[5. Comments from the Public on Non-Agenda Items]
ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON A NON-AGENDA ITEM.>> GOOD EVENING. I'M ACTUALLY HERE TONIGHT ABOUT SOMETHING SOMEWHAT SERIOUS. I'M A BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL.
MY CHILDREN ARE PART OF THE BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM, AND I WAS ONE OF THE TEACHERS THAT AFTER THE TRAGEDY AT MSD THAT I OFFERED MY TIME AND SUBSTITUTED FOR SOME OF THE TEACHERS WHO COULDN'T RETURN. THE SCHOOL ITSELF IS IMPORTANT TO ME. I HAVE COLLEAGUES WHO WORK THERE AND PART OF THE COMMUNITY. I LIVE IN CORAL SPRINGS, BUT I AM ON THE BORDER OF PARKLAND. YOUR TARGET IS MY TARGET.
I AM HERE BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED RECENTLY WITH THIS MAN, AND I USE THE TERM LIGHTLY, WHO DESECRATED THE MEMORIAL AT THE SCHOOL. BASICALLY I HAVE SOMEWHAT OF A CONCERN AND A QUESTION AND PERHAPS A SUGGESTION MOVING FORWARD. MY CONCERN IS, I READ WHAT HE WAS ARRESTED FOR ON FIVE COUNTS. THREE OF THEM WAS FOR THE DESECRATION PART, VANDALISM. I AM NOT SURE OF THE TERM IT USED. THEY ARE HOLDING HIM ON PREVIOUS CHARGES OF BATTERY AND VIOLATING PROBATION.
I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ABOUT ANIMAL ABUSE AND KILLING.
HE KILLED A DUCK AND A POSSUM AND A RACCOON.
THAT IS ACTUALLY VERY SERIOUS, AND I'M SURE YOU ALL KNOW THAT.
I HATE TO BRING UP NIKOLAS CRUZ'S NAME, BUT FOR ME, BEING IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM NOW, IT HAS AFFECTED MY LIFE AS I'M SURE OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM, AND HE DID THE SAME THING.
HE WAS TORTURING ANIMALS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND PEOPLE SAW IT AND NOTHING HAPPENED. RECENTLY IN TEXAS THAT SCHOOL SHOOTER WAS KILLING ANIMALS. YOU ALL KNOW -- I'M NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING YOU DON'T KNOW. YOU ALL KNOW THIS IS HOW IT BEGINS. MY CONCERN IS, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO MAKE HIM AND OTHERS LIKE HIM AN EXAMPLE? I WORK IN A HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY ARE SAYING, OH, THAT'S ALL HE GOT CHARGED FOR? I WANT TO TELL THEM, NO.
HE IS A VERY VIOLENT INDIVIDUAL. I DON'T THINK ANY OF US WANT HIM OUT AND ABOUT AND DOING THAT TO THOSE IN -- INNOCENT ANIMALS, YOU START WITH THAT AND THEN YOU MOVE TO CHILDREN.
I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, WHAT CAN I DO? IF THERE'S NOT A LAW THAT -- I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THE DUCK AND THE RACCOON AND THE POSSUM ARE CONSIDERED PESTS, BUT REALISTICALLY, THEY'RE INNOCENT. I DON'T WANT TO USE THE WORD "MAN," BUT FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, IS THERE SOMETHING THAT I CAN DO? IS THERE SOME ROUTE I CAN TAKE
TO SEE THIS THROUGH? >> CAN I MAKE A SUGGESTION? THE THINGS THAT YOU ARE ASKING ABUT ARE THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD BE ADDRESSING WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
THEY ARE THE PROSECUTORS IN THE CASE.
THEY ARE THE ONES THAT YOU SHOULD BE REFERRING THESE KIND OF COMMENTS TO. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE DECISIONS ON WHAT TO CHARGE THE INDIVIDUAL WITH AND THAT TYPE OF THING. THE BROWARD STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS WHO YOU SHOULD BE DIRECTING YOUR COMMENTS TO.
>> YEAH. AND YOU COULD TALK TO MAJOR
>> I WILL MEET YOU OUTSIDE. >> WILL YOU MEET ME OUTSIDE?
>> I KNEW COMING HERE WOULD PUT ME ON THE RIGHT PATH.
>> AND THERE YOU GO. WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING AND
[00:05:03]
GIVING US YOUR THOUGHTS AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE. MAJOR RUSSO CAN DEFINITELY -->> I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
JEW THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON A NON-UH -- NON-AGENDA ITEM? SEEING THERE IS NONE, WE WILL MOVE TO COMMENTS BY THE COMMISSION. COMMISSIONER MAYEROHN?
>> A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. TODAY IS FLORIDA MISSING CHILDREN'S DAY. IT IS AN ANNUAL CEREMONY AND REMEMBRANCE OF THE PASSING, PRESENT MISSING CHILDREN AND THE RECOGNITION OF THE CONTINUED EFFORTS TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN THROUGH PREVENTION AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.
THE CEREMONY REC COOK TPHAOEUZS -- RECOGNIZES LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CITIZENS PROTECTING FLORIDA'S CHILDREN AND HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED FOR COMMUNITIES TO WORK TOGETHER TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM VICTIMIZATION.
I WANT TO CONGRATULATE AND I GUESS MAJOR RUSSO STEPPED OUTSIDE, BUT HOPEFULLY SHE CAN HEAR.
I WANT TO CONGRATULATE DEPUTY BERMAN AND K-9 BAILEY FOR THE TEAM OF THE YEAR AWARD AND THEIR SERVICE TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY. CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM.
A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT THERE WAS SOME OVER THE WEEKEND SOME SOCIAL MEDIA CHATTER REGARDING LIGHTNING ISSUES.
I DID REACH OUT TO OUR CITY MANAGER AND I ADD CONVERSATION WITH OUR PARK AND REC DIRECTOR JUST IN HOW TO INFORM THE PUBLIC MORE SO THAN NECESSARILY ARE LEAGUES.
I KNOW THE LEAGUES ARE TRAINED AND THEY GO THROUGH A PROCESS.
I KNOW A COUPLE YEARS AGO, MAYOR, YOU WERE STRONG IN ADVOCATING AND WE FOUND AN ISSUE THAT NOT EVERYBODY COULD SEE THE PROTECTORS. DETECTORS.
WE GOT DETECTORS AT TERRA MAR PARK.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN SEND OUT A MESSAGE TO BE VIGILANT.
WE DID HAVE A LIGHTNING STRIKE AT HENDRIX -- HENDRICKS FARM.
ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, 4:00, 5:00, YOU KNOW, IT RAINS AND LIGHTNING GOES OFF, AND JUST TO MAKE SURE WE ARE VIGILANT AND WE HAVE A ROBUST ENFORCEMENT APPROACH TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF EVERYBODY. HOPING WE CAN START DOING THAT.
TOMORROW IS THE SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING DELEGATE MEETING.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT OR NOT.
WE WILL ADDRESS THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT THAT STILL HAS WORK TO DO. AFTER TOMORROW'S MEETING, I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A MORE COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE.
I DO WANT TO THANK REPRESENTATIVE OCHOFSKY FOR FIGHTING TO GET US A FLOOD MITIGATION GRANT FOR THE RANCHES, AND A SHOUTOUT TO SHERRY AND CHRIS FOR THEIR GREAT WORK. JUST TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE, THERE WERE 971 PROJECTS SUBMITTED FOR CONSIDERATION FOR A TOTAL -- AND THIS IS STATEWIDE, BUT $846 MILLION.
ONLY 238 OF THOSE PROJECTS WERE AWARDED FOR A TOTAL OF 175 MILLION. GREAT WORK AND GREAT WORK BY REPRESENTATIVE CHOFSKY. THIS WAS NOT A COMBINATION OF THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE. THIS WAS A REPRESENTATIVE PROGRAM. THERE WAS A SHORT PERIOD FOR TIME SHARING SO KUDOS TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS.
AND FINALLY I WANT TO CONGRATULATE ALLISON WHO IS ON THE FLORIDA MUNICIPAL -- THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES MUNICIPAL CITIES COMMITTEE. YOU ARE GOING THERE WHEN?
>> CONGRATULATIONS. THAT'S MY COMMENTS.
>> COMMISSIONER BRIER? >> THANK YOU.
I WILL BE BRIEF. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE ALLISON AND THANK REPRESENTATIVE OCHOFSKY AND OUR TEAM FOR THEIR WORK ON THE PROJECT. I GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT AND I KNOW OUR CITY DOES. I WANT TO KEEP THE SCOPINO FAMILY IN OUR PRAYERS. AS MANY PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY KNOW, TRAVIS SCAPINO HAS BEEN A DEDICATED -- HIM AND HIS WIFE AND THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY HAVE BEEN DEDICATED TO SERVING OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH PARKLAND SOCCER AND THE VARIOUS ATHLETIC ENDEAVORS. SO WE WANT TO KEEP THEM IN OUR PRAYERS. I AM SO PROUD OF OUR COMMUNITY
[00:10:01]
FOR RALLYING AROUND AND HELPING THEM.WE HAD A GREAT SHRED-A-THOPB AND GOT FEEDBACK ON THAT.
AND WE JUST HAD OUR GRAND OPENING AND FOR THE COVERED BRIDGE PARK WHICH IS IN MY VIEW THE OLD PARKLAND CHARM.
I ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS ESPECIALLY AS THE WEATHER DIPS COOLER TO GET OUT THERE AND ENJOY THE COVERED BRIDGE PARK.
IT IS A GREAT TREASURE ON THE EASTSIDE OF OUR CITY.
WE HAVE PARK -- PARKLAND FLAG FOOTBALL THAT KICKED OFF, NO PUN INTENDED AND SOCCER IS SIGNING UP.
WE HAVE THE SPLASH BASH COMING UP ON SATURDAY MORNING.
I ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SIGNED UP TO DO THAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE ARE AT CAPACITY OR NOT, BUT THAT IS ALWAYS WELL-ATTENDED. WE HAVE THE HUH -- HABAD IS DOING THE OPENING FOR ALYSSA'S PLAYGROUND ON SUNDAY MORNING.
THAT WILL BE A GREAT EVENT. AND THEN ONE OF OUR CHARITIES, A CHARITY THAT WAS STARTED NOT TOO LONG AGO TO HELP NEEDY FAMILIES AND SINGLE MOMS AND THOSE IN DIRE FINANCIAL STRAITS.
THEY ARE HAVING THEIR EVENT ON THE 22ND OF SEPTEMBER WHICH IS A GREAT CAUSE. WITH THAT, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS, MAYOR. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER IZRO.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. CONGRATULATIONS, ALLISON.
A VERY COOL HONOR. AND THANK YOU, CHRISTINE OCHOFSKY, NOT TO BE LABOR THE POINT, BUT ANY TIME WE CAN GET MONEY FOR THE TEAM. IT IS BECOMING A BIGGER PART OF OUR ARSENAL WHICH IS REALLY COOL TO SEE.
YOU CAN ADD SERVICES WITHOUT INCREASING THE TAX BASE SO CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU GUYS. FOR THOSE WHO WERE NOT ABLE TO TUNE INTO THE WORKSHOP WE HAD AT 6:00, THERE WAS A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE COMING BEFORE US THAT I WANT EVERYBODY TO BE ON THEIR RADAR. IT IS THE ISSUE OF SCHOOL BOUNDARIES FOR MSD HAS BECOME A SEGREGATED ISSUE IN THE SENSE THAT BROWARD SCHOOL USUALLY DOES A GENERAL BOUNDARY PROCESS, BUT THEY HAVE AGREED TO TRAOEPL LINE ON A PERIL -- AGREED TO A PARALLEL TRACK AND THEY AGREED THE CAPACITY ISSUE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
FOR THAT REASON, ANYONE LISTENING TO THIS WHO IS WILLING AND ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AND HELP IN THIS EFFORT, IT IS GONNA TAKE A VILLAGE. SO WE REALLY NEED AS MUCH SUPPORT AS WE CAN GET. THERE IS A MEETING ON OCTOBER 3RD AT 6:30 P.M. AT CORAL SPRINGS MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THAT IS THE INFORMATIONAL MEETING TO LAYOUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND THE PARAMETERS AND IT WILL INFORM THE RESIDENTS AS TO WHAT THIS PROCESS IS ABOUT. BETWEEN THEN AND NOVEMBER 3RD, IT ALLOWS ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED, ANY -- ANYONE WHO CAN FIND THE PARAMETERS ON GOV SCHOOLS.COM.
WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR SUPPORT IN REVIEWING THE CRITERIA, BE MINDFUL AND BE ENGAGED IN ASKING QUESTIONS AND SEEKING OUT FOX ABOUT DEMOGRAPHICS WHICH YOU CAN REACH OUT TO JILL YOUNG OR ANYONE ELSE FROM THE WEBSITE CONTACT LIST.
THEY WILL DIRECT YOU TO HER. THE OVERALL BOUNDARY MAP AND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WILL BE THE GEOGRAPHICAL LIMITATIONS, O THE OTHER CRY TEAR -- CRITERIA AND PUT TOGETHER PROPOSALS. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO COME FROM A PHD, BUT IT JUST HAS TO BE ENOUGH TO MAKE A DECISION.
IT WILL IMPACT OUR SCHOOLS, OUR CITY AND A LOT OF THE CONVERSATION WE ARE HAVING ABOUT THE NEED FOR A PROBLEM TO THE CAPACITY. OCTOBER 3RD, 6:30 P.M. IS THE INFORMATIONAL MEETING. NOVEMBER 3RD AT 6:30 P.M., CORAL SPRINGS MIDDLE, THAT WILL BE TO SHARE AND DISCUSS THE DRAFT PROPOSALS. IN BETWEEN THAT PERIOD IS WHEN WE ARE COUNTING ON EVERYONE TO GET INVOLVED.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE AND GALVANIZE, PLEASE REACH OUT TO JACKIE WYMIER AND SHE CAN HELP COORDINATE THAT.
IT IS IMPORTANT WE GROW IN THE SAME DIRECTION IN THIS EFFORT.
NEXT IS JUST TAKING A MOMENT AND RECOGNIZING THAT YESTERDAY WAS TWOT -- 21ST ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 WHICH IS CRAZY TO THINK ABOUT THERE IS AN ENTIRE GENERATION THAT HAS BEEN BORN THAT DID NOT LIVE THROUGH THIS TRAGEDY AND THEY ARE READING AND LEARNING ABOUT IT SECONDHAND. THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THAT SAME INTRINSIC FEELING OR THAT -- THAT RESULTED FOR MOST PEOPLE FROM THAT EVENT.
THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT A LOT OF THE COUNTRY TOGETHER, DESPITE OUR DIFFERENCES. THAT'S WHAT CREATED ALMOST MORE OF A UNIFIED NATION AT A TIME WHERE I THINK MOST PEOPLE EITHER POLITICALLY OR SOCIALLY WHAT HAVE YOU, HAD BEEN DIVIDED.
[00:15:04]
I JUST WANT TO TAKE A SECOND TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO KIND OF BE ABLE TO DRAW FROM THE LESSONS WE LEARNED FROM THAT.
I THINK NOW MORE THAN EVER IT IS IMPORTANT.
HOPEFULLY PEOPLE ARE NOT JUST USING THE ANNIVERSARY AS A TIME TO, YOU KNOW, REMEMBER AND REFLECT AND KIND OF PAY TRIBUTE TO THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND AFFECTED BY IT, BUT ON A GOING FORWARD BASIS OF HOW IT CAN INFLUENCE AND COLOR WHAT WE DO ON -- DO GOING FORWARD AND HELP SOLVE OUR ISSUES AND BECOME A MORE UNIFIED NATION. ALSO HAD THE HONOR OF ATTENDING A TED DOICH FAREWELL RECEPTION. AFTER 12 YEARS OF SERVICE, THE MAN HAS A LENGTHY TRACK RECORD. ALL OF WHICH IS ALMOST UNPARALLELED IN TERMS OF THE DIFFERENT AREAS HE HAS HIT AND THE DIFFERENT POLICIES HE AFFECTED, WHETHER IT IS LGBTQ TO GUN VIOLENCE AND HIS SUPPORT TO THE MSD FAMILIES IN THE WAKE OF THE TRAGEDY AND TO ISRAEL AND MANY OF THE ISSUES OF HOMELESSNESS AND HUNGER. LISTENING TO HIS SPEECH OF HIS ACCOLADES IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK MOST PEOPLE CAN ONLY DREAM ABOUT IN A LIFETIME CAREER. HE HAS DONE IT IN A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. WE ARE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR HIM AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT HE DOES IN HIS NEW ROLE. IT WAS NICE TO SEE WHAT PUBLIC SERVICE CAN AND SHOULD BE ABOUT. HE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THAT.
I ALSO ATTENDED THE COVERED BRIDGE PARK CEREMONY WHICH WAS ALSO A BEAUTIFULLY VENT. BEAUTIFUL EVENT.
THANK YOU TO THE CITY STAFF FOR PUTTING THAT TOGETHER.
NOT ONLY BRINGING NEW COMMISSIONS TOGETHER, BUT MEMBERS OF PARKLAND YEARS AGO FROM MAYOR MARKS TO THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS AND THE PEOPLE WHO ALL PLAYED A ROLE IN MAKING THE DECISION. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THE DECISION THAT WAS MADE YEARS AGO IS FINALLY COMING TO FRUITION. IT SHOWS THAT WHILE SOMETIMES THE VOTES MAY NOT MAKE AN IMPACT TOMORROW, IT REALLY DOES MATTER.
I AM GRATEFUL TO WORK WITH YOU ON THESE.
THERE ARE A BUNCH OF BIG ISSUES BEFORE US.
THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE CITY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER IN THE FUTURE. I AM HAPPIFUL THAT WE CAN LEARN FROM THE HISTORY AND USE IT ON A GOING FORWARD BASIS.
THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.
VICE MAYOR CUTLER. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND I WANT TO THANK THE COMMISSIONERS FOR TAKING EVERYTHING OFF MY LIST.
SO AS NOT TO REPEAT MUCH OF WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID, I WANT TO THANK REP ONCHOFSKY AND HER TEAM THAT'S FANTASTIC NEWS.
I WANT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT ON AUGUST 27TH, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE PORK LAND FORCEMAN'S ASSOCIATION YEAR-END AWARD BANQUET. IT WAS REALLY GREAT.
AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT THE HISTORY OF OUR CITY BEGAN WITH INVOLVEMENT BY OUR RESIDENTS IN HORSES AND A LOT OF EBG -- EQUINE EVENTS. THE HORESEMAN'S ASSOCIATION, THE PARKLAND HORSEMAN'S ASSOCIATION IS VERY ACTIVE.
ON THE 24TH AND THE 25TH OF THIS MONTH, THEY WILL BE AT THEY QUESTIONS STKRAOE -- THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER WITH THEIR SHOW. IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE CITY OR OLD TO THE CITY AND HAVEN'T SEEN THE HORSES IN AWHILE, THAT'S A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHAT THE CITY STARTED WITH.
I ALSO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE COVERED BRIDGE RIBBON CUTTING. I WANT TO THANK THE FORMER COMMISSIONER VICE MAYOR WHO IS ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS WHO LOBBIED STRONGLY AND I TOO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND AND TED HAS DONE A LOT FOR OUR KPHAOEUP. I KNOW HE WILL DO A LOT OF OTHER GREAT THINGS. I WISH HIM WELL.
AS TO 9/11, FROM A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN THAT YOUNGER SET, WE DO CONTINUE ON A DAILY BASIS TO HAVE A MEMORIAL HERE AT THE PARKLAND LIBRARY FOR THE 9/11 EVENT.
MAYOR MARKS WAS ABLE TO SECURE PIECES OF THE TOWERS.
THEY ARE ON VIEW AT THE LIBRARY AND AT THE PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING. I ENCOURAGE YOU IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THAT TO PLEASE GO OVER AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THAT. THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.
>> THANK YOU VICE MAYOR. GOING LAST USUALLY LEAVES ME WITH NOT MUCH ELSE TO SAY. OBVIOUSLY SHERRY, CHRISTINE,
[00:20:06]
REPRESENTATIVE OFSHAFSKY, IT HAS BECOME MORE OF A THEME AND IT IS MORE OF A TOOL WE HAVE IN THE ARSENAL.THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
I JUST WANT TO TOUCH A LITTLE ON THE SCHOOL BOUNDARY PROCESS.
WE APPRECIATE RESIDENTS GETTING ENGAGED.
WE APPRECIATE THE TKPWROU -- THE BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOLS ACKNOWLEDGING THE OVER ENROLLMENT AT MSD AND WORKING TOWARD A SOLUTION. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHERE THAT LEADS. WE JUST WANT TO BE MINDFUL THAT, AGAIN, THIS IS A DIFFICULT PROCESS.
THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED.
WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL TO STAY POSITIVE AND STAY FOCUS ETD -- FOCUSED AND STAY PRODUCTIVE THERE SHOULDN'T BE BICKERING AMONGST EACH OTHER WHETHER YOU LIVE IN CORAL SPRINGS OR PARKLAND. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ALL NEIGHBORS AND WE ARE ALL FRIENDS.
LET'S KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN THIS PROCESS CONTINUES MOVING
[6. Presentation]
FORWARD. WITH THAT WE WILL START WITH OUR PRESENTATION WITH AN UPDATE FROM BROWARD COUNTY PROPERTYAPPRAISER. >> ONE OF THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE
YOU WILL EVER MEET. >> I UH PHRAOERB KWRAEUT IT -- I APPRECIATE IT, MR. MAYOR. IS THIS ON? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME TODAY.
HAVE I BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS.
I LOVE THE STKEU -- THE CITY OF PARKLAND.
THERE ARE A FEW PLACES I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPRESENT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. YEARS AGO I WAS ELECTED TO THE FLORIDA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND ALL OF PARKLAND WAS IN THE DISTRICT. I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED SINCE THEN. I NEVER MET SOMEBODY THAT LIVES IN PARKLAND WHO DISLIKES LIVING IN PARKLAND.
YOU DO A FANTASTIC JOB FOR THE PEOPLE OF PARKLAND.
AND I THINK IT IS AWESOME, AND WE WERE SPEAKING ABOUT THIS BEFORE, HOW COLLEGIAL OF A BODY THIS IS.
THE FACT THAT YOU WORK TOGETHER AND OF COURSE YOU WON'T ALWAYS AGREE, BUT YOU DO IT IN A NICE FASHION WHERE YOU TREAT EVERYBODY WITH RESPECT AND RESIDENTS WITH RESPECT.
YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT GOVERNING BODY.
I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOU ALL. THERE WERE A TPAU THINGS I WAS HOPING TO TALK ABOUT TODAY. THE FIRST I WAS HOPING TO TALK ABOUT HOW OUR OFFICE CAN HELP THE PARKLAND COMMUNITY.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHERE PROPERTY VALUES ARE RIGHT NOW.
LIKE YOU CAN SEE EVERYWHERE ELSE, THEY ARE SKY ROCKETING.
AD SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART AND THAT IS PROTECTING FROM TITLE FRAUD. IT IS RAMPANT IN BROWARD COUNTY AND IT IS MY GOAL TO STOP IT. THERE ARE SEVERAL FUNCTIONS OF MY OFFICE. WE EVALUATE EVERY PROPERTY FOR VALUE. THE REASON IT IS IMPORTANT IS WHEN PEOPLE PAY PROPERTY TAXES, THE AMOUNT OF TAXES THEY PAY IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY WE SET AND THE TAX SET BY THE CITY OF PARKLAND AND THE COUNTY COMMISSION AND THE SCHOOL BOARD AND ALL OTHER TAXING AUTHORITIES.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE WANT TO DO IS GET CREDIT.
BROWARD COUNTY IS A BIG STATE. WE HAVE MORE PARCELS THAN EXISTS IN MANY STATES. EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE IN THE OFFICE DO A GOOD JOB, BUT MISTAKES CAN OCCUR AND MAYBE PEOPLE HAVE INFORMATION WE DON'T HAVE AND IT COULD REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAXES THEY PAY. LET ME GIVE THE RESIDENTS A QUICK EXAMPLE. LATER ON I MIGHT GET A PHONE CALL OR EMAIL FROM OUR RESIDENTS.
THEY LOOKED AT THEIR PROPERTY AND THEY WILL SEE WHAT WE VALUED THE PROPERTY A. THEY CALL ME AND SAY, MARTY, I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU VALUED THE PROPERTY THIS WAY.
ALL OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES SOLD FOR A SIMILAR AMOUNT THE YEAR BEFORE. MINE IS DIFFERENT.
IT IS LAW -- DILAPIDATED AND THERE IS WATER DAMAGE.
I SAY SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT BY SEPTEMBER 19TH.
IF IT IS INFORMATION THAT WE CAN BRING DOWN THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY WE WILL. THE SECOND WE DO, AND THIS IS WHAT I LOVE THE MOST, WE GIVE TAX EXEMPTIONS FOR THOSE WHO QUALIFY. THERE ARE A LOT OF EXEMPTIONS PEOPLE QUALIFY. THE MOST USED IS THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION. THIS IS THEIR PRIMARY RESIDENTS IT IS WHERE THEY GET A HOMESTEAD EX -- EX-- EXEMPTION.
IT CAN SAVE THEM 800, 900, A THOUSAND BUCKS A YEAR, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT GOING FORWARD. THE TAXES CANNOT GO UP A MAXIMUM OF 3% AND THAT IS IMPORTANT. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PROPERTY VALUES ARE REALLY INCREASING AND THE REASON BEING IS PEOPLE ARE MOVING FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND BUYING PROPERTIES AND PAYING TOP DOLLAR. SOMEBODY THAT OWNED THEIR HOME ON JANUARY 1ST 2022 AND DON'T HAVE A HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, CALL ME OR EMAIL ME, MAKE SURE YOU ARE HOMESTEAD
[00:25:03]
PROTECTED. ONCE YOU GET THAT, THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER EXSWREPL KWARB TKWAR. SENIORS, VETERANS, VISUALLY IMPAIRED, WIDOWS. ALSO IT IS A GREAT TIME TO COME AND SPEAK AND I APPRECIATE Y'ALL HAVING ME.EVERY RESIDENT OF PARKLAND GOT A DOCUMENT FROM ME IN THE MAIL.
IT IS NOT A TAX BILL. IT IS A DOCUMENT SO PEOPLE CAN MAKE SURE THEY DON'T OVERLY PAY ON THEIR PROPERTY TAXES.
IT SHOWS A FEW OF THE THINGS WE SPOKE IT.
SPOKE ABOUT. IT SHOWS THE DATES AND THE TIMES YOU WILL DISCUSS YOUR TAX RATE WITH YOUR BUDDY.
I TELL EVERYBODY GO TO THAT DOCUMENT AND READ IT TOP TO BOTTOM. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS, YOU HAVE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 19TH TO CONTACT ME AND EMAIL ME AND COME TO OUR OFFICE OR LET US COME TO YOU SO WE CAN APPLY IT SO IT IS REFLECTED IN THE TAX BILL. RIGHT NOW PARKLAND IS DOING VERY WELL. PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM ALL OVER AND MAKING PARKLAND THEIR HOME. IT IS HAPPENING FOR A FEW REASONS. ONE, IT IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, AND I THINK Y'ALL PROVIDE GREAT SERVICES TO THE PEOPLE OF PARKLAND. IN 2021 IF YOU TAKE THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AND PUT IT ON THE MARKET YOU WOULD GET $7.86 TKPOUR -- 4 BILLION. FAST-FORWARD FORWARD AND THERE IS A 29% INCREASE IN VALUE. THAT'S WHAT YOU WOULD GET IF YOU SOLD IT IN THE MARKET. THAT'S A BIG INCREASE.
THE TAXABLE VALUE IS A VALUE YOU ARE LOOKING AT TODAY AND YOU WILL DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU WILL GET TO PROVIDE GREAT SERVICES TO THE PEOPLE OF PARKLAND.
AND IN 2021, YOUR TAXABLE VALUE WHICH IS 6 BILLION AND 45 MILLION, FAST-FORWARD AND THERE IS ALMOST A 10% INCREASE TO 6.647 BILLION DOLLARS. IF YOU KEEP THE MILLAGE RATE, IT WILL BRING 2,000,588 THOUSAND MORE DOLLARS THIS YEAR.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN PARK LAND ARE HOMESTEAD.
THE VALUE CANNOT GO UP MORE THAN 3%.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE REVENUE IS BEING PAID BY PEOPLE COMING INTO PARKLAND AND PAYING TOP DOLLAR FOR PROPERTIES.
YOU ADD 1 MILLION 442THOUSAND TO THE TAX ROLL.
THE LARGEST WAS A SINGLE-FAMILY KHOEPL.
YOU HAVE 9,198 HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS IN PARKLAND AND 72 LOW INCOME SENIOR WHO BENEFIT FROM A LOW INCOME SENIOR EXEMPTION AND 376 WIDOWS WHO RECEIVE AN EXEMPTION.
AND A NOTE THAT IT WON'T APPLY THIS YEAR, BUT A CHANGE IN STATE LAW INCREASED THE WIDOWS EXEMPTION FOR NEXT YEAR.
WE WILL SAVE MORE BASED ON THE CHANGE IN STATE LAW.
YOU HAVE HERO PERMANENT DISABLED VETERANS AND FOUR AMERICAN HERO FIRST RESPONDERS WHO LIVE IN PARKLAND WHO PAY NO PROPERTY TAXES. YOU HAVE 10,542 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES HERE AND THE AVERAGE ASSESSED VALUE IS $620,974.
THE AVERAGE TAXABLE VALUE IS $574,933.
THE AVERAGE SALE PRICE FOR A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND RIGHT NOW IS 1 MILLION 248, 732.
THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN LAST YEAR.
THAT'S A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT PEOPLE ARE PAYING ON AVERAGE FOR HOMES HERE IN PARKLAND.
YOU HAVE 430 CONDOMINIUM P AO* -- PARSELS.
THE AVERAGE ASSESSED VALUE IS 279,000 THE TAXABLE VALUE IS 252 ,000, THE THE SALE PRICE IS MORE THAN LAST YEAR.
THE LAST THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT AND I KNOW YOU HAVE A LONG MEETING AHEAD, BUT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART. I APPRECIATE YOU GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THIS. IT IS MY GOAL AS A PROPERTY APPRAISER TO TKPW -- TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO CRACKDOWN ON TITLE FRAUD. SOUTH FLORIDA IS THE TITLE FRAUD CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. YOU HAVE CRIMINALS, TERRIBLE PEOPLE. THEY WALK IN AND FILE FAKE DEEDS ON PROPERTIES. THEY TAKE THE DEEDS AND TRY TO EX-- EXTORT PEOPLE FOR MONEY TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY AND THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME. THE REASON IT IS SO EASY IS THEL DOCUMENTS. THEY HAVE THE CRIMINALS WHO WILL FILE THE FAKE DEEDS AND DO SOMETHING NEFARIOUS WITH IT.
WE WANT PEOPLE TO FIGHT THE FRAUD BEFORE THE FRAUD OCCURS AND CAME UP WITH A GREAT PROGRAM A YEAR AGO AND SPENT NO TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND IT IS CALLED OWNER ALERT.
IF A RESIDENT GOES TO THE WEBSITE OR GOES ON OUR WEBSITE
[00:30:04]
AT BCPA.NET AND CLICKS ON OWNER ALERT THEY CAN SIGN UP.THEYIR NAME AND PARCELID -- PACLE ID AND PUT IN THEIR INFORMATION. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO VERIFY AS WELL SUCH AS A UTILITY BILL OR SOMETHING THAT SHOW THEY LIVE AT THE PROPERTY. IF ANYONE LEGITIMATE OR NOT FILES A DEED ON YOUR PROPERTY, YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED.
WE HAD 180,000 PROPERTY OWNERS SIGN UP SO FAR.
IT IS MY GOAL TO GET EVERY BROWARD COUNTY PROPERTY OWNER TO SIGN UP. THIS IS A CRUSADE OF MINE.
I SEE WHAT PEOPLE DO. THEY PICK ON THE MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS. THEY PICK ON SENIORS OR PEOPLE WHO MAY OWN PROPERTY HERE, BUT DON'T LIVE HERE.
THEY TRY TO PICK ON WHOEVER THEY CAN PICK ON THEY THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH THE MOST AND I WANT TO PUT AN END TO IT.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT TO PUT AN END TO THOSE DOING IT ON A LARGE SCALE.
WE WERE ABLE TO PROSECUTE AND CONVICT TWO PEOPLE THAT STOLE $12 MILLION OF PROPERTIES IN BROWARD COUNTY AND NEW YORK.
ONE OF THE PEOPLE CONVICTED RAN FOR THE STATE SENATE IN BROWARD COUNTY AND FORTUNATELY LOST. WE WORK WITH THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA AND PROSECUTED A MARRIED COUPLE WHO STOLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF PROPERTY IN BROWARD COUNTY AND THEY ARE GOING TO JAIL FOR A LONGTIME.
DID SHOWS HOW SMART THESE PEOPLE R-FPLT THEY DID SOMETHING LEGIT -- LAW ZIT MAT THEY -- LEGITIMATE AND THEY WOULD BE MULTIMILLIONAIRES. ONE WIFE WORKED IN THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT AND THE OTHER -- OTHER IN THE REAL ESTATE DISTRICT.
SHE WAS FIND OUT WHEN SOMEBODY DIED AND SHE WOULD GO TO THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY AND FIND OUT IF THEY HAD PROPERTY AND HEIRS. IF THEY HAD PROPERTY WITH NO HEIR THEY WOULD FILE FAKE DEEDS AND TAKE THE MORTGAGE AND SELL THE PROPERTY. THEY PROFITED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THEY WERE FOUND GUILTY AND ABOUT TO SERVE VERY LONG PRISON SENTENCES AND SOMETHING I AM HAPPY ABOUT, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE A MARRIED COUPLE, TWO MISS -- PRISONS. WE ENTER NEED AN AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE'S OFFICE AND GREGORY TONY AND THE BROWARD SHERIFF AND WILL PROSECUTE THESE PEOPLE. I WANT EVERY PERSON IN BROWARD COUNTY THAT IS THINKING OF DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.
WE WILL WORK HARD WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT TO PUT THEM IN JAIL.
I COULD GO ON AND ON. I HAD FIVE CUPS OF COFFEE AND TWO RED BULLS AND CAN GO ON AND ON.
>> WE CAN TELL. >> WE APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR STAFF SIN CREDIBLE. EVERY WEEK YOUR STAFF PROVIDES PERMITS AND INFORMATION WE NEED TO CAPTURE ALL OF THE VALUE WE NEED. THERE IS NO MORE EASY STAFF TO WORK WITH THAN THE STAFF AT PARKLAND AND I APPRECIATE YOU AND APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S SERVICE UP HERE.
>> THANK YOU. IT IS IMPRESSIVE LISTENING TO YOU SPEAK. IT IS FLUID AND AMAZING.
>> I APPRECIATE IT. >> FIRST OF ALL, WELCOME.
YOU ARE ALWAYS WAEL -- WELCOME TO PARKLAND.
ARE YOU LIKE ONE OF OUR OWN. THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPERTY VALUES CAN YOU SEND THAT TO US?
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> SEND IT TO NANCY OR WHATEVER.
SHE WILL DISSEMINATE IT. >> HE WILL SEND IT OVER TOMORROW AND HE WILL SEND IT OVER TO EVERYBODY.
I FORGOT TO THANK Y'ALL FOR SOMETHING.
I MISSED A CEREMONY THAT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO MY FAMILY.
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH IT MEANT TO US WHEN YOU HONORED MY BROTHER FOR BEING THE PARKLAND DEPUTY OF THE YEAR.
THAT WAS JUST AWESOME. IT WARMED OUR HEARTS.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.
>> ONE COMMENT. I KNOW YOU LIKE STATS.
I CLOCKED IT AT 700 WORDS A MINUTE AND YOU TOOK FOUR BREATHS DURING THAT ENTIRE THING. YOU HAVE REALLY BEEN TRAINING.
>> I TELL EVERYBODY IF I DON'T MAKE IT IN THIS FIELD
[INAUDIBLE]. >> IT IS GREAT SEEING YOU.
>> YOU AS WELL. >> I JUST THINK ARE YOU UH -- AWESOME, MARTY. AS PASSIONATE AS YOU ARE ABOUT YOUR WORK IS RARE, AND ESPECIALLY TO BE ABLE TO DO IT IN A WAY THAT IS SO INFORMATIVE WITHOUT DRONING ON.
YOU GIVE REAL DATA AND FACTS WHICH IS WHAT PEOPLE CAN SINK THEIR TEETH INTO. I APPRECIATE YOU GIVING US KUDOS FOR WHAT PARKLAND DOES, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR FLOWERS AS WELL. I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU BECAUSE I'M SURE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE LISTENING.
YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO CAN PETITION YOUR OFFICE IN THE EVENT THEY BELIEVE THE UH PRAISED VALUE IS LESS THAN STATED. YOU MENTIONED WATER DAMAGE OR TKAU LAP TATE -- DILAPIDATED. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE PEOPLE
[00:35:02]
CAN THINK ABOUT SUBSTANTIVELY OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN CONSIDERTHIS PROCESS? >> IF IT IS OKAY, CAN I ASK MY DIRECTOR OF REAL PROPERTY TO COME UP?
>> SURE, OF COURSE. >> HE IS A WHIZ WITH THIS AND I THINK A FABULOUS PERSON. HE RUNS THE DIVISION FOR THE OFFICE. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU AS WELL.
I TELL YOU, I THINK YOU HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB ON THE PARKLAND COMMISSION. I WAS PROUD WHEN YOU WERE
>> AND EXCITED FOR YOUR RELATIVE.
>> KNOCK ON WOOD. APPRECIATE THAT.
>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, COMMISSIONER.
WRAOE -- WE GET QUITE A FEW EMAILS ON PROPERTY DAMAGE ON THINGS SUCH AS MOLD AND FLOODING AND FIRE AND HURRICANE DAMAGE.
MY FIRST QUESTION IS ALWAYS HOW CAN I HELP YOU? THAT'S ALWAYS MY FIRST QUESTION. WE SEND AN APPRAISER OUT THERE TO TAKE PHOTOS. PHOTOS OF THE DATE THE DAMAGE OCCURRED OR ANY TYPE OF DAMAGE LIKE FIRE, WATER, MOLD, ANYTHING THAT WILL MOVE YOU OUT OF YOUR HOUSE FOR A FEW TIMES.
YOU CAN WORK WITH ME AS FAR AS THE INSURANCE CLAIMS AND THEN WE CAN GO OUT FROM THERE AND SEE IF THERE IS ANY OTHER INFORMATION. WHEN YOU HAVE MOLD REMEDIATION AND THAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN HAVE.
WE ASK THAT YOU PREPARE ANY TYPE OF FIRE, MOLD AND SO IT IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE DOCUMENT THAT AS SOON AS IT HAPPENS.
WE GOT ALL OF THE INFORMATION WE CAN TO MAKE SURE WE CAN REDUCE THE PROPERTY VALUE FOR THE COMING YEAR AND WORK WITH THEM
GOING FORWARD. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT.
APPRECIATE IT. IF IT IS OKAY, JORDAN, MAY I
ADDRESS ONE MORE THING? >> SURE.
>> YOU HAD SPOKEN ABOUT YOUR WONDERFUL STATE REPRESENTATIVE, CHRISTINA. THIS YEAR ALONG THOSE LINES SHE WAS VERY HELPFUL IN HELPING US PASS AN IMPORTANT BILL FOR PEOPLE GOING THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME.
SHE WORKED WITH MARY WOODSON AND A FEW OTHER REPS AND IT GOT THROUGH. IT IS CALLED AN ABATEMENT BILL.
WHAT IT DOES, IF ANYBODY'S HOME -- AND IT IS RETROACTIVE BACK TO JANUARY 1ST OF 2022. ANYBODY THAT LIVES IN PARKLAND, IF THEIR HOME WAS DESTROYED AND IT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY UNINHABITABLE, AND THERE WERE A FEW HOMES THAT HAPPENED.
IT WAS A FIRE -- IT HAS TO BE UNINTENTIONAL.
IF THAT HAPPENED, WHAT THEY CAN DO IS APPLY FOR AN ABATEMENT FROM OUR OFFICE. BASICALLY THEY WILL ONLY PAY PROPERTY TAXES FOR THE TIME OF YEAR THAT THE PROPERTY WAS IN USE. IT IS A GREAT BILL AND CAN SAVE PEOPLE A LOT OF MONEY. IF YOUR HOME WAS DESTROYED, CONTACT US SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THEY ONLY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES AND NOT PAY FOR THE FULL YEAR.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP BECAUSE I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT
FOR PEOPLE HERE. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND IT COULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH WITHOUT CHRISTINE WHO IS

[9. Fiscal Year 2023 Budget Items]
ANTHONY, DO YOU WANT TO TAKE OVER?>> SURE, THANK YOU, MAYOR. FOR THE RECORD, ITEMS 9A AND 9B ARE THE PRAU -- PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR BUDGET.
I KNOW STAFF LIKES TO GIVE A PRESENTATION ON BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER SO I WILL READ THE TITLES INTO THE RECORD.
AS A REMINDER WE NEED TWO VOTES. ITEM 9A, ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2023MILLAGE RATE. AN ORDINANCE THE CITY OF COMMISSION AND THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA ADOPTING THE MILLAGE RATE TO BE LEVIED FOR FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2022 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2023, STATING THE PERCENTAGE CHANGE BY WHICH THE MILLAGE RATE EXCEEDS THE ROLL BACK RATE AS COMPUTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 200.065.
[00:40:06]
ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET AND FIRST READING.THE ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA, ADOPTING A BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2022 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2023, AND PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVER ABILITY AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. AND FOR THE RECORD, THE PROPOSED OPERATING MILLAGE RATE FOR 2023 IS 4.29.79MILLS.
AND THE PROPOSED MILLAGE IS 7.60 MORE THAN THE ROLL BACK RATE OF 3.9943. CALCULATED PURSUANT TO FLORIDA
LAW. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS. FOR THE RECORD, CHRIS JOHNSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR. IT IS A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW MARTY. I HAVEN'T HAD THAT MANY RED BULLS OR MOUNTAIN DEWS AND HE EVEN TOOK A FEW OF MY SLIDES AWAY AS WELL. WITH THAT SAID, TONIGHT IS THE FOURTH STEP IN A FIVE H*F STEP -- 5-STEP BUDGET PROCESS.
IT IS THE FIRST BUDGET HEARING ON THE MILL -- MILLAGE RATE.
IT IS THE SECOND AND FINAL HEARING FOR THE FIRE AND SOLID WASTE ASSESSMENT. THE HEARING WILL BE NEXT WEDNESDAY. HERE IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE THINKING. IT WAS SECONDS .6 MILLION AND IT WAS JUST ABOUT A 10% INCREASE. OUR NEW CONSTRUCTION VALUE WAS 142 MILLION AND OUR TOTAL INCREASE WAS 602 MILLION.
AS MARTY SAID, 82% OF OUR HOMES ARE HOMESTEADED.
THEY CANNOT INCREASE MORE THAN 3% IN PROPERTY VALUE IN ANY GIVEN YEAR. THAT IS KEY WITH US BEING A HOMESTEADED COMMUNITY. 82% AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT HOMESTEAD. AGAIN, THIS BUDGET AS WE MENTIONED IN JULY AND AUGUST IS 4.2979 MILLS WHICH WAS THE SAME AS LAST YEAR BASED ON THE 6.6 BILLION PROPERTY VALUE.
REVENUE WILL INCREASE 2.3 MILLION WHICH IS JUST BELOW -- 27 MILLION EXCUSE ME. AS ANTHONY SAID IT IS CALCULATED WITH 3.9943 MILLS. AS DIRECTOR OF STRATEGIC PLANNING IN APRIL AND THEY GAVE US PERMISSION TO INCREASE $290 PERES DEN SHALL USE IT IS INCREASING A MILLION DOLLARS AND THE POSSIBILITY TO ADD TO THE FIRE ASSESSMENT.
CURRENTLY IT IS $310 PER HOUSE. HERE YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY FOR THE LAST TENNIS CAL YEARS.
LAST 10 FISCAL YEARS. WE DID A FIRE ASSESSMENT STUDY THAT WILL SHOW UP TO $350 PERES DEN SHALL UNIT -- PER RESIDENTIAL UNIT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME WE DID THIS ASSESSMENT SINCE I BELIEVE 2010.
IT WAS LONG OVERDUE GIVEN THE GROWTH WE HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST 10 TO 12 YEARS. OUR SOLID WASTE ASSESSMENT IS INCREASING FROM $403 TO $417. THIS IS AN AGREEMENT WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT. BASED ON THE CONTRACT IT CAN ONLY GO 3.5% IN ANY GIVEN YEAR. THAT'S HOW YOU GET FROM 403 TO 417. AS WE MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS SESSIONS ONCE WE GET TO FISCAL YEAR 2025, WE HAVE NO OTHER INCREASES AND WE STOP GETTING NEW GROWTH.
WE WILL HAVE OPERATIONAL COSTS FOR THE NEW 36-ACRE PARK AND CONTRACTUAL INCREASES. WE WILL INCREASE MORE THAN OUR NATURAL INCREASES. THOSE WILL BE FUTURE DISCUSSIONS HELD AT FUTURE STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSIONS.
I WANT TO ILLUSTRATE TO ANY RESIDENTS IN THE AUDIENCE OR ANYONE WATCHING AT HOME, THIS IS THE COMPONENT OF YOUR TAX BILL.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE MISTAKEN WHEN THEY THINK ALL OF THEIR TAXES GO TO THE CITY OF PARKLAND WICH IS NOT TRUE.
THIS CHART ILLUSTRATES THAT THE CITY RECEIVES 23% OF THE TAX
[00:45:04]
BILL WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD AND BROWARD COUNTY MAKING IT TWO-THIRDS OF THAT. AND THEN A LITTLE SMALL CHUNK BETWEEN HOSPITAL DISTRICTS AND SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND A FEW OTHER SMALLER AGENCIES.THIS IS HOW WE COMPARE TO OTHER NEIGHBORING CITIES.
IT IS TWO MILLS LOWER THAN THE NEIGHBORING CORAL SPRINGS AND COCONUT CREEK AND EVEN LOWER THAN -- MORE OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MARGATE AND TAMARACK. ALL OF THIS WAS SAID PREVIOUSLY.
WE ARE ADDING THREE NEW POSITIONS.
THE FLEET MECHANIC TO SERVICE THE EVER-GROWING FLEET.
BY DOO -- BY DOING THAT WE ARE ELIMINATING FOUR POSITIONS.
IT CALLS FOR A COST OF LIVING INCREASE AND SO WE ARE GIVING THEM A 5% COST OF LIVING INCREASE.
THERE ARE INCREASES OF 0 TO 3% IN THE BUDGET.
ONE THING THAT IS REALLY EXCITING FOR US IS WE ARE GOING TO INCREASE THE CITY CONTRIBUTION TO THE RETIREMENT FUND. ANOTHER EXCITING THING IS IF THEY PUT THEIR SALARY IN, THEY WILL MATCH FOR ALL FULL TIME EMPLOYEES CITY WIDE. HEALTH INSURANCE IS GOING UP WHICH IS GREAT. THAT WAS 29%.
GENERAL INSURANCE IS GOING UP WHICH HAS BEEN BUDGETED ACCORDINGLY. BSO IS INCREASING $700,000.
AS MENTIONED BEFORE CORAL SPRINGS IS GOING UP A MILLION DLLARS. STABLIZATION COVERS US IN THE EVENT OF ANY EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND WE CAN BRIDGE THAT GAP. INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE OF 2.5% OF THE COVERED PROPERTY. OUR INFRASTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT FUNDING, WE HAVE INCREASED $50,000 SINCE THE JULY MEETING.
WE HAVE $500,000 SET ASIDE FOR EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT GOING FORWARD. BASE -- BASED ON WHERE WE ARE WE ARE SEEING 9.7%. THAT'S FOR ALL OF THE LABOR INCREASES AND COST OF FUEL. THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS IS SKY ROCKETING, UNFORTUNATELY. I WON'T GO THROUGH THESE IN THAT MANY DETAILS, BUT THE ONE THING THAT REALLY CHANGED IS THAT BASED ON YOUR GUIDANCE WE ADDED $200,000 FOR LIGHTING.
WE MOVED THAT UP FROM FISCAL 24 TO 23.
YOU WILL SEE THAT HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN ON THIS SLIDE.
OTHERWISE FROM THE PROPOSED WE REMOVED THE $625,000 FOR PARKSIDE DRIVE AND THEN WE MOVED PINE TRAIL PARK ENHANCEMENTS FROM THE REPLACEMENT FUND AND ADDED AN ADDITIONAL $100,000 TO BRING THAT TO $500,000 FOR 2023. THESE WERE ALL OF THE PROJECTS PRESENTED IN JULY. THERE WERE NO CHANGES HERE.
FOR THE ARPA FUND, WE HAD TWO -- ONE OR TWO OUT STANDING AND $1.5 MILLION. YOU WILL SEE THAT WE ACTUALLY REDUCED WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE ADOPTED AMOUNT BY THOSE OUTSTANDING PURCHASE ORDERS. YOU WILL SEE A LITTLE DECREASE IN THE OVERALL BUDGET BASED ON THE DESIGN SERVICES.
WE WANT TO POINT OUT THAT BACK TO A MONTH AGO WE RECEIVED 8.5 MILLION FROM THE STATE WHICH WE WERE HAPPY TO SEE.
WE MOVED THE PLAYGROUND TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND.
OTHERWISE ALL OF THE -- ALL OF THESE HAVE STAYED THE SAME IN JULY AND AUGUST AND THERE WERE NO CHANGES.
I WAS GOING TO WHIP THROUGH THIS REAL QUICK.
THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHANGES SINCE OUR JULY OR AUGUST MEETINGS.
[00:50:02]
SO THE OVERALL TOTAL CAPITAL PROGRAM BETWEEN THE FOUR FUNDS IS JUST OVER $21 MILLION. AND THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING IN THE 36-ACRE PARK AND THE ARPA FUNDS AND THE REPLACEMENT FUNDS.IT IS A HOLE OF $21 MILLION. WITH THAT I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOU ALL MAY HAVE ON THE UPCOMING MILLAGE
RATE AND BUDGET. >> AS ALWAYS, CHRIS, GREAT PRESENTATION AND IT IS NICE TO SEE THAT PARKLAND IS IN A GREAT FINANCIAL POSITION. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. DOES ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS? ANYONE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION?
>> ONE STATEMENT. I KNOW IT IS CURRENTLY NOT IN OUR BUDGET BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REIMBURSEMENT RATE IS, BUT IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT SINCE THE SCHOOL BOARD REFERENDUM WENT THROUGH THAT THEY WERE GOING TO NEGOTIATE A HIGHER RATE FOR REIMBURSE -- REIMBURSEMENT FOR SRO'S AND HOPEFULLY INCLUDE THE SRO SERGEANT.
THAT MAY BE ANOTHER $350,000 TO $200,000 THAT WILL COME BACK TO US. KNOWING IT IS NOT IN THE BUDGET
NOW. >> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO COMMENT ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? COME TO THE PODIUM IF YOU HAVE A COMMENT. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR CHRIS SEPARATELY AFTERWARDS, YOU CAN BY ALL MEANS APPROACH HIM AFTER.
>> ADDRESS. >> I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF BROWARD COUNTY SINCE 1970. I HAVE SEEN THESE LITTLE CITIES GROW. I HAVE SEEN THEM START WITH LOW MILLAGES TO HIGH MILLAGES. WHEN TIMES WERE GOOD, THEY DIDN'T TAKE THE TIME TO BENEFIT FROM THAT.
THEY DIDN'T PAYOFF THEIR DEBT AND LOWER THE MILLAGE WHEN THERE WAS A CHANCE TO LOWER THEIR MILLAGE.
WHAT I AM HERE FOR TODAY IS TO ENCOURAGE THAT YOU TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT REDUCING OUR MILLAGE, ESPECIALLY IN VIEW OF WHAT THE PROPERTY APPRAISER SAID. WE ARE IN GREAT FINANCIAL SHAPE.
IF WE ARE, NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS MILLAGE.
YOU ARE NOT REDUCING IT. YOU ARE IN FACT INCREASING EVERYONE'S TAXES BECAUSE OF THE HUGE -- LIKE MARTY SAID, PROPERTY VALUES SKY ROCKETING. PARKLAND IS DOING VERY, VERY WELL. SOMEONE SAID 29%.
I'M NOT SURE. WE DO KNOW AND I KNOW THAT PROPERTY VALUES HAVE GONE UP SUBSTANTIALLY.
THAT'S THE TIME YOU TAKE TO REDUCE THE MILLAGE.
WE HAD AN OVER ALL INCREASE OF 40%.
THE PROPERTY VALUES WENT UP AND THE MILLAGE WENT UP AND WE ALSO INSTITUTED A FRANCHISE FEE WITH FPNL.
I KNOW PEOPLE DON'T TALK ABOUT IT AND I DON'T SEE IT IN THE REPORT. WHY ARE WE STILL GOING AHEAD WITH THE FRANCHISE FEE? I HEARD AT THE TIME THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A TEMPORARY THING, BUT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE A PERMANENT THING. I KNOW IT'S NOT A LOT OF MONEY.
IT IS ONLY $20 A MONTH. BUT EVERYONE IN THE CITY PAYS THAT FRANCHISE FEE. WE WERE PROUD TO SAY WE DIDN'T HAVE A FRANCHISE FEE. WHY DON'T WE GO BACK TO THAT POINT AND ELIMINATE THE FRANCHISE FEE? THE OTHER THING IS WE HAD A GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND THAT I DIDN'T SEE IN THIS REPORT AT ALL.
HAS THAT BEEN PAID OFF? DOES ANYONE KNOW THAT?
THERE WAS A GO BOND -- >> WE DO NOT HAVE A GO BOND.
CHRIS CAN TALK TO YOU AFTERWARDS.
>> MAYBE YOU ARE NOT CALLING IT A GO BOND.
DO WE OWE ANY MONEY TO ANY BANK? >> AFTER YOUR COMMENTS, CHRIS --
YOU CAN GET TOGETHER WITH CHRIS. >> AT THE TIME I WAS HERE WE OWED MONEY TO A BANK. IT WASN'T IN THE NATURE OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND BECAUSE IT WAS BACKED BY THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE CITY. IT WASN'T A REVENUE BOND.
I THINK WE OUGHT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, IF WE HAVE THE BOND STILL OUT THERE. I THINK WE SHOULD PAY IT OFF.
MAKES OR -- MAKE OURSELVES HEALTHY AND MAKE OURSELVES ABLE TO INCREASE THE MILL -- MILLAGE WHEN WE REALLY NEED IT.
NOW IS THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT GOOD TIMES AND REDUCING OUR
MILLAGE. >> AND NOT TO GET INTO A BACK AND FORTH, YOU CAN BE SEATED, THANK YOU, JUST TO POINT OUT PER THE PRESENTATION, WAS IT 82, 85% OF OUR HOMES ARE HOMESTEADED?
[00:55:01]
IT GIVES US A MAXIMUM OF A 3% INCREASE.COME THE YEAR 2025 OUR AD VALORUM WILL NOT MATCH THE INCREASE IN THE FIRE AND BSO SERVICES.
WE WILL BE IN A DEFICIT IN 2025. WHILE WE MAY BE IN GOOD FINANCIAL SHAPE AS WE ALWAYS ARE , IN MY OPINION IT IS NOT TIME TO STOP CUTTING WHEN IN TWO YEARS YOU ARE OPERATING IN A DEFICIT. I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS ALL
THE SAME. >> MOTION TO APPROVE.
>> WE HAVE ONE MORE. >> SORRY.
ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK?
>> I THINK MY QUESTION WAS ANSWERED.
I SAW THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WAS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, AND I SAW IT AS A LUMP SUM, BUT I SAW THE SLIDE ESSENTIALLY WENT THROUGH IT AND MY QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE WHAT ABOUT PINE TREE ROADS. I KNOW IT IS A SORE SUBJECT WITH YOU ALL, BUT WE BUILT THIS CITY. THA*SZ -- THAT'S MY COMMENT.
THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC? >> IF THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER,

>> NOW MAKE YOUR COMMENT. >> I PREPARED SOME REMARKS SO I WILL READ THEM. AS WE OBVIOUSLY PREPARE FOR THE ANNUAL BUDGET AND THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT FEE, FOR ME IT IS ALWAYS A DIFFICULT PROCESS AND I APPRECIATE THE PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING YOU HAVE. I ALSO APPRECIATE THIS YEAR WE CONDUCTED A STUDY TO DETERMINE OPTIONS ON HOW TO SET THE RATE FOR FIRE ASSESSMENT. I THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING THAT TO OCCUR. I RECOGNIZE THAT ANY SYSTEM OR METRIC OF ASSESSING FOR FIRE PROTECTION COSTS WILL ALWAYS BE OPEN TO CRITICISM OR SUGGESTION OR SOME ALTERNATIVE METHOD OR APPROACH. AS A FAIR MEANS TO SET THE RATE FOR FIRE ASSESSMENT SERVICES, HAVE I CONSISTENTLY ADVOCATED FOR WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE SIMPLIFIED FIRE FEE.
THIS IS A TWO-TIERED METHODOLOGY AND FOCUSED ON THE BUILT IN ENVIRONMENT ON EACH PARCEL WHICH IS PROTECTED BY THE FIRE SERVICE WHICH IS TIER1 AND THE AVAILABILITY OF THE FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES THAT EVENLY BENEFITS EACH PARCEL IN THE CITY ALSO KNOWN AS READY TO SERVE WHICH IS TIER2.
THIS METHOD PROVIDES AN EFFICIENT TOOL IN MY OPINION USING RELIABLE DATA AS A MEANS FOR OUR COMMISSION TO FUND ESSENTIAL FIRE SERVICES AND A LOGICAL AND REASONABLE APPROACH TO SHARE BENEFITS, BURDENS AND COSTS OF THE FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES EQUITABLY AMONG ALL PROPERTY OWNERS IN OUR COMMUNITY. THAT IS WHY I CONSISTENTLY CANNOT SUPPORT THE FIRE ASSESSMENT FEE WHICH IS BASED UPON CALLS FOR SERVICE. IT IS NOT TIERED.
IT ASSESSES ONLY PROPERTY THAT'S HAVE A STRUCTURE.
IN MY OPINION, IT IS NOT EQUITABLY SHARED AMONG ALL PROPERTY OWNERS IN OUR CITY THAT BENEFIT FROM FIRE SERVICES.

[11. Regular Agenda]
>> WE ARE NOW ON ITEM 11A. CREATING DRIVEWAY EXPANSION REGULATIONS, SECOND READING. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION AND CITY OF PARKLAND FLORIDA AMENDING THE CODE AMENDING ARTICLE 90 OFF STREET PARKING LOADING AND SECTION 90-52. LOW -- LOCATION, CHARACTER AND SIZE, PROVIDE REGULATIONS RELATED TO DRIVEWAY WIDTH FOR SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING UNITS, PROVIDING CONFLICT AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THIS IS THE SECOND READING.
>> GOOD EVENING. HAVE I A BRIEF PRESENTATION IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO GO THROUGH IT.
AS A REMINDER WHAT WE DISCUSSED BEFORE IS DEALING WITH OFF STREET PARKING AND DRIVEWAY EXPANSION.
IT IS IN SECTION 9520 OF THE CODE.
SKWR*EUGS TO RE-- JUST TO REMIND YOU OF TERMS THAT IS IMPORTANT, LOCK FRONTAGE IS THE -- LOT FRONTAGE IS THE WIDTH OF THE LOT AT THE BACK EDGE OF THE SIDEWALK.
AND IMPORTANT TO THE ORDINANCE IS AN UNDERSTANDING AND DEFINITION OF THE REQUIRED FRONT YARD.
THAT'S THE AREA BETWEEN THE MINIMUM FRONT SETBACK LINE AND THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE. YOU CAN SEE THE EXPANSIVE WIDTH OF THE LOT. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS COME UP TO THE FACE OF THE HOUSE BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE HOUSE IS SET FURTHER BACK FROM THE MINIMUM SETBACK.
THAT YARD AREA IS THE MINIMUM SETBACK IN THE FRONT TO THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE TO THE WIDTH OF THE LOT.
JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THOSE NUMBERS LOOK, WHEN YOU HAVE A SMALL LOT AND THAT'S PRIMARILY WHERE THE STAFF HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON VERSUS THE LARGE E -- LARGER LOT, WHEN YOU HAVE A SMALL PLOT WITH A TYPICAL SINGLE-FAMILY HOME ON A 50 OR 55-FOOT WIDE LOT WITH A TWO-CAR DRIVEWAY, YOU GENERALLY HAVE ABOUT 20 FEET CROSSING TO THE SIDEWALK.
IT IS CROSSING THE LOT FRONTAGE. AND WHEN YOU GET INSIDE, THE COVERAGE THAT IS IN THE REQUIRED FRONT YARD IS THE DRIVEWAY THAT IS IN THE YARD BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND THE SIDEWALK.
ON A TYPICAL TWO-CAR DRIVEWAY YOU CAN SEE THAT ABOUT 40% ON A 50-FOOT WIDE LOT. A LOT OF HOMEOWNERS ARE REQUESTING PERMITS TO EXPAND THOSE DRIVEWAYS.
RIGHT NOW THE CURRENT QUOD ONLY REQUIRES A 5-FOOT SETBACK ON EACH SIDE. IF THAT EXPANSION OCCURRED, AND THIS WAS A RECENT PERMIT, IT WOULD GO TO APPROXIMATELY 80%.
YOU GET UP ABOVE 75 -- 70, 75% AND THAT'S WHEN YOU START TO SEE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE WAY THE LOT LOOKS ON THE STREET.
THE REASON THIS HAS -- THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM FOR THE LARGER LOT IS THIS SCENARIO HERE. YOU ARE DEALING WITH LIKE THE
[01:05:02]
PINE TREE LOT WHICH IS 142 FEET IN WIDTH AND 330 IN DEPTH, THE FRONT YARD FOR THAT TYPE OF LOT IS 75 FEET IN DEPTH VERSUS ON A SMALLER LOT. AND THEN BECAUSE OF THE WIDTH IT IS 142 FEET WIDE BY 75. TYPICALLY WE SEE THE PARKING OCCURRING UP NEXT TO THE HOME THAT'S BEHIND THE 75-FOOT MINIMUM SETBACK LINE. USUALLY WE WILL SEE A SINGLE DRIVEWAY MAYBE 20 FEET WIDE GOING BACK TO VEHICULAR COURT.WHEN YOU HAVE THIS KIND OF A SCENARIO IT COVERS 15%.
YOU CAN SEE WITH THE MINUTE -- WITH THE MINIMAL COVERAGE, IT IS NOT THE LARGE -- LARGER LOTS WITH THE PROBLEM.
IT IS THE SMALLER LOT. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE LOTS WE WERE SHOWING YOU. THE HOUSE ON THE LEFT IS THE 50-FOOT LOT AND IT IS SPANNED TO THE MINIMUM SITE SETBACKS.
THE PICTURE TO THE BOTTOM LEFT THEY EACH HAVE FIVE-FOOT SETBACKS. THE VISUAL ON THE RIGHT IS A LARGER LOT THAT YOU CAN SEE THE STREETS ARE NARROW AND THERE IS NO SIDEWALK SO THE SWAIL APPEARS TO BE PART OF THE FRONT YARD.
AND WITH THE SETBACK, THE CARS ARE WAY BACK NEAR THE HOUSE.
>> WE ARE DEALING WITH TWO REGULATIONS.
ONE IS THE AMOUNT OF DRIVEWAY THAT CROSSES FROM THE STREET AND CROSSES SWAIL UP TO THE SIDEWALK.
THAT'S TO HELP PRESERVE THE STREET IN THE SWAIL AREA.
AND IT IS THE APPEARANCE ON THE STREET.
FOR 60-FOOT LOTS, THE MAXIMUM DRIVEWAY IS 30 FEET OR LOTS BETWEEN 60 AND A HUNDRED FEET OF FRONTAGE.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 40 FEET. AND THEN LOTS HAVING OVER 100 FEET OF FRONTAGE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE 60 FEET OF DRIVEWAY CROSSING. REMEMBER, THIS IS THE AREA THAT CROSSES OVER FROM THE STREET TO THE BACK EDGE OF THE SIDEWALK AND ACROSS SWAIL. THE SECOND REGULATION DEALS WITH HOW MUCH PAVEMENT YOU CAN HAVE IN THE REQUIRED FRONT YARD AREA.
AND BECAUSE THERE IS SO MANY DIFFERENT -- [INAUDIBLE] HEAD PARKING FROM THE STREET, WHAT WE ARE DOING IS PUTTING A PERCENTAGE OF HOW MUCH OF THE REQUIRED FRONT YARD CAN BE PAVED. OF COURSE, THE SMALLER THE LOT, THE SMALLER THE FRONT YARD AND THE HIGHER PERCENTAGE IN EXPANDING YOUR DRIVEWAY. WE ARE RECOMMENDING 75% ON A 60-FOOT OR LESS FRONTAGE LOT AND 70% FOR 60 TO 100 AND 50% FOR LOTS OVER 100 FEET OF FRONTAGE. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE 60-FOOT LOT THAT STARTED OUT WITH THE 20-FOOT TWO-CAR DRIVEWAY. YOU CAN SEE THE FRONTAGE ON THE LOT IS 54 FEET. THE COVERAGE IN THE FRONT YARD IS ABOUT 40%. SO THAT LOT LOOKS FINE.
EVERYTHING IS NICE AND GREEN IN THE FRONT.
THE SECOND EXAMPLE IS UNDER THE CURRENT CODE.
THE TWO SETS ARE REQUIRED IF YOU CAN DEAL WITH DRAINAGE.
THAT INCREASES THE REQUIRED FRONT YARD TO 81 AND 82%.
THAT'S WHEN YOU START SEEING A SIGNIFICANT VISUAL I'M PABLT -- IMPACT. IT GOESES FROM PARKING TWO DRIVEWAY VEHICLES TO APPROXIMATELY FIVE.
UNDER THE CURRENT -- I'M SORRY. UNDER THE PROPOSED CODE, THESE ARE TWO SCENARIOS THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITH THE SAME-SIZE LOT.
THE TWO-CAR DRIVEWY COULD BE EXPANDED TO THREE.
THAT WOULD GIVE YOU 30 FEET OF PAVEMENT IN -- IN LIEU OF THE CURRENT. AND IT WOULD GIVE YOU THREE SIDE BY SIDE PLUS THE TWO-CAR GARAGE. AND THEN DOWN BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF A CIRCULAR DRIVE. AND AGAIN, REMEMBER THE 12 AND THE 18, THE CROSSING OVER IS LIMITED TO 30 FEET ON THIS SIZE LOT. SO YOU CAN EITHER HAVE ONE DRIVEWAY AT 30 OR YOU COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE A CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY AND MAX OUT THE 30-FOOT FRONTAGE ALSO.
BECAUSE THE CIRCULAR DRIVE HAS MORE PAVEMENT, THAT LOT COVERAGE IS ABOUT 62, 63%. WE DO HAVE A REQUIREMENT FOR A SEPARATION BETWEEN THOSE DRIVEWAYS TO GET THE GREEN SPACE IN THE MIDDLE WHICH HELPS THE STREET APPEARANCE.
HERE IS THE VISUAL OF HOW THIS KIND OF LOT WOULD LOOK.
IF THAT LOT SPABDED TO THE -- EXPANDED TO THE FIVE-FOOT SETBACKS ON EITHER SIDE IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THE PICTURE ON THE
[01:10:02]
RIGHT. BECAUSE THE HOUSE IS RIGHT AT THE MINIMUM 20% SETBACK. HERE IS KIND OF ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A CIRCULAR DRIVE. THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE HAD A THREE-CAR DRIVEWAY AND A THREE-CAR GARAGE.THEY PROVIDED THE CIRCULAR DRIVE AND THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENT IN THE MIDDLE AND YOU CAN SEE THE VISUAL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HOW THAT WOULD LOOK. YOU GET A LOT MORE VISUAL FROM THE STREET, BUT THERE IS A NEED FOR THESE HOMES TO HAVE ADDITIONAL PARKING. IF YOU GET INTO THE LARGER LOT, YU KNOW, THE SITUATION IMPROVES BECAUSE YOU GENERALLY HAVE LARGER SIDE YARDS THAN THE FIVE FOOT THAT WE CAN SEE ON THE SMALLER LOTS. THIS EXAMPLE IS A 72-FOOT WIDE LOT WITH A THREE-CAR GARAGE AND A THREE-CAR DRIVEWAY.
IF THEY EXPAND OUT TO WHAT IS ALLOWED BY THE CURRENT CODE, THAT LOT COVERAGE IN THE FRONT YARD WOULD BE AROUND 79%.
BECAUSE OF THE DEPTH OF THIS HOUSE BEING BACK, THIS HROLT -- LOT WOULD PARK THREE CARS IN THE GARAGE AND 10 OR 11 VEHICLES IN THE DRIVEWAY. JUST A NOTE ON THE CURRENT CODE, THE LANDSCAPE SHOWN IN THE MIDDLE WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED.
I'LL GIVE UH VISUAL OF HOW THIS LOOKS.
TO THE LEFT IS THE ORIGINAL CONDITION AND TO THE RIGHT IS THE CURRENT CONDITION. THESE DRIVEWAY EXPANSIONS ARE WELL DONE. THE PLANTER WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED AND THAT DOES HELP THE VISUAL APPEARANCE OF THIS PARTICULAR SCENARIO. YOU CAN SEE THAT IT IS --
>> ARE YOU SAYING IT IS NOT REQUIRED, BUT IT WOULD BE REQUIRED UNDER THE NEW PROPOSED CODE?
>> FOR A CIRCULAR DRIVE IT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR A CIRCULAR DRIVE BETWEEN THE TWO DRIVEWAYS. FOR STRAIGHT OUT PARKING IT
WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED. >> HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A
LOT WITH 60 TO 100 FEET OF -- >> CAN I JUST ASK ONE QUESTION? GO BACK TO THE LAST SLIDE. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THE ONE -- THE ONE AFTER THIS. THAT ISLAND, WOULDN'T THAT STILE REQUIRED UNDER THE NEW CODE? I THOUGHT IT HAD TO BREAK UP WHERE THE DRIVEWAY HITS THE SIDEWALK.
>> RIGHT. IF THEY WERE PAVING STRAIGHT ACROSS WITH BACK UP PARKING OUT TO THE STREET. SKARB -- STREET, THE ISLAND WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED.
IF IT IS A CIRCULAR DRIVE, THERE IS AN EIGHT-FOOT SEPARATION
BETWEEN TWO DRIVEWAY ENTRANCES. >> THIS WOULDN'T CLASSIFY AS
>> I WANTED TO CLARIFY. WITH A NEW CODE IT WOULD NOT BE
REQUIRED. >> THE LANDSCAPE WOULD NOT BE
REQUIRED. >> JUST WANT TO CLARIFY.
>> THIS IS ANOTHER SCENARIO THAT WE SEE QUITE OFTEN.
THESE HOMES ARE BUILT WITH TWO-CAR GARAGES AND TWO TWO-CAR DRIVEWAYS ON OP -- OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE HOME.
THE CONDITION ORIGINALLY IS RIGHT AT THE 36-FOOT PAVEMENT UNDER A 60 TO 100-FOOT LOT AND IT IS MAXED OUT AT 40.
WHAT WE TYPICALLY SEE ON THESE LOTS IS EXPANDING AND CONNECTING THE MIDDLE BETWEEN THE TWO DRIVEWAYS.
THE LOT COVERAGE WOULD BE 57% AND IT ADDS TWO MORE DRIVEWAY VEHICLES. YOU CAN SEE THE GREEN SPACE BECAUSE THIS IS MORE OF A CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY CONFIGURATION.
THIS IS KIND OF HOW THAT LOOKS, THE HOUSE ON THE LEFT IS THE ORIGINAL BUILT CONDITION. ON THE RIGHT WHERE THE TWO PALM TREES ARE, THAT IS WHERE THE GREEN AREA IS BETWEEN THE TWO DRIVEWAYS AND THE CIRCULAR DRIVE.
>> THE GREEN AREA WOULD BE REQUIRED IN THIS PARTICULAR PICTURE AND YOU HAVE YET TO ADD THE GREEN.
THEY HAVE THE TREES, BUT THE GREEN IS MISSING AND IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED.
>> YES. IT WOULD BE GREEN AND BETWEEN THE TWO DRIVEWAYS AND A THREE TO FIVE-FOOT DEPTH BEHIND THE
>> THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A LOT WITH 100 FEET FRONTAGE.
THIS IS ANOTHER TYPICAL EXAMPLE WHERE THE CIRCULAR DRIVE COMES OFF THE STREET. THEN WE WILL SEE THE VEHICULAR PARKING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
THIS RARELY COMES IN FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE DRIVEWAY.
USUALLY THEY ARE BUILT WITH THE HOME AND THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH PARKING TO SUPPORT THE HOUSE.
[01:15:02]
THIS IS 37% OF COVERAGE IN THE FRONT YARD EVEN WITH THE CIRCULAR DRIVE. THIS SITE WILL PARK FOUR VEHICLES IN THE GARAGE AND 16 OR MORE IN THE DRIVEWAY.THE LARGER THE LOT, THE LESS THE PROBLEM.
AND THIS IS A VISUAL OF AN ACRE HOME.
YOU CAN SEE THE SUBSTANTIAL SETBACK WITH THE LARGE CIRCULAR DRIVE. WE DID PUT THIS -- THESE NEW REGS AND RANDOMLY PICKED 25 PROPERTIES AND PUT THEM THROUGH THE REGULATIONS AND ALSO LOOKED AT THE PERMITS THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REQUESTING RECENTLY. THIS ACCOMMODATES MOST DRIVEWAY EXPANSIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE REQUESTING.
THE SMALLER THE LOT, THE MORE SIGNIFICANT THE IMPACT.
THE ONE LOT THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE AFFECTED IS IF YOU HAVE A SMALL LOT LIKE 50 TO 60 FEET THAT HAS BEEN EXISTING THREE-CAR GARAGE WITH A THREE-CAR DRIVEWAY THIS CODE WOULD PROBABLY NOT ALLOW YOU TO EXPAND THE FOURTH LANE BECAUSE THEN ON A 50-FOOT WIDE LOT WE ARE BACK TO THE TWO SETBACKS.
IF YOU ARE A SMALL LOT WITH A THREE-CAR DRIVEWAY, THAT'S ALL YOU COULD GET. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PAVEMENT FOR A WHOLE OTHER SPACE. WITH EVERYONE ELSE, IT IS PRETTY FLEXIBLE. IT IS A PERCENTAGE OF THE REQUIRED YARD LAID OUT HOW YOU WOULD LIKE.
WE WILL REVIEW IT AND A VEHICLE CAN ACTUALLY TRAVEL TO THE SPACE. THE OTHER REQUIREMENT ADDRESSES THE CROSSING FROM THE SIDEWALK TO THE STREET AS A WAY TO
PROTECT THE STREETS. >> PERSONALLY, I LIKE THE FACT THAT WE ARE GIVING THE RESIDENTS THE UH GUILT TO -- THE ABILITY TO INCREASE THEIR DRIVEWAYS. THOSE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE ASKING FOR IT AND WHO NEED IT, BUT NOW WE ARE LOOKING FOR GREEN SPACE. THAT TO ME IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE WHAT VICE MAYOR CUTLER WAS SAYING BEFORE AND I AGREE WITH, THERE WASN'T ENOUGH GREEN. AND NOW WE HAVE ADDRESSED THAT FOR THE MOST PART WHICH I THINK IS IMPORTANT.
WE ARE ACCOMPLISHING BOTH GOALS IN MY OPINION.
I THINK YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THIS PARTICULAR ORDINANCE. PERSONALLY, I WANTED TO SEE MOR.
I DID WANT TO SEE THE GREEN TO VICE MAYOR CUTLER'S POINT A WELL. YOU WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH BOTH. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD, HAPPY MEDIUM. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY --
>> I JUST WANTED TO SAY, GAIL, THIS IS REALLY GREAT WORK.
>> THANK YOU. >> I KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP AND PASSED AROUND.
A GREAT, HELPFUL DEBATE. IT IS NOT EASY TO CRAFT STATUTORY LANGUAGE TO TRY TO ACHIEVE A GOAL, LET ALONE A GOAL
THAT HAS A TIERED APPROACH. >> AND SCENARIOS.
>> THE FACT THAT YOU ARE DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND CHECKING OUT LOTS IS A TEST MEANT OF THE HARD WORK OF PUTTING THIS INTO PRACTICE AND PRACTICE TIM -- PRACTICAL THINKING.
I WREURB WE COULD FIND -- I WISH WE COULD FIND A WAY TO PUT THIS ON OUR WEBSITE. PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WHO HAVE NEVER GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND KNOW WHAT IS ALLOWED VERSUS NOT ALLOWED AND THAT IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
THANK YOU FOR THE REALLY GOOD WORK.
>> I JUST WANTED TO SAY AND I SPOKE WITH GAIL AND I APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK. AND I KNOW YOU ALL WILL, BUT WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AND I RECEIVED COMMENTS FROM THE HOA ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND IF THERE BECOMES AN ISSUE DOWN THE LINE WE CAN REVISIT THE ISSUE AND ADJUST ACCORDINGLY.
THIS GIVES US A GOOD FOOT HOLD TO PRESENT THE AESTHETICALLY DISPLEASING WITH LACK OF GREEN SPACE ON SOME OF THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN UNFORTUNATELY GRANDFATHERED IN.
THIS GIVES US THE FRAMEWORK TO MOVE FORWARD.
IF IT BECOMES AN ISSUE AND I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THE EXPENSE OF A VARIANCE, BUT IF IT BECOMES AN ISSUE WHERE WE PERCEIVE THAT THERE IS A NOOK OR CRANNY THAT WE HAVEN'T COVERED, THEN I KNOW WE CAN BRING THIS ISSUE BACK AND DEAL WITH IT ACCORDINGLY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. WE CAN SAY OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, IF WE ARE TURNING DOWN A DRIVEWAY PERMIT, WE WILL TRY TO
[01:20:02]
KEEP TRACK OF WHY WE ARE TURNING IT DOWN AND SEE IF THEY ARE PROMPTING SIGNIFICANT REVISIONS. I DON'T EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN, BUT WE CAN KEEP AN EYE ON IT, AND IF IT IS HAPPENING, WE CANFINE-TUNE SOME OF THE NUMBERS. >> GREAT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> I GUESS BECAUSE COMMISSIONER BRIER BROUGHT IT UP ABOUT THE HOA.
THE HOA WILL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DENY, CORRECT, BASED UPON -- I MEAN, WE ARE ISSUING THE PERMIT, BUT IF THEY GET BACK AND
SAY IT DOES PRESIDENT MEAN -- >> -- IT DOESN'T MEAN --
>> HOA'S ARE GOVERNED BY THEIR OWN GOVERNING DOCUMENTS WHICH MAY HAVE RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS ON DRIVEWAYS, AND IT WOULD BE UP TO THE HOA TOEN HORSE THOSE.
-- TO ENFORCE THOSE. >> RIGHT.
THE HOA IF IN THE DOCS COULD APPROVE OR DENY WHAT IS THERE.
THE OTHER THING I MENTIONED TO GAIL AND THIS IS SOMETHING ANTHONY CHIMED IN AS WELL, THAT MAYBE DOWN THE FUTURE CURRENTLY OUR PRD HAS A BALANCE OF WHAT IS PER VEE -- PERVIOUS AND IMPERVIOUS. YOU MAY HAVE A LOT THAT IS IN TOTALITY 85% IMPERVIOUS BECAUSE OF THE POOL OR PATIO OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE. WE CAN'T EFFECTUATE FOR WHAT IS THERE, BUT MAYBE DOWN THE ROAD AND LOOK AT IT IN OUR CODE TO SEE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. IT IS SOMETHING THAT MAY NOT JUST COVER THE TOTAL LAND -- LANDSCAPE, BUT LOT PER LOT.
THAT WAS MY OTHER COMMENT. >> VICE MAYOR?
>> THAT IS CORRECT. THERE IS A PERVIOUS AND IMPERVIOUS CODING DEPENDING ON THE DEVELOPMENT.
LIKE IN A PRD IT IS ON THE OVERALL.
SINGLE-FAMILY IT CAN BE INDIVIDUALLY AND THEN NON-RESIDENTIAL IT IS HANDLED ON THE SITE.
THE PRD'S ARE DIFFERENT. >> VICE MAYOR CUTLER?
>> THANK YOU. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR WORKING HARD AND DILIGENTLY ON PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.
>> THANK YOU. >> AS THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS MENTIONED, THIS IS A MOVING TARGET AND I APPRECIATE GETTING TO THIS POINT. THE ASPECTS OF THE I'M PEER VEE YOUSNESS -- IMPERVIOSUNESS IS ONLY GOING TO GET AGGRAVATED TO THE SEA RISE AND ALL OF THE OTHER THINGS WE ARE DEALING WITH. AS COMMISSIONER BRIER POINTED OUT, IT MAY NEED TO BE A MOVING TARGET RELATIVE TO WHAT WE DO IN THE FUTURE. I WILL LEAVE IT TO THE STAFF TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THOSE THINGS BECAUSE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
I HOPE RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A DIFFICULT DECISION AND I PROBABLY HAVE BEEN PART OF THE ISSUE ON MAKING IT DIFFICULT, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T TURN OUR CITY AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS INTO PARKING LOTS AND MAKE SURE TO PRESERVE THE GREEN SPACES. WITH THAT, THANK YOU.
>> ANYONE FROM THE -- ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? SEEING THERE IS NONE, IS THERE
ANYONE -- >> MOTION TO APPROVE.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER IZRO AND A
SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MAYERSON. >> COMMISSIONER IZRO.
>> YES. >> COMMISSIONER BRIER.
>> YES. >> COMMISSIONER MAYERSON.
>> MAYOR WALKER. >> PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU.
>> THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM 11B, ORDINANCE 2022-008.
AMENDING FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR GATOR ACRES FIRST READING. AN ORDINANCE TO THE CITY OF COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND FLORIDA AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATION OF APPROXIMATELY 4.77 GROSS ACRES FROM BROWARD COUNTY LOW RESIDENTIAL TO PARKLAND RESIDENTIAL FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE OUT SIDE OF LOXAHATCHEE ROAD APPROXIMATELY 1.9 MILES WEST OF NOB HILL ROAD AND AS PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A. DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION?
>> I HAVE A VERY BRIEF PRESENTATION.
>> SO I WILL READ 11C INTO THE RECORD.
>> ITEM 11C IS ORDER -- ORDINANCE 2022-009 REZONING GATOR ACRES FROM BROWARD COUNTY RS-3 TO CITY OF PARKLAND RS3.
THE CITY OF PARKLAND FLORIDA REZONING APPROXIMATELY 4.77 GROSS ACRES GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF LOXAHATCHEE
[01:25:02]
ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 1.9 MILES WEST OF NOB HILL ROAD AS FURTHER DESCRIBED AS EXHIBIT A. SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS AND CASE NUMBER RZ22-001 PROVIDING FOR SEVER -- SEVERABILITY CONFLICTS.IT IS FIRST READING AND WE NEED SEPARATE VOTES.
>> AS ANTHONY SAID, WITHOUT REPEATING, WE ARE DEALING WITH A REZONING FROM A RESIDENTIAL THREE-DWELLING UNIT PER ACRE DECEMBER SIG NOISE -- DESIGNATION TO A CITY OF PARKLAND R3. IT IS AN EQUIVALENT DENSITY AND JUST A JURISDICTIONAL CHANGE. AND JUST AS A REMINDER, THE GATORADE -- GATOR ACRE SITE IS PART OF THE PARKLAND ROYAL PHASE 2 DEVELOPMENT. IF YOU RECALL, IT WAS COMBINED WITH NSID. ORIGINALLY THE BISHOP TRACK, I BELIEVE. TWO MOVED FORWARD.
THEY ARE MOVING A LITTLE FURTHER AHEAD THAN THE GATOR ACRES TRACK WHICH IS A COUPLE MONTHS BEHIND. THIS WILL TAKE ALL THREE OF THEM TO THE SAME DESIGNATION, THE OVERALL PROPOSAL IS FOR 205 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES WITH A DENSITY OF 2.7 DWELLING UNITS PER HAQER -- PER ACRE. FOUR ACRES WILL BE DEEDED TO THE CITY FOR PARK USE. THE ANNEXATION IS EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 15TH, 2022 AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE BRINGING THEM FORWARD NOW. TO GIVE A SNAP SNAPSHOT OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT --
>> TO BE CLEAR TOO, WE ARE REZONING 4.77 ACRES.
>> YES. >> HOW MUCH IS THAT GOING INTO
THE CITY OF PARKLAND? >> FOUR ACRES --
>> JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR. WE ARE REZONING TO THREE UNITS
FOUR ACRES WILL BE DEEDED TO THE CITY.
.7-ACRES YOU CAN SEE ON THE EAST AND SOUTHWEST CORNER IS THE FRINGE OF THE PARKLAND ROYAL TO RESIDENTIAL DEVELOP TPHEPBT -- DEVELOPMENT. THE ANNEXATION REQUIRES US TO TAKE THE WHOLE THING TO R3. THE CITY WILL BE DEEDED THE ACRY AND ONCE WE HAVE THAT JURISDICTION AND BETTER DESIGN FOR THE PARK WE WILL BRING BACK A REZONE.
>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE RESIDENTS DO NOT GET CONFUSED THAT THESE 4.7-ACRES WERE ANY HOMES BUILT THERE.
WELL, THE .77 WILL BE USED IN PART OF THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT WE ALREADY APPROVED. BUT FOUR OF THOSE ACRES WILL BE USED FOR A PARK FOR THE CITY OF PARKLAND.
>> YES. THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED.
>> I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT WE ARE NOT ADDING 14 POTENTIAL
RESIDENTIAL UNITS. >> THE MAXIMUM DENSITY WILL BE THE 205 APPROVED BY THE CITY COMMISSIONER.
>> RIGHT. >> AND THE PARK WILL BE DEEDED OVER AND THIS IS A TEMPORARY HOLDING, A RESIDENTIAL ZONING.
>> PAPERWORK TO GET US TO THE NEXT PHASE.
>> TO GET THE DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL AND ORDER FOR PR2.
AND ONCE THE CITY HAS FULL CONTROL OF THE PARK WE HILLARY
ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? SORRY. I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU HAD ANOTHER
SLIDE. >> JUST SAYING IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH EVERYBODY AROUND IT AND IN COMBINATION WITH THE PR2 SITE PLAN AND ALL OF THE IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT WERE PART OF THE ORIGINAL SUBMITTAL.
>> PERFECT. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? OKAY.
>> GOT ONE QUESTION. THIS IS FOR ANTHONY.
I SEE THE PMZ MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO PUT CONDITIONS ON THE APPROVAL AS TO FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE COMPLIED WITH BEFORE THIS IS APPROVED. ONE, IS THAT FEASIBLE, AND TWO,
HOW DO WE APPROACH THAT? >> THE ITEM THAT CAME UP IN PLANNING AND ZONING, THERE WAS A PROVISION THAT REQUIRED A PAYMENT OF $100,000 FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME.
WHEN WE WERE AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING IT HAD NOT BEEN MADE. BUT NOW THE CITY HAS RECEIVED THE HUNDRED THAT YOU -- THE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
>> THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING. >> WITH THAT MOTION TO APPROVE.

AND WHETHER YOU AGREED WITH HIS POLICY OR OPINION, YOU STILL HAD TO RESPECT THE FACT THAT HE WAS ALWAYS FURTHERING THE CONVERSATION OF WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS BEST AND TO -- AND THE OVERALL FILL AN THROT PICK CAUSES -- PHILANTHROPIC CAUSES, THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE HONOR AND I CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY WHO ARE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR EVEN THIS BEING A POSSIBILITY AND WE HAVEN'T VOTED ON IT YET, BUT FOR THIS JUST TO BE A POSSIBILITY IS A COOL THING AND I KNOW MICHAEL MORE THAN ANYONE WOULD HAVE CHERISHED.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE WASN'T A HUGE STATUE
BUILT UP FRONT -- >> SO IS BOB.
>> I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, I AM GRATEFUL EVEN TO BE HERE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT A GUY SO WORTHY OF THIS HONOR. CITY TO THE CITY AND THE COUNTY AND EVEN THE STATE. I AM HONORED TO MOVE TO PASS IF ANYONE WOULD BE SO WILLING TO SECOND THAT.
>> I'LL SECOND. I AM HONORED TO SECOND.
>> I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT FOR THE RECORD THIS CAME DOWN SB160, THE TRANSPORTATION-RELATED FACILITY DESIGNATION, AND I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THIS WAGS -- THIS WAS A UNANIMOUS VOTE WITH THE SENATE, 39-0.

[12. Comments by the Broward Sheriff's Office]
>> GREAT. SO COMMENTS BY THE -- SORRY TO STEAL YOUR HUNDREDER, MAJOR RUSSO, BUT NANCY WAS EXCITED TO
MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT. >> I WAS, AND I WANTED TO THANK MAJOR RUSSO FOR BEING OUR IN -- INTERIM CAPTOR -- CAPTAIN.
>> THANK YOU. >> I WAS SO ASSURED KNOWING YOU
WERE IN CHARGE OF THE CITY. >> WELL SAID BY NANCY.
I KNOW WE ALL FEEL THAT WAY. >> IT WRAS MY HAHN -- WAS MY
HONOR. >> IT IS FITTING THAT NATIONAL IS POLICE OFFICER'S DAY AND WE ARE ANNOUNCING THE NEW CAPTAIN IS A WOMAN. I HAVE KNOWN MICHELLE FOR QUITE A LONGTIME. SHE PREVIOUSLY WORKED FOR ME AND SHE WILL BE AN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE.
I WILL BE WORKING WITH HER ON HER TRANSITION OF COMMAND AND LOOKING FORWARD FOR HER TO BE INTRODUCED TO YOU ALL.
IN HONOR OF NATIONAL POLICE WOMEN'S DAY I WANT TO THANK OUR OTHER WOMEN HERE IN BSO PARKLAND.
THAT'S DETECTIVE SEUF LAUREN BATTA.
DEPUTY AMOY. DEPUTY HOPE LEVINE.
DEPUTY SAMAZA, AN SRO AND DEPUTY DANIELLE WHO WORKS NIGHT SHIFT.
YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS, BUT NATIONALLY WOMEN MAKE UP 13% OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSION. IT IS QUITE AN ACHIEVEMENT THAT WE HAVE THAT MANY WOMEN WORKING IN PARKLAND.
I AM HONORED TO BE ONE OF THOSE WOMEN.
SINCE OUR LAST MEETING WE HAVE HAD A FEW CRIMES.
AS YOU KNOW WE ARRESTED THE SUSPECT INVOLVED IN THE DESECRATION AT PROJECT LOVE GROW.
I AM REALLY, REALLY PROUD OF THE POLICE WORK THAT WAS DONE ON THIS CASE. NOT ONLY WITH DEPUTIES IN PARKLAND. AND I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT, IF YOU ALLOW ME BRIEFLY, AFTER WE HAD THE TWO CASES WE PUT A NUMBER OF EFFORTS IN PLACE. MOST OF WHICH I CAN'T TALK ABOUT PUBLICLY, BUT WE HAD MANY THINGS IN PLACE TRYING TO CATCH THIS CRIMINAL. ONE OF OUR DEPUTIES WAS DOING HER ROUND OF PATROLS AND LOCATED A THIRD ANIMAL.
BASED ON HER WORK WE BACKTRACKED AND IDENTIFIED A VEHICLE.
LATER THAT NIGHT ONE OF OUR OTHER DEPUTIES WORKING SAW THE VEHICLE AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP AND WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE DRIVER WHO LATER WE IDENTIFIED AS BEING A CRIMINAL.
HAD THEIR EFFORTS NOT BEEN IN PLACE, WE MAY HAVE NEVER CAPTURED THIS PERSON. I WANT TO COMMEND THE DEPUTIES AND THE SERGEANT FOR THEIR EFFORTS ON THIS CASE.
WITHOUT THEIR WORK, THE THREAT MENTIONED WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN WHAT THEY HAD. THEY DID A GREAT EXTENSIVE FOLLOW-UP INVESTIGATION. HE IS CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY ON 9 CHARGES AND HAS NO BOND HOLD SO IS NOT GETTING OUT ANY TIME SOON. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF THEFT OF APPLIANCES TAKEN FROM HOMES UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN PARKLAND BAY. AND WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR STATEWIDE PROSECUTOR. WE HAD LED LIGHTING TAKEN FROM A HOME UNDER CONSTRUCTION. WE HAD A STABBING AT CYPRESS HEAD. THERE WERE ADULT MALES AT A PARTY AND PARTYING TOO MUCH. ONE STABBED THE OTHER IN THE ABDOMEN. HE SURVIVED.
IT WAS A MINOR WOUND, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, AND HE WAS ARRESTED THAT NIGHT. WE RECENTLY HAD A VEHICLE BURGLARY AT PINE TRAILS PARK WHERE THEY SMASHED THE WINDOW AND UNFORTUNATELY TOOK SOMEONE'S WORK TOTE AND ELECTRONICS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WE WANT TO REMIND THE COMMUNITY, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE YOUR VALUABLES IN YOUR CAR.
I KNOW IT IS EASY AND WE ARE RUNNING AROUND AND TRYING TO GET KIDS TO PRACTICE OR THE PARK AND WE MAY FORGET THAT WE HAVE VALUABLES IN THE CAR. THAT'S WHAT CRIMINALS ARE WAITING FOR AND THEY ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
>> DON'T LEAVE YOUR KIDS IN THE CAR EITHER.
>> THEY ARE VALUABLE. >> THEY ARE, VERY VALUABLE.
>> AND COSTLY. >> I WANT TO CONGRATULATE DEPUTY JARVIE AND HER K-9 FOR BEING THE TEAM OF THE YEAR.
[01:40:03]
DEPUTY JARVIE IS IN TALLAHASSEE RECEIVING HER AWARD WHICH IS WHY SHE IS NOT HERE TONIGHT. AS YOU KNOW, OUR BLOODHOUNDS WORK ON LOCATING MISSING AND ENDANGERED PERSONS AND THEY DO AN EXCELLENT JOB NOT ONLY HERE IN PARKLAND, BUT ACROSS THE COUNTY. AND THIS WEDNESDAY BSO WREUL HOST THEIR -- WILL HOST THEIR ANNUAL AWARD CEREMONY.DURING COVID WE DIDN'T HAVE THE CEREMONY.
TKEUB TEE Z -- DEPUTY ZAVORSKY IS RECEIVING AN AWARD.
HE WAS DOING TRAINING IN THE CITY OF WATER DALE LAKES.
HE ADMINISTERED CPR TO A ONE-YEAR-OLD CHILD.
HE RECEIVED ANOTHER AWARD IN PARKLAND FOR HIS LIFE-SAVING EFFORTS. WE ARE DEEPLY PROUD OF THE MEN
