Good evening and welcome. The Wednesday, September 18th, 2024 City of Plantation City Council meeting is now called to order at 645. Ms. Beggaroe, can you please call the roll? Council Member Anderson? Here. Council Member Andrew? Here. Council Member Fadgen? Here. Council Member Horland? Here. Council Member Einstein? Here. Mayor Sorrell? Here. Mayor Sorrell? Here. Thank you. Tonight's opening remarks and pledge allegiance will be provided by Council Member Horland. Thank you, President Fadgen. So, it is election season across the land and in our schools. And if you were here for our first meeting, the students of Mayor Lake Elementary School led the Pledge of Allegiance. That was the student council. Council Member Weinstein and Andrea and I were present on Monday when the students were sworn in as student council representatives at Mayor Lake Elementary. And today I spoke with class representative candidates at Central Park Elementary about what makes a good candidate an elected official. Whether you're representing your classmates, your city residents, or millions of constituents as president of the United States. And this is what the third grade students and I agree upon. You should not make promises you cannot keep. You should listen to the people you represent. And if you cannot support something they're asking for, make sure you explain why and try to find a compromise. And that can be applied to free ice cream on Wednesday, which the kids were advocating for, or a development budget. You should be honest, kind, and make sure that people feel safe and protected from bullies. Now, the students were referring to school bullies, but as we all know, there are plenty of adult bullies around. And it is our job as elected officials to ensure that the people we represent feel safe and that we call out any reprehensible rhetoric, whether it be anti-Semitic, misogynistic, racist, or xenophobic. I've had a few discussions in the past week with members of our Haitian community, who unfortunately feel targeted as a group by a false narrative that is not only hurtful and offensive, but has caused school children to be evacuated by bomb threats in one Ohio community. And it has caused some in our own community to feel unsafe. This has nothing to do with whom you vote for, but it has to do with decency. It is about not turning a blind eye to violent or hateful rhetoric, whether on the national stage or during the local city council race. Because words matter. And I'm still convinced that we have more in common with one another than the forces that seek to divide us. Our vibrant Haitian community deserves better. We deserve better. And we all have to do better in calling out this behavior because our children are watching. And as they told me today, you should be honest, kind, and make sure that people feel safe and protected from bullies. And we would all do well to heed their words. And now if you'll join me, I pledge allegiance. I pledge allegiance. To God. Of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands. One nation. Under God. Indivisible. With liberty and justice. Thank you. Item submitted by the mayor. By the mayor. This is a very happy occasion for me. I've lived across the street in Lauderdale West for more than 25, almost 25 years. I've watched those little homes. I've got to know the people. And it crossed our minds that we, well, actually, they brought it up, that you've been around for 50 years. And 50 years of a community is a big deal. So, we got together and I had a proclamation to read. And then, anybody going to talk? You want to talk? You don't have to think you don't want to. Whereas 50 years ago, the Lauderdale West community opened, providing a unique neighborhood for those 55 and older. And whereas the nearly 300-acre property is home to about 2,000 residents spread across 1,359 single-family homes, duplexes, and fourplexes. And whereas Lauderdale West itself has done a stellar job maintaining itself with an all-volunteer board, rather than a management company, with board members dividing central areas as architectural review, insurance, pest control, and entertainment. Hell's not here, is he? Whereas a theater provides professional musicians and entertainment regularly, no shorts are allowed, as well as two pools, a gym, card room, pool tables, and a unique wood shop known for residents volunteering to make toys for children at Christmas. I know somebody who does that. And whereas the spirit of community and a desire to improve the lives of others thrives with such groups as Hadassah and women of Lauderdale West. And whereas residents are regularly informed via a bi-monthly newspaper, cable TV notices, a robust web page, and open board of directors meetings. And whereas the neighborhood is kept clean and green by its residents, who are dedicated to looking out for each other, as they have been from the very beginning to this golden anniversary year. Now, therefore, I, Nick Soto, Mayor, and the City Council Plantation hereby proclaim September 18th as Lauderdale West Day. I just want to thank the mayor and thank the council for recognizing our wonderful community. Thank you. And also on behalf of, we have a few members of the board here, very proud of our board of 11 members that continue doing it day in and day out. It's not a 9 to 12, it's a 9 to whenever, and weekends and taking phone calls, all because we want to do it. So, like I said, I've got a couple of folks here for the board members, Floor, Sally, Miss Christy, and Miss Marlene, our previous president, Miss Bob over there. So, yes, it's very unique, very warm, very nurturing community where we take care of each other and we help each other. So, that's plantation for you. Thank you. Come on, guys. She'll photo direct. Photo bomb? Photo bomb, too, yeah. You okay, Bob? How's he doing? He's coming. Here is why. You should go up. She does it. She does it. So. I did like it. I said, Greg. He's going to get taller now. All right, Bob. Come on down. Come on down. We can bring you anywhere. I'm here. Come on. In the chair. Turn around and sit, and we're good. Sit down and you'll be good. Okay. Hey, Bob. Good. Now we go. We're good now. All right. I'm going to talk. I'm going to be a friend. Smile and look at the black people. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to have to get up. Thank you, sir. That's it. Thank you. That's right. All right. See you all in 10 years. We'll be here. Thank you. You got it, Bob? I'm holding it. I'm holding it back here. They got it back there, Bob. We have it back here. You turn. There we go. No, I just had to turn this around. Turn it to the back. He knows the system. I tell you, Bob. We got it. We got it. We got it. All this attention. All right. I think we want to move there. Maybe we want to move there. Yeah. Come here. Come here. All right. Sit down. Sit. That would sit. There you go. Okay. September is National Service Dog Month. And there's, so we invited the volunteers of Canine Companions to come on in. So if you'd all like to come on up, I will read the proclamation. This is Melvin. He used to be a Canine Companion, and he made it all the way to the end, but he's afraid of elevators and escalators. So, come on, Mel. You can see his training. Sit down. I did not. I never got any information. But she can come up and stand. Melvin. All right. All right. Sit down. Sit. Good boy. Good boy, Melvin. Whereas Canine Companions is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1975 in Santa Rosa, California. And whereas Canine Companions enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing expertly trained service dogs. And whereas Canine Companions is the first member of Assistance Dogs International to earn all accreditation, earn full accreditation. And whereas in the United States, 64 million adults and children have a disability, and only 16,000 service dogs from accredited training programs exist nationwide. And whereas Canine Companions has placed over 7,850 dogs since their founding, including and 450 working teams since 2023. And whereas Canine Companions has over 2,700 active graduate teams and over 4,300 active volunteers, with 1,100 puppies being raised by volunteers nationwide. Whereas National Service Dog Month aims to educate our community about the benefits of service dogs and the laws protecting them. And now, therefore, in recognition of service dogs and the adults and children with disabilities in our community, Mayor Rick Sorville and the City Councilmembers of the City of Plantation, Florida, do hereby proclaim the month of September as National Service Dog Month. In the City of Plantation, and we encourage everyone in the City of Plantation to celebrate task-trained service dogs and be respectful of the rights afforded to the adults, children, and veterans who lead more independent lives because of their assistance. So, would you like to say a couple words? I would not. But Nicole would. Thank you for the opportunity. Okay. We have a few people who will speak. That works. Good evening. My name is Nicole McKean. I am here with fellow graduate teams. And service dogs in training. September is National Service Dog Month. Service dogs are truly a blessing to those they care for. A gift that restored the independence for so many in ways that amazed from opening and closing doors, turning on and off lights, helping to get dressed, to hearing, and even to help with laundry. We want to thank the Plantation City Council for this proclamation, honoring their service and dedication for all that they do. Thank you. I am glad to have. Hi, I am Tiffany Hunter, and this is my service dog, Dunn, and it just makes it easier when we can educate the people and people know what is going on. It makes it easier for our life and people know how these dogs can help from us and people in the community. So, thank you so much. Hi, I am Michelle. Actually, me and Cheryl are representing Dogs, Inc., formerly known as Southeast Guide Dogs. It's another service dog organization, a latecomer to the party here. Actually, it's been around since the 70s. But we provide dogs to the visually impaired and to servicemen who've suffered injuries either in combat or in training and a lot of other things like COVID dogs for hospitals and that kind of thing. And it's all for free. And I know that Canine Companions, I've worked with them in the past as a co-leader for University of Miami campus. And, you know, people donate their time to raise the dogs, and then other people donate their funds to support the organizations. And they don't get federal funding or any other funding. It's just solely by people's good graces that they can, both organizations can provide for free the dogs and for free the training to learn how to use the dogs. So, it's a really neat thing. This one's name is Jet, like Jet Black. I loved it. Sometimes they have horrible names. His friend's name is Sorrow. People pay $5,000 to name the dog, so Sorrow it is. Very good. Thank you. As I say, every dog has its dummy. That was easy, right? Come on. These are the jokes that will not get any better. Okay, so we get to do service awards in a minute? You want to stop making your way up? Everybody's coming? Or just Jenny? Okay. So, Jenny and I celebrated with cake today for 25 years, and so I'm delighted. 25-year pin, Jenny Kajat Library. Thank you. It was a beautiful day. Did you have no? No, that's okay. Thank you very much. Okay. To everybody else, thank you for my co-workers. I know, you're putting it on 25. All right. Three more to go. Five years. Harold Bailey, five years. Police. Come on up, Mike. Mike. Mike and baby. Over here. All right. Okay. Son. Son. Son. Son. Son. Son. Son. Come on, baby. Come on. I'll put you look at it in the TV show. Yes. All right. There you go. Put this in your seat or chest. Thank you. You're good? Thank you. Beautiful city. Great city. Thank you. Okay. Five years, Rain Gomez. That's like working six or seven right there. First one? Yes, sir. Okay. My wife and son. Congrats. Beautiful. Enjoy. Is that the $36 drive? I'm in. Give me the camera. Hi. Hi. Oh, look at you. Always look at me. Yeah. Listen, I grew up in this city. I love working here. I'm not going anywhere. Wait, wait, wait. One high score. Woo! And five years, Joshua Slattery. Man, those are two hard ones to beat there. I know. Appreciate you. Thank you, guys. I'll see you in another five. There you go. That's it. Thank you, Mayor.

It's day 766 of the FBI unconstitutional grade of the Trump home with authorized, quote, use of deadly force, crossfire hurricane plot, violating 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments.

If you look at the Bill of Rights, the only Bill of Rights that he's not been denied is the second, which is the right to bear arms, the third, which prevents the government from quartering troops in his home, and the ninth, which is the Declaration of Independence Amendment. I will back. Thank you. Thank you, Dennis. I don't have any other speaker cards. Is there anybody else in the chamber that wishes to make a public comment? Seeing none, public requests to the council regarding municipal affairs are now closed. I'm just going to move to the consent agenda. We had an item that's being requested to be added to the consent agenda. I'm just going to read the memo real quick. Approval of emergency repairs to Rescue Number 25 in the amount of $56,328.06. On August 26, 2024, Rescue 25 was responding to a call when it was involved in a crash at the intersection of Broward Boulevard, east of Southwest 46th Avenue. Thankfully, it appeared that while damage to the rescue was significant, the MTs traveling to the rescue were not seriously injured, and the other driver was treated and released from the hospital same day. The other driver was cited for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. Damage to the rescue was estimated in excess of $50,000. Repairs are now complete, and we are requesting authorization to make payment to Southeast Truck Specialists in the amount of $56,328.06. Repairs have been completed on an expedited basis in order to get this vehicle back in service as quickly as possible. Please note that the other drivers insured in the city through our TPA has filed a claim for damages. So, administration is requesting that we put this on the agenda. So, can I have a motion to add that to our consent? Motion to add to our consent. Second. So, we would vote to add that? Yes, yes, sir. Okay. Ms. Beckel, is there any comments from the DAIS? Any comment? Real quick, obviously, we need to pay the money to get the truck back, and we want to get the truck in circulation. Insurance-wise, we could get a big hunk of this back. We don't know how much. It depends on their limits. Yeah. Okay. Any other comments from the DAIS? Any comments from the Chamber? Ms. Beckel, please call the roll. Council Member Weinstein? Yes. Council Member Horland? Yes. Council Member Anderson? Yes. Council Member Andrew? Yes. Council Member Fadgen? Yes. The consent agenda consists of items 1 through 6, plus the item we just added and may be approved of one motion. Does any member of the Council wish to pull an item? I don't see any. Dennis, you wanted to pull item 5? Okay. Is there any other items from the public that would like to pull from the consent? Seeing none, can I have a motion? Motion to approve items 1 through 6, plus additional items, minus item 5. Second. Ms. Beckel, please call the roll. Council Member Weinstein? Yes. Council Member Horland? Yes. Council Member Anderson? Yes. Council Member Andrean? Yes. Council Member Fadgen? Yes. Thank you. Okay, Dennis? Okay, Dennis Conklin, 458 and Northwest 6th Court. I support the motion here, the item 5, and just again to compliment the advancement and the condition in the Gateway 7, which overlaps the CRA, which preceded the CRA by a number of years. So, that's it. I wrote back my time. I just want to congratulate everybody for the advancement throughout. It was mentioned last, maybe last week. You can say the word public now, and I'll do it back. Thank you, Dennis. Can I have a motion? Motion to approve item number 5. Second. Is there any other comments from the chamber? Seeing none, Ms. Begler, please call the roll. Council Member Weinstein? Yes. Council Member Horland? Yes. Council Member Anderson? Yes. Council Member Andrean? Yes. Council Member Fadgen? Yes. Thank you. Okay, next item is advisory board reports, which is... Transmittal. Transmittal. Transmittal. Mayor Soil? Okay. So, you're done with advisory boards, right? Well, there's nothing to do. It's just transmittal. I couldn't think of the words. It's been a long meeting. I got you. A couple things coming up I just want to put on your radar. Last year, we had a very successful town hall about affordable housing. At least, I thought it was successful. 6 p.m., October 10th this year. So, we have a council meeting the night before, I think, on the 9th. And then the 10th is affordable housing town hall. And we're getting it together on the 13th. The 5K run is at Central Park. It supports breast cancer, I think. I'm pretty sure. October is breast cancer month. And we will be having a team, which means if you want to sign up and run for free through HR, we got you. So, we got that. And I think that's all I got. Thanks. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. All right. Council Member Comments. Council Member Weinstein. Thanks. Thank you very much. In finding the reference, Mayor, to the affordable housing workshop, I want to bring up again the request for a workshop in regards to code enforcement. It's something that we've talked about a number of times. Yes. We talked about that? Yes. I would love to do one. So, you want to have an hour here, have them come in, have us spell out what we're doing, what we're not doing, and you get a comment? Yes. Okay. Because we talked yesterday, you at the meeting, we talked code enforcement. It's three different things, and we'll bring all three legs. Yes. Police, PNC, and building. Okay. Absolutely. Great. Thank you. So, I want to also raise that there's been recently a number of coyote attacks in acres, and wanted to raise that with the administration that the public is asking as to what some of the creative ways that we can help assist our residents. I know that I've heard some talk about whether or not there can be some higher funding, expenses allowed or some requirements that when land is going to be for sale that requirements they maintain to deter dens from moving in. I think it's something that we should investigate and see if there's any role that we should investigate and see if there's any role that the city can play to assist our residents. Also, in terms of today was an example where we had a lot of down time between the meetings. I know that it's been raised previously whether or not we can revisit the language on our agenda so that if we have a CRA meeting followed by the council meeting, or if we have a workshop that the subsequent meeting would begin immediately after the prior meeting. And I know that, for example, that when we have meetings, that unless there are constitutional officers that are coming or there's some specific reason for a time certain, then there's no reason that one meeting wouldn't begin just immediately after the other one. So, I want to bring that back to the council to think about and see if we can bring that up for some further discussion another time. And finally, I just wanted to also mention that this week, although it's only Wednesday, I know you heard Council Member Hoyland mention about Mirror Lake and Mirror Lake and their student government induction, which was great. I also had the opportunity already this week to visit Mirror Lake's debate team and to talk to their speech and debate team. Central Park Elementary I had a chance to visit for Constitution Day and Peters Elementary for their PTA meeting. And I mention that because we have some great students, we have some great schools in Plantation, and everybody should be aware that the teachers are creative, the teachers are protecting our students and teaching our students and doing a great job. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member. Council Member Horland. Thank you, President Fadgen. Council Member Weinstein, can you elaborate on the coyote attacks? This is the first I've heard of it. Individuals or animals being attacked? So I believe it was this weekend that there was a dog, a dog's name was Sabre, who was attacked by, I believe there were three coyotes. And I know that I've been seeing generally other sightings of coyotes. I know in my own neighborhood in Central Park that somebody caught one on their ring. So this one happened just recently, and some residents reached out to see what kind of role the city could play to try and assist. Can I add something to that? Because I've had some phone calls, but on the east side of town, like off Cypress Road and Plantation Road, and I had a conversation with Matt, and I guess the state's position is unless they attack a child or a small pet, they're not going to take action, you can hire a trapper to remove them, but it's not necessarily effective. Matt was telling me that the canals are kind of like highways for them. So you did mention something that could help mitigate it. If neighbors or you have fallen trees that create these dens, they need to be taken care of because they're going to attract rodents and these coyotes. So I think that's really the action that's going to be taken because when you need them, they're going to come back. You've got to make the habitat less hospitable. And that was one of the references. I mean, my understanding is that at least some of the residents in the Acres have already reached out to Fish and Wildlife, and they've gotten some responses from them, and that was when they decided that they needed maybe some assistance from the city. And then one other comment regarding that, the state site has a very comprehensive, frequently asked questions about it. So you learn a lot about it and find out there's, you know. Which is why the two responses that I raised were ones that I think maybe the city can assist with, is that when there are opportunities to raise the fences beyond what we normally allow. Well, I don't know if that's a fence problem because they can go under the fence. Mayor, you want to make a comment? I need a name and address if we get something like that. I didn't know the name or who it was, where it happened or anything. So if you get calls like that, please forward the info to me so then we can track it down and make a site visit if you all don't mind. Sure. It was on channel site. It was on channel site. And I'm happy to pass it on. I appreciate it. Thank you, Councillor Langston. And because we've had that conversation, I've had a conversation previously with a couple of residents in the Acres. And listen, there are many of her as well. Council President Fajan is right. If you remove them, they will just come back and den again. But to your point, there are certain properties that are owned by individuals, builders, potential builders, that need to be taken care of. But, you know, listen, I don't let my dogs in the backyard by themselves because they can jump six-foot fences. So I think at night especially, maybe we can put out some information directing to, because, as you said, the Florida Wildlife website has a lot of great information about what not to do and what to do. So thank you for that information. Yes, you mentioned the schools. I just wanted to mention that while we're at Mirror Lake, later in the day at Mirror Lake, school board member Debbie Hickson paid a visit to the school. And Melissa Smiley, who's the autism specialist there, we were privileged enough to see the sensory room, which was really just amazing what they've done for the children there. But she came in honor of Ms. Smiley as a Hickson hero. So that was really nice. So, again, great things happening in our schools. Tomorrow night is Reimagining Schools community meeting at Piper High School. That is from 6 to 8 p.m. I did put something on social media if anybody wants to go. Plantation Middle is or is not on the list. We don't know. But that will be part of the discussion. There's some misinformation out there. But I would urge anybody who's listening, whether you have children or not in our schools, that is our school. And many people believe that we need to, you know, perhaps reimagine what that school looks like. So I would hope that people would attend and give their feedback there. I want to congratulate the mayor and Council Member Andreu on their environmental awards, environmental heroes, last weekend. That's a great thing for the city. And that's all I have. We don't come back for a couple weeks. I want to wish everybody a happy Rosh Hashanah. Thank you. Council Member Anderson? Just ditto the congratulations to Jennifer Andreu and Mayor Soto for their environmental award. And that's it. Have a good couple weeks. Council Member Andreu? Thank you. Also, we're celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month, which started on the 15th of September to October 15th. And the theme this year is Pioneers of Change, Shaping the Future Together. I'm sure all of you received from the Hispanic vote they're hosting a celebration on September 27th at The View, 7 p.m. And I hope to see many people and my colleagues at We're All Plastic People now, which will be showing at North Regional Broward College this Saturday at 3 p.m. So all of our Sierra Club people will be there and invite all of you to attend. October 1st, I know we didn't mention it, but Commissioner Geller is hosting a roundtable for us. I'm not able to attend. I don't know if anyone else can attend. I've attended in the past. I'm attending. And Carrie was great. So you'll bring us that information. And then I believe he also set a date right near soil for a town hall here. He did set a date. I don't want to see what it is. We'll push that out, I'm sure. Do you know what it is? Commissioner Geller is hosting a town hall here. City of Plantation. Should I have a luncheon? Yeah, okay. I'll check here, too. I might have it here. It's in you. Okay. Is it in my phone? But mine doesn't work. And also, I know we'll have the October 5th Firefighter Memorial, always a very somber event, but to pay homage to those firefighters. I will be out of town this year. Unfortunately, I'll be missing that event, but I'm sure that everyone will be able to attend. And also want to wish everyone who celebrates a happy Rosh Hashanah, wishing you a sweet new year. And my last comment, I think, is for Mr. Munamaker. I don't know if you're able to share any additional insights, but I had some questions, and we can talk tomorrow, about the tri-county educational mitigation letter that was sent. Can you give us any more details? Sure. I'm happy to. Jason, I'm your CAO. Oakland Park has been in a redevelopment. His redevelopment is at their core of what they're trying to achieve, and in the process of doing that, one of the projects came up where the education mitigation was going to cost them about $180,000 a unit due to these tri-party agreements. Now, Plantation has one as well. It was executed back in 2006, and as you're all aware, development and student capacity and enrollment trends were completely different back in 2006. Those agreements have no sense of provisions. I'm not sure why that was the case. And so when they reached out, we started to look into it. They were looking for support in their efforts to get it released. I did ask whoever had an issue with this and didn't hear any feedback. Now, we do have about 420 units that could potentially be impacted by this. So that's why we did draft that letter, because also there was a request as another meeting was coming up where it was being discussed by the Board of County Commissioners. So we wanted to be responsive with that, although without having the opportunity to discuss it with y'all first, we did want to take care to say that that was from the administration. As far as moving forward, I'm not exactly sure what the next step is. So we addressed our letter to the school board, because we felt that was most appropriate, but copied the county, since they were considering it, and also sent a copy to Oakland Park, since it was really affecting them the most right now. We're going to keep that on the front burner, because we would like to resolve it. It really doesn't make sense, and I would be concerned if I was the school board, thinking of what might the legal impacts, as the enrollment's been declining for some time now as a steady trend. I'm not sure how they're using the impact fees, so that could be an issue. But obviously for us, if we have an interesting project come up in Midtown involving those units, it'd be nice to have this issue resolved before it comes to a head. Okay, thank you. Council Member Andrew, may I add a little perspective from a Planning Council standpoint? So this came up, I had reached out to Mr. Renewaker, it came up before the Planning Council, and Oakland Park was facing over a million dollars in fees, and they have some potential other development that is coming down the pike, and they absolutely don't have the money in their budget. So the discussion was that it was one of them packed the municipalities' efforts to implement affordable housing in their communities. So when we had the discussion, Dr. Zeman is also a member of the Planning Council, and he relayed to us that it was something that the school board was talking about, but he didn't want it to end at this moment. He said, you know, can you kind of wait until we get it straightened out? And what the Planning Council had recommended is we had asked that it go to the County Commission, and Commissioner Lamar Fisher said he would bring it forward, which he did yesterday, because when we looked at it, these agreements had been in 18, 20 years prior. We may know that schools like Central Park Elementary were overcrowded at that time. So it had kind of, you know, the need for it had passed, so we felt that it really needed a fresh look. So that's where it came out of the Planning Council a week or two ago, and then it did pass the County Commission yesterday. So we're just worried about the potential impact on our ability to provide affordable housing, extra costs. All right. Stopped by the Community Resource Fair on Saturday. A lot of good information there, a lot of speakers. Pretty well attended when I was there. I think I got there, I know you were there earlier in the day. So that was nice to see. No problem. I feel like we're going to get busy real quick, because it doesn't seem like these meetings have been very busy. So I think we need to enjoy our little couple weeks off here, because I feel like we're going to be put to work. And Melvin looks exhausted, so I'm going to adjourn the meeting at 7.31. Good night.
