Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting December 15. 20 II <br /> <br />11. <br />llA. <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida <br /> <br />so it had to be sent back to the factory in Arizona for those fasteners. It is under warranty <br />and so we are not paying extra for it, he has not heard back from them yet. <br /> <br />Commissioner Scholl said he believes there are three (3) choices: 1) we close the Park; 2) we <br />keep the Park open; or 3) we find a permanent solution, and we fund it and deal with it. He <br />has always advocated to finding a permanent solution, funding it, and dealing with it. He <br />doesn't know what the numbers are, we never got any kind of reasonable scope of what those <br />solutions are. He still advocates whether we spend the $50,000 or not, staff scoping a <br />solution and putting something in front of us so we know what we are voting on. Again, he <br />thinks it is a significant amenity for our children, we are spending $4 Million to expand our <br />school which means more kids will come into this community and more kids will use that <br />facility. He thinks we are being shortsighted by not dealing with the problem head-on. <br /> <br />Mayor Ede1cup said that we did deal with the problem, we had some engineering reports <br />made and the only solution was to enclose the Park which would be the only way to sound- <br />proof it. There were no other solutions that were presented to us by the engineers other than <br />that. He thinks it is unrealistic to assume that it is not going to be a multi-figure dollar cost. <br />He recognizes Commissioner Scholl's position which is you may be willing to spend that <br />money, he doesn't think he would have the votes on this Board to spend that money, and that <br />is why he is saying let's get this over with one way or the other to a straight up or down vote <br />and make the decision tonight so we can move forward. Commissioner Scholl said his point <br />is that we don't have any numbers before us. Commissioner Aelion said in the future can a <br />resident come and raise an issue, and Mayor Ede1cup said let's go back to clarify that <br />question, the Code was to cover construction noise. City Attorney Ottinot said general noise <br />of the City, and obviously we have not applied it to Park noise, if you did, most of the Parks <br />would exceed that decibel level especially when you have activities in the Park, and Mayor <br />Edelcup said yes like games or basketball where you would exceed that decibel level. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gatto moved and Vice Mayor Thaler seconded a motion to approve the <br />resolution to close the Skateboard Park at Town Center Park. Resolution No. 2011- <br />1829 was adopted by a roll call vote of 2-3 [Commissioner Aelion, Vice Mayor Thaler <br />and Mayor Edelcup against] the motion failed to close the Park. <br />Vote: Commissioner Aelion no <br />Commissioner Gatto ~ <br />Commissioner Scholl ~ <br />Vice Mayor Thaler no <br />Mayor Ede1cup no <br /> <br />MOTIONS <br /> <br />Add-On: Call for a Motion to Confirm the Appointment of Fang Oliver, Vice President <br />and the 2012 Designated President ofthe Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce of Miami, and <br />Director of the Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce of North America, as the Sunny Isles <br />Beach International Ambassador to Asia. (Vice Mayor Thaler) <br />[City Clerk's Note: This motion moved to Item J OQ.] <br /> <br />14 <br />
