[00:05:05]

REPRESENTING THE RESIDENTS HERE. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE, COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? WE WILL MOVE TO THE COMMISSIONEN COMMISSIONER BRIER, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS TODAY?

>> NO, MAYOR. COMMISSIONER ISROW.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. A COUPLE OF THINGS.

ONE IS THE STRATEGIC PLANNING. WE ARE COMING UP ON THAT TIME IN OUR CITY WHERE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US TO PUT OUR BRAIN POWER TO USE AND COMING UP WITH IDEAS AND HOPEFULLY VISIONS FOR WHAT WE WANT THE FUTURE DEPARTMENT TO LOOK LIKE, FEEL LIKE, WHAT IS MISSING THAT WE COULD ADD.

WHAT IS IT THAT WE HAVE THAT WE COULD IMPROVE UPON I WOULD ASK FOR ANYONE TO PLEASE REACH OUT TO US.

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS. WHILE WE HAVE OUR OWN.

I THINK IT'S HELPFUL TO HAVE AS MUCH INFORMATION AND THOUGHTS AS POSSIBLE TO KIND OF WORK WITH THE MOST MATERIAL.

SO, PLEASE, TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY.

TAKE THE TIME. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LONG.

SEND US A SHORT E-MAIL. ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT. CALL US, OUR NUMBERS ARE ALL AVAILABLE. I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT THING TO PUT OUT THERE. SECOND TO THAT, WITH WHAT IS GOING ON IN UKRAINE RIGHT NOW, I WOULD ASK EVERYONE TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO DONATE, WHETHER IT'S MONEY, FOOD, RESOURCES.

THERE WAS A NUMBER OF CHARITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS DOING A GREAT JOB AND GREAT WORK TRYING TO GET WHAT IS NEEDED OVER THERE.

JUST PRAY FOR THEM. I THINK RIGHT NOW THE FACT WE ARE SITTING HERE WATCHIG THIS IN RESPECT IS A VERY SURREAL THING. THERE IS MUCH I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD.

WE ARE WAY TOO INTERCONNECTED THESE DAYS ON IGNORE SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR ALL OF US.

THAT'S MY COMMENTS FOR THE NIGHT.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COMMISSIONER ISROW.

COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANT TO SAY.

FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR THE GREAT STORY WALK THEY HAD LAST WEEK. MICHAEL A. WOODWARD, JR., NOT HAD HIS STORIES FEATURED ON THE STORY WALK AT THE PARK, BUT HE READ "FOREVER A SCHOLAR." MICHAEL'S PASSION POUR READING AND WRITING IS SELF-EVIDENT AND ALSO FULFILLING THE CULTURAL IN LITERACY. ONE OF THE THINGS I FOUND HUMBLING WAS WHEN HE CAME TO PARKLAND AND FOWD WE HAD PURCHASED SOME OF THESE BOOKS TO PUT IN CIRCULATION, HE SAW THE STAMP THAT SAID "CITY OF PARKLAND." , HE WAS FLOORED. GREAT JOB TO THE STAFF OUT AT THE LIBRARY FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, AS WELL AS FOR HIM COORDINATING THIS. AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS TO PARKLAND FOR A GREAT YEAR. WATCHING THE SMILE ON THOSE KIDS' FACES AND ACKNOWLEDGING THE WORK THAT THE BOARD DOES.

IT'S A LOT OF KIDS. BETWEEN COACHING AND WHATEVER, AS VOLUNTEERS, IT'S A TREMENDOUS THING.

CONGRATULATIONS FOR THEM. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE OPENING OF PARKLAND SOFTBALL. A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION PUT ITSELF TOGETHER. HOPING THAT THE FIELD WILL BE READY SOON. THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

I THINK THEY ARE READY TO GET SOME USE OUT OF THEM.

SAME THING OPENING THE CHALLENGER BASEBALL.

WATCHING THE SMILE ON THOSE KIDS' FACES IS PRECIOUS.

THANKS FOR THAT. ALSO I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHAMBER TODAY, THE PAST PRESIDENT ACKNOWLEDGED FOR HER WORK. SHE WILL STILL BE ON THE CHAMBER. BUT ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK SHE HAS DONE AS A CHAMBER MEMBER. I JUST WANT TO UPDATE EVERYBODY JUST A LITTLE BIT ON THE WORK GROUP.

APRIL 1ST IS THE -- MEMBERS AND ALTERNATES TO REVIEW THE LOCAL AGREEMENT. TODAY WE TOOK A STEP BACK, BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME CONCERN REGARDING THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS OF THE COUNTY, WHICH, AGAIN, NEEDED TO BE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AND WORKED THROUGH AND WHAT CONTROLLING INTEREST THE COUNTY WILL HAVE AS OBLIGATIONS VERSUS THE I.L.A.

THAT WAS A LITTLE STEP-BACK. A LITTLE SURPRISE.

I THINK WE WILL WORK THROUGH IT. ALSO I WANT TO WISH GOOD LUCK TO PARKLAND CARES TOMORROW. THEY ARE A FINALIST FOR THE MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION OF THE YEAR.

[00:10:02]

THE ONE OTHER THING I ALSO WANT TO MENTION, AT THE LAST MEETING, WE HAD A MOTION TO TABLE THE SMOKING BILL.

IT WASN'T REALLY IDENTIFIED. IT WAS MARKED.

AT THIS POINT, JUST BEFORE I LEFT TO COME HERE, THE SENATE WAS TAKING ON THE HOUSE BILL. THEY ENDED UP POSTPONING IT.

THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING THE HOUSE BILL OFF THE BAT. BANNING ALL SMOKING EXCEPT FOR UNFILTERED CIGARS. THERE WAS SOME ISSUE AND QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN UNFILTERED DISAR AND UNFILTERED CIGARETTE. THEY WILL HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THE ISSUES. I WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW.

IN MARCH WHEN WE COME BACK I WANT TO BRING THAT UP FOR DISCUSSION AND HOW TO PROCEED WITH THE DISCUSSION.

WHETHER THE GOVERNOR OR NOT HAS SIGNED IT ABOUT SMOKING.

>> GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU TOOK A LOT ABOUT WHAT HE WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT.

VICE MAYOR CUTLER? >> THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE LAST. RUSSIAN MISSILES BOMBARD UKRAINE AND TARGET CIVILIANS AND BUILDINGS.

I AM STANDING IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE OVER WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE. IF YOU THINK IT'S FAR AWAY.

JORDAN MENTIONED, IT DIDN'T HAVE AN IMPACT ON US LOCALLY.

I'LL REMIND NEW 2019, PRIOR TO ELECTIONS OFFICIALS IN THE ELECTIONS OFFICES MAIN E-MAIL ACCOUNT WERE SENT FBIING E-MAILS. THE ATTEMPTS WERE PART OF A STATE-WIDE ATTEMPT TO HACK ELECTION SYSTEMS IN FLORIDA.

COORDINATING TO THE REPORT RELEASED BY THE SPECIAL COUNCIL ON RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN THE ELECTION, IT NOTED THAT THE FBI FOUND SOME 140 ELECTIONS OFFICIALS WERE SENT E-MAILS FROM RUSSIAN HACKERS PRETENDING TO BE VA SYSTEMS, A SYSTEM THAT CONTRACTS WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE COUNTY.

IT'S RARE I PERSONALLY AGREE WITH SENATOR RICK SCOTT ON ANYTHING. BUT I AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT THEY PUT OUT ON THE RUSSIAN ISSUE.

AMERICA MUST ALWAYS UNAPOLOGIZELY STAND ON THE SIDE OF FREEDOM AND SUPPORT THE WORLD'S DEMOCRACIES AND AGAINST THROATS POSED BY TYRANNY. PUTINS UNJUSTIFIABLE AND LAWFUL INVASION OF UKRAINE VIOLATED THE SOVEREIGNTY OF A FREE COMPANY AND AN AMERICAN PARTNER. NO LOBBYIST SHOULD BE WORKING ON BEHALF OF PUTIN'S EVIL REGIME OR THOSE SPORTING IT AND NO BUSINESS SHOULD CONTINUE DOING BUSINESS WITH RUSSIAN ORGANIZATIONS. GOVERNMENT AT EVERY LEVEL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN HAS A ROLE TO PLAY IN FIGHTING AGAINST RUSSIAN'S TYRANNY.

WE SHOULD BE CLEAR HERE. THE MANY HARD-WORKING RUSSIAN AMERICAN PEOPLE LIVING AND RAISING FAMILIES ACROSS OUR NATION ARE NOT TO BLAME FOR PUTIN'S EVE EVENLY WAR.

NOW IS THE TIME TO COME TOGETHER.

AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IS NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER.

TAKING THESE STEPS IS NOW WE AS A NATION STAND UP AGAINST THAT EVIL. UNTIL THIS CONFLICT IS OVER, SUPPORTING UKRAINE AND MAKING THIS HORRIFIC WAR AS PAINFUL AS POSSIBLE FOR PUTIN MUST BE OUR TOP FOCUS.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE EVERY ACTION POSSIBLE TO END RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENTS OF BOTH THE FEDERAL AND LOCAL LEVEL. AS WELL AS WITH RUSSIAN-OWNED BUSINESSES. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY SUCH TIES TO GOVERNMENT RUSSIAN-OWNED BUSINESSES IN THE PARKLAND AREA BUT I BELIEVE WE SHOULD FOLLOW THIS MANDATE.

AS HAS BOWRD COUNTY. THEY COLLECTED THE AUDITOR TO REVIEW TO MAKE SURE WE FOLLOW ALL FEDERAL SANCTIONS AND CONFORM THAT THE COUNTY IS NOT DEALING WITH RUSSIAN COMPANIES AND SO SHOULD WE IN PARKLAND. MY GRANDPARENTS FAMILY CAME FROM TOWNS THAT ARE NOW IN THE UKRAINE.

I HAVE COUSINS IN ROMANIA WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK TO HELP FIND AND AID HUNDREDS OF REFUGEES FLEEING THE VIOLENCE PERPETRATED ON THE PEOPLE. THEY HAVE SEEN FIRST HAND THE DEVASTATION THIS WAR IS GOING TO PEOPLE WHO WERE LIVING ORDINARY LIVES, JUST LIKE WE ARE. AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD PASS A RESOLUTION OF SOLIDARITY AND CONTINUE FIGHT TO STAND UP AGAINST THE UKRAINE. AT THE SAME TIME I CALL UPON OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO DO WHAT WE CAN AT EVERY LEVEL TO LET RUSSIA KNOW PUTIN'S WAR MUST STOP. UNDERSTANDING IN THE DAYS AND WEEKS AHEAD WE MAY HAVE TO TIGHTEN OUR BELTS.

WE MAY SEE THE PRIZE OF GAS GO UP.

THE NEWS IS DISTRESSING TO THE POINT OF BEING ANNOYING.

[00:15:03]

I WAS GOING TO SAY SOME OF THE SAME THINGS BOB SAID ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND SOME OF THOSE SAME THINGS, SOCCER AND SOFTBALL AND CHALLENGER BASEBALL.

I WANT TO CONGRATULATE AND WISH GOOD LUCK TO OVER 200 STUDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO THE STATE COMPETITION TOMORROW FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL. MY LAB PARTNER AND I WENT TO PRACTICE SESSIONS LAST WEEK AS JUDGES.

THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY THE MSD DRAMA STUDENTS WILL PUT ON A PERFORMANCE OF THE MUSICAL PLAY "SOMETHING ROTTEN." IT IS DESCRIBED AS TWO BROTHERS SET OUT TO WRITE THE FIRST MUSICAL IN THIS MATCHUP OF 16TH CENTURY.

SHAKESPEARE AND 20TH CENTURY BROADWAY.

AND THEN, THE LAST THING I WANTED TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW, THAT, AS WE TALKED ABOUT SOCCER, THIS IS A HE REMINDER THERE IS A SELECTION OF LIFE AT 2:00 P.M. AT THE AMPHITHEATER AS WELL AS A DEDICATION OF THE PARK.

THEY WERE PINE TREE RESIDENTS SINCE 1980.

PETE STARTED THE PARKLAND SOCCER CLUB IN 1987 AND FOR CHILDREN, WHO WANTED TO PLAY THE SUPPORT. IT HAS GROWN TO INCLUDE 1400 PLAYERS. HE USED TO TELL STORIES ABOUT THE KIDS RUNNING AROUND ANT PILES AND COW PATTIES AND USE LIGHTS FROM THE CARS TO PLAY AFTER DARK.

PETE CREATED A VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHILE PROMOTING SAFETY AND SPORTSMANSHIP. HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST APPOINTMENTS TO THE NEWLY FORMED PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD IN 1990. ACCORDING TO A STATEMENT FROM PARKLAND SOCCER CLUB, WE LOST THE PIONEERS AND FOUNDERS OF PARKLAND SOCCER. THEY ARE TRULY MISSED BUT THEIR

LEGACY LIVES ON. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

KEN. I APPRECIATE YOU MENTIONING ABOUT PETE. BEING ON THE SOCCER BOARD, WE THIS YEAR WE HAD JUST UNDER 1500 KIDS IN OUR PROGRAM.

120 TEAMS. PETE AND HIS WIFE LINDA STARTED THAT LEAGUE MANY, MANY YEARS AGO.

THE LEAGUE IS THRIVING. TREMENDOUSLY.

SATURDAY WAS A GREAT -- PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST PICNICS THAT WE SAW. PEOPLE WERE TELLING ME, HOW COME WE DIDN'T GET INVITED TO THAT EVENT? IF YOU HAD KIDS PLAYING SOCCER, YOU WOULD HAVE GOT INVITED.

THE SOCCER BOARD, ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS, WE TALK ABOUT SOFT BALL, OPENING DAY, CHALLENGER OPENING DAY.

THIS WEEKEND, LITTLE LEAGUE OPENING DAY.

WE HAVE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF VOLUNTEERS THROUGHOUT THIS COMMUNITY THAT GIVE THEIR TIME AND THEIR DEDICATION TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY TO HELP OUR YOUTH. TO HELP ALL AGES.

IT'S AMAZING HOW MUCH OUR CITY DOES FOR EACH OTHER.

IT'S A WONDERFUL FEELING. THIS WEEKEND COULDN'T HAVE MADE ME FEEL MORE PROUD TO BE A PARKLAND RESIDENT.

THE MAYOR OF PARKLAND, THAN THIS WEEKEND.

TO HAVE ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT EVENTS.

SEE ALL THE VOLUNTEERS THAT WE HAVE.

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. THE COMMISSIONER BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT ABOUT PLANNING. IT'S IMPORTANT, ALONG WITH VOLUNTEERING. IT'S IMPORTANT TO VOLUNTEER.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ENGAGED IN THE COMMUNITY.

WE'RE ACCESSIBLE ALL THE TIME. ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, REACH OUT TO US. LET US KNOW.

WE CAN ONLY HELP IMPROVE OUR CITY WHEN WE KNOW WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR. WHAT THEIR WANTS AND NEEDS ARE.

WE DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE WE ARE AT EVERY EVENT.

WE HAD RIBBON CUTTINGS AT THE PARKLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

THEY ARE VERY INVOLVED. TODAY'S EVENT WAS FANTASTIC, YOU KNOW, TO ACKNOWLEDGE NICOLE ROMAN'S WORK WITH THE CHAMBER AND NOW WE ARE BRINGING IN SMALL BUSINESS.

MAKING SURE THEY ARE INCLUDED. EVERYWHERE YOU TURN, YOU SEE THE RESIDENTS OF PARKLAND LOOKING FOR POSITIVE CHANGE.

AND THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I THINK WE HAVE.

ENGAGEMENT NEEDS TO BE -- WE ARE ALL UP HERE BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE PARKLAND BETTER. WE MAY NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH EACH OTHER OR AGREE WITH THE RESIDENTS.

[00:20:01]

LOOK, THESE ARE MY CONCERNS. THESE ARE MY PROBLEMS. ME, WE ARE ALL VERY SIMILAR. IT'S NOT OUR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY.

WE WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.

WE HAVE OPEN MINDS. I'M APT TO ALWAYS CHANGE MY MIND IF THE ARGUMENT MAKES SENSE AND ENOUGH PEOPLE WANT TO DO IT.

I'M HERE TO SERVE THE RESIDENTS OF PARKLAND.

I'M NOT HERE TO SERVE MYSELF. THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SAY ON THE VOLUNTEERS. I DO OBVIOUSLY WANT TO MENTION COUNTRY A LITTLE BIT. MY WIFE HAS HER GRANDPARENTS WITHIN THE UKRAINE. SHE STILL HAS FAMILY THERE.

COUSINS AND UNCLES. IT'S HARD FOR HER AND HER FAMILY TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AND TO HEAR THOSE THINGSEN LET ME TELL YOU. PRESIDENT ZELENSKY COULD NOT FIND A STRONGER MAN A PERSON WILLING TO TAKE THE HEAT AND DO EVERYTHING HE CAN FOR THESE PEOPLE.

IT'S REALLY AMAZING TO SEE WHAT HE IS DOING AND HOW HE IS BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER. AND HOW, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW HE FEELS ALONE. OBVIOUSLY SOME COUNTRIES ARE -- WE'RE HELPING HIM. OBVIOUSLY HE WANTS MORE HELP BECAUSE HE IS IN DIRE STRAITS RIGHT NOW.

WITH HIS LEADERSHIP, THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE WILL PREVAIL.

IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME. HE IS JUST AMAZING TO WATCH.

COMING FROM SOMEONE IN A LEADERSHIP ROLE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHO -- TO SEE SOMEBODY JUST STEP UP AND SAY "GIVE IT TO ME, I'M READY TO TAKE WHATEVER YOU HAVE AND I'LL GIVE IT BACK TO YOU TENFOLD." TO SEE HE THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. WITH THAT WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET THIS MEETING STARTED. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA.

[7. Approval of the Agenda]

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> THANK YOU.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN.

AND A SECOND BY VICE MAYOR CUTLER.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OPPOSED? SHOW HE IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

WE HAVE NO CONSENT AGENDA TONIGHT.

[9. Regular Agenda]

ANTHONY, TAKE IT AWAY. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

ANTHONY, ATTORNEY FOR THE RECORD.

THE FIRST ITEM IS TE 9-5, ORDINANCE 2022-001 ENGINEERING CODE UPDATES, FIRST READING. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION AMENDING ARTICLE 75, COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD STANDARDS. OFF STREET PARKING AND LOADING.

ARTICLE 135, ENGINEERING STANDARDSING AND ARTICLE 145 PERMITS FEES AND BONDS TO MODIFY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, DRAINAGE YOU KNOW AND OTHER LAND DEVELOPMENT RELATED REGULATIONS PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND AN

EFFECTIVE DATE. >> GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS.

MY NAME IS GAEL EASTERLING, FOR THE RECORD.

SENIOR ENGINEER ON THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

PRIOR TO HIS RECENT DEPARTURE, CHRIS MORAN, THE CITY ENGINEER, AND I WERE WORKING ON PUTTING AN ORDINANCE TOGETHER TO ADDRESS STORMWATER ISSUES. WHILE WE WERE THERE WE ALSO KIND OF FINE-TUNE ADD COUPLE OF OTHER AREAS WE WERE HAVING WATER ISSUES AND FIELD CONDITIONS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF.

IN THIS ORDINANCE WE ARE ADDRESSING FIVE DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE CODE. WHAT I HAVE DONE, IN THE ORDINANCE YOU SEE A LOT OF LANGUAGE IS IN BLACK AND WHITE AND NOT STRICKEN THROUGH AND UNDER LINED.

IF IT IS UNDERLINED, IT'S TO BE ADDED.

[00:25:02]

THERE. WE GO.

THE FIRST SECTION HAD TO DO WITH UTILITY EQUIPMENT.

WE GOT A LITTLE SIDE TRACKED AND ADDRESSED REQUIREMENTS WHERE WE HAD ENTRANCE TO SOME OF OUR COMMUNITIES BACKING UP AND PREVENTING RESIDENTS FROM GETTING TO THE GATED ACCESS.

WE ADDRESSED STORMWATER WITH ADDRESS ISSUE, SIDEWALK STAINING, WATER RUNOFF AND OTHER STORM WATER EVENTS.

WE ADDRESSED PERFORMANCE BONDS AND PROCEDURES FOR THINGS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED. ALSO IN GIVING THE PERFORMANCE BOND WENT ON AND ADDRESS THE SAME ISSUES IN THAT SECTION.

>> THE FIRST SECTION, 75-170, WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT UTILITY EQUIPMENT BOXES. WE WERE ADDING A SEPARATION BETWEEN OUTDOOR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT TO MAKE SURE THE WATER CAN PASS THROUGH. IT ALSO REQUIRED UTILITY BOXES TO BE ON TOP OF A DRAIN BECAUSE IF THE BOX IS STANDING IN WATER.

SECTION 90-1020, GETS THE COMMENTS I WAS MENTIONING EARLIER. SECTION B HAS TO DO WITH RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES AND THE CHANGE HERE INCREASES THAT THAT VEHICLE STACKING TO 14 VEHICLES BEFORE THE RESIDENT GATED ACCESS WOULD BE BLOCKED. AND, ALSO, DEFINES THE AREA OF THE STACKING 22 FEET WIDE BY 22 FEET LONG.

DECREE C IS NEW LANGUAGE. IT'S STOCKING A REQUIREMENT FOR NONE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. CURRENTLY THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CODE. THIS IS THE TIME TO PUT MINIMUM STANDARDS TO START WITH. IF WE FIND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH COMPLIANCE, WE CAN GO BACK AND CHANGE THEM LATER.

A PART OF THE ORDINANCE DEALS WITH STORM WATER DRAINAGE.

I HAVE OUR CONSULTANT HERE. I AM NOTE AN ENGINEER.

IF WE GET INTO TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS STEVE IS HERE TO HELP US WITH THAT. UNDER NO. 3 IT'S PROBABLY THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL COMPONENT. IT HAS TO DO WITH DRAINAGE AT NEW DEVELOPMENT SITES. MONITORING THEM BASED ON THE 25-YEAR STORM EVENT. NUMBER FOUR SAYS BASICALLY THAT WATER HAS TO BE DIRECTED AWAY FROM THE DWELLING UNIT AND INTO THE STORMWATER SYSTEM. NO. FIVE REQUIRES GUTTERS EXCEPT FOR HOUSES IN. [INAUDIBLE]

>> NO. 6. THIS IS KIND OF WHAT THE COMMISSION WAS TRYING TO DIRECT ARE WE HAVE STAINING OF SIDEWALKS AND DRIVING BECAUSE THE WATER RUNNING OVER THEM.

THIS ADDRESSES SIDEWALKS TO BE DESIGNED FOR DRAINAGE TO RUN UNDER THEM AND INTO A DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

7 REQUIRES THE SEASONAL AND REGIONAL HIGH GROUNDWATER LEVEL AND IT ADDRESSES PONDING OF WATER BETWEEN HOUSES WHEN WE HAVE A STORM EVENT. 8 REQUIRES ROADS, DRIVERS AND OTHER PAVEMENT TO ELIMINATE HYDRO STATIC PRESSURE RESULTING FROM STANDING WATER. SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES HAVE SEEN WATER PERCOLATING UP THROUGH PAVEMENT.

9 REQUIRES DRIVEWAYS TO BE DESIGNED TO WATER DRAIN UNDER THE PAVEMENT. AGAIN, THAT'S TO PREVENT STAINING. 10 REQUIRES -- TO PERCOLATE INTO THE WATER AND COLLECTED INTO DRAINAGE.

11 REQUIRES NORMAL SITE AND YARD IRRIGATION PRACTICES TO BE CONSIDERED IN THOSE DRAINAGE POPULATION.

B-1, 2, 3, SAYS THAT THE TYPE OF MATERIALS YOU USE HAS TO COMPLY WITH COUNTY STANDARDS. ALTHOUGH THAT GENERALLY IS IMPLEMENTED, WE ARE ADDING SPECIFIC LANGUAGE TO THE CODE.

8 ADDRESSES FILL AND WHETHER IT'S PERCOLATES STANDARD FOR TH.

9 TALKS ABOUT IF YOU HAVE EXISTING UNSUITABLE FILL AND REQUIRES IT TO BE REMOVED FROM THE SITE.

AND THEN 10 IS JUST A BASIC MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT TO COULD

[00:30:06]

WE'LL TALK ABOUT PARTIAL RELIEF OF THE BOND.

THE RELIEF OF THE PERFORMANCE BOND AFTER FINAL ACCEPTANCE IS REQUIRED AFTER ALL THE WORK IS COMPLETED.

TWO WOULD ALLOW THE CITY MANAGER TO AUTHORIZE THE PARTIAL RELEASE WITH THE CITY ENGINEER, PROVIDED THAT CERTAIN THRESHOLDS WERE MET AND THAT IS ADDRESSED IN C-6. 25% OF THE MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE YOU CAN ASK FOR PARTIAL RELEASE.

PERFORMANCE BOND IS MAINTAINED AND EQUAL TO 125% OF THE REMAIN WORK TO BE COMPLETED AND REVIEWED BY THE CITY ENGINEER FOR FINAL APPROVAL BY THE CITY MANAGER.

NO. 3 ADDRESSES THE RELEASE OF BONDS AND ALLOWS WHEN THERE IS A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP FOR THE OLD OWNER TO BE RELEASED AND THE NEW OWNER HAS A NEW BOND. THE WARRANTY BOND, BASICALLY THIS IS AFTER THE WORK IS COMPLETED, TO INSURE THE WORK IS SATISFACTORY FOR A PERIOD OF YEARS.

A ADDRESSES THE PERIOD OF TWO YEARS FOR THOSE BONDS.

25% OF THE COST OF THE WORK COMPLETED IN THE CASE OF A PRIVATE RIGHT-OF-WAY. B, ADDRESSES PERFORMANCE OF THE BOND BEING BY LETTER OF CRYPT C, TALKS ABOUT THE OBLIGATION AND WHAT THE PROCESS IS TO RELEASE THE BOND.

2 AND 3, AFTER FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE COMPLETE PERFORMANCE BY THE CITY, THE BOND CAN BE RELEASED WITH THE APPROVAL AND REVIEW OF THE CITY ENGINEER AND CITY MANAGER.

AND, AGAIN, FOR THE WARRANTSY BOND, AND THE PERFORMANCE BOND, IT CAN BE RELEASED WITH THE CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP AS LONG AS THEY REPLACE THE BOND WITH THE NEW OWNER.

IF YOU HAVE ANY TECHNICAL ENGINEERING QUESTIONS, STEVE IS HERE IT'S RELATED TO ANY FORMAT OR INFORMATION IN THE PAPERWORK, I'LL BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU WITH THAT.

>> WE'LL START WITH VICE MAYOR CUTLER WITH QUESTIONS.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. I POINTED THIS OUT TO OUR CITY ATTORNEY. ONLY BECAUSE I'M NOT AN ENGINEER EITHER. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT FROM A DEFINITIONAL STANDPOINT, THAT WE HAD CERTAIN THINGS LAID OUT IN A WAY THAT THERE IS NO VAGUENESS OR DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU GO BACK TO SLIDE NO. 5. YOU HAD IN THERE THE LANGUAGE TO PINCH IT UP TO 25 WORE A WARRANTY EVENT.

I LOOKED IN THE CURRENT CITY CODE.

THERE IS NO DEFINITION OF WHAT THAT IS IN THE CODE ITSELF.

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE EARLY PARTS OF THE ENGINEERING CODE IN OUR ORDINANCES THAT GIVES ANY DEFINITION.

THERE MAY BE ONE DEFINITION THAT REQUIRES ENGINEERING, BUT I TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO GOLG THAT TERM THERE.

ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CITIES, COUNTIES, STATE-WIDE AGENCIES THAT HAVE VARYING DEFINITIONS FOR WHAT THAT EXACTLY IS. I THINK IT WOULD BE PRUDENT FOR US TO HAVE SOMETHING IN OUR CODE THAT DELINEATES EXACTLY WHERE THAT IS COMING FROM. FOR EXAMPLE, ON YOUR SLIDE NO. 11, 145-160, PARAGRAPH C. IT GIVES A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT.

YOU INDICATE IN THERE THAT UNDER THE CURRENT K THE AAA RATING, WHOEVER THE READER IS OF THIS PARTICULAR MODIFICATION, THE IDEA OF WHERE THAT IS COMING FROM.

SO THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH.

AND THAT CIRCUMSTANCE. I THINK IT WILL BE PRUDENT IF WE ARE WORKING ON UPGRADING OUR CODE, THAT WE HAVE SOME DEFINITIONS. THE DEFINITION WOULD COME FROM U.S. NOAA WEATHER SERVICE IT COMES OUT OF THE ATLAS 13 WHICH

[00:35:09]

WE CAN REFERENCE IN THERE U.S. NOAA AND REFERENCE THAT

PARTICULAR -- >> THAT WILL -- THAT WAY THERE WOULDN'T BE -- SOMEBODY COULDN'T COME IN LATER ON AND STAY DIDN'T MEET WITH THAT, THAT ISN'T MICHIGAN'S DEFINITION OF THAT OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. I WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.

>> VERY GOOD. >> THANK YOU.

THAT MAKES SENSE. COMMISSIONER ISROW.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. YOU MENTIONED THAT THE GUTTER ARE ALWAYS FOR HOUSES THAT DID NOT INCLUDE -- CAN YOU EXPLAIN

HOW HE TESTIFIED TO THAT? >> THIS IS ON THE SMALLER LINES.

IT'S THERE BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF THE IMPERVIOUS AREA THERE.

WAS ISSUE ON THE SMALLER LOTS THAT THE RUNOFF WASN'T GETTING AWAY. IT WAS A LARGER LOT, WHERE YOU HAVE MORE GRASSED AREAS AND IMPERVIOUS AREAS TO PERCOLATE IN. I'M STEVE WILLIAMS, VICE

PRESIDENT OF ENGINEERING. >> SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY FLOODING OR STAGNANT WATER ON THESE

PROPERTIES? >> IT HASN'T BEEN THE ISSUE THAT WE HAVE SEEN. THE ISSUE THAT WE'VE SEEN LATELY ON THE DEVELOPMENT IS IN A SMALLER LOTS WHERE THE WATER IS PONDING AROUND THE AREAS. GENERALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A LARGER LOT, THE RUNOFF COMING OFF THE ROOF, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE GUTTERED. IT WILL COME ON OUT AND PERCOLATE INTO THE GROUND AND NOT BE A STANDING ISSUE.

>> THANK YOU. >> COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN.

>> YES. A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

THE WARRANTY BOND, IS TWO YEARS AN INDUSTRY STANDARD?

>> THAT LANGUAGE IS CURRENTLY IN THE CODE.

WE ARE ADDING CLARITY. >> I'M SAYING TWO YEARS IS AN

FIVE YEARS, TEN YEARS? >> IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT PAINT

IT HAS A WARRANT. >> I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS IS BASICALLY FOR PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY, SIDEWALKS, I GUESS, SUSPENSION OF ROADWAYS, INFRASTRUCTURE.

THE WARRANTY BOND FOR TWO YEARS, THE AMOUNT OF 25 RELATED TO STRUCTURE. MY QUESTION IS THAT THE

STANDARD? >> I DON'T KNOW OF ANY PARTICULAR GOVERNMENT REFERENCE STANDARD FOR THAT.

IT PROBABLY CHANGES FROM MUNICIPALITY TO MUNICIPALITY.

IT WOULD BE WHATEVER THE AMOUNT THE REGULAR WARRANTY.

WHETHER IT'S A ONE YEAR WARRANTY.

SOME COULD HAVE A 10 YEAR WARRANTY.

IT'S HOW SOMETHING IS DESIGNED AND IN THIS CASE, IT'S TWO

YEARS. >> I BRING IT UP.

I KNOW THE ISSUE AT LAGO, FIVE YEARS LATER, THE DRIVEWAYS WERE STAINED OR STAINED BEFORE. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO WHERE A DEVELOPER PUTS IN A DRIVEWAY OR SIDEWALK OR WHATEVER MAY BE.

THEY TURN OVER THE PROPERTY TO THE HOMEOWNER OR HOA AND THEN THE HOA FINDS OUT BY CODE ENFORCEMENT FIVE YEARS LATER THEY ARE STAINED. THE HOA HAS THAT RESPONSIBILITY OF SOMETHING THAT WAS PROBABLY A DEVELOPER ERROR.

I WANT TO KNOW -- MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT PENALIZING AN HOA FOR A

POTENTIAL DEVELOPER ISSUE. >> I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD TALK ABOUT, AS A COMMISSION, IF WE WANT TO UP THAT WARRANTY. WHAM THEM IS TALKING ABOUT PROBABLY HAS A LONGER LIFE EXPECTANCY.

TWO YEARS IS PROBABLY NOT, TO YOUR POINT.

>> WHAT WE CAN DO FOR A SECOND READING IS I CAN PULL UP A COUPLE OF OTHER CITIES. BRING YOU BACK SIX OR EIGHT OTHER CITIES THAT ARE AS WONDERFUL AS WE ARE.

>> YOU DON'T FIND SIX OR EIGHT. >> I KNOW.

I'LL FIND SOME CLOSE TO OUR LIFESTYLE HERE.

SEE WHAT THEIR STANDARD IS. WE'LL GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THE

[00:40:03]

>> SO I GUESS MY QUESTION -- [INAUDIBLE] COULD WE AMEND IT AT THE SECOND READING?

[INAUDIBLE] >> YOU CAN MAKE AN AMENDMENT OF THAT NATURE. WE DISCUSSED IT AT READING.

ANYONE WHO PAID ATTENTION KNOWS IT'S THERE.

THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED. >> THAT'S THE ONE QUESTION.

>> IF I MIGHT OP A LOST CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, THERE IS A ONE YEAR WARRANTY. WE HAVE A ONE YEAR INSPECTION.

WE SAY, OKAY, FTSE OKAY AFTER A YEAR, THEN PROBABLY WHATEVER THE DESIGN LIFE -- YOU DON'T WARRANTY FOR DESIGN LIFE.

WE WILL INSPECT THE PROJECT, THAT THE PRESUMPTION IS IT WILL PERFORM THEN THEN PUT IT IN A REPORT THAT IT'S GOOD, OR IT'S NOT AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED.

IT'S ONLY A ONE YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD WHEN HE SIGNS THIS CONTRACT. IF SOMETHING IS WRONG, THEY HAVE TO COME BACK AND FIX IT. THIS IS ASKING FOR TWO YEARS.

IF I COULD ADDRESS THAT. MAYBE THERE IS DISTINCTION BETWEEN THINGS VISIBLE DEFECT VERSUS THINGS THAT MAY OVER TIME NOT GOING TO MAKE ITSELF IDENTIFIABLE.

MAYBE THERE IS LAYANT VERSUS APPARENT DEFECT.

>> THE ONE THING WITH THE WARRANTSY, YOU PAY FOR THE WARRANTY. TYPICAL, MOST OF MINE ARE ONE YEAR. WHEN PEOPLE ASK FOR MORE THAN THAT, IT COSTS. YOU JUST WANT TO BE MINDFUL WE ARE NOT DRIVING UP THE COST FOR A WARRANTY.

TO YOUR POINT, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT IT IS.

>> RIGHT. >> IF IT'S A PAINTED SURFACE.

IF IT'S A STRUCTURE LIKE A PLAYGROUND.

IF IT'S A ROAD SURFACE. IF IT'S BUILT RIGHT, LIKE YOU SAID, AFTER A ONE YEAR INSPECTION, IT'S GOING TO LAST.

>> YOU BUY AN AIR CONDITIONER, YOU HAVE A ONE YEAR WARRANTY.

YOU EXPECT IT TO LAST MORE THAN ONE YEAR.

YOU EXPECT IT TO LAST MORE THAN FIVE YEARS BUT YOU WILL PAY MORE

FOR THAT WARRANTY. >> WE WOULD BE DRIVING UP THE COST FOR OUR RESIDENTS IF WE GO -- WHICH RIGHT NOW, TWO YEARS IS A PRETTY GOOD WARRANTY. LIKE I SAID, TYPICALLY, MY

INDUSTRY, ONE YEAR -- >> IT'S NOT JUST DRIVING UP THE PRICE, BUT YOU RUN INTO SITUATIONS WHERE YOU HAVE --

[INAUDIBLE] >> AT THAT POINT, YEAH.

IT CAN'T HURT TO HAVE THINGS TO LOOK AT.

IT'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING FOR US TO CONTEMPLATE.

IT CAN'T HURT -- WE MAY COME BACK AND EVERYONE SAYS ONE YEAR.

WE'RE AT TWO. LEAVE IT AT THAT.

>> BEFORE YOU INCREASE IT, YOU MAY WANT TO KNOW --

>> WE MAY DECIDE TO GO TO ONE YEAR.

>> REMEMBER, THIS BOND IS FOR RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION.

[INAUDIBLE] THIS BOND IS A SMALLER BOND.

>> THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS THAT, WITHGATED

NONRESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. >> YES.

>> DOES THAT INCLUDE THE SCHOOL BOARD? BROWN COUNTY SCHOOLS ENDS UP BUILDING ANOTHER SCHOOL SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND, DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE STACKING ISSUES WITH TRANSPORTATION?

>> ANTHONY AND I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN HAVING THIS DISCUSSION OVER SOME DISCUSSIONS HAVING WITH SUMMERSET ACADEMY.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE UNDER STATE JURISDICTION.

>> SO NOT JUST -- >> NOT THIS SUBJECT.

>> I HAD TO ASK THE QUESTION. >> CHARTER SCHOOLS, THE LANGUAGE IS SOMEWHAT GRAY. SO WE TRY TO.

[INAUDIBLE] >> THE FINAL QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS SECTION 75-170. DO YOU HAVE BOXES AND OTHER

[00:45:07]

TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND SATELLITES THINGS, OR WHATEVER.

THEY PUT THEM ON THE GROUND, SET THEM ON A POLE.

THEY DON'T PERMIT THROUGH US. HOW DO WE KNOW THEY ARE ABIDING BY THIS, OR HOW DO WE ENFORCE IT?

>> IT'S TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T HOLD WATER.

PUTTING IT ON SOMETHING THAT DRAINS OUT.

YOU DON'T WANT IT DRAINING OVER A SURFACE.

I THINK WE WERE TALKING ABOUT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

>> THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. >> IF ANYTHING ELSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO PULL AN ENGINEERING PERMIT WITH THE CITY.

>> CURRENTLY THEY DON'T HAVE TO? [INAUDIBLE]

>> DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY ARE INSTALLING.

THEY HAVE PROTECTION UNDER STATE LAW.

>> THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO -- THAT'S LIKE THE SCHOOL.

>> YES. >> BUT I THINK THE INTENT -- CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. DEALING WITH THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT, THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS --

>> YES, BUT I'M -- >> I THINK YOUR POINT IS WELL MADE. THESE REGULATIONS WE'RE ADDRESSING FIELD CONDITIONS, FOR THE MOST PART.

>> RIGHT. >> WITH GNH, I BELIEVE WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS PROBABLY TWEAK THE LANGUAGE A BIT.

RELATED TO RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND ALSO SOMETHING FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION TO HAVE OTHER LANGUAGE.

>> SOUNDS GREAT. >> COMMISSIONER BRIER, DO YOU

HAVE ANYTHING? >> ALL OF MY QUESTIONS WERE

ANSWERED. >> OKAY.

>> THAT IS RUN BY THE CITY AND ENGINEERING IS GOING TO ADDRESS IN TERMS OF THE -- TRYING TO AVOID THE ISSUES FROM CONTINUING FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OR WHAT ELSE IS THERE, KEEPING IT TO CODE. THIS IS SELF-AUDITING, IF YOU WILL, AND TAKING MEASURES TO TRY TO PREVENT DEVELOPERS FROM LEAVING OUR RESIDENTS WITH DRAINAGE ISSUES.

>> I THINK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

I'M GLAD WE ARE HEARING IT. >> WELL PUT.

OKAY. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? SEEING NONE.

RESOLUTION 2022, TER MAR PARK FIELD AND PARKING LOT EXPANSION.

PROJECT IS FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE MULTI-PURPOSE FIELDS AT TERRAMAR TO BRING IT TO A -- AND WITH THAT WE ALSO EXPAND THE PARKING LOT FOR EXPANSION FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE ARE GOING TO ALLOW FOR -- [INAUDIBLE] WE HAVE SIX DATES.

WE WERE EVALUATED BY THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE.

>> I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT.

THERE WAS NO PARKING TONIGHT. WE HAD LITTLE LEAGUE PRACTICE.

THE CHANGEOVER FROM OUR PRACTICE IS 5:30 TO 7:00.

THE NEXT GROUP COMING IN, IT'S DIFFICULT.

IT'S BETTER THAN LOSING SPOTS. HAVING THE FIELDS AT REGULATION SIZE OBVIOUSLY IS CRUCIAL. OUR OFFICIAL TURF, WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT AT STRATEGIC PLANNING, I THINK WILL GIVE SCHEDULING A MUCH BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO ASSURE KIDS ARE ABLE TO PLAY, THE LEAGUES, WHATEVER IT IS.

[00:55:03]

I'M EXCITED FOR THIS PROJECT TOP GET DONE.

I WISH WE COULD -- >> IT'S UNDER BUDGET, CORRECT?

>> CORRECT, UNDER BUDGET. >> THAT'S AN IMPORTANT POINT.

THIS TIME, YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TO GO UNDER BUDGET IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN FOR POINTING THAT OUT. UNDER BUDGET.

ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS AGENDA ITEM? NO? MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ISROW.

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTOMATED

SIDE-LOAD SERVICE IN PARKLAND. >> OKAY.

>> WELCOME. >> COMMISSIONER.

MANAGER, CITY ATTORNEY AND MADAM CLERK.

HOPEFULLY EVERYONE AT HOME CAN SEE -- GET IT ON THE CAMERA.

>> PRESS ALT-TAB. [INAUDIBLE]

>> THANK YOU. LET ME START AGAIN.

THANK YOU AGAIN, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS.

MADAM MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY. MY NAME IS BARBRA -- AND I REPRESENT THE CITY OF PARKLAND. I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO OUR PROPOSAL. ALL OF YOU HAVE LOANED ME AN EAR AND GIVEN YOUR ATTENTION TO SUMMARIZE, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY NOW WHERE WE HAVE MIGRATED AWAY FROM ANOTHER ONE OF OUR -- THE TRUCKS THAT WE HAVE NOW ARE AUTOMATED SIDE LOAD. THEY HAVE THE HYDRAULIC ARM THAT EXTENDS. THOSE ARE THE ONES WE ARE USING NOW TO COLLECT. THOSE TRUCKS ARE HIGHLY VALUABLE, AS ANYONE WILL TELL YOU, BECAUSE THEY ARE HIGHLY IN DEMAND. BEFORE I CONTINUE, ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE -- SENIOR MANAGER AND A PARKLAND RESIDENT.

I HAVE THE ROUTE MANAGER FOR THE CITY AND -- [INAUDIBLE] HE STARTED YESTERDAY.

HE HAS BEEN WITH US FOR A WHILE BUT HE IS NOW THE SENIOR.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. HE IS HERE BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN THE OPERATOR. HE DEFINITELY KNOWS PARKLAND.

HE IS MY PARTNER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AND BEFORE ANOTHER CITY OR COUNTY SNATCHES THEM UP, SEE IF PARKLAND WOULD ENTERTAIN RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ASL SERVICE BUT WE HAVE REAR LOAD.

WHAT THAT MEANS IS THE TYPE OF SERVICE THAT PICKS UP YOUR GARBAGE IS A TRUCK WITH A DRIVER AND A PERSON ON THE BACK.

THEY GO AND PICK UP THE GARBAGE. THEY DUMP IT.

AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING A SERVICE.

SOP WITH THAT BEING SAID, WHY THE SERVICE? OKAY. IN A NUTSHELL, IT IS MUCH MORE INDUSTRY IS EVOLVING FOR THESE REASONS.

SOME HAVE GREATER CURVE APPEAL. IT WILL BE MUCH MORE

[01:00:03]

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE. [INAUDIBLE] [INAUDIBLE] [INAUDIBLE]

>> THERE IS SUCH A HIGH PROPENSITY FOR INJURY WHEN IT COMES TO REAR LOAD TRUCKS. BACK INJURIES.

YOU CAN IMAGINE, YOU HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS PICKING IT UP AND PUTTING IT IN. BACK INJURY IS VERY -- IT'S VERY HARD. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT WORK.

CERTAINLY THE WAY THAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR IMPROVEMENT.

[INAUDIBLE] THE LAST INJURY THAT WE HAD,.

[INAUDIBLE] IT WAS ONE OF OUR DRIVERS.

WE HAD PROTOCOLS IN PLACE. HE HAD TO GO THROUGH A SERIES OF TESTS. IT WASN'T FATAL.

BUT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. MORE PRODUCTIVE SERVICE.

IT HAS HIGHER QUALITY. [INAUDIBLE] WHICH WOULD NOT ONLY PUT THEM IN A BETTER POSITION TO SERVICE THE COMMUNITY BUT PUT THEM IN A BETTER POSITION TO -- [INAUDIBLE] THE CURRENT RATE FOR THE -- SPEAKING WITH THE MANAGER, EXPRESSED A CONCERN THAT ANY CHANGE WILL MAYBE -- I HAVE A CONTAINER AND I HAVE A BAG.

SO, IN ORDER TO ASSUAGE THOSE FEARS, WE ARE PROPOSING FOUR ADDITIONAL TRUCKS. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 12.

THE EXTRA FOUR, WE'LL HAVE 16. ONE THING THAT I WANT TO POINT OUT WHICH I HAVE LEARNED, WE DID A SITE SURVEY IN PARK.

IT WAS MARVIN AND ANOTHER TEAM MEMBERS.

THEY DID A SURVEY TO SEE WHAT KIND OF GARBAGE IS ON THE GROUND. WHAT KIND OF CONTAINERS ARE THEY USING. THE CONTAINERS THEY ARE USING ARE -- SO THIS CONTAINER HERE, WE HAVE 96-GALLON CARTS.

[01:05:09]

IT CAN WITH HOLD THE ARM PICKING UP THE GARBAGE CAN AND DUMPING IT AND PUTTING IT BACK DOWN. MOST NORMAL CONTAINERS PEOPLE BUY AT HOME DEPOT OR LOWE'S WILL CRACK UNDER PRESSURE.

THIS IS 96 GALLONS. PEOPLE HAVE 65 GALLONS, THE SIZE OF YOUR CURRENT RECYCLING CONTAINER.

THIS CONTAINER IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER THAN THIS.

WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE? IF YOU LOOK AT THE SCREEN, THAT HAPPENS TO BE -- HE USES THIS CONTAINER.

HE USES THIS CONTAINER -- NOT THIS ONE.

THIS IS BRAND NEW. BRAND NEW.

HE USES THIS TYPE OF CONTAINER. THAT IS WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE.

IT'S MUCH LARGER. THERE.

FIT ANY BAG THAT PEOPLE WILL HAVE.

PEOPLE WILL PUT IT IN. WHAT ABOUT -- YOU HAVE LARGE PALM TREES BUT THEY ARE HARD TO BAG AND WHEN THEY FALL.

ALREADY NOW UNDER OUR CURRENT SERVICE PEOPLE ARE CUTTING THEM AND PICKING THEM UP. CUT THEM UP, PUT THEM IN THE CAN. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.

[INAUDIBLE] IF THAT STILL IS NOT AN OPTION, YOU STILL HAVE COLLECTION WITH WHICH TO FILL YOUR LARGE.

WHATEVER OPTION YOU LIKE. OKAY? WE ARE GOING TO HAVE FOR PEOPLE IN ADDITIONAL AND WE KNOW HOW MUCH -- WE -- [INAUDIBLE] WE ESTIMATED THIS, HOWEVER IF YOU CALL US BECAUSE YOU HAVE A FAMILY OF 12 AND YOU HAVE A LARGE FAMILY, YOU NEED ANOTHER CART, WE WILL PROVIDE IT FOR YOUR RESIDENCE AT NO ADDITIONAL COST. IN ORDER TO DO THIS TRANSITION, THERE WILL BE COMMUNICATION FROM ME.

ASSUMING THAT THE COMMISSION DECIDES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AUTOMATED SIDE LOAD SERVICE. WE WOULD IMMEDIATELY MEET WITH YOUR STAFF. PUT TOGETHER THE PLAN.

PLACE THE ORDER FOR THE CONTAINERS.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE CONTAINERS TAKE ABOUT -- [INAUDIBLE] ABOUT 10 TO 12 WEEKS TO ARRIVE.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES ARE IMPACTING ALL OF OUR LIVES. WE WOULD CERTAINLY COMMUNICATE WITH THE RESIDENTS. WE WOULD LET THEM KNOW WHEN THIS TRANSITION WILL HAPPEN. AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE, WE WILL DELIVER THEM TO EVERYBODY'S HOME.

IF PEOPLE WANTS TO KEEP THEIR EXISTING CONTAINERS, THEY CAN.

BUT THEY WOULD NOT USE THEIR EXISTING CONTAINERS BECAUSE OUR MACHINERY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PICK UP THEIR CONTAINER.

IF THEY WANT TO THROW OUT THEIR EXISTING CONTAINERS, PUT IT OUT.

LASTLY, OBVIOUSLY, THE SERVICE CONDITIONS WILL CHANGE.

WE WILL -- IF YOU ALLOW US TO AMEND THE CONTRACT.

ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE, WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >> I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

>> YES. >> SO THERE IS TWO YEARS LEFT ON

THE CONTRACT. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS THE WAY OF THE FUTURE.

THIS IS THE WAY WASTE MANAGEMENT IS GOING.

BUT CLEARLY THIS IS A HUGE BENEFIT.

IT WILL BE A LARGE COST SAVINGS IN MAN POWER, EVERYTHING.

SO CONSIDERING WE HAVE TWO YEARS LEFT ON OUR CONTRACT, I WOULD ASSUME WASTE MANAGEMENT WOULD SEE THOSE COST SAVINGS

IMMEDIATELY. >> MR. MAYOR, THANK YOU IT, THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION. IT'S DEFINITELY A -- IN REDUCING, THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.

[01:10:03]

AND HOW THE INDUSTRY IS MOVING FORWARD.

OUR INDUSTRY REQUIRES HIGHLY SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT.

ALL OF THOSE HAVE COME TOGETHER, WE ARE NOW, I WOULD SAY -- BUT THE VOLUME OF THAT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE HOME MORE, WORKING FROM HOME. THEY ARE COOKING AT HOME, ORDERING MORE FROM AMAZON. THE VOLUME OF GARBAGE HAS INCREASED TREMENDOUSLY. THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES FOR TO US COLLECT GARBAGE. SO, YEAH, WE WOULD BE REALIZING A REDUCTION OF THE NEGATIVE, ABSOLUTELY.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE SEE AN OPPORTUNITY.

A LARGE COMPANY WITH SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL, USUALLY -- PUT INTO WHATEVER TERMS ARE THE BEST. WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY NOW.

SO BECAUSE WE WOULD BE REALIZING THE REDUCTION IN OUR NEGATIVE ACCOUNT, WE ARE WILLING TO INVEST IN PARKLAND AND PROVIDE THE EQUIPMENT BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THIS WILL HELP THE SERVICE IN PARKLAND, WHICH WILL MINIMIZE ANY POTENTIALLY RATE INCREASE AFTER THE TWO YEARS. IT WILL BE MUCH MORE EFFICIENT.

BECAUSE THERE WILL BE MORE MAN POWER, OBVIOUSLY THE CHANCE FOR

INJURY, ALL OF THOSE THINGS. >> BUT AFTER THOSE TWO YEARS, WE ARE NOT GUARANTEED OUR RATES. WE ARE NOT GUARANTEED THAT IF WE WERE TO SWITCH TO THIS, WE ARE NOT GUARANTEED THAT OUR RATES

WON'T GO UP. >> THE ONLY GUARANTEE, ABSOLUTELY NOT. I CANNOT SPEAK WITH WHERE WE WILL BE IN TWO YEARS. I CAN TELL YOU THIS.

IT IS HIGHLY UNLUCKILY THAT IT WILL GO UP.

>> UNDERSTOOD. I'M SURE THAT IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN TWO YEARS. MY THING IS, IF WASTE MANAGEMENT IS REALIZING COST SAVINGS TODAY, PARKLAND SHOULD RECEIVE SOME OF THOSE BENEFITS AS WELL. WHETHER THAT'S AN EXTENSION OF THE CONTRACT AT OUR CURRENT RATES, OR CERTAIN AMOUNT OF YEARS, SOMETHING TO THAT EXTENT. FOR US TO TAKE ON THIS NEW FEATURE, OBVIOUSLY THERE WILL BE SOME INCONVENIENCE TO OUR RESIDENTS. CHANGE IS NEVER GOOD.

>> CORRECT. >> PALM FRONDS ARE LARGE.

YOU HAVE TO CUT THEM UP NOW, IF YOU PUT ONE OUT, YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO CUT APPROXIMATE UP.

IF WE SWITCH TO THIS YOU WOULD HAVE TO CUT IT UP.

I DO APPRECIATE THE ADDITIONAL BULK PICKUPS.

FOR ME, IT'S HARD TO SEE NOT GETTING SOME FINANCIAL BENEFIT IMMEDIATELY IF WE WERE TO SWITCH THIS.

I SEE THIS AS -- I GET IT, IT'S THE DIRECTION WE ARE GOING.

BUT I STILL SEE THIS AS A HUGE COST SAVING FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT. THOSE ARE ALL VALID POINTS.

I APPRECIATE IT. I WILL TELL YOU THIS, YES, THERE WILL BE A REDUCTION IN COST, ABSOLUTELY.

BUT THAT REDUCTION IS BECAUSE OF OUR INVESTMENT WITH ALLOCATING THE CAPITAL TO PARKLAND, BUYING THE CARTS, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT PURCHASE. THE REASON WE DO THAT, OF COURSE, BECAUSE WE KNOW IF WE DO THAT, WE WOULD BE INCREASING OUR QUALITY AND THE SERVICE WE OFFER.

WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT. THAT BASICALLY MEANS THAT THE RATE THAT WOULD BE THE NEGOTIATED AT THAT TIME WOULD BE MUCH MORE -- THAN IF YOU HAD THE SERVICE WHICH, OF COURSE, WE REALIZE THAT. SO, YES, THE EXCHANGE IS, IN EXCHANGE FOR ALLOWING US TO GO IN THIS ROUTE, TO PROMOTE OBVIOUSLY TO REDUCE FOR OUR DRIVERS, TO HELP LEVEL OUR

[01:15:04]

ALL OF THOSE THINGS THE CUSTOMERS WOULD --

>> I TOTALLY -- I GET WHERE WASTE MANAGEMENT IS GOING.

I UNDERSTAND THE COST SAVINGS THAT WASTE MANAGEMENT WOULD HAVE. I'M NOT SEEING WHAT IT WILL DO

FOR THE RESIDENTS OF PARKLAND. >> I WILL SAY, MAYOR, ANY CONCERN -- THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AS FAR AS THE RESIDENTS.

ANY CONCERN OF THE RESIDENTS -- BECAUSE FOR THE MOST PART I CAN TELL YOU MOST PEOPLE. [INAUDIBLE] IF THEY DON'T WANT TO USE THE CONTAINERS OR THEY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR THE GARBAGE MEN.

WE WILL NOT JUST -- >> AGAIN, I GET -- I UNDERSTAND ALL OF THAT. MY POINT IS THIS.

IN TWO YEARS OUR CONTRACT WILL BE UP.

WE'LL HAVE AN OPTION TO GO THIS ROUTE, OR STAY WITH WHAT WE HAVE. IF WE DECIDE TO STAY WITH WHAT WE HAVE, IT WILL COST MORE THAN IF WE GO WITH THIS FEATURE.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. HOWEVER N TWO YEARS, IF THE COMMISSION TO GO. [INAUDIBLE] THEN THE QUESTION IS CAPITAL, THE COMMITMENT AND EVERYTHING ELSE WHICH WILL BE NEGOTIABLE. THE OPPORTUNITIES EXISTS NOW, WHICH IS WHY I AM BRINGING IT TO YOU.

>> SO YOU'RE SAYING THE WAY YOU GAUCHE YOUR CONTRACTS NOW -- NEGOTIATE YOUR CONTRACTS NOW, THE CITY PAYS FOR THE TRUCKS IN

THE CONTRACT. >> IF WE WOULD PURCHASE THE TRUCKS. [INAUDIBLE] THESE TRUCKS ARE AVAILABLE NOW. THEY ARE HERE NOW.

AGAIN, THE CONTRACT WITH THE CITY IS TO GO WITH THIS ROUTE OR NOT. THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.

THE RATE THAT WOULD BE NEGOTIATED WHEN WE COME TO THE TABLE AGAIN WILL HAVE THIS PARTICULAR RATE AND THE SERVICE WILL BE ANOTHER FACTOR. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THAT MEANS WE WILL TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, THE ISSUES WE DISCUSS. AND I CAN TELL YOU, SIR -- THERE

WILL BE -- >> I'M SURE.

>> I SHARED THE SAME CONCERN WITH THE MAYOR WHEN YOU AND I FIRST MET. I HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS TO TAKE A STEP BACK. YOU KEEP USING THE PHRASE NEGATIVE RETURN. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN THIS

CONTEXT? >> THE WAY THAT WE CALCULATE RETURNS IN OUR SERVICE AND HOW WE MODEL OUR OPERATIONS COST, THE COST OF BUSINESS. WE HAVE DISPOSAL AND OPERATION.

AT THIS TIME -- >> SO YOU AND I -- THANK YOU.

WHEN YOU AND I MET YOU TOLD ME WASTE MANAGEMENT WAS LOSING MONEY IN PARKLAND. IS THAT WHAT THAT MEANSEN WASTE

MANAGEMENT IS AT A DEFICIT? >> THE RETURNS WE ARE EXPERIENCED IS NOT WHAT WE CALCULATED WITH THE CHANGES THAT

HAPPENED DURING THE PANDEMIC. >> GOT IT.

>> SO BASICALLY IT'S THE THEY ARE NOT AS PROFITABILITY AS THEY PLANNED. WHEN WE FIRST SPOKE SHE SAID WASTE MANAGEMENTING HAD BEEN LOSING MONEY IN PARKLAND.

>> WE ARE PROUD OF THE WAY THAT -- WE ARE A FOREIGN 500 COUNTRY. WE ARE NUMBER ONE IN AMERICA.

THAT IS THE REASON -- >> I COMPLETELY REAL-TIME THE

COMPANY. >> WE ARE A WELL-RUN COMPANY? OF COURSE, NO DOUBT ABOUT TEN THE REASON I'M ASKING, THAT PLACES IN THE DECISION MAKING. IF WASTE MANAGEMENT IS LOSING MONEY AND THAT WILL AFFECT THEIR OPERATION AND HOW IT INTERPLAYS WITH OUR SERVICE LEVEL. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

IF IT'S NOT JUST PROFITABILITY BETWEEN 20% AND 30%, THAT'S A

DIFFERENT STORY. >> THE SERVICE WE CURRENTLY HAVE, KEEPING, RETAINING DRIVERS ON REAR LOAD IS VERY, VERY DIFFICULT. SO, OF COURSE, WE ARE COMMITTED

[01:20:01]

I AM SAYING THAT YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE DRIVERS -- AND THAT'S A PROBLEM. SPEASH WITH EMERGENCIES.

LOOK, RECENTLY WE HAD A LARGE AMOUNT OF OUR WORK FORCE DOWN.

BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF OUR COMPANY.

WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP WORKING. WASTE MANAGEMENT NEVER STOPPED SERVING THEIR CUSTOMERS. OTHERS DID.

SO THE QUALITY OF YOUR SERVICE WE GUARANTEE IT.

I CAN TELL YOU, THE WAY IT IS WORKING, IT IS SO DIFFICULT FOR -- WE ARE NOT JUST TALKING INSURANCE.

WE WILL DO THIS WHETHER THE COMMISSION MOVES FORWARD OR NOT.

>> I UNDERSTAND. THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO THIS STORY. THERE.

IS THE CONCERN AND DIFFERENT THAT WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS SERVICE THE OTHER PURPORTED BENEFIT THAT PARKLAND WILL OBTAIN BY SWITCHING OVER. I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR IN A SENSE I THINK THIS COMES DOWN TO, FOR US, MORE OF A FINANCIAL CONVERSATION. SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, SOMEBODY CAN DISAGREE, I HAVEN'T HEARD CONCERNS ABOUT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE IN PARKLAND. TO THE EXTENT THERE MAY BE BENEFITS AT A HIGHER LEVEL, IT MAY BE GREAT.

PEOPLE WILL BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE CHANGE THAN GETTING A NEW CAN, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT. YOU SAID THAT -- I MENTIONED THERE WILL BE SOME PEOPLE WHO WILL BE WANTING MORE BINS.

YOU SAID ANYONE WHO ASKED CAN GET AS MANY AS YOU WANT.

NOW THERE IS A LIMIT. >> WE TO COME UP WITH A NUMBER OF CONTAINERS. THIS NUMBER WE CALCULATED BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE KNOWING WHO PUTS OUT WHAT IN WHAT NEIGHBORHOODS. THERE ARE CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS THAT PUT OUT MUCH MORE VOLUME THAN OTHERS.

>> I HAD A PINE TREES, THEY HAVE LARGE ACRES.

>> THAT'S NOT TO SAY THERE ARE SOME IN OTHER AREAS.

BUT THE MAJORITY OF THOSE EXTRA WE WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE AS TO

WHO WOULD. >> YOU SURVEYED THE RESIDENTS?

>> NOT THE RESIDENTS. WE SURVEYED THE --

>> THAT IS A FIXED NUMBER? >> AT THIS POINT, YES.

WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THAT IS MORE THAN AMPLE RESOURCES.

>> THEN THE LAST QUESTION, GOING BACK TO THE TWO YEARS WHEN WE HAVE TO NEGOTIATE. IS IT MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE TRUCKS THAT YOU ARE TO ALLOCATE ARE STRICTLY ONLY FOR PARKLAND? YOU MANAGE TRUCKS BY MUNICIPALITY?

>> OUR OPERATIONS PEOPLE CAN TELL YOU MORE ABOUT HOW IT IS MANAGED. THESE TRUCKS ARE IN A PREVIOUS -- WHICH WE HAVE MIGRATED AWAY FROM.

SO WE HAVE THE TRUCKS. THOSE TRUCKS BELONG TO OUR -- IT BELONGS TO THE SUBSIDIARY. [INAUDIBLE] I CAN TELL NOW WOULD BE THE TIME, NOT LATER.

YES, CHANGE IS VERY -- WE WILL WORK WITH THE CITY.

WE WON'T LEAVE ANYBODY OUT IN THE COLD.

IF THEY ARE UNHAPPY, IF THEY HAVE EXTRA MATERIAL, WE WILL

WORK WITH THAT, NO PROBLEM. >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY QUESTION IS. IF WE DON'T PURCHASE THESE

TRUCKS -- >> YOU ARE NOT PURCHASING THE

TRUCKS. >> IF WE DON'T TAKE THIS OPTION, WE GO FORWARD, TWO YEARS FROM NOW WE'LL HAVE TO INVEST IN CAPITAL OF THESE TRUCKS THAT TO SAY EVERY MUNICIPALITY -- YOU GUYS MANAGE YOUR FLEET BY MUNICIPALITY?

[INAUDIBLE] >> WHENEVER WE HAVE A MUNICIPALITY, WE ALLOCATE TRUCKS FOR THAT MUNICIPALITY.

ABSOLUTELY. >> I'M TOM, SENIOR DISTRICT MANAGER FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT. AND A RESIDENT OF PARKLAND.

I LIVE OVER IN FOUR SEASONS. WHENEVER -- I THINK YOU ALL KNOW. WHENEVER WE STARTED, IN 2024 WE START A NEW CONTRACT. IF IT'S X NUMBER OF YEARS IT

[01:25:01]

THE TRUCKS ARE LOAD OLDEREM WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REDEPLOY SOME OF THE ASLS IN OTHER AREAS WE WALKED AWAY FROM.

WE'LL REFRESH THEM WITH NEW TRUCKS.

THAT'S WHAT THAT PIECE IS. >> YOU MANAGE YOUR FLEET BY MUNICIPALITY. WE HAVE CERTAIN TRUCKS THAT ONLY

SERVICE PARKLAND. >> THE ANSWER IS NOT THAT SPECIFIC. I DON'T HAVE PARKLAND TRUCKS.

WE HAVE PRIMARY TRUCKS ASSIGNED TO PARKLAND.

IF WE NEED TO RE DEPLOY BECAUSE THERE IS A TRUCK OUT IN ANOTHER CITY, WE CAN REDEPLOY THEM TO ANY AREA WE WANT TO OR NEED TO.

WHEN WE SET UP TO OPERATE IN A CITY, WE DO HAVE TO PURCHASE AND X AMOUNT OF TRUCKS. WE PUT THE CAPITAL TOGETHER TO HAVE THAT MANY TRUCKS. THEN WE FOLLOW THE CONTRACT AND USE THE AMOUNT OF TRUCKS WE NEED TO BASED ON THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE TRUCKS AND STUFF. I DON'T HAVE A TRUCK THAT SAYS

PARKLAND ONLY. >> BASICALLY IN TWO YEARS, TO THE EXTENT WE SAY WE GO FORWARD WITH THIS MANAGEMENT AGAIN.

YOU DON'T CENTER TO BUY ADDITIONAL TRUCKS.

THERE IS NO OUTLAY TO ACHIEVE THAT SERVICE.

NOW WE ARE MOVING OTHER TRUCKS OVER TO OUR SERVICE AREA? YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE WILL BE OPPORTUNITIES IN TWO YEARS, IF THE TRUCKS WE HAVE NOW, SAY -- I'LL USE NUMBERS.

IF THERE ARE SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS OLD AND IN TWO YEARS THEY ARE NINE OR TEN YEARS OLD. WE MAY LOOK AT OUTLYING CAPITAL TO PURCHASE NEW TRUCKS. BY THE END OF THE CONTRACT YOU

DON'T WANT -- >> THAT COST IS SPREAD ON ALL MUNICIPALITIES YOU DO BUSINESS WITH.

>> THE COAST OF ALL TRUCKS ARE SPREAD.

>> I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS.

A PICTURE IS BEING PAINTED IF WE DON'T DO NOW THE SKY WILL FALL

FINANCIALLY. >> YOU WERE TALKING EARLIER ABOUT STRATEGIES AND THINKING LONG-TERM FUTURE.

SO, FOR US, FOR ME, AS WASTE MANAGEMENT, WE ARE -- WE WANT TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT BEYOND 2024. WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE WE HAVE FRESH TRUCKS, WE CAN REFRESH THIS.

YOU'RE RIGHT. WE COME UP WITH A SAVINGS.

INSTEAD OF PUTTING 10 DRIVERS OUT THERE EVERY DAY, WE ARE PUTTING FOUR. THAT'S LABOR COSTS THAT YOU COULD CALCULATE. A LOT OF CHUNK OF THAT SAVINGS IN THE FIRST YEAR IS -- YOU CAN MULTIPLE $55 BY 10,000 PARTS.

WE ARE BUYING THESE CARTS. I HAVE NEVER DONE IN 20 YEARS OF BUSINESS, I DIDN'T GO OUT AND BUY CARTS FOR RESIDENTS.

I'M BUYING CARTS BECAUSE I CAN AFFORD IT AND I RECOGNIZE THE SAVINGS. THAT HELPS US.

WHAT IT DOES FOR US AS A COMPANY, WHEN WE GET TO 2024, EVERY TIME WE RENEGOTIATE CONTRACTS WE LOOK AT PRICE INCREASES. IF I DO THIS NOW, WHAT I'M LOOKING AT -- NOT SHAYING IT WON'T CHANGE THE.

MAYBE THE WORLD CHANGES. LOOK AROUND AT ALL THE AREAS WHEN THERE IS A NEW CONTRACT UP. THIS SORT OF BRINGS THE STICKER SHOCK DOWN BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE ASLS ROLLING AROUND IN THE CITIES. I DON'T HAVE TO BUY NEW CAPITAL.

SOME OF THESE ASLS MAY HAVE SOME YEARS LEFT IN THE CONTRACT.

WHEN WE BID IN 2024, WE'LL PROVIDE A MORE COMPETITIVE BID.

IT WILL CARRY US BEYOND 2024. WE JUST HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE WANTED TO PUT OUT. YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THE BIGGEST SAVINGS THAT WE HAVE. IT IS MORE EFFICIENT.

WE ARE MORE RELIABLE. BUT I THINK -- I THINK WE'VE BEEN PRETTY RELIABLE ALREADY. WE CAN BE AT A GREATER SENSE OF RELIABILITY, WITH ONLY FOUR PEOPLE TO MAN THE OPERATION ON TOUGH DAYS. COVID CHALLENGES.

WHEN YOU ONLY NEED TO MAN FOUR INSTEAD OF TEN.

THAT HELPS US TO BECOME MORE RELIABLE.

THESE AUTOMATED SIDE LOADERS, THEY RUN AT 80 HOMES AN HOUREM THE REAR LOADERS ARE 30 HOMES PER HOUR.

THE TRUCKS WON'T BE OUT THERE LATER IN THE DAY.

THEY WILL BE OFF THE STREETS. THE TRUCKS WILL BE OUT IN NEIGHBORHOODS, MUCH LESS TIME. WHICH IS BETTER.

>> HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT IS A BEVER TO THE RESIDENTS. I HAVEN'T HEARD SAY THIS TRUCK IS STILL HERE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

THAT IS WASTE MANAGEMENT'S BENEFIT.

YOU COULD ALLOCATE A FEWER NUMBER OF TRUCKS TO THE SAME NUMBER OF ROUTES BECAUSE NOW YOU ARE SAYING IS TAKES A SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME TO DO A CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU HAVE TIME TO DO WORK. I WILL LEAVE IT WHERE I STAND.

I THINK IF THERE IS GOING TO BE COST SAVINGS AND RECOGNIZING

[01:30:03]

WHAT WOULD MAKE SENSE FOR US IS TO SAY IF YOUD ON ADD AN YEAR AT THE EXISTING PRICE O SAFE THE PRICE WON'T INCREASE FOR X AMOUNT. SOMETHING WE CAN SAY "THIS MAKES

SENSE." >> THEY ALREADY GOT A YEARLY

COST INCREASE, RIGHT -- >> CPI, THERE IS A CERTAIN SET READ SPHWHRG THEY WILL GET A LARGER INCREASE THIS YEAR

BECAUSE OF INFLATION. >> PARDON ME.

OUR CONTRACT, WHATEVER CPI INCREASE WE HAVE IS HALF.

REGARDLESS, WE KNOW INFLATION IS A PROBLEM.

, SO AGAIN, WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT OF VIEW.

WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. WE ARE CONFIDENT WE ARE PRESENTING THIS IS THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR RIGHT NOW.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WANT ASSURANCES TWO YEARS DOWN THE LINE. WE ARE NOT PREPARED TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW. WE DON'T KNOW.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHATEVER THOSE RATE INCREASES WILL BE TO YOU FOR NOW WILL BE LESS WITH AUTOMATED SIDE LOAD SERVICE AS

OPPOSED TO REAR LOAD SERVICE. >> IN TWO YEARS WE CAN STILL MAKE THE SWITCH IN TWO YEARS FROM NOW.

>> YOU COULD. >> MY POINT, I DON'T WANT TO SOUND -- WASTE MANAGEMENT IS GETTING ALL THE BENEFIT THE NEXT

TWO YEARS. >> I DISAGREE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU FEEL THAT WAY.

I SEE IT, OF COURSE, I DO. WE ARE GETTING BENEFITS, BUT WE ARE SHARING THIS WITH YOU IN TERMS OF CAPITAL.

THAT IS SOMETHING WE WOULD BE DEDICATING TO PARKLAND.

>> WE WILL PAY FOR THE TRUCK REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE DO.

YOU HAVE AN HOURLY RATE FOR THAT TRUCK, FOR WHATEVER TRUCK YOU PUT OUT ON THE ROAD. YOU HAVE AN HOURLY RATE FOR THAT TRUCK. WE WILL PAY THAT HOURLY RATE REGARDLESS IF WE DO IT TWO YEARS FROM NOW OR WHATEVER.

HOW IT'S AMOUR TIDES. IT'S AN HOURLY RATE FOR THE TRUCKEN THE MAN COSTS XYZ AND THE VEHICLE COSTS XY GLE THE SAME AMOURTIZATION APPLIES. WE ARE PAYING FOR THE TRUCKS NOW. WE ARE PAYING FOR TRUCKS NOW.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE YOU WILL GO FROM FIVE ROUTES TO FOUR, AND TEN GUYS TO FOUR. I CAN APPRECIATE WASTE MANAGEMENT WANTING TO DO THATTEN THAT JUST DOESN'T BENEFIT THE CITY OF PARKLAND RIGHT NOW. AGAIN, IN TWO YEARS, WE CAN DECIDE TO GO WITH THIS ROUTE. IT WILL BE CHEAPER THAN IF WE WENT WITH -- I UNDERSTAND THERE WILL BE A DIFFERENCE IN COST.

IN TWO YEARS WE'LL HAVE TO DECIDE.

DO WE WANT TO PAY XYZ DOLLARS FOR REAR LEADERS OR A LITTLE LESS FOR THE SIDE LOADERS. IT WILL BE CHEAPER EVEN PAYING FOR THE VEHICLE. FOR ME, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME SORT OF EXTENSION OF THE CONTRACT WITH THE EXISTING RATES. I APPRECIATE THE ADDED BULK PICKUP. FOR ME IT'S NOT -- I'M NOT HEARING PEOPLE SAY "I WISH TRUCKS WERE OUT OF HERE." I WISH TRUCKS WEREN'T OUT HERE UNTIL 4:00.

YOUR SERVICE IS GREAT. IT'S A GREAT COMPANY.

IT'S JUST A MATTER -- ARE YOU MAKING 30%, OR ARE YOU MAKING 20%. YOU SHOULD MAKE THAT.

IT'S GOOD FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT. YOUR SERVICE IS IMPECCABLE.

PROBABLY WHY IT'S HARD TO MAKE A SWITCH BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS

WORKING GREAT. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> COMMISSIONER BRIER, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? I DO, MAYOR. I GET THE BENEFIT.

ALSO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE AN ENVIRONMENTALLY PROUD CITY.

THAT'S OUR CITY MOTTO. PART OF THAT COMES WITH THE FACT THAT THERE IS ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT OF LESS TRUCKS ON THE ROAD AND BEING MORE EFFICIENT. LESS INJURIES, ETC.

I GET THAT THERE ARE SOME BENEFITS.

I ALSO GET THAT MAKING THE SWITCH IS ADVANTAGEOUS IF WE

[01:35:06]

WHAT I'M STRUGGLING WITH AND I THINK IT'S THE SAME STRUGGLE I AM HEARING, IT'S NOT HAVING THE FLEXIBILITY TO SIT DOWN AND MAYBE ENTERTAIN ALMOST LIKE A RENEGOTIATION OF THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAD, NOW RATHER THAN IN TWO YEARS.

THERE IS THIS OPPORTUNITIES WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT TO GO THIS ROUTE. THIS IS THE DIRECTION THEY WILL EVENTUALLY GO IN. AUTOMATING AND LESS INJURIES AND ALL OF THIS. A LOT OF COMPANIES ARE GOING TO THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY IN WHATEVER FASHION THEY CAN.

IF WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE A DISRUPTION TO OUR RESIDENTS. MAYBE BETTER SERVICE, THEY ARE ABLE TO PICK UP ON TIME. WHATEVER ELSE.

I THINK WE SHOULD DO THAT UNDER THE AUSPICES OF SITTING DOWN AT THE TABLE AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE CONTRACT LOOKS LIKE GOING FORWARD NOW RATHER THAN WAITING TWO YEARS FROM NOW.

MAYBE THAT MEANS AN EXTENSION, MAYBE IT MEANS A WHOLESALE RESTRUCTURING OF OUR CONTRACT GOING FORWARD.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE ANALYSIS AND MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING -- IF WE CAPITALIZE ON THIS OPPORTUNITY NOW, BECAUSE THESE TRUCKS ARE AVAILABLE, AND THEN HAVING TO OFFSET THE CAPITAL THAT IT TAKES TO BUY THESE TRUCKS.

SERVICE IN TWO YEARS, YOU CAN GET THE RATES YOU HAVE NOW IN TWO YEARS IF YOU WERE TO MAKE THAT SWITCH.

HERE IS THE ADDITIONAL COST THAT IT WOULD COST TO RESIDENTS IF WE MADE THE SWITCH IN TWO YEARS. IF WE HAD THAT TYPE OF ANALYSIS, THAT WILL BE GREAT. I WANT TO ADDRESS, WE HAVE WE HAVE RESIDENTS IN PINE TREE WHO HAVE SOME BIG HOUSES.

COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY BE NEED MORE THAN ONE CONTAINER.

I DON'T THINK THAT WILL FILL THAT NEED.

I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT. THEY HAVE FOUR CONTAINERS OR THREE CONTAINERS. IF WE CAN FACILITATE THAT, I DON'T SEE THAT 250 CONTAINERS I THINK THERE WILL BE FAR MORE DEMAND OR ADDITIONAL CONTAINERS FOR RESIDENTS THAT HAVE HAVE LARGE TREES, A LOT OF FOLIAGE. THOSE ARE THINGS I'M INCLINED.

I'M HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION. I'M INCLINED TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS. MAYBE WE CAN HAVE A FURTHER DIALING. MAYBE AN ANALYSIS PROVIDED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT TO SAY, HEY, IF WE GO TO THIS SIDE LOAD IN TWO YEARS, HERE IS THE COST. THAT IS SOMETHING YOU ARE AVOIDING NOW. I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL, THE FINANCIAL BENEFITS TO THE RESIDENTS THAT WILL LAST.

>> SO WHAT I WILL DO REAL QUICK NOW.

SEE IF THERE IS ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? OH, YES.

>> PETE. I KNOW WHEN I GO OUT, I LOOK DOWN THE STREET AND THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE SEEM TO ALREADY HAVE TWO CONTAINERS. I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. I SEE THE SAME THING.

GETTING THEM OFF THE STREETS AND MOVE THEM.

THEY GO DOWN MY STREET. [INAUDIBLE]

BECAUSE IT'S FRIDAY. >> IT'S FRIDAY.

THEY ARE PICKING UP AT THE SAME TIME.

EVEN ON A REGULAR DAY -- [INAUDIBLE]

[INAUDIBLE] >> THERE IS A CLOCK IN, CLOCK OUT TIME. WE TRACK A LOT OF METRICS.

[01:40:02]

YOU GET 80 HOMES AN HOUR. UNLESS WE HAVE TO REDEPLOY BECAUSE WE NEED TO FINISH UP SOMEWHERE ELSE.

[INAUDIBLE] >> THEY GET PAID BY THE HOUR.

YOU ARE REFERRING TO THE DAY RATES.

THEY GET PAID BY THE HOUR. THESE GUYS WOULD END UP -- I HOPE WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME WORKSHOP I APPRECIATE THE FACT WE GET TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT THAT.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW I'M FULL OF GRATITUDE.

THEY GET PAID BY THE HOUR. THESE GUYS GET DONE IN LESS HOURS, BUT AS AN AUTOMATED SIDE LOADER THEY GET PAID MORE BY THE HOUR. WHAT THEY LOSE IN THEIR PAYCHECK THEY GET A LITTLE BIT BACK IN BUYOUT, THAT'S ALL.

[INAUDIBLE] >> ASK YOUR DRIVER.

IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE ASKING ME? THESE ARE DESIGNED TO BE PICKED UP BY AN AUTOMATE TRUCK. THE ONE AT HOME DEPOT IS NOT NECESSARILY DESIGNED TO BE PICKED UP.

THEY COULD PICK IT UP ONCE OR TWICE.

MAYBE FOR A YEAR OR TWO. THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE PICKED UP TWICE A WEEK FOR TEN YEARS. THE HOME DEPOT MIGHT LAST TWO OR THREE YEARS. THEN ANY KIND OF TRANSITION, THEY MIGHT PICK IT UP BECAUSE IT'S POSSIBLE.

THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS THESE ARE ALL REPLACED.

>> YEP. THANK YOU.

THANKS, PETE. SO WE HAVE A MOTION --

MR. BRIER? >> I MAKE A MOTION WE AT A LATER DATE. WHAT WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT WHEN THE CONTRACT COMES UP ARE WAYS OF THE FINANCIAL IMPACT TO THE CITY.

WHAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE. ALWAYS BACK TO THE BOTTOM LINE.

WHAT I HAVE HEARD FROM YOUR SIDE IS OUR BOTTOM LINE IS A HUGE IMPACT ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FACTORS.

THAT IS WHY IT'S IMPORTANT FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT.

I KNOW ALL THROUGH THE COMMISSIONERS AND THE MAYOR TALKED ABOUT THESE THINGS DANCED AROUND THE CONCEPT OF THE FINANCIAL ASPECT FOR THE CITY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS OUR SAVINGS IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS THE FUTURE.

YOU SAID WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BRING.

WE CAN'T SAY WHAT WE WILL DO. TWO YEARS FROM NOW.

BUT THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO. BOTTOM LINE, WHAT'S IN IT FOR THE CITY. THAT'S THE FROM A FINANCIAL STANDPOINT, WHAT IS THE CITY GOING TO BENEFIT FROM IF YOU GUYS CHANGE. IF YOU GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE, I THINK WE'LL BE IN A BETTER DECISION TO MAKE THE DECISIONS FROM A FINANCIALLY IMPACT THAT WILL HELP US MAKE A DECISION.

I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER BRIER, WHO INDICATED THERE IS A LOT OF BENEFITS TO THIS IN TERMS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS, IN TERMS OF -- THE DRIVERS ARE GETTING HURT OR WORKERS GETTING HURT IN DOING THE BACK-LOADING STUFF. IT'S A TOUGH JOB.

I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, I WENT OUT, MY PICKUP, I WENT OUT AND I CUT THEM INTO PIECES AND TIED THEM UP AND PUT THEM NEXT TO THE GARBAGE CAN.

I DIDN'T HAVE TO PUT THEM IN THE GARBAGE CAN.

THE GARBAGE MEN CAME, DUMPED THE GARBAGE AND LEFT THE COMPOST.

NOW YOU HAVE TO FORCE PEOPLE TO PUT THEM IN THE CANS WITH THE GARBAGE F THEY WILL FIT IN THERE.

LIMITING THE NUMBER OF CANS. FIRST YOU SAID WHATEVER NUMBER THEY WANT YOU WILL PROVIDE THEM. NOW THAT HAS CHANGED.

FROM A FINANCIAL STANDPOINT, THE BENEFITS TO THE CITY NEEDS TO BE

BETTER EXPLAINED. >> THANK YOU.

>> COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN, DO YOU WANT TO --

>> YES. I MAY REITERATE THE SAME THING THAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAID. BUT OBVIOUSLY, NUMBER ONE, WE TALKED ABOUT ANYBODY THAT WANTS MORE CANS, 10 CANS, 0 CANS, NOT A PROBLEM. NOW 250 IS -- TO ME, IT'S NOT

[01:45:02]

KEN GETS ONE AND THE MAYOR DOESN'T.

HE ASKED FOR IT FIRST. OR HE LEAVES HE IN A LARGER LOT SIZE. THAT PRESENTS -- I CAN TELL YOU 750 HOMES IN PIPE TREE, COUNTRY ACRE ESTATES.

THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE WITH A LOT OF TRASH.

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT ONE CAN.

THAT BECOMES AN ISSUE. THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE.

I THINK THIS IS WHAT EVERYBODY IS GETTING AT.

LET'S SAY OUR CONTRACT ENDED TODAY.

AND YOU HAD THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BRING US THIS NEW ASL SYSTEM.

MOVING FORWARD, WHAT WOULD OUR CONTRACT BE IN A RENEWAL OR ANOTHER FIVE-YEAR AGREEMENT? THAT'S THE ISSUE WE ARE TRYING TO GO AT. YOU HAVE AGREED OR EXPRESSED WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS A SAVINGS. THERE IS GOING TO BE EFFICIENCY AND OTHER THINGS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BENEFIT THE RESIDENTS.

THERE ARE SOME RESIDENTS -- I GET CALLS, YOU AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT RESIDENTS ARE WAITING WITH, IT'S 4:00, THEY ARE WAITING TO FIND OUT WHEN THEIR TRASH IS GETTING PICKED UP.

THEN HE COMES LATER ON. MAYBE BY 2:00 IF THEIR TRASH IS NOT PICKED UP THERE IS AN ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT IS AN EFFICIENCY. BUT I THINK THE TWO THINGS, FOR ME, OBVIOUSLY THE NUMBER OF CANS.

AS WELL AS CAN WE SIT AND RENEGOTIATE ANOTHER FIVE-YEAR DEAL FROM TODAY, IF WE WERE TO END OUR CONTRACT.

WHAT BENEFIT DOES IT HAVE MOVING FORWARD FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENT.

I DID MENTION WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THE CONTAINERS.

THIS IS THE NUMBER WE CAME UP WITH THAT WE HAD TO ORDER A CERTAIN AMOUNT. AND BASED ON WHAT I UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE SURVEY THAT MARVIN DID WITH A TEAM MEMBER.

HOWEVER, CLEARLY I UNDERSTAND -- THAT'S OKAY.

I THINK WE ARE ALL PRETTY MUCH IN AGREEMENT, UP HERE.

I DON'T WANT TO KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH.

I THINK WE ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT THAT WE WOULD NEED MORE CONTAINERS. THE NEXT, I THINK, AGREEMENT, CLEARLY THERE IS A COST BENEFIT TO WASTE MANAGEMENT.

WE WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN, OUR FINE WITH ENTERTAINING SOME SORT OF CONTRACT RENEGOTIATION, OR SOMETHING TO THAT EXTENT A CONTRACT EXTENSION. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT.

I THINK WE WOULD NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE -- TO COMMISSIONER BRIER'S POINT, WE NEED MORE INFORMATION FROM YOU ON THE FINANCIAL SIDE TO SAY THIS IS THE FINANCIAL IMPACT, IF WE WANT TO DO A WORKSHOP AND YOU HAVE MORE INFORMATION, KNOWING WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR, MAYBE YOU CAN GO BACK TO WHOMEVER AND GET MORE INFORMATION FOR US, WHETHER IT'S RENEGOTIATION OF CONTRACT.

EXTENDING THE CONTRACT. WHATEVER IT MAY BE.

IT SOUNDS LIKE WE ARE ALL WILLING TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. WE JUST NEED A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ON THE ECONOMIC SIDE.

IF YOU COULD PROVIDE THAT WITH US, WE CAN DO A WORKSHOP.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE FROM COMMISSIONER

BRIER. >> THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I HAVE FOR ANTHONY, A LEGAL ONE, WHEN THE CONTRACT IS UP, DO WE HAVE TO GO OUT FOR AN RFP FOR OTHER POTENTIALLY MEMBERS FOR THIS PROCESS, OR CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE EXTENSION OF CONTRACT AND STUFF LIKE THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO DO ALL OF THOSE

CONTRACTS? >> THE CITY COULD GO OUT FOR RFP IF THEY SO CHOSE OR DECIDE TO RENEW WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT ON TERMS THAT ARE ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY.

THERE ARE SOME RENEWAL PERIODS IN THE EXISTING CONTRACT.

>> WE DON'T HAVE -- JUST TO CLEAR -- THAT'S A GREAT POINT.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO GO TO AN RFP. WE CAN RENEGOTIATE THE CONTRACT

IF WE WANT TO. >> YOU HAVE THE ISSUE COME UP IN 2019 WHERE YOU HAVE THE OPTIONS. GO OUT FOR RFP OR DO A

SUBSEQUENT RENEWAL. >> ANTHONY, THE RENEWAL IN THE CONTRACT, FIRST OF ALL, HOW MANY ARE THERE AND IS ONLY RELATED TO THE INCREASE IN THE CPI? THERE ARE TWO ADDITIONAL FIVE YEAR RENEWALS. THE CPI WAS AMENDED HERE IN 2019

[01:50:04]

IT WAS 5% AND NOW IT'S 3.5. >> IN ADDITION TO THAT, WAS THERE EVER ANY PRICE INCREASE -- WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IN TWO YEARS THEY WILL NEGOTIATE. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE MAY HAVE THE OPTION TO EXTEND THE CURRENT TERM.

>> IT'S TWO SIDES TO THE CONTRACT.

WASTE MANAGEMENT WILL HAVE TO AGREE.

>> I THOUGHT IT WAS OUR OPTION. >> IT'S AN OPTION UPON MUTUAL

AGREEMENT. >> IT'S AN OPTION TO RENEGOTIATE. SO THAT YOU ARE BOTH HAPPY.

>> BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT. >> I GUESS IT'S SO WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO GO AFTER AN RFP.

IT SAVES THAT PROBLEM. >> THE ONE FURTHER QUESTION I HAVE, BARBARA. IS THERE A TIMING COMPONENT? YOU INDICATED YOU NOW HAVE THE TRUCKS.

I'M INCLINED TO SECOND THE MOTION TO TABLE THIS TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION. BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY.

BUT IS THERE A TIMING FACTOR INVOLVED FOR THE TRUCKS THAT YOU NEED TO MOVE ON. HOW DO WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT.

>> I CAN TELL YOU THE COMPANY WOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD ON TO

FOREVER. >> WE CAN DO THE WORKSHOP --

>> THERE IS A TIMING. IF YOU AGREE TO SHOW TYPE OF WORKSHOP, THEN WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME.

MY OTHER DEPARTMENTS ALL OVER FLORIDA ARE WANTING OUR AUTOMATED SIDE LOADERS. I CAN'T KEEP THEM --

>> YOU'RE A RESIDENT. YOU CAN BUY US A LITTLE TIME.

>> WE LITERALLY HAVE OUR -- [INAUDIBLE]

>> TO THAT POINT -- >> I WILL SECOND THE MOTION TO TABLE THIS FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION AT WORKSHOP.

>> OKAY. >> WE HAVE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS FOR A WORKER SHOP WITH ADDITIONAL -- A WORKSHOP WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, AND THEN A SECOND BY VICE MAYOR CUTLER.

>> HOLD ON. >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE A POINT ON TIMING BECAUSE IT WAS RAISED, SO COMMISSION CAN HEAR THIS.

THIS IS A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT. IT WOULD NEED AN AMENDMENT TO DO WHAT THEY ARE ASKING TO DO. THAT WOULD REQUIRE AN ORDINANCE AND THAT WILL BE TWO READINGS. KEEP THAT IN ACCOUNT.

>> IT WILL TAKE FOUR MONTHS TO GET THE CONTAINERS ANYWAY.

>> WE'LL HAVE A WORKSHOP AND DO YOU NEED TO MAKE IT --

>> IT'S UP TO THEM. >> DO WE NEED TO MAKE IT TIME

CERTAIN. >> WE KEEP THE WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE ONE A MONTH. WE ALREADY HAVE ONE EARMARKED.

AS SOON AS THEY CAN GET THAT INFORMATION I'LL HAVE IT AT THE NEXT WORKSHOP. COMMISSIONER I WILL GO BACK TO OUR TEAM AND WE WILL COME UP WITH THE SOON AS POSSIBLE TIME AND WE WILL COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY.

>> ROLL CALL.

>> PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU, BARBARA. >> I WANT TO THANK YOU AND EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE, OUR GRATITUDE FOR ALLOWING US TO PARTNERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR HEARING US AND FOR

LETTING ME TALK. >> YOU'VE BEEN WAITING ALL

NIGHT. >> HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING.

>> WHERE ARE WE. >> WE ARE ON ITEM 9-F.

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION RECORDING CITY CLERK'S

PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND CONTRACT. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS. JACKIE WAYMEYER SENIOR DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY AND IRGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS.

I'M SORRY I DIDN'T BRING ANY -- AS YOU KNOW, OUR CITY ANALYSIS HAS BEEN HERE TWO YEARS EFFECTIVE NEXT WEDNESDAY.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH HER CONTRACT SHE IS TO BE EVALUATED BY YOU ALL ONCE A YEAR ON HER ANNIVERSARY.

GIVEN A PERFORMANCE INCREASE TO GO WITH THAT.

THE FIRST THING THAT I WILL ASK YOU ABOUT IS TO PASS THAT AMOUNT. WE AGREED LAST YEAR THAT WOULD BE THE AVERAGE OF THE PERCENTAGES THAT YOU EACH GAVE TO ME. THIS YEAR THAT AVERAGE IS THE SIMPLE 3%. THAT WILL BE THE FIRST REQUEST THAT I HAVE OF YOU ALL TONIGHT IS TO PASS THAT AMOUNT.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS, JACKIE. MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT YOUR PROMOTION. WELL-DESERVED.

[01:55:08]

I WANTED TO GET THAT OUT. >> TO REITERATE, MOTION TO APPROVE. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? OKAY.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ISROW.

>> SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> I HAVE A SECOND REQUEST FOR YOU ALL. THE CITY CLERK ASKED TO REOPEN HER CONTRACT FOR NEGOTIATION. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS ASK YOU FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY AND I TO NEGOTIATE THAT CONTRACT WITH ALLISON AND BRING THE RESULT BACK TO YOU AT

A FUTURE MEETING. >> MOTION TO APPROVE?

SECOND. >> THIS IS THE SAME AGENDA ITEM.

I WILL OPEN IT FOR THE PUBLIC. DO I HEAR A SECOND?

>> SECOND. >> SO A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ISROW.

ROLL CALL.

>> PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, JACKIE.

CONGRATULATIONS, ALISON. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

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

>> THANK YOU. COMMENTS BY THE BROWARD

SHERIFF'S OFFICE. >> GOOD EVENING, COMMISSION.

I'M HAPPY TO REPORT NO OVER THE PAST MONTH.

THE LAST THREE BURGLARIES DOING A GOOD JOB KEEPING KEY FOBS IN THE CARS. DON'T LOCK THEM.

THAT IS SCARY. >> GUN SAFETY SHOULD BE COMMON SENSE. IF YOU HAVE A FIREARM, YOU SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE WITH THAT FIREARM.

WHETHER IT'S BRINGING IT BACK INSIDE.

LOCKING IT UP IN THE CAR IN A BOX, WHATEVER.

THAT IS JUST COMMONSENSE STUFF. WHOEVER OUT THERE LISTENING, FIREARMS, USE THEM SAFELY. PLEASE LOCK THEM UP.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHO IS TAKING A FIREARM AND WHAT THEY END UP DOING WITH THEM. THAT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING.

I WANT TO GRADUATE YOU, YOUR DAUGHTER, ON THE TEAM HAD A FANTASTIC SEASON. THEY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN THE PLAYOFF BUT THEY HAD A GREAT YEAR AND GAME WAS FUN TO WATCH.

>> AND YOUR SON'S TEAM, ALSO. >> LOST IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS, LIKE YOU GUYS. GREAT SEASON BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS. THANK YOU.

[11. Comments by the Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department]

>> COMMENTS BY THE CORAL SPRINGS-PARKLAND FIRE

DEPARTMENT. >> GOOD EVENING.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I ALSO VOTED FOR YOU.

NOT THAT IT MATTERS. WE HAD 130 -- 133 FIRES.

THE THREE FIRE CALLS WERE GAS LEAKS.

I'M SURE YOU HAVE SEEN IN THE PAGES YOU SEND OUT.

WE HAVE HAD A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THOSE TYPE OF CALLS.

JUST THIS EVENING, THERE WAS RECOVERY EFFORT, TASTEFULLY NO INJURIES. THEY ARE TIME SENSITIVE.

WE HAD TO CALL HAZMAT TEAMS IN OUT OF SUNRISE.

>> ARE THESE THE SAME REASON THEY ARE HAVING LEAKS?

>> MOST OF THEM ARE CONSTRUCTION CREWS.

EVEN A VERY SMALL EXCAVATE WITH BIG ENOUGH WATER PIPES, NOT PROPERLY MARKING THEM AHEAD OF TIME LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO.

>> 8-1-1, RIGHT? EVERY CONTRACTOR WHO DOES ANY SCAIFERTION SHOULD BE CALLING 8-1-1.

THEY COME OUT. THEY MARK EVERYTHING.

FLAG EVERYTHING. YOU KNOW WHERE ALL THE UTILITIES ARE. THAT WON'T HAPPEN.

>> IT'S A LOT OF WORK TO MITIGATE THE HAZARD, BUT IT

[02:00:02]

WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC. >> AN EXCAVATOR HITTING THE METAL PLATES, THE PARK, YEAH, BIG PROBLEMS GOOD THAT'S ALL I

HAVE. >> GREAT.

>> THIS IS A QUESTION FOR NANCY. IS THERE A WAY -- I KNOW NOW THE RANGERS HAVE AED, THERE IS NO WAY FOR THEM TO KNOW THERE IS A C.P.R. EVENT. EVEN THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY SPECIFICALLY TELL IT YOU, ESPECIALLY AT THE PARK, WHAT THEY ARE DOLING WITH AND TO BE SPECIFIC.

IT COULD BE FARTHER AWAY. >> RIGHT.

>> SO IS THERE ANY WAY, WHETHER THROUGH DISPATCH OR WHATEVER THAT YOU CAN WORK WITH NANCY AND CHRISTINE AND THE RANGERS, SOME WAY TO COMMUNICATE, ESPECIALLY I KNOW THEY ARE ABLE TO HAVE ONE-WAY COMMUNICATION WITH BSO. IF THERE IS A WAY TO DO THAT.

WE HAVE A SYSTEM AND PAGING THAT PICKS UP THE SYSTEM.

WE CAN WORK ON THAT. >> OKAY.

COMMENTS BY THE CITY MANAGER. >> NO COMMENTS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. >> I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS ON.

[13. Comments by the City Attorney]

>> I HAVE A COMMENTS FOR YOU TONIGHT.

>> OH, GOOD. I DID ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN YOUR COMMENTS TONIGHT. WE HAD SPOKEN PREVIOUSLY ABOUT A COUPLE OF LEGISLATIVE BILLS FILED IN THIS LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION WITH RESPECT TO -- UNDER EXISTING FLORIDA LAW, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THE CITY OF PARKLAND ARE PROVIDED SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY, FOR STATUTES AND PURSUANT TO THE PROTECTION, THE CITY IS PROTECTED FROM TORT CLAIMS SUCH AS PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS, AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS, WE HAVE CERTAIN CAPS, STATUE TRICAPS ANR PERSON. 300,000 PER INCIDENT.

EVEN IF THE CITY WAS SUED SOMEONE GETS A MILLION DOLLARS JUDGMENT, THE CITY'S INSURANCE CARRIER WOULD BE CAPPED AT PAYING THOSE ALL-STAR. THE ONLY WAY TO GET ADDITIONAL IS TO GO TO THE LEGISLATURE THERE.

WAS A HOUSE BILL AND SENATE BILL TO DRASTICALLY INCREASE THOSE COSTS WHICH WOULD LIKELY INCREASE YOUR INSURANCE COSTS.

ULTIMATELY THE COST TO THE TAXPAYERS.

SENATE BILL 974 IS ORIGINALLY FILED TO BUMP UP THE CAPS TO $1 MILLION PER CLAIM. $6 MILLION PER OCCURRENCE.

THE HOUSE BILL VERSION WAS $1 MILLION PER CLAIM WITH NO CAP ON THE OVERALL OCCURRENCE. THOSE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY AMENDED AS THEY MADE THEIR WAYS TO COMMITTEE.

SOME GOOD NEWS FROM THE LEGISLATURE TONIGHT.

SENATE BILL 974 WITH RESPECT TO PARKLAND, WHICH IS BROKEN DOWN BY POPULATION. HALLMARK IS UNDER 50,000.

OUR CAP WOULD STAY THE SAME AS THE STATUTORY CAPS NOW.

THE HOUSE BILL 985, THAT HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 400,000 PER PERSON. 6 HURON THOUSAND -- 600,000 PER INCIDENT. THE EXTENT TO NECESSARY, REACH OUT TO YOUR LEGISLATURES AND SUGGEST PASSING THE SENATE BILL.

I BELIEVE IT'S IN SUPPORT OF SENATE BILL 974.

>> THANK YOU, ANTHONY. ANYONE? I THINK THAT WAS A GOOD EXPLANATION.

OKAY. ANYONE?

ANYONE? >> MOTION TO ADJOURN.

>> MOTION TO
