[PUBLIC COMMENT]

[00:10:03]

THIS NEXT ONE. IS FROM JAMES SLATER. HOMOLKA STATES RESIDENT. GOOD AFTERNOON. I HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THE CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN OUR COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND YOURS AND JUST RECENTLY AN EMAIL. CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE DEVELOPER FOR THE PROJECT. I'M APPALLED TO REALIZE THAT THE VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS STATE THAT NOTHING HAS TRANSPIRED YET, HOWEVER, THE CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE DEVELOPER IMPLIES OTHERWISE. I'M ALSO APPALLED THAT OUR COMMUNITY OF PALM OAKS OF STATES AND FERNWOOD FORCED HAVE HAD NO INPUT OR REPRESENTATION OF OUR CONCERNS REGARDING OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. HOW DARE YOU STATE THAT YOU REPRESENT US AND DON'T BOTHER TO REACH OUT TO US AS A COMMUNITY TO DISCUSS WHAT POSSIBILITIES ARE TO BECOME OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. SO WHY WAS SAID PROPERTY REZONED FOR RENTAL PROPERTIES? IF YOU HAD NO INTENT TO BRING IN THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT? YOUR EMAILS, THE INDIFFERENCE WHETHER YOU STATE OTHERWISE IS THAT YOU HAD ALREADY MADE UP YOUR MINDS. EMAIL TO LEANNA SLATER FROM JANET HERNANDEZ. YOU STATE THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO FORMAL APPLICATION FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT AT THE REAL ESTATE MARKET PUTS OUT AN INFORMATION BULLETIN REGARDING THIS COMMUNITY. IN ORDER FOR THIS COMMUNITY TO ABSORB SUCH A LARGE SCALE NEIGHBORHOOD. WHERE IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF SEWERS SERVICE AS EVERYONE OUT HERE IS ON SUBJECT. WHERE IS THE EXPANSION ON ROADS FOR ACCESS? REGRESS SHE'S SUCH A LARGE COMMUNITY AS OUR CURRENT STREAK CANNOT HANDLE THAT MUCH TRAFFIC. WHERE'S THE ACCESS OF SIDEWALKS TO MAINTAIN SAFETY ALONG FERNWOOD FOREST? SHALL I GO ON? YOU HAVE NOT DISCUSSED ANY OF THIS WITH OUR COMMUNITY.

PROPERTY THAT WILL BE DESTROYED TO PUT IN THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS A MESIC TEMPERATE HAMMOCK. FROM THE FWS STOCK OF WEBSITE REGARDING THIS RARE AND NATIVE PLAN HABITAT, A MESIC TEMPERATE HAMMOCK IS IT CLOSED CANOPY FOREST. DOMINATED BY TEMPERED EVERGREEN TREE SPECIES, PRIMARILY LIVE OAK AND CABBAGE PALM THAT IS NATURALLY PROTECTED FROM FIRE BY ITS POSITION ON THE LANDSCAPE. MUSIC, TEMPERATE HAMMOCKS ARE IMPORTANT HABITATS FOR WILDLIFE PROVIDE SECONDARY HABITAT FOR A NUMBER OF RARE THREATENED AND ENDANGERED PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES. LOWER THE VILLAGES, FUTURE LAND USE, DOCUMENT SHARED BY JP THE VILLAGE OF ANY ATTACK. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSERVATION ELEMENTS, GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES. DO THE TIME. I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO READ THOSE INTO THE RECORD. I'M JUST GOING TO CLOSE WITH DOESN'T TAKE A GENIUS TO KNOW THAT IF YOU PLAN ON PROCEEDING WITH APPROVAL OF THIS PROJECT, YOU REALLY DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR COMMUNITIES. ANCHOR SAY, JUST GO AHEAD AND DO IT IS GOOD FOR YOU. SINCERELY, JAMES H S LATER. LAST EMAIL. THIS IS FROM A JOSEPH REVENUE. YOUR VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS. THE LAST MONTH I BECAME AWARE OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF RIVER OAK.

DURING MY RESEARCH INTO THIS PROJECT, I FOUND A NUMBER OF ITEMS THAT ARE VERY CONCERNING.

REZONING THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED AFFECTED THE FERNWOOD FORCED AND PALM OAKS NEIGHBORHOODS WAS POORLY EXECUTED. IT WAS INADEQUATE NOTIFICATION TO THE RESIDENTS ABOUT THE ZONING CHANGE. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OR NOTICES POSTED IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS. WE DIDN'T

[00:15:01]

WATER AND WASTEWATER CAPACITY TO HANDLE ADDITIONAL LOAD. SCHOOL CAPACITIES FOR INCREASED POPULATION. AS OUR VILLAGE GROWS AND EVOLVES, I WOULD HOPE MORE CONSIDERATION WILL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE THAT RESIDE HERE. I WOULD HOPE THAT BEFORE ANY CHANGES ARE MADE. EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO COMMUNICATE TO AND SEEK INPUT FROM OUR RESIDENTS. RAILROAD PROJECT WOULD BE AN ASSET TO OUR COMMUNITY IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION. HIS PROJECT IN ITS CURRENT FORM, WOULD DESTROY A RARE HABITAT CREATE SAFETY ISSUES FOR THE ADJOINING NEIGHBORHOODS AND NEGATIVELY AFFECT QUALITY OF LIFE AND PROPERTY VALUES FOR VILLAGE RESIDENTS. I'VE BEEN PROUD TO CALL ANY TOWN HOME FOR 38 YEARS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A GROWN AWAY THE BENEFITS OUR COMMUNITY. MY HOPE IS THAT WE CAN STEP BACK AND BE MORE CAREFUL AND CONSIDERATE. AS WE ALL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES. THAT'S THE LAST EMAIL HAVE. MADAM CLERK, I'D SENT YOU A TEXT MESSAGE. DO YOU READ INTO THE RECORD? OKAY? OKAY? THIS IS FROM. EARNESTINE PALMER.

ALL RIGHT, UM. I WANTED TO, UM. OH, THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN WILL GET $1.3 MILLION FROM THE $1.9 TRILLION IN THE STIMULUS FUNDS.

A BOARD GETS IT THE PC, A BOARD WILL RECOMMEND THE APPROVAL OR DENIAL, WITH OR WITHOUT CONDITIONS. AND THEN AFTER IT GOES TO THE PC, A BOARD IT COMES TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. AND SO WHEN, UM, THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS THE INPUT IS WELCOME. IT HELPS. YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU I'VE SEEN DIFFERENT COMMUNITY MEMBERS REACH OUT TO THE DEVELOPER. AND SO IT SHAPES THE PROJECT. WHILE IT'S BEING FINALIZED, SO CHANGES DO OCCUR THROUGHOUT ALL THE PHASES. WHATEVER'S BEING SENT OUT. THERE IS NOT FINAL THING. IT CAN BE TAKEN CHANGE FROM 0.12 POINT FIVE SO I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT STAY INVOLVED. BUT THE NEXT PROCESS WHEN YOU WILL SEE THIS APPLICATION COME IN FRONT.

IT WOULD BE TO THE PC, A BOARD AND AFTER HE GOES TO APPEASE THE WORD IT COMES TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. UM. THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. AH LOT OF PEOPLE I'VE SEEN THROUGHOUT THE THROUGHOUT THE THREE YEARS OF BEING ON A COUNCIL. THEY THINK THAT THE VILLAGE COUNCIL DOES EVERYTHING. STAFF WORK. NO, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE STAFF DOING THAT. UM WE DON'T REVISE APPLICATION WHEN WE RECEIVE IT THAT GOES TO STAFF THAT DOESN'T GO COME DIRECTLY TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR, BECAUSE, UH, I CAN'T FIRE OUR VILLAGE CLERK. I CAN'T FIRE ANY OF THEM. THE ONLY PERSON I CAN FIRE ON THIS BOARD IS. VILLAGE MANAGER AND THE VILLAGE ATTORNEY, BECAUSE WE CAN'T WE CONTACTED THEM DIRECTLY. SO. TEACHING OUR CONSTITUENTS THE PROCESS OF EVERYTHING IS KEY, AND I REALLY.

Approval of Contract Renewal with Quest Corporation of America for Communications Consultant Services in an Amount Not to Exceed $84,000.

WE DID SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. WE THOUGHT THAT WE WERE GOING TO GO OVER THEIR CONTRACT AMOUNT.

WHICH WE DID, AND WE ASKED THE COUNCIL TO, UH, INCREASE THE FUNDING. SO WE WENT FROM 48,400 OR 50,000. TO ABOUT 87,000. $87,000 AND. THERE. ONE YEAR WAS A MARCH 1ST. SO FOR THE FULL YEAR OF THEIR CONTRACT, THEY ONLY SPENT A TOTAL OF $67,000. I'VE HAD, UM S SO WHAT WE DID. WE WENT BACK TO QUEST TO SEE IF WE GET BETTER TERMS. AND TRY TO NEGOTIATE MORE SO OF A LUMP SUM CONTRACT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WHAT THEY PAY THEY HAVE THEY PAY A $90 A NOW OUR CHARGE. AND IT'S BASED ON THE WORKLOAD, SO WE LOOKED AT THEIR MONTHLY'S. IT WAS KIND OF UP AND DOWN THE BEGINNING BECAUSE THEY WERE SETTING UP TEMPLATES AND PROCESSES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE AND SO. YOU'D SEE SPIKES OF AYA'S 8009 $10,000, BUT RIGHT NOW WE THOUGHT THAT $7000 A MONTH IS WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET. HIM TO AGREE TO, AND I LOVE SOME CONTRACT. I HAVE MS RODRIGUEZ HERE TONIGHT. RODRIGUEZ. SHE'S ONE OF THE PRINCIPALS WITH QUEST. SHE'S HERE. TONTO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. I KNOW I'VE SPOKEN WITH A COUPLE OF YOU ALL ABOUT PARTICULARS, AND HOPEFULLY I'VE BEEN ABLE TO TALK ABOUT IT. SO. THAT WAS MY

[01:10:09]

WHAT IS? WHAT ARE THE SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED? WHAT DO THEY DO FOR US? WELL, THEY DO A NUMBER OF THINGS AND THEY DO NEWSLETTERS. THEY DO PRESS RELEASES. THEY PROVIDE US WITH, UM. APPROACHES TO CERTAIN ISSUES. UM. A ALL OF OUR CORRESPONDENCE THAT GOES OUT IN SPANISH. THEY ACTUALLY DO IT FOR US. BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE WHAT WE HAVE. WE HAVE.

OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE. SPANISH SPEAKING EMPLOYEES, BUT WE WHEN WE PUT THINGS IN SPANISH WRITING, WE LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT AND THAT WE DON'T OFFEND FOLKS OF THAT. THAT THAT LANGUAGE AND SO WE HIRE PROFESSIONAL TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE CORRESPONDS WE PUT OUT IS IN SPANISH, SO THOSE ARE PRIMARILY THE LARGE ITEMS THAT THEY DO FOR US. AND SO THAT $7000 A MONTH. UM ABOUT HOW MANY HOURS IS IT? I BELIEVE IT WORKS OUT TO BE ABOUT 80 HOURS A MONTH. AND THEN THIS CONTRACT STILL WOZ. MORE ECONOMICAL. THAN ANY OF THE OTHER. THIS CONTRACT WAS STILL LESS EVEN WHEN WITH THE AMENDMENT WE DID SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, THEN OUR NEXT HIGHEST BIDDER, WHICH WAS $90,000. I THINK IT WAS FIREFLY. FIREFLY.

SO WE WENT UP TO $84,000. WE DID NOT SPEND $84,000. WELL, HE'S BEEN $67,000. YEAH. DO YOU ANTICIPATE? THIS YEAR TO BE MORE THAN THAT. YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO SAY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN A. IN A ROUTINE WITH THEM, AND THE ROUTINE IS SHOWING THAT IS NOT GOING TO COST US AS MUCH, BUT THERE ARE THINGS THAT WILL COME UP LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, I ASKED FOR A PROPOSAL ON THE STATE OF THE VIDEO PRESENTATION BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WASN'T ABLE TO HELP US THAT WE'D HAVE A FALL BACK POSITION NOW AT LEAST KNOW HOW MUCH THAT WOULD COST IF WE DID IT. SO, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OUTGOING CALLS US ANYTHING. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW. OKAY? IS THAT IT? COUNCILWOMAN? GIVE SOMETHING. I DO. SEE ON ZOOM. THERE IS SOMEONE FROM THE COUNCIL. YES MADAM MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER STONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. COUNCILMAN STONE.

YES. UH, I MEAN, I JUST WANT TO GO OVER THIS THESE NUMBERS, SO I'M GOING TO CALL IT ROUGHLY 49,000 WHAT WE APPROVED THE FIRST TIME WHEN WE APPROVED THE CONTRACT, CORRECT? YES. AND THEN WE APPROVED IN ADDITION. AND CURRENTLY, THEY ONLY USE $67,000. THAT'S CORRECT. AND THAT THAT'S FOR A FULL YEAR. THAT'S THAT'S GREAT. OKAY. S O. THE REASON WHY THEY NEED TO INCREASE IS BECAUSE WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED, THEY WERE DOING A LOT OF ADDITIONAL THINGS AS FAR AS GETTING STARTED. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY. I THINK THAT'S ACCURATE. SO. E MEAN COMING FROM A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE. TECHNICALLY WE SHOULD BE SPENDING LESS THAN 48 AT THIS TIME, SO I'M AGAINST APPROVING A CONTRACT FOR $84,000. WHEN. THEY SPENT $67,000 LAST YEAR AND THAT WAS THE START UP COSTS SO. TO ME.

IF ANYTHING, WE SHOULD PROBABLY READ. RENEGOTIATE OR APPROVE THE SAME CONTRACT THAT WERE ORIGINALLY APPROVED. SO THAT WAY, BECAUSE I MEAN, I JUST DON'T SEE WHERE WE NEED TO APPROVE A CONTRACT FOR $87,000. I'M SORRY, $84,000 WHEN THEY ONLY USE 67, INCLUDING START UP COSTS. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. OKAY MADAM MAYOR. COUNCILMAN DARLING. YEAH THANK YOU. I THINK, UM. LET'S BACK UP A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL ON THE

[01:15:02]

SO, BUT WE QUICKLY DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE MORE THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. AND WE ARE DOING THOSE THINGS STILL AT THIS PRESENT TIME, SO I THINK I DON'T THINK THAT THE, UM UM.

STONE UM, I THINK THAT YOU'RE WE'RE MISSING THE SECOND HALF OF THAT PAYMENT, RIGHT? AND I THINK THOSE PAYMENTS COMBINED THE ORIGINAL PAYMENT AND WHAT WE ADDED TWO WERE STILL WAS CAME UP TO 67,000. IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY? SO UM. IN THIS CURRENT CONTRACT. THIS CONTRACT CAN BE UP TO 84,000 DEPENDING ON WHAT WE NEED THE SERVICES FOR THE YEAR, WHICH ROUGHLY COMES OUT THE 7000. DOLLARS A MONTH. WELL, I'M SORRY, BUT I HAVE A LITTLE TROUBLE APPROVING A CONTRACT FOR SOMETHING THAT WE STILL DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THEY NEED IT. SO IF IT'S UP TO ME, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR TWO. PROVED THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT. WELL FOR NOTHING. CAN I CAN I FINISH MY NOTES FIRST? MADAM MAYOR. YES THANK YOU. SO S SO AS I WAS SAYING, UM. WITH THIS CONTRACT, AND I THINK WE HAD A SIMILAR CONVERSATION. WHEN WE WERE EXTENDING ONDO REASON WAS BECAUSE WE DETERMINED THE ALL OF THE WORK THE EXTRA WORK THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE SO. SINCE WE HAVE SET THIS SET THIS, UM. THIS ORGANIZATION UP AND HAVE THE COMMUNICATION PARTS ON AGAIN AND I MENTIONED EARLIER WHEN THE EMERGENCY 911 CALL WE HAD, YOU KNOW, THE VILLAGE OF INDIANS. HOW SENT OUT AN EMAIL SENT OUT A NOTICE SO WE'RE USING THEM. UM IN THAT SAME CAPACITY. UM I SAY IF IT'S NOT BROKE. THEN DON'T FIX IT. I THINK IF WE ARE ALREADY WORKING WITH THIS COMPANY, THEY HAVE ALREADY SET UP EVERYTHING.

SEVEN YOU KNOW, YOU MENTIONED HOWARD THAT SOME MONTHS WERE 10,000 OTHER MONTHS WERE A LITTLE LOWER, SO I THINK THIS IS AH AVERAGE, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE DEALING WITH COMMUNICATIONS WERE ABOUT TO COME INTO THE HURRICANE SEASON. WE'RE DEALING WITH COVE IT ON ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING HERE AT THE VILLAGE. SO, UM. I JUST HOPE THAT YOU RECONSIDER BECAUSE WE DEFINITELY NEED THIS THIS ORGANIZATION THAT THEY'VE ALREADY SET EVERYTHING UP, AND THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH US FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. UM AND SO, UM, I JUST WANT YOU TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS. WHAT IS THE AVERAGE COST PER MONTH? IT'S. IF YOU CAN, IF YOU CAN HEAR, UH, COUNTENANCE TONY, IT'S ABOUT $6000 PER MONTH RIGHT NOW THE LAST FOUR MONTHS. SO THAT SOUNDS PRETTY CONSISTENT IF YOU ASK ME. DO WE? I DO SEE SOMEONE ELSE'S COUNCILMAN. STONE IS THAT. WELL, I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION, OK? UM. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY WAS THE START UP COSTS AS FAR AS GETTING EVERYTHING SET UP. ON THE FIRST THREE MONTHS WHEN WE SIGNED THE CONTRACT WHAT WAS THE AVERAGE MONTHS COST? YOU KNOW, I DON'T I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

I KNOW WHEN WE DID THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING OF THE CONTRACT WE PROVIDED. YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE MONTHS WERE? BUT I DON'T HAVE INFORMATION. DANIEL, DO YOU EUROPEAN WHAT THEY WERE.

NO. WAS A 22,000. YEAH, RIGHT HERE. JUST STAND BY THE CAN'T COUNCILMAN. HI, EVERYONE.

COUNCIL MEMBERS, DANIEL LIKE VILLAGE OF ANY IN TOWN. UM I DON'T KNOW THE AVERAGE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I KNOW THE FIRST THREE OR FOUR MONTHS. WE PAID THEM KNEE WAS IN BETWEEN ABOUT 8000 AND $10,000 A MONTH FOR A GOOD STRETCH. JUST CAUSE WE HAD NOTHING SET UP AT ALL, AND IT TOOK TIME TO ROLL EVERYTHING OUT. SO LET'S SAY ON AVERAGE $8000, AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAD TO GET EVERYTHING THAT UP RIGHT NOW. WOULD YOU SAY WE HAVE EVERYTHING SET UP AT THIS POINT? YES. SO IT'S SAFE TO SAY $6000 A MONTH. IT'S GOOD. $6000

[01:20:02]

WELL, IT'S IF YOU RECALL WE WERE LOOKING AT THE SPIKES AND WE WERE TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF WHAT WOULD A NEW CONTRACT WITH QUEST LOOK LIKE? AND SO THAT'S WHY WE LOOKED AT WELL, MAYBE WE GO AND ASK FOR LOVE, SOME CONTRACT AND THE LUMP SUM CONTRACT. WHEN WE TALKED WITH QUEST CAME OUT TO BE $7000 PER MONTH, $84,000. UM UM FOR THE YEAR. AND SO YOU KNOW, IF WE GO TO THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT, THAT WAS $9 AN HOUR, I FORGET EXACTLY HOW MANY HOURS YOU GET EACH MONTH. BUT WE'VE ONLY SPENT THAT OUR EXPERIENCE FURTHER YEAR WAS $67,000 FORGET WHAT WAS ANYMORE. IT WAS $67,000 FOR THE YEAR, SO WE KNOW THAT WE SPENT $67,000 FOR THE YEAR. AND, UM. YOU KNOW, IT'S GOT TO BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 67 84. $67 I'M SORRY, $67,000 FOR A YEAR THAT BASICALLY COME UP TO HER AVERAGE. LET'S CALL IT $5600 A MONTH. WHY WOULD I WANT TO GIVE THEM $7000 A MONTH IF THEIR AVERAGES $5600 A MONTH. WELL, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO SET A BUDGET. WE'RE NOT. WE'RE NOT GIVING THEM MORE THAN WHAT THEY ACTUALLY WORK. THEY HAVE TO ITEMIZE THEIR HOURS THAT THEY WORK SO. IF THAT'S OUR GOAL, WE NEED TO MAKE THAT REALLY CLEAR BECAUSE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S SET OUT AS A LUMP SUM. PAYMENT OF 7000 MONTH, AS OPPOSED TO SOMETHING THEY BILL AGAINST EVERY MONTH SO WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET A LITTLE CLARIFICATION. UH IN SPEAKING WITH FOLKS FROM QUEST, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE WILLING TO DO? HOW THERE ONLY TO WORK THAT. YEAH WELL, YEAH, WE DEFINITELY CLEARED THAT UP.

WELL, LET'S WE HAVE MS RODRIGUEZ HERE. SHE'S WITH QUEST. I'M CERTAIN THAT. WELL, I HOPE THAT SHE'S ABLE TO TALK ABOUT THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENT THAT WE HAVE AND SPECIFICALLY THE INVOICES THAT WE RECEIVED EACH MONTH. MAYBE MADE MARY BROOKS IS HERE AS WELL. SO SHE COULD SOAK IN UP. OKAY WELL, MISS BROOKS, I'VE NEVER MET YOU BEFORE. BUT GOOD AFTERNOON. AND IF YOU COULD WALK US THE NAME OF THE INVOICES. THANK YOU. I THINK. GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS WHAT WE WERE ATTEMPTING TO DO HERE, AS WAS MENTIONED WAS THE KIND OF LEVEL OUT THOSE MONTHLY COSTS FOR YOU, UM THE COSTS OBVIOUSLY REFLECT. THE LIGHTNING SPEED WITH WHICH YOU ALL ARE DOING WORK, THE DYNAMIC ACTIVITY THAT YOU ALL HAVE GOING ON AND THE ASSOCIATED COMMUNICATION NEEDS TO GO ALONG WITH THAT ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY. WHETHER IT'S THE ACQUISITION OF THE UTILITY, REPUBLICAN ZONE PLANNING AND ZONING ORDINANCE IN A RELATED COMMUNICATION, ALL OF THOSE ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES THAT YOU ALL ARE TAKING ON YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE ABOUT THOSE SERVICES, AND SO THAT DOES INCREASE OUR ACTIVITY. WE? AS WAS NOTED, WE DISCUSSED DOING AND BUMP, SOME AS RICH REQUESTED TO TRY AND NOT ONLY COVER WHAT'S CURRENTLY GOING ON. BUT AS YOU CONTINUE TO INCREASE YOUR ACTIVITIES AND YOUR SERVICES TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION NEEDS SO THAT NUMBER WAS ARRIVED THAT TRYING NOT ONLY COVER WHAT'S GOING ON NOW, BUT AS ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND COMMUNICATION NEEDS COME ON LINE TO GIVE YOU THAT SORT OF WINDOW OF THAT BUFFER TO COVER THAT. SO THAT WAS WHAT WAS ATTEMPTED HERE, BUT WE CERTAINLY CAN TAKE A DIFFERENT LOOK AT THE COUNCIL HAS A DIFFERENT DESIRE AT THIS TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS REALLY CLEAR UP BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T JUSTIFY. IN $70,000 A MONTH WHEN ON AVERAGE WITH HIM.

55 83. IT JUST GETS TO ME. AWESOME UNDERSTAND, MAYA ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTAND THAT AGAIN. WE WERE RUNNING INTO GOING OVER SOME OF THE SCOPE HOURS IN THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT,

[01:25:06]

SO I DID MY MATH AT $90 ON OUR 80 HOURS A WEEK. I MEAN, 80 HOURS A MONTH. UM THAT'S $7200 A MONTH. IF YOU DO IT ON HOURLY BASIS VERSUS THE LOP SOME, I GUESS YOU'RE SAVING $200. GIVE, UM. THEY AVERAGES 6000 MONTH. SO IS THAT LIKE $1000 BUFFER, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK.

YOU KNOW, I'M AT THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNTS. THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR CLARKE AND JUST. TO STAY.

UM WHAT? UM, EVERYONE HAS STATED, I REALLY THINK THAT WE WILL HAVE AN INCREASE. WE DON'T WANNA INTERRUPT OUR PR. PEOPLE THINK THAT THIS IS. PRINTING THIS IS NOT PRINTING. THIS IS BASICALLY OUR PUBLIC RELATIONS. UH, UH, TEAM, OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE BASICALLY AH, STAFF, THEY USUALLY HAVE 3 TO 5, AND THIS IS BASICALLY OUTSOURCED. UM SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE EXTRA EMPLOYEES ON BOARD. SO I DO THINK THAT THE. UM WOULD YOU BE MR BROOKS WOULD WOULD THIS BE BUILT? FOR EXAMPLE? IF ONE MONTH WE'LL GO OVER THE 7002? BECAUSE WE'VE ESTIMATED. THE HOUR OR THE 7000 PER MONTH. THERE'S ONE MONTH THAT WE HAVE 7500. WOULD WE JUST GET THAT FLAT RATE OF 7000 FOR THAT ONE MONTH? THAT'S GENERALLY THE IDEA IN TERMS OF SOME SOME CONTRACTS. UNLESS THERE IS SOME, YOU KNOW, INORDINATE SITUATION OR TOTALLY UNEXPECTED SITUATION WHERE THERE'S SOME NEED FOR SOME MAJOR. INVESTMENT OR COST. THAT TYPICALLY IS HOW THE LUMP SUM WOULD WORK. OKAY AND. I REALLY THINK THAT THE FIELD FROM THE COUNCIL IS THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO, UM, I HAVEN'T SAID HOW I FEEL. WHAT? YOU ACTUALLY ALREADY SPOKE. I WAS ASKING QUESTIONS I WOULDN'T INDICATING HOW I FELT ABOUT THE. ABOUT THE SITUATION. OKAY, WELL, COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS. UM, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I APPRECIATE COUNCILMAN STONE CLARIFYING THIS BECAUSE I WAS KIND OF EVEN ASKING THE QUESTIONS THAT I DID ABOUT THE 80 HOURS AND WHAT IT WAS. I WAS. IN MY MIND, I WAS STILL THINKING IT WAS HOURLY AND NOT WHAT SOME AND IT IS A HUGE JUMP TO GO FROM 67. WE STARTED OUT AT 48. BY THE END OF THE YEAR. WE HAD 67.

APPARENTLY WE DIDN'T SCALE BACK TALKING ABOUT SCALED BACK OR IT WAS, YOU KNOW, HAVING INTERRUPTED SERVICE. I DON'T THINK AND WE STARTING OUT AT 48. AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

WE'VE WE'VE USED 67. I DON'T THINK ANYTHING WAS SCALED BACK, AND I DON'T THINK THAT THERE WAS ANY INTERRUPTION AND WHAT WE DID, SO I DON'T THINK THAT'S AN ISSUE. THAT'S NOT A FEAR THAT WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GOING FORWARD. EVEN IF WE. SAY 67 OR 70,000 FOR THE YEAR. UM

[01:30:07]

SO I WAS THINKING IT WAS HOURLY. I KIND OF LIKE THE HOURLY THING RATHER THAN THIS, BECAUSE, APPARENTLY HOURLY, EVEN DOING HOURLY LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR. WE COME IN CHEAPER THAN THE OTHER AND. FROM WHAT WAS INDICATE. WHAT HAS BEEN INDICATED IS WE WERE REALLY USING THE HOURS THIS PAST YEAR GETTING THINGS SET UP SO. THAT'S MY TAKE, OKAY? SO WHAT'S THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL? DO YOU WANT TO HAVE THIS? COME BACK. WHEN DOES THIS CONTRACT END? THIS CONTRACT IS CONTRACT ENDED ON MARCH 1ST. SO YOU KNOW WE COULD WE COULD RENEW THE.

HOURLY RATE BY CONTRACT AND. YOU KNOW, AND THEN IF IT EXCEEDS 40 $50,000 WOULD COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL. LADY YET, SO YEAH, JUST A DIFFERENT THOUGHT IN THIS TRY TOE. THREAD THE NEEDLE ON THIS FOR FOLKS WHO SEE THE NEED FOR AN EXPANDED. AMOUNT THAT THE 84,000 BASICALLY THERE IS A NOT TO EXCEED BUDGET. YOU COULD. DO RENEW THE HOURLY CONTRACT, BUT EXPAND YOUR NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT FROM THE 49,000 OR WHAT HAVE YOU TO THE 84,000, IN WHICH CASE THEY'D BE ABLE TO PROCEED ON AS THEY WERE, BUT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL TO GET APPROVAL. UNTIL IT'S THEY SPENT UP TO 84,000. IT'S JUST A THOUGHT. IF THERE'S SOME CONCERN ABOUT ABOUT LUMP SUM WITH A WITH. FACT, AT LEAST IN THE WORDING HERE A CAP EVERY MONTH. DO WE HAVE EMOTION? YES I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE WITH THE 90 $90 AN HOUR CONTRACT. WHATEVER THAT HAS BEEN STATED BEFORE FROM OUR ATTORNEY NOT TO EXCEED 84,000. UM NOT TO EXCEED $84,000. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND ICE IN THERE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL. MADAM. THERE. COULD WE ASK QUEST REAL QUICK.

IF THERE IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO? LET'S MAKE HIM HIS BREATH. ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? WE WOULD BE FIRED PROCEEDING WITH A NARROWLY RATE BUILDING AS NEEDED UP TO A LIMITING AMOUNT OF $84,000. YES. NO, NO OTHER FURTHER DISCUSSION BY A COUNCIL ANY PUBLIC COMMENT. YES, MADAM MAYOR. MISS ROBIN WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMIC AHEAD AND I NEED YOU, MIKE. HI, DEB. YOU'RE A GONER. FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO SAY TO MR STONE AND SUSAN GIBBS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING GOOD STEWARDS OF THE CITIZENS OF INDIAN TOWN ABOUT SPENDING OUR MONEY. SECOND AGO IF THEY'RE SUCH GOOD COMMUNICATION, WHY WAS THERE NO COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE ZONING CHANGE TO THE COMMUNITY HERE THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH A MAJOR CHANGE? WE WERE RULE, AND NOW WE'VE BEEN REZONED. I GOT NO LETTER, NO NOTIFICATION, NO SIGNS. NO PAMPHLET IN THE MAIL.

NOTHING IN UTILITY BILLS. NOTHING SO I'M NOT REALLY HIGH ON THE COMMUNICATE OCCASION QUEST RIGHT NOW. DID WE NOT HIRE A COMMUNICATIONS PERSON? IN THE IN THE VILLAGE. AND CAN THIS PERSON NOT HANDLE DOING A NEWSLETTER AND PUTTING OUT BULLETINS TO THE PUBLIC OR A NEWSLETTER IN THE UTILITY BILL? AND SECOND OF ALL. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF WE DO NEED THAT PERSON.

IT MIGHT BE CHEAPER TO HIRE A PERSON. THEIR SALARY MAY NOT BE 84,000. WE MAY BE PAYING 60,000 PURSE $2 TO DO A PERSON. HAVE THEM ON STAFF, AND LAST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A REQUEST FOR THE NEXT MEETING TO HAVE ALL THE MONEY THAT WE'RE PAYING TWO CONSULTANTS AND CONTRACTORS. THE PUBLIC TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. I'D LIKE A LIST. I LIKE A SPREADSHEET ON HOW MUCH WE'RE PAYING OUT TO ALL THESE CONSULTANTS BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEEM TO BE VERY CONSIDERATE ABOUT THE TAXPAYERS OF INDIAN TOWN AND HOW MUCH WE'RE PAYING OUT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. OUR PUBLIC COMMENTS. AMOUNT OF THE ROLE

Approval of Contract with Kimley Horn and Associates for Water Treatment Plant Evaluation and  Preliminary Design Report in the amount of $93,577.00.

IT GETS THE FERNWOOD FORCED AREA. BILL ARCHER BILL IS HERE TO WALK US THROUGH WHAT THIS CHANGE OR IS ALL ABOUT. NO. EVENING MADAM MAYOR. LATEST FILM OF THE COUNCIL. UM THE PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE PROJECT AS YOU WERE CALLED THE VILLAGE BUDGET $340,000 ANNUALLY AND LAST YEAR WE DID ZONES ONE AND THREE. WE CAME IN FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT 323,000 OUT OF OUR 300.

I'M SORRY ABOUT 330,000. OUT OF OUR 340,000 BUDGET LAST YEAR. WE INCLUDE A CONTINGENCY AND THERE JUST IN CASE WE COME ACROSS SOMETHING UNFORESEEN. LAST YEAR, WE DID NOT COME ACROSS SOMETHING UP FOR SEEING THIS YEAR. HOWEVER WE AT BOWMAN HAD AN ERROR IN OUR QUANTITY CALCULATIONS. MAPLE AVENUE WAS INADVERTENTLY OMITTED FROM THE CAPE SEAL WORK AND FERN WOULD FORCE THE CONTRACTOR CAUGHT IT DURING FINAL QUANTITY. TRUE UPS BEFORE THEY BEGAN THE WORK ON THE STREETS, AND SO WITH THAT IN MIND, WE'RE REQUESTING A CHANGE ORDER. UM. TO THE A P S FOR THE MICRO SURFACING WORK AND THE CAPE CIA WORK IN THAT COMMUNITY THAT CHANGE ORDER FOR THE QUANTITY OF THAT STREET WOULD BE 13,509. IT WOULD TAKE THEIR CONTRACT FROM 156,002 170,000 ROUGHLY, I'M ROUNDING NUMBERS OFF ON YOU THERE SO. IT WILL STILL BE WELL WITHIN OUR 340,000 ANNUAL BUDGET. WE CURRENTLY WERE SPENDING 309,009. THIS WOULD TAKE US TO 323,000 5, 323,071 AND 64 CENTS, BUT STILL WITHIN WHAT COUNSEL HAD BUDGETED FOR THE WORK ANNUALLY.

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW A PS HAS ALREADY DONE THIS WORK. THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WERE WORKING AT RISK AND THAT THEIR CHANGE ORDER MAY NOT BE APPROVED. THEY INDICATED THEY HAD WORKED WITH THE VILLAGE LAST YEAR, WANTED A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP. SO REGARDLESS OF WHAT COUNSEL DECIDES TONIGHT, THEY WENT AHEAD AND DID THAT WORK FOR US. UH, THEY HAVE EMOTION. SO MOVE FOR APPROVAL. COUNCILMAN DOWLING, DO YOU HAVE A SECOND? NO SECOND. DO I HAVE ANOTHER MOTION? SO GUYS. UM, THEY DID WORK FOR US, AND WE NEED TO PAY THESE PEOPLE. SO I'M NOT SURE WHY WHY I COULDN'T GET A SECOND. AGAIN THIS WORK WAS DONE BY THIS COMPANY, AND WE STILL OWED HIM $13,590 IN 28 CENTS. MR BILL ARCHER BELL? YES, I WOULD. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, UM. IF BOWMAN IF THERE WAS NOT A CONTRACT DISCREPANCY, AND THAT STREET MAPLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT, THE TOTAL COST WOULD BE EXACTLY THE NUMBER THAT WE'RE AT WITH THE CHANGE ORDER. THE CHANGE ORDER EXTENDS THE UNIT COST THAT THEY WERE CHARGING US THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE PROJECT. ALL WE DID WAS EXPAND THAT TO ADD THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE ROAD THAT WAS MISSED. OKAY SO, MR SO, MR IS GOOD. MR ARCHER. WELL LET ME JUST UNDERSTAND. SO, YOU KNOW, UH, THE COUNCIL UNDERSTANDS. AND MYSELF. THIS WAS ALREADY DONE. THEY'VE ALREADY DID THIS JUST BECAUSE THEY REALLY THOUGHT THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD PAY THEM BECAUSE THERE WAS A DISCREPANCY. WHERE THE LINE DIDN'T HAVE THE AMOUNT FOR THAT. IT LISTED THE ROAD BUT DIDN'T HAVE. UH PRICE CHECK IN OUR SPREADSHEET THAT'S CORRECT. IN OUR SPREADSHEET, THE LAST LINE IN THE SPREADSHEET IS THAT STREET AND THE QUANTITIES WERE NOT TAKEN ACROSS SO. WHEN THE CONTRACTOR GOT OUT IN THE FIELD, AND THEY WERE MEASURING UP THE MATERIAL. THEY DISCOVERED THAT

[01:40:01]

OKAY. DOES ANY OF THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DO I HAVE EMOTION? OH, I HAVE COURSE YOU COUNCILWOMAN GIVES SUMMIT. SO THIS DIFFERENCE IN THE AMOUNT THAT WAS THE VILLAGE STAFF ERROR. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT WAS A BOWMAN CONSULTING. THAT'S BOWMAN. CONSULTING THERE WAS AN OMISSION IN THE SPREADSHEET IN THE DESIGN, AND SO WHEN IT WAS GIVEN TO THE CONTRACTOR, THEY BID THE PROJECT BASED ON THE QUANTITIES WHICH IS BASICALLY TONNAGE AND SQUARE FOOTAGE SQUARE YARDS OF WORK. SO WHEN THEY MEASURED UP THE WORK PRIOR TO PUTTING THE MATERIAL ON THE GROUND. THEY DISCOVERED THAT WE WERE SHORT ON OUR QUANTITY FOR THE MATERIAL THAT WOULD HAVE COVERED THE COMMUNITY. SO IN AND IN THE INTERESTS OF DOING THE INTENT OF THE WORK AND FINISHING THE WORK IN THAT COMMUNITY AND FINISHING THAT STREET. CONTRACTOR MOVE FORWARD WITH IT WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WOULD SUBMIT A CHANGE ORDER, NO GUARANTEE OF APPROVAL, BUT WE WOULD SUBMIT A CHANGE ORDER BASED UPON THE BID PRICE IS THREE UNIT PRICES, SO I WOULD LIKE THAT THAT IF WE BOWMAN. HEAD OF NOT MISSED THIS. THE TOTAL COST OF THE VILLAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN EXACTLY THE COST WITH THIS CHANGE WATER. OKAY, SO THIS IS NOT AN ERROR ON THEIR PART. BUT AND I GUESS THE REASON I HESITATE IS BECAUSE I HAVE HAD, UM.

COMMENTS FROM RESIDENTS AROUND DOWN THERE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE WORK. THEY SAID THAT THERE'S GRASS SPOKEN YESTERDAY, SO, AND CAN YOU PLEASE? YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM. THIS IS THE SAME PRODUCT AS FAR AS THE MICRO SURFACE ON WHAT WAS DONE LAST YEAR IN THE REST OF THE VILLAGE, AND IF YOU'LL RECALL FOR THE FIRST FEW WEEKS AFTER THE MATERIAL GOES DOWN, IT'S VERY BLACK AS AN OILY SHINE TO IT THE TRACKS AND THEN THAT WEARS AWAY AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE STREETS THAT WE DID LAST YEAR. IT'S DIFFICULT TO TELL WHICH STREETS WERE MICRO SURFACED IN WHICH STREETS HAVE ASKED FALL DOWN ON THEM. YOU'D HAVE TO REALLY GO OUT THERE AND TAKE A REAL HARD LOOK AT THE STREETS. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE UNUSUAL PRODUCTS THAT WEARS IN AND LOOKS MORE LIKE ASPHALT. OVER TIME. I SPOKE WITH MISS BROWN AND HAVE ALSO SPOKEN TO MR PASS QUALITY IN THE COMMUNITY. ABOUT TWO SEPARATE ISSUES AND MISS BROWN AND I SPOKE A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. AND SO SHE UNDERSTANDS WHAT'S HAPPENED. SHE UNDERSTANDS THE MATERIAL AND THAT THE BLACK COLORATION VERSUS THE OTHER STREET WILL FADE OVER TIME, AND YOU WILL FIND THAT WITHIN 2 TO 3 MONTHS THAT BLACK WILL BE COMPLETELY GONE AND IT WILL LOOK LIKE ASPHALT. SO I SPOKE WITH HER AND SHE WAS OK. I UNDERSTOOD SHE HAD FAMILY ISSUES GOING ON AT THE TIME, BUT SHE AND I SPOKE FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR. SHE WAS OKAY. AND I ASKED HER TO PLEASE CIRCLE BACK WITH ME IN A FEW MONTHS. WE HAVE A WARRANTY FOR A PRODUCT CONTRACTORS ASSURED ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOING AS IT SHOULD. BUT WE HAVE A WARRANTY, AND IF THERE'S A PROBLEM, THEY WILL CERTAINLY COME OUT AND FIX IT. OKAY. AND SO YOU YOU HAVE BEEN DOWN THERE LOOKED AT IT. YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. OKAY, SO LET ME ASK YOU THE SOMEBODY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT GRASS GROWING UP THROUGH. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THAT WAS? YES, MA'AM. THAT GRASS WAS ALREADY THEY'RE GROWN THROUGH OUR ASPHALT. BASICALLY WHAT'S HAPPENED IS OVER THE YEARS, THE GRASS ON THE EDGE OF THE ROADS HAS NOT BEEN EDGED.

SO THE GRASS HAS GROWN OVER THE STREETS WHERE YOU COULD NOT SEE THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. SO WHEN THE CONTRACTOR WENT OUT TO DO THE MICRO SURFACING, THEY WANTED TO DO THE ENTIRE STREET.

SO THEY CUT THE BACK THE GRASS BACK TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD SO THEY COULD FIND THE EDGE OF THE ROAD WHEN THEY MICRO SURFACE, AND UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD SOME GRASS THAT HAD GROWN UP THROUGH THE ASPHALT THAT YOU COULDN'T SEE BECAUSE OF THE GRASS OVER THE SIDE. THERE ARE JUST LIKE, IF YOU DON'T EDGE YOUR YARD. IF YOU'RE LIVING ON THE EDGE OF THE ROAD, THE GRASS WILL GROW UP OVER THE ROAD, SO WE HAD LOST A FOOT OF OUR ROAD ON EITHER SIDE THAT THEY CUT BACK AND FOUND, SO I WILL HAVE SOMEONE OUT WITH AN HERBICIDE THAT WILL GO AND KILL THAT. SO THAT IT DOESN'T CONTINUE TO GROW UP THROUGH THE MICRO SURFACE. IT WAS ALREADY GROWING

[01:45:03]

WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT THAT NEXT YEAR. WE WERE TRYING TO SAVE THE MONEY ON THE MOBILIZATION. WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM LAST YEAR IN THE UPTOWN AREA. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFICATION. THANK YOU. I DO SEE ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER FOR THREE. YES ABOUT A MAN BY SMITH CLOCK LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER. THANK YOU, BILL FOR THE CLARIFICATION. YES, MA'AM. SO DO I HAVE EMOTION? SECOND. YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL? ANY PUBLIC COMMENT. I DO SEE, TOO. STEPS MADAM MAYOR, TO DOWN NEVER READ IF YOU ON MUTUAL MIKE. YOU CAN SPEAK. HI. GOOD NIGHT. MY NAME IS OLGA VANITA. AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY BILL THE STREET THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO IS THE ONE ON MAPLE AVENUE. YES, MA'AM. I WOULD. I DON'T KNOW. I CAN SEND YOU A VIDEO. I HAVE RAIN VIDEO. THEY TOOK THE COMPANY TRUCK AND BACKED IT UP INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND LEFT BLACK MARKS ON THE DRIVEWAY. YOU SAID THAT THAT WILL EVENTUALLY GO AWAY. YES MA'AM, BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT.

HI THIS IS JOE RAYNOR. I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO HOW IN A SMALL SIX STREET DEVELOPMENT WE HAD ONE STREET MISSED. IN THE ESTIMATE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. AND WHOEVER DID THAT ESTIMATE SHOULD EAT THAT COST. UH, SIR. THAT STREET IS WHEN WE PUT THE PAYMENT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM TOGETHER. IT INCLUDES EVERY STREET AT THAT SIDE OF THE VILLAGE, SO THAT ONE LINE DOWN THERE WAS THE VERY LAST LINE IN THE SPREADSHEET AND. SO THE NUMBER DIDN'T CARRY DOWN WHEN THE WHEN THE WORK WAS DONE BY ALL THAT ACCEPTABLE? THAT'S AN UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER. AND WHOEVER DID THAT WORK NEEDS TO EAT THAT COST, NOT THE VILLAGE. SIR, I'LL POINT OUT IT'S NOT AN ETON COST. UM IF THAT SPREADSHEET HAD HAVE BEEN CORRECT, THE VILLAGE WOULD NOT BE PAYING ONE DIME OR THAN THEY WILL BE SPENDING. AND FELT THAT IN VERY SIMPLE. SIXTH STREET NEIGHBORHOOD. I DON'T I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT GOT MISSED. IT'S NOT 1/6 STREET SPREADSHEETS, SIR. IT'S ABOUT 50 STREETS ON THE SPREADSHEET. IT GOES BY EVERY BENNETT'S NOT BY STREET. IT'S EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT FORESTS AND BOMB OAKS. YOU GOT SIX STREETS BACK HERE. HOW DID THAT GET MISSED? SIR, IF YOU LOOK AT THE AGENDA PACKAGE IF THEY IF IT'S AVAILABLE, OR I CAN SHOW YOU THE SPREADSHEET WE'RE DISCUSSING IS NOT THOSE SIX STREETS, THE SIX STREETS OR PART OF A VILLAGE WIDE PROJECT, SO. THE SPREADSHEET. THAT'S IN QUESTION AND THE WORK THAT'S IN QUESTION ENCOMPASSES A LOT MORE THAN SIMPLY FERNWOOD FORCE. IT ENCOMPASSES FERN, WHAT FOREST AND A SIGNIFICANT PORTION. THE UPTOWN AREA ALSO. OKAY, WELL, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMEBODY'S INCOMPETENCE CAN COST THE VILLAGE'S EXTRA MONEY.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU. ROLL CALM, PLEASE. COUNCIL MEMBER, DARLING, I. DON'T REMEMBER GIVES THOMAS. COUNCIL MEMBER STONE. YES. FOUND SOME VICE MAYOR CLARKE. YES MAYOR HERNANDEZ. YES. MR VILLAGE MANAGER. I DON'T NUMBER 13, PLEASE. ACTUALLY ITEM NUMBER 12.

WE'RE CERTAINLY ABSOLUTELY BE GREAT. FREED TO SPEAK, BUT I WAS JUST GOING TO SUGGEST FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE RECORD FOR THIS ITEM, AND FOR THE NEXT ONE. IT'S A GOOD IDEA THAT THAT STAFF. DIVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF AH, SUMMARY OF, UM, WHAT IT IS THAT'S THAT'S BEING PRESENTED.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE APPLICANT. SO. SO WHAT I CAN DO IS GO THROUGH THE STAFF REPORT VERY QUICKLY HERE. COVER. CHANGES THAT BEING REQUESTED. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THEM. BUT SOME BEING. JUST RUDIMENTARY CLEANUPS BECAUSE NOW WE OWN THE UTILITY AND IT'S NO LONGER A PRIVATE UTILITY IS THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN UTILITY COMPANY. ARE THERE CHANGES LIKE THAT? WE DELETED LANGUAGE REGARDING A TEMPORARY SALES OFFICE BECAUSE OUR CODE NOW PROVIDES FOR THAT.

WE ALSO ARE LOOKING AT PROPOSED CHANGES. REGARDING THE CONNECTION FOR WATER AND SEWER.

WATER AND SEWER CONNECTIONS ARE ALLUDED TO AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO HOOK UP WHENEVER THEY GOT WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OR 150. FT. WE ALSO PUT IN A PROVISIONED FOR THE SIDEWALKS ALONG FOX BROWN ROAD THAT THERE WOULD BE A PAYMENT IN LIEU TO BE PLACED IN TOW, AN ACCOUNT FOR REPAIR AND CONSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALKS WITHIN THE VILLAGE. OTHER CHANGES ALSO INCLUDED.

DRAINAGE IN THE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT SO. AN ENDANGERED SPECIES, OF COURSE TO BE PROTECTED WITH. THEY'RE PRESERVED AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN OR PANTS. AND ALSO FIRE PROTECTION HAVING THAT SAME QUARTER. REQUIREMENT. THIS WOZ, UM, REVIEWED AND BY THE PLANNING, ZONING AND APPEALS BOARD. AND THEY RECOMMENDED THAT THE VILLAGE COUNCIL APPROVED THE THIRD AMENDMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT. YEAH. IS ANY MEMBER COUNCIL MEMBER HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? CONCERNED MADAM MAYOR. NOT NECESSARILY YOUR QUESTION, BUT JUST. OR LAYMAN TERMS FOR OUR PUBLIC. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. YES, AND ALL WE'RE DOING IS JUST CLEANING UP LANGUAGE, CORRECTING A COUPLE THINGS AND EXPANDING THE WATER SEWER. STUFF YEAH, CLAIRE FOR CLOSURE. THANK YOU S OH, UM, SO WE'VE ALREADY DEALT WITH THIS, UM. JUST IN CASE THE PUBLIC DOESN'T. IS SO THAT WE CAN CHAT WITH THE PUBLIC JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT. HEALTHIER. NO. ONE OF THE GREATEST CONCERNS AND THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN

[02:15:06]

COUNTY. HAD. AND HE WAS INDIAN TOWN COMMERCE PARK HAVE CREATE THAT LITTLE LAKE SO THAT BECAUSE OF THE WATER PRESSURE WASN'T. GREAT SO THEY HAD THEM FOR THE COMMERCIAL, SO THEY HAD HIM CREATE THAT LITTLE LAKE WHERE THEY CAN PULL WATER OUT. BUT NOW THAT YOU KNOW WE'RE GONNA DO WE HAVE A FIVE YEAR. PLAN TO BETTER OUR WATER SEWERS. UM COMPANY. ARE THEY? WILL THEY BE OBLIGATED IN THE FUTURE ONCE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ARE DONE. SO, YES, MA'AM.

THAT'S ON PAGE EIGHT OF THE STAFF REPORT PAGE 1 18 IN YOUR AGENDA BOOKLET UNDER NUMBER 14, WHERE THEY WOULD WITHIN A QUARTER OF A MILE. 400 IT WAS PREVIOUSLY 100 AND 50. FT WOULD HAVE TO CONNECT TO ANY OF OUR. SANITARY SEWER SYSTEMS, OKAY, AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO KEEP THAT PUMP OR THAT LAKE STILL. EVEN THOUGH THAT I THINK THEY THEY SPEND A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY. I'M NOT SURE I KNOW THAT THEY SPEND. OR A PUMP OR SOMETHING TO PUMP THAT WATER WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO KEEP THAT? I THINK THAT'S DIFFERENT. OKAY I'M NOT. I'M NOT. CAN YOU ANSWER THAT QUESTION? SO WHEN YOU SO WHEN YOU GET UP THERE YOU CAN. YOU CAN. YOU CAN CLARIFY THAT. SO MAYBE THAT'S BETTER FOR THE APPLICANT MAYOR TO LET HIM ADDRESS THAT. OKAY, THAT'S OKAY. SO THAT WAS LIKE THE HUGE IS CONCERNED. NOW THAT YOU KNOW WE HAVE THE FIVE YEAR PLAN WITH OUR WATER COMPANY TO IMPROVE THE BUSINESSES WILL COMMERCIAL. WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE CONNECT AND IF THERE THEY WILL BE OBLIGATED TO SO YOU ALREADY ANSWERED THAT. THANK YOU. DOES THE COUNSEL HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. MAYOR YET. GOOD EVENING.

HOPEFULLY I CAN ADD SOME CLARITY TO THE APPLICATION. UM, ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE RECORD. MY NAME IS MORRIS CRAZY. I'M SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT. WITH ACETONE ASSOCIATES WERE LAND PLANNING FIRM AND STUART AND. I MOVED DOWN TO MARTIN COUNTY 1978 AND I WENT TO SCHOOL AT JENSEN BEACH. F I T WHEN THERE WAS A SCHOOL THERE AND WORK FOR 10 YEARS WITH MARTIN COUNTY AS THEIR LAND PLANNERS. SO I UNDERSTAND THE GROWING PAINS.

YOU GUYS YOU'RE GOING THROUGH BECAUSE WHEN I TOOK THE JOB WITH MARTIN COUNTY, THEY HAD JUST ADOPTED THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. SO I'M AFRAID THE GROWING PAINS DON'T STOP, BUT IT DOES GET BETTER. I ASSURE YOU, IT DOES GET BETTER. ON DIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION. I REPRESENT THE PROPERTY OWNER WHO WAS PUERTO PROPERTIES WHOSE AH GENTLEMAN NAMED PAUL FELIPE A. HE'S ALSO LONGTIME LOCAL MARTIN COUNTY RESIDENT. AND THE PROJECT WAS APPROVED IN MARTIN COUNTY IN 2007, AND IT WAS DEVELOPED. HE BUILT THE ROADS. HEY DID ALL OF THE PRESERVE AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN REQUIREMENTS? YOU PUT THE WEAPONS AND OPENS IN THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT. HE'S BEEN MAINTAINING THOSE AREAS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRESERVE AREA MANAGEMENT PLANS. SO WE'VE MET ALL THE MARTIN COUNTIES REQUIREMENTS. WE WENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS. AND THEN, OF COURSE TO THE RECESSION HIT AND. AND THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH UTILITIES AND INDIAN TOWN AND SO THE PROJECT IT STALL FOR FIRST FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS, FRANKLY, AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE EXCITED NOW THAT YOU GUYS HAVE TAKEN. LEADERSHIP ROLE. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT ICO. JINNAI WAS THE LAND PLANNER FOR E COGEN WHEN WE'RE PROPOSING THAT, AND IT WAS DEVASTATING FLOAT AT THE COUNTY DIDN'T APPROVE THAT PROJECT IS THAT WAS A GREAT PROJECT THAT WOULD HAVE BROUGHT A LOT OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. BUT YOU GUYS ARE DOING A TOUGH JOB AND AS FAR AS A STAFF IS CONCERNED, YOU KNOW, I'M HERE HERE PERSONALLY TO THINK. STAFF FOR THE HARD WORK THEY'VE BEEN DOING TO MOVE THIS PROJECT FOR DURING THIS TRANSITION PERIOD BECAUSE A LOT OF THIS HAPPENED WHILE YOU WERE ADOPTING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, SO WE HAD TO WORK BACKWARDS AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS CONSISTENT WITH YOUR. WITH YOUR LAND USE PLAN AND ALSO YOUR LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, AND ONE OF THE MAJOR CHANGES THAT WE MADE HERE WAS THE COUNTY HAD PREVIOUSLY REQUIRED THAT WE TIE INTO WATER AND SEWER WHEN THE. UTILITIES WERE WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OF THE NUMBER 150 FT. I'M SORRY. WELL, THEN WE CHANGE THAT AT THE REQUEST OF STAFF TO A QUARTER

[02:20:02]

BEING TOGETHER PLANS FOR FOUR MORE LIGHT OR THROUGH THREE LATTES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD, NEXT TO THE LAKE FOR AN 80,000 SQUARE FOOT INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDING. THAT'S GOING TO HOUSE HIS HEY, HAS A TRUST COMPANY. SO HE'S SO THAT WILL BE HIS PARTICULAR BUILDING AND THAT'S GONNA BE MOVING FORWARD RATHER QUICKLY TO. HE WANTS TO GET THAT IN THE GROUND, SO. THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE HERE ARE ENTIRELY. DONE TO MAKE IT FIT THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWNS REQUIREMENTS. YOU KNOW, WE DID AN X 55 ACRES. I THINK THAT THE REZONING IS THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA. AND THAT'S WHERE THE ACTUAL LAKE IS LOCATED. AND THERE'S ANOTHER.

THERE'S A LOT THERE. BUT MOST THAT AREA'S PRESERVE AREA AND LAKE AND WE DIDN'T NOTIFY EVERYBODY WITHIN 500 FT OF THE PROPERTY AND I'VE TALKED T O THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS. THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING. NO ONE'S OBJECTING AND, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU GUYS. AND YOU KNOW, MOVING THESE ECONOMIC PROJECTS FORWARD. AND YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO EXTEND OUR HELP TO STAFF AS YOU GUYS TRANSITION AND WE'LL DO WHATEVER WE CAN T O MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR YOU GUYS IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. AND PROBABLY JUST TO CLARIFY TO THE. WHO ARE ATTENDEES? THE REASON WHY I ASK IS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE'S. A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE ARE STEERING AWAY FROM SUBJECT. UM SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I REALLY THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S. IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEING DONE ALL OVER THE STATE. AND I DO SEE THERE IS. SO DO I HAVE EMOTION? SO MOVE FOR APPROVAL. COUNCILMAN DOWLING HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. YOU WILL HAVE A SECOND. OKAY? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT. YES, MADAM AREA.

MISS PERRY, IF YOU WOULD UNUSUAL, MIKE GO AHEAD AND SPEAK. HI MARJORIE BERRY. I WAS AT ZONING MEETING WHERE THE ADVENTURE PART OF FOLKS SPOKE. ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS THAT THEY HAVE A DESIRE. TO KEEP THE PUMPKIN THAT LAKE. THE GENTLEMAN TOLD US THAT THE ZONING BOARD MEETING. THAT IT WAS A GREAT EXPENSE THAT THEY WERE PUTTING THAT PUMP INTO THAT LAKE SO THEY COULD USE IT FOR FIRE PROTECTION. AND IT WAS THEIR DESIRE. NOT AN OPTION, BUT IT WAS THEIR DESIRE THAT THEY WANTED TO KEEP THAT PUMP FOR FIRE PROTECTION RATHER THAN CONNECTING TO THE VILLAGE SUPPLIES. AS THE GENTLEMAN SAID, THE POTABLE WATER SYSTEM.

FIGHT FOR FIRE PROTECTION. MY CONCERN IS THAT THAT'S A PRESERVE AREA. I'M NOT SURE WHAT STATUS THAT LIKE BIRDS. BUT HAS ANYBODY CONSIDERED THAT WE HAVE. WATER LEVELS RISE AND FALL DEPENDING ON THE OCCASION OF THE YEAR, YOU KNOW. SO COME DECEMBER JANUARY. ARE THEY GONNA HAVE ENOUGH WATER IF THERE'S A FIRE? THE TYPICAL WILDFIRE SEASON IS THAT. HERE.

ARE THEY GONNA PUT WATER IN THAT LIKE TO PROVIDE FOR FIRE PROTECTION. AND ALSO HAS ANYBODY TALKED TO THE FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. AREN'T THEY? THE ONES THAT DEAL

[02:25:03]

HOPE THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION. MRS BILL WITH THIS IS BUILT WITH PUBLIC WORKS MIGHT ADD TO THAT. WHEN PUBLIC POTABLE WATER IS AVAILABLE IN THE SYSTEM IS LOOPED OUT THERE. THE FIRE PROTECTION WOULD HAVE TO COME OVER TO THAT SYSTEM IS WELL. THE POTABLE IN THE FIREWORK OFF THE SAME MAINS. SO ONCE EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED AND LOOPED FOR POTABLE, THE FIRE WOULD COME OVER BY DEFAULT AT THAT POINT. ASSUMING THAT WE HAVE ADEQUATE FIRE FLOW AVAILABLE IN OUR LINES AT THAT POINT IN TIME. ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. ANOTHER WORD. I'M SORRY. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ENERGIZE THE HYDRANTS FROM THE LAKE. AT THAT POINT, WE WOULD HAVE A CROSS CONNECTION ISSUE. THEY WOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE POTABLE WATER SERVICE OF THAT POINT. SURE, SO BY DEFAULT, WE WOULD SIMPLY INCREDIBLE WAR.

THAT'S FINE. I UNDERSTAND. ABSOLUTELY. ROLL CALL, PLEASE. COUNTS. REMEMBER, DARLING, I COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS HI. COUNTS REMEMBERED DOWN. YES. VICE MAYOR CLARKE. YES. MAYOR HERNANDEZ. YES. DISCUSSION ITEMS. MR VILLAGE MANAGER ITEM NUMBER 16, PLEASE. LOOK, WE HAVE TO ANOTHER ITEM. WE HAVE ANOTHER ITEM RELATED THAT THIS NUMBER 15. I'M AHEAD OF MYSELF.
