Dodd sent in an e-mail asking for extension info after meeting with Minto reps…as each commissioner did…we hear Minto is looking for some changes and could face some challenges…with the scrapped Overlay Districts…the impending lowering of heights per the Mc-Furths…Does Minto realize they gave the “keys” to the VFD “drill site” (Minto construction site on west side of El Mar) to the very group that will keep them boxed in with new height restrictions if they get their way?…Also conflict of Interest should arise if the “2-Hats” vote on any changes after using the Minto sites for the VFD…Hmmmm….. As for the applicants on the agenda today……”Who ya gonna vote for in March, Baby?”….

a. Commission selection of contractor and award of RFP 09-07-02 -Parking
Citation Processing Services (Assistant Town Manager Olinzock) Deferred at
the September 10, 2009 Commission meeting by Commissioner Clottey
BC- This is the 1st RFP to watch to find out why it was ludicrous for the Town Manager to stop opening up the sealed bids…as was done prior to July 29 2009… Despite the uninformed “Gang of 3” and the Vice Mayor’s Oct. 23rd assertions showing once again his medications must be impairing his ability to retain information, or perhaps it’s his usual aversion to doing his homework rearin’ it’s head again…We had the staff themselves produce the fact that most towns open both ITB/RFPs …and since an overwhelming number of companies send their reps to these opening you know it is standard…again staff doesn’t want to read “all the numbers”…lay the sheets out on the table for the bidders to get the info they need…10/23/09 Sentinel 2 RFPs for Deerfield Beach both will be “opened and read aloud.”… A look at the backup on this one shows some interesting comparisons…check out backup page 110…
b. Discussion and/or action regarding draft Resolution 2009-23 concerning
street names in Bel Air (Commissioner Clottey) Deferred at the September
10, 2009 Commission meeting by Commissioner Clottey Deferred at the

• Gemini
• Basin Drive LLC
• 4344 LLC (4344 E. Tradewinds Ave)
• 4244 LLC (4346 E. Tradewinds Ave)
• Windjammer Resort and Beach Club
BC- last time the commission wanted to drop the cost of the hardship permits for CIC emebers in the audience at the 10/13/09 meeting…will they now that opponents will get the decrease as well?…
b. Discussion and/or action regarding the price of Employee Parking Permits
(Vice Mayor Mclntee)
BC- no backup except for the approval and list of charges…This writer still has a PRR for when the commission voted on lowering the residential annual pass to be the same as the beach …and now we are going to what further reduce parking fees across the board?…Anybody see what the ord. changes are costing us?… On this one with a 17.50 chg. it has to be location the VM is addressing…
c. Discussion and/or action -Bike riders riding in packs on A1A and interfering
with traffic flow (Commissioner Clottey)
BC- we had a resident speaking on this last meeting..too many bikers across the road in the morning riding “packs”…a new BSO sign with a warning has shown up around town…and who’s gonna go after the morning clubs?…
d. Discussion and/or action -Hillsboro Inlet (Commissioner Clottey)
BC- What’s with Comm. Clottey..she too have trouble with meds…she’s no longer just a “pawn” for the Mc-Furths…she’s an active willing participant…just watch her go after Comm. Dodd at the Oct. 23, 2009 Manager review…at last night’s Referendum workshop about the ethics being VFD only…and now the Hillsboro Inlet…Comm. Dodd gets his ins. only… a pointy brought up when Mayor Parker was reinstated shortly before he stepped down. It was VM McIntee who promoted Dodd for the position…since then CIC Pres. Boib Roberts has been a regular PRR gatherer on all things Hillsboro Inlet and then acted in his own BTSTimes (he’s an Editor) as just a resident “letter writer” on his ongoing quest… If the “Gang” replace Comm. Dodd on Hillsboro…he will join Comm. Silverstone and Comm. Clottey in getting his health ins. from the Town!…OOPS!… We hear that Comm Clottey has been approaching new candidates and telling them to run…Hmmm…careful …not all are “clueless”…
e. Town Commission authorization to short list the three (3) lowest responsive
proposers for the Public Safety Complex -Police Office Improvements, RFP
# 09-08-01, and to allow Town Manager to negotiate contract agreement for
construction of work (Assistant Town Manager Olinzock)
BC- RFP #2 that was a travesty…it was late in being available to the companies and id not allow them to turn in their bond bids within 10 days…(prev. post) …It was handed over at an additional cost for our contracted engineer to do the work and for the “expert” response back…that the lowest bidder is from Naples and might be too far away for the job/ and the change orders run 5-15% per (actually one was 17.5%)…and need some negotiation….thus the request for the TM to “negotiate”… another “fallout ” from TMbeing so obstinent!…
