<br />Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting <br /> <br />April 21, 2011 <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Thaler asked how many docking spaces we have, and Ms Simpson said the <br />"Princess" Yacht is taking up two spaces, and so technically we have four left, one was <br />damaged but it will be repaired. As a point of clarification, in the RFP we included that <br />during construction they must allow access for anyone who is going to be utilizing the docks. <br /> <br />Commissioner Scholl moved and Commissioner Aelion seconded a motion to approve this <br />resolution. Resolution No. 2011-1701 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. <br /> <br />10D. A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Approving a <br />Street Lighting Agreement with Florida Power and Light (FPL) for the Removal of26 <br />Concrete Streetlight Poles and 27 Light Fixtures Within the Central Island Area, in an <br />Amount Not to Exceed $29,487.15, Attached Hereto as Exhibit "A"; Authorizing the Mayor <br />to Execute Said Agreement; Authorizing the City Manager to Do All Things Necessary to <br />Effectuate this Resolution; Providing for an Effective Date. <br /> <br />Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and Public Works Director Gio Batista reported that <br />this Agreement allows us to complete the beautification for the Central Island area where we <br />have already done some street and roadway improvements. There are still some concrete <br />light poles out there that are going to be removed, and the execution ofthis Agreement would <br />allow FPL to move in and begin the process of removing those poles. <br /> <br />Public Speakers: none <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Thaler said after we finish here we should have FPL look at the rest of our City <br />and take down poles throughout all of Sunny Isles Beach. Mr. Batista said that this morning <br />he put together a transmittal to FPL requesting additional information as to who owns certain <br />poles so we can start picking out those poles that should/can be removed if they don't fall <br />under another undergrounding project, and we are going to be targeting those poles. <br /> <br />Mayor Edelcup said at the Workshop we had earlier this week, he had asked staff for an <br />update on the entire undergrounding project that was supposed to be a 10-year project 14 <br />years ago and we are nowhere near the completion. But it would be good if staff would <br />present an update as to where we stand, where we need to go, and the projected time <br />references that we can use to guide us in the future as to when the City will be completely <br />underground and all the overhead poles taken down. <br /> <br />Commissioner Scholl asked if the removal of the Atlantic Island poles is in the current <br />contractor's agreement or are we relying on FPL to remove the poles when the last house is <br />hooked up, and Mr. Batista said that FPL will be removing those poles. When all the homes <br />are energized and their contractor comes in and makes the connection, FPL will be pulling <br />the permit. We have been in contact with them and they will be coming in quickly to do that. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Thaler moved and Commissioner Scholl seconded a motion to approve this <br />resolution. Resolution No. 2011-1702 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. <br /> <br />7 <br />
