City Commission - Regular Meeting

Thank you, City Attorney. First, before we get going, a huge shout out to the city for an incredible 9-11 memorial we just had at 6 o'clock outside. For those of you who are here who are able to join us, very proud of our city manager, our Parks and Rec Department, our Public Works, our administrative staff, our police, and our fire for just a really special ceremony. Now I'm going to kick it over to the Vice Mayor for a proclamation recognizing September 15th, 2026 is World Lymphoma Awareness Day. Vice Mayor will read the proclamation into the record, and we will send the proclamation in the

Thank you, Mayor. Whereas lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphomic system and includes many different subtypes that can affect people of all ages. And follicular lymphoma is the most common form of indolent or slow-growing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and accounts for approximately one in five lymphoma diagnoses in the United States. And whereas the median age at diagnosis for follicular lymphoma is approximately 64 years, and oh man, I'm way younger than that. And whereas half the patients are diagnosed at stage three or four, yet advances in treatment have contributed to an overall five-year relative

For the record, I am younger than 64, so it is a little bit of a shock when I found out. I start radiation treatments in two weeks to burn the lymph node out and move on with my life from there. It was a little devastating. I give my wife a lot of credit for putting up with me and going to all the effort to put a very strict diet in place to help me slow down the cancer cells. And hopefully after this radiation treatment, I won't have to talk about this for another 10 to 15 years. So thank you, everybody, for being patient. And I appreciate it.

We will now have input from the public on non-agenda items. I remind everyone wishing to speak that all comments must pertain to city business. Respect and proper decorum will be maintained. Behavior that disrupts the orderly conduct of this meeting, such as clapping, shouting, booing, and cheering, is not permitted. Any person who violates the decorum rules will be subject to remove from the commission chambers. And as a reminder, all comments must pertain to city business. When you come forward to speak, please unmute the microphone, state your name and address clearly. for the record and mu

Resolution 2026-108, a resolution appointing one regular member to the Civil Service Board to fill the remainder of the vacated term ending with the next appointment in April 2027. Is there a motion and a second? Move it. Second. Moved by Commissioner Riedel, seconded by Commissioner Raley. Is there anyone who's signed on to speak on this item?

Are there any nominations? I would, yeah, I mean, yeah.

So first of all, I think this is an extraordinarily important board, and I think the applicants we have are extraordinarily qualified, and I think we have people that have been involved in the city for a number of years. We actually have a graduate of our recent Citizens Academy who has been to meetings and been very engaged in the process. I would make a nomination for Nicole Hall.

ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY. I SUPPORT THAT AS WELL. I SUPPORT THAT AS WELL. SHE'S NOT HERE THOUGH?

OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAD A NOMINATION OF NICOLE SO WE HAD A NOMINATION OF NICOLE HALL. HALL. WE HAD A SECONDED BY WE HAD A SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WELCH. COMMISSIONER WELCH. ARE THERE ANY OTHER? ARE THERE ANY OTHER? ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. are no other nominations oh you want to make a nomination i'm sorry please put on your mic thank you i'd like to nominate gail warrell gail warrell yes she's here is there a second for that nomination i'll second that Okay, so we have a Nicole Hall nominated and a Gail Worrell, is that correct?

Sorry, I know her as Gail Worrell. Sorry, Gail.

It was Gail Daniel. Gail Daniel. Thank you. OK. All right. So now that there's two, do we have any discussion? I mean, Vice Mayor, you said you wanted to have a discussion?

I think there needs to be a discussion. Microphone. I think if Commissioner Raley nominated, I would like to see what her stance is on it.

Yeah, I think Gail has been a, she's a graduate of the Citizens Academy. She has volunteered for several positions for the city. I think she's very enthusiastic about coming to represent the city. So that's why I had nominated Gail.

And then Commissioner, would you like to share about Nicole Hall? The Vice Mayor wanted some information.

Yeah, absolutely. She's a civil servant in government. She chose to move here to raise a family. She's made it a point since graduating from the Citizens Academy wanting to be engaged. And I don't really like any of this, because I think everyone that wants to be engaged in government has a total role to do that. So I think it's a little awkward for that. But I know Ms. Hall intended to be here this evening, but due to the nature of her government service, I don't want to out what she professionally does. It's a redacted resume. She had the inability to do that. i'm a supporter since her desir

Thank you, Commissioner. For the seat, I did appoint Troy, who unfortunately cannot do this seat anymore. So I guess I'll be the tiebreaker in this. Nicole Hall will be my selection for this seat. Please call the roll. So there's a motion and a second.

madam city attorney i believe we have a motion in a second on two different people and it shouldn't isn't it a call for a vote in terms of the selection of the individual commissioner correct thank you madam city attorney do we have a motion and a second for nicole hall yeah we did that i think that i think right right and i think it's a call for your selection it's a vote for a name correct can we call vote for nicole hall

OK, so say who you would like, Commissioner Rydell. Ms. Hall.

While I feel all are definitely qualified, I am going to post a vote for Nicole Hall.

Ready for me? Mm-hmm. Oh, yes. Gail Warrell, Danielle.

And I will be voting for Gail. Nicole Hall.

All right, thank you. We will now move on to an annual report by Chief of Police Fred Hofer to the City Commission regarding the school zone safety enforcement program. Chief?

We'll just go down the line. We'll start with the commissioner at the end.

I guess it's a, I don't want to say a dovetail conversation on last week, but it's going to just be a succinct question. Fred, who have you, Chief, who have you delineated to be in charge of the Red Speed?

I'm with you completely on that. But who is the conduit? Okay. So then my question is going to be very simple, not directed on our department. Have we made it clear to Red Speed who is the conduit for our department? Yes. Okay. Has Red Speed reached out to Captain Shelton with any issues that they're having on the city side, whether from installation, implementation, or citation?

So I have such a tremendous amount of respect for you, so I'm going to be very clear and concise. I'm going to ask the question again. Because you're the best, legitimately the best. Has Red Speed communicated any issues on the city side with you? No. That's the question. That's what I needed to know. I have nothing further. Thank you.

So yes, it was very disappointing, too, when they came before us at the last meeting. And I didn't feel then, and I don't now, that it was a reflection on what was happening within our own city representation. Is the holdup from their submission for their plans or permits to the county?

This is a follow-up to the last meeting. In your conversations with them, to whomever you deal with, do you feel that they know that they're on notice, that by November these things should be active and up and running?

Okay. Now, do you think, and I know this is strictly speculation, but do you think that this whole debacle with FLOC, Do you think that possibly had some impact on stalling our permits?

Okay. And I'd also like to state for the record that Coconut Creek has no cameras on state roads.

Sure. I just want to couch my comments very, very succinctly and clearly. Our police department has done everything we could do to facilitate this. Our development team has done everything we could do to facilitate this. So my issue dovetails on my issue a meeting ago that we gave somebody a contract two years later. They're not living up to the expectations of the contract. It's that simple. So I'm not diminishing the product. They're not the only game in town. But we committed to something. And what bothers me, and again, to Madam City Attorney's point, I'm not trying to get into an issue on

Yeah, it just seems like it's a song and dance with them. And you're dealing with it a lot more than we are, right? Because you're in the trenches with them in a sense, right? Going through the motions, going through this. So to understand, November is when everything is supposed to be up and running. November of 2026?

Has that been the expectation timeline from the get-go?

When was the change, when did they change companies, or engineers? When did that happen?

So they're saying with the new engineering company coming in August, that they will be able to meet the demands and catch up from the other company by November?

I just have a question about are we manually monitoring the schools that don't have the cameras?

I'm asking for consensus from the Commission to put on the November meeting where Redspeed is presenting whether or not we want to continue the contract with Redspeed.

It's consensus to discuss whether to continue with the contract. We specifically signed a contract. They gave us an anytime out. But if their presentation is not what we expect, that's my request for consensus this evening.

I'd like to ask our city attorney, Pyburn, if I can, would you fully update us in the meantime of what the ramifications could or would be? Sure. Okay. Thank you. Then I give consensus.

I think if Red Speed is coming back to us with the November date, I think we should at least give them November and then maybe ask for consensus for December.

The only reason I say it is if they're coming back, they came back, disappointing meeting. If they're coming back in November and it's disappointing, I would love to have an agenda item that we could make a move.

Sure, as long as they have the right to present before we make our consensus.

But it's also important because if they don't meet the demands of the November deadline, it's important for us to at least have this conversation in November when we're promised a certain thing. And that's why I'm okay with the consensus.

Thank you. We will now have Resolution 2026-142, a resolution approving the Cayman Village Condominium Association application for matching grant funds from the Neighborhood Enhancement Grant Program for Energy Conservation Enhancement. Is there a motion to second?

Move it. Second. Mr. Mayor, at this time, I'd like to recuse myself because of my relationship with Windmar.

UNDERSTOOD. IT WAS APPROVED BY COMMISSIONER IDELL AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WELCH AND COMMISSIONER RAYLEIGH HAS RECUSED OR AS WE SAY RECUSED HERSELF FROM THIS ITEM. SHE'S GOING TO THE BATHROOM. SHE'LL BE BACK.

Vice Mayor Birdie. Yes. Mayor Wasserman. Yes. And now, Ordinance 2026-038, City Attorney.

Mr. Mayor, prior to moving the item, I just want to make sure it's 2026-038-2. There is no dash 2 on the script.

On my notes, just to let you know. The item is dash 2. And actually, I just had a conversation with the city manager saying there needs to be a little bit more information on here for the next meeting.

I just want to be clear that I do believe the official ordinance and the city attorney can clarify it is actually 2026038-2. I want to make sure I'm moving the appropriate item, sir. Madam City Attorney, is that the appropriate dash 2 of the item?

so technically the designation of dash one or dash two has to do with whether or not it's before you on first or second reading all right so i'll move dash two thank you so dash two didn't was it necessary second okay you're gonna second dash two okay uh we're gonna open the public hearing when you come forward to speak please unmute the microphone state your name and address clearly for the record meet the microphone when you're done speaking are there any members of the public who'd like to speak on this item Public hearing is now closed. Are there any further questions or comments from the

We're hoping to get you know the full distribution before the October 1st deadline I Would hope I would hope I I'm yeah, I Think I don't want to speak for the whole Commission But I you know with red speed and working with with somebody private and not getting what we want and now For if we don't get it, you know October they need to get make sure but it gets their recycling ends by October 1st That's my take. I don't know how everybody else feels but I

very much appreciate that daryl i'm going to speak to three things very i'll speak to three things very briefly uh it was a short what's going on are you turning me off i'm doing everybody a favor Jamie's at back to school much. She's not listening. Are we good? Are we done? Are we done with your childish games, Mr. Mayor? Yeah, we're done. All right. And this is serious. You can cut me off at the next one. I want to give a word of caution to our city manager. While I appreciate the fact that you want to go to associations and educate, I give you a very, very significant... heed warning that t

No, I was, just as a sidebar on that one, she didn't determine or she didn't disclose what the extension was requested.

And that's kind of what it is. She's giving us the notation of saying, hey, the time's up. We have not seen anything. But what I think is important between now and the next two weeks is all of us independently meet with Madam City Attorney to discuss what parameters we want, what parameters we don't want, what's acceptable, so then we as a board can discuss whatever Madam Rose puts forward or whatever our consensus by the five of us goes to Madam City Attorney. So I'm kind of directing our City Attorney to meet with us individually and then come to all of us formally with an extension packet o

No, I totally agree with that. I mean, the meetings were extremely important before. I just thought that it would already be determined what the extension of request would be. But that's just me.

In my mind, viewing the contract legally, it doesn't speak to that. It's not like a Republic contract where we have one five-year extension.

No, I know she was asking for an extension, but I didn't know the term of the extension.

I don't either. As we sit here, I know what's been conceptualized and discussed, but that's why I'm trying to give us all the ability in the next two weeks to meet with Terrell. and then sheila can meet with tarrell i'm kind of asking for consensus to put tarrell as the principal body to then bring us some bring us an item whether we approve it or not at our next meeting if everyone's okay with consensus to that i'm definitely open to discussion of extension meeting with tarrell but just to be clear time frame time frame wise on her contract There's 180 timeframe. I don't know if we meet that

I mean, I'm going to turn to Madam City Attorney.

I apologize. The reason I'm asking for consensus is because on a timeline front, contract-wise, we need to deal with this at the next meeting, and on that next meeting agenda, there needs to be whatever we agree with, a potential contract extension or not. There has to be terms that we have to address publicly, but I would ask us all to independently meet with Madam City Attorney to address that prior to the next meeting. So that's the consensus I'm asking for and the direction I'm requesting to have her be the negotiating point after she meets with all of us.

So you want me to give you consensus for me to meet with Terrell?

No, I'm asking for consensus as a commission. Because I can meet with her whenever I want. Jeff, I'm not suggesting that. What I'm suggesting is in previous years, members of the commission or other people have been the negotiating body for the city manager. I'm asking for consensus to make Terrell the point of contact for a negotiation, and we all meet with her with our positions, and then she could then negotiate.

And then she puts it together, and she can talk to Sheila with what?

She's our employee. She needs a direction to do that. yeah no problem consensus turning my mic off you just want to be angry at me it's okay um the only other thing i'll say is sam may's contract was extended on the solid waste authority um pending the rfp process to educate you it's a quick meeting so i don't want to belabor anything and i will just say dustin from filthy organics won the county bid today on an unsolicited bid that was no one thought he was going to get it but he got it for a much smaller amount so it's actually very good for composting no further comments

I wouldn't pretend to follow that one. But an excellent 9-11 presentation tonight. And what a backdrop to have the very, very large flag there. I mean, it's a showstopper. So thanks for everyone that was involved. I'm going to go back to the turnpike before I talk about the MPO. Do we have an update on the clearing of the right-of-way on the west side of the turnpike, south of the sawgrass, because it's extremely aggressive. It's right up to the fence lines. And is that as anticipated? Doesn't have to be answered tonight. But I would certainly be, I just, what is the next step? Because once th

We are having a micromobility workshop on November 12, and it is for the MPO, but I just really encourage, if it's livestreamed, if you can take a peek at it, because, you know, as the federal level now, there's a movement towards eliminating bike lanes. So, you know, that could possibly take that off the table. Another suggestion that was made that I thought would really be helpful here is having another Let's Go Biking event and including a facet of that for the micro mobility means of transportation. It's all about the education. The police have done a super job in and around the schools of

And happy birthday to our city attorney. Thank you. Yes, last week, a few days ago. Happy birthday. And happy birthday to our city manager. 9-11 was very moving. Thank you. Thank you very much for putting on the event this evening. And I hope it will be. And thank you, yes, Parks and Rec and special events and facilities. Thank you so much. Great job. The flag is amazing. I hope we're keeping it up through the weekend. It's beautiful. Thank you. And I hope it's a yearly event. I hope we will have hope to see all our first responders tomorrow morning at 830 at the Rec Center in honor of 9-11. A

On a relevant note, Sheila, what Jackie just said, is there school board property in Coconut Creek that we could buy? Just as a point of thought, let's look at that.

That was the only one that was available.

No, I know, but some of these other cities have weird vacant parcels that are owned.

That I'm with, but I'm just curious, at the next meeting, maybe you can update us if there's any unused school board property that maybe the city could, you know, that's all.

Take advantage. Also, and I know we have permission about Kohl's, Can we make that announcement? Coles? Thank you. It was in the journal, but I want our residents to know that Coles on State Road 7 in Hillsboro has been sold to Baptist Health. So we will have a major medical facility over in that area. So very happy about that. So Coconut Creek is going from no major health facilities to two. So that's very exciting. Very happy about that. I do want to And I want to say, from Florida League of Cities, when we had the conference, this micro-mobility, and I think they've reached out to several o

THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'M JUST REALLY ONE THING. TOMORROW IS OUR 9-11 STAIRMASTER CHALLENGE AND A LITTLE HISTORY ON THAT. BACK IN 2018, LIEUTENANT JIM DINGUS AND I CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA. THIS WAS BACK WHEN I WAS WORKING FOR A FITNESS CENTER, NOT TO BE NAMED. It was kind of an idea that we do something to publicly show our respect for 9-11 and to honor our own first responders. So we came up with this little plan, and we did this thing, and it was great. So this is the actual eighth year of this challenge that we actually moved into our city. It's the same one we did there. We just decided that it

I got so many bad backs and knees and hips. I don't need to get myself hurt doing that. I did it one year, and I'm still limping. I can't. I can't. When you get blown up, it tends to mess some things up. So, yeah, it's a great thing to show honor to everybody. And the first 110 people who participate are going to get a nice little bag so they can go to the gym on their own with their nice little memorial bag. Hint, hint, hint. And so I'll see everybody out there tomorrow morning bright and early. Chief's going to be leading the way. I heard Mike is going to be on the other treadmill next to hi

Make excuses now. We got all month. We can do it. There's no time limit on this, guys. All right. Thank you very much. That's all I have.

Thank you, Vice Mayor. And I'll be there in the morning as well. It's actually something that a lot of schools do. They've been doing it for a really long time. So for the city to adopt it is really cool and unique. So props to the city for doing that. I had a couple things. A lot of people... What happened? Oh, you're still going after him for that? Okay.

So some concerns about Coconut Creek K-8, you know, people running stop signs, not having, you know, proper police. I know Chief and I, we kind of approached the topic recently. I mean... it's i mean there's videos of people you know not stopping and it's just um it's becoming a little bit of a hotbed so i'd appreciate you know a little more um effort in that area um because uh people are getting very frustrated with uh people not listen it's residents people it's citizens residents who aren't following the laws they're not following the rules we get it um it's our neighbors who aren't doing i

Understood. Mayor, I don't want to be disrespectful. Madam City Manager, if you're going to share, if there's going to be a presentation that you intend to do and commit in associations, I'm asking that be shared with us. You already asked that. I heard that. You already asked that earlier. No, but I didn't hear an answer to that. Jeff?

Thank you. Okay. Madam City Manager, we had talked about showing our residents exactly what comes in, as income to the city from their taxes and what actually is spent. And I think that's important to show our residents. We do have pie graphs that I think that we put in our PAFR and I think that's important to reiterate to each and every resident that this is what we depend on and this is how our city is run. The operating expenses comes from them and this is how we can operate.

Thank you. And then, okay, so with that, so the flock cameras, it's like a hot topic, right? It's a really, people have this idea, right? And like the government's watching and this and that. And I asked the chief for information about the flock cameras. How often are we using them? Or how often are other organizations reaching out? What? A lot of sidebar. Just asking how often is it used and, you know, because there is this sentiment, right? But at the same time, people have cell phones in their pocket that's listening to everything they're doing, everything they're, you know, and they're on.

i'd like to hear what you guys have to think about it yeah i think this evening is probably a flawed venue to do that and i think if you want to have a discussion on flock cameras i think it'd be appropriate that you should direct and get consensus to the city manager to ask our police chief to do a presentation on the item where we could ask appropriate questions not during commission comments that would be my position mr mayor i i agree sounds good to me yes all right um thank you

YEAH, BECAUSE I WAS THE THIRD. YEAH, BECAUSE I WAS THE THIRD. YEAH, BECAUSE I WAS THE THIRD. MONARCH HIGH SCHOOL JUST GOT MONARCH HIGH SCHOOL JUST GOT MONARCH HIGH SCHOOL JUST GOT APPROVAL FOR TURF AND BLEACHERS APPROVAL FOR TURF AND BLEACHERS APPROVAL FOR TURF AND BLEACHERS FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD. FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD. FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD. SO THERE'S NOW LIKE LIGHT UP THE SO THERE'S NOW LIKE LIGHT UP THE SO THERE'S NOW LIKE LIGHT UP THE STADIUM. STADIUM. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS SAW I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS SAW I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS SAW THAT. THAT. THAT. YES, COMMISSIONER RIDELL, YES, COMMISSIONER R You guys did not just, we had three people consensus for the next, for us to have a flat camera presentation. Yeah, what are you talking about?

No, I didn't say that. I said if you're going to have a discussion, the appropriate venue would be to ask the commission for consensus and then have an item for the purposes of presentation. That was my exact verbatim words. There was not a request for consensus. At this time, I'd like to meet with the police chief, and I'd like to educate myself independently before we have a public discussion, before I give consensus. That's my position tonight. So no, I don't give consensus, but I'm asking Madam Rose if I can meet with the police chief next week. Obviously, I don't want to violate the hierarchy, and I'd like to have a discussion with the police chief on the issue prior to having a public discussion on it.

Well, I... I believe we got a reiteration of the current status of LPRs, et cetera, in our city already in our weekly report. And a one-on-one with the chief and or the city manager going over those remarks would probably be a refresher before we have the public comments or public discussion. I felt comfortable with what we were provided earlier from the police chief through the weekly reports in how our status is for them today.

At this point, I think we're talking theoretically because we do not have any flock cameras on state roads in Coconut Creek.

mean with others they are in our city but they are not on state roads i don't think that's the mayor's dissertation i think the mayor's assertion i don't want to speak for him is whether we choose to use the technology or not is what i've viewed that as what what's the point i want to understand how often we're using the technology okay how often other municipalities and other i mean other law enforcement agencies are reaching out to us using the info Yes.

Okay. So, yeah, I would definitely want to meet one-on-one before we have a public discussion. Sure.

All right. Then we can regroup. Mr. Mayor, if you choose, because you have the authority as the mayor, you can put this on as a discussion item at the next commission meeting, and we can do the same thing we're doing with the city manager's contract.

Thank you. So, yeah, Monarch just got approved for turf and bleachers by the school board. I don't know if you guys have seen that. and now there's this discussion of lights. What's the point of bleachers and turf if there's no lights? So it's really like backwards what the school district is doing, but that's par for the course.

And it's interesting you say that, because I was told that the funds would not be there for turf if lights were not already on the fields. So I guess there was some backpedaling. And I mean, that's OK, because at least the foundation is there and then the rest can follow in whatever means, because I know that's going to come from the school district.

Yeah, I would have preferred that they approve lights, and then do the turf, because the lights is really the most important and expensive thing.

Commissioner Sarah had indicated that the funds were available for the turf only, and not for lights, but maybe things have changed. I don't know, but At least it's headed in a good trajectory.

I have to say, Coconut Creek High School, they did the turf. It's beautiful. We were all there. It was beautiful. It's about time that they started putting money into our schools. Yeah.

All right. It's been a meeting. Lashana Tova, motion?
