So you may want to. If everybody can please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. And if you want to put somebody by the front of the microphone. If you want to get some of them right in front of the microphone. Who wants to be in front of the microphone? Go. Go for it. Whenever you're ready, go ahead. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. So the troop's going to stay here. Everybody else can be seated. So now we have a lot of people here, but we're going to go through and we're going to have every single one of you tell us your name and if you can tell us your age and what school you go to. How about that? Okay. So however you want to start, I'm going to ask you to help lead them, help push them through. My name is Leah Miller and I'm 10 years old and I go to American Heritage Schools. Thank you. My name is Stucklin Curtis and I am eight years old and I go to American Heritage School. My name is Eric Breton. I'm nine years old and I go to St. Gregory the Great Catholic School. My name is Lorenzo Federici. I am nine years old and I go to Tropical Elementary Schools. My name is Julian Castilla and I am 10 years old and I go to Plantation Park Elementary School. I'm Mateo Lopez and I'm seven and a half a year old and I go to St. Gregory the Great School. I'm Henry Kraske. I'm 13 years old and I go to Seminole Middle School. My name is Luca Franco. I'm 12 years old and I go to St. David Catholic School. My name is Noah and I I'm 13 and I go to St. David Catholic School. My name is Alexander Thompson. I'm 13 years old and I go to Bear Middle School. My name is Quinn Robbins. I'm 11 years old and I go to New River Middle School. My name is Joseph Janney and I'm 11 years old and I go to New River Middle School. Is that everybody? Did everybody go? I want to make sure we didn't leave anybody out. Can we get a round of applause for these this group? What I what I'd like to share is that it's amazing to have the scouts here in front of us not just because it gives them an opportunity to see how local government works but it also gives the public an opportunity to see this great organization and the great opportunities that are afforded our our children our youth our future leaders here in the city of plantation and these students are attending schools really throughout the city. We have public and private schools and a great co-ed mix of students here and what I wanted to speak about tonight and I'm gonna let you guys stay here while I give the opening remarks because I want to make sure that you hear it. So I recently had the opportunity to attend a meeting of PAC 817 and some of the scouts that are here in front of us were were attending that meeting and I was there specifically to answer some questions regarding public service and talk about good citizenship and our rights and responsibilities and and duties to our country and to our city and all the scouts that attended were very attentive many of them asked very good questions and our discussions and their demonstrated knowledge was part of what is necessary for the Weeblos among them to earn a citizen activity badge. Some of you may know that term Weeblos I didn't know it before but it's actually an acronym for will be loyal scouts and so those that were working on that particular citizen activity badge had to ask some questions and they did and they did a good job. But what I also wanted to share tonight as part of my remarks is the Scout Oath that I heard them recite at the start of their meeting. So as of 2025 in the United States there's approximately five hundred and eighty nine thousand two hundred and fifty three youth members in the Cub Scouts. That's K through fifth. As of 2025 there was a total Scouting America youth that's all of all ages of just over a million. All of the Scouts take the Scout Oath. Is that right Councilmember Fadgen? So to state the obvious not all of our youth in this country become Scouts and therefore not all of our youth take the Scout Oath. So while you can find the entire Oath online and I've also put it up and thank you Ms. Beggereau for putting it up on the screen for us. I'm going to read it for us right here tonight and if you are a Scout whether you are standing in front of me or you're in the audience or even on the dais you are welcome to to join join with me. On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout law to help other people at all times to keep myself physically strong mentally awake and morally straight. I don't know about you but I think that's amazing. I think those are wonderful words to live by and it is a oath that I hope that these students these Scouts will will keep with them for a very long time. Along with the Oath is a 12-point Scout law which is referenced in the Oath. Each law is a goal for every Scout. A Scout tries to live up to the law every day. Again, you can read the entirety of the points and their descriptions online or on the screen but I want to share with everyone here the 12 points and some of the descriptions provided for each. Number one, be trustworthy. That's tell the truth and keep promises. Number two, loyal. Be loyal. Show that you care about your family, friends, Scout leaders, school and country. Number three, helpful. Volunteer to help others without expecting a reward. Four, friendly. Be a friend to everyone, even people who are very different from you. Five, courteous. Be polite to everyone and always use good manners. Six, kind. Treat others as you want to be treated. Seven, obedient. Follow the rules of your family, school and PAC. Obey the laws of your community and country. Eight, cheerful. Look for the bright side of life. Nine, thrifty. Try not to be wasteful. Use time, food, supplies and natural resources wisely. Ten, brave. Do what you think is right despite what others might be doing or saying. Eleven, clean. Keep your body and mind fit. Help keep your home and community clean. And twelve, reverent, which is respect the belief of others. I do not think you have to be a Scout to find these points meaningful and supportive of the way we want to see people act to us, with us, and around us. I leave these with us tonight as I think we can all learn a lot from the Scouts. Thank you to the Scouts for striving to live up to the Scout laws every day. And thank you to their parents for believing in the importance of being a good neighbor and a good person. Thank you, Scouts. Scouts, while you are, welcome to stay for the rest of the meeting. I am sure that you probably have homework and probably need a good night's sleep so you don't have to stay. But thank you very much for joining us tonight. Thank you very much. Bye, everyone. Thanks for coming. Thank you, Councilmember Einstein. We will wait until everyone files out. Items submitted by the Mayor. Do Mayor, do you have anything besides the proclamation? I am going to defer my proclamation to Council President Horland. Thank you, sir. And I am going to sit here on my chair and enjoy this. Thank you, sir. At this time, I would like to ask the South Plantation High School bowling team and their coach, Jennifer Collins, and their assistant coaches to please join me at the podium. So, council and public, I just want to say when my eldest son started at South Plantation High School in 2011, Mr. Michael Collins was the athletic director and I was tasked with starting an athletic foundation at the school. And he said to me then, my wife wants to start a bowling team here. And it took a few more years to do it. But when you listen to this proclamation and hear just what Broward County Bowling Coach of the Year Jennifer Collins has done with this team and what these talented athletes have done is quite impressive. And that's why they're here tonight. So, if you will. Whereas, bowling is one of the fastest growing high school sports with nearly 200 colleges offering programs, roughly half of which provide scholarships. And whereas, the South Plantation High School Bowling Program was formed in 2019. And whereas, due to the circumstances surrounding the COVID pandemic, the Paladin's first real season was in 2021-2022, where the girls team was named both BCAA and district champions. And whereas, the girls repeated that feat again for the 2022-23 season. And whereas, the girls bowling team continued to strengthen for the next two years, placing first in districts with individual bowler Josh, Josh Collins, finishing first in the district for both the 2022-23 and 23-24 seasons. And whereas, as a senior last year, Collins was named both Broward and Dade County Bowler of the Year and is the first bowler from South Plantation High School to continue playing at the collegiate level with a scholarship to Judson University in Elgin, Illinois. And whereas, for the past three years, the Lady Paladins have consistently taken the first and second spots in districts. And whereas, for the 2025-26 season, senior Sofia Montefusco finished first and Christian Dixon finished second in districts with the team once again placing first in district competition, earning a spot at the state tournament. And whereas, the team finished 16th in the state with Montefusco making it into the top 16 bowlers in Florida. And whereas, Sofia Montefusco was named 2025-26 Bowler of the Year by both the Sun Sentinel and the Miami Herald. And whereas, Christina Dixon, Reese Mativa, Madison Quarra earned first team honors and Braden Smith earned second team honors and Jennifer Collins was named co-coach of the year. And whereas, with John McDivitt's second place finish in districts, this was the first year that the Paladins had a member of the boys team place in districts and qualify for the state tournament. And whereas, the tenacity and skill of the bowlers is only matched by the dedication of the boys and girls coach, and she does it all, Jennifer Collins, who has been recognized by the Sun Sentinel and Miami Herald as coach of the year in 2021, 24, and 25. And now, therefore, Nick Sorter, Mayor, and the City Council of Plantation, Florida, do hereby proclaim February 25th, 2026 as South Plantation Bowling Team Day in the City of Plantation, and call upon the residents to join us as we celebrate the accomplishments of these South Plantation High School athletes. Thank you all very much. And I'd like to introduce my assistant, my husband, Michael Collins. So, it was a dream to establish this team. When I started, I had about 28 players my first year, and everyone ever coached that I was crazy carrying on such a big team. But I wanted to build the program, and I have done just that, and I'm pretty proud of what we've done both on the boys and the girls team. And I look forward to many more years to being successful, I guess. And also, Mike, and we also have another assistant coach, Roger, who has been ill lately. They work with kind of more of like the developmental pieces of things, and I just do more of the paperwork. But, all in all, it's a lot of work, and we keep these kids on task, and practice away, and proud of them. Super, super proud of them. So, thank you all. Would the paladins on the dais like to join us for the photo? Okay. We've got paladins in the back, too. Let's turn around, we're going to build a photo. Come to the middle. Let's, let's, uh... And some of you, like, maybe come here. Yeah. Is that Neil, Neil, Neil? Good in here? I thought he was drunk. She was like, she was surprised. Oh, good. Everybody look back. Everybody look back. Yeah, come on, boss. Principal Rees, come join us. Come on, Principal Rees. Thank you for being here. That's a lot of damage. Yeah. We got him? Wonderful. And point of privilege, um, since I'm president of the council, could we get IT Director John Monofusco and his Buller of the Year, Sophia, to get a family photo up here, please? Is your wife up here? Yeah. Grandparents. Okay. Obviously, talent is not hereditary. Yeah. He's a golfer. Hey. Hey. Wait, wait, wait for mom? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Get your mascot back out there. Hey, wait, wait, wait. Hey, set your mascot back out there. Uh, you want one with the mascot? Okay, you want the mascot? Yeah, where's the mascot? And you, where are you? Where are you? Yeah, come on, come on. You want my cat? I want it over there. Yeah, let's go. Yay, the mascot! Oh, we got his grandma's hair. Come on. My grandma. Hi. Can I sneak in here? Yeah, you're sneaking there. Can I sneak in here? Over there. Where should I go? We're all over the place. All right, here we go. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, Pam, did you get it? Hold on one more. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. All right. Thanks, Steve. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Everyone files out. Okay, everyone can take their seats. We now have an exciting update from our Parks and Recreation Director, Ms. Trisha O'Toole. Go ahead. Good evening.

At this time, we'll now recess the City Council meeting and call to order the CRA meeting. So, recessed at 6.24. Ms. Beggereau, will you please call the roll for the CRA? Commissioner Anderson? Here. Commissioner Andreu? Present. Commissioner Fadgen? Here. Commissioner Horland? Here. Commissioner Reinstein? Here. Commissioner Sortel? Here. City Attorney Ezra? Here. Thank you, Ms. Beggereau. The CRA Consent Agenda consists of Items 1 through 3 and may be approved with one motion. And does any member of the Commission wish to pull an item? Okay. Any member of the public? Hearing none. The – we have a – Motion to approve. Second. Do we have a second? Thank you. Ms. Beggereau, please call the roll. Commissioner Anderson? Yes. Commissioner Andreu? Yes. Commissioner Fadgen? Yes. Commissioner Horland? Yes. Commissioner Reinstein? Yes. Commissioner Sortel? Yes. Thank you. Public request of the Commissioners regarding the CRA. Mr. Conklin, I see you filled out a form. Welcome, sir. Dennis Conklin, 4581 Northwest 6 Court. Heavenly hosts protect you and all of your family. My request has to do with possibly locating ollies in the Gateway 7 or the CRA district. I know it's a tight squeeze, but they seem to be moving further and further south. And they move south in progression of basically cities about 20 miles from each other. And so they did Palm Beach County. Now they're in Delray Beach. And guess what? We're 20 miles from Delray Beach. Just a thought. Also, Kong He Pa Choy last week was Chinese New Year. I was away with my family enjoying the year of the fire horse. I got to see, up in Orlando, H Mart. I don't know if you've ever heard of it. I never did. Just opened their first store in Florida last year in September. And they started out in Queens, New York, of all places, in 1982. The store, H stands for Han a Reum, which means an armful of groceries. The store was 183,000 square feet. Now, I know that won't fit in the district. But you got that doggone Broward Mall, and it's been sitting there for over a dozen years. And it might be a candidate for that. So I'd like to also make one last request. When you demolish the Plantation General Hospital, please keep the limit of three stories high for replacement construction. And I yield back my time. Thank you, Mr. Conklin. Any other public requests of the commission for the CRA, not the City Council? Hearing none, the CRA meeting is now adjourned at 627. And the City Council meeting will reconvene at the same time, 627. All right. And now we will begin with public requests of the council regarding municipal affairs. Mr. Conklin, you're back up, sir. Dennis Conklin. I live at the corner of Park East Drive and Northwest Sixth Court. Let me get to it here. Well, I have my usual sheet of seven requests. Primarily, request number one is pray for the people that have taken over certain positions that need to respect America. 666 days of intifada has been occurring now in the United States. But 666, that's kind of an evil number. Started on college campuses. It spread to cities. We'd like to request that the city declare Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, care as terrorist organizations, which the president has, our governor has. And I don't think it would be a heavy lift for the council to follow suit. 168 days ago, Charlie Kirk, the Christian martyr, was assassinated. There's been three attempts on the president's life, beginning 586 days ago and as early as, as lasting as 118 days. 2,175 days ago, we lost our unalienable God-given rights due to the lockdown from the public health emergency, which still has not been lifted. Gold closed today at $5,170, 30 cents an ounce. For the last 13 months, it's up $2,395, 80 cents. I keep mentioning this because we have 300,000, according to the last CAFR, over $300 million sitting in bonds and CDs and cash. It's losing its purchase power. In just 13 months, gold would have preserved that almost 89% of purchasing power. We've lost, but it would have preserved it. With the passage of the law that is going to create legal tender, constitutional currency in Florida, I want you to pay particular attention to the statute's sandbox period because that's when they're going to be working out the rules to follow. And where the city's sitting on all this kind of sources and resources, I think you're going to want to find out how to get your stuff into real, valuable, biblical money. Let's see. Oh, you'll be back. Oh, if I may. You're going to be discussing about the electric cars, and I'll speak to that when it comes up. I see that you asked to that. Thank you, Mr. Conklin. All right. Next up, we have Jaden Stevenson, and then on deck will be Matthew McLum. Mr. Stevenson. And since you're a minor, I'm going to ask you just to state your name and your school, and you do not have to put your address on the record. All right. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Jaden Stevenson, a junior at Plantation High School, a proud junior, I should say, at Plantation High School, a colonel for life. So I'm here for two things. One, I'm here to talk about a club at my school called Mentoring Tomorrow's Leaders, MTL. It is a foundational, pivotal club at my school that was created with the goal of increasing the GPA in the graduation rates originally of black males about a little less than 20 years ago. Since then, it has now expanded to include everyone at Plantation High School and has helped so much people. Plantation is actually the founding school of its time, and then it was BA, and then now it has expanded to over 34 schools. So I'm really here to advocate for y'all's support and also to use us. We do a lot of volunteering, and I want to get more of my members engaged in the political atmosphere that goes on. So I'm pleased to invite some of them to come down here to Plantation City Hall, but first I had to do it myself because you have to lead. You cannot have a leadership. You have to have a good leadership to have a good followership, and that's what I learned today. I was actually at a meeting today until 5 p.m. Oh, actually, I should say, I was at a meeting until 4.15. Then we had an executive board meeting right after until about 5.40, so then I had to drive over here. So it's a lot of work. But we are dedicated to the cause always and forever. On March 28th, I'm planning a family fun day, and all of you will get invites. I want all of our council members to come. Along with that, we have a long list of volunteering ahead of us. On March 14th at Merlick Elementary, we're volunteering to help with the Justice Project, a non-profit. They are having a bring-your-own-bag school supplies giveaway. We'll be volunteering for that. And then over spring break from March 16th to March 20th, we have partnered with Broward County. They're having a second annual Swim into Spring event, so a lot of our members will be getting critical swimming lessons because not everybody can swim, but it's very important to have. So that's what I wanted to talk about. All of you will be getting an invite for March 28th for our Family Fun Day event. Along with that, I wanted to, for a more personal stance, I was recently invited to join in on the intensive law and trial program hosted at Stanford Law School in partnership with Envision by World Strides, but I have to be honest, I simply can't afford it. So I'm looking here to hear some of your recommendations on how I can raise the funds for that. That trip has a baseline cost of $5,699. I'm a passionate person. I'm passionate when it comes to law, civil advocacy, political spirit, all of that. So this is right up my alley, but I'm trying to look for some more support from you all to hear what you have, not necessarily just for your money, but for your ear, because a lot of you, all of you have networks, all of you have connections. So if any of you could use that to help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. And as much as you pour into me, I plan to pour back into the city and back into my community. So thank you. Thank you, Jaden. And council and mayor, I know many of us know Jaden, boy, South Plantation and Plantation High School are producing some amazing students, aren't they? So we've been impressed with your leadership, and we had a conversation about coming here. I know just as we've done with the JROTC members from Plantation High School, they've gotten more involved in the community with volunteer efforts. So what you wanted to do tonight, just to put that out there, what I'm going to do is I'm going to send you everyone's contact information, email, so you can send us those invitations. And then I'm sure that my colleagues will put their heads together and see if there's some ways that we can suggest that could help. The mayor has buzzed in, and then Councilmember Reinstein. When is the Stanford event, and when is the deadline for applying? So the Stanford event takes place summer 2026. The deadline for applying, I believe, is, let me see, I have it here on my phone. It's March 18th, so I'm trying to do what I can before that date, so I can still attend. Thank you. Okay. All right. Councilmember Reinstein. So in terms of that last question, first, Mr. Stevenson, thank you for being here. I think that MTL is an amazing program. As you may recall, I was at the induction ceremony, and I've been to a number of their events. I want to particularly also thank Mr. Scott, Randy Scott, who is your coordinator, is an amazing individual, and does so much for our students. So please make sure you let him know that he was recognized as well. When you do reach out to us each individually, let's also talk about how we can reach out to the legal community, and see how we can get some of maybe our local law firms to assist you, if that's possible. And you may want to check that in terms of, since that deadline is coming up, and it may be difficult to obtain, you know, the total amount by the time that you need it, is whether or not you could register without a penalty, if you had to withdraw for some reason, so that you make sure that you get in on that deadline. So I urge you to just double-check that information. Okay. Thank you very much for that advice, and I will make sure to tell Mr. Randy Scott that you spoke about him. He'll greatly appreciate it. Thank you. And I'll send you those email addresses, and just remember that you need to address each of us individually, so when you send that out, okay? Absolutely. And thank you for the invite here in the first place. Thank you very much for coming, Jason. Well done. All right. Next up, Mr. Matt McAloon, and behind him will be Seth Fulensby. Mr. McAloon. Good evening, sir. Hello there. How are you? Good. How are you doing? Good. Good evening, councilmembers, mayors. It's good to see all of you again. It's been a long time since I've been here. My name is Matt McAloon, 9881 Northwest First Court and Plantation. I serve as a board member and president of Chatham Town at Jacarenda Condominium Association. Our community consists of 14 buildings, 132 units. We are in the Central Park area of Plantation. I'm also serving as the president of the Jacarenda Central Park Recreational Association, as well as the director of the Central Park Master Association. I want to thank everybody who has spoken with us. We have an issue, and again, just having the ability to talk to you is important, and I thank you all for that. But we're facing approximately $605,249 in liens fees that were incurred in relationship to the 40-year inspection. I believe this would be consistent. Other associations have been able to get these fees waived, reduced. We're not opposed to presenting our case to magistrate or whatever. However, our concern, of course, though, is our residents. We have a lot of people living on fixed incomes. To go before the magistrate with 14 buildings, the fee to do that is $7,000. We, from the outset, our board acted early and in good faith. In May 2024, before the enforcement began, we had secured $250,000 through a combination of assessments and reserves. We went to engage an engineering firm, engaged a contractor. Like a lot of associations statewide, we encountered a shortage of qualified people. It was hard to get people to come. The first contractor that we had, not the contractor, but the first engineer that we had, gave us a presentation, started the inspections, but the inspections sort of went off the rail. Things they were asking us to do were not things that were required as part of the 40-year inspection. We got rid of that engineering firm. We engaged a new engineering firm, and we have consistently applied ourselves to meet these goals and deadlines. The city's objective is compliance, safety and compliance, and we've met that. It hasn't been easy. We had to hit our residents for additional fees. To hit them with another $7,000 to put it before the magistrate, I'm going to say I think it's punitive. I don't think that our association has done anything that deserves to be punished. We have, in good faith, at every step of the way, made every effort to comply with the city's requirements, and I don't know what ability you have, but anything that you folks could do to help us would certainly be appreciated. So, Mr. McAloon, first of all, thank you for the detailed information that you sent to each of us. And as I committed to you, I did bring this to council, and there was a consensus on the dais. We asked administration to bring this on to a future agenda after staff complete some work. But I've spoken to Mr. Nonamaker, and I'd like to ask him to come up, and he has an update for us. Thank you. You're welcome. Good evening. Jason Nonamaker, CAO. Administration has been working with the city attorney's office on this, as well as the building department. And as the gentleman stated, compliance is the goal with regard to 40-year inspections. I mean, we view these as kind of singular in nature as to the impact they're having on our residents. I think we've got a couple paths forward here. One concern expressed has been regarding the $500 fee and how that's applied. After more discussion, I think we have the ability to administratively interpret that where we could accept an application on behalf of those 14 buildings under one fee if they wanted to go before the magistrate. The other aspect are the fines themselves and the interest. One of the things in doing the research, the city attorney pointed out that back sometime subsequent to the 08 financial crisis, the code was modified to allow some additional latitude regarding the foreclosures. So we kind of view this as a similar type of crisis, if you will. It's certainly not discreet to these folks. You all have heard it through a variety of forums. So we do plan on taking a code amendment. If there's patience for that, we can wait and have that processed administratively. If you would like to move forward, we can offer them an interpretation that we can treat all 14 buildings under a single application. It can go to magistrate, along with a letter of support from administration for the maximum amount of relief net of administrative expenses, because our goal is compliance on these matters. So either way, either path, we can move forward. We do intend to come forward with a code amendment, but I understand that it's kind of an albatross hanging all over their neck. So we're good either way, whichever path they choose. So just to be clear, thank you, Mr. Nunnemaker, for that. We could go ahead and begin to offer relief by going through the magistrate process with the 500, one single $500 application. Yes, ma'am. And start to move this along. Okay, I'm going to let my- You answered my question. Thank you. Council Member Weinstein and then Mr. McAloon, I'd like to ask you if that would be amenable. Mr. Nunnemaker, if you can go back to your comments regarding a code amendment? Yes, sir. So if there was to be a code amendment that would relate to the situation that is here before us, what would that look like? It would basically increase the authority for administration in this particular circumstance, specifically related to 40-year inspections, to increase the authority to 100% net of expenses. So we would still seek to recover the out-of-pocket expenses of the city, but that is typically very nominal. I don't want to quote exact figures, but approximately maybe a few hundred to $1,000 per building. We're not talking a big fine, particularly in the context of the overall fine. May I, Council President? So if we were to take that forward, we're talking about 14 buildings are at issue? Yes, sir. And I don't want you to put a number out there without having actually spent a little more time on it. But what it sounds like to me is that there could be an ability to assist and to respond to this situation without the uncertainty of going to the magistrate. And so whether, would that then require that an extension be granted for the code case, right, before the magistrate, so that the amendment and potentially call it a settlement offer could be discussed? Is that how you see that option? Yes, sir. So let's say they said, well, yeah, we can be a patient for a month or so, let you all get the code change done. We could reach out to, we could set the magistrate further in the future so that didn't become an issue. I'm not even sure if there's a pending case there because they're already in fine status. So at this time, they're just accumulating additional penalties. So would it be a stay of the fine status or? No, but look, just to be clear, it's not our intent to recover anything beyond the costs incurred by the city. Nothing, to the extent that we've had the conversations, nothing has indicated they've been untoward in their effort. Correct. I'm sorry? Yep. Go ahead, Gary. Mr. Ezra. So, excuse me for interrupting, but if we're dealing with an order of the magistrate that is certified a fine that is over 30 days, it's not appealable. The magistrate has no jurisdiction to modify that. It is a lien that runs in favor of the city, in favor of the governing body. You, as the governing body, do have the authority to amend the code to deal with the issue as being described. But to stay the order now would really not be something that you have the authority to do. So then maybe I just need a little further clarification. You don't need to. Oh. Because there's nothing pending with the magistrate. He's already acted. He's already acted. So the fine is increasing, but there's nothing untoward about the actions they took, and there's frankly nothing unusual, particularly as he described, working with an engineer, identifying things that don't have to be addressed as part of the 40-year, having to deal with that, having to get somebody new. Well, because they've already taken the steps that they've described. Is it only the fine that is at issue, or is this amendment that you're discussing something that they even need to be thinking about and needs to be dealed with concurrently? Not only to the extent if they want to. There's a little more variability in what they might encounter with the magistrate, and that's not a slam against the magistrate. So if they want to go through administration for the relief, then they would want to be patient and wait for the code modification, which will come, I would say, within the next month or two. And then would the fine still need to come back to us? No, sir. Not at all. Because we would exercise that relief, and that's what y'all will see in the proposed code amendment. So I guess really the next question is in terms of what the... Okay, I'm going to let Councilmember Fadgen in, and then we'll... So are we at a point where they can go back to the magistrate and request the reduction of the... No. Or beyond that, we need a coach. No, they could, because now they can go back and seek the fee reduction. There were two different issues. The first issue they were encountering is the $7,000 fine, or not fine, but the application fee, because technically there's 14 legal entities. Right, which could, you know, represent 25 to 50 percent of what their potential fines are for each of those... I'm sorry, our incurred costs for each of those buildings. I think that... In our interpretation, we can handle this in one fell swoop. And when we had this discussion before, we wanted to be careful that all this stuff wouldn't just fall on the Council. So one of the elements is, obviously, I don't think we need a $500 application fee for each building in a community like this when they're working collectively. I do believe we had one where there was kind of individual homeowners associations at one point. So that might be a different matter. But one fee for the community, I think, is where the path we need to go to minimize their cost to do this, because... Well, and I think the bottom line, too, is we have a magistrate process in place. We don't want to circumvent that. So it seems to me that the most prudent way to proceed for Chatham is if you can be patient for the month, Mr. McAloon, and then we get the Code Amendment in place, and then we can go for administrative relief. Do I understand that, Mr. McAloon? Mr. McAloon, it's your public time, so... I appreciate your consideration. Obviously, that would be a very generous offer. Thirty days is certainly doable. Our concern, of course, is that during this time, since the lien has been filed, there has been an issue with people buying and selling and putting mortgages on their property. So absolutely, we appreciate it, and we will certainly do whatever we have to do to comply and work with you. But that is the only concern that I have as far as time goes. Okay, and I would suggest that you be in contact with Mr. Nunnamaker if there are any further details that need to be worked out. Okay, great. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. Mr. Follinsby, you still want to get up and speak on this? Okay. All right. Thank you very much for coming tonight. We'll try to get this done as quickly as we can. Thank you, gentlemen. Are there any other members of the public that would like to speak before the Council this evening? Great. Hearing none, then Council comments are now closed. And we'll move on to the consent agenda, which consists of items 1 through 10. Mr. Conklin has asked that item number 1 be pulled. Does any member of the Council wish to pull an item? No? Okay. Do I have a motion? Motion to approve the consent agenda items 2 through 10. Do we have a second? Second. All right. Ms. Beggro, would you please call the roll? Councilmember Anderson? Yes. Councilmember Andreu? Yes. Councilmember Fajan? Yes. Councilmember Reinstein? Yes. Councilmember Horland? Yes. All right. Mr. Conklin, where'd you go? Item number 1 is a resolution approving the 2nd Amendment to the agreement with B-Free LLC, doing business as freebie. Dennis Conklin, 458-1 Northwest 6 Court, if I may approach. Yes, sir. I took the wrong props up for the public request. Oh, this is from earlier. This deals with the B-Free, it's free electric car transportation. I'm asking you to pull the plug on the free electric car transportation system with its stampeding, not creeping, annual cost schedule. It starts out with the Midtown, and then it goes to the west, and then it goes to the east. Excuse me. That portion is going to run $791,427,000.78 a year. And then they have an add-on senior program that will add another $527,618.52 a year, bringing it to $1,319,046.30 a year. Back in the day, we had two free shuttles. I was inaugural ride on those. There was a north shuttle, north of Broward Boulevard, ran citywide, east and west. And then there was also a southern route, which ran south of Broward Boulevard, and I rode that east and west. They canceled that. It was $128,000 a year because it was too expensive. You're looking at a program here. It's going to eventually cranked up. It's going to be $1.3 million a year. Now, I was also a plank owner when they did the trolley, got the pretty little canvas bag and everything else like that. That was only for the Midtown. They canceled that. And I saw the trolley downtown Fort Lauderdale years afterwards. That's where they rent. Maybe Fort Lauderdale had the money to spend, but we don't. So, basically, I'm asking you for no electric cars and no electric charging stations with this free ride stuff, which we, the city taxpayers, have to pay for, because you're going to have to pay for it, up to $1.3 million. I yield back. Thank you, Mr. Conklin. Do I have a motion for item number one? Motion to approve item number one. Is there a second? Second. Ms. Vigoro, please call the roll. Council Member Anderson. Yes. Council Member Andreu. Yes. Council Member Fadgen. Yes. Council Member Reinstein. Yes. Council Member Horland. Yes. Thank you. Look at that. You had time left, Mr. Conklin. Administrative discussion items. Number 11, expedited permitting and land development process for affordable housing. We'll be doing this presentation. Mr. Holmes? Good evening. Good evening, Madam Chair. For the record, Dan Holmes, Planning, Zoning, Economic Development Director, and, of course, with me, Michael Alpert, Assistant Director. This is just an update. As you know, we provided you with a copy of two memos, one that we did in 2023, kind of identifying our expedited permitting process for affordable housing. We've had that process in place for some time, but once we implemented the city's affordable housing action committee, we kind of formalized a more updated policy in 2023. As we've indicated in the memo, there have been a lot of changes from the local act to other statutory changes that kind of affect the overall process and some of the timing permitting. And we wanted to just reflect those changes in the updated policy, so we're just providing you just a revised update to the expedited permitting process, sort of implementing some of those additional, you know, things that can affect the timing. So we wanted to just present that to you, get your feedback, and if there's anything you'd like for us to modify. If not, we'd like to move forward with kind of formal adoption of this revised policy. Okay. Mr. Holmes, I think Council Member Andreu has a question or a comment for you. Thank you, President Horland. Mr. Holmes, what happens if the developer begins this process with the intent to commit 50% or more of the project to affordable housing, and then after the expedited approval, that, for whatever reason, usually economic reasons, that percentage is reduced? So is there some type of penalty? What happens in that scenario? Well, if it's reduced, but it still meets, because you said 50%, it can be reduced down, I think it's 25%, or 15%, I think, and still meet the expedited criteria, then they would still qualify. If they kind of drop below that 15%, then they probably would have gone through, like, the development process with planning and zoning, with DRC, would have you at an expedited rate. But once it got to permitting, things would be a little clearer at that time, then we probably would not extend the expedited process at that time. So, you know, if they came in the process, they had every intent, they indicated that to us, we would extend the expedited process to them. Not that it would happen, but I'm concerned that somebody might take advantage or see that as a loophole. Yes. I also had a concern about kind of bypassing the council. So there was a statement about additional incentives, and the additional incentives said if there was a 25% expansion on a project, it would not come before council for approval. Which, let me find, what page are you on? I just want to make sure I'm, are you reading from? It's on the, for me, it's page three. Okay. It's, uh. Of the second memorandum. Okay, additional incentives. If a project involves renovation of existing buildings to convert them into AH without expansion or up to a 25% expansion of buildings of such property and the property does not require any waivers, rezoning a loophole, then it may be approved administratively by DRC. This is basically a renovation of an existing project. So the building, I mean, from a site plan perspective, it's, you know, there's no real changes to the overall site plan. They're just implementing affordable housing within the project. But, I mean, we can certainly bring it before you, but this would just be adding affordable housing units. So it's not a full site plan review, you know, where we're looking at a new site plan. But a contractor could be redeveloping and including an additional 25% of that site plan and maybe only doing 15% affordable housing. And then that whole entire project never comes to the council for review. And more important than the council, to the public for them to have input and discussion on. Right. Well, let me point out something, too, because some of this falls also under the existing administrative, you know, criteria that are in the code that the director has. There are several occasions where there are projects that come to us that I kind of take a look at and make a determination that, hey, I think this is better based upon the changes that are being considered here for it to come before the council. And we have, you know, provided council review. And we also provide the council with memorandums, updating them when certain projects are in. So the council would still have the authority to pull it and bring it to them if it were going through that administrative process like they do now. So you would see it. And let's say, for example, you had some concern. The staff was moving it ahead through the administrative process. You could say, hey, I think this should come to council for the following reasons, and we would place it on the council agenda. So that has been your process. Right. I don't know, though, if that is solidified. Right. So, you know, five years, ten years from now, when Mr. Holmes retires, whenever that may be, I hope it's 20, 30 years from now, but whenever that is, you know, I'm still concerned. And like I said, primarily, I, you know, I think everybody who's been involved in this process knows I've had a problem with the whole, you know, fast express bus and the expediting process. Right. Because I truly value items being on the agenda so that the public is aware and can come and speak for or against. And when we expedite these projects, we take that away, that ability away from them. Right. And that is why I have a problem with this. I understand. We can certainly revise that policy if you'd like. I'm curious to hear what my colleagues have to say, but, you know, I'm not a fan of the express bus. Absolutely. So they understand. Really, my question is back to Councilmember Andreu, is that if there were some revisions based on everything that you've already just commented on, are there particular revisions that would make it work? And there may not be, but. Yeah, it's there's so many scenarios. Like I said, there's some discretion involved there. Like you said, I try to use certain discretion when I see things that I think should have Council review. But as I said, the code does provide the, you know, the director that discretion. And we've talked about that before, and you and I think that at least my time on the Council, you've exercised that discretion very well when, for whatever reason, you determined that it was best to come before us. And so we've had that opportunity, and you've actually taken it one step further that we're getting them emailed as well as getting just the hard copies so that to make sure that we have an opportunity to see them ourselves and pull them as well. But that being said, in hearing these concerns, and, you know, if we put something in writing, it becomes something that is meant to last for much longer than any of us. So, again, whether it's Councilmember Andreu responding further, or whether maybe you making any suggestions, is do you have suggestions that would help respond to those concerns that we should be considering now? Or do you, or should we be pulling this and allowing you further time to consider it? Yeah, well, as one thing we were just looking at, and Mr. Alpert just suggested perhaps that we could look at the percentage of the expansion of the building, maybe take the 25% expansion out. But we can go back and try to look at this and massage it a bit to try to make it, you know, a little more palatable. Do you have anything else? No, that's all I have. Thank you. Yes, Councilmember Anderson. I don't have anything specific, but I kind of whispered I shouldn't have, but just those were really good questions she brought up. I just said that. And I don't have specifics, but I concur that I want you to go back through it, because the very thing that our body to deliver it and the public to be able to deliver it, I trust you, but what if you're not here? Or what if I don't trust your judgment 7 or 10, 15 years from now? So everything's great now, but like Councilmember Reinsen said, it's written for to stand the test of no matter who's in that seat. Right. I understand. Whatever you could do to – Okay. Yeah, we'll take a look at that. And Mr. Holmes and Mr. Alpert, so in looking at this policy and understanding what's pending in the state legislature, it is – I'm looking at this and saying this is pretty much in line what we see coming out of Tallahassee. Yes. So are we simply trying to get ahead of that? Yeah, well, we're paying attention to that, and we're trying to make sure that whatever we craft is definitely consistent with where things are going. We see more preemption coming, you know, so we're trying to take that into consideration, of course. And one of the bills that we've talked about, too, that's out – I mean, there's so many – but the local provider bill, which would also mandate that the city have local planners in rotation that they would be able to approve plans without our staff. Yes, it's – And God bless you. So there are some serious preemptions out there that are potentially endangering – further endangering our local decision-making. Correct. So we may make these adjustments, and I'm not saying that they're not – they're not apt concerns, but it may be a moot point depending on what happens with the socialization session. And I suspect just like we are revising it from 2023, given all of the changes that have happened, we'll be back, you know, subsequently to make sure we incorporate changes as it goes along, you know, so. So if I may, we have a couple of weeks left of session if there is not an urgency to this, if we, you know, just – I think you've heard everybody's input and see where we land because then we may have to revise it again. Yes, absolutely. A very good idea. Okay. All right. Thank you very much, Mr. Holmes. Thank you for your feedback. Comments by the mayor. I'm not going to skip you this time, mayor. Quite all right. We are cooking. Number one, I had a conversation with a building, and the Unsafe Structures Board is something that we need to bear down on and make our appointments, and it's something that we may be deploying soon. Okay. So – and that includes me. I'm going to give it a better look. Okay. And maybe next meeting we have it. Could I ask, mayor, we had done something when we were struggling to get members of the AHAC board that were very specific. Would it be amenable to everyone that perhaps we put out a social media post saying that we have these openings and that people could send in an application through the advisory board process? And I think Carmen said they don't have to live in plantation. Correct. I think it's just they have to have that discipline. They have to have the discipline. So that's what I would suggest. I think that would make it easier for everyone so that we could start to get some applications. Yeah, that's a good call. Yeah, that's a good call. Let's go out and get that. Thank you. Branding has advanced along. Conceptual gave us a handful of items. We took the first step of narrowing it down, and now we're surveying employees, and when we get results, it'll come back to you. Okay. Great. So that's good. And tomorrow you will get the employee survey. It goes, they're doing the presentation tomorrow at the staff meeting, and concurrently nobody's seen the final, so you'll get it when they get it. Okay. Perfect. That's all I got. Thank you very much, Mayor. Councilmember Andrea, would you like to go first this evening? Thank you, President Horland. So I know that tomorrow's read for the record, and many of us are going to be out reading tomorrow. I will be attending Peters Elementary School. I hope we have the whole city covered. It sounded earlier like we may have. Also, the Seminole Middle School community garage sale that I mentioned before, but that was rescheduled and moved to this coming Saturday, I think because of the weather. So that will be February 28th. And I'd also like to congratulate my colleague to the right, Councilmember Eric Anderson. He is being named this year's 2026 Bill Kling recipient for the Community Service Award. So congratulations for celebrating with you. And just as a reminder, Daylight Savings Time starts Sunday, March 8th. We spring forward. So set your clocks accordingly. Thank you. Thank you. Councilmember Anderson. So, yes, I'll be at read for the record at Plantation Park Elementary. And I have a question for the unsafe structure. This might be for Carmen. Is she? Is Carmen? The unsafe structures board. Is it, do you, it has not met in a long time. Once it is formed, do you anticipate it meeting very often? So, because basically if I have a candidate, if I say this won't be too much of a commitment, but it's important when you're called upon to do your job, but it's not a large time commitment. Is that what we can assume? Yes, we can assume that. It's correct. Is it a one and done or would you have to meet a few times and then maybe not for a long time? Councilmember Anderson, can you explain why that we thought about using the counties and why we're using ours and that whole thing? You told me this morning it's the same thing, right? Yes, that is correct. For the records, Carmen Hurlbut, director, building official. Yes, we can select to have the services of the unsafe structure board done by Broward County. But that connection between somebody that is dedicated to the city of Plantasia, if the owner of the structure come to our department, that face, that personal contact is going to be lost. It's going to be gone. But if we don't find the people that we need to have a quorum, we can go to the Broward County for their services. But in my opinion, it would be better to have it in-house. And we need this to crack down on things? Yeah. Yes. Yes, we do. What example would you use this? Oh. It's funny. Yes. Is that a plea? Yes. There is one house that is in the making. Mr. Quentin is already working. Yes. And then Northwest 5th Street. So very probably we are going to employ that unsafe board. No. Okay. Perfect. Sometimes we had it. The one with the roof and the raccoons that have lived in there? Yes. You got it. Yes. All right. That's correct. The time is at the essence. Yes. So please. Councilmember Andre, you had a question? Can Ms. Biggerow tell us exactly who has vacancies, if you have that available with you? Okay. Thank you. Or you can update us by email tonight, right? That's all we want. If you don't mind. Okay. Well, many thanks in advance. Thank you, Ms. Halberg. Nothing else for me. Thank you. Nothing else? Okay. Councilmember Reinstein. Thank you very much. I thought I'd start with, I see that we have in the audience with us from Plantation High School, JROTC, Command Sergeant Major, Noah Uribe, and Battalion Commander, Ethan Williams. If you have a moment, if you can come up and maybe give us a recap of the recent inspection that took place. A number of us had an opportunity to be there for part of it, but we did not get to hear the details of how it concluded. So maybe you can share that with us. All right. Good afternoon. I'm putting you on the spot, but it's a wonderful thing to share. As president of the council, I offered a little leeway since we had a short meeting tonight that you'd be able to give us an update. So go ahead. All right. Thank you. Thank you for the opportunity. So we haven't had an inspection, one of these inspections, since 2019. So it's been a long while. Everyone that has done it already graduated out, and all the instructors that were here, they had left at the time. So it's a big thing for us. The inspection basically dictates whether our program remains standing. It kind of determines whether our program is good and how it compares to the other programs. So if we meet below a certain mark, our program actually could be put on probation to do another inspection the following year. But the outcome of the inspection went really well. We really hit the mark. We need to hit a 95, and we hit a 96. So after – thank you. So afterwards, we were given an award from the – Colonel Jimmy Hall. He's the – District command staff. Let's say that. So all of us, all the staff and all of the people that kind of gave towards that event, they were all given an award. It was a coin that had his name and rank on it. And then, yeah, you want to talk about the different things that went into it? Yeah. So within JPA, there's six events. There's a CLP briefing, which is our continuous improvement plan briefing. There's an SLP, our service learning project briefing. Our color guard inspection, our drill team inspection, and then an interview section. Within the continuous improvement plan, we talk about how we plan to improve our program. And then in the service learning project, we chose cadets that didn't necessarily have leadership roles in the class to lead a project that was service learning. So they graded the briefing on that. And then we had our color guard and drill. The color guard was four cadets holding the national colors and two rifles. That was graded on our regulation as well as the drill, which was a platoon of cadets that was also graded on the regulation. I think we got a perfect score on the platoon, and we got a 12, I believe, on the color guard. Out of 15. Out of 15. Thank you very much for sharing, and congratulations. We're all so proud of the JROTC from Plantation High School, and your leadership has really, really shown and excelled for our entire city. So thank you for all that you've been doing. Good job, guys. Thank you. I would like to also say that we could not have done it without the city. The city actually played an amazing role in meeting our continuous improvement plan goal. So we thank you for that. Great. Thank you very much. Thank you for sharing. Thank you. Just a couple other things for me is that on March 8th coming up, I don't know if Councilmember Horland will mention again, but the Heart Walk in the morning, for those that like a busy day like I do, after the Heart Walk, there's also a Earth Day taking place at the Ann Colt Nature Center. And I'm sure we can all find many other wonderful things to do. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Councilmember Fadgen. Thank you, Council President. I wanted to get the consensus of the Council to direct the Director of Planning and Zoning to kind of do an assessment of our special events ordinance to sort of see what other municipalities are doing with that. And what my concern is, is that, you know, we just had back-to-back circuses at Broward Mall, and the number of events that a property owner is allowed to use is dependent on the size of the property. So for the Broward Mall, they could potentially request 12 special events each year, which really means 60 special events out of the Broward Mall. And one of the things that I'm concerned about is, are we propping up the property owners with these special events, working against our interest of wanting to get the Broward Mall redeveloped? So I really would like to see what other cities are doing, have a conversation about whether we should change it, whether reducing it, making it more stricter, putting some space between these events. The other thing is, particularly at the Broward Mall, it drives me nuts when I see food trucks in that parking lot. We are getting business tax receipts from restaurants in the Broward Mall, and for, if they, I have, my suspicion is they're probably not requesting a special permit for the food trucks. I would like to see that disappear, because there's people paying a lot of rent within the restaurant, on the property, and I certainly don't think food trucks should be anywhere on the Broward Mall property. So I really would like us to review our special events ordinances. I've talked to Danny about it. He agrees with some of this stuff. I won't talk for him. Thank you for bringing it forward, and I don't disagree with you, unless there is a special event where the food trucks are coming in, when we have businesses in the mall paying rent. Yeah, but I think we need to define it. If it's the sole purpose of it, I think that's a... And so, just to be clear, with the circus, is that going through planning and zoning? Because I know most special event permits go through administration. These go through administration, so an event like that, we roundtable it. Now, certainly, PZ is at the table, and so is the fire marshal, PD, the building official, and engineering. Right, because they all have to sign off on that special event permit. So is that something that the council would like administration to take a look at? The number, basically the number of events that we're approving at the mall? Sure, but going back to the food trucks at the mall, so my understanding, that's a standing weekly event, similar to Volunteer Park and the food trucks that are out there. I'll go back and check, but I believe those route through us as well. But we'd be happy to take a look at it. I mean, obviously, we wanted to reflect the sentiment of the community. Well, we can certainly have a discussion about it. I'd like to have a discussion. Okay. Okay. Mayor? I thought at one point we talked to Broward Mall even about it, and they signed off on it. It might have been when Angel was there. We said, yo, what's going on here? And he said it's part of the food trucks? Yes. Okay. Yeah, but let me go back and confirm, because I don't know for sure. But I think if they manage the property, they sure as heck know that there's food trucks on their property. Sure, and I'm assuming the hope is that it's driving people into the mall to shop. So I think that we need to be careful with the consideration, but I think it's certainly worth the discussion. Very happy to look at it, though. Okay. Very happy to look at it. Thank you, Council Member Fadgen. Thank you, Mr. Nunnamaker and Mayor. Council Member Reinstein, anything on that? Well, it's me, right? Yeah. You still? Yeah. Well, I thought he wanted to make a comment on that. Go ahead. That's all I have. Thank you. Okay. Thank you very much for bringing that forward. Very quickly, thank you, Council Member Reinstein, for bringing up the hard work. If anybody's signed up, I'll be sending out additional team information. We're waiting on a map to figure out where we're going to, and I think they've just sent me that map, where we will meet that day on March 8th. It's a great way to get moving and get your heart healthy. Read for the Record was mentioned. I'm hitting a couple of schools tomorrow. I think we all are going to be out there. I really appreciate Parks and Rec making that event around the Read for the Record book. I think that's going to be wonderful at Jim Ward, so thank you for that. And I just want to mention that Council Member Reinstein and Council Member Andreu and I were at Plantation Park Elementary this morning for one of our favorite events, which is the elocution event, where this morning kindergartner and first graders had to recite poems, and these were the finalists. Tomorrow, we can't make it because of Read for the Record. I'll be back there on Friday for fourth and fifth grade, but it's a wonderful event that they've been doing for well over 12 years at Plantation Park Elementary. So great things happening in Plantation Schools. And with that, I don't see anything else. Can I ask you a question, President Harlan? I signed up for the walk. I didn't know we were having a special team. So can you add me to your team? Well, yes, that went out to everybody for the City of Plantation, so I'll try to add you to the team. I'd love you to be out there. These short agendas are making me look like a hero, so thank you very much, Administration. And with that, at 7.20, the meeting's adjourned. Thank you, everyone. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
