I have nothing to gavel. I have no gavel. Wait, let me go get it. I think it's in your office. Good morning. So are you going to be upset like we're not honoring you a million times today? Okay, I want to make sure. We can still bring up the multi-purpose room if you want me to. Okay. If you can hear me in the back, can you turn up the volume? Whoa. Would everybody... No? Thank you. Thank you. You guys ready? Sadie brought it. Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Can you hear us back here? Are we... Okay, good. Good morning, everyone. Today is February 3rd, 2026, and welcome to the Broward County Commission meeting. I'd like to ask everybody to please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance, and afterwards, please stand, remain standing afterwards. And I'd like to ask our distinguished attorney, Renee Herrod, to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Please remain standing. Ladies and gentlemen, it's customary that we observe a moment of silence and honor of notable persons from our community who have recently passed. So I'm going to go down and ask our colleagues if they want to recognize somebody. I'll start with Commissioner Davis. No? Okay. I'll say... Our vice mayor. The famous Humphreys family that we all know from here in Fort Lauderdale, up all the way to Florida A&M University. The wife, Maude Humphreys, passed away a couple of days ago, and let's just keep the family in prayer. She was 96 years old. 96 years old. Okay. Anyone else? All right. Let us also honor all the brave men and women who serve and continue to serve in our armed forces, both here and abroad, and thank them for their service. And we should pause for a moment of silence. Thank you. Please take your seats. Okay. Welcome. And today's music was selected by Commissioner Fisher. Was it Every Kind of People by Robert Palmer? Is that what it was? And Abraham Martin and John by Dion? Okay. We have three proclamations today before we start, and I don't know if... Hold on one second. Mr. Espinosa is stuck. He had something at the hospital. He'll be here in about 15 minutes. Okay. So let's go on with Commissioner Davis. Pardon me? Your ID? Yeah. Okay. Thank you so much. I'm pleased to welcome to the commission, Eddie Edwards. He's a commissioner in the city of Miramar, and also his wife, Bridget, who is also here. This proclamation is recognizing the month of February as Reggae Month. Whereas reggae music originating in Jamaica in the late 1960s has evolved into a global phenomenon that promotes messages of peace, love, and unity, influencing cultures worldwide, earning UNESCO's recognition as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity in 2018. And whereas the government of Jamaica officially declared February as Reggae Month on January 9, 2008, to celebrate and highlight the profound impact of reggae music coinciding with Black History Month and honoring the February birthdays of reggae legends Bob Marley and Dennis Brown. And whereas Reggae Month serves as an annual dedication to promoting and appreciating reggae music's cultural significance led by the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association and the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment, and Sport, featuring events that showcase the genre's history, artists, and contributions to society. And whereas the first significant recognition and celebration of reggae month outside Jamaica was established in the city of Miramar through the visionary Black History Month Meets Reggae initiative launched by then-Miramar Commissioner myself, Alexandra P. Davis, marking an historic fusion of African-American heritage and Caribbean culture, and whereas under Commissioner Davis' leadership and initiative, three flagship events were established, the Reggae Icon Awards in 2020, honoring key contributors to the reggae industry, the Afro-Karib Festival in 2020, celebrating African and Caribbean music, culture, and heritage, and the Selector Showdown in 2022, a DJ and sound system competition that highlights dance hall culture. And whereas Miramar City Commissioner Carson Eddie Edwards, born in Kingston, Jamaica, with over 30 years of experience in the entertainment and marketing professions, officially assumed responsibility for continuing this legacy, fostering unity and cultural celebration in Miramar. And whereas this year's events will continue to enrich the community with the Reggae Icon Awards, scheduled for February 26th, the Selector Showdown, February 27th, and the Afro-Karib Festival, scheduled on February 28th, inviting everyone to enjoy the rhythms and the heritage of reggae. Now therefore be it proclaimed by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners that the board hereby designates February 2026 as Reggae Appreciation and Celebration Month in Broward County, Florida. Big up yourself. All right. Thank you. Eddie, this is for you and for the work that you continue to do in Miramar, and I'd hope you'd say just a few words. Thank you so much, Commissioner. Mr. Mayor, Vice Mayor, Commissioners, thank you so much for this recognition. As someone that came to this country in the 80s promoting reggae music, people are asking, what is that? And to see now we have, you know, when you call the name Bob Marley, everyone recognizes it. And I want to use this opportunity to pay tribute to some legends that recently passed. We had Jimmy Cliff, Sly Dunbar, one of the great drummers, and Stephen Catcourt from Third World. And so as we honor their work and recognize reggae and what it has done in unifying our community, I want to say thank you so much. Vice Mayor Davis, Commissioner Davis, sorry. As you know, I'm now sitting in your seat on the Miramar Commission and certainly have continued to promote the Afro-Karib Festival and the Reggae Icons Award with the Selected Showdown as well. So thank you so much for this recognition. Appreciate it. All right, how many photos you got? Yeah. Don't blame me if that's a copy. Hey, hey, don't turn it off. Man was dancing. Personally, he is. Commissioner Rogers, you're up next. We'll sit down with the COO of Cleveland Clinic. His name is... Good morning. I wanted to get up and dance. I don't know about you. And I know there are some Jamaicans in the room. I know there are some Jamaicans in these offices all over Rowan County. We gave you an opportunity to stretch. That's what that was all about, exercise. If you sit for an hour, you need to stand for half. All right? So that's part of it. So good morning, colleagues. Good morning. And I'm here to present a proclamation. And I don't see my staff. I don't know if Rob... Mr. Mc... Good morning, sir. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Look at you. We're up to... Thank you very much. Thank you. Now I feel better. I'm awake. This proclamation recognizing Black History Month, and thank you for joining me. Whereas each year, the month of February is designated as Black History Month and is observed and celebrated throughout communities across the nation. And whereas the origin of Black History Month dates back to 1915, when Ms. Dr. Carter G. Woodson founded the organization now known as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. And whereas the observance of Black History Month provides an opportunity to increase awareness and gain a deeper understanding of African American history while acknowledging centuries of struggle, resilience, and contribution in the pursuit of equity and freedom. Whereas since 1976, every president of the United States has proclaimed the month of February as Black History Month. And whereas this month-long observance encourages unity and appreciation for diversity and has strengthened and enriched our nation. And whereas the national theme for Black History Month 2026, a century of Black history commemoration, highlights the profound influence African Americans have had on visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, folklore, language, film, music, architecture, culinary traditions, and other forms of cultural expressions. And whereas organizations to include religious institutions, the African American Research Library and Cultural Center, ARLIC, Friends of ARLIC, the NAACP Fort Lauderdale Broward Branch, the Black Elected Officials, the Urban League of Broward County, and the West Side Gazettes are recognized for significant contributions to the economic, educational, cultural, and spiritual development of African American communities throughout Broward County. And whereas Broward County proudly celebrates the rich history and enduring contribution of African Americans through special programs and events hosted throughout Black History Month, particularly at its libraries, museum, and cultural institutions. Now, therefore, be it proclaimed by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners that the board hereby designate February 26th as Black History Month in Broward County, Florida, and encourages all residents honoring African history, heritage, and contribution. It has been a task. It has been our story. And we stand proudly. I present this to you. I'm honored to present it to you. You know I know your daddy. Yeah, I know you. And don't age me either. Because I call upon him. Thank you. Thank you. I agree. Do I say a few words? You have a few minutes to say a few words. I'll make it real short because I didn't pay for my party. Well, good morning. And I think it's a Bible verse that says something. He came upon his own, and they knew him not. I can't say that here. I feel like family here. And when I look around and I see some very familiar faces, it warms my heart, and it makes me at ease. I don't care how many times you come to a podium, there is moments of some, not fear, but some trepidation that you have a little bit of anxiety. And I know each one of you can understand that. But I want to say to the audience and to you, Ms. Azalee Rogers, we thank you so very much from my daddy who's in rehab in North Carolina, my mother who has passed on. I thank you for recognizing the work that the West Side Gazette has done. God has a way of doing things. This is our anniversary month. We turned 55 this month. So that in itself is something to be reckoned with in this day and time in the culture that we're dealing with. And Vice Mayor McKenzie, I was trying to find my theme music, but I couldn't. Don't put none on. No, that's fine. That's fine. I am certainly appreciative of the music that was played that says it takes all kind of people, you know, and that is so true. But the question then is asked, what are the people going to do with it? What are you going to do with it? What are you going to do with all of this information that you're given, all of the recognition that's been given to people for their hard work? What are you going to do with it? It's up to us to take advantage of what we've been presented with, not only from the history of black folk, but from the history of everybody to put it together and let's move forward. We're in a terrible place, and I won't preach, but we're in a terrible place in this place called America that's supposed to be for freedom and justice for all. That is coming under question, and so we must face that as best we can, and with all honesty that we can garner from ourselves and what we believe in to do the right thing. Not just talk about it, but to do it, to put it in action. And those of you who are in position to make it happen, it's up to you to do it. But that's your charge. We entrust in you. Every single day. Is that it? Okay, okay. With all of that being said, and I thank you so very much, my vice mayor, for giving me the hook in a very special way. So God bless you all, and thank you very much. Mr. Henry. Mr. Henry. Mr. Henry. Mr. Henry. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Do we do any advertisement in your historical paper? I'm glad you asked that question. Now that my wife is no longer here, I can say this. No, you don't, and you should be. Thank you. One question for you. Hold on. Okay. Yeah, I just wanted to, obviously Bobby and I have known each other a long time, but I wanted to say, you all know I was past chairman of the board of the Holocaust Center. I want to thank, I want to thank Mr. Henry, when he was national president of the, that was just last year, the Black Newspaper Association. And they were meeting here in South Florida. He brought them over to the Holocaust Center, where we had a meeting between the Holocaust Center officers and staff and the Black newspaper publishers to work on the important issue of Black-Jewish relations. And I just wanted to publicly, again, thank you for everything you've done in this area. Thank you very much, Mr. Gell. Thank you very much, Mr. Gell. I don't know about that. Our last proclamation has to do with Broward Health Heart Month, and I'm going to ask Alex Espinosa, the chief operating officer for Cleveland Clinic, to come on up to the podium. So if anybody needs a good doctor, chief operating officer of Cleveland Clinic, right here, this is the man to talk to. Best hospitals around. Okay. I have a proclamation to present to you, and here we go. Whereas American Heart Month in February was established by President Johnson in 1963, declaring over one-half of the 10 million Americans afflicted by cardiovascular disease are stricken during their most productive years, thereby causing a staggering physical and economic loss to the nation. And whereas Broward County continues, the free cardiac health screening initiative entitled Broward County slash Florida Panthers Preventative Heart Program in partnership with the Florida Panthers Foundation, the Cleveland Clinic, and Weston, where the tests will be provided. And whereas the most recent data from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention reports that in 2023, the mortality rate for heart disease in Florida was 49,495 for every 100,000 deaths, making it the leading cause of death in the state. Whereas the Florida Department of Health reports that in 2024, heart disease accounted for more than 3,500 out of 100,000 deaths in Broward County. Whereas Broward County continues to collaborate with health care providers and community advocates to improve heart health and reduce the impact of cardiovascular disease by funding preventative screenings aimed at addressing the risk factors for heart disease. And whereas the Broward County Board of Commissioners and Community Partnerships Division, health care services section, blah, blah, blah, encourage residents to join in raising awareness and ultimately reducing heart disease in Broward County, now therefore re-proclaimed by the Board of County Commissioners of Broward County, Florida, that board hereby designates February 2026 as Broward County Heart Month in Broward County, Florida. And I'm presenting this to Alex Espinoza, the Chief Operating Officer of Cleveland Clinic. And the one thing that this doesn't say is it's 1036, and they say every 34 seconds, but let's say every 60 seconds, every 60 seconds, one person dies every day from heart disease. So 36 people have passed away, seriously, more than 36 people in the past 36 minutes from heart disease. It's the leading cause of death. But with that, thank you for everything you do. And thank you. Come on. Thank you. So I'll start, and please indulge me for a minute. I'll start by saying I've been in health care since 1991. I am a heart survivor. So I'll tell you a quick story. In March 10th, September 10th of 2000, the day after my birthday, I was walking into work and I collapsed. And ironically, July of that year, I had an executive physical that had, you know, the stress test, calcium scoring, all of the precautionary tests that one takes, which are good tests, no doubt about it, and very valid. And I had a clean bill of health. I had a zero calcium score. No cholesterol. A little overweight. Blood pressure was low. No indication of having a heart attack. And September 10th, I'm walking into work and I collapsed. And I had 100% blockage of the LAD, which is a widowmaker. And for the fact that I was at work in the parking lot, I wouldn't be here. So this is something that's near and dear to me. It's, if not the most important, one of the most important initiatives that I've ever been a part of in my 35-plus-year career in medicine. I think it's something that is an incredible program that the county has supported. And I think that there's going to be a lot of people that are going to benefit from this program. We intend to continue this in perpetuity at the Cleveland Clinic. We've already found the benefits of these exams and the follow-ups that the patients are doing, not only with us, but with other health care providers in the community. So I congratulate all of you that have backed this initiative up. We are committed to continue to do these tests to help our community continue to be healthy and live longer. So, again, on behalf of the Cleveland Clinic, we're very proud to accept this proclamation. And we continue to partner up with the county to continue to do great things. So thank you. Just so you know, all the tests he took that showed he was clear is not our test. Our test had contrast, would have shown your complete blockage in your Widowmaker. The other test that he took would never have shown it because it doesn't show soft plaque or soft plaque. Right? Anyway, let's take a quick picture. Thank you. Thank you. A little Seinfeld right in the book. Yeah. When you need a wide-angle end. Yep. We got it. Back it up. Squeeze it in. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Yeah. But thank you for asking. We're going to take a two-hour break. No. Let's go. Can we have the reading, the Tuesday morning memo, please? Pardon me? We got presentation? Oh, okay. What's the presentation? The homeless. Okay, great. It would be nice if I knew about it. Say a few words before. Okay. Mr. Mayor, so if I can introduce. So, Ms. Patrice Paldino is going to provide a brief overview of some of the, at the high level of some of the homeless services and programs that we have. It was requested at the last commission meeting. So, Patrice, the floor is yours. Thank you. Before she does that, I have a few comments I'd like to make. Mr. Mayor, over here. Please. Yes, thank you. Okay. So, I chair our homeless continuum of care, and I've had the privilege, and I say privilege, of doing that for a number of years now. I can tell you, I don't remember a time when anybody who is the director or the staff has been committed to more support for this community at a time of need than they did this last week from January 26th until now, and it's not over. And I wanted to just recognize some of the people that have really made this happen, and Patrice will introduce her staff, but I wanted to mention that we, as you know, we had to try and find places for people who were on the streets, single people, men, women, and families, people with children. And I say we started on January 26th with about 60 people in the shelters that we had, and we ended up last night with 192 people in shelter. And I wanted to mention and thank those that participated. I see Tom Campbell out in the audience there, and Dodie. Brad Partnership for the Homeless, of course, was a big contributor to this and supporter of this. And took many, many people into their facility, and I think I had, I don't remember how many. It was a lot, anyway. Whatever Brad Partnership for the Homeless is asked to do, they do for us. We had Keith Cavanaugh from Caring Place in Hollywood, and they were amazing. They took in, I believe, 44 people last night, maybe more, in their place, and they, each group takes in different people. So Caring Place had 44 cots and 10 sleeping bags for people sleeping there, and they took in men, women, and families. Salvation Army, amazing, of course. It was like the rallying place where everybody kind of started out and then was transported to other shelters if they hadn't already gone to those other shelters. So the Salvation Army had, I believe, 84 last night, and they do singles and not the families. And Hope, South Florida, had 34. They had women, and they had families. We opened up the last couple of nights the Mills Center, and that was thanks to our family success, human services. And we had 24 cots there last night. So it'll give you an idea of how many people and families. And I want to say there were some really some wonderful stories. One person ended up being transferred over to Bark, and is it Bark? And the other one that really got to me was one of the first nights when Patrice and we were in contact every night, every day on this. And she contacted me, and there was a woman that was walking in the park, who evidently lived, you know, in that area. And she came upon a woman and her child sitting there. And the woman was, you know, quite distraught. And she asked her, and she found out that she was a victim of domestic violence. So she took her to her home and fed them and then brought them to Salvation Army. And Patrice was there. And that woman is now in Women in Distress. She went there that night, and she is now there as a regular person and her child there. So it just gives you a sense of what we did. And I just can't speak highly enough about Patrice and her team. They just put whatever they had to do or not do with their families, their lives, whatever, they just devoted it to this. They were there, you know, night and day. And Patrice was out getting food, and I think Nick's here. I saw him before. There are others as well. But I just wanted you all to know that, I mean, you're going to get an overview today of what we're doing. But to have in this county a team like this that can just mobilize and do this kind of work and protect people, very vulnerable people in our community, is just incredible. And we owe her a debt of gratitude and her staff as well. Thank you. Thank you for that. Good morning, commissioners, madam administrator, deputy administrator, county auditor, counselor, staff, and others who are here today. I'd like to first start by thanking you all for your continued support and attention to the important matter of homelessness. Today's goal is to provide the board and the public a high-level overview that you requested regarding what the county is doing to address homelessness with the intent to take a deeper dive at an upcoming homeless workshop. The county makes a tremendous effort to address homelessness, but we know this is a collaboration and we cannot do it alone. We appreciate the work of our nonprofit providers, the municipalities, and everyone else who does their part in a collaborative spirit that they display every day. Generally speaking, HUD requires each jurisdiction to have a continuum of care we affectionately call the COC. Our Broward County Governance Charter outlines the board, the committees, our membership, and its intent is to be designed to promote a community-wide commitment to ending homelessness, making homelessness as rare as possible, identifying funding gaps, minimizing trauma, promoting access to programs, optimizing self-sufficiency. The Broward County COC is what HUD refers to as the collaborative applicant for all HUD COC funding. We manage the HMIS system, which is the homeless management information system, which is to assure quality data is collected across the continuum, and the HOS staff is responsible for convening and managing the COC meetings. As you know, Senator Rich is the chair of the COC. Generally, the composition of the COC is defined in our county charter. On the right side of this chart, you'll see a list of entities and representatives that are included in the COC, as defined in the charter. And we have several subcommittees. The COC meets monthly. The subcommittees meet monthly. And they each have their own specific area of focus. Your HOS team, Housing Options Solutions and Supports Division, is comprised of three general sections. Again, we manage and monitor all of the homeless initiatives that I'm going to address in a little while. We have a housing section, which handles case management and housing navigation, assisting people to find housing. Permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing. Our operations team, we have a direct client services section. Our coordinated entry and quality assurance. Coordinated entry is the entry point for people to come into the homeless system in order to access services. And they also make sure that our data, our HMIS data, is correct and appropriate and monitor the waiting lists. And then we have our contracts and grants team. And we also are fortunate to have the human rights section in HOS. They investigate fair housing and discrimination complaints. And, of course, we recognize that affordable housing is one component. Safe, decent housing is another. And it must be free from discrimination. So they are an important component of this collaboration. We have programs supported by general funds and our HUD COC funding. Most of these are programs that are supported and pushed out to our nonprofit providers. Some of them are maintained in-house. We have our shelters. Our housing programs. Again, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and transitional. Direct services, case management, and move-in assistance, providing financial assistance, first, last, and security. We have our outreach teams. We have two providers that do street outreach. And we also have our collaborations with Broward County Aviation and Broward County Transit to do specialized outreach at those locations. We have other programs for medical respite for people who are being discharged from the hospital to try and avoid being discharged to homelessness. Mobile sanitation, which are the showers, case management programs, and, of course, our legal assistance eviction prevention program. This next slide is an overview of our fiscal year 2025 funding. As you can see, the general fund column is in almost $28 million. Our grants is almost $19 million. That includes state and HUD funding. So we have a small grant from the state of Florida for the challenge grant. And our total funding for homelessness services in HOSTI is over $46 million. Just as a reminder and a thank you to Broward County Aviation, they support our outreach at the airport with $500,000. And transit, Broward County Transit, their project, they support our efforts in the amount of $540,000. So that's represented in that general fund column, and we are very appreciative of their commitment to helping to address homelessness in those spaces. We have many special initiatives that we've launched over the last couple of years. I'll just touch on these a little bit for you. And, of course, at the workshop, I can go into a much deeper dive for you. But we've seen a lot of success with shared housing recently, opportunities for landlords that own properties, for people to share not only a house, maybe a four-bedroom house, but also the opportunity to share rooms. These are more affordable options for people that particularly are low-income. We're finding it successful for veterans, the elderly with very limited income. It also provides a space of camaraderie and friendship, community for them. We are responsible for monitoring the county's Q-alert and House Bill 1365 response. As the senator mentioned, the cold weather response, we've been launching that for the last two weeks in coordination with many of our sister divisions. We have special initiatives for the BMSD because we're responsible for that area. We make sure that we're monitoring homelessness in that area so that we have a finger on the pulse of what's happening there. With the city of Fort Lauderdale and their tax credit properties, we're working with the Housing Authority to assist people in getting applications in so that they can move into tax credit properties. We work with the city of Fort Lauderdale. We meet monthly with them during their homelessness meeting. Broward County Public Schools, their HART program, the Homeless Assistance, excuse me, Homeless Education Assistance Resource Team for homeless students. So students that are identified by the Broward County Schools when they first open or throughout the year, when they identify families that are homeless, they routinely come to the COC meetings. They report on those numbers, and then my team tries to reach out to those families. We participate in community court as the experts on HMIS and homelessness issues. We have done two homeless symposiums. Our third one is expected in February in Pompano, and we also run the Project Home Again initiative, which is a landlord registry where we have private landlords in the community who are committed to helping us address homelessness by providing affordable and safe units. Also missing from that is we also participate in the PIT count, which is HUD's requirement, the point-in-time count that's required every other year. I apologize if that's not there, which is a snapshot of a literal point-in-time trying to count homelessness on the street. We have worked very hard to expand capacity. Right now we have approximately 600 beds available in our shelters, our existing shelters. So when the senator mentions 192 people, that's really – those are in addition to the 600 beds that we ordinarily have. So these last two weeks where we've been able to increase capacity, we're talking about increasing capacity by a third when you think of the overall numbers of 600 beds that are usually available. We are working with the city of Fort Lauderdale to increase capacity at the Central Homeless Assistance Center, Central HAC, by 70 beds. Right now we have 230. We're working to increase that to 300. Our partnership for the homeless is instrumental in working with us and the city to have that happen. We recently reestablished a relationship with the Caring Place to add 18 beds to the continuum of care that is in Hollywood. We also launched a really great initiative with Broward Health and, again, the Central HAC, you know, yeah, with the HAC to increase medical respite by 10 beds. What's interesting about this is our medical respite program that we currently have is with Broward House, and they have a limited number of beds for people that are being discharged from the hospital, and we pay for those beds and the services. This opportunity, Broward House Health has contributed – they will provide the nursing care in the HAC. So the beds are being provided by the county at no additional cost because they're part of our census, and Broward Health is providing the nursing care as opposed to us. So this additional opportunity comes with no increase in any expenditures by the county, and it's really exciting because it's a nice partnership. We recently launched the Safe Parking Program for 20 families living in their vehicles with children to provide them supportive services, including case management. And also, we did a really interesting pilot in partnership with AIDS Health Foundation, who purchased a hotel on Broward Boulevard. That hotel has 140 units. We were able to utilize 16 of them and housed 20 people. They charge $750 per unit, which is very affordable, and we placed people in there, provided them with some supports, financial assistance, and like maybe a rice cooker and things so that they can have some light cooking in the rooms. And we've seen some households transition to permanent housing from there, although this is considered a quasi-permanent option because they can stay there as long as they'd like. And we're using this as a pilot to demonstrate the possibility of considering a hotel in the future. So this provides us with some nice data. As I mentioned earlier, it's my understanding that there's been some attention to the transit in Fort Lauderdale. We're mindful of, Vice Mayor, your comments at the last commission meeting. So this is a general overview regarding efforts around transit locations, including Fort Lauderdale. And we'll be sure to take a deeper dive at your upcoming homeless workshop. So this transit project targets four major terminals, plus the 103 bus stops throughout the county. There are monthly meetings of this team. That's a collaboration with Broward County Transit, Bark, Haas, Fort Lauderdale Police, other law enforcement, the Multi-Agency Homeless Task Force, BSO, and the Task Force for Ending Homelessness to do a targeted effort at outreach at the transit locations. Specifically in the Fort Lauderdale area, there is the space just north of the transit called the Green Mile. We were seeing some improvement, but we have seen a little bit of activity increase in December. Initially, when there was attention being brought to this area, the first issue was to address the crime there, prostitution and drugs. And so we're continuing to strategize collaborative solutions by increasing law enforcement, identifying levels of service, removing temporary barriers. There are some fencing around different areas and increasing street outreach. Generally, though, you know, we understand that this is a collaborative approach because the ownership of the different properties in that area is different. So we're responsible for the transit, but there's city space there, there's private space there, and so this is not an area that we can address alone. We appreciate the effort that goes in from all of the other partners in the area. And then, just because I want to give you a little bit of other information of other divisions that participate in projects that help prevent or address homelessness, The Family Success Administration Division, FSAD, has emergency financial assistance for rent, mortgage, and utilities, as well as case management. Elder and Veteran Services has their Elder Housing Initiative, providing supportive services for seniors, financial assistance, and case management. And EVSD also has a consumer-directed care program, which is a stipend for out-of-pocket expenses and case management. And, again, this is so important because we are aware, again, that we can't do this alone, so we tap into our partners across the county divisions, across local nonprofits, and other providers. So this is all really important. So these are other programs that you help support. And I did neglect to show you. I just wanted to give you, at the cold weather events, what we've been doing. Not only are we there triaging and getting people into different services, the county is also providing to people experiencing homelessness various things. We're providing blankets, hats, socks, scarves, gloves, hand warmers. We also have a smaller hygiene kit. We had donations from different divisions across the county that provided coats. Last night we had three huge boxes of coats that we were distributing and sweatshirts, bus passes. And I have to say that everything that we do on site is so greatly appreciated by everyone that we meet. So thank you, again, for your time and attention to this. Thank you from staff and those we serve. And I really appreciate the time and attention that you give to these issues. Thank you. Thank you, Patrice. Mr. Mayor, do you want questions now or are you going to hold them for the workshop? I would say workshop. I would like to see it at the workshop. We'll do it at the workshop unless you want to ask something now. I do. Thank you. Yes. Compliments and questions at the same time. Thank you for all you guys are doing during this period. But my question will focus a little bit on your street outreach team and mental health issues. How do you track and know how to reach that population during this cold period of time? Thank you for your question. We have two street outreach teams. We contract with Task Force to handle street outreach for individuals and care resource for families. Task Force now has implemented, embedded in their street outreach, a mental health component. So they actually have someone that will go out on the street and address that. So it's part of the assessment. It's also part of the, once someone comes into coordinated entry, there's an assessment tool. And so those issues are addressed in assessing their vulnerability and where they fall. Because coming into the system is not a first come, first serve. It's based on your vulnerability. So it's part of those assessments that, when they initially come to our attention. Okay. Excuse me, Commissioner. You know, I've been being told. So this is all going to be discussed in a workshop. We're going to have a workshop on all this. Otherwise, everybody. And they will be there also. Yes, they're going to be there. Yes. Yes. Otherwise, everybody's going to want to take an hour or two right now. Thank you. So if that's okay with you. Okay. Thank you. And you can break that out for me for the workshop. Okay? Yes, ma'am. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Let's go on to our start reading the Tuesday morning memo. Would our reading clerk please read the memo?

The public hearing on item 15 is now open. Item 15 is a motion to adopt a resolution granting a non-exclusive, unrestricted Port Everglades vessel bunkering service franchise to Feraldo Fuel Transportation, Inc. for a one-year term. No member of the public has signed up to speak on the item. Do I have a motion? Motion to approve. Second. I have a motion and a second on item 15. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed?

Item 16 is a motion to adopt a resolution pertaining to Port Everglades Foreign Trade Zone number 25, tariff number 5, amending section 42-29 of the County Administrative Code and amending FTZ operator's fees. One member of the public has signed up to speak on the item. Michelle Torotura. Michelle, you want to come on up? Mayor, Vice Mayor, thank you so much for this opportunity. My name is Michelle Torotura. I am the Director of Marine and Aviation and Compliance for Compass Logistics and Marine, and we also are FTZ administrators is what I will say. Thank you for your continued efforts to support the economic development within our county. I am speaking today to express strong support for the proposed fee reductions associated with Foreign Trade Zone 25. Reducing the FTZ-related fees would significantly broaden access, allowing businesses to participate and compete on a more level playing field. This would encourage local companies to grow, hire, and reinvest within the county, while also attracting new, diverse business activity, including many marine-related businesses. Increased FTZ utilization by businesses would, in turn, strengthen local supply chain, expansion, expand employment opportunities, and enhance the county's overall economic resilience. I appreciate your consideration for the fee reductions and encourage the commission to view this initiative as a long-term investment in the vitality of our business community and the local economy. I look forward to working with FTZ 25 very soon, and I think I will see many of you at the Port Everglades Association luncheon on Friday. Thank you for your time. Thank you. We have one commissioner. Commissioner Furr. Thank you. Thank you, Michelle, for coming up and mentioning that. I guess what I'm wanting to see is over the next year, we're taking a bit of a gamble here by lowering, not a big gamble. I think it's a good gamble. But I think we want to be able to see the metrics and show that this makes sense and that this is the right way to go about it. And I think it is. You know, I think it's a good, but it's always good to be able to show it. So I think, you know, if we can show some benchmarks and then bring this back to us, maybe in a year or so, not to me, but to the board, to show that this was a good thing to do. So, Mr. Mayor, we will certainly bring back metrics. The port director and his team will be monitoring that, and we can bring something back to the board. Thanks. Commissioner Rogers. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I know, based on the activities we have planned and how we're going to be engaging the port and, you know, and the FTZ 25, we will see some good results. So, looking forward to working with the department. All right. Do I got a motion on 16? So moved. I got a motion and a second. All in favor on item 16? Any opposed? Show that passing unanimously.

We're now going to our regular items. Maybe we get another record done time-wise in the meeting. I'm going to skip 26. We'll come back to it. I wanted to take 27, 28. Is there a 27, 28? Those are the comments, I think. Okay. So I wanted to just briefly discuss 30 and get everyone's opinion on that. So, you know, Commissioner Davis, Commissioner Udine, and I went up the Broward days, and I thought the whole purpose, first of all, I want to thank Jared Rosenstein and Candace Eriks and Marty. for doing a job of what we've set them out to do. But what happens is you get there, and I thought the purpose was for us to connect with people up in the state legislature, for us to be and meet and make relationships, as many as possible, while we're there. And that doesn't seem to be the order. And, Monica, this is something that, you know, you do well when you're up there and you set up appointments, which is great, which you should do. But if we're up there, having a speaker series can be great. It's great to learn. But the reason I thought we were up there is to meet legislators, to set relationships, so we're not that evil beast down in Broward County. And so, you know, we met Sam Garrison. It was great to meet him, who's the incoming Speaker of the House. But otherwise, I think the future of Broward Day is really, in my opinion, you guys could change it, should be where we are up there and meeting with legislators and meeting with government and establishing relationships. And not, you know, the speaker series is all fine and good, but I'm not up there to learn. I'm up there for relationships. You know, there's plenty of time to learn here. There's plenty of time to talk to our legislative branch here and our, you know, people that do the work up there. I don't need to fly or drive all the way up there to learn something when we can learn it right here. That's my opinion. I think we could really better use that time to meet whoever goes where we meet with legislators. So I'd like to get your opinions. I mean, Commissioner Davis, you were there as well, so I'd like you to start. Thank you. And I've been before as part of a city delegation, and it was different. And so I think it's really up to us, the administrator and her team, to really be setting these appointments before we get there. They're up there all the time. And it's a simple matter of arranging ahead of time that we can meet the people that we need to meet to advance our causes. And once we get there, that should all be set up. But I was able to set some stuff up with our lobbyists because I got a lot of information from that. But in terms of department heads or the folks that we really needed to speak to, that could have been set up. You don't have to follow the program set aside by Broward Days if it's not beneficial to us. So I think it's incumbent upon our team to be able to set that up before we get there so we have meaningful dialogue. And that can be done because it was done in the city. Commissioner Udine. So a couple things. The Broward Days program, I think, is a good backdrop program for all the different groups that are going up there. So there's a lot of groups that go up to Broward Days, which makes it important for the legislators to see a team from Area on Aging, a team from Broward County Schools, a team from all the different agencies that you would say that you would see people up there. So they like to keep the speaker series going to make sure that they have something when they're not engaged with legislators that they can go to with the different department heads. I'll tell you, I'm thankful for Port Everglades Association, for the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, for Marty Cassini. They had my calendar pretty much packed up. I usually, when I go up there, and I had like 20 meetings over three days because I went a day early for Holocaust Remembrance Day, and I went with the different federations from Broward since I was going to be up there anyway. And my calendar was pretty much full. You know, I met with a lot of legislators. Marty Cassini set me up with a lot of people, and Jared and Candace as well. I like to meet with people, in many cases, with the Port Everglades team. They had a lot. So Lori Baer and her team and the Alliance team sent me a list. So there were like 10 of those meetings. But then the other ones, I like to meet with people outside of our area. Senator McClain, actually his wife worked with Jared Rosenstein, Candace, and Marty. She was involved, believe it or not, with helping to set up Broward Days. Senator McClain's a senator out of the Ocala area who is a developer and is going to be trying to rewrite a lot of the affordable housing and a lot of the different live local stuff next session. And I had good meetings with him. I tried to meet with Blaze. I brought the mayor over there to meet him because I know they have a lot in common. But he had just left and had left town. But I'm going to get that set up too. I like to, when I go up there, I met with Tri-Rail. I met with a lot of the transportation people. And they were happy to see that I took Tri-Rail to the airport when I went and just to meet with the different stakeholders. Broward Days is what it is. You've got to make something out of it. It has some time that gets rough to people that don't understand what Tallahassee's about. I think it's important. And I also think it's a very minimal investment for the county. I think we only do a few dollars as one of the sponsors. I think we should be one of the sponsors in Broward Days. Work with Marty and work with Candace and Jared. They'll pack your calendar if you want. The legislators are looking to see people from Broward. I like to go with Port Everglades because everybody in Tallahassee likes Port Everglades. And it's a good item to get in and really spread other type of things. You know, business development, the port, those kind of things. So I think it was well worth it. I think our staff up there did a good job. You know, I don't know. It's a hard one. A lot of times we go up as Broward as the big boogeyman. And it's important for us to go up there and just, you know, bump into the different people. Like, I was talking to one young attorney and I asked him what firm he was with. And he said, no, no, no. I was just appointed to the Florida Supreme Court. So after I took my foot out of my mouth, I said, I'm from Broward County. And so you just see a lot up there where it's a more kind of relaxed thing. I get what you're saying. I mean, it is hard if you don't have them all lined up in advance because the place is hard to get around. But it's, I think, impossible to get to. First of all, thank you, Commissioner Dean. If not for him, you know, he calls me up and says, hey, I'm going to this. We're going to this meeting. You're coming with me. We're going to this meeting. I go, what meeting? What meeting are you talking about? So it's good that your calendar was filled up. But, you know, Commissioner Davis, I don't know if I'm speaking for you, but in mind, you know, wasn't at all. And so maybe they like me better than you. Did you ever think that could be bad? I'm sure they do. I did have the first day. Again, I spoke to the lobbyists and got a lot of information. There was about nine of them there at nine meetings. So I did have that. But what was missing was the department heads or the legislatures. I didn't get to meet with them one-on-one. And maybe that could be infused in the two-day or maybe three days up there. But all I'm getting is if we go up three people or four people, we should all together go in the same meetings. And not, oh, I'm going here. No, I try to be careful with sunshine. Sunshine. No? Right. Sunshine issues. If you're talking about issues that you guys would potentially end up voting on, that would be a challenge. They do a great job. All I'm saying, especially, UD knows everybody everywhere. He's everywhere. You know what else you should do? So seriously, you should meet with Bob Mayerson. He's in our office here. He did a good job. I mean, he gets people around. He'll drag you around. All I'm suggesting is that in the next, in the future, Jared and both, I talked to them. They said, great, we'll be glad to set that up. Someone needs to tell us. And so, you know, just that's all. Yeah. So, Mr. Perry wants to speak, but Broward days are great, but Broward days are Broward days. And it's like a, it's just like a big schedule thing. When I was mayor at Pomplano Beach, what we did is we actually went up a different day. The start of the session, and we had our lobbyists set up meetings. And we specifically went to the legislative bodies that we had as Commissioner Davis, our agenda. And it just seems more effective that way when you kind of go up as a group on your own, rather than kind of jamming into Broward days, because it's nothing but like a, like a mill. You're like a mill, you know. You're just going here, you're going there, and okay, you're here. That's just my opinion. I think you're more effective going as a team outside Broward days early on and seeing those specific agencies or those, the legislators that you really want to change their minds or, or talk about our agenda. That's just my opinion. Senator Gellar had his, and Commissioner Rogers. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I missed Broward days this year. I was having a medical procedure. No, I'm sorry, Steve. I'm going to go. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Well, as someone who's been there, I think both aspects that you were talking about are important. It's the camaraderie of being with people from Broward County, all the legislators together, meeting with all the, with all the agencies that, you know, have an impact on people in Broward County. I think that's very important. The part that you all are talking about is really not part of that. As far as I see it, I think it's kind of what Commissioner Fisher was saying. I mean, you have, you have to remember when people say, you know, it was, well, it's very different from the city. It's very different from the city because the city you have, you know, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're all together and you're going to set up your appointments. This is a very different thing. And then you look, compound that with all these people that are asked, being asked to have appointments. So unless you have something set up ahead of time with somebody, you know, like an appropriations chair, maybe, or something, it's going to be tough. I see, you know, when I was there, I see a lot of value though, with people coming to a group assembly of, of, of the people that are up there for Broward days. And, uh, whether it's, uh, you know, the, the Senate president or the speaker of the house or, you know, or any of the cabinet members or anything like that. And then people can branch out and do their own thing. But I think it would be a mistake not just to say, well, we're not going to do this anymore. We're just going to go up there ourselves. I mean, we can do that anytime we can, but I think this other is, is incredibly important for our County having a kind of a unified front up there. Um, you know, this year, for instance, like on the ad valorem tax, I mean, I don't think there's any of our agencies here or anybody went up there that, you know, was not, uh, you know, focused on what would happen if some really terrible bill gets passed. So, um, you know, I just think again, it should be, you know, all of us together at a point and then, you know, you can break out or you can go an extra day, um, uh, uh, you know, outside of this. But I, I would hate to see us not be a part of this, all the other groups in our County. Uh, and, and I understand that it is, it's very, it's, it's hectic up there. And, um, and maybe we could do a little more with, um, having some appointments made ahead of time for people who would like to meet with certain people. I mean, certainly our lobbyists have that ability to, you know, to set up appointments and, um, uh, and, uh, that would be, you know, that would be okay. But I just, I just would like to see us make sure that we keep both components of it there. Um, and, uh, and we're each learning about each other. We're, you know, when I think about Broward days, the many times that I was there up there and then from here too, as well. So it's 20 some odd years. I think, you know, of meeting people from my own County, uh, with whom we have relationships and we, or we need to build relationships. And that's another component of this that I think is very important. So that's how I feel about it. Thank you. Well, I'll just repeat myself because I've been saying from day one here and I said it nine years over in the city that, um, I'm not a Broward days person. Um, I think it gets watered down, um, in terms of, uh, like commissioner Fisher was saying. And I do believe that, um, we empower staff to go up and we, um, pay lobbyists to go up and get our needs, uh, done. And they're the ones that can open these doors and, and, and, and, and move across party lines and, you know, put emotions aside to, to try to bring back the dollars that, that we need in, in, um, in Broward County. So, um, and I participated virtually on a panel second year I've done it. Didn't want to do it, uh, but it still had my presence there. Um, but, uh, I think we can do, um, I think we need to stay present. Don't, don't stop it. But if I do go at some point in the future, uh, I do want to meet with some, with some people and I'm sure I'll set that up. Uh, but I've, I've had great successes at national legal cities where we go to DC, uh, and, um, you know, they set up, I go see senators and Congress persons and, but they set up ahead of time and, and I do that. It's not so packed in like, like, uh, Tallahassee is. So I'm not a Broward days person, but I do believe that the Marty Cassini's, uh, uh, the Candace's and the, and the Jared's and the Monica's are important to be there, uh, speaking on our, on our behalf. I do believe that part. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I missed Broward days this year. I had a minor surgical procedure that day. So, but I've been to God knows how many of them either as the legislator is, um, uh, private sector or County commission. The, um, I think if they are important because as has been said, Broward is seen as an all democratic County. And when you look at who goes to Broward days, it's a lot of people, there are a business community and it's a, which many of them are Republicans. And it is important to remind, uh, the people in Tallahassee that there's a lot of Broward is a bipartisan County in terms of people who live here, the business community, et cetera. And I think that's important. Having said that, uh, Senator Rich can tell you when, when we were both in the Senate, I was in meetings from, you know, 8 a.m. Um, and I would have, you know, a 15 minute break typically between committee meetings. And that was all the time I had. If everybody thinks that they're going to go up and see a bunch of legislators from other parts of the state. I mean, when I was there, normally the only people that I had time to see where I'd see constituents from home and we can see them, we don't need to go up to Broward days to see our local legislators as commissioner union said, but I would see them and I'd see some of the lobbyists that really needed five minutes on a bill that was coming up in, in a couple of days. We just don't have time. We, the legislators simply don't have time to visit with everybody that wants to see us. It's just not possible. So, so that's why as commissioner, you Dean accurately said, it's important that you work with our lobbyists to get these appointments way ahead of time and they'll get you some, but like I said, the speaker, the president, everybody in the world wants to see them during session. So I think it is, you're correct, Mr. Mayor. It, I think it is a good idea that we do this, but for the reasons that you want to go, we just need to make sure that when the county commissioners that we know are going are going, that we get these appointments scheduled weeks in advance, because if we don't, you're just not going to be able to see the people that you want to see, but it's still a good thing to do to bring the business community up there. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And my comment as a member of the Broward League of Cities and president, I know the importance of us going to Broward Days. So I would continue to encourage us participating, but there are things we can do differently. And as my colleagues spoke, Ms. Davis spoke to being there from a city perspective is truly different because we go with our lobbyists and they already made their appointments and we have access. I know I heard someone make comments about having more than one elected official because of the sunshine. Now, I would like to know how cities can do it, but the county can't do it. Well, that's where I am, Mr. Attorney. I need you to answer that question for me. They're probably violating the law. Carefully. Before I forget what I want to say, I know you guys are, especially this one to my right. All right. So I know I've been, when I first got here, I was asking Monica, what is the county's legislative agenda? When do we get to see that? I see more now because I asked, so I'm getting information, but that should be part of it, knowing our legislative priorities. So even if we're going up by ourselves in a group or separate, okay, we can speak to those priorities of the county, whether or not we're in a group or not. I think we all should know it. And as we are going up, we do normally have a designated speaker. We have a mayor and a vice mayor. And all of us have different areas of the agenda or the legislative agenda that we deem a priority. So we're not everywhere together all the time because we have different priorities that will benefit the county. But we need to know the legislative priorities of this county. And we can move on from there. But I agree with what everyone stated. And we can make it happen. Use our lobbyists more. They should be sending out information. Oh, guys, if you want to see anyone, this is the time of the year. We need to submit our request. We can get information from the lobbies that we can use to plan our days when we go to Broward Days. But it's important. I want to go with you next time, Mayor, so you can have some real fun. Deal. All right. Mr. Mayor. Yes. Thank you. So Broward Days, just for the public, really, because I know you guys all know this. You mean for the 12 people watching? Well, there's people on TV as well and online. The 12 people watching. Yes, sir. Broward Days, as you all know, again, for the benefit of the listening public, is a nonprofit organization that puts on this program, if you will. And so I do believe that there's benefit on both, participating in that, because it would be very awkward for it to be Broward Days and Broward County is not, you know, present. It is, you know, a very nominal expense that we participate in as a sponsor just to help support the organization and the events. The speaker series that they do put on is actually very important and beneficial because at that point, they actually bring in, you know, the heads of the different, you know, the chambers, the Senate President, Speaker of the House, the appropriation chairs, all of the quote-unquote players that are in the mix. They do come to that. And then oftentimes, and I've seen Commissioner Dean do it very well, where he's just popping in and tagging on to other meetings. But he waits for that picture and then he waits. Yes, exactly. No, but I'm just saying, but when those speakers come in, if you can't get a meeting with those individuals, as they're walking out, you know, you walk out with them and have a couple of minutes. And it's that relationship building. Also, Commissioner Fisher, what you said about, you know, another time, that's also something important. And then off legislative season as well is a good time to have the relationship building opportunity. As far as the legislative priorities of the commission, prior to going, the three commissioners that attended, part of the information packet that was given, our legislative priorities are in there as well. Just as a good reminder, you all as a board adopt those priorities as part of the agenda. So it is strictly following exactly the policy of the board and the legislative priorities for the executive and legislative branch. So I just want to make sure that the public understands that that is something that we're taking. We're hearing the feedback that you all are providing and we'll make sure that, you know, moving forward, if there's an interest in additional meetings, we're certainly happy to address that and see what we can do to make those appointments. Yeah. Just to clarify, I wasn't talking about getting rid of our days for us or not attending. I was just trying to see how it might make it a little more efficient, a little better for those that want to have meetings set up ahead of time. And I think we'll just talk to Jared and Candace ahead of time and Marty and we'll do that. Is that cool? Thank you. All right. Is the only other thing left is the dashboard? I'm not going to go, right? The only thing I wanted to just say at number three, Monica, with the commission building, would you please make sure that company has a report by the end of April? They promised to have their report done by the end of April. They told us there. And then we have a phone number now for the emergency for TOPS, right? Does everybody know that? Pardon me? Yep. So we do. Are we going to somehow promote that to the public and to our customers? Yes. And if you would like to have Corey come up and give a brief overview, she's right here. She can just tell you about it. What? Sure. They did a great job of pulling that together very quickly. Thank you. Real quick. No, please. You've got 30 seconds. Go. Don't start her. Don't run. Don't hurt yourself. Wait. I just wanted to thank her for doing it so quickly since our last meeting, really. She's on the ball. She's on the ball. Let's do it. I want to say thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much, everybody. I have to say that it was a team effort. Everybody chipped in to make it happen. We were particularly excited to be able to get a number that actually brands it as an emergency urgency number. And so we were able to get the number 844-TOPPS-911. So thanks for the opportunity and for challenging us. And we will be promoting it. So we're starting off with a cohort of about 100 of our customers to make sure that it works for about 30 days. And then we'll roll it out to the rest of the population. Who answers that phone? So right now, well, our Inktel team answers the phone. And as I mentioned in the call. I'm sorry, who? I'm sorry. Inktel. That's our provider, our vendor. Oh, okay. So that's who answers our normal reservation calls. But they have a separate line for this particular effort. And what will happen is there will be a very brief recording on the front end. Oh, there you go. I knew you were going to do that. Go ahead. So there will be like a 10-second, you know, hello, you've reached our urgent number. And if this is an emergency, hang up and dial 911. And this call is being recorded. And a live agent will pick up after that. They picked up. Yay. And I hung up. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Cuff-Lonergan. Right. What's the emergency? Anyway, anything else? Reports. Mr. Mayor. Go ahead. I know in the transportation area on the dashboard was the buses, the need for the buses to be replenished. And I did see an item where you're leasing more buses. So could we get something from the director? Number seven on your, it's number seven on the dashboard. Would you like to hear from her also? Yeah. Okay. Just how, just so the public can know that you're addressing the need for more buses. Thank you, Ms. Cuff-Lonergan. Yes, ma'am. So we have been putting out communications about the, about our service and some of the challenges that we've had. We are in the process, as you all know, and thank you for your support in making sure that we are getting the buses, not only the temporary buses in terms of the rentals that were just approved today and in a previous meeting, well, not the previous meeting, that was done through the purchasing director, but also the meeting where you approved the additional buses that we're actually buying. As you know, we, we struggle a little bit. To be fair, we did get a significant setback because of the Protero situation. And we've had some issues with coolants with our engines and we're doing overhauls on our engines as well. So we are climbing out of this. We have adjusted our schedules to, to make sure that we can meet the, the requirements of the, of our needs on a daily basis. And we are climbing out of this. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We're going to do reports. Let's go around the desk. 30 seconds, 60 seconds. No, I'm just joking. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And because Corey was there, I just wanted to make comments about, um, tops and where I stand and what is progressing. And I like the meeting we recently had since I firsthand experience with the tops program. I wanted to make sure that it's, there's 20 questions or 20 pages. I don't, 20 questions, right? 20 questions before you can access a certain service provided by tops. So in talking to Corey, I think we're down to six. Can you imagine going from 20 to six? It's awesome experience. I know she will be making a presentation to this body as to what was done to improve that service. I was brief, Mr. Mayor. Okay. So I had 20 pages to share about tops and how improved it has become. I want to also thank our county departments who worked tirelessly over these cold days and nights while we are comfortable fighting with our heaters, whether or not it's functioning or warming up, but they were out there making sure our residents were taken care of. And that to me is humanity at work. Because when I think about those that cannot understand why they're cold because they might have some mental health issues, that's why I asked the question. There are other things that impacts their lives, why they're not responding. How are we capturing that? So I look forward to that conversation later. Okay. Let me see what else I wanted to share. Other than me having fun, I like visiting other businesses. So I take great pride in stopping at the different restaurants or businesses in my district. And I look forward to doing so this weekend, Black History Month. It's also Reggae Month. So you know I'll be reggae-ing all over my district. Black History Celebration, Wearing My Colors. That's how I respect my culture. And looking forward to cultural division sponsored a lot of events that we can all share in. But Reggae Legend, Burning Spare, Third World, and Glen Washington are the artists I will be enjoying in the city of Hollywood. Not in my district now. But that's where the music is. That's where the people are going to be. That's what I'll be doing. We also have, I'm presenting the keys to the county at Reggae Genealogy. Okay. That is this coming, I think this coming Sunday, this coming Sunday in the city of Plantation. And I share that district with my other colleagues. But, you know, Reggae, Hazel Rogers will be there. So I thank you for listening and thank you for caring and thank you for all we do. We changed the lock on those keys. Just want to make sure you know. You're kidding. I will still go up and represent Broad County. Give them a bad key. County proudly. No, it will not be a bad key. There's no bad keys here. All right. But thanks for this proclamation support, Mr. Mayor. And also to my colleagues who I'll be hanging out with this weekend. Thank you. Senator Geller. We're in the process of scheduling my town meetings. I have one in every city I represent twice a year. And a reminder, if anybody wants to attend, we have quarterly, I'm sorry, every other month meetings here for the working group that I have trying to create jobs in the business trades. They are, since meetings are in chambers, publicly noticed. Any other commission that wants to attend is welcome. And that's all, Mr. Mayor. Commissioner Fisher. Yeah, I look forward to seeing Commissioner Rogers dance reggae around her district this month. So we want to see pictures and movies about that. Okay, Commissioner? Just a couple of things. I want to just, again, recognize Dave Deck, who was our executive director at the SFRTA Tri-Rail. I'm sure you heard and read the articles in the paper. But he really was a dynamic resource for us. And he will be sorely amiss. But we will carry on. And we will get someone in that position that will do a better job, hopefully. But Dave was just one of those persons you can really relate to. And he had such great relationships throughout the state and in the United States as well. So, Dave, you'll be missed. Congratulations to the Birch Park Finger Streets community. They celebrated on Sunday their 100th year celebration this past weekend. I want to thank Brian Donaldson, the president of that association. If nobody knows where that's at, if you go just south of Oakland, as you make that bend to on A1A, all those little old streets that are right on the ocean there, they've been there 100 years. I'm sure, Commissioner, you know that as well. So, it was nice to be a part of that. I also want to thank the DDA and Steve Hudson and Wayne Huizinga Jr. and all those who really donated a lot of funds to the Huizinga Park. We did a grand opening for that this past week or so. And I want to thank Broward County, Ms. Shapiro, for sitting under our bridge there. They were pretty happy to see that. Maybe we can do some more. We'll talk about that. But what in a park that is now and what the restaurant coming online is just going to be really dynamic there, too. So, enjoy it downtown here, just walking distance from our building. And then I want to thank our county administrator. Congratulate her, Ms. Shapiro, for being nominated as one of the 2026 Women Trailblazers by History Fort Lauderdale. And also, along that group, we have Jeanne Duncan-Ellis and Suzanne Higgins. So, well-deserved, as always. And just thank you for all you do for our county and representing us in so many aspects. And these awards really show what you do for our county. So, thank you, Ms. Shapiro. That's all I have. You know you pay for those. You know what you drive to the event. Thank you. We have a couple of major landmark plans and studies coming to fruition here that have been in the making for one for eight years and one for ten years. The Kristen Jacobs Aquatic Preserve Management Plan is right now looking at public review. This was one we actually went eight years ago on Broward days. And the Broward team went up there and passed that entire plan. For those who don't know, it puts the entire coral reef from Martin County all the way down to Miami-Dade County into a management plan, into a preserve. But it took eight years for it to put together a management plan where DEP and FWC and everybody else. But that is in the last stages of public review. So, if anybody has any final comments, you have just a couple more weeks on that. Likewise, with the Central and South Florida flood study, I think it's only got another couple weeks for open comments. I know Senator Geller has been very involved with that. But both of those have taken an enormous amount of work. And I think for all those, I know our resilient department was very involved on all of them. I just want to thank them for that because these are very important studies and plans that will be our legacy for this entire county. In addition, I want to commend Vice Mayor McKenzie. Nice job on the 50th art kickoff. Yeah. And, oh yeah, that thing. 50th anniversary of the Cultural Division's 50th anniversary arts kickoff. And for any of us going to any events, they've got those things we can take. I took it to the South Florida Folk and Acoustic. And it's a big thing that showcases because we fund a lot of these things. But a lot of people don't know we fund it. So, we can take those things, put it on the stage, leave it there for the, you know, for the... I took the little one. I don't know if I can get the big one in my car. Yeah, but you're supposed to go. He wants you to go a bunch of places. And then post it. That's the purpose. Not just one place. Oh, I know. I've gone on 50 places already. So, I'm telling you. Well, I went there and left it there. I was emceeing there. Yeah, take it. I was emceeing there. So, I put it... No, no, no. You got to take it around. You got to take it around. Okay. Well, there's plenty of places. And one of the places coming up is the Ignite February 13th is a signature event for the arts. That's going to be kicking off in Delavoe Park, I believe. Delavoe. Yep. And then in Dania Beach is where, if you guys haven't had a chance to see this, it is unbelievable. It is something very unique to the arts. And the fact that it's here in Broward County is fantastic. So, anybody who hadn't seen it, technology and art meet and have a good time. Anything else? Let's see. I think that's it. Oh, and on Sunday, at the concert, you were speaking up with Burning Spirit, Third World, and who else is going to be there? Yeah. That is a concert for Jamaica. Well, it's also for... There's... I think there's donations for the hurricane relief. Yeah. And, you know, as all of us who have been through hurricanes knows, the hurricane comes, the news, and then it's nobody's paying attention. I'm glad that we're still paying attention. And I know, Commissioner Davis, you've done an enormous amount of stuff on this. So, I'll be there saying a few words. Okay. Very good. Bring some change with you. That's what we say. I'll be quick. And thank you for that. I really appreciate it. You did a good job. I think we all do a lot, and this is not, for me, not the time to just go through all the things I did last weekend because there's so many and so many more to do. But what I found interesting this morning watching the news, Doug McGraw, who was the co-founder of Fat Village, that created all of this, the arts and development in what you see just north of us on Andrews all the way up to Federal Highway. He was commentating on the news this morning about one of our projects at the African American Library, which is Selma is Now. Selma is Now. But it's the display or the exhibit of Spider Martin, the photographer that took the pictures when they protested in Alabama. But these photos are the ones that were damaged, and they restored. So if you get an opportunity, it's going to be there until June 27th. I thought it would be nice to share with you because I saw it. I didn't go Sunday because I had something else to do at the same time. But I plan to go today with Doug McGraw to get his pictorial and history of why he participated in this. But Doug's a good friend of mine and will always be. But go by and see this display. And I'll be in your town Saturday night, Lamar. I'll be the speaker for Tiger Trail. I heard you're going to be there. If not, I'll bring you there. I have to be because I'm introducing you. Well, we're going to do it. We're doing it together. I'll read a line, then you'll read a line. I want to take a little different tack today. I mean, everyone has seen what's, you know, been on the TV and the news about ICE and what happened in Minneapolis. So I have a question about the fact that TPS is over today for the Haitian community. They just did it? Yep. They watch the news. Four in the morning. You get it. Well, I'm sorry. I didn't see it at four in the morning. Okay. Well, I did listen to Eileen Higgins, who's the new mayor of Miami, who was on yesterday. And I have to tell you, it's very frightening what she said. And when you think about it, no matter what population it is, and I guess we just have to keep watching, because, you know, in a flash, it can change the other way, too, because in a flash, now it's changed again. And that's what she said, and she closed by saying, actually, her remarks, you know, the president did this with a stroke of a pen. He can change it with a stroke of a pen. So, obviously, it's changed now. But there was this conversation by mayors from across different cities, and she talked a lot about the TPS because of the numbers of Haitians that live in Miami-Dade and, of course, in Broward County. And she was talking, like, upwards of $250,000,000, and mentioned all the different economic impact that it would have. And I had an opportunity to speak with our county attorney because we have some people working here that are concerned about it. So, I just wanted to know what, you know, is there anything that we are looking at in case we have any kind of a situation like this? I mean, obviously, this one is not going to happen now. So, they'll be, you know, not right now, right now, correct, correct. But, I mean, I'm just, you know, concerned that we'd be ready for something because I can't imagine that, unfortunately, Miami-Dade and Broward are not going to be included in this at some point with all the immigrants that we have, you know, living here and all the TPS, people that have TPS. So, I just wanted to throw that out and ask you to respond to it. So, yes, correct. It has been, I believe, by a judge's order, if I'm not mistaken, there was an injunction. That's how it got turned around. It wasn't the stroke of the pen. It was a different pen. Too bad. It was a different pen that made that happen. But you're right, and we continue to monitor both for our employees, Senator, as well as other enterprises that we have that are not necessarily Broward County employees, but that have employees, particularly in the airport. And so we've been keeping you posted on that for the airport activity. That is something that, obviously, the actual employers there are monitoring very closely as well as to see how that would be impacting their employees and, in turn, impacting operations. But we're looking at it from our employee standpoint as well and monitoring that through HR. And that was mentioned that there were a lot of employees at the airport. It's like 50 or 60 of them, at least through janitorial and baggage claim and different, you know, possibilities. So, I mean, it would be, I mean, someone needs to recognize to the people that are doing this the impact that it has economically. Absolutely. And to our businesses and counties and so forth, municipalities, so. I was going to say what a great job you did kicking off Broward Day's Tuesday night, but I'm going to leave that out for now. But you did a good job. The Tuesday night event at IMAX, the mayor spoke and the county administrator spoke. And actually, they got good reviews, so let me take that out, though. I just want to recognize Representative. I just want to recognize Representative Michael Gottlieb. He pretty much leads the charge up there on the Federation Caucus with, you know, Israeli Remembrance Day and a few things. And they did it the Tuesday of Broward Day's. They did a big event up there, and Representative Gottlieb received an award from the group. And he's really led the charge up there in Tallahassee, and I think it deserves to be mentioned. So I'm glad to have mentioned that. February 14th, obviously Valentine's Day. But in my district, it's also a very, very difficult day for Northwest Broward. It's the eighth anniversary of the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Tying this into what we talked about in Tallahassee, because the city of Coral Springs, the city of Parkland, and Broward County administration was up in Tallahassee. Because there are a couple bills that are percolating around up there dealing with the E911. And the city of Parkland doesn't really like it. The city of Coral Springs doesn't really like it. And lo and behold, the city of Broward, the county of Broward doesn't really like it. So I know that they were up walking the halls on that and got good feedback that we can maybe massage those in the right direction to help us in Broward County. I do know, and I'm probably worse than anybody up here with this, we like things to move really fast. And government doesn't really move as fast as the private sector. But we're very close on the hub connectivity, I'm going to call it, for lack of a better word. I know Motorola's been working on it, it's been a little bit of a while, but I think that a lot of progress has been made to make these 911 hubs connective. It's a lot more to it, I've learned over the past few years. I know they're coming up with testing very soon. The city of Parkland was very happy, Coral Springs was happy. And just a shout out to our team that does this, Tracy, I guess, and the Motorola crew, they're working hard on that. And I know they have an opening coming up of something else in April, but we're going to talk about the connectivity there, and I'm glad to see the progress has been made. Because it's a very, very important thing for public safety all over the nation, and we could probably lead the way on that. You know, sometimes when they have these committee meetings, and they talk about things, and they blast us down here in Broward County, I think we only have three areas that aren't totally connected on the 911 platform. Some of the people that were blasting us in other parts of the state of Florida have 15 or 16 within their county that aren't connected, yet we were the bad guys, or bad gals, so to speak. So I'm glad that we're able to lead the way so that the rest of the state will be able to piggyback off our expertise to hopefully make connectivity on that. And just a good job by our administrative team to make that happen. Eight years is too long. You'd probably say it's too long. We all think it's too long, but government takes a long time when it comes with some of this kind of stuff. I'm just glad it's done. And finally, Broward County resident Tyler Gaffleone won the Pegasus Cup, the 13th race at Gulfstream, last Saturday. We had him here because he was the jockey of the year. I saw your photograph. Yeah, well, that was from a while ago. That was when he was driving there. No, that wasn't that day, but he was there, but I saw him. Yeah. He's in every picture possible. Yeah, so Tyler won the Pegasus Cup on his horse, and Skippy Longstocking won, paid like 19 to 1, so that was a good thing, too. And just Visit Lauderdale was all over the finish line. They got a lot of great publicity on that, and they did a fantastic job with that, and it was really well done. Thank you. Visit Lauderdale like three times. I know we responded, but they kept doing it. So they do it all the time, like when especially it's at Gulfstream. Gulfstream is in Broward County, but it's picked part of it, right, part of it. But I have to tell you, Visit Lauderdale sponsored the Fred Hooper Stakes, which was the eighth race. I didn't go through Visit Lauderdale. I just went on my own. But Visit Lauderdale does great stuff there. They got a lot of publicity, a lot of room nights. But they do make it kind of Miami-centric when they're doing some of the stuff there. They work with Groot Hospitality, big out. But there were a lot of Broward teams there. Drift, the big restaurant group, the big hospitality group, Dev Matwani. I saw him and some of his people there. So good stuff, and it's really the highlight of racing other than the Kentucky Derby, and it's here. Commissioner Davis. Thank you. We'll get to you. As with everybody else, we were quite busy in District 7. I'd like to recognize the work that the Parks Department has done under Dan West for the installation of the first community boards at the park in Murmur Pineland Park, which is very crucial for folks with autism and other related disabilities. They can point to pictures if they're nonverbal and get the help that they need in the parks. Also, I'd like to thank the Cultural Division under Phil Danlop because of the work that he's doing getting the grants to where they need to go. So a lot of the events that we're participating in over the Reagan month period and black history, they have been instrumental in giving matching grants for those. So we're appreciative of that. Community Resource Fair in Murmur under Vice Mayor Yvette Coburn was a success. Staff visited that. And the Visit Lauderdale Food and Wine Festival was another hit this year. I attended the Grand Tasting and staff, went to the Barbecue Beach event, a very good event. And Stacey Ritter is recommended on making sure that we had quite a bit of visibility there. Obviously, the name in itself says Visit Lauderdale Food and Wine Festival. For our days, we talked about, I'd like to thank Marty Cassini. It's not easy being able to set up these meetings, but he did set up quite a few for me. And then, obviously, I was only there for a day and a half. So maybe more time would have afforded me to meet more people. And finally, again, hosted by Commissioner Eddie Edwards and Vice Mayor Coburn, City of Miramar Best of Jamaica Awards, and Jamaicans.com founder Xavier Murphy. Just recognize a lot of Jamaican businesses that are doing well in the diaspora and around. So, thanks again, and I look forward to seeing many of you at our Black History events and our Reggae Month events. Hold on. Hold on. I've got to just do a mayor's report. I've got about 20 minutes here. I just wanted to say, Monica, I kid a lot. You guys may hear I joke a lot around with Monica. But, you know, we're at Broward Days. You really do a great job. And you represent our county well. And I'm really thankful that you have so many contacts because it's important up in Tallahassee. And so you know that I'm kidding around with you. And stop that. But I really appreciate what you do. And I think you really are a great asset for the county and what you do up there. Thank you so much. Let's go do reports. Mr. Melton, I know that you've been biting at your tongue to say something. But was it already said? One time. All right. All right. Good to see you, sir. County attorney? Nothing. No major reports. I think that we have one other thing. I would like to do a group picture with Dr. Watson. If you don't mind, come on up here. We do a quick group picture. Do you have a report? I do. Okay. You said she's great. Come on. What more can you say? All right. Let her do her report. Dr. Mike. All right. Just thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thanks for your kind remarks. And thank you, all of you, for your support. But I'm still going to tease the heck out of you. That's fine. I can take it. I'll give it right back. But thank you for your support. I want you to mention about your daughter, please. Oh, thank you. So, yeah. So, thank you, Senator Reg. So, yeah. My daughter was in her a cappella team. They finished. All right. Thank you for your comments. Now let's go to the picture. Overall in the quarterfinals of the international competition for a cappella. And so now they're moving on to the semifinals for the international competition. So, it'll be at the end of March in Raleigh. So, thank you for that. But thank you. But honestly, the comments about, you know, talking about me, it's really about the team. Because without, you all know, without an outstanding, the positive. Here's what I, here's something you, I know you know about me. I will give credit and take blame. So, it is the truth. It is about supporting the team. And thank you. Because all the good stuff that we do is because of the amazing team we have here in the county. And under your leadership, collectively. Of course, Kevin really is the anchor there, I understand. Don't worry about it. And where's Michael Ruiz? If I can quickly just say, I want to make sure that we get to announce the, at Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach, it's the 16th century, the Renaissance Festival. It starts on February 7th. It goes all the way through March 29th. Just want to make sure you all, if you haven't had a chance to check out RenFest, it's quite the site. I've been there. It's pretty interesting. The, the other thing you mentioned about Ignite, that starts on, also on February 13th through the 22nd. Commissioner Furr, you mentioned all of the sites. It's a really great thing. The kickoff is at Delaveau. I would love to see you all there. It's going to be really cool this year again. And then, lastly, on the, on that recognition, Commissioner, that you mentioned, the, the trailblazer thing, that, that's a really cool thing. I did just find out about it. So, you probably found out when I did. But, but thank you. But what's really neat about that is they match each of the women that are going through this and that have been recognized with someone from the past in Broward County, a historical figure. And they happen to match me up with Ann Kolb from our park, a lot of restoration and preservation of our park system here in Broward County. So, that was pretty cool. So, we get to have a celebration of someone from the past that has done a lot of great things for Broward. So, thank you. And thank you all for your support of the collective team. That's it. Your camera? Okay.
