Sponsored by Commissioner Kelley The above resolution was read by Attorney Brown. Mayor Pigatt opened the floor for a public hearing. There being no persons to speak on the public hearing, the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Commissioner Kelley, seconded by Commissioner Burke for discussion. Commissioner Burke asked why this is coming before the commission now when according to the interlocal agreement, it should be done every year. City Attorney Brown said the financial integrity ordinance was to be followed by the City; it did not have a sunset or a repealer clause, but the City simply stopped following it when it came out of financial oversight in 2003.

There being no persons to speak on the public hearing, the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Commissioner Kelley, seconded by Vice Mayor Davis for discussion. Commissioner Kelley asked how the person(s) responsible will be addressed for causing this to happen. Acting City Manager Daughtrey said they will go to the nearby businesses and pull any recordings that may be available and see if they can identify anyone they can go after to pay for what they have done. Vice Mayor Davis asked the manager if this is a business inside or outside of the City. Acting City Manager Daughtrey said they do not know who dumped the oil. Mayor Pigatt said this is infuriating to have someone come and do this; this does not happen in other cities, only in Opa-locka. He asked if an investigation was done for catching the people who did this. Acting City Manager Daughtrey said he went with the Chief of Police, the Public Works Director and a few others to assess the damages. It is a shame what is going on and they are doing what needs to be done to resolve the matter. Commissioner Burke said back in that area is very dark and unless some cameras can be put up back there, they will come back again and try to get away with it once more. Vice Mayor Davis asked if there was any kind of way to shift the blame to the local business owners because he finds it hard to believe that outsiders did this. Also, if the burden can be placed on DERM to determine who did this. Mayor Pigatt said the people that are being paid with tax dollars should make sure things like this never happens and they expect for the same thing to happen in Opa-locka. There being no further discussion, the motion on the resolution passed by a 5-0 vote. Commissioner Burke Yes Vice Mayor Davis Yes Commissioner Kelley Yes Commissioner Bass Yes Mayor Pigatt Yes 15.

Commissioner Kelley said he does not support the item at this time because he does not think it should be open to certain people. Mayor Pigatt said he thinks it is a good idea and proposed that an amendment be made to Section 2(i) to maintain four residents on the board and the three others can fall under architect, landscape architect, engineer, real estate professional, or property owner and that would make the residents the majority.

Vice Mayor Davis said he does not have a problem with having professionals serve on advisory boards because they can bring their ideas and expertise to the table; any final decision would come before the commission for approval.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: Acting City Manager Daughtrey said there has been a lot of milling going on in the City in the residential areas and they are tackling a lot of the potholes. The utility billing system should be complete and turned over to the county by June 30, 2019. The City continues to meet with the residents every third Saturday and are able to sit down with the residents and explain the bills and give the residents time to pay the bills. Commissioner Burke asked what was going on with his project"Music in the Park". Acting City Manager Daughtrey said special events insurance needs to be purchased in order for the event to take place and this is not included in the budget. He asked the Parks and Recreation Director to work on including it in his department's budget for the next fiscal year. There is currently three thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500.00) in the budget for this event, but the whole thing will cost around seventeen thousand dollars ($17,000.00). Additional monies will need to be raised and the insurance needs to be purchased. Commissioner Kelley said he is glad that funds have been released to continue with the infrastructure projects.

Mayor Pigatt said he would like for the City to be in compliance with submitting the five year recovery plan and the budget so they are covered and the officials not be in a position to be removed from office.
