<br />Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting March 15,2012 <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida <br /> <br />are three solutions: 1) keep it open; 2) close it; or 3) build an enclosure. He does not want to <br />build an enclosure, and Commissioner Scholl said we don't know what an enclosure entails. <br />]f staff is going to take the default position of seven days a week, an extra hour, then he and <br />Commissioner Gatto are getting boxed out again, then he is going to be in favor of the two <br />hours. Again, we get into these technical parliamentary arguments here and he doesn't really <br />get to voice his clear point based on the voting record. Weare not voting on this but his <br />point is if the fall back position is seven days a week, and that is where staffis going to go, <br />then obviously he is going to say go for the two hours but he doesn't feel we should extend it <br />at all because he feels that until we find a permanent solution for these folks, we should stick <br />with where it is at right now. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gatto said she cannot SUPPOlt extending it in any way, shape or form it is just <br />two hours which is negligible and those two hours are important to the people that she is <br />representing. Mayor Edelcup said let's go back to where we are at right now, it will either <br />fall back completely or go to the two hours. Vice Mayor Thaler said it is either seven days a <br />week or two days a week, that is it, that is where we are. Commissioner Scholl said or no <br />days a week or there is no increase, again, you are acting like it is either or, and what City <br />Manager Cohen is saying is that if we don't give him direction, then he is going to seven <br />days a week. If we give him direction and say we don't want an increase, it is clear but that <br />is not the direction that we are giving him, and so, in this case Commissioner Gatto can vote <br />no, and he is going to vote for the two hours and we will go with the two hours but you stay <br />true to your residents. Mayor Edelcup reminded Commissioner Gatto that all residents ofthe <br />City are her residents, and she said she understands that but she is trying to help people that <br />are elderly or have other issues that are going on. She noted that she and the City Manager <br />sat on one of the benches last week and they were astounded how they heard the noise <br />pinging off from different balconies as they were sitting there, this is very serious. <br /> <br />City Manager Cohen said that we are just as anxious to bring resolution to this and he is <br />trying to move this project forward. He can assure the Commission that staff is acting in <br />good faith and are spending a lot of time on this issue trying to bring some resolution. <br /> <br />13.
