Update:
The Latest on the Path to Building Includes you
Last year, the City worked out the dollars and cents for GO Pompano!, and local officials worked behind the scenes to jump start the path to building. Here’s a look at last year’s progress, as well as some important next steps before construction can commence — one of which includes you! Step 1: Recruiting

Well, the Comp Plan may be a long-range document, but it is also dynamic, evolving as community conditions, aspirations, opportunities since the current plan was adopted, a lot has changed in our City.

selves and to invest in themselves by using the gift of instrumental music to broaden their perspective of life - creating opportunities for themselves that would not have been possible otherwise. Music is Your Ali was formed as a way to motivate aspiring young musicians in the local Pompano Beach community by providing free access to musical instruments and music instruction. We are sincerely thrilled to witness a young man take advantage of this opportunity and take it to the next level!” Thanks to these lessons and experiences, Donovan is planning a career in music. While he has been accepted to Berklee, his attendance is predicated upon his receiving scholarships to alleviate the tuition costs. If he is unable to make that dream come true, he will seek Berklee trained teachers at local colleges such as Florida Atlantic University or Florida International University. To date, $500,000 has been donated to the preservation of music education in schools. The Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation has affected 60,000 music students in over 350 music classrooms.

Ted WIlliams at Pompano Beach Municipal Stadium
The Texas Rangers had moved to Arlington in 1972, and conducted spring training in Pompano Beach, Florida. The team headquarters was the Surf Rider, a dive that resembled a minimum-security halfway house. It was right on the beach, though, and therefore heavenly. The spring training in my experience was not a family scene. The schedule for the Major League Baseball beat writer went as follows: Get up, gargle with English Leather, and stroll the beach. Then I’d return to my room at the Surf Rider with its mildewed walls to do an hour’s worth of research for the work day ahead. That amounted to studying the racing form to handicap the first five races at Gulfstream. After returning from the track, I’d report to Pompano Stadium, making sure to arrive late enough that the game would be over, and get a copy of the box score.

And that was the end of professional baseball in Pompano Beach.

City Offers Relief to Workers Impacted by Partial Federal Government Shutdown
I

the

government shutdown to its residents, the Pompano Beach City
Commission authorized a Utility Billing Program to defer water, waste water, reuse water, storm water and garbage fees for federal employees while the partial federal government shutdown was in effect. In addition, water was not disconnected during the shutdown for these residents. Individual customers were provided a 60 day grace-period once the furlough ended in order to bring their deferred balance current. To have qualified, federal employees must live in the City of Pompano Beach utility service area and provide identification and a pay stub or letter from their employer stating they are furloughed. In addition, the City created a section on its Website dedicated to providing access to additional resources to assist our impacted residents.

Flood Damage The Flood Hazard Everyone should know their flood zone! Call the City Building Division at (954) 786-4670 to find out: • If a building is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area or not. • If a property is subject to erosion. • If the site area has local drainage problems, especially during heavy rain storms. • If the property is in an area that has had flood insurance claims filed repeatedly. • If there is an elevation certificate on file for a building. • To access the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the City. Property Protection • Elevate furniture and other household valuables and electrical appliances, or move them to higher floors. • Place sandbags in strategic places around your property. Sandbags can slow down and divert flood waters. • Regrading your property to provide for better storage of stormwater runoff, in stalling an earthen berm along the perimeter, and elevating the existing structure are good flood damage protection practices. Some flood protection methods require a construction permit so always call the Building Division before making any alterations to your property at 954.786.4670. Staff can offer suggestions and visit your site to offer property protection advice. If you see a project that does not have a permit sign, please contact the Building Division to report the possible violation. Flood Safety • Obey evacuation orders from officials. Only mobile homes and areas east of US1 to have to evacuate. • Know your evacuation zone and route, and shelter locations. Find your evacuation zone at Broward.org/ Emergency or go to the City’s disaster preparedness web page at www.pomanobeachfl.gov/getready

{Protect Your Home and Property}
• Stay away from power lines and electrical wires. Electrical current can travel through water. • Do not drive through flooded roadways. Roads may not be distinguishable from canals or ponds. • Do not walk through flowing waters. Flood Insurance • Everyone in Florida should purchase a flood insurance policy to protect their building and/or its contents, whether in a SFHA or not! • Most homeowners’ or renters’ insurance policies do not cover property losses due to flood waters. • Please note that there is usually a 30 day waiting period after purchase before coverage takes effect. • The City of Pompano Beach participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the Community Rating System program (CRS), which provides a discount on all flood insurance policies. • Call your insurance agent today to purchase flood insurance. If you don’t have an agent, go to the FloodSmart.gov website, or call 1-800 427-4661 for help. The City is available to assist. Call 954.545.7780. Stormwater Management Water from rain storms is managed through a system of pipes and drainage canals. Constant water flow through canals, especially during heavy storms, is essential to flood damage protection in the City. City and State laws prohibit dumping trash in waterways. Please report violators to the Public Works Department at 954.786.4028. Only Storm Water Down the Drain • Please keep in mind that it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that our water ways are kept clean. • Oils, lawn clippings and other substances should never be put down a storm drain. • If you see someone improperly

disposing of waste into the storm drain system or waterways, or any other illicit discharge, please call the Public Works Department at 954.786.4028.
Benefits of Natural Floodplains Natural areas of the City typically collect and retain stormwater runoff during rainfall events 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 filtering through the ground. Sand dunes on the beach are nature’s protection against inland flooding from waves and high tides accompanying major storms. It is everyone’s responsibility to protect these natural areas and keep them clean! Sea Level Rise The consequences of sea level rise in Pompano Beach may include the following impacts: • Increased frequency of flooding in coastal and inland areas, • socio-economic impacts such as displacement, • decreases in property values and tax base, and • increases in insurance costs. • Visit www.Broward.orgclimate/pages/ default.aspk for more information about sea level rise. For More Information • Go to the City’s Emergency Management webpage at pompanobeachfl.gov/getready or call 954.545.7799. • Broward County Emergency Man agement Department website at www.Broward.org/Emergency or call 954.545.4670. • Go to the Pompano Beach website at www.PompanoBeachFL.gov and go to the Development Services Division page for flood info, or call 954.786.4600. • Twitter: @mypompanobeach • Facebook: Pompano Beach City Hall. • The Broward County Public Library has many flood-related documents. Search the catalog for “flood” and “FEMA”.
