The minutes were unanimously approved. Mr. Eligha Lewis, III thanked everyone for their kind support during his hour of loss. Discussion on Comprehensive Plan for Central County Mr. Michael Huneke gave a general overview of the state required comprehensive plan for the County and also how the comprehensive plan relates to the CRA plan for Central County, followed by questions and answers. Mr. Lewis expressed a desire for an outside consultant to work on eradicating blighted areas within the community and emphasized that more money is needed to make the desired improvements in Central County. Mr. Henry Sniezek informed the Advisory Board that over the last 10 years the County has spent several million dollars’ worth of improvements in Central County. Mr. Sheldon Riles pointed out that 16 new homes have been built in Central County Community and they are all expected to be sold and occupied by early next year. Mr. Sniezek mentioned that staff is targeting January as the month to present the proposed economic development strategy to the Advisory Board. Ms. Sallie Tillman-Watson suggested money be placed in a CRA for Central County as they are in some cities for the purpose of a Redevelopment Plan. Mr. Sandy-Michael McDonald spoke on the big picture of an economic development strategy for Central County pointing out many redevelopment factors and stated this is expected to be brought before the Advisory Board in January. Update on Code Enforcement Activities Mr. Huneke gave a brief presentation on Code Enforcement areas of priority using maps created for the illustration. Lieutenant Pisanti explained the color codes on the maps and reported on the ongoing progress in Central County Community made by BSO. Ms. Tillman-Watson asked if the new renting program has begun. Mr. Gerald Henry answered that it has and gave a brief explanation of the process by which this program works.

The motion was unanimously approved. The next meeting will be held on January 15, 2014. Mr. Sniezek suggested this is a good time to mention those items the Advisory Board wishes to see on the next meeting’s agenda beginning with the proposed economic development strategy discussed earlier. Reverend Jesse Scipio suggested that traffic and speed bumps are agenda items at a future meeting. Ms. Tillman-Watson suggested that street lighting be included as a future agenda item.

SUBJECT: Advisory Board Ccimmunication Policy

This memorandum addresses the issue of communications between Advisory Boards, the Board of County Commissioners, and other entities. The "Broward County Board's Policies" outlines specific protocols for communicating recommendations for action or consideration by the County Commission. This protocol is outlined below (direct language from the advisory board policy is identified in quotations):

Section A - Issues for Action by the County Commission

• "A majority of the board's members present at the meeting must vote affirmatively to send an issue to the County Commission for consideration, information, or action. " In addition, subcommittees must obtain full advisory board action before sending an issue to the County Commission for consideration.

• "The assigned board coordinator communicates the request of tile advisory board, either through resolution from the advisory board or via a transmittal letter signed by the Cl1air of the advisory board to the Mayor and members of the Browatd County Commission. A copy of the communication should be provided to County Administration, Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and Professional Standards, and Department/Division/Office management as applicable." Advisory board members should refrain from communicating advisory board recommendations, issues for consideration , information or action - directly to the Board of County Commissioners or County Administration - prior to an advisory board vote on such matters.

• "The Board of County Commissioners may choose to take action, and if action is taken, the advisory board will be informed, usually throug/1 a letter from the Mayor or County Administrator to the Chair of the advisory board, indicating the action taken. "

This process applies to the majority of our existing advisory boards with the exception of boards with quasijudicial powers. Advisory boards must not take it upon themselves to relay positions to entities outside county government, absent the approval of the Board of County Commissioners. This policy stresses the importance of ensuring communicated requests and recommendations have been discussed and approved by the entire advisory board and not by a single individual.

Should you have any questions, please call the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and Professional Standards at 954-357-7575.

Members present will be marked as attending.

Members who telephone in, will be marked as attending.

Members not present will be marked absent.

Members who intended to telephone in, will be marked absent.

Members, who did not confirm that they were attending, will be marked absent.

Members who confirmed they would be attending will be marked present and it will be noted on the attendance sheet that the meeting was cancelled.

If a meeting is scheduled and sufficient number of members to constitute a quorum CONFIRMED that they will be physically present at the meeting, BUT QUORUM WAS NOT PRESENT AT THE MEETING, THE MEETING WILL BE CANCELLED:

Members present will be marked as attending but it will be noted that the meeting was cancelled.

Members not present will be marked absent.

Members, who telephone in, will be absent.

Members, who did not confirm that they were attending, and attend, will be marked present.
