BIRTHDAY. >> OKAY, COMMISSIONER BRIERE .

CUTLER. I WANT TO ECHO SOME OF THOSE COMMENTS ARE OBVIOUSLY VERY 14TH IS A TOUGH DAY FOR COMMUNITY, FOR OUR CITY AND STAFF. I WANT TO THANK OUR STAFF BECAUSE IT'S A HEAVY LIFT FOR THEM TO COORDINATE MANY OF THEM ARE RESIDENTS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND LIVE AND WORK IN THE COMMUNITY. IT'S AN EMOTIONAL DAY FOR THEM AS IT IS FOR ALL OF US. I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR ALL THEY DO OF PUTTING THAT TOGETHER. I ECHO COMMISSIONER CUTLER'S COMMENTS THAT BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT OF THIS ANNIVERSARY OUR COMMUNITY IF ANYONE IS IN NEED WHETHER IT'S THE CITY WEBSITE OR REAHING OUT TO EAGLES HAVEN WHICH HAS RESOURCES HERE ON THE LOAN YOU HAVE A COMMUNITY AROUND YOU AND FEEL FREE TO CALL UPON THOSE RESOURCES AS NEEDED. THE CHAMBER POT I FANTASTIC EVENT THIS MORNING AS COMMISSIONER CUTLER SAID. AFTER THE EVENT, I WENT IN MY OFFICE AND SIGNED UP FOR OWNER ALERT ONLY TO FIND OUT I ALREADY SIGNED UP. IT WAS A GOOD PRACTICE ON MY END. I ENCOURAGE ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS AND HOMEOWNERS TO DO THAT.

IT'S A VERY GOOD PROGRAM AND ESSENTIALLY PROVIDES YOU AN ALERT WITHIN 24 HOURS OR LESS THAT SOMEONE HAS TRIED TO FILE SOMETHING WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PROPERTY SEE YOU CAN VERIFY WHETHER IT WAS ACCURATE OR NOT AND AVOIDS A LOT OF TITLE

[00:10:04]

IT'S ALWAYS A FUN EVENT AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE GREAT WEATHER FOR THAT. I KNOW WE ARE DOING A RECOGNITION LATER THIS EVENING BUT I WANT TO THANK THE COMMISSION IS ALWAYS FOR HONORING AND RECOGNIZING BLACK HISTORY MONTH. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MONTH AND BECAUSE IT ISN'T A VERY TO HONOR FREDERICK DOUGLASS AND OTHER BIRTHDAYS THIS MONTH. ABRAHAM LINCOLN INCLUDED. TRANSFER THAT RECOGNITION. WE HAVE CHALLENGER BASEBALL OPENING DAY. PARKLAND A COMING UP.

PLEASE KEEP THOSE DATES ON YOUR CALENDAR AND GO ON TO THE CITY'S WEBSITE AND LOOK AT THE CALENDARS YOU CONTACT THOSE DATES. PARKLAND DAY WAS A WONDERFUL EVENT THAT THE CITY, STAFF AND COMMISSION BROUGHT BACK. WE ARE DOING IT AGAIN THIS YEAR IN THE CHALLENGER BASEBALL IS A WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION AND IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE MORE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, AND SAID AT THE OPENING DAY ACTIVITIES. WITH THAT, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU

VERY MUCH. VICE MAYOR. >> I WENT TO THE CHAMBER MEETING THIS MORNING I WILL SAY WAS A LOVELY EVENT. IT IS NICE TO HEAR MARTY GIVE HIS ONE HOUR INFORMATION IN SEVEN MINUTES. FIVE CUPS OF COFFEE, THREE RED AND TWO DIET COKE .

THEY SHOULD MAKE SURE THEY ARE SIGNED UP AND THE TAX SAVING MEASURES THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE. ESPECIALLY THE FRAUD PROTECTION. AND TAKE SHADOW TO PARKLAND BAGEL. NOT ONLY DO THEY HOST A GREAT BREAKFAST, THERE'S ALSO A RUNNING RIGHT NOW, I BELIEVE MIAMI HERALD OR SENTINEL IS RUNNING THE BEST BAGEL IN BROWARD. IT'S MY FAVORITE BAGEL. FOR EVERYONE ELSE'S, I FEEL LIKE YOU GO OUT THERE AND GIVE THEM SOME LOVE. PERSONALLY I LET THE KIDS WIN.

THAT'S MY STORY AND I'M STICKING TO IT. THOSE KIDS ARE GOOD. AND GETTING YOUNGER. IT'S SCARY. THERE'S A LOT OF EVENTS. I THINK EVERYBODY HAS THEIR WAY OF DEALING WITH EMOTIONAL AND COPING BUT I THINK GETTING TOGETHER IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST WAYS. THE ANNUAL BEACH CLEANUP FOR THE GINA ROSEMAN FOUNDATION IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES OVER THE YEAR.

BRING THE KIDS AND GET EVERYONE INVOLVED. IT'S A GOOD CAUSE FOR DOING GOOD ALSO I KNOW WE HAVE THE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS EVENT AT EAGLES HAVEN WHICH IS ALSO A VERY NICE EVENT THAT BRINGS THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER. KIND OF TAKE A LOOK AT WAS ON THE CALENDAR TO THE EXTENT YOU CAN MAKE IT, SUPPORT A LOT OF THESE I THINK YOU'LL FIND IT'S NOT ONLY HELPFUL TO YOU BUT HELPFUL TO OTHERS AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH VICE MAYOR. OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF THE SAME SENTIMENTS THAT YOU ALL HAVE A VERY 14TH. I CERTAINLY WANT TO THANK COMMISSIONER MAYERSON AND COMMISSIONER CUTLER. ON THE DAY OF FEBRUARY 14, BEING HERE NOW , AND UNDERSTAND WHAT KIND OF INPUT THAT HAD WE APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP IN HELPING THE CITY AND CITY STAFF AND EVERYONE ELSE . IT'S A DIFFICULT TIME. IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED HELP, THERE'S LOTS OF RESOURCES OUT THERE WHETHER IT'S ON OUR WEBSITE, EAGLES HAVEN IS A FANTASTIC RESOURCE THEY CAN GO TO AND GET THE KIND OF HELP THAT YOU MAY NEED. AS A VICE MAYOR SAID AND WE ALL SAID, BEING TOGETHER AND CHECKING ON HER NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS, MAKING SURE EVERYBODY IS IN A GOOD PLACE, THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU CAN DO. OBVIOUSLY IT'S ALWAYS A THRILL TO LISTEN TO MARTY SPEAK. YOU SAID IT BEST. THE GUY GETS SO MUCH INFORMATION AND IS ABLE TO RELAY IT SO QUICKLY IT'S ACTUALLY AMAZING.

THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING TO THAT. TO REITERATE IT, THE BEACH CLEANUP SUNDAY FEBRUARY 11TH ON THE CLOCK TO 12:00 AND EAGLES HAVEN IS ON THE 14TH FROM 12:00 TO 4:00. HAVE A LOT OF CRASS AND DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO THERE.

OBVIOUSLY OUR VENT AT THE PARK IS AT 5:30. I ALSO WENT LAST WEEK TO AN EVENT, REDEFINING SCHOOLS. AND THE SCHOOL BOARD.

[00:15:06]

THAT'S NEW. THE PREVIOUS SUPERINTENDENT DID NOT HAVE THE DESIRE TO ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITIES AND CITY MANAGERS AND THE COMMISSIONS. THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE THAT THE DOCTOR IS ALREADY DOING. I HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN HIM. IT'S A BIG LIFT. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT NEEDS A LOT OF HELP. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO DO. BUT I DO HAVE FAITH THAT HE IS GOING TO PUSH AND PUT THINGS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

IT WILL TAKE TIME . WE ALL HAVE TO BE PATIENT . THE GOOD THING IS, WE CAN CALL HIM, WE CAN EMAIL HIM WITH IDEAS OR QUESTIONS OR WHAT HAVE YOU AND HE ALWAYS GETS BACK. HAVING SEEN TWO OTHER SUPERINTENDENTS SINCE MY TIME HERE ON THE COMMISSION, HIS ABILITY OR WILLINGNESS TO ENGAGE IS CRAZY. YOU WOULD NOT SEE THAT FROM THE PREVIOUS SUPERINTENDENT. KUDOS TO HIM FOR THAT. WITH THAT, WE WILL

>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR COMMISSION . I'M HERE TO PRESENT TO YOU PINETREE STATES HEADWALL DESIGN . A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THIS PRODUCT WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE STORMWATER MASTER PLAN.

SOME PEOPLE TO KNOW WHY YOU ARE TAKING THEM DOWN SO THEY DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE TAKING AWAY SOME OF THE BUFFERS OR VEGETATIVE SCREENING OR WHATEVER.

THEY HAVE NOT EXECUTED AGREEMENT BUT THEY AGREED IN PRINCIPLE FOR GRANTING THE FUTURE TOLD OF ELEMENT ACCESS TO THE HANG VACATES AND ACCESS TO THE AMENITIES.

WE TOOK THE LEAP TO SPEND $25 MILLION OF RESIDENT TAXPAYER FUNDS SO THAT WE CAN CONTROL THE DESTINY OF THE HERON BAY PROPERTY . THE RESIDENCE OF HERON BAY . YOU HAVE A LOT OF BOARD MEMBERS HERE TODAY WANTED US TO TAKE THOSE ACTIONS . WE TOOK THOSE ACTIONS AND WE ARE NOW ON OUR WAY TO GETTING REIMBURSED 19.5 MILLION OF THE 25 THAT WE SPENT. AS A COMMISSION WE SHOULD BE VERY PROUD. WE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION AND THIS IS A HUGE STEP IN A SOLIDIFYING THAT WHAT WE DID WAS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF NOT JUST HERON BAY THE CITY OF PARKLAND AS A WHOLE. I JUST WANT TO REITERATE ANTHONY AND NANCY. I SEE THE HERON BAY BOARD HERE. IT WAS NOT EASY FOR YOU GUYS KEPT YOUR NOSE TO THE GROUND AND KEPT PUSHING TO GET THINGS DONE. I'M VERY PROUD OF EVERYONE. THANK YOU ALL.

>> WELL SAID. IT WOULD BE REMISS IF I DID NOT ALSO KIND OF CHIME IN. FOR WHATEVER PEOPLE SEE FROM OUTSIDE THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE DECISION MATRIX AND MEETINGS AND ALL OF THAT, THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE THAT HAPPENED BEHIND THE SCENES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF NANCY, ANTHONY, THE H AWAY, THE ATTORNEYS AND EVEN TOLL. I GET SO MUCH CREDIT FOR ALL OF THE HARD WORK AND EFFORT THAT WENT INTO THIS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE'S INTERESTS WERE SOMEWHAT REPRESENTED AND ALL GOOD DEALS AND SITUATIONS, THERE IS COMPROMISE AND PEOPLE WILLING TO LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE. I GIVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR THAT. I THINK ON THE HEELS OF THAT, ALSO RECOGNIZING THE COMMUNITY INPUT WE HAD ON THE COMMERCIAL VILLAGE TOWN HALL, THERE WAS A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK THAT GETS ME MORE EXCITED TO SEE THAT BOTH PIECES OF THE PUZZLE ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. VERY HAPPY TO SEE

THAT. THANK YOU. >> I WANT TO THANK ONLY THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION . PROUD OF THE PROJECT AND ALL THAT'S GOING ON THE GOLF COURSE. I WANT TO THANK THEM PERSONALLY. I KNOW THERE IS STILL MORE PROGRESS TO BE MADE AND I THANK TOLL BROTHERS AND THE REPRESENTATIVES AS WELL FOR CONTINUING TO WORK IN A COLLABORATIVE FASHION WITH THE H AWAY AND WITH US AND HOPEFULLY WILL GET ALL OF THESE THINGS AND PIECES MOVED FORWARD. I THOUGHT THE CONCEPTUAL AND FEEDBACK FROM THE RESIDENCE IS A VITAL PROCESS AND WE WILL DO MORE OF THAT AS WE GO FORWARD IN GETTING THE FEEDBACK FROM THE RESIDENCE OF HERON BAY AS WELL AS ALL RESIDENTS OF PARKLAND ON THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IT IMPACTS EVERYONE I THINK WILL HELP TO MAKE IT AN EVEN BETTER PROJECT AND REALLY EMBRACED BY THE COMMUNITY. THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE WANTS. WE WERE LOOKING DOWN THE BARREL OF SOMETHING WE DID NOT LIKE WITH THE RESIDENT SUPPORT AND COMMISSION SUPPORT, STAFF AND TOLL BROTHERS AS WELL, YOU'RE ABLE TO POSITION THIS PIECE OF LAND AND HOPEFULLY THE CENTRAL PIECE OF LAND AND A MUCH BETTER PATH FORWARD.
