42:00•Rex Hardin

Very good. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. Appreciate your participation in this process also. Commission questions? Commissioner Perkins.

42:11•Beverly Perkins

Yes, thank you for the information. So is this study based on the Pampanoag Air Park?

42:44•Beverly Perkins

Okay, so the sample locations where you found a little bit more lead than usual, you said was north?

43:47•Rex Hardin

Very good. Further questions, concerns? Commissioner Fasik?

43:52 – 44:59•Audrey Fesik

First of all, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your work and for what you brought to us. This has been a concern of some residents for quite some time. in the air park and and everything and so i want to make sure that very specifically i say thank you to the entire community uh you mentioned a pizzeria peter's pizzeria thank you for also hosting us um as a group but this has been a long-term project and it's i would welcome a lot more interaction between UF and education as a whole moving forward. But this is a prime example of what happens when neighbors come together and wo

46:17 – 46:44•Audrey Fesik

okay for some of those properties that were maybe closer well i'm i'm grateful let's start there i'm grateful that there's not a five alarm fire here with you know with with our with the findings obviously that's a good thing for us as a city um is there a is there some recommendations that you know if perhaps people will have concerns about how to try to mitigate some of lead in these maybe higher concentrated areas what they might be able to do

47:48 – 48:12•Audrey Fesik

And I guess one other question. Is there, we got an email earlier today, is there a recommended, you mentioned testing so you can have a baseline and potentially make sure that it's not increasing. What type of, I guess what type of recommendation would you have as a city for us to just make sure we stay on top of things? Would you recommend any sort of testing on a?

49:44 – 50:08•Rhonda Sigerson-Eaton

Hello, and again, thank you for being here. You're an expert in your field, and I'm not, so I did receive this summary. Is there an accompanying report, full report, that you're offering to the commission for further information?

50:20•Rhonda Sigerson-Eaton

Okay, so next question, that would be great. The next question, you said houses of worship. And I see some of the samplings, roadside samplings.

51:18•Rhonda Sigerson-Eaton

If they gave you the coordinates, that's easily discoverable on a map.

51:25 – 51:45•Rhonda Sigerson-Eaton

Okay, my next question is, on this graph that we're looking at on the screen, and see, what does that denote? Excuse me? On the graph on the screen, the first blue column. Okay.

52:18 – 52:40•Rhonda Sigerson-Eaton

Was there anywhere, that there are samples that you found lead values higher than the norm or, well yes you did, but higher than, at a dangerous level, or were they within a certain acceptable standard?

54:33•Rhonda Sigerson-Eaton

Thank you, thank you very much. Thanks, Mayor.

54:42 – 55:03•Rex Hardin

Just thank you once again for being here, sir. I appreciate your efforts and, you know, thanks for the information. Seriously. I'd also like to thank Clint Mueller for making this happen. He really pursued this and thank him for pursuing this and getting it done. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Very good. Thank you. Appreciate it, sir.

55:06 – 55:36•Audrey Fesik

I didn't want to interrupt you. And I appreciate you again. Thank you for coming to this. I Is there, since you mentioned that you centered things around the air park and then everything else and immediate like very screaming need. Is there something there that we should be looking into as we grow our airpark or as we grow our, as we grow as a city that we should potentially look into or maybe find another, I mean, organization to monitor this?

56:36•Audrey Fesik

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure we were covering all our bases.

56:40 – 56:51•Rex Hardin

Very good. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Thank you for the information. All right. That takes us up to audience to be heard. Mr. Alford, do we have anyone sign up for audience to be heard?

57:07•Rex Hardin

Please come forward. Just name and address the record. Please limit your comments to three minutes.

59:09 – 59:27•Rex Hardin

Appreciate all you've done for our city. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Renner. And thank you to the entire commission and staff for making this possible, what Pompano Beach has become. Next speaker.

1:10:39•Rex Hardin

Thank you, Ms. Lyons. Appreciate it. Thank you, Mr. Berman.

1:10:45 – 1:10:59•Beverly Perkins

I have a question. Can you explain to me the The purpose and what happens doing qualifying for the June? It's called qualifying for a reason. Can you explain any of that?

1:11:22•Beverly Perkins

Okay, so the supervisor of elections office really do the qualifying. In other words, they do the background check and they look into all the information to make sure it's correct.

1:11:38 – 1:12:00•Beverly Perkins

So who is it that determines when a person is qualified and not qualified? So you said when Kervin qualifies us, I guess the second week of June, he sends the paperwork to the supervisor of elections office in Fort Lauderdale. Correct. And the supervisor of elections office does what?

1:12:18•Beverly Perkins

Okay, so how would a Supervisor of Elections office know to do a background check? Does somebody have to request it, or?

1:12:31 – 1:12:58•Beverly Perkins

So, I'm confused, help me out. Okay. So what I'm trying to understand is if, say for instance, I file in June, and I've been living in a different area, who determines that, who finds that? Who knows to look for that?

1:13:12 – 1:13:24•Beverly Perkins

How would the court know someone has to tell somebody or somebody has to say something to look into it? Who is it that finds that information to be incorrect? How would they know it's incorrect? I mean, who's looking for it?

1:13:45•Beverly Perkins

No, I know what you're saying, but you're not answering my question.

1:13:50 – 1:14:01•Beverly Perkins

If there is an issue with a candidate doing qualifying, who finds it, who detects it, is my question. Nobody knows?

1:14:11•Beverly Perkins

The public. Is that correct? It could be the public?

1:14:32 – 1:14:50•Alison Fournier

All right, thank you. Thank you so much for that. I have a follow up question. So if someone is in receipt of information and had concerns about the residency of someone who was qualifying, what should they do? What should that resident or commissioner do with that information?

1:16:06•Alison Fournier

Okay, so would you recommend if someone was in receipt of that information or had concerns about whether someone actually qualified that that person sit on that information for seven months?

1:16:33•Alison Fournier

I guess my question is, is there some obligation to bring forth this information expediently?

1:16:52•Alison Fournier

I think it was admittedly sat on for seven months. So you're saying that there is no obligation to bring that information forward?

1:17:32 – 1:17:51•Alison Fournier

i'm not talking about that case i'm talking about what i was following about commissioner perkins comments about uh you know what happens during qualifying and and if someone had information that they believed proved someone didn't live in the district that they were on the ballot for do they have an obligation to bring that forward that was my question

1:17:58•Alison Fournier

So it's just a question of your personal values and whether a person wants to bring that forward and when, not a legal obligation.

1:18:10 – 1:19:08•Rex Hardin

Mr. Berman, on the question of timing, if someone discovers information, um or perhaps miss lyons would it be accurate to state that if this information were discovered the day after qualifying ends it's too late to to to get somebody else on the ballot in accordance with both state and federal laws judge frank opined and rule ultimately ruled gotcha so the judge has stated that you've got to qualify during the qualifying period that the supervisor of elections set up. Whenever anybody found any information about anybody, if it was after the qualifying ended, the option for someone else to jum

1:19:26 – 1:19:37•Rex Hardin

And Mr. Berman, when this latest lawsuit came forth, you had to take a position to defend the city, correct? That's your job.

1:19:54 – 1:20:08•Rex Hardin

I understand that, but specifically, there's been some Some folks have said that, well, the city should not have taken a position in this, so to speak, putting your thumb on the scale. But you had to because the city was being sued, correct?

1:20:17•Rex Hardin

Right. So you were following the law as opposed to just what somebody wanted.

1:20:53 – 1:21:38•Rhonda Sigerson-Eaton

Yes, thank you. And I would also add that what Mr. King's residency prior to the qualifying period was irrelevant. It wasn't until he qualified in June was there a problem. So I think you can also end it. Who would say that it would be a definite thing that Mr. King was qualifying? How would Commissioner Smith know that he was going to run until he qualified, which was at the end of June? So it was July, August, and the hearing was September 4th. So we did act in a timely manner when it was ripe. Thank you.

1:21:43 – 1:23:10•Audrey Fesik

Thank you. I'd like to kind of take this from a different angle, because I don't want it to get heated. I want everybody to just kind of take a breath for a minute, okay? Mr. Berman, if, as an elected official, we become in receipt of information well before a certain timeframe, aka in this situation qualifying, or the final qualifying period, and we are sitting in receipt of that information, do we have any sort of legal obligation to the residents of the city to be honest and forthcoming with that. And I'll use myself as an example, and Mr. Alfred can attest to this. I became aware that a ca

1:23:47 – 1:24:21•Audrey Fesik

Thank you. And I have one final question related to that. It was shared on a public outlet that not only was the information received back in February, but that at some point it was disclosed to not only family members, pastor, attorney, but also to the city. If that was disclosed to the city prior to qualifying period, would the city have had an obligation to ensure that that was noted somewhere?

1:24:32 – 1:24:44•Audrey Fesik

Would an employee of the city, if notified, and I'm not sure who, Would that person be obligated to make sure that that was made aware to the city clerk there?

1:24:52 – 1:25:18•Darlene Smith

I just want to make a statement that I did report it to the city, and the city really doesn't have any means to do anything about it, just as they mentioned. I think we probably need to look at that going forward, just as we need to look at changing some of the state laws, so that when something is brought forward, that the city does have authority to do something with it. I did not sit on it. I did report it.

1:25:20•Rex Hardin

Very good. Thank you, Commissioner. And thank you, Ms. Lyons and Mr. Berman. Thank you. All right, let's continue with audience to be heard. Next speaker.

1:29:04•Rex Hardin

First I've got Commissioner Perkins. Go ahead, Commissioner.

1:29:07 – 1:29:21•Beverly Perkins

I just want to ask you, Governor, to look in to see if there's a representative on the airport board from the northwest. I'm not sure. You don't have to let me know now, but you do. Okay. Thank you.

1:29:21•Rex Hardin

I've got Commissioner Fessick. Can you just remind people to address the chair? We've got Commissioner Fessick, then I'll come back to Vice Mayor. Commissioner Fessick?

1:37:17 – 1:38:14•Audrey Fesik

Thank you. Two things. I seem to remember us addressing the City Commission during audience to be heard. Thank you for, again, not following the rules of our procedure. Secondly, Mr. Alfred, I want to address something quickly to you. I'm not aware of the timeframe between which those two things occurred. And so for whatever reason, public records requests, obviously, prior to or whatever, so I don't recall the timeframe of which when I received a public records request that was redacted versus that to when it was made public that there was some sort of, I don't even know what's out there to b

1:38:14 – 1:38:32•Rex Hardin

Ladies, Ms. Peterson, please. I'm going to ask you to be quiet. Mr. King, I'm going to ask you again. No, this is your second. Please be quiet, sir. Thank you. Vice Mayor.

1:38:34 – 1:38:54•Alison Fournier

Thank you. I just want to read from our rules of conduct to remind people that comments shall be directed to the Commission as a body and not to individual Commission members to avoid those types of exchanges. And that's not just Commissioner Fezzik. All of us are. It should go to the chair and the Commission as a whole. Thank you.

1:57:42 – 1:58:16•Alison Fournier

Thank you. I just wanted to point out in the backup that we did have our actuary look at the potential impact of this change on our pension, and they concluded that there would be no change in assumptions or anything, any impact. So... Obviously, we're complying with the law, but there is not a financial impact that they can estimate for this change. That's correct, Mr. Donovan?

1:58:21 – 1:58:47•Alison Fournier

Okay. Thank you. I assume, well, so, I mean, this is a tough one to talk about, but it happens, I guess. But it's relatively rare, so it won't impact the pension assumptions. So I just wanted to make sure we were comprehensive in how we looked at this and any potential impacts. Thank you.

1:58:48•Rex Hardin

Very good. Further commission? Commissioner Fessick.

1:58:51 – 1:59:19•Audrey Fesik

Thank you. I also was looking at the back up, and I just wanted to ask with the numbers for the administrative expenses that are going up from basically 0.6% to 0.8%, and then the quarterly charge from 0.15% to 0.2%. Is that in line with other municipalities? Basically, are we somewhere in the middle? Are we right on line? Is it states? Sponsored, what's the deal with that number?

2:00:43•Audrey Fesik

Okay, thank you. And our drop program for this particular is different than our general employee's drop program, correct?

2:01:23 – 2:01:45•Audrey Fesik

Thank you. And then one last question. Do we have, I know we have a cap, I believe we have a cap on our general employees drop, you know, banked hours, things like that. Do we also have a cap here for that? Banked hours. Thanks for either vacation or sick hours. Do we have a cap on banked hours in general?

2:02:21•Rex Hardin

Very good. Further commission discussion? Seeing none, let's go ahead and call the roll.

2:02:37 – 2:03:00•Rex Hardin

No. Our next scheduled meetings, we have September 23rd, 2026 at 6 p.m. That's final budget hearing. That is tomorrow. Then October 13th, 2026 at 1 p.m., a regular city commission meeting. That takes us up to reports. Mr. Harrison.

2:03:30•Rex Hardin

All right. Thank you. Mr. Berman, city attorney.

2:04:20•Rex Hardin

Very good, thank you for that pre-announcement, so to speak. Very good, thank you. Mr. Alfred, city clerk.

2:07:17•Rex Hardin

Very good. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that update. Commissioner Fessick.

2:07:20 – 2:08:23•Audrey Fesik

Thank you. So I wanted to start with, I only have a few things today, but I wanted to start with, again, thank you to everybody who came out on August 1st. Thank you to the UF team. Thank you to everybody who was involved with just learning more about what is in our community and what's being done in the community and having that wherewithal to kind of come together as a community to do the lead testing. Mr. Mueller sent us all an email with some information and requests from us. Commissioner Perkins, you asked specifically about some of the local high points, and he did send that to me. a pri

2:08:23•Beverly Perkins

Do you know where the church is, where it's located in the Northwest? There is.

2:08:29 – 2:11:18•Audrey Fesik

333 Northwest 3rd Street. And just because so so if there's additional information, I'm sure he can get it to you Anyway, but so I would like to start with just asking mr. Harrison since he did send us all this information I'd like to put the he sent us two different attachments. I'd like to put the first bit of the recommended next steps following the study to ask you to converse with mr. Rocco and and maybe share this information with Mr. Rocco and perhaps bring this back, bring some of this information back to us as an agenda item so we can discuss either the merits of, I guess, the soil-le

2:11:20•Rex Hardin

Okay, it's been moved and seconded to direct staff to initiate.

2:11:25•Audrey Fesik

To initiate a Part 150 noise compatibility program for Pompano Beach Air Park.

2:12:04 – 2:12:32•Audrey Fesik

Well the lead study was for the first part and I appreciate that. This particular part was just for the study and for the 150 noise study and that one they've already kind of outlined. what that looks like, so. The motion, and yeah, so then when it comes back to us, you can definitely bring that to us as an agenda item, but if we can make, we're just motioning and directing to initiate that and make sure that that's going, getting into motion. That was what the motion was and seconded.

2:12:33•Rex Hardin

Okay, it's been moved and seconded to direct staff to initiate a part 150.

2:12:37•Audrey Fesik

Noise compatibility program for Palmetto Beach Air Park.

2:12:42 – 2:13:35•Rex Hardin

Noise compatibility program for Palmetto, pompano beach air park so it's not just a 150 study study right yeah i'm sorry that's what it says basically just noise noise part 150 noise study okay initiate that whatever needs to happen for for that to be part of it then let's okay i was just trying to get the wording down it's your your motion though that's that's fine um okay and mr harrison has made his recommendation that uh he get with Mr. Rocco and get you information back before that happens. But that is immaterial to your motion. It's been moved and seconded. Okay. This is a public hearing

2:15:03•Rex Hardin

Very good. Further input from the public? Seeing none, public input closed. Commission discussion. Commissioner Seegerson-Eaton.

2:15:14 – 2:16:03•Rhonda Sigerson-Eaton

Thank you, so the last time we were, the last meeting, this was something that was discussed, but there was so much information about so many different things that came up. I would ask whether this is a question, by initiating the study, we're voting yes, we're saying we are voting for the study. And I agree, there was a lot of history, We've had the studies done before. I would like to see what it's gonna cost the taxpayers, as well as the backup information that really wasn't covered. So I'd like to see this go on as an agenda item with more information.

2:16:06•Rex Hardin

Thank you. Very good. Further, Commissioner Smith.

2:16:10 – 2:16:28•Darlene Smith

At the last meeting, that same motion came up and it died for lack of a second, but we did approve a study for the traffic patterns. Would they not be related, the traffic patterns and the noise? Two different things. Two completely different studies?

2:16:30•Rex Hardin

Yes, but that's not what's being considered here.

2:16:34 – 2:17:05•Darlene Smith

Right, so it would make sense as Mr. Harrison pointed out, let's get some information of how much it's gonna cost, because we heard last meeting that the one we've already requested for the traffic patterns, I believe Mr. Rocco said could be around $25,000. He said 100, 25. I don't remember the exact amount, but maybe we should find out and couldn't they both be done at the same time by the same person and combined together.

2:17:07•Rex Hardin

Thank you good for the Commissioner Fessick.

2:17:10 – 2:20:07•Audrey Fesik

Thank you. Okay. So these are two different things completely separate from one another So I will I'll read since I'll just read it into the record so it's easier So part 150 noise compatibility program is the FAA's formal federally recognized framework For studying and reducing an airport's noise impact on the surrounding community. It is voluntary meaning the city has to pursue it It is the standard tool The air park's pier airports have used for decades. Boca Raton has had one since 1991, Fort Lauderdale Executive since 1988, and yet here with all of our progress, Pompano Beach Air Park has

2:20:07•Rex Hardin

Very good. Thank you. We've got Commissioner Segrist in Eden.

2:20:11 – 2:21:20•Rhonda Sigerson-Eaton

Yes, I just want to state that I'm not against doing a study. I feel it needs to be an agenda item. If you were to amend your motion to include it, to add it to an agenda item, then we're getting all the backup because what you just read into the record is not adequate enough information for me without my thorough investigation, studying, et cetera, et cetera, learning the rules and doing my due diligence. It's not enough for me as an agenda item when we have all the backup. And as well, I... Just thought we had a study, a noise study done back in 2016. That's my understanding. Well, you can s

2:21:20•Rex Hardin

Thank you. Good. Further commission discussion? Okay, let's call the roll on the motion.

2:21:34•Darlene Smith

I would like an agenda, too, so I'm going to vote no.

2:21:39•Rex Hardin

Mayor Hardin? No. Commissioner Fezzik, do you still have one? Thank you.

2:21:43•Audrey Fesik

All right, so I'll go ahead and make a motion that the same exact thing come back as an agenda item. Second. Second. Thank you.

2:21:51•Rex Hardin

It has been moved and seconded for... the same exact thing to come back as an agenda item.

2:22:00 – 2:22:16•Audrey Fesik

So basically, so we'll do the Part 150 study and have that come back and have staff, DART staff, to have that come back to us as an agenda item. As Commissioner Sigurdsson-Eaton said, she would prefer additional information. I feel like we have provided a lot of it, but if it makes everybody more comfortable, my goal is to just get this done. Thank you.

2:22:17•Rex Hardin

Very good. Moved and seconded to put it on the agenda, basically.

2:22:24•Audrey Fesik

And I'd like to even make that more specific to be on our next agenda for October 13th. Thank you. 13th.

2:22:32•Rex Hardin

Okay. I've got Commissioner Seegerson-Eaton.

2:22:36 – 2:22:52•Rhonda Sigerson-Eaton

Well, I was going to say, too. Okay. You didn't have to speak to the manager on the agenda, but again, I'm glad it needs to be on the agenda. And it's just to decide at that point whether we are going to do a study.

2:22:56•Rex Hardin

Okay. Yes. Okay. Any further commission discussion? Seeing none, let's go ahead and call the roll on a motion.

2:23:13 – 2:23:44•Audrey Fesik

Yes. Thank you very much everybody. This is a good step and I know that the residents are really happy that we're trying to work together for their overall safety and concerns. So the next thing, I just had a question related to the fishing village because it came up during our CRA budget meeting. last week. The fishing village itself, that is one of our, that is our park land, correct, Mr. Berman? It was originally our parks and recreation land that we converted to a public-private partnership city land?

2:23:59 – 2:24:39•Audrey Fesik

Or was it open recreation? I think maybe something along those lines of spark in the parking lot. Okay. The other, the only reason why I was asking that is because I was kind of just digging through, um, some of the partnership agreements that we had back in, I think it was 2015. There's been multiple amendments up to 2021 and beyond. I was looking into the leases and the subleases and trying to dig down how much we are anticipating, whether it go through the CRA or to the city directly from some of those subleases and the subtenants. Is that something that is provided to the city? The subleas

2:24:43•Audrey Fesik

Okay, I haven't been able to find any of the subleases. I wasn't sure if that's something that's really available to us before I asked.

2:25:15 – 2:25:51•Audrey Fesik

Perfect. Thank you so much. I just wanted to get a better understanding of that and the public land and the facilities on top of it and how that looks and how that's structured. The last thing I have is I'm And Mr. Moore will correct me if I'm wrong, but we got our lovely list of activities. But one of the big things that I know I'm excited about is Music Under the Stars. Mark your calendars for October 9th at the Great Lawn. And again, thank you to the Binding Irish Pub for the sponsoring of that. They've been longtime partners of ours. And I hope everybody has a great rest of your month. Tha

2:25:54 – 2:27:34•Beverly Perkins

Thank you, Mayor. I wanted to correct a birthday. The last commission meeting, I acknowledged and wished Mr. Elijah Wooten a happy birthday, and I said, happy 74, and he's 94. So Mr. Wooten, Elijah Wooten, he turned 94 this month, one of the pioneers in our community, or our city. I'd like to request that BSO look into the shot spotter again. I had a young lady that let me listen to her video of a lot of shooting taking place in Liberty Park community, and no one called the police, she said, and no one ever came. So I still think we need that shot spotter. I think we need to look into that. I

2:27:35•Rex Hardin

Very good. Thank you, Commissioner. Commissioner Seegerson-Eaton.

2:27:41 – 2:27:59•Rhonda Sigerson-Eaton

Yes, thank you, Mayor. I just want to remind everyone that Untapped is going to return to old downtown Pompano October 2nd. It's going to be a big welcome back, so I want to see everybody turn out. Thanks a lot. That's all I have, Mayor.

2:28:02 – 2:29:27•Darlene Smith

Something positive about the meeting tonight, it was a great study on the lead levels and the team effort to do that. And it was also interesting to see the things that Jelani Woods' department at the University of Florida does actually right here. And I know that the kappa foundation has been wanting to start a community garden so i'm going to connect them up with the university of florida and maybe then get them started over there with their community garden so that's great to need see they're willing to work in our community in district 5 on september 15th there was the 2026 pomp grant awar

2:29:30 – 2:30:22•Beverly Perkins

Sure. I was listening to- One of the commissioners say the UNTAP is starting again, and then I heard the other commissioner say something about Music Under the Stars, and I think we need to look into Soulful Sundays at the Ally Building. They're cutting back funds, and I'm seeing funds in certain areas not cut back, so I think we need to take a look at that, even cutting back funds of closing the Blanchelli Museum, and closing the Ally Building for appointments only. I think that's something you need to look into, Mr. City Manager. As we're continuing with UNTAP, we're continuing with the Musi

2:30:25 – 2:31:07•Audrey Fesik

I'm sorry, Mayor. Commissioner Fessick. Thank you. I want to just add on to that. So one of the things, Commissioner Perkins, is We have sponsors for Music Under the Stars and for Untapped. And we might want to, for Soulful Sundays, if funding is an issue, you might want to look into finding out if there's a local business or something that might want to fund it. I'm actually also working with, I was working with Mr. Bosworth initially just to discuss optional other sponsorship opportunities since we are potentially having some funding issues. to continue those local events and have them poten

2:31:14 – 2:34:57•Alison Fournier

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT FAIRNESS QUICKLY ALSO. IN THE PAST OUR PIO SANDRA KING HAS TOLD ME THAT IF THERE IS A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST RELATED TO ONE OF US ON THE COMMISSION HERE FROM THE MEDIA THAT SHE WOULD ALERT US JUST AS A FYI SO THAT YOU KNOW THAT THE CITY IS RELEASING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU. AND IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION That is not happening, at least for some of us. So I would request that if that is the policy, that we see that in writing and that it is followed in a fair way. With respect to things going on in District 3, there's a lot. So Circuit is coming to District 3 starting Octobe

2:34:58•Rex Hardin
