Fire Chief Marc Celetti responded the fire assessment was tied to services provided by the Lauderhill Fire Department and was distinct from the emergency medical services (EMS) fees; there were three divisions within the department: firefighting, fleet maintenance, and the Fire Inspection Bureau, all of which were covered under the fire fee, and consisted of a residential and a commercial fee. EMS fees were separate and went through the City’s General Fund. Deputy City Manager/Finance Director Kennie Hobbs affirmed the fire fee was based on a study that was done and broken down into various categories; based on the type of use, whether residential, commercial, industrial, etc., that determined how the fee was calculated. For all residential uses, there was a set amount, and for all other types of uses, it was based on square footage. Regarding the EMS fee charged, that went through the General Fund to cover all the costs associated with EMS transport, including personnel costs, the physical fire stations, etc. He said the fees charged for fire and EMS were done only at a rate to just cover those costs and did not yield a profit. A motion was made by Vice Mayor D. Grant, seconded by Commissioner M. Dunn, that this Ordinance be approved on second reading. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 5- Commissioner M.

ORDINANCE NO. 21O-09-135: AN ORDINANCE MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR COMMENCING OCTOBER 1, 2021 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2022, BASED ON THE BUDGET ESTIMATE OF EXPENDITURES AND REVENUES THAT EQUAL $191,198,393.00; ADOPTING THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2022; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Attachments: ORD-21R-09-135-CC Budget Final Ordinance FY 2022 FINAL.pdf AR 21O-09-135 Budget City Final Recon FY 2022.pdf Vice Mayor Grant mentioned the fiscal year (FY) 2022 budget showed an increase in the discretionary funds for the City Commission, asking staff to explain why. Mr. Hobbs affirmed there were some changes. Two years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City Commission had a discretionary account, and those funds totaled about $8,000.00. In 2020, due to the effects of the pandemic, no discretionary funds were budgeted, but as the City moved through its budget year, some discretionary funds were provided via the federal government’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). He said an additional $20,000.00 was provided to each Commissioner to facilitate and/or enable community-type programs. Thus, year-to-year, going from zero to the number staff was now proposing in the upcoming budget, the amount was not actually zero; the number today was actually $20,000.00. He said, moving forward to FY 2022, there was a proposal of $25,000.00 in discretionary funds for each member of the Commission, along with an additional $5,000.00 that could be used for providing “crowd pleasers” at each event sponsored by a Commissioner, giving each a total of $30,000.00 in discretionary spending for FY 2022. It was important to understand, even though the funds were labeled “discretionary funds”, and their spending was at the discretion of the particular commissioner, the use always had to be for the benefit of Lauderhill’s residents and businesses. Vice Mayor Grant believed there was separate funding in the FY 2022 budget for Commission events. Mr. Hobbs affirmed this to be the case; the funds were allocated differently than they were in the past; previously, the funds were captured in the budget under citywide accounts for citywide events. For the FY 2022 budget, there was a request for funding for a number of events, ultimately, resulting in event funds being budgeted to each member of the Commission for them to cover the hard costs associated those events, such as salaries. Vice Mayor Grant observed there was an additional line item in the FY 2022 budget City of Lauderhill Page 12 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final September 27, 2021 for Commission travel, bringing the total for each commissioner, between the discretionary funds and travel allotment, to about $38,000.00. Mr. Hobbs answered correct; the travel budget for each member of the Commission in the FY 2022 budget was $8,000.00. Vice Mayor Grant stated she had served on the Commission for three years, and she knew it was not possible to count 2020 due to the COVID 19 pandemic, when the City could do very little. However, in prior years, the Commission was able to manage with the $4,000.00 in discretionary funds, and $10,000.00 for travel. Mr. Hobbs concurred with the amounts budgeted prior to 2020. Vice Mayor Grant preferred to go back to the previously budgeted amounts for the Commission’s discretionary and travel funds for FY 2022 to be more balanced, as it related to the upcoming budget. She thought the Commission could manage with less money. Commissioner S. Martin knew balancing the budget was a huge undertaking, doing the best staff could for the five members of the Commission, so he appreciated all the work they put in. Regarding the increase in the Commission’s discretionary and travel funds, as he mentioned in previous meetings, he disagreed with how the funds were budgeted to the Commission, as it could be misleading; rather, he thought the funds should remain budgeted in the citywide events line items, so the expenditures could be monitored in that manner, and funds could be pulled as needed for the City events at each Commissioner’s request. He believed placing those items under each member of the Commission gave a false perception that each had additional funds, despite each one being very busy with numerous events and initiatives, much more than there were in the past. He recalled at the budget workshop, staff indicated there were 148 city events planned for the year, and it was a challenge for staff to balance the Commission’s budget. Commissioner L. Martin remarked the reason for the status of the subject matter was due to members of the Commission shifting from sponsoring 46 to 48 events to close to 150, a number that was likely to increase in FY 2022. A decision was made to move to the practice of each member of the Commission being responsible for certain events, along with using discretionary funds to facilitate their coming to fore. He felt if the funds were left in citywide events budget line items, and one commissioner sponsored twice as much events as another, thereby being assigned twice as much money to cover associated costs, it could put the City in an awkward position trying to decide whose events were pursued or put on the backburner. For transparency, the City captured several events it would host and fund, some of the larger events, for which the Commission would be recognized as a group. He noted, presently, there were numerous City events to which an individual member of the Commission was specifically attached and identified as such; and from the standpoint of trying to regulate the funds and how they were spent equitably, the way the discretionary funds were being budgeted removed the need for City staff to decide which events should be given priority, and it was not possible for the City to fund everyone’s events. He believed the numbers shown as part of the budget review was the City moved up to $1.4 million in events from the previous fiscal year’s $400,000.00. Thus, though the current Commission was City of Lauderhill Page 13 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final September 27, 2021 doing a lot of good work, most people would agree it cost money to do these things, and a big part of all the work members of the Commission were doing was not being tracked from the personnel of utilizing City employees for much of the work at the events. He mentioned, hypothetically, it used to be 150 employees covering 60 events a year and a half ago, and the same number of employees, going up or down a few, were now covering close to 160 events; something had to give at some point. To rein in the situation, putting the responsibility of the events back into the laps of each member of the Commission, assigning each of them $60,000.00 for programming, which still did not raise the amount to the $1.4 million the Commission was targeted to spend, as they were asked to work on downsizing their events to lower the number. He asked staff to update him as to the final figure after the Commission sent in reductions to lower the $1.4 million. City Manager Giles-Smith replied the figure was initially 221, and that figure was now down to the 70s or the 60s. Commissioner L. Martin believed the members of the Commission did their part to reduce those numbers considerably, and this was a new era, and City administration was trying to meet the Commission halfway, and if a commissioner’s events went over the amount budgeted, he/she would have to find private sponsors to fund the overage. He felt the current budgeting was fair and equitable, as no member of the Commission had to utilize all the discretionary or travel funds they were allotted; he knew his fellow Commissioners donated dollars to various organizations and group as they saw fit if they had remaining discretionary funds, making sure they went to help the community. With the energy of the Lauderhill City Commission, there would be numerous ways to find any additional funding each might need for their events as the fiscal year progressed, and as all the Commission events were finalized, the City Manager would publish the list to the community, so all Lauderhill’s residents and businesses would be aware of what was coming up for the next fiscal year, and they could decide which events they were interested in and set their calendars accordingly. Commissioner Dunn wished to clarify when the public heard each member of the Commission was allotted $60,000.00 for events, those monies were to pay for hard costs, which included staff time. For example, in her Lauderhill Shines program, all City departments had a hand in the program; amazing, branded items were designed by the City’s communication staff, and the Economic Development Department allocated staff to be a business concierge and resources for Lauderhill businesses; thus, staff time was included in that budget. Regarding the discretionary funds, she had a number of programs she felt moved the community forward, and with those dollars, she could allocate money to businesses in her program. She had the Lauderhill Health & Prosperity Partnership that had over 67 partners in the City, including residents, and she could allocate a portion of her funds directly to neighborhoods, via existing community programs that directly benefited Lauderhill residents, and she could accomplish this without having to repeatedly going back to staff for funds from the citywide budget line items. Commissioner S. Martin wished to highlight some of the things he believed justified his support of the proposed FY 2022 budget, such as: a home repair program for seniors, down payment assistance for homeownership, taxes were rolled back, discretionary spending for Commissioners to do more for community City of Lauderhill Page 14 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final September 27, 2021 programming. Mr. Hobbs commented the City currently had a home repair program monitored by the City Administration and the Grants Division, along with a down payment assistance program. The latter provided assistance to any resident considered a first-time homebuyer; that is, someone who had not owned a home in the past three years. The funds could be used to buy down a mortgage and, if needed, to cover any closing costs they might incur as part of the home purchase. He said the City had a number of programs that provided dollars for minor home repair. City Manager Giles-Smith explained both programs allowed $40,000.00 for purchase assistance, or for rehabilitation; applicants had to meet federal income guidelines, but the funds were there, and did extraordinary work in the Lauderhill community, helping seniors or people who had fallen on hard times to repair their homes or acquire a home. The home could either be a townhome, a condominium, etc., so members of the public were encouraged to apply, and the City would soon put out information on these programs on the City’s website on the City Administration page or grants; the programs began on October 1, 2021. Vice Mayor Grant commended City staff for their diligent on the proposed FY 2022 budget, the majority of which she absolutely agreed with; along with rolling back taxes, there were numerous programs funded in the budget that were beneficial to the Lauderhill community. She restated her concern with the amount of discretionary funds allocated to each member of the Commission. She worked with numerous companies and organizations that had a vested interest in the City of Lauderhill, and she felt they would be willing to give back to the City as they came before the Commission, and the City was very generous to them, so she pulled on them frequently for assistance with her initiatives. The first event she had when became a commissioner was at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center (LPAC), and she ensured all the revenue collected exceeded the budget of the event, so the City would not be responsible for any costs. She felt confident, going forward, she could continue along this path, but would find it difficult to approve the subject item during the COVID 19 pandemic, when so many people were still suffering financially. Commissioner L. Martin wished to know, for clarification, what Vice Mayor Grant was asking staff to reduce; that is, all the Commission’s allocations, just the discretionary fund amount, just the travel budget, or just the events budget. Vice Mayor Grant objected to there being a second line item for Commission travel, as the FY 2022 budget had a discretionary amount of $30,000.00, consisting of $25,000.00 from City funds and $5,000.00 from Waste Management, then there was a separate Commission line item of $8,000.00 for travel. Initially, each member of the Commission was given $4,700.00 for discretionary spending, and $10,000.00 for travel, and now those two figures totaled $38,000.00, which was quite a jump. Commissioner Dunn understood Vice Mayor Grant’s concerns, reiterating for the public’s understanding the intent of the discretionary funds for each member of the Commission was for use in the community at the commissioner’s discretion. Commissioner L. Martin asked if Vice Mayor Grant needed to make a motion to City of Lauderhill Page 15 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final September 27, 2021 adjust the Commission’s discretionary or travel funding first. City Attorney Hall affirmed if Vice Mayor Grant wished, she could make a motion to amend the FY 2022 budget. Mr. Hobbs interjected, stating the City’s FY 2022 budget was a balanced, advertised budget already approved by the State, and must be approved by September 30, per State law. If the Commission wished to reduce a line item, it would not take place at the present meeting, but at a subsequent Commission meeting after October 1, 2021; an amendment could be done through a supplemental appropriation to reduce the budget at that time. He reiterated the dollar amount of the budget, as advertised, must be approved at the present meeting. Commissioner L. Martin sought clarification the $5,000.00 from Waste Management each member of the Commission received was not normally placed in individual budgets, but was being done in the FY 2022 budget as a means to an equitable distribution among the Commission. He explained Waste Management gave the City $25,000.00 each year, so they would not be asked repeatedly to sponsor City events. Mayor Thurston opened the discussion to the public. Sam Wilkerson, 610 NW 38th Avenue, Lauderhill, commended Mr. Hobbs and his staff for doing a great job with the FY 2022 budget; he believed the FY 2021 budget was $183 million, and it was up to $191 million, and this was during a pandemic. He welcomed the City, through its numerous initiatives, programs and events getting the additional $8 million out to the communities. Mayor Thurston received no further input from the public. A motion was made by Commissioner M. Dunn, seconded by Mayor K. Thurston, that this Ordinance be approved on second reading. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 4- Commissioner M.

Martin mentioned on Friday, October 1, 2021, to pay tribute to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the first annual Pink Up Lauderhill event would be held; from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., there would be a reception in front of City Hall to light up the pink ribbon, and event sponsors and guests would kickoff the weekend’s event. Sunday, October 3, 2021, would be the first Pedal In Pink, with Ariel Jones, a.k.a. Muscle Mom; participants would ride through Lauderhill all dressed in pink paying homage to breast cancer awareness. He said some of the day’s highlights would include having a pink dump truck, on which survivors of and those fighting breast cancer, and their families would sign the truck, and the signatures would be permanently memorialized. There would be several vendors to help celebrate the cause, including a mobile sneaker truck selling sneakers. He noted Broward Health and American Cancer Society would be present conducting health screenings for all attendees, whether they rode their bikes or not, and people would be scheduled for mammograms, cervical exams, etc. There would be free blood pressure and cholesterol tests done onsite. He remarked those wishing to attend and ride could go to the City’s website to register; it would be a wonderful, safe, family-oriented, outdoor event. Commissioner L. Martin commented Broward County, as many counties around the country, was in a redistricting mode, and this meant the way districts were broken up for voting and representation purposes was being considered; much of the discussion was based on the 2020 Census information. He wished the public to focus on the dates, educate themselves, be forward thinking on how Lauderhill would be specifically affected, and give their input. Redistricting was one of the tactics used by some political parties to minimize people’s vote, putting residents in places where they had representation that was not in their best interest. He would ask City staff to post the information on the City’s website so the Lauderhill public stayed informed, adding there were only a few days left for voters to participate in the two forums listed for their area, and there would be a virtual forum on Wednesday, September 29, 2021. Vice Mayor Grant congratulated Mayor Thurston for the great honor, and Commissioner Dunn for Lauderhill Shines Cohort III; she looked forward to their success, and to Commissioner S. Martin on selecting a fine group of Trinidadian and Tobagonian community liaisons, who were always working well in the community.
