While I don't see Tauya all the time, I don't think most of us see her all the time.

143
00:34:16,130 --> 00:34:20,990
We know that she is busy doing a lot of work with our transportation system.

151
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,140

00:38:01,940 --> 00:38:08,500
the heritage and traditions of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community, including

167
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:15,080
the Florida Chinese New Year, Gala, and partnership with community organizations and cultural

168
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:15,620
leaders.

169
00:38:15,940 --> 00:38:19,700
And we're as it is fitting the city of Myanmar recognizes and celebrates the enduring

170
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:24,820
contributions and achievements of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and reaffirm

171
00:38:24,820 --> 00:38:29,060
our commitment to fostering a community rooted in inclusion, respect, and unity.

172
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:38,480
Now, therefore, I Wayne Messam and Mayor of the City of Myanmar, and on behalf of Commissioner

173
00:38:39,260 --> 00:38:43,300
as Asian American Pacific Islander heritage month.

174
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:52,540
Thank you so much.

175
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:55,060
I just want to say, you know,

176
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,180
thank you for accepting this proclamation.

177
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:01,780
Not only are we grateful for the work

178
00:39:01,780 --> 00:39:03,440
that you do in the city of Miramar,

179
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,380
but you are very active in the community.

180
00:39:05,700 --> 00:39:09,360
I had a pleasure of seeing you do your moves and perform.

181
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,780
I don't know if everyone knows how well you perform,

182
00:39:12,780 --> 00:39:19,880
But you, you are a great performer as well and I know you do a lot in the, in the Asian community.

183
00:39:20,820 --> 00:39:29,260
The city of Miramar is very diverse and we really do want to, to represent and acknowledge everyone in our communities.

184
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,640
So thank you for doing your part, appreciate it.

185
00:39:36,130 --> 00:39:41,170
Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone, thank you Mayer, was Mayer Commissioners,

186
00:39:42,110 --> 00:39:47,230
City Ministers, especially Commissioner Corpon for this special

187
00:39:47,230 --> 00:39:52,330
population. This is for the Asian-American

188
00:39:52,330 --> 00:39:54,310
Episodes and algorithms.

189
00:39:55,110 --> 00:39:57,990
Is not true, but honor to receive the recognition.

190
00:39:59,070 --> 00:39:59,970
This recognition is...

191
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:08,440
Not, there's much more than a person on the, it reflects the contributions, values, and the cultures,

192
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:14,820
and the sacrifices for generations to Asian Americans. We have a measurement here. For the

193
00:40:14,820 --> 00:40:21,060
contributions to the communities and our nations, make our nations communities much stronger.

194
00:40:21,060 --> 00:40:31,160
And I'm also grateful to work to a city that embraces diversity, inclusion and

195
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:31,500
unity.

196
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:33,280
Thank you again.

197
00:40:34,060 --> 00:40:36,540
Commissioner Cobba and thank you.

198
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:37,140
Thank you.

199
00:40:38,140 --> 00:40:39,280
Thank you for this special honour.

200
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:40,260
Thank you.

201
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:12,560
Our final proclamation requested by Commissioner Cobba and Jewish American Heritage Month.

202
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:19,840
And I invite Jewish Federation of Broward County Scott Rothenberg to receive the Proclamation.

203
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:21,980
Give them a round of applause.

204
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:40,480
Jewish American Heritage Month, whereas on April 20th, 2020-06, President George W. Bush proclaimed

205
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:47,560
that Maywood be Jewish, excuse me, Jewish American Heritage Month, also known as J.A.A.A.

206
00:41:47,560 --> 00:42:06,700
American, capping a historic achievement by an impressive group led by the Jewish Museum of Florida in South Florida, Jewish community leaders, which eventually resulted in congressional resolutions introduced by representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Senator Arlin Specter.

207
00:42:06,700 --> 00:42:14,540
And whereas Jewish American heritage month recognizes more than a 360-year history of Jewish

208
00:42:14,540 --> 00:42:20,380
contributions to American culture and society from sports, arts, music, entertainment,

209
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,740
history, to medicine, business, science, government, and military service.

210
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:30,660
And whereas many Jewish women and men made lifelong commitments to confront the enemy

211
00:42:30,660 --> 00:42:34,800
of America's noblest goals, racism, and oppression.

212
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:40,560
They found solidarity and the civil rights movement and the fight for women's and LGBTQ

213
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:45,780
rights and in struggles which often mirror the story of Exodus and the Jewish peoples

214
00:42:45,780 --> 00:42:47,240
journey through the ages.

215
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:55,240
And whereas J.A.H.M. celebrate celebrations include a unique annual theme and past events

216
00:42:55,240 --> 00:43:01,840
have been held at the U.S. Capitol and the White House and other federal sites, such as National

217
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,260
Parks, the Library of Congress, and the National Gallery of Art.

218
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:10,420
This year's theme provides a wonderful opportunity to recognize the American Jews who

219
00:43:10,420 --> 00:43:15,700
have helped create the images that represent important parts of our everyday life from beloved

220
00:43:15,700 --> 00:43:20,340
children's books, graphics superhero novels, and daily comics in illustrations.

221
00:43:20,340 --> 00:43:26,520
And whereas the recent rise in anti-Semitism demands that all Americans know the lessons

222
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:32,380
of the Holocaust, recognizing the urgent imperative to continually combat prejudice

223
00:43:32,380 --> 00:43:33,440
before it takes root.

224
00:43:34,100 --> 00:43:40,360
The emergent civil anti-Semitism aimed at places of worship requires that we recommit through

225
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,980
action and solidarity that an attack on the faith of one is an attack on the faith of

226
00:43:44,980 --> 00:43:45,280
the wall.

227
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,940
And whereas the city of Myanmar wishes to recognize the achievements and contributions of

228
00:43:49,940 --> 00:43:56,380
Jewish, and the impact they have had in the United States of America, and now, therefore,

229
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,160
I Wayne Messam, a mayor of the city of Myanmar, and on behalf of Commissioning Vect

230
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:08,420
Coburn and the City Commission, due here by proclaim May 2026 as Jewish American heritage

231
00:44:08,420 --> 00:44:14,400
month in the city of Myanmar, and we'd like to thank all of our Jewish Americans and all

232
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:19,920
contributions that they provide to our community as well as to Broward County and our nation.

233
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:21,080
Thank you all so much.

234
00:44:32,950 --> 00:44:33,550
Thank you.

235
00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:36,910
Again, thank you so much for coming out and accepting this

236
00:44:36,910 --> 00:44:41,850
proclamation and know that the city of Miramar, we appreciate that you, the work that you do,

237
00:44:42,050 --> 00:44:48,370
we are a very diverse city, but more so than just diverse, we really do know that we represent

238
00:44:48,370 --> 00:44:51,070
everyone in our city and in our community.

239
00:44:51,270 --> 00:44:53,070
Thank you so much for being here.

240
00:44:53,070 --> 00:44:54,370
I'd like to say a few words.

241
00:44:56,580 --> 00:44:57,580
Thank you so much.

242
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,880
The events of the past week in San Diego.

243
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:19,380
So, really brings the focus that we as a community of everyone come together and support one another, that hate has no home here, and I appreciate this proclamation and hope that we can celebrate more proclamations like this. Thank you so much.

244
00:45:19,380 --> 00:45:21,640
Thank you so much.

245
00:45:54,400 --> 00:46:03,020
Next we have a presentation by Commissioner Shira Zart in recognition of moms of Miramar, Commissioner.

246
00:46:03,460 --> 00:46:03,760
Thank you, madam.

247
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:04,960
Some good evening, everyone.

248
00:46:05,900 --> 00:46:15,020
This presentation today is just an opportunity to show support and love to some of the moms in our community.

249
00:46:15,020 --> 00:46:20,820
A few weeks ago, just prior to Mother's Day, we held the moms of Mary Mar, poured into

250
00:46:20,820 --> 00:46:21,360
event.

251
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:27,140
And at that event, we asked the ladies in the room to nominate a phenomenal mom.

252
00:46:27,380 --> 00:46:33,600
A resilient mom, a community mom, someone who is a pillar for other families in our community.

253
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:40,340
We got so many nominations and I went down the list of those nominations and I read some

254
00:46:40,340 --> 00:46:47,480
stories and four women were chosen, four moms of the community were chosen. And tonight

255
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:52,420
we're going to present three of them because one of the moms is about 90 years old who

256
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:57,500
was nominated and chosen and I wouldn't ask her to come out. But three of those mothers are

257
00:46:57,500 --> 00:47:04,080
in the room and I would love for us to honor them just as we present them with their plaques,

258
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:10,400
there are words for being outstanding mothers in the city of Miramar. So in no particular order,

259
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:15,140
I am going to call up these ladies and just recognize them and thank them for their contributions.

260
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:29,400
So first up we have being awarded for being a legacy mom, is Ms. Claudette Stenett.

261
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,260
If you would come up and please accept her.

262
00:47:35,210 --> 00:47:36,250
I'm going

263
00:48:08,860 --> 00:48:12,380
to ask for Ms. Samantha Ubedez to join me on the stage.

264
00:48:12,380 --> 00:48:17,120
One of the most touching stories that I had for nominations,

265
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,920
she is definitely the embodiment of a resilient mom

266
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,420
and let's continue to support her as she makes her way

267
00:48:25,420 --> 00:48:27,040
to the stage for her award.

268
00:48:49,780 --> 00:48:53,420
Last but definitely not least, we would love to recognize

269
00:48:53,420 --> 00:48:58,140
Ms. Marie Camichelle for being a pillar mom in the community.

270
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,500
In recognition of your strength, leadership, and impact.

271
00:49:03,020 --> 00:49:04,820
Thank you for all you do.

272
00:49:24,270 --> 00:49:28,930
This is just a small sample of the mothers in the city of Miramar.

273
00:49:29,190 --> 00:49:34,750
And we all play our part in making sure that our families, our secure, taking care of all

274
00:49:34,750 --> 00:49:39,030
mothers deserve an award, but tonight we recognize these three.

275
00:49:39,090 --> 00:49:43,550
Every mother's day we do, and every day we celebrate the contributions of our mothers.

276
00:49:43,790 --> 00:49:46,550
So thank you very much, ladies, for your contributions.

277
00:50:05,270 --> 00:50:05,890
Our

278
00:50:54,660 --> 00:51:03,480
final presentation, I do want to pause and acknowledge that it's 7.35 and this is the commission meeting

279
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:11,480
where we have time, certain 7.30 for public participation. We do not have any signees for public

280
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:16,520
participation, but I would like to extend an opportunity if there is anyone in the commission

281
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:22,820
chambers that wish to make public comment to provide that opportunity.

282
00:51:24,380 --> 00:51:32,420
Seeing none, we will now close public participation and our final presentation is requested

283
00:51:32,420 --> 00:51:35,900
by Commissioner Sherizard, Commissioner Sherizard, and now recognized.

284
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:37,420
Thank you very much, Mayor Mason.

285
00:51:38,140 --> 00:51:45,020
I just wanted to take a moment just prior to us moving into home ownership month to get an update

286
00:51:45,020 --> 00:51:50,880
on the state of the Miramar Condominium, and so I have with us from the Miami Association of

287
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:56,760
Realtors, Mr. Nate Parsons, who will be doing a presentation and an update on the state

288
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,240
of the Miramar Condo. Mr. Parsons.

289
00:52:15,300 --> 00:52:22,180
Thank you, Mayor Mesom, Vice Mayor, commissioners. As commissioner Sharsard mentioned, my name is

290
00:52:22,180 --> 00:52:29,260
Nate Parsons, and I am the managing vice president of advocacy and fundraising for the Miami

291
00:52:29,260 --> 00:52:38,220
realtors and our world, the largest realtor association in the world. We have some stats to share

292
00:52:38,220 --> 00:52:47,240
with you all today. Starting with our closed condo sales in Miramar versus Broward County. On the

293
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:57,260
top chart you see Miramar closed condo sales from 2019 going through 2025 and then on the very

294
00:52:57,260 --> 00:53:05,580
right side, you see year to date thus far in 2026. On the second chart, the lower chart,

295
00:53:05,780 --> 00:53:15,460
you see Broward County closed condominium sales again from 2019 to 2025 and how the numbers

296
00:53:15,460 --> 00:53:26,280
are looking thus far in 2026. All in all, it looks like year over year change is going down,

297
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:32,080
However, thus far this year, change has gone up.

298
00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:39,020
We've had an increase in closed sales in Miramar of 11% whereas

299
00:53:39,020 --> 00:53:43,960
the county is trending negative almost 1%.

300
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,520
There could be many different reasons for that.

301
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:52,060
One we expect is because of the fluctuation with interest rates

302
00:53:52,060 --> 00:53:58,100
and that causing people to make choices with their housing.

303
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,180
But all in all sales are going down.

304
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:11,460
In Miramar, we have the median condo price versus the Broward County condo price again

305
00:54:11,460 --> 00:54:16,600
within the same span of years and thus far in 2026.

306
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:23,360
As you can see, there was the COVID bubble in the middle of the chart.

307
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:33,100
But as far as year-to-day this year, it looks like both in Miramar and in Broward County,

308
00:54:34,060 --> 00:54:36,960
median condo prices are going down.

309
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:43,620
It's down 4% in Miramar and 6% in the overall county.

310
00:54:44,380 --> 00:54:48,920
Prices are down overall, but they are starting to tick up again.

311
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:56,260
The next chart you'll see is Miramar Month's Supply versus Broward County.

312
00:54:57,240 --> 00:54:59,980
Essentially Month's Supply is how many homes we have.

313
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:10,740
On the market, how many housing options we have on the market? A balanced or healthy market is somewhere between six to nine months of supply.

314
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:22,340
So, as you can see, Miramar, especially for 2026, and 2025 is right within that sweet spot of a healthy balanced month supply.

315
00:55:22,340 --> 00:55:32,020
where as Broward County is a little over that, leading to what we would likely refer to as more of a buyer's market.

316
00:55:32,340 --> 00:55:35,180
That's essentially what these charts are showing you.

317
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,280
If it's within the six to nine months, it's balanced.

318
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,040
If it's below, it's a sellers market.

319
00:55:41,180 --> 00:55:43,760
If it's above, it's a buyer's market.

320
00:55:45,500 --> 00:55:46,660
On the next chart,

321
00:55:49,620 --> 00:55:52,760
we have Broward County sales of distressed properties.

322
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:56,620
This is for the entire county, not necessarily Miramar specific.

323
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:10,100
The data wasn't available at present time, but as you can see, you know, we had huge fluctuations in the early years in the early 2010s.

324
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:18,120
And then as we had the boom of COVID and people coming in, buying properties, sight unseen, that trickled off.

325
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:31,960
Although there's a 1% year-over-year change compared to the year-over-year changes that we saw in years past, this is fairly normal and not a huge leap.

326
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:48,120
So why are we here today? That gives, that was to give you a little bit of an overview of what the market looks like, especially as it pertains to condos and condominium units and inventory.

327
00:56:49,020 --> 00:56:54,520
I'm sure that's exactly what everyone wants it to hear, especially after having all those great

328
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:55,300
moms up there.

329
00:56:55,420 --> 00:57:01,460
You want some economic data and want to hear about condosails, but there is a point to the

330
00:57:01,460 --> 00:57:02,140
presentation.

331
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:10,260
In addition to the economic data, there's some policy options that the commission may be willing

332
00:57:10,260 --> 00:57:11,020
to consider.

333
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:16,700
There are some programs that have been adopted in other municipalities, Miami-Dade County, which

334
00:57:16,700 --> 00:57:19,600
we'll see here in a little bit, hall and Dale Beach,

335
00:57:20,220 --> 00:57:23,420
and we're attempting to implement a similar policy

336
00:57:23,420 --> 00:57:26,600
in Broward County all to promote transparency,

337
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,360
ease of purchase and sale for our residents

338
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,580
and our communities and ensure that people aren't being

339
00:57:34,580 --> 00:57:38,580
surprised with assessments and unnecessary costs

340
00:57:38,580 --> 00:57:40,980
that affect overall affordability.

341
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,660
So as you can see, a little bit of the background

342
00:57:44,660 --> 00:57:52,260
on the legislation on the state level and where we got to where we are with inspections

343
00:57:52,260 --> 00:57:59,760
and resertification. I know no one's a stranger to the tragedy that happened with the Champlain

344
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:08,820
Towers and Surfside. In May 2023 the Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals revised the

345
00:58:08,820 --> 00:58:18,860
the inspection threshold from 40 years down to 25 years for buildings and structures

346
00:58:18,860 --> 00:58:20,500
of a certain size and height.

347
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:28,580
This was a change made in order to align the Broward County ordinance with Florida statute.

348
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:37,160
Subsequent inspections for buildings over 25 years old must occur every 10 years.

349
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:51,420
The updated program requires property owners to conduct inspections such as structural and electrical upon reaching that 25-year milestone.

350
00:58:52,740 --> 00:59:06,520
This chart is our association's analysis of DBPR data regarding the number of condo units in each of these four zip codes.

351
00:59:06,860 --> 00:59:12,040
You may say, Nate, there are only units in three of those zip codes. You're correct.

352
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:19,260
The data from DVPR wasn't available in zip code 33029.

353
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:23,040
We have some assumptions as to why that may be.

354
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,540
It's either DVPR doesn't have the data fully compiled

355
00:59:27,540 --> 00:59:32,100
or in that zip code we have a lot of town homes as a housing option

356
00:59:32,100 --> 00:59:37,280
that are owned fee simple and would not show up in those numbers.

357
00:59:38,300 --> 00:59:39,540
Next slide please.

358
00:59:39,540 --> 00:59:47,980
Continuing on with the DBR data we can see the condo unit inventory by age and this

359
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:54,440
is what's really important in reference to the resertification and all of those inspections

360
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:59,960
that are required by state statute and are required by Broward County Ordnance.

361
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:10,420
As you can see, we have just about 1,300 and 50 units that are in that 25-year plus space.

362
01:00:10,780 --> 01:00:22,040
So that means that they need to have had their initial milestone inspection, and then that also starts the clock for reinspection every 10 years thereafter.

363
01:00:23,740 --> 01:00:33,400
in that reassessment and re-inspection and re-certification period that when you're more likely to see assessments.

364
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:40,260
condosessments and other fees that affect affordability in those living on fixed incomes

365
01:00:41,220 --> 01:00:46,440
contributing to some of the housing problems that we're seeing in South Florida.

366
01:00:47,810 --> 01:00:59,390
This slide is showing the monthly HOA assessments that are fixed and what the median monthly association fee was in any given year.

367
01:00:59,690 --> 01:01:09,710
As you can see, they're continuously going up at a fairly steady pace, but the really important data to look at are the condo special assessments.

368
01:01:09,710 --> 01:01:27,790
Now, this data is reported through MLS listings, so these are real estate practitioners who are entering information into the multiple, excuse me, the multiple listing service for properties for sale in Miramar.

369
01:01:27,790 --> 01:01:35,410
These are voluntary fields that are a yes or a no and do not have to be checked.

370
01:01:35,630 --> 01:01:45,610
So the data is not 100% the full picture, but it does give us a decent idea of various

371
01:01:45,610 --> 01:01:51,710
numbers of listings that are seeing these higher and more extreme special assessments.

372
01:01:51,710 --> 01:01:52,910
So

373
01:01:55,950 --> 01:02:09,710
to the policy point, the city of Miramar is projected to receive just over $1 million in ship funding for fiscal year 2526 through the Florida Housing Finance Corporation.

374
01:02:10,630 --> 01:02:23,270
Miramar's local housing action plan allows for foreclosure assistance, but excuse me, the specific languages, unforeseen emergency home repairs,

375
01:02:23,270 --> 01:02:27,510
including condo and homeowner association assessments.

376
01:02:28,270 --> 01:02:36,110
But the language in your current LHAP does not address rehabilitation assistance.

377
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:42,590
Currently, the language only states that there can be rehabilitation for single family homes.

378
01:02:43,170 --> 01:02:48,990
As we'll see in the next slides, this was the case in Miami-Dade County,

379
01:02:48,990 --> 01:02:56,190
and they modified their plan to allow for rehabilitation assistance.

380
01:02:58,530 --> 01:03:04,090
So now we'll get into the example of the current condominium special assessment program

381
01:03:04,090 --> 01:03:10,690
that's in place in Miami-Dade County and some of what we're trying to accomplish in Broward County.

382
01:03:11,710 --> 01:03:32,590
Miami-Dade County asked for an amendment to their LHAP and they had a sur tax so they had a different funding source but in the case of Miramar, there is not a sur tax so you would need to do an amendment to your local housing plan.

383
01:03:32,590 --> 01:03:40,570
Here's the real meat of the presentation that take away and what the policy would look like.

384
01:03:41,150 --> 01:03:48,490
In my Amidade, condominium special assessment program, primary residents earning less than

385
01:03:48,490 --> 01:03:58,510
140% area median income can receive up to $50,000 in assistance towards condos special assessments

386
01:03:58,510 --> 01:04:00,570
for structural integrity.

387
01:04:00,570 --> 01:04:14,110
This allows them to deal with these unforeseen expenses and really goes to the heart of some of the affordability crisis, especially as it pertains to condominiums.

388
01:04:14,770 --> 01:04:27,250
One of our most in need forms of housing. You can choose to adopt a similar program, but again, you would need to modify your local LHAP.

389
01:04:27,250 --> 01:04:48,090
So, boiling down some of the numbers for the Miami-Dade Plan, as of January 2022, 1200 loans were closed for rehabilitation for special assessments for assistance, especially pertaining to condominium and condominium assessments.

390
01:04:48,090 --> 01:04:59,970
In addition to that 1,200 loans closed, over 1,900 applications were received and the average loan amount was 20...

391
01:05:01,660 --> 01:05:16,000
This is something that the Miami-Dade County Commission spoke to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation and got their sign off in their blessing that this is doable.

392
01:05:16,380 --> 01:05:28,800
This is something that is not prevented in existing state law and would really go to helping our residents who are in need and fulfilling some of those rehabilitation needs.

393
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:37,240
Key Futures of the program are 40-year repayment term, low monthly payments, no interest,

394
01:05:38,100 --> 01:05:47,260
the contribution amount must contribute up to 10% of the loan amount and rehabilitation

395
01:05:47,260 --> 01:05:48,100
funds.

396
01:05:48,780 --> 01:05:56,140
Unique difference to what is currently in place in the city of Miramar is that the funds are

397
01:05:56,140 --> 01:06:03,600
directly to the property owners. In Miami-Dade County, the funds are given to the

398
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:10,280
condominium associations to reimburse work already completed and to help alleviate

399
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:18,280
the burden on the building as a whole. And then a capital event as well. Applicant

400
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:25,660
requirements in the Miami-Dade program include income requirements and there are

401
01:06:25,660 --> 01:06:33,560
document requirements, which starts getting some really great data for the city and for the county

402
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:40,200
and for the municipalities so that we can make measured and smart choices based on the needs

403
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:45,880
that are there. Some of the documents include condo budgets, questionnaires,

404
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:55,640
a description of the scope of the work and what projects are being done, so you know that the

405
01:06:55,640 --> 01:07:00,880
and maintenance fees must all be current in order to be eligible for the funds.

406
01:07:01,420 --> 01:07:06,980
And there are semi-annual reports required from the condominium association.

407
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:13,940
So they're keeping tabs on the work that was said was going to happen, and that it

408
01:07:13,940 --> 01:07:15,900
actually happening until completion.

409
01:07:18,340 --> 01:07:26,760
Moving from what Miami-Dade currently has, policy-wise, all of those documents that were

410
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:36,280
just referenced are really a huge asset to practitioners and to our buyers and sellers in

411
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:44,460
allowing for transparency and reducing those hidden fees. Miami-Dade County currently has

412
01:07:44,460 --> 01:07:52,620
a community association registry that houses all of those documents publicly. So when individuals

413
01:07:52,620 --> 01:08:00,320
are looking to buy in any given municipality, they have access to, you know, those budgets,

414
01:08:01,380 --> 01:08:07,600
those structural studies. Anything you would want to know if you were buying a property,

415
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:13,860
especially in an older condominium building. And you can scan the QR code and it will take

416
01:08:13,860 --> 01:08:19,600
you directly to the Miami-Dade County website. It's a very user-friendly and, again,

417
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,240
and it's great information.

418
01:08:23,180 --> 01:08:25,440
I already mentioned some of the documents in the database,

419
01:08:25,700 --> 01:08:31,320
but just to drive it home financial statements, annual budgets,

420
01:08:32,580 --> 01:08:34,780
current fees and special assessments,

421
01:08:35,260 --> 01:08:38,460
planned capital projects, structural reports,

422
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,020
and the certificate of insurance.

423
01:08:41,300 --> 01:08:44,360
All vital information for what is often

424
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:48,340
an individual's most important purchase in their life.

425
01:08:48,340 --> 01:08:55,820
And the final slide, just to update you all on our efforts in Broward County, we're working

426
01:08:55,820 --> 01:09:02,000
with Commissioner Lamar Fisher and speaking with other commissioners to try to get something

427
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:06,680
similar to what Miami-Dade County has in place in Broward.

428
01:09:06,860 --> 01:09:13,560
We feel it's important, again, for transparency, for affordability, and just for doing their

429
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:14,300
due diligence.

430
01:09:14,300 --> 01:09:21,220
We were at a workshop meeting yesterday where Commissioner Fisher brought it forward as a funding request.

431
01:09:21,660 --> 01:09:27,220
We are waiting for the overall result of whether the county commission had consensus.

432
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:34,080
If the county commission does decide to fund the program, aside from the initial seed money,

433
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:42,940
it will then become self-sufficient, and all of the municipalities and residents and buildings in Broward County will benefit from it.

434
01:09:42,940 --> 01:09:49,980
if they choose not to pass it, that's when we'll start looking at having individual municipalities

435
01:09:50,500 --> 01:09:55,080
take the steps needed to protect their residents and those moving into their communities,

436
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,780
taking steps like Hollandil Beach has done in Miami-Dade County.

437
01:10:01,300 --> 01:10:05,820
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you for the presentation.

438
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,060
Any closing remarks of Commissioner Sherrasar?

439
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:20,400
Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. Parsons, for your advocacy as well as your presentation this evening.

440
01:10:21,740 --> 01:10:33,140
I mainly wanted to make sure that this information fell on the ears of Mayor Mar residence as well as city managers office, so that we can understand where we have.

441
01:10:33,140 --> 01:10:41,020
But what we have room to improve when it comes to the treatments of the policies we have

442
01:10:41,020 --> 01:10:49,360
in place for our condominium owners, as well as our preparations for spending, assisting

443
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:55,220
and making sure that affordability continues to have a place in the city of Miramar.

444
01:10:55,700 --> 01:11:00,300
Condominium ownership is usually the gateway to home ownership, and if that barrier keeps

445
01:11:00,300 --> 01:11:02,800
becoming higher and higher without the support,

446
01:11:03,220 --> 01:11:07,720
it could be an unattainable goal.

447
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,660
And we would not want that to happen in the city of Miramar

448
01:11:10,660 --> 01:11:15,920
when we can see the issue now and work towards ways of correcting it.

449
01:11:15,980 --> 01:11:20,120
So just wanted to keep airs open as we work towards improvements

450
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,800
in policy and updates to make sure our condominium owners

451
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,960
have the support of the city.

452
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:27,280
Thank you very much.

453
01:11:28,140 --> 01:11:28,900
Commissioner Chambers.

454
01:11:28,900 --> 01:11:32,060
Thank you, thank you for the presentation, sir.

455
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:45,920
You know what I would hope is that the industry regulates construction, especially multifamily

456
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:55,500
condo units, instead of a minimum you have a maximum, because when they allow someone to

457
01:11:55,500 --> 01:12:07,100
So building without proper regulation, without the maximum standard and then you have to pay

458
01:12:07,100 --> 01:12:15,500
for re-inspection and re-inspection, putting the burden on the condo owner, it's just unfair

459
01:12:15,500 --> 01:12:22,820
when the building could have been built more safer, more stronger doing the development process.

460
01:12:24,460 --> 01:12:33,080
But, of course, the little people I would get sucked, I only get stuck with the bills, you know.

461
01:12:33,340 --> 01:12:38,580
What if a condo deem an habitable, then where those people go, you know?

462
01:12:39,460 --> 01:12:47,240
It's just unfair with all these, you know, shall be not a high standard construction.

463
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:55,240
And then when you own a condo again, then you have to deal with the board, the association,

464
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:56,020
the harassment.

465
01:12:58,080 --> 01:12:59,060
It's something happening.

466
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:05,600
You know, I would hope that someone could come one day with a list of all the folks who have

467
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:12,300
gone through trials and tribulations living in a condo, especially poor people who don't have

468
01:13:12,300 --> 01:13:15,720
it too much, who just trying to find a place for them to live.

469
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:24,940
especially when they get older and they want the expense to be not so burdened some, but you get a

470
01:13:24,940 --> 01:13:34,980
assessment, special assessment, harassment, harassment, I'm not complaining, I'm just kind of explaining,

471
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:36,880
but thank you for the presentation.

472
01:13:44,170 --> 01:13:45,510
All right, thank you all.

473
01:13:47,340 --> 01:13:57,540
On to consent agenda items listed under consent agenda are viewed to be routine and the recommendation will be enacted by one motion in the form listed below.

474
01:13:58,260 --> 01:14:04,920
If the discussion is desired, the items will be removed from the consent agenda and will be considered separately.

475
01:14:05,540 --> 01:14:09,660
Clerk received no request to speak from the public on the consent agenda.

476
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:18,280
Does any member public in the chambers wish to comment on any items on the consent agenda?

477
01:14:23,470 --> 01:14:25,490
Seeing none, I'm back to the days.

478
01:14:25,870 --> 01:14:27,690
I'd like to pull item number four.

479
01:14:27,970 --> 01:14:29,590
Any other items that wish to be pulled?

480
01:14:30,010 --> 01:14:32,410
I was going to pull item number four as well.

481
01:14:32,810 --> 01:14:33,670
Number six, please.

482
01:14:34,370 --> 01:14:34,970
Number six.

483
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:41,780
I have a motion on the balance of the consent agenda.

484
01:14:41,780 --> 01:14:43,800
Motion to approve.

485
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:44,400
Second.

486
01:14:45,180 --> 01:14:45,980
Court of votes.

487
01:14:53,390 --> 01:14:54,630
Mr. Chambers.

488
01:14:54,890 --> 01:14:55,110
Yes.

489
01:14:56,230 --> 01:14:57,270
Mr. Sharesard.

490
01:14:58,810 --> 01:14:59,610
Commissioner Colburn.

491
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,640
Yes. Vice Mayor Edwards? Yes.

492
01:15:02,860 --> 01:15:06,020
I am SM. Yes. I don't know before, please.

493
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:10,840
A resident of the City Commissioner of the City of Guantama, Florida, awarding requests for

494
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:18,940
letters of interest number 25-04-20 entitled Citywide Findings Science to CSA Central

495
01:15:18,940 --> 01:15:26,320
Inc. in the amount of $145,100 to provide professional services related to the planning, design,

496
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,360
and development of the citywide way of finding

497
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:32,720
sign it system and providing for an effective date.

498
01:15:33,060 --> 01:15:33,880
Good evening.

499
01:15:34,380 --> 01:15:34,860
Good evening.

500
01:15:35,540 --> 01:15:37,000
Yes, I'd like to have a presentation.

501
01:15:37,540 --> 01:15:41,040
So everyone can understand what's being brought forward.

502
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:41,960
Thank you.

503
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:43,260
Good evening, Mayor.

504
01:15:43,700 --> 01:15:46,580
Vice Mayor, Commissioner, City Manager, City Attorney,

505
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:47,300
City Clerk.

506
01:15:47,940 --> 01:15:48,900
My name is Liz Valeran.

507
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:51,140
I'm the Chief CIP Officer for Miramar.

508
01:15:51,140 --> 01:15:59,380
and I'm here to present temporary resolution number 8673 citywide wave finding signs.

509
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:06,270
City code requires commissioner approval for purchases exceeding 75,000.

510
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:13,520
The city manager seeks approval to award 143,100 to CSA Central Inc.

511
01:16:13,780 --> 01:16:18,320
for the design and development of city wave finding signage system.

512
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:27,860
The City Commission approved funding and FY25 for this project in the amount of 190,173.

513
01:16:28,700 --> 01:16:34,380
A request for letter of interest was issued in July of 25, soliciting qualified firms

514
01:16:34,380 --> 01:16:41,260
to develop the signage system to welcome and confirm arrival at city key entry and exit points

515
01:16:41,260 --> 01:16:48,200
to lead the city, to lead major city destinations such as facilities, parks and event spaces,

516
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:52,900
and to develop a distinct visual identity or branding design.

517
01:16:55,630 --> 01:16:58,950
The ROI closed in September of 25,

518
01:16:59,310 --> 01:17:02,910
and one response was received and it was from CSA Central.

519
01:17:03,710 --> 01:17:08,930
They presented an oral presentation to staff on December 2nd,

520
01:17:08,970 --> 01:17:11,790
and were deemed qualified responsive and responsible.

521
01:17:12,530 --> 01:17:14,030
After we held the negotiations,

522
01:17:15,110 --> 01:17:18,810
they were offered a reduction of 10% from the original proposal

523
01:17:18,810 --> 01:17:22,730
for a total of 143,100.

524
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:26,560
The scope of work.

525
01:17:27,180 --> 01:17:30,480
They intend to discover and do perform site audits

526
01:17:30,480 --> 01:17:33,940
that will include public comment and also feed back

527
01:17:33,940 --> 01:17:34,820
from the stakeholders.

528
01:17:35,740 --> 01:17:38,900
They'll provide a strategy and placement plan,

529
01:17:39,180 --> 01:17:41,380
defining landmarks and exact sign locations,

530
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:44,680
and they will develop and bring to us a concept

531
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:46,940
and a graphic design that will reflect

532
01:17:46,940 --> 01:17:48,360
the city's brand identity.

533
01:17:49,140 --> 01:17:55,260
They also will provide technical specifications using resistant and long lasting materials.

534
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,700
They will perform the oversight on the fabrication and the installation.

535
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:07,640
They will also look at the prototype qualities and the site placements provided by the

536
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:08,440
bidders.

537
01:18:24,510 --> 01:18:29,450
For CSA, we asked them to give us some examples of signs they have done.

538
01:18:29,450 --> 01:18:34,690
One of their clients was South Miami and these are some of the signs that they did.

539
01:18:34,830 --> 01:18:44,530
One is at a park and within the park they also had milestones and walking distance signs and going into the city.

540
01:18:45,010 --> 01:18:49,530
This is the monument sign that they designed for the South, for South Miami.

541
01:18:50,750 --> 01:19:00,970
The coral springs was another client, they did the monument signs for different entryways and they also have different signage within the parks and different facilities.

542
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:17,000
And this is the city of Miami Lakes and they also had, they did the street signage for them and they did way finding signs and they also had some parking signs that they developed.

543
01:19:18,540 --> 01:19:25,220
This is a sample of the plan that they will provide to us, so they'll identify all the

544
01:19:25,220 --> 01:19:33,020
different areas that designate that we identified when they do the all the site work and the

545
01:19:33,020 --> 01:19:38,460
audits, and then they'll provide us a plan of where they determine the different signage

546
01:19:38,460 --> 01:19:38,840
or go.

547
01:19:39,620 --> 01:19:46,860
So this will be a project that will face out will identify first which ones which probably would

548
01:19:46,860 --> 01:19:52,840
like the entryway and the exitways in the city, in the main fairways, then we would determine

549
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:59,420
as together when they do this audit, whether facilities should be the next phase and then

550
01:19:59,420 --> 01:19:59,960
fair...

551
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:08,340
Way-finding throughout the city might be the third phase, but they'll come up with that plan based on their audits and the studies that they do.

552
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:12,480
And city manager recommends approval.

553
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:23,660
Thank you. Thank you for the presentation. One of my questions was, in fact, what was displayed in terms of,

554
01:20:23,660 --> 01:20:32,060
And what this contract include, the geographical placements of these signs.

555
01:20:32,260 --> 01:20:40,760
So in other words, the main thoroughfares are entry points into the city, wave finding in

556
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:49,380
our center cores of the city, town center, historic Myanmar, and other areas where there's

557
01:20:49,380 --> 01:20:51,640
you know, prominent public facilities

558
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,880
on to help with with direction.

559
01:20:55,340 --> 01:20:57,920
This is more aspirational

560
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:04,580
and something that I see when driving on the turnpike

561
01:21:04,580 --> 01:21:08,800
and central Florida in North Center Florida.

562
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:11,960
When you're going north,

563
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:14,960
bound, I think in Southbound on the turnpike

564
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:25,340
And you are north of the Orlando area, like Lake County, when you're approaching the villages before the Turnpike merges in the I-75.

565
01:21:27,060 --> 01:21:33,760
They have a very prominent sign on the overpass that goes over the Turnpike that says the villages.

566
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:44,940
On I-75, when you are approaching Ocala, they have a prominent, I mean, it spans over the width of,

567
01:21:44,940 --> 01:21:48,740
of I-75, and the both of these instances.

568
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:52,820
It is just excellent marketing for menincipality,

569
01:21:53,500 --> 01:21:55,760
every traveler that's driving on that road knows

570
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:57,380
they're going through the villages,

571
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:00,960
they know they're going through our approaching O'Cala.

572
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:07,640
Since the term pike is under the direction of F dot,

573
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:08,920
obviously these are specifications,

574
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,060
it can be done, not sure how that's funded,

575
01:22:12,180 --> 01:22:14,320
if it's in partnership with F dot,

576
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:16,480
the turn-pike system are,

577
01:22:16,480 --> 01:22:16,980
are, um,

578
01:22:17,820 --> 01:22:19,060
f dot with those municipalities,

579
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:22,140
but thinking about I-75,

580
01:22:23,780 --> 01:22:25,520
and the Miramar Parkway entrance

581
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:26,980
presents a great opportunity

582
01:22:26,980 --> 01:22:30,340
to do a similar type of branding

583
01:22:30,340 --> 01:22:32,280
when you're riding on 75,

584
01:22:32,420 --> 01:22:34,160
you're just passing through all these municipalities

585
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:37,100
from Western to, um,

586
01:22:38,260 --> 01:22:40,600
to Cooper City to, um,

587
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,620
sunshine ranches and southwest ranches

588
01:22:43,620 --> 01:22:45,680
and then Pembroke Pines and Miramar.

589
01:22:45,820 --> 01:22:48,780
You don't, there's nothing that really identifies.

590
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,140
Unless you know the water tank from Miramar, right?

591
01:22:52,900 --> 01:22:55,620
So, but perhaps in this contract,

592
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:01,000
they can conceptually identify what that procurement process was

593
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:03,880
if there was any collaboration with F.

594
01:23:04,020 --> 01:23:06,940
Obviously, they had to get approval from F.

595
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:10,600
Because it's over their highway or their expressway

596
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:16,100
Just to see what the prospects of what that would be and so we could have some some context

597
01:23:16,100 --> 01:23:23,100
I think it would be something that we could consider if it's, you know, something that the commission would have

598
01:23:24,380 --> 01:23:33,940
Support after this information was generated no decisions tonight, but to see if that could be something that could be studied or included in this analysis

599
01:23:33,940 --> 01:23:36,160
for a design it so

600
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:37,700
that was

601
01:23:37,700 --> 01:23:44,940
the presentation. I do think it's long overdue. We don't have any consistent signage.

602
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:52,700
I do appreciate municipalities that do have a consistent signage throughout the city. We

603
01:23:52,700 --> 01:23:58,400
do have pockets like monarch lakes has throughout their community. That developer puts specific

604
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:06,260
upgraded stop signs and street signs that are nice. When you drive through Darrell, Darrell

605
01:24:06,260 --> 01:24:13,620
has a nice intentional design concept for their stop sign post, their street post.

606
01:24:13,740 --> 01:24:19,340
I think even if you go down south to pinecris, another minutes of power that has like a consistent

607
01:24:19,340 --> 01:24:20,200
signage.

608
01:24:21,280 --> 01:24:30,980
So something for us to contemplate in terms of little ways we can help elevate in this form

609
01:24:30,980 --> 01:24:33,000
of beautification in the city as well.

610
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:40,420
This vendor was actually the designer for Durrell and we also to be

611
01:24:40,420 --> 01:24:45,280
in some kind of consistency. We also shared with them the designs that the

612
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:50,460
commission had approved here for Town Center so that we can continue with that same

613
01:24:50,460 --> 01:24:54,780
concept and there'll be some similarity to it.

614
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,720
We have a couple of speakers. Commissioner Chambers followed by Commissioner

615
01:24:58,720 --> 01:24:59,320
share is on.

616
01:25:00,910 --> 01:25:03,150
Thank you, Mr. Miller, for the presentation.

617
01:25:04,650 --> 01:25:09,390
Question, it's item in front of us, just price.

618
01:25:10,390 --> 01:25:19,650
Is this for the design for all the signs toward the city, or is this for one sign, two, five,

619
01:25:19,710 --> 01:25:28,550
ten, is this design, this is for the design of all the phases that we in my initial meeting

620
01:25:28,550 --> 01:25:31,270
with them, we identified about four different phases,

621
01:25:31,910 --> 01:25:33,650
but they would design all of them.

622
01:25:33,910 --> 01:25:37,450
And this, the award that you would be approving today,

623
01:25:37,890 --> 01:25:42,450
also includes their helping us when these projects go out to bid.

624
01:25:42,890 --> 01:25:45,550
So they would help us prepare the bid packages,

625
01:25:46,050 --> 01:25:50,110
and they would also analyze those bids that are received,

626
01:25:50,390 --> 01:25:52,890
and they would also provide consultation

627
01:25:53,430 --> 01:25:56,470
when the bidder presents their document.

628
01:25:56,470 --> 01:26:04,250
they would help with identifying if the material is correct. And also the installation. So that's what we thought it was very.

629
01:26:04,710 --> 01:26:08,490
So this is a four phase is not five or six plus four.

630
01:26:09,190 --> 01:26:11,650
It's four. I guess.

631
01:26:11,690 --> 01:26:14,550
So if we were to five and six then it's going to be another cost.

632
01:26:15,210 --> 01:26:15,350
Yes.

633
01:26:19,330 --> 01:26:23,310
What if they design something that we don't like it, what happened?

634
01:26:23,310 --> 01:26:40,490
We have, we're, we're excited that they intend to have public meetings, they intend to engage to the stakeholders, they intend to meet with our elected official or a body, and they will come up with different design concepts.

635
01:26:41,070 --> 01:26:53,130
So there are three stages to the design. They'll come back with ideas, probably about four to five ideas, then we'll narrow it down to, to what's selected and then they'll work off of that.

636
01:26:53,310 --> 01:27:09,850
But I'm pretty confident because the vendor, one of the pluses I felt, they brought to the board was that they designed for many different cities and I thought it was beneficial to us that all the designs were different.

637
01:27:10,370 --> 01:27:17,690
They had from designs that were more traditional to more modern and it wasn't like they were all the same.

638
01:27:17,690 --> 01:27:24,130
I think that they're going to, they're goal is to study the city to actually one of the designers

639
01:27:24,130 --> 01:27:30,290
is a resident of Miramar, which I thought was also a plus, but that's their idea to come

640
01:27:30,290 --> 01:27:37,510
back and give you some branding designs and that once we finalize and pick a design, then they

641
01:27:37,510 --> 01:27:43,070
will get the green light to now design the actual signs for these four different phases.

642
01:27:43,070 --> 01:27:46,430
Are we already identified those four phases?

643
01:27:47,670 --> 01:27:47,790
Yes.

644
01:27:48,270 --> 01:27:49,170
I'm also a memory.

645
01:27:50,850 --> 01:27:53,030
The in and out into the city.

646
01:27:53,910 --> 01:27:54,510
The facilities.

647
01:27:55,810 --> 01:27:56,870
The way finding.

648
01:27:59,750 --> 01:28:01,890
And I know there's four.

649
01:28:02,270 --> 01:28:02,770
I can't remember.

650
01:28:03,050 --> 01:28:04,010
I'll have the top of my head.

651
01:28:04,350 --> 01:28:06,650
But those are all the parks.

652
01:28:06,910 --> 01:28:09,150
The parks we're going to have their individual designs.

653
01:28:09,690 --> 01:28:09,950
Okay.

654
01:28:10,010 --> 01:28:10,670
Thank you.

655
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:15,780
So when these signs are designed,

656
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:18,780
I have to come back to the commission, right?

657
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:20,220
Yes.

658
01:28:20,500 --> 01:28:21,600
Or before this.

659
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:21,800
Yes.

660
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:22,620
Whatever the sign is.

661
01:28:23,440 --> 01:28:26,040
And then we're going to have to go to bed to get them to be built.

662
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:29,780
And then once we, once we,

663
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:34,700
they're going to do an entire plan similar to what the mayor was describing,

664
01:28:35,340 --> 01:28:40,400
they'll come with a plan and they will identify what those four phases are

665
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:44,820
And where signs will go in each one of those phases.

666
01:28:46,820 --> 01:28:49,800
So we had a plan done many, many, many years ago.

667
01:28:51,220 --> 01:28:52,880
And obviously we've had a lot of development.

668
01:28:53,300 --> 01:28:55,800
So they're going to look at all the new development.

669
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:59,160
And what are the thoroughways into and out of the city

670
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:00,080
that are most popular?

671
01:29:00,540 --> 01:29:03,020
We have some existing signs that obviously

672
01:29:03,020 --> 01:29:04,740
will get replaced and updated.

673
01:29:05,660 --> 01:29:09,220
So they'll come back with that plan of where

674
01:29:09,220 --> 01:29:15,040
way finding signs should go, where the entry signs would go, what facilities should have

675
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:19,880
signage and design signage appropriate to each one of those facilities.

676
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:34,080
Okay, so you would say that Mayor Marret had gotten so busy, so recognized that you're trying

677
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:44,280
put signs around the city to identify certain inter and turn the city and leave in the city.

678
01:29:44,660 --> 01:29:45,420
Our certain facilities.

679
01:29:46,380 --> 01:29:54,000
Yes, for example, we have distinguished locations like the amphitheater or the ban show

680
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:57,240
or our multi-service complex like all those facilities.

681
01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:59,960
So the way finding would kind of steep.

682
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:15,880
Your visitors that come into the city where they go, it's also a safety thing where you don't know where you're going, you might end up in the wrong, you know, maybe they come out of Mayormore and they think they're still in Mayormore, so it's also a safety feature to have these way finding signs.

683
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:25,680
But I know the mayor mentioned the sign of the highway and some other towns in the city.

684
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:33,660
I'm not sure if I would be in favor of that because Mayor Margot and I know we are so well known.

685
01:30:34,180 --> 01:30:38,340
Every day is at a party and Mayor Margot or something happening or get together.

686
01:30:38,340 --> 01:30:47,580
It's, we don't have more land, we are developing the RAA, so I think the city has gotten so well known

687
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:54,340
and so well like everybody wants to come here and I think we're doing well.

688
01:30:56,120 --> 01:31:03,420
So we still have social programs that need to be funded for our resident to maintain the city

689
01:31:03,420 --> 01:31:14,340
and maintain people lives, so we could go with this, but we still have to look at people

690
01:31:14,340 --> 01:31:19,820
to over and over and over here, we can support them and help them as well, but thank you

691
01:31:19,820 --> 01:31:20,620
for the presentation.

692
01:31:21,580 --> 01:31:21,760
And welcome.

693
01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:26,680
Commissioner Sheresard.

694
01:31:27,100 --> 01:31:27,740
Thank you.

695
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:34,800
Mr. Lair, I just wanted to get a little bit of the history, I know having the way finding

696
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:41,380
is not a novel idea. We must have had, like you mentioned in the past, we've had consultations.

697
01:31:41,620 --> 01:31:48,000
You said there was a previous design in the past. I believe it's almost 17 years.

698
01:31:48,180 --> 01:31:54,000
Like when the city was first done, it was an old plan. Okay. And that had, did that,

699
01:31:54,100 --> 01:31:59,200
is that throughout the city now? Is it in spaces now or was just designed and never came to fruition?

700
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:05,720
it's just it was never came to fruition. I believe we installed one or two in historical

701
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:12,140
Merrimor but we never followed through. I think a lot of development was coming so we

702
01:32:12,140 --> 01:32:20,760
held off until we were ready to come for an updated design. Okay and I saw that in your presentation

703
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:28,560
there was one vendor response. Is this a niche type of business where not many people do this

704
01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:31,400
on and development for us to have had just one response?

705
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:34,400
I'm not exactly sure.

706
01:32:35,020 --> 01:32:40,800
This is the company that reached out to us.

707
01:32:41,220 --> 01:32:46,740
I can tell it probably isn't each because they have done so many cities in South Florida

708
01:32:46,740 --> 01:32:56,860
and the experience that they obviously have that that

709
01:32:56,860 --> 01:33:03,000
the buildings are familiar with the materials and I just, I was overwhelmed of every city I

710
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:07,240
would mention, they had something, you know, sunrise, they did Miami Lakes, they did,

711
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:12,500
so they obviously have a team of professionals that have dedicated themselves to this, that

712
01:33:12,500 --> 01:33:20,220
has given them that, that, that specialty that, that specialized area, but we, we put it

713
01:33:20,220 --> 01:33:24,720
out and we waited and no, no other firm responded.

714
01:33:25,340 --> 01:33:28,680
Can I ask you to clarify your statement just now, please?

715
01:33:29,700 --> 01:33:34,680
They approached us to do the way fairer or did we decide we want to do in fairing signs?

716
01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:36,960
And we put it out of a request of letter of interest.

717
01:33:37,620 --> 01:33:38,080
All righty.

718
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:39,420
Thank you.

719
01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:43,400
The conversation with regards to being consistent.

720
01:33:44,480 --> 01:33:47,100
When they do come up with a plan, is it licensed to us?

721
01:33:47,100 --> 01:33:52,040
Let's say we want to use the plans continuously over and over, do we need their input or

722
01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:57,740
repurchasing the plans for our full use without having to revert to them or refer to them.

723
01:33:58,000 --> 01:33:59,100
No end future iterations.

724
01:33:59,660 --> 01:34:01,860
Yes, we would be the owners of the final design.

725
01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:08,360
Then we would even if we were not to pursue continuing with them for the build out or the

726
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:13,620
overview of the building, we would still those would be our designs.

727
01:34:13,620 --> 01:34:24,240
And finally, that $143,100 does include that assistance with when we do choose a contractor.

728
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:26,980
That's included in this cost, so there's an additional cost.

729
01:34:27,140 --> 01:34:28,820
No, that's included in this cost.

730
01:34:29,580 --> 01:34:31,180
Thank you very much.

731
01:34:32,620 --> 01:34:33,840
Vice Mayor Edwards.

732
01:34:38,690 --> 01:34:44,790
I was looking at the list on the commissioner, COVID-19 followed by Vice Mayor.

733
01:34:50,940 --> 01:34:52,560
Thank you so much for the presentation.

734
01:34:54,480 --> 01:34:59,960
I wasn't sure of a lot of things, but a lot of questions have been asked.

735
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:04,500
And you have answered, made it a question that I've had.

736
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:12,160
I do wonder though, what is the time frame on getting something back from them?

737
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:17,660
And do we have something already in our capital plan for the different phases?

738
01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:28,780
No, we do not. It was something that we had thought about, but we did not want to put anything in until we brought back a formal plan to you for approval.

739
01:35:28,780 --> 01:35:32,600
And then based on each plan, they would each have a different cost.

740
01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:39,200
So once we identified what they would consider would be the first phase priority and so on,

741
01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:40,820
then we would bring that back to you.

742
01:35:40,940 --> 01:35:45,020
We don't expect anything for the next fiscal year because the first step,

743
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,920
we understand we're going to have to come back to you a couple of times.

744
01:35:49,440 --> 01:35:54,360
So probably it'll be for the fiscal year 28 that we would come back.

745
01:35:54,360 --> 01:36:00,460
And then as depending on what that cost would be, then possibly do phase 1 and 2 and 1 year

746
01:36:00,460 --> 01:36:01,400
and so on.

747
01:36:01,660 --> 01:36:06,720
But once the design is done and we see how, how entailed it is and what kind of cost

748
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:10,040
then we would come back with that for you.

749
01:36:10,440 --> 01:36:19,100
Well, I think it would be really nice to see a nice design or designs that are specific to

750
01:36:19,100 --> 01:36:26,140
city and you know we'll make our city unique and identifiable in that matter and

751
01:36:26,140 --> 01:36:33,060
in certainly way-finding for the many locations that we have in our city so I do

752
01:36:33,060 --> 01:36:37,900
look forward to it. I know we've been talking about way-finding signs for a long time

753
01:36:37,900 --> 01:36:42,360
and it just seems like we're getting a lot closer so my thing is like a timeline.

754
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:47,340
So, okay. I appreciate it. Thank you. Look forward to it.

755
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:50,380
Vice Mayor, Edward, you're recognized.

756
01:36:50,660 --> 01:36:53,960
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thanks for the presentation.

757
01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:59,420
As someone in marketing, I pretty much grasp the concept,

758
01:37:00,500 --> 01:37:03,440
and the whole idea of branding the city with a particular look,

759
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:08,280
such as, as mentioned earlier, Darrell, or Miami Lakes.

760
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:10,880
I think it would add a lot to our city here.

761
01:37:11,420 --> 01:37:14,760
The one suggestion I would like to make here,

762
01:37:15,140 --> 01:37:16,900
because we have a major development,

763
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:19,140
the cold, Murmal, cold, that's coming.

764
01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:22,740
And I would not like them to have their own branding,

765
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:25,160
and then our branding is different,

766
01:37:25,440 --> 01:37:34,760
especially since we are just in close proximity to town center.

767
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:42,700
So I would rather like to suggest that we have a conversation with the developers there so

768
01:37:42,700 --> 01:37:49,420
that whatever branding we adopt, we could at least suggest that they use that branding for

769
01:37:49,420 --> 01:37:51,540
continuity throughout the city.

770
01:37:52,280 --> 01:37:57,500
Absolutely. We definitely have a good relationship with them. We can certainly bring that to the table.

771
01:38:00,060 --> 01:38:04,560
All right. Good. Good discussion. May I have a motion on item number four, please?

772
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:07,140
Motion to approve.

773
01:38:07,780 --> 01:38:08,080
Second.

774
01:38:08,780 --> 01:38:10,520
Court of votes.

775
01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:12,780
Mr. Chambers.

776
01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:14,300
Yes.

777
01:38:14,300 --> 01:38:15,140
Mr. Sherisars.

778
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:17,160
Mr. Colburn.

779
01:38:18,020 --> 01:38:18,120
Yes.

780
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:19,240
Vice Mayor Edward.

781
01:38:20,420 --> 01:38:21,040
We are maximum.

782
01:38:22,060 --> 01:38:22,400
Yes.

783
01:38:23,660 --> 01:38:24,740
On to resolutions.

784
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:26,640
Item number 11, please.

785
01:38:27,020 --> 01:38:27,660
Well, six, I'm sorry.

786
01:38:27,820 --> 01:38:28,100
That's right.

787
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:31,300
Commissioner Sherisars pulled item number six.

788
01:38:31,300 --> 01:38:34,540
Item number six, please.

789
01:38:34,540 --> 01:38:36,740
commission of the city of Miramar Florida,

790
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:39,880

797
01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:05,080
and providing for an effective date.

798
01:39:06,860 --> 01:39:07,180
Good evening.

799
01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:08,280
Good evening.

800
01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:13,320
Do you want a presentation or do you have a question?

801
01:39:13,780 --> 01:39:14,600
Presentation, please.

802
01:39:16,060 --> 01:39:18,760
Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, commissioners,

803
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:21,980
City Manager, City Attorney, Deputy City Clerk.

804
01:39:22,620 --> 01:39:25,620
I'm Holly Hicks, Assistant Director for Parks and Recreation.

805
01:39:26,580 --> 01:39:30,280
The item before you tonight is the approval of Temporary Reso.

806
01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:36,720
8679 for park lighting and electrical maintenance services.

807
01:39:37,740 --> 01:39:37,900
Issue.

808
01:39:38,260 --> 01:39:44,180
City Commission approval is required for purchases, exceeding 75,000 per vendor,

809
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:47,560
per fiscal year, and accordance with city codes.

810
01:39:48,480 --> 01:39:48,740
Background.

811
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:52,760
The Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for maintaining,

812
01:39:52,940 --> 01:39:57,400
lighting across athletic fields, walking paths, and park lots,

813
01:39:57,400 --> 01:39:59,840
between all of the community.

814
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:03,680
And neighboring parks, as well as resident recreational facilities.

815
01:40:06,690 --> 01:40:09,810
Background. The city utilizes the services of

816
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:16,290
Imperial Electric Inc to ensure these areas remain properly illuminated, supporting the safety and security

817
01:40:16,290 --> 01:40:19,110
of residents, staff, and visitors alike.

818
01:40:20,710 --> 01:40:31,450
Perkermit. In 2023, the city entered into an agreement with Imperial Electric Inc through a

819
01:40:31,450 --> 01:40:37,910
offered a bid to provide electrical services as of March 31st of this year, total expenditures

820
01:40:37,910 --> 01:40:45,710
under the agreement have reached 74,965, approaching our 75,000 dollar threshold requiring

821
01:40:45,710 --> 01:40:48,350
city commission approval to continue services.

822
01:40:52,100 --> 01:40:54,460
The total expenditure for electrical services

823
01:40:54,460 --> 01:41:01,560
shall not exceed the 150,000 during fiscal year 2026. Funding is budgeted in the Park Improvement

824
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:05,900
council list it below. City Manager recommends approval.

825
01:41:10,780 --> 01:41:35,600
Commissioner Sherrasar. Thank you very much. Again, my question tries to get a little light shed on the historical relationship with this contractor and the annual amounts. I see 75,000 is that the amount used annually. And so far, Jenny for a very March April may five years in, we're at that.

826
01:41:35,620 --> 01:41:37,560
I'm just trying to understand where we're at.

827
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:39,540
So the fiscal year starts in October.

828
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:43,760
So we're about seven months, eight months in.

829
01:41:44,940 --> 01:41:46,380
Typically it just depends.

830
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:51,060
We utilize other vendors as well, but this vendor

831
01:41:51,060 --> 01:41:54,100
we've been utilizing for the longest amount of time.

832
01:41:54,480 --> 01:41:55,560
They know all of our parks.

833
01:41:55,700 --> 01:41:56,820
They know of all our systems.

834
01:41:57,120 --> 01:41:58,420
They're very responsive.

835
01:41:59,420 --> 01:42:04,320
Their pricing is in accordance with this cooperative bid.

836
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:11,260
So when they come out, it's not like you're getting various prices getting charged over the

837
01:42:11,260 --> 01:42:16,120
hour, over the limit, we've recognized that that's happened with other vendors, where

838
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:21,340
you get one price, and then it turns into 10 hours worth of work where you're being charged

839
01:42:21,340 --> 01:42:22,420
additional money.

840
01:42:24,380 --> 01:42:32,100
So typically we spend close to 75,000 with electrical services for the year, a lot of our lights

841
01:42:32,100 --> 01:42:37,880
are older in our parks and so we've had a lot of lights going out and field bites that need

842
01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:42,460
it repairs so we've reached that mark and we want to make sure that we're able to continue

843
01:42:42,460 --> 01:42:47,520
providing these services and have the lights up and running for all of our youth leagues

844
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:52,900
and making sure the parks are safe. So what would it be safe to say that there's been more

845
01:42:52,900 --> 01:42:58,380
activity with the repairs? That's why it's you're asking for a doubling for the next

846
01:42:58,380 --> 01:42:59,920
what three months of the year.

847
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:02,900
So we don't anticipate to spend the whole 75,000,

848
01:43:03,060 --> 01:43:06,140
but we can't anticipate every issue that will happen.

849
01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:10,940
We've had total boxes that have blown out lines

850
01:43:10,940 --> 01:43:13,620
underneath grounds that we've had to dig up and repair.

851
01:43:14,280 --> 01:43:15,600
So we just wanted to be safe.

852
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:19,020
We anticipate somewhere between 20 to 30,000 additional,

853
01:43:19,340 --> 01:43:23,160
but we wanted to have a cushion just in case any emergencies come up.

854
01:43:23,420 --> 01:43:26,860
And is there a bigger issue of needing to update the lighting

855
01:43:26,860 --> 01:43:29,720
and does that bumper the cost of repairs?

856
01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:32,560
So we do have a CIP project

857
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:35,460
that will be coming forward with this submission

858
01:43:35,460 --> 01:43:36,880
for next fiscal year budget.

859
01:43:37,180 --> 01:43:38,980
We had it in last fiscal year budget

860
01:43:38,980 --> 01:43:42,460
where we asked for money to update some of our field lighting.

861
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:45,400
They're over 25 years old at some of these parks

862
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:47,740
and they do require an upgrade

863
01:43:47,740 --> 01:43:49,820
so that we can eliminate the need

864
01:43:49,820 --> 01:43:51,700
for all these additional repairs.

865
01:43:52,220 --> 01:43:53,500
I'm just to thank you so much.

866
01:43:53,940 --> 01:43:54,580
Thank you.

867
01:43:58,420 --> 01:44:03,540
Seeing no other comments or questions, may I have a motion on item number six, please?

868
01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:07,260
Oh, we do have a speaker, hold on a question.

869
01:44:07,380 --> 01:44:08,860
Commissioner Chambers, you had a comment?

870
01:44:10,300 --> 01:44:17,740
Um, so this funds will be, it's like always there in fun.

871
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:25,600
We might use it, we might use some left-offer, and that would go back into the general.

872
01:44:27,380 --> 01:44:28,780
And after fiscal year, right?

873
01:44:28,780 --> 01:44:29,200
Yes.

874
01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:29,740
OK,

875
01:44:32,260 --> 01:44:39,160
because it's a question of a lot more, and we already

876
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:44,020
almost should be here, but I understand that.

877
01:44:44,140 --> 01:44:47,280
A question that I have is that this is pretty much for repairs.

878
01:44:47,700 --> 01:44:50,060
This is not new work, just just repairs.

879
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:51,180
It's just repairs.

880
01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:58,800
The question, I know we do some electrical work for a couple

881
01:44:58,800 --> 01:44:59,560
Um

882
01:45:14,330 --> 01:45:30,350
So we typically utilize one outlet, it has two plugs. We haven't had a need for additional outlets. We're actually adding lighting to the pavilions as well. That's going to be happening before the end of this year.

883
01:45:31,030 --> 01:45:41,670
Which was part of that project, but we haven't had like request for more outlets to power the pavilions, the two have been sick enough.

884
01:45:42,190 --> 01:45:46,750
But what I noticed before they didn't have any outlets.

885
01:45:46,930 --> 01:45:47,390
Yes.

886
01:45:47,390 --> 01:45:48,670
And we decided to put outlets.

887
01:45:49,310 --> 01:45:50,970
And when I go, I'm over here.

888
01:45:51,030 --> 01:45:53,610
I'm trying to plug something in, but then the outlet is well over there.

889
01:45:53,650 --> 01:45:55,730
I understand that one there and one over here.

890
01:45:55,730 --> 01:46:02,790
You have an option because to come back and do another one, it's the same labor during

891
01:46:02,790 --> 01:46:09,810
one time, maybe add in the cost of another outlet or the wire and there should be a lot more

892
01:46:09,810 --> 01:46:16,510
savings to do two, maybe three, but at least two, it's just coming back later.

893
01:46:17,150 --> 01:46:25,710
Yeah, we can definitely explore that option. I see what you're saying. There is a little bit of

894
01:46:25,710 --> 01:46:28,630
I can even see with the current bid for the young.

895
01:46:29,130 --> 01:46:35,950
But I think we need to exercise more, you know, much nicer and I don't want to say common sense.

896
01:46:36,130 --> 01:46:38,330
And I'm not trying to make it feel about our anything.

897
01:46:38,930 --> 01:46:45,630
But I think when we are doing projects, we got to make it more suitable for the client.

898
01:46:46,030 --> 01:46:50,830
You know, our client or the resident folks were renting these facilities.

899
01:46:50,830 --> 01:46:55,610
You know, no plug is frustrating, you're going to get to generate what if you do what

900
01:46:55,610 --> 01:47:01,590
for plug with us at two, but that's just my suggestion and that just electrical, you

901
01:47:01,590 --> 01:47:06,050
know, I didn't want bad to want to put two, it's cheaper to do it one time and done

902
01:47:06,050 --> 01:47:08,030
this stuff coming back, that's just a suggestion.

903
01:47:09,110 --> 01:47:09,190
Anderson.

904
01:47:10,690 --> 01:47:11,490
Thank you.

905
01:47:11,710 --> 01:47:17,790
Do you need any mayor, Madam Vice, Mr. Vice Mayor, commission, you see the City Manager

906
01:47:17,790 --> 01:47:47,670
city attorney, Billy Neanderer, director of parks, and right commission of chambers just to give you a little added update regarding the civilians with the electrical outlets, the outlets are basically for not amplified music, so we have a lot of residents who rent our civilians who come with large DJ equipment that trips the breakers and that's why they're getting

907
01:47:47,790 --> 01:47:54,030
no power because they're trying to put large equipment in a 20-ounce breaker which is not suitable

908
01:47:54,030 --> 01:48:00,450
for those breakers. So they're just basically basically for just a radio just so that

909
01:48:00,450 --> 01:48:05,170
congregation underneath that pavilion can hear have a little music but if they're looking for

910
01:48:05,170 --> 01:48:09,910
large amplifier equipment those outlets are not going to hold that power.

911
01:48:12,270 --> 01:48:22,850
So, maybe we need to have something upfront when we are renting the pavilion and still

912
01:48:22,850 --> 01:48:25,950
doesn't answer my question in terms of having two.

913
01:48:26,090 --> 01:48:30,110
So, if I have a little rating that's suitable for the plug and I've got a plug it over

914
01:48:30,110 --> 01:48:34,110
here and I wanted to be plugged on this side and I'm wondering what you're talking about.

915
01:48:34,110 --> 01:48:39,670
to 20 outbreakers at each prevailing instead of one, two outlets, at each prevailing.

916
01:48:40,750 --> 01:48:48,390
And yeah, so one, because each with all of our new prevailings have one outlet, but two plugs in it.

917
01:48:49,050 --> 01:48:50,870
The other ones don't.

918
01:48:51,290 --> 01:48:57,210
No, I went to the prevailing and I was set up over here and I wanted to plug something

919
01:48:57,210 --> 01:49:00,970
but there was no plug here and I know we just put in some new plug.

920
01:49:00,970 --> 01:49:02,650
they didn't have plug-letcher before.

921
01:49:03,250 --> 01:49:04,770
But we're realizing only do one over here.

922
01:49:04,890 --> 01:49:08,310
So now I have to run an extension card from here over here.

923
01:49:08,430 --> 01:49:12,710
I'm just saying if we have two, it gives me an option of two,

924
01:49:13,230 --> 01:49:15,270
but I want to plug here and plug over here.

925
01:49:15,950 --> 01:49:17,730
But it's, it's, I've, I've put a future.

926
01:49:17,910 --> 01:49:18,390
When we're doing that.

927
01:49:18,410 --> 01:49:19,750
Well, well, well look into it.

928
01:49:19,750 --> 01:49:21,190
Well, we're not saying we're gonna go back.

929
01:49:21,230 --> 01:49:23,090
I'm just saying, when we are doing that,

930
01:49:23,190 --> 01:49:26,050
I'm just doing one just do two at the same time.

931
01:49:26,250 --> 01:49:29,090
We're looking to, we just want to make sure that our residents,

932
01:49:29,090 --> 01:49:36,390
We utilize those for videos, don't try to plug large speakers, amplify music and to those out loud.

933
01:49:36,390 --> 01:49:39,270
But have one that's going to stop them.

934
01:49:39,570 --> 01:49:41,870
Have one that's going to stop someone from plugging in on them.

935
01:49:41,870 --> 01:49:47,330
Yeah, it will stop them but once they plug it in and it trips it, they can't use it anymore.

936
01:49:48,330 --> 01:49:57,370
So in another reason why we don't allow them to actually use those outlets for their equipment because if something happens to their equipment,

937
01:49:57,370 --> 01:49:59,310
Why are they plugging into our outlet?

938
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:05,020
And he'll try to hold the city liable for something that city didn't, you know.

939
01:50:05,420 --> 01:50:11,400
Yeah, but the average person don't know the intricacy of the outlet. They don't understand the

940
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:16,800
amperaging outlet. So they're going to come and try to plug in the way. It's up to the breaker to chip.

941
01:50:17,420 --> 01:50:21,740
Because if the breaker is not up to carrying the load that they're putting it, they're going to go out anyway.

942
01:50:22,320 --> 01:50:29,060
So that's the safety mechanism that's in the breaker. But I understand what you say. Thank you. Thank you so much.

943
01:50:29,060 --> 01:50:30,600
Thank you.

944
01:50:30,820 --> 01:50:33,340
All right, thank you all for the presentation.

945
01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:36,880
If our rental agreements for the Pavilion's don't,

946
01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:39,520
if it has all of that information,

947
01:50:40,540 --> 01:50:43,540
so perhaps so perhaps so this information is available

948
01:50:43,540 --> 01:50:46,620
for our renters and leacers of the Pavilion.

949
01:50:47,380 --> 01:50:50,460
So if one day are leasing and we understand

950
01:50:50,460 --> 01:50:53,820
their bringing equipment, we can just highlight those items.

951
01:50:54,740 --> 01:50:55,260
So, all right.

952
01:50:55,280 --> 01:50:55,640
Absolutely.

953
01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:56,620
Thank you all so much.

954
01:50:56,620 --> 01:50:58,940
May I have a motion on item number six please?

955
01:50:59,140 --> 01:51:00,460
Motion to approve.

956
01:51:00,740 --> 01:51:00,960
That could.

957
01:51:01,520 --> 01:51:02,420
The court of votes.

958
01:51:03,180 --> 01:51:04,000
Mr. Chamber.

959
01:51:04,920 --> 01:51:06,220
Mr. Scherzard.

960
01:51:06,700 --> 01:51:06,760

For the flat portion, go back.

1080
01:59:12,320 --> 01:59:18,160
For the flat portion, which is known as a built-up roofing system, hot tar, as well.

1081
01:59:18,360 --> 01:59:21,260
You're going to have a 25-year warranty.

1082
01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:25,500
The entire roofing system around the perimeter is going to be a 20-year warranty.

1083
01:59:25,500 --> 01:59:32,840
22. 22 year from the title 25 for the S fault built up roof system.

1084
01:59:33,880 --> 01:59:38,500
Are we going to get a surety bond on this?

1085
01:59:39,380 --> 01:59:41,540
The company going to bond the job?

1086
01:59:41,860 --> 01:59:43,100
No, there is insurance.

1087
01:59:44,620 --> 01:59:45,380
Performance bond?

1088
01:59:45,660 --> 01:59:46,300
No, no.

1089
01:59:54,630 --> 01:59:55,950
No, there is no performance bond.

1090
01:59:56,110 --> 01:59:56,830
No, it's not required.

1091
01:59:57,010 --> 01:59:57,830
Is it not as a required?

1092
01:59:58,370 --> 01:59:59,910
No, it wasn't required for this one.

1093
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:08,360
We've done business with this vendor before for the prior two roofs, and they performed pretty well.

1094
02:00:08,380 --> 02:00:12,540
Is this the same vendor that the police, the substation out there?

1095
02:00:12,760 --> 02:00:15,140
Yeah, the substation and also YEC.

1096
02:00:15,640 --> 02:00:15,820
Yeah.

1097
02:00:16,700 --> 02:00:18,020
Didn't we have some leaks?

1098
02:00:19,180 --> 02:00:19,480
No.

1099
02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:21,060
Yeah, we didn't have leaks out there.

1100
02:00:21,500 --> 02:00:24,160
No. There were no leaks after those roofs were complete.

1101
02:00:24,860 --> 02:00:26,060
That was misinformation.

1102
02:00:26,940 --> 02:00:27,960
How much you want a bet?

1103
02:00:29,240 --> 02:00:42,200
Whatever you want to substitute, whatever you want to do, we had the, when those roofs, when that leak was reported, the contractor went out there and it was deemed there was not roof leaks out there.

1104
02:00:42,480 --> 02:00:43,860
It was a result of the air condition.

1105
02:00:44,680 --> 02:00:45,880
Well, the AC that was leaking?

1106
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:47,520
Yes, sir.

1107
02:00:48,860 --> 02:00:56,380
And also at YAC, it was a result of the plumbing, plumbing, gutters, plumbing, our work.

1108
02:00:56,380 --> 02:00:59,320
I'm sorry, plumbing drains. It was not the roof.

1109
02:00:59,900 --> 02:01:03,360
Okay, but they were responsible for making sure, I'm sorry.

1110
02:01:03,720 --> 02:01:09,980
They were responsible for making sure that the AC was secured,

1111
02:01:12,220 --> 02:01:12,280
whatever.

1112
02:01:13,420 --> 02:01:26,360
Yeah, to my knowledge, what happened, the AC, there was temporary AC units up there, and one of the duck work came up.

1113
02:01:26,360 --> 02:01:37,820
on a attach, and as it rained, the rainwater was getting inside the temporary AC calls in a leak inside the gun range.

1114
02:01:38,780 --> 02:01:42,480
So it was never roofed leak after this new roof was installed.

1115
02:01:47,440 --> 02:01:53,280
Do you're a department that respond to a football vibe in the job, making sure it's inspection inspecting the job,

1116
02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:56,660
the different phase of it, making sure it's done correctly, right?

1117
02:01:56,660 --> 02:02:04,320
I'm sorry sir. Could you repeat that? In terms of inspecting the job to make sure the

1118
02:02:04,320 --> 02:02:10,220
different phases done correctly, I see a department or the building inspector.

1119
02:02:10,280 --> 02:02:12,480
It's the building inspector. It's an independent department.

1120
02:02:13,320 --> 02:02:16,000
Okay. All right. Thank you. All right.

1121
02:02:18,370 --> 02:02:19,050
Commissioner Averrell.

1122
02:02:20,450 --> 02:02:26,150
Thank you. I just had a question that kind of follows a similar line of questioning, but it

1123
02:02:26,150 --> 02:02:32,430
related to the warranty and if there's a built-in maintenance agreement with the builder and

1124
02:02:32,430 --> 02:02:34,890
how often does that maintenance take place?

1125
02:02:35,230 --> 02:02:40,590
There is a built-in maintenance agreement and there will be yearly inspections as one of

1126
02:02:40,590 --> 02:02:41,990
the warranties intact, yes, ma'am.

1127
02:02:42,250 --> 02:02:43,210
Thank you.

1128
02:02:45,580 --> 02:02:56,100
Also for the public benefit, when there's a re-roof on a roofing system in our case, a

1129
02:02:56,100 --> 02:02:57,800
commercial roofing system,

1130
02:03:01,210 --> 02:03:07,110
the warranty is not just with the roofer, it's with also the

1131
02:03:07,110 --> 02:03:17,430
manufacturer and for the manufacturer to guarantee a 25 or 20 year warranty during the installation

1132
02:03:17,430 --> 02:03:23,790
of that roofing system, they send out representatives to inspect and progress inspections

1133
02:03:23,790 --> 02:03:29,170
to ensure that the roof is installing the materials according to the design specifications.

1134
02:03:29,450 --> 02:03:36,210
That is the only way that they will warrant the work that has been installed.

1135
02:03:37,070 --> 02:03:41,590
So during that observation process of the installation of the roofing system,

1136
02:03:41,830 --> 02:03:48,950
then now they are putting their company on the hook as for the materials and then that is also

1137
02:03:48,950 --> 02:03:52,930
in addition to the installers on warranty.

1138
02:03:54,490 --> 02:03:56,850
So in addition to the inspections,

1139
02:03:56,970 --> 02:03:58,810
whether it's through the building department

1140
02:03:58,810 --> 02:04:02,610
or if it's a special inspector for the roofing system,

1141
02:04:03,250 --> 02:04:06,190
there are several lies on the process

1142
02:04:06,190 --> 02:04:09,930
that are independent even just from our building department.

1143
02:04:10,950 --> 02:04:13,490
So like in any construction process,

1144
02:04:13,490 --> 02:04:16,710
um, um, um, um, um, um, for seeing conditions can come.

1145
02:04:16,950 --> 02:04:21,830
May happen, uh, but that is, um, um, um, the process of during, during construction,

1146
02:04:22,150 --> 02:04:26,830
but this is being approved with a full warranty.

1147
02:04:27,310 --> 02:04:31,470
That warranty process has a process in place where the,

1148
02:04:31,470 --> 02:04:36,190
the manufacturers involved, the contractors involve, our building department.

1149
02:04:36,750 --> 02:04:38,230
It's also, um, involved.

1150
02:04:38,650 --> 02:04:41,850
And even after the instructions, um, when everything is complete,

1151
02:04:41,990 --> 02:04:42,850
if there's a leak,

1152
02:04:43,590 --> 02:04:49,830
Then we have our warranty to call on on the roof for as well as the manufacturers for them to correct that issue

1153
02:04:49,830 --> 02:04:56,890
That's just public information on for the community. Maybe we have a motion on item number 12, please

1154
02:04:56,890 --> 02:04:58,350
Motion to approve

1155
02:05:01,230 --> 02:05:06,250
Second, word votes, yes,

1156
02:05:11,310 --> 02:05:16,250
yes, yes, I don't know my 13 please, a residence in the city of

1157
02:05:16,250 --> 02:05:24,030
more Florida, approving the award of a construction services contract in the amount of $556,700

1158
02:05:24,030 --> 02:05:34,270
with a contingency of $40,000 for a total project of $596,700 to service corporation for the

1159
02:05:34,270 --> 02:05:40,890
post-the fall completion of the 9-11 memorial monument at the Merimory Regional Park, waving

1160
02:05:40,890 --> 02:05:45,670
the standard competitive bidding process with four fifth vote in the best interest of the

1161
02:05:45,670 --> 02:05:54,050
and the acceptance of the payment in the amount of 309,670,515 cents from the Ohio casualty insurance

1162
02:05:54,050 --> 02:06:00,050
company and liberty mutual surety in connection with the performance upon issue to JZT Utilities

1163
02:06:00,050 --> 02:06:06,770
Inc. for the 911 Monument Project authorized in the city manager to execute all required

1164
02:06:06,770 --> 02:06:09,170
agreements and providing for an effective date.

1165
02:06:13,410 --> 02:06:15,110
The city attorney's office will present this

1166
02:06:15,110 --> 02:06:23,190
item. This is temporary resolution 8710 settlement payments. Issue Commission approval is required

1167
02:06:23,190 --> 02:06:30,230
to award a construction services contract in the amount of $596,700 to the service corporation

1168
02:06:30,230 --> 02:06:36,130
for the 9-11 Memorial Monument Project, waving a standard, competitive bidding process with

1169
02:06:36,130 --> 02:06:41,030
a four-fifths vote and the best interest of the city and accepting sure it is post-fall.

1170
02:06:41,030 --> 02:06:47,510
post-the-fault completion payment of 309,670,000 and 15 cents.

1171
02:06:48,990 --> 02:06:56,190
Background. On September 5, 2024, there was a notice of contract termination issued to the

1172
02:06:56,190 --> 02:07:04,650
underlying contract to JZT utilities. On December 13, 2024, the city filed a claim with the Ohio

1173
02:07:04,650 --> 02:07:11,530
casualty insurance company and liberty mutual surety. Essentially advising the surety that the

1174
02:07:11,530 --> 02:07:18,370
contractor was in default under the existing performance or scope of services of original contract.

1175
02:07:19,190 --> 02:07:24,210
Background, as permitted by the bond, the surety can arrange for the completion of the project.

1176
02:07:25,050 --> 02:07:30,410
The surety obtained three quotes to complete the post, the false project scope, and selected

1177
02:07:30,410 --> 02:07:36,450
service corporation as the best qualified responsible and responsive bidder.

1178
02:07:38,520 --> 02:07:44,120
These are the items that are highlighted for the post-the-fall project scope of services

1179
02:07:44,120 --> 02:07:51,920
that service will complete in light of the underlying contractor JZTs default.

1180
02:07:52,540 --> 02:07:56,980
The scope of work will include but not limited to masonry placement of repairs,

1181
02:07:56,980 --> 02:08:01,400
the shroud and the obliques, site lighting, lake fountains,

1182
02:08:01,700 --> 02:08:05,460
pavement correction, a assurance of permit to close out.

1183
02:08:07,360 --> 02:08:10,040
Further background, on March 26th, 2026,

1184
02:08:10,580 --> 02:08:12,240
in response to the city's claim,

1185
02:08:12,700 --> 02:08:16,040
the surety offered to pay the city 309,000,

1186
02:08:16,200 --> 02:08:22,080
670 and 15 cents towards the documented and verified amounts being claimed.

1187
02:08:23,520 --> 02:08:32,380
These are just current photos of the monument and the condition that will be addressed

1188
02:08:32,380 --> 02:08:36,480
by service to complete the post-the-fault work.

1189
02:08:40,460 --> 02:08:46,720
These remaining items are a matter of essence because, a longer, it takes for these items

1190
02:08:46,720 --> 02:08:52,440
to be completed, as you can imagine, the items will continue to cause the project to

1191
02:08:52,440 --> 02:08:54,040
in deterioration.

1192
02:09:01,540 --> 02:09:06,580
So the project cost complete the post-default work, the

1193
02:09:06,580 --> 02:09:13,060
bit amount by service was $56, $700,000, and there's a contingency that

1194
02:09:13,060 --> 02:09:18,780
the surety has amount for $40,000, so the contingency or a surety project

1195
02:09:18,780 --> 02:09:24,760
price, I'm sorry the contingency amount and surety project price total is $596,000.

1196
02:09:24,760 --> 02:09:25,320
$1,000.

1197
02:09:26,040 --> 02:09:30,740
Highlighting this part of the slide is that if the city does not utilize the contingency

1198
02:09:30,740 --> 02:09:36,660
amount, those funds will also be credited back to the city, in other words, the city

1199
02:09:36,660 --> 02:09:38,520
will keep the contingency amount.

1200
02:09:40,740 --> 02:09:47,340
So the analysis of the breakdown remaining, once the shortest payment is calculated, the contingency

1201
02:09:47,340 --> 02:09:54,580
total included, the total payment from the city to complete the project will be 287,000.

1202
02:09:54,580 --> 02:09:59,980
30 dollars. City manager recommends approval. There's one.

1203
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:16,000
Additional item that should be noted for this presentation as to why the city attorney's office is doing this, is because the underlying contractor JCT back in December issued a notice of claim to the city.

1204
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:19,560
I shouldn't say a notice of claim, a notice of intent to sue the city.

1205
02:10:20,240 --> 02:10:27,060
We have not received a complaint or any stated of grounds or basis for their allegations.

1206
02:10:28,040 --> 02:10:31,980
So out of our abundance of caution, the City Attorney's Office is presenting this item.

1207
02:10:32,800 --> 02:10:34,500
City Manager recommends approval.

1208
02:10:36,500 --> 02:10:37,400
Thank you for the presentation.

1209
02:10:37,660 --> 02:10:42,160
Commissioner Sherras, well before Commissioner Sherras are, the clerk received no request

1210
02:10:43,120 --> 02:10:48,040
from the public to speak on this item. Does any member of the public present in a commission

1211
02:10:48,040 --> 02:10:50,360
chambers wish to speak on item number 13?

1212
02:10:52,580 --> 02:10:54,340
Any members from the public wish to speak on item

1213
02:10:54,340 --> 02:10:58,680
number 13? Seeing none back to the commission, commissioners, shareers are followed by commissioner

1214
02:10:58,680 --> 02:11:07,920
chambers. Thank you very much. I wanted to just ask for a figure on what the initial project

1215
02:11:07,920 --> 02:11:12,100
the cost was and what the final project cost is estimated to be with

1216
02:11:12,100 --> 02:11:14,760
without this contingency included.

1217
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:21,240
The original, if I may have staff to give you the exact number, the original contract,

1218
02:11:21,640 --> 02:11:26,340
cost I believe was about 900, just under a million dollars, but we'll get the exact cost.

1219
02:11:26,340 --> 02:11:26,640
$75,

1220
02:11:28,900 --> 02:11:28,900
1975,

1221
02:11:31,100 --> 02:11:32,060
$975,

1222
02:11:34,730 --> 02:11:34,730
yeah.

1223
02:11:35,170 --> 02:11:41,270
And as I noted in the slide, the balance, that was the initial course, yes, that would you

1224
02:11:41,270 --> 02:11:46,070
asking, that was the initial course, yes, $975,000, yes ma'am.

1225
02:11:46,890 --> 02:11:51,930
And that project completion plus or minus is $40,000, how much would it be, I hope the door

1226
02:11:51,930 --> 02:11:54,670
once it's done, considering this passes.

1227
02:11:56,880 --> 02:12:02,100
going to project he did have, the contract that did have change orders, I would say, approximately

1228
02:12:02,760 --> 02:12:10,460
about one point, if you were to accept this settlement, probably about one point, four

1229
02:12:10,460 --> 02:12:10,740
a million.

1230
02:12:19,040 --> 02:12:21,160
Okay, thank you.

1231
02:12:21,920 --> 02:12:26,120
Commissioner Chambers, again, thank you for that presentation.

1232
02:12:26,680 --> 02:12:28,780
Can we put the slides back up please,

1233
02:12:36,420 --> 02:12:38,160
go back to the Granite, Granite,

1234
02:12:41,090 --> 02:12:42,110
keep it on the

1235
02:12:42,110 --> 02:12:42,370
Right?

1236
02:12:51,420 --> 02:12:51,680
Okay.

1237
02:12:56,590 --> 02:13:04,930
This speak to my comment earlier with the Reuter Board and the

1238
02:13:04,930 --> 02:13:12,470
Condominant and Work. And this also speak to a lot of contract that I've

1239
02:13:12,470 --> 02:13:15,950
started to hear. Kind of items that we have approved for the city with

1240
02:13:15,950 --> 02:13:27,240
contractor, that we get these rush shabby jobs and people in our city,

1241
02:13:29,700 --> 02:13:31,020
taxpayer money,

1242
02:13:31,420 --> 02:13:37,480
we get out to do better, and whole people accountable for these jobs.

1243
02:13:38,260 --> 02:13:48,460
This thing started before the guy even finished the job, as far as this coloration, and

1244
02:13:48,460 --> 02:13:55,040
It's just horrible, horrible, horrible, it's a spoo report.

1245
02:13:55,920 --> 02:13:57,100
Thank you.

1246
02:14:01,590 --> 02:14:04,450
Thanks for the presentation, I'm at Mr. Attorney.

1247
02:14:05,730 --> 02:14:09,930
I think this is an example of contract enforcement.

1248
02:14:11,730 --> 02:14:17,950
A contractor was selected through a competitive bit process.

1249
02:14:20,050 --> 02:14:25,050
Contractor was contracted to do it up to perform the work.

1250
02:14:25,810 --> 02:14:30,410
This contractor during the course of construction had

1251
02:14:33,070 --> 02:14:35,050
met immense challenges.

1252
02:14:35,750 --> 02:14:39,270
Some justified, some questionable, in terms of unforeseen,

1253
02:14:39,270 --> 02:14:48,790
by recall updates on this project and city staff has worked, did their best to work with

1254
02:14:48,790 --> 02:14:57,750
this contract in terms of my understanding and apparently the contract has struggled and

1255
02:14:57,750 --> 02:14:59,170
the third.

1256
02:15:00,110 --> 02:15:03,510
I think

1257
02:15:05,780 --> 02:15:19,360
when you go back and look at all the items that have come back before this commission and where we are today, I think this item is the city protecting itself.

1258
02:15:19,360 --> 02:15:27,080
It, it's sure it was contacted regarding the work in the city's claim.

1259
02:15:28,040 --> 02:15:36,740
The surety is cooperating with the city and providing dollars to complete this work and to correct

1260
02:15:37,360 --> 02:15:38,700
faulty work.

1261
02:15:40,460 --> 02:15:42,500
The work was not completed.

1262
02:15:42,780 --> 02:15:47,840
I think it was their addition of funding that was still remaining to complete the work

1263
02:15:47,840 --> 02:15:55,320
contractor has not completed that work that work was has been duly budgeted for the project.

1264
02:15:55,680 --> 02:16:02,580
So the remaining balance to complete the work, plus the surety's payment for the claim that

1265
02:16:02,580 --> 02:16:11,440
the city has is sufficient to pay for the new vendor who's coming into correct the work

1266
02:16:11,440 --> 02:16:19,540
a competitive process that was done by the surety and contract that now, if passed through

1267
02:16:19,540 --> 02:16:31,200
the city. So I think this item is the city protecting itself, stepping in ultimately

1268
02:16:31,200 --> 02:16:39,400
after not being able to finish this work with the contractor, contacting the surety, and

1269
02:16:39,400 --> 02:16:47,320
their surety has responded and provided funding to correct what obviously needs to be corrected

1270
02:16:47,320 --> 02:16:49,920
to complete this project.

1271
02:16:51,660 --> 02:16:55,960
So I'm in support of moving forward with this item so that we can get this work ultimately

1272
02:16:55,960 --> 02:16:58,040
completed and correct it.

1273
02:16:58,120 --> 02:16:59,460
Commissioner Chambers, you're recognized.

1274
02:16:59,940 --> 02:17:02,980
Thank you.

1275
02:17:02,980 --> 02:17:07,960
I wish the funding was adequate to cover the costs.

1276
02:17:09,080 --> 02:17:09,780
It's very inadequate.

1277
02:17:12,860 --> 02:17:14,040
And I know from time to time,

1278
02:17:14,220 --> 02:17:17,880
this contract didn't just follow the sky.

1279
02:17:19,340 --> 02:17:20,200
They came from somewhere,

1280
02:17:22,690 --> 02:17:27,570
someone encouraged them to come and get the work here.

1281
02:17:27,650 --> 02:17:29,470
When we could have a better contract,

1282
02:17:29,470 --> 02:17:36,410
Because I don't know how many things that we bring for it, that's end up hurting the city,

1283
02:17:36,750 --> 02:17:38,650
people walk away with money, lawsuits.

1284
02:17:40,430 --> 02:17:47,110
I see where we bring items for our resident, and then it ended up quite a few things

1285
02:17:47,650 --> 02:17:51,830
since I've been here, and ended up hurting our resident immensely.

1286
02:17:52,930 --> 02:17:57,130
But I mean, that some of them lose their home.

1287
02:17:58,660 --> 02:18:05,160
We have to be more careful, and more vet to a better vet in process,

1288
02:18:07,340 --> 02:18:22,080
and especially when we're bringing stuff for our resident to guarantee them that, yes, you could use this program, you could use this project, this contractor, and not knowing that our resident is going to be heart badly.

1289
02:18:23,860 --> 02:18:32,250
And lose their hard-harned money, investment in their homes and so forth, it's, it's,

1290
02:18:33,200 --> 02:18:44,060
we have a duty to be vigilant, and if something is not going right, stepping on, fixed it.

1291
02:18:45,820 --> 02:18:46,640
It's not a good thing.

1292
02:18:47,200 --> 02:18:48,840
Thank you.

1293
02:18:49,380 --> 02:18:50,700
Commissioner Sheresard, recognize.

1294
02:18:51,480 --> 02:18:52,100
Thank you.

1295
02:18:52,100 --> 02:19:03,880
I just wanted to go back to just the mayor's comment and ask for clarity if this initial vendor was chosen through competitive bidding or were they a piggyback agreement.

1296
02:19:04,860 --> 02:19:15,920
There was a competitive process where this contractor was the lowest was deemed to be the lowest responsive bitter, but I think the highlight was already made on the days

1297
02:19:15,920 --> 02:19:22,060
So that once we go through the statutory procurement process and a vendor has selected

1298
02:19:22,060 --> 02:19:28,920
as the lowest response of bidder, it's incumbent upon the city to have boxes checked to

1299
02:19:28,920 --> 02:19:31,480
protect the taxpayers, which is what was done here.

1300
02:19:32,120 --> 02:19:34,160
There was a performance bond required.

1301
02:19:35,040 --> 02:19:41,820
That's why the surety sent its folks out to inspect the project and determine on its own accord

1302
02:19:41,820 --> 02:19:47,580
that the project was not performed up to the scope of services and the bid documents.

1303
02:19:48,080 --> 02:19:55,240
So that's the reason why the surety is stepping in and providing a payment and a contract

1304
02:19:55,240 --> 02:19:59,920
through its many solicitation process to remedy the...

1305
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:29,620
To the work. I tell everyone this, and it might sound like a panacea. Contracts are great. You know, handshakes are great. Once the shovel gets into ground and folks start doing the work. You never know what you're going to get. You can get the best contractor. You can get an average contractor. The best might not complete it. The average contractor might complete it. So, all we're left with is making sure that we have the safe cards in place, which is what the case is here.

1306
02:20:29,620 --> 02:20:37,220
Now, the contractors I know it has alleged that they feel the grief, you know, we'll see what they do.

1307
02:20:39,230 --> 02:20:46,170
So, I want to also take this opportunity while I have the mic and speaking about how the bidding process happens.

1308
02:20:46,850 --> 02:20:53,950
I've seen on various occasions where we would choose a bitter.

1309
02:20:54,370 --> 02:20:56,150
They were not the lowest competitive.

1310
02:20:56,150 --> 02:21:01,230
If they were not, they were not always, it's not always about the lowest.

1311
02:21:01,830 --> 02:21:03,710
It's all sometimes about the most qualified.

1312
02:21:04,010 --> 02:21:06,670
Sometimes you're the lowest, but you're not the most qualified.

1313
02:21:06,890 --> 02:21:08,610
Sometimes you're higher, but we chose somebody.

1314
02:21:09,130 --> 02:21:11,410
There's a lot of variation in how it happens.

1315
02:21:11,630 --> 02:21:20,610
And then we have to make a decision just based off of the whatever the mood was in that moment.

1316
02:21:21,170 --> 02:21:23,670
How you chose, it's not always the lowest qualified.

1317
02:21:23,670 --> 02:21:26,510
and there's never ever a system that tells us,

1318
02:21:26,530 --> 02:21:28,610
well, this is why we didn't go with the lowest qualified.

1319
02:21:28,890 --> 02:21:30,930
This is why this other person had more points.

1320
02:21:30,970 --> 02:21:32,410
And this is why we chose them.

1321
02:21:32,730 --> 02:21:37,230
Maybe a little more insight on our side as to why we didn't go with lowest.

1322
02:21:37,330 --> 02:21:38,750
Why we went with the more qualified.

1323
02:21:39,150 --> 02:21:40,530
So we don't understand why.

1324
02:21:40,630 --> 02:21:44,070
Yeah, they were low, but we have some history that they don't close.

1325
02:21:44,550 --> 02:21:48,010
Or they were high, but they have such an excellent quality.

1326
02:21:48,510 --> 02:21:51,250
That would help a little bit more, because it's so much variation

1327
02:21:51,250 --> 02:21:57,430
in why we chose who we chose and as long as fairness and the right decision is made.

1328
02:21:57,570 --> 02:22:02,350
I'm happy with that, but I still don't ever get enough because there's so much variation

1329
02:22:02,350 --> 02:22:04,770
in why we went with who we went with.

1330
02:22:08,020 --> 02:22:12,340
Commissioner Sherisard, I'd like to add some perspective

1331
02:22:12,340 --> 02:22:20,140
in context in terms of the procurement process and government contracting. Obviously on my

1332
02:22:20,140 --> 02:22:30,720
private side, I do a lot in government contracting, government procurement professionals

1333
02:22:31,940 --> 02:22:44,020
stand by or obligated to follow our procurement code and industry standards and procurement.

1334
02:22:45,160 --> 02:22:51,280
Most municipalities and procurement professionals go by NIGP, which is the National Institute

1335
02:22:51,280 --> 02:22:58,300
government purchasers, there's clear standards and how there is transparency in fairness

1336
02:22:58,300 --> 02:22:59,620
and procurement process.

1337
02:23:00,800 --> 02:23:05,920
When it comes to construction projects, it really depends on the owner and in our case

1338
02:23:05,920 --> 02:23:11,420
the city and how we procure and what will be the delivery method for our construction projects.

1339
02:23:12,020 --> 02:23:17,100
I won't go through all of them, but the most common are ITBs which are invitations to

1340
02:23:18,100 --> 02:23:28,900
If it's a more complex project, the delivery method may be construction manager at risk, it really depends on how we are delivering the project.

1341
02:23:29,660 --> 02:23:34,760
Invitations to bid are, it's not just the lowest bid, it's the lowest responsive bid.

1342
02:23:34,920 --> 02:23:40,080
These bid documents are very prescriptive. You have to follow specific instructions.

1343
02:23:40,080 --> 02:23:47,380
Sometimes someone may bid that they have the lowest cost proposal, but when you dig deeper

1344
02:23:47,380 --> 02:23:52,160
into their scope of work and their coverage of the scope of work, their knowledge of

1345
02:23:52,160 --> 02:24:00,820
the project, oftentimes when the procurement reviews, the bid documents, they may be

1346
02:24:00,820 --> 02:24:05,420
missing scopes of work, which may contribute to them being the lowest bidder.

1347
02:24:05,420 --> 02:24:10,280
And in those instances, those responders are deemed

1348
02:24:10,280 --> 02:24:15,620
non-responsive, even though that they may have the lowest bid.

1349
02:24:16,780 --> 02:24:20,200
So that may be one reason why when they bring forward

1350
02:24:20,200 --> 02:24:23,380
and we ask the cost of the bid and we see the bid tabulation

1351
02:24:23,380 --> 02:24:26,660
and we see that the recommended vendor,

1352
02:24:27,080 --> 02:24:29,680
that may be the case in some of those instances.

1353
02:24:29,680 --> 02:24:59,660
So, I just don't want, and I would encourage every, for those who feel to learn more to sit down with procurement, to see the various delivery methods, so that when these items come before us, it just would add to additional information that each of us will have in our approval or rejection of the recommendation to move forward.

1354
02:24:59,680 --> 02:24:59,980
I just...

1355
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:27,420
Don't want there to be any indication or sentiment that these vendors are just chosen by the mood or the sentiment of our staff and the vendors that are proposing, because there's very prescriptive instructions on these bid documents that these bidders must meet.

1356
02:25:27,420 --> 02:25:37,300
That is why there's a challenge process or a bid protest process that each bidder has the opportunity to exercise and

1357
02:25:37,940 --> 02:25:46,000
If the city cannot demonstrate that we follow the specific instructions in our bid documents

1358
02:25:46,000 --> 02:25:51,640
That protestor will be deemed successful in their bid protest. So

1359
02:25:51,640 --> 02:26:10,340
So I just want the public to know that that is what is the choir of our procurement department and that is to my knowledge, how our staff behaves and that's why we have a contract to deal with these issues that we're dealing with today.

1360
02:26:10,340 --> 02:26:14,720
the city has provisions to protect itself. In this case, we went to the

1361
02:26:14,720 --> 02:26:19,020
surety. Surety is giving us money. We're combining it with the unused funds to

1362
02:26:19,020 --> 02:26:23,100
complete this project so that we can move forward. So I just wanted to add

1363
02:26:23,100 --> 02:26:30,760
that additional context for just context. Commissioner Chambers, after Commissioner

1364
02:26:30,760 --> 02:26:35,160
Chambers, we'll move for I'll take a motion for the vote. Commissioner Chambers

1365
02:26:35,160 --> 02:26:35,720
recognize.

1366
02:26:38,200 --> 02:26:43,860
Oh, I'm not. Maybe if we can have, so let me, let me go to Commissioner Coburn first.

1367
02:26:44,020 --> 02:26:48,460
I'm not, you're not showing up as a speaker. So just raise your rate. Just let me know when you

1368
02:26:48,460 --> 02:26:54,820
want to speak. Commissioner Coburn, you recognize. Thank you. I just wanted to add a few things to the

1369
02:26:54,820 --> 02:27:02,720
conversation. I do agree, you know, it is unfortunate that we are where we are with this project.

1370
02:27:02,720 --> 02:27:16,620
It is a project that we, you know, we were very happy about initially and I think it is still a great project and it's one that I would like to see completed.

1371
02:27:19,400 --> 02:27:22,420
What gives me comfort here is one.

1372
02:27:22,420 --> 02:27:25,420
I do have confidence in our procurement system.

1373
02:27:27,120 --> 02:27:31,820
When I have any questions in terms of the procurement process,

1374
02:27:32,900 --> 02:27:38,340
it has been answered, and I have never had any problem

1375
02:27:38,340 --> 02:27:40,900
with our procurement system.

1376
02:27:41,520 --> 02:27:45,360
What gives me the most confidence in moving forward with it,

1377
02:27:45,720 --> 02:27:47,280
is the assurity bond.

1378
02:27:47,280 --> 02:27:59,180
The fact that they have been willing to pay, that kind of seals it for me in terms of moving forward,

1379
02:27:59,780 --> 02:28:11,980
and I do want to see this project completed, and it has taken a long time, and if this is the final step of it,

1380
02:28:11,980 --> 02:28:18,180
I would certainly move to approve this at the appropriate time.

1381
02:28:18,560 --> 02:28:20,180
Thank you commissioner chambers.

1382
02:28:20,480 --> 02:28:22,340
Thank you.

1383
02:28:22,500 --> 02:28:23,000
Come to the chair.

1384
02:28:23,840 --> 02:28:26,840
No, I've gotten a lesson in the procurement process.

1385
02:28:28,080 --> 02:28:33,480
Yesterday, I went to visit the home here in Maramar at a friend of mine with me.

1386
02:28:33,620 --> 02:28:36,340
And we're looking at the work that was done.

1387
02:28:36,340 --> 02:28:44,960
And the garage looks beautifully done with that nice code in drive will well done and lady

1388
02:28:44,960 --> 02:28:52,200
acts the homeowner who done the garage the floor for you said this company she said

1389
02:28:52,200 --> 02:28:59,320
how can I use them can I get the information and the gentleman said no I'm not going to

1390
02:28:59,320 --> 02:29:10,200
And he started pointed out the infraction, the problems, and he refused to recommend that person.

1391
02:29:11,220 --> 02:29:13,100
He said, I'd used someone before and they were very good.

1392
02:29:13,780 --> 02:29:15,340
And I just couldn't find their number.

1393
02:29:16,540 --> 02:29:18,320
The same guy to say this.

1394
02:29:19,240 --> 02:29:23,120
One thing the public know is that sometimes you must recommend the friend.

1395
02:29:23,440 --> 02:29:24,940
And sometimes you must bring the friend.

1396
02:29:24,940 --> 02:29:27,460
They want them to bring it for an everywhere, not everybody.

1397
02:29:28,720 --> 02:29:29,380
That's all I'm saying.

1398
02:29:29,800 --> 02:29:30,720
Thank you.

1399
02:29:32,580 --> 02:29:34,800
I have a motion on item number 13, please.

1400
02:29:34,980 --> 02:29:35,460
Just a minute before we go.

1401
02:29:35,460 --> 02:29:36,460
Motion to approve.

1402
02:29:36,900 --> 02:29:40,880
I just wanted to clarify the might have been a miss speak.

1403
02:29:41,800 --> 02:29:45,580
The total original contract price was $9, 1938,000.

1404
02:29:45,820 --> 02:29:47,360
I just want to make sure that the records clear.

1405
02:29:50,050 --> 02:29:51,270
Member motion, please.

1406
02:29:51,590 --> 02:29:52,330
Motion to approve.

1407
02:29:52,910 --> 02:29:53,230
Second.

1408
02:29:53,990 --> 02:29:54,750
Record the votes.

1409
02:29:56,130 --> 02:29:56,810
Motion to approve.

1410
02:29:57,410 --> 02:29:57,890
Yes.

1411
02:29:58,290 --> 02:29:59,510
We're gonna share those, aren't?

1412
02:29:59,510 --> 02:29:59,790
Yes.

to establish a float plane management planning committee.

1431
02:31:56,750 --> 02:31:59,010
This is the first reading of the ordinance.

1432
02:32:03,020 --> 02:32:09,100
Section 18 of the CD code of ordinances provides the text amendments to the CD code.

1433
02:32:09,840 --> 02:32:12,380
She'll be accomplished by an ordinance of the CD commission.

02:32:18,740 --> 02:32:24,780
The committee reading system is a voluntary program of the National Floating

02:32:24,780 --> 02:32:32,880
program, which is managed by the federal emergency management administration, FEMA. Under the

1436
02:32:32,880 --> 02:32:38,180
CRS program, the city must demonstrate ongoing public involvement into the environmental

1437
02:32:38,180 --> 02:32:46,840
coordination and implementation monitoring. The community rating system, discounts on standard

1438
02:32:46,840 --> 02:32:52,260
floating insurance policies, premiums, to communities that enforce floodplain management

1439
02:32:52,260 --> 02:32:57,760
regulations that exceed the Minimum National Flood Insurance Program requirements.

1440
02:33:02,100 --> 02:33:06,540
A little bit more of the background on the committee rating system.

1441
02:33:06,700 --> 02:33:16,050
FEMA Awards points to increase a committee's class rating in the CRS on a scale of 1 to 10,

1442
02:33:16,690 --> 02:33:18,190
with one being the highest ranking.

1443
02:33:19,390 --> 02:33:26,310
Starting at class 9, policy holders of the NCRS communities receive a 5% discount.

1444
02:33:26,310 --> 02:33:30,310
on their standard floating trance policy premiums

1445
02:33:31,090 --> 02:33:35,310
with increasing discounts of 5% per class

1446
02:33:35,310 --> 02:33:37,530
onto reaching class 1.

1447
02:33:38,290 --> 02:33:42,250
At class 1, policy holders can receive a 45% discount

1448
02:33:42,250 --> 02:33:46,550
on their standard floating trance policy premiums.

1449
02:33:46,890 --> 02:33:50,690
The city has a current class rating of eight

1450
02:33:50,690 --> 02:33:55,450
in the CRS and as such, the standard floating trance policy

1451
02:33:55,450 --> 02:33:58,710
holders receive a discount of 10%,

1452
02:34:03,220 --> 02:34:05,800
to better coordinate the floodplain

1453
02:34:05,800 --> 02:34:09,740
management activities and maximize CRS credits for greater

1454
02:34:09,740 --> 02:34:14,280
a standard floor insurance policy premiums discounts, the city is adopting a

1455
02:34:14,280 --> 02:34:20,880
floodplain management plan and a program for public information, the floodplain

1456
02:34:20,880 --> 02:34:26,420
management plan was prepared in accordance with the 10-step planning process established

1457
02:34:26,420 --> 02:34:33,960
in CRS activity 510 and the program for public information was prepared in accordance with the

1458
02:34:33,960 --> 02:34:36,100
requirements of CRS activity 330.

1459
02:34:41,520 --> 02:34:46,820
As required by CRS activities 510 and 330, a 12th member

1460
02:34:46,820 --> 02:34:51,440
interim floodplain management planning committee was established to oversee the preparation

1461
02:34:51,440 --> 02:34:59,160
of both the floodplain management plan and the program for public information. Once the plan is adopted,

1462
02:34:59,160 --> 02:34:59,960
it will become...

1463
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:24,140
A critical to establish the committee on a permanent basis with the duties to provide necessary oversight, ensure regulatory compliance, coordinate stakeholder efforts, and manage annual reviews which are required for the CRS credit maximization and eventual discount on the floating insurance premiums.

1464
02:35:28,910 --> 02:35:34,650
The proposed ordinance establish a permanent floodplain management planning committee under

1465
02:35:34,650 --> 02:35:44,270
Chapter 2 article 3 Division 11 section 2 dash 105.13 of the city code. This committee will meet

1466
02:35:44,270 --> 02:35:50,690
regularly, quite early, apologies, and provide recommendations to the city commission, FEMA,

1467
02:35:51,090 --> 02:35:56,150
and the Florida Department of Emergency Management, as well as the public, mitigation,

1468
02:35:56,150 --> 02:35:59,110
opportunities and the status of the planning

1469
02:35:59,110 --> 02:35:59,690
implementation.

1470
02:36:07,370 --> 02:36:08,870
The committee would include afford

1471
02:36:08,870 --> 02:36:12,150
noting for non-voting city staff members and

1472
02:36:12,150 --> 02:36:14,190
two non-voting technical members from

1473
02:36:14,430 --> 02:36:16,630
regional agencies such as South

1474
02:36:16,630 --> 02:36:18,470
Broward drainage district and the

1475
02:36:18,470 --> 02:36:21,290
South Florida water management district or

1476
02:36:22,350 --> 02:36:25,710
non-governmental organizations such as

1477
02:36:25,710 --> 02:36:28,670
the Red Cross, which will be appointed by

1478
02:36:28,670 --> 02:36:30,930
the city manager or the city's

1479
02:36:33,610 --> 02:36:38,830
There are five voting members who shall be city residents and appointed by the city commission.

1480
02:36:42,410 --> 02:36:45,950
This concludes the presentation to the manager recommends approval.

1481
02:36:47,290 --> 02:36:48,510
Thank you for the presentation.

1482
02:36:48,770 --> 02:36:49,850
This is the first reading.

1483
02:36:50,510 --> 02:36:52,850
The city clerk received no request to speak on this item.

1484
02:36:53,050 --> 02:36:57,270
Does any member of the public president and commission chambers wish to speak on item number 14?

1485
02:36:58,650 --> 02:36:59,110
Seeing none.

1486
02:36:59,410 --> 02:37:01,690
Back to the day is one speaker.

1487
02:37:03,970 --> 02:37:05,410
Thank you very much.

1488
02:37:05,470 --> 02:37:11,630
Thank you for presenting on this and detailing who the members of the committee would be.

1489
02:37:12,050 --> 02:37:17,790
Am I right to say that we are now going to open up applications for general

1490
02:37:17,790 --> 02:37:22,670
Miramar residents as well so that they may submit to be a part of this committee.

1491
02:37:22,730 --> 02:37:28,530
I know you said there was a committee formed but now this is open to anyone who wants to be a part of the committee.

1492
02:37:30,710 --> 02:37:31,350
Correct.

1493
02:37:31,850 --> 02:37:40,530
Once the ordinance is adopted on second reading, essentially becomes effective and at such

1494
02:37:40,530 --> 02:37:43,730
point we would coordinate with a city clerk.

1495
02:37:46,050 --> 02:37:49,730
And the staff remains the same because I saw there were certain staff members from various

1496
02:37:49,730 --> 02:37:50,130
departments.

1497
02:37:50,530 --> 02:37:52,510
The staff members would remain the same.

1498
02:37:52,810 --> 02:37:56,270
We would just be opening up for our residents the five.

1499
02:37:57,390 --> 02:37:57,650
Correct.

1500
02:37:57,650 --> 02:38:18,110
Yes, for CD staff, it's, for example, staff from the engineering department from public works and emergency management, which are field related to essentially the flow plane regulations.

1501
02:38:18,110 --> 02:38:26,090
I had another question about who and how the committee would be given education about the city's

1502
02:38:26,090 --> 02:38:32,710
current floodplain management, any updates from external sources, information about proposed

1503
02:38:32,710 --> 02:38:37,690
construction that would affect the floodplain so that as they make decisions they're considering

1504
02:38:37,690 --> 02:38:44,850
what's coming and how what's coming affects our floodwater management plan, who's advising

1505
02:38:44,850 --> 02:38:47,330
outside of just what the city knows.

1506
02:38:49,560 --> 02:38:59,660
The city hired a consultant to prepare the flow plane management plan and which is going to be

1507
02:38:59,660 --> 02:39:03,560
presented alongside the second reading of this ordinance.

1508
02:39:04,420 --> 02:39:11,860
There was a lot of research that went into it for this plan and so again one of the recommendations

1509
02:39:11,860 --> 02:39:21,400
of this plan was to implement the program for public information as per the community rating system.

1510
02:39:22,340 --> 02:39:28,760
And so a lot of the information came from there, but the technical members that will

1511
02:39:28,760 --> 02:39:37,030
partake in this committee as well would be excellent, you know, just providing a lot of

1512
02:39:37,030 --> 02:39:41,950
information. Thank you. Mr. Chambers.

1513
02:39:45,770 --> 02:39:45,770
Okay,

1514
02:39:48,650 --> 02:39:49,390
I'm just a

1515
02:39:49,390 --> 02:39:54,150
kineta. Okay. Commissioner, before you go, Commissioner James,

1516
02:39:54,310 --> 02:39:58,170
Commissioner Cole, when if you could just say mirror, I just say mirror, I have to say

1517
02:40:00,590 --> 02:40:08,450
I just have one question. Would this plan help homeowners with a reduction in their flooding drones?

1518
02:40:09,770 --> 02:40:10,730
Yes, it will.

1519
02:40:11,210 --> 02:40:13,030
Okay. Thank you.

1520
02:40:14,680 --> 02:40:15,780
Commissioner Colbert and you recognize.

1521
02:40:16,660 --> 02:40:17,720
Thank you.

1522
02:40:21,260 --> 02:40:26,980
So, at what point does that discount get increased?

1523
02:40:32,560 --> 02:40:33,300
Good morning.

1524
02:40:35,610 --> 02:40:36,530
Good morning.

1525
02:40:39,420 --> 02:40:41,520
We need to, as we can.

1526
02:40:42,580 --> 02:40:45,380
Good evening, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Vice Mayor,

1527
02:40:46,160 --> 02:40:48,020
Commissioners, City Manager, City Attorney,

1528
02:40:48,220 --> 02:40:49,560
Debited City Clerk.

1529
02:40:51,100 --> 02:40:53,400
My staff, members of the public,

1530
02:40:54,020 --> 02:40:55,880
next on the one building planning and zoning director.

1531
02:40:56,920 --> 02:41:00,780
He once, of course, he, as Mr. Rodriguez mentioned,

1532
02:41:01,000 --> 02:41:03,380
this plan was developed according both plans,

1533
02:41:04,320 --> 02:41:07,440
both the public, the program for public information

1534
02:41:07,440 --> 02:41:13,160
and the fraud management pin, they were both developed according to criteria established

1535
02:41:13,160 --> 02:41:17,240
in the code in the manual, the CRS code in the manual.

1536
02:41:18,640 --> 02:41:23,980
So as you, if you follow those process, FEMA would give you additional credits, because you

1537
02:41:23,980 --> 02:41:26,640
know the CRS is this, it's a credit point system.

1538
02:41:27,300 --> 02:41:33,100
So once we adopt the plan and then we make sure that we follow those 10 step planning process

1539
02:41:33,100 --> 02:41:39,260
for activity 510 as well as you know the establishing or committee to oversee the preparation

1540
02:41:39,260 --> 02:41:45,900
of the plans of both activities and then we are going to submit that to FEMA to we evaluate

1541
02:41:45,900 --> 02:41:51,320
our standing in the CRS. So that at such point they would make that determination. Because also

1542
02:41:51,320 --> 02:41:57,320
what the plan is doing is also taking into account all those activities that we are already

1543
02:41:57,320 --> 02:42:00,560
on the taken, but that I've not been, we have not been

1544
02:42:00,560 --> 02:42:03,800
missing the maximum amount of credits for.

1545
02:42:03,980 --> 02:42:04,800
What's the timeframe?

1546
02:42:05,260 --> 02:42:05,780
What's the timeframe?

1547
02:42:06,060 --> 02:42:09,020
I mean, so we will, as soon as we

1548
02:42:09,020 --> 02:42:14,480
approved the plan is adopted at the June 13 meeting.

1549
02:42:15,100 --> 02:42:17,000
So once it's adopted, and we will stand

1550
02:42:17,000 --> 02:42:19,060
that to FEMA to ask for an evaluation

1551
02:42:19,060 --> 02:42:21,140
of our standing in the CRS.

1552
02:42:22,520 --> 02:42:26,440
So I mean, we can say, with FEMA, everything's going on.

1553
02:42:26,440 --> 02:42:31,760
next year, I mean, at least at the beginning of next year, in the next six months, we will see

1554
02:42:31,760 --> 02:42:35,580
you know, or determination. We hope to get a determination from FEMA.

1555
02:42:36,120 --> 02:42:42,720
All right, appreciate that. In terms of of of the committee itself, we had a committee.

1556
02:42:45,560 --> 02:42:52,650
But this creates the creation of this committee. I see specific members that we will have to

1557
02:42:54,210 --> 02:43:13,390
So when it comes before us and each commissioner, I think it says here that we have an opportunity to appoint someone, that would be those individual need to fill

1558
02:43:13,390 --> 02:43:20,390
these membership requirement, or is that in addition to the membership requirement such as

1559
02:43:22,530 --> 02:43:27,930
business insurance industry and so forth? Which one is it?

1560
02:43:28,410 --> 02:43:34,030
Those are all the criteria establishing the CRS manual that would give you this additional

1561
02:43:34,030 --> 02:43:38,990
credit. So we just following the same process just like we are to do this for the

1562
02:43:38,990 --> 02:43:46,410
I'm sure you know, committed that we establish for the preparation of this fence, so we follow the same process because if you don't, you will not get the maximum credits.

1563
02:43:46,890 --> 02:43:48,250
That's, that's, that's fine.

1564
02:43:49,010 --> 02:43:56,410
For my edification when when I have to submit a nominee for this committee,

1565
02:43:59,610 --> 02:44:02,250
it needs to fall under one of these categories.

1566
02:44:02,290 --> 02:44:02,750
Absolutely.

1567
02:44:03,510 --> 02:44:04,050
Okay.

1568
02:44:04,590 --> 02:44:05,090
Thank you.

1569
02:44:05,150 --> 02:44:05,810
Appreciate it.

1570
02:44:05,810 --> 02:44:06,290
You're welcome.

1571
02:44:07,760 --> 02:44:09,340
Vice Mayor Evers.

1572
02:44:12,090 --> 02:44:12,310
Thank you.

1573
02:44:12,430 --> 02:44:18,810
I think I want to follow up on Commissioner Colbert because I was having pretty much a similar

1574
02:44:18,810 --> 02:44:19,630
question.

1575
02:44:20,590 --> 02:44:28,030
The residents that the commission will appoint, do they need any special qualifications

1576
02:44:28,030 --> 02:44:33,450
because this area is a bit technical and complex as far as I'm concerned?

1577
02:44:33,450 --> 02:44:34,510
For

1578
02:44:41,900 --> 02:44:48,200
the five member, the membership is two at large residents, one member representing a local business,

1579
02:44:48,760 --> 02:44:52,800
one member representing the insurance industry with experiencing flood insurance,

1580
02:44:53,120 --> 02:44:56,700
and one member representing real estate property management or development interest.

1581
02:45:01,040 --> 02:45:10,880
So, we have out of the five, we have three specific areas that they need to be working in.

1582
02:45:10,880 --> 02:45:14,060
That is correct. Okay. Thank you.

1583
02:45:16,940 --> 02:45:21,680
Seeing all the questions, our hands raised, Commissioner Colburn, you know questions.

1584
02:45:23,860 --> 02:45:25,640
May I have a motion on item number 14?

1585
02:45:27,000 --> 02:45:28,520
Motion to approve.

1586
02:45:29,120 --> 02:45:29,460
Second.

1587
02:45:30,500 --> 02:45:31,780
Court of votes.

1588
02:45:33,120 --> 02:45:34,060
Mr. Chamber.

1589
02:45:35,340 --> 02:45:36,460
Mr. Sharizard.

1590
02:45:37,340 --> 02:45:38,360
Mr. Colburn.

1591
02:45:39,000 --> 02:45:39,060
Yes.

1592
02:45:39,440 --> 02:45:40,520
Vice Mayor Edwards.

1593
02:45:41,120 --> 02:45:41,140
Yes.

1594
02:45:41,140 --> 02:45:41,880
Mayor Massome.

1595
02:45:42,160 --> 02:45:42,340
Yes.

1596
02:45:42,460 --> 02:45:43,600
Item number 15, please.

1597
02:45:47,240 --> 02:45:49,220
And ordinance of the city of Miramar,

1598
02:45:49,340 --> 02:45:53,820
amending chapter 15 article four of the city code of the city of Miramar,

1599
02:45:53,940 --> 02:45:58,560
governing the Miramar police officers retirement plan and trust fund.

1600
02:45:58,560 --> 02:46:04,000
Amending Section 15-222, duration, survivor benefit,

1601
02:46:04,520 --> 02:46:06,600
optional forms of benefit payments,

1602
02:46:07,100 --> 02:46:09,840
naming multiple beneficiaries, clarifying language,

1603
02:46:10,420 --> 02:46:13,080
regarding alterations to forms of retirement benefits,

1604
02:46:13,560 --> 02:46:15,960
and creating partial love some benefit options.

1605
02:46:16,560 --> 02:46:21,280
Amending Section 15-223, deferred retirement option plan,

1606
02:46:21,860 --> 02:46:23,540
updating provisions to remove language

1607
02:46:23,540 --> 02:46:26,500
that is no longer applicable and updating provisions

1608
02:46:26,500 --> 02:46:31,180
and accordance with other language and the plan, providing for survivability, providing

1609
02:46:31,180 --> 02:46:35,900
for codification, providing for repeal, providing for correction of scrimmness errors,

1610
02:46:36,400 --> 02:46:38,780
providing for an effective date.

1611
02:46:39,340 --> 02:46:39,560
Good evening.

1612
02:46:40,460 --> 02:46:41,000
Good evening.

1613
02:46:42,280 --> 02:46:48,400
Mayor, vice mayor, commissioners, city manager, city attorney, deputy city clerk, and

1614
02:46:48,400 --> 02:46:48,840
attendees.

1615
02:46:49,880 --> 02:46:52,500
I'm Heather Daley, assistant HR director.

1616
02:46:53,700 --> 02:46:59,260
Today's presentation is for first reading of temporary ordinance number 1866.

1617
02:46:59,860 --> 02:47:05,200
This ordinance proposes amendments to the police officers' retirement plan and trust fund.

1618
02:47:08,250 --> 02:47:08,550
Issue.

1619
02:47:09,070 --> 02:47:14,110
Commissioner Prouvel is required to amend chapter 15 article four of the City Code governing

1620
02:47:14,110 --> 02:47:16,310
the police officers' retirement plan.

1621
02:47:17,150 --> 02:47:24,250
The ordinance establishes a new partial lump sum option payment referred to as plop for eligible

1622
02:47:24,250 --> 02:47:30,410
members. It also includes a Ministry of Updates to the existing deferred retirement option

1623
02:47:30,410 --> 02:47:37,430
plan known as drop. These drop updates are clarifying in nature and intended to align

1624
02:47:37,430 --> 02:47:41,590
ordinance language with administrative options within the plan.

1625
02:47:43,640 --> 02:47:46,360
Some background. Chapter 15 article

1626
02:47:46,360 --> 02:47:52,330
four governs the plan. The pension board of trustees periodically reviews plan provisions to

1627
02:47:52,330 --> 02:47:57,450
to our compliance, modernization, and alignment with retirement planning needs.

1628
02:47:58,530 --> 02:48:04,990
For suitant section 15-194 of City Code, the board recommended adoption of this amendment

1629
02:48:04,990 --> 02:48:11,010
following plan review and consultation with their legal and actuarial advisors.

1630
02:48:12,290 --> 02:48:17,570
The recommendation is intended to provide additional flexibility for retirement income planning

1631
02:48:17,570 --> 02:48:20,790
while maintaining actuarial neutrality.

1632
02:48:22,970 --> 02:48:31,830
Plop over view. Plop creates an additional retirement payment option for members who retired directly from active service.

1633
02:48:32,630 --> 02:48:42,870
It allows a member to elect a one time lump sum payment equal to a portion of the actuarial value of their total retirement benefit.

1634
02:48:44,310 --> 02:48:54,930
Available up front lump sum options range from 5% to 20% with the remaining benefit paid as a reduced monthly pension.

1635
02:48:56,410 --> 02:49:00,430
This election occurs at retirement and cannot be changed once selected.

1636
02:49:01,650 --> 02:49:06,590
Most importantly though, this does not increase the total value of their benefit.

1637
02:49:08,270 --> 02:49:11,010
Nor does it create an additional cost to the city.

1638
02:49:12,320 --> 02:49:20,100
administration of Plop. The pension board will administer the Plop program through its existing rule-making authority.

1639
02:49:21,180 --> 02:49:27,320
Implementation will follow internal revenue code, which is IRC requirements in applicable city code provisions.

1640
02:49:28,600 --> 02:49:33,480
Administrative forms and member communications will be updated by the plan administrator.

1641
02:49:34,340 --> 02:49:36,920
And similar to other plan options,

1642
02:49:37,460 --> 02:49:39,840
Plop is not considered a vested benefit,

1643
02:49:40,200 --> 02:49:42,620
and may be amended or discontinued at any time.

1644
02:49:45,570 --> 02:49:48,090
Moving on to the drop updates.

1645
02:49:49,270 --> 02:49:50,670
In addition to the Plop,

1646
02:49:51,070 --> 02:49:52,990
the ordinance includes administrative updates

1647
02:49:52,990 --> 02:49:55,070
to the existing drop language.

1648
02:49:55,590 --> 02:49:59,970
These updates are not intended to change the core structure of the system.

1649
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:08,800
Of the drop. The revisions removed outdated and duplicative language within the ordinance. Updates also clarify

1650
02:50:08,800 --> 02:50:15,520
account administration, distribution provisions, and loan-related parameters already associated

1651
02:50:15,520 --> 02:50:22,420
with the program. These refinements help ensure consistency between ordinance language and current

1652
02:50:22,420 --> 02:50:23,540
plan provisions.

1653
02:50:27,030 --> 02:50:28,470
City manager recommends approval.

1654
02:50:33,960 --> 02:50:35,240
Thank you for the presentation.

1655
02:50:37,200 --> 02:50:40,780
The clerk received no request to speak on this item or to any members from the public

1656
02:50:40,780 --> 02:50:44,260
inside the commission chambers that wish to speak on this item.

1657
02:50:45,320 --> 02:50:47,580
Seeing none back to the days.

1658
02:50:48,320 --> 02:50:49,720
Commissioner Sharers are to recognize.

1659
02:50:51,400 --> 02:50:53,580
Thank you very much. Thank you for presenting on this.

1660
02:50:53,900 --> 02:50:58,000
I just had a question. I saw closer to the end of your presentation.

1661
02:50:58,000 --> 02:51:01,020
And after you mentioned that somebody chooses

1662
02:51:01,700 --> 02:51:06,000
plop at retirement, and there is no way to amend it after the fact.

1663
02:51:06,480 --> 02:51:11,480
But then it says, plop maybe can discontinue do you mean as an option to choose?

1664
02:51:11,660 --> 02:51:13,700
Not if somebody starts plop.

1665
02:51:14,480 --> 02:51:18,040
Okay, it wasn't clear for me how that would work.

1666
02:51:18,760 --> 02:51:20,920
Okay, so you offer it now.

1667
02:51:21,220 --> 02:51:25,260
It's an available pension benefit if somebody chooses it.

1668
02:51:25,260 --> 02:51:29,820
Once they've chosen it, it's at retirement, so if they've chosen their percentage now,

1669
02:51:30,280 --> 02:51:32,360
they're only left to continue it with love.

1670
02:51:32,480 --> 02:51:36,540
Correct, because once you choose it, your pension amount moving forward is reduced,

1671
02:51:36,900 --> 02:51:42,200
so you have made that election you are done, but we can, the board could have choose to

1672
02:51:42,200 --> 02:51:44,000
discontinue the program itself.

1673
02:51:44,260 --> 02:51:47,180
Got it. Thank you for that clarification. You're welcome.

1674
02:51:49,590 --> 02:51:52,750
Seeing another questions, Commissioner Coburn, do you have a question?

1675
02:51:53,150 --> 02:51:53,850
No, I'm good.

1676
02:51:53,850 --> 02:51:55,530
All right.

1677
02:51:55,870 --> 02:51:57,630
Map of motion on item 15, please.

1678
02:51:58,370 --> 02:51:59,350
Motion to approve.

1679
02:52:00,090 --> 02:52:00,430
Second.

1680
02:52:00,830 --> 02:52:01,390
Quartet votes.

1681
02:52:04,340 --> 02:52:05,440

1682
02:52:05,620 --> 02:52:06,020
Yes.

1683
02:52:06,460 --> 02:52:08,140
Missionary shares are yes.

1684
02:52:08,460 --> 02:52:09,300

1685
02:52:09,900 --> 02:52:10,100
Yes.

1686
02:52:10,520 --> 02:52:11,420

1687
02:52:11,780 --> 02:52:12,040
Yes.

1688
02:52:12,200 --> 02:52:12,680
Your maximum?

1689
02:52:13,540 --> 02:52:13,840
Yes.

1690
02:52:13,960 --> 02:52:15,460
Item number 16, please.

1691
02:52:18,080 --> 02:52:20,760
I was informed that we would read it into the record,

1692
02:52:21,040 --> 02:52:23,180
because it was just a second reading in the public.

1693
02:52:23,560 --> 02:52:24,060
It was noticed.

1694
02:52:24,060 --> 02:52:36,820
So, Adam number 16 temporary ordinance, O-1867 is continued until the next meeting of June

Thank you.

1709
02:53:22,780 --> 02:53:27,500
Ma'am, a motion to continue item number 16 to June 3rd.

1710
02:53:27,500 --> 02:53:27,960
Motion.

1711
02:53:28,740 --> 02:53:29,180
Second.

1712
02:53:29,980 --> 02:53:30,660
The Court of votes.

1713
02:53:33,780 --> 02:53:34,840
The Chair of Chambers.

1714
02:53:35,340 --> 02:53:35,980
Yes.

1715
02:53:35,980 --> 02:53:37,220
The Chair of Charizard.

1716
02:53:37,700 --> 02:53:37,980

The Chair of Coburn.

1718
02:53:39,340 --> 02:53:39,660
Yes.

1719
02:53:40,020 --> 02:53:40,800
I swear, Edward.

1720
02:53:41,000 --> 02:53:41,440
Yes.

1721
02:53:41,560 --> 02:53:42,080
Your maximum.

1722
02:53:42,900 --> 02:53:43,340
Yes.

1723
02:53:44,680 --> 02:53:46,840
On to other business reports.

1724
02:53:46,840 --> 02:53:49,380
So, Vice Mayor Edward Jabberport?

1725
02:53:49,940 --> 02:53:51,560
Yes, sir, quickly.

1726
02:53:53,440 --> 02:54:01,620
First, I want to thank staff that made some adjustments to the strategic planning outreach meeting

1727
02:54:01,620 --> 02:54:03,480
last week.

1728
02:54:04,020 --> 02:54:06,100
I think that was a great improvement.

1729
02:54:07,020 --> 02:54:13,600
The participation of the residents and everyone that attended, I think we moved in a direction

1730
02:54:13,600 --> 02:54:24,540
of contributing to the strategic plan, and also had time for questions and other non-strategic

1731
02:54:24,540 --> 02:54:27,140
plan in contribution from the residents.

1732
02:54:27,740 --> 02:54:30,860
So I like that change and I look forward to the next meeting.

1733
02:54:31,140 --> 02:54:39,960
Let's come in up next week, Thursday, and that's a good change, so thank you.

1734
02:54:39,960 --> 02:54:45,860
We continue to celebrate Haitian American heritage month here in the city tomorrow.

1735
02:54:46,280 --> 02:54:52,360
My office would be having a celebration at the Alexandra P. Davis Multiservice complex.

1736
02:54:52,780 --> 02:54:59,760
We'd be recognizing four Haitian businesses and we're doing this in collaboration with the Haitian American.

1737
02:55:00,000 --> 02:55:10,480
Chamber of Commerce. And as we move into June, we're going to have celebrated in Caribbean American heritage month.

1738
02:55:10,900 --> 02:55:16,120
And again, my office will be presenting a taste of the Caribbean right here in the Plaza.

1739
02:55:17,720 --> 02:55:24,300
We are elevated that event and turning it more into a culinary experience.

1740
02:55:24,300 --> 02:55:31,780
So I look forward to having all our residents come in and celebrate in June as Kirby and American Heritage Month.

1741
02:55:32,140 --> 02:55:35,820
Thank you. That's my report. Thank you Vice Mayor Commissioner Coburn.

1742
02:55:38,270 --> 02:55:50,790
Yes, thank you very much. I'd like to report that and the home chemical collection event that we had last Saturday was pretty successful.

1743
02:55:51,830 --> 02:55:55,670
The truck was filled by the end of the day.

1744
02:55:57,030 --> 02:56:05,290
One of the things that residents, many residents of Acts for, some of them even brought it with them is pills.

1745
02:56:07,030 --> 02:56:19,920
So I have gone ahead and asked staff to have our fire, police department, to go ahead and take a look and see if there's something we can include in future home chemical collections.

1746
02:56:19,920 --> 02:56:22,880
elections, a lightbulb exchange.

1747
02:56:23,160 --> 02:56:25,200
I think that would be a great addition to what we do.

1748
02:56:25,340 --> 02:56:27,500
So I am looking forward to that.

1749
02:56:27,980 --> 02:56:36,520
Today's job fear was, I want to say, incredible to some extent.

1750
02:56:37,960 --> 02:56:44,900
It is a sign of the economy that so many people are in need of employment.

1751
02:56:44,900 --> 02:56:56,080
But it's actually a pretty good feeling to see their spirit and how, you know, the comments that we received was like this is really good.

1752
02:56:56,900 --> 02:56:58,880
It's really great event.

1753
02:57:00,220 --> 02:57:09,920
They really felt encouraged in terms of finding employment and certainly they felt that they were treated with a lot of respect here.

1754
02:57:09,920 --> 02:57:15,760
And a lot of thought went into the preparation of the job fear.

1755
02:57:16,000 --> 02:57:19,700
So I want to say thank you to staff for making that happen.

1756
02:57:20,740 --> 02:57:24,680
I did attend the Strategic Plan meeting as well.

1757
02:57:27,700 --> 02:57:32,420
And certainly we're going to have to continue to do some other things to ensure that we

1758
02:57:32,420 --> 02:57:35,620
get more and more input from our residents.

1759
02:57:35,620 --> 02:57:51,680
But it was good to know that the residents came out and took part in it those who are so I will definitely take this time to encourage other residents to come on out to our strategic plan

1760
02:57:51,680 --> 02:57:56,940
a few strategic plans and provide your input.

1761
02:57:57,520 --> 02:58:05,460
It is important to the city and it is important for us to have input from the community

1762
02:58:05,460 --> 02:58:12,020
as to how they would like to see our city in future years to come.

1763
02:58:12,860 --> 02:58:17,600
So it's not something that we can do about self, it is something that we really really want

1764
02:58:17,600 --> 02:58:24,980
residents to give lend their voice to this and be a part of it so that we can have

1765
02:58:25,900 --> 02:58:28,580
one strategic plan with everyone.

1766
02:58:29,460 --> 02:58:30,580
That's it for me for now.

1767
02:58:30,660 --> 02:58:32,460
Thank you.

1768
02:58:32,680 --> 02:58:33,520
Commissioner Chambers.

1769
02:58:36,000 --> 02:58:36,960
Thank you.

1770
02:58:37,120 --> 02:58:41,960
To be frank, I was quite disappointed with the first meeting on the east side with a strategic

1771
02:58:42,940 --> 02:58:43,420
plan.

1772
02:58:44,360 --> 02:58:52,940
We can't, if we try to get this community to be engaged, we need to be up to hear from them and have feedback and not having another state of the city address.

1773
02:58:53,400 --> 02:58:54,760
That was quite disappointed.

1774
02:58:56,880 --> 02:59:00,620
You've got to find a way to get a resident to come out.

1775
02:59:01,120 --> 02:59:08,800
And no, it's important to have certain staff there, but to overpack the room with all our employees to make it look like we have a good crowd. That's not good.

1776
02:59:08,800 --> 02:59:16,100
We've got to find a way to get our resident engaged in that 20-30 people, you know, we have 150

1777
02:59:16,100 --> 02:59:23,880
something total to people. And inside of the quite contented, and they don't want to come out,

1778
02:59:23,960 --> 02:59:31,860
I did not get in the message. Something is wrong there. Um, come to the court when I like the

1779
02:59:31,860 --> 02:59:38,340
job here today. The setup was really good. Um, I did a peak inside and they seemed nice little

1780
02:59:38,340 --> 02:59:42,360
Hello, what is the happy and what a good look.

1781
02:59:45,920 --> 02:59:51,580
We had our audience, so this is dried this weekend, and we have a hundred percent of

1782
02:59:51,580 --> 02:59:57,260
person who applied, there were sexists for the help, on the application was completed

1783
02:59:57,260 --> 02:59:59,520
done, ready to be mailed.

1784
03:00:00,910 --> 03:00:04,170
And I would like to say a good thing to accomplish that.

1785
03:00:07,260 --> 03:00:11,700
I just want to share that this next weekend

1786
03:00:11,700 --> 03:00:22,720
will be journey to Kingston. This show with Wayne Wanda, agents ask us, bug events and friends.

1787
03:00:24,120 --> 03:00:31,080
There's a lot of high-pored friends that we come in, folks who are never normally easily come out.

1788
03:00:31,600 --> 03:00:38,100
And of course, they're coming for free to support the friend Spragabans and for those of you

1789
03:00:38,100 --> 03:00:43,920
interested, I would encourage you not to wait, get your ticket, there's no free ticket.

1790
03:00:44,980 --> 03:00:52,260
It's a limited seat in, it's only 800 seat in the theater, this is the once in a lifetime show.

1791
03:00:52,560 --> 03:00:54,280
You'll never see this one again.

1792
03:00:57,400 --> 03:01:05,300
I will advertise the person that are coming and you'll see, of course, they pledge to

1793
03:01:05,300 --> 03:01:11,100
shop and that they do, it's going to be big, guarantee we're going to have a total of

1794
03:01:11,100 --> 03:01:14,120
people on the outside trying to get in and they will not be able to because the tickets

1795
03:01:14,120 --> 03:01:14,940
will be gone.

1796
03:01:17,720 --> 03:01:25,680
Also, this weekend, they will have pure, it's all white party at the original park for the

1797
03:01:25,680 --> 03:01:28,580
If you want to attend that, I know it's very competitive.

1798
03:01:29,740 --> 03:01:35,460
We can a lot of shows going on, but this white parkity is a charity, it's celebrating

1799
03:01:35,460 --> 03:01:39,180
15 years at reasonable park check it out.

1800
03:01:40,440 --> 03:01:45,220
Monday, Labor Day, once again, I'm wearing my United Methodist Church.

1801
03:01:45,880 --> 03:01:51,240
We're going to have an annual picnic, it's free to the public, and as you know everything

1802
03:01:51,240 --> 03:02:01,800
is free, cook on a water, regular water, juice, burgers, food, chicken, you name it, plus the

1803
03:02:01,800 --> 03:02:09,240
friendship and the fellowship, solve free, come on out and celebrate with them.

1804
03:02:11,520 --> 03:02:18,380
I just want to touch on something, I visited a department this week and I noticed a young

1805
03:02:19,820 --> 03:02:28,340
And she was kind of in pain a bit with her shoes and I asked what happens, so well, I

1806
03:02:28,340 --> 03:02:33,400
had to wear the shoes because the city policy changed where, you know, I'd able to wear

1807
03:02:33,400 --> 03:02:34,320
certain shoes.

1808
03:02:35,940 --> 03:02:39,760
And it's kind of bothered me a bit, because we are here, both of us are here long

1809
03:02:39,760 --> 03:02:46,360
or especially regular employees who they dedicated to do their work and some folks don't

1810
03:02:46,360 --> 03:02:50,460
the luxury of getting up and walking around or taking a break.

1811
03:02:51,100 --> 03:02:57,840
Some of the work here are very demanding and folks need to be able to somewhat relax.

1812
03:02:59,000 --> 03:03:01,080
So we've got to look into the code.

1813
03:03:01,660 --> 03:03:04,920
They can look at, I don't know if it's a code or whatever.

1814
03:03:05,640 --> 03:03:12,360
But they can look at various different clothes, different shoes that one could wear,

1815
03:03:13,000 --> 03:03:20,560
and allow them to be comfortable for the hours that they are here and not being paid with

1816
03:03:20,560 --> 03:03:22,800
a simple thing as their shoes.

1817
03:03:26,020 --> 03:03:32,680
One of the things that I noticed is that directors and supervisors should have the ability

1818
03:03:33,340 --> 03:03:33,900
to,

1819
03:03:39,380 --> 03:03:46,540
how should I put this, to maybe address a certain situation, if someone come to work,

1820
03:03:47,080 --> 03:03:51,500
We're in a certain garments or shoes and it's not appropriate.

1821
03:03:52,680 --> 03:03:58,360
They should be able to have the ability to let the person know that it's not appropriate.

1822
03:04:00,320 --> 03:04:05,520
And maybe we shouldn't be just punishing everybody because of one person or one department.

1823
03:04:06,220 --> 03:04:07,140
We need some flexibility.

1824
03:04:09,660 --> 03:04:11,460
And we could talk more about this.

1825
03:04:11,460 --> 03:04:22,900
I think, you know, I call me a sometimes relaxed, very relaxed, and I know I've been

1826
03:04:22,900 --> 03:04:26,220
able to do that sometimes when she's ready. We don't really care. We've been ready to

1827
03:04:26,220 --> 03:04:32,740
redress up and we're not, you know, we do what we're doing, but we gotta be a standard, but

1828
03:04:32,740 --> 03:04:40,660
it needs to be reasonable for our employees, especially the ladies who need to be more

1829
03:04:40,660 --> 03:04:50,530
but I hear you and we value all of the other employees and want to make sure we have a good

1830
03:04:50,530 --> 03:04:58,590
work and environment and a good work in place. And I would encourage some of our employees

1831
03:04:58,590 --> 03:04:59,730
who might have been.

1832
03:05:00,180 --> 03:05:07,560
Certainly issues. I trust that our city manager has reached up a lot of you know, for many, many years.

1833
03:05:08,100 --> 03:05:14,220
And you know, there's something you can address with him privately or in the public.

1834
03:05:15,100 --> 03:05:20,440
And I'm sure we will look into it and see what he could do. And if he can't do anything fine.

1835
03:05:22,440 --> 03:05:27,900
But feel free. But still, you can always reach out to me. I'm not saying no.

1836
03:05:27,900 --> 03:05:35,010
If there's something I can do, something I couldn't discuss with the city manager or the deputy, I will do that.

1837
03:05:39,440 --> 03:05:40,320
So once again,

1838
03:05:42,640 --> 03:05:49,630
thank you for working for resident and our business here in the city of Mayward.

1839
03:05:50,940 --> 03:05:53,880
I have a very pleasant rest of the week.

1840
03:05:54,200 --> 03:05:54,620
Thank you.

1841
03:05:56,060 --> 03:05:56,840
Mr. Shearzard.

1842
03:05:59,270 --> 03:05:59,890
Thank you.

1843
03:06:00,870 --> 03:06:10,190
I just want to start off by reiterating that it is always such a pleasure to see some of our employees.

1844
03:06:10,630 --> 03:06:13,770
Just how zealous they are when they do come to work.

1845
03:06:13,990 --> 03:06:23,090
Just how much effort they put into making sure that the general public when they come to City Hall feels welcome and taking care of.

1846
03:06:23,630 --> 03:06:27,910
It takes a lot to do a strenuous job and still do it with a smile on your face.

1847
03:06:27,910 --> 03:06:34,630
And I've seen it so very often that there are employees who do have very serious jobs to

1848
03:06:34,630 --> 03:06:39,270
do, but you cannot tell on their face that it's a hard job to do.

1849
03:06:39,410 --> 03:06:48,170
So I applaud those of you who can do the work and not make it seem as burdensome as

1850
03:06:48,170 --> 03:06:48,550
it is.

1851
03:06:48,550 --> 03:06:55,030
Hats off to all hardworking staff and professionals here in the city of Miramar.

1852
03:06:55,030 --> 03:07:03,270
your hard work does not go unnoticed and your pleasant smile adds a little bit to it so important.

1853
03:07:05,230 --> 03:07:15,210
I want to say that I had a very promising meeting when we met earlier this week to talk about the plans for AI in our city.

1854
03:07:15,970 --> 03:07:24,870
I truly believe that as a city who we would like to be at the forefront of technology that

1855
03:07:24,870 --> 03:07:31,870
improves our responsiveness to our residents, that we would hailed any opportunity to make

1856
03:07:31,870 --> 03:07:36,850
things easier for our residents to do business with the city of Miramar.

1857
03:07:37,210 --> 03:07:44,210
And I look forward to the day when our process is, the feedback isn't always feeling as though

1858
03:07:44,210 --> 03:07:51,870
somewhat of a burden to prove to the city when residents ask for help as for relief acts for

1859
03:07:51,870 --> 03:07:59,830
responses. And so hopefully with AI being as prominent as it will be in our city processes

1860
03:07:59,830 --> 03:08:05,010
then it alleviates some of the strains of residents feel. So very promising conversation.

1861
03:08:06,510 --> 03:08:14,030
As we spoke on the days, most of my colleagues mentioned the meetings for the strategic plan.

1862
03:08:14,210 --> 03:08:21,390
And I think, as often as I can before this fully rose out to the general public, I will

1863
03:08:21,390 --> 03:08:30,130
admonish the North Star Navigators, to please take a look at that section in the survey

1864
03:08:30,830 --> 03:08:35,210
where it seems that it makes the open-ended questions optional.

1865
03:08:35,850 --> 03:08:40,950
I'm going to state it once again that the open-ended questions are the meat of what our residents

1866
03:08:40,950 --> 03:08:47,870
want to share with the city. And I would love those questions to be a mandatory ask because

1867
03:08:47,870 --> 03:08:54,270
every other question before those ones are guided questions. If you want to hear what Merrimon

1868
03:08:54,270 --> 03:08:59,730
wants to say, you give them a space to write their actual thoughts on the paper. And the only

1869
03:08:59,730 --> 03:09:05,010
way in the survey to do that is to say, yes, I don't feel tired answering all the questions that

1870
03:09:05,010 --> 03:09:11,810
asked me already. And so I look forward to seeing a updated survey hopefully that goes

1871
03:09:11,810 --> 03:09:17,930
out to our residents. That does not have that pause, but it gives residents free opportunity

1872
03:09:17,930 --> 03:09:25,770
to speak on their vision for the future of the city of Miramar. I also just want to say

1873
03:09:25,770 --> 03:09:32,730
a huge thank you to whoever came up with the suggestion or idea to have that. I'm that exercise

1874
03:09:32,730 --> 03:09:38,050
where there was a lot of police presence along our main thoroughfares, it felt good, it's

1875
03:09:38,050 --> 03:09:42,610
just seeing the lights moving up and down, just seeing the cars parked, it gave a really

1876
03:09:42,610 --> 03:09:48,410
good sense of safety in our community that the police is there to police is watching, our

1877
03:09:48,410 --> 03:09:53,230
students walking home from school, our folks walking from the bus stop, it was a good

1878
03:09:53,230 --> 03:09:58,130
look, the speeding, the amount of people who are moving around in our streets without

1879
03:09:58,130 --> 03:09:59,210
regard for.

1880
03:10:00,820 --> 03:10:28,980
Speed limits. Seeing those offices present made a huge difference, and I love that exercise if you can continue that, as often as manpower allows. It was a good thing to see. All in all, no conversations about events for me. I just want to say hats off to all of those who are graduating in the next few weeks from our elementary, middle, and high schools onto the next level. I'll talk more about events next time, but thank you everyone for all you do. Good night.

1881
03:10:34,030 --> 03:10:38,070
Thank you commissioner couple of updates I'm

1882
03:10:45,240 --> 03:10:47,720
before going to some of the community updates

1883
03:10:47,720 --> 03:10:54,900
I would like to extend congratulations to Miramar resident family the Martinek family

1884
03:10:54,900 --> 03:11:03,200
their son Alexander Martinek who grew up in this city is now Dr. Alexander Martinek

1885
03:11:03,200 --> 03:11:09,960
had the opportunity to go to his commencement ceremony at the Morehouse School of Medicine

1886
03:11:09,960 --> 03:11:18,240
in Atlanta. I'm sure all the our physicians in our city and across the world know it's a very

1887
03:11:18,240 --> 03:11:23,040
grueling process to go through medical school and he'll be transitioning with his residency

1888
03:11:23,040 --> 03:11:28,940
and psychiatry, so I'm very proud of Alexander and his accomplishments.

1889
03:11:31,580 --> 03:11:33,500
Coming up on March 28th

1890
03:11:33,500 --> 03:11:40,180
right here in the city hall chambers will have the third of our community outreach meetings

1891
03:11:40,180 --> 03:11:45,440
for the strategic plan. We'd like to thank all of our residents who attended in historic

1892
03:11:45,440 --> 03:11:52,580
Miramar at the Alexandria P. Davis, a multi-service center and last Thursday at the sunset lakes

1893
03:11:52,580 --> 03:12:02,160
community center. Really enjoyed to see residents coming out and voicing their concerns,

1894
03:12:02,160 --> 03:12:08,340
participating in the process and making sure that their voices are heard.

1895
03:12:08,860 --> 03:12:17,360
A couple of updates, I did reach out to the manager to make sure that the recordings

1896
03:12:17,360 --> 03:12:25,620
of the community outreach meetings are available on our website last week's meeting was

1897
03:12:25,620 --> 03:12:33,800
to the website. I look forward to our first meeting as well being updated. And we'll also update

1898
03:12:33,800 --> 03:12:45,800
and upload the recording. God willing. Next Thursday's meeting. And the format of the community

1899
03:12:45,800 --> 03:12:54,440
I'm meeting the input, it's always, we take feedback and it's being implemented to maximize

1900
03:12:54,440 --> 03:13:02,860
on the participation and the first meeting was very well-attended, residents spoke, voiced

1901
03:13:02,860 --> 03:13:09,780
their concerns, the meeting last week, residents participated and what I do like with the

1902
03:13:09,780 --> 03:13:13,340
website on the strategic plan, portion of our website.

1903
03:13:14,420 --> 03:13:21,780
It also includes the projects that are current projects and upcoming projects in the

1904
03:13:21,780 --> 03:13:22,900
various regions.

1905
03:13:23,180 --> 03:13:25,560
So the metres have been broken out into three regions.

1906
03:13:25,620 --> 03:13:33,780
Historic Miramar, our historic communities, the Western communities, was last week.

1907
03:13:33,780 --> 03:13:40,720
and the town center and central part of our city will be presented next week and they're

1908
03:13:40,720 --> 03:13:47,460
broken down to identify and list and communicate to the community projects that have been

1909
03:13:47,460 --> 03:13:55,480
recently completed as well as those that are hitting the streets right now and those that

1910
03:13:55,480 --> 03:14:02,320
will be coming up in the near future. The purpose of sharing this is to inform the residents

1911
03:14:02,320 --> 03:14:12,660
on what projects are taking place, because oftentimes we anticipate getting comments from individuals

1912
03:14:12,660 --> 03:14:19,500
that want certain improvements right now in their community and with them having the knowledge

1913
03:14:19,500 --> 03:14:27,880
of our CIP plan, what is coming, what is taking place, then they understand that we have

1914
03:14:27,880 --> 03:14:53,800
into some of the concerns that have already taken place, and that they are now planned for in many cases budget it for, so that doesn't have to be a part of their commentary as it relates to what they want to see in the next three to five years, because the work is in place, and we can focus on things that have not been addressed and what they would like to implement.

1915
03:14:53,800 --> 03:14:59,960
So that is why we take the time to inform and share with the residents.

1916
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:24,120
What projects are coming online, and some projects that have been completed that they are not aware of, so that that does not get bundled or included into their feedback and including that on the website and the manner that it is in provides the opportunity for our residents to understand what's going on.

1917
03:15:24,120 --> 03:15:52,400
What I would add though on the strategic plan, if we could move the survey link up perhaps to the top of our more in a more prominent way, so that residents can see that that is an option and I also agree with Commissioner Sherizard as relates to, with the instructions to, at least give the residents a heads up that.

1918
03:15:52,400 --> 03:16:02,180
that they have the opportunity to write out their custom comments about what they would want

1919
03:16:02,180 --> 03:16:07,900
to see and that we are actually encouraging it so that it is more prominent in that survey

1920
03:16:07,900 --> 03:16:17,040
format so that they know that that option is there, opposed to just the multiple choice options.

1921
03:16:17,040 --> 03:16:30,000
So, if we could get with our consultant to see what that can look like so that it perhaps can be incorporated prior to next week's meeting.

1922
03:16:31,200 --> 03:16:43,520
And if we may already be on the website, if we can give a date of when we want all surveys online to be completed, so folks can have a sense of urgency to get it completed.

1923
03:16:43,520 --> 03:16:53,780
It may be on there, I don't recall if it was on there, but if it's not on there, if we have a date when we want to have these submissions in, that would be great.

1924
03:16:55,700 --> 03:17:06,680
As well, I would like to advance which all of our graduates, the extent congratulations to you and your families from graduating from high school.

1925
03:17:06,680 --> 03:17:12,380
And for those who are graduating from tertiary institutions, we are proud of you, continue

1926
03:17:12,380 --> 03:17:20,540
to strive and wish you all the best in your endeavors as you continue into your careers

1927
03:17:20,540 --> 03:17:22,100
or additional education.

1928
03:17:23,580 --> 03:17:29,620
Personally, I would like to invite everyone on this Monday at the regional park at the 9-11

1929
03:17:29,620 --> 03:17:36,500
And in Veteran's Memorial for the city's Memorial Day ceremony, we are remembering and honoring

1930
03:17:36,500 --> 03:17:41,320
those who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we could have the freedoms that we do

1931
03:17:41,320 --> 03:17:44,300
have here in this country, although not perfect.

1932
03:17:44,840 --> 03:17:51,100
We do live in an amazing country and we do want to recognize those that sacrificed all so

1933
03:17:51,100 --> 03:17:58,840
that we can be able to live the lives that we have and it takes place 1130 to 1230 at the

1934
03:17:58,840 --> 03:18:06,180
our regional park on May 25th for those who have a holiday and don't have any plans, please

1935
03:18:06,180 --> 03:18:14,880
do so and we look forward to recognizing the individuals who have been submitted by families

1936
03:18:14,880 --> 03:18:19,720
to honor them at the memorial on Monday.

1937
03:18:22,180 --> 03:18:30,390
And on this Friday, we'll like to ask the community

1938
03:18:30,390 --> 03:18:37,550
to come out with the continued observation for our Haitian American community will have a screening

1939
03:18:37,550 --> 03:18:41,330
of the entitled Dual Citizen.

1940
03:18:42,210 --> 03:18:50,250
We will have the filmmaker, Rachelle, I'm Solvna Vay, who would be available after the screening

1941
03:18:50,250 --> 03:18:52,010
for a fireside chat.

1942
03:18:52,690 --> 03:19:00,230
It's the trailer is available, go to our city's social media platforms and the trailer

1943
03:19:00,230 --> 03:19:09,370

1944
03:19:09,370 --> 03:19:17,170
journey of a Haitian family and we look forward to a great turnout on this Friday, May

1945

1947
03:19:30,630 --> 03:19:32,230
Mr. Manager, have a report.

1948
03:19:33,530 --> 03:19:34,070
Thank you, sir.

1949
03:19:34,530 --> 03:19:41,290
I just want to take this opportunity to thank all the staff who came out to pay their final respect

1950
03:19:41,290 --> 03:19:44,030
to one of our former employees in Henrique's.

1951
03:19:45,010 --> 03:19:47,510
I'll just see him to his final rest and please.

1952
03:19:47,890 --> 03:19:55,010
They were about 15 employees, they're about and they were well respected and they showed their support.

1953
03:19:55,450 --> 03:19:58,950
and the family was in great support for the city of Mermer and what they did.

1954
03:19:58,990 --> 03:19:59,970
So, we're going to want to thank them for it.

1955
03:20:00,110 --> 03:20:04,190
We're showing up. Thank you. Mr. Turnington, announcements?

1956
03:20:04,690 --> 03:20:08,050
No, Mr. Mayor, thank you. Thank you. May I have a motion to adjourn?

1957
03:20:08,270 --> 03:20:11,010
Motion to adjourn? That can. Good night, everyone.
