OPPOSED? SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON NONAGENDA ITEMS? SEEING AS WE HAVE NONE, WE WILL START WITH THE COMMISSION. WE WILL START WITH COMMISSIONER 
          MURPHY SALOMONE. >> MAYOR, I THINK YOU STARTED WITH ME LAST TIME ALTHOUGH I WAS VIRTUAL, AND AGAIN APOLOGIES THAT I WAS VIRTUAL LAST TIME BUT ADDRESSING SOME FAMILY MATTERS BUT IT IS GREAT TOSEE EVERYONE. AND YEAH, IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING FEW WEEKS. I WOULD SAY ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO TOUCH ON IS THE AMAZING BOARDS WE HAVE, SO PLANNING AND ZONING, PARKS AND REC, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT GOING ON IN THE CITY OF COURSE AND AWESOME, AWESOME STUFF. BUT WE COULDN'T DO ALL OF THIS WITHOUT THESE DIFFERENT BOARDS. I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ON THE CHARTER REVIEW BOARD. THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR BUT I GIVE SO MUCH CREDIT TO ALL THAT SERVE AND TO PROVIDE THEIR KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE, AND TIME, AND SUPPORT, AND PATIENCE. AND I TRY TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS WHERE I CAN. IF NOT, I LISTEN OR READ THE MINUTES WHICH IN THESE PAST FEW MEETINGS HAVE BEEN PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON. SO REALLY WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUTOUT ABOUT THAT. AND I GUESS THE OTHER THING IS JUST IN THIS ENVIRONMENT THAT WE HAVE SEEN, BOTH AT A LOCAL LEVEL WITH THE CITY, COME PRETTY TRAGIC OCCURRENCES AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND WORLD, THAT WE CONTINUE TO UNITE, FOCUS ON KINDNESS AND LOVE, AND COMMUNITY. AND I WOULD SAY MAYOR, PROBABLY THE SHORTEST COMMENTS YOU WILL HEAR FROM ME, 
          BUT THAT'S WHAT I GOT. >> GREAT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          COMMISSIONER BRIER? >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. I KNOW WE HAVE A FULL AGENDA TONIGHT SO I WILL KEEP MY COMMENTS BRIEF. 
          THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ACCOMMODATING ME TO APPEAR VIRTUALLY. I FIRST WANT TO SEND MY CONDOLENCES AND LOVE TO THE REYES FAMILY. WE LOST A PARKLANDER AND A FRIEND OF MINE, GEORGE REYES, JORGE AS HE WAS REFERRED TO, PASSED WAY TOO EARLY, FAR TOO YOUNG. OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN. I HAD THE HONOR OF ATTENDING THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR JOY MILLCON AND WAS HUMBLED TO BE ASKED TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT JOY AND THE AMAZING LEGACY SHE LEAVES BEHIND. OUR PRAYERS AND LOVE ARE WITH HER FAMILY INCLUDING HER HUSBAND, HER CHILDREN WHO ARE NEIGHBORS OF OURS, HER SISTER AND EXTENDED FAMILY. ON A MUCH LIGHTER NOTE, I VERY MUCH LOOK FORWARD TO MAKE IT OUT THIS SATURDAY TO THE NEXT PARKLAND FISHING DERBY AND THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY IS OUR MOVIES IN THE PARK TWO GREAT FAMILY EVENTS THAT BRING US TOGETHER. THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. 
          >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN? 
          >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. FIRST I WOULD LIGHTNING TO ECHO COMMISSIONER MURPHY SALOMONE'S COMMENTS REGARDING OUR WONDERFUL BOARDS, ESPECIALLY THIS SUMMER. IT SEEMS LIKE PARKS AND RECIS KNOCKING IT OUT OF THE -- THANK YOU. SO MANY SUMMER ACTIVITIES, MOVIES IN THE PARK, AS A LONG ISLAND KID WHO PLAYED PIANO HIS WHOLE LIFE, SEEING TURN STYLES IN THE THEATER WAS GREAT. THE LAST SEATS AND BEATS OF THE YEAR WILL BE AUGUST 2ND. SHANE DUNCAN 
          [00:05:01]
BAND IS COMING. AND I WANT TO HEND CONDOLENCES TO THE NOGARA FAMILY. THEY LOST THEIR SON ON JULY 4TH WEEKEND. MARCO OWNS TIE STUDIO AND THEY ARE A WONDERFUL FAMILY THAT HAS CARED FOR OUR KIDS AND TAUGHT THEM TO BE BETTER HUMANS THROUGH THE MARTIAL ARTS. HE WAS A CHAMPION AND A COACH TO CHILDREN HE PARTICULARLY WAS FOND OF TEACHING KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. LAST WEEK HE WAS ACCEPTED TO SERVE IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY. AND UNFORTUNATELY THE FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH A TRAGEDY RIGHT NOW. I WANT THEM TO KNOW OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH 
          THEM AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. >> THANK YOU. VICE MAYOR? 
          >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN, I'M GOING TO ECHO THAT. IT'S A VERY TRAGIC SITUATION. AND SPEAKING OF ON THE SAME HEELS, TALKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS, THE FLASH FLOODS, TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE TRAGEDIES AND THESE EVENTS THAT HAPPEN THAT YOU CAN'T FATHOM OR IMAGINE, SEEM TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE OFTEN, WHETHER IT IS NATURAL OR MAN MADE OR OTHERWISE. THERE IS NO ROLL WORDS TO PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE OR CONTEXT. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE PAIN THAT THE FAMILIES ARE DEALING WITH, LOSS OF PEOPLE, PROPERTY, LIFE, JUST NORMALCY. SO OBVIOUSLY, THINKING ABOUT THEM, SENDING THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. I'M SURE THERE WILL BE OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR PEOPLE IN NEED. I ASK THAT EVERYONE CONSIDER WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN NEED, PEOPLE IN PARKLAND, THEY STEP UP. I WANT TO THANK SENATOR POLSKY FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. I KNOW THEY ARE GIVING A PRESENTATION AND I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR COMING. 
          IT WAS A PLEASURE TO BE AT THE GROUNDBRICKING FOR THE 36 ACRE PARK. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT FEW PEOPLE GET TO PARTICIPATE IN, WHETHER IT IS CITY INVOLVEMENT, COUNCIL, CITY STAFF, ANYONE, THE BIRTH OF A PARK IN A CITY, IT'S PRETTY COOL. MOST OF THE TIME GO TO A CITY AND YOU GO TOTHE PARK AND YOU TAKE FOR GRANTED IT'S THERE. BUT WE ARE CREATING ONE, AND AN AMAZING ONE. IT'S VERY EXCITING. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, JUST WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON, I'D LIKE TO APPRECIATE AND TAKE A MOMENT JUST TO SAY THANK YOU TO OUR CORAL SPRINGS PARKLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT. WE TALK A LOT ABOUT SAFETY AND WELL BEING AND THE HEALTH AND COMMUNITY BUT IT'S RARE WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO SEE IN ACTION, YOU KIND OF HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE TO. 
          UNFORTUNATELY LAST WEEK MY MOTHER IN LAW HAD SOME ISSUES WITH HER HEART, BREATHING, REQUIRED CALLING 911. AND I CAN TELL YOU NOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, THIS IS PROBABLY THE SECOND TIME, NOT ONLY THE SPEED AND PROFESSIONALISM OF OUR FIRE AND EMS BUT JUST THE HUMANITY. THESE PEOPLE ARE AMAZING AT WHAT THEY DO. IT TAKES A SPECIAL TYPE OF PERSON TO ACT UNDER HIGH PRESSURE, HIGH STRESS SITUATIONS, STILL GIVE AN ENDEARING, REASSURING KIND OF ENERGY AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR. THAT IS WHAT GIVES PEOPLE COMFORT AND CONFIDENCE IN TIMES OF EMERGENCY. I THANK THEM FOR THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF MOTORCYCLE, JASON, PLEASE SEND LOVE, APPRECIATION. WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN, IT MAKES YOU REALIZE THAT YOU HOPE YOU NEVER NEED IT BUT WHEN THEY ARE THERE, YOU WANT TO KNOW THEY ARE THE RIGHT TEAM AND PARKLAND HAS THE 
          RIGHT TEAM. THAT'S WHAT I GOT. >> WELL SAID, EVERYONE WELL SAID. WE CERTAINLY SEND OUR CONDOLENCES. I WANT TOMENTION, IT SOMES LIKE THIS IS A N A TOUGH COMMISSION MEETING. FORMER COMMISSION COMMISSIONER BOB WHITE HAS PASSED. HE SERVED 1982 TO 1984 UNDER BECKY GARREN. CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY AS WELL. I WANT TO TO TALK JUST FOR A MINUTE AND CLARIFY SOME OF MOY COMMENTS AND TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT I BROUGHT UP AT THE LAST MEETING AS FAR AS DOING SOME FEASIBILITY STUDIES FOR A CONVERSION TO CHARTER SCHOOLS. IT'S A FEASIBILITY STUDY. I THINK IT IS INCUMBENT ON US AS A COMMISSION TO MAKE SURE WE ARE LOOKING NOT JUST TODAY, NOT TOMORROW BUT FIVE OR TEN YEARS FROM NOW. AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE I WAS GOING WITH THAT. 
          BECAUSE SOME OF YOU WHO KNOW WHO ARE ON THE COMMISSION AT THE 
          [00:10:02]
TIME, TWO OF YOU WERE NOT BUT I'M SURE VERY AWARE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING. MSD WAS OVERCROWDED. WE WENT TO THE SCHOOL BOARD, AND WE ASKED FOR SOME RELIEF IN THAT OVER CROWDING AND WHAT THAT ENTAILED WAS TAKING OUT A ZONE FROM CORAL SPRINGS TO GIVE SOME OF T THAT RELIEF. NOW THAT RELIEF HAS GARNERED SOME OPEN SEATS. AND CORAL SPRINGS AND OTHERS WENT BACK TO THE BOARD AND ASKED TO GO BACK TO REZONE WHERE WE WERE BEFORE. PART OF MY CONCERN WITH THAT IS IT WAS JUST TWO YEARS AGO, OUR COMMUNITIES, CORAL SPRINGS AND PARKLAND WHO HAVE AMAZING RELATIONSHIPS, THIS PUT A STRIFE BETWEEN THE TWO COMMUNITIES THAT I THINK WAS UNNECESSARY, AND IT WAS UNFORTUNATE. BUT WE GOT THROUGH IT AND WE ARE GETTING BETTER. NOW THE SCHOOL BOARD IS LOOKING TO REDO THAT REBOUNDARY THAT THEY DID TWO YEARS AGO BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME OPEN SEATS. I MET WITH NANCY, SUPERINTENDENT KATHERINE GIBBONS WHO IS THE CITY MANAGER OF CORAL SPRINGS, ALSO SEAN SAR. AND WE HAD A CONVERSATION ON WHAT WE COULD DO TO GIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE WHO WERE REASSIGNED TO POTENTIALLY GET BACK INTO MSD. THAT WAS SOMETHING WE ALL AGREED ON, FINDING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK AND NOT NECESSARILY HAVING TO REZONE. BUT THAT IS NOT EASY FOR OUR COMMUNITIES TO GO THROUGH. WE ALL AGREE TO FIND SOME WAY RGS MAYBE THERE IS A PRIORITY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. LORERAL HAD HAD BROUGHT UP AT ONE OF THE MEETINGS TO DO POLICY 6400, SCOL CHOICE WHICH IS JUST THAT. IT ALLOWS THOSE WHO ARE REZONED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A PRIORITY TO GO BACK TO A SCHOOL THAT THEY WERE ORIGINALLY DISPLACED FROM. BUT WHAT THE SCHOOLBOARD IS LOOKING TO DO IS POLICY 8010 WHICH, WHAT THAT DOES IS, IT POTENTIALLY, AND AGAIN, EVERYTHING WE DO AS A COMMISSION, I THINK WE ARE THOUGHTFUL AT LOOKING AHEAD AND NOT JUST LOOKING AT TODAY. BUT WHAT THIS POLICY 8010 POTENTIALLY DOES IS IT IS A BOUNDARY CHOICE AREA. WHAT THAT WILL DO IS ALLOW THOSE IN THE C4 TAZZONE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO MSD. SHOULD THERE BE ADDITIONAL STUDENTS IN PARKLAND, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PARKLAND RESIDENTS TO HAVE TO GO TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL. AND THAT TO ME IS TROUBLING BECAUSE -- IT'S TROUBLING BECAUSE IT'S FEEDER PATTERN. THE SCHOOL BOARD TALKS ABOUT FEEDER PATTERNS, WE TALK ABOUT KEEPING OUR COMMUNITIES TOGETHER. SO EVERYONE FROM OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO WEST GLADES. EVERYONE FROM WEST GLADES HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO MSD. THE STUDENTS IN CORAL SPRINGS WHO GO TO MSD, THEY ARE IN CORAL SPRINGS MIDDLE, SOME GO TO CORAL GLADES. 
          SOME GO TO MSD. SO THEY HAVE A LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE STICK TOGETHER. BUT WHAT THIS POLICY POTENTIALLY DOES IS IT COULD DISPLACE IN THE FUTURE A PARKLAND RESIDENT TO HAVE TO GO TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL. AND THAT TO ME IS CONCERNING. MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES TOGETHER. WE TALK ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME, WHATEVER IT IS, WHETHER IT IS A TRAGEDY, WHETHER IT IS FUND RAISING. WE WANT TO KEEP OUR RESIDENTS TOGETHER. 
          THAT IS MORE SO WITH SCHOOLS. THAT IS WHY I BROUGHT UP A FEASIBILITY STUDY OR THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS. BECAUSE WE NEED TO KNOW ALL OF OUR OPTIONS. WE ALSO HAVE THE REDEFINING THE SCHOOLS. WHAT'S THAT GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE? WHAT IS THAT GOING TOLOOK LIKE THREE YEARS FROM NOW, FIVE YEARS FROM NOW? WE NEED TO BE EDUCATED NOT JUST FOR US BUT FOR FUTURE COMMISSIONS. MAYBE I'M NOT HERE, MAYBE VICE MAYOR ISROW IS NOT HERE, WHOEVER NEEDS TO BE EDUCATED ON THE OPTIONS GOING FORWARD. WE HAD HENDRICKS. IT COULD BE TEN YEARS, TWO MONTHS. 
          [00:15:02]
THAT WILL DRASTICALLY CHANGE THE SCHOOL MAKE-UP AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION WE CAN. SO WHETHER IT IS CONVERSIONS, WHETHER IT IS BUYING PROPERTY AND BUILDING A SCHOOL, THESE ARE ALL THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO KNOW AND WE NEED TO BE EDUCATED ON. BECAUSE BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, THEY HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND I CAN APPRECIATE THAT. BUT THEY NEED TO BE LOOKING OUT FOR THE DISTRICT. AND SINGLING OUT SPECIFIC AREAS KIND OF DEFEATS THAT PURPOSE. AGAIN, THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT REDEFINING BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOLS. WE NEED TO KNOW COMING AUGUST, WE WILL BE BACK POTENTIALLY, DOING WHAT T WE DID TWO YEARS AGO, TALKING ABOUT THE TA ZONES, C4, ADDING THAT. WE GREW SOME. WE ARE BUILDING SOME HOMES, PARKLAND ROYAL. IT IS NOT THAT WE ARE NOT DOING CONSTRUCTION BUT CORAL SPRINGS IS AS WELL. WE ARE ALL GROWING. WE ALL NEED TO TRY TO WURG TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT BENEFITS ALL OF THE STUDENTS. KNOWING NOW THAT CORAL GLADES, IN FACT ALL OF CORAL SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOLS ARE NOW A-RATED, WE CAN TAKE THAT OFF THE TABLE. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE WOULD HAVE HESITATION TO SEND THEIR CHILD TO A SCHOOL THAT MAY BE A C, D, OR B, WHATEVER, WHEN MSD TOMY KNOWLEDGE HAS PROBABLY ALWAYS BEEN AN A. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE SOMEBODY LIVING IN THAT AREA COULD FEEL SLIGHTED BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING FROM AN A-RATED SCHOOL TO A B-RATED SCHOOL. BUT THAT'S OFF THE TABLE. EVERY SCHOOL IS A-RATED. SO IT IS ABOUT KEEPING OUR RES DEPENDENTS TOGETHER. AND KEEPING THE FEEDER PATTERNS IN TACT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IS IMPORTANT. IF I GO TOPARK TRAILS, THEN THEY GETO WEST GLADES, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO TO MSD TO STAY WITH THEIR FRIENDS IN SCHOOLS, STAY WITH COMMUNITY IN REC PROGRAMS AND ALL OF THINGS THEY DO OUTSIDE OF SCOL WHICH I THINK IS ALSO VITALLY IMPORTANT. THAT'S WHERE MY HEAD WAS AT. AND THAT'S WHERE MY THINKING IS. IT IS NOT NECESSARILY FOR TODAY BUT IT IS FOR THE FUTURE. I THINK IT IS INCUMBENT UPON US AS A COMMISSION TO MAKE SURE WE ARE THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE PARKLAND RESIDENTS. THAT'S WHERE THE FEASIBILITY COMES IN. 
          AGAIN, WHETHER IT IS BUILDING NEW SCHOOLS, TAKING SOME OF THE PROPERTY WE HAVE, WHATEVER THAT IS, WE NEED TO BE LOOKING INTO ALL OF THAT, SO WE HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION. THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE. WE WILL MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL OF THE OPTIONS AND WE KNOW EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON. WITH THAT, WE WILL GO 
          [6. Proclamations and Recognitions]
AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO OUR PROCLAMATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS. 
          WE WILL GO DOWN TO THE WELL AND WE HAVE PARK AND RECREATION MONTH PROCLAMATION. SOMEBODY DIDN'T PRINT ME OUT THE BIGGER WORDS SO THIS WILL BE DIFFICULT. YOU ARE FORGIVEN, TODD. WE WILL BLAME CARLA. WE ALL LOVE PARKS AND RECBUT BEING A FATHER OF FIVE CHILDREN HAVING GONE THROUGH EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND, I WILL GO AHEAD AND ROAD THIS RECOGNITION AS BEST I CAN. PARKS AND RECREATION PROGRAMS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF COMMUNITIES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY INCLUDING THE CITY OF PARKLAND. THE FLORA AND VEGETATION IN PARKS HELP TO PRESERVE THE HEALTH OF THE ENVIRONMENT BY CLEANSING THE AIR, PROTECTING WILDLIFE, AND REPLENNISHING GROUND WATER. 
          PROVIDE THERAPEUTIC RECREATION SERVICES FOR THOSE WHO ARE MENTALLY PHYSICALLY DISABLED AND IMPROVE THE MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH OF ALL CITIZENS. THE CITY OF PARKLAND'S PARKS ARE HOME TO SOME OF THE MOST PREMIER RECREATION AND SPORTS FACILITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY. IN 2019, THE CITY OF PARKLAND, CITY COMMISSION HAD THE FORESIGHT TO LOOK BEYOND THE PRESENT AND PRESERVE A LAND PURCHASE THAT RESULTED IN 36 ACRES SET ASIDE FOR WHAT WILL BE THE CITY'S WEDGE PRESERVE PARK. THROUGH 
          [00:20:04]
VISION, PLANNING, AND DEEP ENGAGEMENT, OUR RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS, STAKEHOLDERS, AND THE CITY'S LEADERSHIP HELPED TO DESIGN WEDGE PRESERVE PARK, A UNIQUE UNPROGRAMMED PARK THAT WILL HELP INSPIRE AND SHAPE MEMORIES FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE A PARK THROUGH FROM CONCEPTION TO REALITY AS WE WILL DO WITH WEDGE PRESERVE PARK CAN BE A HUMBLING, ONCE IN A LIFETIME OCCURRENCE. THE CITY OF PARKLAND IS FORTUNATE TO WITNESS AND FACILITATE THIS EVENT. BE IT RESOLVED THAT I MAYOR RICH WALKER AND THE CITY COMMISSION HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF JULY AS PARK AND RECREATION MONTH. 
          . >> I THINK IT WAS CHRISTINE'S IDEA LONG AGO, WHETHER IT WAS 2018 OR 2019. I THOUGHT IT WAS TOO. IT WAS HER IDEA TO PURCHASE THE LAND. AND BOB WAS PART OF THE COMMISSION AT THAT TIME. SO I THINK IT IS NICE TOHAVE THEM UP HERE. 
          . >> 
          [7. Approval of the Agenda ]
          . >> OKAY. SO WITH THE AGENDA, WE ARE GOING TO TABLE AGENDA ITEM O, LET ME VERIFY IT IS O? I DON'T THINK I HAVE SEEN O BEFORE. SO WE ARE GOING TO TABLE O. SO WHO WOULD LIKE TO APPROVE THE AGENDA? 
          >> MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA, TABLING O. 
          >> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION BY VICE MAYOR ISROW AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MURPHY SALOMONE. 
          ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. 
          [8. Presentation ]
          >> ANY OPPOSED? PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. 
          >> SO NOW WE HAVE A PRESENTATION BY OUR AMAZING DELEGATE IN THE STATE. WE HAVE OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE CHRIS HANZ CHAUFSKY AND WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE AND GIVING US AN 
          UPDATE. >> THANK YOU. I'M STATE SENATOR TINA POLSKY. I REPRESENT ALL OF PARKLAND AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. I'M WITH WHO YOU KNOW WELL, REPRESENTATIVE HUNS COFSKY WHO REPRESENT TS SOME CITIES. WE WANT TODAY GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHAT HAPPENED IN TALLAHASSEE. THIS SESSION WAS 105 DAYS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T AGREE ON A BUDGET WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL. THIS IS MY SEVENTH SESSION AND I HAVE NEVER SEWN THAT. SOMETIMES WE GO OVER A DAY OR TWO. IT WAS A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH. FINALLY, WE PASSED THE BUDGET. THE GOVERNOR SIGNED THE BUDGET. UNFORTUNATELY, HE ALSO VETOED QUITE A FEW THINGS 
          [00:25:05]
INCLUDING THE PARKLAND PROJECT. WE WERE PROUD TO GET THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT APPROPRIATIONS INTO THE BUDGET. 
          AND THEN UNFORTUNATELY WHICH IS NUT AN EASY PROCESS AND THEY DO NOT TAKE ALL OF THE PROJECTS SO IT WAS A BIG DEAL THAT WE HAD IT IN THERE FOR THE CITY FOR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENTS. WE DON'T KNOW WHY BUT THE GOVERNOR DID VETO THAT PROJECT. WE DON'T HAVE A BIG CHECK TO PRESENT TO YOU BUT HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR. WE KEEP FIGHTING. WE APPRECIATE YOU ALL WHEN YOU COME UP TO TALLAHASSEE. IT WAS SIGNIFICANT THAT WE WERE IN THE BUDGET. THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT STEP BUT UNFORTUNATELY DIDN'T MAKE IT ALL THE WAY. THE GOVERNOR SIGNED $117 BILLION, A LITTLE SMALLER THAN YEARS PAST. A LOT OF THAT IS BASED ON NOT HAVING AS MUCH FEDERAL FUNDING AS WE HAD IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. ALSO, THERE HAS BEEN AN ATTEMPT TO CUT BACK ON SPENDING. 
          SOME POPAL MIGHT SAY ON THE SURFACE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE DON'T FUND A LOT OF THE PROGRAMS WE NEED TO AS FULLY AS WE SHOULD. AND THERE WERE SOME BILLS AT THE END WHICH PUT AWAY EVEN MORE MONEY INTO RESERVES THAN WHAT MANY PEOPLE, ECONOMISTS, ANALYSTS WOULD SAY IS NECESSARY. FLORIDA ALWAYS DOES HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET AND WE HAVE MONEY IN RESERVE AND WE HAVE ENOUGH. BUT WE JUST KEPT ADDING TO IT. THERE WAS KIND OF A PHILOSOPHY OF LET'S SPEND LESS. SO THEY HAD TO TAKE AWAY SOME MONEY BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MUCH MONEY. I THINK THAT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE WE NEED TO RAISE TEACHERS' SALARIES, WE NEED TO UP OUR HEALTH PROGRAMS. THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE ON WAITING LISTS. TOO MANY PEOPLE FIGHTING FOR BENEFITS THEY ARE NOT GETTING. I THINK MYSELF, THAT WAS A MISTAKE. YOU WILL SEE ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER OF DAT 26 AN AMENDMENT THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS PUTTING FORTH TO PUT MORE MONEY IN RESERVES GOING FORWARD. RIGHT NOW THE CONSTITUTION IS FOR 10%. THIS WOULD GO UP TO 25%. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE PUBLIC WILL VIEW THAT BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS NECESSARY TO HOLD BACK THAT MUCH MONEY WE NEED IN SERVICES WHEN WE HAVE COMFORTABLY ENOUGH IN RESERVES. 
          I WILL TALK ABOUT THE TAX PACKAGE AND THEN HAND IT OVER TO YOU. EVERY YEAR WE DO A TAX PACKAGE. A LOT OF TIMES YOU HEAR ABOUT THE BACK TO SCHOOL HOLIDAYS, THE HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS HOLIDAYS. WHAT THEY DID DIFFERENT THIS YEAR IS THEY MADE THOSE PERMANENT. WE WILL STILL ARE HAVE IN AUGUST, THE BACK TO SCHOOL HOLIDAY. THE CAP IS $100 FOR CLOTHING. WOE HAVE A PERMANENT HOLIDAY ON HURRICANE SUPPLIES. THERE WAS A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON CUTTING TAXES FOR BUSINESSES. AND SOMETHING THAT FLORIDA HAS UNIQUE, THE BUSINESS RENT TAX IS NOW GONE BUT THERE WERE OTHER CUTS FOR LARGE CORPORATIONS. THE FOLKS THAT BENEFITTED THE MOST FROM THIS TAX PACKAGE ARE BUSINESSES. I'M SURE MEPY OF YOU WHO PAY ATTENTION HAVE HEARD THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT PROPERTY TAX BEING CUT BACK. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN NEXT YEAR BUT REALLY, NOT TOO MUCH FOR CONSUMERS. ONE THING I WANTED TO ALERT YOU TO AND I HAVE AN EDITORIAL IN PRINT AND ONLINE, THEY SNUCK IN AN ALL GUNS, ALL AMMUNITION TAX EXEMPTION FOR THREE AND A HALF MONTHS UNDER THE GUYS OF HUNTING AND FISHING EXEMPTIONS. IT USED TO BE JUST ENJOY THE GREAT OUT DOORS FOR THIS PERIOD OF TIME AND YOU WILL BE TAX FREE BUT THERE IS NO LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT OF MONEY AN ASSAULT WEAPON WOULD COST AND YOU WOULD STILL GET IT TAX FREE FOR THAT TIME. THEY LIMIT THE COST OF CLOTHES BUT NOT FOR THAT. I THINK THAT IT IS REALLY PROBLEMATIC THAT WE HAVE A TAX EXEMPTION FOR FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION WHICH HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HU CENTS. YOU CAN READ MY EDITORIAL IN THE SENT TINAL TOMORROW. I WILL PASS OVER TO REP HUNSCHOFSKY FOR AN UPDATE. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TODAY. I WANT TO START OUT BY SAYING THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVOCACY FOR COMING UP FOR BROWARD DAYS AND FOR TALLAHASSEE. SOME OF YOU IT WAS THE FIRST TIME. SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE. WE WERE 
          [00:30:01]
FORTUNATE TO HAVE MEETINGS WHEN WE MET WITH PEOPLE FROM D.E.P. 
          FOR WATER ISSUES HAPPENING IN PARKLAND. FOR THE RESIDENTS WHO THINK, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO ARE DEALING WITH STATE ISSUES, THEY DON'T IMPACT YOU, IT IS VERY SURPRISING WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT ALL OF THE THINGS THE STATE DOES IMPACT, YOUR PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE, WHAT YOU CAN BILL AND WHERE. SO IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE DIALOGUE CONTINUE TO BE VERY GOOD BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I CAN HEAR FROM THE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION ON WHAT ARE ISSUES ON THE GROUND, AND THEN GO TO THE STATE AND TALK TO THE PEOPLE IN THE STATE WHO CAN ACTUALLY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THAT. WE ALSO HAD A WONDERFUL TALK WITH THE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER WHO LOVES TO TALK ABOUT INSURANCE IN DETAIL. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THIS SESSION, NO MATTER HOW MUCH ALL OF US HAVE TALKED ABOUT INCREASING PROPERTY INSURANCE RATES, MY WENT UP 12% THIS YEAR. I KEEP TELLING PEOPLE THIS WAS THE YEAR IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER AND IT WENT UP 12%. AUTO INSURANCE IS AN ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, NOTHING GOT PASSED LEADERSHIP WITH ANY CHANGES WITH HOW THOSE ARE STRUCTURED. SO THE STATUS QUO CONTINUES. I DID WANT TO MENTION ONE OF THE APPROPRIATIONS WHILE IT DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE CITY, WE DID GET 350,000 IN THE BUDGET FOR EAGLES HAVEN. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT AWARE, THEY ARE FREE TO EVERYONE AND YOU CAN GO THERE FOR WELLNESS. THEY HAVE TRAINED CLINICIANS FOR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, PEOPLE IN CRISIS. I THINK THEY ARE A WONDERFUL ASSET TO THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY AND FILL A GAP THAT IS NEEDED. THEY CAN ALSO HELP YOU FIND WHERE YOUR NEXT HELP CAN COME FROM. IF YOU HAVEN'T CHECKED THEM OUT, PLEASE CHECK EAGLESHAVEN.ORG AND THEY ARE A GREAT RESOURCE. ADDITIONALLY, I WANT TO THANK CITY MANAGER NANCY MORANDO WE ARE ON THE COLLECT COMMITTEE. WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ON PROPERTY TAXES THIS SESSION BUT I EXPECT SOMETHING COMING FORWARD TO BE ON THE BALLOT IN 2026. THE DIFFICULT THING ABOUT ADDRESSING PROPERTY TAX IS IT IS NOT LIKE A SALES TAX. DIFFERENT CITIES DEPENDENT ON PROPERTY TAXES IN DIFFERENT WAYS DEPENDENTING ON THEIR SIZE AND HOW THEY ARE FINANCED. SOME OF THE BIGGER CITIES HAVE ALL OF THESE OTHER TYPES OF TAX REVENUE STREAMS THAT SMALLER MORE RURAL CITIES DON'T HAVE. YOU HAVE SOME CITIES THAT ARE 99% DEPENDENT ON PROPERTY TAXES FOR THEIR BUDGET. THAT MEANS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, FIRE DEPARTMENT, ROADS, PARKS, EVERYTHING IN THE CITY. YOU HAVE OTHER CITIES WHO ARE ONLY 20 TO 25% DEPENDENT ON PROPERTY TAX. IF WE ARE LOOKING AT ADDRESSING PROPERTY TAXES WHICH DOES NOT IMPACT THE STATE BUDGET. IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT LOWERING HAD 24 STATE BUDGET, YOU WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT SALES TAX AS ASUPPOSED TO PROPERTY TAX. I DO KNOW THE CITY OF PARKLAND AND I KNOW THIS PERSONALLY FROM MY EXPERIENCE, HAVING ATTENDED CITY COMMISSION MEETINGS, AND SEEING THE COMMISSION NOW AND SEEING MY CURRENT TAX BILL, THE NOTICES WILL BE COMING OUT SOON, THE CITY HAS BEEN VERY FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE WITH RESIDENTS' MONEY. BUT THAT MONEY DOES GO TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY IS SAFE. WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY TAX DEBATE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THINK WHAT DO I WANT MY COMMUNITY TO BE LIKE, WHAT KIND OF COMMUNITY DO I WANT TO INVEST IP. THE BEAUTY IS ANYONE CAN GO TO ANY CITY'S WEBSITE AND LOOK AT THE BUDGET AND READ IT AND SEE WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING AND ATTEND THE BUDGET MEETINGS IN SEPTEMBER AND EXPRESS THEIR OPINION. IT IS MUCH HARDER TO DO THAT IN TALLAHASSEE. OUR BUDGET IS I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF PAGES. IT IS A LOT HARDER. THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF IN WRITING THAT IS NOT LISTED OUT. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO IS CONCERNED OR CURIOUS TO REALLY LOOK AT THE BUDGETS. ONE OF THE BILLS THAT CAME UP THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT ACROSS WAS ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS. THERE WAS A BILL IN THE STATE HAT WOULD ALLOW ANYONE TO BUILD AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT ON THE PROPERTY AND WOULDN'T ALLOW THE CITY TO HAVE ANY SAY OVER IT. SO THAT MEANS YOU COULD BE IN AN AREA AND DECIDE YOU ARE GOING TO BUILD AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT. IT COULD EVEN GO FOR VACATION RENTALS AND THERE WOULD BE NO RESTRICTIONS THE CITY COULD IMPOSE. I HAD AN AMENDMENT TO IT THAT WOULD HAVE MANDATED THAT THE LEASES WOULD BE LONGTERM LEASES SO THEY 
          [00:35:01]
WOULDN'T BE POPPING UP EVERYWHERE AS A WAY TO GO THROUGH WITH THE VACATION RENTAL PROCESS. UNFORTUNATELY, IT DIDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH. THAT'S ALSO WHERE THE ADVOCACY FROM THE CITIES COMES IN. THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THE STATE IS TRYING TO DO TO TIE YOUR HANDS. I REMEMBER AS A LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIAL, HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS WHEN YOU HAVE RESIDENTS COMING SAYING WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING ABOUT DOT DOT DOT AND YOUR ANSWER IS, IF ONLY THE STATE WOULD ALLOW US TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, I WOULD. I WANT YOU TO KNOW I APPRECIATE WORKING ON THAT. AND I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T MEPGZ THE LOCAL BILL, ANNEXING PROPERTY BETWEEN PARKLAND AND CORAL SPRINGS. AND ADDITIONALLY AN ETHICS BILL REGARDING THE THOSE WERE SOME GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPENED. AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. ADDITIONALLY FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE HERE AND FOR ANYONE WHO THE FIVE PEOPLE WHO MAYBE WATCH ON TELEVISION, WE ARE VERY HONORED TO REPRESENT THIS CITY AND OTHER CITIES IN THE DISTRICT. IF YOU EVER HAVE ANY ISSUES, STATE ISSUES, EMPLOYMENT, DRIVER'S LICENSES, WHATEVER, WE ARE HERE TO HELP IN ANY WAY YOU CAN. I WANT TO THANK THE CITY FOR PARTNERRING WITH US ON THOSE FLOW EVENTS TO HELP THE RESIDENTS NOT HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE TO GET THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE BUT THEY CAN DOIT HERE, THANK YOU. 
          >> I JUST WANTED TO ADD, WHEN YOU MENTIONED PREEMPTION, THIS YEAR WASN'T QUITE AS BAD AS OTHER YEARS WITH RESPECT TO PREEMPTION BUT THERE IS ONE IMPORTANT BILL THAT PASSED THAT I WANT ALL OF THE RESIDENCE TO KNOW ABOUT. IT WAS PART OF A LARGE AGRICULTURAL BILL BUT IT BANS THE USE OF FLORRIDE IN PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS. I KNOW MANY RESIDENTS OF PARKLAND DID HAVE FLORRIDE IN THAT YOU ARE WATER UP IN TILL RECENTLY. SO BE AWARE, TALK TO YOUR DENTISTS AND FIGURE OUT IF YOU NEED A GAME PLAN BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT IS NO LONGER IN YOUR WATER WHEN IT WAS ALL THESE YEARS. SO REPHUNSCHOFSKY AND I HAVE NEWS LETTERS THAT WE ARE HAPPY TO SHARE. WE HAVE OUR GREAT STAFF HERE, GUYS, RISE YOUR HANDS. PLEASE COME OVER AND YOU CAN GIVE THEM YOU'RE MAIL ADDRESS IF YOU DON'T RECEIVE OUR NEWS LETTERS AND WE ARE HERE TO HELP. SESSION GETS STARTED AGAIN NEXT JANUARY BUT THAT MEANS WE WILL BE IN COMMITTEE WEEKS, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER. AND THE BROWARD DELGRATION, BOB MAYORSON HAS PUT OUT THE DATES FOR BROWARD DELEGATION MEETINGS AND THOSE WILL BE IN THE FALL AS WELL. ANYONE IS WELCOME TO COME AND SPEAK TO THE WHOLE DELEGATION. I THINK THERE ARE 20 OF US FOR BROWARD COUNTY. PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF THAT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME AND CHECK THAT OUT. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE ARE 
          OPEN TO QUESTIONS. GO AHEAD. >> I WILL DO ONE LAST THING BEFORE I FORGET. I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE IMPACTED THE CITY. THAT'S WHAT THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE IS ABOUT FOR THE COMMISSION. THERE WERE GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE SESSION. CITIES WERE UNDER A MICROSCOPE SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT PERTAINED TO THE CITIES WEREN'T AS PLEASANT. I SPONSORED TEN BILLS THAT PASSED THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND GOT SIGNED INTO LAW FROM RANGING TO HELPING GET MORE SOCIAL WORKERS INTO SCHOOL, GETTING MENTAL HEALTH TO PEOPLE MORE AND ALSO SCHOOL SAFETY. SO I JUST WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR THAT WE WERE VERY TARGED ON THINGS THAT IMPACTED THE CITY DIRECTLY AND THE PROPERTY TAX, WE WILL HAVE TO BE IN COMMUNICATION WITH THAT BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT IF IT IS ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER 2026 OF HOW THE CITY 
          WILL HAVE REVENUE. >> THANK YOU BOTH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR OUR COMMUNITIES UP IN TALLAHASSEE. I SPECIFICALLY APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS WITH THE PROPERTY TAX ISSUE. 
          UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS A LAW OF LEGISLATORS THAT WERE NOT LOCAL OFFICIALS LIKE YOU WERE WHO HAVE A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IT TAKES TO OPERATE A CITY AND WHERE THAT FUNDING COMES FROM. 
          IT'S A LOT EASIER FOR THE LEGISLATORS TO SAY, LET'S ABOLISH PROPERTY TAXES BECAUSE THERE IS NO LOBBYIST OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT IS US LOCAL OFFICIALS TRYING TO FIGHT THAT BATTLE AS OPPOSED TO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES WHO I'M SURE HAVE BIG DOLLARS THAT GO INTO THOSE WHO ARE AFRAID TO WORK ON THAT ISSUE. I NOTE THE TWO OF YOU ARE NOT AFRAID TO GO INTO THAT. I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO THINK -- I DON'T WANT 
          [00:40:03]
YOU TO THINK I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THOSE ISSUES. IT IS VERY DISHEARTENING TO HEAR THAT CONTINUES TO BE SOMETHING THAT THE STATE WANTS TO GO AFTER RATHER THAN GO AFTER PROPERTY INSURANCE WHICH IS THE ISSUE. YOURS WENT UP 12%. MINE WENT UP A SIMILAR AMOUNT. THOSE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THAT PEOPLE ARE PAYING EVERY YEAR FOR INSURANCE THEY MAY OR MAY NOT USE DEPENDENTING ON WHERE YOU LIVE. I CAN UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE CATASTROPHES THERE HAVE BEEN IN FLORIDA BUT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES I KNOW MAKE PLENTY OF MONEY. THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THEY CAN DO TO DRIVE DOWN INSURANCE COSTS. I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR EFFORTS IN TRYING TO WORK THAT ANGLE, THE PROPERTY TAX THING TO ME IS AN ABSOLUTE TOTAL DISASTER. I COULDN'T THINK OF A WORSE IDEA. I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS TO DO THE BEST YOU CAN TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ANY QUESTIONS 
          OR COMMENTS. >> I THINK THAT IT IS WELL SAID. 
          IT IS NOT AN EASY FIGHT. TALLAHASSEE IS A COMPLICATED DYNAMIC. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. I UNDERSTAND THE VOTEO PEN, THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH CONTROL YOU HAVE. BUT WHAT YOU DO IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. 
          >> PARKLAND, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, YOU HAVE TO LINE ITEM THAT OUT, GOVERNOR? THAT IS ALMOST COMICAL BUT WHAT DO I 
          KNOW? >> I JUST WANT TO ECHO THE GRATITUDE FOR ALL YOU DO AND THE STAFF AS WELL. THIS SESSION WAS GRUELLING, I'M SURE. YOU GUYS JUST MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE AND 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO DO THIS JOB. EVEN THOUGH I DON'T AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT PASSES, THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO WORK ON. I MENTIONED THE LEGISLATION THAT PASSED, I MENTIONED LEGISLATION WE WERE ABLE TO AMEND. 
          >> EAGLES HAVEN IS AMAZING FOR OUR COMMUNITY. 
          >> WHILE THERE IS A FOCUS ON CITIES RIGHT NOW, WHILE THIS IS NOT NORMALLY AS JOYFUL OF A PRESENTATION WE MAKE TO THE CITY, I'M GRATEFUL TO REPRESENT THIS AMAZING CITY IN TALLAHASSEE AND I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO DO THAT. WE APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU.

          DATE. >> WELL DONE. 
          >> THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR,, VICE MAYOR COMMISSIONERS AND THANK YOU FOR THAT MOUTHFUL, SORRY ABOUT THAT. TONIGHT IS THE FIRST FORMAL STEP FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 BUDGET. THIS EVENING AS YOU HAVE HEARD, THE FOUR RESOLUTIONS READ, WE WILL BE VOTING ON SETTING THE MAXIMUM PROPOSED RATES FOR BOTH THE MILLAGE I THREE DIFFERENT ASSESSMENTS. 
          THESE ARE THE CEILINGS. THEY COULD BE LOWERED AT THE SEPTEMBER PUBLIC HEARINGS BUT THEY CANNOT BE INCREASED . IN AUGUST, WE WILL HAVE TWO WORK SHOPS. THE FIRST IS ON THE 6TH. 
          THAT IS FOCUSED ON THE RESIDENTS. THEN THERE WILL BE A MEETING ON THE 13TH. THAT WILL BE THE COMMISSION'S BUDGET'S WORK SHOP WHERE WE WILL GEINTO A LOT MORE OF THE DETAILS OF THE BUDGET. I KNOW AT THE DAIS, YOU HAVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL BOOKS AND IT TAKES TIME TO GET THROUGH IT. THAT'S WHY WE GIVE YOU THE SUMMER, PLEASURE READING, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IT TOGETHER AND HAVING IT DONE TONIGHT. IN AUGUST, THE PROPERTY APPRAISER WILL MAIL OUT THE TRIM NOTICES FOR ALL OF THE PROPERTY T OWNERS SO THEY CAN BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THOSE AS WELL. IN SEPTEMBER, WE HAVE THE FORMAL PUBLIC HEARINGS. THE FIRST IS GOING TO BE ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 AT 5:01 P.M. AND THAT MAY SOUND LIKE AN ODD TIME AND AN ODD DAY. WE WOULDN'T TYPICALLY HAVE A MEETING ON A FRIDAY EVENING BUT THE STATE DOES RESTRICT THE DAYS THAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO PRESENT THAT FIRST HEARING. IT IS BETWEEN THE 12 AND 15 WHICH HAPPENS TO FALL FRIDAY TO MONDAY. AND YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE SUNDAY MEETINGS. THAT'S WHY THERE IS A MEETING AT FRIDAY AND 5:01 IS THE EARLIEST IT IS ALLOWED TO BE HAD. THAT'S AN EXPLANATION OF THAT. AT THAT MEETING, WE WILL HAVE THE FINAL ASSESSMENT RATE RESOLUTIONS AS WELL AS THE FIRST READINGS OF THE ORDINANCES FOR THE MILLAGE RATE. A NORMAL WEDNESDAY NEATING AT 6:00, WE WILL HAVE THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING AND THAT WILL BE THE SECOND READING FOR THE ORDINANCES FOR THE MILLAGE RATE. BETWEEN THE FIRST AND THE SECOND MEETING, WE WILL BE PUBLISHING THE STATE REQUIRED ADS. YOU WILL SEE THOSE IN THE PAPER. AS YOU ARE AWARE, UP TO 60 DAYS AFTER THE FISCAL YOUR, WE CAN ALWAYS ALWAYS AMEND THE BUDGET WITH THE ORDINANCES. WHERE IS THE CITY OF PARKLAND TODAY? WE HAD SOME GOOD NEWS WITH THE JULY NUMBERS. THE PROPERTY VALUS WERE AROUND $8.7 BILLION. THAT WAS A 6.7% INCREASE. THE ESTIMATE FROM JUNE WENT UP WITH THE JULY NUMBERS. WE WERE VERY HAPPY TO SEE THAT. 
          THE CHANGE TO THE EXISTING VALUES WAS ABOUT $475 MILLION, A 5.81% INCREASE. THERE WAS NEW TAXABLE VALUE OF $73 MILLION. 
          PARKLAND WAS THE FOURTH LOWEST FOR THE NET INCREASE. THE COUNTY WIDE AVERAGE WAS 8.91%. OVERALL THE COUNTY HAD A 9.5% INCREASE IN TAXABLE VALUE. I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT SHOWS THERE ISN'T A LOT OF HOUSES. THERE ARE WANT A LOT OF HOUSES ON THE MARKET IN PARKLAND AND THERE IS A LOT OF HOMESTEAD PORTABILITY WHEN THEY MOVE FROM ONE HOME TO ANOTHER, THEY BRING THAT PORTABILITY WITH THEM. SO THE PROPERTY VALUES ARE NOT 
          [00:50:02]
INCREASING AT THE SAME RATE AS SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES. IF YOU REMEMBER OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING, WE DISCUSSED HOW EXPENDITURES ARE INCREASING AT GREATER RATE THAN REVENUE. WE ARE PLEASED TO PRESENT THE BALANCED BUDGET WITH THE SAME MILLAGE RATE OF THE PAST FIVE YEARS, 4.2979. I DON'T THINK THAT WILL BE THE CASE FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS BUT FOR NOW, YOU CAN KNOW THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN VERY FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE IN THE PAST AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO WHILE PROVIDING THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICES FOR THE RESIDENTS. THE PROPOSED MILLAGE RATE THE SAME WITH HIGHER PROPERTY VALUS WILL BRING AN ADDITIONAL $2.15 MILLION IN REVENUE FOR THE GENERAL FUND. WHY IS THE DISCUSSION ON THE TAXABLE VALUS AND THE MILLAGE RATE SO IMPORTANT? BECAUSE ADVALOR M REVENUE MAKES UP 61% OF THE ENTIRE GENERAL FUND BUDGET. HOPEFULLY WHEN RESIDENTS HEAR THAT NUMBER, MUCH MORE THAN HALF, IT GIVES PERSPECTIVE SO WHEN THEY HEAR THE DISCUSSIONS THAT THE STATE REPRESENTATIVE AND SENATOR WERE DISCUSSING EARLIER THIS EVENING ABOUT CUTTING OR ELIMINATING PROPERTY TAXES, THEY DO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT THAT WOULD HAVE ON CITY OPERATIONS, ESPECIALLY THE ABILITY TO FUND PUBLIC SAFETY. EVEN WITH THE INCREASE OF PROPERTY VALUS, THE REVENUE ONLY WENT UP 2.1%. A LUT OF THE OTHER REVENUES THE CITY RECEIVES ARE ALSO STAGNANT. THE ROLLBACK RATE THIS YEAR IS 4.0618. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WILL HEARD READ INTO THE RECORD AT THE PUBLIC HEARINGS. IT HAS TO BE MENTIONED. WHAT THAT RATE STANDS FOR IS THE MILLAGE RATE IT WOULD TAKE TO BRING IN THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF REVENUE NEXT YEAR AS WE BROUGHT IN THIS YEAR. TOUGH TO DO WHEN YOU KNOW THE EXPENDITURES ARE COMING UP. THE FIRST ASSESSMENT IS THE FIRE ASSESSMENT. I THINK THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED AT STRATEGIC PLANNING IS TO INCREASE THE FIRE ASSESSMENT AT THE SAME RATE AS THE CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT. THE PROPOSED CORAL SPRINGS PARKLAND CONTRACT HAS A PROPOSED INCREASE AND THAT'S WHAT IT HAS BEEN INCREASED BY. THE RESIDENTIAL RATE IS $327.06. THAT IS A CHANGE OF JUST $16.08 FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. SOMETHING TO POINT OUT THAT THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE WILL RECEIVE FROM THAT CHANGE IS ABOUT $200,000 BUT THE ADDITIONAL CONTRACT COST IS ABOUT $500,000. SO IT IS A PIECE OF WHAT IS FUNDING THE ACTUAL FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL RATES THAT ARE ASSESSED PER SQUARE FOOT WILL ALSO INCREASE BY THE SAME PERCENTAGE. THIS CHART GIVES A LITTLE HISTORY. YOU CAN SEE THE CITY LEFT THE RATE FLAT AT $250 FOR MANY YEARS. IN 2022, THERE WAS AN UPDATE TO THE FIRE ASSESSMENT STUDY WHICH ANALYZES THE CALDATA, THE REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES AND DETERMINES THE NEW MAXIMUM RATE THE CITY CAN SET. YOU SEE THERE WERE GRADUAL INCREASES YEAR OVER YEAR BECAUSE IT WAS IN LINE WITH THE CONTRACT CHANGES. THE RED LINE SHOWS THE MAXIMUM ALOWED RATE. WE HAVE GONE UP SLIGHTLY EACH YEAR BUT WE ARE WELL BELOW THE MAXIMUM RATE OF $476. SO WE ARE BEING CONSERVATIVE WITH THE FIRE ASSESSMENT. THE SECOND IS FOR SOLID WASTE. THAT IS A PASS THROUGH RATE. THE RATES ARE ADJUSTED ANNUALLY BASED ON C.P.I. THE NEW RESIDENTIAL RATE IS $472.68 WHICH IS AN INCREASE OF $19.44 FOR THE YOUR. THE MULTIFAMILY AND COMMERCIAL RATES THAT ARE BILLED DIRECTLY FROM WASTE MANAGEMENT TO BUSINESSES WILL ALSO BE ADJUSTED BY C.P.I. ACCORDINGLY. THIS IS A REVENUE WE BRING INTO THE CITY AND WE TURN AROUND AND PAY IT TO WASTE MANAGEMENT FOR THE SERVICE THEY PROVIDE. THE LAST ASSESSMENT THIS EVENING IS THE STORM WATER ASSESSMENT. THIS WAS ESTABLISHED RECENTLY IN 2023. AND FISCAL YEAR 26 WILL ONLY BE THE THIRD YEAR OF ASSESSMENT. IT WAS BASED ON A STORM WATER STUDY AND AN ORDINANCE THAT ESTABLISHED RATES BASED ON SINGLE FAMILY UNITS. 
          YOU WILL SEE THAT SFU TERM USED. THE ASSESSMENTS ARE PORTIONED BY DISTRICT BASED ON THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT THE CITY STAFF 
          [00:55:03]
PROVIDES TOTHAT AREA DIRECTLY. THE INCREASE IS BASED ON CPI OF 2.2%. JUST SOMETHING TO POINT OUT, THE SOLID WASTE CPI IS VERY SPECIFIC FOR TRASH AND WASTE COLLECTION. THIS IS THE GENERAL CPI, 2.2%. THAT WAS APRIL. SO THE INCREASES THAT THE RESIDENTS WILL SEE RANGE FROM 87 CENTS TO $3.96. SO THAT SHOWS YOU THE RATES FOR EACH DISTRICT THAT WE ASSESS. AND THAT IS JUST A BRIEF OVER VIEW OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING. AS I MENTIONED, IN AUGUST, WE WILL HAVE A MUCH MORE DETAILED BUDGET WORK SHOP WHERE WE WILL GEGO INTO MORE DETAILS. IN THE MEANTIME, I HOPE YOU HAVE SOME PLEASURE READING BEFORE YOU SIS SUMMER AND I'M HERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. 
          >> DO YOU WANT TO DO QUESTIONS, ASK QUESTIONS ON THE SPECIFIC AGENDA ITEM AND WE WILL VOTE ON IT AND SO FORTH. FOR NOW, IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ON 10A WHICH IS THE MILLAGE RATE. ONE THING I WANT TO BRING UP WHICH I NEGLECTED TO BRING UP WHEN THE SENATOR AND REPRESENTATIVE WERE HERE, PEOPLE NEED TO BE ENGAGED WITH THE PROPERTY TAX ISSUE SPECIFICALLY FOR CITIES LIKE OURS THAT HAVE LOW MILLAGE RATES. YOU ARE PAYING THE PROPERTY TAXES ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. THIS IS ONLY SHIFTING THE MONEY FROM LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES TO THE STATE GOVERNMENT. SO INSTEAD OF BEING ABLE TO COME AND COMPLAIN TO VICE MAYOR OR COMMISSIONER SALOMONE, YOU WILL HAVE TO GO UP TO TALLAHASSEE AND EXPLAIN TO THEM BECAUSE SOME OF YOUR SERVICES ARE BEING REDUCED OR WHATEVER. BECAUSE WE WILL LOSE MOST OF THE CONTROL WE HAVE FOR OUR FIRE, POLICE, ALL OF THE SERVICES, PAVING THE ROADS, ALL OF THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE TO THE RESIDENTS, THE PARKS THAT WE BUILD. BECAUSE YOU WILL PAY. 
          CITIES LIKE OURS WHO HAVE BEEN FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY YEARS WILL BE HURT THE MOST. WE'LL END UP PAYING MORE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WISH I HAD BROUGHT UP WHICH I'M SURE I WILL HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM, THE PORTABILITY ISSUE. O O WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THAT MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PROPERTY TAXES GO AWAY? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE PORTABILITY? IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT. WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT PROGRAM WILL LOOK LIKE? A LOT OF PEOPLE USE IT TO UP GRADE. YOU ARE A YOUNG FAMILY WITH ONE CHILD. YOU HAVE A SMALL HOME, THEN AN EXTRA, MAYBE YOU ARE CRAZY LIKE ME AND YOU HAVE FIVE AND YOU NEED A BIGGER HOUSE. THE PORTABILITY IS IMPORTANT FOR SOMETHING FOR YOU TO USE. OUR RES DEPENDENTS NEED TO STAY ENGAGED IN THE PROPERTY TAX CONVERSATION. I THINK I COULD NOT, THE LEGSHIP IS SO OFF ON THIS TOPIC, IT IS MIND-BOGGLING THAT THIS IS EVEN A TOPIC. IT SOUNDS GOOD. RESIDENTS SAY I DON'T HAVE TO PAY 10,000, 15,000, MY PROPERTY TAXES. YOU'RE GOING TO PAY AND YOU WILL PAY TO THE STATE. THEN THEY WILL DECIDE WHERE THE MONEY GOES AND WHO GETS IT AND THAT'S A SCARY THOUGHT. IT'S A LOT EASIER TO CHANGE YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AT A LOCAL LEVEL. 
          TRYING TO CHANGE THEM AT A STATE LEVEL, FORGET ABOUT IT. BUT THAT'S MY TWO CENTS THERE. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON 
          REGULAR AGENDAA? >> I DON'T KNOW HAVE QUESTIONS SO TO SPEAK BUT I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND HARD WORK, AND PUTTING TOGETHER THE BUDGET AND FINANCE AND THE REST OF THE DEPARTMENTS. I WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT WHICH IS YOU LOOK AT EVERYTHING GOING ON IN THIS WORLD, INFLATION, I CAN'T NAME A SINGLE THING THAT COSTS THE SAME PRICE THIS YEAR AS IT COST LAST YEAR. AND YET YOU LOOK IN THE BUDGET AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CITIES CAN %-Ú  THE SAME MILLAGE RATE FOR FIVE FISCAL YEARS IN A ROW. WITH EVERYTHING INCREASING, THE COST OF EGGS IS ALREADY AN ASTRONOMICAL CONCEPT BUT WE ARE ADDING SERVICES, ADDING INFRASTRUCTURE WHILE MAINTAINING THE LEVEL OF SERVICE AND QUALITY, MAINTAINING THE SAME MILLAGE RATE FOR FIVE YEARS. 
          THAT TO ME IS A DEFINITION OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. I'M GRATEFUL FOR OUR TEAM AND STAFF TO EFFECTUATE THAT. THAT IS 
          [01:00:02]
IMPRESSIVE. I DON'T CARE WHAT INDUSTRY YOU ARE IN. EVERYONE HAS TO DEAL WITH INFLATION AND ECONOMIC IMPACT. SO KUDOS TO ALL OF YOU. THAT'S REALLY SPECIAL AND IMPRESSIVE AND STILL HAVING 
          THE RESERVE, THANK YOU. >> MR. MAYOR, MAY I MAKE ANOTHER 
          COMMENT? >> OF COURSE. 
          >> TO REFLECT OFF WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, THE DISCUSSION WAS ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAXES WHICH IS EXTREME BUT THE DISCUSSION OF AN EXTRA $50,000 HOME STD, THAT WOULD EQUAL ABOUT $2 MILLION IN REVENUE FOR US. YOU CONSIDER THAT AND HOW MUCH THE POLICE AND FIRE CONTRACTS ARE GOING UP THIS YEAR, HOW WOULD YOU FUND THAT LOSING THE $2 MILLION, EVEN THE SMALLER CHANGES THAT THEY ARE RECOMMENDED WOULD HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE LOCAL CITIES AND OUR ABILITY TO FUND THINGS LIKE PUBLIC SAFETY. FOR THIS BEING MY FIRST YEAR HERE AND MY FIRST BUDGETAT PARKLAND, I WANT TO SAY IT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL WORKING WITH THE FINANCE STAFF AND THE DIRECTORS AND NANCY WHO IS SO HANDS ON AND THESE MEETINGS, SHE GETS INTO EVERY LINE AND EVERY DETAIL. I THINK YOU CAN BE VERY CONFIDENT IN KNOWING THAT THIS CITY IS VERY CONSERVATIVE AND WELL RUN. IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE TO BE HERE FOR MY FIRST BUDGET WITH THIS CITY, THANK YOU. 
          >> ON BUT TALK ABOUT TAKING AWAY HOME RULE AND LOCAL RULE FOR THE STATE TO SAY, WE WILL DECIDE WHAT PARKLAND GETS, WHAT CORAL SPRINGS GETS. TO ME, THEY SHOULD BE BRAVE AND TAKE ON THE INSURANCE COMPANIES BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE SAVINGS SHOULD BE COMING FROM. BECAUSE THEY MAKE MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY. 
          ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? MOTION TO APPROVE. 
          >> SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION BY VICE MAYOR ISROW AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN. ROLL CALL? COMMISSIONER MURPHY 
          SALOMONE. >> YES. 
          >> COMMISSIONER BRIER. >> YES. 
          >> COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN? >> YES. 
          >> VICE MAYOR? >> YES. 
          >> MAYOR WALKER? >> YES. PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. AGENDA ITEM 10B, THE FIRE ASSESSMENT. ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC? COME ON. WE THOUGHT YOU WERE HERE TO SEE REPRESENTATIVE HUNSCHOFSKY BUT WE KNOW THE REAL 
          REASON. >> FIRST OF ALL, YOU DID A GREAT JOB, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I KNOW YOU WILL PASS THE FIRE ASSESSMENT FEE. I DO WANT TO, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, I KNOW COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN, COMMISSIONER SALOMONE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO ABOUT MY PHILOSOPHY ABOUT THE FIRE ASSESSMENT AS WELL AS VICE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER BRIER. BECAUSE SITTING ON THE SAME DAIS, WE WEREN'T ABLE TO TALK UNLESS IT WAS A PUBLIC MEETING. 
          >> FOR THE RECORD, I DID BRING IT UP IN STRATEGIC PLANNING. 
          >> HE KNOWS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU, I CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE. I THINK IT IS A FAIRER APPROACH. IT IS A TIERED SYSTEM. IT SOLVED A LOT OF ISSUES. GOING BACK TO JUST PUDDLE JUMPING A LITTLE ON YOU MENTIONED THE PROPERTY TAX, I KNOW THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF NOT IMPACTING SCHOOLBOARDS. SO SCHOOLBOARDS WOULD STILL HAVE THE PROPERTY TAX AS WELL AS ONE OF THE THIPGS OUT THERE. AS A COMMISSION, I KNOW THAT WHEN I WAS ON THE COMMISSION, WE ALSO DISCUSSED AND LOOKED AT TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY APPETITE FOR A FIRE DISTRICT. I KNOW THE STATE HAS THEIR OWN OPINION ABOUT THAT. BUT THAT WOULD RELIEVE A LOT OF THE PRESSURE OFF OF THE GENERAL FUND AND GENERAL BUDGET. JUST A REMINDER THAT THE FIRE ASSESSMENT FEE IS NOT FOR EMS. IT IS STRICT TALLY FOR FIRE. 
          THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. >> GREAT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC? DO I HAVE A MOTION? . 
          >> MOTION TO APPROVE, NOT WITHSTANDING BOB'S VERY STRONG 
          ADVOCACY. >> SECOND. 
          >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ROLL CALL? 
          >> COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN. >> YES. 
          >> COMMISSIONER MURPHY SALOMONE? >> YES COMMISSIONER BRIER? 
          >> YES. >> VICE MAYOR ISROW? 
          >> YES. >> MAYOR WALKER? 
          >> YES, PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES U MANINOUSLY. AGENDA ITEM 10A 
          [01:05:01]
WHICH IS SOLID WASTE ASSESSMENT. ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTION? ANYONE 
          FROM THE PUBLIC? ANYONE? MOTION? >> MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. 
          >> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE, GOING TO RUN THE GAMUT, VICE MAYOR ISROW AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MURPHY SALOMONE. 
          ROLL CALL? >> COMMISSIONER BRIER? 
          >> YES. >> COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN? 
          >> YES. >> COMMISSIONER MURPHY SALOMONE? 
          >> YES. >> VICE MAYOR ISROW? 
          >> YES. >> MAYOR WALKER. 
          >> YES. PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM 10D STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT. ONE COMMENT I WANT TO MAKE SO IT IS CLEAR TO THE RESIDENTS, THIS IS FOR NOT ONLY THE MAINTENANCE THAT WE ARE DOING, BUT IT IS ALSO FOR FUTURE PROJECTS. SO WE DID A STORM WATER ASSESSMENT STUDY A FEW YEARS AGO AND IT BROUGHT FORTH SOME PROJECTS THAT WE COULD DO OR SHOULD DEE. SO THIS ALSO HELPS ADD TO THOSE FINANCES SO THAT IN THE FUTURE, WHEN WE BUILD UP THOSE FUNDS, WE CAN DO THOSE PROJECTS WITHOUT RAISING OUR MILLAGE RATE, WITHOUT DOING DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          IT IS SOMETHING ELSE WE DID AS A CITY TO TRY TO MAKE THE COSTS A LITTLE EASIER ON OUR RESIDENTS. AGAIN, MAINTENANCE AND FUTURE PROJECTS. THIS TO ME IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY AND HELPS KEEP THE MILLAGE RATE DOWN. 
          ANYONE ON THE PUBLIC WISH TOSPEAK ON THIS ONE? DO I HAVE A MOTION? COMMISSIONER, VICE MAYOR? 
          >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. 
          >> SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN AND A SECOND BY VASE MAYOR ISROW. ROLL CALL? 
          >> COMMISSIONER SALOMONE? YES COMMISSIONER BRIER? 
          >> YES. >> COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN? 
          >> YES. >> VICE MAYOR ISROW? 
          >> YES. >> MAYOR WALKER? 
          >> YES. PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. 
          >> WE ARE NOW ON ITEM 10A, RES BUGZ 2025-042 REGARDING REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE SERVICES, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, IMPROVING THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE'S RANKING AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING DIRECTOR TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT WITH THE RESPONSIBLE PROPOSER DETERMINED TO BE THE MOST QUALIFIED TO THE CITY, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE EVALUATION FACTORS SET FORTH IN THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL, JONES LANG LASALLE AMERICAS INC. FOR REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE SERVES, PROVIDING FOR EXECUTION AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 
          GREAT. >> GREAT. 
          >> DO WE HAVE ANYONE? >> I WILL. AS I HAD EXPLAINED EARLIER, WE HAD SIX PROPOSALS RECEIVED. THE COMMITTEE MET AND THEY INVITED FIVE OF THE SIX PROPOSERS BACK FOR INTERVIEWS. 
          DURING THE INTERVIEW PROCESS, THERE WAS ONE PROPOSER THAT STOOD OUT AND REALLY STOOD THE NEEDS OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND. 
          AND THAT IS J.L.L. SO STAFF WOULD LIKE THE COMMISSION TO CONSIDER RECOMMENDING THE ABILITY FOR US TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT WITH J.L.L. FOR BROKER SERVES. 
          >> WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BROKER SERVICES, I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY AND PUT A LITTLE MORE OUT THERE, WHAT THIS IS. SO THIS COMPANY WILL HELP US REALIZE OUR CONCEPT NOW WITH THE VILLAGE TO DIFFERENT DEVELOPERS, HOPEFULLY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THEY WILL ALSO HELP US ATTAIN WHICH IS THE BEST WAY FOR US TO MANAGE THE PROPERTY, WHETHER WE SELL IT ALL, LEASE IT, SELL SOME. THEY WILL HELP WITH ALL OF THOSE INTRICACIES IN THE PROPERTY TODEVELOPER STAGE. AM I UNDERSTANDING THAT CORRECTSLY? 
          >> THEY WILL HELP US WITH EVERYTHING. THEY ARE A WELL DIVERSED COMPANY. WE NEED A LOT OF EXPERTIZE IN FUNDING, COMING UP WITH THE RIGHT DEVELOPER TO-DO THE RIGHT JOB FOR THE CITY OF PARKLAND. THAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS, FINDING THAT DEVELOPER. THEY DO HAVE THOSE RESOURCES. 
          >> SO JUST TO COMMENT, THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROCESS, A VERY IMPORTANT STEP. OBVIOUSLY, BEING A SMALLER CITY, WE DON'T HAVE STAFF WITH KNOWLEDGE IN EVERY FACET OF PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT, 
          [01:10:02]
YOU KNOW, FINDING RETAILERS , THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. ONE OF MY CONCERNS IN GOING IN THIS ROUTE WHICH I THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT ROUTE WE TOOK, I WAS CONCERNED OR WORRIED THAT WE FOUND THE RIGHT PARTNER TO HELP US MAKE SURE OUR VISION GETS PORTRAYED TO THE RIGHT DEVELOPER WHO WILL BE ABLE TO BRING THAT TO LIFE. I WILL CERTAINLY SAY, IN MY INDUSTRY, DEALING WITH A LOT OF MALLS AND STRIP CENTERS AND DIFFERENT TYPES OF FACILITIES, LANG LASALLE, I HEAR ALL THE TIME IT'S AN AMAZING COMPANY TO WORK WITH. SO I'M VERY EXCITED TO GET TO WORK WITH THEM TO SEE WHAT T THE NEXT STEPS WILL GIVE US. YPG THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR ME FOR THIS PROJECT AT THIS JUNCTURE, EVERYTHING WE HAVE SET OUT TO DO FROM THE BEGINNING, FROM THE PURCHASE, SELLING A PORTION OF THE TOLL, BRINGING IN LIFETIME HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE, TOTAL SUCCESS. AND NOW MAKING SURE WE FIND THE RIGHT DEVELOPER IS CRUCIAL. THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT. YES, IT WOULD BE GREAT TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY AND DO ALL THESE THINGS BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR ME IS MAKING SURE WE HAVE THE BEST PROJECT FOR THE CITY. WHAT THAT ULTIMATELY LOOKS LIKE IS VERY IMPORTANT. FINDING THAT DEVELOPER THAT CAN BRING THAT CONCEPT TO LIFE IS CRUCIAL. I'M CONFIDENT THAT JLL FANTASTIC PARTNER. SO KUDOS TO YOUR TEAM FOR COMING UP WITH THE RIGHT COMPANY AND I'M VERY EXCITED. IF NOBODY HAS ANY OTHER 
          COMMENTS. >> YOU WILL NEED TO NEGOTIATE A 
          CONTRACT. >> YES. WELL, RIGHT.

GENERALLY, WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR CONSIDERATION IS THE APPROVAL OF THE TEMPORARY MODEL ROW INCLUDING THE SALES TRAILER AND ASSOCIATED PARKING AS WELL AS FOUR MODEL HOMES. THE TEMPORARY SIGNAGE THAT WOULD BE LOCATED AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THROUGHOUT THE 
          [01:15:01]
COMMUNITY, PROVIDING WAY FINDING BACK TO THE SALES CENTER AS WELL AS PROMOTING THE AMENITIES AND LIFE STYLES TO BE PROMOTED BY THE DEVELOPER AS WELL AS CHANGES BY THE PLAN FOR THE PENDING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT WERE STILL OUTSTANDING AS WELL AS ALL OF THE MODEL HOME DESIGN OPTIONS INCLUDING MODEL HOMES FOR THE 53 AND 63 FOOT PRODUCT, EACH OF THOSE MODEL HOMES INCLUDES A VARIETY OF ELEVATION AND COLOR PALLET OPTIONS TO MEET THE ANTIMONOTONY STANDARDS. AND THE ABANDONMENT APPLICATION IS A CLEANUP ITEM TO ADDRESS FOUR SPECIFIC LOTS THAT ENDED UP BEING SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THE MINIMUM LOT SIZES THAT WERE APPROVED AS PART OF THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN APPROVAL. THEY WILL BE AMENDING SOME OF THE PLAT RESTRICTION LANGUAGE TO BASICALLY ENLARGE THOSE LOTS FROM ONE SQUARE FOOT TO 32 SQUARE FEET PRIOR TO ISSUING PERMITS FOR THE LOTS SO THEY COME INTO COMPLIANCE. WITH THAT, I WILL TURN TO THE APPLICANT TO MAKE A PRESENTATION AND TRY TO BE HELPFUL AND FIND YOUR 
          PRESENTATION FOR YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS DENNIS MEALY, ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. I HAVE SOME SLOYDS TO SHOW BUT BEFORE I START, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT TONIGHT THAN WHAT WE GENERALLY SEE BECAUSE THIS IS A PROJECT WRATHE SITE PLAN AND PLAN AND ALL OF THE THINGS WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED. 
          IF YOU GO TO THE PROPERTY TODAY, YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF ACTIVITY, ROADS BEING PAVED, WATER AND SEWER LINES PUT IN, PROPERTY IS GRATED. WHAT WE CAN'T DO IS BUILD ANY HOUSES UNTIL THEY ARE APPROVED HERE. SO GO THROUGH THAT NOW. 
          >> MAY I ASK IF YOU WAIVE QUASI? >> YES, I DO. THANK YOU. 
          >> HERE'S THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED . YOU CAN SEE THE MODEL ROW THAT WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE. THERE'S TWO CATEGORIES OF LOTS. YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT COLORIN, THE 63 BY 130 AND THE 53 BY 120S. AND WHAT WE HAVE TONIGHT IS WE HAVE THE MODELS FOR EACH OF THE LOT CHARACTERISTICS. WE HAVE OPTIONS AND 16 ELEVATIONS OF EACH. WE HAVE THE MODEL ROW WHICH IS FOUR LOTS AND WE HAVE THE SALES TRAILER AND THEN WE WILL GET INTO THAT SHORTAGE LOT THING AT THE END THAT IS UNUSUAL. SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME ON THAT. WE DID GET COMMENTS FROM STAFF. WE ALSO GOT COMMENTS FROM ENGINEERS, AND ARCHITECTS. WE HAVE COMPLIED WITH ALL OF THE COMMENTS. EVERYTHING THEY ASKED US TO CHANGE, WE CHANGED. AND WE WILL SHOW YOU WHAT WE HAVE NOW. I WILL GO THROUGH THE MODELS QUICKLY. IF YOU WANT ME TO STOP OR SPEED IT UP, TELL ME. I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM DOING THAT. SO THIS IS THE FIRST 53 FOOT WIDE MODEL. THIS AGAIN, IF YOU WANT ME TO SLOW DOWN OR GO BACK I WILL. AND THE THIRD ONE, AND THE FOURTH ONE. AND THEN THESE ARE THE COLOR AND MATERIAL SELECTIONS. WE HAVE A LOT MORE THAN THE ONES HERE BUT THIS IS SHOWING YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT THE ANTIMONOTONY PROVISIONS OF THE CODE, YOU CAN'T HAVE THE SAME MODEL NEXT TO EACH OTHER ACROSS THE STREET, WE ARE SHOWING YOU HOW THIS WILL WORK AND WE WILL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS. AND ALL OF THE UNITS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. IF YOU NOTICE THE UPPER RIGHT-HAND ONE, THAT WAS COLOR SCHEME 4. WE CHANGED THAT BASED ON YOUR ARCHITECT'S SUGGESTION. WE HAD SOMETHING MORE YELLOW OR ORANGE. AND I THINK WHAT HE CAME UP WITH IS BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAD. FOR THE ANTI-MONOTONY, IT IS NOT ONLY THE ELEVATIONS THAT HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT BUT YOU HAVE A REQUIREMENT FOR ANTI-MONOTONY THAT THE LANDSCAPE PLANS HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT. A LUT OF CITIES DON'T DO THAT. IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. WE WERE ABLE TO COMPLY WITH THAT. GIVING YOU AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE LOTS AND PROGRAMS. SAME THIPG. THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS FOR THIS MODEL. THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT LANDSCAPE PACKAGES FOR THIS MODEL. SAME IS TRUE FOR ALL OF THE OTHERS AS WELL. AGAIN, THERE ARE FOUR OF THESE. THIS IS THE FIRST ONE. SECOND ONE IS NIAGARA. THE THIRD ONE IS RUBY, FOURTH IS SILVER STONE AND THE SAME THING WE SHOWED FOR THE 53 AND THE 63, HOW THE ANTIMONOTONY 
          [01:20:04]
THING WILL WORK. COLOR SCHEME NUMBER FOUR ON THE UPPER LEFT, THAT'S WHAT WE CHANGED AT YOUR ARCHITECTURE'S SUGGESTION AND AGAIN WOE THINK SUGGESTION WAS BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAD. SAME FOR LANDSCAPE TO COMPLY BEWITH ANTIMONOTONY. THESE ARE THE COLORS USED. COLOR SCHEME FOUR WAS MODIFIED. EVERYTHING FROM WINDOWS TO LIGHT FIXTURES, BASE COLORS, ROOF TILES, STONE, EVERYTHING IS SHOWN. AND THE MODEL ROW IS FOUR LOTS. YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE OF OUR EIGHT MODELS, WE HAVE FOUR OF THEM, EACH A DIFFERENT COLOR PROGRAM, DIFFERENT COLOR SCHEME AND DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURE. THE MODEL ROW IS LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SITE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE SIX LOTS SHOWN ON THE LEFT, THE NORTHERN LOT, NUMBER 94 WILL BE THE PARKING LOT FOR THE SALES TRAILER. NUMBER 95 WILL BE THE SALES TRAILER AND THEN THE OTHER FOUR LOTS ARE THE MODELS WE JUST SHOWED. AND THEN HERE THEY ARE AGAIN FOR THE MODEL ROW. THERE IS SIGNAGE IN FRONT OF EACH MODEL THAT IS TYPICAL THAT WILL GIVE THE NAME OF THE MODEL AND BED AND BATHROOM CONFIGURATION. IT IS HARD FOR ME TO SPEAK ABOUT A SALES TRAILER BUT THERE IT IS. 
          IT IS SHOWING YOU THIS IS THE TEMPORARY SIGNAGE THAT LEADS YOU TO THE SALES CENTER IF YOU ARE COMING HERE TO BUY A HOUSE. OF COURSE ONCE WE SELL THE HOUSES, THE SIGNAGE GOES AWAY AND THE TRAILER GOES AWAY AND THE TEMPORARY PARKING LOT GOES AWAY AS WELL. THESE ARE SOME OF THE OTHER SIGNAGE THAT IS IN FRONT OF THE SALES TRAILER OR LEADING YOU TO IT. THIS IS THE INTERESTING THING. REMEMBER I'M HERE REPRESENTING LAVER WHO HAS PURCHASED THE PROPERTY. THE PLAT WAS RECORDED. BUT AFTER RECORDING, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT TWO OF THE LOTS WERE SHORT BY ONE SQUARE FOOT. ONE OF THE LOTS WAS SHORT BY 32 SQUARE FEET AND ONE WAS SHORT BY 26 SQUARE FEET. LUCKILY, ALL OF THESE, AND THIS IS SHOWING YOU THE RECORDED PLAT BUT LUCKILY, I WILL COME BACK TO THIS, BUT WHEN YOU SEE THIS AS CHARACTERIZED AS A VACATION APPLICATION, THE REASON FOR THAT, WE HAVE TO MODIFY THE DEDICATION LANGUAGE IN THE PLAT FOR THESE FOUR LOTS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THE OPEN FACE TRACTS. THAT LANGUAGE WILL BE MODIFIED. OUR FOLKS AND CITY STAFF MET WITH THE COUNTY STAFF THAT GOVERNS THESE PLATS TO MAKE SURE WE WERE DOING IT IN A WAY THAT THE COUNTY FINDS ACCEPTABLE AND WE ARE. THESE ARE THE FOUR LOTS. YOU SEE WHERE THEY ARE AT. EACH WUP OF THEM IS NEXT TO A COMMON AREA THAT WOULD BE AN HOA AREA IN THE FUTURE. JUST LOOKING AT EACH ONE, IT'S FUNNY. THE PLAT SHOWS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE LOT ON IT BUT SOMEHOW, IT WENT THROUGH. THIS WAS ONE SQUARE FOOT SHORT. WHAT WE ARE DOING IS TAKING A LITTLE STRIP ADJACENT TO THE BACK OF THE LOT, THAT'S 0.02 FEET. 
          >> I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU MADE A MISTAKE LIKE THAT. 
          >> THAT'S LIKE AN INCH AND A HALF OR SOMETHING. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE DOING OPTHAT ONE. THIS ONE IS ALSO ONE SQUARE FOOT. 
          THIS IS 0.01 SQUARE FEET. IT IS HALF AS BIG AS THE OTHER. THIS ONE IS 32 SQUARE FEET SHORT. WE WILL ADD A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN 6 INCHES TO THE BACK. THEN FINALLY THE LAST ONE. THIS ONE I KNOW IS 0 .5. SO THAT MEANS IT IS 6 INCHES. I CAN MEASURE THAT MYSELF. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE DOING ON THE FOUR LOTS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS THE PROPER SIZE. THE GOOD NEWS IS BY DOING THIS, WE ARE NOT LOWERING THE PERCENTAGE OF OPEN SPACE OR THE ACREAGE OF OPEN SPACE. WE ARE TALKING UBTT A TOTAL OF ALL FOUR LOTS OF 60 SQUARE FEET, IT IS EXTREMELY SMALL. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS WE WILL MAKE IT COMPLY, THEY WILL ALL WORK PROPERLY. THE PEOPLE WHO BY THOSE LOTS WILL HAVE THE EXTRA 6 INCHES OR TWO INCHES OR WHATEVER IT IS. I THINK THAT'S IT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER. 
          >> I LIKE THE MODELS. I THINK THEY LOOK GOOD. I DON'T TYPICALLY GO TO ADVISORY BOARD MEETINGS. BUT I WAS AT THIS ONE. 
          SO THIS IS MY SECOND TIME SEEING THIS PREPATION. 
          >> AND WE WERE APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. 
          [01:25:02]
          >> EXCEPT T FOR THE YELLOW COLOR. 
          >> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WANT TO TALK ON THIS ONE? ANY 
          COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? >> I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT CONCEPT IN TERMS OF PLAN , DESIGN ALL THAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU SELL HOUSES WITHOUT A MODEL ROW SO I THINK THAT IS A FAIR ASK. I THINK THE INCREASE TO THE EXTRA SPACE OF THE 65 ACRES, I THINK WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THAT SO MOTION TO 
          APPROVE. >> I HAVE SOME COMMENTS AND SOME QUESTIONS. MY FIRST QUESTION IS ARE THE HOD MODEL ROW HOMES, ARE ALL THOSE THE MODELS FOR THE 53 FOOT LOTS? . 
          >> FIRST, I SHOULD SAY THAT ALL FOUR OF THE MODEL LOTS ARE THE 63 FOOT WIDES. TWO OF THE MODELS ARE 53 AND TWO ARE 63. 
          >> I HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PROJECT FROM THE OUTSET BECAUSE OF THE DENSITY AND I KNOW THAT WAS BEFORE YOUR TENURE. BUT I HAVE TWO ISSUES HERE. THE FIRST IS THAT THE MAJORITY OF HOMES ARE ON THE SMALLER LOTS. IT SEEMS THAT ALL OF THOSE ARE PROPOSED TO BE PRETTY LARGE, TWO STORY HOMES. I HAVE CONCERNS THAT A LACK OF ONE STORY MODELS ON THOSE LOTS IS ONLY GOING TO EXACERBATE THE ASTHETICS OF MAKING IT FEEL THIS IS A VERY TIGHTLY BUILT OR SQUEEZED IN COMMUNITY. I'M NOT SURE IT IS JUST THE DRAWING BUT THE DRAWING MAKES THE HOME LOOK EXTREMELY COMPACTED AND TIGHT INCLUDING THE DRIVEWAYS FOR THREE CAR GARAGES. I'M WORRIED THAT THAT ISSUE IS ONLY GOING TO MAKE IT WORSE. IS THERE A POSSIBILITY TO PUT IN ONE STORY HOMES ON THE 
          SMALLER LOTS? >> WE DON'T THIPG IT IS ADVISABLE. WE DID DO A ONE STORY MODEL FOR THE LARGER LOTS BECAUSE YOU CAN GET A GOOD HOME ON IT. A ONE STORY HOME ON THE SMALLER LOTS IS A PRETTY SMALL HOME THAT WE DON'T THINK MEETS PARKLAND STANDARDS IN TERMS OF OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS AND SIZES OF HOMES AND VALUE OF HOMES. I DO KNOW WHEN WE STARTED THE ISCUSSION, PART OF THE DISCUSSION FOR ONE STORY UNITS WAS FOR DRAINAGE CONCERN. IF YOU SEE WHAT KEITH AND ASSOCIATES RECOMMENDED IN TERMS OF GUTTERS CONNECTED UNDERGROUND AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE GRAINAGE PROBLEMS, WE HAVE REALLY TAKEN CARE OF THAT AND WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEARN, AS THE CITY HAS LEARNED AND AS WE DEVELOP OTHER AREAS THAT WE NEEDED TO DO MORE DRAINAGE THERE THAN OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY BECAUSE THIS IS AN AREA THAT IS ALMOST LIKE IT IS RECLAIMED FROM THE EVER GLADES WITH THE VACANT PROPERTIES AND CONSERVATION PROPERTIES NEARBY. WE DID ADDRESS THE DRAINAGE PROBLEM. AND WE HAD A BOARD MEMBER WHO LIVED IN ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THEY HAD TO RETROFIT THE DRAINAGE CORRECTION. WE ARE DOING IT FROM THE BEGINNING THIS TIME SO THERE WON'T BE A NEED TO RETROFIT. I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN. I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE CAME TO THIS PROPERTY WITH A SITE PLAN ALREADY APPROVED. W ARE COMPLYING WITH EVERY ONE OF THEM. THE ONLY ISSUE WAS THE ONE SQUARE FOOT AND THE 32. AND WE HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THAT. WE HAVE COMPLIED IN EVERY RESPECT WITH WHAT THE CITY PREVIOUSLY APPROVED TO THE PROPERTY. I HOPE YOU WILL BE AMENABLE TO APPROVING THIS THIS EVENING. 
          >> I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE 53 FOOT LOTS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF ONE STORY HOUSES. BUT THE MONOTONY OF HAVING ALL TWO STORY HOMES IN THE VAST MAJORITY OF THIS PROJECT INCLUDING ALL OF THE 53 FOOT LOTS TO ME IS CONCERNING.I UNDERSTAND THEY ARE ADDRESSING THAT BUT HOPEFULLY THAT IS ADDRESSED. I JUST VOW THAT THE NAOF HAVING LARGE TWO STORY HOMES, SOME WITH LARGE THREE CAR GARAGES RATHER THAN ONE STORIES MIXED IN ON THE 53 FOOT LAW WILL MAKE AN ALREADY IN MY OPINION A TIGHT COMMUNITY LOOK EVEN TIGHTER. I HAVE THAT CONCERN. MY SECOND CONCERN IS WHILE IT MAY SEEM LIKE A TRIVIAL AMOUNT BECAUSE OF THE CONCERNS WE HAD ABOUT THE DENSITY HERE AND 
          [01:30:03]
EVERYTHING ELSE, REMOVING EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF SPACE FROM THE COMMON AREAS AND GREEN SPACE AND DEDICATING THAT TO SEVERAL LOTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, AGAIN TO ME IS SQUEEZING IN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT AND REDUCING THE COMMON AREA SPACE. IT MAY BE A SMALL AMOUNT BUT IN MY OPINION IT WAS ALREADY OVERLY DENSE. IN MY OPINION, THIS WOULD MAKE IT WORSE. I HAVE CONCERNS FROM THE PROPOSAL AND MODIFIED SITE PLAN FOR THAT REASON. 
          >> IN TWO SITUATIONS, ONE SQUARE FEET. 
          >> I UNDERSTAND BUT IN THE OTHER TWO SITUATIONS THEY ARE LARGER. 
          RATHER THAN REDUCING SIZES OF HOUSES OR EXPANDING A LOT SIZE HERE OR THERE, WE ARE TAKING AWAY FROM AN ALREADY FIVE POUNDS OR TEN POUNDS OF BALONEY INTO FIVE POUND BAGS AND MY WORRY IS IT WILL EXACERBATE. AND MY BIGGER ISSUE IS THE FIRST ISSUE. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE BUT OUT OF THE TOTAL, AND I CAN ADD THEM UP BUT OUT OF THE TOTAL LOTS, THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY, INCLUDING EVERY ONE OF THE 53 FOOT LOTS ARE GOING TO BE LARGE, TWO STORY HOUSES WITH NO ONE STORIES MIXED IN, WHETHER THAT AFFECTS THE DRAINAGE ISSUE, WHETHER IT AFFECTS THE STATIC ISSUE, CERTAINLY WILL AFFECT THE APPEARANCE AND EVEN THE DRAWINGS THEMSELVES MAKE THE PROPERTIES SEEM VERY SQUISHED IN IS THE BEST WORD I CAN SAY, COMPACTED, WHATEVER THE VERBIAGE IS. 
          THAT'S MY OPINION. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A SMALL AMOUNT. BUT THE FIRST ISSUE IS THE BIGGEST AND I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE 
          APPLICATION TONIGHT. . >> SO, LET ME JUST SPEAK. YOU MENTIONED THIS WAS A SECONDARY ISSUE OPPOSED TO THE PRIMARY ONE. WHEN I SAW THE LOTS WERE SHORT, I SAID THIS IS A RECORDED PLAT AND WE ARE ALLOWED TO RELY ON THAT. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE IT. BUT KAITLYN CONVINCED ME AND WE DID IT. BUT WE DON'T WANT TO BE PENALIZED FOR SOMETHING THAT WE COULD HAVE STOOD FIRM AND SAID THIS IS A RECORDED PLAT. I FEEL LIKE WE ARE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND TO ADD THE SQUARE FOOT BECAUSE WE WANT TO COOPERATE. I KNOW THAT WAS THE SECONDARY ISSUE. THE ONLY THING I CAN TELL YOU IS WE COME TO THE PROPERTY WITH APPROVALS IN MACE AND NOW WE HAVE TO DO THE MODEL ROW AND THE HOMES. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CODE THAT YOU HAVE TO DO A CERTAIN MIX OF ONE BEDROOM. PERHAPS YOU COULD BUT IT'S NOT THERE. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECENT DEVELOPMENT WHERE YOU ASKED FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF ONE BEDROOMS BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WAS A DEVELOPMENT WHERE YOU WERE SELLING THE PROPERTY T TO SOMEONE WHICH PUTS YOU IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION THAN THIS WHERE YOU ARE REGULATING THE PROPERTY AS OPPOSED TO SELLING IT I WAS IN PEM BROOK PINES WHICH SAYS THEY WILL ENTER INTO IT BEYOND AND THEY COULD HAVE AN AGREEMENT. WE DON'T HAVE ONE STORY HOMES IN THE 53S. OUR SMALLEST HOME IN THE 53S IS 3200 SQUARE FEET. WE WOULD HATE TO -- I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT WOULD REDUCE IT TO MAKE IT ONE STORY BUT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE FITTING HERE IN PARKLAND TO HAVE A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE THAT SMALL. COULD YOU GUESS? PROBABLY UNDER 3,000 SQUARE FEET. 
          >> LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIND OUT. IT WOULD BE 1800 TO 1900. 
          >> WE CAN'T HAVE THAT. >> THIS IS FROM THE MODEL 
          EXPERT. >> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IF IT WAS MAINTAINING THE SAME FOOT PRINT ON THE SAME LOT? 
          >> THEY ARE SAYING, COMMISSIONER BRIER, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T HEAR WHAT THEY SAID, THEY ARE SAYING IF WE WENT TO ONE STORY HOME ON THE 53 FOOT LOT, IT WOULD BE LESS THAN 2,000 SQUARE FEET UNDER AIR. TO ME RGS THAT'S NOT EVEN -- YOU WON'T BOW ABLE TO 
          SELL THOSE. >> IT WOULD BE THE SAME LOTS IN 
          THE SAME SETBACKS. >> WELL, THAT'S THE PROBLEM. 
          YOU HAVE TO MEET THE SETBACKS. A 2,000 SQUARE FOOT HOME IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND GOES OVER VERY WELL. THAT'S MY TWO CENTS. 
          >> I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT BUT IT IS ALSO THE LAYOUT BASED ON WHAT HAS BEEN DONE PREVIOUSLY WHICH OBVIOUSLY I HAD AN ISSUE 
          [01:35:06]
          PREVIOUSLY. >> BUT IT HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED. I GET YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT IT HAS BEEN BUT IT HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION. SO WE ARE WHERE WE ARE. SO TO TRY TO GO BACKWARDS AND TRY TO FORCE LENOIR TO DO A 2,000 SQUARE FOOT HOME IN PARKLAND IS NOT EVEN 
          NEGOTIABLE. >> IF I MAY, MR. MAYOR, TWO POINTS, STARTING WITH COMMISSIONER BRIER'S SECOND POINT FOR THE LOT SIZE ADJUSTMENT, WHAT I WOULD CATEGORIZE AS A CLEANUP ITEM. THERE WAS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE PLAT TO BE ADJUSTED TO MATCH THE APPROVED SITE PLAN AS PART OF THE ORIGINAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. THAT PLAT WAS RECORDED WITHOUT THOSE FOUR LOTS BEING INCREASED IN SIZE. THIS IS A PROCESS THAT BRINGS THOSE LOTS INTO CONFORMANCE WITH THE APPROVED SITE PLAN CONDITIONS. AS MR. MEALY INDICATED, IT IS PROBABLY SOMETHING THEY WOULD HAVE PREFERRED NOT TO DO BUT TO BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THAT THE CITY HAD APPROVED, WE ASKED THE CITY TO INCREASE WHAT THE CITY APPROVED WHICH IS A LOT SIZE OF 6360 SQUARE FEET. SO THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE DOING BYADDRESSING THE RESTRICTIVE LANGUAGE IN THE PLAT. ONE THIPG TO KEEP IN MIND, THERE ARE MINIMUM SETBACKS AND MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE AS WELL AS LANDSCAPE COVERAGES THAT HAVE TO BE MET ON THESE LOTS. THAT WOULD FURTHER RESTRICT ANY ONE STORY MODELS AND THE MAXIMUM SIZE THAT COULD BE ACHIEVED ON THE SMALLER LOTS IF YOU DROPPED IT TO A ONE STORY. 
          >> AND IS THAT ESTIMATE OF WHAT THE ONE STORY HOME WOULD BE ON A 53 FOOT LOT? I IMAGINE WE HAVE OTHER COMMUNITIES WITH SIMILAR LOT SIZES WITH ONE STORY HOMES ON THEM IN PARKLAND. BUT DO YOU KNOW THAT IT WOULD BE UNDER 2,000 SQUARE FEET? MY PATH ISN'T GOING TO BE THAT GREAT ON THE SPOT BUT THE MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE I BELIEVE IS 42% FOR THE 53 FOOT LOT. SO IF YOU DO 42% OF 53, YOU HAVE TO FACTOR IN OTHER THINGS LIKE THE SETBACKS AND MINIMUM LANDSCAPE AND THINGS LIKE THAT ON THE PROPERTY THAT MAY FURTHER REDUCE YOU BUT THAT WOULD BE THE QUICK MATH BASED ON 
          LAW COVERAGE. >> I HAVE 43? 
          >> I BELIEVE IT WAS 42. >> IT WOULD BE 42% PLUS. 
          >> WHICH IS 2671. BUT WITH THE SETBACKS, IT WOULD B LESS. 
          >> EVEN 2600 FEET TO ME IS. WOE HAVE 2600 SQUARE FEET HOMES IN 
          PLENTY -- >>>> WHAT IS THE LARGEST SQUARE FOOTAGE HOUSE HERE? THE LARGEST IS 4339. 
          >> YOU CAN HAVE A 4300 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE NEXT TO A 2600 SQUARE 
          FOOT HOUSE. >> AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE THAT HOUSE THAT MEETS THAT EXACTLY. IT WOULD BE A BIG SQUARE WITH NO 
          ARCHITECTURAL RELIEF. >> KAITLYN SAID 42% BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE LANDSCAPING AND SETBACKS. IN A NEW COMMUNITY TO HAVE A RANGE FROM 4600 OR 4200 SQUARE FEET TO 2600, THAT WOULD BE A LARGER -- IT PROBABLY WOULD BE LESS THAN 2600 BECAUSE IT WOULD BE PLUS SETBACKS AND WHAT HAVE YOU. DOES 
          ANYONE HAVE A MOTION? >> WE HAVE LOT ADJUSTMENTS TOO COMING FORWARD. TO ME IT SEEMS IT WILL BE OVERLY TIGHT. 
          >> I DID NEGLECT TO HEAR A MOTION BY VICE MAYOR ISROW FOR 
          APPROVAL? >>URAL RENEW. MOTION TO APPROVE. 
          >> SECOND. >> ROLL CALL?

          AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, OUR PINE TRAILS PARK FRONT PLAYGROUND WAS REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO AS WELL AS WARREN PLACE. AT THAT TIME WE ONLY REDID THE FRONT PORTION BECAUSE THE BACK PORTION WAS NEWER. AT THAT TIME, THE CONDITIONS WERE IN TACT. BUT AS TIME HAS MOVED ON, THEY HAVE STARTED TO DETERIORATE AND AT A MORE RAPID PACE THAN WE EXPECTED. I'M HERE TONIGHT AS WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PURCHASING REPLACEMENT PIECES FOR THE BACK PORTION OF PINE TRAILS PARK PLAYGROUND AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          >> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? THE QUESTION I HAVE, THIS IS KIND OF A SPINE OF THE PARKS, MEANING THAT BECAUSE WE WANT TO USE THE SAME DEVELOPER, THIS IS AN INTEGRAL PIECE, WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN EITHER RE REPAIR THIS PORTION OR START 
          FROM SCRATCH? >> I THINK THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REPAIR AND THEY CAN'T REPAIR ANYMORE I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF THOUGHT THIS IS A BIG PRICE TAG BUT IT IS INTEGRAL. WE CAN'T AVOID IT. AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. 
          >> THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS ARE WE REPLACING IT IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE MIGHT GET LONGERER LIFE OUT OF IT THAN THE FIRST 
          TIME? >> WE ARE REPLACING THE COMPONENT PIECES. WE DO BELIEVE THAT NOT NECESSARILY LONGER LIFETIME BUT IT SHOULD KEEP US TO THE BACK STANDARD PLAYGROUND

BY VIRTUE OF THE WIDE BREADTH OF POTENTIAL PRODUCTS SOMEONE COULD BUY AND THE POTENTIAL OF MISUSE, WE COULD HAVE AN INTERNAL PROCESS, I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR AMAZON AND THE LOWE'S ACCOUNT WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE PASSWORDS AND ALL OF THOSE THIPGS MORE FOR MITIGATION RISK ET CETERA.

CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND FLORIDA, AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATION OF 34 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED ON THE FORMER HERON BAY GOLF COURSE, AND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A, APPROXIMATELY 25.32 ACRES AND CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS, APPROXIMATELY 8.68 ACRES TO CITY OF PARKLAND COMMERCIAL, PROVIDING FOR TRANSMITTAL OF A CORRESPONDING LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE BROWARD COUNTY LAND USE MAP, PROVIDING FOR RECERTIFICATION, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND 
          EFFECTIVE DATE. >> THANK YOU. KAITLYN FORBES WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR THE RECORD. I WILL MAKE A BRIEF PRESENTATION TONIGHT BECAUSE THIS IS FIRST READING AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF THERE ARE ANY. THIS IS AN EXCITING STEP. WE HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF GREAT STEPS IN THIS PROJECT FOR THE VILLAGE AND THE PARK PROCESS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT HERE. THIS IS PROBABLY ONE THAT WILL LARGELY ONE MORE SO BEHIND THE SCENES AFTER THIS PROCESS. IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE BREAK, GO TO THE COUNTY FOR APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE MAP AND THEN WILL BE COMING BACK TO THE CITY COMMISSION. YOU WILL SEE IT TONIGHT ON FIRST READING AND PROBABLY CLOSER TO THE END OF THE YOUR, WE WOULD COME BACK FOR SECOND READING. GENERALLY, THE CONSIDERATION IS THE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT TO AMEND THE DESIGNATION OF 34 ACRES WHICH COMPRISES THE TOTALITY OF THE VILLAGE AND PARK PROJECT WHICH INCLUDES THE 25 ACRES THAT WAS ORIGINALLY IN THE CITY AS WELL AS THE APPROXIMATELY 8.5 ACRES IN THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS. WE DID HAVE AN INITIAL FIRST READING ON THIS ITEM. YOU MAY REMEMBER US DISCUSSING ON THE ORIGINAL 25 ACRES , SOMETIMES LAST YEAR. THEN THROUGH THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS, WE WENT THE ROUTE OF ANNEXATION FOR THE ADDITIONAL 8.5 ACRES WHICH CLEANS THIS UP IN TERMS OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS AND ADMINISTRATION OF ZONING ORDINANCE. TOKEEP IT CLEAN, WE BROUGHT BACK THE ACRES TO REDO THE READING FOR THE FULL 34 ACRES TONIGHT. THE SITE FOR ANYONE WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR IS LOCATED ON THE FORMER HERON BAY GOLF COURSE. THE PROJECT THAT WAS APPROVED LAST YEAR NOW IS JUST TO THE NORTH AS WELL AS SOME EXISTING COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE SPACE TO THE SOUTH ON THE CORAL SPRINGS SIDE. THE N.I.S.D. 
          SIDE, THE PRESERVE PARK WHICH WILL PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF WALKING AND MULTIYOUZ TRAILS WOULD BE LOCATED TO THE WEST OF 
          [01:55:05]
THIS. HERE'S AN AERIAL OF THE PROJECT. THIS IS A FORMER HERON BAY GOLF COURSE. WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF SITE DESIGN AND CONCEPTUAL PLAN, NOT ONLY WITH THE COMMISSION BUT THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS AND THROUGH VARIOUS PUBLIC OUT REACH AND ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS. THE SITE HISTORY FOR THE PROJECT DATES BACK TO THE 1990S WHEN IT WAS FIRST DEVELOPED AS A GOLF COURSE AND LATER CLOSED IN 2019, WAS PURCHASED AND HERE IS THEEXIST ING CITY FUTURE LAND USE MAP. YOU CAN SEE THE DESIGNATION THERE. WHAT THIS MEANS WITH THE CURRENT DESIGNATION, A DEPPER COULD POTENTIALLY ACHIEVE UP TO 75 UNITS ON THIS PROPERTY AT 3 UNITS AN ACRE. THE CORAL SPRINGS MAP ALSO IN A BRIGHT YELLOW. YOU COULD OBTAIN APPROXIMATELY 69 UNITS AT THE CURRENT DENSITY. 
          THIS IS WHAT THE MAP WOULD MCLOOK LIKE BRINGING IT TO A DESIGNATION OF COMMERCIAL. WE WILL BE SEEKING A DESIGNATION MAKING THE LOCAL MAP AND COUNTY MAP CORRESPONDING YOU CAN SEE THE VILLAGE AND PARK PROJECT WILL BE AN EXPANSION OF THE EXISTING CORDOOR TO THE SOUTH IN THE CORAL SPRINGS JURISDICTION. 
          AS I MENTIONED, THERE IS THE MARUATE HOTEL, OFFICE SPACE AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT RETAIL AS YOU HEAD FURTHER SOUTH ALONG THE ROAD WAY. THIS IS THE CONCEPTIAL MASTER PLAN ADOPTED AS PART OF THE CONCEPTIAL ENVISIONING PROCESS THAT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS WITH THE HELP OF THE 505 AND COOPER CARRIE TEAM. THIS PLAN WAS LARGELY EMBRACED AND HAS BEEN A LARGE DRIVER IN ALL OF OUR PROCESSES GOING FORWARD IN TERMS OF THE NEXT STEPS AND ENTITLEMENT ROUTES TO REALIZE THE VISION YOU HAVE BEFORE US ON THE SCREEN HERE. THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN WILL COME THROUGH THE SITE PLANNING PROCESS, COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD, APPROVAL PROCESS AND MAY NOT LOOK ENTIRELY LIKE THIS BUT THIS IS GENERALLY THE GUIDING PRINCIPAL AND VISION TO FOLLOW. 
          WE HAVE OBTAINED CAPACITY TO SERVE LETTERS WHICH MOANS THE INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDERS UTILITY CAN PROVIDE WATER WASTE FOR THE PROJECT BASED ON THE CHANGE FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL. 
          IMPORTANTLY, THE GOLF COURSE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN OUR CERTIFIED OPEN CALCULATIONS WHICH IS SOMETHING THE COUNTY TRACKS. 
          THERE ARE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AND THE CITY HAS MORE STRICT LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS FOR OUR OPEN SPACE BEYOND WHAT THE COUNTY REQUIRES. WE DO NOT COUNT THE GOLF COURSE AS PART OF OUR MINIMUM OPEN SPACE OR TOWARDS THE OPEN SPACE IN ANY WAY. THERE IS NO IMPACT TO THAT. WE HAVE DONE SOME INITIAL TRAFFIC ANALYSIS THROUGH THE HELP OF TRAFFIC CONSULITANT AND IDENTIFIED THE MITIGATION POTENTIAL OPTIONS AND WILL WORK WITH THE COUNTY ON TRAFFIC MITIGATION AT THE COUNTY LAND USE PROCESS. ONE THING THAT I WANTED TO ADDRESS AS PART OF THE DISCUSSION WITH PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD IS A REMINDER REGARDING THE ZONING REGULATIONS IN THE PARK THAT WERE ADOPTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DESIGN GUIDELINES. THERE ARE ADOPTED SIDE AND REAR SETBACKS TO THE NORTH AND WEST TORESIDENTIAL. 
          WHEN YOU ADD THE WIDTH OF THE CANAL, YOU GET SIGNIFICANT SETBACKS IN TERMS OF DISTANCE SEPARATION FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, PARTICULARLY TO THE NORTH T. TO THE WEST IS THE PRESERVE WHICH YOU WILL HAVE CONNECTIONS WHICH YOU WILL TIE INTO WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WEST THERE. AS A REMINDER, WE HAVE IN THE VILLAGE AND PARK, ZONING ORDINANCE, MINIMUM DISTANCE SEPARATION FOR OUT DOOR USES THAT WOULD REQUIRE SEPARATION FOR OUT DOOR, AMUSEMENT, SIMILAR TYPE USES 
          [02:00:04]
FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AS WELL. I BELIEVE THAT WAS 500 FOOT SEPARATION REQUIREMENT. SO STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION. THIS IS A LEGISLATIVE DECISION. JUST AS A REMINDER, THE RECOMMENDATION TONIGHT WOULD ALSO BE TO AUTHORIZE THE SUBMITTAL, THE CORRESPONDENTING TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE 34 ACRES TO COMMERCE AT THE COUNTY LEVEL. JUST ONE LAST SLIDE HERE IN TERMS OF NEXT STEPS AND PENDING APPLICATIONS, OF COURSE WE HEARD TONIGHT ABOUT THE BROKER RFP SELECTION PROCESS. BY WORKING WITH THE SELECTED BROKER H THE CITY WOULD ESTABLISH A PROCESS TO GO OUT AND SELECT A FUTURE DEVELOPER AS I MENTIONED WILL BE PROCESSING BEHIND THE SCENES NOW AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, ASSUMING WE PASS ON FIRST READING, THE PROCESS AT THE COUNTY AND THEN COMING BACK FOR SECOND READING AND THEN A DEVELOPER MOVING FORWARD WOULD BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A WHOLE HOST OF APPLICATIONS, REQUIRING CITY APPROVAL, INCLUDING SITE PLAN AND COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD APPLICATIONS AT A MINIMUM. 
          WITH THAT, I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          >> GREAT. ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? 
          >> I JUST HAVE A COMMENT THAT IN MY BRIEFING, I WAS PLEASED TO HEAR THAT BASED ON THOSE AFFECTED BY THE TRANSITION OR THE LAND USE FROM R3 TO COMMERCIAL, THAT THEY WILL BE INVOLVED AND THEY WILL BE CONSULTED AND UNDERSTANDING THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH THAT CAN BE DONE BY THIS COMMISSION OR OTHERS BUT THERE WILL BE KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS AND BEING A PART OF THE DISCUSSION AS IT GOES ALONG AND THAT IS IMPORTANT AND GOOD TO HEAR. I WAS GLAD STAFF SHARED THAT DURING THE BRIEFING. MORE OF A COMMENT. THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU. >> COMMENTS? ANYONE FROM THE 
          PUBLIC? COME UP. >> I COMMEND YOUR PATIENCE FOR 
          STAYING HERE. >> PETER HAGUER, 6761 NORTHWEST SEVENTH AVENUE, PARKLAND, IN HERON BAY. I HAVE EXPRESSED MOY OPINION IN THE PAST REGARDING THIS MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN OUR BACK YARD. WHAT I LIKE TO PROPOSE SINCE YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT ZONING AND REZONING A LARGE AREA INTO COMMERCIAL, IF I COULD HAVE POSSIBLY THE MAP BACK THAT YOU HAD TO SHOW WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, I AM ONE OF FIVE HOUSES, HOME OWNERS THAT YOU GO SEE AT THE TOP OF THE MAP THAT ARE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THE ZONING. I WILL PROBABLY STOP FIGHTING. 
          BECAUSE I AM GETTING NOWHERE. BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, RATHER THAN TAKING THE 34 THAT YOU ARE PROPOSING TO REZONE IS TO TAKE 34 ACRES AND ZONE IT COMMERCIAL BUT LEAVE TWO ACRES RESERVE OF THE CANAL AT THE TOP. I FORGET 
          THE NUMBER DASH. >> I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS, PETER BUT WHEN WE MET EARLIER, THIS IS A CONCEPTIAL PIECE. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS. THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEAK. NOW WE HAVE PICKED OUR REALTOR WHO WILL HELP US FIND A DEVELOPER. THE DEVELOPER WILL BE ENGAGED WITH HERON BAY. THEY MAY PUT WALKING SPACE OVER THERE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FINAL PRODUCT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. 
          WE CAN'T HAMPER ANY PROGRESS THAT WE ARE MAKING IN A DEVELOPER. WE NEED TO GIVE HIM A FULL MAP TO WORK WITH. WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS. THEY WILL BE RELAID TO THE DEVELOPER. 
          YOU CAN RELAY THOSE TO THE DEVELOPER BUT WE NEED TO GIVE HIM AN OPEN CANVAS TO WORK WITH. WE HEAR YOUR CONCERNS. AS I SAID 
          [02:05:08]
WHEN I MET WITH YOU. WE DON'T WANT TO DISTURB ANY RESIDENTS TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY BUT WE NODE TO GIVE OUR DEVELOPERER FULL WIDTH TO WORK WITH AND THAT'S OUR INTENTION TO DO. 
          >> I APPRECIATE IT. >> WE WILL WORK WITH YOU GOING FORWARD BUT THIS PROCESS NEEDS TO GO FORWARD AS IT STANDS. 
          >> THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR, I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT WHY CAN'T IT BE 34 ACRES AND 2 ACRES LEFT DIFFERENT ZONING? IT'S A ZONING 
          APPLICATION, RIGHT? >> I HAVE ALREADY EXPLAINED THIS TO YOU. THIS IS NOT THE PROCESS FOR THE ZONING. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU STARTED THE THREE MINUTES OR NOT? 
          >> THIS IS NOT ZONING? . >> NO SIR, THIS IS NOT ZONING. 
          >> THEY ARE REREQUESTING ZONING? IT IS LAND USE. THE ZONING WILL 
          COME LATER ON. IT IS LAND USE. >> IT IS THE SAME DIFFERENCE? 
          >> NO THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT PROCESSES. 
          >> YOU ARE ASKING FOR A LAND USE FOR 34 ACRES. 
          >> YES. >> I'M SUGGESTING FOR A LAND USE CHANGE ON 32 ACRES AND LEAVE 2 ACRES. 
          >> PETER, WE WILL HAVE MORE TOUNTS TO HAVE THE 
          CONVERSATIONS. . >> THANK YOU BUT CAN MY COMMENTS AT LEAST BE ADDED TO THE RECORD? YEAH, THEY ARE. 
          >> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC? >> IF I CAN ADD AS A REMINDER, THE CITY WAS PROACTIVE IN CONSIDERING THE NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH AND HAS ESTABLISHED A REQUIRED DESIGN FOR LANDSCAPE AND BERN ON THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE AT A MINIMUM, I BELIEVE IT MAY EXTEND AROUND THE OTHER PORTIONS OF THE PROPERTY BUT THAT WOULD BE A REQUIREMENT OF THE DEVELOPER TO MEET THOSE 
          REQUIREMENTS. >> THERE'S NOTHING AT THIS LEVEL, JUST FOR CLARITY PURPOSES. I KNOW THE MAYOR ADDRESSED IT IN THE MEETING. THERE IS NOTHING PREVENTING US LATER ON FROM ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL BUFFERS OR GREEN 
          SPACE GOING FORWARD, CORRECT? >> THOSE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS WE CAN HAVE WITH THE DEVELOPER GOING FORWARD . 
          >> CORRECT. >> THE CITY AS THE PROPERTY OWNER GIVES US LATITUDE TO MAKE REQUESTS AS WE GO FORWARD. 
          >> WE EHAVE ONE MORE. >> ROBERT AN CUE, NORTHWEST 114, PARKLAND, FLORIDA. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. I LIVE NEXT TO PETER. IT'S RIGHT IN MY NEXT YARD. IT IS 150 FEET ACROSS THE WATER TO THE PROPERTY EDGE WHICH WILL BE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AS I UNDERSTAND NOW THERE IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND HERON BAY H.O.A. WHICH IS A 50-FOOT BUFFER WHICH IS BASICALLY THE DISTANCE FROM MY SIDEWALK TO MY FRONT DOOR AND A FOUR FOOT BERM. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT LIFE STYLE IMPACT FOR HAVING THIS IN MY BACKYARD. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY PROPERTY VALUE. I DON'T WANT AN IMPACT TO MY PROPERTY VALUE BECAUSE THE CITY IS PUTTING THIS IN MY BACKYARD. IF I WERE TO SELL MY HOUSE TOMORROW, EVERYONE WOULD BE CONCERNED AND WOULD I WANT TO BUY THIS HOUSE. SO I REALLY WANT TO SEE SOMETHING FROM THE CITY, INDICATING THEY HAVE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION, WHAT IT WILL MEAN TO THE HOMES ON THE NORTH BORDER. I LOOK AT THE CITY ORDINANCE AROUND COMPATIBILITY AND CONSISTENCY, DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THIS ALIGNS WITH THAT ORDINANCE. I HAVE HEARD OTHERWISE FROM SOME OF THE COMMISSIONERS. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TALKED TO SOME ATTORNEYS. I DON'T WANT TO GO THAT ROUTE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR CONSIDERATIONS FOR OUR PROPERTY VALUS AND WHAT IT WILL MEAN LIVING THERE HAVE BEEN TAKEN 
          INTO CONSIDERATION FOR THE CITY. >> I HAVE GIVEN YOU MY WORD IN PRIVATE. I HAVE GIVEN YOU MY WORD IN PUBLIC, WE WILL TAKE EVERYTHING INTO CONSIDERATION AND DO THE BEST WE CAN TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT ON ANY RESIDENT IN THE CITY OF 
          PARKLAND. >> I UNDERSTAND AND I APPRECIATE THAT. IF I HAVE TO SELL MY HOUSE TOMORROW, THAT WILL NOT BE HELPFUL ENOUGH. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS THIS THINGS MOVES SOONER RATHER THAN LATER THAT SAYS WE HAVE DECIDED WHEN WE GO TO THE 
          DEVELOPER WE WILL ASK FOR THIS. >> UNTIL WE SEE A DEVELOPER, UNTIL WE EGET TO THE NEGOTIATIONS, WE EHAVE TO LEAVE AN OPEN CANVAS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC? ANYONE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? 
          >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECONDED. 
          >> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY VICE MAYOR ISROW AND SECOND 
          [02:10:05]
BY COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN. ROLL CALL? COMMISSIONER MURPHY 
          SALOMONE? >> YES. 
          >> COMMISSIONER BRIER? YES. >> COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN? 
          >> YES. >> VICE MAYOR ISROW? 
          >> JUST TO CLARIFY, I HEAR YOU, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE WILL IGNORE. WE WENT THROUGH IT WITH REZONING, WITH THE TYPES OF BUSINESSES WE ARE ALLOWING, THERE IS ALREADY THOUGHT TO NOISE ORDERINATION, SEPARATION, SPACING, CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE WILL NOT ALLOW OUT DOORS VERSUS INDOORS. THIS IS ALREADY ON OUR RADAR. I WANT THAT TO BE CLEAR SO YES. I AGREE WITH THAT 
          COMMENT. MAYORWALKER? >> YES, PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES U MANINOUSLY. WE ARE ON 10N, 2005007, EXTERNAL DEFIBILATOR A.E.D. AND AMENDING SECTION 14-3, COMMUNITY AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBILATOR A.E.D.

          >> MAYOR WALKER? >> YES. WE ARE SKIPPING ITEM O. 
          NOW WE ARE GOING TO COMMENTS BY THE BROWARD'S SHERIFF'S 
          OFFICE. TWO MOTEINGS IN A ROW. >> HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GOOD FOURTH. JUST ONE ISSUE TO DISCUSS WITH YOU IS THE ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE KIDS ON THE ELECTRIC BIKES WITHIN THE PARKS. 
          WE HAVE AN OPERATIONAL PLAN SINCE THE START OF THE SUMMER. 
          WE HAVE HAD SUCCESS BUT THERE IS STILL A SMALL GROUP OF JUVENILES WHO ARE INTENTIONALLY DOING IT AT THIS POINT. I'M WORKING WITH PARKS AND REC PEOPLE, PARK RANGERS AND WE WILL PROBABLY MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO IDENTIFY THESE KIDS AND TRY TO PREVENT IT 
          FROM OCCURRING AGAIN. >> I APPRECIATE YOUR OUT REACH ON SOCIAL MEDIA REGARDING THE MASKS. 
          >> YES. >> FOR THOSE RESIDENTS WHO THINK YOU NEED TO WEAR A MASK TO KEEP BUGS OUT OF YOUR FACE, I GREW UP, AND I CONTINUE TO RIDE MY BIKE, BUT I GREW UP RIDING MY BIKE, HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF MILES. I HAVE NEVER WORE A MASK. 
          IN THE SUMMER, IN THE WINTER, IN THE FALL, I NEVER WORE A MASK. 
          AND CERTAINLY, I WOULD NEVER WEAR A MASK WHEN IT'S 95 DEGREES OUT WHILE I'M RIDING MY BIKE UNLESS I WANT TO BE A 
          KNUCKLEHEAD. >> SO SEEING THAT, WE KNOW THEY ARE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO LET US APPROACH THEM. WE KNOW WHAT THEIR INTENTIONS ARE. WE ARE LOOKING FOR ALTERNATIVE MEANS TO IDENTIFY THEM AND ADDRESS IT AFTER THE FACT WHEN IT IS SAFE. 
          >> TO BE CLEAR, PARKLAND, OUR COMMISSION, WE WANT KIDS TO GO OUT AND RIDE THEIR BIKES. WE WANT KIDS TO GO OUT AND PLAY AND RUN AROUND, GO TO PARKS. WE WANT KIDS TO DO ALL OF THE THINGS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. KIDS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING WHEELIES AGAINST TRAFFIC OR RIDING E-BIKES IN THE MIDDLE OF SOCCER GAMES. KIDS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE RIDING BIKES ON THE FIELDS THAT WE PAY -- WHEN I SAY WE, ALL OF US IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND WHO PAY LOTS OF MONEY TO MAINTAIN THOSE FIELDS. 
          THAT'S NOT WHAT KIDS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. THERE ARE PLENTY OF PLACES WHERE KIDS CAN RIDE THEIR BIKES AND HAVE FUN. THEY NEED TO DO THAT IN A SAFE MANNER. WE MADE THIS DECISION AS A COMMISSION TO FORBID KIDS FROM RIDING WITHIN OUR PARKS BECAUSE THEY WERE RIDING THROUGH GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE WATCHING THEIR KIDS PLAY SOCCER. THAT'S NOT SAFE. THAT'S NOT FUN. 
          THAT'S NOT FUNNY. WE DID NOT WANT TO MAKE THAT DECISION. WE TRIED AS A COMMISSION, THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT, WE TRIED HARD TO GET THE KIDS TO STOP DOING THAT. THEY DIDN'T LISTEN. 
          [02:15:01]
WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO MAKE SURE THE SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS CAME FIRST. THAT IS WHY WE MADE THE ORDINANCE TO NOT RIDE WITHIN OUR PARKS. I'M GLAD WE MADE THAT DECISION AND I WOULD MAKE IT AGAIN. IF KIDS CANNOT RIDE THEIR BIKES, THEN WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY CONTINUE TO RIDE AGAINST TRAFFIC, THEN WHAT? THEN WE HAVE TO MAKE FURTHER DECISIONS TO REING STRICT KIDS FROM RIDING EBIKES? THAT'S NOT WHAT WE WANT TO DO. WE ARE PARKLAND. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OUTSIDE ENJOYING OURSELVES BUT KIDS NEED TO ACT IN A RESPONSIBLE MANNER. ANY PARENT THAT LET'S THEIR KID GO OUT WITH A MASK NEEDS TO THINK TWICE ABOUT WHAT THEIR KID IS DOING. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. 
          >> LIEUTENANT, ON THE WAY HERE THIS EVENING, ON HONEBURG ROAD, DOING ABOUT 32 MILES PER HOUR THERE WAS AN EBIKE ON MY RIGHT THAT WAS KEEPING EXACT SPEED WITH ME. IT WAS IMPRESSIVE TOSEE THIS ON THE SIDEWALK. MY QUESTION, AGAIN, FOR CLARITY'S SAKE, IF YOU ARE GOING TO RIDE THIS AT SPEED, SHOULD YOU BE IN A BIKE LANE? IF IT IS 32 MILES PER HOUR, IT IS A MOTOR VEHICLE AND HAS TO BE REGISTERED ON THE ROADWAY. SO IF HE IS ON THE SIDEWALK OR BIKE LANE, THAT'S INAPPROPRIATE. IF WE CATCH THEM THEY WILL BE CITED AS SUCH THEY SHOULD BE BECAUSE THAT'S NOT 
          SAFE. >> IT IS NOT. 
          >> YOU HAVE PEOPLE WALKING KIDS IN STROLLERS, WALKING THEIR DOGS. YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF THE WAY OF SOMEONE DOING 32 MILES PER HOUR ON THE SIDEWALK. THAT'S NOT APPROPRIATE. THEN WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS, YOU KNOW THE FIRST PERSON TO BE BLAMED? WE ARE. YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU LET THE KIDS RUN AROUND AND DO WHAT THEY WANT. THAT'S NOT THE CASE. BUT WE CAN'T DO IT ALONE. WE NEED THE PARENTS TO STEP UP AND TAKE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE FOLLOWING UP WITH THAT THEIR KIDS ARE DOING. THANK YOU. ÚI DO COMMEND URPROACTIVITY IN
