00:27:53,374 --> 00:27:57,150
And our last and final school is Winston Park Elementary

365
00:27:57,150 --> 00:27:59,550
led by Principal O'Neal.

366
00:29:21,128 --> 00:29:23,528
>> All right, very cool.

367
00:29:23,549 --> 00:29:27,749
Thank you so much for leading that.

368
00:29:28,214 --> 00:29:31,640
Congratulations, again, to you guys.

369
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,454
It's really awesome.

370
00:29:32,454 --> 00:29:33,314
Very cool.

371
00:29:33,314 --> 00:29:36,926
Don't leave, though, because your boss is about to present.

372
00:29:36,926 --> 00:29:39,326
So don't walk out.

373
00:29:39,624 --> 00:29:41,624
Don't leave.

374
00:29:41,795 --> 00:29:44,195
Don't worry, Dr. Hepburn.

375
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,394
I will take notes if I see anyone leaving.

376
00:29:46,394 --> 00:29:48,654
Now we are going to transition into a presentation

377
00:29:48,654 --> 00:29:54,540
from Superintendent Dr. Howard Hepburn, chief of staff John

378
00:29:55,334 --> 00:29:57,774
Sullivan, to provide an update on the secure the Next

379
00:29:57,774 --> 00:29:59,414
Generation referendum renewal.

380
00:29:59,414 --> 00:30:03,140
Dr. Hepburn, the floor is yours.

381
00:30:04,554 --> 00:30:05,846
>> Thank you, and good evening.

382
00:30:05,846 --> 00:30:09,423
I see the, butterfly Capitol world knows how to have fun.

383
00:30:09,423 --> 00:30:09,923
Absolutely.

384
00:30:09,923 --> 00:30:10,978
Thank you for having us.

385
00:30:10,978 --> 00:30:12,520
Thank you for giving us just a moment

386
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,395
to talk about the next generation referendum.

387
00:30:14,395 --> 00:30:17,730
As I said earlier, I saw some of the commission earlier,

388
00:30:17,730 --> 00:30:22,507
the mayor, and also nice to see you, vice-mayor,

389
00:30:22,507 --> 00:30:24,798
and the rest of the Commission.

390
00:30:24,798 --> 00:30:29,598
Thank you for your continued partnership and support

391
00:30:32,798 --> 00:30:34,550
of our schools.

392
00:30:34,550 --> 00:30:38,689
We appreciate all of that, and the continued partnership

393
00:30:38,689 --> 00:30:40,439
is what it takes to make the magic happen.

394
00:30:40,439 --> 00:30:43,814
We will talk about some of that magic and our accomplishment.

395
00:30:43,814 --> 00:30:49,814
I'm here with our Chief of Staff, Mr. John Sullivan.

396
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,934
We will tag team on the presentation.

397
00:30:51,934 --> 00:30:53,649
Also, to make our lawyers happy, I just

398
00:30:53,649 --> 00:30:56,274
want to inform everybody that we are here to educate and inform

399
00:30:56,274 --> 00:30:57,631
and not to advocate.

400
00:30:57,631 --> 00:30:59,477
I want to make sure you understand

401
00:30:59,477 --> 00:31:01,406
what we are using our dollars for currently

402
00:31:01,406 --> 00:31:03,425
and also what we plan to use the dollars

403
00:31:03,425 --> 00:31:06,882
for in the future, if the referendum is to surpass.

404
00:31:06,882 --> 00:31:09,827
I definitely want to talk about some of our accomplishments

405
00:31:09,827 --> 00:31:14,184
and just recognize some wonderful individuals behind me,

406
00:31:14,184 --> 00:31:17,406
our educators, that make the magic happen in our classroom.

407
00:31:17,406 --> 00:31:24,600
We are A-rated back to back to back three-peat school district.

408
00:31:26,330 --> 00:31:31,974
No D and F rate in any of our schools.

409
00:31:31,974 --> 00:31:35,574
Our traditional, district-operated high school --

410
00:31:36,844 --> 00:31:39,140
alternative schools and also charter schools equates

411
00:31:39,140 --> 00:31:41,414
to a 91.4% graduation rate.

412
00:31:51,140 --> 00:31:53,224
What that means for the public --

413
00:31:53,224 --> 00:31:55,474
we really challenge our kids with rigorous coursework,

414
00:31:55,474 --> 00:31:57,766
college-level coursework and high school where kids are

415
00:31:57,766 --> 00:31:59,947
earning college credit before they graduate,

416
00:31:59,947 --> 00:32:04,489
which equates to a lot of scholarship dollars, as well.

417
00:32:04,489 --> 00:32:05,864
In order to be prepared for that,

418
00:32:05,864 --> 00:32:07,989
we are actually exposing our middle school students

419
00:32:07,989 --> 00:32:10,314
to a lot of high school level courses, as well in.

420
00:32:10,314 --> 00:32:11,731
There's one accomplishment that we

421
00:32:11,731 --> 00:32:13,985
have for the 2025, 2026 school year,

422
00:32:13,985 --> 00:32:15,360
and that's the Cambridge District

423
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,701
of the year for large district.

424
00:32:16,701 --> 00:32:19,600
There's only one large district in the nation that earned that

425
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,700
recognition this year -- during the 2025, 2026 year,

426
00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:26,734
and that was Broward County public schools.

427
00:32:26,734 --> 00:32:29,940
We beat out every large school district in the nation.

428
00:32:29,940 --> 00:32:29,914
Absolutely.

429
00:32:29,914 --> 00:32:34,154
Always want to remind the public of our skill.

430
00:32:34,154 --> 00:32:37,621
We are a very large school district, sixth largest school

431
00:32:37,621 --> 00:32:39,496
district in the nation, second largest school

432
00:32:39,496 --> 00:32:42,930
district in the state, Miami-Dade being

433
00:32:42,930 --> 00:32:44,698
the first largest in the state.

434
00:32:44,698 --> 00:32:48,954
We have about 236,000 students, about 180 of those students are

435
00:32:48,954 --> 00:32:51,235
in our district-operated schools.

436
00:32:51,235 --> 00:32:52,818
The others are in our charter schools.

437
00:32:52,818 --> 00:32:58,218
We have about 325 schools, and we have about 86 charter

438
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,720
schools, 27,000 employees, in the class of 2026 earned $617

439
00:33:08,370 --> 00:33:10,324
million worth of scholarships.

440
00:33:10,324 --> 00:33:13,894
That's the result of challenging our students in high school

441
00:33:13,894 --> 00:33:18,540
and exposing them to rigorous coursework and college level

442
00:33:18,540 --> 00:33:19,270
coursework in our schools.

443
00:33:19,270 --> 00:33:21,314
It equates to a lot of scholarship dollars.

444
00:33:21,314 --> 00:33:25,714
That is actually $200 million higher than the class of 2025.

445
00:33:25,714 --> 00:33:27,818
Looking forward to seeing what the class of 2027

446
00:33:27,818 --> 00:33:30,185
does and beat out the class of 2026.

447
00:33:30,185 --> 00:33:32,585
No pressure, class of 2027.

448
00:33:32,974 --> 00:33:38,374
Again, triple A rating for the past three years.

449
00:33:39,614 --> 00:33:42,734
If you look at the bottom row, about four years ago,

450
00:33:42,734 --> 00:33:48,826
we had our share of B and F schools and C schools,

451
00:33:48,826 --> 00:33:51,960
and comparable when it came to A and B schools.

452
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,160
We have since demolished all of our D and F schools.

453
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,574
We have reduced those by about 100% three years ago.

454
00:33:58,574 --> 00:34:02,174
We have increased our a --

455
00:34:03,470 --> 00:34:05,470
A by over 130%.

456
00:34:06,860 --> 00:34:09,434
That happens because of these guys,

457
00:34:09,434 --> 00:34:13,634
right here, our principals, assistant principals, teachers,

458
00:34:14,182 --> 00:34:16,800
the folks that are not in the room,

459
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,934
are the custodians, bus drivers, the people in our admin

460
00:34:18,934 --> 00:34:21,450
buildings and cubicles, the hundreds of thousands

461
00:34:21,450 --> 00:34:23,849
of volunteers across Broward County

462
00:34:23,849 --> 00:34:26,400
and partnerships with cities such as the city of Coconut

463
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,390
Creek and all of our other partners across the county.

464
00:34:29,390 --> 00:34:32,974
It takes truly a village to have these accomplishments.

465
00:34:32,974 --> 00:34:35,534
These are some of the grades for your local schools

466
00:34:35,534 --> 00:34:38,182
here in the city of Coconut Creek.

467
00:34:38,182 --> 00:34:44,182
Just to recognize your A-rated elementary schools and your K

468
00:34:50,467 --> 00:34:52,910
through 8 Academy.

469
00:34:52,910 --> 00:34:54,584
With that -- y'all got me excited.

470
00:34:54,584 --> 00:34:58,792
I've got to transfer it over to Mr. Sullivan who's

471
00:34:58,792 --> 00:35:00,334
going to talk about all the things we

472
00:35:00,334 --> 00:35:05,400
do with the dollars we receive locally here in Broward County.

473
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,275
>> He gets to talk about the accomplishments,

474
00:35:07,275 --> 00:35:08,574
and I get to talk about taxes.

475
00:35:08,574 --> 00:35:09,400
A fun.

476
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,224
Good evening.

477
00:35:10,224 --> 00:35:11,537
John Sullivan, chief of Staff.

478
00:35:11,537 --> 00:35:13,454
Thank you so much for the opportunity not only

479
00:35:13,454 --> 00:35:17,150
to brief the commission, but your residents, as well.

480
00:35:17,150 --> 00:35:19,142
The residents are used to seeing this

481
00:35:19,142 --> 00:35:21,440
on the primary ballot since 2018.

482
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,438
We go every four years.

483
00:35:23,438 --> 00:35:27,272
But statute changed, so now it's in the November ballot.

484
00:35:27,272 --> 00:35:29,919
That's why you didn't see it this primary.

485
00:35:29,919 --> 00:35:32,336
They will see it on the November 3rd ballot when they were

486
00:35:32,336 --> 00:35:34,140
deciding whether or not to support us.

487
00:35:34,140 --> 00:35:36,982
Again, this is a renewal of our existing referendum.

488
00:35:36,982 --> 00:35:38,474
It is not a new tax.

489
00:35:38,474 --> 00:35:42,674
It is a tax that exists today.

490
00:35:44,294 --> 00:35:47,280
I'm sure everyone here in the audience, commission,

491
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,414
myself included, got our notices.

492
00:35:49,414 --> 00:35:51,556
This is already on it.

493
00:35:51,556 --> 00:35:53,734
This is for four years.

494
00:35:53,734 --> 00:35:57,994
It would be impacting the 2027 and 2028 school year.

495
00:35:57,994 --> 00:36:01,398
The referendum -- the new one would generate about $358

496
00:36:01,398 --> 00:36:03,654
million across all of our schools,

497
00:36:03,654 --> 00:36:05,574
and that includes our charter schools.

498
00:36:05,574 --> 00:36:08,394
It really funds three buckets within the referendum,

499
00:36:08,394 --> 00:36:12,769
which is teacher and staff compensation supplements --

500
00:36:12,769 --> 00:36:15,102
that is our frontline workers, so not only our teachers,

501
00:36:15,102 --> 00:36:18,278
but our bus drivers, custodial workers, cafeteria workers,

502
00:36:18,278 --> 00:36:20,614
everyone who has an impact on our students,

503
00:36:20,614 --> 00:36:22,420
including our site leaders, as well.

504
00:36:22,420 --> 00:36:26,634
The second bucket is our school safety personnel.

505
00:36:26,634 --> 00:36:31,706
We know the cities, including your city, partner with us,

506
00:36:31,706 --> 00:36:33,414
and it is a financial burden to the city,

507
00:36:33,414 --> 00:36:35,154
so do we appreciate that partnership.

508
00:36:35,154 --> 00:36:38,486
On the onset of the original referendum back in 2018,

509
00:36:38,486 --> 00:36:40,850
that contribution rate was about $55,000,

510
00:36:40,850 --> 00:36:44,208
with the continuation of the referendums,

511
00:36:44,208 --> 00:36:47,238
we were able to increase it to a current $119,000.

512
00:36:47,238 --> 00:36:51,434
We hope to continue having those conversations on how to continue

513
00:36:51,434 --> 00:36:53,934
to increase it, because we know it's a burden to the city's.

514
00:36:53,934 --> 00:36:56,934
But we do -- cities.

515
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,279
But we do appreciate the partnership

516
00:37:00,279 --> 00:37:01,654
and keeping all our schools safe.

517
00:37:01,654 --> 00:37:04,534
The third and final bucket is the mental health personnel.

518
00:37:04,534 --> 00:37:07,300
Again, not a new tax -- existing.

519
00:37:07,300 --> 00:37:08,774
It is a renewal.

520
00:37:08,774 --> 00:37:10,207
Just want to point that out again.

521
00:37:10,207 --> 00:37:13,758
These are some of the items that it funds.

522
00:37:13,758 --> 00:37:17,480
So currently com at the referendum funds $173 million

523
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,620
in our compensation supplements for teachers and eligible staff.

524
00:37:21,620 --> 00:37:26,462
It funds over 393 school safety personnel and also about $1.7

525
00:37:27,164 --> 00:37:31,964
million in software, including our panic buttons --

526
00:37:32,839 --> 00:37:35,890
all our staff members have a panic button on them now.

527
00:37:35,890 --> 00:37:35,672
It's critical.

528
00:37:35,672 --> 00:37:37,860
It saves the seconds and connects to law enforcement

529
00:37:37,860 --> 00:37:40,827
if they press it a certain number of times.

530
00:37:40,827 --> 00:37:43,362
So it will fund security measures such as that

531
00:37:43,362 --> 00:37:44,654
through the current referendum.

532
00:37:44,654 --> 00:37:48,504
And then we fund about 224 mental health personnel.

533
00:37:48,504 --> 00:37:54,728
So I won't go too much into what is a bond and referendum.

534
00:37:54,728 --> 00:37:56,603
I did just want to spell out that the bond is

535
00:37:56,603 --> 00:37:57,395
for our facilities.

536
00:37:57,395 --> 00:37:59,754
Obviously, I don't have to tell anyone in the room,

537
00:37:59,754 --> 00:38:01,874
there's been some negative press in that bond.

538
00:38:01,874 --> 00:38:05,225
But the superintendent has done a good job

539
00:38:05,225 --> 00:38:08,940
of closing out that program with the work delays.

540
00:38:08,940 --> 00:38:09,514
This is separate and apart.

541
00:38:09,514 --> 00:38:12,940
The referendum does not fund our facilities program.

542
00:38:12,940 --> 00:38:13,540
That is the bond.

543
00:38:13,540 --> 00:38:15,791
The referendum has been audited since the original back in 2018.

544
00:38:15,791 --> 00:38:19,654
It has been found to be spent appropriately, according

545
00:38:19,654 --> 00:38:21,222
to the ballot language.

546
00:38:21,222 --> 00:38:24,130
I won't read the ballot language entirely,

547
00:38:24,130 --> 00:38:27,702
just wanted to point out that this is the ballot language that

548
00:38:27,702 --> 00:38:30,425
the voters will see when they decide whether or not to support

549
00:38:30,425 --> 00:38:32,678
it on that November 3rd ballot.

550
00:38:32,678 --> 00:38:35,734
The board has taken a vote, officially,

551
00:38:35,734 --> 00:38:38,926
to allocate if the referendum was successful.

552
00:38:38,926 --> 00:38:42,526
90% would go towards our compensation and 10%

553
00:38:43,522 --> 00:38:45,999
for safety and mental health.

554
00:38:45,999 --> 00:38:49,334
The referendum is really the only mechanism

555
00:38:49,334 --> 00:38:52,264
that the board has to generate additional funds outside

556
00:38:52,264 --> 00:38:53,910
of our state allocation.

557
00:38:53,910 --> 00:38:56,374
We know that's not enough.

558
00:38:56,374 --> 00:38:58,574
We are not unique.

559
00:38:58,574 --> 00:39:01,614
Almost half the districts in the state of Florida

560
00:39:01,614 --> 00:39:02,494
have referendums.

561
00:39:02,494 --> 00:39:05,480
They are experiencing the same shortfalls as we have.

562
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,334
But the board and the superintendent

563
00:39:07,334 --> 00:39:09,934
have taken action on our general funds

564
00:39:09,934 --> 00:39:13,664
because we know we have to react to the reality of our declining

565
00:39:13,664 --> 00:39:14,164
enrollment.

566
00:39:14,164 --> 00:39:18,224
With that said, the board reduced 1000 positions

567
00:39:18,224 --> 00:39:19,374
from district level.

568
00:39:19,374 --> 00:39:24,494
So we were intentionally not to impact our schools.

569
00:39:24,494 --> 00:39:27,368
That generates about $54 million in annual savings.

570
00:39:27,368 --> 00:39:30,454
We also restructured our health care to our employees,

571
00:39:30,454 --> 00:39:34,214
saving another $46 million, and closing seven schools.

572
00:39:34,214 --> 00:39:35,822
That has generated about $100 million

573
00:39:35,822 --> 00:39:37,654
in savings this year and annually,

574
00:39:37,654 --> 00:39:40,414
but that really is just to deal with the shortfall

575
00:39:40,414 --> 00:39:43,104
of the decline in enrollment that we continue to experience.

576
00:39:43,104 --> 00:39:47,904
We lost about another 11,000 this school year, alone.

577
00:39:50,376 --> 00:39:53,109
That is not unique to Broward schools.

578
00:39:53,109 --> 00:39:55,234
Our neighbors are experiencing declining enrollment

579
00:39:55,234 --> 00:39:58,302
in large numbers, and really, across the country,

580
00:39:58,302 --> 00:40:00,734
as relates to large urban school districts.

581
00:40:00,734 --> 00:40:03,438
What does this mean for the average homeowner in terms

582
00:40:03,438 --> 00:40:06,215
of what they are assessed?

583
00:40:06,215 --> 00:40:07,395
These are averages.

584
00:40:07,395 --> 00:40:09,364
Again, if your house is worth more or less,

585
00:40:09,364 --> 00:40:10,614
it will be a little different.

586
00:40:10,614 --> 00:40:14,378
The average is about $418 annually or about $35 per month.

587
00:40:14,378 --> 00:40:19,235
Condominium owners, it's about $230 a year or $19 a month.

588
00:40:19,235 --> 00:40:21,635
That generates $358 million annually

589
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:27,510
through the course of the four-year referendum every year.

590
00:40:27,510 --> 00:40:30,260
So what happens if the referendum doesn't pass?

591
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:33,958
So we would not be able to go through our general funds

592
00:40:33,958 --> 00:40:35,314
to fund these items.

593
00:40:35,314 --> 00:40:40,327
We are very close to our 3% requirement from the state.

594
00:40:40,327 --> 00:40:43,205
We go below that, there is state intervention.

595
00:40:43,205 --> 00:40:45,374
So our level of services as it relates

596
00:40:45,374 --> 00:40:48,884
to compensation supplements, safety and security,

597
00:40:48,884 --> 00:40:51,278
and mental health will be impacted.

598
00:40:51,278 --> 00:40:53,262
We will continue to keep our schools safe,

599
00:40:53,262 --> 00:40:54,804
but there will be difficult decisions

600
00:40:54,804 --> 00:40:56,313
that the board will have to make.

601
00:40:56,313 --> 00:40:58,362
I know that was a lot of information.

602
00:40:58,362 --> 00:41:02,446
There's a QR code if your residents want

603
00:41:02,446 --> 00:41:04,542
to learn more information, and there's a website

604
00:41:04,542 --> 00:41:05,860
with more information.

605
00:41:05,860 --> 00:41:06,526
We will take some questions.

606
00:41:06,526 --> 00:41:09,640
Don't ask too hard questions, because my boss

607
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,464
is right behind me.

608
00:41:12,402 --> 00:41:14,527
>> Is there anybody on the dais that had a question

609
00:41:14,527 --> 00:41:18,127
for the team, or a comment?

610
00:41:18,966 --> 00:41:20,966
Commissioner Railey?

611
00:41:22,915 --> 00:41:23,582
>> Good evening.

612
00:41:23,582 --> 00:41:24,734
Thanks for being here.

613
00:41:24,734 --> 00:41:28,222
This is so important, and these are difficult times.

614
00:41:28,222 --> 00:41:30,174
I think it's important that we actually

615
00:41:30,174 --> 00:41:36,174
educate our residents on what happens if this doesn't pass.

616
00:41:36,734 --> 00:41:44,534
All this is fine and well to tell them what will happen --

617
00:41:45,562 --> 00:41:48,620
what could happen -- but I think they need specific details.

618
00:41:48,620 --> 00:41:52,468
I think that's what -- actual examples of what would happen

619
00:41:52,468 --> 00:41:54,635
in the classroom, what would happen to the teachers,

620
00:41:54,635 --> 00:41:56,661
what would happen to the students.

621
00:41:56,661 --> 00:42:01,287
I think, because it's so important to keep these funds

622
00:42:01,287 --> 00:42:07,434
for our teachers -- right now, our daughter is a special Ed

623
00:42:07,434 --> 00:42:08,442
teacher in New York --

624
00:42:08,442 --> 00:42:10,842
has been for 23 years.

625
00:42:12,140 --> 00:42:16,614
She can't come here because of the wages.

626
00:42:16,614 --> 00:42:20,654
They make three, four times as much in New York.

627
00:42:20,654 --> 00:42:24,702
To keep our quality teachers, I think

628
00:42:24,702 --> 00:42:26,194
we need to keep up with the times.

629
00:42:26,194 --> 00:42:28,180
Cost of living is through the roof.

630
00:42:28,180 --> 00:42:29,782
We need our teachers to keep up with that.

631
00:42:29,782 --> 00:42:33,534
They are the most important people in our children's lives,

632
00:42:33,534 --> 00:42:34,844
in our future.

633
00:42:34,844 --> 00:42:37,844
And it's so important. [ Applause]

634
00:42:44,540 --> 00:42:44,797
Thank you.

635
00:42:44,797 --> 00:42:45,540
You are.

636
00:42:45,540 --> 00:42:46,412
God bless you.

637
00:42:46,412 --> 00:42:49,740
I saw it in the classroom with her for three minutes and --

638
00:42:49,740 --> 00:42:52,409
I sat in the classroom with her for three minutes,

639
00:42:52,409 --> 00:42:54,606
and I said, see you, honey.

640
00:42:54,606 --> 00:42:56,214
It's very important that they actually

641
00:42:56,214 --> 00:42:58,134
know what would happen if this doesn't pass.

642
00:42:58,134 --> 00:43:01,700
And thank you for what you do.

643
00:43:01,700 --> 00:43:02,987
>> As it relates to the supplements currently,

644
00:43:02,987 --> 00:43:05,914
on average, our teachers receive about $10,000 supplement

645
00:43:05,914 --> 00:43:06,414
annually.

646
00:43:06,414 --> 00:43:08,900
We know we can never pay them enough,

647
00:43:08,900 --> 00:43:10,824
but that does make a huge difference.

648
00:43:10,824 --> 00:43:13,131
Our neighbors to the south and north of us

649
00:43:13,131 --> 00:43:16,380
have referendums with similar funding items.

650
00:43:16,380 --> 00:43:20,140
So if they were able to provide that supplement or not, we

651
00:43:20,140 --> 00:43:22,646
would be at a disadvantage, it would impact our ability

652
00:43:22,646 --> 00:43:25,884
to really retain and improve, because our employees

653
00:43:25,884 --> 00:43:30,449
have options to work in the Tri-County area.

654
00:43:30,449 --> 00:43:31,574
>> Thank you, Commissioner.

655
00:43:31,574 --> 00:43:33,574
Commissioner Rydell?

656
00:43:35,140 --> 00:43:35,847
>> Thank you, mayor.

657
00:43:35,847 --> 00:43:37,347
We have a lot of ladies here in blue

658
00:43:37,347 --> 00:43:40,128
that I think this entire dais supports and I

659
00:43:40,128 --> 00:43:43,540
think our selfless and what they do every day in the classroom.

660
00:43:43,540 --> 00:43:45,778
The question I have is a little more unique.

661
00:43:45,778 --> 00:43:47,414
This is obviously something I support,

662
00:43:47,414 --> 00:43:50,140
but I guess the question is -- and I'm asking a strategic

663
00:43:50,140 --> 00:43:52,996
question, just cards on the table.

664
00:43:52,996 --> 00:43:56,118
You are putting a ballot referendum on, where we have

665
00:43:56,118 --> 00:43:58,969
a property tax reform item on, where there's going to be

666
00:43:58,969 --> 00:44:02,494
a general climate of saying no, saying no to this,

667
00:44:02,494 --> 00:44:04,894
saying no to --

668
00:44:05,648 --> 00:44:10,926
and the media that you guys have engaged in isn't good.

669
00:44:10,926 --> 00:44:12,907
You are making cuts.

670
00:44:12,907 --> 00:44:18,740
I mean, the list came out the past week that three,

671
00:44:18,740 --> 00:44:22,878
for Coconut Creek schools are borderline in terms of their --

672
00:44:22,878 --> 00:44:25,773
three, four coconut Creek schools are borderline in terms

673
00:44:25,773 --> 00:44:26,606
of their enrollment.

674
00:44:26,606 --> 00:44:29,198
I guess the question I have, to educate --

675
00:44:29,198 --> 00:44:30,834
because this is something I support.

676
00:44:30,834 --> 00:44:32,334
Teachers to the north and south make

677
00:44:32,334 --> 00:44:33,984
more than the average teacher in our county.

678
00:44:33,984 --> 00:44:35,540
I don't agree with that.

679
00:44:35,540 --> 00:44:37,540
I don't know if that's true or not.

680
00:44:37,540 --> 00:44:39,387
I guess the question I have for you --

681
00:44:39,387 --> 00:44:41,874
not trying to be difficult -- is,

682
00:44:41,874 --> 00:44:46,547
what do you want us to say with that narrative?

683
00:44:46,547 --> 00:44:51,840
And I say it in a public forum, not trying to put either of you

684
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,702
on the spot, because I will make my position very clear.

685
00:44:54,702 --> 00:44:55,750
I support this.

686
00:44:55,750 --> 00:44:57,964
I support this unequivocally in terms

687
00:44:57,964 --> 00:44:59,504
of supporting our teachers.

688
00:44:59,504 --> 00:45:03,294
But we are in a climate that doesn't support it.

689
00:45:03,294 --> 00:45:06,283
The headlines coming out of the school board

690
00:45:06,283 --> 00:45:07,435
are school closings.

691
00:45:07,435 --> 00:45:09,560
You're already cutting mental health professionals.

692
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,574
There's already a debate with SROs in the cities

693
00:45:13,574 --> 00:45:15,718
and this big back and forth match with it.

694
00:45:15,718 --> 00:45:18,140
I'm asking for you to educate me on that.

695
00:45:18,140 --> 00:45:22,330
How do I and how do we, as elected officials and people

696
00:45:22,330 --> 00:45:24,498
in this room, educate our neighbors,

697
00:45:24,498 --> 00:45:27,627
when we are seeing a very contrary narrative publicly

698
00:45:27,627 --> 00:45:31,450
to why we need to support that?

699
00:45:31,450 --> 00:45:33,178
Now, I agree with your Powerpoint,

700
00:45:33,178 --> 00:45:34,720
but I'm asking a very candid question

701
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:37,774
with a lot of active people in this room of saying,

702
00:45:37,774 --> 00:45:38,590
we need this.

703
00:45:38,590 --> 00:45:40,114
Educate me better because the public narrative

704
00:45:40,114 --> 00:45:40,992
doesn't support this.

705
00:45:40,992 --> 00:45:43,538
So change my mind, even though I'm with you,

706
00:45:43,538 --> 00:45:45,625
but I'm just saying I think --

707
00:45:45,625 --> 00:45:47,542
I have a tremendous amount of respect for you.

708
00:45:47,542 --> 00:45:48,589
We know each other in.

709
00:45:48,589 --> 00:45:51,511
I say it, because much like our dais is struggling with

710
00:45:51,511 --> 00:45:55,644
amendment 3 and what to do with it with, educate,

711
00:45:55,644 --> 00:45:57,142
not advocate --

712
00:45:57,142 --> 00:45:59,520
I'm totally with you on that.

713
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,270
There's narratives coming out of downtown.

714
00:46:01,270 --> 00:46:04,496
How do we combat that, and how do we better educate

715
00:46:04,496 --> 00:46:06,496
our constituents?

716
00:46:06,582 --> 00:46:09,582
That's a terribly difficult question.

717
00:46:13,528 --> 00:46:13,978
>> It is a good question.

718
00:46:13,978 --> 00:46:15,860
A lot of narratives out there that

719
00:46:15,860 --> 00:46:17,619
are difficult to control with this type of media today.

720
00:46:17,619 --> 00:46:19,827
I will simply state that, in order for us to continue

721
00:46:19,827 --> 00:46:23,294
to provide the high quality instruction that our teachers

722
00:46:23,294 --> 00:46:25,894
provide day in and day out, in order

723
00:46:25,894 --> 00:46:29,174
for cities to celebrate changes in their communities

724
00:46:29,174 --> 00:46:32,446
through their schools, it is important to invest

725
00:46:32,446 --> 00:46:35,654
in the education of the students that are writing

726
00:46:35,654 --> 00:46:39,469
the bicycles through your neighborhoods, that are riding

727
00:46:39,469 --> 00:46:42,664
the scooters through your neighborhood, that

728
00:46:42,664 --> 00:46:46,955
are in your parks, that are going through our K

729
00:46:46,955 --> 00:46:49,270
through 12 system, having excellent outcomes,

730
00:46:49,270 --> 00:46:51,444
creating outcomes that are pulling in money for themselves

731
00:46:51,444 --> 00:46:54,907
through scholarships for their post-secondary dreams,

732
00:46:54,907 --> 00:46:57,619
to go to colleges, wherever it may be,

733
00:46:57,619 --> 00:46:59,670
to come back and pay it forward to the community

734
00:46:59,670 --> 00:47:01,753
that they grew up in, to the communities that they

735
00:47:01,753 --> 00:47:03,526
have attended schools in.

736
00:47:03,526 --> 00:47:09,140
The only ability for us to do that is to support additional

737
00:47:09,140 --> 00:47:13,814
opportunities to bring in revenue through local efforts.

738
00:47:13,974 --> 00:47:18,464
-- so we continue to recruit and retain high quality educators,

739
00:47:18,464 --> 00:47:20,989
such as the ones you see in the room.

740
00:47:20,989 --> 00:47:23,989
Without it, that quality diminishes.

741
00:47:24,894 --> 00:47:27,568
Our ability to retain and recruit teachers

742
00:47:27,568 --> 00:47:30,534
like the ones who made the magic happen in these schools today

743
00:47:30,534 --> 00:47:31,254
diminishes.

744
00:47:31,254 --> 00:47:37,254
And it will impact households, and it will impact --

745
00:47:38,178 --> 00:47:40,261
>> I think something extraordinarily important is,

746
00:47:40,261 --> 00:47:42,614
listen, we have some crown jewels of Broward County

747
00:47:42,614 --> 00:47:46,510
on Coconut Creek Parkway, in terms of some of our vocational

748
00:47:46,510 --> 00:47:47,759
schools, as well as our other schools in.

749
00:47:47,759 --> 00:47:49,259
I think our city and this commission

750
00:47:49,259 --> 00:47:51,894
is invested in our schools more so than other cities have,

751
00:47:51,894 --> 00:47:55,254
in terms of things that we invest in,

752
00:47:55,254 --> 00:47:56,454
partnerships that we have.

753
00:47:56,454 --> 00:47:59,360
I think that's something this commission --

754
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,262
I speak for myself -- will always continue to do.

755
00:48:01,262 --> 00:48:04,833
But I say it from a point of advice.

756
00:48:04,833 --> 00:48:06,666
You need to figure out a really creative way

757
00:48:06,666 --> 00:48:09,683
to go against the grain on some of this, the salmon

758
00:48:09,683 --> 00:48:11,350
swimming against the grain a little bit,

759
00:48:11,350 --> 00:48:12,683
because there's a bad narrative.

760
00:48:12,683 --> 00:48:14,507
Social media -- you're right.

761
00:48:14,507 --> 00:48:16,460
We deal with the same thing.

762
00:48:16,460 --> 00:48:17,700
Listen, I support any efforts.

763
00:48:17,700 --> 00:48:20,207
I will educate in any of your efforts.

764
00:48:20,207 --> 00:48:22,819
Just a moment of clarity in a room full of people --

765
00:48:22,819 --> 00:48:25,194
that's the hardest thing to come forward on some of these

766
00:48:25,194 --> 00:48:28,116
narratives that you're going to have people in the ballot box

767
00:48:28,116 --> 00:48:29,949
making the wrong decision for our community.

768
00:48:29,949 --> 00:48:31,885
I'm happy to always be a partner with you.

769
00:48:31,885 --> 00:48:34,510
I'm happy to always be a partner and advocate for our teachers.

770
00:48:34,510 --> 00:48:37,722
But I think it starts -- and I love that we have 15 teachers

771
00:48:37,722 --> 00:48:38,222
here.

772
00:48:38,222 --> 00:48:41,104
It starts with them, too.

773
00:48:41,104 --> 00:48:46,504
They need to educate and advocate -- educate --

774
00:48:47,286 --> 00:48:51,225
the lawyers -- and I say it, and I commend you for the effort

775
00:48:51,225 --> 00:48:53,534
of going to all these cities and engaging.

776
00:48:53,534 --> 00:48:54,514
I'm not going to be a commissioner that's

777
00:48:54,514 --> 00:48:56,160
going to yell at you, because it's wrong.

778
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:57,694
We have to invest in our future and.

779
00:48:57,694 --> 00:48:58,894
I thank you for being here.

780
00:48:58,894 --> 00:49:01,990
Thank you for your presentation, at least for me.

781
00:49:01,990 --> 00:49:03,150
I want to speak for the whole commission.

782
00:49:03,150 --> 00:49:07,350
This is real, and this is significant.

783
00:49:10,904 --> 00:49:12,904
>> Commissioner Brodie?

784
00:49:15,133 --> 00:49:15,816
>> There's a lot of things people don't know.

785
00:49:15,816 --> 00:49:17,233
My mom was actually a teacher back

786
00:49:17,233 --> 00:49:19,174
in San Diego, which sounds great,

787
00:49:19,174 --> 00:49:21,254
unless you happen to be her son in her class.

788
00:49:21,254 --> 00:49:23,454
The one year I didn't get away with anything.

789
00:49:23,454 --> 00:49:27,469
So it's always a soft spot when we start talking about teachers,

790
00:49:27,469 --> 00:49:29,514
and I'm going to tell you, for me,

791
00:49:29,514 --> 00:49:31,274
the education system, the number one thing

792
00:49:31,274 --> 00:49:33,660
we should be talking about besides the kids

793
00:49:33,660 --> 00:49:34,643
is, what are we paying the teachers?

794
00:49:34,643 --> 00:49:37,779
We could talk about all this great stuff,

795
00:49:37,779 --> 00:49:41,574
but unless there is a real raise in the lap of these teachers,

796
00:49:41,574 --> 00:49:45,439
to make sure that we are continuing to get these As

797
00:49:45,439 --> 00:49:47,974
and continuing the top notch schools that we keep bragging

798
00:49:47,974 --> 00:49:50,852
about, it's going to start with pay,

799
00:49:50,852 --> 00:49:52,233
and it's going to end with pay.

800
00:49:52,233 --> 00:49:54,566
We've got to make sure that that's what we're advocating

801
00:49:54,566 --> 00:49:57,214
for, because all of us should be advocating -- every parent,

802
00:49:57,214 --> 00:50:00,130
every teacher, every principal, everybody on this dais should be

803
00:50:00,130 --> 00:50:04,626
saying, we need to make sure that they are getting paid to be

804
00:50:04,626 --> 00:50:09,347
As, because they are turning out A situations.

805
00:50:09,347 --> 00:50:12,813
We can talk about this presentation -- in fact,

806
00:50:12,813 --> 00:50:15,480
I asked for a copy of it because I was impressed by the numbers.

807
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,122
But the reality of it is, let's make sure we pay our teachers.

808
00:50:18,122 --> 00:50:22,322
That should be our number one thing.

809
00:50:22,526 --> 00:50:24,526
[Applause]

810
00:50:25,497 --> 00:50:27,497
>> Commissioner Welch?

811
00:50:29,161 --> 00:50:30,226
>> I don't want to repeat what's already been said,

812
00:50:30,226 --> 00:50:32,117
but I do think the devil is in the details,

813
00:50:32,117 --> 00:50:38,717
and just like how we are tasked with educating on amendment 3,

814
00:50:39,739 --> 00:50:43,950
I think the examples -- because you and I talked at lunch over

815
00:50:43,950 --> 00:50:49,950
an example on amendment 3, of what would clearly make it

816
00:50:50,174 --> 00:50:52,174
impressive to people.

817
00:50:53,650 --> 00:50:56,390
If they call 911 and there has been

818
00:50:56,390 --> 00:51:00,147
a reduction in our fire/rescue that

819
00:51:00,147 --> 00:51:02,542
is going to delay time or the dispatchers delay time

820
00:51:02,542 --> 00:51:06,142
in the responders getting there is

821
00:51:06,784 --> 00:51:12,784
an example of what could happen if we pass amendment 3.

822
00:51:13,148 --> 00:51:14,810
And I think that was a lightbulb to me.

823
00:51:14,810 --> 00:51:20,210
I'm hoping that it resurrects some examples, like Commissioner

824
00:51:22,945 --> 00:51:25,750
Railey said, that will make people snap and think

825
00:51:25,750 --> 00:51:26,742
twice about voting this referendum down.

826
00:51:26,742 --> 00:51:29,142
That's all I'm saying.

827
00:51:29,374 --> 00:51:31,111
You came up with a great example for me.

828
00:51:31,111 --> 00:51:34,574
I wish I could have come up with a great example for you.

829
00:51:34,574 --> 00:51:36,718
But we love our teachers.

830
00:51:36,718 --> 00:51:37,974
We love our schools.

831
00:51:37,974 --> 00:51:41,234
And we are very proud of what they have done here.

832
00:51:41,234 --> 00:51:41,964
So thank you.

833
00:51:41,964 --> 00:51:46,164
Thank you for delivering the tough message.

834
00:51:46,950 --> 00:51:52,694
>> No, I think what everybody says up here is so true.

835
00:51:52,694 --> 00:51:57,296
Broward County is the largest employer in the county?

836
00:51:57,296 --> 00:51:59,171
>> I think so.

837
00:51:59,171 --> 00:51:59,671
>> Okay.

838
00:51:59,671 --> 00:52:00,974
There's a lot more people than just teachers.

839
00:52:00,974 --> 00:52:01,720
There's clerical.

840
00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:02,834
There's cafeteria workers.

841
00:52:02,834 --> 00:52:04,140
There's bus drivers.

842
00:52:04,140 --> 00:52:05,334
There's custodians.

843
00:52:05,334 --> 00:52:11,850
Those people are getting a piece of this, am I correct?

844
00:52:11,850 --> 00:52:14,142
That, I think, also -- assistant principals, as well --

845
00:52:14,142 --> 00:52:17,820
that's something that I think needs to be conveyed, as well.

846
00:52:17,820 --> 00:52:22,693
Teachers obviously spend the most time with our students,

847
00:52:22,693 --> 00:52:24,818
but there is such supporting characters around them

848
00:52:24,818 --> 00:52:26,214
that make that building tick.

849
00:52:26,214 --> 00:52:30,920
It always says, teachers and certain staff, or some staff.

850
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,154
I think people need to understand what that staff is.

851
00:52:34,154 --> 00:52:34,924
It's everyone.

852
00:52:34,924 --> 00:52:37,606
It's everybody that makes that school go round.

853
00:52:37,606 --> 00:52:40,219
You've got my full support.

854
00:52:40,219 --> 00:52:45,694
I will do what I can, always, to help you guys out.

855
00:52:45,694 --> 00:52:47,185
I used to work for you.

856
00:52:47,185 --> 00:52:48,270
I'm all in.

857
00:52:48,270 --> 00:52:52,540
I appreciate you guys coming here and taking the time.

858
00:52:52,540 --> 00:52:55,619
It seems like I spent all day with you now.

859
00:52:55,619 --> 00:52:56,838
We had lunch together.

860
00:52:56,838 --> 00:52:57,687
It was a great time.

861
00:52:57,687 --> 00:52:59,796
But no, thanks for being here.

862
00:52:59,796 --> 00:53:03,996
What I would like is, if possible,

863
00:53:04,780 --> 00:53:07,758
maybe come back in the second semester and give us an update.

864
00:53:07,758 --> 00:53:11,899
I think it's so important to have connection with you guys

865
00:53:11,899 --> 00:53:14,694
and just, we'd love to have you come back again,

866
00:53:14,694 --> 00:53:16,262
and maybe a second semester roundup

867
00:53:16,262 --> 00:53:21,662
would be fun, if you guys are into it.

868
00:53:22,370 --> 00:53:24,263
Commissioner Rydell?

869
00:53:24,263 --> 00:53:26,388
>> I would just ask whatever educational materials,

870
00:53:26,388 --> 00:53:29,949
I would ask you to share with our PIO,

871
00:53:29,949 --> 00:53:30,991
so we have the ability --

872
00:53:30,991 --> 00:53:32,449
I think that's an important aspect.

873
00:53:32,449 --> 00:53:35,370
Whatever materials you are doing,

874
00:53:35,370 --> 00:53:37,620
that's something educationally we have the ability to push out

875
00:53:37,620 --> 00:53:42,938
as well, to educate, so I'd ask you --

876
00:53:42,938 --> 00:53:48,338
so share with us any of that educational --

877
00:53:48,636 --> 00:53:54,214
and we engage in an educational campaign with our partners.

878
00:53:54,214 --> 00:53:54,797
>> Absolutely.

879
00:53:54,797 --> 00:53:55,547
Thanks, gentlemen.

880
00:53:55,547 --> 00:53:59,147
We really appreciate your time tonight.

881
00:54:00,850 --> 00:54:02,850
[Applause]

882
00:54:02,848 --> 00:54:04,694
And Bernadette, we can look for something

883
00:54:04,694 --> 00:54:05,865
for the second semester?

884
00:54:05,865 --> 00:54:08,807
You'll reach out to them?

885
00:54:08,807 --> 00:54:10,476
Thank you so much.

886
00:54:10,476 --> 00:54:11,474
We appreciate it.

887
00:54:11,474 --> 00:54:13,582
All right, let's keep it moving.

888
00:54:13,582 --> 00:54:15,190
We've got some more celebrating.

889
00:54:15,190 --> 00:54:19,390
We have a presentation recognizing the 2026 Coconut

890
00:54:19,974 --> 00:54:23,574

More celebrating.

929
00:58:28,901 --> 00:58:33,101
The crowd is getting smaller, you know?

930
00:58:34,110 --> 00:58:35,249
All right.

931
00:58:35,249 --> 00:58:37,124
But just because the crowd is getting smaller

932
00:58:37,124 --> 00:58:40,142
doesn't mean the excitement is not going to still be here.

933
00:58:40,142 --> 00:58:43,574
When we celebrate our third quarter employee milestone

934
00:58:43,574 --> 00:58:46,440
anniversaries for the fiscal year of 2026,

935
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:50,542
I'm going to introduce our director Pam Kershaw who

936
00:58:50,542 --> 00:58:52,531
will conduct our presentation.

937
00:58:52,531 --> 00:58:54,531
What's up, Pam?

938
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:57,128

939
00:58:57,128 --> 00:58:58,384
Good evening, everybody.

00:58:58,384 --> 00:59:00,384
This is exciting.

941
00:59:00,454 --> 00:59:04,200
I'm very honored to recognize a group of employees

942
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,404
who have celebrated milestone years of service

943
00:59:06,404 --> 00:59:07,414
during the past quarter.

944
00:59:07,414 --> 00:59:09,400
Several of them are here tonight.

945
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:12,760
If you are here, when I say your name,

946
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:13,659
if you would please hold up your sign,

947
00:59:13,659 --> 00:59:16,126
stand up, wave so we can recognize you,

948
00:59:16,126 --> 00:59:17,174
that would be awesome.

949
00:59:17,174 --> 00:59:19,123
Our first group of employees has celebrated

950
00:59:19,123 --> 00:59:20,307
five years of service.

951
00:59:20,307 --> 00:59:24,688
Two of them are here, very near and dear to my heart,

952
00:59:24,688 --> 00:59:26,980

and engineering, Ernest.

00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,720
Those are our five year employees.

961
01:00:01,402 --> 01:00:02,370
[Applause]

962
01:00:02,370 --> 01:00:04,620
We have one employee celebrating ten years of service,

963
01:00:04,620 --> 01:00:10,620
and he is here tonight, our special events planner Leo.

964
01:00:14,913 --> 01:00:15,974
[Applause]

965
01:00:15,974 --> 01:00:20,317
We have two employees who celebrated 15 years of service.

966
01:00:20,317 --> 01:00:22,856
One of them is here tonight.

967
01:00:22,856 --> 01:00:27,560

01:00:34,916 --> 01:00:36,304
And he could not be here tonight,

970
01:00:36,304 --> 01:00:39,304
but police Sergeant Roger Hall.

971
01:00:41,883 --> 01:00:43,880
[Applause]

972
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:49,280
We ahve -- have two employees who celebrated 20 years

973
01:00:51,969 --> 01:00:53,969
of service --

974
01:00:54,173 --> 01:00:59,573
Esther -- and we have police officer Josh Bailey.

975
01:01:06,852 --> 01:01:07,852
[Applause]

976
01:01:07,852 --> 01:01:10,487
Lastly, we had three employees celebrate 25 years of service.

977
01:01:10,487 --> 01:01:11,862
One is actually a recent retiree,

978
01:01:11,862 --> 01:01:15,160
but she did celebrate her 25 years,

979
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:19,734
and we will be celebrating her next month, I understand, here.

980
01:01:19,734 --> 01:01:23,334
That was police Lieutenant Brandy Delvecchio.

981
01:01:26,174 --> 01:01:30,974
And we have our deputy city manager, Scott.

982
01:01:35,894 --> 01:01:39,494
And our facilities maintenance supervisor, John.

983
01:01:46,501 --> 01:01:48,501
[Applause]

984
01:01:49,686 --> 01:01:55,860
John is here with his beautiful wife and kids.

985
01:01:55,894 --> 01:01:59,676
Look what a beautiful family they are right there.

986
01:01:59,676 --> 01:02:03,387
If you guys could all come up with your years of service sign,

987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:07,587
we'd love to take a picture, please.

988
01:02:08,455 --> 01:02:10,455
[Applause]

989
01:02:22,236 --> 01:02:25,836
From five years up to 25 years.

990
01:02:34,285 --> 01:02:36,685
It's a good-looking group.

991
01:02:47,235 --> 01:02:52,350
Thank you all for your years of service.

992
01:03:07,253 --> 01:03:08,239
Super fun.

993
01:03:08,239 --> 01:03:11,930
All right we are now going to transition

994
01:03:11,930 --> 01:03:15,410
to a proclamation recognizing September 2026 as Hunger Action

995
01:03:15,410 --> 01:03:15,541
Month.

996
01:03:15,541 --> 01:03:20,390
And reading this tonight is our very own commissioner Welch.

997
01:03:20,390 --> 01:03:25,553
She will read it into the record and present it --

998
01:03:25,553 --> 01:03:27,781
from feeding South Florida.

999
01:03:27,781 --> 01:03:29,653
Please tell me I said that right.

1000
01:03:29,653 --> 01:03:32,530
Commissioner, it's all you.

1001
01:03:33,557 --> 01:03:35,349
>> Thank you, and thank you for being here.

1002
01:03:35,349 --> 01:03:38,588
Where hunger affects nearly 1 million people in South Florida

1003
01:03:38,588 --> 01:03:40,421
and whereas ensuring that food is accessible

1004
01:03:40,421 --> 01:03:42,962
should not be an impossible challenge for our community,

1005
01:03:42,962 --> 01:03:47,243
and whereas a lack of access to enough nutritious food

1006
01:03:47,243 --> 01:03:50,883
can have serious consequences on community health and well-being,

1007
01:03:50,883 --> 01:03:55,683
and whereas, since 1981, Feeding South Florida has worked

1008
01:03:55,853 --> 01:03:57,893
to end hunger in Coconut Creek by providing

1009
01:03:57,893 --> 01:04:00,173
our community in need with immediate access

1010
01:04:00,173 --> 01:04:05,213
to nutritious food, and whereas Feeding South Florida leads

1011
01:04:05,213 --> 01:04:08,433
hunger and poverty advocacy efforts in our community,

1012
01:04:08,433 --> 01:04:11,373
while improving lives through programing and education

1013
01:04:11,373 --> 01:04:15,146
that provides economic growth and overall well-being,

1014
01:04:15,146 --> 01:04:17,930
and whereas the city of Coconut Creek

1015
01:04:17,930 --> 01:04:19,812
supports the efforts from feeding South

1016
01:04:19,812 --> 01:04:21,532
Florida, so that together,

1017
01:04:21,532 --> 01:04:25,732
we can achieve a hunger-free South Florida

1018
01:04:26,173 --> 01:04:29,773
where those in need transitioned from dependency

1019
01:04:29,773 --> 01:04:30,674
to self-sufficiency.

1020
01:04:30,674 --> 01:04:32,966
Therefore be it resolved that the city of Coconut Creek

1021
01:04:32,966 --> 01:04:36,690
hereby proclaim September 2026 as Hunger Action Month.

1022
01:04:36,690 --> 01:04:38,829
In the city of Coconut Creek to raise awareness of hunger

1023
01:04:38,829 --> 01:04:42,610
in South Florida and encourage the community to take action

1024
01:04:42,610 --> 01:04:44,253
to end hunger in our community.

1025
01:04:44,253 --> 01:04:46,930
It is signed by the mayor and the Commission

1026
01:04:46,930 --> 01:04:47,863
and attested by our City Clerk.

1027
01:04:47,863 --> 01:04:50,263
Thank you very much.

1028
01:04:51,658 --> 01:04:53,658
[Applause]

1029
01:05:22,188 --> 01:05:25,756
>> You are more than welcome to comment if you wanted to say

1030
01:05:25,756 --> 01:05:28,156
something -- you're good?

1031
01:05:30,890 --> 01:05:32,279
We are going to move on to our next proclamation,

1032
01:05:32,279 --> 01:05:36,610
a proclamation recognizing September 14th through the 20th

1033
01:05:36,610 --> 01:05:39,621
2026 as National Diaper Need Awareness Week.

1034
01:05:39,621 --> 01:05:45,210
Chosen to read this proclamation tonight was Commissioner Rydell.

1035
01:05:45,573 --> 01:05:48,730
He will read into the record and present

1036
01:05:48,730 --> 01:05:50,921
it to Angie from the Greater Fort Lauderdale Diaper Bank.

1037
01:05:50,921 --> 01:05:52,921
Where are you?

1038
01:05:53,527 --> 01:05:54,757
Hey.

1039
01:05:54,757 --> 01:06:00,386
>> I remembered last year, at City Hall, where I came in --

1040
01:06:00,386 --> 01:06:02,711
I'm surprised you're not reading the proclamation.

1041
01:06:02,711 --> 01:06:06,357
You had a car full of diapers, and you were driving down

1042
01:06:06,357 --> 01:06:07,149
to Fort Lauderdale.

1043
01:06:07,149 --> 01:06:09,839
I want to commend you for that personal donation.

1044
01:06:09,839 --> 01:06:12,386
If you want, I will let you read it.

1045
01:06:12,386 --> 01:06:14,933
I was surprised because I know you have a kid.

1046
01:06:14,933 --> 01:06:16,153
A lot of diapers.

1047
01:06:16,153 --> 01:06:20,353
I commend you for your diaper donation.

1048
01:06:21,304 --> 01:06:24,453
Whereas diaper need, the condition of not being

1049
01:06:24,453 --> 01:06:27,138
able to afford a sufficient supply of clean diapers,

1050
01:06:27,138 --> 01:06:29,138
can affect the health and well-being of children

1051
01:06:29,138 --> 01:06:31,693
and their families, and whereas national surveys and research

1052
01:06:31,693 --> 01:06:33,613
studies report that nearly 1 in 2 families

1053
01:06:33,613 --> 01:06:36,197
struggle with diaper need, 48% of families

1054
01:06:36,197 --> 01:06:39,765
delay changing a diaper to extend the available supply,

1055
01:06:39,765 --> 01:06:41,788
and whereas access to adequate daily

1056
01:06:41,788 --> 01:06:43,663
or weekly supply of diapers is often required

1057
01:06:43,663 --> 01:06:45,373
for babies and toddlers to attend

1058
01:06:45,373 --> 01:06:48,873
childcare programs and quality early education programs

1059
01:06:48,873 --> 01:06:52,218
and enable children to thrive, parents to work,

1060
01:06:52,218 --> 01:06:53,977
whereas parents coping with diaper

1061
01:06:53,977 --> 01:06:55,769
need report missing an average of five days

1062
01:06:55,769 --> 01:06:57,355
a month due to the lack of diapers,

1063
01:06:57,355 --> 01:06:59,563
impeding their ability to maintain steady employment,

1064
01:06:59,563 --> 01:07:03,183
and whereas diaper banks serve as a vital resource

1065
01:07:03,183 --> 01:07:05,973
for improving the health well-being,

1066
01:07:05,973 --> 01:07:08,343
strengthening family, economic security,

1067
01:07:08,343 --> 01:07:11,153
and to the well-being and productivity of our community,

1068
01:07:11,153 --> 01:07:14,585
and whereas last year, the Fort Lauderdale Diaper Bank served 52

1069
01:07:14,585 --> 01:07:17,973
Coconut Creek residents in case management delivery services

1070
01:07:17,973 --> 01:07:20,930
and provided diapers to approximately 43 residents

1071
01:07:20,930 --> 01:07:23,573
monthly in its distribution pantries and collaborated with

1072
01:07:23,573 --> 01:07:27,773
community partners, contributing 200,000 diapers to our community

1073
01:07:30,993 --> 01:07:33,798
alone, whereas the people of Coconut Creek recognized diaper

1074
01:07:33,798 --> 01:07:36,866
need as a public health issue, and addressing diaper need can

1075
01:07:36,866 --> 01:07:39,353
lead to economic opportunity for families, communities,

1076
01:07:39,353 --> 01:07:40,900
and improved health for children,

1077
01:07:40,900 --> 01:07:42,525
thus ensuring all children and families

1078
01:07:42,525 --> 01:07:45,325
have access to the basic necessities required to thrive

1079
01:07:45,325 --> 01:07:46,873
and reach their full potential.

1080
01:07:46,873 --> 01:07:49,629
Therefore, be it resolved that the City Commission

1081
01:07:49,629 --> 01:07:51,903
in the City of Coconut Creek proclaims

1082
01:07:51,903 --> 01:07:55,805
the week as national diaper need awareness.

1083
01:07:55,805 --> 01:08:00,116
The city of Coconut Creek, in gratitude to our area diaper

1084
01:08:00,116 --> 01:08:01,533
banks and their community partners

1085
01:08:01,533 --> 01:08:04,116
in their steadfast commitment to support children and families

1086
01:08:04,116 --> 01:08:06,893
in the community, signed by the mayor, the Vice mayor,

1087
01:08:06,893 --> 01:08:09,213
commission, and attested to by the city clerk.

1088
01:08:09,213 --> 01:08:10,590
I look forward to Angie coming up

1089
01:08:10,590 --> 01:08:13,693
so I can present it and ask that the mayor, whose donation was

1090
01:08:13,693 --> 01:08:17,293
significant last year, come and present.

1091
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,733
>> On behalf of the greater Fort Lauderdale diaper bank,

1092
01:09:03,733 --> 01:09:07,221
I'm thrilled to accept this proclamation as we mark our 10th

1093
01:09:07,221 --> 01:09:08,843
year of serving our community.

1094
01:09:08,843 --> 01:09:11,303
The greater Fort Lauderdale Diaper Bank

1095
01:09:11,303 --> 01:09:13,845
holds monthly distributions for both infants and adults

1096
01:09:13,845 --> 01:09:16,530
on the first Thursday of each month.

1097
01:09:16,530 --> 01:09:18,506
We partner with various social service organizations

1098
01:09:18,506 --> 01:09:20,637
across different cities and communities

1099
01:09:20,637 --> 01:09:22,941
to help bridge the diaper gap.

1100
01:09:22,941 --> 01:09:27,157
I'm pleased to announce that this year we are excited to host

1101
01:09:27,157 --> 01:09:32,530
our second gala to celebrate and dedicate the 10th year

1102
01:09:32,530 --> 01:09:32,879
of service.

1103
01:09:32,879 --> 01:09:36,373
If anyone is interested in contributing, donating,

1104
01:09:36,373 --> 01:09:38,373
attending, participating, volunteering,

1105
01:09:38,433 --> 01:09:40,813
or learning more about these opportunities,

1106
01:09:40,813 --> 01:09:43,213
please check our website .

1107
01:09:45,999 --> 01:09:50,530
On behalf of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Diaper Bank,

1108
01:09:50,530 --> 01:09:54,253
thank you so much for the proclamation.

1109
01:09:54,594 --> 01:09:56,594
[Applause]

1110
01:10:00,150 --> 01:10:03,150
>> Commissioner, anything else to say?

1111
01:10:03,243 --> 01:10:04,608
No problem.

1112
01:10:04,608 --> 01:10:09,954
As noted at the beginning of the meeting, agenda item number

1113
01:10:09,954 --> 01:10:12,685
9 regarding the resilient Broward grant program

1114
01:10:12,685 --> 01:10:15,458
has been removed from tonight's agenda and will not be heard.

1115
01:10:15,458 --> 01:10:20,858
We are now going to transition to a presentation

1116
01:10:22,173 --> 01:10:25,383
by Greg Parks and Kevin Mullen regarding

1117
01:10:25,383 --> 01:10:28,773
updates on the school zone safety Enforcement program.

1118
01:10:28,773 --> 01:10:33,573
Greg Parks and Community Relations Vice President Kevin

1119
01:10:33,753 --> 01:10:36,203
Millan will make the presentation.

1120
01:10:36,203 --> 01:10:37,733
Good evening, gentlemen.

1121
01:10:37,733 --> 01:10:38,601
Microphone.

1122
01:10:38,601 --> 01:10:40,601
There you go.

1123
01:10:41,205 --> 01:10:43,205
All yours.

1124
01:10:44,962 --> 01:10:47,279
>> Good evening, mayor, commissioners, manager,

1125
01:10:47,279 --> 01:10:50,709
and our great police partners who are here.

1126
01:10:50,709 --> 01:10:52,741
Always enjoy coming here.

1127
01:10:52,741 --> 01:10:54,949
I do this around the country, and you guys definitely

1128
01:10:54,949 --> 01:10:56,130
have the most fun.

1129
01:10:56,130 --> 01:10:56,693
Appreciate that.

1130
01:10:56,693 --> 01:10:59,506
It is a great pleasure to be here.

1131
01:10:59,506 --> 01:11:02,190
We worked on this for a number of months now,

1132
01:11:02,190 --> 01:11:05,709
and we are pleased to say, already,

1133
01:11:05,709 --> 01:11:07,869
we are achieving the results we have

1134
01:11:07,869 --> 01:11:10,273
seen around the country and other communities

1135
01:11:10,273 --> 01:11:11,893
in South Florida.

1136
01:11:11,893 --> 01:11:16,365
We did a 60 day period, which is double the standard.

1137
01:11:16,365 --> 01:11:18,177
I congratulate you on that.

1138
01:11:18,177 --> 01:11:22,977
You had a very thorough public awareness campaign

1139
01:11:23,116 --> 01:11:25,731
--PSAs, fliers for the kids.

1140
01:11:25,731 --> 01:11:26,456
The word is out.

1141
01:11:26,456 --> 01:11:28,350
You guys have done a great job on that.

1142
01:11:28,350 --> 01:11:33,578
Since the Warning period, we've been operational about a month

1143
01:11:33,578 --> 01:11:34,203
with citations.

1144
01:11:34,203 --> 01:11:37,530
Already in that short period, violations are down 90%

1145
01:11:37,530 --> 01:11:41,241
from the test study that we did for your ordinance to establish

1146
01:11:41,241 --> 01:11:42,541
the height and safety risk.

1147
01:11:42,541 --> 01:11:46,373
68% of the violators are not residents of Coconut Creek.

1148
01:11:46,373 --> 01:11:50,530
They are people that are using your resources

1149
01:11:50,530 --> 01:11:52,453
and endangering your kids.

1150
01:11:52,693 --> 01:11:55,630
Their fine is actually going back in,

1151
01:11:55,630 --> 01:11:59,233
$12 of it, to the schools, interestingly enough,

1152
01:11:59,233 --> 01:12:00,483
as a segue of that.

1153
01:12:00,483 --> 01:12:01,669
The program is working.

1154
01:12:01,669 --> 01:12:03,493
Five of the school zones are completed.

1155
01:12:03,493 --> 01:12:08,893
The remaining ten are at Broward County for permitting.

1156
01:12:09,758 --> 01:12:12,546
Broward County is a little more methodical

1157
01:12:12,546 --> 01:12:15,398
in permitting than the city staff, but while I'm in town

1158
01:12:15,398 --> 01:12:17,273
I'm actually going to go over there tomorrow.

1159
01:12:17,273 --> 01:12:18,271
We've had plans in.

1160
01:12:18,271 --> 01:12:20,388
They've been going back and forth for comments.

1161
01:12:20,388 --> 01:12:22,221
Ever optimistic it will be resolved shortly.

1162
01:12:22,221 --> 01:12:24,253
Our team is working hard on it.

1163
01:12:24,253 --> 01:12:27,665
Once that is done, probably another 4 to 6 weeks

1164
01:12:27,665 --> 01:12:31,865
receiving the permits, because they are solar,

1165
01:12:31,894 --> 01:12:33,867
which we are proud of, as well.

1166
01:12:33,867 --> 01:12:35,693
The installation can be expedited.

1167
01:12:35,693 --> 01:12:37,201
It's been a while.

1168
01:12:37,201 --> 01:12:38,561
It's been a process.

1169
01:12:38,561 --> 01:12:39,937
We are pleased with the results.

1170
01:12:39,937 --> 01:12:42,530
We are very pleased with our partnership.

1171
01:12:42,530 --> 01:12:44,453
We appreciate you all.

1172
01:12:44,549 --> 01:12:49,286
I'm Greg Parks, senior Vice president of RedSpeed.

1173
01:12:49,286 --> 01:12:53,333
And Kevin Millan is actually your person on the ground here.

1174
01:12:53,333 --> 01:12:56,170
If you have any questions, we'd obviously

1175
01:12:56,170 --> 01:12:59,170
be pleased to answer those.

1176
01:13:00,597 --> 01:13:04,197
>> We will work our way down.

1177
01:13:04,678 --> 01:13:06,130
>> Greg, thank you for coming.

1178
01:13:06,130 --> 01:13:09,209
Just kind of a criticism --

1179
01:13:09,209 --> 01:13:10,959
I don't like getting something on the dais

1180
01:13:10,959 --> 01:13:13,165
that I haven't had before.

1181
01:13:13,165 --> 01:13:15,565
Not so cool, candidly.

1182
01:13:17,533 --> 01:13:19,694
He wants to address it.

1183
01:13:19,694 --> 01:13:22,612
I want you to address the subsections and categories

1184
01:13:22,612 --> 01:13:26,520
on page 3 and 4 in terms of your headers.

1185
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:28,273
What you just handed me, I just want

1186
01:13:28,273 --> 01:13:34,273
you to address how you are sub-categorizing your top bar.

1187
01:13:35,845 --> 01:13:37,553
I would have had this information before,

1188
01:13:37,553 --> 01:13:39,533
but again, you just gave it to me.

1189
01:13:39,533 --> 01:13:42,343
I'm going to ask you to work through your categories.

1190
01:13:42,343 --> 01:13:45,343
I'm seeing an NOB category.

1191
01:13:46,941 --> 01:13:48,993
I could assume that, just because of what

1192
01:13:48,993 --> 01:13:49,743
I do for a living.

1193
01:13:49,743 --> 01:13:51,618
But I'd like you to work through your numbers

1194
01:13:51,618 --> 01:13:56,227
for the public, whoever's going to do it.

1195
01:13:56,227 --> 01:13:57,813
>> I'll take care of it.

1196
01:13:57,813 --> 01:14:00,413
Working violations -- you see the amount of violations that

1197
01:14:00,413 --> 01:14:03,413
are imported into the system.

1198
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:08,520
The police review Q, which is -- queue,

1199
01:14:08,627 --> 01:14:10,919
which are violations that are going to go to the police

1200
01:14:10,919 --> 01:14:11,672
department to be reviewed.

1201
01:14:11,672 --> 01:14:13,513
Then you have dismissals, so if there's

1202
01:14:13,513 --> 01:14:14,363
something wrong with that violation,

1203
01:14:14,363 --> 01:14:16,581
it will be dismissed through that review process.

1204
01:14:16,581 --> 01:14:20,253
Then you have your actual notice of violations.

1205
01:14:20,253 --> 01:14:24,573
Those are actual good violations or enforcement actions

1206
01:14:24,573 --> 01:14:28,370
that are sent out, approved by the police department,

1207
01:14:28,370 --> 01:14:30,573
and mailed out to the violators.

1208
01:14:30,573 --> 01:14:34,173
Then you have the paid violations.

1209
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:39,293
UTC-eligible, meaning they have not taken any action.

1210
01:14:39,293 --> 01:14:43,108
They come back into the queue, and they

1211
01:14:43,108 --> 01:14:45,613
are eligible to be issued a uniformed traffic citation.

1212
01:14:45,613 --> 01:14:52,940
And then you have your UTCs, which is your uniformed traffic

1213
01:14:52,940 --> 01:14:52,753
citations.

1214
01:14:52,753 --> 01:14:54,650
Those were the citations that were issued

1215
01:14:54,650 --> 01:14:58,250
for people that took no action.

1216
01:14:59,246 --> 01:14:59,573
>> I'm just going to take your numbers,

1217
01:14:59,573 --> 01:15:01,326
because I'm not a math guy.

1218
01:15:01,326 --> 01:15:02,516
I'm a lawyer.

1219
01:15:02,516 --> 01:15:04,916
You've got 436 working violations.

1220
01:15:05,573 --> 01:15:07,573
The police queued 16.

1221
01:15:07,877 --> 01:15:09,173
You dismissed 16.

1222
01:15:09,173 --> 01:15:10,613
You had 153 paid.

1223
01:15:10,613 --> 01:15:14,523
I'm doing ballpark math that you have over 200 outstanding,

1224
01:15:14,523 --> 01:15:16,923
and then you UTCed 86.

1225
01:15:19,679 --> 01:15:23,879
Mathematically speaking, I need to understand it.

1226
01:15:26,950 --> 01:15:27,693
You've got 200 missing.

1227
01:15:27,693 --> 01:15:30,930
Explain that to me.

1228
01:15:30,885 --> 01:15:32,343
>> This is always -- unfortunately,

1229
01:15:32,343 --> 01:15:33,550
the ball is always moving.

1230
01:15:33,550 --> 01:15:35,175
We've got a lot of violations out there

1231
01:15:35,175 --> 01:15:36,263
that people have not paid.

1232
01:15:36,263 --> 01:15:40,392
They have not come back to be UTC-eligible.

1233
01:15:40,392 --> 01:15:43,866
They may have requested a hearing, because that's not

1234
01:15:43,866 --> 01:15:45,866
reflected here, also.

1235
01:15:47,602 --> 01:15:49,520
>>That, to me, is a little troubling,

1236
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:50,523
and I will tell you why.

1237
01:15:50,523 --> 01:15:53,190
If we are looking and doing our due diligence as a municipality,

1238
01:15:53,190 --> 01:15:55,530
I want the numbers to add up.

1239
01:15:55,530 --> 01:15:56,343
We just got budget.

1240
01:15:56,343 --> 01:15:58,821
The budget doesn't balance, we are not doing our jobs

1241
01:15:58,821 --> 01:15:59,813
on the city commission.

1242
01:15:59,813 --> 01:16:01,173
Your numbers don't add up.

1243
01:16:01,173 --> 01:16:04,701
That's a red flag to me, in general.

1244
01:16:04,701 --> 01:16:08,886
Now you just said, well, we don't show that.

1245
01:16:08,886 --> 01:16:12,667
And again, I'm looking at this --

1246
01:16:12,667 --> 01:16:14,709
I'd love for you to come back for a presentation.

1247
01:16:14,709 --> 01:16:16,479
I appreciate what you've done in the city

1248
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:17,937
and I appreciate the concept of it.

1249
01:16:17,937 --> 01:16:19,733
I know our police department supports it.

1250
01:16:19,733 --> 01:16:22,108
But I'm looking at data right now that doesn't correlate.

1251
01:16:22,108 --> 01:16:25,726
Logically, to me, that's an issue, because like 50%

1252
01:16:25,726 --> 01:16:26,957
is out there.

1253
01:16:26,957 --> 01:16:29,733
I understood this when we approved your contract.

1254
01:16:29,733 --> 01:16:30,437
Pretty simple.

1255
01:16:30,437 --> 01:16:32,533
You have a working violation.

1256
01:16:32,533 --> 01:16:34,906
Clearly, our police department has dismissed 16

1257
01:16:34,906 --> 01:16:36,370
for one reason or another.

1258
01:16:36,370 --> 01:16:37,133
All good with that.

1259
01:16:37,133 --> 01:16:38,973
But you have 404 outstanding.

1260
01:16:38,973 --> 01:16:43,690
You have 153, your notice of violation --

1261
01:16:43,690 --> 01:16:47,185
you are shifting it to a UTC or traffic violation that will go

1262
01:16:47,185 --> 01:16:48,626
into the system.

1263
01:16:48,626 --> 01:16:50,453
But there's nothing there.

1264
01:16:50,453 --> 01:16:54,167
So are we missing it in terms of the time frame?

1265
01:16:54,167 --> 01:16:58,684
Because your notice of violation has a time frame on it, agreed?

1266
01:16:58,684 --> 01:17:02,818
If you don't pay the $100 or whatever it is -- it's $100.

1267
01:17:02,818 --> 01:17:05,653
I thought it was -- within a delineated time frame,

1268
01:17:05,653 --> 01:17:09,236
it will go to traffic violation.

1269
01:17:09,236 --> 01:17:10,195
Right?

1270
01:17:10,195 --> 01:17:11,278
>> That's a good question.

1271
01:17:11,278 --> 01:17:12,389
Can I address that?

1272
01:17:12,389 --> 01:17:14,893
Some of these could be as recently as yesterday.

1273
01:17:14,893 --> 01:17:19,581
The alleged violator has 30 days plus a grace period to pay.

1274
01:17:19,581 --> 01:17:21,933
You've only been live for 20 days.

1275
01:17:21,933 --> 01:17:26,133
None of these are due, even, yet.

1276
01:17:26,295 --> 01:17:28,337
>> If that's the answer, then I'm okay with that.

1277
01:17:28,337 --> 01:17:29,213
I'm good with that.

1278
01:17:29,213 --> 01:17:34,130
The lack of information is just something --

1279
01:17:34,970 --> 01:17:36,953
>> I do like coming here, and we will come after a larger sample

1280
01:17:36,953 --> 01:17:38,953
size, 90 days, 120 days.

1281
01:17:41,729 --> 01:17:43,812
>> Obviously I will defer to all of my colleagues.

1282
01:17:43,812 --> 01:17:48,612
Are you good coming back in, like, November?

1283
01:17:49,178 --> 01:17:50,345
>> You direct us to be here.

1284
01:17:50,345 --> 01:17:52,345
We'll be here.

1285
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:52,693
>> That's what I'm good with.

1286
01:17:52,693 --> 01:17:54,666
Your preliminary data, what you are showing

1287
01:17:54,666 --> 01:17:56,466
is great, because it's about school safety,

1288
01:17:56,466 --> 01:17:57,795
although everyone on social media

1289
01:17:57,795 --> 01:17:59,170
thinks it's a lot more than that.

1290
01:17:59,170 --> 01:18:03,197
But I don't want to address social media.

1291
01:18:03,197 --> 01:18:06,197
>> The safety results are incontrovertible.

1292
01:18:06,323 --> 01:18:07,365
>> Listen, it's all good.

1293
01:18:07,365 --> 01:18:08,290
I have thick skin.

1294
01:18:08,290 --> 01:18:11,130
But complete data sets, and the next presentation we get,

1295
01:18:11,130 --> 01:18:12,693
understanding that it's due, I'd like

1296
01:18:12,693 --> 01:18:13,861
to see complete number data in terms

1297
01:18:13,861 --> 01:18:15,113
of accounting for everything.

1298
01:18:15,113 --> 01:18:16,811
I'm picking one school section.

1299
01:18:16,811 --> 01:18:19,783
If we are talking 436, give me the full working numbers

1300
01:18:19,783 --> 01:18:22,300
of the 436 to see where they're at.

1301
01:18:22,300 --> 01:18:26,217
That's all I'm asking for, understanding that we are

1302
01:18:26,217 --> 01:18:30,138
so quick, and we delayed this -- and we did it right.

1303
01:18:30,138 --> 01:18:33,341
You guys were good partners in terms of having a large Warning

1304
01:18:33,341 --> 01:18:33,993
period.

1305
01:18:33,993 --> 01:18:36,229
The police department, in conjunction with you,

1306
01:18:36,229 --> 01:18:37,109
did a great rollout.

1307
01:18:37,109 --> 01:18:38,949
We had a painstaking rollout of this.

1308
01:18:38,949 --> 01:18:40,277
I just want complete data.

1309
01:18:40,277 --> 01:18:41,971
I'd love to see you back in November.

1310
01:18:41,971 --> 01:18:44,371
That's all I have.

1311
01:18:45,474 --> 01:18:46,730
>> Thank you.

1312
01:18:46,730 --> 01:18:47,290
No, I totally agree.

1313
01:18:47,290 --> 01:18:50,173
I asked the city manager in my agenda review

1314
01:18:50,173 --> 01:18:55,786
that this must be presented to us before the meeting.

1315
01:18:55,786 --> 01:19:00,443
And I meant like a day or so before.

1316
01:19:00,443 --> 01:19:01,776
The headings -- I totally agree.

1317
01:19:01,776 --> 01:19:03,693
We are not police talk.

1318
01:19:03,693 --> 01:19:07,293
We are not RedSpeed violation talk.

1319
01:19:07,594 --> 01:19:12,206
They definitely need to be spelled out as to what they are

1320
01:19:12,206 --> 01:19:12,706
--

1321
01:19:12,706 --> 01:19:15,660
NOV, notice a violation -- it makes sense.

1322
01:19:15,660 --> 01:19:21,666
But it needs to be where anyone that is reading it

1323
01:19:22,590 --> 01:19:24,101
could understand what the numbers are below that.

1324
01:19:24,101 --> 01:19:28,916
I still need to understand -- you said that there were ten

1325
01:19:28,916 --> 01:19:31,376
permits still with the county.

1326
01:19:31,376 --> 01:19:35,493
But we have heard that for a while now.

1327
01:19:35,493 --> 01:19:40,893
Where are those locations that the permits are missing?

1328
01:19:41,129 --> 01:19:45,350
>> It's in their handout, which you just received --

1329
01:19:45,350 --> 01:19:47,350
County roads.

1330
01:19:48,165 --> 01:19:50,165
>> What school locations?

1331
01:19:50,597 --> 01:19:54,197
So it's Monarch and Lion's Creek?

1332
01:19:57,762 --> 01:19:59,345
>> I think it's Tradewinds elementary,

1333
01:19:59,345 --> 01:20:01,593
it's monarch high school, Winston Park elementary,

1334
01:20:01,593 --> 01:20:06,533
coconut Creek high school, and Dave Thomas educational center,

1335
01:20:06,533 --> 01:20:08,533
Atlantic technical College.

1336
01:20:11,258 --> 01:20:14,940
>> So which ones are active?

1337
01:20:14,940 --> 01:20:15,853
you have active at Tradewinds Elementary

1338
01:20:15,853 --> 01:20:18,237
School on Johnson Road.

1339
01:20:18,237 --> 01:20:23,829
You have Winston Park Elementary School on Northwest 39th Avenue.

1340
01:20:23,829 --> 01:20:30,429
And you have Coconut Creek High School on Northwest 15th Street,

1341
01:20:32,990 --> 01:20:35,990
which are all city roads.

1342
01:20:36,462 --> 01:20:39,612
>> And the rest are not live?

1343
01:20:39,612 --> 01:20:42,356
>> Right, because they are on the county right of way,

1344
01:20:42,356 --> 01:20:47,756
and they haven't approved the permits as of yet.

1345
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:49,497
>> But if that's an ongoing issue,

1346
01:20:49,497 --> 01:20:51,930
is there a way to escalate that?

1347
01:20:51,930 --> 01:20:56,493
Are we able to help escalate that permitting process?

1348
01:20:57,629 --> 01:21:00,129
>> I know that our engineer had last contact with the county

1349
01:21:00,129 --> 01:21:01,159
on August 13th.

1350
01:21:01,159 --> 01:21:05,188
And we are due to have some answer from the county

1351
01:21:05,188 --> 01:21:07,188
by September 1st.

1352
01:21:09,715 --> 01:21:12,132
>> Because we thought the Warning periods were going to be

1353
01:21:12,132 --> 01:21:14,573
over before the end of last school year and then all live

1354
01:21:14,573 --> 01:21:16,973
beginning this school year.

1355
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:21,604
That's what the communication has been.

1356
01:21:22,580 --> 01:21:25,370
>> To directly answer your question -- we appreciate it --

1357
01:21:25,370 --> 01:21:27,162
certainly if you are willing to call your colleague

1358
01:21:27,162 --> 01:21:31,313
at the county -- obviously, we are doing all we can.

1359
01:21:31,313 --> 01:21:33,713
Our interests are 100% aligned.

1360
01:21:35,849 --> 01:21:38,549
>> Greg, we have a colleague from the county here.

1361
01:21:38,549 --> 01:21:40,438
He's two rows behind you.

1362
01:21:40,438 --> 01:21:41,613
He's hiding.

1363
01:21:41,613 --> 01:21:43,613
But --

1364
01:21:46,780 --> 01:21:48,530
>> I don't think there's any need to hide.

1365
01:21:48,530 --> 01:21:50,930
They are good partners.

1366
01:21:51,235 --> 01:21:53,235
>> I mean, Commissioner?

1367
01:21:55,185 --> 01:21:57,393
>> Let's get back to what you presented here tonight.

1368
01:21:57,393 --> 01:21:59,446
You heard it loud and clear.

1369
01:21:59,446 --> 01:22:00,956
We wanted to see the data.

1370
01:22:00,956 --> 01:22:02,626
We've been waiting for the data.

1371
01:22:02,626 --> 01:22:05,733
But we would like to get it in enough time

1372
01:22:05,733 --> 01:22:10,533
to where we are not just reviewing it.

1373
01:22:10,607 --> 01:22:14,207
>> We absolutely understand, and we apologize.

1374
01:22:14,730 --> 01:22:17,490
>> I heard Commissioner Rydell suggest November.

1375
01:22:17,490 --> 01:22:19,483
I would hope that, by then, we have

1376
01:22:19,483 --> 01:22:21,794
permits in place and better identified data,

1377
01:22:21,794 --> 01:22:24,641
and look forward to that.

1378
01:22:24,641 --> 01:22:28,753
I mean, I like that at least some of the measures

1379
01:22:28,753 --> 01:22:31,143
have slowed some people down significantly,

1380
01:22:31,143 --> 01:22:33,353
even if they aren't live.

1381
01:22:33,353 --> 01:22:35,565
They think they're live.

1382
01:22:35,565 --> 01:22:41,479
That's a good thing, if it helps one person stay safe.

1383
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:49,447
But we really want to see all of them live and the correct data

1384
01:22:49,447 --> 01:22:54,247
to identify the missing gaps in the numbers.

1385
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,800
>> The data is correct.

1386
01:22:57,357 --> 01:23:01,965
We need to label it better and present it --

1387
01:23:01,965 --> 01:23:04,257
>> We don't know where the numbers that are missing are

1388
01:23:04,257 --> 01:23:05,720
right now.

1389
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:07,720
Thank you.

1390
01:23:08,294 --> 01:23:08,961
>> Good evening.

1391
01:23:08,961 --> 01:23:09,995
Thanks for being here.

1392
01:23:09,995 --> 01:23:15,395
I just have a quick question about the dates.

1393
01:23:16,946 --> 01:23:22,499
So May 22nd -- and at the end of the school year,

1394
01:23:22,499 --> 01:23:25,499
the cameras went dark, right?

1395
01:23:25,804 --> 01:23:28,204
They weren't operating, correct?

1396
01:23:29,847 --> 01:23:33,496
>> They only operate on days that classes are in place.

1397
01:23:33,496 --> 01:23:37,263
>> So they were operating when there were only special classes?

1398
01:23:37,263 --> 01:23:38,763
>> Not in summer school, by statute,

1399
01:23:38,763 --> 01:23:41,790
but it is normal year and structural classes during

1400
01:23:41,790 --> 01:23:43,790
the school day.

1401
01:23:44,283 --> 01:23:44,905
>> So they were dark this summer?

1402
01:23:44,905 --> 01:23:45,522
Okay.

1403
01:23:45,522 --> 01:23:50,922
We are saying that, since school started, we've issued 436?

1404
01:23:56,947 --> 01:24:01,147
>> That's about ten a day, per camera.

1405
01:24:01,480 --> 01:24:02,147
>> Per camera --

1406
01:24:02,147 --> 01:24:03,133
I got you.

1407
01:24:03,133 --> 01:24:08,413
When you look at it that way, it doesn't seem so significant,

1408
01:24:08,413 --> 01:24:10,413
but it is.

1409
01:24:11,530 --> 01:24:14,653
436 violations in a very short time.

1410
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:18,263
>> This is all at no taxpayer expense,

1411
01:24:18,263 --> 01:24:22,311
actually helping fund the schools, which I talked about.

1412
01:24:22,311 --> 01:24:24,144
>> I know, but we don't want the violations.

1413
01:24:24,144 --> 01:24:25,365
We want them slowing down.

1414
01:24:25,365 --> 01:24:26,370
Thank you.

1415
01:24:26,370 --> 01:24:26,933
Yeah.

1416
01:24:26,933 --> 01:24:30,533
Look forward to the next report.

1417
01:24:33,472 --> 01:24:37,533
>> All right, so I'm going to harp on a little bit what

1418
01:24:37,533 --> 01:24:39,533
Commissioner Welch said.

1419
01:24:40,490 --> 01:24:41,740
I'm not going to be as polite.

1420
01:24:41,740 --> 01:24:44,198
What are the issues that we are talking about at the county

1421
01:24:44,198 --> 01:24:44,732
level?

1422
01:24:44,732 --> 01:24:47,492
Because we get permits from the county all the time.

1423
01:24:47,492 --> 01:24:49,968
We pass this almost two years ago, now.

1424
01:24:49,968 --> 01:24:53,633
For two years to get permits for something so simple --

1425
01:24:53,633 --> 01:24:57,893
I'm at a loss to what was going on for us not to get the --

1426
01:24:57,893 --> 01:25:01,930
for you not to get those permits.

1427
01:25:01,930 --> 01:25:04,386
And why haven't you reached out to us for help?

1428
01:25:04,386 --> 01:25:08,141
You thought it was a county issue within the last 12 months.

1429
01:25:08,141 --> 01:25:09,148
I'm kind of at a loss.

1430
01:25:09,148 --> 01:25:10,773
What was the gap there in communication

1431
01:25:10,773 --> 01:25:12,773
of not contacting us to step in after almost two

1432
01:25:12,773 --> 01:25:15,173
years of being approved?

1433
01:25:16,310 --> 01:25:17,239
>> I appreciate the question.

1434
01:25:17,239 --> 01:25:20,513
The county -- they are good to work with,

1435
01:25:20,513 --> 01:25:22,763
and we're never going to blame anything on the county.

1436
01:25:22,763 --> 01:25:23,763
It's our responsibility.

1437
01:25:23,763 --> 01:25:27,348
But the rules have changed a number of times --

1438
01:25:27,348 --> 01:25:29,473
a license agreement which was brought in midstream.

1439
01:25:29,473 --> 01:25:32,289
There's been design change requirements, so many feet

1440
01:25:32,289 --> 01:25:32,789
inside.

1441
01:25:32,789 --> 01:25:34,846
There's been a number of changes that the county

1442
01:25:34,846 --> 01:25:37,528
has made that we've had to start over in doing the permits.

1443
01:25:37,528 --> 01:25:38,986
That's certainly their prerogative.

1444
01:25:38,986 --> 01:25:39,943
We're not complaining.

1445
01:25:39,943 --> 01:25:41,420
We're not blaming anybody.

1446
01:25:41,420 --> 01:25:42,746
But those are the facts of life.

1447
01:25:42,746 --> 01:25:45,146
Can we do better?

1448
01:25:45,286 --> 01:25:47,286
Of course.

1449
01:25:48,966 --> 01:25:50,133
>> Let me ask you something.

1450
01:25:50,133 --> 01:25:54,797
How many cities are you in in Broward County?

1451
01:25:54,797 --> 01:25:56,797
>> 5 or 6.

1452
01:25:57,706 --> 01:25:59,789
>> Those 5 or 6, are you having the same problems,

1453
01:25:59,789 --> 01:26:04,197
or it's just Coconut Creek having the problem?

1454
01:26:04,197 --> 01:26:06,197
>> It's the county.

1455
01:26:06,613 --> 01:26:08,155
>> I'm asking directly that question.

1456
01:26:08,155 --> 01:26:11,213
We are having this problem, or in general, you

1457
01:26:11,213 --> 01:26:13,613
are having the problem?

1458
01:26:14,663 --> 01:26:18,363
>> The process is not isolated to Coconut Creek.

1459
01:26:18,363 --> 01:26:18,604
>> That's what I'm asking.

1460
01:26:18,604 --> 01:26:20,521
In Deerfield, are they having the same problem

1461
01:26:20,521 --> 01:26:24,800
getting them installed as we are in Coconut Creek?

1462
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:28,647
>> For county roads, that is the process.

1463
01:26:28,647 --> 01:26:29,564
>> So you're saying --

1464
01:26:29,564 --> 01:26:32,564
I'm just getting circles here.

1465
01:26:33,647 --> 01:26:34,772
>> That's not my intention.

1466
01:26:34,772 --> 01:26:37,172
I'll try to clarify.

1467
01:26:37,230 --> 01:26:39,730
>> 12 months to get a simple camera on a pole seems a little

1468
01:26:39,730 --> 01:26:42,381
bit -- a little long in the tooth for me to sit here and go,

1469
01:26:42,381 --> 01:26:44,772
well, understanding I built in this county --

1470
01:26:44,772 --> 01:26:46,397
I built in all the counties in Florida.

1471
01:26:46,397 --> 01:26:50,760
A year to get something so simple to be installed --

1472
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:52,529
I'm just at a loss.

1473
01:26:52,529 --> 01:26:54,600
To be honest with you, I was hoping

1474
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:56,173
that we would be full fledged by the time we started

1475
01:26:56,173 --> 01:26:59,910
this school year, since we missed last year's, then

1476
01:26:59,910 --> 01:27:02,493
at the end of the year, thinking we had 4 or 5 cameras rolling

1477
01:27:02,493 --> 01:27:04,660
that we would be in the better spot at the beginning

1478
01:27:04,660 --> 01:27:06,327
of this year when the chaos happens.

1479
01:27:06,327 --> 01:27:09,773
Yeah, I like the idea that we got 400 some odd tickets,

1480
01:27:09,773 --> 01:27:13,741
but you are sitting there saying it's dropped 90% by the survey.

1481
01:27:13,741 --> 01:27:16,449
How is that possible when ten of the cameras aren't even working?

1482
01:27:16,449 --> 01:27:20,105
So you were saying traffic has dropped 90% --

1483
01:27:20,105 --> 01:27:22,480
it doesn't make sense because not all the cameras are up.

1484
01:27:22,480 --> 01:27:26,413
How do you know that's a true statement?

1485
01:27:26,413 --> 01:27:27,993
>> We are using basic statistics, apples to apples,

1486
01:27:27,993 --> 01:27:30,410
the cameras that are active, where they were to where they

1487
01:27:30,410 --> 01:27:32,410
are now.

1488
01:27:33,230 --> 01:27:38,630
>> You're basing a 90% drop in tickets on four cameras?

1489
01:27:39,496 --> 01:27:40,642
>> Five.

1490
01:27:40,642 --> 01:27:42,600
>> So technically, that's not technically true.

1491
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:46,549
You're probably a 30% down because the other cameras aren't

1492
01:27:46,549 --> 01:27:47,829
up.

1493
01:27:47,829 --> 01:27:49,697
>> The operational cameras.

1494
01:27:49,697 --> 01:27:52,280
>> That's probably something you need to put a better footnote

1495
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:54,989
in of, the five cameras operational, in the five areas,

1496
01:27:54,989 --> 01:27:56,653
it's dropped 90%.

1497
01:27:56,653 --> 01:28:00,280
Is that what you're trying to say?

1498
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:01,405
>> That is what I'm saying.

1499
01:28:01,405 --> 01:28:03,980
We thought that was an inference --

1500
01:28:03,980 --> 01:28:06,380
>> That's a little misleading.

1501
01:28:06,703 --> 01:28:07,961
>> I disagree with that.

1502
01:28:07,961 --> 01:28:10,950
What I was going to offer up is, for the next time

1503
01:28:10,950 --> 01:28:13,506
in the interim, we can document the county process, what

1504
01:28:13,506 --> 01:28:15,839
has changed, and what we have done to try to address it.

1505
01:28:15,839 --> 01:28:18,839
I appreciate that and --

1506
01:28:20,380 --> 01:28:21,310
>> I thought when you came here tonight you were going to have

1507
01:28:21,310 --> 01:28:23,114
the details of what happened to make this delayed.

1508
01:28:23,114 --> 01:28:27,432
I guess we will wait until November to get those details.

1509
01:28:27,432 --> 01:28:33,432
>> We can certainly provide that well in advance of November.

1510
01:28:34,569 --> 01:28:36,569
>> I appreciate that.

1511
01:28:36,597 --> 01:28:38,140
>> We loved this when it happened.

1512
01:28:38,140 --> 01:28:39,380
We were very excited about it.

1513
01:28:39,380 --> 01:28:41,613
The residents trust us to make the right decision.

1514
01:28:41,613 --> 01:28:43,238
When things aren't going as advertised,

1515
01:28:43,238 --> 01:28:44,881
they don't go to you.

1516
01:28:44,881 --> 01:28:47,881
They don't go to them.

1517
01:28:49,178 --> 01:28:49,845
They come to us.

1518
01:28:49,845 --> 01:28:50,595
We have to answer.

1519
01:28:50,595 --> 01:28:53,630
We have to say, we promised you this two years ago,

1520
01:28:53,630 --> 01:28:54,698
one year ago.

1521
01:28:54,698 --> 01:28:57,773
We said in August we were going to be fully functional.

1522
01:28:57,773 --> 01:29:01,613
And now, honestly, when these other cameras come up

1523
01:29:01,613 --> 01:29:07,625
and running, I feel like we need to do like another educational

1524
01:29:07,625 --> 01:29:13,221
campaign, because there's such a lapse and a gap between when we

1525
01:29:13,221 --> 01:29:17,291
have them operate, when they start operating, whatever,

1526
01:29:17,291 --> 01:29:19,691
because it's very --

1527
01:29:20,900 --> 01:29:21,400
yeah.

1528
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:24,480
What were you going to say?

1529
01:29:24,480 --> 01:29:24,901
>> I was actually going to volunteer that.

1530
01:29:24,901 --> 01:29:25,970
You beat me to that.

1531
01:29:25,970 --> 01:29:26,720
It's a great idea.

1532
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:28,178
We're more than willing to do that.

1533
01:29:28,178 --> 01:29:29,650
We think that's an excellent idea.

1534
01:29:29,650 --> 01:29:35,500
If we are directed, we will enthusiastically do that.

1535
01:29:35,962 --> 01:29:36,765
>> Cool.

1536
01:29:36,765 --> 01:29:39,493
I I think once everything is up and running,

1537
01:29:39,493 --> 01:29:40,773
hopefully we are to the races.

1538
01:29:40,773 --> 01:29:42,441
But there have been lots of hurdles and obstacles

1539
01:29:42,441 --> 01:29:43,578
in order to get there.

1540
01:29:43,578 --> 01:29:44,733
I don't know if it's --

1541
01:29:44,733 --> 01:29:50,148
I think the vice mayor was saying, is it the county?

1542
01:29:50,148 --> 01:29:52,100
Is it us?

1543
01:29:52,100 --> 01:29:54,100
Is it you?

1544
01:29:54,147 --> 01:29:56,547
>> It's not you all.

1545
01:29:56,613 --> 01:29:56,773
>> We appreciate that.

1546
01:29:56,773 --> 01:29:58,270
I didn't think it was, because we have

1547
01:29:58,270 --> 01:29:59,437
the best staff in the world.

1548
01:29:59,437 --> 01:30:01,930
I mean, that's a fact.

1549
01:30:01,930 --> 01:30:03,959
I'm just trying to understand when

1550
01:30:03,959 --> 01:30:05,126
we will be fully functional.

1551
01:30:05,126 --> 01:30:07,535
So are we going to say, we are going

1552
01:30:07,535 --> 01:30:09,618
to be fully functional in second semester January,

1553
01:30:09,618 --> 01:30:13,664
or are we going to be fully functional in August 2027?

1554
01:30:13,664 --> 01:30:16,640
What is your forecast?

1555
01:30:19,180 --> 01:30:22,653
>> Well in advance of the beginning of the second

1556
01:30:22,653 --> 01:30:24,653
semester.

1557
01:30:27,830 --> 01:30:30,980
>> You are thinking before Christmas and Hanukkah?

1558
01:30:30,980 --> 01:30:32,896
>> Absolutely.

1559
01:30:32,896 --> 01:30:33,438
>> All right.

1560
01:30:33,438 --> 01:30:34,605
I hope that that's accurate.

1561
01:30:34,605 --> 01:30:36,941
And I hope, as we are getting ready to roll out,

1562
01:30:36,941 --> 01:30:38,983
we communicate with these schools that it's going

1563
01:30:38,983 --> 01:30:41,333
to impact and those parents and everybody participating,

1564
01:30:41,333 --> 01:30:44,853
because we love -- we were very supportive of this idea.

1565
01:30:44,853 --> 01:30:46,890
We built a partnership.

1566
01:30:46,890 --> 01:30:49,493
We want to make sure that our residents aren't

1567
01:30:49,493 --> 01:30:51,893
going to be blindsided.

1568
01:30:52,989 --> 01:30:55,348
You know what I'm saying.

1569
01:30:55,348 --> 01:30:57,348
Commissioner Rydell?

1570
01:30:58,970 --> 01:30:58,402
>> With all due respect --

1571
01:30:58,402 --> 01:30:59,902
I hate saying that because it's kind

1572
01:30:59,902 --> 01:31:02,586
of like it starts as an insult. I'm not saying it like that.

1573
01:31:02,586 --> 01:31:04,317
He's not here in this role.

1574
01:31:04,317 --> 01:31:06,435
We have Senator Geller here.

1575
01:31:06,435 --> 01:31:09,435
He's a Broward County commissioner.

1576
01:31:10,924 --> 01:31:15,466
I know we have a land use lawyer who has worked on a Main Street

1577
01:31:15,466 --> 01:31:17,693
project that we've moved mountains

1578
01:31:17,693 --> 01:31:20,333
to get a traffic light pushed forward.

1579
01:31:20,333 --> 01:31:26,173
I would hope you engage us, because we have relationships,

1580
01:31:26,173 --> 01:31:28,704
not only as a city.

1581
01:31:28,704 --> 01:31:30,833
Our police department -- if there's an issue --

1582
01:31:30,833 --> 01:31:32,693
I know you're working with our chief,

1583
01:31:32,693 --> 01:31:35,213
and Lieutenant Dingus is here.

1584
01:31:35,213 --> 01:31:38,443
Use us, because we have very strong relationships

1585
01:31:38,443 --> 01:31:40,443
with Broward County.

1586
01:31:41,660 --> 01:31:43,621
If there is an issue, we have the ability

1587
01:31:43,621 --> 01:31:46,850
as a commission to advocate.

1588
01:31:46,850 --> 01:31:48,341
I'm not putting Steve on the spot who's behind you --

1589
01:31:48,341 --> 01:31:50,226
he's not here in that role.

1590
01:31:50,226 --> 01:31:53,293
But merit will help us move mountains on anything,

1591
01:31:53,293 --> 01:31:55,589
whether it's a traffic light, an engineering issue.

1592
01:31:55,589 --> 01:31:59,189
Please use us in that respect.

1593
01:32:00,480 --> 01:32:01,730
>> We hear you loud and clear.

1594
01:32:01,730 --> 01:32:03,730
We will.

1595
01:32:03,878 --> 01:32:04,378
>> Okay.

1596
01:32:04,378 --> 01:32:05,563
Anything else from the dais?

1597
01:32:05,563 --> 01:32:06,528
All right.

1598
01:32:06,528 --> 01:32:09,480
So when are they coming back?

1599
01:32:09,480 --> 01:32:12,280
When did you say, November?

1600
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:15,330
Let's do the Halloween meeting, because we are all

1601
01:32:15,330 --> 01:32:18,930
going to be dressed up, right?

1602
01:32:19,530 --> 01:32:24,575
>> I would suggest we ask Mr. Parks to do a presentation

1603
01:32:24,575 --> 01:32:26,330
on the second Thursday of November.

1604
01:32:26,330 --> 01:32:29,330
That would be my --

1605
01:32:30,630 --> 01:32:34,173
>> It will be our only November meeting.

1606
01:32:34,173 --> 01:32:35,919
But that's not that one.

1607
01:32:35,919 --> 01:32:39,519
It's the first meeting in November.

1608
01:32:39,997 --> 01:32:42,733
>> I'm asking for the second Thursday, our only --

1609
01:32:42,733 --> 01:32:45,133
second Thursday of November.

1610
01:32:46,826 --> 01:32:50,311
>> Right, our first meeting of the month.

1611
01:32:50,311 --> 01:32:52,311
Thanks, gentlemen.

1612
01:32:52,922 --> 01:32:53,630
>> Thank you all.

1613
01:32:53,630 --> 01:32:55,630
Appreciate it.

1614
01:33:04,958 --> 01:33:06,410
>> All right.

1615
01:33:06,410 --> 01:33:10,193
So we will now have input from the public on Nonagenda

1616
01:33:10,193 --> 01:33:11,758
or consent agenda items.

1617
01:33:11,758 --> 01:33:14,133
I remind everyone wishing to speak that all comments must

1618
01:33:14,133 --> 01:33:15,175
pertain to city business.

1619
01:33:15,175 --> 01:33:17,235
Respect and proper decorum will be maintained.

1620
01:33:17,235 --> 01:33:19,693
Behavior that disrupts the orderly conduct of this meeting,

1621
01:33:19,693 --> 01:33:22,713
such as clapping, shouting, booing, and cheering,

1622
01:33:22,713 --> 01:33:23,953
is not permitted.

1623
01:33:23,953 --> 01:33:26,453
Any person who violates the rules will be subject to removal

1624
01:33:26,453 --> 01:33:27,501
from the commission chambers.

1625
01:33:27,501 --> 01:33:29,973
As a reminder, all comments must pertain to city business.

1626
01:33:29,973 --> 01:33:32,693
When you come forward to speak, please unmute the microphone

1627
01:33:32,693 --> 01:33:37,177
and state your name and address clearly for the record,

1628
01:33:37,177 --> 01:33:39,373
and mute the microphone when you are done speaking.

1629
01:33:39,373 --> 01:33:43,573
City clerk, who have we got tonight?

1630
01:33:44,197 --> 01:33:46,572
>> No one has signed in to speak on our public input this

1631
01:33:46,572 --> 01:33:48,572
evening, mayor.

1632
01:33:49,130 --> 01:33:50,545
>> Thank you, sir.

1633
01:33:50,545 --> 01:33:53,153
All right, is there anyone who would

1634
01:33:53,153 --> 01:33:57,560
like to provide input on nonagenda or consent agenda

1635
01:33:57,560 --> 01:33:58,470
items?

1636
01:33:58,470 --> 01:33:59,231
Hello, sir.

1637
01:33:59,231 --> 01:34:01,231
Come on down.

1638
01:34:02,733 --> 01:34:08,733
Come on down, and please state your name, your address.

1639
01:34:09,671 --> 01:34:12,710
>> Joe, 2401 Antigua Circle, Whitmore.

1640
01:34:12,169 --> 01:34:15,373
I wasn't planning on coming up here.

1641
01:34:15,373 --> 01:34:18,203
It's my first time really sitting in.

1642
01:34:18,203 --> 01:34:20,395
Really a lot of wonderful ideas.

1643
01:34:20,395 --> 01:34:24,471
I like the way you guys work.

1644
01:34:24,471 --> 01:34:27,527
Thank you all -- and neighbors.

1645
01:34:27,527 --> 01:34:30,578
I wear hearing aids, so maybe I missed something.

1646
01:34:30,578 --> 01:34:34,663
But you were talking about education and the problem --

1647
01:34:34,663 --> 01:34:37,659
my wife happens to be a retired teacher.

1648
01:34:37,659 --> 01:34:39,806
I know pay was an issue.

1649
01:34:39,806 --> 01:34:44,173
Maybe you guys are already doing this, but I grew up in Philly,

1650
01:34:44,173 --> 01:34:46,710
and we had a work program.

1651
01:34:46,710 --> 01:34:49,309
So in high school, if you were majoring

1652
01:34:49,309 --> 01:34:53,533
in auto mechanics or accounting or whatever it was,

1653
01:34:53,533 --> 01:34:58,560
you could take half the day, a certain amount of time

1654
01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:05,325
three days a week, get a job, not get paid, but get a credit.

1655
01:35:05,325 --> 01:35:05,945
Just an idea.

1656
01:35:05,945 --> 01:35:08,577
It's not why I came here, but listening to everything,

1657
01:35:08,577 --> 01:35:12,177
I thought it might be appropriate.

1658
01:35:13,470 --> 01:35:13,922
>> Thank you so much.

1659
01:35:13,922 --> 01:35:14,633
We appreciate it.

1660
01:35:14,633 --> 01:35:17,630
I wish you would have been here when the superintendent --

1661
01:35:17,630 --> 01:35:20,630
said that to the superintendent.

1662
01:35:21,481 --> 01:35:23,881
>> Well, it wasn't --

1663
01:35:24,395 --> 01:35:24,978
>> No problem.

1664
01:35:24,978 --> 01:35:25,853
Thank you for coming.

1665
01:35:25,853 --> 01:35:28,853
All right, come on down.

1666
01:35:30,430 --> 01:35:34,293
>> I thought I would respond just briefly on the school

1667
01:35:34,293 --> 01:35:36,293
stuff.

1668
01:35:37,614 --> 01:35:40,140
>> Name and address, please.

1669
01:35:40,964 --> 01:35:45,164
>> I'm Broward County Commissioner Steve Geller --

1670
01:35:46,977 --> 01:35:49,930
I'm Senator Steve Geller, currently Broward County

1671
01:35:49,930 --> 01:35:51,218
commissioner, and I'm speaking now only in response

1672
01:35:51,218 --> 01:35:52,988
to the issue that you raised, so I'm

1673
01:35:52,988 --> 01:35:54,613
wearing my county commissioner hat now,

1674
01:35:54,613 --> 01:35:57,538
which is why I'm speaking now instead of later on this.

1675
01:35:57,538 --> 01:36:01,793
I was the sponsor at Broward County of the ordinance that

1676
01:36:01,793 --> 01:36:03,885
created the school cameras.

1677
01:36:03,885 --> 01:36:06,733
I agree with you all.

1678
01:36:06,733 --> 01:36:11,533
It indicated to us also that we were

1679
01:36:14,830 --> 01:36:15,833
supposed to have everything up and running

1680
01:36:15,833 --> 01:36:17,416
by the time school started.

1681
01:36:17,416 --> 01:36:19,301
I had heard no complaints.

1682
01:36:19,301 --> 01:36:24,853
I know I drive either Sheridan Street or Nob Hill every day

1683
01:36:24,853 --> 01:36:27,853
on my way to work.

1684
01:36:29,281 --> 01:36:31,281
I will check.

1685
01:36:31,373 --> 01:36:32,573
Nobody has contacted me.

1686
01:36:32,573 --> 01:36:39,101
I will check and report back, I guess, to you, Mr. Mayor,

1687
01:36:39,101 --> 01:36:40,473
or through your city manager.

1688
01:36:40,473 --> 01:36:41,539
I will check tomorrow.

1689
01:36:41,539 --> 01:36:46,976
But I will tell you, wearing my other hat, as a zoning and land

1690
01:36:46,976 --> 01:36:48,748
use lawyer, I'm frequently frustrated

1691
01:36:48,748 --> 01:36:51,130
by how long it takes to get permits

1692
01:36:51,130 --> 01:36:52,903
through cities and counties.

1693
01:36:52,903 --> 01:36:58,903
I've instructed the county -- it's one of the biggest

1694
01:36:59,660 --> 01:37:02,208
complaints that I get as an elected official since the 1980s

1695
01:37:02,208 --> 01:37:06,617
has always been, it takes too long to get anything through

1696
01:37:06,617 --> 01:37:07,117
government.

1697
01:37:07,117 --> 01:37:09,183
I know you have heard the same thing.

1698
01:37:09,183 --> 01:37:10,775
I have heard the same thing.

1699
01:37:10,775 --> 01:37:14,943
I have instructed our county staff to try and expedite them.

1700
01:37:14,943 --> 01:37:17,853
I guarantee you that you have done the same thing here

1701
01:37:17,853 --> 01:37:19,213
in the city.

1702
01:37:19,213 --> 01:37:21,789
And it still frustrates people how long

1703
01:37:21,789 --> 01:37:24,130
it takes to get permits.

1704
01:37:24,130 --> 01:37:27,439
If there's any questions, I'm happy to answer them.

1705
01:37:27,439 --> 01:37:29,450
If not, you will see me again in 15 minutes

1706
01:37:29,450 --> 01:37:31,850
wearing a different hat.

1707
01:37:32,275 --> 01:37:34,275
Anything?

1708
01:37:34,530 --> 01:37:35,776
>> Thank you, sir.

1709
01:37:35,776 --> 01:37:37,776
15 minutes is ambitious.

1710
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:42,880
>> I was hopeful.

1711
01:37:43,198 --> 01:37:43,990
>> But we will see.

1712
01:37:43,990 --> 01:37:44,553
We'll see.

1713
01:37:44,553 --> 01:37:46,866
All right, is there anybody else who

1714
01:37:46,866 --> 01:37:51,930
would like to provide input on Nonagenda or consent items?

1715
01:37:51,930 --> 01:37:52,613
Thank you.

1716
01:37:52,613 --> 01:37:55,130
Consent agenda items 11 through 14,

1717
01:37:55,730 --> 01:38:00,213
a motion to cancel the November 2006 and December regular City

1718
01:38:00,213 --> 01:38:01,530
Commission meetings.

1719

1730
01:38:34,530 --> 01:38:37,533
to approve a fuel charge adjustment to the contracted

1731
01:38:37,533 --> 01:38:41,133
hourly rate pursuant to IFB 11 --

1732

a resolution authorizing the City manager or designee

electric company for additional electrical work for the City

1735
01:38:59,733 --> 01:39:01,150
Hall Lighting improvement project.

1736
01:39:01,150 --> 01:39:05,892
Are there any items the Commission wishes to pull?

1737
01:39:05,892 --> 01:39:07,892
>> Pull 11.

1738
01:39:09,527 --> 01:39:11,527
>> Pull 14.

1739
01:39:13,464 --> 01:39:15,864
>> We are pulling 11 --

1740
01:39:16,964 --> 01:39:20,460
>> And move consent without those items.

1741
01:39:20,460 --> 01:39:22,338
>> We are pulling 11 and 14, and we are having a motion

1742
01:39:22,338 --> 01:39:27,138
and second by Commissioner Rydell and Commissioner Welch

1743
01:39:28,307 --> 01:39:32,243
to approve the remaining consent items 12 and 13.

1744
01:39:32,243 --> 01:39:36,443
Clerk, please call the role for 12 and 13.

1745
01:39:39,288 --> 01:39:41,288
>> (Calling roll)

1746
01:39:45,782 --> 01:39:51,471
>> Okay, we are now going to hear from Commissioner Rydell

1747
01:39:51,471 --> 01:39:53,471
on pulling number 11.

1748
01:39:55,481 --> 01:39:55,895
>> I have no problem canceling the meetings,

1749
01:39:55,895 --> 01:39:58,593
but this is one of those, based on how our charter reads,

1750
01:39:58,593 --> 01:40:00,757
meetings traditionally fall in Thanksgiving week and Christmas

1751
01:40:00,757 --> 01:40:01,257
week.

1752
01:40:01,257 --> 01:40:03,524
I would direct our city manager that if there are any

1753
01:40:03,524 --> 01:40:05,850
outstanding items or issues that need to be addressed before

1754
01:40:05,850 --> 01:40:06,750
the end of the year --

1755
01:40:06,750 --> 01:40:09,295
I know in previous years, we had an item that we had to have

1756
01:40:09,295 --> 01:40:10,753
a special meeting for -- obviously,

1757
01:40:10,753 --> 01:40:12,441
I know we all support it.

1758
01:40:12,441 --> 01:40:13,976
We will say it if there needs to be

1759
01:40:13,976 --> 01:40:15,809
a special meeting the first week of December

1760
01:40:15,809 --> 01:40:18,186
or the third week of November regarding

1761
01:40:18,186 --> 01:40:24,930
outstanding fiscal year items, I'm available for any of that.

1762
01:40:24,930 --> 01:40:26,644
That's the only thing I wanted to say.

1763
01:40:26,644 --> 01:40:28,644
Thank you, mayor.

1764
01:40:28,747 --> 01:40:29,247
>> Super.

1765
01:40:29,247 --> 01:40:30,133
I think the whole commission is on board with that.

1766
01:40:30,133 --> 01:40:32,953
Whenever you need to meet with us, we will be there.

1767
01:40:32,953 --> 01:40:35,353
Number 14, to Commissioner Welch?

1768
01:40:38,982 --> 01:40:41,382
Motion to second number 11?

1769
01:40:44,373 --> 01:40:46,373
Now number 14?

1770
01:40:47,643 --> 01:40:50,430
Call the roll for 11.

1771
01:40:52,925 --> 01:40:54,925
Thank you.

1772
01:40:55,275 --> 01:40:57,275
>> (Calling roll)

1773
01:41:00,410 --> 01:41:04,610
>> All right, Commissioner Welch, what you got?

1774
01:41:05,435 --> 01:41:06,209
Oh, you pulled it.

1775
01:41:06,209 --> 01:41:08,209
I'm sorry.

1776
01:41:11,306 --> 01:41:12,306
Apologies.

1777
01:41:12,306 --> 01:41:14,306
>> No worries.

1778
01:41:14,630 --> 01:41:16,630
>> Commissioner Railey?

1779
01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:20,130
>> I'm sorry, city manager, would you please explain why

1780
01:41:20,130 --> 01:41:25,213
there is a work change order, when we are talking about

1781
01:41:25,213 --> 01:41:27,336
adjusting the lights that are too bright?

1782
01:41:27,336 --> 01:41:31,292
I was under the impression that, when I read the original

1783
01:41:31,292 --> 01:41:36,920
contract, that they would be here to --

1784
01:41:36,990 --> 01:41:39,181
I'm sorry -- that it was in their hands.

1785
01:41:39,181 --> 01:41:40,306
They are the professionals.

1786
01:41:40,306 --> 01:41:42,610
They know exactly what we needed,

1787
01:41:42,610 --> 01:41:43,741
what the lighting situation is.

1788
01:41:43,741 --> 01:41:45,365
It seems that this work change order

1789
01:41:45,365 --> 01:41:52,565
is because the lights are too bright, and we need dimmers now.

1790
01:41:52,797 --> 01:41:56,513
>> We did not do an initial photometric study to determine

1791
01:41:56,513 --> 01:42:00,755
the exact wattage of the bulbs, what we were going to do in.

1792
01:42:00,755 --> 01:42:02,685
That's a very expensive option.

1793
01:42:02,685 --> 01:42:07,853
We did a direct replacement is what we did.

1794
01:42:07,853 --> 01:42:11,130
As fixtures degrade, they also lose a little bit

1795
01:42:11,130 --> 01:42:11,923
of their brightness.

1796
01:42:11,923 --> 01:42:16,123
When we installed the new LED fixtures,

1797
01:42:17,475 --> 01:42:20,376
they are a little brighter.

1798
01:42:20,376 --> 01:42:21,661
There's some settings on them.

1799
01:42:21,661 --> 01:42:24,610
Some can be adjusted.

1800
01:42:24,933 --> 01:42:28,797
Also, in some parts of the open office area,

1801
01:42:28,797 --> 01:42:31,266
some people actually kept their lights off.

1802
01:42:31,266 --> 01:42:35,466
We did an in-house study with Kilowatt.

1803
01:42:37,610 --> 01:42:41,526
We did not hire an engineering firm

1804
01:42:41,526 --> 01:42:43,193
to do this because it was a lot cheaper.

1805
01:42:43,193 --> 01:42:45,193
We were able to survey the existing lights.

1806
01:42:45,193 --> 01:42:49,856
Along the windows, because of the daylight coming in calm

1807
01:42:49,856 --> 01:42:51,648
at the average light is a little too bright

1808
01:42:51,648 --> 01:42:54,143
than what's recommended for those tasks.

1809
01:42:54,143 --> 01:42:57,733
Those are the areas we are installing the dimmers.

1810
01:42:57,733 --> 01:43:00,453
There was also a request from the staff --

1811
01:43:00,453 --> 01:43:05,253
because we replaced lights in their current location .

1812
01:43:06,453 --> 01:43:10,333
There was one storage space, and they requested some more

1813
01:43:10,333 --> 01:43:12,733
lightings, because the (Indiscernible),

1814
01:43:14,138 --> 01:43:16,173
depending on their position, they block lights.

1815
01:43:16,173 --> 01:43:17,573
They're very tall.

1816
01:43:17,573 --> 01:43:20,233
That, we didn't know about ahead of time,

1817
01:43:20,233 --> 01:43:21,613
so that's one of the changes.

1818
01:43:21,613 --> 01:43:25,213
There's another dimmer issue compatibility --

1819
01:43:26,475 --> 01:43:29,441
the greeting area, the main entrance where you go in.

1820
01:43:29,441 --> 01:43:34,187
We are having to change out and put a dimmer there in.

1821
01:43:34,187 --> 01:43:37,414
>> So the original price reflected that?

1822
01:43:37,414 --> 01:43:38,613
>> The original price was just based on a direct replacement.

1823
01:43:38,613 --> 01:43:40,555
We actually budgeted a lot more for this job.

1824
01:43:40,555 --> 01:43:42,955
I think we budgeted $110,000.

1825
01:43:43,414 --> 01:43:48,594
So going in a step fashion, if we need to make changes,

1826
01:43:48,594 --> 01:43:51,594
we still come out ahead.

1827
01:43:52,180 --> 01:43:52,722
>> Thank you.

1828
01:43:52,722 --> 01:43:55,122
That answers my questions.

1829
01:44:01,470 --> 01:44:03,870
>> Ready to move this?

1830
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:06,880
>> Move it.

1831
01:44:06,448 --> 01:44:08,448
>> Second.

1832
01:44:09,955 --> 01:44:12,955
>> Please call the role for 14.

1833
01:44:14,399 --> 01:44:16,399
>> (Calling roll)

1834
01:44:19,721 --> 01:44:22,660
>> Okay, to our regular agenda.

1835
01:44:22,660 --> 01:44:25,666
Resolution 2026-138, resolution authorizing the mayor

1836
01:44:27,805 --> 01:44:33,805
or designee to execute the first agreement with 47 Johnson Road

1837
01:44:34,451 --> 01:44:38,651
LLC, located at 47 Johnson Road suite eight,

1838
01:44:38,813 --> 01:44:43,130
Coconut Creek Florida, within the Lyons Tech.

1839
01:44:53,610 --> 01:44:55,610
Finance Department,

1840
01:44:57,583 --> 01:44:58,625
>> Good evening everyone.

1841
01:44:58,625 --> 01:45:01,293
This is the First Amendment to the city's lease for the fire,

1842
01:45:01,293 --> 01:45:04,749
rescue Administration office is located at 4701 Johnson Road.

1843
01:45:04,749 --> 01:45:06,381
As you may recall comment the city

1844
01:45:06,381 --> 01:45:10,325
has occupied this space since 2022 as a temporary office

1845
01:45:10,325 --> 01:45:13,173
space for the fire Rescue Administration

1846
01:45:13,173 --> 01:45:16,285
while we move forward with building the new fire

1847
01:45:16,285 --> 01:45:17,770
station 113.

1848
01:45:17,770 --> 01:45:20,950
The current lease expires September 30th of 2027,

1849
01:45:20,950 --> 01:45:24,961
and it does include an option for an additional five year

1850
01:45:24,961 --> 01:45:25,461
term.

1851
01:45:25,461 --> 01:45:28,186
As part of the negotiations with the landlord,

1852
01:45:28,186 --> 01:45:33,446
we were able to extend the term from 60 months to 64 months with

1853
01:45:33,446 --> 01:45:37,890
the first four months of the extension provided at --

1854
01:45:37,890 --> 01:45:41,389
the extension would therefore run from October 1st 2027

1855
01:45:41,389 --> 01:45:46,260
through January of -- while we anticipate fire administration

1856
01:45:46,260 --> 01:45:48,260
moving into the new fire facility before the end

1857
01:45:48,260 --> 01:45:50,873
of the term, the additional time provides flexibility

1858
01:45:50,873 --> 01:45:54,533
for the city as we move forward with the police department

1859
01:45:54,533 --> 01:45:55,326
improvements.

1860
01:45:55,326 --> 01:45:57,619
During those planned improvements,

1861
01:45:57,619 --> 01:45:59,713
we anticipate using this space temporarily

1862
01:45:59,713 --> 01:46:05,113
for the police department and for any staff accommodations.

1863
01:46:05,123 --> 01:46:07,573
Maintaining the space provides an important part

1864
01:46:07,573 --> 01:46:11,679
of that transition, it helps us minimize disruption

1865
01:46:11,679 --> 01:46:14,873
while renovations for both projects are underway.

1866
01:46:14,873 --> 01:46:16,983
Frank, the commercial real estate

1867
01:46:16,983 --> 01:46:20,513
broker who assisted with this lease,

1868
01:46:20,513 --> 01:46:22,993
had hoped to attend tonight, but unfortunately

1869
01:46:22,993 --> 01:46:26,339
was unable to do so, so he does send his regards.

1870
01:46:26,339 --> 01:46:29,339
We also looked at --

1871
01:46:29,853 --> 01:46:32,933
I'm sorry, we looked at the comparable office leases

1872
01:46:32,933 --> 01:46:35,485
within the area and found that the proposed

1873
01:46:35,485 --> 01:46:38,333
lease rate that we have is consistent with the market.

1874
01:46:38,333 --> 01:46:41,455
So staff does recommend approving this First Amendment,

1875
01:46:41,455 --> 01:46:44,133
and I'm happy to answer any questions you have.

1876
01:46:44,133 --> 01:46:46,133
Thank you.

1877
01:46:48,114 --> 01:46:49,906
>> Doesn't look like we have any questions.

1878
01:46:49,906 --> 01:46:52,673
City Clerk, is there any members of the public

1879
01:46:52,673 --> 01:46:56,273
that have signed up to speak?

1880
01:46:56,531 --> 01:46:58,831
>> Not at this time.

1881
01:46:58,831 --> 01:46:59,966
>> Is there anyone else who is present who would like to speak?

1882
01:46:59,966 --> 01:47:00,479
Okay.

1883
01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:03,733
If there are no further questions or comments,

1884
01:47:03,733 --> 01:47:07,333
please call the roll for item 15.

1885
01:47:09,970 --> 01:47:11,970
>> Move it.

1886
01:47:11,214 --> 01:47:12,597
>> Second.

1887
01:47:12,597 --> 01:47:17,397
>> We already did the motion and the second.

1888
01:47:20,602 --> 01:47:22,602
>> (Calling roll)

1889
01:47:30,722 --> 01:47:32,312
>> Thank you.

1890
01:47:32,312 --> 01:47:36,600
A resolution approving the Martinique Village II-C

1891
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,518
Condominium association application

1892
01:47:37,518 --> 01:47:39,706
for matching grant funds from the Neighborhood Enhancement

1893
01:47:39,706 --> 01:47:40,353
Grant program.

1894
01:47:40,353 --> 01:47:43,953
Is there a motion to second?

1895
01:47:45,931 --> 01:47:47,338
>> Second.

1896
01:47:47,338 --> 01:47:50,338
>> You heard that, city manager?

1897
01:47:50,506 --> 01:47:53,506
Yes, Commissioner, you have something?

1898
01:47:56,112 --> 01:47:56,612
>> Yes.

1899
01:47:56,612 --> 01:47:59,195
Because of my relationship with the Wynmoor community Council,

1900
01:47:59,195 --> 01:48:04,697
I would like to recuse myself from the next three items,

1901
01:48:04,697 --> 01:48:05,847
actually.

1902
01:48:05,847 --> 01:48:07,847
>> Okay, super.

1903
01:48:09,810 --> 01:48:12,621
>> You won't forget me outside, right?

1904
01:48:12,621 --> 01:48:13,413
>> No, we will not.

1905
01:48:13,413 --> 01:48:17,130
You could just -- all right.

1906
01:48:21,601 --> 01:48:22,268
>> Good evening.

1907
01:48:22,268 --> 01:48:24,106
Dan Nelson, grants administrator.

1908
01:48:24,106 --> 01:48:28,906
This resolution is associated with the Martinique II-C.

1909
01:48:33,925 --> 01:48:36,933
The Association is requesting for a security enhancement

1910
01:48:36,933 --> 01:48:38,323
project.

1911
01:48:38,323 --> 01:48:43,723
The applicant has committed to maintain the security system.

1912
01:48:43,873 --> 01:48:46,990
This program satisfies the program guidelines.

1913
01:48:46,990 --> 01:48:52,990
I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have.

1914
01:48:56,563 --> 01:48:57,348
>> Nothing?

1915
01:48:57,348 --> 01:48:57,848
Okay.

1916
01:48:57,848 --> 01:49:03,698
Any from the public who would like to speak on this item?

1917
01:49:03,698 --> 01:49:06,698
>> None at this time, Mayor.

1918
01:49:07,865 --> 01:49:10,265
>> Please call the roll.

1919
01:49:10,617 --> 01:49:12,617
>> (Calling roll)

1920
01:49:13,770 --> 01:49:15,770
>> Resolution 2026 -- congratulations.

1921
01:49:18,499 --> 01:49:19,530
They're here.

1922
01:49:19,530 --> 01:49:20,103
There we are.

1923
01:49:20,103 --> 01:49:24,903
Usually Commissioner Rydell -- he always says, hey,

1924
01:49:24,956 --> 01:49:26,443
who's here from this?

1925
01:49:26,443 --> 01:49:28,711
But you didn't today.

1926
01:49:28,711 --> 01:49:29,222
Interesting.

1927
01:49:29,222 --> 01:49:32,222
Resolution 2026-134, a resolution approving

1928
01:49:34,716 --> 01:49:37,133
the Condominium Association application for matching grant

1929
01:49:37,133 --> 01:49:38,813
funds from the Neighborhood Enhancement Grant program

for security enhancement.

1931
01:49:39,855 --> 01:49:41,233
And they are here?

1932
01:49:41,233 --> 01:49:42,633
All right.

1933
01:49:42,633 --> 01:49:48,330
Is there a motion and a second to approve?

1934
01:49:48,149 --> 01:49:52,949
Commissioner Welch and seconded by Vice Mayor Brodie.

1935
01:49:59,436 --> 01:50:02,985
>> Total cost of that project is --

1936
01:50:02,985 --> 01:50:04,879
Joe, the building director, is here.

1937
01:50:04,879 --> 01:50:11,479
If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

1938
01:50:11,807 --> 01:50:14,390
>> We don't have any questions, but he wants to say something.

1939
01:50:14,390 --> 01:50:16,790
Just tap the button.

1940
01:50:17,827 --> 01:50:19,827
There you go.

1941
01:50:21,981 --> 01:50:23,659
>> I just like to say, thank you all.

1942
01:50:23,659 --> 01:50:26,729
I don't have the proper etiquette

1943
01:50:26,729 --> 01:50:30,473
to do this public speaking, but I'd just

1944
01:50:30,473 --> 01:50:34,653
like to say, thank you, because we'd like to improve

1945
01:50:34,653 --> 01:50:37,653
and keep our community safe.

1946
01:50:43,293 --> 01:50:46,621
If you guys make it happen by approving it,

1947
01:50:46,621 --> 01:50:49,863
then we are chipping in, painting, all kinds of work

1948
01:50:49,863 --> 01:50:50,403
over there.

1949
01:50:50,403 --> 01:50:52,466
We would like to see the values go up

1950
01:50:52,466 --> 01:50:55,130
and pay some taxes because I really

1951
01:50:55,130 --> 01:51:01,759
think that the city of Coconut Creek is on the upward trend.

1952
01:51:01,759 --> 01:51:05,959
I lived in Boca before I retired,

1953
01:51:06,467 --> 01:51:09,997
and I worked my whole life to come to Coconut Creek.

1954
01:51:09,997 --> 01:51:12,997
I really enjoy living here.

1955
01:51:13,237 --> 01:51:15,770
I enjoy Wynmoor.

1956
01:51:15,770 --> 01:51:19,277
I've been in South Florida for 30 years,

1957
01:51:20,133 --> 01:51:24,373
so this is where I've worked my whole life to be.

1958
01:51:24,373 --> 01:51:25,199
Thank you.

1959
01:51:25,199 --> 01:51:28,799
Thank you for making it nice.

1960
01:51:31,344 --> 01:51:33,141
>> You got it.

1961
01:51:33,141 --> 01:51:34,490
You hear that?

1962
01:51:34,490 --> 01:51:37,490
He said Wynmoor is great.

1963
01:51:37,564 --> 01:51:38,606
>> I hope she heard that.

1964
01:51:38,606 --> 01:51:40,606
She knows it.

1965
01:51:41,690 --> 01:51:42,610
>> All right.

1966
01:51:42,610 --> 01:51:45,610
Let's call the roll, please.

1967
01:51:50,566 --> 01:51:52,153
>> (Calling roll)

1968
01:51:52,153 --> 01:51:55,493
>> Resolution 2026-135, a resolution approving --

1969
01:51:55,493 --> 01:51:56,646
congratulations.

1970
01:51:56,646 --> 01:51:57,313
Congratulations.

1971
01:51:57,313 --> 01:52:03,913
You got it -- a resolution improving the Martinique II-E --

1972
01:52:05,101 --> 01:52:09,301
is there a motion and a second?

1973
01:52:11,340 --> 01:52:13,500
>> Move it.

1974
01:52:13,500 --> 01:52:18,405
>> Moved by Commissioner Welch, seconded by vice mayor Brodie.

1975
01:52:19,311 --> 01:52:20,956
Are you here today?

1976
01:52:20,956 --> 01:52:21,539
I didn't know.

1977
01:52:21,539 --> 01:52:23,393
I didn't know who was.

1978
01:52:23,393 --> 01:52:24,974
Cool.

1979
01:52:24,974 --> 01:52:26,664
Dan?

1980
01:52:26,664 --> 01:52:28,293
>> Thank you.

1981
01:52:28,293 --> 01:52:32,493
The association is requesting $8,978 for a security

1982
01:52:32,973 --> 01:52:34,660
enhancement project.

1983
01:52:34,660 --> 01:52:37,573
This project is eligible and satisfies all the requirements

1984
01:52:37,573 --> 01:52:39,335
established in the program guidelines.

1985
01:52:39,335 --> 01:52:45,335
I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

1986
01:52:46,623 --> 01:52:48,581
>> Just briefly, at the end of the three items,

1987
01:52:48,581 --> 01:52:50,973
could you just tell us, assuming this item passes,

1988
01:52:50,973 --> 01:52:53,606
can you give us the remaining balance in the community

1989
01:52:53,606 --> 01:52:56,600
Enhancement Grant fund, please?

1990
01:52:58,994 --> 01:52:59,577
>> Absolutely.

1991
01:52:59,577 --> 01:53:03,187
If this passes, there will be about $51,000 remaining.

1992
01:53:03,187 --> 01:53:07,500
And there are two applications on my desk that will be

1993
01:53:07,500 --> 01:53:10,930
presented on the September 10th City Commission meeting.

1994
01:53:10,930 --> 01:53:14,917
One is for tall trees, and the other is for Caymen.

1995
01:53:14,917 --> 01:53:18,941
Cayman is a lighting enhancement project, energy efficiency.

1996
01:53:18,941 --> 01:53:20,893
Tall trees it's a landscaping enhancement

1997
01:53:20,893 --> 01:53:24,493
which will improve the landscape buffer.

1998
01:53:25,140 --> 01:53:26,889
>> Hypothetically, assuming those items pass,

1999
01:53:26,889 --> 01:53:27,782
what are the --

2000
01:53:27,782 --> 01:53:29,199
I'm just wondering what our budget

2001
01:53:29,199 --> 01:53:31,843
is going to end with that, because I think

2002
01:53:31,843 --> 01:53:34,853
this is the first year we've actually kind of got there,

2003
01:53:34,853 --> 01:53:35,956
which is exciting.

2004
01:53:35,956 --> 01:53:40,156
Just put that on for me, please.

2005
01:53:41,722 --> 01:53:44,389
>> If the next two neighborhood enhancement grants are approved,

2006
01:53:44,389 --> 01:53:47,210
there will be about $40,000 remaining in the budget.

2007
01:53:47,210 --> 01:53:50,733
We will have spent about $155,000 this year

2008
01:53:50,733 --> 01:53:52,733
on neighborhood enhancements.

2009
01:53:55,231 --> 01:53:56,230
>> Okay, thank you.

2010
01:53:56,230 --> 01:53:57,133
I appreciate it.

2011
01:53:57,133 --> 01:53:59,241
We talk about this budget --

2012
01:53:59,241 --> 01:54:01,930
I think it's an important part, that we

2013
01:54:01,930 --> 01:54:04,693
continue to keep up with it.

2014
01:54:05,310 --> 01:54:05,256
>> Thank you, Commissioner.

2015
01:54:05,256 --> 01:54:06,341
Is there anybody from the public who would

2016
01:54:06,341 --> 01:54:08,500
like to speak on this item?

2017
01:54:08,500 --> 01:54:09,261
All right.

2018
01:54:09,261 --> 01:54:11,661
Please call the roll.

2019
01:54:14,120 --> 01:54:16,120
>> (Calling roll)

2020
01:54:20,551 --> 01:54:21,343
>> Congratulations.

2021
01:54:21,343 --> 01:54:22,645
You are very welcome.

2022
01:54:22,645 --> 01:54:26,245
We need to retrieve Commissioner Railey.

2023
01:54:42,573 --> 01:54:43,875
Here we go.

2024
01:54:43,875 --> 01:54:48,750
We are now -- agenda items 19 through 21.

2025
01:54:48,774 --> 01:54:51,943
We are now going to consider several Quasi-judicial items.

2026
01:54:51,943 --> 01:54:53,943
Will the City Attorney please explain the city's

2027
01:54:53,943 --> 01:54:55,943
quasi judicial procedures?

2028
01:54:58,331 --> 01:54:59,493
>> First I want to remind everyone to please silence

2029
01:54:59,493 --> 01:55:00,697
your mobile devices.

2030
01:55:00,697 --> 01:55:02,405
Florida courts have determined that there

2031
01:55:02,405 --> 01:55:04,133
are certain types of matters, including

2032
01:55:04,133 --> 01:55:07,437
agenda items 19, 20, and 21 on tonight's agenda

2033
01:55:07,437 --> 01:55:09,885
that are to be treated differently than other items

2034
01:55:09,885 --> 01:55:11,573
considered by the Commission.

2035
01:55:11,573 --> 01:55:13,973
These quasi judicial applications,

2036
01:55:14,159 --> 01:55:16,613
the Commission is applying existing rules and policies

2037
01:55:16,613 --> 01:55:18,621
to a factual situation and is therefore

2038
01:55:18,621 --> 01:55:20,932
acting like a judge and jury doing

2039
01:55:20,932 --> 01:55:23,760
a trial held in the courtroom.

2040
01:55:23,760 --> 01:55:24,819
In such cases, the courts have decided

2041
01:55:24,819 --> 01:55:27,743
that due process and fundamental fairness

2042
01:55:27,743 --> 01:55:31,943
require that more formal procedures be followed.

2043
01:55:36,573 --> 01:55:38,643
Planning and zoning board recommendation

2044
01:55:38,643 --> 01:55:41,226
must be presented at the public hearing, and the deliberations

2045
01:55:41,226 --> 01:55:42,495
of the City Commission.

2046
01:55:42,495 --> 01:55:45,173
The quasi judicial procedures require that the Commission

2047
01:55:45,173 --> 01:55:47,193
consider the evidence presented to it

2048
01:55:47,193 --> 01:55:49,733
and base their decision on the applicable law

2049
01:55:49,733 --> 01:55:52,593
and primarily on credible evidence presented,

2050
01:55:52,593 --> 01:55:55,839
whether by staff, the applicant, or members of the public.

2051
01:55:55,839 --> 01:55:57,882
In a quasi judicial proceeding, the Commission

2052
01:55:57,882 --> 01:56:00,299
is not allowed to take into consideration public sentiment

2053
01:56:00,299 --> 01:56:03,930
or the popularity of a particular development

2054
01:56:03,930 --> 01:56:04,428
proposal or application.

2055
01:56:04,428 --> 01:56:08,350
The City Commission may only consider substantial evidence.

2056
01:56:08,350 --> 01:56:09,618
This means testimony or other evidence

2057
01:56:09,618 --> 01:56:12,118
that a reasonable mind would accept as credible and adequate

2058
01:56:12,118 --> 01:56:13,286
to support a conclusion.

2059
01:56:13,286 --> 01:56:15,236
Florida courts have made it clear

2060
01:56:15,236 --> 01:56:17,153
that mere generalized statements of opposition

2061
01:56:17,153 --> 01:56:20,113
are to be disregarded, but fact based testimony

2062
01:56:20,113 --> 01:56:21,873
may be considered substantial evidence.

2063
01:56:21,873 --> 01:56:24,653
This can include eyewitness observation, testimony

2064
01:56:24,653 --> 01:56:27,313
about relevant facts and documentary evidence,

2065
01:56:27,313 --> 01:56:29,837
including photographs, aerials, and maps.

2066
01:56:29,837 --> 01:56:32,803
People who want to participate in a quasi judicial hearing can

2067
01:56:32,803 --> 01:56:40,603
testify as to factual matters in any element of the case that --

2068
01:56:44,156 --> 01:56:50,940
their testimony will be given -- their Testimony will be

2069
01:56:50,940 --> 01:56:52,261
considered in, provided their testimony is backed up

2070
01:56:52,261 --> 01:56:54,838
by established facts, studies, or evidence and is not

2071
01:56:54,838 --> 01:56:55,338
conjecture.

2072
01:56:55,338 --> 01:56:56,945
The quasi judicial hearing process

2073
01:56:56,945 --> 01:56:58,673
is not a popularity contest.

2074
01:56:58,673 --> 01:57:00,539
The strict rules of evidence do not

2075
01:57:00,539 --> 01:57:02,581
apply during the public hearing, but any comments

2076
01:57:02,581 --> 01:57:04,605
must be relevant to the agenda item.

2077
01:57:04,605 --> 01:57:07,633
Proper decorum is required and will be maintained at all times.

2078
01:57:07,633 --> 01:57:11,430
Please refrain from vocal, cheering, or applause.

2079
01:57:11,430 --> 01:57:13,130
Everyone who seeks to speak on an item

2080
01:57:13,130 --> 01:57:14,725
will be given an opportunity to speak.

2081
01:57:14,725 --> 01:57:16,149
If you intend to provide testimony

2082
01:57:16,149 --> 01:57:19,198
as to any of the applications to be considered tonight,

2083
01:57:19,198 --> 01:57:21,869
you will be sworn in before your testimony is taken.

2084
01:57:21,869 --> 01:57:28,159
Please no, if you speak, you may be -- know, if you speak,

2085
01:57:28,159 --> 01:57:29,826
you may be subject to cross-examination.

2086
01:57:29,826 --> 01:57:33,533
If you refuse to either be cross-examined or to be sworn,

2087
01:57:33,533 --> 01:57:35,797
your testimony will be considered in the context

2088
01:57:35,797 --> 01:57:37,132
and given its due weight.

2089
01:57:37,132 --> 01:57:38,799
The general public will not be permitted

2090
01:57:38,799 --> 01:57:40,985
to cross-examine witnesses, but may

2091
01:57:40,985 --> 01:57:42,818
request that the Commission direct questions

2092
01:57:42,818 --> 01:57:45,495
on their behalf to the applicant or staff.

2093
01:57:45,495 --> 01:57:47,343
Will the clerk please confirm compliance

2094
01:57:47,343 --> 01:57:49,743
with the notice requirements?

2095
01:57:51,348 --> 01:57:53,848
>> The city has satisfied the legally required public notice

2096
01:57:53,848 --> 01:57:58,648
for the public hearings for agenda items 19, 20, and 21.

2097
01:58:00,652 --> 01:58:03,964
>> And will you please swear in the witnesses?

2098
01:58:03,964 --> 01:58:06,464
>> Will anyone wishing to speak on any of the quasi judicial

2099
01:58:06,464 --> 01:58:11,264
items please stand and raise your right hand?

2100
01:58:11,573 --> 01:58:15,573
Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth,

2101
01:58:15,573 --> 01:58:17,973
nothing but the truth?

2102
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:20,413
When you come forward to speak, will you state your name

2103
01:58:20,413 --> 01:58:22,279
and address clearly for the record and state

2104
01:58:22,279 --> 01:58:23,861
whether or not you have been sworn in

2105
01:58:23,861 --> 01:58:25,236
and whether or not you understand

2106
01:58:25,236 --> 01:58:28,236
the rules of the proceedings?

2107
01:58:28,368 --> 01:58:30,368
Thank you.

2108
01:58:31,814 --> 01:58:32,625
>> Okay.

2109
01:58:32,625 --> 01:58:36,746
So we are going to now -- we will now hear agenda number 19.

2110
01:58:36,746 --> 01:58:39,463
After I read the resolution, I will ask for a motion

2111
01:58:39,463 --> 01:58:44,531
and a second to the item -- a resolution approving the special

2112
01:58:44,531 --> 01:58:49,451
land use application requested by Juan Basto to establish

2113
01:58:49,451 --> 01:58:53,413
a pharmacy within the existing medical office located at 3850

2114
01:58:53,413 --> 01:58:56,558
Coconut Creek Parkway, as legally described in exhibit

2115
01:58:56,558 --> 01:59:00,359
A attached hereto and made a part hereof.

2116
01:59:00,359 --> 01:59:04,559
Is there a motion and a second?

2117
01:59:07,948 --> 01:59:09,615
>> Move it.

2118
01:59:09,615 --> 01:59:14,415
>> Moved by Commissioner Welch, seconded by Commissioner Railey.

2119
01:59:14,917 --> 01:59:16,917
City attorney?

2120
01:59:18,895 --> 01:59:19,728
>> Thank you, mayor.

2121
01:59:19,728 --> 01:59:20,908
Are there any disclosures comments

2122
01:59:20,908 --> 01:59:22,573
such as outside communications or site

2123
01:59:22,573 --> 01:59:27,973
visits on behalf of the Commission for item number 19?

2124
01:59:29,759 --> 01:59:30,259
>> Yes.

2125
01:59:30,259 --> 01:59:33,259
I did visit the location.

2126
01:59:35,740 --> 01:59:37,740
>> Thank you.

2127
01:59:38,117 --> 01:59:41,573
>> I also went to the site, but I think in some maybe passing

2128
01:59:41,573 --> 01:59:43,445
way I talked to Senator Geller.

2129
01:59:43,445 --> 01:59:45,606
I don't think we touched on the substance.

2130
01:59:45,606 --> 01:59:47,773
I think he advised me he was retained on the matter.

2131
01:59:47,773 --> 01:59:51,373
That would be the only disclosure.

2132
01:59:51,733 --> 01:59:52,650
>> I went to the site.

2133
01:59:52,650 --> 01:59:53,584
I did not go in.

2134
01:59:53,584 --> 01:59:58,384
I did have a conversation with Senator Geller.

2135
02:00:02,586 --> 02:00:03,128
>> All right.

2136
02:00:03,128 --> 02:00:05,528
So we are back.

2137
02:00:05,965 --> 02:00:07,965
All right.

2138
02:00:08,213 --> 02:00:14,213
City staff will now make a presentation on item number 19.

2139
02:00:14,682 --> 02:00:14,939
>> Thank you mayor.

2140
02:00:14,939 --> 02:00:16,479
I'll do a brief update on where we stand on this,

2141
02:00:16,479 --> 02:00:18,210
then I believe the applicant is going

2142
02:00:18,210 --> 02:00:21,773
to be providing a similar update on their clarifications.

2143
02:00:21,773 --> 02:00:26,530
As you recall, at the August 13th 2026 meeting,

2144
02:00:26,530 --> 02:00:28,323
the City Commission voted to table consideration

2145
02:00:28,323 --> 02:00:31,743
of the Special Land Use application in the public

2146
02:00:31,743 --> 02:00:32,803
hearing to this meeting.

2147
02:00:32,803 --> 02:00:36,163
Since then, city staff has met with the applicant

2148
02:00:36,163 --> 02:00:40,363
to further discuss the pharmacy's proposed security

2149
02:00:41,763 --> 02:00:44,130
measures, at the delivery service comment the signage,

2150
02:00:44,130 --> 02:00:47,130
and the hours of operation.

2151
02:00:47,973 --> 02:00:49,797
We also discussed this application

2152
02:00:49,797 --> 02:00:51,119
and some of the issues that were brought up

2153
02:00:51,119 --> 02:00:53,452
at the last meeting with Coconut Creek Police Department

2154
02:00:53,452 --> 02:00:56,813
and our Chief of Police and Staff on the DRC.

2155
02:00:56,813 --> 02:00:59,813
Based on the applicant's representations

2156
02:01:00,146 --> 02:01:06,146
and the additional information, it is important to point out

2157
02:01:09,564 --> 02:01:11,856
that -- no objection to the proposed security measures,

2158
02:01:11,856 --> 02:01:13,506
however they do have one request that will be a part

2159
02:01:13,506 --> 02:01:15,881
of the conditions of approval that the applicant maintain

2160
02:01:15,881 --> 02:01:19,958
current contact information for the pharmacy owner and/or

2161
02:01:19,958 --> 02:01:22,423
the designated responsible representatives law enforcement

2162
02:01:22,423 --> 02:01:26,719
can verify a delivery driver's affiliation with the pharmacy.

2163
02:01:26,719 --> 02:01:30,726
I will just summarize some of the issues that were discussed.

2164
02:01:30,726 --> 02:01:33,126
We discussed medication delivery.

2165
02:01:33,613 --> 02:01:38,560
There are a number of -- there were a number of questions

2166
02:01:38,560 --> 02:01:39,973
at the last meeting about medication delivery,

2167
02:01:39,973 --> 02:01:43,959
just some points to point out and for clarification,

2168
02:01:43,959 --> 02:01:47,293
since we are here again, at the pharmacy anticipates utilizing

2169
02:01:47,293 --> 02:01:50,609
approximately two delivery drivers per day.

2170
02:01:50,609 --> 02:01:53,453
They will be operating in unmarked vehicles

2171
02:01:53,453 --> 02:01:55,313
to deliver medications to customers.

2172
02:01:55,313 --> 02:02:00,586
The applicant also pointed out there are about ten pharmacies

2173
02:02:00,586 --> 02:02:02,341
in the city of Coconut Creek.

2174
02:02:02,341 --> 02:02:05,586
These are the corporate pharmacies such as Walgreens,

2175
02:02:05,586 --> 02:02:07,586
CVS, Publix, Walmart.

2176
02:02:08,213 --> 02:02:11,758
The applicant stated that they have delivery service.

2177
02:02:11,758 --> 02:02:15,860
I also personally looked on those websites, as well,

2178
02:02:15,860 --> 02:02:18,635
and they all have on their websites

2179
02:02:18,635 --> 02:02:23,973
and identify medication delivery as a service they offer.

2180
02:02:23,973 --> 02:02:28,993
Another point that the applicant and staff discussed was

2181
02:02:28,993 --> 02:02:33,793
the degree of the pharmacy versus the main,

2182
02:02:35,313 --> 02:02:38,473
in person pharmacy that they have

2183
02:02:38,473 --> 02:02:41,930
and versus the medication delivery service.

2184
02:02:41,930 --> 02:02:44,853
It is important to point out that the medication delivery

2185
02:02:44,853 --> 02:02:47,906
service is considered ancillary to their principal business

2186
02:02:47,906 --> 02:02:48,906
as a pharmacy.

2187
02:02:48,906 --> 02:02:52,373
It is not intended to function as a pharmacy delivery service

2188
02:02:52,373 --> 02:02:54,373
only.

2189
02:02:54,933 --> 02:02:56,746
So the principal use of this location

2190
02:02:56,746 --> 02:02:59,530
is a pharmacy and not solely just

2191
02:02:59,530 --> 02:03:01,133
a medication distribution business.

2192
02:03:01,133 --> 02:03:03,173
That was the discussion we had.

2193
02:03:03,173 --> 02:03:05,603
Finally, on medication delivery, as we

2194
02:03:05,603 --> 02:03:10,319
were discussing this application with the chief of police,

2195
02:03:10,319 --> 02:03:14,930
he did point out that there are code of federal regulations

2196
02:03:14,930 --> 02:03:17,173
that regulate delivery of controlled substances,

2197
02:03:17,173 --> 02:03:20,933
and if it ever comes to that, there

2198
02:03:20,933 --> 02:03:25,133
are regulations relating to selection, markings, tracking,

2199
02:03:25,533 --> 02:03:27,293
and signature requirements.

2200
02:03:27,293 --> 02:03:30,919
Based on the federal oversight already in place

2201
02:03:30,919 --> 02:03:33,430
and the fact that other pharmacies currently

2202
02:03:33,430 --> 02:03:36,429
offer their service in the city without any adverse sight

2203
02:03:36,429 --> 02:03:40,993
or public safety impacts, staff, including the police department,

2204
02:03:40,993 --> 02:03:45,530
at this time, do not recommend any additional additions related

2205
02:03:45,530 --> 02:03:47,293
to delivery of medication.

2206
02:03:47,293 --> 02:03:49,562
For the pharmacy sign, there were

2207
02:03:49,562 --> 02:03:50,979
some questions related to the sign

2208
02:03:50,979 --> 02:03:55,855
and where it would be placed and the size of the sign.

2209
02:03:55,855 --> 02:03:59,146
There are regulations by the Florida Department

2210
02:03:59,146 --> 02:04:04,981
of Health on some minimum sizes for a pharmacy sign.

2211
02:04:04,981 --> 02:04:07,730
Minimum size of letters must be one inch,

2212
02:04:07,730 --> 02:04:10,993
and it must be visibly located at the pharmacy itself.

2213
02:04:10,993 --> 02:04:15,197
The applicant provided a graphic in the backup materials

2214
02:04:15,197 --> 02:04:19,319
of the west facade of the pharmacy, which

2215
02:04:19,319 --> 02:04:21,983
is the front door, which faces the interior

2216
02:04:21,983 --> 02:04:23,739
of the lot and the parking lot.

2217
02:04:23,739 --> 02:04:27,470
They propose to place the sign in the area which

2218
02:04:27,470 --> 02:04:30,210
is marked as red, in a red box.

2219
02:04:30,210 --> 02:04:33,119
In that location, this sign, if posted

2220
02:04:33,119 --> 02:04:35,397
on the windows or the doors, would essentially

2221
02:04:35,397 --> 02:04:38,986
be similar to a window sign or a door sign.

2222
02:04:38,986 --> 02:04:41,773
That would state the name of the pharmacy, most likely,

2223
02:04:41,773 --> 02:04:44,813
hours of operation, and things like that.

2224
02:04:44,813 --> 02:04:50,803
We also looked at the hours of operation and questions

2225
02:04:50,803 --> 02:04:54,606
relating to, what are the hours of operation?

2226
02:04:54,606 --> 02:04:56,773
The medical clinic that currently exists on the site

2227
02:04:56,773 --> 02:05:02,173
operates from 8:30 to 5:00, and to disclose Saturday and Sunday.

2228
02:05:04,400 --> 02:05:05,957
The pharmacy has agreed that they will operate

2229
02:05:05,957 --> 02:05:07,453
during those same hours.

2230
02:05:07,453 --> 02:05:12,853
Staff recommends a condition memorializing tthose hours of --

2231
02:05:20,778 --> 02:05:23,530
those hours of operation, and those are in the backup

2232
02:05:23,530 --> 02:05:23,553
materials.

2233
02:05:23,553 --> 02:05:25,656
There are some additional conditions of approval.

2234
02:05:25,656 --> 02:05:27,169
They relate to hours of operation.

2235
02:05:27,169 --> 02:05:29,805
The second one relates to maximum pharmacy area.

2236
02:05:29,805 --> 02:05:34,163
As stated in the application, the maximum size of the pharmacy

2237
02:05:34,163 --> 02:05:36,163
is approximately 510ft².

2238
02:05:36,192 --> 02:05:39,579
And they have provided a floor plan

2239
02:05:39,579 --> 02:05:42,403
and the condition requires that it substantially

2240
02:05:42,403 --> 02:05:45,612
be depicted as it is on the floor plan in the application.

2241
02:05:45,612 --> 02:05:48,612
Third condition -- exterior signage.

2242
02:05:48,868 --> 02:05:50,493
Exterior signage for the pharmacy shall

2243
02:05:50,493 --> 02:05:52,468
be limited to the west side of the building,

2244
02:05:52,468 --> 02:05:55,148
as I said, facing the parking lot,

2245
02:05:55,148 --> 02:05:56,813
and substantially in the location

2246
02:05:56,813 --> 02:06:00,517
as it is graphically described in the backup materials.

2247
02:06:00,517 --> 02:06:02,263
Of course, it would need to comply

2248
02:06:02,263 --> 02:06:04,253
with any signage regulations that we have.

2249
02:06:04,253 --> 02:06:09,968
The last one -- this relates to the police department's request

2250
02:06:09,968 --> 02:06:14,282
for the pharmacy to keep them updated on contact information

2251
02:06:14,282 --> 02:06:19,373
about the current pharmacy owner and any designated responsible

2252
02:06:19,373 --> 02:06:23,130
representative who could verify the affiliation of any

2253
02:06:23,130 --> 02:06:25,141
of the delivery drivers.

2254
02:06:25,141 --> 02:06:28,141
And that concludes staff's recommendation

2255
02:06:28,439 --> 02:06:30,439
and our presentation.

2256
02:06:30,913 --> 02:06:32,612
Our recommendation is for approval

2257
02:06:32,612 --> 02:06:36,212
with these additional conditions of approval.

2258
02:06:37,776 --> 02:06:38,318
>> Thank you.

2259
02:06:38,318 --> 02:06:42,518
The applicant will now make its presentation.

2260
02:06:44,424 --> 02:06:46,105
>> Thank you.

2261
02:06:46,105 --> 02:06:48,847
I'm going to have a little bit of a problem here,

2262
02:06:48,847 --> 02:06:56,470
just because I don't know how to work the computer, because old.

2263
02:07:04,373 --> 02:07:10,373
First, I would like to ask a question of staff.

2264
02:07:12,410 --> 02:07:14,798
Your attorney will tell you that your staff recommendation

2265
02:07:14,798 --> 02:07:17,198
is competence substantial evidence.

2266
02:07:17,357 --> 02:07:23,957
I just want to verify that your recommendation was for approval.

2267
02:07:24,941 --> 02:07:26,920
>> Yes, it is.

2268
02:07:26,920 --> 02:07:28,795
>> And additionally, you had requested a list

2269
02:07:28,795 --> 02:07:30,356
of recommendations for conditions.

2270
02:07:30,356 --> 02:07:32,414
Did my client agree to each and every one

2271
02:07:32,414 --> 02:07:34,414
of your recommendations?

2272
02:07:36,308 --> 02:07:38,308
>> Yes, they have.

2273
02:07:38,475 --> 02:07:40,635
>> Thank That concludes my questions of staff.

2274
02:07:40,635 --> 02:07:45,710
I could make this a much longer presentation --

2275
02:07:45,710 --> 02:07:47,119
I'm sure that at this hour of the night

2276
02:07:47,119 --> 02:07:48,653
you would really appreciate that.

2277
02:07:48,653 --> 02:07:56,250
But I'm only -- if I can figure out how to do this.

2278
02:07:56,250 --> 02:07:58,425
I'm pressing which button?

2279
02:07:59,554 --> 02:08:00,558
Ah, okay.

2280
02:08:00,558 --> 02:08:01,384
I was pressing the wrong button.

2281
02:08:01,384 --> 02:08:03,612
I'm only going to address the differences for the questions

2282
02:08:03,612 --> 02:08:04,405
that were raised.

2283
02:08:04,405 --> 02:08:07,805
If you want additional questions that we went over last time,

2284
02:08:07,805 --> 02:08:09,221
I'm happy to address them.

2285
02:08:09,221 --> 02:08:12,930
But in the interest of speed, I won't.

2286
02:08:12,930 --> 02:08:14,130
There are questions about hours.

2287
02:08:14,130 --> 02:08:17,286
Again, the pharmacy is only open while the clinic is open.

2288
02:08:17,286 --> 02:08:21,797
It will never be open outside of operating hours.

2289
02:08:21,797 --> 02:08:24,479
We have agreed that there will not be any expansion.

2290
02:08:24,479 --> 02:08:27,493
I want to remind you, as you heard at the last meeting,

2291
02:08:27,493 --> 02:08:31,209
this building was built to house that pharmacy.

2292
02:08:31,209 --> 02:08:33,393
That's on the original building plans.

2293
02:08:33,393 --> 02:08:35,133
They just never did it.

2294
02:08:35,133 --> 02:08:37,503
But we're moving in to the existing space.

2295
02:08:37,503 --> 02:08:41,595
We've agreed it's not ever going to be expanded.

2296
02:08:41,595 --> 02:08:43,633
I will show you the signage in a moment,

2297
02:08:43,633 --> 02:08:47,670
but when I show you the signage, you will laugh and say,

2298
02:08:47,670 --> 02:08:50,399
we made a big deal over this?

2299
02:08:50,399 --> 02:08:53,761
In terms of delivery safety, I do

2300
02:08:53,761 --> 02:08:59,761
want to remind you about all of the other pharmacies.

2301
02:09:03,431 --> 02:09:04,973
Every other pharmacy in Coconut Creek

2302
02:09:04,973 --> 02:09:06,349
is currently doing deliveries.

2303
02:09:06,349 --> 02:09:09,721
But we are going to go above and beyond what they are doing,

2304
02:09:09,721 --> 02:09:11,917
as I will explain when I reach that slide.

2305
02:09:11,917 --> 02:09:15,374
See that little red circle there?

2306
02:09:15,374 --> 02:09:20,530
That's where we are going to put the sign.

2307
02:09:20,530 --> 02:09:26,605
And the sign -- and if you wish, I have ten copies --

2308
02:09:26,605 --> 02:09:28,630
is going to say substantially this.

2309
02:09:28,630 --> 02:09:30,353
It's going to say, direct meds of Florida pharmacy,

2310
02:09:30,353 --> 02:09:32,493
and it's going to have their hours and.

2311
02:09:32,493 --> 02:09:34,157
That's it.

2312
02:09:34,157 --> 02:09:38,653
If you'd like copies -- you don't really need them.

2313
02:09:38,653 --> 02:09:41,333
That's all that the sign is going to say.

2314
02:09:41,333 --> 02:09:46,133
The sign is going to be approximately 30 --

2315
02:09:51,248 --> 02:09:53,248
I'm sorry.

2316
02:09:54,684 --> 02:09:58,284
Okay, I'm sorry, it's 20 by 24 inches.

2317
02:10:02,950 --> 02:10:04,453
1 inch letters.

2318
02:10:04,453 --> 02:10:08,660
You have to be standing directly at the door to read this sign,

2319
02:10:08,660 --> 02:10:15,266
which is only going to say, yes, we are open from 8:30 to 5:00

2320
02:10:17,483 --> 02:10:18,646
PM.

2321
02:10:18,646 --> 02:10:20,146
That's all the sign is going to say.

2322
02:10:20,146 --> 02:10:24,801
So it's not exactly going to be something that people are going

2323
02:10:24,801 --> 02:10:30,416
to say, oh my god, they are still in controlled substances

2324
02:10:30,416 --> 02:10:31,130
they're.

2325
02:10:31,130 --> 02:10:31,793
Let's break in.

2326
02:10:31,793 --> 02:10:35,393
It's almost -- controlled substances there.

2327
02:10:39,446 --> 02:10:40,710
Let's break in.

2328
02:10:40,710 --> 02:10:41,530
It's almost silly on that.

2329
02:10:41,530 --> 02:10:43,328
It's not going to take up all the space inside the red box.

2330
02:10:43,328 --> 02:10:45,203
It will just take up a portion of that space.

2331
02:10:45,203 --> 02:10:48,757
We primarily are serving the clinic's own patients, although,

2332
02:10:48,757 --> 02:10:55,357
just as an example, if you have somebody that goes there,

2333
02:10:56,919 --> 02:11:02,557
and that's their pharmacy, and they go to a dentist,

2334
02:11:02,557 --> 02:11:06,749
and they are going to say, I'm going to have dental surgery,

2335
02:11:06,749 --> 02:11:12,149
so we will prescribe an anti-anxiety medicine before you

2336
02:11:12,924 --> 02:11:16,961
do that, even though that's not --

2337
02:11:16,961 --> 02:11:19,533
as long as it's a prescription, they will service it there

2338
02:11:19,533 --> 02:11:21,116
because it is a full service pharmacy.

2339
02:11:21,116 --> 02:11:23,381
Although, as we told you last time,

2340
02:11:23,381 --> 02:11:26,141
you're not going to be able to wander through aisles.

2341
02:11:26,141 --> 02:11:29,461
You go up, hand in your prescription,

2342
02:11:29,461 --> 02:11:32,563
and they will fill it, or they will deliver it.

2343
02:11:32,563 --> 02:11:35,430
In terms of the delivery --

2344
02:11:35,430 --> 02:11:41,430
I think that's later -- every pharmacy in Coconut Creek

2345
02:11:41,692 --> 02:11:44,359
delivers, but not every pharmacy in Coconut Creek is going to be

2346
02:11:44,359 --> 02:11:45,597
using their own people.

2347
02:11:45,597 --> 02:11:48,413
For example, right now you have Instacart.

2348
02:11:48,413 --> 02:11:49,458
You've got Uber.

2349
02:11:49,458 --> 02:11:53,221
As far as I know -- and I'm not an expert --

2350
02:11:53,221 --> 02:11:57,173
they don't require the Instacart drivers to pass drug

2351
02:11:57,173 --> 02:11:59,173
and background checks.

2352
02:11:59,543 --> 02:12:02,159
This pharmacy has already said that they

2353
02:12:02,159 --> 02:12:04,666
are going to require their drivers to pass

2354
02:12:04,666 --> 02:12:07,660
drug and background checks.

2355
02:12:11,207 --> 02:12:17,840
There's a lot more insecurity that we have agreed we are not

2356
02:12:17,840 --> 02:12:20,173
-- in security that we have agreed we are not discussing

2357
02:12:20,173 --> 02:12:22,530
because of state and federal law on security.

2358
02:12:22,530 --> 02:12:26,253
There will be those schedule II deliveries.

2359
02:12:26,427 --> 02:12:28,981
If it's an anti-anxiety medication or if it's

2360
02:12:28,981 --> 02:12:31,381
a prescription dental medication,

2361
02:12:32,783 --> 02:12:35,783
yeah, they'll be delivering those.

2362
02:12:35,999 --> 02:12:40,799
There will not be any schedule II deliveries.

2363
02:12:40,864 --> 02:12:43,330
There will be no narcotic deliveries, no painkiller

2364
02:12:43,330 --> 02:12:43,533
deliveries.

2365
02:12:43,533 --> 02:12:47,133
It's going to be normal healthcare.

2366
02:12:48,697 --> 02:12:51,670
And again, we have agreed, as one

2367
02:12:51,670 --> 02:12:55,861
of the conditions, that the police will have,

2368
02:12:55,861 --> 02:13:01,733
at all times, people to contact to verify that with the driver.

2369
02:13:01,733 --> 02:13:03,691
There was a question the last time about trips.

2370
02:13:03,691 --> 02:13:06,583
This actually will be taking trips off the road.

2371
02:13:06,583 --> 02:13:09,403
It is a negligible amount of deliveries.

2372
02:13:09,403 --> 02:13:12,403
We are expecting 20 per day.

2373
02:13:12,933 --> 02:13:15,933
And that's a negligible amount.

2374
02:13:16,473 --> 02:13:19,533
But every delivery that they are making

2375
02:13:19,533 --> 02:13:22,133
is taking cars off the road.

2376
02:13:22,133 --> 02:13:24,888
So that's not an issue.

2377
02:13:24,888 --> 02:13:30,288
There was a lot of question about pharmacies --

2378
02:13:30,590 --> 02:13:33,837
that this would be a new model.

2379
02:13:33,837 --> 02:13:34,727
It's not.

2380
02:13:34,727 --> 02:13:38,327
In fact, throughout Broward County --

2381
02:13:39,225 --> 02:13:41,225
I checked specifically.

2382
02:13:41,411 --> 02:13:49,211
For example, I know -- it may be relatively new here in Coconut

2383
02:13:49,672 --> 02:13:55,174
Creek, but just as one example, I looked up Chen medical

2384
02:13:55,174 --> 02:13:58,213
Centers, which has offices similar to this.

2385
02:13:58,213 --> 02:13:59,933
It's a clinic which has its own pharmacy

2386
02:13:59,933 --> 02:14:03,373
inside in plantation, Oakland Park, Margate,

2387
02:14:03,373 --> 02:14:05,773
Walter Hill, and Deerfield.

2388
02:14:12,773 --> 02:14:15,773
Margate has more than one.

2389
02:14:16,453 --> 02:14:20,267
This is a very, very common model.

2390
02:14:20,267 --> 02:14:24,467
These are examples of pharmacies inside clinics

2391
02:14:28,400 --> 02:14:29,973
or inside hospitals right here.

2392
02:14:29,973 --> 02:14:35,150
We were requested four conditions of approval to limit

2393
02:14:35,150 --> 02:14:36,969
it to the hours that the clinic is open,

2394
02:14:36,969 --> 02:14:38,625
which we planned on doing anyhow,

2395
02:14:38,625 --> 02:14:41,521
but we have agreed to put that as a condition,

2396
02:14:41,521 --> 02:14:45,421
to limit the exterior signage, as we have shown,

2397
02:14:45,421 --> 02:14:50,221
to have the maximum pharmacy area of --

2398
02:14:52,136 --> 02:14:56,733
we are already planning on doing that, but happy to do that.

2399
02:14:56,733 --> 02:14:58,243
The police contact for deliveries --

2400
02:14:58,243 --> 02:15:01,334
everything that the city asked, we agreed to do,

2401
02:15:01,334 --> 02:15:03,740
as you have heard testimony.

2402
02:15:03,740 --> 02:15:05,875
I could go on and on, and I typically do,

2403
02:15:05,875 --> 02:15:07,386
but I won't tonight.

2404
02:15:07,386 --> 02:15:10,197
I'd be happy to answer any questions,

2405
02:15:10,197 --> 02:15:14,486
but we think we have answered all of your questions.

2406
02:15:14,486 --> 02:15:16,486
I'm done.

2407
02:15:17,621 --> 02:15:19,621
>> Commissioner Rydell?

2408
02:15:24,774 --> 02:15:27,191
>> Does the city staff have any questions of the applicant

2409
02:15:27,191 --> 02:15:28,140
at this time?

2410
02:15:28,140 --> 02:15:29,383
I'll now open the hearing.

2411
02:15:29,383 --> 02:15:31,466
Are there any members of the public who would like

2412
02:15:31,466 --> 02:15:33,842
to speak on agenda item 19?

2413
02:15:33,842 --> 02:15:37,479
Once called upon, please come forward to the lectern,

2414
02:15:37,479 --> 02:15:39,657
unmute the microphone, identify yourself,

2415
02:15:39,657 --> 02:15:41,157
state whether you have been sworn in

2416
02:15:41,157 --> 02:15:43,699
and whether you understand the conditions of the proceedings.

2417
02:15:43,699 --> 02:15:46,146
When you are done speaking, mute the microphone.

2418
02:15:46,146 --> 02:15:48,146
Public hearing closed.

2419
02:15:48,767 --> 02:15:52,303
Does the applicant or staff wish to cross-examine

2420
02:15:52,303 --> 02:15:54,703
any of the witnesses?

2421
02:15:55,158 --> 02:15:56,533
The public Hearing is now closed.

2422
02:15:56,533 --> 02:15:57,908
We will now hear closing remarks.

2423
02:15:57,908 --> 02:16:02,108
Do either of you have closing remarks?

2424
02:16:02,253 --> 02:16:03,796
>> No, sir.

2425
02:16:03,796 --> 02:16:04,973
Thank you.

2426
02:16:04,973 --> 02:16:05,640
>> Good project.

2427
02:16:05,640 --> 02:16:07,640
We recommend approval.

2428
02:16:08,736 --> 02:16:10,736
>> Commissioner Rydell?

2429
02:16:11,636 --> 02:16:12,927
>> I'll be brief.

2430
02:16:12,927 --> 02:16:14,981
I'm very supportive of the project.

2431
02:16:14,981 --> 02:16:17,481
I'm very supportive of the service he's providing.

2432
02:16:17,481 --> 02:16:20,160
My issues were the development and DRC,

2433
02:16:20,160 --> 02:16:22,266
how we got here, in terms of things that I don't think

2434
02:16:22,266 --> 02:16:22,891
were addressed.

2435
02:16:22,891 --> 02:16:28,286
I'm going to ask the -- with all due respect,

2436
02:16:28,286 --> 02:16:30,119
I'm going to ask my police chief to come up.

2437
02:16:30,119 --> 02:16:31,714
I'm going to ask him some questions,

2438
02:16:31,714 --> 02:16:32,853
then I'm going to turn to my staff

2439
02:16:32,853 --> 02:16:34,113
and ask them some questions.

2440
02:16:34,113 --> 02:16:37,470
Chief, before I get to you, I want to turn to Justin and Liz.

2441
02:16:37,470 --> 02:16:40,283
Obviously, we can all agree that there were things addressed

2442
02:16:40,283 --> 02:16:43,373
in our public hearing last time that may not

2443
02:16:43,373 --> 02:16:46,330
have came up in DRC and staff.

2444
02:16:46,330 --> 02:16:48,330
Is that fair?

2445
02:16:49,502 --> 02:16:50,885
>> Yes.

2446
02:16:50,885 --> 02:16:53,427
>> In regarding that, do you guys feel that the applicant has

2447
02:16:53,427 --> 02:16:55,827
met all those requirements?

2448
02:16:58,210 --> 02:16:59,699
>> Yes, we do.

2449
02:16:59,699 --> 02:17:00,280
>> Because I know there wasn't a lot addressed in terms

2450
02:17:00,280 --> 02:17:01,930
of delivery services.

2451
02:17:01,930 --> 02:17:03,676
There wasn't a lot addressed in some of these things that were

2452
02:17:03,676 --> 02:17:05,813
unknowns to us that wasn't necessarily addressed

2453
02:17:05,813 --> 02:17:10,224
to the backup, nor candidly addressed to --

2454
02:17:10,224 --> 02:17:12,557
I'm going to turn to my chief now and say call my chief,

2455
02:17:12,557 --> 02:17:16,878
you had people that were sitting on DRC

2456
02:17:16,878 --> 02:17:18,615
and obviously on committee on this.

2457
02:17:18,615 --> 02:17:22,198
Do you feel -- three easy questions.

2458
02:17:22,198 --> 02:17:26,179
Do you feel you reengaged in terms of from two weeks ago

2459
02:17:26,179 --> 02:17:30,379
to today in regarding the prospective project?

2460
02:17:31,918 --> 02:17:31,928
>> Absolutely.

2461
02:17:31,928 --> 02:17:33,193
Originally Sergeant Hendrix was the representative

2462
02:17:33,193 --> 02:17:34,276
for the police department.

2463
02:17:34,276 --> 02:17:35,943
As a result of the meeting last time,

2464
02:17:35,943 --> 02:17:38,199
I personally looked over the applicant's responses

2465
02:17:38,199 --> 02:17:41,799
and we fully support the project.

2466
02:17:46,101 --> 02:17:47,933
>> You have zero concerns from what you do in regarding some

2467
02:17:47,933 --> 02:17:49,891
of the discussions from two weeks ago to today,

2468
02:17:49,891 --> 02:17:54,910
you have zero concerns on this project?

2469
02:17:54,592 --> 02:17:56,592
>> That's correct.

2470
02:17:56,871 --> 02:17:57,170
>> I just want to put that on record.

2471
02:17:57,170 --> 02:17:57,773
Thank you for addressing it.

2472
02:17:57,773 --> 02:17:59,486
I don't want to get into this specific --

2473
02:17:59,486 --> 02:18:02,800
our city attorney is starting to make eyes at me.

2474
02:18:02,800 --> 02:18:04,763
I'm not asking anything specific in regarding DEA requirements

2475
02:18:04,763 --> 02:18:06,453
or anything with pharmacies.

2476
02:18:06,453 --> 02:18:07,926
Thank you, chief.

2477
02:18:07,926 --> 02:18:11,913
I turned to our city attorney, and asked these questions.

2478
02:18:11,913 --> 02:18:14,723
Justin, you listed four conditions of approval.

2479
02:18:14,723 --> 02:18:18,869
Senator Geller has acquiesced or offered or agreed

2480
02:18:18,869 --> 02:18:20,533
to the four conditions.

2481
02:18:20,533 --> 02:18:22,933
Senator, are you there?

2482
02:18:24,640 --> 02:18:25,643
I can't see you.

2483
02:18:25,643 --> 02:18:26,143
Humor me.

2484
02:18:26,143 --> 02:18:26,406
Stand up.

2485
02:18:26,406 --> 02:18:27,593
I never get to say that.

2486
02:18:27,593 --> 02:18:28,733
I'm always in front of you.

2487
02:18:28,733 --> 02:18:33,533
Those four conditions of approval, you agree with.

2488
02:18:33,801 --> 02:18:38,100
>> We agreed to everything they asked for.

2489
02:18:38,401 --> 02:18:40,734
>> Are these conditions of approval that we need to make

2490
02:18:40,734 --> 02:18:44,934
a motion to amend on the application?

2491
02:18:49,445 --> 02:18:52,445
That's a really long pause.

2492
02:18:52,734 --> 02:18:53,747
>> Yes, you need to make a motion to amend to add them

2493
02:18:53,747 --> 02:18:55,189
as a condition of approval.

2494
02:18:55,189 --> 02:18:58,818
It's not part of the recommendations by staff.

2495
02:18:58,818 --> 02:19:01,818
So the answer is yes.

2496
02:19:03,901 --> 02:19:05,433
>> So the answer is this, and I will say this, Senator Geller,

2497
02:19:05,433 --> 02:19:06,945
I appreciate your advocacy on this.

2498
02:19:06,945 --> 02:19:08,313
I appreciate the information I have

2499
02:19:08,313 --> 02:19:09,507
received from staff on this.

2500
02:19:09,507 --> 02:19:11,319
I am supportive of the project this evening

2501
02:19:11,319 --> 02:19:13,941
in terms of the global component of it.

2502
02:19:13,941 --> 02:19:17,330
After my colleagues say what they want to question and things

2503
02:19:17,330 --> 02:19:18,973
like this, I'm advising all of you,

2504
02:19:18,973 --> 02:19:20,965
I am prepared to make a motion to add

2505
02:19:20,965 --> 02:19:24,223
the conditions of approval before conditions, specifically

2506
02:19:24,223 --> 02:19:27,245
the hours of operation, at the maximum size of the pharmacy,

2507
02:19:27,245 --> 02:19:29,308
the exterior sign, as well as obviously working

2508
02:19:29,308 --> 02:19:30,433
with the police department.

2509
02:19:30,433 --> 02:19:33,413
I'm prepared to make a motion to amend for those.

2510
02:19:33,413 --> 02:19:36,253
But I'm not making the motion, because I don't want

2511
02:19:36,253 --> 02:19:37,693
to stifle any conversation.

2512
02:19:37,693 --> 02:19:40,930
That's all I have.

2513
02:19:43,166 --> 02:19:43,833
>> Good evening.

2514
02:19:43,833 --> 02:19:44,933
Here we are.

2515
02:19:44,933 --> 02:19:48,690
I totally agree that I think there

2516
02:19:48,690 --> 02:19:51,613
were more questions than answers at the first meeting.

2517
02:19:51,613 --> 02:19:55,213
As a result, getting some information

2518
02:19:56,437 --> 02:19:58,213
does make things a little clearer,

2519
02:19:58,213 --> 02:20:01,141
because at the last meeting, the size of the letters

2520
02:20:01,141 --> 02:20:06,730
did matter because it said they would be a minimum of one inch.

2521
02:20:06,730 --> 02:20:08,473
It didn't say --

2522
02:20:08,879 --> 02:20:11,837
I'm imagining a large sign flashing.

2523
02:20:11,837 --> 02:20:13,837
Humor me.

2524
02:20:14,285 --> 02:20:21,485
Let's not make too much ado about the size of the letter.

2525
02:20:21,506 --> 02:20:25,706
I would even entertain having the condition

2526
02:20:25,861 --> 02:20:29,439
that the letters are one inch in size

2527
02:20:29,439 --> 02:20:32,525
on the notation on the wall.

2528
02:20:32,525 --> 02:20:37,925
But about the delivery -- the hours of operation

2529
02:20:39,625 --> 02:20:46,825
for the clinic and the pharmacy are suggested to be the same,

2530
02:20:47,338 --> 02:20:49,738
8:30 to 5:00, Monday through Friday.

2531
02:20:50,144 --> 02:20:52,544
What about the delivery?

2532
02:20:54,293 --> 02:20:59,930
Would they stay within those hours, as well?

2533
02:21:00,830 --> 02:21:04,883
>> The dispatches would be made within those hours.

2534
02:21:05,250 --> 02:21:06,583
>> But what if something arises?

2535
02:21:06,583 --> 02:21:09,528
You see where I'm going with this?

2536
02:21:09,528 --> 02:21:11,524
What if something arises?

2537
02:21:11,524 --> 02:21:15,934
The reason I say that is, what happens with that, if items

2538
02:21:15,934 --> 02:21:18,776
aren't able to be delivered?

2539
02:21:18,776 --> 02:21:21,873
In part of the backup, it said, the majority

2540
02:21:21,873 --> 02:21:24,146
of the time, signatures will be required.

2541
02:21:24,146 --> 02:21:28,946
Are they left if there is no signature?

2542
02:21:29,556 --> 02:21:31,478
And then if no one is there to receive it --

2543
02:21:31,478 --> 02:21:33,927
let's say it is a gated community and they can't get

2544
02:21:33,927 --> 02:21:34,458
in the gate.

2545
02:21:34,458 --> 02:21:35,310
I don't know.

2546
02:21:35,310 --> 02:21:38,790
I'm just making this stuff up, the scenario.

2547
02:21:38,790 --> 02:21:40,723
But what happens?

2548
02:21:40,723 --> 02:21:44,140
What if they have to take it back?

2549
02:21:44,140 --> 02:21:45,473
They don't drive around with it.

2550
02:21:45,473 --> 02:21:48,713
I'm just trying to say, if the deliveries were

2551
02:21:48,713 --> 02:21:53,285
within the same hours of the clinic and the pharmacy,

2552
02:21:53,285 --> 02:21:57,813
within that time frame, then you are ensured that you've

2553
02:21:57,813 --> 02:22:02,130
got a closed loop of the dispensing,

2554
02:22:02,101 --> 02:22:08,701
no matter whether it's in person or whether it's by vehicle,

2555
02:22:09,297 --> 02:22:12,897
to be in a protected situation.

2556
02:22:15,550 --> 02:22:17,949
>> Just to throw it out there --

2557
02:22:17,949 --> 02:22:19,949
>> I'm talking.

2558
02:22:20,387 --> 02:22:23,930
>> I'm asking a question, because I think it's very

2559
02:22:23,930 --> 02:22:23,679
relevant.

2560
02:22:23,679 --> 02:22:26,373
Hypothetically, if there is a dispatch at 4:00,

2561
02:22:26,373 --> 02:22:28,873
and they have ten deliveries to make, are you addressing,

2562
02:22:28,873 --> 02:22:33,673
are they making deliveries after they close at 5:00?

2563
02:22:35,182 --> 02:22:36,448
>> yeah.

2564
02:22:36,448 --> 02:22:38,281
>> I didn't mean to interrupt, Commissioner.

2565
02:22:38,281 --> 02:22:41,348
I'm just trying to understand question.

2566
02:22:41,348 --> 02:22:44,930
>> It is, because things happen.

2567
02:22:44,930 --> 02:22:47,930
There is no perfect scenario.

2568
02:22:48,517 --> 02:22:49,850
>> I'm happy to respond to that.

2569
02:22:49,850 --> 02:22:51,689
The dispatch will be made during hours.

2570
02:22:51,689 --> 02:22:57,890
If there's a dispatch, as commissioner Rydell just said,

2571
02:22:59,507 --> 02:23:05,712
if there is a dispatch at 4:30, and the clinic closes at 5:00,

2572
02:23:05,712 --> 02:23:08,379
and because of traffic, because there's a long line at the gate,

2573
02:23:08,379 --> 02:23:13,179
at the delivery is not made until 5:30 or 6:00,

2574
02:23:15,999 --> 02:23:17,499
that's still going to be acceptable.

2575
02:23:17,499 --> 02:23:20,520
Every other pharmacy in Coconut Creek

2576
02:23:20,520 --> 02:23:22,413
will be delivering probably later than that.

2577
02:23:22,413 --> 02:23:26,210
But all of the dispatches will be made during the hours.

2578
02:23:26,210 --> 02:23:32,810
I can't tell you what traffic is going to be like.

2579
02:23:32,810 --> 02:23:32,258
>> I'm not talking about traffic.

2580
02:23:32,258 --> 02:23:33,925
I'm talking about if it's undeliverable.

2581
02:23:33,925 --> 02:23:36,925
What happens with the package?

2582
02:23:40,728 --> 02:23:44,743
>> I'm going to ask you to identify yourself again.

2583
02:23:44,743 --> 02:23:45,535
>> Diana Greenberg.

2584
02:23:45,535 --> 02:23:46,373
Hello again.

2585
02:23:46,373 --> 02:23:49,973
We have two deliveries a day.

2586
02:23:50,273 --> 02:23:53,540
The one that goes out at 4:00 -- it's usually emergencies.

2587
02:23:53,540 --> 02:23:54,804
It's usually antibiotics or something that

2588
02:23:54,804 --> 02:23:56,237
has to be delivered that day.

2589
02:23:56,237 --> 02:23:58,738
If not, it's going to go out the next day.

2590
02:23:58,738 --> 02:24:02,109
The pharmacy dispatcher calls to make sure

2591
02:24:02,109 --> 02:24:04,613
that somebody is going to be there to receive it.

2592
02:24:04,613 --> 02:24:07,473
If not, they don't go out.

2593
02:24:07,473 --> 02:24:12,273
The driver has the phone number to call.

2594
02:24:14,197 --> 02:24:16,428
>> I was just worried about what would happen --

2595
02:24:16,428 --> 02:24:19,530
because the hours are similar, and what happens with the driver

2596
02:24:19,530 --> 02:24:21,530
in that situation?

2597
02:24:21,283 --> 02:24:23,612
So you've answered that.

2598
02:24:23,612 --> 02:24:27,793
I appreciate the follow up and all the information that was

2599
02:24:27,793 --> 02:24:30,557
given and the oversight from the police department about some

2600
02:24:30,557 --> 02:24:34,757
of the other concerns in that regard .

2601
02:24:37,413 --> 02:24:40,293
You must understand, Senator Geller,

2602
02:24:40,293 --> 02:24:45,930
I've never approved pharmacy hours or pharmacy deliveries

2603
02:24:49,223 --> 02:24:51,632
since I've been on commission.

2604
02:24:51,632 --> 02:24:53,865
To my knowledge, we don't have a clinic

2605
02:24:53,865 --> 02:24:56,730
that has an in-house pharmacy to dispense medications

2606
02:24:56,730 --> 02:24:56,833
to their patients.

2607
02:24:56,833 --> 02:24:58,173
I think it is a value.

2608
02:24:58,173 --> 02:25:02,579
I remember this was a model that was used years

2609
02:25:02,579 --> 02:25:04,353
ago in doctor's offices.

2610
02:25:04,353 --> 02:25:06,530
They dispensed their own medicine.

2611
02:25:06,530 --> 02:25:07,103
I'm not opposed to it.

2612
02:25:07,103 --> 02:25:08,893
I'm just saying, it's a different model.

2613
02:25:08,893 --> 02:25:10,739
I had a lot of questions.

2614
02:25:10,739 --> 02:25:12,559
I asked a lot of questions.

2615
02:25:12,559 --> 02:25:16,159
Just trying to do my job.

2616
02:25:19,253 --> 02:25:24,530
I, too, am ready to approve it, but with the conditions --

2617
02:25:24,530 --> 02:25:28,853
and I do want to add the --

2618
02:25:29,996 --> 02:25:31,996
>> One-inch letters.

2619
02:25:33,242 --> 02:25:36,660
However, if I could ask, on the 510ft²,

2620
02:25:36,660 --> 02:25:38,786
we said approximately in case it's 510.6.

2621
02:25:38,786 --> 02:25:42,693
I would just ask that you say that the letters be

2622
02:25:42,693 --> 02:25:47,564
approximately one inch, because I don't know if it's 32 point

2623
02:25:47,564 --> 02:25:53,564
type or whatever, if that makes it 0.95in or 1.02 inches.

2624
02:25:58,763 --> 02:26:02,363
>> You need some more coffee, Senator.

2625
02:26:02,429 --> 02:26:07,229
>> I'd ask that you say approximately one inches.

2626
02:26:16,865 --> 02:26:18,948
>> I appreciate it, and I also was very interested

2627
02:26:18,948 --> 02:26:21,148
in the special land use, how it rolled over,

2628
02:26:21,148 --> 02:26:25,529
if the property owners changed, either in the building

2629
02:26:25,529 --> 02:26:27,929
or in the pharmacy.

2630
02:26:28,875 --> 02:26:33,750
So I'm assuming this is, same conditions

2631
02:26:33,338 --> 02:26:35,713
would apply to whoever the owner would be of the doctor's

2632
02:26:35,713 --> 02:26:38,113
group or the pharmacy.

2633
02:26:39,679 --> 02:26:42,120
>> Yes, the same conditions apply to whoever at any time

2634
02:26:42,120 --> 02:26:44,120
owns this pharmacy.

2635
02:26:45,146 --> 02:26:47,146
>> All right.

2636
02:26:47,695 --> 02:26:51,379
>> As we lawyers say, they would run with the land.

2637
02:26:51,379 --> 02:26:52,460
>> Good evening.

2638
02:26:52,460 --> 02:26:53,199
Good seeing you again.

2639
02:26:53,199 --> 02:26:56,199
Thank you for the information.

2640
02:26:56,363 --> 02:27:00,779
That did clarify a lot of our questions from the last meeting.

2641
02:27:00,779 --> 02:27:03,844
And I'm glad you had the opportunity to come back

2642
02:27:03,844 --> 02:27:05,833
and to work with our staff.

2643
02:27:05,833 --> 02:27:06,753
Thank you.

2644
02:27:06,753 --> 02:27:12,997
I do have one question, because I did go inside to the facility,

2645
02:27:12,997 --> 02:27:16,813
and I also saw that, when you enter,

2646
02:27:16,813 --> 02:27:20,681
there is a reception area, and then to the right,

2647
02:27:20,681 --> 02:27:23,929
as you are facing the reception area, to the right,

2648
02:27:23,929 --> 02:27:27,341
there was a facility there that looked like that

2649
02:27:27,341 --> 02:27:29,370
could be the pharmacy.

2650
02:27:29,370 --> 02:27:34,437
Is that the existing area that's going to be?

2651
02:27:35,331 --> 02:27:37,331
Okay, thank you.

2652
02:27:39,414 --> 02:27:40,997
>> I'm sorry, when you ask a question,

2653
02:27:40,997 --> 02:27:44,712
she needs to answer with the mice.

2654
02:27:44,712 --> 02:27:46,712
-- mic.

2655
02:27:47,222 --> 02:27:48,671
>> Yes, when you walk into the clinic, on the right,

2656
02:27:48,671 --> 02:27:49,629
you see three counters.

2657
02:27:49,629 --> 02:27:52,290
That's the pharmacy area.

2658
02:27:53,787 --> 02:27:55,454
>> And that's the size it's going to be?

2659
02:27:55,454 --> 02:27:57,454
You're not expanding?

2660
02:27:59,228 --> 02:28:01,985
>> We're not expanding at all.

2661
02:28:01,985 --> 02:28:03,985
>> Approximately 510ft.

2662
02:28:06,184 --> 02:28:08,590
>> You want to do your condition of approval?

2663
02:28:08,590 --> 02:28:12,417
I do, but the only, I guess, caveat to that

2664
02:28:12,417 --> 02:28:15,860
is, Commissioner Welch added something,

2665
02:28:15,860 --> 02:28:17,573
and I want to be a little clear with what her caveat is.

2666
02:28:17,573 --> 02:28:21,601
Her caveat was a fifth condition of approval was like a one inch

2667
02:28:21,601 --> 02:28:27,411
sign, but I guess the question I have, Senator --

2668
02:28:27,411 --> 02:28:31,211
>> A sign with one inch letters, approximately.

2669
02:28:31,211 --> 02:28:31,513
>> The statement I will make is this.

2670
02:28:31,513 --> 02:28:33,634
I'm happy to do that, if that is the will of the commission.

2671
02:28:33,634 --> 02:28:35,634
I heard from the rest of the commission on that.

2672
02:28:35,634 --> 02:28:36,899
I guess the reality is this.

2673
02:28:36,899 --> 02:28:44,990
Are you okay with a condition of approval for no marquee sign?

2674
02:28:44,494 --> 02:28:45,611
>> Yes.

2675
02:28:45,611 --> 02:28:47,312
>> I turned to Commissioner Welch,

2676
02:28:47,312 --> 02:28:49,479
and I only say it because, if this is a placard sign

2677
02:28:49,479 --> 02:28:52,215
on a window, I take different issue with that than a marquee

2678
02:28:52,215 --> 02:28:52,715
sign.

2679
02:28:52,715 --> 02:28:54,664
I think all of us last time were --

2680
02:28:54,664 --> 02:28:58,864
I think -- your applicant, Steve --

2681
02:29:00,973 --> 02:29:02,333
she didn't support marquee sign.

2682
02:29:02,333 --> 02:29:04,613
I think to me, the distinguishing characteristic

2683
02:29:04,613 --> 02:29:07,953
is, is this a marquee sign?

2684
02:29:07,953 --> 02:29:08,786
You don't want that.

2685
02:29:08,786 --> 02:29:12,986
I know your applicant doesn't want that.

2686
02:29:13,270 --> 02:29:15,320
>> That's a condition of approval 3, which is,

2687
02:29:15,320 --> 02:29:17,861
exterior signage shall be limited to the west facade

2688
02:29:17,861 --> 02:29:20,729
facing the parking lot, substantially in the location

2689
02:29:20,729 --> 02:29:24,929
depicted, which I have showed you that.

2690
02:29:25,596 --> 02:29:26,960
>> Agreed.

2691
02:29:26,960 --> 02:29:28,221
But I guess my question is, because that wasn't one

2692
02:29:28,221 --> 02:29:31,221
of Justin's approval conditions --

2693
02:29:32,194 --> 02:29:33,544
>> It is.

2694
02:29:33,544 --> 02:29:38,163
>> I know you say that, but in terms of the 1, 2, 3, 4 I got --

2695
02:29:38,163 --> 02:29:40,413
madam city Attorney, if I am prepared to make a motion

2696
02:29:40,413 --> 02:29:44,701
in terms of hours of operation, maximum size of the pharmacy,

2697
02:29:44,701 --> 02:29:46,546
in terms of the exterior signage,

2698
02:29:46,546 --> 02:29:48,793
do I have to be specific in terms of the adoption

2699
02:29:48,793 --> 02:29:53,100
of the exterior signage, then obviously the police department?

2700
02:29:53,100 --> 02:29:57,678
I guess I'm asking you in terms of sub 3, what

2701
02:29:57,678 --> 02:29:59,261
the motion exactly needs to be to meet

2702
02:29:59,261 --> 02:30:02,875
the conditions of Commissioner Welch and the applicant.

2703
02:30:02,875 --> 02:30:04,333
That's what I'm asking you, and I'm

2704
02:30:04,333 --> 02:30:07,933
going to make the motion thereafter.

2705
02:30:09,700 --> 02:30:09,361
>> If you are reiterating what is listed,

2706
02:30:09,361 --> 02:30:11,318
you don't have to specify that as an additional condition

2707
02:30:11,318 --> 02:30:11,921
of approval.

2708
02:30:11,921 --> 02:30:13,880
It's already specified here.

2709
02:30:13,880 --> 02:30:14,424
You just vote on it.

2710
02:30:14,424 --> 02:30:18,343
What you are doing is modifying that in some way -- for example,

2711
02:30:18,343 --> 02:30:22,677
the way that Commissioner Welch mentioned approximately one inch

2712
02:30:22,677 --> 02:30:26,277
instead of, for example, 2 or 3 --

2713
02:30:27,589 --> 02:30:29,839
because I know the state requirements are at least one

2714
02:30:29,839 --> 02:30:30,339
inch.

2715
02:30:30,339 --> 02:30:34,539
You want to specify approximately one inch,

2716
02:30:36,133 --> 02:30:40,405
so that way there's no question that what you really

2717
02:30:40,405 --> 02:30:42,197
intend is that it be limited, then that way

2718
02:30:42,197 --> 02:30:44,197
there's no modification.

2719
02:30:47,227 --> 02:30:49,227
>> Hold on, Commissioner.

2720
02:30:50,493 --> 02:30:51,573
>> I apologize.

2721
02:30:51,573 --> 02:30:56,710
I thought you wanted me to make a motion.

2722
02:30:56,710 --> 02:30:58,293
>> But then I wanted to say something.

2723
02:30:58,293 --> 02:31:04,293
I think the nickel and dime-Ing of this inch --

2724
02:31:04,974 --> 02:31:05,891
I'm a little confused.

2725
02:31:05,891 --> 02:31:07,559
I'm blown away that we're talking about it like this.

2726
02:31:07,559 --> 02:31:08,453
You showed the window.

2727
02:31:08,453 --> 02:31:09,799
You showed the space of the window.

2728
02:31:09,799 --> 02:31:11,924
I'm in full support of you using that little window

2729
02:31:11,924 --> 02:31:14,666
to advertise and push the hours of this pharmacy.

2730
02:31:14,666 --> 02:31:20,262
I think what we are doing here is something that we are always

2731
02:31:20,262 --> 02:31:25,558
told not to do -- design from the dais, in a way --

2732
02:31:25,558 --> 02:31:26,650
but it's really --

2733
02:31:26,650 --> 02:31:32,129
I just can't understand this nickel and dime-ing of the inch.

2734
02:31:32,129 --> 02:31:33,796
They've already limited to their window.

2735
02:31:33,796 --> 02:31:35,133
They're not putting a sign on the road.

2736
02:31:35,133 --> 02:31:36,104
They're not putting a massive thing.

2737
02:31:36,104 --> 02:31:37,492
You have a business to run.

2738
02:31:37,492 --> 02:31:42,380
Now I kind of feel like we are affecting your business,

2739
02:31:42,380 --> 02:31:46,613
in a way, or what could be of your business.

2740
02:31:46,613 --> 02:31:49,973
I'm not going to support a one inch -- if you have the three,

2741
02:31:49,973 --> 02:31:50,853
you have the three.

2742
02:31:50,853 --> 02:31:53,793
But I'm not going to sit up here and support a one inch dictation

2743
02:31:53,793 --> 02:31:55,376
of letters on a window.

2744
02:31:55,376 --> 02:31:57,376
I'm just not.

2745
02:31:59,626 --> 02:32:03,430
>> Can I turn to our staff and say, in terms of sub 3,

2746
02:32:03,430 --> 02:32:05,293
what is the condition as you have the exterior signage

2747
02:32:05,293 --> 02:32:07,293
language?

2748
02:32:08,546 --> 02:32:10,946
>> Our intent is --

2749
02:32:11,625 --> 02:32:12,447
>> Just give me the language, because I think that may pacify

2750
02:32:12,447 --> 02:32:13,403
-- it may or may not.

2751
02:32:13,403 --> 02:32:15,653
I'm just curious the language you want because I think

2752
02:32:15,653 --> 02:32:18,212
the mayor's sentiments are --

2753
02:32:18,212 --> 02:32:19,360
I get it.

2754
02:32:19,360 --> 02:32:23,692
I just want to know what your sub 3 is.

2755
02:32:23,692 --> 02:32:25,192
>> I've asked staff to distribute --

2756
02:32:25,192 --> 02:32:26,813
that may not be one inch letters.

2757
02:32:26,813 --> 02:32:29,213
I'd like something --

2758
02:32:31,309 --> 02:32:32,726
>> I'm not yelling about one inch.

2759
02:32:32,726 --> 02:32:37,332
I just want to see what Justin's third is to see --

2760
02:32:37,332 --> 02:32:39,229
that's just me.

2761
02:32:39,229 --> 02:32:41,620
>> I'm going to read you the sign condition.

2762
02:32:41,620 --> 02:32:43,933
Exterior identification signage for the pharmacy shall be

2763
02:32:43,933 --> 02:32:46,213
limited to the west facade of the building,

2764
02:32:46,213 --> 02:32:49,813
facing the parking lot, substantially in the location

2765
02:32:49,813 --> 02:32:53,826
depicted in the backup materials -- that's the red box --

2766
02:32:53,826 --> 02:32:55,283
submitted by the applicant.

2767
02:32:55,283 --> 02:32:58,706
All signage shall comply with the city's applicable sign

2768
02:32:58,706 --> 02:32:59,813
regulations.

2769
02:32:59,813 --> 02:33:03,981
Can I just say, I think the point of our --

2770
02:33:03,981 --> 02:33:08,886
our point in this condition is to limit the signage to that red

2771
02:33:08,886 --> 02:33:09,386
box.

2772
02:33:09,386 --> 02:33:13,356
So whether it's a minimum one inch or whatever it is,

2773
02:33:13,356 --> 02:33:14,981
it won't go outside of that red box.

2774
02:33:14,981 --> 02:33:17,981
That's your limitation on that.

2775
02:33:19,708 --> 02:33:19,999
>> Thank you for the clarification.

2776
02:33:19,999 --> 02:33:20,873
Here's my motion.

2777
02:33:20,873 --> 02:33:27,473
My motion is to amend item -- what item is it?

2778
02:33:28,875 --> 02:33:30,241
>> 19.

2779
02:33:30,241 --> 02:33:31,574
>> We've been here for a minute.

2780
02:33:31,574 --> 02:33:36,406
I move to amend item 19 to include conditions 1, regarding

2781
02:33:36,406 --> 02:33:39,916
stipulated hours of operation, to include item 2, regarding

2782
02:33:39,916 --> 02:33:41,291
the maximum size of the pharmacy,

2783
02:33:41,291 --> 02:33:46,691
to include item 3, as read, the exterior sign requirement,

2784
02:33:46,925 --> 02:33:50,218
and to add sub 4, the connectivity with the police

2785
02:33:50,218 --> 02:33:52,930
department, as read previously and stipulated

2786
02:33:52,930 --> 02:33:53,930
to by the applicant.

2787
02:33:53,930 --> 02:33:59,374
I move to amend the item to include those four items.

2788
02:33:59,374 --> 02:34:00,791
>> Second.

2789
02:34:00,791 --> 02:34:03,922
>> Just to clarify -- we've passed this out --

2790
02:34:03,922 --> 02:34:08,927
this is substantially similar to what the sign will be.

2791
02:34:08,927 --> 02:34:10,302
>> Listen, I voted yes last time.

2792
02:34:10,302 --> 02:34:15,241
I'm not the one you've got to talk to.

2793
02:34:15,241 --> 02:34:18,313
>> As I look at this, I realize it can't be one inch letters

2794
02:34:18,313 --> 02:34:20,313
because --

2795
02:34:22,457 --> 02:34:24,857
>> The red box, Steve.

2796
02:34:26,570 --> 02:34:28,570
[Overlapping speech]

2797
02:34:28,704 --> 02:34:33,504
>> The hour is getting long in the tooth.

2798
02:34:33,610 --> 02:34:35,652
>> I appreciate the -- acknowledging the red box.

2799
02:34:35,652 --> 02:34:41,574
What do we have to do for the -- what's our next step?

2800
02:34:41,574 --> 02:34:43,991
>> You vote on the amendment, then you vote on the overall

2801
02:34:43,991 --> 02:34:45,657
item.

2802
02:34:45,657 --> 02:34:49,257
>> Please call roll on the amendment.

2803
02:34:49,993 --> 02:34:51,993
>> (Calling roll)

2804
02:34:55,933 --> 02:35:00,469
>> Now we will -- we have to have a motion and approve

2805
02:35:00,469 --> 02:35:02,469
for number 19, right?

2806
02:35:05,624 --> 02:35:09,157
>> I move the item as amended for approval.

2807
02:35:09,157 --> 02:35:10,648
>> Second.

2808
02:35:10,648 --> 02:35:13,599
>> Moved by Commissioner Rydell, as amended,

2809
02:35:13,599 --> 02:35:17,199
and seconded by Vice Mayor Brodie.

2810
02:35:17,646 --> 02:35:20,460
Please call the roll.

2811
02:35:20,707 --> 02:35:22,707
>> (Calling roll)

2812
02:35:23,641 --> 02:35:24,183
>> Thank you.

2813
02:35:24,183 --> 02:35:26,183
Congratulations.

2814
02:35:27,506 --> 02:35:30,443
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor, vice mayor,

2815
02:35:30,443 --> 02:35:33,443
and members of the Commission.

2816
02:35:34,362 --> 02:35:37,962
>> Let's get those county approvals, Senator.

2817
02:35:40,475 --> 02:35:44,310
>> Okay, does anybody need a water break or anything?

2818
02:35:44,310 --> 02:35:44,980
You're good?

2819
02:35:44,980 --> 02:35:47,355
Agenda item number 20 -- we will now hear agenda item 20.

2820
02:35:47,355 --> 02:35:48,829
As I read the resolution title, I

2821
02:35:48,829 --> 02:35:51,966
will ask for a motion and a second to move the item.

2822
02:35:51,966 --> 02:35:56,766
A resolution approving a site plan application requested

2823
02:35:57,538 --> 02:36:00,815
by Jacquie Pedevillano on behalf of Walmart Stores East LP

2824
02:36:00,815 --> 02:36:04,373
for a 5932 square foot addition to the existing Walmart store

2825
02:36:04,373 --> 02:36:07,973
generally located at 5571 West Hillsboro Boulevard .

2826
02:36:15,893 --> 02:36:20,930
Is there a motion and a second?

2827
02:36:20,234 --> 02:36:25,634
Moved by Commissioner Rydell, seconded by vice mayor Brodie.

2828
02:36:34,613 --> 02:36:36,613
I don't know.

2829
02:36:37,430 --> 02:36:38,453
Everybody's cool?

2830
02:36:38,453 --> 02:36:43,253
We are calm, cool calm -- cool, collected?

2831
02:36:46,972 --> 02:36:48,780
Good.

2832
02:36:48,780 --> 02:36:50,597
Why wasn't the school put up first?

2833
02:36:50,597 --> 02:36:52,997
They have school tomorrow.

2834
02:36:53,752 --> 02:36:54,669
We'll get to you soon.

2835
02:36:54,669 --> 02:36:58,269
City attorney, are there any disclosures?

2836
02:36:59,673 --> 02:37:03,873
>> Does anyone have any disclosures for item 20?

2837
02:37:04,739 --> 02:37:08,939
>> City staff will now make a presentation.

2838
02:37:09,797 --> 02:37:14,597
>> Good evening mayor vice mayor commissioners, and staff.

2839
02:37:14,973 --> 02:37:17,653
For the record comment the Assistant Director

2840
02:37:17,653 --> 02:37:20,530
of the Resilient Design and Development Department.

2841
02:37:20,530 --> 02:37:26,653
As you mentioned, this is agenda item number 20, a site plan

2842
02:37:26,996 --> 02:37:29,413
application for the existing Walmart store located at 5571

2843
02:37:29,413 --> 02:37:31,213
West Hillsboro Boulevard.

2844
02:37:31,213 --> 02:37:34,213
The applicant, from Bowman consulting,

2845
02:37:41,522 --> 02:37:45,122
is seeking the site plan approval .

2846
02:37:50,362 --> 02:37:54,562
This addition supports Walmart's online pickup operations.

2847
02:37:54,909 --> 02:37:59,421
I, myself, have never used this type of service,

2848
02:37:59,421 --> 02:38:03,385
but it is definitely mainstream and providing the service

2849
02:38:03,385 --> 02:38:07,485
is something that more and more we see at many many stores.

2850
02:38:07,485 --> 02:38:10,549
This will allow, of course, the customers

2851
02:38:10,549 --> 02:38:12,841
to place orders online and pick up their groceries

2852
02:38:12,841 --> 02:38:16,293
or other items at a designated area

2853
02:38:16,293 --> 02:38:18,701
without even having to enter into the store.

2854
02:38:18,701 --> 02:38:22,959
The applicant is not just proposing this expansion.

2855
02:38:22,959 --> 02:38:26,319
They are also proposing to spruce up the site.

2856
02:38:26,319 --> 02:38:29,393
They are going to be increasing designated pickup

2857
02:38:29,393 --> 02:38:31,393
spaces from 26 to 31.

2858
02:38:31,773 --> 02:38:35,933
They are going to be improving the existing drive aisles,

2859
02:38:35,933 --> 02:38:40,405
the existing landscape islands out there that could definitely

2860
02:38:40,405 --> 02:38:44,758
use a refresh, some minor grading improvements, as well,

2861
02:38:44,758 --> 02:38:49,770
to improve our ADA parking spaces will also be part

2862
02:38:49,770 --> 02:38:54,607
of the site plan improvement -- new sidewalks, new striping,

2863
02:38:54,607 --> 02:38:57,321
new crosswalk areas, updated pavement markings,

2864
02:38:57,321 --> 02:38:59,933
and of course, they are going to be refreshing all

2865
02:38:59,933 --> 02:39:03,261
of the signage, not just on the building.

2866
02:39:03,261 --> 02:39:06,285
The applicant did hold, of course,

2867
02:39:06,285 --> 02:39:10,173
at their community outreach meeting back on April 30th,

2868
02:39:10,173 --> 02:39:14,373
2026, at the city's complex, where they presented

2869
02:39:16,626 --> 02:39:17,126
the project.

2870
02:39:17,126 --> 02:39:19,430
No one from the public attended their meeting.

2871
02:39:19,430 --> 02:39:21,653
Overall, staff finds that the site plan complies

2872
02:39:21,653 --> 02:39:25,485
with our comprehensive plan, the city's land development code,

2873
02:39:25,485 --> 02:39:28,423
and the minimum site plan review requirements

2874
02:39:28,423 --> 02:39:30,725
of the Land Development Code.

2875
02:39:30,725 --> 02:39:33,493
As a reminder, the Planning and Zoning Board

2876
02:39:33,493 --> 02:39:37,693
did recommend approval of this agenda item

2877
02:39:39,150 --> 02:39:42,150
in its regularly scheduled meeting.

2878
02:39:43,834 --> 02:39:45,525
This concludes staff's presentation.

2879
02:39:45,525 --> 02:39:52,725
Do you have anything to add call me -- to add, Justin?

2880
02:39:56,228 --> 02:39:59,509
We have representatives here this evening

2881
02:39:59,509 --> 02:40:02,509
to also make a presentation.

2882
02:40:04,370 --> 02:40:07,971
>> The applicant will now make its presentation.

2883
02:40:07,971 --> 02:40:08,826
>> Hello.

2884
02:40:08,826 --> 02:40:11,249
My name is Jacquie Pedevillano.

2885
02:40:11,249 --> 02:40:15,293
I think staff did a great job on presenting,

2886
02:40:15,293 --> 02:40:17,321
so I will not add further on the actual scope.

2887
02:40:17,321 --> 02:40:19,738
However, I did hear that there were a couple of questions,

2888
02:40:19,738 --> 02:40:23,413
so I did want to clarify before we go into the questions

2889
02:40:23,413 --> 02:40:24,130
themselves.

2890
02:40:24,130 --> 02:40:26,181
The store is open seven days a week.

2891
02:40:26,181 --> 02:40:28,773
The operating hours are 6:00 to 11:00,

2892
02:40:28,773 --> 02:40:32,373
with the liquor store being 9:00 AM.

2893
02:40:36,930 --> 02:40:38,305
Additionally, with the expansion,

2894
02:40:38,305 --> 02:40:41,660
we are revising some of the drive aisles.

2895
02:40:41,660 --> 02:40:44,773
So we have confirmed that the fire trucks are still

2896
02:40:44,773 --> 02:40:49,965
accessible within the area, and no life safety impacts

2897
02:40:49,965 --> 02:40:54,205
are proposed, aside from adding a door for the expansion.

2898
02:40:54,205 --> 02:40:57,845
The store operation itself is not proposed to be impacted,

2899
02:40:57,845 --> 02:40:59,529
nor are the entrances for the store

2900
02:40:59,529 --> 02:41:02,970
or the liquor box within the scope of area.

2901
02:41:02,970 --> 02:41:07,653
Within the scope of work, we are proposing LED lighting

2902
02:41:07,653 --> 02:41:10,373
in the expansion area itself.

2903
02:41:10,373 --> 02:41:16,373
This has been reviewed and approved within the DRC review,

2904
02:41:18,132 --> 02:41:24,132
in addition to, we are proposing surveillance within the area.

2905
02:41:25,857 --> 02:41:28,893
We are proposing also to convert 26 of the existing

2906
02:41:28,893 --> 02:41:31,293
spaces to 31 pickup spaces.

2907
02:41:41,416 --> 02:41:43,624
>> Does the staff have any questions of the applicant

2908
02:41:43,624 --> 02:41:46,240
or the applicant's witnesses?

2909
02:41:48,900 --> 02:41:50,197
>> Not at this time.

2910
02:41:50,197 --> 02:41:52,280
>> Does the applicant have any questions of staff?

2911
02:41:52,280 --> 02:41:53,756
I will now open the public hearing.

2912
02:41:53,756 --> 02:41:55,839
Are there any members of the public who would like

2913
02:41:55,839 --> 02:41:58,839
to speak on agenda item 20?

2914
02:42:10,133 --> 02:42:12,733
Public hearing is now closed.

2915
02:42:12,733 --> 02:42:15,930
Are there any closing remarks from either the city staff

2916
02:42:15,930 --> 02:42:17,930
or the applicant?

2917
02:42:18,942 --> 02:42:21,342
>> Not at this time.

2918
02:42:21,428 --> 02:42:21,928
>> Okay.

2919
02:42:21,928 --> 02:42:25,528
Members of the commission, any questions?

2920
02:42:29,213 --> 02:42:31,213
Brodie, too soon.

2921
02:42:31,306 --> 02:42:33,306
Commissioner Railey?

2922
02:42:35,579 --> 02:42:37,579
Oh, you sure?

2923
02:42:37,822 --> 02:42:39,822
Commissioner Welch?

2924
02:42:40,993 --> 02:42:43,576
>> You talked about the lighting in the expanded pickup spaces

2925
02:42:43,576 --> 02:42:46,933
there at the north end of the parking lot.

2926
02:42:46,933 --> 02:42:51,634
I was just curious -- you are adding additional lighting

2927
02:42:51,634 --> 02:42:57,634
there, in that spot, in that expanded area for pickup?

2928
02:43:02,175 --> 02:43:02,675
>> Correct.

2929
02:43:02,675 --> 02:43:05,675
1 or 2 light poles are proposed.

2930
02:43:07,451 --> 02:43:10,507
>> Okay, because it is dark there in the evening,

2931
02:43:10,507 --> 02:43:12,900
but you've already taken care of that.

2932
02:43:12,900 --> 02:43:13,465
And the surveillance cameras will

2933
02:43:13,465 --> 02:43:20,993
be on the driver's, as well as those persons coming to pick up?

2934
02:43:20,993 --> 02:43:22,993
>> Correct.

2935
02:43:23,526 --> 02:43:23,813
>> Well, I look forward to it.

2936
02:43:23,813 --> 02:43:26,105
It looks like one of your competitors that I won't name

2937
02:43:26,105 --> 02:43:29,159
does a very robust business for that kind of service.

2938
02:43:29,159 --> 02:43:31,229
I used one today for my first time.

2939
02:43:31,229 --> 02:43:34,795
It's very convenient, I have to say.

2940
02:43:34,795 --> 02:43:42,181
So you say you've taken care of the radius turning for the fire

2941
02:43:42,181 --> 02:43:42,695
trucks?

2942
02:43:42,695 --> 02:43:43,195
>> Correct.

2943
02:43:43,195 --> 02:43:46,195
That has been accounted for.

2944
02:43:46,593 --> 02:43:46,596
>> All right.

2945
02:43:46,596 --> 02:43:48,179
I look forward to seeing what happens.

2946
02:43:48,179 --> 02:43:50,179
Thank you.

2947
02:43:51,110 --> 02:43:53,110
>> Commissioner Railey?

2948
02:43:53,843 --> 02:43:54,510
>> Good evening.

2949
02:43:54,510 --> 02:43:58,978
Just one question, and I wasn't clear on this --

2950
02:43:58,978 --> 02:44:04,378
will you be able to order alcohol, as well,

2951
02:44:05,880 --> 02:44:07,880
pre -order alcohol?

2952
02:44:07,736 --> 02:44:11,336
And if so, verification of age?

2953
02:44:14,109 --> 02:44:14,790
>> Within this pickup operation, I do not believe so.

2954
02:44:14,790 --> 02:44:16,582
I believe it would be a separate operation.

2955
02:44:16,582 --> 02:44:20,782
It is not part of this scope.

2956
02:44:21,143 --> 02:44:23,143
>> Thank you.

2957
02:44:24,150 --> 02:44:26,150
>> Commissioner Rydell?

2958
02:44:27,153 --> 02:44:28,621
>> As the person whose district this sits in, totally supportive

2959
02:44:28,621 --> 02:44:29,437
of it.

2960
02:44:29,437 --> 02:44:34,237
Right now, you are running a project --

2961
02:44:34,369 --> 02:44:35,452
a little shotgun approach.

2962
02:44:35,452 --> 02:44:36,113
I think it's great.

2963
02:44:36,113 --> 02:44:37,530
I love this proposal.

2964
02:44:37,530 --> 02:44:38,666
I fully support this proposal.

2965
02:44:38,666 --> 02:44:42,866
You entered -- answered Commissioner Railey's question

2966
02:44:47,828 --> 02:44:48,701
about alcohol and.

2967
02:44:48,701 --> 02:44:50,701
They have dedicated spaces for the liquor store.

2968
02:44:50,701 --> 02:44:51,675
They do verify ID.

2969
02:44:51,675 --> 02:44:53,390
I think this is great.

2970
02:44:53,390 --> 02:44:55,903
I think adding lights I don't think is necessary,

2971
02:44:55,903 --> 02:44:58,841
but I love it, only because I know the area very well.

2972
02:44:58,841 --> 02:45:00,466
I think this is something that is going

2973
02:45:00,466 --> 02:45:01,559
to really add to the area.

2974
02:45:01,559 --> 02:45:03,226
I think the traffic pattern is terrible.

2975
02:45:03,226 --> 02:45:06,759
But I didn't sit up here and approve it.

2976
02:45:06,759 --> 02:45:10,893
I can qualm on that a little bit.

2977
02:45:10,893 --> 02:45:13,293
I thought you did?

2978
02:45:13,893 --> 02:45:14,643
Okay.

2979
02:45:14,643 --> 02:45:15,653
All right.

2980
02:45:15,653 --> 02:45:20,453
You give a dig, I give a dig.

2981
02:45:22,813 --> 02:45:25,146
I think what you were trying to do there is really good.

2982
02:45:25,146 --> 02:45:31,659
If you haven't got Walmart -- maybe you want to give it a try.

2983
02:45:31,659 --> 02:45:34,590
I support the project.

2984
02:45:36,947 --> 02:45:36,993
>> Sorry, I had to chuckle.

2985
02:45:36,993 --> 02:45:38,966
Any other questions from the dais?

2986
02:45:38,966 --> 02:45:40,953
All righty.

2987
02:45:40,953 --> 02:45:43,338
Now for comments and deliberation by the Commission

2988
02:45:43,338 --> 02:45:47,538
comment the Walmart store expansion site --

2989
02:45:50,453 --> 02:45:55,253
a motion and second to approve agenda item 20,

2990
02:45:55,509 --> 02:45:59,709
the Walmart store expansion site plan application?

2991
02:46:01,826 --> 02:46:03,826
>> Move it.

2992
02:46:04,376 --> 02:46:06,208
>> Moved by Commissioner Railey.

2993
02:46:06,208 --> 02:46:07,000
Thank you for that.

2994
02:46:07,000 --> 02:46:08,392
And seconded by the Vice Mayor.

2995
02:46:08,392 --> 02:46:10,792
Please call the roll.

2996
02:46:12,292 --> 02:46:14,292
>> (Calling roll)

2997
02:46:18,399 --> 02:46:19,529
>> Congratulations.

2998
02:46:19,529 --> 02:46:21,929
Oh, there you are.

2999
02:46:24,278 --> 02:46:25,742
Awesome.

3000
02:46:25,742 --> 02:46:27,742
>> Thank you all.

3001
02:46:28,176 --> 02:46:28,179
>> Thank you.

3002
02:46:28,179 --> 02:46:28,778
We will now hear agenda item 21.

3003
02:46:28,778 --> 02:46:30,195
After I read the resolution title,

3004
02:46:30,195 --> 02:46:33,804
I will ask for a motion and a second to move the item.

3005
02:46:33,804 --> 02:46:39,533
On a school night -- a resolution to approve the site

3006
02:46:39,533 --> 02:46:43,815
plan -- no, but the head of school has got to be there

3007
02:46:43,815 --> 02:46:46,199
tomorrow -- the resolution to approve the site plan

3008
02:46:46,199 --> 02:46:49,893
application requested by Christina on behalf of North

3009
02:46:49,893 --> 02:46:52,453
Broward Preparatory School for an approximately 56,500 square

3010
02:46:52,453 --> 02:46:56,930
foot addition to the existing school campus for additional

3011
02:46:56,930 --> 02:46:58,683
instructional and performance space for the property generally

3012
02:46:58,683 --> 02:47:02,883
located at 7600 Lyons Road comet legally --

3013
02:47:04,443 --> 02:47:11,643
legally described in exhibit A. Is there a motion and a second?

3014
02:47:17,630 --> 02:47:21,263
>> Are there any disclosures for this item?

3015
02:47:23,894 --> 02:47:29,294
>> Yes, we did meet with Christina and went through

3016
02:47:32,932 --> 02:47:34,932
a presentation.

3017
02:47:37,309 --> 02:47:38,813
>> Likewise.

3018
02:47:38,813 --> 02:47:44,213
And I was in the traffic headed -- yes,

3019
02:47:45,443 --> 02:47:48,443
southbound yesterday in the rainstorm.

3020
02:47:49,713 --> 02:47:55,713
I got a clear picture of what the traffic is.

3021
02:47:56,940 --> 02:48:00,893
>> I don't think it's required, but my wife is a teacher.

3022
02:48:00,893 --> 02:48:02,893
>> Thank you.

3023
02:48:03,292 --> 02:48:09,892
>> And I saw through the -- sat through the presentation, too.

3024
02:48:10,940 --> 02:48:12,648
>> And I sat through a presentation, too.

3025
02:48:12,648 --> 02:48:18,480
The city will now make a presentation on item 21.

3026
02:48:19,280 --> 02:48:19,570
>> Thank you.

3027
02:48:19,570 --> 02:48:23,106
This is a site plan application for approximately 56,400ft²

3028
02:48:23,106 --> 02:48:27,306
of additional instructional and performance space located

3029
02:48:27,623 --> 02:48:29,623
at 7600 Lyons Road.

3030
02:48:30,629 --> 02:48:37,229
The applicant -- I believe Scott Bachman is here tonight from

3031
02:48:40,139 --> 02:48:41,653
the same law firm representing --

3032
02:48:41,653 --> 02:48:44,933
is requesting site plan approval on behalf of the North Broward

3033
02:48:44,933 --> 02:48:46,133
Preparatory School.

3034
02:48:46,133 --> 02:48:51,133
This site plan is made up of three new buildings,

3035
02:48:51,133 --> 02:48:55,732
and those new buildings are going to be --

3036
02:48:55,732 --> 02:48:59,659
let's call them centrally southernly located in the site,

3037
02:48:59,659 --> 02:49:01,333
but not too far south.

3038
02:49:01,333 --> 02:49:06,133
I'll show you that later in. -- later.

3039
02:49:06,341 --> 02:49:08,713
It is proposed to be built in phases.

3040
02:49:08,713 --> 02:49:11,333
The first building, which is the 7700 square foot

3041
02:49:11,333 --> 02:49:14,414
building, building 1000, is the first phase.

3042
02:49:14,414 --> 02:49:20,414
That will function as a STEAM instruction and lab space.

3043
02:49:21,358 --> 02:49:24,660
The applicant has a presentation with a lot more of those details

3044
02:49:24,660 --> 02:49:24,836
I won't go into.

3045
02:49:24,836 --> 02:49:26,253
I will just be briefly describing.

3046
02:49:26,253 --> 02:49:28,733
The second building is building 1100,

3047
02:49:28,733 --> 02:49:31,661
which is proposed to be 26,500ft², approximately,

3048
02:49:31,661 --> 02:49:37,610
and that will function as a performing arts venue.

3049
02:49:37,233 --> 02:49:40,403
And building 1200 is proposed to be about 22,000ft²,

3050
02:49:40,403 --> 02:49:45,803
and it is designated for pre-K and kindergarten students,

3051
02:49:45,953 --> 02:49:50,773
but it has some additional, ancillary features to it typical

3052
02:49:50,773 --> 02:49:52,479
for a school --

3053
02:49:52,479 --> 02:49:55,733
a kitchen, a dining area, with a mix of regular classroom spaces.

3054
02:49:55,733 --> 02:49:57,853
It also includes an outdoor play space

3055
02:49:57,853 --> 02:50:00,759
on the south side of that building.

3056
02:50:00,759 --> 02:50:05,530
As you know, this is a very large campus, 70 acres,

3057
02:50:05,530 --> 02:50:07,359
approximately, and it has a zoning designation

3058
02:50:07,359 --> 02:50:12,878
of community facility F and a future land use designation

3059
02:50:12,878 --> 02:50:14,878
of residential estate 1.

3060
02:50:17,930 --> 02:50:20,706
Just as a very important point, because the applicant is

3061
02:50:20,706 --> 02:50:23,813
building this on undeveloped land of the property,

3062
02:50:23,813 --> 02:50:28,213
and this property has a number of environmental protections

3063
02:50:28,213 --> 02:50:34,213
and conservation lands -- these buildings are proposed to be

3064
02:50:34,575 --> 02:50:37,399
constructed outside of those conservation easements.

3065
02:50:37,399 --> 02:50:42,199
The plan does include enhanced setbacks and buffering.

3066
02:50:43,952 --> 02:50:46,810
It includes additional permanent parking spaces,

3067
02:50:46,810 --> 02:50:49,681
a new dedicated drop off lane.

3068
02:50:49,949 --> 02:50:52,858
As you know, capacity and storage of vehicles on the site

3069
02:50:52,858 --> 02:50:53,813
is an important issue.

3070
02:50:53,813 --> 02:50:57,179
As I said, a new outdoor learning and play area.

3071
02:50:57,179 --> 02:51:02,843
Like I just said, the traffic study review in this application

3072
02:51:02,843 --> 02:51:05,830
was a crucial component.

3073
02:51:05,830 --> 02:51:07,653
Staff and the applicant devoted a substantial amount

3074
02:51:07,653 --> 02:51:11,253
of time reviewing that and reviewing

3075
02:51:12,563 --> 02:51:14,539
all of the various options and even making

3076
02:51:14,539 --> 02:51:16,673
numerous conditions of approval related

3077
02:51:16,673 --> 02:51:19,673
to traffic enhancements and circulation,

3078
02:51:19,953 --> 02:51:25,413
not only on site, but even off site in the public right of way.

3079
02:51:25,413 --> 02:51:29,130
Those are listed as the conditions.

3080
02:51:31,154 --> 02:51:35,354
The city's transportation manager led that effort.

3081
02:51:35,881 --> 02:51:37,573
He's also here tonight for any questions

3082
02:51:37,573 --> 02:51:40,627
and for assistance with questions related to our review.

3083
02:51:40,627 --> 02:51:46,462
I know the traffic engineer is here tonight, as well.

3084
02:51:46,462 --> 02:51:51,862
The preserve along Northwest 74th will be cleaned up,

3085
02:51:52,964 --> 02:51:56,389
and just like with all the other applications that we have

3086
02:51:56,389 --> 02:51:58,813
in these large sites, when there's undeveloped land

3087
02:51:58,813 --> 02:52:04,213
and there's trees and a preserve, there's usually --

3088
02:52:05,238 --> 02:52:07,613
most likely here, as well -- exotic and invasive species.

3089
02:52:07,613 --> 02:52:13,613
When construction occurs -- you see that happening in Main

3090
02:52:14,288 --> 02:52:16,736
Street -- they will go in, as required by Broward County,

3091
02:52:16,736 --> 02:52:18,653
they have to clear out those exotic invasives.

3092
02:52:18,653 --> 02:52:21,173
That allows the native species to grow in.

3093
02:52:21,173 --> 02:52:24,450
With respect to Northwest 74th Avenue,

3094
02:52:24,450 --> 02:52:26,733
there's a condition to even enhance the remaining landscape

3095
02:52:26,733 --> 02:52:31,597
buffer between the roadway and the southern play area

3096
02:52:31,597 --> 02:52:34,288
and buildings of the school to ensure that we just maintain

3097
02:52:34,288 --> 02:52:38,530
that rural character of 74th Street in that neighborhood

3098
02:52:38,530 --> 02:52:42,988
and to maintain that buffer and to even beef it up a little bit

3099
02:52:42,988 --> 02:52:46,607
after they clear it out and they install their chain link fence.

3100
02:52:46,607 --> 02:52:48,232
And new trees will be planted in there.

3101
02:52:48,232 --> 02:52:49,732
There's a condition related to that.

3102
02:52:49,732 --> 02:52:51,653
The applicant did hold a community meeting.

3103
02:52:51,653 --> 02:52:53,219
That was back in February.

3104
02:52:53,219 --> 02:52:54,866
It was at the school.

3105
02:52:54,866 --> 02:52:57,733
They did have numerous members of the community attend,

3106
02:52:57,733 --> 02:52:59,661
as well.

3107
02:52:59,661 --> 02:53:01,453
That summary and the presentation materials

3108
02:53:01,453 --> 02:53:03,571
for that meeting are in the backup.

3109
02:53:03,571 --> 02:53:07,325
Planning and Zoning Board had a public hearing on July 8th

3110
02:53:07,325 --> 02:53:08,975
on the same application.

3111
02:53:08,975 --> 02:53:11,375
That was approved unanimously.

3112
02:53:12,787 --> 02:53:15,341
Staff's findings are that the site plan complies

3113
02:53:15,341 --> 02:53:19,513
with the city's Land Development Code, the minimum site plan

3114
02:53:19,513 --> 02:53:21,773
review requirements in the Land Development Code,

3115
02:53:21,773 --> 02:53:25,880
the Esthetic design review requirements, and the city's

3116
02:53:25,880 --> 02:53:26,672
Comprehensive Plan.

3117
02:53:26,672 --> 02:53:28,972
That concludes staff's presentation.

3118
02:53:28,972 --> 02:53:30,972
Thank you.

3119
02:53:32,750 --> 02:53:32,617
>> Thank you.

3120
02:53:32,617 --> 02:53:36,817
The applicant will now make their presentation.

3121
02:53:37,965 --> 02:53:38,632
>> Good evening.

3122
02:53:38,632 --> 02:53:45,232
For the record, Christina -- it's a pleasure to be here

3123
02:53:47,170 --> 02:53:49,253
before you this evening on behalf of North Broward

3124
02:53:49,253 --> 02:53:50,450
Preparatory School.

3125
02:53:50,450 --> 02:53:51,853
I think everybody is probably very

3126
02:53:51,853 --> 02:53:54,529
familiar with the location of North Broward Preparatory

3127
02:53:54,529 --> 02:53:55,290
School.

3128
02:53:55,290 --> 02:53:58,400
It's on the north end of the city,

3129
02:53:58,400 --> 02:54:02,204
on the east side of Lyons Road.

3130
02:54:02,673 --> 02:54:06,369
It is roughly 70 acres, and it has

3131
02:54:06,369 --> 02:54:09,629
been operating as a preparatory school, a private school,

3132
02:54:09,629 --> 02:54:11,973
for several decades at this point.

3133
02:54:11,973 --> 02:54:15,173
The area -- I just realized my presentation

3134
02:54:15,173 --> 02:54:21,173
wasn't on the screen -- are you -- oh, perfect.

3135
02:54:23,890 --> 02:54:24,110
Thank you.

3136
02:54:24,110 --> 02:54:28,283
So the area we are seeking to develop with this application

3137
02:54:28,283 --> 02:54:32,493
is identified by the green box on the aerial.

3138
02:54:32,493 --> 02:54:37,583
I think it was referenced as centrally and southernly

3139
02:54:37,583 --> 02:54:41,373
located, which I think is very appropriate.

3140
02:54:41,373 --> 02:54:45,433
It's on the south side of the access road that's

3141
02:54:45,433 --> 02:54:47,517
looping internally to campus.

3142
02:54:47,517 --> 02:54:51,186
It is flagged by two conservation easements.

3143
02:54:51,186 --> 02:54:52,946
There's existing conservation easements

3144
02:54:52,946 --> 02:54:55,717
that were put in place in 2000 and 2004.

3145
02:54:55,717 --> 02:55:00,261
Those are identified by the blue dashed lines.

3146
02:55:00,261 --> 02:55:03,179
Those conservation easements are not changing.

3147
02:55:03,179 --> 02:55:07,413
There is one that is almost immediately adjacent

3148
02:55:07,413 --> 02:55:09,541
to the development area.

3149
02:55:09,541 --> 02:55:13,909
We have been coordinating with Broward County already related

3150
02:55:13,909 --> 02:55:18,109
to the proposed development plan's construction activities,

3151
02:55:20,793 --> 02:55:23,293
to ensure that this project isn't going to negatively impact

3152
02:55:23,293 --> 02:55:24,911
that conservation easement area.

3153
02:55:24,911 --> 02:55:30,671
In addition, it's about 300ft from the east property line,

3154
02:55:30,671 --> 02:55:36,233
and the buildings will be located at least 100ft from

3155
02:55:36,233 --> 02:55:38,898
the south property line along 74.

3156
02:55:38,898 --> 02:55:45,498
So this is a version of kind of the master plan.

3157
02:55:45,566 --> 02:55:48,753
We've been showing a master plan with various applications

3158
02:55:48,753 --> 02:55:52,953
over the last probably 15 or so years,

3159
02:55:54,290 --> 02:55:58,353
starting with when we came through with the rezoning, then

3160
02:55:58,353 --> 02:56:01,666
the Global Wellness Center, and more recently,

3161
02:56:01,666 --> 02:56:04,666
the residential village, always kind

3162
02:56:05,487 --> 02:56:06,904
of intending to ensure the city is

3163
02:56:06,904 --> 02:56:11,640
aware of what's on the horizon for the school.

3164
02:56:11,640 --> 02:56:14,192
They are obviously continuing to invest in their students,

3165
02:56:14,192 --> 02:56:17,106
in their school, and in their programing.

3166
02:56:17,106 --> 02:56:21,490
So this essentially shows the various locations

3167
02:56:21,490 --> 02:56:25,850
of the buildings and their intended use.

3168
02:56:25,850 --> 02:56:31,850
So the most northern building is intended for STEAM, science,

3169
02:56:33,445 --> 02:56:35,753
tech, engineering, art, math.

3170
02:56:35,753 --> 02:56:38,930
This is really kind of an innovative use for the school

3171
02:56:38,930 --> 02:56:38,613
programing.

3172
02:56:38,613 --> 02:56:40,563
It's intended for aviation.

3173
02:56:40,563 --> 02:56:45,363
It's intended for robotics -- really innovative technical

3174
02:56:46,740 --> 02:56:49,198
elements and programing that will be available to students.

3175
02:56:49,198 --> 02:56:53,398
Towards the center is their performance space,

3176
02:56:54,814 --> 02:56:56,814
an arts space.

3177
02:56:58,153 --> 02:57:00,843
It's not just kind of intended for various performances.

3178
02:57:00,843 --> 02:57:03,199
It does have classroom facilities,

3179
02:57:03,199 --> 02:57:07,999
areas for set building, areas for music classes,

3180
02:57:08,103 --> 02:57:10,949
dance studios, things along those lines.

3181
02:57:10,949 --> 02:57:13,869
It also does include a performance area

3182
02:57:13,869 --> 02:57:18,925
that can be used for various functions with about 300 seats.

3183
02:57:18,925 --> 02:57:23,935
So whether it's a grade-level performance, maybe a small dance

3184
02:57:23,935 --> 02:57:25,643
performance, something along those lines,

3185
02:57:25,643 --> 02:57:28,295
there is a facility that can accommodate that on campus

3186
02:57:28,295 --> 02:57:29,293
with this proposal.

3187
02:57:29,293 --> 02:57:32,930
And then on the south end, there's

3188
02:57:32,930 --> 02:57:34,493
the Early Childhood Center.

3189
02:57:35,775 --> 02:57:38,333
That's intended for pre-K and kindergarten.

3190
02:57:38,333 --> 02:57:44,739
So here is a more detailed view of that site plan.

3191
02:57:44,739 --> 02:57:48,339
Again, building 1 is your STEAM building.

3192
02:57:52,190 --> 02:57:56,219
Your performance building is building 2, about 26,000ft².

3193
02:57:56,297 --> 02:57:59,333
Then on the southern end, there's the Early Childhood

3194
02:57:59,333 --> 02:58:02,333
Center, which is about 25,000ft².

3195
02:58:03,793 --> 02:58:09,127
In addition, you can see, on the south end, along 74th,

3196
02:58:09,127 --> 02:58:12,127
there is that 100 foot setback.

3197
02:58:12,315 --> 02:58:15,709
Then there's a minimum 50 foot native species buffer.

3198
02:58:15,709 --> 02:58:21,709
This is what Mr. Profit was alluding to a previously.

3199
02:58:21,968 --> 02:58:25,973
We are committing to maintain 50ft of that natural preserve

3200
02:58:25,973 --> 02:58:26,773
area.

3201
02:58:26,773 --> 02:58:30,303
As we know, sometimes when exotics and invasives

3202
02:58:30,303 --> 02:58:34,930
are removed, it can look more sparse than what

3203
02:58:34,930 --> 02:58:35,421
was there previously.

3204
02:58:35,421 --> 02:58:41,513
And so our team has prepared plans to replant that area with

3205
02:58:41,513 --> 02:58:46,693
additional native species, so in line with kind of what you are

3206
02:58:46,693 --> 02:58:51,933
seeing out there currently that would survive in the kind

3207
02:58:51,933 --> 02:58:54,853
of understory areas and with the trees that are there and then

3208
02:58:54,853 --> 02:58:56,957
plant in the sparse areas, as well,

3209
02:58:56,957 --> 02:59:02,813
to really maintain that buffer and that character along 74th.

3210
02:59:02,813 --> 02:59:08,213
So this is showing kind of an isometric graphic

3211
02:59:09,213 --> 02:59:11,213
of the buildings.

3212
02:59:11,931 --> 02:59:15,930
On the left hand side of the screen,

3213
02:59:15,930 --> 02:59:17,493
that's your STEAM building.

3214
02:59:21,750 --> 02:59:23,533
The center is your performing arts space, towards the right

3215
02:59:23,533 --> 02:59:25,173
is the Early Childhood Center.

3216
02:59:25,173 --> 02:59:29,410
You can see, we kept the scale low towards the ends to keep it

3217
02:59:29,410 --> 02:59:34,224
in line with the campus so that views are protected from 74th.

3218
02:59:34,224 --> 02:59:38,143
The taller portions of the building, where they are housing

3219
02:59:38,143 --> 02:59:39,925
mainly set design areas, things that

3220
02:59:39,925 --> 02:59:44,490
need more space, that's kind of flanked in the middle, where it

3221
02:59:44,490 --> 02:59:47,490
is screened internal to campus.

3222
02:59:48,213 --> 02:59:52,466
And then our architectural team looked at various case studies

3223
02:59:52,466 --> 02:59:56,242
at other schools that are successful in terms

3224
02:59:56,242 --> 03:00:00,442
of really innovative kind of construction methods.

3225
03:00:00,790 --> 03:00:03,599
Being a school that is in Operation,

3226
03:00:03,599 --> 03:00:06,897
it is important to create as little disruption to campus

3227
03:00:06,897 --> 03:00:09,273
as possible with construction activities.

3228
03:00:09,273 --> 03:00:15,778
The lower school is located just across to the west a little bit.

3229
03:00:15,778 --> 03:00:22,378
So we want to try and avoid having large concrete trucks

3230
03:00:22,469 --> 03:00:27,629
on campus and things of that nature that take more time,

3231
03:00:27,629 --> 03:00:31,300
and again, cause more disruption to the classes and activities

3232
03:00:31,300 --> 03:00:32,946
that are going on on campus.

3233
03:00:32,946 --> 03:00:37,402
Our team looked at innovative ways to do that,

3234
03:00:37,402 --> 03:00:39,559
and Metal Buildings was kind of the option

3235
03:00:39,559 --> 03:00:42,930
that they found to be successful in other schools.

3236
03:00:42,930 --> 03:00:44,444
Here are some case studies as to how

3237
03:00:44,444 --> 03:00:47,741
that's been implemented in award winning ways.

3238
03:00:47,741 --> 03:00:52,901
So using this inspiration, our team came up with these graphics

3239
03:00:52,901 --> 03:00:57,661
to play with various elements in terms of the roofing,

3240
03:00:57,661 --> 03:01:02,823
in terms of textures, setbacks, things along those lines

3241
03:01:02,823 --> 03:01:07,230
that really create interest in the design.

3242
03:01:08,543 --> 03:01:14,543
And here's another graphic of what that STEAM building would

3243
03:01:14,573 --> 03:01:16,573
look like.

3244
03:01:17,453 --> 03:01:20,463
And then in terms of the arts building,

3245
03:01:20,463 --> 03:01:24,786
we thought it actually allows for really innovative

3246
03:01:24,786 --> 03:01:27,485
opportunity for some sort of mural

3247
03:01:27,485 --> 03:01:32,173
that perhaps students would be able to participate

3248
03:01:32,173 --> 03:01:34,173
in designing.

3249
03:01:34,693 --> 03:01:37,213
This shows you an option that could be incorporated

3250
03:01:37,213 --> 03:01:38,241
into that building.

3251
03:01:38,241 --> 03:01:41,781
I think that's really exciting for the students that

3252
03:01:41,781 --> 03:01:46,581
are focused on arts programing at the campus.

3253
03:01:46,613 --> 03:01:49,660
This just shows some compatibility

3254
03:01:49,660 --> 03:01:52,666
with the existing buildings on campus.

3255
03:01:55,311 --> 03:02:00,385
And then in terms of traffic, Mr. Profit touched upon this,

3256
03:02:00,385 --> 03:02:03,733
as well -- we spent much time going over potential traffic

3257
03:02:03,733 --> 03:02:08,429
improvements that can help the situation on Lyons Road.

3258
03:02:08,429 --> 03:02:11,930
I understand Tuesday with the lightning storm

3259
03:02:11,930 --> 03:02:15,925
and delayed dismissal, it was a little bit more of an impact

3260
03:02:15,925 --> 03:02:17,689
than on other days.

3261
03:02:17,689 --> 03:02:20,730
But we have identified a handful of improvements

3262
03:02:20,730 --> 03:02:25,473
that the school is committed to making, subject, obviously,

3263
03:02:27,255 --> 03:02:30,533
to approval and permitting by Broward County,

3264
03:02:30,533 --> 03:02:34,484
and in one instance, Palm Beach County, as well.

3265
03:02:34,484 --> 03:02:38,269
As you are going from the north, moving south into campus,

3266
03:02:38,269 --> 03:02:45,469
this is the main access at 75th, so the more southern access

3267
03:02:46,273 --> 03:02:46,773
into campus.

3268
03:02:46,773 --> 03:02:48,389
There is an existing turn lane there.

3269
03:02:48,389 --> 03:02:54,214
We have identified the ability to add about 200ft of storage

3270
03:02:54,214 --> 03:03:00,257
into that turn lane, so we can expand that and are including

3271
03:03:00,257 --> 03:03:04,723
that as a condition of approval that the school is agreeable

3272
03:03:04,723 --> 03:03:06,303
to doing.

3273
03:03:06,303 --> 03:03:09,721
Similarly, on the northern entry into campus,

3274
03:03:09,721 --> 03:03:13,141
there is an existing turn lane that

3275
03:03:13,141 --> 03:03:15,461
stops well before the canal.

3276
03:03:15,461 --> 03:03:19,283
That turn lane is very limited right now.

3277
03:03:19,283 --> 03:03:24,793
And we had our team discuss internally double our traffic

3278
03:03:24,793 --> 03:03:28,451
engineers with their bridge consultants and structural

3279
03:03:28,451 --> 03:03:32,693
engineers -- to ensure that the turn lane expansion would be

3280
03:03:32,693 --> 03:03:34,443
feasible across a bridge such as this one.

3281
03:03:34,443 --> 03:03:37,530
They looked at it and determined that,

3282
03:03:37,530 --> 03:03:43,653
it is feasible to add 350ft of storage in this location,

3283
03:03:46,323 --> 03:03:47,240
which is very sizable.

3284
03:03:47,240 --> 03:03:50,781
That will help, again, get vehicles coming to campus

3285
03:03:50,781 --> 03:03:53,430
from the north into those turn lanes and into campus

3286
03:03:53,430 --> 03:03:57,843
and have less impacts to Lyons Road itself.

3287
03:03:59,642 --> 03:04:02,602
On the southern portion of Lyons Road,

3288
03:04:02,602 --> 03:04:05,224
going north towards campus, there

3289
03:04:05,224 --> 03:04:06,599
are three different intersections

3290
03:04:06,599 --> 03:04:12,184
that we have identified that can have kind of do not

3291
03:04:12,184 --> 03:04:14,184
block signage proposed.

3292
03:04:14,504 --> 03:04:17,743
Again, that is just ensure that people living

3293
03:04:17,743 --> 03:04:22,673
in those communities can safely get through the intersections,

3294
03:04:22,673 --> 03:04:25,570
aren't constantly blocked by the traffic,

3295
03:04:25,570 --> 03:04:31,570
and allow for that free movement a little bit better.

3296
03:04:31,493 --> 03:04:36,930
And then again, the team at North Broward Preparatory School

3297
03:04:36,930 --> 03:04:40,893
is always looking at kind of internal circulation,

3298
03:04:42,511 --> 03:04:45,573
and we've been discussing this , as well.

3299
03:04:45,573 --> 03:04:48,805
This shows you the various loops for drop

3300
03:04:48,805 --> 03:04:50,678
off within campus itself.

3301
03:04:50,678 --> 03:04:53,893
It's quite a bit of storage within campus.

3302
03:04:53,893 --> 03:04:58,549
The Early Childhood Center would add an additional loop,

3303
03:04:58,549 --> 03:05:01,669
and that is identified kind of by the orange dashed line

3304
03:05:01,669 --> 03:05:04,893
as to where those students would be dropped off,

3305
03:05:04,893 --> 03:05:06,286
separate from the lower school.

3306
03:05:06,286 --> 03:05:12,213
Then we also have the drop off and pickup times

3307
03:05:12,213 --> 03:05:16,157
in the table at the top right hand corner.

3308
03:05:16,157 --> 03:05:19,333
The lower school typically starts a little bit earlier,

3309
03:05:19,333 --> 03:05:23,465
gets out a little bit earlier, and then the middle and high

3310
03:05:23,465 --> 03:05:30,650
school students are staggered a little bit later in the day.

3311
03:05:30,893 --> 03:05:33,893
And that concludes my presentation.

3312
03:05:35,680 --> 03:05:38,493
Our whole team is here to answer any questions you may have,

3313
03:05:38,493 --> 03:05:41,755
whether it be traffic, architecture, school operations,

3314
03:05:41,755 --> 03:05:42,377
landscaping.

3315
03:05:42,377 --> 03:05:44,853
We are all available and appreciate your time

3316
03:05:44,853 --> 03:05:46,853
this evening.

3317
03:05:51,490 --> 03:05:53,869
>> City staff, any questions of the applicant?

3318
03:05:53,869 --> 03:05:57,469
Applicant, any questions of city staff?

3319
03:05:57,982 --> 03:05:59,399
I want to open the public hearing.

3320
03:05:59,399 --> 03:06:01,988
Are there any members of the public who would like

3321
03:06:01,988 --> 03:06:04,988
to speak on agenda item 21?

3322
03:06:06,409 --> 03:06:08,617
Once called upon, please come forward to the lectern,

3323
03:06:08,617 --> 03:06:11,617
unmute the microphone, identify yourself.

3324
03:06:11,961 --> 03:06:14,253
When you are done speaking, please mute the microphone.

3325
03:06:14,253 --> 03:06:17,253
We do have Ms. Gainsbourg.

3326
03:06:21,910 --> 03:06:23,910
Come on down.

3327
03:06:32,542 --> 03:06:33,112
>> Hi.

3328
03:06:33,112 --> 03:06:37,312
I affirm my name is Bella Gainsbourg.

3329
03:06:38,573 --> 03:06:46,373
If you look at the first photo that they had put up --

3330
03:06:51,643 --> 03:06:53,143
>> I can move it back on the screen,

3331
03:06:53,143 --> 03:06:57,343
but IT will actually move the slide.

3332
03:06:58,309 --> 03:07:00,309
Tag team effort.

3333
03:07:12,976 --> 03:07:15,101
>> My home is located right outside the yellow line

3334
03:07:15,101 --> 03:07:19,253
on the south entrance of the school.

3335
03:07:19,253 --> 03:07:23,213
I also have a school in Coconut Creek.

3336
03:07:23,213 --> 03:07:25,959
I love the growth that I have seen

3337
03:07:25,959 --> 03:07:28,959
since I have been here, 1993.

3338
03:07:32,352 --> 03:07:36,460
However, this has made my life and my family's life miserable.

3339
03:07:36,460 --> 03:07:40,418
We have to get out every morning to go to our school,

3340
03:07:40,418 --> 03:07:43,184
and sometimes it could take ten minutes for each

3341
03:07:43,184 --> 03:07:44,660
of our cars to get out.

3342
03:07:44,660 --> 03:07:46,795
We have five cars leaving in the morning.

3343
03:07:46,795 --> 03:07:52,795
I also -- I am part of a volunteer ambulance,

3344
03:07:54,725 --> 03:07:58,925
and even with my lights and sirens,

3345
03:07:59,591 --> 03:08:01,424
sometimes I can knock it out of my property.

3346
03:08:01,424 --> 03:08:08,240
I have spoken to Scott Bachman, with, so far, no results

3347
03:08:08,923 --> 03:08:11,699
and no way of improving that.

3348
03:08:11,699 --> 03:08:16,233
So as much I've been in Coconut Creek and vicinity for a long

3349
03:08:16,233 --> 03:08:16,733
time --

3350
03:08:16,733 --> 03:08:18,443
I love it.

3351
03:08:18,443 --> 03:08:20,843
I love the quiet.

3352
03:08:21,278 --> 03:08:22,653
For the past probably month, I've

3353
03:08:22,653 --> 03:08:26,970
been waking up to construction, going to sleep to construction.

3354
03:08:26,970 --> 03:08:34,170
My whole backyard is -- there's a big blue wall or something

3355
03:08:34,691 --> 03:08:35,441
right in the back.

3356
03:08:35,441 --> 03:08:39,740
We hear it all day and all night.

3357
03:08:39,740 --> 03:08:44,446
I think something should be done, as I am a direct neighbor,

3358
03:08:44,446 --> 03:08:46,446
for this construction.

3359
03:08:49,376 --> 03:08:55,976
>> Is there -- the construction she is talking about is not

3360
03:08:57,880 --> 03:08:59,488
a part of this.

3361
03:09:01,110 --> 03:09:05,211
>> There is construction going on there now.

3362
03:09:05,306 --> 03:09:07,641
>> Where is the --

3363
03:09:07,641 --> 03:09:09,141
>> Directly in the back of my house.

3364
03:09:09,141 --> 03:09:11,541
I'm on Lyons Road.

3365
03:09:13,223 --> 03:09:15,140
>> You are just south of the first yellow line

3366
03:09:15,140 --> 03:09:17,540
by the baseball field?

3367
03:09:21,873 --> 03:09:23,873
>> Correct.

3368
03:09:23,929 --> 03:09:24,429
>> Okay.

3369
03:09:24,429 --> 03:09:29,273
Justin, do we know if there's construction happening there?

3370
03:09:29,273 --> 03:09:29,437
>> I don't know if you're looking at an aerial photograph,

3371
03:09:29,437 --> 03:09:31,413
but if you move over to the east a little bit,

3372
03:09:31,413 --> 03:09:33,496
there are old single family homes that were bought

3373
03:09:33,496 --> 03:09:35,591
by the school years ago.

3374
03:09:35,591 --> 03:09:39,191
This area is used for parking.

3375
03:09:39,199 --> 03:09:41,797
What I assume the resident is talking about

3376
03:09:41,797 --> 03:09:45,397
is the demolition of those structures.

3377
03:09:45,807 --> 03:09:50,607
That is directly east and behind this property.

3378
03:09:51,908 --> 03:09:59,108
>> does that work have a time, like it can only start at 6:00

3379
03:10:00,973 --> 03:10:04,423
-- does it have that for them?

3380
03:10:04,423 --> 03:10:06,631
>> Construction activity has to comply with our code.

3381
03:10:06,631 --> 03:10:10,831
I believe it is 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

3382
03:10:16,686 --> 03:10:21,293
>> So 7:00 AM -- so if it's happening before 7:00 or after

3383
03:10:21,293 --> 03:10:24,893
6:00, you need to let us know.

3384
03:10:25,530 --> 03:10:25,940
All right?

3385
03:10:25,940 --> 03:10:28,324
That's what I would say to that.

3386
03:10:28,324 --> 03:10:31,930
I don't know -- because the construction for this

3387
03:10:31,930 --> 03:10:33,706
doesn't affect -- it's not really by your home.

3388
03:10:33,706 --> 03:10:35,373
But if there's current things happening,

3389
03:10:35,373 --> 03:10:38,186
and it's before 7:00 or after 6:00,

3390
03:10:38,186 --> 03:10:41,890
then we need to do something about it.

3391
03:10:41,890 --> 03:10:43,557
>> And we will confirm the time exactly.

3392
03:10:43,557 --> 03:10:45,821
I do know it's 7:00 in the morning,

3393
03:10:45,821 --> 03:10:47,240
nothing earlier than that.

3394
03:10:47,240 --> 03:10:49,573
But if there's construction activities operating outside

3395
03:10:49,573 --> 03:10:53,597
those hours, code enforcement -- you can call code enforcement,

3396
03:10:53,597 --> 03:10:57,197
and we will send someone out.

3397
03:10:58,789 --> 03:11:05,306
>> And what could be done that I could get out of my property?

3398
03:11:05,306 --> 03:11:06,417
>> Well, we are not going to address that right now.

3399
03:11:06,417 --> 03:11:08,125
We are going to move on with the hearing.

3400
03:11:08,125 --> 03:11:10,277
But we've taken notes.

3401
03:11:10,277 --> 03:11:15,677
We can certainly -- city manager, can you respond?

3402
03:11:17,556 --> 03:11:19,973
>> I think what I'm hearing is that your other significant

3403
03:11:19,973 --> 03:11:22,253
concern is accessing Lyons Road from your property

3404
03:11:22,253 --> 03:11:24,493
because of the traffic backup.

3405
03:11:24,493 --> 03:11:29,293
I believe -- would like to address that,

3406
03:11:35,449 --> 03:11:37,849
or their traffic engineer.

3407
03:11:39,289 --> 03:11:41,581
>> I'm happy to comment if now is the appropriate time.

3408
03:11:41,581 --> 03:11:43,582
We did speak with Ms. Gainsbourg on a couple

3409
03:11:43,582 --> 03:11:44,540
of different occasions.

3410
03:11:44,540 --> 03:11:46,693
We have regrouped with our team, with our traffic engineer

3411
03:11:46,693 --> 03:11:48,506
to figure out what options may be available.

3412
03:11:48,506 --> 03:11:49,881
We are looking into the potential

3413
03:11:49,881 --> 03:11:55,130
to put some do not block signage by her property.

3414
03:11:55,130 --> 03:11:59,751
She has some smaller signs already existing out there,

3415
03:11:59,751 --> 03:12:02,293
but something more substantial that the county could approve.

3416
03:12:02,293 --> 03:12:04,381
It would be subject to Broward County approval,

3417
03:12:04,381 --> 03:12:07,293
but we are happy to have that discussion with them

3418
03:12:07,293 --> 03:12:10,293
and look into that option.

3419
03:12:12,307 --> 03:12:14,307
>> Okay, thank you.

3420
03:12:15,893 --> 03:12:20,693
Anybody else like to speak on this item?

3421
03:12:22,198 --> 03:12:22,698
Okay.

3422
03:12:22,698 --> 03:12:24,673
Public hearing is now closed.

3423
03:12:24,673 --> 03:12:27,177
We will now hear closing remarks.

3424
03:12:27,177 --> 03:12:32,577
Do city staff or applicant have any closing remarks?

3425
03:12:35,572 --> 03:12:38,865
>> I'll just clarify the exact hours.

3426
03:12:38,865 --> 03:12:40,573
You cannot be having construction outside

3427
03:12:40,573 --> 03:12:47,173
of the hours of anytime before 7:00 AM or after 7:00 PM Monday

3428
03:12:53,351 --> 03:12:56,337
through Friday -- there's some other things in there.

3429
03:12:56,337 --> 03:12:58,337
Like I said, if there's things happening outside

3430
03:12:58,337 --> 03:13:00,333
of those hours, we have code enforcement,

3431
03:13:00,333 --> 03:13:06,789
and we would be glad to send someone out and investigate.

3432
03:13:06,789 --> 03:13:12,189
>> And Ms. Gainsbourg, you do have code enforcement's number?

3433
03:13:12,303 --> 03:13:14,303
Thank you.

3434
03:13:14,972 --> 03:13:19,394
Do any members of the commission have any questions?

3435
03:13:19,394 --> 03:13:22,580
I'm sure we all do.

3436
03:13:22,580 --> 03:13:27,600
We will start with the Commissioner at the end.

3437
03:13:27,600 --> 03:13:29,600
>> Thank you.

3438
03:13:29,998 --> 03:13:33,598
Christina, bring up the slide please.

3439
03:13:34,275 --> 03:13:35,900
There are a couple of different things.

3440
03:13:35,900 --> 03:13:36,637
Obviously I was at the community meeting.

3441
03:13:36,637 --> 03:13:38,804
I think I was the only one at the community meeting.

3442
03:13:38,804 --> 03:13:40,875
I'm not saying it like that.

3443
03:13:40,875 --> 03:13:43,813
I met with some of the other neighbors on 39th Street about

3444
03:13:43,813 --> 03:13:45,349
this and their concerns.

3445
03:13:45,349 --> 03:13:46,957
I will say this.

3446
03:13:46,957 --> 03:13:49,565
Their concerns are relevant for traffic.

3447
03:13:49,565 --> 03:13:51,613
They are not relevant for project.

3448
03:13:51,613 --> 03:13:55,813
So I think it's an important distinction.

3449
03:13:56,177 --> 03:13:57,802
The project that the school wants to do

3450
03:13:57,802 --> 03:14:01,706
is an upgrade to the school that, in terms of trips,

3451
03:14:01,706 --> 03:14:03,373
doesn't tremendously impact the project.

3452
03:14:03,373 --> 03:14:05,120
I will say, at the community meeting,

3453
03:14:05,120 --> 03:14:06,703
when something's came up with traffic,

3454
03:14:06,703 --> 03:14:08,948
the school was extraordinarily receptive.

3455
03:14:08,948 --> 03:14:10,730
Tall trees had some issues.

3456
03:14:10,730 --> 03:14:11,957
I think it speaks volumes that some of the HOA members

3457
03:14:11,957 --> 03:14:13,618
that have been very vocal are not here.

3458
03:14:13,618 --> 03:14:16,491
I will just voice to all of you come out

3459
03:14:16,491 --> 03:14:18,741
they had concerns because people are getting picked up

3460
03:14:18,741 --> 03:14:20,853
and dropped off in tall trees community.

3461
03:14:20,853 --> 03:14:24,181
The school proactively, even before this project,

3462
03:14:24,181 --> 03:14:26,893
hired an additional officer that was actually going there and not

3463
03:14:26,893 --> 03:14:30,759
allowing some of the Uber pick ups and drop offs.

3464
03:14:30,759 --> 03:14:36,159
They also changed the exterior of Tall Trees --

3465
03:14:38,130 --> 03:14:44,130
just so you know, people were pulling into Tall Trees

3466
03:14:44,512 --> 03:14:46,210
and going into North Broward.

3467
03:14:46,210 --> 03:14:48,713
The officers at the school did, they made it left to right.

3468
03:14:48,713 --> 03:14:49,873
You can't do that anymore.

3469
03:14:49,873 --> 03:14:53,133
The police officers disapproved at our --

3470
03:14:53,133 --> 03:14:58,981
we just approved at our at our last meeting -- to not do that.

3471
03:14:58,981 --> 03:15:00,439
I think that's a significant thing.

3472
03:15:00,439 --> 03:15:02,973
In regarding this, I was able to advocate --

3473
03:15:02,973 --> 03:15:05,443
I say it again, it's my district.

3474
03:15:05,443 --> 03:15:07,799
We were able to advocate at 71st.

3475
03:15:07,799 --> 03:15:10,475
There is a don't block the box that exists right now in.

3476
03:15:10,475 --> 03:15:13,923
If we are looking at the rightmost slide, that exists.

3477
03:15:13,923 --> 03:15:15,325
We advocated for it.

3478
03:15:15,325 --> 03:15:18,429
This is something about 18 months ago -- two years ago,

3479
03:15:18,429 --> 03:15:19,358
we advocated?

3480
03:15:19,358 --> 03:15:21,439
You helped me with that.

3481
03:15:21,439 --> 03:15:24,106
We actually started the process on 74th in regard to don't block

3482
03:15:24,106 --> 03:15:27,277
the box, as well, because of Preston Creek and some

3483
03:15:27,277 --> 03:15:28,222
of the other issues.

3484
03:15:28,222 --> 03:15:30,805
Regardless of whatever it is, I just want to let you know that

3485
03:15:30,805 --> 03:15:35,213
I've been advocating to the mayor in regarding the 74th

3486
03:15:35,213 --> 03:15:36,107
don't block the box.

3487
03:15:36,107 --> 03:15:37,565
Don't know anything about the 75th.

3488
03:15:37,565 --> 03:15:40,930
But if that's something you want me to advocate for,

3489
03:15:40,930 --> 03:15:41,653
I'm happy to advocate for it.

3490
03:15:41,653 --> 03:15:44,893
Regarding the comments, I think her house is actually

3491
03:15:44,893 --> 03:15:47,213
zoned as a community facility.

3492
03:15:47,213 --> 03:15:50,213
You have certain county zoning.

3493
03:15:53,641 --> 03:15:56,973
I don't to speak to that or debate that.

3494
03:15:56,973 --> 03:16:00,613
I fully support whatever she needs to move people along,

3495
03:16:00,613 --> 03:16:05,660
but again, what I notice with Tall Trees in terms

3496
03:16:05,660 --> 03:16:07,952
of addressing their issues, it was more traffic-related

3497
03:16:07,952 --> 03:16:10,413
that had nothing to do with the upgraded project.

3498
03:16:10,413 --> 03:16:12,323
That's my comments to that.

3499
03:16:12,323 --> 03:16:16,638
I met with the community, some of the stresses

3500
03:16:16,638 --> 03:16:18,130
from the North Broward community.

3501
03:16:18,130 --> 03:16:19,509
I'm not talking about the school.

3502
03:16:19,509 --> 03:16:21,795
I'm talking about the community --

3503
03:16:21,795 --> 03:16:24,771
was Tall Trees's positioned in terms of not having people

3504
03:16:24,771 --> 03:16:27,771
picked up and dropped off .

3505
03:16:29,828 --> 03:16:35,581
I will say to one of the other neighbors --

3506
03:16:35,581 --> 03:16:38,993
I give -- where is he?

3507
03:16:38,993 --> 03:16:39,930
He's over here in.

3508
03:16:39,930 --> 03:16:42,310
There was a neighbor that -- where any of you

3509
03:16:42,310 --> 03:16:45,167
CC'd on the emails about some of the issues?

3510
03:16:45,167 --> 03:16:50,567
There were construction issues in terms of power loss.

3511
03:16:50,801 --> 03:16:54,104
There were some issues in terms of the construction

3512
03:16:54,104 --> 03:16:55,146
that I have been very on.

3513
03:16:55,146 --> 03:16:57,396
If Sheila has, I don't know if she shared it with you.

3514
03:16:57,396 --> 03:16:59,900
I give the school credit because I

3515
03:16:59,900 --> 03:17:01,259
think the school did everything they could do fiscally

3516
03:17:01,259 --> 03:17:03,576
to help one of the neighbors.

3517
03:17:03,576 --> 03:17:10,776
Cristina, could you pull up the slide, at the aerial that Ms.

3518
03:17:10,892 --> 03:17:12,892
Was --

3519
03:17:13,206 --> 03:17:15,606
Ms. Gainsbourg was referencing?

3520
03:17:15,797 --> 03:17:18,197
You see that corner?

3521
03:17:18,855 --> 03:17:22,455
No, not there -- up, up.

3522
03:17:24,405 --> 03:17:25,234
Yeah, right there.

3523
03:17:25,234 --> 03:17:27,401
One of those houses, the school did all they can do.

3524
03:17:27,401 --> 03:17:29,484
I will say the construction is actually completed.

3525
03:17:29,484 --> 03:17:32,838
Construction was there, and now that plat is done.

3526
03:17:32,838 --> 03:17:38,653
I had a site visit with the team, and it was all done.

3527
03:17:38,653 --> 03:17:42,173
I think the school is doing all they

3528
03:17:42,173 --> 03:17:46,133
can do for the purposes of making accommodations

3529
03:17:46,133 --> 03:17:48,133
for the neighbors.

3530
03:17:48,433 --> 03:17:50,437
I support the project, in general.

3531
03:17:50,437 --> 03:17:57,637
I think the school brings an aspect to Coconut Creek that --

3532
03:17:58,119 --> 03:17:59,289
it brings people in.

3533
03:17:59,289 --> 03:17:59,672
That's what I will say.

3534
03:17:59,672 --> 03:18:01,797
I appreciate their willingness to continue to work.

3535
03:18:01,797 --> 03:18:04,173
I will want to talk about the berm real quick,

3536
03:18:04,173 --> 03:18:07,233
because I spoke to some of the neighbors Regarding --

3537
03:18:07,233 --> 03:18:10,210
and again, some of the neighbors I spoke to --

3538
03:18:10,210 --> 03:18:11,643
it is unincorporated Broward County,

3539
03:18:11,643 --> 03:18:13,893
so these are people that are technically not residents

3540
03:18:13,893 --> 03:18:15,173
of Coconut Creek.

3541
03:18:15,173 --> 03:18:17,701
However, they are within the constitutional boundaries

3542
03:18:17,701 --> 03:18:19,285
of Coconut Creek.

3543
03:18:19,285 --> 03:18:20,452
I will say --

3544
03:18:20,452 --> 03:18:24,656
I don't know the answer to this --

3545
03:18:24,656 --> 03:18:27,239
regarding the prospective berm, I know that we have this weird

3546
03:18:27,239 --> 03:18:30,530
thing with invasive trees versus not invasive trees.

3547
03:18:30,530 --> 03:18:33,384
I know whatever that is, I think --

3548
03:18:33,384 --> 03:18:34,633
I would like a robust berm.

3549
03:18:34,633 --> 03:18:36,713
What I don't want is us demoing something,

3550
03:18:36,713 --> 03:18:39,346
making them plant a brand new things, where there

3551
03:18:39,346 --> 03:18:41,973
is robust tree and vegetation life there,

3552
03:18:41,973 --> 03:18:43,973
understanding our code.

3553
03:18:44,463 --> 03:18:46,348
I think that's kind of a waste, and I

3554
03:18:46,348 --> 03:18:48,140
think it's detrimental to the neighborhood.

3555
03:18:48,140 --> 03:18:51,259
I don't know what I need to do to kind of get around that.

3556
03:18:51,259 --> 03:18:53,197
I'm not trying to suggest getting around it.

3557
03:18:53,197 --> 03:18:57,503
What I'm suggesting is very robust vegetation there.

3558
03:18:57,503 --> 03:18:58,654
Maybe it's invasive.

3559
03:18:58,654 --> 03:18:59,279
Maybe it's not.

3560
03:18:59,279 --> 03:19:00,764
I don't know the answer to that.

3561
03:19:00,764 --> 03:19:03,853
I hate tearing down a very robust berm and then saying,

3562
03:19:03,853 --> 03:19:05,933
hey call my plant a bunch of new things,

3563
03:19:05,933 --> 03:19:10,593
and we don't have the barrier that is necessarily needed.

3564
03:19:10,593 --> 03:19:11,933
That's my suggestions.

3565
03:19:11,933 --> 03:19:15,533
Those are my comments regarding that.

3566
03:19:16,433 --> 03:19:20,497
I'm very cognizant that the school, like all schools --

3567
03:19:20,497 --> 03:19:22,497
lion's --

3568
03:19:26,629 --> 03:19:29,300
Lyons Creek -- totally cognizant of that.

3569
03:19:29,300 --> 03:19:31,253
I think the neighbors have the right to have an issue.

3570
03:19:31,253 --> 03:19:33,709
As long as there is a response to the issue,

3571
03:19:33,709 --> 03:19:35,343
we can find a solution to the issue.

3572
03:19:35,343 --> 03:19:37,343
I give the school credit because they are adding

3573
03:19:37,343 --> 03:19:39,113
an officer that is handling it.

3574
03:19:39,113 --> 03:19:40,629
That's my position.

3575
03:19:40,629 --> 03:19:43,983
I'm open to any discussion or comments.

3576
03:19:43,983 --> 03:19:45,983
Thank you.

3577
03:19:49,824 --> 03:19:50,782
>> Thank you very much.

3578
03:19:50,782 --> 03:19:52,841
Can you go back to --

3579
03:19:52,841 --> 03:19:55,780
I got all of my questions answered

3580
03:19:55,780 --> 03:19:59,980
at the presentation, both before, with staff,

3581
03:20:00,773 --> 03:20:04,561
and then when you and all of the team came.

3582
03:20:04,561 --> 03:20:06,949
I have to point out some of the things

3583
03:20:06,949 --> 03:20:11,749
that I thought really went above and beyond,

3584
03:20:12,539 --> 03:20:14,164
at least what I was able to experience.

3585
03:20:14,164 --> 03:20:17,357
I was asking particularly about the neighbors, those

3586
03:20:17,357 --> 03:20:21,557
that were abutting where the construction would

3587
03:20:22,130 --> 03:20:23,503
be taking place.

3588
03:20:23,503 --> 03:20:27,703
Can you highlight the one mitigation that

3589
03:20:27,797 --> 03:20:30,797
was done, the one neighbor?

3590
03:20:36,359 --> 03:20:36,859
>> Yes.

3591
03:20:36,859 --> 03:20:38,734
I think you're referring to the same neighbor

3592
03:20:38,734 --> 03:20:43,251
that commissioner Rydell was referencing with the FPL issue.

3593
03:20:43,251 --> 03:20:48,573
I think we have in the back -- so the particular neighbor

3594
03:20:48,573 --> 03:20:53,239
that's being referenced is just on the south side of the yellow

3595
03:20:53,239 --> 03:20:56,839
line here, this home right here.

3596
03:20:59,533 --> 03:21:02,613
So when the two homes were demolished,

3597
03:21:02,613 --> 03:21:07,137
the plan was approved for a temporary parking

3598
03:21:07,137 --> 03:21:09,537
lot in that facility.

3599
03:21:11,421 --> 03:21:13,713
With respect to all of these projects, with the school,

3600
03:21:13,713 --> 03:21:15,460
parking is incredibly important.

3601
03:21:15,460 --> 03:21:16,306
We don't want to lose spaces.

3602
03:21:16,306 --> 03:21:18,184
It is a little bit of kind of chess moves

3603
03:21:18,184 --> 03:21:20,221
to find parking on campus.

3604
03:21:20,221 --> 03:21:21,813
When those two homes were demolished,

3605
03:21:21,813 --> 03:21:27,399
we were able to put temporary parking lots in this area.

3606
03:21:27,399 --> 03:21:34,599
The neighbor to the south, they had reached out to us --

3607
03:21:35,513 --> 03:21:38,720
actually, they were at the community meeting, as well --

3608
03:21:38,720 --> 03:21:41,530
and inquired as to what was going to be happening behind

3609
03:21:41,530 --> 03:21:42,273
their property.

3610
03:21:42,273 --> 03:21:45,130
We had multiple meetings with them

3611
03:21:45,130 --> 03:21:51,130
over the last several months in terms of their concerns

3612
03:21:51,530 --> 03:21:53,163
over the water quality of the canal,

3613
03:21:53,163 --> 03:21:56,763
over drainage running off into there.

3614
03:21:58,356 --> 03:22:00,420
We regraded the area.

3615
03:22:00,420 --> 03:22:01,753
We added additional landscaping.

3616
03:22:01,753 --> 03:22:07,753
More recently, we were proposing, I think at the time,

3617
03:22:07,794 --> 03:22:09,961
just kind of a chain link fence consistent with some

3618
03:22:09,961 --> 03:22:13,293
of the other fencing around campus.

3619
03:22:13,293 --> 03:22:16,357
And through those conversations, we actually

3620
03:22:16,357 --> 03:22:21,693
upgraded it to a shadow box wood fence, which is certainly more

3621
03:22:21,693 --> 03:22:22,818
appealing to them, as well.

3622
03:22:22,818 --> 03:22:24,853
They were very happy about those changes.

3623
03:22:24,853 --> 03:22:27,330
This shows some of those landscaping --

3624
03:22:27,330 --> 03:22:29,701
the additional landscaping in that area, as well.

3625
03:22:29,701 --> 03:22:33,448
But we worked very closely with them.

3626
03:22:33,448 --> 03:22:36,333
I thought perhaps I had a picture of the shadow box fence,

3627
03:22:36,333 --> 03:22:39,933
but I do not see that.

3628
03:22:41,729 --> 03:22:42,354
>> That's okay.

3629
03:22:42,354 --> 03:22:46,607
I think it was just poignant that, taking into consideration

3630
03:22:46,607 --> 03:22:51,407
the neighbors, the project for the temporary lot,

3631
03:22:51,436 --> 03:22:52,853
as well as what is being proposed.

3632
03:22:52,853 --> 03:22:59,321
When I ask about the enrollment, current and then what it would

3633
03:22:59,321 --> 03:23:04,721
cap at, it was 2,400, taking into account the new

3634
03:23:09,931 --> 03:23:13,531
construction and the traffic for Lyons.

3635
03:23:13,804 --> 03:23:16,560
I really like the idea of extending the turn lane,

3636
03:23:16,560 --> 03:23:18,893
because I didn't really appreciate it until I was in it,

3637
03:23:18,893 --> 03:23:24,893
and I was coming from Boca headed south on Lyons.

3638
03:23:25,333 --> 03:23:28,633
At 18th, once the light changed, I was in the left lane.

3639
03:23:28,633 --> 03:23:29,967
Then I was in the left lane.

3640
03:23:29,967 --> 03:23:33,488
Then I was in the left lane until I

3641
03:23:33,488 --> 03:23:34,655
realized what was happening.

3642
03:23:34,655 --> 03:23:39,513
I can truly appreciate how the stacking would definitely

3643
03:23:39,513 --> 03:23:41,913
help alleviate that situation.

3644
03:23:43,310 --> 03:23:46,501
Then coming from the south headed north,

3645
03:23:46,501 --> 03:23:49,501
traffic was almost to Hillsborough.

3646
03:23:49,713 --> 03:23:53,313
This was about 2:30 in the afternoon.

3647
03:23:55,879 --> 03:24:01,705
I did see it, and I can justify the "do not block

3648
03:24:01,705 --> 03:24:05,610
the intersections," because I was trying to get

3649
03:24:05,610 --> 03:24:07,610
into Hillsborough Plaza at their north entrance.

3650
03:24:07,610 --> 03:24:12,987
Most of the drivers are very courteous and let you in or out,

3651
03:24:12,987 --> 03:24:17,787
but I'm hoping that those true delineations ensure

3652
03:24:18,870 --> 03:24:22,833
that people are reminded to give others space.

3653
03:24:22,833 --> 03:24:26,333
The additional entrance into the North entry

3654
03:24:26,333 --> 03:24:28,793
and the staggering of the times that you are suggesting

3655
03:24:28,793 --> 03:24:33,340
for each one of the different levels, I think,

3656
03:24:33,340 --> 03:24:35,340
will help significantly.

3657
03:24:37,130 --> 03:24:40,613
I mean, it's definitely an improvement

3658
03:24:41,113 --> 03:24:44,113
over what is already there.

3659
03:24:45,380 --> 03:24:48,638
What's there looks stellar, of course.

3660
03:24:49,305 --> 03:24:51,393
I'm sure that this --

3661
03:24:51,393 --> 03:24:55,493
I was just surprised at the metal architect,

3662
03:24:55,493 --> 03:24:58,140
but you explained why it was going

3663
03:24:58,140 --> 03:24:59,598
to that type of construction rather

3664
03:24:59,598 --> 03:25:02,243
than typical construction that is around most of the campus

3665
03:25:02,243 --> 03:25:04,243
now.

3666
03:25:04,733 --> 03:25:10,733
One other thing, but I don't remember what it is.

3667
03:25:11,339 --> 03:25:17,339
Can you talk about the one condition of approval again,

3668
03:25:19,942 --> 03:25:21,862
Justin?

3669
03:25:21,862 --> 03:25:23,862
>> Which one?

3670
03:25:25,312 --> 03:25:27,962
>> Can you just reiterate them?

3671
03:25:27,962 --> 03:25:28,306
>> There's numerous conditions of approval.

3672
03:25:28,306 --> 03:25:30,586
I will give you the theme of some of them.

3673
03:25:30,586 --> 03:25:34,465
So the first one is a limitation on the number

3674
03:25:34,465 --> 03:25:36,745
of students, a maximum.

3675
03:25:36,745 --> 03:25:40,946
The second one deals with an annual evaluation of operational

3676
03:25:40,946 --> 03:25:43,946
circulation, the traffic circulation --

3677
03:25:44,563 --> 03:25:45,621
very important one.

3678
03:25:45,621 --> 03:25:48,790
That came out of all of the conclusions and recommendations

3679
03:25:48,790 --> 03:25:51,133
from the traffic study and the review.

3680
03:25:51,133 --> 03:25:56,533
A third one deals with the "do not block,"

3681
03:25:58,803 --> 03:26:01,178
the review agencies and their approvals of the extensions

3682
03:26:01,178 --> 03:26:03,856
of those turn lanes, as you just mentioned.

3683
03:26:03,856 --> 03:26:09,856
The fourth one is another one related to traffic improvements

3684
03:26:11,727 --> 03:26:15,258
and enhancements in the right of way.

3685
03:26:15,258 --> 03:26:21,232
The fifth one deals with the 15 foot right of way dedication

3686
03:26:21,232 --> 03:26:23,232
along 74th Avenue.

3687
03:26:25,969 --> 03:26:28,130
The other ones are just related to landscaping

3688
03:26:28,130 --> 03:26:31,195
and the DRC review conditions that remain

3689
03:26:31,195 --> 03:26:35,995
and the wood fence that you were discussing.

3690
03:26:39,272 --> 03:26:41,640
>> Anyway, I don't have any more questions.

3691
03:26:41,640 --> 03:26:43,753
I think you have gone to a great deal of effort and energy

3692
03:26:43,753 --> 03:26:49,910
to make the improvements on the campus with the least impact.

3693
03:26:49,910 --> 03:26:52,135
I know that you said the construction phases would

3694
03:26:52,135 --> 03:26:54,913
be during the time when school is not in session,

3695
03:26:54,913 --> 03:27:00,541
so it has the least impact to the academic efforts that

3696
03:27:00,541 --> 03:27:02,952
take place there, as well.

3697
03:27:02,952 --> 03:27:04,952
Is that right?

3698
03:27:06,646 --> 03:27:06,913
>> Some construction activities will need to occur during

3699
03:27:06,913 --> 03:27:10,144
the year, but the good thing about the metal buildings is,

3700
03:27:10,144 --> 03:27:13,901
a lot of it is constructed off campus and brought on.

3701
03:27:13,901 --> 03:27:17,501
So it expedites the construction process.

3702
03:27:20,462 --> 03:27:22,462
>> Thank you, Christina.

3703
03:27:23,679 --> 03:27:25,679
>> Thank you.

3704
03:27:26,117 --> 03:27:27,328
>> Hello again.

3705
03:27:27,328 --> 03:27:28,539
How are you?

3706
03:27:28,539 --> 03:27:29,872
I do have a couple of questions.

3707
03:27:29,872 --> 03:27:35,272
The staggered hours -- are they being initiated now?

3708
03:27:37,495 --> 03:27:38,165
>> Currently there are staggered drop off and pickup times.

3709
03:27:38,165 --> 03:27:40,503
It's something that the school is constantly evaluating.

3710
03:27:40,503 --> 03:27:46,593
They may continue to change for next year and into the future.

3711
03:27:46,593 --> 03:27:49,530
The school is certainly wanting to ensure

3712
03:27:49,530 --> 03:27:51,453
the operations are efficient.

3713
03:27:54,612 --> 03:27:55,945
>> So we are utilizing them now.

3714
03:27:55,945 --> 03:28:01,945
So the traffic is a reflection of staggered hours now?

3715
03:28:02,881 --> 03:28:03,381
>> Correct.

3716
03:28:03,381 --> 03:28:05,131
The high school starts at a different time

3717
03:28:05,131 --> 03:28:07,531
than the lower school.

3718
03:28:08,112 --> 03:28:13,351
>> I think it's great that you are advancing, progressing.

3719
03:28:13,351 --> 03:28:18,573
However -- and I mentioned it briefly, I think,

3720
03:28:18,573 --> 03:28:21,573
during our first discussion --

3721
03:28:23,169 --> 03:28:25,669
I would love to have seen a more permanent-looking building.

3722
03:28:25,669 --> 03:28:30,469
I get the vibe, looking at the pictures

3723
03:28:32,253 --> 03:28:37,653
of the drawings, the renderings, that it's almost temporary.

3724
03:28:40,675 --> 03:28:41,432
>> Perhaps I can go back to kind of those case studies we were

3725
03:28:41,432 --> 03:28:42,406
looking at.

3726
03:28:42,406 --> 03:28:45,521
Obviously when we have renderings, it does kind of look

3727
03:28:45,521 --> 03:28:47,343
a little bit more like that.

3728
03:28:47,343 --> 03:28:51,317
But here are some photographs of actual examples

3729
03:28:51,317 --> 03:28:54,773
of where these types of buildings were used.

3730
03:28:54,773 --> 03:28:58,619
I think, in these pictures, they do not look as temporary

3731
03:28:58,619 --> 03:29:01,619
as some of those renderings.

3732
03:29:03,551 --> 03:29:04,926
>> So there will be siding on it?

3733
03:29:04,926 --> 03:29:07,926
It won't just be facade?

3734
03:29:11,245 --> 03:29:11,251
>> Some of it is metal.

3735
03:29:11,251 --> 03:29:14,130
It's got different applications and different elements to it.

3736
03:29:14,130 --> 03:29:15,733
There is one area where I indicated

3737
03:29:15,733 --> 03:29:19,613
the intent would be to have students participate

3738
03:29:19,613 --> 03:29:23,694
in the creation of a mural that could go there that

3739
03:29:23,694 --> 03:29:26,133
would be for their art space.

3740
03:29:26,133 --> 03:29:29,733
There's variations in textures, in kind

3741
03:29:30,405 --> 03:29:33,109
of the undulation of the building,

3742
03:29:33,109 --> 03:29:39,709
in the gable roof, that kind of thing, to add character.

3743
03:29:40,478 --> 03:29:43,813
>> More usage of glass and more lighting inside -- great.

3744
03:29:43,813 --> 03:29:48,613
For the entertainment part of the arts building,

3745
03:29:49,533 --> 03:29:54,933
will there be sound barriers, panels within the interior

3746
03:29:55,930 --> 03:29:59,893
to kind of mute the sound from expanding?

3747
03:30:01,120 --> 03:30:01,512
>> Yes.

3748
03:30:01,512 --> 03:30:03,970
We have an acoustical consultant that has been reviewing it

3749
03:30:03,970 --> 03:30:04,997
for sound.

3750
03:30:04,997 --> 03:30:07,389
You want to ensure the acoustics inside

3751
03:30:07,389 --> 03:30:11,539
are captured the right way, as well, for those performances.

3752
03:30:11,539 --> 03:30:18,139
We have looked at that to ensure it is properly rated.

3753
03:30:20,280 --> 03:30:23,794
>> So that it doesn't escape the walls, either, right?

3754
03:30:23,794 --> 03:30:24,294
Okay.

3755
03:30:24,294 --> 03:30:28,829
And your time frame -- what are we looking at?

3756
03:30:28,829 --> 03:30:31,537
>> For construction? building 1, we are looking to get permits

3757
03:30:31,537 --> 03:30:33,870
within the next couple of weeks and get started on that.

3758
03:30:33,870 --> 03:30:37,793
The intent would be to get that open for the next school year.

3759
03:30:37,793 --> 03:30:41,993
Building 2, I believe -- or 2 and 3 --

3760
03:30:44,874 --> 03:30:47,466
we would be permitting maybe ten months or so from now.

3761
03:30:47,466 --> 03:30:49,453
That construction would follow basically

3762
03:30:49,453 --> 03:30:51,453
immediately thereafter.

3763
03:30:57,500 --> 03:30:59,500
>> Okay, thank you.

3764
03:31:00,778 --> 03:31:00,781
>> Good evening.

3765
03:31:00,781 --> 03:31:00,783
Thank you.

3766
03:31:00,783 --> 03:31:01,575
Great presentation.

3767
03:31:01,575 --> 03:31:03,898
I think this is a great project for the school.

3768
03:31:03,898 --> 03:31:07,373
I kind of like the idea that you threw out there about going

3769
03:31:07,373 --> 03:31:13,500
to the county and saying -- maybe see if they'll allow some

3770
03:31:13,500 --> 03:31:15,133
signs that are more legal-looking for not blocking

3771
03:31:15,133 --> 03:31:17,690
the driveway and things like that.

3772
03:31:17,690 --> 03:31:19,986
But I'm going to honestly say, it's the county's road.

3773
03:31:19,986 --> 03:31:22,781
If they say no, there's nothing really we can do.

3774
03:31:22,781 --> 03:31:24,713
But I think it's a good idea at least

3775
03:31:24,713 --> 03:31:27,473
to attempt to see if they can help out, alleviate,

3776
03:31:27,473 --> 03:31:28,776
so you can get in and out.

3777
03:31:28,776 --> 03:31:30,693
Once again, it's going to be the county that's

3778
03:31:30,693 --> 03:31:32,318
going to be able to make that decision.

3779
03:31:32,318 --> 03:31:33,213
It's not our road.

3780
03:31:33,213 --> 03:31:34,561
But I do like that idea.

3781
03:31:34,561 --> 03:31:36,355
I think it's at least something to offer up to the county

3782
03:31:36,355 --> 03:31:37,910
to see if they will buy off on it,

3783
03:31:37,910 --> 03:31:42,773
just to ease your in and out of your own home.

3784
03:31:42,773 --> 03:31:44,846
I'm in agreement with that.

3785
03:31:44,846 --> 03:31:46,988
If we can make that part of the --

3786
03:31:46,988 --> 03:31:51,195
I can't really be -- because the county is going to have to make

3787
03:31:51,195 --> 03:31:51,903
a decision on it.

3788
03:31:51,903 --> 03:31:53,901
I think that we want to make that part of it,

3789
03:31:53,901 --> 03:31:56,475
but understanding that, if it comes back and says

3790
03:31:56,475 --> 03:31:59,311
it's a no go, it is a no go.

3791
03:31:59,311 --> 03:32:03,511
But at least let's make an attempt.

3792
03:32:04,745 --> 03:32:08,345
>> We are happy to do that.

3793
03:32:09,707 --> 03:32:10,415
>> I just have --

3794
03:32:10,415 --> 03:32:12,815
I think it's great.

3795
03:32:13,133 --> 03:32:16,239
This is not going to be -- you're not going to have

3796
03:32:16,239 --> 03:32:22,839
the early childhood for a couple of years -- two years?

3797
03:32:24,895 --> 03:32:27,295
>> Two years, August of 2028.

3798
03:32:29,811 --> 03:32:29,815
>> August of 2028.

3799
03:32:29,815 --> 03:32:32,470
I'm debating if I want to bring this up right now.

3800
03:32:32,470 --> 03:32:39,247
If you can go to the picture with the driving loops --

3801
03:32:41,533 --> 03:32:42,470
thank you.

3802
03:32:42,470 --> 03:32:47,870
So we don't have a time for that yet,

3803
03:32:47,919 --> 03:32:53,919
so we don't have a time for the ECC yet?

3804
03:32:54,281 --> 03:32:56,310
>> In terms of drop off and pick up times?

3805
03:32:56,310 --> 03:32:57,480
Not yet.

3806
03:32:57,480 --> 03:33:02,378
I would guess it would be pretty similar to the lower school.

3807
03:33:02,378 --> 03:33:08,378
>> How many students would we be expecting in the ECC?

3808
03:33:08,641 --> 03:33:09,915
About 120?

3809
03:33:09,915 --> 03:33:12,315
So we'll say 120 cars.

3810
03:33:13,322 --> 03:33:17,402
Maybe they have siblings who go there, as well.

3811
03:33:17,402 --> 03:33:19,773
My concern here and what I was talking to you

3812
03:33:19,773 --> 03:33:27,590
guys in our meeting is the use of where the busses are queued

3813
03:33:27,590 --> 03:33:31,259
as an exit for the ECC carpool.

3814
03:33:33,389 --> 03:33:35,556
I don't know if this is the time to talk about this,

3815
03:33:35,556 --> 03:33:39,648
because you did say it's August 2028, but I do know --

3816
03:33:39,648 --> 03:33:42,189
I do feel that this whole mish --

3817
03:33:42,189 --> 03:33:44,356
when you get to this mishmash where the purple meets

3818
03:33:44,356 --> 03:33:46,141
the yellow meets the red meets the orange,

3819
03:33:46,141 --> 03:33:49,843
and the orange is now going to circle back through the car loop

3820
03:33:49,843 --> 03:33:52,613
to get back into the mishmash, it's a lot of stress

3821
03:33:52,613 --> 03:33:56,415
on the staff who's working the parking lot and doing the whole

3822
03:33:56,415 --> 03:33:56,915
thing.

3823
03:33:56,915 --> 03:34:01,133
I know we spoke about it in the meeting.

3824
03:34:01,133 --> 03:34:05,181
My thought process is letting that --

3825
03:34:05,181 --> 03:34:11,781
and this could alleviate some of that pressure onto Lyons --

3826
03:34:11,976 --> 03:34:19,176
is that orange carpool line now exits out that blue line onto

3827
03:34:19,795 --> 03:34:20,990
74th, right?

3828
03:34:20,990 --> 03:34:24,653
And then discussing how that would be -- that's just my take.

3829
03:34:24,653 --> 03:34:27,502
It just feels that you are in this point

3830
03:34:27,502 --> 03:34:29,419
here where you are now building new buildings,

3831
03:34:29,419 --> 03:34:32,310
and we are kind of at kind of a reset,

3832
03:34:32,310 --> 03:34:34,503
a refresh to now kind of analyze the traffic

3833
03:34:34,503 --> 03:34:36,777
patterns of the school, the carpool,

3834
03:34:36,777 --> 03:34:41,577
and kind of see what could be done.

3835
03:34:41,863 --> 03:34:43,867
My take is --

3836
03:34:43,867 --> 03:34:47,160
I don't think this is determinant on anything --

3837
03:34:47,160 --> 03:34:49,493
but I would like to see that orange turn onto that blue,

3838
03:34:49,493 --> 03:34:51,613
and the exit onto 74th, they make a left,

3839
03:34:51,613 --> 03:34:52,613
they go to Hillsborough.

3840
03:34:52,613 --> 03:34:53,933
That's my take.

3841
03:34:53,933 --> 03:34:57,346
Turning right, you will get back on Lyons.

3842
03:34:57,346 --> 03:34:58,661
It might be okay.

3843
03:34:58,661 --> 03:34:59,453
This whole thing --

3844
03:34:59,453 --> 03:35:03,573
Commissioner Rydell, he drives through on a daily basis.

3845
03:35:03,573 --> 03:35:05,885
I don't have experience with the car line.

3846
03:35:05,885 --> 03:35:08,755
I used to have experience with the camp line

3847
03:35:08,755 --> 03:35:11,155
when I worked there.

3848
03:35:12,373 --> 03:35:14,112
That's not make or break for me.

3849
03:35:14,112 --> 03:35:19,743
I'm just trying to come up with a solution of a problem you're

3850
03:35:19,743 --> 03:35:20,326
going to have.

3851
03:35:20,326 --> 03:35:21,118
We talked about it.

3852
03:35:21,118 --> 03:35:26,518
You kind of agreed with me when we spoke.

3853
03:35:27,629 --> 03:35:32,935
Commissioner Rydell, do you have any insight on that?

3854
03:35:32,935 --> 03:35:34,935
You're not speaking?

3855
03:35:35,993 --> 03:35:37,111
Okay.

3856
03:35:37,111 --> 03:35:37,312
>> What I can say to that is there's currently a declaration

3857
03:35:37,312 --> 03:35:39,453
of restrictive covenant in space that restricts any kind

3858
03:35:39,453 --> 03:35:41,383
of vehicular access to and from the school,

3859
03:35:41,383 --> 03:35:43,173
except for emergency vehicles.

3860
03:35:43,173 --> 03:35:48,300
That was a condition of approval as part of our rezoning

3861
03:35:48,300 --> 03:35:50,403
application that was --

3862
03:35:53,175 --> 03:35:55,175
>> How long ago?

3863
03:35:55,545 --> 03:35:55,550
>> About 11 years ago.

3864
03:35:55,550 --> 03:35:56,943
I think it was 2013, 2014.

3865
03:35:56,943 --> 03:35:59,593
Maybe a little bit longer than that, 12 years ago,

3866
03:35:59,593 --> 03:36:00,933
13 years ago.

3867
03:36:00,933 --> 03:36:03,709
There is that legal document that prevents the school

3868
03:36:03,709 --> 03:36:06,109
from using access there.

3869
03:36:10,495 --> 03:36:10,532
>> I don't know if there's a pulse for it,

3870
03:36:10,532 --> 03:36:13,157
but if there was a pulse for it, that document would need to be

3871
03:36:13,157 --> 03:36:15,744
rescinded, or what would be the process for that,

3872
03:36:15,744 --> 03:36:17,744
just for education?

3873
03:36:20,318 --> 03:36:22,901
>> That document was approved as part of the rezoning in 2015.

3874
03:36:22,901 --> 03:36:25,301
It's a recorded document.

3875
03:36:26,631 --> 03:36:31,267
It would be subject to the City Commission's purview

3876
03:36:31,267 --> 03:36:35,402
for rescinding any particular provisions of it.

3877
03:36:35,402 --> 03:36:35,902
>> Okay.

3878
03:36:35,902 --> 03:36:38,152
It is a couple years down the road, so I don't know --

3879
03:36:38,152 --> 03:36:40,733
and these traffic patterns aren't locked in place.

3880
03:36:40,733 --> 03:36:42,733
So if --

3881
03:36:45,861 --> 03:36:45,955
>> And we are meeting on an annual basis with the city

3882
03:36:45,955 --> 03:36:46,788
to evaluate traffic.

3883
03:36:46,788 --> 03:36:48,788
We will --

3884
03:36:51,461 --> 03:36:51,495
>> I'll put it on the back burner,

3885
03:36:51,495 --> 03:36:52,375
and I'll bring it up as we get closer.

3886
03:36:52,375 --> 03:36:53,779
I'd like to bring it up maybe for a discussion

3887
03:36:53,779 --> 03:36:54,612
with the commission.

3888
03:36:54,612 --> 03:36:58,125
Right now, I will -- all right.

3889
03:36:58,125 --> 03:37:00,125
Any other comments?

3890
03:37:01,273 --> 03:37:03,273
All right.

3891
03:37:05,511 --> 03:37:07,422
>> I would just ask Christina --

3892
03:37:07,422 --> 03:37:09,797
I know there's been concerns in the past comment you have

3893
03:37:09,797 --> 03:37:14,204
directed the majority of those concerns to I think you're head

3894
03:37:14,204 --> 03:37:16,204
of operations --

3895
03:37:17,510 --> 03:37:19,739
I'm drawing a blank on his name right now --

3896
03:37:19,739 --> 03:37:22,239
I think Tall Trees has had a good relationship

3897
03:37:22,239 --> 03:37:22,793
with that individual when there's been problems.

3898
03:37:22,793 --> 03:37:25,513
I think as a point of contact, reference point is some

3899
03:37:25,513 --> 03:37:27,753
of the surrounding neighbors, if there's issue,

3900
03:37:27,753 --> 03:37:29,670
just to make sure that contact is out there --

3901
03:37:29,670 --> 03:37:31,645
I think the school has been very good in terms

3902
03:37:31,645 --> 03:37:36,193
of their director of operations dealing with that.

3903
03:37:36,193 --> 03:37:37,345
I appreciate that.

3904
03:37:37,345 --> 03:37:40,433
We will make sure all of those affected neighbors

3905
03:37:40,433 --> 03:37:42,163
have that information, as well.

3906
03:37:42,163 --> 03:37:43,190
Thank you for that.

3907
03:37:43,190 --> 03:37:47,144
I would ask to continue with that through the construction

3908
03:37:47,144 --> 03:37:49,144
process.

3909
03:37:49,511 --> 03:37:53,711
>> Just for the record, it's Stu --

3910
03:37:58,285 --> 03:38:02,170
we're happy to provide his contact information for anyone

3911
03:38:02,170 --> 03:38:04,170
who needs it.

3912
03:38:05,595 --> 03:38:10,995
>> A motion and a second to approve agenda item 21,

3913
03:38:14,117 --> 03:38:19,517
North Broward preparatory site -- please call the roll.

3914
03:38:29,130 --> 03:38:31,130
>> (Calling roll)

3915
03:38:37,964 --> 03:38:39,964
>> Thank you.

3916
03:38:40,598 --> 03:38:44,479
>> Thank you very much for your time this evening.

3917
03:38:44,479 --> 03:38:46,812
>> Is there a motion and a second to approve agenda item

3918
03:38:46,812 --> 03:38:48,812
22?

3919
03:38:50,734 --> 03:38:55,534
Resilient design development staff will make their report.

3920
03:38:57,940 --> 03:38:57,990
>> After read the title.

3921
03:38:57,990 --> 03:38:57,599
Sorry.

3922
03:38:57,599 --> 03:38:59,708
Ordinance 2020 six-29, an ordinance

3923
03:38:59,708 --> 03:39:01,833
of the City Commission of the City of Coconut Creek

3924
03:39:01,833 --> 03:39:03,973
Florida amending the city's Code of Ordinances

3925
03:39:03,973 --> 03:39:07,761
by amending chapter one, general provisions, section

3926
03:39:07,761 --> 03:39:10,530
one-a, general penalty for violation of code continuing

3927
03:39:10,530 --> 03:39:12,768
violation and other remedies and administrative fees

3928
03:39:12,768 --> 03:39:15,413
to correct section references and clarify applicability

3929
03:39:15,413 --> 03:39:17,853
of fines providing for conflicts,

3930
03:39:17,853 --> 03:39:20,533
providing for severability, providing for codification,

3931
03:39:20,533 --> 03:39:23,533
and providing an effective date.

3932
03:39:36,369 --> 03:39:39,969
>> Really, this is a cleanup ordinance.

3933
03:39:40,136 --> 03:39:42,386
One of the important things we need to make sure we do

3934
03:39:42,386 --> 03:39:45,930
in our ordinances when they cross reference each other,

3935
03:39:45,930 --> 03:39:47,893
especially ordinances that involve enforcement and relate

3936
03:39:47,893 --> 03:39:53,768
to fines -- and this relates to refuse and solid waste.

3937
03:39:53,768 --> 03:39:55,393
It's actually one of our top ten fines.

3938
03:39:55,393 --> 03:39:57,976
We have to make sure that those cross-references are accurate.

3939
03:39:57,976 --> 03:39:59,885
One of the things we have found was,

3940
03:39:59,885 --> 03:40:03,253
this reference was not consistent between the two

3941
03:40:03,253 --> 03:40:03,853
ordinances.

3942
03:40:03,853 --> 03:40:06,229
The purpose of this ordinance tonight

3943
03:40:06,229 --> 03:40:08,726
is to make sure that those are consistent

3944
03:40:08,726 --> 03:40:13,980
and we can properly enforce those fines, especially when we

3945
03:40:13,980 --> 03:40:14,306
go to the special magistrate.

3946
03:40:14,306 --> 03:40:16,306
Thank you.

3947
03:40:19,618 --> 03:40:22,810
>> Any questions, comments from the Commission?

3948
03:40:22,810 --> 03:40:25,810
Any members of the public?

3949
03:40:26,645 --> 03:40:28,921
>> Not at this time.

3950
03:40:28,921 --> 03:40:30,379
>> No further questions, no public.

3951
03:40:30,379 --> 03:40:32,779
Please call the roll.

3952
03:40:34,678 --> 03:40:36,678

3964
03:41:16,538 --> 03:41:21,338
Moved by Commissioner Railey, seconded by Commissioner Welch.

3965
03:41:24,704 --> 03:41:24,707
>> Thank you.

3966
03:41:24,707 --> 03:41:25,790
You used our new nickname.

3967
03:41:25,790 --> 03:41:28,930
The Sustainable Development Department

3968
03:41:28,930 --> 03:41:30,813
is now called the Resilient Design and Development

3969
03:41:30,813 --> 03:41:31,313
Department.

3970
03:41:31,313 --> 03:41:33,741
We have changed our name.

3971
03:41:33,741 --> 03:41:35,693
When you do that, there are many references

3972
03:41:35,693 --> 03:41:37,958
to the old name in there.

3973
03:41:37,958 --> 03:41:42,758
Actually, the old name, two department names before.

3974
03:41:43,328 --> 03:41:45,660
This is truly a cleanup all throughout the code

3975
03:41:45,660 --> 03:41:46,243
of ordinances.

3976
03:41:46,243 --> 03:41:48,989
This will direct our company that maintains our ordinances

3977
03:41:48,989 --> 03:41:50,909
to go through the entire document

3978
03:41:50,909 --> 03:41:55,709
and clean it up and correct the name.

3979
03:41:57,395 --> 03:42:00,670
>> Any questions or comments from the City Commission?

3980
03:42:00,670 --> 03:42:02,976
Anyone from the public who would like to speak?

3981
03:42:02,976 --> 03:42:04,543
Anybody over here?

>> It's not a question.

4004
03:43:28,799 --> 03:43:29,424
It's a comment.

4005
03:43:29,424 --> 03:43:31,613
We were giving an allowance for the school,

4006
03:43:31,613 --> 03:43:33,265
putting them so late on the agenda.

4007
03:43:33,265 --> 03:43:37,425
Look at our staff, here to the very end

4008
03:43:37,425 --> 03:43:38,933
for three hours on this agenda.

4009
03:43:38,933 --> 03:43:40,933
I'm just saying.

4010
03:43:43,644 --> 03:43:46,644
>> They don't have work tomorrow.

4011
03:43:49,960 --> 03:43:51,960
[Laughter]

Vice Mayor?

03:43:54,828 --> 03:43:57,161
>> Listen, I don't have any comments on this other than,

4014
03:43:57,161 --> 03:43:59,973
Elizabeth, I am so sorry that you missed the wireless happy

4015
03:43:59,973 --> 03:44:01,293
hour at the beach.

4016
03:44:01,293 --> 03:44:03,876
I'm sorry you had to sit through this whole thing

4017
03:44:03,876 --> 03:44:07,689
and missed the one event of the year.

4018
03:44:07,689 --> 03:44:11,289
That's all I've got to say.

4019
03:44:13,135 --> 03:44:15,135
I'm sorry.

4020
03:44:15,834 --> 03:44:16,923
>> All right.

4021
03:44:16,923 --> 03:44:19,370
I don't know what he's talking about.

4022
03:44:19,370 --> 03:44:22,637
It's like some telecommunications happy hour?

4023

(Laughs).

4024
03:44:25,516 --> 03:44:29,878

>> Sir?

4037

>> Good evening.

4038
03:45:25,118 --> 03:45:27,130
As stated in the title, this amendment only

4039
03:45:27,130 --> 03:45:29,101
clarifies the utility easement.

4040
03:45:29,101 --> 03:45:33,210
There is no changes in equipment or ground space on the tower,

4041
03:45:33,210 --> 03:45:36,210

>> Verizon Wireless has held a lease since 2004,

They will change around some of their equipment on the tower.

by creating a new division one residentially zoned area,

4086
03:48:00,853 --> 03:48:03,163
enacting section 12-50, definitions,

4087
03:48:03,163 --> 03:48:06,673
and creating a new division two, non residentially zoned areas,

4088

holders, and 1165, revocation of non-exclusive franchise

4094
03:48:30,333 --> 03:48:33,610
registration, to provide for updates to reflect

4095
03:48:33,610 --> 03:48:36,119
the city's policy decision to return to curbside recycling,

4096
03:48:36,119 --> 03:48:38,826
providing for conflicts, providing for severability,

4097
03:48:38,826 --> 03:48:42,610
providing for codification, and providing an effective date.

4098
03:48:42,610 --> 03:48:49,261

4099
03:48:49,295 --> 03:48:50,677
>> Move it.

4100
03:48:50,677 --> 03:48:55,477
>> Moved by Commissioner Welch, seconded by Commissioner Rydell.

4101
03:48:56,548 --> 03:48:56,853
>> When recycling was discontinued in the city,

4102
03:48:56,853 --> 03:49:00,118
subsequently the ordinances related to that were struck from

4103
03:49:00,118 --> 03:49:00,928
the ordinance.

4104
03:49:00,928 --> 03:49:03,637
This essentially places them back into the ordinance.

4105
03:49:03,637 --> 03:49:07,713
I would point out that we did also add an additional fine

4106
03:49:07,713 --> 03:49:12,213
for developers that do not use the exclusive franchisee

4107
03:49:12,213 --> 03:49:17,519
in the city, as that does take away from the franchise fees

4108
03:49:17,519 --> 03:49:20,519
that the city does receive.

4109
03:49:22,682 --> 03:49:24,150
>> Anything from the commission?

4110
03:49:24,150 --> 03:49:26,150
The public?

4111
03:49:26,317 --> 03:49:28,717
Please call the roll.

>> No report.

4114
03:49:46,417 --> 03:49:48,817
>> No report, thank you.

4115
03:49:52,380 --> 03:49:54,380
>> Commissioner Rydell?

4116
03:49:55,675 --> 03:49:59,875
Do you have a report to make?

4117
03:50:01,444 --> 03:50:03,154
>> The hour is late.

4118
03:50:03,154 --> 03:50:04,735
The tooth is long.

4119
03:50:04,735 --> 03:50:09,725
The only report I will give is this, the exciting news

4120
03:50:09,725 --> 03:50:13,279
from earlier this month is the Solid Waste Authority actually

4121
03:50:13,279 --> 03:50:15,279
was created.

4122
03:50:15,473 --> 03:50:17,458
It was approved.

4123
03:50:17,458 --> 03:50:19,389
All the cities approved before the deadline.

4124
03:50:19,389 --> 03:50:23,868
The RFPs are are going to go out.

4125
03:50:23,868 --> 03:50:24,701
It's super exciting.

4126
03:50:24,701 --> 03:50:26,530
Big shout out.

4127
03:50:26,530 --> 03:50:29,530
Seriously, Mike, I mean it.

4128
03:50:29,919 --> 03:50:33,559
My report is going to be limited to the fact that it's something

4129
03:50:33,559 --> 03:50:40,226
that a lot of -- something that a lot of people spend a lot

4130
03:50:40,226 --> 03:50:43,826
of time on is moving forward.

4131
03:50:48,130 --> 03:50:50,985
That's the only report I will give

4132
03:50:50,985 --> 03:50:53,306
because it's late, way late.

4133
03:50:53,306 --> 03:50:59,248
I will see everybody on Saturday at the Republic Barbecue.

4134
03:50:59,248 --> 03:51:04,430
It's so exciting that Republic gave us trucks, little toy

4135
03:51:04,430 --> 03:51:04,543
trucks.

4136
03:51:04,543 --> 03:51:07,290
I want to give a big shout out to the deputy fire

4137
03:51:07,290 --> 03:51:14,490
chief that chose to sit here for the entire meeting in Manny's

4138
03:51:19,209 --> 03:51:21,209
absence.

4139
03:51:21,261 --> 03:51:21,533
>> He drew the short straw this time, I'm telling you.

4140
03:51:21,533 --> 03:51:24,276
Just a big shout out to Mike for his endurance

4141
03:51:24,276 --> 03:51:26,999
and everyone else that was involved.

4142
03:51:26,999 --> 03:51:28,293
A great job today.

4143
03:51:28,293 --> 03:51:33,693
It was the best one ever, he and Bernadette.

4144
03:51:37,980 --> 03:51:38,522
>> Thank you.

4145
03:51:38,522 --> 03:51:42,389
Just want to say that I know Florida League of Cities -- no,

4146
03:51:42,389 --> 03:51:46,589
I'm sorry, Broward League of Cities --

4147
03:51:48,252 --> 03:51:52,452
is putting in a brochure regarding amendment 3.

4148
03:51:53,511 --> 03:51:56,735
I think it would be great for us to utilize it, as well.

4149
03:51:56,735 --> 03:51:58,130
That's about it.

4150
03:51:58,130 --> 03:52:00,130
Good night, everybody.

4151
03:52:03,958 --> 03:52:03,965
>> I will try to be brief.

4152
03:52:03,965 --> 03:52:06,130
So I took my grandson to the splash pad

4153
03:52:06,130 --> 03:52:07,589
in the north rec center.

4154
03:52:07,589 --> 03:52:10,203
My family was amazed -- beautiful park,

4155
03:52:10,203 --> 03:52:11,861
beautiful splash pad.

4156
03:52:11,861 --> 03:52:12,525
Amazing.

4157
03:52:12,525 --> 03:52:14,531
We don't have little kids, so it's

4158
03:52:14,531 --> 03:52:16,989
the first time we've really been over there in a long time.

4159
03:52:16,989 --> 03:52:18,159
It was really nice.

4160
03:52:18,159 --> 03:52:20,159
Everybody enjoyed it.

4161
03:52:20,404 --> 03:52:23,404
Shout out to the --

4162
03:52:28,813 --> 03:52:30,483
Splash pad was great.

4163
03:52:30,483 --> 03:52:32,513
I won't be at the barbecue on Saturday.

4164
03:52:32,513 --> 03:52:38,185
I will be on the honor flight taking my veterans to DC.

4165
03:52:38,185 --> 03:52:40,117
That's pretty awesome.

4166
03:52:40,117 --> 03:52:42,426
The scary note on that is, actually qualify now

4167
03:52:42,426 --> 03:52:44,873
to be the guy in the chair, as of January.

4168
03:52:44,873 --> 03:52:47,733
Not looking forward to that realization.

4169
03:52:47,733 --> 03:52:53,380
Number three, real quick, got my test results back.

4170
03:52:53,380 --> 03:52:55,205
Those that don't know, there's no cancer in my bone,

4171
03:52:55,205 --> 03:52:56,705
there's no cancer in my bone marrow,

4172
03:52:56,705 --> 03:53:03,305
and none of my lymph nodes had a cancerous cluster, which

4173
03:53:03,421 --> 03:53:04,588
meant they couldn't find it.

4174
03:53:04,588 --> 03:53:05,653
Outside of it being in my blood cell,

4175
03:53:05,653 --> 03:53:07,590
pretty much got to wait it out to see what happens

4176
03:53:07,590 --> 03:53:08,396
in the next 10 to 15 years.

4177
03:53:08,396 --> 03:53:09,533
That's great news.

4178
03:53:09,533 --> 03:53:10,453
Thank you.

4179
03:53:10,453 --> 03:53:13,532
I can finally sleep at night and not be so grouchy,

4180
03:53:13,532 --> 03:53:15,350
except for that last thing.

4181
03:53:15,350 --> 03:53:16,605
But thank you very much.

4182
03:53:16,605 --> 03:53:19,605
I'll see you guys later.

4183
03:53:21,583 --> 03:53:23,830
>> You should be grouchy about that.

4184
03:53:23,830 --> 03:53:23,785
I would be.

4185
03:53:23,785 --> 03:53:26,770
Just two things, very brief.

4186
03:53:26,770 --> 03:53:32,790
Just want to say how proud I am to be part of this city.

4187
03:53:32,790 --> 03:53:34,493
Our staff is so thorough.

4188
03:53:34,493 --> 03:53:36,893
You are so incredible.

4189
03:53:37,183 --> 03:53:43,183
The vitriol and the things I see on social media

4190
03:53:43,373 --> 03:53:45,805
when they talk about the city as a whole,

4191
03:53:45,805 --> 03:53:48,206
they don't understand the people who help run this city,

4192
03:53:48,206 --> 03:53:53,730
the people who really pour their heart and soul into their job,

4193
03:53:53,730 --> 03:53:57,675
and the real care that you take with the steps you take

4194
03:53:57,675 --> 03:53:59,533
and the job you do.

4195
03:53:59,533 --> 03:54:04,303
I will always fight for you on that social media platform

4196
03:54:04,303 --> 03:54:07,933
because there are people who don't understand.

4197
03:54:07,933 --> 03:54:09,333
There's a lot of misinformation.

4198
03:54:09,333 --> 03:54:14,373
The vitriol that is out there is not okay.

4199
03:54:14,373 --> 03:54:18,366
I want to let the staff know, our police know, our fire know,

4200
03:54:18,366 --> 03:54:20,338
I am proud to represent you.

4201
03:54:20,338 --> 03:54:26,876
I'm proud to be here with you, with this commission, as well.

4202
03:54:26,876 --> 03:54:29,750
There is just some stuff that is just unacceptable.

4203
03:54:29,750 --> 03:54:30,575
Until people listen to our meetings,

4204
03:54:30,575 --> 03:54:34,388
until people get to know what we really do,

4205
03:54:34,388 --> 03:54:36,973
we have to try to right the ship.

4206
03:54:36,973 --> 03:54:39,973
I try to do that.

4207
03:54:40,613 --> 03:54:43,465
I do want to mention one thing also about social media.

4208
03:54:43,465 --> 03:54:49,787
There was a post the other day from Dolly Parton --

4209
03:54:49,787 --> 03:54:52,187
it was bizarre, indeed.

4210
03:54:52,918 --> 03:54:57,117
One thing that happens is, when the city posts stuff,

4211
03:54:57,117 --> 03:55:00,570
they don't reach out to the city staff.

4212
03:55:00,570 --> 03:55:04,719
They reach out to us, as the people who represent this city.

4213
03:55:04,719 --> 03:55:08,400
And I felt the post to be totally unacceptable,

4214
03:55:08,400 --> 03:55:11,400
and I would like --

4215
03:55:11,743 --> 03:55:13,243
I know we talked about this briefly,

4216
03:55:13,243 --> 03:55:16,186
but whoever is controlling the social media account,

4217
03:55:16,186 --> 03:55:17,901
whoever is controlling the Facebook,

4218
03:55:17,901 --> 03:55:20,821
I do think it needs an extra layer of check before something

4219
03:55:20,821 --> 03:55:25,247
is posted, whether it be from you or designee,

4220
03:55:25,247 --> 03:55:29,717
like Scott or somebody, because I found it to be --

4221
03:55:29,717 --> 03:55:32,877
like, that's not our job, to post something like that.

4222
03:55:32,877 --> 03:55:36,477
That is all I will say.
