PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON NONAGENDA ITEMS. ANYONE HERE FROM THE PUBLIC? IF THERE IS NONE WILL DO COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND START WITH THE FURTHEST COMMISSIONER FIRST.

COMMISSIONER CINDY MURPHY-SALOMONE.

ANY COMMENTS? >> THANKS MAN.

SINCE I AM VIRTUAL AND DO APOLOGIZE, I HAD UNAVOIDABLE BUSINESS TRAVEL FOR MY DAY JOB. SO I WOULD JUST SAY PARKLAND HUGE SUCCESS. THANKS AGAIN TO THE CITY STAFF, TO ALL THOSE THAT JUST MADE A HUGE SUCCESS INCLUDING OUR COMMUNITY. OF COURSE THE COMMISSION, JUST ANOTHER AGAIN HUGE SUCCESS. THE ONLY OTHER THING I JUST WANTED TO MENTION WAS, THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME ON THE SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY AND THE MASTER PLAN THAT REALLY IS FOCUSED ON SUSTAINABILITY, RECYCLING, AND JUST, YOU KNOW, ADDRESSING PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT BROWARD COUNTY THAT INCREASE AND BECOME VERY SERIOUS AND CHALLENGING.

THE OTHER THING IS JUST COMING ACROSS, AND WHEN I RIDE MY BIKE TO THE PARKLAND FARMERS' MARKET AGAIN FOR OTHER REASONS, I DO NOTICE THAT THERE IS MORE GLITTERING THAN I WOULD EXPECT.

SO I JUST ASK EVERYONE TO CONSIDER JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL OUR CITY IS AN OVERALL THE ENVIRONMENT AND TO JUST TAKE A MOMENT, YOU KNOW, IDEALLY RECYCLE, BUT IF NOT AT LEAST THROW IT AWAY VERSUS ON THE ROAD OR THE GRASS OR IN THE PARK.

AND MAYER THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR COMMENTS.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER.

COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN. >> THANK YOU MAYOR.

YEAH, PIGGYBACKING ON WHAT COMMISSIONER MURPHY-SALOMONE HE SAID ABOUT PARKLAND DAY OUR STAFF IS TOP-NOTCH, AND THE PARADE, THE LUNCHEON, THE EVENT THAT NIGHT AT THE AMPHITHEATER, EVERYTHING WAS ABSOLUTELY HANDLED WITH GRACE AND PROFESSIONALISM THAT I HAVE COME TO EXPECT.

SO UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE IT IS TOUGHER FOR YOU GUYS.

YOU KEEP TOPPING YOURSELVES. BUT IT WAS A GREAT EVENT.

I WANT TO THANK THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY FOR COMING INTO OUR CITY HALL PRESENTING US WITH THE DINNER DURING THE CELEBRATION OF RAMADAN. I'VE DONE TWO AND I THINK IT IS A GROWING FRUITION IN THE CITY, AND I THINK I WELCOME IT.

I THINK IT'S GREAT EVENT THAT HOPEFULLY WE ARE EXPANDING IN THE FUTURE. AND REALLY I AM STILL TICKLED WITH THE ROADS AND PINETREE, NOW THAT THEY HAVE STRIKING DOWN AND THE DETAILS ARE STARTING TO FILL IN AND THE SOD HAS BEEN LAID.

IT LOOKS TERRIFIC UP THERE. IT TOOK DECADES TO GET THERE, AND NO ONE IS UNHAPPY WITH THE FINISHED PRODUCT.

LANCELEVE THRILLED WITH THAT. >> I'M SURE SOMEONE IS.

>> WE WILL SEE. >> COMMISSIONER ISROW.

>> THANK YOU MAYOR. WITHOUT BEING REDUNDANT I WILL BE REDUNDANT. PARKLAND DAY AS ALWAYS IS A SUCCESS. GRANTED THAT WE'VE ONLY HAD IT NOW THREE YEARS SINCE IT HAS BEEN BACK.

IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS BEEN HERE FOREVER AND THAT'S KIND OF THE COOL THING ABOUT IT. I THINK IT IS TIMELESS.

IS VERY PARKLAND, VERY AMERICANA AT OUR THINK I'VE EVER SEEN A BIGGER SMILE ON MY KIDS' FACES WHEN THEY GET TO THROW CANDY AT OTHER KIDS. THEY LOVE IT.

MY ONLY RECOMMENDATION OR REQUEST NEXT YEAR'S WE ALSO GET DOG TREATS FOR THE CARS. THERE'S A LOT OF DOGS OUT THERE.

I CAN SEE WE ARE VERY JEALOUS. SO AGAIN THANKS FOR THE STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS, OBVIOUSLY COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD,

[00:05:01]

I WANT TO WISH EVERYONE HAPPY SPRING BREAK.

EVERYONE IS OFTEN DIFFERENT TIMES BUT WHILE THE PARENTS OUT THERE GODSPEED. FINDING SOMETHING TO DO EVERY DAY IS ALWAYS A CHALLENGE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE WORKING.

I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE I COLLECT THE NINTH ANNUAL EGG MY LAWN. IT IS TO ME ONE OF THE MORE FUN FUND-RAISERS. OF YEAR THEY DO IT IN HER HONOR AND ESSENTIALLY THEY WILL HAVE BUNNIES COMING AND QUOTE EGG YOUR LAWN AT NIGHT AND THE KIDS WAKE UP AND FIND THEM WITH CANDY AND GET A GOLDEN EGG THERE'S A TWO-DOLLAR BILL AND IT.

IT IS WORTH THE FIVE DOLLARS. >> YOU ONLY GET TWO DOLLARS BACK BUT ASPIRE SMILE IS WORTH THREE DOLLARS.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST I WILL WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY PASSOVER BECAUSE I THINK WE'LL SEE EACH OTHER BEFORE THEM.

SO CELEBRATE VERY HAPPY PASSOVER.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT MAYOR. >> THINK YOU COMMISSION.

VICE MAYOR BRIER. >> I WANT TO WELCOME OUR FRIENDS. WE'LL GET TO ONE OF THEM IN A MINUTE BUT WELCOME OUR FRIENDS CAN STATE REPRESENTATIVE CHRISTINE WHO IS HERE AND FAVORITE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BOB MAYERSOHN IN THE CRAMPED ME. I WANT TO THANK THE MAYOR FOR ALLOWING ME TO WRITE THIS MONTH'S ARTICLE.

AND I CHOSE OBVIOUSLY WILL DO A PROCLAMATION ON COLORECTAL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH AND HOPEFULLY FOLKS ARE MINDFUL OF THEIR HEALTH. I KNOW WITH THIS MONTH IT IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN IMPRESSED UPON ME TO TRY TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE. WE JUST LOST ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD ACTORS JAMES VAN DER BEEK TO COLON CANCER BECAUSE HE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED EARLY. AND I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST CURABLE CANCERS, COLON CANCER.

AND IF YOU GET DIAGNOSED EARLY AND TREATED, AND I AM LIVING TESTAMENT TO THAT THANK GOD. I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO TAKE THEIR HEALTH SEARCY AND GO OUT AND GET SCREENED.

WHETHER IT IS 45 OR EARLIER IF YOU HAVE ANY PRIOR MEDICAL HISTORY OR WHATEVER. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.

AND WITH THAT MAYOR CAN THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALLOWING ME TO WRITE THE ARTICLE, INTO OUR STAFF ARE HELD FOR HELPING.

WITH THAT THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. >> GREAT.

I WILL TALK ABOUT PARKLAND DAY A LITTLE BIT.

I WON'T BELABOR THAT. PARKLAND DAY OBVIOUSLY VERY EXCITED THAT WE BROUGHT IT BACK. I THINK IT WAS GREAT.

THE COMMUNITY LOVES IT. EVERY YEAR WE GET MORE PARTICIPANTS AND MORE PEOPLE LOOKING TO GET CANDY, WAITING FOR US TO GO BACK. I'VE STARTED SOMEWHAT OF A TRADITION OF GETTING A LITTLE MORE INTO THE TEAM.

SO LAST YEAR I DRESSED UP AS A PIRATE.

THIS YEAR I WAS GEORGE WASHINGTON.

SO I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR'S THEME JUST SO HOPEFULLY I CAN GET A MATCHING COSTUME. SO WE WILL SEE WHAT THE STAFF COMES UP WITH. BUT IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE -- I THINK THE THEME WAS GREAT 250TH BIRTHDAY FOR AMERICA SO THAT'S VERY EXCITING WE WERE ABLE TO CELEBRATE THAT IN OUR

[6. Proclamations and Recognitions]

[APPLAUSE] >> THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

>> ALL RIGHT. WHERE IS COLORECTAL CANCER IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF CANCER-RELATED DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES AMONG MEN AND WOMEN COMBINED, AND WHERE'S COLORECTAL CANCER HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN VIEWED AS A DISEASE AFFECTING OLDER ADULTS, YET OVER THE PAST FOUR DECADES THE INCIDENCES AMONG YOUNGER ADULTS INDIVIDUALS HAVE STEADILY INCREASED. WHEREAS COLORECTAL CANCER IS UNIQUE IN THAT IT CAN OFTEN BE PREVENTED OR SUCCESSFULLY TREATED WERE DETECTED EARLY FOR APPROPRIATE SCREENING, AND WHERE'S DESPITE NATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS LOWERING SCREENING EACH DR. 45 MANY INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SCREENING DO NOT RECEIVE IT AND MANY YOUNGER INDIVIDUALS WITH EARLY SYMPTOMS DO NOT QUALIFY FOR ROUTINE SCREENING.

AND WHERE'S FIGHT COLORECTAL CANCER IS A PATIENT ADVOCAC ORGANIZATION THAT SEEKS TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT RISK FACTORS, SYMPTOMS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF SCREENING WHICH CAN HELP SAVE LIVES AND IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES, AND WHERE'S FIGHT COLORECTAL CANCER ALSO FINDS AND SUPPORTS INNOVATIVE INITIATIVES TO ADVANCE RESEARCH AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES AND WHERE'S RECOGNIZING COLORECTAL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST THEIR

[00:10:03]

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED MAYOR RICH WALKER AND CITY PARKLAND CITY COMMISSION HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF MARCH 2026 AS COLORECTAL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. [APPLAUSE]

>> OKAY ALL RIGHT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> SPEAKER-01: STATE REPRESENTATIVE CHRISTINE.

[APPLAUSE] IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU WITH

US TONIGHT BRINGING YOUR TEAM? >> I AM BRINGING LINDA.

>> WHAT ABOUT BOB? [LAUGHTER]

>> FOR WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH WE CANNOT HAVE CINDY READ IT BECAUSE SHE IS SOMEWHERE. SO I WILL GO AHEAD AND READ IT.

WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH WAS FIRST RECOGNIZED IN 1987 BY CONGRESS AND ENACTED BY U.S. PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN AFTER YEARS OF LOBBYING THE NATIONAL WOMEN'S HISTORY PROJECT.

WE STRIVE TO REMEMBER AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE GREAT AMERICAN WOMEN WHO FOUGHT FOR SUFFRAGE, ADVANCED OUR DEMOCRACY AND CONTINUE TO HEAL HER COMMUNITIES.

THROUGHOUT OUR NATION'S HISTORY WOMEN HAVE BEEN AND CONTINUE TO PIONEERS IN ALL AREAS OF SOCIETY FROM SCIENCES, MEDICINE AND EDUCATION, TO THE ARTS, PUBLIC SERVICE, LAW AND LEGISLATION.

REPRESENTATIVE CHRISTINE A FORMER MAYOR OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND REMAINS DEEPLY ROOTED IN PARKLAND.

AS A RESIDENT AND CHAMPION OF LEGISLATION THAT PROMOTES SCHOOL SAFETY, HELPING THE PASS LEGISLATION THAT EXCITED CAMPUS SECURITY MEASURES, IMPROVED EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND ENHANCED SAFETY PARTICLES FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS.

WOMEN LEGISLATORS CONTINUE TO FIND WAYS TO HEAL AND STRENGTHEN COMMUNITIES BY SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INITIATIVES, CONCLUDING LEGISLATION AND POLICY EFFORTS AIMED AT STRENGTHENING FLORIDA'S MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE SYSTEMS. NUMEROUS PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES, FLORIDA MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCACY COALITION, THE FLORIDA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION AND MANY MORE HAVE BESTOWED HIGH ACCOLADES UPON REPRESENTATIVE CHRISTINE FOR TIRELESS EFFORTS AS A LEGISLATOR AND AS A COMMUNITY LEADER WHO CARES.

THE STATE OF FLORIDA ENCOURAGES ALL CITIES AND TOWNS TO JOIN THE OBSERVATION OF WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH TO PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES AND TO EDUCATE EACH OTHER ABOUT WOMEN WHO CHARTED PATHS, BROKEN GLASS CEILINS AND CONTINUE TO BE PHENOMENAL FORCES THAT IMPROVE THE LIVES AND POTENTIAL OF ALL.

BE RESOLVED THAT I MAYOR RICH WALKER IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND CITY COMMISSION HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF MARCH 2026 WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH. [APPLAUSE] AND I KNOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING.

>> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU AND ALSO RECOGNIZE MY AMAZING DISTRICT AID LINDA WHO TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING BACK HOME WHILE WE ARE UP IN TALLAHASSEE.

TEAMWORK LITERALLY MAKES THE DREAM WORK IN OUR OFFICE.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RECOGNIZING US TODAY.

>> SPEAKER-01: OF COURSE. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

[7. Approval of the Agenda]

>> APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA. >> MOTION APPROVED.

>> SECOND. >> MOTION BACK COMMISSIONER ISROW SECOND BY COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN.

ALL IN FAVOR. AND HE OPPOSED?

[8. Consent Agenda ]

[00:15:03]

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK? WHAT WE GOT HERE? WHAT COULD HE BE COMMENTING ON?

LET ME LOOK. >> GAS GAS GAS.

BOB MAYERSOHN 6742 NORTH WEST 80TH MANNER.

FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO THANK MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, VICE MAYOR, CITY MANAGER, CITY ATTORNEY, CITY CLERK FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

OBVIOUSLY ITEM WAS, EIGHT A IS THE RULES.

THE RULES. AGAIN VICE MAYOR BRIER MOTION I GUESS LAST WORKSHOP TO CHANGE THE RULES TO HAVE ANY COMMISSIONER ALLOW THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT AN ITEM AT A WORKSHOP. JUST SOME OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO POINT OUT TO YOU GUYS IS THAT I AM NOT SURE WHETHER THAT HAVING IT AT A WORKSHOP DOES REALLY WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO.

THERE'S NO GUARDRAILS AT WORKSHOP.

YOU DON'T VOTE ON IT. THERE'S NO MOTIONS.

EVERYTHING IS CONSENT. OR IF YOU HAVE IT ON A REGULAR AGENDA, YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE SAID APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA, SOMEBODY CAN MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE AN ITEM, REMOVE AN ITEM. YOU CAN HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS IT. YOU HAVE A LONGER OPPORTUNITY YOU ARE NOT LOCKED INTO OUR OR HALF-HOUR WINDOW.

YOU ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET PUBLIC INPUT.

AS AN EXAMPLE YOU HAD A WORKSHOP ON THE CITY LOGO.

NO PUBLIC INPUT. THAT I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT.

I THINK THE BIG ISSUE THAT YOU REALLY HAVE IS ISSUES THAT ARE ON UNCOMFORTABLE OR ISSUES THAT MIGHT BE CONTROVERSIAL.

ANY OTHER ISSUE IS REALLY NOT A PROBLEM IN MY OPINION IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO COME AND SENT TO THE CITY MANAGER CAN I PUT IT ON THE AGENDA TO MAKE UP MAYOR'S AND, NORMALLY WOULD BE APPROVED.

>> I TRIED. IT GOT DENIED.

>> YOU MAY VOTE ON IT AND IT MAY BE A DIFFERENT STORY BUT IT GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO DO THAT.

I JUST THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, BEFORE YOU VOTE ON IT, LASKIEWICZ TWO WERE THREE YEARS AGO I THINK WE WERE IN A 2-2 MAC DEADLOCK MAKING THAT DECISION WILL FORWARD.

I KNOW COMMISSIONER ISROW I DON'T KNOW WHAT HIS OPINION WAS BUT HE WAS ABSENT THAT DAY. THAT'S WHY WE GOT INTO THE 2-2 DEADLOCK OR WOULD HAVE BEEN 3-2 ANYWAY.

JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT, AND AGAIN I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO. IT'S NOT AN EASY JOB.

CAN'T ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT ANSWERS FOR THE PUBLIC BUT

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.

ANYONE ELSE? SPINNING I ASKED NANCY TO PUT ON, AND WE CAN ADD IT TO OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR LOOKING AT THE RULES. I DON'T KNOW, HAVING NOT HAVING THEM IN FRONT OF ME WITH OTHER RULES WE HAVE, BUT THEY ARE A FUNCTION OF OUR BODY. SO WE CAN LOOK AT THAT STRATEGIC PLANNING UNLESS SOMEBODY WANTS TO MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO MY MOTION BUT MY MOTION IS WHAT'S PRESENTED HERE EIGHT BE.

>> TO HAVE A MOTION? >> THE ONLY THING I WILL SAY AS I UNDERSTAND EXTENSION. I THINK IT'S A FAIR POINT OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WORKSHOP AND COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM OF HAVING PUBLIC INPUT. I NEVER LOOKED AT IT THAT WAY BUT I THINK IT'S A GOOD POINT AND THERE'S A LOT OF WORKSHOPS WE HAVE FOR THE BENEFIT. PERFECT EXAMPLE WE JUST HAD IT WITH JLL. THAT'S PERFECT FOR US BECAUSE WE ARE LOOKING TO GET OUR CONSENSUS AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE WE ARE LOOKING AT THERE ARE TIMES WHERE WE NEED INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY AND SOMETIMES IT'S OFTEN WAITED UNTIL THE AGENDA ITEM WHERE SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS EITHER AREN'T PRESENT ET CETERA BUT I LIKE THE DISTINCTION BECAUSE MAYBE THAT ALSO GIVES SOME ROOM FOR WHAT TYPES OF WORKSHOPS AS OPPOSED TO ANY GENERAL WORKSHOP. AND I DON'T HOW TO STRING THAT.

FOR SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. BUT I DO WORRY THAT THE ABILITY TO CALL WORKSHOP ON ANYTHING BY ONE COMMISSIONER AT ANY TIME WHILE MAY NOT BE ABUSED AND HOURS AT SOME POINT CAN BE.

WE HAVE TO NOT ONLY THINK OF THE RULE BECAUSE GOING FOR THE RULE HAS TO BE MODIFIED BY SOMEONE. AND IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO BE MODIFIED IF SOMEONE ISN'T SAYING, LET'S HAVE A WORKSHOP

FIRST. >> USUALLY YOU DON'T TAKE POWERS

AWAY. >> THAT'S TRUE.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE GETTING MONEY IN YOUR BUDGET.

ONCE IT'S THERE YOU DON'T-- YOU WANT TO SPEND IT.

I JUST WORRY THAT UNLESS THERE'S BEEN ENOUGH EXAMPLES WHERE COMMISSIONERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SAY LOOK, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN HEARD THIS ITEM REQUIRED FURTHER DISCUSSION, THAT I WAS NOT READY TO VOTE ON AND ASK FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DIDN'T GET IT. THAT TO ME IS WHAT WORKSHOP IS FOR. I'M STILL, IT'S NOT EVEN THAT I NEED MORE INFORMATION AT THE MEETING THAT THERE'S A LAYER.

TO STEP BEFORE WE GET TO THAT THAT STILL HASN'T BEEN

ADDRESSED. >> 'S OPPORTUNITY WHAT YOU JUST SAID EARLIER. WORKSHOPS WE CAN TALK TO ONE

[00:20:01]

IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR SOME OF OUR THOUGHTS ON, MAYBE IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC, MAYBE IT'S MORE OF A QUESTION TOPIC. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT NEEDS PUBLIC INPUT OR WHATEVER. MAYBE YOU'RE TRYING TO GAGE EACH OTHER'S THOUGHTS ON WHERE WE ARE AT.

SO, YOU KNOW,. >> I DON'T SEE IT AS EVERY ISSUE THAT ONE COMMISSIONER BRINGS UP IS NECESSARILY MEANT FOR BOTH A WORKSHOP AND A COMMISSION MEETING TO YOUR POINT.

92 DIFFERENT ISSUES. ONE OF THEM IS WE WANT TO TALK AMONGST YOURSELVES BECAUSE WE DON'T GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT AND THE OTHER WE WANT TO TAKE ACTION ITEM AND MAYBE THAT'S A DISTINCTION. BUT I COULD DO BOTH.

I'M FINE WITH LIKE A MINE WAS TO TRY TO BRING A DIALOG FOR THE ABILITY FOR US TO DISCUSS IT IN A WORKSHOP.

OF THE POINTS RAISED IN THERE FOR THEM FROM OTHER RESIDENTS AFTER THE LAST WORKSHOP WERE RAISED ARE FAIR ONES ABOUT THE DISTINCTION SO I'M HAPPY TO DO BOTH IF THAT'S CONSENSUS OR IF WE WANT TO LOOK AT IT AT STRATEGIC PLANNING AND WHATEVER

OTHER RULE CHANGES. >> I'M HAPPY TO LOOK AT IT AT STRATEGIC PLANNING WE WANT. I THINK WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL FOR WHAT COMMISSIONER ISROW SAID EARLIER, FUTURE COMMISSIONS.

OUR COMMISSION WE GET ALONG. WE JUST WANT TO BE CAREFUL TO ADD SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA, YOU KNOW, IF IT IS ONE PERSON.

WE JUST WANT TO BE MINDFUL AGAIN , NOT OUR COMMISSION

SNICKERED COULD BE COMPUTER. >> WE SHOULD DEFINITELY THINK ABOUT THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY ANY RULE WE CAN CREATE CAN BE USED.

>> I'M OF THE UP A SET MINE. IF SOMEBODY'S GOING TO DO SOMETHING THAT WILL BE PROBLEMATIC OR PROVOCATIVE, LET THEM DO IT IN PUBLIC BEFORE RESIDENTS.

>> TO ME THAT'S THE STUFF WE WANT TO TRY TO AVOID.

THAT'S WHAT-- >> IT ADDS EXTRA WORK TO THE

COST OF STAFF. >> THAT MAKES OUR COMMISSION DIFFERENT THAN A LOT OF OTHER COMMISSIONS.

WE DON'T PLAY THOSE GAMES. WE DON'T GO IN THAT DIRECTION.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE NOT ALWAYS GOING TO ALL BE HERE AND NOT EVERYBODY WILL ALWAYS GET ALONG.

THAT CAN BE USED IN MY OPINION AS NOT A GOOD TOOL.

>> WHAT WE MAKE THE CHANGE WE PROPOSED IN HB NOW AND REVISIT THE RULES IN THEIR ENTIRETY AT STRATEGIC PLANNING.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? SMACK SAY IT AGAIN.

>> MAKE THE CHANGE NOW. >> THAT MAKE THE CHANGED PROPOSED WHERE WE HAD CONSENSUS OF THE WORKSHOP AND THEN REVIEW THE REMAINDER OF THE RULES AT STRATEGIC PLANNING.

>> I FEEL LIKE IF WE ARE LOOKING AT STRATEGIC PLANNING, SO WE ARE ACCEPTING EVERYONE THEN, ONE PERSON CAN CALL FOR THE WORKSHOP AND STRATEGIC PLANNING TO DECIDE TO REMOVE IT.

>> I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY CONCERN ABOUT IT COMMISSIONER PUTTING AN ITEM ON WORKSHOP AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION.

TO THE POINT WE TALKED WILL BEFORE THAT ALLOWS FOR MORE DISCUSSION. AND STALOCK ALL WE'RE SAYING IS THEY CAN ADD IT TO ANOTHER WORKSHOP.

AND IF WE WANT THE ADDITIONAL LAYER OF ADDING IT TO COMMISSION MEETING I GET THAT THERE'S FURTHER CONSIDERATION THERE.

BUT THIS IS ADDING IT TO A WORKSHO AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION.

AND THAT MAY BE ISSUES THAT DON'T NEED STAFF ACTION NECESSARILY. OR YET STAFF ACTION.

THAT MAY BE ISSUES THE DON'T NEED YET A RESIDENT INPUT BUT IT ALLOWS US TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE A DIALOG AMONGST US WHICH

ARE NOT ABLE TO UNDER THE LAW. >> DO I HAVE A MOTION?

>> MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA'S.

I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

>> I DIDN'T HEAR THAT. >> I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT. NOBODY ELSE IN PUBLIC.

CLOSE PUBLIC. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN AND A SECOND BY VICE MAYOR BRIER.

WE'LL CALL. >> COMMISSIONER ISROW.

>> I WOULD BE YES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF EIGHT B.

>> COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN. >> I WILL SAY US.

MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A CASE NUMBER 2025-13-SPA.

2025-17-C.A.B. PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT SEPARABILITY AND AN

EFFECTIVE DATE. >> ANYTHING

>> GOOD EVENING. I WILL TURN IT OVER TO THE APPLICANT TO GIVE A PRESENTATION ON THE SCREEN.

THEY DO HAVE A FEW OF THEIR TEAM MEMBERS JOINING VIA TEAMS, SO IF YOU HEAR VOICES ABOVE YOU, THAT'S WHO'S JOINING IN AND YOU ARE CERTAINLY ABLE TO ASK THEM QUESTIONS AS WELL.

I BELIEVE ONE OF THEIR WASTE MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS IS JOINING THEM VIRTUALLY. AS A CITY ATTORNEY MENTIONED, THE GETTING BEFORE YOU IS AT PLAN AMENDMENT AND APPEARANCE BOARD APPLICATION FOR THE ADDITION OF A TRASH COMPACTOR AND ENCLOSURE WITHIN THE SHOPPES OF PARKLAND SHOPPING CENTER.

OVERALL THE APPLICANT HAS GONE THROUGH NUMEROUS ITERATIONS.

THEY PROBABLY KNOW HOW MANY ITERATIONS, I'VE LOST TRACK TRYING TO LOCATE THIS ENCLOSURE AND THE COMPACTOR ON THE SITE.

TONIGHT BEFORE YOU IS THEIR FINAL ITERATION THAT THEY'VE BROUGHT FORWARD TO PLANNING AND ZONING THE OTHER MONTH, WHICH BASICALLY CHANGES THE DIRECTIONY PROPOSED.

IT IS STILL GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE EASTERNMOST BUILDING FACING UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THE COMPACTOR AND OPENING NO FACES NORTHWEST TOWARD THE DRIVE FILE IN THE REAR OF THAT BUILDING.

SO THAT'S THE LARGEST CHANGE SINCE THEY BROUGHT IT BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD PREVIOUSLY.

I WILL TURN IT OVER TO THE APPLICANT TO MAKE THEIR

PRESENTATION AT THIS TIME. >> GOOD EVENING.

LAYS SOME RESTING. JUST TO KEEP IN MIND AS I'M GOING THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, WE HAVE ON THE LINE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND ALSO FROM OUR TRASH CONSULTANT. IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, I DID WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE AVAILABLE.

DO I JUST CLICK TO GO FORWARD? >> SORRY.

>> A LITTLE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.

I'M SURE YOU ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE LOCATION OF THE SHOPPES

[00:30:03]

THIS IS A CLOSE-UP OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS.

AT THE END ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY, THERE IS GOING TO BE TWO PARKING SPACES WHERE THE COMPACTOR WILL BE LOCATED. YOU CAN SEE JUST NORTH FOR THE BOLLARDS ARE IS WHERE ONE OF OUR DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES ARE.

I'M SURE YOU ARE FAMILIAR, ON THAT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY THERE ARE TWO DUMPSTER ENCLOSURES. ONE HAS A DUMPSTER AND RECYCLING, THE OTHER HAS A DUMPSTER AND RECYCLING.

THE INTENT IS BECAUSE WE ARE REORIENTING THE COMPACTOR TO FACE NORTHWEST, WE HAVE TO REMOVE THIS DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE, THE ONE THAT IN THIS PHOTO. AND THE RECYCLING BINS ARE ALL GOING TO BE LOCATED IN THE MORE NORTHERN DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION.

IT'S A VERY POPULAR SHOPPING PLAZA WITH SEVEN TENANTS, FIVE OF THEM FOOD AND BEVERAGE WHICH IS WHAT IS REALLY NECESSITATING THE COMPACTOR HERE, BECAUSE THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE GENERATE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TRASH. CURRENTLY THERE ARE 13 TRASH PICKUPS, THAT INCLUDES RECYCLING AND TRASH.

THE TRASH ACCOUNTS FOR SEVEN OF THOSE PICKUPS.

ONCE WE CONVERT THE DUMPSTERS THAT ARE THERE TO THIS ONE COMPACTOR, WEEKLY PICKUPS WILL GO FROM 13 DOWN TO SEVEN.

SO THE TRASH WILL ONLY BE ONE PICKUP, THE RECYCLING REMAINING AT SIX. THE NUMBERS, THIS IS JUST IF YOU LOOK AT THE YARDAGE. THE DUMPSTERS ARE EACH 4 YARDS.

SO THERE'S 8-YARD CAPACITY FOR THE DUMPSTERS RIGHT NOW.

THE COMPACTOR IS A 30-YARD COMPACTOR, BUT IT HAS A THREE TO ONE COMPACTION RATIO, SO IT HAS 90 YARDS OF CAPACITY.

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW OFTEN THE TRASH IS BEING PICKED UP, IT'S REALLY 52 YARDS OF TRASH VERSUS 90 YARDS.

THIS IS A VIEW OF THE REVISED SITE PLAN.

I'M GOING TO SKIP HERE SO YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT WAS WHAT WE BROUGHT BEFORE THE PLANNING BOARD PREVIOUSLY.

I KNOW IT WAS ON THE AGENDA, SO YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE SITE PLAN WE HAVE ON THE LEFT. THE WAY THAT THIS WAS ORIGINALLY ORIENTED, THE TRASH WOULD COME TAKE THE COMPACTOR OUT, IT WAS GOING TO BE RIGHT IN THAT T INTERSECTION.

WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO RELOCATE THE WATER METERS AND REORIENT THE NORTHWEST SO WHEN THE TRUCK COMES IN, THEY'RE GOING TO GO UP INTO THE DRIVE FILE, BACK IN SO THEY WON'T BE IN THAT INTERSECTION AT ALL WHEN THEY ARE TAKING THE COMPACTOR OFF SITE. AND THE TENANT GATE, I WISH I HAD A LITTLE CLICKER, BUT IT'S ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE ARK IS. THERE IS SMALL MAN GATE WHERE TENANTS CAN COME DISPOSE. THIS IS THE AERIAL VIEW JUST TO SHOW THE LANDSCAPING. IT'S GOING TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE LANDSCAPING THAT'S ALREADY EXISTING ON THE SITE.

WE ARE ADDING PALMS ON EITHER SIDE AND THE HEDGE CONTINUES ALONG WITH THE HEADSETS ALREADY ON THE SITE.

AND THAT'S IT. WE ARE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CAN YOU GO BACK TO SLIDES PL PLEASE? ALL RIGHT.

THE QUESTION I HAVE IS ABOUT THIS DRIVE AISLE.

IF IN THE REVISED CONFIGURATION YOU SAID THEY WOULD BACK UP TO UP WHATEVER'S IN THE COMPRESSOR OR WHATEVER.

THE TRUCK ISN'T LONG ENOUGH THAT IT'S GOING TO ALSO BLOCK THE

OPPOSITE COMING TRAFFIC? >> NO.

I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE -- AND. >> ITS DIAGONAL.

I AM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THEY MAINTAIN THE DIAGONAL.

>> YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE PATH. IT'S GOING TO GO UP INTO THE DRIVE AISLE AND BACK INTO IT AT AN ANGLE.

SO IT WILL BLOCK THE DRIVE AISLE FOR THE TIME THAT IT'S THERE, BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE I'M TOLD ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES TO PICK UP AND LEAVE. BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE BLOCKING ANY OF THE TRAFFIC GOING ACROSS.

>> UNDERSTOOD. ARE THEY PLANNING TO DO THE PICKUPS AT THE SAME TIME ON WHATEVER DAYS IT IS? IS IT GOING TO BE A MAINTAIN SCHEDULE?

>> IT IS A PRIVATE PROVIDER, SO WE HAVE A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY TO COORDINATE WITH THAT. I KNOW WE WERE GIVEN A WINDOW FROM THE CITY OF SOMETIME BETWEEN 7-4.

SO I THINK WE HAVE FLEXIBILITY TO WORK WITH THEM.

BUT I WOULD HAVE TO DEFER TO ROBIN HARTER, WHO IS ON THE CALL IN TERMS OF IF IT COULD BE THE EXACT SAME TIME EVERY WEEK.

I'M ASSUMING IT WOULD BE. >> WERE YOU ASKING ROBIN? I DIDN'T KNOW, YOU WERE LOOKING AT ME.

>> IF YOU NEED ME TO ANSWER I CAN.

>> CAN YOU SAY YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS BEFORE YOU TALK PLEASE?

>> I'M SORRY. THIS IS ROBIN HARTER WITH

[00:35:01]

AND MOST LIKELY AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

>> THAT WAS MY OTHER POINT. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY KIND OF A HIGH TRAFFIC TIME AND THAT PLAZA, AND I THINK EARLIER IN THE MORNING AND CLOSER TO LUNCH BECAUSE OF THAT FOOD ELEMENT.

I KNOW PARKLAND BAGEL CLOSES A LITTLE CLOSER TO LUNCH.

I THINK EARLIER IN THE MORNING MIGHT BE A HIGHER TRAFFIC TIME.

I WOULD SAY IF POSSIBLE LATER INTO THE AFTERNOON.

THE BUSINESSES ARE PROBABLY DONE WITH THEIR DAY AND WHATEVER.

I JUST THINK IN THE MORNING IS WHEN EVERYONE'S GETTING TO WORK

AND THE PLAZA TURNS HECTIC. >> WE CAN WORK TO DETERMINE

THAT. >> IS THERE A NOISE ORDINANCE IN PARKLAND? BECAUSE THEY CAN COME AT FIVE OR FOUR IF THEY NEED YOU. BUT IF THEY CAN'T COME UNTIL SEVEN WE MAY SAY AFTER 1:00 OR SOMETHING.

>> HERE ARE MY CONCERNS. THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION.

I HAVE A MOTION WHICH I WILL MAKE.

MY CONCERNS ARE, THIS IS A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT, WHICH MEANS ONCE WE DO IT IT IS NOT UNDOABLE. I'VE HEARD FROM NO ONE THAT WE HAVE A DEFINITIVE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM HERE.

CANDIDLY, I WENT BY THE PROPERTY I THINK YESTERDAY.

WE STILL HAVE AN ISSUE. EVEN IN ONE OF YOUR FIRST PHOTOS, THE BAY DOORS OF THE GARBAGE DUMPSTERS ARE WIDE OPEN.

IF YOU GO BACK ON THAT DRIVE AISLE AND LOOK AT EACH ONE OF THE BAYS WITH THE DUMPSTERS, WHETHER IT'S THE RECYCLING AND THE OTHERS, EVERY DOOR IS WIDE OPEN AND KEPT A WIDE OPEN THE TIME. THERE IS GARBAGE STREWN ALL OVER EVEN WHEN THE DUMPSTERS ARE EMPTY.

IRONICALLY, THE DAYS THAT I'VE BEEN BY RECENTLY, THE RECYCLING DUMPSTERS HAVE BEEN FULL AND THE OTHERS HAVEN'T.

AND THE ROADWAY IS A BIT OF A MESS.

THERE ARE CRATES OUT THERE, TANKS OF WHAT LOOKED LIKE OXYGEN, TANKS OF SOMETHING. MAY BE FROM THE SODA MACHINES OR WHATEVER. I KNOW WHEN I LISTENED TO THE MEETING ON THIS, THE LANDLORD MENTIONED THERE IS NOW A PORTER ON SITE VISITING THE PROPERTY AS OPPOSED TO NOT HAVING SOMEONE WITH BOOTS ON THE GROUND. I'VE ALSO HEARD GARBAGE IS BEING PICKED UP SIX TIMES A WEEK. WASTE MANAGEMENT TELLS ME IT'S THREE TIMES A WEEK. SO I AM CONCERNED IN GIVING A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT A GUARANTEE THAT WE ARE FIXING THE PROBLEM AND NOT CREATING ANOTHER ONE.

BECAUSE YOU ARE STILL GOING TO HAVE THE BAYS WITH THE DUMPSTERS, YOU'RE GOING TO NOW HAVE THIS COMPACTOR ON THE CORNER THAT'S GOING TO HAVE ITS DOORS OPEN, PRESUMABLY GARBAGE STREWN AROUND IT, PRESUMABLY AN AREA THAT MAY NEED TO BE CLEANED UP. WHEN WE HAVEN'T CLEANED UP THE REST OF THE PROPERTY. THOSE ARE MY CONCERNS.

WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES FOR QUITE A LONG TIME, AND WHETHER IT'S CODE ENFORCEMENT OR ANYTHING ELSE, WE LANDLORD AND ALLOW THEM TIME FOR THIS PORTER TO GET ON SITE AND START DOING SOME OF THE CLEANUPS NEEDED.

BUT I'M NOT INCLINED TO GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT UNTIL I KNOW THAT WE ARE SOLVING ALL THESE OTHER PROBLEMS. THE DOORS AS A PERPETUAL PROBLEM. THE DOORS ARE NEVER CLOSED.

SOME OF THOSE DUMPSTERS ARE IN REALLY BAD SHAPE.

THERE IS FOOD AND OTHER ITEMS ALL OVER THE FLOOR AT TIMES, GARBAGE BAGS JUST THEY ARE EVEN WHEN THE DUMPSTER IS EMPTY.

I THINK WE HAVE A BEHAVIORAL PROBLEM AS WELL AS A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ALL A GARBAGE PROBLEM OR IF THERE IS AS MUCH OF THE OTHER TWO ISSUES THAT STILL REMAIN. SO I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE DAYS SO WE ALLOW THE LANDLORD AND THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TO HAVE TIME TO SEE IF WE CAN CLEAN UP SOME OF THESE ISSUES, MAY BE HAVING A FOURTH DAY OF PICKING UP GARBAGE SOLVES THAT.

I DON'T KNOW. MY WORRY IS ONCE WE PUT THIS COMPACTOR IN THERE, NOT ONLY ARE WE TAKING UP TWO PARKING SPOTS, MOVING THE EYESORE CLOSER TO THE ROADWAY WHERE EVERYONE'S GOING TO BE SEEING IT, AND UNTIL WE CLEAN UP THE EYESORES BEHIND IT I HAVE A CONCERN THAT WE ARE NOT SOLVING A PROBLEM BUT CREATING A BIGGER ONE. I WOULD WANT TO TABLE IT.

>> CAN I SPEAK TO THAT AND MAKE A COUPLE COMMENTS? THIS IS ROBIN AGAIN. FIRST OF ALL, THIS ENTIRE PROJECT, WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE FOR THESE PROPERTY OWNERS, IS TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION HERE. THE COMPACTOR IS THE GOLD STANDARD. WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT A BETTER SITUATION. REMOVING ONE OF THE ENCLOSURES IS GOING TO ELIMINATE YOUR DOOR ISSUE.

[00:40:01]

ONLY THE TRASH TRUCK WILL HAVE ACCESS.

THE MAN DOOR ON THE SIDE IS HOW TENANTS WILL ENTER.

IT'S AN EASIER SET UP FOR THEM, THEY JUST OPEN THE DOOR AND PUT THEIR BAGS IN. WE'VE BEEN YEARS ON THIS TRYING TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION. THE PROBLEM IS NOT ENOUGH CAPACITY FOR THE AMOUNT OF TRASH GENERATED.

WHEN THE CENTER WAS BUILT, THEY DIDN'T HAVE A RESTAURANT IN EVERY SPACE. YOU HAD A BARBER AND A CARD SHOP, MAY BE A DOMINOES OR SOMETHING.

NOW IT'S ALL FOOD WASTE. THE PROPERTY IS GENERATING MORE TRASH THAN THERE IS SPACE IN THOSE TWO SMALL ENCLOSURES AND THE DUMPSTERS HAVE TO BE ON WHEELS AND WHEELED OUT.

I CAN PROMISE YOU THEY ARE GETTING SIX DAYS A WEEK.

SO I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT INFORMATION FROM WASTE MANAGEMENT. BUT THE COMPACTOR IS THE GOLD STANDARD. THIS DESIGN IS TO IMPROVE THE ENTIRE SITUATION. AND IMPROVE THE CURB APPEAL.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT THE REST OF THE BAYS ARE GOING TO REMAIN. SO THEY ARE GOING TO REMAIN, AND FOR ME EACH ONE OF THOSE BAYS, NO MATTER WHAT TIME YOU DRIVE BY, THEY ARE OPEN. IF THE DUMPSTERS ARE EMPTY THERE IS STILL DEBRIS EVERYWHERE. THE ROADWAY IN THE BACK OF THERE IS A MESS. IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE THERE IS OIL OR SOMETHING. UNTIL WE SOLVE SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS, PUTTING IT CLOSER TO WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DRIVING IN AND OUT, I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO SOLVE ANYTHING. YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE THE EYESORE ON THE BACK OF THE CENTER.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE LANDLORD AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TAKE SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE THOSE ISSUES CORRECTED AND WORK WITH OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT FOLKS. WORKING IN TANDEM TO ADDRESS ALL THE ISSUES OUT THERE BEFORE WE GO AND GIVE A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT TO TRY TO SOLVE THE OTHER PROBLEM.

>> DOES THE LANDLORD HAVE A PORTER THEY ARE NOW?

>> JUST A COUPLE THINGS TO MENTION.

THE NORTHERN ENCLOSURE THAT'S STAYING, I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PLANNING BOARD MEETING THAT THE HINGE ON THE DOOR HAD BEEN BROKEN WHICH WAS PART OF THE REASON IT WAS PROBABLY ALWAYS OPEN. I WAS TOLD THE REPAIRS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED THIS MORNING.

SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL RESOLVE PART OF THAT ISSUE.

AND THAT ENCLOSURE IS ONLY GOING TO BE RECYCLING, NO SORT OF TRASH ISSUE. THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT IS THAT PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SETS TENANT MESSAGING THAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO ROLL OUT ONCE THE COMPACTOR IS APPROVED ON THE NEW RULES, HOW TO USE IT.

THEY HAVE A WHOLE SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR VIOLATIONS.

THEY'RE GOING TO DO WRITTEN WARNINGS, TAKING PHOTOS OF THE OFFENSE, CHARTS ATTENDANCE IF THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR THE CLEANUP. THERE'S ALSO GOING TO BE AN ASSOCIATED FINE POTENTIALLY FOR TENANTS THAT DON'T COMPLY WITH PUTTING TRASH AWAY. AND ANY SORT OF PENALTIES PERMITTED UNDER INDIVIDUAL LEASES.

WE'VE ALSO COMMITTED TO ONCE -- TO PRESSURE WASH THAT AREA.

THEY DO THE PRESSURE WASHING ROUTINELY, BUT TO PRESSURE WASH BEFORE EVERYTHING GOES AND JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS UP

STANDARD. >> I TOTALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

I WENT OUT THERE ON MONDAY AND I'VE GOT PHOTOS.

THE BAY DOORS, I DON'T KNOW IF THE DOORS ON ALL THE ENCLOSURES ARE BROKEN, BUT THE BAY DOORS ON ALL OF THEM ARE OPEN AND ALWAYS OPEN EVERY TIME I'VE BEEN BACK THERE.

EVEN WHEN THE DUMPSTER IS COMPLETELY EMPTY, YOU HAVE TRASH AND CRATES AND CANISTERS OR TANKS EVERYWHERE.

I APPRECIATE, AND MAYBE WE ARE SEEING THE SAME.

IF THE LANDLORD IS DOING MESSAGING TO CLEAN UP THE PROPERTY AND GET THE TENANTS TO DO THEIR PART TO HELP MAKE THAT HAPPEN, I WANT TO SEE THAT HAPPEN BEFORE WE DO THE SITE PLAN AMENDMENT. SO FOR THAT I WOULD LOVE TO TABLE IT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME TO ALLOW THE PORTER AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TO AFFECT THOSE CHANGES SO WE GET THE BETTER BEHAVIOR AND THE BETTER OUTCOMES BEFORE WE GIVE A SITE PLAN

AMENDMENT FOR A LONG TERM ISSUE. >> I WAS JUST GOING TO HIT ON THAT NOTE QUICKL. HAVE WE GOT ANY CONFIRMATION ABOUT THIS ROLLOUT OF THE NEW POLICIES AND PROCEDURES? HAS THAT BEEN TRIED IN ANY FORM BEFORE WE WENT DOWN THE ROUTE OF THIS WHOLE CONFIGURATION? IF THE TENANTS WERE TO ACTUALLY COMPLY, LET'S SAY WE SAY, ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED, WE ARE GOING TO PUT UP A SECURITY CAMERA AND SEE WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR LEAVING FOOD AND CHARGE PENALTIES.

HAS THAT BEEN DONE, OR ARE YOU SAYING NO MATTER HOW MUCH BEHAVIORAL CHANGE WE PUT IN PLACE, THE STRUCTURE ITSELF IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE AMOUNT OF OUTPUT?

[00:45:01]

>> DEFINITELY THE LATTER. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PROJECT THAT THEY ARE UNDERTAKING, AND I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD WANT TO DO IT UNLESS THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS A CAPACITY ISSUE ON THE S SITE. CERTAINLY ONE CONCERN I HAVE WITH TABLING IT IS THEY ARE STILL THE CAPACITY ISSUE.

I KNOW ROBIN MENTIONED IT. WE CAN TRY TO HAVE THEM COMPLY BUT IF THERE IS IN NOT ENOUGH CAPACITY WE HAVE OVERFLOW ISSUES. I KNOW THERE'S A PORTION OF THIS THAT IS A HUMAN COMPONENT WHICH I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.

BUT THE OTHER PART IS THE CAPACITY, THAT YOU CAN'T DO CODE ENFORCEMENT AROUND IT IF THERE IS NOT THE CAPACITY WHICH IS WHY WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO GET THE

COMPACTOR IN PLACE. >> BEFORE WE GET TO THE NEXT SET, THAT'S EVEN WITH SIX DAYS A WEEK PICK UP?

>> I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT TOO.

DOES THE LANDLORD BELIEVE THERE ARE SIX DAYS A WEEK PICK UP? I'M TOLD BY WASTE MANAGEMENT THEY'RE COMING THREE DAYS.

>> IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE FIVE STORES COULD GENERATE ENOUGH TRASH TO BEING PICKED UP EVERY DAY EXCEPT FOR ONE DAY AND IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH. THAT'S A LOT.

>> ROBIN SAID -- >> AND I SPEAK TO THAT?

>> GO AHEAD. >> I HAVE COPIES OF INVOICES.

WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE BEING PICKED UP SIX DAYS A WEEK.

THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE CENTER WAS BUILT, THE ENCLOSURE ISN'T BIG ENOUGH FOR YOUR REGULAR 8-YARD, 8 CUBIC YARD DUMPSTER.

THEY HAVE TO BE 4-YARD DUMPSTERS ON CASTERS.

ESSENTIALLY IF YOU GO BEHIND ANY OF THE OTHER SHOPPING CENTERS THAT ARE NEWER, YOU SEE BIGGER ENCLOSURES AND BIGGER DUMPSTERS.

OR YOU SEE THESE TRASH COMPACTOR'S.

THESE TRASH COMPACTOR SO THE GOLD STANDARD.

NOT ONLY IS IT GOING TO BE CLEANER AND BETTER CURB APPEAL, IT'S ALSO GOING TO SAVE THE TENANTS MONEY BECAUSE WHAT THEY ARE PAYING RIGHT NOW IS A LOT OF MONEY WITH THE FRANCHISE RATES OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND AND WASTE MANAGEMENT.

EVERY TIME THERE IS ONE PIECE OF TRASH THAT'S OVER-THE-TOP THEY GET AN OVERAGE CHARGE WHICH IS EXTRA.

WITH THE COMPACTOR, THEY WON'T GET THAT.

IT HAS THE CAPACITY TO HANDLE AS MUCH TRASH AS THEY CAN POSSIBLY MAKE. THAT'S WHY WE ARE GOING THIS

ROUTE. >> WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE OTHER ITERATIONS, MY HOPE WAS THAT WE COULD PUT THE COMPACTOR BEHIND THE BUILDING IN THE DRIVE AISLE OR SOMEWHERE OUT OF SIGHT. I KNOW YOU TRIED TO WORK ON THAT AND I GUESS ULTIMATELY THAT WASN'T FEASIBLE.

BUT THAT TO ME WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED MANY OF THESE ISSUES, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A MESS FOR A WHILE BACK THERE.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT THE COMPACTOR BACK THERE, MAYBE THAT WILL SOLVE IT. BUT I'VE GOT PHOTOS, AND WHAT I'VE GONE THERE AND VISITED EVEN WHEN THE DUMPSTERS ARE EMPTY YOU HAVE GARBAGE EVERYWHERE, BAY DOORS WIDE OPEN.

I JUST DON'T SEE THE COMPACTOR SOLVING THAT PROBLEM.

AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND, YOU ARE STILL GOING TO HAVE RECYCLING BINS IN THOSE BAYS, STILL RECYCLING BACK THERE, AND YOU ARE STILL GOING TO HAVE THE TENANTS REQUIRED TO GO FURTHER TO DROP OFF THE TRUST OF THE COMPACTOR ON THE CORNER RATHER THAN RIGHT BEHIND THEIR SPACE. I HAVE CONCERNS THAT WE ARE NOT ADDRESSING SOME OF THE CORE ISSUES HERE.

EVEN WHEN THE DUMPSTERS APPEAR TO BE EMPTY OR HAVE A LOT OF CAPACITY WE STILL HAVE GARBAGE EVRYWHERE.

I'D LIKE TO SEE ALL THOSE MEASURES IN PLACE.

WHETHER IT'S 30 DAYS OR 60. >> IF IT'S A CAPACITY ISSUE, THEN IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE A MESS BECAUSE THERE'S A CAPACITY

ISSUE. >> BUT IT'S A MESS EVEN WITH THE DUMPSTERS ARE EMPTY OR HAVE CAPACITY.

>> IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE BAGS OUTSIDE BECAUSE THEY WERE FULL. IF THERE IS INDEED A CAPACITY ISSUE, THAT'S WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO SOLVE.

>> YOU ARE SAYING EVERY DAY THE PICKUP IS AT FULL CAPACITY?

>> I DON'T GO TO THE SITE EVERY DAY.

I DON'T KNOW EVERY DAY IF IT'S FULL BUT EVERY DAY THERE'S A CAPACITY ISSUE OVERALL. BUT IN THE SCOPE OF THE WEEK, THERE'S A CAPACITY ISSUE FOR HOW MUCH TRASH IS GENERATED BY THOSE TENANTS IN TERMS OF PICK UP SIX OR SEVEN TIMES A WEEK VERSUS HOW MUCH SPACE ARE IN THE DUMPSTERS THAT ARE THERE.

>> BUT AGAIN, CAPACITY, SOMETIMES PEOPLE PUT STUFF THAT SHOULD BE IN RECYCLING IN THE GARBAGE.

OR YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE YESTERDAY.

THERE'S REASONS BEHIND IT. I GET IT'S A PROBLEM.

BUT I THINK TO THE VISE MAYOR'S POINT, THIS IS A SOLUTION THAT STILL REQUIRES HUMAN ELEMENTS. IT'S NOT LIKE JUST AN AUTOMATIC AI. IT'S THE PEOPLE.

IF THE PEOPLE ARE STILL GOING TO DO THE SAME BEHAVIOR, EVEN IF THEY GO THROUGH A SIDE DOOR. WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE

COMPACTING? >> THE COMPACTOR IS AUTOMATIC.

[00:50:03]

>> I JUST DOES IT ALL DAY? >> I ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE DUMPSTER, THERE'S BIG GATES.

>> YOU SAID THOSE WOULD BE LOCKED.

>> BUT JUST IN TERMS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR AND WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, GOING OUT TO A DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE, LIFTING UP THE THING IS A TEDIOUS PROCESS. THE COMPACTOR IS A MUCH SMALLER DOOR. YOU OPEN UP THE DOOR, THERE'S A LOCKED HANDLE, YOU PUT THE TRASH CAN, CLOSE IT AND THE COMPACTOR RUNS. IT'S NOT CONTINUOUS.

IT'S JUST ONCE IT'S CLOSED AFTER YOU OPEN IT AND CLOSE IT.

>> SO YOU DON'T HAVE TENANTS RESPONSIBLE.

>> AND THE COMPACTOR WON'T RUN UNLESS THE DOORS CLOSED.

>> I LIVED IN A CONDO BEFORE AND USED TO WALK OUTSIDE THE BUILDING AND YOU HAVE YOUR LITTLE THING AND OPEN IT UP.

EDIT DISAPPEARS, IT'S FANTASTIC. THE QUESTION I HAVE IS HOW BIG IS YOUR DOOR? I PICTURE PEOPLE COMING FROM OUTSIDE OF PARKLAND BAGEL OR STARBUCKS WITH THESE BIG GARBAGE BAGS. THE REASON I THINK THEY LIKE THE LIFT UP LID IS BECAUSE YOU CAN KIND OF DO THE HEAVE-HO.

I WORRY YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE PEOPLE SOLUTIONS.

UNLOCK THE STORE AND PUT THE BAGS IN.

BUT YOU STILL END UP, MAYBE IT BARRIER WALL, BUT I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET COLLECTION OF DEBRIS AND GARBAGE IN THERE THAT I THINK THE POINT IS TO TRY TO AVOID.

IF SOMEONE WALKS INTO THAT MAN DOOR IS THIS A LARGE --

>> I HAVE ABOUT 40 BY 40. >> IT'S 40 BY 40.

AND THIS ISN'T OUR FIRST COMPACTOR.

THESE COMPACTORS ARE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AT EVERY SHOPPING CENTER. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING 15 OF THEM IN TO WATERFORD LAKES UP IN ORLANDO.

AND THEY ACTUALLY ALREADY HAVE THEM, WE ARE JUST REPLACING THEM. BUT THIS IS THE GOLD STANDARD.

THIS IS HOW SHOPPING CENTERS ARE SUPPOSED TO DISPOSE OF TRASH.

>> I'M NOT TRYING TO PREVENT A SOLUTION FROM HAPPENING.

BUT MY WORRY IS WITHOUT THE HUMAN COMPONENT, WITHOUT GETTING THE TENANTS TO TAKE THE GARBAGE EVEN FURTHER AND CONDENSE IT TO BE ABLE TO PUT IT IN THE COMPACTOR IN A 40 BY 40 AREA IS GOING TO BE EVEN HARDER. I MISSPOKE BEFORE, IT'S NOT A MOTION. I WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO DEFER THIS FOR 30-45 DAYS SO WE ALLOW THAT PROCESSING FOR THE LANDLORD AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TO IMPLEMENT THE PROCESS TO GET THE BEHAVIOR OF THE TENANTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS BEFORE WE GO BRINGING THE GARBAGE TO THE CORNER OF THE SHOPPING CENTER.

>> OF GOING TO SECOND THAT. I ONLY SAY THAT BECAUSE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN, THIS HAS BEEN A MULTIYEAR KIND OF ISSUE. I DON'T THINK THE ISSUE HAS ALWAYS BEEN OVERCAPACITY. THE ISSUE HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN JUST THE LACK OF DILIGENCE. IT'S BECOME MORE OF A CAPACITY ISSUE NOW. BUT I THINK -- THE VISE MAYOR'S CORRECT. IF THE LANDLORD IS SAYING NOW WE ARE GOING TO PUT IN THESE NEW MEASURES, WE HAVE TO ASK.

WE LOOK AT OUR PYRAMID, IT'S A BIG DEAL.

WHY IS IT THAT THESE SOLUTIONS, COMING OUT OF THE NEW POLICIES, WHY NOW? WHY NOT TRY THAT BEFORE WE GET TO THIS EXTREME EXTENSIVE SOLUTION OR ALTERNATIVE?

>> MY CONCERN AGAIN IS THE CAPACITY IF WE TRY THIS FOR 30-45 DAYS AND DON'T SEE AN IMPROVEMENT.

IF WE ARE GOING TO GET INTO A CIRCULAR SITUATION HERE.

BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT. >> I'M ASKING MORE HISTORICALLY WHY THAT HASN'T BEEN TRIED BEFORE.

>> HISTORICALLY THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TURNOVER WITH PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. IN THE SPAN OF TIME I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS, THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN AT THE CITY FOR TWO PLUS YEARS, PROBABLY MORE THAN THAT.

I'VE BEEN INVOLVED FOR THE LAST YEAR OF IT AND IN THAT SPAN I THINK I'VE ALREADY WORKED WITH TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT PROPERTY MANAGERS. THERE WAS A LOT OF TURNOVER, COMPANY MERGERS. SO NOW THEY ARE AT A PLACE WHERE THEY HAVE A COMMITTED PERSON IN PLACE.

IN THE PAST HISTORICALLY THERE WAS COMPANY TURNOVER AT THAT JUST WASN'T MANAGING AT A FOCUSED LEVEL.

>> ROBIN SAID THIS WOULD BE CHEAPER.

DOES SHE HAVE A NUMBER? >> I HAVE A NUMBER.

THESE ARE APPROXIMATE NUMBERS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT'S BASED OFF OF WEIGHT. RIGHT NOW THE TENANTS ARE PAYING ABOUT $11,000 A MONTH FOR THE TRASH.

WHEN YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE COMPACTOR, THIS IS JUST APPROXIMATE BASED OFF OF A CUBIC YARD AND ESTIMATED WEIGHT.

IT WILL GO DOWN TO ABOUT 5700. SO IT'S A SAVINGS OF ABOUT $5400

A MONTH BALLPARK. >> THAT'S 11,000 FOR THE ENTIRE

PLAZA. >> $11,236.

>> ARE THE TENANTS PAYING ON PER WEIGHT OR ARE THEY ALL EQUAL?

[00:55:01]

>> THEY ARE NOT EQUAL. THERE'S DIFFERENT CHARGES FOR THE DIFFERENT TENANTS. THEIR RELATIVELY THE SAME.

>> I WAS GOING TO ASK. IF SOMEONE IS A HIGHER VIOLATOR

-- >> THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.

>> ARE THERE ANY TENANTS WHO ARE AT HIGHER OFFENDERS? MEANING, I THINK THE CONCERN ISN'T JUST ABOUT OVERCAPACITY.

IT'S THE FACT -- I KNOW IT MAKES MORE SENSE, HEARING THE BACKGROUND ABOUT THE MANAGER AND THE TURNOVER.

BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE NO ONE HAS THE BEST INTERESTS TO KEEP IT CLEAN. YOU COULD PUT IN WHATEVER TECHNOLOGY YOU WANT, BUT WITHOUT THE WILL THERE'S NO WAY.

I THINK 30 DAYS, I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT LONG AFTER WAITING THIS TIME. I THINK IT'S FAIR FOR US AS A CITY TO SAY BEFORE WE GIVE THE SOLUTION THAT'S THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION, LET'S MAKE SURE THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE --

>> I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT YOU, BUT WITH THE DEFERMENT WOULD THAT BE DEFERRED TO A DATE CERTAIN?

>> I WOULD RECOMMEND TO A DATE CERTAIN SO THAT THE NOTICE CAN BE MAINTAINED. I WAS JUST TALKING TO THE CITY CLERK ABOUT THE NEXT FEW MEETINGS.

LOOKS LIKE APRIL 16TH OR MAY SIXTH? EXCUSE ME, APRIL 15TH OR MAY SIXTH.

>> ONE OF THE DAYS IN MAY, GIVE THEM 45 DAYS OR SO.

THAT WOULD GIVE THEM ENOUGH OPPORTUNITY TO IMPLEMENT THESE PROCEDURES AND SEE A RUN OF 30 SOME ODD DAYS.

AND I WOULD ASK, WHETHER IT'S THE CAPTAIN FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT OR WHATEVER TO WORK WITH THEM. I DON'T MEAN TO SAY, BUT WORK WITH THEM TO IDENTIFY WHAT ISSUES NEED TO BE CORRECTED SO THEY CAN BOTH ADVISE THE PROPERTY MANAGER, THE PORTER, AND THE TENANTS TO TRY TO GET THOSE ISSUES CORRECTED IN THAT

TIME. >> I SECOND WITHOUT AMENDMENT.

>> WITH THAT MAY SIXTH, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION?

A LITTLE MORE THAN 45 DAYS. >> EITHER ONE ARE FINE WITH ME.

DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE? >> YOU'VE BEEN QUIET.

IT IS YOUR DISTRICT. YOUR DIRTY DISTRICT.

>> IN A PERFECT WORLD WE COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND CREATE A TENANT MIX WHICH DOESN'T CREATE AS MUCH DISPOSABLE TRASH.

BUT THAT SHIP HAS OBVIOUSLY SAILED.

THERE IS A PROBLEM. IT'S A CLEAR PROBLEM.

I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW LOSING A BAY, WHEN THERE IS ONLY TWO, AND HAVING IT BE ONLY RECYCLING AND THE OTHER BAY WOULDN'T IMPROVE IT IN SOME CAPACITY. JUST THOSE TWO THINGS.

IF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND THE ONLY OPENING IS A DOOR.

BUT I'VE USED A COMPACTOR LIKE THIS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT. IT IS MUCH CLEANER LOOKING, CLOSED OFF, THERE'S NOT A LOT TO DO.

MY BIGGER CONCERN IS WHAT YOU BROUGHT UP BEFORE WHICH IS THE TRAFFIC PATHWAY THE TRUCK WAS PLANNING ON TAKING AROUND THE GAS STATION, WHICH CAN BE AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER OF TRAFFIC.

THAT'S A CONCERN I HAVE, BUT THAT COULD BE WORKED AROUND WITH TIMING. I HAVE NO PROBLEM DEFERRING IT FOR 45 DAYS TO SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME MOVEMENT ON THE HUMAN VERSION OF THIS TO IMPROVE BEHAVIOR TO SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE A TENABLE SOLUTION. BUT A SOLUTION HAS TO HAPPEN.

THE WAY IT IS NOW IS NOT SOMETHING TENABLE.

>> LET'S MAKE IT THE MAY 20TH DATE.

THIS WAY THEY CAN ROLL OUT THE MESSAGING TO THE RESIDENT --

TENANTS AND GO FROM THERE. >> IF IT'S THE WILL OF THE COMMISSION I'M FINE DEFERRING IT.

IF IT TRULY IS A CAPACITY ISSUE, AND THIS OPTION WILL SAVE THE RESIDENT'S MONEY, IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE DEFERRING IT --

>> CAPACITY IS JUST ONE OF THE ISSUES.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT JUST THIS AGENDA ITEM BUT WE ALL ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THERE'S OTHER ISSUES.

>> I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

HOWEVER, IF YOU GET SOMETHING NEW, YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO UPKEEP IF THERE IS TRULY A CAPACITY ISSUE.

AND I DO KNOW THESE DUMPSTERS. TO LIFT UP THE LIDS, IF YOU ARE A SMALL PERSON, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO LIFT UP WHEN IT'S CLOSED. TO TRY TO GET THAT LAID OPEN AND THROW A GARBAGE BAG IN THEIR, THEN CLOSE THE LID, NOT EVERYONE

CAN DO THAT. >> I TOTALLY GET THAT.

IF IT WAS JUST A LIDS OPEN I'D BE FINE WITH IT.

BUT YOU ALSO HAVE THE BAY DOORS THAT ARE NEVER CLOSED, SOME OF THEM NOT WORKING, APPARENTLY. AND YOU ARE LOSING TWO OF THOSE

BAY DOORS. >> SO THEY ARE GETTING REMOVED.

>> FOR ME IF IT TRULY IS A CAPACITY ISSUE, LOOK.

[01:00:01]

IF WE FIND OUT IN 45 DAYS, WE ARE STILL SAVING THE TENANTS MONEY, SAVING 50% ON THEIR GARBAGE WHICH IS NOT AN INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. AND WE KNOW THERE WON'T BE A CAPACITY ISSUE. THESE COMPACTORS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER TO USE, WHICH WOULD ALLOW EASIER BEHAVIOR. I'M JUST THROWING IN MY TWO CENTS. I'M HAPPY TO GO WITH THE DEFERMENT AS WELL, JUST POINTING SOME THINGS OUT.

>> IS THERE A CAMERA CURRENTLY POINTED AT THE BASE? -- BEIS? I'D BE WILLING TO WAGER THAT IF TENANTS KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO BE FIND THEIR EMPLOYEE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ONE WHO LEAVES THE GATE OPEN OR LEAVES TRASH OUTSIDE, BEHAVIOR IS GOING TO CHANGE.

I JUST WANT TO SEE SOME MORE COMMITMENT FROM MANAGEMENT AND THE LANDOWNER TO SAY THAT THERE ARE OTHER LESS EXTREME ALTERNATIVES FOR THE GOLDEN STANDARD.

I'M SURE IT'S AN IMPRESSIVE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY.

BUT EVEN TO YOUR POINT, TO SAY THAT SOMEONE HAS A HARD TIME BEING ABLE TO LIFT TRASH OVER THEIR HEAD, WE AREN'T EXACTLY TALKING ABOUT TOO MUCH DIFFERENCE.

>> THOSE LIDS ARE VERY DIFFICULT.

>> I'M SURE THERE'S BENEFITS TO THIS.

IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T SEE BENEFITS TO THIS.

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE CHANGE CONTROL.

HOW DO PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOR? IF WE DO IT IN A REGULAR SCHEDULE.

NEXT, PEOPLE WILL START TO CATCH ON.

THE TENANTS WILL KNOW, THIS IS WHEN YOU TAKE THE TRASH OUT.

IT WILL TAKE TIME. BUT UNTIL WE CAN AT LEAST HAVE THAT IT'S HARD TO GET A NEW STRUCTURE TO BEHAVE YOUR ORDER WHEN PEOPLE HAVEN'T CHANGED THE BEHAVIOR THAT STARTED THE

PROBLEM. >> ESPECIALLY ASKING THEM TO TAKE IT FURTHER AWAY. ASKING ALL THE TENANTS, INCLUDING THE ONES ON THE NORTH END TO TAKE IT DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND TO PUT IN THE COMPACTOR WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE GOOD BEHAVIOR NOW WITH DUMPSTERS RIGHT BEHIND. IT'S JUST GOING TO MAKE IT WO

WORSE. >> I'M SURE SOME PEOPLE TAKE OUT FROM THE BACK OF THEIR BAY OR WHATEVER.

WHAT'S THE WIDTH OF THAT DOOR? >> WHICH GARBAGE CAN, THE

DUMPSTER? >> THE WIDTH OF THE MEN DOOR TO

GET INTO THE COMPACTOR. >> I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER.

>> 4 FEET, 4 INCHES. >> SO THAT'S NOT A LIMITING

FACTOR OF HOW PEOPLE USE -- >> I'LL JUST SAY, IT'S A

STANDARD SIZE. >> THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS BEEN CONSULTING WITH EVERY TRASH EXPERT FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND DETERMINED THIS IS THE BEST PATH TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT HUMAN BEHAVIOR IS HUMAN BEHAVIOR NO MATTER WHAT PLAZA AROUND THE COUNTRY YOU ARE AT.

I'M SURE THERE'S TRASH AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR ISSUES EVERYWHERE YOU GO. IN TERMS OF CAPACITY WITH TENANTS, THIS IS WHAT HAS BEEN DECIDED AS THE BEST SOLUTION IN CONSULTATION WITH THE EXPERTS. THE DOOR IS THE STANDARD SIZE.

BUT WE ARE HAPPY -- >> I'M GOING TO DEFER TO COMMISSION HCOMMISSION HER COUNA REPRESENTATIVE ON THIS.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DID NOT KNOW.

UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY DIFFERING OPINIONS STRONGLY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

SO WE WILL MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION.

>> I'M FINE WITH THE DELAY, BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE EVENTUAL PASSAGE OF THIS.

>> OKAY. I'VE GOT A MOTION THOUGH SHE WAS FIRST? MOTION FROM VICE MAYOR BRIER AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ISROW. IS THERE ANY WORD FROM THE PUBLIC? WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER GARBAGE

EXPERT IN THE AUDIENCE WITH US. >> BEFORE YOU VOTE, JUST TO CLARIFY THE MOTION IS TO DEFER THE ITEM TO THE MAY 20TH CITY

COMMISSION MEETING. >> CORRECT.

>> WE HAVE NO ONE FROM THE PUBLIC, SO WE WILL ROLL CALL.

>> COMMISSIONER MURPHY-SALOMONE. >> YES.

I JUST WANT TO STATE THAT I DO THINK GETTING THESE TENANTS ADD UP PLACE, UNDERSTANDING IT'S NOT GOING TO BE OVERNIGHT THAT WE SEE IMPROVEMENT. IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE IN THIS TIME PERIOD BUT I DO THINK THE ORDER OF THINGS MAKES SENSE, KNOWING THAT IT WILL NOT SPIN OR CIRCLE.

[01:05:06]

WITHIN THIS TIME PERIOD. BUT I DO SUPPORT IT.

THANK YOU. >> COMMISSIONER ISROW.

>> YES. >> COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN.

>> YES. >> VICE MAYOR BRIER.

>> YES. >> MAYOR WALKER.

>> YES. PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES

UNANIMOUSLY. >> ITEM 9E, RESOLUTION 2026-026.

BSO RESIDENT -- POLICE SERVICES AGREEMENT.

THE RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA, APPROVING AN AGREEMENT FOR POLICE SERVICES WITH THE SHERIFF OF BROWARD COUNTRY FOR A FIVE-YEAR TERM WITH ONE FIVE-YEAR RENEWAL OPTION, AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF THE AGREEMENT, PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

>> JACKIE WEI MEYER, SERENE YOUR -- SENIOR DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS. BEFORE YOU IS THE AGREEMENT WITH BSO FOR POLICE SERVICES. THIS CONTRACT WAS EXTENDED BY SIX MONTHS. IT HAD OTHERWISE EXPIRED OCTOBER FIRST OF 2025. BUT PRIOR TO THAT TIME PERIOD, WE BEGAN NEGOTIATING WITH BSO, AND BSO WAS VERY RESPONSIVE BUT THERE WERE SEVERAL ASKS THAT THE CITY THAT WERE FAIR, BUT WE DID NOT RECEIVE AS PART OF OUR NEGOTIATIONS.

THE MAJOR CHANGE IN THE CONTRACT, AS YOU WILL SEE, IS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SALARY STUDY INCREASES.

BSO HAD NOT DONE A SALARY STUDY, SO THEY HAD A LITTLE CATCHING UP TO DO WITH THEIR EMPLOYEES. SO THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED THE SALARY INCREASES DUE TO THE ISSUE THAT THEY ARE HAVING WITH BROWARD COUNTY AND THEIR BUDGETING.

THAT'S NOT THE STATE LEVEL TO DECIDE.

IN GOOD FAITH THE CITY HAS PAID THE AMOUNT OF THE SALARY INCREASES NEVERTHELESS. THIS CONTRACT LANGUAGE STATES THAT IF THE SALARY INCREASES ARE NOT IMPLEMENTED OR NOT IMPLEMENTED FULLY, THE CITY WILL RECEIVE A REDUCTION OR CREDIT FOR PAYING THOSE IN ADVANCE. THE YEAR TWO SALARY INCREASES ARE PROJECTED AT 9.95%, UNDER% THE SAME CONSIDERATION IF THOSE SALARY STUDY INCREASES ARE NOT IMPLEMENTED THAT THE CITY WOULD RECEIVE THAT MONEY BACK. SO THE YEAR ONE COST FOR THE CONTRACT IS JUST SHY OF $14 MILLION AT 13,995,445.

HE KEEPS THE SAME STAFFING LEVELS AT 56 AND IT IS A FIVE-YEAR CONTRAT WITH AN OPTION FOR ONE FIVE-YEAR RENEWAL. SOME OF THE OTHER TERMS OF THE CONTRACT YOU WILL SEE ARE THAT CAPITAL AND OPERATING EXPENSES ARE AT A 5% CAP. THERE IS NO CAP ON WORKER'S COMP., POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, HEALTH INSURANCE OR RETIREMENT, BUT THEY WOULD ALL HAVE TO BE PROVEN WITH DOCUMENTATION AT THE CITY'S REQUEST. AS WE LIKE TO CONTINUE THE EXCELLENT SERVICE PROVIDED BY THAT TEAM, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING

A RENEWAL OF THE CONTRACT. >> OKAY.

I'M GOING TO JUST MAKE A COUPLE COMMENTS IF I COULD.

I DO WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE CAPTAIN.

I HAVE FULL FAITH AND HER TEAM. SO I DO APPRECIATE THAT.

JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY FOR SOME RESIDENTS, WE HAD DONE A STUDY IN THE PAST AND WE LOOKED AT MOVING TO OTHER PLACES. OUR CONSULTANT AT THAT TIME, THIS IS GOING BACK A COUPLE YEARS, RECOMMENDED WE STAY WITH BSO. I AGREE WITH THAT AT THE TIME, AND I STILL AGREE WITH THAT TODAY.

TRYING TO START YOUR OWN POLICE DEPARTMENT IN A CITY OF OUR SIZE IS EXTREMELY COSTLY. WE HAVE LIMITED OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH OR OUR OFFICERS, SO IT WOULD BE HARD TO GET THE TOP-NOTCH PEOPLE, YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET PROMOTED AND TRANSFERRED ELSEWHERE. AND IF YOU ARE TRYING TO HIRE NEW OFFICERS RIGHT NOW, HIRING OFFICERS IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

IT'S HARD FOR FIRE DEPARTMENTS, WHICH I WAS KIND OF AMAZED ABOUT BECAUSE PEOPLE STILL LIKE FIREFIGHTERS.

UNFORTUNATELY RIGHT NOW BEING IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, THAT'S NOT A JOB LIKE IT WAS BACK WHEN I WAS GROWING UP.

WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, MOST PEOPLE WANTED TO BE A COP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. NOWADAYS WITH SOCIAL MEDIA AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT, IT'S BECOME A VERY DIFFICULT PROFESSION. SO I APPLAUD AND APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO GOES INTO THAT. TRYING TO START OUR OWN POLICE DEPARTMENT IN MY OPINION IS A NONSTARTER.

YOU HEAR ON SOCIAL MEDIA EVERYONE'S GOT GREAT IDEAS.

I RESPECT CORAL SPRINGS TREMENDOUSLY.

I THINK THEY HAVE A FANTASTIC POLICE DEPARTMENT.

[01:10:03]

THEREFORE WE ARE LEFT WITH BSO. AND IT'S NOT A BAD THING.

I THINK BSO DOES A FANTASTIC J JOB.

BUT I DO WANT TO STRAY FROM THAT JUST FOR A SECOND.

I DID TRY TO REACH OUT TO THE SHERIFF EARLIER.

I WANT TO MAKE A SMALL STATEMENT NOT JUST FOR THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO HAD LOVED ONES KILLED IN A TRAGEDY, BUT ALSO FOR OUR COMMUNITY. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S UNDERSTATED, BECAUSE THAT LAWSUIT HAS YET TO COME TO ITS RESOLUTION, THAT MEANS WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR THIS TRIAL TO HAPPEN. IT'S DIFFICULT, AS ALL THE OTHER TRIALS OF GOING ON THROUGH THIS TRAGEDY, IT REOPENS WOUNDS NOT JUST WITH THE FAMILIES. THEY HAVE TREMENDOUS LAWS AND TREMENDOUS PAIN AND THAT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.

BUT IT ALSO DEEPLY AFFECTS OUR COMMUNITY.

WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR THE FINALITY OF WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE. I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY.

THERE IS ONLY FOUR ATTORNEYS I LIKE, AND ALL FOUR ARE SITTING HERE AND ONE IS OVER THERE. OTHER THAN THAT, I KNOW ATTORNEYS GO DO THEIR OWN THING AND DRAG THINGS OUT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY LIKE TO DO. BUT IT DOES WAY ON OUR COMMUNITY. NOT JUST THE FAMILIES.

IT WEIGHS ON US. BECAUSE WHEN THAT TRIAL DOES COME, IT OPENS UP ALL THOSE WOUNDS AGAIN.

THE LONGER WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THAT, THE LONGER WE HAVE TO WAIT. AND THE WAITING IS HARD.

SO THIS IS NOT JUST A PLEA FOR THE FAMILIES BUT ALSO FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THAT WE DO WHAT WE CAN.

I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO THE LEGALITIES, AND EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN THINGS THEY NEED TO DO AND I CAN APPRECIATE THAT.

BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE FAMILIES THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THIS.

IT'S ALSO OUR COMMUNITY. SO WE ARE WAITING FOR THIS FINALITY AND FOR THIS RESO RESOLUTION.

AND WHEN THIS TRIAL DOES COME IT WILL REOPEN WOUNDS NOT JUST IN THE FAMILIES BUT TO OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

I AM POOR SHERIFF TONY AND BSO TO DO WHAT THEY CAN TO GET THIS FINISHED. FOR ALL OF US.

FOR THE CITY OF PARKLAND, FOR THE FAMILIES, FOR EVERYBODY.

AND AGAIN, I APPRECIATE SHERIFF TONY.

I TEXTED HIM A COUPLE TIMES YESTERDAY.

WE DIDN'T GET TO CONNECT, JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE HE KNEW I WAS GOING TO MAKE SOME SORT OF STATEMENT.

BUT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO SEE THIS RESOLUTION.

WHATEVER WE CAN DO ON OUR SIDE, I'M NOT GOING TO HOLD UP THIS CONTRACT APPROVAL BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.

PUBLIC SAFETY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE DO AS AN ELECTED BODY. SO I'M NOT GOING -- I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NOTHING TO JEOPARDIZE THAT.

I WILL APPROVE THE CONTRACT AS IT IS AND AGAIN, I DO APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS, CAPTAIN AND ALL YOUR MEN AND WOMEN IN THE PARKLAND DISTRICT AND BSO AS A WHOLE.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS,

QUESTIONS? >> I DO.

I APPRECIATE ALL THE MAYOR'S COMMENTS AND ECHO THOSE.

ONE OF MY CONCERNS, I APPRECIATE OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE, GREEN, DARK GREEN. BUT THE STAFFING ISSUES ARE CONCERNING. I KNOW WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT SALARY IS A COMPONENT WHICH HAS HAMPERED OUR ABILITY TO GET TO THE FULL STAFFING WE NEED, BUT I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO ADDRESS THOSE STAFFING SHORTAGES.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES OR SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OUR FIREFIGHTERS AS WELL.

SO I DON'T KNOW ALL THE REASONS WHY, BUT I KNOW WE'VE BEEN TOLD COMPENSATION IS PART OF IT, SO MY HOPE IS THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THOSE STAFFING SHORTAGES SO THAT WE GET TO THE

FULL LEVEL WE NEED. >> I'M GOING TO ECHO THAT AS WELL. I THINK ALL OF US HAVE BEEN GRATEFUL TO BSO AND THEIR SERVICE.

OUR HOPE IS TO CONTINUE THAT. ONE OF THE CONCERNS WE HAVE IS WE SIT HERE AND TALK ABOUT WITH THE STATE IS GOING TO DO, WHAT THE PROPERTY TAXES, AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S GOING TO BE CONSIDERATIONS WITH MEANING YOU CAN NO LONGER GO BELOW, A

[01:15:09]

>> I DON'T THINK WE HAVE SHORTAGES IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND, AS FAR AS STAFFING GOES.

I THINK LAW ENFORCEMENT IN GENERAL TRYING TO HIRE HAS ISSUES. I DON'T WANT RESIDENTS TO THINK THAT WE HAVE SHORTAGES IN THE CITY OF PARKLAND, BECAUSE WE DO NOT. WHEN THINGS ARISE, AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL OBVIOUSLY NEED TO ADDRESS IN STRATEGIC PLANNING WHICH WE ALWAYS DO, DOES THE CITY OF PARKLAND WANT MORE OFFICERS ON THE STREETS. I DON'T WANT RESIDENTS TO THINK THAT WE ARE NOT STAFFED AT OUR LEVELS.

>> I AM SAYING THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE WHO AREN'T ABLE TO COVER CERTAIN SHIFTS, JUST JUST REALITY.

WE CAN SIT HERE AND CONTRACT FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEOPLE, BUT IF THOSE PEOPLE AREN'T ABLE TO SHOW UP SOME DAYS.

>> WE ARE FULLY STAFFED ON THE ROAD AND IN OUR SCHOOLS.

SO WE HAVE A MINIMUM STAFFING OF FIVE DEPUTIES AND A SERGEANT EVERY SHIFT. AND OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE 13 SROS AND WE ARE STAFFED EVERY DAY WITH THAT NUMBER 24/7.

SO THERE ARE NO SHORTAGES WHEN IT COMES TO THAT.

WE DO HAVE VACANCIES ON STAFF, AND THAT COMES WITH THE HIRING PROCESS, OBVIOUSLY THE SALARY STUDY IS SET TO IMPROVE THAT.

BUT WE ARE FULLY STAFFED EVERY HOUR OF THE DAY.

>> THAT'S A GOOD CLARIFICATION. BUT I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THE IDEA OF STRATEGIC PLANNING AGAIN, SO ADDING ADDITIONAL MEMBERS OF THE FORCE, PROACTIVE POLICING AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ABOUT THE ZONING, THE QUADRANTS OF HOW YOU GUYS CURRENTLY STAFFED.

DO YOU ENVISION THIS EVOLVING? WE ARE TALKING NOW ABOUT THE VILLAGE IN THE PARK. 36-ACRE PARK.

THERE'S GOING TO BE INCREASED NEEDS.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHY WE HAVE THIS CONVERSATION, WHETHER IT'S THE FLEX OR WHAT WE DO WITH SPECIAL DETAIL AND WE ARE ABLE TO PAY HOURLY, WHATEVER IT IS, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. BECAUSE IF YOU ARE ALREADY SAYING WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL MANPOWER NOW WITHOUT THOSE KIND OF COMPONENTS ON THE GRID, I DON'T WANT TO LOCK US INTO A POSITION WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO GO ABOVE BUT NOT LOWER.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL THIS IS BEING CONSIDERED AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS IN TERMS

OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. >> AND THAT'S SOMETHING I'M LOOKING TO THE FUTURE. CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD WITH THE CITY MANAGER IN TERMS OF REZONING, OBVIOUSLY WHEN CONSTRUCTION HAPPENS ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY.

THOSE ARE ALL THINGS WE ARE LOOKING.

LOOKING AT POSSIBLY A SUBS SUBSTATION, MAY BE THE HOME OF OUR REALTIME CRIME CENTER. SO WE ARE FORWARD THINKING AND WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING WITH CITY STAFF.

IN TERMS OF ADDING STAFFING, YOU CAN DO THAT AT ANY TIME.

IT'S NOT NECESSARILY WHEN A CONTRACT RENEWS.

>> BUT I MEAN, WE CAN ADD IT ANY TIME.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS TO TRY TO FIND THE STRUCTURE IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T LOCK US INTO A BASELINE PRICE WHILE STILL ALLOWING US THE FLEXIBILITY. I THINK THE CONCERN IS THE UNKNOWN. WE CAN'T ALL CONTRACT WITH THE UNKNOWN. BUT THERE ARE WAYS TO AT LEAST GIVE US SOME FLEXIBILITY TO KNOW THAT IF WE DON'T NEED THAT FULL AMOUNT OF STAFFING FOR WHATEVER REASON THAT WE ARE NOT PAYING

FOR IT. >> WE DO THAT NOW.

I SPEAK WITH THE CITY MANAGER, WE STAFF OPERATIONS OUT OF A DIFFERENT BUDGET. SO WE DO HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY.

>> AND THE LAST THING, I WOULD ECHO THE MAYOR'S STATEMENT.

OBVIOUSLY WE CAN'T CONTROL WHAT BSO DOES FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT. BUT WE DO TALK OFTEN WHETHER IT'S REAL ESTATE OR WHATEVER PROJECT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, BEING A GOOD COMMUNITY CITIZEN. OR WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, SOMEONE WHO'S OBVIOUSLY NOT A RESIDENT HERE BUT OPERATES.

I THINK BSO IS AN HONORARY CITIZEN OF PARKLAND AT THIS POINT. ALL WE CAN DO IS ENCOURAGE AND ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF OUR RESIDENTS, THE FAMILIES, THE COMMUNITY TO SAY, LOOK, WE DO WANT TO HAVE CLOSURE AT SOME POINT AND WE RECOGNIZE THERE ARE DIFFERENT PATHS FOR DIFFERENT DOORS TO CLOSE. BUT TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILIES, THESE PEOPLE ARE FEELING PAIN ON A DAILY BASIS, WAITING AND HOPING FOR IT TO

[01:20:04]

SO TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE IN DEALING WITH THEIR COUNSEL, I RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS SOMETIMES WHERE IT'S BEYOND THE LAWYER'S CONTROL AND I ALSO RECOGNIZE TIMES WHERE IT'S DIRECTLY WITHIN THE LAWYER'S CONTROL. ALL WE ARE ASKING IS THAT REPRESENTATION, THAT MESSAGE BE SENT ALONG AND UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE NOT HERE TO PICK A SIDE OR DETERMINE WHAT THAT RESULT LOOKS LIKE, BUT YOU KNOW THAT WE ALL ARE ENTITLED TO A FINALE.

>> IF THERE IS NO OTHER COMMENTS, WE WILL GO TO THE PUBLIC. WE HAVE OUR POLICE EXPERT HERE.

>> FIRST OF ALL, JUST ONE THING I WANT TO ALERT YOU GUYS TO.

I WOULD LEAN ON JACKIE ON THIS. WE'VE ALWAYS HAD THIS WITH OUR SROS. I BELIEVE THE CURRENT CONTRACT IS UP FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD, THIS YEAR, NEXT YEAR.

WHEN I WAS PRESIDENT OF THE LEAGUE OF CITIES, I CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR IT WHICH NO ONE THOUGHT WE WOULD GET AN INCREASE LIKE WE DID. THAT'S ALSO PART OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT BUDGET. JUST UNDERSTANDING THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO ADVOCATE. ONE IS FROM AN OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT, THE OTHER FROM ELECTED TO ELECTED.

YOU GUYS DO A GOOD JOB, OBVIOUSLY WITH BOUNDARY ISSUES, BUT THE SROS OR SOMETHING THAT WHEN A CONTRAT COMES TO THE SCHOOL BOARD, TO LET THEM KNOW AGAIN, AND I SAY THIS, CITIES SHOULDN'T BE PICKING UP THE TAB FOR SOMETHING TO SCHOOL BOARD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. WE EXPANDED BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY. SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. BUT BSO HAS DONE A GREAT JOB.

AS YOU SAID, WE ARE NOT A LARGE CITY.

THE PRICE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS HAS GONE UP ALL OVER THE PLACE. I KNOW IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES, THEY HAVE CITIES WHERE ONE NEIGHBORING CITY IS COMPETING WITH THE OTHER AND ONE GIVES $5000 BONUS, THE NEXT GIVES A $6000 BONUS AND PEOPLE GO BACK AND FORTH. SO IT'S NOT UNUSUAL.

BUT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE BSO AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRING IN PEOPLE AND OBVIOUSLY PROMOTE PEOPLE, UNFORTUNATELY THEY LEAVE. CAN'T YOU KEEP PEOPLE HERE? BUT THEY DO A GREAT JOB. I WAS TALKING TO THE CAPTAIN ABOUT IT, AND SHE SAID SHE'S WAITING WAITING FOR THE GOVERNOR TO SIGN THE LEGISLATION AND THEN WE WILL MOVE FORWARD.

BUT AGAIN, THANK YOU GUYS. >> THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC? DID I GET ANY MOTIONS?

ANYBODY WANT A MOTION? >> MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER ISROW AND A SECOND BY VICE MAYOR PRIOR.

ROLL CALL. >> COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN.

>> YES. >> COMMISSIONER MURPHY-SALOMONE.

>> I'M GOING TO SAY YES WITH A COUPLE OF QUICK COMMENTS.

I APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION, MAYOR, I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. THIS IS SENSITIVE FOR NOT JUST THE FAMILIES, OTHERS WE LOST, BUT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE CAPTAIN FOR ALL YOU DO, FOR YOUR TEAMS AND ALL THAT THEY DO. I GUESS THOSE ARE MY COUPLE QUICK COMMENTS. BUT, YES.

>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. >> COMMISSINER ISROW.

>> YES. >> VICE MAYOR BRIAR.

>> YES. >> MAYOR WALKER.

>> YES. PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU.

>> ITEM 9F, ORDINANCE 2026-004, AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FIRST READING. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY A COMMISSION OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE LAND OF ELEMENT CODE BY AMENDING ARTICLE FIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL PROVISIONS, TO ADD A DEFINITION OF FAST CASUAL RESTAURANT AND AMENDING ARTICLE TEN, DIVISION 45 AND OP COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS, SECTION 10-4505, USES PERMITTED, AND ARTICLE 90, OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING, SECTION 90-530, AMOUNT OF OFF-STREET PARKING TO PROVIDE REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO FAST CASUAL RESTAURANTS PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, CONFLICTS, SEPARABILITY, AND EFFECTIVE DATE.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND.

>> ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC? ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS?

>> I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF BUSINESSES IN OUR CITY WHO WHAT I WOULD DEFINE AS

[01:25:01]

MY WORRY IS THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.

ARE WE EXPANDING OR CREATING THIS DEFINITION WHICH IS NOT A CURRENT DEFINITION RATHER THAN GO INTO A SPECIAL EXCEPTION WHERE WE HAVE GREATER LATITUDE ABOUT WHAT COMES INTO THE CITY WITHOUT ANY DOWNSIDE? I DON'T NEED TO NAME THEM BUT I THINK WE HAVE AT LEAST 4-5 IF NOT MORE PLACES IN OUR CITY THAT I WOULD ALREADY DEFINE AS FAST CASUAL.

AND WE ARE NOW HAVING ISSUES WITH GARBAGE AND OTHER ISSUES WITH BUSINESSES COMING IN, WHEREAS IF THERE'S A SPECIAL EXCEPTION, BEING THAT IT'S NOT A PERMITTED USE AS A MATTER OF RIGHT, THERE IS GREATER LATITUDE.

SO TO ME IT'S GIVING UP CONTROL WITHOUT A DOWNSIDE.

WE ALREADY HAVE A NUMBER OF BUSINESSES THAT I WOULD DEFINE AS FAST CASUAL COMING IN AS A RESTAURANT.

>> THE EXISTING PROCESS CURRENTLY DEFAULTS ANY RESTAURANT THAT ISN'T A FULL-SERVICE RESTAURANT TO BE A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT BY NATURE, WHICH IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION.

THAT'S A PROCESS THAT WE WERE TRYING TO MODIFY TO AVOID SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT HURDLES THAT COME ALONG WITH THAT.

SO THE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT CURRENTLY REQUIRE SPECIAL EXCEPTION AS SHOWN IN THE CHART HERE.

THEY ARE PERMITTED BY SPECIAL EXCEPTION IN THE B2 AND B3 NBC B3 B3 DISTRICT. BUT THAT SPECIAL EXCEPTION PROCESS IS LENGTHY AND COMES ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL APPLICATION FEES WHICH DOES DRIVE AWAY SOME OF THE INTERESTED BUSINESSES THAT WE GET CALLS ABOUT IN THE ZONING DEPARTMENT. I THINK JEAN MENTIONED AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD WE GET 4-5 A YEAR FROM DIFFERENT BUSINESSES INTERESTED IN COMING AND THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE PRETTY COMPATIBLE WITH A LOT OF THE FULL-SERVICE STYLE RESTAURANTS THAT WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH AND THEY IMMEDIATELY GO TO COCONUT CREEK OR CORAL SPRINGS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS EXPLAINED TO T THEM.

THINKING BACK ON A COUPLE YEARS AGO, MORE THAN A COUPLE YEARS AGO NOW, WHEN MICHELLE WAS WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND THE QUESTION WAS ASKED OF STRATEGIC PLANNING WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP SOME OF THE SHOPPING CENTERS BE MORE SUCCESSFUL.

THINGS LIKE BIGGER SIGNAGE, AND JOKINGLY SAID, BRING THE BUILDINGS CLOSER TO THE STREET. I THINK ALLOWING FOR THE FAST CASUAL RESTAURANT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT CAN HELP SOME OF THE CENTERS THAT MAY BE STRUGGLING WITH TENANCY WHILE ALSO MEETING SOME OF THE RESIDENT INTERESTS WITHOUT HAVING THE SAME NEGATIE IMPACTS AS A TRUE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT.

YOU WILL NOTE IN THE ORDINANCE THAT THERE IS NO DRIVE-THROUGH

IS ALLOWED WITH FAST CASUAL. >> BUT THERE ARE A FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS THAT ARE GOING TO DRIVE THROUGH LESS OR WITHOUT DRIVE THROUGH HIS. MY CONCERN IS IF WE DON'T KEEP THEM IN THE CATEGORY OF SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS, IT'S A LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. YOU'R GOING TO BE LEADING IN BUSINESSES AS A MATTER OF RIGHT THAT YOU MAY NOT WANT TO BE IN THOSE CENTERS AS OPPOSED TO PROVIDING A PATH WHICH EXISTS, AND CANDIDLY I THINK WE HAVE A NUMBER OF GOOD FAST CASUAL BUSINESS IS ALREADY IN SHOPPING CENTERS THAT ARE THRIVING AND DOING WELL AND ARE NOT A NEGATIVE FACTOR.

IF THE SYSTEM ISN'T BROKE, WHY FIX IT.

I JUST DON'T SEE THERE BEING A RATIONALE TO OPEN UP THE FLOODGATES FOR THIS WHEN IT COULD HAVE UNINTENDED

CONSEQUENCES. >> IS NOT GOING TO OPEN THE FLOODGATES, BECAUSE UNLESS THINGS GO OUT OF BUSINESS, WE DON'T HAVE MANY MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN HERE. BUT WHAT IT WILL DO IS WHEN THERE'S TURN OVER FROM ONE RESIDENCE IT WILL OPEN UP THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW PEOPLE TO COME IN.

>> THEY ALREADY HAVE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES.

>> WITH SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS. THAT GOT TO GO IN FRONT OF THE BOARD AND PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CHIPOTLES.

WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT MCDONALD'S, BURGER KING.

I THINK THE WAY TIMES HAVE CHANGED, FAST CASUAL IS A RELATIVELY NEWER TERM. SO FOR ME, THIS IS JUST KEEPING UP WITH THE TIMES AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS PARKLAND HAS TO DO SOMETIMES. YOU CAN STILL KEEP UP THE TIMES AND KEEP YOUR SAME FEELINGS AND CONTROLS AND ALL THE OTHER

THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP. >> FOR ME IT'S THE OPPOSITE.

WE ALREADY HAVE FAST CASUAL IN THE CITY, AND MAYBE THEY HAD TO PAY A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS AND GO THROUGH THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION PROCESS. BUT YOU ARE GOING TO TURN AWAY A CHIPOTLE FOR DOING THAT FOR A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS.

WHAT WE ARE DOING IS LOWERING THE STANDARDS --

>> WE AREN'T LOWERING THE STANDARD SPIRIT YOU JUST SAID WE

HAVE FAST CASUAL ALREADY. >> BUT THEY WENT THROUGH CERTAIN MECHANISMS THROUGH THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION PROCESS TO GET THERE.

[01:30:01]

>> THIS DOESN'T LOWER THE STANDARDS.

>> IT LOWERS OUR ABILITY TO PUT SPECIAL CONDITIONS.

WHETHER IT'S GARBAGE OR ANYTHING ELSE.

BECAUSE NOW THEY ARE PERMITTED AS A MATTER OF RIGHT.

>> BUT WE CAN STILL HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR GARBAGE AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT, YES, WHAT'S WRONG WITH

HAVING A BOWL THEY COME IN? >> I THINK IF WE LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL IMPETUS, THE GENESIS OF PARKLAND EVERYONE CAME OUT FOR THEIR AGRICULTURAL FARMING, ET CETERA AND WE'VE ALL AGREED I THINK TO SOME EXTENT THAT WE ALL WANT TO MAINTAIN THE CHARM.

BUT THAT'S NOT TO SAY PARKLAND HASN'T CHANGED ALREADY.

THERE IS ALREADY COMMERCIAL SPACE IN THE CITY, FAST CASUAL, TO YOUR POINT. MAYBE IT'S JUST ME HAVING YOUNG KIDS. I THINK MOST PEOPLE RIGHT NOW ARE NOT ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A SIT DOWN FULL-SERVICE GENERAL ON A WEEKNIGHT. THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THE QUICKER, ALBEIT HEALTHIER, OPTIONS. I GET YOUR POINT, VICE MAYOR.

YOU SAY YOU WORRY, YOU DON'T THINK $1000 IS GOING TO SCARE IT OFF. BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S A FINANCIAL THAT SCARES THEM. IT'S THE IDEA THAT IT'S AN EXCEPTION THAT MAY GET DENIED. DO THEY WANT TO INVEST THE TIME AND EFFORT TO THEIR EMPLOYEES TO PUT IN THE DESIGNS, THE RENDERINGS ET CETERA. I'M NOT HERE TO SAY OPEN UP THE FLOODGATES AND LET EVERYONE IN. BUT I THINK THIS HAS A DISTINCTION ENOUGH BETWEEN A GENERAL FAST FOOD WITH A DRIVE THROUGH THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IN HERON BAY OR THE PARKLAND PROJECT, AGAIN, MANIFESTING IT INTO EXISTENCE.

IF WE WANT TO DO A SMALL FOOD HALL TYPE THING.

TO ME IT GIVES AN OPPORTUNITY -- I'M GOING TO USE AN EXAMPLE.

A HOMEGROWN PARKLAND STORY. I LOVE THAT.

BUT LET'S BE REAL. IT WOULD'VE BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR A PROJECT LIKE THAT TO HAVE THAT SUCCESS STORY BUT FOR THE FACT THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY STARTED IN A GAS STATION.

BECAUSE PARKLAND HAS HIGH RENT. IT'S JUST THE REALITY OF BEING A HIGHLY DESIRABLE PLACE TO BE. SO THE MORE YOU CAN GIVE SOME FLEXIBILITY TO SOME PURVEYORS OR OPERATORS THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO FAST CASUAL WHILE STILL -- LIKE SHAKE SHACK OR SOMETHING. THIS IS A HIGH-END FAST CASUAL THAT HAS A VERY GOOD REPUTATION FOR CLEANLINESS.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO ATTRACT THOSE TYPES OF OPTIONS, PROTECTING THE COUNCIL, I GET THAT.

BUT I DO THINK MAKING A SPECIAL EXCEPTION, ALTHOUGH TO US AS NONDEVELOPERS IS LIKE, IT'S JUST ANOTHER EXTRA STEP.

TO THEM IT'S LIKE, I HAVE TO DO THIS STEP HERE BUT I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT IN CORAL SPRINGS. WHICH MY GOING TO PICK.

>> WE ALREADY HAVE THE APPROVAL WITH CERTAIN GUARDRAILS FOR THE VILLAGE, WHERE WE'VE ALLOWED I THINK ONE OF THE PERMITED USES IN THE VILLAGE DISTRICT IS FAST CASUAL.

THIS IS NOW THROUGHOUT THE CITY WITHOUT ANY OF THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION. THAT'S MY CONCERN.

>> IN THE VIP THE DECISION WAS ULTIMATELY TO MAINTAIN THE PERMITTED USE CATEGORIES, FULL-SERVICE AND FAST FOOD BUT PERMIT BOTH BY RIGHT. I BELIEVE WE DID HAVE A REQUIREMENT THAT THERE WERE NO DRIVE-THROUGH'S, BUT --

>> I THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO BE CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW TERM. AND I DON'T THINK THIS IS AN OVERLY IMPRESSIVE ORDINANCE THAT'S GOING TO EFFECTIVELY

CHANGE THE FACE. >> IF I COULD JUST KIND OF PIGGYBACK ON SOME OF THOSE COMMENTS.

I THINK THERE ARE MANY AREAS OF PARKLAND THAT I DON'T THINK -- WHAT IS IT, FAST CASUAL. WOULD NECESSARILY BE INTERESTED IN. SO IT'S GOT TO BE THE RIGHT REAL ESTATE FOR THEM. THE OTHER THING IS I THINK ABOUT THE TRASH ISSUES. THAT CAN BE GENERATED AND THAT CAN BE VERY BAD WITHOUT BEING A FAST CASUAL.

IT CAN BE AN ACTUAL RESTAURANT, OR A DELI THAT I DON'T THINK IS TECHNICALLY A FAST CASUAL. THE POINT BEING, I DON'T KNOW THAT ONE NECESSARILY GENERATES MORE OF THE TRASH.

BUT I ALSO SEE YOUR POINTS, COMMISSIONER.

THEY ARE WELL TAKEN. BUT WE WOULD MAKE SURE, THESE ARE THE BOLAYS OF THE WORLD, NOT AS SOMEONE SAID THE CHECKERS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE ONLY OTHER THING I WOULD SAY

[01:35:02]

FAST CASUAL CAN BE QUITE SUCCESSFUL AND SUSTAINABLE.

THOSE WERE MY COMMENTS ON THAT. >> DID WE GET A MOTION? ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR KAITLIN?

>> COMMISSIONER ISROW. AND SECONDED.

>> ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE THE MOTION, LIKE YOU

JUST SAID. >> COMMISSIONER ISROW.

>> YES. >> COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN.

>> YES. >> COMMISSIONER MURPHY-SALOMONE.

>> YES. >> VICE MAYOR BRIAR.

>> NO. >> MAYOR WALKER.

>> YES. PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES 4-1.

>> ITEM 9G IS 2026-27 BROWER LEAGUE OF CITIES APPOINTMENTS.

>> IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR. >> RIGHT NOW I'M THE DIRECTOR, CINDY IS THE SECOND ALTERNATE -- FIRST ALTERNATE, AND SIMEON IS A SECOND ALTERNATE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO STAY AS A

DIRECTOR. >> I'D BE HAPPY TO STAY ON IN WHATEVER CAPACITY THE COMMISSION WISHES.

I'D LIKE TO BE MORE ACTIVE WITH THE LEAGUE OF CITIES.

WHATEVER CAPACITY THAT IS. >> MOTION TO KEEP THE CAPACITIES

THE SAME. >> SECOND.

>> I ENJOY BEING THE BACKUP, AND I APPRECIATE THE ABILITY TO ATTEND FUNCTIONS AND BE INVOLVED, NOT EVEN JUST BEING AN ALTERNATE BUT WE HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY AS CITY COMMISSIONERS, AND THAT'S APPRECIATED.

I GUESS MY POINT IS, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A DIRECTOR OR ALTERNATE TO BE INVOLVED WITH THE BROWARD LAKE.

BUT I THINK... OR AS AN ALTERNATE PERHAPS WE BACK HIM UP. BUT I'M HAPPY AS THE COMMISSIONER SAID TO SERVE AGAIN AS THE ALTERNATE.

BUT I WANT THE COMMISSION TO BE COMFORTABLE.

>> OKAY. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS? WE HAVE OUR FORMER LEAGUE OF CITIES PRESIDENT IN THE AUDIENCE.

NO COMMENTS? WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE STATUS QUO. COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN.

SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER ISROW. ROLL CALL.

>> MURPHY-SALOMONE. >> YES.

>> COMMISSIONER ISROW. >> YES.

>> COMMISSIONER KANTERMAN. >> YES.

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

>> VICE MAYOR BRIAR. >> YES.

>> PLEASE SHOW IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

>> I FIRST WANT TO START SAYING THANK YOU FOR RENEWING THE CONTRACT FOR ANOTHER FIVE YEARS. IT MEANS A LOT TO MY STAFF, TO ME. IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE TAKE FOR GRANTED, PROVIDING SERVICE HERE FOR THE COMMUNITY.

WHEN YOU THINK BSO YOU THINK OF THE BIG GREEN MACHINE AND ALL THE THINGS WE DO OVER THE CO COUNTY.

BUT I TAKE PRIDE, AND I THINK YOU KNOW BY NOW, REALLY TAILORING THE WORK WE DO TO THE COMMUNITY.

IT'S NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL APPROACH THAT I USE.

EVERYTHING WE DO HERE IS TAILORED TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE RESIDENCE. SO I APPRECIATE IT AND THANK YOU

ALL FOR IT VERY MUCH. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY, CAPTAIN, I THINK THAT'S THE MOST SPECIAL PART OF WHAT WE HAVE.

MYSELF INCLUDED, I'LL ADMIT, WHEN I FIRST GOT INVOLVED HERE BSO DID FEEL LIKE A BIG GREEN MACHINE.

THAT'S ALSO BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE.

BUT THE MORE I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW THE LOCAL TEAM AND SHERIFF TONY BUT YOU GUYS PARTICULARLY, EVEN IN A RELATIVELY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. YOU'VE BEEN HERE WHAT TWO YEARS, THREE YEARS? BUT IN A RELATIVE TIME TO PUT TOGETHER DOES NOT PUT TOGETHER A FORCE BUT YOU'VE REESTABLISHED IT UNDER YOUR OWN CULTURE AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT, FOR THE TEAM FOR THE LEADERSHIP, AND OBVIOUSLY AS THE MAYOR SAID, PUBLIC SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO PARKLAND AND YOU GUYS ARE A GREAT PARTNER.

BUT WE JUST ASK THAT YOU STAY THAT WAY.

>> ARE YOU OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THE REAL GREEN MACHINE,

THE ORIGINAL GREEN MACHINE? >> NO.

I'VE HEARD ABOUT IT. READ ABOUT IN THE HISTORY BOOKS.

>> YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE DEVELOPED A GREAT CULTURE HEREIN

[01:40:01]

>> THANK YOU. >> IT'S BEEN GREAT GETTING TO KNOW YOU AND HOW YOU'RE ON THE DEPARTMENT HERE AT THE CITY OF PARKLAND. IT'S A PRETTY ECLECTIC CITY IN THE SENSE THAT IT'S GOT VERY DIFFERENT AREAS THAT REQUIRE VERY DIFFERENT THINGS. I THINK YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB IN MANEUVERING THROUGH THAT AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE ALL OUR

RESIDENTS ARE SAFE. >> THANK YOU.

>> ANY OTHER PIGGYBACKS? >> I HAVE SOME ACTIVITY FROM FEBRUARY. WE HAD A 1693 CALLS FOR SERVICE.

WE HAD 12 ARREST IN FEBRUARY, QUITE A BUSY MONTH.

39 CRASHES. 847 CITATIONS ISSUED.

THREE BAKER ACTS, 404 AREA CHECKS, AND 185 PARK WALK AND TALKS. WE HAVE AN ONGOING SPRING BREAK OPERATION CALLED OPERATION RIDE RIGHT WHERE WE ADDRESS ROAD BIKE SAFETY, E-BIKE SAFETY AND SO FAR WE'VE WRITTEN TEN E-BIKE ORDINANCE CITATIONS, ONE GOLF CART ORDINANCE CITATION, THREE CRIMINAL CITATIONS, AND TOWED TWO MOTORCYCLES.

WE MADE QUITE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN THE SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY. IT IS SOMETHING WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO AND WE TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY.

SO THAT OPERATION IS ONGOING. I WANT TO INVITE EVERYONE TO THE EMPOWERING WOMEN LUNCHEON BY THE PARKLAND CHAMBER ON TUESDAY NEXT WEEK. I ONE OF THE HOSTS, HONORED AND CHOSEN TO DO THAT. IT'S A GREAT EVENT.

I HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE THERE. AND WE HAVE A COFFEE WITH A COP COMING UP WITHIN THE FALLS COMMUNITY ON MARCH 26TH AT 10:3.

IT'S ONE OF THE POP-UP EVENTS WE DO WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES.

SO THAT'S COMING UP AS WELL. I ALSO WANTED TO TALK ABOUT OUR PROMOTIONS. WE'VE HAD SOME PROMOTIONS GOING ON, OUR CI SERGEANT WAS PROMOTED TO LIEUTENANT.

NOW SHE'S IN WESTON. WE ALSO HAD ONE OF OUR DEPUTIES, KELLY WEBB, WHO APPLIED FOR THE HOMELESS OUTREACH TEAM IN POMPANO BEACH AND SHE WAS SELECTED FOR THAT.

I THINK IT'S JUST A TESTAMENT TO THE TYPE OF EMPLOYEES WE HAVE HERE AND THE WAY WE DEVELOP OUR STAFF THAT THEY ARE SOUGHT OUT IN OTHER PLACES. WITH THAT SAID, WE DO HAVE A NIGHT SHIFT DEPUTY THAT WAS JUST SELECTED TO BE ONE OF OUR NEW SROS. WE ARE KEEPING HIM IN HOUSE, HE'S GOING TO BE STATIONED AT RIVER GLADES.

SO THAT'S A PROMOTION AS WELL. SO ALL GOOD THINGS HAPPENIG WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU.

[11. Comments by the Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department]

>> AWESOME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

COMMENTS BY THE CORAL SPRINGS-PARKLAND FIRE DEPA

DEPARTMENT. >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY.

>> GREAT TO SEE YOU. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHO THE

OLD GUY WAS. >> I AM THE OLD GUY.

FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO START BY SAYING WE ARE EXTREMELY EXCITED TO CONTINUE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH BSO.

THAT'S GREAT NEWS. WE GET ALONG GREAT AND I LOOK FORWARD TO IT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO CALL OUT A PROMOTION. AS A 4:00 TODAY, BEING THAT IT'S WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH THIS IS ANOTHER AMAZING TIME TO ANNOUNCE IT. WE HAVE SELECTED THE NEW EMS CHIEF. SHE'LL BE THE THE DIVISION CHIEF AT EMS. IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IN THE DEPARTMENT'S HISTORY OF THE WAS HELD BY A WOMAN.

AND IT'S NOT JUST ANY WOMAN. THIS WOMAN IS A JUGGERNAUT.

SHE'S ABSOLUTELY GOING TO BLOW YOUR DOORS OFF.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY WORK SO HARD.

SHE HAD A NOTEPAD AND SENT ME A PICTURE JUST NOW AND WRITTEN ON IT IT SAID, DREAM JOB. SHE'S BEEN CHASING THIS POSITION AND IT HAS ESCAPED HER A FEW TIMES, AND I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE DO SUCH A GOOD JOB AT COMING BACK AS THE TOTAL PACKAGE. THIS IS GOING TO BE HER TIME.

I CAN'T WAIT TO INTRODUCE YOU AND IT'S GOING TO BE SUPER

EXCITING. >> VERY EXCITING.

CONGRATULATIONS. >> I HAVE SOME DATA.

WHAT'S EXCITING ABOUT THIS DATA IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECIDED TO DO THIS HAPHAZARD ROLLOUT OF HOW THEY TRACK FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLS AND DATA AND JUST BASICALLY WENT "GO." THEY DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB ROLLING IT OUT AND BASICALLY CRIPPLED FIRE DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TRYING TO TRACK D DATA. LUCKILY EVERYONE'S BEING PATIENT WITH US. BUT WE NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THIS. THIS CAME BECAUSE ONE OF THE LARGEST SOFTWARE PROVIDERS HAD SOMEONE WORKING ALONGSIDE THE RAPIDLY CREATED A PATCH. THAT WAS THE LIEUTENANT WHO

[01:45:05]

FOR FEBRUARY WE HAD 197 INCIDENTS, 141 OF THOSE FIRE AND EMS. MOST OF THEM NOT EVENTFUL.

I'M AWARE OF THE ACCESS CONCERNS FOR THE TRUCK.

I'M GOING TO PERSONALLY HANDLE THOSE.

AND I WILL SEE IT THROUGH AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S DONE CORRECTLY. UNLESS THERE IS ANY OTHER ISSUES. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT RECRUITING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. NUMBER 1 I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. IT'S BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF OUR RELATIONSHIP, WE SIT ON A VERY FAIR CONTRACT THAT WE WERE JUST ABLE TO AWARD OUR PEOPLE. THAT'S POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH ALL OF OUR COMMITMENTS AND EACH OTHER.

AND NOT ONLY THAT, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE THAT PAYS MORE. BUT YOU HAVE MY COMMITMENT AND THE FIRE CHIEF'S COMMITMENT THAT WE WILL ALWAYS MAKE SURE THIS FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS A CULTURE THAT WILL MAKE THE BEST PEOPLE WANT TO COME WORK HERE. AS LONG AS THERE IS BREATH IN OUR BODY WE WILL MAKE SURE IT'S A PLACE PEOPLE WANT TO BE.

WE DON'T WANT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO CHASE THE TOP DOLLAR ANYWAY. WE WANT PEOPLE THAT WILL CHASE THE MISSION TO SERVE THE PEOPLE. WITH OUR CURRENT CLIMATE AND CULTURE, THE CONTRACT WE CAN ADVERTISE RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE PEOPLE CLAMORING TO WORK HERE SO THAT I CAN GUARANTEE YOU A STEADY STREAM OF FRESH ENERGETIC PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE HERE THAT ARE GOING TO BE BACKFILLING THESE FIRE STATIONS FOR AS LONG AS WE CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS, WHICH I HAVE A FEELING IS GOING TO BE FOREVER. I APPRECIATE IT AND IT'S GOOD TO

SEE YOU ALL. >> THANK YOU.

GREAT TO SEE YOU. >> I'VE GOT JUST A QUICK COMMENT BECAUSE I'D BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T.

YOU GIVE THE STATS, I'M GOING TO GIVE THE COLOR ANECDOTAL DATA.

COUPLE WEEKS AGO I BUSTED MY KNEE.

THE STORY IS STUPID AND IRRELEVANT.

THE POINT IS MY KNEE WAS IN AGONY.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I HAD TO CALL 9-1-1.

NEVER DID IT, HOPEFULLY NEVER HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN.

BUT HAVING THE CORAL SPRINGS-PARKLAND FIREFIGHTERS COME TO MY HOUSE, THESE PEOPLE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT CULTURE, IT'S NOT LIKE SOMEONE GOING TO A DRIVE THROUGH AND SOMEONE HANDS YOU A DRINK. YOU CAN'T FAKE SINCERITY.

AND THE PEOPLE WHO CAME INTO MY HOUSE COULD NOT OF BEEN WARMER, KINDER, COMPASSIONATE. EVEN GOT A LAUGH OUT OF IT WHICH I DON'T THINK I WOULD CONSIDER TO BE A TRUE CORAL SPRINGS-PARKLAND EXPERIENCE IF SOMEONE DIDN'T SAY SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. BUT THIS GOES BACK TO THE SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE FIRE DEPA DEPARTMENT. AS I WAS SITTING THERE IN AGONY AND HAVING THEM TAKE ME OUT OF THEIR STRETCHER, MY WIFE COULDN'T HELP BUT BE IMPRESSED BY THE STRUCTURE THAT GOES DOWNSTAIRS, ONLY FOR THEM TO LET THEM KNOW, I'M SO GRATEFUL YOU DIDN'T SCRATCH THE STAIRS. SO OUR MONEY IS BEING WELL SPENT. BUT I MEAN IT SINCERELY.

I'VE EXPERIENCED IT MANY TIMES. SOME OF OUR RESIDENTS NEVER HAVE AND HOPEFULLY THEY NEVER WILL. BUT I'VE EXPERIENCED IT NOW IN WAYS THAT YOU DON'T JUST COME UP HERE.

YOU CAN'T RECRUIT PEOPLE UNLESS YOU ARE ABLE TO PAINT THAT VISION FOR THEM IF THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE DOING AS WELL. TO PUT SOMETHING ON THAT HIGH LEVEL OF STANDARD IS NOT EASY, BUT THE FACT THAT YOU DO IT AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE WANTING TO JUMP ON BOARD TELLS ME EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW. I JUST WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT. GIVE THEM A NICE LITTLE SPECIAL.

>> ABSOLUTELY. BOTH OF THOSE ARE LONG TERM VETERANS. THEY ARE AT THE TAIL END OF THEIR CAREERS AND THEY ARE STILL IN IT TO WIN IT.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT. >> THANK YOU.

[12. Comments by the City Manager]

COMMENTS BY THE CITY MANAGER. >> I JUST LIKE TO REMIND THE COMMISSION THAT WE HAVE STRATEGIC PLANNING ON MONDAY APRIL SIXTH. THAT WILL BE OVER IN THE CHILDREN'S WING OF THE LIBRARY. WE ONLY HAVE ONE MEETING IN THE MONTH OF APRIL FOR A CITY COMMISSION MEETING AND WORKSHOP

[13. Comments by the City Attorney]

THANK YOU. >> COMMENTS BY THE CITY

ATTORNEY. >> A BRIEF COMMENT.

I THINK I MENTIONED THIS IN MOST OF OUR ONE ON ONES, BUT THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE DID PASS HOUSE BILL 145, WHEREAS IT WAS 200,000 PER PERSON, 300,000 PER INCIDENT.

NOW AS OF OCTOBER 1ST, 2026 IF THE BILL WAS SIGNED INTO LAW IT WOULD BE 350,000 PER PERSON AND 500,000 PER INCIDENT.

WHICH MAY AFFECT INSURANCE PREMIUMS GOING FORWARD.

THAT WAS IT. THANK YOU, MAYOR.
