COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN . >> NUMBER WHEN I WOULD JUST LIKE TO COMMENT ON HOW MY FAVORITE SEASON IS NOW UNDERWAY. HOCKEY SEASON IS WELL GOING. HURRICANE SEASON HAS ENDED AND THE FIRE PIT AND FARMERS MARKETS THESE AND IS NOW UPON US. I ENJOYED GOING TO THE FARMERS MARKET BOTH AT TIMES THAT PET EXPO AND EVERY OTHER WEEKEND, EVERY OTHER SUNDAY IT IS A GREAT TIME TO GET OUT THERE . THE WEATHER IS BEAUTIFUL. ENJOY. I HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME ATTENDING THE INTERFAITH PRE-THANKSGIVING PRAYER SERVICE AT ST. ANDREW'S CATHOLIC CHURCH. IT IS REALLY NICE TO SEE ALL WALKS OF LIFE .

THERE WERE CATHOLIC , BAPTIST, JEWISH, MUSLIM RELIGIOUS LEADERS ALL PRAYING TOGETHER. IT WAS , IT WAS REALLY SPECIAL, SPECIAL MOMENT, AND IT WAS WONDERFULLY HOSTED BY ST.

ANDREW'S. I WAS VERY , VERY HAPPY TO DO THAT. I HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME AT THE THANKSGIVING TURKEY BOWL. MY FIRST TIME GOING TO THE TURKEY BOWL. IT IS GREAT SEEING BOYS AND GIRLS OF MULTIPLE AGE GROUPS GETTING OUT THERE. IT HAS GONE SO MUCH OVER THE LAST FIVE OR SIX YEARS THAT IT HAS BEEN GOING , RAISED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR CHALLENGER BASEBALL. IT IS A REALLY RELEVANT. COMING UP NEXT FRIDAY I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING OUT TO LIGHT UP THE PARK .

FESTIVITIES ARE GOING TO START AT 5:30 . I WANT TO BRING UP A SAD NOTE. I DO WANT TO MENTION MY HEARTFELT SORROW FOR OUR PARKLAND FAMILY WHO LOST THEIR SON THIS PAST WEEKEND . I WANT TO BRING UP AWARENESS OF SELF-HARM , THAT THERE IS A CRISIS HOTLINE THAT NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT. THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON MENTAL ILLNESS AND CONGRESS TOGETHER PASSED ALONG WITH THE FCC , IT IS OPERATIONAL NATIONWIDE. YOU JUST DIAL 988 FROM ANY STATE IN THE UNION, 24 HOURS PER DAY, 7 DAYS PER WEEK, AND YOU WILL BE CONNECTED TO SOMEONE TO HELP YOU IF YOU ARE FEELING THOUGHTS THAT ARE HARMFUL TO YOURSELF.

SO , 988. KIND OF LIKE 911 BUT 988. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT

NUMBER. >> OKAY. THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER MURPHY-SALOMONE . >> SO, IT IS ALSO MY FAVORITE SEASON , COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN, SO HAPPY FOR FOOTBALL, FOR JUST A BEAUTIFUL WEATHER, AND JUST DEFINITELY THE FARMERS MARKET, THE PET EXPO , THE CRAFT FAIR. I WAS ABLE TO GO WITH ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS TO THE CRAFT FAIR AND BRING ONE OF OUR -- IT WAS REALLY GREAT IN TO SEE ALL OF OUR PARKLAND RESIDENCE THERE, MANY , AS WELL AS OTHERS FROM AROUND THE AREA , AND COFFEE WITH THE CHIEFS AT THE STATION WAS ALSO AWESOME. I GOT TO SEE THINGS THAT I'VE NOT SEEN EVEN THOUGH I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR SO MANY YEARS , AND THAT WAS REALLY FUN. ALSO, JUST CAME FROM THE CHAMBER HOLIDAY PARTY , AND IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS OWNER OR OTHERWISE WANT TO NETWORK FROM A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE, THE CHAMBER IS A WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION. THEY, THEY REALLY DO RING IN SO MANY DIFFERENT SPEAKERS, AND IT IS JUST A GREAT WAY TO NETWORK ACROSS OUR GREAT CITY. AND THEN THERE IS LOTS OF EVENTS COMING UP , AS COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN SAID. LIGHT OF THE PARK WILL BE A GREAT EVENT IS ALWAYS. EVERYONE COME OUT. SORRY ABOUT THAT, MAYOR WALKER , I KNOW HOW YOU ARE, BUT KEEPING YOU ON

[00:05:06]

A TENNIS FUNDRAISER , AND FINALLY, I WOULD ECHO THE COMMENTS REGARDING THE TRAGEDY THAT RECENTLY JUST IN THE PAST FEW DAYS WAS DISCOVERED , AND OUR PRAYERS AND SYMPATHIES GO OUT TO THE YOUNG BOY'S FAMILY , AND I WOULD JUST ALSO ADD THAT EAGLES HAVEN IS A WONDERFUL RESOURCE . A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN'T AWARE OR THEY KNOW IT BUT THEY DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT WHAT THEY OFFER. SO YOU CAN GO TO EAGLES HAVEN. JUST GOOGLING IT. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THEIR APP, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY SOURCES OF SUPPORT, CLASSES, EVENTS THAT PROVIDE TREMENDOUS SUPPORT , AND THERE OTHER THINGS ACROSS THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AND THROUGH THE SCHOOLS. SO, THAT

IS IT FOR ME. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER %

BRIER. >> THANK OCCASIONALLY DURING THE HOLIDAYS WE FORGET TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE GOING THROUGH , WHETHER IT IS MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES ARE JUST SOME SADNESS , I AM GLAD COMMISSIONER MURPHY-SALOMONE AND COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN HAVE RAISED THESE ISSUES. EAGLES HAVEN IS AN AMAZING RESOURCE RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD FREE OF CHARGE. THEY DON'T CHARGE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A STUDENT. YOU CAN BE AN ADULT, CHILD, WHATEVER IT IS. THEY HAVE GREAT PROGRAMS AND COUNSELORS IN A VARIETY OF RESOURCES THERE THEN YOU CAN CALL UPON. SO OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS WHO ARE SUFFERING THROUGH SOME TRAGEDY RIGHT NOW , AND THEIR LOSS WHICH IS UNIMAGINABLE, AND WE CONTINUE TO PRAY TO LIFT THEM UP. WE HAVE SO MANY GREAT EVENTS AS THE OTHER TWO COMMISSIONERS HAVE MENTIONED. IN ADDITION TO THAT , SOS CHILDREN'S VILLAGE HAS THEIR LIGHT UP THE VILLAGE EVENT COMING UP THIS WEEKEND NEXT WEEK A COASTAL COMMUNITY RIGHT ON THE STREET IS DOING A HOLIDAY MARKET AS WELL, THEN WE HAVE SNOW FAST COMING UP ON DECEMBER 19. PARKLAND CARES IS GIVING OUT A GRANT. THEY HAVE A GRAND CEREMONY GOING ON NEXT WEEK. AND I WANT TO WISH THE CITY MANAGER ON HIS UPCOMING RETIREMENT, CONGRATULATIONS.

WELL DESERVED. HE'S BEEN AN ASSET TO OUR COMMUNITY EVEN THOUGH HE'S BEEN THE CITY MANAGER AND CORAL SPRINGS BECAUSE HE WAS THE FIRE CHIEF AND ON THE FRONT LINES PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITIES AND SERVICING PARKLAND AS WELL AS CORAL SPRINGS. I WANT TO WISH HIS FAMILY THE BEST AND CONGRATULATE HIM THE BEST . MAKE OUR SCHOOLS SAFE TENNIS EVENT IS THIS FRIDAY AND OUR FARMERS MARKETS KEEP ON GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. THE COOL WEATHER DOESN'T HURT. SO, IF YOU ARE AROUND ON SUNDAYS , EVERY OTHER SUNDAY, OUR FARMERS MARKET IS A GREAT WAY TO GO OUT AND MEET SOME NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS AND GET SOME GOOD STUFF. WITH THAT, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. VICE MAYOR. >> THANK YOU. AS USUAL , AS WE WIND DOWN THROUGH THE COMMENTS , THERE IS LITTLE TO ADD TO.

GUY, TOO, GOT TO ENJOY A LOT OF THESE EVENTS THAT WERE MENTIONED. I AGREE WITH YOU , COMMISSIONER MURPHY-SALOMONE, THAT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY BEEN TO ANY OF THE EVENTS OR HAVE NOT SIGNED UP AS A MEMBER OR TRUSTEE MEMBER , DEFINITELY LOOK INTO IT. IT IS NOT ONLY A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO MARKET YOUR COMPANY OR BUSINESS, BUT THE NETWORKING IS BEYOND JUST THE BUSINESS REALM. CREATES COMMUNITY IN A WAY THAT I THINK MOST ORGANIZATIONS TRY TO DO , AND NOT ALWAYS ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL IN THE CHAMBER HAS DONE IT EXTREMELY WELL . IT IS CONTINUING TO GROW IN SIZE AND SCALE. DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THAT. THE INTERFAITH HOLIDAY CEREMONY WAS, ACTUALLY IS MY FIRST YEAR GETTING TO BE ABLE TO GO. USUALLY IT HAS BEEN A CONFLICT. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING TO SEE A GROUP OF PEOPLE ALL FROM DIFFERENT BELIEF SYSTEMS AND WALKS OF LIFE TO COME TOGETHER AND CELEBRATE HARMONIOUSLY, WHICH TRUTHFULLY, WHEN YOU GO TO IT AND YOU THINK TO YOURSELF WHY CAN'T WE JUST DO THIS IS A COMMON THING, I WISH THERE WAS MORE OF IT, BUT KUDOS TO THEM FOR PUTTING ON A REALLY GREAT EVENT. THE VETERANS DAY EVENT ALSO, THAT'S WHEN IT HASN'T BEEN MENTIONED PICK THE CITY ALWAYS DOES AN AMAZING JOB, BUT THIS YEAR SPECIFICALLY WE HAD TWO GUEST SPEAKERS WHO REALLY PUT SOME REAL HEART AND SOUL INTO THEIR COMMENTARY AND KIND OF SHED LIGHT ON THEIR OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, SOME OF WHICH WAS ALSO JUST EXPLAINING THE, THE KIND OF THE FUNDAMENTAL , I GUESS, GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF EACH OF THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE MILITARY , WHICH I THOUGHT WAS REALLY COOL. I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW MYSELF. COFFEE WITH CHIEFS, I WAS JUST TALKING WITH THE CHIEF MOZER OVER THERE THAT EDITION TO BSO AND THE PARKLAND-CORAL SPRINGS FIRE DEPARTMENT PUTTING ON A REALLY GREAT EVENT, I GIVE YOU GUYS BOTH, AND CATHERINE, YOU TWO, BOTH OF YOU GUYS GO ABOVE AND BEYOND BECAUSE MY 4-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER MAIA HAS TAKEN ON AN AFFINITY TO RESCUE

[00:10:02]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THERE IS ONE MORE THING I'D BE REMISS BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO GET AN OPPORTUNITY.

YOU NEED TO WISH A HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SON AND DAUGHTER WHOSE BIRTHDAYS ARE GOING TO BE ON THE 19TH AND THE 20TH. WE TRY TO DO IT ON THE 18TH BUT I TRY TO GET THAT IN THERE BECAUSE OTHERWISE I CAN'T GO HOME. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH , VICE MAYOR. I MEAN, THANK YOU WELL FOR BRINGING UP ABOUT THE BOY WHO LOST HIS LIFE. MY BROTHER ALSO WAS ONE WHO DIED BY SUICIDE , SO IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE DO TALK ABOUT IT, BECAUSE AGAIN, THE HOLIDAYS ARE A JOYFUL AND WONDERFUL SEASON , BUT NOT EVERYBODY FEELS THAT WAY IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO TALK, AND AS THE VICE MAYOR SAID , YOU KNOW, REACH OUT TO PEOPLE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE. IF YOU ARE AT SCHOOL AND SOMEBODY IS SITTING ALONE, SIT DOWN WITH THEM, SAY HELLO TO PEOPLE. BE APPRECIATIVE AND ACKNOWLEDGE PEOPLE'S PRESENCE. YOU CAN'T ALWAYS IMAGINE HOW MUCH, HOW FAR JUST SAYING HELLO TO SOMEBODY COULD POTENTIALLY GO . I DO WANT TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON LOCKS ROAD . FOR THE RECORD, LOCKS ROAD WILL OPEN ON FRIDAY.

THERE WILL BE ACCESS TO 441 , SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GO TO BOCA, DOWN LOCKS ROAD . THAT IS GREAT, BUT LET'S ALL REMEMBER, LOCKS ROAD IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THIS PROJECT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MEANT TO LAST THREE YEARS. IT IS GOING TO LAST THREE YEARS. THEY WILL START HEADING WEST TO THE LEVY , SO THEY WILL BE WORKING ON THAT AREA, SO THERE WILL BE NO ROAD CLOSURES FOR 7 MONTHS. ULTIMATELY WHEN THEY GET FROM PARKSIDE TO 441, THERE WILL HAVE TO BE SOME ADDITIONAL ROAD CLOSURES, BECAUSE THEY ARE ADDING AN ADDITIONAL LANE , BUT FOR NOW WE CAN GO ALL THE WAY TO 441. AGAIN , IT IS STILL A CONSTRUCTION SITE. IT WILL BE A CONSTRUCTION SITE FOR 3 YEARS.

THE MEDIAN IS NOT FINISHED. THE CITY OF PARKLAND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IF NOT ALL OF THE LANDSCAPING, ALL OF THE LANDSCAPING. SO WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO ANY OF THE LANDSCAPING UNTIL THE ENTIRE PROJECT IS COMPLETE , SO IT IS NOT GOING TO LOOK FINISHED. HOWEVER, WE WILL BE ABLE TO DRIVE TO 441. THERE IS NO BIKE LANES ACCESSIBLE AT THIS POINT.

THE SIDEWALKS ARE OPEN SO YOU CAN GO, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN WALK DOWN THE SIDEWALKS, BUT WE ARE ASKING JUST CARS DRIVE, YOU KNOW, LOCAL TRAFFIC. YOU CAN GET TO 441, BUT AGAIN , KEEP IN MIND, THE PROJECT IS NOT YET FINISHED, BUT WE CAN ACCESS THE ROAD TO 441, WHICH IS GOOD. I KNOW THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE

>> ITEM 9 A IS 2024-096 RANCHES NEIGHBORHOOD DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS AND RUNWAY RESURFACING RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA APPROVING THE NEGOTIATED PRICE AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR A CONTRACT WITH THE TOP-RANKED PROPOSER, BERGERON LAND DEVELOPMENT, INC.

, FOR NEIGHBORHOOD DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS AND FOR READILY RESURFACING IN A TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF 11,000,003 AND $4800 PROVIDING FOR EXECUTION, PROVIDING FOR AN

EFFECTIVE DATE. >> GOOD EVENING. I AM THE NEWLY APPOINTED CITY ENGINEER . I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY I AM VERY HONORED TO BE THE NEW CITY ENGINEER AND I AM VERY EXCITED TO WORK WITH YOU GUYS TO SUPPORT THE CITY'S GROWTH AND INFRASTRUCTURE GOALS . SO, AS ANTHONY MENTIONED I'M GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT RESOLUTION 96 TO NEGOTIATE WITH BERGERON LAND DEVELOPMENT, INC. FOR THE RANCHES NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. I WILL START WITH A BIT OF BACKGROUND

[00:25:01]

THE CITY WOULD LIKE TO CONDUCT FURTHER MARKET RESEARCH AND DETERMINE IF A MORE COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE . THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE NEGOTIATIONS. THE TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT IS APPROXIMATELY 11.3. THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE NEGOTIATIONS. THE TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT IS APPROXIMATELY $11.3 MILLION. PLEASE NOTE THIS DOES INCLUDE -- EXCLUDE THE OPTIONAL ITEM. THE BREAKDOWN OF THE $11.3 MILLION INCLUDES APPROXIMATELY $7.1 MILLION FOR THE DRAINAGE PROJECT AND $4.2 MILLION FOR THE ROADWAY. THE DRAINAGE PORTION IS ESTIMATED TO BE FUNDED FOR APPROXIMATELY $4 MILLION IN CITY FUNDED FOR THE REMAINING $3 MILLION. THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IS ANTICIPATED TO BE 635 CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE NOTICE TO PROCEED , AND IS ESTIMATED TO BE COMPLETED IN Q4 OF 2026. THE CITY STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS RESOLUTION BE APPROVED. IF APPROVED, CITY STAFF WILL EXECUTE THE CONTRACT WITH BERGERON LAND DEVELOPMENT, INC., ISSUE A NOTICE OF CONTRACT COMMENCEMENT , AND ONCE THAT IS COMPLETE, THE NEXT STEPS WILL INCLUDE THE CONTRACTOR ACQUIRING THE REQUIRED PERMITS. A PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING WILL BE CONDUCTED, AND THEN THE

CONSTRUCTION CAN BEGIN. >> THANK YOU , RICHARD. AGAIN JUST TO CLARIFY, TODAY WE ARE APPROVING THE COST , OR THE CONTRACTOR WHICH WOULD BE BIRCH RUN TO PERFORM THE WORK , MINUS THE PUMP STATION, BUT IT IS AN OPTION WE CAN HAVE. ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT OUR'S DEATH WE BRING THIS UP ALL THE TIME, IS THAT THEY ARE VERY DILIGENT MAKING SURE WE ARE SPENDING OUR DOLLARS WISELY. THIS IS AN ITEM THEY SOLD AS POTENTIAL SAVINGS.

SO IN NEGOTIATING WITH THE CONTRACTOR THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT THIS LINE ITEM OUT. WE CAN ALWAYS ADD IT BACK IN AT THE COST THAT HE HAS, BUT IF WE ARE ABLE TO FIND ADDITIONAL SAVINGS WE WILL BE ABLE TO REAP THOSE BENEFITS WHICH AGAIN, IT IS A HUGE PLUS TO THE CITY THAT YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS MINDFUL OF THE MONEY THAT WE SPEND. YOU GUYS ARE LIKE YOU GUYS ARE THE GOVERNMENT YOU PAY $500 FOR A HAMMER. WE DON'T DO THAT HERE . OUR STAFF IS VERY DILIGENT IN MAKING SURE EVERY DOLLAR THAT WE SPEND IS SPENT WISELY? OH, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR RICHARD ? ANY MOTIONS? ANYTHING?

>> I THINK BASED ON JUST TO THE PROPOSALS AND ACTUALLY THE NEGOTIATION AM I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST, NOT ONLY JUST THE BEST PRICING IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR. I KNOW THERE WAS SOME KIND OF I WILL CALL IT COMPETING BID , BUT I THINK ALSO IN TERMS OF BERGERON'S REPUTATION AND ALSO HAVING THE LOCAL PRESENCE, WHICH IS INVESTED IN THE COMMUNITY , I THINK IS A VERY GOOD FIT FOR THIS JOB. I WOULD

MOTION TO APPROVE. >> AND A SECOND.

>> I WILL SECOND. >> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING THAT THERE IS AND WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY VICE MAYOR ISROW AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN. ROLLCALL.

>>

UNANIMOUSLY. >> ITEM 9B IS RESOLUTION 2024-097 POST ROAD ASSESSMENTS. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

[00:30:02]

AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> ANYTHING MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS. CHRIS JOHNSON, FINANCE DIRECTORON HERE BEFORE TONIGHT IS FOR PROPOSED ROAD ASSESSMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. HERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF THE BACKGROUND OF WHERE WE, HOW WE ENDED UP HERE TONIGHT. BACK IN STRATEGIC LANDING IN APRIL YOU GAVE US SOME DIRECTION TO GO AHEAD WITH SOME OF THESE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. SO, IN ORDER TO DO AN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT , THERE ARE NUMEROUS STEPS THAT HAVE TO BE , THAT HAVE TO BE FOLLOWED. THE FIRST ONE IS THE REASON WE ARE HERE TONIGHT IS TO ADOPT THE NOTICE OF THE RESOLUTION OF NOTICE OF INTENT TO ASSESS RIGHT NOW WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH A LEGAL TEAM OF NEIGHBORS . ALSO GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES ARE DEVELOPING THE METHODOLOGY, AND THEN THE CITY ALSO HAS HAD PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE LEAGUE OF CITIES REGARDING FINANCING OF THESE PROJECTS.

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

BY JUNE , WE WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION , AND THEN BY SEPTEMBER 15TH WOULD BE THE FINAL , FINAL RATE. THESE DATES ARE PRETTY STRICTL, STRICTLY, YOU KNOW , NO WIGGLE ROOM SO TO SPEAK. THERE IS NO, NO ROOM FOR EXTENSIONS WITH THESE ASSESSMENTS IN ORDER TO GET THEM ON THE TAXPAYER REELS NEXT NOVEMBER . SO WITH THAT I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE.

>> SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS NOT ISSUING AN ASSESSMENT .

THIS IS JUST GIVING US THE AUTHORITY TO POTENTIALLY DO AN ASSESSMENT. SO, ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT WAS LET'S GET, BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT ASSESSMENTS , LET'S GET THE NUMBERS, SO NOW WE HAVE THE NUMBERS , SO THEN WE ARE GOING TO HAVE JANUARY 15. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A WORKSHOP WHERE WE ARE ALSO GOING TO DISCUSS THE WATER, BECAUSE WE DID GET PRICING ON THE WATER IN THE RANCHES. JANUARY 15 WILL BE A WORKSHOP TO HAVE A DISCUSSION. AT THAT POINT WE WILL GIVE DIRECTION OR NOT FOR STAFF TO DO WHATEVER THAT IS, AND THEN WE WILL HAVE A FUTURE DISCUSSION TO TALK ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF AN ASSESSMENT WE WILL LEVY. YOU KNOW, IF WE DO ONE , WHATEVER IT IS, BUT WE WILL HAVE THAT DISCUSSION AT A LATER DATE, SO RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO NUMBERS. WE KNOW WHAT THE TOTAL COSTS ARE , BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT AN ASSESSMENT WOULD BE AT THIS JUNCTURE THIS IS JUST GIVING US THE AUTHORITY TO ISSUE ONE , SHOULD THERE BE ONE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE.

>> QUICK QUESTION, DOES THIS COVER A SINGLE ASSESSMENT OR IF WE DECIDE WE WANTED TO DO TWO SEPARATE ASSESSMENTS AS PART OF TWO SEPARATE ORDINANCES, THIS WOULD COVER BOTH?

>> THIS WOULD COVER BOTH. IT'S KIND OF A BROAD AUTHORITY SO TO SPEAK THAT COVERS THE ENTIRE CITY.

>> ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? JORDAN?

>> YEAH, MOTION TO APPROVE. I THINK RIGHT NOW IT , IT IS JUST LAYING THE FOUNDATION, WHICH YOU KNOW, GIVES US AN OPTION

LATER. MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. ANYONE? SECOND?

>> MOTION TO SECOND. >> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK FROM THIS ITEM? SEEING THAT THERE IS NONE, WE HAVE A MOTION BY VICE MAYOR ISROW AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER

KANTERMAN . ROLLCALL. >>

[00:35:02]

>> PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

>> ITEM 9C IS RESOLUTION 2024-098 DESIGNATING PROPERTY AS A GREEN REUSE AREA FIRST HEARING. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA DESIGNATING PROPERTY LOCATED AT HERON RUN DRIVE AND NOB HILL ROAD , PARKLAND, FLORIDA 33067 AND IDENTIFY PARCEL IDS NUMBER 484105010134 AND 484106000085 IS A GREEN RIOS AREA PURSUANT TO SECTION 37 SIX 6.8028 FLORIDA STATUTES, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL REHABILITATION, JOB CREATION, AND PROMOTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF PARKLAND TO NOTIFY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF SAID DESIGNATION, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE NATE. -- WHAT IT DOES IS IT OFFERS TAX BENEFITS TO DEVELOPERS WHO ACTUALLY DO THAT ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP, AND SO, WE WORKED WITH TOLL BROTHERS ON THIS, WE HAVE TOLL BROTHERS AS REPRESENTATIVES HERE. THIS COVERS THE 21 ACRE PARCEL THAT WE ARE UNDER CONTRACT TO SELL THEM AS WELL AS THAT APPROXIMATELY 25 ACRES THAT IS INTENDED, THAT THE CITY OWNS, THAT IS INTENDED FOR FUTURE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AS WELL, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE 8.5 ACRES THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH CORAL SPRINGS ON HIS POTENTIALLY ANNEXED IT COULD BE A POTENTIAL FUTURE INCENTIVE FOR A FUTURE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPER. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I BELIEVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL CANCEL IS HERE AS WELL.

>> ANTHONY, THIS IS WHO, PUTTING ASIDE THE TOLL PROPERTY, WE WOULD SAY TOLAND THE VILLAGE, OR, I DON'T KNOW IF THE ATTORNEY WANTS TO ANSWER THIS, THIS IS TO MAKE IT MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TO PUT ASIDE THE TOLL PROPERTY FOR THE VILLAGE PROPERTY FOR A DEVELOPER TO COME IN TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE REMEDIATION WORK BECAUSE IT WAS A GOLF COURSE PREVIOUSLY. THIS PROVIDES THEM WITH ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY. IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE NECESSARILY GOING TO GET IT, BUT ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO GET TAX INCENTIVES OR FUNDS FROM THE STATE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT?

>> I HAVE WORKED ON MULTIPLE GOLF COURSE REDEVELOPMENTS AND THIS IS NOW MORE TYPICAL THESE DESIGNATIONS AND IT DOES HELP THE DEVELOPER IN TERMS OF THE REHABILITATION COST AND TAX INCENTIVES. IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT.

>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS BRETT BRUMMOND WITH THE GOLDSTEIN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW FIRM WITH OFFICES IN CORAL GABLES. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF TOLL, BUT THEY ARE THE FIRST OF MANY POTENTIAL BENEFICIARIES OF THIS DESIGNATION. SO THIS DESIGNATION WOULD PROVIDE ACCESS TO STATE INCENTIVES, SO IN A WAY IT IS PUTTING STATE MONEY DOWN TO THE CITY OF PARKLAND. IT IS NOT FREE MONEY. IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE INCENTIVES A DEVELOPER OR PROPERTY OWNER MUST ENTER INTO A VOLUNTARY CLEANUP AGREEMENT WITH BROWARD COUNTY AND IT ACTIVATES THOSE INCENTIVES WERE CHANGE CLEANING UP CONTAMINATION CAUSED BY SOMEBODY ELSE. THIS OPENS UP OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE FUTURE USERS OF THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AS WELL TO ACCESS THESE STATE FUNDS THAT MAY COME IN THE FORM OF REIMBURSEMENTS FOR CLEANUP COSTS. IT MAY ALSO BE IN THE FORM OF LIABILITY PROTECTIONS AS WELL AS TAX REFUNDS IN EXCHANGE FOR CREATING NEW JOBS AT THE SITE ARE ATTRACTING NEW JOBS TO THE CITY.

>> GREAT. ANYBODY ? ANY MORE QUESTIONS, MOTIONS, ANYTHING?

>> ANTHONY, JUST TO CONFIRM, I KNOW, I THINK WE JUST DISCUSSED, BUT I WANTED TO CONFIRM FOR THE RECORD, STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS, THE FACTORS HAVE BEEN MET, IT GIVES US KIND OF THE CONDITION PROCEEDING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH

THIS, RIGHT? >> CORRECT.

>> WITH THAT I WOULD MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING THAT THERE IS NOT, WE HAVE A

MOTION BY -- >> USUALLY I'M FIGHTING

PEOPLE. >> VICE MAYOR ISROW AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BRIER. ROLLCALL .

UNANIMOUSLY . THANK YOU. >> ITEM 9D, ORDINANCE 2024-015, SALE OF APPROXIMATELY 9.3 ACRES OF LAND TO LIFETIME FITNESS , LTF REAL ESTATE COMPANY, FIRST READING. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA APPROVING A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT WITH LTF REAL ESTATE COMPANY FOR THE CITY'S SALE OF APPROXIMATELY 9.3 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT 118 FOR THE CITY'S SALE OF APPROXIMATELY 9.3 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT 11801 HERON BAY BOULEVARD, CORAL SPRINGS, FLORIDA AS FURTHER DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT ONE, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT WITH LTF REAL ESTATE COMPANY FOR THE SALE AND THE AMOUNT OF $6 MILLION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS FACILITY WITH ASSOCIATED AMENITIES, CONTINGENT UPON THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS, PROVIDING FOR IMPLEMENTATION, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THE CITY MANAGER AND I HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATING FAIRLY DILIGENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY WITH LIFETIMES TEAM. WE DO HAVE A CONTRACT FOR YOU TONIGHT FOR CONSIDERATION. I'M JUST GOING TO GO OVER THE KEY BUSINESS

[00:40:02]

THE INITIAL DEPOSIT IS $200,000 DUE WITHIN THREE BUSINESS DAYS OF EXECUTION OF THE SALE AGREEMENT BY THE PARTIES . THIS ORDINANCE AND AGREEMENT ARE APPROVED BY THIS COMMISSION ON SECOND READING, AND THE NEXT MEETING , AND THE, THEY WOULD MAKE THE DEPOSIT , AND THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD WOULD START.

WE DO HAVE A SEVEN MONTH DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 210 DAYS. ONE OF THE REASONS WERE LITTLE LONGER DUE DILIGENCE ON THE SITE IS THAT THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL INCLUDES GETTING AN ACRE FROM THE WESTSIDE, WHICH THEY ARE NEGOTIATING AT THIS TIME. IT ALSO INCLUDES GETTING A MODIFICATION OF AN ACCESS EASEMENT, YOU ALL KNOW ABOUT THAT LONG DRIVEWAY THAT LEADS UP TO THE CLUBHOUSE, GETTING A MODIFICATION OF THAT ACCESS EASEMENT FROM CORAL SPRINGS AND MARRIOTT. DURING THAT SEVEN MONTHS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DILIGENTLY PURSUE GETTING THOSE TWO THINGS DONE AS WELL AS DOING THE TRADITIONAL DUE DILIGENCE, ENVIRONMENTAL, ET CETERA IF THEY EXIT DUE DILIGENCE, THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL $200,000 DUE WITHIN THREE BUSINESS DAYS OF THE END OF THAT DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD, PROVIDED THAT THEY DO NOT TERMINATE. ESSENTIALLY THE INITIAL DEPOSIT , BOTH DEPOSITS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AFTER THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD, EXCEPT IF THEY TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT BASED ON A DENIAL OF ANY OF THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS, THEY HAVE ALSO REQUESTED IF CORAL SPRINGS OR COUNTY STAFF GIVE A WRITTEN RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL, THAT THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY FORCED TO SPEND THREE MORE MONTHS AND GO GET THE FORMER DENIALS. THAT IS UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AS WELL. THEY WOULD HAVE TERMINATION RIGHT THERE. PRESUMING WE PROCEED THROUGH DUE DILIGENCE AND CONTINUE ON, THEN THERE IS A 12 MONTH WHAT IS CALLED ENTITLEMENT PERIOD. THAT WOULD BE THE ENTITLEMENT PERIOD OF THE TIMEFRAME IN WHICH LEIFSON WOULD HAVE TO SEEK THE DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS FROM CORAL SPRINGS IN THE COUNTY.

THEY HAVE TO DILIGENTLY PURSUE THOSE DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME. IF THEY ARE DILIGENTLY PURSUING AND PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION TO THE CITY MANAGER , THERE IS AN ABILITY FOR UP TO AN ADDITIONAL SIX MONTH EXTENSION. LET'S SAY THEY HAVE GOTTEN A COUPLE OF THE APPROVALS AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE COUNTY TO PUT THE PLAT ON THE AGENDA, ET CETERA, THAT EXTENSION PROVISION IS THERE. THERE'S ALSO COOPERATION PROVISION. THE CITY OWNS THE PROPERTY AND THEY WILL BE CEMENTING FILAMENT APPLICATIONS TO CORAL SPRINGS IN THE COUNTY, SO THERE, THERE IS, WE, WE WOULD HAVE TO SIGN THOSE DEVELOPING APPLICATIONS AS OWNER, AND ADDITIONALLY THE CITY AT NO COST TO THE CITY WOULD COOPERATE WITH LIFETIME TO ASSIST IN OBTAINING THE MODIFICATION ACIDIFICATION AT THE MARRIOTT EASEMENT TO FACILITATE THEIR DEVELOPMENT.

THEY DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE IF THEIR DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS ARE DENIED . ONE THING THAT THEY HAVE REQUESTED THAT WE ARE STILL WORKING ON, FRANKLY , IS DEALING WITH IF, THEY ARE PROOF LET'S SAY IN CORAL SPRINGS, BUT CORAL SPRINGS FROZEN, LIKE, A VERY EXPENSIVE CONDITION, LIKE YOU HAVE TO BUY A FIRE TRUCK OR SOMETHING FOR THAT EXTENT, THEY ASK FOR SOME FLEXIBILITY THERE , SO WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH, LIKE, WE PROPOSE A DOLLAR THRESHOLD SO WE ARE WORKING THROUGH WITH THAT DOLLAR THRESHOLD WOULD BE IN TERMS OF A MATERIAL CONDITION THAT WOULD CAUSE THAT. THE CLOSING. THE CLOSING WOULD OCCUR ON OR BEFORE 30 DAYS FOLLOWING THE EXPIRATION OF THAT ENTITLEMENT PERIOD FOR THEM TO GET THE ELEMENT APPROVALS. WITH RESPECT TO REMEDIES IF THEY DEFAULT UNDER THE AGREEMENT WE ARE AND TIRED -- ENTITLED TO THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. IF WE DEFAULT, THEY CAN SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE FOR US TO CLOSE OR THEY CAN TERMINATE THE CONTRACT AND GET THEIR MONEY BACK.

LIFETIME FITNESS DID REQUEST THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON IF THERE IS A CONCERN LIKE SOMEBODY THROWS US A $10 MILLION OFFER AND WE JUST REFUSED TO CLOSE AND THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT AND THROUGH NO FAULT OF FAMILY REFUSED TO CLOSE, THAT WE WOULD WORK REIMBURSE THEM FOR THEIR DOCUMENTED COST AT THAT TIME IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION UP TO A MAXIMUM REIMBURSEMENT FOR $1.5 MILLION , SO THAT IS UP TO YOUR CONSIDERATION. AND THEN JUST KEEP IN MIND IN TERMS OF THE APPROVAL PROCESS HERE, IT IS AN ORDINANCE. IT DOES REQUIRE TWO READINGS. TO PASS IT ON FIRST MEETING TONIGHT IT REQUIRES 3/5 OF PERMITTED VOTE. FOR TO PASS ON THE SECOND READING, AND REQUIRES A 4/5 AFFIRMATIVE VOTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR CITY VOTE -- CODE. WITH THAT I WILL PAUSE AND

ANSWER QUESTIONS. >> I WILL DO A QUICK LITTLE

19.5 +6 IS 25.5. WE STILL HAVE OUR 25 ACRES . CORAL SPRINGS, WE HAD A JOINT WORKSHOP WITH CORAL SPRINGS, THAT BOTH COMMISSIONS HAD AGREED THAT LIFETIME WAS THE BEST FIT FOR THAT, AND IN TURN CORAL SPRINGS IS GOING TO ANNEX THE EIGHT ACRES IN CORAL SPRINGS INTO THE CITY OF PARKLAND . OBVIOUSLY THERE WILL BE IF HE THAT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT, BUT NOW WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANY INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS, WE DON'T HAVE TO WORK WITH ANY OF THEIR CITIES WHEN WE DO, WHEN WE GO TO BUILD THIS VILLAGE. ALL OF THE LAND IN THE VILLAGE WILL BE OWNED AND OPERATED AND IN THE CITY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND . SO, NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IN SELLING THIS LAND TO MAKE OURSELVES WHOLE , AND, YOU KNOW, NOW WE WILL BE CLOSE TO BEING IN THE BLACK, BUT WE ALSO GET THAT EIGHT ACRES IN CORAL SPRINGS INTO THE CITY OF PARK AND SO THEN WE HAVE, WE DON'T HAVE TO WORK WITH ANYBODY ELSE TO TRY TO GET DONE WHAT WE WANT TO GET DONE IN THE VILLAGE. ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS FOR US AS WE OWN THE LAND, WE WERE ABLE TO GO OUT AND FIND AN AMENITY THAT WORKS FOR US. WE WENT OUT TO RFP WITH COLLIERS. THEY CAME BACK WITH I THINK THREE OR FOUR BIDS FOR THIS PARTICULAR LAND. AGAIN, BOTH PARKLAND AND CORAL SPRINGS COMMISSIONS AGREED LIFETIME WAS THE BEST FIT . IT IS A HIGH-END BRAND. I THINK IT WILL BRING A LOT OF VALUE TO OUR COMMUNITY. IS GOING TO BRING, IT'S GOING TO BRING SOME HELP TO THE VILLAGE. LOOK, IF WE COULD KEEP EVERYTHING GREEN FOREVER , THAT IS OBVIOUSLY ALWAYS IDEAL, BUT THAT IS NOT REALISTIC IN THIS TIME, BECAUSE KEEPING THINGS GREEN IS, IS COSTLY. THERE'S MAINTENANCE COST AND DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO DO WITH THAT , AND WE ARE BRINGING A BRAND THAT I THINK OUR RESIDENTS WILL ENJOY AND THEY WILL USE. LIFETIME HAS, YOU KNOW, HUNDREDS OF LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. I THINK ANYBODY WHO KNOWS, WHO HAS EVER SEEN A LIFETIME , THEY ARE ALL VERY SIMILAR. WE KNOW WHAT TYPE OF FACILITY IT IS. IT IS A HIGHER END FACILITY WHICH I THINK OUR RESIDENTS WILL ENJOY. THIS MOVE HERE, NOT ONLY DOES IT ALLOW US TO RECOUP THE REST OF OUR FUNDS, BUT IT ALLOWS US TO CONTROL THE ENTIRETY OF THE VILLAGE. WE DON'T HAVE TO WORK WITH CORAL SPRINGS OR ANY OTHER ENTITY TO DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IN THE VILLAGE. SO WITH THAT, IF ANYBODY HAS ANY OTHER

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. >> I, I WILL COMMENT, MAYOR.

YOU KNOW COME UP FOR THOSE THAT ATTENDED THE WORKSHOP AND THE JOINT WORKSHOP, I, YOU KNOW , THERE IS NO SURPRISE THAT I WAS THE LONE DISSENTER AND THAT HAS NOTHING, I WANT TO CLARIFY FOR THE RECORD , LIFETIME PRODUCES A BEAUTIFUL FACILITY. THEY HAVE GREAT AMENITIES. I TOWARD THEIR PGA FACILITY, WHICH WAS GORGEOUS. I JUST HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL CHALLENGE WITH SEEING THE NEED FILLED IN THE COMMUNITY, AND A VOICE THAT.

WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW , COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE THEIR OWN AMENITIES. THEY ARE REDOING THOSE, PUTTING MONEY INTO

[00:50:03]

IT GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY, A RATHER UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY, TO DETERMINE THE FUTURE OF ALL OF THESE PARCELS INCLUDING THIS 9.3 ACRES, AND SO WE CAN CONTROL WHAT GOES THERE, CONTROL THE PROCESS, CURATE AND FINE-TUNE WHAT WE SAW AS A COMMUNITY NEED , RECOGNIZING THE IMPLICATIONS THAT WERE GOING TO COME FROM THE RESIDENCE WHETHER THAT WAS TRAFFIC OR NOISE OR ANYTHING. I AGREED WITH THE MAYOR FROM THE OUTSET. I TOLD RESIDENCE THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE GREEN SPACE.

WE HAVE THE BENEFIT OF THE PROPERTY THAT NSID HAS BOUGHT AND MAINTAINED TO TURN THAT INTO A PRESERVE , AND THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE BEAUTIFIED AND ONE DAY SOON IT WILL BE OPENED AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE RESIDENCE AND EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE REMAINING LAND, THE ECONOMICS OF IT WAS THAT EVENTUALLY IT WOULD NEED TO BE SOMETHING THERE, AND PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT WOULD DERIVE SOME TAX REVENUE. SO, WITH THAT , I ALWAYS ENVISIONED US BEING ABLE TO BE THE CURATORS, US BEING ABLE TO DETERMINE, EVEN THOUGH THIS PROPERTY IS IN CORAL SPRINGS, AND THAT POSES SOME UNIQUE CHALLENGES, BECAUSE WE AS A BODY IN PARKLAND NOW 09 .3 ACRES IN CORAL SPRINGS AND WE'RE TRYING TOO TAKE WHAT GOES THERE, BUT I DON'T FEEL THAT WE HAVE COME THROUGH ON THAT PROMISE AND THAT IS MY CONCERN, IS THAT WE ARE SELLING THE PROPERTY. THERE ARE VERY FEW RESTRICTIONS IN THE CONTRACT AS IT SETS TODAY WITH REGARDS TO WHAT THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE PROPERTY, OF THE LIFETIME FACILITY WOULD BE. I DON'T THINK IT ADEQUATELY INDICATES THE CONCERNS THAT I'VE RAISED, THAT RESIDENTS HAVE RAISED REGARDING THE NOISE ISSUES , THE EXTERIOR COMPONENTS. THEY ARE PUTTING ASIDE WHETHER IT SHOULD BE A GYM OR NOT. A, A FITNESS FACILITY. I DIDN'T MEAN THAT IN A PEJORATIVE TERM. BUT BY PUTTING ASIDE WHETHER IT SHOULD BE A LIFETIME FITNESS OR NOT, I DON'T THINK THAT THE SITE PLAN PROPOSED ADEQUATELY ADDRESSES ALL OF THE CONCERNS AND IS REFINED IN A MANNER WHICH WOULD BE THE BEST POSSIBLE PROJECT. NOW, IT MAY GET THERE. IT MAY GET THERE THROUGH THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS IF THIS PASSES TONIGHT AND AFTER SECOND READING, BECAUSE CORAL SPRINGS LEFT TO DO THEIR PROCESS THROUGH THEIR PLANNING AND ZONING, BUT WE LOSE THAT CONTROL, AND THAT WAS THE INTENTION THAT I HAD IN VOTING TO ACQUIRE THIS PROPERTY IS FOR US TO MAINTAIN AS MUCH OF THAT CONTROL AS POSSIBLE. WE HAD NUMEROUS DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT. I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONTINGENCIES THAT LIFETIME HAS REQUESTED IN THE CONTRACT.

I DON'T FEEL THAT IF THEY EXERCISE, YOU KNOW , GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THERE IS SOME HICK UP WITH CORAL SPRINGS THAT BECOMES OUR IMPACT. I ALSO DON'T FEEL THAT IF THERE IS SOME, THEY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS BEFORE THE CITY OF PARKLAND OWNED THIS LAND. ANTHONY, YOUR NOTION OF THE DOCUMENTED COST BEING UP TO $1.5 MILLION THAT THEY COULD RECOVER FROM THE CITY OF PARKLAND WORRIES ME. SO, WITH THAT, THOSE ARE MY FEELINGS. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE RESIDENCE. I AM SURE RESIDENTS WILL SPEAK AND I WELCOME THE COMMENTS FROM MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS, BUT THOSE ARE MY

CONCERNS. >> I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS CONTROL, FIRST AND FOREMOST. WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS CONTROL THE BRUNT OF THE LAND. WE KNOW WE CAN CONTROL LAND THAT IS IN SOMEONE ELSE'S CITY, EVEN IF WE OWN IT. WE CAN'T DICTATE THE PLANNING. WE CAN'T DICTATE THE ZONING. WE CAN'T DICTATE THE ARCHITECTURE. WE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT, BUT WHAT CONTROL WE HAD IS WHAT GOES THERE, AND THAT TO ME IS VERY IMPORTANT, AND IT IS VERY BENEFICIAL FOR THE CITY OF PARKLAND. SO WHILE WE CANNOT CONTROL LIKE WE CAN APPEAR THE ASCETICS AND HOW IT WILL LOOK ,

[00:55:05]

WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS NOW. IT IS A DECISION THAT WE MAKE. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE WE HAVE CONTROLLED THIS PROCESS ENTIRELY, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTROL IT THROUGHOUT, BECAUSE WE PICKED WHICH AMENITY WILL BE THERE.

AND NOW WE GET ALL OF THE VILLAGE IN THE CITY LIMITS.

THAT TO ME, YOU , THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES. THAT, THAT IS EVERYTHING IN THIS DEAL. NOT ONLY DO WE GET A PRODUCT THAT OUR RESIDENTS WILL 100% USE , BUT WE GET EIGHT ADDITIONAL ACRES IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND. AS FAR AS LIFETIME IS CONCERNED WITH TRAFFIC . LIFETIME FITNESS PUTS A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON MAKING SURE THE ENVIRONMENT THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS ENJOY OUR QUIET, SECLUDED. TRAFFIC IS SOMETHING THAT THEY, THEY ARE GOING TO ONE. THEY AREN'T GOING TO WANT THE RESIDENCE TO BE, LIKE, IT IS TAKING ME TO LINE TO GET OUT OF HERE. IT IS TAKING THIS. THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THE RESIDENTS HAVE THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE. THAT WILL BE WITH BUFFERS. THE POOL OUTSIDE IS QUIET. THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR PEOPLE OUTSIDE. SO IF YOU ARE NOT HEARING NOISE COMING IN MY YOU ARE CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO HEAR NOISE COMING OUT. THAT IS THE TYPE OF EXPERIENCE LIFETIME IS GIVING TO THEIR CLIENTS. SOMETHING IS GOING TO GO THERE. YOU KNOW , TO ME I THINK THERE WAS, THEY DID A PRESENTATION AT HERON BAY AT ONE OF THEIR BOARD MEETINGS, AND THEY ONLY , THEY ONLY PULL FROM A 12 MILE RADIUS. SO ONE OF THE CONCERNS THE RESIDENCE GAVE AS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE COMING FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE INTO OUR CITY. THAT'S NOT TRUE. THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY DO. THEY ARE OPENING ONE IN BOCA. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TWO IN BOCA. YOU WILL HAVE ONE HERE, ONE IN WEST BOCA, ONE ON YAMATO OR WHATEVER IT IS, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE OUR RESIDENTS THAT USE IT. AS WE HAVE CLUBHOUSES AND ALL THESE THINGS. I HAVE GYM MEMBERSHIPS.

MY WIFE HAS MULTIPLE GYM MEMBERSHIPS. MOST PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE , BECAUSE THERE ARE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU WANT.

SOMETIMES YOU WANT CROSSFIT, SOMETIMES YOU WANT PILATES.

SOMETIMES YOU WANT THIS. SOMETIMES YOU WANT A SMALL CLASS WITH YOUR FRIENDS. SOMETIMES YOU WANT BIG CLASSES.

EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENT WANTS AND NEEDS, SO AS FAR AS SUSTAINABILITY, YOU KNOW, THE LIFETIME MODEL TO ME, ONE OF THE THINGS THEY'VE BROUGHT UP, THEY HAVE NEVER HAD A LIFETIME FITNESS CLOSE IN THEIR HISTORY. SO THAT TELLS ME WHAT TYPE OF , WHAT TYPE OF OWNER THEY ARE. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING?

JORDAN? >> I MEAN, LOOK. EVERYONE RAISES GOOD POINTS. MY TAKE ON THIS IS WE EMBARKED UPON THIS KIND OF JOURNEY HERE FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF, ONE , MAKING SURE WE CONTROL THE DESTINY AND , TWO, MITIGATING THE POTENTIAL FOR INCREASED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THAT PICKS ANOTHER QUESTION IS OKAY, WHAT IS GOING TO GO THERE? I THINK WE CAN AGREE THAT WE CANNOT KEEP THIS ENTIRE SPACE GREEN SPACE IS MUCH AS WE ALL WOULD LIKE THAT.

WE HAVE A FIDUCIARY OBLIGATION TO RECOUP OUR INVESTMENT, AND ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT DOES GO ON THIS PROPERTY NOT ONLY SUSTAINS THE HANDS OF TIME , BUT ALSO ACCRUES COMMERCIAL TAX , TAX BASE FOR THE CITY . WE ARE REACHING BUILDOUT. WE HAVE A BEDROOM COMMUNITY WITH A LOT OF HOMESTEADED PROPERTIES.

THE GOAL NOW IS IF WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A DEFICIT OVER THE COMING YEARS AND WE DON'T WANT TO INCREASE THE MILLAGE RATE EVERY YEAR IS TO FIND OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR REVENUE AND THE COMMERCIAL BASE IS JUST THAT. WE HAVE DONE OUR DILIGENCE IN THE SENSE OF HAVING COLLIERS DO AN RFP OR RFQ FOR PROPOSALS. WE GOT KIND OF A ROPES COURSE TYPE OPERATION. WE GOT A LAGOON /AQUARIUM TYPE BUSINESS. I BELIEVE THERE WAS , YOU KNOW, AN OLDER AGE CARE HOME WHICH I THINK KIND OF WITHDREW. IT IS NOT FOR LACK OF EXPLORING THE OPPORTUNITIES, AND I THINK THAT

[01:00:04]

SECTION 6.5, AND I DON'T KNOW IF SCOTT OR WHOEVER HERE IS ON BEHALF OF LIFETIME, THE ONE THING THAT IS KIND OF CONFUSING TO ME IS ONE OF THE POTENTIAL GROUNDS FOR I GUESS BACKING OUT OF THE DEAL, YOU KNOW, AND RECOUPING YOUR DEPOSIT IS WHETHER THE BUYER OBTAINS APPROVAL FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO PROCEED WITH THE TRANSACTION, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IN SECTION 9.1 HAS REPRESENTATIONS OF THE BUYER THAT THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE THIS DEAL AND ENTER INTO THIS TRANSACTION. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO RECONCILE THAT. IS THE BOARD IN FAVOR OF THIS DEAL OR IS IT THAT THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THAT THE BOARD HAS NOT FULLY COMMITTED

TO THIS? >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU GUYS AGAIN FOR MAKING A CHANCE FOR LIFETIME TO BE HERE. I AM ONE OF THE REAL ESTATE MANAGERS FOR LIFETIME . I AM THE TIP OF THE SPEAR IN TERMS OF THE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT TEAM FINDING NEW SITES FOR LIFETIME PARTICULARLY IN THE SOUTHEAST REGION OF OUR 300 PERSON PROPERLY -- PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT TEAM. WE MAKE SURE THAT WE BUILD THESE TO OUR STANDARD. IN TERMS OF THE QUESTION THAT YOU PROVIDED, THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS , THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS OUR CORPORATE GOVERNANCE TO MAKE SURE THAT IN THE SAME WAY LIFETIME IS RESPONSIBLE TO OUR INVESTORS MAKING SURE WE INVEST THE MONEY WISELY. WHAT THEY DO IS THEY APPROVE OUR ULTIMATE INVESTMENT, AND THEY DO THAT BEFORE WE HAVE MONEY THAT GOES HARD. WE TYPICALLY DO THAT IN THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD AFTER WE HAVE THE DUE DILIGENCE REQUIREMENTS THAT IS I DO SAY WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS DEAL AND ARE MARCHING FORWARD.

FEELING THINGS AT THIS POINT FOR US TO DO OUR GO GET ENTITLEMENTS FROM THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS. YOU WILL SEE IS MAKE THAT COMMITMENT EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS AND NOT ON MONTH

24. >> AND I APPRECIATE THAT. I GUESS MY CONCERN IS RIGHT NOW I UNDERSTAND, YOU GUYS ARE BUILDING ONE OR HAD BUILT ONE IN BOCA RECENTLY, WEST BOCA?

>> WE ARE LOOKING AT BUILDING IN THE UPTOWN BOCA DEVELOPMENT.

>> I GUESS THE ONE THING THAT CONCERNS ME IS THAT WITHOUT ANY REAL RISK OR SKIN IN THE GAME FOR ALMOST A TWO-YEAR PERIOD, WHAT IS STOPPING LIFETIME FROM, IF WE GET TO , LET'S SAY ,

[01:05:01]

ESSENTIALLY HAS NONE. >> I THINK THAT IS A FAIR QUESTION. THE PART THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY SEEN WITHIN THE CONTRACT IS THE TIME AND MONEY THAT LIFETIME SPENDS IN PURSUING THESE DEALS. FROM OUR STANDPOINT, BEFORE WE STICK A SHOVEL IN THE GROUND, WE PROBABLY HAVE $5 MILLION INVESTED IN THE PROJECT DEPENDING ON THE MARKET. THAT IS BEFORE CLOSING ON THE LANDON BEFORE STICKING A SHOVEL IN THE GROUND FOR CONSTRUCTION. IS EVERYTHING FROM DUE DILIGENCE, EXTERNAL TIME, INTERNAL TIME, MOVING FORWARD TO FIGURE OUT IF THIS IS FEASIBLE AS IT RELATES TO THIS PROJECT. WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO GROW IN THE SOUTH FLORIDA MARKET. OUR TEAM HAS BEEN TO THIS MARKET, OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM HAVE STOOD ON THIS SITE AND SAID WE WOULD LOVE TO PURSUE THIS. SO AS MUCH CONSIDERATION AS YOU CAN GIVE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT IS NOT SOMETHING WE CAN SAY ON EVERY SINGLE SITE BUT IT IS A SITE THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT AND IT IS A TARGET, YOU KNOW, THIS GENERAL AREA, CORAL SPRINGS, PARKLAND, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A PARTNER HERE , IT IS SOMETHING WE BROUGHT UP IN THE PAST SAYING HERE IS A MAP OF MIAMI, PALM BEACH, FORT LAUDERDALE , AND THEY SAID THOSE MAKE SENSE. GO SEE IF YOU CAN DO SOMETHING SO THAT IS WHERE WE ARE TODAY. WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THE COMMUNITY FOR ALL OF THE REASONS THAT YOU HAVE TALKED ABOUT SO FAR DURING THE MEETING, THE QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS YOU ARE INVESTING IN, THE WAY THAT YOU MAKE SPACE FOR YOUR STUDENTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT MAKE US EXCITED TO BE HERE. AS WE PURSUE THIS PROCESS, WE DON'T DO THAT LIGHTLY. WE ONLY BUILD, YOU KNOW, A HANDFUL OF THESE PER YEAR. WE ARE EXCITED TO PUT THIS ON THE LIST AND MAKE THIS PART OF OUR PROJECT PIPELINE. WERE GOING TO INVEST $5 MILLION IN PURSUING THIS SITE BEFORE WE EVEN CLOSE ON THE LAND.

>> A COUPLE THINGS ON THAT. SO , ONE, AND I GET A BUSINESS, YOU ARE GOING TO INVEST TIME AND MONEY IN THIS AND DOING THE DUE DILIGENCE, BUT I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT FOR LIFETIME HAVE GOTTEN TO THIS POINT, THEY'VE DONE ENOUGH HOMEWORK TO BE SOMEWHAT COMFORTABLE , RIGHT? I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET AT IS I CAN'T TAKE AWAY FROM THE INVESTMENT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO MAKE, BUT THAT STILL DOESN'T REALLY LEAVE US WITH ANYTHING IF ON THE 23RD MONTH LIFETIMES AS WE ARE PULLING THE PLUG . SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS HOW DO WE ALIGN OUR INTERESTS IN A WAY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE AS A CITY ARE NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, LEFT HOLDING THE BAG SO TO SPEAK OF SOMETHING DOESN'T GO YOUR WAY. YOU GUYS ULTIMATELY DECIDE YOU

WANT TO DO SOMETHING ELSE. >> I THINK WE GOT COMFORTABLE IN THE AGREEMENT, AND I BELIEVE THAT WHERE YOUR STAFF GOT COMFORTABLE IS THAT WE HAVE TO DILIGENTLY PURSUE ALL OF THESE APPROVAL. WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND MAKE SURE WE ARE MAKING APPLICATIONS TO CORAL SPRINGS IN THE COUNTY AS WELL AS ANY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAY HAVE ANY KIND OF JURISDICTION OVER THE SITE. WE HAVE TO PURSUE THOSE OTHERWISE WE ARE IN DEFAULT OF THE CONTRACT AND IF YOU IF WE DEFAULT ON THE

CONTRACT YOU HAVE OUR MONEY. >> IT SAYS YOU CAN CANCEL FOR

ANY REASON. >> WITHIN THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD , BECAUSE WITHIN WE MAY DO A PHASE ONE TEST AND FIND THAT THERE IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF REMEDIATION WE NEED TO DO, WE NEED TO DO A GEOTECH TEST AND SAID INSTEAD OF THIS PROJECT COSTING THIS MANY DOLLARS WE TO DO THE SPECIAL FOUNDATION AND IT'S GOING TO COUNT -- COST X AMOUNT MORE.

IT'S VERY TYPICAL IN OUR BUSINESS AND OTHER DEVELOPERS BUSINESSES AS WELL THAT WITHIN THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD WE HAVE A TIME TO EVALUATE OUR COSTS . AFTER THAT TIME PERIOD AND SEND THE EARNEST MONEY IS HARDER NONREFUNDABLE , THE ONLY WAY WE GET THE EARNEST MONEY BACK AS IF WE GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE ENTITLEMENTS PROCESS AND RECEIVE DENIAL, WHICH SAYS THAT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WOULD WANT US AT THAT POINT EITHER BECAUSE WE WOULD BE BUYING THE LANDON WE

CAN'T PUT A LIFETIME THERE. >> THERE ENOUGH. NO, THIS IS WHY IT IS A GOOD CONVERSATION TO HAVE. I GUESS MY NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE UNDERSTAND AT LEAST FROM MY BRIEFING, LIFETIME HAD I GUESS SOMEWHAT OF A RELATIVELY RECENT, I DON'T KNOW WHEN, BUT THERE WAS A SITUATION WHERE YOU DID NOT

[01:10:01]

>> THERE WAS A PROJECT WE WERE WORKING ON IN SAN DIEGO IN A CITY CALLED PA WAY. THAT WAS A WHERE THE DEVELOPER PROMISED A SMALL COMMUNITY CENTER ULTIMATELY. THEY ENDED UP NOT BEING ABLE TO OPERATE IT THEMSELVES OR FIND AN OPERATOR.

IT WAS OFFERED TO LIFETIME. WE TRIED TO STEP IN AND FULFILL THAT ROLE. IT WAS PUT TO THE PUBLIC VOTE IN THE PUBLIC VOTE DID NOT PASS. I WAS NOT CLOSE TO THAT PROJECT. I WORK MOSTLY ON THE EAST COAST AND THAT TEAM WORKS ON THE WEST, BUT THAT MAY BE THE EXAMPLE THAT YOU ARE THINKING OF.

>> IT WASN'T NECESSARILY GOVERNMENT APPROVAL. IT WAS COMMUNITY. THE LAST I'M GOING TO HAVE AND THAT I WILL GO TO THE OTHERS, SECTION 15.4 IS AN ASSIGNMENT PROVISION. ONE THING THAT CONCERNS ME IS THAT IT ALLOWS LIFETIME TO ASSIGN THIS CONTRACT TO COME YOU KNOW, ANY SUBSIDIARY OWNED BY THE BUYER OR ITS POLLS AND MAJORITY OWNERS OF THE BUYER, PROVIDED THAT SUCH ASSIGNMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE SELLERS THEIR APPROVAL, BUT THEN IT ALSO SAYS WHICH SHALL NOT BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD OR DELAYED. THE ONE THING I DON'T SEE HERE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HERE, ANTHONY , I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THIS IS EVER ASSIGNED IT AS A SIGN FOR THE SAME PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING A LIFETIME CENTER, MEANING, BECAUSE WHEN I DON'T WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN IS THEY SAY ALL RIGHT, WE NOW HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BUY THE LAND. WE ARE GOING TO FIND TO THIS OTHER COMPANY IN THIS OTHER COMPANY MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT VISION OR DIFFERENT IDEA AND NOW YES WE ULTIMATELY SAY WE CAN, YOU KNOW, APPROVE THE ASSIGNMENT OR NOT BUT IT IS NOT TO BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD AND NOW WE ARE IN THE SITUATION WHERE WHAT IS UNREASONABLY WITHHELD. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE ARE FOCUSING ON A LIFETIME WE ARE GOING TO GET A

LIFETIME. >> UNDERSTOOD. YOU CAN TALK ABOUT YOUR STRUCTURE BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY THIS IS REALLY AFFILIATES OF THIS LIFETIME ENTITY, BUT ULTIMATELY IF THE CONTRACT IS ASSIGNED, AND WE CONSENT TO IT, THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ALL THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT WHICH REQUIRE THEM TO SUBMIT A SITE PLAN, ALL OF THOSE DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS AND APPLICAIONS TO THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS IN THE COUNTY FOR A LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS CENTER CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL AND INCLUDED IN THE AGREEMENT. IF THEY DON'T DO

THAT THEY WOULD BE IN BREACH. >> MAY BE THEY HAD DIFFERENT BUSINESSES THAT OWNED THE BUILDING.

>> OF COURSE. I KNOW FOR KIND OF, YOU KNOW, ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE IDEA BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS NOT A SITUATION WHERE ALL THE SUDDEN THEY HAVE AN IDEA OR MAYBE WE HAVE A DIFFERENT VERSION OF OUR CONCEPT THAT WE WANT TO KIND OF PUT IN PLACE AND NOW THIS IS YOU KNOW, NOT WHAT WE AGREED TO OR SIGN UP FOR AND I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT US TO HAVE ONE OF

THESE, YOU KNOW. >> NO, ANTHONY?

>> RIGHT. WE HAVE TO APPROVE IT.

>> WELL, AGAIN. >> IT CAN'T BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD BUT I THINK IT'S PRETTY REASONABLE IF THEY ARE TRYING TO ASSIGN IT TO SOMEBODY WHO IS NOT, AN ENTITY THAT IS NOT GOING TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT.

>> JUST MAKING SURE . >> MAYOR I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO CIRCLE BACK TO ME AND OPEN IT UP TO OTHERS OR CIRCLE

BACK TO ME. WHATEVER EASIER. >> SO, JORDAN COVERED A COUPLE OF THE TERMS THAT I WAS CONCERNED WITH, SO I FEEL LIKE I'M COVERED. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP.

>> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? >> ANON ATTORNEYS ON THE COMMISSION, I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE BODY OF THE CONTRACT. CLEVER I DO WANT TO MENTION ONE THING. A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS REACHED OUT TO ME BY TEXT, PHONE, AND EMAIL WITH THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE SEEING OUT THEIR WINDOWS AND ABOUT THEIR TRAFFIC. AT ONE OF THEM UNDERSTOOD THE LINK THAT YOU ALLUDED TO , AND IT WASN'T REALLY STATED CLEARLY BETWEEN THE 8.5 ACRES THAT IS BEING ANNEXED FROM CORAL SPRINGS AND RE-ANNEXED INTO CORAL SPRINGS AND THE ACTUAL CONTINGENCY THAT THAT REQUIRES US TO SELL TO THIS SPECIFIC ENTITY. I DON'T THINK THAT HAS BEEN STATED CLEARLY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IS A

DIRECT LINK. >> I MEAN THAT, AGAIN. WE HAD COME YOU KNOW, YOU AREN'T ON THE COMMISSION AT THE TIME BUT WE HAD A JOINT WORKSHOP WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE AGREED THAT THIS IS THE DIRECTION WE WERE GOING TO TAKE, AND CORAL SPRINGS WENT APPROVING THEIR AGENDA ITEM THAT DID INCLUDE THAT WE WOULD SELL IT TO LIFETIME FITNESS IT IN TURN WE WOULD GET THE 8.5 ACRES ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OF PARKLAND . TO ME THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, LOOK, AND WE TALK ABOUT TRAFFIC. THERE USED TO BE A GOLF COURSE THERE. SO , THERE WERE PEOPLE COUGHING ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. SO THERE, THERE, THERE IS GOING TO BE TRAFFIC, BUT ONE THING WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND AS WELL , RIGHT NOW THIS IS A 3 TO 4 YEAR PROJECT. IS THAT CORRECT? SO IT IS 3 TO 4 YEARS. WE EVEN SAID THIS WITH THE VILLAGE, BECAUSE I KNOW PEOPLE TALK ABOUT TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC , TRAFFIC.

ANYTHING WE PUT THERE IS GOING TO GENERATE TRAFFIC, BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID THEY ARE REDOING THE INTERCHANGES. THERE WILL BE AN EXTRA LANE. IT IS GOING TO BE WIDER. HILL WILL NOT BE WHAT IT IS TODAY , SO THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS THAT YOU

[01:15:02]

BUT ANYWAY MY GO AHEAD. >> AND MAYOR, TO GO BACK TO YOUR COMMENTS, I VIEW THIS AS BREAKING IT UP INTO TWO SEPARATE ISSUES. ONE IS WHETHER OR NOT A LIFETIME FITNESS SHOULD GO THERE, AND IF THIS MONEY SHOULD DECIDE THAT A LIFETIME FITNESS, AND I RECOGNIZE THE JOINT WORKSHOPS AND THE WORKSHOPS THAT WE HAD THAT THAT WAS THE PREDOMINANT VIEW, HOW DO WE GO ABOUT ACCOMMODATING OR ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT THAT PROVIDES THE CITY WITH PROTECTION. SO ALL OF THE POINTS YOU'VE MENTIONED, AND THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE FOR THOSE WATCHING UP WHAT I SAID A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WHICH IS WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TOUGH ISSUES COME UP BEFORE THIS BODY AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE DIFFERENCES OF PHILOSOPHY, BUT WE ARE ALL TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING BY THE RESIDENTS OF PARKLAND AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. HAVING SAID THAT, MY CONCERNS PUT ASIDE THE FIRST ISSUE WHICH IS WHETHER OR NOT A LIFETIME IS THE BEST USE FOR THE SPACE, AND I RECOGNIZE WITH THE VICE MAYOR SAID, THAT WE SENT THIS OUT TO COLLIERS AND THEIR REACTIONS OR RESPONSES AND INTEREST WE GOT BACK WAS, WAS NOT WHAT WE HAD HOPED, AND I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN ANOTHER PROPOSER DIPPING THE TOE IN AS WELL, BUT, BUT PUTTING ASIDE THAT ISSUE, WHEN I TALK ABOUT CONTROL , AND I'M NOT JUST TALK ABOUT THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS, BECAUSE IN FACT IN THE CONTRACT LIFETIME IS A CONCERN THAT THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS REQUIREMENTS ARE GOING TO BE SO ONEROUS THAT THEY WANT THAT AS AN OUT TO GET OUT OF THE CONTRACT. TALK ABOUT THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS. THERE PNC DOES A GOOD JOB AND WE WORK VERY WELL WITH THEM. THE CONTRACT ITSELF AT THE END OF THE DAY IS GOING TO BE THE ONLY CONTROL WE HAVE. AND FOR THE REASONS THAT WE HAVE STATED, THAT I HAVE STATED, THAT THE VICE MAYOR HAS STATED, I HAVE CONCERNS. I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT I CAN TELL YOU AND YOU CAN TELL ME BETTER, HOW LONG HAS LIFETIME BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS? WHAT THEY'VE BEEN KICKING THE TIRES ON THIS PROPERTY FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS IF NOT LONGER . I'VE HAD THE BENEFIT OF OUR PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO AND TITLE SURVEYS AND ALL OF THOSE OTHER THINGS. SO THE NOTION THAT WE ARE NOW AFTER LIFETIME HAS BEEN INVOLVED MAYBE 2 TO 3 YEARS IN THIS PROCESS, THE NOTION THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THESE CONTINGENCIES AND CONDITIONS IN THIS CONTRACT, ALL THESE OUTS AND NOT EVEN BOARD UP OVAL TO MOVE FORWARD, WHEN THEY'VE HAD THE ABILITY TO DISSECT AND DO THE DILIGENCE THROUGH WHEN NSID OWNED IT AND NOW GETTING ALL THE DOCUMENTATION FROM US. THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT CAUSE ME CONCERN. YES, THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT THE ONE REQUIREMENT UNDER THE CONTRACT IS THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT A DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL OR A SITE PLAN PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS THAT IS COMMENSURATE WITH WHAT THEY HAVE SUBMITTED TO US. BUT IF THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS DOESN'T WANT THAT OR HAS CHANGES TO THAT THAT ARE MATERIAL, THAT PROVIDES THEM WITH ANOTHER OUT, AND THE TIMING THAT THE VICE MAYOR HAS ALLUDED TO CAUSES ME GREAT CONCERNS. CAN WE TALK ABOUT WELL YOU WILL HAVE OUR EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A $200,000 DEPOSIT ON A $6 MILLION DEAL. THAT IS NOT A BIG DOLLAR FIGURE FOR THEM TO GIVE UP TWO YEARS DOWN THE ROAD IF THEY DECIDE TO WALK AWAY FROM THE PROJECT. MY CONTROL ISSUES ARE NOT JUST WITH WHAT THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE PROPERTY IS. MY CONTROL ISSUES ARE WHAT CONTROL WE HAVE OVER THE FUTURE OF THIS PROJECT AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROJECT

ONCE WE SIGN THE CONTRACT. >> YOU KNOW, WE WENT THROUGH SOME OF THIS WITH TOLL BROTHERS AND WE DID NOT WANT A LONG DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD, YET WE EXTENDED IT TWICE. SO, WE CAN SAY WE, WE NEED YOU TO BE THREE MONTHS, BECAUSE WE WANT THE DUE DILIGENCE TO BE FASTER, BUT THEY ARE BEING UPFRONT AND TELLING US I CAN'T GET THE DUE DILIGENCE FASTER. WE HAVE TO REMEMBER ONE OF THE THINGS THEY HAVE TO NEGOTIATE IS THE EASEMENT WITH THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS AND THE MARRIOTT.

THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW. THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME. I'M SURE IS MORE THAN WILLING TO SAY LET'S DO THE DUE DILIGENCE IN 3 TO 4 MONTHS AND THEN HE COMES BACK IN 3 TO 4 MONTHS AND GETS I COULDN'T GET THE DEAL DONE AND THEN WHAT ARE WE GOING TO, NOT EXTENDED? OF COURSE WE ARE GOING TO EXTEND IT BECAUSE WE WANT THEM TO STAY IN. TO ME THAN COMING UPFRONT AND WORKING WITH OUR ATTORNEY AND SING THIS IS THE DUE DILIGENCE WE THINK WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO MAKE SURE WE GET ALL THE ANSWERS THAT WE HAVE, THAT TO ME MAKES SENSE, BECAUSE ANYBODY WHO BUYS THIS PROPERTY IS GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SAME, EXACT PROCESS, SO THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE MARRIOTT . THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO

[01:20:09]

SO THAT IS UNFORTUNATE IN THE CONTRACTS, BUT THAT IS THE ATTORNEY'S FAULT WHY WE ARE IN THOSE POSITIONS WITH THE CONTRACTS, BUT THAT IS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE. YOU KNOW TO ME IT BOILS DOWN TO THIS. LIFETIME TO ME IS A BRAND THAT MESHES WITH OUR COMMUNITY. IT MESHES WITH THE CITY OF PARKLAND. IT IS GOING TO BRING ADDED AMENITIES TO OUR RESIDENTS. WE ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE OURSELVES WHOLE ON THIS PURCHASE. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE EIGHT ADDITIONAL, 8.5 ADDITIONAL ACRES INTO THE CITY OF PARKLAND. I MEAN , WE HAVE THE ABILITY AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW THE CITY OF PARKLAND , AND BY GROWING IT, WE ARE GOING TO ADD ADDITIONAL TAX BASE TO OUR REVENUE. THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT TAX BASE. THIS IS ALSO ABOUT THE TYPE OF AMENITY THAT THIS HAS AND THAT IS THE CONTROL THAT WE HAD. NOW IF WE WANT TO ADD ADDITIONAL BUFFERS, WE WANT TO WORK WITH THEM WITH TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW , I HAVE MADE MY PROMISE TO MARK THAT I'M GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS THROUGHOUT.

I'M NOT JUST GOING TO SAY LOOK I SOLD IT I'M GOOD, SEE YOU LATER , CORAL SPRINGS, GO HAVE FUN WITH LIFETIME. THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M GOING TO DO. I'M GOING TO STAY HERE AND WORK AND FIGHT FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO MAKE SURE LIFETIME KEEPS THEIR END OF THE BARGAIN. GOING TO BE AT THE CORAL SPRINGS MEETINGS I'M GOING TO TALK TO THE COMMISSIONERS AND I'M GOING TO TALK TO EVERYBODY ELSE AND SAY LOOK THESE ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO ADDRESS. WE NEED TO ADDRESS TRAFFIC AND DO THIS AND EXTRA BUFFERS. WHATEVER IT IS I'M GOING TO HELP IN THAT PROCESS . I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS IN LIFETIME THEY UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE SELLING THEM THE LAND, WE WORK TOGETHER WITH CORAL SPRINGS ALREADY , WE HAVE A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP, WE CAN HELP THEM THROUGH THE PROCESS IN, YOU KNOW , TALKING TO CORAL SPRINGS AND MAKING IT EASIER FOR THEM IN THAT PROCESS, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FIGHTING CORAL SPRINGS , BECAUSE WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. AND AGAIN CORAL SPRINGS HAS ALREADY AGREED TO THE PROCESS, SO AGAIN , THEY ARE COVERING THEIR BASES. I GET IT. I DON'T LIKE A LOT OF THOSE THINGS IN THE CONTRACT EITHER, BUT THAT IS, YOU KNOW , IN REALITY THAT IS WHERE WE ARE AT, BUT CORAL SPRINGS HAS ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED SO MUCH SO THAT THEY TIED GETTING A .5 ACRES TO OFFERING THIS TO LIFETIME. WE KNOW CORAL SPRINGS IS ALL IN. WE KNOW THAT TO BE THE CASE. WE KNOW THIS PROCESS WILL GO , WILL GO SMOOTHLY, BUT IT IS GOING TO TAKE TIME, OBVIOUSLY , AND THEY ARE STILL GOING TO COVER THEIR BASES.

>> QUESTION, WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE

CONVERSATION WITH THE NSID? >> WE HAD A COUPLE OF CONVERSATIONS. WE JUST RECEIVED A PURCHASE AGREEMENT TRACK FROM

THEM. >> AND WHAT ABOUT MARRIOTT?

>> MARRIOTT WE ARE AIMING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM

IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. >> BROUGHT UP THE POINT THAT TOLL BROTHERS ASKED FOR ADDITIONAL TIMES ON THE DUE DILIGENCE BUT THEY ALSO HAD SKIN IN THE GAME, SO WHEN I ASK AND OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE US AN ANSWER NOW, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO THIS COME BACK IF WE APPROVE IT TONIGHT, I ASK THAT LIFETIME CONSIDER MAKING THE INITIAL $200,000 DEPOSIT GO HARD AFTER THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD, MEANING THAT IF THEY WANT TO PUT UP AN ADDITIONAL $200,000 FOR THE ENTITLEMENT PERIOD OR WHATEVER, THAT CAN STILL BE RECOUPED IF THE ENTITLEMENT IS NOT GRANTED ANY GUYS DON'T GET IT, BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR LIFETIME TO CONSIDER THAT, BECAUSE I THINK FOR US TO EMBARK UPON THIS LONG ROAD, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT IF FOR WHATEVER REASON LIFETIME MAKES A DECISION, BUSINESS DECISION, MAY NOT EVEN BE GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL AND SAYS YOU KNOW WHAT , WE FOUND A BETTER SITE, WE FOUND A BETTER DEAL THAT WE ARE JUST LEFT WITH NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS

EXERCISE. >> I DON'T MIND YOUR IDEA, BUT THERE IS NO, THE CITY OF PARKLAND , WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU

WANT TO GO? >> THERE YOU GO.

[01:25:05]

>> THAT IS MY OPINION ON THAT.

>> IT IS A VERY GOOD POINT, BUT I WILL TELL YOU AS A LAWYER THAT HASN'T STOPPED PEOPLE BEFORE. THAT WOULD BE MY ASK.

>> ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> THAT IS ATYPICAL BUT WE WILL CONSIDER IT.

>> ONE QUESTION AND YOU MAY NOT KNOW AT THIS POINT, BUT THE INSPECTION IS KEY. I AGREE WITH MAYOR WALKER WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU WANT TO GO OTHER THAN PARKLAND, BUT THE INSPECTION, YOU KNOW, YOU RAISED THAT IF THERE WERE REMEDIATION COSTS THAT WERE PERHAPS WHAT WERE NOT EXPECTED, BUT IS THERE SOME KIND OF PLAN FOR INSPECTION EARLY IN THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD THAT WOULD SEEM REASONABLE?

>> OUR TEAM IS , YOU KNOW, WE ARE READY TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING IF THIS GETS APPROVED TONIGHT, IF IT GETS APPROVED ON THE 18TH, WE TALKED ABOUT HEY, ARE WE READY TO GET OUR CONSULTANTS MOBILIZED. WE ARE READY TO GO ON THAT END.

>> I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. IT IS IN CORAL SPRINGS, BUT DO WE KNOW THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS HAS DONE A SIMILAR DESIGNATION OF THAT PARCEL OF PROPERTY AS A GREEN REUSE AREA TO ASSIST WITH

REMEDIATION COST? >> THAT, THAT WOULD BE,

>> DO WE KNOW IF IT HAS HAPPENED?

>> THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT IS REALLY NOT UP TO , THAT IS NOT REALLY UP TO US. THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO THAT.

>> I HAVE NO INDICATION THAT THEY HAVE.

>> THIS IS ALSO A DISTINCTION, BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE THE CLUBHOUSE WAS. THIS IS NOT THE ACTUAL COURSE.

>> SO IT COULD BE WORSE. >> I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS

APPLICABLE. >> CORRECT.

>> DO I HAVE A MOTION OR ANYTHING?

>> SINCE I SEEM TO BE THE ONE MAKING THE MOTIONS TONIGHT, I WOULD MAKE THE MOTION TO GET THIS TO THE, TO THE NEXT READING, BUT AGAIN WITH MY, MY ASK THAT YOU GUYS CONSIDER HAVING SOME, SOME SKIN IN THE GAME AFTER THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD. THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION.

>> DO I HAVE A SECOND? >> I WILL SECOND.

>> DO I HAVE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? COME ON. COME ON DOWN. YOUR NEXT .

>> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. NEIL , WELCOME. CINDY, WELCOME TO THE COMMISSION. MY NAME IS MARK LAJOIE. I AM PRESIDENT OF HERON BAY. I LIVE IN CORAL SPRINGS. AND MY NEIGHBORS ARE NOT REAL HAPPY WITH THIS ON THAT END OF HERON BAY , WHEREAS WHEN YOU GET FURTHER DOWN WHERE SIMEON LIVES, PEOPLE ARE LIKE A, YOU KNOW, BUT I MEAN, THE ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK, I KNOW ALL THE WORK WHICH IS PUT INTO THIS. I KNOW ALL THE WORK ANTHONY HAS PUT INTO THIS, AND NANCY. SO , I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. THE ONE CONCERN I HAVE, AND IT REALLY BOTHERS ME, IS I WENT TO THE SEPTEMBER WORKSHOP , SEPTEMBER 9 . OKAY . YOU KNOW, THE CORAL SPRINGS COMMISSION DID NOT AGREE ON THIS AT THAT MEETING. THE VICE MAYOR WITHHELD, THEY WANTED TO TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE. SIMEON MADE THE MOTION, OR, SIMEON MADE THE MOTION TO OPEN THIS BACKUP TO COLLIERS. SO COLLIERS OPENED THIS BACKUP, AND WE HAVE A RESIDENTS, JEFF CAMERON , THAT WANTED TO PUT IN A PROPOSAL , AND I, I THINK HE IS GETTING STONEWALLED. HE HAS DONE , HE SHOWED HIS PROPOSAL TO THE RESIDENCE OF HERON BAY ALONG WITH LIFETIME. I THINK, I THINK IT IS A GOOD FIT. AND I THINK, I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD GIVE HIM THE SAME OPPORTUNITY YOU HAVE GIVEN LIFETIME TO GIVE YOU A PROPOSAL.

>> WE HAVE ALREADY HAD A MEETING, WE HAVE ALREADY HAD A WORKSHOP WITH CORAL SPRINGS. CORAL SPRINGS HAS ALREADY PASSED THEIR AGENDA TO ANNEX --

>> I WAS AT A WORKSHOP. THEY DIDN'T PASSED IN THE WORKSHOP.

>> THEY HAD A COMMISSION MEETING. THEY APPROVED --

>> THEY DIDN'T PUT THE RESOLUTION ON THE AGENDA.

>> THE PAST, THEY PASSED A RESOLUTION.

>> I KNOW WHAT THEY PASSED. >> TO DE-ANNEX 8.5 ACRES PROVIDED PARKLAND SELL THE LAND TO LIFETIME FITNESS. THAT IS A RESOLUTION THAT THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS HAS MADE. WE HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH JEFF , SO ONE THING DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO DO WITH THE OTHER. SO , WE ARE ALREADY BEYOND, WE ARE ALREADY, WE ARE BEYOND THAT POINT. WE ALREADY

-- >> THAT, THE ONE THING I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY , WHY, THE ANNEXATION IS IMPORTANT. WE ALL

[01:30:01]

>> THAT IS WHAT CORAL SPRINGS PUT THAT IN THE RESOLUTION. WHY THEY PUT THAT IN THE RESOLUTION I DON'T KNOW THAT WIDEOUTS IN THE RESOLUTION BUT IT'S IN THE RESOLUTION IT TO ME I'M OKAY WITH THAT, BECAUSE AGAIN I WANT TO SEE CORAL SPRINGS, AGAIN, WE GO BACK TO CONTROL. WE ARE THE ONES WHO OFFERED UP LIFETIME.

SO, CORAL SPRINGS AGREED TO IT AND THE RESOLUTION WAS MADE. I

APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. >> ALL RIGHT.

>> ANYONE ELSE? >> GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING THIS MEETING. SO I LIVE IN THE FALLS HERON BAY, PART OF CORAL SPRINGS, NOT PARKLAND. PREVIOUS TO THIS MEETING I'VE MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES --

>> NAME AND ADDRESS. >> ANDREA SPIRA , CORAL SPRINGS, 3006. SO, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE MEETING YOU SAID YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, RIGHT, AND THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, RIGHT . I THINK THE MOST AFFECTED NEIGHBORHOOD BESIDES, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT HERON BAY AS A WHOLE IS THE FALLS COMMUNITY, WHICH IS ONE OF THE FIRST COMMUNITIES WITHIN HERON BAY WHICH BELONGS TO CORAL SPRINGS. MY PROPERTY, FULL DISCLOSURE, I PAY $1.325 MILLION FOR IT, RIGHT, AND I HAVE A DIRECT SITE TO WHERE THIS LIFETIME FITNESS IS GOING TO BE LOCATED. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY PLANS OF WHAT , OF WHAT THE BUILDING IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. YOU BROUGHT UP THAT GOLF COURSE HAS TRAFFIC, YES, ABSOLUTELY, BUT A GOLF COURSE DOES NOT HAVE NOISE POLLUTION, DOESN'T HAVE LIGHT POLLUTION DURING NIGHTTIME. I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VIEW FROM MY BACKYARD AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO GO OUT THERE. THAT IS ONE OF MY MAIN CONCERNS AND BEING THAT I LIVE IN THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS AND NOW THIS IS GOING TO BE ANNEXED TO PARKLAND, WHAT CONTROL DO I HAVE, I DON'T HAVE ANY WARM AND FUZZY SET, YOU KNOW, IT IS GOING TO BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF MY

NEIGHBORHOOD. >> SO AGAIN, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I PROMISED TO MARK IS YOUR NEXT STEP WOULD BE GOING TO CORAL SPRINGS WHEN THIS COMES UP TO SITE PLAN AND PLANNING.

YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE PROPER BUFFERS IN THE PROPER THIS AND PROPER THAT. AND WE WILL BE THERE WITH YOU, EVEN THOUGH YOU LIVE IN CORAL SPRINGS, THAT'S OKAY. YOU ARE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE IS. IT IS MY, IT IS MY GOAL TO DO WHAT I CAN TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS AS PROTECTED AS THEY CAN. LIKE I HAVE SAID, I HAVE SAID IT PUBLICLY I HAVE SAID IT'S A MARK AND I HAVE SAID IT'S EVERYBODY ELSE. I'M NOT JUST GOING TO SAY GOODBYE AND WALK AWAY GOING TO LISTEN TO WHAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING AND I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE CORAL SPRINGS HEARS IT. AND THAT, AND THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE, WHETHER YOU ARE COMING TO PARKLAND ARE GOING TO CORAL SPRINGS IS TO VOICE YOUR CONCERNS. WE HAVE ALL COMMITTED THAT WE ARE GOING TO HELP WITH THAT PROCESS.

>> THANK YOU. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, MAYBE BRINGING THE COMMUNITY INTO HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AT EVERYTHING.

>> I THINK LIFETIME HAS ALREADY COMMITTED TO HAVING A MEETING

WITH THE FALLS SPECIFICALLY . >> THANK YOU.

>> GO AHEAD. NO, YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE MICROPHONE. YOU CAN'T JUST TALK FROM BACK THERE. NOBODY KNOWS WHO YOU ARE. WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO FIND YOU LATER.

>> I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

>> NAME AND ADDRESS. >> JUSTINE, HERON BAY, 110973 .

CAN YOU CLARIFY IF IN FIVE YEARS, 10 YEARS, IF LIFETIME CLOSES, WITH THE OPTIONS ARE AND WHO HAS CONTROL OVER THAT?

>> I'M SORRY? >> IF THEY CLOSE IN 10 YEARS, SEVEN YEARS, WHO HAS CONTROL OF HER THAT?

>> IT WILL, LIFETIME WILL OWN THE LAND, SO, THEY WILL OWN THE

LAND. >> IS THERE ANY RESTRICTION ONTO WHAT THEN THEY COULD DECIDE TO SELL THAT TOO?

>> IT WILL BE CORAL SPRINGS. CORAL SPRINGS WILL HAVE TO DO THE SITE PLAN AND THE ZONING TO FIT LIFETIME. BROUGHT THEY MAKE THAT I DON'T REALLY KNOW . THAT IS ACTUALLY JULIE WITH THE CORAL SPRINGS PLANNING AND ZONING OUT THERE SEE YOU CAN CERTAINLY HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HER ABOUT THAT, BUT I WOULD IMAGINE THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP IT TIGHT AS FAR AS THE PLANNING AND ZONING TO A LIFETIME FITNESS TYPE FACILITY, SO IT IS NOT LIKE YOU COULD JUST NEXT WEEK TURN IT INTO

SOMETHING ELSE. >> SO IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF

RESTRICTION AT ALL PUT ON IT? >> AT OUR PROCESS THERE IS NOT.

ANTHONY THERE IS NO -- >> IT'S IN CORAL SPRINGS SO ULTIMATELY IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO CORAL SPRINGS ZONING , ZONING REGULATIONS PIERCER DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY REZONE TO, THOSE OF ZONING REGULATIONS HAVE CERTAIN PERMITTED USES AND THAT WOULD DICTATE WHAT COULD GO THERE , AND UNLESS THEY

REZONE IT TO SOMETHING ELSE. >> AND I'M SURE AGAIN THAT THOSE ARE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE CAN HAVE AS WELL WITH CORAL

[01:35:03]

SPRINGS. >> WHAT WE WANT TO PUT ON THERE NOW IT HAS TO BE THE RIGHT FIT AND THEY COULD TURN AROUND AND

CHANGE IT AGAIN. >> LOOK, I THINK THEIR INVESTMENT IN BUILDING A LIFETIME FITNESS IS $40-$50 MILLION. I DON'T EXPECT SOMEBODY WHO'S GOING TO SPEND THAT TO BUILD A FACILITY THAT IS GOING TO CLOSE IN 10 YEARS.

>> BUT I WILL, I'M GOING TO CHIME IN, BECAUSE I THINK SHE HAS A POINT TO THE EXTENT THAT WE IN A CONTRACT CAN PUT SOME SORT OF COVENANT OF THINGS THAT WE DON'T WANT IT TO BE.

>> THAT WE JUST NEED TO BE A LITTLE CAREFUL WITH, BECAUSE THIS, WHILE WE OWN IT, NOW, I THINK TRYING TO PUT RESTRICTIONS ON CORAL SPRINGS, YOU KNOW, IMAGINE SOMEONE

TRYING TO DO THAT -- >> LOOK. I GUESS, WHAT I'M KIND OF TRYING TO DO IS BALANCE BOTH OF THESE. CORAL SPRINGS PUT THE CONDITION OF THE ANNEXATION ON LIFETIME SAYING THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE THERE. IF EVERYONE IS IN AGREEMENT THAT THIS IS THE PROJECT WE WANT TO SEE IN THAT LOCATION , THAT, YOU KNOW, EVEN TO YOUR POINT, THE INVESTMENT, WE HAVE TO STILL THINK 20 YEARS FROM NOW, RIGHT? WHATEVER IS HAPPENING AT THAT TIME, IF THIS PROPERTY DOES CHANGE HANDS, THAT THERE IS SOME MAY BE LIMITATIONS OF THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, A PERFECT EXAMPLE, WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING SOMEBODY MAKE A TOP GOLF BECAUSE OF THE LIGHTS AND THE SCALE OF IT. MAYBE THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE MAY BE KIND OF WANT TO THINK THROUGH AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE TONIGHT BUT OF SOME THINGS THAT ARE LIMITATIONS ON WHETHER EVEN THE HEIGHT OR THINGS, AND AGAIN I GET YOUR POINT IT IS AT CORAL SPRINGS ZONING, BUT WE COULD STILL PUT SOME SORT OF COVENANT ON A CONTRACTUAL BASIS THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE GOVERNMENT SIDE.

>> THAT WAS THE POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE. WE LOSE CONTROL THE MINUTE WE SIGN A CONTRACT AND ONLY CONTROL WE HAVE IS IN THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT. I'M NOT TREATING LIFETIME DIFFERENT THAN I TREATED TOLL BROTHERS OR ANYONE ELSE AND MAKING THEM PUT CERTAIN THINGS IN THE CONTRACT AND THE DESIGN PLANS AND WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE AT TOLL BROTHERS THAT ARE STILL BITTER WITH ME ABOUT IT, BUT WE HAVE SOME THINGS WE CAN CONDITION IN THE CONTRACT WHETHER IT IS CONTROL OR CURATING OF WHAT CAN GO THERE, WHAT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, BUT CAN'T GO THERE AND WHAT IT IS NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

>> I THINK WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL IN TRYING TO PUT RESTRICTIONS ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S LAND.

>> BUT IT IS OUR LAND TO SELL. AND $40-$50 MILLION IS A BIG INVESTMENT AND I TOTALLY APPRECIATE AND GET THAT, BUT IF IT IS OUR LATEST AND WE ARE TOTALLY COMMITTED TO DOING IT, THEN THEY SHOULDN'T BE WORRIED ABOUT SOME SORT OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANT OR OTHER PROVISION THAT RESTRICTED TO BEING A

LIFETIME. >> BUT IT IS CORAL SPRINGS. YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE WILL HOLD. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE FUTURE WILL HOLD IN ANY FORM OR CAPACITY.

>> IF THAT WAS THE CASE WE WOULD EVER DO RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS AND THE ONLY REASON WHY WE WERE ABLE TO NAVIGATE SOME OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS LATEST BECAUSE IT WAS A RESTRICTIVE COVENANT ON IT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. I HEAR YOU THAT IT WILL BE IN CORAL SPRINGS, BUT IT IS OURS TO SELL IT IT IS OURS TO SELL TO A PARTY WHO IS GOING TO DO WHAT

WE WANT ON THAT LAND. >> IF THERE SOMETHING YOU GUYS WANT TO FASHION FOR 20 TO 30 YEARS FROM NOW I AM NOT PREPARED AT THIS JUNCTURE TO PUT ANY RESTRICTIONS ON A PIECE OF LAND IN CORAL SPRINGS. RIGHT NOW CORAL SPRINGS HAS GIVEN US THE GUARANTEE THAT IF WE SELL IT , A LIFETIME WILL GO THERE.

WHAT HAPPENS IN 20 OR 30 YEARS, WE COULD BE SAYING THAT ABOUT EVERY DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'VE EVER MADE. CAN WE PUT RESTRICTIONS ON SOME OF THE OTHER COMMUNITIES OR STORAGE FACILITIES TO SAY THAT THIS CAN ONLY BE THIS? IT CAN'T BE

ANYTHING ELSE? >> WHILE THE STORAGE, THE STORAGE FACILITY WE DID BECAUSE WE PUT IT IN A SPECIAL ZONING REALLY THE STORAGE FACILITY COULD GO THERE, AND WE

FASHIONED IT. >> AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH CORAL SPRINGS TO DO IT IN A

CONTRACT TO ME IS JUST -- >> WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO IT IN THAT CONTRACT BECAUSE WE CONTROLLED THE ZONING. THIS IS A CONTRACT WHERE WE DON'T CONTROL THE ZONING.

>> BUT FOR TOLL BROTHERS WE PUT COVENANTS ON THE LAND.

>> I MADE THEM BUILD AT LEAST TWO ONE-STORY HOUSES.

>> BUT THAT -- >> I THINK AT A MINIMUM, AND YOU KNOW , IT MAY NOT BE FEASIBLE AT THE TIME I DON'T KNOW, BUT AT A MINIMUM, MAYBE WHAT WE CAN DO IS PUT IN THE CONTRACT THAT IF LIFETIME DOES DECIDE TO SELL THAT PROPERTY AND NO LONGER USE IT, THAT PARKLAND HAS THE RIGHT OF FIRST

REFUSAL TO BUY THE LAND. >> I HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT ONCE WE CLOSE, THE CONTRACT KIND OF GOES AWAY, RIGHT, SO HOW DO WE ENFORCE A PROVISION WHEN THEY ARE NOW THE OWNER? WE CAN COVER THAT IN TERMS OF ENTITLEMENT PERIOD, ET CETERA, BUT MAYBE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE LIKE A DEED RESTRICTION OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT AND OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD HAVE TO NEGOTIATE THAT.

>> A DEED RESTRICTION OR AN ADDENDUM WHICH PROVIDES THE

OPTION. >> YEAH, I MEAN, THAT CERTAINLY

-- >> RIGHT. I AGREE WITH YOU, MAYOR , IT IS HARD FOR US TO TALK IN THE ABSTRACT OF WHAT WE

DON'T WANT. >> I THINK THAT, I THINK THAT

-- >> THE OVERARCHING CONCERN WHICH ALL OF US SHARE IS, LIKE, THE UNKNOWN, RIGHT? IF THIS GIVES US SOME OPPORTUNITY TO PREVENT THE UNKNOWN, WE DON'T

[01:40:01]

US SOME -- >> TO ME THAT DOESN'T IMPEDE CORAL SPRINGS FROM OPERATING THEIR CITY. IT GIVES US THE BENEFIT TO PURCHASE IT BACK. YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH TRYING TO SEE IF THAT IS SOMETHING WE COULD

POTENTIALLY FASHION IN -- >> OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A TWO-PARTY AGREEMENT AND WILL HAVE TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION .

>> I WOULD DEFINITELY AGREE THAT WE SHOULD EXPLORE THAT. IT

MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. >> DO WE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION?

>> I'M GOING TO AMEND MY MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE I WILL CALL IT THE RECOMMENDATION, NOT REALLY A CONDITION, THAT LIFETIME CONSIDER THE $200,000 INITIAL DEPOSIT THAT OCCURS HARD AFTER THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD WITHOUT ANY RECOVERABILITY OR REFUND ABILITY AND THE EXPLANATION VOTE FOR BOTH PARTIES HAVE A RIGHT OF FIRST

REFUSAL IF AND WHEN LIFETIME -- >> NOT WIN.

>> IF A FITNESS CENTER THERE AND THEY LOOK TO SELL THE PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE THE OPTION OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

>> I WILL LOOK AT THAT AND JUST FOR CLARIFICATION ON THE $200,000 GOING HARD , BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE A $400,000 DEPOSIT POST DUE DILIGENCE, BUT AS I UNDERSTAND YOUR COMMENT, IT IS $200,000 NONREFUNDABLE EVEN IF THEY GET THEIR DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS DENIED, IS THAT RIGHT?

>> CORRECT. >> DO I HAVE A SECOND?

>> I, SINCE WE DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM LIFETIME FITNESS HERE, I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN IN 10 YEARS IF A LIFETIME SHOULD CLOSE , WHERE ARE WE, COULD YOU GIVE US A QUICK HISTORY OF HOW MANY YEARS LIFETIME HAS BEEN IN PRACTICE, HOW MANY LOCATIONS, AND HOW

MANY LOWE'S. >> WE HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR 30 YEARS. WE HAVE ABOUT 170+ LOCATIONS AT THIS POINT. WE HAVE NEVER CLOSED A LOCATION THAT WE BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP. WE HAVE CLOSED LOCATIONS THAT WE'VE ACQUIRED, FROM A SMALLER OPERATOR, AND THEN MOVE THOSE OPERATORS INTO A NEW CLUB THAT WE EVENTUALLY BUILD, BUT WE HAVE NEVER CLOSED A CLUB

THAT WE HAVE BUILT OURSELVES. >> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE FROM

THE PUBLIC? NO. GO AHEAD. >> MY NAME IS TINA. I AM A NEW RESIDENT TO HERON BAY . I WOULD LIKE TO START BY SAYING THAT IF A LIFETIME WOULD OPEN I WOULD JOIN, BUT AS A MOM I AM GENUINELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC . WHEN I DRIVE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING, IF I LEAVE BEFORE 7:30 TAKES ME 30 MINUTES, AND IF I LEAVE AFTER 7:35 IT TAKES ME ONE HOUR AND I EXPECT THAT THAT IS GOING TO GET EVEN WORSE. ARE THERE PLANS FROM THE CITY THAT WILL BE PUT INTO A CONTRACTOR PUT INTO WRITING AHEAD OF TIME, BECAUSE THE DATA IS ALREADY

THERE. >> THEY ARE REDOING THE INTERCHANGE, SO THE TRAFFIC ONHILL WILL NOT BE WHAT IT IS

TODAY. >> OKAY. AND THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD, THERE WAS AN IMPRESSIVE STATISTIC THAT NOT A SINGLE LIFETIME HAS CLOSED, BUT YOU HAVE STATS ON HOW MANY CONTRACTS ARE WHAT PERCENTAGE OF CONTRACTS YOU HAVE PULLED

OUT OF? >>

>> THANK YOU. >> OKAY.

>> MY NAME IS TONY. I LIVE AT 6870 NORTHWEST 116TH AVENUE IN HERON BAY. FROM , I KNOW THIS IS SOMETIMES VAGUE AS WE ARE TALKING TIMELINE MY TWO QUESTIONS. DO YOU ENVISION THE COURT OR OF HILL AS IT EXITS OUT OF PARKLAND , CORAL SPRINGS , AND TO THE HIGHWAY , DO YOU SEE THAT DONE BEFORE ANY OF

THIS? >> BASED ON THE TIMELINE , THEY CAN TALK BETTER, IT PROBABLY WILL HAPPEN CONCURRENTLY. YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE THE INTERCHANGE DONE FIRST, THEN YOU WILL HAVE LIFETIME, THEN YOU WILL HAVE OUR VILLAGE. THAT IS HOW I SEE. THE TIMING HOW I UNDERSTAND IT, THAT IS PROBABLY

THE DIRECTION. >> MY SECOND QUESTION IS , AND I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS BUYING ALL OF THIS DIRT . I THINK IT WAS BRILLIANT. I THINK IT IS A GREAT THING FOR THE CITY BECAUSE YOU CAN CONTROL IT. THE TOLL BROTHERS PROPERTY , YOU GUYS STILL OWN IT, BUT AS OF I JUST CHECKED THREE SECONDS AGO, PARKLAND STILL OWNS IT. WHEN DO THEY CLOSE? WINDOWS TOLL

BROTHERS ON THAT DIRT? >> I THINK THE ONLY FINAL APPROVAL LEFT IS THE PLAT APPROVAL AT THE COUNTY LEVEL. I DON'T KNOW IF HE CAN TELL ME WHEN THAT IS SCHEDULED. I THOUGHT THE LAST TIME WE TALKED YOU SAID LATE JANUARY EARLY FEBRUARY. MARCH? MARCH? SO WE WOULD CLOSE 30 DAYS AFTER THAT.

>> SO SOMEWHERE IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

>> YEAH. THE FIRST QUARTER OR MAYBE THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE

SECOND QUARTER. >> THANK YOU.

>> ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHT. I'M CLOSING TO THE PUBLIC.

THAT'S IT. LAST CHANCE. WE HAVE A MOTION BY VICE MAYOR

[01:45:01]

MURPHY-SALOMONE . ROLL CALL . . >>

>> PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES 4-1. COMMENTS BY THE BROWARD

SHERIFF'S OFFICE. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR , VICE MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, CITY MANAGER . I WANT TO START BY SAYING THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US IN COMING TO COFFEE WITH THE CHIEFS. IT WAS A GREAT EVENT FOR US TO OBVIOUSLY INTERACT WITH THE COMMUNITY, AND ALSO SEE THOSE , OUR PARTNER ON THE CORAL SPRINGS FIRE DEPARTMENT. IT WAS A NICE EVENT AND I THANK ALL OF YOU FOR COMING. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT WE HAVE AN ONGOING EVENT, A GUN BUYBACK PROGRAM AND WE ARE OFFERING GIFT CARDS FROM PUBLIX UP TO $200 FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TURN IN AN UNWANTED FIREARM, SO DEPENDING ON THE FIREARM THAT YOU TURN IN, YOU COULD RECEIVE UP TO $200 IN GIFT CARDS. I JUST WANTED TO ADVERTISE THAT. YOU CAN BRING IT BY TO THE DISTRICT OFFICE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 8:00 TO 4:00.

>> AND JUST SO WE UNDERSTAND FOR THE PUBLIC LISTENING , I TAKE IT IT IS A NO QUESTIONS ASKED, BRING IT IN, DROP IT

OFF, GET A GIFT CARD -- >> CORRECT.

>> WE TAKE A WORKING OR AND WORKING GUN OFF THE STREETS.

>> YOU CAN GIVE US YOUR NAME OR NOT GIVE US YOUR NAME. IT IS UP TO YOU. NOT MANY PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY AWARE, BUT WE DO HAVE FOLKS COME INTO THE OFFICE FAIRLY REGULARLY JUST TO TURN IN UNWANTED GUNS, GUNS THAT THEY HAVE AT THEIR HOME THAT THEY DON'T WANT ANYMORE FOR SAFETY REASONS. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO GET GUNS OFF OF THE STREET.

>> I THINK IT IS A GREAT PROGRAM. IF WE COULD PUSH OUT SOME SOCIAL MEDIA ON THAT, IT IS A GREAT PROGRAM.

>> I DO. I HAVE IT ON MY PAGE AND I WILL GET WITH TODD ON THAT SO WE CAN SHARE THAT INFORMATION. I ALSO WANTED TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT NOW DURING THE HOLIDAYS TO BE AWARE OF SCAMS. YOU KNOW THE POLICE WILL NEVER CALL YOU AND ASK YOU FOR MONEY. WE WILL NEVER TELL YOU YOU HAVE A WARRANT. WE WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR MONEY. THESE SCAMMERS ARE PRETTY SOPHISTICATED. THEY WILL SPOOF OUR LOBBY NUMBER. I WANT TO REITERATE THAT. I KNOW I TALKED ABOUT IT LAST TIME. AND THEN OUR OFFICE IS A SAFE EXCHANGE LOCATION, SO IF YOU ARE MEETING SOMEONE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW TO PURCHASE SOME TYPE OF ITEM, PLEASE SUGGEST THAT YOU MEET AT OUR PARKLAND DISTRICT OFFICE.

IT IS JUST A SAFER LOCATION. AND LASTLY I WANT TO REMIND FOLKS ABOUT OUR FREE VACATION WATCH PROGRAM IF YOU ARE GOING AWAY FOR THE HOLIDAYS, REMEMBER GIVE US A CALL OR YOU CAN GO TO PARKLAND AT SHERIFF.ORG AND LET US KNOW YOU ARE GOING OUT OF TOWN AND WE WILL WATCH YOUR HOME FOR YOU.

>> I ONLY HAVE ONE COMMENT AND I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. ONE OF THE THINGS WE STRIVE TO DO , AND WITH YOUR ADDITION TO OUR CITY I THINK IT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED VERY, VERY WELL, IS TO BRING MY COMMUNITY POLICING, A SENSE OF COMMUNITY INTO OUR POLICE FORCE. I DON'T KNOW HIS NAME, BUT I WANT TO COMMEND THE DEPUTY WHO PLAYED BASKETBALL WITH THE YOUNG KID.

I THINK IT, FIRST OF ALL , IT IS AN AMAZING PHOTO THAT HE DID NOT INTEND TO BE A PHOTO OP. I ALSO WANT TO PLAY BASKETBALL AGAINST HIM BECAUSE WITH ALL OF HIS EQUIPMENT I THINK I COULD TAKE HIM MAYBE, BUT I JUST WANT, IT IS THAT TYPE OF THING AND IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT YOU HAVE BROUGHT TO OUR CITY THAT I THINK IS INGRATIATED BSO IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND AND ITS RESIDENTS TO BE SYNERGISTIC, AND SO, KUDOS TO WHOMEVER THAT DEPUTY IS IF YOU WANT TO GIVE HIM A SHOUT OUT, BUT THANK YOU

FOR SETTING THE TONE. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER FOR RECOGNIZING THAT. THAT'S DEPUTY BASQUE AS ONE OF THE NEWER DEPUTIES WHO GOT OFF THE TRADING PROGRAM. HE WAS A CERTIFIED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WORKING AS AN INVESTIGATOR IN THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES. HE CAME ABOARD TO BSO . HE WAS IN OUR SHORT TRAINING PROGRAM AND NOW HE'S ON OUR OWN, AND IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE THAT.

>> AND IF YOU PLAYED BASKETBALL IN THE COLLEGIATE LEVEL I

RESEND THE INVITATION. >> PERSONALLY I WOULD RATHER HAVE SEEN HIM OUT WRITING TICKETS FOR GOLF CARTS.

>> OKAY, TOUCHÉ . >> ANYBODY ELSE?
