I THINK HER NAME IS LINDA IVORY, PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, SPEAK SEVERAL TIMES AT THE MEETINGS, AND SHE REPORTS TO BE THE VOICE OF BOOKER PARK. SHE ENCOURAGES YOU TO KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND NOT TO LISTEN TO THOSE OF US WHO DISAGREE WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE BACKED BY PRAYER AND FAITH. CONCERNED CITIZENS OF THE COMMUNITY BETWEEN SOUTHWEST FAMILY AVENUE AND FIRM WOULD FOREST ROAD CAME OUT AND MET TWICE AT TIMER POWERS PARK AND WE OPENED IN PRAYER AND JESUS, HIS NAME. AND SOME ARE STILL PRAYING AND BELIEVING INDIAN TOWN VILLAGE COUNCIL WILL PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE SPECIFIC COMMUNITY AND SAVE THE OAK HAMMOCK FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. AT THE VILLAGE ALLOWS THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THE ENTIRE VILLAGE WILL LOSE THESE OAKS AND WILDLIFE BECAUSE IT WILL BE BULLDOZED TO PUT IN 152 102 STORY RENTAL HOMES BETWEEN CURRENT COMMUNITIES. HAVE RESIDENTIAL HOME LOTS THAT RANGE FROM THE SMALLEST AT 0.28 ACRES TO ABOUT THREE ACRES, WITH THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE BEING 30.8 ACRES. THOSE OF US COUNTRY. PEOPLE WHO ALREADY LIVE HERE WILL BE OUTNUMBERED 3 TO 1 BY THE NEW CITY SUBURB AND PEOPLE MOVING HERE. WE'RE PRAYING TO SAVE AND PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. GOD BLESS THE VILLAGE COUNCIL AND OUR INDIAN TOWN. J P PASS QUALITY AND FAMILY. NEXT ONE IS. I'M DOROTHY HOPPED. APOLOGIZE IF I NATE, MISTER PRONOUNCE THAT. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY NEIGHBORS RECEIVED A NOTICE REGARDING THIS COMPANY TO BE BUILT BEHIND MY HOME AND I DID NOT RECEIVE SUCH A NOTICE. HOWEVER I DID READ SOME OF THE AGENDA FOR MAY 20TH THE MAY 20TH MEETING. THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE THIS PROJECT IS APPROVED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS BUSINESS IS OPEN FROM EIGHT A.M. TO NINE PM WHAT WILL THE NOISE LEVEL B AND HURT OUR QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD? BECAUSE THE LIGHTS LOUD SPEAKER AND CUSTOMERS PICKING UP MERCHANDISE. THIS WILL ALSO CAUSE OUR HOMES TO DEVALUATE AND NO ONE WILL WANT TO BUY IN HERE. APPARENTLY MR SCOTT ZEDNIK FROM. FLORIDA MASTER NATURALIST MADE IN INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY AND ONLY FOUND A FEW BIRDS. I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH HIM AS MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE NUMEROUS BIRD FEEDERS. AND BIRDS HOUSED ON OUR PROPERTY.

WE HAVE WOODPECKERS. WE HAVE A FAMILY OF OTTERS, THREE BABIES AND TWO ADULTS PLAYING IN THE STREAM. I BELIEVE THE SNAKE THAT WAS ON OUR PORCH WAS AN INDIGO SNAKE. WE HAVE A FAMILY OF DEER. WHERE DO ALL THESE ANIMALS GO? WHEN YOU REMOVE ALL THE TREES THAT YOU PLAN TO REMOVE? TREES ALSO ABSORB THE WATER WHEN WE HAVE FLOODING. AND IN OUR STREAM FROM HEAVY RAIN. THESE TREES ALSO PROTECT US FROM HEAVY STORMS FROM THE WEST. PLEASE DO NOT RUSH INTO APPROVAL OF THIS PROJECT. THERE'S LAND NORTH AND SOUTH OF US THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY TREES ON THEM.

Fire/EMS Negotiations Update With Martin County

GENTLEMEN THE COUNCIL AND THAT MR VILLAGE MANAGER IN THE LETTER. WHAT WE TRIED TO DO WAS OUTLINE POTENTIAL PROJECTS, AND I'M SORRY. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, YES. OKAY WHAT WE TRIED TO DO IS OUTLINE POTENTIAL PROJECTS AND POTENTIAL INVESTMENTS. UM DIRECTLY DIRECTED TO WARD FIRE FLOW OR FIRE PROTECTION THAT WE COULD DO WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF INVESTMENT BASED UPON THE DISCUSSION THAT MR BROWN AND I HAD REGARDING A COUNTY CONTRIBUTION. SO WE LOOKED AT WELL TO START WITH A LITTLE BACKGROUND. I'M NOT GOING TO GET TOO FAR IN THE WEEDS, BUT FIRE PROTECTION IS DIFFERENT FOR RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL AREAS. RESIDENTIAL BY AND LARGE, WE HAVE SUFFICIENT FIRE FLOW IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS THAT WE CAN CURRENTLY REACH WITH WATER. THE INDUSTRIAL AREAS, HOWEVER, ARE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN.

BOTH EAST AND WEST. I'M GONNA CALL IT EAST AND WEST ON STATE ROAD, 7 10, WEST OF TOWN AND WEST FARM ROAD, WEST OF TOWN OR SOUTHWEST OF TOWN. AND THEN EAST OF TOWN ALONG THE CITRUS BOULEVARD QUARTER, ALL OF WHICH ARE WITHIN OUR SERVICE AREA. SO THE DIFFICULTY BECOMES THE TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL FIRE FLOW IS ACTUALLY HALF OF WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FOR INDUSTRIAL

[00:35:03]

PROTECTION IS WELL, WE WOULD LOOK AT ADDING ONE DEDICATED FIRE PUMP, WHICH WOULD BE AH HIGHER FLOW PUMP, AND THAT PUMP WOULD ONLY COME ON. WHEN DEMANDS OR SOME SUCH IN OTHER WORDS OF FIRE WITHIN THE VILLAGE DEMANDS ARE SUCH THAT IT OUTSTRIPS THE ABILITY OF OUR CURRENT PUMPING SYSTEM TO KEEP UP IF IT WERE VERY BAD FIRE, SO THAT'S AN UNLIKELY SCENARIO, BUT IT'S POSSIBLE IN ANY MUNICIPALITY. SO AT 300,000 ANNUALLY WE PROPOSED EITHER.

AND DEDICATED PUMP AND THEY GROUND STORAGE TANK AT THE PLANT. NOW THAT DOES NOTHING TO ADD FIRE PROTECTION TO CURRENTLY UNPROTECTED AREAS OF THE VILLAGE. WHAT IT DOES IS IT REINFORCES OUR ABILITY. SHOULD WE HAVE A CATASTROPHIC FIRE WITHIN OUR CURRENT FIRE SERVICE AREA? SO IN LOOKING AT LARGER PROJECTS THAT WOULD COVER THE EAST AND WEST CORRIDORS. UM ONE OF THOSE IS A RE PUMP FACILITY AND AN ADDITIONAL MILE OF PIPE. HMM. THE OTHER IS THEY LOOPED SYSTEM DOWN THE WEST SIDE THROUGH S FARM ROAD. BOTH THOSE PROJECTS TO CONSTRUCT IN THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT ARE LIKELY IN EXCESS OF 2 TO $2.5 MILLION, SO THEY FAR EXCEED THE AMOUNT WE WERE LOOKING AT WITH THE POTENTIAL 300,000 YEAR SO WE COULD PROVIDE. DESIGN AND SURVEYING OF THOSE TWO PROJECTS, WHICH WOULD LEAVE US WITH SHOVEL READY PROJECTS IN BOTH OF THOSE AREAS WHERE WE COULD LOOK FOR FUNDING TO PROVIDE THE FIRE PROTECTION AND THE REINFORCEMENT IN THOSE AREAS, BUT IT WOULD NOT CURRENTLY MEET. FIRE PROTECTION DEMANDS. NO NEITHER QUARTER. SO WHAT WE DID WAS WE LOOKED AT. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO SUPPORT THOSE TWO AREAS AND THAT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MEMO. YOU SAW THE HIGHER NUMBERS WHERE WHAT WE DID IS WE LOOKED AT. WHAT WOULD THE COST FOR EITHER OF THOSE TWO ROUTES BE, IN OTHER WORDS, THE RE PUMP FACILITY. EXCUSE ME AND UPSIZING OF THE MAIN OUT TO THE FAIRGROUND ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN AND THEN LOOPING A 12 INCH MAIN FROM WEST FARM ROAD OUT TO STATE ROAD 17 AT THE POWER PLANT ACCESS, DR. SO THOSE AS I SAID, BOTH OF THOSE WOULD RUN CLOSER TO 2 TO 2.5 MILLION. OKAY. THANK YOU. COUNCILWOMAN SUSAN GIVE THOMAS. YEAH, WELL, START ASKING YOU TO COUNT THE NUMBER OF THEIR FEELINGS AND WE CAN DIRECT PATH. I WOULD LIKE A

[00:40:13]

BUT WAIT IF YOU WANT TO WRITE. YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT. SO YOU. SAVE ME A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

SO, UM COUNCIL MEMBERS. HOWARD AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE MY PHONE JUST NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO IT EVER GET. HARRY AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH SOME MEMBERS OF COUNTY STAFF. CONCERNING. MATTERS THAT HAVE COME UP IN OUR INDIVIDUAL DISCUSSIONS WITH WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS. UM. AND MATTERS THAT MAY RELATE TO THIS NOTE. LET ME QUALIFY THIS IN THIS WAY, ALL RIGHT? UM. THE COUNTY STAFF WE SPOKE TO WHICH IS PRIMARILY THE COUNTY ENTERED THE COUNTY ATTORNEY AND THE. ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY, OUR ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, GEORGE FOCUS. THIS IS JUST STAFF CONVERSATIONS. ALL RIGHT. THE BORDER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAS NOT GIVEN ANY AUTHORIZATION WITH REGARD TO ANYTHING. WE DISCUSS THE PRIMARY REASON WE.

SOUGHT TO HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS IS PRIMARILY TO FEEL OUT STAFF SENSITIVITY TO PARTICULAR ISSUES. AND THAT IS AND THAT IS, UM. THAT IS MY QUESTION. BOTH STAFFS. WHERE DID YOU GUYS MEET IN THE MIDDLE? WHAT WAS AGREEABLE TO BOTH STEPS, NOT WHAT WAS NOT AGREEABLE, BUT. THE OTHER ITEMS THAT STAFF SEEMED TO AGREE UPON. THAT'S NON MONETARY AND I'LL TALK TO HER. ALL THAT STATES ARE UM. SO WHEN WE HAD THOSE DISCUSSIONS, AND WE HAD HEARD THOUGHTS FROM INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS AGAIN, JUST TOW FEEL OUT WHERE WE WERE LOOKING ON THINGS. YEAH. STAFF SEEMED GENERALLY AMENABLE TO AND DIDN'T HAVE A OBJECTION TO THE GENERAL IDEA. IF A NEW ARRANGEMENT WERE TO BE REACHED WITH THE COUNTY FOR FIRE THAT THE COUNTY COULD PROVIDE MONTHLY STATISTICAL REPORTING. ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES OF MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE ON BOTH THE FIRE AND THE MASS SIDE. WE HAD SOME PARTICULAR DISCUSSIONS, GETTING A LITTLE BIT INTO THE WEEDS OF HOW THAT WOULD WORK. WOULD SUGGEST IF THAT WAS SOMETHING BOTH THE COUNCIL WANT TO DO, AND THE PORTER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WANT TO DO. WE COULD FIGURE SOMETHING OUT ALONG THOSE LINES. WE ALSO DISCUSSED AGAIN IS A NON MONETARY MATTER. THEO IDEA THAT ON A PERIODIC BASIS AS PART OF THE. AGREEMENT OUR ARRANGEMENT THAT THE REPRESENTATIVES OF MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE WOULD COME AND PROVIDE REPORTS TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL AND TO THE MEMBERS OF THE INDIAN TOWN COMMUNITY AT YOUR MEETINGS. UM.

IN ADDITION AND I REALLY WANT TO CAUTION ON THIS, OKAY? BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT THAT HAROLD NIGHT. WANTED TO DISCUSS WITH THEM BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE MONEY. THAT THEY PROVIDED AND THE SOURCE OF THOSE FUNDS AND THE CONDITIONS THEY HAD PUT ON IT. AND JUST FOR THE PUBLIC, SO THEY UNDERSTAND, THE BORDER COUNTY COMMISSIONER SAID PROPOSED THAT. PAYMENTS THAT THEY PROPOSED WOULD BE COMING FROM THE AMERICAN RECOVERY ACT FUNDS THAT THE COUNTY IS GOING TO BE RECEIVING. AND THERE ARE LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF THOSE FUNDS. MORE RECENT GUIDANCE HAS COME DOWN FROM THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT ON THAT, BUT EVEN AT THAT TIME. WHEN THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WITH DISCUSSING IT ONE OF THE CLEAR THINGS THAT THAT THEY KNEW THIS MONEY COULD BE SPENT ON WAS FOR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE. OKAY, AND AS RESULT, THEY, UM, THE BORDER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IN THEIR OFFER THAT WAS MADE TO THE VILLAGE SPECIFIED THAT THE MONEY'S THEY WOULD THEY WOULD BE FOR TO GO TOWARDS INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS TO

[00:45:01]

WHAT THEY'VE OFFERED. OKAY? UM OVER FIVE YEARS. THAT WE BREAK OFF ANY FIVE YEAR COMMITMENT TO HAVING A FIVE YEAR COMMITMENT TO HAVING FIRE SERVICE FROM MARTIN COUNTY. TAKE THAT OFF FROM THE SCHEDULE OVER WHICH THEY PAY IT. TO SAY IT REALLY SHORTLY THAT WE WOULD GET THE MONEY. ALL FOR ONE CAPITAL PROJECT UP FRONT. OKAY, BECAUSE WHAT WE URGE WITH STAFF WAS THE IDEA THAT SPACING IT OUT WHATEVER THE AMOUNT WOULD BE OVER FIVE YEARS WOULD END UP BEING A NUMBER OF SMALLER. POTENTIALLY VERY INEFFICIENT PROJECTS. AND AGAIN, THIS IS ONLY STEP. I REALLY WANT TO CAUTION THIS BECAUSE I KNOW FOLKS ARE LISTENING TO THIS.

ALL RIGHT? THE STAFF WE SPOKE TO DID NOT HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTION TO THAT AND UNDERSTOOD. THE IDEA THAT THEY'RE RECEIVING THAT MONEY IN A BIG CRUNCH AND THAT IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE TO USE IT IN A LARGER CAPITAL PROJECTS SO WAY. WE FELT GOOD HEARING THAT AT THE VERY LEAST FROM FROM STAFF. UM YEAH. THAT'S THAT'S ABOUT WHERE WE WHERE WE FELT WE CAME TO THOSE THINGS THAT WE BROUGHT UP THAT WE FELT COUNTY STAFF WAS VERY AMENABLE TO IF ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS LIKE TO HEAR ANYTHING ELSE WE DISCUSSED. I'D BE GLAD TO A SWELL JUST SO IT'S ALL OUT THERE ON THE TABLE. THANK YOU. COUNCILWOMAN SUSAN. SIR. OKAY, UM. WHAT ABOUT THE HEARTS AND RICK DESIGNATION. SO YEAH, LET'S LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.

THAT THAT WAS ONE. WHERE, UM. IN THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAD IT DIDN'T LAND THAT WE HAVE STAFF AND THEIR STAFF WERE WERE EXACTLY ON THE SAME PAGE AND WHAT COUNSELOR GIVES TOM THOMAS IS TALKING ABOUT? IS THE IDEA THAT, UM THAT TWO BUILDINGS. THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED.

AS PART OF ALL OF THE. AREA PARKS BEING TRANSFERRED TO THE VILLAGE BY THE COUNTY THAT THE BUILDINGS ON THE BUILDING ON THE BOOKER PARK PROPERTY. AND THE BUILDING OF THE BIG MOUND PARK PROPERTY. THE CONCEPT THAT THE. USES THAT CURRENTLY SUBJECT. TO DEED RESTRICTIONS AND IN THE LOCAL AGREEMENT RESTRICTIONS THAT IT'S FOR PARKS AND RECREATION PURPOSES, ONLY THAT THOSE USES BE EXPANDED. WHAT'S WHAT HOWARD AND I DISCUSSED WITH THEM WAS THE CONCEPT THAT IT BE EXPANDED THAT IT BEFORE ANY PUBLIC PURPOSE, OKAY, AND. THE REASON WE WERE PROPOSING. THAT IS BECAUSE OUR UNDERSTANDING. THE ORIGINAL CONCERN OUT OF WHICH THAT THE RESTRICTIONS THAT WERE PUT IN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE BY THE COUNTY. WAS A CONCERN THAT ULTIMATELY THE VILLAGE MIGHT DECIDE AT SOME POINT TO ALIENATE THOSE PROPERTIES TO SELL THEM. OKAY? OR DO A LAND SWAP OR DO SOMETHING THAT WAS A CONCERN THEY HAVE RAISED AND SO, UM, WE HAD THOUGHT THAT A PROPOSAL THAT THOSE BE CHANGED OVER THOSE BUILDINGS COULD BE USED FOR ANY PUBLIC PURPOSE. WHICH, IF STRUCTURED APPROPRIATELY, AND THERE WOULD NOT INCLUDE SELLING IT THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO REMAIN AS A PUBLIC PURPOSE. UM. STAFF AND MIND YOU AGAIN HERE. THIS IS JUST APP WAS SAYING THAT THEY THOUGHT THAT PUBLIC PURPOSE MIGHT BE TOO BROAD. OKAY? DID NOT WANT TO GET INTO, UM. I DIDN'T WANT TO GET INTO TOO MUCH OF A BACK AND FORTH ON THAT IN THE MULTIPLE TIMES. WE'VE HAD OUR DISCUSSIONS ON THAT. BUT AS WE HAD BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT UM. SOME OF THE THOUGHTS THAT HOWARD AND I HAD HAD ALONG THESE LINES IN CONTEMPLATION OF. A BROADER LOOK AT USES FOR THOSE TWO BUILDINGS. MIGHT BE AND AGAIN. THIS IS NOT. COUNTY STEP. THIS IS HOW DENYING IN OUR

[00:50:04]

WE EXPANDED TO A SUITE OF USES, ALL RIGHT, AND THE LIST THAT HOWARD AND I HAD BOUNCED AROUND WAS IN ADDITION TO PARK AND RECREATIONAL USE THAT THOSE. BUILDINGS PRE EXISTING BUILDINGS ON THOSE TWO PROPERTIES. IT ALSO BE USED AS A CIVIC CENTER. EVENT CENTER COMMUNITY CENTER, MEETING ROOMS, MUNICIPAL SERVICES AND EX EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTER AND HURRICANE SHELTER. AND THESE BROADER PURPOSES HERE THAT WOULD OTHERWISE GENERALLY BE CONSISTENT WITH THE PARKS AROUND. IT ALSO REMAINING PARKS AND RECREATIONAL USES. WE SAW THAT, AS IS POTENTIALLY ONE WAY TO THREAD THE NEEDLE IN. OPENING OURSELVES UP FOR OPPORTUNITIES FOR GRANTS AS WE KNOW THERE. WE'VE ALREADY EXPERIENCED GRANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOME BUILDINGS THAT THE VILLAGE DOESN'T EVEN OWN. WITHIN THE VILLAGE, AND SO UM.

THOSE, MAYBE SOME OPPORTUNITIES THERE. MIND YOU. THAT IS JUST HOWARD'S AND MY THOUGHTS THAT IS NOT GONNA RUN BY COUNTY STAFF. AND I COULDN'T SPEAK TO WHAT THE BORDER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WHAT OTHERWISE THINK ONE WAY OR THE OTHER ON IT. MM HMM. OKAY? THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. ALSO. I APPRECIATE STAFFS, DILIGENCE AND MR ARCHER BELLS SEEKING OUT PROJECTS. WHICH WITH OUR WATER SYSTEM, I'M SURE IT'S NOT REALLY. DIFFICULT TO DO THAT THE MONEY CAN BE USED IN SO MANY WAYS. AND THIS EVENING. WE DON'T HAVE TO. LIGHT ON ANYONE.

SO I APPRECIATE. THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR OF ALL THE WAYS THAT CAN BE UTILIZED. AND I. I FEEL LIKE IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD TO FORWARD WITH. SEEMS LIKE THE CURRENT. COUNTY COMMISSION IS TRYING TO WORK WITH. THIS COUNCIL AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. TO ENTER INTO A FIVE YEAR AGREEMENT WITH MARTIN COUNTY TO REMAIN PARTICIPATING IN THE COUNTY'S M S TO YOU FOR FIRE RESCUE. ALSO TO ACCEPT THE $1.5 MILLION OFFER. FOR USE IN IMPROVING OUR UTILITIES FIRE FLOW. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO INSTRUCT STAFF TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT. WITH THE COUNTY STAFF. AND I DON'T KNOW IF AGREEMENT IS TO PROPER WORD. I NOTED THAT YOU USED ANOTHER TERMINOLOGY AND THEY'RE ON THOSE FOLLOWING ITEMS. NUMBER ONE. THE DEED RESTRICTIONS FOR THOSE BUILDINGS ON THOSE PIECES OF LAND TO THAT SWEET OF BROADER SERVICES USE. TO AN AGREEMENT. ON THE FIRE RESCUE MONTHLY STATISTICAL REPORTING. THREE. THE PERIODICAL REPORTING OUR REPORTS TO THE COUNCIL.

ALSO NUMBER FOUR. THE MONETARY PAYOUT, TYPED. ALL AT ONCE. INSTEAD OF. THEY WERE AGREEABLE TO THAT. AND TO ALSO DO IT WITHIN A 60 DAY PERIOD. SO IT'S NOT DRAWN A DRAWN OUT PROCESS, SOMETHING THAT WE CAN COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH AND MOVE ON. DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TOO BROAD OF EMOTION. OKAY? NEXT I APOLOGIZE FOR INTERRUPTING AND A T END OF EMOTION HERE THAT THERE IS. ONE SLIGHT QUALIFICATION. I WANT TO PUT ON ONE SIDE BEFORE IT'S REALLY JUST IN THE WEEDS, DETAILS BUT TO WHAT YOU MENTIONED ABOUT. GETTING THE MONEY UP FRONT OR ALL ONCE OR WHAT HAVE YOU, UM, STAFF INDICATED IN OUR MOST RECENT CONVERSATION, AND I THINK AS A PRACTICAL MATTER WORKS OUT THE EXACT SAME WAY. BUT EFFECTIVELY THAT THE.

CONCEPT WOULD BE THE MONEY COULD BE AVAILABLE. AH! NOT SPREAD OUT OVER FIVE YEARS, ALL FRONT LOADED BUT THAT ON A PROJECT IT WOULD. TECHNICALLY BE ON A REIMBURSEMENT BASIS, BUT ON A VERY SHORT CASH FLOW. TURN AROUND. SO IT ALL BE PASTOR. IT IT ALL ASIDE, PRACTICAL MATTER ALL COME TO THE SAME THING. IT'S NOT GONNA BE A $1.5 MILLION CHECK. AND

[00:55:02]

AND AGAIN. THIS IS ONLY TALKING WITH STAFF WITH NO IDEA WHERE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IS AT ALL. THE. INDIVIDUALS WITH STAFF THAT I HAD MENTIONED BEFORE THEY HAD A CONCERN THAT WHAT WE WERE INITIALLY PROPOSING ANY PUBLIC USE WAS TOO BROAD. WILL SAY THEY WERE NOT. THEY WERE NOT CATEGORICALLY AGAINST THE IDEA OF MODIFICATION. OKAY BUT WHAT WE WERE PROPOSING PUBLIC ANY PUBLIC USE. WAS THAT THEY WOULD WRECK. THEY SAID THEY WOULD RECOMMEND AGAINST IT BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS TOO BROAD. THAT LIST OF USES. I. JUST LISTED OFF. THERE IS SOMETHING THAT HOWARD AND I CAME UP WITH. AFTER HEARING THE FEEDBACK FROM THOSE TWO MEMBERS OF COUNTY STAFF. THAT HASN'T BEEN ON BACK AROUND WITH THEM AGAIN. SO IT WAS NOT. IT WAS NOT A CATEGORICAL NO, THEY WOULD NEVER. THEY DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD EVER BE CONTEMPLATED ANY CHANGE AT ALL? IT WAS JUST THEY THOUGHT PUBLIC USE WAS TOO BROAD AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY HIRED DENY IT HAD COME UP WITH THAT. LONGER SET THAT WE HAVE NOT RUN BY COUNTY STAFF OR OR SEEN WHERE IT IS. OKAY SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY MAY BE OPEN AS FAR AS THAT, AT LEAST DISCUSS IT. MAYBE WE COULD, YOU KNOW, JUST NARROW IT DOWN AS FAR AS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO USE IT FOR. SO THAT WAY, YOU KNOW THERE WOULD BE MORE OPEN TO ACCEPT THAT. BAD SUGGESTION, I GUESS. YEAH, AND, UH, JUST AGAIN FOR FOLKS. THE THOUGHT THAT HARRIDAN I HAD INITIALLY PUT TOGETHER WAS THAT THOSE BUILDINGS THAT PRESENTLY EXIST THERE ON THOSE TWO PROPERTIES, THE BOOKER PARK PROPERTY BIG MAN PARK PROPERTY. COULD. IN ADDITION. BE USED AS A CIVIC CENTER, EVENT CENTER COMMUNITY CENTER, MEETING ROOMS, MUNICIPAL SERVICES ANNEX EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTER IN HURRICANE SHELTER. THEM. OKAY? ALL RIGHT. WELL, I MEAN, NO. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S POSSIBLE IF WE COULD GET ANY MORE FUNDING SENSE. IS THAT RIGHT? MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING ONCE ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. TALK WE CAN DISCUSS THAT FURTHER. IT COUNTS. REMEMBER, I APOLOGIZE. IT'S YEAH, I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING, HE SAID. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN WE CAN SHOUTING OUTSIDE. YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAYBE MOVE THEM OUT SO THAT WE CAN HEAR BECAUSE THE MEETING IS NOW BEING DISRUPTED. HOWARD

[01:00:01]

WELL, WHAT WE COULD DO, UM, LET'S GO AHEAD AND HEAR WHAT THE REST OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY. AND THEN WE COULD DISCUSS THIS FURTHER AS FAR AS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD, OKAY? THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN DARLING. THANK YOU, MADAM. HERE. YEAH, THE CROWD OUTSIDE. GOD BLESS HIM. I AM SO WHEN, WHEN ADDRESSING THE FIRE RESCUE. SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS THAT WERE ALREADY BROUGHT FORTH. I DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH. I THINK THAT. UM YOU KNOW THE 300,000 IS AN INITIAL START. IN MY HONEST OPINION, I THINK THAT, UM YOU KNOW THIS FIRE FLOW PROJECT. UM IS ROUGHLY $2.8 MILLION IN ORDER TO FIX THE ENTIRE, UM. THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

AND I THINK IF WE COULD, UM, OFFER THE COUNTY TOE DO THE ENTIRE 2.8 MILLION. THAT WOULD BE A SUGGESTION THAT I WOULD HAVE, UM. WE TALKED ABOUT THE D RESTRICTIONS. UM, I THINK WAIT.

HOW ARE YOU GUYS CAME UP WITH A AWESOME, UH, COMPROMISE IN THAT AREA, AND SO, UM, IF WE COULD DO THOSE TWO AND THEN FIVE YEARS WAY HAVE THE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT. WANT THE NEXT STEP. I DON'T I DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THAT. BUT S OH, YES. OH, THOSE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS. I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE MONTHLY SERVICE CALLS. ALL THOSE THINGS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, BRINGING DATA TO SEE WHAT YOU KNOW HOW MANY CALLS THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GETTING PER MONTH. UM UH, SO YOU KNOW, THOSE WERE JUST SOME SUGGESTIONS, SO I'M OPEN UNTIL TOE ALL OF THOSE, BUT. I GUESS, AS EVERYONE HAD ELSE MENTIONED WOULD LOVE TO HEAR. REMAIN DURING, UM MEMBERS AND THEIR THOUGHTS. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN TELLING VICE MAYOR CLARKE. GOOD EVENING. I'M IN AGREEMENT. I MEAN, WELL, FIRST OF ALL, LIKE THE THING TO COUNTY FOR THEIR OFFER. UM THIS MONEY HAS A, LIKE YOUR MARK FOR WATER FLOW PROJECT. THE ONLY THING I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IF THEY CANNOT COME UP WITH MORE MONEY. THE TIME FRAME IS TOO LONG. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A. THREE YEAR DEAL AT $500,000, OR THEY GET IT. WE COULD DO A THREE YEAR DO YOU KNOW WHAT 1/4 EITHER OPTION AS ARE ON IT. DEFINITELY TAKE THE RESTRICTIONS. OH, AND YOU SAID HE WAS ON THE TIME WITH HIS DAD FROM SOLDIER REPORTING THING THEY DID. I'M CONFIDENT WE'LL COME UP WITH A RESOLVE, BUT THAT'S MY TAKE ON IT IF THEY COME UP TO THE MORNING MILLION, SHORTER SHORT OF YEARS. THAT'S MY THINKING PROCESS. THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR CLARKE. AND. I APPRECIATE THE MURRAY COUNTY COMMISSION FOR ALWAYS LISTENING TO US, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK. WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH A MORE SEASONED MARIN COUNTY COMMISSION. THIS IS GREAT NEWS THAT THEY HAVE PROVIDED US WITH THIS OFFER. HOWEVER I THINK WE HAVE TO PROVIDE A COUNTER OFFER. I LIKE TO PUT THIS TO BED AND I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO ALL THE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST OR HOW WE'VE BEEN TREATED. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE RIGHT STEP FORWARD A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH MARIN COUNTY. I WOULD LIKE THE COMMISSION TO CONSIDER THESE ADDITIONAL TERMS. AS LIKE MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE STATED ITS MOST MOSTLY THE SAME. I WOULD. IT WOULD BE IN MY PREFERENCE FOR US TO ASSESS THE MST YOU AND THEN SEND THE COUNTY QUARTERLY LIKE WE DID OUR FIRST YEAR OF INC. ANOTHER ITEM THAT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE NOW. AND DUE TO US NOT HAVING STAFF AND US HAVING LIMITED STAFF HERE AT THE VILLAGE. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE COUNTY TO SERVE AS OUR L A LAP QUALIFYING. AGENT. ADDITIONALLY LOOKING AT THE ENGINEER'S MEMO, I WOULD PREFER LIKE A 500,000. HER YEAR WITH THE FIVE YEAR AGREEMENT. BECAUSE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO MORE WITH THE MONEY'S IMMEDIATELY FOR RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES OF THE VILLAGE OF

[01:05:02]

ADDITIONALLY TO THAT THE PARKS I DO LIKE THE IDEA WITH THE, UH. COMMUNITY MEETING. UH REPARATION, ALS. THE TERMS THAT ARE ATTORNEY HAS STATED, THAT'S WHAT I AGREE WITH. AND THAT THAT'S IT FOR ME, SO DO I HAVE EMOTION. IF I MAY? YEAH, YEAH. UM. I DO NOT THINK THAT THE OFFER THAT THE COUNTY MADE. IS A NEGOTIATING BACK AND FORTH OFFER. I BELIEVE THAT WAS UNAUTHORIZED. THAT NON NEGOTIABLE. IF ANYBODY LISTENED TO THAT MEETING. AND. I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED. I THINK EVERYBODY IS WANTING TO GET IT DONE. AND WE DO HAVE THE AVAILABILITY. THIS, THE COUNTY HAS SAID. IF ANYBODY. ATTENDED THIS MEETING THAT THE ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR HAD OUT HERE IN INDIAN TOWN ABOUT THE FUNDS THAT THE COUNTY WAS RECEIVING. HE SAY, STATED THAT TWO THIRDS OF IT WOULD BE FOR. DON'T WANT SAY FIRE FLOW, BUT FOR INFRASTRUCTURE USE. SO THEY HAVE OFFERED US RIGHT OFF THE TOP 1.5. WE CAN USE 1.5 NO DOUBT ABOUT IT MANY DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN UTILIZE THAT WE HAVE PROJECTS. WE ALL KNOW THAT WE HAVE PROJECTS FOR MORE THAN THAT. WE CAN ALWAYS ONCE WE MAKE THIS DEAL AND GET THIS SET AND GET IT DONE. WE CAN ALWAYS GO BACK AT THE COUNTY AND SAY OK, SEE WHAT ELSE THEY'RE DOING AND WHO THEY'RE GIVING IT TO WHEN WE CAN ALWAYS GO BACK AT IT BECAUSE I ASKED THAT QUESTION OF MR STOKES, CAN WE ASK FOR MORE? AND HE SAID, ABSOLUTELY. YOU CAN ASK FOR MORE. SO IF WE HAVE IN HAND, AN AGREEMENT AND WE HAVE OUR WE KNOW WE'VE GOT OUR 1.5 IF THESE OTHER. WE SEE THESE OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE GONNA COST FOR MORE AND WE SEE WHAT ELSE IS BEING DONE IN THE COUNTY. WE COULD ALWAYS GO BACK FOR MORE. BUT I THINK EVERYBODY'S APPETITE IS TO GET A GET. GET AN AGREEMENT. GET IT TAKEN CARE OF. THESE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE NON MONETARY. I THINK THE COUNTY WOULD BE, UM FAVORABLE TO STAFF SEEMS TO BE FAVORABLE.

I THINK IN CONVERSATIONS WITH COMMISSIONERS, HOPEFULLY WE CAN COME TO AN AGREEMENT. AND I THINK THAT THEY IF STAFF IS AGREEABLE, I THINK THAT COUNTY COMMISSION WOULD BE AGREEABLE, BUT I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH. GET DONE. DON'T STRETCH IT OUT ANYMORE. THIS IS THEIR OFFER. LET'S MOVE WITH THE OFFER. GET IT, GET IT IN OUR POCKET. GET IT BUTTONED UP. AND WE CAN MOVE ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS. WE CAN'T GO AT HIM AGAIN. FOR MORE MONEY. IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT LIKE OKAY. THIS IS THE ONLY THING IF WE ACCEPT THIS, THAT'S IT. WE CAN STILL GET OTHER THINGS. SO THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHT ON IT. I DO SEE A HAND.

I SEE EMOTION. HAS ALREADY PASSED THE CONVERSATION. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. I'M GOING MY HANDS UP. I'M GOING. THANKS, MAN. WE DO ALL HAVE SOME SIMILARITIES AND WHAT IT IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THE MEN WAS, SUSIE SAID. LET'S TAKE.

AT 1.5, BUT WE GOTTA TAKE IT IN AT THREE YEARS, BUT $375,000 WITH A FOUR YEAR OPTION.

THEY'RE GONNA GIVE US TWO REPORTING. HOPEFULLY, THE RESTRICTION IS GOING TO COME UP THE PARTS. AND THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE US REPORTING ON A MONTHLY BASIS, SO IT'S COMING TO THE SAME THING. WE JUST FLOORED THE TIME, FRANK. GETTING EVERYTHING ELSE. WE JUST SHORTEN THE TIME.

SO LET ME JUST REITERATE IF I GOT PROMOTION BY SMEARED PARK YOU WANT. A THREE YEAR TERM.

[01:10:04]

LET'S JUST RECAP FOR A MINUTE. I THINK MONTH REPORTING. IS EVERYBODY SAYING, MOTHER? GOOD MORNING. I THINK EVERYBODY IS EVERYBODY SAYING REPORT DEED RESTRICTIONS? YES OK, I THINK EVERYBODY IS SAYING MM. FOUR OF YOU ARE SAYING FIVE YEAR TERM. UM. WELL, WE HAVEN'T REALLY SAID IT YET. WE'RE LISTENING. YEP. SO WELL. YOU HAVE TO. THERE ARE FIVE YEAR MAJORITY WOULD BE FINE. AND THEN YOU HAVE 13 YEAR, RIGHT? AND SO AND THEN WE. WE'RE KIND OF ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THE MONEY PART OF IT, BUT I THINK THE MONEY BAR ONE POINT BY THIS WHAT I HEAR FROM TWO AND 500. WHICH MAKES IT THE ONTO YEAH. HI, SAID 500,000. 100 DOESN. YOU HAVE 2 500,001 300,000 ANOTHER WHEN THAT'S THREE YEARS AND. SAME 1.5, THEN I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MR STONE. AND YOU'RE OKAY WITH DROPPING THE LAB CERTIFICATION. I'M OKAY WITH DROPPING IT IF NO ONE SO, YEAH, OK, BUT DROP IN LAB CERTIFICATION, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MOTHER REPORTING. FIVE YEAR TERM. I'M JUST SAYING FIVE YEARS BECAUSE. YOU LOOK ACROSS THE DAYS, FIVE YEARS, UM. WHAT YOU GUYS SHOULD START TALKING ABOUT IS THE MONEY.

PART OF IT. IS THERE A WAY TO. NEGOTIATING PUBLIC, PLEASE. CRAZY PEOPLE. IT'S ROTTEN. UM AND. FIRST ROUND OF NEGOTIATIONS IS AMONGST YOURSELVES, AND SO THEY'RE THERE. RECOMMENDATION I THINK KAREN AND I WOULD BOTH HAVE IS. GET IT EVEN BEAT IT UP A LITTLE BIT MORE. YEAH, FIGURE IT OUT. OKAY SO WE'LL GO WITH THE MONEY AMOUNT. WELL, WELL, WE HAVE EMOTION. OH, YEAH, IT ACTUALLY CAN. YEAH. VICE MAYOR. CAN I ASK QUESTION REAL QUICK. I'M TRYING TO HOLD EMOTION. SO WE ASKED THE MORE YEAH, HOLD EMOTION JUST TO UNDERSTAND YOUR MOTION. I'M TRYING TO WORK. 3 75 INTO THREE OR FOUR YEARS, AND IT'S. IT'S NOT COMPUTING

[01:15:06]

YOU'RE. UH OKAY. SO THE FIRST ONE IS IF WE GO FOR THE FIVE YEAR TERM, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO SAY LET'S GO FIVE YEAR AND DO 500,000. OR DUDE IN THREE YEARS. IF THEY STICK TO THE 300. I'M SORRY IF THEY STICK TO THE 1.5. OKAY THEY STICK TO 1.5 WHEN WE COULD DO THREE YEARS FOR $500,000. Y'ALL IS ALL WEEK WAITING TO THE SAME THING BECAUSE I JUST WOULD LIKE TO GET SHORTY YEARS. IF YOU ALL WANT TO KEEP IT ON A FIVE YEAR SPAN. LIKE I SAID, WHATEVER THE MONTHLY MEETING OF THE COUNCIL DECIDES, OK, SO IT SEEMS LIKE 500,000 IS WHAT FIVE YEARS. OR 1.5. THAT'S ALL THAT SOME OF THAT FOR? BASICALLY WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS IF WE GO OVER THE LONGER TERM. WE WOULD ASK FOR MORE MONEY. BASICALLY IF WE GO WITH A SHORTER TERM, WE COULD STICK TO THE $300.1000 YEAR. SO WHAT DID COUNT WHAT THE COUNTY HAS BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO SUSAN, GIFT COUNCIL WOMAN GIVES THEY'RE NOT GONNA GIVE UP NO MONEY, BUT NO MORE. NO MORE MONEY, BUT WE DON'T KNOW BECAUSE THAT'S JUST THE STAFF WAS TALKING TO THE WAVE. I MEAN, MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THAT MEETING, OF COURSE WE GOT BY EMAIL COMMENT LATER BLOCK NOT NEGOTIATING, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, GUYS JUST THE FIRST ROUND. I MEAN, LIKE I SAID, IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE MORE THAN THE 1.5. WHY NOT? LET'S GET IT IN THREE YEARS. WHY CAN'T WE GET IT IN THREE? WHY DO WE NEED TO EXPAND ALL THE YEARS? DO YOU ALL KNOW THE MATERIAL AND EVERYTHING? GO UP BILL LAID EVERYTHING OUT FOR US. I'M JUST SAYING NOW THAT'S MY TAKE ON IT. WELL, I'M AT THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL. SO YOU CAN, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST GIVE THEM. COMES OR SOMETHING NO TO TAKE BACK TO THEM. BUT WITH ALL THESE CONDITIONS, HOPEFULLY THAT THEY WILL MEET THAT WE DON'T LAY IT OUT HERE. OKAY? BASICALLY IS THE SAME THING IS JUST THAT ONE IS SHORTER TERMS AND THE OTHER ONE'S LONGER TERM. YES, UM, EXACTLY. SO SO I WAS GONNA ASK IF VICE MAYOR CLARKE WILL AMEND HER MOTION TO SAY 500 K OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THE MONTHLY SLASH YEARLY SERVICE CALLS OR REPORTS AND THEN THE DEED RESTRICTION PUBLIC USE FOR BOTH BUILDINGS. IS THAT POSSIBLE VICE BOSS THAT THINGS HMM. I'M SORRY. YES SAID AMEND IT 500,000 IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, SO, YES. SO IT WOULD BE 500,000 WERE ASKING FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THE SECOND THING IS THE MONTHLY YEARLY SERVICE CALLS AND REPORTS. AND THEN THE THIRD THING IS THE DEED RESTRICTION THE PUBLIC USES FOR THE FOR BOTH BUILDINGS AT THE PART, I THINK OF WE CAN AGREE ON THOSE THREE THINGS. I THINK THE OTHER, YOU KNOW, SMALLER DETAILS WE COULD WORK OUT. UM.

IN CONVERSATION OR IN NEGOTIATIONS. ARE YOU OKAY? WAIT. DID YOU HAVE THEY? ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT VICE VICE MAYOR? SO NOW YOU ASK HIM NOW WE ASK HIM FOR MORE MONEY IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. RIGHT RIGHT. RIGHT SO, UM, THE YEAH. THE 500,000 IS SOMETHING WAS IN A CONVERSATION SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. AND SO, UM. I THINK WHEN LOOKING AT THE 500,000 BECAUSE THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO GET THIS FIRE FLOW. I'M DONE. AND SO IF THEY'RE IF THEY'RE GIVING

[01:20:01]

LET'S GET IT IN THREE YEARS. $500,000 I THINK WE COULD GET A BANG FOR THE BUCK WITH MORE MONEY THAN DRAGGING IT OUT. I'M AT THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL IS THAT THAT'S MY ALTERNATIVE.

GETTING THE 1.5 MILLION IN THE SHORT TERM AND DRAGGING IT OUT FOR FIVE YEARS. AND JUST TO AGO.

COMPLIMENT DARLING, THE 500,000, YOU KNOW, WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE SHOVEL READY PROJECTS WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO SEEK FOR GRANTS, THAT'S THAT'S THE FIRST THING IS YOUR PROJECT READY FOR US TO GIVE YOU MONEY? SO MY AH. MY OPINION, THERE'S 500,000. I UNDERSTAND WHERE NICE. MARY CLARK IS SO. IS THERE ANOTHER? OH WELL, IS THERE A SECOND? LET ME JUST MAKE SURE CLARIFY. IS THERE A SECOND FOR VICE MAYOR CLARK'S MOTION. ALL RIGHT, BUT JUST ANOTHER QUESTION FOR VICE MAYOR CLARKE. WEITZMAN CLARK. RIGHT NOW, I'M THINKING ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION. AS FAR AS HOW MUCH WE NEED. WE NEED BASICALLY TWO POINT $8 MILLION IN ORDER. GET THIS INFRASTRUCTURE DONE. IF WE COULD GO FOR THE FIVE YEARS FOR THE 500,000, AND AT LEAST PEOPLE GET 2.5. UH THAT WOULD BE PLENTY TO GET SOME WORK DONE. I MEAN, IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU TO GO TO FIVE YEARS FOR 500,000 YEAR, MR. LET ME HEAR WHAT MR ARKIN BUT THE BALL HAS TO SAY, MR ARCHER JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT. YES MA'AM. I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THE ESTIMATE. THAT I GAVE IS A CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE. I POINTED OUT THAT THE DESIGN FEES WOULD BE SEPARATE FROM THAT THEY BE APPROXIMATELY 15% OF THAT IF YOU LOOK UP IN THE 300,000 PER YEAR ITEM, THE SECOND BULLET, I BELIEVE, I, UM. DETAILED WHAT THE DESIGN FEES WOULD RUN FOR THAT WEST QUARTER. I BELIEVE IT WAS AROUND. 400,000 WAS A ROUGH ESTIMATE FOR DESIGN AND SURVEY. SO I WANTED THE VILLAGE COUNCIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE 2.8 IS A ESTIMATE OF CONSTRUCTION DOLLARS THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE DESIGN FOR THOSE FACILITIES. IS IT SAFE TO SAY WE WOULD NEED ABOUT $3.5 MILLION WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE. AH, TOO PRETTY. YES, SIR. SOMEWHERE AH, SOMEWHERE IN THAT VICINITY, PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT LESS, BUT WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN WITH THE ECONOMY RIGHT NOW. CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THEY WERE TWO YEARS AGO. WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THIS, THE COST OF PIPING CONSTRUCTION IS GONE UP DRAMATICALLY. WHAT? YEAH. CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS.

UP THE ROOF RIGHT NOW. SO I MEAN, THAT BEING SAID, WE BASICALLY BE $3.5 MILLION.

LET'S JUST ROUND IT OFF TO COMPLETE THIS INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE NEED. UM WHY'S MAYOR? UM I WOULD SUPPORT IT IF YOU GO FOR THE FIVE YEARS FOR THE 500,000 PER YEAR, AND IF WE

[01:25:03]

RIGHT? OKAY, SO I'M IN THE I'M IN MIND. THREE YEAR DEAL AT THE WITH THE FOURTH YEAR OPTION AT $375,000. 500,000 OR EVEN FOR FIVE YEARS. HELP US COMPLETE THE WATER PROJECT, OKAY? THAT'S SOMETHING THE CONDITIONS. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL. YEAH. OH IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WAS A SECOND. YES. IS THERE A SECOND? SORRY YES, I SECOND THAT STONE. ANY DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL. COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS UM. I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT WE REALIZE AND WE DO KNOW THAT THIS WAS AN OFFER. IT WAS NOT THE BEGINNING SALVO IN A ROUND OF NEGOTIATIONS. THAT'S NOT THE WAY THEY PRESENTED THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE IDEA CAME FROM THAT WE THIS IS A NEGOTIABLE THING. THEY MADE US AN OFFER. NOW WE'RE NEGOTIATION, BUT NO. WE CAN NEGOTIATE ABOUT THIS OTHER STUFF. YOU KNOW THE AGREEMENTS AND THAT OTHER STUFF. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE. IF ANYBODY TO LISTEN TO THAT MEETING FOR THEM TO COME TO THIS AS AN OFFER. IN GOOD FAITH. IT'S NON NEGOTIABLE. I THINK WE'RE SHOOTING OURSELVES IN THE FOOT WITH THIS ONE. AND IT'S AND IT'S GOING TO HURT THE PEOPLE IN INDIAN TOWN. THANK YOU. WAIT I WOULD LIKE FOR OUR ABLE TO GET FROM THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. I MEAN, I'M SORRY FROM THE VILLAGE OF TERMINAL. VICE. WHERE WHAT OFFER OR YOU TALK TO THE STAFF ON SEVERAL THINGS. YEAH IT'S STRICTLY SAY THAT THIS WAS THE OFFER, AND IT'S NOT NEGOTIABLE. I DON'T.

THAT THEY DID NOT ANTICIPATE THAT THERE WOULD BE ANY MOVEMENT IN THE NUMBER. UM, AND THIS IS NOT. MUM THIS IS NOT MEANT TO UNDERCUT THAT STATEMENT FROM THEM, BECAUSE THAT'S PRECISELY WHAT THEY SAID. BUT THEY HAVE NO FURTHER DIRECTION FROM THEIR COUNTY COMMISSION THERE. COUNTY COMMISSION SAID. THAT NUMBER IN IT AND IT WOULD BE WAY OUTSIDE THEIR BOUNDS TO NEGOTIATE. OUTSIDE THAT NUMBER, SO THEY WERE. THEY WERE HOLDING THE LINE ON THAT THAT FROM STAFF STANDPOINT THAT ASSES STAFF WITH THE COUNTY STAFF WAS SAYING IT THEY DIDN'T SEE THAT NUMBER AS NEGOTIABLE. AGAIN. AS WITH EVERYTHING ELSE, I SAID THAT THAT WAS JUST WHAT WHAT STAFF WAS REPORTING AND PARTICULARLY ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THEY HAD NO OTHER DIRECTION FROM THEIR COUNTY COMMISSION OTHER THAN. THE NUMBER THAT THE COUNTY COMMISSION THAT APPROVED FOR ONE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. GA. WE HAVE WE'RE IN DISCUSSION. THAT'S REMEMBER STONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. IN THE FIRST PLACE. I SWEAR, CLARK, ARE YOU FINALISTS. DISCUSSION YOU KNOW, I'M I HAVE TOW ME IN MY MOTION AGAIN. I THINK YOU KNOW ALL SERIOUSNESS GOING TO STICK TO WHAT I FIRST SAID. I'M GONNA WITHDRAW THE $500,000 FOR FIVE YEARS. 307 I WANT THREE YEARS AT THE $500,000. JUST JUST LET'S JUST GET IT DONE. THEY MADE THE OFFER, SO THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE US THE MONEY.

JANET IS 500,000 YEAR, BUT IT DOES EQUAL UP TO THE 1.5 MILLION WHAT THEY OFFER. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I SAID THREE YEARS 1.5 MILLION. I'M ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE A SECOND? NO SECOND. DO I HAVE ANOTHER MOTION? YES I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR THE 500,000 PER YEAR OVER THE FIVE YEARS, WHICH EQUALS 2.5 MILLION.

BEEN BASICALLY BITING MY TONGUE FOR THE LONGEST AND HONESTLY, I'M WONDERING IF COUNCILMAN GIBBS, TOMAS'S AH, COMMISSIONER OR COUNCILWOMAN. BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE SAYING SHE'S BASICALLY SIGNING WITH THE COUNTY AND. WHAT I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND FOR THE COUNCIL TO DO IS. LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON THIS AND NEVER HAPPENS. WE NEED TO CALL OUR COMMISSIONERS AND TALK TO THEM. WE AS THE COUNCIL. HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO THE COMMISSIONS. IF WE ALL GO TO THEM AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE. HOW DO THEY KNOW WHAT WE REALLY WANT? WE HAVE TO

[01:35:04]

TRUST ME. IT WILL PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE. SAID AGAIN. YOU SHOULD ACCEPT AND BUILD UPON BECAUSE TRUST ME. WILL PAY DIVIDENDS IN HIM. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT THE INEQUITIES AND OR DISAGREEMENTS COULD BE RESULT OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE? OF ALL MARTIN COUNTIES ORDINANCE IN A LOCAL AGREEMENTS CHEMIST TO USE ETCETERA EARLY IN THE YEAR. INC. THAT BEING SAID, I'VE DONE SOME THINKING AND SOME RESEARCH AND RECALL FROM MY EXPERIENCE REGARDING THE ISSUE OF FIRE RESCUE. FIRST FIRE AND RESCUE IS A VERY EXPENSIVE UNDERTAKING. THAT LAST FOREVER. AND HAS VERY LITTLE FINANCIAL RETURN. PRICE OF FIRE TRUCK, MAYBE TWO. IT IS ENORMOUS. ANOTHER EXAMPLE. I PICKED ONE OUT. DO YOU ALL KNOW WHAT BUNKER GEAR IS? ENEMY BUNKER GEARS. THERE IS THE UNIFORM THAT FIREFIGHTERS WERE. THE OUTFIT OF ONE FIREMAN CUSTOM TO CUSTOM FIT BUNKER GEAR COST THE TOTAL OF $13,480 A MAN. RUN THAT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THOSE NUMBERS IN MR KOLNAS PRESENTATION PROPOSAL. THAT'S JUST A LITTLE DETAIL.

AND. THAT INCLUDES A BREATHING APPARATUS OF $4000. IN THE LIFE SPAN OF VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT IS ESTIMATED BE ABOUT 10 YEARS. SO THEN YOU GOT TO DO IT AGAIN. SECOND. IT WOULD CREATE ANOTHER

[01:40:09]

NATIONWIDE. OVER SEVEN MILLION JOB OPENINGS AS I'M A TEMP. ABOUT TWO YEARS. I ASKED HER. I ASKED THE MARTIN COUNTY FIREFIGHTER WHO COME OVER TO TRAINING WOULD DARE AND GIVE A PRESENTATION. AND I ASKED HIM IF ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL. WOULD YOU COME TO WORK FOR INDIAN TOWN IF THEY IF THEY MAINTAIN A FART, OR IF THEY GOT A NEW FIRE DEPARTMENT, HE QUICKLY SAID NO. ASK HIM. HIS REASON IN THE MAIN REASON WAS NO ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

NO ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES. HERE NOW, WORDS ONCE YOU GET TO WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO STAY THERE, IF IT HAVE A CHIEF GOT TO BE A CHIEF, THERE'S ONLY ONE CHIEF. IN CONCLUSION. ANY PROJECT OF THIS MAGNITUDE SHOULD BE HAVE A COMPLETE 100% AGREEMENT OF OUR COUNCIL.

SHOULD NOT BE ADDRESSED. OR SHOULD NOT BE ADDRESSED. LET ME DO THAT AGAIN. ANY PROJECT OF THIS MAGNITUDE? SHOULD HAVE A COMPLETE 100% AGREEMENT BY OUR COUNCIL OR SHOULD NOT BE ADDRESSED. CURRENT ISSUES THAT YOU'RE FACING. WATER. WASTE WATER ROADS, STORM WATER DRAINAGE, ETCETERA. SHOULD BE COMPLETED BEFORE YOU ADDRESS ANOTHER IMPORTANT PROJECT.

DON'T GOVERN BY YOUR EMOTIONS, FEELINGS OR PUBLIC OPINION. I MEAN, REPEAT THAT AGAIN. DON'T GOVERN BY YOUR EMOTIONS. FEELINGS OR PUBLIC OPINION, WHICH IS LEFT. GOVERN WITH FACTUAL INFORMATION. AND WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE MOST AND WITH THAT. I'M GOING TO SAY THANK YOU, AND THIS WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST TIME I ADDRESS THE COUNCIL HAS A HOLE. I'LL STILL MAINTAIN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH COUNCIL PERSON. MR BROWN AND WHOEVER ELSE ON I'M GOING TO GO HOME BECAUSE I WAS UP THREE O'CLOCK THIS MORNING TO GO FISHING. SO IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I'M NOT BEING RUDE TO THE REST OF THE PARTY, BUT TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. I THINK I THINK THAT THE INITIAL OFFERING FROM WHAT LITTLE BEE RESEARCH I DID NOW I'M OFF THE CUFF AND I HATE THAT BECAUSE I GO. OKAY. I'LL BE OUT IN UNDER A MINUTE. IS THIS? THIS WAS THIS WAS ALMOST THREE MINUTES. BUT I DID SOME RESEARCH OR DID HAVE BEEN TALKING TO THE COUNCIL. PEOPLE ARE THE COMMISSIONERS AND THEIR OFFER MIGHT BE SOLID. SO. BE PREPARED.

AH, DON'T GO AWAY. SOMETHING TO GET SOMETHING ELSE. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU MUCH. ANY MORE PUBLIC COMMENTS. SENT MADAME MAYOR. YEAH. ROLL CALL VICE MAYOR BEFORE BEFORE YOU HAVE THE ROLL CALL VOTE. I WANT TO MAKE. CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MOTION IS SO SEO CLARIFY THE MOTION WOZ. TO PROPOSE A FIVE YEAR COMMITMENT. UH FOR A TOTAL OF 2.5 MILLION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU IF YOU COULD SHIFT GEARS, I SUPPOSE FROM. YOUR OPERATIONS, DISCUSSION AND MORE YOUR YEAR TO YEAR TO A BROADER TERM OF PLANNING AS TO REMIND US ALL WHAT STRATEGIC PLANNING IS ALL ABOUT. IT'S REALLY A 2 TO 5 YEAR OR EVEN FURTHER. LOOK FORWARD AND IF WE COULD CONVERT TO THE. POWER POINT. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THIS DID OCCUR ON 10. APRIL THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER BUSY SATURDAY. YOU DEVOTED TO US I, BY THE WAY I FOR THE PUBLIC AND YOU WHAT I SUBMITTED TO YOU. A FEW DAYS AGO. IF YOU HAVE THAT VERSION, I GOT SOME UPDATES AS RECENT AS TODAY, AND THEY'RE REFLECTED IN THIS SO WE COULD. GO AHEAD, PLEASE REMINDERS ALSO THAT I SUBMITTED TO YOU A FULL EIGHT PAGE REPORT FOR THE PUBLIC. WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION AVAILABLE. I'M GLAD TO ENTERTAIN THOSE REQUESTS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE. TO REMIND US OF WHAT WE FRAMED IN OUR AGENDA WAS TO LOOK AT OUR GROUP DYNAMIC AND HOW WE WORK TOGETHER AS A FAMILY, IF YOU WILL NOT KNOW SO MUCH ALWAYS AS A TEAM. SECONDLY WE HAD THREE MAIN PARTS TO OUR AGENDA TO LOOK AT STRATEGIC ACTIONS. WHAT DO WE DO FOR OPERATIONS ON EVERY DAY MANAGEMENT OF THE VILLAGE? SECONDLY, OUR. FOCUS ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR, AS WE SAID HERE, ECONOMIC VITALITY AND CREATING JOBS. AND THEN LASTLY, A NEW I'M SORRY ABOUT THE TYPO HERE. THE MASTER PLAN AND LAYOUT THAT NOT THAT'S NOT MASTER PLAY. THAT'S MASTER PLAN. AND LAY OUT. THAT WAS A NEW ITEM THAT WE BROUGHT TO YOU HAS MORE VISIONARY, WHICH WE REALLY DIDN'T GET TO AND FURTHER PLEASE ANDRE, ARE THE PURPOSE OF COMING TO YOU TONIGHT. WE'VE TALKED WITH STAFF ABOUT THIS. WE LEFT. WE WERE INCOMPLETE AND SOME OF OUR COMPLETION OF THE AGENDA FOR THAT DAY. WE HAD ONE COUNCIL MEMBER WHO COULD NOT ATTEND SOME OF THE DAY. SO SEEKING YOUR DIRECTION ON HOW TOW WEAVE THIS TOGETHER OR WORK WITH WHAT WE HAVE, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE ANY ASSUMPTIONS. UH INJECT ANY PART OF MY OWN THOUGHTS WITHOUT YOUR FURTHER DIRECTION. UM YOU REMEMBER SOME PARTS OF THE DAY WHERE WE HAD, UH, INFORMED FOR THE MEMBERS OF PUBLIC, ESPECIALLY REMEMBER, THIS FORMAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE ENJOYED USING OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. IT'S AN INFORMAL SETTING. WE DON'T TAKE VOTES. WE DON'T TAKE FORMAL ACTIONS. IF YOU WISH TO DO THAT.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE BACK BEFORE YOU BEFORE A BUSINESS MEETING. WE TALKED ABOUT OUR WARM UP AND WE'VE. GOD KNOWS WE'VE HAD OUR DIFFERENCES, BUT NOT UNLIKE A FAMILY. I THINK WE'RE ALL STILL COMMITTED TO THE BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITY, AND IT'S NOT WITHOUT HEATED DISCUSSIONS.

DIFFERENCES BUT HOPEFULLY COMING TOGETHER WHEN WE CAN FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITY. UM, WE TALKED ABOUT SHARED VISION AND HOW TOW BETTER EFFECT OUR PROBLEM SOLVING. WE WERE REFRESHED ON OUR ETHICS AND ROLLS COMMITMENTS. AND YOU RECALL THAT WE HAD A GUEST FROM THE FLORIDA LEGAL CITIES. WE WERE PRIVILEGED ENOUGH TO HAVE SOMEBODY ON SITE THROUGH LYNN TIPTON AND WALK US THROUGH THOSE AND TAKE A GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT OUR OWN CHARTER. EVEN. REMINDER OF WHAT IS STRATEGIC YOU GETS USED ALL THE TIME.

IT'S REALLY IN MY OWN WORDS, PICKING THE VERY FEW, MOST EFFECTIVE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO. TO ACT UPON. NOT JUST TALK ABOUT IN TERMS OF PLATITUDES OR GOALS OR VISION BUT ACT UPON IN A DISCREET MANNER AND GET US TWO ARE IN POINT. THE COMES FROM MILITARY REMEMBER, WE CAN'T DO EVERYTHING WE'RE TRYING TO DO A PRECIOUS FEW THINGS THAT WE THINK OF THE SMARTEST THINGS AND MOVING FORWARD. REMINDED YOU AT THIS WORKSHOP AS I HAVE MANY OF MY AUDIENCE IS THAT TO INNOVATE OR BE A LITTLE CRAZY SOMETIMES GETS REWARDED. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT, BUT WE TRY TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE. ON WHAT YOU COULD TRY TO DO IN VISIONARY OR STRATEGIC PLAN AND THAT AT THE SAME TIME TO STOP DOING CERTAIN THINGS IS ADVISABLE TO FOR MANAGEMENT ACROSS THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY THAT NOT FOR PROFIT COMMUNITY AND OUR

GOT SOME INPUT FROM ELFI AHEAD OF TIME AND LOOK BACK AT SOME PRIOR EFFORTS ON OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS. I TRY TO MINIMIZE MY INPUTS AS YOUR FACILITATOR, BUT. IN SOME CASES, I'VE MADE A JUDGMENT CALL. USE MY BEST PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT TO WEAVE SOME THINGS TOGETHER AND I'LL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THOSE. GO AHEAD, PLEASE. UM UH, GLANCE GO THROUGH THIS VERY QUICKLY. IT WAS INTERESTING TO LOOK BACK AT THE ONE THAT JUMPS OUT AT ME IS AND OUR VISION AND MISSION WHEN WE WROTE SOME HEADLINES OVER A YEAR AGO. WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO TRY FOR 500 NEW ROOFTOPS. GUESS WHAT WE IDENTIFIED ABOUT 750 THAT ARE ON THE DOCKET RIGHT NOW, SO THAT ONE JUMPED OFF THE PAGE OF ME. UM YOU'VE YOU'VE SET THE TABLE FOR SOME OF THE HOUSING.

ENHANCEMENTS THAT MAYBE YOU WOULD LIKE. MAYBE THEY DON'T. MAYBE THEY'RE NOT AT THE PRICE POINT. YOU WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE. BUT YOU'RE YOU SEEM TO BE MAKING HEADWAY THAT WAY. YOU'VE BASICALLY SAID THE GOALS. THE OVERARCHING GOALS ARE THE SAME. ONE IS THIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BUCKET? THAT WILL SPUR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, AND THE SECOND IS KEEPING OUR HEARTS IN ORDER WITH ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIVITIES. IN THIS CASE NOW A VILLAGE HALL AND SERVICE DELIVERY. SO WE DIDN'T CHANGE REALLY THE VISION OR MISSION AS YOU HAD ADOPTED THEM IN YOUR 2018 STRATEGIC PLAN. AND YOU SEEM COMFORTABLE WITH THOSE STILL, THIS IS WHAT L DELIVERED TO YOU AS MY FINAL. EXCUSE ME, PLEASE JUMP AHEAD. AND, UH, UPENDED REALLY TO THE MISSION, HOW WE CONDUCT OURSELVES. I DID TWEAK A LITTLE BIT THE GUIDING VALUES. THESE ARE THE KIND OF LARGE PLATITUDES THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FROM THE START. AND THEY SHOULD GUIDE EVERYTHING WE DO YOU SEE THESE ADDITIONS OF WE ARE STRIVING TOWARDS UNITY IN SOMETIMES A COMMUNITY THAT HAS ITS CHALLENGES IN THAT IN THAT. MANNER AND WE'VE HAD SOME VERY FRANK DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS, AND WE COINED THE TERM COLLECTIVELY OF COMMUNITY AS YOU SEE A LITTLE PLAY ON WORDS AS ITS PROPOSED TO BE INSERTED HERE AND YOU'RE GUIDING VALUES.

MM THEME, THE THIRD FROM THE BOTTOM BULLET CALLING OUT ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY WAS ADOPTED THROUGH YOUR YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND SO I THOUGHT IT WAS NOTABLE TO INCORPORATE THAT HERE IN SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS AS WELL. AND HOW YOU DEVELOPED AND REDEVELOP. AND LASTLY, ALTHOUGH YOUR EDUCATIONAL FOCUS IS NOT YOUR CENTRAL MISSION, AND YOU'VE KIND OF LOOKED TOWARDS MORE PARTNERSHIPS, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT YOUR HANDS FULL WITH PLENTY OF THINGS YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW. IT DOES SEEM THAT ABROAD EDUCATIONAL ACCESS IS NOT YOUR FOCUS THAT IT'S MORE FOCUSED. THAT IS TO REALLY SUPPORT THE INDUSTRIES THAT WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE IN THIS COMMUNITY AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL.

SO THE TWO OF YOU TO RUN THROUGH NOW, THE TWO GOALS, THE TWO MAJOR GOALS AND THE STREET THE STRATEGIES THAT SUPPORT THOSE. FIRST THE FIRST ONE IS GETTING OUR HOUSE IN ORDER REALLY ARE ADMINISTRATIVE PRIORITIES. HOW ARE WE OPERATING OURSELVES AS THE VILLAGE AND, UM I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THAT WE. MOVE THAT THE DESIRED FUTURE OUT TO THE SECOND ONE, AND I'LL EXPLAIN THAT IN A MINUTE MORE IN THE IN THE IN THE FORM OF A MASTER PLAN OPTION. AS I SAID BEFORE, I'D CONSIDER THIS EFFORT A BIT INCOMPLETE, BASED ON A VERY AMBITIOUS AGENDA THAT WE DIDN'T QUITE FINISH. SECONDLY YOUR I DON'T REPRESENT THAT ALL OF THE

[01:55:07]

WE'VE MADE SOME TANGIBLE STEPS BY ADDING A COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT, PUBLISHING A NEWSLETTER ETCETERA NOW AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU TOOK THIS FORMAL ACTION TO SHIFT YOUR MEETINGS TO ALTERNATE BETWEEN BUSINESS AND WORKSHOPS. RECALL THAT THAT WAS AS ITEM A HERE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO DO. AND WE VETTED THAT A BIT. SOME OF THE PROS AND CONS OF THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THAT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD IN THE LINE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS WOULD YOU BE SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT AND DELAYING SOME DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS? INADVERTENTLY IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE MORE FREQUENT BUSINESS MEETINGS, THE ANSWER I HEARD WAS YOU HAD A WAY AROUND THAT THAT IF YOU WERE UP AGAINST THE WALL ON SOME DEADLINES, AND YOU WERE HOLDING UP A DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL, YOU COULD THEN. ADD THAT TO A WORKSHOP MEETING AND TAKE ACTION ON IT TO NOT PUSH IT FURTHER BEHIND. BUT THE CONCEPT AGAIN WAS YOU WERE GOING TO ALTERNATE MEETINGS BETWEEN BUSINESS WORKSHOP BUSINESS WORKSHOP BUSINESS WORKSHOP AND THEN HAVE MORE DIALOGUE WITH YOUR VARIOUS PUBLIX. BECAUSE I THINK YOU HAVE BEEN IN MY MIND TRYING TO BE SENSITIVE TO THOSE THE INPUTS THAT YOU RECEIVE.

USING UTILITY BILLS TO SEND OUT INFORMATION. THAT'S ITEM B AST, TOO, ESPECIALLY REACH THOSE AUDIENCES WHO ARE NOT AS PRIVILEGED WITH. DIGITAL AND INFORMATION OR WEB ACCESS, UM, ITEM C AND D ARE ARGUABLY DONE ALREADY. THAT IS MAKING SURE YOUR BUDGETS ARE UPDATED AND THEN SECONDLY, ACTIVE, LISTENING TO YOUR PUBLIC'S. YOU DECIDED ON AN ITEM E THAT YOU DO GET ENOUGH REPORTING ON PUBLIC SAFETY ITEMS THAT IT WASN'T NECESSARY TO ADD THIS TO YOUR REGULAR HAVE A STANDING AGENDA ITEM. THERE ARE A FEW OTHER THIGH ITEMS THAT DIDN'T RISE TO THE OCCASION TO OFFER UP. THE ONE WAS THE COMMUNITY OPINION SURVEY NUMBER ONE. IT'S COSTLY RIGHT NOW. IT'S NOT THAT IT COULDN'T BE DONE IN THE SUIT IN THE FUTURE. BUT RIGHT NOW THAT DID NOT RISE THE LEVEL OF INCLUSION. THIS CITIZEN LEADERSHIP ACADEMY IDEA AND THE PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER AGENCIES. WE DIDN'T GET INTO THAT AS MUCH AS WE HAVE IN OTHER DISCUSSIONS, BUT IT'S NOT TO SAY YOU'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THOSE PARTNERSHIPS. BBD B.

UM OF MARTIN COUNTY IS AN EXAMPLE OF THIS GROWING PARTNERSHIP. IT SEEMS YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW. UM. NEXT FURTHER ON IN OPERATIONS. I PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO TOUCH BASE ON THE FIRE RESCUE ISSUE, BUT YOU, OF COURSE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR DURING THE DAY. REMEMBER YOU GOT AN UPDATE FOR MR I KONA. AND HAD A PRETTY IN DEPTH DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW TO PROCEED. UM DATA YOU TALKED ABOUT TODAY? YOU DID PUBLISH I TO ME. I BELIEVE YOU ALREADY PUBLISHED THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT FIRE ISSUE. SO THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT IT. THIS'LL TIME.

STAFFING AND WATER UTILITIES, A REMINDER THAT YOU DECIDED THIS HYBRID APPROACH WAS ADVISABLE.

I'M SORRY YOU DIDN'T JUST YOU DISCUSS THIS. ASIDE DON'T WANT TO MISREPRESENT YOU TOOK ANY FORMAL ACTIONS, BUT YOU FAVOR THE HYBRID APPROACH WHEREIN YOU WOULD HAVE A PROFESSIONAL UTILITY MANAGER. YOU WOULD TRY TO KEEP AS MANY STAFF ON BOARD IS YOU COULD. IF I'M

[02:00:04]

SAID CONTINUOUSLY. YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE THIS IN ATTRACTIVE AND COMPETE WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS.

THERE ARE THOSE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY OR IN PORT ST LUCIE OR OTHERS THAT ARE ALSO. COURTING NEW DEVELOPMENT AS ARE YOU SO ITEM TO SPEAKS TO THAT? MARKETING YOUR ATTRIBUTES IS A FEW NEW, SLIGHTLY NEW IDEAS. DO WE HAVE SOME HAPPY CAMPERS THAT HAVE WORKED WITH YOU? I'M USING THEM IN QUOTATIONS. THEY WERE PLEASED WITH THEIR INTERACTION WITH YOU. COULD THAT BE MARKETED MORE ON THOSE WHO HAVE A GOOD NEWS STORY TO SHARE ASSIGNED A SMALL DOLLAR AMOUNT TO DO THAT? AND YOU COULD PROBABLY DO THAT THROUGH THE MECHANISM YOU HAVE ALREADY THROUGH YOUR COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT OR THE LIKE. A NEW IDEA THAT WAS BROUGHT REALLY ORIGINATED WITH YOUR STAFF IS IF YOU WERE TO HAVE A DIALOGUE WITH THE VILLAGES TOP FIVE EMPLOYERS WHAT SUCCESSES OR FUTURE GOALS. OR DESIRED IMPROVEMENTS. MIGHT YOU LEARN FROM THEM AND BE ABLE TO HELP WITH OR ACCOMMODATE SHOW SOME LOVE TO THOSE FOLKS IN TOWN WHO ARE NOW EMPLOYING THE MOST PEOPLE AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BUILDING AND SOLIDIFYING THAT RELATIONSHIP? I'M. FIVE LOCAL VENDOR PREFERENCE POLICY. I DON'T THINK YOU'VE DRAFTED THAT YET, OR YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS PROCUREMENT POLICY. YOU HAVE ONE ALREADY. OKAY AND YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT HOW THAT COULD BE. ESPECIALLY USED IN THE CONTEXT OF YOUR VILLAGE HALL PLANNING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. 67 AND EIGHT. WE DIDN'T VET THIS A LOT. BUT IS IT POSSIBLE THAT YOU CAN USE SPORTS DEVELOPMENT AS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL? CAN YOU POSITION YOURSELF FOR SOME. REGIONAL EVENTS OR TO HELP WITH EITHER MARTIN COUNTY I'M MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN THE THERE'S NOW WHAT IS IT? IT'LL? OLYMPIC SPORTS TEAMS. IN HELP ME OUT. I WANT TO SAY WAS IN BASEBALL ARE COMING TO ST LUCIE COUNTY. AND THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A WHOLE SYRIZA OF INTERNATIONAL TEAMS COMING TOE, YOU KNOW TO PLAY AND CERTAINLY THERE'S A

[02:05:04]

EIGHT. UM. ABOUT EIGHT. WE HAVE ABOUT SIX OR SO DIFFERENT COMPONENTS TO REMEMBER. WE HAD AN EXTENDED DISCUSSION WITH JOAN. GOOD RICH AND SO ITEM EIGHT CLICK CLICK. GIVES US ABOUT, SO I DON'T KNOW. FIVE OR 678 DIFFERENT ITEMS. LET'S GO BACK TO A FOR A SECOND. UH WE NEED TO BE RESPONSIVE. TO WE NEED TO BE AS RESPONSIVE AS POSSIBLE WHENEVER SOMEBODY CALLS UPON US FOR POSSIBLE NEW DEVELOPMENT. AND IN PARTICULAR, REALLY, THAT LEAPS LEAPFROGS OVER THE ITEM. SEE WHEN A DEVELOPER LOCKS KNOCKS AT THE DOOR, WE MENTIONED THE DRY RUN.

UM I JUST WORKED WITH JOAN TODAY AND IN SOMETHING, UH, MARKETING TERM THAT WE MIGHT USE IS A READY TEAM, MEANING YOU GET A CALL. THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DROP EVERYTHING AND TALK TO THAT PERSPECTIVE. NEW DEVELOPER TO SHOW THEM THE GENUINE COMMITMENT THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE VILLAGE. SO THIS ELABORATE ON THAT LITTLE BIT. UM, I DON'T BE IS TO SUPPORT AND GO FURTHER ALL IN WITH THE BDB THROUGH NOT ONLY THE BOARD, WHICH WE HAVE YOUR REPRESENTATION ALREADY, AND COUNCIL MEMBER STONE. THE PARTNERS COUNCIL. THE BUSINESS RETENTION NEXT EXPANSION PROGRAM AND OTHER STRATEGIES, BY THE WAY, ALL THE WAY AT THE END OF THIS WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY, IS THAT YOU WOULD RE UP YOUR. RECOMMENDATION TO INCREASE YOUR DOLLAR AMOUNT. PARTICIPATION WITH THE BEADY BE AS WELL. IF I'VE GOT THIS CORRECT, THERE WAS A PROPOSAL BROUGHT AT 25,000 PER YEAR. YOU ENDED UP FUNDING 10,000. I THINK IN YOUR CURRENT BUDGET. THIS DISCUSSION WAS TO BRING IT BACK UP AT 25 K. SO RAISE YOUR LEVEL OF PARTICIPATION. IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED WITH THE BDB AND THESE ITEMS FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY. THEY'RE WORKING ON A NEW ENTREPRENEURIAL SIDE HUSTLE TO MAIN GIG PROGRAM. YOU HAVE TO DIVE A LITTLE DEEPER ON THAT, BUT IT'S ESSENTIALLY THOSE WHO ARE KIND OF WORKING A SECOND JOB OR IN SECOND ENTREPRENEURSHIP. IN ADDITION TO THEIR. OTHER DAY JOB IF YOU WILL, SOMETHING THEY'RE FOCUSING ON NEXT. THEY HAVE SEVERAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAMS. BUSINESS ACCELERATOR, ETCETERA. AND THEY'RE FOCUSED, TONTO, SOMETHING COUNCILMAN STONE BROUGHT UP IN PARTICULAR. WOMEN AND MINORITY OWNED BUSINESSES AND SOME OF THE OTHER ONGOING SMALL BUSINESS SUPPORT PROGRAMS LIKE SCORE AND. BE AP NAVIGATION AND FIRST STEP DON'T I DON'T HAVE A DOLLAR FIGURE ON THOSE. I M F IS PARTNERSHIPS FOR WORK FORCE ENHANCEMENT CAREER SOURCE I R. S C, UM, I'VE OBSERVED THAT FOR YEARS THAT YOU HAVE A GREAT FACILITY HERE. DON'T WITNESS IT BEING USED THAT MUCH. BUT IT S SO IT SEEMS LIKE THAT DOOR IS OPEN FOR ENHANCEMENT. MARTIN COUNTY HUBS OF EXCELLENCE IS ANOTHER PROGRAM THROUGH THE BDB AND TO FOCUS ON THE TARGETED INDUSTRIES THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED BEFORE, NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH IS AGRA BUSINESS, INCLUDING FOOD AND MARINE INDUSTRIES. THE OTHER IS TO ENHANCE YOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH PIRACY THROUGH THE BOOT CAMP PROGRAM, WHICH IS UNFOLDING WITH THE NEW MANUFACTURING CENTER. UP IN FORT PIERCE AND IS A REALLY DYNAMIC PROGRAM THAT SEEMS, HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED A SPECIFIC WAY TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW, HAVING NEGOTIATED THAT'LL PUT A CROSSED ESTIMATE ON IT. BUT CERTAINLY IT BEGS THOSE QUESTIONS. THE G IS REALLY ABOUT MARKETING, WHICH YOU'RE DOING A DECENT JOB OF, BUT WE GOT TO DO MORE OF IT. SO AS YOU SEE THE ITEM H IS THE BOTTOM LINE. WOULD YOU CONSIDER ENHANCED FUNDING TO THE BTB? THAT'S UP FOR YOU TO DISCUSS. UM. SO NOW I'M GOING TO JUMP OVER TO THE. THE OTHER GOAL, WHICH IS ABOUT THE MASTER VISION, SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PIECE TO

[02:10:07]

HOW THIS IS NOT A PEDESTRIAN. REAL FRIENDLY. UH KIND OF A SETTING RIGHT NOW IN THAT WE HAVE MAJOR TRUCK TRAFFIC, AND WE DO, HOWEVER, HAVE A SCHOOL CROSSING THAT SLOWS TRAFFIC. IN OUR DOWNTOWN AND SO WE HAD THAT PUSH PULL BETWEEN PASSED THROUGH TRAFFIC BUT BEAUTIFICATION EYES. IT IS PRICED IN THE, UH, IN THIS MASTER PLAN AS WELL. S SO I'LL JUST I'LL JUST FAST FORWARD THAN THE NEXT COUPLE. THERE'S BOOKER PARKHEAD COUNTRY PLACE IN VILLAGE SQUARE, AND THOSE VARIOUS COMPONENTS. MY POINT IS SIMPLY THAT IF YOU WISH TO, UM.

HAD PUT A FEW OF THOSE CONCEPTS INTO YOUR EMERGING STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THIS NEXT YEAR. WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THERE YET. HAVEN'T HAD THAT DISCUSSION WITH YOU SEEKING YOUR DIRECTION. ON REALLY THE COMPONENTS THAT WE DID GET TO AND I'LL BE DELIVERING THOSE TO YOU ON THEN SEEKING YOUR DIRECTION IF YOU ARE HANDED OFF TO STAFF, AND YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH TO GO ON FOR THIS YEAR'S BUDGETING. WE CALL IT A DAY, BUT THAT CONCLUDES MY COMMENTS.

HAPPY TOE. TAKE, UM TAKE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE. AND NONE OF NONE OF THAT. JERMAINE DARREN, YOU COULD JUST STAY IN THE CLOSING ANY QUESTIONS BY THE COUNSELOR COMMENTS AND REGARDS TO MR CARESS HIS PRESENTATION. COUNCILMAN DELI VERY QUICKLY. UM, WANTED TO. FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I THINK THIS SESSION IS, UM I KIND OF COMPARED IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE A REPORT CARD ON. YOU KNOW, WHERE ARE WE? UM AND SO YOU KNOW, IN 2008, WE WAY HAD AMBITIOUS GOALS AND WE WERE ABLE TO MEET MAJORITY OF THEM ON. SO NOW WE'RE WORKING IN EXECUTION PHASE. LEAST THAT'S KIND OF HOW I SEE IT. UM OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN. HOWARD SAID. THIS ALL THAT SAID, SAYS IT ALL THE TIME. WHERE LITERALLY BUILDING THE PLANE WHILE WE'RE FLYING IT SO.

UM SO WE'RE CHECKING OUT HOW WE'RE DOING AND, UM, YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THE TWO THE TWO

[02:15:04]

THE NEW ONES, THE ONES THAT WANT TO PROSPER AND BRING BUSINESSES INTO ANY IN TOWN BECAUSE THEIR MOST OF MOST OF THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS ARE FOR MONEY IN TOWN. NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS. FAMILY AND, YOU KNOW, DATE THEY ARE LOST BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT STATE WANTS WHAT THE COUNTY WANTS WHAT THE VILLAGE WANTS. SO I THINK HAVING THIS DRY RUN PRE APPLICATION APPROACH WITH OUR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WOULD BE AH KEE BENEFIT FOR THE VILLAGE. A COMMENT ON THAT IF I CAN INTO YOUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES, WE HAVE SOMETHING CALLED FIVE STAR. I'VE CALLED IT TOO THINGS OVER THE YEARS 55 STAR CUSTOMER SERVICE OR FIVE STAR COMMUNICATION. TO ME. IT'S REALLY MATURING IN HAND, ENCOURAGING YOUR OUTSTANDING STAFF. EVOLVED CALLED A CITY HALL AT ONE TIME, AND WE'VE GOTTEN TRANSFERRED OR DON'T BOTHER ME OR I'M TOO BUSY. VERSUS THE CITY HALL'S THAT YOU MAY VILLAGE CALLS THAT YOU MAY CALL AND THEY'RE GOING TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS FOR YOU AND MEET YOU FOR COFFEE OR COME IN DO THE EXTRA EFFORT. TOO, SO THAT THE NEW PERMIT FOR LANDSCAPING DOESN'T BECOME FOR THAT BUSINESS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS AN OPPORTUNITY, NOT NECESSARILY A BURDEN. AND SO THAT'S JUST A COMMENT THAT YOU KNOW, WE ALL STRIVE FOR IN

[02:20:08]

YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHEN WE DO HAVE THESE SESSIONS, UM I FEEL LIKE I'M MORE EMPOWERED AND I FEEL LIKE WE TALK MAURA THAT THE. THE ATMOSPHERE IS LESS HOSTILE. YOU KNOW THAT I SHOULD SAY NOT HOSTILE, LESS INFORMAL IS MORE INFORMAL, SO IT'S LESS FORMAL, SO WE'RE ABLE TO TALK AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO. SO I

[02:25:07]

TOE MAKE SURE IT FEEDS YOUR BUDGET PROCESS. I DON'T KNOW I HAVEN'T BUT YOU HAVEN'T STUDIED YOUR CALENDAR ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING THERE, AND YOU DON'T WANT TO BE MEETING TO DEATH ANYMORE, BUT HOPEFULLY THIS WORK PRECLUDE SOME OF THOSE. I THINK OUR BUDGET STARTS OUR BUDGET MEETING FIRST AND JULY. IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH I'M ADAM KIRK. OR NOW WE'RE WORKING ON IT NOW.

ACTUALLY. YEAH, I THINK IT'S NOW. MM. SO IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAYBE GET WITH STAFF ON WHAT I'LL DO? I'LL PUT THIS IN A FORMAL MOTION, UM, THAT WE MOVED TO APPROVE AND FILED THIS REPORT AND THEN. COME UP WITH ANOTHER SESSION BEFORE BUDGET PERIOD IS OVER, SO THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THE SECOND EXERCISE AND THEN. UM, FIGURE OUT WHAT WHAT EACH COUNCIL MEMBERS WANT TO DO COLLECTIVELY, AND I THINK THAT WOULD KIND OF GIVE US AH. MOTION IN THE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. BUT I HAVE AH, MOTION TO FILE A MOTION TO FILE THAT EMOTION TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER MEETING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. YES I WAS GOING TO DO THEM BOTH IN THE SAME MOTION.

IS THAT OKAY? OKAY SO I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE AND FILED THIS REPORT AND THEN. GET WITH STAFF TO COME UP WITH A FUTURE SESSION. AND A FUTURE STRATEGIC SESSION. AND THAT IS MY MOTION.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? DO I HAVE A SECOND? HILL. I SEE LIPS MOVING, BUT THEY'RE ON YOU.

OKAY? THERE'S NO WAY WE HAVE ANOTHER SPEAK. I'M SORRY. WE HAVE ANOTHER STRATEGIC MEETING TOO. BUT WE NEED A COMPLETE I'M SORRY. SO. COUNCILMAN DARLING SAID THEY HE HIS MOTION IS TO APPROVE. THE REPORT BY MR CARAS AND TO PLAN ANOTHER STRATEGIC MEETING BEFORE. UH WE START WITH BRIDGET PROCESS. WHICH WOULD BE AROUND JULY, BUT THAT WOULD BE TO BE ANNOUNCED.

DISCUSSED BETWEEN EVERYONE'S SCHEDULE. FOR ANOTHER STRATEGIC WORKSHOP. SO WOULD BE BASICALLY BEFORE SEPTEMBER. OH YES. WE GOTTA SET IT UP. SO WE JUST WENT. OH WE DON'T HAVE A DATE IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS YOU'RE JUST PROVING TO DO IT. WE DON'T HAVE A DAY BECAUSE WE KNOW EVERYONE'S SCHEDULE. WE CAN WORK ON IT. OKAY BUT STAFF WOULD BE WORKING ON A DAY AFTER THIS MEETING. ONE OF THE STRATEGIC WORK. YES. OKAY. I HAVE A SECOND. BACK IN ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL. NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ANY PUBLIC COMMENT. NO, MADAM MAYOR. ROLL CALL, PLEASE. COUNCIL MEMBER, DARLING. I DON'T REMEMBER GIVES THOMAS NAY. COUNCIL MEMBERS SHOWN. YES. AS MAYOR CLARKE.
