Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting February 16,2012 City of Sunny Isles Beach. Florida Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and Human Resources Benefits Administrator Yael Londono reported noting that our Insurance Brokers Brown & Brown did an excellent job of requesting proposals for coverage. After extensive negotiations with various providers, Brown & Brown as well as staff recommends that we continue with our current providers, renew our existing plans with no changes to the level of coverage. The medical plan is the only plan experiencing an increase which is 2%. At this time we are also recommending the approval of an increase of$9 to the monthly allowance provided for the health coverage. The $9 is equivalent to the 2% increase in the employee only HMO high, and in order to remain equitable we would increase the employee only allowance to $659, currently it is at $650, and the employee dependent allowance from $750 to $759, the opt out allowance would remain at $500. They reduced the current rate for the long term disability which reflects an annual savings of 4.18% for the City. Commissioner Scholl said the net is $28,000 on the annual total for all the plans. Public Speakers: Bob Hollander of Brown & Brown Commissioner Aelion moved and Commissioner Scholl seconded a motion to approve the resolution. Resolution No. 2012-1847 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. lOG.

Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and City Manager Cohen reported that this is in essence similar to addressing a scrivener's error. The first agreement had a one-year term with no renewal, and we are simply adding an additional term to it with automatic renewal clause in it, the price remains the same. Public Speakers: None Commissioner Aelion said it was discussed at the Workshop that steps were going to be taken to ensure that the parking spaces were designated and for the signs to be appropriate, and also the $5 fee was going to be looked at. City Attorney Ottinot said that Epicure has a stand alone sign stating $5 for beach and park, and the City Manager is working with him to revise that sign so it just says beach. Mayor Ede1cup said the spots within the parking lot are not designated specifically for us anywhere in the parking lot where our people can park, it is whatever space is available. That is what we had agreed to on the original agreement, and City Attorney Ottinot said initially he had given us space in the back, and Mayor Ede1cup said yes and we changed it, we changed the number of days and we changed to unspecified spots. All we are doing right now is extending what we previously had agreed to. Commissioner Aelion moved and Commissioner Scholl seconded a motion to approve the resolution. Resolution No. 2012-1848 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. 12
