In the midst of all of the controversy at last night's commission meeting, I wish to commend my fellow Commissioners for supporting my (our) retainment of the Cooper City Elementary School Resource Deputy (SRD) in the coming budget.
I sincerely believe that all of my colleagues on the dais were supporting the same important issue for the same reasons, and we came to an important decision, commitment and mandate to the Office of the City Manager.
I have seen the damage done to our city which compelled me to take on the challenge of becoming a Commissioner. We need to stress and continue the proper business of government and work together for the good of Cooper City and its residents. I hope my colleagues continue to agree...

City makes Family Circle top 10
BY LISA BOLIVAR
A national magazine has taken the measure of Cooper City and found it lives up to its motto, Something Special. Family Circle, due on newsstands Tuesday, has named Cooper City one of the top 10 places in the country to raise a family. It lists the city seventh after Castle Rock, Colo.; Diamond Bar, Calif.; Morton Grove, Ill.; Cedar Park, Texas; Derby, Kan.; and Kennesaw, Ga.; Madison, Mo.; Franklin, Mass.; and Chanhassen, Minn., finish the list.
Family Circle hired On Board, a New York research firm that provides real estate and demographic data, to look at 1,850 cities nationwide with populations of 15,000 to 150,000 and median incomes of $65,000. They narrowed the list to about 800, and Family Circle staff further evaluated cities on family-friendly criteria, including cost of living, jobs, schools, healthcare, air quality, green space and crime rates.
''Cooper City was one that kind of popped to the top,'' Editor in Chief Linda Fears said.
This is the first time the magazine has created the list, Fears said. 'We figured even though there are a lot of lists around, such as the best cities for making money, all sorts of `best' things, none of us have ever seen a list for great places to raise your family,'' she said.
Being named in the list comes as no surprise to Cooper City Mayor Debby Eisinger, who announced the honor at the June 13 commission meeting. ''This is exactly why I moved here 17 years ago, when my eldest was not yet 4 and I was pregnant with my second one,'' Eisinger said, adding a ``Yahoo!'' And while the rest of Broward County has been growing in both construction and crime rates, Cooper City has managed to maintain a hometown feel, Eisinger said.
''My ultimate response to the city from the first day I moved here was this is a community that is about great sports and recreation, safe streets and wonderful schools, and that is what brings families here,'' she said.
THE ATMOSPHERE
It is the hometown atmosphere that brought Paul Blackinton, 47, back. ''I've lived in Cooper City for 31 years, went to Cooper City High School. . . . My mom's still here,'' Blackinton said, adding that he has moved elsewhere but came back to raise his family. ``We've been billed as a bedroom community. There's a real sense of community here where neighbors have met out in the street.'' Blackinton described his community as one that cares for its own. ''During the hurricanes, even before emergency response teams arrived, the neighbors were clearing the way and making sure everyone was all right,'' he said. ``That is the type of community we have.''
SPECIAL SERVICE
Fears said one city service in particular caught her eye, making it a must for being included among the top 10. ''Part of our hope in doing this list was there would be surprises,'' Fears said. "One thing we found out about Cooper City is that they helped people who have lost trees from storms or hurricanes. They replaced the trees for free, and we thought that was really neat.''
And like Blackinton, Fears was impressed with the city's ''it takes a village'' culture.
''A lot of parents work, so you have to depend on your neighbors. You have to have people who care about your kids as much as you do,'' Fears said. ``And now with everyone caring about the environment and a place like Cooper City that cares about the outdoors, with the fact that they replaced the trees, that is an awesome perk.''

Land Surveys in Cooper City
Tampa Bay Engineering (TBE) has been performing land surveys in Cooper City for the past few weeks. I have seen them set up on Griffin Road, 90th Avenue and several side streets, including S.W. 49th Street. I have been advised by Mike Bailey, the City Engineer, that FDOT is updating their roadway maps and 'TBE' is establishing corners, etc., back into some of the side streets off Griffin Road. They are not surveying for construction, just for FDOT mapping purposes.

The Ugly Antenna Pole is History
FYI...Trevor Thomas from BECON did a probe at Griffin Elementary this morning to find a new location for the antenna pole. They were able to find an adequate signal in a new location adjacent to the side parking lot on the north side of the school. It is not near any homes and should be a good resolution to the problem, providing the new location passes soil boring testing and does not conflict with existing underground utilities. Mrs. Novotny was present and agreed that the new location was suitable. The old adage applies here...do it right the first time! I am glad I was able to resolve this issue. I want to thank the homeowners in the area for attending my town hall meeting and placing their trust and confidence in me to get the job done forthwith. I will continue to monitor the issue!

The obsessive authority...
The Mayor is only supposed to control the meeting, not the agenda. The residents and public, along with other commission members, must control the agenda. The only way to reinforce meaningful reform is to see if this mayor allows the aforesaid. I am up to the challenge and committed to wipe out control of the agenda by one person.
Based on the 'new' attitude by the mayor, after stressing the issue in the workshop, which stemmed from my town hall meeting, the following is now reality...
"Presentations will be limited to three minutes. Comments may address any issue including items on this agenda, provided that if a person wishes to speak on an item designated for public hearing, their comments should be held until the public hearing is opened by the Mayor. There will be a thirty-minute aggregate time limit for this item. Other public discussion will be permitted under "Open Public Meeting." Public input during Public Hearings shall be limited to three minutes per person."
At least its a political step in the right direction, albeit a small one...

More Landmark Changes Made At City Hall...
As you will notice, there are some more positive changes being made to the way we conduct our commission meetings. From Tuesday night on, citizens comments will be allowed to address any issue including items on both the consent agenda and the regular agenda.
This was an idea of mine which stemmed from my Town Hall Meeting agenda that I am glad to see the mayor has instituted. I am sure you will be glad too! This is a tremendous step in the right direction for our residents, business owners, investors and developers to be heard on any and all issues. This is just one small step in the right direction of turning our meetings back to the citizen's to whom they belong.
The fact that a few recent landmark and stunning changes have been made due to my pressure, leads me to believe that this administration is outright grasping for approval. Hopefully this change was not a mere political move by the 'old administration' in preparation for the upcoming election.

Expense Reports...
The Cooper City staff should compile a report of credit card usage and/or reimbursement by elected officials and city staff and employees, and post it on the city website. In the interest of making this public record available to the public as soon as possible, I'm giving you exactly what you asked for without the benefit of any particular analysis...accountability. All of the charges which are called into question should have a logical explanation.
There should be a few apparent lapses which are for the most part where I expect they might be, for example: the wining and dining on the taxpayer's dime for the past fifteen years before Commission meetings.
But, not taking into consideration the errors and omissions dealing with the administration and elected officials, the rest of the department reports should, for the most part, be pretty mundane. I think the city needs to reconsider whether our policies are appropriate of providing food for public events and meals while employees and elected officials work or meet under any circumstance. Also, we need to look at whether our policy for paying for meals during which city business is conducted at any function whatsoever needs to be changed and omitted. The 'slush fund' must be destroyed...
My conclusion for moving forward is that we need to change procedures so that future public records requests can be filled immediately without delay or excuses, and a detailed list of those requests should also be posted on the city website for all to see. A detailed explanation should be immediately available, with supporting documentation, including those requested by anyone outside of law enforcement. Every charge must be explained in the detailed report even if it takes several weeks, and hundreds of staff hours to produce the report. City leadership also needs to lead by example, and reform our method of operation as well. We shall see if the city is willing to be an open and honest government.

Agenda Items Now Have Associated Info Available
FINALLY! The 'webmaster' put links to the supporting Commission Agenda information on the Cooper City Website based on my comments, pressure and residents concerns regarding the lack of communication and information, which stemmed from my Town Hall Meeting.
Now...that wasn't so difficult was it?

My Town Hall Meeting of April 23rd
To those of you who were able to make it to my Town Hall meeting this evening, thank you! To those of you who could not attend, I hope to see you next month! My Town Hall meeting schedule is on my website at http://www.johnbsims.com/townhall.htm . I thought it was very well performed and I had a great turnout considering it was not advertised. There had to be 20 to 25 people all who obviously feel the same way about lack of communication and genuine consideration of residents concerns by the city staff and administrators.
Issues such as the agenda, commission meeting protocol, consent agendas, Senior Advisory Counsel, Community Appearance Board, meeting web casts, Comcast, the boat ordinance, speed bumps (or lack thereof), traffic violations and lack of enforcement, the House & Senate debate regarding property taxes, loss of revenues, increasing revenues without raising taxes or millage, mid-year budget review, pension funds, unfunded liabilities, city maintenance, city budget, the city website, the BSO contract, community appearance, homeowner's association complaints, city salaries and employee perks, the duck issue, Diamond Head construction damage, Monterra, code enforcement, and e-mail to residents, were all discussed at length. I even allowed dialogue between residents to learn more about their issues, which turned out to be very enlightening and informative.
I will address each and every one of these issues in more detail, and with the entire Commission, at future public forums. Make sure that you keep abreast of the issues and the agenda items which can be found on the city's website at http://www.coopercityfl.org/ You can also subscribe to my E-Newsletter at http://www.johnbsims.com/subscribe.shtml
Although time was limited, I think our first meeting was very positive, productive, open, and orderly. The coffee and snacks were great!
Please contact me if you have any other concerns or issues that I can address, as I want to listen and take action! Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing you at my next Town Hall meeting on Monday, May 21st at 7 PM.
Best Regards,
John Sims, Cooper City Commissioner

My Boat and RV Ordinance Proposal
Regarding the Boat and RV ordinance. I have proposed to be on the agenda and at the workshop that there be NO registration fee, yearly fee or permit. The rest of the ordinance will stay intact and remain. People want to be left alone without gov’t interference. Fact is, the city can’t charge twice for the same vehicle to be registered. The fee is Double Taxation. Motor Vehicles and Vessels are only subject to one form of taxation per Advisory Legal Opinion (AGO-74-128). The argument that code enforcement works FOR the people holds true here as they are already paid to do their job.
There needs to be strong adherence to the inform, warn & cite process by Code Enforcement. Due Process of Law provides the People Redress of Grievances against their government in an open, honest and complete manner without any appearance of impropriety. The People's unalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness, include but are not limited to:
The Right to acquire, possess, and protect personal and real property;
The Right to be secure from intrusion; and
The Right to privacy
The residents will no longer tolerate being "alienated" by this administration regarding boats and RV's...or any other civil and God given rights enumerated by our Constitution, that we all swore to defend and uphold.

Implementation of a Senior Advisory Counsel
You all now know it's time for us all to get serious about our economy, about building successful relationships and businesses large and small, and making good jobs more plentiful across the whole city and that it is just as critical to get serious about economic justice. You know that it's time to get serious about delivering both internal and external quality customer service, and dealing once and for all with escalating taxes, fees and costs.
Make no mistake; this city administration is about leadership that strives to serve our residents long-term interests in stronger, healthier, safer and more prosperous communities. We need the best ideas, professionalism, life experiences and the best people from all comers, young, old, blue collar, professionals, Democrats, Independents, and Republicans, to help turn our city around. The main resource of these should be the seniors in out city.
Therefore, I want to implement a Senior Advisory Counsel which will serve and practical and professional counsel to the city staff. I want to set up a meeting ASAP and I would like to ask Chief Hale if the services and professionalism of Cindy Healey and Linda Victor would be available to help initiate the preliminary stages of this initiative...
This Advisory Panel will help manage and help the city to be more effective in planning programs for the city & our seniors.

The Cops on Bikes Program
The Cops on Bikes program will be implemented as soon as training is completed. Bicycles were obtained by a grant. Details are printed in the Spring edition of Cooper City News and Views.
Thank You from Timberlake Residents
Commissioner Sims, and Mr. Farrell; Many residents have asked me to offer a big “thank you” to you for cleaning up the entrance to Timberlake.
Traffic Study
I was able to get a new traffic study implemented for the intersection of 90th Avenue and Stirling Road at the Diamond Head entrance. As I stressed, even though the Broward DOT may not be willing to change the light, its not what they want, but what the residents demand to keep them safe and avoid accidents. This is a bad intersection and the safety issue needs to be resolved. I know...I have almost been hit three times at that intersection just this past week!
