A Message from
Mayor Peter Bober
Dear Neighbors,
Hardly a day goes by when there is not some mention of the Zika virus on TV or in the newspaper.
Unfortunately, the Zika virus is on its way to becoming a public health crisis. As of the time I write
this article, there have been 120 confirmed cases of the virus in Florida—including Broward County.
And, by the time you read this article, that number will almost certainly be higher.
Zika is a disease that is spread to people mainly by the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. The
most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually
mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week. Scientists studying the disease note that people usually don’t get sick enough
to go to the hospital, and they very rarely die of Zika. Because of that, many people might not realize they’ve been infected. What is
most significant about Zika, however, is that infection during pregnancy can cause a serious birth defect called microcephaly, as well as
other severe fetal brain defects. The birth defect gives babies smaller heads and frequently smaller brains that do not develop properly.
While occasional mosquito bites are usually viewed as simply part of living in South Florida, you should be very concerned about Zika
if you are in close proximity to anyone who is pregnant. Indeed, what is perhaps most insidious about Zika, is that a pregnant mother
who is bitten may not necessarily even know her baby is at risk until after she gives birth. In other words, a pregnant woman who takes
care of herself, exercises, eats well, avoids alcohol and does the myriad other routines to stay healthy, may nonetheless find out that it
was not enough to keep her child safe.
That scares me and it should scare you. The thought that a mosquito can bite an infected person and then become a carrier of the virus
and spread it to other people is jarring. To that end, the City of Hollywood is working with the Florida Department of Health Broward
County to distribute informational materials on its “drain and cover” program. These are two of the most important things each of us
can do to protect ourselves and prevent mosquitoes from multiplying.
-DRAIN standing water to reduce the places where mosquitoes can breed and multiply:
Discard: Old tires, drums, bottles, cans, pots and pans and other debris you may have stored where water can accumulate.
Empty and Clean: Bird baths and pet’s water bowls at least once or twice a week.
Protect: Boats and vehicles from rain with tarps that do no accumulate water.
Maintain: The water balance of swimming pools. Empty plastic pools that are not in use.
Plants: Certain plants, like Bromeliads, are, essentially, containers of standing water, where mosquitoes will lay hundreds of eggs.
-COVER your skin with clothing and use mosquito repellent:
Clothing: If you must be outside when mosquitoes are active, cover up. Wear shoes, socks, long pants and long sleeves.
Repellent: Apply mosquito repellent to bare skin and clothing. Repellents with DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon, eucalyptus and IR3535
are effective. Use mosquito netting for infants if you can.
Keep mosquitoes out of your house: Repair broken screens on doors, windows, porches and patios.
These measures are easy, reasonable and within the average person’s capability. In other words, doing nothing is simply unacceptable.
While it is my observation that government is frequently criticized for doing too little, too late; it does not have to be this way.
As a community, we need to get out in front of this thing. By following simple recommendations, while at the same time aggressively
searching for a vaccine, we can slow down the speed at which Zika is currently spreading. Zika is the real deal, and if the television
images of babies having smaller heads does not jolt us into action, then nothing will. As the Mayor, I deem Zika to be an issue of great
public importance and call on our residents to be mindful of themselves and their homes. All of us are in this fight, and all of us can
make a meaningful difference. Please be involved. Until we speak again, I wish you and your families all the best.
Sincerely,
PETER BOBER
Mayor

Summer is Back!!!
Vice Mayor Peter Hernandez
There is plenty going on that you should know about.
The idea of creating an Office of Internal Auditor was
brought up by the Mayor, and it narrowly passed on 1st
reading. When we voted on 2nd reading, the commission
unanimously agreed we could not afford the expense. If
warranted, we still have the ability to hire a firm to audit any
specific department or examine functions we choose and
report directly to us without having to change the City’s
charter or incur a perpetual expense. I would like to thank
our engaged residents who provided helpful feedback
through this process.
We still have issues when it comes to finances. There is a
projected shortfall of about $20 million for fiscal year 2017.
The City Manager has frozen all non-budgeted expenditures
and has asked all department heads to cut 5% from their
budgets to rein in expenses for the upcoming year. I would
ask that you think about something: the Beach Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA) has received and spent over
$234 million; the Downtown CRA over $80 million; and they
are in debt millions more. The Beach CRA has completed
some major projects including redoing the Broadwalk,
constructing the Garfield Street Garage and Charnow Park
and improving some of the street ends in the central Beach
area. The Downtown has installed lighting on some of the
streets from US-1 to 21st Avenue and renovated Anniversary
Park. A significant amount of money has mostly been used
on incentives for development. Some residents question if
we should continue the developer’s welfare assistance that
the CRA has provided, or if the CRA should focus on the
word ‘community’ and start enhancing in their respective
residential area that is lacking the fundamentals necessary
to improve.
I would like to thank the Adjutant General of the Florida
National Guard MG Michael A. Calhoun for the invitation
and Col. Rivas for spending time with me at the
Deployment Ceremony in April for the 1st Battalion 124th
Infantry Regiment. I would like to give a shout-out to these
brave and proud men and women; it was an honor to be
with them. They have been deployed to Africa for a year.
Imagine the sacrifices these families make, let’s keep them
in our prayers!
As always, you can reach me at 954.921.3321 or by email at

News from District 1
Summertime = Family Fun Time!
Commissioner Patricia Asseff
Spring is here and summer is just around the corner, which
means children will be out of school needing enriching
activities to fill their days. The City’s Department of Parks,
Recreation and Cultural Arts and its community partners
offer a wide variety of summer camps and programs. One
camp that always gets rave reviews is the Science, Education
and Adventure (SEA) Camp offered for kids’ ages 8 to 14 at
the Hollywood Beach Culture and Community Center. Each
day campers head out for interesting field trips to learn
about South Florida and our marine environment including
snorkeling, kayaking and paddle boarding expeditions.
For children looking to hone their acting or artistic chops,
the Hollywood Art and Culture Center has programs
tailored to children ages 4 to 18. The center offers camps
where children spend time working on their storytelling,
music, drama and improvisation skills, as well as visual arts
like painting and sculpting. There are also opportunities
at our local Hollywood YMCA, to keep children active and
engaged, as well as camps to develop golf or tennis skills or
learn to sail. Check out the City’s summer camp programs
at www.hollywoodfl.org/summercamps. For the Art and
Culture Center go to www.artandculturecenter.org and for
the YMCA, go to www.ymcasouthflorida.org.
Children won’t be the only busy ones this summer, the City’s
Utilities Department continues to work on an important
infrastructure project to address tidal flooding in District
1. After completing the installation of flapgate structures
around South Lake last year, this year the installation is
taking place around North Lake. Work began in March and
is continuing on schedule for completion in August. The
project involves installing or replacing 18 flapgates or one
way valves to prevent tidal water from backflowing into
the streets. There is a similar project being planned by the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) along A1A
that will begin construction this fall.
Enjoy the summer! This is the time of year when so many
families are taking trips and creating memories to last a
lifetime. I hope you will have many wonderful moments
whether you’re traveling or enjoying time right here at
home!
News from District 3
In order to carry a positive action we must
develop here a positive vision. - Dalai Lama
Commissioner Traci Callari
District #3 continues on the right path to improve its
surroundings. Just to mention a few:
• The Walmart Supercenter opened its doors for business last
month. The store is located on the SE corner of Hollywood
Blvd. and 441. It is great to see life on this corridor once
again. Renovations to 441 will continue through the next
couple years. The great news is the intersection with
Hollywood Blvd is set to be completed by June!
• Other exciting news is the Chuck Vollman Park (former
Okomo Trailer park) is soon to open. The grand opening
ribbon cutting is scheduled June 17, 2016 at 9 a.m. for all
Hollywood residents. Upon entering the park you will notice
a decrease in temperature due to the beautiful oak coverage.
Plenty of walking paths are available for a brisk stroll while
enjoying nature at its finest. The entrance and exit to the
park will be open for public use from dawn to dusk. Road
improvement along Taft Street and the train tracks will help
the flow of traffic and eliminate the turbulence that was
once a burden going over the tracks. Here is a little history
about Chuck Vollman and why the park was dedicated in
his name. He was a Hollywood activist who truly loved this
great City and the people who live here:
4
“Throughout Chuck Vollman’s life, he demonstrated a
passion for maintaining relationships with local neighbors
and government officials alike. He believed in building a
strong society where dedication and integrity ensured that
all measures carried out in the name of the community by
local neighbors and government officials were executed
with honor so that they could be accepted by all with
satisfaction.”
I am sure all those who knew Mr. Vollman would agree and
are very proud. Congratulations to all involved in making
this dedication happen.
• Plans to improve Johnson Street are moving along and
a community outreach meeting is going to be scheduled
for late June. We had hoped to have a meeting in May, but
it had to be cancelled due to concerns over stakeholder
notification by FDOT.
• I hope that everyone has a safe and cool summer. Notify
your local police department if you see any unusual or out
of the ordinary. “See it, say it!” You could save a life.
Please feel free to contact me with any and all concerns at

News from District 4
Patterns of Behavior
Commissioner Richard Blattner
It is 2:01 a.m. and I am awakened by Sassy, my soft, sweet,
cute black and white cat, who decided this was the right
time to jump on my bed and snuggle with me; something
she does regularly, but only after patrolling the house and
resting on any number of pieces of furniture and having a
midnight snack. Sassy has a pattern, as do most house pets.
And they have trained us to be responsive to their patterns.
Waking me up at 2 a.m. is a pattern. By a certain look or
sound, or position, they tell us what they want us to do:
feed them, let them out, let them in, play with them. They
actually have learned how we will react to their needs.
Patterns are predictable for humans as well. Patterns are also
traits, “distinguishing qualities or characteristics typically
belonging to a person” (or an animal).
Consciously or not, we recognize patterns as a matter of
course, and consciously or not, we respond and anticipate
them every minute of the day. They can protect us from
harm: we see an accident about to happen, and we swerve
out of the way; at a ball game, a foul coming in our direction
causes us to duck. Conversely, we can tell there’s a bakery
nearby when we smell fresh bread. We are able to recognize
a friend from a block away just by the way he or she walks.
In conversation, we often know where the speaker is going
just by the tone of voice; or their posture when in front of
us. Seldom are we mistaken, which is a good thing because
we can prepare a response, actually getting ahead of the
game. We learn these patterns from our life experiences,
and experience is clearly a great teacher.
The point is: people often act in predictable ways. With a
little thought and study, we can be prepared for the best,
or the worst of what is to come.
It is now 4:15 a.m. Couldn’t get back to sleep, so I wrote this
in my head. Now that it’s done, I am ready to go back to
sleep. Darn, the alarm just went off. Time to go to the Y for
my workout. The pattern holds.

Events & Accomplishments
Commissioner Kevin Biederman
There are so many things to say, but limited space to say
them, so I will just highlight some points of interest.
• The numbers and lines marking the streets throughout our
neighborhoods represent preliminary surveying for future
water main replacement projects.
• A new sidewalk was recently installed from 65th Way to
Sheridan Street to allow residents connectivity to public
transportation.
• Speeding! Please communicate with your neighbors about
speeding in the neighborhood or try and obtain a tag
number, so we may have our Police Neighborhood Team
Leader make contact with the violators. Resident support is
essential in combating this concern because these drivers
are typically our neighbors or neighbor’s visitors.
• The Hollywood Relay For Life event, benefitting the
American Cancer Society, was a success again this year.
I’m proud to report that the City of Hollywood employees
raised $12,529.58. I was honored to serve on the event
leadership committee. Thank you City of Hope Team and
other participants!
• The new Walmart on US441/SR7 and Hollywood
Boulevard has officially opened, providing 350+ jobs to
local individuals! The store is open 24/7 and serves as a
catalyst for the transformation of this corridor. Ross Dress
for Less, Burlington, Pollo Tropical, Taco Bell, TD Bank and
the Race Trac gas station will be on the out parcels.
• From career days at Sheridan Park Elementary, Boulevard
Heights Elementary and Driftwood Middle School to
the Russell Education Foundation’s Community Day, our
children prove to be a positive indication of what our future
will be if they continue to be curious and dedicated to
learning and growing. I must admit that Mr. Welch, a local
scientist participating in one of the days with me, was far
more exciting! I really have to step up my game.

News from District 6
The Phoenix Rises
Commissioner Linda Sherwood
I think at some time in our life we have heard of the myth
of the Phoenix. This large bird dies in flames and after many
years resurrects as a new and beautiful creature.
Well that’s exactly what came to my mind on April 20th
when the doors to the new Walmart on the corner of 441
and Hollywood Blvd. opened. While sitting on the stage
before the ceremony, I couldn’t help but think of the many
years this corner languished dead and empty. In 1992,
the Hollywood Fashion Center closed. As new homes and
communities were built far to the west, the businesses
in the mall followed. So for 24 years absolutely nothing
happened on this corner except for a brief 2 years when a
flea market was attempted and failed.
Now with this Walmart, life is beginning again to flow for this
very important corner. More than 200 people came for the
opening ceremony and to shop. They were so excited, they
broke though the ribbon before we could officially cut it.
Shortly, we will see Pollo Tropical and Taco Bell open. Then,
the RaceTrac gas station with a 6,000 sq. ft. convenience
store will break ground. This is a new concept for Race Trac
with fresh deli sandwiches, fruit and frozen yogurt with doit-yourself fixings. TD Bank will soon follow. With Burlington
now open in the former K-Mart building, it is wonderful to
see people coming out with shopping bags in their hands.
Next to Burlington, will be an Aldi’s which I believe is similar
to a discount Whole Foods. Across the street will be a Ross
Dress for Less and Wendy’s.
As 441 continues to be widened, the City is beginning the
re-zoning process to be consistent with the Transit Oriented
Corridor land use. The purpose is to be ready and inviting
for developers to construct great projects that will bring
in more taxes and eventually help us lower millage rates.
Lowering your millage rate is one goal each member of
your city commission is working towards. It is our end goal!!
In conclusion, please shop and eat in all our new businesses
so we can continue to see life flow openly on this stretch
of 441.
If you need me for any reason please contact me at
954.921.3321 and/or [email protected].
Walmart
Supercenter
Ribbon Cutting
Ceremony
A large crowd of curious and excited shoppers were onhand as local associates hosted a special ribbon-cutting
ceremony for the grand opening of the new Walmart
Supercenter located on the corner of US441/SR 7 and
Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood. Mayor Peter Bober
and Commissioner Linda Sherwood spoke of the retail
history of the property and the benefits of the new store
for the City and its residents. Presentations also included
$8,000 in grants from the Walmart Foundation awarded
to local community groups including Hollywood Police
6
Department, McArthur High School and Boy Scouts of
Southeastern Florida. The McArthur High School Band
entertained and Junior ROTC official raised the flag over
the store as part of the celebration.
The supercenter is approximately 183,000 square feet
and features fresh fruit and bakery items, a full grocery
department, as well as electronics, furniture, automotive
supplies, sporting goods, a home improvement section,
apparel, toys and garden center.
Don’t feed
the wildlife
Keep them healthy
It seems harmless enough, you may even think you’re
helping the animals survive, but feeding human food to
wild animals almost always leads to problems.
Take a look at what feeding bread to Muscovy ducks or
other water fowl can do—it can lead to a debilitating
condition called angel wing. Muscovy ducks are especially
prone to “angle wing” which causes the bird’s wings to
point out laterally rather than resting against its body, in
most cases, making it unable to fly. Without the ability to
fly, the birds can perish.
White bread has essentially no nutritional value to ducks
and birds and is loaded with empty calories. The bread
moves quickly through the animal’s digestive track which
in turn causes
an increase in
excrement
that
can be hazardous
to
human
health.
Such waste can be found
throughout neighborhoods; in playgrounds, on sidewalks
and driveways; and in our ocean and waterways. Bread
thrown to waterfowl in creeks, canals and ponds can also
pollute the water. Uneaten bread can cause poisonous
algal blooms and promotes the growth of mold that can
eventually poison the water. Please do your part and refrain
from feeding the wildlife.
Sea Turtle
Nesting Season
and Lighting Ordinance
Each year, from March through October, sea turtles such as Loggerhead, Green and
Leatherback’s make their way onto beaches in South Florida, including Hollywood
Beach, to lay their eggs. In 2015, the number of nests documented by the Broward
County Sea Turtle Conservation Program was the second highest since the program
began in 1981.
“The numbers from 2015 were pretty impressive,” said Derek Burkholder,
Ph.D., a research scientist at NSU’s Halmos College of Natural Sciences and
Oceanography. “The efforts of those in Broward County to heed the notices
during nesting season are paying off and we’re seeing more and more nests
and hatchlings.”
Efforts, such as Broward County’s marine lighting ordinance, require all
coastal cities to have turtle lighting ordinances on the books that conform to
state and federal laws. Hollywood adopted its marine Turtle Lighting Ordinance
on March 2, 2011 and phased in the requirements over several years to give
property owners time to make the needed changes. The ordinance requires
all artificial lighting fixtures located parallel to the beach be modified
in such a way so as to not disorient hatchling sea turtles.
Since March 1st a team of 40 researchers and students from
NSU have walked the nearly 22-miles of Broward’s shoreline
daily documenting new nests and checking the status of
existing nests. Loggerhead, Green and Leatherback turtle species
are considered threatened or endangered so protecting the nests
is vital for their future survival. Visitors to Hollywood Beach are reminded not to
interfere with nests or nesting turtles. Should you see a turtle in distress, please
contact the sea turtle emergency hotline at 954.328.0580.

Message from the City Manager
Dr. Wazir Ishmael
City Manager
A Careful Balance
Dear Residents,
What do you see when you look at the construction cranes dotting Hollywood’s landscape? Do you see progress and feel
excited about the possibility of new shops and restaurants, better housing, a more vibrant downtown? Or do you inwardly
groan, worry about increased traffic and congestion and long for a less urban environment? Or maybe, it’s a little of both.
By 2030, researchers predict 5 billion people—60 percent of the world’s population—will live in cities, compared with 3.6
billion today. That could mean great things for economic development if that expansion is planned for appropriately and City
leaders across the globe implement sustainable, resource-efficient ways to accommodate predicted population increases and
its concomitant challenges.
For many cities, Hollywood included, smart, sustainable growth means creating areas of mixed land use (i.e. residential,
office and commercial in the same building or within a comfortable walking distance) where increased densities are allowed,
supporting pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods and convenient mass transit. We are working toward this by partnering with
the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to make-over
key corridors like Hollywood Boulevard, Dixie Highway, US-441 and Federal Highway, using Complete Streets guidelines and
by pursuing re-zoning along these corridors to promote mixed use development.
Not only must we plan for growth and steer development, we must consider how we will provide critical City services in the
most cost effective and efficient manner possible. Will revenue (property taxes and fees) generated in our City cover the
cost of these services? As I look back over nearly two decades at the City of Hollywood’s budget, we have not been able to
consistently achieve a structural balance between the amount of money the City brings in and the amount of money we
need to effectively run our City. Projected budget shortfalls have been more the norm, than the exception. We have figured
out ways to make up the difference—mostly by deferring investment in things that would improve the City as a whole—but
I would like to see Hollywood do more than “make up the difference.” We need to develop a structurally balanced budget
where the recurring funding available to the City, covers recurring expenses and puts us on a path to sustainable prosperity.
This means we’ll face some tough choices. If there are lands we want to add to Hollywood’s abundant parks and open spaces,
are there other areas we can agree to judiciously develop? Can we find ways to cut operational costs and become more
efficient, enabling us to do more with less?
The most fundamental principle of sustainability is meeting the needs of the current generation without making choices that
will harm those who follow us. This applies to financial matters, the environment, social programs and public policies.
Creating a healthy, sustainable city will require prioritizing to the betterment of all, over the wants and desires of a few. It’s a
tricky balance and there is no crystal ball to definitively show us how decisions today will play out in the decades to come. Still,
I believe we can achieve that elusive balance by working together and trusting that we all want the same result: a thriving,
vibrant City, from east to west that provides a high quality of life for all our residents

Businesses are Choosing
Downtown Hollywood!
The Ebizelli Art Gallery and The
Rolon Group have chosen downtown
Hollywood as the place to do business.
The Rolon Group recently expanded its
operation into the Sun Trust Building at
2001 Hollywood Boulevard and Digital
painter Edmonde Bizelli recently opened
her modern-art gallery at 1864 Radius
Drive in downtown Hollywood.
Rolon Group owner Anthony Rolon, has
been a resident of Hollywood for eight
years and working in the same city as he
lives is much more than a convenience.
Anthony and his wife Wendy say they
appreciate the unique character of
the historic downtown arts, music and
entertainment district. “Our clients and
employees love the local vibe of our
downtown Hollywood offices,” Wendy
said. “It brings a real ‘family feel’ to
our organization, and the Downtown
Hollywood Mural Project, unique shops
and art galleries inspire creativity. It’s a
perfect place for a small marketing group
like ours.”
Artist Community Opens in Downtown Hollywood
L.Mercado Studios, a working artist community in
Downtown Hollywood, has burst onto the arts scene
with a full house of Artists in Residence, an array of
art class offerings and a visiting Artists Exhibitions
during the monthly Downtown Hollywood Artwalk
held on the 3rd Saturday of each month.
Hollywood residents Dorandy Mercado and Laura
Gasper opened L.Mercado Studios at 2000 Harrison
Street in early March. Their new joint venture offers
space for fellow artists in a variety of mediums to
create, display and sell their work in a supportive
environment where creativity and camaraderie thrive.
It features gallery space, a classroom, studio space and
a large ceramic kiln. L.Mercado Studios has already
become home to 10 full-time Artists in Residence.
“We have a lot of talented artists in the area, and
need community support to make it happen,”
For more information on
businesses or events in
Hollywood’s Downtown
and Beach districts, call
the Hollywood CRA at
954.924.2980 or visit
www.hollywoodcra.org
Ebizelli considers her new space the
next generation of art gallery. “In the
near future we’re going to feature
diverse emerging artists from all over
Europe,” she said. “I want this gallery
to be international. I want to attract an
international crowd.” Ebizelli Art Gallery
has found the ideal home in the historic
downtown arts, music and entertainment
district. “I looked everywhere and kind of
fell in love with downtown Hollywood. It’s
a growing area in a great location. There
are a lot of great restaurants and things to
do in downtown Hollywood.”
says Mercado who believes Downtown Hollywood is
poised to become a top arts community. Check out
L.Mercado Studios and these other new businesses in
Downtown Hollywood:

A comprehensive list of Public Utilities Capital Improvement Projects is available on
the City’s website. If you have specific questions about projects taking place in your
neighborhood, please call the Department of Public Utilities project information line at
954.921.3579, or e-mail [email protected].
$100 Rebate Offered
Older toilets can use 5 to 7 gallons per flush compared to low-flow models which use as little
as 1.6 gallons. Since the average person flushes the toilet five times a day, the amount of
water used adds up quickly. Consider replacing your old toilet with a new WaterSense High
Efficiency Toilet (HET). As an added incentive the City offers a rebate of up to $100 to help
cover most of the cost for purchase. If you can’t replace your toilet, consider installing a
new flapper to help conserve water. And don’t flush trash; simply throw away
tissues and other bathroom waste.

PROJECT
UPDATE
Best Tasting Drinking Water Hollywood tops 21 others to win!
If you want to quench your thirst with some great
tasting water, grab a glass and fill it up right here
in Hollywood! The Department of Public Utilities has
been named the winner of the “Best Tasting Drinking
Water” award by the Florida Section of the American
Water Works Association Region VI.
The contest was held in March with 22 utilities
participating. Hollywood submitted its sample
collected from a West Hollywood residence. Three
judges rated the water samples based on taste,
odor, clarity and color. The Hollywood water sample
received the highest total score of all the entries.
“This is the second win for the City for this award
and I’m just as proud today as I was in 2008,” said
Steve Joseph, Director of Public
Utilities. “Safety and quality
of our water supply is
paramount. I’m proud of the
staff who work tirelessly to
provide our customers with
the safest, highest quality,
best tasting drinking water
in South Florida.”
The City of Hollywood provides
more than 7 billion gallons of water
to over 145,000 permanent residents and
tens of thousands of seasonal residents and visitors
each year.
Twice a Week Watering
Save Water & Money!
Did you know South Florida residents have the highest water usage in the state? 145 gallons of water per
person everyday according to the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD).
By conserving water you’ll not only protect a valuable natural resource, you’ll lower your utility bill which
will save you money. Typically, South Florida’s rainfall is enough to meet the annual water needs of lawns
and landscaping, but if you have to water remember to follow the SFWMD’s year-round landscape irrigation
rules. In Hollywood, watering is limited to two days a week, either before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m., with oddnumbered street address watering on Wednesdays and/or Saturdays and even-numbered street addresses
watering on Thursdays and/or Sundays. For more water conservation tips, visit the City’s website, www.
hollywoodfl.org, or the SFWMD website at www.sfwmd.gov.

Safety
A Vacation
with a purpose
Ukrainian police
conference
Hollywood’s Police Chief, Tomas Sanchez, recently spent his vacation
time traveling to Romania and Ukraine as a police advisor. He was
part of a team of five police advisors who shared their expertise and
knowledge of best practices in law enforcement through hands-on
training and instruction. The team participated in several conferences
with high level commanders of each countries police force.
The Ukraine National Police recently restructured and now more
closely resemble the American policing model even adopting the
motto “to Serve and Protect.” Chief Sanchez and other members of
the team provided valuable information on community policing.
Touring the
border with
the Romanian
Special
Response
Team
Chief Sanchez
with the
Governor of
Suceava
In Romania, the group spent time with the border patrol observing
efforts to counter cross-border criminality and illegal migration along
the 381 mile border with Ukraine.
The team also met with the Governor of Suceava County and
discussed how infrastructure, primarily roadways in disrepair, are
impacting policing.
“One of the most memorable aspects of the trip was staying in a
government hunting lodge that once belonged to the former
Romanian Dictator Nicolae Ceausescu,” said Chief Sanchez. “The
home has all the trappings of royalty. Having been born in a country
under communist oppression, it was more than a little ironic to be
staying in the master bedroom of a ruthless communist dictator who
was overthrown for democracy.”

Community
On duty for
and for the
Hollywood Professional Firefighters came to the
assistance of a group of Apollo Middle School students,
who had won 2nd Place in the Regional Broward County
History Fair earning them a chance to compete in the
State History Fair in Tallahassee. Unfortunately, the team
didn’t have the funds needed for the trip and thought
they might have to forfeit.
Enter Humberto Fernandez, a Lieutenant with Hollywood
Fire Rescue and member of the Hollywood Professional
Firefighters Association (HPFF), the union that represents
Hollywood’s firefighters. When he heard the students
faced the possibility of forfeiting, he turned to his fellow
firefighters and collected individual donations to help
out. Once he’d made the rounds at the fire stations,
22
the HPFF donated
the remainder of the
money. At the end of April,
Lt. Fernandez and members of the
HPFF Executive Board presented the check to the school
and the students allowing them to go on to compete.
“We wanted to show the students that despite the
obstacles life may throw at you, you can succeed when
you work hard,” Said Lt. Fernandez as he addressed
the students. “We [Firefighters] do this because we
love helping the community, whether it’s running
emergency calls, or help those in matters such as this.”
He encouraged the students to “pay it forward” and help
someone else in need.

Wow Crowds!
The annual Public Safety Open House in May brought hundreds out to watch demonstrations
by Hollywood Police Officers and Firefighters. They saw SWAT members rappel down a

Achieving
Excellence in Education
The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus Visits

engineers on the latest audio and video recording
equipment.
Students were introduced to the technical details the
traveling studio, techniques for writing, performing,
recording and producing original songs, and how to
create broadcast quality music videos and documentaries.
In its 19th year on the road, the goal of the John Lennon
Educational Tour Bus program is to introduce students
to a career in audio, video and broadcast production.
Bethune Elementary in Hollywood was one of a select
group of schools in the nation chosen by the President’s
Committee on the Arts and Humanities to participate in
its successful Turnaround Arts initiative which integrates
the arts with traditional curriculum.

Beachside Montessori Village, a
public pre-K through 8th grade
school in Hollywood, was
recently designated a Green
Ribbon School by the U.S.
Department of Education—
one of only 47 schools
nationwide.

recognize schools that are exemplary in
reducing environmental impact and costs;
improving the health and wellness of students and staff;
and providing effective environmental and sustainability
education, which incorporates STEM (science, technology,
engineering and mathematics), civic skills and green career

designation and was recognized along with two public
school districts, Orange County and Alachua County.
A Lesson in Civics
Each spring, City Commissioner Richard Blattner works
with area high schools to invite students to attend a
City Commission meeting. The idea is to familiarize
them with local government and help them understand
the opportunities to make a difference by engaging in
their community. A group of seniors from South Broward
High School attended in April, and in May students in
AP Government at McArthur High School came for a
Commission Meeting.
”The meeting truly made me feel
like I was a part of what is going
on in my community…they
respected us teenagers
being there and allowing
EDUCATION IN
HOLLYWOOD
us to voice our opinions and concerns as well.” –excerpt
from report by Courtney Cook, South Broward High School
Senior, about her Commission meeting experience.
Building Plastic Bottle Boats
Students in the McNicol Middle
School Environmental Club have
been hard at work! Concerned
about the amount of plastic
used and its improper
disposal, the club held a
used plastic bottle and
bag drive at the school.
The original idea was
just to ensure the items
were properly recycled.
They never anticipated
the amount of bottles
and bags that would
be collected. Under the
guidance of Science Coach
Lara Ruddy, the group
began discussing ways to live
up to their club name, Growing
Awareness In All (GAIA). Students felt
if they could use the bottles and bags in some
way, they could bring awareness to the growing plastic
pollution problem in the environment.
They chose to build several boats out of the plastic bottles
and bags and in honor of Earth Day. The boats were launch
in Whiskey Creek to show the impact of plastics in our
waterways. Afterward, the boats were brought back to
shore, dismantled and recycled.

The PACE Program allows owners to pay for green or
energy efficient improvements to their property through
an assessment on their tax bill. Funds can be used to pay
for wind resistance measures and renewable electricity
generation. The funding is also good for air sealing and
ventilation systems, high impact and/or energy efficient
doors and windows, insulation, “cool” roofs, water heaters,

What is a Resiliency Action Plan?
Here in South Florida we have a lot of reasons to think about
resiliency. With a dense population, congested roads, and
infrastructure at risk to sea level rise, resiliency is on a lot of
people’s minds. The concepts of resiliency and sustainability
are closely related. Resiliency refers to the capacity to adapt
to change and recover from impacts. Sustainability refers
to actions that can be continued indefinitely because they
don’t deplete or impair the resource base. Actions which are
sustainable can contribute to resiliency.
That is why the Resilient Hollywood Task Force, led by the
City’s Environmental Sustainability Coordinator and made up
of representatives from departments across the City, has been
working on a Resiliency Action Plan for Hollywood. A Resiliency
Action Plan creates a common framework to identify goals and
objectives and the actions necessary to achieve them. There
are seven main areas: Leadership by Example, Mitigation and
Adaptation, Mobility, Resource Stewardship, Environmental
Quality, Built Environment, and Community Engagement.
Learn more by visiting the Sustainability webpage at www.
hollywoodfl.org. To contribute your input on the plan, please
email Lindsey Nieratka at [email protected].
RECYCLE it’s your future
How often do you recycle? Daily? Every once in a while?
Well here’s some good news: by recycling you can help
local schools!
Since 2010, Hollywood has offered a recycling rewards
program. Through the City’s partner, RecycleBank®,
residents earn points for recycling that can be redeemed
at www.recyclebank.com for various discounts at local and
national retailers. Besides redeeming points for rewards,
each year residents can also donate their points to schools
taking part in RecycleBank’s Green Schools Grant Program.
This year, two Hollywood schools applied to participate,
Beachside Montessori Village and McArthur High School.
Both were accepted and thanks to community support,
enough points were donated for each school to fund
environmental projects!
Goals Achieved!
199 Recyclebank users donated points earning McArthur
High School $2,114 for an aquaponics/aquaculture project.
228 Recyclebank users donated points earning Beachside
Montessori Village $2,500 for an environmental classroom

RECYCLING 101
Hollywood residents can recycle these items in their blue
recycling carts:
• Glass (brown, green, and clear) food and beverage
containers
• Plastic bottles and jugs without lids or caps
• Metal cans (steel, tin, and aluminum)
• Aseptics, including milk cartons and juice boxes
• Newspapers, including inserts
• Flattened corrugated card-board, maximum size 2 × 3
• Magazines, books, junk mail, catalogs, and office paper
• Paperboard boxes.
Hollywood’s Department of Public Works Environmental

Keep plastic bags out of the Recycling Stream
You try to do the right thing. You roll your recycling bin
to the street every week. But what if there was one thing
you were doing that was sabotaging your environmental
efforts?
Plastic bags are the bane of materials recovery facilities
(MRFs) where recyclables are taken for processing. Single
stream recycling relies on automated machinery to sort the
items by material and send them to the appropriate place
to be processed. Plastic bags get caught in the machinery
causing sorting errors and requiring the machines to be
shut down frequently
to remove the bags.
Shutting down the
machinery and rerunning
material
through the sorters
reduces efficiency and
increases costs.
It’s easy to take action
on this issue! Make
sure you don’t put
plastic bags in your
recycling cart. Or
better yet, ditch the
bags entirely and
instead use reusable
bags when you shop.
