.. Special City Commission Meeling November 6, 2009 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida the two-week period or when the sign gets put up whichever comes first, though no more than two weeks, the City's responsibility will be for the Policeman; as to the crossing guards, at least one crossing guard will continue to be paid for by Mr. Katz that is in front of his shopping center, ifit is deemed that we need to have more crossing guards, then that should not be his responsibility but will be the responsibility of the City under the contract with the crossing guards. Commissioner Scholl said he wanted to make sure we are on the same page with the FDOT application as well, if we get the traffic light the stanchions go back up, he wants to make sure that we are all in agreement with that so when we go to FDOT, if we get the traffic light the bollards go back up on the street. . City Attorney Ottinot recapped the motion: RK Associates will pay for one Police Officer until the installation of the sign; 2) RK Associates will continue to pay for one crossing guard until the traffic light is installed. He said in terms of the City Manager's direction, basically he has determined the cost already, he gave a reduced cost to Mr. Katz and so that issue is out ofthe way in terms of the cost. Commissioner Scholl said that we are mutually agreed to FDOT, and Mr. Katz just added a caveat to that that if we don't get a traffic light, if we get a traffic light or curb cut, the bollards go back up, and he is offthe hook for the crossing guard. Commissioner Brezin said the curb cut is also included in that motion, and City Attorney Ottinot said correct. Vice Mayor Thaler clarified a Police Officer for two weeks, one crossing guard that Mr. Katz will pay for until there is a traffic light or a curb cut. Vice Mayor Thaler moved and Commissioner Scholl seconded a motion to approve the above stated motion. The motion was approved by a roll call vote of 5-0 in favor. V ote: Commissioner Brezin yes Commissioner Goodman yes Commissioner Scholl yes Vice Mayor Thaler yes Mayor Edelcup yes City Attorney Ottinot said that he wants the agreement with Mr. Katz to reflect this motion. Mr. Katz said as a caveat, any time you build a new building you want some kind of art, and ifthey have the curb cut they will do something nice there like brick pavers. Mayor Edelcup thanked the Commission for coming together with a unanimous decision on a very contentious topic and what we have came up with is a fair solution for all sides of this issue. 4.
