BRC AS STRONG CORPORATION. SO, HAVE YOU READ IT? OKAY. SO WE'RE ADDING THAT TO OUR CHARITABLE ENTITIES LIST.CITY ATTORNEY. YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT THAT? THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. BASICALLY, WE ALREADY HAD A POLICY RELATING TO ESTABLISHING AWARDING KEYS TO THE CITY AND PROCLAMATIONS IN THE PROCESS THAT CITY OFFICIALS MUST FOLLOW. THERE WAS A NEW, OBVIOUSLY, AWARD CREATED BY THE COMMISSION RECENTLY CALLED TAMARAC MEDAL OF HONOR. SO WE CREATED A POLICY AND CRITERIA FOR RECEIVING THAT AWARD.
THE OLD POLICY THAT WE HAVE. OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
SO THAT PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR YOU KNOW FOR THOSE RECOGNITION PROGRAMS. AND THEN WE HAVE ITEMS FIVE C AND 5DR2 GRANT AGREEMENTS WITH THE FLORIDA, I MEAN, WITH THE BROWARD COUNTY CULTURAL DIVISION. THE FIRST ONE IS FOR $25,000 GRANT FOR TAMARAC UPCOMING YARD ON THE LAWN FESTIVAL. SO WE'RE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. WE'RE RECEIVING THAT $25,000 GRANT FROM BROWARD COUNTY CULTURAL DIVISION.
SIMILARLY, THE SECOND ITEM, 5.D, WILL RECEIVE A $10,000 GRANT FROM THE SAME BROWARD COUNTY CULTURAL DIVISION FOR THE CITY'S 4TH OF JULY ALL AMERICAN CELEBRATION. SO, I'M HAPPY AND APPRECIATING THAT.
AND THEN NEXT ITEM 5.E IS A RESOLUTION ON CITYWIDE ANTI-BULLYING AND ANTI-HATE POLICY.
TANYA, YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT THAT? YOU NEED TO TURN ON YOUR MICROPHONE, PLEASE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THIS ITEM.
DRAFT OF THE ANTI-BULLYING AND ANTI-HATE POLICY WAS REVIEWED AT THE JUNE 12TH COMMISSION WORKSHOP.
THE POLICY BACKS THE RESOLUTION BY LAYING OUT A CLEAR APPROACH FOR PREVENTION, EDUCATION, REPORTING AND SUPPORT FOLLOWING COMMISSION INPUT.
WE ADDED LANGUAGE TO REFLECT THE ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITIES IN TAMARACK AND BROAD COUNTY ETHICS CODES, REINFORCING A CULTURE OF RESPECT AND ETHICAL LEADERSHIP.
THE POLICY IS SCHEDULED TO GO BEFORE THE COMMISSION FOR CONSIDERATION, JUNE 25TH.
WONDERFUL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND THEN WE HAVE A RESOLUTION FOR THE REMAINING TWO
[00:05:05]
ELEMENTS OF THE CITY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES PROGRAM.AND SO WE HAD ALL BUT TWO ELEMENTS APPROVED IN THE IN THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS OF THE CITY COMMISSION AND SO THOSE TWO REMAINING PORTIONS WAS TABLED FOR, FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION.
AND NOW WE HAVE A DIRECTION FROM THE CITY COMMISSION.
SO WE HAVE OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATOR HERE.
KENNETH, DO YOU WANT TO GIVE US A QUICK PRESENTATION ON THOSE TWO ELEMENTS OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, THE COMMISSION JUST RECENTLY PROVIDED DIRECTION FOR SURE THING.
WOW. THIS IS A LOT LOUDER THAN I CAN PUSH IT A LITTLE BACK.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. AS CITY MANAGER MENTIONED, I'LL BE GOING OVER THOSE TWO ELEMENTS OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAMS. THE FIRST ONE BEING THE COMMERCIAL PLAZA RECOVERY PROGRAM.
THERE ARE SOME INCENTIVES FOR THEM UTILIZING LOCAL FIRMS AND DOING THOSE JOBS.
THAT'S UP TO UP TO $5,000. AND IF THEY UTILIZE 100% OF THEIR PROJECT COSTS WITH LOCAL FIRMS, THEY CAN REIMBURSE BE REIMBURSED UP TO 50% OF THEIR PROJECT COSTS, WHICH IS UP TO 10,000.
THERE'S ALSO AN ADDITIONAL GRANT THROUGH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR ESTHETIC PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE MADE, AND THEY CAN APPLY TO A SEPARATE APPLICATION THROUGH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
THE NEXT PROGRAM IS THE COMMERCIAL FACADE GRANT.
THIS IS A PROGRAM DESIGNED FOR PLAZA OWNERS LOOKING TO REALLY IMPROVE THE COMMERCIAL FACADE OF THEIR PROPERTY. THIS IS FOR SMALLER PLAZAS THAT ARE IN REALLY BAD SHAPE.
WE'RE HOPING WITH THIS GRANT THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE FUNDS AS A WAY TO IMPROVE THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS, MAKING IT AN ATTRACTIVE AREA FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND FOR THE BUSINESSES TO FLOURISH.
THIS IS A 50% REIMBURSABLE GRANT UP TO $250,000 MAX, WITH CONSTRUCTION STARTING WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF THE GRANT AGREEMENT AND TO BE FINISHED WITHIN 24 MONTHS OF THAT GRANT AGREEMENT.
AS A PART OF THIS PROGRAM, THE PROPERTY CANNOT BE SOLD FOR TWO YEARS AFTER RECEIVING THE GRANT FUNDS, AND IT MUST BE MAINTAINED FOR FIVE YEARS AS A CLAUSE IN THE IN THE GUIDELINES.
IF THE PROPERTY WERE TO BE SOLD AFTER THOSE TWO YEARS, THE BUYER COMING IN WOULD HAVE TO BE SUBJECT TO THOSE GUIDELINES AS WELL AS MAINTAINING THE PROPERTY AS A CONDITION OF THE SALE. IN TERMS OF SOME ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BE MADE APART FROM THE FACADE OR SOME PLACEMAKING DESIGN ELEMENTS, AND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THESE PLAZA OWNERS, WE DECIDED TO ADD INTO THIS PROGRAM AND INCLUDE PUBLIC ART DONATION AS OPTIONAL. SO IF THEY WANT TO CONTINUE TO ELEVATE THEIR PLACEMAKING AREA, THEY CAN WORK WITH THE CITY AND THE PUBLIC ART FUND TO HAVE SOME SORT OF INSTALLATION IN THERE, AS LONG AS THE OWNER AGREES TO MAINTAIN THE ART INSTALLATION.
SOME OF THE ELIGIBLE EXPENSES INCLUDE ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING, EXTERIOR DEMOLITION AND CONSTRUCTION, FACADE UPGRADES AND FINISHES, PARKING LOT AND LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS, REPLACEMENT OF THE EXTERIOR DOORS, WINDOWS AND AWNINGS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL WORK, AND MONUMENT AND TENANT SIGNAGE.
AGAIN, THIS IS FOR THESE PROPERTIES THAT ARE IN BAD SHAPE.
AND ONCE THEY COME TO US, THEY'LL BE REVIEWED.
THIS IS JUST A BREAKDOWN OF THE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS. AND BASICALLY THE LAYOUT. SO THE FIRST ONE IS A COMMERCIAL PLAZA RECOVERY PROGRAM.
IT'S DESIGNED TO BE SPLIT WITHIN THREE TIERS.
WE'LL WORK WITH THEM TO HELP REDUCE SOME OF THOSE VIOLATIONS, SOME OF THOSE FINES.
[00:10:02]
AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS FOR SMALL BUSINESS UTILIZATION.AND THE TIER THREE IS THAT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM THROUGH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
AND THEN THE COMMERCIAL FACADE GRANT IS THAT IT COVERS 50% OF ELIGIBLE CAPITAL EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS, UP TO 250,000. THIS IS A $3 MILLION BUDGET ALLOCATION, OF WHICH 100,000 WILL GO TO THE COMMERCIAL PLAZA RECOVERY PROGRAM, ALLOWING FOR TEN PLAZAS TO GET BACK INTO COMPLIANCE IF THEY WERE TO UTILIZE THAT FULL 10,000 REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE UTILIZATION OF SMALL BUSINESSES. THAT MEANS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SPEND 20,000 FOR EACH PROJECT, AND OF THAT, 20,000 TIMES TEN, THAT WOULD GIVE YOU THAT $200,000 TO SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE CITY OF TAMARACK.
AND THEN THE COMMERCIAL FACADE GRANT PROGRAM IS FOR PROJECTS WE'RE ESTIMATING AT $250,000 EACH, WITH A $1 MILLION ALLOCATION FOR THE COMPLETE COMMERCIAL FACADE GRANT PROGRAM.
THERE'S NO SMALL BUSINESS UTILIZATION REQUIREMENT, BUT THIS WILL COVER 50% OF ELIGIBLE CAPITAL EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS, WITH THE MAX AWARD UP TO 250,000. TWO OF THE PROGRAMS ARE SET TO LAUNCH ON FRIDAY, JUNE 27TH.
THE OTHER TWO PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING TODAY WILL BE LAUNCHED AT A LATER TIME.
EXCELLENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND ON THE REGULAR AGENDA UNDER ORDINANCES.
YES. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS OR SEGMENTS.
YES. CAN WE GIVE YOU THE MICROPHONE SO IT'S RECORDED? THE CONVERSATION YESTERDAY. I SAID, YOU HAVEN'T ASKED FOR ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC, AND I'M HERE BECAUSE I HAVE MANY QUESTIONS AND YOU'VE ALREADY RACED THROUGH SEVERAL ITEMS. PLEASE GO AHEAD. ALL RIGHT. MY FIRST QUESTION IS YOU HAVE 40 STUDENTS RECEIVING A SCHOLARSHIP.
HOW MUCH MONEY IS EACH STUDENT GETTING AND WHERE IS THAT MONEY COMING FROM? THOSE ARE $2,500 EACH. OKAY. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE HOW MUCH MONEY? 25 TIMES FOUR IS WHAT, 100 GRAND OR 10,000? NO, IT'S NOT MORE THAN 10,000.
WHAT IS IT, 100 GRAND. GOING TO SCHOLARSHIPS.
SO THIS THIS IS FOR PROVIDED BY A GRANT FROM WASTE MANAGEMENT, RIGHT? YEAH. SO THIS MONEY IS PROVIDED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT AS A GRANT THROUGH OUR CONTRACT.
AND SO THAT'S WHAT THE CITY COMMISSION IS. OKAY.
AND WHAT WAS THE CRITERIA FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP.
THERE WAS A NUMBER OF CRITERIA. MELISSA, YOU WANT TO SAY? YEAH. SO, EACH APPLICANT HAD TO BE A TAMARAC RESIDENT, AND THEY HAD TO SHOW THAT THEY WERE ENROLLED AND ACCEPTED INTO A SCHOOL, WHETHER IT BE A TWO YEAR OR FOUR YEAR TRADE SCHOOL.
SO THOSE WERE THE MAIN REQUIREMENTS. NOW, WHAT ABOUT ADULTS WHO WANTED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL? WERE THEY INCLUDED? YES, THEY WERE INCLUDED. SO THEY WERE INCLUDED IN THESE SCHOLARSHIPS? YES.
OKAY. AND IS THAT GOING TO BE DEFINED? WHEN YOU HAND OUT THE SCHOLARSHIPS, WHO GAVE THE AWARD AND HOW? WHAT THE CRITERIA WAS SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE GIVING SCHOLARSHIPS FOR AS OPPOSED TO JUST, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO GIVE A SCHOLARSHIP TO SOMEBODY WHO'S BRIGHT, WHO'S GOT MOTIVATION.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT SCHOLARSHIP GIVERS, NOT EACH ONE GIVING A WHOLE LONG DETAIL, BUT FOR THE COMMISSION TO PROVIDE THAT.
AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION IS IF WE'RE GOING TO GIVE 40 STUDENTS A SCHOLARSHIP TOMORROW NIGHT, THAT COULD TAKE WELL OVER AN HOUR. IT'S ACTUALLY 45 STUDENTS.
ONLY 40 OF THEM, MAYBE. DURING AT THE COMMISSION MEETING.
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GIVE HIM YOU KNOW, DISTRICT AT A TIME.
OKAY. WELL, MAYBE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO COUNT, BUT I ONLY COUNTED 40.
WOW. AND WERE THERE ANY ACADEMIC CRITERIA AGAIN? MISS PATRON HERE EXPLAINED THE CRITERIA. THE IDEA IS TO RECOGNIZE OR ENCOURAGE TAMARAC RESIDENTS FOR TRADES EDUCATION AND HIGHER EDUCATION. AND SO WE WANT TO OPEN THIS UP.
YES, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE A C-PLUS STUDENT AND AN A-PLUS STUDENT.
DO THEY BOTH GET THE SAME SCHOLARSHIP? RIGHT.
[00:15:03]
SO WE ONLY HAVE TO HAVE MOTIVATION. DID THEY HAVE TO WRITE AN ESSAY? AGAIN, THAT'S THE CRITERIA THE CITY COMMISSION ESTABLISHED.I'M NOT CLEAR ON THAT. WELL, I'M SORRY, CLARITY IS THAT CITY COMMISSION ESTABLISHED THAT CRITERIA FOR GRANTING THOSE SCHOLARSHIPS, AND I'M MISSING THE CRITERIA. THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT CLEAR ON.
AND I WAS LOOKING TO THE LADY TO PLEASE EXPLAIN AGAIN.
I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS THE SPECIFIC CRITERIA? YEAH, THE ONLY CRITERIA WAS A TAMARAC RESIDENT.
AND TO SHOW PROOF THAT YOU ARE ENROLLED IN THIS UPCOMING YEAR INTO A TWO YEAR, FOUR YEAR OR TRADE SCHOOL, AND IF THEY DROP OUT OF SCHOOL, DO THEY HAVE TO RETURN THE MONEY? WE HAVE NOT DISCUSSED THAT BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE THAT WE WOULD KNOW THAT.
WOW. OKAY. REMIND ME TO TELL ALL MY FRIENDS TO HAVE THEIR KIDS APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS.
YOU GUYS WILL BE PAYING THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS MORE.
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. ALL RIGHT, WELL, THAT WAS MY BIG QUESTION ON THAT ONE.
OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND THEN GOING BACK TO THE CITY'S REGULAR AGENDA, FIRST ORDINANCE IS
[7.a TO2580 -An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, amending Chapter 13, "Miscellaneous Offenses", of the City of Tamarac Code of Ordinances, by renaming and amending Section 13-6, titled "Reserved", to "Trespassing on City Private and Public Waterways" and adding content thereto; providing for enforcement and penalties; providing for codification; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]
THE SO-CALLED NO FISHING ORDINANCE. SO MISS CALLAWAY, YOU WANT TO PROVIDE A LITTLE INSIGHT INTO THAT? THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER. YES, THIS IS ON FIRST READING.THIS ORDINANCE WAS OH, YEAH. YEAH, WE DELIVERED A PRESENTATION ON THIS ITEM AT THE AT THE LAST RETREAT, OR I THINK WE CALLED IT THE QUARTERLY BUDGET.
THE COMMISSION WANTED US TO REMOVE IT OFF THE AGENDA, WHICH IS WHAT WE DID, AND THEN BRING IT BACK TO BE DISCUSSED, WHICH WE DID AT THE MOST RECENT FINANCIAL MEETING.
THIS ORDINANCE ADOPTS PEMBROKE PINES LANGUAGE WITH NO FISHING.
AND SO THE ORDINANCE INSTITUTES A SIGNAGE PROGRAM WITHIN 100FT OF A CANAL OR OFF THE PROPERTY.
AND IF INDIVIDUALS WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO TRESPASSING GOING ACROSS THEIR PROPERTY, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO ERECT A SIGN SAYING, SO IN ADDITION TO THAT THEN HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL BE TRESPASSING OVER THEIR PROPERTY TO ACCESS A CANAL. GREAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND THEN UNDER ORDINANCES SECOND READING, WE HAVE TWO ITEMS.
[8.a T02593 - An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, terminating "Zoning in Progress" by amending Chapter 10, Article 3, Section 10-3.2, entitled "Table of Allowed Uses," of the City of Tamarac Land Development Code; specifically, amending Table 10-3.1: Allowed Uses, to remove "funeral home" as a permitted use from the Mixed Use Neighborhood (MU-N), Mixed Use Corridor (MU-C), and Public Facilities (PF) zoning districts, while continuing to permit "funeral home" as a use type within the Business Park (BP) zoning district; providing for codification; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]
ONE IS WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THE LAST COMMISSION MEETING, WHICH IS THE THE ZONING ARRANGEMENTS FOR FOR FUNERAL HOMES IN THE CITY. I MEAN, THIS WAS ALREADY PRESENTED AND SHOWN, BUT JUST A QUICK REMINDER.ABSOLUTELY. MR. MANAGER, WE HAVE HAD INQUIRIES ON FUNERAL HOMES.
IT'S CURRENTLY PERMITTED IN FOUR ZONING DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY IN OUR MIXED USE OR PUBLIC FACILITY AND BUSINESS PARK, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT'S MOST APPROPRIATE TO JUST BE IN ONE ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH IS THE BUSINESS PARK.
SO THIS ORDINANCE ON SECOND READING LIFTS THE MORATORIUM AND ALLOWS FUNERAL HOME AS A PERMITTED USE ONLY IN THE BUSINESS PARK ZONING DISTRICT, AND IT REMOVES IT FROM THE OTHER THREE ZONING DISTRICT, THE MU AND THE MUCK AND THE PUBLIC FACILITIES AND ALLOWS IT ONLY IN THE BUSINESS PARK? THANK YOU. AND THEN THE NEXT ORDINANCE ON ON SECOND READING IS THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES SECTION
[8.b T02596 - An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, Amending Chapter 15 of the City of Tamarac Code of Ordinances, Entitled "Parks and Recreation," by Specifically Amending Section 15-88, Entitled "Alcoholic Beverages," to Allow for the Sale and Serving of Alcoholic Beverages for Consumption in City Parks and Facilities; Providing for Codification; Providing for Conflicts; Providing for Severability; and Providing for an Effective Date.]
OF THE OF THE CITY CODE. AND SO DO YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT THAT? I THINK WE MADE A FEW CHANGES. YEAH. THERE WAS A FEW CHANGES IN THE ORDINANCE.JUST REPLACING SOME WORDING AND ADDING SOME WORDING.
SO, YOU KNOW, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN CITY PARKS AND FACILITIES ARE STILL PROHIBITED. THAT HASN'T CHANGED. BUT WITH EXCEPTION TO WHAT'S PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, WHICH IS ADDED THAT ALCOHOL BEVERAGES MAY BE SOLD OR CONSUMED AT CITY PARK PROPERTY AND FACILITIES IN CONJUNCTION WITH A SPECIAL EVENT PROGRAM OR PERMITTED ACTIVITY, PROVIDED THAT THE EVENT ORGANIZER OR RESPONSIBLE PARTY OBTAINS PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM THE CITY MANAGER DESIGNEE AND COMPLIES WITH ALL APPLICABLE, APPLICABLE COMPETITIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, OBTAINING A VALID TEMPORARY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE LICENSE FROM THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AND TOBACCO, IF REQUIRED, SECURING APPROPRIATE GENERAL LIABILITY AND LIQUOR LIABILITY INSURANCE COVERAGE.
NAMING THE CITY OF TAMARAC AS ADDITIONAL INSURED IF DETERMINED BY THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE.
PROVIDING FOR SECURITY. CROWD CONTROL AND SANITATION MEASURES AS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY AND COMPLYING WITH ALL OTHER APPLICABLE CITY, COUNTY, AND STATE LAWS AND REGULATIONS. THANK YOU.
[00:20:02]
MELISSA. AND ONE OF THE. YEAH. THERE WAS SOME ADDITIONAL RESEARCH CONDUCTED.YES. I'M JUST GOING TO THINKING. YEAH, I'M JUST GOING TO DISCUSS THAT RIGHT NOW.
IN FACT, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS FROM THE CITY COMMISSION AND THE IN THE AUDIENCE WAS YOU KNOW THE EXPANSION OF THE SURVEY THAT WE CONDUCTED ON THE CITY'S THAT'S ALLOWING CONSUMPTION OF OR SALE AND CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL IN THEIR EVENTS.
AND SO THAT STUDY WAS CONDUCTED FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY.
AND OUT OF 31 CITIES, I BELIEVE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 2 OR 3 CITIES, ONE BEING A CITY OF TAMARAC.
TOTAL POPULATION OF WHAT HOW MANY PEOPLE? LAZY LAKES.
IT'S JUST A LAKE. VERY WELL, THEY HAVE WE REPRESENT THEM.
THEY HAVE 15 HOMES. OKAY. SO SO IT'S ENOUGH TO SAY THAT THAT YOU KNOW, ENTIRE COUNTY IS, IS AS THIS KIND OF ALLOWANCE IN THEIR CODE. SO THAT WAS THE THE RESULT OF THE SURVEY THAT WE CONDUCTED AND THAT IS THAT AND THEN UNDER QUASI JUDICIAL HEARING WE HAVE
[10.a TB095 - Board Order granting/denying Special Exception application for Champion 4x4 Tamarac, to allow for a vehicle service and repair, minor or "auto repair shop" in the MU-C (Mixed-Use Corridor) zoning district, pursuant to the Table of Allowed Uses, Section 10-3.2, Tamarac Code of Ordinances located on the southwest corner of W. Commercial Boulevard (N.W. 50th Street) and W. Prospect Road (see Aerial Photograph above and attached Location Map).]
YOU WANT TO DISCUSS THIS? MAXINE, THIS IS THE THIS IS THE PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE ON THE EAST SIDE OF TAMARACK.I BELIEVE THEY'RE CHANGING HANDS. YEAH. IT'S A SPECIAL EXCEPTION.
APPLICATION TO ALLOW FOR VEHICLE SERVICE AND REPAIR.
MINOR OR AUTO REPAIR SHOP IN A BAY ON NORTHWEST 50TH STREET AND WEST PROSPECT ROAD.
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN AUTO MECHANIC SHOP, BUT THE CODE REQUIRES THAT NEW OWNERS COME IN, AND WHEN THEY COME IN THAT A SPECIAL SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPLICATION BE FILED.
THE APPLICANT WILL BE AT WEDNESDAY'S MEETING AND WILL DELIVER A PRESENTATION.
GREAT. THANK YOU. AND THEN THE NEXT ONE IS THE VARIANCE APPLICATION FOR THE NEW SONNY'S CAR
[10.b TB094 - Board Order granting/denying Variance applications requesting relief from: • Section 10-4.10(E)(2)(a); Table 10-4.12: Facade Sign Standards, to allow for a maximum character "letter" & graphic "logo" height of forty-two inches (42") in lieu of the permitted maximum thirty-one inches (31") on the South Elevation. • Section 10-4.10(D)(3)(f)(i), to allow for two (2) facade signs per street frontage on the South Elevation in lieu of the permitted one (1) facade sign per street frontage to break up the large expanses of facade surface area on the South Elevation.]
WASH MANUFACTURING FACILITY. AND THEY'RE ASKING FOR VARIANTS ON THE SIGNS.IT'S SUCH A SIZABLE BUILDING, TOO, SO THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR A LITTLE LARGER SIGNS.
THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH, THEY'RE ASKING FOR THE SIGN LETTERS TO BE 42IN IN LIEU OF 31IN ON THE SOUTH ELEVATION, WHICH IS WHAT THE CODE REQUIRES. THEY'RE ALSO ASKING TO HAVE TWO FACADE SIGNS ON THEIR SOUTH ELEVATION, WHICH IS A HUGE BUILDING, AS THE MANAGER SAID.
[11.a Designation of voting delegate for the Florida League of Cities. Requested by City Clerk Kimberly Dillon]
AND CITY COMMISSION WILL DECIDE THAT DURING THE MEETING.AND THEN WE HAVE A PRESENTATION BY TANYA WILLIAMS, OUR GRANTS AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS ON THE CITY'S ZIP CODE BOUNDARY REVIEW. IN OUR JOURNEY ON THAT ONE.
AND SO THAT'S THE END OF THE AGENDA. SURE.
OKAY. DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER. BUT I'M CURIOUS WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS MEETING IS, BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALL THESE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND EXECUTIVES OF WHATEVER IN THEIR AREA, AND THEY COME TO THE COMMISSION MEETING.
OKAY. AT LEAST I'M ASSUMING THEY DO. WHY ARE YOU HAVING THIS? TO ME, IT SEEMS LIKE A COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME BECAUSE ALL THESE PEOPLE CAN EITHER READ ABOUT IT AND IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS, THEN LET THEM ASK IT AT THE COMMISSION MEETING LIKE THEY USED TO, INCLUDING THE COMMISSION.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS HOUR OR SO OF PRECIOUS EMPLOYEE TIME BEING SPENT LIKE THIS, RIGHT? AND SO THIS THIS MEETING IS CONDUCTED AT THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION.
THAT WAS THE DIRECTION. AND AND SO THIS WAS IN PREVIOUS TIMES CONDUCTED WITH THE ENTIRE CITY COMMISSION AS A WORKSHOP FOR THE UPCOMING COMMISSION MEETING TO DISCUSS THE THE AGENDA ITEMS IN DETAIL.
[00:25:02]
YES, BUT THE WORK AT THE WORKSHOPS, IF I MAY.AND SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO HEAR A LOT OF THE DETAILS AHEAD OF THE THE COMMISSION MEETING SO THAT THEY'RE BETTER PREPARED FOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS OR OTHER PERSPECTIVES FOR THE UPCOMING COMMISSION MEETING.
PARDON ME, SIR, BUT YOU GO THROUGH THROUGH THE AGENDA SO FAST, IT'S LIKE A SPEEDING TRAIN.
AND I'M NOT SURE ANYBODY HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS.
AND AT THE OLD WORKSHOPS, THE COMMISSIONERS USED TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS EVERYTHING.
HERE YOU'RE NOT GIVING THE COMMISSIONERS ANY OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
AND WHEN THIS WAS CREATED, BECAUSE I WAS AT THE COMMISSION MEETING WHEN COMMISSIONER PATTERSON, COMMISSIONER PATTERSON RECOMMENDED THIS, I DON'T RECOMMEND.
I DON'T RECALL HER RECOMMENDING THAT THE COMMISSIONERS COULDN'T SPEAK AND WORK OUT THEIR QUESTIONS SO THAT WHEN THEY GOT TO THE COMMISSION MEETING, THEY HAD A MUCH BETTER SENSE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
SO THE COMMISSION MEETING WOULDN'T TAKE NINE HOURS.
INSTEAD, HERE WE'VE GOT 20 MINUTES OF THE FLY BY NIGHT OVERVIEW WITHOUT ANY DETAIL AT ALL.
AND UNLESS A PERSON OUT HERE LIKE ME ASKS A QUESTION IF THE COMMISSION DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO READ IT, WE'RE AT A TREMENDOUS LOSS. AND AGAIN, I DON'T SEE THE PURPOSE OF THIS BECAUSE I DON'T SEE ANYBODY PARTICIPATING EXCEPT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THE PRESENTATION, AND I DON'T SEE ANY IN DEPTH OF ANYTHING.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE A QUESTION. OR WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I WANT TO KNOW THE PURPOSE OF THIS MEETING BECAUSE IT'S AN ABSOLUTE COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME.
RIGHT. THANK YOU. I EXPLAINED THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING.
THAT'S THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION. WELL, I WOULD HOPE AGAIN, IF THE COMMISSION DECIDES THAT WE SHOULD HOLD THIS MEETING IN ANY OTHER DIFFERENT FORMAT, WE WOULD DO SO. SO WELL.
HOW WOULD THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE IF YOU DON'T BRING IT TO THEIR ATTENTION? THANK YOU.
BUT THAT'S YOUR JOB, RIGHT? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO JUST IGNORE ME. WELL, WE HEARD YOU. WE GOT YOUR QUESTION AND WE HEARD YOUR COMMENTS, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
AND IF THERE'S NO OTHER FURTHER BUSINESS, THEN WE'RE GOING TO ADJOURN THE MEETING.
OKAY? MADAM CLERK. THANK YOU.
