THREE MINUTES. >> GOOD EVENING MR. MAYOR.

AND COMMISSION MEMBERS I'M RALPH RABBA LIVE AT 7402 NORTHWEST 61ST TERRACE IN PARKLAND, FLORIDA.

I'M HERE TO STATE MY CASE TO THE COMMISSION, MYSELF AND THE OWNER OF THE POTENTIAL LOCATION FOR THE RURAL G BREWING COMPANY. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE COMMISSION FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR MONTHS.

AT THIS POINT WE ARE HERE TO ASK EITHER FOR DEFINITIVE NO OR A DEFINITIVE YES AS TO WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE ABLE TO APPLY FOR A SPECIAL EXEMPTION, APPLICATION THAT WE CAN BEGIN THE PROCESS OF SETTING UP THE BUSINESS THAT I WISH TO FORM HERE IN PARKLAND. THIS IS GOING TO BE A RESTAURANT THAT WILL BE SET ASIDE BY THE FACT IT WILL BE BREWING OUR OWN BEER THERE. THIS THE BREW PUB.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE.

THE OTHER PUEBLOS HERE OF THE COMMISSION, IT'S A FAMILY

[00:10:06]

WE PLAN TO HAVE A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN COME TO BE YOUR FAMILY. WITH YOUR DOG IF YOU WANT TO.

PUT A BOWL OF WATER OUT FRONT. THIS IS SITUATION WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A COMMUNITY AREA WHERE PARKLANDERS AND THOSE WHO ARE AROUND US COULD COME AND ENJOY FRESHLY BREWED BEER, FOOD, FRIENDSHIP, ACTIVITIES.

I BELIEVE PERSONALLY AND MR. CHESBANI WOULD AGREE WITH ME THIS WILL BE A BENEFIT TO THIS COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE WAITED AND WE'VE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND UNDER THE IMPRESS WE WOULD HAVE ANSWER OF ONE WAY OF THE OTHER AFTER THIS POINT IN TIME. UNFORTUNATELY THAT ANSWER HAS NOT BEEN FORTHCOMING. I'M AT THE POINT NOW WHERE IF I CANNOT GET A DEFINIIVE YES FROM THIS COMMISSION, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO DO BUSINESS.

I KNOW THAT MR. CHESBANI HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THE SITUATION. HE HAS BEEN VERY INVOLVED WITH THIS. AND HE CURRENTLY IS BEING DETRIMENTALLY EFFECTED BY THIS SITUATION BECAUSE HE'S UNABLE TO IF I'M NOT ABLE TO GO IN THERE, NO ONE IS ABLE TO GO INTO THAT BUSINESS AND MAKE HIM THE MONEY THAT HE DESERVES. HE'S A PARKLAND RESIDENT.

I'M A PARKLAND RESIDENT. I'M HERE TO COBUSINESS.

IF THE CITY SAYS NO, I SHALL THANK YOU AND I SHALL MOVE ON.

IF THE CITY SAYS YES, I SHALL GO FULL STEAM AHEAD.

I DON'T KNOW RULE G HAS GONE THROUGH.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO.

IF YOU'VE BEEN TALKING TO THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FILL YOU IN OFF -- OUTSIDE OF THIS.

SO FAR IT'S VERY, VERY SLOW. IF A BAKERY WANTS TO OPEN UP THERE'S NO PROVISIONS. WE NEED TO GET YOU KNOW YOU WILL BE DOING THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE GOLF COURSE THAT WILL GET P DEVELOPED. WE NEED TO GET ONBOARD.

THE CITY HAS -- I PAY MY TAXES.

>> THANK YOU. COMMISSION BRIER; COMMISSIONER

[00:15:07]

AND I THINK JUST A TRIBUTE TO THEM I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZED WE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO AN OFF DUTY FORMER FIREFIGHTER WHO SAVED SOMEONE OR LENT HELP. WE HEARD STORY AFTER STORY OF OUR OWN ALSO FIREFIGHTERS WHO OVER THE COURSE OF LAST YEAR HAVE SAVED MULTIPLE LIVES AND PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE FOR SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY.

A LOT IS SAID ABOUT SAFETY IN PARK.

A LOT SAID ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITY IN THE WELL-BEING OF ALL THE RESIDENT SAFE AND SOUND.

THEY ARE VERY MUCH OWED THAT GRATITUDE AND RESPONSIBILITY.

WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF THEM. THEY WIN AWARDS.

THEY CONSTANTLY STRIVING FOR EVIDENCE.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD TAKE SERIOUSLY AND TAKING A LOT OF PRIDE IN. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

ALSO PRAFRPTED -- PARTICIPATED IN THE 4TH OF JULY PARADE.

TAKE A LOT TO PUT SOMETHING OF THAT SIZE AND SCALE.

IT WAS FUN FOR RESIDENT. MY FAMILY HAD A GREAT TIME.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO THAT YEAR OVER YEAR.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO KIND OF YOU KNOW EVERYONE HAVE THOUGHT OF PEOPLE SURFSIDE.

YOU KNOW THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS WHERE YOU SEE EVERYONE COME TOGETHER AND YOU REALIZE THAT TRAGEDY COMES IN, IN MANY DIFFERENT FORMS THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT'S UNSPEAKABLE, UNIMAGINABLE. I KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS FAMILY EFFECTED BY IT. AND YOU KNOW THIS IS THE TIME WHEREAS RESIDENTS WE'RE USUALLY GOOD AT BEING THERE AND SUPPORTING OTHERS NOT JUST IN OUR COMMUNITY BUT BEYOND.

I WOULD ASK THAT EVERYONE TO CONTRIBUTE EITHER JUST MONEY OR ANY SUPPLIES OR WHATEVER FOR THE RESCUERS, FOR THE FAMILIES WHO ARE EFFECTED. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU. >> COMMISSIONER ISROW.

COMMISSIONER CUTLER. >> I WILL ADD ON TO THAT.

WE IN PARKLAND KNOW VERY WELL WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GO THROUGH A TRAGEDY. TO HAVE OUR COMMUNITY SUFFER AND I WANT TO EXTEND TO THE SURFSIDE PEOPLE AND TO FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF ALL OF THOSE THAT WERE LOST THERE OUR SINCERE HOPES AND CONDOLENCES AND PRAYERS THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES THROUGH THIS VERY DIFFICULT TIME AS WHAT HAPPENED HERE IN OUR CITY.

I KNOW THEY ARE SETTING UP STATION FOR THEM WITH TRAINED PERSONAL TO DEAL WITH SOME OF THE YOU KNOW JUST THE TERRIBLE SHOCK THAT I KNOW THEY ARE FEELING AND I WANT TO OUR OF THEM TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT JUST LIKE WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY. IT'S IT'S A TERRIBLE DAY I THERE'D THIS AFTERNOON THEY DECIDED IT'S NOT SO MUCH RESCUE BUT MORE OF AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAR IS SITE.

I WOULD LIKE TO PERSONAL I WILL FIREFIGHTER PERSONAL WHO SPENT TIME AT SURFSIDE HELPING WITH THE RESCUE OPERATIONS.

AS JORDAN POINTED OUT WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY ON THE 29TH TO GO TO THE FIREFIGHTER AWARD CEREMONY AND HEAR THE STORIES AND BRAVERY OF MEN AND WOMEN THAT SERVE US IN THEIR CAPACITIES AND SAVING LIVES. AND I KNOW THAT THOSE ARE PEOPLE WITH HIGH LEVELS OF EMPATHY AND THEY CARE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY THEY SERVE. AND I KNOW THAT THIS HAS HAD A DIFFICULT IMPACT ON THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO SAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE. YOU HAVE MY SINCERE HOPES THAT YOUR MEN AND WOMEN SEEK THE CARE THEY NEED AND ARE ABLE TO NAVIGATE WHAT IS JUST A TRAGIC SITUATION.

BEYOND THAT, I WANTED TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY HAVE STARTED THEIR MEETINGS UP AGAIN. LIBRARY NOW ACCEPTING USED BOOKS. I KNOW THAT OVER COVID A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN READING BOOKS.

YOU MUST HAVE THINGS TO DONATE.

EATS AND BEATS WAS INCREDIBLE. PENNY HEARTS BAND DID AN AMAZING JOB. THAT WAS REALLYING A ROCKING EVENT. I WANT TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW AT THE CAB MEETING NEXT WEEK ON TUESDAY THE 13TH AT 6:00 P.M. HISTORICAL SOCIETY WILL MAKE A PRESENTATION TO THEM.

JUST WHICH I'M SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF.

YOUR SKAF GETS THAT THIS DOWN THEREMENT THE SUPPORT THEY CARE THEMSELVES, BECAUSE NO ONE IS IMMUNE FROM THE TRAUMA.

IT'S HEART WRENCHING. JUST TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE OKAY IN THEIR SEARCH-AND-RESCUE MISSION.

I ALSO WANTED TO JUST TO MENTION CHRISTINASTEIN WAS AWARDED THE COACH OF YEAR AS WELL AS COACH FITZ ALSO AWARDED THE COACH OF THE YEAR FOR STONEMAN DOUGLAS BASEBALL TEAM. THE EMERALD SOCIETY WANT TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR A GREAT BREAKFAST THEY HAD.

ALSO WANT TO MENTION OUR VICE-MAYOR WAS HONORED AS THE HONORARY IRISH PERSON OF THE YEAR FOR 2021 AND FORMER MAYOR AND STATE REP WAS HONORED BECAUSE OF COAST LAST YEAR AS THE IRISH MOTHER OF THE YEAR FOR 2020.

HER SON GAVE A POWERFUL SPEECH.

AS FAR AS AGAIN ECHOING THE SAME SENTIMENTS REGARDING THE CORAL SPRINGS PARKLAND ANNUAL AWARDS CEREMONY I'M JUST AMAZED HEARING THE RESCUE STORIES IT'S INCREDIBLE.

I WANTED TO GET THAT OUT THERE ON THE RECORD.

IT'S PARKS AND REC MONTH. PARKS AND RECS IS MORE THAN PLAYING SOCCER OR BASEBALL. IT'S WALKING ON THE TRAILS.

PARKLAND HAS A TON OF TRAILS. BRIAN ARCHER.

[7. Approval of the Agenda]

>> SECOND. >> MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER BRIER, SECOND BY VICE-MAYOR MAYORSON?

>> ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE.

SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT

[8. Consent Agenda]

AGENDA. >> MOTION TO APPROVE BY VISIT MAYOR MAYERSOHN AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ISROW.

ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK ON ANY OF THE CONSENT

AGENDA ITEMS? >> IF NOT, ROLL CALL.

[9. Regular Agenda]

COMMISSIONER; THE RESOLUTION THAT ANTHONY READ IN TIES IN WITH THE NEXT TWO RESOLUTIONS. I HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION TO GO OVER THE THREE. AGAIN I'M CHRIS THE FINANCE D.

I HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION SINCE WE HAVE TWO NEW COMMISSIONERS. I WANT TO WALK THROUGH WHAT THE BUDGET PROCESS IS FOR THE CITY OF PARKLAND.

IT'S GOVERNED VERY STRICTLY BY FLORIDA STATUTES AND VARIOUS OTHER STATUES THAT WE HAVE TO ABIDE BY TO RECEIVE OUR STATE FUNDING AND OUR TAX MONEY. THE FIRST PART OF THE PROCESS HERE WE ARE TONIGHT ON JULY 7TH.

YOUR MISSION TONIGHT SET THE MAXIMUM MILLAGE RATE FOR AUGUST. YOU WILL SET THE SOLID WASTE ASSESSMENT THAT WILL BE ON THE NOTICE AND THE FIRE ASSESSMENT FEE. THEN WE'VE GIVEN YOU A BALANCE BUDGET. WE GIVE YOU YOUR BUDGET BOOKS TO NIGHT. YOU WILL NOW HAVE FIVE WEEKS OR SO TO REVIEW IT. BEFORE ALL OF US REVIEWING.

BEFORE THAT ON AUGUST 11TH, AT 6:00 ALE HAVE ONE WITH THE RESIDENT WORKSHOP. WE WILL HAVE IT HERES IN CHAMBER. CITIZENS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

STAFF WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THAT WE HAVE ON THE UPCOMING BOUGHT.

ON AUGUST 8TH WE'LL HAVE A WORKSHOP FOR YOU ALL TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON WHAT -- WHAT YOU ALL READ AND THE PROPOSED BUDGET BOOK. AND THEN THE FIRST OFFICIAL PUBLIC HEARING IS ON SEPTEMBER 13 AT TAT THAT'S WHERE YOU WILL FINALIZE THE SOLID WASTE ASSESSMENT AND THEN IT ALL WRAPS UP THAT'S SEPTEMBER 13TH, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE CANNOT HAVE OUR MEETING ON THE SAME NIGHT AS THE COUNTY OR THE SCHOOL BOARD.

[00:30:01]

IT'S OFF SCHEDULE FROM THE NORMAL WEDNESDAY NIGHT METINGS. AND THEN THE FINAL AND SECOND PUBLIC HEARING SEPTEMBER 22ND. THAT'S WHERE WE WILL OFFICIALLY ADOPT THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET.

TONIGHT WE'RE PRESENTING YOU A BALANCED BUDGET THAT'S BASED ON THE VALUE OF OVER 6 BILLION DOLLARS.

6.2% INCREASE FROM 5.7 BILLION.

OF THAT 350 MILLION INCREASE, 1226 MILLION WAS ATTRIBUTED TO NEW CONSTRUCTION AND ABOUT 132 MILLION CONTRIBUTED TO THE HOMES. AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S ABOUT 2.3% IS WHAT WE -- IS THE INCREASE THAT WE U.S.ED FROM THE HOMES.

AND I WANT TO POINT THIS OUT, BECAUSE YOU KNOW ONCE WE GET THE BUILD THAT'S ABOUT WHAT OUR YEARLY INCREASE WILL BE RIGHT AROUND 2 TO 3%. AND FOR THIS YEAR IT PROVIDED ABOUT 450,000 IN ADDITIONAL REVENUE.

WITH THERE PROPOSED BUDGET IN FRONT OF YOU WE PROPOSE KEEPING THE MILITARY THE SAME 4.29.

NO INCREASE IN PROPOSED MILLAGE.

JUST BASED ON THE NEW PROPERTY VALUE THAT I JUST TOUCHED ON BRIEFLY, THAT WILL PROVIDE THE CITY ABOUT JUST UNDER 1.4 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL. THIS REALLY COMES INTO PLAY.

THE PROBLEMS IS ANT 4.2. THAT WOULD GIVE THE CITY ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF REV AS IT GENERATED LAST YEAR.

FOR THE FIRE ASSESSMENT WE'RE PROPOSING NO CHANGE IN THE FIRE ASSESSMENT. IT'S STILL THE SAME 250 PER RESIDENTIAL UNIT. ALWAYS WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS YEAR OUR FIRE SERVICE CONTRACT INCREASED ABOUT 360,000. RIGHT NOW THE CURRENT AVERAGE FIRE ASSESSMENT IS ABOUT 295. HERE'S A HISTORY OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN AT FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS.

OR LAST SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE OF 2019 FOR ADDITIONAL RESCUE UNIT AND FIRE STATION 42. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THIS UPCOMING PROPOSED BUDGET IS TO REDO THE FIRE ASSESSMENT FEE STUDY. IT HASN'T BEEN DONE SINCE 2010. IT'S DEFINITELY YOU KNOW PASSED DUE TO DO THAT. WE'LL REVISIT THAT AND SEE WHAT STUDY COMES OUT. BACK IN 2010 THEY TOLD US WE GET CHARGED AS MUCH 434 IN 2016.

IT'S DEFINITELY -- DEFINITELY TIME TO UPDATE THAT STUDY.

THE LAST PART OF THE TRIM NOTICE IS YOUR SOLID WASTE ASSESSMENT. THAT GOES UP $13.68.

FROM 3.89 AND THIS MERELY A PASS THROUGH BASED ON OUR CONTRACT OF WASTE MANAGEMENT. ACTUALLY THE CPIS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER AND THAT. WE HAD A CEILING BUILT INTO THE CONTRACT THIS YEAR. WE WERE CAPPED AT THAT CEILING. AND I DO WANT TO POINT THIS OUT WHILE THIS CURRENT YEAR FY-22 IS BALANCED.

BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW LOOKING FORWARD.

THE POTENTIAL MILLAGE RATE INCREASE.

THE SLIDES ABOUT 2-3% INCREASE EVERY YEAR.

AND BEING A VETERAN COMMUNITY WE'RE 81 TO 82% HOMESTEADED PROPERTIES. 81 TO 82% OF OUR HOMES WILL ONLY SEE 1.3% INCREASE IN TAXES.

GREAT FOR THE HOMEOWNERS, NOT SO GREAT FOR US AS THE CITY.

ADDITIONALLY FY-24 IF WE PROCEED WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARK. THEN THE OPERATIONAL COST FOR THAT PARK WERE BUILT IN AND FY-'24 WITH THE 2-3% INCREASE REVENUE. THAT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO COVER YOUR CORAL SPRINGS FIRE RESCUE CONTRACTS.

THAT'S WHY STARTING IN 2024 MILITARY DECISIONS WILL HAVE TO BE MADE. AND I KNOW THAT'S GOING TO BE NEXT SPRING.WHEN WE CONVENE - BUT IT'S KIND OF FRAME OF REFERENCE RIGHT NOW, EVERY.1MILL ABOUT 600,000

[00:35:03]

SCHEDULE WITH ME OR NANCY. SHERRIE IS HERE TO HELP.

GIVE SHERRIE A LOT OF CREDIT FOR EVERYTHING.

SHE'S THE BRAINS BEHIND THE BOOKS THAT YOU WERE GIVEN TONIGHT. SHE'S INSTRUMENTAL IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD BE STANDING HERE TONIGHT WITHOUT HERE AND HER HELP PUTTING THIS BOOK TOGETHER. WE'LL MAKE SURE SHE GETS THE CREDIT. AND WITH THAT I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANYONE HAVE -- COMMISSIONER BRIER?

>> JUST FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES, FOR OUR RESIDENT WHOSE ARE BOTH HERE AND WATCHING.

OUR MILLAGE RATE WAS SET TO BE 4.4.

>> 4.4 IS WHAT WITH PROPOSED. BECAUSE OF COVID AND THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF THAT THE COMMISSIONER DECIDED TO DO THE ROLL BACK RATE OF 4.29. WE'RE MAINTAINING THAT.

ESSENTIALLY WE'LL CALL IT THE 2020 ROLL BACK RATE AS OUR

PROPOSED RATE FOR THIS YEAR. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> VICE-MAYOR? >> NANCY, THE SOLID WASTE ASSESSMENT. DID WE FIND OUT WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD ADD THE COST FOR THE WASTE GENERATION STUDY TO

THAT? >> WE'RE STILL RESEARCHING

THAT QUESTION. >> ANYONE ELSE?

>> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? SORRY COMMISSIONER CUTLER.

>> CHRIS, SO IF I'M UNDERSTAND FROM YOUR DISCUSSION IN THE UPCOMING YEAR, PARTICULARLY IN THE 2024 TIME FRAME WE WILL BE LOOKING AT A NEED TO INCREASE THE MILLAGE RATE BECAUSE OF WHAT IS A PROJECTED SHORTFUL ON OUR ABILITY TO PAY FOR THE

SURFACES THAT ARE RENDERED. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> AND WHY IS STAFF THEN RECOMMENDING THAT THIS STAGE NOT TO INCREASE THE MILLAGE RATE IN RAMP UP TO 2024 RATHER THAN HITTING THE CITY WITH A LARGER MILLAGE RATE 2-3 YEARS FROM NOW WE'RE NOT RAMPING UP TO SOMETHING THAT WILL PUT US IN A BETTER POSTURE. YOU KNOW AS I MENTIONED FOR YOU. WE WERE ABLE TO BALANCE THIS BUDGET. WE FELT AT THIS POINT SINCE WE WERE BALANCED THERE WAS NO NEED TO ATTEMPT INCREASE.

IF YOU WANT TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM MILLAGE TONIGHT, IT'S YOUR DECISION TO DO SO KNOWING AGAIN THAT'S WHAT IS GOING TO GO ON THE TREND NOTICES TO RESIDENTS IN AUGUST.

>> THAT'S A PROJECTION IN 2024.

THAT YOU ARE PROJECTING THAT WE WOULD POTENTIALLY NEED TO RAISE THE MILLAGE RATE. AND RIGHT NOW BASED ON WHAT I SAW IN YOUR PRESENTATION WE COULD POTENTIALLY DO A SLOW WE WOULDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO DO A LARGE INCREASE.

>> IF I COULD ADD SOME MORE INFORMATION TO THAT.

I WILL TELL YOU WE NEED TO INCREASE OUR MILLAGE RATE IN 2024. IT'S NOT A PROJECTION.

I WILL BE A NEED. NOW WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO COMMISSION TO DO IS DETERMINE IN STRATEGIC PLANNING WHAT IS THE BEST WAY FOR US TO IMPLEMENT THE INCREASES NEEDED. WE WILL COME UP WITH THE AMOUNT NEEDED AT LEAST 3 TO 5 YEARS OUT TO KEEP BALANCED BUDGET. IT'S COMMISSION DECISION ONE BIGGER INCREASE OR STAGGER IT AND DO IT OVER TIME THREE TO FIVE YEARS. WE BELIEVE IT COULD BE STAGGERED STARTING IN 2024 FOR 3-5 YEARS.

THAT'S WHY YOU ARE NOT SEEING A MILLAGE INCREASE IN THIS BUDGET. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE BALANCED. AND THAT WAS A VERY DIFFICULT GOAL. YOU DIDN'T SEE ALL THE WORK THAT WENT BEHIND THE SCENES. THAT'S WHAT CHRIS'S DEPARTMENT DOES. THEY PRESENTED A BALANCED BUDGET. THERE WAS CUTS WE DID INTERNALLY AND THINGS WE DONE. WE'RE COMFORTABLE.

AND THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

THAT OPERATIONALLY WE'RE COMFORTABLE BUT IT'S ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WE WON'T BE IN TWO YEARS.

I DON'T WANT TO MISLEAD OR MISGUIDE YOU ANY OTHER WAY.

[00:40:03]

>> PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE WE'RE HIGHLY RESIDENTIAL.

WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF COMMERCIAL.

A POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL PROPERTY WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY AND POTENTIALLY TRYING TO ENTICE NEW BUSINESSES TO COME IN WOULD ALSO POTENTIALLY HELP --

>> NEW CONSTRUCTION. >> TO HAVE NEW BUSINESSES COME INTO THE SPACE. THAT WON'T HELP.

>> NEW CONSTRUCTION. THERE'S OTHER PROPERTIES.

>> ANY NEW COMMERCIAL WILL ASSIST THE CITIES AND ALSO OBVIOUSLY ANY NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAPPEN IN THE HENDRIX PROPERTY. 9AND TO SAY NEW LEASES SOMETIMES WHEN A NEW TENANT COMES INTO A PLACE THEY ARE ABLE BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF BUSINESS THEY ARE ABLE.

THEY ARE ABLE TO AFFORD THE OWNER ADDITIONAL YOU KNOW UPKEEP AND MAKING THIS PROPERTY VALUE BETTER THAT'S A LOT OF TIME ANGER TENANTS WILL COME INTO THE PROPERTY AND INCREASE THE VALUE OF THAT PARTICULAR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. WHILE YOU ARE CORRECT IN EXISTING PLACES. BUT ENTICING NEW BUSINESSES IN WHETHER IT'S EXISTING OR NEW PLACES IS ALWAYS BENEFICIAL TO

THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. >> COMMISSIONER CUTLER.

>> I WAS POSING THAT QUESTION TO CHRIS BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT DOES THE RAMP UP START IN '24 OR RAMP UP START SOONER THAN THAT SO WE DON'T RUN INTO A SITUATION WHERE I AM GOING TO GO TO MY RESIDENCE AND INCREASE MILLAGE BY MORE POINTS THAN WE WANT TO DO.

IT'S EASIER TO WORK A SIMPLE AMOUNT INTO A BUDGET AT HOME.

THAN TO ALL OF A SUDDEN FIND OT THAT YOUR TAXES HAVE GONE UP DRAMATICALLY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BEING PROACTIVE IN THE FORECAST OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE. SO THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE IMPACTING OUR RESIDENTS THREE YEARS FROM NOW WHERE WE WILL BE ASKING FOR A LARGER TAX IN OUR MILLAGE THAN WHAT WE MIGHT

RAMP UP. >> THAT'S A POSSIBILITY.

I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU IT'S UP TO YOU ALL TO MAKE A DETERMINATION AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT AT STRATEGIC PLANNING. THE YEAR YOU SAID WE'RE FINE.

NEXT YEAR WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE LONG-TERM GOAL WILL BE AS FAR AS MILLAGE RATE GOES.

>> THE PIGGYBACK OFF WHAT NANCY SAID.

WHEN WE CONVENE FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING IN THE SPRING WE WILL HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT FINANCIAL FORECAST LAID OUT.

THAT SHOWS WE DO A THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.

IF WE DO B, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.

I WILL BE ABLE TO PRESENT A FEW DIFFERENT SCENARIOS.

THAT IS OUR GUIDANCE POINT FORWARD FROM THAT POINT.

I JUST WANT EL WE'VE GOT DEBT SERVICE NOW WITH THE LOAN WE TOOK OUT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE

KEEPING AN EYE ON ALL OF THAT. >> MEAR?

>> COMMISSIONER BRIER. >> I WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF POINTS ONE TO NANCY'S POINT. I KNOW WHAT YOMAN'S EXERCISE TO BALANCE THE BUDGET. WE BEEN DEALING WITH COST AND BUDGET OVERRUNS. AND ALSO WE AS A COMMISSION HAVE SOME LARGE IDEAS OF WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN IN THE CITY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS. I WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO THE STAFF AND NANCY FOR PRESENTING A BALANCE BUDGET ON A REDUCED MILLAGE RATE. THAT GOES A LONG WAY TOWARD RESIDENTS SHOULD BE MINDFUL OF THAT.

THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO IT.

I SHARE COMMISSIONER CUTLER'S CONCERNS THAT YOU KNOW I REMEMBER HEARING LAST YEAR THE COMMISSION MEETING HOW IF WE WENT TO ROLL BACK RATE. FACE 2.5 MILLION SHORTFALL OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IT GOES BACK TO MORE KUDOS FOR OUR STAFF. BUT I ALSO SHARE THE CONCERN THAT WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL IF WE WILL MAKE THE CHANGES TO THE MILLAGE RATE, THEY NOT BE DONE IN A FASHION WHERE IT IS NOT WITHOUT A VIABLE RAMP UP PERIOD TO MAKE THE PAIN ON THE

RESIDENTS LESS. >> DO YOU SAY WE DISCUSS MILL

AGE RATE INCREASE NOW? >> NO.

NO. NO.

>> I WANT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WE DO AT STRATEGIC PLANNING.

I DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THE SKY IS FALLING TO MAKE THE

DECISION. >> BECAUSE IT WILL BE MORE PAINFUL FOR RESIDENT IF WE MAKE SUCH A DRAMATIC JUMP

VERSES INCREMENTAL. >> WE'RE CONTINUALLY KEEPING AN EYE ON THE EXPENDITURE TRENDS.

THE MORE INFORMATION WE HAVE THE MORE GOES INTO OUR

[00:45:03]

LAST YEAR THERE WAS THREE ARMAGEDDON TYPE OF SCENARIO PUT FORWARD. WE REALLY --

>> WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THROUGH COVID.

THE COMMUNITY WE ARE INSULATED COMPARED CITY EAST TO US THAT ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON TOURISM.

WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE. AND WHEN I SIT DOWN HERE WHEN YOU WERE AT HOME AND SPEAKING TO LAPTOP.

WE HAD NO CLUE WHAT THE ECONOMIC PROGNOSIS.

THANKFULLY THE CITY IS WEATHERED THE COVID STORM WELL. AND THIS IS WHAT AFFORDED US TO PRESENT YOU WITH BALANCE BUDGET.

>> OKAY. I WILL OPEN BACK UP TO PUBLIC ONE MORE TIME JUST TO MAKE SURE.

NO ONE FROM THE PUBLIC. >> MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> I HAVE A MOTION APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER ISROW AND THE SECOND BY VISIT MAYOR MAYERSOHN. ROLL CALL.

>> JUST THE MILLAGE.

PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES THAN UNANIMOUSLY.

>> ITEM 9-BE RESOLUTION NO 202-050NY2022 PRELIMINARY FIRE ASSESSMENT RATE.

>> GREAT. AS I PRESENTED THE STAFF RECOMMEND NO CHANGE FOR CURRENT FIRE ASSESSMENT RATE

OF 250 PER RESIDENTIAL UNIT. >> OKAY.

ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE?

>> NO OTHER THAN WE ARE PLANNING OVER THE NEXT YEAR FISCAL YEAR TO REASSESS AND GO BACK THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

IF WE ARE ALLOWED AND AGAIN I DON'T KNOW HOW MY COLLEAGUES FEEL. IF WE WERE ALLOWED TO ADD ON A CHARGE FOR THE WEST GENERATION STUDY TO THIS DO WE HAVE TO SET THAT TODAY AS THE MAXIMUM RATE OR CAN WE DO THAT WHEN

THE TIME COMES? >> WE CAN LOOK AT DOING THAT DURING THE FINAL ASSESSMENT. WE HAVE OUTSIDE COUNCIL THAT HANDLES OUR PREPARATION OF THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT.

I WILL SPEAK WITH THEM. AND POTENTIALLY ALSO SPEAK TO THEM ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT IT'S APPROPRIATE THIS YEAR VERSES NEXT YEAR AS WELL DEPENDING UPON WHEN THAT ACTUAL COST OF

ANYONE FROM THE COMMISSION? MOTION TO APPROVE.

I HAVE A CONCERN THAT OUR LARGEST COMMUNITY IN THE CITY IS NOT ABLE TO COMPLY BUT I'VE BEEN ASSURED THE VARIANCE OR WAIVER WOULD BE EASILY OBTAINABLE. AND THIS THE ONLY REASON WHY EVEN THOUGH THE ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM IS NOT THERE OR VIABLE. THE ONLY REASON WHY I'M INCLUDED TO SUPPORT THIS GIVES US THE ABILITY TO IMMUNE IZE OUR RESIDENTS FROM ENFORCEMENT IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO COMPLY

AND COMPLETE A WAIVER. >> AGREED.

UNANIMOUSLY. 9-EDIE DEDICATION POLICY

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER. DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS, THE DEDICATION POLICY REQUIRED THAT WE CONVENE A COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER PROPOSED NAMING OF CERTAIN CITY FACILITIES.

THE COMMITTEE MET IN THIS CHAMBER AT 6:00 P.M. WEDNESDAY JUNE 9TH. COUPLE OF MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. THE PARKS AND REC DIRECTOR AND THE CHAIR OF EACH OF THE CITY'S THREE ADVISORY BOARDS.

I WANT TO TAKE JUST A MOMENT TO PUT THEIR NAMES ON THE RECORD IN THIS MEETING. BECAUSE I'M GRATEFUL FOR THEIR WORK. MAURICE WAS THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE. HE'S ALSO THE CHAIR OF THE CITY'S PLANNING AND ZONING ADVISORY BOARD.

HOWARD WINER ON THE COMMITTEE. HE'S IS THE CHAIR OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD. ALSO BILL KENNEDY WHO IS CHAIR OF THE COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD WAS A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE. HE HAD AN UNPREVENTABLE

[00:55:05]

BUT STILL PARTICIPATED IN FULL REMOTELY.

ANDREA JACOBS AND TANIKA LAWRENCE AND GARCIA.

ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE SERVED THIS COMMUNITY IN A VOLUNTEER WAY. PREVIOUS TO THIS.

THEY GAVE MORE TIME TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS COMMITTEE.

I WANTED TO GET THEIR NAMES ON THE RECORD.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE VOLUNTEER SPIRIT THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CITY. THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERED SIX NAME. THE FIRST MORE OR LESS AS THE GROUP BECAUSE THEY WERE COMPREHENSIVE FASHION.

THEY WERE THE NAMING OF THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX; THE BRUCE B. BROUNT MUNICIPAL COMPLEX. BRUCE BLOUNT THE FOUNDER OF THE CITY AND THE FIRST MAYOR. THE NAMING OF THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER. PARKLAND MAYOR FROM 1972 TO 1978. HE SERVED AS THE CITY'S FIRST BUILDING INSPECTOR WHICH WAS AN UNPAID POSITION.

THOROUGH BREAD BREEDER HERE IN PARKLAND AND HE STARTED THE 4-H CLUB. THE NAME IMAGE OF FIRE STATION 42 AND BECKY GERON. SHE'S MAYOR FROM 1978 TO 1986 WAS THE FIRST FEMALE CITY IN OUR CITY.

AT THE TIME PRESIDED THE ONLY ALL FEMALE CITY COMMISSION IN THE STATE. ALSO INSTRUMENTAL IN TRANSITIONING THE CITY FROM A VOLUNTEER MODEL FIRE DEPARTMENT TO MORE PROFESSIONAL MODEL THAT WE KNOW TODAY. ALL THREE OF THOSE NAMES PROPOSED PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. THE COMMITTEE ALSO CONSIDERED THE NAMING OF FIELD 8 AT PINE TRAILS PARK.

ALISS. SHE WAS A VICTIM OF THE MSD TRAGEDY. THAT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERED THE NAMING OF FIELD 2 AT PINE TRAILS PARK PEEK GOTTO FEED. PETE STARTED PARKLAND SOCCER SOME 33 YEARS AGO AND HAS HAD AN ENORMOUS IMPACT ON THE YOUTH OF OUR CITY. HE RECENTLY PASSED AWAY.

NAMING FIELD TWO AFTER HIM PASS UNANIMOUSLY.

THE COMMITTEE ALSO CONSIDERED THE NAMING OF THE CHILDREN'S WING OF THE PARKLAND LIBRARY GINA ROSE MONTALTO OF THE PARKLAND LIBRARY. GINA WAS A VICTIM OF THE MSD TRAGEDY. THAT PROPOSED NAMING ALSO PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. THOSE THE NAMING OF THOSE SIX FACILITY FOR THOSE INDIVIDUAL THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMITTEE AND I PRESENT THOSE TO YOU THIS EVEN AS YOU MAKE

THE FINAL DETERMINATION. >> ANTHONY.

SHOULD WE VOTE ON EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY?

>> OR IS THIS A GROUP? >> POLICY DOESN'T SPECIFY.

I WOULD SAY IT'S UP TO THE COMMISSION.

YOU KNOW MAY WANT TO CONSIDER IF YOU VOTE IT AS GROUP.

YOU ASK SOMEONE FOR ALL OR NO FOR ALL.

>> YOU WANT TO DO INDIVIDUALLY?

>> YEAH. >> OKAY.

>> THEY TOOK PAINSTAKING EFFORT TO GO THROUGH THE IMPACT AS WELL AS HERALD BUCKLE.

>> TRUCK. HAD ON OUR CITY I WANT TO THANK THE FOLKS WHO SUBMITTED REQUESTS.

I KNOW DOUG IS IN THE ROOM WITH US.

AND ALL OF THE SUPPORT LETTERS THAT CAME IN.

I THINK IT'S HELPFUL PROCESS GOING THROUGH THE PACKET AND THE SUPPORT LETTERS AND THE APPLICATIONS THEMSELVES.

>> VISIT MAYOR. JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS.

I ECHO THE SAME SENTIMENT AS COMMISSIONER BRIER.

BUT I'M WONDERING HERE ON THE HERALD BUCKLE RECOMMENDATION.

I STRUGGLE WITH NAMING A FARMER'S MARKET FIELD AFTER HIM. AND I'M WONDERING WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE OPEN TO NAME THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER AS OPPOSED TO -- COMMISSIONER CUTLER SUBMITTED IT.

IN READING THE BACK UP. IT TALKS ABOUT HIS EQUESTRIAN, PROWESS. WHEN IT WOULD BE MORE OF A

[01:00:05]

>> AT THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER. >> HAROLD BUCKLE AT TEMPLE

PARK. >> WE CAN WORD-SMITH IT.

I THINK IT'S MORE DESERVING. >> INSTEAD OF SAYING FIELD.

>> THE FARMER'S MARKET WHICH HAPPENS TO BE UTILIZED FOR THE

CASE WITH HAVE A HURRICANE. >> I DON'T HAVE OBJECTION.

I AGREE WITH YOU. MY ONLY THOUGHT PROCESS WHEN I PUT IN THE APPLICATION WAS THAT TEMPLE PARK HAD BEEN TAKEN AND THAT'S WHAT WAS BEING CALLED THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM MR. TEMPLE EITHER OR HIS FAMILY WHO DEDICATED A LETTER OF THEIR TIME, ENERGY AND LOTS OF EFFORT TO MAKING THE CITY THE GREAT PLACE IT IS.

THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN. IST LOOKING FOR A FACILITY OR SOMETHING THAT WASN'T GOING TO TAKE AWAY FROM ANYBODY.

I DON'T HAVE ISSUE WITH THAT. HERALD WAS VERY INVOLVED WITH HORSES. THROUGHOUT THE TIME HE WAS HERE AS TODD POINTED HE STARTED THE 4-H CLUB.

HE WAS HERE WHEN THEY SAID MORE HORSES THAN PEOPLE.

WHAT IS THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER NOW?

>> PARKLAN EQUESTRIAN CENTER AT TEMPLE.

>> CHANGE IT TO THE HERALD BUCKLE WOULDN'T CHANGE THE USAGE. I HEAR YOUR CONCERNS.

BUT I THINK THAT'S AN UPGRADE. TO ME THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING WITH IT NAME ON IT SO WE AS THE CITY RECOGNIZE HIS CONTRIBUTION.

>> OR IF THERE'S A CONCERN AGAIN, I REACH OUT TO COMMISSIONER CUTLER WHO HAS MORE HISTORIC NAMING THE HERALD BUCKLE PAVILION LENDS MORE ITSELF TO THAT IF WE NAME IT AFTER HIS EQUESTRIAN PROWESS AND WHAT HE DID AS MAYOR. WE'RE NAMING IT FOR O WE'RE DEDICATING FOR THAT PURPOSE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT AT THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER THAN NEXT TO THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER.

>> NO OBJECTION. >> LET'S MAKE THE DECISION.

LET'S CONTINUE ON THIS ONE. DO WE WANT TO DO PAVILION OR

DO AT THE -- >> THERE'S A TRIBUTE TO MR. TEMPLE ON THE INSIDE OF THE PAVILION UNDERNEATH.

IF YOU WOULD CHOOSE THE PAVILION, I THINK YOU WOULD

HAVE TO RECONFIGURE THAT. >> JUST CHANGE.

RIGHT NOW IT SAYS THE CITY OF PARKLAND EQUESTRIAN CENTER.

CHANGE THAT TO HERALD BUCKLE. THAT'S VERY GOOD.

>> LET ME GO TO PUBLIC. DOES ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC

WANT TO SPEAK ON ANY OF THESE? >> I WILL GET THE PUBLIC OUT OF THE WAY. OKAY.

BOB. >> VISO VICE-MAYOR, SORRY.

>> THIS WHERE I APPRECIATE THE BACK UP THAT COMMISSIONER CUTLER PROVIDED. IT SAYS IN THE BACK UP THAT THE ORIGINAL LOCATION THAT IS NOW THE PARKLAND PUBLIC WORKS MUNICIPAL FACILITY AS WELL AS THE FIRE STATION THAT WAS CURRENTLY NAMED BACK ALMOST 40 YEARS AGO AS THE BRUCE BLUNDT MUNICIPAL COMPLEX. MY FIRST QUESTION IS, IS THAT STILL NAME IN PLACE. IT'S THE WRONG NAME.

IT'S NO LONGER A MUNICIPAL COMPLEX.

>> WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED ORIGINALLIES WHEN THE OLD CITY HALL MOVED TO CITY HALL. THEY SHOULD HAVE MOVED THE SIGN OVER HERE AND PUT IT OUT FRONT AND CALL THIS THE BLUNT MUNICIPAL COMPRESSION. FOR SOME REASON I HAVEN'T FOUND THE RECORD. THAT SIGN DISAPPEARED AND AS A RESULT OF THAT SO DID THE DISTINCTION FOR THE GUY THAT STARTED IT ALL HAS HIS NAME NOWHERE IN THE CITY.

HE DOES. IN THE SENSE HE HAS GOT THE BLUNT PROPERTY. HE'S GOT THE EBB RANCHES WHICH WE DON'T CALL IT THAT. HE CITY HAS SIGNIFICANCE.

[01:05:04]

>> THE REASON I'M ASKING IS THAT WAS YOU KNOW AGAIN A MOTION MADE BY BRUCE BLUNT MUNICIPAL COMPLEX.

>> IT'S NOT THE AREA PER SE. IT'S THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX.

WHEN THAT MUNICIPAL COMPLEX MOVED THE NAME SHOULD HAVE

MOVED TOO. >> I KNOW.

I UNDERSTAND THAT. I WANT TO BE CLEAR SO THAT MOVING FORWARD WHEN SOMEONE COMES BACK AND SAYS WELL IN 1992 OR '82 OR WHATEVER IT IS. THEY NAMED THIS THE BRUCE BLUNT NOW IS IT THERE OR NOT. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE HAVE TO JUST CODIFY THAT. THAT'S MY QUESTION.

>> SHOULD THE COMPLEX MOVE THE NAME SHOULD GO THROUGH IT.

>> THAT'S WHERE HIS NAME SHOULD GO.

>> WE MOVE IT TO -- WHEN I LOOKED AT THE BACK UP COMPREHENSIVELY PROPOSED. THIS LOOKS LIKE A CLEANUP ITEM. LIKE THIS SHOULD HAVE COME OVER AND NOW WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST MAKE IT

OFFICIAL. >> RIGHT MORE OF A CLEANUP THAN ACTUALLY NAMING IT. THIS IS JUST FIXING WHERE IT

IS SUPPOSED TO BE. >> I WANT CLARITY SO MOVING FORWARD IT'S IN OUR HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE.

IT'S UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS JUSTS NOT NECESSARILY RENAMED.

IT JUST REPOSITIONED OR HOWEVER WE WANT TO CLARIFY.

>> OKAY. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

ARE WE INCLUDING IN THIS PROCESS? THE POLICY STIPULATES THE SIGNAGE THAT CAN BE USED AND THAT'S A STAFF DECISION AS TO HOW THAT WILL IMPLEMENTED.

AND BUDGETARY CONSIDERATION WOULD PLAY INTO THAT.

WHEN WE NAME THINGS AFTER PEOPLE WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT ANY SUBSTANTIAL EXPENDITURE. I JUST KNOW WE HAVEN'T

ACCOUNTED FOR THAT. >> DO WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND START WITH THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX.

DO WE WANT -- >> TODD YOU MENTIONED BEFORE IT'S NO LONGER CALLED THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX.

DOES THAT MEAN THE NAME NEEDS TO CHANGE.

>> I WAS REFERRING NOW THE PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY.

THAT'S THE ORIGINAL MUNICIPAL COMPLEX AND THAT'S NO LONGER THE NAME THERE. THIS BEING THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX THIS WOULD BE THE BRUCE BLUNT MUNICIPAL COMPLEX.

>> DON'T FORGET THE B. >> VERY IMPORTANT MORE SO THAN

MOST. >> DO I HAVE ANYONE WANT A MOTION. DO I NEED TO DO IT AGAIN?

OR ONCE IS FINE? >> I THINK YOU CAN OPEN TO

PUBLIC ON ALL OF THE ITEMS. >> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH

TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? >> NO.

>> I HAVE ONE QUESTION. LEGAL QUESTION.

DO I HAVE TO ABSTAIN FROM VOTING?

>> NO. MOTION TO APPROVE BY CUTLER.

AND SECOND BY ISROW. ROLL CALL.

UNANIMOUSLY. NOW MOVE TO FIRE STATION 42 AND BECKY FIRE STATION NUMBER 42.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER CUTLER AND SECOND

BY VICE-MAYOR MAYERSOHN. >> ROLL CALL.

PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

WE WILL GO TO NAMING OF THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER NOT THE FIELD. IT WILL BE THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER AT HERALD BUCK AT TEMPLE PARK.

[01:10:03]

PUT THE NAME IN THERE. >> MOTION TO APPROVE AS MODIFIED. SECOND AS MODIFIED.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER CUTLER.

SECOND BY MAYORSON. ROLL CALL.

WITH. >> MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AND A SECOND. ROLL CALL.

>> PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

NOW WE GO TO NAMING OF FIELD NUMBER 2 AT PINE TRAILS PARK

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

MOTION TO APPROVE BY BRIER. SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CUTLER.
