Council member comments, who would like to lead us off? 22 00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:34,159 I'll go really quick. Um, hi folks. David Kazinski, District 4. Just uh 23 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,880 remind folks to keep your foot off the gas pedal in town. Keep obey the speed 24 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,799 limits. Um, very important thing going on uh with the speeding going on. 25 00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:48,960 Second, um it was kind of brought to me before the 26 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:52,960 uh last um comp plan meeting that some of these commercial signs that are on 27 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:57,360 the sides of the swale, commercial signs that are put in the swale um primarily 28 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:03,119 real estate signs, any signs that use a four 4x4 for a brace. Um folks are 29 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:10,239 pulling up the signs when the home sells and nobody's filling in the holes. These 30 00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:16,640 are very detrimental to a horse. If a horse horse's foot lands in there, 31 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:21,840 there's a big problem. Um, uh, I think after the next meeting, I'm 32 00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:26,959 going to ask code to start pulling those signs up and doing what we can because 33 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,400 we got to protect our horses. And I'm just giving a a fair warning. If you got 34 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:35,879 signs in the soil, any real estate agent, your sign may be gone. That's it. 35 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,239 I'm sorry, can't hear you. >> Is your mic on? 36 00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:41,239 » Yeah. 37 00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:48,400 » I did have a situation with a property across the street from me where they 38 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,239 were going to put a sign right above on the road and was a metal one with 39 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:56,480 hanging stuff and I explained to the gentleman that I wasn't going to listen 40 00:02:53,519 --> 00:03:01,440 to that all day long. And and the second you drive away, that thing's going to be 41 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:06,000 on its way to somewhere else. And uh I showed him on the fence line where to 42 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:10,400 put it and it he put it right on the fence line and it's still there and it's 43 00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:13,599 fine, but no horse goes on, you know, >> fence line is legal. Yep. 44 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,239 » So just a suggestion. >> Yeah. 45 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,920 » You know, >> they can move the signs back. That's 46 00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:19,040 fine. >> Okay. Any anybody else have comments, 47 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:25,519 Bob? >> Uh just u two quick ones. Um first is uh 48 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:30,239 gentlemen and including George. I'll include George's gentleman. 49 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,400 » George Mars. George Morris. Calling George Morris. 50 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,440 » Stand up. >> Um, I am the town's representative on 51 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,840 the Metropolitan Planning Organization, the [laughter] MO. Uh, it's been an 52 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:47,040 interesting uh experience for the last six years. And as I retire from public 53 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:53,200 service, you have to be elected to be on the NO. So, I can no longer serve in 54 00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:59,040 that role. Um, if you are interested, somebody's got to be interested because 55 00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:02,239 we need to appoint somebody. George. Um, but in any case, 56 00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:08,247 » tradition from district one. >> Uh, yeah, there you go. Um, well, it was 57 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,599 D before me, but so maybe you're up. [laughter] 58 00:04:09,557 --> 00:04:14,720 [snorts] >> In any case, um, it's it's been very 59 00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:18,799 interesting. It's it's kind of like the League of Cities for you, Jim. You get 60 00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:22,800 to know most of the other leaders, uh, from each one of the other cities, 61 00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:27,040 municipalities around Broward County. Um, you certainly understand what's 62 00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:30,720 going on in terms of new roads and all the different projects that they spend 63 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:34,880 money on. You also get to hear Century Village fight against the DOT because 64 00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:38,400 they don't want this and they don't want that. So, gives you a lot of information 65 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,960 about what's going on in the county in terms of our transportation system. So, 66 00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:47,520 think about it. Uh, somebody needs to be appointed by the council. Sorry. 67 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,120 » Was that a motion by you to appoint George Morris? 68 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,960 » Uh, I make the motion. I'll be happy to once you sworn. I 69 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,960 can't. >> Well, you can say it pending swearing 70 00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,400 in. >> Yeah, there you go. Yeah. [laughter] Um 71 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:04,400 I will make the motion this evening to appoint George Mars pending him being 72 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,440 sworn in being out of jail at the time. >> Second. [laughter] 73 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,720 » Double second. >> But uh I heard a second. 74 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,759 » Yeah, double. We got a motion. 75 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:19,360 » We have a second and a third this time. >> Do we have any discussion on the motion? 76 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:24,360 » Oh, no. [laughter] >> Public comment. Madame clerk, can you 77 00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:24,360 call the role? 78 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,039 » Council member Hartman, >> yes. 79 00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:29,919 » Council member Kazinski, >> yes. 80 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,160 » Council member Albert and Council Member, Vice Mayor Jablonsky, 81 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:37,840 » yes. [applause] >> Thank you, Keith. 82 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:41,360 That's resolved. Um, one other thing, uh, we haven't taken official council 83 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,759 photo >> for this council, 84 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:50,080 » uh, at the, uh, the meeting on the 14th next month. If you would, um, show up 85 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,240 with a jacket on. We we don't traditionally wear ties. You'll stand 86 00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:58,800 out if you're wearing a tie, but uh you know, I typically wear my council shirt 87 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,400 and a jacket like Gary has on. So, sport jacket, whatever you're comfortable in. 88 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:06,400 So, that'll be our next council meeting. So, just remember, and I'm sure Russell 89 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:09,199 will remind you along the way as well. That's all I have. Mh. Mr. Vice Mayor, 90 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,440 thank you. >> Thank you very much, Councilman Jim. 91 00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:18,000 » I'll be brief. >> I'll be brief. I'd just like to remind 92 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:24,560 everybody that uh the town hall will be closed on September the 11th, 911, but 93 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:30,639 we are having a ceremony here at town hall uh at 8:00. We'll be uh remembering 94 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:36,080 those who passed away and the first responders who passed away, those that 95 00:06:33,039 --> 00:06:41,039 passed away after from the environment. Uh it's, you know, we can't forget this. 96 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:44,560 This will be the 25th anniversary. at 8:46 97 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:49,120 we'll lower the main flag that the American flag to half mass and you know 98 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,479 it'll probably break up around 9 a little after 9:00. So I'd love for 99 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:58,240 anyone that can make it to please show up September the 18th. The veterans are 100 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:04,160 having their ice cream social here at town hall at 3:00. Uh if you are a 101 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:08,000 veteran, know a veteran, uh call Miss December or me and and let us know 102 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:11,759 you're coming so we can get an idea how much ice cream. All right. I'd hate to 103 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:17,360 buy 15 gallons of ice cream and have to eat most of it myself. All right, but if 104 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:22,400 you know a veteran, uh, please get in touch with them and I I think this is 105 00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:26,880 going along pretty well. We have 240, I know you've heard me say this, we have 106 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:31,199 about 80 something that we know of and this will start to grow and and I'm very 107 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,479 proud that that uh we're recognizing the veterans. And then last, you know, in 108 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,680 the past couple days, I've been paying attention to the news. I don't know if 109 00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:42,080 you all realize that they're going to close 10 schools in Broward County. 110 00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:46,319 Public schools are getting closed and the others they're consolidating, but 111 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,639 they're consolidating sixth grade through 12th grade in one school. Now, 112 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:55,840 back when you were young and and going to school as a sixth grader, you really 113 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,919 didn't hang around with 12th graders, but that's what six and a half. There's 114 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:05,599 a number of schools that convert from six to 12. And I I just think it's 115 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:10,240 wrong. And I'm not sure how that anybody could stop it or what. They say there's 116 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:15,199 no funding. Uh there's somewhere close to 100,000 people a year move to Broward 117 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:20,400 County. And you know, all of those aren't over the age of 18. So they're 118 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:23,759 not in school. But it's the private schools. There's 250 private schools in 119 00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:26,080 Broward County right now. >> That's it. 120 00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:30,240 » That are taking the money and the vouchers. So it's really hurting our 121 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:33,519 public school education. And I think the public school education is probably one 122 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,039 of the best there is. But this is something that's going on and I keep 123 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:40,959 watching it. Uh my wife was in education. 124 00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:45,279 All three of my uh uh kids were in education and it's just a shame to see 125 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,000 that something like this is going on. But uh you know, I'm just keeping an eye 126 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,560 on it just to let you know what's happening with it. That's all I have for 127 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:55,440 Mayor. >> Thank you, Councilman Albert. Um I'll be 128 00:08:53,839 --> 00:09:01,440 really quick. I've got just a few notices to to talk about. Um, hazmat at 129 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:07,519 the park is coming up on October 11th from 8 to 2. Um, we have uh new park 130 00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:11,760 signs that are going being fabricated as we speak, be installed in five of our 131 00:09:09,839 --> 00:09:18,080 parks. They're built just like our entranceway signs to the town. 132 00:09:14,791 --> 00:09:24,000 [clears throat] Um, our I'm pleased to announce that our uh town pioneer of the 133 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:29,440 year is Mr. Bob Hartman. it'll be honored in the uh November uh meeting 134 00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:34,240 which will be held somewhere in downtown Fort Lauderdale. 135 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:38,080 So that's uh well earned. >> Thank you. 136 00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:45,279 » We also have a photo contest where uh for the calendar it's due on the 9th of 137 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:50,800 September. All submissions sent in to uh Susan at the uh main office. Um, we're 138 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:58,880 going to have the grand opening of the pavilion at the uh, sanctuary park on 139 00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:04,640 the 14th. Is that correct? At 5:00 pm. Okay. Marching band shows up at 4:30. 140 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:10,560 So, no, just kidding. There's no band. Um, and just an FYI, we're closed on 141 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:16,320 Labor Day, which I believe is 7, right? The town hall is closed that Monday on 142 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:21,440 Labor Day. So, and uh, that's all I have right now. Any legal comments? 143 00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:27,279 » I'll I'll be quick. Vice Mayor, um Russell and I were able to come to terms 144 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:31,600 today with the uh owner of the uh future fire station property, public safety 145 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:36,560 property to extend the due diligence until we get the results back on the 146 00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:42,640 water testing. Um it should be done no later than September 9th. We will then 147 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:49,120 actively move on closing subject to a decent uh response from that test. Um, 148 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:54,320 finally spoke to the property appraisers office today. I believe you all know 149 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:59,120 this. Um, uh, that the town was, uh, the highest in Broward County in terms of, 150 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:04,079 uh, increase in residential values this year. Um, some of our residents are 151 00:11:01,839 --> 00:11:08,560 getting hit with tax bills that may be surprising to them uh, because they've 152 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:12,480 made improvements to their property and they've been reassessed as a result of 153 00:11:10,959 --> 00:11:16,959 certain improvements made to their property. If that occurred to a resident 154 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:22,720 who's watching, property appraiser said, "Do not hesitate to file an appeal with 155 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:26,800 the GAB. It's a one-page appeal. File it and they'll be happy to work with you 156 00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:31,279 after that appeal is filed uh to determine if that reassessment should 157 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:34,640 have occurred." VAB means what? Value adjustment board. Sorry. Thank you. 158 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,640 That >> it. 159 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:41,839 » Okay. Any administration comments? >> Yes, Vice Mayor.

Staff will be requesting a withdrawal of this item for 162 00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:54,880 tonight. Um, we will be bringing it back on the 14th. We got a late proposal uh 163 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:57,839 update on there and so we just like to bring it back to council on the 14th 164 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,399 when we have some more information for >> Do we need a motion for that? 165 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,200 » No, we're going to just withdraw it and we'll bring it back.

Uh, moving on to item number eight. Madam clerk, can you read that 169 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,200 into the record? >> Uh, for purpose of the record, we made 170 00:12:14,959 --> 00:12:21,680 one amendment uh to this item. They're not seeking sewer service. They're only 171 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:25,680 seeking water service. Pines agreements, new just because you mentioned it. 172 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:29,920 Pine's agreements always say water and sewer. So, uh, when the drafter the 173 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,120 resolution drafted it, they copied the agreement, but they're only seeking 174 00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:37,839 water. So, we've amended the resolution accordingly. 175 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,880 This is a resolution of the town council of the town of Southwest Ranches, 176 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:46,240 Florida, consenting to the city of Perick Pines providing water service to 177 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:49,760 a 6821 Hancock Road, real property lying within the town of Southwest Ranches, 178 00:12:48,079 --> 00:12:53,920 providing that no further expansion of service shall occur within the town's 179 00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:56,880 written consent, providing for a certified copy to be furnished to the 180 00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:59,360 city of Perk Pines and providing for an effective date. 181 00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:04,800 » Want to make a motion to approve without the sewer aspect of the resolution. 182 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:09,839 » Second. Okay, we have a motion in a second. Uh, 183 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:14,880 anything you want to bring forward? >> Uh, only that this is u a request to 184 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:21,440 connect to the Pemrook Pines Water Utility. Uh, the closest location that 185 00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:25,360 uh um this will be connecting from is uh proposed service from the old Sheridan 186 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:30,399 site, the church site that's there off old Sheridan currently receives water um 187 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:35,440 from Pemrick Pines. And so the line will be running uh north on on Hancock to 188 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:40,320 that location. It's also going to pass by a a prior property owner that was 189 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:44,240 previously approved, I should say, uh for Pepper Pine Service. Yeah, it's a 190 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,560 next door neighbor that's on Mustang Trail. 191 00:13:44,959 --> 00:13:50,160 » Okay, very good. Thank you. Is there any discussion from the council? 192 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:56,160 » Just a quick question. So I know that the the old church that's there has 193 00:13:52,959 --> 00:13:59,519 water service. Are they the only ones in Sunshine Ranchers that have Pines Water 194 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,199 at this point? >> Uh, well, besides the one that was just 195 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,240 recently approved, but they haven't been installed yet. So, that's correct. Yes. 196 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,600 » Okay. Thank you. >> You're welcome. 197 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:15,839 » Any other questions from discussion? Any public questions?
