Commission Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting February 18, 2010 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida inform the public, he feels we are unfairly ticketing them. Commissioner Scholl said the Driver's Manual states "right turn on red in Florida after stop ", and so that is clear, but he agrees with putting up a sign, and he feels we should have a first offense rule to give them a get out of jail free for the first offense and if they get a second offense, they get ticketed. Mayor Edelcup said if we put the sign up, we can do away with the 12 MPH rule, and until such time as we put a sign up, we should not ticket them. Commissioner Goodman said that the sign should say "Stop on Red Before you Make the Right Turn". Vice Mayor Thaler requested that the sign be expedited. Commissioner Scholl asked if we have the software to keep track of the one warning rule, and City Attorney Ottinot said yes, ATS may have a billing based on the license tag. Commissioner Scholl said from this day forward we can send them a warning letter that states this is your one warning, and if you do this again, you are going to get a ticket. City Manager Conner asked for clarification, if we mount the sign do we also give the first one a warning, and Commissioner Scholl said there are three issues here: 1) the Mayor said no tickets until you mount the sign because it is ambiguous; 2) You are going to put the sign up; and 3) When the sign is up, the first ticket is a warning and then you ticket them after the warning. City Attorney Ottinot said we will have to come back and amend our Code for the warning issue, and we will get it to ATS.
