in the past, the City of Pompano Beach held general elections each year in march, however,

starting this November 4th, the City will hold general elections in November on even numbered years along with countrywide general elections. The reason for the change is due to the substantial cost associated with holding a standalone election in March. it is also more convenient for residents and brings more voters out to the polls when municipal elections are held at the same time as county elections.

On November 4th, the electors of Pompano Beach will be voting to elect a qualified candidate, for all five district seats to serve a two year term. The term of office for the Mayor-At-Large seat will expire on

November 1st, 2016. At that time, an election will be held to elect a qualified candidate to fill

that position for a four year term.

City Municipal Elections Now Held in November a representative from the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office will be giving a presentation about the upcoming election at the October 14th City Commission Meeting at 7:00 p.m.

Broward County has one of the largest voter populations in the state of Florida. It has 1.7 million residents and well over

1 million registered voters. When voting at a polling place, Florida law requires voters to present a picture ID with signature. ID required and checked at the polls is used solely to confirm the voter’s identity, not to verify the voter’s iD number or address. The photograph on the ID

is compared to the person standing before the poll worker and the signature on the ID is compared to the signature on record.

Community redevel-opment agency Streetscape

and Dune Enhancement Project was nominated as a project finalist for the prestigious urban land institute (uli) Southeast Florida/Caribbean Vision Awards. The Vision Awards honor individuals and real estate projects from our region that exemplify the mission of uli and demonstrate a proactive commitment to excellence.

The Pompano Beach City Commission, Cra, East Community redevelopment agency, and passionate residents developed and implemented plans to restore the City’s municipal beachfront. The Pompano Beach Streetscape and Dune Enhancement project changed the blighted beachfront into a beautiful family Oceanside destination. With the

assistance of EDSA, Inc., the landscape architect, they jointly created and executed a new vision for a three-quarter of a mile beachfront corridor. The purpose of the project was to stimulate activity along

the beach, restore the dune, and craft an oceanfront pedestrian promenade for residents and tourists.

Key initiatives included beach dune enhancements, pedestrian improvements along the east and west side of Pompano Beach Boulevard, an exercise trail and fitness park, passive parks and playground upgrades, landscape beautification, light-ing, beachfront parking and pedestrian plazas. Enhanced plantings and native vegetation re-established the primary dune.

If you haven’t been to the beach lately, it is the perfect time for you to see your city’s new Oceanside destination!

a streetscape program expanded the narrow sidewalk into a promenade, and cre-ated a great lawn plaza with an interactive water feature. The roadway was reconfig-ured with angled parking and 10-ft. wide

lanes that transformed the cor-ridor into a pedestrian friendly environment with a focus on walking and strolling. With car speeds along the corridor dra-

matically reduced, the family atmosphere and social interaction has been greatly en-hanced. Metrics already demonstrate dra-matically increasing property values around the project, with significant energy conser-vation and reduction of water use and runoff.

Additionally, a 1.2-mile walking trail was in-corporated with markers and an outdoor fit-ness area, which is located next to the completely refurbished playground designed for small children.

are you frustrated about being stuck in traffic or a long wait for the bus? Traffic congestion and a lack of funding are two of the biggest problems facing trans-portation today. We lose time and money every day waiting at traffic lights or for the next bus.

revenues from the gas tax, the primary means of funding our transportation system, have been

declining since the early 1990’s. If nothing changes, services and improvements will likely have to be cut in the fu-ture, causing things to get worse instead of bet-ter. If Broward County’s residents want more from

our transportation system in the future, we need to have a discussion about how

we should pay for these improvements.

The Broward metropolitan Planning Orga-nization, the county agency responsible for transportation planning, launched Speak up Broward to engage the community

In the late 1940s, Mr. H. J. McDonald of New York was delivering a large boat to Mr. E. W. Beye of Pompano Beach. The two men had a hard time finding dock space for the boat, and finally had to settle for a spot in Fort Lauderdale. They discussed their problem and agreed to work together to develop a boating facility in Pompano Beach.

They located a strip of land on the east side of the intracoastal, just north of the atlantic Boulevard bridge (which at that time was still the old hand-cranked turn bridge). Construction followed, and in 1950 the Pompano Beach Yacht Basin and the Sands Yachtel opened with 40 docking spaces, a 12 unit motel and a shopping center that catered to both visiting sailors and local residents.

One of the earlier modern hotels on the beach, the Sea Garden, opened on January 13, 1951. Designed

by Miami architect Carlos B. Schoeppl, the new hotel opened with ceremonies that attracted

three hundred guests and included Pompano Beach Mayor G. Ted Hull and Broward

County Commission S. C. Fox, as well as the 1951 Orange Bowl queen,

Mary Davison.

Developers could not build hotels and motels fast

enough; by the

In 1947, the City of Pompano and the beach area merged to become the City of Pompano Beach. With this action came a realization by many that big changes were in store for the lands east of the Intracoastal Waterway. By the early 1950s, people were streaming into South Florida from throughout the united States, leading to two decades of growth that would see Pompano Beach’s population swell from about 5,000 residents to over 38,000. Likewise, tourism became a major factor, challenging agriculture for economic primacy in the community.

Obviously, the big tourist attractions were boating and the beach, and in the immediate post-war period, Pompano Beach had little to offer out-of-town visitors. For all practical purposes, the City had no public beach, primitive boating facilities and no modern tourist hotels.

recognizing these deficiencies, Pompano Beach approached the man who owned the most beachfront property – William L. Kester. Mayor G. Ted Hull took the lead in negotiating with Kester for the 1951 purchase of the oceanfront property that would become the city’s public beach. Kester sold the land to the city for $80 a foot even though at that time willing buy-ers were paying between $200 and $300 a foot for property on the ocean.

Beach Fishing rodeo as an event to both keep tourists in South Florida longer than the winter months and bring attention to the charter fishing boat business.

East of the intracoastal, developers were beginning a building that would greatly alter the nature of the oceanfront. In the late 1960s, the Sea Monarch and the Ocean Monarch condominium towers were built on Pompano Beach’s ocean-front. These projects were developed by August Urbanek, a Wisconsin native who moved to Fort lauderdale and con-structed large condominium and rental complexes in Broward and Palm Beach counties. These and other large residential towers greatly increased the population living on the beach, but also put severe strains on the roads and bridges.

Almost unnoticed, a slow deterioration began to take place. The condominium building boom that began in the late 1960s had increased the area’s population, but commercial develop-ment lagged. A significant portion of the condo dwellers were either part-time residents or retirees on fixed incomes; shop-ping areas such as Oceanside Center began to lose tenants in the 1980s and 1990s. However, people living in the high-rises on the beach became a potent lobbying group, often seeking to counter proposed large development with charges that new construction was too “intense” or would increase traffic tie-ups.

in an attempt to revitalize the beach area, the City of Pompano Beach created the East Community redevelop-

ment Agency in 2001, encompassing a compact area of 158 acres running on either side of Atlantic Bou-

levard from just west of Federal highway to the beach. The new redevelopment proposals

won the support in both City hall and on the beach. Although this redevelop-

ment process remains on-going, much progress has been made

and it promises to revital-ize Pompano’s beach.

middle of the 1950s, tourist facilities with exotic names such as The Beachcomber, Jasmine Villas, Journey’s End, light-house Cove, Ocean ranch, Pirate’s Cove and the Shore leave Resort, to name just a few, were scattered up and down the beach.

With more people on the beach came a demand for more retail stores and services. In 1956, the Oceanside Shopping Center opened on the northwest corner of atlantic Boulevard and Highway A1A. The complex was developed by James B. Kirby, inventor of the Kirby vacuum cleaner and a winter resident of Pompano Beach, and included a grocery store, restaurants, and a variety of retail shops.

a major problem inhibiting the beach area’s continued growth was the antiquated Atlantic Boulevard bridge that connected it to the mainland. The swing-span bridge dated back to the early part of the twentieth century and had to be manually opened to allow all but the smallest boats through. As the 1950s progressed the bridge often failed, causing those who wished to cross the intracoastal to take a circuitous route to the closest bridges on hillsboro Boulevard or Oakland Park Boulevard. Local leaders were successful in getting the State of Florida to construct a modern drawbridge, and in December 1956 the new bridge was dedicated with a parade and ceremonies attended by many dignitaries, including Florida governor Leroy Collins. The bridge was dedicated in memory of Pompano Beach resident and long-time Broward County Commissioner S.C. Fox, who had passed away in 1953.

long before Pompano was settled, the nearby ocean waters had been a popular fishing area. At the Hillsboro Inlet, the charter fishing fleet catered to well-heeled tourists while drift fishing boats provided a more affordable deep-sea experience. In order to capitalize on its fishing reputation, in 1962 the city constructed and dedicated a fishing pier on the public beach. Three years later, the Pompano Beach Chamber of Commerce established the Pompano

For much of the nineteenth century, South Florida’s iso-

lation made communication with other parts of the nation a difficult

task, and local mail delivery was al-most non-existent. With no direct roadways between Palm Beach and miami, mail was sent on a circuitous route that meant months might pass before the recipient received a letter.

However, by the 1880s, more settlers had moved to the area and began to demand a dependable local mail service. In response the Post Office created an ingenious if somewhat short-lived mail delivery system that we know today as the route of the

Barefoot Mailman.

Officially called a “Star route” because the car-

riers were contract workers rather than

postal employ-ees, the route

was estab-l i s h e d

in 1885 to carry the mail between Lake Worth and Biscayne Bay. Since there was no roadway connecting these two points, the mailmen walked the beach, visiting the scattered homesteads and a few government facilities along the coast. Along the approximately 68-mile route (the beginning and ending points changed from time to time), the carriers encountered a number of waterways, such as the Hillsboro Inlet, that required them to row or be ferried across. In addition to delivering the mail the mailmen would, from time to time, serve as paid guides for travelers willing to accompany them on their walk.

Typically, the route from Palm Beach to miami and back took six days, with overnight stops in what is now Delray Beach and Fort lauderdale at the local houses of refuge, which were government facilities established to rescue ship-wrecked sailors. After reaching and spending a night in miami, the route back to Palm Beach was retraced.

it was an arduous journey, and it is not surprising that the few mailmen lasted for more than a year, and most had a substi-tute who could take over now and then.

The mailmen were subject to the heat, inclement weather, wild animals and

loneliness. Although there were doubtlessly many injuries suf-

fered along the route, only one of the barefoot mailmen lost his life while on duty -- James Edward Hamilton disap-peared trying to cross the hillsboro inlet in 1887. His body was never recovered.

The end for the barefoot mailmen came in 1892 when the Dade County govern-ment authorized the construction of a rock road from lantana to lemon City (part of today’s Miami). The Post Office shifted the route away from the beach to a new stagecoach line that carried passengers and freight on the new roadway. Thus ended a unique part of South Florida’s history and one that was little known outside of this area until Theodore Pratt published his novel The Barefoot Mailman in 1943, giving the pioneer beach walkers world-wide fame.

The Barefoot Mailman| By Dan Hobby, Pompano Beach Historical Society

To pay tribute and immortalize the brave US Barefoot Mailman Carriers, the City of Pompano Beach has hired an artist to construct a

Barefoot Mailman Sculpture which will be located at the Hillsboro Inlet Bridge on top of a supporting 20’-9” tall pedestal, located

just south and on the opposite side (west) of the bridge tender house that controls the opening and closing of the bridge.


The City of Pompano Beach is proud to announce that the indian mound, located within the Pompano Beach Indian Mound Park at 1232 Hibiscus avenue, has been officially listed on the National register of historic Places, which recognizes its signifi-cance as a prehistoric site.

This unique distinction was awarded to the site after being proposed by the City and approved by the State historic Preservation Office and the united States Department of the interior National Park Service. Michele Williams, Director of the Southeast region of the Florida Public archaeology Network at Florida atlantic university assisted the City with the preparation of the National register of historic Places Nomination proposal for the Indian Mound.

The indian mound, which was placed on the Pompano Beach local register of Historic Places in 2010, is a prehistoric sand burial mound that was used by the Tequesta and their ancestors dating as far back as 500 AD. The Pompano Beach mound is the only known indian mound in Broward County and has been of interest to archeologists for over 85 years. In 1926, the City of Pompano Beach created the park to protect the Indian Mound and its contents. The Indian mound Park is open to the public and

has no fee to visit. To preserve this unique site, excavation of any type is strictly prohibited.

The Sample-McDougald House is the only other site in Pompano Beach to receive this honor.

Canine Corner, the City’s popular off leash dog park, has been expanded and improved! an interior fence has been installed in the

large dog area in an effort to keep the park open during the rainy season. Occasionally heavy downpours will cause standing water in the park’s

interior until it can be absorbed back into the ground. Since we cannot eliminate this necessary storm water drainage area, we can now close it off allowing the dry

area in the large dog section to remain open.

additionally, a new large dog area has been constructed at the north end of the park to provide relief to the well-used existing large dog area. With two large dog areas, we can now alternate their use, allowing the grass areas to rest and re-nourish providing a better maintained park. The new large dog area includes benches, a concrete sidewalk and pet fountain. In addition, the entry/exit to the park was modified to enhance dog safety by providing further separation between dogs entering and exiting the park.

We are continually striving to make Ca-nine Corner the best dog park in the area. In an effort to make the park even safer and more enjoyable, Canine Cor-ner will soon be open to member pa-trons only. Anyone who desires to use the park will need to visit the Parks and recreation Department to register for membership. Once registered, a mem-

ber will receive a Key Fob which will allow access into the park.

a registration form will be filled out listing each dog to be permitted and each registered member will be provided a copy of the dog park rules to which they agree to abide by. Adult family members residing in the same household may be authorized on the same membership. For 6 and 12 month memberships, a photo of the dog will be required. If you are unable to provide a photo at the initial registra-tion, our animal Control Officer will coordinate a visit within two weeks of registration to take the photograph.

The goal of these measures is to pro-vide everyone greater enjoyment of the park. This registration process will better ensure dogs are safe to be around one another and the dog owner is aware and accountable to follow park rules.

The City of Pompano Beach will be hosting its second annual low cost rabies Vaccination Clinic at the Canine Corner Dog Park. The event is scheduled for Saturday, December 6th from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Broward County animal Care and adoption will be vaccinating and registering pets.

of wood or high-tech aerospace materials. The ball used is similar to a wiffle ball, but slightly smaller. The lower net and wiffle ball allow the game to be accessible to people of all ages and

abilities, while still allowing more competitive players to test their skills. It was designed to be easy to learn and play whether you’re five, eighty-five or somewhere in between. It is

a fun sport that has picked up a lot of popularity in recent years. For more information about pickleball, call 954.786.4119.

pompano Beach cemetery Did you know the Pompano Beach Cemetery, located off atlantic Boulevard and Federal highway at 400 SE 23rd Avenue, is owned, maintained and operated by the City of Pompano Beach? Founded in the early 1900’s, Pompano Beach Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Broward County and has an extensive history.

The cemetery land was donated by American industrialist and founder Henry Flagler. Veterans dating back to the American Civil War are buried at the cemetery. Memorial celebrations

are held every year remembering those who sacrificed their lives for our country. The first dry cleaner in the african american community, moss alexander, is buried in

the “Black Pioneer” section of the cemetery. On November 13, 1965, the cruise ship Yarmouth Castle sank off the coast of the Bahamas killing 91 people. A

memorial was dedicated in the Pompano Beach Cemetery and a bronze plaque on a stone pedestal lists the names of the 91 people who died.

The Pompano Beach Cemetery is open to anyone who wishes to choose it as their resting place. There are full size plots, an

in-ground cremation area and an above ground columbarium for cremations. Burials are offered Monday through Sat-

urday with the exception of holidays. To contact the Pompano Beach Cemetery call 954.786.4138.

The City of Pompano Beach Utilities

Department just received its lead and

copper test results from a laboratory

certified by the State of Florida for our

water system and we are happy to report

that all 30 homes tested had passing

results. The homes are selected by the

type of plumbing and age of the home.

More good news about our drinking

water… the City Water Plant has received

a new certification from the Florida

Department of Health. This new certi-

fication means that the City treatment

methods have been certified to remove

viruses and bacteria by at least 99.99%.

This new process decreases the possibil-

ity of system wide boil water orders.

> reuse water Expansion

The construction work on the Island past

the NE 27th Terrace bridge is nearly com-

plete. OASIS reuse water will be available

in just a few months. At that time, the City

will connect single family homes to the re-

use system at no cost.

Kid Zone

This article is required by the Federal Emer- gency Management Agency (F.E.M.A.) to sat-isfy provisions in the Community rating System (C.R.S.) for reduced costs for flood insurance.The following is offered to Pompano Beach resi-dents to help prevent and minimize the impact on lives and property caused by floodwaters.

Flood Hazard MapThe City’s Engineering Department has enhanced FEma’s Flood Criteria map identify-ing 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 Riskalthough we have been relatively fortunate formany years, the recent flooding on Halloween2011 reminds us of the possibility of a floodingevent 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 flood-ing risk due to waves and storm surge during a significant storm event.

Flood Warning SystemThe City of Pompano Beach, in coordination with Broward County, has a warning system to notify residents of impending flood dan-ger. 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 instruc-tions during times of flood risk.

Flood SafetyThese are precautionary steps to consider be-fore 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 Insurancemost 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 quali-fication to purchase flood insurance. Flood insurance typically covers the building struc-ture but not the contents so verify your cov-erage 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 ap-plied 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 ProtectionThere 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 sandbags 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 Permitsall development (new construction, addi-tions, 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 build-ing 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 applica-tions must conform to this requirement when submitted to the Building Inspections Division. The requirement may also apply if a building is substantially damaged. Before building on, al-tering, regarding, or replacing fill on your prop-erty, 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 ManagementStormwater is managed through a system of pipes and drainage canals maintained regu-larly by our Public Works and utilities Depart-ments. The Broward County Office of Envi-ronmental 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 HabitatNatural 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 rain-fall events and allow for the infiltration of storm-water into the natural ground surface, which can reduce the flooding levels within the de-veloped areas of the City. These natural areas also enhance the water quality of stormwater runoff by allowing suspended sediments 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 Construc-tion Line without permission. Other restrictions protect some wetland areas from development.

Rate ReductionsOn 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 now receive a 15% discount on their insurance premiums.

Additional InformationWe urge City residents to contact or visit the Building inspections Division to deter-mine the flood zone and flood elevation for their property. Pompano Beach City Hall is at 100 W. 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. For More Information email [email protected] or contact Paola West, City of Pompano Beach CrS Coordi-nator at 954.454.7780 or Michael Rada, City of Pompano Beach Floodplain manager at 954.786.4062.
