John Ligore, co-compliance manager, told the council the clinic ran from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Davie Police Department and was advertised on social media and the town website. \"A total of 47 residents from Davie attended, 4 Southwest Ranch residents, and 2 outside the boundaries attended the event,\" he said. The 73 animals included dogs, cats, horses and tortoises.

Ligore said the town purchased Buddy ID scanners and assigned 44 scanners to officers across road patrol so officers can read implanted microchips in the field. \"The microchips we purchase are all registered to the police department. When we implanted the pet, Karen updates the owner's information on the chip's website,\" he said, adding that registered microchips can be searched in the national database to expedite reunification, including by Broward Animal Control.

Volunteers and staff said the event reduced shelter entries and helped officers reunite animals with owners without extended shelter housing. The presentation thanked volunteer veterinarian Dr. Bridal Garcia and vet tech Jen Dashton; both were noted as offering to volunteer for a follow-up event at the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds, likely in August or September.

Why it matters: Identifying owners quickly reduces shelter intake and shortens the time animals spend in police care or shelters, officials said. The town plans another microchip clinic and is exploring a larger animal-event format that would combine adoptions and other services.

Ending: Staff asked the council to note the success and said town police and code will coordinate outreach for the next clinic once dates are finalized.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Davie Town Council Meeting July 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Town staff, police and volunteer veterinarians microchipped 73 animals at a March clinic; police said microchips registered to the department will speed reunifications and another clinic is being planned at the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds.","taxTitle","Davie, Broward County, Florida","taxId",4136,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6157395,"Davie council conditionally clears two digital billboards to fund Boys & Girls Club teen centers",2275,2927000,5202000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5465378-d5fd044c3c60c1e2ade01e1aeb4644c5&start=2927&end=5202","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5465378-d5fd044c3c60c1e2ade01e1aeb4644c5/thumbnail_2927000.jpg","/articles/6157395/Davie/Broward-County/Florida/Davie-council-conditionally-clears-two-digital-billboards-to-fund-Boys-Girls-Club-teen-centers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6157395-daa6ef754e4d6a84215da117d5409b5c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200074&Signature=kRNFXsi~waWfMOvbceDquyjCgzuf~0Fmys3dXyUnPdOQ1jJmfdruWAZx-vkqtXTjpsZ8fW~AmbjpmVZvC~e~H0knupd8gxL4NH1efDas-OOHRri0rVcg~OSQZnzKCrTiChnJWM9hHxCVDF~JbTeMBGc-ZPqjDYfY8dZOZXUDOZyYzF1jhWr~9kzm77t8ox0WnKrSH55jKrLp4hEoJZaYX9oFYpbVZZfYYSDWv9HiV-Lbr9vFaH1bDx7I9mj6k6~~R7zvVVir4FT8AF7fc2~7qBUvzPgtTHehnnFX5j-jlqQpkNlfmDW74wnZgXi4hjhGTFG3QdF6u6ae8Zz8upyWcg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Davie council voted to conditionally certify two off-premise digital-sign (billboard) sites along the I‑75 corridor, contingent on a formal agreement that the town will review at a later meeting.

Council members said the conditional approvals aim to secure long-term funding for local Boys & Girls Club teen centers. The presenters said projected billboard revenue would support operations and help sustain the nonprofit’s services for local youth.

At a public hearing on two certification applications, David Quigley, the town’s planning and zoning manager, told the council staff found the applications met technical requirements. \"The staff finds that they meet all of the technical requirements,\" he said, summarizing local and state regulatory expectations and noting the state imposes limits on location, height and illumination for such signs.

Boys & Girls Club representatives described the public-benefit package: they said billboard revenue would underwrite two teen centers the organization is opening in Davie and provide ongoing operational support. The presenters gave revenue estimates and program costs: they projected billboard revenue \"between $450,000 to $700,000 annually, with a 20 year projected revenue of about $12,000,000\" and said the cost to operate two teen centers is about $600,000 annually. Club staff also described member demographics and program outcomes, and noted the club’s ability to display public-service announcements and emergency messaging on the signs.

Church nearby asks for relocation: A representative of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which operates the Fort Lauderdale Temple near one proposed site, asked council members to consider relocating the sign away from the temple because of concerns about lighting and the visual relationship with the sacred site. \"We would like to suggest that it be moved north or south, but not directly adjacent to the temple because we feel it would take away from the beauty of the property,\" Brian Hague said.

Council conditions: To protect the town’s interests and the stated public benefit, Mayor Judy Paul proposed conditions to be included in a formal agreement. She read the conditions into the record: the agreement term shall be limited to 30 years; auditing language must confirm payments to the Boys and Girls Club Advertising Group LLC; if the relationship with Gold Coast Media is severed then funds earmarked for the Boys and Girls Club will be remitted to the Town of Davie; and if the advertising group is sold the town shall be entitled to a one-time payment of $150,000 per billboard. The council also required advertisement-content restrictions described as a prohibition on advertisers of \"moral turpitude,\" to be defined in the agreement.

The council approved certification of each site separately with those conditions and asked the applicant to return with a contract incorporating the terms. Roll calls on both items were unanimous.

Why it matters: The council framed the certifications as a way to create a revenue stream for local youth programs that are otherwise heavily dependent on private donations. Council members said the conditions protect the town if relationships or ownership change while preserving the Boys & Girls Club’s planned funding stream.

Ending: Staff and the applicant will draft the formal agreement and return it to the council for placement on a future agenda; the council did not adopt the final contract at this meeting.","Council certified two off-premise digital-sign sites along I‑75, subject to a future contract that limits terms to 30 years, requires auditing, protects town funds if advertising relationships end, and restricts offensive content; the council cited projected revenue to support two teen centers.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6157398,"Davie to reopen debate on accessory-building size after resident objections",253,151000,404000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5465378-d5fd044c3c60c1e2ade01e1aeb4644c5&start=151&end=404","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5465378-d5fd044c3c60c1e2ade01e1aeb4644c5/thumbnail_151000.jpg","/articles/6157398/Davie/Broward-County/Florida/Davie-to-reopen-debate-on-accessory-building-size-after-resident-objections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6157398-292bd1a312202f4987161627de777851/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200074&Signature=OsmxaFQu68WN6Xez4oUtAK7rFiQ3a1nxRFUhHzmI4ZgOBFVPWV9bwbJxhtm-noo25ka1k6tOTHeAOKO0~yCmELyDqHpR4agqPYd2~2vEtjLcBJxsWyLcKU8GDo2QrSLXFxD80njiOAaEkFiK6Dwd3VYhgQp37Pnjj5-B2TDL-og9fAqgJAHhD0CEM74VmLSFT6LosyJ6UNc2vQ-O3hRNfYCjBSGD1X1kRMHye3y02XWU2gMTk0mnaaOK09~yc4H4Rgab8QuiF8yVQxzkE4HgcKTlsfbbcH2zcQ7WnJOSOomHrqmlsrx1qWa38sr78svcLqwdrEPTMitX0OWaBnhppg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Davie council voted unanimously to ask staff to prepare options and schedule a public workshop to reconsider a recent code change that limits the size of detached accessory buildings, Mayor Judy Paul said during the meeting.

Council members said the move responds to a stream of residents who objected that the ordinance's 600-square-foot limit is too rigid and that the change was buried in a larger package.

The mayor called for the reexamination after receiving residents at the meeting. \"I'd like to ask the council if they would, go along with me to readdress that recent code change for the size of accessory buildings,\" Mayor Judy Paul said. The council made a motion to have the town administrator prepare options and possibly hold a workshop; the motion passed unanimously, and council members said they would aim to hold the workshop in early August.

Why it matters: Residents and local professionals said the ordinance as written could limit common household uses — detached garages, workshops and other enclosed spaces — in ways that do not account for lot size, lot coverage rules or existing residential uses. Several speakers told the council the requirement originated from drainage concerns, but they argued a single-size ceiling does not fit Davie’s wide range of lot sizes.

Several residents and one architect described difficulty understanding the ordinance package as it was posted. \"The way that this is presented is with titles only,\" resident Chris Love told the council, saying he had to file a public-record request to see the full language. Architect Stephen Page told council members that after decades of practice in Davie he was uncertain how the ordinance classifies common building elements: \"...after working, I guess, 45 years now, living in Davie for 25 years, practicing in Davie for 40, I don't have a clue,\" he said, adding that lot coverage rules — not a use-based accessory definition — determine how many and how large structures can be on a lot.

Planning & Zoning context: A member of the Planning & Zoning (P&Z) board told the council the P&Z hearing had approved the ordinance package as a bundled item despite disagreement on the accessory-building size limit. The P&Z speaker said the board recorded that members wanted the 600-square-foot provision removed but voted to approve the whole package because staff had already spent substantial time on the rest of the ordinance language.

Implementation questions and limits: Residents asked whether the adopted ordinance could be suspended immediately to avoid preventing construction currently in the pipeline. Staff and other officials clarified that the ordinance already is legally effective. \"It's on the books. It was passed. It's a valid ordinance. It's on our website,\" a staff member said, explaining that the town uploads codified ordinances to the municipal code database on a quarterly schedule but that the lack of immediate posting does not mean the ordinance is not in force. Staff further told the public that building permits already issued remain valid for 180 days and that any amendment would need to go back to P&Z and receive two council hearings, a process that could take several months.

Next steps: The council asked the town administrator to prepare options for reconsideration and to set a workshop that would allow residents to testify and propose alternatives. The council and staff agreed to try to schedule that workshop in early August and to notify citizens who spoke at the meeting individually in addition to public notice.

Ending: Council members emphasized they want the workshop to be an open forum for residents to present examples, lot sizes and proposed uses so staff can craft options that address drainage concerns while allowing scalable solutions for different lot sizes.","Town council voted unanimously to ask staff to prepare options and hold a public workshop to reconsider a recently adopted ordinance that limits detached accessory buildings to 600 square feet, after residents and a Planning & Zoning chair said the rule was bundled into a larger package and produced confusion about coverage and uses.","actionData","errors"]
