12
13 W HEREA S, the City of Hallandale Beach (the "City"), its Mayor, City Commission, hereby
14 express concern for the health and wellbeing of all Broward County students (transitional
15 kindergarten through 12th grade) as well as all Broward County teachers, school bus drivers and
16 support staff (including custodians); and
17
18 W HER EA S, the City supports the safety for all school employees and students as well as
19 saving taxpayer dollars via bulk purchasing; and
20
21 W HE R EA S, public schools in Broward County play an essential role in the educational
22 and social development of children and in the functioning of the economy; and
23
24 W HER EAS, the need to reopen schools this fall is essential, but should be done with
25 careful consideration, prioritizing the safety of students and their families, teachers and school
26 support staff, school bus drivers, and the broader community, but not without implementing and
27 procuring supplemental resources such as hygiene products and PPE (personal protective
28 equipment); and
29
FILE NO. 20-265 RESO 2020-049
30 WHEREAS, personal protective equipment is essential to reduce the risk of infection
31 including wearing a mask or face shield, using gloves when appropriate, washing hands, using
32 hand sanitizer (when age appropriate), sanitizing common surfaces and cleaning schools; and
33
34 WHEREAS, personal protective equipment is especially important for staff and students
35 with special health care needs; and
36 WHEREAS, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that
37 schools support healthy hygiene behaviors by providing adequate supplies, including soap, hand
38 sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol (for staff and older children who can safely use hand
39 sanitizer), paper towels, tissues, disinfectant wipes, cloth face coverings (as feasible) and no-
40 touch/foot pedal trash cans, and
41 WHEREAS, the CDC recommends that schools clean and disinfect frequently touched
42 surfaces (e.g., playground equipment, door handles, sink handles, drinking fountains) within the
43 school and on school buses at least daily or between use as much as possible; and
44 WHEREAS, Broward County School leaders must develop cleaning and disinfection
45 safety protocols, and procure a series of supplemental resources to support districts and schools
46 as they implement these protocols; and
47 WHEREAS, buying PPE in bulk reduces the cost per unit and can reduce how much
48 Broward County pays in the long run on supplies and products; and
49
FILE NO. 20-265 RESO 2020-049
50 WHEREAS, family budgets have already been strained as many have been without work
51 or had a decrease in income because of the virus, making childcare essential for many families
52 to be able to return to work; and
53
54 WHEREAS, most notably, inequities exist within our health system as COVID-19 data
55 shows that our Black and Brown communities are more likely to be infected and die from the virus
56 due to underlying health conditions, social structures, and access to resources.
57
58 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
59 HALLANDALE BEACH , FLORIDA:
60
61 Section 1. Recitals. That the recitals and findings contained above are hereby

63
64
65 Section 2. This City Commission calls on Broward County education leaders to provide
66 Broward County students, teachers and school employees with PPE (personal protective
67 equipment) which is essential to reduce the risk of infection including wearing a mask or face
68 shield, using gloves when appropriate, washing hands, using hand sanitizer (when age
69 appropriate), sanitizing common surfaces and cleaning schools, and doing so by buying PPE in
70 bulk which reduces the cost per unit and can reduce how much Broward County pays.
71
72 Section 3. Transmittal. The City Clerk is directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to
73 the Board of Broward County Public Schools, Broward County Mayor Dale Holness, the Board of
74 Broward County Commissioners, the Executive Director of the Florida League of Cities, and the

6 PREVENTION ACT." A BILL TO ENSURE THAT GOODS MADE WITH
7 FORCED LABOR IN THE XINJIANG UYGHUR AUTONOMOUS REGION
8 OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA DO NOT ENTER THE
9 UNITED STATES MARKET, AND CONDEMNING THE GOVERNMENT
10 OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA'S TARGETED CAMPAIGN
11 OF REPRESSION OF MUSLIM ETHNIC MINORITIES; FURTHER
12 DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO TRANSMIT A COPY OF THIS
13 RESOLUTION TO THE OFFICIALS NAMED HEREIN; AND PROVIDING
14 FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
15
16 WHEREAS, the City of Hallandale Beach (the "City"), its Mayor and City
RESOLUTION NO. 2020 - 051
17 Commission, publicly denounce human trafficking and forced labor known to be a horrific
18 assault on human dignity and condemn this form of human rights violation via persecution
19 targeting any identifiable ethnic or religious group and deem this to be modern day slavery;
20 and
21 WHEREAS, the phrase "Never again" is associated with the Holocaust and other
22 genocides, and should also be coined when addressing the gross violations of human
23 rights in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region; and
24
25 WHEREAS, the City actively promotes the acceptance of every race, ethnicity and
26 religion; and
27
28 WHEREAS, in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, the Government of the
29 People's Republic of China has established a system of extrajudicial mass internment
30 camps arbitrarily detaining as many as 1,800,000 Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and
31 members of other Muslim minority groups who have been subjected to forced labor,
32 torture, political indoctrination, and severe human rights abuses; and
33
34 WHEREAS, the forced labor experienced by Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and
35 members of other Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of
36 the People's Republic of China is systematic and widespread and therefore constitutes an
37 atrocity within the meaning of section 6 of the Elie Wiesel Genocide and 9 Atrocities
38 Prevention Act of 2018 (Public Law 115 441; 10 22 U.S.C. 2656 note); and
1 RESO 2020 -051
FILE NO. 20-266
39
40 WHEREAS, there is a very high risk that many factories and other suppliers in the
41 Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region are exploiting forced labor, according to reports from
42 researchers, media, and civil society groups. Audits to vet products and supply chains in
43 the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region are not possible because of the extent to which
44 forced labor has contaminated the regional economy, the mixing of involuntary labor with
45 voluntary labor, and the inability of witnesses to speak freely about working conditions
46 given heavy government surveillance and coercion, and the strong incentive of
47 government officials to conceal government-sponsored forced labor; and
48
49 WHEREAS, the City hereby denounces the forced labor, torture, political
50 indoctrination, and severe human rights abuses and religious persecution of minority
51 Muslims in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China;
52 and
53
54 WHEREAS, the City supports ensuring that goods made with forced labor in the
SS Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region do not enter the United States.

64
65 Section 2. Condemnation. That the City Commission hereby condemns the
66 forced labor within the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region's system of mass internment
67 camps, and throughout the region, as is confirmed by the testimony of former camp
68 detainees, satellite imagery, and official leaked documents from the Government of the
69 People's Republic of China as part of a targeted campaign of repression of Muslim ethnic
70 minorities.
71
72 Section 3. Transmittal. The City Clerk is directed to transmit a copy of this

7 TRANSMIT A COPY OF THIS RESOLUTION TO THE APPROPRIATE

9
10 WHEREAS, the federal government has expressed interest in opening the waters
RESOLUTION NO. 2020 - 058
11 off the coast of Florida to offshore oil and gas development and exploration, including risky
12 methods such as seismic airgun blasting; and
13
14 WHEREAS, in January 2018, the Department of the Interior released its draft
15 2019-2024 national Outer Continental Shelf (CS) Oil and Gas Leasing Program which
16 governs when and where the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management can offer offshore
17 drilling leases to the oil and gas industry; and
18
19 WHEREAS, the Program proposes to open over 90% of total OCS acreage to dirty
20 and dangerous offshore drilling which would open the Atlantic and Pacific to drilling for the
21 first time in three decades and outlines the largest number of potential offshore leases
22 ever offered by any president; and
23
24 WHEREAS, exploratory and commercial drilling, extraction, and transportation of
25 offshore oil and gas resources pose a significant risk of an oil spill and leakage: and
26
27 WHEREAS, eventual offshore drilling may require significant onshore
28 infrastructure such as pipelines or refineries, which would harm the character of the coast;
29 and
30
31 WHEREAS, offshore drilling proposals threaten the continued prosperity of coastal
32 communities and states whose economies are inextricably linked to clean, oil-free
33 shorelines; and.
34
35 WHEREAS, communities along the Atlantic Coast rely on healthy ocean
36 ecosystems to support jobs in fishing, recreation and tourism; and
1 RESO 2020 -058
FILE NO 20-253
37
38 W H E R E A S , offshore drilling activities pose threats to treasured vacation
39 destinations on Florida's coasts which are of intrinsic economic value for numerous
40 industries and serve as essential nursery habitats for recreational commercially important
41 fisheries; and
42
43 W H E R EA S , the City of Hallandale Beach recognizes that the tourism and fishing
44 industries, which depend on a healthy and vibrant coastal environment, both serve as
45 major economic drivers benefiting the current and future residents, property owners, and
46 visitors to Florida; and
47
48 W H E R EA S , the City of Hallandale Beach endeavors to be a good steward of the
49 state and region' environment and its resources; and
so
51 W H E R EA S , exploration and development of oil and gas resources off the coast of
52 Florida will not effectively address the long-term energy needs of our country; and
53
54 W H E R E A S , the City of Hallandale Beach finds it more economically and
SS ecologically responsible to pursue non-polluting sources of renewable energy, such as
56 solar and wind, which pose less risk to the coastal environment and economic health
5 7 before using uncertain methods of seismic airgun blasting for offshore oil and gas
58 deposits; and
59
60 W H E R EA S , the Mayor and City Commission find that expressing its opposition to
