Mayor Ziade asked if Ms. Herrera could obtain a report of the end result of where the recyclables end up and what was made with it; Ms. Herrera said of course. Vice Mayor Borgelin mentioned a rumor that the City of North Lauderdale was not recycling any more. Ms. Herrera dispelled that rumor stating that recycling is ongoing not only in Broward County, but in all of Florida and the United States. She stated that Florida is very aggressive with regard to recycling; the market has shifted but it is not going away and consumer behavior needs to change. So far the City will continue to recycle unless otherwise directed. Ms. Herrera will be working with staff to make sure the residents get simple and consistent education on how to recycle. City Manager Bhatty stated that the can use the presentation on the City website and TV channel. Ms. Herrera said yes and she will lend herself to any educational meetings with residents as well. City Manager interjected that it would be a policy decision by the Commission if recycling was not going to be continued, and not staff or the industry.

Clerk called roll; all YES.RESOLUTION NO. 19-04-6627 PASSED AND APPROVED UNANIMOUSLYSUBJECT – Authorizing Surplus and Purchase of Fleet VehiclesVice Mayor Borgelin moved to read; seconded by Commissioner Wood.Attorney read 9(b)(i) and 9(b)(ii):George Krawczyk, Public Works Director, presented the items based on backup memorandum. He indicated this is for vehicles that are over ten years old or have reached their service life. He reported that we have an auction vendor, Bidera, that the City uses for auction of the vehicles in a public forum with a good pricing return. Mr. Krawczyk further stated that the second component is for the purchase of five new vehicles to replace the vehicles that were surplused to maintain the fleet. The items to be purchased are outlined in the backup memorandum, to be purchased utilizing the State Contract and the Florida Sheriff’s Association contract for the best pricing. RESOLUTION – Authorizing Surplus of Five Ford VehiclesA RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF NORTH LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING THE SURPLUS OF FIVE FORD VEHICLES AND UTILIZING THE SERVICES OF AN AUCTION VENDOR AS BEING THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHOD OF DISPOSAL; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Vice Mayor Borgelin asked for a comparison of the costs if the vehicles were to be repaired versus purchase of new vehicles based on the mileage of the vehicles. Mr. Krawczyk explained that the miles don’t tell the whole story of the engines and transmission; these vehicles get high use and the body and interior have a lot of wear and tear. Industry standard on trucks is 10 years; 7 years on cars. The City typically exceeds standards by going over the 10 year mark. Tamarac does a great job in maintaining the units but there are still issues with the age of the units which is more costly in repairs to replace parts and they are able to get the most out of the vehicles. Commissioner Bustamante suggested changing the vehicles every three years to get back more value. Mr. Krawczyk said there are leasing companies that have a program like that however, it is a big capital cost for that business model, and the City does not own those units. Also, the units have to be outfitted with lights, radios, computers and other functions so every three years that would be costly to replace. City Manager Bhatty said they could do a cost analysis going forward. Commissioner Wood commented that the model we currently use is a state model. Mr. Krawczyk reiterated it is an industry standard for municipalities to surplus vehicles every ten years. Mayor Ziade also commented that no one can beat the pricing of a state contract and directed staff to look into a cost analysis. No further comment. Commissioner Wood moved to approve the surplus and auction of the vehicles. Seconded by Commissioner Bustamante. Clerk called roll; All YES.

Commissioner Moyle commented that there is also an aesthetic value to the vehicles and agreed with Commissioner Bustamante that certain ones should be upgraded as soon as three years. Commissioner Wood moved to approve purchase of vehicles as listed in staff memorandum. Seconded by Vice Mayor Borgelin.

AT& T now has a contract with the State of Florida which we can piggyback off of for a UVerse channel for the City. This would cover only UVerse users; it will not cover Dish, or Direct TV. We would be able to advertise on Comcast and AT&T UVerse. Mitch Williams, Chief Information Technology Officer, reported that to be able to broadcast on UVerse the City would have to purchase an encoder that meets their standards for an IP based transmission, which would cost around $8,000-$9,000 and would take about 3 months to get it situated. If it is the will of the Commission, IT will proceed to get the components and AT&T will get a channel and when it is ready it will go live. There was discussion on how many people it would reach and when would live streaming begin. Mr. Williams reported that live streaming will not happen until next year’s budget in October. Mr. Sargis advised that once this is done the same information that is on the Comcast channel will be broadcast on UVerse and will also be available for social media. Commissioner Wood made a motion to direct staff to move forward to purchase AT&T UVerse. Seconded by Commissioner Bustamante. Clerk called roll.
