Dorothy Johnson, 13724 NW22nd

Mr. Aikens should have received a frame. She asked for clarity on items 13- 4 and 13- 6.

12. ACTION ITEMS:

1 ( 13- 3). A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF OPA-

LOCKA, FLORIDA, DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO COMPLY WITH THE

FINANCIAL EMERGENCY BOARD' S PROHIBITION OF TAKE HOME VEHICLESFOR NON-EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AS DELINEATED BY THE CHIEF

INSPECTOR GENERAL' S MAY 17, 2018 LETTER; PROVIDING FOR

INCORPORATION OF RECITALS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Sponsored by City Manager

The above resolution was read by Attorney Brown.

It was moved by Commissioner Pigatt, seconded by Vice Mayor Kelley for discussion.

Mayor Taylor said that she spoke to the inspector general two weeks ago and was informed that

he was not the one that was enforcing this. It seems to her that this is a power play from theboard to the commission. The previous manager at the time said that the commission' s vehicles

do not have an impact to the City. She is unsure why the manager put this item on the agendawhen they are his bosses; he is asking the commission for permission to take his supervisorsvehicles. She asked the manager to defer the item until after the next board meeting and then seewhat happens.


Commissioner Riley said that as of June2nd,

the clerk of the court finally issued a summons thatwill be served any time now. The summons asks the court to enforce the Home Rule Power thatis set in place for municipalities.

Commissioner Holmes said that he sent a letter to the inspector general explaining the reason forhis need to drive the city issued vehicle that he has. He was hurt on the job eleven years ago andchose not to take legal action, and therefore he does not support this item.

Vice Mayor Kelley said this is why he is in favor of Mr. Daughtrey. Years ago when he was themanager, he handled the business of the City in the same manner. He brings the business to thecommission and gave them the option of voting it up or down. He understands what the mayor issaying, but the May

17th

letter that was sent to everyone made it very clear that it is not theexpectation that the manager will accept the recommendations and enforce the board' s guidance.It is obviously challenging for manager to tell his bosses to turn in their cars, but he does have aduty to comply with the board' s guidance; the manager simply brought it forth. He asked theattorney where the City stands with the summons that was mentioned by Commissioner Riley.

City Attorney Brown said that the City has not been served as of today, there is a summons, butit is not valid until it has been delivered. He is unsure what Commissioner Riley' s intentions are,but there is a summons out there.

Vice Mayor Kelley said that he is glad that the manager brought the item forth. The mayor hasasked the manager to defer the item so he asked the attorney if there is an issue with the managermoving forth today with the recommendation from the state.

City Attorney Brown said that this is a case of first impressions and has never been done to hisknowledge. The question is whether or not the commission chooses to abide by what isrecommended in the letter. Only a court of law can determine if the City is not complying withthe interlocal agreement.

Commissioner Pigatt said that the direction of the oversight board is extremely clear. It was toldto the commission last year that the cars were to be turned in so he is unsure how the vehicles areon the road again. It was noted justly and rightly, the exception of Commissioner Holmes, butthis is very clear. He has seen the abuse of city vehicles, even take home vehicles and it is notright. He put on the record that he has never received a city vehicle, ever and asked that the votebe taken and followed through.

Mayor Taylor said that the City' s budget is in a much better condition in 2018 than it was in2016. She mentioned that the previous manager offered Commissioner Pigatt a city vehicle andhe declined. She asked the manager to defer the item until after the states meeting.

Acting City Manager Daughtrey said that he has done his duty and that is to present the item tothe commission. He has implemented his duty and it is on the record, each of them can decidewhat they want to do. He is waiting for a directive.

Commissioner Pigatt thanked the manager for placing the item on the agenda. He said that sincetaking office, he has not been given the information he needs to do his job effectively. Headdressed the mayor' s statement about him declining a vehicle. It was asked of him if he wantedto have the vehicle of the late Commissioner Terence Pinder, but that vehicle was given toRegular Commission Meeting Minutes—6/ 13/ 2018 5

another commissioner. It was then suggested that a vehicle be purchased for him and he believedthat was not the time for this to be done given the financial situation. This was the reason for thedecline".

Mayor Taylor once again asked the manager to defer the item.

Acting City Manager Daughtrey said that Charter gives him the right to sit in at discussions, butit does not give him the right to vote. His job is to give the commission his professional opinionon issues. If that is what the commission chooses, he will wait until after the state meeting tobring back the item.

The item was deferred by the sponsor.

because the funds are not available.

If he can see it, he knows the staff can see it. There are severalpiles of garbage that is growing and has not been removed.

Commissioner Holmes said that he knows the manager is doing the best he can, but the roadsneed to be fixed on Cairo lane. The businesses are suffering and that area needs to be a priority.
