He wished to inform the Commission that the start date both parties would agree to would be June 1, 2020, rather than April 1, 2020. Mr. Hobbs was working to adjust the pension plan loans to get a better interest rate as, if he was successful, the savings would be passed onto the LHA. Commissioner Campbell questioned who would benefit from any adjustments made. City Attorney Hall reiterated the benefit would go to the LHA by lowering the amount they had to pay the City annually.

Deputy City Attorney Angel Rosenberg said the current persons serving requested the Commission allow them to retain their seats; they were as follows: seat one, Trecia Myrie-Reid; seat three, Claudette Depass; seat six, Sarai “Ray” Martin: seat seven, Cassandra Wright; seat eight, Samuel Wilkerson; and seat nine, Eula Murray-Hylton. Commissioner Grant asked if anyone of the ten applicants listed were present. Interim Deputy City Manager/Finance Director Kennie Hobbs saw two of the ten persons in the Chambers. Ms. Rosenberg explained the existing board members wished to be reappointed to their current seats in order to achieve a quorum consistently, and enable the CBAB to have discussions and vote on their decisions. Their discussions would include such issues as to whether current boundary maps should be redrawn, and the term limits for board members; there were currently eight areas. Commissioner Campbell sought confirmation the persons currently serving actually lived in the boundaries they served. Ms. Rosenberg affirmed this to be the case, but she understood for vacant seats two, four and five, Mr. Hobbs explained the boundary requirements would be waived for seats two and five, as they had been previously for seat four. This would allow residents willing to serve on the CBAB to represent the areas for seats two, four and five, despite them not living within the boundaries of those areas. Interim City Manager Giles-Smith commented, as no applicants from areas two, four and five were forthcoming, three other applicants would be selected to fill those City of Lauderhill Page 7 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final March 9, 2020 seats, regardless of their area of residence, so the CBAB could achieve a quorum. Commissioner Campbell said the initial intent was to have representation for all areas of the City, and he was concerned that, for example, someone from the north would represent the south, asking how a resident from one area could relate to the needs of residents in the unrepresented areas. Mr. Hobbs indicated he did not have a map of the areas with him, but the primary concern of the CBAB was the ability to achieve a quorum. The current persons serving on the board clearly stated whoever was selected to serve in seats two, four and five had to serve the areas those seats represented, not the area in which those board members resided. Thus, they needed to understand the wishes and concerns of the residents of those areas they represented, and the applicants agreed to this; this was not meant to be a permanent fix, rather it was to allow more time to find resident representatives in each of the three areas, while allowing the Board to achieve a quorum in the interim. He noted some of the applicants on the list of ten already attended CBAB meetings regularly as members of the public, but they were unable to vote, as they were not board members. The other issues mentioned by Ms. Rosenberg would be placed on the next Commission workshop agenda for further discussion. Commissioner Campbell commented on having no objection to filling the vacant seats on the CBAB, but he had reservations as to someone serving on the board in a symbolic capacity rather than in one truly representative of the residents of the area. He recalled proposing in the past the consolidation of two zones into one, because of their location, and nominated someone who would fall into the consolidated area, as they lived a street short of one of the unrepresented areas, so he was not initially accepted because of the location of his physical address. City Attorney Hall reiterated the subject appointments were only through July 2020, and additional discussion on the CBAB would take place at the next Commission workshop, where the issues to be discussed included staggering terms, rather than having all board members’ terms expire at the same time. Commissioner Bates questioned if, after persons were appointed to seats two, four and five who did not live in those areas, a resident from those areas came forward and wished to serve on the CBAB, would the existing member be replaced. Mr. Hobbs responded this had been done in the past with other City boards. He noted existing board members and staff attended a variety of homeowners’ association (HOA) meetings over the past two years, and persons came forward, saying they were willing to serve, only never to turn up again or submit an application. They continued to push to get residents in the areas of the vacant seats to apply and serve without success, and the City was approaching its budget process, so this was a crucial time for the CBAB to get community input to present to the City Commission and staff. If the Board could not achieve a quorum to conduct a formal meeting, they would have nothing to present to the Commission, and the first budget hearing would take place at City Hall in April 2020. Mr. Hobbs pointed out, as the budget would be presented to the Commission on July 1, 2020, by the time the CBAB members’ seats expired, their work on the FY 2021’s budget would be completed for the most part. City of Lauderhill Page 8 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final March 9, 2020 Ms. Rosenberg read all ten names on the list, noting two persons were present: Dwight Hinkson and Lawrence Martin. Commissioner Campbell made a motion to appointment of the two persons present to the fill two of the three vacant seats. There being no second, the motion failed. Vice Mayor Berger made a motion to appoint Lawrence Martin, Aryeh Shender and Naida Assad. There being no second, the motion failed. Commissioner Campbell reiterated the two persons present at the Commission meeting were clearly supported, so the Commission should appoint them, then select a third person from the remaining list of names. Vice Mayor Berger opened the discussion to the public and received no input.

Commissioner Campbell invited the public to night cricket that began the previous Saturday, adding that soccer and netball were already being played at the Lauderhill Sports Park. He conveyed to Ms. Giles-Smith that he was told the event that took place over the previous weekend at City Hall was a success, and the City staff who interacted with attendees were outstanding; the members of the public who spoke to him wanted to make sure City administration and the residents were made aware of this and should feel proud. He thanked all City staff for their hard work and help over the past weekend. Commissioner Bates reminded everyone of the 2020 Census’s approach in April, urging all residents of Lauderhill to participate by responding to their invitation coming in the mail and not to wait until April 1. The response would be by phone, so each household need only call and answer the questions asked. She said for each person responding to the census, the City would receive $1,600.00 per year for the next ten years, and the funds went to helping the City’s schools, Food Stamp Program, and a large number of community programs taking place all over the U.S. and, more specifically, in Lauderhill. Commissioner Grant remarked the Parks & Leisure Services (PALS) Department would present the Sports Advancing Kids Education (S.A.K.E.) Awards on Thursday, March 12, 2020, at 6:00 p.m. at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center (LPAC). This would be the 12th Annual S.A.K.E. Awards honoring and recognizing student athletes, coaches, teams and volunteers for their outstanding achievement in seven areas. She noted the vision was to build character, boost self-esteem, enhance life skills, impart positive values, and enhance education through athletic endeavors and competition. The City of Lauderhill provided a wide variety of programs, some at a low cost, and others for free just to ensure the City’s youths were on the right track, and it was important when children excelled that the community came out to support them, so they knew their community was behind them. Interim City Manager Giles-Smith mentioned if anyone had questions or concerns City of Lauderhill Page 10 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final March 9, 2020 regarding the Coronavirus in the City of Lauderhill, they could check the City’s website; the CDC had information online, along with the Florida Prevention website; the City’s website had links to the two latter sites. City staff would update the website as information was available; people preferring to phone should not hesitate to call the City. Vice Mayor Berger knew many residents had Comcast as their provider, and the company opened a new 2,800 square foot retail center at 5931 West Oakland Park Boulevard in the Inverrary Falls shopping plaza, Lauderhill. Customers could use the center to take care of all their Comcast needs. The 2day Project of South Florida, hosted by a Lauderhill resident and business owner would take place on April 18, 2020, at West Wind Park; the event was for children between the ages of 13 to 23. He said they would enjoy a variety of activities, motivation presentations, team building and vision projects, basketball, mind and body challenges, door games and grand prizes. March was Women’s History Month, and there were two major events; one was the Women of Distinction event at the BB&T Center on March 20, 2020, at 7:30 a.m., where they would honor nine women from the community. He encouraged people to purchase tickets and attend the event. On Wednesday, March 18, 2020, at the LPAC, the Annual Tribute to Women’s History Month event would honor 12 Lauderhill Women of Distinction for their accomplishments and contributions to the Lauderhill community. The 770 Moshiach Center, the synagogue located in the Bank of America plaza along Inverrary Boulevard, would hold a groundbreaking ceremony for their community center and school they would build on the empty lot to the front of the site that was once the Inverrary Bagel Restaurant. The event would take place on Sunday, April 5, 2020, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., and everyone was welcomed to attend. The Synagogue of Inverrary-Chabad on NW 44th Street would hold a Purim celebration on March 10, 2020, at 5:30 p.m. Commissioner Bates reminded everyone to go out and vote on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, or send in their absentee ballots.
