[14:57] ? >> Appreciate >> that. Very, very diplomatic
[15:05] of you. Thank you. All right. We are going to call the executive committee meeting to
[15:12] order for August. 27 2026. It is now 9.30. >> Barber? You have the floor.
[15:19] Thank you. We do have a quorum, schoolboard men's members. Seaman is on his way,
[15:24] but we are getting started. I'm sure he Thank you. Said this morning item one on your
[15:31] agenda is a local planning agency review. And as you know, as the local planning
[15:38] agency to the Broward County Board of Commissioners, there are some could ordinance
[15:43] changes that we cry or you're finding of consistency with the Broward County Land use
[15:46] plan and this proposed revision is one of those. I'm just going to give you a very
[15:50] quick high-level summary of this. And this is really related to the collection of
[15:56] concurrency in impact fees. And as that has not been happening since 2024 and the
[16:04] county staff has prepared that was to comply with Florida statutes because this studies
[16:11] have been done within the last 4 years like any new the fee would have to have 100% of the
[16:15] commission or council 2 to vote on it. I school board member Seaman is walking in as
[16:21] we speak. >> So this is in compliance with the county plan and with
[16:29] the adoption of Broward Max were actually striking through these policies because if
[16:34] there's no collection right now, currently of impact fees are concurrently fees. There's
[16:38] no reason to have those policies. And the Broward County Lee's plan.
[16:41] >> So these revision should be sound should be found in compliance with Broward County
[16:45] Land use Plan and Barbie doll south from the county staff is here. If you have any specific
[16:50] questions about the code changes. Excellent questions about the changes. Do we need
[17:02] a motion? a motion. Just so of finding generally consistent and that will be forwarded to
[17:06] the full Council at your 10 o'clock meeting second >> okay. We have a motion a
[17:13] second. All those in favor. Please signify by saying Aye. Motion passes unanimously.
[17:18] Thank you. you say who made the motion of the SEC about 4 people got on. of one will go
[17:23] with Mayor Brunson made the motion and Mayor Gomez second. Okay. Thank you. Items 2, 3, I
[17:32] will defer to the chair. All right. Well, this is my favorite time of year and, you
[17:40] know, it's getting easier for me to write these because I take of last year's change.
[17:45] The date and basically say the exact same thing may be a little different water. But if
[17:47] you put it next to each other, if you put next to each other, they look similar. So like I
[17:53] didn't like it I'm not going to read entire entire memo. But we're going to start with
[17:59] Andy the council's attorney and my my evaluation, obviously we all feel the same
[18:08] way. I'm going to give everybody a chance to chime in on that. So I'm not going to
[18:11] take too much time, but I'm going to read kind of the first paragraph of that. I'm
[18:14] going to read the last paragraph kind of skipped the performance in key
[18:17] contributions. I know you've all read this, but I will just kind of jump right in. So
[18:23] pursuant a letter of understanding dated August 31st. 1995 and reaffirm 2
[18:26] subsequent planning Council action. The Broward County Planning Council conduct an
[18:32] annual review of its legal counsel as chair of the Broward County Planning
[18:34] Council. I prepared this memorandum to summarize, Mr Road. This is performance over
[18:38] the past year evaluate continued services planning Council attorney. Mr.
[18:46] continues to demonstrate exceptional legal judgment, professional rigor and ethical
[18:49] integrity in his role as Planning Council attorney with more than 30 years of service
[18:53] to the council, he brings a deep understanding of the legal framework covering the
[18:57] council's work and of the Broward County Land use Plan. His guidance helps ensure that
[19:02] the council's deliberations and decisions rest on sound legal footing and this conduct
[19:09] consistently reflects the highest standards. Of the profession throughout the
[19:13] year, Mr. Morrow says reminded excessive has remained accessible, responsive and
[19:18] well prepared. He addresses matters ranging from procedural questions to
[19:23] accomplish complex regular lair. That regulatory issues with clarity and care. He
[19:29] provides 3rd you of documents, legal opinions applicable statutes and administrative
[19:34] Rules, Staffing Council leadership continue to rely on is prompt guidance,
[19:39] particularly matters are time sensitive. Or highly visible. His extensive background, the
[19:45] state and local governments combined with his institutional knowledge of the
[19:49] Planning Council remains significant as it Mr. Rose also maintains a productive
[19:53] working relationship with the Broward County Attorney's Office supporting effective
[19:57] communication with the Council County Commission and the county staff and strengthening
[20:02] the efficiency effectiveness and credibility of the council's work. Listen, the
[20:08] performance contributions he's done there and then the conclusion Mr. A performance
[20:13] during the past year continues to warrant the highest level of recognition. He has
[20:18] provided steady, ineffective legal counsel in significant policy and regulatory matters
[20:22] supported the council through complex proceedings and ensure that its work remains grounded
[20:26] in sound legal analysis and professional integrity, although Mr. Rhodes meets the
[20:32] requirements for merit based compensation increase. He is again, declined an adjustment.
[20:38] His decision flexes longstanding commitment to the Planning Council and more than
[20:41] 3 decades of dedicated service in light of his can 10, you'd exemplary service. I recommend
[20:48] that this evaluation be entered into the official record and that the Planning
[20:52] Council reaffirm its confidence Mr. Munro's continued service as Planning
[20:56] Council attorney, his professionalism, integrity and effectiveness continue to
[21:01] serve at the Broward County Planning Council. Well. Doctors are human.
[21:13] >> Chair. We're going to go through this same item in a regular meetings that
[21:15] currently are make sense to save our comments for that. So no, to a broader and you do it
[21:19] twice to a dry spell feel free. We have a little bit of I let other people go first.
[21:24] But amazing amazing staff support it. I mean there there's not much more to say.
[21:28] Excellent. Thank you. Any other comments case, you're OK? Great job.
[21:39] >> And we want make a motion to move that forward to >> Yes, please what we have
[21:44] recommendation of approval of of the chairs evaluation evaluation. And and a picture
[21:53] from 1995 that on his phone. So I'm pretty sure everybody needs to see it. we if we need
[21:56] to put that, I want it that on the screen just name just showed be while you were
[22:03] talking. He's like this is 1995. So I do have a photo that you wanted to
[22:11] >> We have a motion. motion of Florida Mayor Goma second by America. Still, you in
[22:15] supporting evaluation of the chair. All those in favor. Please signify by saying any
[22:20] opposed motion passes unanimously. Thank, Thank you so much.
[22:25] >> This representing this board and this group specially deficit is a labor of love for
[22:33] me, it's just a pleasure. They make it you're going to through view after this and
[22:38] they make a brief to be their attorney to fill up. But I appreciate all of you. Thank
[22:45] >> As a person that you make it look easy partner and you're great with me, you
[22:47] know, and have complex questions. You answer me later. Always available. So
[22:52] definitely appreciate what we said is real. I could have gone for a couple more pages,
[22:55] but thank you. On the item are 3, which is the executive director valuation. Again,
[23:06] very similar to the county to our councils attorney. I could've taken last year's in
[23:12] the year before and year before and kind of just to play a lot of the same thing.
[23:14] Really fantastic work. But I will do the same read kind of the first. Portion and then
[23:19] the conclusion. Pursuant to the letter of Understanding dated 5/24/2012, the Broward
[23:26] County Planning Counsel conducts. And then view of the executive director as chair of
[23:32] the Broward County Planning Council. I prepared this memorandum to summarize Miss
[23:36] Barbara Blick boys performance over the past year and to evaluate your continued
[23:40] service as executor director. Leadership judgment, Strategic direction. boy joined the
[23:47] Planning Council in 2000 after beginning her service with Broward County in 1996. And
[23:52] she has now completed her 14 years. Executive director. Her performance continues to
[23:59] reflect strong leadership, sound judgment and sustained commitment to the council's
[24:01] mission. She got a complex and highly visible work program while maintaining the
[24:07] confidence of council members municipal Partners, County staff and the development
[24:11] community. Throughout the year has demonstrated the ability to anticipate issues
[24:20] coordinate among multiple stakeholders and keep important planning matters.
[24:22] Moving in an orderly and professional manner. She remains accessible well
[24:26] prepared and solutions oriented and are institutional knowledge continues to be a
[24:31] significant asset to the Planning Council. Her leadership helped establish
[24:35] and sustain a cultural culture marked by professionalism, responsiveness,
[24:41] accountability, and the strong commitment to public service. Through clear expectations,
[24:47] consistent communication and a practical service oriented approach. boy is encourage
[24:52] council staff to remain attentive to the needs of council members, municipal
[24:56] Partners, County staff applicants and the members of the public. Next Burgos, the
[25:02] performance in key contributions, which I'm sure you've all read. But for the
[25:04] record, I'm going to read in the conclusion. Sports performance in the past year
[25:10] continues to warrant the highest level of recognition. She has provided steady and
[25:14] effective leadership on significant policy initiatives maintained a disciplined and
[25:18] efficient operation and ensure that the Planning Council remains responsive to the
[25:22] needs of its members. Local governments, county staff and the public, although Miss Boy
[25:27] meets the criteria for merit base increase, she has not requested a salary increase.
[25:31] Miss Baugh remains eligible for any future. Performance-based increases
[25:34] authorized by the county Commission in light of her continued exemplary service. I
[25:40] recommend that this evaluation be entered into the official record. Her professionalism,
[25:45] integrity and effectiveness continue to serve the Broward County Planning Council. Well.
[25:48] This Playboy. Further discussion. we have a motion from America's steals
[25:58] second for Mayor Brunson. All those in favor. Please signify by saying Aye. Aye. Any
[26:04] opposed motion passes unanimously. Miss Blake boy, you have the floor.
[26:09] >> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Obviously, I like it here. 26 But like we
[26:18] can do what what we do without our staff are great. We have a small but mighty staff. You
[26:26] >> We work hard and we make sure that the agenda materials, you know, are out
[26:28] to you guys. But you always have the information that you need. And if there's ever
[26:31] anything that we're lacking, just let us I we will do better. So I appreciate
[26:36] everyone here. So thank you. >> Excellent. Thank you. And thank you for recognizing your
[26:42] staff. They do a phenomenal job they definitely make us all look good. So thank you.
[26:50] >> Item 4 is so 2023, we did a review of the rules of procedure and we read option.
[26:59] Andy and I went through checking out rules, made sure we have modernized community
[27:03] media, communication, media technology section in compliance with I think the
[27:12] county's rules. So what I'd like to couple years of past, I'd like to do another review.
[27:15] I don't think we're going to need a holistic, but I've had, you know, members mentioned a
[27:20] couple of items from the rules for me. So Andy and I would like to take a look back
[27:25] through and if anyone has anything specific, they'd like to us to take a look we'd be
[27:29] happy to do that. Mr. Chan >> Thank Thank you. Miss Playboy. I think you and I've
[27:37] had a conversation previously. And one of the things I'd like to see us address. I'm not
[27:40] quite sure how address it is attendance we've got a lot of members. We have a core group
[27:48] of continually make an effort to show up and I don't know how Mr. Otis is advice. You
[27:54] can hold some of the other appointees accountable. But, you know, I know Mayor Brunson
[27:59] and I serve on a couple you know, county and state committees and we make every
[28:04] effort to be here. But, you know, I feel badly if I'm going to be out of town and
[28:10] you may be in danger of not having a quorum and it shouldn't be that way when we
[28:11] have so many seats available, appear so I'd like to see us address the attendance policy.
[28:21] >> Yeah, absolutely. I am me and I'll take a look at the commission's rules. Make sure
[28:23] that we're reflecting the board agencies and see if there's there's anything that
[28:28] weakens. >> What what is the polls? You know what? What is in?
[28:33] >> I haven't have it open to this page because know. But I want you to read for the
[28:36] record. I don't actually we've talked about Page under the the what's so really, I think
[28:42] a lot of this comes on to excuse absence, peace, too. And it's it's pretty liberal
[28:51] and I mean, just I don't want to get too much into it, but I think there might be a way for
[28:54] members going to be absent. The reason why they're absent to make sure it complies with
[28:58] one of the things there's like 10 or 12 different ways, you know, to be absent for
[29:01] meeting. >> So perhaps just, you know, when you're sending excuse
[29:05] absence of maybe it could be as simple as that because there's a as long as you have
[29:11] an excused, an unexcused absence. It doesn't count against you.
[29:17] >> Well, maybe one of the things that the council is talking about maybe only have
[29:19] so many excused absences for they become not excuse that right. And then they start
[29:24] getting into the other category. Right? So I think, you know, that's what probably
[29:27] look at limiting how many of those we have your cause. I we have some very strong minded
[29:32] folks here that we would love to have at the meeting in a regular basis. So yeah.
[29:38] >> So certainly so many India, I think want to say something. >> And what will look at it.
[29:43] There's also interfaith with certain county regulations. The county has certain adopted
[29:48] rules that that arguably a ploy to us. So which we have you know, if you're through,
[29:53] but we recognize the in doing type of things, you will still have to guard for the
[30:00] unintended consequences of particular rule in how it plays out certain
[30:04] circumstance. But we'll look at it carefully. Excellent. Appreciate thank u N. Any
[30:07] other comments. >> And I don't have the rules in front of me. And I don't
[30:14] know if this is what scope of those rules, but to the extent that there's anything that
[30:16] could be done for the sake of efficiency and allowing you all to process applications.
[30:22] And a matter that moves things along for the municipalities of the applicants. I would say
[30:26] that again, if that's within those rules that you think, you know, certain they
[30:31] threshold or application, you know, thresholds could be shortened or made more
[30:35] efficient any which way I would just support that endeavor. Absolutely,
[30:38] Anderson, thank you, Mayor. Further discussion. >> That's in this. I do just
[30:48] have one non agenda item. If it's okay, it's in your correspondence. It's the
[30:52] response that we got from the state of Florida Commerce as part of the transmittal of
[31:00] Broward next. So during the state's review and light of Senate Bill, 180, they did
[31:06] find the Burt County Land use plan, amendments, null and void and I'm smiling because
[31:12] I'm smiling because when we finally 3 weeks later, we're able to have a meeting with
[31:17] the staff because they don't list a rationale. They only listed policies that they
[31:21] thought were more restrictive or burdensome. So when we actually got on the phone had
[31:26] a meeting with them, it was 2 things that were very easily resolved and on I mean.
[31:35] Basically, but not but it. That's what that's basically what it felt You know, when we
[31:39] finally have the meeting with them. So we had an agreement with them on the phone that
[31:45] well, if we do these 2 things, which was just leave these 2 things in the plan. And
[31:50] they're like, well, that could address it. So so I sent them an email. We correspondent
[31:56] with them and what we take to the county commission will reflect those 2 pieces. So
[32:00] it's really issue, not an issue from staff's perspective and from from our legal
[32:07] counsel on from the from the county attorney's office. I was that straightforward well.
[32:11] So I just wanted to put back up and >> I absolutely appreciate
[32:19] staff's approach. Our approach from this dies where we because if we would have tried
[32:22] any of those incentive-based that would have been thrown back at are so many the
[32:29] resilience when we get in when we get into the details of if you want to know the details
[32:31] specifically about this, you can talk to. It really is silly. So we the approach we
[32:34] took was spot on. So I appreciate your guidance on that and staff guns on that
[32:39] good work. >> could borrow garceau Opportunity to discuss. Let's
[32:49] just call the rejection with the internal Department of What is the process that so if
[32:55] there is conversation between either a municipality or the, you know, Planning Council
[33:01] regards to something that gets It sounds like they give you an opportunity to coach you on
[33:04] and the one I want. If you're able to get it from them. So what would be okay and then
[33:11] the the ultimate, you know, City Commission or governmental authority could.
[33:15] The side to pass it under the guidance of what you know, they understood would be, you
[33:21] know, not allowed. And so the process can continue basically.
[33:27] >> Yes, so that's how staff and legal counsel is interpreting the Internet to
[33:31] the reapply for the light. When has there was there was a comment from Florida comments
[33:35] to commerce to Well, you may need to be. I don't even remember, we're with the word
[33:39] that they used was re re hearing. And I was like, what are what are we to? It was
[33:41] something I I said, you know, but the chapter one really allows for you to make changes
[33:51] from transmittal to adoption as long as they are. No. Did you know in your when we send
[33:55] the correspondents to them and these these 2 pieces are so straightforward, one of them
[34:01] was about the definition for affordable housing and the bonus density incentive about
[34:08] keeping in that. If you make up 240% of this while you're living mayor, that you're
[34:11] don't get removed from the housing. But it's part of the definition anyway. So it was
[34:17] just an and actually like a cleanup piece that we've so we can we've had and it's no
[34:21] problem. And then the other piece that they found in this case Actually opening up
[34:27] redevelopment. Right now. It's just in the recall, still high hazard area. But opening up
[34:33] that up county wide and under the redevelopment, the coastal high hazard area. There's part
[34:38] of the definition as if you decrease units by this patch, you can increase floor area by
[34:42] this much. And just talking here, they didn't. They thought that was about non
[34:50] residential development. It wasn't even in the same category as residential. So
[34:55] eyes. It was a total incentive-based. It was full. And I said, well, I said.
[35:00] Week, they said, well, we think it's more restrictive or burn some. And I said, well,
[35:04] then I think that we would propose leaving that in for this time. They're like you
[35:08] could do it after Senate Bill. 180, expires I'm like I got I got it right. So really it's
[35:16] just the interaction and how your legal counsel, I felt very confident and meeting
[35:21] with them that are legal counsel was going to be in agreement that these were not,
[35:24] you know, big changes. I think if you're in a situation where their wares, of the the
[35:32] findings we have seen have been more extensive and the local government has wanted to
[35:36] go back through the public hearing process instead of proceeding to adoption. But
[35:41] based on this piece, >> I think we all had we do not. I think we all have do
[35:47] all have a comfort level that it is completely within the guidelines about process.
[35:52] Great. We are at 9.15, a K a concludes my Non-agenda. Thank.
[36:00] >> Not a Gen and they that and that will conclude our executive council meeting
[36:04] between doctors before you conclude it, if I could ask just to have a couple minutes,
[36:08] the end of the regular meeting just want to ask for some professional advice you. Sure.
[36:11] Thank you, You got it. Thank you, Thank you. Thank you, everybody.

[46:39] Broward County, through the joint cooperation and participation of local
[46:42] governments, public officials and private citizens. And now the monthly meeting of the

[55:16] >> So keep in mind that the amount of money that was being collected from these these
[55:19] transit fees, again, separate from the 2 North West District in Southwest District was a
[55:26] relatively small amount compared to the overall budget. And so one of the
[55:29] things we did when we looked at this to try to understand what the fiscal impact would
[55:32] be as we had a conversation with them at the prima folks because they have a lot of
[55:36] this type of planning already built into their system. So the anticipation is through
[55:41] these other funding sources, we would still be able to pursue those types of
[55:47] amenities. So so we in cities when we need Bush shelters won't be told.
[55:53] >> There isn't money for the Bush shelters because of because of the impact fees.
[55:55] One way we won't be told that. >> With a again, it would be I can't tell you the very nature
[56:02] of what transit might say, too, will come part of that capital improvement planning
[56:08] program. So if it's identified that this is what you want to do and you work this out,
[56:12] transit and they've come up the cost share agreement have, however, that may be, then
[56:16] that would get programmed into the CIA in the Cip. Thank you. My pleasure.
[56:24] >> I don't know if you this question. But along those lines for those cities who've
[56:26] been waiting for their bus shelters for. Numerous of them, are we going to be now
[56:35] told that we're not getting them? >> Well, again, I have to go
[56:40] back and have that conversation with transit. But my understanding is the way
[56:44] that they operate as they enter into the agreement with the city. And then it just
[56:46] becomes part of the capital improvement planning program. So, you know, I don't know
[56:51] where transit stands or the capital Improvement program stands with any one of cities
[56:56] that are represented here today. But I understand that that's how they generally
[57:05] >> just quickly on that, because I just had a conversation role Thank you
[57:07] about this yesterday. And I'm being told that those bus shelters that that's the
[57:13] county is constructing can be up to $100,000. They can be pricey, right? So defense
[57:19] we've been same thing so I think America's steals point is where is the money going?
[57:23] Come from is an apt one. >> Dr Zaman. Thank you, chair. How much have we collected
[57:30] historically from these impact fees? Over an average last 10 doing? We were doing some
[57:39] around the 3 to 4 million dollar range on the transit impact fee and that was
[57:43] annually through thick that fund 30 or 40 shelters. I get it. It's you know, in the
[57:50] scope of Park County, in the amount of money, but it's not overwhelming amount of money.
[57:52] I want to. ComEd America's do, though, for being very clear on this 3 to 4 million dollars
[57:57] a year for transportation means we're going to have not that money to spend on this.
[58:01] The idea that city's capital improvement program make up this I think is specious. You
[58:06] know, we all have obligations and our capital improvement program, whether it's a school
[58:08] board or city for other And these funds were helping us. And we have generations
[58:15] actually for a century, incentivize people to drive cars, which are incredibly
[58:20] inefficient ways to move people around. And we have not ever found enough money to
[58:24] incentivize people to do mass transit our county. And you know, until we get autonomous
[58:29] cars, which I hope it's sooner than later, you know, we're going to continue to do with
[58:34] these traffic issues with 3 or 4 million dollars goes away, I think is appropriate for the
[58:37] mayor to point out that that's not money that's made up anywhere else. So thank you.
[58:39] Thank you. To action. Further discussion. >> Display boards to reiterate
[58:47] this is this keep line with the the state. Ryan and we have no chairman of the
[58:54] fortunately, but it's good to bring for many. It's very it's very good to bring this all up
[58:56] for the record. I appreciate mayor leaving. >> I just want to offer that
[59:01] cities impose impact fees often for the same. You know, goal. Those are limited by
[59:06] state law as well. So sometimes it would have been a situation where they were
[59:10] duplicate that impact group. Look at nonetheless, we comply with state law on. We shall
[59:14] continue the mission. Any further discussion. Entertain a motion. Motion. The Mayor
[59:23] Gomez second for Mayor Levy. All those in favor, please signify by saying Aye. Any
[59:30] opposed. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you very much. I'm going to start this
[59:39] item. This is my Adam it's actually really easy for me to do this now because I take
[59:45] last year's letter and years before letter. And I kind of say, OK, how could put these
[59:51] all together and make it sound? It's changed the date on the top and because
[59:55] everything in the body of it stays the same. This the privilege of doing evaluation
[1:00:00] for our county attorney and our executive director and it really is a privilege. And the
[1:00:06] thing is I try to get it down to a page and a half as opposed to 5 or 6 because we
[1:00:09] can go on with this upper I know you've all had a chance to read this, but what I'm
[1:00:14] going to do for the record, I was going to re why we do it in the first paragraph that
[1:00:17] I'm going to read the conclusion that that's OK with you all. So we're going to
[1:00:21] start item are, too, is the value annual evaluation for Planning Council attorney
[1:00:26] pursuant to a letter of understanding dated August 31st. 1995 and reaffirm
[1:00:31] through subsequent planning Council election. The Broward County Planning Council
[1:00:37] conduct an annual review of its legal counsel as chair of the Broward County Planning
[1:00:42] Council. I prepared this memorandum to summarize Mister Andrew Morrow. Does his
[1:00:46] performance over the past year and to evaluate his continued service as Planning Council
[1:00:50] attorney. So now we're going to skip ahead to the conclusion, which is on the
[1:00:54] second page. Mr. Rose's performance during the past year continues to warrant the
[1:01:00] highest level of recognition. He has provided steady and effective legal counsel on
[1:01:06] significant policy and regulatory matters supported the council through complex
[1:01:11] proceedings and ensured that its work remains grounded in sound legal analysis and
[1:01:15] professional integrity. Although Mister Rose requirements for murder based
[1:01:22] compensation increase, his again declined an adjustment. His decision, reflections,
[1:01:25] longstanding commitment to the Planning Council and more than 3 decades of dedicated
[1:01:30] service. In light of his continued exemplary service. I recommend that this evaluation
[1:01:37] be entered into the official record and that the Planning Council reaffirmed its
[1:01:43] confidence Mr. Road has continued services planning Council attorney.

[1:04:45] Now to the evaluation of our executive director, which is item, are
[1:04:53] >> well, I'm sure you've all read this story. So I am just for the record going to read
[1:04:55] why we do it. And then I'm going read the conclusion. Pursuant to the letter of
[1:05:01] Understanding dated 5/24/2012, the Broward County Planning Council conduct an annual
[1:05:04] review of the executive director. As chair the Broward County Planning Council. I

[1:05:32] operation and ensured the Planning Council remains responsive to the needs of its
[1:05:38] members. Local governments, county staff and the public. Although MS Blake boy
[1:05:45] continues to meet the criteria for a merit based increase. She has not requested a salary
[1:05:49] increase. This boy does remain eligible for any future. Performance-based increases
[1:05:53] authorized by the county Commission. And later for continued exemplary service. I
[1:06:00] recommended this evaluation be entered into the official record. Her professionalism,
[1:06:06] integrity and effectiveness continue to serve the Broward County Planning Council. Thank
[1:06:11] you, Miss Blake boy for all that you do and thank you for having a great staff too.

[1:07:34] make. And you may look great. And so thank you to them, especially.
[1:07:43] >> Item or 4 counsel's report. Thank you all. Thank you. This Playboy executive director.
[1:07:57] >> Thank you. Thanks and thanks again for the for the evaluation appreciate it. So.
[1:08:04] Item are for just a couple of housekeeping items related to meeting dates. The first thing
[1:08:11] would be the October meeting date I had emailed you because the county commission was
[1:08:15] going to take your October 22nd date. So we shift to you to October 29th. They did not,
[1:08:21] in fact, take that meeting date. So I know there's an mpo function on the 22nd. So if
[1:08:28] you want to, we can still we still have this room for October 29th at that. work so
[1:08:32] works for >> I would prefer if you could, without objection,
[1:08:36] anything. >> Okay. So we'll have the October day October. 29 over.
[1:08:45] 29. Okay. Perfect. Thank And the combined NOVA November December meeting December
[1:08:52] seems to be the leader and that I have 11 members respond. And I had 11 for
[1:08:56] December 3rd and 9 for December 10th. >> so we can put that on the
[1:09:00] books for number 30 >> Okay. Great. Thank you. >> Then the the 3rd item is
[1:09:07] related to our next update. And we did include in your car or in your backup materials
[1:09:13] under the executive directors report the letter from Florida Commerce, the county
[1:09:18] Commission, you may recall transmitted the Broward next amendments to the state in
[1:09:24] June. And we did receive a finding of and void per Senate Bill. 180, the incentive-based
[1:09:31] amendments that were transmitted were found to be are strict of a burdensome on
[1:09:35] 2 pieces of them took us several weeks. We're able to have a call with Florida
[1:09:41] Commerce and we have found a path forward that we were able to proceed to adoption with
[1:09:46] the county commission if they so desire. And I would just say that, you know, if your
[1:09:54] local government receives a finding of non void the way to I think the path forward is to
[1:09:59] consult with your legal counsel, meet with Florida Commerce to see if you're able
[1:10:03] to resolve their concerns, which we were able to very easily do. And so we will be
[1:10:11] proceeding with the packet for adoption. But I just wanted to alert you to 2 minor changes
[1:10:17] that will be made to the adoption package. Thank you, too. Yes, so that that's all.
[1:10:24] So that concludes the executive director's report. We have 2 public hearing items
[1:10:29] on the agenda Recertification, 2 sites in the city of Tamarac and then item 2 is in the city
[1:10:36] of Coral Springs. The both cities have waived their quasi judicial proceedings that we
[1:10:42] have no one signed in to speak other than applicant agents or local governments.
[1:10:48] >> Mr. Chairman, I'd like to move items pH one and 2 together. We have a motion for
[1:10:54] Americans to moving Page one page, 2 of the second from school board members any
[1:10:57] further discussion on item. Hearing none. All those in favor. Please signify by
[1:11:03] saying Aye. >> I I. Any opposed. Motion passes unanimously
[1:11:13] outstanding. before we adjourn to members wanted to say a few things. So I'm gonna first
[1:11:17] turn the floor over to Mayor Gomez and then 2 school board members Thank you very much.
[1:11:21] >> It is half as time. So October 10 is my for the I say the word taught was so is it's
[1:11:32] it's basically during. >> B***** cancer Awareness Month. In last time you

[1:11:40] member of weekend. >> It been an issue, but yes and actually cause men have
[1:11:47] does too. So it's basically for awareness what you do. Men get b***** cancer. That's why
[1:11:50] a ribbon that shows it and >> you can't be about about a body parts. We have to take
[1:11:55] care of them. That's why here and we're live puppets. Good. Hey. You know what? If you
[1:11:59] weren't married at auction, you off. that's what I might be doing Not enough. This
[1:12:05] year. campaign years for people want to embarrass him too badly. And it's letting
[1:12:11] everybody know if you're available. Please come out. And if I can have and
[1:12:15] executive director sent out an email with the information on the event. It's a fun event.
[1:12:19] It's best to come in the Aedes and then you just left the night away and you raise money
[1:12:25] for time. I can play Neverland Fun Gilda's Club and American Cancer. So wonderful. Thank
[1:12:28] Thank you. I see Perfect. Thank If school board members my chair, I.
[1:12:42] >> searching for some ideas. We're in the middle at the school board of looking hard
[1:12:45] at how many schools we can afford to keep open in Broward County. And we have an
[1:12:52] exhaustive list of parents and volunteers and staff and even some senior students to talk
[1:12:55] to about that. We're having kind of a series of 47 community meetings on that.
[1:13:02] What I'm struggling with as a school board member. But someone cares deeply about
[1:13:05] that. All of our county. Is all the other people that would either benefit or not
[1:13:12] benefit from schools closing. We do a very good job in our community meetings of getting
[1:13:16] out to people who are directly involved in schools public education. But we're going to
[1:13:21] do some things that would allow for parks to be developed in certain cities.
[1:13:25] We're gonna do some things that transit sites could be developed for doing something
[1:13:29] in Pompano. That's exciting, which is we closed an old-school Dave Thomas. That
[1:13:33] had been open for years and we converted it into workforce housing for Broward County
[1:13:38] employees. Actual. And so that is something we're working h*** o*. One of the proposals
[1:13:44] before the school board would free up 14,000 units in Broward County for Affordable
[1:13:47] and Workforce housing. The problem is I I never hear from anybody. That's an advocate
[1:13:52] for housing supply. I never hear for anybody who's an advocate for more parks. I
[1:13:58] don't hear from people who want, you know, transit centers to be developed or or
[1:14:03] just good commercial development to happen, where it makes sense where we
[1:14:05] currently have property. So I love now or separately. If you want to call or email me to
[1:14:12] get ideas about how to get more people to get involved in this. It's coming to our town
[1:14:16] hall meetings. That's that's an easy thing. But I just don't how to reach them all.
[1:14:20] And then second is to just open up that conversation so that the people who would
[1:14:25] benefit just give you an example. Our superintendent proposed closing 10 schools.
[1:14:29] The net effect of that will be on 1.3% of the population our county. That means 87 point.
[1:14:35] 89. 98.7 starts early. A Broward County who would benefit from a new park from
[1:14:41] affordable housing for them. You know, redevelopment of commercial space in a way that
[1:14:45] fit within the community. We always communicate with the with the city's. I think we do
[1:14:50] fairly good job. I think probably even do better than fairly good job. And if we
[1:14:53] don't, I'm happy as the county wide guy close those conversations. I'm really
[1:14:58] trying to figure out how to get that. 98.7% that would benefit or or somehow be
[1:15:04] affected by a close school or or surplus ing of the land where the largest landowner
[1:15:08] Brevard County. But I want to have a conversation with Broward County and I could do
[1:15:14] it through cities. I can reach out and asked you to, you know, announce these a
[1:15:17] community meetings. What I'm trying to figure out a way to have a bigger conversation
[1:15:21] with people. We do polls but our poll data is generally for people directly involved in
[1:15:29] schools, not for the whole community. So if you have any ideas, your now great. If you
[1:15:32] want reach out to me. I really appreciate I want I want the whole community to be involved
[1:15:37] in this. We're not going to sign until December. So we got a little bit of time, but
[1:15:42] appreciate I could, just if anyone has a thoughts now, you know what a what I my my
[1:15:46] initial thought is Dr. first of all, I applaud the effort. >> To try to get as much
[1:15:52] feedback as possible. So thank you for doing that. But if some ideas and kind of
[1:15:56] outlined just a very simple white paper, that's what you're doing at the school
[1:16:00] board level coming in December. And what type of feedback you want. I know
[1:16:04] between up here with all the municipality represent all individual organizations we
[1:16:11] represent. We can then talk about at high level. You know, I know that in Pompano Beach
[1:16:15] up, take that back immediately to my economic development council. It has parks and
[1:16:19] recreation under that has cultural affairs and has housing underneath it. So we I
[1:16:24] think between all of us, we have the ability to it to go out there and make substantial
[1:16:29] comments for you to use in the future. So start with the simple thing. What you are
[1:16:33] trying to do and we'll do our best to help you put in and they'll do that. I'll do that
[1:16:39] today. And to the extent one of the wonderful things we had this past year's Mardi Care
[1:16:43] walking around, you know, doing the actual facts, impact presentation again, not
[1:16:47] talking to vote for it or against it. >> But just kind of making
[1:16:50] Jerry Jones a where's going and I can do the same thing with any group.
[1:16:56] >> For 5 minutes, just so that they're aware of the impact that is since then the sites
[1:16:59] that we're looking That would be amazing. It's a big start with Exactly. Someone saying
[1:17:03] something a line. I'm sorry. >> I'm lives. I'm sorry, and then But yes, I think that's a
[1:17:15] great idea. We can all get involved I want to congratulate you on your wind.
[1:17:21] That is even I was very pleased. And also. Listen, love Mark this year. Very
[1:17:30] pleased for with 3 elections. And I just want to say, I'm sorry, I'm going off topic,
[1:17:35] but Andy and Barbara, excellent job. And Steph, amazing You do make it look
[1:17:41] very easy for us. Thank you. Thank you. come so much. >> I have as and that I have
[1:17:49] Mayor Gomez and their levy scream Bird. So we're gonna start with. America. Still, I
[1:17:55] do not know enough about. legal authority at the at District.
[1:18:04] >> To continue retaining. Property. For schools that they close. Allen. That allows
[1:18:17] Partnerships of any kind, for example, parks or affordable housing, potentially both. Of.
[1:18:29] The district can continue to own those properties. >> And then
[1:18:34] >> create ground leases >> that >> still affordably allow
[1:18:43] those uses to be in place. It potentially >> only loses the benefit of
[1:18:54] of of one-time sale, which would be, you know, one time dollars, let's say, to fix up
[1:19:00] the balance of your schools are to make some other capital investment or whatever. Let's
[1:19:06] say, you've got you're going to call close and you own it outright, know, leasing it or
[1:19:09] anything else. And you decide that you want to partner with city, be to put housing tower
[1:19:20] there, which will benefit not just district employees, but community members from that
[1:19:27] city. And I say from that city because that's happens to be my preference in terms of
[1:19:31] killing NIMBYism, which is irrational affordable housing. When you tell people that, you
[1:19:43] know, your city is partnering to house their own. they begin to soften a little bit more.
[1:19:46] And I think that every city that does that and the more cities that do that, the less.
[1:19:55] Formidable, this thing becomes. But let's say, let's say that you're able to do
[1:19:59] that in some sort of long term way. I don't know what the district's legal position is
[1:20:04] to do that. I would hope that you'd be able to do that. So if you're able to do that, I
[1:20:12] would explore the on a case-by-case basis with each city. Parks is an expense.
[1:20:20] It's it brings you quality of life. Life to your to residents. But quality life
[1:20:25] right now is >> so I say >> not core. Not core.
[1:20:38] >> To the mood of the day it is expensive. And but housing is an asset. And so I I would
[1:20:51] I would definitely a look at the of those possibilities. I don't know whether you have
[1:20:59] looked at in buildings that you currently own and operate. >> The the business model for
[1:21:02] continuing education. I I think I think that there is a lot of continuing education.
[1:21:13] Even for graduates that they're willing to pay for. And I don't know whether post
[1:21:26] secondary education. Involving some level of tuition is. Is something years. Your school
[1:21:36] district I I don't know the legal, the legality of that. But there were in desperate
[1:21:42] need of of trade services from post-secondary graduates. So yesterday, Mayor I I spent the
[1:21:49] day with the secretary of >> administrator for Small Business administration from
[1:21:59] District Loeffler and the acting Secretary of Commerce, Keith Sutherland, whose have
[1:22:03] turns out to be from Palm Beach County. They both came down and they've wanted to
[1:22:07] visit our technical colleges. We in Broward County, some you should be proud of. I'm not.
[1:22:10] I'm not trying to gloat. We run the 3 best technical just in the state in the world. We
[1:22:17] have people from your. We have people from Wyoming and California. They come to see
[1:22:20] shared in Atlantic better. We're expanding that capability now because it's
[1:22:24] not just stuck on those 3 properties were doing it in our traditional schools as
[1:22:27] well. So we're wide open about people going to work right after school and kids to come
[1:22:33] and pay tuition. And there's a Pell Grant now to cover the first $1700 and everybody to
[1:22:37] go back to get certified in theirs. lot. A lot of good work on Mayor land to maybe to
[1:22:45] your benefit to to bring on a consultant to. >> To look at the repurposing
[1:22:52] of your properties, thank you. I I think it's important. Before we get appreciate your
[1:22:57] comments. I think this is a time for ideation. This is the time to kind of put everything
[1:23:04] out there, not figure out whether it's legal not legal. Anything else at this point.
[1:23:07] Let's not worry. Let's figure out how to do it. a good thing to do. Let's do it. So I would
[1:23:11] say between now and December, let's just get as much on paper as possible and then
[1:23:13] kind of evaluate in a ranked or what's the most important, you know, going down. But we
[1:23:19] can do. But I think there's there's nothing that's off the table, in my opinion for your
[1:23:23] asking flights to best chair. Exactly 4. They're Gomez, thank America's They're going
[1:23:28] I will reach out to the realtors. And have them help you out some point they're
[1:23:33] going to be the ones bringing people to live. Work or play in the area. If they're
[1:23:38] renting out space for things like that. Very good point. So >> Well, this is a county wide
[1:23:48] effort. Every school, every school site sits on a commercial roadway is a little
[1:23:54] bit of a has cultural local impact, whether it's to the families that attend the
[1:23:57] school or, you know what would fit within the context of, for example, Sink Valley
[1:24:01] neighborhood. So while it is good to, of course, and I agree completely about the
[1:24:04] ideation on a global level there are going to be cite specific issues that, you
[1:24:09] know, help steer. You know, what would be the repurposing of this particular Just
[1:24:15] pathetic Lee. But my question was really, just if you explain to us to what extent
[1:24:20] from what we see in the media do the schools of hope have first right of refusal for any
[1:24:28] How does that fit into the closure of 10 potentially? again, just read newspaper
[1:24:33] articles here and there, but maybe you can tell us about that. schools of hope have the
[1:24:36] opportunity. >> In areas where there is low academic performance and low
[1:24:43] opportunity to take up space is available at all. Public schools. It's a very positive
[1:24:47] model in many regards places like KIPP, which is a school for hope come The hardest hit
[1:24:54] areas, areas that need the greatest help. They've shown that they bring a model it for
[1:25:00] the same amount of money can lift a more folks up and do a tremendous job. We have one of
[1:25:05] them. So Kate just opened this year and there and, you know, we're optimistic about that.
[1:25:15] There there are some sites for which that is legally permitted. And there's a lot
[1:25:18] of sites where it's not so in Brevard County right now. 84 1% of our schools be schools.
[1:25:25] So we're doing pretty well terms academic performance. lifted up of it. Might first 4
[1:25:29] years, an average of a great and a half in school performance. It's really a
[1:25:34] remarkable year. Rising tide does lift all ships. also increased teacher pay
[1:25:38] America's deal by $13,000 following the Pembroke Pines model in their charter schools
[1:25:42] where they've set a very high standard for compensating there. They're teachers so
[1:25:47] compliments to fines for that. What they've done with their charter school teachers. And
[1:25:49] we're trying to follow follow suit. But schools of hope to have the authority to move in
[1:25:54] in those specific schools. It's not something that is economically feasible in a lot
[1:26:01] of places, even even on top of that. So Kip has to make sure that they can break in order
[1:26:05] to do it and they have to fit into socioeconomic factors in order fit in because we're 84%
[1:26:11] a and B, it's not a lot in Broward County. There's other school districts go in. And by
[1:26:16] the way, this decline in enrollment mayor that have read about this year, we lost
[1:26:21] 12,000 students in one year 20,000 students last 2 years, equivalent of 40 elementary
[1:26:26] schools worth of kids we lost in 2 years. It's in every urban district United States.
[1:26:33] So it's not Broward schools as failing. It's like there's just not as many kids having
[1:26:38] kids later and there might be a little bit immigration. There's definitely an
[1:26:42] affordability crisis, which is why this idea of of leases that turn into affordable or
[1:26:48] workforce housing. It's so appealing because we think folks that have moved up to
[1:26:53] Melbourne or to Fort Myers where it's so much cheaper live may consider coming back.
[1:26:58] And that, you know, we're we're we're trying to contribute to the housing
[1:27:01] stock issue at the same time, we're running a school district and that's why what
[1:27:04] that conversation to be bigger. And wanted to just be about completely jury. These
[1:27:09] 26 students in middle school, you know, having to go to another middle school because
[1:27:11] I will argue that they're going to go to a better middle school full schools are better
[1:27:16] schools. A Madras aboard. But I also know that that to the chair's point, the highest and
[1:27:22] best use of each individual parcel is what we ought to be working with. The city's on to
[1:27:27] make sure that that's what the eventual uses. And then we'll figure out a way to get
[1:27:29] exactly. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Mayor Lee. >> Hello, as you know, I have
[1:27:40] 2 children that one is graduated from Broward County, Public Schools and other is
[1:27:42] senior. I have been raising my children here in Broward County enacted a lot with her
[1:27:51] public schools and the question I have for you is what is the county doing to
[1:27:57] recruit? Students to come back to Broward County schools going back to peep 2 parents
[1:28:06] that may have an enrolled put there kidney charter school. Having Kinder kindergarten
[1:28:11] roundups, partnering with our cities advertising our excellent schools. The major
[1:28:18] winds that they've had, whether it's their a grade, the Broward County schools
[1:28:22] being lifted up to an a rated school district. These are awesome accomplishments and we
[1:28:26] should be screaming them from the rooftops. But we're not at least I'm not seeing that.
[1:28:34] Early-childhood education and day care is a major gap that parents need help with. Talk
[1:28:41] to former Senator Nan Rich County commissioner. She has a lot of ideas around that and
[1:28:45] he's a wonderful help with early childhood education it's expensive. It's I mean, I
[1:28:53] remember when I have my kids in school and you have young minds, you know, it's
[1:28:58] expensive. Parents oftentimes don't work because it's cheaper to stay home with the
[1:29:02] child instead of paying for daycare. And that affects the whole budget. So another
[1:29:10] question was how has immigration changes that we're having right now in our
[1:29:15] country affected our enrollment overall. >> Carol, to summarize,
[1:29:24] because I feel like a hijacked as meaning a little bit, but it's really important, I
[1:29:27] think, to our to our communities. Appreciate your time and amazing ideas. We
[1:29:32] have a close one school 2 years ago that we turn into early childhood education
[1:29:35] center is very successful. Doubtfire states. We are looking at every available
[1:29:39] classroom because now we have 60,000 unused school seats for any site that has daycare
[1:29:48] deserts were used to park deserts. Now we're looking for day care deserts where it's
[1:29:52] tremendously expensive. There's just not enough seats. So that's a great problem to
[1:29:57] have. But daycare centers actually have capacity and a lot of places now because
[1:30:00] there's so few kids being born that they're they're struggling to attract people
[1:30:05] are our communications number one communications is just the quality of our school. Every
[1:30:10] realtor on listing. You know, you go and you look about the 3rd line, it says, hey, you
[1:30:13] would go to these schools and they're rated AAA I'm I'm actually in very preliminary
[1:30:20] conversations with the development around gallery. Gallery is going to 4,000 new
[1:30:25] housing developments on it. 1300 of them will be affordable or workforce
[1:30:29] housing across the street. We have one of the best elementary schools in the
[1:30:31] state. And so if we can work with the city to expand the Cup, Cassidy of that site, we
[1:30:38] would be attracting people to Broward County to live where they're allowed to do the
[1:30:41] development. According live local laws and they walk across the street to one of
[1:30:45] the best elementary schools, middle schools, high school tracks. It states the high
[1:30:48] school that would feed is the 24th best high school to 25,000 high schools. United
[1:30:53] States. So we have some very successful schools the best way we communicate do well.
[1:31:00] And when we do well, everybody talks about EIGHTY-FOUR percent a and B average
[1:31:05] average high school scholarship flow this year. Chair average is gonna blow
[1:31:09] your mind. $50,000. That's incredible. And we just we can screen and we can yellow
[1:31:15] again. The media is not going to help us because it's all good news right now public
[1:31:19] says anything about the 99 dogs ago. Runaway right. And when we do well, it's it's the
[1:31:24] best way to communicate. I know it's low, but it really works week. We're really
[1:31:29] focused on doing well and making sure that the parents, the teachers and the
[1:31:33] volunteers and community to hear about these things to stop talking about private
[1:31:37] schools like, you they're okay. Yeah, because we're not okay. They're great. They're
[1:31:45] very, very good $1000 per high school graduate chair. >> As a good number, that's an
[1:31:51] incredible number. And I do agree with green for the mountain top because it's a
[1:31:54] big number put a bow on this. We're going to we're going to wait for your little white
[1:32:03] paper coming out, what you're actually looking for and we are going to spread the word
[1:32:05] for you. >> Okay. Thank you. Any other discussion, business new
[1:32:10] business that we missed. The only thing we want to talk about is our next meeting. MS
