00:03:21,340 --> 00:03:22,120
Thank you, Mayor.

38
00:03:23,820 --> 00:03:28,740
So I think I'm going to give this over to City Manager.

39
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:30,600
Okay.

40
00:03:31,820 --> 00:03:34,520
Good evening, Mr. Mayor, members of the commission.

41
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:54,000
And we want to recognize a long standing member of one of our boards in our city, and so she is the appointment out of district C, which is the district that is Commissioner Dr. Martins.

42
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:04,500
This person is a retired school teacher, high school school teacher, which is even more impressive than an elementary school teacher.

43
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:14,200
to school teacher. She is a very pleasant and sweet lady. She has participated in my

44
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,420
prior life when I was the park's director here, her and her sorority participated in

45
00:04:19,420 --> 00:04:28,180
our food drive every holiday season. And she has served on our planning and zoning board

46
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,460
for 25 years?

47
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:38,480
Through you, Mr. Mayor, more than 25 years, we could not find her original records.

48
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,500
Well, 25 would only make her like 45, so we'll say 25.

49
00:04:47,460 --> 00:04:52,360
But Mr. Mayor, I'm going to turn it over to Tanya, Tanya can read and just say a word or two

50
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,840
and then Dr. Martin can read the plaque.

51
00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:55,820
Go ahead.

52
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:56,460
Oh, see.

53
00:04:56,460 --> 00:04:59,920
Mr. Mayor Madam Vice Mayor Commissioner, City Manager, City

54
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:29,880
Attorney, city clerk. The planning and zoning board team just wanted to recognize Dr. Thomas. It is a tireless thing to come to our planning and zoning board meetings on our consistent basis, and it's all volunteer. And she was there prior to me. When I started in 20 2006, I left and she's still here. So, while we still have or volunteers

55
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:37,600
We should show them appreciation and thank you, and that's what we're trying to do tonight and she didn't know so we pulled a fast one.

56
00:05:39,020 --> 00:05:52,360
So it's just so much miss Thomas. Thank you so much and appreciation over 25 years of service to the city of North Latvia and planning board service.

57
00:05:52,380 --> 00:05:55,360
We say thank you to Dr. Bob or Thomas.

58
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:09,960
My sorority is alpha, capa alpha sorority, and I am in casa omega chapter.

59
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:32,600
And been a member for more than 50 years in Africa, Africa, and I started on the mayor in 1993, and, yes, Jack Brady, Mayor Brady appointed me in 1993 to the Planning and Zoning Board, and I've been there ever since.

60
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,800
So it's what about 32 years?

61
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,680
Yes mayor

62
00:08:01,540 --> 00:08:07,500
thank you for allowing us to do that today. Thank you for your more than welcome. It's good to see you

63
00:08:26,990 --> 00:08:31,950
Again, we want to thank you very much for your service in one more time. I'm going to ask

64
00:08:33,250 --> 00:08:35,530
Everyone please put your hand one more time

65
00:08:36,610 --> 00:08:38,290
For sure to service

66
00:08:39,310 --> 00:08:41,970
The reason I would see you in the Florida death. Thank you

67
00:08:43,950 --> 00:08:46,610
So we're going to at this point

68
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:49,450
to item A, the presentation,

69
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,200
City Manager, you go with this one please.

70
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,720
Thank you Mr. Mayor, members of the commission, good evening again.

71
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,200
So the city runs a scholarship program in partnership with waste management.

72
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,340
I guess waste management runs it in partnership with the city.

73
00:09:06,860 --> 00:09:11,980
The funds come from waste management, and we're very fortunate for that.

74
00:09:11,980 --> 00:09:18,620
So this year, once again, our public works department and waste management put out applications

75
00:09:18,620 --> 00:09:26,040
to all the schools throughout our county, all the homeschools looking for students that

76
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,280
reside in North Lauderdale to apply for the scholarship program.

77
00:09:30,660 --> 00:09:37,100
So I'd like to ask our public works director, Sam May, our public work superintendent, Maryam

78
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:44,880
and Barbara from Waste Management to come up and do the presentations for the students who won through from North Florida.

79
00:09:53,930 --> 00:09:59,610
Thank you, Waste Management through Ms. Barbara, thank you for what you do for the students here.

80
00:10:01,010 --> 00:10:09,870
Okay, mayor, vice mayor and the commission. As you mentioned, that is an annual scholarship program

81
00:10:09,870 --> 00:10:19,850
that in partnership with the waste management. This year we had 12 applicants. However, out of the 12 applicants,

82
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:28,930
three were incomplete and one was outside the city. But we had a committee and the committee was

83
00:10:28,930 --> 00:10:38,290
people to select the first best five which we're going to give with management we'll

84
00:10:38,290 --> 00:10:48,430
be giving the check. For now we have one teacher representing Coconut Creek was here none

85
00:10:48,430 --> 00:10:55,570
of the students unfortunately didn't make it partly because a few of them has already

86
00:10:55,570 --> 00:11:02,530
I've already gone to college, so then I hear, but I believe that should be your parent.

87
00:11:03,530 --> 00:11:08,210
Okay, good. We do somebody do.

88
00:11:08,590 --> 00:11:09,030
All right, good.

89
00:11:12,530 --> 00:11:15,150
Well, just read all five names.

90
00:11:15,450 --> 00:11:15,990
I've been watching.

91
00:11:16,630 --> 00:11:16,930
Read your name?

92
00:11:17,230 --> 00:11:17,510

I know about that.

99
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,520
We'll stick in pictures.

100
00:11:42,340 --> 00:11:42,700
Yes.

101
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:44,400
We can picture that.

102
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,500
You could come up here if you want with the commission.

103
00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:50,200

00:17:54,890 --> 00:17:57,870
I'm not so sure she's here, but I think her representative is here.

171
00:17:58,070 --> 00:18:01,270
Feel free to come up here on behalf of her.

172
00:18:01,430 --> 00:18:02,070
Thank you.

173
00:18:05,930 --> 00:18:09,610
Good afternoon, mayor, commissioners and community members.

174
00:18:10,130 --> 00:18:12,910
My name is Edward Mejia, and I serve as a district outreach manager

175
00:18:12,910 --> 00:18:16,910
for your congresswoman Sheila Schorfus from Corman, representing Florida's 20th

176
00:18:16,910 --> 00:18:17,650
congressional district.

177
00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:20,390
Your district and your voice in Washington, D.C.

178
00:18:21,370 --> 00:18:24,810
Thank you to the city of North Waterdale for creating a space where community voices

179
00:18:24,810 --> 00:18:31,090
are heard respected and uplifted. Here in North Lauderdale, immigration isn't just a policy issue,

180
00:18:31,590 --> 00:18:37,510
it's personal. We see it every day in our homes, our schools, our businesses, and our places of

181
00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:43,530
worship. It's the heartbeat of this community. As Congresswoman Sheila Sherpas McCormick is a daughter

182
00:18:43,530 --> 00:18:49,430
of immigrants, she does understand the sacrifice it takes to build a life here. That's why protecting

183
00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:53,870
immigrant families, especially our Haitian community, remains one of our top priorities.

184
00:18:54,810 --> 00:18:57,330
Just a couple of weeks ago, we secured a critical victory.

185
00:18:58,210 --> 00:19:03,330
Temporary protected status for Haitians has been extended through February, 2026.

186
00:19:04,510 --> 00:19:09,370
This means thousands of families in Florida can continue to live, work, and contribute

187
00:19:09,370 --> 00:19:13,630
without fear of deportation regardless of what's planned under documents.

188
00:19:15,150 --> 00:19:17,550
Congressman Sheila Sherfist from Columbia wants to be clear.

189
00:19:18,250 --> 00:19:21,410
You do not have to open your door to ICE without a judicial warrant.

190
00:19:22,130 --> 00:19:23,670
You have the right to remain silent.

191
00:19:23,670 --> 00:19:29,950
You have the right to an attorney, and you have aisle allies right here in this room and in Congress fighting for you.

192
00:19:30,890 --> 00:19:35,750
After federal level, Congress and Sheila Sherpless McCormick has taken a stand to protect our communities.

193
00:19:36,530 --> 00:19:42,250
The Congress supports the no-cages and Everglades Act to block ICE detention centers near our protected lands.

194
00:19:43,410 --> 00:19:49,570
Congresswoman opposed dangerous state legislation like the so-called big ugly bill, which threatens healthcare access,

195
00:19:49,570 --> 00:19:54,090
risk, hospital closures, and harms working families across our district.

196
00:19:55,350 --> 00:19:59,610
The Congresswoman has also introduced legislation to lower housing costs and expand health

197
00:19:59,610 --> 00:19:59,830
care.

198
00:20:00,370 --> 00:20:27,050
But today, we also want to address two critical lifelines for our communities. Snap and Medicaid. These programs are not handouts. There are essential supports that help families put food on the table and access the care that they need. The Congresswoman Sheila Sherpless McCormick is fighting in Congress to defend and expand Snap and Medicaid because every family, regardless of immigration status or income, deserves to live with dignity and opportunities.

199
00:20:27,790 --> 00:20:30,750
to every TPS holder, every immigrant family,

200
00:20:31,410 --> 00:20:33,230
and every resident of North Loverville.

201
00:20:33,670 --> 00:20:35,890
You matter, you belong, and this is your home.

202
00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:39,590
And we know that when we fight, we do win.

203
00:20:40,630 --> 00:20:44,070
Together, we're building a future where immigrant families are not only protected,

204
00:20:44,350 --> 00:20:48,790
but celebrated, and given every opportunity, not just to survive, but to thrive.

205
00:20:49,590 --> 00:20:51,050
Thank you for having me here today.

206
00:20:51,770 --> 00:20:55,330
We look forward to strengthening our partnership as we work together toward a brighter,

207
00:20:55,330 --> 00:21:04,010
more inclusive future for all. Thank you very much. Thank you. And please present our thanks to

208
00:21:05,070 --> 00:21:13,270
congresswoman Shilla for her work. Hard work on behalf of the citizen of Notre Dame. Thank you

209
00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:22,030
very much again. You want to take a picture with us? Yes. Thank you. She'll be invisible right there.

210
00:21:28,990 --> 00:21:29,710
Thank

211
00:21:42,830 --> 00:21:44,330
you. Thank

212
00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:50,380
you very much.

213
00:21:56,580 --> 00:22:02,540
Now, for the moment we've been waiting for also, we have some special

214
00:22:02,540 --> 00:22:10,620
people in the city. If you turn your head around starting here, going around, you're going to go

215
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:15,680
go to that side of the room, you're going to see some special people here.

216
00:22:16,620 --> 00:22:20,240
I want to give, is the honor to have the City Manager to present,

217
00:22:23,420 --> 00:22:24,740
what do you have for them, City Manager?

218
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,200
Go ahead.

219
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,160
Thank you, thank you, Mr. Mayor, members of the commission.

220
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:39,040
So the other day, a long time, for our sheriff's deputy, and a long time north auto police officer,

221
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:45,620
retired from the Sheriff's Office after 37 years of service, about 12 years of

222
00:22:45,620 --> 00:22:49,380
service with the City of North Lauderdale and about 25 years of service with the

223
00:22:49,380 --> 00:22:53,500
Sheriff's Office. So the city has been with the Sheriff's Office as I said for

224
00:22:53,500 --> 00:23:00,360
about 25 years. There are two deputies or two deputies sheriff's that are

225
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:04,640
original North Lauderdale police officers that still work in our district and

226
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,500
And unfortunately, as of Monday morning, there's only one.

227
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,240
Sergeant Tom Watkins retired.

228
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,520
Why we don't know, but he retired after 37 years of service.

229
00:23:18,340 --> 00:23:21,200
Faithful service to the City of North Lauderdale.

230
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,240
All those years and to the Sheriff's Office.

231
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:31,260
And I think it's a testament to him that so many of the deputies are here today to recognize him.

232
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:37,180
They had a going away part, luncheon for him, that was very well attended by a lot of

233
00:23:37,180 --> 00:23:42,140
current deputies, but a lot of former North Lauderdale police officers also came out to show

234
00:23:42,140 --> 00:23:49,080
their respect to him. So as we saw yesterday, with the incident that occurred in New York and

235
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:56,460
the shooting that occurred in New York, every day when our first responders, police officers,

236
00:23:56,460 --> 00:24:00,700
or firefighters leave home to go to work.

237
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,120
Anything could happen, and the unexpected could happen.

238
00:24:04,820 --> 00:24:10,460
And so, Mr. Mayor, I want to thank you for allowing us to put this on the agenda tonight,

239
00:24:10,460 --> 00:24:17,200
and we want to recognize and give our heartfelt appreciation to Sergeant Thomas Watkins.

240
00:24:18,020 --> 00:24:25,920
For 37 years of dedicated service, his commitment to public safety, professionalism, and integrity,

241
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,700
has made a lasting impact on the community in North Lauderdale.

242
00:24:30,580 --> 00:24:36,000
And so we wish Tom nothing but the best as he enjoys his well-earned retirement.

243
00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:41,720
Know that your contributions to the city of North Lauderdale will never go away.

244
00:24:42,420 --> 00:24:44,200
And you'll always be remembered here.

245
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,300
I heard that there's a big five foot picture.

246
00:24:46,420 --> 00:24:48,400
They put it on somewhere in the police station.

247
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,520
We haven't seen that yet.

248
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:59,960
And I will say that my relationship with Tom goes back to 36 years I've been here and I am the only person in North Laplace.

249
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:29,380
He ever led out of a traffic speeding ticket, so he actually pulled me over in the summer, probably of 1991. I got a call that I needed to come back to the city hall right away from the summer camp and he popped out from behind a tree and pulled me over and after he yelled at me, he let me go. But we have been very good friends. We have an excellent relationship. In all the years, I was the parks director.

250
00:25:29,380 --> 00:25:32,500
We had a fabulous relationship with him.

251
00:25:32,940 --> 00:25:36,000
He supported a lot of the programs that we did and events.

252
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,820
And so not only do we call him Sergeant,

253
00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:41,600
but we also call him friend.

254
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,720
And so we're going to miss him.

255
00:25:44,220 --> 00:25:46,400
But we wanted to recognize him here today.

256
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,100
So Tom, if you all come up, please.

257
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,960
And the mayor and the vice mayor have a gift for you,

258
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,740
your wife and your children, please, as well.

259
00:26:12,210 --> 00:26:13,710
Tom, if you want to say a few words,

260
00:26:13,710 --> 00:26:15,330
You can I'll

261
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,280
be shorter than Thursday though. I know that Thursday. I'm kind of long

262
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,920
So yeah, I'll make a gender. Thank you. Yes. Yes. I'll make this quick. I just want to say that

263
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:31,300
Yes, I came here in March of 88

264
00:26:31,860 --> 00:26:39,080
You know, you know walk through the doors of the police department across the street and I've been coming here since 1988 all the way up to

265
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,560
2025 so driving down to work every day and and walking in the back door

266
00:26:44,340 --> 00:26:47,180
and then going home and it's been a pleasure working for the city.

267
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:48,680
I actually love the city.

268
00:26:48,820 --> 00:26:54,780
They took care of me, the city manager and I had been friends but he was also my boss

269
00:26:54,780 --> 00:27:00,160
kind of too and we have a good relationship and he's always taking care of me and I want

270
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,200
to say thank you Mike for all that you've done for me.

271
00:27:03,140 --> 00:27:07,720
And if commissioners thank you for doing this for me, you didn't have to but I appreciate

272
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:08,220
that a lot.

273
00:27:08,220 --> 00:27:16,180
I have a lot of friends here, my boss is here from Lutonica Stovies, Luton and Myers is here,

274
00:27:17,060 --> 00:27:20,640
and I got a lot of friends here, Sergeant French, and everyone back in the back.

275
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:26,320
So it's really kind of bittersweet right now, because I fun on Thursday was a good thing.

276
00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:33,380
But this is, Thursday was my luncheon, so, but now tonight's kind of like a final thing,

277
00:27:33,380 --> 00:27:42,600
So it's a little bit sad to be honest with you, but you know it's time. So I had a great career. I had a great ride and

278
00:27:43,260 --> 00:27:51,360
Everyone treated me great and I'm going to say more than the city when I always called the city either I called up Sam Bay or

279
00:27:51,360 --> 00:28:01,360
Or Scott Barnett or Fitz or Shavon those guys responded to me right away taking care of this our district really great people and

280
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:03,400
and awesome people that you have worked for this city

281
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,760
you really do, you really do.

282
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,560
And that's pretty much it, but thank you so much again

283
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,860
for having this, it's very special.

284
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:14,040
And my wife is here, my son and daughter are here.

285
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,380
So thank you again everyone, and I really appreciate it.

286
00:28:17,380 --> 00:28:18,320
I'm gonna miss everyone a lot.

287
00:28:18,620 --> 00:28:19,140
I really am.

288
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:20,100
Thank you.

289
00:28:25,180 --> 00:28:28,380
Vice Mayor has something to present to you right now.

290
00:28:28,540 --> 00:28:30,060
We just wanted to present that first.

291
00:28:30,820 --> 00:28:31,780
You can present to them.

292
00:29:08,900 --> 00:29:10,720
Do you want to bring me deputies up as well?

293
00:29:45,010 --> 00:29:47,010
What the fuck?

294
00:29:48,130 --> 00:29:48,750
What the fuck?

295
00:30:01,550 --> 00:30:03,670
We have all the raised to the local government.

296
00:30:07,690 --> 00:30:10,230
Deputy Secretary, you have to be convinced of that?

297
00:30:39,930 --> 00:30:40,550
Thank

298
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:45,500
you very much.

299
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,420
Thank you very much for taking

300
00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:01,600
us to item six proclamations.

301
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:08,500
And this moment we have someone special here to us.

302
00:32:10,780 --> 00:32:13,920
There's a proclamation I'm going to, as Madam Clerk,

303
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,180
you have the, Madam Clerk, you have the president.

304
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,380
I want to read it people.

305
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:20,120
Thank

306
00:32:23,890 --> 00:32:24,270
you.

307
00:32:28,940 --> 00:32:29,820
Thank you very much.

308
00:32:29,820 --> 00:32:30,400
I'm

309
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,140
going to call Mr. Sivan, Mr. Police, come by,

310
00:32:46,470 --> 00:32:47,170
let me read that,

311
00:32:49,590 --> 00:32:50,630
you made a big difference

312
00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:53,490
by you coming a few weeks ago,

313
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,460
I'll say it's a plea for a great cause and let me read

314
00:33:00,460 --> 00:33:06,060
this proclamation from the Commission here, whereas the CD of No Flotterdale is a vibrant

315
00:33:06,060 --> 00:33:12,040
and diverse community made strong by the unity, resilience and contribution of its residents

316
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:19,660
and stake holders, and whereas the Boulevard serves as more than just a place, it represents

317
00:33:19,660 --> 00:33:25,420
the spirit of community shared culture and a common bond that brings neighbors, families

318
00:33:25,420 --> 00:33:31,240
and generations together, and whereas it is fitting to set aside a date to honor, acknowledge

319
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:37,160
and remember the unity that defines our community, and to recognize the imageable value each resident

320
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,120
and brings to the fabric of North Lauderdale

321
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,520
and whereas the Boulevard symbolizes the strength,

322
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,360
progress, and collective pride of the North Lauderd

323
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,740
community offering a space for celebration,

324
00:33:48,740 --> 00:33:50,140
reflection, and fellowship.

325
00:33:50,900 --> 00:33:53,400
And whereas all residents, community leaders,

326
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,480
and organizations are to participate in this day

327
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,360
of recognition, celebration, and unity,

328
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,640
affirming our shared commitment to a strong,

329
00:34:01,980 --> 00:34:05,340
inclusive, and connected North Lauderdale and whereas.

330
00:34:05,340 --> 00:34:13,760
This day encourages all residents to reflect on their role in uplifting one another, which

331
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:20,920
is what you did, to embrace their shared heritage, and to celebrate the value and dignity

332
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,320
of all who call an off-law to their home.

333
00:34:24,220 --> 00:34:29,660
Now therefore, the mayor and the commission of the City of Nothlaw to their home does

334
00:34:29,660 --> 00:34:37,780
Because hereby proclaim July 29th, the Boulevard Day, today is 29th.

335
00:34:38,300 --> 00:34:39,580
Thank you for today.

336
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:40,940
Thank you.

337
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,260
I want to present, let me come down here and present to you.

338
00:35:11,620 --> 00:35:36,940
Good evening, Mayor, Vice-Mayor commissioners and residents of the great city of North Lauderdale. Thank you guys so much for this proclamation. I do want to just add that our mother from the will of art was not able to make it today because she is sadly working. She wasn't able to take off, but she asked that I come in her stead and she just wanted me to say thank you all for just acknowledging what our little community in this city has done and what we hope to really

339
00:35:36,940 --> 00:35:39,560
and balance throughout our great community.

340
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,260
So thank you all so much for this day

341
00:35:41,260 --> 00:35:43,040
and I want all the residents to know that.

342
00:35:43,420 --> 00:35:47,160
We chose the Boulevard day just because we realized that

343
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,260
our little communities connected by our streets,

344
00:35:49,260 --> 00:35:52,820
our roads, our boulevards, and it was a great way for us

345
00:35:52,820 --> 00:35:54,760
to just recognize everybody that really does

346
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,920
make this place feel like home and a safe space for all of us.

347
00:35:58,020 --> 00:35:59,320
So thank you guys again so much.

348
00:36:00,380 --> 00:36:00,780
Thank you.

349
00:36:03,450 --> 00:36:07,670
Okay, thank you, this will conclude our presentation

350
00:36:07,670 --> 00:36:14,290
except that allow me to do something that's not on the agenda, but it's on the agenda.

351
00:36:14,650 --> 00:36:15,290
I have to say that.

352
00:36:16,490 --> 00:36:25,290
Yesterday I had a pleasure and honor to be at the Boys and Girls Club down here,

353
00:36:25,290 --> 00:36:34,030
and I was presented a plaque from the organization

354
00:36:36,850 --> 00:36:39,810
there for our participation

355
00:36:39,810 --> 00:36:48,850
with providing the scholarship for one of the students there, but I also receive one

356
00:36:48,850 --> 00:36:55,150
and the person was not being able to make it there, now I want to present this plaque

357
00:36:55,150 --> 00:37:00,250
to vice mayor D. Rick is right here from the boys and girls you didn't know

358
00:37:00,250 --> 00:37:04,150
that I had it for you right here so I just want to present it to Mayor everybody

359
00:37:04,150 --> 00:37:11,320
otherwise you would get it by yourself there thank

360
00:37:17,790 --> 00:37:21,950
you thank you

361
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:25,960
and this is

362
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:33,240
for contributing what she did was is that pick responded to one letter to support

363
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:42,220
a scholarship and then right there she said okay I have to split the scholarship also and then

364
00:37:43,020 --> 00:37:47,480
they took note so thank you for what you do and I want to say thank you to all our colleagues

365
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:53,380
here for the participation also helping other students there and many things we're doing for the schools

366
00:37:54,040 --> 00:38:01,580
so this is what it's about thank you very much again thanks a lot and now I'm going to have

367
00:38:01,580 --> 00:38:12,560
Madam Clerk, please read how people would we're going to the public comments or you can tell exactly what's how people can join us here during the public comments there.

368
00:38:13,860 --> 00:38:26,480
Yes, Mayor Borgeland. This is the public comment section of the agenda. Each person, each speaker must step up to the podium and give his or her name and address before speaking.

369
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:33,620
your limited to three minutes maximum to speak on your item and your time will

370
00:38:33,620 --> 00:38:39,900
be told you'll be told when your time is done. You're asked to speak on

371
00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:43,800
items that are not on the agenda this evening if it's something that's on the

372
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,580
agenda you'll be given an opportunity to speak on that that time. Thank you

373
00:38:48,580 --> 00:38:54,480
Madam Clerk and I just have to add you don't have to worry about what you when

374
00:38:54,480 --> 00:39:01,620
When you come to the podium, stay in your name, we're trying to match as much not to respond

375
00:39:01,620 --> 00:39:07,500
to it because right now we have not only a live stream, but to see the manager is directed

376
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:09,440
to take notice from that.

377
00:39:10,380 --> 00:39:18,560
And then at our next meeting, he will give you the outcomes for what progress we're making

378
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:18,820
there.

379
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:24,000
So, even at tonight, you will have outcomes from the previous meeting there.

380
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,840
So feel free, but you expect your three minutes, up to three minutes.

381
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,500
You can share it if you want to.

382
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,700
With this Madam Clerk, the first speaker please.

383
00:39:33,980 --> 00:39:35,920
The first speaker is Carol Shane.

384
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:41,460
And if you have not written, you want to speak please, right now is the time you can

385
00:39:41,460 --> 00:39:44,360
share with us the clerk, right now to give you a name right now.

386
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:44,800
Thank you.

387
00:39:48,170 --> 00:39:51,290
Hi, Mr. American missionaries, residents.

388
00:39:51,790 --> 00:39:52,850
My name is Carol Shane.

389
00:39:52,850 --> 00:39:55,570
I live at 6480 Southwest 8th Street.

390
00:39:56,490 --> 00:39:59,970
I want to say that code is doing an excellent job but...

391
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:29,360
Currently, I've noticed that people aren't adhering to the rules. We're lucky to have a bulk pickup once a week. Most cities or states have them once a month or maybe once a quarter. But it seems now that everybody thinks every day is bulk day. And they just put everything out no matter what day of the week it is, and it sits there sometimes for well over a week. There's an excessive amount of cars that are parked on lawns in front of the houses in my neighborhood. I've counted as many 10.

392
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,480
in one area in between the houses and all around.

393
00:40:33,780 --> 00:40:35,160
Some of them are not operable.

394
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,340
I don't know if code can take care of that.

395
00:40:37,980 --> 00:40:40,320
And there's a lot of auto repair happening

396
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,600
in the driveways around the city.

397
00:40:44,380 --> 00:40:46,700
Okay, the next thing is gonna come up later.

398
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,340
I'm a member of the Charter Commission Review Board.

399
00:40:51,980 --> 00:40:55,440
And we received an email from the commissioners.

400
00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:14,980
It was resolution 25-06-1693 with no explanation or no purpose of why we got it except it seemed very mean-spirited that we were being picked on and told that we needed a code of conduct the way we were behaving.

401
00:41:16,340 --> 00:41:21,660
You don't run out of resolution and threaten to terminate valid to your positions that nobody

402
00:41:21,660 --> 00:41:22,320
else wanted.

403
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,720
The meetings are televised, but now it appears we're being banished to the small community

404
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:28,800
affairs building with no IT connections.

405
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:34,720
If there's a problem that is being had with the commission, please address us.

406
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:35,640
We're there.

407
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:36,880
Talk to us.

408
00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:41,420
I found this email that we got with this resolution very insulting.

409
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,760
It's not like we're a bunch of teenagers sitting around gossiping.

410
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,920
If there's a problem, please direct it to us just as we direct issues to you.

411
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:59,440
This is especially since the resolution wasn't signed by every commissioner, so it seems

412
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:07,400
to me it was a little negative of a purine, so my other comment comes up later in the agenda.

413
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:07,980
Thank you.

414
00:42:08,420 --> 00:42:08,820
Thank you.

415
00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:16,460
The next is a group of people that want to speak together.

416
00:42:17,020 --> 00:42:21,860
Efron Ellis, Lebanese Daily, and Havelin Wynne.

417
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:27,580
Hello, good evening.

418
00:42:28,340 --> 00:42:29,700
My name is Havelin Wynne.

419
00:42:29,940 --> 00:42:32,580
My address is 81.85, South Cate Boulevard.

420
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,500
And I am representing our whole one association located

421
00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:40,700
on 81st at Salgate, Laurel Cove.

422
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:59,800
We're here to bring up what we call the dangerous corner on 81st and Southgate where there are several accidents and more than not the accidents usually end up in our community and we're having to plant

423
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:06,360
that. Um, bushes and trees and everything again. And we also know that we're one of the

424
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:10,980
only communities that do that does not have a wall. We have walls built everywhere except

425
00:43:10,980 --> 00:43:18,320
our community. And um, we just want to hopefully get that on in the budget or in, I'm not sure

426
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,220
how this works, but we're hoping to bring some attention to this because we are afraid that

427
00:43:22,220 --> 00:43:27,940
one day, um, our one of the owners that lives on that corner, the car's going to barrel right

428
00:43:27,940 --> 00:43:36,240
her town home. Okay. And not only the owner that lives in the corner, we have

429
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:41,700
families with small children. They ride their bikes, their scooters, we walk and

430
00:43:42,420 --> 00:43:46,400
we don't want it to be a fatality where one day a vehicle comes in our

431
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:52,000
community and someone loses their life. So we are pleading. We really need a

432
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:57,840
wall and that's one of the main reasons why we are here tonight because we're

433
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:05,920
scared that someone is going to lose their life and we have another issue. We'll give them

434
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:10,940
extra there more. Could you please give your name? My name is Shevanese Daly and I live

435
00:44:10,940 --> 00:44:13,740
at 8187 South Gate Boulevard. Thanks.

436
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:22,320
All right and our second concern is the daily water

437
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:30,580
release that's happening in our community so it's damaging our roads and we've had several

438
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:38,520
this underground pipe burst and we've had to call the city to come out there and do emergency repairs

439
00:44:40,660 --> 00:44:48,660
and we are not totally sure why so one has come in the community and released this water all

440
00:44:48,660 --> 00:44:56,920
But when it floods our streets, one of our streets, and it's again damaging the asphalt you can see where we have we're starting to get potholes and

441
00:45:00,050 --> 00:45:31,300
We're going to be doing our asphalt again soon, but it's going to seem counterproductive. If the water release is going to happen every day, it's settling in our community and damaging our streets and adding anything. The other issue also is whenever we have heavy rain, all we need is 10 minutes of heavy rain and our communities flooded. We have been cleaning our drains every six months.

442
00:45:31,300 --> 00:45:33,640
I'm sorry, we're adding more minute because there's three.

443
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,220
We've been cleaning our drains every six months,

444
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,660
but it seems like it doesn't help.

445
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,700
I don't know what the issue is,

446
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,180
but whenever there's rain, it floods.

447
00:45:43,540 --> 00:45:44,840
Like the water just settles,

448
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,820
and it takes eternity to receive.

449
00:45:47,420 --> 00:45:49,300
So that's another issue that we have.

450
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:51,380
That's it.

451
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:55,160
This is it, thank you.

452
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:58,360
Okay, I said, we're trying not to comment so much,

453
00:45:58,400 --> 00:45:59,840
but on this one I have too,

454
00:45:59,940 --> 00:46:01,820
because I want to thank you very much.

455
00:46:02,500 --> 00:46:09,480
There are areas discussing what many people call the other side of North Florida is still

456
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:18,300
no Florida because on the other side of the Southgate, 81st and Southgate, but CD Manager

457
00:46:18,300 --> 00:46:24,360
is for the record, CD Manager is on top of that, based on the last visit we have last week,

458
00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:30,320
but we want to thank you again to make it here to be the voice of the community of that

459
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:30,600
area.

460
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,960
Thank you, and be more for me with us, okay?

461
00:46:33,420 --> 00:46:35,780
Thank you very much, you're a great time, thanks a lot.

462
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:36,360
Thank you all.

463
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:41,160
Okay, and your commissioner is, Commissioner Markney right here.

464
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:42,600
Thank you.

465
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,820
Madam Clerk,

466
00:46:48,490 --> 00:46:50,110
please, I was going to go advice mayor.

467
00:46:50,650 --> 00:46:53,310
Madam Clerk, please, the next speaker please.

468
00:46:53,370 --> 00:46:55,690
The next speaker is Barbara Herrera.

469
00:47:06,030 --> 00:47:09,450
Good evening mayor, vice mayor, commissioner, staff, and residents.

470
00:47:10,030 --> 00:47:11,250
My name is Barbara Herrera.

471
00:47:11,250 --> 00:47:18,990
Government Affairs Manager for WM 2380 College Avenue in Davy. I am here

472
00:47:18,990 --> 00:47:24,810
tonight to touch on two subjects very very briefly. I've sent you each an

473
00:47:24,810 --> 00:47:31,870
update on fire prevention prevention of trash fires and I am here tonight to

474
00:47:31,870 --> 00:47:37,010
ask you to please disseminate that information to your residents to your

475
00:47:37,010 --> 00:47:43,010
friends or neighbors because trash fires are something that are extremely dangerous, extremely

476
00:47:43,010 --> 00:47:45,750
costly and completely preventable.

477
00:47:46,390 --> 00:47:52,410
Something as simple as do not put anything that's combustible in your garbage, batteries,

478
00:47:52,650 --> 00:47:58,750
especially lithium batteries, chemicals, gasoline, little, little propane tanks.

479
00:48:01,810 --> 00:48:03,710
Those little propane tanks.

480
00:48:03,710 --> 00:48:10,070
We have unfortunately lost drivers to truck fires if you can imagine the horror.

481
00:48:10,710 --> 00:48:15,290
So we are asking you also please come together as a community to disseminate the information

482
00:48:15,290 --> 00:48:19,610
so that we can prevent this horrible tragedy happening ever again.

483
00:48:20,270 --> 00:48:24,310
The second item that I'd like to talk to you about is something else that I've disseminated to you

484
00:48:24,310 --> 00:48:28,410
is an update on our WM recycling South Florida.

485
00:48:28,410 --> 00:48:35,650
us. So I sent you pictures of the construction progress at our brand new site, which is scheduled

486
00:48:35,650 --> 00:48:41,950
to open toward the end of this year. WM Recycling South Florida is extremely exciting, especially

487
00:48:41,950 --> 00:48:49,310
for a trash lady like myself, because I love talking trash. But I especially love talking

488
00:48:49,310 --> 00:48:54,870
about recycling. The facility that we're about to open will be state of the art. It's going

489
00:48:54,870 --> 00:49:02,230
to be able to process about 60 tons of material per hour, 60 tons of material per hour.

490
00:49:02,710 --> 00:49:06,230
Right now we're processing about 30 tons of material per hour.

491
00:49:06,790 --> 00:49:07,290
Exactly.

492
00:49:07,610 --> 00:49:11,810
We're going to be able to capture about 95% of recyclable materials.

493
00:49:11,990 --> 00:49:15,670
So the materials that we're going to be able to capture when we open are not actually

494
00:49:15,670 --> 00:49:19,830
captureable right now because we're not having the equipment in place yet.

495
00:49:19,830 --> 00:49:27,710
But we're going to have state-of-the-art AI technology to make sure that we are able to be as effective as possible with our recycling.

496
00:49:28,270 --> 00:49:37,110
And it's right here in Broward County. So it's going to be the greatest, the biggest, the bestest, especially in Southeast United States.

497
00:49:37,110 --> 00:49:44,170
And we're very excited. When we open our doors, I will be inviting each of you to come and tour, and I hope you bring your residents.

498
00:49:45,570 --> 00:49:47,370
Again, thank you very much for your time.

499
00:49:47,570 --> 00:49:49,250
I am available to you and your residents.

500
00:49:49,430 --> 00:49:50,210
You can have any questions.

501
00:49:50,890 --> 00:49:51,350
Thank you.

502
00:49:51,650 --> 00:49:53,930
Just before you go, I said I'm not going to comment,

503
00:49:54,050 --> 00:49:54,610
but I have to.

504
00:49:56,730 --> 00:49:59,830
A couple of years ago, I had a privilege.

505
00:50:00,110 --> 00:50:06,630
to go. A few years ago, as commissioner, I had a privilege to go and visit the site. And I believe

506
00:50:06,630 --> 00:50:12,130
commissioner Bustalmante went there, too. I don't know who else have an opportunity to go.

507
00:50:12,450 --> 00:50:19,610
But if it's not an issue, I'm going to ask maybe Madam Attorney or Manager at this point,

508
00:50:20,190 --> 00:50:27,270
how can we set up a field trip for the commission to go and visit, to see even before we have

509
00:50:27,270 --> 00:50:35,410
the new new place there because it's really a very informative educational how we process

510
00:50:35,410 --> 00:50:41,590
there and when you collect this the visit trash absolutely how can we do that if it can

511
00:50:41,590 --> 00:50:49,140
be done just for that purpose the nothing else will be discussed so it's there's nothing

512
00:50:49,140 --> 00:50:56,100
illegal about going to visit a waste facility as a team yeah there is there is something

513
00:50:56,100 --> 00:51:00,660
that you have to be aware of is that you can't be engaged in a conversation about anything

514
00:51:00,660 --> 00:51:06,320
that's coming before the Commission under the Sunshine Law, so we tend to recommend

515
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:14,340
to avoid these group meetings but you know there's nothing prohibiting you from going there

516
00:51:14,340 --> 00:51:18,420
as long as you don't engage in any conversations about topics that may come up.

517
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:25,560
Okay, so if you can figure out how you want to do it, I will be happy to work with your

518
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:30,040
attorney and make sure that everything is done consistently with her recommendations

519
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:34,660
and we have a field trip because seeing the way that it is now I think it's fantastic.

520
00:51:34,660 --> 00:51:35,100
I know.

521
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:35,700
You've seen it.

522
00:51:35,820 --> 00:51:35,940
Yes.

523
00:51:36,260 --> 00:51:39,820
And you know what it's like to experience it firsthand.

524
00:51:40,180 --> 00:51:40,280
Right.

525
00:51:40,460 --> 00:51:42,360
And that way you can see the comparison.

526
00:51:42,540 --> 00:51:47,300
So absolutely, sir, if you'll allow me tomorrow, I'll reach out and I'll extend an invitation

527
00:51:47,300 --> 00:51:49,720
and we can go from there and find a date that works for this.

528
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:49,980
Yes.

529
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,400
Good, great coordination.

530
00:51:51,720 --> 00:51:52,520
It should have happened there.

531
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:57,220
And I would like to make you have this remember we're gonna be talking trash. Well, that's what we're gonna see trash

532
00:51:58,820 --> 00:52:04,700
Well, good track. Thank you very much. Okay. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Have a wonderful evening. I'll play with you. Thank you

533
00:52:04,700 --> 00:52:10,060
My name's Clark. Then next speaker please next speaker is Christopher Burke Jones

534
00:52:24,380 --> 00:52:24,820
Hello

535
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,080
My name is Christopher Burke 6710. Oh kill

536
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:30,920
Boulevard champions

537
00:52:33,900 --> 00:52:35,080
kind of never sorry

538
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:43,720
Up until this point, everything felt so serious and I kind of feel like my issue, I don't

539
00:52:43,720 --> 00:52:48,060
know, kind of doesn't level up to all the issues that have been talked about to this

540
00:52:48,060 --> 00:52:48,300
point.

541
00:52:48,620 --> 00:52:55,580
But it's still serious in a sense if you take the important factors of it, which is

542
00:52:55,580 --> 00:52:56,200
the sun.

543
00:52:56,780 --> 00:52:58,360
It's been very hot lately.

544
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:05,960
Tampa was just 100 degrees records being broken every day. So my issue that I

545
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:13,300
wanted to bring up was North Lauderdale has 11 parks, 6 basketball courts, 4

546
00:53:13,300 --> 00:53:20,040
tennis courts and none of these parks have covers as far as like shade from

547
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:24,940
the sun. I play basketball at one of these parks every Sunday. We've been out

548
00:53:24,940 --> 00:53:31,480
there consistently for about two, three years and it's it's very hot. We've put

549
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,760
up tarps, we've tried different things, we you know we have water and

550
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,980
everything out there but I don't know how this works but I brought like pictures

551
00:53:38,980 --> 00:53:44,180
kind of like examples to kind of give you guys ideas of what covers look like

552
00:53:44,180 --> 00:53:51,860
on parts. Let's see, Pompano Park does have one tiny shade but I mean it only

553
00:53:51,860 --> 00:53:57,000
covers a piece of the playground. It doesn't cover the whole playground. I have three kids. My

554
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:03,180
oldest is five. My youngest is just turned one on Thursday. So I use the park. You know, I try

555
00:54:03,180 --> 00:54:08,480
to take them out to, you know, tie them out for nap time. And, you know, sometimes I don't even

556
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:16,480
want to do that because it's very hot. I end up taking a nap too. So, my vision kind of just,

557
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:22,980
you know, green poles, white tents, you know, I found a couple companies that, you know,

558
00:54:23,300 --> 00:54:24,600
provide that service.

559
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:31,800
Prices are from $10,000 to $20,000 to $100,000, but I've been in North Lauderdale since

560
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:36,000
98, and the one thing they've always said about North Lauderdale is it's the richest city

561
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:36,700
in our county.

562
00:54:39,380 --> 00:54:44,980
So, you know, these shades are architecturally pleasing, North Lauderdale has a lot of beautiful

563
00:54:44,980 --> 00:54:49,460
parts in all the different communities, the ones that have both problems, the ones that

564
00:54:49,460 --> 00:54:54,300
have flooding issues, they all have nice parks, but none of them have any covers. So,

565
00:54:54,500 --> 00:54:59,920
um, and the last, I know I'm running out of time, but the last thing I wanted to say is it,

566
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:28,060
I hope you guys save money because we just had our court painted on breakburn and that was probably going to make, I don't know, maybe a few months ago, five, six months ago, I don't know. But the court's already faded. So if you, if you invest in the shades, then you spend less money on replacing that less money on painting courts because it probably cost you $10,000 to paint the court. So if you spend $20,000 on a shade, you might not have to spend $10,000 on painting court for like three, four years.

567
00:55:28,060 --> 00:55:38,300
so you know it balances itself out but um yeah is that more time no um uh your time is up

568
00:55:38,300 --> 00:55:45,720
I will give you okay 30 seconds yeah okay so if I if I could say something um if you guys I don't

569
00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:49,380
know where you guys live if you live in the city outside the city but if you go to different parks

570
00:55:49,380 --> 00:55:55,720
around you know uh Broward County uh sunrise different things like that they have courts that have

571
00:55:55,720 --> 00:56:01,180
covers but their parks don't look as good as ours. So, you know, if we kind of

572
00:56:01,180 --> 00:56:08,340
invest in that, it, you know, helps everybody. All right. Thank you. And thank you.

573
00:56:09,420 --> 00:56:16,480
And, I can say, it is taking note but it takes one to no one, I would say. If you

574
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,860
sense you're playing, you understand it's going on and I believe that we're

575
00:56:19,860 --> 00:56:24,780
going to be working on that. Thank you very much. And wait for next next week or

576
00:56:24,780 --> 00:56:30,920
next meeting as a matter of our next meeting is going to be in September. We should have

577
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:36,860
a recess probably for the month of August. But we shall have the city manager and the

578
00:56:36,860 --> 00:56:41,780
commission will also decide since we have a process of budgeting also. Thank you.

579
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:48,300
Again, we should reach out to the city manager. Okay. My name is Clark. Anyone else?

580
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:48,740
Yes.

581
00:56:49,180 --> 00:56:50,700
Okay. How many more do we have?

582
00:56:52,920 --> 00:57:00,220
five. Five more. Five more. Okay. Yes, let's go. The next speaker is Elba

583
00:57:00,220 --> 00:57:00,700
Bawada.

584
00:57:09,940 --> 00:57:11,980
Good evening. My name is Elba Bawada in the

585
00:57:11,980 --> 00:57:18,000
V8207 South Coral Circle. I'm here to comment on the resolution that was

586
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:27,160
passed on June 24th of this year, 25061693. I'm just coming to speak about it

587
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,520
because I was out of country when this resolution was passed.

588
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,900
And while I know that the commission,

589
00:57:34,180 --> 00:57:36,500
the city commission has authority to discipline

590
00:57:36,500 --> 00:57:39,000
and vice-report for any unethical conduct,

591
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:43,240
I believe that by censoring the board in itself

592
00:57:43,660 --> 00:57:47,320
for actions of one of the members was unfair to us.

593
00:57:47,820 --> 00:57:50,340
We were given the opportunity to respond

594
00:57:50,900 --> 00:57:52,620
that this was coming up in a meeting.

595
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,120
We weren't told what was going on.

596
00:57:55,120 --> 00:58:02,260
And in the discussion, the resolution was passed on words like they received credible

597
00:58:02,260 --> 00:58:10,140
concerns, possible misuse of position, sharing anonymous and potentially false information.

598
00:58:10,860 --> 00:58:14,800
But none of us had the opportunity to say, no, we didn't do this.

599
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:16,400
And what was the concern?

600
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:22,720
What was the possible misuse of position that a board member had done or committed?

601
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,880
and because none of us were told about it.

602
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,140
I received also the email and I was upset.

603
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,400
I was upset it took me a month to write this

604
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,020
because this was very unfair to us.

605
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:35,720
We didn't get a chance to defend ourselves.

606
00:58:36,700 --> 00:58:38,780
They were doing a voluntary work

607
00:58:38,780 --> 00:58:41,540
and it takes a lot of time for us to do research

608
00:58:41,540 --> 00:58:44,580
and write up our comments and to get this

609
00:58:44,580 --> 00:58:48,500
from a resolution basically saying,

610
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:50,380
you're not doing a good job.

611
00:58:50,380 --> 00:58:54,200
You know, you can't speak unless you ask permission.

612
00:58:54,800 --> 00:59:00,420
We've been sent to a community center that barely has any parking space, and for what?

613
00:59:01,180 --> 00:59:04,520
I still don't know what the credible concern was.

614
00:59:05,220 --> 00:59:07,580
How did the position get misused?

615
00:59:07,940 --> 00:59:13,060
And the fact that the entire board was censured is also appalling.

616
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:19,240
And I asked the board that I asked, I'm sorry, I asked the commission to please reconsider this and

617
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:25,540
rescind this resolution and really conduct a proper investigation and give us the opportunity

618
00:59:25,540 --> 00:59:31,660
to respond to this and not just get an email saying this was passed you got to go somewhere

619
00:59:31,660 --> 00:59:37,840
else and you can't say anything unless we tell you to. Thank you. Thank you, Madam Clerk.

620
00:59:39,020 --> 00:59:43,040
Next is Annie Asensio and Linda Vicker.

621
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,140
Good afternoon. Mayor of Vice Mayor of Commission

622
00:59:56,140 --> 00:59:58,120
of the resident.

623
00:59:58,640 --> 00:59:59,980
My name is Anniel Siddler.

624
01:00:05,580 --> 01:00:29,980
I want to thank everyone who was involved in getting the party out of the neighbourhood, which is very peaceful now. We thank you. I want to thank Mr. Mayor for addressing the drainage area. I watched when it rained. It does not flood in the area. He even put grass down, which is great. We thank you, Mr. Mayor. My concern tonight is

625
01:00:29,980 --> 01:00:35,360
fire works whenever they feel like it. I mean be like 11 o'clock at night all of a sudden you

626
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:41,300
don't know if firework or a gun shooting in the air. Then the garbage cans like the lady uh

627
01:00:41,300 --> 01:00:47,900
the spoke the very first speaker, garbage cans and uh trash. I mean they put it out after they pick

628
01:00:47,900 --> 01:00:55,000
up. I'm not sure if they own dope. I don't know. The garbage can goes out just as soon as they pick it up.

629
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:55,600
I'm like, really?

630
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,920
And trash, I mean, it stays there for a whole week.

631
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:00,940
They've just picked up the trash.

632
01:01:01,420 --> 01:01:04,360
So we got to look at this power three, four,

633
01:01:04,940 --> 01:01:05,880
the whole neighborhood.

634
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:07,800
I'm like, everybody's smoking dope now.

635
01:01:09,140 --> 01:01:11,960
The parking on the soil, I was coming with her

636
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:12,920
to the commission meeting.

637
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:14,240
We almost got hit.

638
01:01:14,380 --> 01:01:15,040
We got a picture.

639
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,340
I was not going to picture her, come to the car.

640
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,620
Because there's so many cars on that, that's way old.

641
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:20,540
That way we live it.

642
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,740
I mean, somebody going to die on that soil.

643
01:01:22,740 --> 01:01:27,440
You know, sidewalk park and that grass and moussa mayor

644
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:31,680
planted, the new resident that moved in, they got four cars.

645
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,100
I mean, so many look like a car dealer now, right?

646
01:01:34,180 --> 01:01:35,000
In the same neighborhood.

647
01:01:35,380 --> 01:01:38,380
I mean, the houses got so many cars in the neighborhood.

648
01:01:38,660 --> 01:01:42,540
You don't know if they car dealers or resident.

649
01:01:42,780 --> 01:01:44,640
You don't know because there's so many cars there.

650
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:47,420
I mean, I feel that the corporation

651
01:01:47,420 --> 01:01:49,100
whoever doesn't need to be held accountable.

652
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:52,020
Thank you.

653
01:01:53,020 --> 01:01:54,460
He's in lessons everyone.

654
01:01:55,060 --> 01:02:00,180
My name is Linda Jones-Fickers, and I live at 709-02 Southwest Eighth Court.

655
01:02:00,900 --> 01:02:08,660
And the reason that I'm here is I want to talk about the neighborhood and how we can

656
01:02:08,660 --> 01:02:11,420
do what we can do as a community to clean it up.

657
01:02:11,860 --> 01:02:13,280
I live in North Park, okay?

658
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:20,580
Last week, recycling did not pick up the garbage, and the people just left it at the curbside,

659
01:02:20,580 --> 01:02:28,760
Okay, last night someone sent me pictures, one of my neighbors sent me all these pictures of trash all over the 80th Avenue, okay?

660
01:02:30,100 --> 01:02:40,540
And it was because the garbage was left out there, the recycling bin, and some people, they don't know to pull the regular garbage in, so trash blows all over.

661
01:02:40,820 --> 01:02:50,060
That is an infection control issue. I'm a retired nurse, when you have trash all over the place it brings rodents and not creates disease.

662
01:02:50,060 --> 01:02:56,280
Okay, so what I would like to know is what can we do as a community to get the people

663
01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:00,460
riled up to get the community cleaned up, you know.

664
01:03:01,060 --> 01:03:02,920
We can't do it and you can't do it all by yourself.

665
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:04,320
We all need to join together.

666
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:08,400
But what can we do as a whole to come?

667
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:15,480
My church just moved from Hollanddale to Tamarack on Westback Mab right at that old Lutheran

668
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:15,980
church.

669
01:03:16,180 --> 01:03:16,760
Okay.

670
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:21,960
However, I don't want anyone to come and visit me at my house because I'm ashamed of my neighborhood

671
01:03:23,060 --> 01:03:26,200
So please can we clean up North Park?

672
01:03:26,580 --> 01:03:28,000
Can we clean up North Lauderdale?

673
01:03:28,260 --> 01:03:31,680
Can we come together as a community and clean it up?

674
01:03:31,740 --> 01:03:33,740
Not just one area the whole

675
01:03:33,740 --> 01:03:42,160
North Lauderdale because you say we are a community we need to be united and I fight to clean up and keep it clean

676
01:03:45,780 --> 01:03:50,400
I appreciate it thank you for your time and come to visit the new church

677
01:03:52,580 --> 01:03:58,940
7875 West McNabb, okay? We'll be waiting for you. I'm coming for you, ma'am.

678
01:04:00,540 --> 01:04:05,380
No problem. Thank you very much. I'm in trouble. Thank you.

679
01:04:05,380 --> 01:04:06,560
All right. My name is Claire.

680
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:08,460
That is Samada Johnson.

681
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:24,000
Good evening, Mayor Boisland, commissioners and residents.

682
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,400
I see one of my issues.

683
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,760
I was going to talk about stronger together.

684
01:04:29,060 --> 01:04:30,220
So don't talk about that at all.

685
01:04:30,540 --> 01:04:31,900
Wait for it to be on the calendar.

686
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:33,760
Don't be better.

687
01:04:33,980 --> 01:04:35,540
OK. So I'll wait on that.

688
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:40,160
I wanted to talk to miss Vickers about the trash because I wanted to say something

689
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:40,760
about that real quick.

690
01:04:40,860 --> 01:04:41,980
And we use my three minutes wisely.

691
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:46,720
We do do a street cleanup, but it would be good if we did something

692
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:51,500
And as a community, I was sharing with Mayor that I have noticed that when we do put out

693
01:04:51,500 --> 01:04:56,920
our trash, especially if it's not in a dumpster, if it's in a black trash bag, we do have

694
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:58,540
neighbors that go through our trash.

695
01:04:58,540 --> 01:04:59,980
So that is...

696
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:29,460
I probably wanted a biggest challenge is because the trash is out there and you did put it out there nice and neat. But we do have other neighbors that are going through our trash. That's something that we have to work on as a community. I also wanted to talk about what Miss Carol and Miss Abba talked about as far as the charter. I am one of the charter board review members as well. And so, yes, we would like to have more information about what's going on or why or are we in time out or we in trouble about that.

697
01:05:29,460 --> 01:05:34,940
that we did, get the email, but we all didn't know what was really going on as it related

698
01:05:34,940 --> 01:05:35,400
to that.

699
01:05:35,980 --> 01:05:38,660
And so that's all I have right now, and I'll save the rest for later.

700
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:39,040
Oh, wait.

701
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:40,540
I wanted to say mayor.

702
01:05:40,700 --> 01:05:41,140
I did attend.

703
01:05:41,300 --> 01:05:44,980
I don't know if you all have been following the mayor and attending these mayor of cultural

704
01:05:44,980 --> 01:05:45,280
nights.

705
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,220
But last Friday, we had all American night, it was kickball night.

706
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:50,680
We had a good time.

707
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:51,820
That was a good time.

708
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:52,980
Mayor was out there playing.

709
01:05:53,100 --> 01:05:53,860
I appreciate that.

710
01:05:53,860 --> 01:05:56,720
I appreciate that a lot because I had attended some events.

711
01:05:56,900 --> 01:05:58,740
The last mayor of cultural night, I attended.

712
01:05:58,740 --> 01:06:04,980
I had a good time but when I got there they asked you what country you're from to grab a flag

713
01:06:04,980 --> 01:06:10,480
and I said I'm from America they didn't have any American flags. I was like I'm American you know but there

714
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:16,540
I guess they were out of the American flags so this last event was all American kickball so it was really really

715
01:06:16,540 --> 01:06:22,260
a good time so I appreciate you mayor for that as well. Thank you very much.

716
01:06:26,670 --> 01:06:27,830
Thank you.

717
01:06:29,270 --> 01:06:33,250
the next speaker. I'm here with the next speaker. Oh, yeah, you have one more

718
01:06:33,250 --> 01:06:37,230
I'll add two more. I'll make it three. That's one more before. There's one more.

719
01:06:37,430 --> 01:06:39,010
Okay, all right, that's fine. Okay.

720
01:06:39,310 --> 01:06:41,270
I'm here. Thank you.

721
01:06:42,530 --> 01:06:42,990
Good

722
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:56,960
evening Mr. Mayor.

723
01:06:58,260 --> 01:06:58,720
Commissioners.

724
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,340
My name is Luke Casmer.

725
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,960
I live at 800 Southwest.

726
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,560
60 second revenue not loaded ill.

727
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:16,220
I am a very happy comparer. I love not loaded ill and

728
01:07:16,220 --> 01:07:24,200
I can tell you that I take notice of all the beautiful things that being done in the

729
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:36,000
city. I am a father of 10 kids, five daughters, five sons, 12 grandchildren and two great

730
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:46,080
ones. And when they travel to come to see me, I want them to see that I live in a place

731
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:53,710
that's nice and peaceful. I love this city.

732
01:07:55,740 --> 01:07:57,760
I can look at it. The way that was

733
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:01,980
done on that neighborhood, the walls,

734
01:08:04,750 --> 01:08:08,450
not Louisville Avenue, more importantly,

735
01:08:09,150 --> 01:08:10,590
came very bouvard.

736
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:18,020
I feel like I don't have to travel in some other cities, beautiful

737
01:08:18,020 --> 01:08:23,120
flowers and something nice I should see that where I live and that was

738
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:33,640
delivered and I thank you for that. However we have challenged now a beautiful

739
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:41,020
city or peaceful city is being told that

740
01:08:45,690 --> 01:08:48,950
is only one is going to be put right on

741
01:08:48,950 --> 01:08:51,970
my backyard and many others.

742
01:08:56,160 --> 01:09:00,860
They were also built to link

743
01:09:03,060 --> 01:09:03,840
for detail.

744
01:09:06,980 --> 01:09:07,580
It's concerned

745
01:09:07,580 --> 01:09:17,460
me and many others because the traffic will change, it'll be harder to get out, the noise,

746
01:09:17,460 --> 01:09:25,180
the value of for him and so much more at stake.

747
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:33,400
I am here to bring this concern to your attention.

748
01:09:34,380 --> 01:09:42,880
I know you promise us when you campaign that you will protect us, you will make us see the beautiful.

749
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:51,100
But please look at the destruction that will come with an auction.

750
01:09:51,100 --> 01:09:59,340
No wage in Beled County, you'll find an action in the backyard of Wizzler.

751
01:10:01,300 --> 01:10:09,800
You will find one, down in Hollywood, next to the sidewalk. You will find one, and I'm not

752
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:20,700
a here, by a graveyard. The dead cannot hear anything. And you will, you will see us,

753
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:28,640
or see you would be the only one if we are allowed to happen, to when somebody after waking

754
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:36,980
a nurse, a nice shift 7 to 7 come home hoping to sleep and be ready to go to work again.

755
01:10:37,980 --> 01:10:42,120
The distraction in those will prevent that from happening.

756
01:10:43,340 --> 01:10:47,920
This company told us that they're going to...

757
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,160
There is a leak in the property now.

758
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:52,340
There will be another leak.

759
01:10:52,980 --> 01:10:55,680
The one that's there now,

760
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,960
When it's really a lot, it's over-throwed.

761
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:03,680
It went to my yards and caused the erosion of the ground.

762
01:11:05,020 --> 01:11:09,480
Now they're going to put it in the enclosure by the sheds, if they do build one.

763
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:14,220
I have neighbors when they build the parking lot, the bulldozer,

764
01:11:15,660 --> 01:11:21,740
shake the house, the person, a lot of money to do, pay for it, and all that.

765
01:11:21,740 --> 01:11:31,120
I don't know why people are here to talk about this, but I care enough about myself, my family, my neighbors.

766
01:11:32,380 --> 01:11:35,420
I'm going to cut your tummy up, way over.

767
01:11:35,780 --> 01:11:36,520
Two minutes already?

768
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:37,540
Oh, okay.

769
01:11:37,700 --> 01:11:38,040
Yes.

770
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:39,520
My tummy is off.

771
01:11:39,700 --> 01:11:40,820
Yes, way, way up.

772
01:11:41,020 --> 01:11:41,540
Oh, okay.

773
01:11:41,820 --> 01:11:49,860
Well, I believe, as speaking, I believe this is an item that's going to be coming up very soon.

774
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:57,900
it all depends you probably can you'll discuss that it's coming up in a few minutes so you

775
01:11:57,900 --> 01:12:03,040
have an opportunity to talk normally would would not allow you to speak on that okay okay so you

776
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:09,500

777
01:12:09,500 --> 01:12:14,300
madam clerk and the last speaker is Danielle McGee

778
01:12:17,910 --> 01:12:20,050
principal good

779
01:12:25,110 --> 01:12:26,270
evening everyone I just want

780
01:12:26,270 --> 01:12:32,670
I'm going to stop by to thank Mayor Borgeland for coming by to our inaugural Principal's Summer

781
01:12:32,670 --> 01:12:32,990
Bash.

782
01:12:33,790 --> 01:12:38,810
The families and our students were so amazed with the mere fact that you took the time

783
01:12:38,810 --> 01:12:42,230
out of your busy schedule to come by and support our families.

784
01:12:42,750 --> 01:12:48,310
Majority of our families at Summer Set Prep North Lauderdale are City of North Lauderdale

785
01:12:48,310 --> 01:12:50,330
members, you know, residents.

786
01:12:50,830 --> 01:12:53,350
So I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you.

787
01:12:53,350 --> 01:13:00,010
I thank all of you all that have been supporting my campus for so many years, but your presence

788
01:13:00,010 --> 01:13:04,870
there, it meant so much to our families and just thank you so much for the donations

789
01:13:05,510 --> 01:13:10,810
and everything that you've done since you've been there here and also a lot of the members

790
01:13:10,810 --> 01:13:12,150
that are on your commission.

791
01:13:12,770 --> 01:13:17,290
I can't thank you all enough and I know I don't come a lot of times to the meetings, it is

792
01:13:17,290 --> 01:13:22,770
because I do get to work at 6.30 in the morning and a lot of times I'm there to late in the evenings

793
01:13:22,770 --> 01:13:26,990
but I just wanted to stop by this evening to let you all know how much we

794
01:13:26,990 --> 01:13:31,550
appreciate all of the efforts that you all have put into my amazing families and

795
01:13:31,550 --> 01:13:36,450
students at Somerset Prep North Lauderdale. Mike, thank you very much and

796
01:13:37,050 --> 01:13:40,870
thank you as well. We really, really appreciate everything that you all do for us.

797
01:13:41,330 --> 01:13:44,850
Okay, I'm not gonna comment, but I have to comment. I'm gonna say that with a

798
01:13:44,850 --> 01:13:48,290
time. Thank you. I know you can come up here. We want to take a picture.

799
01:13:48,290 --> 01:13:55,430
that you were here with us you and as a matter of fact we're going to get you as a teacher not doing good in the hood

800
01:13:55,430 --> 01:14:05,970
okay as a teacher here because this event was very hot but you make it very entertaining for the people who are this Saturday

801
01:14:05,970 --> 01:14:14,950
and it was a lot fun and I want to thank the City and the Commission also for allowing that you have the stage there

802
01:14:14,950 --> 01:14:20,990
Yes, I had to make a big difference. Thank you for what you do. Thank you see the joy the people have for you to be there

803
01:14:20,990 --> 01:14:23,270
Your principal in the whole staff

804
01:14:23,270 --> 01:14:29,910
Yes, and Ms. Johnson is our actual new activities director that actually spearheaded the entire I know

805
01:14:29,910 --> 01:14:35,650
I'm so we're so appreciative of her being on our team. Yes, and then just have to confess

806
01:14:35,650 --> 01:14:39,710
I'm not I'm not good at dancing there, but I could keep up with you

807
01:14:39,710 --> 01:14:43,290
So I have to stop this in my area. I can play music, but not dancing

808
01:14:43,290 --> 01:14:47,370
So, thank you for coming up here, take a picture with the whole, both of you.

809
01:15:05,100 --> 01:15:07,580
All right, thank you for what you do at the summer set.

810
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:45,080
We want to thank Madam Clerk, that's the last person. Thank you. We want to thank everyone for taking your time. So precious time in for those of you constantly coming here to the meeting there. We appreciate your participation here. And keep up for the next meeting there under one item. We're going to have a response from city manager for where we're at at this point there and in the following meetings.

811
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:53,420
and so on. But thanks a lot. This concludes our public comments section there. And we're going into

812
01:15:56,660 --> 01:16:04,840
item 8 with everyone having packaged there. Is there any addition or deletion or corrections

813
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:08,220
to the agenda?

814
01:16:10,940 --> 01:16:16,360
It's the time to. I understand we're going to remove from anybody.

815
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:21,480
at all. No. I'm going to remove the item nine.

816
01:16:28,230 --> 01:16:31,470
I'm sorry, not nine. Well, we

817
01:16:33,740 --> 01:16:34,160
can always

818
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:34,960
do it there.

819
01:16:40,540 --> 01:16:48,640
14 F, I believe you you indicated mayor 14 F. See that I'm sorry. Item 14 F, you

820
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:52,780
heard it. 14 F. I believe this. I'm trying to figure it. Yes, where is that?

821
01:16:55,500 --> 01:16:58,040
It's 14 F. And

822
01:17:02,300 --> 01:17:07,520
14, 14 Hs. So we have it done, right? Correct. I want to make sure there's some correction.

823
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:15,700
Yes, we modified it. It's on the agenda.

824
01:17:17,220 --> 01:17:19,160
But Hs remain remaining, correct?

825
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:20,540
Yes.

826
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:27,240
Okay. Good. All right. Okay. So 14 F and that's

827
01:17:29,900 --> 01:17:33,540
also for now. All right. With this, we're going to go,

828
01:17:33,540 --> 01:17:39,720
So we need to, we're moving with item 9, 9a.

829
01:17:40,220 --> 01:17:42,560
We need a motion

830
01:17:49,220 --> 01:17:52,480
in second to read, basically,

831
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:53,280
motion read.

832
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:56,500
Madam Attorney, that's your vote.

833
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,120
This is the quasi-judicial items.

834
01:17:59,940 --> 01:18:00,880
Yes, okay.

835
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:01,720
Well, yes.

836
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:04,640
So we're just in interest, so far, to be honest item.

837
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:05,300
Thanks for that.

838
01:18:05,820 --> 01:18:06,040
Right.

839
01:18:06,300 --> 01:18:09,780
I will read a short script to describe

840
01:18:09,780 --> 01:18:16,440
the process. All witnesses will testify on any item in this portion of the agenda will be sworn,

841
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:21,560
participants or members of the general public need not be sworn and will not be subject to cross

842
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:26,660
examination if they are not sworn. However, the commission shall not assign on sworn testimony,

843
01:18:27,380 --> 01:18:33,240
the same weight or credibility as sworn testimony and its deliberations. The applicant has

844
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:37,720
the burden of proof. After the applicants concluding remarks, the hearing will be closed

845
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:42,800
and no additional testimony material or argument will be allowed unless the commission chooses

846
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:49,280
to request additional testimony. But each quasi-judicial item presented the public will have

847
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:54,740
the opportunity to be heard as it relates to the opinion for or against the relevant item.

848
01:18:55,340 --> 01:19:00,560
The commission will then deliberate. The commission's decisions will be based on substantial evidence

849
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:05,680
evidence in the record. All evidence relied upon by reasonably prudent person in the conduct

850
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:10,840
of their affairs may be considered in these proceedings regardless of whether this evidence

851
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:12,180
would be admissible in a court.

852
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:17,160
He'll say evidence may supplement or explain other evidence, which I'll not alone support

853
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:22,120
a conclusion unless it would be admissible of objection and court. The material in the

854
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:27,560
commission attends the packets will be considered as evidence without authentication. All witnesses

855
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:35,540
This is when Tenticus won testimony on this, the entire portion of the agenda will be sworn in together at this time by the city clerk.

856
01:19:37,100 --> 01:19:43,700
Anyone wishing to testify this evening please stand and raise your right hand on any of these quasi-judicial items.

857
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,200
It's weird to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

858
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:49,200
Thank you very much.

859
01:19:50,420 --> 01:19:58,980
You may proceed, you will be reading just the motion correct or no problem.

860
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:29,260
Item 8, resolution of the city commission of the city of North Florida, the off-roader, approving a special exception use permit to allow the expansion of a preschool within a B2 zoning district, pursuant to section 106-468 of the city's code of ordinances, a home preschool located at 978 southwest, 81st Avenue, providing for conditions, providing for conflicts, providing for severability and providing for an effective date. Okay.

861
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:48,080
We're going to agree up on City Manager still debriefing that or Miss Mayor, we decided that because these are the quasi Judicial of that Miss Davis Hernandez is the expert will present these I'll present the rest no problem. Thank you. Welcome.

862
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:11,540
Good evening, Mr. Mayor, Madame Vice Mayor Commissioners, City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, and staff, and the audience.

863
01:21:12,420 --> 01:21:22,160
This will be my only introduction, protocol established, Tanya Davis Hernandez, Development Services Director for the record.

864
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:31,040
or first item Mr. Mayor is the request for an expansion of a preschool so the

865
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,840
preschool I'll bring it up here

866
01:21:37,580 --> 01:21:43,600
I may have touched your item I'll

867
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:48,900
try the

868
01:21:48,900 --> 01:21:55,600
reverse process absolutely not and I'm making a mess so I'll go ahead well we

869
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:58,420
You bring up the item, I'll let Rodney do that.

870
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:05,580
This is a request for an expansion of about 1,000 square foot of daycare space.

871
01:22:06,900 --> 01:22:12,920
The applicant is here, Ms. Thorpe, and she is available for any questions the Mayor and Commission may have.

872
01:22:13,460 --> 01:22:16,220
But the particular expansion in question is for

873
01:22:16,220 --> 01:22:18,740
be 978 at the Town Centre Plaza.

874
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:22,140
It has been vacant since earlier this year.

875
01:22:22,140 --> 01:22:33,900
It was a Christian bookstore and it went out of business and as such, the landlord is now leasing the space to

876
01:22:33,900 --> 01:22:42,600
distort to expand her preschool. It's called Home Preschool. It's an acronym and I'll let the applicant explain further what

877
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:45,020
the home means for the man commission.

878
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:54,680
However, the background analysis on this is that the 1,000 square foot needs an additional three parking spaces.

879
01:22:55,240 --> 01:23:02,840
There are 95 parking spaces in the plaza to serve all the businesses, all 10 businesses that are currently in the plaza.

880
01:23:03,460 --> 01:23:11,960
The report regarding the staff report as well as the resolution is in the agenda item for

881
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:15,540
the Mayor and Commission to review, so I'll go through the standards of review real quick

882
01:23:15,540 --> 01:23:17,740
because we have a long agenda.

883
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:24,920
And this is to clarify that staff went over through the DRC process with the DRC members

884
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:31,880
and the applicant, and as such all the requirements that are needed through DRC has been met by

885
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:32,600
Ms. Thorpe.

886
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:39,600
Since the PASA is existing and the business use is to occupy the space, it's not increasing

887
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:45,120
in any of our services in terms of utilities and public facilities or drainage.

888
01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:53,840
The traffic generated is not a factor in this case as in the day care is existing and

889
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:55,980
is expanding into another day.

890
01:23:57,500 --> 01:24:05,180
And we have gone over the requirements witness door regarding the six recommendations that

891
01:24:05,180 --> 01:24:05,940
are listed there.

892
01:24:05,940 --> 01:24:10,840
I know what we stated to the mayor in commission yesterday in our general review, that we had

893
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:16,000
an opportunity in the review process for the DRC to talk about the plaza itself, because

894
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,460
it is under some changes.

895
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:23,580
And the primary concern for us is the access on the plaza.

896
01:24:23,780 --> 01:24:25,600
So it is to make sure that it's safe.

897
01:24:26,700 --> 01:24:33,320
It currently has had faded indication of one way and do not enter signs.

898
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:41,920
so that is going to be marked out so it will be brightened, improved through the traffic means necessary.

899
01:24:42,580 --> 01:24:48,860
They do not enter signs, they were straightened and make sure that they're posted in the right areas.

900
01:24:49,300 --> 01:24:57,540
There is a fire lane that's in the plaza too, which if it's faded, it must be restriped.

901
01:24:57,540 --> 01:24:59,820
and because it's won

902
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:29,980
The way Ms. Thorpe is well aware, we had this discussion that all the parents will park and the students will be walked safely, because it's a preschool, their children, to the daycare. So the safety issues were addressed on the outside as well as the inside, and that is the inside is addressed by the, of course, the Florida building code, which will be the applicant go through that process for a permit. And the outside will be

903
01:25:29,980 --> 01:25:35,760
address with the landlord as that's the landlord's responsibility and staff will ensure

904
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:43,100
that is addressed prior to the certificate of occupancy and even just prior to the landlord

905
01:25:43,100 --> 01:25:51,520
being able to go through any process that they wish in future such as exchange of the property.

906
01:25:52,380 --> 01:25:56,840
And of course, as the main commission know, that if you don't maintain the property that

907
01:25:56,840 --> 01:26:02,800
That is a code violation, and we'll be addressed so accordingly if it's not addressed.

908
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:07,340
Now, the magistrate will further require action.

909
01:26:08,480 --> 01:26:13,500
That, Mr. Mayor, concludes my presentation, and I'll answer any questions the Mayor and

910
01:26:13,500 --> 01:26:18,540
commission may have of me, and Mr. Thorpe, the applicant is here.

911
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:20,340
Thank you.

912
01:26:22,140 --> 01:26:24,900
This item is open to the public for hearing at this point.

913
01:26:24,900 --> 01:26:30,780
Anybody in the audience feel free to come to the podium if you have any comments any question there

914
01:26:32,220 --> 01:26:35,160
Have been that I haven't none that's include the

915
01:26:35,860 --> 01:26:38,300
Affiliate if you want to make a statement

916
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:45,640
Have been none. Okay. We need a motion the second to approve there

917
01:26:46,260 --> 01:26:47,460
Motion to approve

918
01:26:49,020 --> 01:26:55,080
Okay, it's up into the commission for discussion anyone any comments any question

919
01:26:55,080 --> 01:27:10,140
have a non-madam clerk please do the roll call for us. Commissioner Dr. Martin? Yes. Vice Mayor Lewis Brickett? Yes. Commissioner Busquimante? Yes. Commissioner Lewis? Yes. Mayor Borgillani? Yes.

920
01:27:11,460 --> 01:27:16,460
For item 9a? Yes. Yes, ma'am.

921
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:22,840
We should ask, you should ask whether anyone in the audience has anything to say.

922
01:27:23,860 --> 01:27:24,480
I just did.

923
01:27:24,900 --> 01:27:25,500
Nobody did.

924
01:27:25,660 --> 01:27:26,200
Nobody did?

925
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:26,940
Nobody did.

926
01:27:27,420 --> 01:27:29,760
And I said, including the applicant.

927
01:27:30,220 --> 01:27:30,900
Thank you.

928
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:31,780
I stand corrected.

929
01:27:32,660 --> 01:27:33,500
No problem.

930
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:33,920
That's fine.

931
01:27:34,260 --> 01:27:34,480
We did.

932
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:37,640
Okay.

933
01:27:38,420 --> 01:27:39,420
So, item passed.

934
01:27:39,620 --> 01:27:42,920
We're moving on to item 9D.

935
01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:44,620
My name is Attorney.

936
01:27:44,620 --> 01:28:15,930
A resolution of the City Commission of the City of North Florida Dale Florida approving site plan amendment SPR 2503 for the redevelopment of the property located at 827 South State Road 7 to include the construction of an auction house car wash detailing base landscaping drainage upgrades within a general business B3 zoning district in accordance with chapter 98 site plans of the city's code of ordinances providing for findings providing for

937
01:28:15,930 --> 01:28:19,430
conflicts providing close-toe ability and providing for an effective date.

938
01:28:21,740 --> 01:28:22,040
Okay.

939
01:28:22,820 --> 01:28:24,780
Madam Director, you're okay.

940
01:28:25,300 --> 01:28:26,140
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

941
01:28:26,980 --> 01:28:34,360
This item before the mayor in commission is to hopefully refresh the empty space that

942
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:36,940
is languishing on State Road 7.

943
01:28:37,900 --> 01:28:43,240
For background information, all are in presence here.

944
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:46,720
This was the old, awfully site.

945
01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:56,900
If we remember, off-least came into the city, it redeveloped someone to improve the old

946
01:28:56,900 --> 01:29:02,340
Pontiac site that sat vacant for a while, and the idea, of course, was to sell cars.

947
01:29:04,540 --> 01:29:10,660
After off-least went through some financial struggles, the property was bought, but it could

948
01:29:10,660 --> 01:29:12,300
not continue to operate.

949
01:29:12,300 --> 01:29:19,120
As such, the new tenant, they have not purchased a property, but they are leased in the property.

950
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:26,740
Automation has submitted an application to the city, and this is a site plan amendment.

951
01:29:27,740 --> 01:29:32,680
So they have a site plan just for clarification to operate on site.

952
01:29:32,900 --> 01:29:41,660
But the buildings are old, and as such, they are proposing to make some changes in their business model as well as to the site.

953
01:29:41,660 --> 01:29:52,400
The applicant is hoping to construct a 7,267 square foot auction house.

954
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:59,860
They currently have a detailing bay on site which is older so that

955
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:29,980
Particular, they will be demolished and they will replace it with a new 7,800 and 58 square foot detail day. So that's for the car detailing and washing. They will improve on the landscape by doing landscape upgrades. They're going to do an expansion of the retention area. So there is currently a lake on site, however, we will go going to discussion about

956
01:30:29,980 --> 01:30:34,160
the drainage on the property so that we'll should improve it and of course they're going

957
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:43,420
to resurface the area, repave it, new signage, new painting and it's an effort to look

958
01:30:43,420 --> 01:30:50,440
like an automation site. So at the basis they are going to sell cars. That is their business.

959
01:30:50,700 --> 01:30:56,600
They are a car dealership. But in addition to the car dealership they will have an auction

960
01:30:56,600 --> 01:31:02,780
which is weekly. I will allow the representative, the attorney, for

961
01:31:02,780 --> 01:31:09,740
automation to speak on their business model. However, in the backup to the

962
01:31:09,740 --> 01:31:15,740
report for the mayor and commission, there is a supported document that the

963
01:31:15,740 --> 01:31:22,120
applicant has submitted and it is available online to you. If anyone chooses to

964
01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:26,360
review it regarding the general project plan and narrative.

965
01:31:28,660 --> 01:31:32,220
In terms of the assessments and findings and history,

966
01:31:32,980 --> 01:31:37,260
that property is suffered for years with drainage issues.

967
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:40,720
Of course, it's a pretty big area.

968
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:45,220
It's over 18 acres, 18.22 acres.

969
01:31:46,420 --> 01:31:52,120
It is designed a long time ago when it was Pontiac.

970
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:59,940
So that concept of their underground drainage, which I will not speak to, they have qualified persons to do that, it has been said in there.

971
01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:14,300
So over time, improvements are needed. So at this point, they're making those improvements to address the drainage to we have added some conditions and we'll discuss that in the recommendation.

972
01:32:16,350 --> 01:32:25,170
The other improvements include signage and they are supporting their application in an additional

973
01:32:27,010 --> 01:32:34,570
five signage waivers. Those signs will be discussed under the applicant's PowerPoint

974
01:32:34,570 --> 01:32:38,590
presentation. I'll go through each one, but they have a visual and I don't want to present

975
01:32:38,590 --> 01:32:43,050
the same thing and then they present the same thing, but we'll go through each one separately.

976
01:32:44,190 --> 01:32:46,910
and of course the car wash that they're adding.

977
01:32:47,130 --> 01:32:54,030
So pretty much it's standard accessory use for all car dealerships

978
01:32:54,030 --> 01:32:58,090
to have their own car wash on site because they are going to wash the cars

979
01:32:58,090 --> 01:33:00,530
to present them to the public for purchase.

980
01:33:02,090 --> 01:33:05,110
So those are the major things that are happening on the site.

981
01:33:06,210 --> 01:33:09,650
SAF is going to look at the assessments and findings.

982
01:33:09,650 --> 01:33:14,550
And again, this is an existing site plan, so it is coming to us because they are making

983
01:33:14,550 --> 01:33:16,410
those changes to it.

984
01:33:16,970 --> 01:33:19,110
And so we are bringing it to the Mayor and Commission.

985
01:33:21,010 --> 01:33:27,450
In terms of the zoning and compatibility, it is zoned for that by right use, so they

986
01:33:27,450 --> 01:33:29,890
can operate as such on site.

987
01:33:30,830 --> 01:33:39,330
They are bringing their improvements to us which allowed staff and allow the Mayor and Commission

988
01:33:39,330 --> 01:33:43,010
should have input into the aesthetics on site.

989
01:33:44,130 --> 01:33:47,810
But once we have gone through DRC to make sure,

990
01:33:47,850 --> 01:33:53,670
and this DRC included, will be a police or fire department,

991
01:33:54,090 --> 01:33:56,750
or planning and zoning, or landscaping,

992
01:33:57,350 --> 01:34:02,790
and traffic, and engineering.

993
01:34:03,510 --> 01:34:07,290
So as such, whatever comments that came out of the DRC,

994
01:34:07,290 --> 01:34:14,790
that were not addressed prior to the planning and zoning board meeting are listed as recommendations that must be addressed.

995
01:34:15,510 --> 01:34:25,650
And we do have confirmation from all of our DRC members that nothing that needed to be addressed prevented item from being heard by the mayor and commission.

996
01:34:25,890 --> 01:34:33,990
So they were minor details in terms of landscape or making sure the drainage system is effective.

997
01:34:33,990 --> 01:34:39,370
but the application could process and be heard by the man commission.

998
01:34:40,230 --> 01:34:48,430
As such, the planning and zoning border had emergency meeting on the 22nd to hear the

999
01:34:48,430 --> 01:34:57,690
item and at a 4-0 vote recommended to the City Commission that the item be approved and

1000
01:34:57,690 --> 01:34:59,790
and they added a 13th.

1001
01:35:01,300 --> 01:35:08,040
Recommendation. That is complete the six-foot fence that's along the west side of the property.

1002
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:18,160
Coronadear sits a fence that separates the back of the homes along 60-second avenue from this property.

1003
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:22,480
And that fence is going to go all the way up to their property line.

1004
01:35:24,990 --> 01:35:31,750
I just want the Mayor and Commission to keep in mind that this again is compatible with the zoning and the conference of flat.

1005
01:35:31,750 --> 01:35:39,050
that it is in a B3 zone in district, which is our most intense district.

1006
01:35:39,470 --> 01:35:41,470
It is our transit-oriented district.

1007
01:35:41,670 --> 01:35:46,230
So this is a district where the county and the state expect to see heavy traffic.

1008
01:35:46,870 --> 01:35:50,410
They expect to see mass transportation being developed here.

1009
01:35:50,530 --> 01:35:54,370
This is where they courted it like to get as much foot traffic on.

1010
01:35:54,570 --> 01:35:59,070
So this is where the main commission has seen our comprehensive plan where we're promoting

1011
01:35:59,070 --> 01:36:07,550
or high rises and the high volume because it's consistent with not just our code, the county code, and the state.

1012
01:36:08,910 --> 01:36:21,960
And the applicant through their attorney has looked over the 13 recommendations presented here and have agreed to them.

1013
01:36:22,820 --> 01:36:33,700
And I will go through each one, Mayor and Commission, but you see their vast list that covers just about everything that we could think of.

1014
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:39,440
If you want to call it a catch all so that if anything slips through the track, we would address it.

1015
01:36:39,560 --> 01:36:47,460
And of course, keep in mind, they must go through the permitting process and they must go through the county for their environmental.

1016
01:36:47,460 --> 01:37:00,680
So there are several checks and balances through this process to ensure that the product that the community of North Lauderdale sees is something that is worthy of the community.

1017
01:37:01,340 --> 01:37:05,240
And Mr. Mayor in commission, that's the end of my presentation.

1018
01:37:05,740 --> 01:37:07,680
I'll answer any questions you may have.

1019
01:37:08,180 --> 01:37:10,060
I do want to point out one more thing though.

1020
01:37:10,980 --> 01:37:16,940
Mr. Kessner, he has been faithfully attending all of our meetings.

1021
01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:20,780
He was at our planning zone in meeting when it was first table.

1022
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:30,600
We had a special meeting which is a public workshop last Monday, the 14th, not the Monday

1023
01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:37,460
before, and this was to bring all the residents that had concerns about the project so they

1024
01:37:37,460 --> 01:37:42,620
We could talk to the applicant and provide us with any concerns, of course, we can take

1025
01:37:42,620 --> 01:37:47,420
them and put them in our notes to the Mayor and Commission, but the item was already scheduled

1026
01:37:47,420 --> 01:37:48,820
for the Planning and Zoning Board.

1027
01:37:49,940 --> 01:37:56,020
And of course, as a public, he's here to voice his concerns regarding the project.

1028
01:37:56,640 --> 01:38:06,480
And we have explained to him the project by right is permitted, but we have tried our

1029
01:38:06,480 --> 01:38:11,720
best to make sure that we accommodate the concerns as we can through the code.

1030
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:15,180
And that is the end of the presentation, sir.

1031
01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:16,400
Okay.

1032
01:38:16,740 --> 01:38:17,680
Thank you very much.

1033
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:25,780
And at this moment, this item is open to the public for any kind of public here and for

1034
01:38:25,780 --> 01:38:26,220
any comments.

1035
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:26,920
It's open.

1036
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:28,120
Anyone in the public?

1037
01:38:31,100 --> 01:38:31,980
This is your time.

1038
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:36,040
If you, sir, decide if you can speak about it now.

1039
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:36,680
You'll

1040
01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:50,760
have to state your name again one more time

1041
01:38:52,300 --> 01:38:55,100
Thank you Mr. Mayor. You

1042
01:38:59,580 --> 01:39:08,120
look throughout the room. You see that I am probably the tallest person here in this one

1043
01:39:09,500 --> 01:39:10,860
And that's

1044
01:39:13,460 --> 01:39:19,680
really late sometime and I thank you for letting me speak before and I

1045
01:39:19,680 --> 01:39:27,320
my high sometimes I love people to get my attention to what I'm saying.

1046
01:39:32,870 --> 01:39:39,380
Automation has a way to have the dealership as

1047
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:44,880
of this did, as she really did before.

1048
01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:45,680
we

1049
01:39:48,500 --> 01:39:50,040
are not opposing that.

1050
01:39:52,710 --> 01:39:53,170
However,

1051
01:39:55,410 --> 01:39:58,830
there are certain things that take place that we are not.

1052
01:40:00,050 --> 01:40:07,270
What happened before? When Chevrolet dealership was there,

1053
01:40:09,430 --> 01:40:11,490
they were only working by half of the land.

1054
01:40:15,380 --> 01:40:18,100
Both these came and bought,

1055
01:40:21,420 --> 01:40:29,120
part that was all woods and trees that were not part of the dealership.

1056
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:37,760
they then developed it and to back in lot.

1057
01:40:40,390 --> 01:40:41,670
While they were doing that,

1058
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:45,440
it's really

1059
01:40:45,440 --> 01:40:53,770
caused a lot of power to the house that's adjacent to that business.

1060
01:40:56,800 --> 01:40:57,120
But we

1061
01:40:57,120 --> 01:40:58,140
went and do repair.

1062
01:41:03,150 --> 01:41:05,530
They promised to build a wall,

1063
01:41:09,980 --> 01:41:11,340
to study it, but it did not

1064
01:41:11,340 --> 01:41:23,780
thing that left my house and many others' house not having the privacy. We were told we

1065
01:41:23,780 --> 01:41:24,320
would have.

1066
01:41:27,750 --> 01:41:31,590
Backyard where you supposed to have a barbecue with your family. Now you

1067
01:41:31,590 --> 01:41:39,230
have people walking around and looking into your backyard. We lost our privacy as a result.

1068
01:41:39,230 --> 01:41:57,010
and so we bought a home hoping it will grow up in value and it did but now with

1069
01:41:57,010 --> 01:42:08,570
this project anyone who knows about value of a home there's no way they can

1070
01:42:08,570 --> 01:42:18,270
convince you, having an action in your backyard is going to cause the value of your home to

1071
01:42:18,270 --> 01:42:18,710
go up.

1072
01:42:19,210 --> 01:42:25,770
As a matter of fact, you will have a hard time selling that house because people will take

1073
01:42:25,770 --> 01:42:31,370
into consideration the noise and all this thing that will come with an action.

1074
01:42:31,370 --> 01:42:42,450
They killed chalk come in, we hours, chopping cars for the action day, all this will take

1075
01:42:42,450 --> 01:42:42,810
place.

1076
01:42:43,550 --> 01:42:50,730
And after the action, those who bought the car will continue to come with chalk to load

1077
01:42:51,250 --> 01:42:52,930
to take the vehicles away.

1078
01:42:53,430 --> 01:42:55,950
All that is a problem.

1079
01:42:57,370 --> 01:42:59,730
All traffic will,

1080
01:43:01,750 --> 01:43:08,210
so many people on the day of the action will come, it's you will probably

1081
01:43:08,210 --> 01:43:17,010
meet an officer to direct the traffic there, and our children have to go to school, all

1082
01:43:17,010 --> 01:43:18,170
that will be impacted.

1083
01:43:19,650 --> 01:43:21,990
All we are asking is

1084
01:43:24,490 --> 01:43:28,250
to find a suitable place for the action.

1085
01:43:31,330 --> 01:43:37,470
The car dealers should, if the action is not there, I don't need the car details because

1086
01:43:37,970 --> 01:43:48,070
they need the car details to wash the vehicle that comes dirty so that they can be present

1087
01:43:48,070 --> 01:43:49,550
the world for the idea of the action.

1088
01:43:53,250 --> 01:43:55,230
If we really believe

1089
01:43:57,660 --> 01:44:01,540
this city deserves what

1090
01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:06,760
all

1091
01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:19,150
the other city and what we are currently deserve. Well then think about it, we will be the

1092
01:44:19,150 --> 01:44:29,450
only one and not loaded up affected by this, this is going to put an option there.

1093
01:44:31,010 --> 01:44:40,110
If you ever listen to what's going on the day of action, it's a mess.

1094
01:44:41,130 --> 01:44:50,270
It's a mess, loud noise and people, you just have to see it to understand what's going on there.

1095
01:44:50,270 --> 01:44:59,570
This nice beautiful small city was not built for that, it was built for family.

1096
01:45:02,450 --> 01:45:09,790
Sunday vehicle there is not a problem because at the time you will only have four or five

1097
01:45:09,790 --> 01:45:12,130
customer working in

1098
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:19,680
the parking lot looking at cars. That's what we had before with

1099
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:27,900
off lease and whoever was there before. Now we're going to have an action taken place.

1100
01:45:28,500 --> 01:45:34,420
That changed the rural thing. People not coming there only to buy cars. They come in on the

1101
01:45:38,420 --> 01:45:40,020
I mean, you know,

1102
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:51,820
please understand my concern here, I live there and I enjoy when my family

1103
01:45:52,390 --> 01:45:59,020
come to visit, we have it back here at least to have some fun, but now that is, the world

1104
01:45:59,020 --> 01:45:59,960
is not even finished.

1105
01:46:00,100 --> 01:46:04,900
If you're on the other side, you can, how will you feel, you and your back have somebody

1106
01:46:04,900 --> 01:46:08,820
on the other side, looking at what's going on in your yard.

1107
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:10,560
It's unfair.

1108
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:13,020
If you could wrap up for us, please, because it's a time.

1109
01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:13,460
Yeah.

1110
01:46:14,180 --> 01:46:18,780
It's unfair for that to happen to you.

1111
01:46:19,520 --> 01:46:23,060
You cannot enjoy your room, your house.

1112
01:46:24,240 --> 01:46:29,390
You are paying so much to keep with your taxes.

1113
01:46:32,560 --> 01:46:37,320
When I bought this house, my taxes was only $1,400

1114
01:46:37,320 --> 01:46:40,020
dollars now is over 5,000.

1115
01:46:42,660 --> 01:46:49,140
The homeowner's insurance was 1,800 now over 6,000. We're not

1116
01:46:49,140 --> 01:46:53,580
complaining because we know the city needs the money to do the things we want the city

1117
01:46:53,580 --> 01:46:54,240
to do.

1118
01:46:57,620 --> 01:47:06,150
While we're willing to pay for what we have, I don't see how that will improve

1119
01:47:07,490 --> 01:47:11,490
not do that to attract people who want to come to live there.

1120
01:47:11,490 --> 01:47:18,730
All right, your time is going to be up here the time is gone. Yeah, he's gone. Okay, okay. So

1121
01:47:21,630 --> 01:47:22,270
We

1122
01:47:24,230 --> 01:47:34,740
Will our commissioners and I mean, you know, you promised to protect us please protect us

1123
01:47:34,740 --> 01:47:39,120
Because we do vote. We will remember you will help I

1124
01:47:39,120 --> 01:47:48,000
I will come less, I will talk to churches, I support my VISTA official, now I need you.

1125
01:47:50,180 --> 01:47:53,760
Okay, thank you very much. Any other speaker when this issue?

1126
01:47:54,700 --> 01:47:57,780
Yes, be ready. Just take your name.

1127
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:04,620
Good evening, my name is Nektoria Chakis. I'm a land use and zoning attorney

1128
01:48:04,620 --> 01:48:07,680
with the firm Lockery and Chakis appearing on behalf of Automation.

1129
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:12,980
Let me see if my presentation is, do I just click on the PowerPoint?

1130
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:14,180
Oh, there is.

1131
01:48:14,660 --> 01:48:15,120
Okay.

1132
01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:16,220
All right.

1133
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:24,200
I am joined this evening by various members of the design team, as well as representatives

1134
01:48:24,200 --> 01:48:25,220
of automation.

1135
01:48:26,760 --> 01:48:33,680
We are familiar with Mr. Kasmere's concerns, and hopefully through my presentation I'll explain

1136
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:34,860
how we've addressed them.

1137
01:48:34,860 --> 01:48:39,640
And I think there's one thing in particular that we've agreed to do that may go a long

1138
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:41,360
way to satisfying those concerns.

1139
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:45,820
So we're before you this evening on a site plan amendment.

1140
01:48:46,300 --> 01:48:48,040
So this isn't a brand new site plan.

1141
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:53,980
It's an amendment to the old auto lease off lease site plan.

1142
01:48:54,660 --> 01:49:01,060
The buildings that are there now were constructed as best as we can tell in the late 80s.

1143
01:49:01,060 --> 01:49:05,080
The site was purchased by off lease only.

1144
01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:12,840
You know, sometime we believe in the in 2018 and they began operations at that time.

1145
01:49:13,180 --> 01:49:16,720
So it's been historically used as a automobile dealership.

1146
01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:21,640
Pre-owned auto sales are a permitted use in the zoning district by right.

1147
01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:25,820
It's not a special exception use. It's not some sort of special approval.

1148
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:29,200
It's a permitted use, what we call a permitted use by right.

1149
01:49:30,220 --> 01:49:34,840
So an auction is also considered pre-owned auto sales.

1150
01:49:35,580 --> 01:49:41,940
The existing buildings that are on the site right now include a 40,000 square foot building

1151
01:49:41,940 --> 01:49:46,120
that I have my cursor kind of hovering over right now.

1152
01:49:46,540 --> 01:49:48,640
That's the 40,000 square foot main building.

1153
01:49:48,840 --> 01:49:50,580
That building is slated to remain.

1154
01:49:51,260 --> 01:49:55,640
It's going to be refurbished and it's going to be spruced up so that it is up to automations

1155
01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:56,460
standards.

1156
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,460
but those are all things that we can do through our...

1157
01:50:11,020 --> 01:50:28,140
The bill has the ex over it right now is currently used as their detailed building where they spruce up the cars and such. The building is not up to automation standards. It is really a little bit dilapidated.

1158
01:50:30,300 --> 01:50:35,480
automation has before you this evening is to demolish that building and then

1159
01:50:35,480 --> 01:50:41,820
they're going to construct two new buildings. So this is the new site plan.

1160
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:45,160
Oh, let me one more thing I want to discuss because it was raised by Mr.

1161
01:50:45,300 --> 01:50:52,460
Kasmer. He mentioned the flooding on the property. There is currently some

1162
01:50:52,460 --> 01:50:57,820
puddling going on on the property. Automation recognizes that and so the

1163
01:50:57,820 --> 01:51:02,020
So existing pond that is located on the property is going to be expanded.

1164
01:51:02,220 --> 01:51:06,780
It's going to be three times the size and have three times the storage capacity in terms

1165
01:51:06,780 --> 01:51:07,300
of water.

1166
01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:09,360
It's about five to six feet deep.

1167
01:51:10,500 --> 01:51:15,420
So that issue is going to be resolved with this development plan.

1168
01:51:16,520 --> 01:51:18,220
So onto the proposed.

1169
01:51:18,580 --> 01:51:23,400
So that, the lake, as you could see, is much larger than what it is today.

1170
01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:30,740
So it's three times the size and it will have enough storage for more than enough storage

1171
01:51:30,740 --> 01:51:31,360
for our site.

1172
01:51:31,460 --> 01:51:38,060
The site is going to be brought up to current standards, surface water standards that the

1173
01:51:38,060 --> 01:51:39,300
county requires today.

1174
01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:45,620
The site as it is today does not meet the current standard requirements of the county for storm

1175
01:51:45,620 --> 01:51:45,960
water.

1176
01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:59,120
The other thing that for whatever reason, we're not quite sure why, but there is an existing wall that was constructed along the west property line where the single family homes are.

1177
01:51:59,620 --> 01:52:08,540
However, that wall stops right over here where my cursor is. So about halfway along our property, the wall stops.

1178
01:52:08,540 --> 01:52:14,780
and then it's just open here with landscaping, very mature landscaping, but it's, you know,

1179
01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:26,000
landscaped and the concern that Mr. Kazmir mentioned about noise, about fumes, visibility

1180
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:32,700
to the operation, auto-nation, they want to be good neighbors, and although they're not required

1181
01:52:32,700 --> 01:52:37,580
do this they went ahead and said let's go ahead and construct the missing

1182
01:52:37,580 --> 01:52:42,660
segment of this wall so that all of the single family homes that are located on

1183
01:52:42,660 --> 01:52:47,020
the west side of the property will now have a six-foot wall. So if that wall

1184
01:52:47,020 --> 01:52:52,920
that exists will we'll go ahead and match it up to that and so there's no more

1185
01:52:52,920 --> 01:52:57,240
gaps and there's no more segments that are missing. I think that'll go a long

1186
01:52:57,240 --> 01:53:02,140
way to taking care of some of the concerns that were raised. The other thing

1187
01:53:02,140 --> 01:53:06,400
that auto nation is going to be doing is constructing a new detail building.

1188
01:53:06,600 --> 01:53:09,720
So the new buildings that you see on the site plan are in yellow.

1189
01:53:10,080 --> 01:53:11,120
We highlighted them in yellow.

1190
01:53:12,020 --> 01:53:15,840
So this is the new detail building and then the new auction building.

1191
01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:24,240
So the new use that's being introduced to the site in terms of pre-owned auto sales is the auction use.

1192
01:53:24,440 --> 01:53:30,160
The auction use occurs once a week on Thursdays usually from around noon to 2 o'clock.

1193
01:53:30,160 --> 01:53:34,240
Sometimes it extends a little bit longer, but those are, it's a quick thing.

1194
01:53:34,440 --> 01:53:37,640
It's not a thing that's extended very long.

1195
01:53:38,420 --> 01:53:47,200
So that use is taking place in this new auction building located where my cursor is kind of hovering over.

1196
01:53:48,260 --> 01:53:55,460
The building is located about 700 feet away from the single family residences over here.

1197
01:53:55,460 --> 01:54:05,400
So it is a significant distance away from the single family home, so it's about 695 feet away, I round it up to 700.

1198
01:54:06,300 --> 01:54:08,120
So it's a pretty big distance.

1199
01:54:08,940 --> 01:54:18,320
The other component that is part of this project, and that is something that's not changed very similar to the off lease operation, is the pre-owned auto sales for you and I.

1200
01:54:18,320 --> 01:54:24,260
My normal customers who don't have an auto auction license can come off the street and

1201
01:54:24,260 --> 01:54:28,620
come out, you'll park your car somewhere close to the main building because that's where

1202
01:54:28,620 --> 01:54:32,080
the offices will be, where the sales offices will be located.

1203
01:54:32,780 --> 01:54:34,320
And you can go in there and buy a car.

1204
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:38,020
So that is a normal pre-owned auto sales component.

1205
01:54:38,820 --> 01:54:42,260
The auto auction component, as I said, is a once a week operation.

1206
01:54:43,040 --> 01:54:47,540
And with the improvement with this new wall that's going to be constructed, we think that

1207
01:54:47,540 --> 01:54:52,660
That's going to be a big step forward toward taking care of some of the concerns that were raised.

1208
01:54:53,740 --> 01:54:57,760
And the other thing that is not changing on this plan is the access.

1209
01:54:58,060 --> 01:54:59,920
So all of the access to this property.

1210
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:28,640
Number three is from state road 7. So if you're coming to the property, you would come in through the main entrance here. That is exactly the way it exists today. So a customer or anyone auto auction customer or the retail component customer would come in through here exiting the property. You have the choice of going out of this entrance as well. So this is an in and out. Or you could just simply go out on the north entrance here.

1211
01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:33,120
Actually, it's the exit, I shouldn't call it an entrance because it's an exit only.

1212
01:55:33,820 --> 01:55:36,920
And then you have another exit only at the south end.

1213
01:55:37,060 --> 01:55:39,620
So there's no entrance into this neighborhood.

1214
01:55:39,900 --> 01:55:43,840
Everything occurs from where it should, the long state road seven.

1215
01:55:44,200 --> 01:55:47,100
This is a commercial property and that's where the access belongs.

1216
01:55:49,710 --> 01:55:54,750
These are some renderings of the building, so you could see the existing building, auto

1217
01:55:54,750 --> 01:56:02,230
donation here, and then the existing office, additional offices, which is about 1,300 square feet, that's slated to remain.

1218
01:56:02,910 --> 01:56:05,810
And then you see the new buildings in the back, often the distance.

1219
01:56:06,710 --> 01:56:13,490
So this is the auction building, and then this is the detailed building where they spruce up the cars before they're brought to sale.

1220
01:56:14,490 --> 01:56:24,250
This is another view of the property, so again, this is the existing building that will be spruced up, and then the existing office building, small office building,

1221
01:56:24,250 --> 01:56:27,530
and then the auto auction building and the detail building.

1222
01:56:29,810 --> 01:56:32,190
And these are some close-ups of those new structures.

1223
01:56:34,010 --> 01:56:39,370
I don't know, Mayor, if it's appropriate, but I can run through the sign waivers which are also on the agenda

1224
01:56:39,370 --> 01:56:42,550
and I can run through them and you can vote on them separately if you'd like

1225
01:56:42,550 --> 01:56:47,110
or we can do them separately if you'd like whatever your preferences.

1226
01:56:47,730 --> 01:56:50,510
It might be quicker if I just run through them now

1227
01:56:50,510 --> 01:56:52,190
and you can vote on them separately.

1228
01:56:53,010 --> 01:56:53,490
It's up to you.

1229
01:56:53,490 --> 01:57:02,290
What do you, we have five items here, what do we want to go through once or no separate?

1230
01:57:05,290 --> 01:57:05,390
Yes.

1231
01:57:05,530 --> 01:57:05,710
Okay.

1232
01:57:06,550 --> 01:57:10,550
We'll do, because that may be just to go separate.

1233
01:57:11,170 --> 01:57:11,690
Okay.

1234
01:57:12,810 --> 01:57:18,850
All right, so that basically concludes our presentation on the site plan amendment and what we're proposing there.

1235
01:57:19,190 --> 01:57:24,810
We do have the sign waivers, which I'll talk about as each sign waiver item comes up.

1236
01:57:24,810 --> 01:57:34,470
all right okay thank you this conclude there's no more speakers here okay this

1237
01:57:34,470 --> 01:57:40,790
conclude our public hearing on this issue here now well

1238
01:57:44,690 --> 01:57:46,430
you already have you

1239
01:57:46,430 --> 01:57:54,710
have one yours already sir actually yeah his role is to know I think he's

1240
01:57:54,710 --> 01:58:03,250
is to say why or why not and he said it he doesn't get to question her he doesn't

1241
01:58:03,250 --> 01:58:08,470
get to question the attorney Mr. Casimir does not get to question the

1242
01:58:08,470 --> 01:58:15,220
attorney he just needs to say is he for against and he already said that okay so

1243
01:58:15,220 --> 01:58:18,280
So he can speak, is that correct?

1244
01:58:18,440 --> 01:58:19,140
No, question.

1245
01:58:19,480 --> 01:58:20,740
Yeah, okay, no problem, yes.

1246
01:58:20,980 --> 01:58:21,500
We're already done.

1247
01:58:24,260 --> 01:58:27,440
Okay, this is, so we're gonna need a

1248
01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:40,460
recommendation here

1249
01:58:40,460 --> 01:58:41,280
is to.

1250
01:58:41,440 --> 01:58:41,800
To the chair.

1251
01:58:42,740 --> 01:58:43,400
Hold on a second there.

1252
01:58:44,200 --> 01:58:46,420
Yes, hold on a second there.

1253
01:59:00,800 --> 01:59:03,740
Okay, this is an item that the plane

1254
01:59:06,720 --> 01:59:07,680
is zoning already.

1255
01:59:08,540 --> 01:59:09,580
United, misleaf, proof.

1256
01:59:12,200 --> 01:59:17,140
but I did not see the city's recommendation here.

1257
01:59:23,330 --> 01:59:26,710
Yes, it's not clearly stated there as usual.

1258
01:59:27,170 --> 01:59:44,510
Through you, Mr. Mayor. Yes. The city does recommend approval of the item. The item was prepared ahead of time because of the conflicting schedule for a planning and zoning board. But yes, it is recommended that the item be approved.

1259
01:59:44,510 --> 01:59:52,270
Once we heard from the planning and zoning board and 12 recommendations were accepted by the applicant.

1260
01:59:55,510 --> 01:59:58,710
We need some assistance here because

1261
02:00:14,020 --> 02:00:31,540
We're going to have to do each item separately. Right now, what we see approving would be the amendment to the site plan and then we'd go on to the next item. You may give

1262
02:00:31,540 --> 02:00:45,480
after voting on that item you may give staff an opportunity to present what the signage changes would be each one of them she could go through all of them at once and then we could vote on each of them separately.

1263
02:00:46,720 --> 02:00:52,820
But you did not really get to understand the signage piece so you need to have that on the record.

1264
02:00:52,820 --> 02:01:02,680
Okay. All right. So we would like to enter an emotion there from the commission here on this on this item before we go on to discussion.

1265
02:01:04,850 --> 02:01:15,930
The site plan amendment for the site for the site plan a mentor amended the site plan to add a new auction house called wash and

1266
02:01:15,930 --> 02:01:21,070
detailing bay in accordance with the chapter 98 of the coding or ordinance.

1267
02:01:25,970 --> 02:01:28,390
You know, I believe it's just three.

1268
02:01:30,870 --> 02:01:32,090
Yes, it's just eight.

1269
02:01:32,610 --> 02:01:35,010
Yes, even though it's only just a stone.

1270
02:01:36,450 --> 02:01:41,370
I hate to do this, but just based on kind of hearing the concern of some of the residents.

1271
02:01:41,890 --> 02:01:44,730
And I was not able to have my meeting this month.

1272
02:01:45,330 --> 02:01:48,010
I'm going to ask if maybe we could tell you what is.

1273
02:01:48,010 --> 02:01:51,410
And I could speak with my residents and bring it back to next meeting.

1274
02:01:52,950 --> 02:01:53,350
Okay.

1275
02:01:55,330 --> 02:01:57,430
He's going to need those second there.

1276
02:01:57,710 --> 02:01:58,230
Yes, I see.

1277
02:01:58,250 --> 02:01:58,550
Wait that.

1278
02:01:58,930 --> 02:01:59,270
Okay.

1279
02:01:59,610 --> 02:01:59,950
Second.

1280
02:02:02,090 --> 02:02:02,490
And

1281
02:02:06,200 --> 02:02:09,620
before we take it, well, actually we take it about, there's no discussion at this point

1282
02:02:09,620 --> 02:02:10,200
I would say.

1283
02:02:10,920 --> 02:02:18,280
But it's just, let me, may I address a concern that I think Commissioner Lewis brought up.

1284
02:02:18,280 --> 02:02:25,220
We actually did have a community meeting where folks were noticed along the single family

1285
02:02:25,220 --> 02:02:29,860
homes who were noticed and Mr. Kasmer was the only individual that actually you've noticed

1286
02:02:29,860 --> 02:02:31,560
the townhouse community, too.

1287
02:02:32,680 --> 02:02:39,820
Just here, you recognize this, just here in the voice of Mr. Kasmer alone, I just want to

1288
02:02:39,820 --> 02:02:44,400
be able to at least have a conversation even with just you when we represent the district.

1289
02:02:46,660 --> 02:02:50,020
You know, I have a district meeting every month, so I just want to have a meeting.

1290
02:02:50,560 --> 02:02:51,000
Okay.

1291
02:02:51,940 --> 02:02:58,400
It's been moved and seconded, but I just want to say also that I concur with that in a

1292
02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:08,480
way because I was taking notes, if it's not enough to make sure we have a community meeting

1293
02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:13,640
again with the developer, and that aspect along because what I heard is everything else is

1294
02:03:13,640 --> 02:03:20,260
Okay, except the the we find another place so I don't know if we can well I'll recommend that we have another

1295
02:03:20,860 --> 02:03:23,160
With that one more meeting there

1296
02:03:23,820 --> 02:03:30,260
Well city manager or not city manager city attorney. What does that do for the other the other

1297
02:03:31,720 --> 02:03:33,280
Other items there

1298
02:03:35,740 --> 02:03:37,200
It's really a package

1299
02:03:37,720 --> 02:03:40,020
If you don't have a site plan amendment

1300
02:03:40,020 --> 02:03:42,600
that you don't have any of the other considerations

1301
02:03:42,600 --> 02:03:46,580
of the signage, et cetera, but I think

1302
02:03:46,580 --> 02:03:51,340
that you should hear from your planning

1303
02:03:51,340 --> 02:03:54,840
and zoning director with respect to the standard

1304
02:03:54,840 --> 02:03:57,420
before you make this, you take this vote.

1305
02:03:58,420 --> 02:04:01,220
Right, so, okay, that's fine,

1306
02:04:01,340 --> 02:04:03,140
but I just want to make sure we focus on,

1307
02:04:03,300 --> 02:04:06,240
also focus on, shouldn't be tabled,

1308
02:04:06,540 --> 02:04:07,860
I get to vote the table.

1309
02:04:07,860 --> 02:04:11,880
And how does it affect the other four items?

1310
02:04:12,160 --> 02:04:13,420
Yes, you see the package, okay.

1311
02:04:13,840 --> 02:04:14,060
Okay.

1312
02:04:14,140 --> 02:04:16,200
There's no need to address the other four items.

1313
02:04:16,420 --> 02:04:18,920
Unless the land you saw is easy, differently.

1314
02:04:20,340 --> 02:04:27,980
If they were to vote not to table the item on the site plan amendment, would you like to

1315
02:04:27,980 --> 02:04:29,020
continue on?

1316
02:04:29,720 --> 02:04:30,640
And vote a temporary.

1317
02:04:30,900 --> 02:04:31,740
I mean, more temporary.

1318
02:04:32,120 --> 02:04:34,300
And vote on the signage.

1319
02:04:34,300 --> 02:04:35,200
So,

1320
02:04:39,180 --> 02:04:45,240
if the site plan amendment is being tabled, you would want to proceed with the signage?

1321
02:04:45,940 --> 02:04:51,000
No, no, we want to know. I mean, it's present to us right now is a package.

1322
02:04:51,500 --> 02:04:59,200
I didn't want to make the decision for you. I just believe that if you don't have a site plan amendment, you don't care much about the signage.

1323
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:03,820
You do it all at once. We can do it all at once. I have no problem with that.

1324
02:05:06,520 --> 02:05:22,980
Okay. So, but before we vote that the city commission votes on this tabling the item, I think that you have to give from your planning and zoning director about the standard for today. Okay.

1325
02:05:30,740 --> 02:05:38,100
Mr. Mayor and commission, the charge to the planning division is to.

1326
02:05:38,100 --> 02:05:43,700
to here accept applications and review them through the DRC.

1327
02:05:44,600 --> 02:05:49,480
To do that, we look at what is currently in the code in terms of the assessment, and

1328
02:05:49,480 --> 02:05:54,560
that's done by the professionals, all of which I mentioned earlier in my testimony.

1329
02:05:56,290 --> 02:06:06,920
The DRC members make an up of any traffic, any landscape, be it so, fire for safety, plan

1330
02:06:06,920 --> 02:06:08,940
and into make sure we're consistent with the code.

1331
02:06:09,460 --> 02:06:11,960
So all those things are taken into consideration.

1332
02:06:13,140 --> 02:06:16,500
As stated by the attorney, it's a by-right use.

1333
02:06:18,420 --> 02:06:24,260
So we have no restrictions in that process.

1334
02:06:25,580 --> 02:06:31,080
What we do have the ability is to ask for improvements

1335
02:06:31,080 --> 02:06:34,040
to the property as stated by the attorney

1336
02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:36,000
to address, for example, the drainage

1337
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:42,040
to make the property whole, because if it's not whole, then our job is to use code enforcement to make it whole.

1338
02:06:43,260 --> 02:06:48,120
But we want the property to be improved to its site plan form.

1339
02:06:48,780 --> 02:06:52,640
The site plan form that it's currently in now is deficient.

1340
02:06:53,380 --> 02:06:57,840
So they're coming in to make it whole and to make it whole against code.

1341
02:06:57,840 --> 02:07:06,800
So that being said, as it is, staff has reviewed it and presented it to the

1342
02:07:06,800 --> 02:07:13,500
Planning and Zoning Board. And as I stated before, all the disciplines were

1343
02:07:14,820 --> 02:07:20,260
confident and were in approval to allow the application to be heard by boat

1344
02:07:20,260 --> 02:07:26,060
boards for approval. If it were not so, then we would tell you that this

1345
02:07:26,060 --> 02:07:32,500
application cannot proceed and you would state the sections of the code that it's in conflict

1346
02:07:32,500 --> 02:07:39,560
with, but we have no conflicts with or comprehensive plan. It's consistent. It's on the B3 quarters.

1347
02:07:39,740 --> 02:07:48,080
I stated it's intended for the use that it is used for now. And I do understand Mr. Cashmere

1348
02:07:48,080 --> 02:07:55,100
and as we stated we opened it to the community to come and voice their concerns because that's

1349
02:07:55,100 --> 02:08:02,580
the public process to hear concerns and if we can explain to them, but our hands are tied

1350
02:08:02,580 --> 02:08:07,240
as the plan and zoning section because they are by right use.

1351
02:08:15,000 --> 02:08:16,220
You'd have to remember, you'd have

1352
02:08:16,220 --> 02:08:22,380
to be right here, but briefly, if you want to speak, come to the podium real quick.

1353
02:08:30,120 --> 02:08:32,220
Through you,

1354
02:08:32,220 --> 02:08:36,380
This meant team deliver each notice.

1355
02:08:36,940 --> 02:08:41,440
They're also notice for the 300 foot for public record.

1356
02:08:41,600 --> 02:08:45,360
We have to do that because this is a quasi-judicial item.

1357
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:48,700
So we are very conscious, we got them returned.

1358
02:08:49,000 --> 02:08:54,420
And I know Mr. Kashmir explains to us that when presidency male from us, they toss it.

1359
02:08:56,380 --> 02:09:03,340
So we can't do anything about that process because you're talking about the post office,

1360
02:09:03,640 --> 02:09:06,200
the mail, so we don't interfere in that.

1361
02:09:06,560 --> 02:09:12,420
But the notice for the public here in the, we held the workshop that was hand delivered

1362
02:09:12,420 --> 02:09:14,400
to every single property.

1363
02:09:15,400 --> 02:09:21,460
So we have done or due diligence by what's required by our code and we are making sure that

1364
02:09:21,460 --> 02:09:27,360
But we are adhering to it because we are here to protect the city at all costs for notices.

1365
02:09:28,460 --> 02:09:38,180
So I can attest to that portion of it, but Mr. Kashmir is free to speak on any other procedure, Mr. Mayor.

1366
02:09:38,720 --> 02:09:47,740
Okay, it's been moved and second there in giving concerns of what I hear, what we hear.

1367
02:09:50,340 --> 02:09:58,500
related to the auction and is interconnected all the other items that are connected.

1368
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:28,660
We're here with the, with the commissioner that we would table this for community workshop or somehow work try again because as he mentioned, I think we're taking consideration. Just one person is one, but we're lucky to make sure the whole community have an opportunity to decide, decide that. As you're doing some kind of a traffic assessment, basically, and the drainage situation there.

1369
02:10:28,660 --> 02:10:34,200
I know we're not meeting, next meeting is going to be in September.

1370
02:10:34,640 --> 02:10:36,200
Next meeting is September 9th.

1371
02:10:36,260 --> 02:10:45,140
September 9th, so who would be able to, my question was asked, if it's stable right now

1372
02:10:45,140 --> 02:10:51,040
for another meeting with the commission committee, how does that affect the whole process that

1373
02:10:51,040 --> 02:10:52,080
that's what I just want to be clear?

1374
02:10:52,780 --> 02:10:58,260
If we can guarantee that we will have a meeting with the whole committee over this, I don't

1375
02:10:58,260 --> 02:10:59,380
I don't know how we're going to organize that.

1376
02:10:59,780 --> 02:11:02,260
I would like to make sure that if it's not going to hurt that much,

1377
02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:07,100
we've just one more meeting there as Commissioner requested to satisfy that one.

1378
02:11:07,660 --> 02:11:13,000
Mr. May, if I could, if the direction, excuse me, if the direction from the commission

1379
02:11:13,560 --> 02:11:19,080
is to hold a community, you know, a citywide town hall meeting to discuss this,

1380
02:11:19,080 --> 02:11:26,400
we can certainly work with the elected officials and with the representatives

1381
02:11:26,400 --> 02:11:34,360
from auto nation on when they can attend and we can advertise a meeting and put the

1382
02:11:34,360 --> 02:11:38,380
present and auto nation and the city staff can walk through the presentation

1383
02:11:38,380 --> 02:11:44,160
again. Okay this time I mean I just know something if you raise your hand I'm

1384
02:11:44,160 --> 02:11:48,560
just an example raise your hand sometimes you say raise higher if you ask someone

1385
02:11:48,560 --> 02:11:53,280
to raise it a little bit higher the she can raise it higher what I'm asking is the

1386
02:11:53,280 --> 02:12:01,040
The resident there who take it in the commissioner in the city try to do the very best to well advertise it so they can be heard.

1387
02:12:01,540 --> 02:12:14,060
From that one there, nobody shows out where everybody shows out they will be able to find because I think right here in the the resident right now he says many parts of the the not transaction.

1388
02:12:14,320 --> 02:12:21,460
The project is good except for one they want to find out how can work if the community can work it together that's fine.

1389
02:12:21,460 --> 02:12:33,380
So that's what I would recommend that we, we, we can, Mr. Mayor, I would, I would ask if there's, you know, some ideas for some dates because the commission obviously will be on recess.

1390
02:12:33,860 --> 02:12:39,980
And so we, you know, I don't know if you want to wait until September to have a community town hall meeting on it.

1391
02:12:41,520 --> 02:12:49,580
So we can get a consensus right now, if we can wait till that, so we'd rather have it

1392
02:12:49,580 --> 02:12:56,220
on the first week of September or because some of us will be out for August, is that okay?

1393
02:12:56,380 --> 02:13:00,120
Will there affect anything, will there affect anything if we wait until September?

1394
02:13:04,080 --> 02:13:11,080
I don't know if you can do it, we have to just schedule a special meeting in August to

1395
02:13:11,080 --> 02:13:15,320
not necessarily be a town hall, obviously, and just meet with this for a day.

1396
02:13:15,420 --> 02:13:21,580
The idea is to get the community in to make sure they reach, I don't know what format

1397
02:13:21,580 --> 02:13:23,940
may be to some form for them to be aware of the sign.

1398
02:13:24,060 --> 02:13:24,660
We won't do it in August.

1399
02:13:24,980 --> 02:13:30,100
I mean, we'll do, I mean, much like we did, the utility building, town hall meeting.

1400
02:13:30,100 --> 02:13:40,860
We had the last couple of weeks, we sent postcards to every house in North Lauderdale, and we let every house in North Lauderdale know that we were having the meeting, and we put out mobile calls.

1401
02:13:41,800 --> 02:13:50,300
It, again, it will require people to read the postcard that we sent, and it will require people to answer the phone when the mobile call goes up.

1402
02:13:50,420 --> 02:13:52,460
We could do that, and that's not an issue.

1403
02:13:52,460 --> 02:13:58,280
We would need a couple days to design the postcard, and basically all we need is the date

1404
02:13:58,650 --> 02:14:03,820
and the time that is convening for the elected officials and the representatives from

1405
02:14:03,820 --> 02:14:04,360
auto nation.

1406
02:14:04,840 --> 02:14:15,380
Let me ask Mr. Kazemir, yes, in your neighborhood, there would be a place where everybody

1407
02:14:15,380 --> 02:14:18,320
could meet together and invite them in, it's so close or no?

1408
02:14:19,620 --> 02:14:25,360
If the city is not intimidated, I mean if it's an intimidation place for them, is there

1409
02:14:25,360 --> 02:14:30,480
a place where you could take a initiative with the Commissioner and make sure that happens?

1410
02:14:33,540 --> 02:14:33,560
Well,

1411
02:14:38,890 --> 02:14:46,550
it doesn't matter, we're trying to make sure we come to both sides need to benefit the city and the community.

1412
02:14:47,110 --> 02:14:52,190
So we want to make sure one more meeting that can happen there, if it's happened there that's good.

1413
02:14:55,440 --> 02:14:59,220
Okay, so let's conclude that we're going to, uh, we'll read for

1414
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:29,800
First week of September? Correct. Yes. Okay. So one, two, commission it. Yes? Don't know if I'm going to be here. Okay. We would probably have to do it. Mr. Mayor on Tuesday, September 2nd. If we're going to wait that long because we would have to get the agenda item done and out because the commission meeting is on the night. So Tuesday, the second, that would only leave one or two days to get the item back out.

1415
02:15:29,800 --> 02:15:44,000
and re and and re out to the commission. So the latest we could do it would probably be Tuesday the second. Okay, I think we got four. I am not available in the second of September. So I just wanted to see if we could do it on the fourth.

1416
02:15:44,600 --> 02:15:46,000
I'm available on the fourth.

1417
02:15:51,740 --> 02:15:55,880
this is not a meeting of the commission, correct?

1418
02:15:57,520 --> 02:15:59,500
No, not for the commission, no.

1419
02:16:00,420 --> 02:16:02,680
It's really a meeting for the community.

1420
02:16:03,060 --> 02:16:07,220
Commissioners could speak to community members anytime they want individually.

1421
02:16:08,460 --> 02:16:11,580
But with respect to having this meeting,

1422
02:16:12,240 --> 02:16:13,660
if all the commissioners attend,

1423
02:16:13,660 --> 02:16:16,800
and auto-nation attend and what's discussing

1424
02:16:17,380 --> 02:16:18,660
what's gonna be on an agenda

1425
02:16:18,660 --> 02:16:20,140
it would become a commission meeting.

1426
02:16:20,780 --> 02:16:25,820
So it should really be a meeting of if such a meeting

1427
02:16:25,820 --> 02:16:28,060
is to be held by the city,

1428
02:16:28,640 --> 02:16:31,420
it would be a meeting organized by the city manager

1429
02:16:31,820 --> 02:16:34,380
and auto-nation to inform the public.

1430
02:16:34,900 --> 02:16:37,200
The commissioners don't need to be in attendance

1431
02:16:37,200 --> 02:16:38,180
at that meeting.

1432
02:16:38,600 --> 02:16:41,140
They would, if you wanna meet individually

1433
02:16:41,140 --> 02:16:45,660
with members of your community that is fine but otherwise you'll turn it into a

1434
02:16:45,660 --> 02:16:51,100
commission meeting that will need to be noticed and go through all the

1435
02:16:51,100 --> 02:16:56,360
processes that we go through here so maybe just a direction to the city manager

1436
02:16:56,360 --> 02:17:00,560
to arrange for this to take place to get some additional feedback and to

1437
02:17:00,560 --> 02:17:04,480
bring it back to you would be sufficient. This is well said and I appreciate that

1438
02:17:04,480 --> 02:17:08,920
because that didn't realize that for because as a matter of fact I believe if it

1439
02:17:08,920 --> 02:17:14,120
can be done way before that, giving option different dates that we'll work it out, that

1440
02:17:14,120 --> 02:17:18,220
would be good. So, I mean, with the community, you know, I believe that's, if this can

1441
02:17:18,220 --> 02:17:18,900
be done, that's fine.

1442
02:17:19,200 --> 02:17:23,700
Mr. Mayor, we'll work with based on that from the attorney, which is very helpful.

1443
02:17:24,020 --> 02:17:24,200
Yes.

1444
02:17:24,400 --> 02:17:24,900
And appreciative.

1445
02:17:25,180 --> 02:17:29,460
We will work with other nations to come up with some dates for the latter part of August

1446
02:17:29,980 --> 02:17:36,160
and we will advertise it as a meeting for all of North Lauderdale to attend and we will

1447
02:17:36,160 --> 02:17:38,740
We'll advertise it with postcards to all the homes.

1448
02:17:39,200 --> 02:17:41,340
We'll advertise it with the phone call,

1449
02:17:41,780 --> 02:17:44,200
and so we will let the entire community know what we're doing.

1450
02:17:44,460 --> 02:17:46,160
Okay, and then the only thing I would add,

1451
02:17:46,340 --> 02:17:48,140
if we could maybe give an option,

1452
02:17:48,440 --> 02:17:52,740
well, close it to them to be better for them,

1453
02:17:52,740 --> 02:17:54,620
if it's in their own community, if we can.

1454
02:17:55,200 --> 02:17:56,680
Then if it's not, if it's here,

1455
02:17:57,360 --> 02:17:58,820
it's a weird heart to make it happen,

1456
02:17:59,220 --> 02:18:00,020
that's what we're gonna do.

1457
02:18:00,040 --> 02:18:02,000
We may be able to talk to Calvary

1458
02:18:02,000 --> 02:18:03,520
to see if they would let it, I mean,

1459
02:18:03,520 --> 02:18:05,960
I mean, are bicentennial is not big enough?

1460
02:18:06,480 --> 02:18:08,980
So if we can't do it on the Calvary site,

1461
02:18:09,200 --> 02:18:12,640
I'm not sure what other public location is there.

1462
02:18:12,880 --> 02:18:12,980
Okay.

1463
02:18:13,980 --> 02:18:14,580
All right.

1464
02:18:14,980 --> 02:18:15,460
Okay.

1465
02:18:15,600 --> 02:18:17,960
So we'll leave it up for them to work it together.

1466
02:18:18,200 --> 02:18:21,920
Okay, so in any time during the month of August this fine.

1467
02:18:23,440 --> 02:18:26,900
Okay, so it was moved in second again.

1468
02:18:27,700 --> 02:18:29,320
We're just for to be table.

1469
02:18:29,580 --> 02:18:31,960
Table to this September 9th commission meeting

1470
02:18:31,960 --> 02:18:33,420
to do simply yet to item.

1471
02:18:33,740 --> 02:18:37,300
So, Madame Attorney, all five items together, correct?

1472
02:18:37,300 --> 02:18:39,500
So it's a motion to table all five items.

1473
02:18:39,560 --> 02:18:40,220
All five items.

1474
02:18:40,240 --> 02:18:40,380
Okay.

1475
02:18:41,020 --> 02:18:41,140
Okay.

1476
02:18:41,600 --> 02:18:41,780
Okay.

1477
02:18:43,000 --> 02:18:44,980
So, Madame Clerk, please do the roll call.

1478
02:18:45,700 --> 02:18:46,960
Commissioner Dr. Martin?

1479
02:18:47,260 --> 02:18:47,440
Yes.

1480
02:18:47,880 --> 02:18:49,060
Vice Mayor Lewis-Frickett?

1481
02:18:49,500 --> 02:18:49,980
Yes.

1482
02:18:50,440 --> 02:18:51,400
Commissioner Viscimante?

1483
02:18:52,160 --> 02:18:52,400
Yes.

1484
02:18:52,680 --> 02:18:53,380
Commissioner Lewis?

1485
02:18:53,600 --> 02:18:53,720
Yes.

1486
02:18:54,020 --> 02:18:54,560
Mayor Borges.

1487
02:18:54,620 --> 02:18:55,020
So, yes.

1488
02:18:55,180 --> 02:18:55,500
Thank you.

1489
02:18:56,020 --> 02:18:56,700
Thank you.

1490
02:18:56,940 --> 02:18:57,220
Okay.

1491
02:18:57,620 --> 02:18:59,420
Thank you for all for participating.

1492
02:18:59,980 --> 02:19:00,340
Thank you.

1493
02:19:00,340 --> 02:19:11,860
is 822 that takes us to put a record, 9B, 9C, 9D,

1494
02:19:15,460 --> 02:19:15,980
and E,

1495
02:19:18,960 --> 02:19:20,160
and 9F

1496
02:19:23,110 --> 02:19:26,030
for the meeting in September,

1497
02:19:26,930 --> 02:19:29,970
City of Madrigan, September and Tuesday, September 9th.

1498
02:19:29,970 --> 02:19:39,230
Okay, that takes us to item 10 or is an ordinance basically in letter maternity you have the

1499
02:19:39,230 --> 02:19:42,190
well reading the motion second well just go ahead my

1500
02:19:42,190 --> 02:19:47,510
second and final reading of an ordinance of the city commission of the city of North Florida

1501
02:19:47,510 --> 02:19:53,550
deal Florida establishing the annual base salary and benefits for the mayor and city commissioners

1502
02:19:53,550 --> 02:19:59,110
There's no one to the charter amendment approved by voters on November, in November 2024.

1503
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:11,820
Providing for voluntary opt out provisions and public disclosure, providing for implementation, providing for conflict, severability, codification, and an effective date.

1504
02:20:13,910 --> 02:20:31,450
Okay. I'm going to be presented by who? Mr. Mayor, I will do the presentations for all the rest of the item. So thank you. Good evening, Mr. Mayor, members of the commission. So item 10A is as the city attorney read in ordinance, second reading. That would increase the elected official.

1505
02:20:32,870 --> 02:20:42,430
And this is as a result of the charter change that was approved by the residents during the presidential election in November of 2024.

1506
02:20:43,450 --> 02:20:46,130
The change would set new compensation for elected officials.

1507
02:20:47,350 --> 02:20:57,270
And so it also would provide additional funding for carl ounces and for a cell phone stipend.

1508
02:20:57,270 --> 02:21:06,950
If the elected officials have no city-issued cell phone, the Commission approved this item on the June 10, 2025 Commission meeting.

1509
02:21:07,550 --> 02:21:12,870
This item was properly advertised for the second reading, so it's for consideration by the Commission today.

1510
02:21:15,660 --> 02:21:24,200
Okay. This item is open to the public for hearing. Anybody want to discuss the comments?

1511
02:21:24,200 --> 02:21:26,500
if you'll feel free to come to the podium.

1512
02:21:35,340 --> 02:21:38,580
Carol Shane, 6480 Southwest 8th Street,

1513
02:21:39,740 --> 02:21:41,240
Mr. Mayor and commissioners.

1514
02:21:41,760 --> 02:21:44,160
I spoke about this back in January

1515
02:21:44,160 --> 02:21:46,600
when this first came around, and unfortunately,

1516
02:21:46,880 --> 02:21:49,440
I didn't realize that you had a meeting in June about it.

1517
02:21:50,300 --> 02:21:54,080
My main question is, where is this money coming from?

1518
02:21:55,340 --> 02:21:59,060
These are, the 5% cap that we removed

1519
02:21:59,060 --> 02:22:01,420
that the voters did vote for, which I'm all for.

1520
02:22:01,420 --> 02:22:07,620
I think you deserve raises, but it turns out to be 116 percent that you're getting.

1521
02:22:08,100 --> 02:22:11,700
You're going from 15,000 to 57,000.

1522
02:22:12,260 --> 02:22:13,860
Where's the money coming from?

1523
02:22:14,020 --> 02:22:20,060
What programs are being disbanded or not being funded because of these huge increases?

1524
02:22:21,320 --> 02:22:28,440
That's my main concern is, you know, we all voted for it, but I don't think anybody voted

1525
02:22:28,440 --> 02:22:34,920
for 100% raise. And I just want to know where the money is coming from our taxes being raised.

1526
02:22:35,660 --> 02:22:39,720
Are we? Do we have some sort of revenue coming in that nobody knows about?

1527
02:22:40,940 --> 02:22:43,560
Where's the money coming from? That's what I want to know.

1528
02:22:44,760 --> 02:22:48,260
Thank you. Any other comments here?

1529
02:22:50,580 --> 02:22:53,680
Okay, have a none. We need a motion second to approve, please.

1530
02:22:56,600 --> 02:22:58,760
Motion to approve. Second.

1531
02:22:58,760 --> 02:23:05,280
Okay. It's open for discussion for the commission and you notice there's one

1532
02:23:05,280 --> 02:23:07,180
commission that's not here at this point.

1533
02:23:09,770 --> 02:23:13,470
Sorry. We should wait for him. Okay we'll wait.

1534
02:23:25,800 --> 02:23:26,280
One

1535
02:23:27,200 --> 02:23:39,810
portion of this this ordinance is what we'll basically we have a amendment and

1536
02:23:55,460 --> 02:24:09,520
I just want to add the up top, I'm sorry, I must have had it somewhere, the up top option there, right now we just, there's no amendment as we discussed.

1537
02:24:11,200 --> 02:24:13,340
It's read as it was presented the first time.

1538
02:24:15,550 --> 02:24:20,690
We just adding the up top to this, yes.

1539
02:24:20,690 --> 02:24:20,830
Yes.

1540
02:24:22,090 --> 02:24:24,290
So we need to vote on this first, correct,

1541
02:24:27,520 --> 02:24:28,160
on our mandate.

1542
02:24:30,650 --> 02:24:35,690
Yes, there is a change.

1543
02:24:36,370 --> 02:24:36,530
Yes.

1544
02:24:40,260 --> 02:24:40,780
Point out.

1545
02:24:52,890 --> 02:24:56,690
Yes, the way we were presented was amended, I mean, to the original.

1546
02:24:56,690 --> 02:24:56,830
Hello.

1547
02:25:04,980 --> 02:25:06,040
In it,

1548
02:25:09,060 --> 02:25:17,180
right. What has happened since the last reading is that

1549
02:25:20,030 --> 02:25:23,050
you had wanted to make an amendment.

1550
02:25:26,770 --> 02:25:32,610
Which is, I will read it to you and maybe you can read it back as a policy amendment.

1551
02:25:33,530 --> 02:25:43,650
What you had indicated, you wanted to move to amend that the commissioners, to amend

1552
02:25:43,650 --> 02:25:52,190
the ordinance so that the commissioners can opt out of receiving their additional

1553
02:25:52,190 --> 02:26:01,250
compensation and to give it to the city for donation to a natural profit, for their choice

1554
02:26:01,250 --> 02:26:04,050
or not for profit. That's the option.

1555
02:26:04,610 --> 02:26:04,710
Right.

1556
02:26:05,090 --> 02:26:07,390
In addition to the way it was read before,

1557
02:26:08,170 --> 02:26:10,450
you wanted to add that amendment.

1558
02:26:10,830 --> 02:26:15,710
So if you can just move to amend the ordinance.

1559
02:26:16,270 --> 02:26:20,510
Yes. So first move to amend the ordinance

1560
02:26:20,510 --> 02:26:23,150
and then move on.

1561
02:26:23,990 --> 02:26:24,030
Okay.

1562
02:26:24,550 --> 02:26:27,330
I think the first step would be to vote on the ordinance as it was.

1563
02:26:27,890 --> 02:26:28,370
Okay.

1564
02:26:28,690 --> 02:26:34,150
To vote on the ordinance as it was, and then you'll move to amend, then afterwards you

1565
02:26:34,150 --> 02:26:34,290
could.

1566
02:26:34,870 --> 02:26:35,550
Clear now.

1567
02:26:35,550 --> 02:26:35,970
Clear now.

1568

1580
02:27:35,610 --> 02:27:44,190
voluntary up to provision there okay yes do you need to some explanation because I can I can

1581
02:27:44,190 --> 02:27:49,870
read what it wasn't your proposal right I can give a little bit more that's fine okay it was a move

1582
02:27:49,870 --> 02:27:55,590
to amend the ordinance will include that any commissioner who does not wish to accept the salary or

1583
02:27:55,590 --> 02:28:03,990
benefits outlined in here would have to submit a notice to the city clerk within 30 days of the effective date.

1584
02:28:05,070 --> 02:28:18,650
Such members shall declare in a regular public meeting how they wish to redirect or decline their compensation to donate it to a natural profit, which is basically what would happen.

1585
02:28:18,650 --> 02:28:20,670
and everybody would get an increase,

1586
02:28:20,990 --> 02:28:23,390
but the person who doesn't wish to receive the increase

1587
02:28:23,390 --> 02:28:27,630
would then in a public meeting would advise the city clerk

1588
02:28:27,630 --> 02:28:29,030
and then in a public meeting,

1589
02:28:29,030 --> 02:28:31,450
declare that that increase in compensation

1590
02:28:31,450 --> 02:28:34,710
should be directed to a not-for-profit.

1591
02:28:38,080 --> 02:28:43,020
Okay, so at this point, what?

1592
02:28:43,040 --> 02:28:45,140
As a motion to amend that you wish to make.

1593
02:28:45,640 --> 02:28:45,780
Right.

1594
02:28:48,140 --> 02:28:51,000
So you can decide whether you want to consider it made.

1595
02:28:51,220 --> 02:28:51,620
I read it.

1596
02:28:51,620 --> 02:28:57,820
Yes, I just want to expand on that one there, for we respect everybody's point of view.

1597
02:28:58,500 --> 02:29:04,160
Your choice, we respect that, and you already give some of your reason for it, except enough.

1598
02:29:04,700 --> 02:29:11,800
But we try to make it easy in a way that, as we just read, any commissioner wishes to opt out,

1599
02:29:12,140 --> 02:29:18,210
the ordinance will provide, we'll provide up 30 days after the effective day,

1600
02:29:18,210 --> 02:29:26,070
but it must be, you must state exactly how you want to redirect the fund, preferably

1601
02:29:26,070 --> 02:29:33,690
to a local nonprofit registered with the city, or how you want to return to the city,

1602
02:29:33,870 --> 02:29:36,730
however you want it to, they have to be specific.

1603
02:29:39,370 --> 02:29:46,310
But if you decide to change your mind, it's going to have to come back before the commission

1604
02:29:46,310 --> 02:29:52,650
again to be presented to justify the reason why or how you're gonna do it. Nobody's gonna be forced.

1605
02:29:53,910 --> 02:29:58,950
And there's no way someone technically as a resident mentioned that someone come back and sit behind

1606
02:29:58,950 --> 02:29:59,970
that you want to

1607
02:30:00,960 --> 02:30:02,360
So we'll go very clear.

1608
02:30:04,580 --> 02:30:24,860
So you're just going to avoid confusion and interest transparency. With our resident, if no direction is giving, the funds will not be disperse until your intent is clarified. And if necessary, brought back full commission approval. And that's the clarification we want to make sure is there.

1609
02:30:27,170 --> 02:30:31,550
So with that said, we'd like to enter to the motion.

1610
02:30:31,550 --> 02:30:38,180
Motion there for the opt-out, voluntary opt-out provision.

1611
02:30:40,710 --> 02:30:42,950

passed. All right. Is there something you want to add more? No. Not yet. Okay. No, it's

1728
02:39:20,920 --> 02:39:26,960
already passed. It was on it was on the concept agenda altogether.

1729
02:39:29,910 --> 02:39:32,450
You understand? Okay. Good.

1730
02:39:32,450 --> 02:39:33,810
So no problem, that's fine.

1731
02:39:35,450 --> 02:39:40,150
Now it takes us to item 12, new business you can manage it.

1732
02:39:41,230 --> 02:39:43,710
Mr. Mayor, there is no new business on this agenda.

1733
02:39:44,050 --> 02:39:45,330
Any old business number 13?

1734
02:39:45,510 --> 02:39:46,330
Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor.

1735
02:39:46,650 --> 02:39:52,630
So as directed and as we've been doing for the last few months now,

1736
02:39:53,090 --> 02:39:57,330
at all, commission meetings, all the public discussion or public comments,

1737
02:39:57,890 --> 02:39:59,670
we provide a written report.

1738
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:29,660
That goes on to the agenda and stays as part of the record. So, at the meeting on July 8th, there were six speakers. All six speakers spoke on the same topic. And they spoke expressing support for the construction regulation football field for the youth football program, as well as other potential programs. Some suggested artificial turf. They said that the current field does not meet

1739
02:40:29,660 --> 02:40:31,760
the regulation standards for games.

1740
02:40:32,760 --> 02:40:38,020
So as we have shared with the commission, and as there's an item on the agenda later,

1741
02:40:38,620 --> 02:40:40,080
the city does not own the property.

1742
02:40:40,300 --> 02:40:42,220
It is the property of the prior county school board.

1743
02:40:42,800 --> 02:40:45,080
So I reached out to the school board.

1744
02:40:45,080 --> 02:40:51,060
We're trying to set meetings to see if they would be willing to donate the property to the city or

1745
02:40:51,060 --> 02:40:56,040
do something long-term, but guarantees that if the city were to invest millions of dollars,

1746
02:40:56,040 --> 02:41:00,980
that there would be some payback clause if the school board decided to take

1747
02:41:00,980 --> 02:41:07,040
the facility and their property and do something else with it. Additionally the

1748
02:41:07,040 --> 02:41:14,700
Parks and Recreation will be reaching out to a consultant to get some a sketch to

1749
02:41:14,700 --> 02:41:21,280
see if there's an option to to building a field on that and sorry just I love

1750
02:41:21,280 --> 02:41:28,100
in those years. We don't, I'm not sure anyone of us had, it was omitted there. We didn't

1751
02:41:28,100 --> 02:41:32,960
have the map, but that's fine. We don't have it. We don't have, I don't think so. None of

1752
02:41:32,960 --> 02:41:38,480
us have it. And I didn't realize that. But that's okay. We'll leave ML talk tomorrow.

1753
02:41:38,840 --> 02:41:45,120
It was a regular report. No, that's fine. And so we will continue to work on, so I'll

1754
02:41:45,120 --> 02:41:48,420
work with them on the school board and we'll have the mayor of all of this conversations

1755
02:41:48,420 --> 02:42:08,760
when they set a meeting for us, and then our parks and recreation is looking and working with the vendor to see if you could fit a field on that property, and what else would need to be done to it and we will report back to the commission in approximately 90 days, hopefully sooner, but some of that will depend on the school board.

1756
02:42:08,760 --> 02:42:19,340
Under commission comments, there weren't a lot of comments either, the vice mayor requested permission to close 8 South West 84th Avenue for the Burnham Woods game night.

1757
02:42:19,540 --> 02:42:23,800
There was no issues to commission approved that event has come and gone and there were no issues.

1758
02:42:25,660 --> 02:42:37,700
Commissioner Dr. Martin reminded everybody about their upcoming backpack giveaway and that was very well attended and Commissioner Lewis also reminded everyone of that and

1759
02:42:37,700 --> 02:42:41,080
also stated that he would be meeting with the community government director regarding

1760
02:42:41,080 --> 02:42:46,980
the alleys on the CVU, so we're out of Commissioner Bruce Demonte asked for a time frame to install

1761
02:42:46,980 --> 02:42:52,440
the new roadway sign entry sign that was damaged in a car accident.

1762
02:42:53,140 --> 02:42:57,940
As we shared in a separate written report to the commissioner but public works is working

1763
02:42:58,600 --> 02:43:06,320
with the original designer and manufacturer of the welcome signs to get a price and to get

1764
02:43:06,320 --> 02:43:12,320
completion date and as soon as we get a completion and install date we'll share it with the commission with all and the commission.

1765
02:43:12,800 --> 02:43:17,480
We were asked about the timeline for the mural on the sculpture for Southwest 17th Street.

1766
02:43:18,640 --> 02:43:25,800
The work began on Monday June 21st. It was concluded and ended on Friday and so it's really a very nice looking memorial.

1767
02:43:26,220 --> 02:43:30,560
So our mural and so we invite everyone to come out and look at it.

1768
02:43:30,560 --> 02:43:43,180
we will be putting some community development, we'll be looking at that, they will work potentially to put some landscape around it and some solar lighting on it so it shows off at night.

1769
02:43:44,500 --> 02:43:56,960
Commissioner also requested a time frame for the city palm tree logo and a welcome message on the roadway walls from Southwest 68th Street on to McNebron.

1770
02:43:56,960 --> 02:44:06,560
I've asked Public Works to look at all of the roadway and all those areas in the city because if we do want everyone else is going to say what about us.

1771
02:44:07,140 --> 02:44:12,880
So we will, Public Works will get a price and we will do all of them as one large, one bigger project.

1772
02:44:13,260 --> 02:44:17,060
There are about half a dozen locations that would have to be done so.

1773
02:44:17,060 --> 02:44:23,900
And then the mayor, thank everybody for attending the agenda workshops.

1774
02:44:24,780 --> 02:44:29,040
And then announced that starting in September, the meetings will be live streamed.

1775
02:44:29,040 --> 02:44:30,640
And they will be live streamed from the chambers.

1776
02:44:31,420 --> 02:44:34,560
And then also request the report on all projects by district.

1777
02:44:35,140 --> 02:44:42,600
And that will be provided at the, will be one of the workshop items for the September 9th commission meeting.

1778
02:44:42,600 --> 02:44:49,080
The report was done, but after the request to do it by district ready to go back and revise that report a little bit.

1779
02:44:49,300 --> 02:44:55,600
So if we will do that over break and it'll be done early and we will have it on that meeting.

1780
02:44:55,880 --> 02:44:59,760
So Mr. Mayor, that is the end of that report. We will have a new report.

1781
02:45:00,050 --> 02:45:07,170
With the, you know, eight or nine comments that we add from this meeting. At the next meeting. Thank you. Thank you.

1782
02:45:32,010 --> 02:45:44,320
item to take care of. We're going to item 14 of the business and this is a resolution.

1783
02:45:46,010 --> 02:45:51,910
Okay. My name is Tony. Please. You can read the resolution of the city commission of the city of North Florida deal Florida.

1784
02:45:52,390 --> 02:46:01,010
Adapting a tentative milled rate of 7.4 0000. A general operating budget purposes for fiscal year 2025.

1785
02:46:01,010 --> 02:46:18,970
25, 2026, providing for the establishment of and setting for the date, time, and place of the first public hearing to formally adopt the fiscal year, 2025, 2026, milled rate, providing for conflicts, providing for several ability and providing for an effective date.

1786
02:46:22,890 --> 02:46:25,590
Thank you, Mr. Mayor, members of the commission.

1787
02:46:26,490 --> 02:46:31,650
So item 14A is setting the maximum military.

1788
02:46:32,510 --> 02:46:40,770
And so by state law, we are required to set a maximum military before the end of August.

1789
02:46:41,390 --> 02:46:45,170
So that the trim notices can be met out to all the residents.

1790
02:46:45,170 --> 02:46:51,750
What we're asking today is, as you heard through the very detailed presentation that our

1791
02:46:51,750 --> 02:46:57,670
budget manager made, we are looking to maintain the same millage rate as we have for

1792
02:46:57,670 --> 02:47:01,230
the last nine years at 7.4 mills.

1793
02:47:01,790 --> 02:47:05,430
So again, that would remain unchanged for the ninth consecutive year.

1794
02:47:06,790 --> 02:47:14,670
This rate balances stable taxation with rising costs for essential services like police

1795
02:47:14,670 --> 02:47:26,730
fire and infrastructure, under Florida's trim law, the tentative millage rate and first public hearing dates must be submitted to the county property appraiser for inclusion in the August trim notice.

1796
02:47:27,190 --> 02:47:33,490
So the City Commission will send a tentative rate in July, which becomes the maximum rate for September's hearings.

1797
02:47:33,930 --> 02:47:40,690
You can always lower it in September should you wish, but it needs to be set today as the maximum.

1798
02:47:40,690 --> 02:48:03,730
The first public hearing is scheduled for September 12th, 2025, at 501 p.m., that is a Friday and just for everyone listening and everyone in the audience, we are required by state law to have our meetings so many days apart, so many days and they can't conflict with school board meetings, health district meetings and a whole slew of other meetings.

1799
02:48:03,730 --> 02:48:13,750
And so really, our only options this year for the first reading are Friday, September 12th, Saturday, the 13th, or Sunday, the 14th.

1800
02:48:14,090 --> 02:48:17,290
So we've opted to do it on Friday, September 12th.

1801
02:48:17,790 --> 02:48:24,790
The budget hearing will be, or the workshop will be in at 1 p.m., and then the commission will have the budget and

1802
02:48:25,470 --> 02:48:29,070
the assessments starting at 501 on that Friday.

1803
02:48:29,070 --> 02:48:36,230
So Mr. Mayor, that concludes the report on the sending the agenda item for ten of the

1804
02:48:36,230 --> 02:48:36,430
donors.

1805
02:48:36,890 --> 02:48:37,590
Thank you.

1806
02:48:38,110 --> 02:48:38,490
Okay.

1807
02:48:38,790 --> 02:48:43,450
It takes us to next item, I'm sorry.

1808
02:48:46,810 --> 02:48:48,310
It's open to the public for comments.

1809
02:48:50,490 --> 02:48:50,910
Have a none.

1810
02:48:51,330 --> 02:48:52,570
We need a motion second to approve.

1811
02:48:53,030 --> 02:48:53,790
Motion to approve?

1812
02:48:54,310 --> 02:48:54,430
Second.

1813
02:48:54,970 --> 02:48:55,570
Any comment?

1814
02:48:55,950 --> 02:48:57,130
Any discussion?

1815
02:48:57,130 --> 02:48:59,530
motion. Madam Clerk, the roll call.

1816
02:49:00,330 --> 02:49:01,450
Commissioner Dr. Martin.

1817
02:49:02,370 --> 02:49:02,670
Yes.

1818
02:49:03,030 --> 02:49:04,190
Vice Mayor Lewis Ricketts.

1819
02:49:04,270 --> 02:49:04,450
Yes.

1820
02:49:04,870 --> 02:49:05,750
Commissioner Mr. Monte.

1821
02:49:06,050 --> 02:49:06,210
Yes.

1822
02:49:06,470 --> 02:49:07,110
Commissioner Lewis.

1823
02:49:07,370 --> 02:49:07,550
Yes.

1824
02:49:07,950 --> 02:49:08,450
Mayor Bordeaux.

1825
02:49:08,590 --> 02:49:08,830
Yes.

1826
02:49:11,650 --> 02:49:12,850
Item 14B.

1827
02:49:13,450 --> 02:49:14,370
Madam Attorney.

1828
02:49:15,030 --> 02:49:17,670
A resolution of the City Commission of the City of North Florida.

1829
02:49:18,530 --> 02:49:21,770
Repealing Resolution 24-09-1519.

1830
02:49:21,770 --> 02:49:26,070
which resolution did adopt the City of North Florida jail comprehensive

1831
02:49:26,070 --> 02:49:32,550
state and classification plan for fiscal year 2026 as amended from time to time and

1832
02:49:32,930 --> 02:49:38,230
hereby establishing and adopting a revised paying classification plan for fiscal year

1833
02:49:38,230 --> 02:49:44,270
2026 commencing on October 1, 2025 providing for the establishment of new

1834
02:49:44,270 --> 02:49:48,150
classifications providing for conflict and providing for an effective date.

1835
02:49:51,890 --> 02:49:54,290
Thank you, Mr. Mayor, members of the commission.

1836
02:49:55,010 --> 02:49:59,870
So as the city attorney read, the pay plan is something that is done every year in this

1837
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:29,980
It is how employees get pay raises and it's how we issue and how benefits are changed through the process. So this year, we are submitting the pay plan that affects most of the employees. It doesn't affect the salaries for the Metro Broward Professional Firefighters, as is covered by their contract. And also their retirement is also covered separately through the Florida Retirement System.

1838
02:50:29,980 --> 02:50:33,140
the rest of the employees are on a 401 or 457.

1839
02:50:34,000 --> 02:50:39,700
The plan promotes internal equity and market competitiveness while ensuring fiscal responsibility.

1840
02:50:40,600 --> 02:50:48,240
So this year we are recommending for the employees that all employees receive a 5% base salary increase.

1841
02:50:48,780 --> 02:50:52,660
For all general fund and management employees' effect of October 1st, 2025.

1842
02:50:53,540 --> 02:50:58,220
FPE, as we discussed yesterday, FPE is going through their negotiations still.

1843
02:50:58,220 --> 02:51:05,380
their increases will not be less than 5% however based on whatever final outcome is there may be a slight

1844
02:51:05,380 --> 02:51:10,920
difference but the commission will deal with that through approval of their contract. And the Metro

1845
02:51:10,920 --> 02:51:17,360
Guard Professional Firefighters will receive the contractual step increases that are outlined in

1846
02:51:17,360 --> 02:51:25,020
their contract. A $500 we are recommending a $500 flexible spending account card be provided to all full

1847
02:51:25,020 --> 02:51:30,160
time employees on the city insurance. We are recommending that as the commission knows,

1848
02:51:30,480 --> 02:51:36,740
when we did a survey, there were some employees that felt that the deductibles in our insurance

1849
02:51:36,740 --> 02:51:43,240
are a little bit high. We did look at plans where we would have a lower deductible and a higher payment

1850
02:51:43,240 --> 02:51:50,500
and the cost did not balance out in favor of the employees. So we recommended this. This does keep in

1851
02:51:50,500 --> 02:51:56,320
with the commission's desire to make sure that the employees are well cared for and well taken care of.

1852
02:51:58,160 --> 02:52:03,700
Additionally, we are recommending the following new positions be included in this year's budget,

1853
02:52:04,160 --> 02:52:05,720
and they are in the balanced budget.

1854
02:52:05,840 --> 02:52:07,260
The first one is a budget manager.

1855
02:52:08,340 --> 02:52:12,000
The second one is the utility administrative coordinator.

1856
02:52:12,000 --> 02:52:20,240
There will be a part-time HR generalist will be added, and there will be an IT-AV support

1857
02:52:20,240 --> 02:52:20,740
analyst.

1858
02:52:21,260 --> 02:52:23,620
And there will also be a special events manager.

1859
02:52:24,260 --> 02:52:29,960
Additionally, as part of the fire contract this year, the firefighters that were receiving

1860
02:52:31,500 --> 02:52:38,160
the stipend to be fire inspectors, that stipend goes away by contract, and we will be hiring

1861
02:52:38,160 --> 02:52:44,760
a part-time fire inspector, which is a part-time position, and that position will be paid for from

1862
02:52:44,760 --> 02:52:49,980
the savings from the stipends that the firefighters will no longer receive. So there'll be no additional

1863
02:52:49,980 --> 02:52:55,840
costs for the firefighters. I'm happy to say this year that no positions are being recommended for

1864
02:52:55,840 --> 02:53:02,220
elimination. Promotions or demotion guidelines will remain the same. Anybody that receives a promotion

1865
02:53:02,220 --> 02:53:08,680
will receive a 10% increase, and unfortunately, if there are any demotions, it would be a 10% decrease.

1866
02:53:09,680 --> 02:53:18,780
And something additional we're doing this year, all permanent part-time employees will receive the same 5% increase that the full-time employees will save.

1867
02:53:19,360 --> 02:53:24,240
All benefits will remain largely the same with the city absorbing the slight health insurance increase.

1868
02:53:24,240 --> 02:53:42,520
Again, Mr. Mayor, this plan reflects this state's minimum wage adjustments and it does again meet the commission's desire to make sure that the employees are taken care of and will pay for the work they do.

1869
02:53:43,060 --> 02:53:43,760
Thank you.

1870
02:53:44,060 --> 02:53:44,900
Thank you very much.

1871
02:53:44,900 --> 02:53:51,860
Okay. All right. This item is open to for the public. Any comments?

1872
02:53:53,020 --> 02:53:55,040
Have a none we need a motion second to focus.

1873
02:53:56,060 --> 02:53:56,860
Most of them.

1874
02:53:57,860 --> 02:53:59,400
Second. Madam Clerk.

1875
02:54:01,560 --> 02:54:03,200
Commissioner Dr. Martin. Yes.

1876
02:54:03,600 --> 02:54:04,940
Vice Mayor Lewis Brickett. Yes.

1877
02:54:05,240 --> 02:54:06,480
Commissioner Bruce de Montaig. Yes.

1878
02:54:06,880 --> 02:54:08,240
Commissioner Lewis. Yes.

1879
02:54:08,480 --> 02:54:09,480
Mayor Bordellan. Yes.

1880
02:54:10,520 --> 02:54:14,060
Takes to us to a item 14C. Madam Attorney.

1881
02:54:14,060 --> 02:54:39,420
A resolution of the City Commission of the City of North Florida deal Florida authorizing the city manager of his designee to proceed with the renewal contract by and between the city of North Florida deal and the Florida League of cities for employee group and trans benefits as outlined in section one of this resolution for fiscal year 2025, 2026 providing for conflicts, providing for severability and providing for an effective date.

1882
02:54:43,970 --> 02:54:45,510
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

1883
02:54:46,730 --> 02:54:48,730
Get even Mr. Mayor, members of the commission.

1884
02:54:49,150 --> 02:54:57,330
So this item is renewing the city's health insurance for the new fiscal year, which will take place starting October 1st.

1885
02:54:57,410 --> 02:54:59,790
The current policy expires on September 30th.

1886
02:55:00,000 --> 02:55:27,640
Our policy is a yearly policy, so this comes before the commission every year. The city currently has health insurance through United Health Care and through Delta Dental for dental insurance. We contract our insurance through the Florida League of Cities. The reason why we contract through the Florida League of Cities is because we're one, you know, we're 150 employees out of 80 or 90,000 employees that they're getting insurance rates on.

1887
02:55:27,640 --> 02:55:30,220
as opposed to if we were going out on our own.

1888
02:55:30,680 --> 02:55:34,840
The really good news is that we are seeing a,

1889
02:55:35,300 --> 02:55:38,180
we have a 76% loss ratio,

1890
02:55:38,500 --> 02:55:40,540
and in insurance terms,

1891
02:55:40,640 --> 02:55:41,880
they always tell you what you're losing,

1892
02:55:42,440 --> 02:55:43,520
or what they're losing,

1893
02:55:43,680 --> 02:55:46,720
but that means they're making 24% profit on us.

1894
02:55:46,880 --> 02:55:49,540
And so we're really one percentage point away

1895
02:55:49,540 --> 02:55:53,140
from probably not getting a health,

1896
02:55:53,440 --> 02:55:55,100
or getting an increase for health insurance.

1897
02:55:55,100 --> 02:55:58,940
You suppose to be 75% or less, so we're right there.

1898
02:55:59,800 --> 02:56:03,520
But we are seeing an 8.8% increase in our health insurance.

1899
02:56:04,120 --> 02:56:06,520
The really good news is, as we discussed yesterday,

1900
02:56:06,760 --> 02:56:09,900
we budgeted 10% in the budget that you received.

1901
02:56:10,280 --> 02:56:15,360
So we are 1.2% under, so there will be a savings to the budget for that.

1902
02:56:15,800 --> 02:56:19,560
The only other thing that we're recommending, and historically, the commission has done this,

1903
02:56:20,000 --> 02:56:24,400
when we get these minor increases, the city pays 85% of the insurance,

1904
02:56:24,400 --> 02:56:39,100
the employee pays 15, so what we're recommending is following the longstanding tradition of this commission and all the commissions where the city would absorb the minor increase and the employees would not see an increase to their health insurance.

1905
02:56:39,640 --> 02:56:46,420
Again, it follows the vision of making sure that the employees are cared for and it is well within the budget that we've allocated.

1906
02:56:46,420 --> 02:56:59,580
All right. Thank you. Yeah, it was, we were notified that Commissioner Martin wouldn't be at nine o'clock. So thank you very much. Okay.

1907
02:57:00,140 --> 02:57:10,960
For the record. This item is open to the public for any comments. Any hearing? Have a none. We need a most second to please.

1908
02:57:10,960 --> 02:57:11,160
Please.

1909
02:57:12,280 --> 02:57:14,320
Most to prove any discussion.

1910
02:57:15,020 --> 02:57:15,280
Go ahead.

1911
02:57:15,740 --> 02:57:16,400
We need a second.

1912
02:57:16,980 --> 02:57:17,520
Any discussion?

1913
02:57:17,940 --> 02:57:18,300
Comments?

1914
02:57:19,120 --> 02:57:19,480
Have a none.

1915
02:57:19,620 --> 02:57:20,740
Madam Clerk, they'll roll cookies.

1916
02:57:24,070 --> 02:57:25,390
Vice Mayor Lewis-Rickett?

1917
02:57:26,130 --> 02:57:26,730
Yes.

1918
02:57:27,470 --> 02:57:28,610
Commissioner Bruce-Demontek?

1919
02:57:28,910 --> 02:57:29,050
Yes.

1920
02:57:29,250 --> 02:57:29,970
Commissioner Lewis?

1921
02:57:30,130 --> 02:57:30,290
Yes.

1922
02:57:30,550 --> 02:57:31,130
Mayor Bortland?

1923
02:57:31,430 --> 02:57:31,690
Yes.

1924
02:57:33,310 --> 02:57:33,910
Pass.

1925
02:57:34,690 --> 02:57:37,090
Item 14D.

1926
02:57:37,450 --> 02:57:38,710
Madam Attorney?

1927
02:57:39,550 --> 02:57:41,090
The resolution of the city commission

1928
02:57:41,090 --> 02:57:42,310
of the city of North Florida,

1929
02:57:42,310 --> 02:57:48,690
Florida, authorizing the city manager or the issue of formal notice of termination to

1930
02:57:48,690 --> 02:57:55,410
Riverside Plaza, regarding the city's lease bay located at 9.57 Rock Island Road, commonly

1931
02:57:55,410 --> 02:57:57,430
referred to as a Riverside location.

1932
02:57:58,410 --> 02:58:04,570
Due to persistent and unresolved environmental hazards that have rendered the facility unusable

1933
02:58:04,570 --> 02:58:10,870
since December 2024, providing for an effective termination date of no later than August 30th,

1934
02:58:11,690 --> 02:58:16,910
2025 providing for conflicts, providing for severability and providing one effective date.

1935
02:58:18,570 --> 02:58:18,990
Okay.

1936
02:58:19,250 --> 02:58:20,050
City Attorney.

1937
02:58:20,610 --> 02:58:21,670
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

1938
02:58:22,170 --> 02:58:22,490
Come on.

1939
02:58:23,010 --> 02:58:23,490
I'm searching.

1940
02:58:23,490 --> 02:58:24,230
I was searching.

1941
02:58:24,490 --> 02:58:24,970
I'm searching.

1942
02:58:25,550 --> 02:58:26,030
I'm searching.

1943
02:58:26,170 --> 02:58:26,770
I'm searching.

1944
02:58:26,890 --> 02:58:27,010
I'm searching.

1945
02:58:27,010 --> 02:58:28,750
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

1946
02:58:28,930 --> 02:58:30,610
I'm meeting next close to the City Attorney.

1947
02:58:30,730 --> 02:58:31,170
That's what I mean.

1948
02:58:31,430 --> 02:58:31,610
Okay.

1949
02:58:32,110 --> 02:58:32,470
Thank you.

1950
02:58:32,690 --> 02:58:34,450
Mr. Mayor, members of the commission.

1951
02:58:34,850 --> 02:58:39,450
So, this is not an easy recommendation that we are making.

1952
02:58:39,450 --> 02:58:57,510
But as the commission is aware, we're seeking approval to terminate the lease for the Riverside location, large Bay, due to persistent mold and asbestos contamination that has rendered the space unusable since at least December of 2024.

1953
02:58:58,230 --> 02:59:04,850
As the commission knows, we entered into the agreement in December of 2023, the first few months.

1954
02:59:07,170 --> 02:59:14,090
We did not move in while we were trying to get approval for some renovations in September

1955
02:59:14,090 --> 02:59:16,970
the Commission authorized us to begin the process to move in.

1956
02:59:17,830 --> 02:59:25,470
And so in some of the early stages of removing carpet and so on, we discovered mold.

1957
02:59:26,270 --> 02:59:31,050
And so Riverside began the process of trying to remediate it.

1958
02:59:31,650 --> 02:59:41,290
But to date, the facility is still unusable, and so due to the unsafe conditions, this

1959
02:59:41,290 --> 02:59:46,130
is caused a trickle down of operational disruptions.

1960
02:59:46,630 --> 02:59:51,270
We have not been able to move the code enforcement division out, which was the original intention

1961
02:59:51,970 --> 02:59:56,810
because, and so by moving code enforcement out, we would have been able to look to be able

1962
02:59:56,810 --> 02:59:59,970
the park in the civil rights village and so what we're looking for is

1963
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:26,660
We're looking to do what we're going to redirect those services to some city facilities that we will accommodate them in. And so what we're looking for commissions approval is to terminate the lease by, you know, as of August 30th, 2025. At yesterday's agenda review, there was a discussion about whether or not we want to do both bays or one.

1964
03:00:26,660 --> 03:00:39,640
So the recommendation that was preset in the resolution is to do the large bay so the commission would need to decide if they want to do the large bay both bays or or none and so

1965
03:00:39,640 --> 03:00:42,800
Mr. Mayor, that's the decision that the commission needs to make today.

1966
03:00:43,480 --> 03:00:50,540
We will, we've distributed earlier before the meeting, the clerk distributed both versions of the letter.

1967
03:00:50,540 --> 03:00:56,520
There are pretty much the same other than one says the large bay one says the lease in general

1968
03:00:56,520 --> 03:00:59,680
And so Mr. Mayor, we'll answer any questions anyone has

1969
03:01:00,280 --> 03:01:05,420
Okay, thank you. This item is open to the public for a question any comments any

1970
03:01:06,040 --> 03:01:06,880
Have a none

1971
03:01:07,640 --> 03:01:13,430
We need a motion second to prove what's the recommendation. Yeah, okay, most should prove

1972
03:01:19,800 --> 03:01:20,880
Second okay

1973
03:01:20,880 --> 03:01:23,140
Any comment? Any discussion there?

1974
03:01:23,460 --> 03:01:24,840
Yes, I'd like to move a motion.

1975
03:01:25,100 --> 03:01:25,420
Okay.

1976
03:01:25,760 --> 03:01:32,820
I'd like to move a motion to terminate Riverside lease as to all the bays because of their breach

1977
03:01:32,820 --> 03:01:33,360
of lease.

1978
03:01:34,280 --> 03:01:36,800
Not just one, but both the bays.

1979
03:01:37,220 --> 03:01:37,580
Second.

1980
03:01:41,860 --> 03:01:44,080
Madam Clerk, the roll call please.

1981
03:01:47,140 --> 03:01:48,240
Vice Mayor Lewis-Ricketts?

1982
03:01:48,640 --> 03:01:48,920
Yes.

1983
03:01:49,320 --> 03:01:49,440
Mayor.

1984
03:01:50,380 --> 03:01:51,800
Commissioner Bruce Montafe?

1985
03:01:52,000 --> 03:01:52,140
Yes.

1986
03:01:52,520 --> 03:01:53,300
Commissioner Lewis?

1987
03:01:53,520 --> 03:01:53,660
Yes.

1988
03:01:53,660 --> 03:01:55,040
May you report to the committee.

1989
03:01:55,040 --> 03:01:55,240
Yes.

1990
03:01:56,720 --> 03:01:57,260
Thank you.

1991
03:01:57,460 --> 03:01:59,940
Take us to item 14

1992
03:02:01,960 --> 03:02:04,100
E.

1993
03:02:06,040 --> 03:02:07,000
Madam Attorney?

1994
03:02:07,360 --> 03:02:10,500
The resolution of the City Commission of the City of North Florida, Dale Florida.

1995
03:02:10,820 --> 03:02:14,560
Authorizing the mayor of the City of North Florida, Dale, on behalf of the City Commission,

1996
03:02:15,140 --> 03:02:22,540
to execute and to otherwise enter into the attached employment agreement with the new deputy

1997
03:02:22,540 --> 03:02:44,240
the city clerk, which would be tell us galois pursuant to which contract the city would hire him as deputy clerk and authorizing the mayor to do all things necessary to count, to carry out the aims of the resolution and providing for an effective date, the city manager has more detail.

1998
03:02:46,080 --> 03:02:50,460
Thank you, Mr. Mayor, again, good evening, Mr. Mayor, members of the commission.

1999
03:02:51,240 --> 03:02:56,460
At the February 25th commission meeting, three candidates were interviewed for the deputy

2000
03:02:56,460 --> 03:03:04,380
city clerk position, with the final selection deferred until the May 27th commission meeting.

2001
03:03:04,980 --> 03:03:11,620
At that meeting, the commission turns Mr. Lewis, the second rank candidate to offer the position

2002
03:03:11,620 --> 03:03:16,080
and authorize the city administration to develop an acceptable employment agreement.

2003
03:03:17,280 --> 03:03:26,680
There are two areas that the commission will need to decide in order to complete this agreement.

2004
03:03:26,840 --> 03:03:32,560
This is a city commission hire and I do not have the authority to settle these issues.

2005
03:03:32,560 --> 03:03:45,880
So the city is proposing to start the salary at $70,000 and $545 in 10 cents.

2006
03:03:46,000 --> 03:03:50,300
That is 85% of the midpoint, which is the city's policy.

2007
03:03:50,920 --> 03:03:56,120
During the discussions with Mr. Lewis and the Human Resource Director,

2008
03:03:56,720 --> 03:04:01,500
Mr. Lewis requested $82,000 due to his experience of qualifications.

2009
03:04:01,500 --> 03:04:06,740
The city clerk has distributed his Mr. Lewis's resume.

2010
03:04:07,080 --> 03:04:12,400
The salary range for this position is between 56, 436, which is the minimum.

2011
03:04:13,220 --> 03:04:16,540
And 91,362, 56.

2012
03:04:17,380 --> 03:04:25,300
And so that is really the first question the commission will need to decide is what amount of a salary do they want to offer.

2013
03:04:25,300 --> 03:04:36,780
The second issue, and the other issue is Mr. Lewis is asking for consideration from the commission to waive the certification reimbursement policy.

2014
03:04:37,420 --> 03:04:43,340
The city, we've declined that because we want to maintain equitable treatment.

2015
03:04:43,560 --> 03:04:51,160
Again, this is a commission employee, and so it is not a city employee, so the commission can certainly waive that requirement should you wish.

2016
03:04:51,160 --> 03:04:59,960
Currently in the city any employee who goes through the process of getting a degree or certifications is held to a standard where they were.

2017
03:05:00,000 --> 03:05:29,200
Would need to be responsible for paying back the city should they leave early. Simply that's done because we don't want to be in the ground area where people get certifications to then leave and then benefit that training in other jobs. Again, the commission certainly has the right to wave that if they want. And so city recommends, city administration recommends commission authorized mayor to execute the agreement for employment with Mr. Lewis at the proposed starting salary of blank.

2018
03:05:29,200 --> 03:05:37,540
and then also with the terms of the certification reimbursement and we hope

2019
03:05:37,540 --> 03:05:44,180
anyway we can Mr. Mayor. Okay. Thank you. This item is open to the public for

2020
03:05:45,200 --> 03:05:53,150
comments have been done. I need a motion second to approve. Motion to approve

2021
03:05:53,150 --> 03:05:58,790
that. What? To approve. Yes. I mean actually which amount. Well we're going to have

2022
03:05:58,790 --> 03:06:08,310
discussion without a number without sit it again you are making a motion to

2023
03:06:08,310 --> 03:06:12,730
approve the agreement agreement yes it doesn't have any it doesn't have a

2024
03:06:12,730 --> 03:06:16,510
yes no number yes so we're going to have a discussion right now yeah we want

2025
03:06:16,510 --> 03:06:22,790
to have a discussion to what amount he's been offered actually a minimum salary as

2026
03:06:22,790 --> 03:06:24,290
I see the management is 56.

2027
03:06:25,290 --> 03:06:32,970
At the midpoint is 70, 5545, maximum is 91 and the applicant is as 82.

2028
03:06:33,710 --> 03:06:35,370
So any comments at this point?

2029
03:06:36,110 --> 03:06:36,990
For the chair?

2030
03:06:37,330 --> 03:06:37,950
Yeah, record that.

2031
03:06:39,290 --> 03:06:42,010
We're offering 70,000.

2032
03:06:42,010 --> 03:06:43,110
He's asking 82.

2033
03:06:43,570 --> 03:06:47,590
That's a difference of $12,000.

2034
03:06:51,390 --> 03:06:54,470
My recommendation would be, we go 50,000.

2035
03:06:54,470 --> 03:07:05,320
50%, we go 50% of the difference of 12,000, which are the 6,000, which are made of 76,000.

2036
03:07:05,980 --> 03:07:07,920
76,000.

2037
03:07:13,920 --> 03:07:24,000
I have studied, well, just read based on the apocryphal sorry today, that the apocryphal

2038
03:07:24,000 --> 03:07:31,080
So Candidate has some experience and also a master,

2039
03:07:31,420 --> 03:07:36,120
I believe, a credential, maybe a county offer,

2040
03:07:36,280 --> 03:07:38,480
maybe at, make

2041
03:07:40,980 --> 03:07:42,180
it 78,

2042
03:07:44,650 --> 03:07:46,290
if we

2043
03:07:48,430 --> 03:07:49,750
wanna go work for two,

2044
03:07:50,110 --> 03:07:51,310
or how do we go?

2045
03:07:51,810 --> 03:07:54,310
Because you can continue to see what kind

2046
03:07:54,310 --> 03:07:55,490
of confidence you're getting.

2047
03:07:55,970 --> 03:07:58,390
So it kind of, well, that comes to itself.

2048
03:07:58,390 --> 03:07:59,530
So the midpoint was $70?

2049
03:08:00,090 --> 03:08:00,930
$70, yeah.

2050
03:08:03,890 --> 03:08:08,530
Madam vice mayor, it's just $76, and 50%.

2051
03:08:10,790 --> 03:08:11,430
I'm sorry.

2052
03:08:12,610 --> 03:08:14,010
Vice mayor, $76.

2053
03:08:14,770 --> 03:08:17,290
$76, but I just tried to counteract,

2054
03:08:17,390 --> 03:08:20,150
but I put it maybe two more, you know.

2055
03:08:20,630 --> 03:08:20,790
All right,

2056
03:08:23,640 --> 03:08:24,080
commission it.

2057
03:08:24,280 --> 03:08:25,620
So let me see, you know, $76.

2058
03:08:25,960 --> 03:08:29,680
Okay, let's go for, we need a motion, please.

2059
03:08:29,680 --> 03:08:39,080
the motion for 76 and what about the other item are you are you considering

2060
03:08:39,080 --> 03:08:48,260
waving the repayment no we're following the city protocol okay so yeah

2061
03:08:49,480 --> 03:08:50,040
Yes.

2062
03:08:51,020 --> 03:08:54,320
I have two and three.

2063
03:08:54,500 --> 03:08:57,680
I mean, I have two and three.

2064
03:08:58,320 --> 03:08:58,480
Okay.

2065
03:08:59,400 --> 03:09:01,340
So 76 and followed through City Protocol.

2066
03:09:01,800 --> 03:09:02,060
Okay.

2067
03:09:02,240 --> 03:09:06,340
And everybody has agreement, then you could do a motion to just...

2068
03:09:06,900 --> 03:09:07,140
Okay.

2069
03:09:07,520 --> 03:09:08,620
If you all agree.

2070
03:09:09,520 --> 03:09:11,040
Commissioner for some of it.

2071
03:09:12,100 --> 03:09:13,520
With the other two items.

2072
03:09:16,970 --> 03:09:19,630
Who would the City of the City of the City and the...

2073
03:09:21,000 --> 03:09:29,420
Sorry I could could you speak up right okay all right so just with the item number one just a salary.

2074
03:09:32,260 --> 03:09:32,720
So

2075
03:09:32,720 --> 03:09:35,760
I think you have to take a motion vice-president in motion

2076
03:09:38,280 --> 03:09:42,160
I've not read the motion if we need to be clear

2077
03:09:43,320 --> 03:09:49,680
Okay, it's in a way that more than more motion that we are for the 76,000 as the starting point and

2078
03:09:49,680 --> 03:09:56,300
and we're staying into the city's standards are not accepting the wave and the fee.

2079
03:09:57,100 --> 03:09:58,240
I second it.

2080
03:09:58,400 --> 03:09:59,900
Okay. We need a more...

2081
03:10:00,500 --> 03:10:08,380
Madam Clerk, the roll call, please. My name is Marguerite. Yes. Commissioner, Mr. Mante. Yes. Commissioner

2082
03:10:08,380 --> 03:10:21,100
Lewis. Yes. And Mayor Borgillette. Yes. All right. Pass. Madam Attorney, next item. Oh, it's been pulled

2083
03:10:21,100 --> 03:10:31,020
with the review. For further review. Next meeting. Next meeting, yeah. We go to 14G. I could

2084
03:10:31,760 --> 03:10:39,760
A resolution of the City Commission of the City of North Florida deal Florida directing the City Manager to consult with the School Board of Routh County

2085
03:10:39,760 --> 03:10:51,020
to develop a year-round multi-use field with surrounding track loop, including a life name detection system and adequate parking at the North Florida Dale Elementary School.

2086
03:10:51,820 --> 03:11:12,920
The resulting agreement shall include provision for the school board in the city's joint use of the facility or the city's complete control of the facility, requiring that the facility be developed in an environmentally sensitive manner to protect or relocate the Boeing OWL species located at the site and providing for an effective date.

2087
03:11:16,490 --> 03:11:17,910
Okay, City Manager.

2088
03:11:18,710 --> 03:11:20,910
Yes, thank you, Mr. Mayor, members of the commission.

2089
03:11:21,210 --> 03:11:24,690
So this is an item that the mayor has requested on the agenda.

2090
03:11:25,290 --> 03:11:35,190
And so as the city attorney clearly stated, it would be to build a multi-use type field at North Auditor Elementary School.

2091
03:11:36,270 --> 03:11:44,110
We would need to have discussions with the school board to see if we could either one get ownership of the property.

2092
03:11:44,110 --> 03:11:48,930
or two, if we could enter into some, we have a long-term agreement with the school,

2093
03:11:49,070 --> 03:11:54,330
but we have a 30-year lease, however the lease does not address if the school board decides

2094
03:11:54,330 --> 03:12:00,210
tomorrow they want to build a new building on that field, that there will be any payback

2095
03:12:00,210 --> 03:12:05,730
to the city for any work that was done. And so we would want to discuss with the school board

2096
03:12:05,730 --> 03:12:12,070
either a donation of the property or allowing that lease to be modified, where they would put

2097
03:12:12,070 --> 03:12:16,330
in some payback, you know, whether it's per rated year or whatever.

2098
03:12:16,910 --> 03:12:22,210
So we already have reached out to the school board and we're waiting for members of the

2099
03:12:22,210 --> 03:12:27,130
school board staff to get back to us and so we can start having those discussions.

2100
03:12:27,870 --> 03:12:32,170
As the mayor has requested, I believe in the previous discussion on this item, you know,

2101
03:12:32,250 --> 03:12:35,730
he'd like to be part of those meetings so we will make sure that whenever we have those meetings

2102
03:12:35,730 --> 03:12:41,070
with the school board, that the mayor is aware and invited to those meetings for his input

2103
03:12:41,070 --> 03:12:45,310
and possibly political muscle, if it needs to get that way with the school board members.

2104
03:12:46,850 --> 03:12:54,850
And then separate from that, parks and recreation will work with a consultant to see what needs to be done to be able to feel there.

2105
03:12:55,510 --> 03:13:00,270
And part of the discussion will be that with the school board will be removing the houses we've talked before.

2106
03:13:00,950 --> 03:13:04,550
The Almounds are active and they are the property of the school board.

2107
03:13:04,670 --> 03:13:08,850
The city turned over that responsibility to the school board years ago.

2108
03:13:09,410 --> 03:13:11,990
after there were some issues with the mountains and the school boards.

2109
03:13:12,250 --> 03:13:16,610
So we would have to work with the school board on relocating the house as well.

2110
03:13:17,070 --> 03:13:22,010
So but it's all something that we'll do and as we said on a previous item,

2111
03:13:22,650 --> 03:13:26,330
we will report back within 90 days on the feasibility, hopefully earlier.

2112
03:13:26,910 --> 03:13:30,930
But a lot of that will depend on the school board's time frame to meet with us.

2113
03:13:31,790 --> 03:13:32,890
Okay, thank you.

2114
03:13:34,530 --> 03:13:44,450
This item is open to the public for comments, but recognize we probably don't have a week ago, maybe two or two ago.

2115
03:13:44,530 --> 03:13:51,830
We had a lot of parents, residents coming to voice their opinion on this one, so we have a significant consideration there.

2116
03:13:52,390 --> 03:13:54,810
We need a motion, a second to approve right now.

2117
03:13:55,950 --> 03:13:56,310
Motion to approve.

2118
03:13:56,770 --> 03:13:57,010
Second.

2119
03:13:57,670 --> 03:13:59,850
Okay. Any further comments?

2120
03:13:59,850 --> 03:14:02,710
have been done madam clerk the roll call please.

2121
03:14:02,870 --> 03:14:04,050
Vice Mayor Lewis-Rickett.

2122
03:14:04,310 --> 03:14:04,530
Yes.

2123
03:14:04,750 --> 03:14:05,570
Mr. Bruce Humante.

2124
03:14:05,870 --> 03:14:06,010
Yes.

2125
03:14:06,470 --> 03:14:07,370
Commissioner Lewis.

2126
03:14:07,530 --> 03:14:07,710
Yes.

2127
03:14:07,990 --> 03:14:08,710
Mayor Forcheland.

2128
03:14:09,010 --> 03:14:09,150
Yes.

2129
03:14:10,070 --> 03:14:13,970
And that takes us to item 14 H.

2130
03:14:14,410 --> 03:14:15,350
Madam Attorney.

2131
03:14:16,050 --> 03:14:19,510
A resolution of the City Commission of the City of North Lauderdale, Florida

2132
03:14:19,510 --> 03:14:24,830
establishing the mayor's initiative, goal program, giving opportunity for athletic learning.

2133
03:14:24,830 --> 03:14:54,590
as a voucher-based youth access initiative for the fiscal year 2026 pilot year, authorizing the city manager to implement a voucher system for qualifying families to participate in city run recreation with the ledical enrichment programs, providing that the sum of $20,000 be identified from within the Ports and Rec Deportments approved fiscal year 2026 budget, providing for eligibility guidelines, providing for reporting requirements to the Mayor and City Commission, providing

2134
03:14:54,590 --> 03:14:58,730
for several ability, providing for conflicts, and providing point effective dates.

2135
03:15:01,900 --> 03:15:31,000
Okay. See the attorney. I mean, see the manager twice today. I've been I've been called works. No. No. No. No. No. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Mayor, members of the commission. So, um, if she starts to swing, let me know. No, thank you, Mr. Mayor, members of the commission. So as as the city attorney eloquently stated, this would be a direction to begin a

2136
03:15:31,000 --> 03:15:39,080
a scholarship or voucher type program that would provide funding for children in a variety

2137
03:15:39,080 --> 03:15:45,940
of different parks and recreation run type programs, North Florida residents, and so we

2138
03:15:45,940 --> 03:15:52,340
will work to create the requirements, the eligibility requirements.

2139
03:15:52,740 --> 03:15:59,680
We have something already in place for a minor home repair program, so we can look at that.

2140
03:16:00,200 --> 03:16:19,480
Our finance director and parks and recreation director can work to come up with the dollar about the dollar concept, and we will then have our budget manager also look to see how we can move funds for this new program, create a line item when we bring the budget back to the commission on September 12th.

2141
03:16:19,480 --> 03:16:22,420
We'll bring the plan back as well at the September 9th meeting.

2142
03:16:23,100 --> 03:16:29,560
Additionally, we will look to see if our foundation can provide some additional funding for this.

2143
03:16:30,120 --> 03:16:34,340
We have to have a foundation meeting in September, so we will provide some additional funds.

2144
03:16:34,640 --> 03:16:40,760
But again, this is one of the mayor's initiatives, and it will greatly benefit this advantage.

2145
03:16:41,400 --> 03:16:47,420
Youth in the city who can afford some of the current programs that are offered in the city.

2146
03:16:49,020 --> 03:16:49,520
Okay.

2147
03:16:51,560 --> 03:16:57,360
Again, it's open to the public for any question, any comments, everyone? We need

2148
03:16:57,360 --> 03:17:02,100
a motion, a second to approve, please. Most approve.

2149
03:17:04,150 --> 03:17:06,590
Second? Any comments?

2150
03:17:08,130 --> 03:17:19,090
the chair. Yes. May I, does this program include tennis? Yes, that would, that would,

2151
03:17:19,810 --> 03:17:27,870
however, I want to, this is where I need to see the attorneys assisted again right here

2152
03:17:27,870 --> 03:17:35,850
because I want me to do that. I wanted to amend slightly this because it's just the name

2153
03:17:35,850 --> 03:17:40,590
of the program on it would remain the remain because the name it would be given opportunity

2154
03:17:41,510 --> 03:17:47,690
opportunity for athletic learning which has been goal she or a L which would be a voucher

2155
03:17:47,690 --> 03:17:52,730
base youth access and it's a tool for as a pilot year.

2156
03:17:53,090 --> 03:17:56,470
That's what we put when I read it I read it just like that.

2157
03:17:56,630 --> 03:18:02,610
Yes you just like okay okay I didn't follow that okay that's fine and just want to thank

2158
03:18:02,610 --> 03:18:06,290
I'm going to see the manager and see the tenant for working together on this project there.

2159
03:18:07,310 --> 03:18:12,710
I'm sure that's going to help a lot with many other sports that we have.

2160
03:18:13,270 --> 03:18:14,970
So we've shot one person there.

2161
03:18:17,110 --> 03:18:17,850
We'll vote.

2162
03:18:18,310 --> 03:18:19,270
We'll vote a wait.

2163
03:18:20,610 --> 03:18:21,090
We'll vote.

2164
03:18:21,930 --> 03:18:25,230
All right, let's move on.

2165
03:18:25,990 --> 03:18:27,390
You know, for the comments there.

2166
03:18:27,510 --> 03:18:28,970
My name is Kirk Piedit, roll call, please.

Yes.

2171
03:18:34,790 --> 03:18:45,990
The next item there, we're almost done, items 14i, almost in a reference.

03:18:46,570 --> 03:18:52,330

03:19:19,010 --> 03:19:21,110
Thank you, Mr. Mayor and members of the commission.

2183
03:19:22,090 --> 03:19:27,050
So this item would authorize the closing

2184
03:19:27,050 --> 03:19:35,690
in the purchase of the property located at 1300 South State Road 7, the former site of the

2185
03:19:35,690 --> 03:19:43,390
first Haitian Baptist Church of North Lauderdale. As directed by the commission at the April 8th

2186
03:19:43,390 --> 03:19:50,650
commission meeting, the parties agreed at the selling price of $1.9 million as part of the due

2187
03:19:50,650 --> 03:19:55,170
The city did do a phase one environmental site assessment.

2188
03:19:55,410 --> 03:19:58,250
It did identify the need for a further review.

2189
03:19:58,410 --> 03:19:59,970
A phase two assessment would be-

2190
03:20:00,000 --> 03:20:27,600
It was done. It was initiated in June, and it was recently completed. In fact, it was completed after the agenda went out, and this was a rush to get this on the agenda. It did find that there are no environmental impacts to the soil or groundwater, and concluded that no additional environmental review was warranted at this time. So with both environmental assessments now complete, our conversations with the Assistant City Attorney, Mr. Powell.

2191
03:20:28,300 --> 03:20:35,500
We are recommending that we move forward with authorization that would allow us to close on the property.

2192
03:20:36,180 --> 03:20:44,140
The closing would take place on August 7th as it would give the attorney's office a little bit of time to review all the documents.

2193
03:20:44,900 --> 03:20:52,780
And then we will make closing on the 7th and pay within a day or so of the closing or right after the closing electronically.

2194
03:20:52,780 --> 03:21:00,800
So with that, it gives the city now two pieces of vacant property that can be redeveloped.

2195
03:21:00,880 --> 03:21:08,960
And so as this completes its redevelopment study, they were tasked with looking at the

2196
03:21:08,960 --> 03:21:13,080
mayor's downtown vision and also some of the vacant property in the city.

2197
03:21:13,260 --> 03:21:20,900
So we will now work on coming up with the best option for redevelopment of that site

2198
03:21:20,900 --> 03:21:27,340
and of the piece of property that the city owns on the Wawa shopping plaza.

2199
03:21:28,180 --> 03:21:33,580
And so Mr. Mayor, we're looking for your approval to allow us to proceed and complete the purchase process.

2200
03:21:34,390 --> 03:21:35,800
Thank you, Mr. Manager.

2201
03:21:36,640 --> 03:21:49,590
This item is open to the public for comments, any question, any one feel free, including the, I would say owner, no.

2202
03:21:49,590 --> 03:21:50,870
Is it owner?

2203
03:21:51,570 --> 03:21:52,870
The owner is of now.

2204
03:21:53,910 --> 03:21:56,870
Including if you want to have to say a few words for free.

2205
03:21:56,890 --> 03:21:57,810
How would you like to say anything?

2206
03:21:59,150 --> 03:21:59,550
And okay.

2207
03:21:59,910 --> 03:22:01,090
You want to lower the price?

2208
03:22:02,690 --> 03:22:03,170
No.

2209
03:22:03,890 --> 03:22:05,210
That might bring you up here.

2210
03:22:05,410 --> 03:22:06,030
You know that way, right?

2211
03:22:08,110 --> 03:22:08,930
We had that.

2212
03:22:09,690 --> 03:22:10,170
Okay.

2213
03:22:11,130 --> 03:22:11,610
Okay.

2214
03:22:11,890 --> 03:22:12,370
Okay.

2215
03:22:12,490 --> 03:22:12,850
That's it.

2216
03:22:13,090 --> 03:22:15,710
We need a motion in seconds to approve.

2217
03:22:16,370 --> 03:22:17,690
Most of them.

2218
03:22:17,850 --> 03:22:18,250
Second.

2219
03:22:34,270 --> 03:22:45,870
Okay, let me just add one is it's not related but it is related in a way because we have a community way in a back there I believe it's

2220
03:22:49,510 --> 03:23:14,550
I think it's an opportunity now, yes, it's an opportunity now, just to put it there since it's connected, if it could really have a community development to really work hard on that, because there's a lot of complaints about what it looks like there, so to bring it up, just an opportunity that I would like to tie it to into this one there, basically again.

2221
03:23:15,070 --> 03:23:16,170
as soon as we can.

2222
03:23:16,570 --> 03:23:16,910
Yes sir.

2223
03:23:17,230 --> 03:23:19,830
Better, better, better site.

2224
03:23:20,230 --> 03:23:21,010
Okay, for the city.

2225
03:23:21,730 --> 03:23:22,990
And having said that,

2226
03:23:23,470 --> 03:23:25,490
Madam Clerk, do the roll call for us please.

2227
03:23:25,710 --> 03:23:26,870
Vice Mayor of the West Rapids.

2228
03:23:27,030 --> 03:23:27,210
Yes.

2229
03:23:27,490 --> 03:23:28,310
Mr. Bush-Monte.

2230
03:23:28,710 --> 03:23:28,830
Yes.

2231
03:23:29,090 --> 03:23:29,650
Mr. Lewis.

2232
03:23:29,970 --> 03:23:30,170
Yes.

2233
03:23:30,410 --> 03:23:30,990
Mayor Borgillin.

2234
03:23:31,210 --> 03:23:31,390
Yes.

2235
03:23:31,950 --> 03:23:33,410
And just before we move on,

2236
03:23:34,170 --> 03:23:37,810
as I mentioned, we discuss it with City Manager yesterday.

2237
03:23:38,730 --> 03:23:40,950
As soon as this is still is done,

2238
03:23:41,250 --> 03:23:41,930
as soon as it is done,

2239
03:23:42,450 --> 03:23:47,270
You put just put a sign or a poster.

2240
03:23:47,630 --> 03:23:47,890
Yes sir.

2241
03:23:47,930 --> 03:23:52,410
Get onto the seat in the floor bill so I'm sorry.

2242
03:23:52,530 --> 03:23:54,450
No dumping also.

2243
03:23:54,730 --> 03:23:56,570
We will have a posted no trespassing.

2244
03:23:56,750 --> 03:23:57,890
The trespassing is sitting properly.

2245
03:23:57,970 --> 03:23:58,330
Yes sir.

2246
03:23:58,810 --> 03:23:58,950
Right.

2247
03:23:59,230 --> 03:24:00,010
Thank you very much.

2248
03:24:00,170 --> 03:24:00,410
Okay.

2249
03:24:00,650 --> 03:24:00,870
Yeah.

2250
03:24:01,010 --> 03:24:03,730
That takes us to 15

2251
03:24:06,550 --> 03:24:09,790
item 15 reports that you see the manager.

2252
03:24:09,970 --> 03:24:10,190
Go ahead.

2253
03:24:10,230 --> 03:24:10,590
So yes.

2254
03:24:10,750 --> 03:24:11,430
Thank you Mr. Mayor.

2255
03:24:11,430 --> 03:24:20,210
So David and Allison, oh, David, Allison, that, David is sad here so patiently, but as I stated,

2256
03:24:20,410 --> 03:24:28,910
we've done two town hall meetings on our new utility building process, and we've had

2257
03:24:28,910 --> 03:24:32,870
over a hundred residents came out and sat through that presentation.

2258
03:24:33,450 --> 03:24:39,330
It was live stream, so countless others watched at home, and oh, I'm sorry, Allison, I thought

2259
03:24:39,330 --> 03:24:51,130
you come on up and so countless others can watch it in archives and we will continue to advertise

2260
03:24:51,130 --> 03:24:54,990
that it's out there, but one day please, one day.

2261
03:25:05,520 --> 03:25:34,780
And so, wanted David to walk through, and Allison, just to walk through so that you're aware of what we're asking of the residents. I'm sure you've gotten the letters at home, too. But one, David, and Allison, just to walk through and let you know briefly, you know, what, what we're asking the residents, and go ahead, they're on with the show. Gotcha. Okay. Your presentation in there? No, I just wrote it. Okay. Make it a little easier. So, good evening.

2262
03:25:34,780 --> 03:25:40,100
the mayor, vice mayor, commissioners, city manager, city attorney, city clerk, everyone

2263
03:25:40,100 --> 03:25:41,120
in their respective places.

2264
03:25:41,680 --> 03:25:46,040
So my name is David Hans, I'm the customer service and billing supervisor with US Water.

2265
03:25:47,000 --> 03:25:51,120
So just wanted to read a quick statement and then give you all some background of some

2266
03:25:51,120 --> 03:25:53,220
of the things that we've been going through.

2267
03:25:53,760 --> 03:25:59,280
I'm very grateful for US Water staff, the utility billing supervisor, Alison Gail, the department

2268
03:25:59,280 --> 03:26:04,140
of innovation and information technology service director, Mitchell Williams and the finance

2269
03:26:04,140 --> 03:26:09,720
Department Director Sophia Henderson. It has been a collaborative effort to ensure the success of this project.

2270
03:26:10,120 --> 03:26:17,220
I recall when I first started October of 2023, that the mayor stated that there have been many projects that start and do not come to fruition.

2271
03:26:17,840 --> 03:26:21,700
That statement provided us all with the driving force to push this project forward without ceasing.

2272
03:26:22,300 --> 03:26:28,460
So far, one letter has gone out to explain what the project entails as a whole while the second letter went out this week,

2273
03:26:28,620 --> 03:26:31,940
which will provide owners with their new 10-digit utility billing number.

2274
03:26:31,940 --> 03:26:57,780
The third letter will be going out the second week of August to communicate the specific information of what residents will need to know will take place for the first couple of months of this project on July 23rd is on July 23rd and 28th of 2025 as city manager communicated we conducted a town hall meeting for residents to get an understanding of some of the new features process changes and future items to come.

2275
03:26:57,780 --> 03:27:04,260
We were grateful for the turnout and the receptiveness of the residents that attended the on-site and live stream.

2276
03:27:04,780 --> 03:27:11,680
This ERP project will continue to allow the city to continue with their technology roadmap to current and future projects.

2277
03:27:12,200 --> 03:27:15,620
This will mark as my third billing system implementation with the municipality.

2278
03:27:16,180 --> 03:27:19,400
And I can say with confidence that we are well ahead of our neighboring cities.

2279
03:27:19,880 --> 03:27:24,920
And our understanding, our approach and community education implementation strategies also.

2280
03:27:24,920 --> 03:27:28,700
So we look forward to continuing to serve the great residents of the city of North Lauderdale

2281
03:27:28,700 --> 03:27:30,780
with our innovation.

2282
03:27:32,320 --> 03:27:36,760
So just a couple of items that we did clear up at the town hall meeting.

2283
03:27:37,560 --> 03:27:42,320
Ones that are going to be very pertinent to customers, residents I should say.

2284
03:27:42,920 --> 03:27:49,000
So during the time period of August 14th to August 27th, there will be a time period where

2285
03:27:49,000 --> 03:27:53,640
customers will not be able to make any payments because we have to fully close out everything

2286
03:27:53,640 --> 03:27:57,160
in the old billing system to convert over into the new billing system.

2287
03:27:57,540 --> 03:28:03,260
So during that time period of August 14 through the 27th, there will be no payments allowed

2288
03:28:03,260 --> 03:28:07,560
within the system, but we did communicate with customers that they will still be allowed

2289
03:28:07,560 --> 03:28:14,100
to make payments, put payments in the drop box outside through over the breezeway, so

2290
03:28:14,100 --> 03:28:20,340
they will still be able to put their checks, their cashier checks or money orders, or they

2291
03:28:20,340 --> 03:28:25,240
can make payments in Ampscott, which is a $2 fee, but those are the ultimate payment

2292
03:28:25,240 --> 03:28:28,840
strains that they're going to be able to make, but no payments will be able to go in a

2293
03:28:28,840 --> 03:28:33,140
system during that time period. So we call that a blackout time period. So during that

2294
03:28:33,140 --> 03:28:38,240
time period, when no payments are made, we'll be getting everything together to transition

2295
03:28:38,240 --> 03:28:44,480
into the new billing system. Once the new billing system goes live, August 27th of this year,

2296
03:28:44,480 --> 03:28:48,740
which is almost a month or an hour, less than a month now.

2297
03:28:49,340 --> 03:28:56,180
Customers will be allowed to register in the resident access portal,

2298
03:28:56,340 --> 03:29:00,140
which is the customer portal, thank you.

2299
03:29:00,880 --> 03:29:05,720
Currently right now, the customers are only allowed to see the payment portal,

2300
03:29:06,200 --> 03:29:06,880
and that's all.

2301
03:29:07,100 --> 03:29:08,880
They can see their invoice and they can make a payment.

2302
03:29:09,180 --> 03:29:11,940
But in the resident portal, they'll be able, or the customer portal,

2303
03:29:12,340 --> 03:29:13,640
they'll be able to make payments.

2304
03:29:13,640 --> 03:29:17,920
they'll be able to see their consumption, they'll be able to make changes within the system,

2305
03:29:18,200 --> 03:29:22,260
and they'll also be able to submit service requests if they need to.

2306
03:29:22,440 --> 03:29:26,080
So there are a lot of new features that the new system will allow,

2307
03:29:26,420 --> 03:29:29,040
and we will continue to communicate that information to customers.

2308
03:29:29,760 --> 03:29:34,780
As I stated, we will send the third letter out the second week of August to communicate to

2309
03:29:34,780 --> 03:29:38,620
residents that there are other things that are going to be taken place.

2310
03:29:38,620 --> 03:29:44,700
one thing that is going to be changed, customers will no longer be receiving the

2311
03:29:44,700 --> 03:29:50,180
text, the text payments that feature is going to go away. However, they do have

2312
03:29:50,180 --> 03:29:55,200
other features that they will be able to utilize now as well as in the future, so

2313
03:29:55,200 --> 03:29:58,540
we're really excited about that and they have been able to give us some more

2314
03:29:58,540 --> 03:29:59,040
information.

2315
03:30:00,140 --> 03:30:29,960
That's for the most part. We will be updating the city website within the next couple of days to communicate some of that information as well as we also went over other items as well. So if you all have any questions, that is all that I have. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Any question any comments? Good. We don't have any. Thank you. Thank you. I just wanted to say, since it's been here and

2316
03:30:29,960 --> 03:30:36,000
of 2023. We have seen a big turn around because we're very, very upset with water.

2317
03:30:36,840 --> 03:30:43,880
U.S. water, very upset. But now I have to say you're doing it. You and your staff are doing

2318
03:30:43,880 --> 03:30:48,880
a great job. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. And I want to continue to thank the city

2319
03:30:48,880 --> 03:30:53,120
of North Lauderdale and their staff that we work with. If it wasn't for them and us collaborating

2320
03:30:53,120 --> 03:30:56,920
together, we wouldn't be able to make this happen. So grateful for everyone in their respective

2321
03:30:56,920 --> 03:31:00,660
of places but definitely our team just making it happen so thank you all

2322
03:31:00,660 --> 03:31:05,840
have a great evening. Thank you and let me just add as a mission just just

2323
03:31:05,840 --> 03:31:12,140
bring it up because it's been over and over and over there's a request for

2324
03:31:13,720 --> 03:31:20,140
front to have someone to assist with the Creole speakers they've been there for

2325
03:31:20,140 --> 03:31:25,120
a long time they used to have it but I don't know where I would what can be done

2326
03:31:25,120 --> 03:31:28,140
and at this point, it creates in Spanish both together.

2327
03:31:28,940 --> 03:31:31,520
Yes, sir, when we put out for employees,

2328
03:31:31,680 --> 03:31:34,740
that's one of the things that we do try to pull in for,

2329
03:31:34,920 --> 03:31:36,580
so we're continuing to work on that as well.

2330
03:31:36,680 --> 03:31:38,220
There's some new technology out there

2331
03:31:38,220 --> 03:31:41,760
that we're working on as well with Mitch Williams

2332
03:31:41,760 --> 03:31:43,300
to try to get us to that point.

2333
03:31:43,540 --> 03:31:45,300
So, we will surely get there.

2334
03:31:45,440 --> 03:31:46,240
Thank you very much.

2335
03:31:46,420 --> 03:31:46,740
All right, thank you.

2336
03:31:47,160 --> 03:31:47,940
Okay, thanks a lot.

2337
03:31:49,500 --> 03:31:54,400
That takes us to item 16, city measure.

2338
03:31:54,400 --> 03:32:05,780
It's your turn. Thank you Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission again good evening. So just a couple things the first thing I want to let you know that our crossing guard contract

2339
03:32:07,380 --> 03:32:20,460
Will expire as of August 1st. It's not our contract. We piggyback off of the city of Tamar contract. It's a contract. Tamarck I can call springs a few cities and Tamarck is

2340
03:32:20,460 --> 03:32:22,280
is the lead in putting the bid out.

2341
03:32:23,640 --> 03:32:25,600
The Tamaracking countered an issue

2342
03:32:26,170 --> 03:32:28,900
where it was supposed to have gone to their commission

2343
03:32:28,900 --> 03:32:29,680
for approval.

2344
03:32:30,220 --> 03:32:32,360
A question was raised, and so they

2345
03:32:32,360 --> 03:32:34,420
didn't get it back on agenda in time.

2346
03:32:35,120 --> 03:32:37,920
It will be approved by the Tamaracks City Commission

2347
03:32:37,920 --> 03:32:40,360
in August, because Tamaracks Commission,

2348
03:32:40,460 --> 03:32:41,900
I guess, is on recess in July.

2349
03:32:42,480 --> 03:32:43,960
So they're going to prove it in August.

2350
03:32:44,320 --> 03:32:45,480
We're going to be on recess.

2351
03:32:45,480 --> 03:32:51,820
us. So we will enter, we will start the new school year, paying the cross-yard company

2352
03:32:51,820 --> 03:32:57,280
under my spending authority up to $25,000. And then at the first commission meeting

2353
03:32:57,280 --> 03:33:01,460
in September, we'll bring that before the commission. So we just want to let you know

2354
03:33:01,460 --> 03:33:05,440
that that we have it not brought it to you, but we haven't brought it to you because

2355
03:33:05,440 --> 03:33:10,520
Tom Mark ran into an issue and needs a way for their commission to approve it. So all

2356
03:33:10,520 --> 03:33:12,820
the other groups that are part of that are all doing the same thing.

2357
03:33:13,340 --> 03:33:17,500
The next item, I just wanted to clarify, for the event, doing good in the hood,

2358
03:33:18,020 --> 03:33:22,400
we are donating the $1,500 and we talked about that yesterday, but I just want to clarify

2359
03:33:22,400 --> 03:33:22,720
that.

2360
03:33:23,000 --> 03:33:27,500
We're doing the $1,500 plus the stage and the police and so on.

2361
03:33:27,920 --> 03:33:33,520
And so there was the backup was the draft backup version and not the final version.

2362
03:33:33,520 --> 03:33:34,820
So I just wanted to clarify that.

2363
03:33:35,180 --> 03:33:35,320
For all.

2364
03:33:35,360 --> 03:33:37,140
Sorry, that's for August 17th.

2365
03:33:37,140 --> 03:33:37,280
Yes.

2366
03:33:37,440 --> 03:33:37,940
Okay, good.

2367
03:33:38,080 --> 03:33:38,260
That's it.

2368
03:33:38,520 --> 03:33:38,620
Yes.

2369
03:33:38,620 --> 03:33:44,240
the next item. When you come back in September, you will see some renovations to the chambers.

2370
03:33:45,020 --> 03:33:49,820
Some of the renovations are being made for security. Some of them are being made just simply

2371
03:33:49,820 --> 03:33:55,960
for appearance. The day is here, the laminated is broken. It's held together with packing tape.

2372
03:33:56,800 --> 03:34:02,780
And so if we want to be a 21st century city, the commission chambers should look that way.

2373
03:34:03,240 --> 03:34:07,480
And so I have had some conversations with the mayor. We will be moving to podium.

2374
03:34:07,480 --> 03:34:11,880
and so that for safety reasons the podium will no longer be right next to the

2375
03:34:11,880 --> 03:34:17,800
dais and so we're going to center the podium on the floor and so most of the

2376
03:34:17,800 --> 03:34:23,800
work can be done under my authority spending authority we did have a

2377
03:34:23,800 --> 03:34:29,780
conversation yesterday and if we need to do any modifications to the dais in

2378
03:34:29,780 --> 03:34:36,080
order to accommodate the city clerk the city attorney and myself we may exceed my

2379
03:34:36,080 --> 03:34:40,560
authority and if we do that we'll bring that back to the commission to renovate in September.

2380
03:34:41,280 --> 03:34:46,920
We have four weeks basically to do this work and so it'll be a combination of some city

2381
03:34:46,920 --> 03:34:51,140
staff and some contractors to do that work but I just wanted to let you know when you come

2382
03:34:51,140 --> 03:34:56,720
back you will have a whole new chambers to look at and we're looking forward to those

2383
03:34:56,720 --> 03:34:59,960
changes. Just some reminders of some upcoming events.

2384
03:35:00,000 --> 03:35:29,980
We still have a paint giveaway scheduled for this coming, or excuse me, for next Saturday, August the 9th. We have some paint to give away, but as we shared in the workshop, the paint facility that is run by Breyer County was destroyed in a massive fire explosion. Nobody was hurt, but all the paint is destroyed and all the building that housed all the paint and the equipment is all totally destroyed.

2385
03:35:29,980 --> 03:35:38,200
So we will look to see what other type of program we can come up with that maybe can help the

2386
03:35:38,200 --> 03:35:43,000
residents as we continue to do paint giveaways because it has become a very popular program.

2387
03:35:44,360 --> 03:35:50,500
Additionally, just a reminder for the residents, the mayor's lean clemency program is still out.

2388
03:35:50,960 --> 03:35:55,420
And if residents have leans, they can contact our community development department.

2389
03:35:56,200 --> 03:36:25,400
Additionally, this coming Saturday, August 2nd, we are following the direction that the commission had asked, and we will be hosting the Barrett County School Board in the commission chambers from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and it will be an opportunity for residents to come to City Hall and to get help directly from the school board to fill out the meal application for reduced or free school board.

2390
03:36:25,420 --> 03:36:33,360
As we've shared with numerous call posts and posters and flyers, free lunch is going away.

2391
03:36:33,700 --> 03:36:37,860
Universal free lunch is going away in public schools, charter schools as well.

2392
03:36:38,540 --> 03:36:44,320
But the Brown School Board is making an effort to make sure that all of their students register for

2393
03:36:44,320 --> 03:36:45,960
the free or reduced lunch program.

2394
03:36:46,400 --> 03:36:49,460
It does not ask any questions about immigration.

2395
03:36:50,300 --> 03:36:51,420
It asks two questions.

2396
03:36:51,420 --> 03:36:59,560
Only question one, the total household income, question two, the total number of people residing in the house.

2397
03:36:59,820 --> 03:37:01,880
That's all the information you have to give.

2398
03:37:02,440 --> 03:37:11,640
And so we encourage everyone to come out on Saturday, there'll be a group of school board employees that will help everybody register.

2399
03:37:11,920 --> 03:37:15,580
And we are the only city that invited the school board out to do that.

2400
03:37:15,580 --> 03:37:21,580
So we're very, and we'll have some city staff here that will help them as well.

2401
03:37:22,200 --> 03:37:31,160
Additionally, on August the 9th, we will be once again providing space at the Recreation Center for a

2402
03:37:31,160 --> 03:37:41,080
become a citizen-free, free citizenship program, and that is on Saturday, August 9th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

2403
03:37:41,080 --> 03:37:49,900
The city is providing the space, so if anybody listening is interested, you can go to www.flyc.org

2404
03:37:49,900 --> 03:38:08,220
or you can call 1-888-657-62 and register and sign up to come meet with some folks to help people register for to get their citizenship.

2405
03:38:08,220 --> 03:38:14,580
And then the last thing the commission approved was on Saturday, excuse me, Sunday, August

2406
03:38:14,580 --> 03:38:21,960
the 17th, from 1 to 4 at the sports complex will be the stronger together essentials giveaway

2407
03:38:21,960 --> 03:38:22,620
bash.

2408
03:38:23,460 --> 03:38:30,260
And it will host giveaways like music performances, food trucks, vendors, flag football, line

2409
03:38:30,260 --> 03:38:32,000
dancing and bounce houses.

2410
03:38:32,540 --> 03:38:35,820
And again, that is being put on by doing good in the hood.

2411
03:38:35,820 --> 03:38:40,800
South Promo, I believe in North Lauderdale Panthers and the city.

2412
03:38:41,440 --> 03:38:42,460
So everyone is invited.

2413
03:38:42,940 --> 03:38:49,120
The next item, Mr. Mayor, is 16B as Employee.

2414
03:38:49,180 --> 03:38:59,020
And it is, the mayor was invited to attend a, the 52nd anniversary of the fourth fire company

2415
03:38:59,340 --> 03:39:02,520
in our sister city, El Busque in Chile.

2416
03:39:02,520 --> 03:39:06,940
And so this falls under the framework of the sister city's agreement.

2417
03:39:07,460 --> 03:39:11,320
The event is September 25th to 28th, 2025.

2418
03:39:14,040 --> 03:39:18,800
So, as you may recall, a few years ago, the mayor and

2419
03:39:18,800 --> 03:39:21,380
deputy chief, Ken Azaris, attended this.

2420
03:39:21,740 --> 03:39:23,520
The cost was not overwhelming.

2421
03:39:24,120 --> 03:39:28,320
And so what we're doing is we're requesting authorization for

2422
03:39:28,320 --> 03:39:29,680
the mayor to be able to travel.

2423
03:39:29,680 --> 03:39:49,500
and the city clerk will work with the mayor to schedule the airline and the hotel and so it is a great opportunity and you have seen the fire fighters from El Busque are routinely in our city and out of our firehouse so it is a way to pay that back.

2424
03:39:50,340 --> 03:39:54,580
So that we would need a motion to authorize that travel.

2425
03:39:54,580 --> 03:39:56,480
With a motion I'll address from

2426
03:40:00,000 --> 03:40:00,100
Thank you.

2427
03:40:05,010 --> 03:40:33,110
Also, I would like to see imagine if you could, for lack of assistance for now. Maybe you do a follow-up with maybe Rodrigo. One of them there because of a donation. I want to make sure we have about some computers for them. They're where they're going to pick it up. Just want to make sure you could respond. Let them know that would be an opportunity. Whenever they want to get it, absolutely. I think it's about maybe 15.

2428
03:40:33,110 --> 03:40:33,870
I'm not so sure.

2429
03:40:34,750 --> 03:40:35,990
But he's aware of that.

2430
03:40:36,370 --> 03:40:37,210
Thank you.

2431
03:40:37,730 --> 03:40:38,750
I might forget.

2432
03:40:39,370 --> 03:40:40,070
Not a promise.

2433
03:40:40,430 --> 03:40:42,090
Okay, so it's been moving second.

2434
03:40:42,310 --> 03:40:42,990
It's seconded.

2435
03:40:43,190 --> 03:40:44,070
Madam Court, please.

2436
03:40:44,610 --> 03:40:45,830
Vice mayor of the list, Ricketts.

2437
03:40:45,910 --> 03:40:46,090
Yes.

2438
03:40:46,510 --> 03:40:47,390
Commissioner Booster-Monte.

2439
03:40:47,670 --> 03:40:47,810
Yes.

2440
03:40:48,010 --> 03:40:48,670
Commissioner of the list.

2441
03:40:48,730 --> 03:40:48,870
Yes.

2442
03:40:49,250 --> 03:40:50,190
Mayor Booster-Monte.

2443
03:40:50,510 --> 03:40:50,790
Yes.

2444
03:40:51,630 --> 03:40:52,030
Thank you.

2445
03:40:56,220 --> 03:40:59,460
That takes us to commission comments there.

2446
03:41:00,240 --> 03:41:02,560
We're going to start with ladies first.

2447
03:41:02,720 --> 03:41:03,500
Madam Vice Mayor.

2448
03:41:03,500 --> 03:41:21,800
No comments as great comments no have one comment. I just wanted to commend city manager city attorney city clerk for the hard work tonight from 4 p.m. to 9.45. Thank you for staying the course.

2449
03:41:22,480 --> 03:41:23,980
Thank you.

2450
03:41:23,980 --> 03:41:24,340
Thank you.

2451
03:41:24,880 --> 03:41:29,700
District, that was District D, District A.

2452
03:41:31,300 --> 03:41:32,460
A few comments.

2453
03:41:34,600 --> 03:41:40,160
Comment one, I also want to thank everyone staying.

2454
03:41:40,720 --> 03:41:42,520
The meeting wasn't as long as I thought it was going to be.

2455
03:41:43,340 --> 03:41:43,760
Kind of good.

2456
03:41:45,240 --> 03:41:47,980
To the manager, I want the number to...

2457
03:41:48,700 --> 03:41:50,420
Is Patreon Village owned by one person?

2458
03:41:50,420 --> 03:41:53,280
or is it kind of owned by a few people?

2459
03:41:54,360 --> 03:41:55,980
All right, we'll talk about that a whole other time.

2460
03:41:56,280 --> 03:41:59,100
That's everything I was going to say kind of a little bit.

2461
03:41:59,660 --> 03:42:03,520
City manager also, the community academy,

2462
03:42:03,800 --> 03:42:04,860
community academy.

2463
03:42:07,540 --> 03:42:10,880
Also, I was in communication with the young man

2464
03:42:10,880 --> 03:42:14,220
about the basketball courts getting shade.

2465
03:42:14,940 --> 03:42:17,200
Just want to follow up on that comment again.

2466
03:42:17,500 --> 03:42:18,140
I know it'll be product.

2467
03:42:18,840 --> 03:42:35,020
the basketball, community academy, and District A, we're going to meet, and we've got to meet soon, because you have a few items to talk about, and so we'll be in contact, make sure we have that meeting, that town hall meeting.

2468
03:42:36,020 --> 03:42:37,040
That's all my comments, thank you.

2469
03:42:38,460 --> 03:42:40,760
Okay, thank you, District B.

2470
03:42:42,840 --> 03:43:04,980
Yes, I just want to thank Mr. Mike for the work he's been doing talking about the Ali on 61st and 441 which is became that became a really, really nice work.

2471
03:43:06,400 --> 03:43:11,400
The officers, sheriff officers, they've been doing on that place.

2472
03:43:12,140 --> 03:43:17,700
Thank you very much for that hard work you guys did on that place.

2473
03:43:18,040 --> 03:43:22,580
We needed, we really needed because we have all kind of people there all the time.

2474
03:43:22,840 --> 03:43:27,200
And as you guys know, saw all kind of stuff in there.

2475
03:43:27,900 --> 03:43:29,600
And right now looks clean.

2476
03:43:30,520 --> 03:43:31,420
Thank you very much.

2477
03:43:31,420 --> 03:43:41,440
And Mike, Miss Tanya, for the art structure in 17th Street,

2478
03:43:42,480 --> 03:43:48,540
I hear really, really good things from some residents about that work.

2479
03:43:49,080 --> 03:43:53,320
I mean, like I told you guys yesterday, I hear from a couple guys.

2480
03:43:53,900 --> 03:44:00,960
They don't like the art, but I hear from a lot more residents saying good things

2481
03:44:00,960 --> 03:44:04,960
about that. Thank you very much. That's all what I have. Thank you.

2482
03:44:05,220 --> 03:44:12,020
Mr. May, if I could real quick, you know, the Commissioner mentioned to work on the

2483
03:44:12,020 --> 03:44:19,340
alleys, and so it really wouldn't have been possible without the Commissioner.

2484
03:44:19,680 --> 03:44:25,920
A couple of his employees and a couple residents. He called in asking if I could go

2485
03:44:25,920 --> 03:44:34,520
out there and I went out there and he was knee deep in garbage and leaves and he had

2486
03:44:34,520 --> 03:44:41,800
his staff that he paid for to trim trees and so on and they did an amazing job.

2487
03:44:42,760 --> 03:44:50,420
And so while we appreciate you thanking us you should be recognized publicly for what

2488
03:44:50,420 --> 03:44:59,180
you did because you you led by example and you you got your employees and it was funny

2489
03:44:59,180 --> 03:44:59,920
I swear to you, I swear to you.

2490
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:29,800
As I said, he said you guys finished work early and he made you come out here. And they thought that was kind of funny, but no, they, they, and, and you did an amazing job. And the drug needles and the other items that they were able to uncover just by moving a little bit of brush was very eye opening. And so we've redoubled our efforts by the sheriff's office and by the city to make sure that that area remains clean. We have pickup crews.

2491
03:45:29,800 --> 03:45:34,740
seven days a week going in to make sure it's clean. We've posted the no

2492
03:45:34,740 --> 03:45:40,780
trespassing signs so if the sheriff's deputies or city staff or residents see

2493
03:45:40,780 --> 03:45:45,340
anybody on that property other than walking on the sidewalk all they need to do

2494
03:45:45,340 --> 03:45:48,880
is call the police and those folks first time we'll get a trespass warning

2495
03:45:48,880 --> 03:45:53,200
second time will be arrested and so we're gonna make every effort to clean up

2496
03:45:53,200 --> 03:45:57,900
the property and keep a clean. There's also a piece of property on the south side

2497
03:45:57,900 --> 03:46:02,100
of that sidewalk that we're trying to work with the owner of the property to see if he

2498
03:46:02,100 --> 03:46:08,700
would donate it to us. It's not really usable for anything. And so it's an expense to him.

2499
03:46:09,260 --> 03:46:14,540
And so we're seeing if he would be willing to donate that to us that we could maybe, you

2500
03:46:14,540 --> 03:46:19,260
know, secure that a little bit better. So commission or at some point we may need you

2501
03:46:19,260 --> 03:46:25,740
to help us with that person. But right now everybody is in there and we're making

2502
03:46:25,740 --> 03:46:38,080
never but I wanted to make sure that we thank the Commissioner and his employees and and I believe Doug who was out there to you know who did an amazing job the

2503
03:46:42,620 --> 03:46:43,520

2505
03:46:58,240 --> 03:47:02,340

2506
03:47:02,480 --> 03:47:03,180
Thanks so much.

2507
03:47:03,360 --> 03:47:03,760
You're welcome.

2508
03:47:03,800 --> 03:47:04,060
Okay.

2509
03:47:04,140 --> 03:47:06,340
That takes us to Mayor's comment there.

2510
03:47:06,980 --> 03:47:21,560
First I want to thank our, let me say Mr. Neal for his assistance to the resident at 7-4-1-6

2511
03:47:21,560 --> 03:47:27,580
Southwest 76 the swollen and grass and the whole department because the

2512
03:47:27,580 --> 03:47:30,820
resident was here it's first time I mean I've been talking to her means how

2513
03:47:30,820 --> 03:47:39,230
I have not really seen her since before election there but I'm glad as you

2514
03:47:39,230 --> 03:47:44,310
were able to do that and the department we visited there and she had a great

2515
03:47:44,310 --> 03:47:49,370
work to say tonight I believe so so we appreciate that and the whole team with

2516
03:47:49,370 --> 03:47:59,190
you. Also administration for supporting us with that. I also want to thank all the staff

2517
03:47:59,190 --> 03:48:04,850
for being with us tonight. It's a long day and I know you got to be here again early

2518
03:48:04,850 --> 03:48:12,490
in the morning. So lunch is on to the manager as usual. Law enforcement, I want to thank

2519
03:48:12,490 --> 03:48:18,510
Thank you for assesions and arms for being here with us on the whole building there.

2520
03:48:20,430 --> 03:48:28,250
City Magger, I just want to have a brief report brief brief brief because it was posted

2521
03:48:28,250 --> 03:48:35,130
on Southwest 81st, no longer in the avenue basically, that the culvert work would be done

2522
03:48:35,130 --> 03:48:40,150
by 728 but we know it's probably not possible, it's not finished, if you just have an update

2523
03:48:40,150 --> 03:48:47,010
briefly and also be ready for that because some of the residents in that

2524
03:48:47,010 --> 03:48:53,810
neighborhood also are still looking for GC, DC parts in the light because it's

2525
03:48:53,810 --> 03:48:58,910
real dark and nice so any update very soon if you have for them in this area.

2526
03:48:59,350 --> 03:49:06,930
I admit the easiest update the shelter was supposedly left shipping Monday and so

2527
03:49:06,930 --> 03:49:12,650
So it should be here relatively in the next few days and then installation will begin.

2528
03:49:12,910 --> 03:49:13,510
Okay, no problem.

2529
03:49:13,790 --> 03:49:18,870
And then so once that's done, we'll work on lighting for the shelter and then the

2530
03:49:18,870 --> 03:49:21,030
other parts of the project to wrap that up.

2531
03:49:21,150 --> 03:49:21,430
Okay.

2532
03:49:21,950 --> 03:49:29,430
For the 81st, the culvert briefly is the date postponed so because we have a new completion

2533
03:49:29,430 --> 03:49:29,730
date.

2534
03:49:44,870 --> 03:49:48,910
We'll get a time frame and we'll post it, we'll have them change their signs.

2535
03:49:48,910 --> 03:49:54,990
Okay, after the 28 to reflect. Right, right, right. I had a feeling be based on the compasses with those working there daddy

2536
03:49:54,990 --> 03:49:59,210
It might be extended a little bit more as far as the stabilization

2537
03:50:04,020 --> 03:50:29,980
We are continuing on a daily basis to stabilize the canals throughout the city. And so, um, we're about a month into that project. And in September, we will have be almost three months into that project. And we look forward to sharing your report and some current pictures of where we are. Some of the issues that we're dealing with in canals, right? Because of the, you know, it is, you know, some of the

2538
03:50:29,980 --> 03:50:33,900
the appearance of the cows is because of some of the work that's being done in the canals

2539
03:50:33,900 --> 03:50:38,440
as part of the stabilization. So, you know, they say you have to break a few eggs to make

2540
03:50:38,440 --> 03:50:45,100
a cake. But it is on schedule. We went out today. I went out with the Public Works Director

2541
03:50:45,100 --> 03:50:53,220
today. And a lot of our canals are still extremely low. And in particular, the ones off of

2542
03:50:53,960 --> 03:50:58,880
and so there is more muck than water.

2543
03:50:59,540 --> 03:51:04,380
And the water no longer even comes to the road wall.

2544
03:51:05,540 --> 03:51:08,120
The water is probably a good like 10 feet back from that.

2545
03:51:08,300 --> 03:51:12,960
So we are in a desperate need of rain.

2546
03:51:13,360 --> 03:51:15,980
So a nice soft rain, not storm rain.

2547
03:51:16,600 --> 03:51:20,800
But we are working to try and get those fixed.

2548
03:51:20,800 --> 03:51:25,520
then I know that public works director reached out to a private contractor that maybe could

2549
03:51:26,100 --> 03:51:30,920
has some different type of equipment than we do that maybe could get in and do some work

2550
03:51:30,920 --> 03:51:35,740
in those can house so we will share once we get some information on that but we will share

2551
03:51:35,740 --> 03:51:41,100
a full report in September all right thank you you know thank you very much and unless

2552
03:51:41,100 --> 03:51:48,920
Yes, I'm not sure it will be on the 9th, it's the same, several things will happen.

2553
03:51:50,100 --> 03:51:56,920
First, see the manager mentioned the U.S. citizenship from in the morning, but at the

2554
03:51:56,920 --> 03:52:04,940
same time, this is the moment that we're going to have closure for the six family members

2555
03:52:04,940 --> 03:52:11,900
who passed away would die into the tragic accident last month.

2556
03:52:14,820 --> 03:52:19,800
It's going to happen the same date, trying to see how we can make it there.

2557
03:52:20,440 --> 03:52:24,880
It's a memory service. I don't even have the whole full information yet, but this isn't going to happen.

2558
03:52:25,360 --> 03:52:33,260
as well as for myself, my daughter's father, we're going to be doing the memorial here in

2559
03:52:33,260 --> 03:52:36,320
Sydney, I mean, not Sydney, but in North Florida, that's true.

2560
03:52:37,680 --> 03:52:40,840
We're always probably at night, at night, we believe so.

2561
03:52:41,180 --> 03:52:44,700
But just to let all those three events will happen here.

2562
03:52:45,760 --> 03:52:51,640
And with this, I want to leave it, if we stay a little longer, it's going to be up to the

2563
03:52:51,640 --> 03:52:58,180
city clerk and city attorney. If you have any comments city clerk. No comments. Good

2564
03:52:58,180 --> 03:53:04,460
comment. City attorney. No comments. Good comment. With this city, city manager, our next

2565
03:53:04,460 --> 03:53:11,760
meeting for the public is going to be on our next commission meeting is Tuesday, September

2566
03:53:11,760 --> 03:53:20,920
the 9th. Workshop will be at 4 o'clock and the commission meeting will be at 6. Okay. If

2567
03:53:20,920 --> 03:53:23,940
If we could make a little, we're gonna make, try to make a little, we'll discuss that

2568
03:53:23,940 --> 03:53:28,580
a little adjustment about, about, uh, work shop, so we'll discuss that in private as

2569
03:53:28,580 --> 03:53:28,760
fine.

2570
03:53:29,060 --> 03:53:29,280
No problem.

2571
03:53:29,400 --> 03:53:33,620
Uh, with that said, uh, we hope everybody has a safe trip and safe.

2572
03:53:33,980 --> 03:53:36,480
Ms. Mayor, we have a water control district meeting.

2573
03:53:36,860 --> 03:53:40,480
Oh, the water, the water control district should take about a minute.

2574
03:53:40,760 --> 03:53:41,040
A minute.

2575
03:53:41,300 --> 03:53:41,440
Okay.

2576
03:53:41,700 --> 03:53:45,940
The, the commission already set the maximum assessment rate.

2577
03:53:46,140 --> 03:53:46,360
Yes.

2578
03:53:46,360 --> 03:53:51,680
Yes, when we advertised that way, we advertised, there was a script in it, we said the meeting

2579
03:53:51,680 --> 03:53:56,440
was going to be on Thursday, September 11th, but it has to be Friday, September 12th.

2580
03:53:56,600 --> 03:54:00,900
Okay, so what I'm going to close it up right now, why don't we, okay, this meeting is adjourned,

2581
03:54:00,920 --> 03:54:02,900
everybody drives to see if those who are not going to be here.
