Attachments: RES-19R-03-51-Proposal-West Construction-Golf Course Design Build.pdf AR 19R-03-51 RFP 2019-003B WEST CONSTRUCTION.pdf ORIGINAL FILE NOTIFICATION Commissioner Grant requested additional information on the exact work involved in doing the subject improvement. Assistant City Manager/Finance Director Kennie Hobbs explained the building being improved was located on site of the City’s golf course off NW 19th Street, just east of NW 46th Avenue. It was currently an old, dilapidated building, and the plan was to redo the entire building for additional storage space for City equipment, and an office space for maintenance staff. Vice Mayor Bates observed the present structure was made mostly of metal, asking if this would be changed to a brick or remain metal. Mr. Hobbs responded the building would be of a similar style that would be newly constructed, along with the wall going along NW 19th Street. The building would comply with the current hurricane code requirements, etc. Commissioner Berger wished to know how the construction would be funded. Mr. Hobbs replied with GO Bond dollars. Commissioner Campbell asked if the selection of the contractor went through the normal bidding process. City of Lauderhill Page 8 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final March 25, 2019 Mr. Hobbs answered yes, stating the City went out to bid on the project through the normal solicitation process, and the contractor chosen was the most responsive and responsible bidder, West Construction. The City worked successfully with them previously, and they were completing the walls installed along Inverrary Boulevard and by Fire Station 110. Commissioner Campbell wanted to know how many other City projects West Construction was currently working on. Mr. Hobbs stated the only other project he was aware of was they were currently working on the completion of the wall project along Inverrary Boulevard. Commissioner Campbell restated his request for information on whether contractors working on City projects hired local workers and subcontractors. The City generously allowed companies to work for the City, yet there appeared to be little commitment to hiring local businesses and residents to work on City projects. Mr. Hobbs explained, as part of the City’s bid documents that were incorporated in the City’s ordinance, additional points were awarded for local preference. Thus, if local vendors were hired by the contractor, the latter received additional points during the bidding process. He said local preference was highlighted by staff in bids and requests issued, and a topic of discussion at bid meetings with potential vendors, etc. Commissioner Campbell felt there seemed nothing in place for City staff to track if contractors were living up to the City’s local preference expectations. City Attorney Hall thought the way such activity was tracked was the contractor had to provide the City with a list of subcontractors; City staff then looked over the list to see who the subcontractors would be. As Mr. Hobbs stated, the City’s procurement document had a line item clearly stating additional points were awarded for contractors with local participation. Commissioner Campbell wished to know when he could get the information verifying contractors were living up to their local preference promises. City Manager Faranda commented the only time there was a record of actual local hires by contractors was if the points were applied and included as a part of City staff’s and the applicant’s presentations when the Commission voted on awarding the contract. Commissioner Campbell asked if the information could be provided in the future. City Manager Faranda responded if Commissioner Campbell wished to know if there were contractors/bidders that were not selected, but who were awarded points for local participation, that information could be gathered by staff and forwarded to him. Commissioner Campbell thought it should be easy to get the information he requested, acknowledging the information might not be available for companies working with the City for the first time. However, if the City awarded a contract to a company that worked for the City previously, there should be information showing they hired/subcontracted with individuals or local firms; without it, he would find it difficult to vote for any company in the future. He said any information staff could supply that gave him an understanding of a company’s record for hiring locally would be helpful. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Bates, seconded by Commissioner Grant, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following vote: City of Lauderhill Page 9 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final March 25, 2019 Yes: 5- Commissioner Berger, Commissioner Campbell, Commissioner Grant, Vice Mayor Bates, and Mayor Thurston Abstain: 0 18.

Commissioner Campbell understood the persons involved would be in attendance. City Planner Stephen Tawes reviewed the subject resolution, as detailed in the backup, City of Lauderhill Page 12 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final March 25, 2019 explaining that the special exception was for a doctor’s office, and the special exception was necessary, as they had a Schedule II drug license. He explained whenever an applicant sought this type of license, the application was automatically required to go before the City Commission for a special exception. Vice Mayor Bates sought clarification on what Schedule II meant. Mr. Tawes said Schedule II drugs were opiate-type drugs, controlled, dangerous drugs. City Attorney Hall provided some background on the City’s requirement of a special exception approval, stating this was a direct result of the pill mill clinic epidemic South Florida was experiencing. Lauderhill went in the subject direction to ensure when a physician came before the Commission, they were a legitimate doctor licensed to prescribe such medicines. Commissioner Campbell asked if the building was located in an office space. Dr. Rigaud affirmed it was an office space from which he would provide healthcare and psychiatric services. He was a psychiatrist and a general practitioner licensed to practice in the State of Florida; he held his DEA license for over 30 years, and he never had a restriction placed on his license, or any other intent to abuse or use controlled substances. He remarked that his controlled substances were limited to psychiatry, and did not include opiates, but the benzodiazepine class of medications. He stressed he was not a subscriber of opiates. He worked for the Veterans of America (VA) for the past 12 years, and the only patients to whom he might prescribe an opiate would be in a hospital, and the prescription would be for the continuation of their care. Commissioner Campbell desired to know the size of the office space. Dr. Rigaud said the office space consisted of one suite with two spaces. Commissioner Campbell questioned if the suite was within the normal space required for the treatment he would administer. Dr. Rigaud answered yes. Commissioner Campbell asked if the applicant understood the concerns of the Commission about the subject use, as the City was not eager to be in the news. Dr. Rigaud indicated he understood Commissioner Campbell perfectly. Commissioner Campbell wished to confirm City staff examined all the documentation, asking the applicant about previous locations. Dr. Rigaud stated he was located at the VA hospital in West Palm Beach for six years, and he was currently working in Pompano Beach at a private clinic. He did not have any patients under his name in need of an opiate prescription. Vice Mayor Bates inquired as to the reason the applicant wished to locate his office in Lauderhill, knowing the type of restrictions the City had on pain clinics. Dr. Rigaud replied Lauderhill provided him with the space and conveniences of the building, as he searched numerous cities, including Pompano Beach, Coconut Creek, and the Lauderhill building offered him the better solution for the price and location. City of Lauderhill Page 13 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final March 25, 2019 Vice Mayor Bates asked how long the applicant worked in Pompano Beach. Dr. Rigaud replied at least three years. Vice Mayor Bates wished to know if they would be dispensing prescription drugs from the clinic. Dr. Rigaud answered no. Patients were prescribed controlled substance under his specialty in the form of medications, but he would not be dispensing any medicines, just writing the prescription. Commissioner Campbell wished to know if the subject item were approved by the Commission, was there a provision as to how long-term would it be, in case the City in the near future decided it was not appropriate. Mr. Tawes explained there was time limitation to the applicant’s special exception, however there were conditions of approval that could limit the use if there were issues that arose. City Attorney Hall added, if there was a violation of the special exception conditions, the applicant could return before the Commission for a hearing and determination on whether to allow the special exception to stand or be revoked. Mr. Hobbs explained special exceptions were part of the City’s annual certificate of use approval process, so City staff actually went out and verified all the conditions were being satisfied by existing businesses. Commissioner Grant asked Dr. Rigaud if he would be providing both psychiatric and general practitioner (GP) services at the proposed office. Dr. Rigaud answered yes, noting the office space was at least 1,400 square feet. Commissioner Grant wished to know why Dr. Rigaud was leaving Pompano Beach. Dr. Rigaud clarified he was not leaving Pompano Beach, where he worked for a private clinic, and he desired to open his own clinic. Commissioner Campbell hoped Dr. Rigaud did not get the impression the City Commission was not welcoming his business to Lauderhill, as they were, despite some concerns that needed to be addressed. Mr. Hobbs added the subject office space was 1,700 square feet. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Bates, seconded by Commissioner Berger, 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 XIII QUASI-JUDICIAL MATTERS, FIRST READING XIV QUASI-JUDICIAL MATTERS, SECOND READING City of Lauderhill Page 14 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final March 25, 2019 XV UNFINISHED BUSINESS XVI OLD BUSINESS XVII NEW BUSINESS XVIII COMMUNICATIONS FROM PUBLIC OFFICIALS AT 9:00 PM, OR IMMEDIATELY BEFORE ADJOURNMENT, WHICHEVER SHALL FIRST OCCUR. IF AN ITEM OF LEGISLATION IS BEING DISCUSSED AT 9:00 PM, THE CHAIR MAY DELAY THESE COMMUNICATIONS UNTIL AFTER THE ITEM OF LEGISLATION HAS BEEN RESOLVED. Commissioner Campbell mentioned being chastised for not promoting the Caribbean-American Soccer Association (CASA), since he began serving as a City Commissioner, noting the program existed for the last 15 years. They played at the Lauderhill Sports Complex every Wednesday and Saturday; it was a community affair, one everyone should make an effort to attend to both see the games and enjoy the atmosphere. He said, with regard to cricket, there were some technical issues with the lights at the facility, and he wished to assure the public and former Mayor, Richard Kaplan, in attendance at the Commission meeting, that cricket was still alive in Lauderhill. They would restart the game in April, and it would complement the other uses at the Sports Park. He said netball was unable to return for the season, as they were working on the court. Vice Mayor Bates thanked Mr. Kaplan for attending the meeting; she sent her regards to his wife, and encouraged him to enjoy his retirement and to play golf more often. She asked Mr. Faranda for additional information on the Stage Door Productions at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center (LPAC), as she learned that Stage Door was, supposedly, filing for bankruptcy, and they were canceling all future shows, etc. City Manager Faranda remarked on not being sure what was happening with Stage Door Productions, but they did inform the City they would not be continuing the shows at the LPAC. City staff was working diligently to come up with alternatives, and they might have a proposal for the City Commission soon on what they thought would be an exciting replacement. He heard similar information mentioned by Vice Mayor Bates, but he could not verify any of it.
