>> ANY OPPOSED? IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

NOW WE HAVE COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON NONAGENDA ITEMS. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND YOU

HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO, FORGIVE ME I'VE ONLY GOT THREE MINUTES SO I'M GOING TO READ BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A LOT TO SAY.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF THE COMMISSIONERS AND MAYOR WALKER FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT. I KNOW THAT YOUR TIME IS PRECIOUS AND FOR THAT, THANK YOU.

FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW ME, MY NAME IS CHRIS SMITH.

I HAVE LIVED IN PARKLAND FOR TEN YEARS AND HAVE BEEN ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY IN SPORTS AND SCHOOLS.

I LOVE THE COMMUNITY AND MY KIDS AND WANT TO HELP OUT ANY WAY I CAN. I'M A BASEBALL GUY AND THAT'S MY WAY OF GIVING BACK. I'M HERE TONIGHT ABOUT THE WEST GLADES BASEBALL CLUB. I'M COACHING THE CLUB FOR THE SCHOOL. THE CLUB IS FULLY SUPPORTED AND RECOGNIZED BY THE SCHOOL. WE ARE CONSIDERED A CLUB NOT A TEAM BECAUSE THE COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MIDDLE SCHOOLS WITH A BASEBALL TEAM TO CONSIDER IT AN OFFICIAL SCHOOL SPORT.

THIS IS HOW IT'S ALWAYS BEEN. WEST GLADE AS HAD A BASEBALL TEAM FOR YEARS, NOTHING HAS CHANGED EXCEPT FOR OUR ABILITY TO SECURE A FIELD. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHERS IN THE CITY ABOUT THIS AND THE RESPONSE WAS DISTURBING.

I DIDN'T HEAR THAT'S GREAT, LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN.

INSTEAD I WAS GIVEN EXCUSES AS TO WHY I COULDN'T DO IT.

IN THE END I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO BE WRITTEN INTO THE SPORTS TO PRACTICE AND PLAY IN PARKLAND.

I FIRST BROUGHT MY CASE TO THE SPORTS ADVISORY BOARD AND THEY TOLD ME NO. WORST THEY TABLED IT INDEFINITELY. WHY WOULD ANYONE SAY NO TO THIS? IT'S REALLY PRETTY SIMPLE. PARKLAND KIDS, PARKLAND SCHOOL, PARKLAND FIELDS. THAT'S MY MOTTO FOR YOU TONIGHT.

SO I'M HERE ASKING THE COMMISSIONERS AND MAYOR WALKER TO GRANT AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE WEST GLADES BASEBALL CLUB, TO USE THE FIELDS BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH FROM 4:30 TO 6:00. NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE USES IT DURING THIS TIME SLOT. AS I TOLD THE ADVISORY BOARD, I'M ASKING FOR A FIELD AT THE TIME NO ONE EVER USES.

I'M NOT INTERFERING WITH LITTLE LEAGUE, SOFTBALL, OR TRAVEL.

I HAVE THE REQUIRED INSURANCE AND WILL COMPLY WITH OTHER REQUIREMENTS. SO I'M ASKING YOU TO SUPPORT THE PARKLAND SCHOOL AND THE PARKLAND KIDS.

IF I DON'T GET FIELDS IN MY HOMETOWN, I WON'T PRACTICE AND PLAY. I HAVE CALLED AROUND TO OTHER CITIES TO ASK IF MY REQUEST WAS OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

I WAS TOLD THEY GIVE THEIR MIDDLE SCHOOLS FREE OF CHARGE AS LONG AS THEY'RE DONE BY 6:00 P.M. CORAL SPRINGS SAID WITH WIDE OPEN ARMS COME PLEASE. I ALSO SPOKE TO SEVERAL PARENTS THAT WANTED TO COME TONIGHT. I TOLD THEM THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO HERE, WE SPEAK FOR THE CLUB. THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE CAN'T PLAY IN PARKLAND. IT DOESN'T SOUND GOOD AND IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD. I WILL END THIS BY SAYING PARKLAND SCHOOL, PARKLAND KIDS, PARKLAND FIELDS.

I'M HAPPY TO STAY AFTER OR ANYTHING YOU WANT.

I'VE GOT ALL OF MY FORMS TO SHOW YOU.

I HAVE THE SCHOOL FORMS FOR THE -- THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> GREAT. THANK YOU, CHRIS.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON A

NONAGENDA ITEM? >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, CITY ATTORNEY, AND CITY CLERK.

I'M AN INTERN WITH STATE REPRESENTATIVE CHRISTINA JAWSKI'S OFFICE. I VERY MUCH ENJOY ATTENDING THESE MEETINGS AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO

[00:05:05]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON A NONAGENDA ITEM? SEEING AS THERE'S NONE, WE'LL GO TO COMMENTS BY THE COMMISSION.

SO IF IT'S OKAY WITH EVERYBODY, I'D LIKE TO START TONIGHT.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE WEST GLADE BASEBALL TEAM.

SO THANK YOU FOR COMING, CHRIS. SO CHRIS HAD MENTIONED THAT WEST GLADES HAS HAD A TEAM FOR SEVERAL YEARS WHICH THAT IS TRUE. THE WEST GLADES MIDDLE SCHOOL TEAM WAS RUN THROUGH THE POKERS FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

CHRIS APPROACHED ME LAST YEAR OR WHENEVER AND ASKED ME ABOUT GETTING FIELDS. HAVING BEEN A COACH ON A WEST GLADES TEAM SINCE MY SON WAS IN SIXTH GRADE, CURRENTLY NOW IN EIGHTH GRADE, I SAID THAT WOULD BE GREAT THAT YOU WOULD BE A COACH. I DON'T HAVE TIME, WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN. WE CAN HAVE YOU ON THE COACHING STAFF, I'LL GET YOU IN TOUCH WITH THE POKERS.

YOU CAN BE ON THE TEAM, YOUR DAUGHTER CAN BE ON THE TEAM.

WE CAN BUILD THIS TOGETHER AND HAVE A COMMUNITY THING.

CHRIS SAID WHY WOULD I HAVE TO DO THAT? WELL THE TEAM HAS BEEN RUN THROUGH THE POKERS BECAUSE OUR SPORTS POLICY, BECAUSE WE ARE LIMITED WITH FIELDS.

SO OUR SPORTS POLICY IS WRITTEN IN SUCH A WAY SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO CHOOSE WHO WE APPROVE AND WHO WE DON'T APPROVE.

AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE SPORTS POLICY WRITTEN AS THAT.

BUT WHAT CONCERNS ME IS GREG SPOKE TO YOU, LEE SPOKE TO YOU, AND I SPOKE TO YOU, SAID LET'S WORK TOGETHER.

YOU WERE OFFERED A POSITION AS A COACH ON THE WEST GLADES TEAM WHICH HAS BEEN RUN BY THE POKERS FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S GOOD WITH THE POKERS RUNNING THE PROGRAM IS THEY HAVE 7-YEAR-OLDS, 8-YEAR-OLDS, 9-YEAR-OLDS, THEY WILL HAVE A CONTINUING LEGACY YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR. SO THE WEST GLADES TEAM CAN RUN FOREVER AS LONG AS THE POKERS IS AROUND.

SO IT DOES CONCERN ME A LITTLE BIT THAT YOU WERE OFFERED AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY AS PARKLAND RESIDENTS, AS A BASEBALL GUY, AND YOU DECIDED YOU DIDN'T WANT TO WORK TOGETHER, AND INSTEAD OF TRYING TO WORK WITH THE POKERS, YOU CIRCUMVENTED WHAT WAS GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND WENT AND SAID HEY, CAN I RUN THE TEAM? AND BIANCI SINCE THE TEAM IS NOT, YES, IT'S SOMEWHAT SPONSORED BY WEST GLADES, BUT HE REALLY DOESN'T CARE MUCH ABOUT THE BASEBALL TEAM BECAUSE IT'S NOT SUPPORTED BY BROWARD COUNTY SO HE WAS LIKE SURE, GO AHEAD, CHRIS.

FORGETTING THE FACT THAT THE POKERS HAD BEEN RUNNING THE SO I APPRECIATE YOU COMING AND I APPRECIATE YOU WANTING TO HELP AND VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S GREAT.

BUT I'M DEFINITELY DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU DID NOT EVEN GIVE A CHANCE TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THE POKERS.

SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ON THE WEST GLADES BASEBALL TEAM.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT'S BEEN, WE'VE BEEN VERY BUSY.

WE HAD THE SOLDIER RUSH. THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

VETERANS DAY WAS AMAZING. TO SEE MANNY TALK ABOUT SERVICE AND DOING MORE FOR OTHERS THAN YOURSELF.

THAT TO ME IS WHAT VETERANS DAY IS ALL ABOUT, SELFLESSNESS.

CARING ABOUT OTHERS. THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT. THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT CERTAINLY NOW WITH THE HOLIDAYS COMING UP, WE HAD A TRAGEDY NOT THAT LONG IN OUR COMMUNITY.

I THINK THE FUNERAL WAS JUST ON MONDAY AND OBVIOUSLY CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY. WE NEED TO TRY TO REMEMBER WHAT'S IMPORTANT. WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

FAMILY, FRIENDS, COMMUNITY, THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

BEING TOGETHER, TRYING TO WORK TOGETHER, NOT HAVING AN AGENDA, NOT OUT FOR YOUR OWN THINGS, OUT TO REALLY HELP THE COMMUNITY AND WORK TOGETHER, THAT'S IMPORTANT. WE TRY TO DO THAT ALL THE TIME

[00:10:02]

THAT'S WHAT MAKES OUR COMMUNITY STRONGER, AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES OUR COMMUNITY GROW BY US WORKING TOGETHER.

OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE THANKSGIVING COMING UP.

I WANT TO WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

I WANT TO ALSO MENTION THE RIZZO WALK, TO HEAR THOSE STORIES.

ANOTHER PERSON WHO THINKS ABOUT OTHERS MORE THAN THEMSELVES.

TO HEAR SOME OF THOSE STORIES OF WHAT THE RIZZO FOUNDATION HAS DONE FOR SOME OF THOSE FAMILIES, IT'S AMAZING TO HEAR THAT, AND IT'S WONDERFUL THAT SOMEONE WHO HAS MADE IT SO BIG REMEMBERS HIS COMMUNITY. OBVIOUSLY HIS FATHER IS STILL HERE, HIS BROTHER IS STILL HERE. SO OBVIOUSLY THERE'S AN ATTACHMENT THERE AND WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO PRESENT HIM WITH THE JERSEY WHICH I THOUGHT WAS KIND OF COOL.

I CAN'T FORGET WITHOUT SAYING CONGRATULATIONS TO NOW MAYOR MICHAEL YUDEAN. HE'S BEEN AN AMAZING ADVOCATE FOR PARKLAND FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

I WAS GLAD TO BE THERE AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO. SHOUT OUT TO JROTC, STATE CHAMPS, FIRST TIME IN STATE HISTORY.

I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE. SO VOICE MAYOR, YOU WANT TO GO NEXT? WE'LL GO BACKWARDS.

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY, YOU SAID EVERYTHING I WANTED TO SAY.

JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS, NUMBER ONE JUST TO CATCH YOU GUYS UP TO SPEED ON THE SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING WORK GROUP, NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE VENDOR AND THE COUNTY BROKE DOWN SO NOW THEY'RE OUT LOOKING FOR NEW VENDORS TO DO THE WASTE GENERATION STUDY. THE COUNTY CURRENTLY HAS TWO VENDORS THEY'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH.

OBVIOUSLY AS WE GET MORE INFORMATION, WE WILL PROVIDE OR I'LL PROVIDE UPDATES. I ASKED IF THIS IS GOING TO INCREASE THE PRICE OR DECREASE THE PRICE AND AT THIS POINT, WE DON'T KNOW. BUT I THINK THE MONEY THAT WE PUT ASIDE SHOULD BE SAFE. SO DOING THE WASTE GENERATION STUDY. WE'RE ALSO MOVING FORWARD IN CREATING AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT AS WELL AS A MISSION STATEMENT.

WE'RE CONTINUING MEETING EVERY TWO WEEKS TO PUSH THIS FORWARD.

ONCE WE GET THAT ALL SOLIDIFIED, THAT WILL GO OUT TO THE ENTIRE GROUP TO AT LEAST LOOK AT IT, VOTE ON IT, MAKE SOME DECISIONS, TWEAKS, AND GO FROM THERE. AGAIN JUST TO REITERATE SOLDIER RUSH, GREAT EVENT. FARMERS MARKET IS BACK WITH AN INCREDIBLE OPENING DAY OF FARMERS MARKET.

I THINK WE'VE HAD THE MOST WE'VE EVER HAD.

VETERANS DAY CEREMONY, AGAIN A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY.

RIZZO WALK, CAN'T SAY ANYTHING MORE ABOUT THAT THAN YOU DID, MAYOR. THE HARVEST DRIVE WHICH WE WERE AT. AGAIN GREAT OPPORTUNITY ESPECIALLY FOR THE YOUNGER KIDS THAT WERE THERE TO KIND OF LEARN AND BE PART OF GIVING BACK. A LOT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS HAVE DONE THEIR OWN LITTLE DRIVES TO GIVE BACK.

I KNOW RIVER GLADES IS GIVING BACK TO PROVIDE TURKEYS FOR PARK RIDGE ELEMENTARY. THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT OUR COMMUNITY ARE DOING. I ALSO WANT TO GIVE TWO SHOUT OUTS, NUMBER ONE TO IN THIS CASE AT PUBLIC WORKS AND I DON'T KNOW IN THIS CASE'S LAST NAME BUT, I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THE RESPONSE THAT I GOT BACK, I WAS AT THE SOLDIER RUSH, THE PUMPKIN PATCH AND OTHER THINGS AND JUST THE RESPONSE FROM THE COMMUNITY WAS WHO IS THIS GUY, HE'S LIKE SUPERMAN.

HE'S ALL OVER THE PLACE DOING WHATEVER WAS NEEDED, GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE HIM A SHOUT OUT AND SAY THANK YOU SO YOU COULD RELAY THAT INFORMATION TO HIM.

AND I ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE JOHN INDIA WHO WAS A FORMER, HE'S RETIRED, RIGHT? BUT WAS A FORMER LONG TERM SRO AT WEST GLADE. CONGRATULATIONS TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY. HIS SON JONATHAN WAS NAMED THE

NHL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, VICE MAYOR. COMMISSIONER PRYOR.

>> NICK IS FANTASTIC, I'VE DEALT WITH HIM IN A COUPLE OF

[00:15:05]

AND CONGRATS. WE HAVE OUR FARMERS MARKET COMING UP SUNDAY WITH THE CRAFT FAIR.

AS THE VICE MAYOR SAID, IT WAS OUR BEST ATTENDED ONE LAST TIME AND I THINK IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE THAT WAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON. WE HAVE OUR HAYRIDE AND BONFIRE COMING UP. WE'VE HAD A YEAR AND A HALF OF CHALLENGES AND WE HAVE A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

>> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER CUTLER.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. I WILL NOT REPEAT EVERYTHING EVERYBODY SAID BECAUSE I BASICALLY HAVE ALL OF THE SAME THINGS ON MY LIST TOO. CONGRATULATIONS TO MICHAEL YUDEAN, YOU BASICALLY MADE PARKLAND HISTORY BY BECOMING A MAYOR BOTH IN THE CITY AND THE COUNTY.

I ATTENDED THE SHOW, THE DRAMA CLUB DID AN AMAZING JOB ONCE AGAIN. VERY ENTERTAINING PERFORMANCE.

ON NOVEMBER 8TH, I ATTENDED WITH MY WIFE.

THE ARTHUR AND EMILY GUTTERMAN ANNUAL EDUCATORS APPRECIATION DINNER. CONGRATULATIONS TO DR. LOUISE BALL TO EDUCATE OUR YOUTH ABOUT THE HORRORS OF THE HOLOCAUST AND SOCIAL INJUSTICE. IT WAS WELL ATTENDED AND THERE WERE SURVIVORS PRESENT THAT EVENING WHICH WAS WONDERFUL TO ATTEND. SHOUT OUT TO LAUDERDALE LAKES AND MANY THANKS TO MAYOR HAZEL ROGERS AND THANK YOU FOR HOSTING THE EVENT WHICH I ATTENDED LIVE. IT WAS GOOD TO BE BACK IN A LIVE SETTING AGAIN WITH OUR FELLOW COMMISSIONERS FROM OTHER CITIES.

AND SAME THING WITH ALL OF THE OTHER EVENTS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I THOUGHT THE STAFF DID AN AMAZING JOB WITH THE EVENTS WE'VE HAD IN THE CITY.

VETERANS DAY, THE RIZZO WALK, THE FARMERS MARKET WAS UNBELIEVABLE, OFF THE HOOK, AND THE WEATHER WAS SPECTACULAR.

SO IT ALL SORT OF COALESCED INTO AN AMAZING THING.

I WANT TO THANK VOLUNTEERS FOR A GREAT JOB SETTING UP THE EVENT.

SECURING DONATIONS TO SUPPORT OUR MILITARY VETERANS AND GETTING THINGS PICKED UP SO THAT THE NEXT DAY WE COULD KICK OFF THE FARMERS MARKET. THAT WAS A HUGE TASK THAT HIS GROUP UNDERTOOK. AND I KNOW I DROVE BY THERE AT 6:00 AT NIGHT. KEVIN TATCHER WAS DRIVING THEY WERE LITERALLY SLEEPING WHILE THEY WERE PICKING STUFF UP.

>> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER ISROW.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GO LAST. I WON'T BELABOR EVERYTHING, BUT I DO WANT TO PERSONALLY GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MICHAEL YUDEAN, IT'S AN AMAZING HONOR. I THINK HE WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE I MET WHEN I CAME TO THE CITY OF PARKLAND.

I REMEMBER THIS GUY MAKING IT SOUND LIKE UTOPIA.

YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU'RE THE REASON I'M LIVING HERE NOW, YOU'RE THE REASON I'VE GOTTEN INVOLVED IN THIS COMMUNITY. SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR US, PAVING THE WAY.

ECHO THE SAME SENTIMENT VETERANS DAY WAS AMAZING.

THERE WAS ONE EVENT A NUMBER OF US WENT TO, THE BSO CEREMONY TO HONOR SOME OF THE LOST OFFICERS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO COVID. I THINK THIS TOUCHES ON WHAT YOU SAID, MAYOR, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS PUT THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE FOR ALL OF THE CRAZINESS AND NONSENSE WE THINK ACTUALLY MATTERS, IT KIND OF CUTS THROUGH IT ALL AND REMINDS YOU THAT IT'S REALLY INSIGNIFICANT IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS, BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR MESSAGE TONIGHT. I THINK THERE'S A LOT TO BE SAID ABOUT THAT AND TO YOU AS WELL, COMMISSIONER BRIER TALKING ABOUT THANKSGIVING COMING UP, YOU SAID IT BEST, THERE'S A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR EVEN IF IT'S LITTLE THINGS.

I APPRECIATE THAT MESSAGE AND I SECOND THAT.

OTHER THAN THAT HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE.

[00:20:01]

[6. Approval of the Agenda]

>> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER ISROW.

>> APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA. >> MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> MOTION TO APPROVE BY VICE MAYOR MAYERSOHN. ALL IN FAVOR.

>> AYE. >> ANY OPPOSED?

[7. Regular Agenda]

>> IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> WE ARE NOW AT THE REGULAR AGENDA. ITEM 7A IS SELECTION OF VICE

MAYOR. >> DID YOU WANT TO --

>> DID I WANT TO -- >> DID YOU WANT TO SAY

SOMETHING? >> A LITTLE BIT I GUESS.

FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO THANK THIS COMMISSION AS WELL AS YOU, MAYOR, FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. IT'S BEEN AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO SERVE AS MAYOR AND I THANK MY COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR SUPPORT. IT IS SOMETHING THAT I JOKED AROUND I SAID WELL I COULD NOMINATE MYSELF.

BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT HISTORICALLY WE HAVE ROTATED THROUGH. WE'RE ALL QUALIFIED TO SERVE.

I MEAN EVERYBODY UP HERE DOES A GREAT JOB.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO NAM NATE -- NOMINATE COMMISSIONER BRIER. I THINK WHAT HE BROUGHT FORWARD THIS YEAR HAVING SOME PERSONAL CHALLENGES BUT BEING RESILIENT THROUGH THEM, SHOWING UP, BEING HERE FOR THE RESIDENTS, I THINK HE WOULD BE A GREAT CHOICE TO REPRESENT ALL OF US.

THAT'S MY MOTION. >> WHILE WE'RE HERE, I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I THINK COMMISSIONER BRIER HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB AS WELL. BUT THE ONLY THING I WILL SAY, AND IT'S UP TO YOU WHETHER YOU THINK IT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO, BUT RECOGNIZING YOUR TERM LIMIT IS COMING DUE.

FOR A MAN WHO'S SO PASSIONATE ABOUT HISTORY, I THINK YOU CAN APPRECIATE THAT YOU'VE GIVEN ALL TO THIS CITY IN A WAY THAT I THINK MOST PEOPLE CAN TALK ABOUT.

I THINK PARKLAND IS IN YOUR BLOOD, I THINK IT'S IN YOUR DNA.

SO NOT TO SAY ANYTHING LESS OF COMMISSIONER BRIER, BUT I THINK IN TERMS OF TIMELINESS AND GIVING THE OPPORTUNITY, I WOULD

RECOMMEND COMMISSIONER CUTLER. >> SO I GUESS THAT LEAVES ME.

VICE MAYOR SAID IT PERFECTLY. WE'RE ALL VERY QUALIFIED.

THERE IS NO WRONG PICK. EVERYBODY UP HERE I RESPECT TREMENDOUSLY. I THINK IT'S FANTASTIC.

I THINK THIS FIRST YEAR WE'VE DONE A GREAT JOB, WE'VE GOTTEN ALONG FANTASTICALLY. WE DIDN'T ALWAYS AGREE ON EVERYTHING, BUT WE'RE VERY PROFESSIONAL WHICH I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT. WE'RE ALWAYS CORDIAL.

BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, I THINK COMMISSIONER CUTLER, AGAIN TO JORDAN'S POINT, HE'S GOT TWO YEARS LEFT, THREE YEARS LEFT, SORRY ABOUT THAT. CUTTING YOUR TIME SHORT.

I THINK THIS PAST YEAR YOU'VE REALLY SHOWN THAT, WHICH YOU ALWAYS HAVE, BUT WE KNOW YOU LOVE PARKLAND, I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING AGAINST YOU OBVIOUSLY. JUST PRAISING COMMISSIONER CUTLER. EVERYTHING JORDAN SAID I THINK WAS SPOT ON SO I HATE TO CHOOSE, BUT OBVIOUSLY THAT'S PART OF THE

JOB. >> I SWEAR I LOVE YOU.

>> NO, I DO AGREE WITH JORDAN. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE COMMISSIONER CUTLER AS THE VICE MAYOR. ROLL CALL? RIGHT, WE'VE GOT TO DO A ROLL CALL.

>> WELL THERE WAS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS NO

SECOND THAT I HEARD. >> OH SO I GUESS I WILL SECOND

-- >> COMMISSIONER ISROW I THINK

MADE A RECOMMENDATION. >> LET ME REVAMP MY TERMINOLOGY, I WOULD LIKE TO CONVERT MY RECOMMENDATION TO A MOTION.

>> BUT MAYOR, IT'S REALLY UP TO THE COMMISSION HOW YOU WANT TO PROCEED. THE CHARTER DOESN'T SPEAK TO THE

MECHANISM. >> I WILL SECOND THE MOTION FOR COMMISSIONER CUTLER AND I GUESS WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO A ROLL CALL I GUESS. IS THAT GOOD WITH EVERYBODY?

>> FIRST OF ALL LET ME SAY THIS, I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR COMMISSIONER CUTLER. I THINK HE WILL BE A TREMENDOUS VICE MAYOR. HE HAS SERVED THIS COMMUNITY

WITH HONOR. >> SO I WOULD SAY WITH THAT,

[00:25:03]

I DON'T KNOW IF ROLL CALL IS NECESSARY AT THIS POINT.

>> I WOULD SUGGEST YOU DO A MOTION AND APPROVAL.

>> VERY GOOD. ROLL CALL.

>> FOR COMMISSIONER CUTLER TO BECOME THE VICE MAYOR.

COMMISSIONER BRIER. >> NO.

>> COMMISSIONER CUTLER. >> SO -- WHAT CAN I SAY? SIMEON, I LOVE YOU BUDDY. AND I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR YOUR KIND WORDS ON THE DAIS AND I AM HUMBLED AND HONORED TO BE ASKED TO DO THIS. SO I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES.

>> COMMISSIONER ISROW. >> YES, AND AGAIN I HATE HAVING TO MAKE THIS CHOICE. IT'S LIKE TRYING TO TELL SOMEONE WHO YOUR FAVORITE CHILD IS, BUT YES.

I MEANT PARENT. >> AND FOR THE FINAL TIME NOW,

VICE MAYOR MAYERSOHN. >> AGAIN, AS I SAID BEFORE I THINK WE'RE ALL QUALIFIED. IT WOULD BE MY HONOR AND PLEASURE TO THROW BACK THE VICE MAYORSHIP BACK TO COMMISSIONER CUTLER. I'M SURE YOU HAVE SHIRTS AND

STUFF LEFT. >> MAYOR WALKER.

YES. PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES

UNANIMOUSLY. >> WE ARE NOW ON ITEM 7B.

YEAR END STRATEGIC PLANNING UPDATE.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, NEW VICE MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS.

DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES AND THE LIBRARY.

TONIGHT OUR TEAM IS HERE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE FISCAL YEAR 21 STRATEGIC PLAN.

THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS SOMETHING THAT HELPS US SET OUR PRIORITIES TO MOVE FORWARD AND WORK TOGETHER ON COMMON GOALS.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE CERTAINLY DONE THIS YEAR.

YOU'VE RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE YEAR END REPORT.

TONIGHT ALL WE'RE DOING IS A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE INDIVIDUAL ACTION ITEMS THAT ARE IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

OUR TEAM IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT ANY OF THE INDIVIDUAL ACTION PLANS AS WELL.

OKAY SO TAKING A LOOK AT THE PROGRESS OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

THOSE ARE ITEMS THAT WE ANTICIPATED WOULD BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. 34 OF THE ACTION ITEMS ARE PART OF A MULTIYEAR PLAN. THE PORTION SCHEDULED TO BE DONE DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR PLAN IS DONE, BUT THEY'RE PART OF A MULTIYEAR PLAN SO THEY WEREN'T COMPLETE.

6% OF THE ACTION PLANS WERE DELAYED.

MOST OF THOSE DUE TO COVID-19 AND SOME OF THEM DUE TO THE REWORK OF THE PLANS OR PROCUREMENT.

AND THE REMAINING 6% THAT WEREN'T COMPLETED REPRESENT

ACTUALLY JUST TWO ITEMS. >> SO THIS PROCESS IS FLUID SO WE CAN HAVE CONVERSATIONS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

I JUST WANT TO GO BACK ONE SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE CAME UP WITH WHICH IS OUR UNIQUE WAY OF GOING THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION.

>> SO ONE THING THAT YOU'LL NOTICE THAT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN OUR UPCOMING STRATEGIC PLAN IS THAT FOR THE MULTIYEAR PLANS WE ARE ACTUALLY JUST GOING TO BE TAKING A LOOK AT MEASURING WHAT WE ANTICIPATE TO BE DONE DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR. SO EVEN THOUGH IT WILL BE INDICATED THAT IT IS A MULTIYEAR PLAN, YOU'LL GET TO SEE WHAT THE PROGRESS IS THAT WE ANTICIPATE JUST DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR.

[00:30:05]

CONTINUING LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES PROVIDED BY BSO IS THE NEXT ACTION AND WE DID EXERCISE THE THREE YEAR EXTENSION OF THE CONTRACT WITH THEM AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PAUL IS ALSO CONTINUING TO MONITOR.

CONDUCTING QUARTERLY TRUST AND CONFIDENT SURVEYS REGARDING LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AND ESTABLISHING PERFORMANCE MEASURES, THOSE WERE ALSO COMPLETE.

BSO DID DO THE QUARTERLY SURVEYS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES WERE ESTABLISHED AND OUR PUBLIC SAFETY COORDINATOR IS ALSO FOLLOWING THOSE. THE TWO NEXT ITEMS THE POLICE EXPLORE PROGRAM AND THE CITIZENS ACADEMY ARE SOME PLANS THAT HAD TO BE DELAYED DUE TO COVID-19. BUT THE CITIZENS ACADEMY IS SOMETHING THAT WILL REMAIN A PART OF THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN AND THEY'LL BE MONITORED AS THE PANDEMIC CONDITIONS CHANGE. MAINTAINING CODE ENFORCEMENT PRACTICES, ALL OF THE CODE RELATED INSPECTIONS WERE COMPLETED IN COMPLIANCE. CALLS AND COMPLAINTS WERE RESPONDED TO WITHIN 24 HOURS. AND CODE BEGAN ISSUING SOME WARNING NOTICES WHICH PROVIDED AN INCREASE IN VOLUNTARY

COMPLIANCE. >> THANK YOU.

SO THE STORMWATER MASTER PLAN HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROCESS.

WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE 60% VERSION OF THE PLAN.

AND STAFF RIGHT NOW IS GOING THROUGH THE REVIEW OF THAT PLAN.

OUR INTENT IS TO GET A FINAL DOCUMENT BY THE END OF THIS MONTH, EARLY DECEMBER AND WE'LL HAVE SOME PUBLIC OUTREACH BECAUSE THAT WAS PART OF THE SCOPE OF THIS EXERCISE AND WE'LL MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENT TO THE PLANS BEFORE FINALLY BRINGING IT BACK TO THE COMMISSION EARLY NEXT YEAR FOR CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION. OUR INTENT IS TO HAVE THE PLAN ADOPTED SO WE CAN UTILIZE THAT PLAN FOR FUTURE FUNDING.

NOW AS YOU KNOW THERE ARE SOME FUNDING THAT WE ARE TAPPING INTO AS A RESULT OF THE PLAN, BUT IT LIMITS YOUR POSITION TO OBTAIN FUNDING IN THE FUTURE. THE STORM WATER UTILITY FEE IS ON HOLD BECAUSE WE ARE WAITING ON THE CAPITAL PROJECTS PORTION OF THIS MASTER PLAN TO INCORPORATE IT BACK INTO THAT FEE STUDY. AND THEN WE'LL BRING THAT FEE STUDY BACK TO THE COMMISSION AGAIN FOR CONSIDERATION OF HOPEFULLY PUTTING THAT FEE IN THE PLACE.

SO THE ANNEXATION PORTION OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN, AS YOU KNOW ANNEXATION IS COMPLETE. THAT IS ANTICIPATED FOR SEPTEMBER OF 2022. AND ALL OF OUR COMP PLAN AMENDMENTS AND MAP ANNEXATIONS WERE ALSO COMPLETED THROUGH THE STRATEGIC PLANNING YEAR. SO OUR SECURE CITY FACILITIES, WE HAD TO CHANGE THE MECHANISM OF PROCUREMENT.

WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING WITH PRIOR WE WANTED TO GO WITH DESIGN BUILD, BUT WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH THE DESIGN BID BUILD.

AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE GETTING READY TO PUT THE BID OUT IN THE UPCOMING MONTH SO THAT'S GOING TO BE TRACKED IN THE FUTURE STRATEGIC PLAN. SO THIS CPSM RECOMMENDATION, THAT IS MOSTLY COMPLETE. BUT AS YOU KNOW THE HUB SOLUTION IS IN WORK AND THE ORCUT PORTION IS STILL IN INTEGRATION.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT PROCESS AS A STAFF.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OF OUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

THE UNIVERSITY DRIVE ROUNDABOUT IS LOOKING GOOD.

WE'RE CLOSE TO COMPLETION. WE'RE EXPECTING SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION WITHIN THIS MONTH AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL PUNCH OUT THE ROUNDABOUT AND CLOSE IT DOWN IN DECEMBER.

SO THAT'S EXCITING. THE ADA ACCESSIBILITY.

WE GOT OUR WORKING GROUP PORTION OF THAT PROCESS.

OUR HOPE IS TO BRING THAT TRANSITION PLAN TO THE COMMISSION IN 2022 ALSO FOR ADOPTION.

BUT THE WORKING GROUP WENT WELL, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE BACK ANY FEEDBACK WE GOT FROM THE WORKING GROUP AND WE'RE GOING TO INCORPORATE IT INTO THE DRAFT TRANSITION PLAN AND ONCE WE COMPLETE THAT PLAN, IT WILL ULTIMATELY COME TO THE COMMISSION FOR ADOPTION. THE DOT IS HOPING TO HAVE A CONTRACTOR ON BOARD IN THE SUMMER OF 22.

AND THIS PROJECT IS SLATED TO BEGIN NOVEMBER DECEMBER OF 22.

THAT'S GOOD NEWS BECAUSE INITIALLY WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EARLY 2023. SO IT WILL BE MOVED UP A LITTLE BIT TO GET OUR PROJECT GOING. SO THAT'S GREAT NEWS AND THE PINE TREE PROJECT AS YOU KNOW IS ON HOLD DUE TO LITIGATION.

[00:35:06]

>> SUPPORTING COMMUNITY EFFORTS FOR BOUNDARY CHANGES THAT WOULD BENEFIT PARKLAND STUDENTS. THE PROCESS WAS DELAYED DUE TO COVID-19 BUT THEY EXPECT THAT TO CONTINUE IN DECEMBR.

WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH OUR BOUNDARIES. SO YOU KNOW THE CITY MANAGER AND I MET WITH THE DEMOGRAPHICS TEAM WITH BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. AND WE'VE ASKED THEM TO COME TO THE COMMISSION MEETING IN JANUARY TO PROVIDE YOU ALL WITH AN UPDATE. MAINTAIN STRONG WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALL OF THE AGENDAS AND MEETINGS WITH THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. WE PROVIDE UPDATED INFORMATION ON THINGS LIKE ENROLLMENT AND WE CONTINUE TO HAVE REGULAR COMMUNICATIONS AND MEETINGS WITH THE PRINCIPALS AND THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STAFF AT BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS WE WOULD INTERACT WITH. MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIAL. THEY'VE BEEN MONITORING THE MONTHLY PROGRESS OF THIS PROJECT.

>> THIS IS A VERY COMPREHENSIVE PROCESS THAT TOOK A LOT OF INVOLVEMENT FROM THE COMMISSION, CITY STAFF AND OUR RESIDENTS AND WE WERE PROUD THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER A VERY NICE, PROFESSIONAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WAS ADOPTED BY OUR COMMISSION. SO THAT WAS COMPLETED BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2020. AND FROM THAT PLAN, WE WERE ABLE TO DERIVE SOME OF OUR PARK PROJECTS.

ONE OF WHICH WAS OUR PINE TRAILS PARK IMPROVEMENTS WHICH WAS TO IMPROVE THE DRAINAGE ON OUR MULTIPURPOSE FIELDS 6 THROUGH 9.

AS YOU ALL KNOW THAT PROJECT HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND THOSE FIELDS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND DRAINAGE IS WORKING GREAT.

THE NEXT ACTION ITEM WAS OUR BASEBALL FIELD RECONFIGURATION.

WE WERE ABLE TO GO AHEAD AND FINISH AND COMPLETE THE DESIGN ON THAT. IT IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND IS SCHEDULED TO HAVE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION EARLY 2022. AND THEN THE LAST ACTION ITEM WAS FOR OUR PLAYGROUND IMPROVEMENT.

THERE WERE SOME DELAYS TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT.

MOST OF IT WAS DUE TO SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES AS WELL AS SOME RECOMMENDATIONS TO REDESIGN AND ADD A SHADE STRUCTURE THERE AT THAT PLAYGROUND. BUT THAT PROJECT IS SCHEDULED TO

BE COMPLETED LATER THIS MONTH. >> ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT HAD NOT BEEN COMPLETED THIS FISCAL YEAR IS DEVELOPING A MARKETING PLAN AND THAT'S BECAUSE REALLY THE MARKETING PLAN IS A SUBSET OF THE OVERARCHING COMMUNICATIONS PLAN.

AND THERE ARE OTHER EFFORTS OUR TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING ON SUCH AS SOCIAL MEDIA AND MEDIA PRODUCTION.

THE MAYOR'S MINUTE IS SOMETHING THAT'S BECOME VERY POPULAR AND OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM IS DOING A FANTASTIC JOB WITH IT.

MOVING FORWARD WITH THE WAYFINDING AND SIGNAGE PROGRAM, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD NATURALLY HAVE TO OCCUR AFTER THE BRANDING INITIATIVE THAT WE HAVE COMING UP IN THIS FISCAL YEAR. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'LL NEED TO DELAY A BIT. WEBSITE AND THE CITY DOCUMENTS ADA ACCESSIBILITY, THE ADA ACCESSIBILITY COMMITTEE INTERNALLY HAS BEEN CREATING CITY WIDE STANDARDS FOR DOCUMENTS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ADA STANDARDS.

AS A MATTER OF FACT THIS POWERPOINT PRESENTATION HERE TONIGHT IS SOMETHING THAT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ADA REGULATIONS.

AND THIS EFFORT WITH OUR WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY IS GOING TO BE COMBINED WITH OUR OVERALL ADA TRANSITION PLAN IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN. SO THAT IS ONE INITIATIVE.

>> GOOD EVENING. BUDGET AND GRANTS MANAGER.

FOR THE GRANT FUNDING PLAN, I CAME IN ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO AND THERE WERE THREE ACTIVE AWARDED GRANTS THAT I CONTINUED TO MANAGE. AS YOU KNOW, GRANTS TAKE A LONG TIME FROM AWARD TO WHEN YOU ACTUALLY GET THE MONEY.

AND THOSE TOTALED $580,000. AND I'M WORKING TO BRING THAT IN. SINCE THEN, WE'VE RECEIVED FIVE NEW GRANT AWARDS TOTALLING 1.6 MILLION.

AND THERE ARE FOUR PENDING THAT I HOPEFULLY AM TO HEAR ABOUT WITHIN THE NEXT 6 TO 8 MONTHS. AND I WILL OF COURSE CONTINUE TO APPLY FOR GRANTS AS PROJECTS COME UP.

AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, I DO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE LOBBYISTS

[00:40:02]

THIS YEAR FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR BUDGET, FISCAL YEAR 23 STATE BUDGET, WE'VE SUBMITTED A REQUEST FOR FUNDING FOR LIBERTY PARK PLAYGROUND BECAUSE THAT WILL BE IN SYNC WITH OUR APPLICATION THAT'S PENDING NEXT YEAR.

AND WE'VE ALSO SUBMITTED FOR EXOTIC AND INVASIVE PLANT

REMOVAL. >> AND OUR LAST ACTION ITEM IS CONDUCTING QUARTERLY REVIEW OF THE STATUS OF OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING ACTIVITIES. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE BEEN PROVIDED THE GREAT REPORTS THAT WE GET OUT OF OUR ENVIZIO SOFTWARE. ENVIZIO HAS BEEN A PROGRAM THAT'S HELPED OUR STAFF BE ABLE TO INPUT EVERY SINGLE BIT OF THEIR PROGRESS ON THE ACTION ITEMS. IT'S HELPED US STAY ON TRACK, AND IT'S HELPED US PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME GOOD DETAIL ON OUR ACTION PLANS AND THEIR PROGRESS.

SO PARKLAND IS A UNIQUE COMMUNITY AND IT'S ONE WHERE OUR RESIDENTS AND OUR EMPLOYEES ARE COMMITTED TO HELPING EACH OTHER OUT AND MOVING THE CITY FORWARD. AND I'M SURE THAT YOU'LL SEE FROM THE PROGRESS OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALL TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY.

AND WE ARE VERY COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT FISCAL YEAR 22 IS OFF TO A GOOD START AND WE'RE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT PROVIDING YOU

WITH THOSE RESULTS. >> JACKIE, I'D LIKE TO THANK AND COMMEND MY TEAM FOR ALL OF THEIR HARD WORK IN MAKING THIS STRATEGIC PLAN SUCCESSFUL. THIS WAS A TWO YEAR PLAN BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE STRATEGIC PLANNING DURING COVID.

I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME OF ALL OF THE PROJECTS WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IN THE GRANTS AND ALL OF THE UNIQUE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE.

SO KUDOS TO ALL OF YOU, TO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE PART OF MY TEAM, I APPRECIATE YOU ALL. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT, NANCY. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

AND OBVIOUSLY WANT TO ECHO WHAT NANCY JUST SAID.

WE'VE BEEN VERY BUSY. THE FIELDS AT PINE TRAILS PARK, FOR YEARS WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DRAINAGE THERE, AND THAT'S FINALLY RECTIFIED. FIELD THREE AT TARAMAR, AGAIN WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN SHORT BASEBALL FIELDS AND TO USE AN UNDERUTILIZED FIELD AND TURN THAT INTO TWO FIELDS WILL OBVIOUSLY HELP WITH THE SCHEDULING.

THE COUNTRY CLUB I THINK IS COMING ALONG NICELY.

YOU GET SOME PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE ROUNDABOUTS, PERSONALLY I THINK THEY'RE GREAT. BUT YOU'LL ALWAYS GET PEOPLE WHO ARE SKEPTICAL ABOUT THOSE. THE GRANT, $1.5 MILLION GRANT WE GOT THIS YEAR IS OUT OF THIS WORLD.

IT'S ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

ALSO COMMUNICATIONS, I THINK WE'RE DOING A MUCH BETTER JOB COMMUNICATING WITH OUR RESIDENTS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, THROUGH EMAILS AND JUST OUR COMMUNICATION AS A COMMISSION BECAUSE THAT'S A BIG PART OF OUR JOB IS TO DO THAT AND OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS ARE PROVIDING US WITH THE INFORMATION THAT WE CAN RELAY TO OUR RESIDENTS. SO FANTASTIC PRESENTATION.

VERY HAPPY WITH WHERE WE'RE GOING AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT FEW YEARS. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS

OR ANYTHING? >> I'LL JUST SAY I WAS ACTUALLY AT A LUNCH TODAY FOR WORK. AND I HAD PEOPLE ACTUALLY COMPLIMENTING ME ON THE CITY OF PARKLAND WHICH SOUNDS CRAZY COMING FROM ANOTHER CITY, BUT THEY HAD ALL HEARD VERY GOOD THINGS ABOUT OUR STAFF AND OUR COMMISSION AND HOW WELL WE ALL WORK TOGETHER. AND I THINK IN THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN OTHER CITIES, AS MUCH AS THAT SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULDN'T BE A BIG DEAL, IT'S A BIG DEAL.

SO I COMMEND ALL OF THE CITY STAFF.

THE WORK YOU GUYS PUT IN IS INCREDIBLE.

FOR AN OTHERWSE RELATIVELY SMALL CITY, WE REALLY HOLD OUR OWN. SO THANK YOU GUYS.

>> THANK YOU. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A SNAPSHOT OF WHAT'S HERE IN STRATEGIC PLANNING. THERE IS OTHER WORK THAT GOES ON CONTINUOUSLY THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS.

THE OTHER PART WHICH I APPRECIATE IS THE FACT THAT WE'RE JUST GOING TO LOOK AT THE TIMELINE OF YEAR TO YEAR, NOT NECESSARILY THERE MAY BE A PROJECT THAT MAY TAKE THREE YEARS TO COMPLETE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT IT FROM A YEAR TO SEE IF WE'RE ON THE MARK. I MEAN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I BRING OUT AND THE PLAYGROUND, I THINK THAT'S FOUR YEARS IN THE MAKING. WE INITIALLY HAD IT AND WE DELAYED IT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO INCLUDE IT IN THE PARKS MASTER PLAN, THEN WE HAD COVID, THEN THERE WAS DELAYS IN GETTING

[00:45:05]

AGAIN THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AS FAR AS WHAT WE DO, HOW WE ACHIEVE IT. SOMETIMES AGAIN THERE MAY BE THINGS THAT WE'RE ONLY 15% DONE WITH AND IT MAY BE ALMOST THE 3RD QUARTER, BUT THE REST OF THE WORK GETS DONE IN THE LAST PART OF QUARTER. SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING JUST BE MINDFUL OF THAT IT MAY LOOK LIKE WE'RE NOT PROGRESSING, BUT WE REALLY ARE. SO KUDOS TO STAFF.

GREAT JOB. >> COMMISSIONER BRIER.

I WANT TO ECHO THOSE COMMENTS. A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE CITY DON'T APPRECIATE, NOT BECAUSE THEY DON'T APPRECIATE, BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT GOES ON INTO THESE THINGS AND SO I WANT TO THANK THE STAFF AND NANCY FOR ALL OF THEIR HARD WORK. I THINK WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF PROJECTS GOING ON IN THE CITY RIGHT NOW.

AND AS THE VICE MAYOR SAID, FORMER VICE MAYOR, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME OF THOSE THINGS COME TO FRUITION AT THE SAME TIME.

WE'VE GOT THE COVERED BRIDGE PARK GOING ON.

WE'VE GOT THE ROUNDABOUT. WE'VE GOT A BUNCH OF OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING ON AND THERE WILL BE NEW ONES COMING DOWN THE PIKE. BUT I THINK THAT THE CITIZENS WILL BENEFIT FROM ALL OF THOSE AND WILL SEE THE RESULTS OF THOSE SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO DIALOGUE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THESE PROJECTS IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

>> VICE MAYOR. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I'LL JUST REITERATE MY THANKS TO THE STAFF AS WELL.

I WILL SAY THAT THE GREAT PART ABOUT ENVIZIO AND THE WAY THAT YOU'VE SORT OF UTILIZED IT IN YOUR DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR STRATEGIC PLAN IS MOVING FORWARD REALLY HELPS EVERYBODY SEE EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON AND MAKE SURE THAT THOSE THINGS THAT WE AS A COMMISSION HAVE TRIED TO PUT TOGETHER AS PLANS FOR NOT JUST OUR DAY-TO-DAY STUFF, BUT FOR OUR FUTURE WILL ACTUALLY COME TO FRUITION AT SOME POINT IN TIME.

SO I WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR INITIATING THAT, INSTITUTING IT, AND DOING IT SO DAMN WELL. THANK YOU.

>> GREAT. THANK YOU.

I MEAN JUST ONE LAST THING, THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO MEASURE THE JOB THAT YOU'RE DOING. SO OBVIOUSLY, NANCY, BEING THE CEO OF THE CITY, YOU'RE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. SO WITH THAT, WE'LL GO TO ITEM

C. >> ITEM 7C, RESOLUTION 2021-081, CITY EQUIPMENT PURCHASES-PIGGYBACK.

AUTHORIZING THE PIGGYBACK OF MULTIPLE CONTRACTS FOR CITY EQUIPMENT PURCHASES IN THE AMOUNT OF $730,410 TO PALMETTO FORD TRUCK SALES, HECTOR TURF, EVERGLADES EQUIPMENT GROUP, AND DOBBS EQUIPMENT PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

>> THIS IS AN EXCITING ONE BECAUSE THIS TIES INTO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN WE HELD BACK IN APRIL FOR OUR LEVEL ONE AND LEVEL TWO EQUIPMENT PURCHASES FOR TARAMARA PINE TRAILS PARK.

THIS WILL BE USED TO INCREASE OUR LEVELS OF SERVICE.

OUR FIELD MAINTENANCE TEAM USES THIS EXTRA EQUIPMENT TO KEEP OUR FIELDS IN THE BEST SHAPE POSSIBLE FOR WHAT WE HAVE.

>> GREAT AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS SOMETHING WE PLANNED ON IN STRATEGIC PLANNING THE. THIS WAS BUDGETED FOR SO THIS IS JUST ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THOSE BUDGET FUNDS BEING SPEND ON SOMETHING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THROUGH STRATEGIC PLANNING.

>> FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU FOR WALKING ME THROUGH THE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. BUT I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT AGAIN WHEN WE WENT THROUGH STRATEGIC PLANNING AND WE LOOKED TO ENHANCE THE LEVEL OF CALL IT SERVICE, NOT ONLY WAS IT ENHANCEMENTS TO THE PARKS, BUT AGAIN UTILIZING THIS EQUIPMENT IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE AN ENHANCEMENT TO THE FIELDS AND MAINTENANCE OF THE FIELDS. I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH RYAN TODAY ABOUT WE'RE GETTING A MOWER AND I SAID DON'T WE HAVE ONE. HE SAID THE MOWER THAT WE GET IS MORE SPECIFIC TO HELPING GENERATE THE MAINTENANCE OF THE FIELD, THE QUALITY OF THE FIELD VERSUS WHATEVER YOU MIGHT HAVE.

[00:50:06]

I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT THING JUST SO THE RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND THAT MORE SO THAN JUST LOOKING TO SPEND DOLLARS, WE'RE BUYING EQUIPMENT THAT IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE AN UPGRADE OF WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

>> I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE STAFF.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME WE'VE SEEN SOMETHING COME IN UNDER BUDGET. I'M GLAD TO SEE WE'RE NOT OVER

SO THANKS FOR THE WORK ON THAT. >> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? SEEING AS THERE'S NONE.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF PARKLAND TO JOIN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND OTHER LOCAL GOVERNME GOVERNMENTS UNITS AS A PARTICIPANT IN THE FLORIDA MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND FORMAL AGREEMENTS IMPLEMENTING A UNIFIED PLAN CONCERNING THE OPIOID LITIGATION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXCOOTS THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING.

-- EXECUTE THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING.

THE CITY IS NOT CURRENTLY A PARTICIPATING LITIGANT IN THOSE LAWSUITS, HOWEVER THE STATE OF FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS BEEN PUSHING FOR CITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PLAN WHICH SETS FORTH THE FRAMEWORK FOR POTENTIAL DISTRIBUTION OF SETTLEMENT FROM THE LITIGATION. EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE NOT A PARTICIPATING LITIGANT, YOU CAN SHARE IN THOSE PROCEEDS.

ONE THE MORE CITIES THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, THE MORE MONEY THAT GOES TO THE STATE FUND VERSUS LET'S SAY GEORGIA. AND THE SECOND ONE IS YOU CAN GET A DIRECT ALLOCATION FROM THE SETTLEMENT EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT A

[00:55:04]

YOU CAN'T USE IT FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT, THERE'S A NUMBER OF APPROVED USES. BUT THEY ALL RELATE TO THE OPIOID USE EPIDEMIC AND PROVIDING SUPPORT TO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT THAT. SO REALLY NO DOUBTS.

>> OKAY. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? SEEING AS THERE'S NONE.

>> JUST ONE THING BEFORE I GUESS I MAKE A MOTION.

THE SETTLEMENT ALLOCATIONS WE COULD POTENTIALLY RECEIVE, I KNOW IT'S NOT A LOT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET STAFF TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT JUST HAVE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS COME BACK TO US FOR FINAL APPROVAL. WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF HUMAN SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE, BUT I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS WHETHER IT GOES TO A NONPROFIT OR TO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THAT WE AT LEAST WEIGH IN TO THAT CONVERSATION. THE OTHER THING WHICH DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RESOLUTION, BUT JUST SENDING ALSO A COPY TO THE BROWARD LEAGUE OF CITIES AS WELL TO POSSIBLY ENCOURAGE OTHER CITIES.

>> BEFORE WE DO ANY KIND OF MOTIONS, ARE THERE ANY DOWNSIDES THAT YOU SEE IN THIS PROCESS WITH THE CITY AGREEING TO BE A

PART OF THIS? >> YOU WANT TO MAKE THE MOTION

SINCE YOU HAD A GOOD IDEA? >> I'LL MAKE A MOTION WITH MY GOOD IDEA. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE WITH THE ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ANY --

>> YOU SAID I HAVE TO GO TO PUBLIC.

I DID GO TO PUBLIC, GO AHEAD AND FINISH YOUR MOTION, I'LL GO BACK

TO PUBLIC. >> ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DISTRIBUTION OF ALLOCATION OF ANY PROCEEDS WE RECEIVE COME BACK TO THE COMMISSION AS WELL AS THE COPY TO THE BROWARD

LEAGUE OF CITIES. >> SECOND.

[8. Comments by the Broward Sheriff's Office]

>> VICE MAYOR CUTLER. >> YES.

>> MAYOR WALKER. >> YES.

SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. COMMENTS BY THE BROWARD COUNTY

SHERIFF'S OFFICE. >> NO SIGNIFICANT TRENDS TO DISCUSS. WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON THE VICE MAYORSHIP. WHAT WE CONSTANTLY HEAR ONE ON ONE WITH OUR GUYS, YOU GUYS COMPLIMENTING AND SUPPORTING THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, FIRE DEPARTMENT, JUST WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THAT. SOMETIMES IT KIND OF GOES ONE WAY BUT EVERY DEPUTY IN THE CITY KNOWS THE SUPPORT FROM THE COMMISSION, FROM THE CITY MANAGER, WE ARE TRULY BLESSED.

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

OTHER THAN THAT WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO BE INVOLVED IN A LOT OF THE EVENTS. IT'S BEEN BUSY.

THIS IS WHAT PARKLAND IS ALL ABOUT.

THE SATURDAY, SUNDAY, THE FARMERS MARKET WAS JUST NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED THAT DAY. THE ONLY THING I WOULD ASK IS FOR PEOPLE TO BE PATIENT WITH A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

WE HAD SOME PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING TO THEIR HOMES.

WE MAY BE TRYING SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT WITH THE TRAFFIC FLOW ON SUNDAY. IT MAY WORK, IT MAY NOT, BUT WE'RE TRYING. WITH THAT, ANY QUESTIONS?

>> VICE MAYOR. >> THERE WAS AN EMAIL WE RECEIVED ABOUT SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENTS HAVING ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE CARS BACKING UP AND BRINGING THEIR KIDS IN AND

[01:00:04]

STAYING IN THE SPACE. >> YES, WE'VE ADDRESSED THAT.

IN DROP OFF AND PICK UP MOVING PEOPLE ALONG.

I'VE PERSONALLY SPOKEN WITH THE PEOPLE WHO SENT THE EMAILS.

THEY'RE RIGHT. SO IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR TEN YEARS, IT'S JUST WITH THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST GOTTEN WORSE AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY BLOCKING ENTRANCES.

WE'RE AWARE OF IT. WE HAVE OUR DEPUTIES OUT THERE EDUCATING BECAUSE THAT'S THE FIRST THING WE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO. WE'VE HAD LITTLE TO NO RESISTANCE. MOST PARENTS SAY IT WAS A GOOD RUN, WE'LL FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO PICK UP OUR KIDS.

>> I'M ASKING SO THAT WE CAN ADDRESS IT PUBLICLY.

>> YES. >> SO THAT PARTICULAR MESSAGE

GETS OUT THERE. >> PEOPLE WERE KIND OF PARKING AND THEY ARE. YOU THINK IT'S COMMON SENSE, BUT YOU'RE THERE TO PICK UP YOUR KIDS, I'M ONLY GOING TO BE A SECOND WHICH TURNS INTO A MINUTE WHICH TURNS INTO FIVE MINUTES, AND THEN THE NEXT PERSON IS GOING TO PARK.

SO WE'RE ASKING PEOPLE TO BEAR WITH US.

WE'RE ASKING YOU TO MOVE NOT BECAUSE WE WANT TO, NOT BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE MEAN, BECAUSE IT CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE WITH CARS PULLING OUT. THEY CAN'T SEE APPROACHING CARS, PLUS THEY WERE BLOCKING THE ACTUAL ENTRANCE.

>> CAN YOU ADD ABOUT YOUR GAME PLAN AS FAR AS HOW TO ROLL THAT

OUT WITH WARNINGS? >> WITH THE WARNINGS OUT AT THAT SCHOOL, WE HAD A DEPUTY THERE. WE ALWAYS START WITH EDUCATION.

WE STOP, SPEAK TO THEM, EXPLAIN TO THEM.

BEYOND EDUCATION WE GO INTO A WARNING PHASE WHERE WE START WARNING. SOMETIMES THEY'RE WRITTEN WARNINGS. ULTIMATELY WE HAVEN'T HAD TO GET TO THE PHASE OF CITATIONS BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE GET IT, THEY LISTEN. WHEN YOU EXPLAIN TO THEM, YES IT'S MORE CONVENIENT FOR YOU HERE, BUT IF YOU LIVE THERE, WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF YOUR COMMUNITY.

THE SECRET IS ONCE WE'VE GOT IT CLEARED UP, IT MAY CONTINUE

ENFORCEMENT WHICH WE WILL DO. >> THANK YOU.

>> YOU GUYS ARE STILL DOING VACATION WATCH, CORRECT?

>> YES. >> CAN YOU JUST PUT SOMETHING OUT THERE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FAMILIES, I KNOW SCHOOL IS CLOSED THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING.

THERE MAY BE FAMILIES THAT MAY ELECT TO LEAVE SO JUST PUT IT OUT THERE WHETHER OR NOT NANCY COPIED THEIR INFORMATION OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE JUST TO LET FAMILIES KNOW THAT IF THEY ARE STARTING TO LEAVE TOWN FOR THANKSGIVING.

>> THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. >> AND THEN I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR I KNOW SOMERSET CHARTER SCHOOL, WE'RE HAVING QUITE A BIT OF TRAFFIC ISSUES. I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS STEPPING

UP ON THAT. >> WE'RE MEETING WITH THEM.

THE SCHOOL IS WORKING WITH US. WE'RE WORKING ON FINDING A

[9. Comments by the Coral Springs/Parkland Fire Department]

SOLUTION. >> AWESOME.

VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? COMMENTS BY CORAL SPRINGS

PARKLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT? >> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, WE RAN A TOTAL OF 235 INCIDENTS OUT OF WHICH 166 WERE FIRE AND EMS RELATED.

OF THE FIRE AND EMS COMBINATION, 166 OF THEM WERE ALL EMS, SO THERE WERE NO FIRES IN THE CITY IN THE LAST MONTH.

WE'RE HAPPY ABOUT THAT. WE CONTINUE TO WATCH COVID.

THE NUMBERS ARE CONTINUALLY GOING DOWN.

THERE STILL IS A TESTING SITE OUT AT SPORTSPLEX.

I WENT OUT THERE LAST WEEK AND THE PLACE IS EMPTY.

SO WE WILL ENCOURAGE YOUR RESIDENTS AS WELL IF THEY AREN'T FEELING WELL, IF THEY WANT TO UTILIZE THE TESTING SITE, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAIT THERE. THEY DO TAKE WALK UPS.

EVEN THOUGH THEY TAKE WALK UPS, YOU HAVE TO SCAN THE QR CODE AND TRYING TO FILL OUT THE CODE ON THE PHONE IS KIND OF HARD.

WE RECOMMEND THAT THEY GO TO THE WEBSITE AND PREREGISTER NOT BECAUSE THERE'S A WAIT, JUST BECAUSE IT'S EASIER TO FILL OUT ON A BIGGER DEVICE. WE'RE STILL DOING THE REGENERON PROGRAM FOR ANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES THAT MAY BE GETTING ILL.

WE'VE HAD TO GIVE A FEW TO SOME OF OUR MEMBERS AND IT HAS BEEN VERY GOOD IN ASSISTING IN THEIR RECOVERY TIMES.

WE'RE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THAT PROGRAM. AND FINALLY AS THE HOLIDAYS ARE APPROACHING, WE HAVE NEXT MONTH TO TALK ABOUT MORE DETAILS.

BUT WE ARE REDEVELOPING OUR SANTA DRIVE THROUGH PROGRAM THROUGH OUR CITIES. WE ARE TRYING TO STILL BE COVID FRIENDLY, HOWEVER WE STILL WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROGRAM IS IN TACT BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SUCH A GREAT PROGRAM OVER THE YEARS.

SO WE'RE THINKING ABOUT REDESIGNING IT.

AND IN THE REDESIGN WILL BE THE ABILITY TO REACH MORE FAMILIES INSTEAD OF LESS. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE DOING IT IN A PARK SETTING OR SOME OTHER SETTING.

WE WILL STILL HAVE THE FIRE TRUCKS AND THE PARADE AND MAKE A

[01:05:03]

[10. Comments by the City Manager]

SPEAK. >> GREAT.

THANK YOU. ANYBODY?

COMMENTS BY THE CITY MANAGER. >> AS YOU MENTIONED OUR FIRST FARMERS MARKET WAS OUR LARGEST WE HAVE HAD IN OUR HISTORY.

SO HISTORICALLY WHAT MY PARKS AND REC DIRECTOR TELLS ME IS THE SECOND ONE WILL EVEN BE BUSIER. WE DO HAVE THE CRAFT FAIR.

SO OF COURSE WE MET AND DISCUSSED WITH BSO SOME TACTICS TO HELP MOVE THE TRAFFIC THROUGH.

BUT I'D LIKE TO MAKE A SUGGESTION TO ANY RESIDENTS THAT ARE LISTENING THAT ANOTHER GREAT OPTION IS TO PARK AT CITY HALL.

THE LIBRARY, THERE'S A WALKING PATH BY THE PARK, BY LIBERTY PARK, YOU CAN GO STRAIGHT DOWN AND RIGHT INTO THE FARMERS MARKET. I'VE DONE IT IN THE PAST AND THIS WAY YOU'RE AVOIDING ALL TRAFFIC.

THERE'S NO TRAFFIC ON UNIVERSITY IN THAT AREA.

AND HOLBERG DOES GET BACKED UP BUT NOT THAT FAR.

SO IT WOULD BE AN EASY WAY FOR IN AND OUT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED

[11. Comments by the City Attorney Adjournment]

RECOMMENDATION. >> THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

COMMENTS BY THE CITY ATTORNEY? >> NO COMMENTS
