RESOURCE OFFICERS MEET AND GREET WITH THE MAYOR AND COMMISSION. COME ON UP GENTLEMEN. THAT I WANTED TO DIE SUDDENLY I CAN'T GET IT MORNING. WHY ARE YOU SO THANK YOU FOR INVITING US HERE TODAY IS THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SHARE WITH US SOME GREAT SUCCESSES THAT WE HAVE IN THE SCHOOL RESOURCE PROGRAM. AND FOR YOU TO PUT A FACE WITH A NAME SO YOU KNOW OUR OUR PUBLIC SAFETY AND PROTECTING THE CITIZENS OF TAMARACK IS OUR NUMBER ONE GOAL. IT'S THERE'S REALLY NO MORE. NOTHING THAT WE DO THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT AND HAVING THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THE SCHOOL I THINK IS A IS THE FIRST STEP TO MAKING SURE THAT OUR KIDS ARE SAFE. THERE ARE SEVEN THOUSAND KIDS COME TO TAMARACK EVERY DAY FOR SCHOOL. FORTUNATELY WE HAVE THREE GREAT PEOPLE WORKING IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND LIKE IS DEPUTY GENE ERIC'S RECENT. HE IS OUR NEWEST ONE. ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO I GOT A CALL FROM SOMEBODY WHO SAID HE'S INTERVIEWING HE IS A GUY WE WANT TO TALK TO. WE BROUGHT HIM IN. WE TALKED RON. HE MADE A BIG IMPRESSION ON US. AND YOU SAID TAMARACK ELEMENTARY AND HE'S GOING TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF AND TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIM RIGHT. THE FIRST WEEK AND A HALF. THANK YOU AUNTIE. AS HE SAID I HEARD THAT PARENTS HE SAW ALL THE KIDS AT THE SCHOOL CALL ME DEPUTY TO SIGN BEING A TAMARACK ELEMENTARY ROUGHLY AROUND 750 KIDS. AS OF RIGHT NOW I ALREADY HAD GREAT CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM THEIR PARENTS. I SPENT THE WHOLE FIRST WEEK JUST REALLY GETTING TO KNOW THE KIDS BECAUSE IT'S ULTIMATELY IMPORTANT LIKE YOU SAID OUT OF THE SEVEN THOUSAND KIDS THAT ARE IN TOWN LIKE FOR SCHOOL. WE WANT TO PUT A FACE TO THE UNIFORM. WE WANT TO PUT A NAME TO THE UNIFORM. AND WHEN THEY SEE US BEING KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT ONLY HERE TO PROTECT THEM BUT WE'RE ALSO THERE TO BUILD THAT RELATIONSHIP. AND THE PARENTS ARE IDENTIFYING THAT MORE AND MORE. I'VE ALSO SPENT A LOT OF TIME JUST WALKING THE PERIMETER OF THE SCHOOL MAKING SURE SAFETY IS OUR MAIN CONCERN. THE TRAINING THAT WE TOOK FROM ACTIVE SHOOTER TO TRAUMA THREAT ASSESSMENTS OVER THE SUMMER OR LAST YEAR OVERALL I'M JUST ENSURING THAT WE WERE PREPARED FOR THIS. IT WAS MORE THAN JUST A SHAKE HANDS KISS BABIES AT THE SCHOOL. BUT IT'S HONESTLY SETTING UP A PLAN TO ENSURE EVERYTHING FUNCTIONS THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. SO I WAS ABLE TO GET WITH PRINCIPAL GARRETT ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL MISS THOMPSON AND ALL OF THE TEACHERS AS WE WENT THROUGH OUR FIRST CODE RED DRILL. WE WENT THROUGH TWO FIRE DRILLS ARE TELLING THE TRUTH AND JUST IDENTIFYING AREAS OF THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW SO JUST FINE TUNING TO MAKE SURE THAT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WE'RE PREPARED AND EQUIPPED.ANY QUESTIONS. OK. I'M GOING TO SHUFFLE GOING TO SHUFFLE THEM THROUGH. DEPUTY DE
[00:05:01]
GRACE ANTHONY DE GRACE DEPUTY ANTHONY DE GRACE IS A IS A THREE YEAR DEPUTY. THEY'RE ALL GOING TO LEAVE AND HEAD BACK TO THEIR SCHOOLS. HE IS A THREE YEAR DEPUTY. HE HAS BEEN WITH THE AGENCY FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. YOU WERE WE FOUND OURSELVES THREE YEARS AGO IN NEED OF A SCHOOL RESOURCE COMPANY. HE STEPPED UP AND TOOK ON THE ROLE HE SPLIT TIME BETWEEN TAMARACK AND CHALLENGER BEFORE. WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET RID OF SARA. SO HE'S FULL TIME AT CHALLENGER RIGHT NOW. JUST KIND OF GROUND ZERO FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF TRAFFIC PATTERNS. SO HE'S TO SEE IT FIRSTHAND BUT HE'S A GREAT ASSET AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO DEPUTY DE GRACE. THANKS.GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. I I'M STILL ENJOYING MY TIME IN THE CITY OF TAMARACK.
I THINK I'VE GOT ONE OF THE BEST SPOTS IN THE AGENCY. MOST OF YOU HAVE COME OUT TO MY SCHOOL AT DIFFERENT TIMES LAST YEAR IN THE BEGINNING AND THIS YEAR THE KIDS AT MY SCHOOL ARE AWESOME. ALL THE KIDS IN TAMARA ARE AWESOME. I HAVE MY OWN LITTLE HOME THERE AND I ENJOY A LOT. THE KIDS ENJOY IT WHEN THEY COME TO VISIT. YOU SEE EVERYONE'S HAPPY. WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH THE BUMPS OF THE TRAFFIC WITH THE NEW CONSTRUCTION. THE CITY. YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB HELPING US GET THE PARKS IN AND OUT IN THE FIRST COUPLE WEEKS WAS A LITTLE ROUGH BUT IT'S GETTING BETTER EVERY DAY IT'S TAKING LESS TIME THE KIDS ARE ENJOYING. WE'RE CURRENTLY AT NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO STUDENTS THIS MORNING. BY OCTOBER 1ST WHEN THEY RELEASED THE NEW REASSIGNMENTS APPROXIMATELY 80 MORE CHILDREN FROM QUESTIONS. SHE HAS A CAMERA SYSTEM HAS BEEN UPDATED. WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 10 NEW CAMERAS. WHICH BRINGS US UP TO APPROXIMATELY 43 WHEN THE MARKET COMES OUT. 43. WHEN THERE ARE FIGHTS AT THE SCHOOLS THAT REPORTED TO YOU GUYS. OR DOES THAT HANDLE INTERNALLY BY THE STAFF.
IF IT'S JUST PUSHING OR IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A FIGHT I'LL GET NOTIFIED. EFFECT ON LAST THURSDAY. WAS GONNA BE A FIGHT AFTER SCHOOL ONE OF THE SAFETY PATROL KIDS HEARD ABOUT IT. THOSE DIDN'T LET THE KIDS WALK OFF CAMPUS HE ENDED UP ONE OF THE PARENTS CAME THE OTHER ONE WAS AT WORK. SO ONE KID WALKED BUT IT WASN'T ACTUALLY A FIGHT THAT DAY WE WERE ABLE TO TALK TO THE KIDS FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND WORK THROUGH IT. BUT I HAVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS. I'M KIND OF GLAD YOU'RE IN POLICE REPORTS ON KIDS HAVING PUSHING THINGS THAT'S GOT TO CLOSED DOORS ON THEIR FUTURE. MY RENT WAS NOT ONE IN THERE. I DON'T WANT THAT. IF IT ESCALATES TO OLDER KIDS HAVING FIGHTS I HAVE A RIGHT AND A DUTY TO PROTECT THOSE CHILDREN. OK. IF IT BECOMES A PHYSICAL ALTERCATION IT WILL BE DONE. ALL RIGHT. HAVE A GREAT DAY. TAKE. THANKS. OUR THIRD SRO IS DEPUTY JARED WEISS AS DEPUTY WEISS A SECOND TIME AT. THE SCHOOL RESOURCE STEPHANIE AGAIN. IT'S. IT GOES BACK TO WHEN WE NEED SOMEBODY. GENERALLY IT'S BECAUSE OF RETIREMENT AND SO WE TRY TO PLAN FOR IT THE BEST WE CAN. AND JARED LEFT A GREAT SPOT WORKING WITH JENNIFER AND TOOK OVER AS THE SCHOOL RESOURCE DEPUTY LAST YEAR HIS SECOND YEAR. HE'S GOT TWELVE PLUS YEARS ON. HE'S A VETERAN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND DOES A GREAT JOB AND IS DEEPLY COMMITTED TO THE KIDS AT MILLENNIUM. SO MORNING JARED WISE. THAT'S OUR MILLENNIAL COLLEGIATE ACADEMY SIX TO TWELVE THERE'S ROUGHLY 17 HUNDRED KIDS IN THIS SCHOOL AND EVERY DAY THERE'S MORE. MY SCHOOL'S VERY DIVERSE OR COMMUNITY WISE. WE HAVE CHILDREN FROM A LOT OF THE HILL BUT LAKES MARDI GRAS REAL SUNRISE TAMARACK AND COLD SPRINGS ALL IN ONE SCHOOL. WE HAVE KIDS THAT COME FROM ALL THE WAY FROM HOLLYWOOD FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL TO PARKLAND FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL. SO VERY DIVERSE COMMUNITY. DIFFERENT DIFFERENT CITIES ATTEND THAT SCHOOL. SEVENTEEN HUNDRED PERSONALITIES OF PARENTS TO DEAL WITH IT SO IT'S NOT AN EASY GIG. BUT THE FIRST TWO WEEKS NOW HAVE BEEN A VERY PLEASANT I SHOULD SAY NOT A WORD. PRINCIPAL BALL IS A GREAT GREAT PRINCIPAL TO WORK FOR SHE IS HER SECOND YEAR ALONG WITH ME. SO LAST YEAR WAS TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. THIS
[00:10:04]
YEAR WE HAVE A GAME PLAN AND IT'S BEEN A LOT DIFFERENT. SHE'S HIRING SOME MORE SCHOOL RESOURCE SCHOOLS SECURITY SPECIALISTS AND CAMPUS MONITORS FOR SCHOOLS. NOW WE HAVE TWO OR SIX OR CAMPUS MONITORS AND TWO SECURITY SPECIALISTS. SHE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF HIRING ANOTHER ONE JUST BECAUSE THE SCHOOL COVERS FOUR DIFFERENT BUILDINGS. AND LIKE I SAID 17 HUNDRED KIDS AND EVERY DAY IT'S GETTING BIGGER. MY JOB WITH TWO KIDS I INTERACT WITH THEM AND DON'T GET TOO INVOLVED WITH THEM UNLESS ARE NEW TO THE SCHOOL CALLS ME FOR PROBLEMS. MOST OF TIME IT'S REFERRED BACK TO THE SCHOOL BECAUSE IT'S NOT A LAW ENFORCEMENT MATTER. IF ANYONE HAS TEENAGE KIDS THEN YOU KNOW WHAT WE DEAL WITH AT A DAILY BASIS I DEAL WITH KIDS GOING THROUGH PUBERTY FROM 12 YEARS OLD TO 18 YEARS OLD. SO YOU BUILD UP DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES DEPRESSION ANXIETY YOU NAME IT. ALL MY KIDS HAVE A SOME GUYS THEY MAY SEE ME AROUND THE CITY. SO IF YOU WANT WHY WHY HAVEN'T I SO CERTAIN EVENTS THAT'S WHERE I'VE BEEN AT THE SCHOOL SO ANY QUESTIONS. SAME QUESTION BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU YOU HAVE DISCRETION IN TERMS OF ARREST AND ONLY ARREST THEM IF IT GETS TO WEAPON WHEN IT GETS A FELONY LEVEL. THAT'S WHEN I MADE THE DECISION TO ARREST THEM. IF IT'S A SIMPLE MUTUAL COMBATANTS WHICH WAS THE TIME TO RAISE THE SCORE AGAIN DO ADMINISTRATIVELY TO HAVE CERTAIN PROGRAMS OUT THERE. I HEAR EVERY FIGHT THAT GOES ON I HAVE THE RADIO ON AND I GET ALL THE FIGHTS SOMETIMES I WITH TEENAGE KIDS I'VE HAD FIGHTS FROM THE DISTANCE TO MEET YOU RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TO GO IN AND BREAK IT UP AND THEN SEPARATE THEM AND I BRING THEM TO THE POWERS THAT BE AT THE SCHOOL OR AS CRIME WISE IF IT'S A CRIME IS COMMITTED ON SCHOOL TO BE DOCUMENTED IF THE CHILD NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED HE'LL BE ARRESTED. IF I CAN REFER TO THE SCHOOL I PREFER TO DO THAT JUST I KNOW BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT ARRESTING SOMEBODY DOES TO PEOPLE'S FUTURES. I WAS A RECRUITER BEFORE THIS AND I HAD TO DO BACKGROUND CHECKS ON YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO WANTED TO JOIN THE SERVICE. SO I KNOW WHAT PUTTING THEM IN THE SYSTEM DOES. RIGHT. OK. SO IF I COULD HAVE THE DISCRETION TO ARREST THEM THEN I WILL OR SOMETIMES I SEE SOMEONE WE DO NEED TO BE ARRESTED TO LEARN THE SYSTEM AND GET A WAKE UP CALL. ALL RIGHT. OK. SO ANYONE ELSE SAW YOU THE FIRST DAY COMMISSIONER SCHOOL. THANK YOU THANK YOU. OK. SO LAST THING I'D BE REMISS TO SAY WE HAVE SERGEANT MIKE ATLANTA IN THE BACK. YOU SAY A LOT. MIKE I WON'T BRING HIM UP HERE BUT MIKE MIKE IS A VETERAN SERGEANT WITH 20 PLUS YEARS ON THIS YEAR. WE CHANGE THINGS UP A LITTLE BIT. WE NOW HAVE DIRECT SUPERVISION OVER OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE DEPUTIES. AND HE TAKES CARE OF MAKING SURE. THAT THE DEPUTIES HAVE THE COVERAGE THAT THEY NEED. HE MAKES SURE THAT OUR CONES ARE SET UP HE MAKES SURE BASICALLY EVERYTHING INVOLVING THE SCHOOL GOES THROUGH HIM. IT'S NICE TO HAVE A FRONT LINE SUPERVISOR ONE PERSON THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THREE OF OUR SCHOOLS THAT REPORTS DIRECTLY TO ME. SO IT'S A IT'S AN IDEAL SITUATION AND I'M OPTIMISTIC THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GREAT SCHOOL YEAR AND I'M GOING TO CLOSE OUT. WE'RE VERY HAPPY WITH THE FIRST EIGHT DAYS. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO LEFT WITH THE PLAZA DOWNSTAIRS DOWN THE STREET. THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING VERY WELL WE'VE THAT WE'VE BEEN INTERACTING WITH THE KIDS MUCH MORE THAN WE HAVE IN THE PAST. THEY SEEM TO BE. THEY SEEM TO HAVE A DIFFERENT TONE AS THEY'RE COMING ACROSS YOU KNOW. AND WE HAD A GREAT MEETING WITH THE PRINCIPAL A FEW WEEKS AGO AND YOU KNOW WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT OVER THERE AND THAT WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR US WOULD BE FOR ANOTHER LARGE SCALE FIGHT THAT HAPPENED LAST TIME. SO WE. WE HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. BUT THE FIRST EIGHT DAYS WAS IMPORTANT FOR US TO MAKE SURE WE HAD A I'VE SEEN THE SIGNAGE OUT THERE. YES. WE'LL PICK UP WHERE NOBODY LISTENED TO. SO THAT'S WHY I ASKED ABOUT THAT. IT'S NICE THAT SEE YOU. WE'RE TRYING. YES WE ARE. WE ARE. THANK YOU. READ IT. THANK YOU TO THE CITY FOR LOANING US THOSE BECAUSE OUR MESSAGE BOARDS WERE IN THE SCHOOL ZONES. SO WE WE NEEDED SOME HELP FROM CITY ON THAT AND PUBLIC WORKS CAME UP AGAIN TO HELP US WITH THAT AND PUT THOSE SIGNS IN THERE. BUT AS I WAS OUT THERE ALMOST EVERY DAY AS WELL AND I WOULD SEE PEOPLE PULLING BACK IN. AND YOU KNOW PARENTS JUST WAITING AND AND I I SAID YOU SAID SIGN OVER THERE AND THEY WOULD LOOK OVER AT THE SIGN AND I SUPPOSE WE PICK IT UP HERE AND YOU KNOW WHY WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU KNOW AND THEY PASSED THESE BIG SIGNS. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GETTING BIGGER SIGNS OR MAYBE A BANNER PLAYING[00:15:04]
SOMETHING. SO YOU KNOW IT'S LESS THIS YEAR THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR AND WE'LL LEAVE THOSE SIGNS FOR A LITTLE LONGER. BUT WE TOOK THE EYE IN THE SKY AWAY. WE DID YES.WE HAVE TO. WE HAVE TO GIVE THE EYE IN THE SKY TO THE DISTRICT THAT WE BOUGHT IT FROM. BUT MAYBE WE CAN BUY IT AGAIN. SURE. YOU MADE IT. THANK YOU. YES IT'S MY. MY PLEASURE. THEY ARE GREAT PEOPLE AND I JUST I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO BE ABLE TO PUT A FACE WITH A NAME NOTHING FLIP AND ASK ABOUT THE SIGN. HOW ARE YOU DEALING WITH THE PARENTS. I MEAN I CAN IMAGINE. YES. I CAN'T IMAGINE PEOPLE ARE FOLLOWING YOU. I'M GOING TO ASK HOW YOU HANDLE IT. NO THEY'RE NOT. AND YOU KNOW IT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY ALTHOUGH THE OWNER OF THE SHOPPING CENTER STARTED TELLING DAY 1 STUDENTS THAT WERE PARKING OVER THERE BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW NOT A LOT OF PARK OVER THERE AND THEN LEAVE YOUR CAR THERE ALL DAY TO GO. ALL RIGHT. SO I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY FEEDBACK FROM JENNIFER YET ON THAT BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S BECOME A BIG ISSUE. BUT WE'RE PLEASED WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING THIS YEAR. SO THANK YOU. NUMBER TWO WHAT'S NUMBER TWO. TR 1 3 3 1 3. THE TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN

AND AGAIN THE EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON OCTOBER 12TH SATURDAY FROM ELEVEN THIRTY TO THREE AT THE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER. SO AT THIS TIME WE'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM CHRISTIAN MISSION ABOUT. GOOD MORNING. MORNING. TELL ME JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE MERGER BETWEEN TIME WHERE I CAN WORK ON A DEAL. HAS THAT BEEN SMOOTH YES WE THINK SO. WE THINK IT'S A SUCCESS. WE'VE WE'VE HAD OVER 14 AN AWFUL LOT OF OUR MEMBERS AND WE HAVE BEEN NOTED AROUND THE COUNTY AS A GROWING CHAMBER AND WITH OTHER CHAMBERS ALSO MERGING IT'S THE PATTERN WAY THAT CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE ARE GOING OK. AND HOW MUCH MONEY DOES NORTH WANT TO USE THE CHAMBER FOR IT SINCE THE CITY OF HAMA. IT'S THE SAME AMOUNT. HOW MUCH ABOUT ME LAST YEAR 15000. AND THEY'VE PLEDGED 20000 FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. ON THE FRONT OF YOUR PRESENTATION IT'S ABOUT TIME LIKE BOTH YOUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 2019 TASTE OF TAMARACK. SO WOULD YOU SAY THAT NORTH FLORIDA AND TAMARACK ARE BOTH PARTNERS IN THIS EVENT. IT'S A CITY OF NORTH FLORIDA THAT IS POTENT WITH ALL THE CHAMBER EVENTS DUE TO THIS EVENT. ALSO YES THERE WILL BE NO FAULT IN OUR RESTAURANT REPRESENTATION. AND TELL ME ABOUT THE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF GOODS BETWEEN FOR THIS PARTICULAR FOR THIS PARTICULAR EVENT THAT HAVE STAFF ON SITE NOW THEY'LL BE VOLUNTEERS ON SITE SO IT SEEMS LIKE THE ONUS A LOT OF BUSINESSES ON THE CITY OF TAMARACK TO PROVIDE ALL OF THE THINGS THAT GRADUATES TALKING ABOUT. AND BECAUSE THE CITY OF NORTH FLORIDA IS ALSO A PARTNER OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND ALSO THIS EVENT. I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT THE CITY OF NORTH FLORIDA TAKES SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITY. I LOOKED AT THE
[00:25:04]
PRESENTATION FROM LAST YEAR VERSUS THIS YEAR AND IT'S THE EXACT SAME THING. I LOOKED AT THE PRESENT. THIS EXACT SAME THING. IT'S A COPY AND PASTE PRETTY MUCH.AND SO IF THE CITY OF ERBIL IS A PARTNER IN THIS THIS SHOULD NOT BE A COPY AND PASTE. THIS SHOULD HAVE SOME RULES GIVEN TO THE CITY OF GLORY AND SOME RULES GIVEN TO THIS TO THE CITY OF TAMARACK. I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR. THE CITY OF NORTH ORDINANCE GIVING SO MUCH MONEY TO THE CHAMBER CITY OF TAMARACK IS GIVING SO MUCH MONEY TO THE CHAMBER BUT THEY DON'T HAVE SOME OF THE SAME RULES THAT WE HAVE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE ONUS IS ON OUR STAFF TO PROVIDE THE YOU KNOW OF THESE THINGS TO KEEP THE EVENT FROM FLOATING. SO I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU KNOW SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES ARE DONE. THIS IS NOT A FRUSTRATING EVENT FOR ANY OF US ON THE CITY COMMISSIONERS. IT'S PROTECTING TAXPAYERS DOLLARS. SO THIS IS NOT PERSONAL. NOBODY SHOULD BE STRESSING ABOUT IT. I THINK WE DEFINITELY SHOULD SEE THAT RIGHT. SO. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE BEFORE I VOTE ON ON WEDNESDAY WHAT THE RULES OF THE CITY OF NY WILL IS IN THIS EVENT AND MAKING SURE THAT THERE IS EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF RULES FOR THIS EVENT. COULD THAT HAPPEN. COULD ALL OF US GET A COPY OF IT. WELL THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS MR. BOLTON. I JUST WANT TO REPLY BACK AND SAY THAT WE HAVE A BUSINESS COMMUNITY EVENT IN THE CITY OF NO SORT IT OUT WHICH WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CITY. I KNOW LOT OF TALENT. I MADE A REQUEST. I MEAN WILL YOU BE ABLE TO I CAN WRITE IT. WE'VE MADE A REQUEST AND I CAN DEAL WITH THE REQUEST BUT I WAS JUST REPLYING. OKAY. WELL I MEAN THAT THAT'S ALL I NEED. I JUST NEED THAT REQUEST GIVEN TO ALL OF US BEFORE WEDNESDAY BEFORE I VOTE ON IT. AND IF IT IS NOT EQUITABLE IT IS NOT EQUAL IF THE ROLES ARE EQUAL AND THEN I CAN TELL YOU I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE CANNOT JUST TAKE ALL THE BURDEN FOR AN EVENT THE CITY OF NOT VOTED OUT IT'S GOING TO ALSO BENEFIT FROM. SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR MAKING THAT REQUEST AND GIVEN TO ALL OF US. MOVING ON. HOW MANY LOCAL RESTAURANTS DO WE HAVE IN THE CITY OF HOW MANY LOCAL. I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER WITH ME RIGHT NOW. YOU MEAN YOU'RE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A FOOT OF LAND SO THAT SHOULD BE RIGHT OFF THE TOP LIPS. I WANT TO SEE HOW MANY RESTAURANTS WERE ENGAGED VERSUS HOW MANY RESTAURANTS ARE ARE PART OF THE EVENT. SO THAT SORT OF INFORMATION WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS WELL BEFORE WEDNESDAY HELPED ME DISTINGUISH THE ROLE OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WITH OUR NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. GIVE ME GIVE ME HOW YOU WORK HAND-IN-HAND DISTINGUISH THE ROLE. BECAUSE I SPOKE TO A COUPLE OF PEOPLE SOME OF THE ROLES THAT THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR IS DOING. YOU SHOULD BE DOING IS THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE MONEY THAT WE'RE GIVING YOU EVERY YEAR STILL STANDS EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. SO HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE BENEFIT OF HAVING THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE STILL WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR ON BOARD THE BENEFIT OF HAVING A LOCAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS A MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION. WE RAISE OUR MONEY THROUGH MEMBERSHIPS AND EVENTS. WE THINK WE CONTRIBUTE AND BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER TO DO BUSINESS TOGETHER. WE THINK WE CONTRIBUTE TO MAKE AN IMPACT INTO THE CITY OF TIME I CAN ALSO TO THE CITY OF KNOX SORTED OUT BY HAVING EVENTS WHERE BUSINESSES ARE PROMOTED BUSINESSES ARE COMING TOGETHER FOR THE COMMON GOOD.
HAVING A TASTE OF TAMARACK OR AS I WAS GOING TO MENTION THE CITY OF NORTH LAUDERDALE SPONSORED BUSINESS IN THE PARK WHICH THEY DO A GOOD SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE FOR THAT EVENT HELPS BUSINESS. BELIEVE IT OR NOT A LOT OF BUSINESSES HAVE MET THROUGH THE CHAMBER AND DONE A LOT OF A LOT OF COMMERCE. SO WE THINK WE'RE HELPING PEOPLE KNOW EACH OTHER IN THE COMMUNITY AND WE FEEL WE'RE MAKING AN IMPACT IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY BY HOSTING THESE EVENTS. I HAVE MET OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER A NUMBER OF TIMES WE'VE SPOKEN QUITE FREQUENTLY SO IT SEEMS LIKE THE ROLE OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS TO DO MOSTLY EVENTS AND NOT NECESSARILY PROVIDE OTHER SERVICES FOR THE FOR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY THAT IS NOT FOSTERING THE GROWTH. AND THAT'S THE STUFF YOU'D SEE ALL THE OTHER RULES ARE FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. I JUST WANT TO SEE THE VALUE OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE STILL IN OUR CITY. WITH US BEING THE NEW ECONOMIC DIRECTOR UPWARDS A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR SO ON ANOTHER WHAT WOULD BE DISTINGUISHING YOUR ROLE
[00:30:05]
WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MAKING SURE THAT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS STILL VIABLE FOR THE CITY OF TAMARACK GIVEN THE NEW CHANGES WITH THE NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. I WANT TO SEE THAT OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE GOING TO THE RIGHT PLACES. I WANT TO SEE HOW MONEY IS ALSO SPENT. NOW THAT YOU HAVE A BIGGER BUDGET OR WITH THE CITY OF NORTH FLORIDA I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT REPORT BEFORE WEDNESDAY AS WELL IS A TEST OF TIME LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE WRITING THESE REQUESTS NOW BECAUSE I REALLY NEED THEM. I SEE GREAT WRITING BUT I'M NOT SURE IF HE'S TAKING NOTES FOR YOU PETER. IT'S A TEST OF TIME ROCKET TIME LIKE AN EVENT OR IS IT OWNED BY THE OWNER BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AS FAR AS I BELIEVE IT'S A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EVENT WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY THE CITY OF TOWN. I CANNOT THE LOCAL BUSINESSES I MEAN THE PLATINUM SPONSORS DO YOU JUST WANT SO YOU DID NOT ASK THE CITY OF NORTH AGO TO BECOME A PLATINUM SPONSORING. NOT. NOT THIS YEAR. NO BECAUSE THEIR ACTIVITY OF BEING A PLATINUM SPONSOR WITH THE BASE ARTS EVENT IN NOVEMBER WHICH IS SPONSORED BY THE CITY AT HAMPTON PINES PARK WHICH IS LIKE A SYMMETRICAL PACKAGE TO IT ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT INDOORS IT'S NOT A COMMUNITY CENTER. THERE IS A PARK IS SHUT DOWN NO SHELTERS ARE RENTED. IT'S UH IT'S QUITE NICE PACKAGE THAT WE GET HOW ABOUT WHAT KIND OF SPONSORS ARE SPONSORS RATHER. I DON'T ADVERTISE THAT LISTED AS SPONSORS APPETITES OF TIME. YEAH WE HAVE ABOUT HEALTH CORRESPOND TO THE TYPE OF SPONSORSHIP IS THE CITY OF NY DOING LISTED IN AT ALL IS A SPONSOR. NO NOT FOR THIS EVENT. SO WHY IS IT CALLED A TIME LIKE NORTH LITTLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A TITLE SPONSORSHIP. NOW THE TERM LIKE 10 MIGHT NOT FLOATED OUT.CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS THE ORGANIZATION THAT IS PRESENTING A TASTE OF TAMARACK WHICH HAS BEEN WELL BEFORE THE NORTH LAUDERDALE PARTNERSHIP. IT WAS THE TAMPA CHAMBER THAT PRODUCED THE TASTE OF TAMPA 16 YEARS WELL FOR 14 YEARS UNTIL WE CAME TOGETHER. I'D LIKE TO SEE HOW YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR EVENTS ARE BENEFITING BOTH CITIES. THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK ON THE CITY. I THINK IT'S A VERY WELL-RUN CITY AND THERE ARE YOU KNOW ON THE UP AND UP. I JUST WANT TO SEE THE EVENTS THAT YOU HAVE FEAST OF TAMARACK IS SOMETHING WHATEVER IT IS IN THE PARK AND IN HOW THESE EVENTS ARE MARKETABLE. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RESPONSE IS ONE TIME BENEFITS TIME LIKE SPONSORS ONE OF THEIR BENEFITS. THAT'S THE STUFF I WANT TO SEE THE BALANCE BETWEEN OR AMONG ALL OF THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. NO MORE QUESTIONS FOR NO INVESTMENT. COULD YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE NORTH LAUDERDALE EVENT THAT CHAMBER DOES AND THAT TAMARACK DOESN'T REALLY HAVE A PARTNERSHIP. BECAUSE IT'S IN NORTH LAUDERDALE ABOUT THAT IS THE BEST ART IN THE PARK. IT'S NOVEMBER THE 16TH. HAMPTON PINES PARK IS RESERVED FOR THE CHECK FOR THIS EVENT TOTALLY. THEY PUT UP PROVIDE NUMEROUS SERVICES AND IN PREPARING THE PARK AND GETTING IT READY FOR US AND PROMOTING THE EVENT. WE KIND OF TARGET MORE NORTH LAUDERDALE FIRST AND THEN TAMARACK AFTER. VENDORS. AND WE ALSO HAVE A BUSINESS AFTER HOURS POLISH-AMERICAN CLUB FOR NORTH FLORIDA AND WE HAVE A BUSINESS TO BUSINESS EXPO SCHEDULED IN TAMPA. SO WE HAVE FOUR EVENTS IN EACH CITY A BUSINESS TO BUSINESS AND TO THAT BUSINESS TO COMMUNITY. SO WE FEEL AT THE MOMENT THAT IS A NICE SYMMETRICAL THING FOR BOTH CITIES THE EVENTS THAT HIGHLIGHT NORTH LAUDERDALE BUSINESSES THAT TAMARACK NORTH LAUDERDALE CHAMBER DOES IS THE CITY OF TAMARACK A SPONSOR OF THOSE EVENTS OR IS THE CITY OF NORTH LAUDERDALE A SPONSOR CITY OF NORTH LAUDERDALE THIS IS A SPONSOR FOR THOSE. THANK YOU THANK YOU COMMISSION PRESIDENT. SEEING OTHER COMMENTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TEST OF TIME LIKE THIS YEAR AS ALWAYS AND PEOPLE NOT JUST IN OUR CITY LOOK FORWARD TO IT. SO IT'LL BE A GREAT EVENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO NUMBER THREE TIER 1 3 3 1 5. THE EMOJI
[3. TR13315 - MOU In support of Solid Waste Independent District]
IN SUPPORT OF SOLID WASTE INDEPENDENT DISTRICT. WE HAVE PUBLIC SERVICES DIRECTOR JACK STRAIN AND BUDGET CONTRACTS MANAGER TRY GUYS. GOOD MORNING. GOOD TO SEE YOU.[00:35:18]
MORNING. JACK STRAIN PUBLIC SERVICE DIRECTOR GUYS BUDGET CONTRACTS MANAGER.WELL WE HAVE TEMP RESOLUTION 1 3 3 15 M O U BETWEEN BROWARD COUNTY AND THE CITY OF TAMARACK REGARDING A COLLABORATIVE STUDY AND SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING SYSTEM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT. WE'RE BRINGING BEFORE YOU BECAUSE WE THINK IT'S A WORTHWHILE EFFORT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE KIND OF HOPE WILL REPLACE THE SUNSHINE R B WHICH WAS IN POWER FOR HOW MANY YEARS. TROY TROY IS THE EXPERT HERE. HE WAS ON THE ATTACK COMMITTEE FOR SO MANY YEARS SO LONG AND SHORT OF I'M GOING TO LET TROY KIND OF TAKE YOU THROUGH THIS FULL MEMBER OF UNDERSTANDING A HE'S BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE WASTE SYSTEM IN BROWARD COUNTY FOR A LONG TIME AND A VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON AND HE CAN KIND OF TAKE YOU THROUGH THE HISTORY AND WHY WE THINK THIS IS A PRODUCTIVE IDEA ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING. SO PRIOR TO 1986 ALL OF THE BROWARD COUNTY CITIES.
AND THAT AND THE COUNTY ITSELF. WERE ALL OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY WERE ALL IN DIFFERENT OPERATORS WITHIN THE SOLID WASTE WORLD SO TO SPEAK. AND IT WAS VERY HEAVY RELIANCE ON LANDFILL. SO COLLECTIVELY THERE IS A DECISION THAT WE NEEDED TO CREATE A INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE SYSTEM WHICH WOULD FOCUS ON OTHER AREAS RATHER THAN LANDFALLING AND NAMELY THEY LOOKED AT RECYCLING AND WASTE ENERGY PLANT SO THE MATERIAL RECOVERY AND THEN CONVERTING SOLID WASTE INTO INTO ELECTRICITY. AND SO IN 1986 THE RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM WAS CREATED IN NINETEEN EIGHTY SEVEN THE CITY OF TAMARACK JOINED. THAT'S JOINED THAT GROUP AND FROM FROM 1987 ACTUALLY FROM 1986 UNTIL 2013 THAT RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM EXISTED AND PROVIDED EXACTLY WHAT THEY SET OUT TO PROVIDE WHICH WAS MANAGING THE OVERALL CONTRACTS FOR RECYCLING PROCESSING AND HELPING TO MANAGE THE TO WASTE ENERGY PLANTS ALONG WITH ADDING SOME ADDITIONAL ANCILLARY SERVICES SUCH AS THAT HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM THAT EXISTED PREVIOUSLY THE BROWARD COUNTY RECYCLE PAINT PROGRAM SOME OUTREACH PROGRAMS ALL OF THOSE THINGS WERE UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THIS RECOVERED RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM ALONG WITH BROWARD COUNTY SOLID WASTE RECYCLING SERVICES AS BEING THE THE AGENCY THAT THAT ULTIMATELY OVERSAW THAT PROCESS. AND IN THE IN 2013 WHEN THE SYSTEM SUNSET IT ONLY INCLUDED 26 OF THE 30 BROWARD COUNTY CITIES. AND SO IT HAD VERY GOOD REPRESENTATION EARLY FOR CITIES AT THE END OF IT THAT THAT THAT WERE NEVER PART OF IT. AND AS I STATED IN 2013 THE RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM WAS ALLOWED TO EXPIRE. WE WERE. AS OF 2011 THERE WAS REALLY STRONG MOMENTUM TO REDO THE RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM. AND UNFORTUNATELY THAT JUST IT COLLAPSED. AND SO WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT WE REVERTED BACK TO SORT OF THIS PRE 1986 WORLD. OBVIOUSLY WE STILL HAVE THE WASTE ENERGY PLANT THAT OPERATES AND THERE STILL IS A FOCUS ON RECYCLING VERSUS JUST LANDFILL LINK BUT IT'S RESULTED IN ALL THESE INDIVIDUAL CITIES HAVING TO SORT OF FEND FOR OURSELVES AS FAR AS GETTING DISPOSAL CONTRACTS FOR GARBAGE AND PROCESSING CONTRACTS FOR RECYCLING. AND UNFORTUNATELY AT THE EXACT SAME TIME WE'VE SEEN A CONSOLIDATION IN THE SOLID WASTE INDUSTRY. SO I REALLY FEEL LIKE IT PUTS THE CITIES AT A STRONG DISADVANTAGE WHEN WE'RE HAVING TO TO NEGOTIATE DIRECTLY WITH ONLY ONE OR TWO PLAYERS AND NOT HAVING THAT COLLECTIVE VOICE THAT WE HAD INTO THE RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM. ALL RIGHT. AND SO THAT TO ME THAT'S THE THE NUMBER ONE KEY BENEFIT THAT THAT THE SOLID WASTE SYSTEM PROVIDED THE ANCILLARY SERVICES WERE GREAT. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE A FAIRLY GOOD JOB SINCE THE RESOURCE RECOVERY BOARD HAS THE RECOVERY SYSTEM HAS
[00:40:01]
HAS DISSOLVED. WE'VE DONE WE'VE DONE FAIRLY WELL AND BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES BUT THE NEGOTIATING OF OF THESE HUGE CONTRACTS IS REALLY THAT PROBABLY THE BIGGEST THING THAT'S THAT I THINK IS IS AFFECTING US. AND AS YOU AS YOU MAY RECALL I THINK PART OF THE WHAT THE REQUEST RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM IS THAT THEY'RE TIPPING FEES THAT WE WERE BEING CHARGED AS BEING MEMBERS THAT WERE I'LL USE THE WORD ARTIFICIALLY HIGH BUT ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS THAT ADDITIONAL COST THAT WAS PROVIDING THOSE ANCILLARY SERVICES. AND I AND I THINK AT THE TIME WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB OF EDITING THOSE SERVICES AS OPPOSED TO THROWING OUT THE ENTIRE RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM. ALL RIGHT. AND SO IN 2013 WHEN THE RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM DISSOLVED I THINK YOU GUYS ARE AWARE THAT A STUDY WAS DONE TO DETERMINE WHAT TO DO WITH THE WITH THE ASSETS WHICH RESULTED IN A LAWSUIT THE CITY PARTICIPATED IN THAT ALONG WITH CITY SUNRISE WAS KIND OF THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND IT BUT WE WERE ONE OF THE NAMED PARTICIPANTS OF THAT LAWSUIT WHICH CAME OUT. I WILL SAY FAVORABLE FAVORABLY FOR THE CITIES AND AT LEAST THEY WERE ABLE TO I THINK APPROPRIATELY REDISTRIBUTE SOME OF THE FUNDS AND WE STILL HAVE THIS ALPHA 250 SITE OUT THERE THAT'S FLOATING AROUND. SO THESE ARE ALL ELEMENTS THAT TO ME ONLY HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM REFORM TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THIS ON A ON A LONG TERM BASIS. PART OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE DO THIS AND YOU TWO TO HELP INITIATE THIS STUDY AND TO LOOK AT REFORMING A A SOLID WASTE DISTRICT IS THAT IT WOULD CALL FOR THE CREATION OF A WORKING GROUP AND A TECHNICAL GROUP. SO THOSE OBVIOUSLY IN THIS FORMATION STAGE WOULD ROUGHLY RESEMBLE WHAT WE HAD FOR A RESOURCE RECOVERY BOARD AND WHAT WE HAD FOR FOR A TECHNICAL ADVISORY GROUP THAT OBVIOUSLY THE DETAILS STILL NEED TO BE WORKED OUT WHICH AGAIN IS WHY I'LL REITERATE WHY I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE CITY TAMARACK TO BE AT THE TABLE ON THIS AND TO REALLY BE A DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THIS TO HELP ESTABLISH THE POLICIES AND TO HELP ESTABLISH WHAT THE SYSTEM IS GOING TO IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. AND AND OBVIOUSLY PART OF WHAT'S ON THE TABLE IS BOTH INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT DISTRICTS. THE STRONG RECOMMENDATION THROUGH THIS STUDY THAT AROSE OUT OF THE DISSOLUTION OF THE RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM IS STRONGLY FAVORING AN INDEPENDENT DISTRICT. AGAIN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL NEED TO BE BORNE OUT THROUGH THIS PROCESS. ALL RIGHT. AND SO THAT IS ALL I HAVE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION DON. HOW MANY OTHER CITIES ARE PARTICIPATING IN THIS STUDY. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE. GIVE ME GIVE ME JUST A SECOND TO COUNT. THIS IS GONNA BE THE NUMBER OF CITIES THAT HAVE EITHER APPROVED IT OR HAVE OR HAVE IT ON THEIR AGENDA. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT AS OF RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ELEVEN CITIES THAT HAVE THAT HAVE EITHER APPROVED IT OR LIKE US HAVE IT ON THE COMMISSION AGENDA. THAT REPRESENTS 59 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION. WE NEED 50 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IN ORDER FOR THIS TO MOVE FORWARD. SO AS OF RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE WE'LL BE MEETING IT BUT WE REALLY NEED THOSE ELEVEN CITIES THEN TWO TO APPROVE IT. CAN YOU BUSINESSES CITIES. YEAH ABSOLUTELY. SO SO FAR THAT'S FORT LAUDERDALE HALLANDALE BEACH. AND THOSE TWO BOTH HAD IT ON THEIR AGENDA FOR THE 20TH AND 21ST. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO VERIFY WHETHER THEY APPROVED IT BUT WE HAVE THE CITY OF HOLLYWOOD IS ON THE SCHEDULE THIS WEEK. LAUDERDALE LAKES LIGHTHOUSE POINT MARGATE NORTH LAUDERDALE PARKLAND POMPANO BEACH SEA RANCH LAKES AND TAMARA SO EVERYONE YOU MENTIONED BETWEEN HOLLYWOOD AND SEEING LAND SEA RANCH LAKES HAVE BEEN ON THE AGENDA OR HAVE IT FOR MAYBE A COUPLE OF THEM HAD THEIR MEETINGS BUT WE HAVEN'T VERIFIED IT PAST WE SO WE WON'T. WE CAN CONFIRM THAT CORRECT. THE ONLY ONES THAT I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT HAVE ACTUALLY PASSED IT AND SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY ARE MIRAMAR AND SUNRISE. THOSE ARE THE TWO THAT HAVE ACTUALLY PASSED IT AND SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY FOR ACTUAL APPROVAL AND WHAT'S CALLED SPRINGS DOING YOU KNOW FULL[00:45:01]
SPRINGS BAY. I'M SORRY. THEY ACTUALLY DID THEIR I HAVE A SEPARATE LIST OF THOSE THAT HAVE ACTUALLY ALREADY APPROVED. SORRY. LET ME LET ME REREAD THAT BECAUSE THAT'S THAT'S A BIGGER LIST. SO OBVIOUSLY BROWARD COUNTY IS ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED AND IT NEEDS OUR APPROVED CITY. SO COCONUT CREEK HOOPER CITY HALL SPRINGS DAVEY DEERFIELD BEACH HILLSBOROUGH BEACH LAUDERDALE LAKES WATER HILL MIRAMAR OAKLAND PARK PEMBROKE PARK PEMBROKE PINES PLANTATION AND SOUTHWEST RANCHES SUNRISE WEST PARK WESTERN AND WILTON MANORS ALL APPROVED. THOSE HAVE ALL ALREADY. SORRY ABOUT THAT CONFUSION. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CONTRACTS OR WASTE MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS AND CONTRACTS. HONESTLY IN MY OPINION THE TIMING IS GOOD IN THE SENSE THAT WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY AND I DON'T WE'LL BE COMING BEFORE YOU GUYS IN THE NEAR FUTURE BUT WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL THREE YEARS ON OUR ON OUR CONTRACT WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT WHICH WOULD PUT US HOPEFULLY HOST RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM. I MEAN OBVIOUSLY THERE'S SOME FORMATION THINGS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN BUT I THINK THAT WOULD PUT US RIGHT ON THE CUSP OF BEING BACK IN WITH THAT GROUP AND BEING BETTER ABLE TO TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT AS PART OF THE WHOLE. I MEAN EVEN THOUGH EVEN THOUGH ULTIMATELY THERE STILL WILL BE THE NEED FOR INDIVIDUAL CITIES TO GROW UP FOR FOR INDIVIDUAL LONG CONTRACTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT IT'S JUST HAVING THAT FOOTING OF BEING WITHIN WITHIN A GREATER COOPERATIVE. I THINK IT'S BENEFICIAL. SO WOULD THERE BE. SO DO YOU FORESEE A FUTURE WHERE MULTIPLE CITIES OR ONE CONTRACTOR WHEN THIS WASTE MANAGEMENT ANOTHER COMPANY AND ALL OF BROWARD COUNTY OR ALL THE CITIES AS PART OF THIS COOPERATIVE FROM THAT FROM THE PROCESSING SIDE ABSOLUTELY THE HAULING SIDE WILL STILL BE INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS WITH INDIVIDUAL CITIES FOR ALL OF THE TRASH. YES I GUESS BUT LIKE RIGHT NOW IN TODAY'S REALITY WHAT WE HAVE IS THAT WE HAVE A NUMBER OF CONTRACTS THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PIGGYBACK ON BUT THEY'RE BEING DONE BUT THEY'RE BEING DONE INDEPENDENTLY AND SO AND WE'RE NOT SEEING A HIGH TO HIGH DEGREE OF COMPETITION BETWEEN THOSE AND WHAT WE SAW IN THE LAST ROUND OF CONTRACTS WAS REALLY GENERALLY ONE COMPANY BIDDING ON EVERYTHING. AND AND SO AGAIN IT'S REALLY HARD TO DO THAT WHEN YOU'VE GOT WHEN YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO SORT OF PROMISE HAVING THE THE SOLID WASTE FROM THE ENTIRE COMPANY THAT WE HAD BEFORE THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN DO ABOUT THE LACK OF COMPETITION BUT THE BETTER THE BETTER COLLECTIVE VOICE WE HAVE THE MORE LIKELY IT IS TO BRING ADDITIONAL COMPETITION INTO THE MARKET. ALL RIGHT. THE STRENGTH THE NUMBERS WE FEEL THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME PLAYERS THAT AREN'T PARTICIPATING ABROAD RIGHT NOW BUT IF THERE WAS A CONTRACT LEFT FOR YOU KNOW BROWARD COUNTY AS FAR AS YOU KNOW PROCESSING ITSELF AND ALSO RECYCLING RECYCLING IS A HUGE QUESTION MARK OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. IT'S THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS STRUGGLING WITH IT AND WE FEEL THAT THE BEST SOLUTIONS WILL COME FROM LARGE GROUPS GETTING TOGETHER AND MAYBE COMMITTING TO SOMETHING WHERE A VENDOR WILL SAY OK I'VE GOT YOU KNOW A BIG MARKET HERE THAT'S COMMITTING TO ME AND THEY'RE GOING TO COMMIT TO ME FOR X NUMBER OF YEARS SO THAT THEY CAN YOU KNOW DO THE INVESTMENTS AND STUFF THAT ARE NEEDED TO PROPERLY RECYCLE THINGS. SO IT'S IT'S IT'S REALLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST BENEFITS WE FEEL OUT OF THIS.WE RE CREATING THIS GROUP IS RECYCLING SIDE FOR SURE. I MEAN KNOW GARBAGE WILL ALWAYS BE TAKEN CARE OF THAT'S YOU KNOW THAT'S A CASH BUSINESS. THE RECYCLING SIDE IS THE ONE WHERE WE STRUGGLE WHERE WE WANT TO BE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS BUT WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY TO RECYCLE WE WANT TO AT LEAST TRY AND MAKE IT REVENUE NEUTRAL. AND WE'RE STRUGGLING WITH THAT RIGHT NOW AND WE FEEL THAT THIS THIS GROUP IF THEY GOT TOGETHER MAY ASSIST US AND TURNING THAT AROUND TO A POINT WHERE WE CAN HOPEFULLY KEEP IT REVENUE NEUTRAL. FINALLY THE LAST BULLET SAID THAT THE SYSTEM WORKS NOW WE SUPPORT THEM MORE YOU PUSH ITS DRIVE TO TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN ITS DEVELOPMENT. WHAT DO YOU WANT. HOW DO YOU ENVISION THE ACTIVE ROLE WHAT WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE. I WOULD I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY THAT ON THE TECHNICAL AND BY THE TECHNICAL GROUP THAT WE WOULD HAVE STAFF DEDICATED TO TO WORKING THERE. WELL
[00:50:04]
I I I WAS THE ASSISTANT OR HEAD. I WAS I WAS AT THE AS WE RODE INTO THE SUNSET I WAS THE CHAIR. SO I. SO I HAD THE HONOR OF SHUTTING THE LIGHTS OFF. BUT I KNOW THAT FOR THE LAST FROM ABOUT 2010 TO 2013 I SERVED AS THE VICE CHAIR AND CHAIR OF THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY GROUP. AND SO I CERTAINLY RECOMMEND THAT WE PARTICIPATE IN THAT. THE WORKING GROUP YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY THERE'S GONNA BE SOME POLITICS INVOLVED AS FAR AS WHO'S INVOLVED IN THAT BUT I THINK THE YOU KNOW WE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE AT THE TABLE OR WE SHOULD HAVE OUR HANDS RAISED TO BE TO BE PART OF THAT. I ANTICIPATE THAT THE WORKING GROUP WILL LIKELY BE A LARGER MORE REPRESENTATIVE GROUP THAN WHATEVER THE RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM. WHEN THAT WAS IN PLACE THAT WAS A NINE MEMBER THE BOARD WAS MADE UP OF NINE MEMBERS THAT EVOLVED OVER TIME FROM 1986 TILL ROUGHLY 2000 10. IT WAS ACTUALLY IT WAS MADE OF ALTERNATING BETWEEN FOUR AND FIVE MEMBERS BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND CITY. SO SO THAT THE THAT THE MAJORITY FLIP FLOPPED EACH YEAR BETWEEN THOSE TWO. I THINK THERE WAS SOME IDEA OF EQUITY BUT AS WE GOT LATER IN THE SYSTEM WE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE UNINCORPORATED BROWARD COUNTY REPRESENTED SUCH A SMALL PART OF IT AND THE COUNTY HAD I WOULD SAY JUST UNFORTUNATE. YEAH DISPROPORTIONATE INFLUENCE. AND SO IT ACTUALLY CHANGED TO HAVING ONE COUNTY MEMBER AND THEN EVERYBODY ELSE WAS ALL MADE UP OF CITY MEMBERSHIP. AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THAT SUNSET IT WAS PEOPLE WERE FRUSTRATED WITH HOW YOU KNOW THAT THE ROLES OF THE CITIES WERE NOT SEEN AS EQUITABLE TO THE COUNTY. THEY HAD A DISPROPORTIONATE CONTROL. AND SO I I'M SURE AND THEY'RE YOU KNOW GOING INTO THIS AND THAT'S ONE OF THE HESITATIONS OF EVERYONE IS THAT WE DON'T WANT TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT THE COUNTY IS GOING TO CONTROL IT IS WE WANT TO CONTROL IT BY COMMITTEE AND REPRESENT THE CITIES THAT NEED TO BE REPRESENTED AND NOT HAVE SOMEBODY HAVE A DISPROPORTIONATE REPRESENTATION WHEN THEY DON'T REPRESENT. YOU KNOW I MEAN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE COUNTY BUT AS FAR AS ACTUAL POPULATION THEY THEY REALLY DON'T. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. AND YOU KNOW NO ONE IS SUFFERING FROM SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS. I KNOW THAT THAT WAS A LOT OF THE INITIAL DISCUSSIONS OF OF CREATING THIS THAT WAS ONE OF THE TREPIDATIONS OF A LOT OF CITIES THAT YOU KNOW THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THE OLD AND SO I THINK THAT'S OBVIOUSLY GONNA BE A MANTRA THAT'S GOING TO BE USED MOVING FORWARD THROUGH HERE AND THERE'S ACTUALLY. WHAT WAS IT.WAS IT PLANTATION OR PEMBROKE PINES THAT WASN'T ONE OF THE FEW CITIES THAT WERE NOT PART OF THE R THE. BUT I'VE ACTUALLY VOTED TO APPROVE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS MEMBER. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING. SO THEY OBVIOUSLY SEE THE VALUE IN THERE AND YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE AN EQUITABLE REPRESENTATION FOR THE CITIES AND REALLY BE FOR THE CITIES TO TO HOPEFULLY SOLVE SOME PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE FUTURE. I AGREE. AND I'LL SAY THAT I. MY OPINION IS THAT WE HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY. ONE OF THE CHAMPIONS ON THE ON THE BROWARD COUNTY SIDE IS COMMISSIONER FOR FOR A LARGE PORTION OF THE TIME THAT I WAS INVOLVED WITH THE RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEM. HE WAS A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE CITY OF HOLLYWOOD AND HE WAS A VERY ACTIVE OPPONENT FOR BOTH HIS CITY AND THE MUNICIPALITIES OF BROWARD COUNTY. SO EVEN THOUGH HE REPRESENTS THE COUNTY I THINK HE HAS A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE AND UNDERSTANDS BETTER THAN SOME OVER THERE IN WHAT A COLLABORATIVE ROLE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE CITIES. SO YOU KNOW PERSONALITIES MATTER. I THINK AT THIS POINT THAT REALLY IS THE THING THAT HONESTLY GAVE ME LESS PAUSE ABOUT THIS WAS SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE FACT OF HIM BEING INVOLVED IN AND HOW ACTIVE A ROLE THAT HE'S TAKING THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE MOVING ON TO TIER 1 3 2 9 1 CROWN CASTLE FIBER INTERNET
[4. TR13291 - Crown Castle Fiber Internet Service Renewal]
SERVICE RENEWAL AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIRECTOR LEVIN GOOD MORNING EVENTS. ALL RIGHT. HE'S RIGHT THERE. I DON'T MEAN TO RUN THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION AND BORE YOU WITH SOME OF THE TECHNICAL DETAILS BUT IF YOU'LL ALLOW ME JUST LET ME RUN THROUGH[00:55:04]
SOME OF THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF WHAT IT MEANS TO WORK WITH CASTLE VERSUS SOME OF THE OTHER CARRIERS. THAT QUESTION MAY COME UP. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF. SERVICE PROVIDERS INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT SPECIALTIES AND IN HOW TO CATEGORIZE OR RANK THESE DIFFERENT TIERS. AND WE WERE WORKING WITH CROWN CASTLE SINCE ABOUT 2013 IN CROWN CASTLE WHICH WAS FORMED AS IS FPL FIBER NET IN ITS ORIGINAL DAYS. IS IS A TIER 1 SERVICE PROVIDER WHILE THESE COMPANIES ARE ACTUALLY THE OWNERS OF INTERNET BACKBONE. AND SO WHEN WE HAVE CONNECTION TO ONE OF THESE TIER 1 SERVICE PROVIDERS WE'RE ACTUALLY DIRECTLY CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET ITSELF. IF THERE IS SUCH A THING BUT THE NUMBER OF OTHER CARRIERS THAT PROVIDE THEIR SERVICES BY RENTING OR LEASING SPACE FROM FROM THESE TIER 1 SERVICE PROVIDERS NETWORKS AND PROVIDE INTERNET SERVICE AT A MUCH LESSER SCALE OR SPEED OR ACCESS ABILITY. NEVERTHELESS THEY PROVIDE INTERNET SERVICE SO THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INTERNET SERVICE THAT YOU GET HOME AND YOU GET THAT BUSINESS.AND THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE TYPE OF INTERNET SERVICES YOU GET FROM A BUSINESS INTERNET VERSUS ENTERPRISE INTERNET SERVICE. AND YOU KNOW ALL OF THESE THINGS WE EXPERIENCE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCE IS. BUT INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS AT HOME. BUT SINCE 2013 I THINK WE REGISTERED TO OUTAGES BUT FPL BY NET OR CROWN OF CASTLE AS IT'S KNOWN TODAY DUE TO FIBER CUTS. AND SO IT'S AN EXTREME RELIABLE EXTREMELY RELIABLE SERVICE AND THAT'S WHAT OUR BUSINESS DEMAND AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN USING FOR THE LAST SO MANY YEARS. SO SOME OF THE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT I JUST MENTIONED. OBVIOUSLY FIBER INTERNET SERVICE IS SO MUCH MORE RELIABLE THAN THE OTHER TYPES OF SERVICE PROVIDERS. IT'S FASTER. IT'S MORE RELIABLE. IT'S. THERE'S THERE'S VERY LITTLE LATENCY WHICH MEANS A DELAY BETWEEN YOU KNOW THE WHEN YOU REQUEST SOMETHING TO DELIVER THAT BACK AND THAT BECOMES CRITICAL WHEN A LOT OF OUR APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES ARE MOVING INTO THE CLOUD SUCH AS OUR RESCUE SERVICES IN SOME OF OUR ENTERPRISE SERVICES IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I HAVE A SLIDE IN THERE FOR. SOME OF THE SERVICES THAT WE HAVE IN THE CLOUD RIGHT NOW. TODAY MYSELF OFFICE 365 WE MOVED THAT TO THE CLOUD THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND OUR ENTIRE EMAIL SYSTEM RESIDES THERE AND WE HAVE GOALS TO MOVE A LOT MORE OF OUR SERVICES TO THE CLOUD BUT TODAY SO FAR MORE POPULAR SYSTEMS LIKE OUR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY CLOUD BASED AND IT REQUIRES A LOT OF TIMES TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN OUR CUSTOMERS AND IN OUR SYSTEMS AND CITY REQUIRES HIGHLY RELIABLE FAST INTERNET SERVICE. ONLINE PAYMENTS IN A TIME OF CLOUD BASED SERVICES INCLUDING THE BEST ORE BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE THAT DRIVES OVER OUR EXISTING FIBER NET.
OR INTERNET SERVICE OR ON OUR NETWORK. GO OUT TO THE CLOUD AND IT'S STORED UP THERE IN EVIDENCE. SO. THE FUTURE IS GOING TO REQUIRE A WHOLE LOT MORE. INTERNET SERVICE AS WE MOVE. LIKE I SAID MORE OF OUR SERVICES TO DO TO THE CLOUD. THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THAT ARE SCHEDULED IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE TO MOVE TO THE CLOUD. AND THAT TREND IS GOING TO CONTINUE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. SO CROWN CASTLE LIKE I SAID IT'S A TIER 1 SERVICE PROVIDER. THERE'S A LOT OF. UNDERGROUND.
[01:00:08]
FIBER WITH FIBER NET OR CASTLE. SO IT'S BEEN EXTREMELY RELIABLE UNLESS WE HAD A YOU KNOW UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT OF FIBER CUT DUE TO SOME CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY. SO THIS IS OUR SERVICE HISTORY WITH CROWN CASTLE. WE START IN MARCH AND CONSISTENTLY IS OUR CLOUD APPLICATIONS INCREASE. WE HAD TO INCREASE THE SPEED OF OUR INTERNET SERVICE CONNECTION AND WITH THIS UPCOMING CLOUD BASED APPLICATIONS THAT WE'RE PLANNING TO IMPLEMENT WE ALSO NEED SOME ADDITIONAL IP ADDRESSES. SO THIS THIS WOULD BE THE THIRD RENEWAL OF THE PRESENT SERVICE BUT CASTLE AND THIS WOULD TAKE OUR INTERNET SPEEDS FROM 300 MEGABITS PER SECOND TO 1 GIGABIT PER SECOND WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT. BUT ALL THESE NEW APPLICATIONS ARE PRETTY SPEED HUNGRY. AND SO IT WILL BE UTILIZED AND MOST LIKELY BY THE END OF THOSE THREE YEARS WILL COME BACK FOR MORE OR HIGHER SPEEDS OR FOR THE TIME BEING THE COST OF THIS SERVICE IS ABOUT NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY DOLLARS PER MONTH AND IN THREE YEAR CONTRACT WOULD PUT THAT IN JUST A LITTLE OVER SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. THIS IS A GSA CONTRACT AND IT'S A FAIRLY COMPETITIVE NUMBER WHEN COMPARED TO SOME OF THE OTHER SERVICES AVAILABLE FROM COMCAST OR. FROM COMCAST OR ITSELF. RECENTLY SARASOTA COUNTY WENT THROUGH AN RFP PROCESS A COMPETITIVE PROCESS AND THIS WAS THE RATE FROM EARLIER THIS YEAR. I BELIEVE MARCH APRIL MAY FROM FROM THAT TIMEFRAME AND WE MANAGED SOUTHWEST INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES. THIS WAS THE MOST AFFORDABLE. OR APPROPRIATE SERVICE LEVEL FOR THEM. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RATE IT'S IT'S IT'S QUITE A BIT AS WELL BUT THAT'S THE THE MARKET FOR SUCH SERVICES. SO WE'RE HERE ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL TO GO FOR ANOTHER THREE YEARS. CASTLE THE HIGHEST BID ABOUT SEVEN THOUSAND OR THREE YEARS WE KEEP THIS UP AND DO IT. THIS IS NOT A REMOVAL BUT BROTHER. BUT A NEW CONTRACT. A NEW THREE YEAR COMMIT AND SO THE CROWN CASTLE IS THE SAME AS A FEMALE YOU SAY IT'S REBRANDING THEY WERE ACQUIRED BY CASTLE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND THEY CHANGED THE NAME FOR A FIVE MINUTE TO DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OTHER CITIES WORK WITH THE SAME ISP. I DON'T BUT BUT QUITE A FEW. CASTLE OR. THAT IS WHAT I KNOW IS THE THE PREFERRED SERVICE PROVIDER FOR MOST OF THESE CYBER TOWERS WHICH REQUIRE INTERNET SERVICE SO THEY'RE HIGHLY POPULAR. SEE NO OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND NOW WE'RE MOVING TO AND I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY HANDLE THIS. ONE[Items 5 - 7]
