12
00:01:25,089 --> 00:01:25,089
lie not founded the parkland historical society with the

13
00:01:29,694 --> 00:01:32,964
intent f retaining our city's early history, and documenting things as they happened moving forward.  In january of 2009,

buck hold retired and jeff schwarts became the new

15
00:01:47,445 --> 00:01:50,582
president.  Jeff led the historical society in the creation, placement, installation and dedication of

00:01:54,986 --> 00:01:54,986
historical portals placed in our parks and along our walkways and

17
00:02:07,465 --> 00:02:07,465
bicycle paths.  Classic car show, the follow year and

00:02:12,937 --> 00:02:12,937
coverage by car show tv helping to highlight the beauty of our

19
00:02:20,145 --> 00:02:20,145
city.  Legacy of dr. John homburg.  And that with the help

20
00:02:26,684 --> 00:02:26,684
of james wise, the schwartz' published the history of our

21
00:02:33,692 --> 00:02:33,692
city.  In 2014 and 2015, they were part of the team that

22
00:02:43,701 --> 00:02:43,701
discovered the ark keylogical sign.  Art facts and their

23
00:02:48,706 --> 00:02:48,706
display at the parkland library. During our city as saddest

24
00:02:53,378 --> 00:02:53,378
moments jeff co-led a team along with myself at the pine mills

25
00:03:00,185 --> 00:03:00,185
park and outside the douglas high school to move, collect,

26
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:04,790
transport and store keep sake memorial items left by the

27
00:03:12,063 --> 00:03:15,199
victims of the tragedy.  For 12 years they have volunteered their time to preserve the history of the city they love.

28
00:03:21,739 --> 00:03:24,476
they are commitment and work will be sorely missed but few have earned the retirement ahead of them.  Jeff and judy, on

29
00:03:32,617 --> 00:03:36,354
behalf of this city, company committee and all the residents we thank you very much. >>  (applause).

30
00:04:18,264 --> 00:04:18,264
>>  okay.  Now we have a proclamation for autism

31
00:04:22,868 --> 00:04:22,868
awareness month.  Where as autism spectrum disorder is a

32
00:04:27,473 --> 00:04:27,473
neurological and developmental disorder that effects

33
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:33,880
communication and behavior, and where as symptoms of autism may

34
00:04:41,888 --> 00:04:41,888
provide themselves in variety of symptoms, in an individual's

35
00:04:47,027 --> 00:04:47,027
ability to learn, and understand verbal and nonverbal

36
00:04:51,431 --> 00:04:55,368
communication, and in the center of disease control and intervention, reportings that one in 9 school-aged children

37
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:01,040
have identified with autism spectrum disorder.  People

38
00:05:05,178 --> 00:05:05,178
living with autism have access to life long care and services

39
00:05:09,849 --> 00:05:09,849
needed to pursue their full potential and happiness.  And

40
00:05:14,654 --> 00:05:14,654
parkland is happy to take part in the annual autism awareness

41
00:05:19,593 --> 00:05:22,929
month and day in the hopes that it will lead to a better understanding of this disorder, and the city of parkland is

42
00:05:28,335 --> 00:05:31,071
formerly undertaking an initiative in collaboration with the university of miami.  For autism and related disabilities.

43
00:05:35,276 --> 00:05:35,276
to ensure residents and visitors with autism are served as best

44
00:05:40,881 --> 00:05:40,881
as possible.  Be it resolved that my mayor walker hereby

45
00:05:48,756 --> 00:05:48,756
proclaim, april 2021 autism awareness month in the city of

46
00:05:53,227 --> 00:05:53,227
parkland.  Now we go to comments from the public on non-agenda

47
00:05:58,833 --> 00:05:58,833
items, do we have any speakers? >>  I have a speaker, jason.

48
00:06:03,971 --> 00:06:03,971
>>  jason. >>  how's it going, jason.

49
00:06:08,442 --> 00:06:08,442
>>  good, name and address for the record.

50
00:06:12,846 --> 00:06:12,846
>>  jason, 9640.  I'm the board president at the landings.

51
00:06:22,189 --> 00:06:22,189
we've been following closely on working with teresa price in

52
00:06:30,732 --> 00:06:30,732
reference to dot project, 465461-1.  A widening of

53
00:06:43,945 --> 00:06:43,945
university drive south of homeburg.  Proposing a

54
00:06:49,751 --> 00:06:53,554
$6 million university drive.  It also includes the corner, making changes to the corner of homburg and university.  Right on the

55
00:07:00,096 --> 00:07:00,096
corner of our community.  This takes away a bike lane it takes

56
00:07:05,834 --> 00:07:05,834
away a buffer in between our community and university drive.

57
00:07:11,306 --> 00:07:11,306
quite frankly, we think it's a cleatly unnecessary expansion of

58
00:07:15,710 --> 00:07:15,710
of that entrance every single  - day, multiple times a day, and

59
00:07:22,318 --> 00:07:25,454
we are never stitting there waiting for so much as a minute to be able to pull out.  We requested with the department of

60
00:07:31,459 --> 00:07:31,459
transportation that they rereview the traffic patterns on

61
00:07:36,265 --> 00:07:36,265
university post-covid to see if it still warrants such an

62
00:07:40,336 --> 00:07:40,336
expansion.  Now, I know that there's a only so much the city

63
00:07:46,408 --> 00:07:46,408
can do that that section of university is a county property,

64
00:07:53,216 --> 00:07:53,216
but, louder voices are better than no voices.  And the

65
00:07:59,221 --> 00:08:02,158
landings wants to go on the record of being completely against this project and we ask that the city do everything we

66
00:08:07,630 --> 00:08:07,630
can to help vocalize this and fight for this not to be part of

67
00:08:13,836 --> 00:08:13,836
the project. >>  thank you.

68
00:08:17,974 --> 00:08:17,974
>>  anyone else that would like to speak on a nonagenda item.

69
00:08:23,245 --> 00:08:23,245
seeing as there's no one else from the public, we'll go to the

70
00:08:28,184 --> 00:08:31,321
commission t start with commissioner isrow. >>  thank you, mayor, good evening everybody.  I wanted to

71
00:08:35,926 --> 00:08:35,926
focus my comments this evening on a very special experience

72
00:08:41,599 --> 00:08:41,599
that most of us all but shared over the past weekend which was

73
00:08:45,868 --> 00:08:45,868
getting the opportunity to be with our local fire-fighters and

74
00:08:50,674 --> 00:08:53,810
ems and participate in their fire op it is training.  I know that may not sound like something worthy of an entire

75
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:57,480
comment but it was.  And I want to relay why, which is one, I

76
00:09:02,418 --> 00:09:02,418
think many people take for granted what law enforcement and

77
00:09:09,892 --> 00:09:09,892
health and rescue do, because it's one of those things that's

78
00:09:14,631 --> 00:09:17,902
always there.  It's something that's kind of a known thing, that whether you see it on your day oh day experience or not,

79
00:09:21,571 --> 00:09:21,571
it's there.  But to be able to go behind the scenes and get a

80
00:09:26,378 --> 00:09:26,378
deeper dive into what it is that mees men and women do everyday,

81
00:09:30,648 --> 00:09:34,250
and the actual risk they take in the name of keeping our city safe is really an extraordinary thing.  And I wanted to really

82
00:09:38,655 --> 00:09:41,858
just take the opportunity to one, thank you for everything you do, and two, also thank our city because it shows that the

83
00:09:46,730 --> 00:09:50,468
amount that we've invested in the safety and health of our city.  This isn't just a run of the mill department.  It is an

84
00:09:56,607 --> 00:09:56,607
award winning, top of the line, extremely well run and to the

85
00:10:01,212 --> 00:10:01,212
point that it's not just the work they do, it's how they do

86
00:10:05,282 --> 00:10:05,282
it.  You know, everyone who I spoke with there was passionate

87
00:10:09,821 --> 00:10:13,758
about their job and the city of parkland, and the relationship with coral springs.  And the comradery they all shared was

88
00:10:18,763 --> 00:10:22,299
incredible to see and I think all of us are very fortunate whether we acknowledge it everyday or not, to have them

89
00:10:24,702 --> 00:10:26,971
looking after us.  I want to take the time to again, thank you for the experience, I'm not going to go so far as to say,

90
00:10:30,842 --> 00:10:30,842
especially with both of you here, whether the training was

91
00:10:34,913 --> 00:10:34,913
better than bso's active fire shooting training, but, I really

92
00:10:40,651 --> 00:10:40,651
just wanted to convey my sincere apreciation.  I will have a

93
00:10:46,124 --> 00:10:49,194
totally now found perspective, and in fact, just the other day, it hit me, driving home from work, I saw on 441, a bad

94
00:10:57,269 --> 00:11:00,805
accident, and I saw a fire truck with a number of ambulances there,  the normal thing you do, look going by and I saw there

95
00:11:06,411 --> 00:11:06,411
was an air compressor, which I actually learned they were using

96
00:11:11,549 --> 00:11:14,686
the jaws of life to remove people from a car.  These are people that signed up for a job not just for a paycheck but

97
00:11:19,291 --> 00:11:21,760
because they truly believe in the mission of helping and making sure that our people are safe in our community.  I think

98
00:11:24,697 --> 00:11:28,167
we all recognize that it's very rare for people to get the behind the scenes look, but I'm grateful for it and thank you

99
00:11:31,570 --> 00:11:33,905
for everything you do.  That's my comment. >>  well said, commissioner isrow.

100
00:11:37,777 --> 00:11:37,777
>>  commissioner brier? >>  sure.  Thank you, mayor.

101
00:11:41,847 --> 00:11:41,847
I'll let go of some of commissioner isrow's comments as

102
00:11:54,727 --> 00:11:57,862
well.  They deserve all the recognition in the world.  I want to thank our city for continuing to recognize the

103
00:12:04,603 --> 00:12:07,874
autism those who are in the autism community, autism awareness month is all over the nation, but our city is taking

104
00:12:12,211 --> 00:12:12,211
an inordinate effort to become an autism-friendly city.  And to

105
00:12:17,016 --> 00:12:20,353
those watching for the first time, realizing that it's something that I'm very proud of with the city of parkland.

106
00:12:24,624 --> 00:12:28,228
today and everyday we wear blue in support of those with autism but especially in parkland where we have a heart and genuine

107
00:12:32,632 --> 00:12:35,836
passion for making parkland an autism friendly city.  I would like to remind all of our residents that we have upcoming

108
00:12:39,705 --> 00:12:43,376
farmer's market including the business expo.  I would like to thank your city staff, our parks and rec department for the

109
00:12:49,249 --> 00:12:49,249
amazing events that were last weekend for the extravaganza and

110
00:12:54,454 --> 00:12:54,454
the drive-in.  It is, every time to hear from a resident who has

111
00:13:00,460 --> 00:13:00,460
attended one of these events, it brings home the notion we're a

112
00:13:04,931 --> 00:13:08,668
big town with a small-town heart.  With the sense of community from the people who at

113
00:13:13,873 --> 00:13:15,876
att attended there,  I understand there was one non-resident. Parkland is a special place even

114
00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:22,616
considered against other communities in broward and I think we need to continue doing what we're doing, maybe turn up

115
00:13:27,488 --> 00:13:27,488
the volume at times cans but continuing to showcase the heart

116
00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:34,427
and sense of community that we have here in parkland because I think it's second to none.  So, with that, I thank the staff for

117
00:13:37,965 --> 00:13:41,436
all they're doing. >>  thank you, commissioner brier. >>  thank you mayor.

118
00:13:49,843 --> 00:13:49,843
>>  vice mayor mayersohn? >>  I just want to mention the

119
00:13:54,581 --> 00:13:54,581
passing of congressman alsee hastings.  His advocacy civil

120
00:14:05,527 --> 00:14:08,930
action and engagement will be forever embedded in our community especially in south florida.  I always found the

121
00:14:13,334 --> 00:14:13,334
congressman to be welcome, warm, and approachable, although his

122
00:14:18,139 --> 00:14:21,877
legacy will be left, his leadership will be certainly missed.  He was a great man with a tremendous history.  Again,

123
00:14:29,550 --> 00:14:29,550
echoing the same sentiments with autism and awareness month.  I

124
00:14:34,623 --> 00:14:38,226
encourage if anybody wants to see a model of business that employs people with autism, I would go to the rising tide car

125
00:14:43,765 --> 00:14:47,234
wash.  Not only do they do a great job with employing people with autism, but they do a great job washing your car.  It's

126
00:14:52,907 --> 00:14:52,907
also, I guess the mayor said in the monthly comments that you

127
00:14:57,379 --> 00:14:57,379
make in the magazine's newspapers, it is child abuse

128
00:15:01,582 --> 00:15:01,582
prevention month.  Very important, I've learned from

129
00:15:05,787 --> 00:15:05,787
doing my guardian add light item braining, it's something that

130
00:15:13,796 --> 00:15:13,796
can be preventible with a lot of training, as far as mental

131
00:15:18,667 --> 00:15:21,802
health and things out there. So, it's definitely something that we need to recognize.  I did attend movie night in the

132
00:15:25,874 --> 00:15:25,874
park. It was surprisingly well attended.  Especially during

133
00:15:30,613 --> 00:15:30,613
spring break again, staff doing a fantastic job as well as the

134
00:15:41,290 --> 00:15:41,290
drive-in extravaganza.  I want to echo what the commissioner

135
00:15:45,896 --> 00:15:49,631
said with regard to fire-fighter training, I think he and I were the only one that is went into the fire.  But, chief, you guys

136
00:15:53,368 --> 00:15:53,368
do an amazing job, I know this was my second training that I've

137
00:15:57,438 --> 00:15:57,438
had and certaily being a seasoned veteran, you learn more

138
00:16:01,843 --> 00:16:04,447
and more every time you go through it, so thank you guys for putting that on.  I do want to congratulate coach roundtree.

139
00:16:14,656 --> 00:16:14,656
she was named the soccer coach of the year.  For those of you

140
00:16:19,461 --> 00:16:19,461
who know coach roundtree, it's certainly we will deserved.

141
00:16:25,135 --> 00:16:25,135
this morning we had a chamber meeting and career source

142
00:16:32,542 --> 00:16:36,479
broward also had got in front of us in talking about opportunities for employment and businesses being able to utilize

143
00:16:40,816 --> 00:16:40,816
career source as a source for interns, or even, staff that

144
00:16:48,223 --> 00:16:48,223
they might need.  And congratulations to doug eaten

145
00:16:54,630 --> 00:16:54,630
who is now the chamber chair elect.  I reminder it's national

146
00:16:59,969 --> 00:16:59,969
library week, and I believe the library is waiving fines in

147
00:17:05,774 --> 00:17:05,774
exchange for canned goods or non-parishable items, I think

148
00:17:10,648 --> 00:17:10,648
for every item you bring it it's a dollar off of our fees.  I

149
00:17:17,788 --> 00:17:17,788
promoted the story walk that we did as well as clues in the

150
00:17:24,727 --> 00:17:24,727
park.  Both programs engage our youth to develop speech and

151
00:17:35,406 --> 00:17:38,676
languag skills as well as critical thinking skills.  "amy woo and the patcpatchwork dragon".  One

152
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:55,960
the things that was brought up was the increase or proposed

153
00:18:01,099 --> 00:18:01,099
increase that fpnl is going to be providing it's about a 15%

154
00:18:08,638 --> 00:18:08,638
increase, every four years, fpnl can petition the florida public

155
00:18:15,513 --> 00:18:15,513
for a rate increase.  Their last rate increase was 2016.  Just

156
00:18:20,118 --> 00:18:20,118
again, some highlights, the increase would be faced in,

157
00:18:24,456 --> 00:18:24,456
therefore customers would see a rate increase from 3.6% annually

158
00:18:32,663 --> 00:18:32,663
from 2022 to 2025.  The rate increase helped pay for the

159
00:18:38,602 --> 00:18:38,602
$29 billion that fpnl invested in the four-year period from

160
00:18:44,675 --> 00:18:44,675
2019 to 2022.  This obviously improves as much as reliability,

161
00:18:49,814 --> 00:18:49,814
reduced emissions, improves fuel generation efficiency and reduce

162
00:18:56,621 --> 00:18:56,621
power outages during severe weather.  The increases that

163
00:19:01,026 --> 00:19:01,026
they are proposing, I would, and I guess I would refer to nancy

164
00:19:06,297 --> 00:19:06,297
as maybe fpnl can provide us information whether through a

165
00:19:11,836 --> 00:19:15,774
workshop or come to a commission meeting as well as if they have any information just to let residents know this increase is

166
00:19:18,510 --> 00:19:18,510
coming forward.  So, those are may comments.

167
00:19:24,917 --> 00:19:24,917
>>> thank you, vice mayor. Commissioner cutler.

168
00:19:29,054 --> 00:19:29,054
>>  thank you, mayor, I will reiterate what my fellow

169
00:19:34,726 --> 00:19:37,797
commissioners have said.  You guys have taken most of the stuff, in regards to the fire-fighter thing, that's the

170
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:41,800
second time I've hadm to do tha and it was incredible.  And as

171
00:19:51,477 --> 00:19:51,477
always I want to express that the men and women who serve us

172
00:19:56,682 --> 00:20:00,219
are heros in what they do and what they have to do and how difficult and demanding it is. My hat's off to you in that

173
00:20:05,891 --> 00:20:05,891
regard.  One other thing I would add is that tomorrow I will be

174
00:20:10,229 --> 00:20:10,229
representing the city at the hillsboro pinpineland natural a

175
00:20:17,570 --> 00:20:17,570
where they will be renaming it as the christian jacobs natural

176
00:20:27,780 --> 00:20:27,780
area.  We want everybody to know how much we support the proposal

177
00:20:32,051 --> 00:20:32,051
to rename the hills borrow pineland natural area for her 16

178
00:20:41,127 --> 00:20:41,127
years of service to broward county as commissioner

179
00:20:45,598 --> 00:20:45,598
dedication.  Provide prominent and lasting recognition of her

180
00:20:49,868 --> 00:20:53,272
environmental leadership to the residents they representing. Given the maybe features of the specific programs and

181
00:21:04,484 --> 00:21:04,484
principals.  The many lists of impactful environmental

182
00:21:08,622 --> 00:21:08,622
initiatives led by her will undictedly provide lasting

183
00:21:13,293 --> 00:21:15,896
positive benefits for all in broward county, and it's just down the street from our city. It would be a great honor for

184
00:21:19,499 --> 00:21:19,499
those who knew her and effected by her tireless efforts to

185
00:21:24,037 --> 00:21:24,037
recognize her legacy of service by the renaming one of broward

186
00:21:31,511 --> 00:21:35,182
county's unique areas.  I want to express to her family and friends that I want this renaming to bring them peace and

187
00:21:38,585 --> 00:21:38,585
comfort.  May the park in it's natural state serve as a beak

188
00:21:51,866 --> 00:21:55,403
beacon and may all of the memories of herb a blessing to you.  Those are my comments. >>  thank you very much,

189
00:22:00,541 --> 00:22:03,877
commissioner.  Well said for christian jacobs and thank you for representing the city tomorrow.  I have a few

190
00:22:06,614 --> 00:22:09,282
comments, obviously you guys made most of them.  The fire opes training had a lot of fun. No, I did not go into the burn

191
00:22:13,354 --> 00:22:13,354
because I did not want to shave my beard, so the fire department

192
00:22:19,894 --> 00:22:19,894
has weird rules, you can't have people with beards, I would be

193
00:22:24,566 --> 00:22:24,566
hard pressed to be a fire-fighter.  But kudos, you

194
00:22:30,838 --> 00:22:33,707
guys showed it's impressive and I appreciate everything you guys do and thank you for having us. I hope everybody had a great

195
00:22:37,779 --> 00:22:41,715
easter and passover, I'm really looking forward to strategic planning this coming weekend, it's a lot of fun, and it gives

196
00:22:45,387 --> 00:22:48,255
us the opportunity as commissioners to talk about what we hear from the residents of what they want, how they would

197
00:22:52,193 --> 00:22:52,193
like to see the city and it really gives us, you know, that

198
00:22:56,664 --> 00:23:00,469
opportunity, to engage with staff and kind of project a little bit how we see the city moving forward.  So, I'm looking

199
00:23:04,940 --> 00:23:04,940
forward to that extremely.  As commissioner brier said, we got

200
00:23:10,411 --> 00:23:10,411
the business well, the farmer's market is sunday.  And then, on

201
00:23:14,416 --> 00:23:14,416
the 25th, would be the business expo that's any parkland brick

202
00:23:22,625 --> 00:23:22,625
and mortar business is free. Any business is free, but

203
00:23:27,095 --> 00:23:29,831
parkland brick and mortar businesses are free.  Just go on our website and sign up to do that.  Just, a couple of quick

204
00:23:36,304 --> 00:23:36,304
little updates object lenar. Just to make sure we continue to

205
00:23:45,781 --> 00:23:45,781
try to keep the residents informed so you know we're

206
00:23:50,453 --> 00:23:54,123
always working towards bettering the city and bettering your experience.  Some quick updates. We reached out to fpnl, I know

207
00:24:01,730 --> 00:24:01,730
there were light issues in taskada but we reached out

208
00:24:07,937 --> 00:24:11,074
directly and we did have communication with them, they've been working very hard and they've been on site, they

209
00:24:13,810 --> 00:24:17,280
understand how important we see this as a city that they get this project finished.  So they're doing everything they

210
00:24:21,417 --> 00:24:21,417
can, the signs, I saw them the other day, they were replaced,

211
00:24:25,687 --> 00:24:25,687
so thankfully that was finally done.  Parkland bay.  We noticed

212
00:24:31,895 --> 00:24:35,365
as a city, there are some stacking issues in the entrances, so we've been dealing with broward county and also

213
00:24:44,441 --> 00:24:44,441
lenar to fix that.  Broward county came up with a solution.

214
00:24:49,914 --> 00:24:49,914
they're adding a secretary security guard with an ipad to

215
00:24:53,916 --> 00:24:53,916
try and speed up the entering of the community.  We addressed

216
00:25:06,463 --> 00:25:06,463
today, a club house the tennis courts, the fences are a

217
00:25:11,668 --> 00:25:15,539
littlely, needless to say, they did jump on that right away so I do appreciate that from them.  I do want to mention doug and

218
00:25:21,345 --> 00:25:24,882
congratulations to him for being the president-elect.  I want to mention the vaccine.  Make sure you guys are out there getting

219
00:25:29,219 --> 00:25:32,556
the vaccine, I was able to get my first shot the other day, I'm excited about that,  looking forward to getting my second

220
00:25:35,626 --> 00:25:39,297
shot soon.  So hopefully you guys are out there getting your shot and to echo all the events, the extravaganza, the movies in

221
00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:48,839
the nights, the farmer's market, we do fantastic events, the

222
00:25:53,778 --> 00:25:57,715
community loves them and we love them and I appreciate the staff on making sure that stuff gets done.  Those are my comments.

223
00:26:01,786 --> 00:26:01,786
so, what do we got now? Actually, one more comment.  I

224
00:26:08,459 --> 00:26:08,459
just want to get a consensus, we got to do a motion to approve.

225
00:26:13,664 --> 00:26:13,664
so, we are potentially adding april 13th as a strategic

226
00:26:19,404 --> 00:26:22,873
planning day.  Right now we have to keep the residents informed, we have sunday, and monday full day strategic planning sessions

227
00:26:29,548 --> 00:26:29,548
currently scheduled.  We're tentively putting april 13th,

228
00:26:36,220 --> 00:26:38,623
but we've already set our schedule so I want to put that out there,  I guess we should do a motion to add the 13th as a

229
00:26:44,696 --> 00:26:48,232
tentative date, it's not in stone, but in case we run over, because we have a lot to talk about, so we just wanted to have

230
00:26:52,036 --> 00:26:55,240
that third day in there,  so anthony? >>  I agree, mayor, my understanding was the schedule

231
00:27:00,045 --> 00:27:00,045
as adopted as a motion t so if you're going to add that, a

232
00:27:04,449 --> 00:27:07,319
motion is sufficient. >>  can I get a motion. >>  motion. >>  so moved.

233
00:27:10,255 --> 00:27:13,057
>>  I guess we'll do all in favor. >>  aye. >>  show that it passes

234
00:27:16,394 --> 00:27:20,065
unanimously.  We'll go to approval of the agenda. >>  motion to approve. >>  second.

235
00:27:21,866 --> 00:27:21,866
>>  we have a motion to approve by commissioner isrow and a

236
00:27:30,410 --> 00:27:30,410
second by commissioner cutler. >>  all in favor?

237
00:27:36,482 --> 00:27:36,482

00:27:41,352 --> 00:27:43,489

292
00:33:14,796 --> 00:33:15,595
corporation. >>  that's it? >>  okay.  So, I just want to talk a little about this

293
00:33:23,005 --> 00:33:26,941
particular round about to give a hill history of this round about here.  So, from, you know from time to time we like to give

294
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,217
updates so people understand what's going on.  These processes do take some time. So, this process kicked off with

295
00:33:42,023 --> 00:33:42,023
a citywide traffic stud in july of 2018.  A consultant was

296
00:33:49,230 --> 00:33:49,230
identified, the intersection as a location for traffic backup

297
00:33:55,704 --> 00:33:55,704
during rush hours.  Anybody traveling on university knows

298
00:34:01,309 --> 00:34:01,309
the issues we have.  One solution proposed was to add a

299
00:34:09,050 --> 00:34:09,050
lane.  Broward county has to improve all improvements to our

300
00:34:14,123 --> 00:34:14,123
road ways, and they did approve that solution but requested the

301
00:34:20,129 --> 00:34:20,129
removal of the a stop sign. People on university would be

302
00:34:25,067 --> 00:34:28,270
speeding, down university.  So that's obviously something that are you know, the city thought could potentially be dangerous.

303
00:34:32,141 --> 00:34:32,141
is so, then that's when the city started to look at adding a

304
00:34:37,279 --> 00:34:37,279
round about.  The city then began working with toll brothers

305
00:34:44,086 --> 00:34:46,489
who built the country club community and were nearing the end of their work.  So by september of 2020 toll brothers

306
00:34:53,229 --> 00:34:57,099
would be free of any financial obligations and the burden would fall totally to the residents. So the city secured nearly

307
00:35:01,704 --> 00:35:01,704
$500,000 from toll brothers to off set future improvements to

308
00:35:07,509 --> 00:35:07,509
that intersection.  This was key to ensure a much needed safety

309
00:35:13,249 --> 00:35:13,249
improvement to this high profile intersection.  The improvement

310
00:35:20,991 --> 00:35:20,991
that be approved tonight, I want to emphasize, due to our

311
00:35:29,199 --> 00:35:29,199
proactive negotiations with toll brothers this will cost the city

312
00:35:37,207 --> 00:35:37,207
$445.  Another critical cost saving element which we approved

313
00:35:42,145 --> 00:35:42,145
at the march 3rd commission meeting was the long-term

314
00:35:49,819 --> 00:35:49,819
maintenance and the water feature, uniformed looked that's

315
00:35:58,763 --> 00:36:01,898
consistent with their community, important to the city, that means we will not bear that financial burden.  Parkland golf

316
00:36:08,038 --> 00:36:08,038
and country club will be maintaining that round about.

317
00:36:12,308 --> 00:36:15,646
so these costs that we spend today, will be the last dollars we should have to spend on that round b I want to thank this

318
00:36:19,783 --> 00:36:22,719
commission and members of our previous commissions to planning and zoning, a lot of work, obviously, city staff.  A lot of

319
00:36:27,391 --> 00:36:27,391
work went into this to make sure that we are providing proper

320
00:36:32,063 --> 00:36:36,000
traffic.  I also want to make sure to thank our residents who weighed it on the preference for the round about, so this round

321
00:36:41,939 --> 00:36:45,142
about that's coming is one that was chosen by our residents.  I think that's important to note that we always value resident's

322
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:49,280
opinion, so we went out with a couple of options for them to

323
00:36:54,018 --> 00:36:57,755
choose from and you know, the commission here didn't choose which round about was going in, that was something chosen by the

324
00:37:02,494 --> 00:37:02,494
residents.  One thing we need to keep in mind when we do the

325
00:37:07,431 --> 00:37:07,431
budgets and strategic planning. City staff does the best they

326
00:37:11,903 --> 00:37:11,903
can to also ensure that they're budgeting on particular

327
00:37:17,108 --> 00:37:20,912
projects.  Sometimes when you put a budget together on a project, it doesn't happen for a couple of years, costs go up,

328
00:37:27,251 --> 00:37:27,251
and it makes it a little difficult.  I don't want to make

329
00:37:32,123 --> 00:37:32,123
it sound as though I'm sticking up for city staff, over the past

330
00:37:36,929 --> 00:37:36,929
year with covid we've seen certainly in the last several

331
00:37:41,198 --> 00:37:41,198
months a dramatic increase in materials, you see it at the gas

332
00:37:45,737 --> 00:37:49,341
station or raw materials, whether it be brick, wood, you know, aluminum.  So there has been a drastic increase in

333
00:37:57,949 --> 00:38:00,686
material cost, that's something that's difficult to see.  I understand how sometimes things come in over budget, this one is

334
00:38:06,291 --> 00:38:09,628
little more than we would like to see.  But some of those costs which we could see, which is in the backup, the stone material,

335
00:38:15,567 --> 00:38:19,438
the landscaping material, those costs have gone up dramatically, because with everybody staying home, a lot of people are

336
00:38:22,575 --> 00:38:22,575
working on their homes, so there are a lot of contributing

337
00:38:28,314 --> 00:38:28,314
factors to that.  I know staff tried very hard to get in on the

338
00:38:34,253 --> 00:38:38,057
budget, this one was one a little more difficult, but the explanations to us, or to me, anyway, made sense and I

339
00:38:43,529 --> 00:38:43,529
appreciate everybody's hard work on that and I think this traffic

340
00:38:49,936 --> 00:38:49,936
circle will be a big plus to the city of parkland, not only will

341
00:38:54,474 --> 00:38:57,276
it help traffic, but it will look very nice.  I'm looking forward to seeing this get started and completed.  Vice

342
00:39:01,213 --> 00:39:04,883
mayor mayersohn? >>  just to echo a little bit of those same sentiments, you also have, I guess in the thumb here,

343
00:39:11,490 --> 00:39:11,490
maintenance of traffic, it's my understanding they're going to

344
00:39:16,162 --> 00:39:16,162
be base cannily there,  24 hours a day because of the

345
00:39:20,166 --> 00:39:23,169
construction of the round about to ensure safety of the residents as they go through that area.  Normally a lot of

346
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:27,240
projects that we do don't have that impact.  It may just be

347
00:39:32,112 --> 00:39:32,112
there,  I know when they've done ma

348
00:39:37,250 --> 00:39:37,250
maintenance on other areas, somebody's out there for 12

349
00:39:41,988 --> 00:39:41,988
hours during construction, this is a more intense project.

350
00:39:47,460 --> 00:39:47,460
>>  I see this as something that will benefit the city, I thank

351
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,936
staff for working on it.  I thank the folks at parkland golf and country club on their board for working with us on the

352
00:40:00,140 --> 00:40:00,140
maintenance.  I think our residents will have to be

353
00:40:04,277 --> 00:40:07,948
patient.  This is going to be worse before it gets better in terms of the traffic while construction is going on, I just

354
00:40:12,620 --> 00:40:12,620
want to make sure we're being patient with that procession.

355
00:40:18,024 --> 00:40:18,024
>>  commissioner cutler. >>  I want to make sure the

356
00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:26,300
numbers are clear.  $445,000. >>  I just wanted to make sure

357
00:40:32,039 --> 00:40:32,039
that was clear because I heard a different number.  I agree,

358
00:40:36,111 --> 00:40:36,111
listen, we're in crazy times, I mean with covid and all the

359
00:40:40,849 --> 00:40:40,849
different moving parts with our economy and everything else, you

360
00:40:45,787 --> 00:40:45,787
know, I understand that the city budgeted $600 and $40,000 for

361
00:40:51,592 --> 00:40:51,592
this, and that this amount of money being asked for is from a

362
00:40:56,063 --> 00:40:59,934
percentage basis, a pretty big increase, but I'm also given to understand based on the materials and what staff has

363
00:41:03,337 --> 00:41:03,337
told me is that they put this out for bid and they got four

364
00:41:07,942 --> 00:41:07,942
separate bids, all of which came in right around the same kind of

365
00:41:12,747 --> 00:41:12,747
numbers.  And so, you know, that's an indication, especially

366
00:41:16,751 --> 00:41:16,751
the way the bidding process works, that's an indication of

367
00:41:21,288 --> 00:41:21,288
what the marketplace will bear for this kind of project.  And

368
00:41:26,894 --> 00:41:26,894
while, I take it very seriously t spending the taxpayer's

369
00:41:31,033 --> 00:41:31,033
dollars on getting projects done, this is a project that

370
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:37,239
will dramatically improve the safety and the traffic levels of

371
00:41:41,243 --> 00:41:41,243
that roadway area.  It was one of the anticipated parts of what

372
00:41:48,650 --> 00:41:51,385
we ultimately were negotiating on when the charter it school was coming in because of questions of what kind of

373
00:41:56,124 --> 00:41:56,124
traffic impact that was going to have and, I think this is really

374
00:42:01,130 --> 00:42:01,130
a necessary moving part for us for traffic flow purposes if

375
00:42:05,602 --> 00:42:05,602
nothing else. >>  and just to reiterate, kudos

376
00:42:10,872 --> 00:42:14,276
to anthony, when you get four bids that close together, that says you did your job right. You put out the rfp so

377
00:42:19,481 --> 00:42:23,218
resighsly, that everyone's bidding the same.  Someone who bids large projects on a continuing basis, a lot of times

378
00:42:28,757 --> 00:42:28,757
you'll see someone at $1 million, somebody at

379
00:42:34,029 --> 00:42:34,029
$500,000, someone at 7 than and $50,000.  It's very rare, to see

380
00:42:39,569 --> 00:42:39,569
four bid, it does happen, but that's kudos to you.  Because

381
00:42:43,706 --> 00:42:43,706
that's totally on the prp process there.

382
00:42:49,979 --> 00:42:52,915
>>  commissioner isrow? >>  my question would be is you made an emphasis in which I also agree with, it was nice to see

383
00:42:57,853 --> 00:43:01,257
the residents got the opportunity to pick the design. I also see the number of these costs associated with the

384
00:43:06,462 --> 00:43:06,462
designs picked.  The question that I raise that these

385
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:10,800
residents who selected this, the alternative is almost within the

386
00:43:14,938 --> 00:43:14,938
budget and doesn't require an additional $300,000 spend, would

387
00:43:19,542 --> 00:43:19,542
they make that same decision. One is have we explored what the

388
00:43:25,148 --> 00:43:25,148
alternative costs would be with the alternative design what that

389
00:43:32,023 --> 00:43:34,824
number is. >>  I believe when we put it out we had the cost associated with that.

390
00:43:38,027 --> 00:43:38,027
>>  for this particular process, we did not get a cost on

391
00:43:44,167 --> 00:43:47,236
alternative design.  We had the residents select the design they favored and we moved forward. Now, in terms of the design cost

392
00:43:51,974 --> 00:43:55,779
versus the actual construction costs, you're looking at 200 plus on the actual construction costs for the feature, the other

393
00:44:00,116 --> 00:44:00,116
feature in the pact, the only elements missing were more the

394
00:44:11,195 --> 00:44:12,064
fo fountain features. >>  I think the other feature had taller pillars, had a

395
00:44:24,742 --> 00:44:26,744
trelace. >>  one of the issues when this was reviewed by planning and zoning, one of the issues that

396
00:44:32,682 --> 00:44:36,153
came up, you had you could have these features or nothing at all.  And when I say nothing atad all, which is just dirt and

397
00:44:41,559 --> 00:44:45,296
landscaping, that was not considered an option.  It was these features that not only planning and zoning wanted but

398
00:44:48,564 --> 00:44:51,368
the community wanted. >>  and planning and zoning, I think at some point we knew that the water feature would cost

399
00:44:56,575 --> 00:44:59,043
more, I don't know if we knew how much more. >>  correct, and realtime key element of that water feature is

400
00:45:05,250 --> 00:45:05,250
parkland golfing community wanted it to be uniform with

401
00:45:09,321 --> 00:45:09,321
their features.  That echos the selection of their choice.  Now,

402
00:45:16,127 --> 00:45:16,127
if we went to the alternate choice, those were larger and it

403
00:45:24,469 --> 00:45:28,273
could have been a wash on the price too. >>  just to be clear, parkland golf preferred that one but

404
00:45:32,077 --> 00:45:32,077
they're decision in that, it was still the residents' decision,

405
00:45:38,016 --> 00:45:41,887
that was their preference.  But it was still on the residents as a whole.  Anybody from the public that would like to speak

406
00:45:45,956 --> 00:45:49,094
on this agenda item? >>  no one from the public. Anybody else from the commission?

407
00:45:53,298 --> 00:45:53,298
>>  motion?  Anyone? >>  motion to approve.

408
00:46:00,438 --> 00:46:03,575
>>  I'll second. >>  so, I got a motion to approve by commissioner cutler, second by vice mayor mayersohn.

409
00:46:07,646 --> 00:46:10,054
roll call. >>  company brier? >>  yes >>  commissioner cutler?

410
00:46:12,717 --> 00:46:16,056
>>  yes commissioner isrow? Yes. >>  vice mayor mayersohn? >>  yes.  Mayor walker?

411
00:46:18,324 --> 00:46:18,324
>>  yes. >>  please show is passes

412
00:46:22,995 --> 00:46:22,995
unanimously. >>  item 9-d, parcel dedication

413
00:46:27,399 --> 00:46:27,399
for public road right of way, locks road project, a resolution

414
00:46:32,004 --> 00:46:35,542
of the city commission of the city of parkland florida, dedicating a parcel of property, providing for recording,

415
00:46:41,214 --> 00:46:41,214
severability and an effect date. >>  thank you for purposes of

416
00:46:47,019 --> 00:46:47,019
the public, the project is a multiagency project that would

417
00:46:55,830 --> 00:46:55,830
include lighting,  landscaping, drainage structures, and the

418
00:47:02,769 --> 00:47:02,769
construction of round abouts. Parkside it drive and locks

419
00:47:09,509 --> 00:47:09,509
hatch shi road.  The city owns a little over 4.5 acres at the

420
00:47:15,715 --> 00:47:15,715
southwest corner of that location.  The dot is requesting

421
00:47:20,119 --> 00:47:20,119
approximately 6,400 square feet of that real estate in order to

422
00:47:25,325 --> 00:47:25,325
accommodate the proposed round about.  The property itself was

423
00:47:30,196 --> 00:47:30,196
dedicated as a park parcel to the city, however the city has

424
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,403
no plans to develop that property at this time.  And as such, staff believes it's in the best interest of the city to

425
00:47:41,808 --> 00:47:44,076
convert the portion of the property requested to accommodate the proposed round about at the intersection of

426
00:47:50,083 --> 00:47:50,083
locks road and parkside drive. The next step would be to record

427
00:47:58,091 --> 00:47:58,091
the survey and legal dedescription for the parcel in

428
00:48:06,300 --> 00:48:06,300
order to effectuate the property.  For the parcel

429
00:48:13,041 --> 00:48:16,844
dedication for the public road right of way for the intersection of loxahachie road. >>  thank you.  So, obviously,

430
00:48:28,789 --> 00:48:28,789
lox road is something that comes to us very often.  Approving the

431
00:48:34,260 --> 00:48:34,260
right of way gets us one step forward.  One of the key steps

432
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:40,000
you'll hear us, over this is being patient.  Lox road will be

433
00:48:45,272 --> 00:48:45,272
tied up for a long time. Whether you're four seasons,

434
00:48:49,878 --> 00:48:49,878
water crest, it's going to take time to get this done.  There's

435
00:48:54,815 --> 00:48:54,815
approximately six mile stretch of lox that the city owns.

436
00:48:59,554 --> 00:48:59,554
there's six miles, the city owns one mile.  That means other

437
00:49:05,226 --> 00:49:05,226
agencies, not just the city have control over the roadway.  A lot

438
00:49:09,297 --> 00:49:09,297
of times, people come to us and say, how come the city can't do

439
00:49:14,102 --> 00:49:14,102
this, or the city's got to do this, we don't always have as

440
00:49:20,909 --> 00:49:23,777
much control as we would like. We're always working with the other agencies so try and make sure everything gets done as

441
00:49:27,515 --> 00:49:27,515
quickly as possible.  So, as far back as 2013, the city initiated

442
00:49:35,390 --> 00:49:35,390
contact with those agencies to start the process of improving

443
00:49:41,195 --> 00:49:41,195
lox road.  The city approved the design and construction of

444
00:49:45,666 --> 00:49:45,666
improvements for the construction of lox, the city

445
00:49:49,738 --> 00:49:49,738
reach out to broward county and the broward mpo for funding

446
00:49:54,608 --> 00:49:58,547
assistance.  While this process took many years, on march 3rd of this year, so we're going back from 2013 to this year, with the

447
00:50:03,952 --> 00:50:06,889
commission's approval the city executed the funding agreement with the florida department of transportation.  The overall

448
00:50:10,826 --> 00:50:14,163
project will cost roughly $20 million, the city's portion will be roughly $2 million.  The difference is the cost that we

449
00:50:19,034 --> 00:50:19,034
had to wait for the it state. The project's design phase will

450
00:50:23,838 --> 00:50:23,838
resume this summer and construction will begin in rate

451
00:50:29,244 --> 00:50:29,244
2022 or early '23 so, again, that's talk about patience.  We

452
00:50:34,249 --> 00:50:34,249
understand lox is not a good road, so if you have to travel

453
00:50:39,590 --> 00:50:42,925
that road, please use caution because we have another year or year and-a-half before this project starts.  Again, it's

454
00:50:46,529 --> 00:50:46,529
going to take a lot of impact, whether your park side drive,

455
00:50:52,874 --> 00:50:52,874
what have you please do whatever you can to be patient and

456
00:50:57,072 --> 00:51:01,010
understand that no one wants this project to be completed faster than city staff or the commissioners up here who

457
00:51:03,879 --> 00:51:03,879
receive phone calls and emails, there's nothing we would like

458
00:51:08,885 --> 00:51:08,885
better than to be able to snap our fingers to get it done.  I

459
00:51:13,023 --> 00:51:13,023
want to thank a few people involved in this project,

460
00:51:17,227 --> 00:51:17,227
previous commissions, or former mayor representative christine,

461
00:51:22,499 --> 00:51:22,499
broward county commission, broward county staff, mpo staff,

462
00:51:27,704 --> 00:51:27,704
florida department of transportation, our current

463
00:51:32,041 --> 00:51:32,041
commission, city staff, and the residents for their patience.

464
00:51:36,913 --> 00:51:39,783
anyone?  Commissioner brier? >>  just echoing your comments, commissioner, this is one of the projects in the city that I wish

465
00:51:47,791 --> 00:51:50,660
and dream for everyday.  This is pan issue about saving lives, that road has been dangerous since my family moved here and

466
00:51:53,997 --> 00:51:56,999
continues to be dangerous.  So I'm excited to get this ball rolling and this is just one step in the process, but I echo

467
00:52:02,006 --> 00:52:02,006
the mayor's comments that it's going to be a process that we

468
00:52:06,877 --> 00:52:10,281
all got to be patient with.  I know, city staff is working their part to get this done as quickly as possible.  But to the

469
00:52:14,018 --> 00:52:17,288
mayor's point, some of this is beyond our control but we're working hard to do it. >>> vice mayor mayersohn?

470
00:52:21,359 --> 00:52:21,359
>>  I spoke about this, but I just want to echo sentiments to

471
00:52:25,963 --> 00:52:29,100
the commission as well. Although this item has nothing do with the design of that round about, is that area that we can

472
00:52:35,373 --> 00:52:35,373
look at that may have that four acres currently dedicated that

473
00:52:42,847 --> 00:52:42,847
we're not doing anything with. We may want to look at where

474
00:52:48,586 --> 00:52:48,586
somebody can ingress and degress with this area.  That may have

475
00:52:56,929 --> 00:52:56,929
to be moved when lox is completed for in the working,

476
00:53:02,533 --> 00:53:02,533
just some of those things to keep in mind and anything else

477
00:53:07,338 --> 00:53:07,338
we could do while the project is going on or the future project

478
00:53:11,342 --> 00:53:11,342
of lox road to make the tweaks as we see fit.

479
00:53:15,747 --> 00:53:19,284
>>  thank you.  Anybody from the public want to speak on this agenda item?  And since no one wants to speak.  Motion?

480
00:53:22,553 --> 00:53:24,355
>>  motion to approve. >>  second. >>  motion to approve by commissioner isrow and a second

481
00:53:29,094 --> 00:53:31,899
by commissioner cutler. >>  roll call. >>  commissioner cutler? >>  yes.

482
00:53:33,364 --> 00:53:36,301
>>  commissioner isrow? >>  yes. >>  commissioner brier?  Yes. >>  vice mayor mayersohn?

483
00:53:39,771 --> 00:53:40,906
>>  yes. >>  mayor walker? >>  yes.  Please show it passes uman mousily.

484
00:53:46,979 --> 00:53:46,979
>>  item 9-e.  Amending ordinance number 2020 --  019.

485
00:53:59,391 --> 00:53:59,391
increasing the general fund lie $170,000 providing funding by

486
00:54:03,929 --> 00:54:03,929
utilizing building department existing reserves, utilizing

487
00:54:08,133 --> 00:54:08,133
$45,000 of general fund contang gentsy funding increasing the

488
00:54:15,809 --> 00:54:15,809
capital improvement found providing funding by utilizing,

489
00:54:20,747 --> 00:54:20,747
existing reserves, converts 5 part time park ranger position

490
00:54:26,151 --> 00:54:26,151
toss three full time positions. Providing for severability and

491
00:54:30,756 --> 00:54:30,756
providing for an effective date. >>  good evening, mayor,

492
00:54:36,962 --> 00:54:40,766
commissioners, I'm chris johnson.  And this is the first reading much a major budget.  It it will does a whole lot of

493
00:54:44,102 --> 00:54:47,506
things rolled into one.  The first part of the amendment is to use $170,000 of building department reserves to other

494
00:55:00,986 --> 00:55:00,986
contractual services as needed. Take care of the pine tree

495
00:55:05,190 --> 00:55:08,660
roadway testing and improvement in valuation.  The third part of it is to add $75,000 building department reserveses to add to

496
00:55:13,266 --> 00:55:13,266
the storm water master plan project.  Number 4 is to convert

497
00:55:19,472 --> 00:55:19,472
those 5 full time part time park ranger positions into three full

498
00:55:24,344 --> 00:55:24,344
time park rangeser positions and then lastly, is use $300,000 for

499
00:55:31,952 --> 00:55:31,952
reserves for the round about project just approved.  That is

500
00:55:38,158 --> 00:55:41,363
the summary of what this budget amendment. >>  thank you, chris.  And again, most of this is moving

501
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:45,098
money from you know one pot to another.  So it's not increasing

502
00:55:49,503 --> 00:55:53,306
the rate or spending additional funds, it's taking money from here and putting it over here, and those types of things.

503
00:55:57,712 --> 00:55:57,712
>>  correct. >>  so that's essentially what

504
00:56:02,115 --> 00:56:04,518
that does. >>  vice mayor mayersohn? >>  again, the one important piece to me, and again, my

505
00:56:09,257 --> 00:56:09,257
one-on-one with nancy and swanda, I questioned the reason

506
00:56:15,729 --> 00:56:15,729
why we're taking the park rake rangers and making some of them

507
00:56:22,602 --> 00:56:25,339
full time instead of part time. And my explanation is through the park people there's a lot of turnover, those park rangers are

508
00:56:32,145 --> 00:56:36,083
valuable to the leagues and our residents.  They get to know some of them personally, and call them by first name.  Having

509
00:56:39,954 --> 00:56:39,954
somebody there on a full-time basis builds that consistently

510
00:56:44,893 --> 00:56:48,429
and comradery, and I think that's an important piece that residents need to know.  That's why that shift is being made,

511
00:56:53,834 --> 00:56:53,834
so, I want to thank christine for noticing that and making

512
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,778
sure to improve our relationships out there. >> a full-time employee is much more vested in his job than a

513
00:57:07,848 --> 00:57:07,848
part time employee.  So, I thought it was a fantastic move

514
00:57:12,386 --> 00:57:16,196
and I'm glad that was done.  It makes the residents safer, it makes the residents more comfortable.  So I'm very happy

515
00:57:20,527 --> 00:57:20,527
to see that.  Anyone from the public that would like to speak

516
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,736
on this agenda item?  Anyone? No. >>  anyone from the commission have any additional comments.

517
00:57:32,141 --> 00:57:32,141
>>  motion to approve by commissioner brier, and second

518
00:57:36,277 --> 00:57:39,281
by many commissioner I see isrow. >>  commissioner isrow? >>  yes.

519
00:57:41,551 --> 00:57:43,285
>>  commissioner brier? >>  yes. >>  commissioner cutler? >>  yes.  Vice mayor mayersohn?

520
00:57:46,888 --> 00:57:49,091
>>  yes. >>  mayor walker. >>  yes. >>  please show it passes uman

521
00:57:55,697 --> 00:57:55,697
mousily. >>  item f is broward city

522
00:58:00,770 --> 00:58:00,770
league appointments.  It's time to make those appointments.

523
00:58:07,443 --> 00:58:07,443
currently we have vice mayor mayersohn as the director, first

524
00:58:15,251 --> 00:58:15,251
al alternate would be myself and

525
00:58:19,255 --> 00:58:22,723
second would be commissioner brier. >>  motion to maintain. >>  second. >>  okay.  So, anyone from the public that would like to speak

526
00:58:27,730 --> 00:58:27,730
on this agenda item? >>  no.  Okay.  So, I have a

527
00:58:31,735 --> 00:58:35,404
motion by commissioner cutler, and a second by commissioner isrow. >>  one thing I would like to

528
00:58:37,074 --> 00:58:39,674
say is that. >>  wait, you already got nominated to be the director. You want to try and talk

529
00:58:42,678 --> 00:58:46,216
yourself out of it. >>  no, not yet.  But one thing I do want to say is that, the league of cities except for our

530
00:58:51,353 --> 00:58:54,891
board meeting, like we have coffee with the president, and in fact, the next meeting is supposed to be on the 9th but I

531
00:58:59,896 --> 00:58:59,896
think it's postponed to the 17th.  They're zoom, it's not a

532
00:59:05,300 --> 00:59:09,238
matter of going down somewhere, I think it's valuable, I think if you could attend to see what the league of cities is about to

533
00:59:12,442 --> 00:59:12,442
get an understanding.  It's a great opportunity to network

534
00:59:17,381 --> 00:59:21,184
with others similar southwest council elected officials.  It's a great way to learn things going on in the county that

535
00:59:24,187 --> 00:59:24,187
specifically effect our city and our residents.  So when the next

536
00:59:30,193 --> 00:59:30,193
event comes out, I'll make sure it goes through nancy or

537
00:59:34,464 --> 00:59:38,269
whatever to invite you all because I think it's worth while to attend. >>  roll call.

538
00:59:40,403 --> 00:59:42,806
>>  commissioner brier? >>  yes. >>  commissioner cutler? >>  yes.  Commissioner isrow?

539
00:59:46,275 --> 00:59:49,212
>>  yes. >>  vice mayor is it mayersohn? >>  yes.  Mayor walker? >>  yes.

540
00:59:51,148 --> 00:59:51,148
>>  item 9 g discuss and consider action regarding city

541
00:59:56,220 --> 00:59:58,155
clerk's performance review current period. >>  okay.  So, I'll talk on this one also.  So alyson obviously

542
01:00:05,296 --> 01:00:05,296
has been here just over a year now, so her year review was or

543
01:00:10,634 --> 01:00:10,634
is due, and based on the conversations that she's had and

544
01:00:15,573 --> 01:00:15,573
we've had I would like to recommend a 2.75% increase for

545
01:00:21,845 --> 01:00:21,845
alyson which would be the average of the reviews.

546
01:00:31,522 --> 01:00:33,257
>>  I will second that. >>  you want a motion or? >>  is that a motion? >>  I'll make a motion.

547
01:00:37,794 --> 01:00:40,196
>>  I'll second. >>  I'm only recommending it. >>  may I ask a question, mayor, is this that we're going to be

548
01:00:44,469 --> 01:00:44,469
doing it annually by vote or is there a mechanicism in place for

549
01:00:52,143 --> 01:00:52,143
the performance evaluation.  Are we jumping to the second half.

550
01:01:00,885 --> 01:01:03,554
>>  what do you mean the second half? >>  is the performance' val weighs.

551
01:01:07,292 --> 01:01:07,292
>>  no, the performance evaluation was done by all the

552
01:01:13,297 --> 01:01:15,767
commissioners. >>  I haven't had a chance to do that, I guess that's why. >>  okay.  Okay.

553
01:01:18,770 --> 01:01:18,770
>>  and I guess to commissioner isrow's point, if there's a

554
01:01:24,976 --> 01:01:24,976
mechanicism, I know I had my one-on-one with alyson, I sat

555
01:01:30,649 --> 01:01:30,649
down and discussed with her what she was doing well and what she

556
01:01:36,588 --> 01:01:36,588
needed improvement on and recommend regular feedback.  But

557
01:01:41,660 --> 01:01:41,660
if it's something, that, again, she's our employee, I guess, one

558
01:01:45,731 --> 01:01:45,731
of three, that you may want something feeling more tankible

559
01:01:55,407 --> 01:01:57,476
or measurable I'm up for that as well. >>  everyone is free to do an evaluation, how they see fit,

560
01:02:04,482 --> 01:02:04,482
some people want to just do it verbally, which is, you're

561
01:02:09,154 --> 01:02:09,154
entitled to evaluate whoever you need to evaluate however you see

562
01:02:15,427 --> 01:02:15,427
fit.  Personally, I like to fill out a form, in this particular

563
01:02:19,564 --> 01:02:19,564
case, with alyson, we just did a verbal evaluation so, I did not

564
01:02:25,238 --> 01:02:25,238
fill out a form this time, with nancy I did.  So this one was

565
01:02:30,976 --> 01:02:30,976
different.  But normally I like to fill out a form and you know,

566
01:02:35,448 --> 01:02:39,185
check, one, 2, three, or whatever the form was that you gave us, I think it was letters. But again, that's up to you.

567
01:02:43,589 --> 01:02:47,126
every company's different, so every person's different.  So, you know, you guys are all free, in my opinion, is how I see it,

568
01:02:52,599 --> 01:02:55,000
similar to nancy, commissioner brier? >>  I would like to have some sort of procedure in place

569
01:02:58,338 --> 01:02:58,338
similar to what we did with the city manager's office where we

570
01:03:02,675 --> 01:03:02,675
have some system if it's done by a combination of verbal and

571
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:10,083
written evaluation forms, fine. Maybe a review, like we talked about for the city manager, I think would be helpful.  We have

572
01:03:14,154 --> 01:03:17,690
probably communications with alyson on a much more frequent basis, but having some sort of structure that is consistent, I

573
01:03:23,763 --> 01:03:27,101
think would be beneficial. >>  well, it's once a year, right.  And then if we want to do mid-year ones, you could send

574
01:03:31,971 --> 01:03:31,971
us --  so if you could send us, now, you know one-year review,

575
01:03:38,510 --> 01:03:38,510
so we know when next year's is, and send us six-month reviews,

576
01:03:44,650 --> 01:03:44,650
if we get invitations on our calendars, it would be up to us,

577
01:03:52,927 --> 01:03:56,130
well you need to get us the forms in a timely fashion prior to the one-on-one's, and it's up to us to make sure we get there

578
01:04:02,135 --> 01:04:02,135
and get those things done.  Is that good with everyone?

579
01:04:07,141 --> 01:04:10,076
commissioner cutler? >>  it's a comment and a question, the first comment is I really appreciate working with

580
01:04:13,747 --> 01:04:13,747
alyson, I think she's a lovely individual, and I'm very pleased

581
01:04:19,753 --> 01:04:19,753
with her performance this year, but I do understand that her

582
01:04:24,224 --> 01:04:24,224
position is one that falls under our charter.  And as a position

583
01:04:28,696 --> 01:04:31,765
that falls under the commission, and, I know that we've already had a charter review and that's not scheduled for another four

584
01:04:37,037 --> 01:04:39,773
years, but, certainly that's something that maybe we want to look at in terms of who falls under what position, relative, I

585
01:04:43,844 --> 01:04:43,844
don't know what other cities do, anthony, maybe you know, whether

586
01:04:48,181 --> 01:04:48,181
the clerk always falls under the commission or whether the clerk

587
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:56,590
falls under the city management in other situations. >>  commissioner, it's mixed, some cities have the clerk's

588
01:05:00,195 --> 01:05:00,195
office under the manager, some have the clerk's office as a

589
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,803
separate charter officer. >>  the reason I ask that question is I've had interactionwise alyson, but I've

590
01:05:11,339 --> 01:05:15,277
also had interactionwise all the other staff members and directors of the teams, I don't know that necessarily, I have

591
01:05:23,151 --> 01:05:27,021
management over her relative with how she does other day-to-day functions. >>  I think what you're saying

592
01:05:29,290 --> 01:05:29,290
is spot on, I had that conversation with nancy and

593
01:05:36,299 --> 01:05:40,235
anthony before, she doesn't work for us any different than lisa does or anthony.  In reality, she follows nancy's lead,

594
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:48,977
because nancy as the city manager sets the agenda, and alyson is just formulating the agenda and packaging that up so

595
01:05:54,049 --> 01:05:54,049
that the residents can view it, they have their backups, but in

596
01:06:00,923 --> 01:06:00,923
reality she falls more in line with the city managers, so,

597
01:06:05,260 --> 01:06:07,997
where you're headed is very similar conversations with what I had, but obviously having the charter, you know, it's tough

598
01:06:12,734 --> 01:06:15,938
for us. >>  and while I agree with you and with relative with this idea that I would like to have more

599
01:06:20,809 --> 01:06:20,809
stru stru

600
01:06:26,282 --> 01:06:26,282
structure for evaluation structures, look at the analysis

601
01:06:31,621 --> 01:06:31,621
of where the management falls and look to who it might be.

602
01:06:36,693 --> 01:06:36,693
>>  I couldn't agree more, I think the only thing the charter

603
01:06:41,231 --> 01:06:41,231
would do is the city clerk within the commission's purview,

604
01:06:45,301 --> 01:06:45,301
or that of the management.  It really wouldn't touch it, well

605
01:06:49,706 --> 01:06:49,706
it's also the city attorney and the city manager, but it

606
01:06:54,176 --> 01:06:54,176
wouldn't address as far as how or could it, I guess, how we

607
01:06:59,582 --> 01:07:03,186
evaluate those particular individuals.  Which would be, you, I don't think, obviously you're a consultant, so we

608
01:07:06,256 --> 01:07:06,256
wouldn't give you a review.  So we would just be reviewing.

609
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:10,660
>>  no, although I'm always happy to talk to you about my

610
01:07:15,332 --> 01:07:15,332
performance and how I could do better.  It's not typical in a

611
01:07:23,606 --> 01:07:27,010
charter to see how a particular employee was doing in the charter. >>  I'm not suggesting that, I'm

612
01:07:28,946 --> 01:07:28,946
just suggesting that when we look at the scope of those

613
01:07:33,284 --> 01:07:36,553
positions, in terms of the corporate structure that we have of our government, maybe that's something that the people doing

614
01:07:41,291 --> 01:07:41,291
charter review want to see. >>  yes, I want to clarify, the

615
01:07:46,830 --> 01:07:46,830
reason I bring this up, maybe it was a miscommunication on my

616
01:07:51,569 --> 01:07:51,569
part, but I understood that we were talking today about the

617
01:07:56,173 --> 01:07:56,173
mechanism by which we were going to do the performance review.

618
01:08:00,310 --> 01:08:00,310
for me, I echo commissioner cutler, I have a great working

619
01:08:07,251 --> 01:08:11,188
relationship to her, if it were up to me, I would give her the full 3%.  I think there's value in the commission being able to

620
01:08:15,859 --> 01:08:18,728
have a conversation about it similar to the way we do with the city manager, because in men respects, my visibility into her

621
01:08:26,137 --> 01:08:26,137
work performance is a sliver of what she actually does.  For me,

622
01:08:31,676 --> 01:08:35,613
I want to make sure I have a more rounded view of it.  I still want to have that vis ability as opposed to just

623
01:08:39,685 --> 01:08:43,221
making based off a small slice. That's why I'm saying that, I'm not opposed to voting on a, I guess a raise, but I think, even

624
01:08:47,225 --> 01:08:51,095
just the starting point of what the motion is set at, is already setting the tone as if the performance review has already

625
01:08:56,235 --> 01:08:59,704
been discussed amongst the commission. >>  so, right, so every commissioner has their own

626
01:09:02,907 --> 01:09:02,907
process of how they want to review.  So, if you want to put

627
01:09:06,978 --> 01:09:10,381
this off so you could have that opportunity, it would be more that we would put this off, because we're not really having

628
01:09:14,853 --> 01:09:14,853
a conversation with alyson now to talk about her performance,

629
01:09:19,057 --> 01:09:19,057
we're merely approving or not approving a particular amount.

630
01:09:23,795 --> 01:09:23,795
so our only option which is your right would be to hold this

631
01:09:29,334 --> 01:09:32,271
offer until you've had an opportunity to have -- >>  well it's not just for my value.  I know in my head what I

632
01:09:37,342 --> 01:09:37,342
would evaluate her as.  I'm saying a workshop to give us

633
01:09:42,214 --> 01:09:46,152
sometime to have a discussion as opposed to all of us doing something and making a motion based off of, I guess what

634
01:09:50,221 --> 01:09:50,221
you're saying, is that's what the general raise is, I guess

635
01:09:55,694 --> 01:09:55,694
that sets a base line that's kind of in the abstract, not

636
01:10:02,233 --> 01:10:02,233
based on the performance.  I vote yes in favor of 2.75 or

637
01:10:07,306 --> 01:10:07,306
vote no and she gets no raise. >>  no, we could push it off and

638
01:10:17,249 --> 01:10:21,053
the raise will come at the next meeting. >>  I would like to hold it off to have the discussion.

639
01:10:24,924 --> 01:10:28,795
>>  we didn't have that type of conversation with nancy, where we talked about the performance about her performance.  All we

640
01:10:35,735 --> 01:10:35,735
talked about with nancy was how we were going to rate her and we

641
01:10:40,540 --> 01:10:43,342
basically decided that we were all going to rate her individually.  She provided us with a form, you know to fill

642
01:10:48,481 --> 01:10:51,284
out, as a baseline. >>  right. >>  so that's what the discussion was.  We did want

643
01:10:56,221 --> 01:10:56,221
talk about well, I like that nancy does this and I don't like

644
01:11:02,162 --> 01:11:02,162
that she does that. >>  they're both under the

645
01:11:06,233 --> 01:11:06,233
charter, so my question is why treat them differently, I get

646
01:11:10,770 --> 01:11:14,174
they're different jobs, but why not treat them the same. >>  the discussion we had with nancy was how we were going to

647
01:11:18,311 --> 01:11:18,311
do the evaluation.  Which was a form we ended up with a form

648
01:11:23,383 --> 01:11:23,383
that she provided and we talked about having I know mid-term

649
01:11:30,190 --> 01:11:32,926
evaluations.  That was basically the conversation we had.  And with alyson, took the lead on that, and sent you know forms to

650
01:11:38,732 --> 01:11:38,732
fill out, we filled out those forms or if you wanted to fill

651
01:11:44,070 --> 01:11:44,070
out those forms, like in bob's case and mine as well for

652
01:11:49,342 --> 01:11:51,944
alyson, I didn't particularly fill out this form this time. We had a face-to-face meeting and discussed that evaluation.

653
01:11:55,616 --> 01:11:55,616
where, you filled out a form, and that's what we did just

654
01:12:04,892 --> 01:12:04,892
based on what we did with nancy. We're treating it exactly the

655
01:12:10,164 --> 01:12:13,234
same as nancy. >>  if I could make a recommendation, what I'm hearing and what I believe is missing,

656
01:12:16,437 --> 01:12:16,437
is potentially setting up the goals and objectives for her to

657
01:12:22,776 --> 01:12:26,513
achieve moving forward very similar to myself.  And as commissioner isrow mentioned, he needs some structure to it.  And

658
01:12:31,652 --> 01:12:31,652
if you have goals and objectives, that's going to

659
01:12:36,124 --> 01:12:39,794
define on what she needs to achieve and that would help her know her direction so that would be my direction.

660
01:12:43,130 --> 01:12:46,668
>>  that's exactly to commissioner cutler's point and to commissioner isrow's point. For us to set goals, we only

661
01:12:52,474 --> 01:12:52,474
have this snippet of what she actually does.  In reality, she

662
01:12:56,745 --> 01:12:56,745
works with you, 90% of the time, and with us 10% of the time.  So

663
01:13:00,882 --> 01:13:04,819
we would be setting goals, which I guess we could do, because we could do whatever we want in this case, we would be

664
01:13:08,222 --> 01:13:08,222
setting goals for ourselves rather than what she does with

665
01:13:13,695 --> 01:13:13,695
you or the residents on a daily basis.  I don't know how many,

666
01:13:20,168 --> 01:13:20,168
you know, conversations she has with residents or how many times

667
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:28,509
she has to send out records requests and how she does with filling out the agenda.  Do you have to tell her 20 times to put

668
01:13:32,181 --> 01:13:36,051
this and those conversations, we're not privy too.  Because we don't have that.  But that's because of how our charter is

669
01:13:39,721 --> 01:13:42,591
written. >>  right, but the charter's written that way means we have to design our evaluate based on

670
01:13:48,598 --> 01:13:48,598
the charter.  We have the task of creating the clarity and the

671
01:13:53,335 --> 01:13:53,335
structure so that way when we're fulfilling our chart

672
01:13:59,208 --> 01:13:59,208
responsibility is in the manner of the charter.

673
01:14:06,749 --> 01:14:06,749
>>  vice mayor mayersohn. >>  she's under the charter as

674
01:14:11,954 --> 01:14:14,489
far as being under the supervision of the commission and the hiring of the commission.  I question, there

675
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:16,760
are obviously reasons for it, but I think it's worth while in

676
01:14:21,297 --> 01:14:24,633
the next charter review to have that are charter committee to take a look at it to see if that's the direction we should

677
01:14:28,037 --> 01:14:28,037
be going to or not.  But with that being said to commissioner

678
01:14:32,174 --> 01:14:32,174
I see's point is that, nancy's contract was for evaluation at

679
01:14:37,246 --> 01:14:41,184
least, to me, was very well defined because it was in her contract that her evaluation and merit increase was based upon an

680
01:14:47,925 --> 01:14:47,925
evaluation tool predominantly based upon meeting goals and

681
01:14:53,262 --> 01:14:56,132
objectives related to the strategic plan.  Alyson doesn't have that type of contract, nor does she have, again, we could

682
01:15:00,736 --> 01:15:00,736
create them as part of a strategic plan and create goals

683
01:15:06,209 --> 01:15:06,209
and objectives, if that's something that you would prefer.

684
01:15:12,148 --> 01:15:12,148
and again, how we evaluate it, according to what the mayor's

685
01:15:17,153 --> 01:15:21,091
saying it up to us, via form or individually, or however we decide it to do.  But, I think you're looking for something

686
01:15:28,299 --> 01:15:28,299
substancetive, saying, I think alyson's doing a great job.

687
01:15:38,175 --> 01:15:38,175
>>  I guess my point is, when I spoke to alyson about, I said

688
01:15:44,180 --> 01:15:44,180
when is this due, I guest the point of distinction I'm trying

689
01:15:48,184 --> 01:15:48,184
to make that with nancy's document that the review is

690
01:15:52,389 --> 01:15:55,993
based on it had a line that said, what is your proposed pay increase if any.  The nice thing about in a is we put us in the

691
01:15:59,730 --> 01:15:59,730
position to put our opinion on it, and then you get the average

692
01:16:04,402 --> 01:16:08,006
of those numbers, now you're not taking into consideration of what the performance review it, I think it's more objective

693
01:16:12,676 --> 01:16:12,676
where each person gives the proposal, average it.  How the

694
01:16:18,949 --> 01:16:22,219
performance should be made and how the decision will be made based off the pay.  Those are two separate issues.

695
01:16:31,028 --> 01:16:31,028
>>  so, I think we need help, here, anthony.  So, I think.

696
01:16:36,033 --> 01:16:36,033
>>  I hope this is helpful, but I'll try to follow up on what

697
01:16:41,171 --> 01:16:41,171
the vice mayor said.  They're both charter officers, no doubt,

698
01:16:47,245 --> 01:16:48,447
meaning that you're responsible support establishing their pay and any increases they get. However, they both have two

699
01:16:52,116 --> 01:16:54,986
separate contracts and within those contracts they say two separate things with respect to performance evaluation, the

700
01:16:59,391 --> 01:17:03,194
manager's contract which is your chief administrative officer is more defined when it comes to how the performance review is

701
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:08,400
supposed to go and what's to be established up front and it's

702
01:17:13,271 --> 01:17:16,941
not unique to have slightly different terms.  In the clerk's contract, basically what it says is there after, after the first

703
01:17:21,079 --> 01:17:21,079
year that the commission shall annually undertake to review the

704
01:17:25,150 --> 01:17:25,150
city clerk's performance and the city commission shall grant such

705
01:17:32,157 --> 01:17:34,360
salary increases as the city commission deems appropriate. And that's it with respect to any type of performance review,

706
01:17:39,632 --> 01:17:41,767
that's all the language that you're going to see.  To the extent that that helps you, you're not required to give any

707
01:17:45,170 --> 01:17:45,170
type of written performance, or set up an established process in

708
01:17:49,241 --> 01:17:53,045
advance, although, you could do that if you so choose and you believe that's the appropriate thing to do.

709
01:17:57,315 --> 01:17:57,315
>>> if we were to establish a process similar to nancy's

710
01:18:05,991 --> 01:18:05,991
contract, would that have to be established in alyson's contract

711
01:18:11,865 --> 01:18:11,865
as well, and she would have to agree to those terms, or is that

712
01:18:16,669 --> 01:18:20,272
something that... >>  well, you may want to get her input, it says you shall annually undertake the city

713
01:18:32,285 --> 01:18:32,285
clerk's review.  You determine to give her an increase and what

714
01:18:37,957 --> 01:18:41,161
that increase should be. >>  I don't know how it was done in the past, while alyson is new to the position, the position

715
01:18:46,299 --> 01:18:46,299
itself is not new.  The position has been as a charter position

716
01:18:53,039 --> 01:18:56,242
in that period of time.  I would feel comfortable with establishing a protocol for an annual review and we could do a

717
01:19:00,380 --> 01:19:00,380
mid year as well getting input from the commissioners and

718
01:19:04,851 --> 01:19:08,722
getting input from the city manager on the other areas of performance that we don't see on a day to day basis, right, that

719
01:19:13,126 --> 01:19:16,930
we as a commission are not part of on a day to day and use that as part of your procession of creating our own independent

720
01:19:24,405 --> 01:19:24,405
evaluation of the city clerk. >>  again, that's why I said,

721
01:19:29,276 --> 01:19:31,011
the process is up to each individual.  I had those conversations with nancy, earlier, after, in discussions

722
01:19:34,148 --> 01:19:34,148
with alyson.  Because I know, I only know what I know.  So, you

723
01:19:42,757 --> 01:19:46,627
know? >>  correct. >> >>  so, if that's important, you know, when we do the evaluation, that's how we need to make sure

724
01:19:53,234 --> 01:19:53,234
we do that evaluation we need to make sure, whatever concerns us

725
01:19:58,505 --> 01:19:58,505
to come to a conclusion, we need to make sure we're doing that.

726
01:20:03,644 --> 01:20:03,644
it's up to us.  Alyson is technically our employee, so as

727
01:20:09,316 --> 01:20:09,316
our employees, as the manager, it's up to me to find out all

728
01:20:14,188 --> 01:20:14,188
the information I can so that I can evaluate my particular

729
01:20:19,193 --> 01:20:19,193
employee.  How I do that could be different than how

730
01:20:23,197 --> 01:20:26,201
commissioner cutler does it or commissioner I see, commissioner brier, so, we got written forms, how you want to use that written

731
01:20:30,470 --> 01:20:34,275
form is up to you.  If you don't want to use it like vice mayor mayersohn doesn't want to use it, that's totally fine.

732
01:20:37,212 --> 01:20:37,212
there's no right or wrong way of evaluating someone.  Because

733
01:20:43,217 --> 01:20:46,287
everybody values something differently.  Somebody may think personal relationships are more important than organization or

734
01:20:51,826 --> 01:20:51,826
vice versa, so, I think for now, what I would like do is we can

735
01:21:01,303 --> 01:21:01,303
talk about this at strategic planning.  Can we add that to

736
01:21:08,109 --> 01:21:10,245
our strategic planning discussion to talk more about it there and gives us time to think about exactly what we want to

737
01:21:18,387 --> 01:21:18,387
do.  And at this time, I'm still going to go ahead and recommend

738
01:21:24,326 --> 01:21:26,261
the 2.75. >>  it's been awhile. >>  we had a motion, I don't know if we had a second.

739
01:21:29,332 --> 01:21:29,332
>>  if you want to motion, which is your prerogative, jordan,

740
01:21:34,937 --> 01:21:34,937
>>  I would make a motion to raise it to 3%.  That would be

741
01:21:39,341 --> 01:21:39,341
my motion.  Based off my experience working with alyson.

742
01:21:45,146 --> 01:21:45,146
>>  the number that I came up with was...

743
01:21:51,887 --> 01:21:51,887
>>  I have a question.  From am procedural stand point, we have

744
01:22:02,231 --> 01:22:02,231
a time constraint by charter because we have an annual

745
01:22:07,703 --> 01:22:11,241
review, are there any time deadlines that we need to be concerned with? >>  I don't know if each one of

746
01:22:13,375 --> 01:22:16,846
you have talked to the city clerk about it, but to the extent that you've done that that's probably enough to

747
01:22:19,314 --> 01:22:19,314
satisfy the review part and it's within your discretion as to

748
01:22:24,453 --> 01:22:24,453
whether to give her compensation.  So long as you've

749
01:22:29,325 --> 01:22:29,325
done some form of review, it checks the box in the contract,

750
01:22:35,398 --> 01:22:38,935
there's no time frame necessarily set forth that you have to make a decision by a certain date.  I don't want to

751
01:22:42,138 --> 01:22:42,138
speak for her, and maybe she's here, it's a little awkward, I'm

752
01:22:46,276 --> 01:22:46,276
sure for her, I suspect if you say, hey, we need two more weeks

753
01:22:51,146 --> 01:22:51,146
in making a decision, versus not getting an increase, or waiting

754
01:23:00,357 --> 01:23:00,357
two weeks and getting the increase, I'm sure she would

755
01:23:06,030 --> 01:23:06,030
wait the two weeks. >>  if there's no time

756
01:23:18,508 --> 01:23:21,111
constraint, that's the best of both worlds. >>  it would be retroactive anyway, so that would be fine.

757
01:23:25,715 --> 01:23:25,715
>>  okay.  So, we want a motion to postpone item.

758
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:33,190
>>  well, we have to redo the agenda. >>  did we have the motion from you?

759
01:23:35,126 --> 01:23:35,126
>>  well, he made a motion. >>  I believe that the motion.

760
01:23:39,663 --> 01:23:39,663
>>  I actually made a motion. >>  so, there was a motion made,

761
01:23:47,338 --> 01:23:47,338
so we would have to with draw that motion or vote on it.

762
01:23:52,543 --> 01:23:52,543
>>  okay.  He had asked me to make a motion, so if that one

763
01:23:57,347 --> 01:23:57,347
still stands, yes. >>  I'll with draw the motion.

764
01:24:04,755 --> 01:24:04,755
>>  I second the withdrawal. >>  we could still have a

765
01:24:09,428 --> 01:24:12,897
conversation in strategic planning on how the structure is done, but if we're going to make a motion now, is the point that

766
01:24:16,299 --> 01:24:16,299
we're taking it off the table or that we're making a decision

767
01:24:20,839 --> 01:24:20,839
today? >>  somebody wants to second.

768
01:24:25,243 --> 01:24:25,243
I'll second his motion for the point of discussion to discuss

769
01:24:29,781 --> 01:24:29,781
the 3% or figure out what to do. >>  my understanding is that

770
01:24:34,186 --> 01:24:37,856
jordan's issue was with not going through the evaluation process and giving more time to allow that process so that he

771
01:24:42,127 --> 01:24:44,328
could then provide his evaluation and thanksgiving factor including the increase proposal would be factored into

772
01:24:49,335 --> 01:24:49,335
a combination of four other increase proposals which would

773
01:24:53,405 --> 01:24:56,675
then come up with an average. >>  there's the performance review saying here's what I like what you're doing, here's what I

774
01:25:01,079 --> 01:25:01,079
think you could do better. >>  I did not personally on my

775
01:25:05,351 --> 01:25:05,351
own come up with 2.75%.  I'm just letting you know.

776
01:25:10,089 --> 01:25:10,089
>>  that's even more reason why, if we're just throwing out

777
01:25:15,494 --> 01:25:15,494
arbitrary numbers, I would think we would have to have

778
01:25:21,700 --> 01:25:23,636
justification. >>  I second jordan's. >>  I'm confused before we take a roll call, I withdrew my

779
01:25:33,645 --> 01:25:33,645
motion solely because I thought what commissioner was trying to

780
01:25:38,317 --> 01:25:38,317
accomplish is to give in additional time to allow him to

781
01:25:42,588 --> 01:25:42,588
complete his evaluation process. If that's not the case, I don't

782
01:25:48,460 --> 01:25:48,460
want to withdraw my motion. >>  what I was saying is, I

783
01:25:53,465 --> 01:25:56,670
basically, was here's my position, the mayor make as motion or someone make as motion to give a pay increase at 2.75%.

784
01:26:02,208 --> 01:26:05,477
that's what was on the table and it was seconded.  My option is either to vote yes in favor of that, recognizing that I

785
01:26:09,147 --> 01:26:12,419
personally would give the full 3% or no, and then I'm voting not to give her a raise at all. >>  my understanding of that

786
01:26:18,425 --> 01:26:18,425
2.75 is an average of the four other scores, if you haven't put

787
01:26:23,496 --> 01:26:23,496
the score? >>  is that the case?

788
01:26:28,101 --> 01:26:30,770
>>  well. >>  that's why I said, I did not come up with that figure on my own.

789
01:26:33,306 --> 01:26:36,509
>>  correct me if I misheard, you said there was something about the average cost of living increase.  You said in the

790
01:26:41,247 --> 01:26:44,516
beginning. >>  the quota that the city employees get is separate to performance, this is strictly

791
01:26:50,190 --> 01:26:50,190
performance, the cola get are the same.

792
01:26:58,866 --> 01:27:01,936
>>  okay.  I was not informed that there this been a calculation.  Okay. >>  so, if there's already been

793
01:27:06,739 --> 01:27:09,343
a calculation... >>  are you going to average the four scores or the five scores. >>  I think there's a motion and

794
01:27:12,946 --> 01:27:12,946
a second, and I thought I heard the mayor call the vote,

795
01:27:16,950 --> 01:27:19,086
although, I think he was pulling it back. >> le with, I was only calling back to give simmion withdrew

796
01:27:28,161 --> 01:27:28,161
his motion, I just wanted to do what was right.  If he didn't

797
01:27:33,366 --> 01:27:33,366
want to withdraw his motion based on what commissioner isrow

798
01:27:38,706 --> 01:27:41,308
wanted. >>  based off this, let's go to the strategic planning and have a conversation about what

799
01:27:45,311 --> 01:27:45,311
happened, because this is the first I'm learning of it while

800
01:27:49,316 --> 01:27:49,316
we're sitting here voting. >>  so, are you withdrawing

801
01:27:54,856 --> 01:27:55,494
your's? >>  yes. >>  here's what seems to be the confusion.  Let's make a motion

802
01:27:59,899 --> 01:27:59,899
to table this discussion to the next meeting.  We have strategic

803
01:28:04,103 --> 01:28:04,103
planning in between this, we can come up with having some further

804
01:28:10,643 --> 01:28:13,913
discussion. >>  is that your motion? >>  that's my motion. >>  second. >>  roll call. >>  commissioner cutler?

805
01:28:18,183 --> 01:28:20,987
>>  yes.  Commissioner isrow? >>  yes. >>  commissioner brier? >>  yes.

806
01:28:23,256 --> 01:28:25,058
>>  vice mayor mayersohn? >>  yes. >>  mayor walker? >>  yes.  Please show passes

807
01:28:29,862 --> 01:28:29,862
uman mousily.  Comments by the broward sheriff's office?

808
01:28:35,468 --> 01:28:35,468
>>  I'm looking forward to hearing about the new, like,

809
01:28:58,692 --> 01:28:58,692
>>  two of the auto thefts were the normal type of auto thefts

810
01:29:03,363 --> 01:29:03,363
we're used to deal with, I did want to mention two things to be

811
01:29:07,833 --> 01:29:07,833
mindful much, the third auto theft that we was a jeep

812
01:29:12,305 --> 01:29:12,305
gladiator but this vehicle was primarily targeted because it

813
01:29:16,309 --> 01:29:16,309
has a hell cat engine, it's a higher enengine.  We know

814
01:29:25,051 --> 01:29:28,722
there's an organized group going around specifically targeting those vehicles.  They do involve breaking into the vehicles and

815
01:29:32,459 --> 01:29:35,528
getting the vehicles far enough away from the residents to work on them, they use some so the of a computer device to clone a

816
01:29:44,004 --> 01:29:44,004
key.  As a residents, if you have cars, think of a way to

817
01:30:04,425 --> 01:30:04,425
secure your key fob.  It's a trend that we're seeing

818
01:30:08,963 --> 01:30:08,963
throughout the tri-county area. Another trend I wanted to

819
01:30:14,435 --> 01:30:18,372
mention in regards to car burglaries that we've had.  Be mindful of where you're at in our situational awareness.

820
01:30:22,509 --> 01:30:25,579
there's a group right now out there specifically targeting bank of america customers. They're watching you go up to

821
01:30:29,449 --> 01:30:29,449
the atm or inside the bank, make a withdraw.  Reaching into the

822
01:30:46,733 --> 01:30:49,937
glove compartment or somewhere inside the seat.  When they go inside to where ever they're going into, they come back, the

823
01:30:54,542 --> 01:30:57,478
vehicle's been broken into and the money's gone.  The amounts range from whatever, it's just a matter of your the victim

824
01:31:01,083 --> 01:31:01,083
because they witness you taking money out and follow you to your

825
01:31:05,086 --> 01:31:05,086
next location.  One of the things I would suggest is be

826
01:31:09,291 --> 01:31:13,094
mindful of your surroundings, if you see vehicles following you to another location, make sure not to leave money in your

827
01:31:16,899 --> 01:31:20,769
vehicle.  It's not the most secure place, I don't know if carrying it on you, large amounts of cash are necessarily

828
01:31:26,174 --> 01:31:26,174
great ideas here, but if you have to, don't do something that

829
01:31:30,913 --> 01:31:34,583
tips off somebody that's watching you.  In keeping with those things, what I wanted to bring to you guys tonight is

830
01:31:38,787 --> 01:31:38,787
you'll see these signs popping up throughout the city in the

831
01:31:42,790 --> 01:31:42,790
next couple of weeks.  This sign we stole from city of fort

832
01:31:48,998 --> 01:31:48,998
lauderdale, I contacted their unit who noticed these signs

833
01:31:55,537 --> 01:31:55,537
were putting up in sections of the area where higher valued

834
01:32:00,675 --> 01:32:00,675
vehicles were taken.  They were noticing a decrease in the

835
01:32:04,947 --> 01:32:04,947
number of high end auto thefts occurring in this area.  They

836
01:32:09,551 --> 01:32:12,889
reached out and said this is something you might want to can go doing, we got this signs in, we had an opportunity to meet

837
01:32:18,027 --> 01:32:18,027
with the hoa presidents last night, they were all recr.  You

838
01:32:31,775 --> 01:32:31,775
see those in some of the parks as we move forward.  We ordered

839
01:32:35,978 --> 01:32:35,978
about 100 signs, we are mindful of the aesthetics of the

840
01:32:41,784 --> 01:32:44,787
community, we'll be careful about how we put them out but we do want to try and find a way to rebrand and reeducate our folks

841
01:32:50,460 --> 01:32:50,460
on what they could do to keep the community safer.

842
01:32:54,731 --> 01:32:58,535
>>  great idea, as long as it's not like the election. >>  and again, coordinating through nancy or tod, reaching

843
01:33:05,608 --> 01:33:05,608
out to some of the businesses. There are a lot of people that

844
01:33:13,082 --> 01:33:16,552
may frequent those places so it might be something that a business maybe will to go put in place. >>  that's a great idea. >>  for sure.

845
01:33:19,223 --> 01:33:22,892
>>  anyone else? >>  thank you. >>  comments by the coral springs parkland fire

846
01:33:30,300 --> 01:33:33,102
department. >>  good evening, I got your back too.  An osha thing, it's not a fire-fighter thing, it's

847
01:33:39,443 --> 01:33:39,443
an osha thing.  In the city of parkland last month, we had 2

848
01:33:47,317 --> 01:33:47,317
one and 2 total incident, one 41 of them were fired ems, 139 ems

849
01:33:54,123 --> 01:33:54,123
and fire calls.  We want to thank you for coming to the fire

850
01:33:59,663 --> 01:33:59,663
opes, sorry I couldn't join you, but I'm glad to hear you had a

851
01:34:04,468 --> 01:34:04,468
good time.  Yesterday our vaccination site delivered it's

852
01:34:12,743 --> 01:34:12,743
45,000th shot to the community which encompasses many people in

853
01:34:19,485 --> 01:34:19,485
the city of parkland.  As the vaccination is becoming more

854
01:34:24,021 --> 01:34:24,021
available, we don't have a date yet as to when that site may

855
01:34:28,293 --> 01:34:32,229
wind down but it's on the horizon.  Contrary to that, now that the age is 18 and above, that site is already overwhelmed

856
01:34:36,833 --> 01:34:40,638
and they're ready.  It's going to be an interesting task to make sure that the commercially available vaccine is available

857
01:34:42,973 --> 01:34:46,910
and yet not closing down the site because more people are now eligible to get it.  And other than that, just because I'm a

858
01:34:51,916 --> 01:34:51,916
history nerd, today is marjorie stoneman douglas' birthday.  I

859
01:35:01,526 --> 01:35:01,526
think it's interesting how one person can make such a big

860
01:35:06,597 --> 01:35:09,067
difference in the community. >>  thank you very much. Comments by the city manager. None out loud.

861
01:35:17,808 --> 01:35:19,944
>>  comments by the city attorney? >>  no comments tonight.  Sorry, mayor.

862
01:35:22,814 --> 01:35:22,814
>>  motion to adjourn. >>  motion to adjourn.  Second.

863
01:35:26,952 --> 01:35:26,952
>>  okay.  Meeting
