CITIZENS' INPUT: Yvette Phillips, 2171 Wilmington Street, Opa-locka, FL, asked why they are trying to get rid of the manager. He should be given a chance to help the City; it is unethical. The manager should be given a chance. The rats in the alley are also becoming a problem and something needs to be done. She said that the commission needs to do their jobs. Dorothy Johnson, 13724 NW 22°' Place, Opa-locka, FL, said that she noticed a change on the bus benches and does not know where the funds came from for it. She said that all of the pictures on the benches should be the same size because this is not a strong mayor form of government. She said she heard a rumor about Klub 24 and wants to know the update regarding the status of the club. On 24th Avenue and Superior Street there are holes in the ground that can damage vehicles and something needs to be done. There are rats that look like raccoons in the City and it is a health issue. She wrote a letter to FDOT about State Road 9 and she should not have to do the City's job for them. Charles Jackson, 1820 Opa-locka Blvd, Opa-locka, FL, said that his granddaughter is seeking donations to compete in track competitions and anything that anyone can contribute will help. He left flyers with the Office of the City Clerk. Johnnie Mae Green, 2091 Wilmington Street, Opa-locka, FL, said that the railroad tracks on 22nd Avenue are in bad condition and something needs to be done. She has a problem with the item to fire the city manager and wants to know why this item is on the agenda tonight. She also mentioned that the rats are becoming a nuisance; they are walking on the fences and the wires and will cause problems if nothing is done. Alvin Burke, 1240 Jann Avenue, Opa-locka, FL, said that the attorney said that Klub 24 never came before the commission and someone needs to find out how it came to the City. The strip came into the City and no one knows how it got there. Why is the City paying the attorney if he gives legal advice and they do not follow his advice? Brian Dennis, 3135 NW 135th Street, Opa-locka, FL, said that is not a secret how the club came to the City. George Suarez, 1341 Dunad Avenue, Opa-locka, FL, said that the City should not be sold to the highest bidder. Election time is drawing near and the officials should be working to make change. The water bills and the rat situation should be the focus. Yvette Phillips, 2171 Wilmington Street, Opa-locka, FL, told the commission to get up and work for the community. There needs to be stop signs installed in her neighborhood because the cars are speeding through and someone is going to get hurt. Ian Bachekauf, Attorney representing Republic Metals Corporation, said that he comes to every meeting on behalf of his client and wants to know when the Cairo lane project will start. His Regular Commission Meeting Minutes—2/15/2018 3 client is losing business because one wants to come into the area and risk damage to their vehicles. Natasha Ervin, 670 Dunad Avenue, Opa-locka, FL, announced a black history program to be held on February 23, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. at Sherbondy Park. She invited everyone to attend. She said that some of the commission is not conducting themselves the way a commissioner should and it is not a good look; there are no secrets in Opa-locka. Funding should set aside for more parks programs for the youth in the City. Chris Roberts, 940 Sharar Avenue, Opa-locka, FL, said that Frostys is also a strip club and if you are going to call out one club you have to address the other one. Eddie Dean, 3699 NW 135d' Street, Opa-locka, FL, said that they have been trying to open the club for the last three (3) years and it was signed off by management. He keeps hearing everyone ask how it got there when everyone knows what is going on. He does not know what kind of games are being played. Steve Oaks, 12905 NW 32nd Avenue, Opa-locka, FL, said that he is surprised to hear that some on the Commission wants to fire the manager. The building where Klub 24 is had been unoccupied for about eight (8) years and finally a business has opened up and they also have a restaurant next to it which is good for the City. The manager should not be fired. Vice Mayor Kelley asked the manager if he had anything to add to anything that was said. City Manager Brown said that he does not have the authority to shut down the club. He is unsure how this situation fell upon him as he was not here when the business came in to the City. Whoever approved the licenses did it two years ago and that is where it started; it is not his issue, his problem, or his business and he does not have anything else to say about it. Vice Mayor Kelley said that he wanted the manager to address the citizens' issues, not the club. City Manager Brown said that all of the issues raised by the residents will be addressed and announced the telephone number for the City Manager's Office so that anyone can call if they have any concerns. Vice Mayor Kelley asked the manager for an update on any issues that have not been resolved by the next meeting. 12. ACTION ITEMS: 1 (13-1). A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF OPA- LOCKA, FLORIDA, DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO PROVIDE A REPORT ON HOW AN ADULT ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS, KLUB 24, WAS ABLE TO OPEN AND OPERATE IN THE CITY WHEN THE CITY CODE PROHIBITS IT WITHOUT PLANNING COUNCIL AND CITY COMMISSION APPROVAL; PROVIDING FOR INCORPORATION OF RECITALS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Sponsored by City Manager The above resolution was read by Attorney Brown. Regular Commission Meeting Minutes—2/15/2018 4 It was moved by Commissioner Pigatt, seconded by Vice Mayor Kelley for discussion. Commissioner Pigatt said that the manager was given a directive to shut down Klub 24 at the last commission meeting and he wants to know why that has not been done. The club is violating the City's codes and laws and it needs to be shut down. He asked the manager what he had done to shut down the club since he was directed to do so at the last meeting. City Manager Brown said that Commissioner Pigatt wants him to break a law and that should not fall on him. The building official issued a TCO and once that was done, he cannot close it down, it has to run its course. If there are Code Enforcement violations, then yes, but the license has already been issued and it is the commission that has to close it down. This will result in costly litigation to the City,but will not fall on him. Commissioner Pigatt asked the attorney to provide clarity on the item. City Attorney Brown said that the club named itself a restaurant on the fire inspection documents. Had the club named itself a nightclub, then additional inspections would need to be had for the life safety of those who would occupy the building. He is very troubled as to how this came about, but he stands by his memo that gave his legal opinion that the club is not operating legally. Commissioner Pigatt said that the manager is trying to focus on the license and not the validity of how the club came to the City. The Police and Code Enforcement should be there right now shutting it down. City Manager Brown said that he is not authorized to shut down the club. Vice Mayor Kelley said that the item before them is directing the manager to provide a report and he does not mind the discussion, but he is ready to vote. There being no further discussion, the motion on the resolution passed by a 3-1 vote.

Regular Commission Meeting Minutes—2/15/2018 5 It was moved by Commissioner Riley, seconded by Commissioner Pigatt for discussion.

Assistant City Manager William Green said that the item is a part of a project to replace the meters in the City and allow for accurate reads relating to the billing. Commissioner Pigatt asked for further explanation of the item. City Manager Brown said that he has provided the commission with a report that includes and update about the water bills.

Sponsored by City Manager The above resolution was read by Attorney Brown. It was moved by Commissioner Holmes, seconded by Commissioner Riley for discussion. Commissioner Pigatt asked the manager why the commission would vote to authorize this item. City Manager Brown said that this item is a collaboration between the city manager's office, the city attorney's office, and the Florida League of Cities. These are settlement agreements, and if the City wants to avoid costly litigation, then the funds need to be paid.

Commissioner Riley said that this is not the $5,000.00 emergency funds that the manager can use, it is the settlement fund for litigation, and they are two different things. Vice Mayor Kelley asked if$25,000.00 is the threshold, then why would the commission raise it to $75,000.00. City Attorney Brown said it was to avoid delaying the settlements while waiting for approval which can cause further costly litigation.

Mr. Grant's son came before the commission and said that he appreciates the City wanting to name a street after his dad, but his dad would not have been in favor of overshadowing a street named after the president. His dad had respect for the president and if it was another street that would be fine. He does not want that street named after his dad. Jonnie Mae Green, 2161 Wilmington Street, Opa-locka, FL, said that she agrees with Mr. Grant's son. She said that Mr. Grant was a positive influence in the community and should have a street named after him,just not the one being proposed. There being no further persons to speak on the public hearing, the public hearing was closed. This item was deferred by the sponsor. Commissioner Pigatt said that he met Mr. Grant when he first took office. He had requested that supporting documents be provided explaining why a street should be named after a person so that there is an understanding of their accomplishments and why they deserve the acknowledgement. Commissioner Riley said that the president's avenue ran from Sharazad to 151st Street and they only wanted to name from Sharazad to Fisherman Street. Vice Mayor Kelley said that he deferred the item out of respect for the family. City Manager Brown said that he has known the Grant family for years and the City can find another street to name after Mr. Grant. He thanked the family for coming to speak on behalf of their relative. Commissioner Holmes left at 9:40 p.m. 4.
