IX ORDINANCES & PUBLIC HEARINGS - FIRST READING (NOT ON CONSENT AGENDA) (AS ADVERTISED IN THE SUN-SENTINEL) 1. ORDINANCE NO. 22O-11-142: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, CHAPTER 20, TRAFFIC, ARTICLE II, PARKING, SECTION 20-16, PAVED RIGHTS-OF-WAY, CROSSWALKS, City of Lauderhill Page 2 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final November 28, 2022 DRIVEWAYS, BRIDGES, SIGNALS, ETC.; ALLOWING FOR VEHICLES TO PARK OR OBSTRUCT SIDEWALKS WITHIN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS ONLY BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 7:00 P.M AND 7:00 A.M.; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE (REQUESTED BY COMMISSIONER LAWRENCE “JABBOW” MARTIN). Attachments: ORD-22O-11-142-Code-20-16-sidewalk parking residential districts.pdf AR 22O-11-142 Commissioner L. Martin remarked the subject matter was an ongoing enforcement issue for code staff, and for many neighbors trying to deal with the situation. Most people were aware the living circumstances for numerous households changed, whereby, adults continued to stay longer or returned to live in the homes in which they grew up, but the driveways of such homes were not originally constructed to accommodate five or six cars being parked at these homes. It was often a challenge to fit so many cars on one property, and some residents got creative, and this drew the attention of code officers, who warned them about moving illegally parked vehicles, or risk being cited. He said one of the areas people parked was across the sidewalk to prevent cars being out in the road, but this obstructed the path of pedestrians, people in wheelchairs, etc., forcing them to walk in the road, which was a safety hazard. In discussions with code officers and community members, the subject ordinance was being forwarded for consideration by the Commission to authorize parking across sidewalks between certain hours of the day; specifically, during later hours in the night when people were not usually out walking or riding on sidewalks. Commissioner L. Martin thought the ordinance would reduce the need for code officers to cite residents for illegal parking, while adjusting to the reality of the City’s residents. He pulled the item from the Consent Agenda, as the original timeframe in the ordinance was 8:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., but he wished that to be amended to 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., as the evenings got darker earlier, giving persons walking at night an hour to do so, before cars could be parked across the sidewalks. Mayor Thurston acknowledged the change in many Lauderhill homes accommodating larger numbers of family members living under the same roof due to current economic challenges in the country, resulting in more cars being parked at those homes. He inquired as to the enforcement protocol for persons failing to adhere to the timeframe when cars were allowed to park across sidewalks; could offending car be towed; etc. City Attorney Hall replied enforcement would be a dual method; that is, it could involve either or both code and police officers. Deputy City Manager/Finance Director Kennie Hobbs affirmed both code and police officers enforced the City’s parking regulations, so it depended on which department staff was working in the area when a violation was observed. Police Chief Constance Stanley indicated officers would first issue a warning that would be logged in the Lauderhill Police Department’s (PD) system, so both code and police knew if an offender was already issued a warning; if the matter was not addressed, or a violation was repeated, a citation would be issued. For habitual offenders, cars would be stickered and given five days to be moved, or risk towing. City of Lauderhill Page 3 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final November 28, 2022 Commissioner Grant remarked the proposed ordinance would not apply to gated communities, as they had their own homeowners’ association (HOA) rules. City Attorney Hall affirmed this to be the case. Commissioner Grant sought clarification, if a home had, for example, seven residents with cars, the subject ordinance permitted all these cars to be parked at the home. City Attorney Hall answered no; the ordinance permitted, along with the two cars that normally fitted in the driveway, the parking of additional cars, usually two, that might block the sidewalk when parked behind the first two cars, and they could only park across the sidewalk from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. If cars were parked on lawns, and other areas of the yard, code/police officers could still cite those drivers; thus, cars parked at residential properties in violation of any other City codes could be warned, cited, etc. Mr. Hobbs noted the proposed ordinance did not affect property owners parking their cars in the direction of traffic alongside swale areas. Commissioner Grant commented on receiving calls from homeowners who were concerned neighbors constantly had numerous vehicles parked at their homes. City Attorney Hall explained the proposed ordinance was in response to an ordinance sponsored by then City Commissioner Howard Berger making it illegal to park vehicles across the path of sidewalks. The subject amendment sought to allow such parking only during the hours of 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.; for the other 12 hours, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., persons were not allowed to block sidewalks with their parked cars. Commissioner Grant questioned how the change would be communicated to Lauderhill residents. City Attorney Hall indicated the first steps would be for the ordinance to pass in two public hearings, the present hearing being the first; upon approval at second reading, the amended ordinance went into effect, and staff would convey the information to HOAs to disseminate to their residents. Commissioner Grant wished to know if HOAs and residents gave input in the process that led to the proposed amendment to ensure they supported the change. Commissioner L. Martin reiterated this was an issue code officers were dealing with for some time, and every member of the Commission, at some point in time, received complaints from residents regarding parking challenges at residences, requesting the City do something to accommodate the need for more parking at residences without incurring citations, or from residents complaining about people parking across sidewalks, blocking walkways, etc. Mr. Hobbs commented other issues code officers were dealing with regarded people parking in the street, and this was an issue that came up during the City of Lauderhill Page 4 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final November 28, 2022 Community Budget Advisory Board (CBAB) meeting; specifically, the danger of people parking in the street, a real public safety concern for both individuals having to walk around cars into the road, and cars blocking emergency vehicle access. The proposed ordinance seemed to be a good solution, after exploring others; it was in response to City staff receiving numerous calls from residents, for reasons mentioned above, along with complaints coming in after hours about blocked sidewalks, and numerous cars constantly parked in a neighbor’s yard. Commissioner Grant observed the proposed ordinance would not alleviate those complaints. Mr. Hobbs felt the proposed ordinance would alleviate some complaints, as people were resorting to parking in the road to prevent being cited for parking across sidewalks at night. The proposed ordinance would allow cars to park across the sidewalk during a limited timeframe, and remove the reason to park on the street; it gave them an additional option to park, and staff engaged residents in discussions to explore options for additional parking for their family members. Commissioner Grant noticed at least four HOA presidents in attendance, so she wished to get their feedback prior to the Commission voting, particularly how residents they represented felt about the proposed change. Chief of Code Enforcement April Skinner indicated PD would update their brochure given out to the public, as well as posting the information on the PD’s website. Sam Wilkerson, president of the HOA for Broward Estates and St. George, remarked they discussed the subject matter at length at the CBAB meeting, and they came up with the proposed solution set forth in the subject ordinance. However, he did not hear anything said about what was allowed on weekends, as the change being proposed applied to Monday to Friday, so he wished to know if the change applied to parking seven days a week. He thought the proposed amendment was a great idea, as it helped households with multiple drivers. Mayor Thurston opened the discussion to the public, inviting other members of the public, along with HOA presidents, to speak on the subject item. Varion Harris, president of the United Lauderhill Community Association, stated their community had no objection to the proposed amendment. His only concern was how it would affect persons who did not work in daytime hours. Commissioner L. Martin pointed out there was no perfect solution for any problem, but the goal was to address the greater number of persons affected in any situation. It was something that could be revisited once the amendment took effect, but steps had to be taken to address the current situation. Mr. Hobbs added the use of sidewalks was more prevalent during daytime hours, agreeing there was no perfect solution. Mr. Harris said some roadways were being used as speedways, some vehicles doing as much as 60 miles an hour (mph) in a 25-mph zone, resulting in some homes and cars in his area being damaged by speeding cars. He asked for the City of Lauderhill Page 5 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final November 28, 2022 City Commission and staff to factor this into their consideration of how to deal with various community issues. Willie Mae Cooper, president of West Ken Lark HOA, expressed appreciation that the proposed amendment would be put in place with the recommended timeframe. She was an early riser and observed students going to school having to walk in the road around cars blocking the sidewalk; their area, too, was prone to speeding cars, and the community’s children needed to be protected. There were people in wheelchairs being forced to go into the street due to cars blocking sidewalks, so the proposed amendment was a temporary fix, as the goal of addressing such issues had to start somewhere. Eula Murray-Hylton, president of the Northwest Lauderhill Neighbors Association, said her community repeatedly voiced concerns, agreeing the safety aspects had to be stressed, as they had residents in her community that did a lot of walking in the morning, some worked different hours, along with many neighborhood children. She agreed with Ms. Cooper on the problem with cars speeding through neighborhoods; she personally saw children playing outside, yet drivers sped down the street, never slowing for the children. The proposed amendment was not a catchall, but it was discussed at the CBAB meeting at length, and the need to get information out to residents; she polled some ten residents in her community, and none knew the types of parking considered legal or illegal by the City. She stressed the need for the City and community leaders to do a better job educating Lauderhill residents about parking dos and don’ts, as this would significantly help the situation. In the discussions at the CBAB meeting, mentione was made that some residences had sufficient yard space to allow homeowners, at their own expense, to legally widen the driveway to accommodate more cars; a number of residents in her neighborhood already did so; it was important to give homeowners options. Ms. Murray-Hylton felt it made little sense to have code and police officers constantly citing residents for parking violations, placing undue pressure on people for parking across sidewalks, when few other parking choices were available. Many in her community were concerned about the increase in the number of cars parked regularly on residential properties, claiming it did not look good, and brought down the neighborhood. She reiterated getting information out to the public was important, and the City could work on helping residents find legal solutions. Ms. Skinner commented once the ordinance’s amendment took effect, staff would create a flyer that would be sent to each resident’s home, educating them on the dos and don’ts of parking in residential neighborhoods. Ms. Cooper added residents in her neighborhood were concerned about the number of inoperable cars sitting in yards for many years, whether covered or uncovered. If some families removed these nonfunctioning vehicles, they would have more parking space for functioning cars parked at their property. Commissioner Grant mentioned hearing complaints about speeding from numerous residents, along with the problem of multiple cars parked at residences, but she remained unconvinced the proposed amendment would address the latter issue. Mr. Hobbs stated the speeding issue was a separate one better addressed by City of Lauderhill Page 6 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final November 28, 2022 someone from the PD, nor did he believe the proposed amendment would reduce the number of cars parked at residential properties. However, it would reduce the number of times code cited residents for parking across sidewalks, which was another cause for many complaints from residents, whose homes housed more drivers than the original parking allotment of their home could accommodate on a regular basis; thus, the amendment would provide a legal solution that allowed the type of parking, specifically across sidewalks, that was proving problematic for both residents and code/police staff. Commissioner Grant wondered about the safety issue such parking created. Mr. Hobbs believed the amendment would alleviate drivers resorting to parking on the street, whether fully or half in the street/half in the driveway, both posing a safety hazard; now they would be allowed to park across the sidewalk during certain times. Staff would reinforce to residents, as part of the education piece going out to the public, should the amendment pass, that parking on the street was illegal; other options for parking legally would be included; the information would be sent out on all forms of media, flyers, etc., as well as inviting residents to meet with code staff to explore parking options available to them. Commissioner L. Martin thanked the HOA presidents for working with City staff to be a part of the solution to the myriad of resident concerns; the proposed amendment was but one issue the City sought to address to help residents deal with the reality of living in the City, and trying to satisfy the various needs of the community. Existing ordinances regulating no parking in yards, speeding, etc. were not affected by the proposed amendment. City Manager Giles-Smith echoed the hope the proposed amendment would provide some relief for residents’ having problems parking their cars at home. Police officers were vigilant about citing offenders, and the number of citations doubled and tripled in number over the past years. She agreed speeding was a big concern in Lauderhill communities, and PD would work to get more officers in neighborhoods to ticket culprits caught speeding, along with those continuing to park in the streets. The City would utilize all the various media used to disseminate information to the Lauderhill community to ensure the information on parking reached as many people as possible, and for the information to be accessible to persons looking for more information. A motion was made by Mayor K. Thurston, seconded by Commissioner L. Martin, that this Ordinance be approved on first reading to the City Commission Meeting, due back on 12/12/2022. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 4- Commissioner M. Dunn, Commissioner L. Martin, Vice Mayor S. Martin, and Mayor K. Thurston No: 1- Commissioner D. Grant Abstain: 0 2. ITEM REMOVED 3.

Martin wished every member of the Lauderhill community to understand what the Lauderhill PD actively did on an ongoing basis to provide safety to the community, including the daily outreach to ensure the PD followed through on its pledge to make Lauderhill a safe city. Oftentimes, the negative press given the City dominated, but he wished to showcase the many wonderful things the Lauderhill PD Chief and her staff did for citizens on an ongoing basis. City Manager Giles-Smith indicated the City constantly looked for and applied for such grants in order to ensure Lauderhill’s safety; for example, the Lauderhill PD’s acquisition of the ShotSpotter system, and such grants helped relieve the tax burden on Lauderhill taxpayers to cover the cost of these acquisitions. Police Chief Constance Stanley presented the subject item, at noted in the backup, highlighting the following: • The City applied for both the 2021 and 2022 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG); the City applied for this grant every year through Broward County • The 2021 JAG was to enable the execution of the Operation Cease Fire initiative to reduce violent crime in the community; some of the PD’s requests stated in the grant application included: alternative light sources to assist crime scene technicians in identifying certain evidence unseen by the naked eye, or other usual investigative processes; this would help the PD find evidence to help close out cases; crime scene shields, so when crime scene technicians responded to homicide scenes, they could better protect the body of the victim from the public’s and media’s view; facial recognition technology of which the PD was currently using others’ resources to obtain information; the goal was for Lauderhill PD to acquire its own technology, and the request included purchasing a video camera and tripod for the camera to assist crime scene technicians; funds to cover overtime doing road patrol, and other specialized units to be able to further patrol the Lauderhill community to reduce crime • The 2022 JAG would enable the execution of Operation Cleanup to reduce narcotic activity and violent crime in Lauderhill; in 2021, narcotic seizures totaled 168 pounds, consisting of a combination of drugs; 648 narcotic related violent crimes, 47 narcotics-related arrests, and 12 federal indictments; this showed a City of Lauderhill Page 11 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final November 28, 2022 justified need for the 2022 JAG; the PD’s requests in this application was for funding to assist with the cost to enhance narcotics and drug detection, drug trafficking reduction, narcotics-related violent crime prevention, technology improvements, and efforts to strengthen community relations; they wished to use drug dogs to detect drugs, along with officer training for the dogs, accessories for K-9 officers and dogs, and outfitting police cruisers for K-9 specs; and a LizardQ camera system to allow crime scene technicians to get an aerial shot of the crime scene prior to any investigative manipulations by police staff; this shot of the scene would be included in the evidence used in court. A motion was made by Commissioner L. Martin, seconded by Vice Mayor S. Martin, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 5- Commissioner M.

Martin felt the subject item was an opportunity for the City to significantly expand one City park with a new playground, and repairing/replacing some pieces in other City Parks; he felt both were needed and wanted at parks where equipment was outdated and/or overused. The City needed to ensure Lauderhill’s children were kept safe, and given nice places to play. Parks & Recreations Director Scott Newton reviewed the subject item, highlighting the following: • For some playgrounds, the subject item would facilitate repairs, as many of the City’s park playgrounds were in good shape, but they just needed a few amenities to be repaired/upgraded • John Mullin Park: Only a few pieces of equipment needed repair, as, overall, the lifespan of the playground equipment was in good shape • Veterans Park: The playground improvements were more costly, as the changes entailed a complete replacement of the playground; it could take six to ten weeks for the improvement • St. George Park: The playground was brand new, but the canopy needed to be replaced • These park improvements would move quickly with the Commission’s present approval • West Wind Park: The Northwest Lauderhill Neighbors Association asked for a shade structure with a concrete slab to accommodate a picnic table, so they could hold birthday parties there. Commissioner L. Martin recalled asking staff about the expected lifespan of some park equipment, and standard warranties for playground equipment and accessories, particularly bigger ticket items. Mr. Newton mentioned the canopy shade usually had a ten-year warranty; most playground equipment had a one-year warranty. Commissioner L. Martin remarked, with the City’s extensive experience over the years as to which park equipment was more susceptible to breaking, staff should explore possibilities of having extended warranties, particularly for those that broke more frequently, to determine if, in the long run, it cost the City more to completely replace such equipment; this could include researching new manufacturers of park equipment and canopies that might offer better warranties. Mr. Newton concurred; for example, for the surface at some parks, in the past the City of Lauderhill Page 15 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final November 28, 2022 City used pour-in-place rubber, but when sections were repaired, it looked like patchy, so the move was to artificial turf, where seams of repaired areas were not visible. Vice Mayor S. Martin opened the discussion to the public. Mr. Harris felt Wolk Park was missed, asking for an update on repairs to the playground, as well as at Sadkin Center. Mr. Newton explained the repairs at Wolk Park were delayed, as vendors’ bids exceeded project budgets; currently, the City sought to design-build park projects from 30 percent to 100 percent with the playground was included, so they were currently working on the design phase. He desired a groundbreaking in 2023, hoping to keep that timeline on pace. The architects were working on the design of the building, after which the Development Review Committee (DRC) would review the design, etc., and then the project would go out to bid, with construction beginning after the selected vendor acquired all the necessary permits. The hope was by the City going with 100 percent design, it would bring costs down to the budgeted amount. He indicated the Wolk Park project included a new community center with a larger community meeting room, outdoor bathrooms, storage, pool resurfacing, etc. City Manager Giles-Smith asked for an update on the bridge. Mr. Newton said further design was needed, as the original intent was to replace only the deck, but the pillars would be included, so he expected that work to start in February 2023, as that project was currently in the design phase. Mr. Harris inquired if designs for the playgrounds were standard across the City. Mr. Newton responded there would be some similarities, but there would be differences tailored to each park. They tried to put artificial surfaces on the ground, as this was American Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant, and it lasted longer; slides and climbers were the more standard equipment found at all City parks. Mr. Harris asked if the City could set a deadline, as there had been numerous delays. Mr. Newton replied in the next two to three months he hoped to have a final design for review by the DRC; as far as when the project would go out to bid, advertising the bid usually took about 30 to 45 days, then a return before the Commission for approval once the City selected a vendor with whom to contract for the project; permitting was next before construction could commence. The earliest start time for the project was likely summer 2023; it was the City’s experience that parks usually closed for about a year during construction. He added staff continued to work on the amenities in the park to ensure they remained in good usable condition while they waited on project approvals, so construction could begin. Mr. Wilkerson questioned, with regard to the Broward Estates/St. George communities, if it took a long time to get a project completed, why when deterioration of equipment in City parks was observed, did no one said anything, so City of Lauderhill Page 16 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final November 28, 2022 the City could begin to address the situation sooner rather than later. He mentioned the playground in his community used to have a swing for the younger children, but the swing was left out of the playground improvements, asking if it was possible for the swing to be replaced. Mr. Newton explained, when his department and Finance staff considered the approach to park improvements, they sought to strike a balance, looking at cost effectiveness. City Manager Giles-Smith felt part of the issue was the City started off the process with the general obligation (GO) bond doing numerous design/build, and many projects came in way over budget, and the City could not afford to pay what vendors proposed, hence projects having to go out repeatedly to bid. Where bids came in as affordable, the companies forwarding these bids did not perform to the standard the City desired. She noted when City staff spoke with consultants and professionals, they thought it might be better if the City had the designs done at 100 percent rather than 30 percent before sending out request for proposals (RFP); in this way, more contractors would be competitive in their quest to meet the project scope and cost. This was the path the City was taking in an effort to move projects forward, so every City park would be up to a certain standard, making sure all parks had the amenities Lauderhill residents could enjoy. She knew Mr. Newton and his staff, and all other department staff involved were working to move all the City park projects forward as soon as possible. Ms. Giles-Smiths said staff would keep Mr. Harris updated. Commissioner Grant remarked on incidents of graffiti, stating some time ago Vice Mayor S. Martin informed the Commission about graffiti at neighborhood playgrounds in Mr. Harris’ area, asking if this situation had been resolved. Mr. Newton answered yes; his staff responded very quickly to getting rid of any graffiti reported to them; he recalled at the tennis office where the construction began, it was boarded up and painted. His staff and he received reports of graffiti in areas spanning the whole City; it was a constant issue, though he received no recent reports. Commissioner L. Martin thought Lauderhill had one of the most diverse park/recreational programs in the County, as far as youth sports were concerned. In recent discussions, it was said two or three park improvement projects would be coming onboard in the next year on land the City acquired, which would be great for the surrounding communities. However, he was never a proponent of doing something additionally, until existing park projects were completed; he always supported improving existing City facilities. A motion was made by Commissioner L. Martin, seconded by Mayor K. Thurston, that this Resolution be approved. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 5- Commissioner M. Dunn, Commissioner D. Grant, Commissioner L. Martin, Vice Mayor S. Martin, and Mayor K. Thurston Abstain: 0 17.

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 SHALL BEGIN IMMEDIATELY BEFORE ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Dunn mentioned Commissioner L. Martin and she attended the National League of Cities Conference in Kansas City in early November; the City received a grant from the National League of Cities in relation to the City being selected for the second year in a row to participate in their Cities Inclusive Entrepreneurship Program. They would be focusing on procurements to implement the Target Market Program, and the SBE Program, working with Harvard University. Karen Pottinger and she represented the City in the acceptance of the grant, and it was good to connect with other six similarly selected cities from around the nation. City Attorney Hall congratulated Vice Mayor S. Martin on his appointment as the City’s new vice mayor. Vice Mayor S. Martin thanked his colleagues for allowing him to serve as the City’s next vice mayor. Commissioner L. Martin wished to share information pertaining to the City’s already vibrant youth sports program; specifically, he read into the record some highlights: • The Bronco Football Program finished in sixth place out of 15 teams in overall wins, where a year ago, overall, they finished 12th; five teams advanced to the AYFL playoffs: 6U DineroBoyz, 7U BadBoyz, 8U DoyaBoyz, 10U SBGG, and 13U Breadgang; four teams advanced to the second round: DineroBoyz, BadBoyz, SBGG, and Breadgang; 6U DineroBoyz made history, being the first team to make it to the AYFL Super Bowl in that age group, for which Head Coach, CJ Jones, was commended; though they came in second, it was an excellent effort by team and coach • The Lady Bronco Cheerleaders: Mighty Mites 6U through 7U ranked superior City of Lauderhill Page 23 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final November 28, 2022 under Head Coach Shanita Hall; Youth Prep 8U to 9U took first place in the Grand Champions under Coaches Kay and Bre; 10U took second place under Coaches Margaret and Ray; Junior Prep 11U took the Grant Championship, first place, under Coaches Maya and Dee; Juniors 12U took second place under Coach Tisha; seniors of 13U won the Grand Championships; this gave the City three first-place finishing cheerleading teams in the competition held November 20th • Lauderhill Royals Cheerleaders Travel Team competed the past Thanksgiving holiday weekend in the Southwest Region Pop Warner Competition in Orlando, Florida, where they won first place, and advanced to compete in the Pop Warner National Competition on December 3rd to the 5th, 2022, with the hope of advancing to international competition; he commended Coaches Maya and Dee • It was important to acknowledge the positive achievements of Lauderhill’s youth, and their supporting adults, rather than focusing too much on the negative reports about Lauderhill • The Lauderhill Lions took one of their teams to the Super Bowl game held at the Miami Stadium; though they were not successful, it was a great experience for the players. Commissioner L. Martin congratulated City Manager Giles-Smith for her selection as Citizen of the Year by the Omega Psi Phi Chapter of Eta Nu in Pompano. He remarked attending the National League of Cities Conference for the first time; it was a very engaging and eye-opening experience, and he met many wonderful people from around the country. He learned that in Kansas City, they had old neighborhoods they were able to revitalize with popup art stores and locations, and the success in uniting small neighborhoods using art was a pleasure to see. He congratulated Vice Mayor S. Martin on his recent appointment to vice mayor. Commissioner Grant congratulated Vice Mayor S. Martin on his recent appointment as Lauderhill’s vice mayor, noting he had the support of his fellow members of the Commission in that endeavor. She mentioned on Saturday, December 3, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Jazzin’ at St. George Park would take place, with entertainment that included: The Old Skool Gang and Lauren Carter. She reminded everyone the World Cup soccer tournament was currently taking place; she was excited to report that Shaquell Moore, formerly of the Lauderhill Lions was playing for the U.S. Soccer Team; Coach Keith and other soccer coaches helped Mr. Moore develop his skill over the years of his playing youth soccer in Lauderhill; it was an amazing accomplishment. Another player, Timothy Weah, though not from Lauderhill, played in Broward County, and his mother and father did work in Lauderhill; his father was currently the President of Liberia; Mr. Weah scored the first goal for the U.S. team in their first 2022 World Cup match. Commissioner Grant expressed gratitude for being reelected to the City Commission, stating getting 84.7 percent of the votes was not a bad achievement, for which she thanked City of Lauderhill voters. City Manager Giles-Smith congratulated Mayor Thurston and Commissioner Grant on their recent reelection to the City Commission, and Vice Mayor S. Martin on his appointment as the City’s vice mayor. She thanked Commissioner L. Martin for acknowledging her selection as Citizen of the Month by Omega Psi Phi Chapter of Eta Nu. She congratulated Commissioner Dunn on receiving the Woman of Distinction Award from March of Dimes. She mentioned being very proud of the achievements of the City’s children growing up playing youth sporting in Lauderhill, City of Lauderhill Page 24 City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes - Final November 28, 2022 later transitioning into athletic superstars; kudos to the great coaches who helped them on their journey. City Attorney Hall mentioned one of the current Miami Dolphin football team players, Tyreek Hill, grew up playing for the Lauderhill Lions. Mayor Thurston congratulated Vice Mayor S. Martin on his appointment to vice mayor, commending him for doing a great job chairing the meeting for him while his eyes recovered; he hoped to soon visit his eye doctor to get new glasses.
