A - Survey-NW 46th AVE LAUDERHILL.PDF ForwardSubdivisionNo1Plat.pdf Vacation Petition Application.pdf Vacation Petition Procedures Vacation Petition Submittal Checklist Commissioner Campbell sought clarification on what would be done. City Manager Faranda reminded the Commission there was an access road located between the two subject properties, and it was creating problems for the neighborhood. The City vacated the road and he assumed the road would be equally divided between each property owner, and the City would continue to have an access easement when City staff needed to do work at the canal. The road would be closed and the area fenced, the goal being to remove the inconveniences City of Lauderhill Page 5 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final August 26, 2019 and nuisances taking place in the neighborhood due to the location of the dead-end road between the two properties. Commissioner Campbell wished to know what would happen to the paved area. City Manager Faranda indicated the property owners were at liberty to do as they felt with their portion of the road, including installing a gate, fencing, landscaping, etc. City Attorney Hall explained it would be a multistep process requiring County approval, so when the City completed its process, City staff would work with County staff, and once the City vacated the property, it would be conveyed to the property owners. The City would retain the right to an easement access to maintain utilities, the canal, etc. However, the property, for all intents and purposes would be equally controlled by the two identified property owners. Commissioner Campbell questioned if the City was responsible for servicing the canal, or was that the responsibility of the City of Lauderdale Lakes. City Manager Faranda believed the canal belonged to Lauderdale Lakes, but the bank was on Lauderhill’s side, and the City’s system had some discharge into the canal, so a minimal amount of maintenance was done by City staff. Commissioner Campbell sought clarification as to how the City could have an easement if the roadway was conveyed. City Attorney Hall indicated the City had an easement on every property in Lauderhill for the most part, including private residential property; all swales were owned by the City, which was a right of way easement, including properties along any body of water. Service providers such as AT&T, Comcast, etc. could go onto private property to install lines, cables, etc. He said those easements facilitated and enabled the installation and maintenance of utilities going into homes; having an easement simply meant the City and service providers could access private property to install/maintain the equipment necessary to provide services. Vice Mayor Bates asked who would be the actual owners of the vacated road. City Attorney Hall replied the road would be equally divided between the two adjacent property owners. Vice Mayor Bates wondered if the property owners would pay additional taxes on the portion of the road conveyed to them by the City. City Attorney Hall responded the portion of the road given to each property owner would be taxable, and as they would own it, the owners could use the fact that they now owned a larger parcel to secure a loan. Vice Mayor Bates recalled one of the residents stating people were using the road for overflow parking. City Attorney Hall indicated the purpose of the City vacating the road and handing it City of Lauderhill Page 6 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final August 26, 2019 over to the two property owners was to prohibit this happening further, as making the road private property would allow the owners to fence off the area. They both wanted the property deeded to them, and once their property was reassessed by the Property Appraiser’s Office, it was likely that their taxes would go up, as they would now have value added to their property. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Bates, seconded by Commissioner Campbell, that this Ordinance be approved on first reading to the City Commission Meeting, due back on 9/12/2019. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 5- Commissioner Berger, Commissioner Campbell, Commissioner Grant, Vice Mayor Bates, and Mayor Thurston Abstain: 0 XI ORDINANCES & PUBLIC HEARINGS - SECOND READING (NOT ON CONSENT AGENDA) (AS ADVERTISED IN THE SUN-SENTINEL) 11.

Attachments: RES-RECONSIDERATION-19R-08-161-Oppose Racism-MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION.pdf AR RECONSIDERATION-19R-08-161 RES 19R-08-161 Oppose President Trump Comments Commissioner Campbell stated the subject resolution was consistent with past City resolutions, as well as those of many other cities, counties and states throughout the United States. The resolution was particularly important for Lauderhill, as it was a city populated with many immigrant and minority populations. He believed the lives of such populations in the City were directly impacted by the consistency of such language made against folks who did not look like the President, and this was something about which no one should continue to be silent, as silence gave the appearance of condoning such language. Such behavior had been witnessed over a long period of time; for example, as in the long ago case of the young men wrongly convicted in New York with the verdict subsequently reversed. He remarked President Trump constantly questioned whether President Obama was born in the United States, as well as stating President Obama should provide transcripts to substantiate his education credentials. When President Trump frequently made comments against Mexicans, many who were not Mexican allowed them to pass, but he made similarly disparaging comments about people of countries populated by dark-skinned persons. Regarding the four congresswomen, three of them were born in the United States, and one came to the U.S. at a very early age, so they were all Americans. Commissioner Campbell noted, oftentimes, people did not react to situations unless it directly affected them, but that, practice City of Lauderhill Page 13 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final August 26, 2019 should stop. One of the congresswomen in question was an African American born in the U.S. with no affiliation to any African country, and remarks by the President were damaging to people of color. He hoped the subject resolution would be one of many that clearly communicated to the President of the United States that though he was respected as President of the United States, such racist remarks would not be tolerated from the White House. He urged everyone to join him in continuing to condemn statements made by any bigot who spewed such hateful and hurtful comments. He was a proud, dark-skinned person born in another country, who later became an American citizen, so when such language was used by the President, it affected him deeply. Commissioner Berger commented resolutions such as that being proposed came before the Commission for approval, and at those times he thought they were wrong and he voted against them. He thought since the issue of Russian collusion was pretty much dead, and with efforts to impeach the President fizzling out, the President’s detractors were now playing the race card as, regrettably, a last resort, and going into the 2020 election, this was being done very aggressively. The economy was in very good shape, so that could not be used against the President, and the situation was similar regarding unemployment, which was down, especially in minority communities. He said using the race card was not a new political strategy, alleging many presidential candidates and people in the media said the United States was a mean, oppressive, and racist country with policies built on racism, including the criminal justice system, law enforcement, and police departments. Commissioner Berger claimed in the past week, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez said the Electoral College was a racist scam, recalling in the 2018 Florida Governor’s election, people tried to pin an ugly label on Governor DeSantis by contorting his words to give them a false and malicious meaning. He acknowledged bigots and racism did exist, but it was unfortunate that there was widespread weaponizing of such language for political purposes, making it difficult to identify and confront true racists and hate peddlers. The term racist, regrettably, became devalued, and efforts to combat real racism might not be taken seriously when the right situations warranted it. The congresswomen named in the proposed resolution were a part of a recently planned congressional trip to Israel to welcome and introduce 41 Democrat and Republican members of Congress. However, three of the four congresswomen, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez refused to go, with Ms. Tlaib and Ms. Omar preferring to go to Israel on their own, which he claimed was for the purpose of strengthening the boycott of Israel, and to show solidarity with Palestinians. Commissioner Berger remarked these congresswomen supported the Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS) Movement, reminding the Commission that in May 2019, they unanimously approved a resolution he sponsored to indicate the City’s opposition to the BDS Movement against Israel, as it promoted anti-Semitism and the elimination of the Jewish state. He noted the resolution additionally stated the City would do no business with any company that supported the BDS Movement. It was alleged that the two congresswomen’s trip to Israel was being sponsored and planned by Miftah; an anti-Semitic group that celebrated terrorism and praised female suicide bombing as a sacrifice for their cause. He claimed their travel itinerary listed their destination as Palestine, not as Israel, and Congresswoman Tlaib routinely referred to the “occupation of Palestine.” It was alleged that their itinerary showed no plans to meet with any Israeli government officials, just left-wing, anti-Israel groups, and one of the leaders of the PLO. Israel made the decision not to permit them into the City of Lauderhill Page 14 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final August 26, 2019 country, as they prohibited the entry of persons who supported boycotts and terrorism in Israel, a similar practice of other countries denying entrance to persons identified as wishing to do harm, like the United States. President Trump spoke in favor of denying them entry to Israel, concurring with the Israeli Prime Minister’s decision, as freedom of speech did not stop at the doors of the White House. When Congresswoman Tlaib claimed she wanted to visit family in the West Bank, Israel agreed to let her enter on humanitarian grounds, but said she would not be allowed to propagandize her beliefs. He said Congresswoman Tlaib then changed her mind about going to Israel, and he believed this was due to her foremost reason for going to Israel being to promote radical ideas. He said, several years ago, Congresswoman Tlaib wrote an article for Louis Farrakhan’s newspaper, and at a Trump rally in 2016, she became so disruptive she had to be forcibly removed. After getting elected and taking the oath of office on the English version of the Koran, she publicly stated her support for the impeachment of President Trump. He said the subject resolution sought to condemn President Trump, for his insensitivity towards four named congresswomen, yet Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib sponsored resolutions in the House that supported the boycott of Israel. In July, Tlaib made a speech on the floor of the House, opposing an anti-BDS resolution that eventually passed 398 to 17; she compared boycotts of Israel to boycotts against Nazi Germany. Commissioner Berger remarked these congresswomen were the first Muslim women elected to Congress, and they could have been instrumental in normalizing relations between Palestine and Israel, yet they appeared to be walking in lock step with radical Islam. He said Congresswoman Omar suggested several times that lawmakers who supported America’s alliance with Israel had dual loyalties, and she tweeted that U.S. politicians’ support of Israel was motivated by money. The Israeli Prime Minister responded to her comments that U.S. support of Israel had nothing to do with money, it was about shared values. He stated Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez said the U.S. government was running concentration camps on the country’s southern borders, which was offensive to Holocaust survivors. President Trump called out these congresswomen for their radicalism, for being self-described radical, democratic socialists, and for their hate of Israel and anti-Semitism, which he had a right to do, and he was glad the President did. The subject resolution stated President Trump’s comments were racist, dangerous, dehumanizing and unbecoming of the office of President, but the comments of the four abovementioned congresswomen were dangerous, bigoted and unbecoming of members of Congress. He felt approving the proposed resolution, essentially, defended and condoned the hate-filled and bigoted views of these congresswomen, and he thought the City was better than that. Commissioner Campbell remarked that if Commissioner Berger was being allowed to give a lengthy commentary to the matter of discussion, understanding that this was a controversial issue, he should be permitted time to rebut. He expressed hurt and disappointment that out of the four congresswomen, one was being painted as a Muslim; this was what was sad about racism and hatred. The African American congresswoman has nothing to do with Israel and was not Muslim, and to justify an attack on these congresswomen based on what was allegedly the fault of one congresswoman was really sad. For years, Bernie Sanders publicly proclaimed himself to be a democratic socialist, yet he was never told to leave the United States. The Communist Party of the United States was made up of white, Anglo men, but they had never been told to leave the United States because of their City of Lauderhill Page 15 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final August 26, 2019 political affiliation. President Jimmy Carter previously stated the system in Israel was like Apartheid, and such controversial statements were permitted, despite many disagreeing with him. The difference was that he was white, and he too was never told to leave the United States for expressing such sentiments. Commissioner Campbell remarked the situation was not about the ideological positions of these congresswomen, as there were many white nationalists in the United States who did not go after Jews in Israel, but they attacked them in the United States, yet no one told the white nationalists to leave the United States. Again, it came down to race, so it was a sad, sad day, not just for the statements made by the President, but for those who lived among immigrants and did not find such statements offensive. Commissioner Grant sought clarification that the primary focus of the resolution was to oppose and condemn insensitive and racist comments made by President Trump Commissioner Campbell affirmed it was. Commissioner Grant desired to know, other than President Trump telling the four congresswomen to go back to where they came from, what other insensitive and racist comments President Trump made. Commissioner Campbell explained, historically, such language was used as a racist tool in the United States against people of color and, therefore, it was not a new concept. He found it surprising that Commissioner Berger recognized racism when it was against Jewish people, noting he supported Commissioner Berger’s previous resolution because it was against racism, but it was important to stop thinking racism against some people was fine, but unacceptable against others. Historically, when certain statements were made, they were easily recognized as racist, and they should not be condoned, regardless of whether the target was someone Jewish, brown skinned, Mexican, etc. When racism lifted its head, it should be denounced, regardless of who it was directed at. Commissioner Grant repeated her request for Commissioner Campbell to specify other offensive comments. Mayor Thurston wished to open the discussion to the public, asking for a motion on the proposed resolution. Vice Mayor Bates made a motion to approve the resolution. Mayor Thurston seconded the motion, allowing Commissioner Berger to make a few more brief comments. Commissioner Berger stated it was acceptable to disagree with President Trump’s politics, but it was unacceptable to contort the things the President said. Though Commissioner Campbell claimed the President told the four congresswomen to go back to where they came from, he did not say they should stay there. Rather, the resolution showed he said they should go back, fix the broken and crime infested places from whence they came, so he was not speaking about crime infested places in the context of them being a bad thing. He said, as an extension to that, City of Lauderhill Page 16 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final August 26, 2019 the people who lived in those areas deserved better, so they should go back and fix the problems where they came from, and this showed that the President had both compassion and empathy, as it indicated he thought people deserved better a better living. Commissioner Campbell observed that if Commissioner Berger was being allowed to make certain points, he should be allowed to respond to him. Commissioner Grant felt it was important to address the matter further. Commissioner Campbell concurred. Mayor Thurston observed a motion and a second were made to approve the resolution, and he wished to open the discussion to the public. He opened the discussion to the public and received no input. He called for a vote on the item. Commissioner Grant indicated she would support a resolution that stated racism was wrong on any front. Commissioner Campbell said there was no amendment to the resolution. Vice Mayor Bates agreed this was not the resolution being voted on. Commissioner Berger questioned his reference to alleged anti- Semitic comments. City Attorney Hall, in response to a suggestion by an unidentified person that Commissioner Grant abstain, said abstaining was not an option in the subject instance. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Bates, seconded by Mayor Thurston, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 3- Commissioner Campbell, Vice Mayor Bates, and Mayor Thurston No: 2- Commissioner Berger, and Commissioner Grant Abstain: 0 29. RESOLUTION NO. 19R-08-162: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL APPOINTING VARIOUS MEMBERS OF THE LAUDERHILL COMMUNITY AND BUDGET ADVISORY BOARD BY THE CITY COMMISSION AS A WHOLE FOR A ONE (1) YEAR TERM EXPIRING JULY 2020; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE (REQUESTED BY THE CITY COMMISSION).

He wondered if the Commission should engage in a discussion on possibly redrawing the sections or reducing the number to four sections from eight. City Attorney Hall suggested tabling the item for discussion at a Commission workshop, leaving the Committee status quo for the time being. Commissioner Campbell questioned the portion of the resolution that determined the term of the Committee members. City Attorney Hall explained the subject resolution was to appoint new members for the next one-year term, but the map for the sections represented on the Committee needed to be amended, and so a discussion on the various aspects of the Committee could be discussed more in depth at the September Commission Workshop. Commissioner Campbell clarified the reason he pulled the item was due to the language regarding the one-year term of the Committee members that expired July 2020. He thought a new board needed time to take shape, and a one-year term limit with all board members’ terms expiring at the same time, rather than staggering them, was counterproductive. City Attorney Hall remarked the workshop discussion would include the possibility of increasing and staggering the terms, and any other possible modifications. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Bates, seconded by Commissioner Grant, that this Resolution be tabled to the City Commission Workshop, due back on 9/16/2019. The motion carried by the following vote: City of Lauderhill Page 18 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final August 26, 2019 Yes: 5- Commissioner Berger, Commissioner Campbell, Commissioner Grant, Vice Mayor Bates, and Mayor Thurston Abstain: 0 30.

City Manager Faranda answered no, the location was in the City of Sunrise, but the City’s cable ran from Sunrise to Fire Station 57; it was the City’s sole cable for fiber optics that fed the City’s networks, so it was Lauderhill’s responsibility to repair. This was the only possible route through Sunrise. Vice Mayor Bates asked if the City would be reimbursed. City Attorney Hall affirmed when a contractor damaged the City’s property, Deputy City Attorney Rosenberg and Human Resources Director Fennell and their staff vigilantly pursued the matter. Mayor Thurston opened the discussion to the public. Nadia Assad, Lauderhill resident, asked if the cable repairs were being done by AT&T. City Attorney Hall answered no, the repairs were being done by a private contractor.

XIV QUASI-JUDICIAL MATTERS, FIRST READING XV QUASI-JUDICIAL MATTERS, SECOND READING XVI UNFINISHED BUSINESS XVII OLD BUSINESS XVIII NEW BUSINESS X 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 reminded Lauderhill residents and his fellow Commissioners that the approval for the project in Tamarac, about which the City Commission approved a resolution stating the City’s opposition to allowing access on two City roadways initially passed three to two, and he hoped the community would be prepared to ensure Lauderhill did not bow to the dictates or pressure by the City of Tamarac. He personally saw their decision to approve the developer’s plan as an assault on the City of Lauderhill, as part of the project discussion was that the lifestyle of the Woodlands could not be disrupted with the overflow of traffic from the proposed development, yet they found it acceptable for Lauderhill’s roadways to become the dumping ground for traffic generated by the proposed Tamarac residential development. He would be taking on the subject issue personally and opposing it aggressively, as he thought it was an unfortunate and unfriendly move by the City of Tamarac. Though the development had a long way to go, he hoped City Manager Faranda and City Attorney Hall would advise the Commission on practical and legal ways to ensure the City did not cooperate with Tamarac. City Manager Faranda indicated his staff was in the process of sending sent out a letter with the resolution approved by the City Commission attached, stating the City opposed the use of its roadways by the subject developer, and the reasons for that opposition. Thus, the City of Tamarac officially had the City’s opposition on record. Vice Mayor Bates thanked City staff and others who worked with her on the City’s first career fair the previous Tuesday; over 800 people came out looking for jobs, which was a clear indication of the need for such events and for more jobs. For the 2020 Census, she had been appointed as chairperson of the city/counties group coordinating between the cities and counties to get out information on the Census 2020. In Lauderhill, they were putting together a complete count committee, and volunteers were being called to serve; the first organizational meeting would be held City of Lauderhill Page 26 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final August 26, 2019 on September 18, 2019, at City Hall. Representatives from the City’s numerous condominiums were being sought, as the Census was extremely critical for Lauderhill. She said the City lost a lot of money from the 2010 Census, because many residents did not complete the forms. She noted more information would be forthcoming, but if the condominiums could each send a representative, it would be deeply appreciated, so they could take the information back to the residents. The neighbors would be more open to speaking to a fellow resident than a stranger and more likely to fill out the short Census form that asked very basic information, such as: how many people resided in the home. Vice Mayor Bates stressed that if residents did not complete their Census form and mail it back, someone would be knocking on their door to get the information; the form could also be filled out and submitted online. As an example of the cost to the City, the failure to count one person who did not fill out the Census cost the City $1,500.00 per year for the next ten years; and if this were multiplied by 100 people not filling out the census, this gave a clear indication of how much money the City could lose. She went on to state that in October, the “Light Up Lauderhill” event would take place for Cancer Awareness Month, and City Hall would again be lit up in pink. Financial contributions were welcome, and the monies would be sent to a cancer foundation. The City’s Community Leaders Breakfast would take place in October, and for the upcoming event, the Florida Medical Center (FMC) wanted to be the City’s sponsor and partner, and this meant the event would take place at FMC rather than at City Hall. Commissioner Grant said she was glad to be back from the summer hiatus, stating the Lauderhill Behavioral Symposium would take place on October 27, 2019, 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Central Broward Regional Park. It would be a free family event, at which there would be discussions about behavioral issues ranging from the routine to the more complex medical issues. She noted experts and professionals would be on hand to address concerns, answer questions, along with behavioral health resources, wellness activities, supervised youth activities, mind/body workshops, community programs, music and food. Additional information would be given as the event neared. XIX ADJOURNMENT City of Lauderhill Page 27
