FAR TO READ INTO THE RECORD. FIRST ONE IS FROM JOHN JAY PEOPLE, SQUALI. SAVE OUR OAK AMICK TO THE ZONING AND PLANNING BOARD AND THE MEMBERS OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL AND HEALTHY A JEFFERSON AND HOWARD BROWN. YOU'VE HEARD FROM OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO HAVE EXPRESSED THAT BULLDOZING THIS OAK HAMMOCK WILL INCREASE LOCAL GLOBAL WARMING AND DESTROY THE HABITAT OF PROTECTED WILDLIFE. SUCH IS THE FLORIDA PANTHER AND FOR ME AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CITIZENS. LIVING BETWEEN SOUTHWEST FAMILY AVENUE AND FERNWOOD FOREST ROAD. YOU'VE SPOKEN OUT IN OPPOSITION TO THE 150 STORY RENTAL HOMES PROPOSED TO GO AND REPLACING THE 55 ACRE HAMMOCK. I HAVE USED LOGIC. I HAVE PLEADED WITH YOU. I HAVE ADDRESSED SPIRITUALISTS USE AND I HAVE COVERED EVERY BASE IN EVERY ANGLE TO TRY AND GAIN YOUR ATTENTION TO STOPPING THIS MADNESS. THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY IS NOT AN ABANDONED. ORANGE GROVE OVERGROWN WITH BRAZILIAN PEPPERS OR A COW PASTURE. THIS IS A UNIQUE OKAY AMICK WITHIN THE VILLAGE BORDERS, AND THEN THIS SPECIAL TO SOUTH FLORIDA. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE CARELESSLY BULLDOZED BUT SHOULD BE DEVELOPED CAREFULLY AND PROTECTED FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. I URGE YOU AS DEMOCRATS TO PROTECT THIS VITAL NATURAL RESOURCE AND BUILT INTO THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, A LARGE FIVE PLUS ACRE PARK. AND LARGE FIVE PLUS ACRE WILDLIFE AREA AND LIMIT THE NUMBER OF HOMES TO 50. NEXT COMMENT IS FROM LONDON. I COME. I'VE NOTICED THAT THE SUBJECT OF THE FIRE RESCUE IS NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, AND I'M NOT SURE THAT THAT IS A GOOD THING.YOU ALL HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT DECISION TO MAKE. YOU HAVE LISTENED AND HOPEFULLY HEARD YOUR RESIDENTS. YOU'VE HAD A RESPONSE FROM MARTIN COUNTY ON YOUR COUNTER OFFER. DO NOT SEE THAT THERE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER REASONS FOR DELAYING A DECISION AND TAKE AWAY THE ANXIETY, FEAR AND ANGER THAT IS PREVALENT IN INDIAN TOWN THESE DAYS? YOUR JOB IS PRIMARILY TO BE OUR VOICE AND TO BE A STEWARD OF OUR TAX MONEY. YOUR JOB IS ALSO TO LEAD NOT FOLLOW. YOU NEED TO SPEAK UP NOW FOR US. IF YOU ALL WILL PUT US IN YOUR DECISION AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HEAR WHAT WE THE VOTERS WANT YOU TO DO, AND YOU WILL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION FOR ALL OF INDIAN TOWN. MY TWO CENTS. LITTLE COMMENCE. AND IT'S JUST COMING ON A NON AGENDA ITEM. IS IT ON A NON AGENDA ITEM? ALL RIGHT. OKAY? NO. IT'S NOT AGENDA, SO PLEASE COME UP TO THE PODIUM.
MR BRIAN POWERS. EVENING COUNSELORS, BRIAN POWERS. UM, I AGREE WITH MS NICCUM THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT'S GONE ON FOR A LONG TIME, AND IT'S TIME TO BE PUT TO BED. UM THAT BETTER? IT'S NOT ON MINE SCREEN. IF IT'S GREEN, IT'S ON. YEAH. UM YOU KNOW? I THINK THERE'S TWO
[00:15:06]
POINTS THAT I WANT TO MAKE TO YOU TONIGHT. ONE THERE'S NO REASON THAT YOU CAN'T LOOK AT THIS AS A WIN. FORGET ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED. FIVE YEARS ISN'T GOING TO KILL ANYBODY.IT'S REALLY FOUR YEARS. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, TOO. YOU'RE GONNA EVALUATE THIS AGAIN. LOOK AT THE DATA THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE THIS TIME. TO MAKE A DECISION FOUR YEARS FROM NOW, AND I THINK THERE'S ALL KINDS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO GET, AS HAS BEEN POINTED OUT TO GET THE WATER SYSTEM FIXED TO DO ALL THESE OTHER THINGS. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MONEY TO DO THAT. SO I THINK THAT'S PART OF IT GOING FORWARD IS THERE'S NO REASON NOT TO DO THIS NOW. IT DOESN'T COST YOU ANYTHING. IN FACT, YOU'RE GOING TO SAVE MONEY OVER WHERE YOU WERE TWO YEARS AGO. UM I THINK IT GIVES YOU A CHANCE TO PUT THE CITIZENS MIND AT EASE AS WELL. AND, UM. YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST. WON'T GET INTO THE COST OF NOT DOING IT. BUT I GUESS THE OTHER THING YOU COULD DO IS, UM, YOU KNOW, BE THINKING ABOUT WHEN IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE'VE HAD SOMEBODY FROM INDIAN TOWN THAT'S BECOME PART OF FIRE RESCUE. WHAT IF WE HAD, UM. SOME SCHOLARSHIPS, AND WE GOT TWO PEOPLE A YEAR. THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU'D BE FOUR YEARS FROM NOW, IF WE DID THAT, YOU'D HAVE EIGHT FIREFIGHTERS THAT WE'RE COMMITTED TO WORKING IN INDIAN TOWN WHEN YOU. KIND OF WHEN THIS DECISION COMES UP AGAIN, AND I THINK THAT'S A MUCH STRONGER POSITION TO BE AND IT COSTS YOU. NOTHING IN FACT, YOU MAKE MONEY IN THE SHORT TERM TAKING THIS DEAL. AND BACK TO MS KNIGHT COMES POINT WHICH SHE HAD SOMEBODY THAT SHOULD BE LISTENED TO. I THINK IT PUTS EVERYBODY'S MIND AT EASE, AND I URGE YOU TO CONSIDER IT TONIGHT AND PUT IT TO BED SO EVERYBODY CAN GET TO WORK ON EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR POWERS. ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. YOU HAVEN'T AND SOON NO, MADAM MAYOR. COMMENTS BY VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS,

IT'S AN UPDATE ON, UM IT'S CONSTANT UPDATE, AND I THINK THEY RECENTLY JUST CAME OUT WHEN THIS WEEK AND REGARDS FOR CITIES, BUT IT'S JUST. SO INFORMATION IS JUST COMING IN SLOWLY. SO CITIES LIKE THE VILLAGE OF ANY IN TOWN HAS TO WAIT BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN DIFFERENT NUMBERS REPORTED. I KNOW THE FLORIDA LEGAL CITIES REPORTED SOME NUMBERS AND SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEY'VE REPORTED OTHER NUMBERS TO CITIES, BUT WE DON'T EXACTLY KNOW BECAUSE AH. YOU KNOW, AS OUR CITY, IT WOULD HAVE TO GO FIRST TO THE FLORIDA LEGISLATOR, UM AND THEY HAVE TO DECIDE. SO THAT WAS JUST WHAT THEY HAD A CONVERSATION. IN REGARDS OF AND THAT'S MY COMMITTEE REPORT.COMMENTS BY MR VILLAGE MANAGER. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. THE UM
[COMMENTS BY VILLAGE MANAGER]

RIGHT WAY IMPROVEMENTS ON ALLAH PATA. SO WE'LL BE PUTTING SOME OUT TO THE PUBLIC, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME STOP AND GO FOR A WHILE. SO WE DON'T HAVE A FIRM DATE YET, BUT LET'S KEEP OUR EYE OUT ON IT. ALSO THE THERE'S A D E O OF DAY DEPARTMENT OF ART DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. AS YOU KNOW, WE PARTNERED WITH THE ANYTOWN CIVIC CLUB. AND WE RECEIVED A $380,000 GRAND. THE STATE IS IN THE PROCESS OVER YOU. AND THE GRANT AND THE LATEST UPDATE I HAVE ON THAT IS THAT THERE THEY ARE STARTING THE ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT BASE, SO THEY REVIEWED OUR SCOPE OF WORK. FIND IT APPROPRIATE, AND NOW WE'RE IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FACE. TRACY OUR NEW GREAT WRITERS, ACTUALLY. INSURING THAT WE'RE KEEPING ON TRACK IN NO TARGET AS SOON AS WE GET THE GRANT EVER EVEN IN PLACE. WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL WILL MEET WITH THE TOWN SEVEN CLUB AND WE'LL COME BACK TO WRAP IT ALL UP SO WE CAN. GET STARTED OVER THERE. ALSO YOU KNOW THE STAFF WE'VE BEEN PARTICIPATING WITH THE VICE MAYOR ON THE, UH. GRADUATION PARADE. WE HAVE ALL THE BAGS AND PRESENTS FOR THE SENIORS THAT'S BEEN FINALIZED WILL BE DISTRIBUTING ON SATURDAY. THERE STORE RIGHT HERE IN THE OFFICE. ALSO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING SCHEDULE FOR JUNE 29TH THREE PM WASN'T SURE IF YOU WANT TO 10 OR NOT, BUT I THINK IT'D BE GOOD IF THE COUNCIL COULD ATTEND. THIS IS PRIMARILY FOR STAFF. BUT. I THINK THIS IS SOME TRAIN THAT I THINK WE ALL COULD BENEFIT FROM GOING TO PUT ON BY MARTIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. ALSO.I'M SORRY. JANUARY 29TH AT. I'M SORRY, JIM, TIME EXPLAINING IT SAYS JUNE HEAR WHAT I SAY JANUARY? JUNE 29TH AT THREE P.M. HERE IN THIS ROOM. COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE DEFINITELY INVITED.

I WAS HOPING EVERYONE'S OKAY THAT WE WOULD HAVE A LITTLE LATITUDE. AND WORKING THROUGH THEM WITH THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME WORDSMITH THING GOING ON WITH REGARD TO THAT, AND SOME SOME DISCUSSIONS ON THAT, SO IT MAY NOT IN FINAL FORM. COME BACK LOOKING EXACTLY LIKE THIS. THIS LANGUAGE JUST CAME OUT OF. YOU KNOW, A BRAIN TRUST OF HOWARD IN MYSELF THERE, SO IT MAY BE SUBJECT TO FURTHER REFINEMENT AND WORKING THROUGH WITH STAFF JUSTUS ANYTHING DOES WHEN IT GOES TO THE STAFF LEVEL TO SORT OUT. THAT WAS IT. AND, UM. FARSI AMERICAN RECOVERY RESCUE PLAN MONEY, I THINK THE MAYOR, SOME SUMMARIZED EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED TO DATE. THE VILLAGE IS UNIQUE. WE ARE WHAT THEY CONSIDER A NON ENTITLEMENT UNIT OF GOVERNMENT. SIMPLY PUT MUNICIPALITIES UNDER 50,000. WE HAVE TO APPLY TO THE STATE. SO, UM, UNLIKE THE COUNTY, THEY WILL BE GETTING THEIR THEIR ALLOCATION DIRECTLY FROM THE FEDS. SO $18.4 BILLION HAS COME DOWN THE PIKE TO GO TO FLORIDA.IN ALL CITIES THAT ARE NOT ENTITLEMENT. AND SO I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. AND WHAT I'VE LEARNED IS THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN APPROPRIATIONS BILL YET. OR THE $18.4 BILLION, BUT THEIR STAFF IS ALREADY WORKING ON HOW. HOW TO DISPERSE THE MONEY ALLOCATED TO NON ENTITLEMENT UNITS, AND WHAT IS CLEAR IS THE FORMULA THAT THEY'LL USE FOR NON ENTITLEMENTS. SO THAT'S CLEAR THAT'S ALSO SPELLED OUT IN THE TREASURY GUIDANCE THAT WE HAVE.

Restructuring of Council Meeting and Workshop Schedule
]VILLAGE MANAGER. ITEM NUMBER 10, PLEASE. YES, I DON'T NUMBER 10. DURING A STRATEGIC PLANNING MEETING WE HAD A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WE DISCUSSED THE WE DISCUSS CHANGING OUR FORMAT AND HOW WE MEET. YOU KNOW, WE THERE WAS CONCERNED THAT WE NEED TO HAVE WORKSHOPS WHERE WE COULD HAVE MORE INTERACTIVE. WORKSHOP WITH RESIDENTS AND FOLKS THAT COME IN, AND WE DESIGNED SOMETHING THAT WE THOUGHT THAT COULD GET ADOPTED BY THE COUNCIL. IT COUNCILMAN STONE WASN'T PRESENT THAT EVENING. IT RESULTED IN LIKE SPLIT VOTE. AND SO THERE WAS NO ACTION TAKEN FOR IT OR AGAINST IT, AND SO AT THE REQUEST OF COUNCILMAN DOWN, HE ASKED THAT THIS BE PLACED BACK ON THE AGENDA. AND SO WE'RE HERE NOW. COUNT SPINELLI. YES. OH UM, AT OUR[01:00:07]
LAST, UM, STRATEGIC MEETING ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DISCOVERED IT, AND IT WENT WELL WITH THE PUBLIC IS. TO HAVE ONE AGENDA THAT WE FOCUS ON FOR THE PARTICULAR MONTH TO GIVE US TWO MEETINGS. ONE WOULD BE A WORKSHOP WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE LATTER PART OF THE MEETING, THE LATTER PART OF THE MONTH, WHICH IS JUST THE SECOND. THURSDAY OF THE MONTH AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE FORMAL MEETING IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH, SO THIS WOULD GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE RESIDENTS TO ASK QUESTIONS. 222 GIVE STAFF TIME TO GATHER ANSWERS TO THOSE QUESTIONS S SO THAT WE CAN. EXCUSE ME SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE ARE AWARE WITH WHAT WHAT IS GOING ON. SO AGAIN IS WE TRIED TO TACKLE THIS UM. AT A MEETING AGO OR TWO MEETINGS AGO WAY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. SO HERE WE ARE AGAIN, SO I WOULD LIKE. TO MOVE, MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE RECONSTRUCT THE COUNCIL MEETING AND WORKSHOPS SCHEDULE. JUST TO CLARIFY THE WORKSHOP WOULD BE THE FIRST MEETING OF THE MONTH AND THE BUSINESS MEETING WOULD BE THE SECOND MEETING OF THE MONTH. LET ME CONFIRM S. OH YES. OH, THE SECOND THURSDAY, WHICH IS THE FIRST MEETING, IT'LL BE OUR REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING AND THEN THE FOURTH THURSDAY OUR SECOND MEETING WOULD BE THE WORKSHOP. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A SECOND? YOU SEE, I HAVE A QUESTION. GO AHEAD, SECOND TO MAKE A SECOND AND THEN WE CAN OPEN FOR DISCUSSION THAT DON'T MEAN TO STEAL. THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GONNA PASS. VICE MAYOR CLARKE SECOND, IT. SECOND IT FOR DISCUSSION. SO ANY DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL COUNCILMAN STONE.YES S O THE FIRST QUESTION I HAVE. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THERE WAS A CONFLICT WITH A PC.
A BOARD MEETING. UM SO WAS IT SUPPOSED TO BE THE NO. A PUBLIC WORKSHOP MEETING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SECOND ONE. SO THAT WAY IF THEY HAVE SOMETHING WITH PAST PC, A MEETING THAT WE COULD VOTE ON IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I AM UP TO DATE WITH THAT PART OF IT. YES SO THAT IS THE SECOND MEETING? YEAH YOU STATED IT CORRECTLY, SO THE SECOND MEETING OF THE MONTH WILL BE THE WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS UPCOMING ITEMS AND ALLOW MORE PUBLIC INPUT. OKAY, SO TYPICALLY THE PEACE. D A WOULD BE ON THE FIFTH, FOR EXAMPLE, AND THEN WE WOULD MEET THE FOLLOWING WEEK. CORRECT. OKAY? SO ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT I HAVE WITH THIS IS THE TIME. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO JUST SIT IN A MEETING. YO 10 12 O'CLOCK. YOU KNOW, I WANT US TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THIS MEETING WHERE? LET'S SAY NINE O'CLOCK WE KNOW. OKAY LET'S WRAP IT UP OR WHATEVER THE CASE IS. BECAUSE WE KNOW ONCE WE START TALKING, SOMETIMES HE TENDS TO GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AND REALLY NEED TO DEFINITELY FOR YOU WOULDN'T HAVE. YEAH, I HONESTLY THINK IT IS AN EASY FIX. UM, UM. UH ONE. WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ARE HERE TO DO THE BUSINESS OF THE PEOPLE. S SO, UM I SAID THIS IN ARE IN THE MEETING. IN OUR APRIL 10TH. IS THAT HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES FOR US TO. UM, COME UP WITH A DECISION. WAY SHOULD NOW I THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? UM. AND I'VE SEEN THIS ONCE. WE HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.
THE MEETING RUNS SIGNIFICANTLY SMOOTHER, AND I THINK A LOT OF THAT HAS TO BE, YOU KNOW, CONTRIBUTE TO THE MAYOR AND. AND THE LEADERSHIP THAT SHE'S PROVIDING, SO I THINK WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT TO WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO DO THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS, BUT BUT ALSO GET THEIR QUESTIONS ANSWERED. AND UM, GIVE STAFF THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESEARCH. UM, UH, ANSWERS SO THAT WE CAN BETTER SERVE OUR COMMUNITY, SO I THINK WE CAN. WE CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN. UM.
BUT IT IS THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD BUYS MAYOR CLARKE. OH COUNCILMAN'S DONE. ARE YOU DONE? THEIR QUESTIONS. WELL, I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF YOU'RE WILLING TO PUT TIME RESTRICTION
[01:05:01]
ON THIS. WHERE IF HE GETS TO CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, IT WOULD BE A MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL TO CONTINUE THE MEETING, OR WE JUST KIND OF STOPPED UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING. S O. I WOULD I WOULD. WOULDN'T WANT TO PUT A TIME LIMIT BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO FACE. AND TRADITIONALLY, WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS WE HAVE PIGEON HOME OURSELF IN THE PAST AND TO WHERE WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND UNDO WHAT WE HAVE DONE, SO I'M TRYING NOT TO PREVENT THAT. AND I THINK WE SHOULD. AS LEADERS OF THIS COMMUNITY. JUST USE DISCRETION. UM, AND IN HOW WE CONDUCT THE MEETING. I THINK THAT WAS SOLVED. UM, THAT WAS SOLVED THAT ISSUE. THANKS.COUNCILMAN STONE. YOU'RE GOOD. GOOD, THANKS, VICE MARY CLARK. OH AND JUST TO COUNCILMAN STONE.
NOW, IF THEY'RE SOME OF THE IMPORTANCE COME UP, AND IT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. MR BROWN. DID YOU SAY THERE IS PROVISION FOR THAT? YES, IF YOUR CALL AT THE APRIL 10TH MEETING WAY, HAD A WORKAROUND SOLUTION FOR LIKE THE PC, A BOARD MEETINGS. SO IF THERE WAS URGENT BUSINESS EMANATING OUT OF THE. THE PLAYING IS OWNING APPEALS BOARD MEETING. WE COULD SCHEDULE A SPECIAL MEETING ON THE WORKSHOP. DATE. COUNCIL DATE. AND OBVIOUSLY, IF THERE'S SOMETHING URGENT THAT REQUIRES TO COUNSEL ATTENTION, YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. I WOULD JUST CREATE A SPECIAL MEETING AND PUT IT ON THE AGENDA SO YOU GUYS CAN ACT ON SO. BUT RIGHT NOW, WE HOPE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE WHAT WE WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS ON LEE FOR PLANNING ZONING APPEALS BOARD ITEMS. SO LET'S GIVE IT A TRY.
SO THE RESIDENTS COULD SEE WE IN TUNE WITH THEM. AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK, BECAUSE, REMEMBER, WE WON'T HAVE TO KEEP COMING BACK. SO LET'S GIVE IT A TRY. AND IF IT DOESN'T FIT THE MOLD, AND WE JUST HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE TABLE AND RESUME THE REGULAR WAY WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL. COUNCILMAN GIVES THOMAS. YES, AS I STATED THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS CAME AROUND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE SECOND MEETING OF THE MONTH WILL BE WORKSHOP WHERE WE WILL BE HANDLING AND LISTENING. TO ITEMS THAT THEN WE WILL BE COMING BEFORE US AND A BUSINESS MEETING OF THE FIRST MEETING OF THE NEXT MONTH. AM I CORRECT ON THAT? WORKSHOP MEETING WILL BE GOING OVER ESSENTIALLY THE AGENDA ITEMS THAT WILL BE COMING BEFORE US ON THAT FIRST MEETING OF THE FOLLOWING MONTH. AT THE NEXT MEETING RIGHT AT THE NEXT MEETING. FIRST MICK. SO THE SECOND MEETING OF THE MONTH WE'RE TALKING WILL BE A WORKSHOP. SO WHAT WE DEAL WITH IN THE WORKSHOP IS ESSENTIALLY THE AGENDA THAT WE WILL HAVE COMING UP. THE FIRST MEETING OF THE FOLLOWING MONTH. UM I CORRECT IN THAT UNDERSTANDING, YES. WELL I MEAN, I'M TRYING TO WRAP MY. FOR EXAMPLE, TODAY'S MEETING WOULD BE A WORKSHOP.
NEXT MONTH'S FIRST MEETING WOULD BE THE ACCESS BUSINESS MEETING. YES OK, AND THAT'S LAID OUT IN THE AGENDA MEMORANDUM. ONCE AGAIN, I'M GOING TO SAY THAT'S DOUBLE HANDLING. REALIZE OKAY, THAT THE IT'S BEEN EXPRESSED THAT WE WANT TO LISTEN TO THE PUBLIC TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT WE ARE LISTENING. I WOULD ENCOURAGE THIS WHOLE COUNSEL TOE. LISTEN EVERY DAY. THROUGH THE PUBLIC WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO TALK TO YOU WHEN THEY SEND YOU EMAILS.
ALSO THE PUBLIC HAS AN OPPORTUNITY AND EVERY MEETING TO SPEAK A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TIMES. AT THE VERY BEGINNING, AND ON EACH ITEM, THEY ARE NOT LIMITED. WE DO LISTEN. SOME OF US DO LISTEN MORE THAN OTHERS, BUT THE THING OF IT IS, IS IT WILL MAKE FOR DOUBLE HANDLING.
SO YOUR MEETINGS ARE GOING TO BE THE LONGER BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TWO MEETINGS A MONTH.
SO THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE PUT ON THE AGENDA, YOU'RE ABLE TO KIND OF CUT THEM UP, SO YOU'RE ABLE TO OKAY? WE'LL DEAL WITH THIS ONE. THIS FIRST MEETING, THEN LET'S PUT THAT ON. SO YOU DON'T. HAVE A MEETING THAT'S REALLY LOADED. IT'S NOT LIKE WE STARTED 10 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AND WE'RE ABLE TO GO ALL DAY. AND YES, WITH WE WIND UP LIKE THE CITY OF STUART. THEY GO INTO TWO A.M. IN THE MORNING. THAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY. BUT I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO SET OURSELVES UP FOR THAT TYPE OF A SITUATION WHEN WE CAN CONTINUE TO LISTEN. WHEN WE SHOULD BE LISTENING AND DEALING WITH WHAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IN THE
[01:10:07]
MEETING EACH AND EACH TWICE A MONTH. THAT'S THE WAY THAT I FELT THE FIRST TIME AROUND.THAT'S THE WAY THAT I FEEL THIS TIME AROUND. IT'S DOUBLE HANDLING. IT'S JUST MORE WORK, AND IT MAKES YOU THINK IT MAKES MORE WORK FOR THE STAFF BECAUSE IT TAKES SO MUCH LONGER FOR EACH MEETING. SO SAID. ON. MY END PUT ALL I SAY SOMEONE. ASPIRE CARD. YOU HAVE HER HAND UP. YES. JUST SAY WELL, LET'S LET'S JUST I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THINK COUNCILMAN GIVES FOR HER COMMENTS? I MEAN, BUT I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE SIGNED UP FOR. SO YOU KNOW, YES, THEY GET ABOUT EMAILS, BUT THOSE WHO ATTENDED THAT STRATEGIC PLAN A MEETING THAT WE HAD. S O. LET'S JUST GIVE IT A TRY. AND, UH, HE SAID, IF IT DOESN'T WORK, THEN WE ALWAYS CAN CHANGE IT. BUT.
THE RESIDENTS. IT'S ABOUT THE RESIDENTS. JUST GIVE IT A TRY FOR THE RESIDENTS. AND IF I MAY AGAIN. UM, EACH MEETING THAT WE HAVE IS FOR THE RESIDENTS. AND LET ME JUST FINISH OFF WITH MY INPUT. IN THE IN THE STRATEGIC PLANNING. WE DID HAVE A FEW, UM. PRESIDENT'S STATE THAT THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND, UM, ARE DATED. NO. THAT. THE PUBLIC COMMENT IS JUST A PUBLIC GENERIC COMMENT. IT'S NOT FOR US TO RESPOND, UM. IT'S NOT FOR US. IT'S NOT YOUR TIME TO ASK QUESTIONS BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE, LET'S JUST CITY OF SORT JUST HAD A HUGE MEETING. AND YOU IMAGINE EACH EACH PERSON GOING WE HAD, I THINK. UM MAYOR CLARKE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD ABOUT 67 PUBLIC COMMENTS AND YOU IMAGINE EACH PERSON WOULD HAVE QUESTIONS. YOU IMAGINE HAVING STAFF DOING THAT DURING PUBLIC COMMENT. IT WOULD BE HARD S O HAVING THE WORKSHOP WILL. ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE REALLY LOOKING TOE INTO OUR AGENDAS AND HAVE QUESTIONS AND YOU KNOW THEY CAN DIRECTLY COME TO THIS WORKSHOP, AND THEY WILL HAVE THE COUNCIL BECAUSE WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT WE'RE BY LAW. WE'RE ON UNDER SUNSHINE, AND SO WE CAN'T SPEAK TO EACH OTHER ABOUT. BUSINESS ANYTHING THAT'S ON THIS AGENDA. I CAN'T SPEAK TO ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES ABOUT AND DURING THAT WORKSHOP, WE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE A FEEL. OF WHAT? IS HAPPENING ONE AND TWO ARE RESINS. CONCOMITANT ASK THE QUESTIONS. I KNOW THE FIRST TIME AROUND. I WAS IFFY BECAUSE OF YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO DELAY ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. BUT IF WE CAN DO SPECIAL MEETINGS AND THOSE CAN BE TAKEN UP ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS DURING OUR WORKSHOPS WERE AFTER OUR WORKSHOPS. THAT'S ALL. I'M OKAY WITH THAT, BUT I KNOW THAT THE WORKSHOPS WOULD HELP WITH ALL THE MISINFORMATION OUT THERE AND GIVE OUT THE FAX BECAUSE THERE'S YEAH. THIS IS THE TIME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ASK QUESTIONS. SO WITH THAT ANY PUBLIC COMMENT YES. YES. RG BARRY, IF YOU WILL A MUTUAL MIKE, PLEASE. HI. MARJORIE BERRY OF INDIAN TIM. I UNDERSTAND WHAT ANTHONY IS SAYING ABOUT THE SCHEDULING, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE AGENDAS FOR YOUR REGULAR VILLAGE COUNCIL MEETINGS COME OUT ONE WEEK BEFORE THE VILLAGE COUNCIL MEETING. THE WORKSHOPS WOULD TAKE PLACE. WEEK BEFORE THE AGENDA COMES OUT. THEREFORE IT DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE. FOR THE WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE THE AGENDA, SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE WORKSHOP CONVERSATION SHOULD BE ABOUT ANY ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE TO RESIDENTS. FROM THINGS MENTIONED THAT PREVIOUS MEETINGS OR SUGGESTIONS ABOUT WHAT TO PUT ON FUTURE. FUTURE AGENDAS OR TO WHAT WE WILL SEE IS THE VISION. WE HAVE WHAT. INDIAN TOWN IS GOING TO BE IN THE FUTURE. THAT WOULD BE MY COMMENT. THANK YOU. ROLL CALM, PLEASE. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION.
TIMING FOR THIS SCHEDULE CHANGE. WE HAD PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED JULY BUT TIME HAS PASSED SINCE THEN. DO WE WANT TO STICK WITH JULY OR START WITH AUGUST S O. UM, YOU GUYS NEED TIME, RIGHT? AUGUST IS THAT IS THAT ENOUGH TIME FOR THE STAFF, OR DO WE WANT TO START SEPTEMBER? I SHOULD BE OKAY, SO I'M SO I WANT TO AMEND THE MOTION TO ADD THAT WE WILL
[01:15:09]
START THIS CHANGE IN AUGUST. AND TO VICE MAYOR CLARK'S POINT. IF THIS DOESN'T YOU KNOW IF WE FIND OUT THAT THIS IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, AND THERE'S MORE EXCELLENT WAY, THEN WAY HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHANGE. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. FOR THOSE COMMENTS, VICE MIR. MM HMM. NO TOTAL COMMENT. ROLL CALL, PLEASE. COUNCIL MEMBER, DARLING, I. COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS NO. COUNCIL MEMBERS STONE YES.
