Vice Mayor Bates made a motion to Amend Resolution No. 19R-06-108, seconded City of Lauderhill Page 6 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final June 24, 2019 by Mayor Thurston. The vote was as follows: Vice Mayor Bates Yes Commissioner Berger Yes Commissioner Campbell Yes Commissioner Grant Yes Mayor Thurston Yes Commissioner Berger sought confirmation the subject resolution was to allow local municipalities to take such issues into their own hands; this was not a vote on the actual ban of single-use plastic bags and straws in the City of Lauderhill. City Attorney Hall answered correct. Commissioner Berger stated he was a strong supporter of home rule and the right of cities to choose what they wished to do on various issues. He believed, however, the ban on single-use plastic bags and straws was taking environmentalism a little too extreme, but it that would be discussed later if the matter came before the Commission. Mayor Thurston opened the discussion to the public. Willie Mae Cooper, 1541 NW 32nd Avenue, asked if the subject resolution would affect fast food businesses with regard to restricting their use of plastic straws. Mayor Thurston explained the purpose of the subject resolution was to urge the State Legislature to take action, so they too would pass a resolution to that end. Thus, the subject resolution would serve as an indicator to the State that the City desired the ability to regulate the use of single-use plastic bags and straws in Lauderhill. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Bates, seconded by Mayor Thurston, 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 9.

Assistant City Manager/Finance Director Kennie Hobbs answered yes to both. Commissioner Campbell questioned if it was a competitive bidding process. Mr. Hobbs affirmed it was, as an RFP was issued, and there were two respondents that were reviewed by a committee of City staff that ranked them, and those rankings were now before the Commission with staff’s recommendation for an award. Commissioner Campbell mentioned previous Commission discussions regarding his position on the contracts the City entered, and while the City had no control over private contracts, the City needed to move in the direction of using contractors that hired minorities and local businesses and residents. He reminded and encouraged his fellow Commissioners and City staff that if no significant effort was made to ensure the City gave incentives to contractors to hire local businesses and minority businesses it was unlikely to take place. City Attorney Hall remarked the proposed awardee was both minority and local, and he believed the business owner lived in the same neighborhood as the City Manager. Mr. Hobbs assured Commissioner Campbell that City staff took further action, since the recent Commission discussion, to incentivize contractors to hire local and minority businesses and residents. The City’s request for proposals (RFP), etc., included requesting information related to hiring local and minority general contractors, and urging the latter to hire the same as subcontractors; they included information that discussed the City’s ordinance and preferences in this regard. He indicated the information was now being gathered on the front end of the bidding process for use in the evaluation process, so subsequent contracts coming before the Commission would contain that information. Purchasing staff made sure they City of Lauderhill Page 8 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final June 24, 2019 clearly communicated that information to vendors bidding on City contracts, as well as distributing such information to local vendors via email and postings. Commissioner Campbell restated his hope his fellow Commissioners would join him in the effort to support this position, as it was a reality that many local businesses and residents were left out of City contracts. It was his hope that in future contracts coming before the Commission that such information was flagged to show the efforts City staff made to satisfy his desire to see the City increase its inclusion of local and minority businesses and residents. There could come a time when he would not vote for any contracts if they did not so indicate. Mr. Hobbs affirmed the City’s Economic Development staff was making a concerted effort in this regard, going door-to-door to local businesses, using the City’s business license list to contact all the businesses within Lauderhill to gain a better understanding of the types of services they provided, and this information was included in the information sheets when the City sent out upcoming contract information to local businesses. As to providing information to the Commission in the regard, the City Manager directed staff the previous week to include in their staff reports for the Commission information on the process they followed and whether local and/or minority vendors participated in the submission, and details on the ranking of bidding vendors. 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 11.

Attachments: RES-19R-06-121-Sole Source - THC Field Test Kits.pdf AR 19R-06-121 sole source ltr-Syndicate Alliance.pdf Syndicate Alliance Master Distributor Agreement .pdf City Attorney Hall explained in the last session, the Florida Legislature passed a bill legalizing hemp, a product of the cannabis plant, as of July 1, 2019. As a result, the City’s police department and like agencies throughout the State of Florida were challenged with having appropriate test kits to test substances when they made an arrest or stopped someone and smelled a substance that appeared similar to marijuana. He said the Commission would be seeing on their agenda items that would allow the purchase of the kits for such testing, and Assistant City Attorney Rosenberg attended numerous scientific meetings on the subject matter to gain a greater understanding of the situation. It was a significant challenge for law enforcement, the State Attorney’s Office, etc., and everyone was concerned about what would happen come July 1, 2019, when the law took effect. Assistant City Attorney Angel Petti-Rosenberg stated the real legal requirement was .3 percent, but the best test kit staff found for purchase was one from Switzerland that measured one percent of the THC content. Thus, users would be getting away with .7 percent, and the test measured the content to determine if the substance found was hemp versus cannabis, as the former would be legal and the latter was illegal. Broward County labs could not test for hemp, and the current test kits used by Lauderhill police were ineffective. She stressed the substances did not only refer to the actual plant, it included edibles, oils, etc. A motion was made by Commissioner Berger, seconded by Vice Mayor Bates, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following vote: City of Lauderhill Page 13 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final June 24, 2019 Yes: 5- Commissioner Berger, Commissioner Campbell, Commissioner Grant, Vice Mayor Bates, and Mayor Thurston Abstain: 0 19B.

XIII QUASI-JUDICIAL MATTERS, FIRST READING XIV QUASI-JUDICIAL MATTERS, SECOND READING 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 recently attending a seminar where the issue was raised about it being good for elected officials to have on their agenda a City of Lauderhill Page 16 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final June 24, 2019 segment that allowed them to speak on other matters not on the agenda. The State of Florida’s Sunshine Law prohibited elected officials or municipal board members from interacting outside of the public meeting forum, and after discussing items on the agenda, there was often little time to discuss other matters not on the agenda. He asked the City attorneys if it was possible to include an agenda item under which members of the Commission could have more detailed discussions, as he felt forced to be brief at the end of the meeting when he wished to speak on non-agenda matters. Commissioner Campbell referred to two issues that came up at the last meeting that the City Manager addressed; one concerned a property at NW 47th Terrace and NW 27th Street, across from Castle Hill Elementary School. While the City Manager addressed the issue, he felt the Commission was unable to comment further on such matters, though he knew the history of the subject situation. He felt designating a section on the agenda to enable such discussions would be of great value to the community, asking for an update on the site. Mr. Hobbs indicted after the last Commission meeting, the City Manager directed staff to work with them to convey the property; there was a new owner on the south side, so the City was working with both owners to convey the property. Commissioner Campbell next referred to the issue on NW 22nd Street and NW 49th Avenue regarding the gas company. Mr. Hobbs stated the situation was the same, whereby, the City was working with the gas company on the conveyance of a portion of the entrance lane to the City, as well as the design of the northern side that abutted the canal for consistent design for the gas company and the City’s water plant. The City could work to mitigate the visual from the homes on the north side of the canal, and City staff was working with those homeowners to keep them aware that the City was working with the gas company. Commissioner Campbell emphasized the importance of communicating with the residents, as this was the reason some homeowners were angry about issues they felt were not being addressed by the City. These examples indicated a need for an item on the agenda under which such issues could be discussed. City Attorney Hall explained there was only so far the City could go without putting an item on the agenda for discussion, as the whole reason for the Sunshine Law was so the public would know ahead of City meetings what would be discussed. He would meet with Mr. Faranda and Ms. Giles-Smith to discuss how to facilitate the dialog Commissioner Campbell desired within the parameters allowed by the Sunshine Law. Residents might wish to attend a Commission meeting to discuss a matter they saw coming up on the agenda, and not specifically identifying it would prevent this. Commissioner Campbell announced that the Caribbean Americas Soccer Association (CASA) would hold their finals on June 29, 2019, for netball and cricket, and the public was welcome to attend. Vice Mayor Bates wished everyone a happy, safe Fourth of July, noting her birthday was on July 6, so she wished herself a Happy Birthday. City of Lauderhill Page 17 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final June 24, 2019 Commissioner Berger echoed wishes for a happy Fourth of July, reminding residents the next Commission meeting on July 8, 2019, would be the last regular Commission meeting before the summer break. However, on Tuesday, July 9, 2019, the City Commission would hold a budget workshop at which the City Commission and staff would review and discuss the upcoming Fiscal Year 2019/2020 Budget from the City Manager’s Office. He said the workshop was open to the public, and members of the public should attend if they wished to give input. It was now hurricane season, and he urged everyone to take the necessary precautions in anticipation of a possible event. Commissioner Grant wished everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July holiday. She informed homeowners the City had paint available for home exteriors, and there was an application process that was detailed on the City’s website. On the past Saturday, there was an art exhibition at City Hall in celebration of Caribbean American Heritage Month; the event was well received by attendees, and City staff was commended for their hard work in making the event a great success. She thanked Mayor Thurston and Commissioner Berger for their support at the event, along with Lauderdale Lakes Mayor Rogers, adding that many members of the public voiced a wish to have the event again in 2020, so they were looking at doing an annual event at which local artists would be showcased. On June 29, 2019, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., there would be a concert at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center (LPAC) featuring Jamaican music artists Marcia Griffiths and Freddie McGregor; the public were all invited to an evening of positive music and great fun. Mayor Thurston thanked everyone who attended the first phase of the grant writing seminars the previous week; there were about 60 attendees, and the second free seminar would take place on July 17, 2019, at 6:00 p.m. He wished Vice Mayor Bates a happy birthday when it came, and he wished everyone a happy Independence Day.
