>> ALL IN FAVOR . ANY OPPOSED? PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. COMMENTS

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

>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I APOLOGIZE I COULDN'T BE THERE.

I WANTED TO AT LEAST START OFF BY SENDING OUR LOVE OUT TO ALL THOSE IN MADISON, WISCONSIN.

>> HOPEFULLY EVERYONE CAN CONTINUE TO RALLY AROUND THOSE CAUSES AND SUPPORT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN HARMED IN THIS TERRIBLE SHOOTING. BEYOND THAT, I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO ATTEND A COMBAT ANTI-SEMITISM MAYOR SUMMIT NEXT WEEK . THERE WAS AN ATTENDANCE OF OVER 225 OFFICIALS AND LEADERS. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE SIGHT TO SEE. EVERYONE GATHERED AROUND A UNITED CAUSE WHICH WAS NOT LIMITED TO COMBATING ANTI-SEMITISM BUT HATE IN GENERAL. THERE WAS SOME INCREDIBLE PANELS, ONE OF WHICH REALLY STRUCK A CHORD WITH ME BY AN ORGANIZATION CALLED PARENTS FOR PEACE. PARENTS FOR PEACE WAS BASICALLY DESIGNED AND CREATED BY A MUSLIM WOMAN WHO WAS RAISED BY A MUSLIM FATHER AND CHRISTIAN MOTHER.

SHE WAS NEVER ACCEPTED BY EITHER AND ALWAYS WAS KIND OF BY HATE AND BULLYING WHICH LED HER TO CREATE THIS FOUNDATION THAT HAS ALLOWED HER TO TAKE ON THE ROLE OF THE RADICALIZING EXTREMISM, WHETHER IT IS KIDS WHO FOUND THE NEED TO EITHER TURN TO VIOLENCE OR THOSE OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL WHO HAVE BECOME SO RADICALIZED AND ONE OF THEM ACTUALLY TURNING A FORMER AND TO SOMEONE NOW DEDICATING HIS LIFE TO GOING OUT AND TEACHING AND EDUCATING ABOUT THE NEED TO ERADICATE HATE AND ALL OF ITS FORMS . IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF TOOLS AND THINGS SHARED BY MAYORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT I HOPE WE CAN BRING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY. THE FORTUNATE THING IS UNLIKE SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES THERE AND SHARED THEIR STORIES, WE HAVE ONE OF THE MOST ACCEPTING AND DIVERSE COMMUNITIES OUT OF EVERYONE I'VE HEARD FROM THERE. WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE WORK TO DO, THAT IS THE NATURE OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT . WE ARE FORTUNATE WE DON'T HAVE NEARLY AS MUCH TO DO WITH OTHERS. FROM THERE, I WENT TO THE HATE AND NOW EXHIBIT FOR THE INSIGHT EDUCATION PROGRAM. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE SPECIALTHANKS TO SHARON CUTLER FOR HELPING ORGANIZE THAT. OF COURSE THE LIBRARY AND FOR HELPING TO ALSO BRING IT TO THE LIBRARY AND HELP PROVIDE SOME RESOURCES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXHIBIT. I THINK WE ONE OF THE HIGHEST ATTENDEE RATES OF ANY TOWN THEY BROUGHT IT TO WHICH ALSO GOES TO SHOW THE INTEREST OUR COMMUNITY HAS AND NOT ONLY CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL ASPECTS BUT THE DESIRE TO WANT TO CONTINUOUSLY ALWAYS BRING UNITY TOGETHER AND KIND OF EDUCATE, WHICH I THINK

[00:05:01]

LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, I KNOW IT'S PREMATURE, BUT I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T WISH HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DAUGHTER MAIA TURNING FIVE TOMORROW AND MY SON PARKER TURNING EIGHT ON FRIDAY. ALSO, TO OUR GREAT MAYOR, A BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I THINK HE TURNED 37 . CONGRATULATIONS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. I WANT TO ECHO MANY OF THE VICE MAYOR'S COMMENTS. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT OUR HEARTS AND MINDS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILIES IN MADISON, WISCONSIN. MY HOPE AND PRAYER IS THIS GOES BEYOND WISHES AND THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AND WE ACTUALLY START TAKING SOME ACTION TO MAKE SURE WHEN OUR TEACHERS, STUDENTS GO TO SCHOOL THAT THEY ARE SAFE , THEY COME HOME AND THAT NO COMMUNITY HAS TO DEAL WITH WHAT WE AND MEDICINE AND SO MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH. SWITCHING GEARS TO MORE POSITIVE I WANT TO WISH HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR CONGRESSMEN.

TODAY'S HIS BIRTHDAY SO I WANT TO WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT. WE HAVE AN AMAZING COMMUNITY AND PARKLAND, A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO, AT TIMES, JUST TO DO GOOD OR COOL THINGS GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO EMBRACE THE COMMUNITY, SHALL LOVE, THAT LOVES THEM AND THEY LOVE SO MUCH AND I WANT TO GIVE THANK YOU. THE FOLKS AT THE FARMS WHO DON'T KNOW LISA THEIR FAMILY STARTED WONDERLUST COFFEE BUT AS A SPINOFF OF THAT, SCOTT GOT SOME CRAZY IDEA TO BE SANTA CLAUS AND GO THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT COULDN'T DO THIS THIS YEAR, BUT WITH THE HELP OF OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND SO MANY OTHERS INCLUDING THE FOLKS AT THE FARMS AND THE FAMILY, THEY DONNED OUTFITS, GOT A SLEIGH AND WENT TO OUR COMMUNITY AND BROUGHT SOME JOY TO THE FAMILIES AND PARKLAND. I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THAT. AS THE VICE MAYOR SAID THE CATTLE CAR EXHIBIT WAS PHENOMENAL. I WANT TO THANK ETHAN AND MALLORY. SHARON CUTLER, FRIENDS OF THE PARKLAND LIBRARY, SHERRY KIMBALL AND ALL THOSE INVOLVED.

THEY BROUGHT A CATTLE CAR TO EDUCATE FOLKS ON THE HOLOCAUST AND WHAT THOSE WERE USED FOR DURING THE HOLOCAUST. IT WAS A 20 MINUTE PRESENTATION THAT WAS VERY POWERFUL AND IMPACTFUL.

THEY'VE GONE AROUND THE COUNTRY. REALLY AN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY THAT NOT MANY COMMUNITIES LIKE OURS HAVE TO LEARN ABOUT THIS. I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR BRINGING THAT TO PARKLAND. WE HAD AN AMAZING LIGHT OF THE PARK EVENT. I WANT TO THANK THE PARKS AND REC FOLKS . CHRISTINA AND HER STAFF WERE PUTTING ON FELICIA AND EVERYONE FOR PUTTING ON AN AMAZING EVENT WELL IMPRESSED BY THE COMMUNITY AS IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING BETTER EVERY YEAR. WE HAVE A SNOW FEST COMING UP TOMORROW. FOR THOSE COMING OUT FOR THAT, IT'S ALWAYS A GREAT EVENT. I'M TRYING TO SEE IF I CAN GET SOME PRIOR COMMISSIONERS TO COME OUT AND GO DOWN BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO ENJOY IT THAN FIVE-YEAR-OLDS. WE HAD OUR EMPLOYEE HOLIDAY PARTY WHICH WAS A WONDERFUL EVENT PUT ON BY OUR CITY STAFF AND A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE FOLKS HERE AND CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS WITH THEM. I KNOW THE STAFF ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH. I WANT TO WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY HOLIDAYS , HAPPY HANUKKAH, KWANZAA, NEW YEAR FOR THOSE THAT CELEBRATE.

WITH THAT, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO BE BRIEF BUT I WANT TO ECHO THE SENTIMENTS OF THE PRIOR COMMISSIONERS AND VICE MAYOR ABOUT THE HAPPENINGS IN MADISON, WISCONSIN. MY SORROWS TO ANYONE AFFECTED BY THAT. ONE MORE IS TOO MANY EVENTS LIKE THIS. THEY NEED TO COME TO A STOP. LAST WEEKEND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY WITH SOME MEMBERS OF OUR COMMISSION GO TO THE SOS CHILDREN'S VILLAGE IN COCONUT

[00:10:01]

SHARON CUTLER, THE LIBRARY STAFF , ESPECIALLY MALLORY AND ETHAN FOR BEING THE STUDENTS THAT PUT THIS TOGETHER. IT WAS 20 MINUTES OF DIFFICULT TO WATCH BUT IMPORTANT TO SEE MATERIAL. I WAS MOVED VERY MUCH SO. THIS PAST MONDAY, AS THE VICE MAYOR TALKED ABOUT WAS FULL COMPLEMENTED GAMES, FOOD, RIDE , ENTERTAINMENT . THE KIDS PERFORMING WERE A BLAST. THE WEATHER BARELY HELD UP BUT IT DID HOLD UP WHICH IS GREAT. WE TALKED ABOUT SNOW FEST TOMORROW. THIS FRIDAY ANYBODY IN PINES TREE ESTATES IT DOES GO TO VARIOUS HOUSES IN THE CITY. LOOK ON FACEBOOK GROUPS FOR WHOIS HOUSING AT THIS MONTH. I KNOW IT'S IN TWO DAYS. WE HAVE THE FAMILY FUN FEST CARNIVAL PRIOR TO OUR NEXT MEETING. JANUARY 10TH TO 12.

GET YOUR KIDS THERE, IT'LL BE A LOT OF FUN.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANKS. YEAH. I NEED TO ALSO ECHO THE COMMENTS REGARDING THE TRAGEDY IN MADISON, WISCONSIN.

I WOULD SAY ON A PROMISING AND WHAT DO WE SAY? A BRIGHTER NOTE, THEY'VE DONE SO MUCH FOR THIS COMMUNITY, THE STATE, THE COUNTRY AND OF COURSE HER CREW AND FAMILY. LORI IS HERE TONIGHT AND I DO THINK HER SO MUCH. I ALSO HAD THE HONOR OF ATTENDING ON THE SIXTH THE SEVENTH ANNUAL MAKE OUR SCHOOLS SAFE FUNDRAISER . WE DELIVERED A PROCLAMATION ON MAKING DECEMBER 6TH MAKE OUR SCHOOL I WAS SO IMPRESSED BY THAT OOL.- EVENT. I'M NOT A TENNIS PLAYER BUT I WISH I WERE FOR THAT ALONE. I ATTENDED A REALLY NICE LUNCHEON FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS ALONG WITH MAYOR WALKER. SOME OFFICIALS I HAD NOT MET BEFORE.

IT WAS NICE TO SEE MAYOR BROOKS. ALSO HAD MY ORIENTATION AND FIRST MEETING AS POLICE PENSION TRUSTEE FOR THE BOARD.

ATTENDED SOME HOLIDAY DINNERS. HEATHER DOES SO MUCH FOR COMMUNITY . FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HER, I THINK MOST DO. SHE DOES SO MUCH FOR SO MANY. IT WAS A REALLY NICE HOLIDAY DINNER . THANK YOU TO THE CREW FOR MAKING THAT SO SPECIAL. HOLIDAY LUNCHEON AS THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS AND MENTIONED THE EMPLOYEE PARKLAND HOLIDAY LUNCHEON WAS AWESOME, VERY SPECIAL, LOTS OF FUN. LIGHT UP THE PARK . IT WAS AN HONOR TO FLIP THAT SWITCH WITH THE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS AND TO SEE SO MANY PARKLAND RESIDENTS OUT THERE AND HAVE A PICTURE WITH SANTA. THE FARMERS MARKET WAS AMAZING. WE GIVE THE FAMILY A LOT OF CREDIT FOR STARTING WONDERLUST AND THE OTHER DRINKS ARE AMAZING. THE CATTLE CAR EXHIBIT, VERY MOVING. SO IMPORTANT. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THAT HAPPEN.

OBVIOUSLY THIS TIME OF YEAR IS A LOT OF CELEBRATIONS GOING ON.

IT'S WONDERFUL TO HEAR ALL THE COMMISSIONERS TALK ABOUT ALL THE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND, HOW ARE THE STAFF WORKS TO MAKE SURE THE RESIDENTS CAN ENJOY THIS TIME OF YEAR . AS SAID EARLIER, 2024 AS FAR AS THE CITY IS CONCERNED HAS BEEN A FANTASTIC YEAR FOR US. WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED A LOT OF GREAT THINGS. I'M VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO 2025. IF 2025 IS NEARLY AS GOOD AS 2024 WE ARE GOING TO BE IN EVEN BETTER SHAPE THAN WE ARE NOW. THE HOLIDAY PARTY FOR STAFF IS ALWAYS AN ENJOYABLE THING FOR ME. IT SHOWS HOW MUCH STAFF IS TOGETHER AND ON THE SAME PAGE.

I THINK THAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL. A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH NANCY AND HER LEADERSHIP AND OBVIOUSLY HER EXECUTIVE TEAM THAT DOES SUCH A GREAT JOB FOR THE RESIDENTS OF PARKLAND. THANK YOU FOR THAT. THIS IS OUR LAST MEETING OF THE YEAR SO I WANT TO WISH EVERYBODY HAPPY HOLIDAYS WHATEVER IT IS YOU CELEBRATE AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO 2025. I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO FRANK .

THIS IS HIS LAST MEETING TODAY. HE WAS OUR FIRE CHIEF. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL YET, THE CITY MANAGER FOR MILL SPRINGS. HE'S BEEN AN AMAZING PUBLIC SERVANT NOT JUST A CORAL SPRINGS BUT TO PARKLAND AS WELL AS THE CORAL SPRINGS PARKLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT CHIEF FOR MANY YEARS. BEST OF LUCK TO HIM AND WHATEVER HIS FUTURE HOLDS. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY HAVE THEIR MEETING AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE MEETING SO WE DID SEND OVER OUR REGARDS IN A VIDEO. NOT SURE WHAT THE VIDEO LOOKS LIKE, BUT TODD MADE IT . WE WERE ALL IN IT SO I'M SURE IT WAS FANTASTIC. I'M SURE FRANK IS VERY EXCITED TO SEE OUR

FACES. >> WITH THAT , WE WILL MOVE ON

WE FIRMLY BELIEVE IN INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE AND THERE IS NO MORE PURE WAY OF DOING SO THAN CONTRIBUTING FINANCIALLY TO THIS SUCCESS OF THE SCHOOLS THAT CARE FOR OUR CHILDREN. THE PRINCIPLES MAKE IT EASY TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE FUNDING AS THEY CONTINUE TO ENSURE OUR SCHOOLS ARE STRONG DESPITE THE MANY CHALLENGES THEY FACE YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT. WE ARE PROUD OF OUR PRINCIPLES, PROUD OF OUR TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF AND WE ARE PROUD OF OUR PARKLAND'S CHILDREN WHO CONTINUE TO EXCEL UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP. WE REGULARLY RECOGNIZE STUDENTS FOR THEIR ACADEMIC AND ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENTS AT OUR COMMISSION MEETINGS, WE KNOW IT STEMS FROM GREAT WORK DONE BY COACHES, TEACHERS, EMPLOYEES AND PRINCIPALS .

PARKLAND DASH . >>

[00:25:26]

>> YEAH. >> TODD KNOWS I HAVE A HARD TIME READING. THE WORDS ARE GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER. HE PRINTS IT BIGGER FOR ME . I'M NOT SURE IT'S BIG ENOUGH.

OBVIOUSLY, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE MOST PROUD OF IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND IS OUR SCHOOLS. THAT'S ALL OF YOU.

EVERYBODY WHO STANDS HERE TODAY. THAT'S WHAT MAKES PARKLAND . OUR SCHOOLS ARE FANTASTIC. BECAUSE YOUR LEADERSHIP WHICH CINDY SAID EARLIER, YOU GET THE PARENTS ENGAGED, EVERYBODY ENGAGED, THERE'S SO MANY NAMES FOR THEM NOW. WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO BECAUSE THE SCHOOLS IS WHAT SEPARATES PARKLAND FROM EVERY OTHER CITY. AS AN EDUCATOR WHEN YOU'RE IN THE TRENCHES EVERY DAY COUNTS.

EVERY MOMENT OF INSTRUCTION, EVERY ASSEMBLY, EVERY ASSESSMENT AND EVERY SESSION COUNTS. WHAT ARE PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATORS AND ADMINISTRATORS DO EVERY DAY CASTS A MOLD FOR THE POSSIBILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE FOR OUR CHILDREN AS THEY ADVANCED TO THE NEXT GRADE LEVEL AND ONTO POST-K-12 EXPERIENCES. WHEN YOU'RE IN THE TRENCHES YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS FEEL THE TRIUMPH OR REWARD, WHAT YOUR WORK HAS LED TO THIS MOMENT OF ACHIEVEMENT AND DISTINCTION. EARLIER IN THE FALL , THE FLORIDA STATE OF EDUCATION ANNOUNCED THAT 43 BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS WHERE DESIGNATED AS SCHOOLS OF EXCELLENCE. THESE SCHOOLS EARNED DISTINCTION BY SCORING IN THE 80TH PERCENTILE OR HIGHER IN THEIR GRADE CALCULATION COMPARED TO SCHOOLS IN THE SAME GREAT GROUP FOR AT LEAST TWO OF THE PAST THREE SCHOOL YEARS. BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT DR. HOWARD HEPBURN CALLED THIS A PRESTIGIOUS RECOGNITION THAT HONORS THE HARDWARE, TALENT AND PERSEVERANCE OF THE STUDENTS AND THEIR TEACHERS AND STAFF.

ALL OF THE BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN PARKLAND, ARE AMONG THE SCHOOLS THAT HAVE EARNED THIS DISTINCTION. HERON HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY LED BY JENNIFER MCGREEVY, HARR TRAIL'S ELEMENTARY , RIVER GLADES ELEMENTARY , WEST GLADES MIDDLE SCHOOL AND MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS LED BY MICHELLE. WE ARE ALL SO GRATEFUL FOR THE ONGOING EFFORTS AND SUPPORT OF THE NORTH REGIONAL SUPERINTENDENTS OFFICE AND WE ARE HAPPY THAT NORTH REGIONAL SUPERINTENDENT DR. JERMAINE FLEMING AND HIS TEAM COULD BE HERE WITH US TODAY TO CELEBRATE THIS ACHIEVEMENT. THE SCHOOLS OF EXCELLENCE PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED BY FLORIDA LEGISLATURE IN 2017 TO RECOGNIZE HIGH-PERFORMING SCHOOLS . SCHOOLS THAT INITIALLY QUALIFY FOR THE DESIGNATION CAN RETAIN IT UP TO THREE YEARS. AFTER WHICH THEY MAY RENEW IT . BENEFITS OF THE DESIGNATION INCLUDE INCREASED AUTONOMY, ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND PRIORITY IN STATE FUNDING.

WE ARE INCREDIBLY PROUD OF OUR BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND CITY COMMISSION, CONGRATULATIONS FOR BEING ACADEMIC EXEMPLARS THROUGHOUT BROWARD COUNTY AND IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND. MIND YOU, COMMISSIONER CUTLER SENT ME A MESSAGE THROUGH SOMEONE WHO SENT HIM A MESSAGE. THESE TEACHERS AND OBVIOUSLY ADMINISTRATORS START WORK AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING. THEY ARE HILL STILL TODAY WORKING, THAT'S THEIR DEDICATION TO OUR STUDENTS AND OUR FAMILIES IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND AND WE CANNOT APPRECITE AND THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. FOR EVERYONE. WITH THAT, WE HAVE THIS. YOU CAN HAVE THAT. ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US.

[00:30:44]

>> SO, MAKE OUR SCHOOLS SAFE. THIS DIVISION OF FUNDS RAISED BY PARKLAND --, ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL EVENT IN WHICH THE COMMUNITY CAME TOGETHER FOR A COMMON CAUSE. WE NOT ONLY SOUGHT TO HAVE A HEALTHY EVENT IN THE OUTDOORS BUT TO RAISE MONEY FOR A WORTHY CAUSE. MAKE OUR SCHOOL SAFE IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO PROTECTING STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AT SCHOOL. THEIR MISSION IS TO EMPOWER STUDENTS AND STAFF TO HELP CREATE AND MAINTAIN A CULTURE OF SAFETY AND VIGILANCE IN A SECURE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. CREATED AFTER THE TRAGEDY AT MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL ON FAIRBURY 14TH 2018 , MAKE OUR SCHOOL SAFE IS DEDICATED TO DRIVING AND GUIDING BEST PRACTICES IN SCHOOL SAFETY.

THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE PARKLAND --, THANK YOU TO ALL SPONSORS OF THE EVENT AND THANK YOU TO MAKE OUR SCHOOL SAFE FOR ALL THAT YOU CONTINUE TO DO TO HELP CREATE AND MAINTAIN A CULTURE OF SAFETY AND VIGILANCE IN A SECURE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT.

>> ALL RIGHT. THERE GOES OUR PUBLIC. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA.

[7. Approval of the Agenda]

[9. Regular Agenda]

>> THANK YOU. RESOLUTION 2024-0 41 CITY HALL GENERATOR REPLACEMENT. RESOLUTION THE CITY COMMISSION THE CITY OF PARKLAND FLORIDA APPROVING THE PIGGYBACK OF SOURCEWELL CONTRACT MEMBER 09222-CMM FOR ELECTRICAL AND ENERGY POWER GENERATION EQUIPMENT WITH RELATED ART SUPPLIES AND SERVICES THROUGH THEIR AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR POWER SYSTEMS INC. TO REPLACE THE GENERATOR AT CITY HALL FOR A TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF 160,000 DYERS FOR FIGHTING FOR EXECUTION PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> I DIDN'T WANT TO BE READ.

>> SOMEBODY HAS 807. DO I HAVE A SECOND? ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC? WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER BREYER,

ROLL CALL. >>

>> PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> RESOLUTION 2024-088 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS REGARDING A .5 ACRES. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA APPROVING INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS FOR THE TRANSFER LOCAL LAND-USE

[00:35:01]

DATE. >> HAPPY TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW.

THIS ESSENTIALLY DOES TWO THINGS. IT PROVIDES THE CONSIDERATION TO THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS IN TERMS OF LOST FUTURE TAX REVENUE IF THE ANNEXATION OF ADEN HAVE ACRES GOES THROUGH SO THE CONSIDERATION FIGURE IS IN HERE. ADDITIONALLY, IT AUTHORIZES THE TRANSFER OF LOCAL LAND-USE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW . ONCE THE ANNEXATION IS APPROVED WHILE WAITING FOR IT TO BE EFFECTIVE IT COULD BE APPROVED APRIL OR MAY. THERE IS A FOUR OR FIVE MONTH WINDOW WAITING FOR IT TO BE EFFECTIVE THAT WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE LOCAL LAND-USE AMENDMENT AND THE LAND-USE AMENDMENT AT THE COUNTY LEVEL DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME. IT WOULD BE TO CHANGE THOSE PARCELS TO COMMERCIAL.

>> QUESTION. IF FOR SOME REASON EITHER BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ABLE TO MEET SOME CONTINGENCIES WHERE WE POSTPONE SUBMITTING IT OR IT DOESN'T GET APPROVED DOES THIS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT STAY IN EFFECT EVEN IF WE WORK TOWARDS ANNEXATION NEXT YEAR?

>> IF THE ANNEXATION DOES NOT GO THROUGH THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT TERMINATES. THE CONSIDERATION THE CITY WOULD PAY CORAL SPRINGS IS ONLY DO WITH THE ANNEXATION IS APPROVED AND BECOMES EFFECTIVE. IT WOULD BE DUE 30 DAYS THERE AFTER THE

EFFECTIVE DATE. >> I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS WE PUSHED TO GET THIS THROUGH HIS SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR PLANNING AND ZONING FOR THE VILLAGE.

>> IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO REACH AN AGREEMENT WITH THE OTHER PROJECT THEN WE WILL HAVE TO PUNT TOWARDS NEXT YEAR .

>> RIGHT. IT COULD DELAY THE VILLAGE. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US SO THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR PROJECT , NOT THAT WE CAN PARTNER WITH CORAL SPRINGS AND WORK EFFECTIVELY, JUST IT IS MUCH EASIER TO DO IT IN OUR CITY.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING? ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC? DOES ANYONE HAVE A MOTION?

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> I WILL SECOND THE ANNEXATION. MY CONCERNS ARE WITH THE CONTINGENCY. WE WILL GET TO THAT WITH REGARDS TO SECTION G. ITEM G. SORRY.

>> OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AND A SECOND.

COMMISSIONER BREYER. ROLL CALL. >>

>> THESE RESTROOMS I ASSUME WOULD MATCH WHAT WAS DONE? WELL-RECEIVED? FOR THOSE LISTENING PARK TRAILS IS GOING TO BE ON OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING TO DISCUSS BECAUSE AS OF NOW THERE IS NO OFFICIAL PLAN, BUT I KNOW AFTER TARA MAR I KNOW THE RESIDENTS ARE EXCITED TO SEE US PROGRESS WITH THE OTHER RESTROOMS. IT IS A GAME CHANGER. ANYBODY WHO GOES ANYWHERE BUT IF YOU GO TO ANY OTHER LOCAL PARKS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LOOK AT IS THE RESTROOMS. TO HAVE THAT NEXT LEVEL OF RESTROOMS REALLY MAKES AN IMPACT, BECAUSE WE GET A LOT OF VISITORS OUT OF TOWN, WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS WHO USE THAT AND TO HAVE AIR CONDITIONING, TO HAVE NICE MARBLE, TO JUST HAVE EVERYTHING REFRESHED AND NEW AND HIGHER END. TO ME IT IS AN ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER. ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE CERTAINLY DONE AS A COMMISSION IS WE HAVE REALLY FOCUSED OR WANTED TO FOCUS ON ADDING FUNDS AND MAINTAINING OUR PARKS. ADDING LANDSCAPING AND JUST DOING DIFFERENT THINGS, FIXING OUR FIELDS AND REALLY ELEVATING

[00:40:02]

>> WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS WITH THE PLAYGROUND SO THIS ROLLS RIGHT INTO IT. WITH YOUR EFFORTS THAT'S WHY THIS ITEM IS BEFORE YOU.

>> FOR ME, ALL OF OUR PARKS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE BUT THIS IN PARTICULAR IS A COMMUNITY PARK. ONE OF THE GUYS WHO CHAMPIONED THIS AND HELPED TO STUFF IN THE PARK IS IN THE

BACK. MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC? SEEING NONE WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AND A SECOND. ROLL CALL.

>> RESOLUTION 2024-100 , ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR PINE TREE ESTATES ROADWAY RESURFACING. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA, APPROVING KEITH, INC. TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE PINE TREE ESTATES ROADWAY RESURFACING PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $230,000; PROVIDING FOR EXECUTION; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

>> GOOD EVENING. THIS RESOLUTION IS FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR PINE TREE ESTATES. KEITH AND ASSOCIATES RECEIVED AN AGREEMENT BACK IN 2023. THIS WOULD BE WORK AUTHORIZATION NUMBER 10. THIS AUTHORIZATION INCLUDES CONSTRUCTION , SURVEY SERVICES, CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES AND CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION AND ENGINEERING. THE ESTIMATED FEE FOR THE SERVICES ARE $230,000 . STAFF RECOMMENDS THE APPROVAL OF THIS RESOLUTION . NEXT STEPS, GEOTECH CREWS WILL BE ON-SITE THIS WEEK . THEY WILL BE USING THIS DATA TO CREATE THE FDR MIXED DESIGN. THE CITY WILL THEN COMPLETE PLANS AND DOCUMENTS CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS. WE WILL CONDUCT COMMUNITY OUTREACH BETWEEN Q1 AND Q2 OF 2025. WE ESTIMATE WE CAN ADVERTISE FOR CONSTRUCTION IN Q2 OF 2025 . THANK YOU.

>> AS MANY TIMES AS I CAN SAY IT, I WILL. KUDOS TO YOU FOR COMING UP WITH THIS NEW METHOD TO DO THE ROADS. NOT ONLY WILL IT SAVE TIME BUT IT'LL ALSO SAVE MONEY FOR RESIDENTS OF PINETREE. AGAIN, A PLOT NOT JUST YOU IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION, BUT OUR STAFF ALWAYS GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND. WE DON'T JUST APPROVE SOMETHING AND GO WITH THE STATUS QUO.

STAFF IS ALWAYS LOOKING TO BETTER FIND CHEAPER WAYS, FIND BETTER WAYS TO IMPROVE WHATEVER IT IS WE ARE DOING HERE IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND. KUDOS TO YOU. THIS IS A HUGE HOME RUN. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR MANY YEARS. OUR PREVIOUS COMMISSION , THIS IS SOMETHING WE WANTED TO ADDRESS BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN OUT THERE AND HASN'T BEEN SETTLED.

WE TOOK IT UPON OURSELVES TO MAKE SURE THIS IS SOMETHING WE DID SETTLE. WE HAVE. NOW STAFF HAS TAKEN IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

NOT ONLY ARE WE GOING TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT BUT WE ARE GOING TO COMPLETE IT CHEAPER AND FASTER THAN WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH , EVERYBODY, FOR ALWAYS WORKING FOR THE BETTERMENT OF OUR RESIDENTS IN THE CITY.

>> I DON'T WANT TO BE REDUNDANT BUT I DON'T THINK IT CAN BE ECHOED ENOUGH. LIKE YOU SAID, THIS HAD BEEN AN ISSUE LINGERING FOR 34 YEARS IF NOT LONGER. THE RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN SO FRUSTRATED WITH WHERE WE WERE. IT IS NOT AN EASY TASK TO TRY TO GET TO A SOLUTION ON OUR PART OR THEIR PART. WITH THE HELP OF ANTHONY AND OUR COUNSEL AND THE PRIOR COMMISSION AND THE RESIDENTS INCLUDING SOME RESIDENTS WHO STEPPED UP AND TOOK LEADERSHIP ROLES, WE WERE ABLE TO GET THIS DONE. THE FACT THAT OUR STAFF DIDN'T STOP THERE AND DECIDED WE WANTED TO DO THE PROJECT WELL, BUT ALSO NOT MAKE IT AS ADVERSE OF A FINANCIAL IMPACT I THINK ALSO SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY MENTALITY. I DO APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE. NANCY AND THE ENTIRE STAFF , PROCUREMENT AND

[00:45:02]

PAINFUL. >> THANK YOU. AS THE PINETREE RESIDENT ON THE DAIS I WANT TO APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK DONE TO DO THIS FOR US. HE WENT THERE WAS LIKE REALLY QUICKLY ABOUT TIMING. YOU DO EXPECT THE ENGINEERING PROCESS TO BE COMPLETED AND THE BID TO GO TO THE STREET Q2 OF 2025, EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. MOTION TO APPROVE.

484105010134 AND 484106000085, AS A GREEN REUSE AREA PURSUANT TO SECTION 376.80(2)(A), FLORIDA STATUTES, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL REHABILITATION, JOB CREATION, AND PROMOTING ECONOMIC REDEVELOPMENT; AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF PARKLAND TO NOTIFY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF SAID DESIGNATION; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. I GAVE AN EXTENSIVE OVERVIEW ON THIS ITEM WHEN WE HEARD IT ON THE FIRST HEARING TWO WEEKS AGO. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

>> I THINK JUST A BRIEF DESCRIPTION IS ESSENTIALLY , THIS IS ALLOWING THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY , WHICH WILL BE % FOR THE 21 ACRES, BUT WILL ALSO MOVE OVER TO THE PROPERTY WE OWN . IT'S GOING TO OFFER CREDITS TO WHOEVER DEVELOPS THAT LAND FOR A CLEANUP. IT WAS A GOLF COURSE. THERE IS CLEANUP THAT IS HAD AND THIS IS A PROCESS THAT ALLOWS SOME ADDITIONAL CREDITS. HOWEVER THOSE LOOK WHETHER MONETARY OR EASEMENT AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING BUT THIS OFFERS THOSE

CREDITS. >> TAX INCENTIVES TO THE DEVELOPERS WHO ACTUALLY PERFORM THE ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION.

THERE IS A SITE ACCESS AGREEMENT. THE CITY WILL STILL ON THE PARCEL WE ARE UNDER CONTRACT TO SELL TO TOLL FOR PROBABLY APPROXIMATELY THREE OR FOUR MONTHS. DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME THERE IS A SITE ACCESS AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY AND STATE THAT WILL GIVE ACCESS SO THEY CAN MONITOR TOLLS, ACTIVITIES. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO APPROVE THE ITEM I WOULD ASK YOU APPROVE A MOTION OR INCLUDE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE CITY

MANAGER TO EXECUTE. >> DO WE NEED RECIPROCAL ACCESS FOR MONITORING ? WILL THAT COME LATER WITH DEVELOPMENT?

>> THAT WOULD COME LATER. AT SOME POINT IF A FUTURE DEVELOPER OF LET'S SAY THE VILLAGE WANTED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS PROGRAM THEY WOULD THEMSELVES ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH I THINK THE COUNTY AND STATE DEP AS WELL AND THE RESPONSIBILITIES WOULD BE WE COULD POTENTIALLY ENTER INTO A SIMILAR SITE ACCESS AGREEMENT WHERE TECHNICALLY WE STILL OWN THE PROPERTY AND THE STATE AND COUNTY NEED ACCESS TO

MONITOR THOSE ACTIVITIES. >> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC?

>> MOTION TO APPROVE ALONG WITH THE AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO

THE ACCESS AGREEMENT. >> I WILL SECOND. THANKS TO THE PARTNERSHIP WE CREATED WITH THIS PROJECT IT JUST CONTINUES.

I KNOW SCOTT IS HERE BUT LINDSAY IS NOT. I WANT TO THANK THE TOLL BROTHERS FOR THEIR PARTNERSHIP.

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

>>

>> ORDINANCE 2024-015, SALE OF APPROXIMATELY 9.3 ACRES OF LAND TO LIFETIME FITNESS LCF REAL ESTATE COMPANY, SECOND READING.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA, APPROVING A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT WITH LTF REAL ESTATE COMPANY, INC. 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 "1"; AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT WITH LTF REAL ESTATE COMPANY, INC. FOR THE SALE IN THE AMOUNT OF $6,000,000.00 FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS FACILITY WITH ASSOCIATED AMENITIES, CONTINGENT UPON THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS; PROVIDING FOR IMPLEMENTATION, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THIS IS SECOND READING. AT FIRST READING I

[00:50:07]

THOSE APPROVALS ARE DENIED OR IF STAFF PROVIDES RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL COULD TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT AND DEPOSIT BACK. AT THE LAST MEETING WE TALK ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF IF SOME CONDITIONS ARE ADDED TO THOSE APPROVALS.

THESE ARE CONDITIONS WHICH ARE LISTED AS MATERIAL CONDITIONS.

THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW SUCH AS YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR COST RECOVERY FEES WHERE YOU HAVE TO PAY THE IMPACT FEES REQUIRED BY LAW THAT THESE WOULD BE CONDITIONS ADDED BY CORAL SPRINGS ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT AND WILL BE TALKED ABOUT AT THE LAST MEETING AS WE HAD A BLANK FOR NOW AND PARTIES WERE STILL NEGOTIATING SO THAT HAS BEEN FILLED IN WITH THE FRESH WHOLE DOLLAR AMOUNT OF $200,000. JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. THAT WAS ONE OF THE CHANGES. IF THE CONDITIONS COST LESS THAN THAT THEN THE PROVISION WOULD BE TRIGGERED. AS LONG AS THEY GET THEIR DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL THE TERMINATION RATE WOULD GO AWAY. LET'S SAY CORAL SPRINGS SAYS WE ARE CONDITIONING OUR APPROVAL AND YOU PURCHASING TWO FIRE TRUCKS FOR US, THE CUMULATIVE COST IS $800,000 THAT COULD POTENTIALLY GIVE THEM THE ABILITY TO TERMINATE .

THE SECOND ONE IS ARTICLE 14.2, TIGHTENING EXISTING LANGUAGE.

THIS IS REGARDING IF THE CITY DEFAULT. THIS IS THE SCENARIO WHERE LIFETIME DID EVERYTHING THEY WERE REQUIRED TO DO, THEY GET THEIR DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS AND ARE READY TO CLOSE AFTER THE CITY REFUSES TO CLOSE FOR WHATEVER REASON THERE IS A PROVISION THERE THAT LIFETIME COULD RECOVER THE COST THEY INVESTED UP TO $1.5 MILLION. IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE AS WELL IS THE CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE THE CITY DEFAULTED ON THE AGREEMENT WHERE WE DID SOME INTENTIONAL ACT THAT PREVENTED THEM FROM MOVING FORWARD WITH THOSE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS. THE WORD WILLFUL WAS ADDED TO MAKE IT CLEAR THERE NEEDS TO BE INTENTIONAL ACT, NOT SOMETHING BY MISTAKE. WE GRANTED EASEMENT IN THE INTERIM OVER THE WHOLE ENTIRE SITE TO SOME NEW PROPERTY OWNER OR SOME OTHER PROPERTY OWNER NOT EXISTENCE IN THIS TIME. NOW LIFETIME CAN'T DO ANYTHING. AS AN EXAMPLE. THE FINAL THING WAS BASED ON ONE OF THE REQUESTS . ARTICLE 15.2 AT THE VERY END OF AGREEMENT WAS ADDED. IT IS A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. THAT WOULD BE IF THE TRANSACTION GOES THROUGH AND IT WOULD BE RECORDING THE PUBLIC RECORD AT CLOSING, IT WOULD GIVE THE CITY THE RIGHT BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION FOR A 20 YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING THE CLOSING TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY BACK FROM LIFETIME FOR THE SAME TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ANY BONA FIDE OFFER THEY RECEIVE THEY INTENDED TO ACCEPT. THERE'S A PROCESS. THEY GET A BONA FIDE OFFER THEY INTEND TO ACCEPT, THEY SEND A NOTICE, AS TO WHETHER WE WANT TO MATCH THAT OFFER AND WE WANT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. THERE ARE SOME EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS FROM THAT FIRST REFUSAL. FOR THINGS LIKE STOCKS, OR MERGER, A MORTGAGE , ADDITIONALLY THEY CAN TRANSFER THE PROPERTY TO AN AFFILIATED ENTITY OF LIFETIME BUT IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE IT HAS TO BE FOR OPERATION OF A LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS CENTER. FINALLY, THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL BINDING ON FUTURE SUCCESSORS AND SIGNS. LET'S SAY THEY DO ONE OF THOSE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS TO AN IT AGAIN . IT WOULD BE BINDING ON THAT ENTITY. I KNOW WE HAVE SEVERAL REPRESENTATIVES FROM LIFETIME HERE TO DISCUSS IT. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THIS IS SECOND READING. THIS DOES REQUIRE A FOR FIFTH AFFIRMATIVE VOTE TO PASS.

>> I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. I THINK THE LAST AMENDMENT IN THEIR GIVES US AN EXTRA LAYER OF SECURITY, SO I REALLY APPRECIAT YOU BRINGING THAT OUT. I THINK THAT WAS VERY SMART. HE GIVES US SOME LONG-TERM SECURITY KNOWING WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BITE BACK IF WE SO DESIRE. WELL DONE ON THAT AND THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH LIFETIME TO GET THAT DONE.

[00:55:01]

WE WILL RECEIVE ONCE THE CLOSING HAPPENS $19.5 MILLION FROM TOLL BROTHERS AND NOW $6 MILLION FROM LIFETIME. THAT MAKES US WHOLE. STILL OWNING 32 ACRES OF LAND, WHICH WE ARE DEVELOPING, WHICH WE ARE DOING THE PLANNING. THE 32 ACRES INCLUDES EIGHT AND HALF ACRES THAT IS BEEN ANNEXED FROM THE CITY OF PARKLAND INTO OUR CITY. WE HAVE GROWN OUR CITY, WE HAVE MADE ALL OF OUR INITIAL INVESTMENT BACK AND WE STILL OWN AND CONTROL 32 ACRES OF LAND. JUST PICTURE THAT. IF WE WERE IN BUSINESS THIS IS A GOLDEN PARACHUTE. YOU WALK AWAY AND DO EVERYTHING WE POSSIBLY DO. WE ARE THAT CLOSE . WE STILL NEED TO VOTE ON THIS TO GET IT THROUGH. WE NEED TO GET THROUGH WITH THE VILLAGE. WE HAVE ELEVATED OUR COMMUNITY BY BRINGING IN A BRAND OF LIFETIME. WE HAVE GOTTEN OUR MONEY BACK. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO QUESTIONED US GOING INTO THIS VENTURE. ANYONE WHO QUESTIONED US A GOING INTO THIS, PEOPLE SAID YOU'RE NOT DEVELOPERS, YOU'RE NOT LANDOWNERS, YOU AREN'T SURE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. WE ARE SURE. WE ARE ALMOST THERE. WE SHOULD ALL BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF OURSELVES FOR NOT ONLY PROTECTING THE RESIDENCE OF HERON BAY BUT THE ENTIRE CITY BY GOING THROUGH THIS. WE HAVE MADE OUR CITY BIGGER. WE'VE MADE OUR CITY WHOLE AND WE HAVE CONTROL OF 32 ACRES OF LAND. INITIAL PLANNING AND ZONING PAST . OUR PLANNINGAND ZONING DEPARTMENT 7-0 SO WE ARE THAT MUCH CLOSER TO HAVING THIS VILLAGE BECOME A REALITY. WE SAID IN STRATEGIC PLANNING WE NEED TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO GENERATE REVENUE. THIS DOES THAT. THIS ALLOWS US TO GENERATE THE REVENUE THAT WE NEED TO GENERATE IN ORDER TO KEEP OUR MILLAGE RATE ONE OF THE LOWEST BECAUSE HAVING 85 TO 90% OF OUR HOMES HOMESTEADED MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO KEEP UP WITH THE COST INCREASE WHETHER IT IS INSURANCE, LABOR OR WHATEVER IT IS. I'M VERY PROUD TO BE IN THE POSITION WE ARE IN NOW. WE HAVE ALL WORKED EXTREMELY HARD TO GET HERE.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD NOW TO TAKING NEXT STEPS.

>> THANK YOU. I DON'T WANT TO NEGATE SOME POSITIVES , MANY POSITIVES THAT WILL COME OUT OF THIS. I HAD ONE-ON-ONE WITH BRIAN WHERE I TOLD HIM IF LIFETIME GETS APPROVED AND IF LIFETIME GETS THERE THERE IS NO GREATER ADVOCATE FOR THE SUCCESS OF LIFETIME AND OUR COMMUNITY THAN THIS COMMISSION, MYSELF INCLUDED. MY CONCERNS AND I CERTAINLY GET ALL THE BENEFIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPERCUSSIONS, GET THE BENEFIT OF THE ANNEXATION AND THE ANNEXATION OF LAND, MY CONCERN BOILED DOWN TO THE CONTROL ISSUE. WHILE I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU AND THE LIFETIME TEAM MADE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND TRYING TO NARROW THE ISSUES WITH THE CONTRACTUAL PROVISIONS FOR ME WERE NOT THERE. THEY HAD NO ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT, USE RESTRICTION, DILL DILIGENCE , WE HAVE THIS CONTINGENCY WITH $200,000 IN CORAL SPRINGS, WE ARE GIVING CONTROL FOR OTHER ENTITIES AND DECISION-MAKING'S AND OUT OF THE CONTRACT FOR ME THE CONTROL ISSUE STILL ISN'T IN OUR AGREEMENT. WHETHER IT WAS IN CONTROL OF WHAT IT LOOKS AND WHAT THE LAYOUT IS FOR ME WE ARE EXERCISING CONTROL IN

[01:00:05]

>> WE CANNOT TALK ABOUT CONTROL OF LAND IN SOMEONE ELSE'S CITY.

IF YOU WANTED CONTROL WE SHOULD'VE WENT TO CORAL SPRINGS AND ASKED THEM TO ANNEX THAT LAND . INSTEAD WHAT WE DID IS WE, AS A COMMISSION, ARE THE ONES WHO FOUND LIFETIME. WE ARE PICKING WHAT IS GOING THERE. WHAT MORE CONTROL COULD WE HAVE? WE KNOW WHAT LIFETIME LOOKS LIKE. THERE'S 200 LIFETIMES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, THEY ARE ALL SIMILAR PRODUCTS . WE KNOW WHAT LIFETIME IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, WE KNOW WHAT TYPE OF BRAND LIFETIME IS. THIS CANNOT BE AN EASIER SETTING FOR THE CITY OF PARKLAND TO WALK AWAY AS WINNERS. IT IS A WINNER FOR OUR COMMUNITY, NOT JUST PARKLAND, FOR HERON BAY, FOR PARKLAND, FOR CORAL SPRINGS. IT IS A WINNER FOR ALL OF US. WE HAVE LIFETIME HERE. THIS AS FAR AS OUR PROTECTION TO ME IS NULL AND VOID. WE SHOULD'VE GONE TO CORAL SPRINGS. IF WE WANTED TOTAL CONTROL WE SHOULD'VE TRIED TO ANNEX THAT LAND. WE KNOW THEY WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT. CORAL SPRINGS WAS A WILLING ENOUGH PARTNER TO ANNEX TO EIGHT AND HALF ACRES INTO THE CITY OF PARKLAND KNOWING WE HAVE TO CONTROL THE VILLAGE. AT THIS JUNCTURE WE SHOULD REALIZE WHAT A GOOD DEAL THIS IS FOR PARKLAND AND TRY TO MAKE THIS BETTER. TRY TO MAKE THIS THE BEST WE CAN MAKE OF THE SITUATION WE ARE IN, WHICH IS AN AMAZING SITUATION, BUT IF YOU HAVE SOME RESERVATIONS AS TO THAT WE SHOULD BE WORKING TOWARD MAKING THIS A POSITIVE, TO JUST CONTINUALLY TRY TO FIND SOMETHING THAT'S NOT GOING TO FIT. ANTHONY IS AN AMAZING LAWYER. I TRUST ANTHONY 1 MILLION%. IF HE TELLS ME THIS IS A SOLID CONTRACT I TRUST HIM 1000%. I WOULD NEVER QUESTION ANTHONY'S ABILITY TO MAKE SURE THE CITY OF PARKLAND IS TOTALLY CONTROLLED OR PROTECTED . I KNOW WE ARE PROTECTED IN THE SITUATION. WE HAVE WILLING PARTNERS WITH CORAL SPRINGS, WILLING PARTNERS WOULD LIFETIME , WE HAVE WILLING PARTNERS WITH THE MARRIOTT. THERE'S A WILLING PARTNERS ALL OVER THE PLACE. TO CONTINUE TO NOT SEE WHAT IT BENEFIT THIS IS FOR THE CITY AND FIND WAYS TO MAKE IT BETTER BE NEGATIVE IN A SITUATION ISN'T GETTING US TO THE NEXT PLACE. NO OFFENSE TO HERON BAY, THEY CAME TO US AND ASKED US. THERE ISN'T ONE HERON BAY RESIDENT HERE IN OPPOSITION, NOT ONE. I, QUITE FRANKLY, HAVE HEARD NUMEROUS POSITIVES EVEN AT THE LAST MEETING THERE WERE POSITIVES. I'M GOING TO LIVE IN HERON BAY. POSITIVE AFTER POSITIVE. TO BE ABLE TO SAY AS A COMMISSION WE HAVE MADE OURSELVES WHOLE , WE GREW THE CITY AND WE STILL OWN 32 ACRES 8 1/2 WHICH WASN'T EVEN HOURS.

THAT, TO ME, IS MIND-BOGGLING WE WERE ABLE TO GET AS FAR AS

WE GOT . >> I DON'T DISAGREE WITH ANYTHING YOU SAID EXCEPT FOR CONTROL. THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN I HAVE ASKED TO BE CONSIDERED. THEY ARE NOT IN THE AGREEMENT OR CONTRACT.

>> THOSE ARE THINGS WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT.

>> I'M NOT NEGATING THAT CORAL SPRINGS WILL BE AN ALLY AND

[01:05:03]

>> WOULD WE EVER AGREE TO THAT? IF WE WERE IN CORAL SPRING SHOES WOULD I EVER AGREE TO ALLOW CORAL SPRINGS TO DICTATE WHAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN MY COMMUNITY? I WOULD

NEVER. >> THIS IS TO BE THE RECIPIENTS OF THE OUTCOME OF WHAT OTHER THIRD PARTIES DICTATE , THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS DICTATES AND EVERYTHING ELSE INCLUDING THE ABANDONMENT OF THIS CONTRACT . IF THEY DICTATE TOO

MUCH. >> WE ARE TALKING 9.3 ACRES NOT IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND AND THEY WERE ASKED BY . NOBODY WANTS THIS PARCEL PLEASE TAKE IT. NOT ONLY HAVE WE TAKEN IT OR DID WE TAKE IT , WE ARE NOW MAKING MONEY OR MAKING OURSELVES WHOLE. WE ARE THE ONES WHO CHOSE WHAT'S GOING

THERE. >> I DON'T THINK WE ARE DISAGREEING OVER THE FUNDAMENTALS, I THINK WE ARE DISAGREEING OVER NUANCES. THE NUANCES ARE ONCE WE SIGN THIS AGREEMENT WE HAVE ALL THE BENEFITS YOU EXTOLLED, ALL RIGHT, BUT WE ALSO HAVE SO MANY CONTINGENCIES HERE. OTHER THAN AS GOING TO CORAL SPRINGS MUCH LIKE THE RESIDENCE OF HERON BAY OR OTHERS WILL DO AND I APPRECIATE YOU SAID AT THE LAST MEETING YOU'LL ACCOMPANY THEM AND MAKE SURE CORAL SPRINGS HEARS THOSE CONCERNS, BUT TO SAY WE ARE EXERCISING TOTAL CONTROL WHEN TALKING ABOUT THIS WHEN WE ARE MAKING THE VOTE I JUST FEEL THE CONTROL BEING DIFFERENT. MEANING SOMETHING

DIFFERENT. >> IF YOU THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF AN AREA NOT IN OUR CITY I CERTAINLY DID NOT HAVE ANY FEELINGS OR ANY INDICATION THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO CONTROL SOMETHING IN SOMEONE ELSE'S CITY. WHAT I ENVISIONED IS EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING. I ENVISIONED US AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE OUR MONEY BACK SO WE MAKE THE RESIDENCE WHOLE , I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW FOR SURE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DICTATE WHAT AMENITY WENT THERE . BUT WE ARE. WE ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE COME TO CORAL SPRINGS AND SAID WE HAVE THIS AMAZING CORPORATE PARTNER AND WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO AGREE TO US AND NOT ONLY AGREE TO US BEING ABLE TO MAKE OURSELVES WHOLE BUT TO ANNEX EIGHT AND HALF ACRES OF LAND SO WE CAN CONTROL THE VILLAGE OURSELVES.

I UNDERSTAND THIS IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE A HARD TIME DOING AND I UNDERSTAND ORIGINALLY MAYBE IT'S YOUR FEELINGS, BUT IT ORIGINALLY CAME FROM THE RESIDENCE. I THINK THEY ARE SAYING THAT THIS IS A GREAT OFFER.

>> WE ARE GETTING INTO WHETHER LIFETIME SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T GO THERE. I AGREE WE ARE PAST THAT. NOW IT'S A QUESTION OF

-- >> I'M SORRY. I HAVE THE FEELING WE ARE JUST TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO JUST SAY NO. THAT, TIMMY, IF MY ATTORNEY IS TELLING ME THIS IS A GOOD CONTRACT, THIS IS A GOOD CONTRACT. THE VICE MAYOR BROUGHT UP SOMETHING I THOUGHT WAS GENIUS , TO GIVE US THE ABILITY TO BUY IT BACK IF NEED BE, WHICH I KNOW LIFETIME IS NOT GOING TO FAIL BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T, SO THEY ARE CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO FILL IN THIS COMMUNITY. FOR US TO GET THAT ADDITIONAL BENEFIT, IT JUST SOLIDIFIES THE CONTRACT.

EVERYTHING ELSE TIMMY CAN HAPPEN TO ANYTHING. YOU CAN NITPICK AND HYPOTHESIZE ON ANYTHING AND SAY IF WE HAVE AN EARTHQUAKE THAT LIFETIME MIGHT NOT OPEN. MAYBE NOT. MAYBE WE WILL HAVE TO REDO BECAUSE THE EARTHQUAKE WAS 9.1. YOU CAN ONLY SAY THOSE THINGS. TO ME, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND OUR ROLE AS LEADERS IS TO BE LEADING AND TO SAY THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING. WE HAVE DONE AN AMAZING THING, LET'S KEEP IT POSITIVE. WE HAVE DONE AN AMAZING THING FOR OUR COMMUNITY, LET'S NOT CONTINUE TO FIGHT IT LIKE WE CONTINUE TO FIGHT BUYING THE LAND IN THE FIRST PLACE. WE FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO TRY TO BUY THE LAND AND HERE WE ARE ALREADY SITTING IN A POSITION WHERE WE ARE WHOLE, OUR CITY GREW AND WE STILL CONTROL 32 ACRES OF LAND. IT'S MIND-BOGGLING THAT WE

[01:10:01]

>> THERE HAS BEEN NO GREATER ADVOCATE ALONG WITH YOU AND OUR CITY STAFF AND ALL THE FOLKS THAT MADE IT HAPPEN INCLUDING THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS THAT VOTED FOR PURCHASING THE LAND .

I HAVE BEEN AT THE TABLE AS HAVE YOU WITH MANY OF THE RESIDENCE . INCLUDING RESIDENCE OUTSIDE OF HERON BAY THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. I COULD TELL YOU THAT THERE IS NO DOUBT ALL OF THE POSITIVES AND ACCOLADES YOU REFERENCE. TO SAY IT IS NOT TRUE LEADERSHIP OR THAT WE HAVE TO BE ONLY POSITIVE, OUR JOB IS TO BE ALSO CRITICAL WHEN NEEDED WHEN WE HAVE A CONTRACT THAT I DON'T THINK GETS US TO WHERE WE WANT TO. I AGREE WITH YOU THIS IS IN ANOTHER CITY BUT I CAN TELL YOU WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BUYING THE LAND AND ANTHONY HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DAIS AT THE TIME ABOUT THE FACT THAT ONCE WE OWNED THE LAND WE CAN CURATE EVEN IF IT'S LANDED ANOTHER CITY WE CAN DICTATE WHO WE SELL IT TO FOR WHAT PURPOSE, WHAT THEY'RE PUTTING THERE. I AGREE WE ARE ACCOMPLISHING A LOT. I JUST DON'T THINK IT GOES FAR ENOUGH AND THAT'S NOT ME TRYING TO BE NEGATIVE, THAT'S NOT ME TRYING TO TAKE A POSITIVE AND TURN IT AROUND, THAT'S TRYING TO PUSH US FURTHER. I'VE COMMUNICATED WHAT I THINK WOULD HAPPEN OR WHAT I WOULD SEE HAPPENING TO GET US THERE. IT'S NOT IN THE DOCUMENT THUS FAR. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. AS I TOLD BRIAN, LIFETIME, ALL OF THOSE INVOLVED, I AM ALL FOR DOING THE BEST WE CAN FOR THE RESIDENCE. DO I THINK THIS IS A GREAT FINANCIAL DEAL? ABSOLUTELY. DOES IT PUT US IN A POSITION WHERE WE ARE MADE WHOLE AND HAVE THE VILLAGE ON TOP WAS MARK YES. DO I THINK THE ANNEXATION IS A BENEFIT, ABSOLUTELY . I JUST THINK THIS GETS US 8/10 OF THE WAY THERE AND WE ARE NOT ALL THE WAY

THERE. >> YEAH. THIS IS A HEALTHY DEBATE. IT'S AN IMPORTANT DECISION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS AND THE KUDOS. I DO HAVE TO SHARE SOME CONCERNS WITH THE LANGUAGE OF THE CONTRACT AS WELL. I SAY THAT BECAUSE I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR ANTHONY AND IT'S NOT FOR ANY LACK OF TRYING, IT'S A MATTER OF NEGOTIATION AND THE QUESTION OF WHAT LIFETIME IS WILLING TO AGREE TO. I KNOW WE HAVE MADE A CERTAIN ASK FROM THE LAST MEETING. I MADE THE ASK OF TRYING TO PUT IN SOME SKIN IN THE GAME IN TERMS OF PUTTING THE $200,000 IN MECHANICAL HARD RATHER THAN REFUNDABLE OR ANY BASIC CIRCUMSTANCES. THAT WAS SHOT DOWN. I WAS DISAPPOINTED THERE WAS NO COUNTER TO AT LEAST SHOW SOME LEVEL . WE TALK A LOT ABOUT PARTNERSHIP . WE TALK ABOUT NOT JUST HAVING BUSINESSES COME TO THE CITY BUT WORKING WITH DEVELOPERS OR BUSINESSES WHO WANT TO ACTUALLY WORK IN TANDEM AND SEE BOTH THE COMMUNITY GROW ALONG WITH THEIR BUSINESS INTEREST. WE DID IT WITH TUTTLE WHO PUT IN TO SHOW HE WAS IN IT FOR THE LONG TERM. WE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THINGS WE WANTED TO SEE. THE LONG-TERM VISION. THEY DID THINGS TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS. NOT TO SAY THE MONEY IS EVERYTHING, BUT SOMETIMES IT IS SYMBOLIC. ABSENT THE MONEY GOES TO THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND SOMETHING I WANTED TO SEE TO COMMISSIONER PRYOR'S POINT WAS SOME RESTRICTION OR LIMITATION TO MAKE SURE TO SUMMED THIS DOESN'T SOMEHOW LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD TURN TO A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT. I GET IT'S NOT IN OUR CITY BUT IT IS A BUDDING VILLAGE WE ARE INTENDING TO DEVELOP. IF A LOT OF THE MOTIVATION FOR US TO BIND THE GOLF COURSE WAS TO MITIGATE AND MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OR COMMUNITY I THINK WE HAVE TO CARRY THE SAME SENTIMENT FORWARD. THE REASON I THINK SOME LANGUAGES CONCERNING THIS BECAUSE WHILE THERE IS SOME EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS IT'S NOT REALLY CLEAR IN ALL THESE TRANSACTIONS THAT THE SUCCESSOR TO LIFETIME WOULD STILL BE

[01:15:08]

LIFETIME HAS MADE SOME ASK OF THE CITY AND I THINK WE HAVE BEEN A VERY WILLING PARTNER , VERY WILLING PARTNER. THE ASK WE MAKE IT USUALLY COMES WITH ALMOST A PARTIAL VERSION BUT THEN IT IS ALSO A TAKE AWAY WHEN THEY MAKE A DIFFERENT ASK.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE USE FOR LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS BE REMAINED THROUGHOUT THE 20 YEAR PERIOD AND THE EXTENT AFTER WHEN THAT OPTION IS NO LONGER IN PLACE TO HAVE SOME OTHER PROTECTION OR LIMITATION THAT THIS WILL REMAIN COMMERCIAL.

THERE CAN BE OTHER COMMERCIAL TYPES OF BUSINESSES, BUT IF THE GOAL IS TO TRY TO MITIGATE AND MINIMIZE THE DEVELOPMENT I WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE SOME CONSIDERATION. I KNOW ANTHONY SPOKE TO THEIR TEAM ABOUT THAT, BUT FROM WHAT I HEAR IS IT'S NOT SOMETHING THEY ARE WILLING TO DO AND I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND THE REASONING WHY SO AT LEAST WE HAVE A DISCUSSION

ABOUT IT. >> IT'S IN THE CONTRACT NOW HAS TO STAY A LIFETIME FACILITY IS THAT CORRECT?

>> NOPE NOT NECESSARILY. THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT AND GO FOR APPROVALS FOR A LIFETIME. THERE IS NO USE RESTRICTION FOR EXAMPLE AS THE VICE MAYOR SPEAKING LIKE IN 20 YEARS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT THEM OR WHOEVER OWNS THE PROPERTY AT THAT TIME

FROM CHANGING IT. >> DO WE HAVE A YOUTH RESTRICTION ON TOLL BROTHERS? ON THE STORAGE FACILITY?

>> WE DO NOT HAVE A USE RESTRICTION RECORDED FOR TOLL BROTHERS. IT IS IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND.

>> DO WE HAVE IT FOR THE STORAGE FACILITY WE JUST

APPROVED? >> NO.

>> I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. THE STORAGE FACILITIES IN A SPECIAL DISTRICT. IF THEY WANTED TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAT WOULD REQUIRE A WHOLE REZONING. THIS GIVES US THE

ULTIMATE HIGH LEVEL. >> I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THAT UP AT THE LAST MEETING.

>> WE DID. I MENTION THE WORD RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. WE HAD RESIDENTS COME UP AND SAY WHAT IF THIS IS NOT A LIFETIME

FACILITY DOWN THE ROAD? >> YOU AND JORDAN AND ANTHONY WORK OUT . I'M GOING BACK TO WHAT I SAID BEFORE. LIFETIME

[01:20:03]

>> YOU'RE SEEING IT AS BLACK AND WHITE. I SEE IT AS GRADATIONS OF GRAY. HERE'S THE ISSUE. THERE IS LANGUAGE IN EVEN THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL THAT MITIGATES .

>> YOU BEEN AGAINST THIS FROM DAY ONE. YOU BROUGHT UP TRAFFIC, SUSTAINABILITY, YOU BROUGHT UP SOME STUFF ABOUT THE CONTRACT, BUT YOU CONTINUALLY BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE FACILITY ITSELF. TRAFFIC , SUSTAINABILITY. TO ME, WE ARE PAST THAT. IF WE HAVE CONTRACT ISSUES THE TWO ATTORNEYS WOULD LIKE TO WORK OUT WITH ANTHONY THAT IS BETWEEN THE THREE OF

YOU. I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY. >> WE HAVE TRIED. ANTHONY CAN ATTEST BUT I CAN TELL YOU IN MY MEETING WITH LIFETIME WE TALKED ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT AND NOT ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY. I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC THE ROUTE AND THIS IS ONE THE HERON BAY RESIDENTS HAVE COME TO ME SAYING WE ARE CONCERNED. I BELIEVE CORAL SPRINGS AND THE COUNTY WILL NAVIGATE THOSE ISSUES. THE VICE MAYOR SAID IT WAS DEFINITIVE IF THAT LANGUAGE IS NOT THROUGHOUT THE CONTINGENCIES. EVEN IN THE TOLL BROTHERS PROJECT WE HAVE A MUCH SIMPLER RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL THAT IS UNIVERSAL REGARDLESS OF ANY OF THE CONTINGENCIES . THERE IS A DISTINCTION.

>> SOMEBODY HAS TO COME UP. WE WILL EITHER PASS ON THIS WHERE SOMEONE HAS TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. I DON'T LIKE THIS, I DON'T LIKE THAT, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS. IT'S LIKE WITH LIFETIME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT BUT I KNOW WHAT I DON'T WANT. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE THOSE COMMENTS. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LEADING THE CITY FORWARD. WE NEED TO GO THROUGH THE CONTRACT BECAUSE YOU ARE TO ATTORNEYS, GO THROUGH THE CONTRACT AND TELL ANTHONY WHAT

HE NEEDS TO DO. >> I CAN ASSURE YOU I'VE DONE THAT. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT'S BEEN DONE.

>> DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO DENY? >> I WANTED TO MAKE IT CLEAR I LISTEN TO EACH CONCERN AT THAT MEETING. I ADVOCATE FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE WITH LIFETIME . THEY ARE AWARE OF ALL OF THESE ISSUES. WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THESE FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE PREPARED TO SPEAK, BUT IT CERTAINLY BEEN DISCUSSED DOWN TO NEARLY EVERYTHING THE VICE MAYOR SAID AND I THINK PROBABLY 90% OF WHAT YOU SAID.

>> THAT'S UNFORTUNATELY THE NATURE OF THE SUNSHINE. I WISH WE COULD'VE HAD MORE OF A FRUITFUL GROUP CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS BUT IT WAS NOT FOR LACK OF ME TRYING TO CONVEY TO ANTHONY AND HIM PLAYING THE INTERMEDIARY. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE LANGUAGE THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED WAS ESSENTIALLY A TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. I DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO BE IN A POSITION WHERE WE HAVE COME THIS FAR AND TO HAVE TO JUST TAKE CONCESSIONS THAT THE AREN'T NECESSARILY FINANCIAL CONCESSIONS, IS NOT LIKE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PURCHASE PRICE OR WHATEVER. TO ME THIS IS ABOUT THE MAKEUP AND COMPOSITION OF OUR CITY OR EVEN THE ABUTTING LAND. THAT VILLAGE IS HOPEFULLY THE CROWN JEWEL OF OUR CITY IN YEARS TO COME. THIS PROPERTY, WHILE WE SAY IT IS ONLY 9.3 ACRES, WHATEVER IT IS, THERE IS THE ABILITY TO BUILD UP. IT'S NOT JUST A QUESTION OF WHAT IT COULD BE NOW BUT WHAT IT COULD BE IN THE FUTURE. I THINK ALL OF US ARE ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR THE FUTURE YEARS AND NOT JUST WHAT IS IN FRONT OF US. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS AND SECTION 15.23 . IF YOU LOOK AT SECTION A IT SAYS BY BUYER TO AFFILIATE BUYER FOR THE OPERATION OF LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS FACILITY ON THE PROPERTY. THAT LANGUAGE ON THE EXEMPT TRANSACTION BY NOT HAVING IT THERE ALL THAT MEANS IS ALL THE OTHER EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS CAN BE SOLD AND NOW THE PROPERTY IS CLOSED THEY CAN GO TURN IT INTO WHATEVER THEY WANT. THAT DOESN'T TRIGGER THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL . THESE ARE EXEMPT. THIS NEW OWNER STEPS INTO THE SHOES , LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS FACILITY, THEY GET TO DO WHAT

[01:25:06]

DEVELOPMENT. >> YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY OR

I WILL MOVE TO A MOTION? >> FOR THE CITY OF PARKLAND WE ARE EXCITED FOR THE COMMUNITY . THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT TO THE COMMUNITY. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

THERE IS NO PERFECT CONTRACT. THERE'S NO PERFECT CONTRACT.

ALL THE PARTIES ARE TRYING TO COME TO A SOLUTION. I'VE GOT A BOARD OF DIRECTORS, I HAVE STOCKHOLDERS , WE HAVE TO AGREE ON THE LIFETIME SIDE OF THE EQUATION THAT ALLOWS US TO DO OUR TRANSACTIONS, WE ALL HAVE CONSTITUENTS , THE CONTROL ISSUE IN PERPETUITY WHICH WE TOTALLY RESPECT . AS FAR AS IT COMES TO THE EARNEST MONEY IF THAT IS A STICKING POINT TO YOU ALL, WE WILL AGREE TO 100,000 OF THE 200,000 BEEN HARD. FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE WE CAN'T CONTROL HER DESTINY. IF WE COULD CONTROL OUR DESTINY WE WOULD PUT IT ALL APART TODAY.

UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ZONING PROCESS, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH APPROVALS WHICH IS OUTSIDE THE CONTROL OF PARKLAND TO GET APPROVED TO BUILD THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER PROPOSING WITH CORAL SPRINGS. THAT'S OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL, SOMETHING THAT NEITHER OF US HAS CONTROL OF. REGARDING IN PERPETUITY A USE RESTRICTION ON THE PROPERTY WHAT I'VE HEARD IS THERE IS CONCERN ABOUT RESIDENTIAL. IF THAT IS THE CONCERN FOR THE CITY WE WILL AGREE TODAY TO PUT A DEED RESTRICTION ON THE PROPERTY THAT IT WON'T BE RESIDENTIAL IN THE FUTURE. THOSE ARE A FEW THINGS WE CAN OFFER TO TRY TO COME TO THE MIDDLE, BUT YOU HAVE TO REALIZE FROM A CORPORATE STANDPOINT A LARGE TRANSACTION FROM STOCKHOLDER TO STOCKHOLDER , SAME PARTY TRANSACTION, THAT CANNOT BE TOUCHED. WE ALSO HAVE TO PROTECT. AT LIFETIME WE TRADITIONALLY BUILD A CLUB ON OUR OWN DOLLAR, RECYCLE THE CAPITAL THROUGH THE BACK MARKET AND ENTER INTO LONG-TERM AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO PROTECT WITH THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL GIVING YOU ALL SOME CONTROL WHILE ALLOWING LIFETIME TO OPERATE ITS CORPORATE INITIATIVE.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU. THIS IS THE KIND OF DIALOGUE I WAS HOPING TO HAVE TONIGHT. THE CONCERNS THAT WE SHARE I THINK ARE ALIGNED. I DON'T THINK WE'RE ASKING FOR SOMETHING YOU GUYS AREN'T ALSO IN ALIGNMENT WITH. THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD AND BE WILLING TO MAKE A MOTION IS ADDING THAT LANGUAGE LIKE I SAID ABOUT THE FACILITY TO ALL THE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS. WE HAVE NO DESIRE TO STOP LIFETIME FITNESS FROM BEING ABLE TO DO IT IT NEEDS TO DO IN TERMS OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE WHETHER STOCK SALE OR WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT TO DO . IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT THEN WE NEED TO KNOW IS STILL OPERATING AS A LIFESTYLE FITNESS FACILITY BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT IS KIND OF A MEANINGLESS OBLIGATION. WITH THE $100,000 EARNEST MONEY , THE DEED RESTRICTION AS TO NONRESIDENTIAL AND TO JUST ADDING IN THE OPERATION OF LIFESTYLE FITNESS FACILITY TO ALL THE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS I WOULD MAKE A MOTION.

>> I WANT TO SAY WE WILL BE SPENDING TWO AND HALF MILLION DOLLARS. WE ARE REAL. WE ARE MOVING FORWARD. THE 100,000 IS JUST TO GET US OVER THE THRESHOLD.

>> IF I MAY, I WANT A COUPLE CLARIFICATIONS ON YOUR OFFER SO IT'S CLEAR FOR THE RECORD . IF APPROVED TONIGHT, ALL PARTIES HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING IN TERMS OF SOMETHING WILL HAVE TO DRAFT THIS. THE $100,000 WOULD BE A NONREFUNDABLE $100,000 UPON EXITING DUE DILIGENCE ? THE DEED RESTRICTION THAT WOULD PROHIBIT THE PROPERTY FROM BEING USED FOR RESIDENTIAL THE

TIME. FOR THAT RESTRICTION? >> WE DISCUSSED 20 YEARS IS

THAT WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR? >> I THOUGHT THE DEED RESTRICTION WAS IN PERPETUITY OF THE PROPERTY. IT RUNS WITH

THE LAND. OKAY. >> BECAUSE I KNOW SOMETIMES RESTRICTIONS IN PERPETUITY ARE DISFAVORED UPON THE LAW SO I WILL LOOK AT THE LAW AND WE WILL DO IT TO THE MAXIMUM WE

CAN. >> EVEN 99 YEAR. OBVIOUSLY THE GOAL IS TO GET IT AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. ROSA PERPETUITY , EVERYONE'S FAVORITE IN LAW SCHOOL, APRIL AND AGAINST PREPARES AGAINST THAT I JUST DON'T BELIEVE 20 YEARS IS

[01:30:03]

ENOUGH. >> HE SAID THAT R.

>> OKAY. LIKE I SAID, I KNOW THAT'S MORE THAN ANTHONY THING BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE ANY ISSUE FROM THE LAWYER'S PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE ALL WE'RE DOING IS CONFORMING BCDEFG AND H WITH J WHICH IS ONE OF THE OTHER VARIATIONS OF THE TRANSACTIONS.

>> UP TO YOU. I PROPOSE THAT EARLIER BUT I KNOW THEY HAD

SOME CONCERN. >> I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER. WE DON'T HAVE THE CONTRACT IN FRONT OF US.

>> I DON'T NEED IT DRAFTED NOW, JUST THE LOGIC. RATHER THAN LOOKING AT THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE , THE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO NOTTRIGGER THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. IF WE NEED TO GIVE IT TO AN AFFILIATE OR SELL TO AN AFFILIATE OR SIGN IT SO ALL ARE SOME VARIATION OF HOW TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. STOCK SALE, GRANT OF A MORTGAGE OR DEAL, THEY'RE ALL ACCOMPLISHING THE SAME GOAL BUT FOR SOME REASON ONLY EIGHT OF THOSE MENTIONED FOR THE OPERATION LIFESTYLE

FACILITY ON THE PROPERTY. >> A IS WHAT I CAN GET TONIGHT FOR THIS MEETING. WE DID REQUEST FOR ALL OF THEM, BUT THEY DID AT LEAST AGREE TO A . AT LEAST BEFORE TONIGHT.

>> MAYBE I NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE OTHERS AND TO WHY THE CONCERN?

>> I THINK THERE WAS A TECHNICAL ISSUE WITH SOME. NOT NECESSARILY ALL. HOW DO YOU EFFECTUATE A FIRST REFUSAL IF IT'S NOT EXEMPT FOR LIKE A MORTGAGE TRANSACTION?

>> I THINK WE ARE SAYING TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. I'M NOT SAYING THAT SHOULD NOT BE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS. THEY CAN ALL STILL BE EXEMPT. IF IT IS AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION I WANT TO MAKE SURE IN ANY OF THE SITUATIONS WHOEVER THE NEW OWNER IS OF THE PROPERTY IS STILL GOING TO OPERATE THAT AS A LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS PROPERTY. IF AFTER 20 YEARS OR IF THEY WANT TO SELL IT DURING THAT PERIOD. OTHER THAN THESE TRANSACTIONS WE STILL HAVE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL BUT IF ANY OF THOSE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS OCCUR WHOEVER THAT SUCCESSOR OR SIGN HE IS IS COMMITTING TO STILL RUNNING AS A LIFESTYLE FITNESS FACILITY. LIFETIME WOULD ONLY BE DOING THAT FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN CHANGING THEIR OPERATION.

>> TO BE CLEAR IF YOU'RE ASKING FOR A CONTINUOUS OPERATION CLAUSE THE ANSWER IS NO. WE HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM CONTRACTS BEFORE. IT'S THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY IT'S AT THAT TIME BUT NOT IN

PERPETUITY. >> FORGIVE ME IF I'M NOT CLEAR. WHAT I'M SAYING IS IT'S ALREADY BEEN AGREED TO FOR ONE OF THE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS. IF THERE IS A CONVEYANCE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF PROPERTY BY LIFETIME TO AN AFFILIATE OF LIFETIME FOR THE OPERATION OF A LIFETIME FITNESS FACILITY IT IS AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION AND DOESN'T TRIGGER THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. WHAT I'M SAYING IS THERE IS A CHANGE IN CONTROL OR MANAGEMENT THAT IT STILL HAVE THE SAME LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS FACILITY. OTHERWISE WITHIN TWO YEARS YOU COULD DO A SALE AND LEASE BACK WHICH WOULD BE AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION, WE WOULDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND THE NEW BUYER WHO'S NOW LEASED THE PROPERTY BACK GETS TO CONTROL AND SAY WE DECIDED WE WILL NOT DO A LIFESTYLE FITNESS FACILITY, WE WILL DO A STORAGE FACILITY ,

SOME OTHER OPERATION. >> IT WAS THE LANGUAGE OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THE LANGUAGE I PROPOSE WITH THE ATTORNEYS YESTERDAY. WHEN WE GOT THE LIST OF EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS. AT LEAST CONCEPTUALLY I THINK THAT'S WHAT HE'S LOOKING FOR THAT IT WOULD APPLY TO ALL NOT THAT IT WOULD PREVENT YOU FROM DOING SOME TRANSACTIONS BUT IF YOU WANT THEM TO BE EXEMPT WHERE WE DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL THAT THEY WOULD CONTEMPLATE AND PROVIDE FOR AN OPERATION LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS FACILITY ON THE PROPERTY.

>> I NEED TO SEE THIS IN WRITING. IT CAN BE CONTROLLED

IN PERPETUITY SO WE ARE CLEAR. >> IT'S A 20 YEAR RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. THIS IS FOR THOSE --

>> IT'S IN THE CONTEXT. >> THE EXEMPT TRANSACTION IN SUBSECTION A WE AGREED TO, CORRECT?

>> YES. IT WOULD BE SIMILAR LANGUAGE . IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE PROPERTY OF SIL PORTFOLIO WITH THREE OR MORE PROPERTIES IN A SINGLE TRANSACTION TO A SINGLE PURCHASER IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY IF YOU WANT THAT TO BE EXEMPT, LET'S SAY SOMEONE WANTS TO BUY FOUR OF YOUR PROPERTIES, MAYBE LEASEBACK INCLUDING THE ONE IN PARKLAND,

[01:35:04]

>> WE CAN DO THAT. WE CANNOT DO THAT. THE BUYERS WON'T BUY IT.

>> THEN IT RENDERS THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL MEANINGLESS.

>> YOU HAVE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL WHEN WE GO,

>> THIS IS AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION. WE DON'T GET A

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. >> SAY THAT AGAIN?

>> BY DEFINITION IT MEANS WE WOULD NOT GET A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO AVOID . IF YOU WILL HAVE THESE TRANSACTIONS WE DON'T GET TO STEP IN AND SAY LIFETIME IS GOING TO SELL THIS PROPERTY TO A NEW BUYER , THEY WILL LEASE IT BACK TO YOU, WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO BITE AS A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, BUT WE ALSO DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT UNDER THIS CONTRACT CURRENTLY TO SAY THAT NEW BUYER WHO'S GOING TO LEASE IT BACK NOW IS ENSURING IT IS STILL OPERATING AS A LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS, AT LEAST WHILE THE NEW TRANSACTION OR WHOEVER THE OWNER IS IS IN PLACE. IF AFTER 20 YEARS YOU GUYS WANT TO SELL THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL GONE THEY CAN SELL IT AND DO WHATEVER COMMERCIAL PURPOSE THEY WANT WITH THE DEED RESTRICTION.

>> WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE AGAIN AND

REVIEW WITH OUR ATTORNEYS. >> IF I COULD OFFER SOMETHING FROM OUR STANDPOINT NOT TO SAY THAT YOUR CONCERNS ARE NOT VALID, BUT I THINK WE ARE DEEP IN THE RABBIT HOLE OF WHAT HAPPENS IF. FROM OUR STANDPOINT AS THE MAYOR PROPOSED LIFETIME IS GOING TO BE INVESTING $70 MILLION INTO THIS PROJECT.

THERE IS NO WORLD IN WHICH I WAS DOING THAT MAKES ANY SENSE TO SELL THAT TO ANY OTHER OPERATOR BUT FOR LIFESTYLE AND WELLNESS FACILITY. FROM OUR STANDPOINT AS WELL WE CAN TO BE BEHOLDEN TO BEING A LIFESTYLE FACILITY IF THE WORLD TURNS ENTIRELY UPSIDE DOWN AND THEY LET THE MAGIC PILL AND NOBODY NEEDS TO WORK OUT ANYMORE. THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS FROM OUR STANDPOINT, ANY BUSINESS NEEDS TO MAINTAIN SOME FLEXIBILITY. WHAT YOU GUYS ARE GETTING WHICH I HOPE FEELS LIKE SOMETHING REAL IS THAT YOU'VE SELECTED AN OWNER OPERATOR OF A BUSINESS. YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE A DEVELOPER WHO MIGHT PUT A GYM OR MIGHT PUT A STORE AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS, YOU CHOSE LIFETIME AND LIFETIME CONSISTENTLY ACROSS 180 PROJECTS , ACROSS 120 PROJECTS HAVE BEEN BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP AND NEVER CLOSED ANY ONE OF THOSE. THERE IS AN ASPECT THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL EVERYTHING , BUT FROM LIFETIME'S PERSPECTIVE WE ARE GIVING YOU AS MUCH AS WE CAN. WHAT WE HAVE TO PROTECT FROM IS THE END OF THE WORLD SCENARIO WHERE THE MAGIC PILL SCENARIO IN WHICH NO ONE WORKS OUT ANYMORE AND OUR BUSINESS DOESN'T WORK. THAT' WHERE WE ARE STRUGGLING WITH THIS. THERE IS NO BUSINESS OUT THERE IN THE WORLD, I BELIEVE, THAT CAN SAY WE WILL BE THIS BUSINESS FOREVER AND EVER. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO AT SOME POINT IF THIS JUST DOESN'T WORK WE ARE IN A WORLD OF HURT BUT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO TURN AROUND AND SAY XYZ COMMERCIAL COMPANY , YOU CAN TAKE THIS AND IT CAN BE IN OFFICE, THAT'S WHERE WE STRUGGLE.

>> I THINK WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE. THAT'S WHY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD BE IN A BUT NOT THE OTHERS. IF YOU ARE SAYING WE DON'T WANT TO DO IT FOR ANY OF THEM I CAN SOMEWHAT UNDERSTAND THIS CONVERSATION, BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN AGREEING TO IT IN A BUT NOT THE OTHERS.

>> I WANT TO SAY I THINK WHAT IS HAPPENING IS WHERE BUTTING UP AGAINST THE ISSUE WITH A CITY OWNING LAND CONTAINED WITHIN ANOTHER CITY. WE ULTIMATELY DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THE ZONING. ULTIMATELY WE WANT SOME KIND OF ASSURANCE THAT WHAT WE WANT THIS TO BE WELL WE OWN IT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE WHAT WE WANTED TO BE AND IF NOT THEN WE HAVE REFUSALS AND THAT'S WHY THAT'S ULTIMATELY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS . IT'S JUST AN ISSUE WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH.

>> THE OTHER THING I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENT ABOUT HOW YOU'VE NEVER CLOSED IT. WHETHER IT IS FIVE, 401, IF WE ARE IMPROVING YOU ALL TO BE THE LIFETIME FACILITY AT THIS LOCATION THE LAST THING WE WOULD WANT IS IN TWO YEARS FROM NOW BECAUSE OF SOME CONTINGENCY THERE TO BE SOMETHING ELSE WHERE WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. THE WHOLE PURPOSE IS TO SAY FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS YOU GUYS EITHER OPERATED AS A FITNESS FACILITY OR COME BACK TO US AND PUT IT BACK ON THE TABLE. IF YOU HAVE A BONA FIDE OFFER FROM A THIRD PARTY BECAUSE OF IT IS CREATE A MAGIC PILL WE HAVE THE RIGHT WITHIN A

[01:40:01]

>> I UNDERSTAND THAT POINT. FROM OUR STANDPOINT THERE IS NUANCE HERE I AM AFRAID TO COMMIT TO. I THINK WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR US TO TURN AROUND.

IT'S TAKEN A LOT OF FITNESS EQUIPMENT AND OTHER FINISHES WE

SPENT MONEY ON. >> WE ARE AT A STANDSTILL. THEY CAN'T MAKE ANY MORE CONCESSIONS WITHOUT THEIR ATTORNEY. IS THERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? DO I HAVE A MOTION?

>> I'M KIND OF TORN. ON ONE HAND I DO APPRECIATE THE CONCESSIONS YOU'VE MADE. MY CONCERN IS I'M NOT TRYING TO OVERLY LAWYER THIS THING. THE REALITY IS THIS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ESSENTIALLY BECOMES A ILLUSORY IF YOU GUYS DECIDE YOU WANT TO FIND A WAY TO TRANSFER IT OR SELL IT TO A THIRD-PARTY WE NO LONGER HAVE THE RIGHT TO STEP IN THERE AND BUY IT IT'S VERY POSSIBLE THE CITY OF PARKLAND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BUY IT AT THE PRICE. WHATEVER IT MAY BE. WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE OPPORTUNITY, THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF THIS IS ABOUT. WE HAVE SPENT THE LAST THREE YEARS I WOULD SAY ALMOST WORKING TOWARDS THIS VISION OF CONTROLLING OUR DESTINY AND TO GET TO ALMOST THE FIVE YARD LINE AND IT BE SO EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE POSSIBILITIES AND GROWTH AND OPPORTUNITIES TO ESSENTIALLY CONCEDE WITH WHAT EVERYONE SEEMED TO BE IN AGREEMENT ON AT THE LAST HEARING OF THIS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL THAT BY HAVING THESE TRANSACTIONS THAT ESSENTIALLY TAKE IT OUT ON THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL IT UNDERMINES AND ALMOST EVISCERATES THE RIGHT ITSELF. WE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE IN SUPPORT OF A BUSINESS DOING WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO TO BE SUCCESSFUL, EVEN IF THAT MEANS SOMETIMES SELLING TO A NEW OWNER OR OPERATOR, THAT'S PART OF THE BUSINESS AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO SUPPORT. WHAT WE ARE ALSO TRYING TO SUPPORT HIS MAKING SURE THAT IF THE OPPORTUNITY COMES UP WHERE YOU NEED TO SELL IT THAT WE HAVE THE OPTION. IF THE OPTION ISN'T GIVEN TO US THEN WE ARE ESSENTIALLY LEFT IN THE SAME PLACES WE WERE BEFORE WE HAD THE CONVERSATION LAST MEETING.

>> YOU GUYS ARE DONE? ALL RIGHT. NO MOTION? DO WE WANT TO

TABLE THIS? WHAT'S NEXT? >> WHAT ARE THE DEADLINES ASSOCIATED WITH MOVING THIS FORWARD IN LIGHT OF ANNEXATION?

>> AS YOU KNOW YOU ALL PASSED A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE ANNEXATION. IT PASSED A SIMILAR RESOLUTION CONTINGENT UPON LIFETIME FITNESS. FOR THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY TO LIFETIME FITNESS. THERE'S GOING TO BE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THOSE BILLS AND WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW WHETHER THE CORAL SPRINGS CONDITIONAL APPROVAL AND SUPPORT OF THE D ANNEXATION FROM THEIR CITY AND ANNEXATION INTO OUR CITY WHETHER THAT WAS SATISFIED. THE HEARING TOMORROW IS THE FIRST READING , BUT THE ULTIMATE HEARING IS ON JANUARY 7TH. IT COULD AFFECT . IT IS FAIR TO SAY AND REASONABLE TO SAY IT COULD AFFECT THE ANNEXATION FOR THIS COMING YEAR IF WE DON'T EXECUTE AN

AGREEMENT WITH LIFETIME PRIOR. >> WHAT IS GOING THERE? WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OFFER THAT CLARITY TO CORAL SPRINGS.

>> THE ISSUE WITH RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL GUYS JUST SO WE ARE ALL UNDERSTANDING, IS IT YOU KNOW DEFINITIVELY YOU CAN AGREE OR YOU DON'T KNOW TONIGHT WHETHER YOU CAN AGREE

TO IT? >> WE NEED TO SEE THE LANGUAGE AND DEAL WITH OUR ATTORNEYS. WE DIDN'T COME FOR A LIVE

[01:45:03]

NEGOTIATION TO BE HONEST. >> COULDN'T THAT BE DONE

TOMORROW? >> WE CAN VOTE ON IT SO IT'S

IRRELEVANT. >> CAN USE SHED SOME LIGHT ON WHAT THE DISCUSSION WAS ARE THE HESITATION OF WHY IT WOULD BE WILLING TO BE INCLUDED IN A BUT NOT THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS SO MAYBE WE CAN TRY IF THERE IS SOME REASSURNCE OR SOMETHING I CAN HEAR AS TO WHY THOSE ARE UNIQUE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

MORE IF POSSIBLE. >> WE HAVE WORKED ON THIS FIRST REFUSAL. I DID GET A LIST OF THESE TRANSACTIONS. HEARING YOUR CONCERNS AND OTHER COMMISSIONERS I POINT OUT IF THEY ARE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS WE GET IT AND YOU NEED TO DO THINGS FOR YOUR INTERNAL BUSINESS PURPOSES. I THINK MY CLIENT IS OKAY WITH THAT SO LONG AS IT'S UNDERSTOOD WHATEVER THOSE TRANSACTIONS ARE THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH HAVING A LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS FACILITY ON THE PROPERTY. I ROPOSE LANGUAGE THAT WOULD APPLY TO ALL OF THEM AND THEN I HEARD SOME CONCERNS FROM THEIR COUNCIL TODAY WITH RESPECT TO LANGUAGE APPLYING TO ALL OF THEM. WE WENT THROUGH THE SCENARIOS. TO BE FAIR TO THEM, THEY AGREED TO A. THAT'S WHY IT IS IN A. ALSO THEY AGREED FOR IT TO BE BINDING ON SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF THEM AS WELL. THEY TRANSFER TO AN AFFILIATE , THAT AFFILIATE WOULD BE A SUCCESSOR TO THEM.

IT WOULD BE BINDING ON THEM. I THINK WHERE THE GAP REALLY WANTS ON SOME ITEMS, FOR EXAMPLE THE PORTFOLIO SCENARIO, IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE THEY WERE COMFORTABLE WITH AGREEING TO THAT AND A FEW OTHER ITEMS HERE . THE PORTFOLIO WHERE THEY COULD SELL THREE OR MORE OF THEIR PROPERTIES IN ONE TRANSACTION, IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE THERE WAS A COMFORT LEVEL TO CONDITION THAT ON PART OF THAT TRANSACTION .

>> WHERE'S THE RISK? >> HERE IS A POTENTIAL RISK. WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS, THEY GET THEIR APPROVALS, THEY CLOSE ON THE PROPERTY SO THEY NOW ON THE PROPERTY. THEY HAVE THE APPROVALS THEY NEED BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON ON THERE AND THEY DECIDE NOT TO BUILD AND THEY WANT TO SELL IT. IF THEY WHERE TO SELL IT TO AN ADDITIONAL PARTY FOR A PERIOD OF 20 YEARS I THINK IT'S PRETTY CLEAR WE HAVE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO MATCH THAT DEAL. I THINK WHERE THE GAP COMES IN IS SOME OF THESE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS AND WE TOOK CARE OF A BECAUSE I THINK IN MY MIND WAS A BIGGER ONE BUT LET'S SAY IN THE SAME SCENARIO THEY'VE CLOSE THEY HAVEN'T BUILT ANYTHING YET. THEY HAVE APPROVALS BUT THEY GET AN INCREDIBLE OFFER AND THEY WANT TO BUY THIS PROPERTY AND PARKLAND WERE CORAL SPRINGS AND WANT TO BUY TWO MORE UP NORTH SOMEWHERE SO IT'S THREE OR MORE PROPERTIES, IT FALLS UNDER E IN THAT SECTION. THAT IS NOW AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION WHERE WE DON'T HAVE A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. I THINK WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM THE VICE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER 'S WE ARE PROBABLY OKAY WITH THAT TRANSACTION SO LONG AS IT PROVIDES FOR LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS AND THAT'S WHERE I THINK THE GAP IS. THEIR ATTORNEY SAID THEY WERE CONCERNED WITH THAT AND COULDN'T AGREE TO THAT TODAY.

>> WOULDN'T THEY HAVE GOTTEN THE APPROVAL FOR CORAL SPRINGS TO DO LIFETIME OR LIFESTYLE FITNESS CENTER? THAT WOULD'VE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED. ANYBODY WHO WENT THERE WOULD'VE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLANNING PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN CORRECT?

>> AT LEAST PORTIONS DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO.

MAYBE IT'S COMMERCIAL, THEY NEED A NEW SITE PLAN, THEY MAY

NEED A NEW -- >> IT WOULD BE SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO BUY THREE OF THEIR PROPERTIES AND WOULD WANT TO CHANGE THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PLANNING AND ZONING THAT CORAL SPRINGS ALREADY PROVIDED AND WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THE PLANNING AND ZONING OF THE THREE OTHER PROPERTIES ALREADY

OPERATING . >> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE TWO

OTHERS. >> THEY COULD BE OUTSIDE .

>> WE ARE WAY HYPOTHESIZING . >> LET ME GIVE MY REASON, LOOK AT SEA. C SAYS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL SHOULD NOT APPLY TO CONVEYANCE OR SALE OR TRANSFER OF PROPERTY IN CONNECTION WITH A CHANGE IN CONTROL OR MANAGEMENT. IT CAN BE LITERALLY JUST A NEW CEO, A NEW PRESIDENT. SOMEONE SAYS WE DECIDED WE WILL DIVEST AND PARKLAND , WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO OPERATE ANYMORE. IT'S NOW EXEMPT. THAT IS A REAL

[01:50:08]

POSSIBILITY. >> WHAT WE DID TALK ABOUT IS IF IT DOESN'T ON THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER THAT THE CITY WOULD HAVE A BUYBACK OPTION TO CONTROL THAT DESTINY. DOES THAT LIMIT THE RISK WE ARE TALKING? WE START POURING FOUNDATIONS, IT GOES AWAY, THAT ALLOWS US TO SELL IT BACK ON THE MARKET IN THE FUTURE? BUYBACK FOR THE CITY AT THE SAME COST WE ARE INTO THE LAND FOR IF WE DON'T BUILD THE CLUB WITHIN 10 YEARS?

>> I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE CONTRADICTORY. I SEE VERY UNLIKELY IN 10 YEARS BEFORE THAT TIME MORE LIKELY THAN NOT LIFETIME CAN EXERCISE THESE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS. I DON'T SEE A COMPANY SITTING ON A PIECE OF LAND FOR CARRYING COST WITHOUT FINDING A WAY TO MONETIZE OR LIQUIDATE.

>> I THINK THAT IS THE POINT. >> GIVE THEM THE ABILITY TO DO WHAT I SAID WITHOUT US HAVING TO WRITE A FIRST REFUSAL.

>> SOMETIMES WHEN CONTRACTUAL PROVISIONS ARE MORE COMPLICATED THEY BECOME MORE COMPLICATED. IN MY VIEW AND WE ENTERED INTO TRANSACTIONS RECENTLY, MULTIPLES OF THE DOLLAR FIGURES HERE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL WAS STRAIGHTFORWARD. I THINK THE FACT THIS HAS BECOME SO CUMBERSOME HAS RAISED SPECULATION OF THE WHAT IF . AS THE VICE MAYOR POINTED OUT IT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT. I NEVER INTENDED AND IF 'VE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS, I NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD BE THIS DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE AS YOU PUT IT.

>> WE CAN HYPOTHESIZE FOREVER. >> FOR THE SAME REASONS --

>> WE DON'T HAVE A MOTION? TABLE?

>> THERE'S A SPECIAL MEETINGS, CONDITIONAL, ALL OF THOSE THINGS. THE PROBLEMS I HAVE IS THE FUNDAMENTAL NATURE. AS THE VICE MAYOR POINTED OUT AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE OTHER MOVEMENTS BUT FOR SOMEBODY WHO IS AN ADVOCATE OF THIS PROJECT HAVING THOSE CONCERNS THE CUMBERSOME MISS OF THAT PROVISION IS CONCERNING. IF IT WERE STRAIGHTFORWARD SAYING IF WE DECIDE THAT WE ARE GOING TO PIVOT, CHANGE COURSE WE GIVE YOU THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. YOU GUYS HAVE TO HAVE A BONA FIDE THIRD-PARTY BUYER IN ORDER TO EVEN TRIGGER IT AND WE ARE SAYING WERE OKAY IF YOU DON'T HAVE A THIRD-PARTY BUYER. IF YOU DO AN INSIDER TRANSACTION I THINK WITH THE VICE MAYOR IS SAYING IF THERE'S A CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT CONTROLS AS LONG AS IT STAYS A FITNESS FACILITY YOU GIVE US THE RIGHT OF FIRST

REFUSAL WE ARE FINE. >> THEY'VE ALREADY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

>> WE UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN. WE DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE AS IT IS TODAY. WE ARE INTERESTED IN ANY PROPOSED LANGUAGE YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH YOU ALL, BUT I'M HERE TO SAY WE HAVE GIVEN A LOT OF CONCESSIONS. WE ARE HERE TO INVEST $75 MILLION INTO YOUR COMMUNITY AND WE WILL NOT WALK

AWAY FROM THE CLUB. >> IT'S UP TO THE VICE MAYOR.

IT IS HIS CALL. >> I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THIS

[01:55:01]

I'M NOT DOING THIS OUT OF THE SAKE OF WANTING TO HEAR MY VOICE. I'VE SEEN IT. I'VE LIVED IT. I APPRECIATE CONCESSIONS LIFETIME HAS GIVEN. WE WANTED IN OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL. WE WANT YOU TO INVEST HERE, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS. WHAT WE DON'T WANT IS TO BE IN A SITUATION WHERE IF YOU DECIDE YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE OR YOU HAVE OTHER PLANS, WHETHER IT'S NOT PUTTING SHOVELS IN THE GROUND OR YOU GUYS WANT TO SELL IT , CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT, YOU DECIDE TO SELL NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL WE NO LONGER HAVE THE ABILITY TO COME TO THE TABLE EVEN IF ULTIMATELY IT'S A PRICE TAG HE CANNOT AFFORD THAT IS ON US. TO SAY WE DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TAKES AWAY IN MY MIND THE WHOLE MEANING OF THIS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE FIRST PLACE. IF THE IDEA WAS AFTER LAST MEETING IF YOU SAID WE ARE NOT OKAY WITH THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION. TO SAY YOU'RE OKAY BUT THEN PROVIDE THESE KIND OF CAVEATS THAT ESSENTIALLY WATER IT DOWN OR CREATE THESE EXIT CIRCUMSTANCES I DON'T NECESSARILY UNDERSTAND IT. WHY GIVE IN PARTIALLY BUT THEN SAY OTHER SITUATIONS YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL? IF THERE IS A WAY TO RE-INSTILL AND EXPLAIN TO ME WHY WE CAN'T HAVE THAT OTHER THAN TO SAY WE WANT TO BE HERE AND SPEND THIS MONEY, GREAT. YOU, TOMORROW, COULD WIN THE LOTTERY AND YOU GO OFF AND LIVE IN YOUR NEW LEADER COMES IN AND HAS A DIFFERENT IDEA. THAT IS ONE OF THE REAL HYPOTHETICALS .

THAT'S WHAT CONTRACTS ARE ABOUT. PREPARING FOR THE HYPOTHETICALS. THE UNREALISTIC MOST LIKELY OF HYPOTHETICALS. I CAN SEE THAT IS A VERY LIKELY EVENT. ESPECIALLY IF NO SHOVEL HAS BEEN PUT IN THE GROUND. THEY MAY HAVE GOTTEN ENTITLEMENTS, BUT IF ANYTHING ONLY ADDS TO THE VALUE OF THE POTENTIAL SALE OF PROPERTY IF SOMEONE WANTS TO BUY IT THEY CAN NOW COME IN AND TIMING CAN BE USED STRATEGICALLY. LET'S SAY THEY DO BUILD IT, LET'S SAY AFTER 15 YEARS THEY NOW DECIDE WE WANT TO DO AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION HERE BECAUSE THAT EXEMPT TRANSACTION ACTUALLY GIVES US A BIGGER CHANCE . THE VALUE GOES UP. IF YOU KNOW WHOEVER THE NEW BUYER IS IS NOT BOUND BY THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL THIS LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS THEY GET TO COME IN AND HAVE A CLEAN SLATE. ALL I'M TRYING TO DO IS FIND A MIDDLE GROUND. IF YOU GUYS WERE WILLING TO AGREE TO A I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN A AND THE REST OF THIS TRANSACTIONS, IF YOU SAID WE CAN'T AGREE FOR ANY OF THEM I WOULD UNDERSTAND IT. I'M HAVING A HARD TIME TRYING TO DISCERN THE RATIONALE. WE WILL STILL BE A LIFESTYLE FACILITY, WE WILL DO EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING. IF SOMEONE NEW COMES IN AND ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES YOU DON'T GET THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND THEY ARE NOT BOUND I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE TO BE UNREASONABLE . I DON'T WANT TO JUST STAND ON PRINCIPLE UNLESS IT IS SOUND PRINCIPLE. IF THERE IS A JUSTIFICATION THAT RATIONALIZES THAT DISTINCTION BETWEEN A AND THE REST THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING TO HEAR. I HAVEN'T

HEARD IT YET. >> I KNOW THE GENTLEMN STANDING BEFORE THE PODIUM WASN'T ON ALL THOSE CALLS.

WHAT I WOULD ADD IS I DID PRESENT SIMILAR LANGUAGE FOR ALL OF THEM . INITIALLY THAT WAS REJECTED . I DID ADVOCATE FOR A MINIMUM FOR PURPOSES OF TONIGHT AT LEAST IN TRANSFERRING TO AN AFFILIATE. NOT THE TWO STANDING BEFORE ME

[02:00:04]

>> I THINK FROM MY STANDPOINT , I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO ASWER THE QUESTION. WHAT I WILL SAY IS IF THERE COULD BE MORE PEOPLE AT THE TOP OF OUR ORGANIZATION INVOLVED IN UNDERSTANDING THIS CONTRACT AND MAKING THE CONCESSIONS WE HAVE IT'S GONE ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP. WE TAKEN THIS AS FAR AS WE CAN. IN TERMS OF THE LANGUAGE THAT THE VICE MAYOR IS ASKING FOR , MAYBE THERE'S A WORLD IN WHICH WE CAN GET THERE. SEAN AND I DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO GIVE THAT TODAY. ALL THAT SAID, THERE'S CORPORATE FINANCE AND CORPORATE LAW.

THAT'S WHY THAT'S HERE. THERE'S A REASON WHY THIS IS A LIST OF THINGS TO CARVE OUT. I DON'T MEAN TO SAY THIS AS A CHANCE TO MOVE, BUT I WOULD SAY WHAT OTHER BUYERS ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE FOR THIS LAND THAT WOULD INVEST A SIMILAR AMOUNT OF MONEY WILL NOT HAVE SOME SORT OF UNDERSTANDING OF CORPORATE FINANCE OR LAW THAT SAYS WE WILL NEED TO HAVE THESE EXCEPTIONS TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE OUR BUSINESS. I MEAN TO SAY THAT AS A CHEST MOVE BUT WE WANT TO INVEST A LOT OF MONEY HERE. WE ARE SOPHISTICATED BEYOND THE TWO OF US HERE. WE HAVE LAWYERS WHO HELP US FIGURE OUT THESE THINGS. WE WANT TO BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY. WE ARE GOING TO INVEST A LOT TO DO SO.

IF YOU CAN AGREE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO CHANGE THAT USE UNLESS AND A WORST-CASE SCENARIO ONCE WE ARE ACTUALLY BUILT DOES THAT BUILD REQUIREMENT OR BUYBACK WITHIN THE FIRST 10 YEARS NOT GET YOU SOME COMFORT BECAUSE THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO FOR YOU IS WE GET ENTITLED, HAVE THE LEAD SITTING HERE AND SAID WE ARE OUT, WE DON'T WANT THIS. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT OF REFUSAL TO BUY THE VACANT LAND. AFTER IT'S BUILT LIFETIME . TO ME THE RISK IS MINIMAL. YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT CALL ON YOUR OWN THAT THE USE WOULD CHANGE. TO ME, THAT FEELS LIKE THE ONLY THING THIS MAKE SENSE OF IS A

LIFETIME. >> IF I CAN INTERRUPT IT'S NOT ABOUT THE CHANGE OF USE I'M CONCERNED ABOUT. OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD BE GREAT. WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS THOSE OTHER ALLOW LIFETIME TO CIRCUMVENT THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

>> ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IS NOT OUR INTENT. THE INTENT IS TO PROTECT OUR CORPORATE FINANCE AND CORPORATE LAW REQUIREMENTS TO OPERATE OUR BUSINESS. I CANNOT SPEAK TO THAT. I DON'T

HAVE THE LAW DEGREE TO DO SO. >> YOU ARE LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND WE ARE LOOKING OUT FOR OURS. I THINK WE'RE BOTH TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING. I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS AND WITHOUT SOME EFFORT.I WOULD ASK IF WE WERE TO TAKE A 10 MINUTE BREAK IS THIS SOMETHING YOU THINK IS WORTH TRYING TO GET SOMEONE ON THE PHONE TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY ABILITY TO HAVE A DEAL MADE TONIGHT?

>> WE CAN CALL OUR ATTORNEYS BUT IT IS DOUBTFUL. WE DO HAVE 185 CLUBS OPEN . THIS IS STANDARD ACROSS THE PORTFOLIO.

>> CAN I OFFER SOMETHING? I'VE BEEN SPEAKING WITH YOUR ATTORNEYS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CITY IS OKAY WITH YOU DOING ANY OF THESE TRANSACTIONS YOU NEED TO DO INTERNALLY. SO LONG DASHA THIS IS A LAYMAN TERM, AS LONG AS IT IS NOT A MEANS TO WEASEL OUT OF THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND GO OFF AND SELL IT ALONG WITH TWO OTHER PROPERTIES, ET CETERA. FOR WHATEVER SOMEBODY ELSE WANTS TO BUILD THERE. THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO GET AT. WE WEREN'T ABLE TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE CONCEPTUALLY MAYBE THERE WAS SOME AGREEMENT. VICE MAYOR, IF I MISUNDERSTANDING I'M SURE YOU WILL LET ME KNOW. THAT'S REALLY WHAT HE'S TRYING TO ADDRESS. ONE OF THESE AIDS IS NOT BEING USED FOR INTERNAL PURPOSES LIKE YOU SAID BUT TO WEASEL OUT OF THE CITIES AND ESSENTIALLY NEGATE IT. THERE WAS A CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT, SORRY. IT IS AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO BUILD WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BUILD. SOMETHING TO

THAT EFFECT. >> IF I CAN UNDERSTAND

[02:05:02]

>> THIS IS UNDER THE CONTEXT OF WE CLOSE, THEY OWN THE PROPERTY AND WE HAVE THIS RIGHT OR FIRST REFUSAL OVER A 20 YEAR PERIOD AND WHAT TRANSACTIONS CAN THEY DO WHERE WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO COME AND MATCH THEM? THEY ARE PROPOSING EIGHT DIFFERENT TRANSACTIONS AND I THINK WHAT I'M HEARING CONCEPTUALLY FROM THE CITY IS WE ARE OKAY WITH YOU DOING THOSE TRANSACTIONS SO LONG AS THEY ARE NOT A MECHANISM TO AVOID HAVING A LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS FACILITY ON THE PROPERTY . PART OF THE REASON WHY YOU WERE SELECTED OR ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT FOR THE CITIES THEY SUPPORT .

>> IF YOU GUYS CHANGE THAT IDEA OF A LIFESTYLE FITNESS AT LEAST YOU COME BACK WITH THE RIGHT TO FIRST REFUSAL.

>> THEY CAN'T CLOSE. >> OR ANY OF THEM OWNED BY ONE CITY BUT LOCATED IN THE NEXT-DOOR CITY? THAT'S WHY THIS IS SO COMPLICATED. I'M SURE THE ANSWER IS NO.

>> WE HAVE DONE A LOT WITH MANY CITIES. I DON'T KNOW.

>> THAT'S A COMPLICATION. WE WANT SOME CONTROL ABOUT WHAT WE ARE GETTING. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE A LIFETIME FITNESS

FACILITY STAYS THERE FOR -- >> IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY THEY CAN'T CLOSE UNTIL THEY HAVE ALL THE APPROVALS FROM

CORAL SPRINGS CORRECT? >> UNLESS THEY CHOOSE TO WAIVE THAT CONTINGENCY. YES. IF YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS BY A CERTAIN TIME YOU HAVE A RIGHT IN THE AGREEMENT TO SAY WE WILL WAIVE THAT AND WANT TO CLOSE EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN'T GET THE APPROVALS.

>> WE DON'T HAVE TO CLOSE. >> IF THEY PERFORM ALL OF THEIR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT THEN WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO CLOSE. OR FACE THE REMEDY DISCUSSED EARLIER .

>> IF I CAN PROVIDE CONTEXT, THE REASON WHY WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO WAIVE OUR APPROVALS AND STILL CLOSE, THE REASON WE ASK FOR THAT IS BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO A PROCESS WE CANNOT CONTROL. FEELS LIKE ALONG AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT TALKING WITH SCOTT IT IS THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF TIME. 12 MONTHS +6 MONTHS TO GET THE APPROVAL FROM THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS AND % BROWARD COUNTY. YOU'VE HIT MONTH 19. TECHNICALLY THE CITY OF PARKLAND HAS THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE BUT WE WANT THE RIGHT TO SAY WE ARE A WEEK AWAY FROM GETTING THIS , WE ARE SO CLOSE, WE INVESTED 3 MILLION INTO THIS. WE WANT TO STEP IN AND BE ABLE TO CLOSE, IT'S A RISK WE ARE TAKING ON OUR SIDE. I DON'T KNOW A PIECE OF DIRT WE HAVE BUT WE HAVE BUILT SOMETHING OTHER THAN A LIFETIME. THE CABALLO DOESN'T WORK AT THIS POINT BUT YOU SELECTED AN OWNER OPERATOR.

>> YOU SHOULD BE FLATTERED BECAUSE THE MEMBERS OF THIS DAIS , BUT FOR ME, WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS A LIFETIME.

>> IT'S INCREDIBLE . WE ARE FLATTERED AND APPRECIATE HAVING A SEAT AT THE TABLE. THE CHALLENGE IS WE LIVE IN A WORLD IN WHICH WE ARE GOVERNED BY --

>> I'VE HEARD ENOUGH. >> I THINK I HAVE AN IDEA. IF YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING TO STICK TO THOSE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS, TIMMY, I THINK THE ISSUE ON MY END IS NOT SO MUCH OBVIATED BUT MITIGATED IF WE INCREASE THE NUMBER OF YEARS IN WHICH THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL EXISTS. IF LIFETIME IS GOING TO BE OPERATING , LET'S SAY 15 YEARS YOU'VE BUILT IT AND YOU GUYS NEED TO DO WHATEVER THESE CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS FOR YOUR OWN CORPORATE FINANCE REASONS, WHAT IT MEANS IS WHICH COULD HAPPEN LET'S SAY AFTER 10 YEARS YOU MAKE AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION, WE NOW TECHNICALLY ONLY HAVE REALLY GOTTEN 10 OF THE 20 YEARS OF WHICH WE BARGAINED FOR. IF YOU GUYS ARE WILLING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER DASHA

>> I THOUGHT THAT WAS -- >> THAT SEPARATE.

>> WHAT WAS THE REQUEST TO INCREASE ?

>> FROM 20 YEARS TO 40. YOU CAN HAVE YOUR EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS, BUT NONETHELESS CONCERNED ABOUT THOSE TRANSACTIONS EATING AWAY INTO THE TERM OF OUR RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. IF ON YEAR 15 YOU DO ONE OF THESE TRANSACTIONS AND NOW THE NEW

[02:10:02]

OPTION. >> I DON'T SEE THAT AS A DIFFERENCE. IF THEY ARE AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION WHETHER IT'S 100 YEARS IT IS EXEMPT. IF YOU CAN'T COME BACK AND SAY WE HAVE AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION BUT IF WE CHANGE IT FROM A FITNESS FACILITY EVEN IN AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION TRIGGERS A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL IT DOESN'T MATTER THE DURATION.

>> IT DOES BECAUSE THERE'S CORPORATE REALITIES THAT NOT EVERY SALE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO FIT WITHIN THESE EXEMPTIONS.

THEY COULD TRY TO BE CREATIVE, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY IF THERE AS SINCERE AS THEY SAY THEY ARE, THESE ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN FOR THEIR OWN CORPORATE NEEDS. I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE KNOWING A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL HAS LONGER LEGS TO IT, A LONGER RUNWAY WHEREAS IF THERE IS AN INITIAL SALE WITHIN YOUR 10 OR YEAR 15 AND IT IS AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION WE NOW STILL HAVE A MEANINGFUL TIME PERIOD . I HEAR YOUR POINT. IT COULD STILL BE AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION. IF THEY ARE SAYING THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO

MOVE THE LANGUAGE DASHA >> ONCE THAT EXEMPTION OCCURS EVEN IF IT IS YEAR TWO OR YEAR 18, ONCE THE EXEMPTION OCCURS IF IT DOESN'T WE TRIGGER THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL MEANINGLESS BECAUSE IT IS EXEMPT.

>> AFTER THAT INITIAL TRANSACTION.

>> UNDER YOUR SCENARIO IF I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN WHICH I THINK IS VERY VALID IF IN YEAR 2 45 THERE IS A CHANGE OF CONTROL THAT MEANS WE HAVE NO RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. IF WE CHANGE THE LANGUAGE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL IS NOT TRIGGERED BY THE CHANGE OF CONTROL. IF YOU STOP OPERATING OR CHANGE CONTROL AND STOP OPERATING AS A FITNESS FACILITY THAN IT TRIGGERS THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. IF YOU CHANGE CONTROL AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE AS A FITNESS FACILITY THERE'S NO RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL , IT'S AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION AND

EVERYTHING IS FINE. >> THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE THAT'S

WHAT WE WANT. >> IT'S NOT THERE NOW. IT'S NOT IN THROUGH THE REST. BY UNDERSTANDING OF THE VICE MAYOR'S POINT IS NOT THAT 20 YEARS WASN'T ENOUGH BECAUSE WE HAVE THE DEED RESTRICTION FOR NO RESIDENTIAL, BUT IT'S NOT THERE NOW BECAUSE YOU CAN HAVE A CHANGE OF CONTROL TOMORROW AND THE BUSINESS COULD BE NOW WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING ELSE AND YOU NO LONGER HAVE A LIFESTYLE FACILITY, NO LONGER A LIFETIME FITNESS . THEY CAN CHANGE THAT BUSINESS MODEL, BUT IF THEY DO THAT AND IT COMES BACK TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO THE CITY AND WE HAVE THE OPTION TO SAY WE WANTED YOU GUYS. YOU GOT A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP CONTROL AND YOU WANT TO SHIP YOUR MODEL SO GIVE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. IF WE CANNOT MATCH THE NUMBER DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. YOU CAN BUILD ANOTHER FACILITY THERE. RESPECTFULLY I DON'T KNOW 40 VERSUS 20 MAKES A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE IT IS STILL EXEMPT.

>> I'M TRYING TO FIND A WAY. THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. I DO WANT TO SEE THIS FAIL. WHY VISION IS WE HAVE ALL THE MOMENTUM WE'VE HAD AND I KNOW A LOT OF TIME AND WORK HAS GONE TO THIS. I'VE BEEN THE MOST VOCAL. I'M TRYING. I'M TRYING

TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING. >> WE CAN AGREE TO 30. ON THE YEAR REQUEST WE CAN AGREE TO 30.

>> DID YOU HEAR THAT? >> THEY CAN GO TO 30.

>> SO 30 YEARS , $100,000 HARD EARNEST MONEY AFTER DUE DILIGENCE . THERE IS THE DEED RESTRICTION I KNOW WE STILL -- HOW ARE WE AGREED TO THE DEED RESTRICTION UNLESS WE HAVE SOME DETERMINATION OF WHETHER IN PERPETUITY?

>> WE ARE GOING TO DO IT AS LONG AS BOTH PARTY ATTORNEYS

FEEL COMFORTABLE UNDER THE LAW. >> AS LONG AS THE RULE .

>> WE WILL DEAL. >> NO RESIDENTIAL.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD ASK SINCE I KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PUT IN WRITING BUT WHAT I WOULD ASK YOU TO PUT YOUR WORD

[02:15:01]

>> TO CIRCUMVENT THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL?

>> IF IT'S IN THE CONTRACT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO IT.

IF YOU CONTRACT AROUND THE ISSUE THEY DON'T.

>> IF THEY GET AN OFFER OF 20 MILLION AND WE HAVE THE REFUSAL THEY ARE GETTING THEIR NUMBER ANYWAY.

>> IF THEY HAVE A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP TOMORROW IT IS AN EXEMPT TRANSACTION. IF THEY THEN DECIDE NOT TO DO A LIFETIME FITNESS THERE IS NO RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. WE DON'T GET TO MATCH ANY OFFER. THAT WAS TO PREVENT THAT

SCENARIO. >> I THINK HE'S ASKING FOR REPRESENTATION THAT IS NOT YOUR INTENT.

>> THAT'S NOT MY INTENT. THAT'S NOT MY INTENT.

>> OKAY. I KNOW LIFETIME CAN BE VERY SUCCESSFUL IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND. I THINK IT'S A GREAT FIT FOR OUR CITY. I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ON THE CONDITIONS OF $100,000 EARNEST MONEY THAT GOES HARD AFTER DUE DILIGENCE --

>> NONREFUNDABLE . >> EXACTLY.

>> IT GOES FOR AS LONG AS THE LAW WILL ALLOW HOPEFULLY IN PERPETUITY BUT WE WILL FIND SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS . I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYONE OUT THERE. NUMBER THREE IS INCREASE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL PERIOD FROM 20 TO 30 YEARS AND THAT'LL BE MY MOTION. WITH THE CAVEAT IN REPRESENTATION IT IS NOT LIFETIME'S INTENT TO CHOOSE ANY EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS AS A BASIS TO CIRCUMVENT THE CITY'S

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. >> WE ARE MAKING ALL OF THESE CONDITIONAL. HIS MOTION IS TO MAKE ALL OF THESE APPROVALS CONDITIONAL UPON A GREEN ON LANGUAGE THAT ADDRESSES THOSE

ISSUES RIGHT? >> IT IS A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT BEFORE YOU WITH THREE CHANGES. THE FIRST ONE IS $100,000 OF WHAT WOULD BE A $400,000 DEPOSIT AT THE POINT OF POST DUE DILIGENCE BE NONREFUNDABLE . WHETHER OR NOT THEY GET THERE APPROVALS OR NOT. THAT IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD LANGUAGE I THINK. I DON'T SEE AN ISSUE WITH THAT. THE SECOND ONE IS IT IS APPROVED BUT AMENDED TO ADD THERE WILL BE A DEED RESTRICTION THAT WILL BE RECORDED IN PUBLIC RECORD AT CLOSING. THAT WILL INHIBIT THE PROPERTY FROM BEING USED FOR AS LONG AS OF THE PERIOD AS PERMITTED UNDER LAW. 99 YEARS OR SOME SHORTER PERIOD IF WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT IS EXCEPT THE WILL UNDER LAW . THE THIRD MODIFICATION WOULD BE THE EXACT SAME RIGHT OR FIRST REFUSAL BEFORE YOU TONIGHT EXCEPT CHANGE FOR A PERIOD OF 20 YEARS

TO A PERIOD OF 30 YEARS. >> THOSE ARE ALL CONDITIONAL CHANGES. CLAIMANT

>> IF IT ENDS UP BEING SOMETHING ELSE IT WON'T BE RESIDENTIAL . THAT IS A HUGE WIN. I'M NOT GETTING RESIDENTIAL. YES. FOR ME IT IS NOT YES I WANT TO SEE LIFETIME , BUT MORE ABOUT THE NONRESIDENTIAL THAT IS MORE APPEALING. LIFETIME IS THE RIGHT PARTNER FOR US.

>> I GET THE URGENCY AND TIMING OF THE ANNEXATION . NOT THAT IT COULDN'T HAPPEN NEXT YEAR BUT I ALSO GET THERE IS A WAY TO DO

[02:20:01]

>> IF WE ARE NOT GETTING NONRESIDENTIAL I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LIFETIME. AS LONG AS IT IS NOT A SEVEN-STORY CONDO COMPLEX

I AM ESSENTIALLY HAPPY. >> THAT'S MY FEELING AS WELL.

>> THAT, TO ME, IS A WIN. >> THAT WAS NOT MY UNDERSTANDING. I THOUGHT THE PASSION BEHIND THIS WAS NOT JUST AVOIDING RESIDENTIAL, IT WAS PUTTING LIFETIME FITNESS THERE. MY WORRY IS YOU'RE NOT ACCOMPLISHING THE SECOND POTENTIALLY. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE.

>> EVEN IF WE GOT THE FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL THAT IS A POTENTIAL. I HAVE FAITH LIFETIME , THEY'VE BEEN HERE FOR ALMOST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO GET INTO THE CITY. FOUR YEARS.

THEY'VE BEEN AT THE TABLE TRYING TO GET HERE IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. CORPORATIONS DON'T SPEND THAT TYPE OF EFFORT OR MONEY TO GO INTO A COMMUNITY TO TRY TO SELL IT WHEN WE HAD NO OTHER BUYERS. WE CAN COME UP WITH EVERY SCENARIO KNOWN TO MAN TO TRY TO AVOID GOING THROUGH THESE CONTRACTS, NOT GETTING RESIDENTIAL , EIGHT AND HALF ACRES, LIFETIME FITNESS.

IN MY OPINION THE CONTRACT HAS BEEN SOLIDIFIED MORE SO THAN IT WAS BEFORE. WE HAVE MORE STIPULATIONS? SURE.

>> I DON'T DISAGREE WE DIDN'T MAKE PROGRESS. I THINK THIS WAS BENEFICIAL FOR THE CITY OVERALL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE GONE AWAY FROM THE CONCERN JUST PRESENT A MINUTE AGO JUST BECAUSE WE ADDED 10 YEARS TO AND OTHERWISE EXEMPT

TRANSACTION. >> THE REASON THE CONCERN WAS MITIGATED IS BECAUSE THE FIRST AND FOREMOST ULTIMATE CONCERN OUT OF ALL THIS WAS TO PREVENT IT FROM BEING RESIDENTIAL. THAT WAS THE GENESIS OF THIS WHOLE GOLF COURSE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THE SECONDARY CONCERN IS WHAT GOES THERE IN TERMS OF COMMERCIAL OPERATION. I WANTED TO BE LIFETIME. I WANTED TO BE LIFETIME FOR A LONG TIME TO THE EXTENT BRIAN SAID THEY HAVEN'T SHUT DOWN THEY'VE DEVELOPED FROM THE BOTTOM UP. I WILL TAKE THE GENTLEMAN AT HIS WORD . THEY HAVEN'T BEEN COMING HERE AND DOING THIS FOR HOWEVER MANY YEARS AND BRINGING THIS TIME TO WORK IN MY MIND TO COME INTO A BAIT AND SWITCH. HE STATED SUCH IT IS NOT LIFETIME'S INTENTION TO CIRCUMVENT ANY RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL BY VIRTUE OF USING ONE OF THESE EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS AS A TROJAN HORSE. SOMETIMES IN DEALS I WILL SAY MYSELF LAWYERS ARE THE ONES WHO KILL THE DEAL. I DON'T WANT TO KILL THE DEAL. I WANT TO SEE IT HAPPEN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE CITY IS PROTECTED AND I FEEL COMFORTABLE ENOUGH WITH REPRESENTATIONS MADE ON THE RECORD WITH CONDITIONS OF THE RESTRICTION ON A DEED FOR HOPEFULLY AS LONG AS WE CAN FOR THE INCREASE IN THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL WE PUT ENOUGH PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN PLACE I THINK WHOEVER SET IT LAST TIME THERE WILL NEVER BE A PERFECT DEAL. THE BEST DEAL IS WHEN BOTH PARTIES WALK AWAY UNHAPPY OR NOT FULLY SATISFIED. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE AT. WE ARE TRYING TO SAY WE WANT EVERYTHING, THEY CAN'T GIVE US EVERYTHING. I DON'T WANT TO CUT OFF OUR NOSE TO SPITE HER FACE HERE. I THINK THEY'VE CONCEDED ENOUGH, THEY'VE SHOWN THEIR COMMITMENT, THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE LOOKED FOR IN MY TERM AS A COMMISSIONER . NOT JUST SAYING HEY WANT A PARTNER OF THE CITY BUT SHOWING IT. THAT'S WHAT I'VE SEEN HERE OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND ESPECIALLY TONIGHT. THAT'S WHY THE CONCERN IS STILL SOMETHING OF CONCERN, BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE CONCERNS.

>> IF THEY SAID TONIGHT THEY COULDN'T DO THE FIRST REFUSAL CHANGE THEN THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT ISSUE. I DID HEAR THAT. I HEARD THEY DIDN'T HAVE AUTHORITY. THAT WAS MY CONCERN.

>> DO OUR REPRESENTATIVES HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO COMMIT CONTRACTUALLY TO WHAT YOU HAVE STATED AND WHAT ANTHONY PUT ON

THE RECORD? >> YES.

>> I WILL SECOND. >> IS EVERYBODY CLEAR ON THE EDITS? OKAY. $100,000 NONREFUNDABLE POSE DUE

[02:25:02]

TO 30 YEARS. OKAY. >> THE OPTIONS ARE WE VOTE ON

THIS MOTION TONIGHT OR WHAT? >> WE HAVE TWO MOTIONS.

>> THERE IS A MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> AS A SPECIAL MEETING AN OPTION?

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

>> I'M ASKING IF IT FAILS. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT

THE OPTIONS ARE. >> SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY PRIOR TO THE JANUARY 7 HEARING. IT WOULD BE TIGHT.

>> WE ALREADY WENT TO THE PUBLIC ONE MORE TIME. ANYBODY

FROM THE PUBLIC? ROLL CALL. >>

>> YES WITH THE REPRESENTATION ON THE RECORD OF THEIR INTENT.

YES. >> PASSES 4-1.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH,

PERIOD. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. GOOD EVENING. I AM THE HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR FOR CITY OF PARKLAND. BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION IS THE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND POTENTIAL INCREASE FOR THE CITY MANAGER. PURSUANT TO THE CITY MANAGER'S CONTRACT , HER EVALUATION INCREASES BASED UPON THE CITY'S GOALS AS SET FORTH IN THIS STRATEGIC PLAN. THE AVERAGE RECOMMENDATION FOR INCREASE RECEIVED WAS 3%. THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TO DISCUSS IS THE DETERMINATION REGARDING THE MERIT INCREASE. I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. >> I WILL CHIME IN AS WELL. I THINK YOU ARTIE KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU AND WHAT YOU DO FOR NOT ONLY OUR COMMISSION BUT THE CITY AS WELL. AT LEAST FROM WHEN I FIRST STARTED THIS I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH CONTEXT TO PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE THE PERFORMANCE LEVEL OF OUR CITY MANAGER UNTIL NOW THAT I'VE HAD SOME YEARS IN THE SEAT AND BEING ABLE TO NOW SEE HOW OTHER CITIES OPERATE AND WHAT THE CITY MANAGERS DO OR DO NOT DO I THINK WE HAVE ALSO SEEN IT FROM THE EYES OF THE STAFF AND RESPECT AND APPRECIATION THEY HAVE FOR YOU. IT IS SPECIAL. THERE'S ALWAYS THE FEELING YOU HAVE OUR BACKS AND YOU GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MAKE SURE NOT ONLY THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS MOVING THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND THE WORK AND DIRECTION WE ACTUALLY VOTE AND AGREE ON IS EXECUTED, BUT TO ALSO KNOW THAT IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE OR SHOULD BE DONE THAT MAY NOT EVEN BE REQUIRED YOU ALWAYS TAKE THAT NEXT STEP. I APPRECIATE THAT, I'M GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SERVICE AND I THINK YOU MAKE US A BETTER TEAM AND OUR CITY BETTER BECAUSE OF IT, THANK YOU.

WELL DESERVED.

>> IS THERE A MOTION? MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> PUBLIC INPUT? >> I KNEW THIS WOULD COME BACK

TO BITE US ONE DAY. >> FORMER COMMISSIONER. THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. NANCY, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO NOT ONLY WORK WITH YOU FOR A VERY LONG TIME IN MY TWO TERMS BUT ALSO THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN ON THE INTERVIEWS FOR REPLACING CITY MANAGEMENT. WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS INTERNALLY DURING THE QUESTIONING PROCESS ABOUT WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS WERE IN MOVING FORWARD IN THE CITY AND YOU WERE VERY DETAILED, YOU ARE VERY POINTED ABOUT WHAT YOU WANTED TO SEE, NOT ONLY IN REGARDS TO HOW OUR CITY WAS GOING TO GROW AND PROSPER AND MAINTAIN ITSELF FROM A FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE, BUT ALSO HOW YOU WANTED TO SEE YOUR STAFF TREATED AND YOUR EMPLOYEES WORKING AND GETTING THE BENEFIT OF A GOOD WELL-PAYING JOB. I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT IN THE TIME I'VE SERVED HERE YOU HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT. YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVED EVERYTHING I ASKED YOU TO DO, THAT HE ASKED YOU TO DO AS A COMMISSION AND I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU. I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING YOU AS OUR CITY MANAGER FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. THANK

YOU VERY MUCH. >> WELL SAID. OKAY. ANYONE

ELSE? >>
