Summary Minutes:Special City Commission Meeting April 9,2013 Sunny Isles Beach,Florida <br /> the group you could go to, and she will give her contact information. <br /> Regina Fridkin also asked what the status is of Samson Park, and Mayor Ede lcup asked the <br /> g � Y P <br /> City Manager what the status is,the construction of the Chateau, and when the Park will be <br /> redesigned and available again. City Manager Russo said it is a two-year project and we are <br /> looking at February 2015 as a completion date. In addition to a new playground and <br /> landscaping,we are going to be also improving the other side of the Park,and it will be done <br /> in sections. They will be expanding the bathrooms with a new electrical system and a new <br /> sewer system in it,and a new playground being mostly funded by a developer agreement by <br /> the Chateau. <br /> Vice Mayor Aelion said from an informational standpoint,he thinks we should make a better <br /> effort of informing the residents because he has had several phone calls regarding Samson <br /> Park. Besides the newspapers, etc., perhaps we could install a sign saying this is the future <br /> site of the Park, some rendering that will mitigate this concern. City Manager Russo said <br /> they have had printed signs out there for quite a while. They already have put it in the <br /> newspapers but they will provide better signs. Mayor Edelcup said one of the things that we <br /> could do is,during the interim while Chateau is being built,is to have a public workshop on <br /> the redesign of Samson Park. That way everybody in the community will have an <br /> opportunity to hear what we are planning on doing. We can hear their suggestions,if we can <br /> pick up some of those suggestions and get the community totally involved in the <br /> redevelopment of Samson Park. That way people will better understand what is being <br /> planned for that area and when it will be ready. Commissioner Scholl said he agrees with <br /> Vice Mayor Aelion, this has generated so many calls. Mayor Edelcup said he thinks some <br /> people thought that somehow some of the Park is being used for private purposes, and it <br /> won't be. The best way to do that is to have a workshop on the redesign, and we need to <br /> address that anyway now rather than later because it will take us a year just to come up with <br /> the concept whatever it is that we want to do there. <br /> Commissioner Scholl moved and Commissioner Gatto seconded a motion to approve the <br /> resolution. Resolution No. 2013-2040 was adopted by a roll call vote of 5-0 in favor. <br /> Vote: Commissioner Gatto <br /> Levin yes <br /> Commissioner Scholl yes <br /> Vice Mayor Aelion yes <br /> Mayor Edelcup yes <br /> 4.
