FIRST OF ALL, HAPPY 2023. MAY THIS YEAR BE A YEAR OF GOOD HEALTH, PEACE, PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS FOR ALL PARKLAND.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY AS A PART OF THIS AMAZING BOARD CONSISTING OF SUCH WONDERFUL LEADERS IN OUR CITY.
THE HARVEST DRIVE QUALITY COLLECTION WAS A TRUE SUCCESS IN NOVEMBER. THE COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD HAD A GREAT TIME SUPPORTING THE EFFORTS FOR PARKLAND TO PROVIDE TOILETRIES FOR FAMILIES IN NEED BUT THERE WERE USED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SO THANK YOU PARKLAND.
THE INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY IN HARVEST DRIVE, EXCUSE ME FARMERS MARKET WILL WAS A GREAT IDEA THAT HOPEFULLY BE EXPANDED NEXT YEAR.HE COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD WAS HAPPY TO SUPPORT EFFORTS FOR PARKLAND TO BEMORE INCLUSIVE AND CULTURALLY AWARE IS A COMMUNITY . IT WAS NOT GREAT WEATHER ON THE PARTICULAR FARMERS MARKET, BUT THE VENDORS SEEM TO BE OKAY.
FOR EXAMPLE, BROWARD COLLEGE DO THEIR BEST AND THEY INFORMED MANY PARKLAND IS ABOUT WHAT THEY DO OFFER IN SPITE OF THE INCLEMENT WEATHER. I HEARD THAT SNOW FEST WAS SO AMAZING. THERE WAS A SUCCESSFUL LIBRARY BOOK FAIR LAST SATURDAY, AND THERE ALWAYS AMAZING FINES FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN AT THE BOOK FAIR.
ALSO UPCOMING EVENTS: ACES FOR AUTISM, LIVE FOR - - FUNDRAISER, ALSO TOOK PLACE LAST MONTH.
IT KIND OF GOT ME THINKING DURING THE EVENT THAT I DID ATTEND IS A FORM EDUCATION BOARD AND CURRENTCOMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD , MAYBE WE WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER IN ADDITION INSTEAD, I DON'T KNOW, WE WORK WITH THE HARVEST DRIVE, MAYBE DOING SOMETHING TO MAKE OUR SCHOOLS SAFE, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A VIABLE SUGGESTION, BUT I AM FLOATING IT ASKING THE QUESTION HOW CAN WE HELP MAKE SCHOOLS SAFER? IT SEEMS LIKE AVALID QUESTION . LOOKING FOR FOR THE UPCOMING FAMILY CARNIVAL EVENT. AND STREET SAFETY HAS REALLY COME TO THE FOREFRONT OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY ISSUE.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A TRAGIC ACCIDENT THE PEDESTRIAN AND OUR CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY WITH REGARD TO THAT PEDESTRIAN WHO PASSED FOLLOWING A STREET SAFETY INCIDENTS. THE PARKLAND DAYS PARADE IS COMING UP ON MARCH 11. THERE WAS A AND E BLAST THAT
[00:05:02]
WENT OUT TODAY TO ALL HOA PRESIDENTS IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND. HOPEFULLY IT WAS DISSEMINATED.WE HAVE ALREADY VOLUNTEERS READY TO STEP UP AND MAKE A FLOAT AND REPRESENT. THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.
I HAVE SOME FLYERS TO CIRCULATE ABOUT THE EVENTS PAST AND THE FUTURE. IF THEY COULD MAKE THEIR WAY
BACK UP THAT WAY. >> PERFECT, ANGELIKA?
>> HAPPY NEW YEAR. I AM GRATEFUL TO BE HERE WITH ALL OF YOU. THIS IS MY FOURTH TERM HERE, I CANNOT JUST TELL YOU HOW MUCH I VALUE AND ENJOY HAVING THE PLATFORM AND AMAZING COLLEAGUES OVER THE YEARS WHO'VE SET AS WELL AS OUR CITY COLLEAGUES AND DEAR COMMISSIONERS WHO SUPPORT, LEAD AND ENTRUST US TO BE A VOICE FOR RESIDENTS IN THE CITY. I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS PLATFORM HAS HELPED TO ELEVATE A LOT OF DIFFERENT VOICES, BRING NEW IDEAS TO THE FOREFRONT , AND EVEN THE IDEAS OF THE INFORMATION EXCHANGE HAS ALWAYS MADE US BETTER AND STRONGER AS A CITY. I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO START THE SEVENTH YEAR WITH ALL OF YOU.
THANK YOU. JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS AND I'M SO GRATEFUL TO SHARRY KIMMEL FOR BRINGING UP THE PEDESTRIAN ISSUES. SINCERE CONDOLENCES, IT IS VERY SAD WHAT HAPPENED THERE. THERE WAS ANOTHER INCIDENT, I DO NOT KNOW TOO MANY DETAILS BECAUSE IT HAPPENED THIS MORNING, AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY WAS SPECIFICALLY HEARD, BUT THERE WAS A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT ON HILLSBOROUGH RIGHT BY THE INTERSECTION OF MILL RUN FEEDS INTO HILLSBOROUGH BOULEVARD. IF YOU GUYS HAVE A WORKING PICTURE OF WHERE THAT IS, JUST SOUTH - - I GET VERY CONFUSED SOMETIMES. FOR YEARS, AT LEAST FOR FIVE OR SIX YEARS, MYSELF AND SOME MEMBERS ON THE DEVELOPMENT WHO LIVE IN THE EASTERN SIDE OF PARKLAND, SPECIFICALLY THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF HILLSBOROUGH, MILL RUN, MAYFAIR, THE COMMUNITIES ACROSS MECCA, WE VALUE SO VERY MUCH HAVING BEAUTIFUL PARKS IN OUR CITY.
IT'S A GREAT JOB WITH THE ACTIVITIES IN MANY OF US WALKED TO THE PARK. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NO PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK LINKING THOSE TWO SIDE OF THE STREET.
YOU HAVE TO BASICALLY WALK A MILE IN MILL RUN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 441 AND COME BACK UP ACROSS THE STREET SAFETY WHICH WOULD OBVIOUSLY DEFEAT THE PURPOSE.
IT IS A BUSY STREET. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.
THERE ARE TWO LANES ON EACH SIDE OF HILLSBOROUGH, THERE ARE ALSO TURNING LANES, THE TWO COMMUNITIES AND DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES ALONGSIDE THAT STREET.
MANY OF US TO GO WITH KIDS, WHETHER IT'S ONE CHILD, MULTIPLE SET MANY OF US HAVE MULTIPLE KIDS IN THE COMMUNITY.
EVEN IN FULL DAYLIGHT, THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED THIS MORNING, THINGS HAPPEN AND JACK WILL BE THATMACHINE BECAUSE THEY HAVE 8 MILES PER HOUR YOU'RE GOING , THE SPEEDING COUNT.
MANY CARS DO DRIVE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT BUT WHEN THEY ARE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT, CROSSING THAT STREET, IT IS FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC. I HAD TO CROSS ONE SIDE, NAVIGATE MULTIPLE SIDES AND CROSS ANOTHER SIDE.
I AM WALKING YOU THROUGH - - SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN MY VIE . ANYONE WHOSE CROSSING THE STREET HERE, WE TRIED TO - - MICHAEL JUDEAN IN THE COUNTY OFFICE AND SPEAKING TO THE TRANSPORTATION FOLKS.
WE STARTED WITH THIS FOR FIVE YEARS AGO AND DID A TRAFFIC STUDY. WE FEEL THE TRAFFIC STUDY MEETING THEY CAME OUT AND OBSERVED THE PATTERN TO WARRANT A STOP SIGN OR SOME OTHER FORM OF SAFETY WHETHER IT'S PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALKS, JACKIE TAMIKA HELP ME OUT, WE ARE DOING SOMETHING. THAT DID NOT WORK OUT, SOME YEARS LATER, ESPECIALLY NOW, I TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE GROWTH IN THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS MOVING AND COVID, THERE IS MORE AND MORE OF US NAVIGATING THE CHALLENGE.
THIS PROMPTED A PETITION. AT THIS POINT WE DID NOT GO
[00:10:01]
BIG, WE HAD 57 PEOPLE SIGNED. THIS CAME OUT, THEY HAVE COPIES OF THE PETITION AND AS THE DAYS ACCIDENT, I WILL CIRCULATE THAT I APOLOGIZE, I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH INK, HOPEFULLY THERE ARETWO HERE. >> WE COULD SHARE ONE.
>> THE INCIDENT THIS MORNING, WE HAD ANOTHER TRAFFIC STUDY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND KIND OF WHERE THINGS STALLED WAS ON THE COMPOSITION OF THE TURNAROUND THAT IS WANT TO COME EVENTUALLY ANDY BUILT AROUND THE MECCA INTERSECTION.
WE KNOW THAT IS IN PROCESS AND I THINK THE ETA ON THE COMPLETION IS 2026. WE KNOW THAT WILL HELP SLOW TRAFFIC,BUT THE CONCERN IS THAT IS STILL SEVERAL YEARS AWAY .
ALSO, I STILL THINK WITH THAT, WE ARE TALKING NOT JUST THE SPEED OF CARS BUT THE VOLUME OF CARS.
I WANT TO PUT FORTH SOME QUESTIONS OF WHAT WE POSSIBLY DO AS A COMMUNITY TO ELEVATE THIS SAFETY ISSUE? IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO SHORT OF HAVING TO WAIT SEVERAL YEARS FOR THIS ROUNDABOUT? IN ADDITION, ARE THERE ALTERNATIVES? HE WOULD HAVE TO WALK PART OF OUR WAY TO THE ROUNDABOUT. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU GET AS SAFE CROSSWALK - - SAFEWAY AND HOW CAN YOU DO AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I JUST IMAGINED A PEDESTRIAN BEING IN THE CROSSWALK WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND IT MAKES ME
VERY FEARFUL. >> UNDERSTOOD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SENDING ME THE EMAIL TODAY ANGELICA AND GIVE ME THE DETAIL AND THE PICTURES, THAT IS VERY HELPFUL.
SO YOU WILL KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP IN OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING. ONE THING NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT IT IS COUNTY ROAD. IT IS COUNTY CONTROLLED, SO IT IS IN THE COUNTY WHEN TO SAY YES, WE USUALLY PUT IT THERE.
THEY NEED TO THE TRAFFIC STUDIES.
WE HAVE ASKED THEM HAVE ANY COMMUNICATION WITH THEM ABOUT DOING ANOTHER STUDY AND TAKING A LOOK AT THEM AND SEEING IF IT WARRANTS THEM PUTTING SOMETHING UP.
ONE OF THE OPTIONS IS SOMETHING CALLED THE HOCK SIGNAL.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IT ON HILLSBOROUGH IN FRONT OF WHERE THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER IS. IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE, SOMEBODY PRESSES A BUTTON, IT IS A SIGNAL THAT FLASHES AND TELLS TRAFFIC NEED TO STOP AND LET SOMEBODY PROSPERED THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE LOOKING INTO WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING.WE ARE WORKING WITH THE COUNTY LONG-TERM ON THAT, I WILL REACH OUT TO SEE IF THERE IS IN NEED OF THEIR IDEAS SHORT-TERM BESIDES HAVING THE BOARD MEASURING PEOPLE SPEED AS THEY GO THROUGH.
THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER MONITORING THEY COULD DO FROM TIME TO TIME THAT MAY BE ABLE TO HELP OUT.
WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY AND GIVEN THEM A
PUSH TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. >> REALLY ON BEHALF OF MYSELF THIS CONVERSATION, I CANNOT OF- TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THAT. ONE NOTE OF CAUTION, THE LAST - - THERE WAS ONE THAT WAS NOT TOO LONG AGO.
I WONDER IF, I APPRECIATE YOU TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT A TRAFFIC STUDY, BUT I WONDER IF HE SHOULD THINK OF IF YOU KEEP FEELING THAT STUDY. IF IT DOESN'T MEET A CERTAIN STANDARD, THEY WILL NOT PUT THESE DIFFERENT CROSSWALKS.
WHAT CAN WE DO? THEY SEEM TO HAVE BEEN TWO OR THREE TIMES OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
>> WE CAN FIND OUT FROM THE COUNTY WHERE THOSE AUCTIONS AR . THEY WILL BE LOOKING NOT JUST THE PEDESTRIANS BUT THE TRAFFIC SPIRIT THINGS MAY HAVE CHANGED OVER THEPAST YEAR OR TWO . WE WILL CONTINUE TO TELL THEM WHY IT IS IMPORTANT AND CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM AND
WAS MUCH AS WE CAN. >> I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
IF HELPING BRING RESIDENTS OUT TO SHARE PERSPECTIVES, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP FACILITATE IF THAT WAS HELPFUL.
THANK YOU. >> ANYTHING ELSE? EXCELLENT. LORI?
>> HAPPY NEW TO EVERYONE. IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE A PART OF A GREAT BOARD AND TO SEE EVERYBODY BACK AND WELCOME OUR NEW MEMBER. I KNOW YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE EXCELLENT CONVERSATIONS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE CITY.
[00:15:07]
I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT I MISSPOKE IN OUR LAST MEETING, WHICH IS NOT OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR ME.I DID TALK ABOUT THE STORM AND DOUGLAS BUILDING COMING DOWN, LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. HOWEVER, IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE BUILDING, THERE STILL AN ONGOING TRIALS AND STILL EVIDENCE. IT'S NOT GOING TO COME DOWN FOR A WHILE. IN THAT VEIN WITH STONEMAN DOUGLAS, NEWLY ELECTED CONGRESSMAN - - IS THE VICE CHAIR OF THE GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION TASK FORCE TO REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE AND SAVE LIVES. OUR HOMETOWN PERSON WENT TO WASHINGTON AND IMMEDIATELY WENT ON TO THE COMMITTEE AS VICE CHAIR FOR THE ISSUE THAT, AMONG MANY ISSUES, THAT UNIFY THE CITY. I JUST WANT TO THANK HIM FOR HIS EFFORTS. HE WORKS VERY WELL WITH EVERYONE, SOHOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL GET DONE .
I KNOW WE HAVE A BIG AGENDA, WHATEVER HAVE TO OFFER CAN BRING TO THE NEXT MEETING. I WANTED TO WISH EVERYONE A
HEALTHY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. >> LORI, RUPERT?> HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE ANDSPECIAL WELCOME TO MARIANA .
WE MET THE FARMERS MARKET WELCOME BACK TO ALL OF OUR FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS. LISTENING TO ANGELICA JUST NOW, ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS I MAY MAKE IF YOU PERMIT ME TO DO SO IS, MAYBE TO THINK ABOUT RELOCATING THE POLICE, THE CARS AND - - AREAS WITH THE NEEDS MAY BE GREATER.
THERE IS ONE POLICEMAN ALWAYS IT HILLSBOROUGH BOULEVARD, NO AREAS EVERY TIME. I SEE HIM AND WHEN HE LEAVES THERE, I'VE SEEN CARS BY RYAN. MAYBE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE SHORT-TERM TO HAVE THE POLICEMAN RELOCATED TO AREAS OF NEED. BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.
THANK YOU. >> OBVIOUSLY, THAT IS HUGE.
IF THEY WILL DO TRAFFIC, MAYBE THEY CAN DO IN AN AREA.
ONE THING ABOUT A POLICE DEPARTMENT IS THEY DON'T TARGET PEOPLE. THUS IN AN AREA WHERE THEY WILL GET A SPEEDING TICKETS THEY GENERATE REVENUE.
THEY WILL GO WHERE THERE IS VISIBILITY SO IT DETERS CRIME.
THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. MAYBE THE CAPTAIN CAN GET THAT TO THAT AREA A LITTLE BIT MORE AND KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS A LITTLE BIT BETTER. THAT IS A GOOD IDEA.
COMMISSIONER CUTLER, I THINK YOU WILL BE THERE AS WELL AS ALWAYS. WHEN DO YOU SLEEP? [LAUGHTER]. I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SLEEP. RICH WALKER WILL BE THERE TOMORROW, HE WILL BE ONE OF THE SPEAKERS NOT TO THE HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE CHRISTINE WILL BE THERE AS WELL.
I KNOW THOSE FOR WILL BE THE SPEAKERS TOMORROW.
DENISE? >> CAN I INTERJECT?ON THIS TOPIC, THERE WAS AN EMAIL THAT WENT OUT ONTUESDAY , LAST TUESDAY TO ALL OF THE HOA PRESIDENTS TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR STREET SAFETY IN THE COMMUNITIES THERE WERE SOME FLYERS ATTACHED AND I-4 ONE CIRCULATED THEM AMONGST ALL HOMEOWNERS IN MY COMMUNITY. HOPEFULLY THAT HAPPENED IN ALL
[00:20:03]
APARTMENTCOMMUNITIES AS WELL . >> PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THEM AS THE DUMMY VEHICLES THAT STICK AROUND AND PARKED IN DIFFERENT AREAS.AS LONG AS THEY'RE GETTING SHUFFLED AROUND THEM IF THEY HAVE THE VEHICLES IN CERTAIN AREAS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE UNMANNED JUST DEPART FROM SOMEPLACE, IF THEY START MOVING THEM AROUND, PEOPLE WILL BE MORE PRONE TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS BEING FOR FIVE DAYS, THE CAR IS PARKED HERE.T IS A GOOD DETERRENT. DENISE?
>> I ECHO WHATEVER SHARRY SAID YOU SAID EVERYTHING SO BEAUTIFULLY. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY, I LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER TERM HERE.
I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THIS FLOAT, IT'S ON MY MIND DAY AND
NIGHT. >> I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME MARIANO. LIKE RUPERT MENTIONED, HE CAME TO OUR TENT AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH US, IT WAS VERY NICE
MEETING YOU. >> MARIANO WAS ALSO A FRIEND OF THE PARKLAND LIBRARY, JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT.
>> YOU CAN SIT IN THAT CHAIR IN THE FRONT, THEN.
ANYTHING TO ADD? >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE. TO ANGELICA WAS MENTIONING, THE SOLUTION WAS MERCEDES, THAT WAS MY FLAGSHIP OPPORTUNITY ENROLLED IN THE COMMUNITY BUT IT IS NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT IN THE RESPONSE HAS TO BE SOMETHING TO WHOEVER IN BROWARD COUNTY. I AM HERE TO COLLABORATE.

[APPLAUSE]. >> VERY NICE, THANK YOU.

IT HAS BEEN A PRIVILEGE AND HONOR TO SERVE AS YOUR CHAIR, LOVE DOING IT. I NEED TO APPOINT A CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPOINT THE
CHAIR. >> I WOULD LIKE TO APPOINT OR RECOMMEND FOR APPOINTMENT MR. KENNEDY.
>> THAT WOULD BE AN HONOR. IT'S KIND OF HARD WHEN YOU WERE THE GUY, I GUESS WE WILL TAKE A VOTE ON THAT AS WELL.
>> POSED? OKAY, THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION NOW FOR THE VICE CHAIR.
[00:25:03]

>> ONE THING I DO ADD HERE, - - ANGELICA WAS WORKING WITH US
FOR SEVEN YEARS. >> EIGHT YEARS, I THINK.
>> THERE ARE A COUPLE OF NEW THINGS IN HERE BUT I DECIDED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD ALL MY SUPPRESSION BOOKS, MARIANO GOT HIS A FEW WEEKS AGO SO HE HAS BEEN STUDYING UP.
YOU HAVE ALL OF THAT IN THERE INCLUDING THE MEETING DATES WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL NEED TO VOTE TO APPROVE.
AFTER THAT CHAIR, IF I COULD, A PART OF THE OATH OF OFFICE IS THAT THE DEPUTY CITY CLERK HAD A LITTLE OF EDUCATION TO GO OVER ABOUT SUNSHINE LAW AND SUCH IN THE BOOKS, IF YOU WOULD NOT MIND AFTER THE MEETING DATES AREAPPROVED .
>> EXCELLENT. >> DO YOU RECYCLE THE OLD
BOOKS? >> I WOULD BE HAPPY TO IF YOU

THAT ANYONE HAS? >> I HAVE A CONFLICT ON MAY 9.
>> WE DO HAVE TWO ALTERNATES, AS LONG AS WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT OR IF IT'S A HOLIDAY OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER FOR SURE.

DO WE NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE? >> AND MOVIE APPROVE THESE
>> SECOND. >> EVERYBODY SIGNIFY BY SAYING
>> ANYONE OPPOSED? PLEASE SHOW THAT IT PASSED.
NEXT? >> WELCOME EVERYONE, I'M STEPHANIE, THE DEPUTY CITY CLERK.
ALLISON, R CITY CLERK PREPARED A WELCOME PACKET FOR YOU ALL.
THOSE THAT ARE REAPPOINTED WILL BE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS, BUT I WILL GO OVER VERY BRIEFLY FOR YOU.
LET'S SEE, THE CLERKS, WE RECORD YOUR MEETINGS AND ASSIST THE ADVISORY BOARD AND MEETING PREP.
WE COMPILE THE AGENDA AND TRANSCRIBE MINUTES AND CLOSED THE MEETING NOTICES AND CAN ADMINISTER YOUR OATH OF OFFICE.
THE SUNSHINE LAW, WHAT ABOUT I MEETINGS MUST BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, REASONABLE NOTICE MUST BE POSTED AND MINUTES MUST BE TAKEN. MINUTES OF PERMANENT RECORD FOR PUBLIC MEETINGS. DOES THIS ONLY APPLY TO THE COMMISSION? NO, THE SUNSHINE LAW WOULD APPLY TO THE ADVISORY BOARDS AS WELL.
IT APPLIES ANY GATHERING OF TWO OR MORE MEMBERS OF THE SAME BOARD DISCUSSING BUSINESS - - SOMETHING WE MAY VOTE ON.
EVEN THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ARE ADVISING AND MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COMMISSION, THE SUNSHINE LAW STILL APPLIES. WHAT IS SUBJECT TO THE SUNSHINE LAW? ANY MEMBER OF THE BUSINESS THAT CAN COME TOGETHER FOR THE VOTE, IF YOU HAVING A CONVERSATION OR COMMUNICATING AND IS NOT BEING RECORDED IN A PUBLIC MEETING, YOU SHOULD NOT BE DISCUSSING IT WITH ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER.
[00:30:03]
NEXT PUBLIC RECORDS, IT IS ALL MATERIAL REGARDLESS OF FORMAT MADE OR RECEIVED WITH OFFICIAL CITY BUSINESS.TEXT MESSAGES, EMAILS, THAT CAN ALL BE PUBLIC RECORD YOU'RE WELCOME TO TAKE NOTES, BUT WANT TO SHARE A NOTE WITH SOMEONE, IT BECOMES PUBLIC RECORD AND SOMEBODY CAN REQUEST IT.
IF YOU ARE TAKING NOTES FOR YOURSELF AND NOT SHARING, THAT IS NOT PUBLIC RECORD. WE ALL KNOW ABOUT MAKING MOTIONS, SOMETIMES THE CHAIR WILL ASK FOR A MOTION ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER CAN SECOND THE MOTION, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION.
THEY CAN SECOND IT TO MOVE IT ON FORDISCUSSION OR ABOUT .
WE HAD THE CHAIR, WE USUALLY HAVE THE CHAIR ANNOUNCED THE RESULTS. HE WILL SAY ALL IN FAVOR OR ALL OPPOSED. HE WOULD ASK THE CHAIR WHO MADE THE FIRST MOTION, WHERE THE SECOND AND WHETHER IT WAS UNANIMOUS. I THINK THAT COVERS EVERYTHING.
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY YOUR TIME ON THE BOARD AGAIN.
THANK YOU ALL FOR VOLUNTEERING TO SERVE.
>> THANK YOU STEPHANIE. OKAY, NOW WE HAVE 8D WHICH IS THE COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD AND ALLSTATE SCHOLARSHIPS.
FUN TIME NOW, HERE WE GO. >> IT COMES AROUND AGAIN SO
QUICKLY, DOESN'T IT? >> IT REALLY DOES.
>> ONE THING THIS BOARD HAS BEEN A GREAT JOB WITH IS MAKING SURE THAT WE AWARDED SCHOLARSHIPS TO PARKLAND YOUTH AND WE GET A LOT OF APPLICATIONS EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
ONE THING THAT I HAVE LEFT FOR YOU UP THERE AT YOUR SPOT WAS THIS LITTLE TIMELINE, SO WE CAN KIND OF KEEP TRACK OF WHERE WE ARE GOING WITH THAT. YOU KNOW ALL THESE APPLICATIONS HAVE GONE OUT OF THE SCHOOLS AND THE DUE DATE IS JANUARY 27.
WHAT I WANTED TO FIND OUT FROM YOU ALL IS IF YOU WANT TO PROCEED IN THE SAME WAY WE HAVE DONE BEFORE? ANYONE INTERESTED IN BEING IN THE SUBCOMMITTEE ANDSERVING , THE KIND OF DIVIDE THE GROUP OFF BY HALF, HALF THE GROUP IS THE APPLICATION REVIEW AND HALF DOES THE INTERVIEWS.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS IF WE ARE GETTING ON THE APPLICATION AND BY GENERIC 27, WE CAN GET COPIES OF THE APPLICATIONS TO THE REVIEW GROUP I WAS IN A FEBRUARY 3, JUST GIVE US A COUPLE OF DAYS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS THERE.
TWO WEEKS FOR REVIEW, THAT IS FAIR THEN INTERVIEWS COULD PROBABLY START AS EARLY AS FEBRUARY 22.
A FEW DECISIONS HERE, HOW DO YOU WANT TO PROCEED? IF WE ARE DIVIDING THEM UP THAT WAY AND WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THOSE DATES SO THEY ARE DATES THAT ARE CONVENIENTFOR YOU .
>> USUALLY WHAT WE DO IS WE FLIP-FLOP EXPERT USUALLY LIMITED INTERVIEWS LAST TIME WITH THE APPLICATION REVIEW THIS TIME AND VICE VERSA. WHO DID THE INTERVIEWS LAST TIME? IT WAS LORI.
>> VIA INTERVIEWS FOR YOUTH AMBASSADOR PROGRAMS. THAT WILL BE THE NEXT TOPIC THAT WE TALK ABOUT.
IT'S ALL UP TO YOU, HOWEVER YOU ALL WANT TO DO THAT.
>> I HAVE NO PROBLEM DOING THE APPLICATION STATUS.
IT IS INTERESTING, IT'S AMAZING WHAT THESE KIDS ARE.
DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO DO THESE APPLICATIONS FOR ME?
WE HAVE RUPERT, WE HAVE LORI. >> THAT'S FOUR OF US.
>> AND FOR INTERVIEWS? >> ,ASK ABOUT INTERVIEWS?
WHAT IS THE TIME? >> THAT WE CAN ALSO DECIDE.
IT WILL HAVE TO BE AFTER SCHOOL, AFTERNOONS INTO THE
EVENING. >> THAT IS A PROBLEM FOR YOU, WE CAN ALWAYS SWITCH THEIR IF IT'S A PROBLEM OR WE CAN'T BE THERE FOR THE INTERVIEWS, I WILL COME FOR THE INTERVIEWS.
>> I WILL BACK YOU UP. >> THEN BILL ARE WE GOING TO
MOVIES INTERVIEWS? >> AN OFFER AFFECT THE SCHEDULE, IT WILL PROBABLY BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE IT IS DURING THE DAYTIME YOU'REDOING INTERVIEWS .
>> IN THE AFTERNOONS. >> ME AND RUPERT ARE BACKUP
[00:35:22]
EMERGENCY GUYS. >> YOU DON'T WANT TO BE
PERMANENTLY? >> IT WILL BE WITH THE APPLICATION AND SHARRY WILL BE WITH THE APPLICATION.
>> THE CITY CAN AND WANT TO PARTICIPATE.
>> MARIANO, WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BEFORE? WHAT HAPPENS IS WE HAVE SCHOLARSHIPS THAT WE ARE IN CHARGE OF GOING TO THE APPLICATIONS OF THESE KIDS.
WE SEE THEIR GPA, THEIR TRANSCRIPTS, THEIR ESSAYS.
THE PACKET IS NOT THAT BIG, IT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE, LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY. WE GRADED ON A SCALE OF WHAT WE GRADED EACH ONE OF THE STUDENTS FOR.
THEN WE BRING BACK THE TOP FIV .
>> WE USUALLY BRING BACK, I WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THE RUBRIC.
>> WHATEVER IT IS, WE BRING THEM BACK AND THAT PANELS APPEAR AND THE INTERVIEWEE STUDENT ONE BY ONE.THEY THEN GET GRADED ON THE INTERVIEWS AND LATER ON THE TALLY OF THE SCORES ON THE APPLICATION AND THAT IS HOWTHEY WILL DECIDE WHO
GETS THE SCHOLARSHIPS . >> WE HAVE A LIST OF QUESTIONS AND WE AS MEMBERS TAKE TURNS BUT ALL THE APPLICANT GET THE SAME QUESTION SO WE ARE NOT ASKING DIFFERENT QUESTIONS.
>>SOUNDS FAIR . >> THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT SCHOLARSHIPS. WE HAVE A FEW OF THEM.
THERE ARE TWO FOR ALLSTATE AND THREE FOR - - AND THEY ARE
DIFFERENT. >> DO WE NEED THEM FOR THE
INTERVIEWS?>> JEFF, DO YOU HAVE YOU INTERVIEWER
APPLICATION? >> ABLE TO INTERVIEW.
>> WE ARE EVEN UP ON EITHER SIDE, WHATEVER YOU WOULDLIKE .
>> FOR THE REVIEW GROUP, THE APPLICATION GROUP, IS TWO WEEKS FAIR FOR YOU TO REVIEW? OKAY.
LOOKS LIKE IF WE CAN YOU APPLICATION BY FEBRUARY 3 AND WE HAVE TWO WEEKS FROM THERE, BEGIN TO INTERVIEWS AS EARLY AS HEAVY OR 22ND. NO PRESSURE AT THIS MOMENT, BEFORE THE INTERVIEW GROUP, IF YOU WANT BUT I CAN DO IS THE CHAMBERS THAT WERE AVAILABLE AND WHAT MATCHES UP WITH HER SCHEDULE. DEPENDING ON HOW MANY APPLICANTS WHETHER THEY HAVE ONE DAY OR TWO, THAT KIND OF
THING. >> NEXT WE HAVE 8D, THE YOUTH AMBASSADOR PROGRAM FOR THE 2023 /2024 SCHOOL YEAR.
FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK JACKIE, IT WAS BROUGHT TO HER ATTENTION THAT WE HAVE A LEVEL OF CONFLICT FOR THE STUDENTS AND SHE IS TAKING CARE OF THAT. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IF HE CONTINUES ON THE AMBASSADOR PROGRAM.WHAT IS THE - - ALLOTMENT THE SAME DAY AS THE PARADE AND THE SAT? THEY WILL BE A PART OF THE PARADE AND ALL FIVE OF THEM ARE TAKING SATS. SHE IS TAKING CARE OF THAT WITH OUR PRESIDENT. THEY WILL DECIDE THAT THEY ARE STILL GOING TO BE PREPARING THE FLOAT IN THE A PART OF PREPARING THE FLOAT. THEY WILL SHOW UP AFTERWARDS TO SAY A PART OF THE EVENT, SO IT ALL WORKED OUT.
>> NO PROBLEM AT ALL, SOMETHING AND NEVER WORRIED ABOUT IS WHAT THE COMMITMENTS ARE IN ALL AREAS.
I HAVE GOT TO TELL YOU THAT THE FIRST EVENT THEY HAVE WORKED OUT, THE SNOW FAST, I WAS THERE AND WATCHED HOW HARD THEY WERE WORKING. I KNOW ANGELINA WAS UP WITH THE SNOW SLIDES AND I SAW PEOPLE WALKING AROUND WITH THE SURVEYS
[00:40:05]
AND A FEW OF THEM WERE WORKING AT THE GAMES THE LITTLE KIDS.THEY WERE WORKING REALLY HARD I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE DONE. [APPLAUSE].
>> YOU DEFINITELY GOT THE RIGHT FIVE, THAT'S FOR SURE.
>> I CANNOT BELIEVE IT IS COME AROUND AGAIN FOR US ARE THINKING ABOUT YOUTH AMBASSADOR PROGRAM GROUP NUMBER TWO.
IF WE ARE IN THE SAME TIMELINE AS YOU WERE LAST YEAR, WE HAVE APPLICATIONS GOING ON FEBRUARY WHICH WILL BE BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING. I WANTED YOU ALL TO THINK ABOUT IT THE SAME THING WITH THE SCHOLARSHIPS, IF YOU WANT TO USE THE SAME PROCESS AND DO THE SAME THING WE DID LAST YEAR TO CHOOSE OUR YOUTH AMBASSADOR GROUPS.
>> IS THE SAME AS WE DID WITH THE ALLSTATE SCHOLARSHIPS.
>> WE ARE BRIDGING THE APPLICATION FOR THIS ONE CAN DO THE INTERVIEWS FOR THE NEXT ONE.
EVERYBODY GETS A LITTLE PIECE OFEVERYTHING .
THAT WAS PAINLESS. ANYTHING ELSE WITH THAT REGARDING THE YOUTH AMBASSADOR, JACKIE?
>> AND GREG, THANK YOU. >> I WAS WONDERING WHAT IS THAT PROCESS KICKOFF IN TERMS OF WHEN THEY SUBMIT?
>> THAT WILL BE MORE LIKE APRIL.
[9. Old Business]
I THINK WE HAVE END OF MARCH, EARLY APRIL DEADLINE WANT TO PUT THE APPLICATION OUT IN FEBRUARY FOR THEM TO BENEXT ON THE AGENDA IS ALL BUSINESS.
TONIGHT FOR ALL BUSINESS, WE HAVE THE RECAP OF THE CULTURAL AWARENESS AND INCLUSION EVENT AT THE FARMERS MARKET AND HARVEST DRIVE, WHICH WAS AMAZING AND B, THE UPDATE IN THE COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD HISTORIC PRESERVATION FLOAT FOR PARK WEDNESDAY.IF YOU WANT TO SHOP AT THE RECAP?
>> SURE. YOU ALL THAT A FANTASTIC JOB IN DOING THAT RECAP ALREADY IN YOUR COMMENTS.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ATTENDANCE AND YOUR HARD WORK ON BOTH OF THOSE EVENTS. UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE CULTURAL AWARENESS AND INCLUSION EVENT, WE HAD A PRETTY RAINY EVENT.
PARKLAND LOVES THE FARMERS MARKET SO THEY WERE OUT THERE.
WHETHER THEY WERE RUNNING IN, RUNNING OUT, JUST SEEING WHAT WAS GOING ON, THEY WERE OUT THERE THANK YOU FOR THAT.WE HAD A SUCCESSFUL EVENT. THE HARVEST DRIVE, EVERYBODY GET THE WORD OUT AND WE GET SO MANY GREAT DONATIONS.
WE GOT SOME AHEAD OF TIME AND PLENTY PEOPLE SHOWING UP AT THE MARKET, REMEMBERING TO BRING THEIR STUFF.
THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE THERE, YOU SAW HOW BIG THOSE BOXES WERE THAT BILL GOT.WE FILLED SIX OF THOSE BIG BOXES.
I KNOW RENC)E AND HER TEAM ARE SO THANKFUL TO RECEIVE THOSE, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THAT.
I THINK HARVEST DRIVE HASN'T SOME FANTASTIC STUFF IN THIS AREA AND YOU ALL HELP THEM MAKE IT SUCCESSFUL, SO THANK YOU.
>> CAN WE MAKE THESE REGULAR OCCURRENCES? WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR DOING THAT NOW? WE NOT DO THE HARVEST DRIVE WITH THE SAME STUFF, WE HAD A ONE-DAY COLLECTION BECAUSE WE WERE NOT STORING, A LOT OF PEOPLE THAN I COULD TO BRING THEIR STUFF THERE THAT WASSTILL IN THEIR HOME. I THINK THAT WOULD WORK OUT AND IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER ON US .
DIVERSITY INCLUSIVITY, I WANT TO COMMEND EVERYBODY.
THIS WHOLE BOARD REALLY EMBRACED THE SUBJECT.
IT WAS A LITTLE BIT DICEY AT THE BEGINNING BECAUSE WE HAD SOME OUTSIDE MEETINGS. I THINK EVERYBODY HERE STEPPED UP AND DID A WONDERFUL JOB. I THINK WE COULD IMPROVE ON SOME OF OUR ALLIANCES, BUT THAT WAS A WONDERFUL EVENT AND SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> WE ARE HAVING AT THE SAME
TIME NEXT YEAR? >> WITHOUT THE RAIN.
[LAUGHTER]. >> THE THE NEW FARMERS MARKET
CALENDAR STARTED? >> THAT WAS THE SECOND FARMERS MARKET. THE FARMERS MARKET SEASON GOES
THROUGHAPRIL . >> WE WOULD NEED TO GET, SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE TO DESIGNATE AND COORDINATE WITH THE FARMERS MARKET A DATE THAT WORKS WELL WITH THEM THAT THEY DON'THAVE SOMEBODY ELSE DOING SOMETHING ?
>> WE GET THE FARMERS MARKET SCHEDULED ALL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THEY HAVE ALREADY GOT A THEME FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE. IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
[00:45:01]
HARVEST DRIVE, I WASN'T SURE. >> WE DO THAT WERE THE HOLIDAY
SEASON, RIGHT? >> YES, THAT IS THE SAME TIME
EVERYYEAR . >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.
IF WE COULD HAVE AT THE SAME TIME EVERY YEAR, THAT WOULD
WORK WELL. >> COMMISSIONER CUTLER SHOWED UP WITH A BIG BAG FULL OF STUF .
>> IF WE HAVE THE SAME TIME EVERY YEAR, THE SAME WEEKEND.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU POSSIBLE FOR THE CULTURAL AWARENESS ONE, IT WAS ONE OF THE THANKSGIVING WEEK BOOKEND WEEKENDS, IF I REMEMBER THE FARMERS MARKET.
IT WAS A SUNDAY BEFORE, SCHOOLS HAVE OFF THE ENTIRE WEEK, I WAS ABLE TOMAKE IT . I WAS WONDERING IF THERE'S A WAY TO SHIFT THAT ONE EARLIER OR LATER SO IS NOT THANKSGIVING
WEEK. >> I DO NOT HAVE A REGULAR THING. WE WERE DOING THIS ONE EVENT, I'M NOT SURE IF THAT WAS A SCHEDULED THING EVERY YEAR I KNOW WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ARVEST DRIVE, THIS GROUP OF THE HARVEST DRIVE EVERY YEAR FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS.
THAT IS TOTALLY UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO CONSIDER TWO HARVEST DRIVE AGAIN AS A CONTINUING COMMUNITY SERVICE
PROJECT. >> I AM SURE WE ARE GOING TO.
>> YOU MIGHT THINK OF DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT .
THEY MAY FIND THE TOILETRIES IS INSULTINGLY NEW, MAYBE THEY
NEED SOMETHING ELSE. THANK YOU FOR THAT.>> NEXT WE HAVE THE UPDATE ON THE COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD HISTORIC PRESERVATION FLOAT FOR PARK WEDNESDAY.
HERE IS MY QUESTION, I KNOW CAROL WAS IN CHARGE OF THE FUNDING AND YOU HAD MENTIONED TO DENISE THAT SOMEBODY ALSO TAKING OVER THE FUNDING OF THAT EVENT?
>> JEFF I MENTIONED THAT THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY WILL BE PAYING FOR IT AND FUNDING THE FLOAT.
>> I BELIEVE YOU MENTIONED THAT LAST MEETING.
>> GOOD, WE ARE SET THERE. WHAT DO WE HAVE JACKIE AS FAR
AS UPDATES? >> DESIGN IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW YOU ARE ALL EXCITED ABOUT IT IF YOU HAVE ANY UPDATE ON
THAT. >> I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS THE ONE THAT WAS THE LEAD FOR THE TRAILER.
>> THAT IS US, THAT'S ME. THEY WANT TO SEE THE DESIGN, THAT IS WHAT I GET WITH YOU GUYS.
HERE'S MY NEXT QUESTION, IS IT GOING TO BE A VIOLATION OF SUNSHINE IF BETWEEN NOW, WE WILL HAVE A MEETING BETWEEN NOW AND THE FLOAT. CAN WE HAVE MAYBE A TIME WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND START WORKING ON THIS.
I WAS WE CANNOT WORK ON IS SITTING RIGHT NOW, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO GET TOGETHER BETWEEN NOW AND PARADE DAY TO GO OVER THE PLANS AND THE ARCHITECT AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
CAN WE HAVE A SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING.
>> I DON'T THAT THE MEETING YOU NEED TO HAVE.
>> I THINK WE CAN FIGURE OUT, WE WILL ALL TALK AFTER THE MEETING AND GET TOGETHER AND SEND SOME EMAILS OUT SO WE CAN GET TOGETHER. AS FAR AS THE BASE, IT IS FINE, BUT WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE GOING UP THE BASE SO WE KNOW KIND OF REAL SYSTEM WE WILL NEED AND HOW BIG THE BASE WE ARE EXPECTING TO HAVE, HOW LONG IT SHOULD BE.
IF I GET A 15 FOOT TRAILER AND WE ARE ONLY DESIGNING FOR 8 FEET, IT IS KIND OF A WASTE. IF I GET AN 8 FOOT TRAILER AND REDESIGNING FOR 15 FEET, THESE ARE THE SPECS THAT WE NEED.
HAT IS WHAT I NEED TO KNOW AS FAR AS THE DESIGN.
>> THE ONLY THING I CAN GIVE YOU IS MY DESIGN.
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO BE, THAT'S NOT MY EXPERTISE. I'M NOT FAMILIARAND HOW TO BUILD IT . I WOULD'VE ALREADY ORDERED A BANNER AND PUT IT ON THE SIDE IF I KNEW HOW LONG IT WAS GOING TO BE I DON'T KNOW HOW HIGH YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE.
[00:50:11]
THE MAXIMUM IS 12 FEET, I WILL FIGURE OUT 12 FEET.>> YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN EMAIL ME SO I CAN LOOK AT
THE SCHEMATICS OF IT? >> I THOUGHT I'D GIVE IT TO YOU
WHEN WE WERE HERE LASTTIME . >> IS THAT THE SAME THING WITH
THE STICK FIGURES? OKAY, WE HAVE THAT.>> I WAS WONDERING, DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE WILL BE BUILDING ALL THESE THINGS OUT OF? WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT TO BE
MADE OUT OF DIFFERENT FIGURES? >> I BELIEVE THEY WILL BE NATURAL TREES. WE WERE TO PURCHASE TREES TO PUT THEM ON THEIR WITH HEY, THE KIDS WITH THE BASKETS AND THE
FENCE ALONG THE EDGE. >> THE STICK FIGURES ARE GOING TO BE REAL PEOPLE IN OTHER WORDS?
>> I DO NOT PUT ANY STICK FIGURES ON IT.
IT WAS JUST A DRAWING. >> THAT'S WHAT I MEANT, AND REPRESENTED REAL PEOPLE. MAYBE THAT CAN HELP IF YOU KNOW WHICH MANY TREES OR WHATEVER. I AM HAPPY TO TRY AND SCALE IT
OUT FOR YOU. >> YES, WE WILL FIGURE THAT
ALL-OUT. >> I HAVE ONE CONCERN.
HOW MANY CHILDREN ARE YOU PLANNING ON HAVING? WILL THERE BE A STAND THEY CAN LEAN ON TO BALANCE THEMSELVES? I KNOW EVEN IN THE MACY'S DAY, THERE IS ALWAYS TESTING THAT
THEY CAN LEAN ON. >> I WILL BE SPEAKING TO THE CITY ATTORNEY TOMORROW REGARDING A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT IS A CITY EVENT AND HE WILL HAVE A CITY TRUCK OR SOMETHING THAT WILLPULL THE TRAILER . I AM FINDING OUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE, IT'S A PERSONAL ISSUE.
NOW THE QUESTION OF PERSONAL LIABILITY THE PERSON DRIVING A PICKUP TRUCK OR WHATEVER. IT'S DEFINITELY AN ISSUE THAT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER, SO AFTER SPEAKING CITY ATTORNEY TOMORROW AND SEE HOW WE WILL HANDLE THIS MATTER.PERSONALLY, I'VE NEVER BEEN A PART OF THE PARADE OR PUTTING ON A PARADE OR HAVING A DRIVER IN A PARADE. THESE ARE THE THINGS WE WILL
DISCUSS TOMORROW. >> WILL THE CITY HAVE THEIR OWN
FLOATS? >> THE CITY WILL HAVE THEIR OWN
FLOATS. >> COULD ONLY USE ONE OF THEIR
>> WE DO NOT FALL UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THE CITY?
>> I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION OF THAT, BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. THESE ARE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS I HAVE TO ASK THE CITY ATTORNEY TOMORROW.
I DON'T HAVE A PICKUP TRUCK, I HAVE TO FIND SOMEBODY THAT HAS A PICKUP TRUCK THATWILL PULL THE TRAILER .
I HAVE TO SPANK THIS PERSON THAT THERE IS PERSONAL LIABILITY TO THAT AND WHAT TYPE OF INSURANCE THAT THAT PERSON GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE AS FAR AS THE REQUIREMENTS THE CITY WILL REQUIRE. A LOT OF THESE GUYS HAVE BECOME TRUCKS AND LANDSCAPING BUSINESSES, DO THEY HAVE THE COVERAGE FOR THAT TYPE OF LIABILITY? ARE THE EXCLUSIONS FOR USING THE TRUCK FOR YOUR PARADE? THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS AT THE DISCUSS.
>> WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SHARE ANY OF THEM IN AN EMAIL? OR, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION?
>> I THINK I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DISSEMINATE THE INFORMATION ONCE I RECEIVE IT. I NEED TO HAVE A FURTHER CONVERSATION WITH THAT ATTORNEY TO SEE WHAT YOU CAN DISCUSS ABOUT THIS. IF IT IS AN OPEN FORUM LIKE THIS AND YOU'RE MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT THE FLOAT, I WILL HAVE TO FIND THAT OUT. AGAIN, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THINGS, THAT IS ONE THING BUT THE CHILDREN THAT ARE MADE IS ANOTHER STORY. BESIDES BILL TALKING WITH THEIR ATTORNEY, I WILL ALSO BE TALKING WITH OUR ATTORNEY.
>> BILL, I KNOW YOU ARE AN ATTORNEY, BUT SINCE I AM A CONSUMER, LET ME JUST THROW THE SITUATION OUT.
IF WE AS A COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD VOTED TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF THE FLOAT AND WE ARE HAVING CHILDREN ON AND THEY GET HURT, ARE WE ALL PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE? IF WE ACCEPTED DESIGN AND ARE GOING WITH THAT ?
[00:55:03]
I KNOW MANY PEOPLE ON HERE, WHEN THEY ARE ON A BOARD OR IF THEY ARE IN HOA PRESIDENT THEY ARE COVERED BY INSURANCE BUT THE BOARD HAS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WECOVERED. >> FIRST OF ALL, IT'S A PARADE.
PEOPLE WALK THE PARADE. THERE IS NO REASON WHY WE EVEN HAVE TO HAVE ANYBODY ON THE FLOAT IF YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. WE CAN BUILD A BEAUTIFUL FLOAT IN THAT BEAUTIFUL SIGNAGE AND BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECT AND HAVE PEOPLE WALK ALONGSIDE IT IF WE FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. THAT IS LESS LIABILITY ON THE PERSON TO BE ASKED TO PULL THE TRAILER.
WE ARE STILL A PART OF IT AND THEY CAN BE PASSING OUT THINGS AS THEY ARE WALKING. IT COULD BE EVEN MORE FUN FOR THE KIDS AND MORE INTERACTIVE. MAYBE WE CAN FIGURE SOMETHING
LIKE THAT OUT. >> THERE IS NOT NEED TO BE AFLOAT. MORE CREATIVE THAN THAT, THERE CAN BE WALKING GROUPS. THERE COULD BE GROUPS OF STUDENTS WALKING. ALSO HANDING OUT THINGS THAT I KNOW ON THE LIST OF NO GOES FROM THE PARADE ROUTE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT. BUT YOU ARE RIGHT, AFLOAT IS NOT NECESSARILY NEED TO HAVE ANYBODY ON IT.
>> WE CAN BUILD SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND HAVE NICE SIGNAGE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. PEOPLE THAT WANT TO BE A PART OF IT CAN BE WALKING, I JUST WANT TO BE AT A VERY SLOW PACE ANYWAY. IF EVERYBODY FEELS MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, THAT MIGHT BE THE WAY TO GO.
I KNOW THERE ARE
