Thank you. We do have a quorum, schoolboard men's members. Seaman is on his way,

but we are getting started. I'm sure he Thank you. Said this morning item one on your

64
00:15:31,877 --> 00:15:38,830
agenda is a local planning agency review. And as you know, as the local planning

65
00:15:38,830 --> 00:15:43,354
agency to the Broward County Board of Commissioners, there are some could ordinance

66
00:15:43,354 --> 00:15:46,825
changes that we cry or you're finding of consistency with the Broward County Land use

67
00:15:46,825 --> 00:15:50,962
plan and this proposed revision is one of those. I'm just going to give you a very

68
00:15:50,962 --> 00:15:56,568
quick high-level summary of this. And this is really related to the collection of

69
00:15:56,568 --> 00:16:04,309
concurrency in impact fees. And as that has not been happening since 2024 and the

70
00:16:04,309 --> 00:16:11,450
county staff has prepared that was to comply with Florida statutes because this studies

71
00:16:11,450 --> 00:16:15,787
have been done within the last 4 years like any new the fee would have to have 100% of the

72
00:16:15,787 --> 00:16:21,593
commission or council 2 to vote on it. I school board member Seaman is walking in as

73
00:16:21,593 --> 00:16:29,393
we speak. >> So this is in compliance with the county plan and with

74
00:16:29,534 --> 00:16:34,139
the adoption of Broward Max were actually striking through these policies because if

75
00:16:34,139 --> 00:16:38,410
there's no collection right now, currently of impact fees are concurrently fees. There's

76
00:16:38,410 --> 00:16:41,880
no reason to have those policies. And the Broward County Lee's plan.

77
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,170
>> So these revision should be sound should be found in compliance with Broward County

78
00:16:45,170 --> 00:16:50,422
Land use Plan and Barbie doll south from the county staff is here. If you have any specific

79
00:16:50,422 --> 00:16:58,222
questions about the code changes. Excellent questions about the changes. Do we need

80
00:17:02,634 --> 00:17:06,905
a motion? a motion. Just so of finding generally consistent and that will be forwarded to

81
00:17:06,905 --> 00:17:13,311
the full Council at your 10 o'clock meeting second >> okay. We have a motion a

82
00:17:13,311 --> 00:17:18,183

84
00:17:23,188 --> 00:17:32,188
with Mayor Brunson made the motion and Mayor Gomez second. Okay. Thank you. Items 2, 3, I

85
00:17:32,798 --> 00:17:40,271
will defer to the chair. All right. Well, this is my favorite time of year and, you

86
00:17:40,271 --> 00:17:45,344
know, it's getting easier for me to write these because I take of last year's change.

87
00:17:45,344 --> 00:17:47,546
The date and basically say the exact same thing may be a little different water. But if

88
00:17:47,546 --> 00:17:53,485
you put it next to each other, if you put next to each other, they look similar. So like I

89
00:17:53,485 --> 00:17:59,625
didn't like it I'm not going to read entire entire memo. But we're going to start with

90
00:17:59,625 --> 00:18:08,250
Andy the council's attorney and my my evaluation, obviously we all feel the same

91
00:18:08,967 --> 00:18:11,360
way. I'm going to give everybody a chance to chime in on that. So I'm not going to

92
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:14,706
take too much time, but I'm going to read kind of the first paragraph of that. I'm

93
00:18:14,706 --> 00:18:17,242
going to read the last paragraph kind of skipped the performance in key

94
00:18:17,242 --> 00:18:23,782
contributions. I know you've all read this, but I will just kind of jump right in. So

95
00:18:23,782 --> 00:18:26,919
pursuant a letter of understanding dated August 31st. 1995 and reaffirm 2

96
00:18:26,919 --> 00:18:32,794
subsequent planning Council action. The Broward County Planning Council conduct an

97

101
00:18:49,811 --> 00:18:53,748
integrity in his role as Planning Council attorney with more than 30 years of service

102
00:18:53,748 --> 00:18:57,752
to the council, he brings a deep understanding of the legal framework covering the

103
00:18:57,752 --> 00:19:02,757
council's work and of the Broward County Land use Plan. His guidance helps ensure that

104
00:19:02,757 --> 00:19:09,230
the council's deliberations and decisions rest on sound legal footing and this conduct

105
00:19:09,230 --> 00:19:13,502
consistently reflects the highest standards. Of the profession throughout the

106
00:19:13,502 --> 00:19:18,840

107
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,378

111
00:19:39,127 --> 00:19:45,800
particularly matters are time sensitive. Or highly visible. His extensive background, the

112
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,671
state and local governments combined with his institutional knowledge of the

113
00:19:49,671 --> 00:19:53,675
Planning Council remains significant as it Mr. Rose also maintains a productive

114
00:19:53,675 --> 00:19:57,878
working relationship with the Broward County Attorney's Office supporting effective

115
00:19:57,878 --> 00:20:02,950

the efficiency effectiveness and credibility of the council's work. Listen, the

117
00:20:08,222 --> 00:20:13,961
performance contributions he's done there and then the conclusion Mr. A performance

118
00:20:13,961 --> 00:20:18,299
during the past year continues to warrant the highest level of recognition. He has

119
00:20:18,299 --> 00:20:22,370
provided steady, ineffective legal counsel in significant policy and regulatory matters

120
00:20:22,370 --> 00:20:26,374

121
00:20:26,374 --> 00:20:32,180
in sound legal analysis and professional integrity, although Mr. Rhodes meets the

122
00:20:32,180 --> 00:20:38,386
requirements for merit based compensation increase. He is again, declined an adjustment.

123
00:20:38,386 --> 00:20:41,456
His decision flexes longstanding commitment to the Planning Council and more than

124
00:20:41,456 --> 00:20:48,195
3 decades of dedicated service in light of his can 10, you'd exemplary service. I recommend

125
00:20:48,195 --> 00:20:52,934

126
00:20:52,934 --> 00:20:56,470

00:24:52,576 --> 00:24:56,979
council staff to remain attentive to the needs of council members, municipal

171
00:24:56,979 --> 00:25:02,318
Partners, County staff applicants and the members of the public. Next Burgos, the

172
00:25:02,318 --> 00:25:04,787
performance in key contributions, which I'm sure you've all read. But for the

173
00:25:04,787 --> 00:25:10,393
record, I'm going to read in the conclusion. Sports performance in the past year

174
00:25:10,393 --> 00:25:14,597
continues to warrant the highest level of recognition. She has provided steady and

175
00:25:14,597 --> 00:25:18,668
effective leadership on significant policy initiatives maintained a disciplined and

176
00:25:18,668 --> 00:25:22,272
efficient operation and ensure that the Planning Council remains responsive to the

177
00:25:22,272 --> 00:25:27,276
needs of its members. Local governments, county staff and the public, although Miss Boy

178
00:25:27,276 --> 00:25:31,347
meets the criteria for merit base increase, she has not requested a salary increase.

179
00:25:31,347 --> 00:25:34,884
Miss Baugh remains eligible for any future. Performance-based increases

180
00:25:34,884 --> 00:25:40,222
authorized by the county Commission in light of her continued exemplary service. I

181
00:25:40,222 --> 00:25:45,161
recommend that this evaluation be entered into the official record. Her professionalism,

182
00:25:45,161 --> 00:25:48,300
integrity and effectiveness continue to serve the Broward County Planning Council. Well.

183
00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:54,630
This Playboy. Further discussion. we have a motion from America's steals

184
00:25:58,410 --> 00:26:04,781
second for Mayor Brunson. All those in favor. Please signify by saying Aye. Aye. Any

185
00:26:04,781 --> 00:26:09,520
opposed motion passes unanimously. Miss Blake boy, you have the floor.

186
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:18,520
>> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Obviously, I like it here. 26 But like we

187
00:26:18,461 --> 00:26:26,690
can do what what we do without our staff are great. We have a small but mighty staff. You

188
00:26:26,690 --> 00:26:28,400
>> We work hard and we make sure that the agenda materials, you know, are out

189
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,541
to you guys. But you always have the information that you need. And if there's ever

190
00:26:31,541 --> 00:26:36,346
anything that we're lacking, just let us I we will do better. So I appreciate

191
00:26:36,346 --> 00:26:42,170
everyone here. So thank you. >> Excellent. Thank you. And thank you for recognizing your

192
00:26:42,170 --> 00:26:50,826
staff. They do a phenomenal job they definitely make us all look good. So thank you.

193
00:26:50,826 --> 00:26:59,350
>> Item 4 is so 2023, we did a review of the rules of procedure and we read option.

194
00:26:59,350 --> 00:27:03,573
Andy and I went through checking out rules, made sure we have modernized community

195
00:27:03,573 --> 00:27:10,173
media, communication, media technology section in compliance with I think the

196
00:27:12,581 --> 00:27:15,384
county's rules. So what I'd like to couple years of past, I'd like to do another review.

197
00:27:15,384 --> 00:27:20,590
I don't think we're going to need a holistic, but I've had, you know, members mentioned a

198
00:27:20,590 --> 00:27:25,862
couple of items from the rules for me. So Andy and I would like to take a look back

199
00:27:25,862 --> 00:27:29,132
through and if anyone has anything specific, they'd like to us to take a look we'd be

200
00:27:29,132 --> 00:27:37,340
happy to do that. Mr. Chan >> Thank Thank you. Miss Playboy. I think you and I've

201
00:27:37,340 --> 00:27:40,342
had a conversation previously. And one of the things I'd like to see us address. I'm not

202
00:27:40,342 --> 00:27:48,170
quite sure how address it is attendance we've got a lot of members. We have a core group

203
00:27:48,170 --> 00:27:54,824
of continually make an effort to show up and I don't know how Mr. Otis is advice. You

204
00:27:54,824 --> 00:27:59,428
can hold some of the other appointees accountable. But, you know, I know Mayor Brunson

205
00:27:59,428 --> 00:28:04,967
and I serve on a couple you know, county and state committees and we make every

206
00:28:04,967 --> 00:28:10,390
effort to be here. But, you know, I feel badly if I'm going to be out of town and

207
00:28:10,390 --> 00:28:11,974
you may be in danger of not having a quorum and it shouldn't be that way when we

208
00:28:11,974 --> 00:28:21,250
have so many seats available, appear so I'd like to see us address the attendance policy.

209
00:28:21,250 --> 00:28:23,853
>> Yeah, absolutely. I am me and I'll take a look at the commission's rules. Make sure

210
00:28:23,853 --> 00:28:28,858
that we're reflecting the board agencies and see if there's there's anything that

211
00:28:28,858 --> 00:28:33,863
weakens. >> What what is the polls? You know what? What is in?

212
00:28:33,863 --> 00:28:36,466
>> I haven't have it open to this page because know. But I want you to read for the

213
00:28:36,466 --> 00:28:42,405
record. I don't actually we've talked about Page under the the what's so really, I think

214
00:28:42,405 --> 00:28:51,481
a lot of this comes on to excuse absence, peace, too. And it's it's pretty liberal

215
00:28:51,481 --> 00:28:54,884
and I mean, just I don't want to get too much into it, but I think there might be a way for

216
00:28:54,884 --> 00:28:58,555
members going to be absent. The reason why they're absent to make sure it complies with

217
00:28:58,555 --> 00:29:01,358
one of the things there's like 10 or 12 different ways, you know, to be absent for

218
00:29:01,358 --> 00:29:05,495
meeting. >> So perhaps just, you know, when you're sending excuse

219
00:29:05,495 --> 00:29:11,568
absence of maybe it could be as simple as that because there's a as long as you have

220
00:29:11,568 --> 00:29:17,374
an excused, an unexcused absence. It doesn't count against you.

221
00:29:17,374 --> 00:29:19,642
>> Well, maybe one of the things that the council is talking about maybe only have

222
00:29:19,642 --> 00:29:24,514
so many excused absences for they become not excuse that right. And then they start

223
00:29:24,514 --> 00:29:27,984
getting into the other category. Right? So I think, you know, that's what probably

224
00:29:27,984 --> 00:29:32,988
look at limiting how many of those we have your cause. I we have some very strong minded

225
00:29:32,988 --> 00:29:38,528
folks here that we would love to have at the meeting in a regular basis. So yeah.

226
00:29:38,528 --> 00:29:43,867
>> So certainly so many India, I think want to say something. >> And what will look at it.

227
00:29:43,867 --> 00:29:48,138
There's also interfaith with certain county regulations. The county has certain adopted

228
00:29:48,138 --> 00:29:53,142
rules that that arguably a ploy to us. So which we have you know, if you're through,

229
00:29:53,142 --> 00:30:00,160
but we recognize the in doing type of things, you will still have to guard for the

230
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,153
unintended consequences of particular rule in how it plays out certain

231
00:30:04,153 --> 00:30:07,900
circumstance. But we'll look at it carefully. Excellent. Appreciate thank u N. Any

232
00:30:07,900 --> 00:30:14,764
other comments. >> And I don't have the rules in front of me. And I don't

233
00:30:14,764 --> 00:30:16,833
know if this is what scope of those rules, but to the extent that there's anything that

234
00:30:16,833 --> 00:30:22,705
could be done for the sake of efficiency and allowing you all to process applications.

235
00:30:22,705 --> 00:30:26,376
And a matter that moves things along for the municipalities of the applicants. I would say

236
00:30:26,376 --> 00:30:31,180
that again, if that's within those rules that you think, you know, certain they

237
00:30:31,180 --> 00:30:35,785
threshold or application, you know, thresholds could be shortened or made more

238
00:30:35,785 --> 00:30:38,787
efficient any which way I would just support that endeavor. Absolutely,

239
00:30:38,787 --> 00:30:45,987
Anderson, thank you, Mayor. Further discussion. >> That's in this. I do just

240
00:30:48,684 --> 00:30:52,620
have one non agenda item. If it's okay, it's in your correspondence. It's the

241
00:30:52,620 --> 00:31:00,629
response that we got from the state of Florida Commerce as part of the transmittal of

242
00:31:00,629 --> 00:31:06,301
Broward next. So during the state's review and light of Senate Bill, 180, they did

243
00:31:06,301 --> 00:31:12,907
find the Burt County Land use plan, amendments, null and void and I'm smiling because

244
00:31:12,907 --> 00:31:17,179
I'm smiling because when we finally 3 weeks later, we're able to have a meeting with

245
00:31:17,179 --> 00:31:21,450
the staff because they don't list a rationale. They only listed policies that they

246
00:31:21,450 --> 00:31:26,587
thought were more restrictive or burdensome. So when we actually got on the phone had

247
00:31:26,587 --> 00:31:35,864
a meeting with them, it was 2 things that were very easily resolved and on I mean.

248
00:31:35,864 --> 00:31:39,334
Basically, but not but it. That's what that's basically what it felt You know, when we

249
00:31:39,334 --> 00:31:45,474
finally have the meeting with them. So we had an agreement with them on the phone that

250
00:31:45,474 --> 00:31:50,746
well, if we do these 2 things, which was just leave these 2 things in the plan. And

251
00:31:50,746 --> 00:31:56,884
they're like, well, that could address it. So so I sent them an email. We correspondent

252
00:31:56,884 --> 00:32:00,822
with them and what we take to the county commission will reflect those 2 pieces. So

253
00:32:00,822 --> 00:32:07,762
it's really issue, not an issue from staff's perspective and from from our legal

254
00:32:07,762 --> 00:32:11,633
counsel on from the from the county attorney's office. I was that straightforward well.

255
00:32:11,633 --> 00:32:18,833
So I just wanted to put back up and >> I absolutely appreciate

256
00:32:19,908 --> 00:32:22,778
staff's approach. Our approach from this dies where we because if we would have tried

257
00:32:22,778 --> 00:32:29,250
any of those incentive-based that would have been thrown back at are so many the

258
00:32:29,250 --> 00:32:31,386
resilience when we get in when we get into the details of if you want to know the details

259
00:32:31,386 --> 00:32:34,322
specifically about this, you can talk to. It really is silly. So we the approach we

260
00:32:34,322 --> 00:32:39,460
took was spot on. So I appreciate your guidance on that and staff guns on that

261
00:32:39,460 --> 00:32:44,860
good work. >> could borrow garceau Opportunity to discuss. Let's

262
00:32:49,271 --> 00:32:55,100
just call the rejection with the internal Department of What is the process that so if

263
00:32:55,100 --> 00:33:01,150
there is conversation between either a municipality or the, you know, Planning Council

264
00:33:01,150 --> 00:33:04,820
regards to something that gets It sounds like they give you an opportunity to coach you on

265
00:33:04,820 --> 00:33:11,693
and the one I want. If you're able to get it from them. So what would be okay and then

266
00:33:11,693 --> 00:33:15,290
the the ultimate, you know, City Commission or governmental authority could.

267
00:33:15,290 --> 00:33:21,436
The side to pass it under the guidance of what you know, they understood would be, you

268
00:33:21,436 --> 00:33:27,436
know, not allowed. And so the process can continue basically.

269
00:33:27,776 --> 00:33:31,245
>> Yes, so that's how staff and legal counsel is interpreting the Internet to

270
00:33:31,245 --> 00:33:35,250
the reapply for the light. When has there was there was a comment from Florida comments

271
00:33:35,250 --> 00:33:39,454
to commerce to Well, you may need to be. I don't even remember, we're with the word

272
00:33:39,454 --> 00:33:41,923
that they used was re re hearing. And I was like, what are what are we to? It was

273
00:33:41,923 --> 00:33:51,660
something I I said, you know, but the chapter one really allows for you to make changes

274
00:33:51,660 --> 00:33:55,937
from transmittal to adoption as long as they are. No. Did you know in your when we send

275
00:33:55,937 --> 00:34:01,743
the correspondents to them and these these 2 pieces are so straightforward, one of them

276
00:34:01,743 --> 00:34:08,483
was about the definition for affordable housing and the bonus density incentive about

277
00:34:08,483 --> 00:34:11,753
keeping in that. If you make up 240% of this while you're living mayor, that you're

278
00:34:11,753 --> 00:34:17,359
don't get removed from the housing. But it's part of the definition anyway. So it was

279
00:34:17,359 --> 00:34:21,897
just an and actually like a cleanup piece that we've so we can we've had and it's no

280
00:34:21,897 --> 00:34:27,903
problem. And then the other piece that they found in this case Actually opening up

281
00:34:27,903 --> 00:34:33,508
redevelopment. Right now. It's just in the recall, still high hazard area. But opening up

282
00:34:33,508 --> 00:34:38,446
that up county wide and under the redevelopment, the coastal high hazard area. There's part

283
00:34:38,446 --> 00:34:42,117
of the definition as if you decrease units by this patch, you can increase floor area by

284
00:34:42,117 --> 00:34:50,458
this much. And just talking here, they didn't. They thought that was about non

285
00:34:50,458 --> 00:34:55,530
residential development. It wasn't even in the same category as residential. So

286
00:34:55,530 --> 00:35:00,936
eyes. It was a total incentive-based. It was full. And I said, well, I said.

287
00:35:00,936 --> 00:35:04,405
Week, they said, well, we think it's more restrictive or burn some. And I said, well,

288
00:35:04,405 --> 00:35:08,676
then I think that we would propose leaving that in for this time. They're like you

289
00:35:08,676 --> 00:35:16,351
could do it after Senate Bill. 180, expires I'm like I got I got it right. So really it's

290
00:35:16,351 --> 00:35:21,220
just the interaction and how your legal counsel, I felt very confident and meeting

291
00:35:21,220 --> 00:35:24,492
with them that are legal counsel was going to be in agreement that these were not,

292
00:35:24,492 --> 00:35:32,166
you know, big changes. I think if you're in a situation where their wares, of the the

293
00:35:32,166 --> 00:35:36,104
findings we have seen have been more extensive and the local government has wanted to

294
00:35:36,104 --> 00:35:41,576
go back through the public hearing process instead of proceeding to adoption. But

295
00:35:41,576 --> 00:35:47,315
based on this piece, >> I think we all had we do not. I think we all have do

296
00:35:47,315 --> 00:35:52,720
all have a comfort level that it is completely within the guidelines about process.

Great. We are at 9.15, a K a concludes my Non-agenda. Thank.

between doctors before you conclude it, if I could ask just to have a couple minutes,

300

345
00:46:26,253 --> 00:46:29,123
Planning Council monthly meeting Webcast live from the Broward County Government

346
00:46:29,123 --> 00:46:36,323
Center located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Florida. >> The fundamental role of the

347
00:46:36,397 --> 00:46:39,266
council is to promote coordinated, comprehensive, long-range planning throughout

348
00:46:39,266 --> 00:46:42,870
Broward County, through the joint cooperation and participation of local

349
00:46:42,870 --> 00:46:47,742
governments, public officials and private citizens. And now the monthly meeting of the

350
00:46:47,742 --> 00:46:50,142
Broward County Planning Council. ?

351
00:46:54,949 --> 00:46:56,949
? ? ?

352
00:47:09,831 --> 00:47:11,831
? ?

353
00:55:16,928 --> 00:55:19,931
>> So keep in mind that the amount of money that was being collected from these these

354
00:55:19,931 --> 00:55:26,404
transit fees, again, separate from the 2 North West District in Southwest District was a

355
00:55:26,404 --> 00:55:29,840
relatively small amount compared to the overall budget. And so one of the

356
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,954
things we did when we looked at this to try to understand what the fiscal impact would

357
00:55:32,954 --> 00:55:36,492
be as we had a conversation with them at the prima folks because they have a lot of

358
00:55:36,492 --> 00:55:41,897
this type of planning already built into their system. So the anticipation is through

359
00:55:41,897 --> 00:55:47,168
these other funding sources, we would still be able to pursue those types of

360
00:55:47,168 --> 00:55:53,508
amenities. So so we in cities when we need Bush shelters won't be told.

361
00:55:53,508 --> 00:55:55,911
>> There isn't money for the Bush shelters because of because of the impact fees.

362
00:55:55,911 --> 00:56:02,184
One way we won't be told that. >> With a again, it would be I can't tell you the very nature

363
00:56:02,184 --> 00:56:08,457
of what transit might say, too, will come part of that capital improvement planning

364
00:56:08,457 --> 00:56:12,461
program. So if it's identified that this is what you want to do and you work this out,

365
00:56:12,461 --> 00:56:16,598
transit and they've come up the cost share agreement have, however, that may be, then

366
00:56:16,598 --> 00:56:24,940
that would get programmed into the CIA in the Cip. Thank you. My pleasure.

367
00:56:24,940 --> 00:56:26,942
>> I don't know if you this question. But along those lines for those cities who've

368
00:56:26,942 --> 00:56:35,216
been waiting for their bus shelters for. Numerous of them, are we going to be now

369
00:56:35,216 --> 00:56:40,222
told that we're not getting them? >> Well, again, I have to go

370
00:56:40,222 --> 00:56:44,760
back and have that conversation with transit. But my understanding is the way

371
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:46,762
that they operate as they enter into the agreement with the city. And then it just

372
00:56:46,762 --> 00:56:51,330
becomes part of the capital improvement planning program. So, you know, I don't know

373
00:56:51,330 --> 00:56:56,238
where transit stands or the capital Improvement program stands with any one of cities

374
00:56:56,238 --> 00:57:04,380
that are represented here today. But I understand that that's how they generally

375
00:57:05,647 --> 00:57:07,649
>> just quickly on that, because I just had a conversation role Thank you

376
00:57:07,649 --> 00:57:13,121
about this yesterday. And I'm being told that those bus shelters that that's the

377
00:57:13,121 --> 00:57:19,610
county is constructing can be up to $100,000. They can be pricey, right? So defense

378
00:57:19,610 --> 00:57:23,665
we've been same thing so I think America's steals point is where is the money going?

379
00:57:23,665 --> 00:57:30,472
Come from is an apt one. >> Dr Zaman. Thank you, chair. How much have we collected

380
00:57:30,472 --> 00:57:38,872
historically from these impact fees? Over an average last 10 doing? We were doing some

381
00:57:39,481 --> 00:57:43,952
around the 3 to 4 million dollar range on the transit impact fee and that was

382
00:57:43,952 --> 00:57:50,159
annually through thick that fund 30 or 40 shelters. I get it. It's you know, in the

383
00:57:50,159 --> 00:57:52,227
scope of Park County, in the amount of money, but it's not overwhelming amount of money.

384
00:57:52,227 --> 00:57:57,365
I want to. ComEd America's do, though, for being very clear on this 3 to 4 million dollars

385
00:57:57,365 --> 00:58:01,836
a year for transportation means we're going to have not that money to spend on this.

386
00:58:01,836 --> 00:58:06,508
The idea that city's capital improvement program make up this I think is specious. You

387
00:58:06,508 --> 00:58:08,777
know, we all have obligations and our capital improvement program, whether it's a school

388
00:58:08,777 --> 00:58:15,918
board or city for other And these funds were helping us. And we have generations

389
00:58:15,918 --> 00:58:20,322
actually for a century, incentivize people to drive cars, which are incredibly

390
00:58:20,322 --> 00:58:24,926
inefficient ways to move people around. And we have not ever found enough money to

391
00:58:24,926 --> 00:58:29,597
incentivize people to do mass transit our county. And you know, until we get autonomous

392
00:58:29,597 --> 00:58:34,736
cars, which I hope it's sooner than later, you know, we're going to continue to do with

393
00:58:34,736 --> 00:58:37,339
these traffic issues with 3 or 4 million dollars goes away, I think is appropriate for the

394
00:58:37,339 --> 00:58:39,741
mayor to point out that that's not money that's made up anywhere else. So thank you.

395
00:58:39,741 --> 00:58:45,741
Thank you. To action. Further discussion. >> Display boards to reiterate

396
00:58:47,549 --> 00:58:54,890
this is this keep line with the the state. Ryan and we have no chairman of the

397
00:58:54,890 --> 00:58:56,424
fortunately, but it's good to bring for many. It's very it's very good to bring this all up

398
00:58:56,424 --> 00:59:01,563
for the record. I appreciate mayor leaving. >> I just want to offer that

399
00:59:01,563 --> 00:59:06,902
cities impose impact fees often for the same. You know, goal. Those are limited by

400
00:59:06,902 --> 00:59:10,172
state law as well. So sometimes it would have been a situation where they were

401
00:59:10,172 --> 00:59:14,643
duplicate that impact group. Look at nonetheless, we comply with state law on. We shall

402
00:59:14,643 --> 00:59:21,843
continue the mission. Any further discussion. Entertain a motion. Motion. The Mayor

403
00:59:23,785 --> 00:59:30,525
Gomez second for Mayor Levy. All those in favor, please signify by saying Aye. Any

404
00:59:30,525 --> 00:59:38,325
opposed. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you very much. I'm going to start this

405
00:59:39,734 --> 00:59:45,730
item. This is my Adam it's actually really easy for me to do this now because I take

406
00:59:45,730 --> 00:59:51,546
last year's letter and years before letter. And I kind of say, OK, how could put these

407
00:59:51,546 --> 00:59:55,216
all together and make it sound? It's changed the date on the top and because

408
00:59:55,216 --> 01:00:00,956
everything in the body of it stays the same. This the privilege of doing evaluation

409
01:00:00,956 --> 01:00:06,940
for our county attorney and our executive director and it really is a privilege. And the

410
01:00:06,940 --> 01:00:09,764
thing is I try to get it down to a page and a half as opposed to 5 or 6 because we

411
01:00:09,764 --> 01:00:14,569
can go on with this upper I know you've all had a chance to read this, but what I'm

412
01:00:14,569 --> 01:00:17,839
going to do for the record, I was going to re why we do it in the first paragraph that

413
01:00:17,839 --> 01:00:21,910
I'm going to read the conclusion that that's OK with you all. So we're going to

414
01:00:21,910 --> 01:00:26,982
start item are, too, is the value annual evaluation for Planning Council attorney

415
01:00:26,982 --> 01:00:31,987
pursuant to a letter of understanding dated August 31st. 1995 and reaffirm

416
01:00:31,987 --> 01:00:37,191
through subsequent planning Council election. The Broward County Planning Council

417
01:00:37,191 --> 01:00:42,197
conduct an annual review of its legal counsel as chair of the Broward County Planning

418
01:00:42,197 --> 01:00:46,134
Council. I prepared this memorandum to summarize Mister Andrew Morrow. Does his

419
01:00:46,134 --> 01:00:50,405
performance over the past year and to evaluate his continued service as Planning Council

420
01:00:50,405 --> 01:00:54,810
attorney. So now we're going to skip ahead to the conclusion, which is on the

421
01:00:54,810 --> 01:01:00,615
second page. Mr. Rose's performance during the past year continues to warrant the

422
01:01:00,615 --> 01:01:06,287
highest level of recognition. He has provided steady and effective legal counsel on

423
01:01:06,287 --> 01:01:11,960
significant policy and regulatory matters supported the council through complex

424
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,163
proceedings and ensured that its work remains grounded in sound legal analysis and

425
01:01:15,163 --> 01:01:20,563
professional integrity. Although Mister Rose requirements for murder based

426
01:01:22,370 --> 01:01:25,841
compensation increase, his again declined an adjustment. His decision, reflections,

427
01:01:25,841 --> 01:01:30,512
longstanding commitment to the Planning Council and more than 3 decades of dedicated

428
01:01:30,512 --> 01:01:37,119
service. In light of his continued exemplary service. I recommend that this evaluation

429
01:01:37,119 --> 01:01:43,670
be entered into the official record and that the Planning Council reaffirmed its

430
01:01:43,670 --> 01:01:48,467
confidence Mr. Road has continued services planning Council attorney.

431
01:01:48,739 --> 01:01:51,808
Professionalism, integrity and effectiveness, continue to serve the Broward County

432
01:01:51,808 --> 01:01:59,800
Planning Council. Well, Mr. Rose, thank you. I'll entertain a motion. We

433
01:02:01,218 --> 01:02:04,555
have a motion and the second, but we are going to have a little discussion before I

434
01:02:04,555 --> 01:02:10,227
take a vote on that. So would like to say anything about And Americans do what an absolute

435
01:02:10,227 --> 01:02:14,164

01:04:53,570 --> 01:04:55,259

464
01:04:55,259 --> 01:05:01,532
why we do it. And then I'm going read the conclusion. Pursuant to the letter of

465
01:05:01,532 --> 01:05:04,535
Understanding dated 5/24/2012, the Broward County Planning Council conduct an annual

466
01:05:04,535 --> 01:05:10,207
review of the executive director. As chair the Broward County Planning Council. I

467
01:05:10,207 --> 01:05:15,145
prepared this memorandum to summarize Miss Barbara Blake boys performance over the past

468
01:05:15,145 --> 01:05:19,283
year and to evaluate your continued service as executive director. Skip ahead to

469
01:05:19,283 --> 01:05:25,155
conclusion recommendation. This boy's performance during the past year continues to

470
01:05:25,155 --> 01:05:29,960
warrant the highest level of recognition. She has provided steady and effective

471
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,496
leadership on significant policy issues maintained a disciplined and efficient

472
01:05:32,496 --> 01:05:38,635
operation and ensured the Planning Council remains responsive to the needs of its

473
01:05:38,635 --> 01:05:45,242
members. Local governments, county staff and the public. Although MS Blake boy

474
01:05:45,242 --> 01:05:49,646
continues to meet the criteria for a merit based increase. She has not requested a salary

475
01:05:49,646 --> 01:05:53,917
increase. This boy does remain eligible for any future. Performance-based increases

476
01:05:53,917 --> 01:06:00,791
authorized by the county Commission. And later for continued exemplary service. I

477
01:06:00,791 --> 01:06:06,129
recommended this evaluation be entered into the official record. Her professionalism,

478
01:06:06,129 --> 01:06:11,535
integrity and effectiveness continue to serve the Broward County Planning Council. Thank

479
01:06:11,535 --> 01:06:21,535
you, Miss Blake boy for all that you do and thank you for having a great staff too.

480
01:06:22,346 --> 01:06:31,946
We have a motion for Americans to second for Mayor Brunson. open the floor for discussion.

481
01:06:32,489 --> 01:06:36,159
>> Mayor say that for both Andy and Barbara, you really make our work easy because

482
01:06:36,159 --> 01:06:41,631
when you now that you have such a competent and thorough staff, you know everything is

483
01:06:41,631 --> 01:06:46,437
well prepared and it makes it easy as a member council to know when you have such

484
01:06:46,437 --> 01:06:56,437
confidence in the team. So >> do do do do run the board it really is a pleasure. As

485
01:06:59,516 --> 01:07:02,386
the chair. I echo in his words completely. You and your team are just the best. Just flat

486
01:07:02,386 --> 01:07:07,191
out. Leave it at that. Put the exclamation point the end of that. So thank you for

487
01:07:07,191 --> 01:07:11,661
everything that you do. All those in favor motion. Please signify by saying Aye. I.

488
01:07:11,661 --> 01:07:17,610
>> I. Any opposed motion passes unanimously miss Black Boy.

489
01:07:22,472 --> 01:07:24,475
>> Thank you. Thank you, everyone. And I really appreciate the confidence in

490
01:07:24,475 --> 01:07:31,140
the evaluation and as I said that the committee meeting, we have the best staff we're

491
01:07:31,140 --> 01:07:34,751
small but mighty. And you know, the we all do the work they get, do the work they

492
01:07:34,751 --> 01:07:42,551
make. And you may look great. And so thank you to them, especially.

493
01:07:43,893 --> 01:07:51,693
>> Item or 4 counsel's report. Thank you all. Thank you. This Playboy executive director.

494
01:07:57,645 --> 01:08:04,919
>> Thank you. Thanks and thanks again for the for the evaluation appreciate it. So.

495
01:08:04,919 --> 01:08:11,593
Item are for just a couple of housekeeping items related to meeting dates. The first thing

496
01:08:11,593 --> 01:08:15,730
would be the October meeting date I had emailed you because the county commission was

497
01:08:15,730 --> 01:08:21,336
going to take your October 22nd date. So we shift to you to October 29th. They did not,

498
01:08:21,336 --> 01:08:28,743
in fact, take that meeting date. So I know there's an mpo function on the 22nd. So if

499
01:08:28,743 --> 01:08:32,547
you want to, we can still we still have this room for October 29th at that. work so

500
01:08:32,547 --> 01:08:36,818
works for >> I would prefer if you could, without objection,

501
01:08:36,818 --> 01:08:42,818
anything. >> Okay. So we'll have the October day October. 29 over.

502
01:08:45,930 --> 01:08:51,693
29. Okay. Perfect. Thank And the combined NOVA November December meeting December

503
01:08:52,330 --> 01:08:56,838
seems to be the leader and that I have 11 members respond. And I had 11 for

504
01:08:56,838 --> 01:09:00,909
December 3rd and 9 for December 10th. >> so we can put that on the

505
01:09:00,909 --> 01:09:07,716
books for number 30 >> Okay. Great. Thank you. >> Then the the 3rd item is

506
01:09:07,716 --> 01:09:13,587
related to our next update. And we did include in your car or in your backup materials

507
01:09:13,587 --> 01:09:18,259
under the executive directors report the letter from Florida Commerce, the county

508
01:09:18,259 --> 01:09:24,265
Commission, you may recall transmitted the Broward next amendments to the state in

509
01:09:24,265 --> 01:09:31,500
June. And we did receive a finding of and void per Senate Bill. 180, the incentive-based

510
01:09:31,500 --> 01:09:35,900
amendments that were transmitted were found to be are strict of a burdensome on

511
01:09:35,900 --> 01:09:41,348
2 pieces of them took us several weeks. We're able to have a call with Florida

512
01:09:41,348 --> 01:09:46,153
Commerce and we have found a path forward that we were able to proceed to adoption with

513
01:09:46,153 --> 01:09:54,962
the county commission if they so desire. And I would just say that, you know, if your

514
01:09:54,962 --> 01:09:59,300
local government receives a finding of non void the way to I think the path forward is to

515
01:09:59,300 --> 01:10:03,971
consult with your legal counsel, meet with Florida Commerce to see if you're able

516
01:10:03,971 --> 01:10:11,979
to resolve their concerns, which we were able to very easily do. And so we will be

517
01:10:11,979 --> 01:10:17,385
proceeding with the packet for adoption. But I just wanted to alert you to 2 minor changes

518
01:10:17,385 --> 01:10:24,658
that will be made to the adoption package. Thank you, too. Yes, so that that's all.

519
01:10:24,658 --> 01:10:29,196
So that concludes the executive director's report. We have 2 public hearing items

520
01:10:29,196 --> 01:10:36,404
on the agenda Recertification, 2 sites in the city of Tamarac and then item 2 is in the city

521
01:10:36,404 --> 01:10:42,810
of Coral Springs. The both cities have waived their quasi judicial proceedings that we

522
01:10:42,810 --> 01:10:48,483
have no one signed in to speak other than applicant agents or local governments.

523
01:10:48,483 --> 01:10:54,822
>> Mr. Chairman, I'd like to move items pH one and 2 together. We have a motion for

524
01:10:54,822 --> 01:10:57,959
Americans to moving Page one page, 2 of the second from school board members any

525
01:10:57,959 --> 01:11:03,764
further discussion on item. Hearing none. All those in favor. Please signify by

526
01:11:03,764 --> 01:11:09,164
saying Aye. >> I I. Any opposed. Motion passes unanimously

527
01:11:13,574 --> 01:11:17,645
outstanding. before we adjourn to members wanted to say a few things. So I'm gonna first

528
01:11:17,645 --> 01:11:21,716
turn the floor over to Mayor Gomez and then 2 school board members Thank you very much.

529
01:11:21,716 --> 01:11:31,716
>> It is half as time. So October 10 is my for the I say the word taught was so is it's

530
01:11:32,193 --> 01:11:38,793
it's basically during. >> B***** cancer Awareness Month. In last time you

531
01:11:38,933 --> 01:11:40,868
introduce issues, that's something we can all celebrated the end of new

532
01:11:40,868 --> 01:11:47,875
member of weekend. >> It been an issue, but yes and actually cause men have

533
01:11:47,875 --> 01:11:50,277
does too. So it's basically for awareness what you do. Men get b***** cancer. That's why

534
01:11:50,277 --> 01:11:55,683
a ribbon that shows it and >> you can't be about about a body parts. We have to take

535
01:11:55,683 --> 01:11:59,219
care of them. That's why here and we're live puppets. Good. Hey. You know what? If you

536
01:11:59,219 --> 01:12:05,492
weren't married at auction, you off. that's what I might be doing Not enough. This

537
01:12:05,492 --> 01:12:11,990
year. campaign years for people want to embarrass him too badly. And it's letting

538
01:12:11,990 --> 01:12:15,235
everybody know if you're available. Please come out. And if I can have and

539
01:12:15,235 --> 01:12:19,640
executive director sent out an email with the information on the event. It's a fun event.

540
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:25,113
It's best to come in the Aedes and then you just left the night away and you raise money

541
01:12:25,113 --> 01:12:28,916
for time. I can play Neverland Fun Gilda's Club and American Cancer. So wonderful. Thank

542
01:12:28,916 --> 01:12:36,716
Thank you. I see Perfect. Thank If school board members my chair, I.

543
01:12:42,797 --> 01:12:45,867
>> searching for some ideas. We're in the middle at the school board of looking hard

544
01:12:45,867 --> 01:12:52,273
at how many schools we can afford to keep open in Broward County. And we have an

545
01:12:52,273 --> 01:12:55,676
exhaustive list of parents and volunteers and staff and even some senior students to talk

546
01:12:55,676 --> 01:13:02,817
to about that. We're having kind of a series of 47 community meetings on that.

547
01:13:02,817 --> 01:13:05,552
What I'm struggling with as a school board member. But someone cares deeply about

548
01:13:05,552 --> 01:13:12,626
that. All of our county. Is all the other people that would either benefit or not

549
01:13:12,626 --> 01:13:16,564
benefit from schools closing. We do a very good job in our community meetings of getting

550
01:13:16,564 --> 01:13:21,636
out to people who are directly involved in schools public education. But we're going to

551
01:13:21,636 --> 01:13:25,440
do some things that would allow for parks to be developed in certain cities.

552
01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:29,420
We're gonna do some things that transit sites could be developed for doing something

553
01:13:29,420 --> 01:13:33,581
in Pompano. That's exciting, which is we closed an old-school Dave Thomas. That

554
01:13:33,581 --> 01:13:38,986
had been open for years and we converted it into workforce housing for Broward County

555
01:13:38,986 --> 01:13:44,124
employees. Actual. And so that is something we're working h*** o*. One of the proposals

556
01:13:44,124 --> 01:13:47,328
before the school board would free up 14,000 units in Broward County for Affordable

557
01:13:47,328 --> 01:13:52,467
and Workforce housing. The problem is I I never hear from anybody. That's an advocate

558
01:13:52,467 --> 01:13:58,339
for housing supply. I never hear for anybody who's an advocate for more parks. I

559
01:13:58,339 --> 01:14:03,144
don't hear from people who want, you know, transit centers to be developed or or

560
01:14:03,144 --> 01:14:05,613
just good commercial development to happen, where it makes sense where we

561
01:14:05,613 --> 01:14:12,286
currently have property. So I love now or separately. If you want to call or email me to

562
01:14:12,286 --> 01:14:16,423
get ideas about how to get more people to get involved in this. It's coming to our town

563
01:14:16,423 --> 01:14:20,280
hall meetings. That's that's an easy thing. But I just don't how to reach them all.

564
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:25,500
And then second is to just open up that conversation so that the people who would

565
01:14:25,500 --> 01:14:29,369
benefit just give you an example. Our superintendent proposed closing 10 schools.

566
01:14:29,369 --> 01:14:35,909
The net effect of that will be on 1.3% of the population our county. That means 87 point.

567
01:14:35,909 --> 01:14:41,182
89. 98.7 starts early. A Broward County who would benefit from a new park from

568
01:14:41,182 --> 01:14:45,386
affordable housing for them. You know, redevelopment of commercial space in a way that

569
01:14:45,386 --> 01:14:50,725
fit within the community. We always communicate with the with the city's. I think we do

570
01:14:50,725 --> 01:14:53,861
fairly good job. I think probably even do better than fairly good job. And if we

571
01:14:53,861 --> 01:14:58,933
don't, I'm happy as the county wide guy close those conversations. I'm really

572
01:14:58,933 --> 01:15:04,500
trying to figure out how to get that. 98.7% that would benefit or or somehow be

573
01:15:04,500 --> 01:15:08,876
affected by a close school or or surplus ing of the land where the largest landowner

574
01:15:08,876 --> 01:15:14,347
Brevard County. But I want to have a conversation with Broward County and I could do

575
01:15:14,347 --> 01:15:17,885
it through cities. I can reach out and asked you to, you know, announce these a

576
01:15:17,885 --> 01:15:21,955
community meetings. What I'm trying to figure out a way to have a bigger conversation

577
01:15:21,955 --> 01:15:29,296
with people. We do polls but our poll data is generally for people directly involved in

578
01:15:29,296 --> 01:15:32,833
schools, not for the whole community. So if you have any ideas, your now great. If you

579
01:15:32,833 --> 01:15:37,638
want reach out to me. I really appreciate I want I want the whole community to be involved

580
01:15:37,638 --> 01:15:42,710
in this. We're not going to sign until December. So we got a little bit of time, but

581
01:15:42,710 --> 01:15:46,460
appreciate I could, just if anyone has a thoughts now, you know what a what I my my

582
01:15:46,460 --> 01:15:52,385
initial thought is Dr. first of all, I applaud the effort. >> To try to get as much

583
01:15:52,385 --> 01:15:56,524
feedback as possible. So thank you for doing that. But if some ideas and kind of

584
01:15:56,524 --> 01:16:00,127
outlined just a very simple white paper, that's what you're doing at the school

585
01:16:00,127 --> 01:16:04,665
board level coming in December. And what type of feedback you want. I know

586
01:16:04,665 --> 01:16:11,405
between up here with all the municipality represent all individual organizations we

587
01:16:11,405 --> 01:16:15,750
represent. We can then talk about at high level. You know, I know that in Pompano Beach

588
01:16:15,750 --> 01:16:19,800
up, take that back immediately to my economic development council. It has parks and

589
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:24,818
recreation under that has cultural affairs and has housing underneath it. So we I

590
01:16:24,818 --> 01:16:29,756
think between all of us, we have the ability to it to go out there and make substantial

591
01:16:29,756 --> 01:16:33,493
comments for you to use in the future. So start with the simple thing. What you are

592
01:16:33,493 --> 01:16:39,766
trying to do and we'll do our best to help you put in and they'll do that. I'll do that

593
01:16:39,766 --> 01:16:43,971
today. And to the extent one of the wonderful things we had this past year's Mardi Care

594
01:16:43,971 --> 01:16:47,410
walking around, you know, doing the actual facts, impact presentation again, not

595
01:16:47,410 --> 01:16:50,778
talking to vote for it or against it. >> But just kind of making

596
01:16:50,778 --> 01:16:56,450
Jerry Jones a where's going and I can do the same thing with any group.

597
01:16:56,450 --> 01:16:59,453
>> For 5 minutes, just so that they're aware of the impact that is since then the sites

598
01:16:59,453 --> 01:17:03,123
that we're looking That would be amazing. It's a big start with Exactly. Someone saying

599
01:17:03,123 --> 01:17:13,123
something a line. I'm sorry. >> I'm lives. I'm sorry, and then But yes, I think that's a

600
01:17:15,403 --> 01:17:21,409
great idea. We can all get involved I want to congratulate you on your wind.

601
01:17:21,409 --> 01:17:30,409
That is even I was very pleased. And also. Listen, love Mark this year. Very

602
01:17:30,751 --> 01:17:35,555
pleased for with 3 elections. And I just want to say, I'm sorry, I'm going off topic,

603
01:17:35,555 --> 01:17:41,162
but Andy and Barbara, excellent job. And Steph, amazing You do make it look

604
01:17:41,162 --> 01:17:49,436
very easy for us. Thank you. Thank you. come so much. >> I have as and that I have

605
01:17:49,436 --> 01:17:55,909
Mayor Gomez and their levy scream Bird. So we're gonna start with. America. Still, I

606
01:17:55,909 --> 01:18:02,509
do not know enough about. legal authority at the at District.

609
01:18:29,610 --> 01:18:34,415

612
01:18:54,635 --> 01:19:00,241
of of one-time sale, which would be, you know, one time dollars, let's say, to fix up

613
01:19:00,241 --> 01:19:06,460
the balance of your schools are to make some other capital investment or whatever. Let's

614
01:19:06,460 --> 01:19:09,490
say, you've got you're going to call close and you own it outright, know, leasing it or

615
01:19:09,490 --> 01:19:19,490
anything else. And you decide that you want to partner with city, be to put housing tower

616
01:19:20,127 --> 01:19:27,268
there, which will benefit not just district employees, but community members from that

617
01:19:27,268 --> 01:19:31,672
city. And I say from that city because that's happens to be my preference in terms of

618
01:19:31,672 --> 01:19:39,472
killing NIMBYism, which is irrational affordable housing. When you tell people that, you

619
01:19:43,283 --> 01:19:46,754
know, your city is partnering to house their own. they begin to soften a little bit more.

620
01:19:46,754 --> 01:19:55,950
And I think that every city that does that and the more cities that do that, the less.

621
01:19:55,950 --> 01:19:59,330
Formidable, this thing becomes. But let's say, let's say that you're able to do

622
01:19:59,330 --> 01:20:04,905
that in some sort of long term way. I don't know what the district's legal position is

623
01:20:04,905 --> 01:20:12,266
to do that. I would hope that you'd be able to do that. So if you're able to do that, I

624
01:20:12,266 --> 01:20:20,140
would explore the on a case-by-case basis with each city. Parks is an expense.

625
01:20:20,140 --> 01:20:25,746
It's it brings you quality of life. Life to your to residents. But quality life

626
01:20:25,746 --> 01:20:31,746
right now is >> so I say >> not core. Not core.

627
01:20:38,958 --> 01:20:48,958
>> To the mood of the day it is expensive. And but housing is an asset. And so I I would

628
01:20:51,905 --> 01:20:59,313
I would definitely a look at the of those possibilities. I don't know whether you have

629
01:20:59,313 --> 01:21:02,916
looked at in buildings that you currently own and operate. >> The the business model for

630
01:21:02,916 --> 01:21:11,916
continuing education. I I think I think that there is a lot of continuing education.

631
01:21:13,260 --> 01:21:22,260
Even for graduates that they're willing to pay for. And I don't know whether post

632
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:33,872
secondary education. Involving some level of tuition is. Is something years. Your school

633
01:21:36,483 --> 01:21:42,623
district I I don't know the legal, the legality of that. But there were in desperate

634
01:21:42,623 --> 01:21:49,162
need of of trade services from post-secondary graduates. So yesterday, Mayor I I spent the

635
01:21:49,162 --> 01:21:55,762
day with the secretary of >> administrator for Small Business administration from

636
01:21:59,506 --> 01:22:03,577
District Loeffler and the acting Secretary of Commerce, Keith Sutherland, whose have

637
01:22:03,577 --> 01:22:07,847
turns out to be from Palm Beach County. They both came down and they've wanted to

638
01:22:07,847 --> 01:22:10,517
visit our technical colleges. We in Broward County, some you should be proud of. I'm not.

639
01:22:10,517 --> 01:22:17,791
I'm not trying to gloat. We run the 3 best technical just in the state in the world. We

640
01:22:17,791 --> 01:22:20,126
have people from your. We have people from Wyoming and California. They come to see

641
01:22:20,126 --> 01:22:24,664
shared in Atlantic better. We're expanding that capability now because it's

642
01:22:24,664 --> 01:22:27,334
not just stuck on those 3 properties were doing it in our traditional schools as

643
01:22:27,334 --> 01:22:33,273
well. So we're wide open about people going to work right after school and kids to come

644
01:22:33,273 --> 01:22:37,211
and pay tuition. And there's a Pell Grant now to cover the first $1700 and everybody to

645
01:22:37,211 --> 01:22:45,152
go back to get certified in theirs. lot. A lot of good work on Mayor land to maybe to

646
01:22:45,152 --> 01:22:52,920
your benefit to to bring on a consultant to. >> To look at the repurposing

647
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:57,764
of your properties, thank you. I I think it's important. Before we get appreciate your

648
01:22:57,764 --> 01:23:04,971
comments. I think this is a time for ideation. This is the time to kind of put everything

649
01:23:04,971 --> 01:23:07,400
out there, not figure out whether it's legal not legal. Anything else at this point.

650
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:11,645
Let's not worry. Let's figure out how to do it. a good thing to do. Let's do it. So I would

651
01:23:11,645 --> 01:23:13,847
say between now and December, let's just get as much on paper as possible and then

652
01:23:13,847 --> 01:23:19,520
kind of evaluate in a ranked or what's the most important, you know, going down. But we

653
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:23,657
can do. But I think there's there's nothing that's off the table, in my opinion for your

654
01:23:23,657 --> 01:23:28,795
asking flights to best chair. Exactly 4. They're Gomez, thank America's They're going

655
01:23:28,795 --> 01:23:33,933
I will reach out to the realtors. And have them help you out some point they're

656
01:23:33,933 --> 01:23:38,204
going to be the ones bringing people to live. Work or play in the area. If they're

657
01:23:38,204 --> 01:23:48,148
renting out space for things like that. Very good point. So >> Well, this is a county wide

658
01:23:48,148 --> 01:23:54,154
effort. Every school, every school site sits on a commercial roadway is a little

659
01:23:54,154 --> 01:23:57,357
bit of a has cultural local impact, whether it's to the families that attend the

660
01:23:57,357 --> 01:24:01,895
school or, you know what would fit within the context of, for example, Sink Valley

661
01:24:01,895 --> 01:24:04,631
neighborhood. So while it is good to, of course, and I agree completely about the

662
01:24:04,631 --> 01:24:09,969
ideation on a global level there are going to be cite specific issues that, you

663
01:24:09,969 --> 01:24:15,909
know, help steer. You know, what would be the repurposing of this particular Just

664
01:24:15,909 --> 01:24:20,647
pathetic Lee. But my question was really, just if you explain to us to what extent

665
01:24:20,647 --> 01:24:28,122
from what we see in the media do the schools of hope have first right of refusal for any

666
01:24:28,122 --> 01:24:33,326
How does that fit into the closure of 10 potentially? again, just read newspaper

667
01:24:33,326 --> 01:24:36,997
articles here and there, but maybe you can tell us about that. schools of hope have the

668
01:24:36,997 --> 01:24:43,300
opportunity. >> In areas where there is low academic performance and low

669
01:24:43,300 --> 01:24:47,740
opportunity to take up space is available at all. Public schools. It's a very positive

670
01:24:47,740 --> 01:24:54,882
model in many regards places like KIPP, which is a school for hope come The hardest hit

671
01:24:54,882 --> 01:25:00,820
areas, areas that need the greatest help. They've shown that they bring a model it for

672
01:25:00,820 --> 01:25:05,959
the same amount of money can lift a more folks up and do a tremendous job. We have one of

673
01:25:05,959 --> 01:25:15,350
them. So Kate just opened this year and there and, you know, we're optimistic about that.

674
01:25:15,350 --> 01:25:18,972
There there are some sites for which that is legally permitted. And there's a lot

675
01:25:18,972 --> 01:25:25,645
of sites where it's not so in Brevard County right now. 84 1% of our schools be schools.

676
01:25:25,645 --> 01:25:29,716
So we're doing pretty well terms academic performance. lifted up of it. Might first 4

677
01:25:29,716 --> 01:25:34,188
years, an average of a great and a half in school performance. It's really a

678
01:25:34,188 --> 01:25:38,191
remarkable year. Rising tide does lift all ships. also increased teacher pay

679
01:25:38,191 --> 01:25:42,595
America's deal by $13,000 following the Pembroke Pines model in their charter schools

680
01:25:42,595 --> 01:25:47,200
where they've set a very high standard for compensating there. They're teachers so

681
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,336
compliments to fines for that. What they've done with their charter school teachers. And

682
01:25:49,336 --> 01:25:54,474
we're trying to follow follow suit. But schools of hope to have the authority to move in

683
01:25:54,474 --> 01:26:01,215
in those specific schools. It's not something that is economically feasible in a lot

684
01:26:01,215 --> 01:26:05,619
of places, even even on top of that. So Kip has to make sure that they can break in order

685
01:26:05,619 --> 01:26:11,491
to do it and they have to fit into socioeconomic factors in order fit in because we're 84%

686
01:26:11,491 --> 01:26:16,516
a and B, it's not a lot in Broward County. There's other school districts go in. And by

687
01:26:16,516 --> 01:26:21,921
the way, this decline in enrollment mayor that have read about this year, we lost

688
01:26:21,921 --> 01:26:26,592
12,000 students in one year 20,000 students last 2 years, equivalent of 40 elementary

689
01:26:26,592 --> 01:26:33,999
schools worth of kids we lost in 2 years. It's in every urban district United States.

690
01:26:33,999 --> 01:26:38,937
So it's not Broward schools as failing. It's like there's just not as many kids having

691
01:26:38,937 --> 01:26:42,274
kids later and there might be a little bit immigration. There's definitely an

692
01:26:42,274 --> 01:26:48,281
affordability crisis, which is why this idea of of leases that turn into affordable or

693
01:26:48,281 --> 01:26:53,552
workforce housing. It's so appealing because we think folks that have moved up to

694
01:26:53,552 --> 01:26:58,691
Melbourne or to Fort Myers where it's so much cheaper live may consider coming back.

695
01:26:58,691 --> 01:27:01,294
And that, you know, we're we're we're trying to contribute to the housing

696
01:27:01,294 --> 01:27:04,163
stock issue at the same time, we're running a school district and that's why what

697
01:27:04,163 --> 01:27:09,435
that conversation to be bigger. And wanted to just be about completely jury. These

698
01:27:09,435 --> 01:27:11,838
26 students in middle school, you know, having to go to another middle school because

699
01:27:11,838 --> 01:27:16,108
I will argue that they're going to go to a better middle school full schools are better

700
01:27:16,108 --> 01:27:22,648
schools. A Madras aboard. But I also know that that to the chair's point, the highest and

701
01:27:22,648 --> 01:27:27,720
best use of each individual parcel is what we ought to be working with. The city's on to

702
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:29,789
make sure that that's what the eventual uses. And then we'll figure out a way to get

703
01:27:29,789 --> 01:27:39,389
exactly. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Mayor Lee. >> Hello, as you know, I have

704
01:27:40,660 --> 01:27:42,680
2 children that one is graduated from Broward County, Public Schools and other is

705
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:51,543
senior. I have been raising my children here in Broward County enacted a lot with her

706
01:27:51,543 --> 01:27:57,830
public schools and the question I have for you is what is the county doing to

707
01:27:57,830 --> 01:28:05,483
recruit? Students to come back to Broward County schools going back to peep 2 parents

708
01:28:06,910 --> 01:28:11,830
that may have an enrolled put there kidney charter school. Having Kinder kindergarten

709
01:28:11,830 --> 01:28:18,237
roundups, partnering with our cities advertising our excellent schools. The major

710
01:28:18,237 --> 01:28:22,908
winds that they've had, whether it's their a grade, the Broward County schools

711
01:28:22,908 --> 01:28:26,712
being lifted up to an a rated school district. These are awesome accomplishments and we

712
01:28:26,712 --> 01:28:34,854
should be screaming them from the rooftops. But we're not at least I'm not seeing that.

713
01:28:34,854 --> 01:28:41,326
Early-childhood education and day care is a major gap that parents need help with. Talk

714
01:28:41,326 --> 01:28:45,531
to former Senator Nan Rich County commissioner. She has a lot of ideas around that and

715
01:28:45,531 --> 01:28:53,931
he's a wonderful help with early childhood education it's expensive. It's I mean, I

716
01:28:53,940 --> 01:28:58,110
remember when I have my kids in school and you have young minds, you know, it's

717
01:28:58,110 --> 01:29:02,882
expensive. Parents oftentimes don't work because it's cheaper to stay home with the

718
01:29:02,882 --> 01:29:10,556
child instead of paying for daycare. And that affects the whole budget. So another

719
01:29:10,556 --> 01:29:15,628
question was how has immigration changes that we're having right now in our

720
01:29:15,628 --> 01:29:20,428
country affected our enrollment overall. >> Carol, to summarize,

721
01:29:24,904 --> 01:29:27,440
because I feel like a hijacked as meaning a little bit, but it's really important, I

722
01:29:27,440 --> 01:29:32,912
think, to our to our communities. Appreciate your time and amazing ideas. We

723
01:29:32,912 --> 01:29:35,782
have a close one school 2 years ago that we turn into early childhood education

724
01:29:35,782 --> 01:29:39,986
center is very successful. Doubtfire states. We are looking at every available

725
01:29:39,986 --> 01:29:48,386
classroom because now we have 60,000 unused school seats for any site that has daycare

726
01:29:48,528 --> 01:29:52,264
deserts were used to park deserts. Now we're looking for day care deserts where it's

727
01:29:52,264 --> 01:29:57,270
tremendously expensive. There's just not enough seats. So that's a great problem to

728
01:29:57,270 --> 01:30:00,139
have. But daycare centers actually have capacity and a lot of places now because

729
01:30:00,139 --> 01:30:05,478
there's so few kids being born that they're they're struggling to attract people

730
01:30:05,478 --> 01:30:10,820
are our communications number one communications is just the quality of our school. Every

731
01:30:10,820 --> 01:30:13,952
realtor on listing. You know, you go and you look about the 3rd line, it says, hey, you

732
01:30:13,952 --> 01:30:20,493
would go to these schools and they're rated AAA I'm I'm actually in very preliminary

733
01:30:20,493 --> 01:30:25,964
conversations with the development around gallery. Gallery is going to 4,000 new

734
01:30:25,964 --> 01:30:29,350
housing developments on it. 1300 of them will be affordable or workforce

735
01:30:29,350 --> 01:30:31,571
housing across the street. We have one of the best elementary schools in the

736
01:30:31,571 --> 01:30:38,440
state. And so if we can work with the city to expand the Cup, Cassidy of that site, we

737
01:30:38,440 --> 01:30:41,847
would be attracting people to Broward County to live where they're allowed to do the

738
01:30:41,847 --> 01:30:45,518
development. According live local laws and they walk across the street to one of

739
01:30:45,518 --> 01:30:48,587
the best elementary schools, middle schools, high school tracks. It states the high

740
01:30:48,587 --> 01:30:53,126
school that would feed is the 24th best high school to 25,000 high schools. United

741
01:30:53,126 --> 01:31:00,199
States. So we have some very successful schools the best way we communicate do well.

742
01:31:00,199 --> 01:31:05,204
And when we do well, everybody talks about EIGHTY-FOUR percent a and B average

743
01:31:05,204 --> 01:31:09,408
average high school scholarship flow this year. Chair average is gonna blow

744
01:31:09,408 --> 01:31:15,815
your mind. $50,000. That's incredible. And we just we can screen and we can yellow

745
01:31:15,815 --> 01:31:19,885
again. The media is not going to help us because it's all good news right now public

746
01:31:19,885 --> 01:31:24,557
says anything about the 99 dogs ago. Runaway right. And when we do well, it's it's the

747
01:31:24,557 --> 01:31:29,695
best way to communicate. I know it's low, but it really works week. We're really

748
01:31:29,695 --> 01:31:33,365
focused on doing well and making sure that the parents, the teachers and the

749
01:31:33,365 --> 01:31:37,236
volunteers and community to hear about these things to stop talking about private

750
01:31:37,236 --> 01:31:45,360
schools like, you they're okay. Yeah, because we're not okay. They're great. They're

751
01:31:45,378 --> 01:31:51,650
very, very good $1000 per high school graduate chair. >> As a good number, that's an

752
01:31:51,650 --> 01:31:54,186
incredible number. And I do agree with green for the mountain top because it's a

753
01:31:54,186 --> 01:32:03,595
big number put a bow on this. We're going to we're going to wait for your little white

754
01:32:03,595 --> 01:32:05,931
paper coming out, what you're actually looking for and we are going to spread the word

755
01:32:05,931 --> 01:32:10,869
for you. >> Okay. Thank you. Any other discussion, business new

756
01:32:10,869 --> 01:32:14,740
business that we missed. The only thing we want to talk about is our next meeting. MS

757
01:32:14,740 --> 01:32:20,746
Playboy. >> You I did. I think you actually for saying again, we

758
01:32:20,746 --> 01:32:24,160
can cancel the September meeting. I am so sorry. Forgot to say that during my report.

759
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:28,372
I apologize. Okay. You've you have it. >> You have a chance to say

760
01:32:28,372 --> 01:32:32,910
it. Now I know one would have known that to your pollen. >> I would like I would

761
01:32:32,910 --> 01:32:37,381
recommend that you cancel your September meeting. We do not have any public hearing.

762
01:32:37,381 --> 01:32:42,786

763
01:32:42,786 --> 01:32:48,792
We'll everybody in October. Thank you all. Very good meeting. Without objection.

764
01:32:48,792 --> 01:32:53,864
What is What is the date in October is October? Joining 29 minutes also I know. It's not
