t is the first time in our 100 year history that the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department has prepared a Parks Master Plan. The City Commission formally approved the Parks Master Plan at the July 23rd City Commission Meeting. In February 2012, the Department embarked on the preparation of a comprehensive City Wide Parks Master Plan in order to address latent community parks and recreation needs and provide a professionally prepared roadmap to improve public recreation and leisure facilities throughout the community. The City Wide Parks Master Plan is intended to provide an evaluation of existing park conditions as well as identify area and city-wide park needs. As part of the Master Plan process, these considerations were presented in a community forum to gather citizen’s preferences in order to improve recreation facilities and program offerings in both short and long term horizons. With this intent in mind, the goals established for the City Wide Parks Master Plan were further defined to more clearly understand the purpose. These goals were to:
CITY APPROVES PARKS MASTER PLAN
• Expand as needed the city-wide system of park and recreation venues to meet the needs of the citizens of Pompano Beach • Enhance the quality of life of all citizens • Improve the neighborhoods
To assist in reaching these goals a series of specific guiding objectives were established to: • Identify perceived and real community recreation needs • Maximize, to the greatest extent possible, the use of available recreation lands/facilities resources • Provide for the rational and equitable distribution of recreational facilities throughout the City of Pompano Beach and improve accessibility • Plan park and recreation investments to create the greatest benefit for all citizens of Pompano Beach, while limiting duplication of high maintenance facilities The City Wide Park Master Plan provides park and recreation development policies, programs, and specific park conceptual designs. Through the Master Plan analysis process a number of needed projects were identified. Conceptual designs were prepared for each of the projects identified. The design process involved further analysis of identified program needs and site conditions. The design concepts presented are identified by each specific Commission District. These projects are: • District 1: Beach Community Center • District 2: Cresthaven Community Center, North Pompano Park Aquatic and Community Centers, Highlands Teen Center
• District 3: Norwood Pines Park Expansion • District 4: Apollo Park Expansion • District 5: McNair Park Expansion, Collier City Mini-Park, 10 Acre Potential Park

I
Pompano Beach
n September, the City Commission approved a Strategic Plan for the City. The intent of the Strategic Plan is to provide a pathway to a more prosperous, diverse,
and attractive city. It is based on the desires of residents to retain the existing family friendly features of a safe community, diverse recreation and affordable housing. At the same time it encompasses resident desires for a broader range of dining, shopping and recreation experiences within the City. In addition to addressing resident desires and expectations, this plan also addresses economic opportunities in tourism, manufacturing and logistics and Class A office space. Pompano Beach has distinctive assets which can be leveraged for increased private investment, which in turn will increase job creation The Strategic Plan contains departmental business plans. The business plans consist of measurable objectives that are designed to move the City closer to its longer term strategic goals. The business plans will be updated each year by staff; this will ensure the Strategic Plan remains active and relevant. It is important to note that the City has already been making significant investments. It has plans in place for additional community improvements. The continuance of these efforts is critical for Pompano Beach to position itself as both a strong tourism market and central site for the various products and services that will be generated in the regional economy. Pompano Beach has the assets needed to become a dynamic economic space bringing better jobs and quality of life experiences for its residents.

City Approved for .GOV Address As a part of the newly designed and upgraded website, the City of Pompano Beach has a new domain name consistent with government entities: pompanobeachfl.gov . All services including Electronic Plan Review, on-line bill pay and recreational event sign-ups will need to be completed through the new domain. Those who have the web site bookmarked or have it listed in their “Favorites” will need to change to the new domain name. The domain name GOV is a sponsored top-level domain in the Domain Name System of the Internet. The GOV name is derived from government, indicating its restricted use by government entities in the United States. The Gov domain is administered by the General Services Administration, an independent agency of the United States Federal Government. The City of Pompano Beach is proud to have obtained the GOV domain designation in its on-going effort to be consistent and transparent to citizens seeking information about our City.

and it should be yours!
It’s a simple question: what do the Greg Norman Signature Golf Course, Sample-McDougald House with its herb and vegetable garden, Sand & Spurs Equestrian Park, the City’s nursery, ball fields and parks have in common? They are all watered with OASIS reuse water. The City of Pompano Beach has been using reuse water over 24 years and it shows: lush green grass that needs less fertilizer, can be watered any day, is less expensive in maintenance, and is safe and environmentally friendly. We get our drinking water from the Biscayne aquifer, which is right beneath your feet. By saving drinking water for drinking, and using reuse water for grass, over 10 billion gallons of water from the Biscayne Aquifer has been conserved. This reduction in water withdrawals has resulted in a reversal of the saltwater encroachment upon the well fields and protects the aquifer.
Plus there are savings on your water bill: the price of reuse water starts at $0.85/1000 gallons, and the price of drinking water starts at $2.24/1000 gallons. Depending on the size of your lawn and how often you water, your savings could be substantial. It’s easy to get connected: you just fill out one simple form, have it notarized and send it to the address mentioned on the form, or stop by Customer Service at City Hall where they can notarize it for you. The City takes it from there. To read more about our ‘ICanWater’ program, please visit ICanWater.com, or call the OASIS hotline at 954.324.8434.

[ ] New
GRESS
Pier Street is a new street being designed in Pompano Beach with a “Complete Streets” concept which takes into consideration all users. “Complete Streets” are designed and operated to enable safe access with everyone in mind including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities. Complete Streets make it easy to cross the street, walk to shops, and bicycle to work. They allow buses to run on time and make it safe for people to walk to and from train stations. Pier Street will be designed to have on-street parking, wide sidewalks, landscaped pedestrian areas and a signalized intersection and cross-walk on A1A. Pier Street will connect the Pier property with the Oceanside Park on the west side of A1A and the small park on the Intracoastal, west of Riverside Drive. Landscaping and tree canopy will be added along the newly designed street, to improve the vi-

within the pier parking lot which will be transformed from a parking lot with little green space to a pedestrian-oriented destination with over 25% green space. The redevelopment of the Pier parking lot is just one part of the new urbanistic projects between the ocean and the Intracoastal which will retrofit this predominantly vehicular oriented area by creating a destination, not only for tourists and beach-goers, but for the thousands of condominium residents within a quarter mile walk of the pier parking lot. Currently, these residents must drive across the Intracoastal bridge on Atlantic Boulevard or drive south on A1A to find retail and dining destinations. This project will create a walkable destination that is just an elevator ride away. The new Pier Street will also provide an incentive for residents living in the neighborhoods between US1 and A1A to walk or bike along the newly redeveloped Atlantic Boulevard. This segment of roadway was also a “Complete Street” design. Pedestrians will cross the Intracoastal bridge to Riverside Drive or A1A, then take Pier Street to retail and dining destinations or simply to enjoy the beach. Transforming a surface parking lot, like the Pier parking lot, into a retail and dining destination and connecting that destination with a walkable street like Pier Street is a case-study in Smart Growth and represents the perfect formula for retrofitting an

Creating Awareness About the Dangers of Leaving Children in Hot Vehicles
23
That’s the number of children that have died in only seven months this year throughout the U.S. due to heatstroke from being left unattended inside of hot vehicles. Three of these deaths have occurred in the state of Florida. In 2003, the Pompano Beach Fire Rescue responded to a child locked inside of a vehicle at a commercial parking lot. Unfortunately, too much time had passed and the child was unable to be revived despite the paramedics’ best efforts. Fortunately, that has been the only tragic death the City of Pompano Beach has experienced, but in the past three years Pompano Beach Fire Rescue has responded to nearly 180 incidents of children locked inside of a vehicle. That’s an average of 1.2 incidents per week (15 per month) over the past three years. These incidents continue to occur week after week. So why do these incidents occur? On many occasions, the caregiver accidentally locks their keys inside their car and immediately realizes it. However, research has shown that amazingly enough, the grim reality is that many caregivers get caught up in the fast paced multi-tasked society and they simply forget the sleeping child in the back seat. Since 1990, the U.S. has experienced 584 heatstroke deaths due to being left inside a hot vehicle. Out of these deaths, 303 have occurred because the caregiver forgot the child was inside the vehicle. Although it is difficult to imagine someone forgetting their child, you cannot dispute the facts. Another cause of death is due to children playing around unlocked vehicles, climbing inside and then they are unable to get out. The U.S. has experienced 166 of these deaths.
>> Here are a few safety tips you can use on a daily basis to help you during those hectic days:
1. Leave something you need in
the back seat of your car (purse, briefcase, etc.) 2. Stuffed animal in child seat when unoccupied and stuffed animal in front seat when child seat is occupied 3. Get in the habit of always opening the rear door when leaving the car 4. Use drive-thru windows whenever possible
As a result of these staggering statistics, Pompano Beach Fire Rescue is the first fire department organization in the U.S. to embark on a program to create awareness about the dangers of leaving children in hot vehicles. After conducting extensive research, including polling 400 random Pompano Beach residents over a six month period, the No Child Locked Inside program began.
5. Avoid talking on the phone and texting while driving to avoid distractions
The goal of the program is to create awareness and reduce the number of children that are left inside of hot vehicles through the use of informational handouts. No Child Locked Inside stickers will also be placed in street front businesses to serve as a reminder in case someone accidentally forgets their child inside the vehicle. Additionally, No Child Locked Inside stickers will be placed in all City run buildings in Pompano Beach.
7. Arrange to have the day care center or babysitter call you if you do not show up by a certain time
6. Keep vehicle locked when at home/ garage
>> What you should you know? 1. The temperature inside of a car can rise:
a. 20 degrees in 10 minutes
b. 30 degrees in 20 minutes
c. 35 degrees in 30 minutes d. 45 degrees in 60 minutes
2. Normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees. 104 degrees with no sweating can cause heat stroke and lead to death at 107 degrees

Flood Damage 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 in- surance. 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 FEMA Flood Hazard Areas found within the City limits include Zone X, Zone AE, Zone AH, and Zone VE. The map depicts the flood hazard associated with any parcel in the City. A Summarized flood zones map is located in the Building Inspec- tions 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 a flooding event without a major storm or hurricane. The risk of flooding within the City of Pompano Beach can increase by the presence of higher water levels within the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway due to storm surge In general, property located east of State Road A1A within the City has been designated as a coastal zone which encounters greater flooding risk due to waves and storm surge during a significant storm event.
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 such as the City’s website, CODE RED, television channel 78, 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. • Bring a battery-operated flashlight. • Be careful at all times, particularly at night, and try to remain calm. • Do not drive through flooded roadways • Do not walk through flowing waters • Stay away from electrical wires
Flood Insurance
Most homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover property losses due to flood waters. To
{Protect Your Home and Property}
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. Flood insurance typically covers the building structure but not the contents so verify your coverage for contents under your homeowner’s insurance. Please note that there is a 30-day waiting period after purchase before NFIP flood insurance coverage takes effect. 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 valu ables 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 sand- bags are placed correctly at proper locations, they can slow up and divert flood waters. • Upgrading your property can include regarding your property to provide for on site storage of stormwater runoff, installing an earthen berm along the perimeter, ret rofitting the existing structure to be flood proofed, or elevating the existing structure to raise the finish floor elevation.
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. Before building on, altering, regarding, or replacing fill on your property, always check with the Building Division on any permit requirements. A permit may be required to ensure that the construction does not negatively impact adjacent properties. If an ongoing construction project within a City does not have a posted permit sign, please contact the City’s Building Division to report the possible violation.
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 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
Natural areas of the City provide a beneficial function by the reducing the potential severity of flooding. These natural areas typically the collect and retain stormwater runoff during rainfall events and allow for the infiltration of stormwater into the natural ground surface, which can reduce the flooding levels within the developed areas of the City. These natural areas also enhance the water quality of stormwater runoff by allowing suspended Photographed By sediments Ron Ross and nutrients to settle during the retention period. 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, F.E.M.A. awarded the City with a Class 9 rating in the C.R.S. This rating earned Pompano Beach residents a five percent discount on flood insurance premiums. 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. In July 2012, F.E.M.A. awarded the City a class 7 rating so flood insurance policy holders in special flood hazard areas in the City will now receive a 15% discount on their insurance premiums.
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.
