--------- Good evening everyone. Welcome to our special events workshop um January 28, 2025. The time is now 6 sorry 5:09. Madame clerk, roll call. >> Commissioner Bass >> here. >> Commissioner Irvin
>> here. Vice Mayor Kelly. Commissioner Santiago, Mary Taylor >> here as we stand for our invocation followed by our pledge of allegiance. >> Oh Lord, oh Lord, how excellent our name and all the earth. We come thanking you for all of your many blessings. We come thanking oh God for the grace of
opalaka. Continue to give us wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Do those things which are pleasing in your sight. In Jesus name we do pray. Amen. >> Amen. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right, we're going to go into our agenda items. And the first thing on the agenda is spe Well, we're discussing special events as
well as the special events policy. All right. Does anyone want to Yes, you can stand. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um, I know you had mentioned in your report, but I wanted to have a workshop to discuss
um, our policy and procedures for our events. And I don't know if the manager had an overview she wanted to share, but as we saw the calendar on u last month, there are a lot of things that are happening and we
had had some previous proposed legislation to deal with um co-sponsors and the like and because it had not come back yet either. Um, I wanted to just bring all that to the to the front so
that we could have a discussion on all of those things because what's occurring is we're getting overwhelmed. The staff is getting overwhelmed. We're overwhelmed. And so I think we need to kind of tighten that up in some kind of way that we all could agree on. Um I
don't want to go specific point by event because I know everything that all of us do we feel is critical and important to the city but I do think it's taking a toll on not only staffing but resources and all of us and I'm quite sure it has
some um fiscal impacts as well. Um I would like to um ask my colleague because she actually profered the resolution and um put it on hold. So I don't like to go over anyone's progress.
Um has she is she still working on this legislation or what is her her intent because I thought it was a a good framework to at least have a discussion on the uh sponsorship policy and procedures for activities. And something
else I want to just put out and again that's why it's a workshop. I think we need to look at possibly um again how many events that each of us can hold. I know we had made a determination certain things were commission
oriented where all of us was a part but then we also had our own individual. So I want to hear uh my colleagues thoughts on that and then I have some possible suggestions ideas going forward. So, I'll just open up with that, Mr. Mayor. >> All right, Vice Mayor. Um, which
colleague two feet? >> Well, I'm referring to the one that, uh, Commissioner Bass had profered a while back. >> What's the legislation? >> Uh, it didn't pass. It got tabled. It was a resolution about co-sponsorship policy and procedures for activities and
special events and collaboration with nonprofit organizations. that alone that she uh proposed um I guess back in June. >> Back in June. Madam manager, is it possible that you can have um chief of staff get everybody a copy of that
resolution? It came before us in June. You know the one he's referring to? No, but we still want to see it. We still want to see it. Okay. And I'll give you the floor. Madam Dr. Bad.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um, I think we all should take a look at the policy first. Um, because there's there's a lot of meat in there that honestly that I don't recall right now because it was in June like you said earlier. And I believe
once we put our policies and procedures together, most especially deal with nonforprofit because all of us do um things were born smoother. >> Okay. Um before I anyone else but madam? >> Yeah.
>> So I got you my issue like I stated at the commission meeting I think that we are like you said we are overextending ourselves when it comes down to events. There is a lot on the calendar and even in the one in January it seemed like it was something every day or every other day in January and just like I stated at
the meeting there is a cost associated with it even though we're not necessarily paying for it but we're talking staff time we're talking lights we're talking water we're talking printer um printing so there is a cost associated with it so I also wanted the
commission to take a look at how we do um events how many events we do and we make a decision on tonight. Um, but also, madam manager, and I asked you this before, we need to define the difference between a city event, a commission sponsored event, and a
partnered event because that's what seems to be convoluted in my opinion. So city events we know is events that we do with the it's budgeted events then commission events and stuff our individual initiatives and then I know throughout the year things come up as it
relates to partnerships partnership events. So I just want us to tonight I guess we we could have that discussion as a as a body to define the three. >> Okay. cuz during our budget process that was discussed and each each elected official did say which event was their
sponsored event. >> No, but what does that actually look like? That's what I mean. Okay, >> that that that's what I mean defining that. What does that actually look like? >> So, a city event is a budget event. Uh a sponsorship commission initiative is an initiative, individual initiatives and
partnerships. How does that work? And I know that's what you were dealing with with the nonprofit >> resolution which we're waiting on. So go ahead. >> I'm sorry, >> Mr. Mayor. And also, um, where finances from the outside becomes a part of the Okay.
The >> Help me here, y'all. >> Part of the event when when it's paid for from the outside, >> right? Or or or charges. >> Charges. >> Yeah. >> And I think if I'm not mistaken, and Vice Mayor can help me with this, but I think there's legislation on the books
that speaks to when a nonprofit donates or an organization donates to incon or money to events. I think there's something on the books that speaks to that. >> I'm not aware of it is, but I do know that proposed legislation that Commissioner Baz um sponsored it did
address that. >> I think there's something wrong, but I'm almost certain there's something that speaks to that. Um vice Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um well I'm I'm a little confused and I I'm going to wait for they bring the resolution that we
are presenting in June. Uh it's long time pass and believe me also me I don't even know what what are we talking about uh when we have any event uh be a sponsor for a second person outside that's we calling what are we calling again >> sponsors
>> yeah no for from the people of the from partner >> partners sir >> okay I I do not understand why that we had to bring into this uh workshop that we have for the city event that that's the more important thing that we have tonight also um any other uh event uh uh
one of us you know make one of the commission and be sponsored by us. Um I know that I the big event that I that we do by the level day uh is been sponsorable for private interests
sponsored by me for sure but everybody everybody in that event be paid everybody if he make a mistake madam manager from parking recreation police department uh public war everybody get paid for that event. Yes, that's
>> and that's what I understand if it is be sponsored by us, you have to be paid by us. City event is something else. City event, we have a big budget here this year that I believe myself I don't want to say anything now. Let's let's go you
know later on in the discussion but we have a lot of thing to talk here about the city event. Uh I want to wait for that resolution to see what is the meaning of that because >> okay >> it's totally out of the uh situation that we have here. >> No commissioner um it's not they're all
related. The problem is >> how is related. >> I'll explain what we're facing right now is pretty much the same word said. We're a little burnt out because there is a lot on the calendar and though you say that it's being paid for by outside
entities but that's not always the case. That was a unique situation. But even then, there's still staff that has to work and that's outside of their normal schedule. So there is >> That's good. Okay, this is a good point. Like I know the example about January.
But let's see. Okay. Uh who is the um the commissioner have more events out there and that's the reason we have to start it and talk. Okay. About us. About us, not about this stuff. It's us. It's us. I think so because it's I think if
if it's one thing that appear when on the min is only one >> but we are we we march at the beat of the same drum at least we try to that's >> perfect but that's something that we have to take care ourself and and recognize that the staff that we have
they have family okay they had thing to do and they cannot be 24hour service hours >> we all agree with that >> thank you all right Um, Vice Mayor, >> I'll yield the Commissioner. >> Oh, okay. Mr. Mayor, um, okay, let's
just while we're waiting on the the policy, the previous policy that the city um had was the one that goes back kind of previous to uh some of us here, and that goes back to
>> 21. >> Resolution 21. Yes, that was back um a while back. that goes back to 2021. That was the last official policy. Had a lot of different things in it that some of us agreed with, some of us didn't. Of course, at that time, you had a special
events coordinator. You don't really have that position. Now, it's in the manager's office. Um, you had other different >> So, hold up. I'm going to madam manager. Where are we with that position? >> So, we have been um interviewing for that position. the la the last interview
that we had um we went over the functions and that person asked me the question so does this mean I have to work every Saturday and Sunday and I said not every Saturday and Sunday but we do have events on Saturday and Sunday and that person clearly said I cannot
accept the position >> got it >> so we are actively recruiting >> all right about it >> okay and and while you're active and that's probably a sticking point probably for anybody who wants that position because there's so much I again referencing the the the pass or previous
legislation which is all we have officially on the books. I know we talked about we wanted to tweak it. We suggested it but going back to some of the points um again this is in the policy under special events as listed on the parks and wreck about city incur
expense in the absence of available budget. The sponsor must obtain commission approval including a budget amendment. Of course, we know I don't know. I can't speak to how many times it happened, but that's a that's um challenge I believe. Also, the um event
guide that we even had from last year, uh Mr. Mayor, as you're you're asking alluded to the events, I think the clarity on sponsored hours versus um outside entities that we co-sponsor needs to be clarified as you're
suggesting. So, I I really want to have us look at that and the financial side as Commissioner Bass related because when you're co- hosting co-sponsoring um what is that cost for the co-sponsor and I want the manager and the clerk if
I can Mr. mayor to speak to that because a lot of times um just from my observation when we co-host or co-sponsor and I've even had with some of mine there's a difference of expectation when folks are co-sponsoring
co-hosting with us of who is responsible for what because sometime even when I've had folks at the feedings um we will tell them one table and two chairs and they get thinking they could get four tables and eight chairs and And I've kind of said to them, "No, you your
agreement was what we were provided this and that." And I don't know if any of you ran into that, but I want the manager's office and the clerk's office to speak to that cuz those are primarily the two that deal with it. So, I think those things need to be clarified. I even asked if there's a form that we have that uh we utilize for those kind
of situations and ask if it could be if it was one found to let all of us see it. Um, so I don't know if the manager or the clerk's office found one. I don't remember one since this legislation, but I think all of those are the challenges. Again, it's not about all of us doing
things that we think are beneficial or we partner with, but we've got to get a handle on it. So, I know uh Mr. Mayor, you'd asked for the documentation from Commissioner Bass. I guess she's it's been provided, but I think we need to
look at um what is commission total because when you look at our package that we received that we all passed and agreed on, it's pretty laid out what's a city event, who's hosting it, who's co-hosting it, but it does not really
speak to some of the partnerships and things that we do throughout the year. And I'm not even sure if this list that we have now um has been updated. Madam manager, Mr. Mayor to the manager, has this list been updated from what we kind of isn't anything changed from it? >> No, this is still
>> So it's still the same. So that's what we're going by. So then anything else that comes up uh would be considered what? How how do you classify that? Because we all agreed on these. So I got those. >> So these are the budgeted events. If
anything else comes up, it would be a um nonbudgeted commission event, which means that they would have to get sponsorships or donations for the event. >> Okay. And is there a Mr. Mayor to is there a form that we have for those kind
of partnership or agreements? >> No, at this time we do not have a form. I do have staff working on trying to create one, but we don't have one at this time. >> Okay. I think that's um critical too and I think to my colleagues as uh we read
the uh proposed legislation that was offered back and of course a lot of things have changed tweaking it but I think we need to to um look at it. We also need to come to a decision if not tonight at least discuss how many events
each of us individually can have outside of our uh corporate ones. When I say corporate, you know, national day of prayer or or those we have budgeted as the um manager indicated, but when something else comes up, how many of those can we have per month or per year?
Um I know it may not be a comfortable conversation, but we need to have it. But I'd like the the manager and the clerk again to speak to that um concern, Mr. Mayor, because it really falls under them. So, um, when we have the SP, um, joint
events, the co-sponsored events, it does put a lot on the staff because it's like a regular city event. Staff have to set up, staff have to be there. Um, we're using all of our tables, chairs, everything as if it's a regular city event. Um,
and it's not clear on what the other agency is really doing. >> Okay. It varies from event to event. >> Okay. Mr. Mayor, to the clerk, >> Mr. Mayor. Um, yes. So, I think I've
I've spoken with um several of you all individually and I kind of expressed to you all the wear and tear of all the special events on the the staff in the clerk's office because they do work um 8 8 through 5 and they're also expected to
attend events Saturdays and Sundays. I've also expressed my concern as it relates to partnering with other agencies and the lack of clear policies in place and the expectation for city staff versus the agency like what are
they expected to do versus what our city staff is expected to do. And I think that's where um you know I have an issue with because there's no clear policy in place that would you know let us know you know if you partner with an agency
is the city clerk staff supposed to be in attendance at those events. you know, are we supposed to because we've have issues before where the agencies had that expectation that were to bring the city is to provide the food, um, tables, chairs, all of that. But there is
nothing in writing that would let us know like what is the policy when we do partner with these agencies. And I think that's a concern that I have in addition to the number of hours outside of the 40 per week that my staff is working for
special events. Okay. Madam cl Vice Mayor. >> No, she was responding. I think >> she she was you finished. Madam, >> so you don't you to your knowledge you don't have a form in your office either that addresses that. >> So outside of the facility rental
application that we fill out through um parks and recreation. There's nothing separate that would um well nothing that I've seen that you know it's in place for the city. If there is then I mean someone can provide it to me but I have not seen that document.
>> Madam manager I'm I'm familiar with two forms a special events form that I think we do through planning and zoning if I'm not mistaken and then there's the FRA form that we do through parks and rent. >> Correct. >> So how we do I guess in my office we fill out the FRA form and submit it to
you all and it disseminates parks and it goes >> and that's just to pick the facility. Yes. It's a hold the rental. >> That's for the facility. >> That's just for the facility. >> Yes. >> And then the special events, that's for outside entities that want to do something in the city of Oklahoma. >> That's correct. Yes.
>> But on the FRA form, does it say what the event, who the event, how is it being budgeted? Is is that on that form? >> No, it says um name, location, date, um type of event, number of people,
and the the location. >> Okay. And m Mr. Mayor, part part of that is the lacking of clear information. U and we've seen this even with regular rentals, not just with ours, cuz I have
that challenge all the time. And I know Commissioner um Irvin has probably seen it cuz she's close to Shabbani Village. Even with a lot of the regular rentals, they're saying it's going to be 40 people and you got 150 people in parking all over um the place. So, it's not just
with with the regular form, but definitely since we're talking about uh the commission, we need to kind of come up with a form. I say you're working on something. So, I guess between you, the clerk, and the attorney, work on something that can become a part of
whatever we eventually pass for this particular um issue because it is a challenge. And I still say it it's a challenge on resources because a lot of times as you indicated, folks are expecting or think they're going to get
one thing and then we're thinking something else and then staff has to be called in. So I I would suggest that um as you complete that form and my colleagues are looking at the proposed um legislation that was passed that we come up with something. I know we're not
going to get all the final um answers tonight, but I do think we need to work towards that. And in looking at um as you said, Mr. Mayor, what we do as events, co-sponsored events or events that come up because things do come up,
people come to us, we think it's a good initiative that we do um and how we u deal with those versus the ones that are our own already incorporate events in the city. So, the ones we have through parks right now. Um, and you said they're budgeted. How many of those
right now? Cuz I I thought I missed something in there. >> I don't have a number. >> That writing is so small. >> This entire list, which we went through, >> but I thought we we I thought we cleared out some of them though. >> This is the list. This is it.
>> This is the >> Yeah, I'm looking at it. But I thought we cleared I thought we kind of took out some of them. This is the list that's that was discussed during our budget process and this is the one that's in the budget book. >> Okay.
>> Yeah. The clerk included it in the package. >> Yes. >> And how many is that? Is is that number? No. What I'm asking is besides the ones that's in there, how many new ones have have come up since then? because your
office and the clerk is a part of it. >> I don't have that number, but according to our budget, budgeted events is 26. >> Budget is 26. >> Yes. >> Okay. And the ones that come up, you don't have, you don't really know that number. >> I don't. >> Okay.
And has there been any over fiscal impact besides the 26 that you have a number for, an amount for? >> The other than the ones that's on this list? >> No, the ones that's on the list. Not well the other ones too, but definitely this one on the list. The ones on the list should be okay. I would assume
because we argue with those >> budgeted. We um we if it's a list that's if it's an event that's budgeted, we keep a um a budget for each event. I don't have those numbers right now because of course we have to wait for invoices to come in. We just had re we
had events recently and we don't have those final numbers of as of right now because we have to wait for vendors to send their invoices. But what I will tell you, we had about six from this list so far under this new
budget that started October 1. >> Vice Mayor, one second cuz I I get where you're going and I kind of do want to know. Madam Madam Manager, let's let's let's break this down real quick. Um and we can start from the top to bottom. Uh
we have the Arabian Nights. We know that that has not been done yet. the book bag giveaway. Is that was that in this budget or >> No, it's next budget. >> That's next year's budget. >> So, the first one on this list will be bingo. Bingo. $7,800. These amounts that I'm giving does not include staff time.
>> Okay. So, bingo we've done. That's the 22,000. That's what we're in the middle. Okay. What about the walk? We haven't done yet. The baby shower. Has that been done yet? >> No, that's no. >> Um chest and that that's a that's also throughout the year. Um the gun buyback that was one of my initiatives. We haven't done that yet. >> We have not did it.
>> Okay. Karaoke we had >> we haven't done yet we haven't haven't had karaoke yet. >> Karaoke had $10,000 here >> but we haven't did it this year yet. >> Okay. And the mayor's business lunch we had one um the Christmas toy drive is done. >> Am I giving the amounts or you just
going through the list? >> You have the amounts >> for the ones that we've did already >> with the the actual dollar amount. >> Yes. >> Okay. I was asking >> Christmas toy drive. But I thought you said you didn't. That's why I was just running through them. So, I don't I'm going to give you what we have so far. >> Okay.
>> So, um bingo 7,800. Um chess. Chess is $200 per month. And we don't go over the chess. >> Okay. >> Um the mayor's business lunch, 198 Christmas toy celebration, $7,86.
MLK Walk, $2,63. Veterans Day, $994. You're going to uh what was the what was Christmas? I'm sorry. I stopped. >> Christmas toy celebration $7,86. >> Okay.
All right. >> MLK walk $2,63. >> Okay. >> Veterans Day, $994. >> Okay. Congaloka $86. >> 800 what? I'm sorry. >> 8006. >> That's the money that you spend in in
Kongaloka. The city >> the city spent because a lot of it was um >> outside a lot of be from outside donated by people outside. >> Correct. >> What What else you got? >> Family fun night. $3,168. >> Family fun.
>> Where is that? >> Halloween. I'm sorry. Halloween fun night. >> Oh, how much? >> $3,168. Okay. >> Oh, okay. >> Oh, that's it. >> That's it. Who is this? 3,000 300 $3,168.
So you So these numbers here are inclusive of staff time to >> No, sir. It does not include staff. >> This is just the event for whatever that we to make the event. Correct. >> So all these numbers so far don't include staff time. None of them include staff time. >> But if I'm not mistaken,
this was it this budget aspect. We said we wasn't calculating staff time in and we were going to do that. What was that? And then what's the number? It said temporary labor at the top for the 5,000. And then the um lighting detector system. >> That's that's a part. So this comes from
the budget and this is a part of park's budget. This Yes. So it's other undercontracted services and that's park's budget. The special events start where it says special events to your left column >> and the very first one is Arabian night. >> When I saw temporary labor, I thought
that was >> Yes. Okay. So, do do we have um I guess been the mayor tag team and I um so do we have those numbers or those are still working >> for the staff cost. >> We can definitely get it.
>> Now, also keep in mind to me and again I could be wrong some of the things that we do take place during working hours. That's right. So to me, I don't think it should be overtime unless they have to bring in additional people or it takes away. Um,
and I guess that depends on the event, but I'd like to know what that that cost is too. um >> the event and the department because of course parks and recreation they do work later, police work later, but when you
have um the beautifification team or one of our other departments that don't work, they work. >> No, I understand because I know we've had several situations where you've had two or three things going at the same time. >> Correct. >> So that's why I'm asking the question we can get whatever that that that
breakdown is of the ones that we do because again this doesn't include the other ones. This just is the one we have on the list. But what that overtime or additional cost if you can get that to us. Yes. >> Um as well so we would um we would know.
And is there any way for you and maybe that needs to be on that form you're creating to calculate uh projected staff time for an event? I mean based on what we're requesting or the nature of the event. Is there a way to do that? We can if
it's one of these events. If it's a event that's not on this list, we don't know until that event comes up. So, we we would have to do that once we get that um request for the event. >> Mr. Mayor. >> Okay. >> I I'll pause. >> And also, when we're having these events
on the same day, it's it's really stretching the staff. It's they're they're all over. They'll have to leave. They leave in one event trying to run to the other and trying to um be available for both events. and it's taken a lot from the staff. >> Okay. So, what I'm going to do, I want
to close the conversation because now we need to come up with some resolve after you speak, but we need to come up with a resolve because we're getting laid in the island. Um, Commissioner Santiago, you have the floor. >> Thank you, Lori. Um, and thank you, Mr. Mayor.
Madame Manager or Mr. Mayor the other city have other kind of restriction that we tried to discussing tonight with the city employment when we have any event that it have to do uh with the residents the residents especially the resident in
opalaka >> some cities do >> no I want to know if they have restriction they has to pay all the cities all the city okay I I like to see information about it and like that we can discussion you know in the future
whatever we have tonight though the mayor want to closing because we have a very uh tight schedule tonight but what what I try to say is I think that we have to start it is to uh in the house inside okay with all the
events that we have and all the money that we are spending in only one event that we can splitting you know that for everybody in the whole year and try to make things that helping really help the community the community the people. Uh I
live in there I close too. >> Okay. Okay. >> Mr. Mayor, just two things please just revert a little bit. We were talking about the sponsors. >> Yes. >> I would like to see a form that states um the insurance of the co-sponsors from the outside
>> because we got to protect ourselves as a city. >> And the other one just kind of left my mind. They say they want to make it a foreign like for somebody want to come and donate money to the city that I see that's a little you know out of the line. How come we going to have a form
to make somebody fill it out if they want to sponsor one of the event for any one of us? >> That that's not what she said. >> That's I believe that that's you asking before something like that or vice mayor. >> What the Can I just finish? >> That'll finish. Yeah. I'm sorry.
>> Okay. And the other thing I was going to mention is um I think we really need to take a look at what we charge for our for our buildings and our parks. It is so far beneath where it should be and if
we were to do at least be competitive to surrounding cities, we will be able to balance out some of the overtime for the staff >> that that will be coming back to the commission. >> Okay. Thank you. >> All right. Um madam manager, so I want to go back. I do agree with Vice Mayor
Kelly. We do need to put a number on events that we have outside of the special events um budgeted special events. However, the only challenge that I would have that there's some things that are initiatives but not really events. For example, Rice does it with
Flo and you know I do it with um Dario Fernandez office. They bring the bus, they park it, we don't use our staff, they do everything. They just set up in our parking lot. So is that considered an event? The same with um um vice mayor when he does float, they set up in the
park that is already open during business hours. They don't use our staff. The only thing they use is either the parking lot or the building or or when we brought the tax collector to to the city hall. So we that also needs to
be defined as well when we have this next part of this conversation because there there is a difference. There is a difference. >> Well done. Okay, >> that's a bit different. Uh, let me let me touch a little point of that.
>> Okay, real >> quick in that in that event in that event when uh when we made it together when um uh day county tax collection u Mr. regular. Um I even asking my manager
and the police department if we have anything extra because the problem happened there after 7 we have a big amount of people that we service and let me tell you this that I receive a very
uh good report today and we not serving u all the people from outside of Opalaka but I have something here that is official for the a county only people from Opaaka 273
people resident in the great city of Opa loca it's not me that I write it down that's sending by the department for regal and I asking my manager and my police department chief I think uh that night or or the person that she left
there in charge if our police need to get pay extra to let me Thank you, Commissioner. >> Let me board in loud and clear. >> And that's for the community. >> Thank you, Commissioner. So, um I think me and Vice May, all of us online. I do
think we need to put a number on events outside of the special events. And I'll throw a number out there. Six. Six additional. That's six months out of the year. And we can choose or if somebody has a different number, we can throw something else out there. vice that was
throwing that. Do you you mean six more individuals? >> Six more individual. >> Oh no. And I'm let me say why and again the point you make up it depends on what it is. But even with like when I do flow and you bring them even though they're using the outside or they're using
inside I know for mine we still have a police person there or either a PSA there. But that's still a cost although it's minimal. I think given where we are and trying to rein this in I I would really go for a lower number um of maybe
three or four at least to start until we get the managers um numbers back on the the overtime and the expenses outside of the norm. Um I I would feel more comfortable. Now, if it comes back with a different number, six might be okay. But I think that's too high for extra
things. Unless, cuz again, part of what was proposed in that legislation, if something came up and the whole commission agreed, then that became a different situation. But in terms of me just going and saying, I want to have a
dig up the dirt event, and it goes through the process, and you want to have, you know, a dig up the grass event. I think we may need to also look at combining both dig at the ground events. But even at that, I think three or four should be sufficient. At least
until the manager comes up would tell us what that number cuz I think the overtime, as she said, the staffing is our big concern. Cuz when I look at this, it looks like we're pretty much in line. I mean, some of them are a little over, but don't look like we went over a whole lot or under on many of these, but I think those are
the outside ones. And I would say this to all of us as a part of our thought processes process we have to figure out where this really starts the process because when I have an event or I think about something I usually go to the clerk and say is there anything on the
calendar for this date and she will say sometimes I don't have anything on the calendar but then when I look on social media I see something posted um that she did not know. Now, I know since we've changed, a lot of that has went to the manager's office because we had the events coordinator and I know a
lot of these things now originate in your office. So, that needs to be clarified, too. Where do you go? Somebody comes to you and say, "I got this great initiative, you know, Commissioner Irvin or Commissioner Santiago, I want to do and and we really need to do it on the 14th of May."
Before we even commit, let me make a call to whomever to say, first of all, is that date available? and they could say, "No, there's nothing happening on the 14th, but that's happening on the 13th and the 16th." So, you may have to consider, do you want to put that in there? That needs to be a real um
conversation. So, as you doing your due diligence to bring back to us, that needs to be incorporated in there as well. Again, it's not against any cuz all of us uh know folks, we have initiatives, different things we want to do, but we have to we have to rein this
in and get a structure on it. So I would say three or four um unless the manager really says that the overtime and the stress and expense on the staff and the clerk says the same thing. So I think six that's that's 30 more. >> No, the reason why I said six and that
was inclusive of initiatives, partnerships and stuff like that. So six will also include if I we partner with the tax collector, we partner and they bring their stuff and we not doing anything. They're just setting up in the parking lot. That cuz to me that's still an event. That's why I said six. >> Oh, so you Okay. So clarify you're
you're inclusive of everything. >> Okay. >> Okay. Well, that's that's a different um a different way of looking at it. And again, does that okay? I know you want to move on because that's a deeper discussion because some things we do are
corporately as a whole, right? >> But is that considered my event? >> Going back to your you said there always have to be a point. Well, and I agree with that, but that's still Is that going to be considered one of my my six? If you're the sponsor,
that would be one of your six. >> I don't agree with you. >> So, who gets credit for that? >> But bingo is budgeted. >> I know, but still, you said a point person. >> So, is that one of who six? That's one of all of our six. >> No, if bingo's budgeted, so that's taken
care of. We do it every second Friday of the month. Is it scheduled on the calendar event? But let's just say vice mayor vice mayor let's just say commissioner Irvin said I want to have um disco bingo on the fourth Friday. That's an additional event. >> So she gets So you're saying all of us
would get six addition >> six additional events. >> Yeah that's a lot >> that inclusive but it's also inclusive of initiative. Remember we we partnered with the the the uh what's the guy's name? He's coming back next month. Miss
Dar Fernandez's office. So, he's bringing back the truck again to do everything, but they're going to be parked in the front and we're doing that. >> I think that should be that should count as an event. >> So, mayor, I have a question. >> Yes, ma'am. >> So, to help the
>> Flo comes every every month. That would get him 12 events. >> But the reason why I wouldn't say anything about Flo because Flo is also attached to the feeding the feeding. So, it's something already going on. So, he just attached it to something that's already going on. >> Okay.
>> So, if if if Baz wanted to have um um a domino challenge the same day as Bingo in the same room, I don't see that a problem. But it's when Bass wants to have a Domino's challenge the very next day outside of and I'm only saying
outside of what's on this paper, that's when it becomes to me an issue. But if we're partnering together or we're partnering events, I don't see that as a problem. That's just my opinion. >> That's my opinion. >> My opinion. I know I know we that's
getting convoluted, but >> I just think you just added more to the staff and they're sitting over there quiet, but I I you know, the clerk and the and the manager, y'all sitting there quiet. We're actually talking about adding potentially. I know we may not, but >> that's 57 events. >> Back it up. I go four. But I just want
to say that there are initiatives that come up. That's that was my point. Even though when he comes, he comes during the daytime, but is that considered an event? >> That's what I'm where I'm at with I don't mind the four. >> Listen Listen, Mayor, if I may, if I may
say when, let's say, bingo, I'm going to use bingo. It is budgetable, but I'll still use bingo. Bingo is done during park hours. Um, the only thing outside of park staff would be when we have an officer that comes and sit there, but
officers are already working or we use reserve officer. >> So, cuz I know at my I'm sorry, I'm going to use grown folks. I know at grown folks, I have a lot of reserve officers. >> We do get reserves and I know cuz that's
not a budgeted item, but parks are still open and it's I think like maybe two hours. We go two hours over park what park usually work. So >> that will be an an expense to the city. But if we say that
the sponsors are willing to pay the salary of those park workers that stayed, would that still be a problem? >> No. Okay. Well, it's not a problem financially, but it is a problem with
our staff because we are burning them out. Okay. >> All right. >> So, it's >> all right. So, >> everything everything have a you know a solution. We're going to find a solution for that. >> That's why we're here. >> Yeah, that's what we're here for. >> We can do four additional I can agree to
that. If we and then you can bring it back in legislation form, but sum this all up. If everybody is okay with that, that's four additional events. Now, I will say this. We're already in February. not literal, but I know a lot of us have stuff on the calendar already. So, can
this begin in March and I just want to be fair to anybody that already has something, Mr. Mayor, on the calendar? >> I I would just say this to all to all of us. I let the manager, attorney clerk work on that and try to have because again, she's got to look at this
proposed policy, probably meet with us individually, get our thoughts to put something together. So I I'd like to say hopefully by May or June to have something back, but all of us just keep in mind at the moment to lessen as much as we can if I can say it like that. So
it does take the stress off the staff as much as possible using reserves, using uh try to do things within the hours incorporated so it doesn't burn out staff, but I think it'll be challenging and as you said um a lot of you know everyone may have stuff they're planning
already talked to folks. So I don't want to styy that. So I would really push it back to say maybe uh May to have something back before us. And in the meantime, she can meet with us. If she feels she needs another workshop, she can do that. Um because I I you know,
she've already talked to somebody about possibly doing something else. She going back saying, "You got to stop that." So I would offer to my colleagues to get it back to us in some form to make sure she can incorporate everything. So my colleague said, Commissioner Santiago, look at other cities, what they're doing. Commissioner Bass, how talk about
the insurance and fees and that gives um all of them enough time to really put that together. So then we do pass it. Um it is tight and it's correct going forward. I just think going forward right now all of us just need to be kind of aware of the stress is putting on the
the staff. So I would just offer that to my to my colleagues um as a suggestion. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. >> Mr. Mayor >> um >> I'm okay with us giving the manager a directive to tweak this and get it
right. Don't have her do all that work and then we come and do what we did last meeting. >> That's why I said we >> because she did a lot of work with that other and then we everything she did went out the window because we went on another direction. So,
>> but go ahead, Commissioner Lar. >> I have a quick question. I need clarification. Um, several of the events that I do is cohorts, right? Like the parenting classes was six weeks, the last classes
that's four weeks. And I want to know if that counts as one. And I try to schedule my events around regular hours so I don't have after dark different from the night of Thanksgiving. So, I want to know how would that fit with us having four or five um events since I
have cohorts. >> Yeah, I agree. Um Madam Manager, >> let me ask you a question. And I didn't mean to question. Give me one second because I'm I think you answer We got the same question. The next agenda is is it is it an extensive? Is it long? The next meeting >> on the
>> February 11th? >> Yes. >> Um no. >> Okay. Can you do a presentation on that gives you about two weeks on commission events and at that presentation define as much as you can everything. >> Sure. >> And that goes with and what you think
your opinion how you want to see because ultimately your staff between you and the clerk deals with this. So telling us what a um city event is, what is a non-budget event, blah blah blah blah blah. Um talking about the cohorts, even the insurance and what was something else she brought up too. >> What she said
>> what she said. What did you say? >> We said don't do all this work. >> And don't do all this work. >> Don't do all this work. Speaking on flyers, speaking on everything. How we just break it down. Protocols, who does what, pictures, break it down how you all desire to see it. Present that to
the commission in a discussion form at the next meeting. We can discuss it that night and then you can bring it back in legislation form. And we can always phase it out. We can do phase one, phase two, phase three, phase whatever, whatever. but bring us something to work with. And then I would also s um go back
to what vice mayor said. My suggestion is even prior to that meet with every commissioner. Meet with everybody to get, you know, yeah, our thoughts, our wants, our questions, and then that way you can answer them in a public setting and let
everybody know. >> Mr. Mayor, >> I'm not asking you to break lunch. I'm just ask you to just >> Mr. Mayor, Mr. Amen. >> To Mr. Irvin, >> to the manager and madam manager, tell it like it needs to be told when you meet individually. >> Okay?
>> And to my and to my colleagues, make sure y'all can handle what she tell y'all, >> including the numbers. So, we want to know what we've done, where we are now, and what's your plan forward between between you and the clerk and whoever is involved with that. Um, >> Mr. Mayor, I'm waiting on an answer.
>> I'm waiting on an answer. I need to know cuz my next cohort is coming up for lymphatic drainage training. >> We're not we're not changing anything right now. Everything that you have planned, I agree, vice may agree, is on the books. The the manager will bring because she can't answer that question. She doesn't really know. The manager is
going to bring something to us next week and at that time we'll discuss it. But go ahead with your cohort. I'm okay with my cohort. Everybody's good with the cohort. Have fun at the drainage. What did you say? >> Static drainage. >> Static drainage. massage street. Okay.
And um and Mr. Mayor before you closing this uh please uh to the uh city manager uh the next uh discussion that we have uh like this tonight a workshop please just do it another day that is not a commissioner meeting. >> No, she's going to do it. She's doing
it. >> No, I say the one that you say probably we're going to have another workshop to discuss and know that in June and May or whatever. Okay. And and I want to add you know things that are going to be sitting with you very soon because all the pressure and all the uh you know
direction and all the things that we want to implant is only for the commissioners. But let me tell you the time for the commissioner is val too. Okay. We do a lot of things. We are forcing ourself to serving the community and when we serve in the community we
need your stuff you people the people working here in the city. Thank you. >> All right. So, madame manager, you have your marching orders. You have your marching orders, but please, I agree, totally agree with um Commissioner Irvin and Vice Mayor. Tell us like it is. Even
if we don't like it, tell us. Tell us so we're all on the same page and nobody can say they don't. >> Um um this is we're going to open up for public comments. And those of you that do have public comments, we ask that you stay germanine to the topic at hand, which is special events. So, we're going
to open up real quick for public comments. Public comments is open. Seeing none, hearing none. Public comments is closed. >> Most to adjourn. >> Can I uh move by um Vice Mayor Kelly, second by
Commissioner Dr. Baz. This meeting is adjourned. I'll see you at um our regularly scheduled commission meeting. Part: 2

And no public presentations? >> No. >> All right. So, we're going to go into our citizens form. Madame clerk, can you still please state for the record how to
participate in citizens form? >> The city of Opaaka commission meetings are held in person at the Opaaka Government Center, City Commission Chamber, 780 Fisherman's Street, 3rd Flor, Opalaka, Florida. Members of the public wishing to address the commission
may do so in person or virtually. Those persons wishing to participate virtually should register prior to the scheduled meeting time on the city's website at www.opalaka. opalaka fl.gov. When speaking before the commission, please make sure to give your full name and
address for the record. There is a 3minut time limit for public comments. Please adhere to the decorum policy which is a part of the commission meeting agenda. City commission meetings are aired through liveream at www.youtube.com/user/c cityofakco.
>> All right, citizens forum is open. Um, madam clerk, do we have any online participating? >> No, Mr. Mayor, we do not. >> For those of you in the chamber, citizens form is open citizen, address, 2140 York Street. Uh I want to discuss
just briefly what happened last week um at the Hel Miller Center. It was an invitation that was not an invitation. The only people that was there was myself, um, Commissioner Irving, and
Commissioner Santiago and, uh, Brother Isaiah Kelly and the presenters. As I went through the list and what um, Miss Hulk gave me, I took it to someone and there were several people that was
on that list that supposedly got mail out that are deceased. Yeah, that documentation, I took it to some people. And on this list are several residents that are deceased.
A lot of people that don't live in the city. And I found it like a conspiracy because it's funny that that meeting was held the same night that former city manager that pretty much wrecked this city
was being put in position to be the city manager that was being put in the city in the position to be the city manager at North Miami Beach. Let me let me say this here. I think and when I say conspiracy, I say it lightly because it was really that that wasn't a
co coincidence. It is funny how we could go and say stuff and do stuff knowing what happened to those individuals that was done wrong, fired wrong. Um, matter of fact,
Mr. Mitchell from this incident in 2024 is still going to court over this thing. This thing is two years old now from a police investigation that never materialized. They never called in Miami day county. So this gentleman is still
going to court with this and all of this stuff was was instigated and not investigated by the city of Opa Laka but controlled by the former city manager Din Williams. But when folks say that it is blood on people hands
Mr. The men who has been on house arrest for 2 years. Yeah, it's blood on people hand. It's blood on people hand. Citizens form is still open. [clears throat] >> Good afternoon.
>> 640 Dunad Avenue. Um Angelina Roberts do um 640 Dunad Avenue. Two concerns in 2026. Please take under consideration that your staff is being overworked. We're having events after events after
events and everybody here have a family. And then you have to ask yourself, do you really really think it's fair that they're here seven days to run events in buildings where people call us and say, "Well, I
want to have an event and um I don't have a location to do it and it it's in one of the vineyards here." It doesn't matter which one. It shouldn't happen. These are taxpayer dollars. That is unfair to the residents of the city of Opalaka. Now, the other issue that I
have is no way, no disrespect to nobody on the diet that anything anybody even under friendship or anything should have been done. What you do in your spare time is your spare time. It's no way that Darvin Williams
had seven accounts open in the city of Opalaka and you say he have integrity. You have integrity and he's transparent. It's no way you could you could say that in all due respect as an individual as as a person I would not put my face on nothing that dirty when you know he's
going to go to city of North Miami Beach to do the same identical same thing to them. Citizens forum is still open. >> Good evening Dominguez 1147 Jan Avenue. Happy New Year's everyone. On a happier
note, I wanted to start by saying I'm very happy to seeing so much work and improvement done in the city of Opalaka in basically a year. Okay. Old Historic City Hall, Sesame Street Bridge, Shabbandi
Playground and Basketball Court, four-way stop sign in Jan Avenue, parking behind Shabbandi. Um, which is super I'm super excited about that. >> Yes. >> I I mean, I could literally walk and not not be walking on rocks. And it's safe
for the seniors. Okay. And I also heard I know it's true is that what we hired an HR director an in-house HR director. Okay. Now I I don't know but if if you're seeing what I'm seeing but in a year we've
accomplished all this. Okay. So I just want to say thank you to city manager Shima Lawson and her staff CIP um director Alina Gross. Thank you. And I know some of some of the
commissions, not all, get impatient as far as projects that they're questioning and not being done, but everything takes its time. I mean, all historic city hall took what, nine years to be completed. So,
just be patient. Everything will get done. And now that we have a superpower city manager, I know we're going to complete everything. Now, on another note, I was driving on Oh, and I forgot to say the the next project also, the new
resurfacing of Alibaba Avenue. Woo! Okay. Um, I was driving towards Alibaba Avenue close to uh 22nd Avenue. As I was driving, there's a large tow truck parked parallel like basically like
this. And I'm over here trying to go through. He wasn't moving. He just blocked the whole street. So, I'm looking at him like, "Hey, are you going to move?" No, he told me to go around and and basically go on the opposite direction
where traffic is coming and for me to just go around. So, and I know that code enforcement knows who this gentleman is cuz he's from the Caribbean. Um, that he his business is there. All I need is that maybe periodically code enforcement
a police look in that area because every time I pass by there it's blocked. So, but that's the only thing. Thank you. >> No problem. Um, Citizens Forum is still open. Citizens forum is closed. All right,
Madam Manager. Quick recap. So, um, Mr. Dennis talked about the project and a lot of residents did not get noticed. Is that are you aware of that or >> I did speak to um the attorney who's over that project and she did provide us
with a list of where they who they u melt the notices too. Um they did all the mailing themselves. >> Okay. And you all are doing another meeting. I saw right? >> We're not doing another meeting but the developer is Yeah. They've already
reserved the facility for the meeting. >> Okay. Madam attorney I guess it's a question to madam attorney. We can enforce that they is there mailing policy and procedure on how we do mailing when it comes down to projects in the city of Opalaka. Is that something that we can enforce? >> Um, as far as for city events,
>> no, not city events, city projects that they have to reach out to residents, how they reach out to residents, who they reach out to as it relates to projects. >> I believe um it notes that it just has to be done. I don't think it prescribes who has to do it. Um but I can take a
look at what the statute says. >> Yeah, the stat um um what's um Commissioner? >> Yes. At the meeting um we were told that it has to be a 500 uh feet uh
>> 500 feet radius >> radius. Yes. >> From where the project >> from the where the project >> and the project is >> is going to be. >> Okay. So, madam manager, >> can we ensure that they are complying with our laws? >> You said, did we ensure >> can we ensure
that they're having another meeting? >> So, staff did send her an email and I am copied on it and said for that next meeting that they that that they have coming up that they need to do a better job with um notice and they need to um inform everybody in the area, not just
the people that's 500 radius. >> And what's the um what's the date of that meeting? Um I do you have >> February >> but I have a question Mr. Man Mr. Mayor >> Commissioner >> if if I if on paper our rules are that
you have to do a 500 uh radius 500 um feet radius then why are we forcing them to do everybody over there? I'm just curious. >> I just want them to abide by the law. >> Yeah. Right. Period. Just make sure that people know about it. And it's the 500
uh feet square feet uh radius that they told us at the meeting. >> My my take on it is for them to just abide by the law. >> That was the law >> to make sure that they're but the problem is even the people in 500 ft that didn't get. So that wasn't that was
a concern. >> Right. We also have deceased residents on that list that no longer >> that's another concern. >> Correct. So we that's a lot in that. I just want to make sure that they're abiding by our laws. >> So, we didn't force them, but we on the
email from staff, it strongly suggests that they do a better job with notifying the residents. Yes. >> Okay. All right. Um um Miss Roberts talked about the staffing over work and too many events. We had a workshop today
and the manager is going to bring a proposal back at the next meeting and then we'll discuss it and then we'll move forward after that. Uh, Commissioner Dominguez, thank you for noticing the great things that the city of Opalaka is doing. And that truck that
she's talking about it isn't. [laughter] Okay. It's the It's the same truck. And which is the reason why I asked before, is there times where there's that no through truck sign? How do we enforce that? And does that include tow trucks?
But it Yeah. No, you don't have to do it now, but just make sure. Yeah. Okay. Um, and we did hire uh, so that rumor is actually true, commissioner, we do have a new HR director. She's
actually right behind you. He's actually right behind you. So, we can move on. If nobody have any >> I I do, >> Commissioner. >> I do. Um, I I would like to say this. Um, I agree with our our resident. What we do on our own time is our own
business. However, we there is a time that everybody know we're elected officials. You can Google any of us and it tells us that we're elected officials. When it comes to I actually looked up the word integrity to make sure that I
knew what integrity is and it tells you the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles and moral uprightness is what integrity is. I have a issue with saying somebody has
integrity and they opened up 17 bank accounts without our knowledge. That's an issue for me and for the city of North Miami Beach. I want I like to say things that's matter of fact things that I can prove.
Darvin didn't save the day with Miami Day College with a million dollar anything. It was $571 two $571,000 with 205 Let me say this like I know what I'm talking about. $571,21254.
That's what that was under our 99 findings. To our knowledge, he only cleared eight. He cleared eight. Didn't clear it all. He didn't save the day. The turmoil that that man caused in our city, we're still recovering from it. Not just
that, all of us on this day is have been affect except for Commissioner Bass have been affected by Darbin's wrongdoing. All of us. He came after all of us in some kind of way. So for me, my heart goes out for the city of North Miami
Beach. It really does because if they have to experience what we experienced and we were told that the blood of the city was going to be on our hands and I have to flip that right now because the blood of North Miami Beach is going to be on your hands, Commissioner. And I
love you to death. >> I love you to death. >> Okay. I shut up. >> All right. So, we can uh >> I will not. I'm sorry, madame manager. We I will not get rid of you to bring back Darbon Williams. No way. No how I
would do that. You're doing an upstanding job. I appreciate it. Keep up the good work. I'm always in your corner. Always. Thank you. Now, shut up. >> All right, we can move on. Um, but we need to go back really quick to
>> the mayor. Let me say something quickly. >> Commissioner B. >> What you feed is what grows. And I'm going to leave it like that. >> So, we're going to move back. And we need to go back really quick to item number six on the agenda to the approval of the consent. Um, can I get a motion
to approve tonight's consent agenda? Moved by Vice Mayor Kelly, second by Commissioner Irvin. Madame Clerk on the approval of the consent agenda. >> Commissioner Bass, >> yes. >> Commissioner Irvin, >> yes. >> Vice Mayor Kelly, >> yes. >> Mayor Taylor, >> yes. >> Motion passes 40. >> All right.
