                                      Josh Levy
       Fellow Hollywood Residents,

       This edition of New Horizons is filled with great information about all that’s going on in our city, and I hope you enjoy
       it. Summer is here and thanks to the national, state and local vaccination effort, the COVID-19 pandemic has finally
       waned. As of this writing, our county’s vaccination rate, together with the continuingly lower positivity rate and the
       lower number of cases per 100,000 people in our county, have enabled City Hall to be reopened to the public as of
       June 14, 2021.
       Special events have resumed as well. After more than a year of not gathering, the City’s signature events, such
       as the 4th of July Fireworks Celebration, the Annual Tree Lighting and Candy Cane Parade will be back. Our parks
       have reopened, and special event programming such as movie nights and Funtastic Fridays at the ArtsPark, the
       monthly Artwalk and classic car show downtown, and live music shows 5 nights-a-week at the beach bandshell
       have all resumed. Bookmark the parks & rec calendar on the City website or follow the City on social media to stay
       updated on the latest.
       Throughout the pandemic, the 1,300+ employees of our City government were hard at work on our behalf. From
       pandemic impact assistance to sidewalk and road repairs, finance and budget to public works, public safety
       and public utilities, our city staff has been charged with an ever growing list of projects to execute, and every
       department has risen to the challenge. Updates and details about particular projects and initiatives are provided
       in pages ahead.
       Some recent highlights that are aimed at further improving the quality of life that our City offers include:
         • Stormwater Master Plan and Pump Station Assessments. Severe weather events and heavier rainfall,
           together with sea level rise, have caused more frequent flooding in our City. The Department of Public Utilities
           is proactively taking measures to prioritize the maintenance, repair, improvement and hardening of key
           infrastructure.
         • Transportation Surtax Fund. We applied for funding for two capital improvement projects for Cycle 2 Surtax
           funds, including the design and construction of approximately 50 miles of neighborhood greenway bicycle
           trails throughout various neighborhoods, as identified in the recently completed Bicycle Mobility Plan.
         • General Obligation Projects. The upgrading of our City equipment, facilities and amenities such as parks,
           sports fields, golf courses, cultural facilities, police headquarters, fire/rescue equipment, neighborhood traffic
           calming measures, seawalls to protect against sea level rise, landscaping, and sound walls, is fully underway
           with everything in some level of procurement, planning, engineering, design, and/or construction.
         • We launched a three-dimensional property data and zoning map platform that brings much improved
           simplicity, transparency and efficiency for residents and investors when needing to research any property’s
           zoning and development regulations and potential. Check it out under the Planning & Urban Design page
           under Development Services on the city website.
       There is much more to highlight, such as strengthening our city’s noise ordinance, our engagement of a third party
       system to help monitor and control all the vacation rentals that have popped up in our City, and much more, so
       read on in the pages ahead!
       Thanks for all you do as a resident of our City. Together we will continue to do great things.

       Josh Levy, Mayor

    SUPPORT FOSTER CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
    As a Guardian ad Litem
    The Florida Guardian ad Litem (GAL) Program gives
    a voice to abused, abandoned and neglected
    children on the path to a better life. GAL represents
    maltreated children in Florida’s dependency courts.
    The Program’s volunteers work with attorneys and
    social workers to advocate for the child’s best
    interests. The volunteer’s role is to get to know the
    child, visit and support them throughout the case,
    and provide information and recommendations to
    judges as part of the GAL multidisciplinary team.

    During the last year, the pandemic has affected
    abused and neglected children in unique ways. More

MESSAGE FROM THE
                                        CITY MANAGER
                                        Dr. Wazir Ishmael

          Each June marks the start of the Atlantic hurricane season where we all keep a watchful eye on the tropics
          and storms that look like they have potential to grow into hurricanes. The 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season is
          predicted by NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center to be more active than usual, and the first named storm of the
          season occurred even before the official June 1st start.

          The NOAA outlook calls for 13 to 20 named storms, with three to five major hurricanes. A major hurricane is
          one that is Category 3 or higher (115-plus-mph winds) on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. While
          this forecast is slightly above the 30-year average, experts say there isn’t necessarily a strong correlation
          between the number of storms or hurricanes and the number that make landfall in the U.S. in any given
          season. In reality, it only takes one storm hitting our area to result in an active season for all of us.

          As a City, each year we hold a hurricane preparedness exercise coordinated by the City’s Emergency Manager
          and attended by all personnel with primary responsibility for managing Hollywood’s emergency response
          activities. This exercise is an opportunity to hear from the experts at the National Weather Service-Miami
          directly about what to expect during a given season and for each department to review and share their
          operational response plans.

          Over the past year, we have all learned the value of being prepared for the unexpected. With the COVID-19
          pandemic, we faced a crisis that impacted all facets of our lives, from home to work to school and more. With
          the loss of life and the ongoing health impacts many are still experiencing, our resilience has been tested in
          ways we could not have predicted or imagined. However, we have also learned that when we respond and
          work together, our actions can change the course of events.

          Last year, we saw a record number of hurricanes and tropical storms form - so many that we exhausted all
          of the designated alphabetical storm names and ended up with Greek letters. While we did not experience
          extensive wind impacts from any of the tropical systems that developed, we cannot afford to be complacent.
          You may recall back in 2020, Tropical Storm Eta dumped over 14 inches of rainfall in just 48 hours, causing
          untold misery to many of our residents and businesses who typically see around 3.75 inches of rain during an
          entire month in November. Therefore, this is the time for each of us to make sure we have a hurricane plan in

     Get on Your Bikes and Ride!
     The Hollywood section of the 14th Avenue Mobility
     Improvement Project from Atlantic Shores Boulevard
     in Hallandale Beach to Sheridan Street is now
     complete. The project limits within Hollywood were
     from Moffett Street to Sheridan Street. The $2,099,354
     in improvements included:

       o Widening the roadway to accommodate bicycle
         lanes on 14th Avenue, Arthur Street and Harding
         Street
       o Adding shared lane pavement markings to
         enhance the safe travel of bicycles and motor
         vehicles in the same traffic lane
       o Installing a shared-use path (off-road path) on Polk Street and 14th Avenue

     This project began in December 2019 and was completed several months ahead of schedule.

     An additional improvement along 14th Avenue is a new 5 foot wide sidewalk between Wiley Street to Funston
     Street. This project is funded and construction planning is currently underway. As part of the City’s Bicycle
     Mobility Plan and recent Surtax grant application, City staff is requesting funding to install a 1.2 mile bicycle
     route on 14th Avenue between Polk Street to Sheridan Street. This proposed “Greenway” is currently in the
     conceptual stages and would require public input before final designs and construction. The project will be
     considered at an upcoming City Commission meeting with a target completion date of mid-2023.

     Driftwood Middle Environmental Efforts Featured on Local Newscast
     Since 2008, teacher Linda Gancitano’s “Green Team”
     at Driftwood Middle School has been connecting
     environmental wellness to the school’s Health and
     Wellness Magnet program.
     Her ‘How Low Can You Go Energy Challenge’ is just
     one of the program success stories. The student-
     run energy team, better known as the “DMS Chillers,”
     conducts energy audits to raise awareness of the
     effects of C02 emissions on the environment. The
     challenge also provides an opportunity to understand
     potential financial savings through responsible
     energy consumption.
     In addition to saving energy, the nationally recognized
     and award-winning Green Team also focuses their attention on water conservation, reducing single-use
     plastic, solar power projects and they even have their own vegetable and butterfly gardens and fruit forest.
     Driftwood Middle has also won numerous awards for environmental conservation, including being named a
     Green Flag EcoSchool, the highest recognition from the National Wildlife Federation. See the CBS4 story at
     https://miami.cbslocal.com/2021/04/19/driftwood-middle-school-green-team-environmental-wellness-
