for their Extraordinary Effort in Producing the City's 15th Anniversary Commemorative
Book Entitled "A Source of Community Pride: The Architecture of Sunny Isles Beach ".

a report of last week's 15th Anniversary activities, and she said that Sunday, June 17, 2012
marked the 15th Anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Sunny Isles Beach and to
honor this special occasion the City hosted several events throughout the anniversary week
and she gave a brief overview of those_ festivities. It began on Sunday_, June 10, 2012 with
the International Olympics at Pelican Community Park. A weeklong Scavenger Hunt led
teams to a variety of City Landmarks to solve the word puzzle "A World Class City ". "A
Source of Community Pride: The Architecture of Sunny Isles Beach" is the exquisite hard
cover book that pays tribute to the monumental buildings that transforms this world class
City in the past 15 years. It was unveiled with an official Book Signing Ceremony on
Tuesday, June 12, 2012 and the author Ellen J. Uguccioni is here tonight. The book is on
sale at the Visitors Center. On Thursday, June 14, 2012 in cooperation with the Senior
Action Committee, the History of Incorporation came to life with a panel discussion on the
efforts of great civic leaders who gave birth to the City with a special thank you to Dennis
Stubbolo and David Gartner, and to the panelists, Mayor Edelcup, Senator Gwen Margolis,
Susan Fried, and former City Commissioners Roslyn Brezin and Danny Iglesias. After
looking into the past, the City looked to the future with the Groundbreaking of Gateway
Park. The signature park is the final piece of the Commission's green initiative which
provides a park within walking distance of every resident. On Saturday, June 16, 2012 was
the Taste of Sunny Isles Beach at Heritage Park with several restaurants offering sample size
portions of their gourmet menu while FIU Ensemble Band performed on stage. All this led
up to Sunday, June 17, 2012 at Samson Oceanfront Park with a traditional barbeque marking
the official anniversary with a cake cutting ceremony and the extraordinary sounds of Nicole
Henry. These highlights will be broadcast on SIBTV Channel 77. The week was very
successful and it was a team effort. Ms. Simpson read into the record the names of
employees and volunteers involved in this weeklong celebration. Mayor Edelcup thanked
Ms. Simpson who without her help, none of this would have happened. He also noted at the

Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission_Meeting June 21, 2012 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida
10H. A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Regarding
the Application for Temporary Use of Food Truck Service at Sole Condominium/Hotel
Located at 17315 Collins Avenue; Providing for an Effective Date.
Action: [City Clerk's Note: A revised cover memo was distributed prior to the meeting. ] City
Clerk Hines read the title, and Assistant City Manager /Community Development Sharon
Ragoonan reported that the applicant is requesting time to October 2012 and staff is
recommending one month and that they are required to pull permits to ensure they have the
proper service connection for the food truck.
Public Speakers: Robin Hess
Robin Hess of Sole said the food truck is used as a mobile catering truck and is a temporary
use until the kitchen is completed and they can open up a restaurant there. They have a
contract to have a celebrity chef open the restaurant who is also associated with the food
truck. The chef is Ralph Pergatti who is associated with Gulfstream. The truck is not open,
not detailed and is not blocking anything. No one can walk up to the window and buy
anything, it is just catering to the hotel where their servers take the order, give it to the truck.
The truck prepares the food, and the server delivers it and charges it to their room. Ms. Hess
said it is going to take 90 days for the kitchen to be complete and so they are asking for the
90 days to allow the truck to be there and then it will be gone. They have already applied for
the permits. Mayor Edelcup asked where on the property the truck would be located. Ms.
Hess said it will be on the north side of the building in the back on the third level which is
half in the garage and half out because the top doesn't fit under it. Ms. Hess handed out a
site plan.
Vice Mayor Thaler asked how they are covered by the health inspections for the truck, given
that it is portable instead of a permanent installation. Ms. Hess said the truck is licensed
through the Board of Health State of Florida. She added it is also well known as it has won
awards for the top hamburger in the City of Miami, and is also inspected by the State of
Florida. They are also applying for the tax receipt and the certificate of use in Sunny Isles
Beach. The kitchen build out will take three months. Commissioner Aelion said in the event
that you don't finish the kitchen in 90 days you will come back and ask us for an extension?
Mayor Edelcup said what passes tonight will determine that, and reiterated they asked for 90
days and staff is recommending 30 days. City Attorney Ottinot said that after the workshop,
the recommendation was amended to 90 days.
Commissioner Scholl said it is fairly unobtrusive in the back but why the sense of urgency
now when you haven't had a restaurant there in a long time? Ms. Hess said that they have
always used outside caterers and now cannot handle the amount of business that Sole does.
She further stated they do not want to drop that amenity to their guests as they are No. 2 in
the City overall in Trip Advisor, and they are No. 1 in Trendy Hotels in Sunny Isles Beach
and do not want to lose any standing on that. Mayor Edelcup asked if they have their
contract in place now for the kitchen, or are they still negotiating? Ms. Hess said the contract
is in place with Chef Pergatti. Mayor Edelcup said he wanted to make sure it was in place
because he doesn't want them coming back for an extension and we don't want to set an
example of having a food truck providing for food service in the City instead of regular
kitchens. Mayor Edelcup said he is feeling cautious about making sure that it is done within
Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting June 21, 2012 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida
their timeframe.
Commissioner Scholl said because it is out of the way, he would probably make the
recommendation to approve it just because of the nature of the way that they have it situated.
Commissioner Scholl further stated that for the record, if it was in the public eye in any
meaningful way, then it would not get approved because clearly we can't have everybody
coming in wanting food trucks parked in front of their buildings. On that basis, he would
make a motion to approve for 90 days with the caveat that it stays on the location that is
described on the site plan, and cannot be parked anywhere else. City Attorney Ottinot said
that the Resolution will be revised accordingly. Commissioner Aelion asked about electricity
to the truck, and Ms. Hess said the truck is self - contained.
Commissioner Scholl moved and Vice Mayor Thaler seconded a motion to approve the
resolution, as amended. Resolution No. 2012 -1917 was adopted by a voice vote of 5 -0 in
favor.
10I. A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Supporting
the Central Everglades Planning Project for the Restoration of the Central Everglades;
Authorizing the City Manager to Do All Things Necessary to Effectuate this Resolution;
Providing for an Effective Date.
Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and Mayor Edelcup reported.

resolution. Resolution No. 2012 -1918 was adopted by a voice vote of 5 -0 in favor.
10J. A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Authorizing
the Submission of a Grant Application to the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs
Cultural Facilities Program Requesting $500,000.00 for the Pelican Community Park
Expansion Project, and Further Authorizing an Amount of $1 Million as the City's
Required Matching Funds; Authorizing the City Manager to Do All Things to Effectuate
this Resolution; Providing for an Effective Date.
Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and Assistant City Manager /Finance Shah reported
that the grant expenditures must occur after July 1, 2013, and the City is required to match $1
Million. The grant does allow for the City to have a look back period where the City can
look back five years from the grant application date to use those funds for that respective
project and use it as a match. Since Pelican Community Park was actually built less than five
years ago, we are able to use those funds to match for the expansion.
Public Speakers: None
Commissioner Scholl moved and Commissioner Aelion seconded a motion to approve the
resolution. Resolution No. 2012 -1919 was adopted by a voice vote of 5 -0 in favor.

10M. A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Expressing
Support for the Establishment of a Unique Zip Code for the City of Sunny Isles Beach;
Authorizing the City Manager to Do All Things Necessary to Effectuate this Resolution;
Providing for an Effective Date.
Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and Vice Mayor Thaler reported that in 2007 he had
tried to get the City's own zip code, and we had very little response from the residents. Since
2007 the City has not only grown but most people now realize that unless we get our own zip
code we will always be known as North Miami Beach. We are making an effort to go back
and try to get our own zip code for Sunny Isles Beach. He introduced Jennifer Levin who
has been put in charge of doing the legwork for getting us a zip code.
Public Speakers: Jennifer Levin
Jennifer Levin said she is the Chairperson of the Special Projects Subcommittee of the City
Advisory Committee. The resurrection of the effort to gain a new zip code for the City was
9
Summary- Minutes =Regular -City- Commission- Meeting ,Tune -21, 2412 Cityo£Sunny- Isles- Beach,Florida
recently advised. Her Subcommittee has been conducting some research in preparation for
making the request to the Post Office. Although the Post Office must address its internal
operations, based upon a 2006 Congressional Research Service Report prepared for Congress
by Nigh Stevens concerning the change of zip code boundaries, the Post Office should give
careful objective consideration to community wishes even if they are based only on identity
concerns. This Congressional Research Report also stated that zip codes misalign with
municipal boundaries can cause higher insurance rates, confusion over voter registration,
misdirected property and sales tax revenues for municipalities and diminishment of housing
values because a shared zip code places a municipality in a less prestigious community.
Community identity is also robbed. Further problems include misdirection of jury duty
notices and emergency services. Particularly as to Sunny Isles Beach, mail is miss - delivered
because we do not have direction such as northeast, southeast, etc. in our street addresses and
it is inconvenient to retrieve mail from the North Miami Beach Post Office. Based upon the
foregoing and for other reasons which may not yet be clear, and the fact that there are no
known substantial reasons why acquiring a unique zip code may be detrimental, it is in the
interest of the City to pursue the branding of its unique identity and proceed with the
application.
Commissioner Aelion recognized the effort of Ms. Levin. Commissioner Scholl said the
only issue that he would have is that they will lump us with Golden Beach. Vice Mayor
Thaler said that he has spoken to the Commission at Golden Beach and they are having a
meeting tonight. Commissioner Scholl said he doubts that the Post Office would carve us
out and leave Golden Beach with a zip code that is not contiguous. Commissioner Scholl
added that his only concern would be when the computers worldwide get updated and you
punch in 33160, it doesn't say Golden Beach, they are going to have the same problem that
we are going to have, because what happens is there are these data bases that self populate
the city field based on when you punch a zip code in. Mayor Edelcup said it is not for us to
determine what they do in Golden Beach, and that we apply for Sunny Isles Beach in hopes
that the zip code they assign is strictly for us.
Vice Mayor Thaler moved and Commissioner Scholl seconded a motion to approve the
resolution. Resolution No. 2012 -1922 was adopted by a voice vote of 5 -0 in favor.
ION. A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Approving
