COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES FROM THE PUBLIC ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS A. Comments From The Public Joel Kaplan, of 6277 NW 80 Drive, Parkland, Florida, expressed his concern regarding the increased traffic on Lox Road. For the safety of the residents, Kaplan urged the Commission to consider installing a sound barrier wall or guardrail. Kaplan stated drivers excessively speed and there are close calls/near misses on the road daily. With increased growth in the Wedge, and the Wawa coming in, Kaplan stated we need to do something for the homeowners in Mayfair before someone get hurt. Vice Mayor Weissman stated he has been speaking with the City Manager, and City Attorney, regarding property adjacent to Mayfair. There is room to install a guardrail on their property, but it would require them to grant the City an easement. The community also said they would maintain the guardrail, and I will work on it over the next month or so. Commissioner Hunschofsky asked if staff could follow up, because a guardrail is not scheduled for the southside of Lox Road. City Manager Gardner-Young stated, it is not part of the multijurisdictional project, however they have since put in a request for it. If one is installed early, it would then have to be taken out during construction, as only the posts can be reused. The estimated costs is $125,000. Roseann Slifko, of NW 66 Street, Parkland, Florida, expressed her concern for erupting sidewalks near the Fox Ridge neighborhood. The Commission stated the sidewalks belong to the County, for maintenance, but we will have staff follow-up again on your behalf. B. Comments By The Mayor And Commission Commissioner Kagan introduced her direct appointment to the Education Advisory Board, Grace Solomon. Kagan stated she chose Ms. Solomon for her community advocacy and her work with the playground at Park Trails.

3 PAGE 3 Commissioner Hunschofsky introduced her direct appointment to the Education Advisory Board, Golden Johansson. Hunschfosky stated she chose Ms. Johansson because she is Broward leadership, active in the community and will be a great help to the City. Mayor Udine complimented and thanked everyone in public safety, as well as Parkland Golf & Country Club staff, for their support during the Stoneman Douglas and North Broward Preparatory proms. There were zero incidents and traffic was much better this year. Udine also thanked everyone for their continued participation in Relay for Life. In the short number of years Parkland has worked with the association, we have raised more than $1 million dollars. 6. PROCLAMATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS A. BROWARD COUNTY JUNIOR ROTC CADET OF THE YEAR Mayor Udine presented Kyle Ramos with a certificate of recognition for being named Broward County Junior ROTC Cadet of the Year. The Junior ROTC partnership between the United States Department of Defense and Broward County Public Schools is in its 43 rd year and has involved more than 100,000 cadets. It is the largest Junior ROTC program in the nation. The program enables participants to think logically and communicate effectively, demonstrates the importance of physical fitness and good health, underscores the importance of academics for a successful future, and develops the skills necessary to work effectively as part of a team. Stoneman Douglas senior Kyle Ramos has excelled in all of these categories. He was honored only after competing against more than 3,000 cadets in Broward County and after two selection interview boards. Candidates were evaluated on their academic performance, demonstrated leadership, community service, school involvement, and their Junior ROTC participation. Through the rigorous selection process Cadet Major Kyle Ramos was named the Broward County Junior ROTC 2016 Cadet of the Year. This recognition earned him a promotion to Cadet Colonel and he will be assigned to the position of Regimental Commander. B. STONEMAN DOUGLAS BRAIN BRAWL Mayor Udine presented students from Stoneman Douglas High School, and team leader Lisa Hitchcock, with a certificate of recognition for their participation in the Broward County Brain Brawl. The Brain Brawl Competition encompasses all academic subjects including art, music, language arts, math, science, and social studies. The competition is a double elimination tournament with weekly matches that lead to a final championship match. The purpose of this healthy competition is to create enthusiasm for scholarships and to encourage a concern for character development. That concept is facilitated by the Brain Brawl team s affiliation with National Honors Society chapters at the high school level. The Stoneman Douglas Brain Brawl team is no stranger to success, but this year they were even more successful than usual. After winning the North Area competition they beat American

This year they are the Outstanding Key Club for Division 23A and they are a Distinguished Club in the Florida District at the Diamond Level. Among the accomplishments that led to this honor are their having completed 3,016 service hours on projects including... an annual Pleasure Walk to benefit S.O.S.

D. JOANNA ZHUANG NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLAR Mayor Udine presented JoAnna Zhuang with a certificate of recognition. JoAnna is one of just 1,000 distinguished high school seniors in the United States who have won corporate-sponsored National Merit Scholarships. Scholars were selected from students who advanced to the Finalist level in the National Merit Scholarship competition. JoAnna was one of just 36 Broward County Public Schools students to be named semi-finalists. As a testimony to the A-rated school that Stoneman Douglas High School is, seven of the 36 Broward semi-finalists were from Stoneman Douglas. We recognized those semi-finalists here in October and we re proud to have JoAnna back as a National Merit Scholar. Congratulations to Stoneman Douglas High School, to all of JoAnna s teachers, to her parents who have guided her, but most of all congratulations to JoAnna for her commitment to her academics. 7.
