To ensure that certain life safety standards are followed in order to keep the 26 residents safe in the event of a fire (similar to the requirements for the 27 homes/facilities referenced in Paragraph 4 above). 28 29 6. The “Community Housing” aspect of “Day or Night Treatment with Community 30 Housing” is already licensed by the Department of Children and Families pursuant 31 to § 397.311(18)(a)3, Fla. Stat. and the only difference between the licensed 32 facilities referenced in this statute and unlicensed sober homes is that the 33 “Community Housing” facility which is nothing more than a residence for persons 34 in recovery is owned and/or operated by the same person or entity that owns and 35 operates the “Day or Night Treatment Facility” even though no treatment is 36 provided in the “Community Housing:” home, whereas a Sober House (again 37 nothing more than a residence for persons in recovery) may be owned or operated 38 by anyone and is not directly affiliated with the treatment facility. 39 40 WHEREAS, uniform regulation of these Sober Houses will provide safety to a 41 disadvantaged group and protect both residents and their surrounding communities; and Page 2 of 4 1 WHEREAS, the City Commission finds the regulation of Sober Houses would be in 2 the best interest of and for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of its residents, 3 both temporary and permanent. 4 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE 5 CITY OF WILTON MANORS, FLORIDA, THAT: 6 Section 1: The foregoing “WHEREAS” clauses are hereby ratified and 7 confirmed as being true and correct and is hereby made a specific part of this Resolution. 8 Section 2: The City Commission urges the State Administration and Florida 9 Legislature to support the regulation and licensing of Recovery Residences and Sober Houses 10 throughout the Sate. 11 Section 3: The City Clerk is directed to distribute this Resolution to Governor 12 Rick Scott, the Speaker of the House, the President of the Senate, the Broward County 13 Legislative Delegation, the Florida League of Cities, the Florida Association of Counties, the 14 Florida City County Management Association, the Broward County Board of County 15 Commissioners, the Broward County League of Cities, and each of the municipalities in 16 Broward County. 17 Section 4: This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon passage and 18 Adopted. 19 PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF 20 WILTON MANORS, FLORIDA, THIS ___ DAY OF NOVEMBER 2013. 21 22 CITY OF WILTON MANORS, FLORIDA 23 24 25 By:________________________________ 26 GARY RESNICK, MAYOR 27 28 29 Page 3 of 4  1 ATTEST: RECORD OF COMMISSION VOTE 2 3 ____________________________ MAYOR RESNICK _____ 4 KATHRYN SIMS VICE MAYOR CARSON _____ 5 CITY CLERK COMMISSIONER GALATIS _____ 6 COMMISSIONER GREEN _____ 7 COMMISSIONER NEWTON _____ 8 I HEREBY CERTIFY that I have 9 approved the form of this Resolution. 10 11 12 ______________________________ 13 KERRY L.

I just moved here five months ago from Connecticut- and the ability to play tennis year-round was a factor. In choosing places to live, I chose Wilton Manors for many reasons, but the tennis park was something I looked it and impacted my decision. I'm very glad I did. I'm enjoying the facility- its clean and well kept and very easy to use. I've started Lessons with Donna, and have met some people there through the tennis clinics. So, I just wanted to thank Donna for being so welcoming, and letting you know that for me at least, the tennis facility has worked out well, and I'm glad I choose Wilton Manors for a home. Thanks, Michael Nendick 2 I
