[00:10:05]

441 AND THEN SOME OF OUR LONG RANGE PLANS ARE AROUND CREATING A DATA CENTRIC COUNTY A SMART COUNTY. WE WANT TO CREATE A COUNTY BRAIN WHERE WE'RE TAKING DATA AND INFORMATION. A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION ALREADY EXISTS IT ALREADY EXISTS INSIDE OF OUR MUNICIPALITIES THAT ALREADY EXISTS ACROSS THE COUNTY BUT WE HAVE THESE SILOS WHERE INFORMATION IS SITTING AND WE'RE NOT ABLE TO GATHER IT AND ANALYZE IT IN A COMPREHENSIVE WAY. SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS WORK WITH OUR MUNICIPAL PARTNERS TO PLACE SENSORS ON OUR TRAFFIC LIGHTS STOP SIGNS SPEED LIMITS ON OUR COMMUNITY SHUTTLES. THIS IS ANONYMOUS DATA SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING HOW ARE THEY UTILIZING OUR EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM WHAT MOBILITY OPTIONS ARE THEY ACTUALLY SELECTING AND WHEN AND WHY WHAT DECISIONS ARE THEY MAKING SO THAT WHEN WE COME TO YOU THE NEXT TIME WITH A FIVE YEAR PLAN THAT FIVE YEAR PLAN IS REALLY INFORMED BY DATA AND WE ARE MAKING DECISIONS NOT JUST ANECDOTALLY BUT BASED ON WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITIES. IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO DO SOME PREDICTIVE MODELING AND WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PRIMARY FEEDBACK THAT WE GET FROM RESIDENTS IT IS ABOUT TRAFFIC CONGESTION. SO UTILIZING DATA TO REALLY BE ABLE TO IMPACT TRAFFIC CONGESTION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THIS PLAN. IT'S ALSO GOING TO MAKE US MUCH MORE COMPETITIVE FOR FUNDING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. WE'RE LOOKING TO PARTNER WITH YOU. I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT RAIL PLANNING IN YOUR CITY. AND THOSE ARE BIG COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS BILLION DOLLAR PROJECTS AND THE BETTER THE DATA THE MORE COMPETITIVE WE'RE GOING TO BE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL WITH A NEW STARTS TYPE OF GRANT NOT ONLY BREAKING DOWN THE CORRIDORS AND THE SILOS INSIDE OF OUR OWN ORGANIZATION. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO FROM THE COUNTY'S PERSPECTIVE IS TO CO LOCATE A VARIETY OF FUNCTIONS THAT ARE SURTAX RELATED INTO ONE PHYSICAL SPACE. WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT DOING THAT ALONG THE PLANNED CORRIDORS WHERE WE WOULD HAVE MUNICIPAL PARTNERS REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE VARIOUS CITIES THE PRIMES THE SUBS. KEEP IN MIND WE DO HAVE A 30 PERCENT LOCAL PARTICIPATION GOAL ON THIS ENTIRE PROGRAM FOR THE ELIGIBLE ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAM. AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS BE ABLE TO HAVE FIELD OFFICES. SO I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THE CORRIDORS AND THE IDEA WOULD BE TO AS WE LET'S LOOK AT ONE THAT AFFECTS YOU ALL SO THE 441 CORRIDOR COULD BE A 10 YEAR PROJECT MULTIPLE PHASES AND YOU COULD START OFF IN THE NORTH AND MOVE SOUTH OR YOU COULD START OUT IN THE MIDDLE AND KIND OF WORK OUR WAY UP UNTIL WE DO THESE CORRIDOR STUDIES IT'S DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHAT THE BEST APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION WILL BE THAT WILL BE THE LEAST DISRUPTIVE TO THE COMMUNITIES AND THE RESIDENTS AND THE BUSINESSES BUT THE FIELD OFFICES THAT WOULD HAVE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES AND REPRESENTATIVES IN THEM WOULD MOVE AS THE CORRIDOR WAS BEING CONSTRUCTED SO THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT REALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT COMMUNITY AND IF PEOPLE HAD QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS OR THERE WERE ISSUES THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GO TO A PHYSICAL PLACE AND HAVE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE THERE THAT UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH THE PROJECTS TO ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS SO AT THIS POINT I KNOW YOU HAVE A PACKED AGENDA. I KNOW I MOVED VERY QUICKLY THROUGH THAT PRESENTATION BUT I THINK IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAT WE BE ABLE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AT THIS POINT AND I'LL BRING UP WHATEVER TECHNICAL EXPERTS IT'S APPROPRIATE. AND BILL DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR ITEMS THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW. YOU KNOW I'M GLAD TO BE HERE OF

[00:15:02]

EXCELLENT. OK. GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I THINK YOU JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. THE OVERSIGHT BOARD IS IT IN PLACE. HAVE THE NOMINEES BEEN SELECTED FOR THE OVERSIGHT BOARD AS OF YET. YES. SO THE APPOINTING AUTHORITY MET IN FEBRUARY JANUARY AND FEBRUARY AND THEY SELECTED THE OVERSIGHT BOARD THE INDEPENDENT OVERSIGHT BOARD AND THEY MET THE FIRST TIME ON FEBRUARY 14TH AND THEN AGAIN ON APRIL 25TH WHICH IS WHEN THEY TOOK BUDGETARY ACTION FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2019. VICE MAYOR. OK.

ARE THERE ANY GUIDELINES IN PLACE FOR THEIR TURNAROUND TIME WHEN THEY RECEIVE PROJECTS. DO THEY NEED TO TURN IT AROUND IN X AMOUNT OF TIME. WELL THE OVERSIGHT BOARD HAS IN THE EXISTING ORDINANCE 120 DAYS. THEY CAN TAKE UP TO 120 DAYS TO MAKE A DECISION BUT AS OF YET THEY HAVE NOT INDICATED A DESIRE TO DO THAT. THEY'VE THEY'VE BEEN ACTING ON THE INFORMATION AS IT'S PRESENTED TO THEM IN THE MEETINGS I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THAT THE TRANSPORTATION. EAST TO WEST. WE ARE A FAR WESTERN COMMUNITY. WE ARE LOOKING AT REDEVELOPMENT. AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO PROVIDE IS PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO WAY FOR SOMEONE REALISTICALLY TO GET WEST TO EAST FOR A JOB AND THEN COME HOME THAT WAY. WHAT PLANS DO WE HAVE FOR THAT. I'LL HAVE MR. WALTON COME AND SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS ON OUR EAST WEST. THANK YOU. TRANSIT. MORNING. GOOD MORNING. AND I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU. WE CERTAINLY RECOGNIZE THAT WE HAVE. IF YOU WOULD JUST OFFICIALLY PERCHANCE YOU ARE IN THIS WELCOME. DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION BROWARD COUNTY. THANK YOU. AND I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU THAT WE HAVE DEFICIENCIES IN OUR TRANSIT SYSTEM SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO THE EAST WEST TRAVEL. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE 30 YEAR PLAN THE FIRST THING TO DO IS SCRATCH AND MATCH IN THE YEAR 2019 19 IS AT A 10 PERCENT SERVICE INCREASE. WE ARE ALSO DOING THAT IN 2020. BUT IF YOU LOOK OVER THE LONG HAUL THE INCREASE IN SERVICE AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WILL TAKE US FROM A CURRENT FLEET OF 359 BUSES UP TO 620 BUSES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON EAST WEST TRAVEL. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT IN TERMS OF MOVING LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE EAST WEST THAT WE NEED SOME FORM OF HIGH CAPACITY TRAVEL SO GRETCHEN ALSO TOUCHED ON THE POSSIBILITY OF RAIL AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. WE'RE LOOKING AT THOSE WITH OUR PARTNERS AT THE STATE AND THE MPO TO DETERMINE WHERE THE BEST EAST WEST SOLUTION RESIDES IN THIS COUNTY. WE'LL BE WORKING WITH A COURSE WITH THE COMMUNITY AS WELL BUT WE DO RECOGNIZE IT AS A DEFICIT. BUT IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE OVERALL PLAN YOU'LL SEE SIGNIFICANT TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS ON THE EAST WEST TRAVEL WHEN MIGHT WE EXPECT TO ACTUALLY SEE THAT IN PLACE. YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO SEE SOME OF IT STARTING IN JULY AND THEN AGAIN WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER INCREASE IN OCTOBER. BUT AGAIN IT IS A 30 YEAR REFERENDUM AND IT'S IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD DO IT ALL IN THE FIRST THREE FIVE YEARS. BUT WE CAN'T GROW THAT FAST. BUT AGAIN THE RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE IT'S A COUNTYWIDE SITUATION AND WE NEED TO YOU KNOW I LIKE TO SAY THAT WE HAVE GAPS TWO TYPES OF GAS. WE HAVE GEOGRAPHIC GAPS IN OUR COUNTY RIGHT NOW. WE ARE THERE AREAS OF THE COUNTY THAT ARE NOT SERVED IN UNDERSERVED. SO WE'RE FILLING THOSE GAPS NOW AND WE ALSO HAVE WHAT WE CALL HEADWAY GAPS OR THE INTERVAL BETWEEN THE BUSES IN MANY CASES TOO LARGE. SO WE'RE FILLING IN THOSE GAPS AS WELL BUT OVER TIME YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU'LL SEE THAT ALL OF THOSE GAPS WILL BE FILLED. AND MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TAKE A LOOK AT THE OVERALL TRANSIT PLAN THAT YOU CAN SEE YEAR BY YEAR THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'LL BE MAKING ON THE BUSES. NOW EVEN IF WE LOOK AT IT IF WE HAVE EAST TO WEST FROM ON MCNABB THEY CAN PICK UP TRI RAIL WHICH PEOPLE COULD USE AT THE STATION THERE AND WE WON'T EVEN GO INTO OUR COMMERCIAL CARGO BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD GUY. BUT ONCE YOU HAVE SOMETHING MORE DEFINITIVE IN PLACE IF YOU COULD SHARE THAT WITH ME SPECIFICALLY SO I CAN GET THAT WORD OUT. I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT BE HAPPY. THANK YOU VERY

[00:20:01]

WE HAVE SOME MORE CHAIRS COMING AS WELL. OK. ARE YOU ACTUALLY IT'S ON CROWN. YEAH I FIGURED IT OUT. OK SO SUPER. AND NOW IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE CHART THE BIKE LANES THAT IS SHOWN ON THE CHART ARE THE OTHER ARE THE BLUE DASH LINES THAT THE SEGMENTS OF THEM THROUGHOUT TAMARACK AND ACTUALLY RIGHT IN THE VICINITY OF IT. AND WHAT THOSE WHAT THOSE ARE IS MANY OF THEM ARE CONNECTIONS TO EXISTING BIKE LANES ARE AVAILABLE SO SOME OF THE GAPS THAT THAT THAT THAT ARE THAT DO NOT HAVE BIKE LANES WE WANT TO MAKE THAT WE WANT TO MAKE THE PROPER CONNECTION. WHAT YOU ALSO SEE JUST KIND OF RELATED TO THE BIKE LANES IS ALSO OF THE GREENWAY SYSTEM. AND WHAT THE GREENWAY SYSTEMS ARE THE LITTLE GREEN DIAMONDS THAT THAT GRETCHEN IS POINTING TO BOTH ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CITY AND THEN ALSO ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THAT MAKES SOME OF THE CONNECTIONS TO SOME OF THE CITY'S EXISTING RECREATIONAL FACILITIES ALONG THEM ALONG THE CANAL AND SO FORTH. SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE HAVE PLANNED IN TERMS OF BIKE WAYS AND ALSO SLASH GREEN WAYS LIKE SORT OF HAVE THOSE SORT OF DUAL PURPOSES TRAFFIC TOWARD THE CITY. YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO USE THE BIKE LANES WHERE THEY'RE ABLE TO GET TO A JOB TO GET TO SHOPPING WHATEVER IT IS. HAVE WE MADE ANY IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS SAFETY ISSUE UP THEM. BY THAT I MEAN WITH HOLES DESIGNATING THAT THAT BIKE LANE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC OR MARKING THEM IN BLUE OR GREEN OR SOMETHING DO WE HAVE ANYTHING NEW ON THAT. YEAH YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE BEEN WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO AND ESPECIALLY YOU KNOW AS WE GO ON AND WE KIND OF STARTED THIS A COUPLE YEARS BACK NOW I'M THINKING NOW I CAN SEE. IS THAT TO THE BEST EXTENT POSSIBLE. WHAT.

WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO WIDEN THE BIKE LANES TO THE BEST EXTENT POSSIBLE WHERE THERE IS ROOM. WE ALSO WANT TO PUT IN BUFFER AREAS THAT THAT'S SORT OF LIKE A LOW SPACE SO THAT'S A LITTLE GAP SO THAT THERE'S MORE ROOM FOR BICYCLISTS TO MANEUVER WITHOUT BEING CONCERNED ABOUT THEM DIRECTLY IMPACT IN TRAFFIC. NOW ALL OF THIS IS BASED ON WHAT WE CALL THE CROSS SECTION OF THE ROAD THAT'S AVAILABLE THAT THAT'S HOW MUCH ROOM ESSENTIALLY THERE IS AVAILABLE IN THE ROADWAY. SO TO THE BEST EXTENT POSSIBLE IN ALL OF OUR DESIGNS NOW WE TRY TO DO THAT AND MAXIMIZE THE SPACE AVAILABLE FOR BICYCLE SO THAT THEY CAN IMPROVE THE SAFETY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

OK. DO WE HAVE ANY PLANS FOR. YOU KNOW WE'VE SEEN IN MANY CITIES THEY HAVE THEM PAINTED THIS BRIGHT BLUE OR GREEN. I KNOW SPACE IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE. BUT WE'VE ALSO SEEN IN SOME CITIES HOW THEY MARK THEM OFF WITH BIG FLOWER POTS JUST TO MAKE THEM A LITTLE BIT SAFER. IT IS THE SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNS ME WHEN YOU YOU PUT THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO ROADS TWO LANES. YEAH THAT CONCERNS. WELL IN A TYPICAL DESIGN JUST FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT WE WOULD TRY NOT TO PUT A BICYCLE LANE IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO LANES. SOMETIMES THAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE'S A RIGHT TURN LANE RIGHT NEXT TO RIGHT NEXT TO A TRUE LANE. SO A BICYCLE HAS TO GO STRAIGHT. SO WE DO TRY TO MARK THEM OFF.

WE TRY TO DELINEATE THEM IN CASES WE DO MARK THEM SEPARATELY TO YOU KNOW AS S IS APPROPRIATE. AND THERE IS ALSO DESIGN STANDARDS FOR DOING THAT. SO SOME OF THE FLOWER POTS AND SO FORTH MAY BE MORE IN THE IN THE VERY LIKE LOW VOLUME TRAFFIC PERHAPS BUSINESS DISTRICTS WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEDESTRIANS AND YOU KNOW WE TRY

[00:25:03]

THE F.D.A. HAS BASICALLY ACCUMULATED A LOT OF THAT DATA AND WE LOOK AT THAT JUST LIKE WE LOOK AT CRASHES FOR VEHICLES TO SEE WHAT THE REMEDIES WOULD BE. AND WHY THINGS ARE HAPPENING IS IT LIGHTING YOU KNOW VISIBILITY IS SOMETIMES A BIG PROBLEM TOO. SO YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S PART OF STATE DATABASE. YES IT IS. OK. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN EASILY ACCESS YEAH WE CAN ACTUALLY SEND YOU LINKS OF WHAT WE USE AND HOW WE EVALUATE. YEAH THERE'LL BE NO PROBLEM. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME. MR. FISHMAN LET'S START WITH THE BACK TO THE BUSES. SORRY THERE'S ANOTHER SEAT HERE SO YOU CAN ALL GO. YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUN ONE OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS I GET ABOUT THE BUS ABOUT BUSES IS THE BUS STOP ITSELF.

THERE'S NO PLACE FOR ELDERLY TO SIT AND THEY'RE IN THE 90 DEGREE WEATHER. THAT IS VERY COMMON FOR US WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT NEW ROUTES AND PUTTING THOSE TOGETHER. ARE WE ALSO LOOKING AT ADDING ADDITIONAL SEATING FOR THOSE BUS STOPS POSSIBLE COVERINGS FOR THOSE BUS STOPS. BECAUSE ESPECIALLY WHO I REPRESENT THEY SAY THEY WOULD USE THE BUS MORE BUT THEY CAN'T SIT THERE FOR 15 MINUTES IN THAT HEAT OR STAND THERE FOR 15 MINUTES IN THAT HEAT. SO ARE WE LOOKING AT THAT YES WE ARE AS A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT IMPACT PLACEMENT OF BUS STOPS OR SHELTERS OF VERSUS RIDERSHIP.

TYPICALLY OUR SYSTEM WE LIKE TO PUT A SHELTER WHERE THERE IS A MINIMUM OF 20 RIDERS PER DAY BECAUSE UP TO THIS POINT WE JUST HAVEN'T HAD THE DOLLARS THAT WE'VE NEEDED TO PLACE ALL THE SHELTERS THAT WE NEED IN THE COUNTY. RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT ABOUT JUST UNDER 5000 BUS STOPS COUNTYWIDE AND ABOUT 25 28 PERCENT OF THOSE HAVE BUS SHELTERS. THERE'S ALSO THE OTHER LIMITING FACTOR WHICH IS AVAILABLE RIGHT OF WAY BECAUSE IN MANY CASES IT JUST ISN'T THE RIGHT OF WAY TO SITE A SHELTER. BUT IT IS OUR OBJECTIVE AND IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT OUR PLAN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE

[00:30:01]

AND THEN LOOKING AT THE SMART COUNTY AND THE DATA SENSORS WHAT WOULD THE DATA SENSORS. WHAT INFORMATION WOULD THE DATA SENSORS BE GATHERING ON THE INDIVIDUAL VEHICLES. IT DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF SENSOR THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PASSENGER COUNTERS. SO WE KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AT A PARTICULAR STOP ARE GETTING ON AND OFF OF A COMMUNITY SHUTTLE. SO WE HAVE THAT TYPE OF DATA. WE'VE PARTNERED WITH STREET LIGHT AND WAYS. SO THERE IS DATA ABOUT TRAFFIC CRASHES CONGESTION. WE'RE GONNA HAVE DATA WITH RESPECT TO LANE CLOSURES. BUT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ACTUAL SENSORS THAT ARE ON STREET LIGHTS THAT ARE ON VEHICLES YOU WANT TO KNOW ORIGIN AND DESTINATION AND YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE PASSING THAT PARTICULAR AREA THAT HAVE THEIR BLUETOOTH OPEN A BLUETOOTH BLUE TOWED CAPTURES BLUETOOTH. SO EVERYBODY WHO'S DRIVING PAST THAT SENSOR THAT HAS BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY AND THEN THERE'S A GOOGLE SYSTEM THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT EVERYONE WHO HAS GOOGLE MAPS OPEN THAT PASSES THE SENSOR. IT'S JUST A COUNTER HOW MANY PEOPLE. AND THEN WITH RESPECT TO STREET LIGHT DATA THEY CAPTURE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE OPEN UBER AND LYFT DRIVER APPS SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHERE UBER AND LYFT RIDES ARE HAPPENING AND KIND OF THE PATTERNS OF THAT. SO IT'S DIFFERENT TYPES OF DATA DEPENDING ON THE SENSORS. IT'S NOT LIKE RED LIGHT CAMERA DATA THAT YOU'RE GATHERING. IT'S NOT A PHOTOGRAPH. NO. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. GALAN. WHO'S ON THE WHO'S ON THE OVERSIGHT BOARD. CAN WE GET A LIST. ACTUALLY WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL I'LL PULL THAT BACK UP FOR YOU. AND WHAT. WHO'S ON THE APPOINTING AUTHORITY. SOME MEMBERS OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD GOOD QUESTIONS AND WE HAVE ALL OF THAT HERE. WHAT I CAN VERY QUICKLY TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHILE I TRY TO GET TO THAT IS YOU'RE GONNA SEND A THAT LINK SURE THIS ISN'T W W W DOT PENNY FOR TRANSPORTATION DOT COM THERE'S AN OVERSIGHT BOARD TAB ON THE WEB SITE AND IF IT WILL OPEN FOR ME BE NICE THE APPOINTING AUTHORITY IS IDENTIFIED IN THE ORDINANCE AND IT RIGHT HERE YOU HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE FAA YOU CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES A DESIGNEE OF THE BROWARD COUNTY COUNCIL CHAMBERS THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR DESIGNEE OF HISPANIC UNITY DESIGNEE OF THE URBAN LEAGUE OF BROWARD COUNTY A DESIGNEE OF THE BROWARD LEAGUE OF CITIES AND ITS DESIGNEE OF THE BROWARD

[00:35:05]

[00:40:04]

WELL THAT BUFFERS WHICH STRIPING YES. THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING.

THEY DO RECOMMEND IT. IT'S PART OF BEING THE GREEN BOOK TOO. THEY THEY RECOMMEND TO PROTECT THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE SEPARATION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. OF COURSE WITH THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF RIGHT AWAY WE HAVE THE CONSTRAINTS THERE. IT'S DIFFICULT TO DO THAT ON EVERY SEGMENT OF EVERY ROADWAY. BUT WE DO THAT THE BEST WE CAN.

IF WE HAVE THE ROOM AND THEN WE MADE A COMMENT ABOUT US ADDING OR COUNTY ADDING SEVENTY FIVE BUS SHELTERS EVERY YEAR AND THESE PLANS HOW ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO IDENTIFY WHICH CITIES OR WHICH AREAS GET THE BUS SHELTERS FIRST. HOW IS THAT SCHEDULE DETERMINED. WELL WE LOOK COUNTY WIDE BUT AGAIN WE LOOK FOR RIDERSHIP WHERE THE HIGHEST RIDERSHIP POTENTIAL IS THE RIDERSHIP EXISTING RIDERSHIP IS THEY NEED SHELTERS. WE ALSO OF COURSE I TALKED ABOUT THE RIGHT OF WAY RESTRICTIONS BUT WE ALSO LOOK TO THE CITIES BECAUSE AS PART OF MANY OF THE REQUESTS A NUMBER OF CITIES HAVE ASKED FOR BUS SHELTERS AS PART OF THEIR CAPITAL PROGRAM. SO IF IT'S PART OF THE CITY'S CAPITAL PROGRAM THEN WE WILL BUILD THOSE SHELTERS. THAT'S OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE DO AS A COUNTY. OK. AND YOU DID REQUEST THAT AND THESE ARE CITY PROJECTS FOR TAMARACK AND YOU'LL SEE BUS SHELTERS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE CLOSE SHELTERS TYPICALLY THE CITIES HAVE SHELTERS UP THERE DESIGNS THAT THEY'RE CHOOSING. OK.

SO THE CITY OF TAMARACK HAS ITS OWN CITY DESIGN. SO THAT IS THE STANDARD THAT WE USE WHEN WE PLACE A SHELTER AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE RIDERSHIP IS IN TAMARACK AND THEN IN BROWARD COUNTY IN GENERAL. I KNOW IT IS IN BROWARD COUNTY. I CAN'T WELL YEAH I MEAN I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE SPECIFIC RIGHT ASH. YOU KNOW WE COULD PROBABLY TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY BUS RIDERSHIP BUT IN TERMS OF THE GENERAL FIXED ABOUT RIDERSHIP IT CAN GIVE YOU AS COUNTY WE CARRY ABOUT 30 MILLION PASSENGERS COUNTYWIDE. BUT IT WOULD BE VERY VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO TO SEPARATE THAT INTO CITY TAMARACK BUT NOT ONCE FOR COLLECTING DATA. OK. SO VICE MAYOR BLANCO ASKED ABOUT THE EAST WEST TRANSPORTATION. IT'S NICE TO WORK IN BOCA AND YOU SHOULD TAKE ME 5 NORTH TO THE SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET TO GET TO NINETY FIVE TRAFFIC'S ALWAYS BACKED UP TAKES FOREVER. WHAT ARE THE PLANS FOR THAT AREA EXPANDING THE ROADS OR POTENTIALLY ADDING RAIL THERE ANYWAY. WHAT ARE THE PLANS TO BE GETTING FROM THAT AREA NINETY FIVE WELL I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE MY TO WHICH I KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. I'M SO EXCITED TO HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY HERE. I'M SORRY. THANK YOU. SO YES SOUTHWEST HISTORY. THERE'S A 800 PLUS MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT THAT IS JUST ABOUT FULLY FUNDED IT'S ONLY SHORT. SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AT THIS POINT. AND SO THAT IS MOVING FORWARD. AND THAT IS GOING TO CONNECT THE SAW GRASS DIRECTLY TO NINETY FIVE. AND THERE'LL BE NEW DIRECT CONNECTIONS WILL BE MANAGED LANES. SO WE'RE HOPING THAT THAT MAKES A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT. EAST WEST TRAVEL IN THAT QUARTER. YOU. AND THEN BACK TO THE BIKE LANES. THEY'RE GOING TO BE REFLECTORS ON THE GROUND SO THAT IF A CAR'S GOING OVER THEY CAN FEEL THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PASS THE LANE. YEAH YEAH YEAH. OK. SO IF I COULD. LET ME JUST ADD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BIKE LANES ABOUT MPO HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN BRINGING WHAT WE CALL COMPLETE STREETS TO TO THE AREA AND WE HAVE AN ANNUAL MEETING HERE IN THE REGION THAT BRINGS IN NATIONAL EXPERTS AND WE TALK ABOUT IT WE WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS AT THE COUNTY AS WELL AS EFFORT TRYING TO PUSH TOWARDS WHAT THE NAME SAYS COMPLETE

[00:45:06]

SO THOSE ARE YOU KNOW FIRST MILE LAST MILE TYPES OF TRIPS THE BICYCLE IS ACTUALLY QUITE IMPORTANT. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO FIND A WAY TO ACCOMMODATE THEM. THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT THERE ARE SAFETY ISSUES FLORIDA HAS A REAL PROBLEM IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA HAS A PROBLEM BEYOND WHAT EVEN FLORIDA DOES. I WILL TELL YOU THAT BOTH THE STATE DOTY AND THE BROWARD MPO HAVE ADOPTED WHAT WE CALL VISION ZERO WHICH IS AN EFFORT TO REFOCUS OUR OUR FUNDING AND OUR INVESTMENTS INTO SAFETY PROJECTS AS PART OF OUR RECENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT. WE LOOKED AT ALL THE DATA ALONG WITH DOTY IN FACT WE'RE JUST MEETING WITH THEM LAST WEEK TO IDENTIFY ALL THE HIGHEST SAFETY LOCATIONS WITHIN BROWARD COUNTY. AND OUR PLAN IS GOING TO ASK THE STATE TO GO OUT AND STUDY ALL THE HIGHEST AND TO DEVELOP MITIGATION AND REMEDIATION. IT IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE MUCH OF OUR ROAD SYSTEM DOWN HERE WAS DESIGNED FOR MOVING AUTOS AND MOVING THEM QUICKLY. SO IF YOU'RE A PEDESTRIAN OR BICYCLE YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT IT WE'VE GOT TO DO MORE EDUCATION AND WE NEED TO ALSO BRING BETTER DESIGNS WHICH I THINK WE'RE WE'RE LARGELY GETTING TO THE COUNTY NOW AS PART OF THAT AS WELL. SO I THINK WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BUT WE CERTAINLY HAVE MORE WORK. ONE MORE QUESTION I THREW ON MY BIKE BUT I I STAY ON THE SIDEWALK. SO SPEAKING OF BIKES YOU HIGHLIGHTED THE GREENWAY THE BIKE PATH. SO I THINK IT GOES FROM SOUTH GATE AND THEN IT STARTS AT UNIVERSITY AND KIND OF JUST STOP RIGHT THERE. SO WHAT'S THE PLAN IN TERMS OF THE TIMETABLE TO CONNECT THE GREENWAY TO WHEREVER IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO NEXT TO THE GREENWAY LOCATED RIGHT AT THE EASTERN EDGE OF YOUR CITY THERE. THEY DID. THE INTENT IS TO CONNECT TO THE EXISTING THE BIKE LANES FROM DOWN SOUTH CONNECTED TO THE EXISTING LINEAR PARK SYSTEM AND SO FORTH THAT THAT'S IN PLACE.

THAT WAS THE TIMEFRAME TO COMPLETE IT. I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND IN SOME OF OUR GREEN WASTE PROJECTS TO BE HONEST PROBABLY A STRETCH THIS OUT A LITTLE BIT INTO THE FUTURE BECAUSE IN IN MORE IN THE BEGINNING WE WANT TO SORT OF FOCUS ON SOME OF THE CONGESTION TYPE PROJECTS. SO I I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DATE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. YEAH WE CAN PROVIDE THAT BUT IT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT FURTHER OUT A LITTLE BIT. OK. AND THEN RAIL ARE WE GOING TO HAVE HIGHER SPEED RAIL OR JUST THAT SLOWS RAIL IN THE FUTURE BY GOING FROM EAST TO WEST OR ENOUGH THE SOUND LIKE IT'S GONNA BE A POINT WHERE WE CAN GET FROM BROWARD TO MIAMI OR BROWARD THE PALM BEACH IN 15 MINUTES OUTSIDE OF BRIGHTON. THAT'S A PRIVATE COMPANY. PROBABLY NOT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. OK. REALISTICALLY I MEAN YOU DO HAVE THOSE HIGH SPEED RAIL SYSTEMS IN EUROPE AND OTHER PLACES ACROSS THE WORLD BUT YOU KNOW HONESTLY THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE UNITED STATES HAS NOT BEEN MAINTAINED THAT THE TRACK OF TECHNOLOGY QUITE FRANKLY DOESN'T EXIST HERE TO DO THAT. IT DOES EXIST ELSEWHERE BUT I MEAN IF YOU'RE ASKING IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE HIGH SPEED RAIL IN BROWARD I MEAN THAT'S MORE OF A FEDERAL QUESTION BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF FEDERAL INVESTMENT. RIGHT. AND YOU KNOW THE FEDERAL INVESTMENT IN TRANSIT IS ACTUALLY NOT NEAR THE LEVEL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE TO SUPPORT HIGH SPEED RAIL. I MEAN IF YOU REMEMBER BACK DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION THAT WAS ONE OF HIS PRIORITIES. BUT RICK SCOTT SAID NO RIGHT.

SO IT'S MORE OF A FEDERAL ISSUE. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT HERE. RIGHT. BUT YOU GUYS TRACKING WHAT WHAT'S GOING ON. ALEX I KNOW TRUMP. TALK ABOUT IT AND THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT IT. IS THERE A DATE ON. WE WE WE WE ARE AND WE HAVE PEOPLE IN LATIN WASHINGTON YOU KNOW WE THEY VERY CLOSE TO OUR NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS THAT ARE IN WASHINGTON. WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING UP IN ABOUT A WEEK. WE CAN HAVE TO TALK TO OUR FEDERAL TRANSIT OFFICIALS AS WELL AS OUR LEGISLATORS ABOUT THE POSSIBLE WAYS OF BRINGING MORE FEDERAL DOLLARS INTO BROWARD. SO ABSOLUTELY WE STAY ABREAST OF ALL OF THE NEW FEDERAL LEGISLATION THAT RELATES TO TRANSPORTATION AND POTENTIAL

[00:50:02]

I'M TALKING ABOUT COMMUNITY BUS SHUTTLES. THERE IS NO COMMUNITY BUS THAT GOES PAST 441 ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD INTO THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN. AND THOSE COMMUNITIES HAVE LONG BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE MIX. I'VE HEARD MAYBE IT'S LOW RIDERSHIP AND I'VE HEARD SEVERAL OTHER REASONS. BUT CAN YOU JUST SHED SOME LIGHT ON WHY THAT IS AND HOW WE CAN FIX THAT ISSUE. HEY I'M GOING TO ASK RANDY MCCOURT WHO'S A MANAGER WHO ACTUALLY MANAGES A COMMUNITY SHUTTLE PROGRAM. GOOD MORNING MY NAME'S BARNEY MCCOY DIRECTOR FOR SERVICE AND CAPITAL PLANNING FOR OUR COUNTY TRANSIT. TWO QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE EASTERN PORTION OF TAMARACK. WE ALWAYS COORDINATE WITH THE CITIES YOU KNOW TO HELP IT IDENTIFY WHAT THE NEEDS ARE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AS PART OF THE SURTAX PASSING THOUGH WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE CITY AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CITY TO DEVELOP NEW RULES BE THAT A NEW SERVICE OR AN EXTENSION OF SERVICE. WE ALWAYS WORK WITH THE CITY TO COORDINATE THAT IN THE PAST BECAUSE OF THE WAY THIS COMMUNITY SHUTTLE PROGRAM WAS FUNDED. IT WAS A 15 DOLLARS SUBSIDY FROM THE COUNTY AND THE CITY BOUGHT THE REMAINING PORTION OF THAT. IT WAS ALWAYS A FISCAL CONSTRAINED SPECIFIC TO THE CITY IN TERMS OF GROWING THE SERVICE AND A POLL SURTAX ENVIRONMENT. SO AGAIN WE'VE COMMITTED TO FUND A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE OPERATING FORWARD. SO AGAIN WE'RE WORKING WITH ALL NOT JUST TAMARACK BUT ALL THE CITIES TO DEVELOP NEW SERVICE AND NEW SERVICE PLANS. OK SO YOU'RE SAYING NOW IT WILL BE EASIER MORE MORE EFFECTIVE BUT WE'VE NEVER DONE AN ANALYSIS OF RIDERSHIP FOR THE EASTERN PORTION OF TAMARACK. SO AGAIN IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE CITY WOULD LIKE TO DESIRE AND HAS A DESIRE TO DO WE WOULD SIT DOWN AND WORK WITH YOU TO DEVELOP A SERVICE PLAN. BUT AGAIN IN TERMS OF NO GOOD SERVICE OR YOU KNOW BEING GOOD FISCAL STORES WE WOULD ONLY MOVE FORWARD TO IMPLEMENT THE SERVICE IF WE THOUGHT THAT THESE RIDERSHIP OR THE SERVICE WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL OK. SO ON THAT LITTLE PIECE WHAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEPS FOR BOTH THE CITY AND TO THE PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE COMMUTER SHUTTLE PROGRAM I KNOW STILL WORKING WITH THE CITY IN TERMS OF SOME SERVICE EXPANSION BUT AGAIN ALL THE CITIES WERE ASKED TO SUBMIT SERVICE PLANS OR MAKE REQUESTS FOR SERVICE AND AT THAT POINT WE START MEETING WITH THE CITIES AGAIN TO SEE WHAT POINTS OF INTEREST ISSUE INTEREST IN CONNECTING THE DEMOGRAPHICS THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SERVE AND WHAT LEVEL OF SERVICE YOU'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE. SO WE'VE MISSED THE BOAT OR THINK WE CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO IT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THEY ARE INVOLVED THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED WORKING WITH THE CITY TO ADDRESS THAT. SO WE CAN DO YES YOU

[00:55:04]

I'LL BE 62 WHEN IT'S DONE OKAY. RIGHT. SORRY. SO THE TAMARACK ON THAT MAP. LET ME GO ABOUT ALL RIGHT. WE CLOSED. OKAY. SO THE QUESTION THE QUESTION IS WHERE'S TAMARACK ON THE MAP. AND THESE ARE THE TWO GREENWAY IS THAT I JUST CLICKED ON TO GET THE INFORMATION THAT'S THE 20 35 LEG YOU'LL BE ABLE ARRIVE AND THEN YOU HAVE 20 36 CALLS FOR THE DEPARTMENT MAKE AROUND THIS IS EARLY THIS IS THE 20 24 TWENTY TWENTY SIX OK. NO PROBLEM. SO THE CRITERIA FOR THE OVERSIGHT BOARD IS SIMPLY THAT THEY MAY MEET THESE CATEGORIES SO TO MEET TO BE SELECTED YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE AND HAVE A PROFESSIONAL THE RESUME IS OBVIOUSLY SENT IN IT'S EVALUATED BY THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY FOR ADEQUACY AND EACH OF THESE INDIVIDUALS HAD TO DEMONSTRATE THEY HAD TO SEND A PACKAGE THEIR INTENT. IF THEY HAD ANY EXPERIENCE IN TRANSPORTATION OR INFRASTRUCTURE RELATED PROJECTS OR PROGRAMS COMMUNITY SERVICE. SO THIS PERSON HAS TO HAVE AN ACCOUNTING DEGREE. THERE WERE FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT I THINK CPA BACHELORS DEGREE IN ACCOUNTING MASTER'S DEGREE IN ACCOUNTING.

THIS PERSON HAS TO HAVE A DEGREE IN FINANCE AND HAVE DEMONSTRATED PROFICIENCY AND PRACTICE IN THE FIELD OF FINANCE WITH A PREFERENCE I THINK FOR TRANSPORTATION OR INFRASTRUCTURE IN A GOVERNMENTAL SETTING ARCHITECTURE. OBVIOUSLY THIS PERSON IS HAS TO BE A LICENSED ARCHITECT. ANGELA IF I'M MISSING ANYTHING I KNOW THAT THERE WERE CERTIFICATIONS SOME OF THESE HAD PARTICULAR PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATIONS OR LICENSES THAT ALSO HAD TO BE DEMONSTRATED AND I BELIEVE ARCHITECTURE WAS ONE OF THEM LAND USE AND URBAN PLANNING. AGAIN BOTH A DEGREE AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE IN THAT FIELD. THIS WAS AN OR A PERSON WAS EITHER QUALIFIED AS AN ENGINEER OR IN THE FIELD OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE THE INDIVIDUALS IN CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES. THERE WERE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DEGREES THAT MET THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST AND THIS PARTICULAR PERSON IS ACTUALLY AN ATTORNEY THAT PRACTICES IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES.

AND THEN THE FORMER CITY OR COUNTY MANAGER AS VERY SPECIFIC. THEY HAD TO I BELIEVE THEY HAD TO BE A CITY OR COUNTY MAN. I'M SO SORRY BUT THAT IS MY PHONE. THEY HAD TO HAVE WORKED AS A CITY OR COUNTY MANAGER IN I BELIEVE THE STATE OF FLORIDA. MY RIGHT

[01:00:03]

THE GOAL WOULD BE THAT WE WOULD HAVE IT ON THE PRINTED AGENDA OR THAT NOTE FOR JUNE 11TH BECAUSE THAT'S IT FOR US. AND THEN WE'RE ON BREAK UNTIL AUGUST AND OBVIOUSLY WE REALLY REALLY REALLY WOULD LIKE TO GET ALL THE ORDINANCE THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE AND THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT ALL OF WHICH NEED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE EMPLOYEES.

I'LL LAY DONE BEFORE THE OVERSIGHT BOARD ACTS ON F Y 20 BUDGET SO THAT OVERSIGHT BOARD IS SLATED TO ACT ON THE FBI 20 BUDGET. AGAIN THIS WILL BE COUNTY PROJECTS ONLY BECAUSE MUNICIPAL PROJECTS ARE GOING TO BE COMING LATER THROUGH THE MPD PROCESS. BUT THAT WOULD BE IN JULY SO NOT TRYING TO HAVE A DEFEATIST ATTITUDE TO TRY TO BE PREPARED. SO WE'RE THINKING THAT WE'LL HAVE THIS AGREEMENT SOMETIME WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK 10 DAYS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO TURN AROUND REVIEW GET BACK TO YOUR OFFICES HOPEFULLY SIGNED BY JUNE 11TH. THIS IS FOR ALL 31 CITIES. NO NO NO NO. SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST GIVE US COMMENTS. SO IT GOES TO OUR BOARD ON JUNE 11TH. AND THEN YOU ALL HAVE THE WHOLE SUMMER TO CIRCULATE IT AND GET 50 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION CITIES REPRESENTING 50 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION TO SIGN THE ENTIRE LOCAL AGREEMENT SOMETIME IN AUGUST. RIGHT. OK. YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT THAT CRAZY JUST I COULD JUST SECONDS. WE GOT TO CLEAR A LOT OF SCHEDULES YOU KNOW. THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE REIMBURSEMENT FOR PROJECTS THAT ARE APPROVED IN A FIVE YEAR PLAN. YOU KNOW THAT'S BEEN A BIG THING IN MY HEAD. NOW HOW ABOUT BONDING AGAINST IT. CONFIRMING WEAKENS IF ONCE WE GET THE APPROVAL ON THE FIVE YEAR PLAN. IF WE'RE IN THERE WE'LL BE ABLE TO BOND AGAIN. YES BUT I WANT ON THE RECORD TO BE VERY VERY CLEAR. BECAUSE YOU CAN BOND AGAINST ANY OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE IN THE FIVE YEAR PLAN AND WE CAN WORK WITH YOU. BERTHA HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR SHE'LL SIT DOWN WITH ANY CITY BECAUSE I MEAN NOBODY'S IN THE MARKET AS MUCH AS THE COUNTY IS AND DO A LETTER OF CREDIT. THE ISSUE WILL BE THE COST OF THE PROJECT THAT GOES TO THE OVERSIGHT BOARD. RIGHT. IS A PAY AS YOU GO COST SO IF A CITY CHOOSES TO BONDS THE DIFFERENCE

[01:05:07]

AND THE REASON I SAY ELIGIBLE IS BECAUSE WHEN THERE'S FEDERAL MONEY WHEN A PROJECT'S FEDERALIZED. WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO DO THAT. AND ON SOME STATE FUNDED PROJECTS WE PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT. BUT THAT MEANS THAT 30 PERCENT OF THE WORK AND THE FUNDS NEED TO BE STAYING LOCALLY WHERE THE TAXES ARE BEING GENERATED AND GIVEN ALSO WHAT WE MENTIONED ABOUT 10 PERCENT SERVICE INCREASE. AGAIN IN LAYMAN'S TERMS FOR A SERVICE INCREASE MORE BUSES ON THE ROADS. WHAT IS TURNING UP HEADWAY IN TIME. YES 10 PERCENT. BASICALLY RIGHT NOW IN TERMS OF THE SERVICE THAT OBVIOUSLY WE PROVIDE WE PROVIDE ONE POINT TWO MILLION HOURS OF REVENUE SERVICE. SO BY THE END OF CALENDAR YEAR 2019 WE WILL ADD ANOTHER HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND HOURS OF SERVICE ON TOP OF THE ONE POINT TO BY THE END OF 2020. HE GETS ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOUR THOUSAND ADDITIONAL HOURS ON TOP OF THE ONE POINT FOR. SO BASICALLY IF THERE IS A BUS ON ONE OF THE ROUTES I'LL CALL IT 88 AND IT MEANS IT COMES EVERY HOUR NOW POSSIBLY ABOUT EIGHTY EIGHT. WE'LL HAVE ONE EVERY HALF HOUR. RIGHT. YOU'LL SEE ONE NEW ROW YOU'LL SEE SHORTEN HEAD WEIGHS ON A NUMBER OF ROLES YOU'LL SEE EARLIER STARTS PRODUCE START OF SERVICE ON A NUMBER OF ROLES LATER RUNNING SERVICE ON SOME RULES AND BETTER WEEKEND SERVICE. OKAY GREAT. AND THEN WE TALKED A BIT ABOUT SHELTERS ALREADY. I KNOW THAT OUR CITY HAS ABOUT 18 OR THERE WAS A NUMBER OF SHELTERS WE WERE SHOWN IN ONE OF OUR PRESENTATIONS THAT ARE COMING SHORTLY OR AT LEAST PROVIDE BUS STOPS AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET MORE SHELTERS TO THEM UNDERSTANDING ON THE RIGHT WAYS. IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH SOME OF THE RIGHT WAYS AND SOME OF OUR BUS SHELTERS BEFORE WE AUTOMATICALLY SAY NO TO THE SHELTER CAN WE TALK BECAUSE MAYBE WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHO OWNS IT RIGHT AWAY AND WHERE WHAT WE COULD DO TO ACTUALLY GET MORE SHELTERS. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. AND ALSO YOU MENTIONED RIDERSHIP TO REPLACE SHELTERS OR YOU NEED RIDERSHIP TO GET MORE BUSES AND MORE SHELTERS. IT'S KIND OF A CATCH 22 HERE ISN'T IT. SO HOW DO WE DEFEAT THE CATCH 22. SO AS COMMISSIONER EFFICIENT SAID SHE HAS PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO RIDE THE BUS BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE SHELTERS OR THE PROVISIONS FOR SO WHAT DO WE DO THAT KIND OF. AND THEY WILL COME TO. WELL TYPICALLY THE RIDERSHIP IS DEVELOPED BY DENSITY BASED IF THERE IS DENSITY OUT THERE AND THERE IS FREQUENTLY A REPORT THAT DENSITY THE RIDERSHIP TYPICALLY FOLLOWS THEN THE SHELTERS WILL TYPICALLY FOLLOW THAT. BUT IT IS WHAT WE HAVE FOUND OUT IN EVERY CASE WHERE WE HAVE INCREASED OUR HEAD WEIGHS OR INCREASED OUR FREQUENCY BETWEEN BUSES OR AN INTERVAL BETWEEN BUSES. WE HAVE SEEN RIDERSHIP GROWTH. SO WHEN THOSE NUMBERS CLIMB AND WE DO HAVE THE AVAILABLE RIGHT OF WAY IT WILL PLACE A SHELTER. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN OVER THE REALLY THE PAST 70 YEARS WE JUST HAVEN'T HAD THE THE DOLLARS TO PUT INTO THE SYSTEM TO GROW THE RIDERSHIP. BUT WE ARE FIRMLY CONVINCED THAT AS WE ADD MORE SERVICE AND PEOPLE BECOME MORE FAMILIAR AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT WHERE YOU PREVIOUSLY WAITED FORTY FIVE

[01:10:04]

IT'S IN THE PLAN SO UNLIKE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES. WELL THAT WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR RIDERSHIP. YOU HAVE THE OPTION OF WORKING WITH TRANSIT TO START PUTTING IN SOME OF THEIR SHELTERS. THANK YOU. AND THIS IS ALREADY KIND OF MENTIONED THAT WE'RE ALREADY WORKING ON IT FOR THE COMMUNITY BY SHUTTLE BUS FOUR TOPS AND GETTING THEM TO HAVE MORE PROGRAMS OR A STOP SEPARATE FROM WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT TOP OF. SO HAVING WE'RE GOING TO ADD SOME MORE COMMUNITY BUS TRANSIT. WHAT ABOUT THE TOPS PROGRAM TOPS PROGRAM WILL ALSO BE FULLY FUNDED AS A RESULT OF THIS.

WE'RE ADDING WE'RE ACTUALLY PURCHASING AS WE SPEAK. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX MORE TOPPS VEHICLES BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY THE PAST TWO YEARS THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN OVERWHELMED WITH GROWTH. WE JUST HAVE TO MAINTAIN OUR RIDERSHIP STANDARDS AS A RESULT OF WE HAD 38 PERCENT GROWTH IN TOPPS RIDERSHIP OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS.

AND WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE VEHICLES TO KEEP UP WITH IT SO OUR OWN TIME PERCENTAGE OR TIME STANDARDS ACTUALLY DROPPED WITH THE INFUSION OF NEW VEHICLES THAT ACTUALLY BE ADDING 100 VEHICLES TO THE FLEET AND 46 OF THOSE WE'RE REPLACING OTHER VEHICLES THAT WILL BE RETIRED. WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE THEIR RIDERSHIP NUMBERS BETTER RIDERSHIP ON TIME PERCENTAGE WHICH IS BY CONTRACT NEARLY 2 PERCENT ON TIME. WE EXPECT IT WILL BE BACK UP TO 8 PERCENT AND WHEN I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN SOME OF THE NEW VEHICLES. THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE OF NEW VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THEY'RE SMALLER TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE TO I GUESS GET SOMEBODY TO THEIR APPOINTMENT QUICKLY AND THEN GO TO SOME PICK SOMEBODY ELSE UP AND THEN COME BACK. RIGHT. RIGHT. SO WE FOUND THAT THE MIX OF VEHICLES IS DYNAMIC. ONLY 25 PERCENT OF OUR RIDERSHIP IS NOT AMBULATORY. SO YOU KNOW WE DON'T NEED ALL OF OUR VEHICLES TO BE THE BIG LARGER VEHICLES. SO WE'RE BUYING SMALLER VEHICLES. WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER PROGRAM CALLED RIDERS CHOICE PROGRAM WHICH SOME OF OUR TOP CLIENTS HAVE FOUND TO BE VERY EFFECTIVE AND WE LIKE IT QUITE A BIT. AND THERE'S A COUPLE REQUIREMENTS THEY MUST HAVE TAKEN ONE HUNDRED TOPS TRIPS IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND THEY CANNOT TAKE MORE THAN TWO CAB TRIPS A DAY. BUT WHAT WE WILL ALLOW THEM TO DO IS CALL A DAY OF TRIP AND TAKE A TAXI CAB AND WE WILL PAY THE FIRST 18 DOLLARS OF THAT TRIP AND A LOT OF WHAT SOME OF OUR TOPS RIDERSHIP IS REALLY FOUND IT TO BE VERY EFFECTIVE BECAUSE YOU KNOW WITH THE TOPS PROGRAM A SCHEDULED THAT IS AT LEAST A DAY BEFORE RESERVATION AND IT'S A SHARED RIDE SYSTEM WITH THE TAXICAB PROGRAM OR THE RIDERS CHOICE PROGRAM. IT'S A SINGLE POINT TO POINT RIDE AND IT'S VERY EFFECTIVE FOR MANY OF THE AMBULATORY CLIENTS. SO IS THERE A LIMIT ON HOW MANY THEY CAN DO TO PER DAY TO PER DAY BUT SO THEY CAN ACTUALLY SEVEN DAYS A WEEK IF THEY IF THEY'VE BEEN PART OF THE TOPS PROGRAM RIGHT AND FOR A HUNDRED TRIPS FOR THE PREVIOUS PARTIES TOP FOR ROOM FOR YEAR WE'VE TAKEN 100 HUNDRED TRIPS TO THE ELIGIBLE RIDERS TWICE. THANK YOU. THIS IS PROBABLY FOR BILL. THE DEERFIELD BEACH PROJECT SORRY. QUESTION IS THIS BEING SUPPORTED BY THE CITY THE COMMISSION AND IF IT'S NOT WHAT IMPACT IS IT HAVING ON YOUR PLAN. OK. SO THE SELFLESS 10TH STREET PROJECT ACTUALLY HAS ITS OWN PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT TEAM OR GROUP THAT'S BEEN MEETING THAT INCLUDES RESIDENTS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM THE CITY. THEY CALL IT THE COAT AND I'M DRAWING A BLANK ON EXACTLY WHAT THAT STANDS FOR. BUT THAT'S SOME SOMEHOW THAT'S THE OUTREACH GROUP THAT OUTREACH GROUP ACTUALLY PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF A BASIC KIND OF FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN GUIDELINES THAT THEY WANTED TO SEE. AND SO AS T STARTED TO DESIGN THAT THEY HAVE JUST RECENTLY GONE BACK TO THE COAT THEY HAD THE MEETING IN OUR OFFICES LAST WEEK TO PRESENT TO THEM HOW AND WHY THEY WERE ABLE TO MEET THE CRITERIA THAT THEY HAD LAID OUT AND IN SOME CASES WEREN'T ABLE TO MEET BUT THERE'S BEEN A VERY STRONG AND VERY EFFECTIVE PUBLIC

[01:15:06]

LET'S GET BACK TO BIKE LANES AND JUST A COMMENT BECAUSE I HAVE CONCERNS AND I'VE SHARED THIS WITH YOU THAT WE'RE TAKING NOTHING. BIKE LANES AREN'T NEEDED BUT AGAIN FOR CERTAIN ROADWAYS ESPECIALLY I CAN GIVE YOU SIXTY FOURTH AVENUE COMMERCIAL GOING TO WOODLANDS. THERE'S THIS LITTLE PIECE OF NOTHING THAT'S CALLED THE BIKE LANE GOING TO NOWHERE AND YOU HAVE A VERY TRAFFIC HEAVILY TRAFFICKED ROAD WHICH GOES BACK TO THE SAFETY CONCERNS THAT MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID. SO WHEN WE'RE DOING THESE PROJECTS AS MUCH AS WE WANT TO BUILD THEM TO FOR THEM TO COME I JUST ASK THAT WE TRULY CONSIDER MAYBE SOME MORE PUBLIC OUTRAGE TO FIGURE OUT IF IT WILL BE A WORTHY BIKE LANE IN THAT LOCATION AND WHERE THE LOCATIONS ARE SO IT WILL BE UTILIZED VERSUS IT BEING A FEELING OF OK WE'VE TAKEN A VERY POPULATED ROAD WHERE WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT A SHELTER OR A BUS SHELTER HERE OR THERE OR MAYBE EXPANDED THE ROADS SOMEHOW TO REDUCE TRAFFIC OR BIKE LANE THAT WILL NEVER BE UTILIZED JUST AGAIN COMMENTARY. BUT I DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE RIDING THEIR BIKES IN THE BIKE LANE SAFELY AND IN AREAS. SO AGAIN YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE POPULATION. SO ALL ABOUT SAFETY CONCERNS. AND THEN ONE OTHER CONCERN IS ON THE DATA THAT'S GONNA BE CALLED. JUST PLEASE WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT WHAT YOU NEED TO DO WHATEVER AGREEMENTS YOU'RE SIGNING OR NOT SIGNING MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD BE EXPECTING. BECAUSE PEOPLE'S PRIVACY IS STILL VERY IMPORTANT TO THEM SO TO EACH OTHER DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY MAY HAVE A GOOGLE MAPS ON OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU SAID WITH THE BLUETOOTH THEY MAY NOT REALIZE THAT THEIR BLUETOOTH IS AUTOMATICALLY GIVING INFORMATION TO OTHER PEOPLE FOR AN INTENDED USE THAT THEY'D INTEGRATE IT. SO PLEASE JUST TAKE THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING INTO I UNDERSTAND TECHNOLOGY DATA IS IMPORTANT IT GETS US WHAT WE NEED. BUT JUST PLEASE TAKE THAT IN MY AND ON THAT NOTE I WILL THANK MY COLLEGE FOR THEIR GOOD QUESTIONS I SEE THAT MR. GUY HAS ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU. AND JUST ONE QUESTION IN YOUR PROJECTIONS FOR THE FUTURE WHAT KIND OF CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO THE DIFFERENT MODES OF TRANSPORTATION PEOPLE ARE TAKING NOW THAT WE HAVE UBER AND LYFT AND MORE COMPETITORS. DO YOU EXPECT RIDERSHIP TO GO DOWN NOW THAT THERE ARE CHEAPER AND MORE CREATIVE WAYS OF TRANSPORTATION HOW ABOUT CHEAPER BUT MORE CREATIVE. I EXPECT THAT THE FUTURE TRANSPORTATION WILL BE A COMBINATION OF ALL OF THE ABOVE AND WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT DIFFERENT WAYS TO INTEGRATE THOSE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELEMENTS INTO OUR SYSTEM. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'LL BE LAUNCHING THIS FALL WILL BE WHAT WE CALL MOBILE TICKETING IS WHERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO BUY YOUR BUS TICKET OR YOUR PHONE. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT INTEGRATING BOTH THIS AND LYFT BUT OTHER TENSES AS PART OF THAT PLATFORM WE'RE LOOKING AT INTEGRATING THE OTHER TRANSIT PROPERTIES IN THE REGION TO TRY REAL 788 MIAMI-DADE TRANSIT AS WELL AS PALM TREE AND INTO A SINGLE REGIONAL APP THAT WE CAN HAVE SEAMLESS TRAVEL THROUGHOUT SOUTHEAST FLORIDA. BUT IN TERMS OF RIDERSHIP GROWTH I THINK RIDERSHIP AS A SYSTEM AS A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO GROW. I FULLY EXPECT THAT ONCE WE GROW OUR SYSTEM THAT WE WILL SEE A RIDERSHIP GROWTH ON ON FIXED ROUTES BECAUSE THE REALITY IN BROWARD COUNTY IS THAT THE COUNTY IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW. AND WE ARE GOING TO DO ALL THE THINGS THE VERY BEST WE CAN TO MITIGATE TRAFFIC CONGESTION. BUT WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT COMMUTES ON SOME OF OUR QUARTERS. AND WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE THE NEED TO MOVE LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE ON CERTAIN QUARTERS BECAUSE THEY WILL BE MATCHED UP WITH EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING. RIGHT. NOT EVERYBODY CAN AFFORD A CAR AND NOT EVERYBODY WANTS TO OWN A CAR. SO YOU WILL SEE I THINK A GROWTH IN THE PUBLIC TRANSIT SECTOR BUT IT WILL BE GROWTH NOT ONLY IN THE FIXED BUS SECTOR BUT IT WILL BE A COMBINATION OF ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU MENTIONED. AND WILL YOU HAVE THE

[2. Presentation - Woodsprings Suites Public Art Easement]

GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. GEORGE OK. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. GEORGE GADSON GOT SET RABBITS. THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BRING YOU UP TO DATE REGARDING THE WHISPERING SWEET EASEMENT PROJECT. JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. A CALL TO ARTISTS WAS PLACED OUT FOR THE ARTISTS NATIONWIDE ACTUALLY TO RESPOND BACK IN OCTOBER 2018. THE SCULPTURE ON WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD WITH THE WORDS SPRING SUITES HOTEL IS CURRENTLY BEING BEING BUILT. THE BUDGET FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT AS WAS AGREED UPON BY THE PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE WAS ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS WITH A CALL TO ARTISTS WENT OUT. WE HAD 39 ARTISTS RESPOND BETTER I THAN AFTER THE THE RESPONSE OF THOSE ARTISTS I REVIEWED THEM BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU A CONTEXT HERE IS THE AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE LOCATION. THERE'S A 20 BY 30 FOOT EASEMENT WHERE THE ACTUAL ARTWORK WOULD BE PLACED. OH BOY I'M SO GOOD. I'M SORRY. SO HERE IS WHERE THE STAR IS LOCATED. IF YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE WE'RE NOW HEADED NORTH ONTO THE SAWGRASS RAMP. SO THE IDEA IS TO CREATE A SOME TYPE OF A REALLY WOW FACTOR HERE AT THIS LOCATION FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS LOOKING TO GET ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR EVEN TO GET OFF OF THE OPPOSITE. IF YOU IF YOU WILL TAKING THE EXIT SOUTH HEADING WEST RATHER EAST ONTO COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD HERE HERE'S A JUST ANOTHER LOCATION THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS WHERE THE EASEMENT IS HERE. AGAIN A 20 BY 40 A 20 BY 30 FOOT EASEMENT TO SECURE THE SCULPTOR SO THEY MENTIONED THE CALL TO ARTISTS WENT OUT. WE HAD THIRTY NINE ARTISTS THAT RESPONDED AND BASED UPON THE REVIEW OF THE PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE THESE THREE SEMIFINALISTS WERE SELECTED. THOSE GORGEOUS JUST HER BREAKING AND JAMES SIMPSON THE THREE OF JAMES SIMONS THE THREE OF THEM ACTUALLY CAME AND PRESENTED FLEW FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY AND ACTUALLY PRESENTED THEIR CONCEPTS TO THE COMMITTEE. FIRST YOU'D LIKE TO SHOW YOU.

GORDON YOU FIRST. HE GAVE A VERY GOOD PRESENTATION IN TERMS OF WHAT HE WAS PROPOSING FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. HE'S PROPOSING THAT THAT THIS SCULPTURE USING A DIKE OR GLASS AND BEST ALUMINUM WOULD BE ABOUT 21 FEET IN HEIGHT AND IT MIGHT OF COURSE WOULD BE LED BY LTV THE. YOU BROUGHT A MODEL THAT ACTUALLY SHOWED THE COMMITTEE. WE TOOK IT OUTSIDE RATHER NEAR THE WINDOW WHERE THE SUN WAS SHINING IN AND THE DIKE WORE GLASSES MATERIAL THAT ALLOWS THE SUN TO TO THE THE GLASS ITSELF IS REFLECTIVE AND ACTUALLY VERY NICE COLORS HERE'S JUST ANOTHER VIEW FROM THE STREET WITH US. THE ARTISTS ARE MAKING HIS FIRST SCULPTURE. HE PRESENTED HE ACTUALLY PRESENTED TWO CONCEPTS THAT WOULD BECOME A FREESTANDING SCULPTURE MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL LAMINATED GLASS AS YOU SEE HERE IN THE CENTER. AND THEN THE SAME IS STILL IN THIS AREA. HERE ARE CABLES THAT SIT ON A CONCRETE BASE HE PROPOSED IN TERMS OF

[01:25:07]

THIS WAS THE SECOND IMAGE YOU PRESENTED. AND HE ALSO IN PART OF THE CALL ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS WAS A LIGHTING ELEMENT. SO HE AND THE PREVIOUS ARTIST COMPLIED WITH THAT PARTICULAR REQUIREMENT. SO THIS IS WHAT YOU ENVISION AND COULD POTENTIALLY SEE AS WELL. AND THEN THE THIRD AND FINAL ARTISTS AS JAMES AND JAMES SIMON WHO FROM PENNSYLVANIA AND HE SUBMITTED SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY VERY DIFFERENT THIS FABRICATION WILL CONSIST OF STEEL PIPES AND RODS WITH A ROLLED PIPE PROCESS FOR THE WHEELS AND THE FENDERS AND THE ACTUAL SCULPTURE WILL BE MADE OF CONCRETE AND THEN COLORED WITH PIGMENTS MIXED IN WITH CONCRETE SEALERS. AND IT'S APPROXIMATELY 18 FEET HIGH. SOME OF HIS HERE IT ISN'T SICK TOO. AND HE CAME OUT PRIOR. HE FLEW IN AND GEORGE MET WITH HIM ON SITE. HE WANTED TO SEE THE PHYSICAL LOCATION WHEN HE DECIDED ABOUT HIS SCULPTURE. AND IT'S TITLED THE BICYCLIST HERE'S SOME OTHER SUPPORT WORK OF HIS. HE'S DONE WORK THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. AND HERE IS A WAR PIECE OF HIS AND HERE'S ANOTHER PIECE THAT IS IN TAMPA AT A PARK THAT I ACTUALLY VISITED. GEORGE AND I BELONG FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC ART PROFESSIONALS KNOWN AS FAR PATH. AND EVERY YEAR THERE'S A CONFERENCE IN FLORIDA A DIFFERENT CITY HOSTING. AND THIS LAST YEAR IT WAS IN TAMPA. AND JAMES SIMON HAD DONE THIS SCULPTURE IN TAMPA. AND IT'S VERY WHIMSICAL VERY NARRATIVE. IT KIND OF TELLS A STORY WHEREVER HE LOCATES HIS SCULPTURES. AND IN ADDITION IN TAMPA WHAT HE DID WAS HE USED EXISTING LIGHT BULBS LIGHT LIGHT LIGHT POLES AND HE DESIGNED A LAMPSHADE TO GO ON TOP OF IT OUT OF POWDER COATED ALUMINUM THAT WAS LASER CUT. AND SO AT NIGHT WHEN THE LIGHT WHEN IT'S LIT IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY IS LAMPSHADE AND IT WAS VERY VERY CHARMING. HERE'S SOME OTHER SUPPORT MATERIAL OF HIS THAT EXISTS. THESE SCULPTURES HE DECIDED NOT TO USE ANY COLOR. BUT AGAIN I WANT YOU LOOKING AT THE SCALE BECAUSE THIS IS THE SCALE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND YOU CAN SEE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SITTING THERE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT WITH THIS THIS IS THE SELECTION THAT THE PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE CHOSE. AND GEORGE AND I ARE VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF THIS SUBMISSION BECAUSE IT'S SO DIFFERENT FOR OUR COLLECTION AND TAMARA AN IMPORTANT THING IS TO LOOK AT THE COLLECTION AS A WHOLE IMPORTANT THING WITH PUBLIC ART IS TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR COLLECTION BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT ART DOES. IF IT'S GOOD ART. ART IS MANY TIMES LIKE A GOOD STOCK. WE ALL KNOW IBM AND DIFFERENT STOCKS THAT WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT WE CAN IF WE CAN GET IN AT A LOW PRICE. HOPEFULLY OVER TIME WE'LL BE ABLE TO INCREASE THAT. AND THAT'S THE SAME WITH PUBLIC ART AND THAT'S HOW GEORGE AND I MANY TIMES ADVISE THE COMMITTEE WILL SOMETHING INCREASE IN VALUE NOT JUST KEEP ITS VALUE WILL IT INCREASE IN VALUE SO THAT YEARS FROM NOW YOU CAN LOOK AT YOUR COLLECTION AND SAY WOW WE'VE LIKE MADE TWO MILLION DOLLARS IF WE WENT AND SOLD IT TODAY OR SOLD A PIECE TODAY. SO THAT'S ONE ELEMENT THAT WE CONSIDER WHEN WE CHOOSE ART. THE SECOND ELEMENT WITH THIS PARTICULAR ARTIST IS THAT THE FIRST TWO ARTISTS GEORGE AND I ARE PUBLIC ARTISTS OURSELVES AND WE ALWAYS APPLY FOR PROJECTS ACROSS THE NATION AND WE COMPETE ACROSS THE NATION AS ALL OF THESE THREE ARTISTS DO. BOTH GORDON SCHUSTER AND RAY KING KEEP DOING VERY SIMILAR THINGS ACROSS THE

[01:30:08]

WHAT IS THE INTENT OF PUBLIC ART THE INTENT OF PUBLIC ART IS TO GET PEOPLE TALKING YES. PUBLIC ART IS VERY SUBJECTIVE. WE ALL HAVE OUR LIKES DISLIKES. PURPLE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR MAY NOT BE SOMEONE ELSE'S FAVORITE COLOR COLLECTION THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE IN THE CITY IS A VERY ROBUST COLLECTION. WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH YOU AND BUILD THAT COLLECTION. AND IT'S A VARIED COLLECTION.

AT THE SAME TIME MEMBERS IN YOUR COMMUNITY HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE PIECE VEVO THAT ROGER STONE JUST RECENTLY DID SOME. SOME LOVE IT AND I HAVE A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHO LIVES AND WOULDN'T MIND WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT BUT MY POINT I'M MAKING IS THAT PUBLIC ART THE PURPOSE OF PUBLIC ART IS TO ADD TO THE AESTHETICS OF THE COMMUNITY. THERE'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS BECAUSE WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL VISITS YOUR CITY THEY SEE THE ART THAT REALLY CREATES A SENSE OF PLACE. IT CREATES THAT WONDERFUL PLACE TO COME BACK TO. AND OH BY THE WAY AS I WAS LEAVING TAMARACK I SAW THIS FABULOUS SCULPTURE OF THIS GUY WHO DID ON A BICYCLE. IT WAS SO FUNNY IT WAS SO WHIMSICAL BUT YOU'VE GOTTA GO BYE SEE IT. SO WE WE IT'S AGAIN. THE PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE CAME WAS COMING BEFORE YOU RECOMMENDING JAMES SIMONS PIECE AS BEING THE PIECE THAT WILL GO ON THE SITE THAT WE SPOKE OF. WE WE ARE THE COMMITTEE IS NOT COMMITTED SPECIFICALLY TO ANY PARTICULAR COLOR THE ARTIST HAS ALREADY AGREED TO WORK WITH US AS THE COMMITTEE IN TERMS OF MODIFYING ANY COLORS THAT MAY BE REQUIRED OR MAYBE REQUESTED AS OPPOSED TO WHAT YOU SEE NOW. THOSE ARE OUR THOUGHTS AND OUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE I PASS IT OFF TO MY COLLEAGUES TO ASK WHAT WERE THE EXACT REQUIREMENTS OF THIS PIECE FOR THIS SUBMISSION. COLORFUL WHIMSICAL SITE SPECIFIC TO TAMARACK. WE WANTED A CERTAIN

[01:35:02]

AND I THINK THAT'S IT. WELL YOU MENTIONED WHIMSICAL COLORFUL SITE SPECIFIC HEIGHT PRESENCE DURABILITY DURABILITY IT'S ALWAYS THEIR ABILITY. DID YOU HAVE LIGHTING TO BE PERMANENT. LIGHTING IS A REQUIREMENT AND WE BEFORE WE EVEN OBTAIN THE EASEMENT REQUESTED OF PUBLIC WORKS TO PLEASE SPEAK ABOUT BRINGING CONDUIT TO THE SITE BECAUSE THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. SO WE DID REQUEST THAT EARLY WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THAT WILL TAKE PLACE. AND DO WE AND I KNOW IT'S STANDARD BUT I WANT TO BRING IT UP. DID WE HAVE IT FOR OUR LOCAL ARTIST ARTIST TO PARTICIPATE AS WELL. ALWAYS IT'S ALWAYS A AN OPEN CALL TO ARTISTS ACROSS THE NATION WHICH MEANS ANYBODY FROM ANYWHERE ANY STATE CAN APPLY AND THEN DID WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE RIGHT THERE IN THAT COMMUNITY. NO WE DID NOT BECAUSE THIS IS THE ENTRY WAY OR EXIT WAY TO OUR CITY ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD. I'LL GO BACK TO MY QUESTIONS A LITTLE BIT LATER AND I HAVE NOBODY FLIPPED SO BUT VICE MAYOR THIS IS YOUR COMMITTEE NOW ONCE AGAIN THE PIECE BY RAY KING THOSE TWO PIECES OF THE SAME THING ONE IN DAYTIME WHEN HE SUBMITTED WHICH IS UNUSUAL. TWO DIFFERENT PIECES AND SO IT FELT LIKE AN EXCUSE ME AND I WILL SAY THAT ONE OF THE PIECES THE SECOND PIECE WITH THE CIRCULAR ORB. HE DID SAY THAT THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HE OWNS IN HIS STUDIO AND THAT WAS A RED FLAG FOR GEORGE AND I. AND THAT YOU KNOW HE IT'S IN HIS INVENTORY. SO WE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT COULD BE SITE SPECIFIC TO TAMARACK SO WHEN YOU ASK FOR SOMETHING THAT'S SITE SPECIFIC YOU WANTED TO BE THERE SHOULD NOT BE A DUPLICATION.

WELL WE NOT ONLY WANT IT UNIQUE BUT AS AN EXAMPLE WHEN WE WORKED WITH ROGER STOLLER ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD JUST WEST OF ROCK ISLAND THE FIRST MODEL THAT HE PRESENTED WAS GENERIC. HE HAD JUST LASER CUT SOME ALUMINUM AND SHOWED IT TO US. HE WORKED WITH US TO MAKE IT INDIGENOUS TO TAMARA. WE WANTED FAMILY. WE WANTED FLORA AND FAUNA TO TAMARACK. WE WANTED OCEAN WATER SUN SWIMMING THINGS THAT THIS COMMUNITY IS MADE OF. AND HE WENT AND REDESIGNED FOR US. AND THE COMMITTEE APPROVED IT AND WE WERE VERY VERY PLEASED. IT DOESN'T SAY HOW MANY FEET HIGH PIECES BY RAY BY RAY KING.

HOW TALL IS RAY'S OF LAST YEAR. HASN'T THE FIRST ONE THE FIRST ONE IS 21. THANK YOU.

EVERYONE HERE. THEY'RE ABOUT THE SAME AGE AS YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT GORDON. YOU THINK SO. IS THAT HE MADE A DUPLICATE PIECE OR HE SOLD A FINALIST PIECE FROM WHAT HE DESIGNED FOR US. HE SOLD IT TO TEXAS. I DON'T LIKE THIS PIECE PRESENTED.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT WE FELT ALSO IT WAS ALL RIGHT. SO WE AGREE WITH YOU COMMISSIONER. THANK YOU UNNECESSARY LIKE THIS LAST WEEK. YOU BET. IT'S GOOD TO LAUGH. THAT'S GOOD. I ACTUALLY LIKE THE PIECE THAT JAMES DID UP IN THE AMERICAN DOWNTOWN. IT'S SOMETHING I DO LIKE THAT PIECE. BUT. I MEAN THIS IS JUST A LOT GOING ON WITH THIS BIKE. I GUESS IT WILL YOU KNOW GET PEOPLE TALKING. WE ALSO SAW IT BEING THAT IT'S IN FRONT OF A HOTEL. I MEAN THIS IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR OUR CITY. SO IT'S FOR PEOPLE COMING ON OR OFF THE SAWGRASS NOT ON THE SAWGRASS. THEY'RE GOING TO FAST TO WE WOULD HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING 75 FEET HIGH. SO WE WE. THAT WAS NOT CRITERIA BUT ONCE HIS SUBMISSION CAME IN WE ALL LOOKED AT IT AS A GREAT PHOTO OP. PEOPLE THAT ARE STAYING AT THE HOTEL. SO WE'RE BACK TO THE RAKING PIECE. SO DID

[01:40:10]

WE GEORGE AND I BOTH FELT BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT RAY KING AND GORDON USER WERE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR AND THEY KEEP DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE GREAT SIMON WAS SO DIFFERENT THAT WHEN THE SUBMISSIONS CAME IN BECAUSE WE ASKED FOR THE SUBMISSIONS A WEEK EARLY BEFORE THE PUBLIC OUR COMMITTEE MEETS SO THAT WE CAN THINK ABOUT IT AND WHEN IT CAME IN WE BOTH LIKE YOU STARTED LAUGHING. IT WAS SO CHARMING SO DIFFERENT. AND WE WERE YAWNING WITH RAY KING AND AND GORDON WHO SAID WE'D BEEN THERE DONE THAT SEEN IT AND NOT VERY MUCH FLAVORED OUR DECISION. I'D LIKE TO THIS IN THE EVENT THAT YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE THE MEMBERS OF OUR PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE OR ARTISTS THEMSELVES. THE CHAIR HAS BEEN A PUBLIC ARTIST. WE'VE GOT IN OTHER WORDS ARTISTS ON THE BOARD THAT HAVE CREDENTIALS SO THEY KNOW WHAT GOOD ART WAS NOT GOOD ART. I WILL SAY TO THAT ARTIST WHENEVER THEY RESPOND TO THIS CALL TO ARTISTS THAT IS NATIONAL WE SOMETIMES HAVE RIDICULOUS SUBMISSIONS AND WE KNOW THAT BETTER THAN TO BRING THOSE BEFORE THE COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT JUST WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE. YEAH SO AM I WRONG. AND I KNOW THAT'S NOT REALLY A RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWER WHEN IT COMES TO ART BUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I WOULD LIKE I WOULDN'T I

[01:45:01]

RIGHT. BUT LEAVING IT AS A MORE ABSTRACT REPRESENTATION SO THE HINTS NOW THE DIALOGUE AND WE KNOW OF THE FAMOUS PIECE OF WORK THERE ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND RIVERSIDE YOU KNOW IT'S VIEWED BY PEOPLE IN WHO LOVE IT SOME DON'T LIKE IT BUT IT'S VERY ABSTRACT. AND THEN IT'S THE VIEWER WHO DECIDES WHAT IT IS SO MUCH MORE EFFICIENT. SO I SAW THE SIMMONS PIECE AND THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE GREAT IN TAMARACK VILLAGE BECAUSE I TOO THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF. AND I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE TAKING PICTURES OF OUR ART AS THEY'RE GETTING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY. THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE DANGEROUS. ARE WE CONSIDERING PIECES OR TAMARACK VILLAGE. YES WE ARE. YES WE ARE. WE. WE DO HAVE THAT IN THE PLANT WHERE THESE DO HAVE WORK YET. GEORGE AND I HAD ALONG WITH MAXINE WE HAD WRITTEN A GRAND FOR AND AND RECEIVED A GRANT AND IT'S GOING TO TAMARA VILLAGE FOR. MOSAIC ART ON THE BACK WALL OF AN AMPHITHEATER AND FOR A SPLASH PAD WE HAD ALSO WHEN GORDON HUGHES HER HEAD FIRST APPLIED FOR COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND DID NOT GET THAT PROJECT WE WERE CONSIDERING THAT SCULPTURE FOR ONE OF THE ROUNDABOUTS IN TAMARACK VILLAGE. SO YES WE'RE WHERE WE'RE ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT OR YOU KNOW THERE'S A MASTER PLAN HERE. AND GEORGE AND I KNOW ALL THE SITES FOR LOCATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SELECTED AND WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING AT ALL OF THE SITES RIGHT NOW.

GEORGE MET WITH THEM JACK STRAIN AND I OVER AT 441 AND COMMERCIAL IN FRONT OF A WALGREENS IS A WONDERFUL SITE FOR ART BECAUSE IT WOULD BE VERY EAST. SO WE'RE DISCUSSING THAT AFTER WE FINISH INSPIRATION WAY WHERE WE HAVE A VERY NICE RESPONSE FROM ARTISTS ACROSS THE NATION OF REALIZED SCULPTURE THEY'RE FINISHED THAT IF WE LIKE SOMETHING FROM THERE WE MIGHT PLACE IT ON 441 AND COMMERCIAL. SO WE ARE ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT ALL THE LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THE COMMITTEE FELT THAT THIS WAS A GREAT LOCATION FOR THIS SCULPTURE. AND IT'S A BONUS THAT WE FELT IT WAS A PHOTO OP AND WITH PHOTO OP THERE IS A PARKING LOT AT THAT HOTEL. SO IT

[01:50:07]

WELL IF I CAN HOLD THE PICTURE BACK UP ON WHERE THE STAR IS FOR THAT BECAUSE IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY LET ME JUST WAIT UNTIL IT'S PULLED OUT THE VERY BEGINNING WHERE THERE'S. IS WHERE YOU WERE THINKING COMMISSIONER ARE THE STARS. OK SO WHERE THAT STAR IS IS WHERE THE HECK ARE THE SCULPTURES GOING TO BE. YES IT'S NOT EXACTLY WHERE WE HAVE BEEN SHOWN ON THE VERY LAST IMAGE IT'S INTO THE RIGHT AWAY.

BUT IT WILL BE INSIDE THE PROPERTY LINE. SO IT'S EXACTLY WHERE YOU SEE THE STAR RIGHT. TYPICALLY WHERE YOU SEE THAT BOX THAT'S THE ACTUAL. THAT'S ACTUAL EASEMENT. OK. AND AT EITHER BEFORE THE SCULPTURE OR RIGHT AFTER THE SCULPTURE THERE IS NOT AN ENTRY WAY TO THE HOTEL IS THERE IS NOT. YOU HAVE TO GO INTO THE HOTEL PARKING LOT. THE RIGHT PICTURE IF YOU ARE A COME IF YOU ARE DRIVING IF YOU'RE NOT STAYING THERE FOR THE ENTRIES ON MADISON WITH THE ENTRY OF THE EXISTING HOTEL. OK. SO MY POINT IS IS THAT YOU'D ACTUALLY HAVE TO PLAN AHEAD. YES I WOULD HAVE TO PLAN. OH SURE. TO YES WE ARE WE WOULD BE HOPEFUL THAT LIKE MYSELF I IF I NONCOMMERCIAL AND I'M ENTERING OR I'M EXITING AND IF I WAS A RESIDENT AND I SAW I GO WOW THAT'S GREAT. YOU KNOW I THINK I'LL GO BACK FOR A PICTURE AT SOME POINT.

AGAIN TRYING TO CREATE DIALOGUE NOT IF YOU'RE DRIVING AND HAVE TO WITH THAT MOMENT TAKE A PICTURE. NO THAT WAS NOT THE INTENT. YEAH THERE IS ACCESS IS WHAT WE'RE SAYING. OK. AND WHEN WE DID THE OR WHEN WE HAD THIS SCULPTURE VEVO YOU YOU MENTIONED THAT THE ORIGINAL PIECE THAT YOU SUBMITTED WAS NOT SATISFACTORY AND YOU WENT BACK TO HIM AND SAID THIS ISN'T GOING TO WORK OR WHY COULD WE NOT DO THAT WITH RAY CAMS. OH THAT'S THAT IS THE PROCEDURE. YES. YOU KNOW WHEN AN ARTIST FROM ANOTHER PART OF THE NATION BECOMES A SEMIFINALIST THEY DO RESEARCH ABOUT TAMARA AND THEN THEY COME AND THEY PRESENT AND THERE AND THEY CALL US IN BETWEEN WITH QUESTIONS AND THEN THEY COME WITH THEIR IDEA BUT THEY COME AND THEY SAY THAT THE THE PRACTICE IS SUCH THAT THEY'RE COMING WITH THEIR IDEA. NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT. AND WE WORK WITH CHANGES ALL THE TIME COLOR CHANGES MOTIF CHANGES VERY VERY COMMON SOME. I HAD A PROJECT RECENTLY IN CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA WHERE WHAT I STARTED WITH A YEAR LATER AND THEY BROUGHT ME BACK EVERY MONTH. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANTED AT A LIBRARY AND EVERY TIME I CAME TO PRISON THEY SAID NOW WE WANT A CANOPY. OH WE WANT FUNCTIONAL FURNITURE. SO I DESIGNED THAT. OH WE WHAT THEY KEPT CHANGING THEIR IDEAS AND I'M FINE. YOU KNOW IT'S KIND OF FUN. AND WE ENDED UP WITH SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS STARTED. SO THAT'S A POSSIBILITY. SO IF INDEED THERE IS AN INCLINATION TO ACCEPT THE STYLE OF THIS PARTICULAR ARTIST WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT HE IS OPEN TO MAKING MODIFICATIONS THAT WOULD BE MORE TO THE LIKING OF THE COMMISSION. WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU AND THAT CAN THEN I'M SORRY. AND THEN THAT CAN BE COMMUNICATED TO THE ARTISTS. WE WOULD HAVE HIM COME BACK WITH ADDITIONAL RENDITIONS OF FOR YOUR REVIEW AS WELL AS PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE OF COURSE AND SEE IF HE'S ON POINT WITH WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. AND JUST TO CLARIFY I LIKED THE WORK OF BOTH RAY KING AND JOSH SIMMONS. I THINK JOHN JAMES RAY SIMMONS SORRY OF I JUST THINK THAT THE LOCATION FOR THE SIMMONS PIECE WOULD BE BETTER AT TAMARACK VILLAGE CREATING SOME OF THAT WHIMSY IN THE VILLAGE WOULD BE A GREAT THING TO DO. AND I THINK THAT PIECE WOULD HELP. BUT I'D ALSO LIKE TO SEE WHAT MR. KING COULD DO TO CHANGE IT UP A LITTLE BIT SO IT'S MORE TAMARACK SPECIFIC. YOU MEAN

[01:55:05]

SO A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE I'M NOT A FAN OF THE ONE THAT HE SUBMITTED FOR FOR THIS PLACE FOR THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION. AS FAR AS THE RAKING SCULPTURES I ACTUALLY I HAPPEN TO LIKE THEM. I THINK THAT THEY EMOTE A KIND OF CLASS AND STYLE THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO INCORPORATE ON OUR MAJOR ARTILLERY ROADWAYS. I UNDERSTAND WHIMSICAL GOAL AND I THINK YOU MENTIONED I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S AN INSECT BUT RAY KING WHEN YOU DESCRIBE THE RAY KING SCULPTURE FOR THE FIRST ONE FOR THIS ONE YOU HAD A DIFFERENT BEING THAT YOU SAW COMING THROUGH. I ACTUALLY SEE IT ILLUMINATED WITH A LITTLE OWL ON THE BOTTOM. HOLDING UP THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD SO TO SPEAK WITH THE WHIMSY AND FREE AND THINK THAT THE COLORS COULD BE AUGMENTED TO BE THAT WHICH FIT OUR CITY BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THE BLUES AND THE GREENS IN OUR CITY LOGO. MAYBE IT KALEIDOSCOPE. WITH OUR OTHER COLORS THAT ARE IN OUR LOGO THAT WE CAN USE TO INCORPORATE. I PERSONALLY DON'T FIND IT A DISQUALIFICATION THAT HE HAD SUCH A BRAIN AN IDEA THAT HE JUST HAD TO DO AND FOUND SOMETHING THAT HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO INCORPORATE INTO OUR CITY. I DON'T THINK THAT'S A NEGATIVE ITEM. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THEY MIGHT HAVE A PIECE IN CORAL SPRINGS MY QUESTION WOULD BE IS IT THE SAME LOOKING PIECE OF EITHER ONE OF THEM. IF IT IS THEN I UNDERSTAND THAT BEING A DISQUALIFICATION OR SOMETHING WE WANT TO ASK FOR SOME CHANGES BECAUSE WE DON'T WE ARE OUR OWN CITY. WE LOVE OUR SISTER CITY BUT WE'RE OUR OWN CITY SO THE ARTWORK DOES HAVE TO FIT US. IT IS ILLUMINATED WHICH IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ASK FOR WHICH IS A REQUIREMENT FOR THAT SPACE ALSO BEING ILLUMINATED TO WHERE IT'S NOT DETRIMENTAL TO DRIVERS AND ALSO THINKING ABOUT IT AS LIGHT SAID SUNSETS OR SUNRISES ON STEEL PIECES. THERE'S ALWAYS A CONCERN WHICH I KNOW WHICHEVER PIECE WE GO THROUGH YOU ALWAYS WORK THAT CONCERN THAT WE HAVE OUT. THE SECOND SCULPTURE BY RAKING ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A WORLD OR A GLOBE.

LOOKS LIKE TO ME IT'S ON THE TOP OF THE WATER. ABOUT AND WONDERFUL AS WELL. AND THAT TOO CAN ALSO HAVE VARYING COLORS AS YOU KIND OF SEE IT THROUGH THE GLOBE. SO I AM NOT ONE TO SAY NO TO THE RAKING SCULPTURES. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS AT LEAST A COUPLE OF PEOPLE ALSO ON THE COMMISSION WHO WAS FOR THAT OR FOR THAT PIECE. AND I THINK EITHER ONE OF THOSE OR MODIFIED ACCORDINGLY FOR OUR CITY WOULD BE A GOOD SCULPTURE AN ELEGANT SCULPTURE A WHIMSICAL ENOUGH SCULPTURE AND ALSO ONE THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR OUR INVENTORY. I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHERE THE LOCATION IS FOR

[02:00:06]

ARE YOU READY. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I PURPOSELY STAYED QUIET BECAUSE I DO SIT ON THE COMMITTEE AND I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING THAT MIGHT INFLUENCE ALTHOUGH I KNOW I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY INFLUENCE ANY WAY BUT I JUST WANTED TO HEAR WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAD TO SAY. AS YOU ALL KNOW WHEN THE JAMES SIMMONS WAS BROUGHT IN I DIDN'T LIKE IT. I MEAN I WAS VERY HONEST WITH YOU ALL THAT I WAS NOT A FAN SO THAT WAS MY MY POINT OF KEEPING QUIET AT THIS POINT. I THINK YOU KNOW MAYBE IN A PARK OR SOMETHING IT MIGHT BE CUTE IT MIGHT BE WHIMSICAL IN MY MIND THAT'S NOT THE FIRST THING I WANT SOMEONE TO SEE WHEN THEY COME INTO OUR CITY. IT'S NOT THE IMAGE WHERE WE'RE PORTRAYING. I LIKE THE RIGHT GAMES. I ALWAYS HAVE I SAID THAT INITIALLY AND I HAVEN'T CHANGED MY MIND WITH THAT I JUST THINK I LIKE THE IMAGE OF THEM. I THINK THE THE FIRST ONES THAT HE SHOWED THAT TO ME FOR SOME REASON REMINDED ME OF SOMETHING I MIGHT SEE AT EPCOT OR SOMETHING. IT JUST I THINK IT'S CLASSIC. I LIKE IT. I LIKE THE LOOKS OF IT. I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE TRYING TO GUIDE US THAT WE DON'T WANT ALL OUR PIECES TO LOOK ALIKE. I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT AND I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT IN THAT. BUT I ALSO THINK THAT WHERE WE PUT THESE PIECES IS IMPORTANT. AND IF WE WANT TO DO A WHIMSICAL PIECE LIKE THIS IN A PARK THAT MIGHT BE CUTE FOR THE KIDS AND TAKING PICTURES AND ALL BUT AS THE FIRST IMAGE TO OUR CITY IT JUST REALLY JUST DIDN'T WORK FOR ME. SO I WOULD SAY I'M IN FAVOR OF SOMETHING FOR MAKING THINGS AT THIS POINT. I'M GONNA GO FOR A CONSENSUS ON MY DOORSTEP. YEAH. COME ON. DON'T YELL AT ME WHEN WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING ON THE TIMELINE THAT EVERYBODY IS ASKED FOR. THAT'S ALL I ASK. GO AHEAD. I MEAN IN THE SHORT TIME THIS PIECE HAS GROWN ON ME. YOU KNOW. THE GORDON AND THE RAY ARE BASIC. I MEAN THEY'RE VERY NICE BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE SOMEWHERE ELSE. LIKE I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE IN SOME OTHER WAY SHAPE OR FORM OR FASHION BUT THIS I HAVE RARELY SEEN BEFORE. AND TO ME IT'S NOT THE FIRST IMAGE SOMEONE WOULD SEE OF TAMARA. THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE AS YOU LEAVE TIME RIGHT. GOING FOR THE HIRING GOING NORTH TO CORAL SPRINGS AND SOME OTHER CITIES. SO I MEAN I DO THINK IT'S UNIQUE. I DO THINK IT HAS A WILD FACTOR. BUT I WAS WONDERING IF CAN WE SHARE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMITTEE WITH THE WITH OUR COMMUNITY LIKE YOU KNOW THESE ARE THE FINAL THREE PIECES CAN WE SHARE IT WITH THE COMMUNITY AND GET THEIR FEEDBACK. OH WE WILL. IF THAT'S THE DESIRE OF THE COMMISSION SHOW US WE CAN TAKE SOME TIME AND DO THAT. BUT THAT HAS TO BE THE DESIRE OF THE COMMISSION. THAT'S THE DIRECTION YOU'D LIKE US TO GO. I'M PRETTY SURE WE'RE GETTING E-MAILS AND RESPONSES FROM THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING THE COMMISSION MEETING. AT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WATCHING. THEY DON'T ALWAYS WATCH RIGHT NOW. THEY WATCH LATER ON YOUR FACEBOOK.

COMMISSIONER BOLTON AND I WILL ADD THAT THE PIECE THAT WAS PUT I RAKING IN THE CITY COMMISSION AT CORAL SPRINGS IS NOT AT ALL LIKE WHAT HE HAS GIVEN US HERE. IT IS A SUSPENDED PIECE IN THEIR LOBBY AND IT'S POLISHED STAINLESS BOWLS THE ROLE BOWLS HANGING FROM THE CEILING. SO THEY'RE NOT AT ALL THE SAME. BUT HIS OTHER SCULPTURES IN MIAMI AND THE VICINITY ARE VERY SIMILAR CAN I HAVE A JPEG OF THE THREE DIFFERENT IMAGES OF THE FINAL PIECES FROM THE THREE FINALISTS. I MEAN THEY ARE WE ALL GOING TO

[02:05:06]

YEAH I LIKE THE SIMMONS PIECE OR PERHAPS TIME OR VILLAGE OR ANOTHER LOCATION IN THE CITY WHERE IT TO ME IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE THAT PEOPLE COULD STOP RIGHT TAKE PICTURES MAKE COMMENT. YEAH. AND ON THE RAY KING I WOULD SAY HE NEEDS TO COME BACK AND MAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE TAMARACK SPECIFIC PIECE OF ART. CAN YOU ASSIST ON GIVING A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE WOULD BE THAT THE FIRST PIECE LOOKS KIND OF. I THINK YOU SAID IT WAS LIKE A LOTUS BLOSSOM. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF LOTUS BLOSSOMS IN OUR CITY. IS MAYBE MORE OF AN ORCHID LOOK OR A BIRD OF PARADISE. LOOK SOMETHING LIKE SOMETHING THAT'S MORE SOUTH FLORIDA THAN LOTUS MAYBE CITY COLORS INCORPORATED. MM HMM. THE CHAIR FOR ME. SHE'S I'M. THANK YOU. SO TO OUR ARTISTS EXPERTS WAS WAS THE GOAL HERE TO MAXIMIZE VISIBILITY AS WE MOVE THIS TO TAMARACK VILLAGE AND GET AS MUCH VISIBILITY AS YOU WOULD. WITH THIS BEING IN THIS LOCATION BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING THOUSANDS OF CARS PER DAY GOING UP THIS WAY AND GOING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAYS THIS WOULD MAXIMIZE VISIBILITY AND PEOPLE MIGHT SAY OH YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK OUT THAT PIECE YOU KNOW GOING TO BUY 75. THAT'S WHY I AM PLANNING. ULTIMATELY THE GOAL FOR THE TAMARACK VILLAGE WOULD BE A GATHERING PLACE A COMMUNITY GATHERING PLACE. AND I PREFER EMILY BELIEVE THAT IT WILL CREATE A LOT OF BUZZ AND THERE WILL BE VISIBILITY THERE TO WHEN ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE TO SPLASH PAD WE JUST A LOT. SO THE MORE THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE GIVING THE RESIDENTS TO EXPERIENCE WHEN THEY ARE AT A LOCATION IT THEN CAUSES THEM TO COME BACK TO THAT LOCATION AND AS WELL AS OF COURSE VISITORS AS WELL. SO I DON'T THINK WE ARE BY REMOVING IT FROM THAT LOCATION. WE'RE NOT WE'RE PREVENTING IT FROM GETTING. NO.

RIGHT. OR VISIBILITY EVEN AT A GREATER SCALE AT THE AT THE VILLAGE YOU'RE OKAY WITH IT BEING. I'M I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. IT ULTIMATELY IS THE COMMITTEE IN YOU KNOW. BUT I I COULD LIVE WITH THAT. HOW WOULD I CHANGE THE CURRENT PLAN FOR THE ARTWORK IN TAMARACK VILLAGE. BECAUSE YOU'RE SAYING LIKE A MOSAIC WALL OR SOMETHING. OH IT DOESN'T CHANGE IT THAT'S ALREADY IN PROGRESS THAT WE WOULD BRING FORWARD. THIS WOULD BE ADDING WE HAD ALWAYS SIMPLE TO ADD ANOTHER LOCATION OF THE FREESTANDING SCULPTURE THAT'S JUST TO ALSO IF I MAY GIVE YOU JUST A THOUGHT FOR CONSIDERATION IF INDEED IT'S THE LIKING OF THE COMMISSION TO HAVE THIS PARTICULAR PIECE AT THE VILLAGE IT MIGHT WORK WELL WITH NO COLOR. MY ONLY COUNTER COMMENT AND THIS IS JUST BECAUSE I'M IN A DEVIL'S ADVOCATE MODE SO FORGIVE ME. WE HAD JUST SAID THAT WE DON'T WANT THE SAME PIECE THAT WAS IN SOMEWHERE NOT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

IF YOU'RE TAKING THAT EXACT SAME PIECE THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE THEN YOU'RE LOSING OUR ORIGINALITY. SO THAT'S ONE THAT I WOULD SAY NOTHING OF THE COLOR. SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT THE BICYCLE THE CARS AS PRESENTED AS A CONCEPT FOR. IF INDEED YOU WANTED TO HAVE ANOTHER LOCATION IT MIGHT LEND ITSELF WELL TO BE. NO. WE'LL JUST USE THIS AS AN EXAMPLE THE REASON WHY THESE WORK WELL WITH NO COLOR IS BECAUSE THE BACKDROP AND SO THEY'RE NOT COMPETING WITH THE BAND. FORGIVE ME SO YOU WERE SAYING TO TAKE THE BICYCLE WITHOUT COLOR. THAT'S QUITE DIFFERENT TOO. YES. WELL I THINK IF YOU DON'T MIND THEM I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE GONNA COME AROUND YOU'VE GOT A LOT MORE FOR DISCUSSION WHEN IT COMES TO TAMARACK VILLAGE AND THE ARTWORK AND WE STILL HAVE

[4. Presentation to the Commission on People Profile Awards]

THIS PRESENTATION WILL BE TO US BY FOUNDER DR. ALLAN CUNNINGHAM AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CAROL CHANG. I HOPE I PRONOUNCE YOUR NAME RIGHT. I DID NOT SAY YOU COULD FIX IT IT'S GOOD. THANK YOU. UNIFORM. OH YES. WELL WHERE ARE YOU. RIGHT. OH THANK YOU. YES. OH YOU KNOW I LOVE THAT ONE. OK. GOOD AFTERNOON MA'AM. COMMISSIONERS VICE MAYOR COMMISSIONERS CITY MANAGERS AND ATTORNEY. MY NAME IS CAROL CHAN AND I'M EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF PEOPLE PROFILE. I HAVE ALONG WITH ME FOUNDER OF THE ALLEN CUNNINGHAM AND WE HAVE A VIDEO TODAY. AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF WE CAN GO AHEAD AND SHOW IT BEFORE I GO INTO MY PRESENTATION ON AUGUST OF 2015. DR. ELLEN G. CUNNINGHAM HAD A VISION TO CREATE A COMMUNITY OF ORDINARY PEOPLE DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS. USING THEIR STORIES TO EDUCATE AND. MOTIVATE. AND INSPIRE. US. ON SUNDAY JULY 14 20 19 AT 6 P.M.. YOU'RE INVITED TO THE FOURTH ANNUAL PEOPLE PROFILE AWARDS CEREMONY. AT THE BROWARD CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS. I'M A TOUR A THEATER.

COME CELEBRATE THE HEROES AMONG US TICKETS AT TICKETMASTER DOT COM BROWARD CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS. OH I'M LESS ROUND AND I WANT TO THANK PEOPLE FOR FILE STORIES FOR THE INSPIRATION AWARD. THIS IS THE WAY I WANT TO THANK THE PROPOFOL ORGANIZATION TO HONOR ME WITH THIS AWARD. I AM TRULY TRULY GRATEFUL. LOG ON TO PEOPLE PROFILE DOT ORG THANK YOU. IN AUGUST OF 2015 PEOPLE PROFILE WAS BORN. THE VISION OF PEOPLE PROFILE ORGANIZATION IS TO RECOGNIZE AND HIGHLIGHT ORDINARY PEOPLE DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS IN OUR COMMUNITY. THE FOCAL POINT IS TO UPLIFT THE COMMUNITY THROUGH A COHESIVE AND COHESIVE EFFORT AND DEDICATED SERVICE AND CREATIVE CREATIVITY. A COMMITTED TEAM OF ESTEEMED EXECUTIVES HAVE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY ON TRANSFORMING INDIVIDUALS WITH OR IMPACTFUL MISSION. HERE ARE THE

[02:15:06]

THEY WERE DOING SO MANY GOOD THINGS IN THE IN THE COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW SOMETIMES SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THEY DON'T SET OUT TO GET AWARDED FOR THE GOOD THAT YOU'RE DOING IN THE COMMUNITY. BUT IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD THING WHEN PEOPLE CAN RECOGNIZE WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN THE COMMUNITY TO THAT END.

AND SO THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE PROFILE DOES AND NOT ONLY GIVE PEOPLE THE ABILITY TO BE AWARDED BUT THROUGH THEIR EFFORTS THEY ATTACHED THEM THEIRSELVES TO DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP THEM AS WELL. LIKE THE HAITIAN AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION. IT'S IN THIS TRUST AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT I'VE PERSONALLY BEEN ATTACHED TO THROUGHOUT MY LIFE AS A PUBLIC SERVANT. AND SO THIS WAS WAS CLOSE AND DEAR TO MY HEART AND I THOUGHT THAT THE COMMISSION WOULD BE APPRECIATED TO TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND PERHAPS I'LL BECOME A PART OF IT IN SOME WAY. ATTEND THE SHOW AND SEE WHAT IT'S ABOUT. AND YOU KNOW JUST INDULGE THEM IN THEIR THANK YOU VERY MUCH COMMISSION AND GO THAT'S NO. HOW MUCH MONEY WAS RAISED AT THE EVENT LAST YEAR. LAST YEAR WE EARNED THREE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS. THAT WAS WITH LESS BROWN AS THE RECIPIENT. HE WAS ONE OF THE RECIPIENTS.

DID DWAYNE WADE MAKE A PERSONAL OR CONTRIBUTION TO HIS FOUNDATION. NO BUT HE WAS AWARDED BASED ON HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE SPORTS FOUNDATION THAT YES AND HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN ATTENDANCE LAST YEAR. SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY EIGHT UM SO ONE OF THE BENEFACTORS OF THE ORGANIZATION OR YOUR EFFORTS IS KIDS IN DISTRESS. WHAT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. WELL LAST YEAR WE HAD SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING KIWANIS OF GREATER SUNRISE. WE HAD THE. THE FAMILY ESSENTIALS. BUT THIS YEAR THE BOARD DECIDED TO MAKE JUST ONE DONATION TO KIDS IN DISTRESS AND WHAT WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF US SUPPORTING YOUR ORGANIZATION VERSUS GIVING TO KIDS IN DISTRESS DIRECTLY. WELL ONE OF THE THING THAT TO ME FOCUS ON IS INCREASED PARTICIPATION OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH RECOGNITION AS YOU KNOW THAT RECOGNITION GIVES RISE TO INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY AND IT GIVES RISE TO HIGHER SELF-ESTEEM FOR THE INDIVIDUALS AND FOR ENTITIES AS WELL. SO THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO FOCUS ON INCREASE AWARENESS AND

[02:20:05]

[5. Discussion on Social Media]

GOOD AFTERNOON WITH BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS SENIOR STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER.

THIS DISCUSSION DOESN'T NEED TO BE LONG. WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON WHERE WE ARE WITH SOCIAL MEDIA AND THEN HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CAVEATS RELATED TO SOCIAL MEDIA USE BY THE COMMISSION. SO WITH THAT OK SO IF YOU'LL RECALL WE NEEDED TO EXPAND OUR COMMUNICATIONS CHANNELS TO BETTER REACH ALL SEGMENTS OF OUR RESIDENTS. AND WE'RE HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME DOING THAT. AND SO YOU GAVE US ADDITIONAL STAFFING WHICH ALLOWS US TO MAKE A MUCH STRONGER SOCIAL COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL MEDIA. SO WITH ALL OF THE OPTIONS OUT THERE HOW DO WE CHOOSE WHICH ONES TO USE. WELL THERE ARE TWO KEY FACTORS. ONE POPULARITY WITH OUR TARGET AUDIENCE BUT A PRIMARY IMPORTANCE IS THE ABILITY TO ARCHIVE AS YOU KNOW AS A GOVERNMENT ENTITY WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO KEEP A ROLLING RECORD OF WHAT GOES ON BASED ON THAT. WE'RE FOCUSING OUR EFFORTS ON FACEBOOK. THE CITY HAS A GENERAL ACCOUNT PARKS AND REC HOUSE AND WE COUNT CERTAIN ORGANIZATION HAS AN ACCOUNT AND THEY'RE GOING TO COUNT FOR TURKEY. WE'RE ALSO ON TWITTER INSTAGRAM YOUTUBE AND FACEBOOK RIGHT NOW. ALL OF THESE ARE POPULATED SOLELY BY CITY STAFF AND FRANKLY WE MONITOR THOSE POSTINGS VERY CLOSELY WE'VE LONG WANTED TO USE A NEW OPTION NEXT DOOR. BUT WE WERE BLOCKED BY THE INABILITY TO ARCHIVE WELL THAT BARRIER IS GONE NOW AND THE CITY BEEN BEGUN POSTING ON A REGULAR BASIS. NEXT DOOR ALSO PROVIDES THE ABILITY FOR EACH MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION TO POST ON THE CITY SITE. NOW THE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE WILL BE HAPPY TO SET UP YOUR ACCOUNTS DOESN'T TAKE VERY LONG. EACH COMMISSIONER WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR DISTRICT. THE MAYOR WILL HAVE ACCESS CITYWIDE. THIS WILL BE AND IT'S IMPORTANT. THIS IS THIS IS WHY WE'RE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION TODAY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE CITY'S SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS WILL NOT COME SOLELY FIRST FROM STAFF AND BECAUSE OF THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CAVEATS THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF. REMIND YOU OF SOME INSTANCES JUST TO STAY ON THE SAFE SIDE AND JACOB WILL TALK YOU THROUGH THAT OK. GOOD EVENING MAYOR.

COMMISSION THANK YOU RELEASED JUST A COUPLE OBSERVATIONS JUST TO DOVETAIL ON WHAT ELISE HAD INITIALLY STARTED WITH STARTING SPECIFICALLY WITH NEXT DOOR. AND I HAVE A COUPLE OF SLIDES THAT GET INTO JUST SOME GENERAL ISSUES AND CONCERNS REGARDING SOCIAL MEDIA AS A GENERAL MATTER. NEXT DOOR IT IS ELISE SAID THERE INITIALLY WAS A BARRIER TO THE CITY'S UTILIZATION OF NEXT DOOR AS IT RELATED TO RETENTION AND ARCHIVING OF CERTAIN PUBLIC RECORD INFORMATION. THEY NOW HAVE AN OPTION THAT ALLOWS FOR ACCOUNTS BY WHAT ARE CALLED SPECIAL ENTITIES WHICH THEY SPECIFIC FUNCTION WITHIN THE NEXT DOOR APPLICATION THAT ALLOWS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT GOVERNMENTAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES PUBLIC UTILITIES QUASI GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES TO CREATE THESE NEXT DOOR PAGES. IT'S ESSENTIALLY A TWO FOLD APPROACH. WE HAVE THESE CITIES PAGE BUT IT ALSO ALLOWS PUBLIC OFFICIALS TO UTILIZE NEXT DOOR AS A MATTER OF OPERATIONS IS ANOTHER TOOL IN THE COMMUNICATION TOOL BOX. ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT THE THE TERMS OF SURFACE FOR SPECIAL ENTITIES SPECIFICALLY PROVIDES FOR. ONE IS THAT IT ISN'T OFFICIAL PAGE SO IT CAN ONLY BE USED IN YOUR OFFICIAL CAPACITY OR OFFICIAL BUSINESS. THIS IS NOT REALLY A PAGE LIKE FACEBOOK OR SOME OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS WHERE YOU MAY INTERMINGLE

[02:25:03]

SUNSHINE LAW TELLS US THAT ANY MEETING OF TWO OR MORE MEMBERS OF A COLLEGIAL BODY AND OBVIOUSLY ALL ARE A COLLEGIAL BODY NEEDS TO BE IN AN OPEN FORUM WITH NOTICE PROVIDED IN MINUTES TAKEN. THAT'S TRUE OF TODAY'S WORKSHOP. IT'S TRUE WHETHER IT IS COMMISSION MEETING BUT THE SAME CONCEPT ALSO APPLIES ON THE INTERNET AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. SO IF ANY TWO OF YOU OR ANY TWO MEMBERS OF ANY COLLEGIAL BODY ACHES THE SAME ANALYSIS WOULD APPLY TO YOUR ADVISORY BOARDS OR IN ANY BODY THAT WAS SUBJECT TO THE SUNSHINE LAW BUT IF ANY TWO OR MORE MEMBERS OF A COLLEGIAL BODY ARE ENGAGING IN AN INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION ON A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM THAT IS A MEETING UNDER FLORIDA LAW FOR PURPOSES OF THE SUNSHINE LAW REFORM. SO IN OTHER WORDS THE TWO OF YOU. MUCH LIKE YOU CAN'T HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT CITY BUSINESS OUTSIDE OF A PUBLIC NOTICE MEETING WITH MINUTES TAKEN. THE SAME WOULD APPLY ONLINE. SO IF IF ANY ONE OF YOU HAS A PERSONAL FACEBOOK PAGE THAT YOU USE FOR OFFICIAL BUSINESS OR IF THE CITY HAS ITS OWN SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS THAT ARE USED FOR CITY BUSINESS TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION TO MEMBERS OF THE ARTS THE ARTS ADVISORY BOARD TO MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD GET ONTO THOSE PLATFORMS AND HAVE A DIALOGUE. IT'S THAT SAME INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION PROHIBITION YOU

[02:30:02]

MS. RANDALL CHAIRMAN RANDALL SHE HAD A FACEBOOK PAGE THAT SHE UTILIZED AND ON HER FACEBOOK PAGE. THERE'S SOMEBODY A COMBINATION OF PERSONAL AND PUBLIC BUSINESS ON THE PAGE. AND AT ONE POINT THERE WAS A CONSTITUENT MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WHO WAS POSTING SOME INFORMATION THAT WAS ALLEGING A NUMBER OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS WERE ENGAGED IN SOME CORRUPT ACTIVITIES AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER IT WAS TRUE OR NOT. SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ANY REAL INSIGHT AS TO THE MERITS OF THE ALLEGATIONS BUT SHE DIDN'T LIKE THE NATURE OF WHAT WAS BEING SAID SO SHE BLOCKED THIS PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL FROM ACCESSING HER FACEBOOK PAGE. SHE IN FACT ONLY HAD HIM BLOCKED FOR ABOUT TWENTY EIGHT HOURS BECAUSE AFTER RETHINKING THE BLOCKING SHE LIFTED THE BLOCK THAT DIDN'T STOP HIM FROM SUING HER AND THE COUNTY AT THE TIME ALLEGING THAT A PUBLIC FORUM HAD BEEN CREATED AND THAT SHE HAD ENGAGED IN UNLAWFUL FIRST AMENDMENT VIEWPOINT DISCRIMINATION BY NOT ALLOWING ACCESS BY A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC TO HER FACEBOOK ACCOUNT. THERE WAS A VERY DETAILED ANALYSIS THAT THE APPELLATE COURT RENDERED AND WE PROVIDED AN OPINION TO YOU ALL ON

[02:35:05]

[02:40:03]

ALL RIGHT. SO I THINK THIS IS A IS A GREAT IDEA IN AN EFFORT TO SHOW THAT WE ARE TRANSPARENT. I ASKED THE CITY MANAGER TO GIVE US ACCESS TO NEXT DOOR AND I'M GLAD THAT THIS IS A RESULT OF THAT CONVERSATION. AND THAT REQUEST I THINK NEXT DOOR IS A GREAT TOOL TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TO TELL THE COMMUNITY WHAT WE'RE DOING TO SHOW THE COMMUNITY THAT WE ACTUALLY ARE ENGAGING THEM AND TELL THEM ABOUT COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND DISTRICT MEETINGS AND NOT GREAT STUFF. SO I THINK YOU AT LEAST FOR WORKING ON THAT FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT COMES ON STREAM. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE THE CHAIR TO THE ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY IS WHAT WOULD YOUR OPINION BE GOING FORWARD. FOR INSTANCE ON NEXT DOOR SEEING THAT THE CITY IS ALREADY HOSTING WHAT THE COMMISSIONER'S POST WOULD SIMILARLY BE ARCHIVED SO THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY DRAWBACKS BECAUSE THE CITY'S ALREADY ENGAGING ON NEXT DOOR. I WOULD AGREE. GOOD. AND THEN A QUESTION TO ELISE HOW DO WE ARCHIVE THE INFORMATION CURRENTLY ON FACEBOOK OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AS WELL AS NEXT DOOR. WE HAVE.

EXCUSE ME WE HAVE AN OUTSIDE SERVICE THAT DOES THAT FOR US. OK. WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE OUTSIDE SERVER ARCHIVE SOCIAL ARCHIVES OK. AND THEN SO WHEN WE ARE ON NEXT DOOR.

THIS FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT OUR DISTRICT IS CARVED OUT AND SO WOULD BE ABLE TO PUSH INFORMATION TO ALL OF DISTRICT. HOW MANY PEOPLE DID YOU HAVE A BREAKDOWN. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE UNMIXED DOOR IN EACH DISTRICT OR CITYWIDE TOTAL. I

[02:45:07]

[02:50:05]

[02:55:03]

THE ISSUE IS THE INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION. THERE ALSO IS AS I SAID THAT ISSUE OF THE INTERMEDIARY CONCEPT WHERE IF YOU GET UP AND SPEAK AT AN HLA MEETING AND THEN THE MAYOR GETS UP AND DOESN'T SPEAK TO YOU BUT SPEAKS TO THE HLA BOARD BUT IS DIRECTLY RESPONDING TO YOUR COMMENTS IT COULD BE PERCEIVED AS A COMMUNICATION AS AN INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU USING A THIRD PARTY. IT WENT WHEN IT'S INEVITABLE THAT MEMBERS OF THE SAME COLLEGIAL BODY WILL ATTEND A JOINT MEETINGS AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT'S TRUE AND THE LAW UNDERSTANDS THAT TO BE TRUE YOU KNOW FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE FROM THE FROM THE ATTORNEYS OFFICE ACTIVITY YOU NEED TO BE MINDFUL ONE THAT PERCEPTION IS REALITY AND THAT WHEN YOU ATTEND THOSE MEETINGS YOU JUST NEED TO BE ON YOUR GUARD THAT THERE ARE OTHER RESTRICTIONS LIMITATIONS AND YOU'RE IN A PUBLIC ROOM WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PAYING A LOT OF ATTENTION. WE WOULD CAUTION YOU AGAINST SITTING TOGETHER AT THOSE MEETINGS. THERE ARE INSTANCES NOT IN TAMARACK BUT SOME OTHER CITIES WHERE THEY HAVE A POLICY WHERE IF ONE MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION ATTENDS NHL A MEETING GETS UP TO SPEAK THE OTHER MEMBERS WILL LEAVE THE ROOM. THAT'S A POLICY THAT THEY'VE TAKEN UPON THEMSELVES TO IMPLEMENT. I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE JUST AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW SOME OTHER BODIES HAVE ADDRESSED THAT ISSUE. BUT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE BOTH OR AT LEAST TWO OF YOU ARE AT A JOEY MEETING OR ANOTHER PUBLIC MEETING ONE OF YOU GETS UP AND SPEAKS AND THE OTHERS MAY HEAR THAT CONVERSATION THAT WILL NOT TRIGGER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SUNSHINE LAW UNLESS THERE IS AN INTERACTION AND THEN THERE'S A DIALOGUE RESTRICTED TO ONLY ITEMS THAT RELATE TO THE CITY OR IF I MAKE A POST ABOUT THE MIAMI HEAT AND SOMEBODY ELSE RESPONDS MATTERS THAT WILL FORCIBLY COME BEFORE THIS COMMISSION. THERE CAN BE A DIALOGUE INVOLVED AND THE SUNSHINE LAW IS NOT INTENDED TO PREVENT YOU FROM BEING FRIENDS OR SEEING EACH OTHER SOCIALLY. KEEPING IN MIND THAT PERCEPTION IS OFTEN REALITY AND IF YOU KNOW YOU'RE OUT IN PUBLIC AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER OR THE DOLPHINS OR THE HEATER IT'S THE CASE WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE IT MAY BE INNOCUOUS AND INNOCENT ENOUGH INTO IT BUT THE PERCEPTION OF THAT CONVERSATION COULD BE SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT. HAS ANYONE EVER CHALLENGED THE LAW ABOUT THE SUNSHINE LAW ABOUT SOME SOCIAL MEDIA POLLS AND RESPONSES NOT ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA. NO.

THERE ACTUALLY ARE NO STATE COURT DECISIONS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA REGARDING ANY OF THESE ISSUES SPECIFIC TO SOCIAL MEDIA. THERE IS SUNSHINE LAW CASES THAT GO BACK QUITE A FEW YEARS. THERE'S THE FEDERAL TRIAL COURT DECISION REGARDING THE PRESIDENT'S TWITTER ACCOUNT AND THE ONLY FEDERAL APPELLATE COURT DECISION THAT'S BEEN ISSUED THUS FAR IS THE DAVIDSON VERSUS RANDALL CASE OUT OF VIRGINIA SO FOR FOUR FOR THE WARMERS I GUESS THE CITY MANAGER OR CIO IF WE DECIDE TO TAKE A SPECIAL ENTITY ACCOUNT WE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO OUR DISTRICT ONLY. WHY DON'T WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE CITY. BECAUSE ON MATTERS THAT WE VOTE ON MOST OFTEN IT IMPACTS THE ENTIRE CITY. WELL IT'S JUST LIKE A DISTRICT MAILING LISTS.

WE SEND OUT A MAILING IT GOES TO YOUR DISTRICT. RIGHT. IT'S THE SAME PROCESS RIGHT. BUT BUT BUT THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE LIKE THERE I'M GOING TO BE VOTING ON TODAY. THAT IMPACTS THE ENTIRE CITY SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIRST OF ALL HOW DOES NEXT DOOR. I'M SORRY. JACOB HOW DOES HOW DO HOW DO THEY DEFINE POLITICAL ACTIVITY THAT MEAN CAMPAIGNING PROMOTING YOURSELF IN TERMS OF. I'M RUNNING FOR OFFICE OR DOES THAT MEAN WE CAN'T DISCUSS ITEMS THAT ARE COMING BEFORE. I'LL READ YOU THE LANGUAGE I MADE. THIS IS AGAIN FROM THEIR TERMS OF SERVICE. SPECIAL ENTITY ACCOUNTS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE USED FOR MARKETING PURPOSES OR FOR WE USED TO ADVOCATE FOR OR AGAINST A PARTICULAR CANDIDATE OFFICE HOLDER POLITICAL PARTY OR BALLOT MEASURE I.E. CAMPAIGNING OR POLITIC SO THEN SO THEN ALL WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO BASED ON THOSE DEFINITIONS IS POST BOTH THOSE AGENDAS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. AGAIN I CAN'T BEGIN TO CONTEMPLATE WHAT YOU WOULD DO WHAT YOU WANT BUT ACTIVITY BEYOND POLITICAL ACTIVITY MIGHT BE ABLE TO ENGAGE IN I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THERE IS QUITE A BIT BUT I DO WITH THE RESTRICTION TELLS US. OKAY SO I DO HAVE A PERSONAL ON NEXT TO OUR ACCOUNT THEN. SO I JUST USE MY NAME. I DON'T IDENTIFY MYSELF AS A CITY COMMISSIONER BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WILL KNOW OBVIOUSLY THAT I'M A CITY COMMISSIONER. AND SO I WAS CALLED OUT BECAUSE A CAR WAS STILL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND SO MY AS A CONTACT YOUR COMMISSIONER LIVES ON THAT SAME BLOCK. I MEAN RESPOND IF I DID RESPOND IN THAT PUBLIC RECORD.

ABSOLUTELY. AND THAT IS ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT PUBLIC OFFICIALS CAN

[03:00:04]

TYPICALLY IT'S THE IT'S THE PUBLIC OFFICIALS IT'S YOU ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COLLEGIAL BODY THAT ARE TYPICALLY FOUND TO BE IN VIOLATION OR ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN IN VIOLATION. IN THAT CASE THE FORMER CEO AND THE FORMER GENERAL COUNSEL ALSO CHARGED THAT THEY WEREN'T CHARGED WITH SUNSHINE LAW VIOLATIONS THEY WERE CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT SUNSHINE LAW VIOLATIONS AND SOLICITATION OF SUNSHINE LAW VIOLATIONS. SO IT WAS WAS A SECONDARY OFFENSE THAT HELPED CARRY THE SAME PENALTIES AS THE UNDERLYING CHARGE BUT IT WAS SPECIFIC TO THAT CONDUIT THEORY THAT LED TO THOSE CHARGES. OK. SO I GUESS THE GUIDELINES ARE EXTREMELY CAREFUL CAREFUL DON'T OFTEN AN OPINION THAT MAY BE MISCONSTRUED BECAUSE I COULD SEE THEM SAYING WELL COMMISSIONER PASCOE TOLD ME YOU KNOW SHE'S IN FAVOR OF THIS BUT COMMISSIONER BOLTON SAID HE'S NOT IN FAVOR OF IT. AND THEN YOU GET THAT AND THAT PERSON MAY NEVER GO BACK AND COMMUNICATE HOW YOU FELT TO THE MAYOR OR TO COMMISSIONER BOLTON SO THAT THERE MAY NOT BE THE COMPLETION OF THAT INTERACTION BECAUSE IT TAKES ALL THE LOOPS NEED TO BE RAISED IN ORDER TO CIRCLE THAT. OK. ALL IN ALL I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. ALSO KEEP IN MIND EVERYBODY THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLES

[03:05:11]

[03:10:01]

[03:15:04]

OBVIOUSLY I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING. THIS BECAUSE I BROUGHT IT UP AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE BUILDING IT. IT HAD TO BE BUILT OUT FOR IT. IT'S TRUE CITYWIDE. THAT'S STILL IN THE BUILD OUT OF IT. DO YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO POST CITYWIDE I GET A TYPE OF POST AND THEN I CAN SELECT AN OPTION AND SEE CITY WIDE OR I CAN SAVE DISTRICT IT'S BEEN STRUCTURED SO THAT IT'S BROKEN UP BY DISTRICT FOR COMMISSIONER AND THEN CITYWIDE FOR THE MAYOR I THINK THE ANSWER IS NO ONE OR THE OTHER. SO YOU DON'T HAVE A THERE'S NO WAY OF SAYING IT DOESN'T EXIST OR IT WASN'T BUILT THAT WASN'T BUILT THAT WAY. WE CAN GO BACK AND SEE IF IT'S DOABLE. BECAUSE IF IT'S DOABLE THEN THE OPTION TO HAVE IT WOULDN'T HURT. LET'S SAY COMMISSIONER FISHMAN IS SPONSORING A EXPUNGEMENT AND SEALING WORKSHOP AND SHE WANTS TO POST THAT. THE MAYOR IS LIKE I DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT SEALING EXPUNGING BUT SHE WANTS IT TO GO CITYWIDE THAN I THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO WHAT WAS CITYWIDE INSTEAD OF THE DISTRICT THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT ARE JUST YOU KNOW IT'S JUST DISTRICT RELATED LIKE POSTING SOMETHING ABOUT MY DISTRICT MEETING IS DISTRICT RELATED. SO I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS I WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE CITY ACCESS IF IF I'M POSTING A FLYER REGARDING MY DISTRICT MEETING I WOULDN'T WANT THAT TO GO CITYWIDE. BUT IF THERE WOULD BE AN OPTION TO CHOOSE EITHER CITY OR DISTRICT I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT OPTION. IF THAT MAKES SENSE. BECAUSE HAVING A DEVELOPMENT ON WOODLAND IN THE WOODLANDS ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD DOESN'T JUST AFFECT DISTRICT 2 BUT IT AFFECTS DISTRICT 1 BECAUSE WE'RE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT IS BEING POSTED SOMETHING LIKE YOU CAN CERTAINLY SEE WHAT'S BEING I UNDERSTAND BUT I ALSO WANT TO BE ABLE TO NOT JUST SEE WHAT'S BEING POSTED. I WANT TO SEE YOU I'M SAYING. SO IT'S LIKE I DON'T I DON'T WANT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN DISTRICT TO AFFECT DISTRICT 1 AND DISTRICT 1 RESIDENTS. I'VE BEEN ADAMANT I WON'T SAY WHETHER FOR OR AGAINST BUT THEY'VE BEEN VERY ADAMANT ABOUT THAT. AND SO WHATEVER HAPPENS ALONG COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD. IN SOMETHING AS SIMPLE OR COMPLEX AS THE STADIUM GOING INTO FORT LAUDERDALE POSSIBLY ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD. THEY HAVE REACHED OUT TO ME ON THAT AND SO THAT COULD TRICKLE IN TO DISTRICT TO DISTRICT SO I THINK WE'D NEVER EXPLORED THAT OPTION BEFORE WE ASKED FOR CONSENSUS. SO I I WOULD I WOULD ASK THAT WITH THAT OPTION IF

[03:20:02]

[03:25:07]

BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE COOLER. HAVE THE CITY LOGO ON.

ARE WE ABLE TO DESIGN OUR FLYERS AND PUSH IT OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA IDG FACEBOOK IDG MEANING INSTAGRAM IF I DID YOU. INSTEAD I LOVE YOU. INSTAGRAM FACEBOOK MAKES FOR WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO PUT OUT FLYERS. WELL I WANT TO BE ABLE TO PUT OUT FLYERS AND THERE'S SOMETIMES THOSE FLYERS I WANT TO USE THE LOGO SO TIME INTO MY QUESTION ABOUT THE POLICY. WHAT DO WE NEED. WOULD IT BE BEST IF WE HAVE A POLICY THAT TALKS ABOUT THE USE OF LOGO ON SOCIAL MEDIA GIVING US THE ABILITY TO USE THE LOGO AND FLYERS THAT WE INDIVIDUALLY PUSH OUT OR WOULD IT BE SAFE TO SAY THAT WE DON'T REALLY MIND ABSENT A POLICY OR WHAT IT'S A MARRIED COUPLE OBSERVATIONS ONE THE CITY HAS A SEAL THE CITY ALSO HAS A LOGO. BOTH HAVE BEEN REGISTERED BOTH ARE PROTECTED BOTH ARE PROPRIETARY TO THE CITY. ABSENT A POLICY APPROVED BY THIS COMMISSION THAT AUTHORIZES THE USE OF THE CITY SEAL OR THE CITY LOGO WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION OR MEMBERS OF STAFF INDIVIDUALLY NOT USE THOSE INITIAL SO THEN WE COME BACK TO IF THERE WAS A POLICY IF THERE WAS A POLICY THAT PERMITTED IT IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT. RIGHT. SO DO YOU THINK THEN WE SHOULD EXPLORE HAVING A POLICY SO THAT YOU USE LOCAL BE GRANTED. I WOULD DEFER TO THE FIVE OF YOU I KNOW YOUR PATIENCE LEVEL IS AT A MINIMUM BUT COME ON ANYWAY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I AM UNDERSTANDING YOUR REQUEST AND ALSO MAKE SURE IF WE'RE GOING TO ASK FOR ANYTHING TO BE WRITTEN THE PARAMETERS OF WHAT SO ARE YOU ASKING FOR A FULL FETTERED UN USE OF OUR LOGO. OR ARE YOU WANTING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF PARAMETERS THAT WOULD KEEP US IN LINE WITH OUR CURRENT RULES AND REGULATIONS OF HOW OUR CITY USES THEM. ARE YOU ASKING FOR A SPECIFIC CHANGE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE PUT OUT THESE FLIERS BEFORE AND THERE'S SOMETHING IN YOUR ANSWER. MARTIN COMMISSIONER BOLTON QUITE HONESTLY I HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD THE ABILITY OF CHANGING SOME OF THE FLYERS FOR PERSONAL USE THAT CUTS OUT A COMMISSION BASED THING. AND I'VE THOUGHT IT'S BEEN VERY NARROW IN SCOPE AND BEEN MORE INDIVIDUAL VERSUS TEAM ORIENTED. SO WHILE THEY MAY LOOK FOR I'M NOT GOING TO DO THIS WITH YOU. COMMISSIONER BOLTON YOU'RE ASKING FOR A POLICY AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR US TO TALK ABOUT IT FOR SOME SPECIFIC PURPOSE IN MIND. AND SO BEFORE WE START DISCUSSING IT AND THEN HAVING IT COME BACK AROUND BECAUSE WE'VE MISSED A PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO US AT THE BEGINNING I'M ASKING FOR ALL THE INFORMATION NOW. SO IF YOU ARE SUGGESTING BECAUSE I'M MAN ENOUGH TO SAYING IF YOU'RE SUGGESTING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE TIME AROUND AND HOW I DESIGNED MY OWN FLYER SENT I DIDN'T THINK THAT THE CITY WAS DOING A VERY GOOD JOB DESIGNING THAT FLYER AND SAYING OUT AND MAKING SURE THAT THE FESTIVAL WAS INDICATIVE OF HOW IT SHOULD BE. SO I CREATED MY OWN FLYER AND IT WAS WELL RECEIVED NOT ONLY BY STAFF BUT THE COMMUNITY. SO JUST TO BURY THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IF IF THERE IS A SPECIAL DAY OR SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING MARTIN LUTHER KING BLACK HISTORY MONTH CARIBBEAN

[03:30:02]

YEAH. YOU IF IF I'M IF I'M GOING TO POST SOMETHING IS EITHER GRAPHICS OR WORDS RIGHT I'M NOT GONNA POST THIS CITY LOGO IN WORDS. THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT A CONDITION UPON WHICH YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND SOCIAL MEDIA AND OR I DO. BECAUSE ACTUALLY THE LIMITED AMOUNT THAT I KNOW HOW TO USE I KNOW I CAN ACTUALLY PUT UP AN IMAGE AND JUST POST A LOGO. THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT YOUR REQUEST STARTED OUT AS A FLYER AND USE OF THIS CITY'S LOGO FOR THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO DO AND YOU WANT US TO HAVE A CONSENSUS ON IT. SO I'M JUST TRYING TO STAY WITH ME ON THE FLY APART THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FIRST. RIGHT. SO WHAT I MENTIONED BEFORE IS MY DEFINITION OF HOSTING THOSE FLY. THANK YOU. AND HOSTING THOSE THOSE WHOSE IMAGES THE FLYERS BLUE AND THE SMALL BUSINESS WEEK COMMISSIONER MARLIN BOLTON AND THE LOCAL JUST BELIEVE IT OR NOT MARLON. THERE ARE TIMES I ASK YOU QUESTIONS TO TRY TO PROTECT YOU NOT CHINA WHILE YOU UP. I KNOW IT'S HARD FOR YOU TO DO THAT BUT ANYWAY SO BASICALLY LEE REMEMBERS. WELL THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM I CAN'T HELP WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE OR NOT THE VICE MAYOR. YOU'VE HEARD THE REQUESTS OF WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF PLAN IN PLACE OR THE USE OF OUR LOGO INDIVIDUALIZE HER DISTRICT OR CITY OR FOR THE COMMISSION IN GENERAL ARE YOU INTERESTED IN ASKING OUR CITY ATTORNEY THE ATTORNEY TO COME UP WITH A ALSO. MEASURE EFFICIENT AND I HAVE TO SAY THE LANGUAGE I'D BE INTERESTED TO SEE THE LA MICHIGAN. CITY ATTORNEY IF YOU WOULD. THERE IS AN INTEREST OF SEEING THE LANGUAGE NOT NECESSARILY DO. IS THERE AN AGREEMENT THAT WE WANT THIS. BUT IF YOU WOULD COME UP WITH A POLICY FOR US TO LOOK AT AND REVIEW ON WHAT WOULD BE A SAFE USE IF WE WERE TO DO IT FOR INDIVIDUAL COMMISSION USE OF THE CITY LEVEL. THANK YOU. MUCH ON THE QUESTION ON SOCIAL MEDIA. CAN I FINISH. COMMISSIONER BOB MOULTON DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YES.

OK. SO ON SOCIAL MEDIA OF LONG ON MY PAGE A DISCLAIMER THAT SAYS PAGE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR TAMARACK DIRECT INQUIRIES. MARLIN ALTON AT TAMARA WARD THAT IS ON THE THING AND THAT IS SHARING BEST PRACTICES BECAUSE OF THE TRAININGS THAT I'VE GOTTEN THROUGH MY TRAVELS THROUGH THE LEAGUE AND MEETING OTHER COMMISSIONERS THAT DO THE SAME WITH THESE VERY. DO YOU THINK THAT IS ENOUGH. I DON'T. HOST CITY WEBSITE. NO NOTHING LIKE THAT. MY PAGE IS A COMBINATION OF CHURCH FAMILIES OF MY CHILD HOLDING A PLANE ME STANDING IN A KITCHEN SAYING NOW TO IS COOKING. DIFFERENT THING. IT'S A COMBINATION OF DIFFERENT THINGS. PJ DO SAY HE'S NOT ASSOCIATED THIS TIME RIGHT. DIRECT ALL INQUIRIES TOMORROWLAND DOUBLES. SO THAT THE PUBLIC DOES NOT THINK IT'S EASY. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE ASKING ME IF IF GIVEN THOSE

[03:35:07]

LET'S BE BACK HERE AT TWO FORTY PLEASE. ALL RIGHT. IT IS TWO FORTY TWO. WE ARE NOW

[6. Boards and Committees Discussion]

[03:40:06]

THE RE RECONFIGURATION OF THE PARKING LOTS. THAT THAT RECOMMENDATION INITIATED OUT OF THE PARKS AND REC ADVISORY BOARD AND IN LOOKING AT STAFF LOOKING AT IT IT SAW IT AS A DEFINITE NEED AND WE FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH THAT AND OTHER ON IT AND A PROGRAMMING SENSE DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A BIG DEAL BUT IT IT HELPS HELPS US WITH ATTRACTION FOR OUR COMMUNITY GARAGE SALE AND THAT IS THE WE HOLD THEM THREE TIMES A YEAR. THE ONE WAS BEING HELD IN AUGUST AND WHEN IT'S STEAMING HOT OUT. SO RECOMMENDATION WAS TO BE TO PUSH THAT INTO THE FALL FURTHER. SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT COOLER. AND THAT THAT HAS BEEN RECEIVED WELL BY THE PARTICIPANTS IN THAT THAT

[03:45:03]

THEY PARTICIPATE IN BOTH MEMORIAL DAY AND VETERANS DAY CEREMONIES. THEY HAVE THEY ALSO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLANNING OF THOSE THOSE EVENTS. THEY PROVIDE INPUT ON ANY IMPROVEMENTS WE CAN MAKE ANY CHANGES WE CAN MAKE. AND THEY ALSO PLAYED A KEY ROLE WITH THE VETERANS ON OUR WALL AS FAR AS PROVIDING PROVIDING INPUT AND SUPPORT FOR THAT SO THOSE ARE THE CITIES EXISTING COMMITTEES THAT MAXINE AND I JUST JUST WENT OVER THE OTHER OTHER COMPONENT DURING STRATEGIC PLANNING THAT WAS WAS SPOKEN ABOUT WHERE THERE WERE SOME SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE FROM THE COMMISSION AS TO SOME ADVISORY BOARDS THAT YOU ALL FELT WERE IMPORTANT. I LISTED THESE THREE OUT JUST FOUR FOR DISCUSSION A YOUTH COUNCIL MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR DAY COMMITTEE PLANNING COMMITTEE AND THEN A MULTICULTURAL DIVERSITY COMMITTEE WHICH WHICH CAN BE TERMED A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT THE PURPOSE IS IS THE SAME.

AND IN MANY OF THE CITIES AND JUST SOME SOME BRIEF INFORMATION ON THE YOUTH COUNCIL STAFF HAS CONDUCTED SOME RESEARCH AND LOOKED AT SOME OTHER PROGRAMS WITHIN SOME OTHER CITIES. AND I WANTED TO KNOW FOR YOU WHAT WHAT THE CITY ALREADY DOES WITH WITH THIS AGE GROUP. WE DO CURRENTLY HAVE A TEEN CLUB AND THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 25 MEMBERS OF THAT TEEN CLUB AND THEY HAVE OPERATED IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT LOT OF DIFFERENT CAPACITIES BASED ON WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE. BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST YOU'LL SEE THEM OUT VOLUNTEERING AT ALL OF OUR EVENTS. THEY DO A LOT OF COMMUNITY SERVICE. THEY GATHER AND TALK ABOUT TEEN ISSUES THOSE TYPES OF THINGS WITH STAFF AND THEN THEY THEY ALSO ON SITE AS I SAID BASED ON NEED. WHEN WE WE'VE USED THEM IN PLANNING PLAYGROUNDS AND IN PLANNING PARKS THOSE TYPES OF THINGS WE'LL SIT DOWN WITH THAT GROUP AND USE THEM AS A AS A YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD IN THAT IN THAT CAPACITY LEADERSHIP CAMERA ACT THAT THAT HAS BECOME AN ANNUAL THING IN THE CITY. AS YOU KNOW ENGAGES THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT GOVERNMENT ABOUT MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT. THEY PROTECT HER TAKE AND I BELIEVE A SIX WEEK PROGRAM CAN DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS GET A LOT OF DIFFERENT FORMATION AND THEY FINISH THAT UP WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF DEVELOPING THEIR OWN PARK. THEY'RE GIVEN A BUDGET. THEY GO THROUGH THAT PROJECT. SO THEY REALLY LEARN A LOT ABOUT A LOT ABOUT HOW GOVERNMENT OPERATES AND THEN TEEN PARTICIPATION IN THE PARKS AND REC ADVISORY BOARD. WE HAD ACTUALLY PRIOR TO THE COMMISSION BRINGING THIS UP WE HAD SPOKEN ABOUT THIS ACTUALLY THROUGH CAME UP THROUGH THE EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE WITHIN THE CITY. SO I STARTED PURSUING THIS AND SPOKE TO BOTH THE PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AND THE PARKS AND RECREATION FOUNDATION ABOUT BRINGING SOME TEENS ONTO THOSE THOSE TWO BOARDS. AND IN THE MEANTIME CAME UP THAT THE COMMISSION WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE YOUTH COUNCIL. SO WE WE HAVE NOT PURSUED THAT ANY FURTHER BUT WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH

[03:50:03]

MR. FISHMAN THANK YOU DURING STRATEGIC PLANNING. I BROUGHT THIS UP BECAUSE I AS.

PRIOR TO BECOMING A COMMISSIONER I SERVED ON A COUPLE OF THE BOARDS AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN OUR RESIDENTS VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME THAT THEY COULD BE SPENDING WITH FAMILY OR FRIENDS THAT THEY FEEL THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF IT AND DOING SOMETHING FOR THE GOOD OF THE CITY. THE NOT NECESSARILY THAT THE COMMITTEES THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY DON'T DO THAT BUT I THINK WE ALSO NEED TO LOOK AT THE FUTURE AND THE YOUTH COUNCIL WAS ONE OF MY SUGGESTIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE A LARGE POPULATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR CITY AND I DON'T THINK THAT THEY FEEL THAT THEY'RE BEING ASKED TO HELP OR THAT THEY'RE BEING ASKED WHAT THEIR OPINION IS. I THINK THAT IF WE ASK THEM TO PARTICIPATE ESPECIALLY IF THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH LEADERSHIP TAMARACK AND HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW OUR GOVERNMENT WORKS THEY'RE GOING TO COME UP WITH SOME FANTASTIC IDEAS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT ACTIVITY HAPPEN AND I ALSO THINK WE NEED TO FORMALIZE OUR EDUCATION STAKEHOLDER GROUP. THEY'VE BEEN COMING UP WITH SOME REALLY GREAT IDEAS AS WELL ON HOW TO IMPROVE THE EDUCATION OF ARTS OF OUR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT OUR CITY. AND THOSE ARE TWO THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE. AND AS FAR AS A MULTICULTURAL I AGREE THAT ONE COMMITTEE COULD DO THE PLANNING OF NUMEROUS EVENTS BUT WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL THE DIVERSITY WHEN WE GO INTO THAT COMMITTEE.

IT'S NOT ONLY CULTURAL DIVERSITY A IT'S SEXUAL DIVERSITY ADDS IT'S ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF DIVERSITY. SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER FOR DIVERSITY WE LOOKING AT ALL. I MEAN JUST TO ADDRESS THAT COMMISSIONER THE ONE THING AND I STOLE THIS FROM CORAL SPRINGS AND THEY HAVE A MULTICULTURAL ADVISORY ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND ONE OF THE. IN THEIR MISSION STATEMENT ONE OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES TO PROMOTE APPRECIATION ACCEPTANCE AND RESPECT FOR ALL THE CULTURAL DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES IN THE COMMUNITY. SO I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH YOU THERE. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER BOLTON. IF YOU'RE NOT I'M JUST FLIP IT OVER.

[03:55:07]

AND THAT LAST PLANNING BOARD MEETING. WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF FORMALLY DOING THAT HE DOES LIVE IN THE CITY OF TAMARACK AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT HE HAS STATED. BUT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING HIM FURNISH INFORMATION. HE HASN'T PROVIDED ANYTHING YET. NOT YET. FOR PATERSON BUT FOR THE ADDITIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEES DISCUSSED AS STRATEGIC PLANNING. CAN WE ADD AN EDUCATION COMMITTEE TO THIS LIST AND CITIZENS POLICE REVIEW BOARD COMMITTEE IS UP FOR DISCUSSION AMONGST US FIRST. MM HMM. OR PROCESSES YOU REPEAT THEM. OH. EDUCATION COMMITTEE AND CITIZENS POLICE REVIEW BOARD. AND THEN ALSO THERE'S SEVERAL WAS AT LEAST THREE MEMBERS OF THE FOR MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING BOARD WHOSE TERM OF EXPIRED THEY SERVE UNTIL AN APPOINTMENT IS MADE. AND THAT'S A DISCUSSION YOU HAD BEFORE SO WE'RE JUST WAITING ON MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION TO SUBMIT YOUR NEEDS FOR THOSE APPOINTMENTS SO THEY CONTINUE TO SERVE UNTIL A REAPPOINTMENT IS MADE TO THE SCIENCES. YES YOU HAVE TO BE A RESIDENT TAMARACK TO BE IN THE PARK SOMEWHERE CORRECT. WELL THE ONLY BOARD WHERE YOU GOING TO BE A RESIDENT IS THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE. THE PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE YOU CAN HAVE A PUBLIC ART BUSINESS SOME TYPE OF BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF TAMARACK. YOU DON'T HAVE TO NECESSARILY RESIDE HERE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO LIVE IN THE CITY. YOU JUST MUST POSSESS SOME INVOLVEMENT WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SO HAVE VICE MAYOR THANK YOU. I HAVE NOT MADE ANY NEW APPOINTMENTS BECAUSE I WAS WAITING TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION TO SEE WHERE IT WENT AND IF WE CHANGED ANYTHING ON COMMITTEES OR ADDED COMMITTEES OR REDUCED COMMITTEE. SO FIRST OF ALL THE MULTICULTURAL COMMITTEE YOU KNOW I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S THE FINAL NAME OR WHAT IT WORKS BUT I DEFINITELY THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA AND I THINK INITIALLY WHEN IT STARTED IT WAS KIND OF A ONE TIME THING WE WEREN'T SURE WHERE IT'S GOING. BUT I THINK NOW THAT WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO EXPAND ON THAT. I THINK IF WE REACH OUT IN A WAY TO RESIDENTS I THINK WE WILL HAVE A BROADER GROUP AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE YOU HAD ON THERE WERE REALLY EXCELLENT ABOUT GOING OUT AND AND GETTING DOLLARS. YES THE ONE NAME I DID WE HAVE AUTHOR JUDITH CROCKER WHO WAS ABSENT OR WRITE US. SO YOU HAVE SOME REALLY DEDICATED PEOPLE TO THAT. SO I HOPE WE CAN REACH OUT TO THEM AND AND MAYBE LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS WILL BE A PERMANENT COMMITTEE AT LEAST IN MY MIND.

THAT'S MY OPINION. IF WE GO BACK AS I SAY I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING YET WITH MY COMMITTEES BECAUSE. THE PLANNING BOARD WE HAVE TWO ISSUES HERE THAT WE NEED TO CALL THEM BACK I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS CHANGING THAT DECISION AND SEE HOW MY COLLEAGUES FEEL ABOUT THAT. SO THAT'S THAT. AFFORDABLE HOUSING. ALL OF THESE MEMBERS

[04:00:08]

THERE'S QUESTIONS ON WHETHER OR NOT WE NEED TO REVAMP THEM WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S SOME THAT PLAY A ROLE. AND THERE WERE REQUESTS THAT STRATEGIC PLANNING ON WHETHER OR NOT WE NEEDED TO ADD OR AUGMENT. SO THAT'S WHAT THIS WHOLE THING IS ABOUT. OKAY. SO I'D LIKE TO TO GET TO THE PART WHERE WE DELETE THEM. ADD IN YOU KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT LIKE BOYS AND THEN BECAUSE THERE SOME BOYS I WANT TO GET RID OF. AND THERE ARE SOME BOARDS THAT AND PLEASE TELL US YOUR OPINIONS. SO WE'RE NOT THERE YET. SO I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS LIKE RECRUITMENT PROCESS FOR THE BOARDS AND APPOINTMENTS BECAUSE SOME OF THE BOARDS I'M HEARING ABOUT I'VE HEARD ABOUT THEM BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW WE RECRUIT. YOU KNOW LIKE THE HOUSING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD. DO I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT. DO YOU RECRUIT. YOU DO. AND THE RESOLUTION THAT WAS PASSED GIVE STAFF THE ABILITY TO SOLICIT BECAUSE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE STATUTE AND THEY HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRY. WE BRING THOSE NAMES FORWARD AND WE'LL BE DO YOUR POINT THEM FORMALLY. RESOLUTION WHICH IS WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST IS SOMETHING LIKE BUT I WANT TO CHANGE WHAT ABOUT VETERANS COMING INTO THE VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE WE WOULD PUBLICIZE IT. IT'S PUBLICIZED DURING THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS WHEN THAT THOSE VACANCIES ARE OPEN OR WHEN APPOINTMENTS ARE COMING UP THEY'RE PROMOTED WITH THE WITH THE OTHER ADVISORY BOARD OPENINGS. WE ALSO AS A AS A COMMITTEE WE WE SEND IT OUT TO THE EXISTING BOARD MEMBERS TO LET ANYBODY THAT THEY KNOW THEY'RE TIED WITH IT THAT THEY CAN GET THE WORD OUT TO AS WELL. RIGHT.

AND SO HOW DO I MAKE APPOINTMENTS UPWARD. I CAN SAY WITH THE VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE THOSE APPOINTMENTS ARE DONE BY THE ENTIRE COMMISSION NOT NECESSARILY BY

[04:05:03]

THEY MAY BE CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS BUT THEY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN FORMALLY. THEY NEED TO BE FORMALLY APPOINTED BY THE CITY COMMISSION AND WE HAD AND HONESTLY WE HAVE NOT DONE APPOINTMENTS TO THE VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE FOR A LONG TIME. PAT AND I HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING. WE WERE WAITING ON DOING A CHANGE IN THE CODE THE CURRENT CODE STATES FOR MEMBERSHIP THAT THERE WERE CERTAIN VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS THAT THEY MUST HAVE BELONGED TO. THOSE ORGANIZATIONS ARE SLOWLY BECOMING DEFUNCT. I DIDN'T MEAN THE AMERICAN LEGION IS STILL AROUND BUT THE VETERANS REFORM OF FOREIGN WAR THOSE TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS ARE NOT AS PROMINENT ANYMORE. SO THE ORIGINAL THE CODE THE WAY THAT IT DESCRIBED IT DESCRIBES IT RIGHT NOW IS NOT REALLY APPLICABLE ANYMORE. SO THE CODE CHANGE WHICH WOULD BE A SIMPLE SIMPLE CODE CHANGE WOULD BE JUST HONORABLY DISCHARGED VETERANS RESIDING IN THE CITY OF TAMARACK BUT BUT AGAIN THAT THOSE APPOINTMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE FOR I AM NEITHER UNSURE OF THE LAST TIME IT HAS TO BE A GOOD SIX OR SEVEN YEARS AGO EVEN FOR I YEAH WE WERE ALSO TALKING ABOUT MAKING THE APPOINTMENTS TO THE BOARD INSTEAD OF ON A YEARLY BASIS MAKING IT ON A PERMANENT BASIS FOR THE VETERANS AFFAIRS FOR THE VETERANS JUST FOR THE VETERANS AFFAIRS. SO BASICALLY ON THIS ONE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IF WE CAN AT LEAST GET ONE OF THESE ITEMS OFF THE TABLE WILL MOVE THROUGH OUR CITY ATTORNEY WILL YOU REWRITE WHATEVER ORDINANCE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE SO WE CAN GET OUR VETERANS AFFAIRS WARD UP AND RUNNING WITH MORE PEOPLE ON IT THAT'S A GOOD SENSE THE COMMISSION WE'RE HAPPY WORK WITH THAT PARADOX HOW MANY ON THE BOARD DOWN THERE WHERE THERE'S CURRENTLY EIGHT APPOINTED MEMBERS AND THEN THERE'S THREE OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT COME ON A CONSISTENT BASIS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE DISCUSSION IN THERE FOR MORE THAN SIX YEARS AND NOBODY ON THIS BOARD VOTING FOR THEM OR PROVEN CORRECT AGAIN. MAXINE IT SAID SINCE SINCE APPOINTMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE IN THEIR TERMS THEY GO UNTIL APPOINTMENTS REPLACEMENTS OR OTHER APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE. SO THERE'S NO TERM LIMITS ON. WELL THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO OFFICIALLY MAKE CHANGE IN THE ORDINANCE TO MAKE THE PROCESS EASIER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO APPOINT PEOPLE TO THE COMMITTEE AND THEN HAVE THEIR TERMS YEAH. MAYOR I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FURTHER WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO SEE IF WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH APPOINTMENTS RIGHT NOW IN CONJUNCTION WITH MAKING A CODE CHANGE JUST VERY BRIEFLY IF I MAY A COUPLE OBSERVATIONS HAVING LOOKED AT THE CODE WHICH I'M IN THE PROCESS OF REVIEWING AS WE SPEAK SEVERAL STEP PROCESS OUR CODE CURRENTLY PROVIDES FOR A COMPOSITION. AND AS GREG INDICATED A NUMBER OF ORGANIZATIONS IDENTIFIED IN THE CODE AS TO HAVE REPRESENTED OUR REPRESENTATIVES ON THAT BOARD MEMBERSHIP THE VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE SHALL CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE MEMBER FROM EACH OF THE FOLLOWING SEVERAL AMERICAN VETERANS THE AMERICAN LEGION JEWISH WAR VETERANS USA AND VETS. MILITARY ORDER OF THE PURPLE HEART AMERICAN EX PRISONERS OF WAR AND THE MARINE CORPS LEAGUE ALL MEMBERS WHO'VE SERVED IN THE U.S. ARMED FORCES MUST HAVE RECEIVED AN HONORABLE DISCHARGE. THOSE ARE THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF COMPOSITION. IF THE BOARD WANTED TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS CURRENTLY WE'D BE CONFINED WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF WHAT THE CODE

[04:10:02]

OK. SO AS LONG AS ONE PERSON IS A MEMBER OF ONE OF THOSE RIGHT THERE'S NOT A LIST.

OK. SO NOT NECESSARILY IN FAVOR OF AN UNLIMITED TERM BUT I'M ALSO NOT IN FAVOR OF APPOINTING EVERY YEAR. SO MAYBE THEY SHOULD SERVE SERVE EVERY FOUR YEARS OR EVERY TIME A NEW COMMISSIONER IS ELECTED THEY MAKE THEIR APPOINTMENT AND THEN THAT COMMISSIONER CAN ALSO ALLOW THEM TO STAY ON THE BOARD BUT I'M SURE I THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE AN UNLIMITED BOARD EITHER LIKE WE WANT TO HAVE 50 PEOPLE WALK AT 50 NOT TO BRING BACK AN ISSUE WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER I'D START OFF WITH THE COUNTY NOT MEMBERS OF THESE BOARDS ARE ALSO SOMETIMES IT'S THE SAME RULES AND RESTRICTIONS THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT IN THE CONTEXT SOCIAL MEDIA ALSO BY A NUMBER OF THE ABOUT IS THERE A REASON WHY WE HAVEN'T HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS IF IT SAYS IN THERE WE SHOULD BE APPOINTING SOMEONE EVERY YEAR I THINK AT THIS POINT IN TIME WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD WE DO. BUT I THINK THAT'S A LEGITIMATE QUESTION IS IT NOT. I THINK THEY'VE ALREADY TRIED ANSWERING THAT QUESTION AND IT'S ONE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN ANSWER. SO LET'S JUST MOVE ON BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO FIX BY SUMMER. ARE YOU FOR CHANGING THE VETERANS AFFAIRS.

YES. MR. BOLTON CHANGING HOW TAKING UP THE ORGANIZATION'S CHANGING TERM LIMITS ABILITY FOR COMMISSION MEMBERS TO APPOINT ABOUT WHICH AS DISCUSSED AS A CONCURRENT WITH A COMMISSION TERM IS IT ONE YEAR LIKE THAT. THE DISCUSSION HAS BEEN TO GET RID OF THE INDIVIDUAL BOARDS OR AID ORGANIZATIONS AND SERVICES TO REMOVE THAT HAVE THEM BE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF TAMARACK HONORABLY DISCHARGED. AND IT WAS ORIGINALLY DISCUSSED FOR A PERMANENT POSITION ON THE BOARD UNTIL THAT TIME THEY'RE ARE NO LONGER LIVING IN TAMARA AND I'M OK I'M UP FOR THE PERMANENT PART I'M

[04:15:05]

BASICALLY I WAS FINE WITH THE PERMANENCY BUT IF IT'LL BE SATISFACTORY TO BE CONCURRENT WITH EACH COMMISSIONER IN THE MAYOR'S TERMS AND THAT IS FINE. AND IF IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A MINIMUM OF EIGHT AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE EACH OF US TO GET TO A POINT TO NOW MY QUESTION BECOMES THEN IF WE DO IT THAT WAY. WHAT HAPPENS IF IN A PARTICULAR DISTRICT YOU DO NOT HAVE TWO MEMBERS WITHIN THEIR DISTRICT WHO ARE HONORABLY DISCHARGED WHO WANT TO SERVE. I MEAN THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING ON THIS ESPECIALLY THE VETERANS COMMITTEE WHO WANT TO SERVE ON THE BOARD. SO WOULD IT BE A FIRST RUN FOR TRYING TO GET TO 2 2 AND DO SO TO SPEAK. THAT'S 10. I DID MY MATH ON THEN I DID YES. SURE. ALSO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO KIND OF WRAP IT INTO WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE THEN. WHEN YOU YOUR YOUR LITTLE LIAISON YOU'RE THE STAFF LIAISON PERSON FOR THE VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE. YES. WHAT DO YOU SEE IS THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS AN EFFECTIVE. MANY I THINK BASED ON BASED ON HISTORY AND IN WANTING THE MOST PARTICIPATION THAT WE CAN GET WITH THOSE COMMITTEES AND HISTORICALLY THAT'S I THINK THAT'S WHY NO MAXIMUM NUMBER WAS SET. WE WANTED AS MUCH INVOLVEMENT FROM THE VETERANS AS POSSIBLE. I. IT IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT THAT WAY TO RUN WITH COMMISSION CONCURRENT WITH COMMISSION TERMS BECAUSE IF SO SAY IF WE DO GET 15 APPLICANTS AND EIGHT OF THOSE AFRICANS ARE FROM DISTRICT 1 AND 2 OR FROM DISTRICT 2 THERE'S NO NONE FROM DISTRICT 3 AND SO ON. HOW HOW DOES THAT WORK. I. MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THAT YOU DO A YOU DO A SET TERM WHETHER IT BE FOR FOUR YEARS FIVE YEARS SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT PERMANENT BUT IT DOES GIVE A GOOD REPRESENTATION. AND YOU DO GET TO MAKE THOSE APPOINTMENTS AS AS A AS A BOARD. OK. SO AS WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE COMMISSION THAT WE DO WANT SOME CHANGES WE DO WANT THERE TO BE SOME CONCURRENCY AND NOT A PERMANENT STRUCTURE AT THIS POINT IN TIME TO MOVE THIS CONVERSATION ALONG SINCE UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS SO PRESSING SO DIFFERENT. THIS PARTICULAR ITEM I. GO AHEAD. SO AS I STATED EARLIER WE DON'T JUST SERVE OUR DISTRICT WE SERVE THE ENTIRE CITY. SO IF WE DON'T FIND SOMEONE WITHIN OUR DISTRICT THEN WE SHOULD JUST HAVE THE ABILITY TO SELECT SOMEONE THAT JUST LIVES IN THE CITY TOMORROW.

YES. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. SO BASICALLY PLEASE PUT FORTH THE BEST PLAN THAT YOU NEED FOR US TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW AND COME BACK THAT SERVES THE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE OBVIOUSLY ACROSS THE BOARD BECAUSE WE PROBABLY WILL NOT HAVE TO TWO TWO AND TWO AND THEN ADD ANOTHER TWO. RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER BOLTON YOU ARE ON THE TABLE WITH YOU STARTED WITH VETERANS. WE START WE WANT TO GET OFF WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE FOR JUST. WELL YOU HAD TO MAKE SURE YOU HAD THE FLOOR SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO BRING FORWARD IF NOT THERE'S MORE CONVERSATION SYLVIA. SO OK SO WE'RE FINISHED. WE WERE ABLE TO GET RID OF ONE FOR NOW. YOU WANT ME TO START ON THE OTHER ONE IF THERE'S STILL SOME COMMENTS THAT NEED TO BE FED. SO IF YOU HAVE COMMENTS YOU WISH TO MAKE THEM PLEASE MAKE THEM NO GO WHATEVER COMMENTS YOU WISH TO BE MAKING YOU WANT. YOU HAD THE FLOOR TO MAKE COMMENTS IF YOU WANT TO WAIT FOR OTHER COMMENTS ARE SAID AND WE START PICKING THEM APART THAT'S FINE. JUST TRYING TO MOVE THIS CONVERSATION. I'M TRYING NOT TO BE COMBATIVE FROM HAVING A MONTH OF FASTING. I HAVE TO BE HOLY. SO LET'S JUST SAY I'M MUCH I'M JUST TRYING TO. SO THEN IF YOU SO THEN WHICH ONE DO WE WANT TO MOVE. I'D LIKE TO MAKE MY COMMENTS INSTEAD OF START PICKING APART THEM FOR RIGHT NOW IF YOU DON'T MIND THEN IF YOU HAVE NOTHING SPECIFIC THAT YOU WANT TO EXPRESS ABOUT EACH OF THE COMMITTEES THEN I'LL MAKE MY COMMENTS AND THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD TO START PULLING IT APART. ALL RIGHT. AS YOU KNOW WE'VE BEEN ASKING TO HAVE THIS REVIEW FOR

[04:20:02]

SO ON THAT WHEN THE RULES AND REGULATIONS I DO THINK THE REMOVAL OF THE NATURE WAY BEING INVOLVED A NATURE WAY OR CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION OR HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION IS NOT A VIABLE REQUIREMENT PREREQUISITE. I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS MORE STRINGENT TO HAVING LAND USE IF YOU SERVED ON THE PARK ON THE PLANNING AND ZONING IN THIS CITY OR ANOTHER CITY WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE LAND USE EXPERIENCE THAT'S FINE.

THESE HAVE AND YOU DON'T HAVE LAND USE EXPERIENCE AND YOU'RE NOT A LAND USE ATTORNEY YOU'RE NOT AN ENGINEER NOT AN ARCHITECT BUT YOU'VE BEEN ON ONE OF THESE BOARDS YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE FAMILIARITY WITH OUR TERMINOLOGIES. I THINK THAT SHOULD BE ADDED AS A REQUIREMENT. LEAVE IT OPEN TO THE FLOOR FOR OTHER COMMENTS ON THAT.

ACTUALLY YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT MAXINE SINCE YOU ARE THE STUFF WE ASSUME FOR THAT. YEAH JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. SO THE WAY THE ORDINANCE CURRENTLY READS IT'S ANY INTERESTED CITIZEN MAY BE APPOINTED. HOWEVER THERE IS SPECIAL CONSIDERATION FOR THE FOLLOWING ARCHITECTURE LAW LAND DEVELOPMENT REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT OR SALES ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE URBAN PLANNING ENGINEERING OR ACTIVISM IN A NEIGHBORHOOD CONDOMINIUM OR HLA ASSOCIATION. SO ESSENTIALLY IF THOSE SPECIALTIES ARE NOT MET THEN IT'S ANY INTERESTED CITIZEN MY OPINION IS WE NEED TO REMOVE THE WORD MAY AND WE WOULD NEED TO REMOVE THE HLA. BUT ADD IF YOU'VE HAD EXPERIENCE FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING IN ANY COMMUNITY IN WHICH YOU LIVE. PROVEN OF COURSE AND UNDERSTANDING THAT WE'VE ALREADY HAD APPOINTMENTS. THIS IS NOT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THOSE APPOINTMENTS WHO HAVE CURRENTLY BEEN APPOINTED. THIS IS FOR FUTURE APPOINTMENTS. IN MY OPINION FOR WHAT NEEDS TO GO FORWARD AS FAR AS OUR PARKS AND REC IF YOU WILL GREG YOU ARE OUR LIAISON FOR THAT I HAPPEN TO BE THE CITY LIAISON WHO GOES TO THE MEETINGS AND UNDERSTANDS WHAT'S GOING ON. THERE WAS DISCUSSION WHETHER OR NOT WE FEEL IT'S A VIABLE BOARD. YOU'VE EXPRESSED THAT YOU FEEL IT IS. WHICH IS GREAT BUT IS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE US CONSIDERED THAT WOULD MAKE IT A STRONGER BOARD. SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED DIRECTION FROM US TO DO OR SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO INCORPORATE TO MAKE THAT BOARD MORE EFFECTIVE. I THINK THE ONE THING AND IT'S BEEN PROBABLY OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO AND AS I SAID IT'S A FIVE MEMBER BOARD AND I THINK THERE HAS BEEN SOME SOMEWHAT ABSENT THAT WE'VE PROBABLY OVER THAT DONE OVER THE PAST YEAR WE'VE HAD WE HAVE HAD HAD THE VACANCY WHICH IS TAKING US DOWN TO FOUR AND THEN SINCE OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS WE'VE HAD ANOTHER MEMBER THAT THAT DOESN'T SHOW UP FOR THE MEETINGS. SO GETTING DOWN TO THREE PEOPLE I THINK THAT THAT DEFINITELY HAS HAD A HINDERANCE ON ANY EFFECTIVENESS AND THE IN THE DISCUSSIONS AT THE AT THE ADVISORY BOARD MEETINGS. BUT I THINK THE ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS THE APPOINTMENTS COMING UP. IF WE GET THE COMMISSIONER APPOINTMENTS AND THEN THE COMMISSIONERS THE I THINK THE POINT OF THE BOARD THEIR ADVISORY BUT THEIR ADVISORY NOT ONLY TO ME THEIR ADVISORY TO TO ALL OF YOU. AND I THINK THAT CONNECTION BETWEEN BETWEEN THE COMMISSION AND THE BOARD MAKES MAKES A HECK OF A LOT OF DIFFERENCE IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BOARD. SO IF MAYOR OR COMMISSIONER GO ON YOUR APPOINTMENT IS

[04:25:02]

BUT I THINK IN SOME INSTANCES WE HAVE LOST THAT THAT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE COMMISSION MAKING THAT APPOINT COMMISSIONER MAKING THAT APPOINTMENT AND THE AND THE ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS. SO I THINK THAT MORE OF A TIGHTER CONNECTION BETWEEN THOSE APPOINTMENTS AND AND REALIZING THAT THEY ARE APPOINTED BY COMMISSIONER BOLTON OR THE VICE MAYOR AND THEN COMMUNICATING THOUGHTS WITH WITH THEM. I THINK IN ONE INSTANCE I THINK THAT WOULD WOULD MAKE THINGS MORE EFFECTIVE.

AND I THINK THE AGAIN THE MAKEUP OF THE BOARD IS IS IMPORTANT. WE TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ALL THE TIME AND I THINK THIS IS ONE BOARD THAT WE DEFINITELY CAN GET COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IF WE HAVE THE THE BOARD WORKING TOGETHER. THE FIVE MEMBERS AND NOT ONLY AN ADVISORY ROLE BUT AN ADVOCACY ROLE. AND I THINK THAT'S A LOT OF THIS FALLS BACK ON ME AS TO GIVING THEM DIRECTION AS WELL AS TO GETTING THEM OUT AND BEING POSSIBLY A SECRET SHOPPER. I KNOW BROWARD COUNTY DOES THAT WITH THEIR ADVISORY BOARD JUST SETTING UP CERTAIN SOME DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT THAT THE ADVICE COMING BACK OR THE THINGS COMING BACK TO TO US FOR FOR ACTION ARE ARE DEFINITELY MEANINGFUL AND WE'RE GETTING TRUE TRUE INFORMATION AND AS WELL. AND THEY'VE DONE THIS OVER THE YEARS COMING OUT TO OUR EVENTS AND THE ADVISORY BOARD SHIRTS HANDING OUT INFORMATION TALKING TO RESIDENTS THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. SO I THINK THE ADVOCACY IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE ADVISORY PORTION OF THAT BOARD. THANK YOU. WELL THE ART COMMITTEE SAME QUESTION TO YOU OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COMMITTEE AND HOW YOU SEE THE CURRENT STRUCTURE AND ARE THERE ANY CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE DONE TO HELP YOU WITH THE ART COMMITTEE. WELL THE CURRENT STRUCTURE IS CONSISTENT WITH MOST PUBLIC ART I GUESS COMMUNITIES OR COMMITTEES IN BROWARD COUNTY. SO OUR MODEL IS CONSISTENT WITH CORAL SPRINGS IS CONSISTENT WITH POMPANO BEACH WHICH ARE SOME OF THE CITIES THAT JUMP OUT RIGHT AWAY. HAVING A PUBLIC ART FUND AND THERE'S A COMMITTEE IN PLACE THAT BRINGS THAT TRANSPARENCY I THINK FOR THE MOST PART THE STRUCTURE IS OK. MAYBE A REFRESHER. THE BOARD MEMBERS WOULD BE IDEAL AT THIS TIME BUT I THINK THE STRUCTURE IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE SEE WITH MOST PUBLIC ART COMMITTEES AND HOW THEY FUNCTION. WE HAVE CURRENTLY A WE HAVE CONSULTANTS WHO ARE THOSE ARE CONSULTANTS USED IN OTHER CITIES AS WELL. THEY SERVE THE CITY OF LAUDERDALE LAKES AS WELL. YES. MEANING NOT NECESSARILY THAT PARTICULAR CONSULTING GROUP THAT WE HAVE. DO OTHER CITIES USE CONSULTANTS. THEY DO.

THEY ALL DO. SPRING NOT ANY LAKES AND YES THE CITY. I'M SORRY YOU WERE SAYING THEY ALL DO CORAL SPRINGS POMPANO BEACH LAUDERDALE LAKES AND THE CITY OF TAMARACK YES THEY ALL HAVE CONSULTANTS. DO YOU FIND BECAUSE I REMEMBER BEING ON THE COMMIT MISSION AT TIME WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE THEM AND WE HAD A DIFFERENT CONSULTANT AND WE HAVE A CURRENT SET OF CONSULTANTS. DO YOU FIND THIS PROCEDURE BENEFICIAL. CONSULTANT YEAH. AND SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE I THINK WE'VE HAD GLEN WELDON I THINK IT WAS HIS NAME WAS OUR FIRST CONSULTANT THAT SERVED FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND THEN HE WAS REPLACED OF COURSE WITH CATS AND RABBITS. SO FOR THE MOST PART GIVEN THE MAINTENANCE OF THE THE MASTER PLAN THE MAINTENANCE FOR ALL OUR PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION IN ADDITION TO THE POSTING OF THE ALTAR CALLS AND THE DRAFTING OF ALL THE CALLS IT'S ALL DONE BY THE PUBLIC ART ADMINISTRATORS THEY DO THE INITIAL JURY AND FOR ALL THE CALLS. SO IT'S VITAL TO HAVE THEM IN PLACE AS WELL AS A PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE AND THAT'S MY RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE YOUTH COUNCIL AND BASICALLY IN SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL OF THE PRINCIPALS IN OUR CITY OR THAT EDUCATE THE SCHOOLS THAT EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN. YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S A BIG PROPONENT FOR IT WE'RE BIG PROPONENTS OF IT. I THINK A GOOD WAY TO TIE IN WITH THE SCHOOLS WOULD BE BASICALLY GOING THROUGH THEIR STUDENT GOVERNMENT THEIR STUDENT UNIONS THAT THEY HAVE AND MAYBE WE MIGHT HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DESIGNATED IF WE'RE DEALING WITH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL VERSUS JUNIOR HIGH LEVEL VERSUS HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE APPROPRIATE FOR DIFFERENT LEVELS

[04:30:05]

[04:35:04]

[04:40:06]

WE WERE WAITING FOR THIS AND ACTUALLY WE DIDN'T EXPECT TO HAVE THE APPOINTMENT PROCESS STARTED UNTIL AFTER WE HAD THE CONVERSATION BUT I THOUGHT I THINK IT WAS YOUR DECISION TO RECAPITALIZE I WAS ON THE DAIS I ASKED FOR RE ADVERTISEMENT ARE YOU PLANNING BOARD. AND YOU SAID WELL I'M NOT JUST A PLANNING BOARD BUT LET'S ADVERTISE ARC'S WE HAVE NOT WE ADVERTISE THAT JUST YET BECAUSE I DON'T WANT IT DID NOT WANT IT RE ADVERTISED UNTIL AFTER WE FINISHED FIGURING OUT THE RULES OR THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE WERE ASKING FOR OR WHETHER OR NOT WE WERE MAKING A CHANGE. SO IT JUST AS A MATTER OF THIS GENTLEMEN GENTLEMAN LADIES I JUST WANT TO CLEAR UP THAT THE CITY CLERK DID INCLUDE A DATE CERTAIN WHERE WE HAD TO LET HER KNOW WHAT OUR PICKS WERE.

DATE TIME. SO I KNOW I SUBMITTED MINE IN THAT IN THAT TIMEFRAME. SO WE ALL GOT THE BOOKS. WE ALL HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE PICK BY A CERTAIN DATE. THIS IS NOT A DEBATE. THIS IS NOT AN ARGUMENT. WE KNOW THE PROCESS THAT WENT THROUGH. WE UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO AGAIN IS MOVE US FORWARD BECAUSE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A WELL THE PROCEDURE HAS NOT BEEN WORKING AS WELL AS WE'D HOPED. OK AND THERE HAS BEEN A DIFFERING OF OPINIONS ON WHEN THE PROCEDURE WAS STARTING OR NOT. SO GOING FORWARD IF WE'RE RE ADVERTISING HOPEFULLY WE WON'T BE RE ADVERTISING AGAIN. HOPEFULLY WE HAVE EVERYTHING DOWN AND WE WON'T HAVE AN ISSUE. BUT GOING FORWARD IF WE'RE RE ADVERTISING MAYBE IN THE FUTURE WE WILL BE ADVISED WHEN THERE IS ONE DISTRICT THAT NEEDS IT WE ADVERTISE AGAIN OR NOT. BUT BRINGING FORTH THAT IF WE RE ADVERTISED AFTER THIS ROUND IF WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO GO INTO THEIR SEATS WE NEED TO BE BACK TO OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WHICH HAVE HAD WE DON'T KEEP RE ADVERTISING TILL WE GET SOMEBODY WE WANT WE RE ADVERTISE. WE DON'T GET ANYBODY IN OUR DISTRICT THAT WE WANT. WE THEN GO TO ONE IN ANOTHER DISTRICT AND WE'LL BE DONE WITH IT INSTEAD OF CONTINUALLY KEEPING AN OPENING ON THESE BOARDS WHICH IS CREATING A PROBLEM ON OUR BOARDS FOR CONSISTENCY AND BEING ABLE TO DO THE BUSINESS OF THE CITY AT HAND. AND THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF WHAT OUR COMMITTEES ARE. THAT'S A OKAY JUST TO BE CERTAIN YOU WILL BE ADVERTISING IN THE PARKS BOARD BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN CITYWIDE WE'RE FINALIZING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STRUCTURE IS THE WAY WE WANT IT AT THIS POINT IN TIME. I THINK AT THIS POINT SINCE WE'VE ALREADY RE ADVERTISED ONE INTO I THINK IT WILL BE FAIR TO HAVE THREE AND FOUR WE ADVERTISE IN CASE THERE'S ANYBODY WHO MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY WHETHER IT BE FOR DISTRICT 4 OR CITYWIDE THAT THE APPLICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE SO NOBODY FEELS THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY. SO YES THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO REVERT TO ONCE THERE'S AN AD THAT'S A CITY WIDE IT

[04:45:07]

THOSE ARE THE ONLY THREE APPOINTMENTS WE HAVE MADE SO FAR. IF I MAY THROW THE CHAIR THEN ONE OF THE ISSUES IS WE KEEP ADVERTISING WITH THE SAME MEDIAN THAT DOESN'T GENERATE ANY RESULTS. SO MAYBE WE DON'T NEED TO ADVERTISE WITH THE SUNSET NUMBER WE ADVERTISE ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM WHERE YOU CAN LIMIT THE ADVERTISING INTO A SPECIFIC ZIP CODE. YOU CAN MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF USE. THE PEOPLE THAT SEE THE ADVERTISING AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY MEASURE IT AND YOU CAN TELL AT THE END OF THE CAMPAIGN HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY SAW THE AD. SO YOU KNOW WE KEEP GOING TO THE SUNSET OR WHEN NO ONE LOOKS AT THE NEWSPAPER WITH THESE THINGS.

ACTUALLY RESPECTFULLY TO THE MODERN SOCIAL GOALS THAT WE HAVE. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WE WILL NOTICE BY DEFINITION ARE STILL WITHIN THE PAPER CERTAIN SIZE AND PUBLICATION. SO IT DOESN'T SAY THAT WE CAN'T USE THE SOCIAL MEDIA ASPECTS WHICH I BELIEVE WE'VE BEEN DOING AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO BUT WE ARE STILL OBLIGATED UNDER THE LAW TO ADVERTISE. THAT'S FINE. BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO OTHER NEWSPAPERS. SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF HISPANIC NEWSPAPERS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT SOME BLACK NEWSPAPERS IN THE COMMUNITY. SO IF WE BROADEN THE SCOPE INCLUDING SOCIAL MEDIA AND OTHER DIVERSE NEWSPAPERS WE MIGHT GET A BROADER AUDIENCE. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. OK SO VICE MAYOR GUY YOU KNOW WE NEED TO KEEP IN MIND THAT OTHER THAN MAYBE DISTRICT 1 WHO HAS AN EMPTY SEAT THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE FILLED. WE'RE NOW ONLY FILLING SEATS IN 2 4 AND THE MAYOR'S JUST WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT DOING 1 THROUGH 4 RIGHT. I MEAN UNLESS THERE'S AN OPENING THAT HASN'T BEEN FILLED FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SOMETHING THERE'S NO REASON TO KEEP RE ADVERTISING FOR IT LET'S SAY FOR INSTANCE DISTRICT 3 ALL HER SEATS ARE FILLED. YES BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS A THREE PERSON THAT I WANT TO KNOW. I SEEM TO FIND REALLY GUYS THAT INCLUDES THE MAYOR AND SHE IS DISTRICT WIDE SHE IS ANYONE. SO I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SOMEBODY IN DISTRICT 3 WHO MAY WANT TO. OK. THEY DON'T HAVE. OK. AND AND I GET THAT I JUST DON'T WANT PEOPLE IN DISTRICT 3 TO SAY OR THE PERSON WHO'S SITTING IN THE SEAT IN DISTRICT 3 TO SAY OH GEE I'M BEING REPLACED AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS. SO YOU KNOW IT'S A LITTLE CONVOLUTED I GUESS BUT I GET THAT SORRY. BUT IF I MAY I THINK WHAT THE VICE MAYOR WAS SAYING IS WHEN DISTRICT 1 ADVERTISING DISTRICTS ADVERTISE THE DISTRICT 3 AND 4 WHEREVER THAT IS CITYWIDE. SO YOU ALREADY HAVE THESE WOLF PEOPLE WHO APPLIED FOR MY DISTRICT MIKE'S DISTRICT THERE WAS THIS DISTRICT THAT'S CITYWIDE. SO TO REVITALIZE IT AGAIN BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU'RE THE MAYOR WE WANTED TO ADVERTISE IT YOU KNOW IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ADVERTISED UNDER THE MAYOR. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ADVERTISED LIKE THAT. IF THE ONLY TWO DISTRICTS THAT ARE LEFT ARE FOR THREE AND FOUR THEN THEY HAVE TO BE RE ADVERTISED TO BE ABLE TO GET THE FULL CITY BUT THEY'LL BE ALREADY ADVERTISED BUT AGAIN WE ARE CHANGING SOME OF THE POSSIBLY CHANGING SOME OF THE PARAMETERS HERE AND THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS I HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RESIDENTS WHO FEEL THAT IT HAS BEEN WE ADVERTISE AND WE ADVERTISE FOR OTHER AREAS THEY MIGHT HAVE MISSED THE ABILITY TO THEY MAY HAVE MISSED IT BY A DAY THEY DIDN'T BOTHER TO PUT IT IN. SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME SINCE WE'RE RE ADVERTISING AND WE'RE TRYING TO JUST GET THIS CLEAN AND MOVE IT FORWARD THEN LET'S JUST GET IT

I TAKE THAT OFTEN WITH DOES THAT YOU KNOW YOU'RE TAKING OFF A KEY ONE OF THE KEY THINGS THAT SOMEBODY NEEDS TO HAVE BEING A REALTOR DOES NOT TEACH YOU HOW TO RUN MEETINGS. BOARD KIND OF GIVES YOU THE KNOW HOW TO RUN MEETINGS AND HOW TO COME FORWARD. YOU KNOW APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS BECAUSE ACTUALLY MY OPINION IS THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING IS NOT ON HOW TO RUN A MEETING IT'S HOW TO READ THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF OUR CITY. SO WHEN PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR VARIANCES PLAN CHANGES AND OTHER SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LANGUAGE AND THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DOING MORE THAN WORRYING ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN RUN THE MEETING.

BUT EACH WE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. YOU'RE SAYING THEY PRIMARILY IF THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE ON LAND AND ZONING THEN THAT WOULD BE UNDER THE OTHER CATEGORY OF HAVING EXPERIENCE PLANNING ZONING THERE VERSUS HLA EXPERIENCE. BY VIRTUE OF BEING ON AN EACH WAY BOARD. YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE YOU'RE OK. YOU'RE WELCOME TO YOUR OPINION COMMISSIONER WALTON IF IF I SIT ON A MAJOR WHEAT BOARD I I'M TALKING EVERYDAY ABOUT SHRUBS AND THE ENTRANCE TO MY COMMUNITY AND ALL THESE THINGS. OK. THAT'S THAT'S CRAZY A LITTLE BIT ABSURD. I MEAN I WOULDN'T EXPECT THAT THOUGH. I MEAN I HAPPEN TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THOSE BOARDS THAT ACTUALLY RISE TO A LEVEL THAT HAVE CERTAIN QUALIFICATIONS THAT ARE IMPORTANT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO ASSIST OUR CITY MOVING FORWARD AND WE DON'T HAVE TO AGREE ON THIS COMMISSIONER WALT I UNDERSTAND BUT I'M JUST YOU KNOW TAKEN ABACK THAT YOU KNOW YOU YOU CAME UP WITH THAT. I MEAN THAT MAKE AN IDEAL AND YOU WANT TO SAY SO YOU KNOW IT'S LIKE THAT IS ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WOULD KIND OF SET THEM APART TO BE A VERY GOOD MEMBER OF THE PLANNING BOARD. BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND PROCESS THEY UNDERSTAND TERMINOLOGY AND THAT'S OKAY. YOU KNOW SO I'M JUST YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT IN MEASURE WALTON. YOU'VE YOU'VE SAID YOUR PSA. THAT'S RIGHT I MEAN MY MY APPOINTMENT IS ALREADY MADE. I'M SAYING EXACTLY I KNOW THE FUTURE. YOU'RE YOU'RE TAKING AWAY LIKE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY OF THE KNOW HOW. THAT'S OKAY. ONE OF THE ONE OF THE WAYS. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER VAULT AND VICE MAYOR DID YOU WANT THIS UP AGAIN OR ARE YOU DONE. ANYTHING NEW. NOT TRYING TO DISSUADE OR CHANGE ANYBODY'S OPINION AT THIS POINT IN TIME. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE ALL HAVE OUR OPINIONS AND WE'RE GETTING ON FOUR O'CLOCK AND WE SAW SOME OTHER THINGS TO DO. SO YOU APPLY THEIR RULES TO ME. IT'S FOR ALL OF YOU FOR EVERYBODY AT THIS POINT IN TIME BECAUSE WE SEEM TO TRY TO CONVINCE EACH OTHER TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS. AND AT THIS POINT IN TIME I'M NOT HERE TO CHANGE ANYONE'S MIND. COMMISSIONER BOLTON KNOWS THESE THREE VOTES. MY. MY COMMENT IS TO OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR OR WE'RE GONNA GIVE THIS GENTLEMAN A TIME CERTAIN TO PROVIDE PROOF THAT HE'S A RESIDENT. YOU'RE ON A DIFFERENT THING. CAN I FINISH WITH THE TOPIC THAT WE WERE ON. WE'RE IN THE SAME THING I'M ON THE PLANNING BOARD. NO NO. WE'RE ON CHANGING THE RULES. LET ME FINISH WHAT I'VE GOT HERE ON THE CONSENSUS FORMULATION. GREAT. WELL JUST A SECOND.

DOES THAT MEAN. YOU'LL GO. LET ME FINISH THIS PROCESS SO CITY ATTORNEY IF YOU WOULD PLEASE REDRAFT THE ORDINANCE IN LEGISLATION TO SHOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES HAVE MADE CONSENSUS. WHAT WE NEED TO DO WITH GETTING IT BACK ON THE AGENDA SO WE CAN ADVERTISE ACCORDINGLY. THANK YOU. NOW COMMISSIONER. SO SWORN IN. DO YOU HAVE THE UH THE ATTENDANCE TO RUN THE PLANNING BOARD. THE PARKS AND REC BOARD MEETING. WELL YOU'RE SAYING YOU STRUGGLE WITH ATTENDANCE TO THE MEETINGS. WE JUST WE. AS I SAID WE HAVE ONE VACANCY AND WE HAVE THE SECOND INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS NOT SHOWN UP FOR QUITE QUITE SOME TIME. SO WE STILL HAVE A QUORUM SO WE CAN WE CAN OPERATE THE MEETINGS. IT'S JUST THE THE MORE VARIED DISCUSSION MORE INPUT. THAT

[05:00:01]

THANK YOU OK. CAN WE GO BACK TO PARKS AND REC FOR JUST A MINUTE. PEOPLE ARE NOT SHOWING UP FOR MEETINGS. SO IF THEY DON'T HAVE LEGITIMATE REASONS THEY'RE PUTTING A BURDEN ON EVERYBODY ELSE. PEOPLE ARE SHOWING UP ON TIME AND THEY'RE WAITING AND PEOPLE AREN'T SHOWING UP AND THEY'RE NOT CALLING. WHY ARE THEY NOT MOVED ALONG. I

[05:05:02]

YOU KNOW VERY OBVIOUSLY EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT MY APPOINTMENT TO THE COMMITTEE DOES KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET IF WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT IN PLACE AS IT IS IT WILL HAVE TO RESPECT BE RESPECTFUL OF THE OTHER MEMBERS AND IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SHOW UP AT LEAST LET PEOPLE KNOW. SO YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY SHOW UP AND THEN NOBODY ELSE IS THERE IT'S JUST YOU KNOW THAT'S JUST NOT FAIR TO THEM. AND IF THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THEN MAYBE THEY DO NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT NOW HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE SOME NEW PEOPLE AND I LIKE THIS IDEA OF ASSIGNING PROJECTS. THAT'S A GREAT IDEA I'M GLAD THAT THAT I READ THIS YEAR. GREAT CAN YOU LET US KNOW WHEN OR LET THE RESPECTIVE COMMISSIONER KNOW WHEN THAT PERSON MISSES TWO OR THREE MEETINGS AND THEN AS A COMMISSION WE CAN DECIDE YOU KNOW THIS PERSON SHOULD BE REMOVED IF THEY CAN'T MAKE THE MEETING AND THEN THERE'S THE 4:00 TIMEFRAME A PROBLEM BECAUSE ISIS SERVE ON THE INSURANCE ADVISORY BOARD AND I DROPPED OUT BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE A 10 YEAR MEETING I NEEDED TO BE AT WORK SO 4:00 COULD BE A DIFFICULT TIME AS WELL.

BASICALLY THE RULES ARE IN PLACE. WE HAVE RULES IN PLACE THAT IF PEOPLE ARE NOT MAKING THE MEETING AGAIN IT GOES BACK TO LET'S FOLLOW OUR RULES. THEY'RE IN PLACE FOR A REASON. SO IF THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER ON ITEM NUMBER SIX IT WOULD BE LOVELY TO BE ABLE TO MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. WE VALUE. ALL RIGHT. RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO IT IS CURRENTLY NO NOT THAT TIME BUT 412 AND WE ARE NOW

[Items 7 & 8]

PLASTIC BAGS LIKE IF YOU GO TO CHICAGO OR SOME NORTHERN STATES LIKE D.C. IF YOU WANT A PLASTIC BAG YOU CAN HAVE ONE BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. SAME THING WITH CHICAGO. SO IN ORDER TO HAVE A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME LANGUAGE DRAFTED. WE HAVE CONSENSUS. ACTUALLY I DON'T KNOW IF WE DO. I'M NOT SEEING ANYBODY TO SPEAK. I AM ALL FOR THE ENVIRONMENT I AM ONE OF THOSE I LIKE TO CUT MY LITTLE PLASTIC THINGS THAT THE SODA COMES IN AND THE GATORADE COME IN. BUT I AM ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT TAKING STEPS WITHOUT MORE INFORMATION TO KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO AFFECT OUR BUSINESSES BECAUSE THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO AFFECT OUR RESTAURANT BUSINESSES THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE MORE THAN IT IS. WE'RE NOT STOPPING PUBLIX FROM SELLING STRAWS. NO WE'RE NOT STOPPING AND WE'RE ENCOURAGING WITH SO PAPER STRAWS. WELL THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BAN WHICH IS THE WORD STOP VERSUS AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO INCLUDE IT AGAINST ALL OF

[05:10:05]

[05:15:05]

THAT IS A PROBLEM. PEOPLE DON'T THINK THAT THEY HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN SELVES IS A PROBLEM BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE THE BURDEN OF NECESSARILY THE OTHER BUSINESSES FOR THAT. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF SOMETHING LOOKED INTO I'M GOING TO VICE MAYOR. THANK YOU. I DEFINITELY WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME MORE INFORMATION ON IT.

FOR INSTANCE ASIDE FROM THE STRAWS WHAT WILL I'M GOING TO USE TODAY AS AN EXAMPLE. YOU KNOW LUNCH BE PACKED IN. WHAT TYPE OF CONTAINER WOULD NEED TO BE USED. I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA. SO YOU KNOW I THINK WE HAVE TO BE CONSCIOUS OF THIS AND WE WOULD HAVE TO GIVE BUSINESSES OBVIOUSLY SOME LEAD TIME TO CONFORM TO WHATEVER WAS DECIDE. BUT I DEFINITELY WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT IS AVAILABLE ASIDE FROM WHAT CURRENTLY IS BEING USED FOR OUR BUSINESSES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION THAT IS NEEDED ON THIS PARTICULAR CIVIC TOPIC. SO I MAKE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS REGARDING COSTS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES. PAPER STRAWS COSTS ABOUT TWO AND A HALF CENTS MORE THAN PLASTIC STRAWS. STARBUCKS IS ONE OF MANY COMPANIES THAT RECENTLY ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL PHASE OUT PLASTIC STRAWS ENTIRELY AS WELL AS A COMPANY NAMED APATHY APPETIT MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND FOOD SERVICE MANAGER COMPANY THAT SERVICES ABOUT A THOUSAND LOCATIONS RECENTLY ANNOUNCED THEY WOULD STOP USING PLASTIC STRAWS AND FACILITIES THAT IT MANAGES. SO THIS IS YOU KNOW THIS IS NOT NEW. ALL THIS IS JULY 2013 CNBC. THE DIRECTION WE SHOULD BE MOVING. AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE'RE NOT THE SIZE OF FORT LAUDERDALE WE STILL HAVE BUSINESSES HERE AND WE HAVE CUSTOMERS HERE WHO ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS AND WE'D LIKE TO SEE US PUT FORTH THIS TYPE OF ORDINANCE. JUST ONE QUICK WAY. IT'S JUST A MATTER PROCESS. MAYOR IF I MAY BECAUSE THIS ITEM IS AN ITEM INITIATED BY THE COMMISSIONER AS OPPOSED TO THE PRIOR ITEM THE BOARD'S ITEM WHICH WAS DRIVEN BY SAFF AND I WOULD JUST ASK THAT TO THE EXTENT THE COMMISSION WOULD SORT TO PROVIDE DIRECTION THAT IT COME ON WEDNESDAY'S MEETING. THERE WAS A MOTION THAT WE ACTUALLY HAD SOME FORMAL DIRECTION OF THE COMMISSION REGARDING THE LAST ITEM ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS INITIATED BY STAFF AND IT REALLY WILL COME BACK TO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH STAFF IN THAT CONTEXT BECAUSE THIS IS SPECIFIC THE COMMISSIONERS ITEM I WOULD JUST ASK THE ITEM TO THE EXTENT THEY WANT TO BRING IT UP ON WEDNESDAY THAT IT COME BACK IN THERE BE SOME MOTION TO PURSUE WHATEVER DIRECTION THE COMMISSION WANT TO SEEK. THANK YOU WITH THE MIKES MIKE'S TIRED. SO BASICALLY YES THANK YOU. AND AGAIN COMMISSIONER IT WAS NOT TO SAY THIS ISN'T A GOOD IDEA BUT TO GET A MORE INCLUSIVE BETTER LOOK BEFORE WE JUST DO A KNEE JERK REACTION SAY BAN LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WE'LL BRING IT UP ON WEDNESDAY YET WEDNESDAY. AT THIS POINT IN TIME IS THERE ANY COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN. NO I'M SORRY. ANOTHER ITEM THAT WAS D THAT WAS DISCUSSED DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND WE CAN NOW LOOK AT IT AGAIN SINCE LEGISLATIVE SESSION IS OVER. I WOULD LIKE US TO AT A FUTURE MEETING LOOK AT MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES WE BANNED IT WHEN THAT WAS FIRST COMING UP AND THE DISCUSSION NEEDS TO BE HAD NOW THAT WE'RE THREE YEARS INTO IT AND WE NEED TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT. JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR IS FOR A RENEWED
