THIS IS THE STAFF AGENDA REVIEW, AND WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE AGENDA FOR THE SEPTEMBER 9TH COMMISSION MEETING 7 P.M. [2. City Manager Report] AND SO THESE ARE THE THE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PROCLAMATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS BY MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS. AND THEN WE HAVE AN UPDATE FROM BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE, OUR MONTHLY UPDATE, PUBLIC PARTICIPATION COMMISSION REPORTS. AND THEN ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, WE HAVE ITEM 5.B IS THE [5. Consent Agenda] THE MCNAB ROAD BIKEWAY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. SO THIS IS A SURTAX PROJECT THAT WAS APPLIED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. NOW THE FUNDING IS IS BEING ALLOCATED TO TAMARAC, THE INITIAL PHASE OF THAT IS $135,000 FOR PLANNING FEASIBILITY STUDY AND ALL OF THAT. AND SO ONCE THE THE FEASIBILITY IS IDENTIFIED, THEN, THEN WE'LL PURSUE THE THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THIS PROJECT TO THE TUNE OF $4.5 MILLION. AND THEN ITEM 5.C IS IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND DIGITECH. THIS IS FOR THE BILLING AND, AND EMS BILLING AND PAYMENT PROCESSING SERVICES FOR HOW MUCH? ABOUT 3 YEARS. I HAVE A POWERPOINT TO PRESENT. IF WE GET THAT DEEP, HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, LIKE THIS IS THIS CONTRACT LAST YEAR, WE BROUGHT IT BEFORE THE COMMISSION AND THEY DECIDED ON A ONE YEAR DEAL, WHICH WE DID THAT WE'VE GONE OUT AND LOOKED AT SOME OF THE OTHER VENDORS. AND I HAD THE PROCUREMENT STAFF AT THE TIME. WE WENT THROUGH STEVE AND WE WENT THROUGH PAUL AND THEN BOTH OF THEM LEFT, AND I'M CURRENTLY PRESENTING IT. BUT THIS IS THE PRETTY MUCH THE BEST, BEST DEAL IN TOWN WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. SO I'M RECOMMENDING THAT WE EXECUTE A 3 YEAR DEAL AND I'LL PROVIDE THE DOCUMENTATION. I THINK THE QUESTIONS WERE AROUND THE THE COLLECTION RATE FEES AND, AND AND COMPARISON TO THE OTHER AGENCIES IN THE IN THE AREA. AND SO YOU HAVE ALL OF THAT AS PART OF YOUR PRESENTATION. WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT TODAY OR. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. IT'S ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE IT TO THE REGULAR AGENDA FOR WEDNESDAY'S MEETING. OKAY. YES, PLEASE. AND ON THE REGULAR AGENDA WE HAVE WOODLANDS GREEN USE APPLICATION AND [6.a TR14431 - A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, making findings and designating approximately 276 acres of real property generally located at 4600 Woodlands Boulevard, Tamarac, Florida, and identified by Broward County property identification numbers 494114070010, 494114070012, 494114010021, and 494114111260, as a brownfield area pursuant to Section 376.80(2)(C), Florida Statutes, to be known as the “Woodlands Club Green Reuse Area,” for purposes of environmental rehabilitation and economic redevelopment; making findings that the requirements of Section 376.80(2)(C), Florida Statutes, have been satisfied; identifying Woodlands Club Holdings, LLLP as the person responsible for brownfield site rehabilitation, subject to applicable state and county requirements; authorizing the city manager, or designee, to notify the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Broward County of the designation; providing that the designation does not modify or create development rights; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.] KENT DO YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? YEAH. I HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION IF YOU WANT ME TO PRESENT IT. IF NOT. IT'S JUST A GREEN REUSE BROWNFIELD DESIGNATION FOR THE WOODLANDS DEVELOPMENT. THEY'RE REQUESTING IT. THERE'S 5 CRITERIA TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE. THE CITY IS. HOW BRIEF IS YOUR PRESENTATION? CAN WE TAKE A LOOK? SURE. OKAY. I'LL GO THROUGH IT FAST. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JUST LET ME KNOW. SO AS YOU GUYS ARE AWARE THAT THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE WOODLANDS COMMUNITY, IT'S A 335 SINGLE FAMILY UNIT DEVELOPMENT, 276 ACRES. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A DESIGNATION FOR BROWNFIELD FOR THE CONTAMINATION CLEANUP. THERE'S INCENTIVES INVOLVED. THE BROWNFIELD IS A BY DEFINITION, IT'S A A SITE THAT'S CONTAMINATED WITH CHEMICALS THAT MAY BE ABOVE ACCEPTABLE LEVELS. THE STATUTE 376 80 GOVERNS THE BROWNFIELD REDEVELOPMENT PROCESS. THAT'S PROCESS REQUIRES THAT THE CITY COMMISSION REVIEW A RESOLUTION FOR [00:05:04] DESIGNATED THE BROWNFIELD AND THEN THAT'S NEGOTIATED WITH FDEP AND THE COUNTY. SO THE 5 CRITERIA THAT I INDICATED THAT EVALUATES COMPLIANCE FOR DESIGNATING A BROWNFIELD AREA IS THAT THE DEVELOPER AGREES TO REHABILITATE AND REDEVELOP THE SITE. THE REDEVELOPMENT BOOST ECONOMY AND PRODUCTIVITY AND PROVIDES AT LEAST 5 PERMANENT FULL TIME POSITIONS OR PROVIDES AFFORDABLE HOUSING, RECREATION, CONSERVATION OR PARKS. THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE NOTICES PROVIDED TO RESIDENTS, AND THE APPLICANT HAS FINANCIAL BACKING TO DEVELOP THE PROJECT. SO THAT FIRST CRITERIA IS INDICATED DEMONSTRATING COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATUTE SECTION. WOODLANDS CLUB HOLDINGS LLP. THEY REQUESTED TO DESIGNATE THE AREA AS A BROWNFIELD. THEY CURRENTLY HAVE THE LICENSE FOR REMEDIATION WITH BROWARD COUNTY. AND THEN THEY'RE JUST LOOKING TO GET THIS DESIGNATION, WHICH HAS FURTHER OVERSIGHT WITH THE FDEP, AND THEY INTEND TO DEVELOP THE 335 UNITS. THE ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT THEY INDICATED IS THAT THE DEVELOPMENT WOULD CONTRIBUTE ABOUT $200 MILLION TO THE COMMUNITY OVER A SPAN, AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE ABOUT 24.5 FULL TIME EQUIVALENT JOBS ONCE THE CONSTRUCTION IS OVER. THERE'S ALSO PARKS AND RECREATIONAL AREA PROVIDED THROUGHOUT THAT SITE, AS I INDICATED, IN THAT EXEMPTION PROVISION IN THE STATUTE. AND THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO BE PROVIDING SOME CONSERVATION EASEMENTS FOR BURROWING OWLS. THE 3RD REDEVELOPMENT CRITERIA REVIEW CRITERIA IS THAT IT'S CONSISTENT WITH FUTURE LAND USE POLICIES AS INDICATED. IN THE COMP PLAN DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE BECAUSE IT HAS THOSE REGULATIONS. AND THEN THE IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USES OF RESIDENTIAL ESTATE AND LAND USE OF THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIALLY ZONED AREAS. PUBLIC NOTICE WAS PROVIDED TO 2143 RESIDENTS AND A 400 FOOT PLUS RADIUS. SO IT WENT TO THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER. AND THEN SOME, AND THEN IT WAS POSTED ON THROUGHOUT THE PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY. AND THEN ALSO INTERNALLY TO THE PROPERTY WAS ALSO A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING THAT WAS DONE AS WELL. IT WAS ALSO POSTED ON THE CLERK'S BULLETIN BOARD CITY WEB PAGE. AND IT'S IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY CODES. ADVERTISEMENT REQUIREMENTS. THE DEVELOPER HAS INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE FINANCIALLY FINANCIAL BACKING TO DEVELOP THE PROJECT. THEY HAVE OVER $200 MILLION IN EQUITY. AND THEN THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE CONSTRUCTED OVER 4000 HOMES THAT HAVE A REAL PROPERTY VALUE OF OVER $1.5 BILLION. SO THEY HAVE THE EXPERIENCE IN DEVELOPING THESE PROPERTIES. SO IN CONCLUSION, THE APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION IS FOR A GREEN REUSE DESIGNATION AND DOES NOT AMEND OR SUPERSEDE. THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, DOES NOT WAIVE ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS. THERE'S NO FINANCIAL OBLIGATION. IF APPROVED, THE CITY WILL NOTIFY FDP WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE RESOLUTION. THE APPLICANT WILL NEGOTIATE THE BROWNFIELD REHABILITATION AGREEMENT WITH FDEP IN BROWARD COUNTY. AND THEN THERE'S A COMPONENT WITHIN THE STATUTE THAT THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO ORGANIZE A COMMITTEE TO OVERSEE THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE GREEN REUSE BROWNFIELD AREA. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. KENT. AND WHAT'S THE TIME FRAME FOR THIS REMEDIATION EFFORT? THEY HAD INDICATED THAT OVER THE NEXT 2 TO 3 YEARS, THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING THAT AND CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT. SO THIS CONTINUES AS THE DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES. YES. THEY'RE THEY'RE HAPPENING ALL AT THE SAME TIME. YES. OKAY. WELL THAT'S THE THE LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA. AND SO ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? ALL RIGHT. THAT CONCLUDES OUR REVIEW. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. * This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
