Case No: FEC 12-046

STAF} RECOMMENDATION FOLLO)Y!NG INVESTIGATION 

Pmsuant to section 106 25(4)(c), Florida Statutes, undersigned staff counsel files this 

Wiitten recommendation for disposition of the refimal in this case recommending that there is no 

probable cause to charge Respondent with violating Section 106 19(1)(b), Florida Statutes, and 

there is probable cause to charge Respondent with violating Sections 106.07(5) and 

106.19(1)(c), Florida Statutes. Based upon a thorough review of the Report of Investigation 

submitted on September 4, 2012, the following facts and law support this staff recommendation: 

1 On March 26, 2012, the Flotida Elections Commission received a complaint from 

John B Sims ("Complainant"), alleging that Joshua Kight ("Respondent") violated Chapter 106, 

Florida Statutes 

2 Respondent was the chairman and treasurer for Citizens for Honest and Ethical 

Goveinment, a former political committee (ROI Exhibits 1 & 2i 

3 By letter dated April 30, 2012, the Executive Director notified Respondent that 

Commission staff would investigate the following statutory provisions: 

Section 106.07(5), Florida Statutes: Joshua Kight, chairman and 

treasurer of Citizens for Honest and Ethical Govemment PAC, 

certified his 2010 G4 Campaign T reasm·er Report as true, correct, 

and complete when this report was not, as alleged in the complaint 

Section 106.19(1)(c), Florida Statutes: Joshua Kight, chairman 

and treasurer of Citizens for Honest and Ethical Government PAC, 

falsely reported or deliberately failed to include information on his 

2010 G4 Campaign Treasurer Report as required by Chapter 106, 

Florida Statutes, as alleged in the complaint 

Section 106.19(l)(b), Florida Statutes: Joshua Kight, chairman 

and treasmer of Citizens for Honest and Ethical Government PAC, 

failed to report any contribution required to be reported by Chapter 

106, Florida Statutes on his 2010 04 Campaign Treasurer Report, 

as alleged in the complaint

' 

4 Citizens for Honest and Ethical Govemment ("Committee") filed its Statement of 

Organization of Political Committee and Appointment of Campaign Treasurer and Designation 

of Campaign Depository form ("DS-DE 6) with the Cooper City Clerk's office on October 26, 

2010 Both documents listed Respondent as the Committee's treasurer. I he Statement of 

Organization of Political Committee listed Respondent as the chairman Id 

5 Complainant alleged that Respondent filed campaign reports that were untrue and 

fraudulent, and contained misstatements, including listing a $500 contribution fiom A & J Auto 

Brokers at an address where there is no business As it relates to this case, Respondent, both as 

the Committee's chair and treasurer, certified that the Committee's 2010 04 Report and 2010 

Termination Report were true, correct, and complete, when they were not (ROI Exhibit 3 & 

Attachment 3) 

6 Respondent stated that the address listed on the check is the address he reported 

on his report Respondent provided Commission stafi with a copy of the check, however, 

everything on the check was redacted except for A & J Auto Brokers' name and address (ROI 

Exhibits 3 & 6) 

7 On October 15, 2012, Assistant General Counsel, Jaakan Williams, took 

Respondent's deposition At his deposition, Respondent produced an unredacted copy of the 

contribution check from A & J Auto Brokers However, the check was for $700, not for $500 

that Respondent reported on the Committee's 20 I 0 04 report (Attachment I) 

8 At his deposition, Respondent also produced temporruy check number 097 for 

$200 with the name and address of the Committee handwritten at the top 2 Respondent testified 

that the $200 check was for the excessive amount of the contlibution received from A & J Auto 

B10kers (Attachment "2") 3 It does not appear that Respondent run ended his 2010 04 Report, 

and Respondent failed to report the $200 refund check on the Committee's termination report 

(Attachment "3") 

9 Because Respondent falsely reported the amount of A & J Auto Brokers 

contribution, failed to report the $200 refund to A & J Auto Brokers, certified his 2010 04 and 

20 I 0 Termination Reports were true, conect and complete when they were not, it appears that 

Respondent may have violated Sections 106 .. 07(5), and 106 19(1)(c), Florida Statutes

conclusion that an offense has been committed Department of Highway Safety and Motor 

Vehicles v Favino, 667 So 2d 305,309 (Pia J't DCA 1995) 

II. The above facts show that Respondent was the chaii and treasurer for Citizens fi:>I 

Honest and Ethical Govemment PAC As the treasurer, Respondent filed the Committee's 

campaign reports Respondent ceitified that the Committee's 20 I 0 04 and 20 I 0 Termination 

Reports were true, correct, and complete when they were not While it appears that Respondent 

prope~ly listed the address for A & J Auto Brokers on his 20 I 0 G4 Report, Respondent falsely 

reported that the Committee received a $500 contribution from A & J Auto Brokers instead of a 

$700 cqntiibution on the Committee's 20 I 0 04 report, and Respondent deliberately failed to 

report a $200 refund to A& J Auto Brokers on the Committee's 2010 Iermination Repozt 

Based upon these facts and circumstances, I recommend that the Commission find no 

probable cause to chazge Respondent with violating Section 10619(J)(b), Florida Statutes, and 

to find probable cause to charge Respondent with the following violations: 

Count 1: 


I 06 07(5), Florida Statutes when he certified that Citizens for 

Honest and Ethical Government PAC's 2010 G4 Report was true, 

correct, and complete, when it was not 

Count 2: 


I 06 07(5), Florida Statutes, when he certified that Citizens for 

Honest and Ethical Govemment PAC's 2010 Termination Report 

as true, conect, and complete when it was not 

Count3; 

On or about October 29, 201 0, Respondent violated Section 

J0619(l)(c), Florida Statutes, when he falsely rep01ted 01 

deliberately failed to repoit information required to be reported by 

Chaptez I 06, Florida Statutes on Citizens for Honest and Ethical 

Government PAC's 2010 04 Report 

On or about November 3, 20 I 0, Respondent violated Section 

10619(l)(c), Florida Statutes, when he falsely reported or 

deliberately failed to rep01t information required to be reported by

NOTICE OF PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING 

TO: 



Crawfordville, Fl01ida 32327 

The Honorable John B Sims 

8708 S,W

.----------( 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING 

Please be advised that other cases have been scheduled for the same time Therefore, your case may 

not be called exactly at the time set forth on this notice Please note that this matter may not be 

addressed individually and it may be voted on en masse by the Commission. 

At the probable cause hearing, the Florida Elections Commission will decide whether there is probable 

cause to believe that Respondent has violated one or more provisions of The Florida Election Code 

Respondent, each Complainant, and their counsel are permitted to attend the probable cause hearing. 

The hearing will be conducted pursuant to Section 106 25, Florida Statutes; Chapter 28, Florida 

Administrative Code, the Uniform Rules of Procedures; and Commission Rule 1.0027, Florida 

Administrative Code 

The Commission wiii electronically record the meeting Although the Commission's recording is 

considered the official record of the hearing, the Respondent, at his or her own expense, may provide a 

certified comt reporter also to record the hearing 

Before making a decision on probable cause, the Commission will review the complaint, the Report of 

Investigation, the Staff Recommendation, any written responses submitted by Respondent, all relevant 

documents, and any oral statements made by Respondent and staff at the probable cause hearing. 

When your case is called, the Chair will read a brief statement and may ask Respondent, Complainant, and 

their attorneys, if an attorney is present, to state their names for the record .. 

Staff will then have time to summarize the case and make a recommendation to the Commission on probable 

cause .. After staff's presentation, if the Respondent is present he or she will have time to make a statement to 

the Commission in the natrne of an oral argument 

Pmsuant to Section 1 0625(4), Florida Statutes, Respondent's statement should explain how the staff erred in 

applying the law to the facts enumerated in .the Staff Recommendation Respondent may not testify or call 

others to testi(y or introduce any documentary or other evidence at the probable cause hearing. 

At the probable cause hearing, the Commission is not deciding whether Respondent has violated a provision 

of The Florida Election Code or the amount of the fine. The Commission is only deciding whether 

Respondent should be charged with violating a provision of the election code Before the Commission 

determines whether a violation has occuned or a fine should be imposed, Respondent will have an 

opportunity for a second hearing, where Respondent may testify, call others to testify on his or her behalf; 

and intr·oduce documentary or other evidence that shows Respondent did not commit the violations charged 

After the presentations are concluded, the Commissioners will discuss the case and may ask questions of 

Respondent and staff The Commission's decision on probable cause will be made by a majority vote of 

those members present and voting 

After the Commission decides whether there is or is not probable cause to believe that Respondent violated a 

provision of the election code, the case will become public In some cases, the Commission may not make a 

decision, such as when further investigation is ordered. If the Commission does not make a decision on 

probable cause, the case will remain confidential, unless confidentiality has been waived 

After the Commission meeting, the Commission will send Respondent and Complainant a written order 

reflecting the Commission's decision on probable cause.. If the Commission finds no probable cause, the 

case will be dismissed If the Commission finds probable cause, Respondent will receive instructions on 

how to either settlement the matter or select a hearing before the Commission or the Division of 

Administrative Hearings .. These hearings will determine whether a violation has occuned and whether a fine 

should be imposed. 

If Respondent has not received the Staff Recommendation or if you have any questions about the 

procedures for the probable cause hearing, please contact Donna Malphurs at (850) 922-4539.

there is probable cause to charge Respondent with violating Sections 106.07(5) and 

106.19(1)(c), Florida Statutes. Based upon a thorough review of the Report of Investigation 

submitted on September 4, 2012, the following facts and law support this staff recommendation: 

1 On March 26, 2012, the Florida Elections Commission received a complaint fiom 

John B Sims ("Complainant"), alleging that Joshua Kight ("Respondent") violated Chapter 106, 

Florida Statutes 

2 Respondent was the chairman and treasurer for Citizens for Honest and Ethical 

Government, a f01mer political committee (ROI Exhibits 1 & 2) 1 

3 By letter dated April 30, 2012, the Executive DirectOJ notified Respondent that 

Commission staff would investigate the following statutory provisions: 

Section 106.07(5), Florida Statutes: Joshua Kight, chairman and 

treasurer of Citizens for Honest and Ethical Government PAC, 

certified his 2010 G4 Campaign I reasurer Report as true, correct, 

and complete when this report was not, as alleged in the complaint 

Section 106.19(1)(c), Florida Statutes: Joshua Kight, chairman 


falsely reported or deliberately failed to include information on his 

2010 G4 Campaign Treasurer Report as required by Chapter 106, 

Florida Statutes, as alleged in the complaint 

Section 106.19(1)(b), Florida Statutes: Joshua Kight, chairman 


failed to report any contribution required to be reported by Chapter 

106, Florida Statutes on his 2010 G4 Campaign Treasurer Report, 

as alleged in the complaint 

1 The Report oflnvestigation is referred to herein as "ROI" 


1

I 

4 Citizens for Honest and Ethical Government ("Committee") filed its Statement of 

Organization of Political Committee and Appointment of Campaign I reasurer and Designation 

of Campaign Depository form ("DS-DE 6) with the Cooper City Clerk's office on October 26, 

2010 Both documents listed Respondent as the Committee's treasurer. The Statement of 

Organization of Political Committee listed Respondent as the chairman Id 

5 .. Complainant alleged that Respondent filed campaign reports that were untrue and 

fraudulent, and contained misstatements, including listing a $500 contribution from A & J Auto 

Brokers at an address where there is no business As it relates to this case, Respondent, both as 

the Committee's chair and treasurer, certified that the Committee's 2010 G4 Report and 2010 

I ermination Report were true, conect, and complete, when they were not (ROI Exhibit 3 & 

Attachment 3) 

6 Respondent stated that the address listed on the check is the address he reported 

on his report Respondent provided Commission staff with a copy of the check, however, 

everything on the check was redacted except for A & J Auto Brokers' name and address (ROI 

Exhibits 3 & 6). 

7. On October 15, 2012, Assistant General Counsel, Jaakan Williams, took 

Respondent's deposition At his deposition, Respondent produced an unredacted copy of the 

contribution check from A & J Auto Brokers.. However, the check was for $700, not for $500 

that Respondent reported on the Committee's 2010 G4report. (Attachment 1) 

8 At his deposition, Respondent also produced temporary check number 097 for 

$200 with the name and address of the Committee handwritten at the top 2 Respondent testified 

that the $200 check was for the excessive amount of the contribution received from A & J Auto 

Brokers (Attachment "2") 3 It does not appear that Respondent amended his 2010 G4 Report, 

and Respondent failed to report the $200 refund check on the Committee's termination report 

(Attachment "3") 

9 Because Respondent falsely reported the amount of A & J Auto Brokers 

contribution, failed to report the $200 refund to A & J Auto Brokers, certified his 2010 G4 and 

2010 Termination Reports were true, conect and complete when they were not, it appears that 

Respondent may have violated Sections 106 07(5), and 106 19(1)(c), Florida Statutes 

10.. "Probable Cause" is defined as reasonable ground of suspicion supported by 

circumstances sufficiently strong to wan ant a cautious person in the belief that the person has 

committed the offense charged .. Schmitt v State, 590 So.2d 404, 409 (Fla 1991). Probable 

cause exists where the facts and circumstances, of which an [investigator] has reasonably 

trustworthy information, are sufficient in themselves for a reasonable man to reach the 

2 

It is not possible to determine with certainty whether this check was actually tendered to A & J Auto Brokers, or 

if the check was cashed.

' ( 

conclusion that an offense has been committed Department of Highway Safety and Motor 

Vehicles v. Favino, 667 So.2d 305,309 (Fla .. 1't DCA 1995) 

II I he above facts show that Respondent was the chair and treasurer for Citizens for 

Honest and Ethical Government PAC.. As the tieasmer, Respondent filed the Committee's 

campaign reports Respondent certified that the Committee's 2010 G4 and 2010 Termination 

Reports were true, correct, and complete when they were not While it appears that Respondent 

properly listed the address for A & J Auto Brokers on his 2010 G4 Report, Respondent falsely 

reported that the Committee received a $500 contribution fiom A & J Auto Brokers instead of a 

$700 contribution on the Committee's 2010 G4 report, and Respondent deliberately failed to 

report a $200 refund to A& J Auto Brokers on the Committee's 2010 I ermination Report 

Based upon these facts and circumstances, I recommend that the Commission find no 

probable cause to charge Respondent with violating Section 106..19(1)(b), Florida Statutes, and 

to find probable cause to charge Respondent with the following violations: 

Count 1: 


106 07 ( 5), Florida Statutes when he certified that Citizens for 

Honest and Ethical Government PAC's 2010 G4 Report was tiue, 

conect, and complete, when it was not 

Count 2: 


106 .. 07(5), Florida Statutes, when he certified that Citizens for 

Honest and Ethical Government PAC's 2010 Termination Report 

as true, conect, and complete when it was not 

Count 3: 


106 19(1)(c), Florida Statutes, when he falsely reported or 

deliberately failed to repoit information required to be reported by 

Chapter 1 06, Florida Statutes on Citizens for Honest and Ethical 

Government PAC's 2010 G4 Report 

Count4 


106.19(1)(c), Florida Statutes, when he falsely reported or 


Chapter 106, Florida Statutes on Citizens for Honest and Ethical 

Government PAC's 2010 I ermination Report

organization from falsely reporting or deliberately failing to report 

information required by Chapter 106, Florida Statutes .. 

I. Preliminary Information: 

1.. Respondent was the chairman and treasurer of Citizens for Honest and Ethical 

Government-a defunct political connnittee According to Respondent's Myspace page, he 

appears to be a student at Tallahassee Connnunity College To review the statement of 

organization and the appointment of treasurer form, refer to Exhibits 1 and 2 

2 The statement of organization was filed with the filing officer on October 10, 

2010 .. According to the statement of organization, the issue the committee is opposing is "John 

Sims [Complainant] for Copper City Commissioner" It appears that the political connnittee 

operated for a period of less than eight days. 

3 On October 26,2010, Respondent filed the Appointment of Campaign Treasurer 

and Designation of Campaign Depository for Political Connnittees (DS DE 6) with city clerk 

Respondent is listed as treasurer To review the DS DE 6, refer to Exhibit 2 ..

Alleged Violation of Section 106 .. 07(5), Florida Statutes: 

Inv002 (7/08) 1

5 I investigated whether Respondent violated this section of the election laws by 

certifying to the couectness ofthe 2010 G4 Report, which was incouect 

6 According to Complainant, "the PAC reported a contribution of $500 from A&J 

Auto Brokers of 10733 SW 14 Place, Davie, Florida 33324 .. " Complainant stated, ''No such 

business exists at this address, nor is there any such business registered with the Town of Davie" 

Complainant stated that he checked with the Davie Tax Collector and could not find a tax 

receipt/occupation license for the business.. To review Respondent's campaign report, refer to 

Exhibit 3.. 

7. Complainant provided a photo of the building at the address listed on the 

campaign report The building appears to be a family residence.. Complainant also provided 

records from the Broward County Property Appraiser's web site, which shows that Jacqueline 

and Arthur Cotugna owns the property and claims homestead exemption for the property I o 

review the picture and printout from the web site, refer to Exhibit 4 .. 

8.. On May 23, 2012, Respondent filed a written statement According to 

Respondent, the address reported on the campaign report was the "address printed on the 

company check used for the contribution made to the PAC" He added that "Florida Law does 

not require a Political Action Committee to hire a private investigator to physically go out and 

confirm the address a contributor reports as theirs" To review Respondent's written statement, 

refer to Exhibit 5 .. To review a copy ofthe check, refer to Exhibit 6 

9 Respondent included a copy of the contribution check with his written statement 

The check had the payee and amount of the check redacted; however, the information embossed 

on the check reads, "A&J Auto Broker, 10733 SW 14 1 h PL, Davie, FL 33324-7126." The name 

ofthe person who authorized the check was not legible I o review the check, refer to Exhibit 6.

To review the campaign report, refer to Exhibit 3. 

11 On June 11, 2012, I mailed an Affidavit of Background Information to 

Respondent Respondent did not return the affidavit 

12 I mailed questionnaire affidavits to Mr .. and Mrs. Cotugna (owners of the 

property) to query about the alleged contributions They did not return the affidavits All 

attempts to ascertain Mr.. & Mrs Cotugna's telephone number were unsuccessful 

13. I searched the Internet (Google, Reference USA, and Division of Corporations) 

for A & J Auto Brokers in Davie, Florida.. I did not find a listing for the business 

lnv002 (7/08) 2

14. No record of Respondent having previously violated this section of the election 

law was found. 

III. 

Alleged Violation of Section 106.19(l)(b), Florida Statutes: 

15.. I investigated whether Respondent violated this section ofthe election laws by not 

reporting contributions required to be reported by Chapter 106, Flmida Statutes on 2010 G4 

Report 

16.. To rev1ew information relating to this section of law, refer to paragraphs 5

18.. I investigated whether Respondent violated this section of the election laws by 

falsely reporting or deliberately failed to include information on his 2010 G4 Report as required 

by Chapter 106, Florida Statutes. 

19 I o review the information relating to this section of law, refer to paragraphs 5 

through 12. 

20 No record of Respondent having previously violated this section of the election 

law was found 

V. FEC History 

21. Respondent was not listed as the Respondent in any previous case .. 

22 This is the second complaint filed by Complainant He is also the Complainant in 

FEC 10-263, which was a minor violation against Gary Laufenberg, his opponent in the City 

Commission, District 1 race.. On October 20, 2010, Respondent (Gary Laufenberg) paid a fine 

of$100 for a possible violation of Section 106 143(5), Flmida Statutes 

Conclusion: 

23 . On August 28, 2012, I called Respondent for the final interview. I reached a 

mechanical message that indicated "the number you are trying to reach is not in service. Please 

check and dial again " I did not have another number for Respondent 

24 According to Susan Poling, City Clerk for Cooper City, Respondent has not run 

for office previously. Ms .. Poling stated that she did not recall any contact with Respondent 

"either prior to, during, or after the November 2, 2010 Election.... No one from this PAC carne in 

for documents/fmms or asked any questions .." To review the filing officer's cover letter and 

affidavit, refer to Exhibit 7. 

25. On August 7, 2012, I interviewed Henry Wells, Wakulla County Supervisor of 

Jnv002 (7/08) 3

Elections\ by telephone.. I asked Mr Wells if Respondent had contacted his office regarding 

issues related to Chapter 106, Florida Statutes. Mr .. Wells indicated that he had not had any 

connnunications with Respondent. I asked Mr. Wells if Respondent had run for office; he 

answered negatively 

26.. Respondent did not complete and return the Affidavit of Background Information; 

therefore, it is unclear whether Respondent received copies of Florida Statutes or the connnittee 

handbook.

RE: Case No .. : FEC 12-046 

Dear Ms Wade: 

This co11espondence is a response to the commission's letter date April 30, 2012, 

inf(Hming that aii investigation of "legally sufficient allegations" will preside Per the 

Commission, Florida Statutes §§ 10607(5), 10619(1)(c), aiid 106J9(1)(b) will be 

investigated .. However, there is no indication as to the co11espondence between which 

allegations ru·e being investigated aiid the foresaid state statutes. Accordingly it is my 

attempt to respond to the allegations that appear to conespond with those statutes. 

On March 26, 2012 the Commission received a rathei incoherent complaint from John B.. 

Sims alleging several (nonexistent) violations of Florida Statutes .. Mr .. Sims' compliant 

was accompaiiied by several dozen pages of mindless ink disguised as "evidence" of said 

violations. It should be noted that Mr .. Sims' complaint was conveniently filed following 

my initiation of investigations against him by the Florida Elections Commission aiid the 

Broward County State Attorney's Office, regarding his criminal aiid civil violations of 

dozens ofcaiiipaign laws (Case# FEC 12-011).. 

Accordingly, the Commission's investigation aiid the complaint seem to aver a violation 

of state statute pertaining to the reporting of aii address for a contJibution received from 

A & J Auto Broker .. The address reported by Citizen's For Honest aiid Ethical 

Govenunent was "10733 SW 14th Place, Davie, Fl33324 .." Mr. Sims' (in his complaint) 

seems to have gone to great lengths to show that this address is not the co11ect address for 

the contJibutor. While it seems Mr. Sims' may have a promising future crueer as a Private 

Investigator, his Sherlock Homes adventure falls fiu short of proving a violation of Fla. 

Stat §§ 10607, 10619. The address reported (10733 SW 14th Place, Davie, Fl 33324) 

was the address given to the PAC by the contJibutor Floirda Law does not require a 

Political Action Committee to hire a private investigator to physically go out aiid confirm 

the address a contJibutor reports as theirs. Citizen's for Honest aiid Ethical Govermnent 

reported A & J Auto Broker's address as "10733 SW 14th Place, Davie, Fl 33324" 

because that was the address that was given to the PAC. Furthermore, that was the 

addr·ess printed on the compaiiy check used for the contJibution made to the PAC. 

At no time did the Citizen's for Honest aiid Ethical Govermnent, its Treasurer, or 

Chairperson "willfully certify as correct a knowingly false report " At no time did they 

"fail[] to report airY contJibution required to be reported by this chapter," aiid at no time 

did they "falsely report[] or deliberately failO to include airY information required by .. . 

[chapter 1 06]

( 

Therefore, it is hereby fmmally requested in writing that: 

1.. The complaint be dismissed for failing to allege a valid violation of Fla. Statutes; 

2 The confidentiality of the complaint be waived; 

3.. My official correspondence address be changed to 1331 Wouier Way, 

Tallahassee, Fl32304. 

Sincerely,

Dear Ms .. 

Wade: 

Enclosed please find my completed Affidavit of Filing Officer, Case 

Number FEC 12-046, relative to the Citizens for Honest and Ethical 

Government PAC. I have attached several pages of documents that you 

requested and some that may not be necessary. 

As stated on my affidavit, I do not know of any contact that I might have had 

with Mr. Joshua Kight, either prior to, during, or after the November 2, 20 1 0 

Election. Based on the reports, it would appear· that Mr. Kleiman (see 

affidavit) delivered the DS·DE5 and DS·DE6 forms on 10/26110; someone 

(I carmot identify the person with absolute certainty) dropped off the DS 

DE12 form on 10/29110; and, based on the envelope attached, the TR Report 

and the DS-DE41 form were mailed from Tallahassee, Florida on November 

1, 2010 and received in my office on November 3, 2010 .. 

No one from this PAC carne in for documents/forms or asked any questions. 

Therefore, I have very little information to provide to you on this case ..

Good Afternoon Mr Sims, 

Thank you for taking the time to provide the information about this potential code violation in the Town of 

Davie .. 

1 researched the corporate records and no specific business could be found under the names provided herein as 

far as there being a principal business location in Davie That is one of the first and most revealing issues we 

come across in such residential business operation cases

I will send a code inspector to investigate the subject property and seek to identify any visible and inappropriate 

zoning uses. You stated that you have prima facie evidence related to the auto broker operation, therefore it 

may be necessary to relate the same to us so as to process this action 

I will be in contact with you soon after 1 receive some feedback from the field inspector 

Sincerely, 

:Danie£ 'J. Staffune, &lq.

Dear Ms .. 

Wade: 

Enclosed please find my completed Affidavit of Filing Officer, Case 

Number FEC 12-046, relative to the Citizens for Honest and Ethical 

Government PAC. I have attached several pages of documents that you 

requested and some that may not be necessary. 

As stated on my affidavit, I do not know of any contact that I might have had 

with Mr. Joshua Kight, either prior to, during, or after the November 2, 2010 

Election.. Based on the reports, it would appear that Mr .. Kleiman (see 

affidavit) delivered the DS-DE5 and DS-DE6 forms on 10/26110; someone 

(I carmot identify the person with absolute certainty) dropped off the DS 

DE12 form on 10/29/10; and, based on the envelope attached, the TR Report 

and the DS-DE41 form were mailed from Tallahassee, Florida on November 

1, 2010 and received in my office on November 3, 2010 .. 

No one from this PAC carne in for documents/forms or asked any questions. 

Therefore, I have very little information to provide to you on this case ..

Subject: Article on Cooper City Election- Robo call Received On October .31, 2010 

Friends, Neighbors & All Concerned Citizens of Cooper City: 

I want to correct an error I made with regard to A & J Auto Broker, in Davie, and see if the correction jogs 

anyones' memory, etc.. I also am attempting herein, and will continue as needed, attempt to advise as wide a range 

of persons as possible regarding appropriate aspects of my projected article .. It may become inevitable that as 

events proceed these sort of general emails asking for assistance will slow in frequency .. Nevertheless, every 

citizen of Cooper City has my personal commitment to seek comment(s) prior to my drawing any final conclusions.! 

am not acting as an advocate of any party, person, or political position(s) 

As more fully stated below, I am attempting to identify a party or parties who/whom endeavored to insinuate 

themselves into our body politic in such a manner so as to poison relations both between Cooper City's municipal 

leaders, and between our municipal leaders and the citizens of Cooper City .. While political figures in Cooper City 

and its residents may from time to time differ (even vehemently) over certain issues, the citizenry rely on legal, 

ethical and moral leadership in making Cooper City, "Someplace Special". The po~stbilitythat persons and/or 

"interests" from outside our City engaged in activity/activities I contend most of us in Cooper City would 

objectively deem as having, "crossed the line", has inspired me to investigate the acts taken in the final day_s of the 

November 2, 2010 election (the "Election") by a Political Action Committee ("PAC") known as the "Citizens For 

Honest & Ethical Government" This PAC may have been formed as late as one. {1) week prior to the Election, and 

had as its sole, stated "issue" opposing re-election of Commissioner John Sims. The PAC indicated it was supporting 

Ms. Melissa Megna in her run for Commissioner 

[** PLEASE NOTE: There has been no indication in any Public Record I have reviewed so far, that Ms .. Megna 

herself contributed to, or even supported, the "Citizens For Honest & Ethical Government" PAC] 

In verifying with my own eyes the business location disclosed by the aforementioned A & J Auto Broker ("A & J" 

one of only two contributors to the PAC), I discovered I had originally put the wrong address into MapQuest in 

seeking the location of the business .. The address for A& J is in the "Village At Harmony Lake" subdivision in Davie. 

This development is actually West of Indian Ridge Middle School (not East). I found egress into "Harmony 

Lake" via Hiatus Rd. but I suspect some route(s) unknown to me allow access to The Village At Harmony Lake via 

its East side. 

I located a single family home at the address given for A & J (10733 SW 14th Place, 33324) in the PAC's 

disclosure documents ("Campaign Treasurer's Report Summary", covering 10/09/10 through 10/28/10).. The home 

is a very-well kept, handsome, two-story "stucco" home, yellow-amber in color, with a motorcycle in the remarkably 

well-organized garage However, while the location of A & J Auto Broker is different than I first thought, to the 

best of my knowledge the owners of the residence are still Arthur Cotugno, Jr, & Jacqueline Cotugno .. It has, 

however, been over a year since ownership was verified (by "http://southflorida.blockshopper com") via internet 

sources This ownership information may not be correct, and I will very shortly make an effort to determine 

ownership via official Broward County Property records. 

In the interim, however, does any of this corrective information suggest to anyone any logical connections between 

the known (ie, disclosed via Public Records) facts Consider the following: 

* A & J of Davie donating monies in support of the "Citizens For Honest & Ethical Government" PAC; 

*The founder/treasurer of the PAC is Mr. Joshua Kight, who is domiciled in Crawfordville, Fl.; 

3

I 

I 

*Crawfordville is a fairly rural town, some 15+ miles South of Tallahassee. '1 ne drive from Davie to Crawfordville 

takes about 7 to 7112 hours, covering almost 500 miles of roadway; 

* At the present time, why would an unemployed (per PAC disclosure) young man (at this point I believe, not based 

on any Public Records, Mr. Kight to be in the range of 27-28 yrs. old), listing his place of residence 

as Crawfordville, establish a PAC a week before our Election in order to support Ms .. Megna, and oppose Mr .. Sims; 

* The "Citizens For Honest & Ethical Government" PAC seems to have raised a total of $900, from just two (2) 

sources: i) $500 from A & J Auto Broker; and ii) $400 from Mr .. Joshua Kight. Thus, though unemployed, Mr Kight 

contributed about 44'i'o of the PAC's total donations received. Public Records further indicate both donations were 

made via checks dated (or given to the PAC) October 28, 2010; 

I hope some of the new (and/or more detailed) information set out herein may allow some person or persons to 

assist me in researching my article concerning the Robo-Call I received on October 31, 2010.. I believe the 

overwhelming citizenry of our town are unwilling to countenance "outside" monies and "outside" interests which 

choose to walk a very narrow politico-ethical line of conduct, attempt to influence our Elections 

Please feel free to contact me by phone, text or emaiL A II information wi II be maintained as completely 

confidential 

Thank You,

Re: Cooper City 

Ms .. Poling: 

Thank you very much for the information .. I really appreciate your dedication to 

Cooper City, and your willingness to put up with questions from people like myself. It 

cannot be easy .. 

The reason I posed the question about any rules or procedures is because the PAC I 

referenced does not appear in the database of the Division of Elections .. Since the 

PAC was limited in its scope to a municipal matter, this is likely consistent with the 

various statutes in Title IX of the FSA. However, since FSA sec .. 106.03 

(1)(a)(3)(c)b,2 (I apologize for the citation form. I have seen few sets of statutes 

with formats as far away from even attempting the "standard" usage as those dealing 

with campaign financing in Florida) appears to require filings solely with your Office, 

I thought some rules might exist. Then again, if this was the only PAC ever "filed" in 

a Cooper City municipal race, I can understand why no rules were ever deemed 

necessary .. 

Please note that although I practiced law, it was in another state & I definitely never 

dealt with election laws .. I am not admitted to practice law in Florida, and the 

statements herein regarding any interpretation of the florida Statutes are 

definitely not intended to in any manner whatsoever represent any kind of legal 

opinion or analysis ..

1. The filing requirements for PACs are not set by my office but by Florida Statutes, Chapter 106 which you can find on the 

website at http://www.leq.stateJLus/STATUTES/. I found only one political action committee from 2004 to date -that was 

the one you mentioned below. 

2.. See attached -this is all the additional information that I have for the subject PAC from 201 0.. Did Commissioner Sims 

provide you with the TR report and G4 report for the PAC If not, please let me know and 1 will forward them to you as

I can only tell you what I know to be fact, I do not recall who brought in the reports and I 

will not surmise or assume. I can tell you that we retain the envelope(s), if any, in which 

election document(s) are sent.. 

You now have all the documentation that I have relative to the PAC registered in 2010.. I can 

only suggest that if you have any additional questions you contact the campaign treasurer for 

the PAC.

Thank you very much, Ms. Poling. 

The image of the envelope you have sent indicates a Tallahassee postmark (P .. M .. ) of November 

1, 2010 .. I presume the contents of the November 1 envelope were the PAC documents filed at 

11:34 A.M .. & 11:35 A.M., respectively .. Is this correct 

However·, what information or documentation is known or available (or for some reason 

unavailable, e .. g., destroyed in the normal course of business, etc .. ) regarding the PAC's 

documentation filed on October 26 (a Tuesday) & October 29 (Friday) of 2010 Both of the 

documents were filed in the late afternoon and particularly with regard to the October 29 

filing, 4:33 P.M. on a Friday, I have to presume some sort of information or documentation 

must be known .. Or recalled. After all, this was the only PAC "registered" with your Office 

in, at least, the past 8 years .. 

I am very appreciative of your time, patience and assistance .. And, of cour·se, I welcome any 

appropriate disclosure of this communication under· Florida's Sunshine Laws.

Dear Ms Poling: 

As you know, the Florida Elections Commission is charged with the responsibility of 

conducting confidential investigations of alleged violations of Section 105 .. 071 and 

Chapters I 04 and 106, Florida Statutes.. Until the Commission finds probable cause, the 

investigation and all documents related to the investigation are confidentiaL According to 

Section 1 06.25(8), Florida Statutes, "Any person who discloses any information or matter 

made confidential ... commits a misdemeanor ofthe first degree .. " 

As part of that responsibility, I am collecting information on Toshu Kight, a committee 

chairman for Citizens for Honest and Ethical Government Please take the time to 

complete the attached questionnaire and return it to me by June 20, 2012 If other 

personnel in your office provided any services to the committee chairman, please ask them 

to submit a separate affidavit describing their actions .. 

Thank you for taking your time to assist me in this matter Please let me know if you have 

any questions 

Sincerely, 

Margie R Wade

EU: ...; I iv,;3 c~. .... ,;::,;.L:;;, 

Dear Ms .. 

Wade: 

This couespondence is a response to the commission's letter date April 30, 2012, 

informing that ari investigation of "legally sufficient allegations" will preside .. Per the 

Commission, Florida Statutes §§ 106.07(5), 106J9(1)(c), arid 106J9(1)(b) will be 

investigated. However, there is no indication as to the cmrespondence between which 

allegations ar·e being investigated arid the foresaid state statutes. Accordingly it is my 

attempt to respond to the allegations that appear to correspond with those statutes. 

On March 26, 2012 the Commission received a rather incoherent complaint from John B. 

Sims alleging several (nonexistent) violations of Flmida Statutes .. Mr Sims' compliant 

was accompariied by several dozen pages of mindless ink disguised as "evidence" of said 

violations .. It should be noted that Mr .. Sims' complaint was conveniently filed following 

my initiation of investigations against him by the Florida Elections Commission arid the 

Broward County State Attorney's Office, regarding his criminal arid civil violations of 

dozens of campaign laws (Case# FEC 12-011}. 

Accordingly, the Commission's investigation and the complaint seem to aver a violation 

of state statute pertaining to the reporting of ari address for a contribution received from 

A & J Auto Broker The address reported by Citizen's For Honest arid Ethical 

Government was "10733 SW 14 1 h Place, Davie, Fl 33324" Mr .. Sims' (in his complaint) 

seems to have gone to great lengths to show that this address is not the correct address for 

the contributor .. While it seems Mr.. Sims' may have a promising future car·eer as a Private 

Investigator, his Sherlock Homes adventure falls far short of proving a violation of Fla. 

Stat §§ 10607, 10619 The address reported (10733 SW 14 1 h Place, Davie, Fl 33324) 

was the address given to the PAC by the contributor .. Floirda Law does not require a 

Political Action Committee to hire a private investigator to physically go out arrd confirm 

the address a contributor reports as theirs .. Citizen's for Honest arrd Ethical Govermnent 

reported A & J Auto Broker's address as "10733 SW 14 1 h Place, Davie, Fl 33324" 

because that was the address that was given to the PAC. Furthermore, that was the 

address printed on the com parry check used for the contribution made to the PAC. 

At no time did the Citizen's for Honest arrd Ethical Government, its I reasurer, or 

Chairperson "willfully certif'y as correct a knowingly false report." At no time did they 

"fail[] to report any contribution required to be reported by this chapter," arrd at no time 

did they "falsely report[] or deliberately fail[] to include ariy information required by . 

[chapter 1 06].

" 

Therefore, it is hereby fotmally requested in writing that: 

1.. The complaint be dismissed for failing to allege a valid violation of Fla Statutes; 

2. The confidentiality of the complaint be waived; 

3. My official correspondence address be changed to 1331 Wonier Way, 

I allahassee, Fl 32304 ..

The PAC states that it stJpported Melissa Megna (See D&DE&, Page 2. Item 7) when indeed it did not. Ms .. Megna had no knowledge of the 

PAC's existence,. and subsequently discovered and relayed to me that It was Intended to discredit this complainant.. and that political operatives from 

.Cooper City were involved .. The PAC reported a contribution of $500 from A&J Auto Brokers of 10733 SW 14 Place- Davie,, Florida 33324. 

No such business exists at this address, nor is there any such business registered with the Town of DaVe .. This is a direct violation of

Crawfordville_. FL, a residence over 500 miles from this complainant's residence. The complainant believes that this attempts to hide the operatives of the 

PAC from being publicly known. Discussions with Mrs, Megna have subsequently revealed to me that the PAC may have possibly involved the Mayor of 

Cooper City Debby Eisinger and acquaint&nces Lori Gruen Gary Laufenberg (See FEC Case# 1().263 filed by this complainant). Ryan Shrouder and Elliott Kleiman. 

The Cooper City Clerk, Susan Polfng .. notified Mrs.. Megna that the PAC and the appropriate fees,. were filed by Mrs. Lori Green after meetings

Good Afternoon Mr .. Sims, 

Thank you for taking the time to provide the information about this potential code violation in the Town 

of Davie .. 

I researched the corporate records and no specific business could be found under the names provided 

herein as far as there being a principal business location in Davie .. That is one of the first and most 

revealing issues we come across in such residential business operation cases .. 

I will send a code inspector to investigate the subject property and seek to identify any visible and 

inappropriate zoning uses .. You stated that you have prima facie evidence related to the auto broker 

operation, therefore it may be necessary to relate the same to us so as to process this action .. 

I will be in contact with you soon after I receive some feedback from the field inspector .. 

Sincerely, 

9Jani..et :J. sta£tone, uq.

REVIEW OF COMPLAINT FOR LEGAL SUFFICIENCY 

Date Received: 03/26/12 Reviewer: David Case #: FEC 12-046 X ORIGINAL 

D AMENDED 

Complainant: John B. Sims III 

Respondent: Joshua Kight 

Complainant: 

Complainant is a member of the Cooper City Commission. He secured his re-election 

when he defeated a field of three opponents-D. Mike Good, Gary H Laufenberg, and 

Melissa Mears Megna-in the race for seat I on the commission on November 2, 2010 

Complainant will not be up for re-election again until November 2014 

Complainant believes that Respondent was used as a pawn of local political 0peratives in 

order to hide their involvement in a campaign to weaken Complainant's chances for reelection. 

Respondent: 

Respondent was the chairman and treasurer of Citizens for Honest and Ethical 

Government-a defimct political committee A statement of organization, declaring the 

committee's scope and jurisdiction as "Cooper City Municipal Elections for 

Commissioner," was hand delivered to the office of the Cooper City Clerk at 4:11 p.m on 

Tuesday, October 26, 2010, by a former member of the Cooper City Commission. The 

2010 G4 report-the committee's first treasurer report-was hand delivered to the service 

window of the city clerk's oflice at 4:33 pm on Friday, October 29, 2010, by persons 

unknown; the document was simply left at the window when an employee was not there to 

properly accept it 

The committee's termination report was delivered to the filing officer through the US. 

Postal Service at 11:34 a.m on Wednesday, November 3, 20 I 0; the document was mailed 

from Tallahassee on November 1, 2010. At the time of all this activity, the committee's 

chairman and treasurer was a 28-year-old man living in the City of Tallahassee. The 

election which the committee sought to influence was held on I uesday, November 2, 2010, 

in Cooper City, Florida. 

Respondent is a 2001 graduate of Crawfordville High School, Crawfordville Florida 

(Wakulla County).. Based upon his Myspace page, he currently appears to be a student at 

I allahassee Community College He first registered to vote on October 10, 2000 

Respondent changed his voter-registration address on April 6, 2010, from 189 Mulbeny 

Circle, Crawfordville Florida (the apparent address of his mother's house), to 1906 Rhonda 

Drive, I allahassee Florida (the address of a house that belongs to Gary H. Laufenberg, one 

of Complainant's opponents in the November 2, 2010 municipal election in Cooper City, 

Florida), his current voter-registration address 

The statement of organization discloses that the political committee's address was the 

home of the then unemployed 28-year-old' s mother rather than Respondent's current voterregistration 

address which, at the time of the committee's registration, had been 

Respondent's voter address for a period of more than six months. 

1 

Com I 00 (3/09)

Background: 

Based upon local newspaper reports, there appears to be some long-standing tension 

between Cooper City Mayor Eisinger and her political supporters, and Complainant In an 

October 8, 20 I 0 article by Susannah Bryan of the Sun Sentinel, Cooper City was described 

as a "quiet bedroom community !mown for its combative City Hall meetings" In the same 

article, Ms .. Bryan wrote, "Sims, a fr·equent critic of Mayor Debby Eisinger, faults the 

mayor for not keeping order at the sometimes raucous City Hall meetings " 

During the campaign period leading up to the November 2, 2010 municipal election, it 

appears that Mayor Eisinger supported Gary H. Laufenberg by driving her personal vehicle 

while its rear window was clad with a campaign placard belonging to the Gary Laufenberg 

election campaign-one ofthree of Complainant's election opponents 

It appears that Respondent's political committee operated for a period ofless than 8 days .. 

Violations in complaint: 

Reviewer's violations: 

Violations for CMS: 

Chapter 106, §106 .. 06(1), §106 .. 07(4)(a) 

§ 106.03(2); § 106 07(5); § 106J43(1)(c), [2011]; § 106 .19(1)(b); and 

§106.19(1)(c) 

§106.07(5), §106.19(1)(b), and §106.J9(1)(c) 

1. Complainant alleges that Respondent filed a statement of organization which contained inconect or 

false information, and failed to include information required 

2. Complainant alleges that Respondent failed to disclose the identity of all the committee's contributors 

when he certified as true and correct his 20 I 0 G4 report, which is false . 

.3. Complainant alleges that Respondent was required to include a disclaimer with his committee's robocall 

advertisements, but failed to do so 

1. Complainant appears to believe that a statement of organization for a political committee must include the 

names and addresses of every individual involved with the activity of the committee; and that the officers 

of the committee-the chairman and treasurer-and the committee itself, must be based locally; not true 

In addition, Complainant asserts that Melissa Mears Megna, one of three of his election opponents in the 

2010 municipal election, advised him that while she had no lmowledge of the committee's existence during 

the campaign, she later became aware that the committee was intended to discredit Complainant's reelection 

campaign, and that various local political operatives of Cooper City were involved with the efforts 

of the committee; hearsay. 

It would appear reasonable to assume that Complainant did not need Ms. Megna to advise him that the 

purpose of the committee was to limit his chances for re-election Noteworthy is the fact that paragraph 

eight declared the committee's opposition to Complainant Complainant outlined, in red ink, paragraph 

number seven in the statement of organization In this paragraph, Respondent declared that the committee 

was supporting Melissa tMears] Megna as a candidate for "Cooper City Commissioner District I " 

In the November 2, 20 I 0 municipal election, there were four candidates competing for seat one on the 

commission Without the benefit of a transcript of the robo-call advertisement, or a recording, it is difficult 

2 

Com!OO (3/09)

\ 

/ 

( 

to analyze how, specifically, the committee may have supported the Melissa Mears Megna Campaign; Ms. 

Megna does not seem to know how, if at all, the committee supported her campaign.. The committee could 

have supported Ms. Megna, independently 

The committee disclosed a total of three expenditures-all within the termination report While none of 

the entries mention then candidate Megna, one could argue that a political advertisement robo-call in direct 

opposition to Complainant could be viewed as a benefit to her campaign, and possibly the other two 

opponents. That being the case, one might ask why not disclose the names of Complainant's other two 

election opponents in paragraph seven ofthe committee's statement of organization. [Legally insufficient] 

2. It appears that Complainant is correct In his 20 I 0 G4 report, Respondent disclosed that the committee 

received and accepted a $500 contribution from "A & J Auto Broker" in Davie, Florida The problem is 

that neither the Florida Division of Corporations nor the taxing authorities for the City of Davie know 

anything about this alleged business In support of his complaint, Commissionet Sims submitted 

photographs of the building which is located at the address disclosed in the report entry for the contribution 

at issue Based upon the photographs, as well as the property appraiser's records submitted by 

Complainant, it appears that 10733 S. W 14'h Place, Davie Florida, is the residential homestead of Arthur 

and Jacqueline Cotugno. 

[106 07(5), !06J9(1)(b), and 10619(1)(c); for the 2010 G4 report] 

3. Respondent's termination report discloses two expenditures to Target Vote for "Robo Telephone Calls I 

Ads .." However, Complainant failed to submit a recording of a robo-call, or his sworn affidavit serving as 

a transcript ofthe telephone call he received, for our review. 

[Legally insufficient]

Reviewer's Notes: 

Complainant is cmrently a member of the Cooper City Commission 

Based upon my review of the complaint, and additional research, I suspect that 

the true putpose of the committee was to help the 2010 campaign of Gary H 

Laufenberg.. Now, Mr Laufenberg. is running. as a candidate for mayor in 2012. 

While I believe that Mr Kig.ht is more than likely living. with Ryan Sluouder in 

I allahassee, in a house owned by Ga1y H Laufenberg, I sug.g.est that we use the 

address that Mr Kig.ht used in his most recent complaint filed with out officethe 

address of his mother's home in Crawfordville, Florida 

In FEC 12-011, we have the same two people only the roles are reversed; 

Commissioner Sims is the respondent and Mr .. Kig.ht is the complainant.

Good Afternoon Mr. Sims, 


of Davie 


herein as far as there being a principal business location in Davie. That is one of the first and most 

revealing issues we come across in such residential business operation cases. 

1 will send a code inspector to investigate the subject property and seek to identify any visible and 

inappropriate zoning uses You stated that you have prima facie evidence related to the auto broker 

operation, therefore it may be necessary to relate the same to us so as to process this action 

I will be in contact with you soon after I receive some feedback from the field inspector. 

Sincerely, 

9>~ :J. Srol£ane, &q.

I would like to file a formal complaint and request an investigation and subsequent citation against a

On 2/24/2012, I spoke to Sandy in the Business Tax Receipt Department, personally, and she verified 

that there was no business permit or tax receipt issued for this residence .. 

The resident(s) is utilizing this address for business purposes under the name of A & J Auto Broker.

Broward County Commissioner John Rodstrom's attempt to kill term limits (chiefly for 

himself) is going to court tomorrow, where a judge is expected to rule on it up or down .. 

Rodstrom, plain and simple, is trying to overturn the will of the people for his own selfish 

reason-- namely staying in a political office that happens to have been very very good for 

his business of selling bonds to local govemments .. He, along with ilene Lieberman, will be 

the first commissioners to be term-limited out of office in 2012.

Understand that voters passed a referendum in 2000 to limit commissioners to three fouryear 

terms by a whopping So percent of the vote .. Supporting it then too was Rodstrom. 

Now that his term is up, he says he's decided that term limits aren't a good idea after 

alL He says they only lead to novice politicians entering office who are more susceptible to

lobbyists than experienced 

veterans like himself (his close 

ftiend and adviser, lobbyist 

Judy Stem, apparently doesn't 

count in that equation}. 

Through his political ally, 

attorney Bill Scherer, Rodstrom 

is trying to overturn them on 

the ridiculous -- if not 

scurrilous -- assertion that they 

violate the Florida Constitution .. 

Scherer filed suit with a stlaw 

plaintiff by the name of William 

lel!i, husband of Susan .. 

New Yot·k trip for Rothstein and Adler (see inside for 

significance) .. 

How can term limits -- a 

hallmark of democratic American government established by none other than George 

Washington-- be unconstitutional Well, Scherer is arguing that the Constitution spells 

out the rules regarding officers like Rodstrom and that those rules don't include term 

limits .. The county doesn't have the power, Scherer notes, to make any changes that are 

counter to "general law .." Therefore the voters' will should be tossed out the window. 

The basic argument is that Broward County has little power of self-rule. County attorneys 

Jeff Newton and Andrew Meyers (both of ethics reform shenanigan fame) argue that 

Broward in fact is a charter county with broad self~rule powers and that case law 

establishes that disputes should be "liberally construed in favor of county government .. " 

They also argue, rationally, that term limits are not in violation of general law and that 

killing them runs counter to good public policy .. 

Listed on the case is Broward Circuit Judge Lisa-Carol Phillips, who happens to be the wife 

of former Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle .. Let's hope the right thing is done. 

Inside, see how a well-known local politician transformed her Lexus.into a campaign ad, 

how a named partner in Scott Rothstein's law firm is coughing up his New York 

apartment, and, as a bonus, read about the slow destruction ofthe local daily newspapers ..

Cooper City FL- A blog that the Broward Sheriff's Office started investigating in January for anti-.Jewish postings 

about the mayor is registered to Commissioner John Sims, the Sheriff's Office said

have suspended the investigation until they get more information spokesman .Jim Leljedal said

drawn on her upper lip. according to the police report On Thursday, she said Sims breached the public's trust and 

should be charged with a hate crime

Sims should not remain on the commission •This is a man

actions' [sunsentinel]

A sure-fire technique to rile a city: Accuse people of anti·Semitism 

By Bob Norman Thursday, May 1 2008 Comments (9) AA 

It's been reported in both the Sun-Sentinel and Miami Herald unquestioningly as "anti-Semitic .. " 

The Broward Sheriffs Office agrees and has gone as fiu as using subpoena power to investigate 

what it says may be a hate crime. 

Most 

./ Viewed / 

What is it 

A Hitler mustache and the words "Nazi bitch" 

TO 

The offending material appeared on a political 

blog in Cooper City during the height of the 

election season in January A post on the blog 

pictured Mayor Debbie Eisinger with a square of 

scribble on her upper lip and the epithet

This, of course, isn't anti-Semitic on its face (so

comparing Eisinger- who is known as a powerhungry 

politician in Cooper City- to the most 

reviled dictator of all time and certainly not in a 

favorable light. If anything, it's anti-Nazi 

Bloggers compare George W. Bush to Hitler 

quite a Jot, and, while some might call it 

distasteful and wrong, I've never heard it called 

anti-Semitic. And I've certainly never heard of 

any instance where it was investigated as a 

potential crime .. 

Except in Broward County, where deputies took 

the extreme measure of sending subpoenas out 

to Google and AT&T to uncover the owner of the 

blog, which was called "Save Cooper City" and is 

now defunct The blog's owner, according to 

deputies, is Commissioner John Sims, who is 

now the subject of a recall petition organized by 

the mayor and her political backers. 

Their cry: "Anti-Semitism!" 

My cry: "Anti-Americanism!" 

Eisinger knows how to scare up some votes

The pro-mayoral forces are led by former 

commissioner Elliot Kleiman and Eisinger's 

campaign manager, Lori Green. Also lurking in the background is big-time Broward lobbyist .Judy 

Stem, a paid political consultant to Eisinger who is blamed, rightly or wrongly, for some of the 

more extreme tactics employed by Eisinger and Co. 

~d together they are trying to over tum a democratic election based on a spmious argument that 

Sims hates Jews. It's an emotional heart-tugger of an accusation that is sure to get pens to 

wagging on petition forms.

Ifyou ever met Kleiman and Green, you would notice immediately that they seem to be perfectly 

nice and reasonable people .. But the blood sport of politics has obviously gotten under their skins

In addition to leading the recall drive, Kleiman has a personal website (www.elliot cc) that is all

The recall group is also handing out information about a domestic battery charge filed against 

Sims back in 1991; when he was going through a tough divorce and was accused by his ex-wife of 

pushing her and trying to pull the wedding ring off her finger. 

Involved in that case was a psychological evaluation that basically found Sims has some 

psychological problems, including a penchant toward narcissism and an inability to deal with 

stress but that he didn't seem violent by nature

. Don't these Eisinger morons know that Sims is married to a Jew how can he be anti-semitic What a 

load of crap. Eisinger is so crooked, she can't stand up straight. .or is it because she is drunk at the 

commissione meetings 

The Mayor is in it 3 years ago 

The Mayor, Debby Eisinger, is now heading up the recall as she was seen with Lori Green in Embassy 

Lakes last week by none other than Commission candidate Diane Sori Now Gay boy Greg Ross is in the 

mix heading up the show 

West Hollywood Dissident 3 years ago 

Gee and I thought we had it bad in Hollywood with all the "dirty politics" Mara and Sal did'nt get along at 

Commission Meetings, but it never got this far. Mr Klienman has a short memory when it comes to "real 

crimes", sunshine law violations, drinking before Commission meetings, etc, etc .. As for this picture of a 

candidate for Mayor with a Hitler mustasche, childish and immature, but no way a "hate crime". Just go on 

with life as a private citizen once again. 

Give it up Debby 3 years ago 

This is another example of the mayor ignoring what the voters of Cooper City want What do you expect 

from a senile old man who hates his son and shows up for commission meetings under the influence, and 

denies it! Typical liar along with Debby the mayor who lied to the Governor, lied to the people, lied to the 

newspapers, lied to me on the campaign trail and now lied to the new city attorney. 

When Debby Eisinger doesn't get her way, she stifles free speech, creates lies and controversy to muddy 

the waters. Please do NOT let her get away with her dirty, underhanded politics Too bad she 'survived' 

the election

Thanks to Ed Wooley she is still the Mayor .. He should have dropped out of the race. Also, if you analyze 

os!Jffi!l'l!anslit~S'tafffilie'l!rime & what doesn't, check out what the ADL advises police officers. (You can 

find this on the web ) As I recall, the first question cops are supposed to ask themselves to determine 

whether a hate crime occured is: "Was the person targeted because of their religion, ethnicity or sexual 

orientation" In the case of the mustache .. J don't think so It seemed more about the mayo~s political 

style .. Her being Jewish wasn't the point She doesn't practice her supposed heritage/religion at all! In fact 

Debby hates Jews .. She is being sued by the Chabad Nova because she is ANTI-CAHBAD. 

The article didn't talk about getting this petition drive started on the same Saturday as Founder's Day. 

Interesting timing for gathering signatures, no doubt Elliott Kleiman, The Kiwanis Club, John Valenti, 

Debby Eisinger and Lori Green along with countless other Debby Lovers, trashed this family event by 

bringing this hateful feud to what has been a wonderful tradition in the past We already stayed home from 

the so-called "peace rally" because of the painful irony in what's going on with our ridiculously mis-focused 

Mayor,. Put aside the petty drama, Debby, and get back to running the city. 

However, now that all this garbage has gone on for so long, I do question the Mayor's ability to actually 

vote in the public interest at all any more. I will always wonder, are you voting your conscience Debby, or 

just going against whatever your opponent John Sims is backing Get over yourself. So .. can we get 

back to the real business of running our city, pleeeeze 

STOP IT DEBBY 3 years ago 

Until proven guilty, Mr Sims should clearly remain in office as all the others who were invetigated before 

him ·What makes Kleiman and all these others feel that they can re-call a person whom we don't even 

know for sure if he even had any knowledge here. Common sense tells us we should wait to confirm his 

guilt before we act so upity up And what's happened to freedom of speech around here Even if 

something is offensive to someone, don't we still have the right to say it I hear things that offend me daily, 

i just don't listen- that's the difference. Grow up people. If you don't like him, don't vote him in again, but 

for God's sake, let's get on with the business of our city and stop this nonsense

Cooper City recall effort abandoned 

By Anthony Man May 29, 2008 09:55 AM 

Residents intent on removing John Sims from office because of anti-Semitic Web postings have dropped the recall 

effort, saying the city can't afford it. 

The residents started the rare recall move against the city commissioner last month to hold him accountable for a 

now-defunct, controversial blog registered to him that posted anti-Semitic statements about Mayor Debbie Eisinger 

Elliot Kleiman, a recall committee organizer, said Wednesday the group collected more than the needed 1 ,900 

signatures, or 10 percent of the city's registered voters. He said he could not provide the exact number of signatures 

because he stopped counting when they reached the required amount 

About th< 

Kleiman said the group hoped to hold the recall in November to coinCide with the presidential election, but the Broward 

process would likely take longer and force Cooper City to conduct two special elections Doing so would cost the city Broward 

about $55,000 apiece, according to City Clerk Susan Bernard. 

parties, tl 

"Based on the economy and all the problems with city budgets, we just determined that it just wasn't worth it," 

Kleiman said .. 

In January, the Broward Sheriffs Office started looking for evidence leading to those responsible for anti-Semitic 

postings about the mayor on a now defunct blog The Sheriffs Office considered the incident a hate crime .. They 

have not charged Sims or anyone else with a crime and have suspended the investigation until they get more 

information 

Sims, 49, whose term ends in March 2010, has said he had nothing to do with the Eisinger postings He said 

Wednesday he thought the recall petition "was a big joke .. " 

"I wanted to take them to court and show what a frivolous recall it was," Sims said

The petition was not legally sufficient to sustain the charges which were so vague and uncertain that Commissioner 

Sims could have no conception of the particular act or acts which substantially related to the alleged cause(s) of 

removal from office and would not have been able to eve formulate a response. Therefore, the baseless allegations 

contained in the Petition for Recall could not constitute malfeasance, misfeasance or neglect of duty The legal 

requirements were not met where the statement(s) in the petition were nothing more than conclusions or opinions 

without any tangible basis of facts There was absolutely no truth, factual allegations nor justification to any of the 

false charges levied against Commissioner Sims by the Recall Committee (Yes, that Committee includes 

EVERYONE who signed it) by an ex-Commissioner who rarely showed up sober for a Commission meeting, 

I am glad the majority of voters showed support for Commissioner Sims' dedicated service to the community by not 

signing the ridiculous petition 

The lie told by the Green's and Eslinger's wasted a lot of Elliot Kleiman's time and money 

Posted by: morons 1 May 30, 2008 11 :00 AM 

I don't believe the recall committee got the required number of signatures, Shredding the list seems to be the best 

evidence that they didn't get the signatures. This mean-spirited group of peabrains would have moved forward had 

they had the signatures .. Heck, only 2 weeks ago Eliott was up at the podium at the last commission meeting doing 

his recall rant If they had the signatures, they would have moved forward. What a bunch of losers

The actions of the Recall Committee should be very troubling to everyone in Broward county .. I don't agree with the October: 

tactics that were used against Sims by the Recall Committee, Elliot Kleiman, Lori Green, Greg Ross and Debby Septemb 

Eisinger among many others.. August 2 

The recall effort was nothing short of frivolous and it was July 2011 

deceitful just to get signatures .. This was just one of many tactics designed to continue to discredit Sims through June 201 

character assassination because the recall committee doesn't like what he has to say, nor do they like free speech May 201' 

outside of the commission chambe(s walls, much less inside, and we all must admonish these political and morally April 201 

reprehensible tactics .. Yes, Judy Stern! 

March 2C 

It was alright for the Mayor to allow 'free speech' and personal attacks against her opposition up until election time, February 

and then afterwards it was again permitted by her cronies. January : 

Sims was falsely accused of Anti-Semitism by the Mayor and Elliot Kleiman. He was slandered and defamed by Decemb< 

them. They created this conspiracy. I hope Sims will seek justice and unfortunately, the citizens of Cooper City will Novemb< 

have to pay dearly for that October : 

If reports in this piece of sh*it paper are to be believed, then we must all admonish those who created this debacle Septemb 

which has been nothing short of disgraceful. August 2 

This in and of itself is concerning. Although no crime was committed by Sims or by the actual perpetrators of the so- July 200! 

called 'hate blog' of which Sims was falsely accused of creating, one of the basic tenants of American law is that you June 20C 

have the right to know who your accuser is, and that you are indeed innocent until proven guilty May 200'

October: 

Recall the Recall. 

Septemb 

It has ended Not to be left hanging the perps have one last message (read lie) to attempt to feed us .. The recall is August 2 

being withdrawn. Yes, that is what we are being asked to believe. July 2001 

First, let's really look at some of the facts of the petition withdrawal. We are being asked to view this petition process June 20( 

as one of benevolence. The process is being halted as it would cost Cooper City $110,000 to continue The figure May 200: 

head leader of the effort had been the former commissioner Kleiman who had stated when he withdrew his support April 200 

just a few weeks ago, that it appeared to him that the basis of the petition was in fact very weak and probably not March 2( 

founded on any real facts, only allegation or suggested supposition. 

February 

This is after a resident of Cooper City, the Rev. Bob Sands took Mr. Kleimen to task on the concept of hypocrisy. January : 

We have it on very good authority that he then received a blistering phone call from the originator of the petition Decemb< 

action, the infamous if not notorious Lori Green, campaign manager for Mayor Debby Eisinger and companion while Novemb< 

both were seen walking of the streets of Embassy Lakes knocking on doors to obtain signatures as the petition drive October : 

lost its steam 

Septemb 

With that in my mind we are being asked to believe that it is the cost that is the primary consideration for the Get text; 

withdrawaL( Cooper City has at least $22 million in liquid assets Based upon the last 5 commission meetings, the Mobile p 

Mayor has a dummy on either side, ready, willing and quite able to approve any expenditure that she may desire ..) 

Secondly, the time frame of this process was well known to all who can read (including the lawyers leading the pack) Send me 

and some of the time line discussion by the backroom manager Lori Green is really just a subterfuge. 

POLil 

It is simply verbal condiments added to the meal of a failed petition needed to feed the hunger mob at Embassy 

STOF 

Lakes that so passionately drank the 'Kool Aid' of lies, half truths, slanderous and malicious attacks upon a 

Commissioner who did not follow in line as the previous group (Roper and Valenti, want another beer, brother) did in r NEW~ 

order to satisfy a political agenda of the power hunger and control freak Mayor of Cooper City, Debbie Eisinger. .. LOTT 

Last, but by no means least, the truth that was being told by a few staunch supporters and 'Thanks' to a perceptive 

and thoughtful segment of the population of Cooper City who were able to see through the vitriolic rhetoric of the 

boisterous if not obnoxious Greg Ross, well known ambulance chaser of the more seedy Broward streets, the 

hypocritical commentary of (dismissed by the voters and discarded by the Mayor) commissioner Elliot Kleiman, and 

the tragically flawed arguments of the well meaning group of Embassy Lakes residents who had been sucked into 

the mob mentality without looking 

They had accepted on faith,(ponder the pun) the allegations as truth based upon a false propositions of bigotry and 

anti-Semitism, propagated and perpetuated by the real source of this disgusting misuse and betrayal of Judaism, 

Lori Green 

We, the nonjudgemental and concerned citizens, hope the lesson here is 'Look and think before you accuse' 

P S. It is particularly note worthy that many unsolicited comments were made by the residents of this embattled city 

that we live in a country in which the process is 'one is innocent until proven guilty' 

Kudos to the residents of Cooper City whose common sense and decency 

brought this horrendous nightmare to end

What do you expect from a senile old drunk (Kleiman} who never showed up at a commission meeting sober And

I denounce Elliot Kleiman and his use of the Kiwanis name to promote the fake Recall Petition at Founde~s Day at 

the Kiwanis Booth. I saw it on Channel 7 (WSVN} news and was appalled that the Kiwanis would sponsor such hate, 

libel, slander and defamation of a sitting outstanding Commissioner. Demand that Elliot be removed from his office 

and copy the TV news stations and newspapers .. 

Posted by: No Kiwanis 1 May 30, 2008 11 :22 AM 

Quote by a Recall Volunteer on Topix- "I saw the pages of signatures They had not been approved by the elections 

dept, that I will give you all. Someone involved, told me in an election year, this effort would not be a priority to verify 

each signature which would take longer .." 

This is absolutely not true .. The Clerk has merely a ministerial duty to either reject or accept the petition. If the 

was sufficient in regards to the number of signatures, the Supervisor of Elelctions MUST continue with the effort. 

I read the Petition and as a matter of law that the grounds stated in the recall petition were insufficient to invoke the 

recall election That is not for the Clerk to decide .. 

The reasons for recall whether true or false do not affect the proceeding .. Their truth or sufficiency is not for 

determination by the Clerk. 

The grounds for the action was contemplated to be something stronger than a belief or an idea; and the ones set out 

in the petition amounts to no more than either one of these. 

The recall petition in no way apprised the Commissioner of the charges he would be expected to respond to were 

the recall election held, nor would any elector participating in such an election know what issues were intended to be 

drawn .. 

The recall petition constituted nothing more than the statement of a conclusion or opinion without any tangible basis 

in fact .. No one reading it could tell what was in the recall committee's minds or, for that matter, whether they were of 

one mind or each had a different reason for setting the recall effort in motion 

The grounds in the petition did not sufficiently set forth a violation of some duty to the electorate which could be 

sufficiently identified for the electorate to determine the truth of falsity of the charges; nor did the grounds apprise the 

Commissioner of the charges he would be expected to meet were the recall election held. It constituted nothing more 

than a statement of conclusion or opinion .. 

The ground stated in the petition drastically failed to form a foundation for a recalL 

Let us assume that the motive of each signer was of the loftiest character; we still have only an opinion .. Let us 

suppose any issue where the sentiment of the community has been sharply divided, one segment feeling sincerely 

that a certain course would be "to the best interests of the citizens," the other feeling as strongly that an opposite 

course would be. 

As soon as the Commissioner became allied with one group and exerted himself in their behalf, the opposing group 

could, doubtless conscientiously, swear that the official had engaged in activities inimical to the best interests of the 

citizens simply because they entertained the belief that the wrong group had been chosen or elected 

Sims has a property right in the office to which the people had elected him and he could not be forced into a recall 

election to determine whether he should be ousted, but a few months after entering his term, in the absence of a 

substantial compliance with the law prescribing the procedure for such drastic actions. 

Because the petition failed utterly to form a foundation for the recall, the petition would have been enjoined by a 

court of law. 

The Supreme Court has pointed out on several occasions that an officeholder has a property right in his office and 

that this right may not be unlawfully taken away or illegally infringed upon 

The law states that the petition under consideration absolutely imposes upon the city clerk or some other appropriate 

officer the duty of ascertaining whether the recall petition has been signed by the requisite number of qualified 

voters, no more and no less. Upon the certificate of such officer that a sufficient petition has been filed, the duty of 

the municipal council to call a special election is purely ministerial 

Clearly the City and the Supervisor of Elections cannot pass upon the sufficiency of charges contained in a recall 

ovatior

There have been a multitude of unethical as well as legal questions as far as this whole recall thing ... I hope 

somebody is looking at these ! 

Posted by: questionable 1 May 30, 2008 11 :39 AM 

This is BS! The city hass $22M in unrestriced reserves, money in the bank They can afford this, they just lied about 

it because they didn't get their signatures .. 

Posted by: BS I May 30, 2008 2:28 PM 

I have learned alot from this, that Debbi's character is worse than I thought With all the alcohol related issues she 

has had publically and personally she ought to shut her mouth and clean her own closet of the impropriety instead of 

blowing smoke in an attempt to cover her Jack of character and leadership. BTW now that hurricane season is 

starting Let me remind everyone that during Wilma Debbie promoted halloween , for all the kids to go out and about 

trick or treating .. I guess that was ok in her neighborhood cause they had power, how nice for them! In my 

neighborhood, we had down power lines, absolutely no light and droves of kids in black costumes nearly getting hit 

by cars in the dark. It was the single most dangerous situation I ever witnessed in Cooper City and the Mayor was all 

for it It was a miracle no kid was electricuted Bad Bad leadership! 

Posted by: No More Debby 1 May 30, 2008 5:13 PM 

To the petition· gatherers and city leaders: I would like to go on record as objecting to the use of email addresses 

from members of the City's Education Advisory Board, along with those ofother school parent leaders, as a 

recruiting tool in the recall effort I most certainly did not give my email address to the city, to then be used by a 

particular group to further their own political agenda That's wrong. And it was clear that we all got the emails asking 

us to please help collect signatures, because all the recipient email addresses were listed In fact, two such emails 

went out to all of us I guess that's because Elliott had access to the addresses as a former commissioner, but I 

found it very offensive.

The residents of Cooper City also share the view that the boundaries of appropriate conduct of the 

chairperson/mayor are capricious and arbitrary in light of the past year. The failure of the mayor to compote herself 

in a manner of the impartial conductor of the commission meetings as it relates to the total disregard for behavior of 

those whose commentary is of benefit to the mayor political agenda can only be described as abominable 

It is also note notable that the rest of the city commission did not speak up or even comment about the manner of the 

dictatorial posture of the mayors position, rather some commented on the political correctness of the meeting as 

though that allows for any previous egregious mistakes. 

That is a little scary.

Is Elliot and company so stupid that they think we would believe they DID NOT KNOW the cost of a recall before 

starting it Bunk!!!! 

Posted by: No More Debby I May 30, 2008 5:26 PM 



It is so transparent that they were attempting a recall only to discredit Commissioner Sims. Does anyone ACTUALLY 

think that they did not know the cost of a recall before starting it They are like condo-commandos and should just 

move to a place where people appreciate bullsh!t.

I. I ', 

• 

Request was made by Lori Green for the City Clerk to research the 

.. cost of running a primary election. 

Walt Jolliff mentioned a bill that would create earlier qualifying dates 

and may affect this issue. 

Atty.. Wolpin clarified that the bill in question states that 

municipalities that have November general elections in evennumbered 

calendar years, shall not have primary elections .. 

City Manager Loucks, suggested that the board look at Section 7.02 

of the Charter which states that a Charter Review Board shall 

convene every five years and contains very specific language, which 

does not work in direct conjunction with the election schedule .. He 

suggested that the board look at changing the language to reflect a 

schedule that falls to even-numbered years. 

Consensus was reached to have this issue placed on the next 

meeting Agenda with the suggested language provided by 

staff. 

Skip Klauber introduced Section LOS (1) and (2) Boards and 

agencies and Section 1.06 City attorney as areas for possible 

clarification.. He addressed Section 3.01 and the "at large" election 

system .. 

Walt Jolliff introduced Sections 5.09 and 4 .. 01 as areas that may need 

further clarification. 

Chair, Greg Ross, made a recommendation to add web site and City 

building postings to Section 3 .. 10(2) .. David Rouse added that 3.10(3) 

should include public notice as well. 

A. How Filling a Vacancy Impacts Term Limits - (And all of Article III)

BACKGROUND & RECOMMENDATION (attach backup material to Item Request Form) 

In December of2{)09, CJ's Landscaping was awarded a bid to provide. for the mowing of 

specified City parks, building grounds and roadways. The original bid was for 30 

months, with two, annual renewal options. The contractor and Public Works desire to 

renew the contract. The contract calls for a 3% increase in the pricing of the original 

bid .. The cost for the grounds mowing is $163,734. It was recommended that the 

renewal be approved. At the Febmary 28, 2012 Council meeting, the renewal request 

for bid 2010-1, Grounds Mowing and Maintenance was denied with direction for the 

City Manager to contact the Contractor to determine if he was willing to negotiate a 

reneWal of the bid for less than the 3% increase that is specified in the bid. The City 

Manager reported the results of his conversation at the March 27th Council meeting. The 

matter was requested to be place on the April10, 2012 agenda. A summary of the bid 

information is included as backup

Summary of Mowing Bid renewal - 

In December of 2009, the Council awarded bid #2010-·1 for contractual Grounds 

Mowing to CJ's Landscaping .. At the same time they also awarded bid #201 0-2 for 

Landscape Maintenance to CJ's .. Both bids were for a 30 month period with two one 

year renewals if agreeable to both sides .. Both bids called for a 3% increase in the 

original bid amounts for each renewal 

Renewal requests for both bids were on the February 27 Council agenda with the 

recommendation from Public Works for a'pproval to extend both bids .. Bid# 2010-2 for 

Landscape Maintenance was approved for renewal. Bid #201 0-1 for Grounds Mowing 

and Maintenance was not approved for renewal, with the Council directing the City 

Manager to negotiate with the Contractor to determine if he is agreeable to renew for 

less than the 3% increase called for in the bid. 

To provide background on the bid, below is a summary of the amounts from the lowest 

bidders from the original bid: · 

- .-- 

Bidder 

Mowing Bid 

----- Landscape' Bid Total Both Bids 

-- 

r£ls Landscaping $140,839 $22,207 $163,046 

- 

EDJ Service $160 488 $$73,856 $234,344 

- - 

··- 

Prestige Prop .. $159,049 $$81,600 $240,649 

Maint 

..... 

$ 244,422 -·---- 

Landscape Service $185,640 $58 782 

Elan Lawn Service $216,525 $57,690 ,_,_ $274,215 

Southern Exposure $230,010 $63,840 

- 

$293,850 

As shown above, CJ's was $71,298 lower on their total for the two bids than the next 

lowest bidder's totaL Adding 3% to the bid amount, his total bid would still be lower 

than the next lowest bidder by $66,407. 

- 

·---- 

The contractor was contacted to see if he would negotiate a renewal for less than the 

3% increase specified in the bid. He expressed his gratitude to the City for this · 

consideration, but due to rising operational costs over the past 2+ years, he feels he 

needs this increase to be able to maintain a satisfactory operating margin. 

Since the time of the original award, we have added 9 parks and 4 Right of Way areas 

to the locations being maintained by the Contractor The total cost of contractual 

mowing is now $166,124 A 3% increase in these costs will come to $4,984, making 

the total $171,108 This amount, combined with the landscape maintenance cost would 

be: 

Mowing costs 

Landscape costs 

Total all costs 

$171 > 108 

$ 22,873 

$193,981 

To illustrate the value of this renewal, this amount includes: 9 added parks and 4 Right 

of Way areas, plus the 3% increase called for in the bid .. Even with those additional 

costs, CJ's is $40,363 lower than the second bidder's total in the original bid- and the 

second bidder's amount does not include the added parks, right of ways or the 3% 

increase ..

< 

Public Work's recommendation to renew the bid was made due to the following factors: 

1- The contractor has performed very welL 

2- The contractor's original bid was $71,298 less than the next lowest 

bidder, and would still be lower by $66,407 even with a 3% increase .. 

3-· The contractor would be lower than the second lowest original bidder by 

$40,363 even with the additional costs of 9 added parks and 4 right of 

way areas to the original bid locations, and adding the 3% increase 

4·· The belief that renewing the contract, even with the 3% increase, will 

provide significant savings to the City for the costs of these services over 

what rebidding would bring

City History: Incorporated 1959. Russian immigrant Morris Cooper founded Cooper City in 1958. In 

1959, Cooper City's homes sold for $11,900 to $15,900. With the recession of 1963, 

those same homes sold for an average of $10,000. Morris Cooper advertised Cooper City 

for sale in the Wall Street Journal when the bottom fell out of the real estate market in 

the early 1960s. As we know by its continued name, there were no takers Morris 

Cooper constructed the town ·s only water plant (adjacent to City Hall)
