R-2018-178 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF City of Hollywood Page 25 Regular City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final May 16, 2018 HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO FILE A CIVIL ACTION TO PREVENT THE USE OF THE PROPERTY AT 1818 SHERIDAN STREET IN VIOLATION OF THE CITY’S LAND USE REGULATIONS. ACTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Hernandez, which was seconded by Commissioner Sherwood, to adopt the Resolution. On a voice vote the motion passed unanimously. (7-0) . City Attorney Public Service Week Douglas Gonzales, City Attorney, stated last week was Public Service Week and he really enjoyed the events, and he thanked staff for a wonderful job. Updates Douglas Gonzales, City Attorney, provided updated responses to Commissioner Callari's questions. In regards to the PERC issue, last week the City received from the Hearing Officer the proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law, and each party has 15 days to provide exceptions to the recommended order. The recommended order was very favorable to the City. Once the final order is entered, both parties have 30 days to appeal in court, this is for the PBA case only. The Fire case challenge was heard 2 to 3 weeks ago, the City submitted proposed findings of fact and the Hearing Officer will submit her findings of fact within the next few weeks. Douglas Gonzales, City Attorney, explained the City is desirous of moving forward as well, the City is showing good faith in resolving issues from financial urgency, as the City has begun restoration of employee pay without any order. The City Commission recently approved wage increases for both police and fire without a new collective bargaining agreement. Douglas Gonzales, City Attorney, stated in regards to the question was the city guilty of an unfair labor practice, the Headley case had not been decided by the Florida Supreme Court at that point. In 2011 the City was faced with a bleak situation, to either file bankruptcy or reduce wages and there was no intent to commit an unfair labor practice. As a result of issues with the Headley case, it was determined the City did not follow exactly the procedure as prescribed in the Florida Statutes, and Hearing Officer with the PBA case, believes the City was guilty of an unfair labor practice, the City did not agree, but did not challenge. The sole issue for the PERC hearings with the PBA and Fire cases was the waiver City of Hollywood Page 26 Regular City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final May 16, 2018 provision. The Hearing Officer found the waiver provision was clear and the union voluntarily had waived any remedy they had for the unfair labor practice order. Commissioner Callari stated she hopes that the City continues to move forward and continues to work with the unions, as we cannot afford to lose any more employees. 57. City Manager Public Safety Dr. Wazir Ishmael, City Manager, stated the City has continued to make progress with the public safety groups, as in the recent agreements with them, and the reformed planned retirement language was included for Fire. Open House Dr. Wazir Ishmael, City Manager, announced the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) had an open house tonight at Highland Gardens Civic Association. SPARK Dr. Wazir Ishmael, City Manager, announced tomorrow evening the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will be hosting SPARK Hollywood, a business competition event at Circ Hotel. Margaritaville Agreement Dr. Wazir Ishmael, City Manager, asked the elected officials to send their question regarding the Margaritaville agreement to him early in order that staff can have the answers for the workshop meeting. Happy Anniversary Commissioner Biederman wished a happy 21st year anniversary to his wife. 58. The meeting adjourned at 9:14 PM. ______________________________ Patricia A.
