Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting February 23, 2011 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Commissioner Aelion asked how this can be enforced, and City Attorney Ottinot said that the resident would file a complaint with the City, and if the invoice or contract doesn't have the permit fees itemized as a separate line item, they could be penalized with a $500 fine. Mayor Edelcup explained that this Ordinance is being proposed because there have been many instances where contractors have gone to their customer and claimed that they were being charged by the City for the permit fee, and the fee they were charging the customer included a markup by the contractor. He said it would help if the residents would help the City in policing this, and once it is known throughout the City, he is sure they will comply. City Attorney Ottinot said that the City Manager will put a notice on the 3rd Floor on this. Mayor Edelcup said it would be helpful if the condo associations would put a notice in their own building informing residents that a separate line item must be disclosed on any invoice or proposal being submitted to them, and between the City and the customer, we can bring compliance into this form. Vice Mayor Thaler also suggested that an article be put into the newspaper relating to this, and Commissioner Aelion said it should be put into the informational booklet being prepared by staff with all the fees as well. Commissioner Scholl moved and Commissioner Aelion seconded a motion to approve the proposed ordinance on first reading. The motion was approved by a roll call vote of 5- o in favor. Second reading, public hearing will be held on Thursday, March 17,2011, at 6:30 p.m. Vote: Commissioner Aelion yes Commissioner Gatto yes Commissioner Scholl yes Vice Mayor Thaler yes Mayor Edelcup yes 7B.
