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

COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO COMMENT ON A NON-AGENDA ITEM?

NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO COME TO THE PODIUM. >> IS THE BUDGET AGENDA ITEM?

>> YES IT IS. WE HAVE NONE. WE WILL GO TO THE MAYOR AND COMMISSION COMMENTS. COMMISSIONER CUTLER WOULD YOU LIKE TO START?

>> ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THE FIRST THING I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS TO SHARE A MESSAGE TO THE COMMISSION AND THE CITY STAFF SAID TO ME BY FORMER ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER AUDREY WHEELER. DONNIE PAGLIA AND HER FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS HOW TOUCHED THEY WERE BY THE FORMER MAYORS COMMISSIONER AND CITY COLLEAGUES WHO CAME TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS AT SAL'S FUNERAL. IT REALLY MEANT A LOT TO EACH OF THEM. AFTER THE LOSS OF HER BEST FRIEND DOROTHY WITH NOT IN A GOOD PLACE AT THE TIME BUT WAS VERY PLEASED WHEN SHE WAS LATER TOLD OF THOSE THAT ATTENDED THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND YOUR EXPRESSIONS OF CONDOLENCE FOR THE PAGLIARO FAMILY.

AT THE START OF SCHOOL I HAD A CHANCE TO GREET THE STUDENTS AND PARENTS AT SOMERSET IT WAS PURE JOY AND I HOPE THE KIDS WERE AS HAPPY AS THE PARENTS WERE WHO WERE DROPPING THEM OFF. ON AUGUST 23 I ALONG WITH SEVERAL OF THE COMMISSIONERS AND MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY HAD A CHANCE TO ATTEND THE HEARING ON THE APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT FOR PINE TREE ESTATES ROADWAY ISSUES. I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT AFTER MANY YEARS WE ARE NOW SUCCESSFUL IN CLARIFYING THE LEGAL ISSUES AND ALLOWING THE CITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A HUGE PROJECT OF REPAIRING THE STREETS IN PINE TREE.

I WANT TO EXPRESS MY THANKS TO THE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY FOR THEIR DEDICATION AND DILIGENCE TO CLEAR UP THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE AND HELP US TO MOVE THE MATTER FORWARD TO.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO EXPRESS MY THANKS TO HER COUNSELOR IS GREG STEWART AND HIS TEAM AND TO OUR VERY OWN ANTHONY SIROCCO IN OUR EFFORTS TO GET THIS COMPLICATED LEGAL MANMATTER TO THE FINISH LINE. AT THE TOP OR NINTH WE OPENED A SPLASH SPLASH EVENT WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY THE MEMBERSHIP TEAM AT THE LIBRARY. ATTENDEES WERE TREATED TO TEA AND SNACKS. GUEST SPEAKERS SIR CHRIS SILLA CORN AND KYOKO FROM THE MUSEUM AND GARDENS TAUGHT EVERYONE ABOUT TEA IN THE UK AND PRESENTED A JAPANESE TEA CEREMONY. I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME EVERYONE TO CONSIDER JOINING THE FRIENDS. TODAY WE HAD A CHANCE TO CELEBRATE THE GRAND REOPENING OF THE SOCIAL HALL CONGREGATION ACROSS THE PARKING LOT. THEY DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB AND I WISH THEM MUCH SUCCESS AND MANY WONDERFUL EVENTS IN THEIR UPGRADED FACILITY THAT WAS ORIGINALLY OPENED IN 2008. THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> COMMISSIONER? COMMISSIONER MASON?>> THANK YOU MAYOR.

I WOULD LIKE TO GRADUATE MY COLLEAGUE ON HIS RETIREMENT. I HEARD HE HAS BEEN SAYING HE'S GOING TO BE RETIRING EVERY TO OR FIVE YEARS BUT IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING.

[00:05:01]

ANY CHALLENGES OR ANY PROBLEMS I'M SURE THEY ARE THEONES HERE AND THERE BUT IN GENERAL I THINK EVERYTHING WENT WELL . ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO WE HAD THE BROWARD MOBILITY EVENTS PROGRAM KNOWN AS THE MAP PUBLIC MEETING AT THE LIBRARY. THIS WAS TO DISCUSS THE HILLSBORO ROAD ROUNDABOUT SIDEWALKS, BIKE PATHS. THE PROJECT WAS SUPPORTED BY THOSE RESIDENTS THAT CAME TO LEARN ABOUT HOW THE CHANGES IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY WHAT THE ROUNDABOUT WILL TAKE PLACE. THERE WERE SOME ADDITIONAL CONCERNS AND I KNOW THAT ALEX WAS THERE AND GOT TONS OF EMAILS AND REQUESTS REGARDING POSSIBLY ADDING AOUND ABOUT WITH THE TRAFFIC LIGHT OR SOME OTHER COMMON DEBATES AT THE INTERSECTION OF HILLSBOROUGH AND PARKSIDE. IT DIDN'T IRONICALLY THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT THE NIGHT AFTER THE MEETING AS RESIDENTS WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT AND THEY ARE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE COMMISSION TO HAVE SOME SORT OF CROSSWALK SIGNAL SOMEWHERE THAT WOULD ALLOW KIDS OR FAMILIES TO CROSS FROM NORTH HILLSBORO TO SOUTH OR SOUTH TO NORTH.

SOMEWHERE AROUND THE PARK. I KNOW AGAIN WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT MY ONLY REQUEST FOR THIS IS JUST AS LONG AS WE CAN STAY ON TOP OF THAT THERE WAS SOME REQUESTS THAT WERE MADE AS LONG

AS WE CAN GET CONTINUED UPDATES. >> ALEX IS TOUCHING BASE WITH

THE COUNTY ON THIS. >> WE DOING A PROCLAMATION IN A FEW MOMENTS THIS IS SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH AND I JUST WANT TO PIGGYBACK ON THIS ONE SECOND AND SHARE WITH YOU THAT THERE IS A PILOT TEST THAT BROWARD BEHAVIOR HEALTH IS DOING.

WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO HELP CIRCUMVENT THAT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

ANOTHER ISSUE REGARDING TRAFFI . I GOT AN EMAIL ABOUT CROSSING ON HOLMBERG ROAD BY THE CIRCLE. THERE IS NO CROSSWALK THAT IS THERE.

CURRENTLY IF YOU'RE GOING TO CROSS AND KIDS ARE GOING TO SCHOOL THEY HAVE TO GO FURTHER WEST THAN STAY ON THE EAST SIDE SO AGAIN IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COUNTY IS LOOKING AT TO SEE WHETHER WE CAN BETTER CROSSWALK THERE AND WHAT IS ENTAILED. AGAIN SOME OF THE KIDS ARE NOT NECESSARILY GOING ALL THE WAY WEST. IT COULD BE A POTENTIAL CHALLENGE. LAST WEEK I WAS IN ORLANDO FLORIDA.

PART OF THE MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE POLICY COMMITTEE. INTERESTING WE HAD A PRESENTATION BY THE FLORIDA GAMING CONTROL COMMISSION ABOUT ESTABLISHMENTS THAT ARE CONDUCTING ILLEGAL GAMBLING. I DON'T THINK PREVALENT IN PARKLAND BUT THERE ARE PARKS AND RESIDENTS THAT GO INTO OTHER CITIES THAT VISIT THESE ESTABLISHMENTS AND AGAIN

[00:10:01]

THERE'S A REGULATION OF HOW MANY TIMES YOU NEED TO BE A WINNER FROM THE STATE.

THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT DO IT ILLEGALLY. THEY TAKE THE MONEY AND EVEN IF YOU WHEN IT'S HARD TO COLLECT. JUST SOME OF THE POLICIES THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING.

ILLEGAL NOTICE WITH VARIANCES AND LAND USE. IT ESTABLISHES A QUORUM WITH A RECORD FOR A CODE VIOLATION PUBLIC RECORD EXEMPTIONS FOR THE CITY CLERK OR ELECTION OFFICERS WHICH IS MORE OFTEN EXEMPTIONS FOR OTHER MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES.

WEIGHT A CONVERSATION WITH NANCY ABOUT WHERE WE STAND AND THE THOUGHTS PROCESS.

WE SHOULD BE EXEMPT FROM PUBLIC RECORDS IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T LIKE WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY THEY KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE. CYBER SECURITY AS WELL AS SALE OF TOBACCO TO PRODUCTS AND NICOTINE PRODUCTS IN YOURSCHOOL PROPERTY . THIS COMING WEEK IS LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE WEEK FOR THE HOUSE. I DID A REPRESENTATIVE AND TRUSTEE AND SHE'S GONNA REPORT BACK. I WANT TO ADDRESS ANY POTENTIAL IMPACTS WHICH IS SB 102.

IT'S THE LIVE LOCAL ACT. UNTIL THEY CAN CHANGE THEIR CODE AS AN EXAMPLE UNDER THE CURRENT ACT IF A DEVELOPER WANTED TO COME IN AND HAVE A DENSITY THEY QUALIFY.

POTENTIALLY THEY COULD HAVE THE HIGHEST DENSITY THAT OUR MUNICIPALITY OFFERS.

EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY BE IN A THREE OR ONE ZONE IT CAN TURN AROUND AND SAY THE HIGHEST THEY

OFFER IS SIX AND ONE AND WE BUILT SIX AND ONE. >> I WOULD SECOND THAT.

>> ANTHONY YOU HAVE YOUR WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU. >> ONTO TIMBER 20 DOCTOR LICATA WILL BE OUR GUEST SPEAKER. BY THE WAY THANK YOU FOR MY SOCKS. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO ATTEND AND AGAIN I WANT TO THANK THE MAYOR FOR ATTENDING OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING ON MY BEHALF SO THANK YOU MAYOR.

FINALLY I WANT TO WISH THOSE THAT ARE OBSERVING ROSH HASHANAH A HAPPY AND SWEET NEW

YEAR. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH COMMISSIONER MAYERSOHN.

COMMISSIONER ISROW?>> THANK YOU MAYOR. I'VE BEEN LOW-KEY LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS RECOVERINGFROM A MEDICAL PROCEDURE SO I'VE BEEN OUT OF COMMISSION .

NO PUN INTENDED BUT I DO WANT TO WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY NEW YEAR'S AS WELL FOR THOSE THAT CELEBRATE. HOPEFULLY WE CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS YEAR BETTER THAN THE YEAR PRIOR. WHAT I WILL SAY IS IT IS ODD THAT SEPTEMBER 11 IS NOW 22 YEARS REMOVED BUT IT DOES BEAR REPEATING THAT FOR THE LOSS AND HORROR THAT CAME WITH IT THERE WAS IN MY OPINION A SILVER LINING OF A TIME WHERE THERE WAS A TRUE UNITY OF THIS COUNTRY PUTTING ASIDE THEIR DIFFERENCES AND WHATEVER POLITICAL BELIEFS, WHATEVER IT MAY BE. I THINK FROM WHEN WE HAVE TO SAY IN REMEMBERING SOMETHING THAT WAS TO BE KEPT IN MIND OUR COUNTRY BEING PULLED APART AT THE SEAMS. I WOULD HOPE THAT WE CAN USE THAT AS A REMINDER REMEMBER THAT IT IS POSSIBLE AND IT SHOULDN'T REQUIRE CATASTROPHIC MOMENTS TO DO THAT.I WOULD URGE PEOPLE TO KEEP THAT AND SURE THAT MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE HOPEFULLY YOU CAN BRING SOMETHING GOOD OUT OF SOMETHING

BAD. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER ISROW.

VICE MAYOR BREYER? >> JUST A FEW COMMENTS. I WANT TO EXPRESS OUR CONDOLENCES TO THE POWERS FAMILY, TOM POWERS RECENTLY PASSED AWAY WHO HAD A LONG CAREER OF SERVICE TO THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS. ALSO TO THE BROWARD COUNTY COMMUNITY TO THE REPUBLICAN CLUB WORK. I ALSO WANT TO WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY AND SWEET HEALTHY NEW YEAR. IN ADDITION TO SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE CANNOT TALK ABOUTENOUGH .

KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED AND THERE IS HOPE AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF RESOURCES IN THE CITY. IT IS ALSO KICKING OFF THE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH SO I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AT

[00:15:02]

IF YOU COULD RELAY BACK TO YOUR ENTIRE STAFF THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOUARE DOING AND PUTTING YOUR LIVES ON THE LINE TO PROTECT US . I ATTENDED THE SCHOOL BOARD OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE MEETING TODAY. MOVING FORWARD AT SOME INTERESTING INITIATIVES TRYING TO ADDRESS PORTABLE CLASSROOMS AT DIFFERENT FACILITIES IN THE COUNTY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ANOTE . I RECENTLY GOT A TEXT FROM A FAMILY FRIEND THAT LIVES OUTSIDE OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND WHO IS DEALING WITH SOME CHALLENGES WITH THEIR CITY WITH WORKING WITH LOCAL CITY OFFICIALS, THE SCHOOL BOARD ON TRYING TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS. THE REASON SHE REACHED OUT TO ME IS BECAUSE FROM FAR SHE HAS SEEN HOW WELL OUR COMMISSION AND OUR CITY MANAGER AND STAFF WORK WITH OUR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS OR SOME OF THE LOCAL SCHOOLS. WHY CAN EVERYONE DO IT LIKE PARKLAND DOES? IT'S A COMPLIMENT TO US AND CERTAINLY OUR WORK DOESN'T GO

UNNOTICED. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH VICE MAYOR BREYER.

I DON'T HAVE TOO MUCH TO ADD BUT OBVIOUSLY WITH SCHOOL STARTING IT'S GREAT.

I HAD THE PLEASURE OF VISITING MSD, WEST GLADES ANDPARK TRAILS .

WHILE HAVING FOUR KIDS IN BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOLS BECAUSE WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE.

IT GIVES ME THE PLEASURE OF SEEING SCHOOLS ON THE DAY TODAY.

IT'S GREAT TO SEE SCHOOL STARTED IN IT NEXT NICE TO HAVE CLASS BACK AND SCHEDULE.

I KNOW YOU LIKE HAVING THE SUMMER OFF BUT TRUST ME IT'S BETTER FOR US AS PARENTS THAT YOU GET SOME STRUCTURE AND SOME OF YOUR ENERGY OUT WITHSOMEONE ELSE.

WHEN YOU COME HOME TO US YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT LESS ENERGY. IT'S GREAT TO SEE SCHOOL STARTING WITHOUT A HITCH WHICH IS GREAT. IT'S A TESTAMENT TO OUR TEACHERS, ARBITRATORS AND PRINCIPLES. IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS EVERYBODY WANTS TO MOVE HERE. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO THOSE THAT CELEBRATE THIS COMING FRIDAY.

[6. Proclamations and Recognitions]

>> WE HAVE THE TENNIS SUPERSTARS. THIS IS GREAT TIMING.

JUST US OPEN GOT FINISHED. HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE ONE OF YOU GUYS THERE ONE DAY.

THEY PUT IN THE TRAINING AND STUDIED THE STRATEGIES OF THEIR OPPONENTS AND HONE THEIR SKILLS ON THE COURT. THE RESULT OF THAT HARD WORK IS THE 12 AND UNDER FLORIDA STATE CHAMPIONS FROM ROB NICHOLS TENNIS ACADEMY AT THE PARKLAND TENNIS CENTER ADEQUATELY PARKED. THEY ARE WITH US TODAY. THE 12 AND UNDER TEAM AND PLOT OFF, LEO LABELLA, ETHAN NICHOLS AND LEVI BECKER STARTED COMPETING IN FEBRUARY 22.

THEY PLAYED MOST WEEKENDS UNTIL APRIL OF THIS YEAR IN WELLINGTON, WEST PALM BEACH AND BOCA RATON. THIS SPRING THE TEAM WHEN THE PLAYOFFS IN THE UNITED STATES TENNIS ASSOCIATION.12 AND UNDER DIVISION. THEY QUALIFY FOR THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN ORLANDO. THE TEAM WON AGAINST WILMINGTON POLO CLUB IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL. COACH ROB NICHOLS WHO IS A GOOD TENNIS PLAYER ON HIS OWN EVEN

[00:20:10]

HOPEFULLY THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CARRY ON THROUGHOUT YOUR LIVES.

PROBABLY REPRESENTING PARKLAND TENNIS CENTER THE ROB NICHOLS TENNIS ACADEMY AND THE CITY OF PARKLAND. WE WISH THE BEST OF THIS TEAM WHICH WILL REPRESENT THE STATE OF FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS DECEMBER. ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND CITY COMMISSION, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FLORIDA STATE JUNIOR TEAM TENNIS CHAMPIONS. [APPLAUSE] THE CITY OF PARKLAND CITY COMMISSION IS FIRMLY COMMITTED TO RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT SUICIDE PREVENTION IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND AND BROWARD COUNTY.MORE THAN 45,000 AMERICANS DIED BY SUICIDE EACH YEAR.

ACCORDING TO THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION. IN FLORIDA A PERSON DIES BY SUICIDE EVERY TWO HOURS ON AVERAGE. SUICIDES IN FLORIDA FAR OUTNUMBER HOMICIDES. SUICIDE IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS AGES 10 TO 24. IT IS CRITICAL TO RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS OF DEPRESSION THAT MADE LEAD TO THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE INCLUDING SPEAKING ABOUT WANTING TODAY, FEELINGS OF ISOLATION OR HOPELESSNESS, INCREASED DRUG OR ALCOHOL AND SEVERE MOOD SWINGS. IT IS CRITICAL TO RECOGNIZE THE BEST METHODS TO PREVENT SUICIDE WHEN A PERSON IS IN CRISIS. ASK IF THIS PERSON IS THINKING OF TAKING THEIR LIFE, KEEPING

THEM SAFE AND REMOVE THEIR ACCESS TO LEGAL MEANS. >> THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF BROWARD COUNTY HAVE PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT LEADERSHIP IN SUICIDE PREVENTION.

THE FLORIDA CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS IS PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT LEADERSHIP IN SUICIDE PREVENTION THROUGH COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND PROGRAMMING.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT I MAYOR RICH WALKER AND THE CITY OF PARKLAND CITY COMMISSION HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER 2023 IS NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH.

[00:25:36]

>> BRIEFLY I WANT TO THANK THE MAYOR AND THE COMMISSION FOR RECOGNIZING SEPTEMBER AND ISSUING THIS PROCLAMATION. THIS IS ON BEHALF OF THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS AND THE ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. IT'S ALSO TO MENTION.

SUICIDE IS SOMETHING THAT, WHEN SOMEONE DECIDES THEY WILL TAKE THEIR LIFE THAT DECISION WILL BE MADE IN LITTLE AS 10 MINUTES. WHEN YOU RECOGNIZE THAT SOMEONE IS IN DISTRESS DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK THEM IF THEY ARE CONSIDERING TAKING THEIR LIFE.

MOST OF ALL MAKE SURE THAT YOU REMOVE LEGAL KNESPECIALLY FIREARMS BECAUSE A FIREARM IS THE MOST LEGAL METHOD. IT WILL HAVE A SEMINAR COMING UP ON THE 18TH AND THE 23RD.

WE HAVE AN EVENTS CALENDAR AND THE DATES ARE THE 18TH AND THE 23RD.

ONE IS AWEBINAR . THEY OFFER LOTS OF GOOD INFORMATION AND TAKING

QUESTIONS IF SOMEONE IS INTERESTED. >> IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED THESE ARE THE INFORMATION HANDOUTS FROM THE ORGANIZATION. NOW WE HAVE A PRESENTATION BY

[7. Presentation]

THE BROWARD COUNTY TRANSPORTATION. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS. AS WELL AS EVERYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM.

MY NAME IS COREY CARR FLYER AGAIN I AM THE NEW TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR FOR BROWARD COUNTY. STARTED BACK IN FEBRUARY AND I HAVE BEEN HERE A LITTLE OVER SIX MONTHS.

I AM NEW TO BROWARD COUNTY AS WELL. I CAME FROM WASHINGTON DC FROM THE METRO SYSTEM THERE. I'M SO GLAD TO BE HERE.I AM EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT FOR TWO REASONS. FIRST, I'M EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU THE PRESENTATION TODAY THAT WILL THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR BROWARD COUNTY AND SECONDLY MY HUSBAND AND I ARE IN THE RESIDENCE OF PARKLAND. [APPLAUSE] WE MOVED HERE IN JULY 5.THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US HERE.I'M JOINED BY MY COLLEAGUE LEN BERMAN AND ELAINE WHO IS HERE WITH US ALSO HELPING WITH THE ARRANGEMENTS AND TAKING NOTES.

WITH THAT SAID I WOULD LIKE TO JUST WALK YOU THROUGH THE PRESENTATION.

I'M VERY AWARE THAT I HAVE 10 MINUTES. I WILL HONOR THAT TIME BECAUSE

I'M THANKFUL THAT YOU LET US COME AND TALK TO YOU. >> THE PRIMO PLAN IS SOMETHING THAT THE STRATEGY IS TO PROVIDE MOBILITY FOR THE COUNTY. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF GOALS THAT WE HAVE. FIRST WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE INTEGRATE AND SERVE THE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE LOCATED HERE IN BROWARD COUNTY. WE WANT TO PROVIDE MOBILITY FOR EVERYONE. WE WANT TO IMPLEMENT EQUITABLE SOLUTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE. WE WANT TO BE GOOD ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDS AND MAKE SURE WE PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE PROVIDE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BUSINESS IS LOCATED HERE IN BROWARD.

[00:30:08]

AND THEN WE'VE BEEN AROUND THE COUNTY. WE ALSO GET FEEDBACK.

>> OUR PREMIUM SERVICE IS GOING TO REFLECT FORMULA TO TRANTRANSIT.

I'M GOING TO SPEND A MINUTE OR TWO ON THE SLIDE BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE ONES THAT ARE MORE INTERESTING IN THE DECK. SOME FOLKS HERE IN THE ROOM MAY COME FROM CITIES WHERE THEY HAVE THE FULL MONTY IN TERMS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. THE COMMUTER RAIL LOOKS A LOT LIKE BRIGHT LINE IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THOSE TWO SERVICES.

BRIGHT LINE IS MORE OF INTERCITY RAIL WHICH IS WHAT WE CALL IT IN THE INDUSTRY.

IT'S THE LONG HAUL THEY GO FURTHER DISTANCES. KIND OF LIKE MR. ROGERS TROLLEY IF YOU REMEMBER THE SHOW I WAS A BIG FAN BACK IN THE DAY. IT'S KIND OF A VEHICLE LIKE THAT. WITH THE BUS TRANSIT IT'S A LONGER BUS AND ARTICULATED THE SO THEY CAN CARRY MORE PEOPLE. FROM A COMMUTER RAIL PERSPECTIVE WE ALREADY HAVE THE

[00:35:08]

IF YOU'VE EVER GOTTEN STOPPED ON BROWARD BOULEVARD WHEN THE TO FORT LAUDERDALE ANY POINT IN TIME. THAT RAILROAD THAT STOPS YOU IS WHERE WE WILL BE WORKING.THE LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT IS GOOD TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR US WHEREAS THAT SHOULDN'T BE AS COSTLY. LET ME SHARE THE PLAN. HERE IS A MAP OF OUR EXISTING SERVICE. THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION HELPS US PROVIDE THAT SERVICE. WE HAVE OUR CREMATOR SHUTTLE. THE SERVICE IS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. WE WILL HAVE 23.3 MILES OF LIGHT RAIL.

THIS IS WHAT THE PRIMO NETWORK LOOKS LIKE WITHOUT THE OTHER STUFF.

AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S COLOR-CODED THERE. THE YELLOW LINE IS THE COMMUTER RAIL SERVICE. WE ARE STARTING OFF IN THE SOUTH WITH THREE STATION.

HOLLYWOOD AT THE AIRPORT AND ALSO AT BROWARD HEALTH. THAT WILL BE THE FIRST SERVICE THAT WE OFFER ON THE COMMUTER RAIL. THAT WILL OPEN SOMETIME IN 2027 WHICH IS THE ANTICIPATED OPENING DATE. THEN WE WILL FIGURE OUT HOW TO CROSS THE NEW RIVER AND HEADED NORTH. THE SERVICE WILL GO INTO MIAMI AND WE ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH OUR COLLEAGUES IN MIAMI-DADE AT THEIR FIVE STATIONS ALONG WITH THAT. IT WILL BE EXCITING WHEN WE HAVE THAT UP AND RUNNING.

THE GREEN IS THE HIGH-FREQUENCY BUS SERVICE AND THAT'S COMPLEMENTING OUR TRANSIT SERVICE. THE TRANSIT SERVICE WILL BE LOCATED IN THE BLUE WITH THOSE CORE DOORS. WE ALSO HAVE THE LIGHT RAIL AT WHICH IS THAT SALMON PINK COLOR. IT LOOKS PINK SOME DAYS OTHER DAYS IT MAY LOOK SALMON.

THAT SERVICE STARTS AT THE AIRPORT AND CONVENTION CENTER. THE COST HAS CREEPED UP.

THIS IS OUR AIRPORT SEE PART IN CONNECTION CENTER THIS IS 3 MILES WHICH IS THE FIRST LEG OF OUR LIGHT RAIL SERVICE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY GO WEST.AND THEN THIS IS THE FULL SERVICE WHEN IT'S UP AND RUNNING. THE DOTTED LINES REPRESENT COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND SUNRISE. GIVEN WHERE WE ARE WITH FUNDING WE ARE STILL WORKING OUT TO SEE THE DISC IN A RIDE TO THE LEVEL OF THE INITIAL INVESTMENT BOTH OF THE COMMERCIALS ARE GOOD FROM A RIDERSHIP PERSPECTIVES BUT COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD JUST HAS A LOT MORE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. HERE IS EVERYTHING COMING TOGETHER.

[00:40:11]

THIS IS A 15 YEAR INITIATIVE. WE'RE STARTING WITH A COMMUTER RAIL AND WILL WRAP UP ON SUNRISE BOULEVARD WITH OUR BUS RAPID TRANSIT SERVICE. THIS IS WHAT THE HIGH-FREQUENCY SERVICE LOOKS LIKE STARTING IN 2026. I'M WRAPPING UP ON DIXIE HIGHWAY. SUMMARY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TIME TO ALLOW US TO SHARE THIS GOOD NEWS WITH YOU. AGAIN IS 200 MILES OF NEW PREVIA IN TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. THEY'RE DOING SOME OF THESE SELF DRIVING CARS FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. WILL THERE BE ANY CONSIDERATION ADDING TO THE FLEET.

>> IS A GREAT QUESTION THANK YOU FOR ASKING. OUR COMMISSION IS LOOK AT INNOVATION THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. THEY ARE DOING THAT 15 YEARS IN COMMUTER AND TECHNOLOGY WHICH IS A LIFETIME. A LOT OF THINGS CAN CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN SO WE ARE KEEPING THE OPTIONS ON THE TABLE.

[00:45:03]

STATING THE PERCENTAGE CHANGE BY WHICH THE MILEAGE RATE EXCEEDS THE ROLLBACK STATE AS COMPUTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 200 POINT 65. ITEM FINALLY ITEMS 2023 ? 14.

ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET. THIS THE FIRST READING.

ENDURANCE OF THE CITY OF COMMISSION OF CITY OF PARKLAND FLORIDA ADOPTING A BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2023 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2024.ROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEPARABILITY AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THE PROPOSED OPERATING MILLAGE RATE BEFORE YOU IS 4.2979 WHICH IS 9.07% MORE THAN THE ROLLBACK RATE OF 3.94 CALCULATED PURSUANT TO THE FLORIDA LAW WHICH IS CHARACTERIZED UNDER FLORIDA LAW AS THE PERCENTAGE INCREASE IN PROPERTY TAXES PROPOSED TO BE ADOPTED. MR. JOHNSON?

>> THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS.

I'M CHRIS JOHNSON THE FINANCE DIRECTOR. TONIGHT WE ARE AT THE FOURTH STEP OF OUR BUDGET PROCESS. THE ORDINANCE IS HERE WITH THE FINAL READING FOR FIRE AND SOLID WASTE. THE NEXT MEETING NEXT WEDNESDAY AT 6:00 WILL BE THE FINAL

HEARING FOR THAT MILLAGE AND BUDGET. >> DISAGREES 2024 BUDGET IS BALANCED BASED ON A PROPERTY VALUE OF ABOUT $7.5 BILLION WHICH IS OVER A 14% INCREASE.

OF THAT $335 MILLION WAS PATTRIBUTED TO THE NEW CONSTRUCTION AND APPROXIMATELY $600 MILLION WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE EXISTING VALUES. THAT ACCOUNTED FOR ABOUT 9% OF OUR INCREASE WHICH IS ONE OF THE LOWER ONES IN THE COUNTY. THAT IS DUE TO OVER 80% OF OUR HOMES BEING HOMESTEADED EVERY YEAR. ONCE WE GET TO BUILD OUT HERE VERY SHORTLY AS MORE AND MORE PROPERTIES BECOME PART OF THE CITY IT WILL BE OUR TARGET GROWTH FORECASTING AS WE GO FORWARD. IT WILL BE A 3% GAP.

IT WOULD RESULT IN AN INCREASE OF JUST UNDER $3.8 MILLION WITH AD VALOREM TAXES.

THE ROLLBACK RATE IS 3.9405. IT WILL REQUIRE A 4/5 VOTE. >> YES MR. JOHNSON THAT WOULD

BE APPLICABLE TO THE SECOND ORDINANCE NEXT WEEK. >> THIS YEAR'S FIRE ASSESSMENT IS $298.70. THIS WAS YET GIVEN DIRECTION OF THE PREVIOUS PLANNING SESSION.

THIS IS BASED ON A YEARLY INCREASE WITH PARKLAND FIRE CONTRACTS WHICH IS ABOUT 3% THIS YEAR. IT INCLUDES THE INCREASE AND ALSO THE ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL ADDED TO 97 WITH HIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. HERE IS JUST A GRAPH OF HOW IT PLAYS OUT OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS STARTING BACK IN 2015 WHEN WE WERE $210 PER UNIT.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE INCREASED IT INCREMENTALLY. WE DID A RATE STUDY LAST YEAR AS YOU WILL REMEMBER. WE ARE WELL BELOW THE LEGAL ASSESSMENT OF ABOUT $375,000 THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY CHARGE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024. THIS YEAR IT INCREASES ABOUT

[00:50:05]

THIS IS A STRAIGHT PASS-THROUGH BASED ON THOSE CONTRACTUAL TERMS. THIS IS THE FINAL STEP WITH A FOREIGN HALF YOUR PROCESS. WE HAD THE FIRST READING BACK IN MAY AND JUNE THAT WERE PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.THE INITIAL RATE RESOLUTION WAS PASSED AND THE MEETING BACK IN JULY. ACROSS THE VERY SURFACE DISTRICTS THAT ARE LISTED THERE PERHAPS THE CITY WILL COLLECT APPROXIMATELY $500,000 IN SPECIAL REVENUE. BASED ON CREATING THIS ASSESSMENT FUND THESE FUNDS WILL BE LEGALLY SEPARATE. THEY WILL NOT BE COMMINGLED WITH ANY GENERAL FUND OR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTFUND . BASED ON THE CURRENT RATE WE WERE ABLE TO BALANCE THIS BUDGET. AS WE APPROACH THE BUILDUP AND THE AD VALOREM GROWTH IS HEREBY ABOUT 30% EACH YEAR POSSIBLY IN FISCAL YEAR 2026 R INCREASES MAY EXCEED JUST FROM EXISTING VALUES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE EVERYONE AWARE THAT STARTING IN FY 26 IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WE WOULD BE INCREMENTAL WITH MILITARY INCREASES KEEP UP WITH THOSE ESCALATING COSTS. JUST KIND OF A FRAME OF REFERENCE AS OF RIGHT NOW WITH AN INCREASE OF ABOUT .1 WOULD EQUATE TO ABOUT $700,000. AS WE SAID PREVIOUSLY THESE DECISIONS AND DISCUSSIONS WILL BE HAD AT FUTURE STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSIONS.

ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT FOR FURTHER RESIDENTS. HOW MUCH OF YOUR TAX BILL DOES JUST CITY ACTUALLY RECEIVED? IT'S A COMMON MISCONCEPTION THAT THE TAXES GO TO THE CITY OF PARKLAND. THERE IS A PIE THAT BREAKS UP ABOUT SEVEN ENTITIES THAT MAKE UP WHERE YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE GOING TO. THE CITY OF PARKLAND IS ONLY ABOUT ONE FOURTH OF THAT PIE. AS YOU CAN SEE THE SCHOOL BOARD IN BROWARD COUNTY MAKES UP TWO THIRD OF THAT PIE WHICH IS 65% AND THEN YOU HAVE THE HOSPITAL DISTRICTS WHICH IS 8% AND THEN A FEW OTHER SMALL DISTRICTS THAT GET A PIECE OF YOUR TAX BILL.

JUST AS A BASIS OF COMPARISON WITH SOME OF OUR OTHER NEIGHBORING CITIES YOU CAN SEE HERE IN PARKLAND THAT WE HAVE THE LOWEST MILITARY AMONGST US BY APPROXIMATELY TWO WHOLE MILS. TO EQUATE THAT WITH THE AVERAGE HOME VALUE OF ABOUT $630,000 THAT TAKE TAXPAYER WOULD ABOUT $1200 MORE IN TAXES IN CORAL SPRINGS AND OVER $2000 MORE IN MARTA OR TAMARAC. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE DO HAVE ONE OF THE LOWEST TAX RATES IN BROWARD COUNTY. A FEW OF THE GENERAL FUND HIGHLIGHTS I WILL JUST GO THROUGH THESE QUICK. THESE WERE MENTIONED IN JULY AND AUGUST.

WE CREATE THREE NEW FULL-TIME POSITION ELITE PROGRAM SPECIALIST THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY NOMINATED . THE TECHNICIAN FOR THE STORMWATER DUTIES AND WE WILL ALSO ADD AN IRRIGATION TECHNICIAN . EMPLOYEES WILL RECEIVE A COST-OF-LIVING INCREASE OF 5% THIS YEAR TO KEEP UP WITH THE ESCALATING CPI THAT IS RAMPANT NATIONWIDE. THIS IS NOT A TRADITIONAL PENSION PLAN SO THE CITY IS NOT SUBJECTED TO ANY UNFUNDED PENSION LIABILITIES THAT OTHER LARGER CITIES MAY HAVE WITH REGARDS TO PENSION OBLIGATIONS. GENERAL INSURANCE IS INCREASING AND WE DID GET NAILED THERE ABOUT 30%. THIS IS WHAT IS WELL KNOWN. THE STABILIZATION RESERVE WHICH

[00:55:06]

DUE TO THE ONGOING ESCALATING COSTS WE ALSO ADD AN ADDITIONAL $1.1 MILLION TO FUND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS TO COVER THE SHORTFALL. THIS IS A SNAPSHOT AND A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO SEE. FROM AN OVERALL OPERATING PERSPECTIVE THE GENERAL FUND OPERATING FUND IS ABOUT 5.8% ABOVE LAST YEAR'S ADAPTIVE BUDGET WAS.

THE LARGEST BUDGET ITEM FOR THIS YEAR IS A CONTINUATION OF THE MULTIYEAR PROJECT FOR THE WEDGE PARK. WE ARE BUDGETING $2 MILLION FOR THE DESIGN AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT WHICH WILL TAKE A FEW YEARS TO GET THE BALL ROLLING AND COMPLETE.

WE WILL HAVE SOME IT SYSTEM REPLACEMENT, BOULEVARD LIGHTING, TRAINING, TREE REMOVALS. ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN ADDED SINCE WE PREVIOUSLY MET WITH $25,000 FOR REKEYING THE LOCKING SYSTEM. THAT GOES HAND-IN-HAND WITH THE CITYWIDE SECURITY UPGRADES THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING RIGHT NOW.

IT GOES HAND-IN-HAND WITH THAT. OUR INFRASTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT , THE TWO ITEMS AGREE AND I MENTIONED AT THE WORKSHOP IN AUGUST THEY WERE ADDED FROM JULY WHICH IS THE LIBERTY PARK PLAYGROUND ON HUNDRED AND $75,000 AND THE FIRE STATION LEARNING SYSTEM REPLACEMENT AT $85,000. THESE INFRASTRUCTURE PLACEMENTS AND ALSO THE EQUIPMENT WE REPLACE HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED INTO OUR REPLACEMENT PLANS AND FISCAL YEAR 2024 WAS THE YEAR TO GET THESE ITEMS REPLACED. THE ONE ITEM HERE ON THE EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT THAT WAS ADDED SINCE JULY AND I MAY MENTION THIS BACK IN AUGUST IS A FIRE EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT.

THAT IS FOR SOME EXTRICATION EQUIPMENT AND SOME OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT THE PARK ON FIRE FOLKS NEED TO KEEP US SAFE. THE REST OF THE CAPITAL PROJECTS ARE YOUR ANXIOUS ROADWAYS. IT EQUATES TO A CAPITAL PLAN OF $31.5 MILLION.

BIG CHUNK OF THIS IS THE WEDGE RESERVE PARK. WITH THAT I WILL TAKE ANY

QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. >> GREAT PRESENTATION THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR KEEPING OUR CITY AND A FANTASTIC FISCAL POSITION. IT ALLOWS US TO KEEP ONE OF THE LOWEST MILLAGE RATES IN BROWARD COUNTY. I JUST WON'T HIT A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS. JUST TO POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS A LITTLE HARDER TO SOME OF THE RESIDENTS. OBVIOUSLY WE UNDERSTAND HOME PRICES HAVE RISEN.

THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY AFFECT OUR BUDGET AS SOME PEOPLE MAY THINK.

THEY GET CAPPED AT A 3% THAT'S AS MUCH AS THEIR PROPERTY TAXES CAN GO UP.

IT AFFECTS THE REVENUE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO COLLECT. THAT 3% WHICH IS THE MAX AS YOU SAID IN YOUR PRESENTATION. IN A FEW YEARS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY PUT US IN A

[01:00:02]

>> ONE ADDITIONAL POINT TO THAT IS IF THE CPI COMES IN AND UNDER 3% THAT'S WHAT THE INCREASE WILL WILL BE. THAT PARTICULAR YEAR THE TAXES INCREASED ABOUT 1.2%.

UNFORTUNATELY WE WILL NOT SEE THE INFLATION BEING LOWERED ANYTIME SOON.

THE FIRE ASSESSMENT FEE THAT WE HAVE STRICTLY USED FOR FIRE SERVICES.

WE ARE ADDING THIS YEAR TO THE STORMWATER FEE. IT CAN ONLY BE USED FOR STORMWATER USAGE. WE HAVE CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IN THE FUTURE WITH MAINTENANCE SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE STORMWATER STAFF.

AGAIN. GOOD STUFF I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT WE HAVE ONE OF THE LOWEST RATES AND WE INTEND TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.

WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE COST INCREASES AND THE WAY OUR CITY IS FOCUSED ON RESIDENTIAL IT DOESN'T ALLOW A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY FOR REVENUE INCREASES.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS? SHOULD I READ THE TITLE TO

VOTE? >> I ALREADY READ THE TITLES BUT YOU CANMENTION THAT WE ARE ON ITEM 10 A AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WANT TO HANDLE THE PUBLIC IF YOU WANT TO OPEN UP

TO EACH ITEM. >> I'M GOING TO GO 10 A. THIS IS THE FIRE ASSESSMENT FEE.

IS THERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE FIRE ASSESSMENT FEE?

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> YOU GUYS KNOW WHERE I AM GOING WITH THIS. I STRONGLY WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT I CONTINUE TO PROMOTE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF WHAT I CALL THE SIMPLIFIED FIRE ASSESSMENT FEE WHICH IS A TIERED PROCESS.

YOU HAVE YOUR FIRE READY SERVICE WHICH IS ONE TEAR. YOU HAVE THE CHARGE FOR BASED UPON WHATEVER THE MATRIX IS THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE ASSESSED BASED UPON THEIR STRUCTURAL VALUES . THEN YOU HAVE THE PERCENTAGE GAP WHICH CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW IS AT $290 PER UNIT. WE STILL HAVE TO FUND FIRE SERVICES IN OUR GENERAL FUND.

TO ME THAT STRUCTURE IS A METHODOLOGY THAT PROVIDES EQUITY, FLEXIBILITY AND FAIRNESS. CURRENTLY IN OUR FIRE ASSESSMENT WE DON'T CHARGE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A STRUCTURE ON YOUR PROPERTY, WE DON'T CHARGE YOU.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR. >> WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND.OLL CALL.

>>.

AND ONE. WE ARE NOW OWNED AGENDA ITEM 10 ? B WHICH IS THE SOLID WASTE ASSESSMENT FEE. WOULD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THAT?

>> I'M HERE TO TALK ON THE BUDGET.> NOT YET. I KNOW WHERE YOU WANT TO GO SO

MAKE SURE YOU I GET YOU ON THE BUDGET. >> THAT IS A SPECIFIC ITEMS

ONLY GET TO THE BUDGET WHICH IS ITEM E I WILL CALL YOU. >> I SMOTION TO APPROVE.

[01:05:21]

>> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ROLL CALL.

UNANIMOUSLY. AGENDA ITEM C. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT FEE. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THAT?

SEEING THEN WE HAVE A MOTION. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ROLL CALL.UNANIMOUSLY.GENDA ITEM D. THIS IS THE MILLAGE RATE ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK ON THE MILLAGE

RATE? SEEING THEN ANYBODY FOR MOTION? >> MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> THE MILLAGE RATE, I THINK THAT WE CAN AGREE THAT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN INCREASE TO HOMEOWNERS ESPECIALLY WITH HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE, CAR INSURANCE.

I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT ELECTRIC USES. THEY'VE GOT $500 BILLS DURING SUMMER WHERE LAST YEAR THEY HAD MAYBE $300 COSTS. EVIDENTLY THERE'S BEEN A HUGE INCREASE IN PERSONAL EXPENDITURES. THIS YEAR MORE THAN ANY YEAR WE HAD A HUGE INCREASE IN AD VALOREM REVENUE THAN WE NORMALLY HAD.

I'VE WRESTLED BACK AND FORTH WITH THE IDEA OF WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?DO WE CONTINUE WITH THE SAME MILLAGE? I KNOW THAT OTHER AGENCIES AND I'VE SPOKEN TO A COUPLE OF THE , BROWARD HEALTH IT HAS REDUCED THEIR MILLAGE THIS YEAR. I KNOW THAT COMMISSIONER EUGENE CAME TO IT IN THE CHAMBER MEETING TALKING ABOUT A STRONG COMPONENT OF WANTING TO REDUCE THE MILLAGE RATE WHICH DIDN'T WORK NECESSARILY FOR THE COUNTY.

I JUST WANT TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS ON A ROLL BACK POSSIBLE RATE.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT ROLLING BACK TO THE 3.9. I'M TALKING ABOUT INITIALLY

DOING THIS IN JULY WITH 4.1350. >> THAT WAS THE APPROXIMATE RATE AT THE TIME.

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. IT'S BASED ON CALCULATIONS BUT THAT WAS OUR BEST GUESS ABOUT

20. >> AND TALKING ABOUT USING THAT AS A RATE TO ROLL BACK TO.

WE DON'T HAVE TO ROLL BACK TO THREE POINT 4.90 OR WHATEVER THE RATE WAS BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT ROLLING BACK TO THAT. LET ME POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS IF I CAN.

IT DOESN'T HURT OUR EXPENDITURES. I POINTED OUT THAT THE REIMBURSEMENT THAT WE GENERATE IS A CONTRACT IT'S NOT A TREND SO WE KNOW WE WILL BE GETTING

ONE POINT. >> HOW MUCH WILL THAT SAVE THE RESIDENCE?

>> EACH RESIDENT IN TOTALITY PROBABLY 102 $110. I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE

OUT WHAT WE CAN GIVE RESIDENTS IN TOTAL. >> I'M SAYING FOR THE AVERAGE

HOMEOWNER. >> ABOUT 100 BUCKS. >> IF WE INVESTED THAT SOMEWHERE OR DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT HAVING AN INDOOR STADIUM.

AGAIN I THINK IT AMOUNTS TO PROBABLY 1.40 $1.5 MILLION IN A REDUCTION.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN THINK OF FROM A MILLAGE RATE.

THERE ARE AREAS THAT WE PROJECTED IN OUR REVENUE THAT I THINK WE'VE UNDER PROJECTED.

>> IT STILL COMES OUT OF THE TOTAL BUDGET? >> IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE

MILLAGE RATE. >> BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP AS PREVENUE GENERATED

[01:10:05]

>> NOT FOR THE GENERAL FUND . >> BUT IT'S STILL A PART OF THE TOTAL.

>> YES BUT NOT PART OF THE GENERAL FUND. >> AND WHEN WE SEE THE LINE

WITH GRANTS AND AIDS WHAT IS THAT COME INTO? >> JUST IN GENERAL I THINK WITHOUT REDUCING EXPENDITURES AND MAYBE THERE MAY BE AN FEW EXPENDITURES HERE OR THERE BUT IN GENERAL I WANT TO GET YOUR THOUSAND FEELINGS. IF WE REDUCE SOMETHING TO ME THAT WOULD BE A COMFORTABLE FACTOR. LIKE THE CELL TOWER USE AT THE CONTRACT PRICE. I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE.

>> I CAN APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND THIS IS GOING TO PAY ME TO SAY.

I DON'T WANT TO LOWER THE MILLAGE RATE JUST TO SAY WE LOWERED THE MILLAGE RATE.

IF WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO SAVE OUR RESIDENTS MONEY THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO.

WE NEED TO DETERMINE THAT THERE IS PROJECT THAT WE ARE WILLING TO CUT.

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES. THAT IS WHERE I MET.

WE WERE PRESENTED WITH A BUDGET HERE TONIGHT THAT TELLS US NEXT YEAR BY THE YEAR AFTER WE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE SHORTFALLS. WE HAVE ONE OF THE LOWEST MILLAGE RATE IN BROWARD COUNTY.

FOR ME TO NOMINALLY CUT THE MILLAGE RATE TO BE ABLE TO SAY WE CUT A MILLAGE RATE IN THE LONG RUN IT DOES OUR RESIDENTS INTO SERVICE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE.

WE HAVE TO PREPARE TODAY FOR AS MUCH AS WE PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE.

FOR ME TO SAY I HAVE TROUBLE LOWERING THE MILLAGE RATE IS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SAY BUT IN THESE TIMES RIGHT NOW WITH THE COSTS THAT ARE BEING INCREASED, IF WE WANT TO HAVE A DISCUSSION AND TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE PROJECT THAT WE ARE PUTTING ON HOLD AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO OUR RESIDENTS AND MAKE A SIGNIFICANT LITERARY I'M HAPPY TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.

WE SHOULD NOT BE USING THE RATE AS A PLOY TO SAY I CUT THE MILLAGE RATE WITHOUT MAKING A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE RECRESIDENCE. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION TO ME A NOMINAL MILLAGE RATE JUST TO SAY WE CUT THE MILLAGE RATE, TO ME THAT'S NOT PART OF IT. I'M GOING TO EITHER DO IT OR AM NOT.

>> I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT DOING IT JUST TO CUT IT FOR THE SAKE OF SAYING A CREDIT.

>> I'M LOOKING AT IT AS IN OUR BUDGET WITHOUT AFFECTING THE EXPENSES THAT WE HAVE SO WE DON'T MAKE ANY CUTS OR TAKE ANY PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE ALLOCATED OUT.I'M LOOKING AT WHAT'S

BEING PRESENTED AS AN EXAMPLE. >> I JUST WANT TO INTERRUPT YOU ON THAT BECAUSE LET'S GO BACK TO THE WEDGE PRESERVED PARK. NEXT WE BUDGETED HOW MUCH?

>> ORIGINALLY A FEW YEARS AGO $22 MILLION. >> ARE WE ANYWHERE REMOTELY

CLOSE TO $22 MILLION WHEN IT ULTIMATELY COMES DOWN? >> NO, $34 MILLION.

NEXT WE HAVE TO FIND $11 MILLION AND WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION AT THIS JUNCTURE TO MAKE ANY CUTS. THE EXTRA MONEY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT I GET IT YOU'RE NOT ACCOUNTED FOR BUT GUESS WHAT, IT'S NOT GONNA BE ENOUGH TO FINISH WEDGE PRESERVED PARK.

>> AGAIN IN PRODUCTION AND HOPEFULLY IT GOES TO THE SALE OF HERON BAY THAT'S ANOTHER $19 MILLION BOX $19 MILLION BUT THAT WAS MONEY. IT WAS NOT EXTRA MONEY WE HAD.

WE USE OUR RESERVES IN THE 19 MILLION DOESN'T GET IS EVEN. IN TWO YEARS WHEN WE SELL THE COMMERCIAL $25 MILLION OR $35 MILLION MAYBE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO ROLL BACK OR GIVE RESIDENTS A REBATE OR WHATEVER IT IS. UNTIL THAT'S DONE WE KNOW THAT WILL HAPPEN. WE DON'T HAVE IT IN OUR COFFERS YET.

[01:15:23]

FOREVER. >> TO ME IT'S BASED UPON WHERE YOU ARE AT FOR THE YEAR.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT MOVING ON NEXT YEAR WHETHER WE RAISE OR LOWER THEM.

>> WE ARE TELL MILLION DOLLARS IN THE HOLE IN THE WEDGE PRESERVED PARK.

>> THERE ARE OPTIONS THAT WE HAD TO GET THAT MONEY. >> THERE WERE STILL $9.5

MILLION SHORT OF WHAT WE NEED TO MAKE UP. >> I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT CURRENTLY FOR THIS YEAR. THAT REVENUE STAFF IS LOOKING TO PUT THAT INTO THE CAPITAL.

>> YOU CANNOT LOOK YOUR TEAR IN MY OPINION. >> WE HAVE PROJECTS ON THE BOOKS FOR THE NEXT TWO OR THREE YEARS.YOU CANNOT LOOK YOUR TEAR AND GUESS WHAT.

WEDGE PRESERVED PARK AT $32 MILLION. GUESS WHAT MAY BE $36 MILLION

NEXT YEAR. COSTS ARE NOT GOING DOWN. >> IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT CUTTING PROJECTS AND DISCUSSING THE MILLAGE RATE I'M HAPPY TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.

I'M NOT GOING TO PUT US IN A FISCAL ISSUE A YEAR DOWN THE LINE KNOWING THAT WE ARE IN A SHORTFALL AS IT STANDS. OUR BUDGET DIRECTOR IS TELLING US IN 2026 WE MAY HAVE TO LOSE OR LOWER THE MILLAGE RATE. I'M NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT A NOMINAL CUT TO THE MILITARY

WITHOUT DISCUSSING CUTTING PROJECTS. >> THAT'S MY OPINION OF

SOMEONE ELSE'S A DIFFERENT OPINION BE HAPPY TO SPEAK UP. >> DID YOU MOVE THE MOTION?

>> NOBODY MOVE THIS MY ITEM? AT THE 4.2979 MILLS? DID ANYONE MOVE THAT?

I MOVING IT. >> I WILL SECOND IT. >> TO THE 4.279 MILLS THAT IS BEEN RECOMMENDED BY OUR STAFF. THAT MILLAGE RATE THAT'S CURRENTLY ON OUR AGENDA.

THE ONE THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR IS THE SAME AND THAT WE ARE HAVING I MOVING THAT RIGHT NOW.

>> I SECOND THAT. I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT IT WILL ALWAYS BE NICE TO TRY TO REDUCE THE RATE BUT I THINK THE MAYOR'S POINTS ARE WELL TAKEN.

THEFACT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO KEEP IT . I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WANTING TO REDUCE IT. WE ARE SEEING THE RISES AND PROPERTY INSURANCE AND CAR

[01:20:21]

WE ARE NOW HEARING FROM OUR STAFF. WE DON'T KEEP THE MILLAGE RATE THE SAME WILL BE IN A BIGGER FINANCIAL CRISIS IN A COUPLE OF YEARS.

I ALSO FIND IT IN CONGRESS THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ROLLING BACK THE MILLAGE RATE WHEN WE

ARE ADDING A STORMWATER ASSESSMENT FEE. >> I APPRECIATE DIALOGUE BUT FOR ME I HAVE TO LOOK AHEAD. CUTTING PROJECTS I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S OFF I'M HAPPY TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. I DON'T WANT TO NOT DO SOME OF THESE PROJECTS BUT IF THINGS ARE THAT BAD THE NOT SOMETHING WE NEED TO DISCUSS.FOR YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M COMING FROM FROM A BUDGETARY PERSPECTIVE. HE HAVE THE FRANCHISE FEE ELECTRIC. 2020 WHEN WE WERE AT $2.1 MILLION.

2023 WE WERE PROJECTED 2.7 MILLION. I WOULD ASSUME THAT IT WOULD BE GOING UP. WE ARE BUDGETED AT $2.3 MILLION.

I THINK TO ME THAT MAYBE A LITTLE MORE CONSERVATIVE. MAYBE WE PROJECT $2.5 MILLION.

THAT'S WHY I'M GOING BACK. IF WE GET 2.8 AND 2.9 WE WILL GET THAT MONEY BACK AND I JUST LOOK AT IT AS IF WE DON'T GIVE THE RESIDENTS ANYTHING AND WE JUST LOOK TO COLLECT FUNDS TO UTILIZE THEN WE ARE NOT DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE AS STEWART'S FINANCIAL STEWARDS OF RESIDENCE MONEY.$10 I AM SEEING WITH A $10 MILLION SHORTFALL ON WHICH PRESERVED PARK.

>> BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET IT BY DOING THIS BUDGET THIS WAY.

WE EITHER HAVE TO GET IT BY INCREASING FUNDS. WE HAVE TO GET IT.

THIS 1.4 1.5 MILLION IS NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO SOLVE THAT ISSUE.

[01:25:21]

IT WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. GO BACK TO THE WITTENBERG IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON WHETHER OR NOT IT'S THE RIGHT TIME TO DO WHAT PRESERVED PARK IF YOU GO TO THE CATEGORICAL ITEMS AND YOU TOOK OUT WHERE THE PROPERTY TAX EXPECTATION IS $31 MILLION.

AND YOU CUT IT BACK TO $29.5 MILLION YOU INCREASE THESE CATEGORICAL'S WHERE I THINK THEY SHOULD BE AT FROM HISTORICAL TRENDING PERSPECTIV .

WE WILL BE BREAKING EVEN AND NOT AFFECTING ANY OF THE EXPENDITURES THAT WE HAVE.

TO ME THAT'S GIVING THE RESIDENTS A LITTLE BIT OF RELIEF.

IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ACCUMULATING FUNDS.WE CAN MAKE A CONSCIOUS EFFORT LIKE WE DID THIS YEAR AND SAY LET'S NOT DO MANY CAPITAL PROJECTS. WE SAVE TWO OR $3 MILLION NEXT YEAR AND THE HEREAFTER AND KEEP GOING AND THAT GETS ALMOST $10 MILLION.

>> THIS GIVES BASED UPON. >> WE CUT BACK ON THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES THAT WE NORMALLY

TAKE. WE DID CUT BACK. >> BUT WE ELECTED NOT TO GO

THROUGH WITH PROJECTS. >> WHICH IS CUTTING BACK. >> WE HAVE SOME OF FROM THE

PUBLIC THAT WHICH IS TO SPEAK. >> NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

>> ANTHONY TIGHT END 11 MIDDLE RUN. 9752.

>> I WAS HERE WHEN THE MILLAGE WAS RAISED. UP TO THIS MILLAGE THAT WE NOW HAVE. THAT WAS A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE.

THERE WAS NO INCREASES FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME PRIOR TO THAT AN INCREASE.

I WAS HERE AND AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE COURSE OF THE FINANCIAL WOES WE WERE HAVING AT THAT TIME WE INITIATED FOR THE FIRST TIME THE FRANCHISE FEE FP AND L FRANCHISE FEE.

EVERYONE THAT USES ELECTRIC IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND PAYS APPROXIMATELY $25 PER MONTH USING THEIR ELECTRICITY BECAUSE OF THE FRANCHISE FRFEE. THE FRANCHISE FEE IS NOT GOING TO BE A PERMANENT THING. ONCE THE ASSESSMENTS GREW AND WE GOT MORE EVALUATIONS AND SOME MORE MONEY BECAUSE OF REASSESSMENTS THEN WE WOULD ELIMINATE THAT FRANCHISE FEE.

THAT IS TO GIVE BACK I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND.

[01:30:01]

MANY CITIES IN BROWARD HAVE IT. IT'S TRUE WE HAVE THE LOWEST BUT WE ALSO HAVE A FRANCHISE FEE. WE SHOULD ELIMINATE THAT FRANCHISE FEE. SPEAK FOR MYSELF BUT I'M SURE MANY OF MY NEIGHBORS WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.

I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT ONE OTHER ITEM AND I'D LIKE TO GO. TO ME THE MILLAGE AND THE

BUDGET ARE ONE OF THE SAME. >> IT IS ONE AND THE SAME AND YOU CAN SPEAK TOGETHER ONCE.

>> THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS I WAS IN GOVERNMENTAL LAW FOR MANY YEARS.

I WON'T GET INTO PARTICULARS BUT, IT WAS MY IMPRESSION THAT WHEN YOU BORROW MONEY FROM A BANK. IT SHOULD BE APPROVED BY THE PEOPLE WITH THE VOTE.

THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN WITH THIS RECENT $20 MILLION THAT YOU BORROWED.

I THINK THAT THAT'S WRONG. I THINK THE PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE ON THAT $20 MILLION.

IT'S ALLOWED WHEN IT'S APPROVED BY THE PEOPLE. I THINK THE CONSTITUTION IS PRETTY CLEAR THAT WHEN YOU ENGAGE IN DEFICIT SPENDING LIKE THAT AND IT'S BACKED BY THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND THEN YOU NEED A REFERENDUM APPROVAL BY THE CITY. RESIDENTS NOT JUST THE CITY COUNCIL.

I'M NOT SAYING THE LOAN IS BAD. I'M NOT SAYING YOU DON'T NED THE MONEY.

YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG. IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH MY OPINION THAT I SUGGEST YOU ASK THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR HIS OPINION.

IT'S A SERIOUS MATTER. >> CAN I ADDRESS ONE THING REGARDING THE FP AND L

FRANCHISE FEE. >> WE INSTITUTED THAT AFTER FEBRUARY 14 BECAUSE WE WANTED TO ENSURE THAT WE HAD THE FUNDING TO SUPPORT SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS AS WELL AS PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE CITY.WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE LANDSCAPE IS GOING TO BE THAT'S WHY IT'S INSTITUTED TO PROTECT THAT SO THAT WE WOULD ENSURE TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTS IS THAT CORRECT?

>> I JUST WANT TO SAY IT WASN'T INTENDED AS A SHORT TERM IT WAS INTENDED AS THAT'S WHERE THAT MONEY IS GOING TO BE EARMARKED FOR AND THAT'S WHY WE MADE THAT DECISION.

>> THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT CLEAR ROLL CALL.

FOR AND ONE. >> 10 ? E THE BUDGET. >> DOES ANYONE ON THE PUBLIC

WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ONE? >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ROLL CALL.

>.

ONE.WHAT'S THE NEXT ITEM IS 10 F. ORDINANCE 2023 ? 01 REDISTRICTING FIRST READING.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND FLORIDA REDISTRICTING THE CITY INTO FOUR CITY COMMISSION DISTRICTS, DRAWN AS NEARLY AS IS PRACTICAL ON AND EQUAL POPULATION BASIS BY CONTIGUOUS BOUNDARIES FOR THE NOVEMBER 2024 AND NOVEMBER 2026 MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS PURSUANT TO CITY CHARTER SECTION 3.02 PROVIDING FOR SEPARABILITY,

COMPLEX AND EFFECTIVE DATE. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS PREET THE MATHER AND I AM HERE FROM OUR BRIDGE CONSULTING. I WILL BE PRESENTING THE PLANS TO YOU. WE WERE HERE IN AUGUST 16 AND PRESENTED PLANS A AND B. THEY WERE BASED ON CENSUS 2020 DATA. REDISTRICTING DATA SAID THAT THE BUREAU OF CENSUS PUBLISHES.

[01:35:07]

WE PILED IT CLANCY. WE LOOKED AT PLAN C AND B AND SAID LET'S EDIT THEM AND BASE THEM ON THE ESTIMATED POPULATION DATA. WE MADE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS AND THE ESTIMATES WERE BASED ON THE NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FROM 2020 ONWARDS AUGUST OF 2023.

THE CURRENT DISTRICTS THAT YOU CAN SEE BASED ON THE 2020 POPULATION DATA.

WE FOUND THAT THE MAXIMUM DEVIATION WHICH IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MOST POPULATED IN THE LEAST POPULATED DISTRICTS WITH 11.55 AND THE LAW REQUIRES IT TO BE UNDER 10%. THESE ARE YOUR CURRENT DISTRICTS AND NOW WHAT WE DO IS SHOW YOU THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS SINCE 2020 TILL AUGUST 2023. YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE NEW DEVELOPMENTS LISTED ON THE TABLE HERE. THERE ARE ABOUT 1262 NEW STRUCTURES. THAT LEADS TO 1400 AND FIVE UNITS.

THE POPULATION ESTIMATED IN THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS IS 2800 AND 35.

NOW THE POPULATION GREW TO 37,500 AND FIVE. THAT MEETS THE IDEAL POPULATION OF THE TARGET POPULATION FOR EACH DISTRICT ALSO INCREASING TO 9376 FOR EACH DISTRICT.

WHAT I'M DOING ON THE SLIDE IS PRESENTING YOU THE DATA WHEN WE USE ONLY THE CENSUS DATA.

YOU CAN SEE 11.55 AND WITH THIS NEW ADDITIONAL DATA THE MAXIMUM DEVIATION WAS STILL OVER 10% WHICH MEANS THAT WE HAD TO CREATE NEW DISTRICTS. IT DID REDUCE TO 11.33 BUT IT WAS LOWERED TO 10%. ON THE SLIDE WE ARE SHOWING YOU THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS.

GLORIA ON THE SLIDE I AM PRESENTING TO YOU PLAN A WHICH WAS REVISED AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE MAXIMUM DEVIATION ON THIS IS UNDER 10%. YOU CAN SEE THAT HIGHLIGHTED.

NOW I PRESENT PLAN B. IN PLAN B THE MAXIMUM DEVIATION IS 8.77%. OUR GOAL HAS BEEN TO KEEP THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE SUBDIVISIONS TOGETHER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

[01:40:20]

NOW HAVING DESCRIBED THESE CHANGES I'M GOING TO SHOW THESE PLANS ON ONE SIDE SO YOU CAN COMPARE AND SEE PLAN A WE HAVE KEPT THE NEIGHBORHOODS SUBDIVISIONS TOGETHER.

THE THREE PLANS THAT ARE OFT OFFERED AND DESCRIBED COMPLY WITH THE DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS

SO NOW IT IS UP TO YOU TO SHOW WHAT WORKS BEST FOR THE CITY. >> THIS IS SOMETHING OUR CHARTER AND I THINK THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE IS GOING THROUGH.

IT HAS TO BE DONE EVERY FOUR YEARS. >> OBVIOUSLY OUR CITY HAS GROWN A LOT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. HOW MUCH GROWTH WILL HAPPEN WHO KNOWS? ANYWAY OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE IS GETTING UNDER 10%.

THAT'S THE MAIN OBJECTIVE. THE THREE OF THESE PLANS TO THAT.

THE ONE THAT PLAN A DOES THAT NO OTHER PLAN DOES IS IT KEEPS EVERY SINGLE COMMUNITY TOGETHER. THAT TO ME IS A HUGE HOMERUN BECAUSE PLAN C WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE EXISTING, THAT DISTRICTING WHEN THAT WAS DONE IT'S BECAUSE I LIVED IN PARKER ISLES. BECAUSE I WAS A COMMISSIONER AT THE TIME WHEN THEY TRIED TO REDISTRICT IT DIDN'T KEEP COMMUNITIES TOGETHER BECAUSE IT CAN'T MOVE A COMMISSIONER OUT OF HIS DISTRICT. THEY GOT CONVOLUTED BECAUSE I LIVED IN PARKER NILES.

I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE QUICK THING ABOUT DISTRICTS. THEY GET TO SEE THAT ON A DAILY BASIS. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE AS YOUR COMMISSIONERS SPREAD OUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY. ANY TALK OF IT BEING DIFFERENT TO ME DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

I LOVE PLAN A BECAUSE IT DOES EVERYTHING WE WANT.T GETS US UNDER THE 10% AND IT'S THE ONLY PLAN THAT KEEPS THE COMMUNITIES TOGETHER. IT'S KIND OF ANNOYING.

IT DIDN'T SEEM FAIR TO PARKLAND GOLF BECAUSE I KNOW BEFORE PARKLAND GOLF WAS DISTRICT 2

AND THREE. >> I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. NUMBER ONE I UNDERSTAND THAT

[01:45:27]

TO TAKE OUR COMMENT FROM THE COMMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ADDRESS THE INCREASING POPULATION THAT MAY NEED NOT BE REFLECTED IN THE CENSUS TO BE UNDER THE 10% IS REALLY GREAT WORK. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT AND SAY THANK YOU.

I WOULD AGREE THAT I WOULD GO FOR THE SAME PURPOSE AND EXPLANATION TO KEEP THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN EACH DISTRICT WHICH IS THE BEST OBJECTIVE WE CAN GET ASIDE FROM THE UNDER

10%. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR DOING THIS.

I ALSO LOOKED AT THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS SINCE 2020. I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND THE MATHEMATICAL RATIONALE BECAUSE FOR SOME YOU ARE DOING 1.5 PEOPLE PER UNIT I UNDERSTAND FOR SOME OF THE 55 AND OVER COMMUNITIES THAT MAY MAKE SENSE BUT IN OTHERS IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S TWO UNITS WERE TWO PEOPLE PER UNIT. SUMMARY 2.5 OUR SUMMER THREE PER UNIT SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE MATHEMATICS BEHIND IT ARE. WHAT YOU ARE SEEING ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA RELEASE WHAT I'M SEEING IS RESIDENTS DON'T KNOW OR UNDERSTAND WHAT DISTRICTS THEY ARE IN. I'M SOMEWHAT OKAY WITH NEIGHBORHOODS.

>> ANY SHIFT THAT THEY WILL MAKE WILL BE A SHIFT THAT'S GOING TO BE DEALING WITH WHEN WE COUNT THE NUMBERS. IF WE MAKE THE DECISION NOW TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES ALTOGETHER

[01:50:21]

IF WE GO WITH PLAN C AND YOU DIVIDE THE COMMUNITIES THEN WHEN THE HOA MEETINGS ARE BEING HAD, YOU WILL HAVE TO COMMISSIONERS SHOWING UP TO ONE HOA MEETING AND YOU WILL HAVE EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR RUNNING INTO PROBLEMS WITH SUNSHINE.

THERE RESIDENTS THAT WERE COMPLAINED TO KEN AND SOME THAT WOULD COMPLAIN TO ME.

EMMA ELIMINATES THE SUNSHINE OF ISSUE AND IT GETS US UNDER THE 10%.

I THINK ADDITIONALLY THE GOAL IS KEEPING THE COMMUNITIES TOGETHER WITH PLAN A SIGH WOULD SUPPORT PLAN A. WAS NOT FACTORED INTO THE ESTIMATE OR THE CALCULATION? I DIDN'T SEE IN THE CALCULATION FOR THE NUMBER SINCE 2020 BUT I KEEP ON SEEING PARKLAND

ROYALE'S WHICH IS A DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS YET TO BE FILLED. >> JOHNSON I AM THE CITY MANAGER FOR THE RECORD. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL PLAT OR NAME THAT BRIAN CAME WITHIN THE

SEASONS COMMUNITY. >> AND I WE ARE DOING PARKLAND RYLAND.

MY ONLY THEORY IS CONFUSING AND TRYING TO AVOID AS MUCH CONFUSION AS POSSIBLE.

IF THAT SOLVES THAT PROBLEM I'M OKAY WITH THAT.IF IT SELLS ASCENSION PROBLEM I'M DEFINITELY OKAY WITH IT. THIS MAP IS SO CLEAN. IT KIND OF SETS UP THE WEDGE IS

THE WEDGE AND HERON BAY. >> PARKLAND VILLAGE IS THE OLD NAME OF PARKLAND RESERVE?

[01:55:19]

I SAW THAT ON THERE TOO. >> THAT IS CORRECT. IF THAT IS THE OVERALL PLAT

NAME. >> AGAIN ONE ADDITIONAL COMMENT IS THAT THE DESIRE TO HAVE THIS EVERY 10 YEARS THE CENSUS IS DONE. I STILL THINK IT GETS BACK TO THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE HAVING TO BRING THAT BEFORE US AND WE DECIDE WHETHER TO PUT IT THE RESIDENCE CAN VOTE BUT THEY WANT TO BE VOTING EVERY FOUR YEARS SO WE COULD BE BACK TO

SQUARE ONE. >> THATWOULD MAKE THIS BALLOT IN NOVEMBER .

I NOTICED A CHANGE THIS BUT IT WON'T EVEN GET ON NOVEMBER'S BALLOT.

INITIALLY I DIDN'T LIKE PLANNING WHEN IT CAME BUT IT WAS REVISED.

I'M DEFINITELY SUPPORTIVE OF PLAN A. WITH THAT BEING SAID. >> DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC

COMMENT?> GO AHEAD COMMISSIONER. >> I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE PLAN A. WE HAVE A MOTION ON A SECOND. ROLL CALL.

>>.

UNANIMOUSLY.>> THINK YOU. >> ITEM 10 G IS RESOLUTION 2023 ? FIVE FOUR.

>> COMMENTS BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. >> WE NEED TO DO THE SHERIFF'S

OFFICE FIRST. >> I SWITCHED IT. COMMENTS BY THE BROWARD

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

SHERIFF'S OFFICE? >> THANK YOU MAYOR. CAPTAIN MICHELLE MCARDLE FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. GOOD EVENING COMMISSION AND CITY MANAGER.

I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PLANS THAT WE HAVE FOR THE HOLY DAYS COMING UP.

WE HAVE AN OPERATIONAL PLAN IN PLACE. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME HIGH VISIBILITY PATROLS. MORE FREQUENT AREA CHECKS AND THE TEMPLE.

JUST IN PREPARATION TO ENSURE EVERYBODY HAS SAFETY AND THEY HAVE A CELEBRATION OF THE NEW YEAR. THAT IS FORTHCOMING. WE CONTINUE TO SEE BURGLARIES TO OUR UNLOCKED VEHICLES. NO WE TALK ABOUT THAT EVERY TIME WE ARE HERE.

PIT REALLY IS HAPPENING. I DON'T WANT TO SAY ALL OVER THE CITY OR IT'S HAPPENING EVERY DAY BUT IT'S HAPPENING ARE GATED COMMUNITIES AND OUR SHOPPING CENTERS.

>> AND IT'S NOT JUST HAPPENING IN PARKLAND. >> CORRECT.

AND IT'S NOT EVEN HAPPENING IN BROWARD COUNTY. IT'S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE WITH THE KEY FOB'S PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN FORGETFUL OR JUST DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO TAKE THEIR KEYS OUT. IT'S NOT CONTRARY TO WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE.

IT'S NOT TO YOUR POINT A SPECIFIC STREET, THE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT OR COMMUNITY.

IT'S EVERYWHERE. WE HAVE TASKFORCES THAT WE STOOD UP TO ADDRESS THIS VERY ISSUE BECAUSE IT DOES CROSS OVER JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES FROM CITY TO CITY, COUNTY TO COUNTY AND EVEN DIFFERENT STATES. IT'S JUST A CRIME TREND THAT WE ARE SEEING BECAUSE IT'S EASY. WHEN CARS ARE UNLOCKED IT'S AN EASY LOW HANGING FRUIT THAT I LIKE TO CALL IT WHERE WE ARE SEEING JUVENILES COMMIT MOST OF THESE CRIME AND IT'S AN EASY

FIX FOR THEM. >> I WRESTLE. SORRY TO KEEP INTERRUPTING YOU.

I WRESTLE WITH THIS CONVERSATION EARLIER. IF EVERYONE LOCKED OUR CARS FOR A FEW WEEKS THAT WOULD HAVE REVOCATONS FOR YEARS BECAUSE PEOPLE WOULDN'T COME HERE ANYMORE. THAT'S WHAT I STRUGGLE WITH. RESIDENCE THAT SAY THIS HAPPENS MANY TIMES IN BSO IS NOT HERE. BSO CAN'T BE EVERYWHERE. TO ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE WHEN YOU DO MAKE AN ARREST NOTHING PROBABLY HAPPENS. THEY KNOW THAT.

HE OPENS THE CAR DOOR THAT'S UNLOCKED. HE DOES WHATEVER WITH IT.

YOU MAKE AN ARREST IF YOU ARE THERE AND THEN THEY GET A SLAP ON THE WRIST.

AND THEY GO DO IT AGAIN. IT'S A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD BUT IT STARTS WITH US.

DOING WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO AND IT'S LOCKING YOUR DOORS. HELP US HELP YOU BY LOCKING YOUR CARS. THIS ISSUE HAS GOT ME VERY AGGRAVATED.

[02:05:09]

>> IF I MAY CAPTAIN YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HELP ME WITH THIS. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A CONTINGENT OF THE HOT BOD IN THE WESTERN PART OF PARKLAND AS WELL.

>> WE HAVE THE ITINERARY AND WE'RE PUTTING IT OUT IN THE OPERATIONAL PLAN.

WE ARE ANTICIPATING THE DAYS THAT WE RECEIVED TRAINING BASED ON THE EVENTS.

I FEEL PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT WE ARE PREPARED. >> I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT YOU ARE PREPARED. YOU ARE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB. I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT YOU ARE MAKING WITH THE COMMUNITY. IT CANNOT BE SAID ENOUGH. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE MEASURES THAT BSO IS TAKING IN THE PINE TREE AND RANCH AREA WHERE THERE AREN'T ANY DELAYS WITH RESPECT TO MONITORING FOR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. IN PLACES LIKE PINETREE AND THE RANCHES WE HAVE TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE CREATIVE. WE'VE DONE OUR WELCOME HOME INITIATIVE I'M SICK SURE YOU'VE SEEN IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA BUT WE ARE OUT ON THE STREETS WELCOMING RESIDENTS HOME FROM THE END OF THEIR DAYS HANDING OUT SOME CRIME PREVENTION TIPS.

WE PROBABLY HANDED OUT ABOUT 200 FLYERS SO THAT'S 200 MARCHESA FIX CONTACTS THAT THEY'VE HAD WITH OUR DEPUTIES. QUICK SOMETIMES WITH A GRAIN OF SALT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE RESIDENT IS SAYING AND WHAT'S NECESSARILY HAPPENING. IF A RESIDENT IS HERE WITH A CRIME I'M GLAD YOU'RE EDUCATING THEM ON WHAT'S BEING DONE AND I'M GLAD YOU ARE OUT THERE.

I THINK OUR RESIDENTS PLAY AN INTEGRAL PART OF HELPING BSO AND THE CITY WITH REGARDS TO PREVENTING CRIME SO I AM GLAD THAT YOU ARE ENGAGING INTO THE EDUCATION CAMPAIGN IS THAT AS THE MAYOR SAID LOCKING YOUR CAR SHOULD BE THE BARE MINIMUM SO WE SHOULD START THERE.

HOPEFULLY THAT WILL TURN THE TIDE. >> WITH RESPECT TO THAT WITH WHAT YOU ARE SEEKING I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO MUCH INTO THAT BUT WE HAVE DEVELOPED LEADS I JUST DON'T WANT TO GET INTO EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT.> MUCH APPRECIATED.

>> GREAT WORK AS ALWAYS. >> ONE WAY THING AND I APOLOGIZE.

ANOTHER ISSUE THAT HAS COME TO LIGHT AND WAS SEEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA IS THAT YOUNGER ADULTS ON BICYCLES.THEY TRAVERSE AND THE ROADWAYS IN THE COMMUNITIES.

WE SEE IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND IT'S VIRTUALLY US HAZARD THAT WE ARE TAKING VERY SERIOUSLY.

[02:10:06]

AT THE END OF THE DAY WE JUST WANT THE KIDS TO BE SAFE. >> BUT YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH

THOSE CHILDREN. >> WE ARE. >> AND YOU ARE CALLING THEIR

PARENTS. >> WE ARE. >> THAT'S ANOTHER FACEBOOK POST TO HEAR. BSO IS NEVER AROUND THEY NEVER DO ANYTHING.

YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH THOSE KIDS AND YOU ARE CALLING THEIR PARENTS.

>> TO THEIR PARENTS REACT? IN A WAY THAT WOULD TELL YOU THAT THEY WILL STOP DOING WHAT

THEY'RE DOING?>> WE GET A MIXED REACTION FROM PARENTS. >> IT IS ONE OF THE BLESSINGS THAT WE HAVE IN PARKLAND THAT WE HAVE SO MANY KIDS. WE HAVE FAMILIES WITH KIDS FROM 2 TO 5 OR MORE. BUT IT'S ONE OF THE BLESSINGS WE HAVE.

THE OTHER PROBLEM WE HAVE AND I KNOWTHE PARKS AND WRECKED DEPARTMENT DO A GREAT JOB .

WHETHER IT'S MIDDLE SCHOOL TO DRIVING A THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF AREAS TO CONGREGATE TO SOCIALIZE. WHEN I WAS A KID GROWING UP WE HAD THE BOWLING ALLEY WE HAD ROLLERSKATING RINGS IS ONE F THE REASONS WE TRIED TO DO THIS PARK SO THAT IT'S NOT PROGRAMMED SO THAT KIDS CAN GO AND PLAY BASKETBALL. THEY HAVE A FIELD TO PLAY BASEBALL THEY CAN PLAY WHATEVER SPORTS. THIS IS A PARK WHERE BUILDING FOR THEM IT ALSO PARENTS HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE A 13-YEAR-OLD.

I CAN ASSURE YOU YOU WILL NEVER CALL ME AND ASK WHAT MY KID IS DOING WRONG.

THAT COMES DOWN TO PARENTS. YOU HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT THEY ARE ALLOWING THEIR KIDS TO DO. WITH LIFE 360 NOW IT'S A NO BRAIN ARE.

ANYTHING MELELSE? >> THAT IS EVERYTHING. >> THANK YOU AGAIN.

>> WE ARE GETTING BACK IN THE YOUTH WITH UNDERAGE KIDS. IS THERE AN UPTICK THAT YOU NOTICED WITH UNDERAGE KIDS USING GOLF CARTS? I DON'T ONE TIME IT WAS JUST A NUISANCE AND I'VE GOTTEN SOME RESPONSE THAT IT SEEMS ESCALATED TOMORROW CHALLENGE

IT. >> THE LAWS HAVE CHANGED FOR SAFETY REASONS.WHEN YOU STOP A JUVENILE ON A GOLF CART THE LAW IS CLEAR IT'S OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE WITHOUT A LICENSE. THAT'S AN ARRESTABLE OFFENSE. I DON'T LIKE TO BE IN THE BUSINESS OF ARRESTING KIDS. CERTAINLY WE ARE GOING TO EDUCATE THEM AND EDUCATE THEIR PARENTS AND SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE. IF IT'S A REPETITIVE THING THAN IT MAY ELEVATE WHAT WE DO AND OUR RESPONSE. GENERALLY SPEAKING LIVE AND

EDUCATING PEOPLE THAT ARE UNDERSTANDING. >> YOU COULD DELETE USER

[02:15:20]

BECAUSE I WANT TO GET MY LICENSE. >> HOA'S HAVE BEEN GREAT WITH US.AS WELL AS COLLABORATIVE TO PUT OUT THAT INFORMATION. IT'S BEEN GOOD TO GET THAT.

>> THEY ARE THE BIGGEST PARTNERS WITH THIS.HEY HAVE JUST AS MUCH IF NOT MORE

CONTROL WITH THE ABILITY TO ENFORCE IT. >> THANK YOU AGAIN UNLESS YOU

[13. Comments by the City Manager]

THAT'S EVERYTHING I HAVE. >> THANK YOU. >> COMMENTS BY THE CITY

MANAGER? >> I WOULD LIKE TO WISH THOSE THAT CELEBRATE A HAPPY NEW YEAR THIS FRIDAY. ALSO JUST TO REITERATE THAT THE FINANCE DIRECTOR MENTIONED THAT THE NEXT MEETING IS OUR SECOND PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE BUDGET WHICH IS AT 6:00.

>> VERY PROUD OF YOU CONGRATULATIONS. THAT'S IT THANK YOU.

>> I NEGLECTED TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ON YOUR CERTIFICATE.

[APPLAUSE] >> I HAD IT WRITTEN DOWN IN MY NOTES.

[14. Comments by the City Attorney]

>> COMMENTS BY THE CITY ATTORNEY QUESTION. >> I HAVE A COUPLE TONIGHT.

CONGRATULATIONS. AS A PRACTICING ATTORNEY THERE'S TIMES THAT COULD BE VERY REWARDING BUT ALSO VERY CHALLENGING. I JUST WANTED TO CONGRATULATE COMMISSIONER CUTLER ON HIS RETIREMENT AFTER A LONG AND SUCCESSFUL LEGAL CAREER.

IT'S A TEAM EFFORT.ONE OF THE KEY COMPONENTS IN THE LIVE LOCAL ACT AFFECTING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IS THE COMPONENT THAT SAYS MULTIFAMILY AND MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL USES MUST BE PERMITTED IN ANY AREAS SO COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL OR MIXED-USE.

THIS IS AFFORDABLE FOR AT LEAST 0 YEARS. THAT GOES AGAINST AND REALLY A LOT OF ZONING CODES THAT WOULD SAY YOU CAN'T HAVE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL FOR EXAMPLE BUT BECAUSE THE CITY, THE CITY OF PARKLAND HAS DESIGNATED LESS THAN 20% OF THE LAND WITHIN ITS JURISDICTION FOR COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL USE TO MITIGATE A LOT OF THOSE IMPACTS.

BECAUSE OF THAT THE ONLY ONES THAT YOU NEED TO AUTHORIZED OUR PROPOSAL MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENTS ONLY IF IT'S MIXED-USE RESIDENTIAL. IN PARKLAND AT LEAST BECAUSE YOUR DESIGNATIONS ARE UNDER 20% IF THERE WAS SOMEONE FOR EXAMPLE THAT WANTED TO DO ONE OF THESE RESIDENIAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT THIS LAW WOULD NOT REQUIRE YOU TO APPROVE IT.

WHAT COMPONENTS WOULD BE NEEDED. WITHOUT BEING SET THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN'T DO AND I'VE ALREADY, THE STAFF AND I HAVE BEEN

[02:20:03]

>> THAT'S WHY YOU ARE OUR CITY ATTORNEY. BOB JUST ASKED YOU TO DO THAT AN HOUR AGO AND YOU ARE READY TO W DITTO.
