All right, welcome everyone.

Welcome to City Hall here in the city of Hollywood.

Today is Wednesday, May twentieth, twenty twenty-six.

We are here for a regular city commission meeting, but as I always mention, meetings are never regular, it's always important and interesting substance on the agenda, and today is no different.

Let's please rise for a moment of silence, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, and think about loved ones who we may have lost, or people that are notable in our lives.

We'd love to recognize you.

Commissioner Hernandez.

Anything else from the body.

We have a motion from Vice Mayor Kallery and a second from Commissioner Quintana to approve the balance of the consent agenda.

Items five through fifteen.

Aye.

Any opposed, hearing none.

Those items will carry unanimously.

We'll get to item 10 as quick as we can of the agenda.

I know James Quinn is here with the Rhythm Foundation, so we'll hear from James.

Onward to our 1 p.m.

presentations, proclamations, and awards.

I'm gonna I see a lot of folks here from Hollywood Fire Rescue and Beach Safety.

Welcome everyone.

I'll take it out of order because you all are here.

And let's go ahead and invite uh Chief Levy and company to uh present the and recognize the recipients of the crew accommodation award, Chief.

Good afternoon, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Commissioners, City Manager.

Uh I'd like to ask Chief Devlin, please Chief, come join me, please.

Uh today's uh recognition is not only for the fire, but also for the Hollywood Police Department.

Uh, this particular incident, Chief Mosier is going to read the narrative on.

Was a uh catastrophic accident that happened a few uh probably a few months ago now, where a pedestrian was uh involved in a serious incident.

Um, as you'll hear in a few minutes, uh Hollywood police arrived on scene, started life-saving uh actions, which uh eventually caused this individual to have somewhat of a full recovery and was able to be discharged from the hospital, but they are alive today, which is the most important thing.

Uh this this patient uh you'll hear shortly um received over a hundred units of blood while in the operating room.

That's that's a lot.

They received one unit of blood on scene by fire rescue.

Uh but it's it's also due to the uh heroic actions of our Hollywood Police Department that this patient uh is alive, and we want to recognize these uh police officers and these firefighters.

Very nice.

Good afternoon, Commissioner and City Staff.

I'm Mike Moser, Deputy Fire Chief with Hollywood Fire Rescue.

I'd like to begin by calling up the recipients of this award as I read the accommodation.

Officer Palacios, Officer Pierce, Lieutenant Fernandez, Firefighter Robinson, and firefighter Lopez Kuto to the podium, please.

On February 20th, 2026, Rescue 5 responded to a report of a pedestrian versus a vehicle collision at 901 North Federal Highway.

Upon arrival, crews encountered an adult male who had been struck while seated at a bus stop bench, resulting in catastrophic lower extremity injuries.

Hollywood police department officers arrived and made initial patient contact and immediately applied tourniquets to both lower extremities prior to EMS arrival.

The tourniquets were documented as very effective and remained in place upon transfer of care.

Early bleeding control was crucial intervention in this case.

EMS assessment revealed a complete traumatic amputation below the right knee and a partial traumatic amputation below the left knee.

The patient was awake but in significant distress with hypotension and size of respiratory distress.

A level one trauma alert, the most serious patient category was activated.

Crews initiated spinal immobilization, established IVs, began fluid replacement, and provided advanced airway support.

Diminished breath sounds on the right prompted a decompression effort, which was performed without complication.

During transport, one unit of blood was administered while continuous monitoring and supportive care was maintained.

The patient was transported to Momora Regional Hospital and transferred directly to the trauma team.

Upon arrival, the patient remained hypotensive, however, responsive.

With tourniquets intact and active transfusion ongoing, hospital staff continued their resuscitation efforts in the trauma bay.

The patient was stabilized and admitted to the trauma-intensive care unit.

This incident reflects effective interagency coordination and decisive life-saving actions under extreme circumstances.

Early bleeding control by law enforcement, rapid trauma system activation, and comprehensive pre-hospital care contributed to the patient surviving the initial injuries and reaching that definitive care at the hospital.

This nomination recognizes the responding personnel for their skill, perseverance, and life-saving performance during a highly complex and time critical emergency.

Congratulations.

I'll tell you what, the Memorial Regional Hospital had uh their uh survivors day recognition, uh recognizing the different uh EMS units that operate in South Broward County.

Uh I'll also, of course, recognizing the uh trauma doctors, the nurses that attend to the patients coming in uh and really celebrating and highlighting uh the successes uh when it's a fortunate situation to be able to uh have someone survive a trauma.

It's always uh a very heartwarming thing to see the survivors come in and speak after they've uh you know gone through the most difficult life-threatening uh injury.

So uh pretty amazing, and we're fortunate to uh to have Memorial Regional Hospital uh and the trauma team uh here in Hollywood, and thanks, of course, to EMS in Hollywood uh and our firefighting crew and Hollywood Police as well for you know providing people with that opportunity.

In the end, that's uh the biggest uh sense of pride that I think we can have as a community that entrusts and invests in in the city of Hollywood, and through that, the public safety services that we provide, really it really goes uh the longest way to you know give that sense of uh how important the professionalism and uh and the funding uh that we uh invest into Hollywood Fire Rescue and Hollywood Police uh goes uh it goes uh such a long way in the most important of times for all of us.
