<br />Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting February 21, 2008 <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida <br /> <br />doesn't want to see this renewed at this expense to the City. City Manager Szerlag said this <br />extension is for up to 90 days and he hopes to get someone on board in about a month. <br /> <br />City Manager Szerlag asked in terms of the experiment if the Commission has any comments <br />to make on having a Code Enforcement Officer being assigned essentially for the Collins <br />Avenue corridor, and Sunny Isles Boulevard. Mayor Edelcup said that this has been a <br />proponent that he has been championing for a long time with his walks up and down the City <br />and if the Vice Mayor was here today, he is sure that he would comment likewise, that we <br />really need to make sure our face of our City looks presentable to the public, to tourists, and <br />to people that look upon Sunny Isles Beach as a new model City. He said by having these <br />extra people having the ability to monitor that is a plus for us, and certainly he definitely is in <br />favor of this in the long run experiment. He said as far as he is concerned, it is something <br />that we now need to do on a day-to-day basis, and what he has seen, things are looking a lot <br />better with the City now that Code Enforcement is doubling their efforts to bring it to <br />fruition. He said that he knows that we still need to get some coordination between Code <br />Enforcement and the Building Department because on some of his walks he understands that <br />there has been some misinterpretation of what one department is expecting the other <br />department to do and he would be remiss ifhe didn't bring it out that we need to make sure <br />in the future, if there is a Code Enforcement problem that we don't have a problem of <br />enforcing it because of conflicting views in the Building Department. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Solera indicated that the new program that is in place will <br />be in a department that touches Code Enforcement and in our Department as well. He said <br />that it provides a better link between our departments in terms of the amount, the situation of <br />locations, and whether violations have been issued or not. He said that their success is not <br />only theirs as the Public Works Department works in tandem with them because most of the <br />issues that are out there, are issues that are related to Public Works. He said that they are <br />able to work with Public Works to resolve those issues and they have been very cooperative <br />and have worked diligently to fix them. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brezin moved and Commissioner Goodman seconded a motion to approve <br />the resolution. Resolution No. 2008-1233 was adopted by a voice vote of 4-0-1 (Vice <br />Mayor Thaler absent) in favor. <br /> <br />10Q.
