AND THE REST OF HIS COMMENTS. ATTACKED THE 55 ACRE OAK HAMMOCK BETWEEN SOUTHWEST FAMILY AVENUE AND FIRM WORD FOREST ROUTE BY ALLOWING NO MORE THAN 50 HOMES DURING 48 SESSION OF PROTEST WAS HELD. FOREMOST OBVIOUS SIGNS AND VOICES OR ABOUT KEEP MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE. SAVE OUR OAK AMICK LISTEN TO THE LOCALS, NOT THE DEVELOPERS. HEY, HOPE ROUNDS GOT TO GO. OUR GOAL IS NOT TO DESTROY OUR SMALL COUNTRY TOWN BUT BY ALLOWING DRASTIC MAXIMUM DENSITY ZERO LOT LINE HOUSING, RE ZONING AND LAND USE CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE RAPID RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. HAS COME AND NOTHING IS IN PLACE TO PROTECT OUR TREES OR OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. CURRENTLY ALL OF YOU ARE BIG FISH IN A LITTLE POND. BUT WHEN THE NEWCOMERS MOVE IN AND VOTE, THEY WILL SIGNIFICANTLY OUTNUMBER ALL OF US CURRENT RESIDENTS AND THE NEW INCOMING CITY SUBURBAN RESIDENTS. WE'LL LET THE KIND. ELECT LIKE KIND BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT BE LIKE US OR HAVE ANY HISTORY. HER FAMILY IN INDIAN TOWN. THEREFORE ALL OF YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HANDING OVER OUR SMALL COUNTRY TOWN TO STRANGERS, WHICH IS 10 TIMES WORSE THAN BEING UNDER MARTIN COUNTY. HOWEVER, THERE THREE EXCELLENT CHOICES. YOU CAN DRASTICALLY PUT INTO PLACE A METRIX FOR RURAL SUBURBAN ZONING AND LAND USE TRAGICALLY PROTECT OUR TOWN. JUST HAVE A RECALL OR VOTE TO STOP ALL THIS AND UNDO IT ALL AND START OVER. GO BANKRUPT, DISBAND OR SIMILAR AND PUT US BACK UNDER MARTIN COUNTIES JURISDICTION. NEXT ONE. IS FROM. TWO OF HER NAME'S HERE. SORRY, LAYUP, TESCO. YOU'RE MARRIED VILLAGE COUNCIL. I'M A RESIDENT AND M AGAINST REMOVING MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE PROVIDING SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY. AFTER ATTENDING SATURDAY'S COMMUNITY MEETING, HELD BY SUSAN GIVES THOMAS HAROLD JENKINS HAD EDWARD CAMPY.

ON THIS ISSUE. IT IS UNFORTUNATE AND DISAPPOINTING WHO THE OTHER ELECTED VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS DID NOT PARTICIPATE. STILL MANY QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SUFFICIENTLY ANSWERED REGARDING THIS PROPOSED HYBRID EMMA'S FIRE VOLUNTEER SYSTEM. THERE'S SOME QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. HOW MUCH WILL MY TAXES INCREASE? IF FP AND L LEAVES? THIS IS A REAL POSSIBILITY AS F P L ALREADY KNOWS AND HAS A PLAN IF IT CHOOSES SMOOTH AIR FACILITY AT ANY TIME. HOW MUCH WILL FIRE PREVENTION AND 911 DISPATCH COST? HOW MUCH IS A NEW FIRE STATION GOING TO COST? HOW MUCH

[00:15:05]

EMPLOY THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO REMEMBER THAT YOU WERE ELECTED BY THE CITIZENS TO SERVE THE CITIZENS. BREAK OFF FROM MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE IS DETRIMENTAL TO OUR COMMUNITY AND THE SAFETY OF OUR CITIZENS. TAXPAYERS DESERVE THE BEST SERVICES AND MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE PROVIDES THIS SERVICE NOW. WE DO NOT NEED A CONSULTANT WHO HAS PAID TO ADVISE US. WE RECOGNIZE QUALITY SERVICE. DRESSING THE ISSUE OF THE RIVER OAK DEVELOPMENT AGAIN.

I REMIND YOU THAT YOUR JOB IS TO LOOK TO THE BEST INTEREST OF YOUR CITIZENS. WE HAVE TRIED TO REACH OUT TO YOU, BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. YOU DO NOT SEEM CONCERNED ON HOW THAT PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE RESIDENTS LIVING HERE. PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR TAX PAYING CITIZENS AS WELL AS LISTENING TO YOUR DEVELOPERS. REMEMBER YOU ARE ELECTED OFFICIALS. DEBRA IN EARNEST BANKS. NEXT ONE IS FROM WENDY SHIPMAN. DEAR VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS AS INDIAN TOWN CONTINUES TO GROW, PLEASE CONSIDER ALL NEGATIVE REPERCUSSIONS OF DEVELOPMENT WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE VILLAGE. MOVED TO INDIAN TOWN BECAUSE PALM CITY HAS GROWN TOO MUCH, AND I COULD NO LONGER AFFORD TO LIVE THERE. I CURRENTLY LIVE ON FOX, BROWN ROAD AND LOVE LIVING IN INDIAN TOWN. I ALSO DON'T WANT IT TO TURN INTO PALM CITY.

ALLOWING ZONING TO CHANGE FROM AGRICULTURAL TO INDUSTRIAL OR COMMERCIAL. THIS WORLD FOREVER CHANGED THE IDENTITY OF INDIAN TOWN. IT WILL ALSO TAKE AWAY OUR ABILITY TO LOCALLY PRODUCE OUR OWN FOOD BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF ACRES FOR AGRICULTURE. THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM ACROSS THE STATE, AS AGRICULTURE IS OUR NUMBER TWO CONTRIBUTOR TO OUR ECONOMY.

BEHIND TOURISM. DEVELOPMENT IS RAPIDLY ENCROACHING ON OUR FARM LAND, AND IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE. NOTING BACK TO AGRICULTURE. LET'S BE CAUTIOUS AND OPENING THE DOOR FOR COMMERCIALIZATION AND INDUSTRIALIZATION OF OUR TOWN. THIS NEW PROPOSAL. GREEN CARBON SOLUTIONS WILL NOT ONLY INCREASE TRAFFIC BY FOX BROWN BUT ALSO IN TOWN. HOW MANY SEMIS DO WE WANT DRIVING THROUGH OUR SCHOOL ZONES AND OUR DOWNTOWN WHERE PEDESTRIANS ARE EVER PRESENT? HOW MUCH FARMLAND DO WE WANT TO LOSE FOREVER? MAKING TOUGH DECISIONS ON WHAT TO APPROVE AND WHAT'S IT DID I THINK ABOUT HOW TRAFFIC E PALM CITY IS? HOW LONG IT TAKES YOU TO DRIVE TO JENSEN BEACH OR STUART? AND HOW MANY FEWER FARMS YOU PASS ALONG THE WAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. NOW FOR THE PHYSICAL SPEAKERS. I BELIEVE THE NAME ON THIS CARD IS JOHN RUSSELL. FOLLOWING JOHN RUSSELL WILL BE NINA TAYLOR. PLEASE COME UP TO THE PODIUM AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT MIKE IS ON. TESTING CAN YOU ALL

[00:20:07]

FOR ROUGHLY 590 UNITS WITH A POPULATION OF ROUGHLY 1000. OH, EXCUSE ME. MM HMM. IT WAS A 55 AND OLDER COMMUNITY. UH WHICH MEANS THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE. WELL OVER THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THEIR EIGHTIES NINETIES. I'M 86. I'M BASICALLY FALLING APART. BUT HERE I AM, ANYWAY. ON THERE IS A POINT TO THAT YOUNGER PEOPLE, MUCH LIKE YOURSELVES, MUCH LESS LIKELY TO HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE A CALL. 911 AND SOME HELP. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON AT ALL, AND INDIAN WOULD TO SEE FIRST RESPONDERS COMING IN. IT HAPPENS VERY, VERY FREQUENTLY.

AT THE PRESENT TIME. WE ARE ALL CONFIDENT THAT THE FIRST REPORT RESPONDERS ARE PROMPT R E M T S ARE EXTREMELY WELL QUALIFIED FOR WHAT THEY DO. UH AND I BELIEVE THAT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THEIR ABILITIES AND THAT THEY'RE WONDERFUL THE WAY THAT THEY PERFORM. HAS SAVED MANY A LIFE IN INDIAN WOULD. IT BECOMES VERY IMPORTANT FOR US. BE SOMEWHAT ASSURED THAT WE HAVE THAT. KIND OF PROTECTION. WE JUST HOPE THAT WE KEEP IT THAT WAY. IF WE GO TO A POLICY THAT'S BEEN SUGGESTED THAT INVOLVES VOLUNTEERS. IT INVOLVES NO E EMPTIES. IT INVOLVES KNOW WHAT IS THE WORD? AH. PARAMEDICAL SOMEHOW I ALWAYS KEEP FORGETTING THAT WORD, AND OBVIOUSLY WAS JUST VOLUNTEERS. NOT THE KIND OF PROMPT RESPONSE THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO US NOW. I HOPE THAT THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN, BUT I THINK THAT THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THAT HAPPENING. COULD BE REALLY BAD AS IT IS NOW. THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT THE FIRST RESPONDERS ARE QUALIFIED WHENEVER IT'S POSSIBLE TO SAVE A LIFE. AND IT'S VERY LIKELY THAT THEY HAVE DONE SO, UH SECONDS. IN THE FUTURE THAT WOULD NOT BE. POSSIBLE AND IN FACT. UNDER THE CHANGE, IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED. WILL NOT BE SAVED. I'M ASKING YOU ON BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY. PLEASE DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, MR RUSSELL. WHO'S THE NEXT PUBLIC COMET? I KNOW, I KNOW. NO. I WON'T LEAD ON THE WIRE IS TAPED DOWN, BUT ALWAYS SO FAR. OUT. DOWN. IT'S THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING. YOU CAN BRING IT DOWN TO ACCOMMODATE. SHE MADE IT. HEY HOME HAVE LIVED HERE A LONG TIME. I HAVE SEEN US PROGRESS. VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE AND FIRE.

TO A PROFESSIONAL. STOP. IT COVERS EVERYTHING. AND THEY'RE WONDERFUL. I HAVE USED THE. I CAN'T. BUT I CAN REMEMBER WHEN MY HUSBAND. ONE DAY A WEEK DROVE THEM TO ITS AND JENNY MCBRIDE WAS A TEACHER. WHAT'S HIS E M. T. AND I COULD HAVE BEEN ANY EMPTY. BECAUSE THEIR KNOWLEDGE WAS. EVEN WITH WHAT THE STATE REQUIRED WAS NOT ADEQUATE FOR REAL EMERGENCIES.

IT WAS A BAND AID IN AN ICE PACK. ASKING YOU TO RECONSIDER. WOULD LIKE. I'M SORRY. WE WERE JUST I WOULD LIKE HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE FACT. HAD TO GO BACK TO THAT IS RAY GRATION.

[00:25:01]

MAYBE THE DAY WILL COME WHEN WE CAN. DID YOU RAISE TAXES? YOU'RE PUSHING US OUT OF TOWN.

NOT JUST US, SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE. SO THINK ABOUT IT. THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS TOWN WOZ.

YOU CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE WE HAD ALL VOLUNTEER. BUT I CAN'T. I HAVE GREATEST RESPECT. MARTIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S CAMPY KEYS AND FOR THEIR MY AMBULANCE STAFF. HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL TO ME. MY OWN HELP AND HELPING ME WITH MY HUSBAND. AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE YOU. REGRETS YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS, MAN. WELL, I REALLY DON'T NEED ANYTHING MORE. BUT I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT. AND IF YOU DON'T THINK THE WAY I THINK YOU SHOULD THINK YOU BETTER RUN WHEN YOU SEE ME, OKAY? THANK YOU, MS NINA. THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT. RIGHT? IT'S OKAY FOR GOOD. AND FOLLOWED BY MIKE B. MINUS GERMS ARE GOOD WITH ME. UM. THANK YOU COUNSELORS FOR GIVING US THIS OPPORTUNITY. UM. WHEN I THINK ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE NINE AND CLAIRE SEEKER AND MY OWN MOTHER, ERNIE BANKS, UM. WAS OUR LONGEST STANDING FIRE CHIEF, AND WHEN THOSE PEOPLE IT TAKES A LOT TO GET THEM RILED UP. UM WHEN THEY ALL COME, I FEEL COMPELLED TO SPEAK AND WHEN I SEE THE. VERY COMMISSION THAT HELPED US BECOME INCORPORATED TO PROVIDE THE SEATS THAT YOU ALL SIT IN BEING DISRESPECTED. I FEEL COMPELLED TO COME AND SPEAK TO YOU. UM. COUNCILMAN DOWLING AT THE LAST MEETING YOU. KIND OF HAD TO REQUEST ON THIS FIRE RESCUE JUST TO REITERATE YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THE WHOLE COUNCIL. VERY WELL COUNSELORS. UM YOU WANTED SOMEONE TO SHOW YOU WHERE YOU'RE NOT SAVING MONEY IF THAT'S TRUE. AND SOMEONE THAT WOULD COMPLAIN TO OFFER ALTERNATIVES AND GLAD TO DO BOTH OF THOSE TODAY. YOU KNOW, THE FIRST PART OF THE COMPLAINT IS. ALL I'VE SEEN ON OPTION FOR IS A TWO YEAR PLAN. I'M SURE YOU HAD A MUCH LONGER PROJECTION WHEN YOU BOUGHT THE WATER COMPANY AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEND A LOT MORE TIME.

THINKING THROUGH THIS PLAN. SECOND PART OF THAT IS. THE TPP GRANT AND YOUR TWO YEAR PLAN, AS WAS POINTED OUT AT THE BORDER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IS OFF BY ABOUT 35% IS ACTUALLY CLOSER TO 800,000 AND 500,000. SO WHEN YOU START TO WORK ON THE MATH, AND YOU HAD THE 300,000 TO YOUR 4.8 MILLION. YOU'RE A 5.1 MILLION BEFORE YOU EVEN DISCUSS THE OTHER ITEMS THAT DON'T APPEAR TO BE CONSIDERED IN HERE AND IF I'M WRONG, POLICE POINTED OUT, BUT I DIDN'T. HAS BEEN MUCH TALK ABOUT BACKUP AND MUTUAL AID AND 9 11 DISPATCH AND WHETHER IT SHOULD BE IN HERE. BUT I DON'T OR WHETHER THAT SHOULD BE COVERED. BUT THOSE ITEMS AREN'T IN HERE AT ALL. SO YOU'RE REALLY A 5.1 PLUS ALREADY AND YOU PAID 5.3 MILLION LAST YEAR, RIGHT? SO THE GAPPING THAT WIDE TO BEGIN WITH. SO, UM, I THINK YOU HAVE A LOT OF HOMEWORK TO DO. AND HONESTLY, BEFORE YOU GET THAT FAR, YOU NEED TO TELL THE PEOPLE THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO KNOW. HOW'S THIS GONNA WORK ANYWAY? WITH VOLUNTEERS WHERE THEY GONNA COME FROM? BUT, ALAS, YOU ASKED FOR SOLUTIONS AND ALTERNATIVES. AT THAT APRIL 13TH MEETING THE COUNTY. OFFERED OR APPEAR TO OFFER 5.3 MILLION LAST 200,000 FOR AMBULANCE AND 300,000 FOR PMT. THAT'S 4.8 MILLION, THE SAME THAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR TWO YEAR PROJECTION TO KEEP EVERYTHING THE WAY IT IS, AND I IMPLORE YOU TO TAKE THAT OPTION FOR TWO YEARS BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN CONSIDER THINGS YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO STUDY. HOW MANY VOLUNTEERS DO WE NEED? I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYBODY SAY HOW MANY WE NEED. HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO IT? YOU HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO. ALAS YOU GET THE CHANCE TO BE THE HEROES AND SAY WHEN YOU TOOK OFFICE, THE FIRE

[00:30:03]

MY NAME'S MIKE. I'M A 20 YEAR RESIDENT OF INDIAN TOWN AND MOVED OUT HERE WITH MY WIFE. TORTO RAZOR. TWO DAUGHTERS THAT WERE BORN HERE. I'M IMPLORING YOU TO STAY WITH MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE. THE CURRENT LEVEL OF SERVICE IS IMPECCABLE. YOU CAN BE ASSURED THAT THAT WILL NOT BE THE CASE. DO YOU HAVE A CONTRACT? AMBULANCE AMBULANCE SERVICE.

AND WE WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE TO THE SAME CALIBER THAT'S FOR VOLUNTEER SERVICE. YOU'RE CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO RECEIVE THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE IS MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE DO TWO VOLUNTEERS NOT BEING FIREFIGHTER CERTIFIED. THROUGH THE STATE VOLUNTEERS WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF TRAINING AND THE CONTINUING EDUCATION. VOLUNTEER HYBRID SERVICE IS ALSO NOT THE BEST WAY TO GO. BECAUSE OF THE LESS CERTIFICATIONS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SHOW UP ON A DAILY BASIS. PLEASE RELY ON THE LOCAL ASK EXPERTISE TO MAKE YOUR DECISION. NOT THESE OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS. LOCAL PEOPLE HAVE THEIR FINGER ON THE PULSE OF MARTIN COUNTY AND THE VILLAGE. I'VE BEEN WITH MARTIN COUNTY LONG I'VE BEEN IN MARTIN COUNTY LONG ENOUGH. TO SEE THE VOLUNTEER HYBRID SYSTEM BACK IN THE EARLY NINETIES. AND IT DIDN'T WORK THEY COMBINED. TO CREATE MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE. AND YOU CAN GO ONLINE AND SEARCH THIS READING ANY NEWSPAPER THAT SMALLER. UM, FIRE SERVICES DOWN SOUTH OF US AND PALM BEACH COUNTY, BROWARD COUNTY DADE. THEY HAVE THEIR LITTLE MUNICIPALITY FIRE DEPARTMENTS. THEY'RE ALL CLOSING UP ON GOING WITH THE BIG COUNTY. PEOPLE THAT EVEN INCLUDES THE CITY OF STUART SENIOR STEWART HAS WANTED TO COME WITH MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS. ALSO MY HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE. WHEN I MOVED OUT HERE WAS $850. I GOT DROPPED. WENT UP 200 OR 1400. THAT RENEWED $5000. YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS I SHOPPED AROUND. AND NOW IT'S A 32 100. SO WITH THE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT, IT'S ASSUREDLY GOING TO GO UP MORE AGAIN. THIS PRESENTATION THAT YOU GUYS PUT OUT THESE NUMBERS ARE NOT RIGHT. TTP IS $750,000. CONTRACT THAT'S HOW THEY SUCKER YOU IN. GIVE YOU A LOW CONTRACT FOR THE RESCUE SERVICES, AND THEN THAT'S GONNA GO UP. THEY'RE JUST GONNA THEY GOT YOU. UM. AND THE COUNTY IS ALSO OFFERED YOU HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN AMBULANCE FEES, WHICH BRINGS THEIR COSTS DOWN TO $4.7 MILLION, WHICH IS LOWER. AND YOUR 4.8 MILLION.

THAT YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO SAVE IN THE SECOND YEAR. THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE A FIREHOUSE.

THIS COMBINATION HYBRID. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT'S JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE. THERE WAS GONNA BE ONE PAID GUY. YOU THINK ABOUT THE PARTY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. BE MAKES PUBLIC COMMENT. MY NAME IS DEBORAH FIELD AND I'M A RESIDENT OF INDIA WOULD I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF DROPPING MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE AND HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO ANYONE WHO IS WE HAVE EXCEPTIONAL COVERAGE THROUGH MARTIN COUNTY, FROM THE EQUIPMENT TO THE STAFFING LEVELS, TRAINING AND TOP QUALITY PEOPLE. AND DON'T WANT TO SETTLE FOR LESS. THAT APPEARS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THERE WOULD BE LARGE FINANCIAL SAVINGS FOR THE VILLAGE TO REPLACE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE WE HAVE, AND ANY SAVINGS WOULD NO DOUBT BE PASSED ON TO RESIDENTS THROUGH. HIGHER INSURANCE RATES AND UNCOVERED E M S CHARGES. IT'S FRIGHTENING TO THINK OF A LOCAL MUNITIONS PLANT HERE. WITH NO HAS MET TEAM AND A VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT. IT'S ALSO FRIGHTENING TO THINK ABOUT WAITING FOR BACKUP AMBULANCE IF LOCAL STAFFING IS A BUSY ON A CALL. IN THE SUMMER IN WISCONSIN. WE LIVE IN THE COUNTRY FIVE MILES FROM THE FIRE STATION. MY HUSBAND HAS HASN'T IMPLANTED DEFIBRILLATOR AND KNOWS FIRSTHAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE LYING ON THE GROUND WITH A GOING OFF. WAITING FOR AN AMBULANCE. THE WHOLE PLAN SHOULD BE DROPPED, OR AT THE VERY LEAST PUT TO A REFERENDUM AT THE NEXT ELECTION. LET'S 7000 RESIDENTS DECIDE WHO SHOULD PROTECT US, NOT FIVE. THANK YOU THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT. THANK YOU, COUNSEL. THANK YOU. STAFF. UM. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE AS WELL. I THINK WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD WE GET A GOOD SERVICE WITH THEM. UM, YOU

[00:35:04]

PLEASE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR GARRETT. NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT. LINDA EVERY FIRST THE STAFF. THEY WORK HERE FOR THE VILLAGE. YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB, AND IT SENDS ME TO NOTICE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT IS AGAINST AGAINST WHAT Y'ALL TRYING TO DO. AND I KNOW. WHOEVER LISTENING KNOW THAT THEY GOT DOING THE BEST THEY CAN. IF THEY DIDN'T. THEY DIDN'T COME HERE WITH MILLIONS, AND I'M QUITE SURE WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE MILLIONS OVERNIGHT, SO. I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF NOT JUST THE ONES THIS HERE. I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE ONES THAT IT'S NOT HERE, THAT THEY DON'T AGREE WITH ALL THEY AGREE WITH WHAT THE THEY TRUST THAT THE COUNCIL. IS DOING THE BEST. THEY KNOW HOW TO DO AND LIKE IT SADDENS ME BECAUSE I'M NOT, UH, THE PEOPLE THIS OUT HERE, THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT'S PAYING TAXES THAT'S BEEN HERE.

I MEAN, HE HAS 60. PLUS YEARS AND I HAVE A HUGE FAMILY. THAT'S THERE'S BEST CONCERN, AND THEY TRUST THAT THIS COUNCIL THAT WE ELECTED IS DOING A GOOD JOB AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MR BROWN. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. BECAUSE PRAYER IS ON YOUR SIDE AND ON THE COUNCIL SIDE, ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WORK HERE PRAY IS ON YOUR SIDE. THE OLDEST OTHER CRAP. THEY CAN GO SOMEWHERE. THANK YOU, MISS. I AGREE THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT. I'M BLACK. GOODBYE. YEAH. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ALAN BLACK. I'M A. I'M A RELATIVE NEWCOMER. I'VE ONLY LIVED HERE ABOUT 20 YEARS. UM I LIVE OVER IN RIVER OAKS AND I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE DIRECTION THAT OUR VILLAGE IS TAKING. UM, THIS MARTIN COUNTY, GIVING UP MARTIN COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT FROM EVERYTHING THAT I COULD TELL FROM EVERYBODY THAT I'VE SPOKEN TO AND IN THE PAST, BY THE WAY, I HAVE LIVED IN A TOWN THAT HAD. THE HYBRID SYSTEM, AND IT DID NOT WORK. IT WAS NOT A GOOD SYSTEM. AND MAYBE IT WAS PARTICULARLY THAT TOWN. BUT IT IS NOT A GOOD SYSTEM. IT'S YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GET THE KIND OF CARE AND THE KIND OF RESPONSE TIME THAT YOU CAN GET FROM THE COUNTY SERVICES. NOBODY THAT I KNOW IN THIS TOWN WANTS THIS, AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT OF A TOPIC. FOR FIVE PEOPLE TO DECIDE. I REALLY THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE A REFERENDUM. OF OUR TOWN TO VOTE ON THIS TOPIC. THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU, SIR. THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT. YES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. AND THANK YOU FOR LET ME SPEAK.

I'M JUST HERE TO BEG YOU TO PLEASE LEAVE MARTIN COUNTY FIRES MISLEADING FOR RESIDENTS HERE TO THINK THAT THEY'RE PAYING THE ENTIRE BILL. WHEN F PL IS PAYING 87% ACCORDING TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2020 AND VILLAGE RESIDENTS WERE PAYING LESS THAN 5. UNDER MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE CONTRACT IF FP L MOVES WERE GOING TO STILL PAY THE SAME MST RATE AS EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT IF FP ELI'S WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO FOOT THE ENTIRE BILL OF THIS DEPARTMENT. I'M NOT TO MENTION THAT THE COUNTY OFFERED A REFUND OF A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN AMBULANCE FEES, EVERYBODY THAT SAW THAT MEETING WE HEARD THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR SAY SHE WROTE A LETTER. AND LOOKING AT THE EMAIL THAT I JUST GOT. I BELIEVE SUNDAY. THE F A Q PAGE,

[00:40:07]

70% IS CONSOLIDATED FIRE M S EMMA'S TO YOU. SO TO ME, I BELIEVE IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT IT IS FUNDED BY THE M S TO YOU AND 85% OF CAUSE I'VE SPEAK. I'VE SPOKEN TO FIRE RESCUE PEOPLE.

85% OF THE CALLS ARE MEDICAL AND A LESS CALL MAY NEED AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A CAR CRASH.

IT COULD BE A HEART ATTACK. IT MAY NEED AN AMBULANCE AND A FIRE TRUCK. WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NOW? UNDER MARTIN COUNTY, THEY'RE GOING TO CALL ANOTHER STATION FOR CENTRAL COVERAGE SO THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET THE SERVICE. WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO COME ALONG WAYS. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE UP SO THEY CAN GET HERE CLOSE. IF WE NEED HIM. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO IF WE DON'T HAVE MARTIN COUNTY FOR OUR RESCUE? F A Q PAGE SIX. THEY SAID MUTUAL AID IS NOT USED OFTEN. WELL, NOT THAT LONG AGO, PALM BEACH COUNTY WOULD NOT EVEN PROVIDE MUTUAL AID TO SOUTH MARTIN COUNTY UNTIL THREE PEOPLE WERE ON A FIRE TRUCK, LIKE THE COMMISSION SAID THE SERVICE NEEDS TO BE COMPARABLE. AND I DO NOT THINK VOLUNTEERS ARE PART OF COMPARABLE WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PAY PROFESSIONALS. EFFIE Q PAGE FIVE. THE SYSTEM IS GOING TO BE BUILT ABOUT AROUND PREVENTION. WELL WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THE PROPOSAL DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE FIRE PREVENTION. WE GET THAT SERVICE NOW FROM FIRE FROM MARTIN COUNTY. WE ALSO GET 911 DISPATCH. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET THAT. UNDER THIS PROPOSAL.

THOSE COSTS ARE NOT INCLUDED. AND I BELIEVE MARTIN COUNTIES PROGRAM IS BASED ON PUBLIC SAFETY. 30 PLEASE DON'T LEAVE MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE IF YOU WON'T LISTEN TO US. HAVE MEETINGS WHERE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE ALL PARTIES INVOLVED SO RESIDENTS CAN GET THE FACT F PL PAID 4.7 MILLION AND FISCAL YEAR 20 RESIDENTS PAID 231,000 THAT'S LESS THAN 5. THERE ARE NO SAVINGS. THE PROPOSAL DOESN'T HAVE INCLUDE ALL THE COST, AND WE'RE NOT EVEN GETTING THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILIES. AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC ISN'T EVEN AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON. PLEASE KEEP MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE. THANK YOU, MA'AM, THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT. HI. MY NAME IS CHAD. DENISE I'M A 30 PLUS YEAR RESIDENT OF INDIAN TOWN. EVENING COUNCIL MEMBERS. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO TAKE A LITTLE GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE WITH ME. SO HERE WE ARE. FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, AND WE HAVE THIS VOLUNTEER HYBRID FIRE RESCUE SERVICE. ONE NIGHT, A CALL COMES IN AND OUR ONLY FIRE TRUCK AND AMBULANCE ANSWER THIS CALL. NO BIG DEAL, RIGHT? WELL, NOT AT FIRST. BUT THEN FIVE MINUTES LATER, ANOTHER CALL COMES IN NOW. WHAT IS THAT DISPATCH PERSON SUPPOSED TO TELL THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE? I'M SORRY. WE CAN'T HELP YOU RIGHT NOW.

BECAUSE OUR FIRE TRUCK AND AMBULANCE ARE OUT ON ANOTHER CALL. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT. NOW YES, I UNDERSTAND. THIS IS A WORST CASE SCENARIO. I WANT EACH OF YOU TO ASK YOURSELF WHAT HAPPENS IF I CALL AN EMERGENCY AND HAVE TO BE TOLD TO WAIT BECAUSE THE FIRE TRUCK AMBULANCE ARE BUSY. NO, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO BE ON THE OTHER END OF THAT CALL WHEN DISPATCH TELLS ME THAT AND NEITHER DO ANY OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE PROTESTING THIS RIDICULOUS THING YOU WANT TO DO WITH OUR TOWN? I BEG OF YOU.

PLEASE RECONSIDER THIS IDEA. YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF MARK COUNTY FIRE RESCUE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR GRANNIES. NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT. GOODBYE. YOU DON'T THANK FOR HAVING ME. SHE LET ME SPEAK. ALL RIGHT. I AM 100% AGAINST GETTING RID OF MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. CAN'T WE'RE NOT GOING TO SAVE NO MONEY. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET THE SAME SERVICE. UM HMM. WHAT. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT JUST SHORT AND SWEET. WE CAN'T. YOU CAN'T. I MEAN, YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT. I MEAN, YOU SAY YOU FOR THE PEOPLE. SORT OF TOWN. BUT YOU BY DOING THIS, YOU'RE TELLING US THAT YOU'RE NOT FOR THE VILLAGE OR THE PEOPLE? SO, PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU. KEEP MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT. I AM. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US. WANT EXPRESS THAT I MOVED INTO INDIAN TOWN FOR SPECIFIC REASON LIVED IN PALM BEACH COUNTY ALL MY LIFE. AND I HAVE TAXES. INSURANCES WERE THROUGH THE CEILING WHEN I MOVED IN 14

[00:45:03]

AND TAXES TAX WISE. WE COULDN'T AFFORD IT WERE RETIRING HERE. THIS WAS MY RETIREMENT DREAM AND YOU'RE TAKING IT AWAY BY TAKING AWAY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. I DON'T WANT TO BE LEFT. BECAUSE THIS PLAN ON LIVING A LONG TIME I'M IN MY SIXTIES NOW I DON'T WANT TO BE LEFT. WITH WORRYING AND I GOT TO GET HELP. THE AMBULANCE OUT HERE IF I FOLLOWERS OR MY HUSBAND HAS A HEART ATTACK. SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THIS, YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT YOUR RESIDENTS AND STOP THINKING ABOUT POLITICS. THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL PROBLEM AND YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR YOU BECAUSE I CAN GUARANTEE IT'S NOT GONNA BE PRETTY AT ELECTION TIME FOR YOU GUYS. IF THIS GOES THROUGH THANK YOU. THANK YOU THE NEXT COMMENT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY TIME WE HAVE A MEETING THAT WE'RE HERE, AND WE'RE HEARD. I'VE SPOKE TO MANY OF YOU. COUNCIL MEMBERS DURING THIS PAST WEEK, AND IT WAS CLEAR TO ME AND IT WAS PUT. THAT YOU GUYS ARE MOVING FORWARD. MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE. LET ME MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL, WE WON'T BE SILENCED. WE HAVE CHANNEL FIVE AND CHANNEL 29 COMING OUT HERE. TO GO AHEAD AND SEE THE PROTEST.

SEE WHAT'S GOING ON, AND WE WON'T BE SILENCED. IT'S BEEN SAID BY MR BROWN THAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND YOU'RE GONNA YOU GUYS YOU'RE GONNA SPEND ALL THIS MONEY. YOU GUYS ARE ON THE SPENDING SPREE. AND BETWEEN NOW AND I BELIEVE IT'S 2023 WHEN F PL RENEGOTIATES. I LIVE NEXT FBL I WENT TO TALK TO SOME OF THEIR HEAD PEOPLE, THEY WILL NOT PAY ANY MORE TAXES AND THEY WILL BE GONE. THEY'RE 85% OF OUR TAX BASE. SO I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NEWS MAKES IT SUPER CLEAR TO PEOPLE COMING IN HERE. ALL THESE ALL THESE BUSINESSES THAT YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO BRING IN HERE I AM A BUSINESS AND IF I KNEW THAT I WAS MOVING IN SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU GUYS WERE ON A SPENDING SPREE, SPENDING $2000 FOR THAT PROPERTY. GETTING RID OF MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE. YOU GUYS DON'T HEAR WHAT THE PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT SAID THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THREATENED PEOPLE FROM COMING OUT HERE. AND PRO TESTING, AND THAT IS JUST WRONG. THAT IS OUR RIGHT TO COME OUT HERE AND SHUT YOU GUYS DOWN, BECAUSE RESPECTFULLY A LOT OF YOU GUYS ARE LISTENING TO YOUR LEADER, HOWARD BROWN, WHO LITERALLY HAS NOT HAD A JOB AS A MANAGER FOR LONGER THAN LIKE A YEAR AND A HALF IN THE LAST ONE. I BELIEVE HE WAS FIRED FROM. THIS IS OUR RIGHT.

THIS IS OUR MONEY YOU THAT YOU GUYS ARE SPENDING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME WITH AND IT'S OUR TAXES THAT ARE COMING UP. I ACTUALLY HAD ONE OF YOU GUYS TELL ME THAT YOU WERE SO SAD BECAUSE THE ONLY REASON THAT MY HUSBAND AND I ARE STILL LIVING HERE IS BECAUSE WE HAVE A SIX YEAR OLD SON WITH MY EX HUSBAND, WHO WE CAN'T MOVE, BUT I'M TELLING YOU AS SOON AS IT'S DONE. WE'RE OUT AND MOST OF THE VILLAGE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT THERE ARE TWO YOU GUYS. THE MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE HAS TO STAY. I HAVE 70 YEAR OLD PARENTS THAT ARE IN INDIAN WOULD AND IF YOU GUYS GET RID OF THEM, AND SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THEM, I'M COMING AFTER THE VILLAGE. BECAUSE LET'S JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE GEORGE FLOYD SITUATION THAT JUST WENT ON.

THAT WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS. I'M SURE YOU GUYS ALL SAW IT. THEY HAD A HYBRID SERVICE OUT THERE TOO. AND DID YOU GUYS KNOW THERE WAS ONE MEDIC ON THERE, AND THEY HAD TO BRING ANOTHER PERSON. ON THE RIG ONE OF THE COPS TO PERFORM SERVICES DO YOU REALLY WANT JACKIE? YOU'RE 83 YEAR OLD, YOU KNOW, AND THAT LIVES HERE, SUSAN, YOUR PARENTS. JACKIE YOUR PARENTS? I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF YOUR PARENTS LIVE HERE OR NOT. I DON'T WANT THAT WORKING FOR MY PARENTS. AND I NEED YOU GUYS TO UNDERSTAND THAT OUR VOICES WILL BE HEARD, AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT BUSINESSES DON'T COME IN HERE. BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING READY TO PICK UP THE 85% TAX BASE THAT FPL'S GOING TO LEAVE US WITH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT. YEAH. GOOD BYE, KRISTIN BROWN. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS. IN A VILLAGE MANAGER. MY NAME IS DEBORAH BROWN. I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU

[00:50:06]

YOU'RE NOT HELPING MY COMMUNITY MEMBERS OUT HERE. YOU SAY YOU'RE FROM INDIAN TONE, THEN PROVE IT. ACT LIKE A MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY AND VOTE THE RIGHT WAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT. MM. NO. NAME IS KRISTIN BROWN. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK TONIGHT. UM THAT WAS MY HUSBAND. TELL ROY BROWN AND AS HE SAID, WE LIVE EIGHT MILES OUTSIDE OF INDIAN TOWN. AND IT'S VERY MUCH THE SAME POINTS. I. LITERALLY.

MARIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE SAVED MY LIFE. 2000 AND 18. I RUPTURED AND HAD INTERNAL BLEEDING. IF I HAD TO WAIT 45 MINUTES. FOR SOMEONE TO GET TO ME AND THEN 45 MINUTES. TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. I DON'T KNOW. AND I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE REPERCUSSIONS THAT I WOULD HAVE HAD. MY DAUGHTER. WHO HAS MENTAL ISSUES. HAS NEEDED AMBULANCE SERVICES. AND MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THAT FAST RESPONSE, MY DAUGHTER MIGHT BE DEAD. I NEED A FAST RESPONSE TIME. I CANNOT HAVE. FIRE RESCUE THAT'S OUTSIDE AND I'M OUTSIDE OF TOWN.

SO MY IT WILL BE FAR MARKET IN MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE FOR ME. THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE.

HEY, WE'RE NOT SPEAKING ABOUT I S O RATINGS. I'M ALREADY AT A 10. I'M GOOD WITH THAT. I DON'T CARE. IT'S THE LIFE I CHOSE. I WANT TO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY. BUT I NEED A LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT IS GOING TO BE GOOD FOR ME. AND I AM EVEN THOUGH I LIVE OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS, I'M STILL ONE OF YOUR PEOPLE. STILL PAY TAXES WITH YOU GUYS. CANNOT SEE MY STUFF DIMINISH, IT CAN'T HAPPEN. CAN'T HAPPEN. YOU GUYS HAVE TO MAKE CHOICES FOR US. I'M BEGGING YOU. SEE YOU GUYS IN THE COMMUNITY. I APPLAUD WHAT YOU DO. I SEE YOU GUYS. AND I PLOTTED BUT THIS DECISION THIS ISN'T A GOOD DECISION. SO PLEASE DON'T DO THAT. AND AS WE SAID, THE MONEY, WE GET THAT WE GET THAT MONEY TALKS. YOU WANNA BUILD UP INFRASTRUCTURE? YOU WANT TO DO THINGS YOU WANT TO PUT THINGS IN HOUSE AND I UNDERSTAND NOT THERE IS A TIME FOR THAT. NOW IS NOT THE TIME.

LET'S FIX THE WATER. LET'S. DO A LITTLE BUILDING THE WHATEVER. LET'S FIX SOME ROADS. LET'S DO THAT. LET'S GET HER INFRASTRUCTURE. LET'S BRING BUSINESSES IN. LET'S DO THOSE 800 HOMES AND PROVIDE 30 SECONDS. MAN PROVIDE THE SERVICE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO NEED. BUT TO CHANGE THIS RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT IT'S NOT IT. SO PLEASE. CONSIDER THIS STRONGLY.

[01:05:07]

KIND OF SHARE A LITTLE CIVICS CONCERNING THAT EVENT, SO. THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE BOUND BY WHAT IS CALLED THE SUNSHINE LAW AND ANYTHING THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE. UM. THAT WE HAVE TO VOTE ON IF WE ARE. FOUND TALKING ABOUT THAT WE CAN BECOME CRIMINALLY CRIMINALLY CHARGED.

AND THAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE BECAUSE I GOT SO MANY E MAILS ARE SO MANY FACEBOOK MESSAGES ABOUT WHY THEN I SUPPORT THE EVENT. WHY WASN'T IDEA WELL BY LAW? I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. AND AND THIS IS, UM THIS IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS WHO THIS AS I MENTIONED BEFORE. THIS IS NEW. AND A LOT OF FOLKS ARE JUST IGNORANT TO THE FACT OF WHAT GOVERNMENT IS. AND SO, UM, THAT THIS IS WHY I ENCOURAGE. ALL OF OUR MEMBERS I POST ON FACEBOOK.

EVERY TIME WE HAVE A MEETING, BECAUSE I WANT EVERYBODY TO PARTICIPATE IN WHAT WE'RE DOING.

WE'RE NOT TRYING TO LEAVE ANYBODY OUT. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO NOT HEAR YOU, BUT BY LAW, UM, SOMETHING OF THAT CALIBER WAY CAN ATTEND. AND SO I VALUE THIS POSITION THAT I'VE BEEN ELECTED TO, UM AND SO I HAVE TO PROTECT THAT. WHAT I MEAN BY THAT BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT PEOPLE WILL SAY IS THAT THE SUNSHINE LAW PREVENTS ME FROM ATTENDING THOSE TYPE OF MEETINGS, ESPECIALLY WHEN ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER LIST THERE. LAST THING AND I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMITTED REPORTS. BUT THE LAST THING IS, YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD VOICES TO FIRE HOWARD. UM, HI. HOWARD IS HIRED BY THE COUNCIL. AND HE WORKS FOR THE COUNCIL. AND SO IT IS. UM IT IS THE COUNCIL OF THE BODY, THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. THAT IS WELL WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIRING HIM. AND SO UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, UM, UM I HOPE THAT HE HE CONTINUES TO STAY WITH US. UM AND CONTINUE ON THE PROGRESS THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING. SO YOU KNOW, UM, WHEN, WHEN PEOPLE START ATTACKING. YOUR CHARACTER AND THINGS THAT HAPPENED 40 YEARS AGO OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE WITH WITH NO LEGITIMATE, UM, EVIDENCE IT IS. IT TELLS YOU WHERE WE ARE. BUT I AM, UM. I AM EXCITED.

YOU DEAL WITH PEOPLE. REVIEWS REVIEW THE THIRD AMENDMENT TO THAT P UT A MONTH OR TWO AGO, SO THAT'S PART JUST. SO YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT A BAD DEVELOPMENT. THIS APPLICATION IS CONSISTENT WITH BOTH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT RELATIONS. LAND USES LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND THE ZONING IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. PD LIGHT INDUSTRIAL SO AGAIN, IT IS CONSISTENT WITH OUR CODE AND COMPLIMENT. UM. IN OUR REVIEW, WHICH IS GOING OVER SEVERAL MONTHS, AND I THANK MR ELLIS FOR BEING PATIENT AND GOING THROUGH THIS BECAUSE THIS IS OUR FIRST MAJOR SAIPAN APPLICATION. SO IT WAS A LEARNING CURVE FOR I GUESS EVERYONE, SO I THANK HIM FOR STICKING WITH US. UM WE DID REVIEW THIS ON APPLICATION UNDER WITH RESPECT TO CHAPTERS THREE, WHICH IS THE MAIN PART OF THE CODE.

6.9 WHICH IS THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND ALSO INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH IS IN CHAPTER SEVEN, UM AND ALSO 12 POINT DASH EIGHT DISCUSSES THE MAJOR SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS. SO THOSE OF THE SECTIONS OF THE CODE WE. WE FOCUSED ON FOR THIS

[01:30:02]

UM ANOTHER CRITERIA WE LOOK AT IS DEALING WITH PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND ROADS AGAIN.

THE LEVEL OF SERVICE IN THIS AREA IS VERY GOOD. MAXIMUM LEVEL OF SERVICE IN THE VILLAGES. CASES. D WE'RE AT A OR B, ACCORDING TO THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND ONE SEGMENT OF C, BUT WE AGAIN THIS PROJECT DOES NOT. DETRIMENTALLY AFFECT THE ROADWAY SYSTEM. RIGHT THERE. ON AGAIN. UM, WE'RE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL WITH 11 CONDITIONS. THE P C. A B DIDN'T HEAR THIS ITEM AND APRIL 1ST AND RECOMMENDED ALSO APPROVAL. UM JUST SOMEONE UNDER STANDARD CONDITIONS, BUT THE MAJOR ONES I WANTED TO JUST BRING UP OUR LANDSCAPING SO. TO START GETTING THE SAME READY. THEY HAVE OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO CLEAR THE SITE, SO ONE CONDITION IS AS SOON AS THEY CLEAR THE SITE AND IT'S GETTING READY FOR CONSTRUCTION THAT THEY PLANT.

SOME OF THESE TREES. I CAN'T PRONOUNCE THE QUARRY MEN VIA TWITTER ANA TREES ALONG THE PROPERTY, SO THEY START GROWING AND PAT. HOW BUFFER CONSTRUCTION FROM THE ROADWAY.

UM AND ALSO ANOTHER CONDITION WILL BE IF OLD FOX BROWN ROAD WHICH IS TO THE WEST AND THE ACTUAL VILLAGE BOUNDARY, IF THAT IS EVER CONSTRUCTED THROUGH. THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO IN AND PLANT 20 POINT TREES. MAX SIDE RIGHT NOW WITH NOT A ROADWAY, YOU KNOW, S O.

AT THAT TIME IT IS CONSTRUCTED, THEY WOULD HAVE TO PLANT THE TREES. AND JUST FOR A LEVEL OF COMFORT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THESE CONDITIONS, BUT A MAIN CONDITION IS WHEN THIS DEVELOPER OR ANY DEVELOPING THE VENTRAL PREP YOU D WHEN THEY COME IN FOR THESE APPROVALS.

THEY HAVE TO ABIDE BY ANY. CONDITIONS IN THAT PEW D THAT MAY AFFECT THEM SO. THERE ARE OTHER CONDITIONS IN THE PUY DE THAT GREEN CARD HAVE TO ABIDE BY, SO THAT'S JUST WE'RE GOING TO, YOU KNOW ANYTHING THAT COMES IN AND THAT PIA DE, IT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME COMMENT.

WITH THAT I FINISHED MY PRESENTATION AND BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. AS THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. DOES MR MARTIN WANT TO COME AND SAY SOME WORDS?

NO OFF OF FOX BROWN. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH. I SPEAK JANET BYS MERRICK PARK. GO AHEAD.

[01:35:05]

THERE ARE WATER A MEDIATION APPLICATIONS WHERE THE PRODUCT ACTUALLY HOLDS AND ABSORBS ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICITY. HEAVY METALS. UM THERE ARE, UM UM. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING. REPLACING WHAT CURRENTLY IS FAIRLY HEAVY CARBON FOOTPRINT IN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS. ONE MIGHT BE THE BLACK PLASTICS THAT ARE HERE IN FRONT OF ME ON THIS MICROPHONE OR BLACK PLASTICS IN THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY. WHERE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A GREEN OR A SUSTAINABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR WHAT USED IN BLACK PLASTICS. OUR PRODUCT. WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR THAT, AND WE HAVE EXTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT WORK AROUND THAT. AT THE MOMENT. THERE ARE OTHER APPLICATIONS IN THE POULTRY INDUSTRY TO IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENT FOR CHICKENS THAT ARE GROWN FOR. GUESS OUR BENEFIT. FOOD AND EGGS. SO. UM TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WITH WHAT THE APPLICATIONS ARE. THE APPLICATIONS ARE AROUND SUSTAINABILITY AND IMPROVING SUPPLY CHAINS THAT ARE THERE TODAY. THE SOURCE OF OUR RAW MATERIALS WILL BE FLORIDA SOURCED, AND THAT WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL AGRICULTURE TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT US. WE WILL SOURCE PRODUCT LOCALLY. AND THE TARGET MARKETS ARE PREDOMINANTLY FLORIDA AND SOME OF IT MAY GO MORE BROADLY INTO THE OTHER STATES IN THE U. S. AND THERE MAY BE SOME EXPORT OF THE PRODUCT, TOO. THANK YOU AND THEN ALSO. YOU KNOW, THE THERE WAS SOME CONCERN ABOUT NON NATIVE PLANTS THAT YOU'D THERE THERE WOULD BE PLANTING. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT? I BELIEVE THAT WAS A QUESTION REGARDING LANDSCAPING. ON THE NORTHERN BORDER. WELL IN OUR LANDSCAPING, I GUESS AND AS IT RELATES THE LANDSCAPING CODE, THERE'S A REQUIREMENT TO USE THE PREDOMINANT AMOUNT OF THE LANDSCAPING BEING FLORIDA NATIVE SPECIES AND THEN A SMALL PORTION COULD BE NONE. FLORIDA NATIVE SPECIES. WE'VE MET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CODE. AND EXCEEDED THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CODE. THERE WAS SOME NON NATIVE SPECIES, BUT THEY'RE ALL APPROVED AZAZ AS LANDSCAPING. PLANTS AND I GUESS THE ONE THAT MIGHT BE THE COMMENT THAT MR DAVID MADE AROUND THEM PLANTING ON THE NORTHERN BORDER. THERE'S

[01:40:04]

WITHIN OUR BUSINESS THAT THAT EXCLUDES ANY OTHER SERVICE RELATED JOBS THAT THAT MAYBE AS A RESULT OF US BUYING SERVICES HERE LOCALLY. THE SKILL SETS RANGE FROM A SEMI SKILLED TOO SKILLED AND SO WE WOULD SEE THE OPPORTUNITY. TONTO FILL POSITIONS ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF THEM OFF THE COMMUNITY. WE WOULD LOOK TO FILL MOST FROM THE COMMUNITY HERE AND. BUT WE CAN'T FILL HERE LOCALLY, WE WILL LOOK MORE BROADLY FOR AND MAYBE ONE OR TWO POSITIONS. WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY, BUT BUT IF THEY'RE HERE, OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO FILL THOSE POSITIONS HERE LOCALLY. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU KNOW YOU'RE OUR FIRST OFFICIAL APPLICATION. I KNOW THE HOOPS THAT YOU'VE GONE. YOU'VE GONE THROUGH. UM I APPRECIATE THE PATIENTS. HAVE YOU'VE HAD THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS? UM THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ANY IN TOWN FOR MAKING IT A BASE. UM AND. JUST IF YOU NEED TO, YOU KNOW, SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE JOB. FAIR CONTACT OUR VILLAGE MANAGER AND WE CAN YOU KNOW WE HAVE EMAIL BLAST AND THAT IT SPREAD THE WORD FOR YOU KNOW, LOCAL EMPLOYMENT. AND COUNCILMAN, DARLING. YEAH I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THE SAME SENTIMENTS THAT OUR MAYOR HAS SHARED. JUST THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CHOOSING INDIAN TOWN. EXCUSE ME. I THINK THAT AS WE ARE PROGRESSING AS A COMMUNITY, UM. THIS COMPANY WILL BE VERY VITAL TO THIS SUSTAINABILITY THAT THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THIS COMMUNITY AND LET ME EXPLAIN SO TODAY I WAS OUT AT THE UM AT THE, UM UH, THE COMMUNITY GARDEN. AND ONE OF THE NEEDS THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT IS THAT THEY HAVE TO HAUL DIRT IN A LOT OF THAT THAT WAS DONATED BY OUTSIDE, YOU KNOW, BY OUTSIDE SOURCES, AND SO YOU KNOW, JUST THAT EXAMPLE ALONE. YOU KNOW, WE'LL BE ABLE TO GO RIGHT DOWN THE STREET IN ORDER TO, YOU KNOW, GET WHAT WE NEED. SO I'M EXCITED TO HAVE YOU HERE. THANKS SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING THAT TO THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE I. YOU KNOW, USUALLY, YOU KNOW THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN, YOU KNOW

[01:45:05]

UM, AND IT WAS BROUGHT UP BY RESIDENTS OF FOX BROWN. HOW MANY TRUCKS WILL BE COMING FROM THIS PLANT, AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FEW. I THINK OUT THE I THINK IT WAS SHE'S DIMENSIONS.

MAYBE AROUND 30 THAT ENDED UP BEING. SO THERE'S GONNA BE A BUNCH OF TRUCKS DALY COMING FROM THIS PLANT. SO WHAT I ASK IS THAT. LIKE I SAID, I THINK IT'S A GOOD PROJECT. BUT NOW LET'S TAKE IT TO THE M P O AND SAY, MPO. WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ROADS.

BECAUSE THESE ROADS THEY'RE ALREADY DANGEROUS WITH THESE BIG TRUCKS, AND NOW WE'RE GONNA ADD MORE. SO WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN PROTECT THE RESIDENTS OF THE ENTIRE INDIAN TOWN WHO ARE ABOUT TO HAVE THIS INCREASED TRAFFIC, WHICH WAS WHAT THE U. S EQUAL, JEN. THAT WAS A CONCERN AS WELL. AT THAT TIME. WHAT THE ADDED TRUCKLOAD ON THE ROAD. TRUCKS ON THE ROAD, SO. I JUST WONDER BRING THAT UP, BUT I THINK THAT'S A GOOD PROJECT AND WORTH TAKING FORWARD. THANK YOU, MR HAFFNER, ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? NO, MADAM MAYOR ROLE CALM, PLEASE. COUNCIL MEMBER, DARLING. COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS UH VICE MAYOR CLARKE.

YES, MAYOR HERNANDEZ. YES. THANK YOU, MR MARTIN. MR VILLAGE ATTORNEY ITEM NUMBER

RESOLUTION NO. XXX-2021:  A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF INDIANTOWN, FLORIDA, CHANGING THE STREET NAME OF ADAMS AVENUE TO E. THELMA WATERS AVENUE IN HONOR OF E. THELMA WATERS’ LEGACY AND IMPACT ON THE INDIANTOWN COMMUNITY; AND, PROVIDING FOR FINDINGS, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

AND CONSIDERING THE DIRECTION WE GOT BEFORE WE WANTED TO MAKE CLARIFICATION THAT THAT IS WHAT THE FAMILY EXPECTS. AND IN THIS CASE, THAT DOES MEAN. CURRENT RESIDENTS USING THIS ADDRESS WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR ADDRESS. TO E OR SOUTHWEST E FILM OF WATERS AVENUE. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? OUT THERE. DID YOU WANT TO GO OVER THE PORTION ABOUT DESIGNATING ADAMS AVENUE OR ADAMS AVENUE AS AN ALIAS? YES, IT'S PART OF THE REQUEST. WE WOULD ASK THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE TO DESIGNATE SOUTHWEST E THERMAL WATERS AVENUE AS. ADAMS AVENUE

[01:50:08]

CAN YOU CLARIFY? ARE YOU SAYING THAT WHICH WOULD BE THE ALIAS AND YOU'RE WELL, SO I THINK THAT WE DO THE TWO THE TWO STREET NAMES. AND IF THE THERMAL WATERS IS THE ALIAS TO WHERE THE RESIDENTS DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR ADDRESS, THEN I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE TO ME THAT WAS SEEMED LIKE THE. YOU KNOW, I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF THAT. I. SO, SO THAT IS KIND OF MY THOUGHTS, BUT I'M CURIOUS TO HEAR WHAT THE REST OF THE BOARD SAY SO TO CLARIFY. THAT IS THE DIRECTIVE WE RECEIVED AT THE LAST MEETING. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I'M A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED. NOW. HOLD UP. WE'RE NOT DONE. UH WE'RE NOT GOING AFTER. YOU MEAN SHE'S NOT GOING WELL. ONLY THESE THREE SIGN GONNA HAVE MISS WATERS NAME ON IT, AND THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR ADDRESS YESTERDAY. YES. SO THAT MEANS AVON'S WILL BE ABLE TO GET ANTHONY AND THIS WATER'S NAME WILL BE ON TIME. BUT THE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE THE EFFORTS. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING ME. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY TO JUMP IN. OUR BROWNFIELDS ME AT YOU. THE ANSWER. THAT QUESTION IS NO. VICE MAYOR. OKAY UM, WHAT'S ON

[01:55:08]

OKAY, SO THAT'S Z. WHAT'S ON THE IT? ON THE. AGENDA AND MY THAT IS CORRECT. VILLAGE MANAGER I HAD BELIEVED THAT THE VICE MAYORS QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE LAST STATEMENT THAT WAS MADE. THAT'S HOW I WAS ANSWERING IT. THANK YOU. I THINK WE JUST SAID YOU SAID THE SAME THING THAT I HAD. AH, UH, MR BROWN. OKAY? OKAY? SO, COUNSELOR AND GIVE SOME THANK YOU. SO THE RESOLUTION THAT IS BEFORE US. I JUST LET ME BEAT A DEAD HORSE HERE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. RESOLUTION THAT WE HAVE HERE BEFORE US. IS OFFICIALLY CHANGING THE NAME.

OF THE STREET TO EAT THELMA WATERS AVENUE. AND IT WOULD STILL ALLOW THE POST OFFICE. TO DELIVER MAIL. IF IT SAYS SOUTHWEST ADAMS AVENUE CORRECT. THAT IS CORRECT, OKAY? SO THIS WOULD ACTUALLY CHANGE THE NAME. THE FILM WATERS AND THEN BE. ALIAS WOULD BE SOUTH WEST ADAMS. THAT IS CORRECT, OKAY? OUT SOUTHWEST ADAMS WOULD NOT SHOW UP ANYWHERE ON THE SIGN.

IT'S JUST THAT THE POST OFFICE WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO DELIVER. TO IF IT WAS THE ADDRESS OF SOUTHWEST OUT. YES I AM TIME ONLY. THE POST OFFICE, ONLY THE POST OFFICE OKAY? OKAY. THANK YOU. AND JUST TO ADD ON THAT. THEY LEGALLY NEED TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS SO THEY CAN'T JUST LEAVE IT TO ADAMS AVENUE FOREVER. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT WOULD BE AT THEIR DISCRETION.

WHAT I'M TRYING TO INPUT EMPHASIZES THAT. BE MORTGAGE RECORDS. ANY RECORDS OF THIS ADDRESS BEYOND THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION, WHICH WILL NOT CHANGE THE LEGAL ADDRESS. WILL BE SOUTHWEST EAT DOMA WATERS AVENUE. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET THE RECORDS CORRECTED.

BECAUSE THIS WILL BE A LEGAL NAME CHANGE. SO FOR A BUSINESS. ALL THEIR STATIONERY ALL THEIR BUSINESS CARDS THEY CAN STILL USE UP. STATIONARY THAT SAYS SOUTHWEST ADAMS AVENUE. THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT IMMEDIATELY. GET NEW STATIONERY. GET ALL THAT BECAUSE IT WOULD STILL BE DELIVERED TO THEM AT SO THEN, WHEN IT CAME TIME TO REORDER. THEY COULD CHANGE THINGS LIKE THAT. YES, OKAY. OKAY? AND THEY'RE HIGHLY SUGGESTED TO CHANGE THAT NAME.

WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD. DO YOU KNOW IF THE POST OFFICE HAS I KNOW LIKE WHEN SOMEONE MOVES OUT TO A NEW ADDRESS. A HAVE, LIKE SIX MONTHS. WELL BECAUSE ADAM'S AVENUE WILL BE AN ALIAS.

WHEN EVER, SOMETHING GOES TO ADAM'S SOUTHWEST ADAMS AVENUE, 34956. INDIAN TOWN, IT WILL STILL BE DELIVERED. HERE. OKAY, GOT IT. A YEAR FROM NOW, THREE YEARS FROM NOW. I THINK HE WAS TALKING ABOUT LEGAL DOCUMENTS. IF SOMEBODY HAVING MORTGAGE WHAT'S THAT WHAT YOU WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT IDEA? ACCORDING TO THOSE THAT I SPOKE TO AT THE POST OFFICE ONCE THE NAME LEGALLY BECOMES SOUTHWEST, THE THERMAL WATERS AVENUE. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEIR DOCUMENTS.

ANY DRIVER'S LICENSE, ETCETERA REFLECT LEGAL ADDRESS. OKAY DO WE HAVE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS?

Request for Donation - Indiantown Community Athletic Association

DONATION OF $5000, AND IT CAME BEFORE THE COUNCIL ON FEBRUARY 25TH WHETHER THE REQUEST AND THEY WERE ASKED TO FILL OUT. DONATION APPLICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWNS DONATION POLICY. THEY HAVE SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION AND WE HAVE REVIEWED IT MYSELF. THE VILLAGE MANAGER, AND THEIR REQUEST OF FOR A CASH AWARD MEETS ALL OF THE CRITERIA. WHICH IS OUTLINED IN THE DONATION POLICY. AND JUST FOR IF WE DON'T, ALTHOUGH I SEE A HAS BEEN PROVIDING YOU SPOKE SPORTS PROGRAMS AND SOCCER AND FOOTBALL FOR APPROXIMATELY 300 PLUS KIDS. RESIDE IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN SINCE THE COUNTY STOPPED OFFERING YOUTH PROGRAMS A FEW YEARS AGO. GIVING NICE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO STEP IN AND FILL THIS COMMUNITY NEEDS SO UM. I BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL DEFINITELY HELP THEIR ORGANIZATION OFFSET THE COST AND ACTUALLY, WHAT IT'LL DO MOSTLY IS KEEP THE COSTS DOWN FOR OUR KIDS WHO ARE PLAYING. BY OFFSETTING THE COST OF THE REGISTRATION FEES TO PLAY IN THOSE PROGRAMS. DO I HAVE ANY COUNCIL COMMENTS OR EMOTION. HAVE A QUESTION COUNSEL. ONE GIVES THOMAS MR SCOGGINS. WHEN. THE FIELDS ARE UTILIZED. BY THIS ORGANIZATION. IS THERE A CHARGE FOR THAT? OR LIGHTS OR ANY OF THAT? NO MA'AM, WE DO NOT CHARGE THEM FOR LIGHTS OR FIELD RESERVATIONS, AS WE DO FOR ALL THE OTHER GROUPS OTHER THAN I SEE A, UM. THE REASON WHY WE HAVE BEEN DOING THAT OBVIOUSLY IS BECAUSE THEY'RE PROVIDING. ESSENTIALLY THE USE SPORTS PROGRAMS FOR THE KIDS AND THE PARTICIPANTS WHO LIVE IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN.

SO WE SUPPORT HIM IN THAT WAY. OKAY, SO WE'RE ALREADY SO. WE'RE ALREADY SUPPORTING THEM FINANCIALLY BY PICKING MED UP. SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE ARE CHARGING? WHO ARE THEY HAVE? THEY'RE NOT? THEY'RE NOT. KIDS WHO ARE THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE ARE CHARGING TO USE FIELDS. WE CHARGE THE TROPICAL SOCCER LEAGUE, WHICH IS AN MEN'S ADULT SOCCER LEAGUE THAT'S BEEN PLAYING THERE FOR YEARS. THEY PLAY ALL OVER THE TREASURE COAST ACTUALLY. A ZWELLING AS WE HAVE A COUPLE OF WOMEN'S GROUPS THAT THAT PLAY SOCCER.

BECAUSE THEY COULD BE INVOLVED IN THE TROPICAL SOCCER LEAGUE AND. THERE'S TWO OF THOSE GROUPS AND THAT'S I THINK THERE'S ONE MORE THAT ACTUALLY RENTS THE FIELDS. THEY SCHEDULE THE LIGHTS THROUGH US RENT, THEY PAY THE FIELD RESERVATION. WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY $20 AN HOUR. THEY'RE USUALLY OUT THERE A COUPLE OF HOURS EITHER ONE OR TWO TIMES A WEEK, AND WE DO INVOICE THEM AT THE END OF EVERY MONTH FOR THEIR RESERVATION AND USE. UM, BUT WE

[02:05:01]

AND ESSENTIALLY HELPING US KEEP OUR COSTS DOWN BY HAVING ACCESS TO TURN OFF LIGHTS OF THE END EARLIER, THEY GET RAINED OUT, OR THEY MAKE CHANGES TO THE SCHEDULE. THEY'VE BEEN REAL GOOD AT COMMUNICATING. ALL OF THOSE ISSUES WITH ME. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO DO WE HAVE A POLICY THAT DETERMINES WHO WE DO? AND WHO WE DO NOT. CHARGE FOR THESE SERVICES. HE USES THE FIELDS. HOW IS THAT DETERMINED? AND HOWARD, YOU MAY HAVE TO HELP ME WITH THIS WHEN I BELIEVE THAT WE DO HAVE A CONTRACT. YOU SPORTS AGREED WITH MY CIA. THAT'S RIGHT. WE HAVE WE HAVE SEVERAL YOUTH SPORTS AGREEMENTS WITH, UM. WITH ICY A WITH I'M COMMITTED AND THERE WAS A THIRD. THERE WAS A THIRD WHEN I THINK THAT WE HAVE A NEW SPORTS AGREEMENT WITH AND IT SPELLS OUT ALL OF THAT, AND THAT'S WHY WE GIVE THE LIGHTS. NOTHING'S FOR FREE.

THOSE ORGANIZATIONS. OKAY, SO THESE OTHER SOCCER LEAGUES, THEY DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THAT SAME KIND OF OVEN AGREEMENT. WELL WHEN WE FIRST TOOK OVER THE PARKS, WE HAVE THOSE AGREEMENTS IN PLACE. BUT SINCE THAT TIME, ONE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS I THINK ARE NO LONGER. OPERATING I THINK IT'S I'M COMMITTED IS NOT OPERATING ANYMORE, OKAY, BUT BUT THESE THESE OTHER SONG, THESE MEN'S AND WOMEN'S SOCCER LEAGUES AND THESE OTHER PEOPLE UTILIZING IT. THESE THESE LEGS, THEY DON'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER INTO THE SAME TYPE OF AN AGREEMENT. I MEAN, THEY COULD, BUT THEY'RE THEY'RE DIFFERENT, THOUGH. YES, THEY'RE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY CHARRED PAPER THE FIELDS. THOSE THOSE TROPICAL AND THOSE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.

THEY ACTUALLY PAY FOR THE FIELDS, BUT WE HAVE A USE SPORTS LEAGUE AGREEMENT THAT WE CARRIED OVER FROM MARTIN COUNTY WITH I C A SO. BUT IT'S COUNCILWOMAN THOMAS. THE ALL THE OTHER GROUPS ARE ADULT GROUPS. UM A SOUR WAS MENTIONING. I'M COMMITTED AND CAN'T REMEMBER THE OTHER ONE. BOTH OF THOSE GROUPS HAVE. HAVE BEEN BECOME INACTIVE THAN DO NOT UTILIZE THE FIELDS ANYMORE. SO I SEE A IS THE ONLY USE SPORTS PROVIDER AT THIS TIME IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN DOWN. OKAY? IN MY MIND, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT AND I GET THAT BUT THESE OTHER. PEOPLE UTILIZING THOSE FIELDS. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR USE SPORTS, BUT. YOU KNOW US OLD FOLKS NEED TO USE HIM TOO. I NEED TO GET OUT THERE AND BE ACTIVE AND I AM JUST. I'M JUST CURIOUS WHY WE DON'T CARRY. JUST CARRY THAT ON. JUST MY THOUGHT, WELL, ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE DON'T IS THAT. THE ADULT LEAGUES DO CHARGE THEIR PARTICIPANTS TO PLAY WHICH DOES OFFSET THEIR COSTS OF USING THE FIELDS, AND THEY PAY FEES AND CHARGES THROUGHOUT THE TREASURE COKES. UM WELL, IF AND YOU JUST KIND OF A THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IF WE DID NOT CHARGE THEM, AND THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO CHARGE THEIR PARTICIPANTS, AND MAYBE YOU WOULD GET MORE PARTICIPANTS. JUST LIKE YOU DO FOR THE YOUTH. JUST I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT WITH OUR GROUPS AND THEY AND THEY WOULD CHARGE WITH OR WOULD NOW IT'S A PROFIT. TRUST ME I'VE DONE WITH, UM ADULT GROUPS AND I KNOW HOW IT FUNCTIONS.

THEY CHARGE A FEE. SOME OF IT GOES TO PAY FOR THE FIELDS AND FOR THE REFEREES, AND THE REMAINING GOES TO WHOEVER YOU KNOW FOR THE TROPHIES AND FOR THE WINNING TEAM. AND THEN THE REMAINING BALANCE IS LIKE A PROFIT FOR THE ORGANIZER. UM SO HE CAN, UH, YOU KNOW, KEEP ON PROVIDING IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S DONE. EVERYWHERE. I'VE SEEN IT BECAUSE A LOT OF AH LOT OF THE PEOPLE AREN'T I KNOW THAT AREN'T INVOLVED IN THIS. IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE USED TO, UM. KNOWN SOME SOME PEOPLE IN ANY TOWN EVEN TRAVELED TO CITY SOCCER, WHICH IS BASED IN WEST PALM BEACH. AND THEY PAY JUST TO GO HAVE YOU KNOW A KNAUER SESSION OF PAYING INDOOR

[02:10:04]

ASSOCIATION. UM. BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY SO MANY TEAMS THAT WE HAVE. SO ARE TEAMS DO HAVE TO TRAVEL TO PALM SAID HE JUST A LUCY COUNTY T O JUPITER TO PLAY AGAINST OTHER. OTHER CLUBS, SO YOU KNOW THE OFFSET FOR THEM IS A REAL BIG HELP FOR ESPECIALLY THE FAMILIES THAT ARE THAT ARE HAVING TO PAY ON KEEPING THOSE COSTS MANAGEABLE TO THEM. I SWEAR, CLARK. JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW I WON'T BE ABLE TO VOTE ON THE ISSUE BECAUSE I'M ON THE BOARD, BUT FOR A SUIT FOR COUNCILMAN GIVES INFORMATION. UH SOCCER IS, UH, IS THE BIGGEST SPORTS HERE WE DO HAVE THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE OUT AND SOMETHING WE HAVE THE COMPETITIVE CHEERLEADING OUT.

THOSE ARE THE ONLY THREE THAT I KNOW. BASEBALL HASN'T GOT STARTED UP YET. WE DO SUPPORT KNOWS THREE SPORTS HERE IN BUT IN THE VILLAGE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF NOT DO I HAVE EMOTION? SO I HAVE. AH BEFORE WE VOTE, UM. I THOUGHT THAT WE WERE HAVING A PRESENTATION FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE CIA. NO. THIS. MR. WATSON WAS INVITED TO THE MEETING. I DIDN'T SPEAK WITH HIM YESTERDAY, AND HE INDICATED THAT HE WOULD BE PRESENT. HOWEVER, I DIDN'T SEE HIM PRESIDENT THAT. IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS NOR ONLINE. I KNOW HEIDI DOVE WAS ONLINE EARLIER AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IDEA IS STILL ON THIS. JIM MEETING NOW THAT THAT'S OKAY.

BUT NOT HERE. NO, IT'S OK. IF THEY'RE NOT HERE. I JUST WANTED TO. I THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE

[02:15:03]

REMEMBER, I WON'T BE ABLE TO VOTE GUYS. OKAY? WELL. ME PERSONALLY, I'VE SAID IT BEFORE. IF YOU DO IT FOR THIS ORGANIZATION, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A HUGE LINE LATER ON AND YOU KNOW YOU DON'T WANNA. FAVOR ONE OVER ANOTHER BECAUSE THEY DO ALL A GREAT JOB. AND IN THE IN TOWN, UM. I KNOW THAT THE. ANTON TRUST FUND. THAT'S WHAT IT WAS DESIGNATED FOR. TO HELP THESE AGENCIES SLASH PROGRAMS IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND IT'S GOT IN THE HEAVY HIT. AND I WAS LOOKING AT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND THE ONLY $810 AND THERE OVER THE WHAT MILLIONS OF THE 810 IS BASICALLY WHAT WE HAVE TO DISTRIBUTE. I THINK IF WE WOULD BE AH, MORE ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY. I'D BE WILLING TO SET UP FROM OUR GENERAL FRONT. FUND TO HELP SUPPORT DURING THIS COVE ID. UM AND. IT'S A HARD SITUATION BECAUSE WE'RE JUST BARELY STARTING. AND IF WE ALREADY SAID NO TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB. WE ALREADY SAID NO TO OTHER AGENCIES. I KNOW THIS. THIS IS THIS IS I'M. I SEE THE GREAT STUFF THAT THEY DO IN THE COMMUNITY. I C I A WITH THE SOCCER BASKETBALL. HEIDI DOES A GREAT JOB. WITH THE FOOTBALL, UM. I DON'T KNOW IF IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN TAKE THIS MONEY FROM? NOT USED THE. IN HER FUNDS MONEY, BUT I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO GET MONEY FROM BARREL. WELL, I MEAN, I DON'T I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY HOW MUCH WE HAVE IN ANY TOWN COMMITTEE TRUST FUND. BECAUSE WE WERE PRETTY MUCH. TOOK ALMOST ALL OF IT ON GUY. DON'T YOU KNOW THAT'S CHRIS? OKAY? SO THAT SHOULD HELP. THAT'S HELPFUL. SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE HAVE. SO ANY OTHER COMMENTS.

DOES ANYONE HAVE EMOTION AND THEN? WELL MADAM MAYOR. UM, I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THE TRUST FUND CAUSE I DON'T THINK WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY FUNDS IN THERE, BUT WE CAN GIVE THEM. YOU KNOW,

[02:20:05]

Restructuring of Council Meeting and Workshop Schedule

THE FIRST MEETING OF THE MONTH WOULD BE OUR BUSINESS MEETING AND THE SECOND MEETING. I MUST BE OUT WORKSHOP MEETING STAFF IS ASKING IF YOU MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS ITEM. WE'D LIKE FOR THIS TO START IN JUNE. GIVE US TIME TO SET EVERYTHING UP IF YOU DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT. IS THE COUNSEL HAVE ANY. COMMENTS ON THIS. OR EMOTION. LIKE. GO. GO AHEAD, COUNCILMAN DELI, UM. SO FIRST. UM IT IS. IT IS COOL TO SEE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED, YOU KNOW, COMING BEFORE US. UM UM. I WAS WONDERING, WOULD YOU WOULD THE VILLAGE UM. STAFF NEED MORE TIME BECAUSE I BECAUSE I THINK IN OUR MEETING WE WERE SAYING IN JUNE JULY. WOULD IT BE BETTER TO START THIS TRANSITION IN JULY THAT GIVES US. A LITTLE OVER 60 DAYS TO START THAT TRANSITION PERIOD. CAUSE I WOULD I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO START IN JULY, BUT I WANTED TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS. WELL, YOU KNOW, I REALLY HAVE NOT THOUGHT ABOUT TRANSACTION. AS MUCH AS SUSAN GET SUSAN OWNS AS I THOUGHT ABOUT IT'S SO MAYBE SHE COULD. SO YEAH, I DEFINITELY WANT TO HEAR WHAT OUR STAFF HAS TO SAY. BECAUSE THIS IS THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT YOU GUYS. THE SAME. IS THIS WORKING FIVE DAYS A WEEK? THEY, YOU KNOW. WE WERE CONSIDERING STARTING AT THE EARLIEST IN JUNE THAT ALLOWS US TO GET STUFF THAT'S IN THE PIPELINE THROUGH AND ALSO ENOUGH TIME TO SEND OUT A PRESS RELEASE. LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT WE'RE CHANGING. UM THE EARLIEST BEING JUNE, BUT WE COULD DEFINITELY DO IT. JULY HAVE EXTRA PUBLIC OUTREACH.

YEAH, I AND, YEAH, I THINK I THINK JULY WOULD GIVE US ENOUGH BREATHING TIME BECAUSE I KNOW, YOU KNOW, UM, YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS MOVING AT LIGHT SPEED. UM WHICH TRYING TO GET THINGS DONE AND PUTTING OUT FIRES AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF THAT WE DEAL WITH. SO UM. SO I'LL MAKE EMOTION. UM BUT I'LL DO IT AFTER ALL COMING SAMANTHA MADE TO MOVE IT TO JULY. COUNT ALONE. SUSIE GIVES THOMAS THANK YOU. I UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO LEAVE AND WAS NOT A. AVAILABLE FOR THIS DISCUSSION. AND WHEN I HEARD. OF IT AND IT BEING ON THIS AGENDA. QUITE HONESTLY, IT

[02:25:10]

AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE PILED UP IN ONE BUSINESS MEETING. SO INSTEAD OF HAVING TO BUSINESS MEETINGS WHERE YOU'RE ABLE TO KIND OF DISPERSED THE WORKLOAD. YOU'RE DOUBLE HANDLING, AND YOU'RE GONNA WIND UP WITH A BUSINESS MEETING. THAT IS. LONGER THAN WHAT WE ARE RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS NINE O'CLOCK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE. TO BUSINESS MEETINGS WORTH OF WHATEVER, ON ONE BUSINESS MEETING. AND SO IT BAFFLES ME BECAUSE I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU HAVE A WORKSHOP MEETING WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO DISCUSS. AND REALITY IS WHEN YOU GET TO THE BUSINESS MEETING, YOU'RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING IT ALL OVER AGAIN. UM SO IT JUST I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE REASONING IN IT. AND SO I THINK IT'S DOUBLE HANDLING YOUR MAKING YOUR MEETINGS YOUR BUSINESS MEETINGS TWICE AS LONG BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE TWICE AS MUCH STUFF IN THERE. JUST THINK ABOUT IT. WHAT WE HAVE TO VOTE ON WITHIN A MONTH. IT'S SPREAD OVER TWO MEETINGS. YOU'RE ONLY GONNA HAVE ONE MEETING SO I CAN I CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE WHAT IT'S GONNA DO TO STAFF AND THEM TRYING TO PILE EVERYTHING ON AND US TRYING TO MUDDLE THROUGH.

LIKE I SAID, RIGHT NOW IT'S NINE O'CLOCK. SO JUST THINK ABOUT IF WE HAD EVERYTHING.

THAT WE HAD ON OUR LAST MEETING. ON THIS AGENDA ALSO. HOW MUCH LONGER IT WOULD BE SO IT JUST I DON'T I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. I'M DON'T THINK THAT IT'S A WISE THING. MY THOUGHTS WAS SO IF I CAN, BECAUSE I BROUGHT UP THIS IDEA. LET ME HELP YOU. LET ME HELP YOU UNDERSTAND? SO, UM. FIRST LET ME SAY IS THAT ON I SAID THIS IN OUR APRIL 10TH MEETING UM. NO MATTER HOW LONG WE'RE HERE, WE'RE DOING THE WORK OF THE WERE DOING THE WORK OF THE PEOPLE. AND SO IF IT'S NINE O'CLOCK IT IS 10 O'CLOCK OR IF IT'S TWO O'CLOCK. WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, WE'RE DOING THE WORK OF THE PEOPLE SO. BUT THIS IDEA DERIVED FROM WE HAD MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. EVEN IN THAT MEETING THAT WAS SAYING THAT THEY FEEL LIKE THEY DON'T GET THEIR ANSWERS. HEARD THEY FEEL LIKE WE'RE MOVING TOO FAST. THERE WAS ALL OF THESE. THESE CONCERNS THAT THE RESIDENTS HAS RAISED SO THE IDEA. CAME UP OR DERIVED FROM WHAT WE'LL DO.

WE'LL HAVE ONE AGENDA. FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT WE HAVE TONIGHT AND THIS WOULD BE AT THE AT THE SECOND MEETING WILL WILL HAVE THE PUBLIC TALK. IT IS MORE OF A WORKSHOP SETTING PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS. THAT KIND OF THING, AND THEN THEY TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY. THE STAFF TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET ANSWERS AND GET ALL YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR NEED, AND THEN WE VOTE ON IT AT OUR NEXT MEETING. THIS GIVES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TOOK TO COME AND VOICE THEIR CONCERNS GET THEIR QUESTIONS ANSWERED. AND TO ME, IT ALSO BRIGHT PROVIDES A LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY, WHICH, FOR SOME REASON, THERE'S THIS THOUGHT. THAT WE'RE HIDING THINGS. AND SO, SO THIS SO TO SOLVE THAT IS THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE, UM TWO MEETINGS PER SE, BUT WE'LL HAVE ONE MEETING. AND IN THE FIRST MEETING, WE SHOULD TAKE PLACE. THE LAST PART OF THE MONTH.

WE'LL DISCUSS ALL THE STUFF THAT'S ON THE AGENDA. GET ALL THE QUESTIONS ANSWERED. MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE AND THEN AT OUR NEXT MEETING. THEN WE ACTUALLY TAKE VOTES ON, YOU KNOW, TAKE TAKE ACTION ON IT, AND I THINK IT ALSO CAME UP DURING THAT TIME THAT WE MAY HAVE TO TAKE ACTION ON CERTAIN THINGS. DEPENDING IF THEY'RE, UM PRESSING. SO I HOPE THAT CAN PROVIDE SOME CLARITY TO YOU. UM BUT I THINK THIS IS A WIN WIN FOR THE PUBLIC AND GIG IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO OUR STAFF. AND I JUST THINK THAT. HOW WE'RE DOING. WE'RE TRYING TO GIVE US MUCH OPPORTUNITY TO THE PUBLIC IS POSSIBLE, TOO, THAT THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE NOBODY IS TRYING TO SCHEME OR SCAM OR DO ANY OF THAT KIND OF STUFF. UM, UM AND SO, YOU KNOW, THIS GIVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO ALLOW A WHOLE MONTH. OR ARE FOUR WEEKS OR THREE WEEKS TO WHERE WE CAN HAVE THIS AGENDA. TALK ABOUT IT HAVE PUBLIC INPUT, AND THEN WE CAN MOVE ON IT AT AT THE NEXT BUSINESS MEETING. SO THAT WAS THE IDEA BEHIND THAT. UM I HOPE I WAS ABLE TO BRING SOME CLARITY. DEFY MY CANDLE AND GIVES THOMAS UM.

[02:30:05]

EVERYTHING THAT YOU STATED. I GET IT. BUT LIKE I SAID, WE DO THAT AT EVERY MEETING. NOW WE ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO ASK QUESTIONS. WE ANSWER QUESTIONS, AND THAT'S THE REASON WE'RE HERE IS TO SERVE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT WILL. BACKLOG THE SYSTEM. NOT TOO SURE. AND YOU AND YOU JUST STATED THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WILL HAVE TO VOTE ON. WHEN IT COMES UP AT A WORKSHOP SO. JUST I THINK HAVING JUST TWO REGULAR BUSINESS MEETINGS. WHAT YOU CALL BUSINESS MEETINGS A MONTH IS JUST AS APPROPRIATE AS. DOUBLE HANDLING AND CONSIDERING ONE IS A WORKSHOP WHERE YOU'RE NOT EVEN VOTING ON ANYTHING, BUT YOU'RE TALKING IT TO DEATH WHEN YOU TURN AROUND AND HAVE A. REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO ACTUALLY MAKE VOTES ON AND YOU'RE STILL HAVING TO TALK IT BECAUSE THERE WILL BE AN AND IT'S. WE WILL HAVE PEOPLE COMING TO THE BUSINESS MEETING. EVEN THOUGH WE'RE GIVEN EVERYBODY PLENTY OF TIME YOU HAVE PEOPLE COMING TO THE BUSINESS MEETING THAT DIDN'T COME TO THE WORKSHOP, SO THEY'LL BE ASKING QUESTIONS. AND IT IS JUST FOR ME. IT'S JUST TUMBLE, DOUBLE HANDLING IT. JUST MY THOUGHT. I SWEAR, CLARK. THE RESIDENTS OF SEEMED TO HAVE ENJOYED THAT APRIL 10TH. PETIT JIK PLANNING THAT WE WERE, TOO. SO I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE ALSO SUSAN, THEY WAS ABLE TO TALK MORE THAN THREE MINUTES. THANK YOU, VICE WHERE CLARK AND WITH. WITH ME. IT'S. IT'S A GOOD IDEA HAVING A WORKSHOP BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN HEARING THE FRUSTRATION UM. YOU KNOW, THERE'S MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT HAVE QUESTIONS AND, YOU KNOW IT PASSES THERE THREE MINUTES AND. THEN THEY THEY CAN'T ASK THOSE OTHER QUESTIONS. THEN AT THE SAME TIME. YOU HAVE. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT GOING TO SHOW UP TO THE. BUSINESS MEETING OR. NO, THEY'RE NOT GONNA SHOW UP TO THE WORKSHOP WHERE THEY CAN ASK THOSE QUESTIONS. NO SHOW UP TO THE BUSINESS MEETING AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO REITERATE OUR RE EXPLAIN, UM THOSE QUESTIONS. SO IT'S. WORKSHOP IS REALLY GOOD.

BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT. RESIDENTS CONCOMITANT ASK THOSE QUESTIONS, AND I KNOW THE DIFFERENT CITIES DO IT DIFFERENTLY. UM TOWNS, VILLAGES. IT'S THE SAME THING.

AND I'D HAVE TUNE INTO OTHER COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY HAVE THE WORKSHOP BEFORE. OR THEY HAVE I PROBABLY. HALF AN HOUR BEFORE THE QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED. AND YOU ENTER INTO THE BUSINESS MEETING. THAT THAT'S THAT'S ONE WAY OF DOING IT, AND THEY'RE. THEIR NUMBER COMMUNITIES THAT DO IT DIFFERENTLY, AND SO. UM YOU KNOW, MAYBE HE TRIED OUT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. SEE HOW IT WORKS. AND THEN YOU YOU KNOW? GO BACK TO HOW YOU WERE DOING IT. YOU JUST. IT'S UP TO THE COUNCIL. THIS IS DEFINITELY A GRAY AREA HERE. AND I DON'T WANT TO TURN THIS PLACE INTO OKLAHOMA OR CALIFORNIA S O. SO. SO THERE'S SO MANY WAYS TO DO THIS AND YOU KNOW YOU GUYS CAN TRY OUT DIFFERENT VERSIONS AND SEE WHAT FITS WHAT FITS THE COMMUNITY. WHAT FITS WHAT YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO WITH IT SO. BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS I ALWAYS HEAR IS. AND YOU KNOW GOVERNMENTS ALWAYS SLOW BECAUSE THERE'S A PROCESS YOU KNOW, YOU DID GO THROUGH ONE, SO THIS WILL SLOW THE PROCESS FOR CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE NEED TO GET DONE. STAFF NEEDS TO GET DONE. YOU KNOW, YOU ARE. HUGE URGENT THING IS THE WATER UTILITY AND WE SLOW THAT

[02:35:04]

SEE WHAT YOU THINK. YOU KNOW, IF IT IF IT GETS, TOO, BUT ONCE YOU START DOING SOMETHING. YOU KNOW, IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU GOT TO CONTINUE TO DO IT OR PEOPLE JUMP ALL OVER YOUR BUTT ABOUT IT, BUT I GOT TO GO AHEAD. IF I CAN JUST MAKE ONE COMMENT, MADAM MAYOR. HAVING THE WORKSHOPS DIRECTLY BEFORE THE COUNCIL MEETINGS CAN BE PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE THE WORKSHOPS DO GENERALLY FLOW OVER INTO THE MEETING. SO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WAITING FOR THE MEETINGS ARE KIND OF IN LIMBO, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. THERE'S JUST ONE THING TOE KEEP IN MIND. SO DO I HAVE EMOTION? YEAH, I MOVE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE STARTING THE, UM. COUNCIL MEETING AND WORKSHOP AGENDA SCHEDULE IN JULY. DO I HAVE A SECOND? ACTIVE, IMPERSONAL CLARK. DO I HAVE ANY FURTHER COUNSEL DISCUSSION? DO I HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? I DO SEE? YES, PANAMANIAN THERE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS, DAVID HALF KNIFE. YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND MUTUAL MIKE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MY NAME IS DAVID. AFTER UH COMING TO THIS MEETING TONIGHT I AM. I REALLY, REALLY LIKE THIS AGENDA ITEM AND I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF IT. BUT AFTER HEARING COUNSEL WOMEN, TOM GIVES THOMAS SPEAK. YOU KNOW, I DON'T FEEL THE SAME ANYMORE. I MEAN, I AGREE WITH HER. THAT IS AND WITH THAT MORE HERNANDEZ THAT IT IS GOING TO SLOW THINGS DOWN, MAYBE TO STONE AND SLOWING DOWNS. OKAY, BUT I THINK MIGHT BE TOO SLOW. I REALLY APPRECIATE WHERE YOU'RE AT WITH. WANTING TO EDUCATE ON THE TOPICS ARE GOING TO BE COMING BEFORE THE COUNCIL. I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT AND I THINK THAT EDUCATION PIECE HASN'T QUITE BEEN WHERE IT WHERE IT CAN BE. I THINK AFTER HEARING YOUR YOUR YOUR CONVERSATION THIS EVENING. I THINK A GREAT COMPROMISE WOULD BE JUST. WHEN THE AGENDA IS PUT OUT, EXPLAIN THE AGENDA AND THEN PUT WITH THAT EXPLANATION TO WHO TO CONTACT. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON THAT ITEM. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHO TO GO TO. AND WHEN YOU'RE READING THAT AGENDA, YOU KNOW, I READ A LOT OF AGENDAS AND I STILL SOMETIMES, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS S O. I THINK IF WE IF YOU COULD JUST EXPLAIN WHAT THESE ITEMS ARE, AND THEN PUT A CONTACT FOR EACH ITEM. THAT WAY THEY CAN DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE AND CONTACT SOMEBODY BEFORE THAT MEETING. YOU CAN CONTINUE AS YOU ARE JUST MY TWO CENTS. I APPRECIATE THE TIME. THANK YOU, MR HAFTAR, AND WE DO HAVE THIS KAREN SMITH. YES, UH, MISS KAREN SMITH. IF YOU GO AHEAD AND MUTUAL MIKE. HI. GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING HER COMMENT. I WAS ONE OF THE RESIDENTS THAT ATTENDED THE STRATEGIC PLANNING MEETING THAT MORNING OR THAT SATURDAY, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A WONDERFUL IDEA.

PRESENTED BY MR DOWLING. I MYSELF WAS NOT EDUCATED THAT THE PUBLIC COMMENT AT THE COUNCIL MEETINGS WERE. COMMENT ON LEE AND DIDN'T HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED. I FELT LIKE AT THE STRATEGIC PLANNING MEETING, I HAD A LOT MORE QUESTIONS ANSWERED ON THAT THERE WAS GREAT TRANSPARENCY WITH THE COUNCIL, WHICH I APPRECIATED. UM, I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT THINGS TO SLOW DOWN ON PROGRESS BEING DONE AT THE BUSINESS MEETINGS, WHICH I THOUGHT.

SPECIAL MEETINGS BEING HELD IN PLACE OF A POTENTIAL WORKSHOP WAS A GREAT IDEA. I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T WANT TO COMPROMISE SO WE'RE NOT SLOWING BUSINESS DOWN, BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST GIVING YOUR RESIDENTS AND EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE THEIR ISSUES. QUESTIONS CONCERNS AND AN INFORMAL MANNER BE ADDRESSED BY THE COUNCIL BY THE MANAGER BY THE ATTORNEY TO

[02:40:06]

THAT THAT'S NOT A PART OF THE, UM THAT'S NOT A PART OF THE MOTION. SO YEAH. YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE MOMENT STUFF. WELL, I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO NAME SO WE'RE GOING. TO ALL RIGHT. SO IS THERE ANOTHER MOTION? IS THERE ANOTHER MOTION? HMM. WELL, WELL. COUNCILMAN STONE IS NOT PRESENT DISEASE, TOO. MAYBE WE CAN WAIT AND BRING US BACK WHEN HE'S HERE. OKAY WE'LL BRING YOU BACK TO THE NEXT COUNCIL THAT THE WILL OF THE COUNCIL. YES. BRING HER BACK.

YES, I SAY YES. BRING YOU BACK. UH I SAY NO, BUT YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS LIKE I'M OUT VOTED SO.

WELL YEAH, I THINK WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND VOTE VOTE ON THIS, BUT, YEAH. OH, GOD. OKAY NEXT TIME, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN SO WHAT CAN WE DO? AND NOW YOU COULD DO WITH THIS, TUTU.
