Assistant City Attorney Rosenberg mentioned speaking with all three individuals.

Trecia Myrie-Reid voiced her attendance at the meeting. Vice Mayor Bates nominated Ms. Myrie-Reid to serve on the subject board. Commissioner Grant recalled the subject item was previously tabled to allow Vice Mayor Bates to hear from the individuals wishing to be appointed to the subject board, specifically as to whether they had any experience with budgeting, and to learn more about their interest in serving. She wondered if staff reached out to all the applicants to invite them to the present City Commission meeting, to which City staff answered yes. She asked if any other applicants than Ms. Myrie-Reid were present, and staff replied they were but for different sections. City Attorney Hall clarified the appointment of Eula Murray-Hylton to the ninth board position. Mayor Thurston answered yes. City Attorney Hall indicated sections four and five remained vacant, so they would be brought back to the Commission at a later time. Commissioner Campbell questioned as to sections four and six, as a gentleman, Victor Goulding, was recommended to serve, as he was the president of a central Lauderhill community, but his physical address fell just below the line demarcating sections four and six. Thus, when his name was presented, his address prevented him from being appointed to either section four or six. He noted section six came across the Turnpike, so as well as being out a few streets from section four, Mr. Goulding’s address fell in an area that did not go well with section six either. At the present, there were two possible solutions. One was for the Commission to amend the map of eight sections; or, two, waive the boundary requirements to allow Mr. Goulding. City Attorney Hall recommended the Commission first vote to appoint the selected nominees. Vice Mayor Bates made a motion to Approve the nominees as noted above, including adding Trena Myrie-Reid for section one to Resolution #19R-01-17, seconded by City of Lauderhill Page 5 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final January 28, 2019 Commissioner Berger. The vote was as follows: Vice Mayor Bates Yes Commissioner Berger Yes Commissioner Campbell Yes Commissioner Grant Yes Mayor Thurston Yes City Attorney Hall indicated the City Commission could make a motion to adjust to the mapped lines for section four, moving it a few streets over to include Mr. Goulding’s physical address. Commissioner Campbell remarked the subject board was very new and, in all good faith, he thought when the map was drawn, some issues were not taken into consideration. He made a motion to waive the boundaries drawn for the section four. Vice Mayor Bates seconded the motion. Commissioner Berger questioned how waiving the boundary for section four affected the process. City Attorney Hall explained moving the map around was a more involved process, so it was a simpler exercise to waive the condition for the appointment of Mr. Goulding for the specific section. Moving the boundaries would require a longer discussion that could take place at a workshop with regard to making any adjustments. The waiver was just for section four in central Lauderhill for this one instance. Commissioner Campbell made a motion to Amend Resolution #19R-01-17, waiving the mapped boundary for section four in central Lauderhill, seconded by Vice Mayor Bates. The vote was as follows: Vice Mayor Bates Yes Commissioner Berger Yes Commissioner Campbell Yes Commissioner Grant Yes Mayor Thurston Yes A motion was made by Vice Mayor Bates, seconded by Commissioner Berger, that this Resolution be approved as amended. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 5- Commissioner Berger, Commissioner Campbell, Commissioner Grant, Vice Mayor Bates, and Mayor Thurston Abstain: 0 4.

RESOLUTION NO. 19R-01-19: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL ACCEPTING THE BID (#2019-008) FOR CITYWIDE WALLS FROM MBR CONSTRUCTION TO PROVIDE THE LABOR, MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF VARIOUS PRIVACY WALLS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AS PART OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS; PROVIDING FOR PAYMENT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $3,240,932.16 FROM BUDGET CODE NUMBER 307-343-6378; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE (REQUESTED BY CITY MANAGER, CHARLES FARANDA). Attachments: RES-19R-01-19-bid-privacy walls.pdf AR 19R-01-19 LEGISTAR ATTACHMENT.pdf MBR CONSTRUCTION.pdf Commissioner Campbell understood there was a provision for City staff to review bids that included their ensuring minority/local participation. Assistant City Manager/Assistant City Manager Kennie Hobbs clarified minority participation was preferred, though not required. City Attorney Hall stated this was per the City code requirements. Mr. Hobbs concurred, stating additional points were awarded for minority business participation, but he was unaware of minority participation from bidders being required. Commissioner Campbell said he was voting on the subject item, stating, as to large City contracts, there was discussion in the community that large City construction did not involve minority business or local business participation. He questioned what the City could put in place to ensure the possibility of changing that scenario to require bidders to include the employment of minority businesses and local residents for large City contracts. It would be very difficult for him to vote yes in the future for projects on which he could receive no assurance of participation by minority and local businesses. Mr. Hobbs responded that he could speak to the City’s current programs that were funded with federal dollars. Those programs did not require that contractors use local vendors. He remarked, as it related to the City’s purchasing code or purchasing policy as a whole, additional points were awarded to minority and/or local vendors, reiterating he was not aware of City requirement that main contractors use small/minority/local businesses. City Attorney Hall explained the City had current provisions that required extra points to be awarded when scoring bids. For example, request for proposals (RFP) and bids were City of Lauderhill Page 7 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final January 28, 2019 scored and ranked by City staff, and when this was being done, major contractors or vendors were asked to indicate who their subs were, and whether they were minority, women-owned firms. He said for vendors who indicated they used minority/women-owned firms, staff awarded their bid more points. However, there was no guarantee of being awarded a contract, as a guarantee would be in violation of federal law. Thus, the City could not mandate such participation, but bidders could be asked to voluntarily bring in minority/women-owned/local subcontractors. City Manager Faranda added the provision was included in the City’s code, as the subject matter was debated several times over the course of several years. Thus, the issue was not an arbitrary request made by staff. It was a matter of City staff following the City’s current code as it related to subcontractors. Commissioner Grant commented the bidding process was based on skill sets, an ability to do the required work, so the goal was to hire the most qualified, and not just based on whether the contractor or subcontractors were minority-owned businesses, etc. She agreed it was important to include such businesses in City projects, but large projects required qualified and experienced persons able to execute the needed tasks. She assumed City staff did their due diligence when vetting bidders on such projects. Commissioner Campbell wished to note for the record he was not advocating jobs should be given on those criteria alone. But he was aware there were many qualified persons in the local community that were unable to benefit from working on various City projects, and his future voting would be affected by whether local businesses were included in contracts for City projects, as was his right as a City Commissioner. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Bates, seconded by Commissioner Grant, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 5- Commissioner Berger, Commissioner Campbell, Commissioner Grant, Vice Mayor Bates, and Mayor Thurston Abstain: 0 6.

Vice Mayor Bates thanked City staff for another successful year of hosting the Spelling Bee, noting the final round of the contest took place at City Hall, and the third graders went 24 rounds until a winner emerged. The children worked very hard, so if anyone saw the participants at school, etc., they should congratulate them. She noted the event was well attended by parents and family members, and she wished to thank them for their support. For the adults, on February 16, 2019, the MLK Old School Music Celebration event would take place at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center (LPAC) with guest performers Deniece Williams and Howard Hewitt; tickets were already on sale online and at the LPAC box office. The 2018 event was awesome, and this year would be even better, so everyone was invited to come out and have a good time. Vice Mayor Bates wished to publicly thank the sponsors, including City Attorney Hall, who she knew was one of the personal and continual sponsors of the Spelling Bee event. Commissioner Grant thanked everyone who came out in support of the first Business Power Brunch, noting it was well attended; the purpose of the brunch was for business owners to address questions and concerns to City officials. The event was well received, so it would take place on a quarterly basis. She gave special thanks to the Lauderhill Regional Chamber of Commerce for participating, along with their members who attended the event and encouraged other businesses to join the Chamber and explaining what the Chamber had to offer. The continued success of Lauderhill businesses was the City’s business, as Lauderhill was known as a business-friendly city, and the goal was to continue along those lines. In March, the S.A.K.E. Awards would take place, honoring student/athletes; this event was founded by former Commissioner Hayward Benson, and she was now taking over hosting the event. She would be working with Mr. Benson to ensure the Awards were a success, and she would provide additional information at the next Commission meeting. Mayor Thurston stated on January 19, 2019, he attended the Slow Roll with a Cop event, riding a bicycle ten miles. He had a great time, and it was a lot of fun riding through the northwest community of Lauderhill along with the Inverrary Association. He thought the residents were appreciative of seeing the police officers and participants coming through their neighborhood, and he got a close-up view of the City’s bond work, including the walls, increased lighting, etc. The next Slow Roll was scheduled for March 6, 2019, and it would be leaving from the LPAC at 9:00 a.m. A gardening event took place the past Thursday evening, and the guest speaker, Pat Simpson, was commended for doing an excellent job; she would present at the next gardening event in February 2019. Mayor Thurston mentioned the next Jazz in the Park event at the Eileen Lieberman Botanical Gardens would take place on Sunday, February 10, 2019, featuring Heather Pierson; the free event was 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., so residents could bring their lawn chairs and City of Lauderhill Page 13 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final January 28, 2019 refreshments. A State of the City Address would take place on February 6, 2019, to which everyone was invited. He mentioned receiving copious notes from numerous City departments, and the Address would reflect where the City was as a city; he believed Lauderhill was doing well, and continued to improve. The Chamber was working with City staff and he to draft the State of the City Address, and their help was greatly appreciated. Commissioner Berger mentioned an upcoming event involving Dr. Alan Cunningham, the founder and president of People Profile, an organization that recognized ordinary individuals in the community doing extraordinary things. Dr. Cunningham’s organization hosted their main event in July at the Broward Performing Arts Center, but there would be a launch event prior to that on February 8, 2019, at the Chateau Mar Gold Resort, formerly the Inverrary Hotel. He understood the event was opened to the public, so everyone was encouraged to attend and learn more about the organization. Both Commissioner Grant and he would be in attendance, as they both sat on the board and were very active with Dr. Cunningham. XIX ADJOURNMENT - 8:20 PM City of Lauderhill Page 14
