ORDINANCE NO. 22O-01-101: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL, FLORIDA AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDR) TO AMEND SCHEDULE A, LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS TO ADD A DEFINITION OF SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTALS; AMENDING SCHEDULE B, ALLOWABLE USES; CREATING ARTICLE III.

ORDINANCE NO. 22O-02-102: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL, CHAPTER 12, BUSINESS REGULATIONS, ARTICLE II, CERTIFICATE OF USE AND LOCAL BUSINESS TAX RECEIPT, SECTION 12-53, LOCAL BUSINESS TAXES TO MODIFY THE RATES TO EXPRESSLY INCLUDE SHORT-TERM RENTALS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE (REQUESTED BY COMMISSIONER DENISE D. GRANT). Attachments: ORD-22O-01-102-Code 12-53 Business License Fee Short-term rentals.pdf AR 22O-01-102 Commissioner L. Martin mentioned in his review of the subject ordinance, he asked staff a number of questions in relation to the bottom of section 12 53, Local Business Taxes, numbers 24 to 27; referring to short and long-term rentals, extended stays, and Airbnbs in the Lauderhill community. He sought clarification on the taxable amount being attached to these properties; staff informed him the numbers would be revisited or explained in a different way, so they made sense. City of Lauderhill Page 7 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final February 14, 2022 City Attorney Hall clarified, based on conversations with Commissioner L. Martin, staff realized the entire ordinance needed to be adjusted to include the numbers assigned to Airbnb vacation rentals. Commissioner Grant commented on not being contacted on the subject item that she sponsored. City Attorney Hall indicated the questions to staff came close to the time of the present meeting, and it would have been a violation of the Sunshine Law to relay Commissioner L. Martin’s questions to Commissioner Grant outside the public meeting forum. Staff examined the entire ordinance, not just Commissioner Grant’s proposed amendment, and found the existing ordinance contained numbers for various business license categories; Mr. Hobbs and his team felt the needed to look at the entire ordinance and make adjustments, hence, staff’s recommendation to table the item. Mr. Hobbs added staff wished to ensure the proposed amendment was consistent with the entire ordinance. The State dictated the City’s ability to change rates, which could only be done biannually, so staff wished to ensure the amendment was not doing something different than what was reflected in remaining sections of the ordinance. He noted one of the questions was how the City charged per bed, per unit, etc., but for residential units, the charge was per unit, rather than per bed, per house, and a four-bedroom house would pay the same fees as a one-bedroom condominium. But the proposed amendment referred to owners of multiple properties; for example, a property owner of NW 56th Avenue who owned 100 or 200 plus units, and the question was always asked why there were no economies of scale if he owned multiple units. Commissioner L. Martin asked if the $17.87 was a State mandated amount. Mr. Hobbs said this was the fee the City charged for the service, for residential rentals. Commissioner L. Martin stated his question to staff before the meeting was, in looking at the language in paragraphs three and four, which states the charge would be billed as a part of the total business tax, etc. the $17.87 seemed low in comparison to others. Assistant City Attorney Angel Rosenberg remarked each tax was not the total fee, as staff went through all the categories and determined which applied, and the number of categories were added together for a total fee. Commissioner Grant thought it was correct to clarify the ordinance to prevent any incorrect interpretation or misconceptions. A motion was made by Commissioner D. Grant, seconded by Commissioner L. Martin, that this Ordinance be tabled. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 5- Vice Mayor M. Dunn, Commissioner D. Grant, Commissioner L. Martin, Commissioner S. Martin, and Mayor K. Thurston Abstain: 0 City of Lauderhill Page 8 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final February 14, 2022 X RESOLUTIONS (IF NOT ON CONSENT AGENDA) 3. RESOLUTION NO. 22R-02-19: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL AWARDING THE BID TO LTG SPORT TURF ONCE, LLC IN THE AMOUNT OF $197,680.00 TO RENOVATE THE BERMUDA GRASS ATHLETIC FIELD AT VETERAN’S PARK; PROVIDING FOR PAYMENT FROM THE APPROPRIATE BUDGET CODE NUMBER UTILIZING CDBG FUNDS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE (REQUESTED BY CITY MANAGER, DESORAE GILES-SMITH).

Parks & Recreation Director Scott Newton stated the bid went out twice, and both times LTG Sport Turf Once, LLC, was the only bidder; staff spoke with the owner, who felt he would have the work completed by June 2022. He said there was a price increase due to the pandemic in relation to materials, and more so to trucking. The usual practice was to allow 30 days for a quoted price to hold, but in the trucking industry, they said quotes held for five days. He commented if the City did not approve the subject bid award, the fields could not be finished by soccer season. Commissioner Grant asked if Mr. Newton was comfortable with the company’s ability to get the work done well and on time. Mr. Newton answered yes; they had very good references. Mayor Thurston opened the discussion to the public. Sam Wilkerson, 610 NW 38th Avenue, Lauderhill, wished to know if other items were included in the $197,680.00 bid amount other than grass. Mr. Newton replied the complete job consisted of grading the field, removal of existing fill, and the resodding. Mayor Thurston received no further input from the public. A motion was made by Commissioner D. Grant, seconded by Commissioner L. Martin, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 5- Vice Mayor M. Dunn, Commissioner D.

GEORGE PARK BE NAMED AFTER COACH BUTCH INGRAM IN HIS HONOR; PROVIDING FOR PLACEMENT OF A PLAQUE IN A PROMINENT LOCATION AT THE BASKETBALL COURT; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE (REQUESTED BY COMMISSIONER LAWRENCE “JABBOW” MARTIN). Attachments: RES-22R-02-26-Naming basketball court-Coach Ingram.pdf AR 22R-02-26 BESG_Naming of Public Areas_120621.pdf Commissioner L. Martin said this was an undertaking of the community in reference to the new covered basketball court that would be completed, hopefully, in the next 30 days at St. George Park. The community voted to name the court after the late Coach Butch Ingram, who was known for being one of Dillard High School’s past coaches, and a resident of Parkway at one point. He mentioned Mr. Ingram’s widow, Denise Ingram, was attending the meeting remotely. Denise Ingram thanked the City, on behalf of the Ingram family, for the subject resolution, expressing gratitude for the opportunity Mr. Ingram had to work for 17 years with City Commissioners and staff, homeowners associations (HOA), etc. She said Mr. Ingram’s service started with a neighborhood watch, and he continued to be a community father to many Broward County youths at a variety of high schools, including Dillard, Boyd Anderson, Piper, Stoneman Douglas, and others. One of Mr. Ingram’s main goals when he retired in 2005 was to bring basketball to the community for underprivileged children, as he always taught basketball camp, and many children were unable to afford to attend the camp he coached, so this was his heart’s desire. She appreciated Commissioner L. Martin and his diligence, working with the HOA, to remember his legacy, as he was not only a coach and mentor, but also a community father. Victor Ingram, Mr. Ingram’s son, echoed Mrs. Ingram’s thanks for the City’s honoring his father, stating he loved the Lauderhill community; he grew up watching his father become a community father, dedicating his time to helping others. Mr. Wilkerson mentioned speaking with Mr. Newton, who assured him the completion of the basketball court should be by the beginning of March, so he would be in touch with Mrs. Ingram and family when everything was lined up for the dedication ceremony. Commissioner L. Martin commented Rosa Jones, a classmate of Mr. Ingram, and wife of the late and former City commissioner Tyson Jones, was spearheading getting her classmates on board to support whatever the community planned for the actual ribbon-cutting ceremony. He again thanked Mrs. Ingram and her family for sticking with the City, while Mr. Ingram served the youths in the Lauderhill community. A motion was made by Vice Mayor M. Dunn, seconded by Commissioner L. Martin, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 5- Vice Mayor M. Dunn, Commissioner D. Grant, Commissioner L. Martin, Commissioner S. Martin, and Mayor K. Thurston City of Lauderhill Page 12 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final February 14, 2022 Abstain: 0 11.

Attachments: RES-22R-02-29-Nominate TDC Member.pdf AR 22R-02-29 City of Lauderhill Page 13 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final February 14, 2022 Mayor Thurston asked for a nomination to the subject board, stating he met with new County Commission Torey Alston to encourage him to appoint a member of the Lauderhill Commission to Broward County’s Tourist Development Council (TDC). He recalled the Commission, as a body, discussed this matter a year ago, and there was a consensus to recommend Vice Mayor Dunn for appointment to the TDC. County Commissioner Alston suggested he bring the matter to the City Commission, and relay the feedback to him, after which he would proceed with that appointment. Commissioner Grant inquired as to the outcome of Vice Mayor Dunn’s appointment a year ago. Mayor Thurston responded then County Commissioner Dale Holness refused to appoint Vice Mayor Dunn, as she did not support him in his election campaign. Commissioner Grant wished to know the term of the appointment, asking if the person appointed by Mr. Holness was still serving on the TDC. City Attorney Hall assumed board appointments followed commissioner seats. Commissioner Grant stated this was a unique and sensitive matter, and she recalled a year ago the Commission selected Vice Mayor Dunn to serve on the TDC, and she assumed Vice Mayor Dunn was serving under Mr. Holness. Since Mr. Holness left the County Commission, she received numerous calls asking her to serve on the TDC, so it was an interesting situation, as she supported her fellow Commissioners in their endeavors. She said the reality was she had done a lot of work in the City of Lauderhill that would complement what the TDC was about, so she thought it would be a disservice to the local community who supported her if she did not voice her desire to serve on the TDC. She read the following into the record: Since November of 2018, I have been representing the City of Lauderhill with distinction and exceptional demonstration of servant leadership. The initiatives and programs advanced have been acknowledged and well received by residents and visitors alike. The resounding deck of my work has helped to strengthen the relationship with the Convention Center and has prompted its strong engagement. Business initiatives have helped over 2,500 Lauderhill businesses, and built relationships and partners with CEOs of banking institutions, further causing them to take a greater look at Lauderhill. My work with the CRA and Economic Development has been fruitful and promising, bringing in solid potential investors nationally and abroad, case in point, Blue Mountain Coffee was looking at Lauderhill. The Adopt-A-Park program has created a space for businesses and organizations to invest in Lauderhill, and give back to the community. The S.A.K.E. Awards in the past years, and in 2021, engaged the Miami Heat, Inter Miami, Europe, as well as Usain Bolt of Jamaica. Ilene Lieberman Park was designated as a destination location for wellness activities by Visit Lauderdale because of the work. Lauderhill partnered with Visit Lauderdale powered by the Convention Center to educate and provide resources to businesses during the pandemic, and Lauderhill was considered to be number one in helping 500 businesses to take the pledge, and highly recognized by the CEO of the Convention Center. I was placed on a tourism committee after the passing of the great one to help to direct a diversity initiative City of Lauderhill Page 14 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final February 14, 2022 regarding a tourism board. Commissioner Grant believed she was qualified to sit on the TDC, and her work in the community spoke for itself, and it was something she always wished to do since being elected to the City Commission in 2018; regardless of the words she spoke, her work spoke even louder. She remarked, collectively, any member of the City Commission was qualified to sit on the TDC, as all members of the Commission did exceptional work the Lauderhill community. She restated her desire to sit on the TDC. Mayor Thurston sought clarification on who “the great one” referred to. Commissioner Grant replied Albert “Al” Tucker. Vice Mayor Dunn thanked Commissioner Grant for the service she provided to Lauderhill, agreeing that all members of the City Commission were qualified to sit on the TDC. She desired the opportunity to fulfill the position the City Commission recommended her to the previous year, which Mr. Holness declined to confirm, adding, in her time serving the City, she achieved a number of accomplishments, some of which brought national attention to Lauderhill, the most recent being the Raising the Bar initiative that garnered Lauderhill significant media coverage under her direction and leadership, including a feature on Yahoo Finance, as well as over five million media impressions globally, in a challenging news week for Lauderhill. Several positive hits pushed the ranking of the negative stories down, raising the ranking of the positive mention of Lauderhill. Her professional background was in marketing and public relations, and she worked on destination marketing campaigns in the past in a professional capacity, so she understood what it meant to not only ensure the City was promoted, but in a way that gave Lauderhill positive media coverage, while increasing heads in beds. Vice Mayor Dunn sought the opportunity to utilize her professional expertise, as well as her already-demonstrated commitment to Lauderhill’s economy. She asked the Commission to consider recommending her nomination to serve on the TDC. Commissioner L. Martin wished to make a motion to reconfirm the Commission’s recommendation of Vice Mayor Dunn to serve on the TDC, solely from the point of view that, though all members of the Commission were qualified to serve on the TDC, the Commission supported her appointment to the TDC a year prior, and since she was not given the opportunity to serve in that capacity through no fault of her own, this was another opportunity for her to do so. Having done no detriment to the City in the interim since last year’s recommendation by the Commission, Vice Mayor Dunn should afforded the opportunity to serve on the TDC. Commissioner Grant commented, as Mr. Holness declined to appoint Vice Mayor Dunn the previous year for what was thought to be political reasons, the Commission should not recommend Vice Mayor Dunn for political reasons. She remarked, we know who brought who to the table, but in the interest of being fair, based on the body of work or work product, with the absence of Mr. Holness on the County Commission, the seat on the TDC was now vacant, and it was up to newly appointed County Commissioner Alston to select his appointee for the TDC. Mayor Thurston clarified he met with County Commissioner Alston, and he City of Lauderhill Page 15 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final February 14, 2022 expressed a willingness to appoint the person the Lauderhill City Commission selected. Commissioner Grant claimed to have been told differently. Mayor Thurston opened the discussion to the public and received no input. He mentioned he served on the TDC for about eight years, and no other member of the City Commission expressed a desire to serve, which was unfortunate, as he would have gladly handed the reins over to any one of his fellow-commissioners. Commissioner Grant recalled then Commissioner Campbell said he would serve. Mayor Thurston affirmed Mr. Campbell indicated he might serve, but it required the approval of the County Commissioner, and he never served, the details of which he was unaware. A motion was made by Commissioner L. Martin, seconded by Vice Mayor M. Dunn, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 3- Vice Mayor M. Dunn, Commissioner L. Martin, and Mayor K. Thurston No: 2- Commissioner D. Grant, and Commissioner S. Martin Abstain: 0 12B.

Martin said even at the State level it was recognized the issues and problems local municipalities were having dealing with aggressive driving on their roadways, to the extent that the State Legislature put forth language in regulations to stiffen penalties, giving law enforcement more “teeth” to go after people making it a danger to travel on Florida’s roadways; the language addressed stunt driving and other offensive driving practices. The subject resolution was an illustration of the City’s support for these efforts by the State to put in place laws to regulate such behaviors, with stiffer fines and penalties to deter the behavior of bad actors in the community. A motion was made by Commissioner L. Martin, seconded by Vice Mayor M. Dunn, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following vote: City of Lauderhill Page 16 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final February 14, 2022 Yes: 5- Vice Mayor M. Dunn, Commissioner D.

Mr. Wilkerson recalled at the previous Commission meeting, Ms. Swanson indicated she only wished to serve part time. Assistant City Attorney Rosenberg clarified Ms. Swanson said she was willing to serve as an alternate, which was the position she was being appointed to. There was still one seat opened for a regular representative for Area 6. Mayor Thurston received no further input from the public. A motion was made by Commissioner L.

City Attorney Hall believed the Commission’s desire was for the Parks & Recreation Department to take over the maintenance of the City’s parks, and in order to do this, staff needed to purchase the necessary equipment to do the work required. It was easier and more cost effective to find a vendor that purchased the equipment and piggyback on that contract. Mr. Newton added the supplier of the equipment was a vendor of a national contract, in which the vendor supplied current equipment at a better price; the vendor the State contracted with supplied last year’s models. The three pieces of equipment would be used to maintain ball fields: a top dresser, sprayer, and an infield rake; the equipment would be used at parks throughout the City. A motion was made by Commissioner D. Grant, seconded by Commissioner S. Martin, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 5- Vice Mayor M. Dunn, Commissioner D.

She felt the subject resolution would clearly show the City’s support for all temples, synagogues, and churches in Lauderhill. A motion was made by Commissioner D. Grant, seconded by Commissioner L.

In speaking with Kentrea White in the City’s Finance Department, she identified the subject Lauderhill business was not currently certified, so Ms. White would reach out to them to ensure they took advantage of the City’s Small Business Enterprise (SBE) program.

City Manager Giles-Smith clarified the Commission agreed any additional events other than those listed had to be put on the agenda for approval by the Commission . Commissioner Grant remarked her understanding, based on discussion at previous Commission meetings, was the list could not be added to, or if a commissioner wished to add an event to their list, it would require Commission approval. However, she witnessed some unlisted events and activities taking place without Commission approval, and it raised the issue of duplicating efforts, as sometimes an event was on a commissioner’s list one month, and in the next month another commissioner had a similar event, but the Sunshine Law prevented discussions between Commissioners outside a noticed public meeting. She wished staff to work with the Commission to figure out a resolution. City Attorney Hall suggested the Commissioners discuss their list of events at a workshop, so they could make adjustments as desired. Commissioner Grant added, it was not just the issue of staff time, but that taxpayers’ dollars were used for such events, and the City Commission and staff had to be conscientious, as having three or four similar events could be problematic. The hope was the Commission could discuss how to minimize such occurrences, looking at each commissioner’s events list for possibilities to partner or delete an event from a list if another commissioner was already doing a similar event. Commissioner L. Martin thought a workshop was a wonderful idea, as it would City of Lauderhill Page 21 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final February 14, 2022 foster togetherness; the Commission would work together, respect each other’s boundaries, and discuss such matters further. A workshop forum was the ideal place for members of the Commission to discuss and vet ideas and thoughts on events; oftentimes, he received calls from residents on a good idea for an event, so he was willing to commit to discuss the matter further in a workshop forum. He wanted to see the City take over some of the larger Commission initiatives, so they became City events and not linked to any specific commissioner; members of the Commission were not in a popularity contest, they were elected to serve the Lauderhill community. Vice Mayor Dunn concurred 100 percent, as she was always in favor of collaboration. Commissioner Grant felt some of the onus should be on City staff when a commissioner voiced an idea for an event or initiative that was similar to one already being done by another commissioner. Staff should inform the commissioner of a possible duplication at that time, suggesting a possible collaboration or different event. She restated her support for a workshop to enable further discussion. A motion was made by Commissioner S. Martin, seconded by Commissioner L. Martin, that this Resolution be approved.

Martin remarked, in reading the application, he was unable to decipher whether the subject project was a banquet hall or recording studio, or a combination, requesting clarification. He wished to verify there were no noise issues, as the subject plaza used to have such issues with a business that was no longer there, and the plaza abutted a residential community to its rear. The City Attorney and Lauderhill Police Department indicated the subject uses had no noise issues. Molly Howson, Acting City Planner, said the applicant requested approval for a music production studio; the goal was to create beats, record, and mix music, and they had a buildout permit that led to the subject application before the Commission. It would be a very high-end studio buildout in one of the plazas on the east side of University; it would have four recording rooms, three with vocal booths, a reception area, no large gathering spaces, and City staff was not concerned with the use turning out to be anything other than what the owner, Marvens Metellus, applied for; the studio was operated on an appointment-only basis. Mayor Thurston collectively swore in all persons wishing to speak on the proposed quasi-judicial matter. Marvens Metellus, 4811 East Pacific View, Lauderdale Lakes, Fl 33309, reaffirmed the proposed application was to allow him to open a recording studio, which was his dream, and the service he would be a good investment for the people and the City, as the recording studio would provide opportunities for those interested in the recording industry. He reiterated the use of the studio would be by appointment only, and there would be no large gatherings, etc. Commissioner L. Martin commented the Commission’s position was to ensure commercial uses in close proximity to residential uses posed no nuisance to the City of Lauderhill Page 23 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final February 14, 2022 latter, nor did the Commission wish a business owner to begin operating, only to find out the use was incompatible with the surrounding uses. This was the reason the City Commission and various City departments did due diligence for any use coming into Lauderhill, and the Commission considered staff’s recommendations when applications came before them for a vote. He wanted the Lauderhill community to understand what the City Commission was authorizing, what the expectations were, how the proposed business would be run; all the dialog to these ends were a part of the public record. Commissioner L. Martin mentioned being around the music business for many years, and felt the proposed use was a very positive opportunity for many people to do positive things, but there were other elements the City needed to consider. He was pleased to meet the owner(s) and looked forward to visiting the location; he wished them success. Vice Mayor Dunn mentioned having similar concerns to those of Commissioner L. Martin voiced, and staff allayed those concerns. Ms. Howson wished to highlight, on Mr. Metellus’s behalf, that he would provide high-end equipment and soundproofing for the interior of the space, making it was highly unlikely even neighboring businesses would be affected by noise levels inside the recording studio. Vice Mayor Dunn questioned if Mr. Metellus had in his plan any intention of working with any youth programs. Mr. Metellus’s associate answered yes they would, as her role was counseling; she would help youth using the recording studios set up for the future, teaching them aspects not taught in the general school curriculum about finances, and helping them to understand they did not have to follow music trends, such as rap music, etc. These mentoring services were a part of the business giving back to the community, and were separated from the regular clientele expected to use the studio. Commissioner Grant wished to know more about Mr. Metellus, asking him for a brief history of being in the music business. Mr. Metellus replied he had been in music as a business for a little over a year, but he worked not just with rap, but with other genres, such as R&B, rock, etc. It was a gift he had inside he wished to impart to others. Commissioner Grant asked if the persons using the studio would be laying tracks, etc. Mr. Metellus answered yes. Commissioner Grant requested Mr. Metellus and his partner incorporate music production into the educational component for youths, as it was sometimes just as, if not more, lucrative than being a singer or rapper. Commissioner L. Martin directed attention to Mr. LeReu, whose business was movie making, and he ran a video program for the City’s youth, so the two business could explore ways to collaborate. City of Lauderhill Page 24 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final February 14, 2022 City Manager Giles-Smith said there were a number of Commission initiatives Mr. Metellus might wish to explore as a new business to Lauderhill; for example: Raising the Bar, Rebound Lauderhill Business Program, Lauderhill Shines, etc.; they provided resources to help new businesses succeed. She directed his attention to the City’s website, specifically the economic development link, where programs providing assistance to small businesses were detailed. A motion was made by Commissioner L. Martin, seconded by Vice Mayor M. Dunn, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 5- Vice Mayor M. Dunn, Commissioner D.

XIV UNFINISHED BUSINESS XV OLD BUSINESS XVI NEW BUSINESS XVII COMMUNICATIONS FROM PUBLIC OFFICIALS SHALL BEGIN IMMEDIATELY BEFORE ADJOURNMENT City Attorney Hall mentioned Commissioner Grant’s recognition for Winn Hoffman, stating Mr. Hoffman was a loyal member of the City’s Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Board with an excellent attendance record; with his architectural experience, he always knew the right questions to ask and followed City projects very well. He last saw him at one of Commissioner Grant’s events in December 2021, adding that Mr. Hoffman was a lovely Lauderhill resident. Vice Mayor Dunn thanked her colleagues and City staff for a successful launch of Raising the Bar, noting it was a Lauderhill Commission initiative, as all members of the Commission voted for the pieces comprising the program. There were 109 registrations, and they created partnerships with several organizations; the City was grateful for the attendance by President of the Health Foundation of South Florida, along with other community partners, such as Minority Builders, and the City of Lauderhill Page 26 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final February 14, 2022 Lauderhill Chamber of Commerce. She noted they did something different with the event launching, as they worked very closely with the City’s communication staff to do a strategic public relations campaign, using the tool she used in her private practice, PR Newswire, to distribute the press release for the event. As a result, there were over 156 million media impressions with a total reach of 52 million individuals. She remarked a Google search of Raising the Bar showed it was on Yahoo Finance, and the information was distributed in a variety of medial outlets around the nation. When media stories reported Lauderhill in a less than flattering light, she was pleased to see in the Google news reports for Lauderhill that there were several positive hits, not just Raising the Bar, but the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center (LPAC) was positively featured. Vice Mayor Dunn recommended to the City’s communication staff that whenever there was an event in Lauderhill that could boost the City’s positive image with any level of media coverage, whether regional, statewide, nationwide, etc., for the event or initiative to be posted on PR Newswire. The NBC news story not only covered the event launch, but they did a profile from a Black History Month angle; they were connected with several Lauderhill businesses; she showed one of the stories they ran (video shown). Commissioner S. Martin commending Vice Mayor Dunn for an excellent program. He reminded everyone on February 23, 2022, the Inverrary Steering Committee would meet to discuss options developers put together; they would put them into a packet, so the information could be shared with the Inverrary community.
