She stated parking is becoming a problem and she has received complaints about tickets being issued along the swales. Commissioner Calleri questioned if there is any ways to address the issue. Mayor Levy stated it is inappropriate to give tickets due to the known issue of parking at the park and he was unaware of the tickets being issued. Commissioner Callari explained the way people are parking limits the amount of availability and the overflow of cars is causing people to park partially on the sidewalks and those are who are being ticketed. Mayor Levy recommended signs to be added showing how people should park in the area. Commissioner Callari stated looking into more parking and suggested having the Pickleball coordinators look into an app to give people the ability to reserve a time to play rather than waiting.

Keller Jr., City Manager, stated an informal approach was taken and worked at first but then some signs were obstructing right of ways. He stated this needs to be codified with what is to be enforced.

Keller Jr., City Manager, stated he will still work with an informal approach, and he will bring back a design to have codified on a long term basis. Mayor Levy requested if possible, to change the Pen Program policy rather than putting in an Ordinance which would create flexibility in case changes need to be made.

Keller, Jr, City Manager, stated they would look into sharing time on the LED board. Playland Estates City of Hollywood Page 11 Regular City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final March 19, 2025 Commissioner Gruber expressed his confusion regarding the lighting for the Playland Estates entrance. He stated he thought the original plan from FPL was to have two to three lights installed at the entrance on 441 to Playland Estates and recently saw an update showing lights being moved within the park.

Commissioner Biederman, District 5 Playland Estates Commissioner Biederman stated the Playland Estates entrance once had a monument sign that was lighted at the entrance.
