ROLL CALL? WHAT COMMISSIONER ISROW.> HERE.

>> COMMISSIONER CUTLER. >> HERE.

>> MAYOR WALKER. >> HERE.

[5. Comments from the Public on Non-Agenda Items]

>> VICE MAYOR. >> HERE.

>> COMMISSIONER BRIER.> YEAR.

>>RICH WALKER : WE ARE GOING TO START WITH COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC. DO WE HAVE PEOPLE SIGNED UP? HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WE HAVE SIGNED UP.

>>THREE . WE HAVE NEIL.

>> NEIL BASS, 11664 NORTHWEST. NINTH PLACE.

I KNOW THIS IS NOT A Q AND A. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION AND A COMMENT ABOUT THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, OBVIOUSLY.

I KNOW THAT NSAID CAME OUT AND SAID THAT THEY PLAN TO BUILD SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED, SMALLER THAN WHAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED. AND CURIOUS TO KNOW WHEN THE RESIDENTS CAN SEE THAT SO WE CAN ASSESS WHAT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE IT. IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD SEE IT, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ACTUALLY MAKE THE ACQUISITION.

THE PROPOSAL THAT IS CURRENTLY ON THE TABLE I BELIEVE IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE RESIDENTIAL HOUSING THAT IT SURROUNDS. I ALSO THINK THAT IT IS INCONSISTENT WITH PARKLANDS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.SO I HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT, CONCERNED THAT IT MAY HURT US FINANCIALLY. CONCERN THAT IT MAY CREATE A LOT MORE CRIME, A LOT MORE TRAFFIC AND TRANSFORM OUR RESIDENTIAL CITY INTO A DESTINATION SHOPPING CENTER, WHICH IS REALLY NOT WHAT MOST OF US SIGNED UP FOR.

WHEN WE MOVED HERE.AND THAT IS ABOUT IT.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, NEIL.

>> ROBERT KATZ? >> GOOD EVENING COMMISSION.

I KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IS FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

I KNOW A LOT OF WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH THE DEVELOPMENT WILL GO THROUGH YOU. I KNOW BECAUSE OF CORAL SPRINGS, THAT IS WHAT PARKLAND WANTS AND I THINK IT HAS TO BE ALL WORK TOGETHER IN ORDER TO MAKE THE SUCCESSFUL.

HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION WITH THE DISTRICT YESTERDAY AND HE KIND OF SOLD ME ON THIS IDEA A 25 PERCENT BEING DEVELOPED.

BUT AFTER TALKING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE LAST DAY AND I SPOKE TO A LOT OF PEOPLE SINCE LAST WEEK SINCE I CAME HERE BECAUSE I WORK AT HOME AND DOUGLAS AND I HAVE A LOT OF CONTACTS WITH FAMILIES. I HAVE TO SAY IT'S INCREDIBLE.

THEYSEE ME AT SCHOOL AND EVERYONE IS HITTING ME UP .

UNLIKE NOT NEEDED IN THAT SENSE.

JUST VERY CONCERNED WITH WHAT NEIL SAID.

DROVE HERE AND WENT DOWN NOBHILL IN THE ONE YOU GO DOWN PINE ISLAND IT IS DAY AND NIGHT.

I DO NOT IF IT SHOULD GET DEVELOPED IT'S NOT GOING TO BE LUSH. TRAFFIC.

LIKE RIGHT NOW I KNOW HOW TRAFFIC IS.

EVERYBODY HERE THAT DRIVES ON THE ROAD KNOWS THAT THE TRAFFIC IS CRAZY AS IT IS. IT'S GOING TO BE WORSE.

WE HAVE TO REALLY CONSIDER THE JUST BECAUSE CORAL SPRINGS WANTS THAT, A MAJORITY OF THE LAND I ASSUME IS IN PARKLAND AND IS GOING TO BE IN THE IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

AND THEY TRY TO SELL IT AT I WANT TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT THE TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING THROUGH AN ASSESSMENT ON YOUR TAXES. I DO KNOW WE ALL PAY TAXES AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T MIND PAYING A LITTLE EXTRA.

THERE COULD BE PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO PAY MORE IN TAXES THAN THEIR ASSESSMENTS. THE THING IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO USE OUR SERVICES. THE FIRE, THE POLICE, WE STILL PAY THE BURDEN OF THE TAXES ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE OF THOSE SERVICES. SO SHOULD THE PROVEN DISTRICT PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY, THEY NEED TO REALIZE BECAUSE I WANT TO OFFSET THE COST AND IT SHOULDN'T AFFECT THE USERS WOULD SAY OTHER PARTS OF CORAL SPRINGS BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T

[00:05:02]

WE HAVE TO REALIZE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

NOT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD COULD BE HERE.

IT IS A HOT TOPIC IN OUR COMMUNITY AND WE REALLY SHOULD CONSIDER WHAT YOU THINK IS BEST FOR PARKLAND, NOT JUST WHAT IS BEST FOR THE IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT OF CORAL SPRINGS.

THANK YOU. >>RICH WALKER : THANK YOU.

NEXT?> RONNIE SHELDON.>> HELLO THERE AND COMMISSIONER.

I PUT A LOT OF TIME INTO THIS WITH THE NEIGHBORS GOING BACK AND FORTH ON THE NEIGHBOR UP. EVERYBODY WAS LIKE.

I JUST GOT INVOLVED. I LIVED IN THE COMMUNITY FOR 22

YEARS. >>RICH WALKER : CAN YOU GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE MICROPHONE? WHAT NOBODY LIKES CHANGE. WE CAME TO PARKLAND AND I GET IT. AND SO NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH THE GOLF COURSE. SO SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE FOR GOING AFTER A LOT OF DUE DILIGENCE AND LISTENING TO THE NEIGHBORS. I CAN'T SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY, I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF. MAYBE IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE.

MAYBE THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE A LITTLE BIT.

BUT MY MAJOR CONCERN WAS THE NEIGHBORS OF OLD BURKE IN THE TRAFFIC CONCERN. UNAFFECTED, I LIVE RIGHT BY THE ENTRANCE. BUT I WASN'T SPEAKING ON MY BEHALF. WAS CONSIDERING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY AND THEIR WANTS AND NEEDS.

SEVERAL TIMES WE HAD MEETINGS AND ROD AND PRETTY MUCH WHAT I AM LEARNING FROM WHAT I SHARED WITH THE PRESS RELEASE TONIGHT AND PUT ON A NEIGHBOR APP, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS READ IT.

I PROMISED I WAS GOING TO PUT SOMETHING IN WRITING AND I PUT IT OUT THERE. I LOOK AT YOU AND I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR AND.

YOU LIVE HERE AND I HAVE TO TRUST YOU.

SO I'M GOINGTO RETRACT THE COMMENT I MADE TWO WEEKS AGO WHICH ARE COMING BACK TO ME THAT PARKLAND WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. IT COULD BE DESTROYED .

I'M GOING TO SAY MAYBE PARKLAND CAN BE BETTER.

MAYBE THIS IS A LESSON HOW WE COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY.

AND MAYBE THIS IS A WAY FOR US TO LEARN TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU TO GET WHAT WE WANT FROM YOU AND I AM LOOKING AT YOU EYE TO EYE AND I'M LOOKING AT ALL OF YOU AND I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND LIKE I SAID, MAYBE PARKLAND WILL BE A BETTER PLACE AND I APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING TO US.

>>RICH WALKER : THANK YOU. IS OR ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO

SPEAK ON A NON-AGENDA ITEM? >> I AM PRISCILLA 11 92 NORTHWEST. 11 PARKLAND ISLES. I'M JUST ACROSS FROM THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE BEEN TALKING LATELY IN THE COMMUNITY. I MOVED FROM VENTURA TO HEAR JUST BECAUSE PARKLAND, IT IS WHAT IT IS.ETWEEN TWO BIG CITIES THAT HAVE EVERYTHING. CORAL SPRINGS AND BOCA RATON.

I AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT ALL THE CONSTRUCTION.

AND JUST BOUGHT AND PARKLAND ISLES BECAUSE EVERYTHING WAS ALREADY DEVELOPED AT THE MOMENT.

LIKE I DIDN'T BUY EMIR LARGO AND ALL OF THOSE PLACES.

I CHOSE PARKLAND FOR THAT REASON.

AND I THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH SHOPS AND WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO. AND WE ALREADY HAVE THREE SYNAGOGUES AND TWO CHURCHES, BUT WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER PLACE FOR ANY KIND OF WORSHIPING. CAN BRING MORE TRAFFIC WITH THE KID WHO IS 12 YEARS OLD AND HE IS REALLY WORRIED FOR HIS IS WHERE ARE YOU GOING. I'M GOING TO A MEETING BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO DO THE SHOPPING DORGAN AND EVERY TIME I GO BACK TO MY HOUSE HE ASKS MOM, ARE THEY GOING TO DO IT.

OF THE GOING TO DO IT? HE IS WORRIED TOO.

[00:10:02]

WE HAVE, WE ARE SO BLESSED TO LIVE HERE.

AND YOU SHOULD PLEASE CONSIDER THAT.

AND I WAS READING ABOUT THE RESERVE IN CORAL SPRINGS.

I HAVE BEEN THERE ONCE AND I SAID OH MY GOD, THAT IS AMAZING. INSIDE A BIG CITY.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN HERE. WE DON'T HAVE TRAILS.

AND I THINK THE PARKLAND CITY SHOULD FIGHT FOR THAT.

LIKE EVERYONE SHOULD UNITE AND FIGHT FOR A GREEN PLACE.

YOU CAN FROM NIGHT AMINE, IT'S CRAZINESS.

YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE. IT IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL.

THAT'S IT. PLEASE THINK ABOUT OUR KIDS.

>>RICH WALKER : THANK YOU. IS OR ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON A NON-AGENDA ITEM? OKAY.

SO AGAIN, JUST FOR THE RECORD, NOTHING HAS COME BEFORE THE CITY OF PARKLAND OR CORAL SPRINGS.

I KNOW I AM SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, BUT THE COMMISSIONERS ARE THE SAME. IF ANYBODY WANTS TO REACH OUT TO ANY OF US AT ANY TIME. CALL, EMAIL.

NEIL, WE'VE SPOKEN BEFORE. YOU HAVE MY NUMBER IF YOU WANT TO CALL THAT HAPPY TO SPEAK TO YOU MORE ABOUT WHAT I KNOW.

THAT GOES FOR ALL OF US. SO NOW WE ARE GOING TO GO TO COMMISSIONER COMMENTS. WE WILL START WITH COMMISSIONER

CUTLER. >>KEN CUTLER : THANK YOU, MAYOR. WOULD LIKE THE MERE WITH THE MAYOR HAS SAID AND SUGGEST THAT YOU, AS MANY OF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE, TO REACH OUT TO AND AS ID. THEY ARE GOING TO BE THE OWNERS OF THATPROPERTY . AND THE WAY THAT WORKS IS IF YOU ARE THE OWNER OF A PROPERTY, YOU GET TO DEVELOP IT THE WAY THAT THE LAWS SUGGEST YOU CAN DEVELOP IT.

AND SO YOUR PERSUASIVENESS TO THEM IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL TO WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT DEVELOPMENT.

LET ME REITERATE WHAT I DID LAST TIME AND THIS TIME THAT YOU ATTENDED THEIR MEETINGS, YOU MAKE SURE YOU GIVE THEM THEIR INPUT BECAUSE IT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO THEIR DECISION MAKING PROCESS. AND THAT WAY THEY ARE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS OR DESIRES IN THAT DEVELOPMENT AREA. I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF LOIS BLUNT.

MRS. BLUNT WAS PARKLAND FIRST LADY.

HER HUSBAND BRUCE BLUNT IS THE FIRST PICTURE YOU SEE APPEAR ON THE WALL, PARKLAND PAST MAYORS REUNION HE WAS THE FOUNDER AND FIRST MAYOR FOR THE CITY. SHE PASSED AWAY SEPTEMBER 19 AT HER DAUGHTER'S HOME IN NORTH FLORIDA WITH HER FAMILY BESIDE HER. SHE WAS BORN IN ALEXANDRIA LOUISIANA AND SHE MOVED AFTER HER FATHER'S DEATH WITH HER MOTHER TO POMPANO BEACH WHERE SHE MET AND MARRIED BRUCE IN 1945. THEY HAD FOUR CHILDREN PER HER HUSBAND BRUCE WAS PARKLAND FIRST MAYOR, AS I SAID.

THOSE OF YOU WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED, SERVICES ARE GOING TO BE HELD IN THE LAKE PLACID AREA AND THE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR GETTING WOULD ALSO LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT ON SATURDAY, FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY IS GOING TO BE HAVING ITS FIRST BOOK SALE OF THE YEAR.

THEY SHUT DOWN WHEN COVID STARTED AND THEY HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF BOOKS. SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN GETTING SOME REALLY GOOD BOOKS, SATURDAY IS THE DAY.

THAT WILL BE IN THE MORNING FROM LIKE 9:00 TO 1:00.

>>RICH WALKER : THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER BRIAR.

>> I WANT TO THANK HER RESIDENCY CAME OUT TONIGHT EXPRESS THEIR CONCERNS. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO COME BEFORE THIS COMMISSION IN AN CORAL SPRINGS. WILL ENCOURAGE YOU TO DIALOGUE SOCIETY. FOLKS THAT IN THE - ANOTHER IS DISCUSSION ABOUT HAVING A RESIDENCE FORM FOR THE RESIDENCE WITH THE HOA AND NEIL IS WORKING ON THAT. I KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES AS WE GO FORWARD FOR THE COMMUNITY TO EXPRESS THEIR THOUGHTS AND CONCERNS WITH REGARDS TO THIS PROJECT.

BUT REST ASSURED THAT WE AS A COMMISSION LOVE PARKLAND IS MUCH AS YOU AND WE WANT TO PRESERVE THE CHARACTER AND CHARM OF VARSITY WE WILL DO WHATEVER WE CAN IN THAT REGARDS PTO DO IT. I JUST WANTED TO REMIND

[00:15:03]

WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE WE HAVE BASKETBALL REGISTRATION THAT IS NOW OPEN. SO IF YOUR CHILDREN ARE INTERESTED IN THAT, PLEASE DO THAT.

WE HAVE THE PARKLAND ÃCOMING UP NEXT MONTH.

FOR THURSDAY THE FDO T IS HAVING A PUBLIC MEETING REGARDING THE PROJECT ON HOLMBERG ROAD AT THE PARKLAND LIBRARY AT 6:30. THANK YOU.

>>RICH WALKER : THANK YOU. OMMISSIONER BRIER ?

COMMISSIONER ISROW . >>JORDAN ISROW : I WILL KEEP IT SHORT TONIGHT. I WILL ECHO IT AGAIN, THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT AND SHARED YOUR CONCERNS AND FEELINGS. BUT I WANT TO REFRAME IT A LITTLE BIT. I THINK AS MUCH AS I WILL AGREE NOW THAT SHOULD BE A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS MOST CRITICAL ASPECT OF THIS WHOLE PROJECT, BUT I WOULD ASK OF THE COMMUNITY IS RATHER THAN BEING SO DEAD SET ON WHAT WE DON'T WANT THEM PARKLAND, START THINKING ABOUT WHAT IT IS WE DO WANT.

BECAUSE THE REALITY IS, THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING.

IN A MORE ACTUAL CREATIVITY AND THE MORE COLONIZATION THAT WE CAN GET TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY OF THINGS WE ARE WILLING TO SUPPORT, THAT WILL MAKE A DEVELOPER AND A POTENTIAL BUYER OF THE LAND THEY ENCOURAGED WANT TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY WANT TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE A DEMAND FOR THE CITY, OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL. AND THAT IS THEIR GOAL TO BUILD A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT. WE HEARD YOU LOUD AND CLEAR ON WHAT IT IS YOU DON'T WANT. AND THINK THERE ARE DEGREES TO THE THINGS THAT ARE KIND OF BEING FLOATED.

OBVIOUSLY THERE IS ONE END OF THE SPECTRUM WHICH IS OVER COMMERCIALIZED AND OVERDEVELOPED AND THERE IS THE OTHER END WHICH IS LEAVING AT IS GRASS.

AND I DON'T LIKE WE ARE GOING TO FIND OURSELVES ON EITHER END OF THESPECTRUM. WE HAVE TO FIND YOURSELF SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE . SOMETHING WE CAN ALL STOMACH OR THE MAJORITY OF US CAN STOMACH. WE HAVE A LOT OF SMART PEOPLE HERE IN THIS COMMUNITY, A LOT OF CREATIVE PEOPLE.

THE MORE I THINK WE HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS, WHETHER IT'S ONLINE OR IN PERSON, I THINK THE MORE THAT WE CAN START BUILDING INTO THE BRAINSTORM PROCESS AND HOPEFULLY ENGAGE IN THIS AS WELL AS CORAL SPRINGS TO THE POINT WHERE NOW WE ARE BEING PRODUCTIVE AS OPPOSED TO JUST SAYING WHAT WE DON'T WANT FOR YOU THAT IS ALL I ASK FROM YOU THINK YOU AND THAT IS ALL

IT GOT. >>RICH WALKER : THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER ISROW . VICE MAYOR MAYERSOHN.

>>BOB MAYERSOHN : I WANT TO ECHO THE SAME SENTIMENTS EVERYBODY SAID REGARDING THE BLUNTED FAMILY AND I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY BASKETBALL REGISTRATION, THE PARKLAND WHICH I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO JOIN THEM, GET A CHANCE TO GO EXERCISE .

EARLY IN THE MORNING. I THINK IT IS OCTOBER 14 IS THE DATE. I DO WANT TO JUST SHARE WITH THE COMMISSION THAT THE WASTE AND RECYCLING WORKGROUP IS CONTINUALLY MOVING FORWARD. ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE LOOKING AT IN OUR LOCAL AGREEMENT IS DETERMINING WHAT WILL BE THE FACTORS TO BUY IN AND WHAT MAY BE THE FACTORS IF A CITY WANTS TO BUY OUT. THAT'S WHERE WE STAND, AND

THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. >>RICH WALKER : THANK YOU VICE MAYOR. I'M ALSO GOING TO BE BRIEF.

MY CONDOLENCES AS WELL TO THE BLUNT FAMILY.

WANT TO TOUCH ON A LITTLE BIT WHAT COMMISSIONER ISROW SAID.

YOU MADE A GOOD POINT. AND MR. KATZ.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO POTENTIALLY WORK TOGETHER. AND I THINK WHAT COMMISSIONER ISROW WAS SAYING, IF WE WORK TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS RATHER THAN AN EXTREME YES, NO, WHATEVER WE CAN FIND A PLACE WHERE WE CAN POTENTIALLY MEET THE MIDDLE GROUND. THAT IS ULTIMATELY WHAT WE WANT. COMMISSIONER BRIAR SAID A GREAT.E ALL LOVE PARKLAND. I HAVE FIVE KIDS.

MY YOUNGEST IS IN SECOND GRADE. SO I'M GOING TO BE HERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. SO WHATEVER HAPPENS IN THE CITY DIRECTLY IMPACTS ME AS MUCH AS YOU.

11 PARKLAND ISLES, ICR PRESIDENT OF OUR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. SO I GET THE TRAFFIC.

TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY IS NOT VERY FUN.

I AM DIRECTLY IMPACTED WITH WHATEVER IT IS THAT HAPPENS.

BUT AGAIN, WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND, NOTHING IS COME BEFORE U , NOTHING HAS COME BEFORE CORAL SPRINGS.

AND IS NOT THAT WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING WITH CORAL SPRINGS, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO BE A PART OF THIS PROCESS AS WELL BECAUSE THEY DO OWN A LOT OF THAT LAND THERE IS IN THEIR JURISDICTION.

SO THEY DO HAVE SOME SAY INTO WHAT HAPPENS.

THEY HAVE ALL THE SAY TO WHAT HAPPENS IN THEIR JURISDICTION.

WE JUST HAVE TO BE MINDFUL THAT THERE ARE TWO CITIES INVOLVED.

WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH THE SOLUTION THAT WILL BEST HELP THE CITY OF PARKLAND.

BECAUSE THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ALL WANT.

NUMBER OF US WANT TO HURT PARKLAND BECAUSE WE ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE WE LOVE THE CITY AND WANT TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO

[00:20:03]

WE ARE ALL EXTREMELY ACCESSIBLE.

AND GET MY CELL PHONE OUT TO ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY.

I MAKE A POINT TO MAKE SURE THAT I PICK UP THE PHONE EVERY TIME AND IF I DON'T I WILL CALL YOU BACK.

I ANSWER EVERY EMAIL. I'M EASY TO GET A HOLD OF.

AND WE CAN HAVE WHATEVER DIALOGUE YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE. WITH THAT SAID, WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE WORKING. RIGHT NOW WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING. IS A LOT OF SPECULATION AS TO WHAT'S GOING TO BE THERE, WHAT'S NOT GOING TO BE THERE FOR RIGHT NOW MS ID IS KIND OF RUNNING THE SHOW UNTIL IT'S ACTUALLY SOLD AND THEN ONCE IT IS SOLD WE WILL HAVE A FOR MORE SAY THAN WE HAVE NOW. STAY ACTIVE, BUT UNDERSTAND WE WANT TO TRY TO FIND A MIDDLE GROUND SOMEWHERE.

WHAT THAT IS IS YET TO BE SEEN. BUT I BELIEVE WHATEVER THAT MIDDLE GROUND IS WILL BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL THE RESIDENTS OF PARKLAND. NOT CORAL SPRINGS.

OUR DECISIONS ARE GOING TO BE BASED ON THE RESIDENCE OF PARKLAND. SO JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE, THAT IS WHERE OUR HEART IS AND WE WILL DO

[6. Approval of the Agenda]

WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE WILL MOVE TO APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE BY VICE MAYOR MAYERSOHN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ISROW . ALL IN FAVOR.

[7. Final Reading of the FY2022 Millage and Budget]

>>RICH WALKER : PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.>> ANTHONY, CITY ATTORNEY. ITEM NUMBER SEVEN A THREE THIS IS THE FINAL READING OF FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET ITEMS. CHRIS, ARE YOU PRESENTING THESE TOGETHER AGAIN?

WHAT KIND OF A PRESENTATION. >> I'M GOING TO READ THE TITLES FOR SEVEN A AND B SINCE THEY ARE BEING PRESENTED TOGETHER.

SO IN THE FIRST READING WE DO NEED SEPARATE VOTES.

ITEM 7 A IS ORDINANCE 2021 Ã 015 ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 MILLAGE RATE. SECOND READING PRINT AND ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE MILLAGE RATE TO BE LIVING FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2021 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 STATING THE PERCENTAGE CHANGE BY WHICH THE MILLAGE RATE EXCEEDS ROLLBACK RATE IS COMPUTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 200.065 FLORIDA STATUTES PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEPARABILITY AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. ITEM 7B IS ORDINANCE 2021 Ã 016. ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET. SECOND READING.

AND ORDINANCE OF THE CITY MISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND FLORIDA ADOPTING A BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2021 AND ENDING SOME TOUR 30TH, 2022 PROVIDED FOR CONFLICTS, SEPARABILITY AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THESE ARE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND I WILL READ INTO THE RECORD TO ADDRESS THE STATUTORY PROVISIONS. THE CITY OF PARKLAND IS PROPOSING AN OPERATING MILLAGE OF 4.2 979 MILLS FOR THIS OPERATING MILLAGE IS 2.33 PERCENT MORE THAN THE ROLLBACK RATE OF 4.200 ONE, WHICH PERCENTAGE HAS CHARACTERIZED AS PERCENT INCREASE IN PROPERTY TAXES PURSUANT TO FLORIDA LAW.

>>RICH WALKER : THANK YOU, ANTHONY SPAYGETTI THINK MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS. CHRIS JOHNSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR. TONIGHT WE ARE IN THE FINAL JOURNEY OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET PROCESS.

TONIGHT IS OUR SECOND AND FINAL PUBLIC HEARING ON THE UPCOMING BUDGET. I DO HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO GO THROUGH.

AND WILL BE HONEST, IT'S THE EXACT SAME THING THAT PRETTY MUCH THAT I SAID LAST TIME IN OUR MEETING LAST MONDAY.

UNLESS YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO GO THROUGH, I'M MORE THAN WILLING

TO GO. >> DO YOU GUYS WANT TO SEE IT

AGAIN? >> WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.

>> NO PROBLEM. THIS BUDGET IS BASED ON A TAXABLE VALUE OF JUST OVER $6 BILLION AND WE RECEIVED AN INCREASE IN TAXABLE VALUE OF 358 BILLION.

HICH IS ADEQUATE 2 TO THE CITY? AN ADDITIONAL REVENUE OF 1.4. OF THAT WE WILL RECEIVE ABOUT $540,000 BASED ON EXISTING VALUES INCREASING BY 132.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT 2 TO 3 PERCENT OR SO INCREASE IS WHAT WE WILL SEE AS WE APPROACH IT HERE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

THAT IS IMPORTANT AS WE LOOK TOWARD OUR FUTURE.

SO I ALWAYS WANT TO POINT OUT HOW MUCH YOUR TAX BILL GOES TO

[00:25:01]

WHEN EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT TAXES, ONLY 23 PERCENT OR SO COME TO THE CITY OF PARKLAND. AS WE COMPARE OURSELVES TO NEIGHBORING CITIES, A PROPOSED MILLAGE RATE IS LESS THAN ALL COCONUT CREEK, CORAL SPRINGS, TAMARAC AND MARGATE.

WITH MARGATE IN THE HIGHEST AND 7.7.

A COUPLE OF THE GENERAL FUND HIGHLIGHTS WE HAVE IS WRITING 10 NEW FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES. THESIS DUE TO THE ENHANCED SERVICE LEVELS TALKED ABOUT DURING STRATEGIC PLANNING IN APRIL. AS FAR AS BRINGING UP THE SERVICE LEVEL ON THE PLANE FROM PARKING HUNDRED SO THAT WE'RE GOING TO ADD TWO NEW MAINTENANCE TECHNICIANS AND SIX PART-TIME TECH POSITIONS TO SIX FULL-TIME POSITIONS.

IN ADDITION WE WILL BE BRINGING A MAJORITY OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING FUNCTION IN HOUSE AND BY DOING THAT WE WILL HIRE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR AND SENIOR PLANNING.

TO ASSIST WITH THE TRANSITION FROM THE OUTSOURCED FUNCTION TO THE IN-HOUSE FUNCTION WE HAVE MONEY SET ASIDE TO HELP EASE THE TRANSITION AS WELL. WE ARE ALSO CONVERTING ONE PART-TIME ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR IN THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.

WE HAVE ALSO ELIMINATED THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR BUDGET.

IN THIS BUDGET YOU SEE A THREE PERCENT COST-OF-LIVING INCREASE FOR ALL CITY EMPLOYEES AND INCREASES OUR BUDGET.

THE ENTIRE IS ÃEMPLOYEES RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTION IS UNCHANGED. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT TO THE RESIDENCE HERE, WE DO NOT OFFER A DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION.

IS KINDA LIKE A 401(K) IN THE FOR-PROFIT WORLD SO TO SPEAK.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE BALANCING ANY POTENTIAL UNFUNDED LIABILITIES. 10, 15, 20 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE OFFER A DEFINED BENEFIT.

OUR HEALTH INSURANCE IS INCREASING EIGHT PERCENT IN OUR GENERAL PROPERTY IS INCREASING ABOUT SIX PERCENT.

THIS YEAR THE CONTRACT INCREASE UNDER $400,000.

OUR CONTRACT THE FIRE AND RESCUE ABOUT 365,000 WOULD BE ADDED ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR SPECIAL EVENTS COMING UP THROUGH THE ONE THING WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON IS OUR STABILIZATION RESERVES AND REPLACEMENT FUNDS FOR STABILIZATION RESERVE IS AT 25 PERCENT OF OUR OPERATING EXPENDITURES SO THIS YEAR IT IS ABOUT 10.$6 MILLION.

WITH THE STABILIZATION RESERVE IS FOR IS IN CASE WE GET HIT BY A HURRICANE OR IN ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY WE USE THOSE FUNDS TO HELP OFFSET THOSE COSTS. AS AN EXAMPLE, BACK IN 2017 AND HURRICANE IRMA HIT WE USED ABOUT 1.$7 MILLION OF STABILIZATION FUNDS AND PAID FOR THE DEBRIS REMOVAL AND MONITORING THAT WAS A RESULT OF THATSTORM .

WE HAVE INSURANCE THE FIVE PERCENT THAT COVERS PROPERTY HERE WITHIN THE CITY IF EVERYTHING WERE TO GET STORED.

AND ONE THING WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON HIS ART NOUVEAU STRUCTURE AND EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUNDS AND INCREASING THE FUNDING OF THOSE BY 350,000 AND 50,000 RESPECTIVELY. A FEW OF THE OTHER HIGHLIGHTS IN THE GENERAL FUND OF THE LOBBYISTS INCLUDING THE SAME AMOUNT AS WE HAD THE LAST TWO OR THREE YEARS AT 40,000.

WE HAVE THE RANDY CONSULTANT IN THE BRENDA BORGE LET ABOUT 150 500 COMMIT 60,000 COMING UP THIS BUDGET.

WASTE GENERATION STUDY THAT HAS BEEN ADDED SINCE WE MET IN JULY. WE HAVE THE FIRE ASSESSMENT STUDY AND A POTENTIAL NEW FIRE METHODOLOGY SLOTTED IN THE BUDGET AND THREE CHARITABLE DONATIONS THIS YEAR FOR THE AREAWIDE COUNCIL ON AGING. ARE PARKLAND, WHICH WE DETERMINED AFTER. AND $3000 FOR THE EARNING EARLY LEARNING COALITION. HERE ARE A FEW OF THE CHANGES FROM WHEN WE MET IN JULY FROM WHERE WE ARE TONIGHT.

WE ADDED $20,000 FOR HISTORICAL SIGNAGE TO THE CITY BUT AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THE $40,000 FOR WASTE GENERATION STUDY . WE UPDATED A FEW PROJECTIONS BASED ON ACTUAL NUMBERS WE RECEIVED.

[00:30:01]

SO HERE'S THE TOTAL FOR THE CAPITAL PROGRAM FOR CAPITAL AND PERMIT PROJECTS ON IS A LITTLE OVER $12 MILLION AND THAT IS A RESULT OF ADDING 4.$6 MILLION IN MOVING THE ARTIFICIAL TURF FIELDS UP IN 23 IN FISCAL YEAR 22 THROUGH THAT WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP AND THAT WAS THE DIRECTION THAT WAS GIVEN BY YOU ALL TO US TO REMOVE THOSE COSTS ARE 2023 OF TO 2022. FOR STRUCTURE REPLACEMENT FUNDS HAVE BEEN UNCHANGED SINCE JULY. SO RIGHT NOW HERE IS OUR CURRENT FORECAST. AND I SIT HERE THIS TIME LAST YEAR, THERE'S A LOT ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY THAT SAYS WE RELATED TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

THANKFULLY THE MAJORITY OF OUR REVENUE TRANSIT HAS BEEN MORE IN OUR FAVOR AND WE ARE PROJECTING A LITTLE OVER $6 MILLION SURPLUS IN 2021. BASED ON THE SERVICE LEVEL ADDITIONS WE ADDED FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR ENHANCEMENTS AND PARKS, WE FORECAST A COUPLE OF YEARS AND POTENTIALLY THE 36 ACRE PARK STARTING IN FISCAL YEAR 2024 WOULD BE TOO ANTICIPATE A POSSIBLE DEFICIT.

SO WITH THAT, ONE OF THE TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION IN THE SPRING OF 2022 WHEN WE ARE STRATEGIC PLANNING WILL BE TOO DISCUSS HOW TO RECTIFY THAT. AND THE REASON IS THAT NEW SERVICE LEVELS COMMIT ADDITIONAL SERVICE LEVELS FOR THE 36 ACRE PARK. FIRE, POLICE AND FIRE RESCUE CONTRACTS ARE GOING TO INCREASE AT A RATE HIGHER THAN WHAT OUR REVENUE VALLEY. WITH THAT, CURRENTLY WE ARE AT A INCREASE OF WINDMILLS WOULD $600,000 AND WITH THAT I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE.

>> ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS? NOPE? DOES ANY ANYONE FOR THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? ANYONE? VERY, COME ON UP.

>>. [INAUDIBLE] I HAVE BEEN IN PARKLAND FOR OVER 20 YEARS. HAVE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THAT THE MEETING STARTED AT 7:00. I GUESS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT

THE BUDGET, RIGHT? >> YES.

>> 82ND TERRACE IS THE WORST ROAD.

IT HAS ALL KINDS OF POTHOLES. WAS STARTED 36 OR 37 YEARS AGO THE CITY PUT THE ROAD IN. IT WAS POORLY DONE BACK THEN.

IT HAS NEVER BEEN REPAID. THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF POTHOLES OVER THE YEARS. THERE'S ALWAYS A COUPLE OF POTHOLES.AND THE ROAD IS REALLY TWO BLOCKS.

AND SCOTT ABOUT 15 HOMES ON IT FOR THE HOMES RANGE FROM $1 MILLION TO 5 MILLION. IN THE SEVERAL EQUESTRIAN CENTERS, THE BIGGEST ONE BEING RYAN HOLLOW.

AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE EQUESTRIAN CENTERS FROM THERE ARE ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE OF THEM. SO ON THAT RODEO THE DUMP TRUCKS, AND SCHOOL BUSES GOING ON, YOU HAVE ALL THE NURSERIES.

ALL THE TRUCKS THEY HAVE AND STUFF.

AND THE PROBLEM IS YOU ALSO HAVE A LOTOF KIDS .

AND THE KIDS RANGE FROM TWO YEARS.

HAVE A LOT OF YOUNG KIDS WHO RECENTLY MOVED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THE ISSUE WILL BE AS IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT. IF YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER AND SHE WENT OUT ON THE STREET ON HER BICYCLE.

ON MY STREET DOESN'T HAVE ANY SIDEWALKS.

AND WE ALSO DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS.

AND THERE ARE CERTAIN DAYS LIKE A DAY LIKE TODAY, YOU DON'T EVEN SEE THE POTHOLES BECAUSE THE STREETS ARE PRETTY FLOODED.

YOU COULD TAKE YOUR BIKE AND YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET

[00:35:02]

THE CARS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD GO 30 MILES AN HOUR.

THEY GO AS FAST AS 50 MILES AN HOUR.

SO IF A LITTLE KID FALLS DOWN, FALLS THE WRONG WAY AND A CAR IS COMING OR A TRUCK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THEY CAN EITHER FALL IN FRONT OF THE CAR OR THEY CAN FALL IN THE CANAL WHICH DOESN'T HAVE ANY GUARDRAILS.

THE AREA IS TWO OR THREE FEET FROM THE CANAL, WHICH MANY TIMES IS VERY DANGEROUS. SO IT HAS REALLY BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE. NOW, THE END OF OUR STREET IS RANCH ROAD. SO IF THE KIDS ARE GOING TO THE PLAYGROUND IN RANCHROAD , THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER ALL THE ACTIVITIES THE CITY HAS ON RANCH ROAD.

ANY OF THOSE THINGS IT IS A BLOCK AND 1/2 BUT YET IS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FOR THEM BUT FOR ANYBODY ELSE.

BICYCLES USE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS TO WRITE ON THURSDAY MORNING IS ABOUT 50 BIKES THAT GO DOWN NORTHWEST 82ND TERRACE.

AND THERE'S JUST A LOT OF ACTIVITY BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM THE DOG PARKS ON THE PLAYGROUND THAT IS THERE, AFTER THEY DO WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING THEY DRIVE AROUND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

THEY LIKE TO SEE ALL THE ANIMALS.

THE COWS AND HORSES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT ROAD REPAVED.

IT IS NEVER BEEN REPAVED FOR 35, 36 YEARS.

DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE A PROGRAM OR STANDARDS FOR CERTAIN ROADS AFTER SO MANY YEARS.

EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT'S A TERRIBLE ROAD FOR YOU HOW COME THE CITY DOESN'T PUT THAT IN THE BUDGET AND WORK ON GETTING

THAT ROAD REPAVED. >> THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM?

ANYONE FROM THE COMMISSION? >> JUST ONE THING I WANT TO CLARIFY. THE WASTE ASSESSMENT FEE IS GOING TO BE LESS THAN THE 40,000.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE INFORMATION BACK FROM THE COUNTY, BUT IT HASN'T COME YET. EVERY CITY PARTICIPATING IS IN THE SAME QUANDARY. BUT IVAN TOLD IT IS QUITE LESS THAN WHAT THAT 40 SECONDS. RIGHT, BILL?

>> MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE MILLAGE

RATE. >> SECOND.

ONCE IT IS EXECUTED WE WILL SEND THAT TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER WE SHOULD RECEIVE OUR FIRST ALLOTMENT. AND GOING FORWARD WE HAVE A COMMISSION WORKSHOP SCHEDULE FOR OCTOBER 20, 2021 AT 5:00 P.M. I BELIEVE, IS THAT CORRECT? AND AT THAT TIME WE WILL DISCUSS THE POTENTIAL PROJECTS WE CAN SE ARPA FUNDING FOR. SO OUR ALLOCATIONS BY THE STATE OFFLORIDA WAS JUST UNDER 17 MILLION .

BACK IN APRIL AND MARCH WHEN THIS FIRST CAME OUT GIVEN THE RANGE OF SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 14 AND $17 MILLION WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE THROUGH THE ARPA FUNDS, AND THANKFUL TO SAY IN THE WAY IT IS DISTRIBUTED TO THE CITY IS THAT 50 PERCENT WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO US UPON EXECUTION OF THE AGREEMENT.

THE SECOND 50 PERCENT WILL BE SENT TO THE CITY ONE YEAR LATER. AND THE IMPORTANT DEADLINES TO REMEMBER AS WE GET INTO THIS IS THAT THE COST MUST BE INCURRED BY DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND THE MUST BE PAID BY DECEMBER 21, 2026. THOSE ARE HARD, FIRM DEADLINES THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY.

SO THERE ARE FOUR GENERAL USES ON HOW YOU CAN USE A FISCAL RECOVERY FUNDS. AS TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS DUE TO HIS PREMIUM PAY FOR WORKERS, THREE IS REVENUE LOSS AND FOR INVESTMENTS IN INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS, ANYTHING YOU DO TO MITIGATE THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 WOULD BE TESTING PPE, VENTILATION IMPROVEMENTS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH WITH MEDICAL EXPENSES FOR INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS COMMIT EXPENSES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, PUBLIC HEALTH, HEALTHCARE EMPLOYEES DEVOTED TO RESPOND TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

EFFORTS TO REMEDY THE EFFORT ON ECONOMIC HOUSEHOLDS.

AND EFFORTS TO REMEDY PRE-EXISTING ECONOMIC DISPARITIES THAT WERE MADE WORSE BY COVID-19.

UNDER THE PREMIUM PAY CATEGORY TO A FISCAL RECOVERY FUNDS ABUSE PAY FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS.

SOME OF THE EXAMPLES PROVIDED BY THE TREASURY STAFF IN NURSING HOMES, HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE SETTINGS, WORKERS OR FARMS, GROCERY STORES AND RESTAURANTS.

JANITORS, TRUCK DRIVERS, WAREHOUSE WORKERS.

PUBLICHEALTH AND SAFETY STUFF, CHILDCARE WORKERS, EDUCATORS , SOCIAL SERVICES AND HUMAN SERVICES FORGET YOU CAN SEE IT IS KIND OF A BROAD ON THE ROLE OF THEIR.

REVENUE LOSS AND RECIPIENTS MAY USE FISCAL RECOVERY FUNDS FOR THE GOVERNMENT SERVICES TO THE EXTENT OF THE REDUCTION OF REVENUE EXPERIENCE DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

AND AND UNDER THE INVESTMENTS IN INFRASTRUCTURE, IT CAN USE THE FUNDS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO CLEAN DRINKING WATER AND FOR WATER WERE STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY BROADBAND SERVICES.SO ONE OF THE THINGS AS WE ARE DIVING INTO THIS, THERE IS VERY DETAILED REPORTING THAT HAS TO BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. GENERALLY IN ALL OUR PAST AGREEMENTS WITH FEMA AND WHATNOT, EVERYTHING IS RECORDED TO THE STATE. WILL BE THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE EVERREPORTED IN THINK DIRECTLY TO WASHINGTON D.C. .

AND IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY DETAILED ACCOUNT OF EVERY DOLLAR THAT WE GET WE HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR IN A WAY.

I WOULD SAY AS STRINGENT IF NOT MORE STRINGENT THAN FEMA DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE ALREADY PRETTY LENGTHY AND EXHAUSTIVE. I WILL SAY NO AND WE HAVE TO KEEP THE RECORDS FOR FIVE YEARS, WE ARE LOOKING AT AN 8 TO 10 YEAR TIMELINE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A VERY LONG TERM UNDERTAKING BY THE CITY. ONE OF THE THINGS THE SUBJECT TO A FEDERAL SINGLE AUDIT ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT THAT IS PART OF THE GUIDANCE PROVIDED BY THE TREASURY. ALL ABOUT I HAVE.

[00:45:03]

WE WILL TALK MORE DETAIL ON OCTOBER 28.

>>RICH WALKER : ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS?

VICE MAYOR?>>BOB MAYERSOHN : ONLY REPORTING, THE SINGLE AUDIT HAS TO BE DONE ANNUALLY? !

THAT IS CORRECT. >>BOB MAYERSOHN : CAN THESE FUNDS CAN BE A COST RECOVERY FOR THAT COST?

>> I DON'T KNOW. AND THE COST FOR US TO DO A SINGLE AUDIT OR EXTERNAL AUDITORS IS ONLY $5000.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN USE OF FUNDS OR NOT, BUT $5000 IS

NOT THAT BIG OF A DIFFERENCE. >> I'M JUST CURIOUS IF IT CAN

BE RECOUPED THAT WAY. >> WE WILL LET YOU KNOW.

>> ANYBODY ELSE? ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM SAYING AS THERE IS NONE.

ANYBODY TECHNICIAN? EXCUSE ME.

>> I HAVE ONE COMMENT.-INTERACTION HERE.

SO THERE IS A PROVISION IN THE AGREEMENT PROVISION 13 H THAT SPEAKS TO A NON-APPROPRIATIONS CLAUSE THAT ESSENTIALLY SAYS THE STATES PERFORMANCE OF PROVIDING THE FUNDING TO THE CITY IS SUBJECT TO NON-APPROPRIATION FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT ATTORNEYS LIKE ME RAISE THIS ISSUE WITH THE STATE SINCE ESSENTIALLY THESE ARE FEDERAL FUNDS AND THEY ARE PASSED THROUGH THE STATE AND SHOULDN'T REALLY ACQUIRE APPROPRIATION WE DID GET CONFIRMATION THAT THE STATE WAS OKAY WITH STRIKING A PROVISION. OF THE COMMISSION IS GOING TO APPROVE IT, MY RECOMMENDATION TO YOU WOULD BE APPROVE IT WITHOUT AMENDMENT TO STRIKE 13 H.

>> CERTAINLY. OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THERE HAVE BEEN TWO REPORTS OF A MARSH BUNNY, THESE ARE THE BUNNIES THAT ARE VERY COMMON TO THIS AREA.

ONE WAS FOUND SHOT IN THE LEG, WITH A BLOW DART WHICH IS A LITTLE ARROW SHOT OUT FROM A BLOWGUN.

WAS HIT IN THE WAY, WHICH THIS WAS EARLY JULY.

EARLY THIS MONTH THE RESIDENT FOUND A BUNNY WITH A BLOW DART THROUGH THEIR LOWER JAW, WHICH THEY WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE AND TAKE TO A WILDLIFE CENTER WHERE THEY RESCUED IT AND REMOVED IT AND REHABBED IT AND RELEASED IT.

BACK TO THE WILD. IT IS NOT LEGAL TO SHOOT LOW DARTS AT BUNNIES IN THE STATE. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HUNT THEM WITH THE PROPER LICENSING TO DO SO.> I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE I APPRECIATE YOU WORKING ON THIS.

IT COULD MISS ITS TARGET AND HIT SOMEBODY ELSE, A KID OR WHATEVER. SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION SO I DO APPRECIATE YOU JUMPING ON THIS.

IT IS SOMETHING IF PEOPLE HAVE INFORMATION THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY REACH OUT TO BSO. AGAIN, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A

SERIOUS ISSUE. COMMISSIONER ISROW?>>JORDAN

[00:55:03]

I'M SURE MOST PARENTS OR SOMEONE WHO IS AWARE THAT SOMEONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS THIS TYPE OF WEAPON, HAS THIS TYPE OF THING, JUST PUT A STOP TO IT.

THERE'S NO NEED FOR THAT KIND OF WEAPON.

I GET IT, YOU ARE DOING YOUR JOB, IT'S UNFORTUNATE YOU HAVE TO GET AN OLD BUSINESS. BUT I WOULD HOPE FOR THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY CAN HAVE THEIR OWN INTERNAL DIALOGUE WITH THEIR FAMILIES, WITH THEIR KIDS OR WHATEVER AND TRY TO PUT THIS TO BED ONCE AND FOR ALL.

IT IS A REALLY HORRIFIC THING AND IT IS USUALLY SIGNS OF SOMETHING WILL BE ON PLAYING AROUND.

SO PLEASE, HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR KIDS, TALK TO THEM, UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE FOR SOMETHING MUCH MORE. THAT ALL.

>> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER CUTLER.

>>KEN CUTLER : ONE FOR THE THING, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MISTY WHO WAS THE SAVIOR OF THE BUNNY AND FOR ALL THE HARD WORK AND STUFF THAT SHE DID TO GET THE WORD OUT TO THE PUBLIC.

WE MAKE LIGHT OF THE FACT IT IS A RAPIDS, BUT THE REALITY IS THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION AND IT IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO RECTIFY AND IF THERE IS ANYBODY OUT THERE LISTENING THE DOES HAVE INFORMATION, PLEASE REPORT IT.

>>RICH WALKER : ANYONE ELSE? THANK YOU.
