Sep 08, 2025 Staff Agenda Review Workshop

[00:00:01]

WE'RE READY TO GO. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. IT'S MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2025, 10 A.M..

[1. City Manager's Opening Remarks]

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THEM. AND THIS IS A PUBLIC MEETING, SO IT'S OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE ITEMS. AND SO IF ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC HAVE COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, WE CAN ENTERTAIN THEM AS WE GO THROUGH THESE LINE ITEMS OR THESE AGENDA ITEMS. SO THE FIRST PART OF THE COMMISSION MEETING, WE HAVE SOME PROCLAMATIONS CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

[2. City Manager Report]

AND THEN INVESTMENT REPORT AND THEN PUBLIC PARTICIPATION COMMISSION REPORTS.

[5. Consent Agenda]

OH, THIS IS DATING BACK TO JUNE 30TH. OKAY. SO THAT'S THAT.

AND THEN ITEM 5.B IS THE RENEWAL OF THE LEASE FOR ONE OF THE CELL TOWERS AT THE CITY SPORTS COMPLEX.

THIS EXTENDS THE LEASE FOR ANOTHER 25 YEARS. JIM, WHAT'S THE CHANGE FROM THE OLD LEASE TO THE NEW LEASE? THAT IS CORRECT. SO THE CITY COMMISSION SIGNED AND APPROVED A 25 YEAR LEASE WITH BELLSOUTH MOBILITY ORIGINALLY BACK IN 1994, FOR PLACEMENT OF CELL TOWER AT THE SPORTS COMPLEX.

SINCE 94, THERE WERE TWO AMENDMENTS RELATING TO GENERATOR PLACEMENT AND ASSIGNING THE LEASE TO CROWN CASTLE LATER ON.

THAT LEASE EXPIRED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019, AND SINCE THEN CROWN CASTLE HAS CONTINUED ON AN ANNUAL RENEWAL BASIS, JUST MAKING ALL REQUIRED PAYMENTS UNDER PER THE TERMS OF THE LEASE. THEIR CURRENT RATE AS OF LAST YEAR WAS $31,385 AND CHANGE PER YEAR.

AND THEN LAST YEAR, CROWN CASTLE ASKED TO RENEGOTIATE.

THE PROPOSED NEW LEASE WILL AGAIN BE FOR UP TO 25 YEARS, COMMENCING ON SEPTEMBER 16TH OF 2024.

LAST YEAR, SETTING THE INITIAL LEASE AMOUNT AT $52,440 PER YEAR.

THAT'S 4370 PER MONTH. THAT REPRESENTS A 167% INCREASE IN LEASE PAYMENT, WITH ANNUAL INCREASES THEREAFTER OF 3% PER YEAR.

AND JUST TO NOTE THAT TYPICALLY LEASE PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN TRENDING DOWN TO THE COMPETITION FOR MICROCELL TOWERS.

BUT CLEARLY THIS IS AN EXAMPLE WHERE TAMARAC PAYMENTS ARE STILL HIGHER THAN THE TYPICAL OF OTHER CITIES IN SOUTH FLORIDA.

UNDERSTOOD. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND ITEM 5.C IS THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH DIGITECH FOR THE CITY'S EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE, EMS, BILLING SERVICES.

SO CHIEF ANNESE IS HERE? YEP. GOOD MORNING, CHIEF ANNESE.

TAMARAC FIRE, OBVIOUSLY WE'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS.

I HAVE CHIEF FRASHER HERE WHO CAN PROVIDE A BRIEF PRESENTATION ON IT.

CHIEF, YOU CAN COME UP. HE'LL GO OVER IT. IT'S A THREE YEAR CONTRACT WITH TWO, ONE YEAR AGREEMENTS TO FORWARD IT TO A TOTAL OF FIVE.

BUT HE CAN GIVE YOU THE OVERALL PRESENTATION NOW.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. FOR THE RECORD, JONATHAN FRASHER, DEPUTY FIRE CHIEF. IT START OFF BY GOING OVER A LITTLE BIT OF OUR AGENDA TODAY.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER SOME OF THE REVENUES, SOME OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED, THE PEMT AND MCO, WHICH IS ADDITIONAL SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDE FOR US, WHICH IS ADDITIONAL REVENUES.

WE GET SOME FROM THE GOVERNMENT, SOME FROM THE, IT'S ONE OF THE, THAT EVENT THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT WHERE YOU PUT MONEY UP FRONT.

INITIALLY, WE THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A RUSE, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY PROFITABLE FOR US.

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND THEN PASS THROUGH TRANSPORT FEES, SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WE ARE IN ARREARS FOR.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND DISCUSS SOME OF THOSE STUFF. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE GLAD TO TAKE THEM AT ANY TIME OR AT THE END. SO THIS IS JUST AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE GOTTEN FROM THEM AS FAR AS REVENUE FOR THE YEARS 22, 23, AND 24.

THE FEE THAT THEY CHARGE THE 4% PLUS AN ADDITIONAL $1,000 A MONTH, THE 4%, THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO CHARGE FOR MEDICAID.

SO THEY CHARGE THAT $1,000 A MONTH AS A PROCESSING FEE.

NOW, YOU LOOK AT THE ANTICIPATED PROJECTED RETURNS FOR 2025 IS $3,000,012.10.

SOME OF THE STUFF THAT, THEY WENT TO A SOFTWARE CALLED AMBULANCE COMMANDER, THEY DID THAT IN FEBRUARY OF 2024.

THAT HAS MADE THEIR REVENUE COLLECTION AND TRACKING MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE.

HOWEVER, WE STILL HAVE SOME. WE ARE AT THE MERCY OF THE PAYERS ON SOME OF IT, SO.

[00:05:03]

AND ONCE AGAIN, I'LL GO BACK AND THIS IS WHAT WE'VE COLLECTED. SO YOU LOOK AT 22.

WE LOOK AT A LITTLE OVER 2 MILLION. 23. 2.5. 24.

2.6. AND OBVIOUSLY, IT'S JUMPED QUITE A BIT SINCE WE'VE THEY'VE GONE TO THAT AMBULANCE COMMANDER.

AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS OUR PAID THE FEES THAT WE PAID THEM.

THIS IS THE OTHER AGENCIES WITHIN THE COUNTY THAT DIGITECH ALSO PROVIDES COLLECTION SERVICES FOR.

AND I USE THE WORD COLLECTIONS. I GOT TO GET AWAY FROM THAT AFTER TALKING TO MAXINE.

THAT'S WHAT THE FEES THAT THEY CHARGE THEM. I'LL HAVE TO NOTE THAT TAMARAC IS WE'VE NEGOTIATED ONE OF THE LOWEST FEES IN THE COUNTY.

WE'VE DONE THAT FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, AND WE CONTINUE TO KIND OF LEAD THE MARKET IN IT.

THE CONSORTIUM THROUGH THE BROWARD FIRE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT GOING TO A CONSOLIDATED FEE BECAUSE IF THEY PROVIDED IT FOR EVERY AGENCY IN THE COUNTY, WE THOUGHT WE CAN GET A LITTLE BIT OF A SMALLER FEE, BUT IF WE BLEND IT, THEY'RE GOING TO END UP BLENDING THE FEES THAT THEY CHARGE. AND IT'S STILL NOT GOING TO TOUCH AS LOW AS WE'RE PAYING. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE REVENUES. THIS IS THE TOTAL FEES THAT WE'VE GOTTEN AND INCLUDING PEMT AND MCO AND THAT'S THE REVENUE GENERATED FROM EACH ONE.

THIS IS JUST A, AND I'M IT'S HARD FOR ME TO SEE IT RIGHT HERE A COUPLE.

THIS IS A SCREENSHOT FROM THE AMBULANCE COMMANDER FROM FEBRUARY OF 24 TO THE END OF DECEMBER OF 24, JUST THOSE PERIOD OF MONTHS WITHOUT THE FULL YEAR.

JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT BASICALLY THEY'RE PAYING.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TERM COLLECTIONS UP THERE AND I MADE SURE TO DELVE INTO THIS.

THAT TERM IS NOT AN ACTUAL, THERE'S NOTHING IN COLLECTIONS FOR THEM.

THAT JUST MEANS THERE ARE 120 DAYS PAST DUE ON PAIN.

SO IT'S MORE OF, THE TERMINOLOGY SHOULD BE IN ARREARS.

AND GETTING INTO OUTSTANDING COLLECTIONS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT.

AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH MAXINE, WE PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA.

SINCE 2011 WE HAVE A LITTLE OVER $13 MILLION THAT WE HAVE UNPAID BILLS.

NOW, A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DECEASED.

A LOT OF THEM ARE, YOU KNOW, AND SOME OF THEM MAY BE OUT OF TOWN.

SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN DECEASED SINCE THE TRANSPORT OR THEY'RE IN A LIVING FACILITY.

NOW, ACCORDING TO FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 95, WE CAN ONLY GO BACK UP TO FIVE YEARS TO ANY SORT OF COLLECTIONS, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS CHOOSE TO DO.

[INAUDIBLE] I'M SORRY? [INAUDIBLE]. WHO'S ASKING IT? I THOUGHT I HAD, THOUGHT I HAD A QUESTION THERE.

AND IF WE WERE TO GO BACK, SINCE THE FIVE YEARS OF THE POTENTIAL COLLECTIONS WE HAVE SINCE 2019, WE HAVE 5,684,000. SO I LOOKED INTO POSSIBLE SCENARIOS.

IF WE WERE TO GO TO A THIRD PARTY COLLECTOR, AND OBVIOUSLY DIGITECH CANNOT DO IT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, BECAUSE THEY CHARGE US FOR A PROCESSING FEE AND THEY WOULD END UP CHARGING MORE FOR COLLECTION.

SO IT WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE A CONFLICT FOR THEM. SO THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF MOST OF WHAT THE EDITORS OUT THERE, AND I WENT AND GOT A LIST OF THEM ANYWAY, IN THE EVENT ANYBODY WANT TO DO THAT.

BUT TWO OF THEM, WE WOULD END UP PAYING SOMEBODY. WE JUST SELL THE DEBT OUTWARD FROM ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 14% OF THE FACE VALUE OF THE BET.

THEY WOULD PURCHASE IT, IT WOULD BE UP TO THEM.

THE SECOND ONE, WHICH WE WOULD CONTRACT WITH THEM AND WE WOULD, THEY WOULD CHARGE US 20 TO 50% TO RECOVER THAT DEBT.

SO ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S A QUESTION FOR, YOU KNOW, THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER? WELL, SOME CLARIFICATIONS. SO THE SERVICE THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING OR WE'RE RECOMMENDING FOR COMMISSION REVIEW AND APPROVAL OR CONSIDERATION IS FOR BUILDING SERVICES AND THE TERM COLLECTIONS IS PART OF THE BILLING PROCESS.

THEY BILL AND THEY RECEIVE PAYMENTS AND THEN WE CALL THEM COLLECTIONS, BUT THE CORRECT AND THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CONVERSATION, WHICH WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, IS NOT PART OF THIS ARRANGEMENT.

THAT WOULD BE A THIRD PARTY VENDOR DECIDED BY WHOEVER YOU ALL, YOU KNOW, WOULD GO OUT TO RFP, SO. RIGHT. THAT IS NOT, COLLECTIONS IS NOT WHAT DIGITECH DOES.

THE TERM WAS USED INTERCHANGEABLY. AND I THINK WE'VE CLARIFIED THAT.

RIGHT. AND SO THAT SERVICE OR THAT CONVERSATION IS JUST PROVIDED AS AN ADDED, YOU KNOW, ELEMENT INTO THIS, BUT IT'S NOT PART OF THIS. IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT.

IT'S NOT WHAT THEY DO. THEY WILL WORK WITH ANY THIRD PARTY THAT THE CITY, IF THEY SO CHOOSE TO SELECT, THEY WILL WORK WITH THEM. ALRIGHT. OKAY. SO SEPARATE, RIGHT.

AND THE, THIS CONTRACT IS BASED ON IT'S COMPETITIVE AND OTHER COMPETITIVE PRODUCT OR ANOTHER

[00:10:05]

FERNANDINO BEACH. YEAH. MOST OF THE AGENCIES ALREADY WITHIN THE COUNTY HAVE UTILIZED THEM.

AND LIKE I SAID, THE CONSORTIUM THROUGH THE BROWARD FIRE CHIEFS, THE INTENT IS TO GRAVITATE TOWARDS A SOLE PROVIDER FOR THE IBMC IN THE COUNTY.

BUT AT THAT POINT, I BELIEVE THEY WOULD COME IN WITH A BLENDED RATE BECAUSE SOME ARE PAYING HIGHER, SOME VERY, VERY FEW OF US ARE PAYING THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE PAYING.

SO IF THAT WAS TO HAPPEN AT THAT POINT, IT MIGHT BE A HIGHER RATE.

SO WE WANTED TO LOCK IT UP AT A LOWER RATE THAN WE CURRENTLY HAVE BEFORE THAT WAS TO TRANSPIRE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. LEVENT. WHO'S BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE PRESENTATION SHOWED ABOUT 5 MILLION POTENTIAL COLLECTIBLE. WHO'S GOING TO MONITOR GOING FORWARD THE AMOUNT OF ARRAYS OR POTENTIAL TO KEEP THAT AMOUNT? WHO'S GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING? SO HANS, I THINK THAT'S A CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING TO THE COMMISSION IN, GAUGE THE COMMISSION'S INTEREST IN PURSUING THAT DEBT.

RIGHT NOW, THAT'S NOT BEING PURSUED. IT'S IN THE CITY'S BOOKS.

AND IT'S NOT THERE'S NO ACTION ON THAT? NO, THAT'S.

THE COLLECTION IS ONE PART, BUT THIS DEPTH SEEMS TO REOCCUR AS A REOCCURRING DEPTH DEPENDENT ON SERVICES.

THERE'S ONE THING WE WANTED TO POINT OUT. IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE, AMBULANCE COMMANDER, SINCE THEY'VE ENGAGED THIS AMBULANCE COMMANDER. SO SHOW THEM THAT THERE. THE COLLECTION IS WAY HIGHER THAN IT HAS BEEN IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

SO IF YOU LOOK FIVE YEARS. TERM COLLECTIONS. YEAH.

WELL, AND COLLECTIONS FOR THE POINT OF THIS CONVERSATION IS AN EXCESS PAYMENT OF 120 DAYS.

RIGHT. THEY'RE NOT IN COLLECTIONS. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT AND, YOU KNOW, ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE.

THIRD YELLOW. THIRD YELLOW ACROSS THERE, IT'S AT 1%.

SO BY DOING THIS AMBULANCE COMMANDER, THAT CONTINUOUS ROLL UP DEBT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS, APPEARS TO BE GOING AWAY BASED ON USING THIS.

SO THE YEARS GOING FORWARD WE SHOULD BE LESS, OBVIOUSLY WE'LL HAVE TO MONITOR THAT AND KEEP AN EYE ON IT TO OBVIOUSLY IT'S OUR BILLING.

SO WE'LL KEEP, YOU KNOW, TABS ON THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT GROWING.

THE PREVIOUS YEARS, THE FIVE YEARS THERE IS STILL THAT TO BE.

500,000, RIGHT? THAT'S THAT'S AVAILABLE. BUT IT DOES APPEAR AS THOUGH DIGITECH HAS FOUND TO SOLVE FOR THAT BY USING AMBULANCE COMMANDER AND CLOSING THAT LOOP.

AND SO YOU, SO IS THAT SAYING THAT A LOT OF THE BILLING ISSUES OR THE DEBT WAS OCCURRING BECAUSE OF THE INCORRECT CODING OF MEDICARE, MEDICAID OR OTHER INSURANCE? SOME OF THEM COULD BE, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE HAVE A WE HAVE A HOMELESS POPULATION.

WE TRANSPORT THEM, I WANT TO SAY DAILY, A MULTITUDE OF THEM, SOMETIMES A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY.

WE DON'T HAVE THE INNATE ABILITY, BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE, THOSE, THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE SICK.

SO WE IT ISN'T LIKE WE JUST SAY, NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL. WE TRANSPORT THEM.

THAT BILL IS NEVER GOING TO BE NEVER GOING TO BE SATISFIED.

UNLESS THEY HAVE THEIR OWN MEDICAID AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GO THAT TAKE THAT STEP, THEN OBVIOUSLY THEY WOULDN'T BE IN THE. SOME OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE PEOPLE THAT ARE DECEASED. SOME OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT OF THE OUT OF TOWN, OUT OF THE COUNTRY. THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT THAT IT'S INEVITABLE THAT WILL NOT BE SATISFIED. OKAY. THANK YOU. CHIEF. LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.

WE'RE GOING TO BE PURCHASING TWO VEHICLES FOR OUR STEAM BUILDING DEPARTMENT.

YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT OR. YES. GOOD MORNING.

FOR THE RECORD, TONY PALACIOS, BUILDING OFFICIAL WE'VE HAD SOME PROMOTIONS.

WE PROMOTED A COUPLE OF INDIVIDUALS FROM THE STRUCTURAL DISCIPLINE TO ASSISTANT BUILDING OFFICIALS, AND WE HAVE OPENINGS. WE JUST FILLED ONE OPENING FOR STRUCTURAL INSPECTOR, AND WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER ONE.

SEPTEMBER 29TH, WE'LL BE STARTING. SO WE NEED TO HAVE VEHICLES FOR THEM TO DO THEIR INSPECTIONS.

THE RESOLUTION. THESE ARE NEW POSITIONS, TONY? YES, SIR. OKAY. YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THEN 5.E WAS THE ITEM THAT WAS TABLED FROM THE LAST COMMISSION MEETING. THAT'S THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS BEING ALLOCATED FOR PERMIT APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL DETAILS. AND SO MR. PATRON, DO YOU WANT TO?

[00:15:07]

DUE TO THE RATE INCREASE OF THE DEPUTIES FOR OUR DAILY PARKS DETAIL, WHICH WE HAVE DAILY AND INCREASE OF OFFICERS THAT WE HAVE AT OUR EVENTS.

WE'VE EXPENDED THAT 107,000 AMOUNT BACK IN MAY 31ST.

THAT'S THE AMOUNT WE USUALLY HAVE BUDGETED FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS, BUT DUE TO THIS INCREASE, WE'RE ASKING FOR AN EXTRA $40,000 TO PAY THE BACK AMOUNT THAT WE OWE AND FOR THE NEXT MONTH UNTIL SEPTEMBER 31ST.

SO IN TERMS OF THIS ITEM, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO SATISFY OUR OUTSTANDING BILLING FROM BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE. BUT WITH THE NEW CHIEF'S ARRIVAL AND YOU KNOW, AS PART OF THIS, THIS CONVERSATION WE WILL REVIEW OUR USE OF, OF DETAILED SERVICES THAT PRACTICE THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR MANY YEARS IN THE CITY.

AND WE WILL REVIEW THAT PRACTICE AND SEE IF WE NEED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THAT.

BUT FOR THE TIME BEING, WE'RE GOING TO SATISFY OUR OUTSTANDING DEBT TO BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

AND NEXT ITEM IS THE DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE FOR THE COUNTY WEST GLADES COURSE AS AUTHORIZED BY THE CITY COMMISSION. SO OUR DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES. PUBLIC. OH, MELISSA. OKAY. YEAH.

SO THIS IS TO APPROVE AN EXECUTION OF TAX AUTHORIZATION FOR KIMLEY-HORN ASSOCIATES.

THEY WOULD BE THE FIRM TO PROVIDE ENGINEERING, DESIGN, PERMITTING, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION SERVICES FOR THE GLADES COURSE OF COLONY WEST GOLF COURSE. SO THAT'S A CONTRACT COURSE OF $483,000.

THE DESIGN PORTION IS COSTING $331,500. AND THE CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION, INCLUDING ENGINEERING SERVICES DURING CONSTRUCTION, WILL BE $151,500 WITH A 5% CONTINGENCY OF $24,150.

AND THIS IS DUE TO COMMUNITY FEEDBACK THROUGH SURVEYS AND MEETINGS TO RENOVATE THE GLADES COURSE.

THE LAST COMMISSION MEETING, WE APPROVED THE CHAMPS COURSE FOR RENOVATION OF IRRIGATION, AND THIS WILL BE A MORE EXTENSIVE ON THE GLADES COURSE.

MELISSA, DO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THIS IN TERMS OF I KNOW THIS IS DESIGN SERVICES, BUT IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, JUST THE GENERIC LIKE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING IS THERE ANY PRESENTATION THAT THAT CAN PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY A SENSE OF WHAT'S BEING PROVIDED? SERVICES ARE BEING PROVIDED.

YEAH. I MEAN, WE CAN PUT ONE TOGETHER. I DON'T HAVE ONE FOR TODAY. OKAY.

THANK YOU. AND THEN 5G IS A RESOLUTION. CITY ATTORNEY, DO YOU WANT TO.

YEAH, IT'S JUST MAINLY TO ENSURE THAT CHARITIES THAT ARE LISTED IN CITY CHARITY, APPROVED CHARITY LIST. IF AN ELECTED OFFICIAL WANTS TO FIND WAYS FOR THESE CHARITIES THAT THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE BROAD ETHICS CODE THAT'S BASICALLY PAST AND FUTURE SOLICITATION WILL BE, WILL COVER THIS RESOLUTION.

OKAY. STRAIGHTFORWARD. GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO ITEM 6.A IS A RESOLUTION TO SELECT

[6.a TR14318 - A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, approving the award of RFP No. 25-14R and authorizing the City Manager or designee to negotiate and execute an agreement between the City of Tamarac and ; for design-build of the Sabal Palm Park project in accordance with Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 25-14R; authorizing an expenditure from the appropriate accounts; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. ]

AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TWO PRESENTATIONS IN THE MORNING AND TWO PRESENTATIONS IN THE AFTERNOON.

WE HAVE A TOTAL OF FOUR VENDORS. AND THE CITY COMMISSION WILL HEAR THE PRESENTATIONS AND WILL PROVIDE A PREFERENCE AND A CHOICE AND THEN WE'LL MAKE OUR DECISIONS TO AWARD THE CONTRACT AND THEN FILL IN THE BLANKS FOR, FOR 6.A. TO BE ON WEDNESDAY'S COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA.

[00:20:05]

IT'S BEEN A PROJECT THAT'S BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

AND SO THIS IS THE RESULT OF THAT. AND IN THE ORDINANCES, FOR FIRST READING, WE HAVE ORDINANCE 7.A. DEPUTY CITY MANAGER. MAXINE, YOU WANT TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THAT? SURE. THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER. I'VE A BRIEF, BRIEF PRESENTATION.

YEAH. THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU. OKAY. YEAH. SO THIS ITEM WILL APPEAR ON WEDNESDAY'S AGENDA.

THIS IS JUST SOME BACKGROUND. WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING PARKING ISSUES SINCE 2022.

CAME FULL CIRCLE BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2024 WHEN WE MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE CODE, SPECIFICALLY EXTENDING THE RESTRICTION FOR ON STREET PARKING, WHICH WAS FROM 12 MIDNIGHT TO 6 A.M. INITIALLY WAS 2 A.M.

TO 6 A.M. WE EXTENDED IT FROM 12 MIDNIGHT TO 6 A.M.

AT THE JUNE PLANNING RETREAT MEETING, STRATEGIC PLANNING RETREAT MEETING, THE CITY COMMISSION HAD SOME DISCUSSION RELATIVE TO HOW WE HAD BEEN IMPLEMENTING THIS CHANGE AND DIRECTED US TO COME FORWARD WITH SOME NEW CHANGES TO THE ORDINANCE, WHICH I'LL DISCUSS LATER ON.

SO AT THE SEPTEMBER 25TH, 2024 MEETING, WE ADOPTED SOME CHANGES, WHICH IS WHAT WE ATTEMPTED TO IMPLEMENT, WHICH IS WHAT YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN.

SPECIFICALLY, EXTENDING THE PARKING FROM 2 A.M.

TO 6 A.M. TO 12 A.M. TO 6 A.M. WE INCLUDED AS WELL SOME NO PARKING AND DEDICATED BICYCLE LANES, BLOCKING DRIVEWAYS, AND SO ON. WE DID NOT MAKE TOO MANY CHANGES TO THE PARKING VIOLATION AND THE TICKETING PROCEDURE THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE CODE, AND WHAT THE STAFF IS IMPLEMENTING. AND THE SEPTEMBER MEETING, WE ADDED A PUBLIC EDUCATION PERIOD, WHICH STAFF SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN IMPLEMENTING, SPECIFICALLY THE ADDED HOURS FROM MIDNIGHT TO 2 A.M..

WE, THAT PUBLIC EDUCATION PERIOD ENDED MARCH 2025.

AT THE MEETING IN JUNE, THE CITY COMMISSION TALKED ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEING INVOLVED, WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE LOOKED AT AN ORDINANCE OR LEGISLATION THAT INCLUDED COMMUNITY INPUT AND INCLUDED THE COMMUNITY BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR WHETHER OR NOT ON STREET PARKING IS IMPLEMENTED IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

AND SO THESE ARE THE CHANGES THAT WE WERE DIRECTED TO MAKE BASED ON THE JUNE MEETING.

FOR SECTION 14-26 WE STRUCK THE 12 A.M. TO 6 A.M.

AND NOW ON STREET PARKING IS PERMITTED IN COMMUNITIES AND IT IS SUBJECT TO THE NEW ON STREET PARKING POLICY.

AND THEN THERE ARE CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS THAT WE'VE INCLUDED IN THE ORDINANCE. SPECIFICALLY, ONE EXCEPTION, A NEIGHBORHOOD AS DEFINED BY THE ON STREET PARKING POLICY ON THE DATE OF THIS ORDINANCE, WHICH ALREADY HAS PARKING RESTRICTIONS, AND THE POLICY HAS THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS INCLUDED.

AND WE'LL GO OVER THOSE IN JUST A MOMENT. A NEIGHBORHOOD AS DEFINED BY THE ON STREET PARKING POLICY, WHICH PRESENTS A CITY WITH A PETITION OF 55% OF ITS RESIDENTS VOTING FAVORABLY TO HAVE NO ON STREET PARKING IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND FINALLY ANY ONE OF 1 OR 2 A NEIGHBORHOOD IN SUBSECTIONS I AND II ABOVE MAY VOTE TO REINSTATE ON STREET PARKING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BY A PETITION OF 55% OF ITS RESIDENTS. ADDITIONALLY, WHAT IS UNDERLINED IN YELLOW, WE ADDED JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY IS AWARE THAT WE DO NOT WANT ANY PARKING THAT WOULD IMPEDE THE FREE FLOW OF TRAFFIC OR INTERFERE WITH THE PASSAGE OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES.

AND THIS LANGUAGE IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN OTHER COMMUNITIES WHERE ON STREET PARKING IS PERMISSIBLE.

WE HAVE MADE NO CHANGES TO THE VIOLATION AND THE TICKETING PROCEDURE.

AND IN YELLOW IN THE PUBLIC EDUCATION SECTION.

WE JUST MADE THE CHANGE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC IS AWARE THAT WE WILL BE COMMUNICATING.

THE CITY'S ON STREET PARKING POLICY. WE LEFT THE SIX MONTH EDUCATION PERIOD AND MADE REFERENCE TO THE CITY'S ON STREET PARKING POLICY, WHICH I'LL GO OVER SHORTLY. SO THIS IS ON STREET PARKING POLICY THAT IS MEANT TO IMPLEMENT THE CHANGES IN THE ORDINANCE.

AND SPECIFICALLY WANT TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE DEFINITION OF NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS DEFINED JUST TO MAKE SURE WE KNOW WHAT A NEIGHBORHOOD IS.

ON STREET PARKING IS ALSO DEFINED IN THE POLICY.

AND THEN THE POLICY INCLUDES THOSE COMMUNITY WHERE THE CITY IS ALREADY IMPLEMENTING A RESTRICTION ON STREET PARKING.

AND THOSE ARE MAINLAND 10. MAINLAND 7. MAINLAND 3.

MAINLAND 4. MAINLAND 1 AND 2. WESTWOOD, 6. BOULEVARDS OF TAMARAC.

[00:25:01]

AND WOODLANDS. AND SO, OF COURSE, THESE NEIGHBORHOODS CAN BE CHANGED BASED ON THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAVE WITH THE CITY COMMISSION ON WEDNESDAY.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE ON STREET PARKING POLICY.

HOW IT'S ADMINISTERED WILL BE ADMINISTERED THROUGH THE CODE COMPLIANCE DIVISION THROUGH THE PETITION PROCESS.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU. MAXINE. AND THEN WE HAVE, UNDER ORDINANCES SECOND READING, SECTION 8, WE HAVE ITEMS 8.A

[8.a TO2597 - An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, amending Chapter 10, Article 4 of the City of Tamarac Land Development Code, entitled “Development and Design Standards,” by revising Section 10-4.4, entitled “Landscaping and Tree Preservation,” to clarify and strengthen the city’s landscaping and tree preservation regulations, to enhance consistency in their interpretation, application, and enforcement, and to expand the purposes for which tree preservation trust funds may be used; providing for codification; providing for severability; providing for conflicts; and providing for an effective date. ]

SO I'LL PROVIDE A BRIEF EXPLANATION FOR THOSE ITEMS. MR. MANAGER. 8.A WAS HEARD ON FIRST READING AT THE LAST COMMISSION MEETING.

THERE WAS NO CHANGES. AND THIS IS MEANT TO JUST UPDATE THE LANDSCAPE AND TREE PRESERVATION CODE.

SPECIFICALLY, WE'RE MAKING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE TREE FUND TO ALLOW FOR THE USE OF THOSE FUNDS TO BE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.

AND WE'RE ADDING SOME DEFINITION AS WELL, JUST SOME CLEANUP ON THAT.

AND THERE'S NO CHANGES FROM FIRST READING. ITEM 8.B IS THE REQUIRED BY SENATE BILL 784.

[8.b TO2598 - An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, amending Chapter 10, Article 5 of the City of Tamarac Land Development Code, entitled “Development Review Procedures,” by amending Section 10-5.2, entitled “Summary Table of Development Review Procedures”, specifically Table 10-5.1 and Table 10-5.2, entitled “General Notice Requirements”; and amending Subsection 10- 5.4(J), entitled “Plat Approval,” to designate the City Manager or designee as the administrative authority for plat and replat submittals, and to revise plat approval procedures in compliance with Senate Bill 784, amending Section 177.071 Florida Statutes, as set forth in Exhibit “A”; providing for codification; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. ]

8.C. IS TO2601 ON SECOND READING. THERE'S NO CHANGES AS WELL.

[8.c TO2601 - An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida amending Chapter 10, Article 5 of the City of Tamarac Code of Ordinances, entitled “Administration”, by amending Section 10-5.3 entitled “Common Review Procedures” by specifically amending Section 10-5.3(C) entitled “Pre-Application Neighborhood Meeting” to require pre-application neighborhood meetings to be open to the public, and to require actual notice to owners of properties within a townhouse, condominium, or timeshare development; providing for codification; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. ]

THERE IS NO CHANGE TO THAT EITHER. GREAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

ITEM 8.D IS THE IS AN AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 2 OF ADMINISTRATION.

[8.d TO2603 - An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, amending the city’s Code of Ordinances by amending chapter 2 entitled “Administration”, article III entitled “Boards, Committees, Commissions”, by repealing in its entirety division 12 entitled “Privatization Committee”; providing for codification; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. ]

AND SO THIS WAS DISCUSSED IN THE FIRST READING.

AND NO CHANGES TO THIS EITHER. AND THIS WILL BE ON THE AGENDA WEDNESDAY AND.

PARDON ME. OH I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMETHING, BUT.

AND THEN NUMBER 9 IS A QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING.

[9.a TBO98 - Board Order approving/denying Special Exception application requesting approval for the construction and installation of a 14’ x 48’ digital billboard display fifty (50) feet in height, to be located west of the Sawgrass Expressway and north of Commercial Boulevard, on an undeveloped parcel of land zoned Recreation and owned by the City of Tamarac. ]

I WON'T GO TOO MUCH ON 9.A, SINCE THAT'S A SPECIAL EXCEPTION.

AND IT'S QUASI-JUDICIAL, AND THE APPLICANT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A PRESENTATION AT WEDNESDAY'S MEETING.

BUT ESSENTIALLY, THIS IS THE SAWGRASS BILLBOARD PROJECT.

THIS IS FOR A BILLBOARD. THE CITY'S FIRST BILLBOARD.

ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO WE DID AN UPDATE TO THE CODE THAT ALLOWS BILLBOARD A SPECIAL EXCEPTION.

PRIOR TO THAT, BILLBOARD WAS PROHIBITED IN THE CITY.

THE CHANGE THAT WE MADE TWO YEARS AGO ALLOWED BILLBOARDS ONLY ON CITY'S RIGHT OF WAY, AND WOULD ESSENTIALLY ALLOW IT IN ONLY TWO PLACES IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

AND SO THIS APPLICANT IS SEEKING APPROVAL FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR THIS TO BE OFF OF THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY.

SPECIFICALLY, THE APPLICANT IS 3N OUTDOOR MEDIA LLC, MICHAEL GRAY.

AND THIS WOULD BE RIGHT WHERE YOU SEE THE STAR OFF OF THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY.

THE LICENSE AREA THAT THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR IS ABOUT 1248FT², IS 52FT BY 24FT.

THE SIGN WILL BE SET BACK 92FT FROM THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY AND WILL BE 50FT IN HEIGHT AND WILL BE DOUBLE SIDED DISPLAY.

EACH SIDE WOULD BE 14FT BY 48FT. THAT'S THE SIZE OF THE PANELS.

AND THIS IS A SURVEY JUST SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE LICENSE AREA.

SO THE LICENSE CONVEY NO INTEREST IN THE LAND AT ALL.

IT JUST ALLOWED FOR A SHARED AND NON-EXCLUSIVE USE FOR THE PROPERTY.

MR. MANAGER, I JUST WANT TO TOUCH ON A FEW OF THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT, SINCE I KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE CITY PARTICIPATES IN THE USE OF THE BILLBOARD AND THE TERM AS WELL AS THE LEASE AMOUNT.

SO THE PROPOSED TERM IS FOR 15 YEARS. IT WILL COMMENCE AT THE 120 DAYS AFTER ALL LICENSE OR PERMITS HAVE BEEN GRANTED.

[00:30:05]

THERE'S SOME CONDITION PRECEDENT IN THE LICENSE AGREEMENT.

SPECIFICALLY, IF THE PERMITS ARE NOT GRANTED BY DECEMBER 31ST, 2026, THEN IT WOULD BE, THE LICENSE WOULD BE NULL AND VOID.

IT'S ALSO CONDITIONED ON A LAND USE AMENDMENT OCCURRING AS WELL AS THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION BEING APPROVED.

THE CITY WENT AHEAD AND DID AN APPRAISAL JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S THE FIRST TIME WE'RE NEGOTIATING A LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR A BILLBOARD.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WAS BEING OFFERED TO THE CITY WAS CONSISTENT WITH INDUSTRY STANDARD, AND IT IS. SO WE CONDUCTED AN APPRAISAL. AND I'LL GO OVER THE RENTAL AMOUNT NOW.

SO FOR YEAR ONE THE PAYMENT TO THE CITY WOULD BE $30,000, OR 25% OF THE NET COLLECTED REVENUE.

IN YEAR THREE, IT WOULD GO UP TO 33,000, OR 25%.

IN YEAR EIGHT, IT WOULD BE 36,000 OR 25% OF THE NET COLLECTED REVENUE.

IN YEAR 12, IT WOULD GO UP TO 39,000. YEAR 16 WOULD GO UP TO 42,000, OR 27% OF THE NET COLLECTED REVENUE, AND YEAR 23 IT WOULD GO UP TO 45,000 OR 30, YEAR 23, 45,000 OR 30% OF THE NET COLLECTED REVENUE.

THE LICENSE AGREEMENT ALSO HAS SOME UNAUTHORIZED CONTENT THAT CANNOT BE DISPLAYED ON THE BILLBOARD, SUCH AS LEWD AND LASCIVIOUS, PATENTLY OFFENSIVE ADVERTISING ANY VAPING PRODUCTS, MEDICAL, RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA, ALCOHOL, BEVERAGE, ADULT ENTERTAINMENT, ADULT RETAIL, BETTING OR GAMING OR GAMBLING OR HATE SPEECH CANNOT BE DISPLAYED ON THE BILLBOARD. ABOARD. AND OF COURSE, THE CITY THROUGH THE CITY MANAGER, HAS 24 HOURS IN WHICH TO ALERT THE LICENSEE IF ANY OF THIS UNAUTHORIZED CONTENT IS ON THE BILLBOARD AND HAVE THEM REMOVE THAT CONTENT.

WE WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE SOME USE FOR THE CITY AT NO COST TO THE CITY, SO THE CITY WOULD HAVE THE USE OF THE BILLBOARD FOR PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS IF SPACE IS AVAILABLE. WE ALSO GET TO USE THE BILLBOARD FOR TIMES FOR A TEN DAY, 24 HOUR SLOT.

WE GET FOR TEN DAY, 24 HOUR SLOT, WE GET ONE SLOT FOR CIVIC EVENTS.

ALSO, A LOCAL TAMARAC BUSINESSES CAN ACCESS THE BILLBOARD AT A LOW COST OR DISCOUNTED RATE, AND WE GET A SLOT FOR EMERGENCY INFORMATION AND A SLOT FOR AMBER ALERT.

THESE ARE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION, WHICH I WILL ALLOW THE APPLICANT TO GO OVER ON WEDNESDAY'S MEETING.

SO I'LL JUST GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION QUICKLY AND GET TO THE LAST SLIDE AND SOLICIT ANY QUESTIONS IF THERE ARE ANY.

GREAT. THANK YOU. CAN WE ASK THE APPLICANT YOU KNOW, IF THIS IS A STANDARD SIZE BILLBOARD THAT WE SEE ON, YOU KNOW, ALONG THE HIGHWAYS AND SUCH? SO I THINK IT'S PRETTY TYPICAL, BUT LET'S VERIFY.

SURE. SO AND THEN AND THEN ITEM 10. PUBLIC HEARING IS GOING TO BE ON THE AWARD OF THE LEASE

[10.a TR14319 - A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, approving and authorizing the execution of a license agreement between the City of Tamarac and 3N Outdoor Media, LLC attached hereto as Exhibit “1” , granting the right, privilege and license to use a twelve hundred and forty-eight (1,248) square foot area, more particularly described in Exhibit “B” of city owned property located just West of the Sawgrass Expressway and North of W. Commercial Blvd, further identified by Folio No. 4941-07-09-0020 and more particularly described in Exhibit “A”, to facilitate the installation of one (1) double-sided digital billboard sign for an initial term of 15 years; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. ]

ALONG WITH THAT, WE'RE DOING A COMMUNITY CENTER. THAT WILL BE A 10,000 SQUARE FOOT COMMUNITY CENTER.

PLAYGROUND, TENNIS COURT, BASKETBALL COURT AND PAVILIONS AND FISHING PIER ALONG WITH AN OBSERVATION DECK THAT WILL BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER. AS I SAID, THOSE ARE THE MINIMUM AMENITIES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED IN THIS PARK TO BE QUALIFIED FOR THE GRANT.

WITHIN THE BUILDING ITSELF, AS I MENTIONED, IT'S 10,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING. THE GRANT REQUIRES CERTAIN THINGS THAT GOES WITHIN THE BUILDING.
