I am a 12-year resident of the City of Aventura and am currently starting my 5th year as president of the One Island Place Condominium in Aventura. I have no children or grandchildren who attend either of the Aventura charter schools. I think my background and skills in education and business would make me an ideal and excellent candidate to work with the DSAHS Advisory Board to review and assist policies,goals, and budgets. First,overview of some past history: After graduating Boston University with my master's degree in education as a Reading Specialist, I taught Reading, Language Arts and Social Studies,grades 9-12, at Westwood High School, Westwood, MA for 5 years. Shortly thereafter, I moved to the North Miami. FL area and switched gears by working for some major real estate developers in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.I also served on the North Miami Parks and Recreation Commission and was instrumental in obtaining land, getting city funding, and opening/planning a new park in the Sans Souci area of that city. I worked with the commission to also refresh, remodel,and refurbish some of the older parks and recreation areas. More than a decade later I returned to teaching. I went through the ranks at Pioneer Middle School, Cooper City, FL progressing from a classroom reading and math teacher, to Reading Coach and teacher trainer,to Assistant Principal,and then to Intern Principal.(I also attended FAU while working full time for the necessary leadership classes and state testing this entailed). After 15 years at Pioneer, I was transferred to two Title I schools: Pines Middle School in Pembroke Pines(2 years) and Olsen Middle in Dania Beach (1 year) to round out my professional experience. During that time, I also served on the Governing Board at Imagine Schools Broward in Coral Springs. I became president of that Board and helped guide and monitor the direction of the school,and its policies. Because of my position at Imagine Broward, I was asked to apply for the principal opening at Imagine Charter School at Weston,the flagship school of the 50 plus nationwide schools that Imagine Schools manages and maintains. More recent history: I retired 4 years ago, as a highly effective principal of 1,000 students, from Imagine Charter School in Weston,FL.This high performing 2012 National Blue Ribbon School and 2014 National School of Character serves all students whatever their abilities, background, language, etc. from pre-K through 8th grade. Under my 7-year leadership, not only did we earn those accolades but were consistently and annually in the top three of all K-6 and K-8 schools in Broward County, based on test data and student performance. I answered to the charter school office at Broward County Schools,the school's Governing Board, Imagine Schools, Inc and the State of Florida. Additionally, as a charter school principal I was quite aware of the demands and needs of parents and staff as well."Happy teachers,happy students.Happy students,happy parents".I was awarded principal of the year by the tri-county Charter school group based on my school's performance and National recognition. I went through two SACS accreditation processes during my tenure at Imagine Weston,5 years apart.We scored in the top 5%of schools nationwide,which is not an easy endeavor.One of the areas we excelled in was school culture which encompasses all stakeholders. Our bi-literate, immersive, Spanish language program, for speakers and non-speakers, from K through 8th grade (high school honors credits in the middle school) was also singled out for its innovation and excellence. We were the model for what was eventually adopted by the rest of the Weston schools and then by Broward County schools. As you know, the principal, especially a charter school principal, has a hand in all aspects of the school, for example: the curriculum and standards for all learners, the well-being and welfare of the students/staff,the budget and working within its confines,hiring and training the best teachers and staff, fundraising, ongoing character development, maintaining full enrollment, conducting a yearly lottery, continuous improvement, working with all stakeholders, safety and security, discipline, policies and procedures,effective class and student scheduling,celebrations and recognitions,effective and frequent communication,technology for all and keeping it working and current, meeting the emotional,social and intellectual needs of all learners,fair negotiations and contracts with staff and outside vendors(cleaning, building lease,food service, buses,quality after-school programs,etc.)to name a few. I believe that I am more than qualified and capable to assist Don Soffer Aventura High School's Advisory Board. Thank you for considering me for this opportunity to give back to the community. As you can surmise, I have a strong commitment to education,people,a110nd excellence.If selected, I look forward to working with the advisory board and the school. The above was just a brief outline of what I've experienced and done. I would be happy to discuss further and at length, if requested. If you need references, I will be happy to provide them. R e tfully, Nadine .VVeltman Lah CITY OF "ENTURA OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager Qe DATE: February 17, 2023 SUBJECT: Emergency Replacement of the Government Center Air Conditioning Chillers (City Manager) February 23, 2023 City Commission Workshop Agenda RECOMMENDATION The HVAC chiller units for the rooftop at the Government Center are in need of replacement. Over the past 12 months, we have had to patch and repair various parts of the chiller and computer components for the system to operate properly. The overall wear and tear on these units are causing them to run less efficiently and the overall support structure is weakening. They are due for replacement. BACKGROUND Both units were installed in 2010. Components included new circuit boards, coil coating, and controls for the PC workstations. We replaced the blower fans two years ago so that part of the system is new and will not be due for replacement until 2035. The existing chiller units were not coated properly for coastal climate conditions. Normally, a properly coated system should have a 20-year life span. We currently have a Carrier System and would need to replace it with the same system in order to utilize the connection and saddle (what the units sit on), which will keep the cost down. Due to a long lead time for these units to be built, approximately 18 months, we need to move forward and begin the replacement process now. The estimated cost for the replacement is 1.6 million dollars. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Wasson, City Manager - � DATE: February 17, 2023 SUBJECT: Food Freshness Dates (Commissioner Dr. Marks) February 23, 2023 City Commission Workshop Agenda RECOMMENDATION Commissioner Dr. Marks requested the above matter be placed on the Workshop Agenda for discussion. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. RJW/act Attachment CC03079-23 FOOD MARKING Federal/state regulations: It appears there is no federal regulations requiring product dating except for infant formula and a "pack date" for poultry products and thermally processed, commercially sterile products to help identify product lots and facilitate trace-back activities in the event of a foodborne illness outbreak. see 9 CFR 381.126 and 431.2(e). Moreover, I have not been able to find any state regulations on date marking of food products. I found the flyer at this link from the Florida Department of Agriculture, Division of Food Safety, which states that the FDA Retail Food Code does not preclude the sale of food that is past the expiration date indicated on the label. https://www.fdacs.gov/content/download/65464/file/Expiration-Dates-Flyer.pdf Miami-Dade County preemption: Section 8A-69 of the Miami-Dade Code provides"this article(Article III) shall pertain to all violations hereof within this County and supersedes and nullifies those provisions of any and all municipal ordinances and codes, including those adopted as a County ordinance,which define or penalize any act recognized and declared in this article to be a violation thereof. This article shall not be deemed to supersede or nullify any municipal ordinance imposing additional regulations upon the sale of or advertising of Kosher meats or meat products sanctioned in accordance with Orthodox Hebrew religious requirements." Food products sold at the deli counter of a restaurant, supermarket or convenience store: Section 8A- 98.1 Miami-Dade County Code provides that "it shall be unlawful for any perishable food . . . to be packaged for sale, unless the packager thereof causes to be stamped, printed,or otherwise conspicuously marked on its container or any label affixed thereto a clearly specified,uncoded,calendar date which shall be the terminal shelf life date of the food. This regulation does not treat food products sold at different types of stores differently for the purposes of date marking. Application of Miami-Dade regulations to deli meats: Section 8A-98.1 defines perishable food as fresh packaged perishable meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products, excluding canned, frozen, or vacuum packaged products. Based on this, I think that deli meat would fall under these regulations. Food products sold at deli counters (packaged for sale and prepared to order): Based on the MDC Code, I think these packages should have a terminal shelf life date. Prepacked food versus prepared-to-order food: The Miami-Dade County Code draws no distinction between prepacked deli meats versus a purchase at the deli counter, meaning that a label shall be affixed to both packages identifying the terminal shelf life date of the food.
