THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

. YEAH.

I'M GOING TO SAY. YEAH.

I LIKE THAT. I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT CHANCE TO THANK YOU FOR THAT MOMENT.

CITY MANAGER.

THE REST OF YOUR REPORT.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. GOOD MORNING.

MAYOR. VICE MAYOR.

COMMISSIONERS. I WANTED TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THE CHECK PRESENTATION WITH STATE SENATOR ROSALYN OSGOOD AND REPRESENTATIVE DAN DALY HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED.

THAT APPROPRIATION CHECK WILL BE PRESENTED ON THE NOVEMBER 13TH CITY COMMISSION MEETING.

WE WANT TO INVITE TAMARAC RESIDENTS TO EXPLORE AND SUPPORT OUR LOCAL DINING SCENE.

CHOOSING TO DINE LOCALLY HELPS BOOST OUR ECONOMY IN OUR COMMUNITY'S GROWTH, CULTURE, AND WELL-BEING.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE GREAT NEW SPOTS TO CHECK OUT, ACTUALLY.

WE HAVE CULVERS BRAND NEW RESTAURANT SAVVY SLIDERS, BOTH ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

TAMARAC IS CURRENTLY THE ONLY CITY IN FLORIDA WITH A SAVVY SLIDERS LOCATION, SO PLEASE GO AHEAD AND ENJOY THEM.

AND HUNGRY JOE'S JUST RECENTLY OPENED ON UNIVERSITY DRIVE, ONE LAP ISLAND GRILL, ACROSS FROM THE TAMARAC COMMUNITY CENTER AND OUR FAVORITE, THE VIEW AT COLONY WEST.

SO, YOU KNOW, TAMARAC HAS A LOVELY RESTAURANT SCENE.

[00:50:01]

AND WE'RE ALSO PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE ADDITIONAL PROJECTS NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND COMING SOON.

THOSE ARE GOING TO BE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL.

PLEASE FOLLOW US, FOLLOW US.

AND WE'RE HOPING TO SEE YOU ALL IN ONE OF THESE CELEBRATIONS.

OR ALL OF THEM. THEY'RE ALWAYS FUN AND WELL PUT TOGETHER.

SO COME JOIN US.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT, MADAM MAYOR.

THANK YOU. WE NOW MOVE ON TO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, AND THE RULES FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ARE ABOVE.

[3. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION]

YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. IT'S YOUR THREE MINUTES ALONE.

WE DON'T SHARE THEM.

ANYTHING YOU SAY IS HAPPY.

WE GO THUMBS UP OR YAY! OR WE PUT OUR THUMBS DOWN.

WE GO IN ORDER, AND I WILL SAY THE FIRST PERSON AND THE NEXT PERSON ON DECK.

AND ANYONE WHO'S NOT SIGNED IN, WE CAN CALL UP AFTERWARDS.

AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, YOUR LOCATION FOR THE RECORD.

SO WE HAVE MARK GOGGIN FIRST AND THEN PATTY LYNN ON DECK.

DID YOU SIGN? GOOD MORNING. MARK GOGGIN FROM TAMARAC LAKE.

SOUTH AND EAST TAMARACK.

FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO THANK FIRE CHIEF MIKE AND HIS CREW.

AND FIRE PREVENTION.

FIRE PREVENTION.

AND WHAT THEY DO HAS BEEN VERY HARD TO MY HEART.

MY FATHER WAS A FIRE MARSHAL FOR 40 YEARS UP IN SALEM, MASS.

AND WAS VERY INVOLVED WITH THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK JOHN DOHERTY FOR THE YEARS HE'S GIVEN AND THE HELP HE'S GIVEN TO OUR COMMUNITIES OUT EAST, ESPECIALLY WHEN THREE OF US ARE TAMARACK ONE AND TWO.

TAMARACK LAKES, NORTH AND SOUTH, WENT THROUGH A BUYOUT BACK IN 2013 FROM THE RECKLESS FROM THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPER OF THE COMMUNITY.

JOHN WAS A BIG HELP IN DOING THAT.

ALSO THE SAVORY SLIDERS.

WE CAN SPEAK OF THAT ALTHOUGH IF YOU DO COME AND VISIT IT, DRIVE SLOW WHEN YOU LEAVE BECAUSE MOST OF THE CARS, WHEN THEY LEAVE IN THERE DO COME THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY TO GET BACK OUT TO COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

AND IT'S A LOT OF KIDS IN THAT AREA, SO DRIVE SLOW ON THAT ROAD.

THE OTHER THING IS I WANT TO KNOW HOW THE CITY IS RESPONDING.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW, FORT LAUDERDALE EXECUTIVE AIRPORT IS PROPOSING TO EXPAND THE RUNWAY.

THE EAST WEST RUNWAY, ANOTHER THOUSAND FEET.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH RIGHT NOW WITH ALL THE NOISE AND THE JETS AND THE FUEL THAT COME IN, WRECK OUR ROOFS, DIRTY THEM, GETS THE CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT OUT THERE WRITING CODE THINGS, VIOLATIONS.

THE MEETING THAT WAS HELD LAST WEEK WAS NOT REALLY A MEETING.

A COUPLE PEOPLE WENT TO IT.

THEY SAID ALL THAT WAS DONE.

THERE WERE TABLES.

PEOPLE WENT AND JUST LEFT QUESTIONS.

THEY DIDN'T GET ANSWERS OF WHAT WAS GOING ON.

SO WE NEED THE HELP OF THE CITY AND HOPEFULLY OUR DISTRICT COMMISSIONER TO DO SOME FIGHTING AGAINST THAT, BECAUSE A LONGER RUNWAY MEANS BIGGER JETS, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE HARMFUL TO THE NOISE AND STUFF THAT WE HAVE TO SUFFER OUT IN THE EAST END.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

APOLOGIES. WE HAVE PATTY LYNN ON COMING DOWN AND JAMES BANNER ON DECK.

THANK YOU. PATTY LYNN MARLON EIGHT.

I WANT TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT HE SAID AS FAR AS THE AIRPORT EXTENSION IS IS CRAZY.

THE BIGGER JETS AREN'T GOING TO MAKE THE NOISE.

THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE US A LOT OF CRAP ALL ON OUR ROOFS, THOUGH, AND THEY'VE ALREADY DECIDED WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO THERE.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO CLEAR WHAT BUSHES AND TREES AND STUFF THERE ARE ON THE ON THE WEST SIDE OF 31ST AVENUE TO HAVE A CLEAR SHOT.

IT'S IT'S GOING TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE TO US AND TO DISTRICT ONE AND DISTRICT TWO.

IT'S IT'S GOING TO BE A MESS.

I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT JOHN AND KEITH AND THEY'VE.

I REMEMBER WHEN THEY BOTH CAME HERE, THAT WAS REALLY.

IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE 23 YEARS HAVE GONE BY, JOHN, BUT THEY HAVE.

THIS IS WHAT MAKES OUR CITY GREAT.

THE PEOPLE THAT YOU HONORED EARLIER TODAY, AND ALL OF THEM ARE NICE, AND ALL OF THEM ARE CIVIL.

[00:55:05]

THEY DO THEIR DAMN JOBS.

NOW, IT WOULD BE VERY, VERY NICE IF WE HAD CIVILITY HERE, HERE AMONG OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS BECAUSE THE STUFF THAT'S GOING ON NEEDS TO STOP.

WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF AN ELECTION AND IT'S DISGUSTING ALREADY.

WHAT'S GOING ON? SIGNS ARE TWO BIG SIGNS ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE.

THERE'S SIGNS ALL OVER ON CITY PROPERTY.

YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT ALLOWED, IS IT? I MEAN, IF I DID IT, SOMEONE WOULD COME AND SAY SOMETHING TO ME.

JUST BECAUSE YOU MAY BE AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, YOU CAN'T BREAK THE LAW.

YOU CAN'T BREAK THE LAW.

AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET EXCITED, GO DOWN TO EARLY VOTING AND WATCH THE MADNESS THERE.

THERE'S NO CIVILITY.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM HERE WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THE THE NASTINESS.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, CALL A COP? BECAUSE, I MEAN, YOU'RE THE BOSSES OF BSO PEOPLE.

SO IT'S IT'S REALLY AN EMBARRASSMENT TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AT EARLY VOTING IN TAMARAC. CODE ENFORCEMENT.

I'M GLAD YOU HAVE A NEW LEADER.

NOT THAT I LOVE SCOTT, BUT THEY ARE DOING A GOOD JOB.

IT'S MUCH EASIER FOR ASSOCIATIONS TO LET THE CITY KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM, AND CODE ENFORCEMENT GETS IT AND THEY SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

PEOPLE ARE KIND OF RELUCTANT TO DO IT WHEN THE WHEN THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY ASKS, BUT WHEN CODE ENFORCEMENT ASKS, IT GETS DONE.

SO THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB AND I'M THANKFUL FOR THEM.

AND IT IS MAKING OUR COMMUNITY LOOK BETTER, WHICH IS WHAT WE WANT.

A NICE LOOK AND TAMARAC THE FLOWERS LOOK BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

I HAVE MR. BANNERS ON DECK, AND I BELIEVE THERE'S ANOTHER GENTLEMAN WHO WANTS TO SPEAK AFTERWARDS, AND ANYONE ELSE WILL GO FROM THERE.

HELLO. GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK TODAY.

I'M THE OWNER OF JAMES BANNER, OWNER OF BANNER YARD.

OUR REQUEST FOR A WASTE HAULING USE WAS UNFAIRLY DENIED ON OCTOBER 14TH.

GIVEN THE ABSENCE OF OUR DISTRICT COMMISSIONER.

AMONG OTHER CONCERNS, I WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK MAYOR GOMEZ OR VICE MAYOR WRIGHT IF YOU WOULD CONSIDER THEM A MOTION TO RECONSIDER YOUR VOTE ON CASE NUMBER TWO, Z 24.

JUST I'M NOT ASKING YOU GUYS TO VOTE, BUT IF YOU COULD RECONSIDER IT SO WE COULD WORK THROUGH THIS.

THANK YOU, MR. BANNER. IF YOU WOULD JUST PUT THE ADDRESS IN FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

THE ADDRESS OF THE PROPERTY 28, 90, 20 NORTHWEST 55TH.

NO, I KNOW THE ADDRESS, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE FRONT FOR PART FOR FOR A WHILE.

2890 NORTHWEST 55TH COURT.

TAMARAC FLORIDA, 33009.

THANK YOU. THAT WAS JUST FOR THE RECORD.

THIS IS A NONTRADITIONAL PROCESS.

FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT BE AWARE OF MOTIONS TO RECONSIDER NEED TO BE DONE WITHIN TEN DAYS OF A COMMISSION MEETING OR JUST BEFORE A COMMISSION MEETING, AND THEY CAN ONLY BE ASKED FOR ON THE DAIS TO BE DONE BY THE PREVAILING PARTY AT THE LAST MEETING ON OCTOBER 14TH.

THE PREVAILING PARTY, THE NOES, WERE VICE MAYOR WRIGHT AND MYSELF, AND THE YES WAS COMMISSIONER VILLALOBOS AND COMMISSIONER DANIEL. SO THIS IS A NONTRADITIONAL SITUATION BECAUSE DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS, WE TRADITIONALLY DON'T ACCEPT THESE KIND OF BACK AND FORTH AND THINGS.

AND IT WOULD BE UP TO MY COLLEAGUE IF HE WISHES TO MAKE ANY SO REQUEST.

OKAY. MAYOR, FOR CLARIFICATION ON THAT, ONE OF OUR MEMBERS WAS ABSENT.

AND WITHOUT BEING EXCUSED, WITHIN THE THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER.

JUST ALLOW EVERY MEMBER TO FAIRLY GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO THE APPLICANTS, WHETHER IT'S A HOMEOWNER OR A BUSINESS OWNER.

AND JUST VOTE THE SAME WAY YOU VOTE, BUT ALLOWING EVERY MEMBER TO VOTE.

SO IF I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, COMMISSIONER VILLALOBOS, BECAUSE SOMEBODY WASN'T HERE, DOES THAT MAKE IT THAT ANYBODY HAS AN UNFAIR PROCESS? IT'S NOT AN UNFAIR PROCESS IN THE RESPECT OF EVERY MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION KNOWS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE AT COMMISSION MEETINGS, AND IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO VOTE ON ITEMS. IF WE'RE NOT HERE, THEN OUR PRESENCE IS NOT HERE AND CITY BUSINESS MUST MOVE ON.

[01:00:06]

JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY WAS NOT PRESENT DOESN'T DISQUALIFY THE LEGAL PROCEDURE THAT WENT FORWARD.

SO, MAYOR, CITY ATTORNEY, GO AHEAD.

YES, OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS A22 VOTE BY OPERATION OF LAW AND MEANS OF DENIAL, AND THE PREVAILING SIDE IS THE ONE WHO VOTED NO.

AS WE DISCUSSED, THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER CAN BE MADE BY EITHER YOU OR THE VICE MAYOR IF YOU WANT TO RECONSIDER THE MATTER.

BUT THE RECONSIDERATION WILL ONLY TALK ABOUT BRINGING THAT ITEM BACK TO A FEW, BECAUSE THIS IS A ZONING MATTER.

SO YOU GOT TO HAVE NOTICE.

AND SO TODAY IT WOULD ONLY BE A RECONSIDERATION OF THE MATTER.

IT WOULDN'T BE THE VOTE ON THE SUBSTANCE OF THE MATTER.

SO IF ANY MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION IS NOT REALLY JUDGING VOTING YES OR NO ON THE MATTER, JUST ALLOWING THE APPLICANT ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK BEFORE THE COMMISSION WITH PROPER NOTICE.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE AN INTERVENING BECAUSE WE HAD A SHORTER TIME PERIOD BECAUSE OF THE HURRICANE.

CORRECT. WE NORMALLY WOULD HAVE HAD THIS AT OCTOBER 9TH.

PLEASE. WHATEVER. THE WEEK BEFORE WAS ON THAT WEDNESDAY.

SO WE'RE RUNNING UNDER A SHORTER TIME PERIOD FOR THE REASON FOR THE MOTION TO FOR CONSIDERATION.

FILING. CORRECT.

YES. BUT THE NEXT COMMISSION MEETING IS IS APPROPRIATE.

IT HAS TO BE THE NEXT COMMISSION MEETING.

RIGHT. BUT THE THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER NEEDS TO BE FILED OR REQUESTED WITHIN TEN DAYS OF THE LAST MEETING. THE THE FORMER, NOT THE LATTER.

THE FORMER OF THE TEN DAYS OR THE NEXT COMMISSION MEETING.

CORRECT. AND SINCE WE'RE AT THE NEXT COMMISSION MEETING, IT NEEDS TO BE MADE AS A REQUEST TODAY.

CORRECT? CORRECT.

OR THE TIME PERIOD EXPIRED.

ACTUALLY, WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BECAUSE THIS IS ALSO DID NOT MAKE THE TWO DAY NOTICE PROVISION.

RIGHT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A NOTICE PROVISION FOR TO GETTING ON THE AGENDA, THEY FIRST NEEDS TO BE A REQUEST TO GET THE MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION ON THIS AGENDA CORRECT.

AND IF IT PASSES, THEN IT NEEDS TO HAVE A MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION TO BE PUT ON.

THE NEXT AGENDA NEEDS TO BE HEARD.

AND THEN IF THAT PASSES, IT GOES.

THE ACTUAL MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION WILL GO ON THE NOVEMBER 13TH MEETING.

CORRECT? CORRECT.

OKAY. SO NOW THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS THE PROCESS, WITH THAT IN MIND, THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER CAN ONLY BE DONE ITSELF BY COMMISSIONER WRIGHT OR MYSELF, VICE MAYOR WRIGHT OR MYSELF.

THE MOTION TO HAVE IT ENTERTAINED FOR DISCUSSION CAN BE DONE BY ANY PERSON ON THE COMMISSION WITH A MOTION AND A SECOND.

IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT.

OKAY, ON THAT NOTE, I'M GOING TO ASK A FAVOR KEEPING THIS LIKE PUTTING A PIN IN IT FOR A MINUTE.

LET'S GO BACK TO THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO WISH TO HAVE THEIR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION COMMENTS HEARD IN CASE THEY HAVE TO LEAVE, AND WE CAN COME BACK TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE A MOTION TO BRING THE MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION TO THE TABLE AND THEN GO FROM THERE.

SO, SIR, THANK YOU.

AND THEN IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHED TO SPEAK TODAY? OKAY. THEN YOU WILL BE OUR LAST PUBLIC PARTICIPANT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS JOHN READ.

I'M AT 8181 NORTHWEST 66TH TERRACE, RIGHT HERE IN TAMARAC.

BEEN A RESIDENT FOR 15 YEARS.

I'M HERE TODAY AS BOTH A CONCERNED CITIZEN AND A PROUD MEMBER OF THE TAMARAC COMMUNITY.

I'M A HUSBAND, FATHER OF THREE, AND FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS BEEN A VOLUNTEER BASKETBALL COACH HERE WITH THE CITY.

AND NOT TO BRAG, BUT WE JUST HAD AN UNDEFEATED SEASON.

GO, LAKERS! COMMISSIONER! DANIEL, HER SON IS ON MY TEAM, BY THE WAY.

ALSO. WELL, MY COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT GOES BACK TO COLLEGE WHEN I CREATED A MUSIC TV SHOW ON COMMUNITY ACCESS TV AND IT CONTINUED WHILE LIVING IN NEW YORK CITY. I WAS WORKING IN THE BRONX ON THE MORNING OF SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001, WHEN THE TOWERS GOT HIT.

PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST SCARIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE.

SO SHORTLY AFTER, I CREATED A PROGRAM CALLED THE SCHOOL OUTREACH SUMMIT, AND IT WAS TO HELP STUDENTS DEAL WITH THE AFTERMATH OF SEPTEMBER 11TH WITH EFFECTIVE COUNSELING AND OUTREACH AND PARTNERSHIP WITH CELEBRITIES AND LOCAL RADIO STATIONS.

I ENDED UP WINNING OR RECEIVING THE ELLIS J.

[01:05:01]

I HAVE A 25 YEAR CAREER IN BROADCASTING AS AN ON AIR TALENT AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, LEADING SOME OF THE BIGGEST BRANDS IN AND SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT SUCH AS IHEARTRADIO.

I WAS THE VOICE OF 99 JAMZ SENIOR PRODUCER AT BET'S 106 AND PARK AND HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA.

I WAS A MEMBER OF THE PAUL AND YOUNG RON MORNING SHOW ON BIG 105.9, WHERE I RECEIVED THE NAME SHARP DRESSED JOHN.

MOST RECENTLY, HEAD OF VIDEO AND SOCIAL FOR MEADOWLARK MEDIA, HOME OF THE DAN LEBATARD SHOW.

IT'S A DRAFTKINGS PARTNER LED BY FORMER ESPN PRESIDENT JOHN SKIPPER.

NOW, I FULFILLED ALMOST EVERY DREAM I HAD AS A KID GROWING UP IN THE TREACHEROUS STREETS OF GARY, INDIANA, WHICH IS A SMALL TOWN OUTSIDE OF THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO. AND SOME PEOPLE KNOW IT AS THE BIRTHPLACE OF MICHAEL JACKSON.

NOW, DESPITE MY COMMITMENT TO THE CITY AND OUR YOUTH, I'VE ENCOUNTERED SOME FRUSTRATING ROADBLOCKS HERE WHILE TRYING TO START A FOOD TRUCK BUSINESS.

DUE TO THE CITY'S TIGHT RESTRICTIONS AND BAN ON FOOD TRUCKS IN CERTAIN AREAS.

NOW I'M INSPIRED BY ENTREPRENEUR AND ATLANTA NATIVE PINKY COLE.

SHE OPENED THE SLUTTY VEGAN FOOD TRUCK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018, AND IN JANUARY OF 2019, SHE OPENED HER FIRST BRICK AND MORTAR RESTAURANT IN THE WESTVIEW NEIGHBORHOOD OF ATLANTA IN 2023.

SLUTTY VEGAN HAS 11 LOCATIONS IN GEORGIA, NEW YORK CITY, BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, AND DALLAS.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE CITY OF ATLANTA IF THEY HAD ALL THESE RESTRICTIONS AND BANS ON FOOD TRUCKS IN THE CITY? THE SLUTTY VEGAN WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN POSSIBLE.

THIS COULD BE THE CASE FOR MYSELF, CHEF SHARP DRESSED.

IF YOU DON'T ALLOW ME TO DO BUSINESS HERE IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

NOW I'M DREAMING OF A BRICK AND MORTAR ONCE I BUILD A CUSTOMER FAN BASE AND ALSO MANY MULTIPLE LOCATIONS.

MR. SHARP, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PART IS NOW CLOSED.

UNORTHODOX TIME IS NOW HERE.

WAIT MAYBE WE CAN ALSO CONSIDER THIS AS PART OF THE AGENDA.

YOU KNOW, IN ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS PART.

BUT IN CONSENT AGENDA, WE ONLY DO CONSENT.

NO, NO. FOR THE ENTIRE AGENDA.

OKAY, SO AT THIS POINT, I USUALLY ASK THE CITY MANAGER FOR ANY ADDITIONAL DELETIONS IN OUR CONSENT AGENDA OR ON THE AGENDA. SO YOU WANT US TO DO THIS PART NOW? IS THERE ANYONE WHAT'S ON THE TABLE IS IF THERE IS A REQUEST TO DO A MOTION FOR DISCUSSION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THERE WOULD BE A MOTION FOR CONSIDERATION.

I HAVE COMMISSIONER BOLTON LIGHT LIT.

I THANK YOU, MAYOR.

SO I WOULD LOVE FOR VICE MAYOR WRIGHT TO IF YOU WOULD MAKE A MOTION.

I WAS NOT HERE.

I WOULD I WOULD LIKE FOR COMMISSIONER WRIGHT, VICE MAYOR WRIGHT, TO DO THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER AND GIVE THE COMMISSIONER BOLTON IF YOU WOULD PLEASE ME.

LET ME ADD, ALL WE ARE DOING NOW IS TO ADD IT TO THE AGENDA AS AN ADDITION.

WE JUST NEED A MOTION BY ANYONE WHO WANTS TO ADD IT TO THE AGENDA.

I NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND BY ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO ADD IT TO THE AGENDA.

SO MOVED. OKAY.

I'VE GOT COMMISSIONER DANIEL SECOND.

COMMISSIONER VILLALOBOS FOR THE MOTION AND A SECOND ON ADDING IT TO THE AGENDA.

NOW, IT COULD BE ADDED RIGHT AFTER CONSENT AGENDA.

AND I FEEL LIKE HE'S BEING PUNISHED.

AND IT BOTHERED ME, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

WHEN I WENT HOME, I EVEN SPOKE TO MAXINE.

WHAT COULD I DO? BUT SHE SAID I WASN'T ON THE WINNING SIDE.

RIGHT? I'M ASTHMATIC, GREW UP ASTHMATIC ALL MY LIFE.

COME TO FIND OUT, I LIVE CLOSE TO A CEMENT FACTORY.

AND ONCE WE MOVED TO AMERICA, I WAS WAY BETTER, RIGHT? SO I UNDERSTAND DUST AND GARBAGE CAN AND POLLUTION CAN CAUSE PEOPLE TO BE SICK.

HOWEVER, THERE'S NO WASTE HERE BECAUSE INITIALLY I WAS GOING AGAINST IT, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE RESIDENTS CAME UP.

BUT THERE'S NO WASTE.

THERE'RE NO PARTICLES, THERE'S NO EXCESS.

ONE OF THE PLATFORMS I RAN ON WAS TO BRING MORE BUSINESS.

AND ALSO YOU, VICE MAYOR, TO THE CITY.

AND IT SEEMED TO ME EVERY TIME A BUSINESS COME UP HERE, IT FAILS.

YOU FAIL IT.

THAT'S NOT RIGHT. YOU RAN ON THAT PLATFORM.

RIGHT, MAYOR? AND THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY.

NO, NO, THIS IS THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY.

I GOT TWO MINUTES. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY.

NO, TO GET A BUSINESS BACK IN HERE.

POINT OF ORDER. I'M SPEAKING ONE MINUTE.

SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE GUY TO GET IN HERE.

NONE OF THE RESIDENTS, ONCE IT WAS FOUND OUT THAT WE WEREN'T BREAKING ANY CODE.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE 500FT.

BUT BEFORE THAT, THEY HAD URINALS BEING STORED THERE.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AND GARBAGE.

THE GUY SPENT ALL THIS MONEY TO CLEAN IT UP, AND I'M ALL FOR CLEAN AIR.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, MISS DUGGAN, THE FLOOR IS YOURS.

GOOD MORNING. MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS AND CITY STAFF.

DANIELLE DURGAN, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES.

AND YOU ALREADY ADDRESSED.

THAT WILL BE GOING OVER ALL THE BENEFIT PROGRAMS IN ONE SINGLE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. SO WE'LL START WITH THE RENEWAL HISTORY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A BRIEF HISTORY.

THE CITY MOVED TO A PARTIALLY SELF-FUNDED PLAN STRUCTURE IN JANUARY 2013, AND AT THAT TIME WE MARKETED AND THEN CONTRACTED WITH CIGNA TO PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AND STOP LOSS INSURANCE AT AN INDIVIDUAL AND AGGREGATE CLAIM LEVELS.

CIGNA HAS SERVED AS A VALUED PARTNER IN THE CITY'S MISSION TO DELIVER HIGH QUALITY AND COST EFFECTIVE BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES.

SINCE THAT TIME, WE HAVE REGULARLY REVIEWED AND CONSISTENTLY RENEWED WITH CIGNA.

DUE TO THE OVERALL VALUE AND STABLE STABILITY OF THEIR PRODUCTS IN 2021 AND IN 2024, WE FULLY MARKETED ALL LINES OF CITY'S MEDICAL AND RELATED LINES OF COVERAGE TO EVALUATE AND ALTERNATIVES FOR ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAM.

SO FOR PLAN YEAR 2025, HERE ARE SOME KEY POINTS.

AFTER OUR REVIEW AND ANALYSIS.

WE RECOMMEND RENEWING WITH THE CITY'S CONTRACT WITH CIGNA TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES.

THE MARKETING RESULTED IN A RAY PASS ON ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES, WITH A TWO YEAR GUARANTEE AND A 3% CAP RATE ON YEAR THREE.

CIGNA WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE WELLNESS FUNDS WITH ADDITIONAL $10,000 CREDIT AND STOP LOSS RATES.

BOTH INDIVIDUAL AND AGGREGATE INCREASED BY 9%.

ROOF LIFE RATES REDUCED BY 17.7%.

DENTAL RATES DECREASED BY 10.4% AND SUPPLEMENTAL VISION RATES DECREASED BY 25%.

AGAIN TILL THE END OF THE YEAR OF 2026.

SO FOR THE PLAN DESIGN IN 2020, WE ESTABLISHED TWO DISTINCT MEDICAL PLAN OFFERINGS, ONE BEING THE OPEN ACCESS NETWORK ONLY HMO PLAN AND THE OTHER A LOWER COST, HIGH DEDUCTIBLE HEALTH PLAN WITH A HRA OR A HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNT.

OUR PLANS CONTINUE TO BE COMPETITIVE WITH THE MARKET AND GIVE OUR EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAMILIES CHOICES BASED ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL RISK TOLERANCE, AND THERE'S NO MATERIAL CHANGES RECOMMENDED FOR THESE PLAN DESIGNS.

SO FOR PREMIUM RATES FOR PLAN YEAR 2025 LOCKTON SERVICES, OUR BROKER PARTNER, ANTICIPATES A 19% INCREASE IN OVERALL PLAN COSTS FOR 2025 AS A RESULT OF 5% PREMIUM INCREASES RECOMMENDED TO EMPLOYEES IN THE OPEN ACCESS HMO PLAN, AND A 2% INCREASE IS RECOMMENDED TO EMPLOYEES IN THE HIGH DEDUCTIBLE HEALTH PLAN FOR 2025.

THE HMOS EMPLOYEE COST SHARE IS 10% FOR EMPLOYEE AND ONLY 20% FOR DEPENDENT TIERS.

THE HIGH DEDUCTIBLE PLAN EMPLOYEE COST SHARE IS 6% FOR EMPLOYEE ONLY AND 16% FOR THE DEPENDENT TIERS.

THE TABLE ON THIS SLIDE ILLUSTRATES THE MONTHLY PREMIUMS FOR BOTH PLANS, AND THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED ON THE RIGHT SHOWS THE CHANGES IN PER PAY PERIOD FOR THE EMPLOYEES.

OKAY, SO FOR THE HEALTH PLAN COSTS, WE HAVE NEGOTIATED WITH CIGNA TO TO PROVIDE STOP LOSS INSURANCE AT AN OVERALL PREMIUM INCREASE OF 9% FOR PLAN YEAR 2025 25.

AND THE ATTACHMENT POINTS WE ESTABLISHED WAS THAT 250,000 FOR SPECIFIC INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS AND 9.4 MILLION AT AN AGGREGATE LEVEL FOR PLAN YEAR 2025.

[01:20:02]

BEYOND THESE ATTACHMENT POINTS, THE CITY'S PLAN WILL BE FULLY REIMBURSED BY CIGNA.

SO OVERALL, TO SUMMARIZE THE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE AND STOP LOSS RENEWAL.

OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO RENEW OUR ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AND STOP LOSS WITH CIGNA EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST, 2025.

MEDICAL PHARMACY ADMINISTRATION RENEWS AT AN OVERALL 0% INCREASE WITH A 3% ESCALATOR IN 2026.

STOP LOSS RENEWS AT OVERALL 9% INCREASE, MAINTAINING THE CURRENT ATTACHMENT POINTS.

ANY EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IS A 0% RATE CHANGE.

FSA OR FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT 0% RATE CHANGE.

GROUP LIFE RATES DECREASED BY 0.7 PERCENT, AND THE WELLNESS FUNDS HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO A TOTAL OF $85,000 GIVEN BY CIGNA FOR WELLNESS INITIATIVES, AND CIGNA DECREASED THE DENTAL RATES WITH A BLENDED 10.4% DECREASE IN VISION BY DECREASING 25%. THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION, AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

PUBLIC COMMENTS IS NOW CLOSED.

THE CITY MANAGER, LEVENT ZULU CAPTAIN MARIAH COOPER ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY DISCUSSION? VICE MAYOR WRIGHT. CAPTAIN COOPER? I KNOW NO.

HOW'S IT GOING, CAPTAIN? QUICK QUESTION.

THE THE THE NEW OFFICERS.

WHAT IS THE PLAN THAT WE HAVE FOR THOSE OFFICERS?

[01:25:02]

COMMISSIONERS. THE PLAN FOR THE OFFICERS.

I'M GOING TO MEET WITH YOUR CITY MANAGER.

WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THE APPROPRIATE PLACEMENT OF THE OFFICERS.

PRIMARILY, THE OFFICERS ARE GOING TO BE ON ROAD PATROL.

ASSIGNED TO SPECIFIC, SPECIFIC SHIFTS.

AND DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF OFFICERS WE HAVE, WE DEFINITELY HAVE ROOM TO PLACE THEM IN SPECIALIZED UNITS.

OKAY. BECAUSE EVERY MONTH YOU GUYS SEND THE STAFFING REPORT, AND I SEE ON WEEKENDS, WE TEND TO HAVE WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY YOU EXPLAINED THAT, YOU KNOW, DURING THE WEEK IT'S SQUAD OFFICERS.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, THEY'RE AVAILABLE.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE GRAPH WE SEE MORE OFFICERS DURING DURING THE WEEKDAYS.

ON THE WEEKENDS, WE TEND TO HAVE A LOWER AMOUNT OF OFFICERS.

WOULD WE PUT MORE OF THESE OFFICERS TOWARDS THE WEEKEND SHIFT? SO IDEALLY, ONCE WE PLACE THEM ON A SHIFT, WE'RE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A HIGHER NUMBER OF OFFICERS ON THE WEEKENDS AS WELL AS DURING THE WEEKDAYS.

ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU'RE SPEAKING TO IS THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE AN EXECUTIVE STAFF, WE HAVE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS, CRIME SUPPRESSION, CRIME PREVENTION UNITS THAT WORK PRIMARILY MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

THAT'S WHY THE NUMBERS ARE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER DURING THE WEEKDAYS AS OPPOSED TO ON THE WEEKENDS.

HOWEVER, WE'RE STILL WITHIN THE MEANS OF THE CONTRACT, WHICH IS PROVIDING THE 20 OFFICERS AND THE 24 HOUR PERIOD.

OKAY. SO THESE NEW OFFICERS WILL TRY TO SHIFT AS MUCH OF THEM AS POSSIBLE TOWARDS THE WEEKEND SHIFT.

WE'RE GOING TO PLACE THEM APPROPRIATELY TO WHERE THEY WILL SATISFY ADDITIONAL OFFICERS ON THE WEEKEND.

YES. OKAY.

THOSE ARE JUST MY QUESTIONS BECAUSE I LOOKED AT THE STAFFING REPORT.

I LOOKED AT IT EVERY MONTH. AND I GO THROUGH THE DATA AND I SEE THAT THAT UP AND DOWN.

YOU'VE EXPLAINED IT TO ME, BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KIND OF HAVE MORE OFFICERS ON THOSE WEEKEND SHIFTS BECAUSE WE.

WHAT DAYS DO YOU THINK WE HAVE THE HIGHEST AMOUNT OF CALLS? IS IT TEND TO BE ON A WEEKEND OR WEEKDAYS? I HONESTLY, I DON'T HAVE THE STATS ON THAT.

I WOULDN'T WANT TO MISQUOTE YOU ON THAT.

SO I WOULD PREFER TO GET SOME STATISTICS STATISTICAL DATA BEFORE I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

OKAY. NO PROBLEM.

THANKS. YOU'RE WELCOME.

COMMISSIONER VILLALOBOS.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN COOPER.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF SCAM STUFF GOING ON.

ARE WE GOING TO DEDICATE SOME DETECTIVES TO THIS AS WELL? I KNOW YOU SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE PATROLS ON THE STREETS.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALSO ADDING OTHER DISCIPLINES IN.

YES. YES, CERTAINLY.

SO WE CURRENTLY HAVE A DETECTIVE DEDICATED TO SCAMS AND ELDERLY SCAMS. SO WE CERTAINLY WILL BE LOOKING AT ADDING AN ADDITIONAL DETECTIVE INTO OUR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION.

ALL RIGHT. AND THEN JUST FOR THE RECORD, FOR THE OUR RESIDENTS, OUR CRIME RATES.

HOW ARE WE? AND I DON'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.

HOW ARE WE IN COMPARISON TO OTHER CITIES? HOW ARE WE DOING OVERALL? ANNUALLY? QUARTERLY? WE ARE WE SHIFTING UP AND DOWN A LITTLE BIT? I MEAN, I KNOW SOME OF THE CRIME THAT HAPPENS IN OUR CITY IS NOT IS NOT JUST FROM OUR, OUR OWN RESIDENTS, BUT ALSO FROM, YOU KNOW, TRANSIENTS AND VISITORS FROM OTHER CITIES.

DO YOU THINK THAT TAMARAC IS SAFE FOR OUR RESIDENTS OVERALL? DO YOU THINK THAT THEY SHOULD FEEL SAFE OR.

THAT'S THAT'S A QUESTION THAT I GET A LOT IS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MUCH CRIME.

IT'S LIKE, NO, IT'S NOT.

YOU KNOW, THEY THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, HOW WOULD YOU ADDRESS THAT IF YOU WERE ASKED THAT QUESTION OR TOLD OR MADE THAT STATEMENT TO YOU? CERTAINLY. LET ME JUST PULL UP MY REPORT REAL QUICK.

I CAN ASSURE YOU, TAMARAC IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE SAFEST CITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY.

LET ME JUST GO. BASED ON THE CRIME CHAIN.

GIVE ME ONE SECOND, SIR. ALL RIGHT.

SO OVERALL CRIME HAS DECREASED BY 12.5% FROM YEAR TO DATE FROM JANUARY TO SEPTEMBER 30TH FOR THIS YEAR.

CURRENTLY OUR I'LL GIVE YOU A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF OUR AUTO THEFTS ARE SLIGHTLY UP.

A LITTLE BIT. HOWEVER, OUR LARCENY IS DOWN.

BURGLARIES ARE DOWN, BURGLARY CONVEYANCES ARE DOWN.

SO WE'RE DOING OVERALL REALLY, REALLY GOOD IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

SO, YOU KNOW, JUST TO YOUR QUESTION, I WOULD SAY THAT OVERALL, I DON'T HAVE A COMPARISON BETWEEN TAMARAC AND OTHER CITIES.

THAT'S TYPICALLY NOT WHAT I DO OR NOT WHAT MY ANALYST DOES.

WE CAN PROVIDE THAT FOR YOU IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO A MORE THOROUGH STUDY.

HOWEVER, FROM 20, LOOKING AT 2023 COMPARED TO 2024, YEAR TO DATE WE'RE DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY 12 OVER 12%.

THANK YOU. AND THAT'S WONDERFUL TO HEAR.

I'M GOING TO QUOTE YOU ON THAT WHEN I POST IT ON FACEBOOK.

SURE. NO WONDER THE CAPTAIN DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE CERTAIN THINGS DONE UNTIL.

ALL GOOD. IT'S ALL GOOD.

IT'S ALL GOOD. ACTUALLY, I WAS WITH SOME COMMUNITY LAST NIGHT.

I'LL WAIT TILL I'M RESET.

AND OF COURSE, THEIR CONCERN IS ABOUT SECURITY IN THE CITY AND THE SAFETY.

[01:30:03]

AND I APPRECIATE THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ASKED BY BOTH THE VICE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER VILLALOBOS.

BECAUSE FRAUD WAS ALSO ON MY MIND.

AND I THINK WE ALSO SHOULD HOPEFULLY BE HAVING MORE TRAFFIC COPS.

THE BIGGEST ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS WE HAVE IS PEOPLE SAY THEY DON'T SEE OUR PATROLS.

I KNOW SOME OF OUR CARS ARE SHADED SO YOU DON'T SEE THEM.

THE PURPOSE IS TO SOMETIMES NOT BE SEEN AND I KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH.

BUT ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TRAFFIC AND SPEEDERS.

SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN HAVE SOME MORE MOTOR PERSONNEL, BICYCLE COPS, WHICHEVER WAY YOU WANT TO CALL THEM.

I'M NOT TRYING TO BE OFFENSIVE TO ANYBODY.

I'M USED TO CALLING THEM MOTORMAN.

SO THAT IS ONE REQUEST ON BEHALF OF SEVERAL COMMUNITIES.

AND THEN MAYBE PEOPLE WILL STOP RACING THROUGH OUR CITY AND RACING THROUGH OUR COMMUNITIES IF THEY CONTINUE TO GET TICKETS.

AND MAYBE THAT WILL HELP SOME OF THE TRAFFIC THAT PEOPLE ARE UPSET WITH.

YEAH. AND IF YOU DON'T MIND, MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT.

SO, YOU KNOW, DURING THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, AS YOU ALL MAY HAVE THE THE MONTHLY REPORT BY NOW, IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER ALONE, WE OUR MOTORMAN'S CONDUCT WHAT I LIKE TO CALL BLITZES IS WHEN THEY GO OUT AND THEY HEAVILY ENFORCE TRAFFIC IN ADDITION AND AND ABOVE TO WHAT THEY NORMALLY DO ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS.

AND WITH THAT, OVER 255 CITATIONS WERE WRITTEN IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER ALONE.

SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I MET WITH MY MOTOR SERGEANT.

WE'VE HAD A TRANSITION IN MOTOR SERGEANTS.

ONE RETIRED, HAD A VERY 27 YEAR SUCCESSFUL CAREER WITH VSO.

HE'S RETIRED. SERGEANT JASON LUCIA HAS NOW TAKEN THE MOTOR TRAFFIC UNIT, AND HE'S BEEN DOING AN OUTSTANDING JOB SO FAR.

BUT FROM JANUARY, ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL SEPTEMBER, WE'VE BEEN CONSISTENTLY FOCUSING ON TRAFFIC.

I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT WHEN WE GET THE NEW STAFFING ASSIGNED TO TAMARAC, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO ADD THAT FOCUS AND CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, INCREASE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT.

I DO REALIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, TAMARAC, MUCH LIKE MANY OF OUR CITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY, HAVE AN INCREASE OF TRAFFIC VIOLATORS, AND WE'RE CERTAINLY DOING OUR PART TO TRY TO REDUCE THOSE NUMBERS. I APPRECIATE THOSE NUMBERS.

I'M GLAD I'M NOT ONE OF THEM FOR THIS MONTH AT LEAST.

SO THERE.

APPRECIATE THE REQUEST.

THEY HAVE SEEN IT. I'VE GOT ONE RESIDENT WHO SENDS ME A PHOTO EVERY TIME HE SEES THE COPS, AND HE'S VERY HAPPY.

BUT I HAVE SOME RESIDENTS THAT WOULD LIKE YOU TO GO A LITTLE BIT MORE EAST, DEAL WITH MAYBE THE INTERSECTION OF MAINLANDS AND COMMERCIAL AND DEALING WITH ALSO U-TURNS, ILLEGAL U-TURNS THAT ARE HAPPENING THERE, CAUSING SOME TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS THAT ARE GOING ON THERE BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST STILL DO THE U-TURNS OVER THERE.

SO SOME OTHER TYPES OF TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS THAT ARE GOING ON AS WELL, IN ADDITION TO SPEEDING WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

AND WE'LL VOTE ON THIS NOW.

AND ALSO I AGREE WITH THE FRAUD.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF NEED FOR THAT.

COMMISSIONER VILLALOBOS. THIS IS A QUICK THING.

I KNOW WE DISCUSSED THIS ON DURING THE WORKSHOP.

I THINK IT WAS CAN YOU JUST FOR, JUST FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES EXPLAIN HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET THOSE IF OTHER CITIES AS WELL ARE NEEDING BSO OFFICERS, HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THOSE OFFICERS FIRST? AND IF THERE'S A TIMELINE AS TO WHEN WE GET THEM.

YEAH. SO ONCE ONCE THE REVISED CONTRACT IS SIGNED, IT GOES BACK OVER TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE FOR THE SHERIFF'S SIGNATURE.

IT THEN GETS FORWARDED OVER TO OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, BUDGET DIRECTOR.

EXCUSE ME. AND THEY GO THROUGH THE NUMBERS.

WE HAVE VERY TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATION WITH HER AND THE HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT, WHICH DOES OUR HIRING OF OUR BSO PERSONNEL.

AND FROM THAT POINT, THEN WE GO INTO INTO NEGOTIATING HOW FAST WE CAN ACQUIRE THE DEPUTIES, WHETHER IT BE NEW HIRE DEPUTIES OR TRANSFERS FROM OTHER DISTRICTS.

I KNOW IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A CHESS MOVE A LITTLE BIT, AND THERE'S A WHOLE ENTIRE PROCESS THAT I'M A LITTLE BIT AWARE OF, BUT NOT PRIVY TO ALL THE INFORMATION.

BUT NONETHELESS, I'M IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH MY MAJOR, THE HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR, THE BUDGET DIRECTOR, SO WE CAN ENSURE THAT WE GET THOSE DEPUTIES ASSIGNED TO TAMARAC AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL JOB YOU DO.

THANK YOU. VICE MAYOR.

CAPTAIN, QUICK! QUICK, QUICK! FOLLOW UP. SORRY. SPEEDING TICKET AS YOU'RE RUNNING AWAY TOO QUICKLY.

I'M GOING ON TO MATT'S POINT COMMERCIAL AND WOODLANDS BOULEVARD AS WELL, BETWEEN 7 A.M.

AND, LIKE, 830. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TRAFFIC KIND OF BLOCKED THE ENTRANCE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO KIND OF MITIGATE THAT.

ONE, RESIDENTS WHO WORKS IN A DIFFERENT CITY SAID, WE CAN PUT LIKE A BOARD, A DIGITAL BOARD THAT THAT RECOMMENDED LIKE, SAY, DO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTION.

BUT IN THE MORNING TIME, A LOT OF RESIDENTS COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT SPECIFIC AREA.

ALSO, I DO SEE THE UPTICK IN THE DATA FROM FROM APRIL 92ND TICKETS TO 255 IN SEPTEMBER.

SO OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS ARE DOING A IMPROVEMENT.

ALSO, WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE PERPETRATORS IN YOUR REPORT, A LOT OF THEM MIGHT SAY RESIDENTS FROM DIFFERENT CITIES WANT TO SEE A DIFFERENT CITY. DOES THAT MEAN THE PERPETRATOR ORIGINATED IN HOLLYWOOD OR NORTH LAUDERDALE?

[01:35:02]

IT'S USUALLY AT THE BACK OF THE REPORT, LIKE WE ALWAYS HAVE THE RESIDENTS NAME.

LIKE THERE'S MOST OF THE MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE MAJORITY ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT TAMARAC RESIDENTS.

AND JUST GIVE ME YOUR QUESTION AGAIN JUST SO I CAN KEEP UP WITH YOU.

I'M SORRY. YEAH.

SO IN A SIGNIFICANT ARRESTS WHEN IT SAYS RESIDENT, IT SAYS THE PERSON'S PLACE OF RESIDENCE.

DOES THAT MEAN THE INCIDENT ORIGINATED IN TAMARAC OR ORIGINATED IN A DIFFERENT CITY? THE ARREST LOCATION WOULD BE THE WHERE THE INCIDENT ORIGINATED FROM.

OKAY, BUT THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THE SUSPECT IS A TAMARAC RESIDENT.

I'D HAVE TO KIND OF GO, AND I DON'T HAVE IT UP RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME RIGHT NOW, BUT I HAVE TO GO A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO IT WAS JUST LIKE A CURIOSITY BECAUSE I SEE IT ALL THE TIME.

LIKE MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE NOT TAMARAC RESIDENTS, MOST OF THE ARRESTS THAT WE HAVE ARE THESE SIGNIFICANT ARRESTS AND THE MUG SHOTS.

YEAH, THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT TAMARAC RESIDENTS.

SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS TO KIND OF HOW I INTERPRET THE DATA, YOU KNOW, DO WE DO WE REGISTER THAT AS A TAMARAC CRIME IF IT ORIGINATES SOMEPLACE ELSE AND WE'RE JUST HELPING THE CITY APPREHEND SOMEONE? SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THAT'S SKEWING OUR CRIME STATISTICS.

WHAT PAGE ARE YOU REFERRING TO? COMMISSIONER THE SIGNIFICANT ARRESTS.

IT'S USUALLY AT THE BACK OF THE REPORT.

LIKE THIS SECTION WITH ALL THE MUG SHOTS.

IT'S USUALLY THE BACK OF THE REPORT THAT YOU SEE THAT'S GIVING YOU THE ARREST LOCATION.

SO IF THE LOCATION IS ON THERE, THAT'S WHERE THE SUSPECT IS ARRESTED AT.

I DON'T THINK THEIR PERSONAL ADDRESS IS ON THAT PAGE.

I'D HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK. I HAVE TO TAKE A GANDER AT IT REAL QUICK.

GIVE ME ONE SECOND. YEAH, GIVE ME ONE SECOND.

THAT WAS JUST A CURIOSITY.

NO, NO, WE CAN ALWAYS HAVE A MEETING TO DISCUSS THAT.

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A SIDEBAR CONVERSATION, I CAN THOROUGHLY GO OVER THAT.

THAT DATA IN DEPTH WITH YOU.

SO THAT WAY YOU CAN HAVE A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT IS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

AND THAT WAY THAT WILL HOPEFULLY REDUCE SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS IN THE FUTURE.

I JUST I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, UPPING OUR CRIME STATISTICS BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE A SAFE COMMUNITY.

YOU JUST MENTIONED IT AND YOU GUYS ARE DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB.

YOU KNOW, I KNOW IN A VERY POSH CITY, THEIR STATISTICS ARE KIND OF SKEWED SOMETIMES BECAUSE I HEARD I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TRUE, BUT THE BSO ACTUALLY CALLED THE PARENTS.

WELL, I'M NOT SURE ABOUT ANY OF THE CITIES, BUT.

OR ANY OTHER MUNICIPALITIES, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE WERE NOT SKEWING NUMBERS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO PRESENT SOMETHING THAT'S MORE FAVORABLE TO THE COMMUNITY.

IT IS WHAT IT IS. IF THE CRIME IS UP, THE CRIME IS UP, AND I WON'T I WON'T SUGARCOAT IT FOR YOU.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF WE HAVE AN INCREASE IN CRIME.

I'LL TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE AN INCREASE IN CRIME, AND I'LL DIRECT MY STAFF TO GO OUT AND MITIGATE THOSE CONCERNS AND AREAS, AND THAT WILL FOCUS MORE ATTENTION ON THOSE SPECIFIC AREAS. WHEN CRIME IS DOWN, THEN, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREATHER.

BUT JUST REMEMBER THAT CRIME DOES GO UP AND DOWN.

THERE'S THERE'S NO SPECIFIC THERE ARE TRENDS THAT WE FOLLOW, BUT THERE'S NO SPECIFIC RHYME OR REASON WHY CRIME DOES INCREASE.

OKAY. APPRECIATE THAT.

YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU.

DON'T RUN. SO ACTUALLY, WHAT THE VICE MAYOR BROUGHT UP WAS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN IN MY MIND.

I KNOW WE HAVE IT IN OTHER LOCATIONS, AND I KNOW WE HAD IT IN NEW YORK.

HOW DO WE GET A BLOCK? DON'T BLOCK THE BOX LIKE A BLOCK THE BOX.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS MORE ENGINEERING THAT WE CAN STILL JOHN DOHERTY WHILE YOU'RE STILL HERE, BUT DON'T GO TOO FAR AWAY.

SO WHILE JOHN DOHERTY IS COMING UP, I'LL ASK YOU THE NEXT QUESTION OR ASK.

YOU'VE HEARD FROM ONE OF OUR RESIDENTS, MR. GOGGIN, AND I'VE HEARD IT TO NORTHWEST 25TH TERRACE AND ALONG NORTHWEST 50TH STREET.

THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS GOING ON AROUND THERE, SO TAKE THAT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH AND PLEASE DEPLOY WHAT YOU CAN.

ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.

AND THEN I'LL ASK JOHN TO COME HELP US WITH BLOCK THE BOX.

AND IT MIGHT NOT ONLY BE AT THE AREA OF WOODLANDS AND COMMERCIAL, THERE'S PROBABLY A FEW OTHER HORRIBLE INTERSECTIONS WHERE PEOPLE DON'T MOVE THROUGH OR BLOCK.

RIGHT? FOR THE RECORD, JOHN DOHERTY, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES THERE ARE SPECIFIC PAVEMENT MARKINGS AND SIGNAGE THAT CAN BE INSTALLED, BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A FORMAL REQUEST TO BROWARD COUNTY TRAFFIC ENGINEERING AND OR FDOT BECAUSE IT'S THE FDOT RIGHT OF WAY, WHICH WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT THROUGH ENGINEERING.

SO HOW DO WE MAKE THAT REQUEST? IS IT THE COMMISSION HAS TO DO CONSENSUS? IS IT THE RESIDENT HAS TO MAKE A PETITION.

WHAT DO WE DO TO GET THAT STARTED? WE HAVE AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH BROWARD COUNTY TRAFFIC ENGINEERING, AND THOSE REQUESTS HAVE TO COME SPECIFICALLY FROM MYSELF OR THE CITY ENGINEER, WHICH IS MUSTAFA AL-BASSAM. SO I'LL ASK MUSTAFA TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.

THANK YOU. SEEING NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

CITY CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

COMMISSIONER DANIEL.

YES. VICE MAYOR WRIGHT.

YES. MAYOR.

GOMEZ. YES. COMMISSIONER.

BOLTON. YES. COMMISSIONER.

VILLALOBOS. YES.

THANK YOU. MOTION PASSES 5 TO 0.

THANK YOU. WE'RE NOW GOING TO ORDINANCES.

[6.a TO2568- An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, adopting the Second (2nd) Budget Amendment to the City of Tamarac Operating Budget, Revenues and Expenditures, the Capital Budget, and the Financial Policies for the Fiscal Year 2024. By increasing the total revenues and expenditures by a total of $5,431,393.00 as detailed in Attachment "A" attached hereto and summarized in Attachment "B" attached hereto and incorporated herein; providing that the 2nd amendment is being adopted in the same manner as the original budget and serves as the new adopted budget: providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]

CITY ATTORNEY, PLEASE READ THE TITLE FOR THE RECORD.

ITEM SIX A AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION AND CITY OF TAMARAC ADOPTING THE SECOND BUDGET AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

OPERATING BUDGET. REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES.

THE CAPITAL BUDGET. THE FINANCIAL POLICIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024, BY INCREASING THE TOTAL REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES BY A TOTAL AMOUNT OF 5,431,000

[01:40:03]

A SECOND AMENDMENT IS BEING ADOPTED IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE ORIGINAL BUDGET.

SERVE AS A NEW ADOPTED BUDGET.

PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS.

PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY. PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I'LL TAKE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

SO MOVED. SECOND.

I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BOLTON.

I HAVE A SECOND BY VICE MAYOR WRIGHT.

AS THIS IS A ORDINANCE ON FIRST READING, THERE IS NO COMMENTS.

CHRISTINE CAJUSTE, OUR FINANCIAL SERVICES DIRECTOR, AND JEFF STREETER, OUR BUDGETS MANAGER, WILL MAKE A PRESENTATION.

GOOD MORNING.

MAYOR. VICE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION FOR THE RECORD, JEFF STREETER, BUDGET MANAGER.

IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE IN TAMARAC.

YES IT IS. THE TEMPORARY ORDINANCE TWO FIVE, SIX, EIGHT IS THE SECOND BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024.

BUDGET AMENDMENTS ARE GOVERNED BY FLORIDA STATUTE 166 .241, SUBPARAGRAPH EIGHT, WHICH ALLOWS A MUNICIPALITY TO AMEND ITS BUDGET ANY TIME DURING THE FISCAL YEAR OR WITHIN 60 DAYS FOLLOWING THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

BUDGET AMENDMENTS ARE NOT AT ALL UNCOMMON.

IN FACT, SOME MUNICIPALITIES BRING A BUDGET AMENDMENT ONCE A MONTH, SOME BRING THEM QUARTERLY.

WE BRING YOU TWO BUDGET AMENDMENTS A YEAR, ONE IN APRIL AND ONE IN NOVEMBER.

THAT'S THAT'S THE CURRENT PRACTICE.

A BUDGET AMENDMENT MUST BE ADOPTED IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE ORIGINAL BUDGET, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN THE CHARTER.

AND WHAT THAT MEANS, BASICALLY IS IT HAS TO BE ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE AND THERE HAS TO BE A PUBLIC HEARING.

THE PURPOSE OF A BUDGET AMENDMENT IS TO INCREASE OR DECREASE A BUDGETED FUND, TO TRANSFER ALLOCATED RESOURCES BETWEEN FUNDS, OR BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS IN THE GENERAL FUND.

THE SECOND BUDGET AMENDMENT INCREASES THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET BY $5,431,393, FROM WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY A 2.09% INCREASE, AND THAT INCREASE IS FROM $259,423,949. PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ITEMS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 REPRESENT 21.78 OF THAT AMENDMENT, AND MISCELLANEOUS OR FINANCIAL HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS REPRESENTS 78.22% OF THE AMENDMENT.

THIS TABLE SHOWS YOU HOW THE BUDGET AMENDMENT IS DISTRIBUTED ACROSS MAJOR CATEGORIES OF FUNDS.

YOU'LL NOTE FROM THE CHANGE COLUMN THAT THERE IS NO CHANGE TO THE GENERAL FUND, AND THAT'S REALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY FROM THIS TABLE.

THE CHANGES ARE BEING MADE TO SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS, ENTERPRISE FUNDS AND INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS ONLY.

THESE ARE THE INDIVIDUAL ITEMS THAT MAKE UP THE BUDGET AMENDMENT RESOLUTION 2020 4-041, WHICH WAS FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS AND THE BUDGET.

THE ITEM AMOUNT IS $543,647, AND THE TOTAL AMENDMENT IS THE SAME.

THERE'S RESOLUTION 2020 4-086, WHICH WAS AN AGREEMENT WITH CONTI LLC FOR THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, HIGH SERVICE PUMPS, AND ELECTRIC UPGRADES IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.

THE ITEM AMOUNT ITSELF IS 319,601, BUT IT REQUIRES A TRANSFER.

YOU HAVE TO BUDGET FOR THE TRANSFER, SO THE TOTAL AMENDMENT IS $639,202.

THE NEXT ITEM IS A IS A HOUSEKEEPING ITEM REALLY FINANCIAL HOUSEKEEPING? IT'S APPROPRIATING THE FUNDING FOR TAMARAC VILLAGE PRINCIPAL NOT ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 ADOPTED BUDGET.

IT'S INCREASING PRINCIPAL BY $1,008,525.

THEN WE HAVE A WE'RE BALANCING THE COLONY WEST GOLF COURSE FUND, BECAUSE THE REVENUE AND EXPENSES WERE BOTH MORE THAN WHAT WAS BUDGETED FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024.

AND THAT INCREASES A MILLION TO BOTH REVENUES AND TO EXPENSES.

[01:45:02]

GREEN LEAF FILTER REHABILITATION PROJECT.

THE ITEM ITSELF IS $781,592.

AGAIN, THAT INVOLVES A TRANSFER.

SO YOU HAVE TO BUDGET BOTH THE TRANSFER AND THE ITEM FOR A TOTAL BUDGET AMENDMENT OF $1,563,184.

LASTLY, WE HAVE TO BALANCE THE HEALTH INSURANCE FUND BECAUSE HEALTHCARE CLAIMS CAME IN HIGHER THAN BUDGETED, AND WE'RE INCREASING THAT BY 676,835 $835.

AND THAT'S THE TOTAL BUDGET AMENDMENT IS THE SAME.

LASTLY, THERE WERE SOME PERSONNEL ADJUSTMENTS DURING FISCAL YEAR 2024 THAT OCCURRED AFTER THE FIRST BUDGET AMENDMENT.

AND THIS IS THERE WERE SEVERAL IN THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.

IT WAS ESSENTIALLY PART OF A LARGER REORGANIZATION.

THE FIRST CHANGE IN THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT WAS REINSTATEMENT OF THE CHIEF MECHANICAL INSPECTOR POSITION.

THE SECOND CHANGE WAS AN ADDITION OF ONE NEW STRUCTURAL INSPECTOR POSITION.

THE THIRD CHANGE WAS A RECLASSIFICATION OF TWO STRUCTURAL INSPECTOR POSITIONS TO ASSIST IN BUILDING OFFICIAL.

AND THE FOURTH CHANGE WAS THE RECLASSIFICATION OF ONE SENIOR PERMIT TECHNICIAN TO A PERMIT TECHNICIAN.

AND THERE'S NO THERE WAS NO BUDGETARY IMPACT FOR ANY OF THESE ADJUSTMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024.

IN THE PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT, WE HAD THE RECLASSIFICATION OF THE SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER POSITION BACK TO A PROJECT MANAGER, AND THERE WAS NO BUDGETARY IMPACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 FOR THIS CHANGE EITHER.

AND WITH THAT, CHRISTINE AND I ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THANK YOU.

SEEING NO QUESTIONS.

CITY CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

THANK YOU. MOTION PASSES 5 TO 0.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SEEING THAT THERE'S NO FURTHER BUSINESS, WE WILL SAY HAPPY HALLOWEEN, HAPPY DIWALI.

AND THEN, SINCE OUR NEXT MEETING IS AFTER VETERAN'S DAY, HAPPY VETERANS DAY.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYBODY ON VETERANS DAY AT OUR PARK AT 1030 IN THE MORNING.

OUR NEXT WORKSHOP WILL BE NOVEMBER 12TH, WHICH IS A TUESDAY AND 10:00 WORKSHOP.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. EVERYBODY.

BE SAFE. MAYOR.

YES, THIS CONCLUDES OUR MEETING, BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE OKAY, RIGHT? THIS CONCLUDES OUR MEETING.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMISSION, WE NOW GO AT 11:18.

WE'LL SEE EVERYBODY AT 11:30 FOR OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION.

WE WILL BE IN ROOM 105.

THANK YOU.
