community Center from 8 a.m. until the
trucks reach capacity. Residents can bring up to 5 boxes to
shred, but must provide proof of residency (driver’s license,
utility bill, tax bill, etc.) We are also planning a Memorial
Day Remembrance Walk that will be held in our area.
Please join your local civic or neighborhood association to
participate in making positive strides for our neighborhoods.
It makes a huge difference! For example, just last month,
Driftwood held a traffic meeting where City staff and
residents worked together for an amicable solution to the
64th Avenue issue.
Stay informed by e-mailing me your contact information

media on Facebook or Twitter.

BE A PART OF THE ANSWER
When I was a young girl,
growing up, life seemed to
be quite different. People sat
on their front porches and no
matter what time of the day,
someone was always outside.
It was not unusual to hear a
neighbor reprimand someone’s
child - if the child was not doing
the right thing. The parents of
the reprimanded child were not
Commissioner offended, but actually thankful
Linda Sherwood for the help their neighbor gave
by keeping their child on the
straight and narrow. Everyone knew everyone else on
the block and looked out for everyone’s well being.
I grew up and then married here in Florida. Everything
seemed so different! Houses didn’t have front porches,
they had back patios and there were fences around each
house. It was as if it was understood that unless you
were invited over, one should mind their own business.
It puzzled me trying to understand why neighbors did
not know each other or work together to make their
neighborhoods better. Then one day, I noticed a sign
announcing a meeting for the Driftwood Civic Association.
It was here that I learned how valuable volunteering
would become in my life. Through the civic association, I
learned how to at least attempt to bring my neighbors out
of their homes to look around and make things better. We
didn’t have hard junk pickups at all at this time and what
was left in front of homes or empty fields was absolutely
disgusting. The association, in cooperation with the City,
would hold hard junk collections quarterly on Saturdays
and serve hot dogs and soda. People got to know one
another, they had fun, and got rid of a lot of junk.
Next, through the civic association, we were introduced to
Crime Watch. In Crime Watch, we were truly watching out
for one another—calling the police non-emergency phone
number if we suspected anything suspicious and having
a neighborhood call list to alert our neighbors to crime.
Being a member of your civic association and Crime Watch
are tantamount in keeping your neighborhoods clean,
safe, healthy and somewhere you are proud to call home.
If we had 500 Code Officers in our City, it still wouldn’t be
enough without YOU making the effort to help. We could
have twice the number of Police Officers and without YOU
keeping your house and car locked and keeping an eye
out for suspicious behavior, it still would not be enough.
You are needed. You are valuable. Make the time to be a
part of your community by joining your civic association
and/or Crime Watch. Be a Part of the Answer.

Hollywood Expo Alfresco
Returns to ArtsPark April 9th
For almost two decades, the
Greater Hollywood Chamber of
Commerce has brought Hollywood
Expo Alfresco – the Ultimate Food,
Wine and Tradeshow Experience
– to downtown each spring. What
began as a cozy little street fair
has since blossomed into an
extravaganza that now showcases
more than 100 booths representing
South Florida’s finest eateries and
businesses.

Expo
Alfresco
so unique,” explains Chamber
Executive Director and CEO Anne
Hotte, “is that we provide a onestop-shop where our event-goers
can meet local business owners,
sample signature dishes from area
restaurants and taste wines from
around the world. Combine that
with an exciting entertainment
line-up and activities for the kids,
and you’ve got a great all-around
evening in beautiful downtown
Hollywood.”
Local firehouses will once again
compete for the coveted “Firehouse
Cook-Off Showdown Cup.” Muzart
Creative Arts Studios will host
its popular Kidz Korner with arts
and crafts and games. And new
this year, Expo will include an art
fair and a golf clinic presented by
McCumber Golf Academy.
This
year’s

Crab Restaurant & Market, Bravo
Supermarket, City of Hollywood,
Hollywood Discount Liquor &
Wine, The Pressroom and Muzart
Creative Art Studios.
“Hollywood Expo Alfresco is a
great experience as a business
owner. Not only did we get great
exposure, but we also added many
new customers. We gave coupons
for our spa with the Expo Alfresco
logo on the back and had at least
25 new clients redeem them,”
said owners Maribel Ruiz and
Luis Guevara of Beauty of Wax,
who is the new president of the
Downtown Business Association.

Message from the city manager
Hollywood’s renovated beach Broadwalk was recently designated one of the 10 great public
spaces in 2013 – not just in the State of Florida but the entire country—by the prestigious
American Planning Association. Barry University’s College of Health Sciences program
continues to thrive in the adaptive reuse of an old, vacant Fire Station as it seeks out
additional space to expand its academic presence in downtown Hollywood (more than 40 of
their graduate students now call Hollywood home.) A beautiful linear park will rise up as
part of the fully funded State Road 7 widening project, currently underway, allows Hollywood
Cathy
Gardens West to finally have easy access to lighted pedestrian paths, a small playground and
Swanson-Rivenbark
a public park. Hollywood Boulevard from City Hall to downtown, several blocks of Johnson
Street, and other important corridors will be transformed to “complete streets” with added
safety, lighting, beautiful trees, wide sidewalks, bike paths, parking and more because of a $30 million funding allocation
from the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) with additional
allocations anticipated. Technical designs are also underway for Federal Highway, Dixie Highway, and A1A. A new
commuter rail station design is “waiting in the wings” as downtown Hollywood competes to become one of 26 stops for
a new commuter rail project. Stan Goldman Park, thanks to neighborhood input, will get a new lease on life with more
lighting, added security, luscious mature shade trees, and a dog park so nice it would even make Lassie’s tail wag. A
new memorial will be unveiled the first week of May honoring the Hollywood Police Department’s 6 Police Officers killed
in the line of duty over the department’s almost 90 year history. What do these “masterpieces in the making” have in
common? Each was expertly designed by members of the City’s in-house design team, within the Department of Public
Works, and each helps weave a new standard of beauty and enhanced quality of life into the fabric of our community.
Our hard working staff is not only designing physical additions to the City, but also technological and programmatic
enhancements. For example, the Police Department and the Department of Information Technology have joined
forces to develop a City-wide CCTV and License Plate Reader System to serve as crime deterrents using state-of-theart technology. The Police Department is also working with our Office of Human Resources (assisted by our Office
of Public Affairs) in a proactive, but rigorous, recruitment of new police officers which has already resulted in over
50 new officers hired (from a pool of 2,500 applicants) and our recruitment continues! Our Community & Economic
Development Department has developed an innovative program that joins seasoned (volunteer) professionals with
unemployed and underemployed residents to give them the job skills and the added edge to move ahead in the
workforce. The Department has also created a Retail Academy in partnership with Sheridan Technical Center to train
Hollywood residents for successful retail careers as Walmart, Margaritaville and other exciting developments bring over
1,000 new retail jobs to Hollywood. Our Finance Department and Office of Human Resources have worked together
with all three of our Unions to develop meaningful changes to our employee compensation packages that are making
us more competitive, but also more sustainable.
While we will continue to face many hard challenges, the “Talents of the Team” and their innovative solutions and interdepartmental collaborations are helping to make our City and our community better. These are only a few examples
of our “Hollywood-grown” initiatives, but I am really proud to work with all our City departments. Each plays a critical
role in making Hollywood a better, safer, prettier place for you and your families.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Festival
in Downtown Hollywood
Celebrating All Things Irish
Downtown Hollywood is transformed
into a sea of green each year on
the second Sunday in March for the
presented by the City of Hollywood
and the Hibernians of Hollywood.
This was the 16th year for this annual
event which featured a traditional float
parade at 1:00 p.m. with bagpipes and
drum corps, local marching bands,
decorated floats and folks showing
their Irish spirit in green costumes,
beads, hats and glasses.
The parade route winds its way
through downtown on Hollywood
Boulevard and Harrison Street past
spectators sharing in the fun-loving
spirit of the day by wearing green
and staking out the best spots along
the route for catching beads and
enjoying the fun. This year’s parade
Grand Marshal was Patrick Utter,
owner of Shenanigans Sports Pub
and Shenanigans Eastside Pub and
the Jr. Grand Marshal was Lauren
Bendesky, a St. Baldrick’s Foundation
Ambassador and childhood cancer
survivor. Each year the parade honors
two individuals who’ve contributed
to the Hollywood community by
selecting them as the Grand Marshal
and Jr. Grand Marshal.
The parade is followed by an Irish
themed festival of music and fun
that packs the street. This year the
internationally
recognized
music
group Gaelic Storm performed in a
rare free concert on the main stage
at Hollywood Boulevard and 19th
Avenue, finishing off an afternoon
of great music that started with UVthe U2 Tribute Show. People were
also entertained by the famous NYPD
Gaelic Storm
Emerald Society Pipe and Drum Corps
as they walked through the crowds.
Anniversary Park was transformed
into a Magic of the Emerald Isle kids
zone with games and activities.
Support this annual tradition in
Hollywood. Contact the Hibernians of
Hollywood to find out how you can get
involved.
New After-school Program Begins at McNicol Community Center
Do you know what your child is doing
after the bell rings at the end of the
school day? Keep them on the road to
success by enrolling them in an after-
school program. The City of Hollywood
offers safe, structured activities every
day after-school; allowing children the
opportunity to learn new skills. Five
Hollywood communities currently offer
after-school programs with the newest at
McNicol Community Center, 1411 South
28 Avenue. The McNicol after-school
program runs Monday – Friday from 2:00
to 6:00 p.m. The program is free for
Hollywood residents after an annual $45
registration fee and is open to children
age 5 – 12 years old.
This new program is partially funded by
a Community Development Block grant
that covers tutoring and homework
assistance provided by the Russell Life
Skills and Reading Foundation (RLSARF).
The RLSARF staff works with City staff
to provide a nurturing environment for
students to develop and learn new skills.
The goal is to foster students’ creativity,
inspire them to action, and help them
fulfill their potential.
For more information on the after-school
program, call the McNicol Community
Center at 954.921.3511.
Senior Programs Keeping People Connected
Alert minds, healthy bodies, energized
spirits—that’s what the Memorial Senior
Partners Program, for adults ages 50 and
up, is all about. Active Senior Partners is
a year-round program of diverse activities
designed to support independence and
enhance quality of life. The program is
offered at two of the City’s Community
Centers. If you think having good health is
all about eating, exercise and medicine—
think again. We all have a basic need
to feel connected to other people, and
it turns out social connections are an
important part of remaining healthy.
New friends and renewed relationships
with family can help make our older years
a time of growth and renewal. Research
has found social support is a powerful
10
influence on health outcomes, even if
your family and friends are not actively
encouraging you to make healthy lifestyle
choices. We are hard-wired to interact
with others. This is important throughout
our lives. As we grow older, losses of
those in our inner circle are more likely
and replacing that kind of support can
be a challenge. The advice of successful
agers is to get outside of ourselves and
be a support to others. The need to be a
giver of support, as well as a receiver, is
very strong and can be a factor in good
health. Through the Memorial Senior
Partners program, Memorial Healthcare
System provides a way for seniors to
remain active, increase fitness and
prevent feelings of isolation by building a
social support system.

Driftwood Aquatics Success Story
8 year old Austin Popejoy pictured with his father Joe.
Maureen and Joe Popejoy had tried to teach their
son Austin to swim several times and were just
about to give up. Then a neighbor recommended
Maureen try the swimming classes at the Driftwood
Community Pool. Four years later, her son Austin
is still swimming at the pool. She recently wrote to
the City to share her family’s success story writing,
“I hope you know the ‘gem’ you have here in West
Hollywood with the pool and its entire staff…this
excellent institution has allowed my son to ‘soar’
in his athletic abilities while leaving me with the
peace of mind that I have no worries if he goes to
a friend’s house to swim.”

Public Safety News & Tips
High-tech Crime Fighting, Police
Testing Closed Circuit Camera
License Plate Reader System
in key locations throughout the City.
There will soon be a new surveillance
tool available to the Hollywood
Police Department to help make city
streets safer. The Hollywood Police
Department is currently testing
various closed circuit TV cameras
(CCTV) and license plate readers (LPR)
along Federal highway. The testing
period is in preparation for purchasing
and installing CCTV/LPR technologies
Volunteer for
Crime Watch
Mobile Patrol Unit
The Hollywood Police Department
is committed to providing the best
possible law enforcement and crime
prevention services for every resident
and visitor in to the City.
The
The system monitors vehicle and scans
license plates as drivers pass by. The
cameras and plate readers use either
cellular modems or wireless networks
to transmit the data back to a central
point such as police headquarters,
where it can be monitored and
analyzed. Data from the LPR system
can be compiled and reviewed for
criminal activity, investigative leads,
enforcing outstanding warrants and
BOLO’s.
The initial deployment of the CCTV/
Volunteer Crime Watch Mobile Patrol is
a valuable resource to enhance these
efforts. Volunteers undergo training
and background checks to help
provide extra eyes on the lookout for
suspicious activity in neighborhoods
and commercial areas. They travel in
a marked “mobile patrol” car. During
the busy holiday shopping season,
mobile patrol volunteers participated
in Operation Reindeer frequently
patrolling the parking lot at Oakwood
Plaza shopping center. Their efforts
helped reduce the number of vehicle
burglaries for the month of December
by 70%.
LPR system will begin along the
Federal Highway corridor.
The
system will then be expanded to
approximately 40 additional locations
that have been identified throughout
the City, including along State Road
A1A on Hollywood beach and along
State Road 7. CCTV/LPR systems are
already in use in Hillsborough Beach,
Lighthouse Point and Lauderdale-bythe-Sea, as well as Boca Raton and
Delray Beach in Palm Beach County.
The additional “eyes” are another tool
Hollywood Police will soon be using to
keep residents, visitors and business
owners safe.
Training to become a Crime Watch
Mobile Patrol volunteer involves
successfully completing a 12-hour
Police instructed course. Mobile Patrol
volunteers must be willing to serve a
minimum of six (6) hours per month
to maintain active duty status.
If you have an interest in becoming a
Crime Watch Mobile Patrol Volunteer

New vehicle added to Fire Rescue & Beach Safety Fleet
The Hollywood Fire Rescue and Beach
Safety Department added a new
2014 Ford F-250 4x4 Crew Cab. The
unit is equipped with a slide out rear
incident command center that is used
during emergency operations by the
Battalion Chief. The vehicle will be an
emergency response unit for the shift
Battalion Chief. The Battalion Chief
Unit responded to just over 2,000
emergency incidents last year. The
unit was purchased with revenues
received from services provided to
the Seminole Tribe.
Meanwhile,
the vehicle previously used by the
Battalion Chief, will now be used by
the shift rescue captain.
Breaking the Crime Triangle
The three elements needed to commit a crime are: desire, ability and opportunity. Police call this the “crime triangle.”
A criminal with the “desire” to commit a crime has to have the “ability” to pull it off and the right “opportunity” to do
it. By taking away any one of these three elements, a crime cannot occur. Doors and windows left unlocked and items
left in full view in an unattended vehicle, provide an “opportunity” for anyone with criminal intent.
Make these crime prevention practices part of your routine:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Lock your car doors & be sure to close the windows
Don’t leave valuables in a vehicle
Place items out of sight BEFORE reaching your destination.
Never leave your purse unattended in your vehicle, even when pumping gas.
If you can’t take valuables with you, secure them in your vehicle in a locked glove compartment or trunk.
Avoid parking in dark, isolated areas. Park in busy, well lit areas.
Thieves like easy targets - alarms or anti-theft devices help prevent crime
Don’t store spare keys in your vehicle.
Don’t leave garage door openers in your vehicle while parked in driveway.
With a little extra effort we can all help to reduce or prevent crime. For more Crime Prevention Tips or to schedule a
free Home Security Survey, please contact the Hollywood Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit at 954.967.4316.
Partnering with Police
Everyday
WastePro,
the
City’s
garbage and recycling contractor,
has its trucks driving up and down
each street and alley throughout
Hollywood.
Each crew member
is familiar with the patterns and
routines of the neighborhoods they
work in and has been trained by the
City’s Crime Prevention Specialists to
recognize suspicious activity. These
workers are now partnering with
police to report anything they see
while on their collection routes that
appears to be out of place such as a
work vehicle backed up to someone’s
house, a bicycle left unattended in an
alleyway or even a gut feeling that
something doesn’t look right. The
crew members report the situation so
police can investigate further.
The Hollywood Police remind you that
there’s strength in numbers; you’re
invited to partner with police to help
prevent crime. If you see something
out of place in your neighborhood, call
the Police Department non-emergency
number at 954.967.HELP (4357).

Utilities
PROJECTs Update
As part of its five-year $210 million dollar Capital Improvement Program (CIP), the Department of Public Utilities is on
track with the water main and headwork replacement programs, the rehabilitation or replacement of outdated pumps,
underground pipe, and other utility-related infrastructure. Here’s an update on some of the most notable projects.
Taft
St
60”
Gravity
Sewer
Rehabilitation
One significant project in the CIP
is the Taft Street 60” Gravity Sewer
Rehabilitation Project.
The City’s
gravity sewer system uses a large
network of underground pipes to
collect wastewater from multiple
sources and carry it, by gravity, to
the wastewater treatment plant. The
main that runs along Taft Street has
severely deteriorated and is in need
of rehabilitation. The $2.6 million
project includes installing a liner
in approximately 6,168 feet of the
pipe. The liner is cured in-place to
strengthen the pipe without having
to excavate the entire route. Some
areas will be excavated where repairs
to the 60” pipe will have to be made to
replace sections of pipe, fittings, and
closure pieces. Construction began in
December 2012 and is on schedule to
be completed by June 2014.
Water Main Replacement Program
- Hollywood Blvd to Pembroke Rd
from I-95 to S 26 Ave
This project includes replacing the
water mains in this area, replacing
residential service connections and
relocating some residential service
connections that are currently located
at the rear of the property. Trenching
and pipe installation has been finished
on 28th Avenue and 29th Avenue and
the side streets between 28th and
As of February 1,
29th Avenues.
the project was approximately 40%
complete. The main water lines have
been installed along 28th and 29th
Avenues and installation is underway
on 26th Avenue south of Washington
Street.
The main lines have also
been installed on most east to west
streets. As the lines are installed,
temporary asphalt is put in place.
Each section has to undergo pressure
and bacteriological testing. As the
testing in each quadrant is completed,
the 2” blue lines seen throughout the
neighborhood will be connected to
the residences and businesses within
that area. Each quadrant will follow
the same testing and connection
procedures. This is a 2 year project
which started in August of 2013.
When 100% of the water service is
installed and tested, the areas that
were disrupted will be fully restored
and all streets and alleys will receive
new asphalt over the entire length
and width.
Headworks
Replacement
and
Rehabilitation
Construction activities began in
October 2013 at the Southern
Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant
at the east end of Taft Street; and
consists of replacing the bar screens
and rehabilitating the grit chambers.
The headworks have been in service
since the 1980’s and structural
deterioration had forced an increase
in maintenance to the systems. The
estimated completion date is July
2015.
Dixie Corridor Septic to Sewer
Conversion
Toilet Rebates Save Residents from
Flushing
Money
Away
The popular Toilet Rebate Program offered by the Department of
Public Utilities is still underway! Older toilets waste a lot of water
which is the primary reason Hollywood wants residents to be aware
of the Toilet Rebate Program. The City has provided over 1,700
rebates since the program started. “As those customers see the
money they save on their water bill every month, it also serves
as part of our education initiative,” says program coordinator, April
Taylor. The program is intended to remind residents to be conscious
about their water use and the true cost of water. Toilets are one of
the biggest water-using appliances in a home. The older a toilet is;
the more water it likely wastes. By encouraging the replacement
of these inefficient toilets with the WaterSense models that use no
more than 1.28 gallons per flush, the City moves closer to its water
conservation goals.
Grandview at Emerald Hills Condominiums is a 442 unit, 10 building
complex in the City.
Murray Durst, President, said “By simply
changing out our old, water wasting, toilets and showerheads, we
have seen an annual reduction of $20,000 on our water bill!” For
more information on this and other water conservation programs,
please visit the City’s website at hollywoodfl.org.

This project involves the installation
of approximately 12,000 feet of
gravity sewer main, 1,472 feet of
force main, 3 lift stations, manholes,
etc. The project was awarded to RicMan Construction, Inc. Construction
activities began in November 2013
and the time frame for the project
is
approximately
18
months.
Construction for the lift stations is
underway. Sewer main construction
is progressing along Dixie Highway
from Pembroke Road to Adams Street
and along N. 21st Avenue from Taft
Street to Sheridan Street. The project
is approximately 35% complete.
Gravity Sewer System Condition
Assessment and Renewal and
Replacement (Inflow/Infiltration)
Program
This project includes point repairs,
clean-out
installation,
bypass
pumping, surface restoration and TV
surveying related to the sewer system
rehabilitation program. Envirowaste
continues installing cleanouts at
various locations. Lanzo Lining is
preparing to install the 42” and
48” cured in-place pipe along 14th
Avenue, from Johnson Street to the
Wastewater Treatment Plant.
LMK
continues the installation of T-liners
at various locations, currently in the
Lakes area, Basin 13.
West Hollywood Pumping and
Storage
The project consists of installing
two 2.5 million gallon ground water
storage tanks and associated facilities
to improve water pressures and fire
flow protection in the western section
of the City. Construction activities
began in May, 2013 and continue on
schedule. The anticipated completion
date is April 2014.
The majority
of the structural work for the two
storage tanks has been completed.
Yard piping and pump station building
construction continues.
Water Main Replacement Program
– Hollywood Boulevard to Johnson
Street and Between N. 46 Ave and
N. 52 Ave
This project consists of the installation
of approximately 28,000 feet of
various size water mains, fire hydrants,
water service lines and pavement
restoration. The project was awarded
to Giannetti Contracting Corporation.
Construction began in September
2013 and the project is approximately

Deep
Injection
Well
for
Concentrate Disposal – Booster
Pump Station at Water Treatment
Plant
This project includes the installation
of pumping facilities at the Water
Treatment Plant to comply with new
state regulations. After December
31, 2025, regulations will prohibit
the discharge of domestic wastewater
through ocean outfalls, except as
a backup discharge that is part of a
functioning reuse system. The primary
viable and cost effective option for
disposal of concentrated wastewater
is considered to be a Class I Deep
Injection Well. Construction activities
began in November 2013 and will
continue until December 2014.
Scrubber System Expansion
The expansion of the Reverse Osmosis
System has prompted operational
challenges as additional raw Floridan
water treatment has increased the
amount of hydrogen sulfide being
released into the atmosphere. The
existing scrubber system is inadequate
to handle the increase in hydrogen
sulfide, which has a rotten egg smell,
so an expanded scrubber system is
needed. Construction is estimated
to take one year once the Notice to
Proceed is issued.

It’s a Toilet, Not a Trash Can!
Even if they’re small and even if
the package says “flushable,” some
everyday items can cause messy and
expensive problems for your plumbing
and the City’s sewer treatment facilities.
What does “flushable” really mean?
It only means that it will fit down the
toilet bowl. It does not mean an item
is safe for sewers or will biodegrade
in the sewer system. Sewer pipes
and treatment plants were only
designed to handle toilet paper which
disintegrates when flushed.
Products that might seem safe to
flush, such as baby wipes, personal
hygiene wipes, dental floss and paper
towels can get caught on a nick, bend
or bump within a pipe and create a
clog that could cause a costly sewer
backup in your home or neighborhood.
While utility agencies, environmentalists
and consumer advocate groups are
working with manufacturers to correct
product labeling, please make sure
you dispose of personal care products,
cleaning supplies and other household
waste properly—not by flushing them.
Fix a Leak Week March 17 – 23, 2014
In celebration of “Fix a Leak Week” the
Department of Public Utilities reminds
you to check your house for water
wasting leaks. Start by shutting off the
water in your house, then check your
water meter before and after a 2-hour
period. If the meter changes, you
probably have a leak.
According to the EPA, the average
American household wastes more than
10,000 gallons each year from easyto-fix water leaks—that’s the amount
of water needed to wash 270 loads of
laundry. Across the country, household
leaks add up to a 1 trillion gallons of
water lost every year, not to mention
the wasted energy used to treat and
pump this water!
• Aging toilet flappers are notorious
for leaking. A simple way to test
for problems is to place a drop of
food coloring in the toilet tank. If the
color shows up in the bowl, you have
a leak. Not to worry, new flappers
are inexpensive and easy to install.
• A showerhead leaking at 10 drips
per minute wastes more than 500
gallons of water per year. Most
leaky showerheads can be fixed
using plumbers tape and ensuring a
tight seal using a plumbers wrench.
• An irrigation system, with even a
small slit in the piping, can waste
about 6,300 gallons of water per
month.
Consider consulting an
irrigation specialist if you suspect a
leak. While you’re out in the yard,
check your garden hose at the
spigot. If it leaks, replace the rubber
washer to ensure a tight connection.
You can even use plumbers tape and
a wrench.

water and save money and to see our

Eagle Scout Creates Wood Duck Habitat at Joe DiMaggio Park
As a designated bird sanctuary, Hollywood
is home to hundreds of species of
migratory birds. Each winter, Wood Ducks
make the pond at Joe DiMaggio Park their
home.
City of Hollywood Park Ranger Supervisor
and Lakes resident Tom Lauridia has seen
an increase in the number of wood ducks
each winter. Last winter, Lauridia spoke
with local Eagle Scout Billy Orton about
the duck’s habitat and the success of wood
boxes the ducks use as safe place to nest
and lay their eggs.
Orton thought building the boxes would
make for a great Eagle Scout project.
“The purpose of an Eagle Scout project
is to help out the community in any
way,” said Orton. “Whether the project
is designed to benefit the city, a church,
a school, or even an individual, the sole
purpose is to make a difference.”
Orton hosted a pasta night fundraiser
which raised enough money to build four
wood duck boxes; he even had $279 left

another volunteer.
over which he donated to the Department
of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts.
The four boxes were installed last spring.
The wood ducks now have safe shelters
for laying their eggs. Additionally, the City
has recently replaced signage in the park
reminding residents that all dogs must
be leashed to protect migrating birds and
increase safety for all park visitors. Park
Ranger Lauridia is looking forward to the
day when he peeks inside one of the boxes
and sees a nest of newly hatched wood
ducks inside.

in ways he’d never imagined.
The USA Network series “Graceland”
returned to Hollywood for a second
season of production. The series follows a group of undercover agents
from various law enforcement agencies all living together in a confiscated “Southern California” beach house
known as “Graceland”.
TNT Network chose Hollywood as the

With a seemingly endless supply of
amazing locations, bright blue skies
and beautiful people it’s not hard to
see why Hollywood Florida is a popular
location for filming motion picture and
television productions. Easy access to
local crews and vendors, production

easy, one-stop permitting makes our
area a desirable filming location.
At any given time, all throughout the

will feature Giamatti as a hardboiled
and possibly insane homicide detective in what’s being described as “prechic Miami” circa 1985.

City of Hollywood Launches Cutting-Edge
Mobile App for Hollywood Trolley Riders
The City of Hollywood Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is
making public transportation more
convenient than ever with its new
free mobile app for smartphone
users riding the Hollywood Trolley.
The historic-style Hollywood Trolley
allows visitors and residents alike to
explore everything Hollywood has
to offer, from cultural activities and
much more in the historic downtown
arts, music and entertainment
district, to nature offerings on North
Beach, to dining, shopping and
recreation options on the central and
south beaches.
The cutting-edge mobile app, TSO
Mobile Hollywood Trolley, allows users
to take advantage of an entirely new
redesigned mobile online tracker that
takes trolley riders by the hand and
guides them to their next destination.
In addition, a free automated system
in English, French and Spanish
also lets those callers, who are not
smartphone-friendly, know when the
next trolley will arrive at a specific
stop. Features of the new mobile app
include route schedules and trolley
times, a real-time Trolley Tracker, an
Automated Voice Interactive System
(A.V.I.S.), detailed stop information,
and user-friendly route maps that
are constantly updating. Smartphone
users can filter their search by
selecting a specific stop number or
route, find out the nearest stops
to their current location and learn
what their best possible route is for
any location by entering a complete
address.

Free “Shredding Saturday” event for
Hollywood residents and businesses
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.
One of the most common ways
thieves hijack your identity is by going
through your garbage cans, communal dumpsters, or trash bins. They’re
searching for your discarded checks,
credit card and bank statements and
other records that may include your
name and address. Documents such
as these make it easier for criminals
to gain access to your accounts and
assume your identity.
Experts recommend shredding documents before they’re tossed in the
trash. To assist, The Office of the
City Clerk, Records and Archives Division along with International Data
Depository are hosting a free “Shredding Saturday” for all Hollywood area
residents and businesses.
Bring up to 5 boxes of your personal and business records to the Boulevard Heights Community Center,
6770 Garfield Street parking lot on
Saturday, April 26 starting at 8 a.m.
Shredding will continue until the two
trucks reach capacity.
Disks, binder clips, and other non-paper records cannot be shredded, but
staples and paper clips are acceptable. Proof of Hollywood residency
is required
For additional “Shredding Saturday”
event information, please contact

City Garage “Guides” Motorists To Available Parking
If you’ve parked on Hollywood Beach
in the City’s 403 space Garfield Parking
Garage on Connecticut Street, then you
probably noticed the new parking sign
on your way in. The City of Hollywood
has installed an electronic parking
guidance system which alerts visitors,
via individual space sensors and interior
and exterior signage, to the location and
amount of available parking spaces.
The system provides real time
availability of parking spaces with
signage at both entrances (Garfield
Street and Connecticut Street) and on
A1A. Each floor has a counter that alerts
drivers to how many available spaces
are above. The goal of this system is
to facilitate easier parking, eliminate
motorists lining up to get into the
garage, and reduce vehicle emissions by
reducing idling. An application is being
developed to allow visitors to check the
city website for parking availability via
their smart phone.
The Garfield Street Parking Garage is
open 24/7, $1.50/hr, $15 daily max.
