CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Taylor called the meeting to order at 7: 02 p.m. on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 on the 2nd Floor of the Opa-locka Municipal Complex, 780 Fisherman Street, Opa-locka, Florida. 2. ROLL CALL: The following members of the Opa-locka City Commission were present: Vice Mayor Dorothy Johnson, Commissioner Gail Miller, Commissioner Timothy Holmes, and Mayor Myra L. Taylor. Also in attendance were: City Manager Kelvin L. Baker, Sr., City Attorney Joseph S. Geller and Interim City Clerk Joanna Flores. Commissioner Rose Tydus arrived at 7: 06 p.m. 3. INVOCATION: The Invocation was delivered by Mayor Myra L. Taylor. 4. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison. Vice Mayor Johnson thanked everyone for their prayers for her father. Mayor Taylor made a statement in regards to the recent newspaper article that raised questions about the operation and management of the city' s police department. The story did not present changes the city made and addressed many of those past issues. Many of the assertions in the article were outdated, some were decades old and have been addressed. Like other municipalities, the city has it struggles, but they have made great strives in many areas. The article was unduly sensational and did not capture the current state of affairs in the City of Opa- locka. The City Manager must do due diligence to protect this city and make necessary additional changes to strengthen those areas that are weak and fix the problem areas.
