THE MARTIN COUNTY FAIR WILL START. UM AND SO IF YOU ARE FREE, PLEASE GO OUT AND JOIN THEM. THEY'RE STILL AT THE SAME LOCATION. THAT THEY WERE AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR THEM TO BE WITH US OUT IN INDIAN TOWN NEXT YEAR. THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED OF A LIGHT BILL ASSISTANCE ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY TO 13TH FROM 9 TO 12 AT THE BELT TO A M E CHURCH HERE IN INDIAN TOWN. THEY'LL BE OFFERING LIGHT BILL ASSISTANCE IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ME OR GO TO MY FACEBOOK OR THE INDIAN TOWN. COMMUNITY FACEBOOK PAGE FOR THAT INFORMATION. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY AND I'M SURE THE REST OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH MR ELLIS FROM THE GREEN CARBON SOLUTION. COMPANY WHO'S GOING TO BE COMING TO THE NORTH NORTH PART OF INDIAN TOWN IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY DO, PLEASE CONTACT ONE OF US SO THAT WILL BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT IT SEEMS LIKE SOME VERY GOOD GREEN ENERGY, AND I THINK THIS WOULD BE VERY, VERY BENEFICIAL TO THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TALENT IN THE MONTHS AND YEARS TO COME. WITH SUSTAINABLE GREEN ENERGY SO AGAIN, THAT COMPANY IS GREEN CARBON GREEN CARBON SOLUTIONS. LAST COUNCIL MEETING. UM I DRAFTED A LETTER SEEKING SUPPORT FROM GOVERNOR TO SANTA'S TOE HAVE A PERMANENT VACCINE SITE HERE IN INDIAN TOWN VERSUS JUST THE PUBLIC'S, UH AND SO I WANTED TO THINK THIS COUNCIL ALL OF THEM, SIGNED IT AND SENT THAT LETTER WAS SENT TO GOVERNOR THE SANTIS LAST WEEK. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT AND SHOUT OUT TO OUR CLERK FOR GETTING THE STRUCTURE AND EVERYTHING TOGETHER SO THAT WE CAN PRESENT THAT TO THE GOVERNOR. ALSO LAST WEEK, THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN WAS REWARDED $350,000 IN THE GRANT IN ORDER TO TURN THE INDIAN TOWN CIVIC CENTER AND TO A PET SHELTER FOR THE HURRICANE. I THINK THIS IS AMAZING, AND IT SHOWS THE PROGRESS THAT THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN IS MAKING. UH WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS. UM THIS GRANT IS REIMBURSEMENT GRANT. SO WHICH MEANS THAT, UM, AS WE ARE MAKING THE UPGRADES. TO THE BUILDING. THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT WILL RETURN THAT MONEY TO US AND I DON'T KNOW HOWARD. IF. WITH THIS GRANT. WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE SURE THAT BECAUSE I THINK WE THE VALUE OF THIS PROPERTY IS LIKE 130,000. AND HERE WE ARE GOING

[00:05:03]

THERE. THEY DON'T NEED TO BE IN AGREEMENT A WRITTEN AGREEMENT. BETWEEN US AND THE TOWN CIVIC CLUB. IS IT ALSO POSSIBLE TO? I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE CITY CLUB HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE. OR WHETHER OR NOT, UM WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. BUT IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN PUT IN THAT AGREEMENT THAT THAT PROPERTY CAN BE DEEDED TO US? UM. DOWN THE ROAD OR WE HAVE THE FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL OR CAN WE ADD THAT BECAUSE I THINK AS WE ARE INVESTING UM. IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WAIT. ARE HOLDING ON TO WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE. MAKES SENSE. MAKES NEXT DRESS. YEAH IT'S A TYPICAL PROVISIONED.

WHEN YOU'RE TAKING A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF GOVERNMENT MONEY AND PUTTING IT INTO A PUBLIC FACILITY OF NOTES. PRIVATE FACILITY, BUT IT'S YOU KNOW, FOUR FOR THE BENEFIT THE PUBLIC AT THIS TIME THAT YOU PUT SOME SORT OF ENCUMBRANCE ON IT THAT IT MAINTAINS THAT PUBLIC ORIENTATION, SO THAT'S VERY COMMON. SO YEAH, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING WILL LOOK AT AS WE SORT THAT OUT WITH HIM. THANK YOU. AND THE REASON WHY I ASK THAT, BECAUSE, UM. I'VE RENTED THE BUILDING AND MANY OTHERS HAVE RENTED THE BUILDING AND ITS ACTION. AH MIKEL, IN MY OPINION, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, IT IS THE ASTRONOMICAL PRICE THERE THERE. REQUIRING $200 FOR DEPOSIT THAT AND THEN YOU KNOW. WHATEVER THE LENGTH. THAT YOU RENT AND SO IF WE ARE SAYING THAT THIS IS A COMMUNITY BUILDING, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PRICES ARE, UM. LITTLE BIT CHEAPER. SO THAT SO THAT RESIDENTS CAN CONTINUE TO USE THE FACILITY, BUT IT DOESN'T COST A MORMON LEG TO USE THE FACILITY, SO BECAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN MY FATHER PASSED I WAS OUT OF POCKET 500 BUCKS JUST TO USE IT FOR SEVERAL. YOU KNOW, A FEW HOURS, SO CAN WE ALSO CONSIDER THAT AS WELL AS WE MOVE FORWARD. I'LL SPEAK WITH ANYTIME. CIVIC LOVE ABOUT IT PERFECT AGAIN. CONGRATULATIONS AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS. THIS PET SHELTER THAT'S COMING TO THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. UM. OH, UM, LAST LAST COUNCIL MEETING, UM WAS PROMOTING IN THE VILLAGE COUNCIL WAS PROMOTING OUR VILLAGE NEWSLETTER AND HAPPY REPORT. IF IF YOU COULD HELP ME OUT, DANIEL THAT WE ARE MILLING THE NEWSLETTER TO RESIDENTS. HOMES YES. OKAY, SO, UM SO BE LOOKING IN THE MAIL FOR YOUR NEWSLETTER. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT WAY THAT WE CAN GET INFORMATION OUT. AND IN THIS, THIS NEW WORLD WE FIND OURSELVES AND SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. THE LAST THING BEFORE I RELINQUISH IS JUST A HEADS UP THE VILLAGE OF THE VILLAGE OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY AND OBSERVING THE PRESIDENTS OF PRESIDENT'S DAY SO PLEASE MONDAY WILL BE CLOSED.

I KNOW THAT THE INDIAN TOWN CIVIC CLUB HAS WORKED LONG AND HARD AND IN ORDER TO GET WHERE THEY WERE IN ORDER TO BRING THIS FORWARD AND SUGGEST THIS. A LOT OF WORK ON THEIR PART, UM. I DON'T KNOW HOW APPROPRIATE OR IF WE CAN REQUIRE THEM TO ADJUST THEIR PRICE TO SUIT US. I THINK THAT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S A PRIVATE THING, AND I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY DO. COURSE WEEKEND SUGGEST THINGS, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S ANYTHING THAT WE CAN REGULATE. ALSO IN THE COMING DAYS. KEEP YOUR EYES OUT. FOR, UM THEY COMING? COVERT VACCINATIONS.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

[3.  

RESOLUTION NO. XXX-2021:  A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF INDIANTOWN, FLORIDA, TO TAKE ALL STEPS NECESSARY TO RENAME ADAMS AVENUE AS E. THELMA WATERS AVENUE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

HEALTHY A JEFFERSON FOR THE RECORD COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. SO THE LAST TIME WE WENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS YOU ACTUALLY STAFF TO TAKE ACTION FOR THE MAGNOLIA STREET NAME CHANGE. SO I BELIEVE YOUR ACTIONS TONIGHT IS. YOU FEEL THAT RESOLUTION. AND IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING THIS VILLAGE INITIATED AS THE LAST TIME NAME CHANGE, THEN WE JUST WOULD TAKE THE STEPS. HERE. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE PURSUANT TO THE CODE, WHICH IS TO SEND OUT A NOTICE AND ALSO ADVERTISED. THE HEARING WHERE WE WILL OFFICIALLY CHANGED THE NAME. AND INVITE THE AFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS WHOSE ADDRESSES WOULD BE CHANGING. AND FROM THAT POINT AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING, YOU WOULD JUST HAVE THE STREET SIGNS INSTALLED. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? NOT MAY HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE VLADIMIR UM. QUESTION A COUPLE, ACTUALLY, UM HM? MISS JEFFERSON, CAN YOU OR ANYBODY EXPLAIN WHY WE'RE DOING THE NAME CHANGE AFTER WE APPROVE? NAME CHANGE FOR ANOTHER STREET. WELL THAT'S GONNA BE A QUESTION FOR THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THROUGH OUR REPRESENTED ON THAT BOARD. GREAT COUNCIL MEMBERS.

SUSAN GETS THOMAS. YES THE CHAMBER RECEIVED A LETTER THIS WAS NOT INITIATED INITIATED BY THE CHAMBER. OR MYSELF. WE RECEIVED A LETTER. IS IT ATTACHED TO ANY OF THIS? YES OKAY, SO WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE FAMILY. REQUESTING UM, LAYING OUT ALL THE REASONS AND IT WAS A IT WAS THEIR DESIRE. UM AND AS THE CHAMBER RESIDENT WHO CHOSE THE STREET IN THE INITIAL CHANGING OF THE NAME. IT, UM. WELL, THAT WAS JUST A WITH THE CHAMBER MEETING WITH THE CHAMBER SITTING IN THE OFFICE WITH THE VILLAGE MANAGER AND TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUE. WE HAVE THE PROCEDURE, BUT WE HAVE NO POLICY. WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT SAYS, AND FROM

[00:30:05]

THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE COUNCIL. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THERE WASN'T ANY DISCUSSION IS TO DO IT ANY OTHER WISE. AND SO IT WAS THE FAMILY THAT CAME FORWARD AND WROTE A LETTER AND SPELLED OUT YOU KNOW THEIR REASONING AND THEIR WISHES. BRING IT ON GUY.

I APPRECIATE THAT THAT EXPLANATION AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. UM. FUNNY ON WEDNESDAY. I ASKED SOME RANDOM PERSON HAVE YOU EVER MET ANYBODY WHO EXPERIENCED THE NAME CHANGE? UM WHO HAD A STREET NAMED AFTER THEM? AND I THINK HE WAS LIKE 65. HE SAID.

NO. SO I KNOW THAT THESE OCCURRENCES ARE RARE. I THINK THAT, UM, SINCE THIS IS NEW AND SINCE SHE IS STILL WITH US, I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATE. TOMKINSON ULT, MAYBE HER, HER FAMILY AND ON THINGS OF THAT NATURE BEFORE THIS NAME CHANGE, BECAUSE THIS IS THE ISSUE THAT I'M TAKING WITH WITH WITH WITH WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT WITH THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE IS THAT, UM, OUR STAFF WORKS VERY, VERY HARD AND AT OUR LAST MEETING WE APPROVE THE NAME CHANGE. IT WAS CELEBRATED OVER THE STATE OF FLORIDA. UM UH, I'M SURE DANIEL SENT OUT A PRESS RELEASE CONCERNING IT LAST COUPLE WEEKS AGO WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE WAY HAVE A NAME CHANGE OR LOCATION CHANGE. AND FOR ME PERSONALLY, THIS LOOKS BAD FOR THE VILLAGE CONSIDERING ONE THIS IS OUR FIRST ONE. AND THEN TO, UM IT JUST SEEMS LIKE, UH. IT WASN'T PROPERLY PLANNED, I GUESS, UM, BUT AS AS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.

I HOPE THAT WE ARE IN A POSITION TO HAVE ALL THE DETAILS WORKED OUT BEFORE WE DO THAT. SO YOU KNOW, UH, LOVE MISS WATERS. SHE'S UH, I'VE SAID THIS AND IN PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETINGS BEFORE THAT, SHE HAS CHANGED MY DIAPERS. WHO KNEW ME BEFORE I KNEW MYSELF, AND I THINK IT IT DOES A DISSERVICE TO HER AND HER FAMILY THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS AGENDA WHEN IT WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A ONE SHOT KILL. UM AND SO I HOPE THAT MOVING FORWARD AS WE HONOR FOLKS. WITH WHICH CHANGING OF THE NAME AND ALL OF THAT THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE ALL OF THAT DONE PRIOR, BECAUSE IF IT DOES PROCEED TONIGHT, THEN WE HAVE TO SIT OUT ANOTHER PRESS ROOM. IT LOOKS BAD ON THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, AND I KNOW THAT WE ARE THE DECISION MAKERS AND I KNOW THAT IT WAS IT WASN'T A NINTENDO CHANNEL THING TOE HURT A CAUSE IN THE ISSUES, BUT I THINK WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO SET THE STANDARD AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD AS THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GETTING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND SO WHATEVER THIS COUNCIL DECIDES, I WILL GO WITH IT. BUT YOU KNOW, I HOPE THAT MOVING FORWARD THAT WE GET ALL OF THE DUCKS IN A ROW BEFORE WE HAVE TO COME AND DO A NAME STREET CHANGE, UM AND PERSONALLY, JUST JUST ME, UH, I THOUGHT IT WAS WONDERFUL HAVING THE STREET THAT SHE, AS YOU SAID, GREW HER FAMILY UP ON UM, YOU KNOW, RAISE RAISE HER FAMILY. EXCUSE ME, HAS LIVED THERE FOR AGES FOR THAT ENTIRE STREET TO BE NAMED AFTER HER.

SO UH, WITH THAT, I JUST HOPE THAT WE. TAKE THOSE THINGS INTO CONSIDERATION AS WE MOVE FORWARD. THANK YOU. MADAM MAYOR IF I MAY. COUNCILMAN GIVES THOMAS UM APPRECIATE THOSE WORDS. ALSO HINDSIGHT'S 2020. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAVE DONE IT. I DON'T THINK THAT IT WAS A FAILING ON ANYBODY'S PART ON THIS COUNCIL OR ON THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

[00:35:03]

MAYBE BRINGING IN MORE PEOPLE. UM MAYBE THAT IS CONSIDERATION MOVING FORWARD AND WE CREATE A POLICY. SO THAT WE CAN FOLLOW. I DON'T THINK IT MAKES THIS COUNCIL LOOKS LOOK BAD WHATSOEVER. I THINK IT MAKES US BEING RESPONSIVE TO THE FAMILY'S WISHES, I THINK MAKES US LOOK PROACTIVE AND SENSITIVE. THEO MAKING SURE THAT SHE GETS THE HONOR THAT SHE IS. DO, UM, I I'M SORRY THAT YOU FEEL THAT WAY. BUT I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING WAS DONE PROPERLY, AND WE'RE JUST BEING SENSITIVE TO THE FAMILY'S NEEDS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS? BEFORE I BRING THE FAMILY. I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE BEFORE WE EVEN HAVE A MOTION TO BRING THEM UP. AND MADAM THERE UP. AFTER THE FAMILY SPEAKS BEFORE EMOTIONS.

MAY I HAVE A PROCEDURAL SUGGESTION, BUT WE CAN GET TO THAT WHEN SOMEONE'S GONNA MAKE MONEY. NO OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS. QUESTION HOW? YES I HAD MY HAND UP RAISED WORKING. I CAN'T VICE MAYOR VICE MARY, YOU CAN GO AHEAD. OH, NO, UM THE HONOR IS DEFINITELY A GREAT THING. WE'RE GOING FOR THIS WATER. I THINK WHERE THE DISCONNECT WHAT IS NO FAULT DO YOU MISS? IT ISN'T BUT IF THE COUNCIL WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE INVOLVED, BECAUSE A LOT OF US DON'T KNOW MISS WATERS. I THINK THAT'S WHAT AWESOME. IT WAS TIME TO RELATE. IN LIFE. I BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A VILLAGE HAVING A POLICY IN PLACE BROUGHT. THIS GOES FROM THE CHAMBERS AND WE WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO IT BECAUSE IT WAS WATER IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, BUT WAIT FOR WORD DO WE HAVE TO PUT A POLICY IN PLACE? OR HUMAN STREETS AFTER PEOPLE. YOU COULD IF YOU CHOSE TO, UM, I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE, YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE RENAMING MANY STREETS. SO JUST WONDERING. YEAH, IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING BECAUSE THAT SUIT I'M JUST SAYING, DO WE HAVE TO HAVE A POLICY? THERE'S NOTHING THAT WOULD REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE A POLICY. OKAY? WE LIVE. WE LEARN. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. YEAH. EXPRESSION. SO DOES THE FAMILY WANT TOE COME UP AND SPEAK? BEFORE WE VOTE, MAKE A MOTION. MM. YES. THAT'S THE BUTTON. GOOD EVENING COUNSEL MADE HIM MADAM MAYOR, MADAM VICE MAYOR. YEAH, THIS IS YEAH. OKAY. I HAVE A BIG MOUTH, SO IF WE'RE GOOD UM. THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT. I THINK WE THINK THE VILLAGE WE THINK THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. OR JUST THE IDEA OF HONORING MY MOM. WE WROTE THE LETTER AND SENT IT TO ACTUALLY I TOOK IT TO THE CHAMBER. BECAUSE FOR ME, THAT'S WHERE IT ORIGINATED.

THAT'S WHAT I KNEW THEY CONSIDERED A SURPRISE FOR MOM. THE NAME MAGNOLIA AFTER TO CHANGE THE NAME FROM MAGNOLIA TEA, VELMA WATERS. I'M SORRY. I FORGOT TO TELL YOU. I'M PHYLLIS WATER'S BROWN. THISTLES COLIN WATERS, MY BROTHER AND MY HUSBAND, HOWARD BROWN, THE OTHER, HOWEVER, BROWN. I TOOK THE LETTER TO THE CHAMBER BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE I FIGURED IT ORIGINATED FROM THAT.

THE REASONS THAT WE ASKED FOR ADAM'S AVENUE TO BE NAMED AFTER MOM. UM MOM WAS INSTRUMENTAL AND DOING QUITE A BIT OF WORK HEARING INDIAN TIME WHILE WE THOUGHT WE WERE JUST NORMAL PEOPLE. SHE WAS AROUND. THE LIBRARY WHERE IT'S JUST NOW WAS A MOBILE LIBRARY THERE PRIOR TO THE BUILDING BEING THERE, INSTRUMENTAL DO TO MOM. THE

DRILL DOWN PRECISELY NUMBERS. WE'VE WE'VE GOT NUMBERS HERE, WHICH WHERE THEIR INITIAL PROPOSAL WOZ, BUT UH, THE THOUGHT WAS THAT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TONIGHT.

JUST HEAR ABOUT IT TONIGHT AND THEN, PERHAPS AT THE NEXT MEETING, BRING IT BACK AND SEE IF WE'VE GOT ANYTHING A LITTLE BIT MORE TUNED UP ALONG THE NUMBERS LINE IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT WITH YOU ALL. UM SO. YEAH. I MEAN, THAT'S WITH THAT, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT WITH WITH

[6.  

Authorization for the Village Manager to Enter Into a Contract with Nue Urban Concepts for a Mobility Plan & Mobility Fee Study in an Amount Not to Exceed $215,250.00 in a Form Acceptable to the Village Attorney.

I'M DOING THAT FOR SEVERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENTS RIGHT NOW. UM. BEGAN THOSE FEES ARE RELATIVELY STRAIGHTFORWARD MOBILITY FEED ITSELF IN THE PLANNING THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT IS FAR MORE DETAIL THAN EITHER PARK OR THE FIRE IMPACT FEES. AND SO WITH THAT, I CAN. I DON'T KNOW THE WELL, PERSON NEEDS TO SHARE. SCREENING OR FINDING TO SHARE THE SCREEN. HERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT. RIGHT HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ALL SEE THAT ON, DON'T A MOBILITY PLAN IS REALLY A FOUR LOOKING VISION FOR HOW THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO MOVE PEOPLE. WHERE THEY ELECT TO DRIVE RIGHT A BIKE WALK, USED TRANSIT OR SOME OTHER FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. ESSENTIALLY IT'S LOOKING OVER A 20 YEAR PERIOD FOR HOW'S THE BEST WAY TO MOVE PEOPLE AROUND IN YOUR COMMUNITY? I'M JUST A BRIEF ABOUT MYSELF. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 20 YEARS NOW I HAVE A MASTERS HAVE BEEN REACHED IN PLANNING THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA THE MASSACRES IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION. FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA. I CAN'T JUST CONCURRENCY MANAGER FOR BOTH NATURAL COUNTY AND SARASOTA COUNTY, AND I CREATED THE FIRST MOBILITY POINTING AND FEE WITHIN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. NOW I'M WORKING WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FROM SARASOTA TO ST AUGUSTINE. FROM SEASIDE AND WALTON COUNTY ALL THE WAY DOWN THE MANLY BEACH. TOWARDS IMPLEMENTING THESE. AGAIN THE INTENT OF AH MOBILITY PLANETS

[01:10:03]

AGAIN IT'S REPLACING WHAT IS KNOWN AS TRANSPORTATION. CONCURRENCY THERE'S SOMETHING WHILE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ACROSS FLORIDA ARE LOOKING. IT REALLY IS ABOUT MOVING PEOPLE IN PROVIDING CHOICES, YOU KNOW, IS PRIMARILY ONE WAY TO MOVE A CAR, AND THAT'S TO DRIVE IT.

THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS TO MOVE PEOPLE. WELL THEY WALKED WHERE THEY BIKE WITH THE USED TRANSIT RIDE A SCOOTER RIDE A GOLF CART. THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET AROUND THE COMMUNITY OTHER THAN JUST DRIVING. HOWEVER ONE OF THE BIGGEST IMPEDIMENT IS THERE OFTEN AREN'T SAFE PLACES TO DO SO. AGAIN THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MANY COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA ARE EITHER HAS ALREADY ADOPTED OR IN THE PROCESS OF ADOPTING. AND I HAVE LIKELY DONE 65 TO 70% OF THESE ACROSS THE STATE. THERE ARE NUMBER OF STEPS THAT GO INTO THE PROCESS. I'M YOU'VE RECENTLY ADOPTED A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ACKNOWLEDGES IS AT THE VILLAGE MAY LOOK AT HIM ABILITY, PLANNING THE MOBILITY FEE IN THE FUTURE. SO THE STEPS THAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR IS TO DEVELOP THE PLAN, DEVELOPED THE FEE AND THEN ACTUALLY HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT WOULD PUT THAT FEED INTO EFFECT. AND THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. THIS IS SOMETHING WAS RECENTLY ADOPTED IN THE CITY OF ST AUGUSTINE, WHERE THEY SORT OF LAID OUT A VISION FOR THEIR COMMUNITY TO PROMOTE PARKING ON THE PERIPHERY AND THEN TO USE VARIOUS MODES OF TRANSPORTATION TO GET PEOPLE INTO AND OUT OF THE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN. LIKEWISE ON THE WEST COAST AND CITY OF BRAIN 10, OTHER LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF WATER TAXIS, TRANSIT CIRCULATORS AND EVENTUALLY, EVEN POTENTIAL LIGHT RAIL SERVICE. UP TO THE CITY OF TAMPA. ALL PART OF THEIR OVERALL MOBILITY PLAN.

NOBLE YOUR PLANS ALSO ALLOW YOU TO CONSIDER RE IMAGINE YOU'RE ROADWAYS. SO YOU HAVE THE BEELINE HIGHWAY OR STATE ROAD. 7 10 WORD INTO YOUR COMMUNITY, WHICH IS A MULTI LANE STATE ROAD. A LOT OF COMMUNITIES ARE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO ACCOMMODATE NOT WHOLLY VEHICLES. IT. ALSO PEOPLE WALKING, BIKING THROUGH NEW TRAILS THROUGH WIDER OR PROTECTED BY CLAIMS AND ALSO THROUGH DEDICATED LANES TO TRANSIT. IF YOU'VE EVER DRIVEN TO THE SOUTH OF YOU WITHIN THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE GARDENS PLAN EVENTUALLY FOR MILITARY TRAIL RUNNING THROUGH THEIR CITY. THIS IS ACTUALLY A STEPWISE PROGRESSION OVER 20 YEARS OF WHAT THEY VIEW MILITARY TRAIL, LOOKING LIKE WITHIN THE ACIDITY GOING FROM A SIX LANE ARTERIAL WITH NARROW BY CLAIMS IN A 5 FT SIDEWALK. WIDER BY CLAIMS BETRAYAL EVENTUALLY DEDICATED LANE FOR TRANSIT AND THEN IN THE FUTURE OF POSSIBILITY OF TAKING A COMPLETE LANE FOR MOTOR VEHICLES. AND USING THAT FROM ALL TIME MODEL TRANSPORTATION.

UM RIGHT NOW, THIS IS JUST AH, BRIEF EXCERPT OF WHAT MARIN COUNTY CHARGES TODAY. THEY HAVE ABSENCE OF ACCESS OF 60 DIFFERENT LAND USES THAT THEY CHARGE FEES FOR SO THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF SINGLE FAMILY HOME 800 SQUARE FEET OR LESS. WAS ROUGHLY $3300 TO THE COUNTY IN PARK AND ROBO IMPACT FEES. LARGEST SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPED WELLING. IS OVER 6500 TO THE COUNTY. ABOUT THAT MONEY BASICALLY GOES TO THE COUNTY TODAY. AND PREDOMINANTLY, THEY'RE LIKELY SPENDING A LOT OF THAT MONEY AND STUART AND CLOSER TO THE COAST. AND FROM WHAT I HEARD. A LOT OF THAT MONEY IS NOT BEING SPENT WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. SO PART OF THIS WHOLE PROCESS WOULD ALLOW THE VILLAGE TO OTHER RECAPTURE ALL THAT MONEY.

[01:15:06]

UM, UH, IS DEFINITELY NEEDED. I KNOW THAT FOR THE MONTHS FOR THE MONTHS IN AND POSSIBLY YEARS BECOME, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF THESE DIFFERENT TYPE OF STUDIES SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHERE WE ARE. I THINK ABOUT OUR LAST MEETING. WE HAD, UM, THE RETAIL STUDY.

AND SO THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE STUDIES TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHAT WE ARE AS A WHOLE, SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT. I KNOW WE'RE GONNA PROBABLY TABLE IT UNTIL NEXT WEEK OR ARE TILL OUR NEXT MEETING. UM AND SO, BUT I JUST WANTED TOC SHARE THAT WE DEFINITELY NEED NEED THIS. AND SO I'M EXCITED TOE. SEE WHAT COMES OF IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANY OTHER BROTHER QUESTION? YEAH, IT'S A REAL QUICK QUESTION, MR PAUL, YOU TALKED ABOUT IT ONLY PLUS A NEW DEVELOPMENT. DOES IT ALSO APPLY TO YOU KNOW A PERSON WANTING TO EXPAND THEIR BUILT THEIR HOUSE LIKE THEY WANT TO BUILD A NEW ADDITION ON THE HOUSE. WHAT THAT ADDITION ALSO BE. WHAT THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED NEW DEVELOPMENT AND BE PART OF A CALCULATION THERE. THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION. AND REALLY, IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU STRUCTURE YOUR ORDINANCE AND STRUCTURE.

FAITH ON DO ULTIMATELY THAT BECOMES A POLICY DECISION. I'M IN FRONT OF YOU ALL WHETHER YOU WANT TO CHARGE. DEVELOPMENT AND SOMEBODY THAT WANTS TO DO IN ADDITION UM AH, FIE. OR WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY IT AND I WOULD SAY IT'S 50 50.

SOME LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WANT TO LARGE COURT. AND THEY STRUCK THEIR FEET ON A PER SQUARE FOOT BASIS TO ALLOW THEM TO DO THAT. OTHERS ESTABLISH IT ON A PER UNIT BASIS. AND THEY SAY ONE PURE HOMES BUILT ESSENTIALLY WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY AGAIN. SO THAT REALLY FROM FROM A TECHNICAL STANDPOINT, YOU CAN ARGUE BOTH WAYS. NOT REALLY. THAT SHOULD BECOMES A POLICY DECISION FOR YOU OFF TO CONSIDER. I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR, MR BROWN. THIS IS

[01:20:09]

I'M THE REPORT HAVE BEEN A PROTRACTED DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE GARDENS AND PALM BEACH COUNTY, GARDENS HAS SUCCESSFULLY HAD ITS OWN FEET IN PLACE. NOW FOR OVER A YEAR, THEY STOPPED COLLECTING PALM BEACH COUNTIES. BROADLY IMPACT FEE AND THEIR CLUCKING THEIR OWN NOBILITY CITY, THE CITY OF THE VARIOUS DOING LIKEWISE UP IN VOLUSIA COUNTY AND THE CITY OF ALTAMONTE SPRINGS. YES, RACISM GOT SEMINOLE COUNTY TO AGREE TO NOT IMPOSE THEIR ROADWAY IN BACK OF YOU WITHIN THE CITY, AND SO THE CITY IS THE ONLY ONE COLLECTING THAT FEAT. UM I'M IN DISCUSSION. JUST LAST WEEK I PRESENTED TO PORT ST LUCIE, WHO'S CONSIDERING DOING THE SAME THING IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. AND NEXT WEEK ELECTION PRESENTING TO FOUR PIERS. WHO'S ALSO LIKEWISE WANTS TO HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER THEIR FUTURE.

IN TERMS OF WHERE THE MONEY GETS SPENT. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MUNICIPALITIES CITIES VILLAGES ACROSS THE STATE OF FLORIDA ARE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW. ON ALL THE ONES THAT I'VE WORKED WITH. THEY'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN TAKING CONTROL THEIR OWN DESTINY, AND THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO WITHSTAND ANY TYPE OF CHALLENGE FROM THE COUNTY BOTH ADMINISTRATIVELY AND LEGALLY. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT THE STAFF CAN BRING THIS? THE SLIDE BACK? UP. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW, I HEARD RIGHT. SO THE IMPACT HE CURRENTLY IS GOING

[01:25:01]

BICYCLIST THEN WE HAVE I'VE RECENTLY BEEN SEEING A LOT OF GOLF CARDS AROUND TOWN. UM HMM.

THERE'S A WHOLE THING THAT I SAW ON YOUR SLIDE, BUT INTERESTING THING, AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE THAT, UM, THE STAFF. IF YOU COULD GIVE THIS TO STOP, SO THEY COME FORWARD TO US.

BECAUSE I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO TALK TO THOSE CITIES THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE PROCESS OF IT BECAUSE I LIKE TO INFORM MYSELF, UM OF THE PROCESS BECAUSE. BEING WITH SOMEONE THAT HAS ALREADY DONE THE PROCESS AND ASKING THEM WHAT HAS BEEN LIKE THEIR STRUGGLES. WHAT POSITIVE OUTCOMES IT HAS. IT HELPS US MAKE A. A DECISION FOR THIS. UM AH. LOT OF THE RESINS ARE ALWAYS CONCERNED OF WHY WE DO STUDIES WELL, BEING A NEW GOVERNMENT. WE DON'T HAVE ANY HISTORY. WE DON'T HAVE ANY STUDIES. UM AND WE HAVE TO DO THIS SO WE CAN PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. AND AS COUNCILMAN, DARL, I KNOW I'VE BEEN A FEW DIFFERENT WORKSHOPS WHERE F D O T IS PLANNING FOR 2045 OR 2025. I FORGOT THE LAST ONE. YEAH, I THINK IT'S 2045. SO IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE COMMUNITY WILL INVOLVE THEY'LL BE. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE GOLF CARTS HERE. UM AND WE HAVE ALL THIS AND WE NEED A PLAN FOR IT. SO, UH, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO KNOW THAT I AM CURRENTLY OUR IMPACT FEES. WE THINK THE NEW DEVELOPMENT MIGHT THEY'RE PAYING YET, BUT IT'S NOT STAYING HERE. IT'S GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE AND BEING USED SOMEWHERE ELSE. JOHN. EAST EAST OF US. YES SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE SOME MONEY. STAY HERE SO THAT WE CAN. INVEST INTO OUR COMMUNITY INTO OUR MOBILITY INTO OUR STREETS AND SO FORTH. UM. AND I KNOW ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS LIKE THE HUGE AMOUNT. BUT LIKE STAFF HAS SAID. SHARPENING THE PENCIL WITH THAT, BECAUSE I'M A, THAT WAS INTERNATIONAL PROPOSAL THAT WAS COMMITTED RELATIVE. THIS DISCUSSION'S GONE RELATIVELY QUICKLY. FOR ONE DAY FROM EARTH TO APPROACH ME TOE TO THIS POINT, SO WE'LL DEFINITELY GET BACK TO NORMAL. SHARPEN THE PENCIL AND GET YOU TO A PLANT. WEAR COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD AND. EXTENT THAT YOU'D LIKE TO REACH OUT TO RECOMMEND THE VILLAGE MANAGER REACHED OUT TO THE CITY MAKE AND YOU'RE A PUBLIC GARDENS. THAT'S YOUR YOU KNOW, YOUR NEIGHBOR DOWN THE STREET, AND THEY SHARE THE

[01:30:03]

NOT THE ONE GIVE SOMETHING I JUST FOR THE EDIFICATION OF THE PUBLIC THAT MAY BE LISTENING IN TALKING ABOUT AN IMPACT FEE THAT IMPACT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THE IMPACT ON THE ROADS. THE IMPACT THAT THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT WILL CREATE TO THE ROADWAYS AND THAT TALKING ABOUT MOBILITY, SO THE MOBILITY HOW IT IS, UM ABLE TO FLOW AND TO BE USED, SO THAT'S REASON IT'S CALLED AN IMPACT FEES BECAUSE IT IMPACT THOSE ROADS, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY KIND OF UNDERSTOOD EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANT. VILLAGE MANAGER. YEAH, I'LL BE REAL QUICK. I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING AT MARTIN COUNTIES. IMPACT FEE SCHEDULE RIGHT NOW.

AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT YOU KNOW AH, HOUSE AT SANDY OAKS WOULD WOULD ACTUALLY PAY FOR ROAD IMPACT FEE. IT'S 28 15. SO 2800. AND FOR PARKS, IT'S 1900. SO HE ADD THAT UP THAT Z OVER $4700 JUST FOR THOSE TWO IMPACT FEES, BUT THAT SAME HOUSE IF THEY ALL IMPACT FEES WITH MARTIN COUNTY. IT'S 8190. SO FOR EVERY HOME THAT'S CONSTRUCTED IN ANY TOWN, THAT'S HOW MUCH MONEY THE COUNTY'S COLLECTING. WAREHOUSE THAT THE SIZE OF ONE IN SANDY OAKS.

VILLAGE ATTORNEY. SO COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS JUST KIND TO BUILD ON THAT AND WHAT I SAID, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE COUNTY IS COLLECTING THESE FEES OUT OF INDIAN TOWN. LIKE IT'S BEEN SAID HOW MUCH IS ACTUALLY COMING BACK TO INDIAN TOWN BECAUSE OUR ROADS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE BEING IMPACTED AND OUR PARKS OR THE ONE SET OF BEING IMPACTED, BUT WE'RE NOT.

COLLECTING ANY OF THIS. REMEMBER MR VILLAGE ATTORNEY? I JUST WANT TO ADD ON TO SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD JUST MENTION ABOUT A QUESTION ABOUT WHY DOES THE VILLAGE DO STUDIES AND SO ON? AND YOU KNOW A NUMBER OF STUDIES THAT THE VILLAGE DOES THAT THE COUNCIL AUTHORIZED AND SO ON THOSE ARE YOU KNOW TO HAVE EXPERTS DRILL DOWN DEEP AND HOW TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN, OR YOU KNOW WHAT THE MARKET IS AIR ALL THIS STUFF. I WANT TO POINT OUT WITH REGARD TO IMPACT FEES AND MOBILITY FEES. ONE OF THE REASONS WE DO A BIG. REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH SHARPER PENCILS EXPENSIVE STUDY IS, BECAUSE THE LAW ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES IT. YOU NEED AH, WHOLE LOT OF LEGAL WHOLE LOT OF TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION. TO GO INTO THE UNDERLYING BASIS FOR ARRIVING AT THOSE IMPACT FEEDS THESE AIR, NOT FEES THAT YOU ALL COULD JUST SIT AROUND HERE AND SAY. YEAH, THIS WOULD BE GOOD NUMBER AND JUST THROW DOWN ON PAPER AND PASS. IT IS SIMPLY NOT THE WAY IT WORKS WITH IMPACT DATES. SO THIS IS A NECESSARY STEP WHEN WE'RE ADDRESSING ANY OF THIS ALONG THESE LINES ESTABLISHING AND MOBILITY FEE AND MOBILITY PLAN SYSTEM ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT HE'S TALKED ABOUT WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT OTHER IMPACT FEES EVALUATING MARTIN COUNTIES, IMPACT FEES, WHAT PORTION OF THAT SHOULD APPROPRIATELY BE. US INSTEAD. AND SO ON. SO. I KNOW. ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER HAS A QUESTION BY CAN'T SEE WHO IT IS. COUNCIL MEMBER CLOCK, MAN. THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION. I JUST WANT WHAT MR JONATHAN. HE SAID THAT HIS MOBILITY STUDY REPLACES THE TRANSPORTATION. SO LIKE YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT THE GOLF CARS, BUT ALSO THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVE DISABILITIES WHO RIDE THOSE, UM YOU KNOW, THEY LITERALLY ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIRS. WE COULD MAKE ROOM FOR THEM AS WELL. ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY MOBILITY FEED GIVES YOU FAR GREATER FLEXIBILITY. TO ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE OF ALL MODES, AND NOT JUST REALLY CARS, AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT UNFORTUNATELY, A RAILWAY IMPACT THE ADDS ROADWAYS. IT DOESN'T REALLY ADDRESS SIDEWALKS. IT DOESN'T ADDRESS A LOT OF THE OTHER NEEDS, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON, CAN'T DRIVE. WHILE YOU KNOW, WHILE THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT, WHETHER THEY'RE PHYSICALLY IMPAIRED, WHETHER THEY'RE TOO YOUNG OR TOO OLD YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT USE A GOLF CART USE A WHEELCHAIR USE OTHER DEVICES TO MOVE AROUND. AND THIS GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO HAVE A FUNDING SOURCE TO HELP BUILD

Village Hall Visual Survey Outreach Schedule

LAST MONTH, AND WE STARTED WITH THE OUTREACH THAT SECOND WEEK OF JANUARY. AND. SINCE THAT TIME WE'VE HELD SEVERAL OPEN HOUSES HERE, IT VILLAGE HALL AND SWEET SEE. AND WE'VE BEEN AT A COUPLE OF EVENTS, MOST RECENTLY LAST WEEK WE WERE INDIAN WOULD THIS'LL PAST SUNDAY. WE WERE AT THE FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER. AND, UM HI. WERE THE FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER ON THE SEVENTH, AND THEN WE HAD ANOTHER OPEN HOUSE LAST NIGHT. TO MY COUNT IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS WERE AT ABOUT 100 AND 23. AND THAT'S NOT INCLUDING OVER 300 STUDENTS WHO HAVE ALSO PARTICIPATED. THEY'VE BEEN PARTICIPATING ARE WEEK, AND, UM THANKS TO MR IKE.

WE'VE HAD SOME POSTINGS ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE SHOWING THE KIDS TAKING THE VOTES, AND THAT SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 12TH GRADE WERE PARTICIPATING. AND. SURVEY HAS NOW BEEN POSTED ONLINE. AND IS AVAILABLE TO ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS.

JUST A FEW HOURS AFTER IT WAS POSTED. WE STARTED GETTING EMAILS WITH VOTING SHEETS. SO THAT IS WORKING, AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE THAT. THE SURVEY IS NOW AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE AND THAT CAN BE ACCESSED. UH, AT THE SCHEDULE OF EVENTS TAB.

IF ANYONE CAN'T LOCATE IT. I WILL SAY THIS WE HAVE AN UPCOMING OPEN HOUSE ON THE 19TH, WHICH IS NEXT WEEK. AND WE MAY CONSIDER MOVING THAT FROM VILLAGE HALL TO EITHER HITCHCOCK SOR DOLLAR GENERAL. SCENE IS, THOUGH THEY DO GET A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC. I STILL NEED TO SPEAK WITH THE MANAGERS. ON THAT. BUT WE ALSO HAVE ANY EVENT COMING AT THE EVERGREEN FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH FROM 5 TO 7. PM AND POTENTIALLY ANOTHER EVENT AT THAT SAME

[01:45:02]

I WANT TO SAY THAT BETWEEN NOW AND THE FIRST WEEK OF MARCH. IF ANY OF THE. COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE INTERESTED IN HAVING AN ADDITIONAL EVENT POSTED ON OUR CALENDAR. THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY.

22ND IS GOOD FOR EVENINGS AS WELL AS THE WEEK OF MARCH, 7. BEYOND THAT, IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ANY POP UPS OUTSIDE OF HITCHCOCK'S OR DOLLAR, GENERAL. JUST LET ME KNOW AND WE'LL SPEAK TO ANYONE. THIS AUTHORIZED ON SITE TO ALLOW US TO BE THERE. WITH THAT I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL. NOT A MAN. HELP HIM AND DARLING OH, HE CAN GO. THAT'S FINE. COUNCILMAN STONE. YES I WAS GOING TO SAY SO. YOU HAVE 100.

HOW MUCH RETURN ALREADY? WE'VE HAD PEOPLE PHYSICALLY VOTE 123 AND OVER 300 STUDENTS. THE STUDENTS WERE MORE ACCESSIBLE BECAUSE IT WAS SENT TO THEIR SCHOOLS AS A POWER POINT, AND THE TEACHERS HELPED FACILITATE. QUICK EXERCISE FOR THEM. SO WOULD YOU CONSIDER THAT A GOOD RETURN? YES, WE HAVE. WE HAVE A POPULATION OF 7053 ESTIMATED. SO I THINK IF YOU GET ANYWHERE NEAR 5% UM YOU'RE DOING GOOD. THE LEVEL OF PARTICIPATION HASN'T BEEN WHAT WE THOUGHT AT CERTAIN LOCATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, INDIAN WOULD UM, TYPICALLY OLDER POPULATION, ARE YOU NO MORE EAGER TO PARTICIPATE. UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS THE COLDEST DAY OF THE YEAR THAT WE WERE THERE AND. IT. YOU KNOW WHO WANTS TO COME OUT IN THE COLD WEATHER, SO WE MAY CONSIDER ARE WE DOING? UM MAYBE A SHORTER, NOT A HALF DAY BUT A SHORTER EVENT THERE AND MAKE SURE MULTIPLE EMAILS ARE SENT. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. ANY QUESTIONS BY THE COUNCIL.

HELMSMAN DOLLY. YEAH, THANK YOU. I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO ENDURED THE COLD WEATHER WITH YOU ON THAT DAY. IT WAS VERY, VERY CHILLY. UM, BUT I THINK ON GUY, I THINK WE AND ON THAT DAY, ONE OF THE THINGS I DID SHARE WITH YOU IS THAT I WANTED TO HOST ONE SPECIFICALLY FOR MY OFFICE HERE AT THE VILLAGE HALL S SO THAT WE CAN GET MORE PARTICIPATION. AND THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS. THIS BUILDING IS GOING TO BE HERE FOR THE NEXT 50 TO 100 YEARS.

AND WE DEFINITELY NEED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE SOME TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS AREN'T. INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS. THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. I KNOW I BEAT A DEAD HORSE WHEN I SAY IT, BUT IT'S TRUE. WE HAVE TO BRING THE RESIDENTS ALONG WITH US DURING THIS PROCESS, AND SO, UM I HAVE NO IF NO OTHER COUNCIL MEMBER OBJECT TO THIS OR IF WE NEED TO TAKE A VOTE FOR I WOULD LIKE TO HOST AN EVENT HERE ON THE 23RD FROM 5 TO 7. UM. AND THIS WOULD GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE MORE PARTICIPANTS TO COME AND TO DO THE SURVEY. THE SECOND THING IS, MISS JEFFERSON IS WHAT IS THE DEADLINE WIN. SURVEYS WILL BE TOTALLY FINISHED AND THE REASON WHY EXCUSE ME. I ASKED. THAT IS THE SAME IS THAT BECAUSE OF COVE IT ESSENTIALLY WE'VE HAD A MONTH AND YOU KNOW WE'LL HAVE TWO MONTHS OF SURVEY TIME. BUT I THINK WE SHOULD IF, UH, IN MY OPINION, WE SHOULD EXTEND MAYBE ANOTHER MONTH OR TWO. AND I KNOW THAT MAY PUSH EVERYTHING BACK, BUT I THINK WE HAVE ONE SHOT TO GET THIS RIGHT. ON WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A MUCH TIME AS WE COULD. UM, POSSIBLY TAKE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE RESIDENTS DO HAVE THEIR VOICE HEARD BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT I HEAR. I HEAR THIS OFTEN WHEN WE DO THINGS HERE. I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AND SO AND SO I THINK THAT, UM UM AS WE ARE MOVING ALONG TOE, TO MAKE THIS CITY A BETTER A BETTER PLACE FOR ALL OF US TO

[01:50:06]

I'LL SAY FIRST ON THE TIMING. WE WERE PLANNING SIX WEEKS. I SEE NO PROBLEM WITH MOVING IT TO EIGHT OR 10 WEEKS. JUST KNOW THAT THE SCHEDULE THAT WE LOOKED AT LAST MONTH WHERE CONSTRUCTION WOULD THEN BE PUSHED OUT, OKAY. AND MR BANKEN, SO, YOU KNOW. THIS PROJECT IS I CALL IT A VILLAGE FUTURE PROJECT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PROJECTS YOU'RE GOING TO UNDERTAKE. AND I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THIS PROCESS AND MISS JEFF'S DOING A GOOD JOB DOING IT. BUT I ALSO THINK THAT YOU KNOW IF YOU GOT INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS OR ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC, A NONPROFIT THAT COULD HELP HER OR HELP US WITH THIS. WE WANT TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN INVOLVED IN. THE FUTURE OF THIS VILLAGE HALL. AND BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO DRIVE WHAT WE CALL PROGRAMMING OF THE BUILDING. AND SO AND THAT'S GOING TO DRIVE THE ACTUAL DOLLAR AMOUNT WHEN THE ARCHITECT GETS INVOLVED AND STARTS DETERMINING WHAT THE OPTIONS ARE FOR YOU WHAT WILL BE COMING BACK AND SHOWING YOU OPTIONS ON DIFFERENT THINGS.

THIS THIS IS A LONG PROCESS, BUT. YOU WANT TO GET ALL OF THIS OUT? YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER I'VE NEVER BUILT A VILLAGE HALL BEFORE. BUT I'VE DONE A NUMBER OF COMMUNITY CENTERS AND WHAT WE FIND OUT IS THE MORE OF THIS. WE DO, THE BETTER THE OUTCOME FOR THE BUILDING AND PEOPLE HAVE BUY INTO IT BECAUSE IT WILL DRIVE THE COST. WHAT THIS PROJECT WILL END UP BEING, SO WE WANT TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE WE CAN, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO PUT A DEADLINE. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION BECAUSE YOU KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T JUST CONTINUE TO GO ON. GO ON. GO ON. UM, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST MY OPINION, SO AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING ABOUT THE DEADLINE, BECAUSE, UH, INITIALLY I WANTED TO DO LIKE THREE OF THESE. SPREAD IT OUT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. AND SO THE DEADLINE WILL HELP. ME FIGURE OUT IF WITH 33 OR FOUR, WHATEVER YOU KNOW, WHATEVER NUMBER WOULD BE SUFFICIENT DURING THE TIME THAT WE HAVE BEEN ALLOTTED. IN THE OTHER. I DO SEE. UH COUNCIL MEMBER STONE? YES. COUNCILMAN YES. I AGREE WITH THE PUBLIC PARTICIPANT. HOWEVER I DON'T KNOW IF WE SHOULD KEEP ADDING MORE TIME. YOU KNOW, REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG WE DO THIS FOR YOU'RE GONNA ALWAYS HAVE PEOPLE SAY OH, I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT, OR I DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT IT THAT THAT'S NEVER GONNA STOP. AS FAR AS COUNSEL PARTICIPATING, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA, BUT I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD KEEP EXTENDING THE TIME. IT IS ON ME. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL BECAUSE I DO SEE WE HAVE TWO PUBLIC COMMENTS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW, I DON'T UM DO WE NEED TO VOTE LIKE, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO IN ORDER FOR ME TO SET UP AN EVENT IN THIS BUILDING? THAT'S MY QUESTION. WELL IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION TO COUNSEL IF IT'S FEBRUARY 22ND OR 23RD, IT'S DEAL WITHIN WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH ME. WE'LL BE DONE WITH OUR PART OF IT. IT SEEMS LIKE WE GOT OTHER STUFF WE'RE GONNA BE DOING TOO SO. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN GET A LIST OF ALL? THE NEW DATES CERTAINLY WILL EMAIL THEM TOMORROW AND THEN WE DO HAVE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS. MISS KAREN KING. MUTUAL MIGHT. AND EVERYBODY HERE WE HEAR WE WAIT.

YEAH ALRIGHT. PROTEST I APPRECIATE YOU ASKING FOR COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION. I HAVE ATTENDED ONE OF THE EVENTS TO VOTE ON THE AESTHETICS. MY MAIN CONCERN AS A RESIDENT IS BUDGET. I HAVE HEARD NO DISCUSSION ON THE BUDGET. WE CAN PICK ALL THE PRETTY BEAUTIFUL AESTHETIC THINGS. IF WE DON'T HAVE A BUDGET IN MIND, IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. I'M A

[01:55:05]

YEAH. MISS OVER KING. YOU MUTUAL MIGHT. YOU GUYS HEAR ME? YES, MA'AM. GOOD EVENING, GUYS.

MY ONLY CONCERN WAS I DID SEE A LOT OF, YOU KNOW NICE THINGS. NICE, PRETTY PICTURES. I'M A NUMBERS PERSON AS YOU KNOW, AND I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE YOU KNOW WHAT THINGS COSTS? WHAT JUST YOU KNOW UP. PRETTY THE SIDEWALK VERSUS WITH, YOU KNOW, DISCOVERING WHAT A COST VERSUS OTHER PICTURES. THAT WAS MY MAIN CONCERN THAT THERE WAS NO BUDGET OF. OF TOPIC AND WHAT WE WOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I DO SEE ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER, SPICE MAYOR CLARKE. WHY IS MY RECORD. YOU'RE ON YOU, MR JEFFERSON. YOU CAN. HELP US PUT NUMBERS TO A CROSS. I CAN ANSWER THAT COUNCIL MEMBER AND THESE ARE GOOD QUESTIONS YOU'RE GETTING FROM THE COMMUNITY. OKAY BUT THERE'S A PROCESS TO GET TO THE NUMBER. OKAY SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE WHAT WE CALL PLANING PLAYING EXOTIC PLANNING DESIGN. PROGRAMMING YOU KNOW, I MEAN PROGRAMMING DESIGN CONSTRUCTION, SO WE'RE IN THE PLANNING PHASE RIGHT NOW. AND SO WHAT WE COME UP WITH DETERMINES THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS ON FINANCIAL OPTIONS, SO WE'LL GET TO THAT RIGHT NOW. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO SEE YOU KNOW? DO YOU EVEN WANT A BUILDING? I MEAN, DO YOU EVEN DO YOU EVEN CARE TO HAVE A COMMUNITY CENTER THIES AIR KIND OF THINGS THAT YOU GET. YOU GOTTA GET THAT INPUT THAT AND PUT HIS CRITICAL BEFORE YOU CAN START SAYING IT'S GOING TO CAUSE THIS SO ONCE WE FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE WANT. IN A VILLAGE HALL. THEN THAT'S GONNA THAT'S GONNA DRIVE US INTO THE NEXT QUESTIONS, WHICH ARE ALL FINANCIAL, WHICH WILL BE COMING BACK HERE AND THE PUBLIC WILL BE ABLE TO CHIME IN AND SAY, WE DON'T NEED A SWIMMING POOL. WE WANT THIS AND YOU KNOW THAT'S JUST ME TALKING ABOUT SWIMMING POOL. OKAY OKAY. I DIDN'T MEAN THAT. ALL RIGHT? I KNOW. DON'T JUMP TO BE ON FACEBOOK TOMORROW. YOU KNOW? NO I'M JUST I'M NOT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE, AND I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING, IS, IS WE WILL WE WILL GET TO THOSE FINANCIAL ISSUES. AS SOON AS WE KIND OF KNOW FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WHAT THE PROGRAMMING OF THE BUILDING IS GOING TO BE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T KNOW THAT YET, AND WE NEED TO DO A LOT OF THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT COMMUNITY CENTERS. WE HAVE FOLKS TALKING ABOUT, UH UM UM, EATERIES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THERE'S A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW ON UNTIL WE GET ALL THAT. DOWN AND GETTING IDEA OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS. THEN WE'RE PRICE WILL DRIVE ALL OF THIS. WE WILL HAVE TO COME BACK WITH SEVERAL FINANCIAL OPTIONS ON THE GOOD, BAD AND UGLY AND WHAT WE CAN AFFORD AND ALL THAT. BUT WE'RE AT THE, UM VERY EARLY STAGES. OF ALL OF THIS. WE'RE NOT EVEN AT THE FINANCING LEVEL YET, SO THAT'S DOWN THE ROAD HERE. NO. THAT ADVICE. MAYOR CLARKE. AND JUST TO ADD ONTO, UM VILLAGE MANAGER. I ACTUALLY AM CURRENTLY I EXPERIENCED THAT PROBABLY LAST YEAR. UM WHERE I WORK OUT. WE HAD TO DO A BRAIN STORMING OFF WHAT WE WANTED AND SO LIKE. WE WE CREATED A

[02:00:01]

UM BECAUSE I CAN WANT, UH YOU KNOW? I COULD NOT WANT ANY LANDSCAPING, JUST LIKE GRASS AND SHRUBS BECAUSE THE MAINTENANCE ON SOMEONE MIGHT WANT PALM TREES AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE SOMEONE AT ONCE COMMUNITY CENTER AND SOMEONE SAYS YOU NEED STAGE OR DIFFERENT IDEAS POP UP. SO HAVING ALL THOSE IDEAS COME IN AT ONCE, AND THEN AFTER THAT, THAT'S WHEN YOU START, YOU KNOW, BUDGETING. THEY YOU START LOOKING AT THE FINANCIALS BECAUSE THIS IS ACTUALLY MY SECOND, UM THING THAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE FIRST STAGE IS LIKE THE PRE STORM THE BRAIN OF EVERYTHING YOU WANT, LIKE YOUR WANT, LIKE AND THEN AFTER THAT YOU GO AND START BUDGETING FOR ALL THAT, SO IT'S ALL A PROCESS, SO THAT JUST IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY IS JUST A PRELIMINARY THAT WE NEED TO DO BEFORE YOU KNOW WE FOR ABOUT THIS, AND WE'LL ADD AT THE LAST MINUTE AND THEN YOU KNOW THAT DRIVES UP THE COST, AND WE DON'T WANT THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW THE PRICE AT THE END, AND WE'RE NOT ADDING THINGS AT THE VERY END.

BECAUSE WE FORGOT THAT WE WANT. WE WANTED OUTDOOR STAGE OR WE WANT PAPERS OR WE WANT LIKE, SO WE WANT EVERY IT'S NOT SETTING DONE THAT WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA DO. IT'S JUST AN IDEA OF WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO SEE. AND THEN WE'LL GO. WORD OF FINANCIAL BECAUSE THAT THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO DRIVE. IT WILL DRIVE THAT IT WILL DRIVE THE IT WILL DRIVE THE DEPTH.

EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. RIGHT NOW. NO, WE'VE WE'VE. WE WERE FLOATING NUMBERS ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE CONTACTED IN THAT TYPE OF THING. AND I THINK COPAN NINETEEN'S REALLY CONTRIBUTING TO, YOU KNOW THE PARTICIPATION LEVELS OF PEOPLE AND SO AND I KNOW THAT WE UTILIZE KIDS, UH, YOU KNOW, BUT LET ME JUST LET YOU KNOW THIS. THAT IS A VERY COMMON PLANNING.

CONCEPT WHERE WE GO AND ASK KIDS. WHAT THEY'D LIKE TO SEE. AND IF YOU RECALL THE VILLAGE SEAL YOU GUYS HAD A CONTEST EITHER WAR FEELING THE METRO ANYTOWN MIDDLE SCHOOL. AND IT'S ALMOST IDENTICAL TO SOME STUFF I SAW WHEN I CAME ON BOARD AND I DID NOT KNOW THAT CHILDREN WERE INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN OF THE SHIELD, AND SO RIGHT NOW, IF WE EXCLUDE THE KIDS, OF COURSE WE'RE NOT AT 5. BUT. I HOPE WE WILL BE WAY ABOVE 5% I HOPE THAT WE GET YOU KNOW UPWARDS OF 10% BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE PROBABLY HAVE ABOUT 13,000. RESIDENTS AND 10% OF THAT IS ABOUT 700. SO WE'VE WE'VE YOU KNOW WHERE IT 5% THAT'S WHAT THE KIDS BUT I DO AGREE THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO GET. ADULTS IN THE ROOM AS WELL. AND GET THAT NUMBER UP. BUT THE KIDS ARE JUST ONE LEG OF THAT STOOL IN MY PANTS, SO THANK YOU. DO I HAVE? YOU HAVE EMOTION. NO I MEAN, WE WERE JUST TRYING TO UPDATE THE COUNCIL AGAIN. FEEDBACK THIS IS GOOD STUFF HERE BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING WHAT WE NEED TO HEAR. WE'RE GONNA ADD IN, I GUESS.

EVERY BAPTIST CHURCH WHO HAD THE VICE MAYOR, TALK TO ME ABOUT THAT, AND WE CAN PUT COUNCILMAN DOWLING'S EVEN HERE AND KEEP MOVING. DO YOU SEE SOMEONE ELSE'S HAND BEFORE WE MOVE ON IS THAT FOR THIS? ITEM. YES, HE ALWAYS SPOKE, OKAY? MISS LYND, IVORY. LINDA EVERY WHEN I WAS LISTENING TO ONE OF THE ONE OF THE PEOPLE THERE SOME SCREEN AND THEY WAS TALKING ABOUT THE CHILDREN, BUT THE CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE. AND IF THEY HAVE IDEA THAT WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE, I DON'T SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH GET THE CHILDREN INVOLVED. YOU KNOW, GET THE OPINION, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I LISTENED TO MY I LISTEN TO MY CHILDREN. I DON'T AGREE WITH THEM ALL THE TIME. BUT I LISTEN TO HIM, YOU KNOW, SO THE CHILDREN IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY ARE FREE FUTURE. SO WHAT I GOTTA SAY. THANK YOU. DISCUSSION ITEMS MR

Water and Waste Water Update - Planning, Design, and Construction Loan Update by Daniel Magro

[02:05:08]

OKAY? DID YOU SEE THAT? YES, WE CAN THANK YOU BECAUSE. YES. OKAY. YES. RIGHT, WELL, GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU AGAIN. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE COUNCIL ON THE STATUS OF ALL THE FUNDING ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM. ASKEW AS YOU KNOW. LAST YEAR, THE CITY VILLAGE PURCHASED THE UTILITY AND APPLIED FOR A 18.5 MILLION IN FUNDING ASSISTANCE FROM THE DEEP SRF OFF WHICH, BECAUSE 6.4 MILLION ROUGHLY WERE GRANT AND TOOK 11 MILLION. A 30 YEAR LOW INTEREST LOAN. SO SINCE WE LAST SPOKE, YOU KNOW THIS, UH REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST WAS SUBMITTED TO THE D P THE P FULLY REFUNDED THE VILLAGE FOR THAT AMOUNT. MILLION $585,000. AND THEN UM, ESSENTIALLY, THAT LOAN APPLICATION IS NOW CONSIDERED CLOSED. THEY'RE NOT WILL REMAIN FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS. THAT $2.1 MILLION LOAN, BUT ESSENTIALLY BUY CLOTHES FROM THAT LOAN, AND I'M FULLY REIMBURSING THE VILLAGE OR FOR THE ONLY APPLIED UM, THAT IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED AND YOU'RE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR A SECOND APPLICATION. THAT'S SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR. THE IMPROVEMENT. FOR THE WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS. THE OVERALL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST ALSO RIGHT NOW IS 9.4 MILLION, AND THAT INCLUDES ALL THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL AS THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS. THAT NUMBER ALSO INCLUDES THE ENGINEERING DESIGN PERMITTING ANDRE MUCH ALL THE WAY THROUGH THROUGH CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION OFF ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS WITH THIS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED WITH THE WATER SYSTEM. FIND THAT PROJECT. WE SUBMITTED THE FACILITIES PLAN TO DO THE S A WRAP IN DECEMBER, WHICH WAS ACCEPTED AND THEN AND SUBSEQUENTLY WE SUBMITTED THE FIRST REQUEST FOR INCLUSION, WHICH IS START APPLYING FOR SOME OF THOSE YOU KNOW, $9.4 MILLION THAT WERE APPROVED THEIR FIRST REQUEST FOR INCLUSIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF 1,000,147 AND IT'S VERY DESIGN ALONE. THAT IS I ALONE WILL BE USED TO PEOPLE. THE DESIGN ENGINEERING OFF THE WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS. THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE FOR THOSE TYPES OFF LOANS. A SKOURAS GRANT IS CONCERNED IS 50% SO WE'RE HOPING TO MAXIMIZE THAT AND OBTAINED 50% GRAB AND THEN THE REST WILL BE A. AND YOU'RE 10 YEARS OLD. AS FOR THE QUESTION PORTION WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE S A REF IN TALLAHASSEE ON FEBRUARY 24TH. THAT'S WHEN WE'LL FIND OUT HOW MUCH IS ALLOCATED TO WORK IS NEVER LATER ON, ONCE OLDER DESIGN ACTIVITIES ARE COMPLETE. ARE WE CAN SUBMIT OUR SUBSEQUENT REQUEST FOR INCLUSION PAY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION. COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT. AND THE U. S. D A RULE DEVELOPMENT IS ALSO YOU KNOW, I KNOW THEIR FUNDING AGENCY THAT WE CAN WE CAN CONSIDER US CORRESPONDING. THE CONSTRUCTION COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT. WELL, WELL, LOOK AT THAT LATER ON AS THE PROJECT ADVANCES. IN ADDITION TO THIS APPLICATION.

WE'VE SUBMITTED A SECOND REQUEST FOR INCLUSION THAT WILL HELP PAY FOR THE WATER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN. HIS MASTER PLAN IS GOING TO BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT YOU'RE SEEING ON THE SCREEN. BUT WE DID APPLY FOR $186,000. UM I DON'T USE IT ALL, BUT THAT'S HIM. UNCLE REQUESTED FOR THAT EFFORT. IT WOULD BE, HOWEVER, A 100% ALONE. THIS CASE, THE REASON FOR THAT IS YOUR ONLY ALLOWED ONE ALONE WITH PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS. REGRET AT A TIME AND SO BECAUSE WE APPLIED FOR THE WATER IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, THEN THIS ONE WOULD HAVE TO BE ALONE. SO THAT'S WHY THAT'S A REASON FOR THAT. AGAIN YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT. THIS IS JUST WORKING FOR BLACK FOR. REGARDING THE WASTE WATER SYSTEM. THE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE WASTEWATER PLANT AND THE COLLECTION SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY ESTIMATED AT A $5 MILLION

[02:10:04]

ALSO CONSIDERING THE USDA AS A LIKELY FUNDING AGENCY. AS FAR AS THE NEXT STEPS. WELL, FEBRUARY 24TH IS A VERY IMPORTANT DATE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN WE'LL FIND OUT HOW MUCH THE VILLAGE WILL RECEIVE IN FUNDING FROM THE ESCORT FOR THESE EFFORTS AGAIN, WE HAVE THE THREE PROSPERING COLLUSIONS. WATER SYSTEM DESIGNED. WATER MASTER PLAN AND THE WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN. THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN IS ON FEBRUARY 25TH SO HOPEFULLY THAT THEY COULD GIVE YOU A PLEASANT UPDATE WITH GOOD NEWS ON THE FUNDING. IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN YOU CAN PROCEED WITH CONTRACTING WITH YOUR ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS TO WORK ON THOSE PROJECTS. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN WORKING WITH YOUR CONSULTANTS TO DEVELOP SCOPES AND FEES OR FOR THESE EFFORTS, SO I BELIEVE PRETTY SOON YOU'LL SEE THEIR PROPOSALS TO DO THIS WORK ESSENTIALLY. ONE PROPOSAL FOR THE WATER TO IMPLANT DESIGN, ANOTHER ONE FOR THE WATER MASTER PLAN. THEY'RE GOING FOR THE WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN AND THEN 1/4 1 FOR THE WASTEWATER PLANT EVALUATIONS. AGAIN ALL THOSE CONTINGENTS RECEIVING THE FUNDING WE'RE EXPECTING AND CONTINGENT ON OLDER APPROVALS. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT. I'M NOT SHOW. I'M SURE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, SO ME GLAD TO ANSWER THEM. ANY QUESTIONS BY THE COUNCIL. VILLAGE MANAGER BROWN. YET MR MAY GROW, I THOUGHT THE WASTE WATER IMPROVEMENTS WOULD WOULD BE MORE THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS MORE THAN $5 MILLION TO SOMETHING CHANGE AND SOME OF THE PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES OR SOMETHING, OR ON THE WASTE WATER SIDE. UM. NO, NO, NOT REALLY. YOU KNOW, WITH THE WATERSIDE BECAUSE IT'S A BIGGER PRIORITY AT THIS MOMENT WITH DEDICATED MORE TIME TO IT, AND SO WE HAVE BETTER ESTIMATES WITH THE WASTEWATER SIDE. WE HAVE LESS INFORMATION, SO WE TOOK GUESSES AS TO WHAT THE PROJECT MAKE LOOK LIKE THAT NUMBER'S ACTUALLY GOT ME HIGHER THAN WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT LATE LAST YEAR. I'M NOT MUCH, BUT SOME AGAIN. IT ONLY CHANGE AFTER THE PRELIMINARY ABOMINATION. CERTAIN DESIGN IS COMPLETED. WE'LL BE ABLE TO PINPOINT WHAT THE ACTUAL CULTURAL THINK SO AFTER THE EVALUATION OF THE WASTE WATER SIDE. WE WILL KNOW MORE. ABOUT IT, SO CORRECT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND MR MAN GIRL MADE THE STAFF PLEASE PUT THE SLIDE UP. I JUST WANT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND IF I FELT LIKE. SO MUCH NUMBERS IN THAT PRESENTATION. UM, BUT HOW MUCH ARE WE GETTING FORGIVE YOU. FOR THE WATER OF THE WASTE WATER FOR BOTH. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO BE FORGIVEN AND HOW MUCH IS THE TOTAL? OKAY SO FOR THE WATER SYSTEM. THE PROJECT AND $9.4 MILLION PROJECT AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW. HAS SEVERAL COMPONENTS. THIS COMPONENT HERE WHICH IS 1.147 MILLION. WE CAN'T SEE IT THAT. WAY CAN'T SEE THE SLIDE. SHOW YOU SCREAMING. DANIEL WE CAN'T SEE THE SCREEN THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT. OKAY. SORRY. HMM. DON'T SEE IT NOW? YEP. YES. OUT OF THE $9.4 MILLION THAT DYING LONG COMPONENT OF THAT WHICH IS 1.1 MILLION. THAT WOULD BE 50% PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS. ASSUMING IT'S AWARDED. THIS IS ALL IT.

[02:15:08]

NO CONSTRUCTION COSTS, AND ONCE WE'RE ABLE TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF HOW MUCH OF THAT PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS YES, ARREST WILL WILL AWARD THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE A BETTER PERCENTAGE TO SHARE WITH THE COUNCIL. DANIEL WAS THAT CAPPED YOU BROKE UP? 2.5 UM, THE. SO FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PART, THE VILLAGES ELIGIBLE FOR 66% PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS. HOWEVER THERE IS A $2.5 MILLION CAP. SO ONCE ONCE WE HAVE A CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE THAT IS MORE YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE REALISTIC. THEN WE'LL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT PERCENTAGE OF PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS WILL END UP BEING. AND THEN ANOTHER QUESTION. SO YOU KNOW? PEOPLE MIGHT BE ASKING THEMSELVES RIGHT NOW, UM WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE FROM? VILLAGE OWNING IT ON IF A PRIVATE ENTITY WOULD HAVE, UM, BOUGHT IT, WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR THESE LOANS AND LOAN FORGIVENESS AND.

NO PRIVATE PRIVATE ENTITIES HAVE NOT ANSWERABLE FOR THESE FUNDING FROM THIS ONE FUNDING AGENTS. OKAY? THANK YOU. ANY OTHER FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR MS MEANT, GO TO WASTE. WAR. SIR.

THAT'S JUST THE WATER. DANIEL CAN YOU JUST TALK REALLY QUICK ABOUT WHERE YOU GO? I WAS WORRIED. YEAH, ON THE WASTE WATER SIDE, UM, THE INITIAL PLANNING ALONE WILL BE AGAIN THAT A 50% PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS. THE FORTHCOMING DESIGN LONG WOULD ALSO BE 50% PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS, ASSUMING AGAIN IT'S AWARD. OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF WOMEN, ALBEIT THE PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS WILL BE MORE THAN THAT FROM A MISTAKEN IT MIGHT BE IN THE 80% RANGE. BUT YOU ARE ELIGIBLE. WAR WITHOUT ANY CAT. THAT'S ALL WITH YES, A REF WITH THE USDA IS TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT PROGRAM. WHEN WE GET TO THE POINT WHEN WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT'S GOING TO BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE VILLAGE OF FOREST TO APPLY FOR THE S A REP FOR THE USDA OR A COMBINATION OF THEM. WE'LL NEED TO CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE GET THERE.

SO CURRENTLY YOU STILL HAVE YOU'RE STILL SEEING ABOUT APPLYING FEDERALLY TO THE USDA.

AND THE SRF IS STATE STATE OF FLORIDA. YEAH, USDA IS AN OPTION WAY APPLIED FOR BOTH PROGRAMS WHEN WE WERE PURCHASING THE UTILITY FOR VARIOUS REASONS, THE ANSARA AS THE ONE THAT WORKED OUT FOR THE VILLAGE. BUT WE HAVE A PENDING APPLICATION WITH THE USDA AND WE COULD GO BACK AND REMOVE THE ACQUISITION PERFORMING OF IT. JUST THE PRICES. YOU SHOULD GET IT ON. YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT STILL VIABLE. I DON'T KNOW. IF YOU WILL GET NO BETTER OR WORSE THAT FAR IS GRANTED. SPENCER AND COMPARED TO THE S A REP. THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN. SOMETHING THAT WILL DEFINITELY CONSIDER. AND ANOTHER QUESTION. SORRY FOR ALL THESE QUESTIONS. BUT FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE GET IT FROM THE S R OF IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY WHATEVER WE DON'T GET FORGIVEN. WE CAN GET IT FROM THE USDA. IT'S VERY TRICKY. UM, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO COMBINE FOR GROUND BEFORE BUT YOU HAVE TO SEPARATE THE PROJECT TO SEVERAL FACES OR INTO SEPARATE. COMPONENT IN YOUR WILL, AND THEN ONE AGENCY WILL FIND A CERTAIN IMPORTANCE OF THE OTHER AGENCY. ANOTHER COMPONENT. UM YOU LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH FOR THE USDA GRANT COMES PAPER BELOW PORTION OF THE OF THE TESSERACT IS THAT'S DIFFICULT TO ACCOMPLISH. UH PARTLY BECAUSE THE USDA WILL ONLY GET BRAND IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD A PROJECT WITHOUT

[02:20:06]

WE HAVE THIS REQUEST FOR INCLUSION PENDING WHICH IS FOR THE DESIGN AND THAT HAS TO GRANT COMPONENT BUT BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE THIS APPLICATION FOR GRANT YOU'RE NOT ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR ANY MORE GRAND FROM THE S A RAFT UNTIL YOU TO CLOSE YOUR PREVIOUS APPLICATION. SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE. TO OBLIGATIONS THAT ONCE ACTUALLY HELPED PICK INTO AS MUCH WHEN YOU WANTED TO HAVE A BRAND. OKAY GET THE BIGGEST ONE, OF COURSE. THANK YOU ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL BEFORE YOUR PLACE? MAYOR CLARKE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO CLARK. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS WAS ALL NEW MONEY. BESIDES THE PURCHASE THAT WE DID LAST SEPTEMBER CORRECT. CORRECT. IS THAT YOUR ONLY QUESTION? MY SPIRIT MARK.

YES, OKAY. ANY OTHER BECAUSE. WE NEED TO GO TO HER NEXT, MR VILLAGE. THANK YOU, DANIEL. I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU FOR THE HARD WORK. UM WE NEED BETTER QUALITY WATER. SO I HOPE YOU KNOW WE HAVE GREAT NEWS. THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. SURE MY PLEASURE, MR REALLY, MR.

[11.  

Code Compliance staff would like to update the Village Council of non-compliant cases that have escalated to foreclosure proceedings, as per the Order of Fine Certification and Authorization to Foreclose Lien issued by the Special Magistrate. 

[02:25:04]

UM, IN THE MAKING. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENED FEW WEEKS OR EVEN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I THINK THAT IT HAS, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS SUMMARY YOU SEE A. FOCUSED AND CONCERTED EFFORT BY THE VILLAGE TO WORK WITH IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS. SO, UM. DON'T IT WASN'T ANYTHING DONE IN HASTE? LIKE I SAID, IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF SO PLEASE. WORK WITH THE VILLAGE. IT'S NOT AN ACTION. I THINK THAT HAS TAKEN LIGHTLY OR OR WANTED TO BE TAKEN, BUT IT'S INEVITABLE IF THERE'S NOT ANY COOPERATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS AND TO ADD ON TO MY COLLEAGUES. I YOU KNOW, UM, I RECEIVED A COUPLE PHONE CALLS AND YOU KNOW, THE FIRST ONE WAS. MY DAD HAS TO WORK UNTIL 8 P.M. AND HE CAN, AND THAT WAS EXCUSE. AND I TELL PEOPLE LOOK, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S LIKE GOING TO THE COURT. YOU WILL NOT MISS GOING TO THE COURT BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THE JUDGE IS GONNA.

MAKE A DECISION WITHOUT YOU IF YOU DON'T GO, SO IF YOU WANT TO PLEAD HER CASE, YOU HAVE ISSUES THAT THE VILLAGE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, NOT HINDER YOU FROM YOU KNOW, TAKING AWAY YOUR PROPERTY, BUT YOU KNOW, STAFF HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE AVAILABLE TO TALK TO RESIDENTS.

I ALWAYS FORWARD EVERYONE TO ROBERT PRESS BECAUSE WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT COUNCIL MEMBERS CANNOT. TALKED TO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WE WEAKEN INFORM OURSELVES ABOUT THE ISSUE ABOUT THE CASE ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING AND TELL THEM HEY, YOU SHOULD DO THIS. YOU SHOULD GO TO THE 02. ARE CODE COMPLIANCE. SEE WHAT SUGGESTIONS HE GIVES YOU SEE IF HE CAN GIVE YOU AH, LEEWAY IF YOU DON'T HAVE CASH OR SOMETHING, IF IT'S SOMETHING FINANCIAL OR SOMEONE SICK AND YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE TIME TO COMPLY, YOU KNOW? A CODE ENFORCEMENT WILL WORK WITH YOU. BUT THEN FROM US TRYING TO GET INTO THE MIDDLE OF IT. WE CAN'T.

UM THE SPECIAL MAGGOTS TODAY IF YOU SEE. IN THE BYLAWS OR IN THE SPECIAL MAGAZINES RATE. NO COUNCIL MEMBER CAN REACH OUT. TO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE TO TALK ABOUT A CASE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE IS LIKE. A SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IS JUDGE. THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TIMES, THE STATE AND YOU'RE HE DEFENDED. AND SO YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR CASE IN FRONT OF THAT COURT. UM SO YOU DO NEED TO APPEAR, SO I TELL A LOT OF PEOPLE. PLEASE DON'T JUST REGARD ANY CODE COMPLIANCE BECAUSE IT'S THEY CAN TAKE YOUR PROPERTY AWAY AND I'VE HAD. IT DOESN'T THIS DOESN'T PROHIBIT US FROM EVEN GETTING IT. TRUST ME. I'VE HAD FAMILY MEMBERS WHERE I'M CALLING THEM AND TELLING THEM HEY, DON'T DISREGARD THIS AND THEY'VE COME UP WITH THIS EXCUSE AND I'M LIKE. YOU GUYS. I'M NOT JOKING. LIKE I READ THE THINGS LIKE YOU NEED TO REALLY TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY, AND I THINK THE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT. WE'RE NOT USED TO IT. I UNDERSTAND, BUT. IT'S SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMUNION NEEDED AND WE ARE SLOWLY GETTING INTO IT. SO PLEASE DON'T JUST REGARD ANY OF THESE NOTICES BECAUSE THESE NOTICES ARE REAL. AND. YOU CAN GET YOUR PROPERTY TAKEN AWAY. SO JUST TO TALK ABOUT THAT I PLEASE. MAYOR I GOT SOMETHING I WANT TO SAY THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE THE LEGAL STUFF. THE CODE ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A VERY LONG TIME IN FLORIDA AND. AND UM, IN MARTIN COUNTY, MARTIN COUNTY PROVIDED CODE ENFORCEMENT SOURCES FOR THE VILLAGE. AND SO WHAT? WE'RE WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING NOW IS, UH, YOU KNOW WE'RE HERE EVERY DAY.

NOT WANT EVERY MONTH OR ONCE EVERY SIX MONTHS. ONCE EVERY 12 MONTHS WE HIRED A FULL TIME

[02:30:05]

INSPECTORS OR OFFICERS. YOU GET MORE ACTIVITY AND YADA YADA YADA. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THESE GENTLEMEN DO? THEY PROVIDE A VERY UNIQUE SERVICE, AND THE SERVICE IS SO UNIQUE THAT IT COULD BE CONTROVERSIAL. AND SO, UM, I WANTED TO MAKE TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT, BECAUSE, UM, THIS IS THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE GOING AND I THINK YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE GONNA RUN A MUNICIPALITY, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE STANDARDS. YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH, AND WE'RE IN NO WAY TRYING TO BE PUNITIVE. I MEAN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE CASE SUMMARY THAT THE COUNCIL MEMBER JUST, UM, UM JUST EXPLAINED. YOU'LL SEE. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF EXTENSIONS. A LOT OF, UH, CONTINUANCES AND INJURIES WHILE I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS. I USED TO BE A CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. AND I HAVE BEEN BATTERED BEFORE AND BEEN IN A LOT OF ALTERCATIONS BEFORE BECAUSE THESE THINGS AND. AND THIS IS ONE OF THINGS THAT I LIKE. AND I THINK YOU NEED THIS IN A COMMUNITY LIKE ANY TAIL. SO, UH, JUST KNOW THAT YOU KNOW WHEN WE GO OUT THESE SITES AND WE MAKE THESE INSPECTIONS AND WAY MAKE CONTACT WITH RESIDENTS. YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, A VERY. GOOD EXCHANGE. YOU KNOW YOUR PROBLEM. YOU'LL PROBABLY HEAR SOMETHING THAT WAS SAID OUT THERE. THAT MAY NOT BE IN TRUE YOU MIGHT SEE YOU MIGHT HEAR PEOPLE THAT ARE CALLING. YOU ARE TALKING TO YOU, AND THEY'RE SAYING WHATEVER THEY GOT TO SAY.

BECAUSE THEY WANT TO TRY TO, BUT I JUST WANNA LET THE COUNCIL KNOW THAT THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT WERE HIRING AT THE VILLAGE THEY'RE PROFESSIONAL. A UM, THEY BELIEVE IN HELPING PEOPLE NOT HURTING PEOPLE. WE BELIEVE IN VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE, AND NOT JUST WELL, COMPLIANCE.

IT ALL MEANS NECESSARY. WE WANNA WORK WITH PEOPLE. AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO. AND I HOPE THAT THE COUNCIL CAN, UM AND, UM. UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING AT OUR LEVEL. I KNOW THAT YOU GOT YOUR RESIDENCE THAT YOU DEFINITELY GOT TO LISTEN TO YOU AND I JUST GOT I JUST I THINK I MISSPOKE. I HEARD COUNCILMAN DOWLING EARLIER. I THINK I TOLD HIM THAT OR TOLD THE COUNCIL THAT WE IT WOULD COME BACK TO YOU AT A CERTAIN TIME. BUT THAT'S THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

YEAH, LET ME JUMP IN ON THAT. AND I WANT TO GIVE YOU JUST A LITTLE MORE INSIGHT NOT TO DRAW THIS OUT. BUT ON THAT, IN PARTICULAR UNDER THE CODE ENFORCEMENT STATUTE, THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OR THE PERSON SITTING AS A MAGISTRATE INSTEAD OF CODE ENFORCEMENT POURED IN THIS INSTANCE YEP, SORRY IN THIS TENSE SINCE PAUL NICOLETTI. MAKES THE DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO AUTHORIZE THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ATTORNEY MAY TO FILE OF FORECLOSURE ACTION WITH REGARD TO CODE ENFORCEMENT LEANS THAT ARISE IN THIS INSTANCE HERE, SO THESE MATTERS WOULD NOT BE COMING BACK BEFORE YOU. THIS. THIS AGENDA ITEM AROSE OUT OF DISCUSSIONS AMONG STAFF AND THE THOUGHT THAT WE THOUGHT BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME THE VILLAGE IS DOING THIS THAT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT YOU ALL BE IN THE LOOP ABOUT IT AND KNOW THAT IT'S COMING BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT IT. OUT OF THE COMMUNITY, AND WE WANTED EVERYBODY TO KNOW ABOUT IT AND HAVE STAFFS LAID OUT. YOU KNOW, THE. THE LONG DRAWN OUT PROCESS THAT THEY'VE GONE THROUGH WITH THESE PARTICULAR FOLKS. I JUST WANNA LET YOU ALL KNOW KIND OF THE NEXT STEPS IF MR NICOLETTI AUTHORIZES THAT WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IN MY OFFICE AND JUST SAY YOU ALL KNOW MY FIRM'S BEEN THE LAW FIRM THAT'S DONE ALL OF THE CODE ENFORCEMENT FORECLOSURES. ORANGE COUNTY SINCE 1991 SO WE'VE DONE A LOT OF THESE. I WAS DOING THESE AS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT SITTING THEN MY MOM'S OFFICE BEING PARALEGAL DOING THAT STUFF THEN, BUT, UM, SO WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH IT. UH AH, LONG TIME AND I CAN TELL YOU AND YOU'VE HEARD THIS BEFORE FROM FOLKS WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF CODE ENFORCEMENT GENERALLY IS COMPLIANCE. OKAY? NOT TAKING PEOPLE'S PROPERTY. GOAL THE BILL HERE GENERALLY UNLESS I GET OTHER DIRECTION, AND THAT HAPPENS IN ONCE IN A BLUE MOON SITUATIONS, THE GOAL HERE IS TO NOT TAKE THESE PEOPLE'S PROPERTY. IT'S TOO UNFORTUNATELY. MAKE PEOPLE REALIZE THIS IS REAL ENOUGH THAT THEY'VE GOT TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE. WHAT INEVITABLY COMES WITH THAT WE GET TO THE STAGE WHERE WE ACTUALLY FILE SUIT. UNFORTUNATELY A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE MADE THE FILING FEES FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT. FORECLOSURE ACTIONS VERY HIGH. AT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INSTEAD OF A REGULAR $400. FINALLY, FAITH AND THE

[02:35:05]

BUT THERE WILL BE THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BEAM OR AT THE. ORDER OF FORECLOSURE HEARING BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE IF THEY BROUGHT IT INTO COMPLIANCE PRIOR TO THAT. WE WOULD NOT PROCEED SO. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU ALL. SO WE'RE NONE OF THIS WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE COUNCIL AGAIN. BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A COUNCIL INSTRUMENTS, A CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUE. YEAH. YES, THAT'S A ONE TIME. NAME. BUT JUST TO ASK YOU WAIT. YOU SAID YOU DO THIS. HOW FREQUENTLY DO YOU DO THIS FOR LIKE YOUR CITIES BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WE GOT ALSO EDUCATE OUR CONSTITUENTS BECAUSE THEY MIGHT THINK THAT THIS IS THE ONLY VILLAGE OF INDIAN SOMETHING AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN IT EVERYWHERE ELSE. YES, SO IT UM IT VARIES SUBSTANTIALLY. SO IN ORANGE COUNTY, VERY LARGE COUNTY. OBVIOUSLY WE DO A NUMBER OF THEM. UM 11 THING I WILL. DON'T ENCOURAGE THIS TOO MUCH, UM. THERE. THERE SOME CONSIDERATIONS THAT GO INTO WHETHER TO FILE FORECLOSURE ACTIONS THERE SOME LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEABILITY. IN CERTAIN INSTANCES. I DON'T REALLY WANT TO GET IN THE PARTICULARS OF IT, BUT UM THEY'RE SOMETIMES THAT FORECLOSURE IS NOT THE MOST EFFECTIVE TOOL. OKAY, UM, BUT OFTEN TIMES IT, IT CAN BE, AND IT'S A IT'S A TOOL OF LAST RESORT. OKAY, WHEN YOU HAVE NO.

PUT IT OUT THERE. IT'S NOT VERY MUCH A SECRET. THERE'S A RESTRICTION IN THE FLORIDA STATUTES THAT WHEN A PROPERTY IS HOMESTEADED THAT YOU CANNOT FORECLOSE A CODE ENFORCEMENT LEAN AGAINST, OKAY? I DON'T WANT TO ENCOURAGE THE THOUGHT THAT FOLKS DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW THE CODE BECAUSE THAT IS NOT THE CASE AT ALL. THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF DEALING WITH IT. BUT THE CODE ENFORCEMENT. FORECLOSURE LEAN FORECLOSURE AS A TOOL PRIMARILY WORKS WITH PROPERTIES THAT ARE NOT HOMESTEADED. AND UM, IN THOSE INSTANCES, IT IS VERY IT'S A VERY COMMON ENFORCEMENT TECHNIQUE OF LAST RESORT WITH CITIES AND COUNTIES. USUALLY, HOWEVER, FOLKS GET THE MESSAGE WHEN THEY KNOW THAT IS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL. THEY DON'T LET IT GET THIS MORE. THANK YOU. MR VILLAGE MANAGER. ITEM NUMBER 12. YES ITEM NUMBER 12 IS A
