Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 17, 2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 7. ORDINANCES FOR FIRST READING 7A. An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. Amending Ordinance No. 2014 -436; Amending the City's Budget No. BA1415 -05 for the 2014 -2015 Fiscal Year - General Fund, Streets Maintenance Fund, Building Fund, Public Art Trust Fund, Capital Projects Fund, and Stormwater Operations Fund; Authorizing the City Manager to Do All Things Necessary to Implement the Terms and Conditions of this Ordinance: and Providing for an Effective Date. Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and Finance Director Audra Curts -Whann reported noting that hopefully this will be the final budget amendment for the 2014 -2015 fiscal year. It has several purposes, and the reason it covers all the funds is it is applying the COLA that was awarded earlier in the year, taking that budget out of the Human Resources Department and applying it across the board to all the departments where those funds went. We are making sure that all the budgetary needs for the year for closing out for audit are handled. In the Capital Projects Fund one project was postponed due to other work that was being completed prior to that and so those funds were redirected to where they were needed. Also, we did not budget for the Public Art Trust Fund proceeds that arrived, and so we appropriated those funds to allow expenditure or camlover of those funds to the new budget. Public Speakers: None Vice Mayor Gatto moved and Commissioner Levin seconded a motion to approve the proposed Ordinance on first reading. The motion was approved by a roll call vote of 5 -0 in favor. Second reading, public hearing will be held on Thursday, October 15, 2015, at 6:30 p.m. Vote: Commissioner Aelion yes Commissioner Goldman yes Commissioner Levin L Vice Mayor Gatto ves Mayor Scholl ves Mayor Scholl said before we hear Item 713, Commissioner Aelion just read a newspaper article about going green, and he wants to compliment staff because they installed on his iPad a new agenda software today. He is now using both the agenda book and his iPad. Next time he is hoping we can dispense with the book, save trees, and stick with the software. 7B. An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Amending Section 265 -45(E) of the City Code to Clarify Height of Walls and Fences in the Back Yard Area; 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 Planning and Zoning Administrator Claudia Hasbun reported this Ordinance is as a result of new FEMA regulations that effect single - family homes. It provides for a fence or a wall to be measured from the property grade instead of from the street so that they can have a meaningful fence in their backyard. Public Speakers: None 3 Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 17, 2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Mayor Scholl said this actually helps the homeowner, and he is a single- family homeowner, because the wall will be proportionate to your yard as opposed to if the crown of the street is lower and your house is elevated; you could end up with a little wall. Years ago when he put up his wall, he had to get a variance in order to have the wall. Commissioner Goldman moved and Commissioner Levin seconded a motion to approve the proposed Ordinance on first reading. The motion was approved by a roll call vote of 5 -0 in favor. Second reading, public hearing will be held on Thursday, October 15, 2015, at 6:30 p.m. Vote: Commissioner Aelion ves Commissioner Goldman ves Commissioner Levin ves Vice Mayor Gatto ves Mavor Scholl ves 7C. An Ordinance of the City Commission of the Cite of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Amending Section 265 -35 of the City Code Entitled "Mixed Use Resort (MU -R)" Zoning District to Permit an Elevated Pedestrian Bridge Between Towers on the Same Lot; Providing for Severability; Providing for Repeal of Conflicting Provisions; Providing for Inclusion in the Code; and Providing for an Effective Date. Action: Citv Clerk Hines read the title. and Planning and Zoning Administrator Claudia Hasbun reported. This Ordinance permits an elevated bridge up to 35 feet from the ground to connect condominium towers on the same property for the purpose of sharing amenities. Public Speakers: None Mayor Scholl explained that every once in a while we have nuances in our Code that favors a particular property. In some cases if you own two lots you get special treatment but if you own a lot that is beside the two lots you get penalized because of the way the Code is written. This is one of those instances where we have an ordinance that says; as with Acqualina, you can build a bridge between two towers if you own the adjacent lots. We have an instance coming up where we have a developer who owns a lot and he is going to build two towers but he can't put a bridge between the two towers. It doesn't make a lot of sense to make him have to do a lot split just to be able to build a bridge to meet our Code. Commissioner Aelion said if we have a situation where a developer wants to modify an existing approved site, and Ms. Hasbun said if they want to modify the bridge, the height has to meet Code requirements. Commissioner Aelion moved and Vice Mayor Gatto seconded a motion to approve the proposed Ordinance on first reading. The motion was approved by a roll call vote of 5 -0 in favor. Second reading, public hearing will be held on Thursday, October 15, 2015, at 6:30 p.m. Vote: Commissioner Aelion ves Commissioner Goldman ves Commissioner Levin ves Vice Mayor Gatto ves Mayor Scholl ves Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 17, 2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 8.

This will make any office that is less than 5.000 square feet to provide a loading area within their property. Public Speakers: None Commissioner Levin asked why subparagraph (e) was deleted, and Ms. Hasbun said that was to make it consistent, if you have a commercial building then you would not have to add that. Vice Mayor Gatto said she really likes this Ordinance. and she thanked Commissioner Aelion for spearheading it. Mayor Scholl said we had an issue with trucks stopping on Collins Avenue and other streets to load and unload, which has been a constant problem for us. Commissioner Aelion said he gives a lot of credit to our Code Enforcement Officers. Commissioner Aelion moved and Vice Mayor Gatto seconded a motion to approve the Ordinance on second reading.

She noted that a revised Ordinance was distributed as the 31) Model was removed at first reading. Public Speakers: None Commissioner Aelion asked about the TDRs. Mayor Scholl said right now the model was only required to demonstrate what it looks like with and without the extra density or height. He thinks when we go back to the 3D Model, he would like to see the adjacent massing because that matters, it is relative to its neighbors. We need to come up with tight language that gives us the ability to have a perspective on what is being presented. Ms. Hasbun said then that we would have that ordinance at a later time, and Mayor Scholl said yes. He thinks what we are saying is that we don't feel like we are getting a clear enough viewpoint relative to the neighbors as far as the modeling is concerned. Commissioner Aelion moved and Vice Mayor Gatto seconded a motion to approve the Ordinance on second reading as amended. Ordinance No. 2015 -460 was adopted by a roll call vote of 5 -0 in favor. Vote: Commissioner Aelion yes Commissioner Goldman ves Commissioner Levin ves Vice Mayor Gatto ves Mavor Scholl ves Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 17, 2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida I OA. A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida; Requesting a Revision to the Declaration of Restrictions to Modify the Limitation on Daycare Uses on the Property Located at 17395 North Bay Road, Subject to Certain Conditions; Attached Hereto as Exhibit "A": Providing the City Manager and the City Attorney with the Authority to Do All Things Necessary to Effectuate this Resolution; Providing for an Effective Date. Action: City Clerk Hines read the title. and Planning & Zoning Administrator Claudia Hasbun reported this is a request from the Applicant, Sunny Isles Daycare Corp., to modifi, a recorded Declaration of Restrictions for the property located at 17395 North Bay Road. The request is to permit the extension of an approved daycare. This Declaration is required to be modified prior to the Application being heard for Hearing 4PZ2015 -01 [Item 6A]. This resolution may be approved or denied by the Commission. Public Speakers: Stanley Price, Esq. Stanley Price, Esq., representing Sunny Isles Daycare, said just so he understands, this is going to be conducted as a legislative matter, and City Attorney Ottinot said yes. Mr. Price said for the record that he is stating an objection but that they will continue. In 1995 he was asked by some community activists including David Samson to meet and discuss the possible creation of a city of Sunny Isles Beach. He had the privilege of working on the first Charter for this City along with his partner Lynn Dannheisser, Esq., who ultimately became the City's first City Attorney. At the time of the creation there was a vision by the founders as to what this city is going to look like. The demographics of the city were completely different in 1995, and the creation of the City in 1997 than it is less than 20 years later. There was more of an elderly population here, there were very few young children, in fact at that time there were approximately 270 children under the age of five (5) years old. The City felt it was important to take advantage of the oceanfront. and determined that is where most of their density was going to be placed within the City. They also took care in regard to commercial space but they found a major lapse in recreational areas for the City. Mr. Price said what the City has done in the past 18 years is dramatic. It has become a model of what a Park system should be, there is a linear Park almost all the way on the south of 15 ,d to Haulover, and there is park land, Samson Park and the like throughout the City, and that was the vision of the City. As we evolved the City got younger, the last census was in 2010, there were about 100 children under the age of five (5) years old in this City. You had a five -fold increase from the 1990 census. The City reacted that there was a lack of educational facilities to serve the needs of the people in this City, and so they created a school which had become not only utilized but over utilized. That has now 'caused the Commission to reconsider, and on your agenda this evening there is an item to approve an architectural contract for close to $2.2 Million to build another facility adjacent to this property on one acre of land with 550 students programed for that facility. Mr. Price said that they have been in this process now for almost a year. What they are asking for tonight is for the Commission to release a Covenant of record which is authorized by the terms of the Covenant that may be amended by a majority vote of this Commission. They are asking because there is a need in this City, just as there is a need for Parks, schools, Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 17, 2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida and for daycare. Today we have an economy that requires in many instances both parents to be employed, and they need a place for their children to be watched. There are also a lot of single parent families in this community who work and needs a place for their children to be watched. This is the only daycare facility in the City of Sunny Isles Beach, as there are limited areas in which daycare can be created. This is an ideal location for a daycare, it is internal to major roadways, and it is serving existing student population of 25 which was approved by this Commission. When this was approved, they had originally asked for more students but the Commission said to try 25 and if they were successful and operating properly, to come back and ask for additional students; no guarantees. This property is a rwo -story retail office space. Traditionally the second floor of this building has been occupied by people of the medical profession. Their Traffic Stud}, which was submitted as part of their hearing indicated that the traffic caused by this use, is less than if this was 100% leased on the second floor for medical offices. Unlike schools, daycare centers do not have a time of starting and a time of ending, it is based upon the schedule of their parents. The younger children, the 3 to 18 months, are basically there for a couple of hours in the morning, and some are there for a couple of hours in the afternoon. And so there is no one time of loading and unloading students from this property. They believe because of the geographic location of this City where it has basically two major roadways, 163rd Street and A 1 A. there is no other sound place for a facility of this type to be placed in the City that has the necessary buffering away from the major traffic areas. What they have asked for today is consideration, the second floor has become available and the}, would like to put in an additional 65 children. There will not be 90 kids there at the same time as the schedule varies throughout the day. Mr. Price said they believe this is consistent with the way this Commission has acted over the last 18 years, when there is a community, need, this Commission provides for that need. He has heard arguments that this is going to create more traffic in this immediate area. He thinks the Traffic Report belies that but more importantly, of the 25 children enrolled in this facility today, 18 live at Winston Towers, 6 others lives within the City, and one is the child of a parent who works in Sunny Isles Beach. They would like the Commission's consideration to remove the restriction. They have a small retail space on the first floor, they have the necessary required open space even though they are asking for a variance. There is a provision in the Statutes that the daycare centers, if designated as an urban area, and he noted that the City is using the same argument that you don't have to provide the necessary open space for your new school for three (3) grades. You are also going to be filing an application for an urban community and that is quite common in South Florida, they are asking for the same consideration. There is a dramatic need in this community for parents who work, for a place to place their young children. In a relatively short period of time you are going to be hearing requests to provide senior daycare facilities which is also a need in the South Florida area. They believe this is a reasonable request, they would like to get the Commission's support so they can go fonvard with their zoning application, and indicate why they believe the zoning application provides a relevant basis for approval by this Commission. Mayor Scholl said procedurally, what we are doing is modifying the restriction that was placed on the property when we approved it. This has nothing to do with the legacy restriction on that particular parcel, this has to do with the restriction that the Commission placed on the property several years ago when the daycare was first approved. Just about 8 Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 17, 2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida everything that goes on that property has to be approved by virtue of how the original restriction is crafted, and City Attorney Ottinot said that is correct. Commissioner Aelion said so the addition that was allowed from 6 to 25 is inclusive of this Declaration of Restrictions or was it something that was superseded afterwards? City Attorney Ottinot said the proffer was made by them. Ms. Hasbun said when the shopping center was built, as you know the location of the shopping center is in a residential area. and so the County provided a Declaration of Restriction in 1979 that they were allowed certain businesses at that location without the need of going back to the Commission ever}, time. There are separate restrictions that the services needed to be provided to the Winston Towers residents. In 2011 this business came and the Commission did not approve it. In 2012 they came for the Commission's approval for a daycare center with 25 children, and they were providing outdoor space for that area and they did not meet the criteria for a variance that is required in the Code but they did have some parking spaces dedicated for that business. The Applicant proffered four (4) parking spaces dedicated just for the daycare center, and 4,000 square feet were used for that use only, and so no extension of the daycare center was allowed. They were given the possibility to come back at a later time to ask for an extension. Mayor Scholl saidjust to be clear, we had agreed to 25 children under five (5) years old, and now the Applicant is asking for children up to 12 years old. Ms. Hasbun said right, what happened is the Declaration of Restrictions is regarding pricing and square footage because that Declaration is for the property itself not for their business. Mayor Scholl said the 25 is for the 4,000 square feet, how many square feet will the 65 be in? Ms. Hasbun said they are allowing up to 8,500 square feet which is shared between the is' and 2 "d floors. Mayor Scholl said it is between the two floors and we are doubling the square footage and about 3% based on the number of children, and the age of the children is on a different side. Commissioner Levin said the Resolution provides that the Commission either agrees to modify the Covenant or not modif}, it. She asked what it will say if we agree to modify it, and City Attorney Ottinot said it would be consistent with what Ms. Hasbun said; and it would increase square footage and for kids of different ages as well. Ms. Hasbun said it would have to reflect whatever the request is during their site plan application. Commissioner Levin said then if they agree to modify the Declaration then essentially Nye are agreeing to the application? Ms. Hasbun said no, not necessarily but through the numbers it will carry out. Mayor Scholl said if we don't agree with this then they cannot proceed with the zoning. If we do agree we speed up the zoning application that we have expanded the limitation that is currently on the property. Commissioner Goldman asked to discuss the urban area designation. Ms. Hasbun said the urban designation is basically the children of families, the Department of Children and Families will have to designate it an urban center. One of the requirements of the State is that local governments approve it. It did not happen in the original approval that you gave to the business. Commissioner Goldman said then that they would have to get our approval before they apply for it. What has the Applicant done in terms of getting that because of the requirement about outdoor space. Mr. Price said that the Department of Children and Families will not process Summm Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 17, 2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida that request until the local government has authorized the use. We have no difficulty agreeing to the position that if we don't get the designation then our zoning application is not approved. But we are not permitted to request the relief until local government has acted. We have no problem making a condition to give priority to the people in Sunny Isles Beach. Vice Mayor Gatto said then that we are talking about 90 children, do you know how many will be from Winston Towers; is there a waiting list? Mr. Price said they do have a waiting list and he gave the list to Vice Mayor Gatto. She asked if they are strictly Sunny Isles Beach kids or are they from outside the City; and Mr. Price said he does not know but the reality of it is that many Sunny Isles Beach children go to daycare outside of Sunny Isles Beach based on where their parents work. Vice Mayor Gatto said she understands that butjust because there is a need, it doesn't mean that it has to be at that location. It is a location that is very difficult for that area right now. Mr. Price said that the Legislature felt that there was such an important need for daycare that they passed a statutory, and Vice Mayor Gatto said she is not challenging the need, she is challenging the location. Mr. Price said there is no other location in the City that works, and Vice Mayor Gatto said Nye have two very large strip malls in the area. She noted that we have a school annex that is going to be built, we have an emergency bridge that is cutting right to the side of the daycare that is going under construction, and the City has wanted to create bike lanes, something that Commissioner Levin has been advocating for months and the only way to map that out was to get it to feed into Collins from 174th Street which is nicknamed the busiest intersection in the City, and so what we are trying to do is reduce traffic at that intersection rather than add to it. There is a hotel that is going up where Wings is, there is a new building with commerce that is going up where Denny's was, all of this together is clearly going to affect 1741^ Street and North Bay Road. The hotel people are going to try to get their bearings and work their way around the back streets of the City. Also, there is a consortium in the City of buildings that are south of 174th Street that will be sending a letter to our State Legislatures asking for a U -turn sign to be permitted if you are going north on Collins and you have to go south because there is no U- turn there. You can be coming into 174th Street making the U -turn and going out and clogging up 174th Street. She thinks that 90 children, even at 45, are walking, they come with their parents, and so 180 people. Her point is that there is a lot going on that she is not sure if his client realizes in terms of that area, or at least have him pay attention as we have been discussing 1741h Street and Collins Avenue as far back as October or November in every single Commission meeting there has been an issue. Mr. Price said there is no question that this City is geographically challenged, you have only a few ways in and out of this peninsula, and he understands that. Yet at the same time, he thinks that it would be a lacking of reality to believe that if this school doesn't go there that the parents who need daycare center are not going to get into their car at the same time of the day, and Vice Mayor Gatto said that you don't know that. Mr. Price said then that you suspect that these kids now stay at home. and Mayor Scholl said yes, that some are staying home now. Mr. Price said you are correct but when you have a five -fold increase in the amount of population of children five years old, there is a certain percentage that is going to go to daycare. You are putting 550 kids three blocks north of here on less than one acre, and Vice Mayor Gatto said there is a big difference between a school and a daycare center in infrastructure and the body of the school, it is apples to oranges. It can be done somewhere else in the City. Mr. Price said then would you agree that all the commercial space in the E Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 17, 2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida City is on the west side of A 1 A and wherever he goes to a shopping center, he will be facing the same arguments. Tomorrow he could put a travel agent in there and he can suggest that there would be a far worse impact on that space. He cannot argue that there will be a traffic issue here because it is not a winning argument. Mayor Scholl said first of all the school has a different intensity level because we dedicate a lot of officers, safety resources to the school in the morning and in the afternoon. Chief Maas said there are nine (9) officers there now. Mayor Scholl said the difference is the intensity around the school is backstopped by the City and so he doesn't think you can compare the two. What Vice Mayor Gatto is saying is the intensity in that residential neighborhood, and it has always been a very controversial issue because the first time it came up, we voted it down, and the second time they saw it was for 25 kids and it was approved. Now we are a 3%2 vote on the kids and double on the space, in a neighborhood, and he believes those deed restrictions were put there for a reason because they didn't want the intensii}v in the neighborhood. But there are alternatives, most of the strip malls are two - stories. It does create traffic issues but the commercial centers are built for traffic, they are not in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Commissioner Aelion said originally when the complex of this commercial center was built exclusively for the benefit of Winston Towers. You are asking to go from 1/6 retail space on the whole allowed of the complex to 1 /3. Secondly you are also asking for a zero variance in outside space which is required for occupied inside capacity of children on the second floor. As to the Mayor's point, it is precisely where you seek an alternative, since you are asking for zero variance of outside space, the venue to facilitate and to basically eliminate that whether the argument is for or against, whether it is traffic or not, it is for the same entity to provide daycare and everybody knows that a second floor of most of the RK Plaza is 1 /3 to %2 empty, and so that is the venue that should be sought in order to expand. Nobody said that they shouldn't get the necessary increase as mentioned about people staying home. The more important point, when you are seeking the application of 1/3 of the total retail space, you are in essence handicapping any future potential varied use of the initial intent of the whole complex, and by strangling this potential future use of the space, it should not be done. Mr. Price said no matter where he goes on the second floor, he is going to be asking for 0 variance of outdoor space because that is the nature of this. Traditionally that shopping area has not been used for the purposes that you described. There is a Temple there that does not restrict its membership to residents of Sunny Isles Beach, there was a bank on that property that does not restrict the customers of Sunny Isles Beach, and a school or daycare is usually placed in the center of a residential area. Commissioner Action said that is not true because doctor offices have come in and out, sometimes they have occupied half to almost a whole space, with dental services, doctor services, paralegal services, etc. If you look at the history you will see that he is correct. Mr. Price said he has made his presentation and he thanked the Commission for listening. Commissioner Levin said she really understands the need for daycare in the City, she does agree that it is not the right place to have it. Kids need to be able to run around and play, and exercise. and she understands that they are not asking for a variance on that. There is no way for traffic to go through the parking lot and so cars go in, and if they go in the wrong way Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 17, 2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida they have to back out. With the addition of the bridge with more kids coming across the bridge, if you are backing up there is more room for accidents in the parking lot and there is a safety issue associated with it too. Vice Mayor Gatto said that 90 kids is about the equivalent of five (5) classrooms in our K -8 School. She knows you are talking about retail and banking and we need some deli there but we are talking about kids here, it is a whole different ballgame. There is no question that Chief Maas will have to assign at taxpayer's dollars another officer to manage that because there are going to be kids coming in and out of there all the time. She thinks it is a bigger thing than Mr. Price's client thinks it is. Mr. Price said he appreciates her viewpoint and he understands it but he has had similar applications where one of the conditions was that the applicant provide security or patrol cars at the time of peak hours. City Attorney Ottinot clarified that it should be a motion to deny the request or approve the request. If the request is denied, the Zoning matter will be withdrawrt based on this recommendation. Commissioner Aelion moved and Vice Mayor Gatto seconded a motion to approve the resolution, denying the request. Resolution No. 2015 -2451 was adopted by a voice vote of 5 -0 in favor of denying the request. Item 6A was withdrawn. 1013.

Action: City Clerk Hines read the title. and Building Official Clayton L. Parker reported noting that the last addition to this was in 2012. By adopting the 2015 Miami -Dade County Local Mitigation Strategy the City will obtain the required credit for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) recertification process. This allows us to work with the other cities of Miami -Dade County in the event of an emergency. We work together and coordinate our efforts toward damage assessment and other issues. We were admitted into the CRS Program in 2007 and at that time we were Classification 8 which gave our citizens a 10% reduction on their flood insurance. In 2012 we were able to upgrade to a 7 which gave us a 15% reduction. Public Speakers: None Commissioner Aelion asked if this is strictly about insurance premiums paid collectively or is there something else about strategic use? Mr. Parker said it is a combination of a lot of things. Commissioner Aelion said he is a little bit concerned because the City has in a very responsible way, amassed $17 -19 Million for emergency services, etc. and he does not think that should be considered as a tool or a venue for any mitigated use. City Manager Russo said no, it also assists us in and helps qualify us for grant funding. Commissioner Aelion said as long as our Reserves are not touched, and Mayor Scholl said we are not compromising anything. Commissioner Aelion asked that the language clearly states that. Commissioner Aelion moved and Vice Mayor Gatto seconded a motion to approve the resolution.

Mayor Scholl asked when the playground will be open, and she said we are going through final inspection right now for the playground equipment and a contract was just executed for the fence installation. Commissioner Levin said as a reminder that this is the playground that Nye got $150,000 from the Dezers for. Commissioner Aelion asked about the drainage system change order, he understands about the collapse of the seawall but why wasn't the drainage system looked at by the engineers? City Manager Russo said it was looked at and two significant deep wells were put in at that Park. We had to do some additional work, and Ms. Linton - Dorsett said the grade up system there was specifically for the playground and was intentionally left out from the original contract because of the ongoing work we anticipated in the playground. It was an add - altemate. City Manager Russo said we have one other minor item that is connected to this vendor. Cultural and Community Services Director Susan Simpson said having this company in the City, they gave us a wonderful quote of $1,500 to reinstall the two shade covers at Skate Park that we took down for the potential hurricane.

MOTIONS Alone 12. DISCUSSION ITEMS 12A. A Discussion regarding a Future Rental Program for the Performance Stage at Gateway Park. Action: Commissioner Levin said when we had our recent Budget Workshop the Mayor had mentioned the potential to possibly lease Gateway Park and the stage at Gateway Park to outside event holders, and the City would obviously cam revenue from it. Other than that there has not been a discussion. If we decide that we are going to do that than the Commission will need to meet and adopt a policy. She would like to reach out to the community and ask people for their comments and suggestions. Mayor Scholl said he thinks it is a staff - driven issue, we are giving the staff our philosophical guidance saying that we can augment all our cultural events by opening to outsiders. The idea is we have a more robust than we need there with the parking garage, a professional stage. etc. As opposed to Cultural and Community Services Director Susan Simpson having to produce everything the City does going forward, if an outside company comes along and 17 Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting September 17, 2015 City or Sunny Isles Beach. Florida says we want a show there and we feel it meets criteria that makes sense to us, he thinks we can open up that venue for them to put on that show. That is basically the idea. The idea of having that venue and the quality of the venue that we built there is for that reason. Commissioner Levin said she has not heard a discussion about leasing Gateway Park and she subsequently spoke to the City Manager and then to the City Attorney about it and they both said that the Commission would have to adopt a policy. Mayor Scholl said that the policy is a staff - driven issue, they would draft it and bring it before the Commission. Given that we are working on a Cultural Master Plan, we are going to look at venues that fit with the nature and the tenor of the things that we are trying to start in the City. But from his perspective, we can't produce everything that the City does for our residents. We want to keep expanding our cultural offerings and we have a great free - standing self - sufficient venue. Commissioner Levin said that the City Manager had suggested that we get an ordinance or a policy from another jurisdiction and she thinks it is important that we get one from a jurisdiction where they have an outside venue versus an indoor venue because there are different things to consider when it is outside. Commissioner Aelion said Gateway Park will be the first staging park for a venue for events and so forth. Being that the City is already 17 years old and has had ample experience with Heritage Park and Samson Oceanfront Park, he looks at Gateway Park as an added venue. He agrees with the Mayor in this case that it has to be looked at by staff. Staff will have to do the legwork and then come to the Commission with any proposals. Commissioner Levin said she understands that obviously we have been doing this for a while but the size of Gateway Park, the potential traffic, and the additional people that will be coming to the venue because it is so large. She has been thinking about it and this particular issue which is associated with it. Mayor Scholl said when the time comes we will talk about it but he thinks it is a little premature because we are not out soliciting anybody or have any scheduled. The point being that it is a perfect venue from the ingress and egress standpoint because the garage is by the bridge, you can exit west or east, and you can get out of the City pretty easy without going through the City. 13. CITIZENS' FORUM: REQUESTS, PETITIONS & OTHER COMMUNICATIONS 13A. Caroline Mathews said she has a couple of issues. Her first issue is that on Atlantic Boulevard on the sidewalk in front of the school there is a water meter metal plate which is not locked down. and so when the children are riding their scooters or bikes, or people are walking, occasionally they hit it just right and the big metal plate slaps into their ank=le or into the scooter, and down they go. All the plates on that well- traveled sidewalk have to be locked down. Mayor Scholl said it is probably a utility but we will look at it. Ms. Mathews said also. in Town Center Park the awning over the children's playground has been taken down for the hurricane. Is that the same as on tonight's agenda, and Cultural and Community Services Director Susan Simpson said no, that is a different project, it is an improvement. We received permission about a year ago to raise the roof of the awning 18 Summa ,Minutes: Reeular City Commission hfeetins September 17, 2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida because it is too low for that playground and so it requires an additional roof be made and attached and raised. The fabric came down because of the storm but it was in terrible condition and so it didn't go back up. We went ahead and had them take down the frame structure so they can work on it remotely and bring it back. Mayor Scholl asked when that will be done. and Capital Projects Manager Elka Linton - Dorsett said we don't have a timeframe on that yet. A large component of that will be the finish, the type of paint they use will determine the timeframe but it will take a few weeks to complete that. Ms. Mathews said in Town Center Park on the north end of the circle of the roadway, it is never used and nobody ever goes back there. Children are not allowed to ride their bicycles or their scooters, and she is not talking about the kids who are school aged, she is talking about the under five years old set. Every time there is a tricycle or tiny scooter there, personnel come running and say you are not allowed to use this area. There is nobody in the Park, and it is not okay. In that whole northern section you should have a sign that says you can ride your bike or scooters in this area at different times of the day when it is not so crowded with school children. Mayor Scholl asked Ms. Simpson to look at it. Ms. Mathews said the last thing is. we really need to fill the soap dispenser in Government Center. Commissioner Aelion said that they actually fill it up every morning but unfortunately when people come in from outside on a daily basis they abuse it and empty it within the hour or two. It is a problem. 13B. Alex Kushnir said he is a resident at Winston Towers, and before the election you all come and see the people, and then after the election, he does not see any town meetings. He doesn't see any politicians to come and to talk to the people on what is going on. We need a compliance committee in this City, it is accountability. It is a matter of squelch. He is complaining about all the permits needed here. For eight years he has been asking for a tennis center, and no one does anything about it. If you see a violation you need to stop it and a compliance committee is the way to go. Mayor Scholl noted that he has an appointment with Mr. Kushnir next week. 14.
