Close to 2,000 people proudly waved their American flag souvenirs and watched as Pompano Beach Fire-Rescue and Broward Sheriff’s Office honor guard along with the Black Pearl Pipe and Drum Corps presented the colors. The evening featured Chuck Lanza, Broward County Director of the Emergency Management Division, as the key note speaker. The event also featured the incredible Liberty Voices, an eight piece a cappella singing group. Clergy of different religions offered one minute inspirational prayers followed by live entertainment. The night was one to remember and one that sent everyone home feeling proud to be an American. th

So what does this mean for you? As with most taxes there is no simple answer. It depends when you purchased your property and how it is classified (Homestead, Commercial, etc.). For instance, if your home is a Non-Homesteaded property, you may end up paying less taxes next year. If you are a more recent Homesteaded homeowner, then you may pay close to what you paid last year, plus or minus. On the other hand, if you have lived in your home a long time and have been eligible for Save Our Home Exemptions, then you could be paying more in taxes next year. The main reason for this is that these homes are still valued below market; therefore, the value of the home will increase, which for next year is 1.5%. As you may well know, Save Our Home Properties increase by the rate of inflation up to a cap of 3%. There are still homes, albeit not many, whose values have yet to catch up to market values. 4

for each entity that plans on levying a property tax. Finally, it is no secret that no one likes to pay property taxes, especially during tough economic times. Your elected leaders recognize this and over the past four years alone have reduced budget expenses by close to $17 million, which has helped the City maintain a low tax rate. Additionally, less than a quarter of the City’s proposed budget is funded with property taxes. The remaining amount is funded through other fees and revenue. The amount that is collected helps fund Police, Fire, Emergency Medical Services, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, etc. If at any point you have questions about your tax bill, feel free to contact the Budget Office at 954-786-4605 and we will be happy to assist you.

Municipal golf is at the very heart of the game, and I’d like to do my part to give back to the game that has given me so much,” said Greg Norman. This will be Norman’s first municipal golf course project in the United States. It is fitting that the project is in Pompano Beach, just a short drive from Norman’s home in Hobe Sound, Florida and company headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida.

East Atlantic Boulevard between A1A and Pompano Beach Boulevard is now completed and features wider sidewalks and new parking configurations and lanes. Beautiful new Coconut and Silvestri Palm trees have been installed. The CRA is working with the businesses on this block to participate in the Faรงade and Business Site Improvement Program (SIP) to update the look of the buildings and to encourage more outdoor dining on these new sidewalks. 6

Construction has started on Pompano Beach Boulevard. Key improvements include the installation of a beach plaza featuring an interactive water feature, a comprehensive dune restoration project, widening of the sidewalks, on-street parking and the installation of new lighting and the existing bathrooms will be renovated. Decorative concrete pavers will be installed on the sidewalks. A Request for Qualifications on the Pier Development Site has now been closed. It is the intent of the City to enter into a contract with the most qualified respondent based on a competitive evaluation of proposals received. This 8-acre site is a prime redevelopment parcel prominently located between A1A and the ocean,

and between Atlantic Boulevard and NE 5 th Street, including the pier-surface parking lots. The site is intended to provide a combination of restaurants and eateries, beach and pier oriented retail, surface or structured parking, passive open space, plazas and general areas that attract families and visitors. Improvements to Atlantic Boulevard are now underway. This project involves the reconstruction of Atlantic Boulevard from Federal Highway to A1A and undergrounding of FPL and Comcast overhead utilities. Through a partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the CRA will build wider sidewalks, improve landscaping, and implement pedes-

Less than 700 people lived within Pompano’s municipal boundaries in 1920, but within half-a-dozen years, the population had easily quadrupled. This led to an intense housing shortage and plans for new residential subdivisions. Many were never built, but a few, such as Monticello Park (located West of Dixie Highway, between NW 10 th and 13 th

Streets) were quite successful. This growth forced local government to expand its services significantly. By the decade’s midpoint, Pompano’s streets remained unpaved. Some were surfaced with crushed rock, but the farther one traveled away from Dixie Highway, the more primitive the roadways. Around 1926, Northeast 1 st Street became the first road to be paved by the City of Pompano. The paving went from Flagler Avenue East about half of a mile. It took almost 20 years after incorporation for Pompano to establish a municipal water system. Built in 1926-1927, the system consisted of a 193 foot deep well and a 300,000 gallon water tank, standing over 125 feet high. Both the well and storage tank were located at what would become Founders Park (North of NE 2 nd Street between 3 rd and 4 th Avenues). Initially, water lines were limited to the immediate area. At about the same time, Pompano’s first sewer system was installed on NE 5 th Avenue. It ran toward the Pompano Canal, where a large septic tank was located. Sewage was then filtered through a drain field before being discharged into the Pompano Canal. In 1925, Pompano’s town council agreed that with all the new construction the municipality needed a more modern fire-fighting system. The Pompano City Council voted to build a fire station on NE 4 th Avenue and ordered a brand new LaFrance Pumper and received its fire truck on July 13 th, 1926.

Beyond new buildings and City services, Pompano was attracting professionals and business people. Dr. George McClellan, originally from the little North Florida town of Wellborn, settled here in 1921 and stayed.

graduated from Fort Lauderdale Cenward County’s only high school from the time it was built in 1915. Pompano’s black community would not get a high school until 1952, but in 1928, the Broward County School Board allocated a little less than $30,000 for a two-story six-classroom masonry building on NW 6 th Avenue. Originally known as the Pompano Colored School, it would later be renamed Coleman Elementary. All this growth and prosperity came to an abrupt end in the latter years of the 1920’s. Economic collapse and devastating hurricanes plunged Pompano and the rest of South Florida into depression. The good times were gone, but while it lasted the Land Boom had changed Pompano forever.

Pompano Beach believes the most effective route to achieving its economic development goals is through coordination among the City Manager’s Office, the Office of Housing and Urban Improvement and its Community Redevelopment Agency. In addition to funding assistance and other incentives offered by the City, businesses located within the Enterprise Zone are entitled to unique State tax benefits. The City of Pompano Beach’s Enterprise Zone Program is administered by its Office of Housing and Urban Improvement. The Zone is bordered on the west by the CSX railroad line, the east by I-95, the south by McNab Road and the north by Copans Road.

// Building Materials Sales Tax Refund A refund is available for up to $10,000 of sales taxes paid on the purchase of building materials used to rehabilitate real property located in the Enterprise Zone. Offering cash back for sales taxes paid on building materials, it is by far the most popular Enterprise Zone Program.

// Jobs Tax Credit (Sales Tax) The Jobs Tax Credit allows Enterprise Zone businesses who collect and pay Florida sales and use tax, a monthly credit against their tax due on 20 or 30 percent of wages paid to new employees in a new full-time job. Qualifying employees may live in any Enterprise Zone, though, not just Pompano Beach’s, or they may be Welfare Transition Program participants. The Sales Tax Credit cannot be used in conjunction with the Corporate Tax Jobs Credit. 14

the purchase of certain business property, (e.g. tangible personal property such as office or warehouse equipment and some industrial machinery and equipment), which is used exclusively in the Enterprise Zone for at least 3 years.

// Property Tax Credit (Corporate Income Tax) New or expanded businesses located within the Enterprise Zone are allowed a credit against Florida corporate income tax equal to 96% of ad valorem taxes paid on the new or improved property. The credit can be claimed for five years, up to a maximum of $50,000 annually if 20% or more of its employees are residents of any Enterprise Zone; otherwise, the credit is limited to $25,000 annually. Any unused portion of the credit may be carried forward for five years. For more

ATTENTION:

Y U L E T I D E HAS CHANGED LOCATIONS R E V O LV I N G

LOA N P R O G R A M The City of Pompano Beach Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Program provides loan funds to eligible businesses with the ultimate objective of creating jobs for low income people. “Low Income” guidelines are determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The RLF can assist businesses in order to create or retain jobs. Pompano Beach can lend up to $20,000 per full-time job created. Each job created or retained must be a full time equivalent permanent job. The employer must obtain documentation from the job applicant at the time of hiring that the applicant falls within the low income guidelines for their household size. At least 51% of the jobs created or retained must be made available to low income workers. A business must be able to demonstrate that the CDBG assistance is necessary for new job creation or retention. A qualifying business can use the funds for several purposes including land or property acquisition, equipment, furniture and fixtures or working capital. Use of RLF funds for wages related to construction, rehabilitation or installation requires the payment of either state or federal prevailing wages, whichever is higher. There is no cost to apply. If your business is interested in participating, please contact the Office of Housing and Urban Improvement at 954-786-4659.

There will be a change in location this year for the “Yuletide on Atlantic Parade & Celebration” due to construction on Atlantic Boulevard. However, the alternative will be just as exciting and will take place on Friday, December 2nd from 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm at Community Park. We are striving to make this year better and brighter than the year before! Treat your whole family to the eye-dazzling delight of children’s activities, rides, clowns, face painting, arts & crafts, bounce houses, a giant slide, and children can have their pictures taken with Santa. There will also be live musical holiday entertainment and caroling in the park, the Mayor will light the community Yuletide tree. Of course the night will include free hotdogs, soft drinks, and the anticipated arrival of Santa Claus!

This project is intended to become the focal entry point to the beach and will help attract new businesses to the area. The CRA is also working with the businesses on this block to update their facades using our incentive programs.

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 fortunate for the past 30 years, Hurricane Andrew and the 17 inches of rain that fell from Hurricane Irene, reminds us of the possibility of flooding with every major storm.

// 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 to 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.

// 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.

// Property Protection There are ways to minimize property losses from flood damage, including: • 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.

tained 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 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.

// Natural Habitat 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.

// 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.

• Bring a battery-operated flashlight.

// Stormwater Management // For More Information:

• Be careful at all times, particularly at night, and try to remain calm.

Stormwater is managed through a system of pipes and drainage canals main-
