Action: Commissioner Iglesias said about two months ago they all met with FPL and discussed going back and forth looking at Atlantic Isle for the undergrounding and now they are going to do the landscaping and, in speaking with the City Manager, he wanted to bring back to the Commission to re-prioritize. City Manager Russo said that they had a Capital Projects meeting this afternoon and are looking in the budget on re-ordering our priorities. He said in the works with engineering being done right now on undergrounding is the alleyway in Golden Shores, 172nd and North Bay Road, a small section we are adding for streetlights on North Bay Roadjust north of 174th Street. He stated that they are reevaluating because Sunny Isles Boulevard is being done as part of our project and where we thought we were going to be starting more on Collins the development is from where we started this plan, the developers are taking care of sections that we thought we might have to go into. He said he has to get some numbers, they have to talk to FPL we just had a meeting to talk about the numbers aspect of that and he and Jorge had a meeting with Scott Gombar about looking at reevaluating the priority list, and today we had a meeting about numbers. Commissioner Iglesias said based on the deal that we made with the Sayan property the property owners in Atlantic Isle are going to get money which we can use, and City Manager Russo said that timing may be good because everyone has to make their own individual connection and we can't get involved in that. City Manager Russo said that there was a question whether or not we could mandate it which we still have to look at. Commissioner Goodman asked if that is going to be looked at in the 2006 budget and City Manager Russo said that they are looking at it in there and there are a few phases to it and this is the kind of thing that would definitely go into 2005/200612007 because we have a couple of areas already in the works. Mayor Edelcup said it is in the 1 O-year plan. Vice Mayor Thaler asked if all this work would effect the landscaping that we just did, and Commissioner Iglesias said no. Mayor Edelcup said to schedule a Manager's update and City Manager Russo suggested to schedule a Workshop on City Projects at 5:30 p.m. and break at 7:00 p.m., prior to the July 14,2005 Commission meeting. The Commission agreed and Commissioner Iglesias said he will verify his calendar. ]8
