Welcome to the Broward County Planning Council Monthly Meeting, webcast live from the Broward County Government Center, located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The fundamental role of the council is to promote coordinated, comprehensive, long-range planning throughout Broward County through the joint cooperation and participation of local governments, public officials, and private citizens. And now, the monthly meeting of the Broward County Planning Council.
We'll be starting the meeting in two minutes.
Thank you.
Okay.
Thank you.
Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Yes, I have it right here.
You're patient zero.
I'm what?
Patient zero. Oh, that means, oh, I'm first? Well, because I just said, I'm just going to put you on, you're going first anyway. Yeah, after you. Right, exactly. Right. Yeah. Okay. So we have 19.
So you've got a lot of speakers.
We have 19 speakers. Yeah. But I think one of them is Ray Lynn. No? She was questions only. I was questions only. Yeah. Okay. Good. Perfect. Thank you. Mr. Chair, Mayor Ryan is participating online, and Mayor Gomez indicated that she's on her way in. I sent her the Zoom link in case she wanted to hop on if the meeting is starting.
Fantastic. I'm just going to wait for Commissioner Newbold to come back, and here comes Mayor Gomez now. Perfect. So 30 seconds or so, we'll start this meeting.
Mayor Ryan, we'll start in about 30 seconds. We see you online.
Okay, we have Mr. Rosenoff online and Mayor Ryan online.
Fantastic. Okay.
Mayor Gomez is logging off.
Now you're offline. Just like that. Perfect. Okay, you made it. All right, we are going to call. Are you ready, Barb? You ready? Perfect. We are going to call the February 26, 2026 Broward County Planning Council meeting to order. Everyone please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Angelo, will you please lead us? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you very much. So good morning, everyone. Karen, will you please call the roll?
Ms. Jessica Abramson? Mayor Felicia Brunson? Here. Mayor Angelo Castillo? Here. Dr. Morady Fernandez? Commissioner Lamar P. Fisher?
Here.
Mr. Adam M. Geller?
Here.
Mayor Michelle J. Gomez?
Good morning.
Ms. Ryan Greenberg?
Present.
Mayor Rex Hardin?

Councilmember Denise Appleby-Horland? Here. Mayor Josh Levy?
Here.
Commissioner Letitia Newbold?
Here.
Mayor Jackie Raley? Good morning. Mr. David Rosenoff? Mayor Michael J. Ryan?
Go ahead, Barbara, do you want to say something?
Mr. Rosanoff and Mary Ryan are online. They can't hear the sound right now, so we're just checking technical. I just want to let you know that's why they're not responding. Thank you.
School board member Alan Zeman.
Here.
Mr. Thomas H. DiGiorgio Jr.
Here. Welcome, everybody. We'll get right into it. Ms. Blake Boyd, a consent agenda.
Good morning. The only addition to the consent agenda is an additional excused absence request from Dr. Morady-Fernandez, and that's the only additional material.
Excellent. Mr. Chair, I'd like to move the consent agenda. Second. We have a motion from Mayor Castillo and a second from Dr. Zeman. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. Okay. Ms. Boyd, I believe... I believe we want to move R1 to the end of the meeting after PH1 and PH2. Is that correct?
Yes. I would like to just say that there are no – well, I'll say it when we get to that part. Yes. That's what staff would ask is for PH1 and PH2 to be moved before R1. Yes. Yes.
No, you're going to move that to the end. We're going to do your reports first.
Right. We still have the council's report and the executive director's report, which are very, very brief, if anything.
So without exception, we'll move that to the end. Council's report will be very brief. I'm going to wait to the end of the legislative session to go over everything, because certain things are in flux. And in the interest of time, I will provide the report next month. Fantastic. Now we're at R3.
