Free Smoke Detectors Are Available


The City of Lauderhill provides free battery operated smoke detectors to single family and duplex occupancies.

The Florida Fire Prevention Code requires single station 110 volt smoke detectors with a standby battery for multi-family occupancies. This requirement became code in 1989 and was enforced throughout the City. Therefore, the city does not provide those types of detectors. Residents who live in multi-family occupancies should already have the required detector.

For single family and duplexes you can request a smoke detector by going to http://www.lauderhill-fl.gov/, and click on to the Fire Department page smoke detector program link, or you can call the fire department headquarters at 954-730-2950. All requests for smoke detector assistance are responded to by our Fire Prevention Bureau.

I'm OK. Are You?

It was brought to my attention that several people have been worried for me. You see, last Thursday I had some surgery at Florida Medical Center to fix my nose so I can breath. The Doctor said it was pretty bad and needed to be done. The post surgery report confirmed he was absolutely correct. So to ease concerns, I was asked to put something on my web page to explain the situation, and avoid further worry.

As you would expect, I notified those that needed to know, so that matters could be attended to in my absence. They were also updated on my recovery. Vice Mayor Benson conducted a Commission Meeting. Unfortunately, I could not attend a funeral of a close resident of our city, Sol Siegler, who just passed away. Fortunately, while I was up for it, like now, I have been in limited phone contact, and quite a bit of Internet contact, with anyone who contacted me, including residents. Therefore, I still have been able to keep in touch and get a lot of work done.

At this point, for those that were concerned, I am fine and recovering quickly as expected. I will be returning back to work with a limited schedule Thursday and Friday. By next week, I will run a full schedule.

I appreciate those that contacted me to ask how I was doing, and for those that expressed concern for me. Thank you.

Notes of the CRA and Regular Commission Meeting of March 9

On March 9, the City Commission met as the CRA board and also held a Regular Commission Meeting:

The following are some points of interest from those meetings:

CRA MEETING:

1) NEILSON CLARITAS CIVIC IQ - Discussion on hiring this company to analyzes businesses that would fit best into Lauderhill, and we could recruit. Specifically targeted to retail. The program is to work with a level of property landlords to help them in their marketing and targeting. Estimated cost of $19095.

2) CDBG BUSINESS GRANT PROGRAM Proposed creating a new small business startup assistance plan similar to first-time homebuyers programs. Could be allocated up to $50,000 from CDBG funds. There would be requirements to qualify for the grants. Discussion was to expand it to existing businesses, and possibly targeting particular business objective, i.e., creating jobs, and doing refunding specific targets after the business has completed the goal or objective.

3) NEW MARKETS TAX CREDIT APPLICATION - Lauderhill is applying for it again this year. Though we scored well, it was considered too narrow, and we will be expanding our application in conjunction with other cities. There is $5 Billion assigned, with a new $1.5 Billion available. In 2010 it is increased to $7 Billion. Our application will be for $100 Million of credits.

The Federal Stimulus Bill and Lauderhill

A few weeks ago the President signed a new Federal Stimulus Bill (ARRA), providing significant funding to a variety of government, public and private programs. The City of Lauderhill, being a direct entitlement city, is a recipient of these funds. One of the requirements of the bill is to, as quickly as possible, stimulate the economy by getting the funding out, and spending it quickly.

The bill provides a variety of possible sources of funds, and a very limited description on how the funds are to be spent from each category. This is posing a challenge to governments, including Lauderhill. However, with the incredible coordination of city staff, we are working to obtain every dollar we are entitled to, and to do this as quickly as the federal government requires.

The city is not qualified for every source, and beyond a few areas, it is very unclear as to whether we will receive funding. To date, we have sorted out some of it. What we know right now is that we are going to receive:

Byrne JAG Law Enforcement Grant $264, 217
CDBG $219,266

While we haven't been told exactly how much, we are expecting to receive funds through the MPO to build 9 Bus Shelters around the city. We also expect to get an unknown amount of funding for an Energy Block Grant program. Plans on Energy Grant are ongoing, even though we do not know how much they may be, when they must be spent by, and what are the guidelines for spending it. However, given the time constraints, we want to be prepared to move as quickly as possible

Competitive grants that we are applying for are to build a new Fire Station on 31st Ave., possibly additional funds from the Energy Block Grant and funds to build our Reverse Osmosis Water Plant. At this time it is too difficult to project much more, but as matters develop more announcements will be made.

There is also a grant program for weatherization available directly to homeowners. Little information is available on this program, except it will be run through the State. There are certain limitations on income levels to qualify.

Dolphins Mock 2009 NFL Draft

Since everyone else is debating the next great sports question, "Who will the Dolphins Draft?" I thought I would chime in on the subject.

The Dolphins have the 25th pick in the 1st round, 44th and 56th picks in the 2nd round, 87th pick in the 3rd round, 121st Pick in the 4th round, and 153rd pick in the 5th round. There are more picks beyond the 5th round, but that is where you pick up some players that whatever is best that is left on the board, the "late rounds." Essentially its guessing by that time.

Where are the Dolphins critical needs for now, near future and 3 to 4 years down the line?

On the Defense:

Since the Dolphins have signed their Safeties, that need will be moved to the 3 to 4 years down the line. However, they still may pick up someone in the 3rd to 5th round. Cornerbacks are an immediate need now, and I think the Dolphins will pick up a CB in the first 3 rounds, plus possibly another in a late round.

Both Inside and Outside Linebackers are a near future need, so this is a definite in the first few rounds. Because it takes a few years to learn the position Defensive Lineman are near future, though the Nose Tackle could be now (1st or 2nd round).

On the Offensive:

Wide Receiver is both now and near future. Figure drafting one in the first 3 rounds (probably not the 1st round). The Dolphins have stabilized their Offensive Line with resignings and Free Agents, so, with the exception of the Center, they are a bit later in need. I figure a Center to be in round 3 to 5 (mostly likely not the 3rd).

At Quarterback, only a 3rd stringer is needed (and I am assuming that Beck will somehow be gone). Unless they find a QB like Pat White that may be also a WR, don't expect to see one picked until late in the draft. Running Back, Tight Ends aren't that great a need, but you never know. Considering the higher needs of the draft, look more towards the 5th and later rounds.

Kicker and Punters are probably going to be free agents since we don't have that many draft picks.

So what do I see for the first couple of picks. At the 25th selection there should be some potentially excellent talent. I believe it will be between Aaron Maybin-DE/OLB, Brian Cushing-OLB, Vontae Davie-CB, Peria Jerry-DT, DJ Moore-CB, Clay Matthews-OLB, James Laurinaitis-ILB, and Larry English-DE/OLB,. Notice they all play defense. Why? Cause we have rebuilt our offensive line, and for the value, there are some pretty good Wide Receivers that should be there in the next round or two. It is also possible they may trade this pick for another low 2nd round pick and a late 3rd or early 4th round pick.

My guess, if they don't trade the pick, is whoever is the left by the 25th pick in the order I listed is it. Now, if any of these players are left by our 1st pick in the second round, then I would go for them there. However, by the 44th pick, they all should be gone. If we do not pick up Peria Jerry-DT, then the 44th pick should be Ron Brace-DT as a need now pick. If they are not available, then Clint Sintim-OLB would be my selection if we have not already picked a OLB. Sean Smith-CB would be next if we hadn't already picked a CB.

The second pick in the second round is where I would look to my first possible Wide Receiver, Kenny Britt or Brian Robiskie, in that order. If they are not available, and we hadn't got a DT by this time, then Terrance Taylor would be my choice. However, Terrance could also be available at our pick in the 3rd round, so I might wait. The next value Wide Receiver is Juaquin Iglesias and he could be moved up to this point if the need is that great.

By the 3rd round it gets to be very difficult to project. Mainly it depends upon what we and others have already drafted. At that point, we look for the greatest need for what we haven't selected. Still on the board could be Victor Harris-FS/CB, William Moore-SS, Juaquin Iglesias-WR, Connor Barwin-DE/OLB, Mike Mickens-CB, Captain Munnerlyn-CB, and Fili Moala-DE/DT. I would put them in this order.

In the 4th and 5th round, the order would be Sammie Lee Hill-NT, Chris Baker-NT, Jonathan Luigs-C, Nic Harris-SS, Morgan Trent-CB, Daniel Holtzclaw-ILB, and Vance Walker-DE/DT for positions we haven't yet taken, or need some backup plans.

As we get closer, I probably will update my list. However, this is a start and I am sure others have their own opinions.
