The City of Pompano Beach added another tool to help Pompano businesses thrive this year. The Office of Housing & Urban Improvement is offering Revolving Loan Fund loans of $25,000 to $50,000 at the Prime Rate, which has been hovering around 3.25%. Here’s how the program works:

The original Pompano farmers did not have access to many agricultural laborers beyond family members and everyone in the family was expected to work during critical times in the growing season.

Before Pompano got its bigger school, it was moved into yet another county. In 1915 Broward County was carved out of portions of Palm Beach and Dade counties. Initially Pompano was not represented on the Broward County Board of Public Instruction, but in 1919 Pompano pioneer Joseph P. Smoak was elected to that body and served on it for the next decade. One of the early actions of the Broward County Board of Public Instruction was to authorize a new grammar school for Pompano. A two-story masonry building was constructed on the land donated for that purpose (today the site of Pompano Beach Middle School), and the old wooden school was sold and moved once again. After being used as a private residence for a while, the building was sold to the Methodist Church, which used it for Sunday School classes before it was finally demolished in the 1960s.

This service based program focuses on career, social skills, service, leadership, fitness, and preparation for life after high school. Though most of our training is focused around the Fire Service, you do not have to aspire to become a firefighter or paramedic to enjoy and benefit from this program. Quite a few of our former Explorers have taken advantage of the skills acquired in

our program. They are currently working as career firefighter / paramedic. Three former Explorers are working right here in Pompano Beach. There are several others around the County and one working in Georgia. One is even a police officer. There are also currently several more Explorers that have already graduated from the Fire Academy. They have completed college and have become State Certified Paramedics. All of their hard work and dedication has put them in a position to be eligible for employment. Hopefully, they

too will be working in this challenging career field. To join, you must be between the ages of 14 and 18 and have completed the 8th grade. You must maintain a minimum of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? average in high school. Explorers meet every Wednesday, from 6:00 pm until 8:30 pm. For more information about becoming a Pompano Beach Fire Explorer, please contact the Training Division 954.786.5524.

Pompano Beach will have a Greg Norman signature designed golf course that will likely be one of the finest municipal golf courses in the State of Florida. This championship course will be a pillar for the community, providing a first class amenity for the residents and tourists to the City of Pompano Beach. This will be Greg Norman’s first design at a municipal golf course. “I was introduced to the sport of golf through public access golf courses in Australia, so this project and public golf are very special to me. I see this as the first of many municipal golf course design and renovation projects that I would like to be involved with,” said Norman.

These efficiency gains mean that residents, builders and businesses are able to receive their building permits in less time than ever before. In addition to speeding up the permitting process, E-Plan review process reduces printing and production costs to the customer by eliminating the need for multiple paper copies of printed plans.

The City’s new Greg Norman Signature Golf Course is tentatively scheduled to open in late fall of 2012. 16

All of these efforts are necessary before physical improve-

Among the first projects will be 731 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard which will be a retail structure of approximately 4,000 square feet, surrounded by an improved public parking area. Costs are being estimated for the renovation of the Ali Building for use as a cultural venue.

Flood Damage Protect Your Home and Property This article is required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (F.E.M.A.) to satisfy provisions in the Community Rating System (C.R.S.) for reduced costs for flood insurance. The following is offered to Pompano Beach residents to help prevent and minimize the impact on lives and property caused by floodwaters.

Flood Hazard Map The City’s Engineering Department has enhanced FEMA’s Flood Criteria Map identifying flood zones for all properties in the city. The map depicts the flood hazard associated with any parcel in the City. The map is located in the Building Inspections Division at City Hall and is available in electronic GIS format.

Flood Risk Although we have been relatively fortunate for many years, the recent flooding on Halloween 2011 reminds us of the possibility of flooding event without a major storm or hurricane.

Flood Warning System The City of Pompano Beach, in coordination with Broward County, has a warning system to notify residents of impending flood danger. Warnings will be transmitted on public address systems, television, radio, telephone and on a door-to-door basis. Listen for instructions during times of flood risk.

Flood Safety These are precautionary steps consider before possible flooding:

• Listen to radio or television for warnings. • Obey warning and evacuation instructions from disaster officials. • Know your evacuation zone and route. • Take your own essentials (food, toiletries, clothes, blankets, etc.). • Turn off the electricity and gas before leaving your home. • Bring a battery-operated flashlight. • Be careful at all times, particularly at night, and try to remain calm.

Flood Insurance Most homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover property losses due to flood waters. To insure your property for flood damage, you need a flood insurance policy. If you do not have valid flood insurance, contact an agent immediately. Property owners can insure property; renters can insure possessions. The City of Pompano Beach participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (N.F.I.P.) to provide city residents with the initial qualification to purchase flood insurance. We applied to F.E.M.A. for participation in the C.R.S. program to enable our residents to qualify for lower flood insurance premiums.

heavy storms, is essential to flood prevention in the City. City and state laws prohibit dumping trash in waterways. Report violators to Public Works Department at 954-786-4060.

Property Protection

Natural Habitat

There are ways to minimize property losses from flood damage, including:

State regulations protect those natural areas that help to reduce the risks associated with flooding. Along the beach no new structures are permitted seaward of the Coastal Construction Line without permission. Other restrictions protect some wetland areas from development.

• Move furniture and other household valuables to rooms or spaces in the upper story of a two-story dwelling or a location higher than the regular floor elevation in a single story home. • Place sandbags in strategic places around your property prior to flood status. When sandbags are placed correctly at proper locations, they can slow up and divert flood waters. • Upgrading your property can include building flood walls, elevating a structure or raising the floor.

Development Permits All development (new construction, additions, renovations, alterations to properties, etc.) in the City of Pompano Beach require a construction permit. The N.F.I.P. and the Florida Building Code require the entire building to conform to the requirements for a new building when building repairs or alterations exceed 50 percent of the building’s market value. All applicable building permit applications must conform to this requirement when submitted to the Building Inspections Division. The requirement may also apply if a building is substantially damaged due to flooding.

Stormwater Management Stormwater is managed through a system of pipes and drainage canals maintained regularly by our Public Works and Utilities Departments. The Broward County Office of Environmental Services and South Florida water Management District. Constant water flow through these canals, especially during

Rate Reductions On June 11th, 1993, the City received a letter from F.E.M.A. commending our efforts to exceed minimum standards of the National Flood Insurance Program to meet the requirements for a Class 9 rating in the C.R.S. These actions earned Pompano Beach residents a five percent discount for N.F.I.P. policies issued or renewed on or after October 1st, 1993. In September 1994, the City received official notification that Pompano Beach residents are eligible for an additional five percent discount, or ten percent total, on flood insurance based on the City complying with the requirements for a Class 8 rating in the C.R.S.

Additional Information We urge City residents to contact or visit the Building Inspections Division to determine the flood zone and flood elevation for their property. The library at the Building Inspections Division is available for your reference. Pompano Beach City Hall is at 100 West Atlantic Boulevard, Pompano Beach, Florida. The Pompano Beach Branch of the Broward County Library, located at 1213 East Atlantic Boulevard, has information on flood insurance, flood protection and flood plain management.
