And we move right into our first Plantation Acres Improvement District meeting. Ms. Beggarrow, please call the roll for that. Commissioner Anderson? Here. Commissioner Andreu? Here. Commissioner Badgen? Here. Commissioner Horland? Here. Commissioner Reinstein? Here. Commissioner Sortel? Here. Assistant City Attorney Morgan? Here. Thank you very much. And we, item number one is the Plantation Acres Improvement District transition presentation. Mr. Nunnemaker, Ms. Shailon? Hi, good evening. Jason Nunnemaker, CAO. Welcome to the first paid meeting. As y'all are – I'm waiting for it to come up. There we go. As y'all are aware, there was a vote earlier this year that resulted in the transfer of the Independent Special District Plantation Acres Improvement District to a Dependent District of the City of Plantation. We've been working, Samira, the Finance Director, Procurement, the City Attorney's Office, since that – even before the vote happened to kind of prepare for this, and then as it got more and more real, we've turned up the volume and the heat to make sure that we're ready to pick this up and run with it. And then since the transition, I think it's been relatively smooth – or I should say the vote. And I'd be remiss if I didn't thank Chairman Santana, all the Board of Supervisors, the District Administrator, Carmen Morones. They were all – and the District Attorney, Mr. Tulsa's – very gracious in working with us, very smooth. And I just want to commend particularly Chairman Santana. He put a lot of effort into the district, really put his heart and soul into it, and I think he had stated his goal was to keep the district independent and really respect that effort and what he tried to bring to the table. So we appreciate all their efforts. And it's important for people to know that the district is going to remain intact in large part. It's just a subordinate component of now the City of Plantation. So with the governance structure, obviously, all are now the Board of Supervisors. People that are familiar with the city and watching the meetings can think of it in a similar context as the CRA. So there will be the opportunity for public participation, transparency. The mayor, myself, the city administrator, the district engineer, we'll all be coordinating to move this district forward. And we're all, frankly, excited about it because I think there's a lot of opportunity here. As far as the continuity of financial matters, that is assured. It's assured by the transition plan that you all approve via ordinance, the way that this was adopted by the legislature. So it'll be its own budget section in our budget book. People will be able to routinely every month see what's happening in the district. So I think, you know, after we get over the initial growing pains, if you will, we're hoping that people will be happy with this. And it's kind of what I've stated, all the assets, the obligations transfer over to the city. So people need not be concerned if things appear to be in the middle. Like there's some apparatus that was ordered. We'll take possession of that when it comes in from Germany. To the little things, permits that were in progress, those will be transferred over. I know Samira's been hard at work making sure that nothing gets missed there. It sounds like things have been going pretty smooth. We pushed out an FAQ across multiple platforms, shared it with Ms. McCormick so that she could pass it through Paha and the folks that she knows. So that's gone very well. And again, to emphasize, the funding will be kept distinct so people will be able to track the revenues, the expenditures to make sure the monies are going where they should. Again, this is just more about the transition. So I'm not going to belabor the point. But I think for everybody that's paid attention to Midtown, to Gateway, to the CRA, it's going to follow those basic parameters. Samira had developed a preliminary budget based on expectation. So basically we rolled the budget that was passed by paid into our budget. So you will see that more fully when we do our first budget amendment. That'll be called out specifically. We've taken all the steps as far as notifications with the county. So I think we're in a very good place. And now I'm happy to turn it over to Ms. Shalane. Good evening. Samira Shalane, city engineer slash district engineer. So the ordinance assigns the responsibility of the district engineer to the city engineer. And today I'm in front of you and the public to discuss the role of the city engineer and the engineering department when it comes to the district. The engineering department will manage the two aspects, the engineering and the stormwater management, with the goal to continue the service with less interruption to services or permitting. With that said, I want to go over briefly about the function of the stormwater. We're going to be maintaining the operation. The district have a distinct six stormwater pump stations. So we're currently operating. We're going to be maintaining the waterways that added to our assets. We're going to implement the preventive maintenance plan and expand our assets. We're going to maintain the contracts and the services. And we're going to perform emergency readiness to rain events. I just want to go over briefly of the assets that are paid transition added to our responsibility around 900 structures, almost 60,000 linear feet of pipes, 110 swales, 36 new canals and waterways, and as I said, six pump stations. Bill Mulder, our stormwater manager, who's present today, we already deployed staff, and you're going to see pictures on that. We're already in the process of verification of these assets. As you recall, Plantation Acres was part of our stormwater master plan. However, it wasn't vetted like the rest of the city because it wasn't under our control, and we didn't do asset verification. So as we speak today, we're going to be verifying the asset, inspect them, and maintain them as step one. With that said, we recognized the asset had increased, the responsibility had increased. We looked at our organization and our employees. It wasn't our intention to create a third division, and we call it paid. However, we looked at the structure of the stormwater organization and realized the need to increase staffing due to the increase of services and assets that were added to the city responsibility. With that said, we proposed a crew leader position, and two, stormwater technician, one, stormwater technician, two, and three, and we're currently in recruitment for these positions. From funding perspective, the way the budget is going to be proposed in front of you, we're proposing a payroll allocation. The stormwater organization in front of you is going to be proposed to be budgeted 25% from paid and 75% from stormwater fund. So salaries, benefits, and fringe benefits of all the employees are going to be allocated 25% from paid fund and 75% from stormwater fund. And the reason being, if we calculate the assets, the assets that I went over with you is 25% of the overall city. So we created that equation to create that percentage I'm presenting in front of you based on assets, number of assets. This is some pictures. This is the week one of paid. Actually, day one is the picture on the left, lower left. It was a rainy day, and staff had a hands-on day. Welcome to paid. They were cleaning the grates. They were, and following that rainy days, we deployed all our equipment. Actually, it worked beautifully because we are currently in zone 23, which is the north acres. So it was, we planned it during the transition. We, as you recall in my previous presentation in stormwater, the city is divided into 27 zones. The acres is zone 23 to 26. So we already inspected and maintained zone 1 to zone 22, and here we are in zone 23, which is plantation acres. I want to also echo what Jason had mentioned with Commissioner Santana on the center picture, lower picture. He was instrumental in giving us guidance. He was operating the district for two years, and the information was very valuable to get us starting in the inspection and maintenance and operation of the district. We would request patience of the residents, and in some instances we may need access to properties because some of paid structures are behind fences and behind people's yard. So we will be knocking on doors and sending flyers. So this message is to the public to ask their cooperation to provide us access because inspection and preventive maintenance is very essential to our operation. Also on September 16, Council approved Amendment No. 4 to the contract to the aquatic weed control contract. We added the waterway. We are scheduled to start our first inspection and maintenance next week. They are currently cooking what I call the special sauce because the way the aquatic weed is maintained, they test the waterway, they look at the algae, and we have a mixture of chemicals approved by APA that we will apply to get it under control. So we are in that process, and next week we will start the application. Jason mentioned the equipment that was purchased by the previous board. They purchased a We Do Workboat in the amount of approximately $292,000. They paid 50%, and the balance is almost $146,000. This item will come before you in the next paid item for approval because it's expenditure above $50,000 and requires the board approval. It is estimated delivery the first week of November. The stormwater manager is going to go to the delivery area in West Palm Beach and provide it, and there will be training to staff. This is instrumental for dredging, so we're going to be utilizing this equipment for dredging. Again, I'll go over quickly some of the contracts. We took the assets, liabilities, and contract. There are some contracts that are active and some contracts that are going to come before you. So this slide is to give some heads up on some of the contracts. We're going to be utilizing the state contract with suburban propane for the supply and delivery of fuel to the pump station. This is going to come before you in the next agenda. Also, there is a small contract for the telemetry system which gives us remote access to operate the pump station. This is below the expenditure of $50,000, so it is in the hopper as we speak. When it comes to engineering function, we're going to be performing record plan management, permitting, plan review, and engineering, and provide general engineering consultation to the residents of Plantation Acres, similar to what we do to the entire city. I created a couple of slides to inform the public. If you have a permit and it is under review, we will carry – we have the records. We obtain the records from the former district engineer, and we will carry and transfer all the plans and comments and proceed and continue the process. If the plans got approved, we will carry forward the documentation and proceed with the construction to follow the approved plans. If the construction is at its final stages, we will perform the closeout and issue certificate of occupancy for homes or whatever structure is being built. What's going to happen to fees? So we're working with the district accountant as we speak. We're getting inventory of all fees paid, and our goal to avoid duplication. So we have all the records as we speak, and we're going over them, so we will not be assessing new fees if fees were paid already under permits. What's going to happen if – well, after October 1st, we're already on week one. If it's a new application, it's going to follow our permitting process, so there is no duplication. There is no separate process. The engineering department will carry the review under the engineering review in Accela. We will be reviewing the plans in behalf of city of plantation and in behalf of paid at the same time, adhering to the paid manual and the paid fees as we speak. During year one, we will do a lot of assessment of these fees and come before you when we have the findings. I'm going to give also a brief overview and update on pump station 7. We partnered with Plantation Acres on this project. Plantation South Acres is prone to flooding. So we partnered with the district before it is dissolution via interlocal agreement to participate on phase one of this project, which is the surveying of the area. The survey is undergoing, and it will be – it is estimated to complete by April 1st. After the survey is complete, we will conduct hydraulic modeling and conceptual design. We will engage the community. This is very – I want to make a disclaimer. What's the picture in front of us is very, very conceptual and doesn't mean any design. That doesn't mean that pump station is going to land over there or it's going to be the structure the way it is depicted on the plan. It's just preliminary idea that we're going to develop. We're taking approach similar to North Acres Park where there will be presentations. There will be engagement with adjacent residents. There will be engagement with the parks department, with the parks advisory board if needed on this project when we advance it to design. And this slide outlines our contact information with all the division, whether it is in administrative questions or stormwater operation questions, engineering questions. And the public is always welcome at City Council as today is the first of many paid meetings on items to be discussed. Also, what we did, we created frequently asked questions and we placed them already on paid website. We have access to the website. Michelle Casado is working on updating the website. We have a link on City of Plantation website to link to the paid website. And actually, this is a QR code. So if our resident, this is an updated slide from the slide that was provided for this agenda. If they can scan this QR code, it will take them directly to the frequently asked questions where they can read and have further information regarding operation, regarding permitting, or administration and governance. And that's it. Thank you, Ms. Shailon. To you and your team and Mr. Mulder, I know this has been a heavy lift in the preparation for the takeover and the takeover. So I want to thank you very much for that. I have a couple of things, but Commissioner Andreu buzzed in. So I'll turn to her first. Thank you, Commissioner Horland. Again, thank you all. You've made it look easy and smooth, but I'm sure there's been a lot of hiccups that behind the scenes we're not aware of. I have a question about the reorganizational, the organizational chart, rather. If we can bring that back up. But my question is, how many staff members did PAID have before the transition? And were any personnel automatically kept and transitioned over to the city? No, ma'am. Unfortunately, they didn't meet the minimum requirements. One of our base floor requirements is that everybody has a CDL, and unfortunately, they didn't have that. So we certainly encouraged them to apply, not only for stormwater, but public works, landscaping, other positions. So I don't know if any have moved in those directions, but not as it applies to stormwater. And I believe there were four employees, plus the district administrator. And then they had a contractual district engineer, a contractual attorney, and that was some of their workforce. Okay. I was really – it was the four, and I wasn't aware of the credentialing. But since you did bring that up out of concern for the employees, I do want to make you aware they did provide them a level of bonus upon their departure, consistent with state statutes. So I don't think it was an untoward move, and that was documented. So there was a little bit of transitional assistance there. Okay. Thank you for that. Another question, Ms. Shallon. The contract – thank you, Ms. Begaro. The waterway? Which contract? The contracts with procurement. Yes. This one. Thank you. It would help if you put page numbers for me. So this contract expires in 2028. You're bringing it back to us at the next paid meeting because it needs to be under the City of Plantation and approved by us? So the district have a contract with suburban propene that expired already on September 30th. So a lot of their contracts in advance of the transition, they made the expiration date September 30th. So what we're doing, they piggybacked on the state contract, and this is an essential function, the fuel delivery to the pump station, and especially we are in the rainy season. So our goal is to continue the service utilizing the state contract, and if there is a need further down the road to competitive procure the item, then we will do. But at this point, because we are in the rainy season and the delivery of the fuel is essential function to the pump station, we would like to bring it under the new contract. We're currently operating under a purchase order under the mayor's expenditure limit, $50,000, to continue the service. Okay. Thank you. These were the only two contracts that they carried? They carried the other contracts, but again, they expired. For example, mowing the grass on the canal banks, that expired September 30th. So we did informal bidding a couple of weeks ago. Actually, we opened it today, and we advanced it to the procurement, and it's moving forward. The idea also to execute a purchase order under $50,000 for the continuation of the services and then competitively bid the items. It's just the time of transition. We didn't have time. Like, they were under contracts, and now we're operating October 1st. So we need transitional purchase orders, and then we will come before you for the bigger items. And the telemetry one is under the threshold? Yeah, it is $12,000. It's under the threshold. Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you, Commissioner Andreu. My questions were answered, but I just want to reiterate, in case anybody's listening at home, we talk about pump station 7. We did have a resident who had concerns this week about proceeding through their backyard, and I just want you to reiterate on the record that you will be engaging those residents, that this is all conceptual right now, and you're taking a look at those plans. Definitely, that's why I mentioned North Acres Square, because we will take a similar approach. We will engage the community, but again, this is very, very preliminary at this time, so I was hesitant to give answers because I don't have them yet. You know, once we finish the survey, we engage the design, and we start understanding where we stand and how the design is going to be, we'll start engaging the community and the neighbors. Thank you, Ms. Cailan. I just, I know there was some unease in the South Acres, and they want to make sure that they'll be engaged prior to that, and I know that's what you stated. Actually, I was also invited to the Plantation Acres Home Ours Association for their meeting on September 20th. Great. So I'm planning with administration and the stormwater manager to be there. October? October, October 20th, yes, and educate the resident and have that communication, line of communication open with the residents. Thank you very much. Thank you for the presentation and, again, for everyone's hard work. Any other questions from the commission? I do have one. It's not, I don't know who owns the property anymore. So the property that is adjacent to pay, that's right on the corner, Ms. McCormick probably knows, on 118th and Sunrise. Right? 118th and Sunrise. Are you telling me the Redlands that we foreclosed upon? The one that we, yeah. The Redlands property? It's a little, no, it's a little west of it. The neighborhood right there, it's adjacent to the neighborhood? No, go further west. Yeah, Falcon Estates. Yeah. Okay. The big development property you're talking about. The one that, Ms. Hopkins, is going to do. It's on Sunrise and it abuts 118th from the east. 118th, it's got the wall. It's a big property, 10 acres. Correct. I'm asking because. It's vacant. It's vacant. Okay, yeah, that is not us. I don't know who owns it, and this is outside of kind of this, but it made me, I just passed by there this weekend. And it is so overgrown. And it just looks, it needs some attention. Yeah, I looked it up a while ago on BCPA. It's a developer out of, I think, Coral Springs or Tamarack, but I think we probably need code to take a look at that again. Okay. We can address that. Thank you. Sorry to go off task, but it just, we were talking about that issue. Mr. Menomaker, let's talk about that foreclosed piece. Do we own that currently? We do. We do. Okay. Yeah, we assumed that a while back. Yeah, I thought that we did. Actually several years ago. We haven't talked about that in a while. So once things get settled, we'll revisit what the greater purpose of that might be. And, of course, an engagement with the adjacent residents. Thank you very much. Any other questions? No? All right. The paid consent agenda consists of items one through four and may be approved with one motion. Do I have a motion? Number two. I need to pull three. Okay. I'm sorry. Did I hear two is being pulled? So two and three. Do I have a motion on one and four? Motion to approve item one and four. I don't see any member of the public that wanted to pull, so we have a second. Ms. Biggerow, please call the roll on items one and four. Commissioner Anderson. Yes. Commissioner Andreu. Yes. Commissioner Fadgen. Yes. Commissioner Horland. Yes. Commissioner Reinstein. Yes. Commissioner Sortle. Yes. Item two is designation of registered office, registered agent, and board of commissioners' leadership for the Plantation Acres Improvement District. Commissioner Fadgen. Thank you. Just a small comment regarding Section 2, Line 31. It refers to City Engineer Samira Shallan. So unless she's committed to never retiring, I think we should change it to the City Engineer shall serve as the registered agent of the district. Good point. She didn't say she wanted to never retire. She didn't say she was staying. If this were counsel, I could veto that. But no. So that would be my motion. The motion to approve with that change. Okay. Second. Okay. We've got a person in a second. No further discussion. Ms. Beggarro, please call the roll. Commissioner Anderson. Yes. Commissioner Andreu. Yes. Commissioner Fadgen. Yes. Commissioner Horland. Yes. Commissioner Reinstein. Yes. Commissioner Sortle. Yes. Okay. Commissioner Sortle, you pulled item number three, acceptance of the September 24, 2026. Eight minutes. Reading through the minutes, I'm sorry, I'm not sure who was there because it starts off the four people attending. One is Charlie Klein, and halfway down it becomes Lance Klein, and then it becomes Mr. Fine. So it should be Lance Fain? I don't know. I don't know if there's Charlie Klein who was there or Lance Fain or both. So I think you've got to kick it back to the recording person. Okay. Anybody know? Lance wasn't there. Mr. Fine wasn't there, and that's why we put this as accepting because we won't run the meeting. We don't approve it, so what do we do? We're just accepting the minutes as filed. We can point out for the record that Mr. Fine was not there. Okay. Okay. All right. Then we can make that note. We can still vote yes. Would you like to make a motion? I make the motion to approve. I'll second it. Ms. Spagaro, please call the roll. Commissioner Anderson? Yes. Commissioner Andrew? Yes. Commissioner Fajan? Yes. Commissioner Horland? Yes. Commissioner Reinstein? Yes. Commissioner Sortel? Yes. All right. Thank you very much, Ms. Spagaro. I don't see any cards filled out for public requests of the commissioners regarding paid affairs. No one? All right. With that, it is 6.58. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards. I don't see any cards.
