[00:05:02]
SECRETARY. I COVER THE FIVE COUNTIES FROM BROWARD, PALM BEACH, MARTIN, ST LUCIE AND INDIAN RIVER. CLARITY MARTIN COUNTIES VALUE OF THE BIGGEST INTEREST TO YOU, BUT WHAT I WANT TO DO IS GIVE YOU A BIT OF AN IDEA OF THE GOP IS THE HOLE. ON ON HOWARD STRUCTURED. I GET SOME FEEDBACK. HOPEFULLY YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT. SORE CHARGED. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE ABLE TO READ THIS. THE POINT IS, IT STARTS WITH THE GOVERNOR, THE SECRETARY OF THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION REPORTS TO THE GOVERNOR ON THEN BURIED DOWN HERE IS DISTRICT FOUR. WHICH REPORTS TO THE GOVERNOR AND WOULD HE HAVE. SEVEN GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT LABELED ONE TRUE SEVEN ON THE LITTLE OUR APPEARS TALLAHASSEE. YEAH. DISTRICT FOR FORT LAUDERDALE. SO TAKE IT OFF GROUP OF PEOPLE. UH, ONE IS YOU'RE MOST INTERESTED IN THE DISTRICT FOUR. SO IT'S MYSELF. I'M I'VE DIVIDED UP INTO TREE MAJOR AREAS. EVERYTHING PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION. IS UNDER STEVE BRAUN, OUR DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT.EVERYTHING. CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS IS PAUL LAMPLEY, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS. AND THEN I SUPPORT MANAGER MANAGERS. YOU KNOW THE PERSONNEL SIDE OF THE BUSINESS PAYING THE BILLS. TYPE OF THING, HIRING CONSULTANTS AND THAT'S ROSLYN. I HAVE A LEASH.
TONALITY ACTS AS MY I'M IN ASSISTANCE, SO A LOT OF YOU IF YOU CALL IT, SHE MIGHT BE THE ONE WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE. SHE'S ALSO OUR GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS LIAISON, AND I WILL HANDLE A LOT OF THAT FOR ME AS WELL. THEN WE HAVE A COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER. YOU'RE A MOPE IN EDO, BILLY. WE CALL THEM SO THAT'S KIND OF THE CORE PEOPLE WHO REPORT TO ME. MAYBE LET ME GO BACK HERE AND TELL YOU THAT I REPORT TO THE SECRETARY IN TALLAHASSEE, BUT WE ARE DECENTRALIZED AGENCY. SO HOW HOSPITAL SETS POLICY THAT TYPE OF THING, AND THEN THE DECISION MAKING HAPPENED DOWN AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL. SO TRANSPORTATION FOR BIG FROM THE BIG PICTURE PERSPECTIVE. THERE'S A FLORIDA TRANSPORTATION PLAN, WHICH GOVERNS THE ENTIRETY OF FLORIDA. IT'S NOT JUST THE BOT. IT'S ALL THE COUNTIES IN THE CITIES. SO PLAN FOR ALL OF FLORIDA. IT'S ACTUALLY JUST BEING DEVELOPED FAIRLY RECENTLY. OR SORRY, I SHOULD SAY UPDATED. COVERS MAJOR AREAS. IT HAS A VISION ELEMENT, THE POLICY ELEMENTS IMPLEMENTATION PERFORMANCE. THE AREAS THAT FOCUSING ON IT LOOKING AT A VISION OVER 25 YEARS, SO THIS IS A BIG PICTURE PLAN FOR THE STATE. AND IT'S FOCUSED ON SAFETY AND SECURITY.
INFRASTRUCTURE MOBILITY, ACCESSIBILITY, THE ECONOMY, THE COMMUNITIES AND THE ENVIRONMENT. HAD SET GOALS ABOUT WHERE WE ARE TODAY AND WHERE WE WANT TO GET TO HOW WE WANT TO IMPROVE. IT ALSO HAS A SEVERAL MEASURES THAT IDENTIFIES FOR HOW WE SHOULD IDENTIFY IF WE ARE IMPROVING OR NOT. THIS FORMS THE BASIS OF WHAT? EACH DISTRICT IN THE DEITY WORKS ON. SO THAT'S OUR OVERARCHING GUIDANCE IS THE FLORIDA TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
WHAT YOUR BODY MORE FAMILIAR ABOUT HEARING IS OUR WORK PROBLEM. AND OUR WORK PROBLEM IS THE LIST OF PROJECTS. AT THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT. TRANSPORTATION IS WORKING ON ANY GIVEN TIME. I CANNOT WORK ON SOMETHING UNLESS IT'S IN THE WORK PROGRAM. SO THE KEY TO THE D A TV IN THE PROJECT IS TO GET IT, INCLUDING THE WORK PROGRAM. AND THE WORK PROGRAM. COVERS FIVE YEARS. YEAH. SO LET ME JUST PUT THIS IN SLIDE MOST. SO YOU ACTUALLY SEE THIS A LITTLE BIT BETTER. IT WON'T LET ME THAT'S OKAY. SO FIVE YEARS. WAY IT'S IDEALLY MEANT TO WORK AND IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. IDEALLY I SUPPOSE STUFF TO WHY THINGS ARE BUT THE PRIORITIES GO IN THE FIFTH YEAR. SO. SO WE HAVE A STABLE WORK PROGRAM. IDEALLY WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IN YOUR ONE TRUE FOR THE NEW 50 YEAR GETS PRIORITIES AT IT INTO IT. SO THESE COME FROM THE M P O SAID TO COME FROM THEO TEASE. VARIOUS PROGRAMS THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS DETERMINED TO GET OUT IN THE FIFTH YEAR ON BEN, WE FINISHED YEAR, ONE YEAR TO THE COMPUTER ONE. YOUR TRAINING COMES HERE TO IT. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT EASILY, THOUGH, BECAUSE CONTEST MISS CHANGED PRIORITIES CHANGE. BUT IDEALLY, IT WORKS LIKE THIS. MP OWES ARE A POWERFUL
[00:10:03]
ORGANIZATION. THEY HELPED SET THE PRIORITIES FOR WHAT DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WORKS ON. IN MARTIN COUNTY. DOES THE MARTIN COUNTY MPL, SO EACH OF THE FIVE COUNTIES I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING IMPERIAL YEAH. THE MPS HAVE A LONG RANGE PLAN. YOU'LL HEAR THEM REFER TO IT IS THE LORD T. P SO IT LOOKS OUT 20 YEARS THEY UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS. PROJECTS HAVE TO BE IN THAT FOR DUTY TO WORK ON THEM, SO THEY HAVE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE WRONG WAY PLAN.GEAR THE MPL GIVES THE DEPARTMENT A LIST OF THEIR PRIORITY PROJECTS. SO MARTIN COUNTY WILL GIVE THE DEPARTMENT EVERYBODY HERE. THESE ARE THE PRIORITIES. WE WANT YOU TO WORK ON THE OT. THIS IS AN AREA THAT YOU NEED TO BE ON. YOU ARE AWARE OF IT. THIS IS HOW YOU WILL ULTIMATELY GET PROJECTS ARE ONE OF THE MAIN WAYS YOU COULD GET PROJECTS INTO OUR WORK PROGRAM. YOU GET IT INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF PRIORITY PROJECTS. IT GOES TO THE MARTIN COUNTY MPL. IT COMES TO THE D O T. AND THEN WE LOOK TO PROGRAM THAT WITH AVAILABLE FUNDS. YOU COULD LOOK AT THE WORK PROGRAM IN FIVE YEARS, SO EACH YEAR WE WANT TO WORK ON IT. BUT IT'S ALSO A CYCLE THAT RUNS EVERY SINGLE YEAR. I DON'T WANT TO BORE YOU WITH THIS, BUT THE MAIN POINT HERE IS IT'S CYCLICAL BY MONTH. DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES AIR HAPPENING EACH MONTH. WE WORK WITH THE MP ALWAYS GET THE PRIORITY LIST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR WILL COME UP IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. WE THEN LOOKED THE PROGRAM THOSE PROJECTS THAT GIVE THE WORK PROBLEMS OF THE LEGISLATURE SO THEY COULD APPROVE IT ON THIS CYCLE HAPPENS EVERY YEAR. THAT'S A VERY MUCH A READER'S DIGEST VERSION OF OUR WORK PROGRAM.
PROJECT IN OUR PROGRAM. WE LOOK AT THEM FROM OUR PRIORITIES PERSPECTIVE. SO THE FIRST THING WE WILL ALWAYS FOCUS ON THE SAFETY PROJECT. WE HAVE SOME DEDICATED AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT WILL JUST GO AND SAFETY. I'M NOT ALWAYS BE HELD INTACT AND WE WILL PRIORITIZE. MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY PROJECTS WITH THOSE FUNDS. THE NEXT THING WE LIKE TO DO IT. IT'S A GREAT IDEA. ALTHOUGH IT IS IT'S REQUIRED BY AN EIGHT BY LAW. WE PRESERVE WHAT WE HAVE. SO WE DO OUR MAINTENANCE OFF THE ROAD SYSTEMS. THE BRIDGES WE HAVE WE RESURFACE THE ROADWAYS THAT WE HAVE. SO. THIS DOESN'T GO THROUGH THE NPR PROCESS. WE WAITED. LOOK AT WHAT PROJECT WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN. NOT RELEVANT ADRI SERVICE AND WE RANK THEM. SO A LOT OF THE PROJECT YOU'LL SEE IN YOUR AREA COME OUT OF THIS. THEY COULD BE A MAINTENANCE JOB ARE RESURFACING JOB. WHEN WE HAD THOSE TWO ARE PROGRAM, THEY'RE IN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR LOOK AT THE PROJECT AND STAY ISSUES ON THAT ROAD WAYS. LET'S MAKE SURE YOU TRY AND ADDRESS THOSE. OR MAYBE YOU HAVE UTILITIES ON THAT ROADWAY AND YOU SAY, LET'S LET'S LOOK TO WORK TOGETHER TO IMPROVE THOSE, SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO OUR WORK. ONLY THERE, OBVIOUSLY AND HAVING YOUR STOCK. GET COPIES OF IT TO SEE WHAT RESEARCH THING MIGHT BE ABLE TO MIGHT BE COMING UP IN YOUR AREA SO YOU COULD PIGGYBACK ON SOME OF THOSE JOBS IF YOU WANT TO.
YOU'RE THE LAST PART WITH PROBLEMS CAPACITY PROJECTS TO THE OTHER PROGRAMS. AND THE CAPACITY PROJECT OUR PRIORITIES FROM THE MPL, BUT IT COULD BE PROJECTS ON THE STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM. DIFFUSING OF THEIR MODEL SYSTEM IS. BORDEN'S SYSTEM IN THE STATE. IT MOVED THE MOST PEOPLE AND GOODS CREATED BY THE LEGISLATURE IN 2003. IT'S PRIORITIZED IN THE STATEWIDE BASIS. THE DISTRICT WILL HAVE OUR LOCAL PRIORITIES, BUT WE WILL COMPETE WITH OTHER DISTRICTS FOR FUNDING IN THAT SYSTEM. NOW. FOCUSES ON REGIONAL PROJECTS LARGE PROJECT IN FACT, BUT IT ALSO GETS THE LION'S SHARE OF THE MONEY. SO FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE, I JUST PUT IT HERE, STAY WROTE. 17 IS ON THE STRATEGIC IN YOUR BOTTLES. SO THAT OPENS THAT ROAD UP TO QUALIFYING FOR THAT TYPE OF FUNDING. WHICH IS PRETTY IMPORTANT. I'M GOING TO JUST STEP THROUGH THE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT EXISTS. WHAT THE LEGISLATURE OF CREATED ON. JUST TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE YOU FIT IN THAT PICTURE. YEAH. SO. STATEWIDE PROGRAM IS ALSO THE TRANSPORTATION REGIONAL INCENTIVE PROJECT PROGRAM. SO THEY'RE CALLED TRIPPED PHONES. YEAH. PROJECT HAS TO BE RELATED THESE REALLY SIGNIFICANT. COULD BE IN YOUR CASE, THEY'RE PROGRAMMED BY THE TREASURE COAST TRANSPORTATION COUNSEL. AND MARTIN COUNTY IS A PART OF THAT THE MARTIN COUNTY MPO. SO YOU HAVE A SEAT AT THAT TABLE, SO TO SPEAK. THIS LITTLE MAP IS THE ROAD DELIGHTED THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THAT SOURCE OF FUNDING. AND IT'S LIKE GUSTAF,
[00:15:06]
THOSE. AND THEY'RE PROGRAMMED EACH YEAR BY AD TREASURED CAST COAST TRANSPORTATION COUNSEL.SO SO THAT'S ONE AREA OF FUNDING. ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT EXISTS IS THE CAST OF THE PROGRAM. THIS EXISTS COUNTED CITIES WHAT RESOURCES TO HELP. ROSE THAT RELIEVED THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM. SO. HARDER IF YOU'D OFF THIS ONE, BUT YOU'LL SEE THIS FOR A COUNTY ROAD PARALLELS OF STATE ROAD. ON THE STATE. THE COUNTY ROAD, IF IMPROVED, COULD HELP PROVIDE RELIEF FOR TRAFFIC FROM THE STATE ROAD. AND HER PROJECT YOU SEE HERE, THERE'S NO PROJECTS FROM THAT WITH THIS CATEGORY IN THE IN THE WESTERN PART OFF AND MARTIN COUNTY. SO THIS IS THE PROGRAM. YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE SMALL COUNTY OUTREACH PROGRAM. SMALLER COUNTIES DISTRICT FOR MARTIN AND INDIAN RIVER QUALIFIED AND IT PROVIDES FINANCIAL RESOURCE IS A LOT OF IT'S USED TO RESURFACE ROADWAYS. IT MUST BE A COUNTY ROAD ON THERE HAS TO BE A 25% LOCAL CONTRIBUTION. SO THERE ARE SOME OF THE PROJECTS IN THE AREA UNDER WITH DOCTOR ACTUALLY TO SHOW YOU ON THE MAP, NOT ON THE SECOND. THIS IS ANOTHER SOURCE OF FUNDING A SMALL CAMP EACH PROBLEM. AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY. I DON'T KNOW. I JUST PICTURE OUT OF THIS. A FEW YEARS AGO. ASSIST SMALLER CITIES AND IN DISTRICT FOUR. THAT'S BELLE GLADE, THE WHOLE KEY IN SOUTH BAY. I'M NOT AWARE THAT THE VILLAGE HAS RECEIVED THIS DESIGNATION. NO LOCAL CONTRIBUTION OF NECESSARY IF IT COMES WITH A SMALLER AMOUNT OF FUNDS. IT'S COVERED UNDER THIS STATUTE, SO THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING WORTH LOOKING INTO FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE. THAT SPECIFIC THE AIR TOWARDS SMALLER AREAS. UH I THOUGHT THEY ALREADY QUALIFIED. HE'S ALSO STATE APPROPRIATIONS, WHICH YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH, SO THE STANDARD SPEECH FROM D O. T IS WE DON'T LIKE PEOPLE PURSUING APPROPRIATIONS BECAUSE THEY BYPASSED THE PROCESS.
NOTWITHSTANDING THAT THE VAST MAJORITY THAT. TO HAPPEN ARE VETOES, BUT SOME OF THEM ARE SUCCESSFUL AND MOVED THROUGH THE SYSTEM. AND I BELIEVE YOU'VE HAD THOSE IN THE PAST.
YEAH. WHEN THEY HAPPEN, AND I EXPOSED TO BE COMING UP SOON, THEY COME TO THE DEPARTMENT WERE ASKED ALREADY IN THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. DID THEY FOLLOW THE PROCESS? WE ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. AND THEN THE. UH THE GOVERNOR OR THE LEGISLATURE MAKE THE DECISIONS BASED ON THAT. BUT I KNOW YOU'VE HAD SUCCESS IN THIS IN THE PAST. SO I RAN THROUGH ALL THAT REAL QUICKLY, BUT I DID WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE PROJECTS IN THE AIR AROUND, BUT YOU'RE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH. THIS IS UPCOMING PROJECTS THESE AIR MOSTLY EITHER RESURFACING ARE THE RGB COLOR. SO. SO THESE ROADS ARE IN OUR FIVE YEAR PROBLEM TO BE RESURFACED AT ALONG THE LAKE, AND I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU PROJECTS IN THE REGION. HAVE. AND THEN THERE ARE STILL SOME PLANNING STUDIES ALONG 7 10 HERE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AT THIS IS THE PRELIMINARIES STUDIES WE WOULD DO GATHERING TRAFFIC INFORMATION AND DATA. I'M LOOKING AT WHAT IMPROVEMENTS MIGHT BE NEEDED IN THESE AREAS. WHAT. THERE IS A COUPLE OF PROJECTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. SO RIGHT HERE IN TOWN, YOU KNOW I SKIPPED BY WE DO HAVE THIS SMALL LITTLE GREEN PROJECT, WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE TURN LANE THAT'S BEEN IMPROVED IN THE WESTERN AREA THERE. I AM. BUT ANYWAY, I DIDN'T WANT TO GET INTO A BIG DETAIL ON EACH INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS AS OPPOSED TO GIVE YOU A FLAVOR OFF WHAT IT IS THE DEPARTMENT DOORS.
YEAH, I THINK IT'D BE A GOOD IDEA AFTER THIS THAT I GET SOME OF MY KEY STOP. GO OVER WITH THE CITY. SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS IN A BIT MORE DETAIL. MAKE SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF THEM ALL I'M WATCHING TO QUALIFY FOR I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS GOING ON. WE HAVE.
PROGRAMS THAT WERE APPROVED FOR EITHER YOU KNOW, THEY'RE COMING UP SOON. I KNOW WE HELP SUBSIDIZE SOME OF THE TRANSIT IN THE CITY ARE INDIVIDUALLY SORRY. SO, SO THEY'RE ALSO PROGRAMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THAT WE COULD GET INTO A MUCH BIGGER DETAIL. SO I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME JUST TO INTRODUCE MYSELF, CONGRATULATE YOU ON BECOMING HIS VILLAGE. OUR OLD RUNS RIGHT THROUGH YOU. SO FROM A PERMANENT PERSPECTIVE, I KNOW THERE'S SOME BIG INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS COMING UP THAT WILL WORK CLOSELY ON AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN MAKE B IS GOOD AS THEY CAN BE FOR YOU, TOO. AND FOR THE DEPARTMENT SO ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. I'LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER. DOES THE COUNSEL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MR
[00:20:02]
JERRY. YES JUST GIVE HIM THE COUNCIL. SECRETARY O'REILLY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. I'M HAPPY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. AS YOU KNOW, I SIT ON THE MPO BOARD AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE. HAVE DISCOVERED SINCE WE HAVE BECAME A MUNICIPALITY. IS THAT GETTING PROJECTS ON THE TIP? AND WE GOT EXTREMELY LUCKY LAST YEAR WITH GETTING THE SECURITY TO THE $2 MILLION FOR THE ROADS AND DRAINAGE IN THE BIGGER PART COMMUNITY. AND I WANTED TO ASK, UM, SO HOW CAN WE GET PROJECTS? UM. ON THE TIP OR USE OTHER ALTERNATIVES SO THAT WE CAN GET FUNDING FOR THOSE THOSE CRITICAL NEEDS HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THAT'S THE FIRST QUESTION. SO THE KEY TO THE STRIP IN THE TIP FOR YOU. IT IS TRUE THAT MPL PROCESS. SO THAT YOU'RE BRINGING YOUR NEEDS TO THEM THAT THEY'RE REQUIRED TO PRESENT THEIR NEEDS TO THE DEPARTMENT BUT PART OF THEM DOING THEIR WORK IT TO COORDINATE WITH ALL THE MUNICIPALITIES AND THE AREAS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL FUNDING. SO I CAN GIVE YOU MORE DETAIL ON THAT PROCESS TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE DOING IT AND MAYBE IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE THAT I SET UP A MEETING COMMISSIONER WITH OUR PLANNING STUFF TO MAKE SURE. YORKIE PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF HOW THE BEST IDENTIFY THOSE PROJECTS. I THINK THIS OTHER PROGRAM THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER. YOU KNOW, THE BELLE GLADE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR AND SOME OF THE OTHER LOCALS. I THINK THAT'S WELL WORTH LOOKING INTO. HOW WOULD YOU BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR THAT AS WELL? BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF A SET ASIDE. IT'S ON LEE FOR SMALLER AREAS. AND IT DOESN'T REQUIRE A MATCH.SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, IT'S IDEAL. UH, WHAT. THROUGH THE EMPTY OLD PROCESS GETS YOU INTO THAT TIP AND STEP. AWESOME. THANK YOU. AND I NOTICED THAT YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THE COUNTY COUNTY INCIDENT GRANT PROGRAM WITH THAT. CAN WE GET SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON ALL OF THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU MENTIONED TODAY? AND IF WE COULD ALSO GET A COPY OF THE.
PRESENTATION BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A WEALTH OF INFORMATION THAT WE CAN NOT ONLY SHARE WITH ARE HERE THE VILLAGE BUT WITH THE RESIDENTS, TOC SHOW THEM BASICALLY WHAT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE YOU KNOW THESE PROJECTS CAN TAKE UP TO 25 YEARS. IN THE MAKING, BUT WE DON'T GET A REACTION UNTIL THEY SEE CONSTRUCTION. SO, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE HERE, THE VILLAGES TRY TO BRING BRAIN THE RESIDENTS WITH US SINCE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS NEW ON DSA, SO THAT INFORMATION WOULD DEFINITELY ASSIST IN SHARING WITH THAT WITH THE RESIDENTS, SO THANK YOU AGAIN. FOR COMING AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS GETTING GETTING THIS PRESENTATION. DOES ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBER HAVE A QUESTION? AND MR JERRY, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I KNOW. VICE MAYOR CLARKE JUST RAISED HER HAND GO, VICE MAYOR CLARKE. I WANTED TO PICK IT BACK OR QUESTION THAT COUNCILMAN DOWN AND ACT ABOUT THOSE DOLLARS NOW ARE DO WE HAVE TO BE ALL RIGHT IN ORDER TO APPLY FOR THESE STUDENTS THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT THAT'S AVAILABLE. SO MOST OF THE FUNDS I TALKED ABOUT FLOW TRUE, THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION, THE MARTIN COUNTY MPO ON DAZ, THE COMMISSIONER SAID YOU YOU HAVE TO GET INTO THAT. Q. SO TO SPEAK. AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO GET ON THEIR PRIORITY LIST OF PROJECTS YOU GET ON THAT LIST. THAT IN TURN ALLOWS THE FUNDS WE CONTROL FLOW ON THE PROJECT. BUT SOME OF THOSE PROGRAMS I WENT THROUGH WORK SEPARATELY.
OKAY ON GO. I WILL DEFINITELY GET WHAT YOUR STAFF. WE HAVE A REALLY NICE BOOKLET. THAT EXPLAINS ALL THIS, BUT WE'LL ALSO SET UP A MEETING AND GO OVER IT WITH STAFF LEVEL FOLKS.
SO THEY'RE AWARE AND GIVE THEM A COPY OF THIS PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND MY QUESTION FOR US. I KNOW WE'VE ALREADY HAD F D O T STUDIES AND REGARDS OF 7 10, BUT I KEEP ON SEEING AN INCREASE OF. OF TRAFFIC, AND I ALWAYS GET THE SAME QUESTION FROM UNION WOULD AND ANYONE ELSE LIKE ON MARTIN LUTHER KING JR BOULEVARD AND OTHER AREAS THAT YOU CAN'T REALLY GET, ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK HOURS. IT'S SO HARD TO GET ONTO 7 10.
I PERSONALLY GO THROUGH THE ONE SINGLE LIGHT SO I DON'T GET REAR ENDED. UM. BUT YOU KNOW
[00:25:05]
OTHER PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION LIKE ANYONE WOULD AND SO THEIR CONCERNS OFF INCREASED TRAFFIC AND POSSIBILITY OF TRYING TO GET SOMETHING WHERE YOU KNOW THEY CAN GET A LIGHT SOMEWHERE. AT LEAST BY ALLAH, PATA. SO I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME DEVELOPMENT COMING UP IN THE AREA. AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT TRAFFIC AND HOW THEY'LL DO THAT TRAFFIC STUDY AS WELL AS LOOKING AT HER OWN TRAFFIC STUDY ALONG THAT STRETCH TO SEE WHAT FUTURE PROJECTS ARE NEEDED. OH SO THEY'RE POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES AT THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT 17 IS IT'S A STATE ROAD.KIND OF ELIGIBLE FOR THESE TYPE OF FUNDING. I CAN GO NOT TO TAKE UP YOUR MEETING NOW, BUT WE'LL GO OVER WITH THE STAFF ON HOW THEY SHOULD APPROACHED US REGARDING A SIGNAL, FOR INSTANCE, OR IF YOU SEE A SAFETY PROBLEM, ONDRA WHAT WE COULD DO TO HELP YOU WITH.
PLEASE SEE THAT IF YOU BRING IT TO OUR ATTENTION. BECAUSE REGULARLY WHILE WE MIGHT BE STUDYING THE ACCIDENT HISTORIES AND CRASHED DATABASE, I'VE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT DO THAT AS A FULL TIME JOB. YOU MAY BE AWARE OF THINGS THAT WERE BROUGHT TO THE COMMISSION'S ATTENTION OR BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT YOU CONSENT TO ME. SEND TO LEO. I'LL SEND YOU THE DETAILS ON THEN WE WILL LOOK INTO THAT ON YOUR BEHALF. BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES YOU'LL GET BACK QUICKER THAN WE WOULD. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH BECAUSE I HAD RECENTLY I HAD ANYONE RESIDENT TOLD ME THAT SHE SAT THERE FOR PROBABLY 15 MINUTES AND SHE TIMED IT TRYING TO GET INTO TRAFFIC GOING TO THE LEFT, AND SHE COULDN'T BECAUSE THERE WAS TRAFFIC ON BOTH LANES. AND SO IT'S A HASSLE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE. ELDERLY POPULATION TO IF I'M SCARED OF TRYING TO GET INTO LIKE HEAVY TRAFFIC, I IMAGINE THEM. UM AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S UH I THINK SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE I WANTED A ASK A QUESTION. JUST. STATE YOUR NAME, YOUR ADDRESS, AND. MY NAME IS LYNN GUTTERMAN. I LIVE OUT IN CLEMENTS FAILED. I'VE BEEN THERE FOR 23 YEARS. I'M INTERESTED TO KNOW WHEN 7 10 IS GOING TO BE MADE AT LEAST FOUR LANES. YOU KNOW, LIKE HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE OUT THERE BEFORE? THAT ROAD GETS WIDENED. SO I KNOW THERE IS NO PROJECT FUNDED RIGHT NOW TO WIDEN THE ROAD WEST OF THE FOUR LANDS SECTION RIGHT NOW. BUT I KNOW WE'RE STARTING A PROJECT NEXT YEAR THAT THAT'S THE KICKOFF TO DO ALL THE TRAFFIC STUDIES TO LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS. WHAT DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO BE IN THE AREA AND SEE AT WHAT STAGE WIDENING THE ROAD IS WARRANTED FROM CAPACITY POINT OF VIEW. I'LL GET THE DETAILS OF THAT STUDY WHEN IT STARTS IN THAT TO THE CITY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR JERRY.
I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S ANY COVERT UPDATE CURRENTLY. ARE THERE IS MADAM CLERK. THANK YOU, SECRETARY. OKAY THAT'S THAT'S GONNA SAY LET'S THANK THE SECRETARY OR RALLY FOR COMING.
I KNOW YOU'RE VERY BUSY, SIR. AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING AND SHEDDING LIGHT ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN INDIAN TOWN SPECIFICALLY. IF THAT'S RESPONSIBILITIES. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. BUT BUT. HERE FOR THE COVERT UPDATE. I JUST WANTED TO

[PUBLIC COMMENT]
IN THE PUBLIC COMMENTS SECTION THE PUBLIC IS INVITED FOR COMMENT FOR UP TO THREE MINUTES[00:30:03]
ON ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA. I KNOW WE HAVE AN EMAIL. MAY YOU PLEASE READ THOSE FIRST AND THEN WE'LL GO TO, UM, THE PHYSICAL. THE FIRST ONE IS TO THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN COUNCIL STAFF AND ZONING AND PLANNING BOARD. I DO GREATLY APPRECIATE YOU AND ALL OF YOUR EFFORT AND I THANK YOU. I RECOGNIZE YOUR DILIGENCE AND CONCERNS TO DEVELOP AND IMPROVE INDIAN TOWN. AND I AGREE WITH THAT. I KNOW YOU SEE THE UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE OF INDIAN TOWN AND APPRECIATE IT. THEREFORE I AM ASKING YOU TO PROTECT THE 55 ACRE. OKAY MICK, BETWEEN SOUTHWEST FAMILY AVENUE AND FERNWOOD FORCE ROAD. HOW CAN WE SAVE THIS PRICELESS INDIAN TOWN RESOURCE AND STILL DEVELOP AND GROW THIS PRIME PROPERTY? I SUGGEST THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN LIMITS THE DEVELOPMENT TO NO MORE THAN 50 HOMES ON THIS 55 ACRE PARCEL AND INCLUDE A WALK TO WATER ACCESS PIER AND WOODED PART ON THE ST LUCIE CANAL. AS WELL AS ONE OR TWO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AREAS WITH A NATURE WALK. THEN LIMIT THE LAND CLEARING AND RESTRICTIONS TO SAVE THE GRAND OAKS AND LIMIT THE TREES CLEARING ON THE INDIVIDUALLY OWNED 1.5 ACRE. ONE PLUS ACRE SIZE LOTS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE VILLAGE. THIS WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. IT WILL ALSO PRESERVE THE SPECTACULAR OAK HAMMOCK THAT IS HOME TO DIVERS WHILE BY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO APPRECIATE. OUR TOWN HAS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND MAINTAIN THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR SMALL COUNTRY TOWN THAT WE ALL LOVE SO MUCH. THANKS JOHN J. P AND LEAH PASCOE. NEXT ONE IS I RECENTLY WAS MADE AWARE OF SOME FACTS WHICH ARE HIGHLY CONCERNING TO ME. I READ THE LETTER BY MR SCOTT WATSON WRITTEN BACK IN AUGUST OF 2020, REQUESTING A MEETING WITH THE VILLAGE STAFF AND CONSULTANT.ALLOW MORE TIME TO OPENLY DISCUSS ISSUES WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. THIS REQUEST WAS DENIED THE VILLAGE. APPROVED, LD ARE ACTUALLY. AND HE HAS A PARENT IS THESE STRIPS EXISTING PROPERTY OWNERS OF THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS? THE NEW ZONING IS SO VAGUE, IT ALLOWS A FOUR APARTMENT COMPLEX BE BUILT IN A 1 TO 2 ACRE, SINGLE FAILING HOME NEIGHBORHOOD. AND DESTROY 55 ACRE WOODED HAMMETT TO BUILD ZERO LOT. LINE RENTAL HOST. OVERPRICED PROPERTY, THE VILLAGE PURCHASE TO BUILD ITS FUTURE VILLAGE HALL ON DOES NOT EVEN ALLOW. TO HAVE A GOVERNMENT BUILDING ON IT, ACCORDING TO THE NEW L D. R DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A LOT OF THOUGHT WENT INTO THIS DOCUMENT? I THINK NOT. NOW THE VILLAGE IS ACTUALLY CONSIDERING A VILLAGE FIRE DEPARTMENT. WHY ASK? WE ALREADY HAVE AN EXCELLENT FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH MARTIN COUNTY. YOU ARE WELL TRAINED AND HAVE EXCELLENT RESPONSE TIME. WHY FIX SOMETHING THAT'S NOT BROKEN? YOU THE VILLAGE COUNCIL ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE OF INDIAN TOWN. AND IT IS ABOUT TIME YOU START RESPONDING TO YOUR CONSTITUTES. AND NOT ADD TO SOMEONE'S PORTFOLIO. I AM NOT GETTING OVER THIS. AND WHEN ONE COUNCIL MEMBER SUGGEST THANK YOU NEVER, EVER. YES. THE INDIAN TOWN VILLAGE COUNCIL. I'M WRITING TO YOU ALL IN REGARDS TO YOUR UPCOMING DECISION CONCERNING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE MARTIN COUNTY FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES WITH THE CREATION OF AN OUTSIDE PROVIDER WITH SOME VOLUNTEER MANPOWER. I AM STRONGLY AGAINST THIS MOVE AT THIS TIME, I'LL TRY TO GIVE SOME OF MY REASONING. I WAS RAISED WITH A QUOTE. IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD NEGATIVE CRITICISM ABOUT THE SERVICES WE HAVE WITH MARTIN COUNTY. FAR FROM IT, WE COULD NOT IMPROVE ON THAT, NO MATTER WHAT THE COST. SPEAKING OF COSTS, THE FIGURES THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED. ONLY ONE VENDOR, I BELIEVE DO NOT INCLUDE ALL OF THE COSTS INVOLVED WITH SETTING UP OUR OWN DEPARTMENT, AND I DON'T BELIEVE THEY'RE GUARANTEED IS BEING LOCKED IN FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME. JUST THE ADDITIONAL COST OF LABOR UNION INSURANCE.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT GOES UP EACH YEAR. ADDITIONAL COSTS INVOLVED FOR EQUIPMENT AND HOUSING ARE ALSO NOT INCLUDED. OUR CURRENT COSTS ARE AT LEAST CONTROLLED SOMEWHAT BY THE TAXATION AND MILLET PROCESS AND SPREAD OUT OVER THE ENTIRE COUNTY. POSSIBILITY OF LOSING F P N L. OVER THE CHANGE IN SERVICES IS SOMETHING THAT OUGHT TO BE PARAMOUNT IN YOUR DECISION MAKING, CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT AFGHAN ELSE SUCH AN OVERWHELMING PERCENTAGE OF OUR TAX BASE LOSING THAT COULD CAUSE THE ENTIRE VILLAGE FINANCIAL SITUATION TO BE OVERTURNED. FUNERAL HAS BEEN A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND AN IMPORTANT PART OF INDIAN TOWN. NOT WHEN WE WANT TO LOSE. SEEN A LOT OF COMMITMENTS, BIG COMMITMENTS BEING MADE OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS. THE STREET PROJECTS WATER PLANT ACTUALIZATION PROPERTY PURCHASE FOR MUNICIPAL BUILDING. MARKS PURCHASED WITH MANY IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED. AND YET NONE OF THESE AIR COMPLETED.
I UNDERSTAND GRANTS ARE BEING APPLIED FOR. IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE EXPENSIVE WORK THAT
[00:35:01]
NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED AND PAID FOR. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LIVE AND WORK BY HIS HANDLE THIS THE SAME WAY YOU WOULD IF YOU WERE EATING AN ELEPHANT ONE BITE AT A TIME. I SEE YOU ALL DOING IS TRYING TO EAT IT ALL ONE TIME. INITIATE THE PROJECTS YOU'VE ALREADY TAKEN ON AND DO THEM. WELL THE ONLY THING THAT DOING THIS ALL IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WILL BENEFIT IS A SHORT TERM RESUME OF SOMEBODY WON'T PROBABLY BE AROUND. PICK UP THE PIECES WHEN WE COLLAPSE FROM THE WEIGHT OF ALL THE COMMITMENTS, THEY DON'T MAKE ENOUGH TIMES TO SETTLE THAT KIND OF INDIGESTION. PRAY THAT OUR CURRENT COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL START DOING THE JOB WE ELECTED THEM TO DO TO LEAD NOT TO FOLLOW BY DOING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GAIN THE SUPPORT OF THE INDIAN TOWN CITIZENS INSTEAD OF THE CRITICISM. BE PARAMOUNT IN YOUR MIND THAT WE MOVED OR REMAINED IN INDIAN TOWN FOR ITS RURAL AGRICULTURAL ATMOSPHERE. MOVED AWAY FROM THE URBAN AND CITY LIFE AND TRAFFIC. BUT NOW I SEE STEPS BEING MADE TO CITY FIRE OUR VILLAGE AND I MUST PROTEST. PLEASE GIVE THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION TO MY TWO CENTS WORTH. WHEN THE NIGHT COMES. WE HAVE LIVED IN FERNWOOD FORCE GOING ON 40 YEARS. WE KNEW THE MAN JOHN, WHO WOULD L, A CIVIL ENGINEER WHO DEVELOPED FROM WOOD. SUBDIVIDED IT PUT IN THE SWELLS AND DITCHES FOR DRAINAGE AND BUILD THE ROADS. WE BROUGHT THIS HOUSE. WE BOUGHT HIS HOUSE AND ENJOY HIS VISITS WHEN HE WOULD BE BACK IN THE AREA. THE WOODS BEHIND US WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTER FOR A COUNTRY CLUB COMMUNITY WITH THE CLUBHOUSE ADJACENT TO THE MARINA. WE WERE SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT A PROJECT CALLED RIVER OAKS IS BEING CONSIDERED. WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A RENTAL COMMUNITY OF HIGH DENSITY. SURELY THIS WOULD REQUIRE HIS OWN AND CHANGE. IT IS LITERALLY IN OUR BACKYARD AND WE ARE NOT NOTIFIED. SOME SAY OVER 150 RENTAL HOMES. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT MANY CARS COMING THROUGH OUR STREETS? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN COUNCIL? WE KNOW THAT THEY HAVE TIRED. TOO MANY PEOPLE AND ARE PAYING TOO HIGH SOURS. IN SHORT SPENDING MONEY AS IF THEY WERE WATER. I WONDER IF ANY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS EVEN OWNING HOME WITHIN THE VILLAGE. SEEMS LIKE THAT OUGHT TO BE A REQUIREMENT. HAVE SOME SKIN IN THE GAME. WE'RE PAYING THE TAXES THAT THEY ARE CREATING.WE'RE DISAPPOINTED TO SAY THE LEAST, WAS THE FOURTH IN INC AND NOW ARE WISHING TO SECEDE OR DISSOLVE THE VILLAGE OF THE NEWTOWN, RONNIE AND DONNIE HAD AWAY. THANK YOU AND ALSO, COUNCILMAN DARLING WANTED ME TO SAY, MAKING ANNOUNCEMENT THAT EVERYONE IF WE CAN ASK EVERYONE TO HAVE A FACE LAST GONE. UM. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE. LINDA IVORY. MA'AM. MAY YOU PLEASE HAVE A FACE MASK ON. WELL, THERE'S HAVING GOTTEN VACCINATED. THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE NOT GONE VACCINATED. THANK YOU. DESIREE. LINDA EVERY. LONG TIME. 60 PLUS YEARS RESIDENT OF ANY IN TOWN. MY REASON. FOR MAKING THIS COMMENT IS BECAUSE I'M VERY DISGUSTED WITH. A LOT OF THE FELLOW CITIZENS OF INDIAN TOWN BECAUSE I COME FROM A HUGE FAMILY.

MY CONCERNS ARE ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE 55 ACRES BEHIND US AND BASICALLY ALL OVER THE TOWN. I FEEL LIKE THE. DEVELOPMENT PLANS ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. YOU WERE TRYING TO PUT TOO MANY PEOPLE HERE. THEY DON'T THINK THE ROAD THEY'RE SET UP FOR IT. THE UTILITIES ARE NOT SET UP FOR IT. UM IT WAS OWN DIFFERENTLY UP UNTIL RECENTLY. NONE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD KNEW THAT THE ZONING WAS CHANGING.
WE DIDN'T GET TO VOTE ON IT. THAT'S MY PRIMARY CONCERN. I FEEL THAT THE MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE SHOULD STAY AS WELL. THANK YOU, MISS JESSICA. THANK YOU. MAKES PUBLIC COMMENT. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME ADDRESS. BONDS ABOUT JOE 28 98 HORSES AWAY FOUR PAIRS FLORA.
THERE'S A LONG TIME ANDY TAVAREZ AREA AND I KNOW ALL OF YOU HAVE GROWN UP HERE IN INDIAN TOWN. JUST FIRE RESCUE THING IS A DISASTER IS GONNA BE A DISASTER. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THE HEART ATTACK OUT THERE. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM TO COME. WE'VE GOT A GREAT GREAT FIRE DEPARTMENT FIRE RESCUE GROUP OUT HERE NOW TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY ON BUILDINGS. FIRE TALKS, FIRE EQUIPMENT. YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE EVERYTHING TOP. PUPPET ALIGN WITH YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T IMPROVISE BECAUSE THEN IT AFFECTS PEOPLE'S LIVES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU NEXT PUBLIC COMET. RIGHT? OKAY? YOU SPEAK, SAY YOUR NAME ADDRESS. MY NAME IS HOLLY GARRETT. I LIVE OFF OF FARMS ROAD HERE IN INDIAN TOWN. I KNOW THAT. MR HOWARD BROWN HAS KIND OF SUGGESTED TO ALL OF YOU GUYS THAT IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA FOR US TO HAVE OUR OWN FIRE RESCUE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO BRING TO THE COUNCIL'S KNOWLEDGE THAT I'M
[00:45:01]
NOT TOO SURE THAT YOU GUYS DO KNOW. FIRST OF ALL, I AM A NEIGHBOR TO FPL'S RIGHT THERE ON FARMS ROAD. THEY'VE MADE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT IF THEIR MILITARY GOES UP, THEY'RE DONE.THEY'RE GONE. THEY'VE MADE THAT CRYSTAL CLEAR. THINGS IN ORDER FOR US TO HAVE OUR OWN FIRE RESCUE. DID YOU GUYS KNOW THAT A TRUCK COST $800,000 THAT IS FOR ONE FIRE TRUCK. TO GET ONE OF THE SMALLER THE FOR THE PARAMEDICS. THOSE AIR $600,000 THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE MANPOWER THE BUILDING BECAUSE MARTIN COUNTY DID MAKE IT CLEAR. THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO DO OUR OWN FIRE RESCUE, THEN WE NEED TO GET OUR OWN LAND AND OUR OWN BUILDING AND OUR OWN EVERYTHING ELSE. SO NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT FP L'M A PULLOUT BECAUSE WE CAN'T SUSTAIN WITH THE TAXES THAT WE HAVE HERE. THE AMOUNT OF SPENDING THAT IS GOING ON IN THERE. MR BROWN REST RESPECTFULLY DOESN'T EVEN LIVE HERE. I KNOW. I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS DO WHETHER YOU RUN OR YOU DON'T. MY PARENTS LIVE IN INDIAN WOULD THEY'RE IN THEIR LATE SEVENTIES. GOD FORBID THEY HAD A HEART ATTACK IF WE HAD TO WAIT. MIKE'S MOM, SAME THING, AND I JUST DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE AWARE OF THE AMOUNT OF SPENDING THAT WILL NEED TO HAPPEN. IF WE DO THE OUR OWN FIRE RESCUE WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO OUR OWN AIR CHANNEL. WHICH OUR OWN AIR CHANNEL IS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE MONEY THAT WE NEED TO SPEND FOR THEIR SALARIES AND EVERYTHING ELSE. ANOTHER THING THAT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE AWARE OF, BUT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS A GREAT IDEAS WELL, AND THEY FIRED OKEECHOBEE COUNTY. THEY HAD THEM GO OUT BECAUSE THEY THEY THEY SAW THE NINE OR $10 MILLION AND THEY THOUGHT, WELL, LOOK, WE'RE RICH NINE OR $10 MILLION. WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING A FIRE RESCUE IS NOTHING JUST LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS. WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING A BUSINESS IS NOTHING. AND THE MONEY WENT SO FAST NOW THEY'RE BEGGING MARTIN COUNTY TO COME BACK IN WITH THEIR FIRE, RESCUE AND COME AND SAVE THEM. MEANWHILE THEY COSTED THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE. ALL THE EXPENSES OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND GETTING EVERYTHING DONE. POLICE GUYS, LET'S NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE. I KNOW SEVERAL OF YOU ONE. JANET I KNOW YOUR BIGGEST ADVOCATE IS FOR THE FOR THE PEOPLE HERE OF INDIAN TOWN. YOU ARE THEIR BIGGEST ADVOCATE. I WILL GIVE YOU THAT. YOU AND I HAVE NOT ALWAYS SEEN EYE TO EYE. BUT I WILL GIVE YOU THAT.
SOME OF YOU GUYS TO IF YOU GUYS WERE GONNA END UP TAX SAVING THESE PEOPLE. OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND THEN ALL THAT'S GOING TO COME IN IS NEW PEOPLE. AND THAT'S GREAT, TOO. BUT THEN WHAT MADE INDIAN TOWN WHAT IT IS TODAY, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE. THE IMMIGRANTS THAT AIR HERE THE OLDER PEOPLE OF INDIAN WOULD. THE INDIAN WOULD PEOPLE ON MY PARENTS. THEY'VE GONE UP $100 A MONTH IN THE RUNT. THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE THERE ANYMORE. THEY LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE SUBSIDIZING THEM, AND A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE DOING THAT. SO I'M ASKING YOU GUYS FOR THE INDIAN TOWN PEOPLE WHEN THIS WHOLE THING STARTED, IT WAS KEEP INDIAN TOWN. GREAT AGAIN. THIS IS GREAT. WE'RE GONNA HAVE THIS AWESOME COUNCIL AND WE'RE GOING TO THINK. SMALL BUSINESS. SMALL GOVERNMENT SMALL, SMALL, SMALL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE OWN. A UM, PROPERTY THAT WE CAN'T BUILD ON. AND WE HAVE WHAT 29 EMPLOYEES. WE HAVE 6000 RESIDENTS. WE DON'T NEED ALL OF THIS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY PHYSICAL PERSON THAT THERE'S TWO ON ZOOM? I KNOW THAT MR KENDALL, DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK? BURY TINDLE AM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THE INDIAN TOWN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. I'VE BEEN HERE ONCE BEFORE TO ASK ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. YES, I WILL. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? OKAY. THANK YOU, UM. I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE TO ASK ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND I WAS IGNORED. I'M GOING TO ASK AGAIN. I'M GOING TO ASK POLITELY. I SENT AN EMAIL ASKING THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CHANGE TO DISCUSS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT RACING FORWARD TO HIRE SOMEBODY FOR $85,000 PLUS ON COSTS. UM, I WAS REQUIRED TOL. I WAS ADMONISHED BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT THE SUNSHINE LAW. I KNOW THAT THAT IS DISMISSED WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE AND YOU FEEL YOU DON'T CONVICT AWAY WITH IT IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE. IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT NOT ABOUT NO GROWTH, AND IT'S NOT ABOUT UM WILL GROWTH. IT'S ABOUT SMART GROWTH. SO THE CONCEPT OF GETTING TOGETHER THE OF HAVING A DISCUSSION WOULD BE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. PLEASE DO NOT SEND SOMEBODY LIKE JIM CARREY IS TO HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH ME AND TRY AND STEAL IDEAS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE USING IT THE STRATEGIC PLANNING ON SATURDAY I HAD A VISIT FROM DOUG CORDOBA, WHICH WAS ALSO VERY INTERESTING. AFTER I SPOKE TO MR HOW WOULD YOU CONTACTED ME NOW? THIS IS A CONCEPT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW, NOT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE NOW. SO THE CONCEPT OF PUTTING TOGETHER
[00:50:01]
NOW I SENT AN EMAIL REQUESTING A MEETING AND I WAS TOLD I HAD TO COME TO THIS MEETING TO REQUEST A MEETING. THAT'S GOVERNMENT GONE MAD, SO I'M GOING TO SEND ANOTHER EMAIL AND I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE HAVING A RESPONSE AND A MEETING SET UP. IT'S GOING TO BE AN OPEN FORUM. THE DISCUSSIONS CAN BE HEAD OF THE TABLE BEFORE YOU DECIDE ON YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH. YOU NEED TO DO SOME STRATEGIC THINKING, AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE. SECOND THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS THE PERSON YOU'VE HIRED IS A GRANT SPECIALIST. THE HOSTAGES TO THE COUNCIL. THAT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL IS THAT GRAND SPECIALS BECOME AN EDUCATION FOR THE PEOPLE WHO OWN BUSINESSES IN THIS TOWN. THE AMERICAN RISKY PLAN'S GOING TO BECOME GEORGE STARK IS FROM THE MOUNTAIN COUNTY ADMINISTRATION OFFICE. HE'S GONNA COME TO MARTIN COUNTY TO THE CIVIC CENTER. I SHOULD SAY ON THE SIX OFF MAY. DO A PRESENTATION WITH REGARDS TO GRANTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO BE REALLY, REALLY NICE IF THE OPPORTUNITY THEN PASSED ON FROM THE PERSON THAT YOU'VE HIRED TO DO SOME EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ONCE WE'VE GOT THAT INFORMATION IN PLACE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU DOES THE COUNCIL. WANNA STOP HUH? TALK ABOUT THE REQUEST. MADAM MAYOR IF I COULD, UM, FIRST I WANTED TO THINK ALL OF THE, UM. THE PUBLIC FOR SHARING THEIR CONCERNS THAT THAT IS WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR IS TO HEAR. THEY'RE CONCERNED. SO I WANTED TO FIRST SAY THANK YOU, UM, AS A RELATES TO INVITING OR HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH MISS KENDALL. I. FOR ME. I THINK THAT AS A VILLAGE WE, UM WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, BECAUSE I LIKE YOU, UM I ALSO ENJOYED, UH. THE FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CHAMBER. SO I WANT US TO START FROM THAT THAT POINT WHEN WE HAD OUR DISCUSSION, WE TALKED ABOUT WONDERFUL THINGS THAT WE CAN DO HERE FOR THE VILLAGE AND I STILL BELIEVE THAT WE CAN DO THOSE THINGS, HOWEVER. I DON'T THINK IS APPROPRIATE FOR SOMEBODY FROM A DIFFERENT ENTITY TO COME TO OUR CHAMBERS AND TO TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING. I DON'T THINK WE DO THAT IN YOUR HOUSE. AND I WOULDN'T EXPECT FOR YOU TO COME TO DO THAT IN OUR HOUSE. AS I HAVE MENTIONED BEFORE. AND IT SEEMS LIKE I'M THE ONLY COUNCIL MEMBER THAT WILL MENTION IN PUBLIC THERE HAVE BEEN THERE HAVE BEEN THINGS THAT HAVE TRANSPIRED PRIOR TO YOU COMING AND BEING A EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HERE THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE WORKED OUT. SO AS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD, THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST OPTION THAT WE HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH. AND I HOPE THAT THIS COUNCIL WILL CONSTITUENT CONSIDER. HIRING THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PERSON SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY IN A GREAT CAPACITY.I DON'T I DON'T MIND WORKING WITH THE CHAMBER AND AS I HAVE SHARED BEFORE, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT DID NOT GO RIGHT. SO I THINK IS UNTIL THE BOARD DIRECTORS OR OR WHOEVER THAT IS RUNNING THE CHAMBER. CAN SIT DOWN AND HAVE A CONVERSATION. THEN I THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. BUT THE OTHER OPTION IS IN WHICH I THINK THAT WHERE WE ARE NOW IS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. I THINK YOU GUYS CAN OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY ON WHAT THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN IS DOING YOUR JOB IF MY UNDERSTANDING AND PLEASE HELP ME IF I IF I'M OFF KILTER. SO I THOUGHT YOUR JOB AS THE AS THE. CHAMBER IS TO PROMOTE BUSINESSES TO COME HERE. AND SO I THINK THAT IF YOU GUYS WOULD FOCUS ON THAT, INSTEAD OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE VILLAGE.
THEN I THINK WE WILL HAVE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP AND AGAIN. I WANT TO REITERATE FOR EVERYBODY WHO'S WATCHING. WHO'S LISTENING? ALL ALL OF THE ABOVE. I THINK YOU ARE A FANTASTIC PERSON. I WAS EXCITED WHEN YOU CAME ON BOARD, BUT I THINK THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE UNDERLINING THAT YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE OF. AND I THINK JUST TO COME TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL TOE BASICALLY TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT BE IN DOING IS TO ME ULTIMATE SIGN OF DISRESPECT AND WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS LEVEL OF DISRESPECT FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
AND SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE THIS MESSAGE BACK TO YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR YOU'RE BORED, AND MAYBE WE CAN GO FROM THERE, BUT I THINK AS OF NOW. ESPECIALLY WITH ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE SEEING HAPPENING IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN THAT WE CONTINUE TO MOVE AND CONTINUE TO PRESS FORWARD WITH OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH WE HAD ESTABLISHED.
LAST YEAR IN THE YEAR BEFORE. SO MISS KENDALL, I THANK YOU FOR COMING ON AGAIN. YOU HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART. I THINK YOU ARE EXTRAORDINARY AND HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE WILL BE IN A BETTER SITUATION. TOE WORK TOGETHER, BUT I THINK AS OF NOW, WITH ALL THE STUFF THAT IS
[00:55:07]
HAPPENING, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR PROGRESS AS A COUNCIL AND I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS COUNCIL, UM WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. THANK YOU.THANK YOU IS THERE I SEE A COUNCIL MEMBERS HAND. ON YES, MADAM MAYOR IS PLACED FAIR, CLARK. OH, YES, I AGREE WITH SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT ARE COUNCIL AND ALAN, I SPOKE OF MISS. YOU'RE VERY NICE PERSON. ON MY RELATIONSHIP DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PAUL. BUT I AM AN AGREEMENT THAT YOU DON'T COME AND TELL US WHAT'S BEST FOR US WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH HISTORY AND THAT I WAS GOING 20 YEAR. SOME KID WITH A PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE SOMETHING YOU KNOW HERE AND DIDN'T GREAT ANYBODY OR WHAT? YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU PERSONALLY, AND YOU CAN'T SPEAK FROM THAT ISSUE. SO WE STILL GOT MORE TOGETHER, SO THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US MOVING FORWARD AS A VILLAGE TO HIRE WHAT WE NEED FOR OURSELVES. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY OTHER COUNSEL? BUT LET ME JUST SPEAK AND I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES. I DO THINK THAT. FURTHER DOWN THE LINE. THERE CAN BE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ON GLENN ME. JUST GIVE YOU ONE EXAMPLE. AND I KNOW I SPOKE TO MR HAFFNER. AND IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS OFFLINE ALSO AND SPEAKING CONVERSATIONS, UM NO. AFTER THE FACT UM. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I EMAILED MR HAFFNER ABOUT WAS THE CHAMBER HAS I'M. I'VE ALWAYS SINCE DAY ONE. I'VE BEEN OPEN TO EVERYONE. UM, DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY TREAT ME WRONG OR WHATEVER THE CASE IS. BUT THE CHAMBER IF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TONGUE. HAD ONE OF THEIR STAFF MEMBERS TALKING SO BAD ABOUT ABOUT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THEY'D BE. FIRED BECAUSE THAT'S NOT TOLERATED. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY. UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S NOT THE CASE FOR THE CHAMBER.
AND TODAY I ACTUALLY HAD A BUSINESS OWNER. FRUSTRATED, UM HE CALLED ME. I CALLED HIM AND WE HAD A CONVERSATION. AND THAT WAS HIS FRUSTRATION. THAT YOU KNOW THE CHAMBERS TO REPRESENT IT. ZAH PROFESSIONAL ENTITY AND THEY HAVE TO REPRESENT THE CHAMBER AND IF YOU'RE ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES IS OUT THERE BASHING THIS WHOLE COUNSEL. AND BASHING OUR STAFF. WHICH ARE STUFF WORKS FOR US. WE DIRECT THEM WHAT TO DO. AND HAVING SOMEONE HERE FROM THE CHAMBER COMING AND TELLING US WHAT TO DO WHEN I DON'T TELL YOU WHAT TO DO YOU I DON'T I REALLY DON'T CARE WHAT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE US. YOU KNOW, THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CONDUCE YOU THEIR EVENTS. THEIR BREAKFAST IS. DON'T TELL YOU WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR MONEY OR ANYTHING. BUT WHEN YOU COME HERE AND DEMAND THAT WE DO EVERYTHING YOU SAY. THAT'S THAT'S NOT RIGHT S O. I THINK FURTHER DOWN THE LINE. THERE CAN BE A RELATIONSHIP. BUT RIGHT NOW I THINK ME PERSONALLY, I WANNA WAIT FOR THIS STAFF MEMBER TO COME DOWN. AND BE ABLE TO, UH, GET UP TO SPEED. AND THEN AFTER THAT, PROBABLY THEY COULD GO OVER TO YOU TO CHAMBER AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN WORK WITH THE CHAMBER. CURRENTLY I DON'T THINK THAT'S THAT I DON'T SEE ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES ON THE SAME. MOST OF MY COLLEAGUES ON THE SAME PAGE.
UM. AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND RESPOND. THANK YOU. I GUESS THE SCENARIO IS LIKE KEEP HEARING ABOUT THE PAST. WHAT'S HAPPENED? THE CHAMBER IS NOT A BUILDING ITS PEOPLE. IT'S MYSELF AND IT'S MISSING AT THIS POINT IN TIME. WHAT I WAS ASKING WAS, COULD WE WORK TOGETHER? NOT IN SOME PERIOD OFF IN THE FUTURE WORK TOGETHER ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. CHAMBER LOOKS OUT OF THE BUSINESSES THAT SELL JOB TO LOOK AFTER THE BUSINESS IS IN THE COMMUNITY IN YOUR JOB FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS TO LOOK AFTER THE PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY. I KNOW YOU'RE PROBABLY DISTRACTED BY WHAT'S HAPPENING OUTSIDE. THE CONCEPT IS THAT THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT TIME THAT WE DO WORK TOGETHER, NOT WAITING FOR SIX MONTH'S TIME OFF OR A YEAR'S TIME. NOW, AS FAR AS THE BOARD IS CONCERNED. I KEEP HEARING THINGS ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST. NOW I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT. SO THE FACT THAT
[01:00:07]
YOU PUT A POTENTIALLY I'M SAYING THINGS ABOUT THE CHAMBER NOW IS OFFENSIVE TO ME, AND I APPRECIATE THAT YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON. BUT. SCENARIO IS I KEEP SAYING ABOUT ARE HERE ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED. WELL, IF SOMEBODY GIVE ME SOME IDEAS OF WHAT HAPPENED, POTENTIALLY, WE COULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT WITHOUT COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER.NOTHING'S GOING TO CHANGE. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR PLATE RIGHT NOW. BUT THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THIS TOWN IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO STAND AND TALK ABOUT IT. IT'S NOT ABOUT DIRECTING ABOUT WHAT YOU SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T DO. AND I'VE EXTENDED MY HAND PERSONALLY ABOUT ALL SORTS OF THINGS. SO THE CONCEPT OF SAYING THAT WE'RE DIRECTING WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS INAPPROPRIATE. THAT'S NOT WHAT'S HAPPENED. ALL I'M ASKING YOU IS THAT CAN WE WORK TOGETHER? FOR THE BENEFIT OF BENEFIT OF THIS WHOLE COMMUNITY. THAT'S WHAT IT SEES. THERE'S NOTHING ELSE EXCEPT I HAVE NO SECONDARY AGENDA. IT REALLY IS A CASE OF WANTING TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND DO MY JOB, WHICH I'M SURE THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AS WELL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER I KNOW WE HAVE ZOOM COMMENTS. ONLINE. YES PANAMA HERE. UH WE HAVE EARNESTINE PALMA, MISS PALMER. IF YOU ARE MUTUALLY. OH, OKAY. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM. OKAY, FIRST, I WANT TO SAY, UM. GOOD EVENING TO EVERYONE TO OUR COUNSEL. GOOD EVENING. UM WHAT? I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT OF STUFF AND BEING A LOT OF STUFF. AND THE ONE THING THAT I WANT TO ADDRESS THE DISRESPECT TOWARD OUR VILLAGE COUNCILMAN. WOMEN.
I DON'T CARE WHO. OUTSIDE INSIDE, WE ELECTED THE COUNCIL, THE COUNCIL TO DO THEIR JOB, AND IT APPEARS THAT THIS YOUNG LADY THAT JUST STOOD UP AND OTHERS THEY CONSTANTLY BASHED.
THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP, BUT THEY WANT TO BASH AND I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. AND COUNCILMAN DOWN AND THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP. AND DEALING WITH THAT SITUATION. GET BECAUSE WE CAN'T GO TO ANOTHER ENTITY AND DO THAT, SO AND WE AS INDIAN TOWN RESIDENTS SHOULD NOT ALLOW ITSELF. PEOPLE THERE WILL COME IN AND SAY THEY'RE GOING TO HELP BUT THEN THE GREAT OUR COUNSEL, I'LL COUNSEL ARE THEIR PROFESSIONAL. THEY'RE INTELLIGENT AND THEY DO HAVE A LOT ON THEIR PLATE. AND AS A MEMBER OF THE VILLAGE IS MY JOB, MY PREROGATIVE TO WORK WITH THE COUNCIL THE WORK AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE THINGS ARE GETTING DONE. EVEN IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, OR THE REASON BEHIND IT, ASK THE QUESTIONS WITHOUT BEING SO DISRESPECTFUL. IN THE DEATH DOESN'T DISRESPECT. IS NEVER WARM. I DID THE COUNCIL HAVE FAMILY THEY SUPPOSED TO DO THIS JOB THEY'VE GIVEN THEMSELVES AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPECTED WITH GOD. LIZZA HOW I MAY FEEL YOU MAY FEEL WHOEVER MAY FEEL THEY ARE DOING THEIR BEST. AND IF A PERSON DOESN'T LIKE THAT, THAT'S FINE. LET'S JUST RESPECT THE COUNCIL. WE GO TOE, OTHER MUNICIPALITIES. AND WHAT DO WE DO? WE RESPECT BUT THEN WE COME HOME AND WE WANT TO DISRESPECT.
SO THE COUNCIL I WANT TO STAY. THANK YOU ALL FOR DOING EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER, WHETHER WE UNDERSTAND IT OR NOT. WE DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS ARE DEALING WITH AND ALL THE NUMBERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE BUT WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING. IT SAID THANK YOU TOO CRAMPED FOR YOU GUYS, SO I PERSONALLY JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU.

UM YOU KNOW, YOU CAN EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT. I BELIEVE IN THAT WE ALL HAVE. UH, YOU CAN'T ALL. THERE'S NOT A PERFECT WORLD YOU CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE. SO FROM THE START, I HAVE ALWAYS SAID THEM AVAILABLE TO MEET WITH RESIDENTS AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THAT RESIDENCE MEET WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO LEARN THE FAX. SOCIAL MEDIA CAN BE MISLEADING AND YOU NEED TO DO YOUR RESEARCH. I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS THE ATTACK ON HER VILLAGE MANAGER. IS AN ATTACK ON THE COUNCIL. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE A HUGE MINORITY POPULATION. WHEN I SAY MINORITY, I'M TALKING ABOUT BLACKS AND BROWN. AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE ONLY REASONS WHY WE DIDN'T REALLY GET RESOURCE IS OUT HERE IN INDIAN TOWN WAS BECAUSE THIS POPULATION IS THE WORKING HARD WORKING CLASS. DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO TO THE COUNTY AND ASK AND DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO ASK OR DEMAND FOR ROADS TO BE FIXED PARKS TOO. FIXED ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IRRITATES ME IS WHEN PEOPLE SAY I LOVE IN YOU IN TOWN. INDIAN TOWNS DEAR TO ME, BUT WHEN I'VE LIVED HERE, 29 YEARS GOING ON TO 13 AND. I'VE SEEN MORE STUFF DONE. AND THIS COUNTS ON THE LAST THREE YEARS. IT FRUSTRATES ME BECAUSE THIS COUNCIL. INITIALLY SAID THAT THEY WANTED TO FIX THE INFRASTRUCTURE. MAKE SURE WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OUR COMMUNITY. AND WHAT HAVE WE DONE? WE'VE DONE THAT. IT HASN'T BEEN THE EASY PROCESS. IT'S ALWAYS SEEMS THAT YOU KNOW IT'S. IT'S THE DIVISION OF COLOR, AND IT SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THAT. I WORK FOR EVERYONE, AND MR CALDWELL CAN SAY THAT, LIKE LITERALLY, I'M ALWAYS ON THE PHONE WITH HIM. I'M ON THE PHONE WITH A LOT OF IN, YOU WOULD RESIDENT AH LOT OF. BLACK RESIDENTS. A LOT OF HISPANIC RESIDENTS AND.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT ANY ANTON. IT'S A MELTING POT, AND WHAT PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DO IS TRY TO CREATE DIVISION. DIVISION WITH OUR VILLAGE MANAGER WHO WE DIRECT WHEN I SAY WE THIS COUNCIL, I CAN'T DIRECT. VILLAGE MANAGER MYSELF. IT HAS TO BE A THREE OR MORE VOTE. SO WHEN I SAY THAT THIS COUNCIL DIRECTS HIM. I CAN PICK UP THE PHONE AND ASK HIM AND I'LL CALL STAFF WHEN I SAY STAFF, I WILL CALL ANYONE I NEED TO ASK FOR MY QUESTIONS. AND WHAT DO I GET? I GET MY RESPONSES BACK OR THE RESIDENTS WHO HAVE THE SITUATION. CRITICAL, UM. CODE
[01:20:07]
ENFORCEMENT QUESTIONS OR WHATEVER THE CASE CONVEY BE. THEY WILL HAVE STAFF REACHED OUT TO THEM AFTER THE COUNCIL WHO YOU HAVE ELECTED, YES. HE VILLAGE. RESIDENTS OF INDIAN TOWN HAVE ELECTED. SINCE DAY ONE. I KNEW THIS WAS NOT GONNA BE EASY BECAUSE THIS COMMUNITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF SINCE DAY ONE. BEFORE THIS, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE OF COLOR. UNFORTUNATELY, I COULD TELL YOU. SINCE MY LAST ELECTION LAST YEAR, I COULD TELL YOU IT REALLY DOES MATTER. HISPANIC. BEING BLACK HAIR. MAKES A DIFFERENCE. AND. PEOPLE MIGHT SAY NOT, BUT WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE IT. WHEN I KNOW OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS, MR I RECON TONY. WE'VE LIVED IN THE SHADOWS FOR YEARS WHEN THESE PEOPLE. HAVE LIVED IN THE SHADOWS FOR YEARS, FINALLY HAVE A VOICE ON WE'RE WORKING FOR OUR COMMUNITY. WE WANT THE BEST FOR OUR COMMUNITY. WE HAVE THE BEST STAFF OR WE HAVE OUR BEST CONTRACTORS. WE'RE NOT GETTING JUST ANYONE. AS. PERSON TO RECOMMEND ANYTHING WHEN I SAY WHEN, WHEN I'VE BEEN USING A LOT OF METAPHORS. WHEN YOU HAVE A TOOTHACHE. WHO DO YOU GO TO? DO YOU GO TO THE DOCTOR, OR DO YOU GO TO THE DENTIST? YOU GO TO A DENTIST? WHO DO WE GET FOR OUR WATER AND SOAR SYSTEM? WE GOT MR HARTMAN THE BEST OUT OF THE BEST AROUND. WE HAVE THIS WHOLE FIRE RESCUE DEAL. AND WHO DO WE HAVE, MR ICONA, AND HE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND DOES THIS. ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT ONLY FLORIDA. I'M TALKING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. AND. YOU KNOW, CITY OF PLACENTA. WHEN THEY SPOKE TO US AT THAT ONE MEANING TELLING US WE WERE GOING TO GET THIS? I KNEW WE WERE GOING TO GET THIS. WE WERE GONNA GET PUSHED BACK. HAVE YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY ASK YOUR VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND REGARDS OF WHY. GET THE PRESENTATIONS GIVEN TO YOU. I SPENT. MONDAY AN HOUR WITH MY STAFF, INCLUDING MR ICONA, BECAUSE THERE WAS QUESTIONS I HAD AND IF ANY RESIDENT FEELS THAT. THEY ARE STILL IN THE DILEMMA. WHY WE'RE WANTING THIS. WE'LL CONTACT US. WE'RE ALWAYS WILLING. I KNOW THIS WHOLE COUNCILS WANTING TO SO. IN REALITY, IT HASN'T BEEN EASY.MARIN COUNTY HAS NOT BEEN EASY TO WORK WITH. YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT OF PEOPLE SAYING THAT. OH NO, THEY DIDN'T TAKE THE USAGE AWAY FROM I ACTUALLY HAD STAFF SEND THAT.
AFTER WE GOT THE PARK'S A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE COUNTY PUT THAT WE COULD ONLY USE IT FOR RECREATION OR PURPOSES ONLY, WHICH IS PARK USE ON LEE. WE COULDN'T USE THAT FIRE STATION.
SO. PLEASE. I ENCOURAGE OUR RESIDENTS. TALK TO YOUR VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS. WE HAVE THE INFORMATION IF WE DON'T HAVE INFORMATION WE CALL THE STAFF BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON. AND. AND I UNDERSTAND EVERYONE HAS THEIR RIGHT TO DISAGREE OR AGREE, BUT I REALLY WANT TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT. OUR STAFF IS WORKING. SO GOOD AND REGARDS OF TRYING TO GET YOU KNOW? THE FAX OUT THERE, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE ASKED THE VILLAGE MANAGER. THAT WE START DOING INFORMATIONAL STUFF. UM AND WE PROBABLY WON'T DISCUSS THAT ON SATURDAY BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION. A LOT OF MISINFORMATION, AND I'M NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT WHO OR WHAT IS BEING SAID, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I DO WANT TO ASK THE VILLAGE ATTORNEY IS TO ANSWER A QUESTION. MR VILLAGE ATTORNEY.
I'VE BEEN TOLD BY A FEW RESIDENTS THAT WE TOOK PROPERTY RIGHTS AWAY. HAVE WE DONE THAT?
[01:25:04]
AND CAN YOU EXPLAIN, PLEASE? SURE MAYOR I'D BE GLAD TO LET ME GO AHEAD AND REWIND A LITTLE BIT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WHERE WE STARTED A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, OKAY? THE GUIDANCE. THE UNIFORMS. GUIDANCE FROM THE COUNCIL ON THIS ISSUE IN DEVELOPING THE VILLAGES, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND THEN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. IS THAT IN.DEALING WITH ANY SORT OF PROPERTY RIGHTS OR ENTITLEMENTS. OKAY THAT THOSE RIGHTS WOULD.
BE OF THE SAME LEVEL OR BETTER. OKAY THAT WAS THE GUIDANCE THAT HAD HAD GUIDED ALL OF THAT WORK THAT ALL OF YOUR PLANNING STAFF LEGAL FOLKS LOOKING AT ANY OF THAT HAD BEEN USING AS THE POLE STAR. THROUGH ALL OF IT. WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS MANY TIMES AND IN THE. INNUMERABLE WORKSHOPS THAT WE HELD AND NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS, AND ALSO THE INNUMERABLE WORKSHOPS THAT WE HAD AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC WITH THE. LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION PROCESS, AND AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH ALL OF THAT, STAFF HAS DONE THEIR BEST TO BE OPEN WHEN MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HAVE APPROACH WHERE WE HAVE NOT MET THAT GOAL, OKAY? BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH IS THE FACT WE HAVE A BIG. COMPLEX SET OF REGULATIONS. THE MARTIN COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, ALL RIGHT. VERY BIG. BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL REASONS. POSITED FOR CREATING THE VILLAGE. AMONG A LOT OF FOLKS WAS THEY THOUGHT THAT DEVELOPMENT WAS TOO DIFFICULT IN MARTIN COUNTY BECAUSE OF MARTIN COUNTY'S HISTORY. OFF OF STYMIEING PROPERTY RIGHTS. AND SO WHEN YOU GO FROM ALL OF THIS TO HAVING A WHOLE NEW SET OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS SARAH. ALMOST INFINITE DIFFERENT PERMUTATIONS WHERE SOMETHING MAY NOT WORK OUT PERFECTLY. AND SO WE TALKED ABOUT THIS REPEATEDLY, BOTH IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS AND IN THE L D R PROCESS. THAT YOU ALL HAVE MADE VERY CLEAR WIN. ON A PARTICULAR SET OF LAND USES THAT MAY BE PERMISSIBLE ON A PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY WE FIND AFTER WE DIG INTO IT, WE FIND UP THIS ONE FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS. WE KNEW THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME. GOING COMING BACK AROUND A SECOND TIME AND FIXING HOLES OR GAPS OR WHAT HAPPENED. AND THE WAY STAFF AND PLANNING STAFF HAD BEEN DEALING WITH SOME OF THOSE MATTERS IS ULTIMATELY COLLECTING UP A LITTLE LIST OF UP. WELL THERE'S THAT THING. WE GOT TO FIX THAT IN THE LD OURS. WE GOTTA FIX THAT IN THE LD OURS AND WE. GET SOME OF THOSE PUT TOGETHER. EVENTUALLY SOMEYOL FOR CLEANUP. UM IN ADDITION, THAT BAD. THING YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND. WITH REGARD. TO TRANSITIONING FROM THE BIG MARTIN COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH READS MORE LIKE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS THAT GETS INTO INCREDIBLY DETAIL MORE THAN MOST COMPREHENSIVE PLANS DO STATEWIDE. AGAIN THAT BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH THAT HISTORY OF NOT BEING IS UM PROPERTY RIGHTS FRIENDLY IF YOU WILL. UM WHEN YOU ARE. GOING FROM THAT REGIME TO WHAT WE HAVE NOW IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, WHICH HAD BEEN A GOAL TO STREAMLINE AND SIMPLIFY. THE RESULT IS YOU END UP WITH. A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO REFER TO THINGS DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS, DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ENCOMPASS, UH. YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE DIFFERENT PROPERTY USES ARE? IN THE MARTIN COUNTY LD. OURS THERE ARE FIVE OR SIX OR SEVEN DIFFERENT WAYS TO SAY HOTEL OR MOTEL. OKAY THEY GET THEY GET THAT RIGHT INTO THE WEEDS, OK? UH, THE INDIAN TOWN LD. OURS ARE MUCH MORE SUCCINCT, AND THEN THEY GET RIGHT TO THE POINT. BASICALLY ANYONE DEFINITION OURS KIND OF TAKES IN THREE OR FOUR DEFINITIONS OVER THERE. AND SO THERE IS A LEARNING PROCESS, PARTICULARLY FOR FOLKS LOOKING TO DEVELOP THEIR PROPERTY AND FROM MY OBSERVATION IN MY OWN WORK, THE STAFF HAS BEEN TRYING TO WORK HARD WITH ANY OF THOSE FOLKS TRYING TWO. EXERCISE THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS TO DEVELOP THEIR PROPERTY. SO, BUT. DON'T
[01:30:07]
KNOW IF I WENT OFF ON A TANGENT LITTLE BIT THERE, BUT I WANTED TO GIVE YOU THE BIG PICTURE IN THE HISTORY OF WHERE IT IS, SO IT HAS BEEN YOUR DIRECTION, AND I BELIEVE STAFF HAS ENDEAVORED AT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. DO NOT TAKE AWAY PROPERTY RIGHTS AND WHERE. IT'S IDENTIFIED IN THIS INFINITE PERMUTATIONS OF. TRANSLATION FROM HERE TO HERE. STAFF'S BEEN VERY RECEPTIVE TO FIGURING OUT WHERE THOSE GAPS AND THEN EVENTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR BEST TO WORK WITH THE COUNCIL TO SORT THROUGH THAT. THANK YOU. ANY COMMITTEE REPORTS BY THE COUNCIL. YES UM,[COMMITTEE REPORTS]

RESOLUTION NO. XXX-2021: A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
]RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL, THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. EVEN THE MAYOR. NICE MARE AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. FOR THE RECORD OUT VIA JEFFERSON COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. TODAY YOU ARE BEING PRESENTED WITH THE SYRIZA CHANGES TO THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE, INCLUDING CHANGES PROPOSED FOR BUILDING SERVICES FEES. PARKS AND RECREATION.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND PUBLIC WORKS. WE DO HAVE MR SCOGGINS AND MR ARCHIE BELL AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR PROPOSED BE CHANGES. HOWEVER I'LL START WITH A SUMMARY OF THE ONES BEING PROPOSED FOR BUILDING. TO INCLUDE A TECHNOLOGICAL FEE. AND ALSO TO PROVIDE FOR A LAND CLEARING AND. LAND CLEARING AND DEMOLITION PERMIT. MM. YEAH. AND, UM. ALSO LOOKING FOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW TO ESTABLISH AN ALTERNATIVE FEE FOR CONDITIONAL USE, ESPECIALLY FROM OH MOBILE FOOD VENDORS. WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF MOBILE FOOD VENDORS HERE IN THE VILLAGE THAT WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THEIR LOCATION, BUT DOING SO WOULD MEAN A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND TO ENCOURAGE THOSE MOVES. WE ARE PROPOSING THIS ONE TIME REDUCED, BE. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT OFFERING IN MID SCALE OPTION FOR SPECIAL EVENTS.
APPLICATIONS. AND IT WOULD BE A REDUCED RATE FOR NONPROFITS. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE PROPOSED CHANGES TO SOME OF THE FEES FOR VARIANCES. AND OTHERS. AND WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MR SCOGGINS AND MR ARCHIE BELL. COVER THEIR FEES. HELLO. DO YOU MEAN? YOU HEAR ME? YES, YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. I'M JUST REAL QUICK. AS PART OF OUR MASTER FEE SCHEDULE.
REVISION I JUST WANT TO BRING A FEW THINGS TO YOUR ATTENTION. NUMBER ONE WOULD HAVE OUR PAVILION RENTALS AT POST FAMILY PARK AND IT BIG MOUNT PARK. THE FEES THAT WE HAD ADOPTED WERE A LITTLE BIT OUT OF LINE BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE PAVILIONS. SO WHAT I DID AS I PUT THE PAVILIONS AND AN ORDER OF SMALL, MEDIUM AND LARGE, SO AH, SMALL PAVILION WOULD HAVE ONE PICNIC TABLE UNDER A MEDIUM PAVILION WOULD HAVE TO IN A LARGE PAVILION WOULD HAVE HERE MORE.
AND I BROUGHT THOSE FEES IN LINE WITH WHAT I THOUGHT WAS. CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST. THEY WERE JUST OUT OF ORDER. SO. THOSE WERE THE CHANGES ON CIVILIANS WANTING TO AT POST PARK AND 123 AND FOUR BIG BALLPARK. TWO NEW ADDITIONS ARE WE DO HAVE SIX TOTAL PAVILIONS. SO WE ADDED PAVILION NUMBER FIVE. AND WE HAVE A PAVILION NUMBER SIX TO THE RENTAL. FEES. WE ALSO ADDED THE PAVILION AT BOOKER PARK. WHICH WAS NOT ON OUR LIFT OF RENTALS, BUT WE DO RENT IT QUITE FREQUENTLY. AND THE LAST THING THAT WE DID WAS WE PUT IN A SECURITY CLEANUP DEPOSIT. WHICH WILL BE BASED ON THE TYPE OF EVENT. THAT IS GOING ON AT THE
[01:40:02]
PARK. WHETHER IT'S A SPECIAL EVENT PARTY PICNIC, ETCETERA AND TRY TO. GET A DEPOSIT OR A FEAT. THAT WOULD COVER UP OUR CLEANUP COSTS. IF THE RENTER LEAVES PROPERTY IN DISARRAY ON A LOT OF TRASH AIR. BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES. SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE MAJOR CHANGES FOR THE PARK. UM, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT. DOES ANY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE QUESTIONS? MR SPA GINS. MADAM MAYOR, TALISMAN, DOLLY! THANK THANK YOU. L B. I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT I NOTICED THE PRICE REDUCTION FOR THE OTHER PARKS. AND I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY INVITING TO HAVE MORE FOLKS USED TO PARTS BECAUSE. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBER HAS GET MESSAGES FROM RESIDENTS, BUT I GET MESSAGES ALL THE TIME ASKING. PARK FEES AND THOSE THOSE THOSE NATURE CALLS, SO I'M EXCITED THAT THESE PRICES HAVE BEEN REDUCED SO THAT WE CAN BETTER SERVE OUR COMMUNITY AND GET THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENJOY AN EVENT AT A DISCOUNTED RATE. SO. IF WE COULD. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE CAN PUT THIS IN A MORE, ESPECIALLY THE PARK RENTAL FEES AND THE PAVILION FEES IF WE COULD PUT THAT IN MORE OF A LAYMAN'S TERM, YOU KNOW, LIKE A BASIC FORMAT. SO THAT WE CAN NOT ONLY POST THAT ON THE VILLAGE WEBSITE BUT ALSO I WANT TO SHARE THAT ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA S SO IT BASICALLY, UM YOU KNOW WHO WHO TO CONTACT.YOU KNOW WHAT INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED, ETCETERA, ETCETERA, SO THAT WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION OUT TO OUR RESIDENTS. SO JUST WANTED TO SAY KUDOS FOR THAT. AND IF WE COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IN THE WEEKS TO COME. I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY IS STRETCHED, BUT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THANK THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'LL BE. YOU'RE WELCOME ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCILWOMAN? GIVE THOMAS YES, THANK YOU. GUESS THIS WOULD BE FOR MISS JEFFERSON. TEMPORARY USE AND SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT. I NOTICED THAT THE OTHER ONES ARE SPECIFICALLY, YOU KNOW, GEARED.
FOR THE PARKS AND RENTAL OF THOSE, SO WE HAVE A MID SIZED EVENT. 5200 PEOPLE $150 SMALL EVENTS $30. WOULD THIS APPLY TO ME AT MY HOUSE IF I WERE TO HAVE A CHILDREN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY? IT WOULD ONLY APPLY TO YOU IF, IN FACT YOU WERE PLANNING TO CLOSE THE STREET.
OR REQUIRES SPECIAL SERVICES FROM ON BEHALF OF THE VILLAGE IN TERMS OF PLANNING FOR THAT EVENT. IN FACT, WE TAKE IN AN APPLICATION TODAY FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY WHERE THEY WANT TO CLOSE THE STREET. OKAY. AND SO THAT'S UNDER REVIEW NOW. OKAY, SO THAT THESE FEES WOULD BE REQUIRED IF THERE IS SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF THERE. PROPERTY LIMITS BASICALLY. YES.
OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. AND MR SCOGGINS. I DO HAVE A QUESTION, TOO. IN REGARDS OF THE DEPOSIT. IS THAT REFUNDABLE? OR IS THAT LIKE A. NONREFUNDABLE DEPOSIT. YES MADAM MAYOR. THE DEPOSIT IS A REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT. AND LAUGH. THE COST OF CLEANING UP WHEN WE BRING WITH WE HAVE TO BRING STAFF IN TO CLEAN UP. ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL CHARGE THAT AGAINST THEIR DEPOSIT. GENERALLY AND MY PAST EXPERIENCE. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PRETTY GOOD WHEN THEY HAVE A DEPOSIT DOWN AND MAKING SURE THAT THE AREA IS CLEANED UP.
AND, UH AND NOT LEFT IN DISARRAY. SO UM, IT'S JUST REALLY A MORE OF A MOTIVATING FACTOR. UM WE WILL HOLD THE DEPOSIT. UM. THE ONLY WAY WE WILL WILL DEPOSIT IT AND USE OUR MONEY IS IF WE HAVE TO BRING IN ADDITIONAL STAFF TO CLEAN UP AFTER HIM. OKAY THANK YOU ANY FURTHER COUNSEL DISCUSSION? OH, BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ONE REQUEST ON PAGE 72 OF EXHIBIT A TO THE RESOLUTION. FOR THE FEE CHANGE THE FEE ENTITLED LENG CLEARING PERMIT. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT CHANGE TO LAND CLEARING SLASH GRADING PERMIT. MORE ACCURATELY REFLECT. THAT PERMIT WOULD BE FOR. NO. NO. IS THAT JUST ON
[01:45:11]
NEW BUILD? IS THAT JUST ON NEW DEVELOPMENT? WHAT? I HAVE TO GET THAT PERMIT. IF I WERE TO IT, MY HOUSE. WANT TO KEEP CLEAR FIELD. I'M NOT SAYING THAT I'M NOT LOOKING AT. AGE 72 OKAY, RESIDENTS. RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY IS EXEMPT. FROM HAVING TO PULL A PERMIT TO REMOVED NINE AND BASIC TREES. BUT IF YOU ARE CLEARING A BIG SWAMPED OF YOUR LAND, IT WOULD BE BEST. TO CHECK WITH THE VILLAGE FIRST. FOR WHAT PURPOSE? WE'RE ASKED TO DETERMINE IF YOU WOULD REQUIRE A CRYING FOR ME. WHAT PAGE? DID YOU SAY? 72. YEAH. SO.CAN WE LET BILL DO HIS THING? BECAUSE I KNOW THIS HE'S WAITING ON IT. MR. WILL, MR ARCHER BELL? EVENING NO PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE FAIRLY SIMPLE. THE FIRST SECTION THAT WE WERE REQUESTING MODIFICATIONS WITH IS TO ADD THE RIGHT OF YOU RIGHT OF WAY USE PERMIT APPLICATION FEES. THE FEES WERE ACTUALLY ALREADY ON THE DRIVEWAY PERMIT OR THE RIGHT OF WAY USE PERMIT APPLICATION, BUT THEY WERE NOT IN THE FACE SCHEDULE, SO WE'RE LOOKING TO FORMALIZE THAT AND ADD A UTILITY CONNECTION FEED IN THERE FOR WATER AND SEWER CONNECTION FEES FOR $180, WHICH WOULD COVER ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING AND INSPECTIONS BY THE UTILITY. TO VERIFY THAT EVERYTHING IS DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH STANDARD DETAILS, INVESTIGATIONS. THE NEXT SECTION IS TO ELIMINATE THE ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTION FEES THE VILLAGE CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE AN ENVIRONMENTAL DEPARTMENT AND I BELIEVE THIS WAS A LEFTOVER FROM MARTIN COUNTIES FEES. WHEN THINGS WERE BROUGHT OVER TO THE VILLAGE. WE RELY ON ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS AND SIGNED AND SEALED STATEMENTS FROM OUR CONSULTANTS. AT THIS POINT, THE FINAL THING WAS ENGINEERING INSPECTION FEES. THE FEES THAT WE HAD BROUGHT OVER ORIGINALLY APPEARED TO BE MARTIN COUNTIES FEES. THEY WERE BASED ON A TIERED SET UP AND IT SEEMS TO PLACE A HIGHER BURDEN ON SMALLER DEVELOPMENTS. AND BY CHANGING THIS TO A PERCENTAGE OF THE SITE IMPROVEMENTS, MEANING THE PAVING AND DRAINAGE WORK ON SITE NOT INCLUDING ANY VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION BECAUSE THAT'S OUTSIDE THE PURVIEW OF ENGINEERING. SO IF WE DO IT ON A HALF A PERCENT. WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN IS IF SITE WORK WERE TO TOTAL THAT HALF MILLION DOLLARS THAN THE INSPECTION FEES WOULD BE ABOUT $2500 IF IT WERE TO BE A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS. THE INSPECTION FEES TO BE AROUND $1250 SO YOU CAN SEE THE SMALLER THE PROJECT IS THIEF FEES WILL ACTUALLY DROP BELOW THE TIERED SCALE WE HAVE NOW AND THEN LARGER PROJECTS. FOR INSTANCE, THE D RI THAT MAYBE, UM, YOU KNOW, UM MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, YOU CANNOT REASONABLY INSPECT. THAT ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT FOR $3000 WHEN IT COMES TO ALL WATER, WHERE, UM, DRAINAGE INSPECTIONS, PAVING INSPECTIONS AND SUCH, SO WE'RE REQUESTING A PERCENTAGE SCALE AND ELIMINATE THE TIERED SALE. COUNCILMAN DARLING. YEAH THANKS. SO SO MUCH BILL FOR THIS WEALTH OF INFORMATION. GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU. AS IT RELATES TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL FEES. WHO WOULD WHO TRADITIONALLY WHO WOULD HAVE NORMALLY PAID UM, THAT FEE. DEVELOPERS WOULD NORMALLY PAY MARTIN. THIS IS FROM MARTIN COUNTY. THEY HAVEN'T ENVIRONMENTAL DIVISION, SO THIS IS FOR MARTIN COUNTY TO REVIEW THE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS AND STATEMENTS THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED TO THE COUNTY, SO THEY HAVE LICENSED BIOLOGISTS AND SUCH ON THEIR STAFF TO CONDUCT THOSE REVIEWS. THE VILLAGE RELIES ON THE SIGN UNSEALED. ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS FROM OUR CONSULTANT OR FROM THE DEVELOPERS AT THIS POINT, SO THEY WILL HAVE AN ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT. SUBMITTED TO US.
AWESOME ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SO MUCH FOR THAT INFORMATION. COUNCILMAN STONE. WHAT IF IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY HOME? THAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS ENGINEERING DOES NOT GET
[01:50:01]
INVOLVED WITH SITE WORK ON SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT IS THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT TO PURVIEW.SIR. CAN'T SOMEONE GIVE THOMAS. OKAY INDIAN TOWN TECHNOLOGY, FI. I KNOW IT'S ONLY 1. BUT WHAT DOES THAT COVER? WHERE'S THAT? UNDER MANDATE ACTUALLY UNDER BUILDINGS, SO THAT'S BUILDING DEPARTMENT. I HAVE NO IDEA SO WAY ARE PERMITTED TO CHARGE A TECHNOLOGY FEET, TOO, FOR THE UPKEEP. PURCHASE OF ANY SOFTWARE OR RELATED EXPENSES TO ISSUE BUILDING PERMITS. AND SO THIS WOULD WHENEVER WE GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE OUR THERAPY SYSTEM. PAY FOR THE SYSTEM UPGRADES AND ADDITIONAL LICENSES OVER TIME. AND I HAD ANOTHER QUESTION. LET ME JUST GO. UM THE FIRE. I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE GET THE, UM YOU KNOW WHEN DEVELOPERS ARE. ARE BURNING THEIR THEIR PERMITS. DO THEY GO THROUGH THE VILLAGE? I KNOW THAT IT'S DONE THROUGH STATE. BUT IS THERE REALLY ANY INCENTIVES THAT PROBABLY THE VILLAGE CAN DO? YES IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING ANY SORT OF CLEARING WORK AT ALL. A SHOULD BE COMING TO THE VILLAGE, FIRST FOR ANY CONTROLLED BURN. WE DON'T ISSUE THOSE PERMITS. SO THEY DO HAVE TOL GO TO FLORIDA WILDLIFE. AND WE DON'T HAVE OUR OWN FIRE. UM. INSPECTOR SO THEY WOULD ALSO HAVE TO GO TO THE COUNTY. WE HAVE HAD, FOR EXAMPLE, TODAY CALLS FROM RESIDENTS ABOUT PRETTY LARGE PIECE OF LAND BEING CLEARED AND WE HAD THE BUILDING OFFICIAL AND. OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER GO OUT THERE AND ISSUE A CITATION. AND THE WORK WAS.
ON YESTERDAY, BUT THE PERMIT IS REQUIRED FOR THAT. OKAY, SO PERMITS ARE REQUIRED AND. JUST I KNOW WHAT WE'VE I THINK THE THIS WHOLE COUNSEL HAS RECEIVED, LIKE RESIDENTS CONCERNS FRESHLY LIKE. SOME PEOPLE HAVE ASTHMA AND EVERYTHING AND. ONE OF THE WITH THE BURNING AND SEE, AND I KNOW I'VE HAD THE QUESTION. IS THERE ANY INCENTIVE THAT THE VILLAGE CAN. DO. IT PROBABLY IS NOT TO THIS SUBJECT. WELL THEY'RE A COUPLE OF THINGS WE CAN DONO AND ACTUALLY HAD THIS DISCUSSION TODAY WITH BUILDING OFFICIAL IN TERMS OF CONTROLLED BURNS AND EVEN FOR DEMOLITIONS WERE GOING TO COME UP WITH. UM STANDARD PROCEDURES THAT THE APPLICANT WOULD NEED TO NOTIFY THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS PRIOR 48 HOURS PRIOR TO THE START OF. YOU KNOW, WORK, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. IT'S NOT YET IN OUR CODE, BUT IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WADE MENTIONED. WE'RE MAKING NOTE OF THAT. WE NEED TO CHANGE. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND CAN'T SOMEONE STONE BACK TO THE 1? WHAT IS THAT 1% OFF IS THAT 1% OF THE COST OF THE CONSTRUCTION OR THAT'S A LOT. NO IT'S JUST FOR THE FEE JUST FOR TECHNOLOGY. NO, IT'S ZIN TECHNOLOGY FEED AND WHAT IT PAYS FOR HIS EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY FOR THE INSPECTOR AND THE PERMITS DEATH. AND IT'S 1% OF THE. THE OF THE TOTAL PERMIT COST YET THE BUILDING PERMIT FEE. THAT'S HOW IT READS 1% OF THE BUILDING PERMIT. THINK OK, NO, NOT COST OF CONSTRUCTION. YEAH, I WAS GONNA SAY THAT COULD BE LIKE A LOT OF MONEY JUST FOR TECHNOLOGY.
YEAH, NO, IT Z THE PERMIT? YEAH. HERE TO MESS UP, COUNCILMAN DOLLY! HEY THANK YOU.
SO MUCH FOR THE REPORT JUST HAD A QUESTION AND I'M GLAD THAT THE MAYOR BROUGHT IT UP. UM, TALKING ABOUT CONTROL BIRDS AND DEMEAN DEMOLITIONS. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE CAN SET AN ORDINANCE? UM THAT BASED ON THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND THAT WE THAT IF THIS, I KNOW IT IF IT'S HAPPENING INSIDE THE VILLAGE THAT BASED ON THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND. THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT'S GOING IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION. WOULD YOU? DO YOU THINK THAT WILL BE A POSSIBILITY OR OR DO WE EVEN NEED SOMETHING AS UM. DO WE NEED THAT POLICY BECAUSE BECAUSE WHAT I HAVE HEARD CONCERNS ABOUT A ZWELLING THE BREATHING CONDITION AND I KNOW WELLINGTON OR SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES. A SOUTH OF US. THEY HAVE IMPLEMENTED ORDINANCE
[01:55:03]
THAT IF THE WIND IS BLOWING A PARTICULAR WAY, THEN, UM UM. THOSE CONTROLLED BURNS OR SUGAR CANE. BURNS WON'T BE ALLOWED. SO CAN WE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? IMPLEMENT SOMETHING LIKE THAT HERE? SO YOU'VE MENTIONED TWO THINGS CONTROLLED BURN. AND THEN THE. BURNING OF THE SUGAR THING IS THAT I BELIEVE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS SO I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK TO SEE WHAT WHAT PURVIEW WE HAVE WITH THE SUGAR CANE BURNING. IN TERMS OF THE CONTROL BURNING. I WILL SPEAK WITH FLORIDA WILDLIFE TO SEE WHAT THE SPECS ARE IN THE PERMITS THAT THEY ISSUE BUT IF IT'S NOT ADDRESSED IN THEIR PERMIT, THEN THAT IS LANGUAGE. I WOULD CONSULT VILLAGE ATTORNEY ABOUT IN TERMS OF INCLUDING IN OUR ORDINANCE. NOW. I APPRECIATE THAT. I THINK WE CAN GET A GET AHEAD OF IT AS WE'RE GROWING TOE HAVE SOMETHING IMPLEMENTED SO THAT WE CAN KEEP OUR RESIDENTS SAFE. SO THANK YOU. I WAS JUST GONNA MENTION ONE THING IF YOU WERE CALM. IS A LONG TIME AGO. NOW WAY HAD WHOLE BEGINNING OF A MEETING. WHEN SUGAR CAME BURNING WAS AN ISSUE AND UNFORTUNATELY I WAS I WAS OUT OF TOWN. WAY DON'T HAVE ANY SUGAR CANE FIELDS WITHIN THE VILLAGE BOUNDARY. OKAY, SO STEP ONE WITH REGARD TO SUGAR CANE BURNING. WE DON'T HAVE ANY REGULATORY AUTHORITY. IN THAT SENSE OUTSIDE THE MUNICIPAL BATTERY. THAT KIND OF COMES TO THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE. IF WE DID IF WE HAD A LOT OF SUGAR CANE SUGAR CANE BURNING GOING ON IN THE VILLAGE THAT WE'D HAVE AH, HOLD ANOTHER KETTLE OF FISH TO DEAL WITH WITH THE. IT'S GONNA SOUND WEIRD BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE WOULD NECESSARILY APPLY, BUT IT SORT OF DOES THEIR RIGHT TO FARM ACT, WHERE BASICALLY, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS LIKE THE VILLAGE CAN'T. INTERFERE OR REGULATE WHEN THEY ARE ENGAGING IN ONE OF THEIR BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. AND WHILE IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE THAT, IT, IS IT IT IS ONE THAT'S APPROVED BY THE STATE AND SO ON, SO THERE MAY BE PROBLEMS THERE. BUT AS A PRACTICAL MATTER, WE WOULD HAVE ANY AUTHORITY OVER THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY SUGAR CANE FIELDS IN THE VILLAGE, AND THAT'S WHAT I KIND OF FIGURED, BUT I KNOW THAT WITH THE CONTROLLED BURNS AND THE PROPERTY THAT WE DO HAVE. T O LOOK INTO THAT SO, YEAH, I THINK YOU KNOW. I DON'T THINK IT'LL HURT TO KIND OF GET AHEAD OF IT AS WE'RE GROWING AND AGAIN LOOKING DOWN THE ROAD WE'RE PLANNING FOR 40 AND 50 YEARS SO. I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA. TOE LOOK INTO THAT, MADAME MAYOR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR CLARKE.NO, WAIT, ANSWERED. WHAT'S THAT? COUNT ME IN BALANCE. YOU HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AS AMENDED, SO MOVE FOR APPROVAL WITH THE NECESSARY CHANGES. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND HAVING DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT. MADAM MAYOR. ROLL CALL, PLEASE. COUNCIL MEMBER, DARLING I COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS NO COUNCIL MEMBERS DOWN. YES, VICE MAYOR CLARKE. YES MAYOR HERNANDEZ. YES. MR VILLAGE MANAGER. ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, PLEASE.

]DON'T NUMBER EIGHT. MADAM MAYOR IS A ZOO. YOU KNOW, WE PURCHASED THE WATER AND SEWER PLANT BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2020. AND SINCE THAT TIME. AH, WE ARE REQUIRED TO UPDATE OUR CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS PLAN. AND IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, WE HAD TO RETAIN THE ASSISTANCE OF A CONSULTANT OF BLUE SKIES, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. THEY WERE CONTRACTING TO UPDATE OUR COOP, AND WE HAVE I BELIEVE, MR RIGHT? UM. MR RIGHT, MR WOMBLE HERE AND IF THEY COULD JUST GIVE US A BRIEF PRESENTATION. AIR COUNCIL MEMBERS. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS PAUL ON ONE. THEY'VE BEEN THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR BLUE SKIES, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO UPDATE YOUR COMPANY OF OPERATIONS PLAN. WE'LL TAKE UP A LOT OF YOUR TIME. YOU HAD A GOOD PLAN TO BEGIN WITH THE EXPANSION OF UTILITIES, STAFF CHANGES OR CHART CHANGES. WE UPDATED THAT PLAN.

Fire Rescue/EMS Services Update
]MANAGER? YES I'M NUMBER 14 WAS REQUESTED BY COUNCILWOMAN KEEPS THOMAS. OKAY? OKAY. THANK YOU.WHAT PROMPTED THIS AGENDA ITEM WAS DURING THE VILLAGE MANAGER COMMENTS OF OUR LAST MEETING ON MARCH, THE 25TH. OF OUR COUNCIL MEETING. MR. BROWN GAVE A QUICK UPDATE ON FIRE RESCUE AND STATED IF HE DIDN'T HEAR FROM COUNSEL, HE WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THE OPTION FOR HYBRID MODEL THAT WAS CHOSEN AT THE FEBRUARY 27TH BY RESCUE MEETING. UM. AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THINGS WERE REALLY CLEAR AND EVERYBODY UNDERSTOOD. AND YOU KNOW, THIS COUNCIL HAS TAKEN THE STEPS AND HAVE DONE THE DUE DILIGENCE THAT WE'VE BEEN TASKED TO DO.
TO RESEARCH. ON DETERMINED THE COST OF CREATING OUR OWN FIRE RESCUE. AND DOING SO, AND I KNOW WE WE'VE SAID IT AND EVERYBODY SAID IT. UM AH. LOT OF INFORMATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD AND THE MANY MOVING PARTS AND THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS. AND THEN THERE'S STILL ISSUES THAT WE STILL DON'T FULLY REALIZE. THE SAVINGS OF MILLIONS. THAT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD AND PROPOSED IN THE FEASIBILITY STUDY. WITH OUR OWN FIRE RESCUE. HAS BEEN PROVEN IT'S NOT THEIR MILLIONS OR NOT THERE. THE OPTIONS AND NUMBERS THAT MR ICONA PRESENTED.
WE CHOSE OPTION NUMBER FOUR. WITH A FIRST AND THESE REPRESENTED AT THAT. FEBRUARY 27TH MEETING. OUR FIRST YEAR COST OF SIX MILLION PLUS. AND THEN GOING FORWARD AFTER THAT, EACH YEAR WOULD BE 4.8 MILLION. AND WE'VE DISCOVERED MANY LITTLE CAVEATS WITH THAT. BUT THE BIG ONE ALSO IS THERE AFTER WE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TPP PAYMENT. THAT IS USUALLY.
HE GETS PAID OUT OF THAT. THAT TAX, WHICH THIS YEAR WAS 783? $1000 SO WE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT SO ONGOING YEARLY YOU HAVE ABOUT 5.5 MILLION RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE WILL HAVE TO DO OUR OWN. DO OUR OWN FIRE RESCUE AND THIS PAST YEAR WE PAID 5.3 MILLION WITH MARTIN COUNTY. SO, UM, I THINK US DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND HAVE BROUGHT OUT THE FAX AND.
HAVING DONE OUR HOMEWORK. IT'S BEEN INDICATED. ALSO IN CORRESPONDENCE BY THE COUNTY THAT THERE IS ROOM TO STILL SHARPEN THE PENCIL A LITTLE FURTHER ON THOSE NUMBERS, SO. I LOOK FORWARD TO TUESDAY'S COMMISSION MEETING THAT HAS THE FIRE RESCUE ISSUE ON IT AND. IT GIVES BOTH BOARDS AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE BEST FOR ALL THE RESIDENTS IN THE COUNTY AND END IN INDIAN TOWN. AND I KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN INDICATED BY THIS COUNCIL THAT YOU KNOW, FOR YEARS WE WERE UM. WE WERE KIND OF ON THE BACK BURNER. WE WERE NOT. ISSUED OR WE WERE NOT DEALT WITH. WE FEEL LIKE THE SAME WAY AND THAT WAS A BIG INDICATOR OR A BIG. GUESS RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVERYBODY WANTING TO HAVE OUR OWN MUNICIPALITY SO WE COULD TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES. AND I THINK ONCE AGAIN, UM. THAT WAS THAT WAS A DIFFERENT COUNSEL THAN WHAT WE'VE HAD. I MEAN, A COMMISSION COUNTY COMMISSION.
UM I APPRECIATE THE WILLINGNESS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND SHARPEN A PENCIL AND GET THE
[02:15:01]
BEST THAT WE CAN FOR INDIAN TOWN. AND WE'RE IN IT. IT'S A DIFFERENT DAY. IT'S A NEW DAY MOVING FORWARD, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD EVERYTHING OUT ON THE TABLE.AND, UM AS WE MOVE FORWARD. THAT WAS THE REASON THAT I REQUESTED TO BE PUT ON THERE.
OKAY. DOES ANYONE HAVE. COUNCILMAN DARLING. YEAH, THANK YOU. UM AND I APPRECIATE THAT.
THAT THOSE COMMENTS FROM MY FELLOW COLLEAGUE I JUST WANTED TO REMIND. THE PUBLIC AND THE FOLKS WHO CAN HEAR ME THE BASIC HISTORY THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THE COUNTY HAS A RELATION FIRE RESCUE. UM. THIS COUNCIL VOTED WITH ME DESCENDING VOTED TO SEND A LETTER. TO STACY HERRINGTON, WHO'S THE CHAIR OF THE MARTIN COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ON MARCH THE THIRD. ON DISSES CONVERSATIONS AFTER WE HAD DISCOVERED THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN AT THE AT THE 11TH HOUR THERE WAS SOME ROOM FOR NEGOTIATION. COUNCIL MEMBER BROUGHT THAT INFORMATION TO US WAS SURPRISED THAT THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT BROUGHT TO THE STAFF PRIOR TO OUR FIRE IN ME ARE FIRE RESCUE. CONVERSATION LAST MONTH OR THE MONTH BEFORE. SO THIS COUNCIL DECIDED TO WRITE A LETTER TOE. ASK FOR NEGOTIATIONS AFTER WE HAD DISCOVERED THAT. UM AH, YEAR AFTER AFTER THE BURGER PARK FIRE STATION, AND THE PART WAS TURNED OVER TO THE COUNCIL.
WE AH, YEAR LATER, THEY COME BACK TO CHANGE THE DEED TO WHERE WE CANNOT EVEN USE THE BUILDING. OR FIRE RESCUE AND SO TO ME THAT SPOKE VOLUMES BECAUSE I WOULD THINK THAT A COUNTY THE COUNTY WOULD WANT TO HELP US. UM AS WE ARE BECOMING, UM, WHO WERE BECOMING AS THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, BUT. ME JUST MY OBSERVATION. IT APPEARS THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO STOP WHAT WE'RE DOING. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN AS WE TALK ABOUT FIRE RESCUE IN ONE OF OUR MEETINGS, WE DISCOVERED THAT. THERE WAS ROOM FOR NEGOTIATION. SO HAD THE CONVERSATION. THE LETTER WAS TYPED. I VOTED AGAINST IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN IT ON. I STILL DON'T BUT I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS RECEIVED A THE FORWARD EMAIL FROM TERROR.
CHRIS IS THAT SPECIFICALLY SAID THAT THERE IS NO ROOM FOR NEGOTIATING NEGOTIATION, SO. UM SO I THINK THAT THIS COUNCIL NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING WITH THE OPTION FOR AND WE SPREAD THE SPREAD AS MUCH INFORMATION AS WE CAN, BECAUSE, UH, TO ME, JUST TO ME. IT APPEARS THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN GETTING. WHAT WE NEED FROM THE COUNTY AND SO AS THIS AS AS THE LAWMAKERS OF THIS COMMUNITY, WE HAVE TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR THIS COMMUNITY. AND SO WITH THE NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE SCOPED OUT AND HAS BEEN RESEARCH FROM QUALIFIED PEOPLE, I THINK WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. AND I'LL SAY THIS AND THEN I'LL SHUT UP. THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A BIT OF THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING AS THE COUNCIL THAT EVERYBODY HAS TOLD US THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE DOING. I'M WON'T BORE YOU WITH THE LIST BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING. THAT WE TALK ABOUT THAT WE WANT TO DO EVERYBODY'S SAYING NO TO IT, BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IS JUST LIKE JANET HAS MENTIONED IN. SOME OF THE RESIDENTS HAVE EXPRESSED TONIGHT IS THAT BASICALLY CHANGES THAT ARE HAPPENING THIS IN THIS COMMUNITY AND IF THIS FIRE RESCUE WHICH WE'VE ALREADY SPOKEN AND PROVEN THAT WE WILL HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE OR BETTER. UM UM, FOR CHEAPER. UH UM. OUR JOB IS JUST TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE I THINK THERE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE PEOPLE TO SAY NO TO WHAT YOU'RE DOING. BUT I WOULD ASK THEM. WHAT IS YOUR ALTERNATIVE? WHAT WHAT? WHAT DO YOU COME TO THE TABLE? BECAUSE WE JUST HAD PEOPLE FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. JUST SAY NO, NO, NO, NO. NO BUT HAVEN'T OFFERED NOT ONE SUGGESTION ON THE MAKE THIS BETTER. THEY HAVE OFFERED TO FIRE OUR CITY MANAGER OR THAT WE PROMOTE THAT WE FIRE HIM, INCLUDING AND I GOT A MESSAGE, SENDING, GOING AROUND TOWN HAVING YARD SIGNS THAT SAYS THAT WE NEED TO GET RID OF. GET RID OF THE CITY MANAGER IF THEY ARE PUTTING SO MUCH EFFORT INTO INTO GETTING RID OF HIM, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE DOING AS A COUNCIL. THAT'S RIGHT TO ME AGAIN. THIS IS ONLY MY PURVIEW. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE THIS COUNCIL TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE GREAT CONVERSATION THAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE ON SATURDAY.
[02:20:01]
UM ABOUT FIVE YEAR RESCUE AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT WERE PLANNING THE SET OUT S O, UM AS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD, UM. I'VE SEEN THIS HAPPEN WITH OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS. WE ARE CONTINUING TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE AND THE RESIDENTS TO ATTEND. I KNOW I POST EVERY COUNCIL MEETING. I POST ALL THE INFORMATION OUT THERE SO THAT THE RESIDENTS CAN ATTEND, BUT IT'S STARTING TO APPEAR THAT THIS IS SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DEEPER AND AS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD, I JUST ENCOURAGED THIS COUNCIL TOO. UM, CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. CONTINUE TO DO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING, BECAUSE AS LONG AS WE ARE SERVING THIS COMMUNITY FOR THE BETTER. AND I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT WE HAVE THE SUPPORT. THE MAJORITY OF THIS COMMUNITY. THIS IS WHY WE INCORPORATED AND AGAIN I SAY IT ALL THE TIME. I WAS A PART OF THE INITIALS CONVERSATION WALKED THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. SO THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS MY HOME. MY GRAND PARENTS MOVED HERE IN THE EARLY FORTIES, SO I DON'T THINK ANYBODY IS TRYING TO ATTENTION REALLY HURT MY NEIGHBORS AND MY COUSINS AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS THAT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME. BUT IT IS APPEARING THAT THERE IS SOME UNDERLINING, UM. CONCERNS THAT THAT ARE THAT ARE NOW COMING TO THE SURFACE. AND SO I LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE BEING EXPOSED AS WE MOVE FORWARD AS A COUNCIL, BUT I THINK THAT THIS COUNCIL UM AZIZ, ONE OF THE RESIDENTS HAS SAID I THINK THIS COUNCIL UM HAS A CLEAR VISION OF WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GO. AND I THINK WE'RE MOVING THERE. UM AND, UH, FOR THE FOLKS WHO ARE THE NAYSAYERS. AND I WAS THE ONE THAT SAID IT FOR THE FOLKS WHO ARE THE NAYSAYERS. UM YOU CAN GET WITH US OR OR YOU CAN CONTINUE TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING,■ WHICH IS NOT PROVIDE PROVIDING IN THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE, SO I JUST WANTED TO JUST SHARE THAT AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE. THERE'S A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT JUST DOESN'T WANT ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THIS COMMUNITY. BUT OUR JOB AS ELECTED OFFICIALS IS TOE TO SERVE EVERY RESIDENT THAT'S IN THE BOUNDARY. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THAT. AND WITH THAT, MADAM MAYOR, I YOU THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS? YES, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR COUNCILWOMAN SUSAN GIBBS. SO WHO'S GONNA BE CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS FOR US SINCE WE PAID A CONSULTANT TO DO THE NUMBERS FOR US? CAN YOU EVEN LIKE ME? I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M ADVOCATING.WAIT A MINUTE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU YEARS AND HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT INFORMATION YET. I'M SORRY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION. WHAT NUMBER'S THAT SOMEBODY'S GONNA BE A BUNCH OF NUMBERS CAUSE OUR CONSULTANT NUMBERS IS NOT TRUE. YOU SAID YOU LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT WEEK. I'M ASKING YOU WHO CRUNCHING NUMBERS FOR US. NO, I THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID.
WHAT I SAID. THAT'S WHY MASK OKAY, THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. WHAT I SAID WOZ. ME. MAKE SURE I GET EXACTLY WHAT I SAID. THAT IT HAS BEEN INDICATED IN CORRESPONDENCE BY THE COUNTY THAT THERE IS ROOM TO SHARPEN THE PENCIL. AND GET A LITTLE FURTHER ALONG ON THOSE NUMBERS THAT COULD COME BACK TO US TO MAKE IT CHEAPER. THAT'S WHAT I SAID. WITHOUT EVEN DOING THAT.
IT COST US $5.3 MILLION LAST YEAR. AND THAT IS CHEAPER THAN WHAT OUR CONSULTANT HAS SAID.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AND WHAT WE WOULD BE PAYING, IT'S CHEAPER THAN WHAT WE WOULD BE PAYING. DOING OUR OWN. WILL INDICATE MOVE FOR US TO COUNTY AND ALL HONESTY HAVE NOT GIVEN US WHAT BIN HAS BEEN REQUESTED, AND THERE'S NOTHING TO THE COUNTY FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY THE RESIDENT. IN SUCH A FOG THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET LESS A SERVICE. SO IF THE EMILY OR FIRE PEOPLE HAD TO GO TO CLEMENS BEFORE. OKAY S SO HOW LONG YOU THINK IT'S GONNA TAKE FOR BACKUP? IF SOMETHING HAPPENS? YOU'RE IN YOUR GOOD IF THAT ONE IS OUT THERE, I'M JUST SINGING. AND I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT IT IS STILL CHEAPER TO STAY WITH THE COUNTY THAN TO DO OUR OWN. AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE WHOLE WHOLE POINT OF US DOING THIS AND DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND WE FOUND OUT IT IS NOT GONNA BE CHEAPER FOR US TO DO OUR OWN. THAT'S JUST THE POINT THAT I'M MAKING. RIGHT AND EVEN TRIED TO DO THAT.
DON'T AGREE, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ALL THE DOCTOR THE DATA FROM THE COUNTY. THAT'S WHY I DON'T AGREE. BEING FAILURE. VICE MAYOR CLARKE COUNCILMAN DOLLY YEAH, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I'M NOT SURE WHAT REPORT THAT COUNSEL COUNCIL WOMAN, GIBBS, TOMAS'S REFERRING TO BUT IF YOU GUYS IF YOU ALL WERE HERE. UM, AT THAT AT THAT CONVERSATION, UM, EVERY OPTION
[02:25:07]
THAT WE CHOSE, UM, WAS A PRICE REDUCTION, SO I'M NOT SURE THAT INFORMATION THAT YOU'RE GATHERING AND I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT. THAT WE ASKED THE GOVERNING BODY. MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE SHARING THE CORRECT AND ACCURATE INFORMATION WITH THE PUBLIC BECAUSE I THINK. WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF THIS COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CORRECT INFORMATION IS GOING OUT. SO IF YOU WOULD CARE TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION, SEND THAT TO HOWARD TO SOMETHING SO THAT I CAN SEE IT. BUT, UM I, UH. THAT'S NOT THE NUMBERS THAT I SAW WHEN I WAS IN THAT CONVERSATION, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ANY COMMENTS TO THAT. BUT I THINK THAT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO KNOW IT'S HARD TO EVEN HAVE THE CONVERSATION IF WE'RE NOT. ALL GREEN ON THE SAME FACTS. SO IF YOU COULD, AND I'M A MAN, I'M ASKING YOU. YEAH PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME THAT BECAUSE THAT WAY I CAN I CAN LEARN. AND IF THIS DOESN'T WORK, AND I'VE SAID THIS IF THIS IS NOT THE BEST OPTION. THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. THEN WE'LL TRY SOMETHING ELSE AGAIN. I DON'T THINK THERE ARE ANY OF THESE COUNCIL MEMBERS HERE ARE TRYING TO INTENTIONALLY HURT ANY RESIDENT AND OUTSIDE OF THIS COMMUNITY AGAIN. WE HAVE FAMILY TIES HERE AND PEOPLE KEEP. REQUIRING THAT YOU GOT TO OWN A HOUSE HERE. THAT'S NOT ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE ON THE COUNCIL. AND JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T OWN A HOUSE DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU ARE LESS QUALIFIED TO SERVE AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, OR ANY OF THE COMMITTEES THAT WE ANY OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE IS THAT WE HAVE. IN THE VILLAGE.SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE FOLKS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO PROPER GOVERNMENT ARE GETTING IDEAS FROM WHAT THEY THINK THEY KNOW. AND THIS IS WHY WE ENCOURAGE. ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS TO JOIN US. I GOT WE GOT A RESIDENT HERE TONIGHT. SHE'S HERE EVERY TIME I'M HERE.
AND SHE HAS, AND SHE'S ABLE TO SPEAK TO WHAT IS HAPPENING SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE OUR RESIDENTS COME SIT IN HERE WAY HAVE REPRESENTATIVE FROM FROM FROM MACAQUE. REMEMBER THE MPO DAVID HAFNER SITTING HERE? SO WHILE WHILE FOLKS ARE AGAIN SAYING NO TO EVERYTHING, COME AND SEE WAS WHAT'S HAPPENING BECAUSE I THINK YOU WHAT WANT TO JOIN. US WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO, I WOULD ENCOURAGE THAT. AND THEN ALSO TO SUSAN JUST WANTED TO REITERATE THAT WHATEVER INFORMATION YOU HAVE, THAT MAY BE ABLE TO ENLIGHTEN US. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN DOWLING AND. GENTLEMEN. STONE DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING BEFORE I GO? I'M JUST READY TO GO. OKAY? AND JUST TONTO PIGGYBACK ON ON COUNT COUNCILMAN. VALLEY AND VICE MAYOR. UM YOU KNOW, WE RECEIVED A EMAIL IT WAS FORWARDED. ON APRIL 5TH TO US FROM MR BROWN ON THAT IS FROM MS ADMINISTRATOR, MS CHRISTINA. AND IT SAYS THERE IS NO ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE. I HAVE AFTER WE RECEIVED THAT LETTER. I HAD AN INFORMATIONAL SESSION. UM, IT WAS INFORMATIONAL ON LEE. IT WAS DECLARED LIKE THAT. THEY MADE SURE THAT YOU KNOW, I WAS AWARE THAT THIS WAS NOT NEGOTIATION. UM, I DID HAVE MR BROWN UH, ON THE ZOOM CALL, JUST BECAUSE IF THEY HAD THEIR STAFF THERE, I SHOULD HAVE MY STAFF. THEY'RE ESPECIALLY IF MY STAFF MEMBER IS THE ONE THAT'S DOING THE EVERYDAY OPERATIONS. AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IT WAS JUST AH, CONVERSATION WHERE THEY'RE TRYING TO CONVINCE ME TO NOT, UM DO NOT. APART FROM ORANGE COUNTY FIRE RESCUE. AND WELL, I APPRECIATE THE INTENTION, BUT, YOU KNOW. COMMISSIONER JENKINS IS JUST ONE OUT OF FIVE AND YOU PROBABLY NEED THREE COMMISSIONERS. UM AND THAT'S IN SEVERAL UM. SEVERAL EMAILS. YOU KNOW, MS. MOST TARAN HAS STATED THAT YOU KNOW, THE BOARD IS THE ONE THAT. HAS ABILITY TO AND, UM. I'M JUST LOOKING FORWARD FOR THE CONVERSATION FOR NEXT TUESDAY, BUT. ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO ASK STUFF. I KNOW MR HAMA. SURE OF MR ICAHN IS ON THE LINE, BUT, UM, HE REALLY MENTIONED TO US WHEN HE PRESENTED THOSE NUMBERS THAT.
[02:30:03]
IT WAS A CONSERVATIVE. HE WASN'T GOING TO BE EXACT. BECAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. YOU CAN GET THINGS UNDER BUDGET. EXACTLY BUDGET A LITTLE BIT. AH, DOLLAR OVER $2 OVER. SO HE REALLY DID MENTION THAT YOU KNOW THERE. THAT HE MADE SURE THAT THERE WAS A AH CONTINGENCY OR THERE'S IT WAS CONSERVATIVE NUMBERS. HE DIDN'T SAY THEY WERE GOING TO BE EXACT. WE WOULDN'T KNOW UNTIL LIKE THE GUY FROM CITY OF PLACENTIA.MOVES MR LEWIS, WHO? DAVE WHEN CITY OF PLACENTIA, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WENT THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS, AND THEY WENT THROUGH THE SAME DEAL WHERE THEY HAD THE PUBLIC. UM YOU KNOW, WE'RE GUIDED WITH MISINFORMATION. UM THEY HAD, UH, THEY WENT THROUGH A HUGE DEAL. THE COUNTY WAS DOING THE SAME THING TO THEM. AND THEY ENDED UP. DOING THE SAME THING, WHICH IS DOING DEPARTING FROM THE COUNTY, AND THEY SAW THE NUMBERS. UH IN. EVEN. WITH THEIR PROJECTIONS.
IT WAS UNDER THE PRODUCTIONS AND YOU KNOW, MR ICONA, I SPOKE TO HIM ON MONDAY. IT WAS AN HOUR LONG. I HAD DIFFERENT QUESTIONS BECAUSE I AM ONE OF THOSE THAT. MAKE SURE I KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT'S NOT. I DON'T KNOW. I MAKE MYSELF AWARE OFF. WHAT THE CONVERSATION IS AND REGARDS OF, UM. THE FIRE RESCUE AND LIKE MR COUNCILMAN'S DARLING SAID, YOU KNOW, I'VE LIVED HERE FOR THE LAST 29 YEARS, AND MY INTENTION IS NOT TO HURT THE VILLAGE.
IT'S TO HELP THE VILLAGE BECAUSE. THESE PEOPLE THAT PROBABLY DISAGREE SOMETIMES WITH US AND YOU KNOW, WE WON'T HAVE EVERYONE AGREEING WITH US. BUT THERE IS. I HAVE FAMILY HERE. I HAVE A LOT OF FAMILY HERE. HAVE A FOUR YEAR OLD MEAT KNEES. I'M 29 BY THE TIME YOU KNOW. THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE 50 60 PASSED AWAY. I'M STILL GOING TO BE HERE. I'M STILL GOING TO RAISE MY FAMILY HERE. I STILL HAVE TO GET MARRIED AND HAVE CHILDREN AND THEY'RE GONNA.
KNOW HOW TOE THEY'RE STILL GONNA HAVE TO LIVE IN IN THE IN TOWN. I HAVE A FOUR YEAR OLD. I HAVE A FOUR YEAR OLD NIECE THAT WILL, YOU KNOW? I HOPE SHE LIVES IN YOUR TOWN AS I DO, BECAUSE EVERY TIME I SEE PEOPLE WANTING TO LEAVE INDIAN TONE, AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE, BUT. YOU KNOW, I LOVE INDIAN TOWN AND THIS IS NOT, UH, TO HURT THE VILLAGE BECAUSE. YOU KNOW, MY PARENTS WOULD BE AFFECTED OUR OUR FAMILIES WOULD BE AFFECTED. OUR FRIENDS WOULD BE AFFECTED.
OUR CHURCH MEMBERS WOULD BE AFFECTED. WE WOULD BE AFFECTED. YES. UNFORTUNATELY AH, LOT OF PEOPLE ALWAYS COME UP WITH MR BROWN DOESN'T LIVE IN THE VILLAGE. YOUR STAFF DOESN'T LIVE IN THE VILLAGE. BUT HERE WE DO. AND THIRD, JUST GIVING US THE INFORMATION IN THERE.
THEY'RE GOING ABOUT WITH WHAT THE COUNCIL HAS DIRECTED, UM, AND ONE OF THE METAPHORS I ASKED, I TOLD PEOPLE IS WHAT DO YOU TELL ANY OF THE PRINCIPALS AT THE LOCAL SCHOOLS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT FROM INDIAN TOWN, THE LOCALS AND THERE'S LOCAL SCHOOL TEACHERS. THERE ARE NOT FROM ANY IN TOWN. WOULD YOU TELL THEM? NO, YOU CAN'T TEACH HER IT ANYTIME MIDDLE SCHOOL BECAUSE WE'RE AT WAR FIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIVE HERE. IT'S. IT'S RIDICULOUS BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU THAT I HAVE A LOT OF TEACHERS THAT I APPRECIATE THAT HAVE RETIRED MISS JEANNIE LONG TIME TEACHER. AND SHE LIVES IN JUPITER FARMS. SO YOU KNOW, DEEP THINGS OF SAYING THAT THE FIRE RESCUE WE'VE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE. UM. THIS IS NOT TO DISCREDIT ANYONE, BUT IT'S JUST WE HAVE MR ICONA THAT HAS DONE THIS FOR 30 YEARS. THAT'S DEMAND LIKE. I'VE NEVER BEEN A FIRE CHIEF, BUT HE HAS RIGHT, MR BROWN. HE'S BEEN A FIRE CHIEF. THE HAVE YOU BEEN A FIRE CHIEF? GENTLEMAN DARLING, AND MY DREAMS. HAVE YOU BEEN A FIRE? KIM OH, SO THEY HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AND. YOU KNOW, VISITING THE FIRE STATIONS DOWN AND HIGHLANDS WAS IT HIGHLANDS COUNTY, HIGHLANDS COUNTY AND GETTING MR BUT SURE, CHIEF
[02:35:05]
BAYSHORE AND TELLING AND HE ACTUALLY TOLD US SOMETHING REALLY AMAZING THAT HE WAS LIKE. YOU GUYS HAVE GOLD WITH WATER SYSTEM AND WE HAD PEOPLE TELLING US WE SHOULDN'T HAVE.BUT BUT THE WATER SYSTEM SO PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS SAY NO, NO, NO. BUT. THIS IS JUST FOR THE BETTERMENT OF ANY IN TOWN. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO THE COUNTY COMMISSIONS CONVERSATION. BUT IT SEEMS THAT WITH DIFFERENT EMAILS AND THE ONLY. BLACK FIRE STATION THAT WAS IN BOCA PARK.
YOU KNOW, THEY WERE REALLY IT WAS REALLY EASY FOR THEM TO HAND IT OFF TO THE VILLAGE OF ANY IN TOWN. WHEN IT WAS LET'S HAND THE PARK STUDENT, BUT NOW THAT WE WANT TO HAVE LIKE A TEMPORARY HOME FOR OUR FIRE STATION, THEY WENT AHEAD AND. YOU KNOW, PUT A LIMITATION IS IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT'S IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. AND YOU? YOU NEVER WANTED IT NEVER WANTED IT SINCE DAY ONE. SO. THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW SOME. THERE'S CONVERSATIONS THAT THE PUBLIC DOESN'T KNOW THAT HAPPENED IN THE BACKGROUND. BUT. I'M NOT. I WAS ELECTED TO NOT. I KNOW THERE'S PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE AFRAID TO SAY. THAT THEY SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO HAVE AH, GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COUNTY. WITH THE COUNTY COMMISSION. I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE GOING, THAT'S THAT'S YOUR RIGHT. BUT I WASN'T HERE TO HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH EVERYONE. I WAS I WAS I WAS ELECTED TO DO THE HARD THING. AND EVEN IF IT'S GONNA RUB THE WRONG WAY AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE CAN HASH IT OUT.
HOWEVER. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT'S MY PIECE ON ON THAT, AND I DO SEE THERE'S TWO COMMENTS. UM. THEY'RE ONTO. YES I'M REALLY SORRY. TAU INTERRUPT. TONIGHT I'VE BEEN I'VE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME, WHETHER THE JUMP IN IT ALL BEFORE YOU GO TO PUBLIC. I WANT OFFER JUST LITTLE CLARIFICATION FOR ONE THING, AND I'LL TELL YOU PRIMARILY WHY. I DON'T WANT IT TO BE A RHETORICAL DISTRACTION AT WHAT I WOULD HOPE MAYBE A PRODUCTIVE MEETING AT THE BORDER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON TUESDAY AND SO ON. WE'VE REFERENCED THE BOOK OF PARK FIRE STATION. A NUMBER OF TIMES I WANNA. GONNA ADD A LITTLE NUANCE AND THEN GIVE YOU A THOUGHT FOR THE FUTURE. WITH REGARD TO IT. ALL RIGHT, SO IT'S GENERALLY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT YOU ALL BEEN SAYING, BUT I WANT I WANT TO ADD A LITTLE BIT MORE NUANCED BECAUSE BE QUITE PLAIN THERE, FOLKS LISTENING. AND IF THERE ISN'T. CLARIFICATION ADDED TO IT.
THAT'S ALL YOU'LL TALK ABOUT ON TUESDAY, AND THAT'S THAT WOULD NOT BE PRODUCTIVE FOR THE VILLAGE. SO UM, IF YOU'LL RECALL WE, UM WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GETTING TRANSFERRED TO THE VILLAGE, THE PARKS THERE WITHIN THE VILLAGE. WE HAD A WHOLE BUNCH OF NEGOTIATIONS CONCERNING THAT HIS TIME OF POWERS PART GOING TO BE ONE OF THE PARK. SHE ASKED NOW, ALL THESE THINGS LONG TIME. THAT WAS ALL END UP BEING SUMMARIZED IN AN INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT, OKAY? ULTIMATELY. WHAT ENDED UP GETTING PUT IN THAT INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT. AT THAT TIME. WIN.
UM. THERE WAS SOME CONCERN THAT HAD ARISEN. BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONCERNING.
THE PARKS PARKS. OKAY UM ABOUT WELL WILL THE VILLAGE GET CREATIVE? AND YOU KNOW, DO SOME SORT OF DEAL ON THIS OR THAT OR WHATEVER, AND MODIFY THE SIZE OF THE PARKS, YOU KNOW, WITH SOMETHING ELSE DO A LAND SWAP OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. NO. WHICH I WILL TELL YOU IS THAT IS A COMMON CREATIVE THING, BUT THEY WEREN'T PARTICULARLY KEEN ON THAT. AS I RECALL, THEY.
INSISTED AS PART OF THE TRANSFER THAT THEY PUT IN LANGUAGE IN THE OTHER LOCAL AGREEMENT THAT IT WOULD BE THAT ALL THE LANDS TRANSFERRED WOULD BE RESERVED. AND I DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOU, BUT BASICALLY FOR PARKS AND RECREATIONAL USE, OKAY? I WAS IN THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT. THEN IT CAME TO BAY. THAT GIVE YOU AH, GO AHEAD AND SORT OF DOWN THAN GOD. THAT WAS IN THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT. OKAY. THEY CAME TO BE THE COUNTY. UH DID ALL OF THE DEEDS TO TRANSFER THE PROPERTY OKAY, WITH REGARD TO A NUMBER OF THE PARK'S PROPERTIES. THEY PUT THAT RESTRICTION RIGHT IN THE DEEP. OKAY? WITH REGARD TO THE DEED THAT ORIGINALLY TRANSFERRED THE BOOK OF PARK FIRE STATION. THAT RESTRICTION WAS NOT PUT IN THE DATE. OKAY, AND THAT WAS RECORDED AND THERE IT WAS. SUBSEQUENTLY ANA AGAIN,
[02:40:09]
REMEMBER ALL THIS HAPPENS IN SYRIA'S IN TIME, OKAY? BACK IN THAT SUMMER, WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE TRANSFER OF ALL THIS STUFF FROM THE COUNTY TO THE VILLAGE. WE DID NOT HAVE ANY CONVERSATION, OTHER COUNCIL LEVEL OR STAFF LOVE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. ON THE IDEA OF AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF STARTING UP THE VILLAGE FIRE SERVICE OF USING THE BOOK OF PARK FIRE STATION AS A FIRE STATION, ALL RIGHT, SO THAT WAS NOT A PIECE ON THE TABLE AT THAT POINT.AFTER THE DEED WAS RECORDED. THAT DIDN'T HAVE THAT RESTRICTION ON THE FACE OF THE DEED. THERE WERE DISCUSSIONS PUBLICLY CONCERNING THAT AMONG THE VILLAGE. I THINK IN PERHAPS A COUNCIL MEETING. UM. AS IT'S BEEN COMMUNICATED TO MAY. WHEN IT WAS WHEN THE COUNTY LEARNED THAT. IT WAS BEING CONTEMPLATED THAT THE VILLAGE IS PART OF FACILITATING STARTING UP THEIR OWN FIRE SERVICE THAT THERE WAS CONTEMPLATION OF USING THE BOOKER PART. PARK FIRE STATION.
THAT SUBSEQUENT TO LEARNING THAT. IS WHEN THE COUNTY WENT BACK AND RECORDED THAT CORRECTIVE DEED. WEAKEN. YEAH YOU CAN TAKE YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS AS TO WHAT THEY WERE SEEKING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH REGARD TO THAT THAT TIME SYRIA'S OF EVENTS. OKAY? THE LAST THING I WOULD TELL YOU WITH REGARD TO THAT. IS, IT REMAINS THE CASE. THAT AT ANY TIME. THE BORDER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COULD SAY. WE HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL WITH YOU USING THE BOOKMARK FIRE STATION AS A FIRE STATION. JUST WANT TO PUT THAT INTO YOUR HEAD. THAT REMAINS COMPLETELY WITHIN THE AUTHORITY OF THE PORTER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO SAY. OH, YEAH, WE HAVE. NO PROBLEM WITH INDIAN TOWN USING IT FOR THAT. THAT IS AN OPTION THEY HAVE AVAILABLE TO THEM AT ANY POINT. SO SORRY FOR THE LONG WITNESS WITNESS YET? YES, PLEASE. AND I JUST PRICK LARRY IFICATION TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS THAT IN HER LOCAL AGREEMENT THAT YOU TALK ABOUT. WE WERE A PARTY TO HASHING THAT OUT. WE WERE AWARE OF THAT WHEN WE. SIGNED THAT IN OUR LOCAL AGREEMENT AND WE AS A COUNCIL AGREED TO, AND DID WE PASS THAT AS THE COUNCIL? YES, YOU DID. OKAY, SO THAT WAS IN THERE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. THAT WAS THAT WAS IN THEIR WIN WHEN THE INTER LOCAL WAS PASSED, YES, AND THE VILLAGE WAS A PART OF THAT HASHING IT OUT AND IN ORDER, IT JUST DIDN'T COME TO US AND SAY THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GIVING YOU. WE WERE A PART OF THAT THAT PROCESS THAT IS GREAT. RIGHT? THERE IS. PULL A COMMENT ON JUNE. YES, MADAM. LIKE THE FIRST, UH, VICE, I SWEAR, CLARK, SORRY. SO WAIT. IT WAS IN THAT CONTRACT BECAUSE OF OUR CALL NOW. YOU CAN DO YOU SAY THAT THEY COULD USUALLY THEY WILL COME BACK AND CHANGE AND BOOK. THE POINT IS. IT WAS BROUGHT TODAY A TEACHER BEFORE IT WAS SIGNED. SO TO ME, I UNDERSTAND YOU. YOU GIVING CLARITY? YES WE DID IT BECAUSE YOU ARE OUR ATTORNEY. BUT I'M JUST SAYING, MAYBE BASED ON THAT. NOW YOU CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. I'M JUST SAYING. YES, THE. THE TIMING OF IT ALL, WOZ. WHEN WE WERE FOCUSED ON ALL OF THAT WE WERE NOT FOCUSED ON SETTING UP FIRE SYSTEM WERE FOCUSED ON GETTING TRANSFER PARKS. IT'S REALLY WHAT IT WAS, AND IT WAS. IT WAS KIND OF AN AD ON IN THE DISCUSSION. HEY, Y'ALL DOING ANYTHING WITH THE BOOK OF MARK FIRE STATION IS WELL, NOW WE'LL THROW THAT IN THE LIST OF ALL THE PROPERTY BEING TRANSFERRED WITH PARKS. AND SO THAT ENDED UP IN THE IN THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT FOR THAT TRANSFER OF THAT PROPERTY. OKAY THEN THEY RECORDED THE DEEDS FOR IT. THE DEED FOR THE BOOK PARK FIRE STATION DIDN'T INCLUDE THAT LANGUAGE, EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T THE INNER LOCAL. THEN STEP THREE. WE START THINKING START THINKING CREATIVELY. HEY. WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT SETTING UP THE FIRE STATION. HEY, WE OWN A FIRE STATION. MAYBE WE CAN USE A BOOKMARK FIRE STATION FOR THIS. STEP FOUR. COUNTY AFTER HEARING THAT RECORDED A CORRECTIVE DITTE YEAH. IT WAS WITH THEM. IT WAS IN WITH THE RIGHT BECAUSE THE INTERNET PEOPLE I AM CONCEDING THAT LEGALLY SHADE. ANYTHING HAVE BEEN CHANGED. I'M JUST TRYING TO GIVE A CLARITY ON HIM. I UNDERSTAND. WE VOTED FORBID, BUT IT JUST SEEMED LIKE IT. SO HAPPENS STANCE TO COME WHEN THEY HEARD WE WANTED TO DO THIS. WHAT IF I RECALL NOW? YOU
[02:45:02]
SAID THEY COULD DO THAT. AND THAT THEY WOULD YOU KNOW, AT THEIR LEISURE TO SAY YES. YOU CAN USE IT. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR. I APOLOGIZE, VICE MAYOR. I'M I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THAT THE PEACE I MISSED. I'M SO SORRY. DIRECTIVE WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND FROM YOU IS. UH THAT CORRECTIVE? YES WE VOTED WHEN PAUL AND THERESA WAS HERE, SO WHEN DID THEY COME BACK TO CORRECT THE DEED IS WHAT I'M SAYING. YEAH. COME BACK TO CORRECT IT. YOU'VE ALREADY STATED THAT WE WAS GONNA FIRE STATION. YEAH, THE GET YOU THANK YOU. AND NOW NOW, I THINK I KNOW WHAT. WHERE YOU'RE AT THE INTER LOCAL THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT FOR THE TRANSFER OF THAT STUFF WAS WHEN WILL ACTUALLY KNOW WHERE YOU. WAS A TRACER IS VIETNAM, YOU KNOW I WAS HERE I WAS. YEAH, IT WAS. THE DISCUSSIONS STARTED BACK WITH PAUL IN THERESA. AND THEN IT WAS ME AND THERESA. AND THEN IT WAS HOWARD AND MAY AND. EVENTUALLY ENDED UP WITH THAT IN A LOCAL AGREEMENT, OKAY? AGAIN ARE OR I WAS NOT ON SET UP A FIRE SYSTEM IN INDIAN TOWN AT THAT POINT AND THEN, UM. AND THEN THEY RECORD THE DEEDS IN THE DEEDS OTHER THAN THE BOOK OF PARK FIRE STATION. IT HAD THAT LANGUAGE SAYING GOOD ONLY FOR PARK RECREATIONAL USES. THE OTHER DAY FOR BOOK OF MARK FIRE STATION DIDN'T INCLUDE THAT. AND THEN, AS WE MOVE ON, FOLKS WERE THINKING CREATIVELY OUTSIDE THE BOX. HEY, LET'S USE LET'S THINK ABOUT USING BOOK OF PARK FIRE STATION AS A FIRE STATION. AND. SUBSEQUENT TO THAT AND AS IT WAS COMMUNICATED TO ME. BECAUSE OF HEARING THAT. THEY WENT BACK AROUND AND FILED THAT CORRECTIVE DATE. LET ME BE CLEAR FROM A PURE LEGAL STANDPOINT AND LEGAL IS DIFFERENT FROM. POLITICAL OR NEGOTIATION. TACTICAL OKAY FROM A PURE RAW LEGAL STANDPOINT, I WOULD ADVISE YOU THEY HAVE THEIR AUTHORITY TO DO THAT, OKAY? THAT THAT IS A DIFFERENT MATTER THEN THEN YOU TAKING YOUR CONCLUSIONS AS TO WHAT NEGOTIATING. TACTICS OR BEING UTILIZED, AND I'M SORRY TO SPEAK SO PLAINLY, BUT I MEAN THAT IT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. AND WE KNOW THAT SINCE WHEN THEY GAVE US A. TRANSFER OF THE DEEDS. THEY TOLD US THAT THEY STILL WOULDN'T YOU KNOW, CONTROL THAT SO WE KNOW THAT, BUT YOU KNOW, THEN. AFTER THE FACT THAT WE ALREADY HAD OUR DEEDS AND THEN. DOWN THE ROAD, WHICH THEY CAN DO LEGALLY BUT POLITICALLY, WAS IT CORRECT? AND THAT'S NOT A ATTORNEY QUESTION. THAT'S JUST AS A POLITICAL AND ONE MORE THING T O AGAIN. I'M I'M TRYING TO PUT TOOLS IN YOUR ARSENAL HERE. THAT IS POLITICAL AND LEGAL.LIKE I SAID BEFORE, KEEP IN MIND THE BORDER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AT ANY TIME.
COULD SAY, OH, THERE WAS THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH YOU USING BOOKER PARK FIRE STATION FOR YOUR FIRE STATION. WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN THAT IS COMPLETELY WITHIN THEIR AUTHORITY AND THEY CAN CHOOSE TO DO THAT. OR THEY CAN CHOOSE NOT TO DO THAT.
COUNCILMAN DARLING. YEAH THANK YOU. SO MUCH FOR SHARING THAT, UM, I JUST WANT TO GIVE A HISTORICAL BACKGROUND BECAUSE I WAS A PART OF THIS CONVERSATION BACK IN 2016 2020 15 EARLY 2016.

THAT MY OPINION, IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THAT. WE'RE GETTING THE SUPPORT AND THE. THE SUPPORT FROM THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AS IT RELATES TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO SO THAT ONLY MAKES ME CONCLUDE THAT WE JUST NEED TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING TO BEST SERVE THIS COMMUNITY. SO, UM, I JUST WANTED TO TEAR THAT BECAUSE. FOLKS ARE FORGETTING THAT THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PART OF THAT CONVERSATION SINCE THE BEGINNING BEFORE INDIAN TOWN EVEN BECAME A MUNICIPALITY. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. AND I KNOW THERE'S TWO PUBLIC

GET ALONG WITH, YOU KNOW, I KNOW I BRING FORWARD THINGS. I DISAGREE WITH A HOPEFULLY YOU'VE SEEN WHERE I HAVE ALSO CRAZY WHEN I DO AGREE WITH YOU. UM I JUST WANNA PROBABLY GET AWAY FROM MY POINT AND GET BACK TO IT. BUT I'LL TRY TO BE QUICK. YOU KNOW, I DO ALSO LEAD A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT BOARDS AND THINGS AND. I DO SEEK OUT PEOPLE THAT DISAGREE WITH ME SO THAT I CAN SHARPEN MYSELF SO. I HOPE YOU'LL KIND OF TAKE THAT FROM THE COMMUNITY AS THEY'RE GIVING. THINGS THAT ARE, I DON'T KNOW. I WOULDN'T SAY AGAINST YOU, BUT I MUST SAY THIS MOMENT, BUT YOU KNOW THERE ARE AGAINST WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. MAYBE HOPEFULLY YOU CAN MAYBE USE A SHARP IN YOURSELF. I. I HAVE LOTS OF TIMES WITH THE MARTIN COUNTY FARM BUREAU WHERE I WANT TO DO THIS THING, AND I THINK THIS IS AWESOME. AND THEN SOMEBODY ON THE BOARD WILL SAY WHAT ABOUT THIS UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE? LIKE. YOU'RE RIGHT. I SHOULD NOT DO THAT. AND SO I PURPOSELY MAKE SURE WHAT I'M GOING TO BRING UP ONE OF THOSE TOPICS THAT I THINK THERE MIGHT BE ONE OF THOSE CONSEQUENCES THAT I MAKE SURE ONE OF THOSE BOARD MEMBERS IS THERE TO KEEP ME IN CHECK, SO I JUST WANT TO JUST THROW THAT OUT THERE ON THAT.
JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE. BUT AS FAR AS THE MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE, I JUST I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT THE COUNTY COMMISSION HAS TO SAY ON TUESDAY. I APPRECIATE YOU REACHING OUT TO THEM WITH THAT LETTER. GIVING THEM THE OPTION TO HAVE A JOINT MEETING AND I JUST HOPE THAT YOU'LL KEEP AN OPEN MIND SHOULD THEY ACCEPT THE OFFER FOR THAT JOINT MEETING A ZOO WE'VE HEARD TONIGHT. THERE'S EVEN NEW INFORMATION COMING FORWARD NOW SO THAT'S ALL I ASK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR HAFFNER. MAN TO MAN. WE HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT FROM TEMPORAL RATNA. SURRENDER, PLEASE. UNUSUALLY. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, MR HEFNER. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. WE OFTEN DON'T ALWAYS AGREE ON THINGS, AND THAT'S WHAT POLITICS IS. AND THAT'S WHY YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE BECAUSE WE GET TO STATE OUR OPINIONS AND WE CAN HEAR YOU WAS WELL, BUT WHAT I'M SENSING IS THERE'S A THERE'S AN AWFUL BITTERNESS ON THE COUNCIL'S BEHALF. TO THE COUNTY AND I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF MARTIN COUNTY FOR 38 YEARS AND I DO AGREE WE WERE STREET DID TERRIBLE BY THE COUNTY. WE DIDN'T GET THE SERVICES. WE WANT IT. BUT I DON'T AGREE THAT THE SERVICES FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WERE TERRIBLE. WE'VE HAD PEOPLE RESCUED AND I COULD NAME A LOT OF PEOPLE COULD COME FORWARD WITH THE WONDERFUL SERVICES FROM OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. AND I HOPE YOU GO WITH A TRUE HEART TO THE CITIZENS OF INDIAN TOWN AND NOT JUST YOUR PERSONAL OPINION THAT
[02:55:04]
THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WANT TO CHECK OFF ON YOUR BOX TO HAVE FOR OUR TOWN. PLEASE GO FORWARD AND LISTEN TO THEM. TRULY LISTEN TO THEM AND IF THEY CAN OFFER SOMETHING, WHY WOULD WE PAY MORE? WHY WOULD WE FIX SOMETHING THAT'S NOT BROKEN, AND I WANT TO SAY ONE OTHER THING, MR HERNANDEZ. SCHOOLS PRINCIPALS AND TEACHERS ARE NOT COMPARE A BLE TO YOUR GOVERNMENT THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. PLEASE DON'T CONSUME THEIR THOSE APPLES TO APPLES BECAUSE IT'S APPLES TO ORANGES. HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 38 YEARS. MY KIDS HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND IF I DIDN'T LIKE SOMETHING WITH THEM, I WENT AND SPOKE TO THE BOARD. I WENT AND SPOKE TO THE PRINCIPAL. SO YOU CAN'T COMPARE APPLES TO ORANGES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND I HOPE YOU GO WITH A GOOD HEART. THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT. SPANNING MAYOR.KAREN DID YOU GET ON YOUR MIC HIM? ALSO SAY YOUR FULL NAME FOR US, PLEASE. GOOD EVENING, BUT THIS IS KAREN SMITH. I KIND OF MISUNDERSTOOD THE PUBLIC COMMENTS SECTION, BUT I WAS HOPING THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT CLARIFICATION. I AGREE WITH MISS LINDA AS WELL. I THINK. IF WE COULD RESIDENTS CLEAR AND FOR BAIT ABOUT NUMBER ONE. WHAT SERVICES ARE WE NOT RECEIVING? OR ARE WE NOT GETTING FROM MARTIN COUNTY THAT WE NEED TO PROVIDE OURSELVES? WHAT IS THE EXACT COST? ESTIMATE THAT OUR CONSULTANT HAS GIVEN US THAT IS GOING TO COST AT THE VILLAGE DID DO THIS SO RESIDENTS CAN LOOK AT IT FOR THEMSELVES AND SEE. THE COST OF THE COUNTY WORKS IS DOING IT OURSELVES. THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT FP AND L PULLING OUT FROM OUR VILLAGE. IS THERE ANY FACT THAT AS THE VILLAGE SPOKEN WITH F, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THAT'S A MAJOR CONCERN FOR A TAX BRACKET. AND THEN WHAT ABOUT THE CONSIDERATION FOR INDIAN TOWN THAT'S NOT IN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE VILLAGE. THEY MIGHT NOT BE THE VILLAGE BUT WE'RE STILL ALL OF INDIAN TOWN WITH THE CURRENT MARTIN COUNTY FIRE STATION, REMAIN AT ITS CURRENT LOCATION AND PROVIDE SERVICES. DO THEY PROVIDE BACKUP SERVICES IF WE WENT FORWARD WITH THE VILLAGE ON, BUT COSTS WOULD THAT BE IF WE NEEDED BACKUP SERVICES FROM THE COUNTY ANYWAYS? SO IF YOU GUYS COULD PLEASE. GET THAT INFORMATION OUT SOMEWHERE. THAT'S CLEAR AND PLAIN FOR YOUR RESIDENTS TO SEE YOU MIGHT HAVE A LOT MORE PEOPLE INTERESTED IN WANTING TO HEAR ABOUT IT. IT'S PRETTY DISHEARTENING TO HEAR, THOUGH, THAT IF ANYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION THAN A PARTICULAR MEMBER ON THE COUNCIL THAT WERE NEGATIVE THAT WERE DISRESPECTFUL. SO AGAIN, YOU ARE HERE TO REPRESENT US.
THAT IS YOUR JOB, SO. PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR RESIDENTS AND LISTEN TO WHAT WE'RE WANTING.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS SMITH, ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? NO MATTER, MAN, OKAY.
DISCUSSION ITEMS. MR VILLAGE MANAGER. I REMEMBER 15. NO, NO. ACTION ON THIS ITEM, I GUESS.
[15.
Public Works Quarterly Update
]OH I THOUGHT OKAY, WELL, I'LL GO, UM ALL RIGHT. I AM. ITEM FOR DISCUSSION IS A IS, UM. AS A PUBLIC WORKS. CORLEY UPDATE FROM BILL ARCHER BILL. IT WAS REQUESTED BY THE MAYOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THAT EVERY THREE OR FOUR MONTHS THAT WE UPDATE THE COUNCIL IN THE PUBLIC ON THE ACTIVITY OF PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE. AND BILL ARCHER. BILL IS HERE TO WALK US THROUGH A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION BILL. VERY BRIEF POWERPOINT PRESENTATION IF IT PLEASES THE COUNCIL TONIGHT, UM THERE AND IF YOU COULD GO AHEAD AND FLIP.NEXT SLIDE. SO JUST ONGOING MAINTENANCE WORK JUST TO KEEP YOU GUYS UP TO DATE. SURE WHERE WE HAVE ONGOING POTHOLE ON PAVEMENT REPAIRS. PRP WAS OUT LAST WEEK. UM, ADDRESSING SEVERAL. THE TREE TRIMMING ALONG STATE ROAD, 7 10 HAS BEEN COMPLETED THE REST OF THE VILLAGE STREETS. TREE TRIMMING IS ONGOING. AGAIN WE HAVE OUR MONTHLY SIGNAGE, INVENTORY UPGRADE AND REPLACEMENT THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE, AND THEN WE HAVE SEVERAL DRAINAGE REPAIR PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING THROUGH YELLA. YOU'LL SEE A PROJECT ON THAT WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS SEMINAL DRIVE, THERE'S A TENTATIVE ITEM ON THE NEXT AGENDA. AND THEN THE OSCEOLA REPAIR WAS JUST RECENTLY DONE IT TRAIL DRIVE AND JUST RECENTLY PAVED AND THEN AS YOU'RE AWARE, PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE FOR HIS OWN BOREDOM, FIVE WAS RECENTLY
[03:00:02]
COMPLETED. TOMORROW A PS WILL BE OUT SWEEPING THE STREETS AND FERNWOOD FOREST AND APPLYING THE HERBICIDE ONE MORE TIME, SO THAT SHOULD BE THE END OF ZONES FORM FIVE FOR THE PAYMENT MAINTENANCE FOR 2020. UM FOR THE PROJECT THAT WAS PROVEN 2020 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO.JUST TO MAKE THIS BRIEF. YOU'RE ALL AWARE OF THE BOOKER PARK PROJECT. WE HAVE SUBMITTED 100% DRAWINGS TO THE D O T. I SENT THEM AN EMAIL EARLIER THIS WEEK, ASKING THEM IF WE HAD ANY COMMENTS ON THE 100% DRAWINGS, WE HAD VERY MINOR 90% COMMENTS WERE WORKING WITH LEGAL RIGHT NOW TO PUT TOGETHER A CONTRACT FORM OF CONTRACT AND WE'RE ANTICIPATING GOING OUT TO BID ON THIS PROJECT WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE PAYMENT MAINTENANCE. UH THE CURRENT INVESTMENTS 340,000 ANNUALLY AND AS WE MENTIONED THAT WORK FOR HIS OWNS FOREIGN FIVE BEEN COMPLETED, UM. THE VILLAGE WILL NEED TO DETERMINE WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A HIATUS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE EITHER. YOU KNOW, AT THIS YEAR LATER IN THE FUTURE, SO THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT DOWN THE ROAD. NEXT ITEM. SO, UM. UPTOWN DRAINAGE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. THE CDBG INFRASTRUCTURE. GRAHAM WE WERE HOPING WAS AVAILABLE. WE FOUND OUT AFTER THE FACT I BELIEVE THAT THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS YEAR. WE WERE ANTICIPATING SUBMITTING FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FUNDING. SO AT THIS POINT WILL CONTINUE FORWARD WITH THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION. I BELIEVE THE VILLAGE WAS REQUESTING FOR FUNDS TO ASSIST IN THE DESIGN OF THAT PROJECT, AND THEN WE WILL LOOKED AT SOMETHING SHOVEL READY AND MOVE FORWARD WITH CONSTRUCTION AS WE SEEK FUNDING FOR IT. NEXT ITEM. SO BEFORE I GET INTO QUESTIONS, I'LL LET YOU KNOW THAT FROM AN ENGINEERING SIDE WE'RE MEETING WITH THE CAPTAIN. TAKE ENGINEERING DESIGN TEAM TOMORROW TO HAVE A KICKOFF MEETING FOR THE WATER AND WASTEWATER MASTER PLANS. AND THEN NEXT WEEK, WE'RE FOLLOWING UP WITH MEETINGS WITH KIM LEE HORN AND WITH HOLT'S FOR PRELIMINARY DESIGN REPORTS TO GET OUR CONSULTANT STARTED AND MOVING FORWARD. WE ISSUED NOTICES TO PROCEED TO OUR CONSULTANTS YESTERDAY. WITH SIGNED, FULLY EXECUTED CONTRACT, SO EVERYTHING IS MOVING FORWARD ON THE UTILITY SIDE ALSO. AND I ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MR ARCH ABOUT I HAVE TO THE FIRST IS THE. I THINK IT'S OSCEOLA OSCEOLA. WHEN YOU'RE GOING FORWARDS TIME OR POWERS, THERE'S LIKE A LITTLE DIP THAT I KEEP ON SEEING THAT. WE HAVE A PROJECT, YOU WILL SEE THAT'S THAT'S THE PROJECT THAT WE HAVE A DRAFT ITEM TOGETHER FOR. WE'VE ALREADY WORKED UP A SCOPE WITH P R P FOR THE AREA BETWEEN THE INDIAN MOUNTAIN CITRUS. ON A SEAL WHERE THE PAVEMENT HAS BROKEN OFF THE OUTSIDE EDGE. YES I HAD PRP PUTS ROCK IN THERE TO TEMPORARILY STABILIZE IS THAT THE AREA IS SPEAKING OF. YES, BECAUSE WE HAVE HUGE MAINTENANCE TRAILERS AND ALL THAT. AND THEN IF YOU'RE LATE AND IN THE MORNING OR LATE AT NIGHT IF YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THERE, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN RIGHT? THE ROCKS ARE COMING ALREADY OUT OF THE YOU KNOW THERE WITH ALL THE HUGE, UM, VEHICLES GOING THROUGH THERE AND THE TONNAGE. THEY'RE ACTUALLY TAKING OUT APART THE ROAD AND SO WE MIGHT AS WELL GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF NOW THAT, UM, IT GETS WORSE. I'M AWARE THAT IS THE PROJECT THAT IS, THERE'S A DRAFT AGENDA ITEM PUT TOGETHER A TENTATIVE AGENDA AND PUT TOGETHER FOR THE NEXT MEETING THAT REPAIRS FOR THE DAMAGE IN THAT AREA ARE ON THAT. UM TO COMPLETELY STOP THE EDGE OF THE PAYMENT FROM RAVELING LIKE IT IS, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE TO AT SOME POINT REBUILD THAT ROAD.
BUT FOR NOW, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS REPAIR THE AREAS WHERE THE VEHICLES HAVE BROKEN IT OFF INTO THE TRAVEL LANE, AND WE'RE GOING TO STABILIZE THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SLOW THAT DOWN TO KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING. IT'S RAPIDLY BUT YOU'LL NOTICE THAT ROAD'S REALLY ELEVATED IN THE GROUND FALLS OFF REALLY FAST FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE SEEING THE PAVEMENT FALLING OFF IN THAT AREA, AND THERE'S LIKE NO EXTRA YEAH, THAT ROOM. THERE'S NO
[03:05:03]
EXTRA LEEWAY. SURE SIGN SO. RIGHT. THERE'S NO EXTRA ASPHALT AND THERE'S NO SHOULDER ON THAT ROAD, SO I AM AWARE OF IT. WE HAVE THAT SCHEDULED. YOU'LL SEE THAT BEFORE YOU THE COST OF THAT AND THE SIDEWALK REPAIRS THAT ARE NEEDED IN THAT AREA. OVER BY THE DITCH, YOU'LL SEE THE SIDEWALK IS A TRIP HAZARD IN THERE, AND WE'VE GOT TO GET THAT REPAIRED ALSO IN THE HEAD WALL, SO THAT REPAIR WILL EXCEED THE VILLAGE MANAGERS $15,000 SPENDING AUTHORITY. SO THEY'LL BE AN ITEM ON THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. ONE OF THE OTHER. AH QUESTIONS I HAD. I KNOW ON CHICKIE STREET. BUT THAT THAT ROAD SEEMS REALLY SMALL FOR TWO VEHICLE. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A REGULAR ROAD LIKE YOU KNOW THE REGULAR ROADS AROUND HERE. IT'S JUST BECAUSE I THINK, AT ONE POINT OF TIME. COUNTY CAME IN AND PUT A SIDE WALKING. AND SO NOW IT'S MADE THE ROAD, SMALLER. I KNOW THAT WHEN THIS DOES, CHICKIE YES. OKAY, I'LL CHECK THAT IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING. PLEASE TAKE THAT. BUT I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN THERE. I'VE BEEN THERE AND I HAD HAD TO, LIKE, STOP AND HAVE THE VEHICLE GO AROUND ME BECAUSE THERE'S NOT MUCH SPACE FOR TWO CARS TO GO. STREET NO ONE HAS TO PAUSE AND BECAUSE THE SIDEWALKS WAS LATER ON.YES, MA'AM. I WILL CHECK ON THAT. I'M MAKING MYSELF RIGHT NOW AND THEN ALSO GOING BACK TO YOUR SLIDES. YOU DID SAY THAT THE C B IS A C E. J D FUNDS. UM I KNOW THAT. OVER 19. THE GOVERNOR HAD ISSUED A LOT OF, UM, MONEY TO THAT FUND. IS THAT BECAUSE WE MISSED THAT FUND DEADLINE OR OUR PROJECT DOESN'T WORK. I LOOKED AT THE DIFFERENT. THE DIFFERENT FLORIDA LEGAL CITY EMAILS THAT WE HAD AND YOU KNOW, HE KEPT. IT WAS FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS. HE KEPT ON ADDING MORE MONEY INTO THAT, UM, INTO THE INFRASTRUCTURE. I EVEN HAD MY CALL ONE OF OUR MY COLLEAGUES AND CITY OF DOOR TO DOOR AL AND SEND ME THAT, UM. AND SHE WAS LIKE, LOOK, INDIAN ON THEIR, UM SO SHE I WAS JUST WONDERING, I KNOW THAT WE WERE WAKING UP. I BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE. THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF STEVIE G. D AND WE CAN APPLY AND ONE AREA. YES, MA'AM.
UM THE THERE ARE COVERED FUNDS AT THE VILLAGE, I THINK HAS ALREADY BEEN ALLOCATED FUNDS THAT WILL BE COMING TO THE VILLAGE. BUT THE CDBG. WHEN YOU WERE DISGUSTING WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION BY MS MCGRATH. AND IT WAS A INFRASTRUCTURE. CDBG INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM THAT WAS HEAVILY FUNDED, AND WE WERE ANTICIPATING ACTUALLY POTENTIALLY EVEN ASKED, GETTING UPWARDS OF $67 MILLION, INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN FUNDS, ALONG WITH FUNDS FOR CONSTRUCTION SERVICES AT THE END. THEO ACTUALLY GET IT BUILT FROM THE ENGINEERING SIDE OVERSEE AND MS MCGRATH FOLLOWED UP WITH AN EMAIL TO US APOLOGIZING AND INDICATED THAT THAT THAT. CDBG THAT PROGRAM WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE THIS YEAR. OKAY AND THEN SO WILL STILL BE SEEKING FUNDING. AND WE'LL STILL BE SEEKING FUNDING AND WHATEVER GRANT FUNDING IS OUT THERE THAT WE QUALIFY WILL STILL BE WILL STILL BE GOING AFTER, OKAY. AND THEN I KNOW THAT WE RECEIVED FROM MR BROWN. AND EMAIL. BUT HOW IS LEGISLATIVE? I KNOW THAT I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO SENATOR HAROLD AT THE VACCINATION. UM POP UPSIDE DOWN IN STORE, AND I THINK HER FOR HER HARD WORK AND BEING ABLE TO PUT THAT IN THE SENATE BUDGET. IT'S PRELIMINARY. WE ALL KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF BUDGET CUTS AND EVERYTHING. I'M WANTING TO SEE HAVE IF THERE'S ANY WHEN DOES THAT? THEY'RE LIKE A TIMELINE.
WELL IT IS AND I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION TONIGHT. BUT IT IS ONGOING. I KNOW THERE WAS AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE COMMITTEE MEETING IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE, AND WHAT THE MAYOR IS REFERRING TO IS ONE YOU'RE A LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES WAS THE SEMINAL. I'M UPTOWN ROADWAY DRAINAGE PROJECT. AND IT'S ON ITS WAY. I KNOW THAT IT'S PAST CONFERENCE COMMITTEE IN THE HOUSE SIDE AND ON THE SENATE SIDE. I KNOW THAT SENATOR HAROLD IS PUT IT IN THE.
PIPELINE BUT IT'S GOT TO GO TO A COMMITTEE AND WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT THAT POINT, BUT
[03:10:04]
IT ZONE GOING RIGHT NOW, WHICH LATER INS IS IN SESSION, AND I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE THE COMMUNITY AND THE ARE. FELLOW COLLEAGUES, UM, TO REACH OUT TO OUR OUR STATE REPS AND OUR STATE SENATOR, AND JUST SOME. MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T BREAK IT IN HERE IN TOWN, BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT. THIS IS MONEY THAT WE NEED FOR UPTOWN. WE GOT IT LAST YEAR FOR THE BOOK OF PARK AREA AND. THE PARK WILL BE SEEN THIS PROJECT COME TO LIFE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR. IS THAT CORRECT? MR ARCHER BELL? WE'RE ACTUALLY HOPING TO BE ON THE STREET FOR BIDS WITHIN A MONTH S O. THOSE WOULD BE ON THE STREET FOR 30 DAYS. I WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT BY THE FOURTH QUARTER OF THIS YEAR, THIRD TO FOURTH QUARTER OF THIS YEAR WILL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION.OKAY, OKAY. AND I DO SEE VICE MAYOR CLARKE. DEVICE MY RECORD? NOBODY MEANS COUNCIL MEMBER STONE. OH, COUNCILMAN STONE SORRY. YES, I ACTUALLY HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE WATER WHENEVER GONNA START SEEING SOME CLEARER WATER. UM THE UTILITY IS DOING SOME EMERGENCY MEASURES NOW, WHICH ARE RE BETTING FILTERS TO BASICALLY TRY TO DO SOME THINGS TO GIVE US SOME SHORT TERM IMPROVEMENT IN WATER QUALITY, BUT FOR COMPLETE LONG TERM IMPROVEMENT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THE PLANT HAS TO BE DESIGNED AND THEN HAS TO BE CONSTRUCTED. SO YOU'RE PROBABLY STILL SEE MR MAGORIUM'S NOT ON ANYMORE, BUT I WOULD EXPECT WE'RE PROBABLY SOMEWHERE AROUND 18 MONTHS OUT BEFORE YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO SEE THE NEW PLANT. COME ONLINE.
I'M ASKING ABOUT THE CLEARER WATER SHORT TERM. THE QUICK FIX. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO START SEEING THAT? WOULD FIX IN PLACE. MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MR HEWITT IS ORDERING MEDIA TO RE BED THE FILTERS NOW I'M NOT POSITIVE OF THE DATE, BUT THAT WAS ALREADY IN THE WORKS TO REBUILD THOSE FILTERS AND GET THE MEDIA IN PLACE. AND ALL THAT IS BASICALLY REMOVING BEDS OF SAND AND MULTIMEDIA AND FILTERS AT THE PLANT THAT HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED IN QUITE SOME TIME AND RE BETTING THOSE FILTERS, SO WE GET BETTER FILTRATION THROUGH THE PLANT.
CAN WE GET A DEADLINE OR A TIMELINE OF SOME SORT? ABSOLUTELY. LET ME I'LL REACH OUT TO ME. I'LL REACH OUT TO MR HEWITT TOMORROW. TOMKAT YOU A FIRM DATE. I DON'T KNOW THE DELIVERY DATE ON THE MATERIAL OF THIS POINT. AND WHAT IT WANTS AND COUNCIL IN STONE AND WANTS TO GET THAT INFORMATION. I'LL GET ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. THANK YOU. IS THAT ALL FOR THE COUNCIL? OKAY THIS IS COUNCILMAN DOWN. I WANNA JUST MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE FILTERS OR SEEING CLEAN WATER? WELL, THERE'S A QUICK FIX WHERE THEY COULD CLEAR OF THE WATER AT LEAST TEMPORARY, SO. I KNOW WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR MONTHS, AND I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME WE HAVE A TIMELINE AS FAR AS WHEN IT'S GONNA HAPPEN. HAVE PLEASE UNDERSTAND RE BETTING THE FILTERS. IT IS NOT GOING TO COMPLETELY CHANGE OUR WATER QUALITY. IT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, AND IT WILL ASSIST IN CLEANING OUR WATER, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE YOU KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO REACH THE. POINT THAT WE WANT TO ULTIMATELY REACH AS FAR AS REMOVING ALL COLORS, ETCETERA, ETCETERA. EXTRA CLARIFYING VIDEO. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU, MR VILLAGE MANAGER. I DON'T
[16.
Federal COVID-19 Funding Update
]NUMBER 16. YES, I'M NUMBER 16. IT'S A JUST A QUICK UPDATE. I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO UPDATE ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. BUT AS YOU KNOW, THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT. IS IN EFFECT, AND IT'S ABOUT $350 BILLION THAT'S COMING DOWN THE PIKE FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. TO HELP COVER INCREASED EXPENDITURES OR PLAN ISH, LOST REVENUE AND MITIGATE CERTAIN ECONOMIC ISSUES THAT ARE GOING ON DO THE COVERT 19 PANDEMIC. AND SO WE, UM.
