A Message from
Mayor Peter Bober
You rarely achieve finality. If you did, life would be over, but as you strive new
visions open before you, new possibilities for the satisfaction of living. - Eleanor Roosevelt
Ladies and Gentlemen:
When I was first elected Mayor, I had this idea: I wanted to make Hollywood number one in
recycling among the cities in Broward County. I wanted to make it super easy, fun and create
incentives for recycling. I did a lot of research, reached out to the community, and ultimately,
persuaded my colleagues to create a program that was the first of its kind in the county. If you have
one of the nearly 40,000 big, blue recycling carts at your house, that bin is the result of that recycling
initiative. When we voted on adopting that recycling plan, I quietly said to myself “this really is the most amazing job in the
world.” Hollywood is now a top recycler in Broward County. Kudos to our amazing residents for their recycling efforts!
As my final term as your Mayor nears completion, my mind naturally has become reflective. I have written for this publication so
many times, and this article—my last—has been the hardest to write. For me, being in politics has been truly wonderful. From
growing up and walking two blocks to Hollywood Hills Elementary School, to riding my bike to Rotary Park, I simply never could
have imagined I would one day become the leader of a City with almost 145,000 people. Wow! What I never would have expected
were the meaningful friendships I’ve made—from people whose doors I knocked on asking for a vote—to the great, hardworking
employees I have worked with at City Hall—and most of all, the citizens who worked with me to move this City in a positive
direction. I am so grateful. I am also appreciative to all the great City Commissioners I worked with over the years who, as part of
a team effort, moved Hollywood forward.
A very special “thank you” goes out to my parents, Fran and Larry Bober. The next best thing after getting to become Mayor is
to have your parents alive to actually see it. They are proud of me, and I am so proud of them—especially my dad. To think he
came to the U.S. from Cuba with virtually nothing, made the best decision of his life in marrying my mother, raised four boys, and
built a life here in Hollywood, is truly amazing. A big “thank you” is also due my wife, Samara. I cannot overstate her importance
in this whole thing, and the level of sacrifice she has put in at home and at work so I could pursue public service. If it were not for
her love and support (and juggling ability), my public service would not have been possible. I love her very much and appreciate
all she has done.
People frequently ask me, “What’s next?” Great question. As long as it is challenging and interesting, I’ll take a look. If it involves
future public service, that is fine, but if I am not in politics, my life will still go on. I will still continue working in the community,
practicing law, and handling personal injury and employment cases. Public service is truly an honor, but there are many ways in
which I can try to leave this world better than I found it.
I am proud to have steered Hollywood through the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, and this City is finally
on the rebound. From the east to the west, construction is helping to modernize the City and its infrastructure. Ultimately, my
decision to voluntarily forego another term reflects my feeling that I was actually able to get things done on some important issues:
government accountability and transparency, ethics reform, term limits, campaign finance reform, fiscal restraint and building up
our budget reserves, civility at public meetings, recycling/environmental stewardship, smart and balanced redevelopment, reducing
crime, improving major corridors, and recognizing the service of our veterans. Simply put, I worked on many issues I championed
during my campaigns, and now is the right time for me to move on and make way for the next leader Hollywood chooses.
Indeed, come this November, Hollywood will choose a new mayor. The stakes could not be higher, and who you choose matters
greatly. This City will fail or succeed based in large part on whether the next head honcho can provide new, fresh leadership—not
a return to failed policies of the past. Anybody running for office can promise the moon, sun, and stars like “lower taxes, better
infrastructure, more police, better schools.” Everyone agrees those are great goals, but as the saying goes, “talk is cheap.” The
question for any person running for office, is can they articulate a workable plan for accomplishing what they propose. Indeed, if
a candidate promises lower taxes, you’d better ask them what specific cuts they propose to offset the reductions in revenue and
determine if the numbers match. More police? Great. Better roads? Super. Now, what’s the plan
to pay for it, or are they offering “fuzzy math”?
If there is one thing I learned as Mayor, it is you have to be straight with people. It’s the
right thing to do, and people actually appreciate it. For all my years in public life, I
have had the job of a lifetime and I am so grateful to all the residents who entrusted
me to represent them in local government. Knowing I was elected to represent the
will of the people, I have never commenced a city commission meeting without
realizing the gravity of the decisions we make. Thank you, again, for giving me
the greatest honor in the world—the ability to serve others.
Sincerely,
Peter Bober, Mayor

News from District 2
Less Heat, Smoother Roads
Vice Mayor Peter Hernandez
Autumn is here! Even though the heat will not disappear,
it will feel better. Underground utility-work projects are
taking place in District 2 to improve water pressure and
install or replace fire hydrants as needed. We have received
plenty of emails and calls complaining about the condition
of the streets during this process. After looking like a war
zone with holes, bumps and metal valve coverings sticking
up, the repaving is underway. The process requires the
Florida Department of Health to approve the lines for use
before the streets can be resurfaced. Rest assured, I too
drive on these roads, and want them finished as much as
you do. For reference, the first area (west of 26 Ave.) took
18 months to be completed.
You may also see what appears to be a waste of water from
blue pipes on every other corner with pouring water; this
is part of the process to disinfect the pipes. This work is
taking place in South Central. Questions have been raised
about Zika and these water puddles that are created from
the disinfecting process; the water is constantly running
and chlorinated such that the risk of mosquitoes breeding
is low. However, if you see the water going to a place
where it gets stagnant, please let us know.
During the Florida League of Cities State Convention that
took place here in Hollywood, some of my colleagues
and I spent time with a group of students. These future
leaders are from HPD’s Youth Ambassador Program that is
in its inaugural year thanks to Commissioner Callari who
spearheaded the initiative. Prior to the conference, we
were paired with members so they could experience what
a Commissioner does on an average day. Mr. Giovanni
Brooks was my assignee. He attends South Broward
High and his family resides in District 2. We started from
City Hall around 8:30 a.m. and as my usual routine, we
drove throughout the neighborhood’s bumpy streets
due to the above mentioned. We discussed the work
being undertaken by FDOT on Pembroke Road and the
resurfacing and street-end reconfigurations needed. We
also came across a large box of construction debris that
had fallen off someone’s vehicle on Sheridan Street. Cars
were swerving to avoid hitting it. We pulled up behind it,
turned on our flashers, and called it in. When Public Works
came, I put on my gloves and helped. We then went to
lunch, were Giovanni said the day was not what he had
expected—he thought it would have been in an office
reading papers all day. I told him the reading gets done at
night when one is uninterrupted by daily tasks. I hope to
see the youth get more involved in our local government.
The future will be in their hands. As always, you can reach
me at 954.921.3321 or at [email protected]

News from District 1
Beach and Budget
Commissioner Patricia Asseff
If you’ve spent any time on the beach over the past few
months, you know Hollywood Beach has never been
more popular. To better accommodate the crowds and
manage the impacts that come from more people on the
beach, we made some adjustments to the City’s Beach
Ordinances to allow for more effective enforcement and
address issues with large tents and canopies. The new
regulations create a canopy/tent zone ten feet from
the Broadwalk wall extending east to ten feet from the
lifeguard stands; prohibit canopies larger than 10 ft. x 10
ft.; and require 10 ft. of separation between canopies.
The old regulations that prohibited any food or drinks
on large sections of the beach have been revised
allowing beachgoers to have snacks and non-alcoholic
drinks in coolers under 36” wide. Tables, grills or any
other cooking devices are prohibited. I’m hoping this will
help make the beach more accessible for everyone with
clearer regulations that make more sense and are easier
to enforce.
We are now into a new fiscal year at the City and while
the tax rate remains steady, we did have to make
tough choices to close a more than $20 million dollar
gap between anticipated revenues and expenditures.
This means we have work to do in the year ahead. The
administration is exploring ways to reduce health care
costs for our valued City employees, while still ensuring
quality health coverage; and we will be taking a close
look at options for managing pension costs. One source
of additional revenue to the City for the new fiscal
year is the Beach District of the Hollywood Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA). After completing an
audit of the enhanced services provided by the City, we
now have an agreement in place with the CRA to fully
fund these services. This agreement will provide $4.8
million in FY 2017. Additionally, excess tax increment
funds generated in the beach district due to strong
property value growth will be returned to the various
taxing authorities. For the City, this means an additional
$3 million in much needed funding.
As we head into the fall, I want to encourage you to
stay informed about local issues. Sign up for email
notifications on the City’s website, HollywoodFL.org,
report code issues via Help Me Hollywood and check out
the Calendar of Events for meetings and special events
in the City.

Time Spent Wisely
Commissioner Traci Callari
Can you believe that a little over a decade ago social
media was a budding trend? Today, it’s a way of life.
Social media has changed the world for the good, the
bad, and the ugly. During our commission summer break,
I had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with my
family. We explored the great outdoors where internet
connectivity was extremely limited. We had great
conversations, interacted with strangers, and laughed
with friends face to face instead of typing an LOL or a
😃! As each day came to an end, we would reach for our
iPhones and bury our heads in social media. That’s where
the good, the bad, and the ugly starts.
4
game. Online debates on news topics are something for
everyone to read and comment on; but, rumors based
on opinions and thoughts, not always facts and truths,
can also spread. Posting vacation pictures can open the
door to home burglaries. If social media is used without
proper thought, regret, embarrassment, and irreversible
damage can occur. As I mentioned in “The Good,” there’s
little room for error.
The Good: Hollywood stores, restaurants and neighbors
are keeping up with the best when it comes to social
media. SnapChat, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram
and LinkedIn all provide connectivity. The most “tech
savvy” individuals lead fast paced, multitasked lifestyle
that leaves time for fun and very little room for error.
Social media offers a vast amount of opportunity. The
world is literally at your fingertips, day or night.
The UGLY: This is the main reason I chose to share my
thoughts. Safety and a strong community are my main
priorities. My profession is not only a commissioner, but
a nurse. My heart is bigger than life and my daily goal is
to make things a little better. Social media has made this
more challenging. Sexting and cyber bullying can create
anxiety, youth depression and even suicide. Social media
is designed for expression and sharing experiences, but
it also provides a completely different world. Instead of
Facebook, it’s Fakebook, Instagram is Finstagram. Many
are living a dual life, not a REAL life. No matter how
accomplished and stable they seem, they’re vulnerable.
The Bad: My dearest friend always favors the statement
“hate the game, not the player.” That seems to apply
to social media. A large business can now experience
major competition from the “little guys”- it’s a fair
I encourage all social media users, especially parents, to
be aware of the Good, the Bad, and most important the
UGLY. Set limits, communicate less with social media
and more face to face.
News from District 4
The Budget: Where do we go from here?
Commissioner Richard Blattner
We have just adopted the Fiscal Year 2017 City Budget. Once
again, we are skinny and have had to make tough decisions
on how to marshal our resources. A legitimate question
would be: how do we get out of this cycle?
I think the answer is that it will take a while because our effort to
ramp up economic development efforts doesn’t have a quick
return. Concentration on these elements will definitely result
in a changed and more prosperous community: Completion
of the reconstruction of 441; implementation of new zoning
along 441, the Dixie Highway and Federal Highway corridors;
the Complete Streets program on Hollywood Blvd. between
City Hall and the FEC tracks; and the award of a contract to
build a mixed-use, transit oriented project on the site of our
Shuffleboard courts. Additionally, the new FPL natural gas
plant at the Port and the Walmart property come online for
tax purposes, and will generate revenue for decades.
Certainly passage of the Penny SalesTax will enable Hollywood
to address aging infrastructure and make significant and
noticeable progress in meeting our long list of unfunded
needs. Remember, both half penny issues have to pass or both
will fail.
Importantly, the City and its collective bargaining partners
must continue to meet with the objective of reducing
unfunded pension liabilities. This won’t be easy or quick
either, but the process has begun.
During the past month, I have been meeting with School
Board members to share thoughts on how we can provide
enhancements to our schools. This is a “MUST.” The concept
of school choice includes charter schools, private schools, and
now open enrollment. What that means is that a student can
enroll in any school in Florida that has room. So families can
choose schools based on recorded quality, special programs,
geography, etc. Public schools now have to compete with
each other to maintain and increase enrollment. Yes, money
is involved, because schools that want to offer special
programs, become a magnet, etc., have to come up with the
funds to pay for those. So, choice may be good, but it has
consequences.
This past week, I have lost two good friends: Mel Pollak
and Nancy Brizel. Mel was a great community leader and
led the Hollywood Hills Civic Association, the Council of
Civic Associations, and the CDAB. Additionally, he was the
Commission appointment to the Police Pension Board. Nancy
was one of the founders of the Jewish Community Center and
the Jewish Federation. It is always too soon, isn’t it.

Planning for Your Neighborhood
Commissioner Kevin Biederman
I hope everybody enjoyed their summer and had plenty
of fun family times. We are so lucky to be living here in
our wonderful City of Hollywood, even with some of
our imperfections, I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
In an effort to evolve Hollywood into the 21st Century,
City leaders developed a Master Plan, with input from
each neighborhood. Committees were formed and took
into consideration each area’s strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats to safety and livability. This
Master Plan also asked neighbors what would turn the
weaknesses into strengths, and set goals for these various
needs, including programming, services and infrastructure.
Some of these objectives have been brought to fruition
over time, like added sidewalks, new parks, a community
pool and more. We have been successful in adding some
new improvements such as a wildlife habitat and butterfly
garden along Sheridan Street, additional storm drainage,
and work is soon to begin to enhance the dog park section
at John Williams Park, thanks to the Driftwood Civic
Association and the City.
Recently the City has been reaching out to the neighborhood
associations to update the individual “Master Plans.” I
would like to encourage all of our residents to voice their
opinions to the association that represents them and let
their leadership know what you think we could do to make
Hollywood a better place to live. If you live in Boulevard
Heights (West of the Turnpike and between Hollywood
Boulevard and Taft Street) the association meeting is on the
2nd Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. and the Driftwood
neighborhood (west of the Turnpike between Taft Street
and Stirling Road) is the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m.
I hope to see you at one of these two meetings and hear
what you have to say. As Broward County residents come
out to vote in November, they will be asked to consider an
infrastructure sales tax, which will provide necessary funds
to all of the cities in Broward County, Hollywood and your
neighborhood included. Now is the Time! What is it you
would like for your neighborhood to improve the quality
of life for your family. If you can’t come out to one of these
meetings, I am always available on my personal cell phone

Similarities Abound
Commissioner Linda Sherwood
I had the opportunity to visit Asheville, NC this summer
and found multiple similarities with Hollywood. You see
we are not alone in the world of having to overcome
obstacles. Just like Hollywood, Asheville is a tourist
based city and economy. No, they do not have a
beautiful beach, but they do have lakes and gorgeous
mountain views. Guess who has parking problems in
their downtown? Yup, Asheville does, just like downtown
Hollywood. We spent more than a 1/2 hour driving
around to find somewhere to park. They did have an
interesting option. During business and office hours
they rent spaces by the month to employees in what
appeared to be covered breezeway parking between two
buildings. After 6 p.m. there is an APP one can access to
park in the same spot for $3.00/hour. Hollywood’s Park
Mobile APP will be modified within the next few months
for our residents allowing them to pay 1/2 the price it
will cost non-residents to park on the beach. We want
our residents to have cost-friendly parking access to
our beach and downtown. Other common features are
music, art and restaurants. We felt very much at home.
And upon arriving home, we were reminded of how
much is happening in Hollywood. 441 is progressing and
presentations of 441’s re-zoning are making their way
around the City. The RaceTrac at 58th and Hollywood
Blvd is under construction. Washington Park is preparing
for new LED street lighting. Hollywood Gardens West
has been informed with presentations and a timeline
for their new sidewalks. The new CVS on Park Rd. and
Hollywood Blvd. passed the Planning and Development
Board’s approval. Work is well underway at the new
Parkview at Hillcrest development and the burrowing
owls on the 9 hole golf course have been relocated. We
had a good turn-out for “The National Night Out Against
Crime” and provided back-to-school backpacks and
school supplies for students. The City Commission had a
busy September with regular commission meetings and
two public budget hearings to finalize the budget for
fiscal year 2017 which is now underway.
Whether in Asheville or Hollywood the goals and obstacles in
every city remain very similar and sharing ideas always helps.

Zika Virus
Help Prevent the Spread
Living
in
Florida,
mosquitoes are seemingly
part of our everyday life,
but since February there’s
been a new health concern
related to mosquitoes—the
Zika virus. According to the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC),
the Zika virus causes a generally mild illness with a rash,
fever and joint pain, but the bigger concern is the link
between the virus and harm to unborn babies if the
expectant mother contracts the virus during pregnancy.
You can help reduce the number of mosquitoes and
prevent the spread of mosquito-borne diseases like Zika.
Stop Mosquitoes from Breeding
• At least once a week, empty, turn over or cover
things that can hold water, such as toys, tires,
buckets, birdbaths, etc.
• Store outside items in a covered area if they can
hold standing water.
• Keep flower pots and saucers free of standing water
and flush out water-retaining plants like bromeliads
with a hose once a week.
6
Protect Yourself from Bites
• Use an EPA approved mosquito repellent.
• Follow the repellent label instructions.
• Do not spray repellent on skin under clothing
• If you are using sunscreen, apply sunscreen first and
insect repellent second.
• Do not use insect repellent on babies younger than
2 months old.
• Spray insect repellent onto your hands and then
apply to face.
• Wear long sleeves and long pants.
• Repair holes in window and door screens or use
mosquito netting.

The Value of Trees
Hollywood is a Tree City USA. This distinction is more than just
a gold star for being green. Trees provide real, measurable
value to the City. Not only do trees make streets look nicer
raising property values, they have been correlated with
reducing crime rates and slowing driving speed. They also
improve the environment by providing habitat for wildlife
and absorbing carbon dioxide. Trees enhance human health
through improving air quality, reducing air temperatures
and reducing stress levels. Trees help manage storm water
and reduce flooding. They also save money by reducing air
conditioning costs and businesses that add trees outside
storefronts report increases in sales.
Hollywood is actively working to enhance its tree canopy.
Through a grant from TD Bank and the Arbor Day Foundation,
the City has been planting trees in the Hollywood Gardens
West neighborhood. You can help with the final planting and
creating an inventory of street trees on October 22. You’ll
learn more about our street trees and tools you can use to
enhance the value of the tree canopy in your neighborhood.
For more information, contact Lindsey Nieratka, lnieratka@
hollywoodfl.org, 954.921.6672.
Keep Your Trees Trimmed Make it a Sustainable
& Avoid Fines!
School Year
Trees need proper trimming and maintenance to remain
healthy. Hollywood’s Code of Ordinances requires property
owners to keep their trees reasonably pruned and trimmed.
This applies both to trees rooted on their property, as well as
trees located within the swale area abutting their property
(the grassy area between the sidewalk and the roadway).
Branches are more likely to break off and fall from trees
that are not properly maintained causing property damage,
injuries and liability for the property owner.
Tree Trimming Info:
• Tree branches must be pruned to provide clearance over
roadways and sidewalks. 14½ foot clearance is required
over roadways - 8½ foot clearance is required over
sidewalks.
• Never attempt to trim any vegetation growing on or
near power lines. Only specially trained line-clearing
professionals should work around power lines. Use a
contractor qualified to trim vegetation around power
lines or contact Florida Power and Light at 800.468.8243.
• Information on proper tree pruning techniques is available
online at www.broward.org. Search “Tree Pruning.”
For questions regarding tree trimming requirements, please
contact the Public Works Department at 954.967.4526.
A new school year is an opportunity for new habits and
new commitments to being green!
Reduce waste from lunches:
Use a reusable bag, washable food and drink containers
and a cloth napkin.
If your child gets lunch at school, send them with a cloth
napkin, stainless steel straw, and metal spoon and fork.
Teach them to say “no thank you” to the disposable
versions in the lunch line.
Reduce impact of drop off and pick up:
If you live close enough, walk or bike to school with your
child. Organize a neighborhood “walking school bus”
and share the responsibility of supervision with other
parents.
When picking up or dropping off your child at school, turn
off your car engine while waiting. Work with your school
on a “no idle” policy. Idling creates air pollution around
the school that can aggravate asthma and allergies.
Reduce energy use from electronics:
Make sure you are unplugging chargers when not in use
to save energy. Put all your chargers on the same power
strip and turn it off when not needed.

Message from the
City Manager
Dr. Wazir Ishmael
City Manager
Dear Residents,
Each year in compliance with state statutes, city and county governments must adopt balanced budgets for the fiscal
year which starts on October 1st and ends on September 30th. The budget must be balanced so that the total of the
estimated revenues from taxes and all other revenue sources for the year ahead equals the total to be appropriated for
expenses and reserves.
As we began preparing the proposed budget for fiscal year 2017, we had to close an approximately $24 million gap
between the amount of money we expected to have in fiscal year 2017 and the amount we projected we would need to
cover expenses. This required difficult and painful choices including up to 5% cuts in the resources of each operating
department/office, freezing dozens of vacant positions, and reducing services in many areas. While the City’s tax base
is recovering from the housing collapse and recession that gripped the nation in 2009, the overall taxable value for
property in the City is still not what it was in 2008. Meanwhile, our expenses continue to grow.
To address the City’s ongoing structural budget imbalances, we face critical decisions. We must work with our pension
plans and employee unions to address the cost of retirement benefits. We are exploring options to reduce health
care costs through a thorough analysis of our current coverage, and we need to continue making strides in balancing
revenues and costs with the Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency. These efforts, including smart growth
policies, must be pursued and tangible and lasting solutions developed to allow the City to prosper in a sustainable
manner.
While some of Hollywood’s financial hurdles are unique, one area governments across the country have struggled to
address is the need to reinvest in aging infrastructure and transportation networks. This is particularly true in Florida,
one of the lowest taxed states in the country. That’s why Broward County and all its municipalities have worked
collaboratively to put a 1% increase in the sales tax on the November 8th ballot. Increasing the sales tax by a penny for
each dollar spent would generate money to fund transportation and local infrastructure improvements. For Hollywood,
it could mean an estimated $12.6 million in the first year and up to $495 million over the entire 30 year term. 30% of the
revenue is expected to come from visitors to our area. I hope everyone will take some time to learn about the Penny at
Work initiative and explore the website www.apennyatwork.com for more information.
Finally, as we look at ways to be as efficient as possible, we are increasingly using electronic communications to reach
our residents. We’d like to better understand how you stay informed about what’s happening in the City. We hope you’ll
take part in a communications survey we have placed on our website at www.hollywoodfl.org/communications. Share
your thoughts about the kind of information you most want from the City and the way in which you want it.
Enjoy the fall; it’s one of the best times of the year in Florida!

Funds from the other half cent (.5%) would go to the City of
Hollywood and others cities throughout Broward County
for infrastructure improvements. Here in Hollywood, the
sales surtax would provide an estimated $12.6 million in
the first year and would help fund various improvement
projects:
Public Safety/City Facilities
• Replace Police Vehicles, Fire Engines & Equipment
• New Fire Station Construction
• Upgrades to Existing Fire Stations
• Police Administration & Training Facility
• City Facility Renovations
Infrastructure/Transportation
• Street and Alley Resurfacing
• Street Lighting
• Transportation/Traffic Calming
• Neighborhood Improvements
• New/Replacement Sidewalks
• Septic to Sewer Conversions
• Bridge Repairs
• Turtle Lighting Improvements
Parks and Recreation
• Park and Community Center Improvements
• Playgrounds, Sport Courts, Fields and Facilities
Improvements
• Park Security and Lighting Enhancements
• Boat Launch and Marina Improvements
Environmental Sustainability/Resiliency
• Environmental Resiliency Projects
• Open Space/Land Acquisition
• Public Sea Wall Construction
• Beach Renourishment
Broward County is not
alone. Across the country
in cities such as Atlanta
and Los Angeles, voters
are being asked to consider
similar questions. Palm Beach
County voters will also be asked to
approve a similar ballot measure
in November.
“We encourage residents to
learn the facts about these
ballot questions and make
the best decision,” says Dr.
Wazir Ishmael, City Manager.
A website has been created
to help inform voters about
these two ballot questions.
Learn more about the two
sales surtax questions at
www.APennyAtWork.com
or call Lorie MertensBlack, Chief Civic Affairs
Officer, at 954.921.3201 if
you have questions.
Vote November 8th
The November election isn’t only about electing the next President of the United States, it’s
also about electing a new Congress, new state senators and representatives, new county
officials and a new City of Hollywood Mayor and Commissioners in District 1,2,4, and 6.
There are also the two ballot questions on the penny increase in the sales tax in Broward
County.
Make sure you vote. You can vote on election day, November 8th, at your polling location
or you can vote early from October 24 to November 6 at one of the twenty-one early voting
locations in Broward County. For more information on ways to vote, go to the Broward
Supervisor of Elections website, www.BrowardSOE.org

How does your business grow?
in Hollywood!
Café Craze Hits Hollywood
The café scene in the South of France
is romanticized in books, movies
and travel guides. Now, a new
business in Hollywood is bringing
that classic French café concept
to a new venue. Le Petit Paris &
Café Nosh is nestled in the heart
of the offices at Presidential Circle,
4000 Hollywood Boulevard. With
a recent change in ownership, the
café is now offering breakfast and
lunch with a French twist. Owner,
Nicolas Pacaoud, brings his family’s
restaurant experience from the
South of France to the new venue
with a menu that offers traditional
soups, salads and sandwiches, along
with a wide selection of pastries like
Éclair Chocolat, Lemon Meringue
Tartlet, assorted Macarons and Petits
Choux, Chocolat Coulant (Gluten
Free) and more.
“The central location of Hollywood
with easy access to major corridors
and airport made it an ideal spot to
operate a business,” said Pacaoud.
According to Shopping Center
Today, the café business is growing
and expanding into different types
of venues from office complexes to
hospitals and supermarkets offering
trendy gathering spots for office
workers and shoppers. Pacaoud,
who first discovered Hollywood as a
vacation destination, was drawn to
the City because of its hometown
feel within a major metropolitan
area.
“
“
The central location
of Hollywood with
easy access to major
corridors and airport

10
a go to destination for design
professionals. Companies like Jerry
Pair, Stark Carpet, Scalamandre,
Stephen Turner, J Nelson, Snaidero
and Florida Blinds & Drapery, have
found Hollywood to be an ideal
location for their services.
“It is not congested like other cities
nearby and it is a nice place to raise
a family,” says Pacaoud, who wants
to expand his café operation to a
location on Hollywood Beach in the
future.
Interior Design Firms Find Niche in
Hollywood
Tiffany Fabrics, a family-owned
company specializing in fabrics
and upholstery, custom window
treatments and custom furniture
has expanded its operations
in Hollywood opening a new
6,000 square foot showroom
in the South Florida Design
and Commerce Park along
I-95.
“Having a storefront fronting
one of the major interstates,
I-95, in South Florida is a dream
come true,” says Zion Levy,
Tiffany Fabrics founder and owner.
Levy, a 43 year Hollywood resident,
started the company out of his home
in 1973. He now employs six people
and specializes in hotel and megayacht interiors.
The new Tiffany Fabrics showroom
joins a growing cluster of high end
design firms that have located in
South Florida Design and Commerce
Park. These firms have made the
park, located between Sheridan
and Stirling Streets along I-95,
“South Florida Design and
Commerce Park has evolved
into a center point for the design
district as it continues to attract
companies like Judith Norman
Now and Niba Rugs Collection in the
past year,” says Steven Wasserman,
Executive Vice President- Industrial
Division for Jones Lang LaSalle a
company specializing in commercial
real estate management. The central
location of the park with easy access
to major interstates, the airport and
shipping port, along with upgraded
facilities at reasonable asking rental
rates make the park a perfect home
for these businesses.

NEIGHBORHOOD WATER CHALLENGE
CONTEST WINNERS ANNOUNCED
and the winner is…
After hundreds of entries, the
Neighborhood
Water
Challenge Contest Winners
have been announced, and
the City of Hollywood takes
home the coveted “Most
Community Engagement”
more than Award! The surprise
announcement
was
made at the September
7th City Commission
gallons
meeting.
1 BILLION
of water
SAVED
“It’s not easy to get
people
involved
because most people
want to see immediate results,” said April Taylor,
Public Utilities’ Outreach Coordinator. However,
the City of Hollywood’s Public Affairs team worked
vigorously to get the word out and educate
residents. The Department of Public Utilities would
like to acknowledge and thank all its customers
who continue to make, an effort to conserve water.
To see the individual winner results, please visit
conservationpays.com.
In the past four
years, through the
ConservationPays
Broward Water
Partnership,
Broward County
residents,
nonprofits
and
businesses
have
saved more than 1
billion gallons of water!
Let’s keep the momentum
going...The City of Hollywood still
offers $100 toilet rebates to single-family,
multi-family and commercial properties. Stop
throwing money down the toilet and apply for
your rebate today! For complete details about the
Toilet Rebate Program, please visit our website at
www.hollywoodfl.org.
The Broward Water Partnership is a collaboration
between Broward County and 18 utilities and local
governments, including Hollywood, that work
together to provide information and programs to
residents on year-round water conservation.
Please pick up after me!
Leaving pet waste on City streets, yards or sidewalks isn’t just “a little extra
fertilizer.” In urban areas, stormwater moves quickly to open water bodies
leaving no time for natural degradation processes to occur. That means if you
don’t pick up your pet’s waste, you are not helping protect the water supply. Help
us keep our pets, citizens, and environment healthy by taking a minute to bag your
pet’s waste and dispose of it in the toilet or trash.
If you wouldn’t want to swim in it, why would you let it go down a storm drain?
For questions or to report a spill, please call 954.921.3414.
For after hours spill/illegal discharge reporting, please call
the Broward County Spill Hotline at 954.519.1499.

Hollywood Fire Rescue Gets SAFER Grant
The Department of Fire Rescue and Beach Safety received notification that its efforts to get federal funding for additional
firefighters have paid off. The Department was awarded a grant under the Department of Homeland Security’s Staffing
for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant Program. The grant will fund 6 firefighter positions for 2 years.
The SAFER grant program was created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest
organizations to help them increase or maintain the number of trained, “front line” firefighters available in their communities.
Surge in Heroin Use
a conversation with
HPD’s Assistant Police Chief
Q: We’ve heard a lot in the news about the national
growth in heroin use and heroin laced with other
drugs. What is the Police Department seeing
here?
A: Assistant Police Chief Chris O’Brien: Since the
beginning of the year, we’ve seen a significant
increase in deaths due to suspected drug
overdoses across the City, particularly in the
past 3 to 4 months. A majority of the deadly
overdoses appear to be heroin related based on
evidence found at the scenes including narcotic
paraphernalia, syringes and baggies of heroin.
What’s really concerning is we suspect the heroin
is being laced with Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic
opioid painkiller some experts say is 50 times
more powerful than heroin. The official cause of
death in these cases is determined by the Broward
County Medical Examiner and many of these
overdoses are still pending toxicology results.
24
Q: How can law enforcement combat these more
powerful drugs?
A: Assistant Police Chief Chris O’Brien: We actively
work with other local agencies and federal
partners like the DEA on these issues. This is a
national issue that has to be tackled on multiple
fronts. From a law enforcement perspective, we
are seeking to locate the source of this deadly
heroin by gathering intelligence from interviews
with family members and friends of the victims and
from overdose
victims who’ve
survived.
We’re
also talking to our
“street sources.”
Q: This trend obviously
has deadly consequences
for drug users, do you think word is spreading
about how dangerous this is?
A: Assistant Police Chief Chris O’Brien: There’s
growing recognition of the link between
prescription drug use and heroin. Research from
the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA),
shows 4 out of 5 heroin users first became
addicted to prescription painkillers. To help save
lives, people need to take the early warning signs
of drug abuse seriously and get help. This new
form of heroin appears to be so potent, it doesn’t
allow for second chances.
Drug Overdose Calls
Source: Hollywood Fire Rescue Jan 1 to Present
• 28 deadly overdose cases
• 7 overdose rescue calls where paramedics
administered Narcan and revived the patient
• 338 rescue calls where Narcan was used on
unconscious patients in which the cause of their

Hollywood
A Great Place for All Ages
In the U.S., the population of people age 65 and over is
expected to grow from 35 million in 2000 to 88.5 million
in 2050. That means in the three decades people over age
65 will make up approximately 20 percent of the total
population.
The City of Hollywood recognizes that various features
of a community can help residents live comfortably in
their home and community as they age. To that end,
the City has created an Age Friendly Community Task
Force to focus on initiatives in areas such as: housing,
caregiving, community engagement, volunteering, social

Food Waste
Food waste makes up a quarter of municipal solid waste
in landfills. One way to reduce food waste is to compost
at home. Home composters vary from small indoor units
perfect for apartment living to large outdoor bins that
can handle yard waste in addition to food scraps. Most
composters are designed to prevent problems with odor
and pests and the compost can be used as fertilizer on
landscaping, flowers, and edibles outdoors or inside.

to charity thrift stores is a great way to make sure
your clothes get more use. Even if you think the item
is unwearable – whether it be stains, holes, or simply
an unfortunate and long regretted trend - the major

New Campaign to
Increase Awareness of City Codes
How do we maintain and improve the appearance of
the City? That’s been the focus of a committee made
up of members from the Greater Hollywood Chamber
of Commerce and City staff. The committee’s mission is:
“To unite the community to promote the enhancement
of private properties through education, outreach,
and programs that focus on code compliance and City
beautification in an effort to increase property values and
retain/attract
businesses.”
In July, the group launched a
new public education campaign
developed in partnership with
the City’s Office of Public Affairs
and Marketing. The “Let’s Keep
Hollywood Beautiful” campaign
includes a colorful and friendly
informational brochure that
provides an overview of how to
report code concerns immediately
from your smart phone through
the “Help Me Hollywood” app;
the garbage, recycling and bulk
pick-up schedule; and important
resources available to home and
business owners on property
enhancements. Additionally,
a door hanger was created
to educate property owners
on the most common code
violations with a list for them
to “check” and make sure their
property is up to code. Code
officers will have the materials
at neighborhood and civic
association meetings. The information is also available
for volunteers, including students and neighborhood
associations, to distribute door-to-door, to increase code
compliance.
“It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get busy in order to
stabilize property values and encourage reinvestment” said
Anne Hotte, Executive Director of the Greater Hollywood
Chamber of Commerce. “We believe most citizens would
like to follow current property standard codes, but may
not be fully aware of what they are and with this public
education outreach, we expect to see some substantive,
visible improvements in our fine City.”
Look for the Let’s Keep Hollywood Beautiful pop-up canopy
at various community events and stop by to get information
on City codes and all of the “Keep Hollywood Beautiful”
programs operated by the City including “Adopt-a-Street,”
“Beach Sweep Clean-up,” “Cash for Trash” and “Operation
Paintbrush.” You can also go to the Chamber’s website,
www.hollywoodchamber.org, for information on chamber
businesses ready to help property owners with needed
improvements.
“Achieving code compliance in a positive way is always a
challenge, but education and encouragement is the key
to unlock the door of opportunity for many residents and
business owners” said John Chidsey, Code Compliance
Manager for the City.

Keep Hollywood Beautiful Program, please contact

Code Officers Spearhead
PROPERTY
CLEAN-UP
When Code Compliance Officer Nadine Robinson came
across a home in her enforcement area with overgrown
grass and trees, junk littering the yard and a pool that was
green with algae, she didn’t simply issue a code violation,
she reached out to the home’s owner. Robinson soon learned
the property owner, a former nurse, had become disabled
and didn’t have the ability either physically or financially to
get the property in shape.
“I really didn’t know what I was going to do,” said homeowner
Patricia Rozawick. “I felt so overwhelmed and helpless to do
the work that was needed.”
Robinson and the rest of the team in the Code Compliance
decided to organize a volunteer cleanup with the goal of
getting the property to a point where
it could be maintained by the
homeowner at a reasonable
cost. They contacted
Global Village impact to
get the work started
and then set a date
for a volunteer
cleanup.
“
“
I asked for a
miracle and
all of you
showed up
“You know when
someone
really
needs help, and we
wanted to find a way
to help Patricia,” says
Robinson.
More
than
a dozen
volunteers
from Code and
other City departments
and offices, along
with their friends
and
families,
showed up on a
Saturday morning
with gloves, tools,
equipment and a
can-do attitude.
After a day of work,
the pool and wooden
deck were dismantled,
the back porch cleared of
junk and debris, the yard
cleaned up and mowed
and an entire dumpster
filled to the top. Patricia
sat looking at her “new”
backyard
from
her
wheelchair in amazement,
filled with gratitude.
“I asked for a miracle and all of you
showed up, I can’t believe it, everyone that helped is like an
angel to me,” said Patricia.
Tons of illegally dumped auto parts, construction debris, tires, furniture
andhazardous materials end up on public and private property.
Enforcement and clean-up costs our community millions of dollars
each year.
REPORT
ILLEGAL
DUMPING
You can help: If you see illegal dumping in progress, call the
Police non-emergency number, 954.764.4357 and ask for a police
response.

It’s Your Yard...
Not a Junk Yard
Do your part to keep the City of Hollywood beautiful and
make sure you’re following City codes for commingled
waste. Chapter 50 of the City Code supports keeping the
City clean by providing regulations for your combined bulk
waste and yard waste. If you put your waste in the proper
place, you’ll help make the collection process easier, safer
and cleaner.
What do you need to know?
• If you have an alley, place your pile in the back of your
private property so it is not blocking alley traffic, but is
easily accessible to the collection crew.
• If you do not have an alley, place your commingled
pile on the swale or unpaved portion of the right-ofway adjacent to your property. Only put acceptable
materials out for collection after 12 p.m. the day before
your collection day.
• You can place up to 4 cubic yards of commingled waste
out for collection.
Four cubic yards = four
• For safety, always
keep carts and piles
95 gallon recycling and/
away from cable boxes,
or garbage carts
electrical
lines,
water
meters, utility poles, fences, or
other structures.
• Acceptable Commingled waste materials are 1)
household appliances, such as dishwashers and stoves,
2) household items, such as sofas and mattresses, and 3)
brush, such as tree trimmings, palm fronds, and leaves.
• Put small amounts of brush and palm fronds in your
grey garbage cart and please bag loose leaves and fruits
in a clear heavy duty plastic bag.
The City’s Sanitation Code Officer will be giving out
courtesy notices to help you get in compliance. You could
be issued a citation if you continue not to comply with
Chapter 50.04(A) of the City’s Code of Ordinance.
Testing Permeable Pavement
at City Hall
Next time you come to City Hall, you may notice
some fresh new pavement in the parking lot. A
portion of the City Hall parking lot is a test site
for a new permeable pavement product. This new
pavement is designed to allow stormwater to drain
through the surface into the soil below where it
is naturally filtered and pollutants are removed.
Studies have linked traditional, impervious
surfaces to water quality degradation. Traditional
pavement surfaces promote run-off of automobile
fluids like oil and gasoline
into storm drains which can
pollute our local waterways.
By using this alternative, the
City is making needed repairs
to the parking lot and taking a
positive step towards improving
the quality of our community’s water
resource. A new drainage system was also installed
in a section of the parking lot prone to flooding.
New Service Hours for City Offices
As part of a new one-year pilot
program, the City of Hollywood is
expanding service hours to eleven
hours-a-day, 4 days-a-week. The new
service hours started with the new
fiscal year which began October 1st.
Regular office hours for City Hall and
most other City administrative offices
will be 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday
through Thursday, with offices closed
on Friday. By offering extended
service hours 4 days a week, the City is
seeking to enhance customer service
for those customers who work during
the day. Staff is now on-hand to assist
in the early morning and early evening
hours.
In researching this program, the City
surveyed several other South Florida
municipalities that have implemented
extended service hours. That research
showed many cities see energy
cost savings, reduced maintenance
costs, reduced overtime usage and
improved employee productivity and
morale. Hollywood is the latest to join
a host of other Broward County cities,
such as Pembroke Pines, Lauderdale
Lakes, Miramar and Margate, to offer
an extended service hours schedule.
Departments such as Police and Fire,
as well as functions like Public Utilities
water and wastewater treatment plant
operations, will not be impacted by the
change and will continue to operate
on their already established schedules
providing for 24/7 public safety and
essential municipal services.
For information on the hours of
operation for community centers and
other recreational facilities, please
contact the community centers
directly using the A to Z Resource
Directory on the City’s website,

National Night Out in Hollywood
Neighborhoods across Hollywood held events for National Night Out (NNO) which takes place in cities across the

and crime watch volunteers who help promote public safety in their neighborhoods.
Neighborhood and civic associations hosted gatherings, as well as individuals. City Commission members and members
of the City’s Police Department, along with McGruff the Crime Dog made the rounds. Food, music and fun were had by
