A Message From Mayor Peter Bober
Dear Neighbors,
Hollywood’s downtown has struggled over the years, and it has certainly not escaped my
attention. A number of factors have exacerbated the difficulties: a miserable economy, poor business
to
plans, impossibly high rents, and increased competition from venues ranging from the Hard Rock

can dine, shop and have a great time. The competition is fierce.
All of us know the economic future of Florida is far from certain, and might even get worse. With this
information in hand, one might ask: How, then, will the downtown be able to compete with pristine,
glittering venues, such as Hard Rock and Gulfstream? The inescapable conclusion is that we can’t, and
it is a waste of time even bothering to try. The playing fields are simply too different. There is simply
no sense in offering precisely the same things those venues afford. With this in mind, I will offer some
of my observations, as well as a possible solution.
My first observation is this: the downtown has never taken off because it has never had a real “scene.”
By using the word “scene,” I want to conjure up in your imagination some of the cool, funky places
that you have visited in your life: Greenwich Village; Nashville; Bourbon Street; downtown Austin.
There are countless others. You have been to such places. They are special, and you know it in your
bones as you walk around and explore. They don’t need to be fancy and have chandeliers hanging
of
from the ceiling, but they do have to have a special artsy “vibe.” Some of these beloved pieces

gone to college at the University of Texas at Austin, I can testify about the incredible live music
“scene” in downtown Austin. On any given night, you can go from club to club, and listen to blues,
bluegrass, rock-and-roll, jazz—you name it.
For our downtown to survive, we have got to carve out a niche that is completely different from
what everybody else is doing. Up until now, we have yet to do that, which is why things have not
materialized. We need our niche. We need our raison d’etre. We need to do something unique—
something no one else is doing. It is for that reason I believe our efforts should be focused towards
making Hollywood the live music capital of South Florida. That, in my opinion, is the niche to go
after, and we must pursue it relentlessly. By “live music” I mean to describe the kind of business
establishment where great musicianship is the true focus.

the City Manager
On The Cover
With the cooperation of our landlords, residents and business community, my live music initiative
is feasible in the short term. Simply put, there is no centralized hub for live music in South Florida.
Sure, there are plenty of cool live music venues here and there. However, if a tourist got off a plane
and asked the concierge where one could find some good live music, they would probably be directed
to a particular place as opposed to a defined location. Understanding this difference is essential. Live

of whom agree this plan is something that could actually work within our quaint and unique downtown
environment.

provided face painting and music. Through everyone’s efforts we
raised $5000 and had no expenses—how great is that!
We are very focused on the streets between Johnson and Taft, 17th
to 15th Avenues. In this area, we are replanting and cleaning up
the medians. Also, we have made improvements to the corner
of Polk Street and North 17th Avenue adjacent to the Hollywood
Beach Golf Course. We installed a concrete table and benches
that we can later have artists decorate with mosaics for a creative
environment. Beautiful trees, bougainvilleas and native plants
completed the beautification. Our volunteers worked hand in hand
with the City’s public services employees to make this happen.
The best part is we used $900 and
still have monies to continue our
efforts. We hope everyone will
support our efforts by improving and
maintaining their own homes.

City Financial Picture
On Wednesday, May 18, the City
Commission declared a state of
financial urgency. That means the
City is in a situation where it has to
make some immediate changes to
fend off serious financial problems.
In the upcoming fiscal year, we
are facing a $25 million dollar gap
between expected revenues and
expenditures. We are required by law
to balance our budget so changes are
required. Though this is a short term
Commissioner predicament, it is compounded by long

term liabilities. We have unfunded
liabilities (monies owed but no cash on hand) of over $800 million
dollars from pension and health care obligations. These require a
debt service (interest) of nearly $25 million dollars a year. This has
begun to seriously undermine our operating budget. Continuing in
this same vein would be financially irresponsible. Therefore, we
have declared financial urgency and have asked all our employee
unions to come back to the table and negotiate, in good faith, new
contracts which would be acceptable and sustainable.
As I read about cities across the United States having trouble meeting
their budgets, I am aware that this may be one of those historical
shifts that we are living through. Government, as we have known
it, may have to change. I know the City of Hollywood is going to
have to decide what services are and are not important to provide to
the citizens. Which ones are
optional?

Safer Homes and Communities
Commissioner
Heidi O’Sheehan
Several years ago, at
the first public debate
of my campaign for
City Commission, I was
asked what I felt was the
most important concern
of residents in District 3.
My answer was simple
and I believe still holds
true today, I believe the
most important issue for
residents in District 3 is
the peaceful enjoyment
of their homes. What
does that mean?
First and foremost I believe it means that you want to
feel personally safe in your home and neighborhood and
you want to feel that your home and property are safe
both when you are there and when you are not. Secondly,
I think it means you and your neighbors maintain at least
a minimum level of property standards allowing you to
enjoy the beauty of your block and neighborhood and
also allowing property values to remain strong.
Sadly, recent years have seen significant deteriorations
in both of these areas. Recognizing that these are two
of the most important quality of life issues, not only
4
for District 3, but throughout Hollywood; our City
Manager, Cameron Benson, recently combined Code
Enforcement with the Police Department. This move
is already paying dividends. When Code and Police
sweep a neighborhood together, they are able to
address issues of code violations and crime together.
A recent sweep of just a small portion of District 3
resulted in 250 violations and one arrest.
While this unified Code and Police presence
is a step in the right direction, there are other
ways in which we can help improve our own
neighborhoods.
These include Crime Watch
and Mobile Crime Patrol. Through these two
programs we can increase the visible presence of
eyes on our community. Criminals and vandals
seek easy targets. The more they come to learn
we are watching for them, the less likely they will
be to target our neighborhoods. If you would
be interested in serving as a Crime Watch Block
Captain, on the Mobile Patrol or would like more
information about either of these programs, please
contact my office at 954.921.3321 or via e-mail
at hosheehan@hollywoodfl.org. I am convinced
these two programs offer us the best means of
taking back our community and I welcome you to
join me in this effort.

Each spring, during Public Service Recognition Week, these
committees participate in a planning exercise for the next
year. On May 5, there were over 225 people in attendance.
Committee members, as well as members of the business
community, our Youth Council and civic associations met to
begin the planning process. Their challenge was to look at
what the City would look like 15 years from now.
I sat in on one committee, and while their ideas were very
good, the ability to communicate with our residents was
overlooked until someone mentioned that by 2026, even
fewer people would be reading newspapers. Social media and
the use of technology will be how it’s done. Which raises
the question: how long will this publication,
New Horizons, survive? Who is reading it?
How else are our residents getting news and
information? Is our website all it should be?
My guess is that New Horizons, as we know it,
will be replaced or supplemented by something
faster, more illustrated, more informative and
much more timely. Wait and see.

Commissioner Our Commission has approved a
contract with Barry University to open
Linda Sherwood a satellite campus for students seeking
their master’s degree in Health Sciences. If this goes well, we can
look forward to hopefully enticing more of their programs to come to
our downtown area. This first step will make a great impact on the
Royal Poinciana neighborhood. It will begin to change the face of
this blighted neighborhood.
On April 30th, District 6 had an amazing 150 volunteers organized
by the non-profit “Rebuilding Together Broward County, Inc.”

inspiring to meet these men and women who sacrificed their time and
energy to help families in need. The volunteers came from all over
Broward and a couple actually drove from Orlando.
In Washington Park, the Offices for the Community Enhancement

Public Safety Sweep
Launched to tackle code violations
and quality of life crimes
The Hollywood Police Department started a public safety sweep in April aimed at cleaning
up neighborhoods and preventing neighborhood crime. The sweep is one of the first
initiatives of the newly reorganized Code Enforcement Division which is now under the
Hollywood Police Department Special Operations Section.
The public safety sweep kicked off at the Southeast Public Safety Complex on Federal
Highway. Police and Code officers began working along the Federal Highway corridor
from Pembroke Road north to Sheridan Street and over the following weeks worked west
to cover neighborhoods throughout the City.
As part of the reorganization of code enforcement initiated by City Manager Cameron D.
Benson, code officers are now working more closely with the police officers assigned to
specific neighborhoods to serve as Neighborhood Team Leaders (NTL’s). NTL’s proactively
address public safety and quality of life issues through outreach to residents and business
owners.
The City’s 20 code enforcement officers, supervisors and support staff are now based out of
the Hollywood Police Department, 3250 Hollywood Boulevard, 2nd floor. Residents with
code concerns can contact the Code Enforcement Division at 954.921.3061.

founder, Joseph Young, back in the mid 1920’s.
In 2007, the first two phases of the renovation
of the downtown park were completed. The
amphitheater project was the final phase
in the transformation of Young Circle into
an ArtsPark featuring numerous visual and
performing arts classes, exhibitions and
performances. The 9,750 square foot outdoor
theater features a 60’ x 40’ main stage area

Florida
Communities Workshop
How can cities use cultural offerings to support
economic development, attract businesses and create
jobs? That was the basis for a workshop hosted by
the Florida League of Cities (FLC) and attended by
several members of the Hollywood City Commission
in April.
As one of FLC President Joy Cooper’s initiatives,
the workshop was created to focus on the tools and
knowledge needed for cities to maximize cultural
assets during difficult economic times helping to
create jobs and other development opportunities. The
workshop, held in Fort Lauderdale, brought together
city officials, staff, business leaders, representatives
from the arts and cultural sector and local foundations.
Hollywood City Commissioners Linda Sherwood,
Richard Blattner and Patricia Asseff all participated
in the discussion. Additional workshops have been
held throughout the state. For additional information,

Message from
the city manager
The City’s Budget
At-A-Glance
Dear Residents,
Many of you may have read in the local
newspapers that the Hollywood City
Commission has declared financial
urgency, a legal declaration provided for
by state statute that allows the City to open
up negotiations with our employee unions
and make changes in pay and benefits to
the collectively bargained agreements
currently in place.
The Basics
The City’s overall adopted budget for fiscal year (FY) 2011* is
$352.6 million. A municipal budget is made up of several different
types of funds. The General Fund is the largest fund and by
definition, all services not specifically funded by other sources such
as the Water and Sewer Fund or the Parking Fund, are funded by the
General Fund. The adopted General Fund budget for the current
fiscal year is $174.1 million. This was a .2% decrease from 2010.
Cameron D. Benson
The City of Hollywood has struggled with five straight years of
revenue reductions at a time when our expenses, particularly the cost
of benefits to our personnel, continue to increase. During this time,
we have taken steps to offset this imbalance, but national, state and
local economic conditions continue to make this an uphill battle.
When we last negotiated contracts with the three unions representing
City employees back in 2009, we made adjustments to pay and
benefits that outside experts calculated would potentially save the
City an estimated $485 million over the next 20 years and would
reduce personnel costs by $23.9 million during the course of the 3
year contracts. While progress was made, it has not been enough to
ensure the firm financial footing of the City into the future. Part of
the problem is nearly every source of revenue the City depends on to
operate is in decline—from property tax revenue to utility taxes to
building permits and sales taxes.
We are now working through the process outlined in state law for
cases of financial urgency. As difficult as this process is, with more
than 75% of most city government’s budgets spent on personnel,
we need the help of our unions to address the City’s budgetary
challenges. Additionally, we need our residents to consider the value
of the numerous services the City provides, from excellent police and
fire protection to high quality parks and recreational activities to clean
beaches and even street lighting. After all, the job of a City is to
provide services and we cannot fulfill that mission without the proper
funding and personnel.
Beyond working with our unions, we are also exploring all possibilities
to increase revenue and reduce expenditures. As we make these
decisions, it is with a constant eye on the safety of our workers, the
quality of life of our residents and the need to position our City for
future economic success. These are serious matters and I can assure
you as your City Manager, we are working hard to fix our budgetary
imbalances and develop long-term solutions for our City.
The City Commission workshop to review the Fiscal Year 2012
proposed operating budget will be held on July 7 from 3:30 to 5:30
p.m. in the City Commission Chamber. During this workshop, we
will present various options for the Commission to consider when
setting the not-to-exceed (NTE) millage rate for next year. The
opportunity for the public to provide input on the NTE rate will come
the following week as the Commission considers this agenda item
during their second meeting in July which is scheduled for July 13th
at 1:00 p.m. As always, the participation and input of our residents
is valued.
FY 2011 Budget Outlook
On May 18th, the City’s Budget Director and Finance Director
provided a report to the City Commission showing shortfalls in
projected revenues for the year and increases in projected expenses
totaling just over $8.5 million. These projections would leave a
balance of less than $1 million in the City’s general fund at the end
of the year.
The Commission adopted a resolution to transfer unspent money
out of a number of general fund accounts. This action limits most
general fund spending and creates a special reserve account of just
over $2 million to help build back the balance in the City’s general
fund at the end of the year. Additionally, the Commission invoked
Financial Urgency as allowed under state statutes to assist in addressing
the fiscal challenges of FY 2011 by reopening union contracts.
Hollywood has loan agreements that require the City to maintain
a minimum balance in the general fund of 5% of the total general
fund budget (approximately $8.7 m). If the City drops below this
balance it could negatively impact the City’s bond ratings and its
ability to borrow money.
FY 2012 Budget Outlook
The budget gap between projected revenues and projected
expenditures for fiscal year 2012 is estimated at $25 million. Under
current conditions, expenses are expected to grow significantly
because of personnel costs (salaries, health care and employer
pension contributions) and revenues will continue to decline with a
slow recovery anticipated to last another two years.
Steps to Close the Gap
To deal with this gap, the City Manager initiated a city-wide hiring
freeze (with some exceptions for public safety) on May 1, 2011.
Additionally, a number of departments have been reorganized for
greater operational accountability and efficiency. The Departments
of Public Utilities and Public Works have now been combined into
a single Department of Public Services. The Code Compliance
division has been reorganized under the Hollywood Police
Department. Finally, the Department of Information Technology
and the Office of Budget and Procurement Service have been
reorganized under the Department of Financial Services and
has been renamed the Department of Finance and Information
Technology. This reorganization consolidates all fiscal operations
under one Department streamlining the oversight of revenue and
expenditure tracking.
The Commission invoked financial urgency for FY 2012 and
opened up negotiations with the City’s union representatives. A FY
2012 Commission budget workshop will be held July 7 from 3:30
to 5:30 in the City Commission Chambers.
*The City operates on a fiscal year for accounting purposes which
starts on October 1st and ends on September 30th.

Public Service Recognized in May
One Team…One Goal was the theme for the
City of Hollywood’s celebration of National
Public Service Recognition Week held May
1-7. Since 1985, governments across the
country have recognized the contributions of
public servants during the first full week in
May.
Each year, the City of Hollywood’s Office
of Human Resources and Risk Management
along with the Public Service Recognition
Week Committee organizes a series of events.
This year, the week kicked-off with dozens of
employees taking part in the Cystic Fibrosis
Great Strides Walk on Hollywood Beach
to raise money for research and treatment.
Later in the week, employees participated in
a health fair that emphasized wellness.
Manager Cameron D. Benson presented
the City’s highest employee award, the
Diamond Service Award, to David Vazquez,
Assistant Parks and Athletics Manager. The
Team Diamond Award went to the Steering
Committee for Organizational Culture
Change—a group of employees who help
guide the City’s Strategic Plan. The final
award of the week, the Cameron D. Benson
Leadership Award, was presented to Kristina
Fausel, who serves as the advisor to the
City’s Revenue Enhancement network.
Fausel helped institute a partnership with
the Broward County Property Appraiser’s
Office to ensure the full collection of taxes on
properties that should not have a homestead
property tax exemption resulting in additional
revenue for the City.
The week also provided an opportunity to
recognize some of the City’s outstanding
employees.
During the regular City
Commission meeting on May 4, City
A workshop attended by employees,
residents, business owners and local middle
and high school students who serve on the
City’s Youth Council was held to develop
recommendation for helping the City
live up to its vision statement: “To be a
welcoming, vibrant, sustainable destination
City.” Participants came up with initiatives
for achieving results in five priority areas:
preserving life and property, safeguarding the
environment, strong communities, economic
development and exceptional governance.
The final event of the week was the annual
Police and Fire Open House. For the first
time, this popular event was held at the City’s
new 56th Avenue Public Safety Training
Facility. Hundreds turned out to get a
close-up view of the top-notch equipment
and specialized skills of Hollywood Police
Officers and Firefighter/Paramedics.
From the steps of the Capitol to the smallest
towns, Public Service Recognition Week is a
time for citizens to learn more about the work
of public employees and recognize the many
ways, both big and small, their efforts impact
quality of life.
Showcasing Hollywood’s
Police and Fire Departments
The Annual Police and Fire Open House features a rope rapelling
demonstration by the SWAT team, K-9 demonstration and motorcycle unit close proximity handling demonstration.
People got a chance to see what it’s like to handle a charged a
hose line. Youngsters had fun adding their creative touches to
a fire hydrant.
Help from the Hollywood Council of Civic Associations:
Building Strong Neighborhoods
In March, the Hollywood Council of Civic Associations (HCCA) partnered with the City of Hollywood’s Department of Community
Development to host a Neighborhood Forum at the Fred Lippman Multipurpose Center. This forum was designed to spark new interest in civic
association participation and give those already involved in neighborhood issues new tools and ideas for making their associations even more
effective. More than 100 residents attended.
“We know we have a great deal to accomplish in our City, yet we have many talented, experienced residents who are committed to bring the
change we want to create,” said Sara Case, HCCA President. “Remember that you build a neighborhood association one neighbor at a time.”
The Hollywood Council of Civic Associations is available to provide advice and assistance on challenges civic associations may be facing in
the City. The Council has committed to creating a panel of civic association leaders, city staff and any other appropriate experts to assist civic
associations in the following ways:
• Neighborhood Outreach
• Tax Exemption
• E-mail and Social Networking
• Marketing your Association
• Website Development
• Starting or Retooling an Association
• Financial Planning for your Association
• Participating in City Affairs
• Grant Writing
For help, here’s how to reach the HCCA: Mel Pollak, 954.966.9410 or Sara Case, 954.925.2905, or e-mail board@hccacentral.org.

Lippman Multipurpose Center
Gets a Face Lift
The Fred Lippman Multipurpose Center,
located at 2030 Polk Street, recently
reopened after extensive interior and exterior
renovations. This recreation center caters
primarily to seniors and has been a mainstay
in the City’s park system for decades. It is
home to a variety of clubs, dances, meetings
and recreation based activities.
The Center’s auditorium was completely
renovated to include a new VCT floor, wall
treatments including sound baffles, adjustable
and efficient lighting systems and expanded
storage for tables and chairs. The adjacent
restrooms were retiled and equipped with
new fixtures. They were also brought up to
today’s ADA standards to accommodate those
with physical challenges.
The adjoining kitchen was expanded by three
feet on the west side. All new equipment
was installed, including a new stainless
steel stove, sink system and work tables. A
refrigerator and freezer were installed along
with expanded storage for supplies and
materials belonging to several center user
groups. New fire suppression equipment was
included along with a renovated flooring and
ramp system.
The lobby was completely refurbished with
new wall coverings, tile floor, furniture
and a big screen TV to give it a bright open
look. The adjacent hallways were retiled and
repainted. The offices and classrooms are
being repainted with in-house labor as part of
the program.
On the exterior, new storm proof, energy
efficient doors and windows were installed
which will help conserve energy. Planters
with vine ladders have been installed on the
Polk Street side. The entry side has a new
architectural feature that expands the porch
roof and coupled with new identifying
lettering, gives the building a brand new look.
The exterior color scheme ties into the
recently renovated Shuffleboard Center
located across the street from the Lippman
Center. That facility recently had new shade
awnings installed, a new paint scheme and
other exterior renovations. The two combined
projects give the complex at Polk and 21st
Avenue a new, fresh look and will serve the
citizens and visitors to Hollywood for many
years to come.
Hollywood Park Renamed for Bob Butterworth
The park located at the corner of Washington Street and 52nd Avenue now has a new
name—Bob Butterworth Park—in honor of long-time Florida Attorney General and
Hollywood resident Robert A. Butterworth.
Earlier this year, the Hollywood City Commission voted to rename Washington Street
Park in recognition of Mr. Butterworth and his service to the residents of Hollywood,
Broward County and the State of Florida. The park was created using funding
from the 2004 voter
approved
general
obligation bond. The
City-owned parcel
was transformed into
a passive park with
the addition of fencing, benches, a walking path, lighting and game tables. The
center of the park features a beautiful, ficus tree with numerous flowering trees
throughout the perimeter of the park.
Mr. Butterworth served as the 33rd Attorney General of Florida for four
consecutive terms under three governors. He was first elected in 1986 and
reelected in 1990, 1994 and 1998. He also served as sheriff of Broward County
and was a judge in the county and circuit courts of Broward County.
Calling All Artists
Many visitors to City Hall comment on the beautiful artwork hung throughout the building.
The artwork on display in City Hall, the Fred Lippman Multi-purpose Center and the
ArtsPark’s Visual Arts Pavilion is selected by a group of artists and art enthusiasts appointed
by the City Commission to serve on the Artwork Selection Committee.
Artists from across the region and state are invited to submit photographs of their work to
the selection committee for consideration for exhibition. The displays enliven the walls at
City Hall and help provide exposure to new and emerging artists. If you are a Florida artist
interested in applying, please call the ArtsPark at 954.921.3500.

This Summer at the
Art and Culture Center of Hollywood
BMX Artist and Pioneer Coming This
Summer to Hollywood
for Humphrey’s exhibition, along with
shows by Ed Templeton and Michael
O’Brien, is Friday, June 17 from 6 to 9
p.m. at the Center. Members are free;
non-members pay $10. Humphrey will
attend the opening reception with Hicks
and surfer/photographer O’Brien.
These exhibitions are on display at
the Center’s galleries from Saturday,
June 18 through Sunday, Aug. 14. On
Saturday, June 18, from noon to 4 p.m.,
the Center will host a special event with
Humphrey and Hicks that highlights
them participating in BMX demos inside
the Center at select times. Outside the
Center, the “South Florida Old School
BMX Faction” will present BMXrelated fun and educational activities,
including a documentary on the early
days of BMX. They will build a custom
Hoffman Bicycles “Loyalty” BMX
bike piece-by-piece then raffle off the
just-completed bicycle to a lucky youth
between 10 and 16 years old. Afterward,
they’ll provide demos of the foundation
of BMX freestyle tricks. Refreshments
will be available. This event is free to
Center members, while non-members
will pay $10.
This summer, the Art and Culture Center
of Hollywood features the exhibition “Fast
Forward,” a gallery installation by artist
and freestyle BMX rider Ryan Humphrey
that includes a special event with BMX
pioneer Dizz Hicks. The opening reception
New York-based contemporary artist
Humphrey incorporates BMX bikes in
dynamic 2- and 3-dimensional works. His
“Fast Forward” exhibition features a largescale, floor-to-ceiling installation in which
BMX bikes are attached to the gallery wall.
The installation includes a massive wraparound rug created by Humphrey, a collection
of bike-inspired paintings and mixed-media
pieces and three interpretations of Marcel
Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel (1913) set against
BMX bike ramps.
Skateboard legend and internationally
recognized artist Ed Templeton’s photography
exhibition, “The Seconds Pass,” chronicles
his travels over 15 years around Los Angeles,
Paris, Moscow, London, Barcelona and
elsewhere. Usually shot through the window
of a moving car, Templeton’s pictures
represent what is found between point A and
point B. This exhibition is a reflection of
poignant, but banal moments in day-to-day
life that reflect our urban society.
Key-West based artist Michael O’Brien loves
the ocean. Surfing for 35 years, O’Brien
has surfed from California to the entire East
Coast, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, the
Mexican Pipeline, and of course, the north
shore of Oahu. His work in the exhibition
“Impact Zone” is an expression of 20 years
with a camera out in the surf.
As part of these exhibitions, children will be
able to customize their own BMX bicycle
plate (for a nominal fee) and participate in
other visual art activities in the Center’s
Project Room. For more information, call
954.921.3274 or visit ArtAndCultureCenter.
org. We look forward to seeing you at the
Center this summer!

Water Tower
Rehabilitation
Completed
For the first time in its more than 50 year existence, the Hollywood water
tower adjacent to I-95 is visible at night. Rehabilitation work on the tower
was completed in May. The water tank can store up to 1,000,000 gallons of
water.
Due to corrosion, the tank was emptied for repair. The work included
structural repairs, sandblasting and re-coating both the interior and exterior
of the tank. Approximately every 10 years the tank must be fully refurbished. As part of required maintenance of the tower, the tank exterior
surfaces required a new application of industrial grade paint coatings. The coatings included a new graphic design featuring an underwater scene
including Loggerhead turtles, French grunt fish and “Visit Hollywood Florida” lettering. Additionally, (2) time/temperature clocks and new tank
lighting were added to allow for night time visibility of the water tank structure and graphics.
Hollywood Green
S.W.E.E.P.
Solar Wind Energy
Efficiency Project
Now Underway
Solar and wind energy will soon help power
City Hall, Fire Stations 74 and 105, and the
Hollywood Beach Culture and Community
Center.
The City officially launched
Hollywood Green S.W.E.E.P. (Solar Wind
Energy Efficiency Project) during Earth Week.
The project includes the installation of solar
panels and wind turbines on City buildings to
reduce energy costs and promote renewable
energy technologies.
The City received a $1.3 million grant through
the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block
Grant Program as part of the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act to fund the project. The
solar panels will be capable of generating 140
kW of solar photovoltaic capacity and the wind
turbines will add another 4kW. New energy
efficient reflective cool roofs are also being
installed at City Hall and the Hollywood Beach
Culture and Community Center.
The goal is to reduce the City’s energy costs,
reduce the City’s carbon footprint, and promote
the use of renewable energy technologies.
The City of Hollywood partnered with
Energy Systems Group (ESG), to develop this
renewable energy project. Once it’s completed,
the City’s website, www.hollywoodfl.org,
will link visitors to the Hollywood S.W.E.E.P.
webpage where they can view in real time
the amount of wind and solar energy being
generated at the four facilities.
Columbus Parkway Beautification Project Completed
The three traffic circles along Columbus Parkway are ready for their close-up. As part of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan, the circles
received a makeover.
Crepe Myrtle trees, Bulnesia trees, Lantana, Beauty Berry, White Plumbago, Flax Lily, Purple Fountain Grass and St. Augustine Grass were
used to beautify the circles and medians. Additionally, solar powered landscape lighting was installed. In April, a ribbon cutting ceremony
was held to celebrate the completion of this neighborhood improvement project.

Utilities
PROJECTs Update
The Department of Public Services is
continuing its five year plan to upgrade the
City’s utilities infrastructure.
Water Distribution System Upgrades
The City of Hollywood’s Department
of Public Services (DPS) Water Main
Replacement Program has replaced over
6,000 linear feet of existing water mains. The
size of the replaced pipelines ranges from
4-inch water service lines to 12-inch mains.
The Department implemented projects in
several locations throughout the City based
on the Water System Master Plan to address
the overall deterioration of the pipes due
to age and documented and repeated water
main breaks.
Collection/Transmission Rehabilitation
and Upgrades
The Department of Public Services (DPS)
continues with the implementation of the
Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) Reduction Program.
Using funds obtained from the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
and the professional services of three general
contracting companies, the City has been
able to fully rehabilitate approximately
over 50,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer
pipelines ranging from 8-inches to 48-inches
in diameter. Through the I/I Reduction
Program, the DPS has also rehabilitated
220 sewer manholes of different depths and
diameters. The overall goal of the current I/I
Reduction Program is to eliminate on average
about 2.5 million gallons a day (mgd) of
water from storms and run-off that infiltrates
the collection system; to date, the program
has eliminated approximately 1.8 mgd.
Most of the construction activities for the I/I
Reduction Program are being implemented
within the Hollywood Lakes Areas; however,
the program is also addressing suspect areas
within Hollywood Hills and Emerald Lakes.
McKinley Street Interceptor
To date, approximately 3,000 linear feet of
the new 66 inch interceptor has been installed.
This includes the area between North 14th
Avenue and Federal Highway. Tunneling
operations beneath Federal Highway are
underway. Restoration of the roadway and
right-of-way between 15th Avenue and 17th
Avenue has been completed. The side streets
(North 14th to North 17th) that were affected
by the project between Arthur Street and Taft
Street are now open to all traffic. The pipe
has been installed from Federal Highway to
21st Avenue (the Dixie Corridor).
Intracoastal Waterway Piping Replacement
Lift Station E-2 & E-3
The general contractor, ManCon Inc., has
completed the piping installation at Holland
Park and at Johnson Street. Final restoration
is underway.
Lift Station E-3
All directional drilling and open cut work
has been completed on Washington Street
and Azalea Terrace. Final piping connections
have been cleared by the regulatory agencies.
For a comprehensive list of CIP projects, visit www.hollywoodfl.org. If you have specific questions about any projects or
would like to request a copy of the Investing In Our Future DVD, please call the City of Hollywood Department of Public
Services project information line at 954.921.3579, or e-mail h2oprogram@hollywoodfl.org.
Get Cash Back for Conserving Water
Have you been thinking about replacing your
old toilet? Now is your opportunity. Qualified
residents can receive up to $100 cash back
with the City of Hollywood’s Retrofit Toilet
Rebate Program!
Toilets are the third highest water using item
in the home, behind showers and washing
machines. To help our customers conserve
water, the City of Hollywood Department
of Public Services is offering this rebate
program to benefit customers who wish to
purchase and install new, more efficient
toilet fixtures. To get started select a new
toilet with a WaterSense label. These fixtures
are designated by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency to use 20% less water
than the current federal standard, while still
providing equal or superior performance.
Only toilets that meet rigorous criteria for
both performance and efficiency can earn the
WaterSense label.
As part of the Department of Public Services
water conservation program, the retrofit toilet
rebate program targets residential customers
with high volume, inefficient toilets in their
homes. A typical household of four, that
replaces older fixtures could save as much as
20,000 gallons of water a year.
Hurry! Funds are limited! Customers are
eligible for these rebates on a first-come, firstserved basis. To participate, residents must
be a customer of the City of Hollywood’s
water service and have an individual meter.
The homeowner is responsible for installation
costs; however, no permits or plumbers are
required for a simple installation.
For complete details on the Retrofit Toilet

Bringing Recreation
to Residents
McNicol Middle School Project
This past December, the City of Hollywood
entered into an agreement with the School
Board of Broward County (SBBC) to allow
the community to use the recreational space
at McNicol Middle School during non-school
hours. After many years of discussion and
efforts by the civic association, School Board
Member Ann Murray assisted in bringing this
project to fruition.
“Our
2005

initial request was for lights back in
or 2006. Since then there have been
different school board members who
helped with this, but member Murray
really help to finalize the deal,” says District
2 City Commissioner Beam Furr. “This
has been one of the largest areas in the City
without a park and now this will become a
place for kids in the neighborhood to play that
is right near their homes.”
The 25-year agreement requires the addition
of lighting and fencing. The SBBC set aside
$80,000 to light the recreation fields and is
managing the construction project for both
the fencing and the lighting. The City of
Hollywood agreed to split the $10,000 cost for
fencing to help address the need for a separate

school access area. The City also agreed to
pay for the electricity needed for the field
lighting and to provide recreation supervision
for the times the area is open to the public.
When the improvements are completed, the
Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Arts will host a celebration for the community
and recognize all those involved with the
project.
City of Hollywood Wins First Place in the National
League of Cities Cultural Diversity Awards Program
The National League of Cities (NLC) has
recognized the City of Hollywood with a
first place award in its 2011 City Cultural
Diversity Awards Program for cities with a
population of 100,001 to 400,000. The award
recognizes the City of Hollywood’s Strategic
Planning Diversity Network in fostering
a workforce that recognizes and values
diversity. City Manager Cameron D. Benson
accepted the award at the League’s Celebrate
Diversity Breakfast held in Washington,
D.C. on Monday, March 14, 2011.
“Hollywood’s diversity is one of the City’s
biggest strengths. By incorporating it into
our strategic planning initiatives, we have
seen measurable progress in the diversity of
our workforce and the awareness of the value
of diversity,” says City Manager Cameron
Benson. “We try to celebrate the City’s
diversity in everything we do from business
development to hiring to parks and recreation
programming.”
City

Hollywood
administration
implemented a Strategic Plan eight years
ago to promote employee participation in
developing innovative ways to enhance the
work environment and the delivery of City
services and programs. The Strategic Plan
encompasses ten focus areas—Diversity is
one of those areas.
Sponsored by the National Black Caucus
of Local Elected Officials (NBC-LEO)
of the National League of Cities, the City
Cultural Diversity Awards Program was
developed to encourage citizen involvement
in local government-sponsored activities;
and enhance and show the appreciation
of cultural diversity as a way of life in our
municipalities. The awards are given to
honor community leadership in developing
creative and effective programs to improve
cultural diversity.
Barry University to Come to Downtown Hollywood
College of Health Sciences students to provide free health screenings
Students seeking their degrees in anesthesiology and biomedical sciences will soon be attending classes at Barry University’s all new downtown
Hollywood campus. In May, the City Commission approved a plan to convert the 10,000-square-foot vacant fire station at 421 N. 21st Avenue
into a satellite campus for Barry’s College of Health Sciences.
To fund the needed renovations to the old fire station, the City will loan $1.2 million to the University from federal Neighborhood Stabilization
Program grant dollars from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This loan will be repaid by the University and the
Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency-Downtown District over the next ten years. Neighborhood Stabilization program dollars
are allowed to boost business in struggling neighborhoods. HUD officials are particularly supportive of the use of the national economic
development strategy referred to as “Eds and Meds,” targeting the higher education and medical fields, two areas that seem to be recession
proof. University students will provide free health programs for seniors at the nearby Fred Lippman Multi-purpose Center. The first classes
are expected to start in January 2012.

Get Involved in
Crime Watch
One of the most effective ways to prevent
crime is through active citizen involvement
in crime prevention. The Hollywood Police
Department is encouraging residents to
get involved in the Citizens’ Crime Watch
program. Along with Crime Watch, the
Police Department is also looking for new
volunteers to add and expand the Citizen
Crime Watch Mobile Patrol Program.
To help recruit new crime watch volunteers
and expand participation in the mobile patrol,
the Hollywood Police Department has hired a
part-time Crime Watch Coordinator. The new
coordinator is Dave Elgersma, a retired thirty
year veteran of the Department who is now
assigned to the Crime Prevention Unit.
Citizens’ Crime Watch teaches members
techniques to reduce the risk of being
victimized at home, in their vehicles and in
public places. It also trains members on the
importance of recognizing and evaluating
suspicious activities and properly reporting
them to the Police. Citizens’ Crime Watch
organizes neighborhoods of single family
homes, apartments and condominiums
throughout Hollywood establishing phone
and e-mail chains to improve communication
and providing information on crime trends,
crime prevention and
personal safety.
Crime Watch signs may
be posted at the entrances
of participating blocks or
neighborhoods.
Block
Captains are elected by
the participants and Crime
Watch Advisory Board
members are responsible
for specific areas of the
City. Currently there are
20 Crime Watch Advisory
Board members appointed
by the Hollywood City
Commission. The Crime Watch Advisory
Board meets on the first Tuesday of each
month at Hollywood Police Department’s 1st
floor classroom at 7:00 p.m. These meeting
are open to the public and everyone with an
interest in public safety is invited to attend.
Participation in Crime Watch is free.
You may also want to get involved with the
Citizens’ Mobile Patrol Force that is staffed
by certified volunteers and helps provide
an additional public safety presence in our
neighborhoods to watch for unusual activity.
Members wear an official Police Department
uniform shirt and drive vehicles marked
as Citizens Crime Watch Mobile Patrol.
They patrol all areas of Hollywood and are
directed to certain areas when a crime trend is
identified. Members must be at least 18, live
in Hollywood and complete an application,
waiver and background check. They also must
take a training course and not be convicted of
any felony.
Any Hollywood citizen interested in
participating in Citizens’ Crime Watch or
the Citizens’ Mobile Patrol should contact
the Crime Prevention Unit at 954.967.4314
or e-mail Crime Watch Coordinator, Dave
Elgersma at delgersma@hollywoodfl.org.
The Glades is Back
Season two of the hit A&E original scripted drama series The Glades, starring Matt Passmore, Kiele Sanchez,
Carlos Gomez and Michelle Hurd, is filming throughout Hollywood. This quirky crime drama uses the Art
and Culture Center of Hollywood as the exterior of its police station. It also has filmed at several homes in
the Hollywood Lakes neighborhood. Passmore stars Jim Longworth, a brilliant homicide detective with a
reputation for being difficult. The Glades airs each Sunday at 10 p.m. on A&E.

HOLLYWOOD CRA NEWS
New Side-Streets Unveiled
on Hollywood Beach
Real change is literally underfoot on Hollywood Beach. The Hollywood
CRA is in the midst of Phase II of its ambitious undergrounding of utilities
and streetscape improvements project, which will transform every sidestreet and street-end from Minnesota down to Tyler Street.
Public improvements are beautifying Hollywood Beach one block at a time,
as unsightly utility lines along the side-streets are buried underground
and covered with decorative pavers. Upgrades are being made to lighting
and landscaping, broken sidewalks are being replaced and gorgeous new
street-ends are being unveiled, each with unique features to create new landmarks and visual attractions.
Residents and visitors alike can follow the project’s progress as these public changes are implemented, bringing the bigger
picture into sharper focus with each new brick and conduit. As newly completed streets open to the public, you can see curious
locals and visitors venturing down freshly paved streetscapes, where not too long ago there was cracked pavement and pot-holes.
Already, plans are underway for the next phase of this overhaul of Hollywood Beach’s 52 side-streets. Phase III, which will
would go from Oklahoma Street to New Mexico Street, is in the planning stage. Construction will start within the next 18
months. Phase IV, from Harrison Street to Magnolia Street, will follow sometime in 2014.
HOT TV Commercial, Visit Florida video
promote Destination Hollywood
The ArtsPark amphitheatre’s grand opening and other downtown happenings are being featured in the new Hollywood Office
of Tourism TV commercials. One spot promoted the ArtsPark amphitheatre’s debut festivities, another will include information
on the downtown’s monthly ArtWalk, and a third version will promote Funtastic Fridays for Kids. These spots are designed to
promote the downtown and beach as a destination for drive-market audiences across the state. The overall TV campaign will
also target national feeder markets outside the state throughout the summer, in conjunction with web, radio and print media
advertising oriented toward families seeking an authentic Florida vacation experience.
Hollywood recently received a key endorsement from Visit Florida Insider Jill Martin, whose article and video about Hollywood
as a family vacation hot-spot will appear in prominent destination features throughout the year. Hollywood residents and
businesses are encouraged to check out Jill’s piece at www.visithollywoodfl.org and to spread the word by e-mailing the link or
sharing it on their social media pages.
Wedding Bells on the Beach
Heat-seeking snowbirds may soon have to make room for marriageminded lovebirds in Hollywood. As the top state for domestic
destination weddings (with 21% of the share), South Florida is
a growing hot spot for couples looking to tie the knot in a tropical
paradise. In an effort to increase Hollywood’s outreach to couples
planning destination nuptials, the Hollywood CRA’s new advertising
campaign on TheKnot.com leads brides, grooms and wedding
planners to a newly created landing page identifying businesses that
cater to the weddings market, including hotels, restaurants, venues,
photographers, salons, spas, caterers and more.
The new campaign has already paid off, driving a significant increase
in traffic to the website and leading more and more couples to say
“I do” to Hollywood as the site for one of the most special events of
their lives. For more information, please visit www.visithollywoodfl.

Margaritaville Update
For those of you waiting for it to be “Five O’Clock Somewhere” or
hungry for that “cheeseburger in paradise,” the Margaritaville Hollywood
Beach Resort slated for Johnson Street at A1A on Hollywood Beach
is on schedule. The developers are finishing up construction plans for
permitting and have filed the necessary applications for financing which
include establishing a Margaritaville-only Community Development
District and a Regional Center to solicit EB 5 foreign investor funding).
Beginning in July, 2011, the City will receive a monthly payment of
$20,000 although the City will continue to have full use of the property
(parking and play space included) until construction begins in March
2012. While construction may begin earlier if all contracts, permits,
financing and other requirements are satisfied, March 2012 is considered an outside date in the 99 year lease agreement between the City of
Hollywood and Margaritaville. The rent paid to the City, not including real estate taxes and other payments, increases to $500,000 per year
when the resort opens which is anticipated in March 2014.
Altogether, the City of Hollywood and the Hollywood CRA will receive more than $33 million in income over the lease term and Hollywood
will be home to a new LEED Silver resort (350 rooms), a new boat dock with eco tours along the intracoastal, more entertainment and outdoor
seating at the beach theater. It’s a development that will bring “changes in latitudes and changes in attitude” along Central Hollywood Beach.
