<br />Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting March 15,2007 <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida <br /> <br />Commissioner Brezin said the medians are very beautiful but this is a very specialized area <br />and there should be something very attractive and different. <br /> <br />Mayor Edelcup suggested not to approve this resolution and have the City Manager come <br />back with something from O'Leary because they are the ones contracted to do it, why spend <br />money to bring somebody else in when O'Leary is able to do something for us on Collins <br />A venue that is satisfactory. Vice Mayor Thaler suggested bringing in Calvin Giordano for <br />the same amount of money, and Mayor Edelcup noted that we don't need another study done. <br /> <br />City Manager Szerlag said he already has a plan view of that area from O'Leary and we don't <br />have specifications per se, if he would go back to just O'Leary and say that he wants <br />complete development designs for three seasonal change-outs, and have her firm do <br />everything that is listed in the letter, then that would still cost $9,350.00. He said ifhe would <br />take O'Leary's planting and got with staff and say okay here is the planting that was <br />presented at Commission, why don't we order so many of these, and those, etc., then that <br />costs nothing for a landscape architect. Commissioner Goodman said the question is who is <br />going to do the landscaping architecture. Mayor Edelcup said that we have a listing of plants <br />that will grow in this area, from that selection, we don't even need an architect, and it was the <br />consensus of the Commission to leave it to the City Manager's discretion to come up with <br />more flowers, he has heard what we all had to say, give him a chance to do it. <br /> <br />City Attorney Ottinot said procedurally we can withdraw this Resolution and give the City <br />Manager the discretion. <br /> <br />Commissioner Goodman moved and Commissioner Iglesias seconded a motion to withdraw <br />this resolution and it was withdrawn by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. <br /> <br />Commissioner Goodman moved and Commissioner Iglesias seconded a motion to approve <br />a new Resolution giving the City Manager the power to give us a beautiful median. <br />Vice Mayor Thaler wanted it noted that whatever we have seen so far we don't <br />particularly care for. Commissioner Brezin noted that at the time O'Leary made the <br />presentation Kathy O'Leary pointed out that there are several things that can be done <br />in this area that we could not do in the area of the medians because of the amount of <br />traffic, etc., and so if there are things that can be done here where this area will be a <br />little more outstanding and different from the ordinary median strip. Resolution No. <br />2007-1065 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. <br /> <br />Mayor Edelcup asked City Manager Szerlag for a timetable and City Manager Szerlag said <br />he would have a plan for the Commission at the next Commission meeting because it will <br />exceed $10,000.00. <br /> <br />10H.
