>> COMMISSIONER . COMMISSIONER BRIER.

>> I KNOW WE'VE GOT A PACKED HOUSE, SO I'LL BE BRIEF I JUST WANT TO FIRST START BY THANKING NANCY AND THE STAFF, CHRISTINE, FELICIA, ALL THOSE. WHEN WE STARTED TALKING, I THINK IT WAS 4+ YEARS AGO, STRATEGIC PLANNING BOUT BRINGING BACK PARKLAND DAY TO THE CITY IT WAS HARD TO ENVISION THAT, NUMBER ONE, IT WOULD HAPPEN AND. NUMBER TWO, THAT IT WOULD BE SO WARMLY RECEIVED AS A TRADITION THAT I GREW UP WITH A KID ATTENDING AND IT'S REALLY SO NICE TO SEE ALL THE HARD WORK THAT I KNOW OUR STAFF DOES TO PUT THAT TOGETHER OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS. IT HAS JUST BEEN, I THINK, A STREET EFFECT OF ADDING ON TO THAT EVENT IT WAS A GREAT DAY. EVERYTHING FROM THE PARADE TO THE NAMING OF THE FIRE STATION FOR ONE OF OUR FORMER MAYORS TO THE VOLUNTEER LUNCH TO THE CONCERT AND A LOT OF FUN FOR THE KIDS AND FAMILIES OUT THERE. THANK YOU TO OUR STAFF, OUR CITY MANAGEMENT STAFF, CITY MANAGER AND ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER FOR ORGANIZING THAT AND ALL THE HARD WORK TO PUT THAT TOGETHER. THE CHAMBER EVENT WAS ANOTHER GREAT EVENT. IT'S WAS, GIVEN THE CHAMBER STARTED UP 10 YEARS AGO AND TO SEE EVAN AND SOME OF THE ORIGINAL FOUR MEMBERS WHO STARTED IT BACK UP WITH US, IT WAS A REALLY NICE OCCASION TO SEE THE GROWTH OF NOT ONLY OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY, BY THE FOLKS WHO ARE INVESTIG INTO PARKLAND, WHETHER IT'S BECAUSE THEY HAVE BUSINESSES HERE OR THEY LIVE HERE OR HAVE BUSINESSES ELSEWHERE. IT WAS A REALLY NICE EVENT TO SEE EVERYONE TURN OUT FOR THAT. WE HAVE OUR FARMER'S MARKET WITH THE CRAFT FAIR COMING UP THIS WEEKEND. I ALSO WANT TO WISH RAMADAN , HAPPY RAMADAN TO OUR MUSLIM NEIGHBORS.

AND PARKLAND RESIDENTS. WHEN WE STARTED THIS SORT OF TRADITION LAST YEAR OF THEM SHARING THEIR CULTURE AND TRADITIONS WITH US I THOUGHT IT WAS A WONDERFUL WAY TO BREAK BREAD WITH SOMEBODY, BREAK DOWN BARRIERS, HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT OUR DIFFERENT UPBRINGINGS AND CULTURES. IT'S REALLY BROUGHT US CLOSER TOGETHER AS RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORS. I THANK THEM FOR THAT VERY MUCH. WITH THAT, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS

>> COMMISSIONER MURPHY'S ALIMONY.

>> I WILL KEEP MY COMMENTS BRIEF AS WELL. I THINK THAT COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN AND BREYER COVERED MANY THINGS .

WHICH IS GREAT. I DO WANT TO WISH SAMANTHA HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN. AND NANCY, OUR CITY MANAGER, A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY.

THE OPENINGS , FREE OPENING OF BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL WAS AWESOME TO BE PART OF. AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE CHAMBER, 10TH ANNIVERSARY. I SAY THIS A LOT. IF YOU HAVE INTEREST IN JOINING THE CHAMBER YOU ARE A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER OR OTHERWISE INTERESTED IN CONNECTING FROM A CHAMBER PERSPECTIVE, YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY JOIN. IT IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY NETWORK AND A WONDERFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE AND IT CONTINUES TO GROW. THEY DID A PHENOMENAL JOB PARKLAND GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB FOR THEIR 10TH ANNIVERSARY WAS SO MUCH FUN . WE GOT A LOT OF PICTURES AND LOTS OF PEOPLE DANCING. IT WAS JUST A GREAT CELEBRATION. DEFINITELY THE WALL FOR FRIENDSHIP , SO IMPORTANT. REALLY ENJOYED BEING PART OF THAT AS WELL. OF COURSE, MY FIRST TIME AS A NON-BYSTANDER TO ACTUALLY BEING IN THE PARKLAND DAY PARADE FOR OUR CITIES 62ND BIRTHDAY, THAT WAS AMAZING. ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS AND HER DOG WERE

[00:10:01]

AND WE JUST HAD SO MUCH FUN CELEBRATING THE CITY AND SUCH A GREAT TURNOUT. AND THEN BECKY GUERIN TRIBUTE . JUST SUCH A WONDERFUL DAY . AND INTO THE EVENING THE CELEBRATION THERE.

FINALLY, I WANT TO SAY HAPPY RAMADAN. JUST ENJOYED SO MUCH.COM LOTTERY IN MEETING MUSLIM NEIGHBORS TONIGHT AND SHARING AND BREAKING BREAD WITH THEM. IT WAS SUCH GREAT FOOD. I COULD HAVING ABOUT 10 PLATES A BIT. BUT MAYOR, THOSE ARE MY

COMMENTS, THANK YOU. >> VICE-MAYOR ISRAEL.

>> IT HAS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW THESE COMMISSIONERS. LOOK, I DON'T HOW MUCH CHANCE OF KNOW HOW MUCH MIKE IS ABOUT PARKLAND DAY THAT HASN'T BEEN SAID. I AGREE THAT EVEN PRIOR TO MY TIME OF BECOMING COMMISSIONER PARKLAND DAY HAD NOT YET BEEN BROUGHT BACK. A WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT BRINGING BACK THE 60TH BIRTHDAY SEEMED TO ME LIKE HE WAS GOING TO BE THESE BIG HURRAH IS JUST FOR THE CELEBRATION OF THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR CITY , BUFFER IT TO CARRYOVER AND TO SEE IT STILL GETS THE SAME EXCITEMENT IN THE SAME ENGAGEMENT FROM OUR COMMITTEE BEYOND JUST A BIG CELEBRATION AND AN ANNUAL THING, IS SO ENJOYABLE TO ME BECAUSE, NUMBER ONE, GETTING THE CHANCE TO SEE THE SMILING FACES OF PEOPLE AT A BREAK, ESPECIALLY IN YOUR THROWING CANDY I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THEM, THAT IT'S REALLY AT THEM. MY KIDS PARTICULARLY. THEY FIND IT FUN TO THROW CANDY.

I KEEP EXPLAINING TO THEM, STOP HITTING PEOPLE. IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN ONLY USUALLY FIND IN CITIES OR TOWNS THAT HAVE THIS, QUOTE, SMALL TOWN CHARM . HE NOWADAYS IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY HARDER TO FIND THAT TO HAVE IT HERE IN BROWARD COUNTY AND PLACES OTHERWISE, STILL HE TRAVELED STILL A PRETTY MODERN AND SOPHISTICATED CITY IS A COOL BALANCE THAT I THINK IS HARD TO FIND. PARKLAND IS A VERY WELL. THANK YOU TO STAFF. I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK AND TIME GOES INTO THAT. IT'S GREATLY APPRECIATED BY ALL OF US. THANK YOU. I ALSO HAD A REALLY INTERESTING EXPERIENCE I WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO OUR CORAL SPRINGS OAKLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT. ONE THING THAT DEPUTY CHIEF JASON GONZALES HAS SAID TIME AND TIME AGAIN, WHICH IS THESE FIRE STATIONS ARE OUR FIRE STATIONS, RIGHT? WE ARE THE RESIDENTS WE HELP SUPPORT IT, PAY IT, FUND IT. WE HAVE ALWAYS SAID WHAT SOMETIMES SEEMS LIKE A THING TO SAY, YOU KNOW, COME VISIT US.

COME CHECK IT OUT . CHECK OUT YOUR STATIONS. MEET YOUR FIREFIGHTERS. IN FACT, I LIVE IN WATER CREST AND FIRE STATION 109 HAPPENS TO BE DIRECTLY ABUTTING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I WAS ON A BIKE RIDE WITH MY TWO KIDS MY DAUGHTER JUST SO HAPPENS TO HAVE A HUGE AFFINITY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY I WON'T SAY WHICH ONE SHE'S MORE OF A FAN OF, WHAT, EXACTLY. NOW THAT THE SHERIFF IS HERE IT WAS DEFINITELY BSO. WE WERE WRITING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, IT'S LITERALLY THERE IS KIND OF A BUSH AND A LITTLE WIRE CHAIN THAT SEPARATES BOTH MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE STATION. I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT? LOCAL -- LET'S GO TAKE THE MOST TRAVELED UP ON THIS. WE PARKED OUR BIKES ON THE SIDE OF THE SIDEWALK AND I COULD SEE PAST THIS LITTLE CHAIN WIRE IS A GENTLEMAN SITTING INSIDE THE FIRE STATION DOING SOME WORK ON A LAPTOP. I POLITELY YELLED AT HIM, AS HE SEES AS I COULD WITHOUT TRESPASSING, AND HE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY NICER. I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO RICH POLO UNTIL WHO SPENT MORE THAN 15 TO 20 MINUTES TO TAKE MY KIDS AND I ON A TOUR OF THIS FIRE STATION. NOT JUST A PHONE 10 KIND OF TO HER, PASSIONATE, EMPHATIC , HE EVEN SHOWED ON THE FIRED TRUCK THERE IS CAT LITTER, WHICH MIGHT KIDS FOUND FASCINATING PERBIX WIND IS BECAUSE SOMETIMS THERE'S CARTWHEEL THEY HAD TO CLEAN UP AND IT'S EASIER ALL THESE THINGS AND BY THE END OF IT ALL, ALSO SHOUT OUT TO PRISCILLA DAY REAL. THESE INDIVIDUALS TOOK THE TIME TO NOT ONLY SHARE THEIR PASSION FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT , BUT GIVE MY KIDS AND APPRECIATION FOR WHAT IT MEANS TO REALLY DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO SAFETY AND HEALTH AND SAFETY . IT'S REALLY MEANT A LOT TO ME. IT PROVED ARE FIRED FROM IT, AND I KNOW BSO AS WELL, IT'S NOT THAT THEY JUST TALK THE TALK, THEY WALK THE WALK. WE INVEST A LOT IN OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY AND IT SHOWS THAT OUR INVESTMENT IS WELL-FUNDED. I APPRECIATE EVERYONE FOR THAT. I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN HASSAN AND THE ENTIRE MUSLIM COMMUNITY FOR TONIGHT. NOT ONLY IS THIS THE SECOND YEAR WE HAVE DONE, BUT TO ACTUALLY DO IT AT CITY HALL IS SPECIAL. LAST YEAR WITH THAT DAY SHALL BLUE THIS IS REALLY A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. I THINK WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT IS TO UNDERSTAND THAT PARKLAND IS MADE UP OF A DIVERSE GROUP OF PEOPLE AND FOR PEOPLE TO COME TO OUR CITY HALL AND NOT ONLY FEEL COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO CELEBRATE THEIR HOLIDAYS WITH US, THE TO ACTUALLY DO IT OVER BREAKING BREAD, WHICH IS OVER VERY DELICIOUS FOOD, I WILL SAY, IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME, BECAUSE I THINK ANYTIME , I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOUR BACKGROUND IS, RELIGIOUS IDEOLOGY, WHATEVER, IF YOU CAN

[00:15:02]

IF ANYONE HAS NOT SIGNED UP , I RECOMMEND. THERE ARE STILL SOME LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THAT. OTHER THAN THAT,

THAT'S ALL I GOT. THANK YOU. >> VICE-MAYOR . IT'S HARDER FOR ME TO FINISH, BECAUSE NOW I HAVE TO FOLLOW YOU. YEAH. PARKLAND DAY, THERE'S REALLY NOTHING ELSE I CAN SAY THAT ANYBODY ELSE HASN'T ALREADY SAID. STAFF DOES A FANTASTIC JOB FOR ONE THING WE MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT IS SEEING IF WE CAN GET FELICIA A SOUND EFFECTS MACHINE. WHILE SHE DID A GREAT JOB AT DOING THAT , YOU KNOW. ANYWAY. PARKLAND DAY, IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. THE PARADE WAS GREAT. I'M ABLE -- I'M GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO BRING IT BACK IN SO WELL ACCEPTED BY THE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU TO OUR ENTIRE MUSLIM COMMUNITY. HAPPY RAMADAN. THANK YOU FOR THAT . I DO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MST ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES PARKLAND SO SPECIAL IS OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM. THIS WEEKEND THE DECO PROGRAM WENT TO STATE . WE WERE WATCHING IT ON THE LIVESTREAM. YOU COULD JUST SEE KIDS AFTER KIDS QUALIFYING FOR THE INTERNATIONAL PART. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. OBVIOUSLY, SELFISHLY, MIKE SON DIDN'T QUALIFY -- DID QUALIFY FOR THE INTERNATIONAL, SO BIG SHOUT OUT TO SCOTT AND ALL THE KIDS I DIDN'T QUALIFY. IT WAS REALLY SPECIAL. AND IT WAS GOOD. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO BROWARD DAYS NEXT WEEK . WE ARE ALL GOING UP TO BROWARD DAYS.

BROWARD DAYS IS SOMETHING UP IN TALLAHASSEE THAT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH LEGISLATORS TO TALK ABOUT SOME STATE ISSUES ONE OF THE MEETINGS WE HAVE SET UP IS TALKING TO DISCUSS 911 COMMUNICATIONS . CHRISTINE THAT IS A MEETING WITH THE HEAD OF THE DEP TO TALK ABOUT SOME WATER QUALITY ISSUES THAT WE ARE HAVING IN SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES. WE ARE ALSO TALKING TO ONE OF THE INSURANCE OIR REPRESENTATIVES . I ALSO WANT TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO REPRESENTATIVE FUN TASK YOU TODAY , OUR ANNEXATION OF CORAL SPRINGS MOVED FROM COMMUNITY TRAFFIC COMMITTEE TO THE NEXT STEP. WE ARE GETTING THAT MUCH CLOSER TO GETTING THE 8.5 ACRES OF CORAL SPRINGS ANNEXED INTO PARKLAND. VERY EXCITED FOR THAT . THAT WILL HELP THE VILLAGE WHEN WE GO INTO DESIGN AND DEVELOP MEANT OF THE VILLAGE.

THE ENTIRETY OF THE VILLAGE WILL BE LOCATED IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND. IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR US SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WORK WITH OTHER CITIES. THANKS TO CORAL SPRINGS FOR ALSO , I KNOW, THERE SHE IS, CATHERINE, THANK YOU. I ALSO WANT TO BRING UP A LITTLE BIT ABOUT I HAD A TOWN HALL YESTERDAY. AT THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER TO TALK TO SOME RESIDENTS OF THE RANCHES. I THINK IT WAS A PRODUCTIVE MEETING. WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS , YOU KNOW, THE POSITION THAT THE CITY HAS CURRENTLY . AND ALSO GAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM A LOT OF THE RESIDENTS. TONIGHT I KNOW WE HAVE A PRESENTATION . WE ARE NOT VOTING ON ANYTHING TONIGHT, BUT WE HAVE A PRESENTATION THAT I THINK THE RESIDENTS OF THE RANCHES WILL BE VERY INTERESTED IN HEARING AFTER THAT PRESENTATION. EVERYBODY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME UP AND SPEAK. LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING SOME OF THAT. I THINK THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE. SO, NOW WE WILL GO ON. WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST. SHERIFF TONY IS HERE.

[00:20:02]

>> >> FIRST OF ALL, TO THE COMMISSION AND MAYOR AND ALL THE SUPPORT STAFF THEY KEEP THE CITY OPERATING, AND WALKING US BACK INTO THIS HOUSE. IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS YOU FACE-TO-FACE, DESPITE THE PHONE CALLS AND COMMUNICATIONS WE HAVE REPEATEDLY. TODAY'S AN IMPORTANT MOMENT , THE ENTIRE NORTH PART OF MY COMMAND STRUCTURE FOR THIS COUNTY. WE HAVE HAD MAJOR AMY RUSSO WHO LED AS ORIGINAL NORTH COMMAND FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS . TRULY DID A SUPERB JOB. BUT HAVING BEEN IN THAT POSITION FOR SIX YEARS IT BECOMES STAGNATION IT ALSO HAS AN IMPACT ON HER PERSONAL CAREER AS SHE HAS AMBITIONS TO CONTINUE TO PROMOTE AND MOVE UP IN THE ORGANIZATION. IT'S VERY TIMELY FOR ME TO MOVE HER OUT OF THIS POSITION, MOVE FOR OVER TO HEADQUARTERS TO TAKE ON NEW RESPONSIBILITIES AND NEW CHALLENGES WITH THAT IT PRESENTED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PROMOTE ANOTHER OUTSTANDING CAPTAIN THAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE ORGANIZATION WHO HAS DONE A SUPERB JOB IN BOTH THE LAW ENFORCEMENT, AGGRESSIVE NATURE OF THEIR PURSUIT OF THOSE VIOLENT CRIMINALS, BUT ALSO BEING BALANCED ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY PROGRAM THAT WAS BEING EXECUTED IN HIS DISTRICTS WAS ALSO JUST INVALID. OFTEN TIMES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT YOU CAN BE TOO HEAVY ONE WAY AND WHAT HAPPENS IS YOU CAN YOU LOSE YOUR COMMUNITY. TODAY I WANTED TO COME HERE PERSONALLY AND REINSURE THIS COMMISSION THAT ONCE AGAIN WE ARE RELOADING THIS COMMUNITY WITH AN OUTSTANDING MAJOR WHO IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUPPLEMENT AND COMPLEMENT WITH CAPTAIN MCARDLE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO SO THUS FAR. MICHAEL HERE TODAY IS TO HIGHLIGHT THIS .

THIS AGENCY IS A LARGE ORGANIZATION. ALMOST 6000 STRONG. VERY COMPETITIVE FOLKS. IS A VERY COMPETITIVE ORGANIZATION. WHEN INDIVIDUALS APPLICATIONS FOR PROMOTIONS OR REUMES COME ACROSS MY DESK DON'T TAKE THAT LIGHTLY. WE CAN'T WE CAN'T AFFORD TO PUT PEOPLE IN THESE ROLES THAT ARE NOTREADY. THE IMPACT AND RIPPLE EFFECT IS PERHAPS, THERE'S A CATASTROPHIC LOSS IN THE COMMUNITY. I TAKE EVERY SINGLE FATALITY THAT TAKES PLACE IN ALL OF THIS COUNTY PERSONALLY.

SOMETIMES IS TOO MUCH TO CARRY, BUT I THAT'S WHY PEOPLE VOTED ME IN THIS OFFICE. WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I'M EXCITED TO INTRODUCE OUR MAJOR FOR THE NORTH COMMAND, CHRISTOPHER DE GIOVANNI . I WANT TO GIVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAYBE SAY A WORD OR TWO TO THE COMMISSION, IF THA'S APPROPRIATE. AND UNDERSTAND THIS, WE ARE 100% IN ON HIM. WHEN I HAVE MEETINGS WITH MY COMMAND STAFF TO THIS UNILATERAL , THIS PERSON IS GETTING PROMOTED. THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME. WE SIT AROUND ALL OF OUR KERNELS, AND WE TALK ABOUT WHO IS THE BEST PICK MAC.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY KERNELS, THIS WAS A FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK. THIS WAS NUMBER ONE IN OUR SELECTION. UNDERSTAND, FOLKS, WE DIDN'T GIVE YOU OUR NUMBER TWO OR NUMBER THREE, WE GIVE YOU OUR NUMBER ONE. CHRIS, CONGRATULATIONS.

I STAND ON HIS SHOULDERS, BECAUSE OF WHAT HE DID WHAT I WANT TO

[00:25:01]

[9. Regular Agenda]

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. NINE A IS A PRESENTATION, BRANCHES ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS SPECIAL ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, VICE-MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS.

FOR THE RECORD, ELLIE SCHWARTZ, FINANCE DIRECTOR. AS YOU ARE AWARE, HUNGER -- CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE ROADS IN THE RANCHES HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED FIRST QUITE SOME TIME NOW. LAST YEAR IS STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 BUDGET STAFF WAS INSTRUCTED TO INVESTIGATE ASSESSING THE COST OF THOSE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE IMPACTED HOMEOWNERS. IN ORDER TO HELP FACILITATE THIS PROCESS THE CITY HIRED GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES SOUTH FLORIDA , LLC, TO DEVELOP THE ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY AS WELL AS NEIGHBORS GIBLIN AND DICKERSON P.A. TO PROVIDE THE LEGAL GUIDANCE AND TO ASSIST US WITH PREPARING THE ASSESSMENT RESOLUTIONS AND DOCUMENTS . CONTINUING WITH THAT PROCESS, IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR THE CITY PASSED TWO DIFFERENT RESOLUTIONS . THE FIRST WAS APPROVING THE CONTRACT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL AS THE ROADWAY RESURFACING IN THE RANCHES. THE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT PORTION OF THE PROJECT IS ANTICIPATED TO BEGIN IN FISCAL YEAR 2026. AT THE SAME MEETING, ANOTHER RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WHICH AUTHORIZED THE CITY TO USE THE UNIFORM METHOD OF COLLECTING NON- AD VALOREM SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR THE COST OF FUNDING ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS AND RELATED SERVICES. THAT BRINGS US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. THIS EVENING WE HAVE HEATHER WITH US VIRTUALLY FROM NEIGHBORS GIBLIN NICKERSON . AND SHE WILL BE PROVIDING THE LEGAL BACKGROUND FOR THE ASSESSMENTS. RICH HANDS IS WITH US IN CHAMBERS AND HE WILL BE PRESENTING FOR GMS THE METHODOLOGY. AFTER THEY FINISH I WILL BE COMPLETING WITH A FEW SLIDES AND THEN WE CAN OPEN IT UP FOR ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS. WITH THAT I AM GOING TO OPEN THE PRESENTATION.

I WILL TURN IT OVER TO HEATHER AND RICH. THANK YOU.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, VICE-MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS. IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE. AND ABLE TO HELP YOU WITH THIS ROADWAY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM MY NAME IS RICH HANDS WITH GOVERNMENTAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES SOUTH FLORIDA. OUR OFFICE IS IN SUNRISE, FLORIDA. OUR COMPANY SPECIALIZES IN MANAGING SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICTS AROUND THE STATE OF FLORIDA. MOSTLY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT FLORIDA. OUR DIVISION GOES FROM BASICALLY BREVARD DOWN TO MIAMI AND A LITTLE BIT OVER IN COLLIER AND LEE COUNTY. WE MANAGE RIGHT NOW APPROXIMATELY 90 COMMUNITY DEVELOP MEANT DISTRICTS EACH ONE OF THOSE HAVE AT LEAST ONE BOND ISSUE. SOME FOUR OR FIVE WE HAVE DEVELOPED

[00:45:05]

WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON STAFF AND FAMILIAR WITH THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS. AND WE HAVE HEATHER FROM HERE AS WELL TO PRESENT. WE MIGHT AS WELL JUST GET STARTED. I THINK HEATHER IS GOING TO START WITH THE FIRST COUPLE OF SLIDES.

>> YEAH. THANK YOU, RICH. I CAN'T SEE THE SLIDES, SO I'M JUST GOING TO HAVE TO ASK SOMEBODY ELSE TO FORWARD THEM .

IF YOU COULD GO TO THE SLIDE ON SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. THE FIRST ONE. I'M GOING TO START TALKING, SO WE ALL HAVE A BUSY SCHEDULE. I DON'T WANT TO KEEP EVERYONE WHILE I'M WAITING FOR THE TECHNOLOGY TO CATCH UP. WE ARE HERE TONIGHT TO DISCUSS A POSSIBLE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT , WHICH INCIDENTALLY IS OFTEN SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS A NON-AD VALOREM ASSESSMENT . THE SAME THING, AND THAT KIND OF NON-AD VALOREM ASSESSMENT IS USED WHEN IT'S COLLECTION ON THE TAX BILL. PROPOSED ASSESSMENT IS TO FIND THE CITIES PLAN ROADWAY AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE RANCHES SUBDIVISION. I'M GOING TO PROVIDE SOME GENERAL INFORMATION , THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. GENERALLY, IN ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS SPECIFICALLY . AND THEN AFTER A FEW SLIDES I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO RICH. HE WILL DISCUSS THE APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY THAT HE IS RECOMMENDING . AND THE PRELIMINARY PRO FORMA SPECIAL ASSESSMENT READS. WHAT IS A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT? A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT IS A REVENUE SOURCE AVAILABLE TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN FLORIDA TO FUND OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSES AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR ESSENTIAL SERVICES AND FACILITIES SUCH AS ROADS, DRAINAGE, FIRE PROTECTION, UTILITIES, SOLID WASTE AND OTHER PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS HAVE BEEN AROUND IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER SINCE THE EARLY 1900S. SOME OF THE MORE COMMON EARLIER ASSESSMENTS, IN FACT, WHERE THOSE FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS, SUCH AS STREET AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS. THERE'S ACTUALLY A 1921 FLORIDA SUPREME COURT CASE APPROVING ROAD AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS. THIS DEFINITION OF A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT HERE ON YOUR SLIDE IS TAKEN FROM ONE OF THOSE EARLY, EARLY CAPITAL CASES. THEY TELL US CITY SPECIAL ASSESSMENT IS A CHARGE ASSESSED AGAINST THE PROPERTY OF A PARTICULAR LOCALITY BECAUSE THAT PROPERTY DRIVES A SPECIAL BENEFIT FROM THE EXPENDITURE OF THE MONEY. NEXT SLIDE. SINCE THE DAYS OF THOSE EARLY CAPITAL ASSESSMENTS THE COURTS IN FLORIDA HAVE ELABORATED AND IT DEFINED THE LEGAL SUFFICIENCY TEST FOR A VALID SPECIAL ASSESSMENT. THE COURTS HAVE SAID THAT A VALID SPECIAL ASSESSMENT IN FLORIDA MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING TWO PART TASKS FOR THE FIRST PRONG IS THE BENEFIT PRONG THE SERVICE OR THE IMPROVEMENT MUST FOR A SPECIAL BENEFIT TO THE PROPERTY CHARGED AND THE SECOND THE TRAFFIC PROVIDES THAT THE ASSESSMENT MUST BE FAIRLY AND REASONABLY APPORTIONED AMONG THE PROPERTIES THAT RECEIVE THE SPECIAL BENEFIT , SO THAT NO ONE PROPERTY IS BEING MORE THAN THE AMOUNT OF THE BENEFIT THAT IT RECEIVES.

NEXT SLIDE. THAT'S FOR THE COURTS HAVE FOUND THAT THE FOLLOWING SERVICES OR FACILITIES MEET THIS FIRST PRONG, THE SPECIAL BENEFIT PRONG. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED FOR YOU, STREET IMPROVEMENTS. AS I JUST MENTIONED EARLIER, THAT IS ONE OF THE OLDEST FACILITIES THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED TO BE FUNDED BY A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DATING BACK TO THE EARLY 1920S. NEXT SLIDE. THERE ISN'T AS CLEAR A TEST FOR THESE SECOND PRONG OF THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT LEGAL SUFFICIENCY TEST, THE PHARAOH AND REASONABLE APPORTIONMENT PROMPT. RATHER, IN DEVELOPING THE SESSION -- THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT PROGRAM THE CITY MUST DERIVE A LOGICALLY AND FACTUALLY DRIVEN METHOD TO DEVELOP AND SPREAD THE COSTS AMONG THE BENEFITED PROPERTIES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS DETERMINATION, SO YOUR BOARDS DETERMINATION, BOTH SPECIAL BENEFIT IN THE MANNER OF APPORTIONMENT RECEIVED TWO DIFFERENT -- JUDICIAL DEFERENCE AND WILL TYPICALLY BE UPHELD UNLESS THEY ARE SHOWN TO BE ARBITRARY. THIS ASTOUNDED OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL SEPARATIONS OF POWERS PROVISIONS INDOCTRINATED IN THE STATE. SO THAT THIS GUIDANCE IS CLEAR THAT THE APPORTIONMENT OF BENEFITS THE LEGISLATIVE FUNCTION FOR THIS FOR TO UNDERTAKE AND IF REASONABLE PERSONS MAY DIFFER AS TO WHETHER THE LAND ASSESSED WAS BENEFITED BY THE LOCAL

[00:50:01]

YOU. >> DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THUS FAR OR SHOULD WE MOVE ONTO THE NEXT? OKAY.

>> THANK YOU. ONE OF THE THINGS MENTIONED BY HEATHER IS WE NEED TO DEFINE THE AREA THAT BENEFITS FROM THE IMPROVEMENTS. AS YOU ALL KNOW, THE RANCHES IS THAT AREA. YOU CAN SEE THE MAP WHERE IT'S BOUND. I'M SURE YOU ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA. AND THIS IS THE AREA THAT IS RECEIVING THE BENEFIT FROM THE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS. THAT'S WHERE THESE ROADS ARE BEING MADE, REPAIRED OR FIXED . OR THE PROJECT IS.

JUST MINIMIZE IT . THERE AGO. >> NO PROBLEM. IN GENERAL, WHAT WE CAN DO WE FIND THE ASSESSMENT HERE TO DEFINE THE METHODOLOGY.

WE DEFINE THE AREA, WHICH IS HERE. THAT WE DEFINE WHAT THE COST OF THE PROJECTS ARE. THAT HAS BEEN DONE. THE COMMISSION HAS ALREADY APPROVED THE PROJECT. AND THEN WE TAKE THE PROJECT AND DETERMINE HOW MUCH , HOW YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR IT.

IT'S GOING TO BE FUNDED THROUGH A NOTE OR A BOND. WHAT THAT AMOUNT WOULD BE. AND THEN WE ALLOCATE THOSE COSTS IN A FAIR AND REASONABLE APPORTIONMENT. AS MENTIONED EARLIER. SO, THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS WHAT THE PROJECT IS. IT'S BUILDING AND RESURFACING, REWORKING EXISTING BAYS, REVERSING THE CROSS SLOPE, PUTTING SOME GUARD RAIL INSTALLATION, SIGNAGE, PAPER AND MARKERS PART OF TROTTERS LANE IS GOING TO BE CONVERTED TO A ONE-WAY ROADWAY . INSTALL SOME MARKERS FOR FIRE HYDRANTS. AND THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF THE PROJECT , WITH PROFESSIONAL FEES AND CONTINGENCIES IS $4,768,000 $830. THAT WORKS OUT TO 10,001 HER $14.17 PER WHAT WE CALL AN ASSIGNED ACRE. WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT IN ONE MINUTE. THE NEXT SLIDE IS TALKING ABOUT THE ZONING WITHIN THE RANCHES. THE RANCHES ARE ALL IN SOME TYPE OF AN AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT. WE HAVE AE1 ZONING, AGRICULTURE STATES WHICH HAS A MINIMUM OF TWO ACRES FOR SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING. AE TWO IS 2.5 ACRES AND AE1 ZONING IS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING WITH A MINIMUM OF ONE ACRE. ALL THESE REZONINGS , IN ADDITION TO A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING, THEY HAVE , SO THE ZONING ALLOWS FOR SOME LIMITED AGRICULTURAL USES, SUCH AS BEEKEEPING, NURSERIES, GREENHOUSES, GROVES, HORTICULTURAL FARMING. IN ADDITION TO JUST HAVING SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES , SOME OF THESE PROPERTIES HAVE SOME ABILITY FOR AGRICULTURAL USES. THE BENEFIT , WHAT WAS TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, EVERY LOT WERE RESIDENT WILL RECEIVE SOME TYPE OF SPECIAL BENEFIT . THE DETERMINATION FOR EACH PARCEL IS BASED ON WHAT WE ARE CALLING THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THAT PROPERTY THAT IS THE -- MUST BE VISIBLE USE OF THAT PROPERTY ALLOWED BY THE ZONING. LARGER PROPERTIES HAVE MORE AREA TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE ADDITIONAL USES. AND RECEIVE MORE BENEFIT THAN SMALLER PROPERTY WOULD. THE PROPERTY WHICH I MENTIONED, WHICH WE ARE RECOMMENDING USING WHICH IS CALLED AN ASSIGNED ACREAGE, WHICH IS CALCULATED BY TAKING THE ACREAGE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE AND ROUNDING DOWN TO THE NEAREST HALF-ACRE FOR EACH PARCEL . THE REASON FOR THAT IS THERE CAN BE VARIATIONS WITH THE PROPERTY APPRAISER. THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY AN OFFICIAL , YOU KNOW,

[00:55:06]

THAT WILL ELIMINATE SOME OF THAT DIFFERENCES. ALSO, IT'S NOT REALLY A LINEAR BENEFIT. IF YOU HAVE LIKE 1/10 OF AN EXTRA ACRE REALLY CAN ADD TOO MUCH TO YOUR PROPERTY. IF YOU'RE UP TO A HALF ACRE THAT'S WHY IS GOING IN INCREMENTS OF HALF AN ACRE FOR ALLOCATING THE ASSESSMENTS TO IT TURNS OUT THERE BEFORE HUNDRED 71 ASSIGNED ACRES WITHIN THE RANCHES. -- 471 ASSIGNED ACRES WITHIN THE RANCHES. THE PROPERTY UTILIZATION OF THE ROADWAY NETWORK WITHIN THE ASSESSMENT AREA WHEN DEVELOPED TO ITS HIGHEST AND BEST USE CAN REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO CORRELATE WITH THE PROPERTIES ASSIGNED ACRES. AND THEN THE NEXT SLIDE, WE TALK ABOUT FUNDING THE PROJECT. THERE IS NOTE SIZING. I MENTIONED THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE THE $4,768,000. THERE IS OTHER FEES THAT GO ALONG WITH FINANCING .

THERE'S A DEBT SERVICE RESERVE . AT THIS TIME THE BANK IS SAYING THEY WOULD WANT ONE YEARS ANNUAL ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS $150,000, SET ASIDE AS SECURITY. CAPITALIZED INTEREST , THEY ISSUED THE NOTE TO THE TIME YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST ASSESSMENT THERE IS INTEREST ACCRUED. THAT IS THE $148,000. AND THEN THE COST OF ISSUANCE IS WHAT THE BANK IS ESTIMATED TO CHARGE. THE TOTAL BOND WOULD BE $5,387,840. THESE ARE BASED ON CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS , 5.5% INTEREST RATE, 20 YEAR AMORTIZATION. IF YOU PAY OVER 20 YEARS THE DEBT SERVICE I MENTIONED. AND THEN THE CAPITALIZED INTEREST FOR SIX MONTHS. THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT TO PAY THAT BOND OR NOTE DOWN IS $459,852 ANNUALLY. SO THEN USING THE ALLOCATION , BASED ON THE ASSIGNED ACREAGE, WE HAVE MENTIONED THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE NOTE IS A 5,387,008 400 AND -- THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT ASSIGNED, I'M SORRY -- THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT PER ACRE , PER ASSIGNED ACRE, IS $11,000 427.

THE MAXIMUM ANNUAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE NOTE WE MENTIONED IS $450,000 852. THE MAXIMUM ANNUAL ASSESSMENT PER ACRE, IF YOU TAKE THAT $450,000 AND DIVIDE IT BY THE $471,000 -- 400 -- 471.9 ACRES IS THE ASSESSMENT PER ACRE. WHEN IT'S COLLECTED ON THE TAX BILL THE COUNTY COLLECTS A 2% COLLECTION FEE . THERE IS A 4% STATUTORY EARLY PAYMENT DISCOUNT THAT IS ALLOWED.

THERE'S A 1% THAT THE CITY WOULD RETAIN FOR UNCOLLECTED AMOUNTS. YOUR TAX BILL AMOUNT PER ASSIGNED ACRE IS $1020.18.

IF YOU GO THROUGH THE ASSESSMENT WILL YOU WILL SEE THAT THE AVERAGE ASSIGNED ACREAGE FOR FOLIO IS 2.5 ACRES , WHICH RESULTS IN AN AVERAGE MAXIMUM ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE ON THIS -- ASSESSMENT OF $2570.45 . THAT'S THE 2.5 TIMES THE 1028. AGAIN, THESE AMOUNTS ARE ESTIMATES AND CAN BE , YOU KNOW, CHANGED BASED ON AS A FINAL NOTE SIZING. ONE THING TO NOTE, BACK ON ONE OF THE EARLIER SIDE -- SLIDES WE MENTIONED THAT THE PRAGER AMOUNT IS 10,114 PRAGER AMOUNT IS $10,114. FOR THE CAPITAL COSTS, THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS . A RESIDENT WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY PRIOR TO THE NOTE BEING ISSUED TO PAY THAT AMOUNT AND NOT HAVE THE ADDITIONAL COST , SO THE FINANCING AND INTEREST. THAT'S MY SUMMARY . THE FULL REPORT IS IN YOUR PACKETS I HOPE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO READ IT OVER. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME KNOW.

>> DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DO WE WANT TO HAVE KELLY FINISH UP AND ASK QUESTIONS? GO AHEAD. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, RICH. AS HE JUST

[01:00:02]

JUST UNDER $15.2 MILLION. THE FUNDING FROM THAT PROJECT IS PROPOSED TO COME FROM THREE DIFFERENT SOURCES. THE FIRST WAS WITH AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT FUNDS, WHICH WERE APPROVED TO BE USED FOR DRAINAGE PROJECTS . THAT FUNDING IS JUST UNDER $5.3 MILLION, $5.274 MILLION. THAT ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT 35% OF THIS OVERALL PROJECT . THERE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE GENERAL FUNDS THAT ARE USED FOR BOTH THE DRAINAGE PIECE AND A PORTION OF THE ROADS PIECE FOR THE CITY DOES OWN PROPERTY IN THIS AREA AND THE CITY IS COVERING THE ASSESSED PIECE , THAT IS THE CITIES, THE CITY WILL BE COVERING THOSE COSTS AS WELL. THAT'S ABOUT $5.6 MILLION. THAT MAKES UP 37% OF THIS OVERALL PROJECT. THE FINAL PIECE IS WHAT WE WERE PRESENTING EARLIER. THAT THE RESIDENTS ROAD PIECE THAT IS ABOUT $4.3 MILLION. THE NUMBER THAT WAS IN THE METHODOLOGY REPORT INCLUDES THE CITY PIECE WE PULL THAT OUT. SO, FOR OR $.39, THAT AMOUNTS TO ABOUT 20% OF THE OVERALL PROJECT WHEN YOU SEE BIG PICTURE FOR BID -- BIG-CITY PROJECT PICTURE, THERE IS OVER 10 MILLIONS DOLLARS OF THE CITIES FUNDING TO GO TOWARD THIS PROJECT AS WELL. TO HOPEFULLY IMPROVE THIS AREA FOR ALL OF THE RESIDENTS. NOW TO GO AND WHAT WE CAN EXPECT NEXT FROM THE ANTICIPATED SCHEDULE. IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WE DO HAVE TO PASS A MASTER CAPITAL ORDINANCE. AS YOU KNOW, ORDINANCE TAKES TWO READINGS. WE ANTICIPATE BRINGING THAT BEFORE YOU IN JUNE AND JULY. THAT THERE WILL BE AN INITIAL ASSESSMENT RESOLUTION THAT WOULD PLAN ON PRESENTING IN JULY. WE HAVE TO SEND OUT FIRST-CLASS NOTIFICATIONS AND HAVE ADVERTISEMENT WE ANTICIPATE THAT WILL BE OCCURRING IN AUGUST. AND THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING TO ADAPT THE FINAL ASSESSMENT RESOLUTION, ÚW SEPTEMBER. THERE ARE GOING TO BE MANY MORE OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE CAN DISCUSS THIS PROJECTAND THIS ASSESSMENT FURTHER. OUR PLAN TO FUND THE PROJECT, AS WAS MENTIONED, IS DIRECT PLACEMENT DEBT WE DID TALK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF DOING A BOND, BUTTON BONDS CAN BE MUCH MORE COMPLEX. THEY ALSO USUALLY COST MORE MONEY. IN ORDER TO GIVE THE RESIDENTS THE BEST BENEFITS OF A FUNDING SOURCE , WE ARE CHOOSING TO GO WITH SINGLE BANK LOAN TO FUND THIS PROJECT AND THE ASSESSMENT PORTION. WHAT WE DECIDED IS THAT THE ASSESSMENT COLLECTION WILL BEGIN IN 2026.

ALTHOUGH WE ARE MOVING FORWARD , WE ARE HAVING THE METHODOLOGY REPORT BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THE ORDINANCE AS WELL AS THE RESOLUTIONS, THE CITY IS GOING TO DIFFER THE COLLECTION OF THE ASSESSMENT . SO, THE ASSESSMENT, IF THE PROPERTY CHOOSES NOT TO PREPAY AND CHOOSES TO GO WITH THE ASSESSMENT PATH, THE ASSESSMENT WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE TAX BILL THIS YEAR IN 2025. THEY WILL OCCUR NEXT YEAR IN 2026. WE DID WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT INFORMATION WAS ALSO RELAYED. MY CONTACT INFORMATION IS ON THE SCREEN. IT'S ALSO ON THE WEBSITE . SO, IF RESIDENTS WANT TO CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AND THEY WANT TO HAVE A FURTHER DISCUSSION, I'M ALWAYS AVAILABLE. WE ARE HERE FOR YOU THIS EVENING . HEATHER IS STILL ONLINE . AND WE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, KELLY. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

>> I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. NUMBER ONE, THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT WHO OWNS THE LAND OF THE ROADS. IN PINE TREE WE OWN OUR PROPERTY LINE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET . IN THE RANCHES THE RESIDENTS AND HOMES DO NOT OWN THEIR PROPERTY --

>> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT PINE TREE. SCOPE IN THE RANCHES THAT'S NOT THE CASE. IS WHAT I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, YOU LIVE IN PINE TREE. IS BECAUSE

[01:05:03]

>> YES. DOES NOT MATTER IN DETERMINING IF RESIDENTS CAN BE ASSESSED FOR WORK THAT'S BEING DONE , WHO OWNS THE ACTUAL PROPERTY OF THE ROADS? DOES THAT MAKE ANY FACTOR AT ALL IN THIS? I CAN ANSWER THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF MS. HANSEN KNOWS OR WANTS TO ANSWER THAT. DID YOU HEAR THAT, HEATHER?

>> YEAH. HERE THE ROADS ARE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY . CERTAINLY, THAT SIMPLIFIES THE PROCESS FOR THE RANCHES. IS THEY ARE ALREADY THE CITY ROADS. BUT THEY DIRECTLY SERVE THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE ABUTTING TO THEM AS LOCAL ROADS. SO, THAT'S A VERY COMMON PORTFOLIO UNTIL IT'S WHEN YOU DO A ROAD ASSESSMENT.

>> OKAY. SO, IT'S ACTUALLY LESS COMPLICATED TO ASSESS IT WHEN IT'S OWNED BY THE CITY RATHER THAN WHEN IT'S OWNED BY THE

INDIVIDUAL HOMES. >> ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY. IT BECOMES , I MEAN, THE ASSESSMENT PIECE IS NOT SO MUCH THE LIMITING FACTOR. THE LIMITING FACTOR IS HAVING THE ABILITY TO DO WORK ON THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL ROADS. WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY UNDER CITY CONTROL THAT ARE PART IS SIMPLIFIED. IS WHAT I UNDERSTAND. MY SECOND QUESTION IS, IS THE CITY OBLIGED TO COVER THE ASSESSMENT FOR PROPERTIES THAT ARE OWNED BY THE CITY WITHIN THE RANCHES? IS THAT AN OBLIGATION THAT THEY HAVE TO DO?

>> YES. THAT WOULD BE, THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE BEING BENEFITED NEED TO NOT PAY MORE THAN THE AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT THEY RECEIVE. SINCE THERE IS CITY PROPERTY OUT THERE, THE COSTS NEED TO BE A PORTION OF THE CITY PROPERTY IN THE CITY

WOULD PAY THOSE COSTS. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH .

>> DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO? OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE IT OBVIOUSLY, JUST FOR THE AUDIENCE THAT'S HERE, THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN DETERMINING WHAT THE ASSESSMENT WILL BE. OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S GOING TO BE, YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TONIGHT TO SPEAK, FOR THERE WILL BE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUTURE TO SPEAK FOR THE FINAL DECISION IS MADE OF WHAT THAT ASSESSMENT LOOKS LIKE. THAT I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TO ALL UNDERSTAND IS THIS IS A PROJECT IN THE RANCHES . WE CAN ARGUE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE SOONER OR DIFFERENTLY OR WHATEVER. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, IT'S BEING DONE NOW. THIS COMMISSION , THE PREVIOUS COMMISSION AND THIS COMMISSION WILL CONTINUE MOVING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. WE WERE VERY ADAMANT THAT THINGS THAT WERE NOT DONE IN THE PAST, THAT NEED TO BE DONE, WILL GET DONE. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I, QUITE FRANKLY, AM VERY PROUD OF OUR COMMISSION FOR STICKING TO THOSE GOALS WHETHER IT'S THE PINE TREE ROADS, WHETHER IT'S THE HAREM THEY POP -- PROPERTY THAT WE PURCHASED, WHETHER IT'S FIXING THE RANCHES, A LOT OF THESE THINGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE SOONER. COULD HAVE BEEN DONE SOONER. HOWEVER YOU WANT TO ARGUE THAT . THEY ARE BEING DONE NOW, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THIS COMMISSION WANTS TO DO. UNFORTUNATELY, WE KNOW AS WORK GETS FINISHED, WHETHER IT'S OLDER DIFFERENT OR WHATEVER, THOSE WHO ARE SITTING ON THE DAIS AT THE TIME HAVE TO BEAR THE BURDEN OF THINGS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE PAST. THAT IT'S OUR JOB TO MAKE SURE TO MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE FORWARD AND NOT KICK THE COAT -- CAN DOWN THE ROAD. THIS COMMISSION AND VERY -- PREVIOUS COMMISSION COULD HAVE SAID LET'S KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE IS IN OFFICE. SO I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. THAT IS NOT THE WAY THAT I HAVE GREAT. THAT IS NOT THE WAY OUR COMMISSION OPERATES. AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE IN THIS POSITION. I BELIEVE AT THIS JUNCTURE A $15 MILLION PROJECT , WE DON'T HAVE TO PULL THE FLIGHT UP, BUT I'M USING ROUNDABOUT NUMBERS, OF A $15 MILLION PROJECT FOR US TO ACHIEVE $5 MILLION IN HERBAL FUNDING, KUDOS TO OUR GRANT TEAM. AND THEN FOR THE CITY TO ALSO CONTRIBUTE ANOTHER $5 MILLION , IT MAKES SENSE AGAIN, ASSESSING , RAISING TAXES , NO COMMISSION WANTS TO DO THAT. NO COMMISSION WANTS TO DO THAT. IN ORDER TO GET THINGS DONE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT ARE NOT POPULAR.

AGAIN, KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD IS NOT SOMETHING I'M WILLING TO DO. WE ARE IN THIS POSITION AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR RESIDENTS OF THE RANCHES TO WORK TOGETHER WITH US TO COME OUT

[01:10:02]

>> FRED AVENUE, 90 20 NORTHWEST 70 COURT IN THE RANCHES.

>> I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, IN THIS TYPE OF SETTING THERE IS

NOT A BACK-AND-FORTH . >> OKAY. YEAH.

>> IF THERE ARE SIMPLE QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN ANSWER WE WILL.

STAFF WILL BE AVAILABLE OUTSIDE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. WHAT YOU CAN ALSO SEND ANYONE OF US UP HERE TONIGHT AND EMAIL, A TEXT MESSAGE . MY EMAIL IS R WALKER AT CITY OF PARKLAND.ORG MIND PHONE NUMBER IS 973-390- 1493. ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE THAT WE CANNOT ANSWER TONIGHT WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO GET BACK WITH YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

>> OKAY. AND AS A MENTOR BEFORE THE MEETING STARTED, I'M GOING TO SEND YOU TOMORROW. THIS WOMAN SAID, IF I UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHT, IS THERE A PHYSICAL COPY OF WHAT YOU JUST PUT THERE?

>> EVERYTHING PRESENTED HERE AT ANY OF OUR MEETINGS, IF YOU GO ON THE CITY OF PARKLAND WEBSITE YOU CAN GO INTO THE AGENDA SECTION AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT. IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLES I CAN

EMAIL IT TO YOU. >> TERRIFIC. THANK YOU FOR ONE OF THE THINGS AS YOU MENTIONED, YOU HAD A PUBLIC FORUM . ONE OF THE THINGS YOU SAID THERE, WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT WAS REPEATED HERE, WAS THAT RIGHT NOW , WE UNDERSTAND THINGS COULD CHANGE, THE CHARGE WOULD BE ABOUT $1020 PER ACRE PER YEAR FOR 20 YEARS.

AND THAT INCLUDED THE 5.5% COMPOUNDED INTEREST. A QUESTION I HAVE, MAYBE YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO IT, IS IF SOMEBODY CHOSE TO PREPAY IT THEY WOULDN'T PAY THE COMPOUNDING INTEREST DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST PER ACRE NOT THE

WHILE -- THE 1020? >> IN THE PRESENTATION THE NUMBER WAS $10,150 OR SOMEWHERE LIKE THAT. I DON'T GET IT. IF YOU PREPAY IT YOU ARE GOING TO PAY $10,100 PER ACRE FOR 20

YEARS. >> NO. THAT'S A ONE-TIME FEE.

SPEAK I GET IT HOW MUCH IS IT? >> $10,000 117.

>> PER ACRE? YES. THAT I WOULD DO THE MATH THAT'S A ONE-TIME

FEE OF $10,000. >> YES.

>> OKAY. THAT WAS IN THE PRESENTATION.

>> YES . >> THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS WHEN YOU SHOW THE MAP OF THE AFFECTED AREA, THAT MAP HAD A BLACK LINE THAT INCLUDED RANCH ROAD AND HOLMBERG ROAD. IS THAT JUST A MISTAKE? I'M ASSUMING WE ARE NOT BEING ASSESSED ANYTHING

FOR RANCH ROAD OR HOLMBERG ROAD. >> NO. IF YOU ALSO LOOK AT THE PRESENTATION, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS CLEAR, THE CITY IS DEDUCTING WHATEVER CITY OWNED ROADS , THAT IS THE CITY'S.

>> THE MAP HAD IT INCLUDED. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE THAT DEDUCTS THE COST OF THOSE PORTIONS AND

THE BALANCE IS WHAT IS $1020. >> CORRECT.

>> TO YOUR POINT, THE CITY OF PARKLAND DOES PAY FOR THE 12 ACRES OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU OWN. THE CHURCH ALSO OWNS ACRES IN THE RANCHES. ARE THE AFFECTED BY THIS LEXUS

>> ANYONE WHO GETS THE SPECIAL BENEFIT THAT HAS HOMES ON THE

ROAD IS GOING TO BE ASSESSED. >> I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TAXES, WHAT I THOUGHT CHURCHES --

>> IT'S A QUESTION YOU CAN SEND ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE

ANSWER. >> PERFECT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANYTHING ELSE? HELLO COMMISSION. ALAIN TREJO, 7920 NORTHWEST 84TH AVENUE. PARKLAND, FLORIDA. IN THE RANCHES. I GUESS THE FIRST THING I NEED TO DO IS POSITION MYSELF AS A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS . FOR THE LAST 33 YEARS I HAVE BEEN IN THE BOND BUSINESS I MADE MYSELF AVAILABLE TO THE COMMISSION PREVIOUSLY. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TO DO THE DEBT SERVICE, WE ARE GOING TO ASSUME THAT EVERYTHING GOES AS IT IS IN THE ASSESSMENT AND EVERYTHING. WE SHOULD BE GETTING SUB 5%, WHICH WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS TO PEOPLE THAT DO HAVE TO PAY IT. IF THIS GOES DOWN THE ROAD OF EACH INDIVIDUAL HAVING TO PAY IT, PLEASE , I DON'T HAVE TO DO

THE DEAL , YOU HAVE TO -- >> WE WILL SHOP AND LOOK FOR THE BEST PRICE. RIGHT NOW WE ARE USING 5.5% WE HAVEN'T SHOPPED

IT. >> OKAY. I WOULD PRAY ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE IN THE RANCHES, IF THIS GOES THIS WAY, PLEASE UTILIZE ME. I APPRECIATE THE CITY MANAGER'S WORK ON ANOTHER ISSUE WE HAD ON 84TH. THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT. OBVIOUSLY, NO ONE

[01:15:07]

>> IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THE NUMBERS INCLUDED IN THE PRESENTATION TODAY ARE ESSENTIALLY LIKE A WORST-CASE

SCENARIO. >> THANK YOU.

>> ANYONE ELSE? >> HIGH. I'M HEATHER MEANY, 8989 NORTHWEST 70TH COURT, PARKLAND, FLORIDA. FIRST OFF, I DO WANT TO APPRECIATE SO MUCH THAT SOMETHING IS HAPPENING IN THE RANCHES. YOUR COMMENT ABOUT NOT KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD I APPRECIATE. I HAVE BEEN HERE EIGHT YEARS. I HAVEN'T EVEN LIVED MY PROPERTY NINE MONTHS FOR WE HAD OUR FIRST FLOODING INCIDENT I WAS AN ISLAND. I HAD FISH IN MY DRIVEWAY MY KIDS WERE IN ROWBOATS IN THE BACKYARD. IN 1964 BRUCE B BLUNT, HE WAS THE BBB OF BBB RANCHES. HE SOLD AND DEEDED FOR $10 MAC PORTIONS OF THE LAND THAT MAKE UP THE ROADS, THAT ARE THE CITY OWNED PORTIONS OF THE ROADS AND CANALS . I ASK YOU ALL TO CONSIDER WHY AND IN WHAT SPIRIT THE FOUNDERS OF OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY DEEDED THE ROADWAYS AND WITH WHAT INTENT AND EXPECTATIONS THE ORIGINAL CITY COMMISSION ACCEPTED THIS LAND . GIVEN THAT AT THE TIME THERE WERE NO HOAS AND SEEMS FAIRLY OBVIOUS THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THE ROADS AND CANALS WOULD BE MAINTAINED BY THE CITY OF PARKLAND. THE ORIGINAL FARMERS AND EQUESTRIANS, THEY CERTAINLY HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND MATERIALS AND SO FORTH TO BUILD ROADS THEMSELVES. THAT THEY DIDN'T CHOOSE TO KEEP THEM PRIVATE. THEY ARE AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PUBLIC. DO THEY PROVIDE A SPECIAL BENEFIT? YES.

I LIKE BEING ABLE TO DRIVE UP TO MY HOUSE. AT AT THE SAME TIME, EVERY SINGLE DAY THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE FROM PARKLAND WHO DO ENJOY IT. I KNOW THAT MOST OF YOU WITH KIDS WHAT YOU HAVE PROBABLY DRIVEN THROUGH THEIR AND YOUR KIDS HAVE LOOKED AT THE HORSES AND PATTED THE LLAMAS OR WHATNOT. I KNOW THAT YESTERDAY MORNING I'M GETTING CUT OFF BY MILITANTS OF BIKE RIDERS GOING THROUGH . I KNOW THEY DON'T DO MUCH WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ROAD, FOR WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THESE ROADS DO BENEFIT PEOPLE.

BEYOND JUST THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE RANCHES. I AGREE, CITY WATER, SEWER, THOSE PROVIDE A SPECIFIC BENEFIT TO THE HOMEOWNER. NOBODY'S COMING INTO MY HOUSE AND GETTING A GLASS OF WATER. THAT PEOPLE ARE DRIVING MY ROADS THAT DON'T LIVE IN THE RANCHES THAT AREN'T, HAVEN'T BEEN INVITED IN. IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $435 PER PARCEL IN PARKLAND IF IT WAS SPREAD EVENLY. I AGREE, NOT EVERYBODY GETS AS MUCH BENEFIT AS WE DO.

MAYBE WE SHOULD BE ASSESSED A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT MAYBE SOME OF THE COST COULD BE DEFERRED AROUND. CERTAINLY, I HAVE PUT MORE THAN 30 -- $435 OF MY TAXES INTO THINGS I NEVER BENEFIT FROM THE CITY. IF THE CITY WOULD MAINTAIN THE COMMITMENT MADE 70 YEARS AGO , START, IF THE CITY WOULDN'T MAINTAIN THE COMMITMENT BABY THE ROADS IT SHOULD BECOME PRIVATE. THE CITY COULD FIGURE OUT WAYS TO ACCESS LIBERTY PARTY AND THE EQUESTRIAN FIELD FROM HOLMBERG ROAD. OF THE PROPERTY VALUES ARE GREAT IT'S GREAT THAT IT'S GOING TO INCREASE THAT, BUT I DON'T INTEND TO MOVE. IT'S NOT GOING HELP ME ANYTIME SOON. I DON'T WANT THIS TO TURN INTO LIKE IN A TO A VERSUS NON-A TO A KIND OF THING KIND OF FEELS LIKE THAT'S ALREADY WHERE IT'S GOING. AND I WOULD JUST ASK, ONE OF THE GRANTS -- OKAY.

>> THANK YOU, HEATHER. ANYONE ELSE?

>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS MONIQUE , I AM A RESIDENT OF PARKLAND, 6790 NORTHWEST 83RD TERRACE. SINCE 2003 . IT'S A BEAUTIFUL CITY. WHY I MOVED HERE. AND WHY I'M VERY SAD TO HAVE TO BE AT THIS PODIUM FOR THE TWO TIMES I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 21 YEARS. ROADS ARE NOT A SPECIAL BENEFIT WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED FOR 40 OR 50 YEARS. AND THE FOUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE BEEN PAYING PROPERTY TAXES THAT HAVE BUILT THIS CITY. WE DON'T FIND THAT TO BE A SPECIAL BENEFIT. WE FIND THAT TO BE INFRASTRUCTURE NEGLECT. MAYOR, VICE-MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, CITY MANAGER, CITY ATTORNEY AND CITY CLERK, I HOPE YOU HEAR MY VOICE, BECAUSE I DO SPEAK FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NANCY. I JUST LEARNED THAT. THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENCE HERE ON WHAT WE SPEAK OF. MAYOR WALKER, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN THE MAYOR HERE FOR 40 OR 50 YEARS. AND THOSE PREVIOUS MAYORS HAD MUCH LOWER BUDGETS TO WORK WITH. WAY UNDER

[01:20:01]

UNFORTUNATELY, THE CITY TOOK $10 MILLION ON A TRANSFER OUT OF THAT PLAN. AND PUT IT TOWARDS ANOTHER PARK . PERHAPS YOUR VILLAGE THAT WILL BE PROBABLY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT WAS $10 MILLION THAT YOU TOOK AWAY FROM US AND NOW YOU FINANCIALLY ARE BURDENING US WITH THAT. WITH RESPECT TO THE LEGAL, THE FINANCE DIRECTOR, WRENCH -- RICH HANS AND HEATHER, THERE'S A REASON WHY GRANT FRIENDS ARE FREE MONEY AND THAT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE FOR THE PEOPLE.

IMPROPER USE OF GRANT FUNDS AND STARTING A PROJECT WITHOUT HAVING PROPER EASEMENTS IS PROBABLY CONSTITUTE FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT. IF YOUR GUIDANCE IS BY LEGAL I SERIOUSLY QUESTION LEGAL. I CAN'T HAVE, I KNOW I AM HAVE THREE MINUTES AND I KNOW PEOPLE WILL GIVE ME MORE TIME. THERE IS JUST A FEW THINGS THAT I DO WANT TO SAY. I HAVE NEVER BUILT A HOUSE WITHOUT HAVING A PERMIT FIRST. AND UNDER ARPA FUNDS, WHEN FUNDS ARE FREE MONEY, THAT MEANS THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE AGREED TO GIVE YOU UP THERE PROPERTY EASEMENT AND THEY AGREE WITH THIS PROJECT.

AND THE REASON WHY THIS PROJECT LACKS EASEMENTS IS BECAUSE ALL

THIS CONVERSATION -- >> WE ARE GOING TO NEED YOU TO WRAP UP. IS WHAT I WILL WRAP IT UP. THESE EASEMENTS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE UNDER ANY GRANT FUNDS OF THE FREE MONEY TO START A PROJECT WITHOUT HAVING THE REQUIRED EASEMENTS SIGNED OVER. AND THAT'S INCLUSIVE IF YOU ARE BUILDING A HOUSE. YOU CAN'T BUILD A HOUSE UNLESS YOU HAVE YOUR PERMITS FIRST. YOU CAN'T USE FUN MONEY AND PUT IT INTO THE AREA WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE THE EXPENSE TO START A PROJECT.

YOU START A PROJECT, YOU BURDEN A CONTRACTOR, BRING IN EQUIPMENT, ALREADY DESTROYING THE ROADS THAT HAVE ZERO STRUCTURE, ZERO-BASED, NO BASE WHATSOEVER AND YOU BURDEN US. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN LOCATE THE MONEY IN THE FUNDS THAT ARE $21 MILLION -- $21 MILLION 257. THERE'S MONEY SITTING IN A FUND. IF YOU'RE LOOKING SO WE ARE FINANCIALLY BURDENED, THE MONEY IS SITTING IN YOUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. THANK YOU

FOR YOUR TIME. >> IS OR ANYONE ELSE? -- IS

THERE ANYONE ELSE? >> HIGH. AS SOME OF YOU KNOW --

>> YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE .

>> LORI, -- AS YOU KNOW, I DID ANALYSIS ON THE RANCHES. I CALCULATED 474 ACRES , .35. AND YOURS IS 471. BUT, I DID NOT INCLUDE ALL THE LAND BETWEEN RANCH ROAD AND HOMEWORK. I DIDN'T INCLUDE THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER AND ALL OF THOSE OTHER ACRES. I'M WONDERING IF THOSE ACRES ARE ALSO GOING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS? THIS PROJECT? THEY ARE? SO, I HAVE A REAL DISCONNECT THEN, BECAUSE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A FEW ACRES AND I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT THAT. THAT WOULD BE MORE MONEY VERSUS WHAT I SAW. I ALSO , TALK ABOUT ROUNDING DOWN TO THE NEXT LOWEST HALF-ACRE. IF YOU HAD 1.2 ACRES WOULD THAT ROUND DOWN TO ONE ACRE FOR THE ASSESSMENT? YES? OKAY. OKAY. AND EVEN IF YOU WERE AT 1.8 IT WOULD ROUND DOWN TO

ONE ACRE. >> NO, IT WOULD ROUND DOWN TO 1.5. IS OKAY. I'M SORRY 1.5. A.B. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IT IS? OKAY THANK YOU. ALSO, IF WE WERE TO PAY UP-FRONT IS THAT GOING TO BE FISCAL YEAR 2026 THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OR

2025? >> KELLY CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION. MY UNDERSTANDING IS UP FRONT WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID THIS

YEAR. IS THAT CORRECT, KELLY? >> BUT WHY WOULDN'T WE BE AT

THE SAME TIME AS ANYBODY ELSE? >> IF YOU SEND ME AN EMAIL WE WILL GET CLARIFICATION ON THAT ANSWER.

>> RIGHT. OKAY. OKAY. AND LET'S SEE, -- AND IF YOU CAN FIND MORE

[01:25:05]

APPRECIATE THAT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THE LAST THING THAT I WILL SAY ON THIS TOPIC , OUR STAFF CONTINUES TO LOOK AT WAYS OF GETTING GRANT DOLLARS , FINDING DIFFERENT WAYS TO SAVE MONEY ON PARTICULAR PROJECTS, SPECIFICALLY PINE TREE PINE TREE WE HAD ORIGINALLY ESTIMATED CLOSE TO $12 MILLION THAT PROJECT WILL, SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THAT . STAFF CONTINUES TO WORK HARD. IN ALL FACETS OF EVERY PROJECT .

WHETHER IT'S GRANT MONIES OR WHATEVER. THEY ALWAYS DO THAT.

ANYBODY ELSE? THE HIGH, JENNIFER 9285 NORTHWEST 70TH COURT. WE KIND OF WALK AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THERE'S ABOUT 20 PROPERTIES THAT LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE GRANTED EASEMENTS.

WHAT IS A CITIES PLAN WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE THE EASEMENT , YOU ARE GOING TO DIG EIGHT FEET DOWN. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE EASEMENT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DIG. WHAT IS THE PLAN?

>> YOU CAN REACH OUT TO ME AND WE CAN SIT DOWN AND HAVE A

CONVERSATION ABOUT IT . >> OKAY. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.

>> YEP DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MY NAME IS PETER NAVARRO, 7110 NORTHWEST 87TH AVENUE. I AM GIVING MONIQUE MY

MINUTES. >> WE DON'T CHANGE, THERE IS NO

EXCHANGE OF MINUTES. >> WHY CAN'T YOU TALK?

>> THERE IS NO EXCHANGE OF MINUTES.

>> THAT'S WHY THIS CITY IS THE WAY IT IS.

>> RAY, 6790 NORTHWEST 89TH TERRACE, PARKLAND. I JUST CAME HERE TO HEAR WHAT YOU GUYS HAD TO SAY. AND TAKE A LOOK. A GOOD LOOK. AT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE AGAINST , BECAUSE I DON'T FIND ANY SUBSTANCE IN WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING. THERE IS RULES. THERE IS LAWS. I'M GOING TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED AND THE COMMUNITY IS CONCERNED THAT I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY , AS YOU SAY, KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD, THAT IS NOT BEING KICKED DOWN THE ROAD, IT'S BEEN KICKED ON US AT THIS POINT. I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW, I THINK I HANDED OUT SOME ENVELOPES TO SOME PEOPLE WALKING IN. AND I GOT SOME MORE. RICH, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS AD NAUSEA AND TO THE POINT OF TRYING TO FIND MORE MONEY. SO THAT WE CAN HELP FUND THIS PROJECT I'M GOING TO ENCOURAGE, I'M GOING TO SEVERELY, SERIOUSLY, ENCOURAGE THAT WE HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS . ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT SHE BROUGHT UP RIGHT NOW, AS FAR AS THESE EASEMENTS GO, IN MY OPINION, IS THAT THERE IS NO WAY HOW YOU CAN COMPLETE THIS PROJECT . THERE'S NO WAY THAT THE CONTRACTOR CAN GIVE US THE SCOPE OF WORK OR THE QUALITY OF WORK THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR WITHOUT THESE EASEMENTS. THERE IS SOME CRITICAL HOMEOWNERS THERE THAT ARE SITTING ON AN EASEMENT THAT HASN'T BEEN SIGNED OVER, THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT FROM AN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE TO GET THIS PROJECT COMPLETED. I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES ARE GOING TO BE AT THIS POINT IF WE DON'T MEET CERTAIN DEADLINES IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT. I'M JUST HERE AS ANOTHER LAST-DITCH EFFORT TO TRY TO ENCOURAGE US ALL TO FIND A WAY , YOU KNOW, I'M NOT ACCURATE ON WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE, THAT I DO FEEL THAT THERE IS A WAY HOW WE CAN COME TO TERMS. I ASKED YOU YESTERDAY WHAT I NEEDED TO DO TO GET TO A MEDIATION TABLE WHERE WE CAN NEGOTIATE AND WE CAN SIT DOWN AND TALK. ALL OF US. NOT TRY TO JUST SINGLE US OUT . AND THE

[01:30:04]

>> OKAY. THANK YOU, RAY. >> HERE ARE THE REST OF THE

ENVELOPES. >> MIKE. MIKE. HOPEFULLY, YOU GUYS AREN'T GOING TO THROW STONES AT ME FROM EITHER SIDE HERE, YOU KNOW? THE MAYOR ASKED ME EARLY ON TO BE THE LIAISON FOR THE RANCHES. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE BEEN IN THIS COMMUNITY A LONG TIME. DO I NEED TO INSIDE THE ROBERTS RULES OF ORDER, SO I CAN FINISH WHAT I NEED TO SAY? THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, I HAVE WORKED WITH THE WILLARD AND THE OLDER PEOPLE THAT FEEL UNSECURE ABOUT TRYING TO GET THIS PROJECT DONE. I HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF HOURS FOR FREE. I'M NOT GETTING ANYTHING OUT OF IT, BY TRYING TO HELP EVERYBODY. HELP YOU GUYS, HELP US. YOU KNOW, YOU ARE THE FIRST MAYOR THAT CARED ABOUT THE RANCHES. I UNDERSTAND WE SHOULD NOT HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PAST, BECAUSE YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT. WE CAN ONLY HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR RIGHT NOW.

SO, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO STAY THE LIAISON AND TRY TO WORK THIS THING OUT AND COME UP WITH , YOU KNOW, MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK. AND GOOD BRAINS COME TOGETHER AND YOU CAN COME UP WITH THINGS AND WAYS TO WORK AS A TEAM , A FAMILY, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO FIGHT AND ARGUE. THAT WAS HARD ON ME LAST NIGHT TO SIT THERE AND HAVE TO LISTEN TO THAT. I WANTED TO GO HOME THREE TIMES. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT TO WORK TOGETHER . WE CAN FIGURE OUT RESOLUTIONS. AND I'M HAPPY TO CONTINUE HELP AS LIAISON, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO DO. BUT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. LIKE RAY SAID, THERE IS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. FOR US TO DEAL WITH THE CONTRACTOR WE HIRED. HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING. I HATE TO SEE THINGS GET THROWN INTO THE WHEEL SPOKES AND IT DOESN'T TURN SMOOTHLY. AND, YOU KNOW, I'M A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER, THE DRAIN SPOUT BUSINESS FOR 40 YEARS. THE CITY HAS ASKED ME IN THE PAST TO WORK WITH CERTAIN DRAIN SITUATIONS. I HAVE HAD TO WORK WITH TWO ENGINEERS. ALEX AND THEN WE LOST ALEX AND GOT RICH. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ONE OF THESE DRAIN DEALS, SEE THAT'S WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING, I GOT AN EIGHTH GRADE EDUCATION, THAT'S THE BEST I CAN DO. I JUST GOT LUCKY, I GUESS, MAKING IT OUT HERE. THAT IF WE DON'T DRAIN THE PARK WHERE WE HAVE THE FARMER'S MARKET, YOU'VE GOT TO COME ACROSS THAT BERM. YOU'VE GOT TO COME UNDERNEATH. YOU'VE GOT THAT PERFECTS WELL . AND YOU RUN

THE PIPE . >> YOU AND I WILL TALK .

>> BUT WE NOT GOING TO GET, COME SUMMER? RIGHT . THERE IS NOT ONLY TECHNICAL STUFF, BUT WAYS TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

>> WE WILL SCHEDULE SOMETHING OFF-LINE.

>> AND THEN MAYBE , MAYBE WE CAN NOTIFY EVERYBODY.

>> YEP BECAUSE I DON'T WANT SOMEBODY GETTING MAD AT ME, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY I DID IT AND I SHOULD HAVE DONE IT THAT WAY. I'M JUST TRYING TO STILL PULL EVERYTHING

TOGETHER. >> THANK YOU, MIKE. APPRECIATE

IT . ANYBODY ELSE? >> JILLIAN DUQUETTE, SEVEN 990 NORTHWEST 82ND TERRACE. I JUST WANTED TO ECHO HEATHER. IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN ASSESS HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY DRIVE THROUGH THE RANCHES? BECAUSE, I FEEL LIKE WE ARE OBVIOUSLY I AGREE WITH YOU AS WELL, WE ARE GOING TO GET BENEFIT. I DON'T EVEN DRIVE ON MY STREET ANYMORE. I GO DOWN 87TH AND TROTTERS TO AVOID HOW BUMPY IT IS IN THE BEGINNING. 70 PEOPLE RIDE THROUGH I HAVE SEEN YOU GUYS WITH YOUR KIDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE BIKERS . DURING THE FARMER'S MARKET EVERYONE DRIVE THROUGH. I DON'T KNOW, IS THERE A WAY TO ASSESS HOW MANY EXTRA PEOPLE COME INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD?

>> THE ONLY THING I WILL SAY ON THAT TOPIC IS WE HAVE NOT FINISHED OUR DISCUSSIONS FROM A BUDGETARY STANDPOINT WHAT THAT

[01:35:01]

COMMENTS INTO CONSIDERATION. >> THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING. WHEN WE HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS. WHEN WE GET TO OUR FINAL POINT WE WILL BE VERY CLEAR WHY, HOW WE GOT TO THAT POINT, WHY WE GOT TO THAT POINT AND, AGAIN, IT HELPS US TO HAVE PEOPLE COME AND GIVE THEIR OPINION AND SPEAK.

>> THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO ASK. >> I HAVE BEEN A COMMISSIONER FOR SIX YEARS. OR A MAYOR FOR TWO YEARS, OR COMMISSION FOR TWO YEARS AND THE MAYOR FOR FOUR. WE ARE , AND EVERYONE I HAVE WORKED WITH AND CONTINUE TO WORK WITH, ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE, ALWAYS WILLING TO SPEAK, ALWAYS WILLING TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT. >> WE WILL ALWAYS BE THAT WAY.

SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT PEOPLE WON'T LIKE. AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE IN ONE OF THOSE POSITIONS.

>> I WAS JUST ASKING IF THAT IS UNDER CONSIDERATION. WE CALL OURSELVES THE AQUARIUM, BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST DRIVE BY AND LOOK AT

US. >> 100% WE LOOK AT EVERYTHING.

ANYWHERE -- ANYONE ELSE BEFORE WE MOVE ON? OKAY. WITH THAT WE

ARE GOOD. YES? >> SOMEBODY LEFT THEIR PHONE.

>> SOMEBODY LEFT THEIR PHONE. ONE OF THE SPEAKERS.

>> THANK YOU. >> HELLO. MY NAME IS DEBORAH GARCIA, 7120 NORTHWEST 87TH AVENUE. I JUST HIM TRYING TO SEE HOW THEY JUSTIFY OR WHY SOMEBODY OWNING 1.5 ACRES VERSUS 2.5 ACRES , WHY WE ARE BEING ASSESSED MORE? THAT IS MY

QUESTION. >> IF YOU -- KELLY WILL SPEAK WITH YOU AFTER. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. DAVE DECKER, I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO EVERYBODY HERE . THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE RANCHES THAT HAVE BUSINESSES AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE CONSTANTLY IN AND OUT . THE LADY JUST SAID, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S 2.5 ACRES OR ONE ACRE, THERE'S ONE FAMILY THAT LIVES THERE. SHE'S RIGHT ABOUT THERE'S BUSINESSES THAT LIVE THERE. AND THEY'VE GOT 20, 30, 40 PEOPLE IN A DAY . THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN DO THIS LIKE A RESIDENCE. IN THAT WAY. SO, THESE ARE PUBLIC ROADS. THERE IS PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER. I THINK WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS WRONG. I

THINK IT'S YOUR BURDEN. >> THANK YOU.

>> YEP . >> ANYONE ELSE? ANYONE ELSE? BEING THAT THERE IS NONE, WITH THE AGENDA, IF IT'S OKAY WITH EVERYBODY, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE -- NO. IT IS THAT WAY, NANCY.

YOU MUST BE LOOKING AT ANOTHER AGENDA. LET'S GO TO B.

>> 9B, RESOLUTION 2025 -- 016. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS AND THE CITY OF PARKLAND FOR THE DELIVERY OF COMMUNITY RISK REDUCTION, EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES BY THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS. THE RESOLUTION THE CITY COMMISSION, THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA, PROVING THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS AND THE CITY OF PARKLAND PROVIDING FOR THE DELIVERY OF COMMUNITY RISK REDUCTION, EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES , AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, VICE-MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS . FOR THE RECORD, JACKIE WEHMEYER, SENIOR DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY AND INNER GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS. AND INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS AND THE CITY OF PARKLAND. FOR THE DELIVERY OF COMMUNITY RISK REDUCTION, EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES. IN ESSENCE, IT'S OUR FIRE RESCUE SERVICES. THE CURRENT AGREEMENT THAT WE ARE UNDER IS EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST, 2020 AND IT'S END DATE IS SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2025.

HOWEVER, BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE IN STAFFING LEVELS AND THE ADDITION OF A NEW FIRE ENGINE, WE FELT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO START THIS CONTRACT OR THIS NEW AGREEMENT RETROACTIVE TO OCTOBER 1ST, 2024. IN NEGOTIATING WITH THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS THERE REALLY WEREN'T MANY SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO OUR AGREEMENT. THE SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES THAT THERE ARE INCLUDE SOME THINGS , LIKE $1000 FOR SMALL KITCHEN ITEMS INSTEAD OF TRADING BACK AND FORTH SOME RECEIPTS. THE PAYMENT OF A BROADBAND A CIRCUIT FOR WHICH CORAL SPRINGS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR, BUT IN THE PAST THE CITY OF PARKLAND HAS PAID THAT BILL. WE ARE GOING TO BE JUST PLACING THAT AMOUNT IN THE

[01:40:02]

1ST, 2024. >> GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OBVIOUSLY, ECHOING YOUR COMMENTS IS WELL NEEDED. THE RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH CORAL SPRINGS IS SECOND TO NONE. WE VALUE THAT RELATIONSHIP . THE CORAL SPRINGS PARKLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT IS SECOND TO NONE. WE WOULDN'T CONSIDER EVER HAVING ANYONE ELSE PROTECT OUR RESIDENTS OTHER THAN THE CORAL SPRINGS PARKLAND FIRE

DEPARTMENT. >>

>> AND TO YOUR POINT, AND I KNOW VICE-MAYOR ISROW TALKED ABOUT IT EARLIER , AND I THINK YOU COME IN ALL THE TIME AND IT'S ACTION. IT'S NOT JUST TALK. JORDAN PROVED THAT TO ALL THE

RESIDENTS. >> I TESTED THE THEORY , THEY

PASS. >> WE COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER PARTNER. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? IS. I HAVE ALREADY SAID IT, BUT I WANT TO SAY IT AGAIN. I THINK MOST PEOPLE UNDERESTIMATE KIND OF WHAT OUR ROLE AS CITY COMMISSION IS. WE SIT HERE AND WE TALK ABOUT ROSE, THINGS, BUT PARAMOUNT, 1ST AND FOREMOST OF ANY ROLE OF AN ELECTED OFFICIAL GOVERNING ANY CONSTITUENTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE THERE HEALTH AND SAFETY. FOR US TO BE ABLE TO HAVE YOU GUYS AS OUR TEAM, THE PEOPLE HAVING OUR BACKS OR FAMILIES BACKS, WE ARE SO FORTUNATE. I THINK AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO DEMONSTRATE TO US THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE OUR BACKS, WE WILL ALWAYS DO WHAT WE NEED TO SUPPORT YOU. FOR THAT REASON I WOULD MOTION TO MOVE TO , MOTION TO APPROVE. THAT I WILL SECOND IT. I WILL MAKE A COMMENT AS WELL. WE HAVE THE LUXURY IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND NOW BETWEEN OUR RELATIONSHIP , WHICH HAS ONLY GOTTEN BETTER AND STRONGER WITH BSO AND THE AMAZING RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS. WHAT I REFER TO SOMETIMES AS A PARKLAND-CORAL SPRINGS FIRE DEPARTMENT. THAT I GET THE FLIP. THAT WE HAVE THE BENEFIT OF HAVING , AS THE VICE-MAYOR SAID, THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING AND HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY IN AMAZING HANDS . SO THAT WE CAN FOCUS ON OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE NEED TO GET DONE IN OUR CITY TO JUST MAKE PARKLAND CONTINUE TO BE A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE . I CAN TELL YOU THAT JUST MEETING ANY ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CORAL SPRINGS PARKLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEIR PASSION FOR HELPING PEOPLE , NOT JUST BECAUSE IT'S THEIR JOB, THEIR PASSION FOR HELPING PEOPLE, HELPING SAVE LIVES, IS JUST SECOND TO NONE .

I THINK YOU EACH AND EVERY DAY FOR ALL OF YOUR SERVICE. I THINK CATHERINE AND THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS FOR THE AMAZING PARTNERSHIP. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE CAN DO WELL BY DOING GOOD . THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE. THANK YOU.

>> ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS ? SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY, I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORKS. COMING OUT THERE FOR CALLS AND SERVICE REGULARLY AND ROUTINELY . I HAVE NOTHING ABOUT GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE PRODUCT THAT YOU PROVIDE.

>> ANYBODY WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? ANYBODY? I SEE

SOMEONE. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. GOOD

EVENING., AND .,. >> IT WAS AFTERNOON.

[01:45:03]

>> IT WAS AFTERNOON WHEN I GOT HERE. IT'S GOOD EVENING NOW.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. MY NAME IS CATHERINE GIBBONS, THE CITY MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS. I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL THAT YOU BROUGHT BACK PARKLAND DAYS. I REMEMBER MARCHING IN IT MYSELF BACK IN THE 90S.

BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS. I WAS A PICCOLO PLAYER AS WELL AS A DRUM MAJOR. I WENT BACK AND FORTH ON HOMEWORK ROAD. I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL. ANYWAY. THAT SPEAKS TO THE FACT THAT OUR DEPARTMENT AND OUR CITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN HAVING CONTINUAL STRENGTHENING RELATIONSHIPS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP. I TRULY APPRECIATE THAT OF YOUR CITY MANAGER NANCY MORANDO. IT HAS BEEN A VERY EASY RELATIONSHIP TO BE ABLE TO TALK THROUGH THE NUMBERS, BUT IT TRULY IS THE HEART OF OUR MEMBERS AND THE HEARTS OF YOUR COMMISSION, YOUR PAST COMMISSIONS, OUR PAST LEADERSHIP, TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO THE RESIDENTS OF CORAL SPRINGS AND, WHILE WE ARE HERE, PARKLAND. THANK YOU VERY MUCH . YOUR SUCCESS IS ESSENTIAL FOR US AS WE HAVE DONE THIS ALL TOGETHER. I APPRECIATE YOUR CONFIDENCE IN US DELIVERING THE MOST PREMIUM PREMIER HIGH-QUALITY SERVICE THAT WE CAN PROVIDE . THAT BEING SAID, I'M GOING TO HEADED OVER TO CHIEF.

>> CATHERINE, THANK YOU FOR COMING IT MEANS A LOT FOR YOU TO COME HERE AND SPEAK TO US. THANK YOU. THAT REALLY SHOWS A LOT.

THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, COMMISSION. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU GUYS HAVING US HERE. YOU KNOW, SOMETHING YOU SAID HAS KIND OF GOT MY MIND ROLLING. THESE ARE YOUR EMPLOYEES. THESE ARE YOUR MEMBERS. THESE ARE YOUR COMMUNITY. THESE ARE YOUR FIRST RESPONDERS. EVERYONE OF THEM HERE THAT YOU SEE, THIS IS THEIR COMMUNITY. THEY ARE ASSIGNED HERE . THEY HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN PROVIDING THE VERY BEST SERVICE THEY CAN. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THAT. THEY CHOOSE TO BE HERE. THEY WANT TO BE IN PARKLAND THEY WANT TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY. THEY KNOW THIS COMMUNITY. AND OTHER MATTERS OF THE COMMUNITY. WE APPRECIATE ALL THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE GIVEN TO NOT ONLY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, BUT TO ALL OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE IN PROVIDING THE SERVICE TO YOUR ENOUGH. THIS RELATIONSHIP PREDATES EVEN ME AND I'M REALLY OLD. THIS GOES WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF MY SERVICE IN THE FIRE SERVICE. WE ARE VERY THANKFUL FOR THAT. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO CONTINUE THE SERVICE TO PARKLAND. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. YOU DON'T WANT TO ADD TO THAT? COME ON. I HAVE NEVER SEEN YOU NOT SPEAK AND GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY.

>> IS THAT GOOD OR BAD? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE THAT.

>> HE RESEMBLES THAT REMARK. >> EASY. YOU GUYS KNOW EVERY TIME I'M HERE I THANK YOU FOR THE RELATIONSHIP . THIS RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES IS MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL. IT IS A GREAT ORGANIZATION. WE HAVE A WONDERFUL DEPARTMENT. THESE MEN AND WOMEN RISK THEIR LIVES EVERY DAY FOR YOUR RESIDENCE AND ANYBODY ELSE WHO COMES TO THE CITY OF PARKLAND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THAT. WE APPRECIATE IT GAS CATHERINE SAID, WE ARE HONORED THAT YOU TRUST US TO DO THAT .

BECAUSE WE TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY. WE APPRECIATE IT,

THANK YOU. >> YOU GUYS HAVE EARNED THAT TRUST . WITH THAT, ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK? THIS IS ON THE FIRE CONTRACTS. NOT THE RANCHES ROAD.

>> THIS IS ON THE FIRE. GOOD EVENING. I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO SPEAK TONIGHT, BUT I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT THAT MY DAD WAS A FIRE CHIEF OF METRO DATA BACK IN THE DAY. I JUST WANTED TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK EVERYBODY WHAT YOU DO FOR OUR CITY. MY MOM HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK AND YOU GUYS SHOWED UP AT MY HOUSE OUT IN THE RANCHES. AND REALLY TOOK CHARGE AND VERY PROFESSIONAL. ACTUALLY, ONE OF YOUR EMTS DISCOVERED THAT MY MOM HAD A HEART ISSUE THAT THEY DIDN'T FIND THE MONTH PRIOR FROM HER CARDIOLOGIST APPOINTMENT. AND THEY DIDN'T FIND IT IN THE HOSPITAL HERE.

WHEN I BROUGHT HER UP TO OCALA WHERE SHE LIVES, I SPOKE ABOUT WITH THE MT FOUND THAT MY MOM HAD OPEN-HEART SURGERY. I THINK -- THINK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR PROFESSIONALISM AND

YOUR KNOWLEDGE. >> THAT'S AN AMAZING STORY.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT STORY. THANK YOU. THAT'S WELL-DESERVED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE? SEEING THAT THERE IS NOBODY ELSE, WE'VE GOT A MOTION BY VICE-MAYOR ISROW AND IS AGO BY COMMISSIONER BRIER. ROLL CALL.

>>

UNANIMOUSLY. >> ITEM 9C 2025 -- 002, REGULATION OF ELECTRIC BICYCLES, MOTORIZED ABILITY DEVICES AND MOTORIZED SCOOTERS IN CITY PARKS FIRST READING. AND ORGANS OF THE CITY COMMISSION THE CITY PARKLAND, FLORIDA, ADMITTING THE WHAT IS BY -- ARTICLE SEVEN PARK REGULATIONS. SECTION 11 -- 69 DEFINITIONS TO ADD DEFINITION TO ELECTRIC BICYCLE, MOTORIZED

[01:50:08]

>> YES THAT WOULD BE SPLENDID BECAUSE GO YOU MAY RECALL THAT FEBRUARY 5TH, 2025 CITY COMMISSION MEETING YOU ALL HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT ELECTRIC BICYCLES AND SIMILAR DEVICES AND YOU DIRECT TO MY OFFICE ALONG WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY STAFF TO GO AHEAD AND PREPARE AN ORDINANCE REGULATING ELECTRIC BICYCLES AND SIMILAR DEVICES IN CITY PARKS. THAT ORDINANCE IS BEFORE YOU ON FIRST READING TONIGHT. ESSENTIALLY, ADDS THOSE THREE DEFINITIONS THAT I MENTIONED, ELECTRIC BICYCLE DEFINITION CONSISTENT WITH THE STATE LAW DEFINITION, AND MOTORIZED SCOOTER DEFINITION CONSISTENT WITH THE STATE LAW DEFINITION AND THEN THE DEFINITION FOR MOTORIZED MOBILITY DEVICE, WHICH CAPTURES SOME OF THESE OTHER SIMILAR DEVICES THAT DON'T FIT SQUARELY IN THE OTHER TWO DEFINITIONS.

FOR EXAMPLE, A HOVER BOARD OR ONE OF THESE ELECTRIC MOTORIZED SKATEBOARDS THAT YOU MAY HAVE SEEN. ESSENTIALLY, WHAT IT DOES IS IT PROHIBITS THE USE OF SUCH DEVICES IN PARKS, EXCEPT ON THOSE DESIGNATED PARK ROADWAYS AND IN THE PARK PARKING LOT.

WITH RESPECT TO THE PARKING LOT, IT'S FOR PARKING PURPOSES ONLY.

ADDITIONALLY, IT PROVIDES THAT WHEN OPERATING SUCH DEVICES ON THE PARK ROADS NO PERSON SHALL DRIVE OR OPERATE SUCH DEVICES AT A SPEED EXCEEDING 10 MILES AN HOUR. THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH YOUR EXISTING ORDINANCE WITH RESPECT TO VEHICLES THAT OPERATE ON THAT SAME ROADWAY. FINALLY, THOSE OPERATORS IN SUCH DEVICES SHALL OBEY ALL SAFETY RULES AND REGULATIONS IS CONSTITUTED BY STATE -- STATELINE RESPECT THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OTHER PARK USERS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A PENALTY PROVIDED FOR IN THE ORDINANCE OF $200 PER VIOLATION FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. AND THE ORDINANCE DOES PROVIDE FOR THE ABILITY TO ENFORCE AND ISSUE CITATIONS AS WELL AS ANY OTHER MEANS AVAILABLE AND PERMITTED BY LAW . FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE IS A MORE EGREGIOUS VIOLATION ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY CAN CONSIDER ISSUING LIKE A NOTICE TO APPEARANCE, NOTICE TO APPEAR, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SOME MORE TOOLS IN THE TOOLBOX. I KNOW WE HAVE THE CAPTAIN HERE AS WELL THAT MAY WANT TO SPEAK ON IT. I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY

HAVE. >> GREAT. I GUESS THE BIGGEST THING FOR ME IS, OBVIOUSLY, WE ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE KIDS ON THE E-BIKES NOT RESPECTING , UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S NOT RESPECTING ANYONE ELSE IN THE PARKS. THEY ARE CAUSING HAVOC . I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO, IT'S NOT, BOOM, WE PUT THE ORDINANCE IN AND, HOPEFULLY, THE RESIDENTS DON'T THINK THAT IT JUST WILL STOP . WE ARE STILL GOING TO NEED THE RESIDENTS TO CONTINUE TO HELP US HELP THEM BY TAKING PICTURES , SENDING VIDEOS. THEY CAN SEND IT TO ANYONE OF US, ANYONE OF OUR EMAILS. TEXT MESSAGES. THOSE VIDEOS AND PICTURES TO HELP, BECAUSE BSO DOES FOLLOW UP ON THOSE. I'M PROOF OF THAT, BECAUSE SOMEBODY WAS AT THE PARK ONE DAY COMPLAINING ABOUT SOME BIKERS. I HAPPENED TO DECIDE TO LEAVE MY HOUSE AND WENT THERE. I TOOK PICTURES. SENT THEM TO THE CAPTAIN. AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE WERE ATTRACTED DOWN. I DO APPRECIATE THAT. WHEN I TELL RESIDENTS WHEN THEY ARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SEND US PICTURES. THAT DOES HELP. THAT IS THE BIGGEST MESSAGE . WHILE THIS MAY HELP CURB IT, TO SOME DEGREE, WE STILL NEED TO BE VIGILANT IN THAT SAME FORM OR FASHION. I WOULD ASSUME WE WOULD PUT UP SIGNS AROUND THE PARK THAT'S A WHATEVER WE ARE APPROVING TONIGHT , SHOULD WE APPROVE IT.

I THINK HAVING THE DOLLAR AMOUNT ON THEIR WOULD BE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU PROBABLY HAVE TO HAVE THAT BYLAW OR WHATEVER.

I THINK PUTTING UP SOME SIGNS WILL DO GOOD FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

SO AT LEAST THEY KNOW WE ARE LISTENING, WE ARE WORKING TO TRY TO FIX THE SITUATION. AGAIN, WE STILL NEED THEIR HELP. ANYBODY

HAVE ANY QUESTIONS -- COMMENTS? >> GO AHEAD.

>> I THINK I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH WHAT YOU SAID. PASSING A RESOLUTION TONIGHT IN AND OF ITSELF IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE NEED PARENTS TO STEP UP. I DO THINK WE NEED AN INCREASED POLICE AND RANGER PRESENCE, ESPECIALLY ON THE BIG NIGHTS AT THE PARK. I WAS AT PINE TRAILS FRIDAY NIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND PLAYOFF GAMES FOR FLAG FOOTBALL. AND THE AMOUNT OF , EVEN BEFORE THAT ,

[01:55:06]

THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN FOR MY ONLY CONCERN IS PENALIZING THE FOLKS WHO ARE NOT CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT OUR BSO DEPUTIES WILL USE THEIR JUDGMENT , YOU KNOW, IF THEY ARE ON THE OUTSIDE. AND IF THEY ARE ADDED AWAY. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT THOSE WON'T NECESSARILY BE THE ONES THEY ARE GOING AFTER, SO TO SPEAK. I AGREE WITH YOU 100% I DESPISE THE FACT THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE THIS ORDINANCE. THIS IS, WE ARE MAKING IT AN ORDINANCE THAT AFFECTS EVERYONE WHO HAS AN E-BIKE , BECAUSE A FEW KNUCKLEHEADS CAN'T ACT LIKE REGULAR PEOPLE. WHAT OUR HANDS ARE GETTING TIED. YOU KNOW? BECAUSE WE ARE JUST PUT IN A BAD SPOT, BECAUSE TIME AFTER TIME WE ASK PARENTS, WE ASK KIDS . I MEAN, I KNOW BSO, YOU TALK TO KIDS ALL THE TIME YOU ARE ALWAYS ENGAGING IN TALKING TO THE KIDS. EVEN WHEN YOU TRACK THEM DOWN OR WHATEVER, YOU GO TO THEIR HOUSE AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR PARENTS. WE ARE MAKING ALL THE EFFORTS WE CAN. AND NOW WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS NEXT STEP, BECAUSE THOSE EFFORTS WE HAVE BEEN MAKING HAVE BECOME FRUITLESS. AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE. THIS IS THE LAST, YOU KNOW, I GOT TEASED BEFORE BECAUSE MAJOR HAS GOT SEVEN KIDS AND I ONLY HAVE FIVE, BUT SOMEONE WITH , YOU KNOW, HAVING FIVE CHILDREN, I WANT MY KIDS TO BE IN A PARK. I WANT THEM RIDING BIKES AND I WANT THEM TO NOT WORRY ABOUT STUFF. THAT'S WHAT PARKLAND IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, A FEW BAD APPLES

RUINING IT FOR EVERYBODY. >> WE JUST HAVE TO COMMIT TO FLUIDITY. THIS IS GOING TO BE A FLUID SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE THE FIGURE OUT WHERE THE LAWN -- LINE NEEDS TO BE DRAWN. IF WE HAVE TO READ/WRITE OR ADDRESS A DIFFERENT ISSUE AT SOME POINT, LET'S JUST COMMIT TO DOING THAT AND SEE IF THIS HELPS. I DO THINK THAT I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DOING AN AMAZING JOB, CAPTAIN, TRYING TO ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY, EDUCATE PARENTS, EDUCATE KIDS. I KNOW YOU ARE AS INVESTED IN THIS COMMUNITY AS WE ARE. BUT I DO THINK HAVING A BIGGER PRESENCE, IF NOTHING OTHER THAN A DETERRENT AT THE PARTS ON THOSE BUSY NIGHTS MAY HELP. I CAN TELL YOU, AND I'M SURE ANYBODY ON THIS DAIS IS IN THE SAME BOAT, YOU GO TO WHETHER HARM OUR OR PINE TRAILS ON A BUSY EVENING AND ALL WE GET BROUGHT UP WITH, ASIDE FROM REPLACING THE BACKBOARDS, IS HOW ARE WE GOING TO ADDRESS, WHY DON'T WE HAVE MORE LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT HERE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS? I GET THAT THIS IS NOT THE HIGHEST SAFETY PRIORITY, BUT WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT SOME BALANCE. IS WHAT I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE ARE BEING PROACTIVE. THERE HASN'T BEEN A

LIFE-CHANGING INCIDENT. >> YET BECAUSE GO WE ARE ABLE TO ACT ON THIS PRIOR, BECAUSE I'VE SEEN TOO MANY TIMES WHERE SOMETHING AWFUL HAPPENS AND THEN A COMMUNITY, A CITY, A GOVERNING BODY REACTS TO IT GO SOMETIMES OVER REACT TO IT IN SOME WAYS.

IN THIS CASE I THINK WE ARE BEING A PROPERLY PROACTIVE. I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY KID GET HURT WORDLE, FRANKLY.

>> FOR SURE. I COULDN'T AGREE MORE. THAT HAS BEEN THE MODEL OF OUR COMMISSION . WE HAVEN'T SAT BACK AND WAITED FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN. WE ADDRESS THINGS HEAD ON. THIS IS JUST, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A MINOR THING, BUT THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF US JUST BEING, YOU KNOW, ALWAYS TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

>> I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THIS IS KIND OF LIKE THE LESSER OF THE ALTERNATIVES HERE. MEANING, HOPEFULLY, PEOPLE DO ABIDE BY THIS . AND TO YOUR POINT, PARENTS AND EVERYONE HELPS ENFORCE IT. IF NOT, I THINK IT HAS TO GET ESCALATED. THE LAST THING I THINK ANY OF US WANT TO DO IS TRY TO BAN E-BIKES. IT'S KIND OF LIKE, HELP US HELP THE COMMUNITY . THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE ONE, LIKE YOU SAID, WHO CAN SPOIL THE BUNCH. I HOPE THAT THIS IS KIND OF THE

[02:00:04]

>> INSIDE THE PARK . WE ARE SITTING HERE TALKING ABOUT THE SIDEWALKS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, I SEE KIDS JUST ON THE FIELD EVEN AT PARKLAND DAY, WHICH WAS KIND OF FASCINATING, WE WERE SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE STAGE AND I SAW LIKE THREE KIDS COME UP WITH THEIR E-BIKES AND THEY WERE READY TO START GOING TO THE LAWN. FORTUNATELY, SOMEONE FROM STAFF ACTUALLY WALKED UP AND SAID, HOLD ON, GET OFF THE BIKE IT'S KIND OF CRAZY THEY DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE EVEN WHEN I'M AT THE PARK FOR KIDS IN SPORTS OR WHATEVER, YOU'LL HEAR PARENTS SAY, OH, IT OFF THE SIDEWALK. OKAY. THEY JUST GO IN THE FIELD AND START ZOOMING AROUND. MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR THAT, STICK TO THE RUNWAY IN THE PARKING LOT . THAT'S IT.

>> ONE LAST THING, I THINK THE COMMENTS ARE ALL VERY RIGHT, DEFINITELY RIGHT ON. WE NEED THE ASSISTANCE OF THE PARENTS . WE REALLY DO. WE NEED THE ASSISTANCE, THE SUPPORT. THE NIGHT OF PARKLAND DAY , GREAT BAND, RIGHT? I SAW SOMETHING OUPLE OF KIDS HAVE THOSE Select to skip to this part of the video">THAT WAS REALLY REFRESHING. A OUPLE OF KIDS HAVE THOSE ELECTRIC BIKE AND MOM LOOKED AT THEM, THEY WERE ON THEM, THEY WERE READY TO GO INTO WHAT WAS THE CROWD OF, YOU KNOW, THE GREAT ACTIVITIES. THE LAWN IN FRONT OF THE AMPHITHEATER. SHE LOOKED AT THEM AND SHE SAID, GET OFF YOUR BIKES. WALK THEM. WALK THEM AROUND. I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO SEE. THAT'S WHAT IT SHOULD BE.

>> THAT'S A GOOD PARENT. >> JUST AN EXAMPLE. I AM SPEAKING AT THE A TO A PRESIDENTS COUNCIL TOMORROW, SO I'M EXCITED TO BE ABLE, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOU BIKES. BECAUSE WE NEED EVERYBODY'S HELP . SO, IT'S INCUMBENT UPON THEM AS WELL TO HELP US SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. AT LEAST NOW I CAN GO TO THEM AND SAY, LOOK, HERE'S ANOTHER STEP THAT WE HAVE TAKEN WHAT STEPS ARE YOU FOLKS GOING TO TAKE? WE WILL SEE WHERE THAT GOES. I WILL REPORT BACK ON THAT AFTER THAT. THE MOTION APPROVED?

>> SECOND . >> ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC?

>> COMMISSIONER CUTLER . >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. IS THE YOU BEEN WAITING ALL NIGHT TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC.

>> I DID. PARKLAND COMMISSIONER X. YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER REGISTRATION. FOR ENFORCEMENT PURPOSES AND FOR THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY THESE KIDS IF THEY TAKE OFF ACROSS THE FIELD YOU ARE NOT GOING HAVE A COP RUNNING ACROSS THE FIELD TO GO CHASE THEM IF THEY GOT A REGISTRATION NUMBER ON THE BIKE, ON THE FRAME OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IT WILL HELP YOU IDENTIFY THEM. AT THE SAME TIME, YOU CAN USE THAT AS A WAY OF EDUCATING THEIR PARENTS WHEN THEY COME INTO REGISTER WITH THE FACT THAT THERE'S A NEW ORDINANCE AND THERE'S THE ABILITY FOR THE POLICE TO ENFORCE IT. THAT'S SOMETHING YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER.

>> THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. THAT IS EARLY WE CAN TALK ABOUT IN STRATEGIC PLANNING. NANCY, IF YOU CAN ADD THAT TO THE LIST.

THAT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA. ANYBODY ELSE? SEEING THAT THERE IS NOT A WE HAD A MOTION BY VICE-MAYOR ISROW, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN. ROLL CALL.

>>

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

HIMSELF. >> HE HAD ANOTHER MEETING,

MAYOR. >> CAPTAIN MCCARTE, BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE. GOOD EVENING. I APOLOGIZE. JUST PIGGYBACKING OFF OF THAT LAST AGENDA ITEM. WE CONTINUE TO MAKE EFFORTS, IN TERMS OF THE BIKES IN OUR COMMUNITY AND WORKING TOWARDS SAFETY. WE JUST FINISHED OUR SECOND ANNUAL WHAT WE CALL PETALS POWER AND SAFETY TRAINING WE DO THAT AT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS AT SOMERSET AND WAS GLADES. THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR -- YEAR WE DID THIS. THEY WORK WITH THE SCHOOLS AND CONSISTS OF A POWERPOINT AND VIDEO, EDUCATIONAL VIDEO. WE PLAY IT FOR ALL THE STUDENTS. IT'S VERY WELL RECEIVED. THE ADMINISTRATION APPRECIATES IT OBVIOUS THE, IT ADDRESSES THE SAFETY AND ANOTHER WAY TO INTERACT WITH THE STUDENTS. AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT IS LEGAL AND WHAT IS SAFE. WE JUST FINISHED THAT. WE WILL CONTINUE THAT EVERY YEAR. I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT PROGRAM. NEXT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE THREATS THAT

[02:05:03]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT. I THINK YOU BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT . I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO REMIND OUR RESIDENTS, THAT WHEN THINGS DO HAPPEN WE MAY NOT HAVE ALL OR ANY ANSWERS FOR A LITTLE BIT. YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR INVESTIGATION AND FIND OUT . YOU CAN'T START BLURTING OUT THIS, THAT, WHATEVER, UNTIL YOU HAVE VIABLE INFORMATION. I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES THE RESIDENTS WILL GET ON SOCIAL MEDIA , IT'S A GUN, IT'S THIS, IT'S THAT. THAT CAUSES A LITTLE BIT MORE CHAOS.

LOOK, I HAVE KIDS IN THE SCHOOL AS WELL. I GET NERVOUS ALSO.

THAT SOMETIMES YOU'VE JUST GOT TO SIT BACK AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND LET THINGS PLAY OUT A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN WE CAN REACT ONCE WE ARE ABLE TO GET SOME INFORMATION.

>> TO THAT END, AND I TOTALLY AGREE, SAFETY IS THE FIRST PRIORITY I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A BETTER WAY OR IF IT WOULD ALLEVIATE PEOPLE'S FEAR AND ANXIETY OF NOTIFYING WHEN THE SCHOOL GOES ON AND LOCK DOWN. I KNOW THE PARENTS GET, AND MICHELLE AND OTHER PRINCIPALS ARE VERY GOOD AT IT, PARENTS GET NOTICE. I KNOW THERE'S OFTEN TIMES LIVE TIME FOR US GETTING NOTIFIED. WE HEARD FROM STUDENTS OR PARENTS BEFORE WE GET ANY OFFICIAL NOTICE. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A BETTER WAY? TO IMPROVE THAT COMMUNICATION.

>> THE STUDENTS ARE ALWAYS GOING TO --

>> THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW FIRST, FOR SURE.

>> THIS LAST ONE, YOU TEXTED US AND I IMMEDIATELY TEXTED MY KIDS. THEY KNEW WHAT WAS UP. LET MS. CALVERT, WHO IS VERY GOOD AT SENDING OUT INFORMATION, VERY QUICKLY. SHE IS THE BEST ONE AT GETTING THE COMMUNICATION OUT RIGHT AWAY. SORRY, EVERYBODY ELSE, IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY THAT COMMENT.

>> SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH A LOT OF THEM . SHE HAS A LOT OF

EXPERIENCE. >> SHE IS REALLY GOOD. THE KIDS ARE ALWAYS GOING TO HEAR IT 1ST AND THEN THE TEXT THEIR PARENTS.

IMMEDIATELY THEY WILL POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

>> LIKE I SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF IT ALLEVIATES FEAR AND ANXIETY TO KNOW IT'S AN OFFICIAL THREAT AND I JUST RUMOR OR NOT.

>> THAT'S A PROBLEM, YOU DON'T KNOW. NOWADAYS YOU GET SO MANY

OF THESE BOGUS CALLS. >> I'M NOT SAYING, YEAH.

WHETHER THE THREAT ITSELF IS SERIOUS, WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S

AN ACTUAL LOCKDOWN. >> I WAS AS TALKING TO SOMEONE THE OTHER DAY, YOU'VE GOT TO PUT HELICOPTERS IT COULD BE A TOTAL BOGUS CALL. THAT IF YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING AND SOMETHING HAPPENS, GOD FORBID, AND WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE NOTHING , PEOPLE ARE LIKE, YOU OVER REACTED. YOU ARE

IF YOU DO, IF YOU DON'T 100%. >> RIGHT . THE SECURE AND HOLDS IS REALLY A TOOL FOR US TO KEEP EVERYBODY IN PLACE, RIGHT? IT'S IT WILL FORT LAWN PLATE -- LAW ENFORCEMENT TO BE ABLE TO COME IN, ARE REAL-TIME CRIME CENTER GOES ON ALL THE CAMERAS IMMEDIATELY. AGAIN, A TOOL FOR US TO CONTROL EGRESS INTO THE SCHOOL AND MAKE SURE THERE'S NO ONE IN THE HALLWAYS. THAT'S WHY WE GO TO THAT SO QUICKLY AND WE RECOMMEND THAT THE SCHOOL GOES TO THAT SO QUICKLY . IT REALLY HELPS US DETERMINE WHAT IS GOING

ON. >> ONE OF THE THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND, AND THIS IS A QUESTION AS WELL, YOU HAD SAID EARLIER, MSD AND WEST GLADES ARE PRETTY MUCH ON THE SAME , REGARDLESS. IF IT'S THAT MSD, WEST GLADES IS GOING ON LOCKDOWN. IF IT'S THAT WEST GLADES MSD IS GOING ON LOCKDOWN. NOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 3500 KIDS, PLUS ANOTHER 2000 OR WHATEVER IS THAT WEST GLADES. IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALARMING THAT MANY PEOPLE.

5000 KIDS , YOU KNOW, YOU'RE TALKING 25% OF OUR CITY, IF NOT

MORE THAN THAT. >> THE LEVEL OF DISRUPTION IN THE POOLING OF RESOURCES AWAY FROM OTHER POTENTIAL CALLS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. IS THERE ANYWAY THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME KIND OF PUBLIC CAMPAIGN JUST TO PUBLICIZE EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF PENALTIES YOU CAN EXPECT IF YOU SHOULD MAKE SOME KIND OF FALSE

[02:10:01]

IS REALLY TROUBLE. >> THE BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE HAS CAMPAIGNS WE HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS, POSTERS, THINGS WE PUT OUT INTO THE SCHOOLS . AND THE SCHOOL BOARD ALSO. IF YOU GO ON THEIR WEBSITE THEY HAVE CAMPAIGNS. IT'S SOMETHING RSO TALK ABOUT ALL THE TIMES, IN TERMS OF THINKING BEFORE YOU POST . WE ARE CONSTANTLY OUT THERE TALKING TO THE KIDS ABOUT THAT. YES. CERTAINLY, WE CAN BE UP THAT ON OUR FACEBOOK AND I CAN TALK TO THE CITIES TEAM AS WELL TO MAYBE REINFORCE THAT ON

OUR SOCIAL MEDIA. ALSO. >> THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE WHERE PARENTS NEED TO STEP UP AND TALK TO THEIR KIDS EVEN IF YOU MAKE A JOKE IN CERTAIN CONTEXTS THIS IS NOT A JOKING MATTER. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TABOO AREAS YOU DON'T JOKE ABOUT, YOU DON'T POST SOMETHING THAT EVEN IS SORT OF HALF KIDDING ONLINE OR ANYTHING.

LOOK AT THE FEAR AND TERROR IT CAUSES EVERYBODY. AND THE RAMIFICATIONS FOR YOUR CHILD ARE PRETTY EGREGIOUS.
