Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting July 21, 2011 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Public Speakers: Ken Jeffries; John McWilliams; Gerry Goodman; Ken Jeffries of FDOT said a Resolution is needed approving the concept and the intent to enter into the Maintenance Agreement for the decorative items for the crosswalks, sidewalks, handrails, landscaping, and for the cost differential between the standard pay items that the Department would install versus the decorative items. John McWilliams of Kimley-Horn and Associates and Consultant to FDOT made a power- point presentation on the conceptual design for the intersection of State Road 826 and AlA. He noted that FDOT would install standard concrete sidewalks, where there is a retention area that dips down around the curve for the service road, they will be building a slight retaining wall and because of the drop-off we will need a railing to make sure pedestrians don't fall through to the retention area. Commissioner Scholl asked if there was a better stamping technology for the asphalt because with the traffic running over that asphalt it seems to burn off quickly, and Public Works Batista said there is a limited selection that FDOT allows in the right-of-way. One of the things they spoke about was sheets of Thermo-Plastic that get impregnated and pressed into the asphalt itself, it is fairly thick, it lasts longer, and it is something that FDOT has allowed in the past. He noted that FDOT no longer allows pavers. City Attorney Ottinot clarified that the Resolution would be amended by providing the City Manager with the authority to negotiate and execute a Maintenance Agreement. Commissioner Scholl moved and Commissioner Aelion seconded a motion to approve the resolution, as amended. Resolution No. 2011-1743 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor.
