SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE HAVE THE PRESENTATION BY THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT DOCTOR CARTWRIGHT.

COME ON UP. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR WALKER, PARKLAND, CITY COMMISSIONERS AND CITY STAFF.

I'M HONORED TO BE HERE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT AND AM APPRECIATIVE OF THE INVITATION. I AM DOCTOR VICKI CARTWRIGHT SUPERINTENDENT OF BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

IT IS MY PLEASURE BEING WITH YOU TONIGHT.

I APPRECIATE YOU BEING ABLE TO INVITE ME TOO COME AND SPEAK WITH YOU AND SHARE SOME INFORMATION.

I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DID NOT RECOGNIZE MY WONDERFUL PRINCIPLES AND DIRECTORS WHO ARE HERE AS WELL TO SUPPORT THE INFORMATION WE ARE SHARING WITH ALL OF YOU.

ALL OF US COLLECTIVELY APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH THE CITY OF PARKLAND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO SCHOOL SAFETY. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO OUR SRO PROGRAM TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I CALLED PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THAT. I DO ALSO TONIGHT WANT TO SHARE SOME OF THE GREAT WORK THAT IS GOING ON AND BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WITH HER STUDENTS AS WELL AS HER TEACHERS ACROSS THE ENTIRE DISTRICT. WE ARE DOING THINGS TO TRANSITION US RIGHT NOW INTO A NEW NORMAL IN SCHOOLS AND ACROSS OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY AS YOU ALL KNOW WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL THAT WE ARE BACK A PERSON FOR IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION, FACE-TO-FACE WITH OUR STUDENTS. WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE HAVE HAD WITH OUR FAMILIES AS BOTH WAYS WORKING TOGETHER TO ENSURE WE ARE TAKING CARE OF THE WHOLE

CHILD. >> SINCE RETURNING TO LEARNING LAST FALL OUR STUDENTS HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON REESTABLISHING THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IT IS A PROCESS WE WILL CONTINUE WITH FOR SUMMER 2022. THIS YEAR SOME EXPERIENCE IS A SIX-WEEK PROGRAM OF PERSONALIZED INSTRUCTION TAILORED TO EACH STUDENT SPECIFIC NEED. THIS SUMMER ELEMENARY GRADE STUDENTS CAN CONTINUE WITH CORE SUBJECTS LIKE READING AND MATH AND STAY ENGAGED WITH LEARNING TO OFFSET THE USUAL SUMMER SLIDE THAT WE KNOW HAPPENS EVERY SUMMER.

FOR THE SECONDARY GRADE STUDENTS THEY WIL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECOVER COURSE CREDITS AND COMPLETE COURSES THAT THEY NEED TO GRADUATE ON TIME WITH THEIR PEERS.

WE ALSO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IF WE KNOW DURING SUMMERTIME OFTEN TIMES HER STUDENTS ARE LOOKING TO HAVE FUN.

WE ARE MAKING SURE OUR STUDENTS WILL HAVE SOME TIME TO HAVE FUN AS WELL WHEN THEY ARE ATTENDING OUR SUMMER CAMPS AND AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR MINISTER POLITY PARTNERS IN LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE PRACTICAL FULL-DAY SOLUTIONS FOR WORKING FAMILIES SO STUDENTS NEEDING ACADEMIC SUPPORT CAN LEARN AND ENJOY THE SUMMER MONTHS.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IN ADDITION TO THE ACADEMIC FOCUS IS SUMMER FOR THE DISTRICT IS WORKING TO RECALIBRATE OUR STRATEGIC PLAN SO EVERYTHING THAT WE DO IS FOCUSED ON STUDENT

[00:05:01]

BUT GOING IN AND TAKING A LOOK AT HER CURRENT STRATEGIC PLAN, WHAT WE FOUND WITH THE PANDEMIC IT DRAMATICALLY IMPACTED WHAT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED AND OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

IN ADDITION TO THAT WE ALSO FOUND WE HAD MULTIPLE GOALS AND MULTIPLE PRIORITIES MEANING BECAUSE WE WERE PULLED IN 70 DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS IT WAS DIFFICULT TO FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT MATTER MOST TO US. STUDENTS IN STUDENT OUTCOMES.

THAT REQUIRES PROVIDING OUR STUDENTS WITH SAFE AND SECURE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE DISTRICTS EFFORTS IN THE AREA SAFETY AND SECURITY. FOR EXAMPLE WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED A RANDOMIZED WEAPON SCREAMING AND INITIATIVE DISTRICT WIDE AFTER PILOTING PROGRAMS TO HELP US REFINE BEST PRACTICES.

THE RANDOMIZATION APPROACH IS INTENTIONAL AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE WHEN THERE ARE PERMANENT STRUCTURES IN PLACE, UNFORTUNATELY STUDENTS FIGURE OUT HOW TO GO AROUND IT.

WHEN YOU TAKE A RANDOMIZED APPROACH WHAT HAPPENS, THE STUDENT NEVER KNOWS WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO SHOW UP SOMEWHERE AND DO A RANDOMIZED APPROACH. IT IS A DETERRENT IN ITSELF AND IT IS A LAYERED APPROACH. THERE IS NO ONE RIGHT WAY ON HOW TO ADDRESS SAFETY. WE CONTINUE TO PROMOTE SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING CAMPAIGN WHICH PROVIDES MULTIPLE OPTIONS, STUDENTS AND STAFF CAN USED TO REPORT SAFETY AND SECURITY CONCERNS AT SCHOOLS AS WELL AS DISTRICT FACILITIES.

IN ADDITION TO THAT WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH BROWARD TEACHER UNION AND OTHERS IN ENCOURAGING OUR STAFF TO DOWNLOAD THE ALERT.

WE ARE COMPLETING ROLE SPECIFIC TABLETOP TRAINING FOR SCHOOL-BASED SECURITY IN A MINISTRY TO STAFF WHICH TO PRACTICE RESPONSES TO MAJOR INCIDENTS WITH SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE SAFETY, SECURITY AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TEAM THAT WE EXPAND ABOUT THE CLARITY, THAT COULD BE A GUARDIAN, THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER THAT IS ALREADY ON-SITE AS WELL AS HER CAMPUS SECURITY MANAGERS AND MONITORS.

WE ALSO ACTIVELY INVITE LOCAL FIRST RESPONDERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE TABLETOP ACTIVITIES. SO THAT IN AN EVENT HAVING TO LEAN ON THAT RESOURCE IS NOT THE FIRST TIME OR INTERACTING WITH THE SIMULATED EXERCISES BOLSTER CONFIDENCE, REINFORCE BEST PRACTICES AND PROVIDE SKILLS THAT CAN HELP MITIGATE EMERGENCIES DURING THE CRITICAL EARLY STAGES BEFORE FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVE ON SCENE. SAFETY AND SECURITY OPERATIONS CONTINUE TO PARTNER WITH THE OFFICE OF SAFE SCHOOLS TO LEVERAGE BEST PRACTICES IMPLEMENTED TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND ENSURE THE DISTRICT REMAINS FULLY AWARE OF EMERGING PRACTICES AND NEW WAYS TO PROTECT STUDENTS, STAFF AND VISITORS ON CAMPUS. WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE MY NEWEST MEMBERS OF THE TEAM, MY CABINET TEAM IN THE SECURITY EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS MR. JANIE ALBERTI.

[APPLAUSE] >> WHILE THE BOARD APPROVED HIM ON APRIL 19, TODAY IS HIS SECOND OFFICIAL DAY ON THE JOB.

WE ARE VERY, VERY EXCITED THAT HE HAS JOINED US TO LEAD THIS VITAL DIVISION. AND ALSO WITH ME TONIGHT IS THE HEAD OF THE SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE UNIT CHIEF CRAIG KOWALSKI. I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY REMAINS A TOP PRIORITY OF BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS THE LEVEL OF SECURITY WE CAN PROVIDE IN OUR SCHOOLS TODAY IS LARGELY DUE TO THE 2018 VOTER APPROVED RAPTOR RUN FROM WILL SUNSET IN JUNE 2023.

THE REFERENDUM WAS INSTRUMENTAL TO FUNDING OVER 500 SCHOOL SAFETY PERSONNEL AND MORE THAN 100 MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WHILE PROVIDING APPROXIMATELY $82 MILLION ANNUALLY AND THE COMPENSATION SUPPLEMENTS FOR TEACHERS AND OTHER ELIGIBLE STAFF. BROWARD COUNTY VOTERS WILL HAVE

[00:10:03]

A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE OF AS TO WHY ARE YOU GOING FROM A HALF MILL TO A FULL MILL, THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND. AS IT IS RIGHT NOW IF WE WERE TO RENEW EVEN AT THE HALF MILL, 20% OF THE FUNDS HAVE TO GO TO ALL CHARTER SCHOOLS WHICH WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE TO DO.

ONLY A SELECT NUMBER OF CHARTER SCHOOLS DO WE HAVE TO SHARE THE FUNDS WITH AUTOMATICALLY IT WOULD BE A DECLINE IN FUNDING.

SECONDLY, THE REASON IS FRANKLY SPEAKING WE ARE ALSO -- OUR QUALITY STAFF IS BEING PICKED UP BY HER SURROUNDED IN NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS AND PALM BEACH COUNTY TO HAVE A ONE MILL AND IN DADE COUNTY THAT .75 BUT THERE ALSO FIXING TO RENEW.

BOTH OF THEM CAN ATTRACT AND RETAIN OUR QUALITY TEACHERS FOR ONE TEAM FOR OUR CHILDREN AND STAFF BUT ALSO TO BE MARKET COMPETITIVE. TO SECURE THE NEXT GENERATION REFERENDUM WILL BE ON THE AUGUSN BALLOT ENDING FINAL APPROVAL.

IF VOTERS CHOOSE ONCE AGAIN TO INVEST IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND APPROVED THE REFERENDUM THE DISTRICT CAN MAINTAIN THIS CRITICAL SAFETY AND HEALTH SERVICES THAT THEY FOCUS ON PROVIDING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO STUDENTS IN A SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND ALLOWING THE DISTRICT TO COMPETE WITH LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS. WITH THAT I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU THIS EVENING AND TO SHARE SOME OF THE GREAT WORK UNDERWAY WITH THE DISTRICTS. AYE FORGOT ONE IMPORTANT DETAIL, I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF CONFUSION BETWEEN OUR BOND PROGRAM AND A REFERENDUM PROGRAM AND WHAT I'M REFERENCING IS A REFERENDUM WHICH HAS BEEN AUDITED IN THE COMPLETE CLEAN

BILL OF HEALTH. >> TAKTHANK YOU VERY MUCH DOCTOR CARTWRIGHT. OPEN IT UP TO ANYBODY WHO MIGHT HAVE SOME QUESTIONS? I KNOW BOB IS GOING TO HAVE QUESTIONS. COMMISSIONER BREYER GO-AHEAD.

>> DOCTOR CARTWRIGHT THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND ALL YOUR STAFF AND THE PRINCIPLES FOR COMING OUT.

WE ARE FACING SOME ISSUES AS WE TALKED ABOUT WITH SOME OF THE OTHER SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND THE GROWTH IN CORAL SPRINGS AND SOME OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IS HAVING AN IMPACT ON OUR SCHOOLS. I JUST HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU. WE KNOW THE WAY OUR BOUNDARY THROUGH MSC EXTENDS DOWN TO CORAL SPRINGS UNIVERSITY CORRIDOR DOWN TO THE PARK. CORAL SPRINGS IS IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW BUILDING OUT A DOWNTOWN AREA THAT WILL INCLUDE ALMOST 2000 APARTMENTS WHERE RESIDENTS IF YOU WILL.

ARE WE STARTING THE PROCESS OF VISITING AND LOOK AT THE BOUNDARY CHANGES, I KNOW THE ANSWER IS YES BUT HOW DOES THE PROCESS GO FOR RESIDENTS TO NO SINCE I CAME HERE EVEN AS THE INTERIM ONE OF THE THINGS I BROUGHT TO THE BOARD WAS SAYING WE HAVE TO RIGHTSIZING DISTRICT. I'M DOING MY RESEARCH AND I FOUND TYPICALLY LARGE URBAN DISTRICTS LIKE OURS DO BOUNDARY CONVERSATIONS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS IS A NORMAL THING.

HOWEVER, I'M FINDING WE HAVE HAD THAT CONVERSATION SINCE 2015 OR 16. THE PROCESS OF WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE TYPICALLY WITHIN MY DEPARTMENT, WHAT THEY DO FIRST THEY WILL BE COMING UP WITH RECOMMENDATIONS, THEY WILL HAVE OPTIONS AS YOU MIGHT SAY. WE LOOK AT IT FROM A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WAYS WERE TAKING A LOOK AT IT HOW DOES THAT SHIFT WHAT IS THE IMPACT FOR EACH OPTION, HOW DOES IT CHANGE THE DEMOGRAPHICS, IS IT HITTING ANY SPECIAL PROGRAM THAT MAY EXIST OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. ONCE THEY CREATE A FEW OPTIONS, THEN THEY BRING IT TO MY CABINET AND THE REASON IT IS WITH MY CABINET WE WANT ALL EYES ON IT. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT

[00:15:01]

OFTEN TIMES IT GOES BEFORE THE BOARD TO SAY THESE ARE THE OPTIONS WE ARE CONSIDERING AND THEY WERE GONNA GO OUT TO THE COMMUNITY WITH THE OPTIONS TO GET COMMUNITY FEEDBACK TO FIND OUT WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY VOICE WE BRING THAT BACK TO THE BOARD WITH THE FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY AND THE BOARD MAKES A DECISION AS TO WHICH OPTION THEY WOULD LIKE TO SELECT.

THAT IS THE PROCESS. IN A NUTSHELL, THERE IS A LOT OF NUANCE BUT IN THE LARGE PICTURE THAT IS THE PROCESS.

THAT PROCESS TAKES A YEAR TO DO. THAT IS SOMETHING I'M INTENDING TO START THE CONVERSATION NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

>> WE HAVE SOME PROJECTS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND THAT INCLUDE RESIDENTIAL OR REMAIN RESIDENTIAL. I IMAGINE THERE IS RECEPTIVE TO BEING IN THOSE. I KNOW THE SCHOOL BOARD HAS REPORTED THEY'RE NOT PLANNING TO BUILD ANY SCHOOLS IN THIS AREA FOR THE TIME BEING. ANY NEW SCHOOLS, THERE'S DEVELOPER FUNDING THAT CAN HELP EXPAND ESPECIALLY THE BOTTLENECK SEEMS TO BE THE MIDDLE SCORE HIGH SCHOOL WITH REGARDS TO THAT. IARE YOU RECEPTIVE TO THAT?

>> I'M LOOKING FOR A VARIETY OF OPPORTUNITIES WE KNOW THERE MAY BE SOME SCHOOLS THAT ARE SIGNIFICANTLY UNDER ENROLLED.

WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE AFFORDABLE LIVING FOR MY STAFF IS CRITICAL.

I THINK WE HAVE TO DO OUT-OF-THE-BOX THINKING AT THIS TIME AND START ADDRESSING THESE DIRE NEEDS.

>> INVENTED THE IDLE DETECTORS BEING RANDOMIZED.

I HEARD FROM A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS THEY DON'T HAVE THE DATA THAT YOU LOOKED AT CAN YOU SHARE WITH US THE RATIONALE THAT THE RANDOMIZED METAL DETECTORS ARE MORE BENEFICIAL OR MORE PREVENTATIVE THAN A FIXED METAL DETECTOR LIKE WE HAVE AT THE AIRPORT WHERE YOU WALK IN AND YOU HAVE TO GET SCANNED NO

MATTER WHAT. >> ON THE FIXED METAL DETECTOR,

HOW LONG ARE THE LINES AT TSA? >> I PRE-CHECK.

>> THE OTHER THING THAT HAPPENS THAT IS ONE RATIONALE.

THE MORE REALISTIC RATIONALE, THERE IS A LOT OF RESEARCH OUT THERE ON THIS. THIS IS THE CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH THAT EXIST. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN YOU HAVE A PERMANENT STRUCTURE AROUND THAT IF THEY ARE INTENT ON BRINGING SOMETHING, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU HAVE A METAL DETECTOR OR NOT THEY DID TO BRING SOMETHING, UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WILL FIGURE OUT A WAY AROUND IT. THE RANDOMIZED APPROACH KEEPS YOU OFF BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN, WHERE, HOW.

IT IS MUCH MORE INTENTIONALITY OF THE RANDOM THAT CAUSES THE STUDENT TO SAY SHOULD I BRING THIS OR SHOULD I NOT.

THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.

>> I'M GOING TO SWITCH AROUND A LITTLE BIT.

VICE MAYOR CUTLER. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

>> DOCTOR CARTWRIGHT THANK YOU FOR COMING WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE UPDATE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE SOME GREAT THINGS ARE GOING ON RELATIVE TO SECURITY.

COMMISSIONER BRIER BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE THAT I WAS INTENDING TO BRING UP, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WES GLADES AND STONEMAN DOUGLAS ARE EITHER 110% OR GREATER IN THEIR CAPACITY RIGHT NOW. WE HERE ALL THE TIME FROM PARENTS AND STUDENTS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TIME TO HAVE A LUNCH HALF OF THE TIME. THERE STANDING IN LINE ABOUT THE TIME THEY GET TO THE END OF THE LINE, THERE'S ONLY ONE LINE INSTEAD OF TWO, I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF PEOPLE IN THE KITCHEN BUT YOU'RE TELLING US YOU'RE NOT TO START THE PROCESS UNTIL THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL YEAR IN THE PROCESS TAKES A YEAR TO GET ACCOMPLISHED. IS THAT WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY.

>> NEXT YEAR'S ON STARTS IN AUGUST.

>> NEXT AUGUST 2023? 222.

>> WOULD LOOK AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AUGUST 2022.

TOWARDS THE BEGINNING IS WHAT MOST OF THE CONVERSATION.

>> THAT CONVERSATION TAKES THE YEAR BEFORE YOUR PRESENTING

STUFF. >> I'M TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS WITH INTENTIONALITY OF THE 202324 SCHOOL YEAR WHATEVER

[00:20:01]

>> I JUST WOULD BE CLEAR FOR US TO UNDERSTAND THE BOUNDARY ISSUES THAT YOU ARE INTENDING TO PUSH FORWARD WILL BE EFFECTIVE

BY THE SCHOOL YEAR 23 - 24. >> THAT IS MY INTENTION, PLEASE UNDERSTAND I AM AT THE WILL OF THE BOARD ON THAT, IT IS NOT MY DECISION TO SUPPORT COLLECTIVE DECISION.

>> THAT'S WHAT I HAD, THANK YOU. >> COMMISSIONER ISROW.

>> THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE POSITION.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE OFF TO GREAT START.

IF YOU CAN GO BACK AND TELL ME THE REASON FOR THE ONE MILL, THERE'S 20% THAT HAS TO GO TO CHARTER SCHOOLS? CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE.

>> IF I MAY MR. SULLIVAN? >> THIS IS STATUTE LANGUAGE THAT WENT OUT TO THE ONE MILL WITH A REFERENDUM COMPARED TO WHERE WE ARE NOW THERE IS A STATUTORY CHANGE THAT OCCURRED.

BECAUSE OF THAT STATUTORY CHANGE THAT IS WHAT IS REQUIRING AT THIS POINT IN TIME WHENEVER A SCHOOL DISTRICT IS OUT FOR A REFERENDUM TO STATUTORILY SHARE IT WITH ALL THE CHARTER STOOLS

WITHIN THAT COUNTY. >> WITH CHARTER SCHOOLS THE BOARD WANTED TO COMMIT TO SHARING THE SAFETY ASPECT WITH THE CHARTER SCHOOLS SO THAT COMES UP ANNUALLY WITH THE CHANGE OF LEGISLATION THAT WE HAVE TO DO A PER STUDENT FOR ALL ASPECTS OF THAT REFERENDUM THAT IS ABOUT $5 MILLION OR 20% OF

THE REFERENDUM. >> IN TERMS, YOU SAID IS BEEN AUDITED, WHAT ARE THE OTHER LARGE EXPENSES THAT THE DISTRICT IS INCURRING ASIDE FROM THE MENTAL HEALTH.

VOTING IN FAVOR OF THE REFERENDUM, WHAT IS OPPORTUNITY.

>> AT THE GET SUPPORT FOR THE COMMUNITY TO REALIZE THOSE BUCKETS THAT WERE RAISING THE FUNDING FOR, TALLAHASSEE HAS NOT HISTORICALLY FUNDED THOSE WE HAVE TO GO TO GENERAL REVENUE OUTSIDE OF THE BUCKET TO COVER OUR TRUE NEEDS.

ABILITY TO COMPETE IN THE REFERENDUM IS ONLY SOURCE OF A ADDITIONAL SOURCE THAT THE BOARD CAN LEVY OUTSIDE OF THE

LEGISLATIVE PROCESS. >> AUDIT.

IS THERE CURRENTLY A SURPLUS OR DEFICIT IN THE BUDGET?

>> BY LAW WE HAVE TO BALANCE OUR BUDGET.

>> FOR EXAMPLE THE REFERENDUM FOR WHATEVER REASON THE 500 SAFETY PERSONNEL THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE 82 MILLION FOR COMPENSATION TO COMPETE WITH OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS, THOSE FINDINGS WOULD GO AWAY AND WE WOULD BE FORCED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS BECAUSE WE CANNOT HAVE THAT DEFICIT TO BALANCE OUR

BUDGET. >> SOME OF THE FINANCING IS GOING TO GO TO THE RETENTION OF QUALITY TEACHERS, THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, PART OF THE NEED FOR THE ONE MILL?

>> THE MAJORITY WOULD GO TOWARDS THAT AREA.

75% OR MORE WOULD GO FOR ATTRACTING, RETAINING QUALITY

STAFF. >> THE LAST QUESTION THAT I HAVE. LAST TIME WE HAD A PRESENTATION DURING THE PANDEMIC A NUMBER OF STUDENTS ARE BEING ENROLLED IN CLASSES OR SCHOOLS IN WHICH THEY PROBABLY SHOULD NOT OF BEEN IN THE PROCESS THAT WE ALL DO AUDIT THAT HAD NOT REALLY BEEN DONE, AND I HAVE STUDENTS AND SCHOOLS WHO PROBABLY SHOULD NOT BE THERE, THEY WERE A SOFTWARE HE WERE UTILIZED TO CHECK THAT DOWN AND ELIMINATE THE CONCERN, HOW FAR ALONG ARE WE IN THE PROCESS.

>> WE ARE MAKING CALLS QUITE FREQUENTLY ON THAT, I'D BE SURPRISED IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED CALLS.

>> I CONFIRM I'VE GOTTEN SEVERAL CALLS THERE ABSOLUTELY

CONDUCTING. >> HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE WE EXPECTING IN PARKLAND? IS THERE AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT WERE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF REMOVAL, OBVIOUS A DEVICE MEASURES.SEE THE CAPACITY MAP AND IT'S QUITE CONCERNING GLARING RED IN A SEA OF PINK AND WHITE.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW I THINK FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE THERE IS A SENSE OF URGENCY ON OUR END AND IT DOESN'T FEEL THAT IT IS THE SAME ON THE DISTRICT SIDE. IT DOES MORE THAN PARKLAND BUT

WERE TRYING TO ADVOCATE FOR US. >> I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.

TO THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WE ON ENROLLED, I DO NOT HAVE THE ANSWER. I MAKE SURE THEY GET AN ANSWER TO SHARE. I THINK BY ACTION YOU ARE SEEING

WE ARE TAKING THIS URGENTLY. >> COMMISSIONER MAYOR.

>> I KNOW WHERE TO GET MY ANSWERS.

[00:25:06]

HERE PARKLAND. >> THEY DESERVE A ROUND OF

APPLAUSE. >> ALONG WITH MR. KING WHO IS A FOUNDING FATHER OF PARKLAND. THE INTERESTING PART OF THE REFERENDUM DOLLARS NONE OF IT GOES TO PRINCIPAL.

IN AUGUST 2 TEACHERS. THEY WORKED TIRELESSLY TO MAKE SURE KIDS ARE GETTING THE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED.

I KNOW OUR BOARD VOTED BUT IS DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY'RE NOT

INCLUDED THE MIX. >> THE GOOD NEWS IS A FEW THINGS, NUMBER ONE THEY HAVE NOT VOTED IF THE REFERENDUM IS ACCESSIBLE. WHAT THAT MAY POTENTIALLY LOOK LIKE, HOWEVER, THE REFERENDUM LANGUAGE IS WORDED IN SUCH A MANNER TO WHERE IF THE BOARD WANTED TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION

THEY COULD. >> THAT IS MY PENNY SALES TAX.

BUT I WANT TO THINK MR. SULLIVAN HE HAS BEEN THERE ANYTIME I NEED TO REACH OUT TO HIM HIS BEEN AVAILABLE, RESPONSIVE AS WELL AS CRAIG CRAIG HAS BEEN HERE IN PARKLAND IN A PREVIOUS LIFE BUT IS BEEN RESPONSIVE. ESPECIALLY AFTER FEBRUARY 14, JUST A RESPONSE THAT WE GOT FROM THE DISTRICT TO HELP SUPPORT THERE WERE SOME ROCKY ROADS AND SOMETHING THAT WE FOUND BUT AGAIN I THINK THE DISTRICT IS MOVING FORWARD AND IDENTIFYING THOSE ISSUES AND MAKING SURE THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN AT ANY SCHOOL IN BROWARD COUNTY AND HOPEFULLY NOWHERE ELSE.

THAT IS THE GOAL, THANK YOU. >> WELL SAID, EVERYONE'S ALREADY ASKED THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD AND I APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT WE HAD EARLIER TODAY. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND THANK YOU PRINCIPLES. I GUESS THAT IS IT FOR US.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH MAYOR. >> WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO PUBLIC

WILL YOU, OR CAN YOU PLEASE. >> THE LAST I CHECKED.

BEFORE I READ THIS RECOGNITION OR PROCLAMATION, I MIGHT AS WELL TALK ABOUT THIS REALLY QUICK. DID I PRINTED OUT? YES, I DID I PRINTED IT OUT. BEFORE I READ THIS PROCLAMATION I WANT TO ALSO MENTION THAT OUR CITY WAS DESIGNATED AS A 2022 TOP WORKPLACE. WE SHOULD BE -- WE ARE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THE DESIGNATION. OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF THAT IS DUE TO NANCY'S LEADERSHIP. WITHOUT THE HARD WORK OF ALL OF THE STAFF. IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO GET THIS RECOGNITION. WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO THE CITY.

WITH THAT BEING SAID I WILL READ THIS PROCLAMATION.

CELEBRATED ANNUALLY DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY SINCE 1985, PUBLIC SERVICE RECOGNITION WEEK IS TIME SET ASIDE TO HONOR THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE OUR NATION AS FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. MANY PUBLIC SERVANTS INCLUDING MILITARY PERSONNEL, POLICE OFFICERS, FIREFIGHTERS, BORDER PATROL OFFICERS, EMBASSY EMPLOYEES, TRANSIT WORKERS, HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND OTHERS RISK THEIR LIVES EACH DAY IN SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD. DAY AND DAY OUT OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS PROVIDE THE DIVERSE SERVICES DEMANDED BY THE PEOPLE OF OUR NATION WITH THE DEFICIENCY AND INTEGRITY.

WITHOUT THESE PUBLIC SERVANTS AT EVERY LEVEL CONTINUITY WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE IN A DEMOCRACY REGULARLY CHANGES ITS LEADERS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS. BE IT RESOLVED I'M A RICH WALKER IN THE CITY COMMISSION HEREBY PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF MAY 1, 2022 AS PUBLIC SERVICE RECOGNITION WEEK.

[APPLAUSE] >> MENTAL ILLNESS AFFECTS THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, BEHAVIORS AND GENERAL INTERACTION WITH

[00:45:01]

46000 PEOPLE DIED BY SUICIDE IN THE UNITED STATES.

12.2 MILLION ADULTS SERIOUSLY THOUGHT ABOUT SUICIDE.

3.2 MILLION MADE A PLAN AND 1.2 MILLION ADULTS ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. EARLY IDENTIFICATION AND TREATMENT CAN MAKE A PROFOUND DIFFERENCE IN SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF MENTAL ILLNESS AND RECOVERY.

EVERY CITIZEN AND COMMUNITY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN HELPING IN THE SILENCE AND THE STIGMA THAT FOR TOO LONG HAS SURROUNDED MENTAL ILLNESS AND DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM SEEKING HELP.

PUBLIC EDUCATION CAN ENCOURAGE MENTAL HEALTH AND HELP PROVIDE THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AFFECTED BY MENTAL ILLNESS. BE IT RESOLVED, I MAY RICH WALKER IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND, CITY COMMISSION HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF MAY AS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH.

>> ARE THERE ANY REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE EAGLES HAVEN HERE?

CAN YOU COME ON UP. >> I DID NOT SEE YOU JEANETTE.

[APPLAUSE] >> ONE MORE TIME.

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

>> WERE GOING TO GET BACK ON TRACK.

I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S PATIENCE.

WE'RE HERE TO LISTEN TO THAT. BEFORE WE DO THAT THERE IS A TOWN HALL LAST WEEK THAT I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO SPEAK WITH THE SUNSHINE COMMISSIONER BRIER BEING THAT HEARING DAY, HIS DISTRICT, IT IS HIS RIGHT TO MAKE SURE YOU HEAR FROM HIM FIRST BECAUSE HE IS YOUR DIRECT REPRESENTATIVE.

WE ALL REPRESENT THE CITY OF PARKLAND AT LARGE.

THE WAY THAT WE OPERATE EACH COMMISSIONER MUST LIVE IN A SPECIFIC DISTRICT TO RUN IN THAT DISTRICT.

THEY OBVIOUSLY GET SPECIAL RECOGNITION AND THOSE PARTICULAR DISTRICTS. HEARING DAY BEING COMMISSIONER BRIER'S DISTRICT, WHEN YOU HAVE A TOWN HALL, IT'S HIS OPPORTUNITY IN HIS RIGHT TO SPEAK AT THAT TOWN HALL.

I APPRECIATED THE BOARD FOR HAVING NOT IN COMMISSIONER AND VICE MAYOR JOSHUA SIMMONS WAS AT THAT MEETING.

I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT POTENTIALLY WILL COME WITH HERON BAY.

I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE MEETING WERE IN SID WAS STRICTLY PICKING A BENDER DEVELOPER CONTRACTOR, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT TO NEGOTIATE FOR THE SALE OF THE LAND.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AT THAT POINT IS WHOMEVER IS CHOSEN BY AN SID HAS BECOME BEFORE THE CITY OF PARKLAND AND THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS. NOTHING IN WAY OF CONSTRUCTION, WEATHERBY RETAIL OR RESIDENTIAL CAN OR WILL BE APPROVED BY NSID.

THE PROPOSALS THAT YOU ALSO ALL WERE CONCEPTUAL DRAWINGS.

NONE OF THEM HAVE COME TO US IN ACCURATE DETAIL, SPECIFIC SQUARE FOOTAGE, SPECIFIC RESTAURANTS, SPECIFIC WHATEVER.

[00:50:02]

WE ARE WORKING OFF THE SAME INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE.

I WANT TO TELL YOU A FEW THINGS ABOUT HOW THE PROCESS HAS WORKED AND HOW IT'S GONE FORWARD AND HOW IT WILL GO FROM THIS POINT ON. THIS IS THE SECOND RFP THAT NSID HAS DONE. THE FIRST RFP HAD RETAIL ALL OF THE DOGLEG, WE HEARD THE RESIDENTS OF HERON BAY.

YOU SPOKE UP ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT YOU HAD SPECIFICALLY WITH THAT AREA. THE NEXT GO AROUND, THAT RETAIL AREA AND DOG LAKE WAS REPLACED BY RESIDENTIAL HOMES.

YOUR CONCERNS, YOUR QUESTIONS AND YOUR WHATEVER WERE HEARD PRE-WE WILL CONTINUE TO LISTEN AND WORK WITH THE RESIDENTS OF HERON BAY AND WORK WITH YOUR BOARD.

MARK IS DOING A FANTASTIC JOB. AND CORAL SPRINGS.

THE UNFORTUNATE PART ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS WE AS A CITY OF PARKLAND DO NOT CONTROL ALL OF IT.

PARKLAND AND CORAL SPRINGS WHILE OUR SIMILAR, WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT MEANS AND DESIRES. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT CORAL SPRINGS WOULD LIKE TO SEE OUR DIFFERENT THAN WHAT PARKLAND WOULD LIKE TO SEE. I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO WHAT CORAL SPRINGS WOULD LIKE TO SEE OR HOW THEY WOULD ACT IN CERTAIN LAND THAT THEY OWN. BUT I WILL MENTION ON THE CORNER OF UNIVERSITY AND SAMPLE, THERE CAN POTENTIALLY BE 2000 APARTMENTS. RIGHT? WITH THIS PROPERTY WE HAVE TO TAKE EVERYTHING INTO CONSIDERATION. I WANT TO BE CLEAR WITH MY STANCE. A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY HE'S PRO-BUSINESS, HE'S PRO-BUSINESS HE WANTS TO DO THIS.

YOU ARE RIGHT I AM PRO-BUSINESS. I AM THE MAYOR OF PARKLAND.

IT IS MY JOB TO SUPPORT ALL OF HER BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. SO YES, I GO OUT AS OFTEN AS I CAN TO PROMOTE OUR BUSINESSES. DO I WANT TO SEE THEM ALL IN MY BACKYARD? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I'M ANTIBUSINESS.

I WANT TO BE CLEAR WITH THAT. ANOTHER POINT I WOULD BE VERY CLEAR ON. I MET WITH SEVERAL RESIDENTS OVER TIME. WHETHER FROM HEARING DAY OR WHATEVER. EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION ON WHAT SHOULD GO THERE AND WHAT CAN BE THERE.

WHAT I AM CLEAR ABOUT. I HAVE TWO MAIN CONCERNS SCHOOLS AND TRAFFIC. I DO NOT HAVE A CONCERN, OR ONE OF MY TOP PRIORITIES IS NOT REVENUE.

IT IS SCHOOLS AND TRAFFIC. I HAVE FIVE CHILDREN IN THE PARKLAND SCHOOL SYSTEM. I HAVE FOUR AFTER THIS YEAR.

MY OLDEST IS GOING TO COLLEGE READ BUT I STILL HAVE FOUR.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT MY CHILDREN IT IS ABOUT EVERYONE'S CHILDREN AND IT IS ABOUT PROPERTY VALUES PREDICT ABOUT YOUR HOME VALUES.

THOSE ARE SACRED TO ME AS THE MAYOR OF PARKLAND IT IS PARAMOUNT THAT I DO EVERYTHING THAT I CAN TO ENSURE YOUR HOME VALUE INCREASES YEAR AFTER YEAR. THERE IS DIFFERENT WAYS TO GO ABOUT THAT. SOME MAY OR MAY NOT AGREE WITH THE DECISIONS I MAKE BUT THEY ARE NOT JUST MY DECISIONS.

I TALKED TO RESIDENTS. I AM OUT MY PHONE NUMBER IS 97339 0 1453. MY E-MAIL IS OUR WALKER AT CITY OF PARKLAND.ORG. IF ANYONE HAS CALLED ME OR E-MAILED ME I GUARANTEE YOU THEY WILL TELL YOU I CALLED YOU BACK WITHIN HOURS IF NOT SOONER AND I RESPONDED TO YOUR E-MAIL WITHIN AN HOUR. I TAKE THIS JOB EXTREMELY

[00:55:06]

THE DECISIONS I MAKE ARE BASED ON WHAT I HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY. I HAD TO TAKE EVERYTHING THAT I HEAR AND TRY TO FORMULATE THAT INTO WHAT I THINK IS THE BEST OF EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE. I TAKE BOTH IN MY MIND THIS PERSON IS TELLING ME THIS, THIS PERSON IS TELLING ME THAT.

I NEED TO PUT THAT TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH THE BEST SOLUTION WE CAN COME UP WITH. THIS SITUATION IS COMPLEX.

NSID DID AFFORD THIS TO MOVE ON FOR 31 DAYS.

WITHIN THOSE 30 DAYS WE HAVE AN OPTION OR AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE THE DISCUSSIONS. WE HAVE TO CONTINUE THOSE DISCUSSIONS IN A POSITIVE CONSTRUCTIVE WAY.

TELLING PEOPLE THINGS THAT ARE NOT ACCURATE, KNOWINGLY DOING THAT AS A DISSERVICE TO RESIDENTS AND A DISSERVICE TO US. I AM IN OPEN BOOK.

YOU WON'T GET MANY PEOPLE THAT COME APPEAR THAT SAY AYE DO BELIEVE THERE COULD BE COMMERCIAL THERE, OUR SCHOOLS CANNOT AFFORD, STONEMAN DOUGLAS 988 STUDENTS OVER ENROLLED.

WEST GLADES IS 254 STUDENTS OVER ENROLLED.

YOU HEARD DISPARATE INTENDED TODAY.

WE'VE ALL BEEN TALKING TO THE SCHOOL BOARD TO TRY TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO HELP BALANCE THE SCHOOLS.

THEY ARE WORKING ON THAT BUT THAT IS BECAUSE WE AS A COLLECTIVE BODY PUSH THAT. NOT BECAUSE WE WANT BUSINESS BECAUSE AGAIN WE ARE TRAINED TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THAT BEING SAID, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AT THIS POINT, THERE ARE 30 DAYS, THERE IS GOING TO BE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE HERON BAY HOA.

WITH CITY STAFF OF PARKLAND AND CORAL SPRINGS.

THERE WILL BE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE EAST COAST AND TOLL BRO BROTHERS. BOTH OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE.

BUT WE HAVE TO BE CONSTRUCTIVE, PROACTIVE AND REALISTIC.

I THINK WE WOULD LIKE TO STAY CLEAN.

YOUR PRESIDENT OF HOA, CORAL SPRINGS, EVEN SOME RESIDENTS WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME MIX OF COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL WHICH WILL HELP THE SCHOOLS, WHICH WILL HELP PEOPLE TO DO THINGS, REVENUE, IT IS NOT JUST THE CITY OF PARKLAND BUT IT'S ALSO THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS. IF WE DO NOT WORK TOGETHER CORAL SPRINGS WILL GO INTO THEIR OWN THING.

WHAT THAT OWN THING IS, I DON'T KNOW BUT I DON'T WANT TO GUESS.

WE HAVE TO TRY TO STAY WORKING AS A TEAM, WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER PROACTIVELY AND CONSTRUCTIVELY MAKING UP STO STORIES, MAKING THINGS LIKE THE SKY IS FALLING, THAT IS NOT GOING TO GET US TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO FAIL ON M% WATCH. ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOT.

ONE THING I PRIDE MYSELF IN, I'VE DONE A LOT OF THINGS IN MY 49 YEARS. FAILING IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

WILL ALL OF YOU BE HAPPY, NO. WILL MOST OF YOU BE HAPPY, I BELIEVE THAT COULD HAPPEN. WITH THAT BEING SAID ANYONE WHO IS HERE TONIGHT, WE ARE HAPPY TO HEAR FROM YOU TODAY.

UNDERSTAND THIS WE HAVEN'T VOTED ON ANYTHING BUT WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS AT STRATEGIC PLANNING AND I FEEL COMFORTABLE SAYING NO ONE WANTS A MALL. NO ONE.

THERE WILL BE NO MALL AND HEARING DAY.

IF YOU WANT TO COME UP AND SPEAK, GIVE US CONSTRUCTIVE

I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT FOR FIVE YEARS I GREW UP IN SOUTH FLORIDA I LIVED HERE SINCE THE MID-70S AND CORAL SPRINGS, I ENJOYED PLAYING LITTLE LEAGUE ON THE BEST FIELD THAT YOU COULD HAVE COACHING BASEBALL TEAMS, FOOTBALL TEAMS, BASKETBALL TEAMS NOW I AM A RESIDENT OF PARKLAND. WHEN I TRAVEL TO PARKLAND.

BEFORE I LIVE HERE I WOULD TO THE BEST FIELD THAT PARKLAND HAS COMPARED TO OTHER PLACES WHERE THERE IS CORAL SPRINGS, TAMARACK OR WHATNOT. I KNOW WITH COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT I'VE SEEN OVER THE YEARS AND CORAL SPRINGS, BUT WHEN SPARK IS TERRIBLE IT'S NOT WHAT IT WAS WHEN I PLAYED ON THOSE FIELDS. I WOULD HATE TO SEE MY SON WHO PLAYED IN THE PARKLAND FIELDS AND PLAYING AT STONEMAN DOUGLAS IS WHETHER HIS KIDS WILL HAVE. THOUGH I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID.

THE MUCH COMMERCIAL THE BOTTOM AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A HAPPY MEDIUM BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL IN THE SMALL CLOSET WITH UPSCALE IF POSSIBLE. TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T BECOME CORAL SPRINGS I WORKED FOR CORAL SPRINGS FOR 25 YEARS AND IS GONE DOWNHILL TREMENDOUSLY. WITH ALL THE APARTMENTS IS GOING TO BE A DISASTER. THE SCHOOLS ARE OVERCROWDED I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT I KNOW YOU SPOKE TO THEM TODAY ABOUT THE BOUNDARIES, WE HAVE TO ENFORCE IT.

I KNOW WITH WORKING WITH THE KIDS EVERY DAY THERE IS SO MANY FAMILIES THAT DO NOT LIVE IN OUR BOUNDARIES THAT USES SCHOOLS AND PARKLAND. PLEASE GET ON THEM ABOUT THAT AND CONSIDER THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT CAN HURT OUR BEAUTIFUL FIELDS THAT WE HAVE. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> JOSÉ.

>> VICKI. GOOD EGOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

TONIGHT I SAW ALL OF THESE AWARDS BEING GIVEN.

I SAID THAT IS WHY MY WIFE AND I 20 PLUS YEARS MOVED TO PARKLAND.

THE COMMUNITY, THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY THAT IS SHOWN HERE IS WHAT ATTRACTED US HERE TO MOVE TO PARKLAND.

TO THE EXTENT THAT WE ARE LIVING ON OUR THIRD PARKLAND HOME.

WHEN WE CHOSE TO SELL WE SAID NO, WE ARE STAYING HERE.

WE HAD A 1-YEAR-OLD SON WHO LOVES PARKLAND.

[01:05:03]

ASK THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER, CORAL SPRINGS HAS SOME CHALLENGES.

THOSE CHALLENGES, WITH MALLS AND OTHER ITEMS THAT I WOULD LIKE NOT TO SEE AND PARKLAND. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO NOT CONTROL THE CORAL SPRINGS SIDE BUT IF THERE IS ANYWAY WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO KEEP IT AS SMALL AS POSSIBLE TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY, THE SENSE OF RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY THAT PARKLAND IS. I WOULD PERSONALLY LOVE IT.

I'M SURE MY WIFE WOULD LOVE IT. IN MANY OF THE RESIDENTS MIGHT AGREE WITH ME. THANK YOU TO ALLOW US TO SPEAKER

TODAY. >> THANK YOU.

>> ELLIOTT ROTHBERG. >> MAYOR WALKER, VICE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

I WANT TO THANK YOU COMMISSIONER BRIER AND MAYOR WALKER FOR ATTENDING THE TOWN HALL AS WELL AS TODAY'S MEETING AT NSAID I THINK WERE CLOSE TO BEING ON THE SAME PAGE AND I ALSO WANT TO THINK THE RESIDENTS THAT ATTENDED THE MEETING AT NSID AS WELL AS BEING HERE TONIGHT. I THANK YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOW HEARING A LOT OF VOICES. THEY GIVE A VERY GOOD IDEA OF WHERE WERE AT AND WHERE AS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE COME FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF NO DEVELOPMENT OR MAYBE RESIDENTIAL, I DO UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU LOOKING FOR A MIX, CLEARLY WANT TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF SCHOOLS THAT COULD BE DONE BY A LOW DENSITY HIGHER END HOMES SO WE STILL HAVE SOME RESIDENTIAL BUT A MINIMAL IMPACT. VERY SMALL COMMERCIAL AS YOU TALKED ABOUT, RESTAURANTS IN A FEW CURATED SHOPS.

WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF EMPTY SPACES IN THE COMMENTS IN THE SHOPS ALONG 441. WE HAVE TO BE COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT IT IS NOT LIKE WE ARE AT CAPACITY THERE WE NEED TO KEEP THEM INTO CONSIDERATION I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ON THIS. I APPRECIATE THAT YOU RECOGNIZE, CLEARLY AT THE NSID MEETINGS THAT HARINGEY HOA HAS A SIGNIFICANT STAKE AS ENROLLED IN THE CHOICE OF WHAT GOES FORWARD.

AND I UNDERSTAND THE CITY HAS THEIR ROLE WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING AND APPROVAL OF WHAT GOES ON IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND AND CORAL SPRINGS BUT WITH THE RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AS WELL AS ACCESS. HERON HAS A SIGNIFICANT VOICE AND I APPRECIATE THAT YOU RECOGNIZE THAT.

AS I SAID WILL LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU AND SEE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT WORKS FOR EVERYBODY.

>> THANK YOU. >> MARTY W.

>> MARK. >> MY BOARD IS PASSING, THAT IS GOOD. MY NAME IS MARK.

I LIVE IN CORAL SPRINGS. SORRY GUYS, I AM THE PRESIDENT OF HERON BAY. I JUST WANT TO MERE MAYOR WALKER. YOU AND I HAD A LOT OF MEETINGS.

I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYBODY COMING OUT BECAUSE WE NEED MORE INPUT FROM RESIDENTS. I THINK TODAY.

I DID NOT EXPECT THE NSID TURN OUT TO BE WHAT IT TURNED OUT.

I THINK WE'VE BEEN GIVEN A GIFT AND WE HAVE 30 DAYS HERE TO TRY TO PUT TOGETHER -- WILL BRING MARTY SINCE HE DID NOT SPEAK, WE

[01:10:01]

I WORKED WITH YOU GUYS A LOT AND WE ARE MORE OR LESS ON THE SAME PAGE. THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE, WE ALL KNOW THIS. IT'S GOOD TO BE THE DEVELOPER AND FIND YOU THE DEVELOPER THAT WILL DO THE SKILL THAT WE WANT.

WE WANT A FEW HOUSES, WE WANT A HIGH-CLASS COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT IS FOR PARKLAND AND PARKLAND RESIDENTS.

WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE COMING OFF THE SAWGRASS.

ANYWAY I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU GUYS.

I AGREE WITH YOU ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND STUFF, YOU'VE GOTTA BE CAREFUL. NEXT DOOR AND EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU. >> JAMES BARON.

>> GOOD EVENING I NAME IS JAMES BARON I LIVE IN HERON BAY AND I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT OF PARKLAND FOR NINE YEARS WITH MY WIFE.

I HAVE LIVED IN FLORIDA COMING UP 40 YEARS THIS COMING JULY 4.

I HAVE LIVED IN MANY PLACES IN BROWARD COUNTY.

IOWA'S NEW AND I ALWAYS HEARD THAT THE CITY OF PARKLAND WAS BEAUTIFUL. IT IS THAT WAY TODAY.

THAT IS WHY WHEN MY WIFE AND I LIVED IN BOCA.

OUR NEXT MOVE WAS HERE AND SHE SAID LET'S FIND A REALLY NICE PLACE TO LIVE. THAT HAS VERY LITTLE COMMERCIAL, VERY RESIDENTIAL AND SAFE. GUESS WHAT I SAID PARKLAND IS THE PLACE. PARKLAND HAS ALL OF THE ABOVE INDISPUTABLE AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE SCREENS THAT YOU ARE SHO SHOWING. WHO WOULD WANT TO CHANGE THESE VIEWS? I AM PERSONALLY OPPOSED TO ANY COMMERCIAL TO COME INTO THE AREA.

WE HAVE PLENTY AROUND THE AREA. WE HAVE CORAL SPRINGS AND THE LAST THING THAT WE NEED, THE PEOPLE WILL COME OFF.

THE LAST SPEAKER SAID COME OFF THE EXPRESSWAY.

THEY WILL COME OFF THE EXPRESSWAY, LET'S NOT KID OURSELVES. THE ONLY PEOPLE ACROSS THE PARKLAND LINE ARE 99% VISITING OTHER FAMILIES OR WERE RESIDENTS. WHY CHANGE IT.

I WAS AT THAT MEETING TODAY, AT THE NSI MEETING AND I HEARD 99.9% OF EVERYBODY SAYING NO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, PERIOD.

DO SOMETHING HIGH-CLASS, AND APPROBATION LIKE COLD BROTHERS.

I LIVED IN GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB, THEY ARE FIRST CLASS, SECOND TO NONE, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, THEY'RE NOT A SMALL COMPANY, THEY ARE NATIONWIDE.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME AND I HOPE WE CAN KEEP THESE VIEWS OF THIS BEAUTIFUL PICTURE WITH NO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT

WHATSOEVER. >> THANK YOU.

>> NEIL. >> NEIL BASS?

>> I'M NEIL BASS I LIVE IN PARKLAND HERON DAY.

I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ALL THE PARKLAND I KNOW THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE IN FAVOR OF COMMERCIAL.

BUT I THINK I CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF HERON BAY.

HERON BAY IS ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO A LARGE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG AS I UNDERSTAND IT THE PARKLAND COMMISSION IS DRIVING THE BUS AND YOU GUYS ARE IN FAVOR OF A LARGE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN HERON BAY BECAUSE OF TAX REVENUE. I CHALLENGE THE PARKLAND COMMISSION TO EXPLAIN WHAT THIS MEANS TO THE PARKLAND RESIDENTS AND PLAIN ENGLISH. WHAT THIS MEANS IN TERMS OF

[01:15:05]

AS I UNDERSTAND IT COMES DOWN TO PROPERTY TAXES.

I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND THE PARKLAND RESIDENTS WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS IN TERMS OF AN INCREASE, AN ESTIMATED INCREASE TO THE PROPERTY TAXES IF WE DON'T BUILD A LARGE DEVELOPMENT IN HERON BAY.

AS AN EXTRA HUNDRED DOLLARS A YEAR, $500 YEAR, THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR OR $3000 A YEAR. I POSE THIS QUESTION EARLIER TODAY TO THE NSID BOARD, THEY DID NOT RESPOND DIRECTLY BUT PADEN A BOARD MEMBER 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AS A CITY MANAGER GAVE SOME VERY INTERESTING COMMENTS AT THE END OF THE MEETING TODAY. HE SAID GENERALLY SPEAKING FOR EVERY DOLLAR RAISED IN COMMERCIAL TAX REVENUE IT COST THE CITY A DOLLAR 25. FOR EVERY DOLLAR RAISED IN RESIDENTIAL TAX REVENUE IT COST THE CITY 90 CENTS.

THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I HEARD TO THE STATE.

I'M CURIOUS, DID YOU GET IT BACKWARDS OR IS THIS TRUE? HE IS THE ONE THAT PUSHED AND MADE THE MOTION TO DELAY THE DECISION FOR 30 DAYS. I'M REALLY CURIOUS, IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN IN PLAIN ENGLISH. I HEARD WERE GONNA HAVE INCREASES IN MILLAGE RATES. WANT TO DO IS INCREASE THE MILLAGE RATE. YOU HAVE A RIDE ON YOUR HANDS IF YOU DO. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THIS IS WHY YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUILD A LA LARGE, LARGE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF HERON BAY. FURTHERMORE, SOMETHING UP WITH THE EAST COAST. I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME BUT I GOT A VERY DISTURBING PHONE CALL FROM A PUBLIC OFFICIAL TWO DAYS AGO WHO THREATENED TO SUE ME, HE YELLED AT ME AND VERY ANGRY AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WOULD THAT WAS ABOUT.

>> PETER. >> MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO SPEAK. I DIDN'T REALLY CARE FOR THOSE COMMENTS. I'M USED TO PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TELLING ME THIS ALL MY LIFE HOW TO BEHAVE AND WHAT TO SAY.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SAY WHAT DO WE FEEL AND HOW DO WE FEEL.

SINCE YOU TALKED ABOUT HAVING LITTLE TRUST, IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE LITTLE TRUST IN YOU. MY REPRESENTATIVE, COMMISSIONER YOUR MY REPRESENTATIVE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER I WAS HERE THREE MONTHS AGO. PARKLAND ROYAL.

>> IF YOU REMEMBER THAT YOU WEREN'T JUST GIVING AWARDS TO THE FIREMEN AND THE TEACHERS. I WAS SUPPORTING A WORKFORCE HOUSING. YOU GUYS VOTED FOR RESIDENTIAL HOUSING, 252 HOUSES INSTEAD OF A WORKFORCE HOUSING.

WHEN I ASKED YOU AND I TOLD YOU COMMISSIONER YOU REPRESENT ME THAT THE SCHOOL WAS OVERCROWDED, YOU SAID IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE YOU LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT AND DEVELOPERS PAPERWORK.

REMEMBER THAT CONVERSATION HE SAID IT IS NOT TRUE THERE MUST BE A MISTAKE. I TOLD YOU THE SCHOOL WAS OVERCROWDED. YOU AND I HAD THIS DISCUSSION.

YOU SAID IT IS TOO LATE TO FIX THIS.

BUT NOW YOU ARE SAYING IT IS NOT TOO LATE.

WHAT IS IT THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE.

NOW WE DON'T WANT THE RESIDENTIAL, WE WANT THE COMMERCIAL PART, YOU SAID THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION, YET NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION. YOU HAVE NOT REVIEWED ANY PAPERWORK. YOU'RE IN THE MEETING TODAY, YOU KNOW WHAT WAS DISCUSSED IN THE MEETING, THE FEEDBACK FROM THE CITY OF PARKLAND. THAT WE REVIEW THIS E-MAIL, THIS E-MAIL COMES FROM THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS AND PARKLAND HAVE EXPRESSED TO THE DISTRICT THAT THEY ARE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL PRESENTED BY EAST COAST.

WHO ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE. ARE WE HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS, DID THE CITY ALREADY MAKE UP THEIR MIND? AND FOR SUPPORTING ONE DEVE DEVELOPER.

[01:20:03]

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN ABOUT THE OVERCROWDING IN THE SCHOOL FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

NO ONE WANTED TO LISTEN. NOW BECAUSE WE HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL AND THE REVENUE IN THE RESIDENTIAL.

YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU WANT TO SEE YOUNG FAMILIES.

WHAT HAS CHANGED. LET'S BE HONEST WITH EACH OTHER LET'S NOT CITE WHERE WE NEED TO ADD ANY GIVEN DEVELOPER PROPOSAL. WE WANT TO HAVE TRUST IN YOU BUT YOU NEED TO BE HONEST WITH US. HOW IS IT THAT WE RECEIVE AN E-MAIL FROM AN AGENCY THAT IS TAKING THE BIDS THE SAID WE

ALREADY GOT RECOMMENDATIONS. >> THANK YOU.

>> JEFF. >> HI EVERYBODY I LIVE IN HERON BAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO BE ABLE TO TALK YOU TODAY. I'LL GET CLOSER, IS BETTER.

TO HAVE TO REPEAT EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAID OR WERE OKAY? MR. MAYOR, YOU COMMENTED YOUR PRIMARY GOALS ARE SCHOOLS AND TRAFFIC. THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THEN YOU ADDED ON HOME VALUE IN YOUR CONVERSATION.

THE THING THAT YOU DID NOT INCLUDE WAS SAFETY.

YEAR AFTER YEAR, PARKLAND IS CONSISTENTLY LISTED AS AMONG THE SAFEST CITIES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THAT, THERE IS NO REASON TO BE HERE IF YOU DON'T LIVE HERE OR ARE NOT VISITING SOMEONE WHO LIVES HERE.

AS YOU INCREASE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT WHATEVER CAPACITY WHETHER SMALL OR TO CHANGE THE DYNAMIC. THE SAFE COMMUNITY THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED AND WE HAVE ENJOYED BY MOVING HERE AND CHOSEN FOR OUR FAMILIES IS SIMPLY GOING TO GO AWAY.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONSIDER THAT PIECE OF IT.

I WOULD SAY YOU MENTIONED THAT COMMISSIONER BRIER IS A REPRESENTATIVE FOR HERON BAY. I DO NOT SEE THIS AS A HERON BAY ISSUE. DESPITE THE FACT THAT I LIVE IN HERON BAY. I THINK IT IS A PARKLAND ISSUE.

I WOULD REALLY HOPE MAKING YOUR DECISIONS AND I KNOW ONE OF YOU VERY WELL, WOULD REALLY CONSIDER THAT IN EARNEST IN THE SHIP HAS RESEALED ON THERE BEING NO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

ABSOLUTELY MINIMAL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR

TIME. >> BILLY POLLICK.

>> THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME MY NAME IS BILLY POLLICK I LIVE IN HERON BAY AND THE GREENS. HAS A DOUBLE WHAMMY.

THERE ARE MANY OF US SITTING BACK THERE IN ADDITION TO HAVING TO GO THROUGH WHAT WERE GONNA GO THROUGH WITH YOU.

WE ALSO HAVE 40 ACRES BEHIND OUR HOMES ON THE GOLF COURSE THE NSID HAS DESIGNATED AS A NATURAL PRESERVE.

NOW WERE BEING TOLD THIS COULD BE A MITIGATION AREA AND THEY'RE GONNA STOP MAINTAINING IT AT SOME POINT.

THIS SOME POINT IS REALLY INTERESTING.

I AM A LAWYER AND THEIR RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

EITHER THEY HAVE TO MAINTAIN IT OR THEY DON'T THROUGH 2027 AND THE VERDICT IS OUT. I'M SURE THERE WILL BE LITIGATION THAT NO ONE TALKS ABOUT.

THAT IS NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO I WAS AT THE MEETING THIS AFTERNOON AND I WAS DISMAYED OVER SEVERAL THINGS.

I WAS DISMAYED NUMBER ONE THAT ONE OF THE WOMEN MS. SOLOMON READ HER LETTER THAT OBVIOUSLY SHE HAD PREWRITTEN AFTER LISTENING TO THE AND PASSIONATE VOICES OF 25 - 30 PEOPLE AND OBVIOUSLY NONE OF IT MOVED HER BECAUSE SHE TALKED ABOUT SHE DID NOT WANT TO HAVE TO DRIVE TO BOCA TO HAVE DRINKS AND DINNER AND THEREFORE WE WOULD BE HER DRINK THE DINNER AREA.

IN ADDITION AFTER THAT I WAS ALSO DISMAYED TO TALK TO ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT PERSON FOR NSID. WE HAVE TWO PROPOSALS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT. ONE OF THEM WERE A HUSBAND GOLF

[01:25:01]

ON THE OTHER PROPOSAL FOR THE TOLL BROTHERS.

I MAKING THIS UP, 48 HOUSES, THEY WILL USE THIS EXACT AMOUNT.

ONE PROPOSAL IS BEING HELD TO ITS EXACT WHATEVER THEY PUT IN AND THE OTHER WHEN THEY ARE DISCOUNTING.

THANK YOU FOR SHAKING YOUR HEAD. THERE DISCOUNTING THE THINGS THAT THEY THINK ARE BOTHERING US SO THAT PROPOSAL IS MORE PALATABLE. I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THAT.

I GUESS WHAT I'M HERE TO SAY T WALL.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHERE YOU STAND.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE ATTORNEYS STAND THAT ARE REPRESENTING ANY OF US, YOU OR US. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE PROPERTY BEHIND MY HOME AND I DO NOT WANT TO SEE A BIG COMMERCIAL AREA. THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND YOU'RE ASKING US BUT I WOULD LIKE INPUT FROM YOU AS TO WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE. THANK YOU.

>> BOBBY. >> HELLO EVERYBODY I AM BOBBY, I LIVE IN HERON BAY. IT'S MORE OF A COMMENT I WOULD MAKE ABOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS. EVERYBODY TALKS, YOU TALKED AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT HERON BAY HAS DIFFERENT OPINIONS OF WHAT TO DO WITH THE GOLF COURSE.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOMEOWNERS SAID THE SAME THING.

BUT REALLY, NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE RESIDENTS WANT.

YOU KNOW WHY, NO FORMAL SURVEY WAS EVER DONE BY THE HOMEOWNERS TO SAY, THIS IS WHAT WE LIKE TO DO.

MAYBE WE WANT TO BUY THE PLACE. MAYBE WE WOULD LIKE TO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. HOW MUCH OF A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AT ALL. THEY ARE SITTING THERE CLAIMING THAT THEY KNOW WHAT WE WANT, THEY DON'T.

THEY NEVER PUT A VOTE OUT OF WHAT EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SEE ABOUT THIS. THAT IS ALL I CAN SAY.

THANK YOU. >> ANDRES SANCHEZ.

>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ANDRES SANCHEZ I AM ONE OF THE LAST IN PARKING. I HAVE THREE KIDS.

A LOT OF THE COMMENTS THAT YOU WERE MAKING REALLY IMPACTED ME.

I THINK THE ONE THING THAT COMES TO MIND IS THE CONCEPT OF THE ONE DOOR, TWO WAY DOOR POSITION. I THINK WERE TALKING ABOUT AN AREA THAT IS PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL.

TRYING TO ADD MORE BUSINESS IS GOING TO BRING NEW PROBLEMS THAT WE DON'T HAVE TODAY. PART OF THE OTHER PROBLEM THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SCHOOLS.

I THINK THE PROBLEM WITH THE SCHOOLS YOU HAVE TO START WITH THAT REGARDLESS HERON BAY OR OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT WILL BE GROWING. WILL IT MAKE MORE SENSE TO KEEP IT AS A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, I LIKE A LOT OF THINGS THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT IS STILL A TWO WAY DOOR, YOU'RE NOT ADDING NEW COMPLEXITY TO IT.

WE CAN THINK ABOUT WHAT WE DO THE SCHOOLS AND MANY OTHER SOLUTIONS THAT WE CAN THINK ABOUT.

I JUST TRUST THAT YOU GUYS MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION.

>> THANK YOU. >> MIA.

>> HI, MAYOR WALKER, VICE COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. I PUT SOME NOTES TOGETHER ON MY PHONE BECAUSE I TRY TO GET MY THOUGHTS TOGETHER.

ESSENTIALLY MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN RESIDENTS OF PARKLAND FOR OVER 17 YEARS. WE LIVE IN HERON BAY SIMILAR TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO SPOKE, WE OWNED THE HOUSE FOR 11 YEARS AND WE SOLD IT AND CHOSE TO BUY ANOTHER HOUSE IN HERON BAY.

I DON'T THINK OUR BACKYARD WILL BE AFFECTED I'M TALKING TO THE OVERALL CITY IN MY LOVE OF THE CITY.

WE WERE AT THE NSID MEETING, WE DID HEAR THE BOARD'S COMMENTS, VERBALLY THEY SAY WHAT YOU SAID. YOU DO NOT WANT A LARGE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, YOU DO NOT WANT A MALL IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND, WE APPRECIATE THAT. YOU SAID THE SAME AS THEY'RE

[01:30:04]

THE EAST COAST DOES NOT HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO BRING THEIR ENTER BRING THEIR PLANS TO FOR WISHING PRIMA HAS BEEN SPOKEN AND SID, EARLIER HE HAD BEEN IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FINANCE FOR 30 YEARS, HE HAS CONCERNS ABOUT THE FINANCING AND HOW IS BEEN VETTED. ALL OF THAT IS CONCERNING.

BRINGING ON TO WHAT SOMEBODY ELSE JUST SAID.

AT THE NSID MEETING AND E-MAIL WAS READ OUT LOUD WRITTEN BUYER ASSISTANT MANAGER SAYING THAT YOUR PRIMARY PREFERENCE WAS COMMERCIAL. I WOULD LIKE TO QUESTION YOU THE VICE MAYOR AND THE REST OF THE TEAM WHAT IS TRUE.

IF YOU DO STILL AGREE AND WE WANT TO BELIEVE, THEN WHY WAS THAT E-MAIL READ AND WHY WAS ON WRITING AND WHERE DID THAT COME FROM. WE ALL WANT TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING THAT WE ARE CONCERNED, I AM ENCOURAGED WITH THE 30 DAYS THAT WAS A GOOD START, I THINK WE ALL WERE.

AS A GETTING CLOSER TO AN AGREEMENT WE APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING TO THE SAME PAGE ON THIS.

THESE ARE THE CONCERNS AND THE BURNING QUESTIONS THAT MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE AN A LOT OF US IN THIS ROOM.

>> THE LAST ONE SIGNED UP IS RICHARD DEUTSCH.

>> I'M RICHARD DEUTSCH AND LIVE IN THE GREENS AT HERON BAY.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

I LIVED IN SOUTH FLORIDA SINCE 1947.

LONG BEFORE ANY OF YOU WERE HERE AND SOME OF YOU WERE PROBABLY BORN. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, OPEN SPACE, FRESH AIR AND THEY ARE KILLING IT BIT BY BIT WITH DEVELOPMENT.

YOU CANNOT UN-DEVELOP. AND IF YOU DEVELOP IT'S LIKE A CANCER ALL AROUND US. MORE PEOPLE, MORE DEVELOPMENT AND RUINING THE ENVIRONMENT. RIGHT BEHIND YOU IS IS ENVIRONMENTALLY PROUD. YOU CANNOT TAKE OPEN SPACE AND BUILD ON IT AND KEEP THE ENVIRONMENTALLY PROUD.

I KNOW THERE IS MONEY TO BE GAINED FROM DEVELOPMENT BUT HE GETS THROWN AWAY WITH THE RUINED LIFESTYLE AND AGAIN, INSIDIOUS CANCER OF DEVELOPMENT ON A CITY THAT IS AT MAXIMUM IN SCHOOLS.

IF WE HAVE TO ABSORB, ALL OF US AND INCREASE TO PAY FOR THAT LAND OVER TIME, TO KEEP US ENVIRONMENTALLY PROUD AND TO KEEP OUR LIFESTYLE, YOU'LL NEVER GET IT BACK YOU PUT ONE HOUSE ON ONE PIECE OF OPEN LAND, FORGET ABOUT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE RED FLAG OF WHAT CORAL SPRINGS MIGHT DO.

WE HAVE OUR OWN CITY IN THEIR OWN BOUNDARIES TO PROTECT.

THEY CAN GO TO HELL IF THEY WANT TO AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT.

KEEP US ENVIRONMENTALLY PROUD AND KEEP HER OPEN SPACE.

NOT ONE SINGLE HOUSE IS GOING TO HELP ANY OF US.

THE REVENUE YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOU WILL PAY FOR AND REDUCED LIVING STANDARDS AND WHY WE ARE ALL HERE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LISTENING.

>> THANK YOU. >> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT

WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. >> MARIA.

>> HELLO I AM MARIA I OWN TWO HOUSES.

I BEEN SELLING REAL ESTATE IN HERON BAY FOR 25 YEARS.

THE CITY OF PARKLAND PROMISED 25 YEARS AGO WHEN I STARTED SELLING IN HERON BAY, 5%, NO MORE THAN 5% COMMERCIAL.

NOW IT IS TAKING OVER. ALL OF OUR CARS ARE GETTING

[01:35:01]

NOBODY IS ASKING US OR SENDING US A LETTER OR E-MAIL SAYING FILL OUT WHAT DO YOU THINK. TELL US HOW YOU FEEL.

WE DO NOT WANT IT. CAN YOU HELP US, CAN YOU HELP US, WE DON'T WANT THIS. THERE IS SO MUCH CRIME ALREADY, YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS. ALL OF OUR CARS ARE GETTING BROKEN INTO AT NIGHT. I HAD TO PUT MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AND SO DO A LOT OF PEOPLE.

WE WERE KIDS IN OUR SCHOOLS THAT ARE OVERRUN.

WE DON'T HAVE SPACE FOR ALL OF THIS.

ALWAY GOOD TO BRING IS LESS SAFETY FOR CHILDREN.

THERE WAS AN ATTEMPTED MURDER ON ONE OF HER CHILDREN WHO IS 13 YEARS OLD. IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE MORE PEOPLE HERE. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PROMISE, 95% RESIDENTIAL. WE WILL NEVER BUILD 5% OR MORE HIGHER THAN COMMERCIAL, THAT WAS 25 YEARS AGO WHEN I STARTED SELLING AT HERON BAY. NOW LOOK, IT IS A DISASTER, WE DO NOT WANT IT, HELP US. WE WANT TO PROTECT HER NEIGHBORS, OUR FRIENDS, OUR CHILDREN.

WE DO NOT WANT ALL THESE PEOPLE HERE OVERRUN IN OUR BACK GARDENS. ALL THE PROPERTIES THAT I KNOW ARE ALL LOSING THEIR VALUE. I SELL PROPERTY INHERENT DAY EVERY SINGLE DAY. THESE HOUSES ARE LOSING VALUE MONSTROSITY IN THE BACK GARDEN. IT'S NOT FAIR WHEN I FIRST STARTED SELLING INHERENT DAY I WOULD OFFER WE LIVE ON THE GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY. THE GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY IS NOT STILL BOUGHT HERE SAYING THAT THEY LIVED ON A GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY. PLEASE HELP US, WE NEED HELP WE CAN'T DO IT ON OUR OWN AND WE EXPECT YOU TO SUPPORT US.

IS ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS NON- AGENDA ITEM OR ANY NON- AGENDA. NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME I HAVE BEEN IN HERON BAY 12 YEARS.

I JUST NEED TO ASK SOMETHING, DID SOMEBODY ASK PEOPLE FOR HERON BAY MAYBE THEY NEED TO BUY A PROPERTY.

I JUST CAN'T. WE OFFERED 22 MILLION BECAUSE THE LAST ONE WAS 21. FOR EVERY HOUSEHOLD IT IS 1780 SOMETHING DOLLARS. MAYBE IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US BECAUSE IT IS EASIER FOR US TO MAINTAIN OUR PROPERTY.

THAT IS IT. >> THANK YOU.

>> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS OR

ANY OTHER NON- AGENDA ITEM. >> OF A QUESTIO, I REALLY

SPOKE. >> YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE

MICROPHONE. >> WHAT WAS THE ACTUAL VOTE THAT WAS SENT OUT AND MAYBE THE PRESIDENT OF HERON BAY.

>> YOU CAN ASK MARK THAT QUESTION.

>> MARK, WHAT WAS THAT VOTE FOR? I SAID PLEASE VOTE.

WHAT WAS THAT? >> EXCUSE ME.

THAT WAS A HERON BAY SURVEY SO YOU CAN ASK MARK.

>> I WILL. >> I'M SORRY I THOUGHT WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS BECAUSE IT DID PERTAIN TO THIS.

>> THAT WAS THE HERON BAY SURVEY.

WHY HE SENT IT OUT AND WHO HE SENT IT TO.

>> WHAT IS IT FOR IS WHAT I'M ASKING.

IT WAS A HERON BAY SURVEY THAT MARK CONDUCTED BY THE HERON BAY.

[INAUDIBLE] >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT

HE MAY COME UP AGAIN. >> IS ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE

[01:40:01]

NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

CITY COMMISSION, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, THANK YOU OFFER THE HERON BAY RESIDENTS SHOWING UP MIDDAY THIS EVENING.

I LIVE IN ASPER LAKE. I SIT ON THE HERON BAY BOARD OF DIRECTORS MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS.

THIS IS BEEN AN EXHAUSTING PROCESS.

IT'S A MARATHON NOT A RACE. I WOULD CONVEY HAVING COME FROM A SMALL TOWN IN NEW JERSEY AND BEING ATTRACTED TO THIS PLACE FOR SIMILAR QUALITIES. THE DECISIONS WE COLLECTIVELY MAKE, NOT ONLY HAVE TO BE ULTRA- TRANSPARENT BUT I LOOK AT THIS AS YOUR PUBLIC LEGACY FROM MY CHILDREN TO YOUR COLLECTIVE FAMILIES AND EVERYONE HERE AND THEIR CHILDREN.

I KNOW THEIR PROBLEMS AND THEIR SERIOUS ISSUES GOING ON.

I HOPE COLLECTIVELY WE CAN COLLABORATE AND COME TO A REASONABLE AND THOUGHTFUL DECISION ON WHAT SHOULD GO ON THE GOLF COURSE. BEAR IN MIND IT IS NOT JUST A HERON BAY ISSUE IT IS A CITY OF PARKLAND ISSUE.

YOUR LEGACIES IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR ARE AT STAKE IN HOW WE LOOK AT YOU AND HOW WE RESPECT YOU OR DON'T RESPECT YOU.

NOW IS THE TIME IS THE INFLECTION POINT OF LETTING THINGS GONE SIDEWAYS FOR SO L LONG.

NOW IS THE TIME TO REALLY MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION WITH FULL DISCLOSURE, OPEN TRANSPARENCY WITH AS MUCH COMMUNICATION.

OVER COMMUNICATE WITH WITH THAT OF HER MEANS POSSIBLE WITH PRINTER SOCIAL MEDIA. BEAR IN MIND WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. WITH YOUR VOTER BASE IN YOUR NAME, YOUR NEIGHBORS AND JUST COME TO A DECISION THAT WILL MOVE US INTO THE NEXT DECADE AND BEYOND.

>> THANK YOU. >> IS ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, COME ON DOWN. NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

>> MY NAME IS MARCIA AND I LIVE IN HERON BAY.

I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MY HUSBAND.

WE BOUGHT THERE BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A GOLF COURSE, HE IS A RANGER AT ASBERRY POINT. IT'S ENVIRONMENTALLY AWARD-WINNING COURSE. I KNOW EVEN IF WE DON'T LIVE ON THE GOLF COURSE, YOU HAVE ALL SAID YOU BOUGHT THERE BECAUSE OF THE GREEN SPACE. WHY CAN'T SOME PORTION OF THAT LAND BE DESIGNATED AS A GOLF COURSE.

PART 3 IS A GENTLEMAN THIS AFTERNOON.

SOMEHOW I THANK YOU HAVE A LOT LESS OBJECTIONS FROM MONEY FROM THE RESIDENCE BECAUSE IT'S GREEN SPACE.

THAT'S ALL THEY WANT TO SAY. >> THANK YOU.

>> ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS OR ANY OTHER NON- AGENDA ITEM? WE WILL MOVE TO COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND SINCE YOU ARE THE STAR OF THE SHOW YOU WILL GO

FIRST. >> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THE HERON BAY GOLF COURSE BEFORE I GET INTO THE REST OF MY COMMENTS. MY POSITION ON THIS ISSUE IS VERY SIMPLY I STAND WITH THE RESIDENCE OF PARKLAND AND I STAND WITH THE RESIDENCE OF HERON BAY.

I ALSO AGREE WHAT GOES ON THE GOLF COURSES OF PARKLAND ISSUE NOT JUST A HERON BAY ISSUE. I LIVE IN HERON BAY AND AM RAISING MY FAMILY THERE. A POLICE PARKLAND IT WAS 900 RESIDENTS. I UNDERSTAND THE SMALL TOWN CHARM THAT WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO PRESERVE.

I APPRECIATE UNFORTUNATELY THE GOLF COURSE WILL NOT REMAIN ENTIRELY GREEN SPACE BUT I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO ENSURE ANY DEVELOPMENT, VENTURE COMMUNITY IN HER WONDERFUL CITY.

I CONTINUE TO WORK WITH A HERON BAY HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

THE NSID THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS AND ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS IN THIS PROCESS. I BELIEVE WE NEED TO BE PROACTIVE AND I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR THAT WE NEED TO BE PROACTIVE AND WE CAN'T SIT IDLY BY FOR THE FIVE YEARS REMAINING ON THE COVENANT TO PASS BEFORE WE TAKE ACTION.

SELECTING THE PROPOSAL IS NSID. THE CITY OF PARKLAND HAS SELECTED OR ENDORSED ANY OF THE PROPOSALS THAT HAVE BEEN SET BEFORE HERON BAY. WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE THAT WERE VOTED ON THAT. PREVENTED NOT LIKE ANY OF THE

[01:45:07]

I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS TO BE BUY-IN FROM THE COMMUNITY.

THAT IS WHAT THE HERON BAY BOARD IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THE RESIDENCE AND WHAT WERE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH RESIDENCE OUTSIDE OF HERON BAY AND INSIDE HERON BAY.

I SIT ON THE DAIS WITH FOUR OTHER GENTLEMEN WHO LOVE PARKLAND AS MUCH AS I DO. NONE OF THEM HAS AN INTEREST IN MAXIMIZING OUR TAX REVENUES AT THE SAKE OR AT THE RISK OF DESTROYING OR IN ANY WAY COMPROMISING THE BEAUTY OF OUR COMMUNITY, THE SMALL-TOWN CHARACTER AND CHARM OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS.

THE A RATED SCHOOLS THAT WE MOVE HERE TO ENJOY FOR OUR FAMILY AND KIDS. I SAY UNEQUIVOCALLY ANY CONTENTION TO THE CONTRARY IS FALSE.

I ALSO TELL YOU I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE RESIDENTS FOR COMING OUT NOT ONLY TONIGHT BUT AT THE NSID MEETING EARLIER TODAY.

I THINK IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE RESIDENCE NOT ONLY BE VOCAL BUT WELL-INFORMED. THERE IS A LOT OF MISINFORMATION OUT THERE. THERE IS A LOT OF RED HERRINGS AND SCARE TACTICS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE RESIDENTS ARE INFORMED AND VOICE THEIR OPINIONS.

WE NEED RESIDENTS TO SHOW UP AT THESE COMMISSION MEETINGS REGULARLY. I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE TODAY BUT THERE MANY MEETINGS WHERE WE TALK ABOUT SIGNIFICANT ISSUES IN HERON BAY AND PARKLAND AND OTHER PLACES IN THE CITY THAT DO NOT GET THE ATTENTION AND ENGAGEMENT OF THE RESIDENCE.

I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. ALSO WANT TO TELL YOU I'M COMMITTED TO NOT HAVING A LARGE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE HERON BAY GOLF COURSE. [APPLAUSE] THERE IS AN EFFORT BY YOUR VOLUNTEER HOA BOARD WHO IS WORKING VERY HARD TO HEAR THE RESIDENCE AND LISTEN TO THE RESIDENTS AND GET THEIR OPINION AND THEIR INPUT AND PUT THAT INTO ACTION AND TRY TO GET TO THE BEST NEGOTIATED RESOLUTION POSSIBLE FOR NOT ONLY THE RESIDENCE APPARENT DAY BUT THE ENTIRE CITY OF PARKLAND. WE AS A COMMISSION HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO SUPPORT OUR RESIDENTS AND DOING THAT.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. THE MAYOR GAVE OUT HIS PHONE AND HIS E-MAIL EARLIER TONIGHT. HE DOES ALL THE TIME.

WE DO THAT ALL THE TIME. WE ALL RESPOND TO E-MAILS AND PICK UP THE PHONE AND I RECOMMEND ANY RESIDENTS TO CONTACT ME I KNOW THEY HAVE OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS.

IN GENERAL ANY QUESTION ABOUT PARKLAND, WE CONTINUE TO LIVE HERE AND BE HERE. WHETHER THE GENTLEMAN MADE A MENTOR BEFORE ABOUT THE FACT WE HAVE TO SEE OUR NEIGHBORS AND TRUST OUR NEIGHBORS. I CAN TELL YOU I'D ALMOST TRUST THAT THE FOR THE GENTLEMAN ON THIS DAIS WILL DO RIGHT BY THE CITY OF PARKLAND AND I WILL DO SO AS WELL.

I ALSO TELL YOU WE SHARE A COMMON GOAL, PRESERVING AND ENSURING THAT NOTHING DESTROYS ALL OF THE ATTRIBUTES THAT WE ALL MOVED OR STAYED IN PARKLAND TO ENJOY.

THEY ARE NOT MOTIVATED BY ANY HIDDEN AGENDA, ANY SIDE CONCERNS OR ANY OF THE ISSUE OR ANY OF THOSE ISSUES.

WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO WORK IN A POSITIVE FASHION.

WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE HOA BOARD AND THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS. I'M A LITTLE BIT UPSET WHEN THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS GETS BEAT UP OVER SOME COMMENTS.

IT'S A GOOD CITY AND GOOD PEOPLE RUNNING IT.

THEY'RE TRYING TO DO RIGHT BY THE RESIDENCE.

PARKLAND IS A DIFFERENT PLACE, WAS CREATED TO BE A DIFFERENT PLACE. WHEN WE MOVED TO PARKLAND THERE WAS ONE WAY AND IN ONE WAY OUT, THERE WAS NO COMMERCIAL AND NO PARKS YET BUT THEY CREATED THEM IN SHORT ORDER BUT PARKLAND WAS% ALWAYS MEANT TO BE A HIDDEN GEM IN NORTHWEST BROWARD COUNTY.

A RESIDENTIAL FAMILY COMMUNITY, HORSES, OPEN SPACES, GREEN SPACES AND WE WANT TO PRESERVE THE CULTURE, THE CHARACTER.

REDOING THINGS IN THE CITY THAT ARE TRYING TO BRING BACK SOME OF THE OLD PARKLAND THAT WE ALL KNOW WOULD LOVE FOR THOSE OF US THAT HE BEEN HERE SO LONG. I'M NOT HERE AS LONG AS THE GENTLEMAN THAT SPOKE BEFORE BUT PARKLAND DAYS ENDED UP OF THE THINGS TO BRING OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER WITH THE LAST THING THAT WE WANTED TO DO IS MAKE YOUR COMMUNITY SOMEHOW AND ATTRACTION FOR THE TRI-COUNTY AREA.

OTHER THAN LIVING HERE VISITING PEOPLE HERE THE LAST THING THAT WE WANT TO DO IS MAKE THIS SOMEHOW A DESTINATION.

I TELL YOU WE APPRECIATE YOUR VOICES AND I APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING HERE. I APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK BY

[01:50:01]

PARKLAND. >> I WOULD MAKE SOME OF THE COMMENTS ASIDE FROM THE HERON BAY GOLF COURSE.

WE HAVE A NUMBER OF ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN THE CITY FOR THE RESIDENTS TO GET ENGAGED. I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO DO THAT AND WE HAVE THE STATE OF THE CITY COMING UP THAT THE RESIDENTS COME OUT AND HEAR FROM OUR MAYOR AND PERHAPS SEVERAL OTHERS ON THE COMMISSION ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CITY.

I ENCOURAGE OUR RESIDENTS TO DO THAT.

THIS IS THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS STARTING WITH THE TOWN HALL ON THURSDAY IN TODAY'S MEETINGS AND TONIGHT'S MEETINGS HAS MADE ME VERY PROUD TO BE A PARKLAND RESIDENT IN HERON BAY.

I FEEL THE COMMUNITY EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE HAS COME DOWN THE PIPE FOR A WHILE PRODUCING THE TRAIN COMING.

I FEEL LIKE THE COMMUNITY AND THE RESIDENTS ARE FINALLY REALIZING IF THEY ARE PART OF THE PROCESS THEY WILL BE PART OF THE SOLUTION RATHER THAN FOCUSING AND COMPLAINING ON THE PROBLEM. I ENCOURAGE THE RESIDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OPPORTUNITIES BUT THE CITY PROVIDES FOR THE RESIDENCE TO GET ENGAGED. THAT INCLUDES OUR UPCOMING STATE OF THE CITY. THE CITY WAS RECOGNIZED RECENTLY 211 BROWARD FOR THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT STARTED WITH HER FORMER MAYOR AND THE GENTLEMAN WHO SITS ON MY LEFT ON THE COMMISSION FOR HELPING WITH MENTAL HEALTH, SUICIDE PREVENTION AS PART OF THE 21 BROWARD LESSON HONOR AS A RESULT OF THE ACTIONS TAKEN AFTER THE TRAGEDY IS TOLD IN DOUGLAS.

WE HAVE ONE OF THE CHARITIES THAT CAME OUT OF THE TRAGEDY OF DOUGLAS AT THE PARKLAND GOLF COURSE.

I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE. I KNOW WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING FORMALLY BUT I WANT TO RECOGNIZE FREDDIE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO COACHED OR HAD YOUR CHILDRE PLAY SPORTS IN PARKLAND, FREDDIE THE WRATH AND AMAZING RESIDENCE THAT WE WILL RECOGNIZE WERE NOMINATED INTO THE BROWARD COUNTY SENIOR CITIZEN HALL OF FAME. I WANT TO GIVE HIM THAT RECOMMENDATION. I THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE IN THE MAYOR FOR HIS COMMENTS OF OPENING OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS IN CONTINUE TO REACH OUT AND CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.

>> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER BRIER. COMMISSIONER ISROW.

COMMISSIONER BRIER SAID IT EXTREMELY WELL.

I HAD SOME OTHER COMMENTS I WAS PLANNING THAT SEEM SOMEWHAT UNIMPORTANT EXCEPT OUR SOFTBALL TEAM HAPPENED WHEN SOFTBALL WE WANT TO WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.

WITHOUT YOU GUYS WE WOULD NOT BE LITERALLY.

THERE IS A LOT THAT WAS SAID TONIGHT.

I WANT TO BREAK DOWN A LITTLE BIT OF IT.

FIRST AND FOREMOST THERE WAS A COMMON THE SAID WE PARKLAND ARE DRIVING THE BUS FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

THAT CANNOT BE ANY FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH.

EVERYONE HAS HEARD FROM NSID AND EVERYONE ELSE BY NOW AND SID IS DRIVING THIS BUS. WE HAPPENED TO BE A BYSTANDER WATCHING AND HOPING THAT WE HAVE TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS AND THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO CONTROL AND MITIGATE AND HOPEFULLY DRIVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I WANTED TO BE CLEAR THIS IS NOT A PARKLAND INITIATIVE. THERE WAS ALSO, GENTLEMEN I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE MEETING, THE VIDEO THE CONVERSATION WE HAVE WAS A COMMENT THAT THE CAPACITY FOR THE SCHOOL WHICH A SCHOOL BOARD WAS MAKING REPRESENTATION WAS NOT MAKING CAPACITY, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE INCLUDED THE 1200 BUILDING IN THE CALCULATION.

WHAT I EXPLAIN PART OF THE IMO FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD THEY WERE

NOT INCLUDED ON THE CALCULATION. >> I'M NOT TRYING TO TAKE A POSITION OF WHETHER IT'S TRUE OR NOT I JUST NEVER SAID THE

SCHOOLS WERE OVERCAPACITY. >> WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION AFTER THE MEETING BUT NO BACK-AND-FORTH PLEASE.

>> AND NOT TRIED TO DEBATE YOU, MY POINT IS THIS, AS EVERYONE HAS HAD FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY.

THAT'S WHY WE SIGNED UP FOR THIS.

BELIEVE ME IT IS NOT -- [INAUDIBLE]

>> EXCUSE ME. WE CANNOT HAVE A BACK-AND-FORTH WITH EVERYONE ALL THIS TIME. WE ARE NOT ALWAYS GOING TO AGREE WITH ONE ANOTHER. WE ARE NOT ALWAYS GOING TO AGREE WITH ONE ANOTHER. YOU HAVE YOUR THREE MINUTES, ONCE THE THREE MINUTES ARE OVER, THEY ARE OVER PRETTY FEW WANT TO COME BACK TO THE NEXT MEETING OR STAY AFTER AND HAVE A CONVERSATION YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO DO THAT.

HIS PROPER DECORUM FOR YOU TO HAVE A FEW MINUTES AND FOR US TO CONTINUE WITH THE MEETING. JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T AGREE DOES

[01:55:02]

WERE GOING TO LEAVE IT AT THAT. >> I'D BE HAPPY TO TALK TO AFTER THIS, I WILL GIVE YOU MY PHONE NUMBER.

I PROMISE YOU I'M HAPPY TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION.

THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE MONTHS AGO WHEN THIS ISSUE FIRST CAME UP I MADE THE COMMENT THAT I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN BUT COMING OUT WITH PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES IS NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM. AS THE PEOPLE BE CREATIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE AND SOMETHING IS HAPPENING AND GOING TO HAPPEN LET US HAVE AN ACTUAL PLAN AS OPPOSED TO REACTING PRE-THAT'S WHAT I SAID AND THAT'S WHAT I STAND BY.

THE ISSUE IS NOT BINARY THIS IS NOT A BLOCK AWAY ISSUE IT'S NUANCED. IT DEALS WITH TRAFFIC, SAFETY CITY, THERE IS CONCEPT HERE THAT CAN MAKE A LOT OF SENSE.

ULTIMATELY HOPEFULLY THE SURVEY WILL SHOW WHAT THE HOA OR THE RESIDENCE OF HERON THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THERE WILL BE DISPARITY BUT HOPEFULLY A MAJORITY POSITION WILL FORMALIZE. WITH THAT IN MIND IF THERE IS A DIRECTION TO PURCHASE THE LAND ON YOUR OWN I THINK THAT'S A GREAT INITIATIVE BUT THAT IS NOT SOMETHING AS WE AS A COMMISSION CAN CONTROL OR FORCE. THAT IS SOMETHING YOU WANT TO GALVANIZE AND MAKE HAPPEN I THINK THAT'S FANTASTIC.

NO ONE IS TRYING TO STOP IT AND NO ONE IS GETTING PAID BY DEVELOPER AND NO ONE HAS ANY INTEREST IN ANYTHING THAT OTHER MAKING SURE THE RESIDENCE OF PARKLAND ARE HAPPY AND SAFE.

THAT IS. THERE MAY BE A COST TO THAT, KEEP IN MIND MOST ALL OF US GET OUR WATER FROM NSID.

IN SOME FORM OR FASHION IF NSID DOES NOT RECOUP THE COST OF THEIR INVESTMENT OF THE PROPERTY, WE ALL ARE SUBSIDIZING THAT. TO ME THAT'S A BIG CONCERN, BUT IT ALSO NEEDS TO BE A FOCUS PREVIOUSLY LEGITIMATE ISSUE.

TO KEEP PROPERTY GREEN SPACE COST MONEY.

THAT IS THE REALITY. IS NOT THAT IT COSTS MONEY TO DEVELOP THINGS, IT GOES BOTH WAYS.

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP COMES WITH A BUNDLE OF RIGHTS, LAW SCHOOL ONE-ON-ONE, THE PROPERTY CLASS. YOU HAVE A LOT OF RATES WHEN YOU OWN A PIECE OF PROPERTY. UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT OWN IT.

THE OWNER CURRENTLY NSID ARE IN CONTROL AND WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO IS MAKE A DECISION, IN ADDITION TO RECOUPING THE COST.

EXCUSE ME PRIMARILY TO RECOUP THE COST SO THEY CAN MITIGATE THE ACTUAL SPENDS OF THE COST OF THE RESIDENCE.

21 MILLION-DOLLAR BID IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE IS STILL CONCEPT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE FALCONE IN THE TOLL BROTHERS, THE RESIDENTIAL ASPECT IS SO MONUMENTAL THAT I WOULD IMAGINE WHETHER YOU THINK NOW THE EAST COAST BUILDERS COMMERCIAL IS TOO LARGE OF AN AREA NO WALL.

THE REALITY THE OTHERS GO TO THE OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUM.

EITHER IN THIS BAD REPRESENTATIVE TO FIND A BALANCE IN THE MIDDLE. THERE WILL BE A WAY TO FIND SOME RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL THAT WORKS IN A WAY.

TO INFORM AND FASHION A MAN TO REACH WITH OUR CITY AND THE ONLY WAY WE ARE GOING TO GET THERE IS ON WORKING TOGETHER I THINK EVERYONE IS COMING WITH PASSION THAT IS GREAT AT YOUR HOME BUT THIS IS OUR HOME TO NOBODY'S TRIED TO DO ANYTHING UNTOWARD THE POSITION THAT YOU HEARD FROM GRACE SULLIVAN IS COMING FROM GRAY SOLOMON. UNTIL YOU HEAR IT FROM THE CITY ITSELF, YOU CONTINUE TO BE CURIOUS AND KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING THE MISINFORMATION IS THE REAL THING.

I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF AGENDAS ARE STAKEHOLDERS HERE AND WHAT IT'S DOING IS CLOUDING THE GAMEBOARD.

MY GOAL HERE IS TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND, UNDERSTAND ALL THE DIFFERENT ANGLES AND RECOGNIZE THAT WE HAD A GENTLEMAN COME UP AND TALK ABOUT WANTING TO KEEP HER FEEL BEAUTIFUL.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN YOU GOT ANOTHER THOUSAND RESIDENTS ARE 500 NODS MORE KIDS TO THE FIELD IN THE LIBRARY THAT IS A CERTAIN SIZE IN A FINITE AMOUNT OF CAPACITY.

YET FIRE AND SAFETY AS MORE RESIDENTS GROW YOU WILL HAVE MORE NEED FOR THE SERVICES. THERE WAS A LOT OF STUFF THAT WAS SAID WE DON'T WANT A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE BUT AGAIN THAT GOES BACK TO GREEN SPACE AT AN EXPENSE, I WOULD SAY HI EXPENSE.

$1400 BUT IT WAS NOT INSIGNIFICANT.

THAT IS A DECISION YOU GONNA MAKE AS A COLLECTIVE ASSOCIATION THROUGH YOUR SURVEY. I WANT TO REITERATE THAT.

THE SAME WITH GATOR ACRES. GATOR ACRES WAS A VERY TOUGH

[02:00:05]

TO GO BACK TO THE POINT OF WHETHER A REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT OR WORKFORCE HOUSING.

ULTIMATELY REDOUND TO THE DISTINCTION THAT IS STILL RESIDENCY DOESN'T CHANGE WHETHER PEOPLE WITH KIDS WHO ATTEND OUR SCHOOLS THAT WAS NOT THE DEBATE, PARKLAND WANTED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND ARE PROPERTY ANNEXED INTO THE CITY SO WE CAN BENEFIT IN MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OVER THE DESTINY IT WILL BE DECIDED AND I BELIEVE AND I'M CONFIDENT IN TIME WHEN THIS DEVELOP IN THE FOR A 5-ACRE PARK THAT WE RECEIVED OUT OF THAT AND PEOPLE WILL LOOK BACK. IT WAS A TOUGH DECISION BUT THEY GOT IT RIGHT. I'M HOPEFUL AND CONFIDENT IF AND WHEN A DECISION COMES BEFORE THE COMMISSION AND WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DECIDING ON IN TERMS OF HOW TO PREVENT SOMETHING WE DO NOT WANT OR SOMETHING HAPPEN THAT WE DO WANT I'M CONFIDENT WILL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. >> TAKING COMMISSIONER ISROW.

COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY.% A MINISTER WITH MY COMMISSION COMMENT AND THEN I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT HEARING DAY. I KNOW YOU GUYS CAME TONIGHT TO HEAR MY COMMISSION COMMENTS. I JUST WANT TO LET MY COLLEAGUES KNOW THAT BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 WE BECAME THE FIRST BROWARD CITY AND MUNICIPALITIES WITH THIS DESIGNATION.

GRADE LEVEL LITERACY FOR ALL OF HIS CHILDREN.

I BRING THAT UP BECAUSE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I'VE DONE IN THE LAST WEEK THAT KIND OF ELEVATE TOWARDS A GRADE LEVEL READING LITERACY. FOR EXAMPLE LAST FRIDAY I READ IT, RIVER GLADES ELEMENTARY, MISGUIDED AND I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED IN RED THAT WE WERE ON THE MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS READING, LAST FRIDAY WAS CHILDREN'S DAY AND BOOKED DAY.

IT IS A CELEBRATION OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY AS WELL AS CAB TALKED ABOUT THAT AND MULTILINGUAL FAMILY LITERACY.

I WANT TO TAKE THEIR DUAL LANGUAGE CAN EVEN CLASS FOR ALLOWING ME TOO COME IN AND READ TO THE CHILDREN, MAY IS CELEBRATED AS NATIONAL READING MONTH CLOSE TO WHAT WENT ON.

FOLKS FOR LIBRARIANS AND INSPIRING THE LOVE OF READING.

I ASKED: THE CITY OF PARKLAND CHALLENGER READING COMMUNITY AND I GUESS EVERYBODY HERE READS OF ALL AGES TO GET CAUGHT READING BY POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. A PICTURE OF THEM READING THEIR FAVORITE BOOK IN THE FAVORITE LOCATION WHERE WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE # GET CAUGHT READING PARK. IT IS ALSO TEACHER APPRECIATION THIS IS A WAY TO SHOW OUR GRATITUDE FOR THE INCREDIBLE WORK THAT TEACHERS HAVE DONE TO ENRICH OUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF HER CHILDREN. THE PANDEMIC IS THE SUPERINTENDENT HAS SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER THE PANDEMIC HAS BEEN CHALLENGING FOR THE PROFESSION AND I BELIEVE THE AFTERMATH IS GOING TO BE WORSE. SOMEBODY TEACHERS ARE LEAVING THE PROFESSION. IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY, IT IS ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.

IT IS ABOUT THE STATE AND CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS WERE THERE BECOMING MORE COMPLIANT AND MORE OFFICERS AND TEACHERS.

THIS WEEK PLEASE GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT AND LETTER TEACHERS NO HOW VITAL THEY ARE FOR SHAPING OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE. ALSO THIS WEEK IS BEEN THE SIMPLE CLERKS WEEK, THIS YEAR'S THEME IS AIMED AT PUBLIC AWARENESS OF MUNICIPAL CLERKS. IN THE VITAL SERVICES FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO THE COMMUNITY. JUST TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AREA OF OUR CLERK'S OFFICE HAS TO DO WITH MAINTAINING OFFICIAL MINUTES IN ORDINANCE BOOKS AND ALL RECORDS AND NUMBERS. THANK YOU FOR THAT CONTINUED WORK. AS COMMISSIONER BRIER MENTIONED THE CITY OF PARKLAND WAS HONORED OF MARKETING MAKING REAL CONNECTIONS BREAKFAST FOR THE SHARED CONNECTION THAT WE MADE WITH 211 AND THE MEDIA AFTERMATH OF EVERY 14.

211 WAS THERE IN OUR TIME OF NEED AND WERE GRATEFUL FOR THE TIME OF SERVICE THEY PROVIDE TO RESIDENTS.

[02:05:02]

THE GOOD NEWS IS CALLED TO 211 ONLY 14 INCOMING CALLS AND 13 WERE CALLS, ONE WAS A TEXT THERE WERE NO CALLS RELATED TO SUICIDE AND NO CALLS RELATED TO COPING AND.

MOST OF THESE WERE IN CHILDREN'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SPECIAL NEEDS. THAT'S A MAJORITY OF 20 OUT OF THE 56 PREDICTS AN INTERESTING TOTAL OF WHAT THOSE NEEDS ARE IN THE COMMUNITY AND GIVES US A BAROMETER OF WHERE WERE AT.

TWO WHEN ONE ALSO HAS A TOUCHLINE WHICH IS A FREE SERVICE THAT OFFERS DAILY TELEPHONE CALLS FOR THOSE OVER 60 WHO LIVE ALONE. AS A MATTER OF FACT THEY BROUGHT UP THE PRESENTATION AND THE AWARD CEREMONY ABOUT THE SERVICE AND HOW IT IMPACTS RESIDENTS THAT ARE LIVING ON THEIR OWN AND HOW A HOLIDAY CERTAINLY HELPS THEM.

I WANT TO SHOUT OUT HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE CORAL SPRINGS HEALTH THEY CELEBRATED 30 YEARS IN THE COMMUNITY.

MY COMMENTS REGARDING HEARING I'M GOING TO BE KIND OF BRIEF.

I WOULD THINK COMMISSIONER BRIER IN ISRAEL FURTHER COMMENTS AS WELL AS WHAT THE MAYOR MADE. I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT FOR 25 YEARS GOING ON 26. TROY BEEN ON OUR PLANNING AND ZONING AND OR EDUCATION ADVISORY BOARD AND THE COMMISSION.% VOICE TAKEN A POSITION OF WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP HER RESIDENCE WHETHER IT BE PLANNING AND ZONING, EDUCATION ADVISORY BOARD, THAT IS MY PARAMOUNT REASON FOR WANTING TO SERVE.

WE ALSO WANT TO BE IN A POSITION THAT PROVIDES THE STRUGGLES POSITION POSSIBLE. IT IS MY OPINION ONLY SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IS BEEN SET APPEAR BUT I'VE BEEN TAKEN AWAY, WATCH IN SEE RESPONSE PER YOU GUYS IN HEARING DAY OR IN THE STRONG'S POSITION RIGHT NOW READ IF YOU GUYS GET YOURSELF TOGETHER AND FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT GO TO NSID, THE PROPERTY OWNER AND SAY HERE'S WHAT WERE LOOKING FOR, YOU CAN WORK OUT A DEAL, INSTEAD OF THROWING IT ON AS I LOOK TO YOU GUYS BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE YOU GUYS LIVE. I HAVE A NEIGHBOR WHO'S DOING SOMETHING IN MY HOA I'M IN A ROOM HOA BOARD AND TALK TO THEM OR TALK TO THE NEIGHBOR AND HAVE A CONVERSATION.

I'M NOT CAN IT CALLED THE CITY OF PARKLAND AND SAY HERE'S THIS PROBLEM THAT I HAVE, CAN YOU GUYS ALL THE PER YOU GUYS HAVE THAT POWER, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT COLLECTIVELY DURING THE STRONGEST POSITION RIGHT NOW THAT IS AN IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER. ONE THING I WANT TO SAY TO YOU.

I GET A LIEN ON OUR ATTORNEY I WHAT YOU GUYS TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS. HEARING DAY, AND SID ON THAT AND THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS THAT A PROPERTY OWNER HAS.

I WANT OUR ATTORNEY TO GO THROUGH WHAT THE PROCESSES AS YOU KNOW AS IT MOVES FORWARD WHERE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SPEAK AND LISTEN TO THE RESIDENTS AND LISTEN TO ALL THE

PARTIES. >> TAKE YOU COMMISSIONER, LIKE ANY OTHER PROPERTY THAT WANTS TO BE DEVELOPED IN THE CITY.

ULTIMATELY DEVELOPED APPLICATIONS NEED TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY, THERE ARE NO APPLICATIONS TO THIS PROPERTY. IT CURRENTLY HAS A LAND USE OF RESIDENTIAL PREDICTABLY WAS TO DEVELOP COMMERCIAL THEY WILL NEED TO COME FOR THIS COMMISSION FIRST VIA APPLICATIONS FOR A LAND-USE AMENDMENT, REZONING, PLAT, SITE PLAN, ALL OF THOSE APPLICATIONS IN THE NORMAL PROCESS WILL BE REVIEWED BY STAFF IN THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE AND THE VARIOUS DISCIPLINES WITHIN CITY STAFF FOR THEIR REVIEW, AND RECOMMENDATION. MANY OF THOSE ITEMS GO TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD FOR THEIR REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION.

FINALLY THEY WILL BECOME BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION FOR YOUR REVIEW AND APPROVAL AND THAT'S A NORMAL COURSE FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY OF THIS NATURE.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? >> THAT IS A PROCESS.

I LEAVE YOU WITH THESE WORDS AGAIN.

AS THE COMMISSION WE ARE OPEN TO HEARING FROM THE RESIDENCE AND ALL ACCESSIBLE. SOMEBODY TALKED ABOUT THE

[02:10:01]

IF YOU GUYS WANT GREEN SPACE AND WHAT YOUR COST WILL BE.

THOSE ARE THINGS YOU HAVE TO LOOK TO BALANCE.

IT IS A DIFFICULT BALANCE. THERE ARE WAYS TO MITIGATE SCHOOLS OVERCROWDING BUT AGAIN, WE DO NOT CONTROL THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD DOES SO WE HAVE TO ADVOCATE FOR WHAT WE WANT IS A COMMUNITY. WE TRIED THAT FOUR YEARS AGO AND TO HAVE A CHANGE IN BOUNDARIES IN HIGH SCHOOL.

THE COMMUNITY SCHOOL BOARD AT THE TIME DID NOT WANT TO LISTEN.

THESE ARE THINGS WORKING TOGETHER, WE ALL AGREE WITH GOD TO WORK TOGETHER. I POINT OUT TO YOU GUYS AS A HEARING THEY COMMUNITY. IF YOU GUYS CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT, EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION.

I SOMEWHAT COMMERCIALS AND SOME WANT MORE.

I THINK WE WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE IT ALONE AND B GREEN SPACE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PLAYERS INVOLVED IN SITUATIONS INVOLVED OF WHAT'S GOING ON. I'M LOOKING AT YOU GUYS TO PROVIDE US THAT SUPPORT SO WE CAN HEAR WHAT YOU WANT COLLECTIVELY TOGETHER AND WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.

VICE MAYOR CUTLER. ONE THING MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS AND THE MAYOR FOR THE COMMENTS EARLIER THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID WHAT YOU NEED TO HEAR. I WILL SAY THIS WE ARE UNDERGOING GROWING PAINS AS A CITY AND EVERY SITUATION THAT WE ARE FACED WITH IT IS LIKE A CYCLE OF THE SAME I TELL YOU I MOVED HERE IN 1997 AND I DID NOT WANT HEARING DATE TO BE HELPED.

WE LIKED HER SMALL TOWN IN OUR HORSES AND EVERYTHING AND YET WE HAD A BIG COMMUNITY THAT WAS GOING TO COME IN ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY AND IT WAS GOING TO RUIN EVERYTHING.

I DID NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN AND PEOPLE PROTEST JUST LIKE YOUR PROTESTING FOR THE STAFF. WHAT ENDED UP HAPPENING EVERYBODY CAME TOGETHER AND WE WORKED THINGS OUT.

WE HAD A ROAD BUILT IN ALL KINDS OF THINGS AND CONCESSIONS OUT OF THE DEVELOPERS AND WE ENDED UP WITH THE BOOT INTO BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY OUT WEST AND PEOPLE ARE HAPPY AND ANSWER ALL OF YOU LIVING OUT THERE LOVE IT JUST LIKE WITH THE VARSITY.

THE SAME THING MANY YEARS FOR MANY OTHER INSTANCES IN THE CITY WHERE THE CHARTER SCHOOL WAS GOOD TO BE BUILT MANY PEOPLE HERE TONIGHT WERE HERE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT THE CHARTER SCHOOL TO BE BUILT, THE ENDED UP GETTING UP BUILT, WE CAME TOGETHER AND WORKED HARD TO GET CONCESSIONS THAT WE NEEDED TO MAKE THINGS WORK RIGHT. WE HAVE A ROUNDABOUT IN ALL KINDS OF THINGS DONE THAT WAY. BEFORE THAT THE CITY IS FACED ALL KINDS OF OTHER ISSUES, THE SAWGRASS WAS GOOD TO BE PUT RIGHT WHERE THE ROAD WAS AT ONE POINT, THE CITY CAME TOGETHER AND ALL THE PEOPLE GOT TOGETHER, WE WORKED REALLY HARD TOGETHER TO ACCOMPLISH GETTING IT WHERE IT IS TODAY.

OTHERWISE IT WAS GOING TO SPLIT THE TOWN RIGHT HALF BEFORE THAT WE HAD THE WEDGE SOME PART OF HEARING DATE IN SOME ASPECTS OF HEARING DAY AND SOME OF THE OTHER DVELOPMENTS OUT THERE THEY WANTED TO BUILD AN AIRPORT AND PUT A WOMEN'S PRISON AND ONE POINT CONSIDERING PUTTING A DUMP AFTER.

AGAIN THE PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY AND THE LEADERS ON THIS DAY GOT TOGETHER THEY WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO FIGHT AND GET THE CONCESSIONS THAT THEY NEEDED TO DO WHAT WAS RIGHT FOR THE CITY. I'M ENCOURAGING YOU, PLEASE COME UP WITH A SOLUTION, WORK WITH THE COMMISSIONERS, LET'S DO IT TOGETHER. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT VICE MAYOR CUTLER.

>> I WANT TO REITERTE THE BEST PLACE TO WORK CITY OF PARKLAND THAT IS A HUGE, SCHMIDT 211 SAID ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SERVICE AND IT'S AN HONOR TO BE THERE WITH A STATE REPRESENTATIVE AND WAS A LOT OF FUN AND I'M GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT.

ASPEN GARDENS, JORDAN WAS THERE, WE GOT TO SPEAK AT A VETERANS HONORING THAT THEY DID. IT WAS A MOVING EXPERIENCE.

THE STATE OF THE CITY IS MAY 12. WE ALL HAVE A PART.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING THAT.

COED SOFTBALL, JORDAN PASS BY BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WE STARTD A COED SOFTBALL ADULT

[02:15:05]

IT IS ANOTHER THING THAT WE DO IN OUR COMMUNITIES TO ONCE AGAIN KEEP THE HOMETOWN FEEL. I SPOKE EARLIER IN REFERENCE TO HEARING DAY, MY COLLEAGUES APPEAR THE ONE CONSTANT FROM EVERYONE WAS WORK TOGETHER. I SAID THE SAME THING, I SAID YOU CAN COME UP FOR YOU THREE MINUTES AND YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT. DO YOU WANT TO CALL US NAMES, YELL, THAT IS FINE BUT IT IS MORE AND BETTER IF WE ARE PROACTIVE AND WE ARE CONSTRUCTIVE AND WE TRY TO WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM SO WE CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM TOGETHER.

AS I HAD SAID IN MY COLLEAGUES REITERATE THE SAME THING.

THESE ARE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE BASED UPON WHAT WE HEAR FROM THE RESIDENCE. I DON'T DO WHATEVER I WANTED YOU. I DON'T MAKE DECISIONS WITH WHATEVER I THINK. I LISTEN TO ALL THE RESIDENTS.

I TAKE WHATEVER INFORMATION I GET FROM STAFF AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS AT OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND I TRY TO MAKE THE BEST DECISION POSSIBLE. I LIVE HERE, I WANTED TO BE AN AWESOME PLACE TO LIVE. MY YOUNGEST IS EIGHT YEARS OLD.

I AM HERE FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. EVERY DECISION I MAKE AFFECTION YOU AND IT AFFECTS ME. I WANT TO DO WHAT'S BEST BUT THAT IS ALL OF US WORKING TOGETHER.

VICE MAYOR CUTLER SAID IT BEST. WE NEED TO BE A TEAM AND WERE NOT OUT TO GET ANYBODY. WE WANT TO DO IT TOGETHER INTO ITS BEST. UNFORTUNATELY EVERYONE IS BACKWARD TO AGREE WITH ONE ANOTHER BUT WE CAN DO THAT AND RESPECTFUL MANNER. THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT.

OUR HEARTS ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND YOU MIGHT THINK OUR MINDS ARE SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT OUR HEARTS ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

THAT BEING SAID WERE GOOD TO GET BACK TO THE MEETING.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA APPROVING THE PIGGYBACK ON THE CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE FLORIDA CONTRACT 12504-613 FOR SIDEWALK REPLACEMNT OF PARKSIDE DRIVE WITH THE AWARDED VENDOR, SOUTHEASTERN ENGINEERING CONTRACTORS INC. PROVIDED FOR EXECUTION BY THE APPROPRIATE CITY OFFICIAL PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

>> BEFORE WE START THIS PRESENTATION.

WE TALKED IN STRATEGIC PLANNING ABOUT LOOKING INTO THE PARKSIDE DRIVE BIKE LANES AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.

WOULD THIS BE IMPACTED BY THAT? >> IT DEPENDS ON THE FULL DE DESIGN. PROBABLY YES BUT THAT PROJECT IS FOUR YEARS AWAY AND NOW WE HAVE SOME ISSUES RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S WHY THE ORIGINAL SCOPE WAS IN RESURFACING WE REDUCE THE SCOPE TO OVERLAY AND ADDRESS THE HANDICAP RAMP.

>> HOW DRASTIC ARE THE ADA ISSUES.

IF WE ENDED UP 118, HOW MUCH WAS IT.

>> 118,000. >> CORRECT.

>> FOR ME IT IS, AS FAR AS THE ADA CONCERNS, THAT WOULD BE MY CONCERN. IF IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DO TO ADDRESS ADA CONCERNS, THEN THAT WOULD BE TO ME OUR ONLY DISCUSSION. IF WE ARE POTENTIALLY DOING SOMETHING EVEN IF IT IS ONLY FOUR YEARS DOWN THE ROAD,

$118,000 SEEMS NOT PRUDENT. >> I WILL SPEAK ON THE ITEM.

BUT TO STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSIONS AGO WE BROUGHT THE ADA TRANSITION PLAN TO THE COMMISSION WILL BE STARTED EXPEDITION OF TRYING TO GET IT ADOPTED.

WORKING TO BRING THE DOCUMENT FOR THE SUMMER FOR ADOPTION.

THE COMMISSION OF PLANNING SAID LET'S GO AHEAD AND REMEDIATE.

THE ITEMS TO BRING BEFORE YOU IS ONE OF THE HIGHER RANKING PROJECTS IN THE DOCUMENT FROM A CONSULTANT.

ALSO DURING REMEDIATION FOR FACILITIES.

THAT PARTICULAR ITEM IS ONE OF THE HIRING ITEMS OF OUR ADA

[02:30:03]

TRANSITION PLAN. >> I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH NANCY. LOOKING AT THIS.

THE PIGGYBACK CONTRACT FOR ANOTHER YEAR.

EVEN IF WE WERE NOT TO GO FORWARD WITH IT TODAY, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT SOON. WE WOULD AT LEAST HAVE ANOTHER YEAR TO UTILIZESTRACT SERVICE, AM I CORRECT?

>> YES THE PIGGYBACK. >> I WOULD RATHER LOOK, THERE IS STILL HIGH-PRIORITY ADA ISSUES, TACKLE THEM AND AGAIN, SEEN WHERE THOSE COSTS ARE BECAUSE MAYBE WE NEED THE EXTRA $118,000 TO DO ANOTHER PROJECT AND IS NOT TIME GOES ON WE CAN SEE WHERE WE

ARE. >> WE MIGHT HAVE MORE CLARITY ON THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT. IF WE END UP DOING THE PARKSIDE DRIVE PROJECT AND IS FOUR YEARS OR THREE YEARS OR WHATEVER, WE WILL END UP REDOING THE WORK THAT WE JUST DID.

>> MY ONLY CONCERN IS LIABILITY ISSUE AND ANTHONY MAY BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THIS IF THIS IS WHATEVER HIGH-PRIORITY ADA COMPLIANT ISSUES AND IS OUTLINED IN OUR PLAN AND WE ADOPTED IT AND SAID WHAT IMPLEMENTED IT. DOES IT CREATE ANY LIABILITY ISSUES IF WE DON'T. I DON'T WANT TO WASTE THE TAXPAYERS MONEY INTO IT TWICE. I AGREE WITHOUT WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND THAT WAS MY BIG CONCERN BUT I DO WANT TO PUT US IN A SCENARIO WHERE WE COMMITTED TO BRINGING COMPLIANT CERTAIN AREAS

AND THEN WERE NOT. >> DO YOU WANT TO CHIME IN ON

THAT ONE? >> THAT THE LIABILITY ISSUE, WORKING TO DEFEND IT VIGOROUSLY BUT IF IT'S A MATTER OF A FEW MONTHS. I CANNOT SAY THAT SOMETHING IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN DURING THAT TIME.

GENERALLY THE STANDARD FOR THOSE TYPES OF CASES.

WE WILL GET SOME DEFERENCE IN THAT REGARD.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TYPE OF TIMEFRAME.

>> THE DOCUMENT HAS NOT BEEN ADOPTED.

OFFICIALLY WE WILL BRING YOU BACK WE DID START THIS PROCESS

OF BEING PROACTIVE. >> THAT'S A CONCERN I HAVE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A SHARED VIBE PREFERRED LOOKING TO DO A LARGER PROJECT WHICH WILL ENCOMPASS FIXING THE SIDEWALKS AS WELL, JUST NOT SPENDING THE MONEY TWICE WOULD BE THE GOAL.

NEIL: I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOU CHIME IN ON THAT.

TO COMMISSIONER MAYOR SINCE POINT, IF WE WAIT A YEAR WE CAN STILL PIGGYBACK IT HAVE MORE CLARITY ON THE PARKSIDE DRIVE PROJECT. IN FACT CLARITY AND PROJECT DOES NOT LIKE IT GOING TO COME INTO FRUITION WE CAN CONTINUE WITH THE PIGGYBACK AND WE'VE ONLY LOST A YEAR.

TO ME TO POTENTIALLY NOT WASTE BUT TO POTENTIALLY SPEND MONEY

TWICE. >> THE QUESTION I HAVE DO WE NEED A RESOLUTION TONIGHT TO GET THE PIGGYBACK IN ORDER FOR THE CITY VERSUS WAITING FOR A TIME. UP TO A YEAR BEFORE WE HAVE THE RESOLUTION. FORGET THE RESOLUTION NOW WE CAN

WAIT THE YEAR. >> AT POINT.

>> CERTAINLY NOT IN THIS MARKET BUT THE PIGGYBACK IS NOT A PROBLEM IF IT'S UNDER CONTRACT WE CAN FIND ANOTHER ONE AND

SECURE THE SERVICES. >> THEN WE DON'T NEED A

RESOLUTION? >> I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE LET'S SAY WE BOTH THIS TO APPROVE THIS BUT WE DON'T GO ON WITH THE CONSTRUCTION. HOW LONG DO WE HAVE BEFORE.

>> 90 DAYS. >> I WANT TO PUT THAT OUT THERE IN JUNE THEY ARE GOING TO RANK THE PROJECTS FOR A SURTAX.

YOU WILL HEAR IN JUNE. >> WE CAN DENY THIS NOW.

>> WHY DON'T WE TABLE THE AS OPPOSED TO DENYING IT.

MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE. >> SECOND.

>> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC? >> BEFORE WE DO THE TABLE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO PREJUDICE TO US IF WE TABLE IT NOW WE DON'T ACCEPT JUMPING INTO THE PIGGYBACK SCENARIO RIGHT NOW THAT WE ARE NOT WOULD BE PREJUDICE LATER ON IN BEING ABLE

TO DO THAT. >> WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE THE CONVERSATION WITH THE CONTRACTOR MAKE SURE THEY WOULD BE WILLING

[02:35:03]

TO PIGGYBACK. >> ANTHONY SAID NO PROBLEM.

>> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC? COULD WE HAVE A TABLE BY COMMISSIONER MAYOR SENT AND THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ISROW.

ROLL CALL. >> ISROW.

>> COMMISSIONER BRIER. >> COMMISSIONER MAYOR SENT.

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

>> BY SMEAR CUTLER. >> COMMENTS BY THE BROWARD

SHERIFF'S OFFICE. >> EVENING.

>> I'M HERE BECAUSE THE CAPTAIN IS OUT OF TOWN ENJOYING HIMSELF.

WE HAD A SMALL SPIKE IN CRIMES IN THE PINE STREET STATE AREA THEY ARE BEING. THEY ARE NOT ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY THAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST.

>> THE KEY FOB IS IN THE CAR. >> CRIME IS NOT FOR THAT WAS THIS TIME LAST YEAR. WE REMIND PEOPLE TO PLEASE LOCK THE CARS AND REPORT CRIMES AND THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> REMINDER I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY CRIME IS SPIKING AND CAR BURGLARIES ARE EVERYWHERE.

IF YOU PUT YOUR KEY IN THE HOUSE PARKLAND AND TRY FIVE DOORS IN THREE OF THEM WILL OPEN. THEY WILL NOT COME TO PARKLAND.

THEY WILL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. IF YOU WANT CRIME TO GO DOWN.

PARKLAND, TAKE YOUR KEYS AND PUT THEM IN THE HOUSE.

OUR CRIME RATE WILL GO DOWN. NO ONE HAS BEEN BREAKING WINDOWS. EVERY CAR BURGLARY HAS BEEN SOMEONE LEAVING THEIR KEY IN THE CAR.
