The Hollywood City Commission held a regular meeting on December 10, 2025, at City Hall, beginning at 1:00 PM with a recess and resumption at 4:00 PM. The meeting covered routine consent items, several public hearings on land use and code amendments, and a contentious land use plan amendment for a beachfront property. The commission voted 5-2 to approve the first reading of a change to allow residential development on the community center site, despite strong public opposition.
All right, welcome. Thank you all so much. Today is December 10th, 2025. And as you know, we are here for a regular city commission meeting. But like I often like to say, um, it's never a regular meeting because there's always important and fun uh items uh that we have uh the opportunity to uh consider here at the city commission. And so at the start of each meeting, we begin with a moment of silence. So as you rise today for the moment of silence, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Uh please keep in mind uh any special someone that uh may have been lost in the recent past that you might want to think of I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the public for which is saying one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you so much. Thank you all. Uh an important moment we also take at the start of each commission meeting is to recognize our veterans, active service personnel, and their families. So if you are a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces or active member or a family member thereof, please rise. We'd love to recognize you. Thank you. All right, roll call, please, Clerk Commissioner Kaleri. Here. Commissioner Garouber. Here. Commissioner Bieterman. Here. Vice Mayor Cuntana? Here. Commissioner Shoeham. Here. Commissioner Hernandez. Here. Mayor Levy. Here. All right. Today's consent agenda includes items five through twenty-two. These are items that don't usually require individual discussion, however, if a member of the commission or the public wishes for us to speak uh to an item specifically, we're happy to remove it for discussion later in the meeting. Pat, are there any speaker cards on five through twenty-two? No cards. From the body. I'll accept a motion. Second. We have a motion from Commissioner Kollery and a second from Commissioner Hernandez to pass the consent agenda. Items five through twenty-two. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed. Hearing none, those items carry unanimously. All right, on to our 115 times certain item. It is not 115 just yet, Clerk. So we're gonna skip 23. We're gonna skip 24 because it's a 130. Let's head over into our uh regular agenda. Uh is Clive Taylor here yet? Not yet.
