<br />Summary Minutes: Special City Commission Meeting <br /> <br />May 20, 2004 <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach, Rorida <br /> <br />Commission wants to do something different, they would have to amend the Ordinance. <br />She also noted that on the Development ordinances and the process, we have provided <br />for the developers to pay for professional fees that we incur as they go through the <br />application process, to date, we have not received one dollar from any developer. She <br />said that up to now it has really been a cost recovery in-house, now we are actually <br />paying out dollars to professionals, and that is tax payer money going out of pocket, as <br />opposed to developer money, as provided in the Ordinance, being paid for as part of the <br />process. She said she is specifically talking about Miriam Maer, and Mayor Edelcup <br />said we should make sure no permit is issued unless all of those fees have been paid, and <br />City Attorney Dannheisser said we could either not schedule or tell them that they have <br />got to pay these fees, but we really need to collect them. Mayor Edelcup said when we <br />have the Workshop, it would be a good time to remind them that they won't get a permit <br />unless all fees have been paid related to the approval process of their project. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brezin said to Vice Mayor Goodman that he made mention of the fact that <br />builders and other people do come in and they address some of the Commissioners and <br />you felt that you were in the dark on a lot of issues, and she said she has had that feeling <br />from time to time so she agrees with him. She realizes that there are things that the <br />Sunshine Law prevents them from discussing wi th one another but if there are issues that <br />come about, that we cannot tell a builder or one of our constituents, but if there is any <br />information that anybody on our Commission or staff are receiving from any of the <br />builders that Sunshine Law would permit them from having that information. Mayor <br />Ede1cup said that the Sunshine Law prevents them from speaking to one another, and the <br />best way is when they speak to a developer to encourage them to please speak to all the <br />Commissioners individually so that all have an understanding. <br /> <br />Public Speakers: Henry Kay <br /> <br />Mayor Edelcup noted that Commissioner Thaler has requested for a test of a telephonic <br />Commission meeting. Commissioner Thaler said that the rules changed last year and it <br />is allowed to participate in meetings via telephone under certain circumstances. He said <br />he will be gone for the June 3, 2004 City Commission meeting and would like to test it <br />out at that time. <br /> <br />3.
