Volume XVI Number 3220 xXx xx x ((954) 532-2000xxxxxX X X X29 July 2010  Still trying to polish the Pompano turd: City to pump $75,000.00 into PR for new logo The city is hiring Wilesmith Advertising & Design of West Palm Beach to figure out how to attract investors to Pompano Beach by creating a logo for the city. Their hope is that more hype about Pompano Beach will induce investors to build a hotel here. City Hall regulars dismissed the move as more corrupt nonsense at the hands of a left wing City Commission attempting to distract voters from a cascade of failures across town. "A logo for Pompano?" said one Commission regular. "How about a dead fish or a pile of crap with flies circling around." Critics were quick to point out that Pompano Beach already has an international reputation as a viciously corrupt community that spent millions trying to destroy hotel developers Jim and Tom Stephanis because Commissioner Herb Skolnick and later Beach Commissioner Nate Braverman could not dictate their own terms to the former owners of the Yardarm Restaurant. After spending millions blocking the hotel project at Hillsboro Inlet the developers declared bankruptcy and the city later bought the property. It remains empty to this day. Investors have expressed interest in developing restaurants and even hotels at the site but quickly backed away when they researched the history of the property. "Pompano Beach is well known from New York to Dubai as a place to avoid," said one hotel developer who asked not to be named. Pompano politicians have spent many thousands of tax payer dollars buying "honors" like 'All American' City awards in a vain attempt to change the city's reputation as a foolish place to invest. Now city commissioners claim they want Pompano Beach to have a brand that will set it apart and help the city promote tourism and economic development.  The commission, acting as the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency, gave the firm the go-ahead Tuesday to begin its work. A $75,000 contract will be presented to the CRA in September. “I don’t think you’re going to have an easy job here. We don’t have just one thing,” Commissioner Charlotte Burrie told company President Margaret Wilesmith. Beach property owner Gerard Reitano saw a different problem: "What’s the point?" Reitano told reporters, “I don’t know what the logo’s going to do and how that’s going to attract a hotel here,” Reitano said. “I hope it’s better than the image. We’ve got no image. No one wants to come here.” That’s the purpose behind branding, Wilesmith said — to give the city an image and to define what it is about the city that should be promoted. She did not explain how she will promote Pompano's public beach with its foul smelling sand along Briny Avenue, filthy bathrooms, sidewalks and an abandoned fishing pier that has driven most local beach goers to use the public beach in Deerfield rather than risking exposure to Pompano's often sewage tainted surf. “A brand is not a logo. A brand is your DNA,” Wilesmith said. “It may be a feel. It may be an attitude. A logo is just your visual representation of it.” Wilesmith has done branding projects for a range of groups, including the American Orchid Society and the city of Tavares. Tavares also had many different possibilities, but finally settled on the brand “America’s Seaplane City,” which could then be used as the focal point for promoting the city, she said.
