“That's Commissioner Rodriguez has come. I didn't want to know. I'm covering the names on purpose, but whoever that is. Well, it's a public record, so I...”

“OK, I think we can work that into the motion. Mayor, this is just for the RFP, so what we'd We're trying to approve language for you. Yeah, we can add or as approved by the contract manager if that's there. I'm trying to get that approved for you. So that would be part of it. What does the commissioner want?”

“All right, so C6 is written with the Commissioner Rodriguez comment. Any objection to that? No. OK, that one's cleared. C, a D1.”

“I don't want people who we pay for doing that work. I want them working for us, and that's it. I think that that's the cleanest way for the city of Pembroke Pines. This has been troublesome and embarrassing in IG contexts. And I don't want them drifting away. I want them working for us for as long as we can. And if the world changes, we can work it out again. But so long as we have a hand in it, I want them working for us.”

“All righty. So consensus, 7 to 6, Monday through Friday? Monday through Friday? 7 to 6. 7 to 6? Monday through Friday, 7 to 6. Anybody object?”

“I have to tell you, I agree. I think that it's not that it hasn't worked the way We've had it, but the option of having CBO who answers directly to the city and is our employee offers the stronger internal control.”
City Commission · Sep 3, 2026

“It's just too many people. It's too many people. And it doesn't achieve anything. If you've got a CBO who is a city employee, and then you've got an assistant city manager who's the contract manager. The assistant city manager knows enough, but doesn't have to be the one who approves the permits, because all he needs to do is manage the contract. And that's a different discipline. It's a different skill. I'm OK. Commissioner Good has been saying for years that he's been uncomfortable with this setup. And in fairness, it's the only department head that we have that doesn't answer directly to…”

“You were talking about somebody between the CBO and the assistant city manager. This is someone below the CBO. Correct.”

“Where is Commissioner Good on the building department operations manager? I think that's perfectly, I mean, if I, who does that role right now?”
City Commission · Sep 3, 2026
- Play at 3:26:40
“All right, so I'm hearing a consensus for the chief building official and the buildings department operations manager to be Pines employees. And not FCS, it's actually Pines employee. That's correct. Is there an objection? F1 is agreed to.”

“I really don't understand what the issue is with transition. If you need a transition, I believe it should be negotiated when the transition need arises. I don't see a need to... talk about a transition in a proposal other than to put the requirement in that there shall be a transition negotiated between the company and the contract manager.”

“I thought it was a historical as far as how if...”
City Commission · Sep 3, 2026

“I mean, I'm OK. I think you could say that in the event of a termination for convenience, A transition shall be negotiated without city commission approval, not exceeding 180 days. That's it. So I can agree on that one. Because it may take you that long to throw together an RFP.”

“Which one do you want? What do you want said? Just the one. OK, so you've got to come up with terms for transition out.”
City Commission · Sep 3, 2026

“No, any vendor would have to pre-establish their transition out terms. It's out for both.”

“We should ask the other cities, not the vendor. I don't think that's a question I would ask them. I agree with Commissioner Good. We should ask that of the city. I don't see this as being a thing we need. Does anyone disagree? No. OK. H1A, we're almost there.”

“OK. I'm going to say this. It doesn't matter. I think it should be an odd number, but it doesn't matter to me whether it's five or seven. I don't like the idea of bringing people in from outside of the city. I think that that's not good form. So I would not be able to support that. But it doesn't matter to me whether it's five or seven. I just think six makes it complicated for math.”

“There wouldn't be a bid protest on that basis, Commissioner, but it would be a break from tradition.”

“Leave it at five. If the decision falls to bring outside people, then you go to seven.”

“I think it should be none. I think it's bad form. I can't support it.”
