1
00:00:01,380 --> 00:00:02,840
Vice Mayor Butler.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,000
I'm here.

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,300
I'm Mr. LaZero.

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:10,700
Mr. LaZero.

5
00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:11,840
I'm Mr. Lima-Tob.

6
00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:15,120
City manager, Dr. Earl.

7
00:00:16,460 --> 00:00:17,640
Attorney Marino.

8
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:20,020
President, Madam Mayor, you have a call.

9
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,300
Thank you so much, Madam Clerk.

10
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:27,000
Before we rise for the pledge of allegiance, I'd like to conduct a moment of silent prayer.

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:34,440
For those that have been suffering with COVID and have lost loved ones, a special care goes

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:40,840
out to them, as well as all our first responders, our staff and all our frontline workers

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,900
that have been working through COVID.

14
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:50,400
It's hard to believe it's been a year, but we still have a while to go.

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,780
So, remember to take care of one another and during these struggling times in our country,

16
00:00:55,780 --> 00:01:03,060
We need to remain compassionate and peaceful to our fellow brothers and sisters.

17
00:01:03,740 --> 00:01:05,600
A moment of silence, prayer, please.

18
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:26,260
Thank you.

19
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,240
Vice Mayor, would you like to start us off in the pledge, please?

20
00:01:31,660 --> 00:01:31,780
Sure.

21
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:37,200
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

22
00:01:37,860 --> 00:01:42,780
And to the Republic, which has changed one nation under God.

23
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:44,260
in the visible,

24
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:47,320
with liberty and justice for all.

25
00:01:48,660 --> 00:01:51,820
Hey, order of business.

26
00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:56,400
I do have one or two requests this evening.

27
00:01:57,860 --> 00:02:00,820
My resolution, which will hopefully

28
00:02:00,820 --> 00:02:03,000
become our resolution and regards

29
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,500
to solicit and mushrooms and decriminalization.

30
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,860
I'd like to move that up after the presentations

31
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:16,340
and regular public participation, would anybody have an objection to so doing?

32
00:02:19,580 --> 00:02:29,640
Now, and I know there was also interest in the letter that's being sponsored by Commissioner Lazaro.

33
00:02:29,740 --> 00:02:37,100
I like to also move that up in the agenda right after this other resolution.

34
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:44,840
Actually, I would ask that we not do that only because I have people that are scheduled to speak and they're not available until later

35
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,240
Okay, thanks

36
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,860
All right, I'm gonna move that I eat them up

37
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,420
Do I have a second?

38
00:02:56,740 --> 00:03:02,020
That's right, I'm sorry could I throw a call through this and I would say them this is a sub and I don't know this so I

39
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,380
Item 8c yeah

40
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,540
I'm sorry, who made the motion?

41
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:08,260
I did.

42
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:08,840
I did.

43
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,100
In the second.

44
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:11,000
Annabelle.

45
00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:12,480
Thank you, madam.

46
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:13,680
Thank you.

47
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:14,560
Commissioner.

48
00:03:14,780 --> 00:03:15,100
Have you yet?

49
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:16,880
Yes.

50
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,040
Commissioner.

51
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:20,620
Have you yet?

52
00:03:21,260 --> 00:03:21,580
Yes.

53
00:03:22,460 --> 00:03:23,040
Thank you.

54
00:03:23,060 --> 00:03:23,360
Commissioner.

55
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Let's have.

56
00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:24,620
Yeah.

57
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:25,540
Vancouver.

58
00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:26,520
Yes.

59
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:27,720
Vice Mayor Butler.

60
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,860
Commissioner Lazarum.

61
00:03:30,860 --> 00:03:31,180
Well, thank you.

62
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,700
Thank you so much.

63
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:46,700
Okay public participation. I believe we have a speaker this evening. On your behalf city clerk Jim Bushman will be announcing the speaker that's joined us this evening.

64
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:49,040
Thank you Madam Mayor Mr. Bushman.

65
00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:52,580
Madam clerk this speaker this evening is Marcos Payne.

66
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:54,900
Thank you.

67
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:05,580
Good evening.

68
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,240
My name is Mr. Payne. I'm a hall and they'll be president.

69
00:04:11,780 --> 00:04:14,040
Well, I wanted to talk to you this evening briefly.

70
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:17,460
I want to take up much of your time, mostly it's just about the environment.

71
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,900
I see you have a resolution coming up later.

72
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,400
Whereas you're going to authorize certain agencies, the county state,

73
00:04:26,780 --> 00:04:29,840
Army Corps of Engineers, to move forward with beef replenishment

74
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:34,700
without doing the studies on the coral reefs,

75
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,660
to make sure that it's appropriate to do so.

76
00:04:37,660 --> 00:04:54,200
I would ask that you think about that give it a second thought, and that you actually, when we first went to do beach replenishment here in Florida, it was always under the condition that we would do the appropriate environmental impact studies.

77
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,820
I understand that it could be a financial issue. However, I think the environment's a little bit...

78
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:07,340
No more important. And I would like to see that we do the proper environmental studies to make sure

79
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:16,160
that the quarries are negatively affected. Currently our quarries are under a lot of stress. We've

80
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:23,440
been doing a lot of meetings, mostly virtual, like it's been going on. But I think we've all

81
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:29,480
come to the same conclusion that the quarries really can't take any more stress.

82
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,900
So again, I'm just asking that before you authorize a resolution that allows people to move

83
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:42,100
forward and encourage that without the appropriate studies that you give it a second thought

84
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:43,560
and rewrite that.

85
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:47,900
I'd actually like to see a rewritten where we go like we did in the old days, and that's

86
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:53,420
not too long ago, and I actually re-write it to say that we won't do any beach replacement

87
00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:57,260
management without doing the appropriate environmental studies to make sure that the

88
00:05:57,260 --> 00:06:04,580
coral reefs are not negatively affected. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Hannah. Thank you for

89
00:06:04,580 --> 00:06:08,900
taking the time out during COVID to come out and greet us with your and share your

90
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:15,660
concerns. I would like to at least comment, I think this is going to be the fourth

91
00:06:15,660 --> 00:06:43,520
beat tree nourishment programs that I've gone through as it liked that officially, and I know there's concerns, I know in the past they did the studies, I know about coral reefs actually one of my daughter's friends actually has been doing the studies for years and actually working with FIU and Miami to address growth and monitoring.

92
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:51,220
I want my looking and making sure that we include that monitoring is done.

93
00:06:51,460 --> 00:06:53,720
I know they've done that before in the past.

94
00:06:54,060 --> 00:07:00,500
They've had diving teams go out, but I certainly don't want to delay this project or

95
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:01,820
delay the resolutions.

96
00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:08,440
So I share your concerns, but as in the past we've continued to do it.

97
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:18,960
I think contributing to the actual global warming and the sea level, temperature rise has also

98
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:28,760
led to its hand to impacts of the coral reefs so thank you and I don't know if anybody else's hand

99
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,780
It is up to make any comment.

100
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,120
My name is I am.

101
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:34,480
Oh, hi.

102
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,540
OK, I committed to having Anna.

103
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,160
Thank you.

104
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,460
Yes, just really briefly.

105
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,200
I believe Mr. Pena's is talking about item 12c later

106
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,160
on the agenda of the state legislative package.

107
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,200
And so it's on item where we are asking the, well,

108
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,960
it's not something that we're authorizing.

109
00:07:51,420 --> 00:07:53,620
It's just the legislation and things

110
00:07:53,620 --> 00:07:55,220
that we want to lobbyists to work on.

111
00:07:55,740 --> 00:07:58,500
And he's talking about under page two title

112
00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:05,100
energy environment and natural resources where we would support hard-borrowed monitoring and mitigation

113
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:10,840
and related to beef treatment. So hard-borrowed is coral and we need to protect our coral reefs at

114
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,340
all costs. We passed a lot of legislation on this in the last couple years and that was actually

115
00:08:16,340 --> 00:08:21,080
an amendment I was going to recommend later on at the meeting that we remove this portion.

116
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:27,620
Just because this portion is solely included because of the cost savings that they believe

117
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,840
goes along with the the county saving money on beach reinforcement rather than a long-term

118
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:39,040
sustainability of our of our coasts. So I mean we can discuss it later on when we get to this

119
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:44,260
item to 12C but that was just an amendment I was going to make to the legislative package.

120
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:55,440
Okay thank you. Okay thank you Mr. Panna. Okay we are going to move on to where is my resolution under

121
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,740
Okay,

122
00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:16,510
item 18C or resolution of the City Commission of the City of Halendale Beach Florida,

123
00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:23,270
supporting Florida House bill for 549 authorizing and regulating the medical use of

124
00:09:23,270 --> 00:09:28,510
psilocybin as an effective and safe treatment for mental health conditions and providing

125
00:09:28,510 --> 00:09:35,770
for an effective date. As you know, Dustin Robinson, Attorney Dustin Robinson, I should say, had

126
00:09:35,770 --> 00:09:42,790
approached us months ago on this issue. And certainly, I think we are all little bit surprised,

127
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:50,770
but I know the way our society is looking to talk, you know, really treating patients and people with

128
00:09:50,770 --> 00:09:59,950
TST and other psychological disabilities with old new cutting edge techniques.

129
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:11,880
All of the technology and medications that actually come from the earth. So I myself, over the past years, have evolved to understand that mother nature provided us with a lot of good things.

130
00:10:12,420 --> 00:10:23,520
And I certainly encourage our commission to support this resolution. I know it's up in Tallahassee. And I believe we do have a speaker signed up on this item.

131
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,620
Correct.

132
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:44,220
Met a mayor. I want to get a I want to receive e-commerce for it. Okay. All right. Well, I know that he is doing his thing, whether it's local or in in Tallahassee. So I'm going to move, remove myself from the chair.

133
00:10:44,980 --> 00:10:51,600
Commission of Vice Mayor, you're in control now, but I would like to move the adoption

134
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,800
of this resolution.

135
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:54,460
Second.

136
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:55,760
Second.

137
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,020
Second.

138
00:10:57,260 --> 00:10:57,720
Okay.

139
00:10:58,660 --> 00:11:00,340
Any other hands for it?

140
00:11:02,830 --> 00:11:02,990
Nope.

141
00:11:03,490 --> 00:11:03,810
Okay.

142
00:11:04,270 --> 00:11:05,690
Could I have a roll call?

143
00:11:07,210 --> 00:11:08,050
Five-layer, but there.

144
00:11:09,850 --> 00:11:11,070
Oh, I think your mic's off, kiddo.

145
00:11:11,650 --> 00:11:12,010
Yes.

146
00:11:12,450 --> 00:11:13,190
Thank you.

147
00:11:13,490 --> 00:11:14,250
Commissioner Lazarum.

148
00:11:14,830 --> 00:11:14,970
Yes.

149
00:11:14,970 --> 00:11:26,530
Mary Cooper. Yeah. I'm sure have you got her. Yes. Thank you. So, Michelle have you got her? Yes. I don't know. I haven't heard of you at all. Yes.

150
00:11:28,010 --> 00:11:35,410
More big Harris by zero. Thank you so much. And, um, do we have in queue, Dr. Neil Furman?

151
00:11:39,860 --> 00:11:41,960
Yes. Madam Mayor, bring him up now.

152
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:42,780
All right,

153
00:11:46,060 --> 00:11:50,020
I did have some sitting here,

154
00:11:54,390 --> 00:11:56,210
hold on just one minute,

155
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:00,960
I'm going to

156
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:06,140
hand it to me, there is my gear left up, I think I'd be a blue folder, bring my gear

157
00:12:06,140 --> 00:12:14,400
left up, that's a proclamation, where to go? Oh boy, you know what, I'm going to turn

158
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,880
it over you for the introduction, and while you look for it, I sure has a copy of it,

159
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,960
There is a sign copy of it here.

160
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:30,280
So there is, but this was sponsored by Commissioner Taub and as a point of the chair, I'll give a privilege to let her make the introduction.

161
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,020
Thank you.

162
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,440
Thank you, Mayor.

163
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,240
Thank you, Mayor.

164
00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:38,800
I don't feed Dr. Ferman, but hopefully you don't.

165
00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:48,260
I just wanted to give you a recognition by half of all the commissioners and the mayor.

166
00:12:48,260 --> 00:12:54,960
for your work specifically with Helen Dell Residence, related to COVID, because of

167
00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:02,960
hip-hop, I can't disclose who the residents are, but you have gone above and beyond to

168
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:14,100
help more than a handful of residents that were sick with COVID, a couple of them that

169
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:23,440
and really critical condition, your bedside manner is incredible, you have been an advocate

170
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:35,860
for them, and I don't know that they would be around and back to almost full mobilization

171
00:13:35,860 --> 00:13:40,400
and quality of life if it wasn't for your care.

172
00:13:40,860 --> 00:13:46,280
It was pretty to your care, and how wonderful you've been

173
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,680
with them and their families, so be happy with myself.

174
00:13:51,460 --> 00:13:54,260
May are you, may are we, would you like to say if you think?

175
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:55,940
Where are you?

176
00:13:55,940 --> 00:13:57,860
Well, you need to read the name.

177
00:13:58,180 --> 00:14:00,300
Good evening, again, Dr. Furman.

178
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,760
The certificate is presented to you

179
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:13,840
an appreciation of your efforts and dedication. I'm sorry. What? Not having good technology today. Why is this?

180
00:14:15,340 --> 00:14:21,960
Go in and do a close up, I think. You know, wonderful. There you go. Now I can't see it. But

181
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:28,880
for all your work and dedication to the efforts that encourage you, senior patients during COVID-19

182
00:14:31,820 --> 00:14:37,340
pandemic. It's unbelievable the unprecedented nature of this pandemic and how

183
00:14:37,340 --> 00:14:43,300
and city as it is. I know I speak with for many people listening that have

184
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:50,480
seen the ravages and have been impacted and have been ill. And this is

185
00:14:50,480 --> 00:15:00,000
It is nothing to joke about, everyone should understand, to continue, to help you, help.

186
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:11,460
We'll have a patient and help one another to wear masks and follow the rules. We are still in this fight. We're probably looking at still going into hopefully July.

187
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:25,720
We are the we majority of people can get the vaccine, but I want to turn it over to you to say a few words. And again, commend you and all the staff of our hospitals and I see you.

188
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,720
Thank you.

189
00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:29,000
Well, thank you, Mayor Cooper.

190
00:15:29,260 --> 00:15:29,900
Thank you, Commissioner.

191
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,220
The Mattel and all the other commissioners for this great honor.

192
00:15:34,660 --> 00:15:39,820
I want to thank all my colleagues, especially the nurses, the tests of how medics and all

193
00:15:39,820 --> 00:15:43,940
those are the frontline workers who deserve recognition as well.

194
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,800
I'm hopefully with the new vaccines and new treatments.

195
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:53,700
We can continue to see a decrease in the number of chances and quickly get back to a normal way of life.

196
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:54,700
Thank you.

197
00:15:57,140 --> 00:15:57,200
Thank you.

198
00:15:58,740 --> 00:15:59,780
Thank you.

199
00:15:59,780 --> 00:16:00,660
Dr. Farman.

200
00:16:01,740 --> 00:16:04,960
Hopefully we'll be able to meet in person in a couple of shows.

201
00:16:05,540 --> 00:16:05,960
Thank you.

202
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:06,460
Thank you.

203
00:16:07,540 --> 00:16:07,980
Thank you.

204
00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:08,960
Thank you.

205
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:09,680
Dr. Farman.

206
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:10,260
Thank you.

207
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,160
On behalf of the city and the residents and your patients.

208
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,000
God bless you.

209
00:16:17,220 --> 00:16:18,020
Thank you again.

210
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:18,600
Thank you.

211
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:19,540
Thanks.

212
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,660
Next I don't have a pity of me.

213
00:16:22,660 --> 00:16:25,080
And the next item is item seven.

214
00:16:25,620 --> 00:16:27,620
It's a approval of draft minutes.

215
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,240
I'm not going to read the whole list,

216
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,880
but there's a page of them a couple of months.

217
00:16:34,420 --> 00:16:35,580
Could I have a motion?

218
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,920
You have a motion here.

219
00:16:38,060 --> 00:16:38,600
What do I have?

220
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:39,560
I have a second.

221
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,360
Could I have a roll call, please?

222
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:42,640
Which, do you have Yena?

223
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:43,900
Yes.

224
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:45,600
Which, really, my top?

225
00:16:46,780 --> 00:16:47,220
May I open?

226
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:48,240
Yes.

227
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:49,200
Which, for a laser?

228
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:50,080
Yes.

229
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:52,640
Yes.

230
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:55,820
Okay.

231
00:16:56,340 --> 00:16:57,260
Are you done?

232
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,360
Eight.

233
00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:00,260
Consent agenda?

234
00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:04,140
I'd like to pull A if I may.

235
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:05,300
Pull A.

236
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,080
And I'll make a motion to approve the rule.

237
00:17:11,020 --> 00:17:13,040
I'm going to let somebody else wants to pull something.

238
00:17:13,420 --> 00:17:16,420
I'm going to pull A if I may.

239
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:17,660
What else?

240
00:17:17,660 --> 00:17:19,760
I'm putting forward a house where we did that already,

241
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,260
I'm on the budget performance.

242
00:17:22,820 --> 00:17:25,720
You can just unread you in my notes from earlier today.

243
00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:28,100
Thank you, everything is good.

244
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:29,540
Yep.

245
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:31,620
Thank you.

246
00:17:32,140 --> 00:17:32,580
I have a motion.

247
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,940
Do I have this second?

248
00:17:36,140 --> 00:17:37,040
Thank you.

249
00:17:37,340 --> 00:17:38,800
Could I have a roll call please?

250
00:17:39,260 --> 00:17:40,540
Madam Mary's is for clarification.

251
00:17:40,940 --> 00:17:43,920
We're also pulling out of eight fees since it was already discussed.

252
00:17:44,740 --> 00:17:45,020
Right.

253
00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:47,440
Commissioner Limitop.

254
00:17:48,580 --> 00:17:48,740
Yes.

255
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:50,880
Yes.

256
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:52,740
Yes.

257
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:55,900
I'm sorry.

258
00:17:58,820 --> 00:17:59,400
I'm sorry.

259
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:01,800
Okay.

260
00:18:01,980 --> 00:18:03,880
I will read into the record.

261
00:18:04,420 --> 00:18:08,440
A resolution of the mayor and the city commission of the city of Helen Dale Beach, Florida.

262
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,400
The expressing its support of the Broward County audit of the animal care and adoption division report.

263
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:33,460
Number 21-05, dated December 16, 2020, providing for its support of the implementation of guidelines and best practices by the animal care and adoption division with the goal of providing better care for the dogs and cats maintained at this shelter.

264
00:18:33,460 --> 00:18:36,820
and this is providing for a fact of date.

265
00:18:36,820 --> 00:18:40,080
This is sponsored by Commissioner Michelle Lazarus,

266
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,380
and I will turn her over for the presentation

267
00:18:43,380 --> 00:18:44,260
and discussion.

268
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,040
Thank you.

269
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,760
It's really not a discussion as much as it is a statement

270
00:18:51,140 --> 00:18:53,640
that I've been involved with the county shelter

271
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,420
and volunteering and involved with the activists

272
00:18:57,420 --> 00:18:59,060
for almost a decade.

273
00:18:59,380 --> 00:19:02,400
I've watched numerous directors come and go.

274
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:16,440
I was one of the people who helped to get Thomas to dare out for breaking the law and changing public records, which he was the OIG had begun in investigation,

275
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,020
so rather than go through that, he skipped town, rightly so.

276
00:19:21,020 --> 00:19:43,820
So when Laura Lye comes, was hired, I was in full support and shortly thereafter a year into the hiring of Laura Lye, the activists and advocates who were for free every single day were coming to the county and saying the conditions are deplorable, please help us.

277
00:19:43,820 --> 00:19:49,940
and the county did nothing and much of this falling on the shoulders of birth

278
00:19:49,940 --> 00:19:56,280
a Henry. It wasn't until Mark Vogen finally sent somebody in under cover

279
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,680
one of his friends, women who had a history of shelter.

280
00:20:00,020 --> 00:20:11,500
Work, in county facilities, other places, and he she went in under cover, and she came back and told Commissioner Bogun, at that time, Mayor Bogun, out the disgusting, it wasn't there.

281
00:20:12,340 --> 00:20:17,340
And as a result of that, he or as for this audit, which was approved by the commission.

282
00:20:18,180 --> 00:20:28,020
And if you happen to read any of the 288 page document, it's really sickening, animals being left in the dark for 17 hours a day.

283
00:20:28,020 --> 00:20:36,940
Cats had encroaches that are too small, medical attention that is not happening that needs to 35.

284
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,140
They're short 35 employees.

285
00:20:42,020 --> 00:20:44,260
The conditions were deplorable.

286
00:20:44,980 --> 00:20:49,940
And I know that at some point over the last couple of years while Laura Lai was in charge,

287
00:20:49,940 --> 00:20:59,880
we as the city gave a certificate of some kind of recommendation, which I knew at that time

288
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:06,740
that we shouldn't be doing, but I went along to get along, which is why votes have consequences.

289
00:21:07,820 --> 00:21:15,760
So this is first started, this resolution was started by the mayor of Millsboro Beach.

290
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:23,160
I asked that we support the same preso and I'm going to ask that the city clerk makes

291
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,840
sure to please send that to all of the Broward County cities and I would really like to

292
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:35,200
see all of our cities get behind this and make sure this 208 page audit is not just

293
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,320
shelved like so many of the others and with that I'll make a motion to approve and let

294
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,880
someone else has something that I'd like to say.

295
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:50,760
But I have a second. I have a second. I would just like to include in this letter in this when we

296
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:58,000
send it out. If you would make an amendment to send a letter to Commissioner Mark Bowen and thank

297
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:05,060
him for his efforts on behalf of our city. So if that is fine, you accept that as an amendment.

298
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,840
I do. Everybody seconder. I take great. Okay, could I have a roll call, please.

299
00:22:15,140 --> 00:22:15,700
Best

300
00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:17,700
How are we going to?

301
00:22:19,340 --> 00:22:20,200
Commissioner Nazareth.

302
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:22,440
I'm going to turn it over.

303
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,040
Yes.

304
00:22:24,660 --> 00:22:25,100
Mayor Cooper.

305
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,120
Thank you.

306
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:31,100
Thank you, Commissioner.

307
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,400
A resolution on B.

308
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,480
A resolution of the City Commission of the City of Helen Del Beach Florida.

309
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,560
Reaffirming the City's commitment to first amendments rights.

310
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,080
Reaffirming that the first amendment projects.

311
00:22:43,080 --> 00:23:06,000
And guarantees the constitutional rate of all Americans to peacefully protest and requesting that law enforcement treat all protesters, the same regardless of race, sexual orientation, religious, police, or nationality, authorizing and directing the city clerk to transmit a copy of this resolution to the appropriate officials and providing for an effect of dates.

312
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,680
I pull this out item because I do want to speak not against the First Amendment rights,

313
00:23:12,780 --> 00:23:20,120
reaffirming them, or the protections guaranteed to everyone, regardless of race, sexual orientation,

314
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:28,080
religious beliefs, or nationally, nationality, however, I take objection to including that law

315
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:36,280
enforcement, treat all protesters to the scene. I do not agree. It doesn't

316
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:42,520
record you flex to what our police department does. And so regretfully, I will

317
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,240
be voting against this resolution.

318
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,560
If there is not a motion to approve, we can

319
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,540
move on. I'm not going to move the motion.

320
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:04,820
I have the hand.

321
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,080
I'm kind of as my hand.

322
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:07,820
I need to listen.

323
00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:09,040
I'm a talk with her.

324
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:09,780
Okay.

325
00:24:10,020 --> 00:24:10,960
Thank you.

326
00:24:11,340 --> 00:24:11,720
Commissioner.

327
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:12,200
Talk.

328
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:12,880
You're recognized.

329
00:24:13,420 --> 00:24:13,980
I'm sure you can.

330
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:14,340
Commissioner.

331
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:15,220
I'm sorry.

332
00:24:17,180 --> 00:24:17,880
You're actually.

333
00:24:18,660 --> 00:24:19,380
You're actually.

334
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:22,520
Thank you.

335
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,020
I.

336
00:24:24,340 --> 00:24:26,000
Well, I think this is a worthy resolution.

337
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,740
I think that.

338
00:24:28,740 --> 00:24:34,760
including law enforcement, points, the fingers at the law enforcement as if they are not

339
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:40,940
already doing this and in my humble opinion, I believe that law enforcement officers

340
00:24:40,940 --> 00:24:48,240
across the nation have been very respectful, but I don't want there's been verbal assault

341
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:57,840
of how Nail Beach PD for several years and I don't want our law enforcement officers to

342
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,000
I feel as if we got again, we are...

343
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:14,420
Our maligning them in any way, I think that the language of this resolution can be misconstrued as doing just that.

344
00:25:15,460 --> 00:25:25,900
So I will encourage the sponsor of this resolution to remove the portion of law enforcement.

345
00:25:27,420 --> 00:25:35,280
They are not the ovars that they are being met out to be and I think this type of language

346
00:25:36,420 --> 00:25:42,540
frankly puts our law enforcement officers in more dangerous than they already are.

347
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:43,640
So that'll be it for me.

348
00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:52,100
Commissioner Lazaro, I don't see your hand up, but I know you're trying to get it out.

349
00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:53,480
I took it down.

350
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,620
I was just going to make the motion to approve.

351
00:25:58,790 --> 00:26:00,470
So again,

352
00:26:03,790 --> 00:26:09,130
I I I I encourage you to remove the reference to law enforcement so maybe we could support it

353
00:26:09,130 --> 00:26:13,530
But if that is not the emotion could I have a roll-coff, please

354
00:26:14,910 --> 00:26:30,130
Commissioner have a Anna. Yes, I will not vote. Yes, I will not. That's a note for me. Very cool crew. Now

355
00:26:30,650 --> 00:26:31,890
Commissioner Lazarus

356
00:26:33,610 --> 00:26:34,130
Yes.

357
00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:35,190
Yes.

358
00:26:35,190 --> 00:26:36,970
What's the carries three two?

359
00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:38,030
Thank you.

360
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:38,910
Okay.

361
00:26:39,230 --> 00:26:40,970
And we'll talk to you in a minute.

362
00:26:41,290 --> 00:26:41,710
Let's keep.

363
00:26:45,020 --> 00:26:47,840
Ordinance is nine A.

364
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,920
And I know that's going to be heard in conjunction with nine B.

365
00:26:53,340 --> 00:26:56,540
And I do have a script to flow around here for a moment, just a minute.

366
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,460
Because this is quasi-judicial.

367
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:00,200
Okay.

368
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:07,900
We will be now hearing a request for conditional use permit application from the Hallendale Beach Community

369
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:11,960
Redevelopment Agency. Is this the rescript for this item?

370
00:27:12,180 --> 00:27:15,140
No, Madam Mayor. The quasi item 118.

371
00:27:16,260 --> 00:27:17,280
So you're good.

372
00:27:17,700 --> 00:27:18,440
All right.

373
00:27:22,420 --> 00:27:28,620
An ordinance of the mayor and the city commission is City Hallendale Beach Florida implementing the Hallendale Beach

374
00:27:28,620 --> 00:27:31,680
of our zoning districts amending

375
00:27:33,700 --> 00:27:37,220
the Hallendale Beach Regulating Plan to include the Hallendale

376
00:27:37,220 --> 00:27:43,200
Beach Boulevard West and the Hallendale Beach Boulevard East, Subtrifts Districts, adopting

377
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:48,560

380
00:27:58,700 --> 00:28:00,300
each sub-district standards.

381
00:28:00,740 --> 00:28:06,500
A Mending Chapter 32, Zoning and Land Development Code, Article 3, Division 3, Form-Basoning, District

382

384
00:28:23,340 --> 00:28:23,720
and others.

385
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:25,640
Amending article?

386
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:27,980
Yes.

387
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,080
Is that an eye or correct?

388
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:31,740
We have a one.

389
00:28:31,940 --> 00:28:32,480
It is a one.

390
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,140
Thank you.

391
00:28:33,140 --> 00:28:34,200
Thank you, City Attorney.

392
00:28:34,700 --> 00:28:40,160
Section 32-A definitions providing for conflict, providing for codification, providing for

393
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,980
survivability and providing for an effective date.

394
00:28:43,060 --> 00:28:48,920
This is the first reading and it's brought forth by staff from development services.

395
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,480
It's in conjunction with item B and awareness and mayor and the city commission of

396
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,320
city of Halendale Beach, Florida,

397
00:28:56,820 --> 00:28:58,480
amending city of Halendale Beach,

398
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,560
zoning map by removing business general BG,

399
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,680
and central city business CCV,

400
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,260
zoning districts, and the planned

401
00:29:05,260 --> 00:29:09,540
redevelopment overlay RDO districts

402
00:29:09,540 --> 00:29:12,160
from the lands within Halendale Beach,

403
00:29:12,220 --> 00:29:13,760
Boulevard, zoning district.

404
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,340
That's mouthful, hold on.

405
00:29:21,190 --> 00:29:24,410
Certain parcels are adjacent to Halendale Beach,

406
00:29:24,630 --> 00:29:26,190
Boulevard located within the boundaries

407
00:29:26,190 --> 00:29:32,350
of the General Commercial Land Use Category of the Comprehensive Plans Future Land Use Map to the

408
00:29:32,350 --> 00:29:36,510
Hall and Dale Beach Boulevard Zoning District, providing for conflict, providing for codification,

409
00:29:37,230 --> 00:29:41,730
providing for serveability and providing for an effective date. This, too, is also

410
00:29:41,730 --> 00:29:48,790
a first reading, and I will turn it over to our city manager for the presentations.

411
00:29:50,110 --> 00:29:55,410
Thank you very much, Madam Mayor. I'm a Commissioner of Speed, and so this is really a project

412
00:29:55,410 --> 00:29:59,950
that has been years and making other creation of these owning districts as close as

413
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,620
I think back in 2016, 2017, when the new meetings that were held to go over form-based code, zoning guidelines.

414
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:16,480
This is obviously meant to also help with the appearance along how they'll be as full of art in the area.

415
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:23,240
Make things more pedestrian-friendly, et cetera. So I'm going to ask our director of development services, Vanessa.

416
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,120
to come and give the presentation off of this item.

417
00:30:28,340 --> 00:30:28,380
Vanessa.

418
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,520
Thank you, City Manager.

419
00:30:31,820 --> 00:30:32,640
Good evening, Mayor.

420
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,600
Vice Mayor, City Commission, and members of the public.

421
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:40,660
I will be making the presentation today tonight for the Hondo Beach Boulevard

422
00:30:40,660 --> 00:30:42,560
Co-adminment and the rezoning.

423
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:44,660
We can go to the next slide.

424
00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:48,550
All right.

425
00:30:48,690 --> 00:30:51,390
So tonight what you will have in front of you are two

426
00:30:51,390 --> 00:30:53,610
resolution, two ordinances as the mayor's bed.

427
00:30:53,610 --> 00:31:07,670
One is to rezone to a form-based code and the other one is to amend our zoning map which would apply the districts that the code amendments would introduce.

428
00:31:08,230 --> 00:31:12,130
I will also be speaking on some design guidelines, those are adopted by Resolution.

429
00:31:12,790 --> 00:31:19,030
They are not on tonight for an action but I will provide some information about what is included in the design guidelines.

430
00:31:19,770 --> 00:31:25,790
that resolution would come back on second reading of the ordinances for adoption.

431
00:31:27,290 --> 00:31:28,850
We can go to the next.

432
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:31,320
All right.

433
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:36,420
As far as what is being rezoned, we are creating two different zoning districts.

434
00:31:37,660 --> 00:31:41,200
West Houndel Beach Boulevard and East Houndel Beach Boulevard.

435
00:31:41,300 --> 00:31:49,840
Those were looked at based off of the land sizes, neighboring zoning and land juices.

436
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:59,580
all taken into account. We can go to the next a little bit of background. This

437
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:05,160
this again has been a long time in the making. We have received the assistance

438
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:10,080
of Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council for the drafting of the ordinances.

439
00:32:11,260 --> 00:32:17,960
And as part of the 2017, we had several instances of public outreach community meetings

440
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:23,260
with developers, business owners, the Chamber of Commons, of Commerce, and the residents

441
00:32:23,260 --> 00:32:26,320
and the area we can go on to the next.

442
00:32:29,980 --> 00:32:34,580
The item was presented through the City Commission on the First Reading and the with the

443
00:32:34,580 --> 00:32:40,540
recommendation from the Commission to have a public workshop before a second reading.

444
00:32:41,420 --> 00:32:46,820
It did take some time as we've had some changes, tighter in administration, or priorities,

445
00:32:46,820 --> 00:32:52,120
But it did come back for the workshop in 2018 in August.

446
00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:59,080
We had a joint city commission in planning and zoning board to workshop to explain the proposed changes.

447
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:05,780
And we've taken in notes from the public and the other stakeholders that were participating in that workshop.

448
00:33:07,890 --> 00:33:13,570
In December 2020, as is the process, the item was presented to the planning and zoning board,

449
00:33:13,570 --> 00:33:19,050
which recommended approval of both ordinances and the design guidelines.

450
00:33:19,770 --> 00:33:21,630
You can move on to the next.

451
00:33:23,950 --> 00:33:25,390
All right, to give you an idea.

452
00:33:26,050 --> 00:33:30,170
Currently, what we have is a used-based code.

453
00:33:30,650 --> 00:33:33,510
And what we're proposing is more of a form-based code.

454
00:33:35,530 --> 00:33:39,930
So here what we're doing is we're eliminating these zoning districts that currently exist

455
00:33:39,930 --> 00:33:47,350
along how they'll be delivered and the overlay district, and we are creating only two zoning

456
00:33:47,350 --> 00:33:52,810
districts that would have the form-based regulations you can move on to the next.

457
00:33:56,820 --> 00:34:02,580
Here we have for you essentially an idea of the overall just of why we are bringing this

458
00:34:02,580 --> 00:34:06,580
item and what the intents and purposes are.

459
00:34:06,980 --> 00:34:11,940
The proposed ordinances, again, will help with the attractiveness of the corridor along how

460
00:34:11,940 --> 00:34:13,060
on the El Beach Boulevard.

461
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:16,640
It would provide for better mixture of use

462
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,140
as it is formed based rather than use space,

463
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,120
and also provide a better environment for pedestrians

464
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,520
and multi-modal modes of transportation.

465
00:34:26,700 --> 00:34:31,040
It will also encourage investments from the development community

466
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,900
by providing a little bit more clarity

467
00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:35,340
and efficiency and the process for approval.

468
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,340
As we also have the administrative approval process,

469
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,820
similar to what we currently have

470
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:47,300
the central rack of the regional activity center. Essentially what that is is that as long

471
00:34:47,300 --> 00:34:52,580
as a project meets all of the base requirements and is not asking for any special

472
00:34:52,580 --> 00:34:59,560
affordances the project can be approved administratively and essentially again

473
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:21,380
Project was looked at the corridor, was looked at based on the sizes of the land and the neighboring properties and it is geared towards protecting the adjacent residential properties and make sure that the uses and the sizes are compatible with the transition and scale for building sizes.

474
00:35:21,380 --> 00:35:23,180
We can move on to the next.

475
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:29,360
Here what you're looking at is what we call the regulating plan.

476
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,680
For the form-based code, these are all of the properties in

477
00:35:33,660 --> 00:35:37,720
Elendale, essentially, that have a form-based code.

478
00:35:38,180 --> 00:35:41,520
We currently have in the middle the Central Regional Activities Center,

479
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,900
which a commission is already familiar with.

480
00:35:44,780 --> 00:35:48,940
We're expanding that on to Elendale Beach Boulevard on the east and the west side

481
00:35:48,940 --> 00:35:53,300
on the Beach Boulevard flanking the Central Regional Activities Center.

482
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,240
We can move on to the next.

483
00:35:57,930 --> 00:36:02,550
The code proposes changes to the current allowable uses.

484
00:36:02,930 --> 00:36:07,490
Again, we've looked at the compatibility of these uses based off of the adjacent neighborhoods.

485
00:36:09,390 --> 00:36:15,910
And so we have a list of uses that are permitted in each of the east and the west on the Beach Boulevard districts.

486
00:36:16,660 --> 00:36:18,550
That we have provided here.

487
00:36:19,450 --> 00:36:29,290
We can go on to the next. Essentially, we have not taken away too much of what we have not taken away from the commercial uses that we're allowed.

488
00:36:29,830 --> 00:36:38,010
We have just made sure that we've revised it as the code had needed some revision to make sure it was compatible with the area.

489
00:36:38,690 --> 00:36:46,310
On the west, Heldow Beach Boulevard site, we do have development regulations that are different than what we have from the east.

490
00:36:46,830 --> 00:36:59,650
The properties on the west side are found to be smaller and lots, therefore, we do have that their own tailored development regulations that are setbacks in heights.

491
00:37:00,370 --> 00:37:06,750
And here, as we could also see in the code amendment, is a table of the development regulations.

492
00:37:07,290 --> 00:37:12,970
Essentially, when the development comes in, they will look at what their minimum

493
00:37:12,970 --> 00:37:17,430
law size would need to be, what their setbacks would need to be.

494
00:37:17,510 --> 00:37:19,190
We also talk about height and density.

495
00:37:20,670 --> 00:37:25,430
We have the civic and open space requirements, similar to the Central Regional Activities Center.

496
00:37:25,430 --> 00:37:31,050
And what's new here with the West Regional Activity Center, sorry, with the West, how

497
00:37:31,050 --> 00:37:36,330
though, each will have our zoning of district, that we've introduced what we call an incentive

498
00:37:36,330 --> 00:37:36,990
area.

499
00:37:38,330 --> 00:37:43,990
And unfortunately, I do not have a Zoom then, but this is a pretty long area that has been

500
00:37:43,990 --> 00:37:44,750
identified,

501
00:37:46,870 --> 00:37:51,870
which would encourage more development, so we would allow a lot more entitlements

502
00:37:51,870 --> 00:37:59,170
on the property of higher height and more flexibility with the development to encourage

503
00:37:59,170 --> 00:38:05,850
development on the Indian sense of area. I can go into detail but I'm happy to take any questions

504
00:38:05,850 --> 00:38:17,930
if you do have on any of these subdivisions but to give you an idea, the properties on the west

505
00:38:17,930 --> 00:38:31,070
how they'll be each bullet guard would be able to go up to eight stories that would be the maximum height in that area, except for the incentive area where it would be allowed to go through 350 feet.

506
00:38:32,150 --> 00:38:44,650
350 feet is the current height allowed under the plan of redevelopment overlay district which currently exists and we'll be going away for the corridor along Houndel Beach Boulevard.

507
00:38:45,770 --> 00:38:56,010
There for the property that is zone under the incentive area would be the only properties that would be allowed to go through to that height.

508
00:38:56,910 --> 00:39:05,890
Speaking of density, we have a base density of 18 million units per acre and a maximum density of 30 units per acre.

509
00:39:07,390 --> 00:39:15,550
Again, echoing the central regional activity center, a project can mean if a project needs

510
00:39:15,550 --> 00:39:18,350
the base density, then they can be approved administratively.

511
00:39:18,350 --> 00:39:27,270
If they have to go anywhere above the height and above the density, maximums, then they

512
00:39:27,270 --> 00:39:32,530
would have to request for special exceptions, either conditional uses, but regardless, they

513
00:39:32,530 --> 00:39:34,530
would have to come to commission for approval.

514
00:39:35,830 --> 00:39:37,570
We can move on into the next.

515
00:39:40,340 --> 00:39:42,440
So here we are looking at the east,

516
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,900
found out which boulevard of district regulations.

517
00:39:47,740 --> 00:39:51,400
For the east side, we did find that the property sizes were a lot larger,

518
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,980
and again, sustained larger developments.

519
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,400
Therefore, heights and density

520
00:39:58,420 --> 00:39:59,940
allowed based on what is being prepared.

521
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:08,680
Those are larger than from the west. Speaking of height, the base height, along the east,

522
00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:16,820
how much of which would be 10 stories. And the maximum height is 25 stories. As far as density,

523
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:24,480
the base density would be 18 dwelling units for acre. And the maximum would be 50 dwelling units

524
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:30,200
for acre. And all of these are also consistent with our comprehensive plan, which would show

525
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,220
that we would not need to make any changes to the comprehensive plan. It does not go beyond

526
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,780
that. We can move on to the next

527
00:40:42,070 --> 00:40:49,410
along with the building requirements. We have guidelines and

528
00:40:49,410 --> 00:40:57,210
standards for open spaces, we do require larger pedestrian pathways.

529
00:40:57,370 --> 00:41:01,430
As you can see here, we have streets to get streetscapes of standards.

530
00:41:02,330 --> 00:41:07,670
Whereas, for example, on the east side, we would require from the curb to a building,

531
00:41:08,630 --> 00:41:14,010
a minimum of 20 feet, which would allow ample space for trees, people,

532
00:41:19,390 --> 00:41:19,390
and

533
00:41:19,390 --> 00:41:21,090
We can go on to the next.

534
00:41:23,890 --> 00:41:28,310
The minimum Austrian parking requirements. We did not create a new

535
00:41:28,310 --> 00:41:33,790
section. This will be the same for the Central Regional Activity Center and the East and West

536
00:41:33,790 --> 00:41:39,670
Hound of Beach Boulevard of Districts. They are essentially echoing what we had currently

537
00:41:40,330 --> 00:41:47,210
had under the Central Regional Activity Center for parking requirements. We can go on to the next.

538
00:41:49,070 --> 00:41:52,530
Now, we're speaking a little bit about the design guidelines.

539
00:41:53,570 --> 00:42:01,070
The design guidelines are here to provide some sort of guidance to develop or as far as what the city is looking for.

540
00:42:02,050 --> 00:42:05,910
They are not to be abided by law.

541
00:42:06,110 --> 00:42:13,810
Essentially, they're not the land codified requirements, their guidelines and the reason why I also there being adopted by resolution.

542
00:42:14,610 --> 00:42:17,590
But they do provide the guidelines as far as what we would want to see.

543
00:42:17,590 --> 00:42:19,590
You can move on to the next slide.

544
00:42:21,350 --> 00:42:27,410
The design guidelines provides for front-hitch standards, front-hitch designs, architectural

545
00:42:27,410 --> 00:42:30,550
elements, in street-skate information.

546
00:42:32,710 --> 00:42:39,050
For example, how to reduce curb cuts, provides suggestions and recommendations as to how

547
00:42:39,050 --> 00:42:44,250
a development would be preferred as presented to the city.

548
00:42:44,250 --> 00:42:57,230
It encourages for shade and shelter, it encourages canopies, so better environments for what we are aiming for for pedestrian friendly locations.

549
00:42:58,910 --> 00:43:00,310
We can move on to your next.

550
00:43:03,620 --> 00:43:06,860
We also look at the building and neighborhood transition.

551
00:43:07,820 --> 00:43:15,880
So there is a reason why we have a minimum and maximum height that is allowed along local streets.

552
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:40,200
For example, which may differ from what it is for primary streets, because it takes into account the transition from a potential very large development that is fronting directly into a low density residential neighborhood. So we wouldn't want to affect the fabric of the residential neighborhood. So we do provide guidelines as to the height in scale for these projects.

553
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:45,780
and even the direction of some features such as balconies and doors, windows.

554
00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:55,960
And parking in access areas also, we provide guidelines so that we can ensure that there is appropriate circulation within developments,

555
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,000
especially those developments that are proposed on very large lots.

556
00:44:02,610 --> 00:44:03,810
Next slide please.

557
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:15,260
All right, similar again to the Central Regional Activities Center, we encourage and we do require in some instances civic and open spaces.

558
00:44:15,260 --> 00:44:30,020
And in these areas we do require street furniture, landscaping, seating, signage, and with the setback requirements we do also have provisions that would

559
00:44:30,020 --> 00:44:45,140
Lent for outdoor seating in cafes, so keeping in mind that the code and design guidelines are intended to create since the space for the Houndel Beach corridor.

560
00:44:45,980 --> 00:44:47,180
Next slide, please.

561
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:54,860
We also have, I spoke about civic and open space. We also opened it up for civic art.

562
00:44:54,860 --> 00:44:59,920
So we have guidelines for how those can be placed, similar.

563
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:12,920
To how we have at the city hall, and we have other courtyards and open space designs and suggestions and design guidelines for developments.

564
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:15,980
Next slide, please.

565
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:23,740
So again, what we have today are two ordinances for the City Commission's consideration.

566
00:45:24,540 --> 00:45:32,180
One is the code amendment that would apply to regulations to the east and west, how they'll

567
00:45:32,180 --> 00:45:35,240
reach full of our zoning of districts that we are introducing.

568
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,760
And the second is the rezoning of those areas that we have identified for the east and

569
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,600
west, how they'll reach full of parts of districts.

570
00:45:42,980 --> 00:45:49,320
We do recommend approval of the proposed changes in that second reading would be scheduled

571
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:56,900
hit upon second reading, then you would have the action on the resolution to adopt the design

572
00:45:56,900 --> 00:46:02,060
guidelines that we've spoken about today. The design guidelines are adopted by resolution,

573
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:08,000
and that does conclude my presentation. I'm happy to take any of your questions.

574
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:17,440
Thank you very, very much. First of all, I'm glad that this is coming forward. I do have some

575
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:27,440
specific questions. If you could go back to a, a, a, a, a, a map of the layouts of the districts. If you would direct really, right.

576
00:46:28,500 --> 00:46:28,760
Sure.

577
00:46:30,940 --> 00:46:35,380
The layout of the district. That's fine. That's fine. Just as meant that we're going to reference.

578
00:46:36,180 --> 00:46:37,780
Pardon me. That that's perfect.

579
00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:43,620
West Beach Boulevard. Well, no, give me the, the one that we're doing today.

580
00:46:43,620 --> 00:47:07,120
All right, leave there. West Beach Boulevard. Okay, we had discussed this a while back when we had did the first reading on the federal highway corridors and I am concerned we have that whole warehouse district there and I don't know if there was any discussions to I mean we want a varied

581
00:47:09,420 --> 00:47:14,480
business type and facilities and housing types throughout the city, but

582
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:19,780
during our visioning when we looked at the master plan for the city overall, there

583
00:47:19,780 --> 00:47:25,180
was some suggestions to actually possibly even hope, oh, I'll grow a hotels in that

584
00:47:25,180 --> 00:47:32,020
area and kind of morph it out of just the regular warehousing. I don't know if that

585
00:47:32,020 --> 00:47:35,040
came up in any discussions or considerations.

586
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:40,080
And on this district as well, on the north side,

587
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,500
is there a reason why we didn't go further in on the blocks?

588
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:52,060
I know it's built out now, but to expand that area,

589
00:47:52,100 --> 00:47:55,180
particularly in the north, because it's pretty commercial

590
00:47:55,180 --> 00:47:56,800
at this point to begin with.

591
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:04,560
Yes, there was conversation among staff and fortunately we didn't have that much representation

592
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:11,280
from stakeholders in that specific area to provide comments or objections to what was being proposed.

593
00:48:12,180 --> 00:48:16,840
But we did have conversation among staff about these areas.

594
00:48:17,100 --> 00:48:19,980
One of the large blocks is already a residential area.

595
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:25,860
That's multifamily development that was built with portable housing.

596
00:48:25,860 --> 00:48:37,660
so that area was not to be touched. And the other blocks there, what we've allowed

597
00:48:37,660 --> 00:48:44,000
is that if the area would want to be redeveloped, they could always come for a rezoning

598
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:54,260
for that. However, we found that it wouldn't fit for what we are proposing at the moment,

599
00:48:54,260 --> 00:48:57,320
because in the rear of that area is what we have

600
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,000
called the industrial area, right,

601
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,060
closing the east and west,

602
00:49:03,060 --> 00:49:06,680
how they'll reach regulations and uses

603
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,560
would affect the businesses

604
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,100
and what is allowed currently there.

605
00:49:14,530 --> 00:49:14,590
With that.

606
00:49:14,590 --> 00:49:19,150
I could just reiterate, I think, I think I'm sorry.

607
00:49:19,170 --> 00:49:21,310
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

608
00:49:21,350 --> 00:49:25,470
Now it's okay, you understand what you're trying in

609
00:49:25,470 --> 00:49:28,370
And I'd love to hear from Dr. Earl as well,

610
00:49:28,910 --> 00:49:30,990
that, you know, yes, we can establish this,

611
00:49:31,210 --> 00:49:34,270
but if there isn't that land space,

612
00:49:34,670 --> 00:49:37,290
it's kind of mute.

613
00:49:38,310 --> 00:49:43,930
So, Dr. Laura, I hit on exactly the theory behind this

614
00:49:43,930 --> 00:49:46,950
is that you currently have a certain zoning

615
00:49:46,950 --> 00:49:50,750
that could be looked at as taking away uses

616
00:49:50,750 --> 00:49:53,090
if we were to expand it.

617
00:49:53,090 --> 00:49:59,950
But we have created the incentive zone that you mentioned that could be so attractive to somebody.

618
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:08,540
That they would want to ask for a rezoning and assemble the parcels. So, right now, we have the incentive zoning

619
00:50:08,540 --> 00:50:17,580
where Dr. Lower, I talked about up to 350 feet, at the very West End, and some of those warehouses may see that.

620
00:50:17,700 --> 00:50:25,260
And want to pass the city to rezoning rather than us rezoning than have a claim that we're being fair to them.

621
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:30,440
Yeah, I didn't want to exclude it, but I hear you.

622
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,800
Dr. Earl, I know this is your bellywicked too.

623
00:50:35,740 --> 00:50:36,740
So, city manager?

624
00:50:38,260 --> 00:50:41,520
No, I think the mechanism that they haven't raised right now.

625
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,600
I think it's very good for us to test this out, men and men.

626
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:51,240
Form-based codes are something that we use successfully

627
00:50:51,240 --> 00:50:58,880
and Dana Beach to see the types of development and that Dana Beach has now, and if something

628
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:05,900
isn't working, then it can also be tweaked. And I think that's a good thing about them.

629
00:51:06,980 --> 00:51:11,400
So, you know, I think staff was working very hard on this, and we didn't put this into play,

630
00:51:11,580 --> 00:51:15,580
and then tweak as we go along to have something that truly reflects how and they'll be.

631
00:51:15,580 --> 00:51:20,720
Great. Thank you, Dr. Earl. And thank you, Vanessa, and assistant, sitting in the

632
00:51:20,720 --> 00:51:23,220
chair of the club. The next question,

633
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:29,440
there was a carve out between Dixie and federal.

634
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:36,000
Was there a reason if you go back to the other side that shows the East District and the West District?

635
00:51:37,500 --> 00:51:40,400
Is that because it was covered by this central rack?

636
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:53,580
Yes, so you're speaking of that zoning map that I showed it. It does do that portion in the middle, but as you can see here, it is colored and these are all of the phone days going properties perfect

637
00:51:53,580 --> 00:52:06,400
Okay, on first of all, thank you for all your work. I'm in full support of this. It was interesting because I actually intend to remember push to bring form base codes here and realizing that

638
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:13,380
that basically developers, and I looked at the comments, particularly the chair of the

639
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:21,000
PNC board notice that all this works together, that it allows developers not have to

640
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:29,120
go through a six-month process or even at some length, 12-month process or 18-month process

641
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:30,860
to get a development approved.

642
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,760
This combined with the rules and regulations that we've established within this district

643
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:42,960
than the other central rack district, combined with the impact parameters that we have.

644
00:52:43,260 --> 00:52:49,200
I think we're really, finally putting the final piece of the puzzle together to make this

645
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:50,380
really desirable.

646
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:57,560
So, thank you for your work and it's really great to see it come through fruition and I love

647
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:58,280
the process.

648
00:52:58,740 --> 00:52:59,520
Thank you.

649
00:52:59,960 --> 00:53:04,880
Do I have any other questions or comments from my colleagues or concerns at this point?

650
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:06,440
It is the first reading.

651
00:53:07,580 --> 00:53:09,580
Shouldn't to approve my hand or what.

652
00:53:09,780 --> 00:53:10,660
Many of you, sorry.

653
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,600
Wait, yeah, I just saw it go up.

654
00:53:12,620 --> 00:53:13,720
Commissioner Lazarale.

655
00:53:13,720 --> 00:53:14,620
Thank you.

656
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,080
I do want to thank staff.

657
00:53:17,500 --> 00:53:20,840
They did an amazing job, not only with this document,

658
00:53:21,180 --> 00:53:23,800
but also with all the town hall meetings

659
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,900
and all of the workshops and all of the input from the public.

660
00:53:27,140 --> 00:53:29,540
I'm not a big fan of form-based codes,

661
00:53:30,180 --> 00:53:34,680
but on this for this, I will support it.

662
00:53:35,420 --> 00:53:40,720
Obviously, if there's ever an applicant that does have a problem or an issue or they don't feel

663
00:53:40,720 --> 00:53:44,260
they're getting what they want, they can certainly always appeal to the commission.

664
00:53:45,900 --> 00:53:50,800
So I'm always, that's always my first question. Can they always appeal to the commission?

665
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:58,140
And they can, and I think, you know, given the state of our permitting department, and again, no disrespect to our department,

666
00:53:58,140 --> 00:54:07,120
But anything that can streamline some of this permitting, we really need to take advantage of it because it simplifies it for them.

667
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:11,780
It makes it easier for the developer to know what they have to do.

668
00:54:12,500 --> 00:54:16,600
And I think it's a good way to address both of those concerns.

669
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,860
And again, I want to thank you to the development services.

670
00:54:20,860 --> 00:54:27,380
I know that Christine, Kristina, Kristina, Kristina, Kristina, Kristina, Kristina, Kristina,

671
00:54:27,900 --> 00:54:33,120
and Director of the Roy, and Director of the Year's, you know, you guys have put a lot

672
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:39,040
of energy in the bump for getting anybody, please go through to name them also Director of

673
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:43,820
the Roy. So thank you again for your hard work on this. It'll be a pleasure to support it tonight.

674
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:50,740
Just a question on the motion. This is for second reading of the first week in

675
00:54:50,740 --> 00:54:52,040
I

676
00:54:54,790 --> 00:54:56,570
believe so.

677
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:05,520
It would be for the second week in March. Okay, thank you.

678
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:12,260
Make a motion, correct? And did I have a second? Second.

679
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:19,200
And I have no hand slur. Could I have a, I'm going to call vote on the first item?

680
00:55:20,980 --> 00:55:21,000
Yes.

681
00:55:21,460 --> 00:55:24,380
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

682
00:55:25,140 --> 00:55:27,560
It's a public hearing, so we just need to open it.

683
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:28,840
I'm sorry.

684
00:55:29,020 --> 00:55:32,000
Did we have any speakers signed up to the clerk?

685
00:55:32,300 --> 00:55:32,920
No, Madam Mayor.

686
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:34,740
Are there any speakers in this?

687
00:55:34,900 --> 00:55:35,160
No.

688
00:55:35,240 --> 00:55:35,980
There is not.

689
00:55:36,860 --> 00:55:38,660
So I opened the public hearing.

690
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,440
A close of public hearing.

691
00:55:41,180 --> 00:55:43,580
And we had a motion as second.

692
00:55:43,940 --> 00:55:49,160
And this is for the first resolution.

693
00:55:50,580 --> 00:55:51,760
Could I have roll call?

694
00:55:53,730 --> 00:55:54,470
For item 9.

695
00:55:54,650 --> 00:55:54,730

696
00:55:54,910 --> 00:55:55,030
Commissioner.

697
00:55:55,570 --> 00:55:56,090
Yeah.

Most of the area is five zero.

707
00:56:08,170 --> 00:56:17,450
I will also entertain a motion on nine B and set second reading for the second meeting in March.

00:56:17,530 --> 00:56:18,030
Second.

709

On motion in a second. Could I have a roll call, please?

710
00:56:23,780 --> 00:56:25,840
Nice Mayor Butler.

711

00:56:38,500 --> 00:56:39,620

Thank you.

720
00:56:41,060 --> 00:56:42,340
Oh, Commission City Clerk.

721
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,200
Item 10, ordinance is on second reading.

722
00:56:45,900 --> 00:56:49,720

00:57:52,060 --> 00:57:54,420
Do we all open up the public hearing?

736
00:57:54,980 --> 00:57:58,260
Do we have any speakers signed up?

737
00:57:58,700 --> 00:57:59,180
No, I don't know.

738
00:57:59,180 --> 00:58:02,960
Madam Mayor, the City Clerk's office has never seen any public participation for this item.

739
00:58:03,380 --> 00:58:04,980
And it was probably advertised.

00:58:04,980 --> 00:58:08,160
as three pass by for such a two 86.

741
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,680

00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,120

00:58:22,180 --> 00:58:23,760
So any of those who wish to,

748
00:58:23,900 --> 00:58:26,660

749
00:58:31,170 --> 00:58:33,010
Anyone wishing to speak on this item?

00:58:33,210 --> 00:58:34,890
Again, please raise your hand.

751
00:58:36,970 --> 00:58:38,090

758
00:59:26,500 --> 00:59:28,420

You want to help me hearing a request for the conditionally used permit application from the Helen Delvis community redevelopment

769
01:00:56,660 --> 01:01:03,100
This matter will be treated as quasi-judicial, and there are certain guidelines in which

770
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:05,240

OK.

Good.

786
01:01:50,140 --> 01:01:50,260
Good.

787
01:01:50,260 --> 01:01:50,460
Good.

788
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:50,660
Good.

789
01:01:50,660 --> 01:01:50,740
Good.

790
01:01:50,740 --> 01:01:50,840
Good.

791
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:51,140

792
01:01:53,700 --> 01:01:53,940
Good.

793
01:01:56,740 --> 01:01:57,100
Good.

794
01:02:10,910 --> 01:02:15,490
Thank you, thank you so much, commission and city clerk.

795
01:02:16,190 --> 01:02:27,270
A resolution of the mayor and the city commission of the city hall and the all beach and I've already read the title.

796
01:02:27,270 --> 01:02:33,970
I'm going to turn it over to this city attorney, please outline the process and the rules.

797
01:02:34,650 --> 01:02:39,230
Thank you Madam Mayor, this is a quasi-judicial hearing for the aforementioned item.

798
01:02:39,710 --> 01:02:43,390
All parties, witnesses, and members of the Commission participate in the most remotely,

799
01:02:43,890 --> 01:02:46,950
must remain visible on-screen at all times during this hearing.

800
01:02:47,610 --> 01:02:54,710
Witnesses will be sworn in by the clerk, pursuant to sort of Supreme Court ruling permitting for remote swearing during the COVID state of emergency.

801
01:02:54,710 --> 01:02:59,770
The public has been provided notice of this hearing and will have an opportunity to comment.

802
01:03:00,350 --> 01:03:04,170
The Commission must base its decision on the legal criteria outlined in the cover memo.

803
01:03:04,730 --> 01:03:08,230
The cover memo and other agenda materials are incorporated into the record.

804
01:03:08,870 --> 01:03:11,750
Your decision must be based on substantial competent evidence.

805
01:03:12,250 --> 01:03:17,870
So, substantial competent evidence is the evidence a reasonable mind would accept this adequate to support a conclusion.

806
01:03:18,590 --> 01:03:20,410
The order of the proceedings is as follows.

807
01:03:20,410 --> 01:03:26,450
The city will present a summary of the request and the applicant will present its case, and then any interested parties will present

808
01:03:26,450 --> 01:03:30,830
We have no registered interested parties in this matter the commission may ask questions

809
01:03:30,830 --> 01:03:35,610
When all presentations are concluded the members of the public shall be allowed to speak for three minutes each

810
01:03:35,610 --> 01:03:44,710
Because we have to follow rules of due process to allow the parties to respond and provide evidence members of the public will not get a second opportunity to speak

811
01:03:44,710 --> 01:03:55,770
When public hearings are concluded, the city, the applicant and the effective parties will get an opportunity to address the comments and the commission may ask questions to staff the applicant or sworn experts.

812
01:03:56,330 --> 01:04:00,370
Once all the questions are closed, there can be no further comments from any party.

813
01:04:00,770 --> 01:04:05,650
The commission will then vote on each item accordingly in this case there's only one item.

814
01:04:06,070 --> 01:04:07,530
Thank you.

815
01:04:07,530 --> 01:04:11,410
Thank you. I will now turn it. Oh, well, we have to

816
01:04:12,350 --> 01:04:18,610
sweety every for the end of we do we need to pull the commission madam mayor. That's man.

817
01:04:20,420 --> 01:04:21,900
Go ahead. City clerk.

818
01:04:23,140 --> 01:04:27,120
Madam mayor. Have you had any expertise of communications with the applicants or any

819
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:39,020
objector or anyone on this matter? Well, ironically, because we're on the board of directors of the

820
01:04:39,020 --> 01:04:47,020
in public at the Houndel Beach CRA meeting and it will not impact my decision this evening.

821
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:48,980
Thank you, Minimaire.

822
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:49,580
Thank you.

823
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:58,780
Just as a point of order could we actually put on on the screen because we still have the resolution up.

824
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:00,000
There you.

825
01:05:03,730 --> 01:05:07,850
Madam Clerk, can you further follow a question with the mayor just to get it on the record please?

826
01:05:08,050 --> 01:05:13,690
Yes, Madam Attorney. Madam Mayor, will your vote today be based only on the information you hear today and not based on any

827
01:05:13,690 --> 01:05:15,450

Matt proceed with us wearing the applicants. What is this? Please do. Madam Clerk. Thank you.

849
01:07:17,460 --> 01:07:21,360
Well, all those who intend to testify in this hearing today, please turn on your camera.

850
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:37,260
Madam Mayor, is there anyone there supposed to be on camera? We do have a general

851
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,880
Marcinetti, who is supposed to be representing the African

852
01:07:44,460 --> 01:07:44,940
Jenna?

853
01:07:45,300 --> 01:07:45,780
Jenna.

854
01:07:46,940 --> 01:07:48,140
O-G-E-N.

855
01:07:49,660 --> 01:07:51,180
That must be it.

856
01:07:53,010 --> 01:07:54,390
J-E-N-N-A.

857
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,980
I don't see no Jenna, I only see a Jenna, G-E-N.

858
01:08:03,250 --> 01:08:05,830
Anyone speaking on this item, can you please raise your hand?

859
01:08:06,950 --> 01:08:07,430
Attendees?

860
01:08:13,090 --> 01:08:13,970
It's under Allison.

861
01:08:14,910 --> 01:08:15,390
Thank you.

862
01:08:24,460 --> 01:08:27,280
Allison is supposed to be sworn in,

863
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:34,600
Well, if it may be a wrong name on the screen for them, but let me do have as a speaker,

864
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:39,800
Jenna Marstonity, you're on your mom.

865
01:08:40,380 --> 01:08:41,840
Madam, you're on mute.

866
01:08:42,620 --> 01:08:43,060
Sorry.

867
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,580
My daughter's school Zoom took over.

868
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:47,360
It's me.

869
01:08:47,580 --> 01:08:48,160
Jenna Marstonity.

870
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:49,720
Thank you, madam.

871
01:08:50,540 --> 01:08:50,600
Okay.

872
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,000
Please wait for your right hand.

873
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:58,160
Do you swear or affirm that this has so many you will give in this matter?

874
01:08:58,160 --> 01:08:59,780
there will be the truth and nothing but the truth.

875
01:08:59,980 --> 01:09:01,420
If so, please state, I do.

876
01:09:01,740 --> 01:09:02,440
I do.

877
01:09:02,940 --> 01:09:03,420
Thank you, Madam.

878
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:05,060
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

879
01:09:05,740 --> 01:09:06,560
Thank you.

880
01:09:06,980 --> 01:09:09,780
I will turn it over to staff for presentation.

881
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:13,720
All right, thank you very much, Madam Mayor.

882
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,380
This is an item that was approved by the CRA Board.

883
01:09:17,020 --> 01:09:19,200
For those who may not know where this is,

884
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:23,580
this is going to be directly west of the new Icebox

885
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:27,340
restaurant that is on Northeast the Bird Street.

886
01:09:28,860 --> 01:09:31,720
This is going to be a temporary parking lot.

887
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:37,340
Due to the fact that there are a lot of new and exciting things happening in the FAD,

888
01:09:38,060 --> 01:09:40,520
neighborhood for the first time in many, many, many, many years.

889
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:44,340
So for our residents who are in that area, you can see that you should be in container,

890
01:09:45,460 --> 01:09:48,660
bar and grill that will be there at the intersection of Northeast First Avenue,

891
01:09:48,940 --> 01:09:53,100
and how to be full of our washers for insurance and a spectacular job.

892
01:09:53,100 --> 01:09:58,760
with their new facade, go be sure we're still working on their improvements to their building.

893
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:13,120
We have, obviously, ice box, and then we have another major improvement that it's going to be the north of north of northeast for street, where the algae costumes are, that one's actually currently in permit and as we speak.

894
01:10:13,340 --> 01:10:27,200
So we're seeing some great activity in the fat area. And this park in is one of those things that the business owners have said is absolutely needed. And so for a little while, that's why it's on a permanent asphalt park.

895
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:30,760
not, you know, CVCR is going to put up this

896
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:32,840
archaeological proof by the City Commission.

897
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,800
And hopefully we'll be able to to encourage more business

898
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,080
development in that area.

899
01:10:39,260 --> 01:10:43,220
And with that, I will ask directly why and Jenna to take

900
01:10:43,220 --> 01:10:44,240
over.

901
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:45,400
Thank you, sir.

902
01:10:45,540 --> 01:10:46,700
Thank you.

903
01:10:50,220 --> 01:10:50,340
All right.

904
01:10:50,420 --> 01:10:51,000
Thank you.

905
01:10:51,140 --> 01:10:53,600
I will be making the presentation on behalf of the city

906
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:57,920
for this application for a conditional use.

907
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,880
We can move on to the next slide

908
01:11:04,660 --> 01:11:08,440
as the City Manager indicated the location of the property

909
01:11:08,440 --> 01:11:12,540
is it's two or three in our east, third street, it's right on third street and second

910
01:11:12,540 --> 01:11:16,800
afternoon in the northeast and directly west of the ice box development.

911
01:11:19,110 --> 01:11:20,330
We can move on to the next.

912
01:11:23,170 --> 01:11:26,550
Or you are looking at the regulating plan which speaks to the zoning of the property.

913
01:11:27,170 --> 01:11:32,270
It is zone, the fashion art and design and district, sub-district in the central regional

914
01:11:32,270 --> 01:11:35,710
activity center. Next slide please.

915
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:41,100
All right, this application is before you as in

916
01:11:41,100 --> 01:11:47,560
under the fashion art, the Fed zoning sub district. The use that is being proposed

917
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:52,580
the interim parking space is permitted only as a conditionally used. So it has to go to commission

918
01:11:52,580 --> 01:12:00,260
funding of zoning and commission for approval. So this application number C U 2557 is

919
01:12:00,260 --> 01:12:07,600
presented from the Houndel Beach community redevelopment agency as it is their property for the conditional use

920
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:15,460
to allow an interim parking space parking lot on a lot of the 22,000 square feet

921
01:12:15,460 --> 01:12:21,680
for 42 parking spaces including 2 ADA spaces.

922
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:23,720
Next slide please.

923
01:12:25,580 --> 01:12:32,620
Again, we are going along the Zoning requirements and as a conditional use and entering parking

924
01:12:32,620 --> 01:12:37,660
space is requiring the City Commission approval.

925
01:12:39,140 --> 01:12:43,360
And one of the casian additions for interim parking spaces is that they must be maintained

926
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:49,600
thus free as far as what the surface material is providing and should have a perimeter

927
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:57,020
landscaping with hedges and trees along the property line. Essentially entering

928
01:12:57,020 --> 01:13:01,260
part enter in parking spaces will not be required to provide all of the

929
01:13:01,260 --> 01:13:06,640
requirements of a permanent parking lot. Therefore the material is one of the

930
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:12,180
essential parts of this application and the reason why it would be presented in

931
01:13:12,180 --> 01:13:17,080
front of you. This item was presented to the planning and zoning board in September

932
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:26,200
of last year the planning and zoning board heard item and recommended approval with the commission the conditions that staff had provided.

933
01:13:27,780 --> 01:13:28,820
Next slide please.

934
01:13:31,070 --> 01:13:37,790
So we have visuals of the, well it's it's a little bit prior than the existing right now it's finished.

935
01:13:38,490 --> 01:13:43,830
But these already in the existing conditions of the property as it was presented to us upon application.

936
01:13:43,830 --> 01:13:46,810
We can go on to the next slide, please.

937
01:13:51,140 --> 01:14:02,580
Sorry about the distorted site plan, but we do have a site plan showing to 42 parking spaces and 288A spaces that are being proposed and they lay out in the landscaping would come on the next slide.

938
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:08,660
But here you do see the material that is being proposed as opposed to having a hard surface.

939
01:14:08,700 --> 01:14:13,100
We have some permeable papers proposed on that lot.

940
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:17,260
You can go on to the next.

941
01:14:19,630 --> 01:14:22,170
One of the conditions for the interim parking spaces

942
01:14:22,170 --> 01:14:24,730
is that the perimeter of the property must be landscape.

943
01:14:25,430 --> 01:14:27,890
And this is also what is being proposed by the development.

944
01:14:29,090 --> 01:14:35,230
We do have the parking spaces landscape as per the code.

945
01:14:36,510 --> 01:14:37,650
Next slide.

946
01:14:38,950 --> 01:14:43,730
Conditional use permits have eight criteria for approval,

947
01:14:43,730 --> 01:14:49,390
which were reviewed by staff and presented to the Commission up to the planning and zoning board.

948
01:14:50,170 --> 01:14:54,890
And the project was found to be consistent with all of the conditions for approval.

949
01:14:55,070 --> 01:14:58,330
Therefore, we do recommend approval of the project.

950
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,500
We move on to the next please.

951
01:15:04,370 --> 01:15:30,850
We do have conditions for the approval. Originally when it was brought to the planning and zoning board, we did ask that the project expired in the five years. There's planning and zoning board to recommend that it be extended to six, which is in front of you now. So the one of the conditions for the temporary use is that it's to allow the interim space to temporary use to six years.

952
01:15:32,570 --> 01:15:40,070
After that time, essentially the property would need to be brought back to a condition that is acceptable by current code,

953
01:15:40,490 --> 01:15:47,750
unless by the 60 years expiration time, the use of the material that is there is permitted by right,

954
01:15:48,130 --> 01:15:55,570
and at that time, they would be allowed to maintain and leave the previous papers as proposed.

955
01:15:55,570 --> 01:16:04,810
The other condition is that upon the exploration of this project, as a project or a site is expanded,

956
01:16:05,650 --> 01:16:10,850
that it provides the eight feet pedestrian walkway as required by the code.

957
01:16:11,110 --> 01:16:13,950
So again this is an interim temporary use of the space.

958
01:16:14,490 --> 01:16:20,150
So we are not having the property meet all of the requirements of a permanent use.

959
01:16:20,150 --> 01:16:27,730
we're following the temporary nature of it, but as the use that is being proposed

960
01:16:27,730 --> 01:16:36,750
becomes permanent, we would require that the pedestrian walkway meet the current requirements

961
01:16:36,750 --> 01:16:45,210
or the requirements as it is at the time of the exploration for the pedestrian walkways

962
01:16:45,210 --> 01:16:48,350
along the perimeter of the property.

963
01:16:50,500 --> 01:16:52,400
You can go on to the next slide.

964
01:16:55,460 --> 01:16:57,100
Oh, I think that's it.

965
01:16:57,360 --> 01:16:59,020
That does include my presentation.

966
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:03,680
And we do have Jenna Marchenetti for the applicant

967
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,340
to speak on the item as well.

968
01:17:06,660 --> 01:17:06,800
Thank you.

969
01:17:09,420 --> 01:17:13,020
I actually don't have anything more to say other than what she said.

970
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,300
And I can answer any questions as needed.

971
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:16,100
Thank you.

972
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:18,220
Okay.

973
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:25,020
Do we have any people that have eraser hands that are in attendance?

974
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:26,960
Any, at least.

975
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:32,340
Any questions you want to speak on this item please raise your hand?

976
01:17:34,230 --> 01:17:34,650
No, Madam Mayor.

977
01:17:34,750 --> 01:17:35,130
We do not.

978
01:17:35,410 --> 01:17:39,250
And for the record, City Clerk's Office did not receive any public participation for this item.

979
01:17:39,870 --> 01:17:40,150
Okay.

980
01:17:40,690 --> 01:17:44,490
Well the public hearing has been opened for participation.

981
01:17:44,490 --> 01:17:56,630
And I will now close it and enter into deliberations with the City Commission or have the City Commission answer questions. I'm sorry first. Do I have any hands raised?

982
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:02,120
Vice Mayor Butler.

983
01:18:02,860 --> 01:18:03,200
You're recognized.

984
01:18:03,740 --> 01:18:17,820
Thanks Mayor. I you know I think that first of all at the this location and I spend quite a bit of time in this area has needed to be improved for quite some time.

985
01:18:17,820 --> 01:18:21,180
I know that the business owners have been asking for it.

986
01:18:21,300 --> 01:18:23,660
The site has frankly been somewhat of an eye sore.

987
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,580
And we do have a significant problem with parking in the area.

988
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:30,200
So I'm thrilled to see that this has come forward.

989
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,740
I think that understanding this is quasi-tuticial.

990
01:18:33,820 --> 01:18:38,860
I don't see any reason not to approve it.

991
01:18:38,860 --> 01:18:43,920
And I guess, a way to hear what Commissioner Havillana says,

992
01:18:44,440 --> 01:18:46,340
I would fully support the item.

993
01:18:46,340 --> 01:18:51,220
Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Commissioner, have any of them?

994
01:18:51,540 --> 01:18:53,360
Yes, thank you. Now I'm just going to repeat.

995
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:57,580
Please, Mayor Butler, I think this is absolutely needed for fast revitalization.

996
01:18:57,980 --> 01:19:02,320
Many businesses are investing in this area because they know that there's going to be increased parking

997
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:06,340
off of the success of their businesses such as go bistro.

998
01:19:06,820 --> 01:19:10,040
The ship and container restaurant and bar that we're going to have.

999
01:19:10,300 --> 01:19:14,880
The item that's on our theory agenda later on tonight and others who are investing in this area.

1000
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:19,160
I saw no issues, brought up by P&Z, reading their minutes as to why they shouldn't be

1001
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:21,840
approved and they recommended it unanimously.

1002
01:19:23,020 --> 01:19:28,860
So I think this is great and it shows our commitment to really revitalizing a fat,

1003
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:32,900
which when we first said, I think two years ago when I first came on the commission,

1004
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:36,500
we're going to start prioritizing fat.

1005
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:43,180
There was, I guess, skepticism from some people that, you know,

1006
01:19:43,180 --> 01:19:47,900
it's been said before and are we really going to do it this time, but I was serious about

1007
01:19:47,900 --> 01:19:53,700
it two years ago and I feel like we've really made a lot of progress in this area so I'm excited

1008
01:19:53,700 --> 01:19:54,740
to approve this item.

1009
01:19:58,060 --> 01:19:59,580
Thank you commissioner.

1010
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:12,940
I just have one question, and I'm in support of this, believe me or not, but I know we do need parking. I'm not a fan of just building a building of parking lot, but I do understand.

1011
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:21,500
This is not going to be reparking. It will be paid parking because I don't want to think we're just building this for every business.

1012
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:27,140
It has to be, it's kind of, that makes it an incentive for me.

1013
01:20:27,440 --> 01:20:32,260
The other concern that I have, and this is kind of a general question, and I don't

1014
01:20:32,260 --> 01:20:39,440
maybe if we need to amend the site plan or change it, I'll ask through the city manager.

1015
01:20:40,100 --> 01:20:44,040
I am not a fan of putting these hedges around parking lots.

1016
01:20:45,260 --> 01:20:51,000
We see it, I don't even know if every city requires them, or if this was just some kind of

1017
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:58,360
that we don't want to see cars. I have a concern with them for safety reasons. You know, and obviously

1018
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:05,040
maintenance reasons and I think we can lend ourselves to really just putting in a landscaping component like

1019
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:13,060
the rest of the street looks like. I don't know how my colleagues feel about it, but I think again going back to

1020
01:21:13,060 --> 01:21:18,100
This is more sometimes, so city manager or, you know,

1021
01:21:18,220 --> 01:21:21,820
CRI applicants, what are your thoughts on that?

1022
01:21:21,900 --> 01:21:23,960
And that would be my only question,

1023
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:26,620
and then I'll, I don't have any other handslet.

1024
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:27,780
Thank you.

1025
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:29,220
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

1026
01:21:29,700 --> 01:21:33,080
I will ask Vanessa for help with this only because I know

1027
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:39,140
that the landscape plan was vetted through the DRC process.

1028
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,420
I'm going to assume, and Vanessa can correct me

1029
01:21:42,420 --> 01:21:48,000
wrong, that there are probably requirements for landscape that match what we have on that plan,

1030
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:52,800
from some of the landscapes that you also see would also be in the bioswill, that we have,

1031
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:58,500
we have a very large bioswill on the west and on the south of the property as well,

1032
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:05,960
that we don't necessarily want people to walk into. So again, but I've got Vanessa, we're actually

1033
01:22:06,820 --> 01:22:13,960
Yes, so you are correct. That is a code requirements provided by the hedges along the

1034
01:22:14,660 --> 01:22:23,120
the perimeter of the parking lot. And it does ensure an aesthetic factor to it, but it is a code requirement.

1035
01:22:23,540 --> 01:22:31,000
It's not that the applicant just volunteered at the city did request that.

1036
01:22:34,140 --> 01:22:39,140
Well, I for one, again, I'm not against the bias way, I'm not against landscaping, but

1037
01:22:39,140 --> 01:22:42,440
the prime example is here around our cultural center.

1038
01:22:43,540 --> 01:22:50,620
To me, I would like to, but I guess we can't, if we would want to approve that with an amendment

1039
01:22:50,620 --> 01:22:55,700
to just stick to the landscaping plan throughout the corridor and not put a solid, I can't tell

1040
01:22:55,700 --> 01:22:57,780
what it looks like to be quite honest with you.

1041
01:22:57,780 --> 01:23:04,280
is it going to match the roadway, there's a picture there with an adjacent property that

1042
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:10,520
has kind of a very, where we put in a bed and then we put in trees, would it look like that

1043
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:14,140
or we actually building a solid hedge around this parking lot?

1044
01:23:16,710 --> 01:23:21,790
So the hedge, it should look very similar to what we already have in North East Third Street.

1045
01:23:23,050 --> 01:23:27,370
The hedge will be at the high required by code, which again, I'm going to make some assumptions

1046
01:23:27,370 --> 01:23:32,490
I'm going to assume that the hedge will not be any more than 36 inches tall, which is

1047
01:23:32,490 --> 01:23:38,410
typical to what cities have 24 to 36 inches tall and so it's, sorry, what's that, what's

1048
01:23:38,550 --> 01:23:46,990
It's right, right, so it's three to four feet, so we can end over to keep it at the 36 inch height,

1049
01:23:48,050 --> 01:23:54,590
but again, these are the code requirements that allow the plan to be approved by our DRC and so.

1050
01:23:55,330 --> 01:24:06,810
Okay, the question wasn't answered, and I don't know how my colleagues feel about it, if we could, in fact, on wait a minute, I see Commissioner Lazaro raised her hand.

1051
01:24:07,330 --> 01:24:10,130
For input on my question about the hedges commissioner.

1052
01:24:11,150 --> 01:24:13,050
Okay, wait, I think you're muted.

1053
01:24:14,630 --> 01:24:24,450
Yeah, I just, again, I know it's our code, but I don't know within our powers as that you're, you know, the body and jurisdiction and the desires of it.

1054
01:24:24,450 --> 01:24:33,130
is that possible tonight? If we decide to do it, I would ask the city attorney, if the commission,

1055
01:24:33,310 --> 01:24:39,240
if that's a lawful for the commission, I don't want to. I'd actually have to, I'd actually have to

1056
01:24:41,090 --> 01:24:54,430
look into that if you wanted to give me a few minutes and recessed. The problem is that sort of

1057
01:24:54,430 --> 01:24:59,990
But if we if we can't do it, I don't want to hold this up. I think it's a critical project. I'll commission our life

1058
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:11,680
If you have any input, maybe we'll talk about it under other, but apparently it has to be in, but Commissioner Lazarum, I reckon.

1059
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:19,160
Okay, we have to do it. I just wanted to see the picture again, just knowing to get an idea. That's okay.

1060
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:26,360
And I don't have a wide landscaping but just to put a big sketch all around the parking lot to me.

1061
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:29,980
I don't even know if that makes septid.

1062
01:25:30,620 --> 01:25:32,180
Yeah, I don't care for that either.

1063
01:25:32,500 --> 01:25:33,360
Oh, she's putting it up.

1064
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:36,040
I don't care for her hedges all the way around either.

1065
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:42,280
But if that's what I would like it to be consistent with whatever else they're doing on the street.

1066
01:25:42,820 --> 01:25:42,920
Yeah.

1067
01:25:43,740 --> 01:25:44,100
Okay.

1068
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:47,160
Do we want to hold out and see if we can change this?

1069
01:25:47,160 --> 01:26:02,380
I don't want to hold day I don't know. No, okay. All right, okay. As long as staff knows and legal knows, it's fully noted. And if there is a way to adjust it, we'll figure it out. I guess.

1070
01:26:04,380 --> 01:26:10,080
All right. To have Vice Commissioner Havayana.

1071
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:11,560
You had your hands up.

1072
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:14,760
It's a bit hard to read the presentation.

1073
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:17,500
Wasn't mentioned how many trees are being planted

1074
01:26:17,500 --> 01:26:20,480
as part of this project?

1075
01:26:20,700 --> 01:26:21,600
Or is it on the presentation?

1076
01:26:24,330 --> 01:26:26,270
It is on there, but it's very small.

1077
01:26:26,690 --> 01:26:27,950
I will let you know, just one second.

1078
01:26:29,090 --> 01:26:30,470
I'm sorry about that.

1079
01:26:30,630 --> 01:26:31,910
I'm always like this.

1080
01:26:32,530 --> 01:26:35,230
All right.

1081
01:26:35,830 --> 01:26:39,590
They have a total of 27 as required by code.

1082
01:26:39,790 --> 01:26:40,670
Thank you very much.

1083
01:26:40,670 --> 01:26:46,190
And Dr. Ellis is part of the CRA's three initiatives

1084
01:26:46,190 --> 01:26:48,550
to plant more trees throughout the CRA district.

1085
01:26:49,070 --> 01:26:49,990
Oh, absolutely.

1086
01:26:50,470 --> 01:26:52,190
So everything that we do, we want to maximize

1087
01:26:52,190 --> 01:26:56,010
the amount of trees that we have as a CRA board has heard.

1088
01:26:56,070 --> 01:26:58,990
We say one of the initiatives that will be

1089
01:26:58,990 --> 01:27:00,910
a part of the $20 dollar project for landscape

1090
01:27:00,910 --> 01:27:05,410
will be us trying to plant probably over 3,000 new trees

1091
01:27:05,410 --> 01:27:07,270
in our city over the next five years.

1092
01:27:07,270 --> 01:27:09,990
So this, so every additional tree that we have,

1093
01:27:10,110 --> 01:27:11,150
we lens to that.

1094
01:27:11,290 --> 01:27:12,470
I mean, you're watching that.

1095
01:27:13,670 --> 01:27:16,090
And I prefer trees to head just to.

1096
01:27:16,430 --> 01:27:18,250
So we'll talk about it on dear others.

1097
01:27:18,930 --> 01:27:20,650
Any other questions of the applicant?

1098
01:27:22,210 --> 01:27:22,510
OK.

1099
01:27:26,470 --> 01:27:27,730
I can't.

1100
01:27:36,440 --> 01:27:36,760
OK.

1101
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:38,360
I'll entertain a motion.

1102
01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:41,440
I think I've thought of the lines across the teams.

1103
01:27:42,860 --> 01:27:43,960
A motion to approve.

1104
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:45,780
Do we need to follow certain language?

1105
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:46,780
Yeah, I would.

1106
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:47,580
No.

1107
01:27:47,580 --> 01:27:54,020
You know motion to approve this official on this one because we have a resolution. Thank you. Yeah, thanks for that asking that

1108
01:27:55,440 --> 01:28:02,420
Vice mayor. I figured based on the confident evidence of what's pretend got it out of you, but we don't have to so I have a motion from

1109
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:04,140
Commissioner having

1110
01:28:05,440 --> 01:28:09,800
Commissioner Tom and a second by the vice mayor. I'm the way

1111
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:15,840
I'm sorry mayor and I'm okay. All right. Could I could I have a real call place?

1112
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:18,920
Yes.

1113
01:28:19,900 --> 01:28:20,680
Mr. Havayana.

1114
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:22,900
Yes.

1115
01:28:24,540 --> 01:28:24,700
Yes.

1116
01:28:24,700 --> 01:28:25,220
Mr. Nazru.

1117
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:26,980
Mr. Havayana.

1118
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:28,120
Yes.

1119
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:29,200
Mary Cooper.

1120
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:30,140
Yes.

1121
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:31,220
Mr. Havayana.

1122
01:28:32,100 --> 01:28:32,680
Yes.

1123
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:33,620
Thank you.

1124
01:28:33,740 --> 01:28:38,040
Thank you, staff, for your presentations and congratulations CRA.

1125
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:41,160
You got another project done.

1126
01:28:41,860 --> 01:28:42,140
OK.

1127
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:43,560
We're going to do it to resume.

1128
01:28:47,060 --> 01:28:59,480
I'd like to ask if this commission would please consider moving my item to the end because the speaker I have is an ER doctor and she has set her alarm for a later time.

1129
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:07,560
So I'd like to give her at least an opportunity until we're done with all of these other items to speak. So I would ask if we move my item to the end.

1130
01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:20,560
At least to, I guess after D after C, after C, we'll give you a picture after C, and then we'll, yeah, because I believe

1131
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:36,880
goal stream is also waiting and then on the call and they are the subject of yes, but I, I'm so I'm going to, if I have to make the motion, I will, but if we could just get, since it was my item, if we could just get consensus to date and fill after I see.

1132
01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:37,740
I

1133
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:51,280
like you to move because there wasn't, I actually asked to move it up already and it was denied and I appreciate it, but you're going to make a motion.

1134
01:29:51,900 --> 01:29:59,980
Okay, I'll have somebody else that's right up.

1135
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:05,400

1136
01:30:05,660 --> 01:30:06,340
Vice Mayor Butler.

1137
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:16,980
After item C, in other words, we'll do the city manager contract, and we'll just play the program,

1138
01:30:17,260 --> 01:30:18,640
and then we'll do it.

1139
01:30:18,940 --> 01:30:20,840
Are not available, then we'll move forward.

1140
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:24,220
I'd appreciate it. Thank you. I motion and second.

1141
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:26,120
Could I have a roll call, please?

1142
01:30:27,660 --> 01:30:28,380
Yes.

1143
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:29,900

Vice sir.

1152
01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:42,460
Okay.

1153
01:30:46,860 --> 01:30:47,720
Item B.

1154
01:30:48,100 --> 01:30:59,380
A resolution on the mayor and the city commission of the city.

1155
01:30:59,380 --> 01:31:07,660
that's the date. This is brought forward by the City Commission. He has already been voted on

1156
01:31:07,660 --> 01:31:14,120
unanimously as our City. Wait, do you want to, Commissioner Lazarus, the one down,

1157
01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:18,200
no, no, my hands are down, sorry. Okay, no, but I know you are present.

1158
01:31:18,460 --> 01:31:24,840
Refreshing on the vote for us hiring? Yes. Was that the last meeting? It was last meeting.

1159
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:27,420
No, I was not. But that's okay. I hope this meeting.

1160
01:31:27,420 --> 01:31:31,080
Would you want to okay, because I was going to say if you wanted to

1161
01:31:31,820 --> 01:31:34,880
Okay, all right, thank you

1162
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:40,360
Okay, so we have the item be for us

1163
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:42,720
Does anybody want to speak on the item?

1164
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:45,860
Dr. Earl would you like to be recognized?

1165
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:50,140
I'm a city manager Dr. Earl.

1166
01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:51,420
Would you prefer her?

1167
01:31:52,780 --> 01:31:53,980
Dr. Earl is fine.

1168
01:31:54,420 --> 01:31:55,440
Madam, that's fine.

1169
01:31:55,440 --> 01:31:57,000
I'm very simple.

1170
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:03,540
Again, thank you very much members of the Commission for the faith that you had

1171
01:32:03,540 --> 01:32:08,940
in need to have me serve in this capacity as a city manager.

1172
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:14,800
Tonight you have the contract before you and please let me know.

1173
01:32:15,060 --> 01:32:18,140
If you have any questions and other I or the city attorney,

1174
01:32:18,140 --> 01:32:19,740
I can answer them.

1175
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:20,880
So thank you for the opportunity.

1176
01:32:23,020 --> 01:32:31,680
I just want to go on record because as usual, our city manager, Dr. Earl, I'm going to say

1177
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:38,800
formal, this is the formal hearing. That on record that he is actually taking a reduction

1178
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:48,120
in salary. After speaking with him, I had some angst about that, but I understand I may bring

1179
01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:53,220
of the topic under our Hallendale Beach Ceraing meeting.

1180
01:32:53,660 --> 01:32:57,580
He will be compensated at what dollar amount.

1181
01:32:59,660 --> 01:33:01,760
$200 and $6,000.

1182
01:33:02,420 --> 01:33:02,800
OK.

1183
01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:08,880
And he does include with all that health benefits

1184
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:14,460
car, phone, the traditional compensation for a sitting

1185
01:33:14,460 --> 01:33:14,920
management.

1186
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:24,280
So I do want to commend him on that and understanding because COVID and everything that's been

1187
01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:27,360
transpiring and I appreciate his service,

1188
01:33:29,380 --> 01:33:30,500
Vice Mayor Butler.

1189
01:33:31,440 --> 01:33:31,980
Thank you, Mayor.

1190
01:33:32,480 --> 01:33:33,840
First of all, echo your comments.

1191
01:33:34,060 --> 01:33:43,900
I just want to say how happy I am for you, Dr. Earl, and frankly for the city that you

1192
01:33:43,900 --> 01:33:45,520
are now our city manager.

1193
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:52,460
I know you're wearing a lot of hats, so we can call you interim director, executive, I'm sorry,

1194
01:33:52,620 --> 01:33:58,060
let's executive director of the CRA, and city manager Dr. Earl now. Is that a good title?

1195
01:33:58,600 --> 01:34:05,400
Yeah, there you go. You're doing a lot now, and I really appreciate everything you've done.

1196
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:12,160
I'm really proud of this city commission of the city and happy for everybody, but you've

1197
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:20,480
to take on this challenge. It is a challenge. I'm really thrilled to move this forward. Mayors

1198
01:34:20,480 --> 01:34:23,560
it okay if I make a motion to approve? Absolutely.

1199
01:34:24,240 --> 01:34:32,160
So moved. I can have a motion and I have a second. With no further discussion, could I have a

1200
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:36,160
roll? I would like to make one comment. I want to say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

1201
01:34:41,480 --> 01:34:42,000
I'm

1202
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:47,220
the city manager should get a lot more money considering the mess that he's walking into.

1203
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:51,640
So I want to thank him also for stepping up.

1204
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:53,460
I know this is not an easy job.

1205
01:34:54,380 --> 01:34:59,940
I think if we had the money, I would ask that we pay you more, but I know the stress that you

1206
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:11,900
I want to thank you for doing this. I know this is not a job that I would want under good circumstances, so thank you again for taking this. I appreciate it.

1207
01:35:12,220 --> 01:35:13,560
Thank you.

1208
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:16,680
Thank you commissioner. Could I have a roll call, please?

1209
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:17,860
I'm going to show you the top.

1210
01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:20,740
Mr. Lazarum.

1211
01:35:21,060 --> 01:35:21,260
Yes.

1212
01:35:22,340 --> 01:35:22,800
Mayor Cooper.

1213
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:23,760
Yes.

1214
01:35:24,460 --> 01:35:25,060
Mr. Mayor Butler.

1215
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:25,720
Yes.

1216
01:35:29,940 --> 01:35:32,580
Thank you very, very much, Dr. Rob.

1217
01:35:32,580 --> 01:35:33,300
Thank you.

1218
01:35:34,340 --> 01:35:34,600
Thank you.

1219
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:34,740
Thank you.

1220
01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:36,140
All right.

1221
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:38,100
Item C.

1222
01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:41,460
A resolution of the mayor and the city commission of the city of

1223
01:35:41,460 --> 01:35:45,920
Helen Del Beach, Florida adopting the 2021 state legislative program.

1224
01:35:46,540 --> 01:35:51,720
As it's legislative priorities authorizing legislative programs to be presented to the

1225
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:58,440
state legislative delegation. For consideration during the 2021 legislative session, I'm going to give

1226
01:35:58,440 --> 01:36:04,960
direction to ballot partners incorporated as their program and providing an effective date.

1227
01:36:05,180 --> 01:36:09,840
I'm going to turn this over to the staff as well. I'm going to turn the gavel to

1228
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:13,060
Vice Mayor Butler as I have to take a break.

1229
01:36:15,370 --> 01:36:19,730
Thank you very much. And there this week we have

1230
01:36:19,730 --> 01:36:26,230
Stephanie Griffin here from Ballard Parkers, Stephanie's going to give us a presentation on what

1231
01:36:26,230 --> 01:36:33,470
has transpired today, what we can expect in this year's session. She will inform you of what

1232
01:36:33,470 --> 01:36:41,030
was submitted to the House here in Tallahassee, and also provide opportunities for the Commission

1233
01:36:41,830 --> 01:36:48,410
to make recommendations to what we could submit to the Senate in Tallahassee. So Stephanie,

1234
01:36:48,410 --> 01:36:55,410
Thank you, and I also want to thank ACM Sandovala and ACM Club for working very closely with Stephanie on

1235
01:36:55,950 --> 01:36:59,570
I'm getting this presentation and information together, so thank you very much.

1236
01:37:01,730 --> 01:37:02,690
Stephanie, you're welcome.

1237
01:37:03,030 --> 01:37:08,290
All right, I'm officially unmute and thank you so much for having me here with all of you today,

1238
01:37:08,410 --> 01:37:10,230
and then I'll tell you how to see office.

1239
01:37:10,750 --> 01:37:12,370
And unfortunately, it's a little later.

1240
01:37:12,610 --> 01:37:18,770
It's a pretty view out in the window, but it's a great opportunity to get to represent home of you again.

1241
01:37:18,770 --> 01:37:22,490
Congratulations, Dr. City Manager,

1242
01:37:23,690 --> 01:37:25,470
the CRA director of Earl.

1243
01:37:25,910 --> 01:37:27,210
That was my pleasure, sir.

1244
01:37:27,590 --> 01:37:30,030
The congratulations on it's official,

1245
01:37:30,190 --> 01:37:32,670
and I think you're my fourth city manager.

1246
01:37:32,910 --> 01:37:35,310
Since I started here, maybe third city manager,

1247
01:37:36,170 --> 01:37:38,830
but definitely the best and their throughout the whole time.

1248
01:37:39,010 --> 01:37:40,250
So I appreciate that.

1249
01:37:40,710 --> 01:37:41,210
Thank you.

1250
01:37:41,910 --> 01:37:43,370
And then, and then, and vice-ner.

1251
01:37:43,910 --> 01:37:47,670
So, first, obviously to the moment,

1252
01:37:47,670 --> 01:37:53,790
you had a lot of meetings get delayed and things get moved around, but fortunately we had

1253
01:37:53,790 --> 01:38:02,050
a pretty extensive legislative agenda and in tele-hacete they are very good at continuing

1254
01:38:02,050 --> 01:38:06,510
to do the same things over and over and over and especially as of the needs to preemption

1255
01:38:06,510 --> 01:38:13,490
and control and basically taking any limited powers that we made from you and then messing it

1256
01:38:13,490 --> 01:38:18,470
So, like all other years, they're continuing to do that this year.

1257
01:38:18,610 --> 01:38:22,350
They have a couple of new little projects under their belt.

1258
01:38:23,030 --> 01:38:28,750
So, the legislative agenda that you have in your packet is similar to ones that we've done in the past.

1259
01:38:29,110 --> 01:38:36,670
There are a couple of issues based on either resolutions that you did or recent bills that have popped up that we're going to answer it.

1260
01:38:37,790 --> 01:38:42,370
The official legislative session starts on March 2nd.

1261
01:38:42,370 --> 01:38:46,430
So legislators can buy a bill all the way until March 2nd.

1262
01:38:46,770 --> 01:38:49,970
They had to already have them in drafting, but that's more of a technical issue.

1263
01:38:50,390 --> 01:38:56,410
So every day we see new bills pop up that are coming up, getting records of committees, and being heard.

1264
01:38:57,390 --> 01:39:01,030
So just as an example, you may have seen an alert about it tomorrow.

1265
01:39:01,490 --> 01:39:05,710
They're hearing a bill that would pream local government in Teltsville, 403,

1266
01:39:05,990 --> 01:39:11,850
and it's a bill that would pream local government from regulating any kind of home businesses.

1267
01:39:11,850 --> 01:39:17,050
based on like licensure, like dealing home business licensures and stuff in the city.

1268
01:39:17,110 --> 01:39:19,750
I live in does that and the cities do that.

1269
01:39:20,710 --> 01:39:24,210
So, you know, we're hopeful that it will fail.

1270
01:39:24,590 --> 01:39:32,310
What we see on almost every single branch you vote so far have been a party line vote with the exception of Vancouver.

1271
01:39:33,830 --> 01:39:37,610
But we'll dig in on that a little bit more in just a second.

1272
01:39:37,610 --> 01:39:45,410
As of today, we have about 700 bills filed in each of the chambers, and there's about, I guess,

1273
01:39:45,750 --> 01:39:50,450
where is it about 1200 appropriate, various different appropriations, fairfiles.

1274
01:39:51,750 --> 01:39:59,110
I was trying to see before we got on the call just how much the total number is that folks are asking for in their budget bills.

1275
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:07,900
I think out of for today, yeah, but as of the last time I looked at it, it was roughly about $750 million.

1276
01:40:08,300 --> 01:40:17,120
Some people are asking for, oh, I apologize. It was actually $1.2 billion of people are asking for.

1277
01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:21,320
So, you know, obviously, just like at the local level, instead of your tough year.

1278
01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:24,820
And resources have been to do with COVID expenses,

1279
01:40:24,840 --> 01:40:28,940
are going to be strained, and just like you are locally.

1280
01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:31,100
There are training resources.

1281
01:40:31,460 --> 01:40:33,540
With that being said, we're looking forward to seeing

1282
01:40:33,540 --> 01:40:35,240
what's happening at the federal level,

1283
01:40:35,460 --> 01:40:37,380
and what type of resources might be coming down,

1284
01:40:38,480 --> 01:40:42,020
and watching for every single opportunity that we can possibly

1285
01:40:42,020 --> 01:40:43,460
send your way.

1286
01:40:44,020 --> 01:40:48,500
At this moment, we filed four appropriations bills in the house,

1287
01:40:48,500 --> 01:40:50,600
and we'll be filing five in the Senate

1288
01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:54,580
And any additional that you choose to add.

1289
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:56,880
Obviously, Austin Hepburn, Senior Center,

1290
01:40:57,100 --> 01:40:58,480
is our number one top priority.

1291
01:40:59,420 --> 01:41:01,640
We already got with Senator Sargell, who

1292
01:41:01,640 --> 01:41:04,120
is the budget chair in the Senate about it today.

1293
01:41:04,480 --> 01:41:05,960
We'll be meeting with the budget chair

1294
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:07,080
in the house about it tomorrow.

1295
01:41:07,300 --> 01:41:10,180
It is my number one top priority on behalf of the city.

1296
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:13,780
And we're going to do all of the time to get that one.

1297
01:41:13,780 --> 01:41:16,640
I'll fund it in addition to the other three major working

1298
01:41:16,640 --> 01:41:24,340
One is, and I'm just looking into the back pages five and six, that after school tutorial

1299
01:41:24,340 --> 01:41:28,400
arrangement program, I can only imagine the best moment for it now than it ever happened

1300
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:28,980
before.

1301
01:41:29,700 --> 01:41:35,500
And I'm not sure if you're doing those in person yet on either the senior center or on the

1302
01:41:35,500 --> 01:41:39,560
after school program, but having those in place are going to be so important.

1303
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:44,940
The alternative water supply we have in the process water products are going to be hard

1304
01:41:44,940 --> 01:41:48,820
year they told us that they're very limited and the amount of money that they're going to

1305
01:41:48,820 --> 01:41:53,040
be dedicated to water projects but we always fight for them and advocate for them and

1306
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:59,120
this isn't the one because it's in the system. And ready to go. And then the product that

1307
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:05,220
strands safety and student safety program is a project that we applied for last year. We're going

1308
01:42:05,220 --> 01:42:10,940
to apply for it again this year and we're going to try to work through that. I think

1309
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:17,800
You know, as with any challenges, any budget challenges, you never know where the restrictions

1310
01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:22,120
are going to go, and where the limits are going to be, but I'd like to feel like this

1311
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:25,900
is going to be a good year for transportation projects, and so we're going to work hard on

1312
01:42:25,900 --> 01:42:26,400
that one.

1313
01:42:26,860 --> 01:42:30,420
In addition, there's a fifth project that we're going to be filing.

1314
01:42:30,620 --> 01:42:35,920
This is a new project, it's the electrical electric vehicle parking and charging facility

1315
01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:40,480
program, and I know that that's something that's been on your wish list for a long time.

1316
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:46,860
So Dr. Earl, I don't know if you've already shared this on with the commissioner, there's

1317
01:42:46,860 --> 01:42:51,920
anything that you need to share on that project, but I'm definitely getting up to speed on it

1318
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:54,400
and learning about it and we'll be getting that in a short time.

1319
01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:59,880
So that said, I can pause for a second.

1320
01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:03,860
I can talk to you a little bit about vacation rentals and a couple of the other bills

1321
01:43:03,860 --> 01:43:07,200
have come up recently, but I think I'll just pause for one second and

1322
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:09,540
he's here with questions and then we can talk a little bit about some of the

1323
01:43:09,540 --> 01:43:10,800
bills that have been going through.

1324
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:20,360
Mayer, did you want me to? You're good.

1325
01:43:20,600 --> 01:43:25,200
Go ahead. Okay. I don't see any hands right there for you. Please continue.

1326
01:43:30,540 --> 01:43:37,460
We can this week, Airbnb or the navigation signs of bill was heard. It did pass on a party

1327
01:43:37,460 --> 01:43:42,060
line, but I wanted to share with you a little bit about what's in the current bill.

1328
01:43:42,060 --> 01:43:47,160
And then I can send this language over to you guys more specifically so you can take a look at it.

1329
01:43:47,740 --> 01:43:47,740
Um,

1330
01:43:50,060 --> 01:43:54,420
this one, uh, it's more, it's more similar to the side of Bill from last year.

1331
01:43:54,940 --> 01:44:01,940
It allows the local vacation rental regulations only if applied uniformly to all residential locations.

1332
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:11,520
Um, it adds to the scope of the state preemption and it acts as scope of the vacation rental bills.

1333
01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:17,120
I'm trying to see, it defines the term an advertising platform.

1334
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:23,280
It grants the state for regulating any advertising platforms.

1335
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:27,680
This is the same bill that you guys have always hated,

1336
01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:32,320
which really restricts your abilities to put importance in.

1337
01:44:33,260 --> 01:44:38,660
What I do think is different in this one is it gives a little bit of flexibility

1338
01:44:40,580 --> 01:44:46,620
as it relates to condos and cooperatives and homeowners associations and how they can restrict

1339
01:44:46,620 --> 01:44:51,740
properties, which I think is a little bit helpful in a holiday that makes specifically

1340
01:44:51,740 --> 01:44:57,820
as that homeowners associations condo associations, those rules are not crimson by this law,

1341
01:44:58,060 --> 01:44:59,940
which I think is a little bit more helpful to you, but obviously.

1342
01:45:02,460 --> 01:45:08,140
So we can take you to work on this issue and watch it, and it'll be a jump ball at the end of session on regional.

1343
01:45:12,450 --> 01:45:14,710
Okay. Thanks, Beth. I'm good.

1344
01:45:15,130 --> 01:45:16,790
But you're good for you. Are you taking it back?

1345
01:45:17,130 --> 01:45:17,250
Okay.

1346
01:45:17,450 --> 01:45:21,810
Yeah, let's take it back. Cause I have a question. Hey, Stephanie, it's great to see you. Happy new year.

1347
01:45:21,890 --> 01:45:24,650
We'll have to see you survive November.

1348
01:45:26,130 --> 01:45:26,970
This move, okay.

1349
01:45:27,870 --> 01:45:31,990
I just have a question about the process for water applications.

1350
01:45:31,990 --> 01:45:38,330
are they doing like a blanket like I know in the past we've had hearings on them and

1351
01:45:38,330 --> 01:45:43,970
we would go and then they'd rank them. How is that being handled? Because they usually

1352
01:45:43,970 --> 01:45:49,010
put a pot of money and then you're ranked or we're in a ranking or there has to be not not

1353
01:45:49,010 --> 01:45:55,210
for us. Yes, you have gone through that process. I believe that a specific manager is

1354
01:45:55,990 --> 01:46:03,410
is more familiar with navigating that process on your behalf and I do know the water project.

1355
01:46:03,590 --> 01:46:07,190
Because that's a really part of the legislative process that happens ahead of time.

1356
01:46:07,410 --> 01:46:08,950
Going through the right of my process.

1357
01:46:09,350 --> 01:46:12,370
I do believe that the water project that we submitted is ranked.

1358
01:46:12,790 --> 01:46:13,490
Is that accurate?

1359
01:46:17,080 --> 01:46:18,720
Yes, I believe that is a project.

1360
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:19,340
The process?

1361
01:46:21,840 --> 01:46:22,160
Okay.

1362
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:30,680
I believe the last year, I don't know if the ranking stays the same or if it changes,

1363
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:37,540
but I believe that last year we were in the top 30 or so, but they only went to about

1364
01:46:37,540 --> 01:46:44,520
my team as far as funding went, and so, that sound about right, I apologize that it

1365
01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:46,600
don't have it sitting right in front of me.

1366
01:46:47,380 --> 01:46:57,820
No problem. Yes, that is the process. It's a breaking process and we just need to wait for them to take to produce the list and that's how we'll find out.

1367
01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:01,540
They redo it every year, right? It's not into your process to win your process.

1368
01:47:01,860 --> 01:47:02,560
Win your process.

1369
01:47:02,920 --> 01:47:03,280
Yeah, really.

1370
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:09,140
So I know that as soon as she gets out, she usually sends it over to us, and then we're usually fighting water.

1371
01:47:09,360 --> 01:47:11,220
It's always the last thing that they put into the budget.

1372
01:47:11,220 --> 01:47:25,880
You know, the last time I went through that they actually had, we were really close to ranking and then there was, you know, they cut the funding or what did something. So that's why I was curious to see and we're ranking was.

1373
01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:34,900
Um, you think the fact that it's just what we would consider shovel ready projects is going to be really helpful for us and good hopefully the folks help.

1374
01:47:35,340 --> 01:47:35,480
All right.

1375
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:37,880
And, um,

1376
01:47:39,420 --> 01:47:42,140
I need to realize for us in today, um,

1377
01:47:42,660 --> 01:47:42,820
I'm sorry.

1378
01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:43,200
I'm sorry.

1379
01:47:43,200 --> 01:47:43,340
I'm sorry.

1380
01:47:43,340 --> 01:47:43,400
I'm sorry.

1381
01:47:43,520 --> 01:47:43,580
I'm sorry.

1382
01:47:43,620 --> 01:47:43,660
I'm sorry.

1383
01:47:43,660 --> 01:47:43,800
I'm sorry.

1384
01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:44,500
I'm sorry.

1385
01:47:44,620 --> 01:47:54,880
I'm sorry.

1386
01:47:58,560 --> 01:48:10,040
What is happening with the governor's bill regarding the first amendment and protesting and criminalizing that for lack of a better term?

1387
01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:11,600
Any idea at this point?

1388
01:48:12,060 --> 01:48:12,920
Yes, yes, yes.

1389
01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:14,300
I actually, I had one in.

1390
01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:20,360
I was checking that right when you, I was about to see if it had been referred to the second committee act.

1391
01:48:23,730 --> 01:48:23,970
I'm sorry.

1392
01:48:23,970 --> 01:48:25,070
I should have asked you an advance.

1393
01:48:25,070 --> 01:48:27,350
No, no, no, no, no. It's perfect. It's perfect.

1394
01:48:27,510 --> 01:48:31,670
Bro, we were talking. I saw something popped up on my screen with an attack, popped up about it.

1395
01:48:31,670 --> 01:48:37,030
But it was just saying that it was in a, so where, where that felt is right now is in the house.

1396
01:48:37,270 --> 01:48:42,290
It was what, obviously, it's House Bill 1. It was very first Bill, um, that went through the

1397
01:48:42,290 --> 01:48:55,050
leg, the legislative process. It was the very first Bill that was heard on January 27th in

1398
01:48:55,050 --> 01:49:02,530
It has to go to the revenue estimating conference to see how much it's going to cost and and what kind of a fiscal impact it would have

1399
01:49:02,530 --> 01:49:10,470
So it was in criminal justice impact committee on the 15th. We don't take votes, but they do come up with like a revenue estimating.

1400
01:49:11,450 --> 01:49:13,530
So I hope is that it doesn't.

1401
01:49:13,870 --> 01:49:18,670
So how would you be having a fiscal impact on this?

1402
01:49:18,730 --> 01:49:21,710
I mean, where do you see that being the issue?

1403
01:49:21,710 --> 01:49:23,330
adding more police.

1404
01:49:25,910 --> 01:49:30,930
So, I don't, I apologize, I didn't actually look at the factoring conference, but yes.

1405
01:49:31,070 --> 01:49:34,450
They'll look at any single thing. Do they have to hire one more police officer?

1406
01:49:34,730 --> 01:49:38,470
Do they have to, um, with require rewriting model?

1407
01:49:38,690 --> 01:49:44,210
So, like, any single aspect of the fiscal impact and the goal, obviously, if you're a

1408
01:49:44,210 --> 01:49:51,250
to this bill is to have it be as expensive as possible because in a typical fiscal year it gives

1409
01:49:51,250 --> 01:49:55,210
it gives kind of the moderate Republicans more of an excuse to vote against it.

1410
01:49:55,290 --> 01:49:59,790
With that being said, I do think that we're going to continue to hear this and do think that the

1411
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:10,340
In unifying reasons to hear it throughout the legislative session, and I'm hopeful that some of the more moderate voices in the Senate side will, so that's definitely coming along.

1412
01:50:10,820 --> 01:50:18,600
We're also seeing a lot of sheriff's police officers across the state coming out in opposition to it.

1413
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:19,680
That's an opposition?

1414
01:50:20,260 --> 01:50:20,700
Yes.

1415
01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:24,620
And to get there, a progressive sheriff's,

1416
01:50:24,620 --> 01:50:26,320
like, Sheriff Cloney and Broward,

1417
01:50:27,260 --> 01:50:28,540
the sheriff in Orange County,

1418
01:50:28,820 --> 01:50:31,880
the sheriff in Hillsborough County,

1419
01:50:31,880 --> 01:50:34,220
I believe it was that are coming out in opposition

1420
01:50:34,220 --> 01:50:35,940
to this day, and that people have the right,

1421
01:50:35,940 --> 01:50:39,040
you know, to be featured in a police officer

1422
01:50:39,820 --> 01:50:40,800
shouldn't be, you know,

1423
01:50:40,940 --> 01:50:42,900
in the business of surrounding police.

1424
01:50:43,660 --> 01:50:43,880
Okay.

1425
01:50:45,740 --> 01:50:47,540
So, I'm trying to think if there was another one,

1426
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:50,240
because I can always ask you offline.

1427
01:50:50,900 --> 01:50:54,500
Yeah, and I'm sure the, you know, I mean, if this is something that you're

1428
01:50:54,500 --> 01:50:58,200
lying fortunate or other lying fortunate or opposed to, it would be good for them to

1429
01:50:58,200 --> 01:51:02,440
stand up and have their voices heard on it. And so, you know, if that's something that would

1430
01:51:02,440 --> 01:51:06,640
be appropriate in your police department or others, and you wanted to chat to them, I think

1431
01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:07,220
probably would be the thing.

1432
01:51:07,320 --> 01:51:12,760
Well, just for the politics of our legislature, if it's a governor's bill, do you find

1433
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:17,000
that that, obviously, if people want to have their bills heard, that they're going to

1434
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:21,380
being more inclined to vote for this down party lines?

1435
01:51:22,900 --> 01:51:27,320
Yes. Of course, anything that, you know,

1436
01:51:27,380 --> 01:51:30,300
as it gets closer to budget time, definitely, you know,

1437
01:51:30,300 --> 01:51:31,800
where the governor falls is important.

1438
01:51:33,120 --> 01:51:33,600
But, you know what?

1439
01:51:34,040 --> 01:51:38,140
I also think that over the past month,

1440
01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:41,180
our country has gone through a big shift in a big change

1441
01:51:41,180 --> 01:51:44,700
and I think that we're seeing some more moderates on both sides

1442
01:51:44,700 --> 01:51:47,000
that are just kind of standing up and saying wrong and wrong.

1443
01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:50,500
And so, you know, I'm hopeful folks do a right thing

1444
01:51:50,500 --> 01:51:51,700
that protect the rights.

1445
01:51:51,900 --> 01:51:54,320
Thank you. And they're not doing too many meetings in person.

1446
01:51:54,500 --> 01:51:55,680
I would imagine this year.

1447
01:51:55,720 --> 01:51:57,840
No, so they're doing no meetings in person.

1448
01:51:57,940 --> 01:52:01,180
And they just started really hearing bills this week.

1449
01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:04,060
And a little bit last week, but up until now,

1450
01:52:04,100 --> 01:52:05,880
they were just doing interim committee meetings.

1451
01:52:05,980 --> 01:52:09,680
It's really, it's really, really weird up here.

1452
01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:13,520
All meetings are taking, I mean, you need

1453
01:52:13,520 --> 01:52:16,740
and street corners, restaurants, and the evening.

1454
01:52:17,700 --> 01:52:19,620
You're not allowed in the capital on the set

1455
01:52:19,620 --> 01:52:21,720
of side at all on the outside.

1456
01:52:21,720 --> 01:52:25,600
You have to be brought in by an aid and walked out by an aid.

1457
01:52:26,140 --> 01:52:29,100
So it's definitely a unique experience.

1458
01:52:31,220 --> 01:52:31,940
It's interesting.

1459
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:35,920
Well, thank you for your work up there.

1460
01:52:36,160 --> 01:52:37,760
Oh, definitely. Thank you so much.

1461
01:52:38,320 --> 01:52:41,320
Hi. Anybody else with questions?

1462
01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:44,000
Commissioner Havagata?

1463
01:52:44,820 --> 01:52:45,700
No, I don't have a question.

1464
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:46,300
I'm from Esgratman.

1465
01:52:46,440 --> 01:52:49,360
I just wanted to make the amendment to the package.

1466
01:52:49,740 --> 01:52:50,840
Then I mentioned earlier.

1467
01:52:52,520 --> 01:52:53,390
Pages it on.

1468
01:52:54,140 --> 01:52:55,720
Phase two at the bottom.

1469
01:52:58,900 --> 01:53:01,280
The sentence support legislation related to a

1470
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:03,900
Mending Current FDEP regulations for

1471
01:53:03,900 --> 01:53:06,720
Hardbottom monitoring and mitigation related to beach

1472
01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:07,820
Re-nursment projects.

1473
01:53:07,880 --> 01:53:09,840
That makes a fairly needed re-nursment projects

1474
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:16,280
cause prohibitive. I think this is kind of very much an opposition to the work that we've

1475
01:53:16,280 --> 01:53:17,300
done. Sorry one second.

1476
01:53:19,790 --> 01:53:23,750
Sorry my dog. It's it's very much an opposition to the work that

1477
01:53:23,750 --> 01:53:30,110
we've done protecting our cruel our coral reefs. And I really don't think the cause prohibitive

1478
01:53:30,870 --> 01:53:36,430
nature of protecting coral reefs really affects us as a city at least because per vulnerability

1479
01:53:36,430 --> 01:53:42,650
and adoption plan that we adopted last August, it shows that since 1971 we've had nine

1480
01:53:42,650 --> 01:53:47,250
reimbursement projects and the city has only had to contribute financially five times.

1481
01:53:47,850 --> 01:53:53,870
That's $5 million over 50 years and of all nine projects, the total has been 78 million.

1482
01:53:53,950 --> 01:53:58,970
That's the feds and say and we have covered. So we've only covered five million of that 70

1483
01:53:58,970 --> 01:54:05,470
and that's not a reason to reduce our environmental protections to have reimbursement.

1484
01:54:06,430 --> 01:54:09,570
So I would like, if we could remove this sentence,

1485
01:54:13,920 --> 01:54:14,340
I mean,

1486
01:54:14,480 --> 01:54:15,420
how far we need a motion?

1487
01:54:16,240 --> 01:54:19,420
Yes, I mean, I make a motion to remove this sentence.

1488
01:54:19,660 --> 01:54:20,620
I mean,

1489
01:54:25,650 --> 01:54:30,130
you know, being history and being like I said earlier, I don't have a problem with monitoring.

1490
01:54:32,930 --> 01:54:35,710
But again, that's what they've done in the past.

1491
01:54:36,230 --> 01:54:39,850
I don't know how much it costs for that monitoring, but again,

1492
01:54:43,650 --> 01:54:48,810
I agree with you, the certain extent there has not been a vast impact for Halendale Beach's

1493
01:54:48,810 --> 01:54:56,730
reefs, but I don't know, you do have a reef across and an actual dive spot here in Halendale Beach.

1494
01:54:56,730 --> 01:54:58,910
I don't know if you're aware of that.

1495
01:54:59,130 --> 01:54:59,950
I don't even have a staff.

1496
01:55:03,080 --> 01:55:08,600
There's actually a dive spot off the coast of Hallendale Beach for diving.

1497
01:55:11,100 --> 01:55:20,680
I would hate to, if it is causing any concern, I don't know the quality of the sand or what's going

1498
01:55:20,680 --> 01:55:26,120
happened as long as there's monitoring, I feel more comfortable. I, I,

1499
01:55:28,580 --> 01:55:40,420
I, I think our sees are so fragile that as long as they, and that involved like divers going down and monitoring. So I guess you're saying you don't want them to even pay for that.

1500
01:55:40,860 --> 01:55:50,620
No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying I guess I'm confused what your goal is. No, the goal is because otherwise it sounds like we're in favor of mitigation of removing the coral rates to hard bottom.

1501
01:55:53,160 --> 01:55:56,420
are the way it's written, that's why it keeps reading it over and over so on.

1502
01:55:56,920 --> 01:55:57,520
It doesn't.

1503
01:55:57,960 --> 01:55:59,840
The sentence, the sentence suggest less monitoring.

1504
01:56:01,080 --> 01:56:02,220
It's a if you.

1505
01:56:02,360 --> 01:56:07,360
Maybe it would be helpful if we hear from our greenish-ish nerves for neither?

1506
01:56:08,780 --> 01:56:11,020
Yeah, it sounds like this made us unsi-bけど.

1507
01:56:11,020 --> 01:56:16,720
But every, what does it sound like, this might be a relic of an old time when you know...

1508
01:56:17,220 --> 01:56:20,440
We can remove it and not really have a position.

1509
01:56:20,440 --> 01:56:25,400
what this position is saying is that you support deregulation to make it more

1510
01:56:25,400 --> 01:56:30,160
cost effective for each week. Yeah, that's basically what it is. So if you get rid of

1511
01:56:30,160 --> 01:56:37,400
it, you just want to eliminate the toss. I think the sentence is unnecessary. Okay, I got

1512
01:56:37,400 --> 01:56:45,700
it. Oh my god. Oh my god. All right. I was reading it the other way. Any other questions?

1513
01:56:45,700 --> 01:56:52,520
And do you have a motion and Commissioner Lazarus, you seconded it? I believe for discussion?

1514
01:56:53,380 --> 01:56:53,720
Okay.

1515
01:56:55,240 --> 01:56:57,000
Oh, who seconded it?

1516
01:56:57,740 --> 01:56:58,840
It was Commissioner Lazarus.

1517
01:56:59,120 --> 01:56:59,360
It was me.

1518
01:57:01,480 --> 01:57:02,160
I was like okay.

1519
01:57:02,660 --> 01:57:03,640
Thank you.

1520
01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:04,520
Teamwork.

1521
01:57:04,920 --> 01:57:07,800
Could I have a role call on that change?

1522
01:57:08,560 --> 01:57:09,360
Uh, best mayor, Bethlehem.

1523
01:57:10,740 --> 01:57:11,820
Commissioner, have a yearna.

1524
01:57:12,960 --> 01:57:14,620
Commissioner Lazarus, as

1525
01:57:14,620 --> 01:57:16,360
It's going to be the top.

1526
01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:17,760
Yes.

1527
01:57:17,760 --> 01:57:18,400
Mayer Cooper.

1528
01:57:18,740 --> 01:57:19,260
Yes.

1529
01:57:19,740 --> 01:57:20,760
Mark and Terry Spive Zero.

1530
01:57:23,360 --> 01:57:23,900
All righty.

1531
01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:26,000
Any other changes?

1532
01:57:27,700 --> 01:57:29,460
That was the only thing I had.

1533
01:57:29,980 --> 01:57:30,040
Yeah.

1534
01:57:30,040 --> 01:57:31,700
No, I meant from everybody else.

1535
01:57:32,420 --> 01:57:35,400
And since this is our policy moving forward,

1536
01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:39,580
I would add support of this,

1537
01:57:39,780 --> 01:57:44,040
I'd move to put in the resolution that we just passed in support of

1538
01:57:44,040 --> 01:57:48,080
the other items as discussed, the soil size.

1539
01:57:48,080 --> 01:57:49,240
I don't spell 549.

1540
01:57:50,840 --> 01:57:51,160
Okay.

1541
01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:53,100
How do you pronounce that?

1542
01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:54,660
Silicide.

1543
01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:54,960
Silicide.

1544
01:57:55,120 --> 01:57:55,600
Silicide.

1545
01:57:56,480 --> 01:57:56,540
Silicide.

1546
01:57:57,260 --> 01:57:59,260
It's kind of hard with the mask on.

1547
01:57:59,300 --> 01:57:59,920
I know.

1548
01:58:00,260 --> 01:58:02,060
I'm not hearing myself, so.

1549
01:58:02,340 --> 01:58:03,980
I mean, what's going on with the mayor?

1550
01:58:04,700 --> 01:58:05,220
I have a question.

1551
01:58:06,360 --> 01:58:08,140
Could I have a roll call, please?

1552
01:58:08,500 --> 01:58:09,240
Mitch, can I have a Anna?

1553
01:58:09,720 --> 01:58:10,020
Yes.

1554
01:58:10,660 --> 01:58:11,400
I'm sure you may talk.

1555
01:58:11,880 --> 01:58:12,140
Yeah.

1556
01:58:12,640 --> 01:58:13,060
Mary Cooper.

1557
01:58:13,700 --> 01:58:14,220
Yes.

1558
01:58:14,540 --> 01:58:15,280
Would you like a laser?

1559
01:58:15,640 --> 01:58:16,020
Yes.

1560
01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:16,600
Yes.

1561
01:58:17,500 --> 01:58:17,740
Yes.

1562
01:58:18,400 --> 01:58:19,220
Let's carry the laser.

1563
01:58:19,880 --> 01:58:20,120
Okay.

1564
01:58:20,340 --> 01:58:23,380
Do we need any other housekeeping before we move on?

1565
01:58:24,980 --> 01:58:32,340
If not, I would entertain an emotion to adopt the 2021 legislative program for Helen

1566
01:58:32,340 --> 01:58:33,320
Dale Beach.

1567
01:58:33,740 --> 01:58:34,960
Is that a move?

1568
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:36,020
I have a motion.

1569
01:58:36,540 --> 01:58:37,060
And a second.

1570
01:58:37,260 --> 01:58:38,180
Could I have a roll call?

1571
01:58:38,940 --> 01:58:39,140
I'm sorry.

1572
01:58:39,320 --> 01:58:39,660
The second.

1573
01:58:40,460 --> 01:58:40,900
I did.

1574
01:58:41,700 --> 01:58:42,200
Thank you, madam.

1575
01:58:44,280 --> 01:58:44,940
I'm going to go on a

1576
01:58:46,200 --> 01:58:46,300
Yeah.

1577
01:58:50,020 --> 01:58:50,180
Commission,

1578
01:58:50,260 --> 01:58:51,180
the top?

1579
01:58:51,720 --> 01:58:52,000
Yes.

1580
01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:53,160
Thank you.

1581
01:58:53,360 --> 01:58:53,520
Comitial,

1582
01:58:53,520 --> 01:58:53,780
Yes.

1583
01:58:55,080 --> 01:58:55,340
Marco.

1584
01:58:55,940 --> 01:58:56,220
Yes.

1585
01:58:56,840 --> 01:58:56,960
Yes.

1586
01:58:58,820 --> 01:58:59,380
Comitial.

1587
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:00,220
Yes.

1588
01:59:01,740 --> 01:59:02,520
On the case, sir.

1589
01:59:03,360 --> 01:59:04,520
Good, good luck.

1590
01:59:05,620 --> 01:59:08,500
And I am doing this for 20 years.

1591
01:59:08,660 --> 01:59:11,340
And I remember when they actually had opened meetings,

1592
01:59:11,560 --> 01:59:13,940
and opened the base and opened a lot.

1593
01:59:13,940 --> 01:59:21,180
So it's kind of this heartening now and it's very sad state affairs.

1594
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:23,940
I have a call going on.

1595
01:59:24,620 --> 01:59:25,720
So I'm going to go.

1596
01:59:26,000 --> 01:59:33,100
Yeah, that's so politicized along party lines like our national government.

1597
01:59:33,340 --> 01:59:35,240
Things don't get done for whatever.

1598
01:59:36,100 --> 01:59:37,840
Thank you so much for having me.

1599
01:59:38,020 --> 01:59:42,360
I do anything I just wanted to add, even though I don't do your federal lobbying for you.

1600
01:59:42,360 --> 01:59:48,580
been spending a little bit of time in DC and it's exciting and I wanted to share with all of you

1601
01:59:49,280 --> 01:59:54,640
that the Deputy General Council for the Army Corps is going to be Gary Farmers Former,

1602
01:59:54,740 --> 02:00:00,000
a Senator of Gary Farmers Former, A.J. Shannon and I know that I want you to write the challenge out.

1603
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:12,340
And please vote two guys quite a few times. So, when it's time, the deputy general counsel is there and he will see everything going through the country. So I think that will be helpful for Dr. Earl and your team, and I'm happy to set up a call. If you guys need that.

1604
02:00:13,000 --> 02:00:29,580
Anna Bigda every day has new people from the administration who have been through, we see a lot of Broward and a lot of Florida because, and I don't know if you know, if you all know this, but the deputy chief staff at the White House is a former Florida girl who used to brine camping downstairs, General Maryland, Dylan.

1605
02:00:29,580 --> 02:00:59,260
So it's exciting, I'm sure many of you are seeing, you know, people that you live in the process for a long time, I'm getting really cool jobs in the can and the fact that also I enjoy and have a great Wednesday. Thank you wait wait wait wait what I'm just saying if you have a relationship with him, I mean, I know I've met him and spoken with him and since it's the Army Corps, it would be very interesting if they would weigh in on our slow HP.

1606
02:00:59,580 --> 02:01:06,620
Because it is the inner coast of the waterway. Just food for thought guys. You know, so it is their water.

1607
02:01:06,920 --> 02:01:08,680
How the process? Let's go if I'm going to.

1608
02:01:08,900 --> 02:01:11,380
You know, I'm sure if it can be helpful, they will.

1609
02:01:11,600 --> 02:01:11,840
Okay.

1610
02:01:12,020 --> 02:01:16,720
If people come into the office, they expect every single project to be a coastal project.

1611
02:01:16,940 --> 02:01:18,680
And he said, no, I care about it and land to.

1612
02:01:20,200 --> 02:01:20,620
Okay.

1613
02:01:21,300 --> 02:01:22,160
You want to.

1614
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:23,480
Okay.

1615
02:01:23,480 --> 02:01:23,880
Thank you.

1616
02:01:25,020 --> 02:01:25,260
Okay.

1617
02:01:25,260 --> 02:01:33,100
All righty, we're going to go back now to a discussion of a letter to Goldstream Sponsor

1618
02:01:33,100 --> 02:01:35,220
by Commissioner Lazarus.

1619
02:01:37,330 --> 02:01:40,630
So you said Goldstream is in the wing, so let them go first.

1620
02:01:41,250 --> 02:01:43,290
I think they're still here.

1621
02:01:46,880 --> 02:01:48,020
He has his hand up.

1622
02:01:48,880 --> 02:01:52,340
See, Clark, if you could bring him up to the queue, please.

1623
02:01:52,580 --> 02:01:53,660
So now I'm at a mirror.

1624
02:01:54,220 --> 02:01:55,180
Thank you.

1625
02:01:55,880 --> 02:01:56,580
Good evening.

1626
02:01:59,410 --> 02:02:00,990
Good evening, Mayor Commissioner.

1627
02:02:00,990 --> 02:02:02,530
So that's nice to make you an amazing bottle.

1628
02:02:04,550 --> 02:02:05,070
Hi, Eden.

1629
02:02:06,070 --> 02:02:07,230
That's what I'm waiting for.

1630
02:02:07,750 --> 02:02:08,270
Yeah.

1631
02:02:08,910 --> 02:02:10,250
Let me put this green down.

1632
02:02:10,490 --> 02:02:12,190
Are you on phone or are you alive?

1633
02:02:12,590 --> 02:02:13,230
Yeah, I'm alive.

1634
02:02:13,690 --> 02:02:14,950
I'm happy.

1635
02:02:15,230 --> 02:02:15,830
I'm happy.

1636
02:02:16,690 --> 02:02:17,230
So yeah.

1637
02:02:17,670 --> 02:02:19,890
We see your life there yesterday.

1638
02:02:20,430 --> 02:02:21,570
And we get a response.

1639
02:02:23,450 --> 02:02:25,410
I'm actually quite glad the letter was sent.

1640
02:02:25,430 --> 02:02:29,110
Because it just point out the things that we're done in California.

1641
02:02:29,110 --> 02:02:34,290
and I was the, actually the executive director of the California Tracks, the one mentioned

1642
02:02:34,290 --> 02:02:41,310
in the letter, predominantly Santa Anita Park, and we talked Santa Anita from a track that

1643
02:02:41,310 --> 02:02:48,530
had suffered some fairly kind of bad numbers from an injury standpoint, and made it within the

1644
02:02:48,530 --> 02:02:52,450
space of two years, one of the side-to-stradish tracks, not only in America but in the world.

1645
02:02:52,450 --> 02:02:54,430
So we're very proud of the accomplishments.

1646
02:02:55,850 --> 02:02:58,930
We have a real opportunity in a panel

1647
02:02:58,930 --> 02:03:02,770
and at a Gulf Stream Park to not only do the same thing,

1648
02:03:03,170 --> 02:03:04,710
but with the advent of the Federal Bill

1649
02:03:04,710 --> 02:03:06,810
with recently passed school, the horse racing

1650
02:03:06,810 --> 02:03:08,910
integrity and safety act.

1651
02:03:09,110 --> 02:03:11,330
Naturally now, we're going to take a lot of those lessons

1652
02:03:11,330 --> 02:03:12,810
learned, but we were at the forefront

1653
02:03:12,810 --> 02:03:15,690
of developing those protocols, those processes,

1654
02:03:16,470 --> 02:03:21,010
and implement them federally and obviously Gulf Stream Park

1655
02:03:21,010 --> 02:03:27,070
and the other tracks around the country and even in the state will have a benefit from those improvements

1656
02:03:27,070 --> 02:03:29,090
of safety, before Sam and the RIDA.

1657
02:03:31,110 --> 02:03:37,770
Well, I want to thank you because when I saw the item, I know that you're a large partner

1658
02:03:37,770 --> 02:03:45,070
of us in our community and a large taxpayers, and I was kind of alarmed, and I know some of

1659
02:03:45,070 --> 02:03:49,050
the statistics were inflammatory because you are the busiest track.

1660
02:03:49,050 --> 02:04:00,790
I think when we had spoken, so that needs to be in duly noted as well, so I figured I give you an opportunity to share with us your progress.

1661
02:04:01,490 --> 02:04:10,450
Absolutely, and I am brand new to Florida. Hopefully we can have a great relationship and I really don't mind.

1662
02:04:10,450 --> 02:04:15,670
people, the cordial people ask questions. The public has the right to know how what we do with

1663
02:04:15,670 --> 02:04:21,550
horses, how well we look after them. And if there was ever a situation where we could improve,

1664
02:04:21,630 --> 02:04:26,730
be sure that we have to improve. Horse racing when it's done right is one of the most beautiful

1665
02:04:26,730 --> 02:04:32,190
glorious sport in the world. When it's done wrong, horses can get put in jeopardy and injurious

1666
02:04:32,190 --> 02:04:37,270
can issue. So we have a duty with what we do for a living to make sure we do it the best.

1667
02:04:37,270 --> 02:04:41,450
And in my eyes there's no better place than our Gulf Stream to do that.

1668
02:04:41,590 --> 02:04:45,170
It should be a country leader, it's not a global leader in what we do.

1669
02:04:46,190 --> 02:04:50,730
It's a big busy track, it's one of the busiest race tracks in the world.

1670
02:04:50,930 --> 02:04:52,390
I mean it runs all the time.

1671
02:04:52,630 --> 02:04:56,510
We have 1,400 staff employed directly by Gulf Stream.

1672
02:04:56,630 --> 02:04:59,950
We actually have 600 people live on.

1673
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:07,300
On the track, the look after and care for the LED-1800 horses. As they'll have appointed out, we've got to

1674
02:05:07,300 --> 02:05:12,040
make some improvements and we are making lots of improvements and don't take me on my word. It'll

1675
02:05:12,040 --> 02:05:17,800
be, you know, I'd like to come back in a few months time and maybe present, hopefully, when the pandemic's gone.

1676
02:05:17,980 --> 02:05:25,280
So I can actually show up at present and answer any questions about also love for anyone, any one of the commissioners yourself,

1677
02:05:25,280 --> 02:05:28,820
Mayor, Vice Mayor Butler is going to an amazing surname.

1678
02:05:29,520 --> 02:05:32,680
I love any of you to come out and see the tracks and see what we're doing.

1679
02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:36,920
It is a little work in progress, there's some things we're really changing, but I can assure

1680
02:05:36,920 --> 02:05:42,460
you myself, my team and the ownership of the track are fully committed to making it the best

1681
02:05:42,460 --> 02:05:43,800
race track you can possibly be.

1682
02:05:45,220 --> 02:05:47,940
Okay, Commissioner Lazar, are you of the floor?

1683
02:05:48,200 --> 02:05:51,140
I believe that there's public comment, City Clerk.

1684
02:05:52,160 --> 02:05:54,460
Yes, Madam Mayor, we did receive one voice.

1685
02:05:54,460 --> 02:05:58,700
Well, just for this item, okay, would you like to play it now?

1686
02:05:58,960 --> 02:05:59,460
Madam Mayor?

1687
02:06:01,840 --> 02:06:03,160
Mr. Davis, please.

1688
02:06:03,480 --> 02:06:04,200
Thank you.

1689
02:06:14,940 --> 02:06:20,100
I'm going to come in in regards to the atrocities that are being committed

1690
02:06:20,100 --> 02:06:24,500
at the Gulf Stream or Shracing Park.

1691
02:06:25,880 --> 02:06:32,280
So far, the number over 100 horses have died in Gulf Stream Park,

1692
02:06:32,280 --> 02:06:43,580
We're the past two years when you're taking to account 58 in the year of 2019 and 53 in the years 2020.

1693
02:06:44,980 --> 02:06:46,380
This is unacceptable.

1694
02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:50,620
These horses do not deserve to be treated this way.

1695
02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:54,920
And this industry continues to claim that they love these animals.

1696
02:06:55,320 --> 02:06:58,160
I think it's further from the truth.

1697
02:07:00,820 --> 02:07:06,480
These animals are viewed as opportunities to make money.

1698
02:07:07,240 --> 02:07:10,020
They're used, abused, and then discarded.

1699
02:07:11,740 --> 02:07:13,080
If they're on drugs,

1700
02:07:15,170 --> 02:07:19,750
even human athletes are not permitted to be on.

1701
02:07:20,130 --> 02:07:26,790
For example, Lasics, and Gulf Stream Park has no transparency to even keep track of what drugs

1702
02:07:26,790 --> 02:07:30,350
these animals are on, how many of the horses die annually.

1703
02:07:31,250 --> 02:07:32,690
It's not even posted,

1704
02:07:34,850 --> 02:07:40,790
so I highly recommend that actions continue to move forward so that

1705
02:07:40,790 --> 02:07:45,410
Gulf Stream Park can find another profession, the real estate view is part of different

1706
02:07:45,410 --> 02:07:53,590
means and the abuse of horses. It needs to go the way of the dog racing in the state of Florida,

1707
02:07:54,150 --> 02:07:59,110
as the Florida residents begin to understand what's going on at Gulf Stream Park.

1708
02:07:59,770 --> 02:08:07,210
This movement will get bigger and bigger, so please get ahead of this movement and get

1709
02:08:07,210 --> 02:08:12,650
on course to support the sources that are being abused.

1710
02:08:14,030 --> 02:08:15,070
Thank you.

1711
02:08:17,630 --> 02:08:18,750
Are there any other speakers?

1712
02:08:19,830 --> 02:08:23,630
No, Madam Mayor, we have received a large volume of e-commerce, though.

1713
02:08:23,850 --> 02:08:25,850
That will be made part of the record with the minutes.

1714
02:08:26,990 --> 02:08:27,510
Okay.

1715
02:08:27,510 --> 02:08:27,630
All right.

1716
02:08:28,450 --> 02:08:28,970
Okay.

1717
02:08:28,970 --> 02:08:38,490
Good. I just want to make it abundantly clear. I love horses. I love animals. I love dogs. I am so

1718
02:08:39,650 --> 02:08:45,790
frustrated. I've heard from this Mr. Koblin a couple years. I don't think I've ever met him. And I really

1719
02:08:45,790 --> 02:08:56,830
find that they're actually commenting on people's prized possessions, just like my dogs. I mean,

1720
02:08:56,830 --> 02:09:02,910
I have a dog that I care for, I feed, I make sure it has great medical attention.

1721
02:09:05,070 --> 02:09:09,490
This is, that's mine, my hobby.

1722
02:09:10,110 --> 02:09:14,810
Versus are mental run. They're meant to be, you know,

1723
02:09:15,090 --> 02:09:17,750
I worse back or made every slumber in Colorado.

1724
02:09:18,950 --> 02:09:22,870
So, you know, I always want to, I'd like to meet Mr. Copeland.

1725
02:09:22,870 --> 02:09:28,830
I understand what his agenda is, and every once in a while,

1726
02:09:29,110 --> 02:09:32,290
his name comes up in reporting or bashing,

1727
02:09:32,890 --> 02:09:35,570
and it's interesting that he's being a real estate.

1728
02:09:36,530 --> 02:09:40,670
So I've been around long enough to understand

1729
02:09:41,910 --> 02:09:47,290
competitions from outside the state, inside the state.

1730
02:09:47,290 --> 02:09:57,130
So, I am totally tired of having our commissions hijacked with these extreme agendas.

1731
02:09:58,110 --> 02:09:59,990
Goldstream's been here free.

1732
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:11,240
There is, I support them. They are a state, national, and rural leader in what they do in this industry.

1733
02:10:11,720 --> 02:10:20,820
They have athletes that are dedicated and trained. Yes, injuries can happen in any sport.

1734
02:10:20,820 --> 02:10:26,180
whether it's football, basketball, soccer, race,

1735
02:10:26,460 --> 02:10:27,580
card driving,

1736
02:10:29,900 --> 02:10:32,780
and this has gotten out of control.

1737
02:10:33,260 --> 02:10:39,660
I found it offensive and disgusting during the election time.

1738
02:10:40,700 --> 02:10:43,240
So I'm not going to be shy about it.

1739
02:10:43,260 --> 02:10:48,280
I was another one that did not vote the pen dog stores.

1740
02:10:48,280 --> 02:10:55,360
And I'm not interested to this movement if they were doing what they're doing, I

1741
02:10:55,360 --> 02:11:05,040
support them. They want to protect and run safe rest. So that's all I have to

1742
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:07,200
say. Thank you.

1743
02:11:13,020 --> 02:11:15,820
And I think they addressed your concern already.

1744
02:11:18,720 --> 02:11:20,480
I'm sorry. Who you

1745
02:11:20,480 --> 02:11:28,280
I'm talking to you, you're right, I'm the address mic concerns, you're right, I'm your letter, I'm in a draft.

1746
02:11:28,840 --> 02:11:37,160
No, I think I'm going to make a motion at the end to send a letter, I haven't spoken on the letter, but I'm definitely going to continue to make that motion.

1747
02:11:37,820 --> 02:11:49,040
I will speak directly to Aden, listen, we know that the state makes you race, even if you didn't want to you'd have to.

1748
02:11:49,040 --> 02:11:52,900
So there's no question that we couldn't end all gracing.

1749
02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:57,060
I mean, horse racing, the way we can and could have ended dog racing.

1750
02:11:57,760 --> 02:12:06,320
So with that being said, I understand that the end goal is not at this time to ask you to stop racing.

1751
02:12:07,080 --> 02:12:17,090
But looking at the Santa Ana Anita website, as you yourself acknowledged and thank you for being an agreement and being so, you know,

1752
02:12:18,450 --> 02:12:22,790
progressive, or whatever the word is that you'd like to use on board.

1753
02:12:23,390 --> 02:12:28,930
And I think the formality of a sending this letter is just really taking that position

1754
02:12:28,930 --> 02:12:33,730
as a partnership with you, that you have agreed that you're going to be more transparent.

1755
02:12:33,930 --> 02:12:39,730
I don't think you would be opposed to this commission, hopefully formalizing that since

1756
02:12:39,730 --> 02:12:45,970
your letter did seem so, in response to it, you were also in agreement with those changes.

1757
02:12:46,470 --> 02:12:54,850
So I think it's important, particularly because there has been, you know, today there was some media coverage on this.

1758
02:12:55,230 --> 02:13:01,330
I was interviewed and I know that now there is some kind of a spotlight being looked at this industry.

1759
02:13:01,970 --> 02:13:06,470
So I would definitely ask this commission that we move forward.

1760
02:13:06,470 --> 02:13:09,190
I'm going to make the motion unless somebody else has something to say.

1761
02:13:09,210 --> 02:13:12,830
I'm going to make a motion to authorize the proposed letter from the city commission.

1762
02:13:12,830 --> 02:13:21,290
And those who would like to say yes, I would appreciate if you would agree with that, say yes. So that's my motion.

1763
02:13:21,650 --> 02:13:28,890
I'm going to speak one more time. You know, let's not be so disingenuous.

1764
02:13:29,110 --> 02:13:32,510
And you have followers, they really care about animals.

1765
02:13:32,510 --> 02:13:39,550
But I'm quite shy and I'm going to go and record that you didn't even question it

1766
02:13:39,550 --> 02:13:45,630
excepting 25,000 plus if not more dollars from Wall Street.

1767
02:13:46,490 --> 02:13:56,250
So I think this is a flap end of face and it's really unfair to one of our largest taxpayers

1768
02:13:56,250 --> 02:14:00,270
in the city, as well as a world leader.

1769
02:14:02,800 --> 02:14:09,120
I had my hand up. Who's next? I had my hand up.

1770
02:14:09,300 --> 02:14:11,040
Commissioner, Tom.

1771
02:14:12,560 --> 02:14:12,880
Thank you.

1772
02:14:12,880 --> 02:14:13,160
Thank you, Mayor.

1773
02:14:13,900 --> 02:14:16,640
So, you know, I, I will say this.

1774
02:14:17,960 --> 02:14:24,960
You know, I've been in animal rights advocate since I was 19, 20 years old.

1775
02:14:25,200 --> 02:14:28,600
I've gone into some of the worst neighborhoods, some of the worst homes.

1776
02:14:28,760 --> 02:14:31,760
I continue to do that to rescue abuse.

1777
02:14:32,440 --> 02:14:40,400
animals, particularly abused dogs, some of the most horrific things I've ever seen.

1778
02:14:41,640 --> 02:14:45,620
You know, there are few really, really bad cases that came out of Power and Del Beach.

1779
02:14:48,220 --> 02:14:51,020
I do think that sometimes,

1780
02:14:54,250 --> 02:14:59,550
you know, unfortunately I think this is politically motivated.

1781
02:15:00,080 --> 02:15:04,180
You know, we all know during the election,

1782
02:15:07,240 --> 02:15:25,200
one of the commissioners here and another candidate brought people to protest during a plant-based festival that you all had, I have to say that I am very, very proud of the partnership that, you know,

1783
02:15:25,200 --> 02:15:32,320
was very amenable when I approached you when I approached Bolshek in two years ago and suggested

1784
02:15:32,320 --> 02:15:39,120
that maybe some of the ways that we can write past wrongs would be finding a common ground.

1785
02:15:41,180 --> 02:15:48,160
And I proposed bringing this plant-based festival to Bolshek and the first event drew over 4,000

1786
02:15:48,160 --> 02:16:00,980
people. And my goal in that was to showcase what plant-based diets can do for the environment.

1787
02:16:03,360 --> 02:16:17,220
And you all responded in kind and it's been several festivals after that. I think that sometimes what I've learned through my advocacy is that when we are abrasive and we were on it.

1788
02:16:19,840 --> 02:16:28,340
that doesn't always work, but coming and trying to find a common ground. So as an animal

1789
02:16:28,340 --> 02:16:37,560
right advocate, I don't like horse racing. I've never been to a horse racing that I can't

1790
02:16:37,560 --> 02:16:41,800
say that for other commissioners. I can't say that for the commissioner that's bringing

1791
02:16:41,800 --> 02:16:49,880
this up. In 2016 after the election, we were invited to a private suite up in Gulfstream

1792
02:16:49,880 --> 02:16:58,300
I declined because I am an animal rights advocate and I just prefer not to be in any

1793
02:16:58,300 --> 02:17:08,460
type of racing. It's not what I like, but having said that, it is what it is and if we

1794
02:17:08,460 --> 02:17:14,060
can come to a common ground Mr. Butler of having more

1795
02:17:14,060 --> 02:17:15,220
huge meeting treatment.

1796
02:17:15,220 --> 02:17:19,040
And if there's any wrongs in the past, making them

1797
02:17:19,040 --> 02:17:23,860
right, and having oversight, then I think we can do

1798
02:17:23,860 --> 02:17:29,360
that in an amicable way where we can sit down and have

1799
02:17:29,360 --> 02:17:30,400
honest conversations.

1800
02:17:31,280 --> 02:17:32,980
But please don't mistake.

1801
02:17:33,020 --> 02:17:37,900
This is a politically motivated, you know,

1802
02:17:37,900 --> 02:17:44,740
was accused of being a fake vegan. That was the best they had, was that I'm a fake vegan,

1803
02:17:45,340 --> 02:17:52,040
and I eat, and I eat, I wasn't. Be for whatever it is that they accused me. It was all ridiculous.

1804
02:17:52,400 --> 02:17:58,340
And you know, a bunch of people came to protest, this was back in October. This is politically motivated.

1805
02:17:59,820 --> 02:18:04,400
I am sorry, you're one of the, you know, golf students, one of the biggest partners that we have

1806
02:18:04,400 --> 02:18:10,480
in the city. I have been able to find common grounds with all of you as a matter of fact, and

1807
02:18:10,480 --> 02:18:16,980
the first of that that we had, we had a lot of animal rights people in rescue that rescue animals,

1808
02:18:17,140 --> 02:18:26,280
rescue dogs, trap cats, that came to the event and loved it and appreciated it. And so I think

1809
02:18:26,280 --> 02:18:34,820
we can reach some goals, but this is not the way to do it.

1810
02:18:36,840 --> 02:18:42,060
So, Commissioner Commissioner, if I may, I'd like to dissimilar, I'd rescue anybody

1811
02:18:42,060 --> 02:18:47,500
myself that generally horses are a little hard at the feet, and the comment that was made

1812
02:18:47,500 --> 02:18:48,320
out of the agenda.

1813
02:18:48,580 --> 02:18:49,540
I'm never calling you up.

1814
02:18:49,740 --> 02:18:50,980
This is all about making money.

1815
02:18:51,360 --> 02:18:55,100
I could show you my bank at the end of each month, and it's definitely not about making

1816
02:18:55,100 --> 02:19:00,220
money for me with regards to looking after these sources. Most people in this love them,

1817
02:19:00,420 --> 02:19:05,640
but what you said really really true with me, we are want to be great partners with Alan

1818
02:19:05,640 --> 02:19:10,360
the Elbetron with the community and anything we can do to improve it. It's going to be done

1819
02:19:10,360 --> 02:19:15,920
in the very small for way by people who are experts and what we do. There is not one person

1820
02:19:15,920 --> 02:19:22,760
on my team around that I know that if I, for a second floor, had anything but the best, best

1821
02:19:22,760 --> 02:19:27,200
attention to these animals, that their butts wouldn't touch the ground, they would be removed,

1822
02:19:27,560 --> 02:19:31,560
with every element of power I've got, and I can give you my word, and for whatever that's

1823
02:19:31,560 --> 02:19:36,880
work, none of you know me. Please, any time you want to ask questions, any time on little love,

1824
02:19:36,900 --> 02:19:42,160
people to come and actually, I've got three riding ponies at the track, at the moment, come and see

1825
02:19:42,160 --> 02:19:46,660
them, come and see the backguards, so I'd come and see how the walls are. I can't come.

1826
02:19:51,760 --> 02:19:52,160
It's really

1827
02:19:52,160 --> 02:19:55,100
I've loved being great, and I understand it, and I also understand

1828
02:19:55,100 --> 02:20:00,000
Doug Raysson went away, and also quite smart with regards to that.

1829
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:29,980
Standing, the Doug tracks themselves wanted to go away, so they didn't have to put that spot on. I, on the other hand, country for the mission as statement, I'm for the generation from this industry. My grandfather was in this industry and the UK and my father was, I don't want this to go away. This is, you know, about building another casino box. This is about doing something that again, when it's done right, can be a really beautiful sport. Now you're great. If anybody was being put in harm's way, we will not stand for them.

1830
02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:36,300
anything that's proven in, that we can prove, we will adapt to the just and finish it up,

1831
02:20:36,500 --> 02:20:41,840
luckily for us the feds, I'm just introduced a very strict bill with regards to medication,

1832
02:20:42,460 --> 02:20:48,000
craft use, craft reform. So while it is a little unfortunate, you write there's a lot of

1833
02:20:48,000 --> 02:20:54,380
politically charged voices here and it's no irony and I think Mac, who are delightfully

1834
02:20:54,380 --> 02:20:58,060
pointed out that there's a lot of real estate here and a lot of people who would like to

1835
02:20:58,060 --> 02:21:03,060
you're going to stay at use to something else but we're going to keep doing what we do and

1836
02:21:03,060 --> 02:21:07,400
please anything you ever need of me or the track I will allow the law to just write away.

1837
02:21:08,560 --> 02:21:19,360
So I'll finish this Mr. Butler. Will you commit to, I'm not going to sign on to letter. I think

1838
02:21:19,360 --> 02:21:24,580
there's other ways to achieve a more humane approach with the way that the horse is treating.

1839
02:21:24,580 --> 02:21:44,820
Treat it. Will you publicly commit to a more humane and transparent process in which the horses are treated but also any reports of you know mistreatment?

1840
02:21:44,820 --> 02:21:55,920
You have my word and the word of the stronger group, which is the company that owns it, that everything in our power we can do to be human, we will absolutely do.

1841
02:21:56,140 --> 02:22:07,900
Before the federal bill kicks in in 2022, we do everything in our power and again I'd love to present to you guys and bring you to the track and show you some of the things we've already started to make.

1842
02:22:07,900 --> 02:22:10,400
So you have my commitment on that, absolutely.

1843
02:22:10,640 --> 02:22:13,560
And with regards to transparency and I don't like the point

1844
02:22:13,560 --> 02:22:17,420
that my people are on, golf screen is one of the very few tracks

1845
02:22:17,420 --> 02:22:21,900
that actually report on the Jockey Club injury database every year.

1846
02:22:21,980 --> 02:22:25,200
How many fatalities we had of the tracks including other tracks

1847
02:22:25,200 --> 02:22:26,420
and Florida don't do that.

1848
02:22:26,840 --> 02:22:30,920
So it's a little disingenuous when people call us out for not being completely

1849
02:22:30,920 --> 02:22:35,240
transparent with regards to the horse injury and more over the other tracks

1850
02:22:35,240 --> 02:22:36,480
than the other tracks and Florida.

1851
02:22:36,480 --> 02:22:47,100
We've run a hundred percent more. We are double the size of WMM. So I have no qualms owning up to things that we've done wrong and trying to work better and trying to improve this.

1852
02:22:47,480 --> 02:22:56,420
But in a fairness and a dramatic statement, if you're not back by proof then it's really just a disingenuous and a little bit of a time waste.

1853
02:22:56,580 --> 02:23:00,880
When we are trying to improve support and fix things, the world will correct you in the past.

1854
02:23:01,980 --> 02:23:04,060
Thank you sir. Thank you. Thank you.

1855
02:23:04,060 --> 02:23:11,600
this is not my fight so I will not hijack it. I will not hijack it. There are very

1856
02:23:11,600 --> 02:23:20,280
worthy animal rights causes that my colleagues fight. This is not one of them, but I will

1857
02:23:20,280 --> 02:23:29,340
take you at your word and perhaps both parties, my colleague and you can have a meeting that's

1858
02:23:29,340 --> 02:23:31,560
a meaningful conversation.

1859
02:23:32,800 --> 02:23:32,860
Okay.

1860
02:23:33,600 --> 02:23:34,160
Thank you.

1861
02:23:34,160 --> 02:23:34,320
Thank you very much.

1862
02:23:34,320 --> 02:23:35,580
Now I'm a resident.

1863
02:23:35,960 --> 02:23:36,420
I'm around.

1864
02:23:36,860 --> 02:23:37,740
I'm always on the track scene.

1865
02:23:37,840 --> 02:23:38,440
I want to find me.

1866
02:23:39,760 --> 02:23:40,720
Thank you.

1867
02:23:40,720 --> 02:23:41,580
Thank you.

1868
02:23:41,580 --> 02:23:42,440
Who is next?

1869
02:23:45,750 --> 02:23:47,170
Vice Mayor, you're recognized.

1870
02:23:47,810 --> 02:23:48,970
Thank you, Mayor.

1871
02:23:50,130 --> 02:23:51,790
Thank you, Mr. Butler for your comments.

1872
02:23:52,610 --> 02:23:56,930
So I thought until I heard your accent that you might have been one of the Kansas City Butler's.

1873
02:23:56,930 --> 02:23:59,610
I want to be Irish, but I want to go back.

1874
02:23:59,990 --> 02:24:02,210
Yeah, apparently, maybe we go way back.

1875
02:24:02,330 --> 02:24:02,990
I don't know.

1876
02:24:03,770 --> 02:24:05,370
But I appreciate you coming in tonight.

1877
02:24:05,590 --> 02:24:11,930
I just, so I'm maybe less sensitive to these things than most when I read the letter.

1878
02:24:13,990 --> 02:24:16,990
That Commissioner Lazarus put forward.

1879
02:24:17,610 --> 02:24:26,130
I thought it fairly innocuous asking for and respectfully doing so to provide information that you in your response,

1880
02:24:26,130 --> 02:24:33,390
which I appreciate as well. You're quickly responded to say that what she's asking for you actually

1881
02:24:33,390 --> 02:24:40,850
had provided in Santa Anita. I guess my question is based on your response and this letter

1882
02:24:40,850 --> 02:24:48,210
is that a direction that you plan on going is to provide that added level of transparency that's

1883
02:24:48,210 --> 02:24:54,750
being requested in the letter. Absolutely. In fact, the website question I built, so I'm

1884
02:24:54,750 --> 02:24:59,950
So how do we get there at A.B. as a corporate patient and it's this is not happening.

1885
02:25:00,660 --> 02:25:04,880
All of the websites for all of the tracks are being redesigned in a more modern approach.

1886
02:25:05,380 --> 02:25:07,660
That 12 months ago we went through a rebranding exercise.

1887
02:25:08,300 --> 02:25:14,500
So all of the protocols and processes that are specific to Gulf Stream Park, there will always be some differences.

1888
02:25:16,020 --> 02:25:22,800
But until 2022, when the whole country will come into a singular alignment, there will be slight differences.

1889
02:25:23,120 --> 02:25:28,360
But I can assure you that the website will be a section as there is in California,

1890
02:25:28,360 --> 02:25:33,160
when you're showing the process in protocols with regards to, again, something different

1891
02:25:33,160 --> 02:25:38,620
is the CHR being California, which is a state body, which is under the control source

1892
02:25:38,620 --> 02:25:39,000
racing.

1893
02:25:39,420 --> 02:25:45,320
Does have some extra levers that legally we wouldn't have in Florida, but what we tend

1894
02:25:45,320 --> 02:25:50,520
to do in that case, where we don't really have the ability from a legislations standpoint,

1895
02:25:51,140 --> 02:25:57,040
we go to the horsemen and try and cover the house rule, so you'll see a lot of the companion

1896
02:25:57,040 --> 02:26:03,000
rules and comparison rules to other states, we've had to implement ourselves such as

1897
02:26:03,000 --> 02:26:06,800
basics and things you'd have to do that with an agreement just with the horsemen where

1898
02:26:06,800 --> 02:26:11,980
they'd be the state law that didn't cover us, we have to kind of do it ourselves. So long, long,

1899
02:26:11,980 --> 02:26:19,720
way around of saying there'll be a nice website with all the protocols and the transparency

1900
02:26:19,720 --> 02:26:25,300
that issues with them coming up as soon as we can get it up. That's fantastic and I appreciate your

1901
02:26:25,300 --> 02:26:49,920
I agree with the comments of Commissioner Taub, I agree with what I think Commissioner Lazaros was trying to accomplish here and I certainly agree with the mayor. You guys are a fantastic partner and I want to welcome you to South Florida and appreciate your willingness to add that added level of transparency, which is obviously important to the community.

1902
02:26:50,680 --> 02:26:55,940
I just want to tell you that a Gulf Stream really holds a special place in the city of

1903
02:26:55,940 --> 02:27:00,740
Hallendale, and I know you're new here, but a lot of people love it, not just for the horses.

1904
02:27:01,820 --> 02:27:09,560
So there is a history that goes really far back with Gulf Stream, and I'm really looking

1905
02:27:09,560 --> 02:27:16,320
forward and hope that with your now presence at Gulf Stream, that we'll see some of the

1906
02:27:16,320 --> 02:27:25,380
opportunities that I think we've missed over the years, be taken advantage of and looking forward to it and really appreciate having a fellow Butler in town.

1907
02:27:26,120 --> 02:27:27,980
You can't have so many Butler's right.

1908
02:27:30,600 --> 02:27:31,420
Thank you.

1909
02:27:31,420 --> 02:27:31,900
Thanks, Mr. Butler.

1910
02:27:32,400 --> 02:27:32,740
Thank you, Mayor.

1911
02:27:33,460 --> 02:27:34,660
Thank you.

1912
02:27:34,940 --> 02:27:35,680
Thank you.

1913
02:27:35,700 --> 02:27:36,320
Thank you.

1914
02:27:38,580 --> 02:27:38,800
Thank you.

1915
02:27:38,800 --> 02:27:38,880
Thank you.

1916
02:27:39,700 --> 02:27:41,200
So I just wanted to say a Mr. Butler.

1917
02:27:41,200 --> 02:27:48,680
Nice to meet you. I just definitely want to have a conversation with you outside of the meeting where we can talk about some things.

1918
02:27:49,180 --> 02:27:52,180
I didn't have some concerns last year that I think I brought up to the commission.

1919
02:27:53,000 --> 02:27:59,120
And then I had a meeting with your predecessor and my questions and my concerns weren't really addressing that meeting.

1920
02:27:59,960 --> 02:28:10,460
And then a few weeks later, you know, there was the incident with the FBI getting involved and charging trainers and veterinarians and the horse drugging.

1921
02:28:11,900 --> 02:28:17,320
scandal which I realized was across different states and even a bit international. So I definitely

1922
02:28:17,320 --> 02:28:21,800
want to follow up with you on, you know, what has happened since then to make sure things

1923
02:28:21,800 --> 02:28:26,240
do these things aren't happening. So definitely we'll connect with you offline too.

1924
02:28:26,520 --> 02:28:29,740
I would love to have that opportunity. Thank you, Commissioner. Thank you.

1925
02:28:32,090 --> 02:28:32,090
Hi.

1926
02:28:37,580 --> 02:28:41,180
I'm in queue again. Okay. Commissioner Flasher.

1927
02:28:41,180 --> 02:28:49,980
Yeah, Mr. Butler, can you speak to the number of dead horses in 2019 and 2020 and now 2021, please?

1928
02:28:50,980 --> 02:28:53,500
And by speak to them, you would like amounts?

1929
02:28:54,040 --> 02:28:58,400
No, I know how many there were, according to the Department of Power Mutual Wager,

1930
02:28:58,400 --> 02:29:03,940
and I just like you to explain why there have been 115 deaths since 2019.

1931
02:29:03,940 --> 02:29:17,860
I like the fact that everybody is being so cordial and respectful, this is not personal to you, I would just like you to address 115 dead horses.

1932
02:29:19,560 --> 02:29:25,280
Absolutely, so unfortunately there is an easy way to say this that it is a high octane sport.

1933
02:29:26,260 --> 02:29:31,940
Jockey's getting into the force, he's getting into it and unfortunately there is only so much you can do to protect courses

1934
02:29:31,940 --> 02:29:35,060
and anybody who does anything that's a physical major.

1935
02:29:36,020 --> 02:29:43,640
If I gave you the step that over 400,000 trips a year around the track, that's between training and racing,

1936
02:29:43,640 --> 02:29:48,040
And then you look at the small volume of injured horses.

1937
02:29:49,000 --> 02:29:50,580
And you get the numbers from the pyramid.

1938
02:29:50,700 --> 02:29:52,720
You took it behind each story.

1939
02:29:53,180 --> 02:29:56,800
And each injury, there is a reason.

1940
02:29:57,040 --> 02:30:00,000
Sometimes it's hard to explain that there is a reason.

1941
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:29,920
Some of those didn't pass away from anything to do with a physical activity. So what it would say to you is, and just again, take me on what I've done, don't take me on on on on 29 C, I again take in San Trinidad to attract that had quite a space and injuries to being one of the safest tracks in America. So we're going to do the same with Goldstream Park and we're going to be very proud of what we've done. And that that's really.

1942
02:30:30,000 --> 02:30:30,840
along in the shoulder.

1943
02:30:32,840 --> 02:30:36,020
So, Chockeys make a choice to get on the horse, obviously.

1944
02:30:36,360 --> 02:30:38,060
Horses don't make a choice to run.

1945
02:30:39,320 --> 02:30:41,100
And, you know, to me, it's not a sport.

1946
02:30:41,400 --> 02:30:46,400
To me, it's another form of gambling on an animal, an exploitation of an animal

1947
02:30:46,400 --> 02:30:50,000
that did not ask to run in a track for money.

1948
02:30:50,640 --> 02:30:55,560
In addition to injury reporting, the same thing with dogs.

1949
02:30:55,700 --> 02:30:58,800
We know it's true with horses, not all of the injuries get reported.

1950
02:30:59,800 --> 02:31:04,640
Whether there isn't we just know that that is not true.

1951
02:31:05,280 --> 02:31:08,060
And so while I appreciate that my colleagues

1952
02:31:08,060 --> 02:31:11,700
who've been very friendly and sing-

1953
02:31:11,700 --> 02:31:12,900
Oh, no, I don't care.

1954
02:31:13,480 --> 02:31:14,800
It's not personal to you.

1955
02:31:14,980 --> 02:31:16,260
I don't like the sandwich dream.

1956
02:31:16,700 --> 02:31:19,540
I always said it to a lawn to pray.

1957
02:31:19,980 --> 02:31:20,920
It's not a secret.

1958
02:31:21,180 --> 02:31:22,860
I don't support whores for a thing.

1959
02:31:23,160 --> 02:31:26,180
But that being said, that being said,

1960
02:31:26,180 --> 02:31:35,380
I also know we can't stop horse racing, so while I appreciate that everybody wants to take you a face value and you seem like a nice enough guy.

1961
02:31:36,000 --> 02:31:42,780
Again, I would still like to formally send this letter. Obviously, I don't have support from my colleagues, so I will put it on my own letterhead.

1962
02:31:43,240 --> 02:31:51,760
And I will make a clear that even though you have agreed as a gentleman that you would do these items exactly as I ask for them.

1963
02:31:51,760 --> 02:32:09,180
I'm still going to formalize it because I'm going to hold your your feet to the fire and say you said on this day that you were going to implement the changes and you know what with all the respect Mr. Butler, why are we waiting until today? Where was this industry before I put this letter on the agenda, you know?

1964
02:32:09,180 --> 02:32:16,480
And what do you do this prior to my asking for you to do it?

1965
02:32:17,260 --> 02:32:21,540
Absolutely. I wish I had to be in a member of the company, I wish I had the experiences

1966
02:32:21,540 --> 02:32:28,040
that I had in California. So I absolutely agree with you. In fact, I'll go one more of this.

1967
02:32:28,040 --> 02:32:34,420
If horse racing can't be done well, it shouldn't be done. And that is the pledge I made to everybody

1968
02:32:34,420 --> 02:32:37,340
to use listening to, and lastly, we can make it safe.

1969
02:32:37,460 --> 02:32:39,380
We're never going to get to zero.

1970
02:32:39,840 --> 02:32:41,600
And there was some rhetoric out there,

1971
02:32:41,780 --> 02:32:43,840
you know, about let's get rid of horse racing,

1972
02:32:44,440 --> 02:32:47,300
let's paralyze these forces and these breathe into extension.

1973
02:32:47,540 --> 02:32:48,960
So they can't be used for sport.

1974
02:32:49,340 --> 02:32:52,740
I'm a big believer in doing things the right way.

1975
02:32:53,180 --> 02:32:55,500
And I will, one rest and I've looked on them.

1976
02:32:55,940 --> 02:32:58,600
So, you know, I have no palms with sending all that.

1977
02:32:58,800 --> 02:33:00,440
In fact, I think you should send all that.

1978
02:33:00,740 --> 02:33:02,740
And I think, you know, after a little bit of time,

1979
02:33:02,740 --> 02:33:13,980
you should then be able to come back and point to that letter, as long as I'm still here and have been accustomed and call me out if I haven't or asked me why if I haven't

1980
02:33:13,980 --> 02:33:20,720
I don't think that's a pledge I could make to you and there's no grand standing under the track every day of the week

1981
02:33:20,720 --> 02:33:29,280
We come and see me, I'd love to talk to you and love to actually go through methodically from other reasons why things have done and some of the reasons why they were done in the past

1982
02:33:29,280 --> 02:33:33,800
And that's all I can do to you, Commissioner, that's all I can offer.

1983
02:33:33,940 --> 02:33:38,080
I don't promise you, hopefully that will be sufficient for today, because I don't know

1984
02:33:38,080 --> 02:33:39,620
what else I can do, but make that pledge.

1985
02:33:40,040 --> 02:33:46,480
Yeah, there's nothing really I'll say you can do, and as I will say this, having a vegan festival

1986
02:33:46,480 --> 02:33:51,020
at a horse track for me is like having a potluck at a slaughterhouse.

1987
02:33:51,240 --> 02:33:57,400
That's for me, so I don't support that either, but everybody has a different definition of what

1988
02:33:57,400 --> 02:34:01,260
consider advocacy. I don't consider that advocacy.

1989
02:34:05,780 --> 02:34:07,820
Hopefully, like I said, I'll send the letter,

1990
02:34:07,960 --> 02:34:12,940
and I will expect that you will do everything today that you said you're going to do. Thank you.

1991
02:34:12,980 --> 02:34:13,980
You're welcome.

1992
02:34:17,020 --> 02:34:20,760
You think on? I don't have a second to my motion, so.

1993
02:34:21,280 --> 02:34:24,100
That's a problem. I can't say I can't second the commissioner.

1994
02:34:24,100 --> 02:34:28,280
I know, my colleagues didn't second it, but that's not a surprise.

1995
02:34:28,780 --> 02:34:34,440
Well, I think we did get somewhere, I think we did get somewhere because the whole point

1996
02:34:34,440 --> 02:34:42,180
of this process, at least we met Mr. Butler, and obviously when the way I operate is if I

1997
02:34:42,180 --> 02:34:47,880
have a concern with the business partner or something I see as wrong, the proper thing

1998
02:34:47,880 --> 02:34:51,660
to do is actually approach that person and have the dialogue with them.

1999
02:34:51,660 --> 02:34:59,940
So I commend you for opening up, you know, your shop, committing to what you have set out and

2000
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:07,480
Senator Tana Neda and working for the safety of jockies and horses around the nation, as billiarder

2001
02:35:07,480 --> 02:35:07,880
you are.

2002
02:35:08,420 --> 02:35:15,040
Thank you and look forward, like you said, with COVID and everything that's happening that we

2003
02:35:15,040 --> 02:35:20,180
meet in the future and maybe when you're ready, you could even call me and put on an

2004
02:35:20,180 --> 02:35:24,780
agenda item when you're ready to, you know roll out your new platform.

2005
02:35:25,500 --> 02:35:29,960
Absolutely. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

2006
02:35:30,000 --> 02:35:33,760
Thank you. Bless. Good night. Sorry you had the wait so long.

2007
02:35:33,880 --> 02:35:38,300
It's okay. Okay. Thanks. Okay. Next item.

2008
02:35:39,000 --> 02:35:44,460
Item D. Charter review committee discussion city attorney here on deck.

2009
02:35:45,560 --> 02:35:50,560
Thank you, Madam Mayor. I don't know if you will call, but I remind you back last year we decided

2010
02:35:50,560 --> 02:35:56,260
when the State of Emergency for COVID was declared that we were going to recess the charter

2011
02:35:56,260 --> 02:36:01,480
you committee for the time being part of that motion which was made by Commissioner

2012
02:36:01,480 --> 02:36:11,280
Tom was to bring it back in February of 2021. I appreciate that at the time I think we all

2013
02:36:11,280 --> 02:36:17,520
thought well by February 2021 this whole COVID situation should have some kind of you know a

2014
02:36:17,520 --> 02:36:24,720
full resolution. I don't think we're there yet, but I did want to fulfill the motion and the

2015
02:36:24,720 --> 02:36:30,040
direction that the commission had given us at the time. So the items on the agenda, I have spoken

2016
02:36:30,040 --> 02:36:37,100
to ACM-COP, who is the liaison for that board, and I have spoken to the city manager. Hello, we would

2017
02:36:37,100 --> 02:36:44,300
like to ask, is that we bring back this item for discussion again in May, hopefully by then we will be

2018
02:36:44,300 --> 02:36:50,660
a little bit further along with vaccination and a little bit more resolution or idea of

2019
02:36:50,660 --> 02:36:52,640
resolution for the Charter Review Committee.

2020
02:36:53,020 --> 02:36:56,700
I do want to commit to you all, and ACM Club.

2021
02:36:57,200 --> 02:37:02,740
And I have talked about this as has Dr. Earl, that we don't want it to go too much further

2022
02:37:02,740 --> 02:37:06,880
than May because we want to give it more time than what we had before.

2023
02:37:07,580 --> 02:37:10,580
We don't want to be in the rush that we were last time when the Charter Review Committee

2024
02:37:10,580 --> 02:37:16,560
was convened. So the idea being that if you allow us to, we'll bring back this item in May,

2025
02:37:16,940 --> 02:37:21,440
we'll reconvene depending on the situation at the time, of course. But we'll reconvene

2026
02:37:21,440 --> 02:37:27,440
hopefully be able to reconvene the committee at that point and then start the work as it was left

2027
02:37:27,440 --> 02:37:34,640
off. Just wanted to add that the committee does start about the will and discretion of the commission.

2028
02:37:34,640 --> 02:37:43,220
We did have some resignations. I'm not sure who that was on the former committee would still want to serve on the the charter review committee

2029
02:37:43,220 --> 02:37:50,860
When we recommend it, so we will be reaching out to everyone and just finding that out for you all and obviously if you wanted to change your appointment you could do that

2030
02:37:51,940 --> 02:37:52,380
so

2031
02:37:54,220 --> 02:38:03,500
We'll research all of that and make sure to bring that information if we if you want us to come back and may if that's the direction you'd be listening. Thank you

2032
02:38:03,500 --> 02:38:07,580
Thank you, um, baby's hand raised.

2033
02:38:10,260 --> 02:38:12,000
So do you want to, um,

2034
02:38:12,140 --> 02:38:14,200
commissioner allows her your hand raised?

2035
02:38:17,520 --> 02:38:21,160
I have a motion and a second. So it'll come back in May.

2036
02:38:21,560 --> 02:38:23,520
Yeah, we'll be back in May. Okay, great.

2037
02:38:24,140 --> 02:38:25,820
Could I have a roll call, please?

2038
02:38:26,420 --> 02:38:27,220
Commissioner, have you in?

2039
02:38:27,860 --> 02:38:29,900
Yes. I'm assuming that's all.

2040
02:38:31,780 --> 02:38:32,060
Yes.

2041
02:38:32,060 --> 02:38:37,480
Mary Cooper. Yes. Mr. Lesser. Yes.

2042
02:38:37,520 --> 02:38:38,860
Thanks for your Butler. Yes.

2043
02:38:39,580 --> 02:38:40,320
Welcome Carrie Spizer.

2044
02:38:42,440 --> 02:38:42,660
Okay.

2045
02:38:43,800 --> 02:38:47,160
Discussion of the contract for the tennis center.

2046
02:38:47,420 --> 02:38:51,460
I apologize that this backup was a little late.

2047
02:38:51,960 --> 02:38:55,100
I don't want to go over and over everything I sent.

2048
02:38:55,640 --> 02:38:59,500
I hope you all had a chance to read my memo

2049
02:38:59,500 --> 02:39:03,320
because I've been doing some more research on this.

2050
02:39:03,400 --> 02:39:07,200
In addition to doing this research, as mentioned,

2051
02:39:08,100 --> 02:39:09,960
I just want to go over the history,

2052
02:39:09,960 --> 02:39:12,880
really clearly about three different commissions,

2053
02:39:14,740 --> 02:39:18,480
city managers, there had to be at least four

2054
02:39:19,820 --> 02:39:24,380
five and everyone knows how important to me

2055
02:39:24,380 --> 02:39:27,600
as well as I think you share it that our park system

2056
02:39:27,600 --> 02:39:34,100
has been one of the biggest priorities here at the city and we learn last meeting how important the

2057
02:39:34,100 --> 02:39:44,200
leverage of those assets are not just quality of life, but for the economics of it raising

2058
02:39:44,200 --> 02:39:53,360
property values and making our city more desirable. With that said, I want to also say, I am not

2059
02:39:53,360 --> 02:39:56,560
to discuss going out to RFP again.

2060
02:39:57,360 --> 02:39:59,280
I've heard a whole bunch of things.

2061
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:10,760
I've shared them with Assistant City Manager club at Lank and discussed what my concerns and concerns

2062
02:40:10,760 --> 02:40:18,760
of those that actually have run tennis centers. And this is also not about how to turn better,

2063
02:40:19,800 --> 02:40:27,760
but it's about his knowledge and an understanding of operations. With that said, my golden

2064
02:40:27,760 --> 02:40:36,180
night was to point out some of my concerns. And these concerns I've heard about from residents,

2065
02:40:36,320 --> 02:40:46,160
it's as well. I believe, and I'm going to say this publicly because I feel very, very strongling.

2066
02:40:47,740 --> 02:40:56,880
We, as a legislative body, are here to provide oversight. We also get items,

2067
02:40:56,880 --> 02:41:06,580
presented for approval. It's like in a budget, they're recommended. It does not mean

2068
02:41:06,580 --> 02:41:15,660
we cannot make changes or recommend that it goes back for changes. I think it

2069
02:41:15,660 --> 02:41:24,900
will be able to move us with the presence of Dr. Earl who is an amazing leader in

2070
02:41:24,900 --> 02:41:33,760
himself and making sure that we are getting the best because it started out now we're not getting

2071
02:41:33,760 --> 02:41:39,300
what we're promised. We didn't get money off for current current construction, yes there

2072
02:41:39,300 --> 02:41:47,620
is money on the back end, but there is mechanisms behind concern to that about follow up auditing.

2073
02:41:48,420 --> 02:41:55,960
I mean, not a mandate to use our wreck track, but use their program.

2074
02:41:56,840 --> 02:42:01,020
It's a may, and I'm going to talk about that on my next slide.

2075
02:42:01,040 --> 02:42:04,120
I'm the use of may, shall, and will.

2076
02:42:04,720 --> 02:42:14,900
I think we got to start being very keen on following contracts and these types of items to make

2077
02:42:14,900 --> 02:42:43,600
that we can do our due diligence. So I'm asking today for us to direct our new city manager to review the contract, spend some time looking at it and see that we can be ensured that a lot of the concerns that I've proposed in my letter, particularly with clay courts, residents, priorities,

2078
02:42:43,600 --> 02:42:53,620
these, the feeding, the creases, and the maintenance of us, not getting any revenues whatsoever

2079
02:42:54,800 --> 02:43:02,620
from any of your ancillary things, whether it be camps, clinics, use of all the hard

2080
02:43:02,620 --> 02:43:08,340
like courts and the way to monitor that.

2081
02:43:09,720 --> 02:43:14,720
So I know it's tired of discussing this.

2082
02:43:15,100 --> 02:43:18,100
But I definitely think there's still an opportunity

2083
02:43:18,690 --> 02:43:24,740
to make sure within this contract that we've

2084
02:43:24,740 --> 02:43:28,720
dotted every eye and every team.

2085
02:43:28,720 --> 02:43:38,980
And I was very fresh, straighted at the last meeting as you all were too, but we have gone through many of these changes.

2086
02:43:40,320 --> 02:43:45,440
So with City Manager and Leadership, and I think we're getting on the right track.

2087
02:43:47,800 --> 02:43:52,540
So I have City Park, do you have your hand raised?

2088
02:43:53,200 --> 02:43:57,300
Yes, Madam Mayor, just wanted to let you know for the record. We do have one voice now for this item.

2089
02:43:57,300 --> 02:43:59,860
Oh, oh, that is a vision.

2090
02:44:00,420 --> 02:44:01,680
I'd like to hear it now.

2091
02:44:02,160 --> 02:44:02,440
Oh, yes.

2092
02:44:02,660 --> 02:44:03,000
I didn't.

2093
02:44:03,060 --> 02:44:03,860
I didn't know.

2094
02:44:04,360 --> 02:44:05,440
Mr. Davis, please.

2095
02:44:05,800 --> 02:44:06,220
Excuse me.

2096
02:44:08,210 --> 02:44:08,450
Hello.

2097
02:44:08,710 --> 02:44:09,810
This is Barbara Svalp.

2098
02:44:10,050 --> 02:44:11,030
I think it's one time.

2099
02:44:11,030 --> 02:44:12,730
I've got a lot of thoughts in the creation.

2100
02:44:12,950 --> 02:44:17,170
Advisory Board member, as well as player at Goldwood.

2101
02:44:17,450 --> 02:44:19,030
I also tennis club.

2102
02:44:20,250 --> 02:44:28,010
I am on record as having concerns and speak on behalf of many of the resident players.

2103
02:44:28,010 --> 02:44:31,500
as well as our neighbors.

2104
02:44:32,500 --> 02:44:39,420
We residents have been paying to build this beautiful facility through our taxes and

2105
02:44:39,420 --> 02:44:48,000
feel that the contract has written does not really need the needs of the city, as far as

2106
02:44:48,000 --> 02:44:50,220
financial reimbursement.

2107
02:44:50,220 --> 02:44:55,020
There's definitely favoring the franchise selected.

2108
02:44:56,620 --> 02:44:59,940
I really believe that I would...

2109
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:10,100
I hope that the commission would re-evaluate and ensure a reasonable profit for the city as well as a realistic

2110
02:45:10,100 --> 02:45:29,560
fee and usage for the residents. As I read the contract, it appears very much in favor of the franchise, where we still in the city have to pay for electricity, landscaping, several of the things.

2111
02:45:29,560 --> 02:45:39,560
and not get any money, see any money coming back until after the franchise or receive an

2112
02:45:39,560 --> 02:45:54,040
exorbitant amount of money. My phone number is 9, 7, 5, 4, 2, 2, 1, 7, 7, 3, 4, and my email

2113
02:45:54,040 --> 02:46:08,720
is Bobby Green Southwick at gmail.com, I would hope that the commissioners would realize that

2114
02:46:08,720 --> 02:46:17,320
this is hitting us in the pocketbook, and we should be able to see much more money coming

2115
02:46:17,320 --> 02:46:26,320
to the city and also to have a favorable fee, especially for residents who've already paid through

2116
02:46:26,320 --> 02:46:27,300
the jail bond.

2117
02:46:28,200 --> 02:46:29,220
Thank you.

2118
02:46:31,980 --> 02:46:32,240
Thank you.

2119
02:46:32,240 --> 02:46:33,480
There are no more speakers, Madam Mayor.

2120
02:46:33,520 --> 02:46:34,100
Thank you.

2121
02:46:34,160 --> 02:46:41,760
Thank you, City Clerk and why I know Barbara, she's a dear friend and a tennis player.

2122
02:46:41,760 --> 02:46:51,460
This is it. I've had debates with her that things aren't 100% free. So I just want to go

2123
02:46:51,460 --> 02:47:01,500
on record as saying that. And I forgot to add all Florida tennis is really what they operate

2124
02:47:01,500 --> 02:47:10,260
under. And when I looked online and less had changed the numbers that I got here, actually

2125
02:47:10,260 --> 02:47:22,920
Mr. Smatz does not own all Florida tennis. He is actually a member of the board and a

2126
02:47:22,920 --> 02:47:30,840
quote-unquote operator. So I don't know how many other affiliates or what their structure is,

2127
02:47:30,840 --> 02:47:39,340
but I'm concerned that we are just hiring somebody who gets going to do staffing. And I think

2128
02:47:39,340 --> 02:47:51,860
that's critical note to be made. Okay? On Vice Mayor, but I'll start off by saying that I

2129
02:47:51,860 --> 02:47:59,540
want support this tonight and I want to say that Mayor, I did spend time reading through

2130
02:47:59,540 --> 02:48:06,860
your memo and trying to do research to understand where you were coming from with the information

2131
02:48:06,860 --> 02:48:13,860
that you were provided, so although we've had changes in leadership at the city, I think that

2132
02:48:13,860 --> 02:48:24,140
this frankly contract was done really well. And I don't want to second-guess the employees who

2133
02:48:24,140 --> 02:48:31,100
spent a significant amount of time. Obviously, it was a year from the time that we approved the

2134
02:48:31,100 --> 02:48:38,220
the RFQ to all four to 10 us to the time that the contract was brought back to us.

2135
02:48:38,440 --> 02:48:46,240
And during that time there was a lot of negotiations, a lot of detailed discussions into how to ensure that the city got a good deal.

2136
02:48:46,560 --> 02:48:51,840
And certainly the deal that we got is certainly far better than any deal that we had with the prior 10 us in our operators.

2137
02:48:52,720 --> 02:48:59,900
So I think the partner based on all the evidence that we had that came before us at the city commission meetings was fantastic.

2138
02:48:59,900 --> 02:49:07,580
and all the reviews that I've read about this particular operator is fantastic. From my perspective,

2139
02:49:08,520 --> 02:49:13,860
he, the company, seems to be a great partner represented by Jesse Schmatz.

2140
02:49:15,180 --> 02:49:20,600
And I know, in speaking with, just yesterday I spoke with the gentleman who lives in our neighborhood,

2141
02:49:21,020 --> 02:49:28,580
who you may know, who plays for, has played on the Davis Cup for another country. He's very familiar

2142
02:49:28,580 --> 02:49:36,220
with Jesse Smatz and also the twins, I don't remember their names, who are the most successful

2143
02:49:36,220 --> 02:49:42,300
Olympic athletes of all time playing doubles tennis, one of whom lives in the city of

2144
02:49:42,300 --> 02:49:50,240
Hallendale and has also highly recommended this company. So I think the city really did a great job,

2145
02:49:50,640 --> 02:49:54,980
and I think that the negotiates came back as really excellent, and there are a lot of protections

2146
02:49:54,980 --> 02:49:59,840
for the residents and the city within the contract, so I'm not sure where that information is coming

2147
02:50:01,940 --> 02:50:09,440
In tonight's, we already have proved the budget tonight, but you can see that the contractor, the all-forward

2148
02:50:09,440 --> 02:50:16,060
attendance, is already paid us a hundred thousand dollars. Actually, 50,000 of that is early, because it

2149
02:50:16,060 --> 02:50:22,980
wasn't due until TCO, and he's also paying another hundred thousand dollars, which will go into an operating reserve account.

2150
02:50:22,980 --> 02:50:41,680
And then on top of that, instead of asking for additional money that we would go to purchase all of the things like nets and all the other things that go along you can read in the contract those details that all Florida tennis is required to pay for those things as well.

2151
02:50:42,120 --> 02:50:51,040
As far as protecting the city, there are very strong audit provisions that are in the contract that I think were negotiated.

2152
02:50:51,040 --> 02:50:53,340
and I think that they were the right thing to negotiate.

2153
02:50:53,560 --> 02:50:55,560
You can go back and look at the contract from September.

2154
02:50:56,140 --> 02:50:59,360
There's also requirements that have the course

2155
02:50:59,360 --> 02:51:01,200
always be made available to residents.

2156
02:51:02,060 --> 02:51:05,660
So it's not that they can take over our tennis center

2157
02:51:05,660 --> 02:51:08,640
and we won't have access to it for the residents.

2158
02:51:09,700 --> 02:51:13,080
So I did look through all of the things

2159
02:51:13,080 --> 02:51:14,100
that are in your memo.

2160
02:51:14,320 --> 02:51:18,220
I did look at those to see how they relate back to the contract.

2161
02:51:18,800 --> 02:51:20,700
And there was nothing there that I can see

2162
02:51:20,700 --> 02:51:26,680
It really justifies us asking for any change.

2163
02:51:27,320 --> 02:51:31,160
That said, of course, Dr. Earl is our city manager.

2164
02:51:31,540 --> 02:51:33,420
Always has the option and the right.

2165
02:51:34,040 --> 02:51:36,880
If he feels that a partner isn't,

2166
02:51:36,880 --> 02:51:39,840
there is always termination clauses in every contract mayor.

2167
02:51:40,400 --> 02:51:43,220
And if the city manager or the city feels

2168
02:51:43,220 --> 02:51:46,900
that we're not getting, what we deserve from a contractor,

2169
02:51:47,440 --> 02:51:49,840
there are always termination clauses in order

2170
02:51:49,840 --> 02:51:56,780
for us to be able to get out of a agreement and that's and that's really can protect both parties

2171
02:51:57,600 --> 02:52:04,260
for a lot of different reasons. So I just I really spent a lot of time reading this to

2172
02:52:04,260 --> 02:52:11,740
understand your concerns and I don't share them and so I'm going to make a motion that we move

2173
02:52:11,740 --> 02:52:18,400
forward with the contract as it is and we reaffirm our commitment to all Florida tennis as a partner

2174
02:52:18,400 --> 02:52:26,960
and look forward to a grand opening, hopefully April, hopefully sooner, and a very, very,

2175
02:52:27,300 --> 02:52:31,860
successful tennis center with a new partner. And that's a motion I'll make.

2176
02:52:32,500 --> 02:52:33,100
Thank you, Mayor.

2177
02:52:33,380 --> 02:52:38,510
You may, you asked some questions and I didn't want to go piece by piece. First of all,

2178
02:52:39,720 --> 02:52:44,690
the City Manager can't reopen in the contract without direction from us.

2179
02:52:44,690 --> 02:52:50,190
And that's what I was told, and Dr. Earl looked correct me if I'm wrong.

2180
02:52:50,590 --> 02:52:51,850
That's not what I said, Mayor.

2181
02:52:52,030 --> 02:52:53,910
I didn't say that he could reopen the contract.

2182
02:52:54,130 --> 02:52:55,290
I said we always have the opportunity.

2183
02:52:55,310 --> 02:52:55,710
I know.

2184
02:52:56,110 --> 02:52:59,610
But Commissioner Butler let me ask you some questions, though,

2185
02:52:59,970 --> 02:53:03,250
because after talking directly to the staff,

2186
02:53:03,450 --> 02:53:05,590
and maybe you know something I don't know.

2187
02:53:06,410 --> 02:53:12,370
I know this contract was a contract from my C.A.

2188
02:53:12,370 --> 02:53:18,850
It wasn't even mirrored to another tennis facility and there's many of them.

2189
02:53:19,190 --> 02:53:21,210
I was very surprised at that.

2190
02:53:21,710 --> 02:53:26,150
I, you know, you would fit the contract for the service.

2191
02:53:26,830 --> 02:53:31,870
Secondly, I've Kathy Schenz is a good director.

2192
02:53:32,170 --> 02:53:37,110
She's not an expert with tennis facilities.

2193
02:53:38,090 --> 02:53:38,210
Okay?

2194
02:53:38,210 --> 02:53:49,410
She did not. The contract was reviewed by ten cloth for certain items reviewed by the city

2195
02:53:49,410 --> 02:53:59,370
attorney. I imagine for legal sufficiency. So I don't know who else negotiated this

2196
02:54:00,950 --> 02:54:06,560
And I'm not saying that she is bad.

2197
02:54:07,190 --> 02:54:08,670
Are there specific issues?

2198
02:54:08,670 --> 02:54:11,630
Are there specific issues of the contract that you...

2199
02:54:11,630 --> 02:54:12,670
Yes, okay, I will.

2200
02:54:13,710 --> 02:54:13,990
I will.

2201
02:54:14,310 --> 02:54:15,730
Because, you know what I'm saying?

2202
02:54:15,730 --> 02:54:16,670
Let me just...

2203
02:54:16,670 --> 02:54:17,430
Let me just...

2204
02:54:17,430 --> 02:54:19,170
Let me just finish what I'm saying here.

2205
02:54:19,530 --> 02:54:20,370
I am...

2206
02:54:21,210 --> 02:54:22,790
I have made a motion.

2207
02:54:23,810 --> 02:54:25,540
I am not going to support undermining

2208
02:54:25,540 --> 02:54:32,080
Undermining and second guessing the staff who've spent hours and hours, you know, I don't know who what's going back out

2209
02:54:32,620 --> 02:54:36,400
What's I don't want to go back out. This isn't about

2210
02:54:36,400 --> 02:54:40,980
Just see this is about the contract

2211
02:54:40,980 --> 02:54:46,800
Okay, and I was trying this safe time, but I'll go through

2212
02:54:46,800 --> 02:54:53,800
But mayor you undermine the good faith of our ability to negotiate with vendors when every time we negotiate and

2213
02:54:53,800 --> 02:54:55,500
to execute a contract because this is an excellent contract.

2214
02:54:55,680 --> 02:54:57,620
I'm not sure if you're finding any things.

2215
02:54:57,640 --> 02:54:58,780
You do are undermining it.

2216
02:54:58,780 --> 02:54:59,940
How does a vendor another?

2217
02:55:00,000 --> 02:55:12,880
Good business partner, want to come in and work with the city when they actually keep a contract in good faith. And then three months later, we're questioning it and saying, no, we're trying to get back to the terms that we had, was the dress.

2218
02:55:13,000 --> 02:55:16,920
As a business person, I wouldn't want to do business with a partner that way, mayor.

2219
02:55:17,160 --> 02:55:18,840
And so I'm not going to, I'm not going to, I'm not going to, I'm not going to support.

2220
02:55:19,160 --> 02:55:20,760
Just want this kind.

2221
02:55:20,840 --> 02:55:22,280
I'm not going to support, mayor.

2222
02:55:22,580 --> 02:55:23,400
You're going to have fun.

2223
02:55:23,760 --> 02:55:25,380
Well, let me answer your question.

2224
02:55:26,100 --> 02:55:29,920
I actually, I don't need you to answer my question because I'm not going to support it, mayor.

2225
02:55:29,920 --> 02:55:44,500
I will have a contract prior and I think if I if you're not clear, okay, the guidelines that you're saying have the courts

2226
02:55:44,500 --> 02:55:52,320
There's no guidelines in contract for clay courts period. Okay, that's number one

2227
02:55:53,600 --> 02:56:04,820
There's not really a true, unless we've done our two children that we know who's walking

2228
02:56:04,820 --> 02:56:12,560
on and who's walking off unless they're going to be hired to use rept tract, just like

2229
02:56:12,560 --> 02:56:18,720
you go to, be Johnson Park, just like you walk in the wine and the sea eggs, it's a checks

2230
02:56:18,720 --> 02:56:22,840
and balance that we knew, excuse me, excuse me,

2231
02:56:23,160 --> 02:56:25,880
finish. You already said you're not supporting it,

2232
02:56:25,920 --> 02:56:28,720
but I want to make sure my colleagues understand it.

2233
02:56:29,860 --> 02:56:30,640
All right. All right.

2234
02:56:30,960 --> 02:56:33,740
Now, I'm talking to everyone now. Okay.

2235
02:56:34,220 --> 02:56:36,100
And I can't hear it. All right.

2236
02:56:37,420 --> 02:56:39,440
So, there's no, um,

2237
02:56:40,840 --> 02:56:43,980
per se and a way this goes on.

2238
02:56:44,240 --> 02:56:47,180
If you read through it, then you play tennis,

2239
02:56:47,180 --> 02:57:15,140
And you know what tournaments are, okay, there is ways to operate tournaments that if you're not familiar with tournaments and have their run for ages, they hide money, there's no clause that there's no cash transfers on the courts.

2240
02:57:15,140 --> 02:57:23,800
So, you will have, you will have, I'm going to explain it because I am very familiar with tennis too.

2241
02:57:24,060 --> 02:57:25,420
Mayor, why can't we all go on?

2242
02:57:25,420 --> 02:57:30,980
You could assume the same thing of Cafe C today, or any other vendor that could take cash and not,

2243
02:57:31,300 --> 02:57:34,140
guitar who could be doing the same thing for God's sake.

2244
02:57:34,540 --> 02:57:39,400
But you can't limit the ability of a vendor to take cash.

2245
02:57:39,400 --> 02:57:48,620
not going, that's why I said instead of in this contract, they're not required, do

2246
02:57:48,620 --> 02:57:53,560
wreck track. At least well, no, who's going on and off our property?

2247
02:57:54,120 --> 02:57:59,700
Well, we have a lot of abilities if we choose to do that and the audit allows us to review

2248
02:57:59,700 --> 02:58:04,400
the records of the vendor in detail and they're very strong audit provision in the contract,

2249
02:58:04,400 --> 02:58:05,620
But I think it's really well done.

2250
02:58:06,180 --> 02:58:06,880
All right.

2251
02:58:07,240 --> 02:58:08,260
Well, I don't know.

2252
02:58:09,100 --> 02:58:16,000
Again, I would like the opportunity for Dr. Earl,

2253
02:58:16,280 --> 02:58:19,340
and if he wants to speak tonight, if he believes

2254
02:58:19,340 --> 02:58:22,620
it would be a beneficial to our city,

2255
02:58:23,060 --> 02:58:26,240
for him to review the contract.

2256
02:58:28,040 --> 02:58:33,200
And that I understand the authority would have

2257
02:58:33,200 --> 02:58:40,140
to be given them to do it. And if I'm wrong, I'd like Dr. Earl to address that.

2258
02:58:45,550 --> 02:58:56,370
So, I'll address this in two ways. One, I think that there is a, that there are legal guidelines pertaining to the contract that we currently have right now that the city attorney can speak to.

2259
02:58:56,550 --> 02:59:06,850
In regards to this particular contract, I was trying to kind of stay out of it in terms of this particular discussion, but I will give you my honest opinion.

2260
02:59:06,850 --> 02:59:16,070
honest opinion is this, the commission has voted on an agreement that they have entered into

2261
02:59:16,070 --> 02:59:25,470
with a contractor. We have not fulfilled that agreement yet because we are pretty much

2262
02:59:25,470 --> 02:59:32,850
the most part just entered into that particular agreement. So in my opinion, and this is my opinion

2263
02:59:32,850 --> 02:59:41,940
because it was asked, we should let this contractor do what is in that agreement or not do

2264
02:59:41,940 --> 02:59:46,680
what is in that agreement and then either the commission or staff will address it at that

2265
02:59:46,680 --> 02:59:56,420
point in time. So I am trying to not take sides because there's never a win-win but I will

2266
02:59:56,420 --> 03:00:00,000
be my honest opinion. And that is my honest opinion. I think that that

2267
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:08,300
At the contractor, she should fulfill the contract that we have entered into. I believe that contract was executed to the attorney or not.

2268
03:00:08,840 --> 03:00:16,740
That contract was executed. Is there any legal liability, Jennifer, for us to reopen this thing now at all?

2269
03:00:16,740 --> 03:00:20,140
But my understanding is that the contract was executed.

2270
03:00:20,440 --> 03:00:25,820
I'll have directressions verify that and upon execution there was supposed to be a 50,000

2271
03:00:25,820 --> 03:00:31,580
moment payment which I'm understanding is that it has been received and I'll ask directressions

2272
03:00:31,580 --> 03:00:39,220
to write me if that's taken in any way. So at this point, every contract we do have has termination

2273
03:00:39,220 --> 03:00:43,960
provisions in it, of course, and include information for convenience provisions and wouldn't

2274
03:00:43,960 --> 03:00:49,520
have any right under the existing contract to just a unilaterally require

2275
03:00:49,520 --> 03:00:55,220
a real appreciation. So that would be something that would have to be discussed

2276
03:00:55,220 --> 03:01:00,440
with the contractor at the commission. They're right to us to try to do that. But

2277
03:01:00,440 --> 03:01:04,880
right now we do have an approved and executed contract. It would be a little

2278
03:01:04,880 --> 03:01:10,640
difficult to try to change business terms on it without terminating. Something.

2279
03:01:10,640 --> 03:01:16,650
So it really is your direction of mayor and commissioners.

2280
03:01:19,480 --> 03:01:24,260
Yeah, wait, you're not, you're not, you're Mike's not on.

2281
03:01:24,700 --> 03:01:25,580
I'm sorry.

2282
03:01:26,400 --> 03:01:27,560
I can hear you.

2283
03:01:27,960 --> 03:01:28,500
I'm sorry.

2284
03:01:28,960 --> 03:01:31,980
So it would be at your direction, mayor and commissioners,

2285
03:01:32,140 --> 03:01:34,280
what direction or what step we take.

2286
03:01:34,820 --> 03:01:38,800
You know, staff is always here to implement your decisions.

2287
03:01:39,700 --> 03:01:41,360
So it's up to this body.

2288
03:01:42,480 --> 03:01:42,660
Okay.

2289
03:01:42,660 --> 03:01:47,520
And even to direct you to review it.

2290
03:01:47,740 --> 03:01:51,980
That wouldn't be, yes, it would be up to the spotty to direct that review.

2291
03:01:52,460 --> 03:01:57,720
And give you, after your due diligence, to report that.

2292
03:01:58,100 --> 03:01:58,740
Yeah, absolutely.

2293
03:01:58,980 --> 03:02:00,720
I mean, that is the will of the commission.

2294
03:02:01,700 --> 03:02:05,760
Then we will go over the contract and we will report back on what we find.

2295
03:02:06,520 --> 03:02:08,000
That's that's just in my goal.

2296
03:02:08,320 --> 03:02:09,480
That's all I want done.

2297
03:02:12,100 --> 03:02:16,980
I have buttons split and I'm going to I'm going to move that because there was an

2298
03:02:16,980 --> 03:02:17,560
ascension.

2299
03:02:17,620 --> 03:02:24,400
I'm going to move that justice and this for this new city manager to review this

2300
03:02:24,400 --> 03:02:27,230
contract and report back to us.

2301
03:02:28,500 --> 03:02:33,120
Yeah, I was going to stuck with you, but there's motion, but you guys were talking, I couldn't

2302
03:02:33,120 --> 03:02:33,500
drop.

2303
03:02:34,880 --> 03:02:35,380
Okay.

2304
03:02:42,310 --> 03:02:43,850
It was not next.

2305
03:02:49,870 --> 03:02:50,830
Thank you.

2306
03:02:51,450 --> 03:02:54,170
So I have to agree with Commissioner Butler.

2307
03:02:54,290 --> 03:03:06,630
I think it is not in good business sense to go through these long negotiations with someone who received the highest points on this RFP.

2308
03:03:07,830 --> 03:03:10,890
Approved a contract, not just a draft or anything.

2309
03:03:11,150 --> 03:03:15,270
Approved a contract enter into what we see as a partnership.

2310
03:03:15,270 --> 03:03:17,670
But as soon as this park is going to be opening,

2311
03:03:17,810 --> 03:03:20,770
they're going to be operating and having the tennis lessons

2312
03:03:20,770 --> 03:03:22,730
for the kids and with the Olympians.

2313
03:03:23,770 --> 03:03:26,430
And then to say, you know what, I don't think we

2314
03:03:26,430 --> 03:03:27,490
got enough out of it.

2315
03:03:27,930 --> 03:03:31,730
And I think this contract is actually very generous to the city.

2316
03:03:32,530 --> 03:03:36,110
I think it's more generous to the city than the previous contract

2317
03:03:36,110 --> 03:03:38,130
with the previous operator.

2318
03:03:40,170 --> 03:03:45,250
And yes, I think every contract starts with no contract

2319
03:03:45,250 --> 03:03:53,430
starts from scratch. attorneys use, you know, previous contracts to work off of and completely

2320
03:03:53,430 --> 03:03:58,870
edit, but I don't think it's an issue that the Honda YMCA contract was used as a starter for

2321
03:03:58,870 --> 03:04:04,750
this when it's completely revamped and totally different in its final form. And I would definitely

2322
03:04:04,750 --> 03:04:15,230
like to hear from our city attorney if she, you know, differences between this contract and the

2323
03:04:15,230 --> 03:04:25,030
If we will receive more revenue from it, because I don't think the claim that we won't be receiving enough revenue or what we could be receiving is true in this sense

2324
03:04:25,030 --> 03:04:26,890
Are it as decayed by our contract?

2325
03:04:27,430 --> 03:04:34,650
So I don't know if that would be for us in the attorney or maybe director Sean's, but I do want to hear a little bit about how this contract was crafted and

2326
03:04:34,650 --> 03:04:37,190
The revenue, but I

2327
03:04:38,330 --> 03:04:42,050
Doing a reopening. I don't think there's any issue with this contract. Thank you

2328
03:04:46,400 --> 03:04:56,660
To answer your question, Commissioner Alviana, the appropriate person and discuss the business terms on it would be direct chance, and she's familiar with the previous.

2329
03:04:59,400 --> 03:04:59,940
Okay, thank you.

2330
03:05:00,500 --> 03:05:05,300
Through the chair of the same major, can we hear from Dr. Shons on the revenue aspect?

2331
03:05:06,780 --> 03:05:10,860
Absolutely. I don't want to thank Kat for speaking on her vacation.

2332
03:05:11,420 --> 03:05:15,820
I was going to say I didn't know she was going to be here because she was on her vacation.

2333
03:05:16,300 --> 03:05:17,660
Thank you for that.

2334
03:05:20,180 --> 03:05:21,180
Director Shons.

2335
03:05:22,500 --> 03:05:31,300
Kathy Shons Park's Recreation and Open Spaces Director. Thank you for allowing me to kind of overview the differences between the two contracts.

2336
03:05:31,300 --> 03:05:41,480
We'll start with the initial capital investment as Mr. Trump that is a academy was there for well over 30 years.

2337
03:05:41,820 --> 03:05:46,060
So I can't speak to if he had an initial investment at the beginning.

2338
03:05:47,160 --> 03:05:56,260
However, that I'm aware of there was not initial investment back when his contract is started, whereas this one has an initial investment of $300,000.

2339
03:05:56,260 --> 03:06:04,240
100,000 towards construction, 100,000 to the reserve account, and minimum of 100,000 in costs for

2340
03:06:05,460 --> 03:06:10,900
what we call furniture fixtures, any equipment. There's some different wording for how

2341
03:06:10,900 --> 03:06:18,640
tournaments are held. They cannot start earlier than 11. I remember a guest play court, so it's a

2342
03:06:18,640 --> 03:06:24,600
little bit different than it was before before it was 10 and the numbers are worded a little bit different.

2343
03:06:24,600 --> 03:06:35,540
And the previous contract, the city paid the operator, $1180 per month, and then $1600 from

2344
03:06:35,540 --> 03:06:38,980
in December in January, and $1180 the other months.

2345
03:06:39,140 --> 03:06:42,040
In this contract, we're not paying the operator anything.

2346
03:06:42,820 --> 03:06:44,820
The operator is covering all his expenses.

2347
03:06:46,400 --> 03:06:50,400
In the previous contract, the city made all repairs and maintenance.

2348
03:06:50,400 --> 03:06:55,560
kept the grounds clean. We even provided the paper products for the

2349
03:06:55,560 --> 03:07:01,340
restrooms and that kind of thing and on this contract the the operator is

2350
03:07:01,340 --> 03:07:04,820
responsible for those kind of things keeping everything clean and

2351
03:07:04,820 --> 03:07:09,200
and working and operating order. We will do the landscaping because we'll

2352
03:07:09,200 --> 03:07:13,800
do the landscaping at the park as well and we did the landscaping before but

2353
03:07:15,000 --> 03:07:19,580
the will be responsible for the repairs and maintenance of the premises. Major

2354
03:07:19,580 --> 03:07:25,240
repairs like if the roof needs to be replaced that that's what that reserve account is for

2355
03:07:25,240 --> 03:07:31,720
the city would be responsible for that. Equipment and supplies again they'll supply all their

2356
03:07:31,720 --> 03:07:37,900
equipment and supplies so if they're windscreens rip and need to be repaired they're responsible for

2357
03:07:37,900 --> 03:07:43,260
or replace they'll responsible for replacing them and the previous contract the city was responsible for that

2358
03:07:44,540 --> 03:07:51,740
utilities, we're paying electric water and sewer, and they're paying all other utilities

2359
03:07:52,660 --> 03:07:58,680
like any internet and any of that kind of thing in the previous contract we paid everything.

2360
03:07:59,120 --> 03:08:05,220
The main difference with utilities is in the previous contract, the operator was not responsible

2361
03:08:05,220 --> 03:08:12,480
for covering the light fees for things like their tournaments or tennis lessons or things where

2362
03:08:12,480 --> 03:08:19,040
city did not get a percentage. In this contract, the contractor is required to pay us the

2363
03:08:19,040 --> 03:08:26,980
light fee when they use the fields for those business items, those services that the city

2364
03:08:26,980 --> 03:08:33,360
does not share the revenue until after 300,000. So if the lights are on because a member is using

2365
03:08:33,360 --> 03:08:39,100
the courts, that's included, but if the lights are on because they're providing a private tennis

2366
03:08:39,100 --> 03:08:42,840
or they're running a clinic, or they're doing a tournament.

2367
03:08:43,280 --> 03:08:45,900
They have to pay the city the light fees.

2368
03:08:47,680 --> 03:08:50,540
They both pay their taxes the same thing.

2369
03:08:51,420 --> 03:08:55,980
In the previous contract, the city received 100% of membership fees.

2370
03:08:56,140 --> 03:09:00,240
Up till 23,159 dollars a year.

2371
03:09:01,240 --> 03:09:03,620
And then we split it 70, 30 with the contract.

2372
03:09:03,960 --> 03:09:08,000
In the current contract, the city keeps 100% of membership.

2373
03:09:08,000 --> 03:09:23,040
I guess fees at no there's no upper limit the same what court fees that same limit applied for the old the former contract so we only got a hundred percent up to that twenty three I don't know where that number came from because it's a very

2374
03:09:24,640 --> 03:09:30,940
But the city only got 100% up till that amount and then split it 70 30 with the contractor.

2375
03:09:32,400 --> 03:09:37,220
Now, we get 100% of all of them and then clay courts.

2376
03:09:37,540 --> 03:09:44,880
The contractor gets 100% up to 300,000 and then after 300,000 of all their businesses,

2377
03:09:45,000 --> 03:09:51,720
whether it's concession or pro-shop or private lessons or clinics or cancer tournaments or clay court use.

2378
03:09:51,720 --> 03:09:59,820
The city splits it. I think it's 96 for 96% of the contractor for percent of the city and the intention

2379
03:10:00,000 --> 03:10:09,300
Was that that will go to the reserve account to help us make sure that we have money available when major mechanical things need to be replaced.

2380
03:10:10,860 --> 03:10:28,460
Lessons, tournaments, camps, clinics, pro-shop, concession, all of that. In the former contract, the contract for kept 100% of that with no limit. In this contract, the contractor keeps 100% up to 300,000, and then the city revenue shares after that, the 96-4 split.

2381
03:10:30,100 --> 03:10:34,500
So, that's pretty much the, that's pretty much the basic, isn't it?

2382
03:10:36,910 --> 03:10:43,550
Thank you, Dr. Holmes. I think this, very good, but he says this is a much more favorable contract to the city than the past.

2383
03:10:43,910 --> 03:10:45,870
I really don't see a reason to reopen.

2384
03:10:50,100 --> 03:10:51,560
Commissioner Lazarum.

2385
03:10:57,740 --> 03:10:58,260
We can't hear.

2386
03:10:58,680 --> 03:10:59,320
You're muted.

2387
03:11:01,180 --> 03:11:02,140
Oh, okay.

2388
03:11:02,480 --> 03:11:04,200
Oh, it's like, I didn't know if you could hear.

2389
03:11:08,680 --> 03:11:09,140
Okay.

2390
03:11:09,140 --> 03:11:12,140
I have a motion to call the question.

2391
03:11:13,340 --> 03:11:14,440
For the overall call, please.

2392
03:11:17,180 --> 03:11:19,700
I'm sorry, Madam Mayor, which question?

2393
03:11:25,230 --> 03:11:27,330
I'm sorry, Commissioner Nazareth, I can't hear you.

2394
03:11:27,610 --> 03:11:28,250
I can't hear you.

2395
03:11:28,550 --> 03:11:29,610
Well, I don't have a motion.

2396
03:11:32,410 --> 03:11:33,370
You're still muted.

2397
03:11:33,950 --> 03:11:35,110
It's not working.

2398
03:11:35,490 --> 03:11:38,130
No, she's not muted, but her mic does not appear to be working.

2399
03:11:39,430 --> 03:11:40,430
Hello, can you hear me?

2400
03:11:40,430 --> 03:11:41,350
Do you have a connected?

2401
03:11:42,170 --> 03:11:43,170
The plugged in.

2402
03:11:48,470 --> 03:11:49,530
To repeat your motion.

2403
03:11:50,810 --> 03:11:58,010
I, the motion was to move forward with the existing contract without any changes in

2404
03:11:58,010 --> 03:12:05,410
re-unfirm, re-affirm, or commitment to the award, the awardee, all tennis, to have a successful

2405
03:12:05,410 --> 03:12:07,930
relationship with and forward with them.

2406
03:12:09,390 --> 03:12:10,370
I had seconder.

2407
03:12:11,130 --> 03:12:12,410
Did I ever get all police?

2408
03:12:12,690 --> 03:12:13,710
Commissioner Lima-Top.

2409
03:12:15,870 --> 03:12:16,510
Thank you.

2410
03:12:16,510 --> 03:12:16,630
Yes.

2411
03:12:17,490 --> 03:12:18,130
May Cooper.

2412
03:12:18,750 --> 03:12:18,850
No.

2413
03:12:20,390 --> 03:12:21,350
May spare Butler.

2414
03:12:22,890 --> 03:12:23,610
Mr. Habibana.

2415
03:12:24,550 --> 03:12:24,850
Yes.

2416
03:12:25,670 --> 03:12:26,710
Lovely carries for one.

2417
03:12:27,810 --> 03:12:28,970
Thank you.

2418
03:12:29,530 --> 03:12:30,290
Thank you.

2419
03:12:30,290 --> 03:12:30,370
Thank you.

2420
03:12:30,810 --> 03:12:31,650
Thank you.

2421
03:12:31,650 --> 03:12:32,490
Thank you.

2422
03:12:33,110 --> 03:12:36,530
I do hope you remain sensitive to some of the notes I had shared.

2423
03:12:36,970 --> 03:12:37,990
Thank you.

2424
03:12:38,730 --> 03:12:44,250
Okay, item F, a discussion of proposed changes to the protocol manual.

2425
03:12:52,130 --> 03:12:54,470
One second, I get my notes here.

2426
03:13:02,290 --> 03:13:03,810
I'll just go right to.

2427
03:13:07,820 --> 03:13:11,160
I just comment really quickly. Before we start.

2428
03:13:14,610 --> 03:13:15,870
So, Mary, are you sent here?

2429
03:13:17,390 --> 03:13:19,370
I guess back up memo yesterday.

2430
03:13:19,690 --> 03:13:21,910
I have been very busy since yesterday.

2431
03:13:22,610 --> 03:13:25,170
It took my neighbor to get her vaccine. It took like five hours.

2432
03:13:25,450 --> 03:13:27,230
I just haven't had time to review it.

2433
03:13:27,230 --> 03:13:31,170
So I really haven't been able to go and adapt and look at it.

2434
03:13:31,310 --> 03:13:35,270
So I really can't make any votes tonight on amendment.

2435
03:13:35,450 --> 03:13:36,690
We can just have it right.

2436
03:13:38,310 --> 03:13:43,750
And we can move to move the item to later meeting, because this is one of Commissioner

2437
03:13:45,850 --> 03:13:46,730
Havianas items.

2438
03:13:47,630 --> 03:13:50,130
Well, first of all, first of all, it's my item.

2439
03:13:50,250 --> 03:13:51,490
And I don't mind the divide.

2440
03:13:51,810 --> 03:13:54,810
I mean, I mean, the protocol manual, I understand this is your item.

2441
03:13:54,810 --> 03:14:00,510
I'm just asking if we could move it so that we can have more time, but we were only, yeah, I'll make a motion.

2442
03:14:01,050 --> 03:14:05,730
Second, I'm going to motion in a second and it's fine and I'm sorry for the delay.

2443
03:14:06,210 --> 03:14:10,110
I had to do cut and paste that was the easiest way to set up the presentation.

2444
03:14:10,910 --> 03:14:21,670
And I appreciate Commissioner Harmon, you can move into the protocols, but I'll be respect.

2445
03:14:21,670 --> 03:14:28,910
We have a protocol in the manner because I established it when I was in the office and you guys might not know that so

2446
03:14:30,210 --> 03:14:33,670
I'm going to say a curve for that commitment as well.

2447
03:14:34,490 --> 03:14:39,110
So, it's just self-explanatory.

2448
03:14:39,570 --> 03:14:50,150
I don't mind not going into it, but I want you to remain sensitive that if we do deferred,

2449
03:14:50,770 --> 03:14:59,790
I do want to put it on and I don't want it at the end of the agenda. I'd rather get it done and figure out it's just pretty

2450
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:07,100
Pretty much, it looks like a lot of reading, but the reading is actually the existing protocol language.

2451
03:15:07,740 --> 03:15:15,360
And it will, I felt the best way to, to move forward. And I didn't want to do it piecemeal.

2452
03:15:16,520 --> 03:15:23,240
So as long as it comes on and we're not waiting till the last hour, it seems to be with,

2453
03:15:25,640 --> 03:15:29,760
even my communications when everybody is tired and exhausted.

2454
03:15:29,760 --> 03:15:34,680
it. So we have two more meetings after this one. So we're not

2455
03:15:34,680 --> 03:15:38,840
nerding that. So I know. I appreciate it.

2456
03:15:40,400 --> 03:15:44,060
Wait, I can't. I can't.

2457
03:15:44,120 --> 03:15:46,320
Somebody has Mike's going.

2458
03:15:50,600 --> 03:15:54,140
Okay. So it's a motion to defer to the first of March, correct?

2459
03:15:55,200 --> 03:16:00,880
Yes, man. And I had a second for that. Could I have a roll,

2460
03:16:13,180 --> 03:16:24,000
Thank you for your consideration and thank you for letting us defer it.

2461
03:16:24,000 --> 03:16:37,320
Yeah, no, I, again, it was my dad took me a while to get it typed in, okay, and I usually

2462
03:16:37,320 --> 03:16:43,280
jump between computers and I have to change it up here, okay, communications, Commissioner

2463
03:16:43,280 --> 03:16:43,960
Havayana.

2464
03:16:45,520 --> 03:16:49,100
Yes, I'll be really brief, I just want to let everyone watching know that the White House

2465
03:16:49,100 --> 03:16:54,440
now just a full health insurance open enrollment period to provide folks for to sign up for

2466
03:16:54,440 --> 03:17:00,320
health insurance. So it's open as of February 15th until May 15th. All you have to do is go to

2467
03:17:00,320 --> 03:17:07,280
healthcare.gov. I also want to thank ACM Sandoval. She was a great in-term student manager this weekend.

2468
03:17:07,680 --> 03:17:14,060
She got back to me really quickly. On flying flags that have to have staff this Sunday and remember

2469
03:17:14,060 --> 03:17:20,660
of the victims of MSC. We had a really great student planting that last Saturday, the volunteers

2470
03:17:20,660 --> 03:17:26,220
of Powell really showed out. They removed invasives, cleaned a beach, and learned how to plant

2471
03:17:26,220 --> 03:17:31,320
dunes and fertilize. So that was really great, and I'm really excited about us doing more

2472
03:17:31,320 --> 03:17:38,200
doing work and coordination with each movement. We talked about earlier. The last thing is,

2473
03:17:38,500 --> 03:17:42,740
so I'm really looking forward to hearing when the grant mortgage utility relief will be sent into

2474
03:17:43,560 --> 03:17:49,060
I think it might be coming soon and how if it'll go to the county and how they'll allocate

2475
03:17:49,060 --> 03:17:54,740
it what type of distribution will be going on because I really wasn't impressed with the distribution

2476
03:17:54,740 --> 03:17:59,340
of the financial utility and mortgage relief we had that was due back in December.

2477
03:18:00,040 --> 03:18:06,260
It was a really hard to access process, a lot of residents were contacted with, you know,

2478
03:18:06,460 --> 03:18:08,180
I went, you couldn't submit it online.

2479
03:18:08,380 --> 03:18:11,940
I had to go in person to this office and when I got to the office they said they were closed

2480
03:18:11,940 --> 03:18:17,220
until the week of it being due because there was a COVID outbreak, so it really was not accessible,

2481
03:18:17,540 --> 03:18:21,740
so I definitely would like to see improvements in that for the next time. And the last thing

2482
03:18:21,740 --> 03:18:26,940
is the White House also announced they were extending the foreclosure moratorium for homeowners

2483
03:18:26,940 --> 03:18:33,160
through June 30th this year. Also the mortgage payment for parents enrollment window until June 30th

2484
03:18:33,160 --> 03:18:37,600
for borrowers and also providing up to six months of additional mortgage payment for

2485
03:18:37,600 --> 03:18:41,740
for folks who had entered into it prior to June 30th of last year.

2486
03:18:43,040 --> 03:18:47,800
So housing crisis is going to be really scary unless, you know, we really get some aids of folks.

2487
03:18:47,960 --> 03:18:55,460
Now I saw the city of Miami is providing up to a year of backbriented utilities and mortgage payments for some of the residents.

2488
03:18:56,120 --> 03:18:59,600
I think it's definitely needed. So that's it for me tonight. Thank you.

2489
03:19:00,440 --> 03:19:01,440
Thank you. Commissioner.

2490
03:19:01,440 --> 03:19:02,640
How are you, Anna?

2491
03:19:03,440 --> 03:19:04,580
Commissioner Lassaro.

2492
03:19:06,160 --> 03:19:07,280
I'd like to make an appointment

2493
03:19:07,280 --> 03:19:10,280
to the sustainability and flood mitigation

2494
03:19:10,280 --> 03:19:11,560
of Bruce Brottman.

2495
03:19:12,040 --> 03:19:15,240
He did turn in his application.

2496
03:19:15,880 --> 03:19:17,460
Sam's his driver's license,

2497
03:19:17,860 --> 03:19:18,640
which he, I believe,

2498
03:19:18,780 --> 03:19:20,320
City Clerk, if I'm not mistaken,

2499
03:19:20,760 --> 03:19:22,500
he will send it a later date.

2500
03:19:23,780 --> 03:19:23,800
Yes.

2501
03:19:24,220 --> 03:19:25,780
So I'm going to make that appointment

2502
03:19:25,780 --> 03:19:27,780
unless there's some opposition.

2503
03:19:30,360 --> 03:19:30,900
Great.

2504
03:19:31,620 --> 03:19:35,900
City Attorney, City Clerk, please send him the information, I had to appreciate it.

2505
03:19:36,740 --> 03:19:40,980
City Manager, I know you mentioned that you didn't know about this, but I'm going to make a mention of it,

2506
03:19:41,160 --> 03:19:48,800
because I know John Demarko sent a new mail that I also got another, from another resident who lives on Atlantic shores,

2507
03:19:48,940 --> 03:19:52,840
regarding an odor that is coming off of the intercostal.

2508
03:19:53,040 --> 03:20:00,000
I know you said you didn't know about it, but I believe that one of the DPW workers had some kind of vehicle.

2509
03:20:00,000 --> 03:20:07,500
Or respondents, or employees, excuse me. Charles had some kind of a correspondence with a resident.

2510
03:20:07,920 --> 03:20:12,440
So I think you should have been made aware of it. Maybe Mr. Odoms knew about it.

2511
03:20:13,540 --> 03:20:21,180
But this should have been addressed by the city manager. If this is a office, if you guys were already contacted about it.

2512
03:20:21,260 --> 03:20:24,660
So I'm disappointed to hear that. But I just wanted to let you know that.

2513
03:20:24,660 --> 03:20:28,200
Mr. Nazarene, for a sec, if you don't want to?

2514
03:20:28,220 --> 03:20:29,280
Yes, sir.

2515
03:20:30,500 --> 03:20:34,780
No, I'm sorry, I'm waiting to help me sit in my room.

2516
03:20:34,840 --> 03:20:38,200
So it's time to say, so there were some other...

2517
03:20:40,020 --> 03:20:43,740
There were some other smells that some of the residents had around the marina.

2518
03:20:43,980 --> 03:20:48,480
We've checked, I checked with our interim director of public works.

2519
03:20:49,260 --> 03:20:53,120
Today, Mr. Owens is actually here with the report that hopefully will help.

2520
03:20:53,120 --> 03:20:55,240
We've actually kept being tested in the waters.

2521
03:20:55,940 --> 03:20:59,020
We've not found any issues in the water that we tested.

2522
03:20:59,860 --> 03:21:04,300
So I'm going to ask the city clerk, if you would promote

2523
03:21:05,540 --> 03:21:08,120
Mr. Odin's, so he can relate to the commission

2524
03:21:08,800 --> 03:21:11,420
what he has related to being regard in this particular issue.

2525
03:21:11,500 --> 03:21:12,320
Thank you.

2526
03:21:12,500 --> 03:21:13,880
Why he's coming up?

2527
03:21:14,000 --> 03:21:16,900
I want to share a complaint that I just received.

2528
03:21:17,740 --> 03:21:20,560
And I don't know if it's tied to this.

2529
03:21:20,560 --> 03:21:28,080
The resident called on Atlantic shores right around that same area, apparently there is a pump.

2530
03:21:28,180 --> 03:21:34,700
Some kind of defect of pump on a Hollywood side that's been making noise and creating

2531
03:21:34,700 --> 03:21:35,380
an issue.

2532
03:21:36,140 --> 03:21:42,340
So, I just wanted to add that to the discussion because I was copied on the same email and

2533
03:21:42,340 --> 03:21:51,720
And the other question was also in regards to diplomat, golf course who has been doing construction,

2534
03:21:51,860 --> 03:21:56,000
but I don't know if it's due to the stagnated water over there because I know we've

2535
03:21:56,000 --> 03:21:59,700
been trying to locate something, so I just wanted to add that.

2536
03:22:01,290 --> 03:22:01,990
Thank you.

2537
03:22:02,470 --> 03:22:03,550
Thank you, Cityman.

2538
03:22:04,150 --> 03:22:10,270
And I believe that we've contacted our colleagues in Hollywood regarding that, so we're

2539
03:22:10,270 --> 03:22:16,050
hope in that they're working on that particular issue. Mr. Otones, could you update commissioner

2540
03:22:16,050 --> 03:22:20,770
last row of the mayor and the other commissioners with some of what you all have done to

2541
03:22:21,830 --> 03:22:27,410
date, and you're going to find this smell that our residents are reporting?

2542
03:22:28,830 --> 03:22:34,250
Absolutely. City manager, good evening. I'm not a mayor and city commission. In reference to

2543
03:22:34,250 --> 03:22:39,330
the issue at hand, there's a couple of things that we have begun to or should say continue

2544
03:22:39,330 --> 03:22:42,510
to look into to investigate these circumstances.

2545
03:22:43,450 --> 03:22:48,910
The first thing is we did some sampling in the area of the waterway to evaluate if we

2546
03:22:48,910 --> 03:22:53,470
had any impacts or an invasion of Rossowich in any coastline in the area.

2547
03:22:54,270 --> 03:22:56,050
This sample actually came back today.

2548
03:22:56,910 --> 03:23:02,910
Of the five samples three of them show no indication whatsoever to the samples had low levels

2549
03:23:02,910 --> 03:23:08,290
of what would be considered interior contact by samples which is the bacteria that she was

2550
03:23:08,290 --> 03:23:18,390
for any intercostal relative to any kind of human waste or sanitary. However, the number is insignificant

2551
03:23:18,390 --> 03:23:24,630
is the wrong choice of word. It's too low to be representative of an ongoing force main type

2552
03:23:24,630 --> 03:23:31,810
issue. This is something, and additionally, this is not appearing or showing itself to be a

2553
03:23:31,810 --> 03:23:36,890
continual issue. It's showing itself to be more of an intermittent issue. This is why we don't get

2554
03:23:36,890 --> 03:23:43,830
complaint on a continual basis, but rather periodically in nature, this complaint comes in.

2555
03:23:44,150 --> 03:23:50,370
Right now, I'm moving to investigate further into the city to evaluate if someone potentially

2556
03:23:50,370 --> 03:23:56,770
is illegally dumping something into the storm system on a periodic basis that would line up

2557
03:23:56,770 --> 03:24:02,870
time-wise with what we're finding with the complaint. So that's where we are right now as far as

2558
03:24:02,870 --> 03:24:07,890
investigating. Of course, once we find this, if this is the case, we will take a

2559
03:24:07,890 --> 03:24:12,470
appropriate action as far as environmental compliance finds and, and, and

2560
03:24:12,470 --> 03:24:13,590
litigation is necessary.

2561
03:24:15,170 --> 03:24:15,750
Thank you.

2562
03:24:15,770 --> 03:24:23,090
We also had this similar, I guess, similar complaint regarding the marina. We also checked

2563
03:24:23,090 --> 03:24:29,450
there as well. We could not find any sewer leaks, folks were complain of a smell. We could

2564
03:24:29,450 --> 03:24:31,490
not find anything at the marine either.

2565
03:24:32,590 --> 03:24:35,010
But I just wanted the commission to know that staff was working

2566
03:24:35,010 --> 03:24:38,270
on this issue that our residents know that we are testing

2567
03:24:38,270 --> 03:24:39,690
the waters that we are doing.

2568
03:24:40,250 --> 03:24:43,150
Everything we can to find this, and as you are from

2569
03:24:43,150 --> 03:24:46,070
our director, Odams, and so we're going to continue doing so.

2570
03:24:47,290 --> 03:24:52,750
Mr. Odams, if I may, through city manager, could this be a

2571
03:24:52,750 --> 03:24:54,930
lateral issue with one of the homes?

2572
03:24:55,830 --> 03:24:58,190
Because when they're starting the pop up too, we just

2573
03:24:58,190 --> 03:24:59,950
and that mess and I wanted to start.

2574
03:25:00,000 --> 03:25:04,860
We're going to thank you later and discuss it, but with the latter roles in the Northeast.

2575
03:25:06,080 --> 03:25:13,020
It is possible, ma'am, but unlikely at this time, again, because of the intermitted nature of the complaint.

2576
03:25:13,300 --> 03:25:20,200
It's not something that we are seeing like every day, someone is complaining, you know, one day after the next ongoing.

2577
03:25:20,480 --> 03:25:26,660
It seems to come and then dissipate, come and then dissipate, and a lateral issue would be more of a continued.

2578
03:25:26,660 --> 03:25:32,340
So, I'm not going to say it's absolutely out of the realm of possibility, it's just not

2579
03:25:32,340 --> 03:25:33,980
high on the possibility line right?

2580
03:25:34,480 --> 03:25:34,920
Right, yeah.

2581
03:25:35,120 --> 03:25:39,900
I'm just thinking with the title levels and how close they are to intercostal that it might

2582
03:25:40,820 --> 03:25:42,160
be subject to that.

2583
03:25:42,340 --> 03:25:43,460
But we'll keep looking for it.

2584
03:25:43,460 --> 03:25:48,320
I haven't gone out there to see it if it was smell like last email was like does this happen

2585
03:25:48,320 --> 03:25:49,560
all the time?

2586
03:25:49,640 --> 03:25:50,020
Daily.

2587
03:25:51,160 --> 03:25:54,640
So, I'm sure with your expertise we'll figure that one way or another.

2588
03:25:55,140 --> 03:25:55,660
Thank you.

2589
03:25:55,660 --> 03:25:57,080
Thank you, City Manager.

2590
03:25:58,180 --> 03:25:58,820
Commissioner Lazar.

2591
03:25:59,300 --> 03:26:00,440
Anything else?

2592
03:26:01,080 --> 03:26:02,200
Thank you, Commissioner.

2593
03:26:02,880 --> 03:26:04,120
Commissioner Tom.

2594
03:26:05,420 --> 03:26:06,660
Thank you.

2595
03:26:10,950 --> 03:26:13,870
The 3D Mayor City Madam City Clerk.

2596
03:26:14,210 --> 03:26:19,170
Do you have an application from Miss Irwin Lorenz for the

2597
03:26:19,170 --> 03:26:19,890
Re Islands?

2598
03:26:20,950 --> 03:26:21,130
Yep.

2599
03:26:21,610 --> 03:26:22,130
You do?

2600
03:26:22,950 --> 03:26:23,570
I do, Madam.

2601
03:26:23,750 --> 03:26:25,750
But that is going to be discussed under the

2602
03:26:30,700 --> 03:26:33,500
So I

2603
03:26:35,520 --> 03:26:47,940
think we all received an email recently from a resident in Northwest Handel saying

2604
03:26:47,940 --> 03:26:54,240
that, you know, his young daughter hides under the Fed

2605
03:26:54,240 --> 03:26:58,440
and is very scared when she hears gunshots.

2606
03:26:59,280 --> 03:27:04,620
So he has reached out, again, asking for help.

2607
03:27:06,880 --> 03:27:09,280
A fear for, you know, his safety

2608
03:27:09,280 --> 03:27:12,560
and the neighbor's safety doesn't want to come

2609
03:27:12,560 --> 03:27:16,820
to commission meetings, but he does feel

2610
03:27:16,820 --> 03:27:21,800
like we are failing him and his family and failing the

2611
03:27:21,800 --> 03:27:24,640
Northwest section of the city.

2612
03:27:25,660 --> 03:27:28,920
You know, I've brought up statistics last year

2613
03:27:28,920 --> 03:27:32,040
of violent crimes in the city and I was told

2614
03:27:32,040 --> 03:27:34,180
you know, but other commissioners that I'm being

2615
03:27:34,180 --> 03:27:36,780
hysterical and fear-mongering.

2616
03:27:37,800 --> 03:27:40,780
But there are residents, this shouldn't be political.

2617
03:27:41,060 --> 03:27:44,020
There are residents that are living in fear and are

2618
03:27:44,020 --> 03:27:51,220
grade, you know, the violent crimes keep growing in.

2619
03:27:52,040 --> 03:27:58,020
It's a matter of fact, I have a ring up on my phone.

2620
03:27:58,840 --> 03:28:03,280
And sometimes the crime that are happening in the city,

2621
03:28:03,460 --> 03:28:09,020
I get the alerts first via the ring out before I even hear about it from,

2622
03:28:09,580 --> 03:28:11,700
you know, PD or the city manager's office.

2623
03:28:11,700 --> 03:28:16,900
I get these updates as the crimes are happening.

2624
03:28:17,940 --> 03:28:23,200
But other residents are asking if they've heard gunshots or there was just stabbing

2625
03:28:24,300 --> 03:28:28,480
or why is the helicopter up and so forth.

2626
03:28:30,220 --> 03:28:38,660
So again, I'm going in for the City Manager's office to put a plan together.

2627
03:28:38,660 --> 03:28:51,520
But really hold, you know, the police departments command staff, you know, and whoever's at the home.

2628
03:28:56,500 --> 03:29:06,920
Not hold them responsible, but put together a plan, because we can't keep going week after week, month after month.

2629
03:29:06,920 --> 03:29:09,480
the shootings are still taking place,

2630
03:29:09,620 --> 03:29:11,260
that beings are still taking place.

2631
03:29:12,200 --> 03:29:14,680
You know, I know there was a resident in a last meeting

2632
03:29:14,680 --> 03:29:17,800
that suggested maybe one-in, one way-in,

2633
03:29:17,960 --> 03:29:19,520
one way out, the Northwest section,

2634
03:29:19,680 --> 03:29:20,980
I don't even know if that's feasible.

2635
03:29:22,380 --> 03:29:25,220
I don't know if that would create more trouble,

2636
03:29:25,860 --> 03:29:27,340
but, you know, I would request,

2637
03:29:27,640 --> 03:29:29,880
and I know you have so much going on,

2638
03:29:29,880 --> 03:29:32,420
CM and so much to undertake,

2639
03:29:33,500 --> 03:29:36,640
but we have an entire community that deserves

2640
03:29:36,640 --> 03:29:43,800
to live in peace and to serve, to live in a dignified manner, and the truth of the

2641
03:29:43,800 --> 03:29:48,360
matter is that our system missioners, we live a very privileged life, especially for

2642
03:29:48,360 --> 03:29:54,140
the three out of five of us that have, you know, we have a police officer in our island

2643
03:29:54,140 --> 03:29:58,720
from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. so it doesn't directly affect us.

2644
03:30:02,380 --> 03:30:22,160
But it's unacceptable, and this is, you know, it just, we need to, you know, figure out a plan, not only to attenuate, but also to a speech, the violent crime spree, particularly in the north-west side.

2645
03:30:22,160 --> 03:30:35,660
So, I don't know if that is in a form of a meeting city manager or you have to sit there and be tough and make some tough calls and some tough decisions and hold people accountable.

2646
03:30:37,440 --> 03:30:46,420
But I think the time to be proactive with last year and here you are now, it's a new CM.

2647
03:30:46,420 --> 03:30:55,640
So I am, I am requesting and pleading of you to hear the pleas and cries of people that

2648
03:30:55,640 --> 03:30:57,520
live in Northwest Palindale.

2649
03:30:59,560 --> 03:31:08,640
You know, I can tell you that when I walked Northwest last year, as we were walking, I heard

2650
03:31:08,640 --> 03:31:12,540
the gunshots and the one of the young gentlemen that was there with me that lives in

2651
03:31:12,540 --> 03:31:19,060
question. He's like, yep, Annabelle, this is the norm and proceeded to explain how it's like

2652
03:31:19,060 --> 03:31:24,780
the territory thing. It was in the afternoon, so it was a bunch of kinds of like, you know,

2653
03:31:24,960 --> 03:31:30,700
territory like these two blocks belong to us, those two blocks belong to the other party.

2654
03:31:31,000 --> 03:31:38,860
I find use condoms is disgusting. I'm glad people are using condoms, but to see them, but to see them

2655
03:31:38,860 --> 03:31:39,860
on this story.

2656
03:31:39,940 --> 03:31:40,640
It's okay.

2657
03:31:41,240 --> 03:31:47,700
To see them on this street is, you know, disgusting, and the majority of us don't have to

2658
03:31:47,700 --> 03:31:48,700
live that way.

2659
03:31:49,460 --> 03:31:53,780
And, you know, we can have our kids, so there's a person have kids, and have kids go play

2660
03:31:53,780 --> 03:31:57,960
out, play outside, and not have to worry about seeing, you know, use condoms on the street.

2661
03:31:58,400 --> 03:32:02,300
People writing their ATVs, like crazy, not adhering to the laws.

2662
03:32:02,520 --> 03:32:07,240
It's like, it's like, walllessness, no law in order in Northwest.

2663
03:32:10,120 --> 03:32:11,040
You know,

2664
03:32:13,140 --> 03:32:26,720
people deserve better, so you know, I am like I told you, I'll give you, I'll give you time, but a year from now if we're still having the same discussion, you know, I'm going to be very frustrated.

2665
03:32:26,720 --> 03:32:29,700
Right, right, I completely understand

2666
03:32:29,700 --> 03:32:32,680
commissioning what I'm, if I may just real quick

2667
03:32:32,680 --> 03:32:34,630
or I don't want to interrupt you.

2668
03:32:36,300 --> 03:32:39,320
So just so that you know and the residents know,

2669
03:32:40,200 --> 03:32:43,780
there are increased patrols.

2670
03:32:43,880 --> 03:32:46,100
So the officers have been doing a great job

2671
03:32:46,100 --> 03:32:46,940
in terms of visibility.

2672
03:32:47,460 --> 03:32:50,780
I have asked Chief Canione and she can speak to that.

2673
03:32:50,960 --> 03:32:54,740
Deputy Chief, Michael, Michael last week

2674
03:32:54,740 --> 03:33:02,960
that I want a very, as a residents of also requested, by the way, a heavier police presence

2675
03:33:02,960 --> 03:33:09,460
at the intersections throughout the neighborhoods, and so just to let you know, that is really

2676
03:33:09,460 --> 03:33:12,780
where a lot of our over time is going, right?

2677
03:33:13,040 --> 03:33:17,860
So just to let you know that we are putting the resources to do in this, and we're going to continue

2678
03:33:17,860 --> 03:33:18,560
to do this.

2679
03:33:18,700 --> 03:33:24,460
I really want to work with the parking safety boards as well, so that we have resident, so that

2680
03:33:24,460 --> 03:33:29,500
We have the resident to purchase a patient and buy into the things that need to happen.

2681
03:33:29,600 --> 03:33:35,740
So for example, when you tell me that you're seeing use condoms on the street, that's

2682
03:33:35,740 --> 03:33:41,120
less of a police issue to me and more of an issue of partnerships that we need to make

2683
03:33:41,120 --> 03:33:43,080
in the community as well.

2684
03:33:43,940 --> 03:33:48,980
And so we are committed to doing that and we're committed to providing the resources

2685
03:33:48,980 --> 03:33:51,360
to the officers that they can do their jobs.

2686
03:33:51,360 --> 03:33:55,220
But, yes, we take this very seriously commissioning the top.

2687
03:33:55,700 --> 03:34:00,720
I hear you, and I've heard the residents there reached out to me as well.

2688
03:34:01,540 --> 03:34:05,400
And, you know, it's going to be a balance in act because,

2689
03:34:05,400 --> 03:34:10,520
you know, when you're sometimes when you're too heavy-handed, folks believe that you are,

2690
03:34:11,160 --> 03:34:13,340
you know, you're purposefully singing them out.

2691
03:34:13,380 --> 03:34:16,020
However, there are challenges that we need to meet.

2692
03:34:16,680 --> 03:34:18,840
And that's why I have directed,

2693
03:34:19,920 --> 03:34:43,300
directed our chief and staff to do the very best that they can to not only enforce the law but to be very, very, very, very visible and now on the back end we are working on the tools that they need that we didn't even anticipate last year.

2694
03:34:43,300 --> 03:34:48,280
So, you know, they will get to tools that will tell us exactly where gunshots are being fired

2695
03:34:48,280 --> 03:34:51,960
and we'll get to trace that so we can respond to those kinds of things.

2696
03:34:53,340 --> 03:34:57,680
I wish I had all the answers but I appreciate your patience and just know that yes,

2697
03:34:57,820 --> 03:34:59,480
we are going to be addressing these things.

2698
03:35:00,000 --> 03:35:10,980
And we've already started to address these things, but I hear you. And I commit that we will continue to do what we can to address the issues that we haven't enough.

2699
03:35:11,880 --> 03:35:19,360
Thank you. If I might just follow up on the big condoms comment, there's a prostitution.

2700
03:35:20,320 --> 03:35:49,340
There's a prostitution, where there's prostitution, there's also drugs, thousands, so police, so it is a police matter, I'm not talking about the health issues, but it is a police matter when there's open prostitution and open drug dealing going on and so the two kind of, you know, synonymous with each other, so okay, so I'll leave that at your house.

2701
03:35:49,360 --> 03:36:03,000
You know, hands right now and hopefully in a few months from now or, you know, next year we're not having the same discussion, but rather about, you know, how we've managed three or

2702
03:36:03,000 --> 03:36:09,720
direction to attenuate and to switch the violent crime rates in Calendale.

2703
03:36:12,200 --> 03:36:14,620
If I made it for you, there won't be just a second.

2704
03:36:16,160 --> 03:36:23,020
Just for, you know, this has been on all of our minds and it was interesting between

2705
03:36:23,020 --> 03:36:31,320
the count, whole last night and people making sure particularly in past under-saved areas,

2706
03:36:31,320 --> 03:36:35,600
The residents that live there want protection and they want to make sure we're there.

2707
03:36:35,940 --> 03:36:39,420
So I think we have partners and we need to build in that partnership.

2708
03:36:40,120 --> 03:36:46,640
If I may suggest, then I'd even volunteer to go out with an officer to really start maybe going

2709
03:36:46,640 --> 03:36:50,100
door to door and putting a flyer, introducing themselves.

2710
03:36:50,480 --> 03:36:54,720
We can't have a large gathering right now and do those types of things because of COVID.

2711
03:36:55,200 --> 03:37:00,540
But there's no reason why we can't reassure the people in the neighborhoods that were there.

2712
03:37:00,540 --> 03:37:02,680
we're here to serve, these are the numbers,

2713
03:37:03,060 --> 03:37:05,100
and get some information out there,

2714
03:37:05,380 --> 03:37:08,140
especially in the particular areas where we know

2715
03:37:08,140 --> 03:37:09,360
there's probably crime.

2716
03:37:09,920 --> 03:37:13,700
Because I know we can't have a police officer on every block.

2717
03:37:14,180 --> 03:37:15,660
And I think in one of the cases,

2718
03:37:16,260 --> 03:37:19,000
the police officers were downing it through another call

2719
03:37:19,000 --> 03:37:21,380
when there was an actual, you know,

2720
03:37:21,400 --> 03:37:22,400
so they're there.

2721
03:37:22,880 --> 03:37:26,420
But maybe it's really gathering that partnership.

2722
03:37:26,760 --> 03:37:28,420
It's hard to do it on Zoom.

2723
03:37:28,420 --> 03:37:36,380
This heart, you know, we used to have a lot of meetings. We'd have the pastors alliance. We would have town halls and the black parties

2724
03:37:37,080 --> 03:37:43,900
So baby that is like a good old fashioned way to let people know we are there and we're watching

2725
03:37:44,800 --> 03:37:48,740
Just food for thought and I'm not joking. I need the exercise

2726
03:37:48,740 --> 03:37:54,400
I went mind walking again and going out again walking with some of our finest here in Hell and Dale Beach

2727
03:37:54,400 --> 03:37:56,160
So thank you

2728
03:37:56,160 --> 03:37:58,140
Go ahead, Commissioner Tom, I'm sorry.

2729
03:37:58,540 --> 03:37:59,280
No, no, that's okay.

2730
03:37:59,560 --> 03:38:02,200
You know, and just as a last note to that, you know,

2731
03:38:02,440 --> 03:38:05,080
our patrol officers are incredible.

2732
03:38:05,500 --> 03:38:08,260
And they really want to be, you know,

2733
03:38:09,440 --> 03:38:11,960
I just think that there's so many challenges.

2734
03:38:13,220 --> 03:38:17,060
So, you know, just a shout-out to our patrol officers

2735
03:38:17,060 --> 03:38:19,060
and, you know, our police department.

2736
03:38:19,900 --> 03:38:21,400
It's not a slide at them.

2737
03:38:21,540 --> 03:38:23,340
It's just, you know, we have issues.

2738
03:38:23,340 --> 03:38:40,220
So, and we can do better job, but okay, moving on to the next item is, you know, my family and I are very conscientious about circulating our dollars in how into LVH.

2739
03:38:40,760 --> 03:38:48,580
So, other than just, you know, going into the pharmacy and public, we really try to support the small business owners.

2740
03:38:50,760 --> 03:39:04,580
And, you know, also for myself, recognize business owners, or community personnel, so to speak that.

2741
03:39:06,400 --> 03:39:12,220
Do a great job and are very kind to our residents.

2742
03:39:12,220 --> 03:39:16,660
those in example, we had Dr. Ferman today.

2743
03:39:18,120 --> 03:39:22,340
But there is a dentist and his wife that

2744
03:39:22,340 --> 03:39:26,820
has a small practice in Hollywood, and I just

2745
03:39:26,820 --> 03:39:31,060
recently learned that they have provided free dental care

2746
03:39:31,060 --> 03:39:36,720
to some of our residents in lower income areas.

2747
03:39:36,720 --> 03:39:51,860
And, you know, they have not charged for major dental procedures, that one's not twice, but, you know, a good amount of time.

2748
03:39:51,860 --> 03:39:59,940
So I would like to give them a recognition and have...

2749
03:40:00,000 --> 03:40:10,580
The commission, in myself, sponsor, Asia to forget of appreciation for them. They are a small dental practice.

2750
03:40:11,780 --> 03:40:28,400
And so hopefully it could give them the recognition that they deserve, but it's also a thank you for us as a commission for their benevolence and kindness that they show on our residents they need.

2751
03:40:28,400 --> 03:40:38,480
So I would like to sponsor a certificate of appreciation may or if you'd like to sponsor that with me, the other commissioners wanted to post sponsor it with me.

2752
03:40:39,260 --> 03:40:53,400
I don't care who sponsor is. As long as we recognize them, the dentist name is Dr. Ilya Freiburg, and they're located in Hollywood around young circle.

2753
03:40:53,400 --> 03:41:01,180
So I don't know if we do that enough form of emotion or I think so. Is that the policy?

2754
03:41:02,560 --> 03:41:10,400
Yeah, form of emotion. I make emotion and open to co-sponsors.

2755
03:41:11,500 --> 03:41:15,960
So it would be from this city. It's a proof that we would all support it.

2756
03:41:15,960 --> 03:41:45,700
I know that it's a lot on the agenda usually is sponsored by so it's I could be sponsored by all of us myself, whoever would like to join in, make a motion to sponsor a certificate of appreciation to Dr.

2757
03:41:45,700 --> 03:41:53,040
lower income resident, particularly, particularly during COVID times. Yeah, that's that all second it.

2758
03:41:54,980 --> 03:41:57,160
Um, could I have a roll call, please?

2759
03:42:00,530 --> 03:42:01,950
Yeah, Mayor Butler. Yes.

2760
03:42:02,950 --> 03:42:05,150
I'm sure I'm having Anna. Yes.

2761
03:42:08,210 --> 03:42:08,450
Yes.

2762
03:42:09,970 --> 03:42:11,070
Commissioner Lazarum.

2763
03:42:14,750 --> 03:42:14,750
Yes.

2764
03:42:16,390 --> 03:42:22,590
Yes. Yeah. Can you help me? Can you help me?

2765
03:42:24,860 --> 03:42:25,040
Yes.

2766
03:42:25,720 --> 03:42:26,280
Yes.

2767
03:42:28,520 --> 03:42:30,020
But I'm here for her.

2768
03:42:31,320 --> 03:42:31,840
What do you mean?

2769
03:42:32,060 --> 03:42:32,300
I'm here for her.

2770
03:42:34,720 --> 03:42:35,840
Thank you.

2771
03:42:36,040 --> 03:42:36,680
And if that's it.

2772
03:42:38,160 --> 03:42:42,300
I'm sure I don't know if you, I'm with Ms. Arlene Lorenz.

2773
03:42:42,920 --> 03:42:45,820
I know she's both of, you know, my neighbor, your neighbor.

2774
03:42:47,180 --> 03:42:52,220
So, I don't know if you wanted to point her in fact that you had perhaps forgotten.

2775
03:42:52,220 --> 03:42:58,260
Um, so if for the three I'm meeting if you'd like to, you know, make sure you please comment.

2776
03:42:58,400 --> 03:43:01,340
I don't care who appoints her on the she's pointed.

2777
03:43:02,140 --> 03:43:03,280
Um, so that's it for me.

2778
03:43:04,360 --> 03:43:08,560
Um, thank you to staff for a great, you know, job as per usual.

2779
03:43:09,360 --> 03:43:09,680
Thank you.

2780
03:43:10,040 --> 03:43:12,420
Thank you to Commissioner by Mayor Butler.

2781
03:43:12,880 --> 03:43:13,740
Thank you, Mayor.

2782
03:43:13,940 --> 03:43:18,440
I'm going to withhold my comments for our next meeting just in the interest of time.

2783
03:43:18,440 --> 03:43:22,080
So I will hold those off for our March meeting.

2784
03:43:22,200 --> 03:43:22,800
Thank you, Matt.

2785
03:43:23,200 --> 03:43:23,420
Right.

2786
03:43:24,000 --> 03:43:26,840
And I have a few, not as much a last time.

2787
03:43:27,860 --> 03:43:30,020
I will first start off.

2788
03:43:30,020 --> 03:43:31,040
I have a question.

2789
03:43:31,760 --> 03:43:35,260
And I know, at the time she was by Sarah Havianna,

2790
03:43:35,460 --> 03:43:36,600
I had brought up the young lady

2791
03:43:36,600 --> 03:43:40,280
that had actually wanted to really get involved

2792
03:43:40,280 --> 03:43:41,980
in different organizations.

2793
03:43:42,580 --> 03:43:44,460
Our beach preservation board.

2794
03:43:44,600 --> 03:43:46,900
Is that just limited to the beach?

2795
03:43:48,790 --> 03:43:51,410
I don't know. Can somebody answer that question?

2796
03:43:52,190 --> 03:43:54,730
We have a sustainability board as well.

2797
03:43:55,050 --> 03:43:57,790
Okay, but I don't know. Is there openings on that board?

2798
03:44:00,070 --> 03:44:03,090
There are openings on the sustainability board, yes.

2799
03:44:03,730 --> 03:44:04,630
Madam Mayor for me.

2800
03:44:05,090 --> 03:44:05,630
Yes, go ahead.

2801
03:44:06,030 --> 03:44:06,130
Yes.

2802
03:44:07,110 --> 03:44:08,430
Thank you.

2803
03:44:08,430 --> 03:44:10,390
There's just been trying to get through the front.

2804
03:44:10,970 --> 03:44:13,690
There are three vacancies for the beach preservation.

2805
03:44:13,990 --> 03:44:18,730
And for the sustainability, there's one, two, three, four.

2806
03:44:19,790 --> 03:44:25,910
The beach though, and I'm just asking about the beach because of her expertise if you recall

2807
03:44:25,910 --> 03:44:31,610
She and that's like the first word that she listed. I guess unless they're in alphabetical order

2808
03:44:31,610 --> 03:44:39,730
I guess, but she seems like she would lend herself to that bullet really well, and that's just limited to a one-a

2809
03:44:39,730 --> 03:44:41,310
correct or no

2810
03:44:41,310 --> 03:44:44,610
No, Mayor, it's I'm I'm sorry

2811
03:44:44,610 --> 03:44:46,210
you're going to respond?

2812
03:44:46,930 --> 03:44:48,610
Sure, if you want to come in.

2813
03:44:50,770 --> 03:44:53,910
So I remember correcting the, you know,

2814
03:44:54,010 --> 03:44:54,710
fed it up.

2815
03:44:55,170 --> 03:44:59,350
It was, um, given, giving preference to anyone that lives on the water.

2816
03:44:59,530 --> 03:44:59,990
It has a thick,

2817
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:25,960
A week of actually living on the water, but it's not just an A1A, so any one moving on the water for at the city could apply and be appointed, but it's certainly, if you have someone that you think would serve well and has expertise, I'd more than open to it, considering that we have a couple of openings.

2818
03:45:25,960 --> 03:45:39,520
All right. Well, there's one application. There's actually a couple applications and two because I'm getting this one mixed up. There's an order to make go that meet would like to serve on the beach preservation board.

2819
03:45:40,060 --> 03:45:43,320
And I'll make that appointment. We have the application.

2820
03:45:44,940 --> 03:45:46,360
There's no objection.

2821
03:45:49,020 --> 03:45:49,540
So

2822
03:45:51,880 --> 03:45:57,360
I really want to try to keep that to people that are that is that one person is ocean dry.

2823
03:45:57,360 --> 03:46:02,740
Okay, but there's another young lady too. So she is right on ocean drive

2824
03:46:02,740 --> 03:46:07,470
So do you make motion? Yeah, I don't you have a second

2825
03:46:10,100 --> 03:46:15,990
Okay, we don't need that because it's my appointment. Oh, yes. Oh, we need to fill some of my appoints

2826
03:46:16,860 --> 03:46:20,160
I'm sorry. I thought we we vote on appointment for

2827
03:46:20,960 --> 03:46:22,760
Only when they're at large

2828
03:46:23,640 --> 03:46:25,560
Okay, perfect. Sorry

2829
03:46:25,560 --> 03:46:32,160
Okay, by May, there's actually one vacancy for the Beach Preservation Board for

2830
03:46:32,160 --> 03:46:36,800
AmeriCorps and there's actually two at large for the Beach Preservation Board.

2831
03:46:37,060 --> 03:46:38,340
Yeah, there was another kind of lady.

2832
03:46:38,500 --> 03:46:42,740
I don't know if Commissioner Havayana remembers her names.

2833
03:46:42,840 --> 03:46:43,960
Where's her location?

2834
03:46:44,580 --> 03:46:45,780
If I may met a mayor?

2835
03:46:46,020 --> 03:46:46,300
Yes.

2836
03:46:46,940 --> 03:46:48,860
There's this young lady, Gabriela.

2837
03:46:49,320 --> 03:46:49,600
Right.

2838
03:46:50,260 --> 03:46:52,180
She's 130 gold in Alstraif.

2839
03:46:52,440 --> 03:46:52,660
Right.

2840
03:46:52,820 --> 03:46:53,800
And she's on the water.

2841
03:46:53,800 --> 03:46:58,500
Can I view I sent lines we'd rather I'd rather that one

2842
03:46:59,280 --> 03:47:02,900
I will move her for the at large

2843
03:47:07,180 --> 03:47:11,160
What who I thought she has her sustainability as the first

2844
03:47:12,460 --> 03:47:13,020
Word

2845
03:47:13,020 --> 03:47:21,560
Okay, why have a couple appointments and I was very impressed with her application and I think I I even I don't know if I've reached out to her

2846
03:47:21,560 --> 03:47:28,480
But if I have an opening on that, I don't have a problem with the cleaning her to that as well, but let's she can be on too. She wants

2847
03:47:28,480 --> 03:47:33,120
Yes, the max is too. I know we have you can see one sitting in the morning.

2848
03:47:33,740 --> 03:47:37,520
There you do have an iphone. Oh, yeah, no, I have it that too.

2849
03:47:39,940 --> 03:47:45,920
Okay, well, I'll call. She wanted to serve. Do you know how do you know her commissioner? How about Anna?

2850
03:47:46,480 --> 03:47:50,760
I talked to her. She wasn't interested in being on one of the boards, but I don't have any open appointments.

2851
03:47:50,760 --> 03:47:58,340
Okay, but you don't know. She went necessarily serve on two. I don't know about that, but I think she's deeply was preference.

2852
03:47:59,180 --> 03:48:04,540
Okay. Well, let me, I'm going to point her to the sustainability tonight. I'll hold off on that at large.

2853
03:48:05,920 --> 03:48:08,080
Or the beach.

2854
03:48:08,880 --> 03:48:11,520
And so I get a chance to call her myself.

2855
03:48:11,520 --> 03:48:17,240
So instead of saying each you'll be appointing her under your appointment for the sustainability correct

2856
03:48:17,240 --> 03:48:25,920
Madam for a guy be in the right right and that's to be continued. Okay, and there's no need for a second. This is your

2857
03:48:25,920 --> 03:48:36,780
Okay, and that's all I have for that right now. Yep. Okay. Good. Thank you. Commissioner Maynland. Okay. Why I had

2858
03:48:36,780 --> 03:48:40,660
Ms. Mike? No, I'll save it. I'll save it. It's all the very

2859
03:48:42,740 --> 03:48:50,840
I need to make a motion, which is even part of my protocol stuff.

2860
03:48:51,340 --> 03:49:04,080
I was approached to do a proclamation at an event for this 29th anniversary, and I'm going

2861
03:49:04,080 --> 03:49:05,380
but you're this name.

2862
03:49:08,450 --> 03:49:12,890
It's the conflict between Armenia and Arjo Bonning.

2863
03:49:13,810 --> 03:49:15,930
It won't come back to the commission,

2864
03:49:16,330 --> 03:49:18,290
but according to our protocol,

2865
03:49:19,070 --> 03:49:21,570
I cannot issue a proclamation

2866
03:49:21,570 --> 03:49:24,390
without a motion and approval of this commission.

2867
03:49:25,310 --> 03:49:29,410
So I'm gonna move to request a proclamation

2868
03:49:29,410 --> 03:49:31,970
to be submitted to this organization.

2869
03:49:32,070 --> 03:49:34,290
I can have a motion of a second.

2870
03:49:34,410 --> 03:49:35,570
Could I have a roll call?

2871
03:49:36,070 --> 03:49:43,130
That's fair butler. Yes. I'm in to have a yellow. Yes. I'm in to a laser.

2872
03:49:45,890 --> 03:49:47,490
I'm in to leave the top. Yeah.

2873
03:49:48,070 --> 03:49:52,350
Merry Cooper. Yes. Thank you madam. I'm going to take care of the guys here. Right.

2874
03:49:52,990 --> 03:49:59,950
I thought a letter that I received actually from the captain of the U.S. Coast Guard commander section in Miami.

2875
03:50:00,760 --> 03:50:11,680
And it, after reading the letter, it was a congratulatory letter for being elected, which was very nice, and an invitation for us to go on a tour at our leisure.

2876
03:50:12,040 --> 03:50:29,220
But the more I read it, my thoughts came to the fact that this organization has both all kind of active duty, reserve, and our sugary members that may be able, I'm going to ask the city manager if you had a chance to think about it.

2877
03:50:29,220 --> 03:50:37,180
get a chance to give you a letter yet because I haven't been in an office to research them to see if they would be available for higher for a marine patrol.

2878
03:50:38,280 --> 03:50:45,360
Rather than using arch-traditional police patrol. Would you need a motion to research that?

2879
03:50:46,760 --> 03:50:52,440
I spoke to Acting Chief Michael last week about this.

2880
03:50:52,440 --> 03:50:58,060
There would be some jurisdictional issues and other issues that would make that very challenging.

2881
03:51:01,140 --> 03:51:06,780
So yes, I actually, when you had mentioned it to me, actually immediately went out to see what that would be.

2882
03:51:07,020 --> 03:51:11,360
There are some challenges because the Coast Guard deals with certain waterways.

2883
03:51:11,700 --> 03:51:13,120
It's certainly our waterways.

2884
03:51:14,000 --> 03:51:16,700
So again, there's some jurisdictional challenges that are there.

2885
03:51:16,700 --> 03:51:28,300
because it actually says they actually respond to security along the way, I believe.

2886
03:51:28,620 --> 03:51:30,180
Well, would it be possible or not possible?

2887
03:51:30,320 --> 03:51:32,020
Because I'm just table it then.

2888
03:51:32,440 --> 03:51:35,680
Is it possible that we could make a request to researches?

2889
03:51:37,080 --> 03:51:40,100
Um, let me, let me continue to look into it.

2890
03:51:40,140 --> 03:51:41,540
Um, and I'll get back with you later.

2891
03:51:41,740 --> 03:51:43,940
As of right now, I would say it is not possible.

2892
03:51:44,440 --> 03:51:44,760
Okay.

2893
03:51:44,760 --> 03:51:51,660
Because let me, let me, let me make some more calls and look into it some more and I'll get back with it.

2894
03:51:51,900 --> 03:51:58,840
Right. And then maybe, or it's something maybe that we could see to research if we have somebody that, if they're

2895
03:51:58,840 --> 03:52:05,000
know that's a retired that has, has done this, they might be able to be trained and hired to do

2896
03:52:05,000 --> 03:52:10,480
the Marine Patrol rather than a quote unquote police patrol officer because I know we're short on them.

2897
03:52:10,480 --> 03:52:15,480
understand what I'm saying so you don't need a motion or anything to do you know I'll just

2898
03:52:16,600 --> 03:52:23,400
okay okay thank you um the other question I have and I'm sure everybody else has been hearing

2899
03:52:23,400 --> 03:52:28,000
and I know Commissioner Butler has on from gold miles and I'm sure you guys are hearing it

2900
03:52:28,000 --> 03:52:34,760
in three islands about a lot of these race cars with loud mufflers and the noises and I'm

2901
03:52:34,760 --> 03:52:38,980
getting them from people and actually that we're apologizing to even complain because they don't

2902
03:52:38,980 --> 03:52:45,100
complain about those things and rarely complain. But they're being especially like on three

2903
03:52:45,100 --> 03:52:50,240
islands full of art now too. And I know I'm hearing them in the neighborhood. And I don't

2904
03:52:50,240 --> 03:52:55,920
know what is the rules and regulations for these lab vehicles. If there are any, and if there

2905
03:52:55,920 --> 03:53:01,560
are some way that we can address it, because there are some of them are deafening, they're

2906
03:53:01,560 --> 03:53:07,840
waking people. If they can't even sit in their backyards, and it's, I'd like some research

2907
03:53:07,840 --> 03:53:10,080
on it or something to see what we can do.

2908
03:53:10,420 --> 03:53:13,140
Let me ask her, Chief Kenyoun, and she's actually on.

2909
03:53:13,960 --> 03:53:18,480
Chief Kenyoun is, have you all addressed as an, and how, how will you address this issue

2910
03:53:18,480 --> 03:53:19,060
with the past?

2911
03:53:25,230 --> 03:53:26,330
Chief Kenyoun is.

2912
03:53:26,870 --> 03:53:27,310
Thank you.

2913
03:53:27,510 --> 03:53:27,650
Thank you, CM.

2914
03:53:27,970 --> 03:53:28,550
CM, I'm here.

2915
03:53:28,810 --> 03:53:29,250
Can you hear me?

2916
03:53:30,910 --> 03:53:31,390
Yes.

2917
03:53:31,710 --> 03:53:32,190
Thank you.

2918
03:53:32,390 --> 03:53:32,430
Yes.

2919
03:53:32,450 --> 03:53:38,310
We've had that concern recently and in the past as well, from residents along 14th

2920
03:53:38,310 --> 03:53:41,890
or throughout the city, where they hear loud mufflers.

2921
03:53:42,650 --> 03:53:46,250
The concern would be is catching them in the act.

2922
03:53:47,630 --> 03:53:50,870
Because by the time we get there, we get the call to respond.

2923
03:53:51,070 --> 03:53:53,050
By the time we get there, the vehicle is gone.

2924
03:53:54,390 --> 03:53:56,390
And then there's been other times that we respond.

2925
03:53:56,590 --> 03:53:57,710
And we hear vehicle.

2926
03:53:58,530 --> 03:54:03,030
But it's just like a heavy engine or some kind of loud roar of an engine.

2927
03:54:03,690 --> 03:54:13,030
So it is a challenge to try to pinpoint to see exactly what's going on, okay, but there is a rule in regulation that you cannot do that.

2928
03:54:13,770 --> 03:54:16,570
And it's just a matter of how much you said catching them in that.

2929
03:54:16,570 --> 03:54:23,110
I was trying to find out exactly, and I would have to look at the statute again as to exactly the noise.

2930
03:54:23,330 --> 03:54:30,650
Ultimately, we do have a noise ordinance to the city that any loud noise that's disturbing the residents, then that could be addressed.

2931
03:54:30,650 --> 03:54:34,570
You know, I've asked this in the past two, especially even with speeding.

2932
03:54:34,770 --> 03:54:36,670
I know that we put the speed trailer sop.

2933
03:54:37,610 --> 03:54:39,970
And I don't know what the LPR is.

2934
03:54:39,990 --> 03:54:45,910
Is there any way maybe as a preventative measure that if a resident heard this car and

2935
03:54:45,910 --> 03:54:48,490
like took a picture of the license plate or a video.

2936
03:54:48,570 --> 03:54:50,330
I mean, everybody has cell phone cameras.

2937
03:54:50,990 --> 03:54:55,350
If they get a license and you have a video submitted to you,

2938
03:54:55,490 --> 03:54:58,690
is there any way to send a letter or track the driver?

2939
03:54:58,690 --> 03:54:59,530
and you know

2940
03:55:00,000 --> 03:55:06,740
Say, you've been witnessed speeding, or your car is in making excessive noise that it needs to be corrected.

2941
03:55:07,380 --> 03:55:10,320
Are any of our agencies doing that, or is that legally possible?

2942
03:55:11,540 --> 03:55:24,080
I know that we have to research that mayor, because right now the license plate readers are to detect any crimes related to the tag, any stolen tag, stolen registrations,

2943
03:55:24,080 --> 03:55:31,540
one person's and of course we know that we have red light cameras in other areas regarding

2944
03:55:31,540 --> 03:55:38,200
the speeding or excuse me the the running the red lights okay interesting just spoof

2945
03:55:38,200 --> 03:55:42,200
report I don't you know I want to respond back to these residents and the frustration that

2946
03:55:42,200 --> 03:55:47,640
they have so it is illegal it's catching them in the act if you could research and like I said

2947
03:55:47,640 --> 03:55:53,660
even for speeding like a courtesy warning you know I know you can't issue necessarily the ticket

2948
03:55:53,660 --> 03:55:57,480
from the LPR, but it'd be interesting if residents can say,

2949
03:55:57,600 --> 03:56:01,460
what was this car, this license plate, and just warn them.

2950
03:56:02,080 --> 03:56:05,440
But Mayor, just to confirm, I will verify the data,

2951
03:56:05,560 --> 03:56:07,700
the information, the specific statute,

2952
03:56:07,920 --> 03:56:10,500
and I'll get back to the manager through the window

2953
03:56:10,500 --> 03:56:13,320
at the noise ordinance, but I will check on the state statute

2954
03:56:13,320 --> 03:56:15,700
regarding the opal's great.

2955
03:56:16,220 --> 03:56:17,980
And you just did the interim.

2956
03:56:18,260 --> 03:56:21,220
I got a call, and I know, because of COVID,

2957
03:56:21,640 --> 03:56:23,020
and this is a good thing.

2958
03:56:23,020 --> 03:56:29,460
There's always good and bad in everything. So many people are walking. So many are people are out there on the street

2959
03:56:31,200 --> 03:56:35,060
Apparently someone was hit at the crime. I don't know the date or at the time

2960
03:56:35,060 --> 03:56:42,160
But somebody was hit from Prince George crossing the street at our beach and people are running that red light

2961
03:56:42,160 --> 03:56:47,200
We do have red light cameras here still because I you know

2962
03:56:47,200 --> 03:56:52,800
I've always been a proponent for them because to me it was more about not just cars

2963
03:56:53,020 --> 03:56:57,320
But pedestrians and bikes and people's awareness is safety and

2964
03:56:58,820 --> 03:57:02,660
This other couple again, they had they were almost

2965
03:57:03,280 --> 03:57:10,800
They're from the same building was almost hit because people are just not going. They're just blown that light down there on the beach

2966
03:57:12,300 --> 03:57:14,280
Yes, I just

2967
03:57:14,280 --> 03:57:18,620
It's interesting you're bringing this up because I had this exact conversation with the city manager

2968
03:57:18,620 --> 03:57:19,820
to go.

2969
03:57:23,640 --> 03:57:26,400
And the question with the City Manager and the City Manager, I think it

2970
03:57:26,400 --> 03:57:33,520
already responded is that, you know, how do we address the issue where we have traffic coming

2971
03:57:33,520 --> 03:57:39,460
through Golden Beach that drives the speed limit, but as soon as they hit the Halendale property

2972
03:57:39,460 --> 03:57:47,120
line, they speed up. And I think that as part of our overall traffic issue, one of it is

2973
03:57:47,120 --> 03:57:55,480
to try to get more of the people who come through Halandale to follow our speed limits and follow

2974
03:57:55,480 --> 03:58:02,340
the things like running red lights. So I agree with you that we do at some point need to ramp up

2975
03:58:02,340 --> 03:58:08,400
enforcement. I recognize that that's going to take some time. But I know that I had brought up

2976
03:58:08,400 --> 03:58:15,420
the exact same thing. I'm asking the city manager to consider it as something that we'd like to

2977
03:58:15,420 --> 03:58:18,220
implement this year at some point.

2978
03:58:18,320 --> 03:58:25,680
So if I'm hearing you right, you've had the same conversation in regards to strategically

2979
03:58:25,680 --> 03:58:28,140
placed red light cameras to prevent safety.

2980
03:58:28,680 --> 03:58:32,940
I came out of a direction instead of red light cameras, it was just the more traffic

2981
03:58:32,940 --> 03:58:36,000
enforcement on our city streets.

2982
03:58:36,400 --> 03:58:36,540
Okay.

2983
03:58:37,220 --> 03:58:42,060
And again, going back, I am a fan of technology and a fan of, you know, because you cannot

2984
03:58:42,060 --> 03:58:43,740
have a police officer there.

2985
03:58:43,740 --> 03:58:48,260
Um, if you want to make a motion or I'll make a motion to have staff research the whole

2986
03:58:48,260 --> 03:58:49,860
Chava and bring it back to us.

2987
03:58:50,620 --> 03:58:54,300
If you like, yes, ma'am, I just wanted to interject you.

2988
03:58:54,600 --> 03:59:00,660
We are still in litigation for our previous, we're like, I'm going to be kidding me.

2989
03:59:01,280 --> 03:59:01,300
Yes.

2990
03:59:01,600 --> 03:59:02,480
Yes, I know.

2991
03:59:02,620 --> 03:59:03,700
I have a child still.

2992
03:59:03,720 --> 03:59:10,080
Every other child that's younger than this litigation is terrible and because I'm still

2993
03:59:10,080 --> 03:59:15,300
an auditor, they're in Pembroke Pines, they're in every other location. I just thought it was from

2994
03:59:15,300 --> 03:59:21,400
the previous, we were one of them the way was implemented. Yeah. Yeah, it was. We were one of the first

2995
03:59:21,400 --> 03:59:28,060
cities to be sued over that, and actually the litigation for almost everyone else was cleared up,

2996
03:59:28,880 --> 03:59:33,700
had the Supreme Court level, but because of the way that this city implemented it, it didn't

2997
03:59:33,700 --> 03:59:39,520
cover us. So now we're trying, we've had to wait for this to get cleared up on all these other cases

2998
03:59:39,520 --> 03:59:46,140
for us and we're trying now to get a ruling that pertains to us but it's just has not been

2999
03:59:47,740 --> 03:59:54,720
easy to do that. Okay, even with that rolling in place we can still go ahead and create a new program.

3000
03:59:57,920 --> 03:59:59,900
Yeah, I just recommend mayor that we

3001
04:00:00,000 --> 04:00:09,700
Allow the city manager, the space that he needs in consideration of the massive budget challenges that he's dealing with, to figure this out.

3002
04:00:10,080 --> 04:00:16,680
Because I hate to give mandates when you don't have money to do the basics.

3003
04:00:17,480 --> 04:00:22,400
right well I know I and I don't even know how they're rolling out these programs still

3004
04:00:22,400 --> 04:00:26,780
if they were doing it the way in the past that it was actually implemented

3005
04:00:26,780 --> 04:00:32,980
because they did it plus it was like a shared thing so they covered the

3006
04:00:32,980 --> 04:00:37,040
infrastructure I don't know if you're aware about the whole program but I hear

3007
04:00:37,040 --> 04:00:40,000
you at least they're hearing it now from two of us I don't know if anybody else

3008
04:00:40,000 --> 04:00:44,540
wants to chime in but thank thank you for that and I'll talk offline with our

3009
04:00:44,540 --> 04:00:51,400
the attorney on the other issue. And I think that was it. That was the easy. That was my

3010
04:00:51,400 --> 04:00:57,620
communication. Thank you commissioner. City attorney. Well, I have no communication

3011
04:00:57,620 --> 04:01:03,940
but I just say on that on that one issue. If you all would like, I can have Wyseroda is the front

3012
04:01:03,940 --> 04:01:10,740
of the purpose of the city on that litigation and has been since 2010. Oh, I'll call him and say,

3013
04:01:10,740 --> 04:01:14,400
I can't get this closed out already. It's three different, everybody else has been.

3014
04:01:14,580 --> 04:01:18,340
It shows me a lot of money many, many times. And there's a reason, there's a reason.

3015
04:01:18,740 --> 04:01:26,480
They're not being neglectful of this case. It really has not been within their power to do that.

3016
04:01:26,600 --> 04:01:29,660
We've given the state of the other litigation in that matter.

3017
04:01:29,860 --> 04:01:37,600
So I will do as I will arrange for a status report of memo detailing what the state of the law is

3018
04:01:38,180 --> 04:01:41,760
related to our litigation because that's something you all should be aware of anyway.

3019
04:01:42,520 --> 04:01:45,880
I do have one from last year, but I have a motif for this year.

3020
04:01:46,100 --> 04:01:46,580
Thank you.

3021
04:01:46,580 --> 04:01:47,560
Thank you, City Attorney.

3022
04:01:48,040 --> 04:01:48,720
City Manager.

3023
04:01:49,140 --> 04:01:49,780
I'm sorry.

3024
04:01:50,040 --> 04:01:50,640
I forgot some.

3025
04:01:51,100 --> 04:01:52,980
I want to remind everybody on Friday.

3026
04:01:53,460 --> 04:01:58,760
Upper deck is going to be hosting a meet and greet with the heroes of

3027
04:02:05,260 --> 04:02:06,300
Sasha and

3028
04:02:07,060 --> 04:02:13,020
For every donation they, they're helping me sponsor, well, I'm going to pay for it.

3029
04:02:13,740 --> 04:02:17,460
But every drink, don't get a free drink or something like that.

3030
04:02:17,620 --> 04:02:23,400
But please share that post and share the information with everyone as well as try to speak

3031
04:02:23,400 --> 04:02:30,300
to your partners and animal lovers and all that to try to get funds raised for our toast.

3032
04:02:30,860 --> 04:02:35,880
And on Friday at three o'clock, there will be a, and I think it was a publicly

3033
04:02:35,880 --> 04:02:36,920
notice meeting,

3034
04:02:39,020 --> 04:02:44,560
Mr. Hannings, this Thomas Budman, will be on a Zoom call and meet and greet,

3035
04:02:44,700 --> 04:02:50,140
so you can share that as well. On Friday, Commissioner Taube, you'll be on deck to discuss

3036
04:02:50,140 --> 04:02:55,060
your ordinance and I hope you all join in. Sorry, go ahead, CM.

3037
04:03:02,620 --> 04:03:08,820
Sorry about that. I was on mute. Actually, no announcements for me tonight. I appreciate it very much.

3038
04:03:08,820 --> 04:03:12,960
Um, there was one thing I had to confirm with the city clerk, however, and was there a

3039
04:03:12,960 --> 04:03:13,540
population?

3040
04:03:14,520 --> 04:03:17,980
Um, for the collagee, or sometimes probably saying it.

3041
04:03:18,160 --> 04:03:18,800
It was a proof.

3042
04:03:18,920 --> 04:03:19,720
Sam, thank you.

3043
04:03:19,800 --> 04:03:20,060
Okay.

3044
04:03:20,200 --> 04:03:22,080
I was going to make sure that that was okay.

3045
04:03:22,160 --> 04:03:22,780
Thank you.

3046
04:03:22,860 --> 04:03:23,740
That's it for me.

3047
04:03:23,860 --> 04:03:24,820
I kept forgetting.

3048
04:03:25,120 --> 04:03:26,140
And I forgot it was waiting.

3049
04:03:27,160 --> 04:03:27,280
All right.

3050
04:03:27,460 --> 04:03:28,200
Thank you very much.

3051
04:03:28,400 --> 04:03:28,560
That's it.

3052
04:03:28,560 --> 04:03:29,040
Thank you.

3053
04:03:29,460 --> 04:03:29,740
Okay.

3054
04:03:30,360 --> 04:03:31,660
Meeting adjourned with faith.

3055
04:03:32,120 --> 04:03:33,280
Sit tight.

3056
04:03:34,320 --> 04:03:34,580
Okay.

3057
04:03:35,420 --> 04:03:36,680
I'm going to call the order.

3058
04:03:38,440 --> 04:03:41,960
The special meeting, I just want to do three-eyed.
