PLEASE CONTACT THE CITY CLERK FOR FORMS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. AGENDA 1. CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL OF MEMBERS The meeting was called to order by Mayor Scholl at 6:30 p.m. with the following officials present: Mayor George "Bud" Scholl City Manager Christopher J. Russo Vice Mayor Jeanette Gatto City Attorney Hans Ottinot Commissioner Isaac Aelion [via conference call] City Clerk Jane A. Hines, MMC Commissioner Dana Goldman Deputy City Manager Stan Morris Commissioner Jennifer Levin Deputy City Attorney Fernando Amuchastegui 2. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE /INVOCATION Action: Fang Oliver led the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, and Rabbi Alexander Kaller gave the invocation. The Rabbi's daughter went on the dais with a charity box and collected change. Mayor Scholl noted that the Rabbi is raising money for the new Community Center. Mayor Scholl gave opening remarks of decorum,and noted that Commissioner Aelion is here via conference call as he is in Israel. He also noted that our former Mayor Norman S.Edelcup is here in the audience tonight. Mayor Scholl gave a mini-State of the City as this is the six- month anniversary of the new Commission. He reviewed what has been achieved to date as the new Commission, and as a new Commission they hit the ground running. The most important thing is that we acquired the site next door for our school expansion,our City Hall expansion,and our Civic Senior Center which will all be housed there. Staff is working with our Planners and Architects to design that building, and we are also working with the School Board. As part of that project we are working on a pedestrian bridge design across Collins Avenue from City Hall to the other side so that the kids can come along Collins Avenue and potentially come across that bridge and not have to cross Collins Avenue to go to school. We were also able to acquire the piece of land on the south end of the City in front of the Arlen House,and so instead of having potential town houses or retail there,it will be a Park that will continue into the Intracoastal Park system. Mayor Scholl said he gave a speech this morning at the Aventura Marketing Council and the name of his speech was"The Ten Billion Dollar Sandbar"which is kind of a metaphor for our City. In talking about the good things, he also talked about some of the challenges. One of our biggest challenges as we all know is the erosion of the beach, it is very frustrating. He is happy to say that we have appropriated the money,and the engineers are hard at work looking at ways to mitigate our beach erosion. As we said, we are not really in a position to pay for renourishment out of City funds but what we were able to do is to potentially pay for some mitigation techniques that keep the sand from shifting so often. In conjunction with that, he Summary Minutes:Regular City Commission Meeting June 18,2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach,Florida helped form a Task Force of our neighbors: the Mayor of Golden Beach, the Mayor of Bal Harbour, the Mayor of Surfside, and the Mayor of Miami Beach. We are all getting together in July to do a joint effort going forward in dealing with the State, Federal and County Governments on beach renourishment. If we all get together and call a Press Conference we may be able to put some heat on our government entities with the intention of moving along our beach renourishment efforts. At the next meeting City Manager Russo might have more information regarding what our engineers are finding and what some of the potential solutions might look like. Mayor Scholl said the other thing that has been near and dear to many of us is we have contracted for a very comprehensive Traffic Study and we call it a "Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Study". We are looking at all the traffic that runs through the City, all the ways our residents move through the City including walking and bicycling, all the ways that folks get around. To that point, at the back of the Commission Chambers are some brochures for the first public Town Hall Meeting regarding the "Comprehensive Plan Update and the Transportation Master Plan"which will take place on Thursday, July 9, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. in the Conference Room at Winston Towers 600. Our Consultants are reaching out to the community because we want to hear from our residents who know better than anybody about what the problems are in being a pedestrian in that area. We are going to have a series of these Town Hall Meetings with the Consultants and the City Manager, and it will be an interactive meeting as they want to hear from you, they want to get your ideas. When folks call him on traffic, he listens to what they say and has been feeding it to our Consultants. Mayor Scholl said that is kind of a quick State of the City,you know how to contact all of us, and it is a team effort. We have a great Commission and a great staff,and everybody has been supportive and that is why we are getting things done. He feels that everyone's heart is in the right place and a common vision has been shaping up on what we have been doing and the way we have been moving forward. He thanked the Commission and the Staff and he is looking forward to the next six months,and maybe for next year's State of the City we will be reporting a lot more good things. 3.

ORDINANCES FOR FIRST READING 7A. An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida,Amending Section 265-5 of the City Code Entitled "Definitions" to Clarify the Meaning of Height; Providing for Severability; Providing for Repeal of Conflicting Provisions; Providing for Inclusion in the Code; and Providing for an Effective Date. Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and City Attorney Ottinot said that the Commission had directed staff to control,especially on the west side,with respect to the maximum height. Planning and Zoning Administrator Claudia Hasbun reported this Ordinance clarifies the definition of"height". We had a height limitation for a building with structures, basically above that they could go and up to that with their mechanical equipment,and other structural elements on the rooftop of their building. Now we are trying to define that everything has to be within that height limitation. Public Speakers: None Mayor Scholl clarified that on the east side of Collins Avenue we had a height limitation which was the absolute number and we have been mainly relying on the FAA who say that 500 feet is the height and you can't go an inch above that. On the west side of Collins, it was a little more flexible, and so if you had a 190-foot height limitation for instance,traditionally the mechanical on the roof was allowed to go above that. As we continue to try to mitigate the west side of Collins Avenue density, we are getting clarity on this issue. And so if we pass this Ordinance it will be an absolute height limitation on the west side so that it is completely clear to developers that it has a hard ceiling. City Attorney Ottinot said there will be an amendment in respect to steeples,steeples will not be permitted over 42 inches. Commissioner Goldman moved and Vice Mayor Gatto seconded a motion to approve the proposed Ordinance on first reading,as amended. The motion was approved by a roll call vote of 5-0 in favor. Second reading,public hearing will be held on Thursday,July 16, 2015, at 6:30 p.m. Vote: Commissioner Aelion yes Commissioner Goldman yes Commissioner Levin yes Vice Mayor Gatto yes Mayor Scholl yes 8.

DISCUSSION ITEMS 12A. Discussion regarding the Skate Park by Vice Mayor Jeanette Gatto. Action: Vice Mayor Gatto said the Skate Park has been open for four and a half years now for the teens. Since school is out, the Park is now open an additional two hours, from 1:00 p.m.to 7:00 p.m. every day. Sound travels up and goes into the balconies of the condos. She lives in Winston Towers 300 and she brought her iPad to let the Commission hear the noise that is being generated. The City took over management of the Skate Park in October 2014. From October 2014 to March 2015 most of the users of the Park are non-residents: 694 residents and 1,300 non-residents. She suggested that the Skate Park be temporarily closed until it can be moved to Haulover Park. Mayor Scholl said he is not in favor of closing the Park because once it is closed, it is permanently closed. He and the City Manager have been working with Miami-Dade County Parks Director Jack Kardes on a Plan to move the Skate Park to Haulover Park. City Manager Russo said he met with Mr.Kardes a couple of weeks ago and he had said he would get a Plan to him in two weeks and so he should be receiving it soon. Cultural and Community Services Director Susan Simpson said Jack Kardes called her regarding the Plans, and so it is being worked on by the County's planners. Commissioner Levin asked who would pay for that Skate Park to be moved to Haulover?
