OF COURSE, I'D LIKE TO THINK COUNCIL MEN GUIDANCE STONE. WHO IS YOUR, UM, DESIGNEE TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD. AND WE THANK HIM FOR HIS TIME IN SERVICE IN THAT REGARD. I DID PASS OUT. I'M SORRY. I DON'T HAVE A SLIDE DECK FOR YOU THIS EVENING, SO I DID JUST PASS OUT KIND OF AN EXCERPT OF OUR THIRD QUARTER REPORT THAT WE WILL BE FILING WITH. VILLAGE MANAGER HOWARD BROWN WITH YOU NO MORE DETAIL BEHIND THIS, BUT GENERALLY THE THIRD QUARTER HAS BEEN A ACTIVE QUARTER FOR YOUR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD. WE DID MAKE TWO SMALL LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ANNOUNCEMENTS THIS PAST QUARTER IN ASSISTING SOME OF OUR RESTAURANT, EXPANDING RESTAURANTS THAT WERE EXPANDING. UM HERE IN THE COUNTY, IN PARTICULAR BOTH OF THESE RESTAURANTS THAT EXPANDED WE'RE IN HOPES SOUND. I GAVE YOU A PANEL CARD AS TO HOW WE DELIVER SERVICE TO FOLKS HOW THEY END UP ON OUR PROSPECT LOG AND IN PARTICULAR PROSPECTS REALLY START WITH THE SITE SELECTION COMPONENT TO OUR SERVICES. SO THIS IS WHERE. THESE RESTAURANT TOURS. WE'RE LOOKING TO EXPAND, MAKE INVESTMENT AND THAT'S HOW THEY ENDED UP ON THE BDB PROSPECT PIPELINE. ADDITIONALLY YOU'LL SEE IN THE, THIRD QUARTER REPORT THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY SERVING A PROSPECT PIPELINE OF 34 BUSINESSES AND DEVELOPERS WHO ARE LOOKING TO INVEST STARTUP GROW. STAY AND COME TO MARTIN COUNTY. ADDITIONALLY THE TEAM ASSISTED MORE THAN 183 LOCAL BUSINESSES AND RESTAURANTS THROUGH OUR BIZ HOTLINE. OUTBOUND CALL STRATEGY ONLINE 30 SEARCHES AND ALSO OUR ONE ON ONE VISITATION STRATEGY. WE CO PRODUCED THE REGION'S FIRST IN PERSON JOB FAIR DURING THE THIRD QUARTER. WE DID THIS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR PARTNERS AT CAREER SOURCE RESEARCH COAST, AND THIS WAS AGAIN THAT FIRST IN PERSON.

HIRING EVENT SINCE COAT THE COVID PANDEMIC HAD STARTED. WE HAD 26 EMPLOYERS, THE CITY OF STEWART PUBLIC SAFETY COMPLEX, HOSTED THE EVENT. FOR US AND 176 JOB SEEKERS CAME OUT,

[00:05:08]

AND LASTLY, WE DID FILE OUR FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUSINESS PLAN AND BUDGET WITH OUR PARTNERS AT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, AND WHEN VILLAGE. MANAGER UM HOWARD BROWN GETS OUR WHOLE THIRD QUARTER PACKAGE. YOU'LL ALSO HAVE THAT BUSINESS PLAN. IN YOUR PACKAGE IS ADDITIONALLY I WANT TO POINT OUT AGAIN OUR DASHBOARD FOR THE PROSPECT LOG IS ON PAGE TWO OF OUR THIRD QUARTER REPORT TO YOU. I MENTIONED THE 34 PROSPECTS IF WE WERE TO LAND, ALL OF THEM.

THAT WOULD HAVE A JOB IMPACT OF 1650 JOBS WOULD IMPACT 2.34 MILLION SQUARE FEET. OF COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL OFFICE SPACE AND WOULD POSSIBLY BRING $151 MILLION TO OUR COMMUNITY.

IN PARTICULAR YOUR YOU'LL SEE WITH THE TEENY TINY CHART THAT THE PROSPECTS BY GEOGRAPHIC INTEREST THE VILLAGE REMAINS, UM, A HIGH. HIGHLY VISIBLE, UM, COMMUNITY FOR OUR PROSPECTS IN PARTICULAR. UM MANY OF OUR PROSPECTS BY INDUSTRY SECTOR IN THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY. AND OF COURSE, THAT IS JUST THE VILLAGES HOUSE BEAUTIFUL. LANDS THAT ARE JUST READY FOR THIS TYPE OF INVESTMENT. IN PARTICULAR, THERE ARE SIX HIGHLY ACTIVE PROSPECTS RIGHT NOW IN THE VILLAGE. WE'VE RESPONDED, UM, ALONG WITH SOME OF YOUR PRIVATE SECTOR LEADERS AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. TO SEVERAL ENTERPRISE FLORIDA STATE REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS AND INFORMATION ON SOME OF THESE LARGER PROSPECTS, ALONG WITH ALSO THE F PL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM. IS ALSO DOING A LOT OF GREAT WORK WITH US, UM, ON BEHALF OF THE VILLAGE, SO GENERALLY AGAIN, THERE ARE SIX HIGHLY ACTIVE PROSPECTS AT THIS TIME. SEVERAL OF THEM ARE IN MANUFACTURING TO OUR ACTUAL DATA CENTERS AND. THE OTHER IS IN UP CYCLING, GLASS OF CYCLING CENTER THAT WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH AND TRY TO BRING TO THE VILLAGE. THE IMPACT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE. EACH OF THESE ARE NEW CONSTRUCTION. OBVIOUSLY SINCE YOU KNOW WE DON'T HAVE READY SPACES AND PLACES FOR THESE BUSINESSES YET, OF COURSE, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS.

WITH THOSE THAT OWN LAND TO TRY AND INSPIRE THEM TO TAKE SOME STEPS ABOUT POSSIBLY PUTTING UP SOME SPECULATIVE BUILDING SO WE CAN HURRY. UM. AND BRING MORE OF THESE BUSINESSES TO THE VILLAGE. BUT GENERALLY THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE IS THE SMALLEST OF A DATA CENTER ABOUT 25,000 SQUARE FEET OR AS LARGE, UM, AS A MANUFACTURER USER WHO'S LOOKING TO CITE A 500,000 SQUARE FOOT. MANUFACTURING, UM PLANTS. HERE IN THE VILLAGE. SO WE CONTINUE TO WORK DILIGENTLY ON THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD AGAIN, I MENTIONED, UM MARKETING AND BRANDING IS ONE OF THE UM. STRATEGIES THAT WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT. AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH A NEW MARKETING AND BRANDING STRATEGY AROUND OUR HUBS OF EXCELLENCE, WHICH ARE IN THE AREAS OF A AVIATION. MARINE, CLEAN AND GREEN HEALTHCARE MEDICAL I T AND AGRIBUSINESS AND OF COURSE YOU ALREADY HAVE. UM MANY OF THOSE ALREADY EMBEDDED IN YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN MOVING FORWARD, SO WE'RE. I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF FUN IN JOINTLY TELLING THE STORY OF THE VILLAGE IN PARTICULAR FOR THOSE NEW HUBS OF EXCELLENCE MOVING FORWARD. AGAIN I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU. WE'RE MOVING QUICKLY. YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE FISCAL YEAR, YOU KNOW, HERE WE ARE

[00:10:05]

[5.  

Approval of Contract with Captec Engineering for Construction Engineering Services in support of the Booker Park Drainage and Road Improvement Project in the Amount of $151,160.00.

EVENING LADIES GYM IN THE COUNCIL. CAN EVERYONE HEAR ME? YES. OKAY, SO AS YOU'RE AWARE, THE BOOKER PARK PROJECT IS OUT FOR BID RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S AN ESTIMATED $2 MILLION PROJECT WITH FUNDING FROM THE STATE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION FROM LAST YEAR. THE BOT DOES NOT ALLOW THE DESIGN ENGINEERING FIRM TO PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FOR A PROJECT THAT'S ONE OF THEIR REQUIREMENTS AS THE ADMINISTRATORS FOR THE PROJECT. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, A CE FIRM MUST BE RETAINED. THAT MANAGES CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT TAKES OVER RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROJECT AND CERTIFIES THE PROJECT UPON COMPLETION. SO, UM. ON BEHALF OF THE VILLAGE. WE REACHED OUT TO KIM LEE HORN AND CAP TECH. THE TWO OTHER FIRMS THAT ARE PROVIDING CONTINUING SERVICES FOR THE VILLAGE AND RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM CAP TECH ENGINEERING WHO HAS A D O T DIVISION THAT DOES THIS TYPE OF WORK. KIMBERLY HORN DOES NOT AND WOULD NOT DO THIS. WE HAVE RECEIVED A PROPOSAL TO CAP TECH ENGINEERING. WE HAVE WORKED WITH THEM NEGOTIATED THE SCOPE AND THE PROPOSAL AND THIS IS TO PROVIDE NEAR FULL TIME, UM CONSTRUCTION SERVICES THROUGH. ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT AND TO CERTIFY THE PROJECT TO THE STATE UPON COMPLETION. DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR ARCHRIVAL. YOU HAVE A MOTION? NO PROOF. SOME OF THEM. DO I HAVE A SECOND? BACK, THEN. ANY DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL? ONLY THING I WOULD ASK MR ARCHER. WELL, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN GET LIKE A TIMELINE? YES, MA'AM. SURE WE ARE ANTICIPATING NINE MONTHS TO SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION, AND WE'RE ALLOWING UP TO 12 MONTHS FOR FINAL COMPLETION, WHICH MEANS, UM CLOSE OUT OF ANY WHAT WE CALL PUNCH LIST. ITEMS ARE CLEAN UP ITEMS AND THEN CERTIFICATION TO THE STATE TO FINALIZE THE PROJECT. AND THAT WOULD START UPON, UM. OBVIOUS ONCE WE RECEIVE BIDS, THEN WE'LL HAVE TO SELECT THE LOWEST APPARENT BIDDER WILL EVALUATE BIDS AWARD AND THEN WE'LL PROVIDE A NOTICE TO PROCEED. MY GUESS WOULD BE WILL BE GOING TO CONSTRUCTION. PROBABLY WITHIN THE NEXT 45 DAYS. 45 TO 60 DAYS I WOULD ANTICIPATE US UNDER CONSTRUCTION. IS THERE ANY PROBABILITY MR VILLAGE MANAGER? WE CAN GET A TIMELINE LIKE A VISUAL ONE. YEAH, WE WILL. AND WHEN? WHAT. I THINK BILL. WHAT BILL SHOULD HAVE SAID WAS ONCE WE WORE AT THE BID, THERE WILL BE A SCHEDULE. PART OF THERE WILL BE A SCHEDULE OF BE PART OF THAT AWARD, AND SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET THAT TO THE COUNCIL SO YOU'LL SEE EXACTLY WHAT THE START DATE AND WHAT THE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLEATE WOULD BE. BECAUSE WE KNOW IN GOVERNMENT EVERYTHING HAS ITS PROCESS SO WE WANTED WE WANTED THIS PROJECT YESTERDAY OR AND WE DO REQUIRE GO BACK DO REQUIRE, BUT WE KNOW THAT GOVERNMENTS. GO SLOW. YEAH.

YES, MA'AM AS A PART OF THE PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING THAT PROCESS WE DO REQUIRE WRITTEN SCHEDULES FROM THE CONTRACTORS SO THAT WE CAN TRACK THE PROGRESS DURING CONSTRUCTION.

[00:30:02]

[6.  

Presenting the update of the Strategic Plan from Jim Karas.

WHAT'S THAT? GO AHEAD? YEAH. UH IT WILL THEN DOVETAIL WITH YOUR BUDGETING PROCESS. THANK YOU.

SO WE'RE SEEKING YOUR DIRECTION. AND I'M ADVANCING. HOW OKAY? THE VERSION THAT WAS IN YOUR PACKAGE DIFFERS A BIT FROM SOME OF THE LAST MINUTE UPDATES THAT WE RECEIVED. IT'S A NINE PAGE ITEM THAT HAS BEEN. TRANSMITTED TO YOU, AND IT'S CERTAINLY AVAILABLE. IT ALSO WILL BE REFINED FURTHER THROUGH YOUR BUDGET PROCESS. UH BUT JUST SO THERE IS ANY CONFUSION.

I HAVE A VERSION OF SOME LAST MINUTE CHANGES THAT MAY DIFFER THAT THAT IS DATED 19 JULY AS OPPOSED TO YOUR PACKAGE. FROM THE 14TH. AND AS MR BROWN MENTIONED AS WE GO BACK, AND FOR OUR PUBLIC, YOU ADOPTED YOUR FIRST STRATEGIC PLAN SHORTLY AFTER BECOMING A VILLAGE THROUGH 17 AND 18 AND 19, AND YOU ACCOMPLISHED. 95% OF WHAT YOU SET OUT TO DO, AND MY OBSERVATION IS YOU WERE CHALLENGED WITH EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN, UH, TO GET GOING AS A VILLAGE. AND HAD TO DO A LOT OF ADMINISTRATIVE CHORES THAT YOU'RE STILL DOING TODAY.

FOR THAT MATTER. I HOPE THAT YOU AND REMEMBER I'M NOT. I'M JUST YOUR TRAFFIC COP ON THIS TRYING TO DIRECT AND CHANNEL IDEAS. BUT TO ME, THIS DOES STRIKE A DIFFERENT VISION. IF YOU WILL, A VISION, BOTH PHYSICAL DESIGN OF THE VILLAGE AND BEAUTIFICATION AND THE LIKE, AND NOT JUST THE ADMINISTRATIVE CHORES. IT'S HOPEFULLY 19 DIFFERENT STRATEGIES THAT WILL HELP YOU GET TO THAT PLACE YOU WANT TO BE AND LEAVE A LEGACY IN INDIAN TOWN. SO, UM, AS WELL AS WE SAID, WE ARE IN THE BUDGETING PROCESS. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING. IT'S A CHANCE FOR YOUR PUBLICS. IN YOU TO SIT DOWN AND SORT OUT. WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT STRATEGIES TO CARRY OUT? WHAT ARE THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT GOALS THAT YOU'VE LAID OUT IN THIS PLAN? YOU PRETTY MUCH STUCK TO THE ORIGINAL VISION AND MISSION AND REMEMBER OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING PYRAMID. WE GO WITH A LARGE SCALE VISION AT THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID. AND ALL OF THE ACTIONS WE TAKE SHOULD BE FEEDING THAT VISION. YOUR VISION AGAIN. IT'S FIND BUSINESS AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PLENTIFUL FOR ALL IN THIS HISTORIC COUNTRYSIDE VILLAGE WHETHER YOU'RE WARMLY GREET YOUR NEIGHBOR PASSING ON MAIN STREET. IT'S ASPIRATIONAL. IT MAKES US FEEL GOOD INSIDE.

WE CAN'T MAYBE ACHIEVE ALL OF THIS, BUT IT'S WHAT WE'RE STRIVING FOR. THAT IS OUR OVERALL MISSION. SORRY VISION. HOW DO WE CONDUCT OURSELVES TOWARDS PURSUING THAT VISION? THAT'S WHAT THE MISSION AND THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES GIVE US. WE'RE ENABLING AN ECONOMIC PROSPERITY WITH NEW BUSINESS. WELL BUILDING COMMUNITY PRIDE AND COHESION THROUGH HANDS ON SELF GOVERNANCE. CHANGE THAT WE DID FROM LAST YEAR'S STRATEGIC PLAN IS YOU WON'T SEE A GOAL THAT HAS TO DO WITH ADMINISTRATION RIGHT NOW. THAT'S YOUR DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS. BUT IT'S ALSO REFLECTED IN THESE GUIDING PRINCIPLES. SO IN EVERYTHING WE DO, AND I'VE JUST HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW THOSE THAT JUMP OUT AT US I'VE HEARD SINCE DAY ONE.

[00:35:06]

PROMOTE LOCAL VENDORS WHENEVER POSSIBLE, AND THIS LAST ONE HAS REMAINED, ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT CENTRAL TO YOUR CORE MISSION, YOU CERTAINLY ARE SEARCHING FOR EDUCATIONAL PROMOTION OF EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES WHENEVER POSSIBLE. SO WE'RE WORKING OUR WAY DOWN THE PYRAMID FROM VISION MISSION GUIDING PRINCIPLES. NOW WE GET TO TWO MAIN GOALS AND YOUR STAFF ADMONISHED ME, AS BASICALLY CARES. WILL YOU MAKE THIS SIMPLE? IS IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE PROFESSORIAL AND HOW WE WORD THIS, SO THE TWO GOALS ARE PRETTY SIMPLE. I HOPE RIGHT NOW, UM, WE WANT ECONOMIC GROWTH. AND THAT MEANS HELPING OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND GROWING BUSINESSES AND THAT'S CENTRAL TO OUR STRATEGIC VISION. SECONDLY IS, CAN WE BE A MORE ATTRACTIVE AND DYNAMIC VILLAGE? AND THESE ARE ELABORATED ON IN OUR GOALS AND THERE ARE 19 ACTION STRATEGIES THAT I'VE JUST SUMMARISED BELOW. I'M ONLY GIVING YOU THE HEADLINES IN THE SUMMARIES VERSUS THE MORE OF THE MEAT THAT'S IN THE DOCUMENT. THAT WAS, UH TRANSMITTED TO YOU. I'LL RUN THROUGH THEM VERY QUICKLY. THERE ARE. THERE ARE EIGHT PLUS 11 8 PURSUE GOAL. THE FIRST ONE. HOW ARE WE GONNA HELP OUR LOCAL ECONOMY THROUGH ATTRACTING BUSINESS, COMMERCE INDUSTRY AND THEREBY ATTRACTING NEW HOUSING IN NEIGHBORHOODS? AND OUR BOATS ARE BOTTOM LINE INCREASED PROPERTY VALUES AND TAX BASE. EIGHT DIFFERENT ITEMS. I'LL TOUCH ON THOSE BRIEFLY ARE INCENTIVIZING PERVERT DEVELOPMENT THROUGH AND BY THE WAY, YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF THESE FALL UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE COMPETENT PROFESSIONAL TO MY RIGHT. WHICH ON THIS CHART IS C E D IS A COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND PROBABLY TOO MUCH FALLS ON L FIOS PLATE RIGHT NOW, SO IT DOES JUSTIFY YOUR ADDITIONAL STAFF. IT'S NOT WITHOUT THE HELP OF ALL OF US THAT. WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH THESE THINGS, BUT YOU'LL SEE A LOT THAT FALL IN THE DOMAIN OF THAT AREA. SO COLUMN ONE IS WHO'S ASSIGNED AS THE PRIMARY TO DO THESE ITEMS. CALL HIM TO. WE'VE ASSIGNED JUST A CODE LETTER TO IT. AND I'D THAT WE'VE TRIED TO MAP OUT AND THE ACTUAL ACTION. WHAT ARE WE DOING? COLUMN THREE. THE ESTIMATED COST BY THE WAY, THESE COSTS ARE ROUGH. THEY'RE HERE TO BE FLESHED OUT FURTHER IN YOUR BUDGETING PROCESS, AND THEY'RE THEY'RE IMPACTED BY GRANTS, WHETHER YOU RECEIVE THEM. OR NOT. AND THEN THE LAST PART IS THE TIMING, SO THEY'RE IN THE PRIORITY ORDER OF HOW WE THINK WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THESE BY QUARTER. AND THESE ARE CALENDAR QUARTERS. SO THOSE ARE THE. SOMEHOW THIS DID NOT. PHASES I WANTED IT TO, UM SO

[00:40:09]

THESE ARE ADVANCING YOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD. YOU NEED TO DECIDE WHAT YOUR FUNDING SHOULD BE TO SUPPORT THE BOARD. IN ADDITION TO YOU HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE ON THE BOARD. AND THEY RANGE FROM HELPING WITH, UH AS I MENTIONED SOME OF THE MAIN, UM. PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS THAT THE BOARD IS DOING 1 TO 1 VISITATION RETENTION EXPANSION.

WE MENTIONED DRY, DRY RUN APPROACHES AND READY TEAM, WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT BDP DOES. BUT THE IDEA IS WE BRING IN A PERSPECTIVE DEVELOPER. OR OR SOME NEW JOBS. HOW ARE WE GOING TO HELP THEM AT TWO O'CLOCK ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON? SOMEBODY'S GOT TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND VISIT WITH THEM AND BE READY TO SHOW THEM AND TELL THEM THE INDIAN TOWN STORY ARE THERE. PROPERTIES THAT ARE RIGHT BEFORE DEVELOPMENT. I WOULD HERE AND WE CAN LAND SOME JOBS IN THE AREA. SIDE HUSTLE THE MAIN GIG PROPEL MARTIN COUNTY ENTREPRENEURSHIP BUSINESS ACCELERATOR AND PARTNERING WITH CAREER SOURCE AND I R. S C FOR TRAINING AND STORYTELLING AND PROMOTION. THOSE ARE I'M JUST GLOSSING OVER THOSE QUICKLY.

HAPPY TO, UH, ANSWER MORE QUESTIONS IF NECESSARY, BUT. THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BE EMPHASIZING IN YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN. STATE OF THE VILLAGE MESSAGE. UH THIS IS ITEM FIVE. I THINK THAT'S SELF EXPLANATORY. IMPACT FEE ANALYSIS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE ABOVE ON MOBILITY AND, UH IMPACT FEES SINCE THIS RELATES TO PARKS AND STORM WATER. IT'S ANOTHER AREA THAT AS NEW DEVELOPMENT COMES IN YOUR COMMUNITY, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER RECOVERING SOME OF THOSE IMPACT COSTS THROUGH, UH, IMPACT FEES. AND THERE'S A $40,000 PLACEHOLDER FOR, UH, OUTSOURCING THAT ANALYSIS. SEVEN IS SOMETHING YOU DEVOTE A LOT OF TIME TO, UH, IN PAYING SPECIAL ATTENTION TO YOUR WATER AND WASTEWATER TRANSITION AND ENHANCEMENT. SUM OF THE PARTS OF THIS ARE INCLUDED THE. UM, UH, WATER MAIN, UH, ADDITION.

THERE IS A PLACE HOLDER OF $12 MILLION IN THIS A NEW ONE THAT MAYBE WASN'T BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION BEFORE IS A WATER SUPPLY PLAN. UM. THAT IS REQUIRED BY THE STATE. IT'S A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ANIMAL THAT HAS TO GO INTO YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THAT IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD OUTSOURCE YOUR LET'S SAY WE PUT IN A. A COMPLETION DATE INTO 2020 2022 FOR THAT. AND THAT IS A $60,000 PLACEHOLDER FOR YOUR WATER SUPPLY PLANNING. ITEM EIGHT DIALOGUE WITH YOUR TOP FIVE VILLAGE EMPLOYERS. THAT COULD BE THE TOP THREE. THAT COULD BE THE TOP SEVEN. THE IDEAS TALK TO THE FOLKS WHO ARE BRINGING JOBS TO YOUR COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW. AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR RESPONSIVE TO THEM, UH ARE THEY OBSERVING SOME IMPROVEMENT

[00:45:03]

AND I THINK JOAN HELPED US WITH THAT TERM IS TERMINOLOGY SHOW SOME LOVE TO THOSE WHO ARE BRINGING JOBS HERE. HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE WE'RE RESPONSIVE TO THEM? SO THAT TAKES CARE OF ALL THE BIG EIGHT FOR HOW ARE WE GOING TO HELP OUR ECONOMY IN THE NEXT 3 TO 5 YEARS? THE SECOND PART. LITTLE MORE ON THE PHYSICAL SIDE OF IMPROVEMENTS. THIS OVERLAPS AS WELL WITH SOME OF THE PROJECTS YOU YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT TONIGHT. EVEN THE BOOKER PARK PROJECT, FOR EXAMPLE. AND THE 11 THAT COME UP. IN THIS OUR FIRST VILLAGE HALL, PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING YOUR, UH, MOVING ALONG TOWARDS AN ARCHITECT SELECTION. WE HAD SOME INTERESTING. UH, UH, CONCEPTUAL, UM, DISCUSSIONS ABOUT? HOW WOULD THAT FIVE ACRE PROPERTY BE USED AS A COMMUNITY CENTER AND MULTIPLE USE FACILITY? AND INDEED IT COULD BE WOVEN INTO I'LL MENTION THIS IN A MINUTE, A GREEN BELT AND A WALKING AND MULTI USE TRAIL THAT ENCIRCLES THE VILLAGE.

THAT'S THE CONCEPT THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR A FEW YEARS. AND HOW WOULD YOU ADD THIS? THE NEXT ITEM CALLS FOR THE ADDITION OF A, UM. A PHYSICAL DESIGN OR A MASTER PLAN THAT WOULD BE AMENDED INTO YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND WHAT WOULD THAT? WHAT DOES THIS PICTURE LOOK LIKE? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE PHYSICALLY AND YOU SEE ON THE COVER OF THIS PLAN THAT IMAGE OF A BEAUTIFIED WAR FIELD OF A BEAUTIFIED AS WELL IN THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN. WHAT IS A BEAUTIFIED BOOK? R MARTIN LUTHER KING DRIVE LOOKED LIKE IN BOOKER PARK. AND HOW DO WE BEAUTIFY AND MAKE MORE FUNCTIONAL? SO THE VILLAGE MASTER PLAN INCLUDES ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC PARTS OF IT IS. TO, UM INTEGRATE AS I MENTIONED THE GREEN BELT, BUT HOW DO WE BRING BOTH COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, HOUSING HUBS AND THE LIKE TO OUR VILLAGE? IS IT JUST THE WHIMS OF OUR. DEVELOPERS SOMETIMES OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOESN'T DO WELL ENOUGH JOB IN IN CREATING THAT IMAGE. SO THIS IDEA IS BUILT UPON THE 2012 REDEVELOPMENT PLAN, UH, TO INTEGRATE AND NOW TO INTEGRATE YOUR VILLAGE CENTER IN VILLAGE HALL. BY THE WAY, I MENTIONED THE COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL. THE INPUTS FOR THIS PLAN, WHERE ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT BACK IN APRIL. THEN WE REVISITED THAT WHEN I VISITED WITH YOU, WE SAT WITH STAFF AND THEN AT YOUR LAST COUNCIL MEETING. RECALL THAT YOU HAD A LIST OF ITEMS THAT ARE ALL INCORPORATED IN HERE. I THINK DOWLING IS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT IT UP. AND THEN YOU DISCUSSED THAT AND SEND US BACK TO ALL THOSE NINE ITEMS ARE INCLUDED IN HERE. FEW MORE JUST TO GO OVER VERY QUICKLY. UM, CRITICAL ROAD. UH, PAVEMENT, REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE IN PARTICULAR. THIS IS THE, UM. ZONE YOU HAVE YOU'VE DESIGNATED DIFFERENT ZONES. YOU'VE COMPLETED ONE THAT WAS THREE OR $40,000 IN 2020, AND I DON'T HAVE A MAP OF THE ZONES, BUT YOU DO HAVE A VILLAGE PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE MASTER PLAN. SO YOU'RE WORKING THROUGH THESE DIFFERENT ZONES. IN IMPROVING YOUR YOUR STREETS AND DRAINAGE. THE BOOKER PARK.

ROAD AND DRAINAGE IS, UM I DON'T BE FOUR. AND YOU JUST HEARD ABOUT THAT FROM YOUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR THE, UM. OTHER DISCUSSION HAS BEEN. WHAT ABOUT MLK? COULD IT BE REDESIGNED? THE CONCLUSION WAS THAT THERE ARE CONSTRAINTS IN WIDENING THAT THAT THERE ISN'T A LOT OF RIGHT OF WAY SO THAT. REALLY WHAT'S CONCEIVED OF RIGHT NOW IS TO REVISIT THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR BOOKER PARK THAT WAS CONCEIVED IN YOUR 2012 REDEVELOPMENT PLAN. SO THAT'S WHAT'S BEING CALLED FOR HERE. AND IF THERE IS A WAY TO STREETSCAPE. UH M OKAY AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AREA WERE ANTICIPATING THIS PROJECT AT $35,000. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, UH, QUARTER SECOND QUARTER OF 2022. 23 CONSTRUCTION AS ITEMS ARE DECIDED UPON. THOSE ARE EDUCATED GUESSES AT THIS POINT. ITEM SIX. WE'VE HEARD YOU ON MANY OCCASIONS. TALK ABOUT GOING MORE GREEN. GO GREENER, CAN WE FIND AND PRESERVE MORE GREEN SPACE SUSTAINABILITY? RESOURCE PRESERVATION AND IN PARTICULAR TREE MITIGATION. HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT EVEN AND I THINK YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT TODAY IS HOW ARE WE GOING TO PRESERVE SOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL OLD.

[00:50:06]

WE DO HAVE SOME TREE TREE CANOPY ALREADY. WE DON'T HAVE ANY IN THE MEDIAN. YOU CAN SEE THE ENHANCED. UH FACADES ON EITHER SIDE. THIS WOULD BE THE MAIN PART OF OUR, UH, OUR OUR CENTRAL CORE, AND THIS CONCEPT COMES FROM THE 2012 REDEVELOPMENT PLAN. AND THEN WE MAPPED JUST DONE THE OLD FASHIONED WAY BY HAND FOR RIGHT NOW IS WHERE THE PROJECTS WOULD LIE AROUND THE VILLAGE. AND I'LL CALL OUT IN PARTICULAR. I THINK THAT ONE OF THE MORE DYNAMIC ONES WE EXTENDED THE LINES HERE AND BY THE WAY AS A CONCEPTUAL PLANNING TOOL. AND REMEMBER, A STRATEGIC PLAN IS NOT REQUIRED BY LAW, NOR DOES IT HAVE THE EFFECT OF LAW.

LIKEWISE WHEN WE PUT LINES ON A MAP, SO A PROPERTY OWNER MIGHT LOOK AT THIS AND SAY, WELL, WHY IS THERE A LAND ON PRIVATE PROPERTY? SOME OF THESE CAME FROM THE 2012 PLAN THERE.

STRICTLY CONCEPTUAL YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE DESIGNATED AS APPROXIMATE. BUT WOULDN'T IT BE A DYNAMIC CONCEPT IF YOU HAD A MULTI USE TRAIL THAT ENCIRCLED THE VILLAGE? IT TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE VISTAS, THE BEAUTY OF THE CANAL WAY AND SOME OF THE RURAL LANDS. AND THESE WERE

[00:55:05]

I'M A CYCLIST MYSELF. BUT ONE DAY IF I'M GUESSING THIS COULD BE IT. I MEAN, I'LL PUT IT.

I'LL PULL A NUMBER OUT OF THE HEAD AND SAY THIS COULD BE A 20. MILE. DOES THAT SOUND ABOUT RIGHT AS YOU LOOK AT THIS TO GO ALL THE WAY AROUND? WHICH IS KIND OF A DECENT, UM. DISTANCE FOR THOSE WHO CYCLE RUN ROLLER SKATE WERE EVEN THINKING. WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE THAT THIS COULD BE AN EQUESTRIAN TRAIL OR PARTS OF IT? IT DOES GO RIGHT INTO, UH. WHICH WE CALL IT POST PART WELL, IT DOESN'T GO BY POST PARK BUT THE COUNTY PARK ESCAPING. SORRY, POWERS. POWERS PARK? YES. UM. ONE OF THE MORE DYNAMIC THOUGHTS THAT IS PART OF YOUR PLAN. AND WITH THAT. I CONCLUDE MY REMARKS AND HAPPY TO SEE IF I MISSED ANY QUESTIONS AND ASK FOR YOUR EITHER ACCEPTANCE APPROVAL DIRECTION TO STAFF. DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS. QUICK QUESTION, MR HARRIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH GREAT PRESENTATION ON THOSE, UH, IN THE A SECTION. THERE'S GOALS ON A EIGHT AND DIALOGUE WITH TOP FIVE VILLAGE EMPLOYERS. DO WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO FIND OUT? OKAY. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THAT'S SOMETHING BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING. THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING THING. USUALLY SOME OF THE GOVERNMENTS ARE THE BIGGEST EMPLOYERS RIGHT FROM THE START, SO I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO USE MOVE DOWN THE LIST.

BUT. YEAH, IT'S PROBABLY OURSELVES, BUT BUT I WOULD IMAGINE IT'S THE SCHOOL AS WELL AS THE DISTRICT. THAT'S WHEN I WAS THINKING, YEAH. ALSO ON A FIVE PRESENT NEW YEAR'S STATE OF THE VILLAGE MESSAGE. WITH A BUDGET OF $10,000. WHAT IS ENVISIONED IN THAT THAT WOULD COST $10,000. I THINK I THINK THESE ARE UPPER END ESTIMATES NUMBER ONE. AND AS I UNDERSTAND IT, YOU'VE DONE SOME VIDEOGRAPHY OR VIDEOTAPING OF THESE. IT'S BEEN A ROUTINE MESSAGE THAT YOU ARE. MAYOR DOES. IF THAT'S LESS, MAYBE IS THAT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT'S AN ISSUE, BUT WE PUT IN A PLACE HOLDER OF 10 ISH, SO THAT'S VIDI, BASICALLY VIDEOGRAPHY AND PRODUCTION. I GOT THAT, RIGHT? YEAH YEAH, I CAN. I CAN JUMP IN THERE. OKAY, SO THE. SO WHAT? WHAT? WHAT I WAS THINKING IS THAT WE COULD PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER. THAT IS A YOU KNOW, STATE OF THE VILLAGE. A STATE OF VILLAGE VIDEO PRESENTATION AND WHAT IT IS IT. IT TAKES ALL OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. AND WE CAN HIGHLIGHT WHAT WE'VE DONE OVER THE COURSE YEAR. WHAT PROJECTS THAT THE COUNCIL PROVED. PROJECTS THAT THAT YOU KNOW THE PUBLIC MAY OR MAY NOT BE AWARE OF, BUT THE POINT IS TO USE THAT VIDEO PRESENTATION. YOU'RE IN A YEAR OUT WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE VIDEO. THAT WILL BE PLACED ON YOUTUBE AND SOME OTHER PLACES OF THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR. WHEN YOU GO TO MOST CITIES, YOU'LL SEE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL. EVERY YEAR. IT'S AN EVERY YEAR THING.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A NUMBER OF WAYS TO DO IT. YOU COULD. YOU COULD HAVE A MEETING LIKE WE HAVE TONIGHT AND HALF THE MAYOR COME IN AND DO A VIDEO AND. GIVE A SPEECH ON THE ACCOMPLISHMENT FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. UH, BUT AGAIN. IT LEAVES AFTER A WHILE, YOU KNOW, NO ONE REMEMBERS WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED. BUT IF YOU HAVE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL THAT HAS, UH, VIDEO ON THERE. FROM WHAT WHO THE MAYOR WAS DURING THAT TIME. WHAT GOT WHAT TOOK PLACE DURING THAT YEAR? IT'S, UH, IT JUST SERVES AS A BETTER PROMOTION TO FOR THE VILLAGE WHEN SOMEONE GOES IN GOOGLE'S, YOU KNOW, UH, BILLS OF ANY TOWN, THEY SEE OH STATE OF THE VILLAGE VILLAGE, SAY THE CITY BILL IS A VIDEO PRESENTATION. WHAT'S THAT? STATED SAY THE CITY, BUT IT'S JUST ONE WAY OF $10,000 IS KIND OF HEAVY. I'VE I'VE HAD THIS DONE FOR TWO OR $3000, YOU KNOW, BUT THAT WAS JUST A BUDGET NUMBER WE PUT IN THERE TO TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL. OKAY THANK YOU. AND IF I CAN ELABORATE ON ONE SLIGHT THING IN THE ACTUAL I GIVE YOU THE HEADLINE THERE THE WAY WE STATED IN HERE, IT'S ALSO FROM THE MAYOR AND SELECT PARTNERS.

SO ONE YEAR YOU MAY HAVE DONE COOL PROJECT WITH A NOT FOR PROFIT. WITH THE BDB WITH THE CHAMBER WITH WHOEVER WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THEY ARE ALSO FEATURED IN THAT VIDEO IS THE WAY WE WERE TODAY. SO IT'S MODELED KIND OF AFTER WHAT MARTIN COUNTY DOES. THAT'S WHAT

[01:00:06]

YEAH. I MEAN, I HAVE NOT SEEN MARTIN COUNTIES, BUT THEY HAVE AN AWESOME ONE. EVERY YEAR. I THINK YOU SEE A LOT OF MUNICIPALITIES DOING THIS AND YOU KNOW YOU COULD DO IT. YOU COULD DO IT ON THE CHEAP END. YOU COULD DO IT ON AN EXPENSIVE END. AND SO THAT NUMBER IS JUST A NUMBER WE CAME UP WITH. BUT OBVIOUSLY IT YOU KNOW, IT'S BASED ON BUDGETARY CONCERNS.

YEAH, AND I KNOW I KNOW THAT WE ACTUALLY DID IT ONE YEAR. WE HAD A THE MAYOR PRESENT A STATE OF THE VILLAGE ADDRESS. UM. AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT GO ON, SO I THINK THAT THAT'S I LIKE IT. SO WE TAILOR THIS WE CALL IT THE NEW YEAR'S STATE OF THE VILLAGE, TOO. SO IT FALLS AROUND JANUARY. WOULD BE A LOGICAL TIME. FEBRUARY YES, YEAH. VICE MAYOR CLARKE, MR BROWN FOR, UM A THREE IS THIS PART OF THE FEES? THAT WE APPROVE BACK SOME MONTHS AGO.

REMEMBER THAT GUY IS DOING THIS TRANSPORTATION? IS THIS SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. SO IT'S THE SAME THING. OKAY? I JUST I NEED THAT. IT'S SO THERE'S NO PRICE IN THERE OR IS IT COULD BE A PRICE? NO WE KNOW WHAT THE PRICE IS. OKAY? WE APPROVED THE CONTRACT. I THINK IT WAS AT 100. UH, HEALTHIER. SEVEN. OKAY? 1 75. 17 HE AIN'T IN HERE. I WOULD JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE OKAY. SAME THING. YEAH SO IT'S ONE OF THIS. REMEMBER, JIM SAID, YEAH. SO IT'S 1 75, BUT ALSO WE ALSO RECEIVED WELL, WE WILL BE RECEIVING A GRANT FOR $50,000.

FOR THIS THAT SO WE'LL BE REIMBURSED SORT. SO IN THEORY WOULD BE 100 AND $25,000. WHAT THIS WILL COST US. AND IF I MIGHT ADD AS A PROFESSIONAL WHO WORKED IN THIS AREA, THIS IS PAYBACK. THIS IS LAYING OUT THE FINANCING SYSTEM THAT YOU WILL BE PAID BACK FOR MANY TIMES OVER. BY RECEIVING IMPACT FEES. AND MOBILITY FEES. SO. YOU KNOW, THAT IS THAT IS THE LAYOUT. THE OUT LIFE TO GET THE SYSTEM IN PLACE. OVER THE YEARS AND I DON'T HAVE NUMBERS, BUT CERTAINLY YOU YOU GET PAID BACK. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN STONE. SAY THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. MR HARRIS. THANK YOU, UM. QUESTIONS BUT ACTUALLY WITH STAFF FIRST BULLET HALL WHERE ARE WE WITH THAT? SO VILLAGE HALL? WE UH WE DO HAVE THE RFP PUT TOGETHER FOR THE ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING SERVICES. I'M GOING TO, UH, BEFORE ADDING THAT TO WAIT SO HE COULD. REVIEW IT BEFORE YOU PUT IT OUT, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN HAVE IT OUT NEXT WEEK. I KNOW THE CLERK IS GOING TO BE IN SOME TRAINING. MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. UH SO HOPEFULLY NEXT WEEK WE'LL PUT IT OUT IN THE STREET. OKAY? AND. YOU'RE. LOCAL PARK B FIVE.

UPDATE THE 2012 GOOGLE PARK REDEVELOPMENT PLAN. IS THAT A PLAN THAT WE CAN GET? BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THAT PLAN. YES UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT BECAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN YES. UM I HAVE AN EXTRA COPY WITH ME. UM, IT'S WE WERE KIND OF THUMBING THROUGH IT AT ONE OF OUR WORKSHOPS. AND THE CONCEPT HERE IS STREETSCAPING, UH, TO THE EXTENT WE CAN, THOUGH, THE ONE OF THE FRUSTRATIONS IS, UM, IF WE'RE FOCUSING ON MLK DRIVE.

LANDSCAPING LIGHTING SIGNAGE, ETCETERA, BUT THEN WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT IT. IT'S NOT ONLY MLK, SO THERE'S OTHER FEATURES TO THAT. THAT YOU COULD DECIDE UPON AND YOU NEED TO CONCEPTUALIZE THOSE BUT REVISIT THE 2012 PLANNING, AND THAT'S TOTALLY SEPARATE FROM THE IMPROVED BOOGER PARK ROAD AND DRAINAGE, RIGHT? WELL, I MEAN, IT'S INTEGRATED ITS SEPARATE BECAUSE THE BOOK ARE PART REDEVELOPMENT PLAN WILL BE A PLANNING DOCUMENT THAT WILL USE OKAY. SO THE, UH THE BOOK OR PARK. RODEWAY INN DRAINAGE PROJECT THAT'S CONSTRUCTION WILL BE. ACTUALLY DOING ROADS AND REDESIGNING STORMWATER OVER THERE WHILE WE BUILD THOSE ROADS, SO. IT'S IT'S NOT THE SAME THING. BUT ONE COULD. YOU COULD SAY THAT? YOU CAN'T SAY THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BOOK READING AND PLANT IS YET SO. OKAY WELL, CAN I HAVE A COPY OF THAT? 2012 BOOK OF PARK? DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND ALSO I KNOW THAT WE'VE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT LIKE THE CITY. LIKE A VILLAGE. UM TOWN CENTRE. HAVING THAT IN MIND. I DON'T

[01:05:06]

CORRIDOR IT'S GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN JUST, UM. PLAN. IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME SOME ACTUAL.

THOUGHT PROCESS ON HOW DO WE ACQUIRE PARCELS IN ORDER TO DO AN ASSEMBLAGE TO ACTUALLY MAKE A CORRIDOR? SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I SEE THERE? I DON'T SEE US. AND AGAIN SOME STREET TREES AND SOME SIDEWALKS AND SOME BENCHES, AND IT WORKS BECAUSE IT WILL NOT WORK BASED ON WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM BILL ARCHER BILL AND THE EXERCISE THAT WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH WITH THE FBI. IN TERMS OF THE TOWN CENTRE PLANT. THE 2012 TALKS ABOUT A TOWN CENTRE AND I RECALL LOOKING AT SOME OF IT AND, YOU KNOW. WE CAN TAKE BITS AND PIECES OF IT AND WORK WITH IT. BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE DEFINED WHAT DOWNTOWN IS. IF SOMEONE ASKED ME WHAT WE'RE DOWNTOWN IS, I WOULD SAY IT'S. DEMO WATERS AND WAR FIELD AND THE POST OFFICE AND BUT I COULD BE WRONG, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, IT'S. WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW? YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? I MEAN, IF I ASK YOU WHERE WHERE. THE TOWN CENTRE IS YOU MIGHT SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT. SUSAN MIGHT SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT, TOO. SO. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO. UH YEAH, BECAUSE I CALLED THIS UPTOWN. I CALL THAT DOWNTOWN MM. AND THESE THINGS FLESH OUT ANOTHER OBSERVATION, AND MR BROWN AND I'VE BEEN AT THIS A LONG TIME. SOME PEOPLE WILL SAY WELL WORRY. YOU CAN'T ACQUIRE THE LAND IN THE VILLAGE CAN'T DO THAT. WELL, THE IDEA IS TO LAY OUT A VISION AND THAT WAY YOU GET AND THERE ARE LANDOWNERS AT THE TABLE THERE ARE OR LESS OARS OR THOSE AND THEY WILL THEY WANT TO COME TO THE IN PLAY BALL AS WELL. THEY COME UP WITH DONATIONS THEY OF LAND OR OTHER TO HELP WITH THAT IF YOU DON'T LAY OUT A VISION, THEN YOU END UP WITH THIS AND THAT OR HODGEPODGE, SO IT'S VERY HELPFUL AHEAD OF TIME TO LAY OUT THE VISION, AND IT CAN TAKE A DECADE EASILY, IF NOT LONGER. AND THEN FOR YOUR B SIX THE GO GREENER? YES, THE GREEN BELT. UM. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A TREE FUND. AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT LIKE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT MONEY INTO TREE FUND. I KNOW IT COMES TO THE COUNTRY COUNCIL AND THE COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, DETERMINES WHAT IT SHOULD BE. DONE WITH THAT MONEY. I KNOW DIFFERENT CITIES AROUND, UH, IN SOUTH FLORIDA, UM, CITY OF MARGATE CITY IN HALLANDALE BEACH. THEY USE THAT TREE FUN AND WHAT THEY DO IS, UM. I WHEN DEVELOPMENT COMES IN THERE, THERE'S A SPECIAL FUND. WHERE THE TREES WHERE THEY MITIGATE OR GOES, THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT GOES INTO THAT FUN SO. WHAT THEY DO WITH THAT MONEY IS THEY ACTUALLY BY TREES AND THEY DISTRIBUTE TO THE RESIDENTS BECAUSE THE MORE TREES YOU PLANT, YOU KNOW THAT.

UH DRINKS UP THE WATER. SO LIKE, IF IT RAINS, IT HELPS. SO I'M INTERESTED IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. UM, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT. ANYWHERE YEAH.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE TREE? FUN, AND WE? WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THEIR MAYOR. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. BUT WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THERE YET. YOU KNOW, DEPENDS DEPENDING ON THE JURISDICTION.

UH HOW THAT MONEY IS USED. WHAT WE WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR. WE HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT SAYS THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO ADOPT A TREE MITIGATION ORDINANCE. WE HAVE NOT DONE THAT YET. BUT WHAT OUR FIRST PROJECT TRACTOR SUPPLY THEY AGREED TO PAY US. MONEY UH, TO

[01:10:07]

WE THE STAFF. WE WON'T DO ANYTHING THAT MONEY UNTIL WE GET AN ORDINANCE IN PLACE ON HOW WE'RE GONNA ADMIT ON HOW THAT THOSE FUNDS WILL BE USED ON WHEN THAT COMES TO THE TABLE.

WE SHOULD ENSURE THAT IF THAT'S WHAT THE COUNCIL WANTS TO DO, IS USED THOSE FUNDS TO GIVE TREES TO FOLKS TO PLANT. ON OUR OWN ON OUR BEHALF. THERE'S A NUMBER OF THINGS YOU CAN. I'VE SEEN THAT MONEY USED FOR ALL KINDS OF THINGS RELATED TO TREE. YOU KNOW, TREE STUFF, SO IF WE WANT TO DO A TREE PLANTING PROJECT. THAT'S WHERE I SEE MONEY USED TO DO THAT, LIKE ON OUR RIGHTS AWAY. I'VE SEEN THAT MONEY, YOU KNOW? JUST WHAT YOU JUST SAID. IT'S A VERY COMMON THING TO SEE THAT. SO THAT'S JUST ONE PROJECT THAT WE COULD UNDERTAKE. UM. TO THAT END OVER YOU. I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, DEVELOPING AND GETTING THAT ORDINANCE OF WHAT THAT THOSE RULES ARE AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO USE THAT FOR IS PRECISELY I THINK PART OF THE ACTION ITEM HERE IS MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT, AND THAT'S. IT'S DEFINITELY BECOME AS DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS HAVE COME THROUGH. I THINK PLANNING STAFF AN IMPORTANT PART OF WHAT THEY WANT TO JUMP ON. AND THE GREEN BELT, YOU KNOW. BRING YOU TO THIS. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING A GREEN BELT. WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF AN ANTON BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE HELP PATIO CARE WHERE YOU CAN GO ON AND ON FOR DAYS OR HOURS AND GO BETWEEN THE TREES AND WALK. UM SO I DO THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA FOR THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. UM. BUT HOW WOULD HOW WOULD WE BE ABLE TO? I KNOW THERE'S GRANT FUNDING FOR US TO TRY TO PRESERVE OR MAKE LIKE A PARK. UM YOU KNOW? LIKE A HIKING SHOW OR SOMETHING VIA, UH, THE STATE.

BUT HOW WOULD WE BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS GREEN BELT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT. WELL, IT DOVETAILS WITH THAT CONVERSATION PERFECTLY. THE MITIGATION. THE TREE MITIGATION PROGRAM COULD DIRECT YOU COULD DESIGN THE GREEN BELT TO BE ONE OF THE MITIGATION AREAS. I'VE GOT TO TAKE DOWN A TREE OVER HERE. I'M GOING TO PLANT FIVE OVER THERE. AND IT IS IN THE MULTI USE BETRAYAL THAT ENHANCES WE WOULD PICK THE TRAIL BASED ON IT. IT'S ALREADY BEEN CHOSEN. I THINK, ACCORDING TO PROPERTY BOUNDARIES, UM AND WOODED AREAS THAT ALREADY ARE ARE ALREADY VEGETATED. INCIDENTALLY I LIVED FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS IN THE OCALA AREA, WHICH IS EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT ONE OF THE PREMIER INTERNATIONAL HORSE COMMUNITIES.

AND PEOPLE ASKED. WELL, WHAT IS THIS ENGLAND BUT OUR OWN PROPERTY? UM WE ALL GAVE UP SIX FT. AND OUR NEIGHBOR GAVE UP SIX FT. SO BETWEEN EVERY PROPERTY OF IT, LIKE FIVE ACRES OR SO YOU HAD A 12 FT. EASEMENT. AND EVERYBODY IS A MULTI USE TRAIL. IT'S USED FOR HORSES, RUNNING BICYCLES, ETCETERA, AND IT'S TECHNICALLY PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUT THAT EASEMENT IS MAINTAINED BY EVERYONE. THE FENCING IS MOVED BACK BY SIX. FT. SO YOU'VE GOT A 12 FT. YOU KNOW? RECREATIONAL TRAIL. BETWEEN ALL THE RURAL PROPERTIES, SO IT'S DONE ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT IS DOABLE. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE GET A LITTLE THIS LITTLE PROGRESSIVE FOR SOME PEOPLE, BUT. OKAY YEAH. I JUST WANT TO MANAGE SOME EXPECTATIONS HERE. I ACTUALLY WORKED ON THE PROJECT LIKE THIS. IT'S CALLED THE CAMP CREEK GREENWAY TRAIL AND WHAT IT WHAT IT WAS AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE. THIS IS GOING THIS IS THIS IS A THIS IS A. LONGER TERM PROJECT. THIS WON'T HAPPEN IN THE YEAR OR FIVE YEARS. YEAH, IT COULD. YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT? WHAT I'VE SEEN SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. THERE ARE NO WALKING AREAS FOR PEOPLE OTHER THAN THE BRIDGE THERE. AND SO, UM. MY THOUGHT PROCESS WAS, HOW CAN WE? HOW COULD WE CREATE A GREENWAY TRAIL THAT CONNECTS? THAT BRIDGE THAT WALKING COMPONENT AROUND THE VILLAGE AND BACK TO, UM VILLAGE HALL. YOU KNOW, I'VE EVEN I EVEN THOUGHT THAT MAYBE WE HAVE A WALKING TRAIL AROUND. THE NEW VILLAGE HALL, AND BY THE WAY, HERE'S THAT LEG RIGHT HERE.

HERE'S WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. YEAH, SO WE SO THERE'S A PROCESS THIS BECAUSE THE FIRST THING I DO IS IDENTIFY THE PLAN, AND THEN WE GOTTA THERE'S OTHER ENGINEERING ISSUES THAT WE HAVE TO OVERCOME AND THEN ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY. SO A LOT OF THIS. IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE DONE IN PHASES, AND, UH. YOU KNOW, BUT I THINK THAT WE NEED SOMETHING LIKE THAT HERE IN THIS COMMUNITY. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW THAT THIS HAS A LOT OF COMPONENTS TO

[01:15:04]

YOU KNOW, COME TO AN AGREEMENT. THEY GIVE UP SOMETHING. WE GIVE THEM SOMETHING. UM OR WE BUY ACQUIRE IT, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO START MAKING A PLAN BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT GREEN BELT AROUND IN THE IN TOWN. MAKES MARY CLARK YES. UH SO BACK TO THE TREE FUND. SO MISS JEFFERSON, UH, THAT WAS ALREADY IN THE COMPLAINT AND WADE. YOU SEE IT. UM. WELL MR BROWN SAID. WE'LL CREATE A SEPARATE PHONES. YES, BECAUSE THAT NEED TO BE CLARIFIED WITH SOME OF THE RESIDENTS BECAUSE IT'S LIKE THIS TREE FUND JUST DROPPED UP SKY SOMEWHERE, AND IT WAS JUST. HAPPENED TO COME WHEN THE TRACK TOO? SURE YOU MADE THE TRACTOR STORE CAME UP. JUST CLARIFY A LITTLE BIT, PLEASE. WELL, UM. YOU KNOW, IT'S GOT A LONG WAY OF OR THE SHORT FOR THE RESIDENTS SAKE.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE LT WILL BE THE BEST PERSON. I SAY. THAT'S WHAT I HAVE. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS. THE JEFFERSON COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR FOR THE RECORD. IT IS NOT A TYPICAL FOR COMMUNITIES TO HAVE A TREE MITIGATION FIND THAT SHE USED IN SIMILAR WAYS THAT THE MAYOR HAS MENTIONED WHAT THE VILLAGE MANAGER HAS ALSO MENTIONED. OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES CALL FOR US ADOPTING OR YOU ADOPTING AN ORDINANCE FOR A TREE MITIGATION AND A TREAT MITIGATION FUND. WE DO HAVE A NEW L D. R AS YOU KNOW, AND IN THE LANDSCAPE PORTION OF THAT CODE, THERE IS NO MITIGATION FUND THAT WAS ESTABLISHED. AND IF YOU RECALL A COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK, YOU ASKED ABOUT PRESERVATION AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THIS THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WOULD FEED INTO UP IN YOUR. YOUR GAME ON PRESERVATION. UM. THE FUND IS NOT THEIR TRACTOR SUPPLY, ACTUALLY. BECAUSE THIS IS AN ATYPICAL THEY ACTUALLY HAD BASICALLY MADE OUT. AN AMOUNT DUE OF $100,000. FOR THE TREE MITIGATION. THEY WERE. CALCULATING THAT AT A RATE OF A TYPICAL COMMUNITY THAT THEY'VE WORKED WITH. AND WE SAID YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE THIS MONEY. WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE A TREE MITIGATION FUND. AND THEY FELT LIKE IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. AND. THEY OFFERED WE LOOKED AT. AN ALTERNATIVE MULTIPLIER OTHER THAN THE ONE THEY USED, AND IT REDUCED IT DOWN TO THE 30 SUMMER $1000. THEY ENDED UP GIVING TO THE VILLAGE. TO ESTABLISH THE MITIGATION FUND.

SO AS MENTIONED IN THE COM PLAN, AND WE JUST GOT TO DO SOME, UH WE HAVE WE HAVE TO CREATE AN ORDINANCE AUDIENCE THAT CARRIES OUT THE INTENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND IT'S NORMAL WEIGHT IN OTHER CITIES, MR BROWN. YES MA'AM. THIS IS AND ALSO JUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF COUNSEL. YOU KNOW, THESE DEVELOPERS AGREED TO IT. IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT UNLESS THEY AGREE TO IT AND LIFETIMES. I CAN TELL YOU THAT OTHER CITIES THEY HAVE IT BECAUSE I'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF. THANK YOU, MISS JEFF. SO WHEN WOULD THIS LANGUAGE COMMON IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL? WELL TO SET THIS UP, BECAUSE WE ARE TRACTOR SUPPLY WAS AT FIRST WE HAVE A LAUNDRY LIST. I SEE YOUR YOUR MANAGER'S REPORT. THERE'S LAUNDRY LIST AND THAT. I REALLY LIKE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT ESTABLISHES THAT WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. WE, UM WE GOT A PROPOSAL FROM ONE OF THE. THE CONTRACTORS CONSULTANTS TO DO THE. THE OTHER PART OF IT. UH, THE, UH. YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, GO AHEAD. YEAH, PLEASE. SO BASED ON. YOUR REQUEST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO ABOUT FOCUSING ON PRESERVATION AND PROTECTING AREAS IN THE VILLAGE. WE ASKED ONE OF THE CONSULTANTS. TO GIVE US AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT IT MIGHT COST TO DO A FEW WORKSHOPS FOR YOU AND TO EXPLAIN TO YOU WHERE WE ARE TODAY. AND BE LARGEST EXTENT OF WHAT YOU COULD DO IN TERMS OF PRESERVATION. AND THEN. HOW WE CAN TWEAK. OR AMEND OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. TO GIVE A NICE EVEN BALANCE. SO THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CODE, UM FOR PROTECTING TREES.

[01:20:05]

AND IN LINE IN LINE WITH THE COMP PLAN, BUT ALSO IN LINE WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING. I THINK FOR THEM TO COME BACK THEN AND BE WILLING TO, YOU KNOW, UM.

CONTRIBUTE $30,000 IS GOOD OF THEM FOR NOT HAVING TO DO ANYTHING, BUT WE'RE DEFINITELY SELLING OURSELVES SHORT. SO I AGREE. SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO BASED ON WHAT I JUST HEARD.

WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO ASK THIS CONSULTANT TO REVISE THEIR SCOPE TO INCLUDE SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT I'VE HEARD TONIGHT. AND GET THIS MOVING AS QUICK AS WE CAN. SIR. OKAY SO YOU HAVE A MOTION TO RECEIVE. THAT'S RIGHT. DOES IT RECEIVE THIS REPORT? STEPHEN FILE RECEIVING FILE. YOU HAVE A 2ND 2ND AND ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT.

BROKE HOME OUT OF THERE. THAT'S. IT'S OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS I. COUNCIL MEMBER STONE VICE MAYOR CLARKE. YES, MAYOR HERNANDEZ. YES, MR VILLAGE MANAGER. ITEM NUMBER SEVEN.

[7.  

Second Amendment to Interlocal Agreement between the Village of Indiantown and Martin County, relating to Fire Rescue Services.

BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. UH FOR APPROVAL. UH AND THEN ALSO ON THIS AGENDA TONIGHT, BUT AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO, UH, TO POSTPONE IT TO THE NEXT MEETING. I'LL EXPLAIN WHY IN A MINUTE ARE THE TWO INSTRUMENTS THIS AMENDMENT IN OUR LOCAL AGREEMENT AND THAT ORDINANCE THAT IMPLEMENT ALL THOSE DEAL TERMS. SO WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT TRACING BACK TO ORIGINAL INTER LOCAL YOU ALL APPROVED IN THE FIRST. MANY WEEKS OF THE VILLAGE. UM. AND THIS AMENDMENT PROVIDES THAT THE COUNTY WOULD PROVIDE $1.5 MILLION GRANT TO THE VILLAGE FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE VILLAGE

[01:25:03]

THERE WERE SOME, UM, RELATIVELY MINOR TWEAKS IN THE END, BUT THAT LANGUAGE IS THERE IN THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT. THE, UM. AS I MENTIONED THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PARTS TO THIS. THIS IS THE TIMELINE OF HOW THIS WOULD ALL WORK OUT. IF YOU ALL APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT IS BEFORE IT BEFORE YOU FOR YOUR APPROVAL TONIGHT. UM. JUST SAY YOU KNOW, JUST AS WELL BE IMPLICIT IN THE TIMELINE. I'M GIVING YOU THIS HAS NOT GONE TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR THEIR FINAL APPROVAL YET, AS YOU ALL KNOW, DEALING WITH THE COUNTY FOR YEARS, THEY HAVE A POLICY THEY LIKE. THE OTHER SIDE TO GO FIRST, AND THAT'S FINE. BUT WE HAVE A WAY THAT THAT WORKS OUT JUST FINE FOR US IN THIS INSTANCE. UM BUT THIS IS, UH, THIS IS THE IN THE LOCAL AGREEMENT THAT THE COUNTY ATTORNEY IN THE ACCOUNTING ADMINISTRATOR, UH, FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE RECOMMENDING TO THE BORDER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, SO WE FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. IN ANY EVENT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR APPROVAL WILL BE THIS INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT. AND UH THEN I'VE BEEN ADVISED THAT ON AUGUST 10TH, THE INNER LOCAL, THE AMENDMENT TO THE INTER LOCAL WILL GO BEFORE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR THEIR APPROVAL. YOU ALL APPROVE IT TONIGHT AND THE BORDER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS APPROVES IT ON AUGUST 10TH, THEN WE WOULD BE RECOMMENDING TO YOU AT YOUR NEXT MEETING AFTER THAT AUGUST 10TH MEETING, WHICH WOULD BE AUGUST 1919. THAT YOU WOULD THEN ADOPT THE ORDINANCE THAT OPS YOU INTO THE MARTIN COUNTY AMOS TO YOU AN MSB YOU FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS, BASICALLY, IF YOU WERE TO ADOPT THE SENATOR LOCAL AND THEY ADOPTED THE SENATOR LOCAL, BUT WE DIDN'T ADOPT THAT ORDINANCE. IT'S ALL NULL AND VOID. BUT IT'S THESE ARE THE THREE PARTS HOW THEY'D ALL GO TOGETHER. SO YOU'D BE APPROVING FIRST. THEN THEY'D APPROVE. BUT THEN ULTIMATELY YOU WOULD BE APPROVING THE ORDINANCE THAT, UH, THAT PUTS IT ALL TOGETHER.

SO WITH THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE AND THE COUNTY, AND I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS THANK YOU. UM. YOU WERE VERY SPECIFIC AND THAT THE PROJECT WOULD BE THE LOOPING PROJECT. IS THAT THE ONLY PROJECT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND WHERE WE TIED INTO THAT BEING THE PROJECT THAT THAT MONEY IS SPENT ON. IN THE IN THE INTER LOCAL AS IT'S SET OUT RIGHT NOW IT IS AND LET ME TELL YOU VERY PRECISELY WHY.

OKAY, IT'S A VERY PARTICULAR REASON. AND IT'S. IT'S WHY THIS HAS TAKEN A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME THAN I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO GET IT BACK TO YOU. SO, UM. AS YOU ALL KNOW, THE THOUGHT WITH REGARD TO, UM, WHERE THE VILLAGE WOULD GET ITS. PART OF THE MONEY TO WORK ON THIS PROJECT AS WELL WOULD BE THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT. FUNDS HAVE BEEN COMING DOWN. AS WE WERE WORKING IN DEPTH WITH COUNTY STAFF AND AS THEIR FOLKS WERE DIGGING IN VERY DEEPLY WITH THE, UM. DIGGING IN VERY DEEPLY WITH THE PERMITTED USES OF THOSE FUNDS. WHEN YOU DIG INTO THE WEEDS AND THE TREASURY REGULATIONS THAT HAVE COME DOWN. HEADLINE THAT YOU SEE IN THERE.

RIGHT? IN KIND OF THE MARKETING FOR THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT. THEY SAY IMPROVEMENTS FOR WATER AND SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE, OKAY. FORTUNATELY, WHEN YOU READ END THE DETAILS. WHAT THEY GET INTO IS SOMETHING VERY MUCH MORE SPECIFIC, ALL RIGHT, AND THAT IS, UM IT HAS TO BE PROJECTS THAT WOULD BE SRF. ELIGIBLE ALRIGHT IF YOU'LL RECALL YOU ALL HAVE BORROWED

[01:30:05]

CHARACTERIZED PRIMARILY IN THAT WAY ARE INELIGIBLE. UNDER THE. AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT FUNDS.

OKAY, SO THIS IS A CONUNDRUM THAT CAME UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS A NEEDLE. WE NEEDED TO THREAT. ALL RIGHT, SO WE DID. TWO THINGS WITH REGARD TO THIS ONE. FROM THE COUNTIES PERSPECTIVE. AND I APOLOGIZE THAT THIS IS COMPLICATED. TRUST ME. THIS IS COMPLICATED.

WORKING THROUGH AS WELL. BUT, UM. FROM THE COUNTIES PERSPECTIVE, THE COUNTY HAS SHIFTED. WHAT FUNDS THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE THEIR MONEY OUT OF. TO PAY THE 1.5 MILLION.

THEIR MONEY IS NO LONGER COMING OUT OF THEIR AMERICAN RESCUE ACT. PLAN FUNDS. OKAY IT'S COMING OUT OF A DIFFERENT POT. HERE'S WHY THEY FEEL. THAT IN ORDER TO FOR THEM TO JUSTIFY.

FROM THEIR STANDPOINT OF THIS BEING SOMEHOW RELATED TO FIRE. OKAY, THAT THEY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THEIR FUNDS. ARE GOING TO BECAUSE THEIR PRIMARY MOTIVATION IS FIRED.

OKAY? UM. THAT THEY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE THERE. FUNDS COMING OUT OF THERE. THEY'RE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT FUNDS. OKAY? SO. IN THE CENTRE LOCAL AGREEMENT. WE'VE TAKEN OUT THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT PROJECT BECAUSE THEY FEEL IT WILL HAVE A BENEFIT. OF ACCOMPLISHING THAT END THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT THEY HAD TALKED ABOUT WITH REGARD TO FIRE FOUR.

ALL RIGHT. BUT FROM OUR STANDPOINT. WE WENT, AND HOWARD AND I WORKED TOGETHER AND THEN WORKED WITH BILL ARCH BULL AND ARCH BILL AND DANIEL MAGARA, WHO HAS BEEN OUR CONSULTANT ON THE OTHER SRF APPLICATIONS THAT WE'VE MADE. AND SO ANOTHER ENGINEER WITH THE FIRM. OR WITH WITH THE VILLAGE. UH, TO GO THROUGH AND HAVE HIM TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THEN ACTUALLY GO TO STATE OF FLORIDA STATE REVOLVING FROM THE SRF PROGRAM AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT THIS PROJECT AND CONFIRM. FROM THE VILLAGES STANDPOINT, WHEN DESCRIBED IN THE WAY THE VILLAGE WOULD DESCRIBE IT. THAT IT WOULD BE SRF ELIGIBLE. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN SO. IT SATISFIES THE COUNTY IN WHAT THEY WANTED THE GOAL THEY WANT TO DO ACCOMPLISH. AND THEN WHAT? WE'RE ABLE TO USE OUR MONEY UP. OKAY AND THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT THE COUNTY AND THE VILLAGE, AT LEAST FROM THE INFORMATION WE HAD COMING INTO THAT TIME. YEAH. BOTH WERE OKAY WITH. SO THAT'S WHERE WE'VE ARRIVED WITH REGARD TO THIS. I WILL TELL YOU IF, UH, FROM EVERYTHING THAT I HAD. UM. WE HAD AND IN PARTICULAR, UH, OUR ENGINEERS. WHO DEAL WITH SRF ALL THE TIME HAD GRAVE CONCERNS OF KEEPING A PRIOR DRAFTED THE LANGUAGE I HAD HAD IN THE CENTRE LOCAL, WHICH WAS. USE THE MONEY FOR A PROJECT THAT WOULD IMPROVE FIRE FLOW IF WE HAD THAT IN HERE. THEY HAD GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT IF WE WERE AUDITED. AFTER OUR AUDIT AFTER RECEIVING THE MONEY FOR THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT THAT THERE WOULD BE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH CHARACTERIZING IT THAT WAY, SO WE DON'T CHARACTERIZE IT THAT WAY. BUT FROM THE COUNTIES PERSPECTIVE, THEY ARE COMFORTABLE THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD STATUS FI THOSE CONCERNS AND THEREFORE THEY'RE OKAY WITH IT. I'M SORRY FOR THE EXTREMELY COMPLICATED EXPLANATION THERE. BUT THIS THIS IS THIS IS THE WORK. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE.

TO MAKE THIS ALL TRY TO COME IN FOR A LANDING WELL, AND I AND I APPRECIATE THAT. SO LET ME MAKE

[01:35:01]

YES, EXACTLY. OKAY, WELL, MY. MY CONCERN MY ISSUE, WHICH IS OKAY, IT'S GREAT. THE LOOPING PROJECT. WE'RE GETTING SOMETHING DONE. THAT'S GREAT. OKAY AND I KNOW IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH THE VILLAGE MANAGER. UM, I EXPRESSED THAT THAT LOOPING PROJECT SOLELY IS WHERE IT'S AT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT ON THE MAP. IT'S OUT THERE IN THE COMMERCIAL AREA. AND THAT'S WHERE THAT LOOPING PROJECT IS LOCATED. AT. AND THAT LOOPING PROJECT BENEFITS THAT OUT THERE, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE SYSTEM HERE? AND SO MY THING? MY. COMMENTS WERE WELL WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS PUBLICS WORKS ALSO BROUGHT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS, ALONG WITH THE LOOPING, NOT JUST THE ONE BUT IT BROUGHT US MORE THAN THAT, AND ONE OF THEM WAS A DEDICATED POMP. WITH A DEDICATED RESERVOIR THAT WOULD HELP WITH PRESSURE WENT IN UPTOWN. WE'RE TALKING NOT JUST OUT HERE, A LOOPING PROJECT. THAT JUST WOULD HELP COMMERCIAL BUT A DEDICATED SYSTEM MORE OR LESS THAT WHEN YOU OPEN UP A FIRE HYDRANT AND PRESSURE GOES DOWN, THEN THIS WOULD KICK IN. AND IT WOULD HELP PRESSURE IN THE REST OF INDIAN TOWN. AND I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, VILLAGE MANAGER HAD SAID. OKAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, THE AARP FENCE WILL BE GETTING SOME IN SO THEN WE CAN DISCUSS BUT IF IT DOESN'T MEET THE CRITERIA, MAYBE WE CAN EXPLAIN IT SOME A DIFFERENT WAY. BECAUSE I WAS AT THE END, AND IT IMPACTS EVEN FURTHER. I FOUND IT INTERESTING WAS THAT THE MARTIN COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION THEY'RE MEETING ON MONDAY. THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THEIR PROJECT ON THIS SIDE OF TOWN AND WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TIE IN. AND THEIR CONCERN IS PRESSURE BECAUSE GETTING IT OUT THERE, SO THAT'S JUST EVEN FOR ME. IT'S JUST EVEN MORE OF A REASON. MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT. BECAUSE LONG RANGE YOU'RE TALKING THE FAIRGROUNDS. THAT'S AN ECONOMIC IMPACT. THAT WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT TO PROVIDE. GOOD WATER, PRESSURED WATER OUT THAT WAY. SO THAT'S THE REASON I WAS ASKING IF IT TIES US INTO THE TO THIS LOOPING PROJECT. YOU KNOW, I WAS KIND OF EXPECTING IT TO OKAY. MAYBE WE CAN WORK THIS OTHER ONE IN ALSO WITH THAT MONEY. SO THAT WAS THAT'S MY CONCERN. MAYBE WE COULD GET BUILT THE BILL, CAN YOU PROVIDE SOME SOME EXPLANATION. YEAH. SURE. THE. FUNDS THAT WE ARE ALLOCATING RIGHT NOW FOR THE LOOP TO THE WEST IN THE TOWN, WE WILL FULLY UTILIZE THOSE FUNDS IN THAT LOOP TO THE WEST AND THE TOWN. UH THAT WILL STRENGTHEN OUR FLOWS ALONG STATE ROAD, 7 10. BOOKER PARK AND THE WEST FARM ROAD THE ENTIRE CORRIDOR RIGHT NOW, BOTH OF THOSE QUARTERS ARE SERVED ON LONG DEAD END LINES WILL REINFORCE THOSE THE OTHER END OF TOWN. UM. FOR STARTERS, THE WATER PLANT HAD THREE VERY OLD WHAT ARE CALLED HIGH SERVICE PUMPS, WHICH ARE THE PRESSURIZATION PUMPS. THE PRESSURIZE THE SYSTEM. ALL THREE OF THOSE PUMPS ARE BEING REPLACED RIGHT DOWN, SO WE WILL HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL CAPACITY AND SOME ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE. UPTOWN AREA IN CASE OF FIRE. WE WILL NOT BE IN A POSITION LIKE WE WERE THE LAST TIME WHERE THE TOWN CAME DOWN WITH A HYDRANT TO ADDRESS THE EAST AND THE TOWN. I'LL CALL IT WHERE THE FAIRGROUNDS IS LOOKING. WE ARE LOOKING SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM. SHORT TERM WE'RE LOOKING AT PROVIDING JUST POTABLE WATER OUT THERE. WE DO NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO

[01:40:05]

THERE'S ALSO TALKS WITH THE DAWSONS REGARDING RESERVING READ. UH THEY RESERVED PROPERTY YEARS AGO FOR THE UTILITY FOR WATER TREATMENT PLANT ON THE AIRPORT PROPERTY. THERE'S DISCUSSIONS WITH MS CORBETT, THEIR ENGINEER, THAT THEY MAY BE WILLING TO DO SOMETHING AGAIN WITH THAT REGARD TO ALLOW US A FUTURE WATER TREATMENT SITE LONG TERM AND WITH THAT BACKING UP TO THE DRI, I'LL POINT OUT THE D R E IS GOING TO BE FED FROM ABOUT FIVE LOCATIONS WHICH WILL ALSO STRENGTHEN UPTOWN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A VERY LARGE MAIN RUNNING THROUGH THE. THE RI, WHICH IS GOING TO BACK FEET UPTOWN FROM MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, SO THERE ARE A LOT OF PIECES TO THIS PUZZLE THAT WILL PROVIDE, UM INCREASED RELIABILITY AND PRECIOUS TO THE UPTOWN AREA. WHAT WE'RE DOING IS ALSO THE SRF PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE.

THAT'S NOT JUST PLANT IMPROVEMENT. THAT'S ALSO INCLUDING WATER AND SEWER IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SYSTEM. THERE ARE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE UPTOWN AREA, REMOVING SOME UNDERSIZED LINES, REINFORCING SOME LINES OUT THERE, REPLACING SOME FAILING LINES. SO THERE IS WORK FOR WATER MAIN THROUGHOUT THAT AREA. IN FACT, WE ARE ALSO REPLACING THERE'S AN EIGHT INCH WATER MAIN THAT RUNS ALL THE WAY ALONG THE RAILROAD TRACKS THAT WAS ACTUALLY PUT IN AS A STEAM LINE. FOR THE RAILROAD IN THE 19 TWENTIES. WE'RE REPLACING THAT WITH A 12 INCH LINE, INCREASED PRESSURE ALL THE WAY ALONG THE WAR FIELD CORRIDOR ALSO, SO THERE ARE A LOT OF MOVING PARTS HERE. UM SO IN A NUTSHELL, THERE'S NOT A SINGLE BULLET THAT WE CAN THROW AT THIS TO FIX IT. IT'S KIND OF, UM, IT'S KIND OF A MIX OF A LOT OF PIECES AND MOVING PARTS.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE, UH, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A SINGLE SHORT TERM SOLUTION TO COMPLETELY FIX EVERYTHING UP THERE. EACH EACH THING THAT HAPPENS WILL REINFORCE US FURTHER. BUT AS FAR AS A FIRE PROTECTION STANDPOINT, REPLACING THE THREE HIGH SERVICE PUMPS WITH THREE NEW RELIABLE PUMPS, EACH ONE OF WHICH IS CAPABLE OF MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE VILLAGE. SO BY HAVING THREE OF THEM IF WE LOSE ONE, WE STILL HAVE THE ABILITY. TO MEET FIRE PROTECTION WITH A SET WITH A SECOND REDUNDANT PUMP. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFICATION. UM SO EVEN WITH THREE NEW PUMPS, THOUGH, THAT WILL NOT HELP THE FAIRGROUND SO THEY WILL JUST STILL BE. WE WOULD STILL BE JUST DOING POTABLE WATER. THEY WOULD STILL BE OUT OF. THE LOOP ON FIRE PROTECTION. THE FAIRGROUNDS IS SEVERAL MILES OUT ALONG A LONG DEAD IN LINE THE ORIGINAL LINE WAS PUT IN BY THE COUNTY TO SERVE TIME OR POWERS THEY ELECTED TO PAY FOR AN EIGHT INCH LINE. THE EIGHT INCH LINE. THE WATER MOVES TOO FAST, SO THE FRICTION IS SO MUCH THAT IT EATS UP ALL OF OUR PRESSURE BEFORE IT CAN GET THERE AT THE HIGHER FLOW RATES THAT FIRE PROTECTION WOULD DEMAND SO AT A LOW FLOW RATE, WE DON'T LOSE THE PRESSURES WE CAN PROVIDE THE POTABLE DEMANDS. WE COULDN'T MAKE IT WITH FIRE PROTECTION. WE COULDN'T MAKE IT AT TIMER POWERS PARK WHEN THE UTILITY. RAN THE LINE OUT TWO TIMER POWERS. WE COULD NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE WATER FOR FIRE PROTECTION. TWO TIMER POWERS, THE COUNTY ELECTED TO PUT A HYDRANT IN ANY WAY WITH A WRITTEN UNDERSTANDING THAT WE COULD NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE FIRE PROTECTION WITH THAT HYDRANT. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT WATER WAS SIMPLY FOR THE RESTROOMS. YES MA'AM. ALSO THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION ON THAT WEST END IN THAT LOOP. I JUST WENT LOOKING AT THAT MAP. I JUST SAW COMMERCIAL. I APPRECIATE KNOWING THAT IT DOES MORE THAN THAT IT IT DOES ALSO IMPACT BOOKER PARK AND THAT WEST FARM CORRIDOR. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. AND JUST TO ADD ON SOMETHING, UH. YOU KNOW THAT? THAT WAS ONE OF FOUR. WE ACTUALLY PLANNED ON LOOKING AT DOING A WATER AND SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT CITRUS. I THINK WE WERE CALLING IT THE CITRUS BOULEVARD.

Donation Policy Discussion

WELL I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF RESIDENTS CAME TO ME ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND ASKING ABOUT DONATIONS AND WHY THEY CAN'T GET DONATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO. THE WHOLE THING IS LIKE RIGHT NOW. AND THE TRUST FUND WE GOT MAYBE WHAT? $1500 1200 DOLLARS SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE. AND ALSO. I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR FOR PEOPLE TO COME HERE AND WE TURNED DOWN SOME AND SOME, WE DON'T. I FEEL LIKE IF WE JUST LEAVE IT TO THE COMMITTEE. TO MAKE THIS DECISION AT ONE POINT. THINK THAT WOULD BE BEST BECAUSE I WOULDN'T SAY EVERY OTHER MONTH WE GET SOMEONE REQUESTING FUNDS. AND WE REALLY FIRST OF ALL, WE DON'T HAVE THAT FUNDS TO JUST HAND OUT LIKE THAT. SO IF WE HAVE THE TRUST FUND TO HANDLE THAT, AND WHATEVER FUNDS IS IN THE TRUST ONE, THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD DISTRIBUTE. WHOEVER REQUESTED AT THAT POINT, OF COURSE IF THEY QUALIFY. SO THAT'S BASICALLY THE DISCUSSION ITEM.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE COUNCIL FEEL FIT FOR THAT. DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY OTHER. ON THIS

[01:50:05]

UM KEEP IN MIND THAT THAT ACTUALLY SPENDING THE MONEY. THAT IS YIELDED FROM THE INTEREST. YOU KNOW, THE. THE TRUST FUND PROCEEDS. IT'S SET UP IN THE TRUST DOCUMENT. TO BE DISTRIBUTED ON AN ANNUAL CYCLE. SO IT. AND THERE'S REALLY BECAUSE IT'S WE DON'T HAVE SOLE CONTROL OVER CONTROLLING THAT TRUST DOCUMENT. TECHNICALLY IT WAS FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT THAT SET UP THAT TRUST. THEY'RE THE ONES WHO WOULD CHANGE IT. WE'VE WE'VE MADE IT WORK IN THE PARAMETERS OF. THE VILLAGE HAVING CONTROL BECAUSE IT CONTEMPLATED THE MUNICIPALITY TAKING IT OVER. UM. BUT CERTAINLY WITH REGARD TO THE IDEA IF YOU WANTED TO SAY ALL RIGHT? RATHER THAN THE VILLAGE COUNCIL, INITIALLY EVALUATING EVERY REQUEST FOR A DONATION, HAVE THESE FOLKS WHO ALREADY DO THIS EVALUATED AND THEN MAYBE. COME WITH A RECOMMENDATION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE. I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE IT WAS STREAMLINE IT. TO THE POINT WHERE YOU KNOW, WE JUST DON'T IF SOMEBODY COMES UP, WE'RE LIKE, NO, WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY OR THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME WHEN THAT DECISION TECHNICALLY THAT COULD ALREADY BE MADE. THROUGH THE TRUST FROM THE COMMITTEE, OR WE COULD EVEN RENAMED THE SAME COMMITTEE. AND ALSO GIVE THEM A PURPOSE AND NOT JUST WAITING ONCE A YEAR. THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE WHOLE APPLICATION PROCESS. BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE A LOT OF THEM PROBABLY GET TIRED AND LIKE, OH, I FORGOT I WAS ON THAT COMMITTEE. YOU KNOW, SO IT WOULD GIVE THEM SOMETHING ELSE TO DO. OKAY SO MY QUESTION NOW THE TRUST FUND COMMITTEE BASICALLY MEET ONCE A YEAR. WHAT WERE ONCE SO YOU'RE DOING A FUND OF MORE THAN ONE TIME OF YEAR. SO WHAT WAITS AND IF WE. THE HOUSE. RIGHT WHEN THEY NEED MORE THAN WHAT THEY SHOULD BE NEEDING MORE AT ONE TIME, RIGHT? BACK UP, BUT YES. WHAT WHAT I WAS SAYING IS WHEN THEY'RE SPENDING MONEY OUT OF. THE TRUST FUND SET UP BY FBL YEARS AGO, THEN. THAT THEY'D MEET TO FUND ON AN ANNUAL CYCLE. THERE'S NO THERE'S NO REASON WHY AND AGAIN IT'S UP TO YOU, AS ALWAYS IS UP TO YOU ALL. UM THERE'S NO REASON YOU COULDN'T GIVE THOSE HUMAN BEINGS ON THAT COMMITTEE. AN ADDITIONAL DUTY OF HEY, ALSO, COULD YOU MAKE QUARTERLY AND EVALUATE ANY FUNDING, YOU KNOW, DONATION REQUESTS THAT COME IN OR WHATEVER. THAT'S WHERE I AM. IF IT'S OKAY WITH THE COUNCIL QUESTION, CUNT'S TAKING MONEY FROM A BUDGET. WELL HERE'S A QUESTION FOR YOU, WADE. I KNOW EARLIER, PROBABLY ABOUT MAYBE

[01:55:03]

IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE MORE. MONEY AND TROUBLE TO MANAGE IT AND SET IT UP. THEN IT'S WORTH AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE COMING IN. UM. IT MAY END UP JUST END UP BEING A PAPER 51 C THREE THAT DOESN'T DO MUCH. FOR YOU. SO MAYBE THE BEST TO JUST LEAVE IT TO THE COMMITTEE.

REALLY IN WHATEVER WE HAVE. WE JUST USE IT UP. IN IN WHAT I'M REFERRING TO, BY THE WAY WHEN I'M WHEN I'M TALKING ABOUT THE. THE ADDING ON THE ADDITIONAL DUTIES TO MEET QUARTERLY WHATEVER. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SPENDING THAT $1500. THAT'S THE. TRUST IS TO MAKE THE DECISION.

WELL, IT'S. YEAH I'M NOT. BUT I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE $59. I'M TALKING ABOUT. I'M TALKING ABOUT WHAT? THIS DONATION POLICY ALL APPROVED A WHILE AGO WAS TALKING ABOUT AND THAT'S DONATIONS FROM YOUR GENERAL FROM YOUR BUDGET FROM YOUR GENERAL FUND. OKAY? NOT NOT NECESSARILY BIG ONES. THAT'S WHEN YOU ALL WERE TALKING. YOU WERE TALKING SMALL AMOUNTS, BUT.

YOU CONTEMPLATED THE IDEA THAT FROM YOUR GENERAL FUND, YOU MAY MAKE DONATIONS TO CERTAIN ORGANIZATIONS FOR CERTAIN CAUSES OF WHAT HAPPENED. SO THAT IF THEY'RE MAKING DECISIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD HAVE YOU WITH REGARD TO THE MONEY. THAT IS THE INTEREST FROM THE $1 MILLION. THEY GOT TO DO IT THE WAY THE TRUST DOCUMENT SAYS, WHICH IS ON AN ANNUAL CYCLE. IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE MAKING OTHER DECISIONS ABOUT ANOTHER POT OF MONEY, IT'S WHATEVER RULES YOU SET AGAIN. THEY MIGHT JUST BE RECOMMENDATIONS, SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE MIGHT HAVE TO COME UP WITH A POLICY SAY. OKAY, FOR EXAMPLE. MAXIMUM IS $5000 PER ENTITY, OR $1000. WHATEVER THE CASE IS WHATEVER WE AGREED TO. WE JUST HAVE TO SET THE POLICIES IN PLACE. OH SO MY RATIONALE MY THINKING. BUDGET. WE JUST. PEOPLE IN THE. NOT IN THE TRUST FUND. WELL WE JUST WE JUST PUT IT IN A FUN THAT SEPARATE THAT SEPARATES FROM THE TOWN OF COMMUNITY TRUST FUND, BUT THOSE THINGS. RECOMMENDATIONS. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? WAIT. YEAH, HOWARD SAID. IF YOU PUT IF YOU MADE A BUDGET LINE THAT SAID, X DOLLARS, THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR THE TRUST FUND COMMITTEE, THE PEOPLE ON THE TRUST FUND COMMITTEE. UM TO EVALUATE APPLICATIONS PER YOUR PROCEDURE HERE. EVALUATE THEM AND THEN MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL ON IT. AND THEN YOU WILL MAKE A FINAL DECISION. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING L CAN DO. I LIKE IT. COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS. WAS GOING TO ASK THAT SAME CLARIFICATION AS TO YOU KNOW. COMING OUT OF OUR GENERAL FUND OR IF IT'S AND. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE IT'S APPROPRIATE THAT IT COMES OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND FOR THE STATEMENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL. STILL TRYING TO DO ROADS WORST. I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT WE AS A GOVERNMENT ENTITY. HAS BEEN TASKED. WHO SPEND TAXPAYER'S DOLLARS FOR RIGHT NOW. UM, THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHT. AND. I AGREE. I THINK

[02:00:05]

TO EVERYTHING TO WE RECEIVED IT AND. AND IT WAS SO WE HAVE ROADS AFFECTS WE HAVE PARKS TO FIX. WE HAVE EVERYTHING YOU CAN TALK ABOUT VILLAGE HALL. WE HAVE WE HAVE EVERYTHING THAT A NEW BUSINESS HAS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A NEW BUSINESS COMING TO TOWN. AND JUST UNLESS THEY'RE A CORPORATE ENTITY WITH A SMALL BUSINESS, STARTING UP, START GIVING OUT MONEY. 1ST 234 YEARS UM. BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU YOU'RE STARTING YOUR BUSINESS, SO I THINK THAT THIS DISCUSSION COULD BE DONE FOR A LATER TIME I AND WITH WHAT WE HAVE IN THE F P N L FUND WELL, WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT AND. 54 YEARS WHENEVER EXPIRES WHAT WE 222 YEARS WE HAVE TO START HAVING CONVERSATIONS TO SEE IF. OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING INTO TOWN. THE OTHER, UM COMPANIES THAT YOU KNOW IF THEY CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS SIMILAR OUT OF THEIR OWN HEARTS. AND WE CAN WOULD THAT BE A PROBLEM AND THEY THINK YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT OF THE DISCUSSION. POINT OF THE DISCUSSIONS IS NOT TO PUT THE FUNDS IN THE ACCOUNT. IT'S TOO PUT THE STREAMLINE IT.

BEFORE IT GETS TO US LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, IF SOMEBODY WANT TO ASK FOR MONEY TRUST FUND COMMITTEE WOULD BE ANOTHER COMPANY WHERE THEY WOULD BASICALLY SAY YES OR NO, BEFORE IT GETS TO US CATCHED UP POINT OF THE, UH YEAH, I UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF DISCUSSION, BUT THERE SHOULDN'T BE A DISCUSSION OF THAT POINT IF THERE'S NO MONEY. WHERE ARE YOU TAKING THE MONEY OUT OF. YOUR GENERAL FUND. KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? SO, BASICALLY, IF SOMEONE WANTS TO ASK US FOR MONEY, THEY WOULD STILL COME TO US. AND WE WOULD JUST SAY NO. SORRY. WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY. THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING FROM YOU. I'M NOT TRUE. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I'M JUST SAYING, WHY WAY SOMEONE'S TIME IF THEY HAVE TO GO FIRST TO THAT BOARD AND THEN. VERY GOOD. YOU'RE WELCOME. AND THEY KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO GET A NOTE HERE. THERE IS NO FUN. NO SET UP BUDGETARY FUND. BECAUSE WE GOTTA SET IT UP. WORK. IF IT WAS THE F B NL THAT THERE'S ALREADY MONEY BUDGETED. THERE'S OUR WHICH IS INTERESTS. BUT HERE WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET YOUR FUNDS FROM? SO THERE'S NO POINT OF SETTING. I UNDERSTAND WE CAN DO THAT IN THE FUTURE, BUT THERE IS NO MONEY RIGHT NOW. I DON'T THINK THE COUNCIL HAS. DETERMINE THAT CORRECT MR AND VILLAGE MANAGER. WE HAVEN'T. THIS IS JUST THAT'S WHY WE'RE DISCUSSING IT NOW, RIGHT? IT'S GREAT DISCUSSION. BUT IF THE COUNCIL HASN'T. YEAH, THE COUNCIL HASN'T SAID, UH. A DOLLAR AMOUNT SO THE DISCUSSION COULD BE DONE. ANOTHER DAY. OKAY? OKAY? THANK YOU.

COMPLIMENT STONE. MR VILLAGE MANAGER. DO YOU GUYS WANT TO PUT DONATION REQUESTS ON HOLD FOR NOW? YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IF SOMEONE WALKS INTO MY OFFICE IF SOMEONE WALKS IN IF SOMEONE WALKS INTO THE VILLAGE HALL AND MAKES AN APPLICATION. I'M LIKE DUTY BOUND TO BRING THIS TO THE COUNCIL PUT ON THE AGENDA. AND SO MAYBE MAYBE WE SHOULD. I MEAN, OKAY, THANKS, MARY CLARK.

AND SO THIS POLICY THAT WE HAVE WE DONE THAT POLICY THAT'S FLOATING AROUND HERE. DOES THIS HAVE ANY RELEVANCE TO THIS RIGHT HERE? BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED TO BE CLEAR. NIP THIS IN THE BUD. NOW WE NEED TO NIP THIS NOW. SO WITH THAT POLICY WEIGHT OR MR BROWN, UH, IF WE LAY THIS TO REST BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE TRANSPARENT WITH THE PUBLIC WHEN THEY COME AND ASK FOR MONEY, SO WITH THAT POLICY IN PLACE, AND WE'RE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION. I MEAN, YOU GUYS TELL US, UH, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS IT? JUST SAYING. RIGHT NOW THEY CAN APPLY TECHNICALLY BECAUSE HE ALLOWS THEM TO APPLY. SO IF THEY APPLY, MR BROWN IS OBLIGATED TO BRING IT TO US. SO ARE WE GOING TO PUT THAT ON? PAUSE AS WELL. SO THAT'S MR

[02:05:05]

SORRY VICE MAYOR, BUT THE ONLY THING I WOULD WE FIND WOULD BE. PROBABLY DOING WAVING THE PERMIT FEES. BUT THAT'S THE ONLY THING. BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING NOW WE'VE ALREADY YEAH, I WOULD JUST BRING THAT I WOULD JUST COME TO YOU. WHAT? SOMETHING LIKE THAT? YEAH, THAT'S THE ONLY THING BUT IF THEY WANT DOLLARS, LIKE CASH MONEY LIKE 15 $1500. WELL WE GOT TO. WE GOT TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT AND WHERE IT'S GOING TO COME OUT OF BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING TO COME OUT OF THE. TRUST FUND, AND THERE'S NO MONEY THERE. WELL, LET'S BACK UP. SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS DONATION POLICY, WHO ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE PUBLIC ARE PARTNERS. WE NEED. YEAH, I NEED TO BE A LITTLE MORE CLEAR, MR. JUST ANY ANY ANY NON GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION. UM THAT, UM. THAT WANTS MONEY FROM THE VILLAGE. OKAY SO WHAT ABOUT US? SITTING ON BOARDS OF ENTITIES IF YOU SIT ON A BOARD IF YOU SIT ON IF ONE THE COUNCIL MEMBERS SIT ON A BOARD OR THERE ARE DIRECTOR OR. OR THEY'RE AN EMPLOYEE WEEK WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONSIDER THAT REQUEST BECAUSE THE POLICY WILL PROHIBIT. BUS FROM RECEIVING THE REQUEST. SO I THOUGHT WE WAS RECUSED MYSELF FROM THE VOTE, SO WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN THIS IN THIS POLICY DONATION THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S NOT IN THE COURT. THAT PROBABLY, UH, NEEDS TO BE A MAN BECAUSE WE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN HERE THAT SITS ON BOARD. AND THAT MEANS A LOT OF PEOPLE WON'T BE GETTING NO MONEY. UH, I'M JUST SAYING. AM I CORRECT OR NOT? IF WE SIT ON THE BOARD, YOU'RE YOU'RE CORRECT. BUT REMEMBER, WE'VE ONLY BEEN THE DONATION POLICY BUSINESS, MAYBE SIX MONTHS OR SEVEN MONTHS. SO WE WE'VE. OBVIOUSLY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE SET ON BOARDS BEFORE WE ADOPTED THIS POLICY.

THAT DID NOT APPLY AT THAT TIME. BUT NOW WE'RE JUST A NEW NEW. UM. WE'RE IN A DIFFERENT WATER. WE'RE IN DIFFERENT WATER NAIL. COME I DON'T KNOW. I THINK WE PROBABLY NEED TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT COUNCILMAN STONE YEAH, SO BASICALLY. THAT KIND OF GOES BACK TO THE WHOLE CONVERSATION AGAIN. RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE A POLICY THAT ALLOWS THE PUBLIC OR NONE FOR PROFIT TO APPLAUD. FOR THESE GRANTS OR FUNDS. SO WE NEED TO AMEND THE POLICY OR WE NEED TO PUT IT ON PAUSE WHERE. BECAUSE THERE IS NO POINT OF SOMEONE BEING ABLE TO FILL OUT THE APPLICATION. IF WE'RE JUST GOING TO SAY, HEY, WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY ANYWAYS. SO THAT'S EXACTLY ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THIS ITEM IS ON THERE FOR US TO DISCUSS IT TO MAKE SENSE OUT OF IT, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW. WE'RE TELLING THE PUBLIC THAT HATE APPLY FOR THE MONEY, BUT WE'RE SAYING WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, SO DON'T APPLY. SO WHICH IS IT? BUT YOU SAID MR STOLEN THERE.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WHO WAS GOING TO DETERMINE THAT. THAT WAS HOW I WAS THINKING I WAS TRYING TO SAY THIS DONATION POLICY DISCUSSION NEEDS IS. TO. ACTUALLY IT HAS LIKE THREE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS. IT'S WHO. CURRENTLY THEY COME TO US. PUBLICLY AND REQUEST US, SO THEY SEND US AN EMAIL OR SUBMIT AN AGENDA ITEM AND WE THEY COME HERE PRESENT THEIR ITEM. AND WE SAY THEY ARE. YEAH RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. WE'RE GOING TO SAY NAY, REGARDLESS, SO WHY NOT JUST DON'T ALLOW THEM TO DO IT BECAUSE MISTER BROWN THAT'S EXTRA WORK FOR HIM. THAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BRING THAT ITEM TO US. TELL US WHAT IS GOING ON. AND WE'RE JUST GONNA SAY NO. SO WHY BOTHER? PUT HIM THROUGH THAT SITUATION? DO. WITH THIS. I'M HAPPY TO DO IT. I MEAN, JUST YOU KNOW, I KNOW, BUT IT'S A WASTE OF TIME. IT IS A WASTE OF TIME, BECAUSE IF HE JUST TELLS THEM APPLY. AND GO AND WE'RE GOING TO TELL THEM. NO, WE DON'T HAVE MONEY. SO JUST STOP IT. SO SHOULD THE POLICY BE AMENDED TO PART BUSINESS PARTNERS. I MEAN PEOPLE LIKE THE BBD. WELL, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BUSINESS PARTNERS BECAUSE

[02:10:01]

THREE VOTES. SAY DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I WOULD JUST. JUST TELL PEOPLE WHEN THEY COME TO THE FRONT DOOR THAT WE'RE NOT ACCEPTING ANY REQUEST AT THIS TIME, RIGHT? SO DO I WHOLE WE NEED CAN WE BRING THIS TO OUR NEXT AGENDA? BECAUSE I THINK YOU'RE SPLIT RIGHT NOW. AND MAYBE I DO. I HAVE A CONSENSUS OF BRINGING THIS AS A MORATORIUM. YEAH, YEAH, I. I'M SO SORRY. MARY DIDN'T BE INTERRUPTED. NO, I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A CONSENSUS OF BRINGING IT AS A MORATORIUM TURNED NEXT TO YEAH, YOU YOU DO NOT. YOU DON'T NEED TO BRING IT BACK TO ANOTHER MEETING. THIS IS THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO PASS A MORATORIUM ORDINANCE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU ALL JUST YOU ALL JUST SAY IT. THIS IS JUST A POLICY AND IT'S JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE NO, THANK THANK YOU FOR THINKING ABOUT IT, BUT UH, NO. YOU'RE JUST TELLING STAFF. VILLAGE COUNCIL SAYS DON'T ACCEPT THESE ANYMORE. YOU KNOW THAT THE TELLERS CLOSED FOR RIGHT NOW. NO, JUST I THINK I CAN. UH WE JUST GAVE CONSENSUS. YEAH IF STAFF KNOW IF HOWARD FEELS GOOD, HE'S GOT DIRECTION. HE'S GOT DIRECTIONS SO OKAY? AND THAT INCLUDES ALSO LIKE THIEVES. NO I THINK IT'S DIFFERENT. I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY FUN MONEY MONEY. CAN SERVICE WE STILL SHOULD DO IN KIND. THAT'S ABSOLUTE NON MONTH. NON MONETARY GRANTS, BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY SPELL OUT WHAT THEY ARE. MM. SAYS NON MONETARY MATERIALS. RESOURCES MUNICIPAL PROPERTY. SYLVIE, SO. THAT COULD BE THAT COULD ALSO BE USED IN THE PARKS. FOR LIKE, IN KIND, RIGHT RIGHT. THAT COULD ALSO BE INTERPRETED BY THE PARK'S SOLD. SO MAYBE WE MAYBE WE DO THIS IN KIND. MAYBE MAYBE WE'RE NOT WE MADE WE MADE. WE DON'T ACCEPT ANY. REQUESTS FOR MONEY, RIGHT? AND THEN I WILL COME BACK TO YOU. WHEN SOMEONE SAYS I WANT TO USE THE PARK. I WANT TO USE THE FIVE POINT ACRES TO DO A CARNIVAL. I WANT TO USE THE PARK TO DO CORRECT.

I WANT THE SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT. FEES WHERE I'LL JUST COME BACKWARDS. CHRISTMAS PARADE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THIS KEEPS ON COMING ON AGENDA. IT'S NEVER GOING TO GO ANYWHERE. WE AIN'T THERE. YEAH, YEAH. SO YOU GOT IT MUST HAVE VILLAGE RUN. THINK I DO. LIKE I DO. YOU GOT CONSENSUS. SO IF TOMORROW SOMEONE WALKS INTO THAT DOOR, MR VILLAGE GRANDER. WHAT WILL YOU BE SAYING? I'LL JUST TELL THEM THAT WE'RE NOT ACCEPTING ANY MONETARY OKAY, EXCEPT I JUST NEEDED TO MAKE SURE MR VILLAGE MANAGER. I DON'T NUMBER 10. YES, ITEM NUMBER 10 IS, UH,

[10.  

Creation of Special Event Policies and Procedures.

PERIOD, SO BUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IS. WE? WE DON'T HAVE A REAL REALLY GOOD PROCESS TO, YOU KNOW, BRING EVERYBODY, UM. TO THE TABLE LIKE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS, AND SO WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING. I'VE LOOKED AT SOME CITIES OR MUNICIPALITIES THAT ACTUALLY DO THIS MORE THAN WE DO, AND THERE ARE SOME. THERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OUT THERE THAT I THINK THAT WE COULD LEARN FROM THE UM. YOU KNOW, WE OBVIOUSLY WE ESTABLISH FEES FOR SPECIAL EVENTS, AND WE'VE MADE IT SUCH THAT IT MAKES SENSE FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THOSE TYPE OF THINGS, BUT WE REALLY NEED A.

MORE COORDINATED PROCESS. SO WHEN SOMEONE WALKS IN THAT. THEY KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S GOING

[02:15:03]

UH AND IT'S OUR FOLLOW THAT IT IS OUR FAULT. YEAH. RIGHT? RIGHT? RIGHT? DANCING THAT WAS MADE WELL. CANDY, SIR. RIGHT? RIGHT, OKAY. I MEAN, I'M ASSUMING THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ALCOHOL, THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SECURITY GUARD. JUST LIKE AT THE CIVIC CENTER. ALL OF ALL OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS TRUE. OKAY AND SO WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS GET A PROCESS TOGETHER THAT OUTLINES ALL OF THAT. YOU KNOW, LIKE, LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A REALLY SUCCESSFUL EVENT. UH THE SWAMP FIST. UM YOU KNOW, I'M GLAD NO ONE WAS HURT OR HAD A HEART ATTACK OR SOME, YOU KNOW, SOME TYPE OF MEDICAL ISSUE. YOU KNOW, IT COULD HAVE. CREATED ANOTHER PROBLEM. SO, UM YEAH. YEAH. COUNCILS. CAN'T A WOMAN GIVES THOMAS OKAY? UM, THANK YOU. HEARD A COUPLE OF THINGS THERE. DO WE HAVE SIGNS AT THE PARK THAT SAYS. ALCOHOL IS PROHIBITED. WE DO WE DO. UM AND. YOU KNOW MOST MOST PARKS HAVE SIGNS THAT SAY EXACTLY THAT LANGUAGE. AND WE HAVE THAT WE DO, BUT THEN YOU GET PERMITS THAT YOU KNOW, UH. EXEMPT YOU FROM AROUND THOSE EVERYDAY REQUIREMENTS. AND, UM OKAY, OKAY. AND I AGREE. I'M JUST THINKING THIS SPECIFIC EVENT. AND EVEN NOT THIS EVENT. UM PEOPLE GET. SIX PACK OF BEER AND GO SIT IN THE PARK AND DRINK IT. THEY WEREN'T THEY WERE NOT SELLING, AT LEAST NOT THAT I AM AWARE OF. THEY WEREN'T SELLING, BEER AND WINE THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TO GET THE YOU KNOW A T F OR WHOEVER? YEAH. AGREEMENT FOR BUT SO SOMEBODY YOU KNOW THIS EVENTS GOING ON THEY GO TO 7 11. THEY GRAB HIM A CASE OF BEER AND THEY GO AND SIT IN THE PARK AND WATCH EVERYBODY AND DRINK THEIR BARE. BECAUSE IT SAYS NO ALCOHOL. WE WOULDN'T. I MEAN, IF THAT'S JUST THE POLICY WOULDN'T THE SHERIFF IN FORCE THAT YEAH, I THINK THE SHARE COULD COULD ENFORCE. UM, OPEN CONTAINER. UM. BUT THAT DOESN'T VIOLATIONS. THAT'S A STATE LAW.

YEAH. OPEN CONTAINERS PUBLIC. UH YEAH, WELL, THAT'S RESORT. WE NEED TO FOLLOW LOCAL IT ALWAYS WAS. WITH THE HELICOPTER. SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED REASON. YEAH, THEY THEY WERE AROUND, BUT, YEAH, THERE WAS NOT, BUT THE THING OF IT IS, IS THEY WERE NOT SELLING ALCOHOL THEY WERE NOT PERMITTED PER PERMITTED. TO SELL ALCOHOL. SO WHOEVER SITTING IN THAT PARK DRINKING ALCOHOL DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE EVENT. THEY JUST THERE. THEY BROUGHT THEIR CASE OF BEER. THEY'RE JUST THEY'RE THEY'RE SITTING THERE DRINKING WHATEVER. WELL THAT'S NOT THE POINT OF NETWORKING, BUT EXACTLY SOMEBODY SITTING THERE DRINKING A BEER. IT'S A BOOK POINT IS YOU HAVE AN EVENT YOU NEED TO HAVE POLICIES IN PLACE SO PEOPLE CAN FOLLOW THE RULES. AND THE SHERIFF CAN DO THEIR JOB. WELL FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, WE NOT TO CONTROL HERE. SURE, UM, THERE IS A TOBACCO PLACE. TIME AND THEY

[02:20:11]

PROVISIONS THAT ARE IN THERE, ACTUALLY, IN RLD. OURS IS WHERE, WHERE SOME OF THAT'S LAID OUT AND THEN REMEMBER WITH REGARD TO OUR REGULAR CODE OF ORDINANCES. WE'VE GOT SUBSTANTIAL PARTS OF THE MARTIN COUNTY CODE THAT ARE STILL OURS. SO I WAS LOOKING AT THE MARTIN COUNTY CODE ON THIS EXACT THING IN PARKS. AND, UM. ACTUALLY WEIRD HOW IT'S PHRASED. IT ACTUALLY STARTS WITH CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ALLOWED UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, BUT THEN IT ZEROS DOWN INTO ALMOST NOTHING YOU CAN ONLY CONSUME IN, UM IN PARK. UH, WHEN A PERMIT HAS BEEN ISSUED. OKAY, SO AGAIN, IT CIRCLES BACK TO THIS AND. IT WOULD BE WORTHWHILE TO DRILL DOWN AND YOU KNOW WHAT WAS. WHAT WAS THE THOUGHT? PROCESS GOING? DEBT GOING ON? THE DEPUTY SAID. WHAT WAS HE EVALUATED? WHY DIDN'T HE THINK HE COULDN'T ENFORCE IT? BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS AND THE FACTS I'VE HEARD HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS MORE OF. OH, BLAME YOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS. YEAH THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE BECAUSE OF THAT. WELL NOW AND I UNDERSTAND DOING POLICY AND BRINGING EVERYBODY TO THE TABLE. SO THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT KNOWS. SO ONCE THEY SAT AT THE TABLE GOING THROUGH THIS SPECIAL PERMIT, THEY KNOW, OKAY. THEY DON'T HAVE A PERMIT FOR ALCOHOL, SO ANYBODY THAT IS HAS SEEN IN THE PARK WITH ALCOHOL WE CAN ENFORCE. SO YEAH, IT IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO PUT THOSE POLICIES IN PLACE. SO YOU HAVE EVERYBODY COME TO THE TABLE, SO EVERYBODY IS AWARE. LIKE YOU SAID. YOU KNOW THE SHERIFF AND WHOEVER YET ELSE ABSOLUTELY. I WOULD GET THE FIRE DEPARTMENT INVOLVED TO KNOW IT WOULD BE. IT WOULD BE EVERYONE. UH, THAT SHOULD BE AT THE TABLE WHEN WE REVIEW OR EVALUATE THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMITS AT LEAST THAT WAY. EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT WHAT? WHAT SORT OF RESOURCES SHOULD BE AT THE TABLE? YOU KNOW, IF SOMEONE SAYS I'M GOING TO HAVE 500 PEOPLE. SOMEBODY IN PUBLIC WORK SHOULD SAY YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TWO BATHROOMS FOR EVERY 100 PEOPLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW, AND THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE JUST NEED TO FINE TUNE. AND LIKE AND LIKE WE SPOKE ABOUT I THINK ONE PERMIT THAT SOMEBODY'S JUST CHECKING OFF THE APPROPRIATE BOX, AND IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHICH BOX THEY CHECK OFF. WHAT PROCESS YOU KNOW KICKS IN THAT IF IT'S JUST A BIRTHDAY PARTY YOU DON'T NEED, YOU KNOW, SPECIAL. YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T NEED TO SIT DOWN WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OR THE YOU KNOW, OR THE FIRE, YOU KNOW DEPARTMENT. BUT IF THEY CHECK OFF 500 PEOPLE WELL, THEN THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT PROCESS. BUT I THINK 11. ONE FORM. JUST I THINK SHOULD DO IT, YOU KNOW, TRY TO KEEP IT SLIMMING. PRICE AS PROCESS AS YOU CAN. AND LOOKING AT THE APPLICATION. BECAUSE WE WERE SENT THE APPLICATION LIABILITY INSURANCE. I KNOW THE COUNTY DOES REQUIRE. PERSON OR AN ORGANIZATION. TO GET LIABILITY INSURANCE IS EVERY TIME I GET THE PARKS FOR MY CHURCH. IT'S. IT'S YEAH, AND SO YOU KNOW, OUR SPECIAL EVENTS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. AND SO WE'VE BEEN SAYING THAT IF THEY'RE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, THEN. IT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUT THE PARK WAS IN PRIVATE

[02:25:02]

ARE TALKING WORK PROTECTING TAXPAYER MONEY. I DON'T THINK TAXPAYER MONEY ONE. I AGREE. I AGREE. WELL THE PEOPLE WE NEED SOME BACKUP. YES. TRANSFER. NO THEY THEY CONSUME, BUT JUST THAT WE NEED TO PROTECT. OUR TAXPAYER MONEY. I AGREE. LET ME LET ME WE WERE ELECTED TUDE. DO THAT IN MANY OF THE OTHER THING. OH MAYOR, I AGREE WITH YOU. 100% CAN WE GET ALBY TALK ABOUT THAT? BECAUSE I KNOW HERE'S WHAT I DO KNOW. IT. YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE, A LADY CAME TO MY OFFICE AND SHE TALKED TO ME ABOUT INSURANCE. OKAY. LIKE HOW MUCH YOU KNOW INSURANCE SHE NEEDED. AND SHE WENT TO A PLACE AND THE FOLKS TOLD HER THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST YOU KNOW. $1200 TO HAVE LIKE, UH, AN EVENT IF THESE FOLKS GO TO THE WRONG PLACE TO TRY TO GO GET THIS INSURANCE. YOU KNOW, IT'S BETWEEN $100. AND $1200. AND SO YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE FOR ALBIE TO TALK ABOUT IF HE'S GOT SOME BACKGROUND ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. OH, ESPECIALLY WITH THE MAGNITUDE OF IMAGINE THERE'S A LOT OF, UH, OTHER EVENTS THAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE SAME MAGNITUDE AND. UH THE INSURANCE BUT ADDITIONALLY TO THAT BOUNCING HOUSES, THE COUNTY DOESN'T PERMIT THOSE. THE COUNTY. I HAD SOME I HAD I HAD A RESIDENT. CONTACT ME AND ASK ME IF I CAN HELP THEM WITH THE COUNTY AND I'M LIKE, I CAN'T DO THAT. THAT'S NOT MY JURISDICTION. BUT. WHERE I WORK AT. WE DON'T PERMIT BOUNCING HOUSES BECAUSE THE LIABILITY ISSUE. WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GOING TO GET THE LIABILITY BECAUSE THAT'S WAY IT'S OFFICER. BUT BUT HERE'S ONE HERE'S ONE TO SAY WHEN WE SAY THAT WORK LIABILITY SOMETIMES THAT COULD JUST BE. I DON'T WANT TO DO IT. OKAY I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S APPROPRIATE IN A IF WE BOUNCE HOUSE IS APPROPRIATE IN A PARK OR NOT. I MEAN, THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING FOR HELP YOU TO KIND OF SEE IF HE'S GOT SOME IDEA OF. IF YOU SEE THAT OR NOT, YOU KNOW, I KNOW EVERYBODY'S GOT BOUNCE HOUSES. I SEE HIM. THERE YOU GO. YOU GO TO A KID'S BIRTHDAY PARTY. THERE'S A BOUNCE HOUSE WHEN SOMEBODY'S PROBABLY PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, UM SO THAT'S YOUR PROPERTY, PRIVATE PROPERTY. THEY CAN'T SUE ME. I'M JUST TRYING TO DO SOME OF THE STUFF. MHM. GET. I KNOW I KNOW AT TIME OR POWER PARK IF YOU IF YOU RENT ONE OF THE LITTLE HUTS OR WHATEVER. YEAH. PAVILION UP TO A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEOPLE. I GUESS THEIR INSURANCE. YOU DON'T NEED A LIABLE LIABLE, UH, LIABILITY INSURANCE. YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE A CERTIFICATE, BUT. THESE LARGER EVENTS YOU DO? I GET THAT SO MY QUESTION IS THE SMALLER EVENTS. YOU KNOW, WE RAN OUT PAVILION FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY. DOES OUR INSURANCE COVER. I DON'T KNOW THAT QUICKLY. YEAH, OKAY AND AGAIN. OUR INSURANCE. ORANGE INSURANCE IS GOING TO COVER. ROUGHLY EVENTS LARGE AND SMALL IN THE PARK. THE THING WHAT WE DON'T WANT IS WE WANT TO HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE'S INSURANCE ON THE HOOK FOR IT, OKAY? AND SO I WILL TELL, YOU KNOW, IMAGINE ALBY MIGHT SPEAK TO SOMETHING SIMILAR. WHAT I'VE SEEN IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS IS WITH REGARD TO SMALLER EVENTS. I MEAN, IF I WAS GOING TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY PARTY AT, YOU KNOW, WITH. 20 PEOPLE THERE AT A PARK. I WOULDN'T WANT TO GO GET INSURANCE FOR THAT, BUT FOR IT TYPICALLY SEE IT EVENTS OVER A CERTAIN SIZE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE GETTING INTO NOT THE TECHNICAL POSSIBILITY OF EXPOSURE. EVERY TIME SOMEBODY WALKS INTO THE PARK, THEY COULD TRIP ON SOMETHING. AND THEN WHATEVER.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A LARGER EVENT WHEN YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL. ISSUES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO MANAGE THROUGH A SPECIAL EVENTS PROCESS ANYWAY, SIR. MHM. THAT'S CREATING. HOW'S EVERYBODY. UM, AN ANSWER TO THE INSURANCE QUESTION. UM GENERALLY, IT'S BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE EVENT.

UH THE MAGNITUDE OF THE EVENT AND WHAT IS AT THE EVENT. USUALLY EVENTS WITH LIVE MUSIC.

UM. CARNIVAL RIDES. UM. BOUNCE HOUSES, PONY RIDES, UM, FIREWORK SHOWS THINGS LIKE

[02:30:10]

EVENTS HAVE HAVE DIFFERENT, UH, LEVELS. UM. IN OUR SPECIAL EVENT APPLICATION. WE DO ADDRESS THE ALCOHOL. UM WE DO ADDRESS, UM, SPECIAL DETAILS, SHERIFF. OFFICERS FIREMEN, UM YEAH. INSURANCE AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND IT DOES SAY IN THE APPLICATION THAT IT HAS TO ASK YOUR QUESTION. ARE YOU GOING TO SERVE ALCOHOL AND THE AND THE ANSWER IS YES OR NO. AND IF IT'S YES, THAT IT SAYS RIGHT UNDERNEATH THAT, THAT SECTION THAT THEY NEED TO CONTACT THE ALCOHOL, TOBACCO FIREARMS. UM. OFFICE IN FORT PEERS TO GET A, UH IT'S CALLED THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT, UM, FOR THEIR EVENT, AND TECHNICALLY, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO. HAVE A AN AREA.

ROPED OFF CAN STOP BARRICADED CURED. UM THAT IS ACTUALLY THE CONSUMPTION AREA BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO WALK AROUND THE PARK. THE EVENT WITH OPEN CONTAINERS. SO YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN WE CAN CLEAN UP. THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE, HOWEVER, IS ON THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT. WHICH. DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE A COPY IN FRONT OF YOU, BUT IT DOES ASK ALL OF THIS SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND WHEN I TAKE A PERMIT APPLICATION AT THE PARK'S OFFICE, I SIT WITH THE APPLICANT AND I GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PERMIT WITH HIM. AND ASK THEM QUESTIONS AND I'LL GIVE YOU JUST AN EXAMPLE OF THE INFORMATION I GOT ON THE SWAMP HOMECOMING TO THAT, AND THAT WAS UM. ESTIMATED NUMBER OF ATTENDEES. 200. IT WAS PROBABLY CLOSER TO 2000. THE EVENT WAS MUCH BIGGER AND IN MUCH MORE INTENSE AND HAD MUCH MORE IMPACT. UM. ON OUR STREETS IN OUR PARKS ON OUR RESTROOMS ARE FACILITIES THEN. WOULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN I SHOWED UP. UH, WAS A LITTLE BIT, UH, SURPRISED, UM. THE OTHER THING IS WITH OUR PARKS, UM, ESPECIALLY AT BOOKER PARK. OUR

[02:35:08]

UM SO MY RECOMMENDATION LIVING FORWARD IS THAT IF THERE'S GOING TO BE AN EVENT, UH OF ANY SIZE SHORT OF A BIRTHDAY PARTY IN THE CIVILIAN. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BRING IN PORTAL ACT.

UM FOR THAT EVENT BECAUSE. WAS I SPENT TWO DAYS UNCLOGGING THE TOILETS, UH, 5 TO 6 TIMES IN THE IN AN EIGHT HOUR DAY, AND IT JUST NEVER ENDED. SO IT WAS. IT WAS A LITTLE BIT INTENSE, YOU KNOW, WITH WHAT WAS GOING ON OUT THERE AND JUST TRYING TO KEEP UP UM. SO, UM, WE CAN DEFINITELY MAKE IT BETTER. AS HOWARD SAID, YOU KNOW, HE'S GOT SOME EXAMPLES OF OTHER MUNICIPALITIES OR CITIES OR COUNTIES, UM, SPECIAL EVENT PROCESS. THE CITY OF STEWART HAS A PROCESS WHICH GIVES YOU A LOT OF DETAIL THAT GOES WITH THE APPLICATION AND WE ACTUALLY MODELED OUR APPLICATION AFTER THE CITY OF STEWART, SO ALL OF OUR INFORMATION IS THE SAME AS AS THE CITY OF STEWART USES FOR THEIRS. THEY ONLY DIFFERENCES IS. THIS CITY HAS ALL THE IN HOUSE SERVICES, UM AS CITY DEPARTMENTS, THE POLICE TO FIRE UM, PUBLIC WORKS, PARKS AND RECREATION. UM. DEVELOPMENT UM AT ALL OF THOSE, UM, DEPARTMENTS THAT CAN THAT REVIEW THE APPLICATIONS OF WEIGH IN ON ON WHAT'S NEEDED AND WE'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S NEEDED SO. THERE ARE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. THERE'S RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT GO WITH, UM, A STREET CLOSURE. UM GET AN ALCOHOL PERMIT. UM. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AT THE EVENT, THE SHERIFF SHOULD SHOULD BE ABLE TO WEIGH IN AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU KNOW IF THERE'S 200 PEOPLE AT THE EVENT, THEY MAY NEED ONE SPECIAL DUTY OFFICER. IF THERE'S 500, WE NEED TO THERE'S ALCOHOL THEY MAY NEED FOR, SO YOU KNOW, THEY SHOULD BE MAKING THOSE DECISIONS. UM, BECAUSE WE CAN'T AND WE CAN'T REALLY, YOU KNOW, PUT THAT ON THE APPLICANT. UM.

BUT THE SHERIFF COULD SO. I THINK WE CAN. I THINK WE'VE LEARNED A LOT WITH THAT WITH THE EVENTS, AND HOWARD SAID THEY ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. UM PEOPLE ARE RESERVING OUR PARKS MORE. THEY'RE COMING OUT. YOU KNOW WE'RE COMING OUT OF COVID. LAST YEAR, SO YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE ARE LOOKING TO CELEBRATE AND HAVE MORE, YOU KNOW ACTIVITIES.

UM, OUTSIDE WITH THE PUBLIC BENEFIT. UM THAT DRAWS PEOPLE AND FROM THEIR COMMUNITY AND THOSE ARE ALL GOOD THINGS TO HAVE. UM BUT WE DO NEED THE RESOURCES. THE STAFF AND THE AND THE SUPPORT TO MANAGE THOSE. EVENTS BETTER. SO LET ME COME BACK. FOR THE COUNCIL ON THIS IF THAT'S OKAY, UH, I'D LIKE TO JUST I LOOKED AT THE CITY OF SOUTH BAY. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE SIMILAR IN TERMS OF HOW THEY ADMINISTER BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE THEY USE THEY USE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. YOU KNOW, AND SO THERE WAS WHEN I LOOKED AT WHAT THEY DO. IT'S NOT ONEROUS. IT'S VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD. IT REQUIRES THE COUNCIL TO APPROVE SPECIAL EVENTS PERMITS. UM SO. YOU KNOW WHEN WE GET WHEN WE GET ONE OF THESE APPLICATIONS IN IT HAD TO COME TO THE COUNCIL TO BE APPROVED. AND SO WHAT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION ON IT. ME TO MEET PRIVATE PROPERTY OR ANYTHING. IT'S JUST. ANY TIME YOU'RE BRINGING THAT MANY PEOPLE TO A LOCATION, IT REQUIRES A SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT. ONLY PRIVATE RYAN. YES THEY SHOULD HAVE. YES YES, MA'AM. YES MA'AM, CHANCES ARE GOING TO HAVE ROAD CLOSURE AND ALL THAT STUFF. YEAH I MEAN, I THINK I THINK THERE'S SOME CONFUSION BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN AN INTERPRETATION. LEE, SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE THAT IF IT'S ONLY YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET A SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT AND MARTIN COUNTY. AND UM, I THINK THAT IT'S BEEN THE PRACTICE HERE. THAT'S THAT'S BEEN THE PRACTICE. RIGHT. EVERYBODY WAS JUST GOING WITH THE NO. YEAH. COUNCILWOMAN THOMAS. OKAY YOU TALK A SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT EVEN ON YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY. SO IF I HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR MY ONE YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE GONE DOLLARS. MASTER LET'S NOT START ANY RUMORS. OKAY UM, ALWAYS INSANE. YEAH. NO, I'M JUST JUST FOR INSTANCE. OKAY SO I HAVE, YOU KNOW, A BIRTHDAY PARTY THAT HAVE YOU KNOW 20 PEOPLE SHOW UP. DOES THAT

[02:40:06]

IT'S IN THE RIVER. SO THEY'RE GOING TO THE COUNTY TO RENT THAT FACILITY AND THEN THEY HAVE TO COME UP TO US. JUST LIKE IN ORDER TO GET A PERMIT TO DO. SO IT'S SO THEY'RE GETTING HIT TWICE, YOU KNOW? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT PARTICULAR INSTANCE IS AFRICA HERE, BUT I THINK IF THEY WERE DOING BUILDING PERMIT ACTIVITY OUT THERE THAT WOULD BE EVENT PERMIT BUT THERE BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE DO REGULARLY ON PROPER. HERE'S THE THING. IT WAS PROBABLY PAY THE PARK FEES TO THE COUNTY. BUT THEY STILL HAVE TO GET A PERMIT TO DO IT IN THE VILLAGE. I MEAN, IT'S INSIDE THE BILL. I THINK, WHAT WE GET WEAR THEM BACK OUT THERE RIGHT ON AN IMPRESSION THAT THAT IS THE COUNTY BAR AND WHEN THEY CALL FOR MARK I'LL TELL YOU GO TO THE CABINET BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW ON THE PART. THAT'S WHY WE'RE DISCUSSING IT RIGHT NOW. I'M JUST SAYING, WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'VE NEVER DO YOU HAVE ANYBODY? HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANYBODY? AND HE DIDN'T DIDN'T ALREADY. MHM. OKAY, WE HAVE IT THIS IS WELL WELL, THAT'S REALLY THAT'S WHY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT. BECAUSE THIS IS ALL NEW. WE'VE BEEN A MS PALLEY THREE SECONDS, OKAY? MHM AND SO THE COUNTY WAS THE GOVERNMENT IN THE VILLAGE, AND SO A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON BECAUSE OF PRACTICE, AND SO. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO THINK THROUGH THE TRANSACTION BECAUSE NOW I KNOW I JUST SAID THAT WE WOULD REGULATE SPECIAL EVENTS IN THE VILLAGE. AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE OUR OWN AUTHORITY. BUT THEN THE MORE AND MORE I THINK ABOUT IT IS WELL. IF THEY IF THEY IF THEY GOT TO GET A PERMISSION TO USE THE PARK AT THE COUNTY. SHOULD WE SHOULD WE.

IT REQUIRED THEM TO GET ESPECIALLY ITS PERMIT IN THE VILLAGE. NOT AND I'M NOT SURE.

WELL THAT'S SOMETHING WE PROBABLY HAVE TO PARTNER WITH. YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK INTO. AND THINK ABOUT. ALL RIGHT. SO LET ME ASK A QUESTION, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE AS A AS A PRACTICAL MATTER. I WOULD TELL YOU PURELY THEORETICALLY LOOKING AT RLD OURS. ALRIGHT COMPLETELY BLIND TO WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENED, I'LL TELL YOU LEGALLY. YEAH. YOU GOT A COUNTY PARK, SITTING WITHIN A MUNICIPALITY. YOU HAVE A SPECIAL YOU HAVE A SPECIAL EVENT WOULD BE THE MUNICIPALITY THEIR ISSUES SPECIAL EVENT. WE CAN'T RENT OUT THEIR PARK, RIGHT? WE DON'T OWN THEIR PART. OKAY, SO YOU GO TO THE COUNTY.

[02:45:01]

THAT'S ALL THEORY IN PRACTICE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON, OKAY? THAT IS HAVE WE ISSUED? HAVE WE RECEIVED WHEN THE RODEO RECEIVED APPLICATIONS IN ISSUED SPECIAL EVENTS PERMITS FOR EVENTS AT TIME OF PARIS PARK? OKAY, SO, YES, WE HAVE. OKAY, SO THE HORSE SHOWS THAT THEY DO DURING THE WINTER OR HAVE THEY HAVE THEY BEEN COMING TO US? THE HORSE SHOWS.

NO. SAY, WELL, WELL ONLY WHICH. YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO FIND OUT BECAUSE WHAT WERE WE ON THE TABLE? WELL, WE KNOW WE KNOW WE DIDN'T ISSUE PERMIT TO THE RODEO. AND SO, UH, AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE WE. WELL. THERE WAS AN EVENT THIS PAST WEEKEND AT TIMER POWERS, AND IT WENT ON. I STEPPED OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE AND I COULD HEAR THAT MUSIC AND IT WAS MIDNIGHT. MM. I DON'T KNOW IF SOME BIRTHDAY PARTY IT. THAT'S WHAT I SAW SOMEBODY AND THEN SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY WITH A HORSE WENT OUT THERE THE NEXT MORNING AND SAID THAT THEY WERE SCREWS ALL OVER THE, BUT THAT'S NOT OUR ISSUE. BUT BUT BUT THE SOUND AND IT BEING USED APPARENTLY, THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A SPECIAL EVENTS FOR THAT'S JUST IT, AND THE HORSE SHOWS THAT THEY HOLD EVERY MONTH. AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED A POLICY. SO IT'S VERY CLEAR ON WHAT WE DO, AND WE DON'T DO.

AND SO THIS IS THIS IS WHY WE'RE HAVING A MEETING THIS WHILE WE DISCUSS IT. BECAUSE BECAUSE THIS WOULD ALSO HAVE TO COMBINE WITH THE COUNTY BECAUSE IT SAYS SOUND UNTIL NINE PM.

AND 17. AND I KNOW THAT WE WOULD REGULATE SOUNDS IN OUR MUNICIPALITY. AND SO. YOU'D HAVE TO CALL THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND I DON'T HOUSE WE WOULD REGULARLY. HOW AGREEABLE THEY ARE TO GO IN, SO I THINK WE NEED TO PUT OUR SOUL OUR STAFF INTO RESEARCH WITH PUT OUR STANDARD. YEAH. WELL, LET'S LET'S LET US DO THAT. AND, UM, WE'LL COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL IN SEPTEMBER. I THINK MR SCOGGINS HAD SOMETHING TO SAY BEFORE. YES, JUST FROM MY PAST EXPERIENCE IN OTHER COUNTIES, UH, THAT ACTUALLY HAVE. CITIES WITHIN THE COUNTY. UM OR VILLAGES LIKE MARTIN COUNTY HAS THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. UM. THE COUNTY DOES HAVE PARKS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS, BUT THEY. THEY MANAGE YOUR OWN PARKS. THEY PERMIT THEIR OWN PARKS. UH THEY MAINTAIN THEIR OWN PARKS. THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED BY THE CITY TO GET AN ADDITIONAL PERMIT. FOR PERMISSION TO USE THEIR OWN FACILITY OR RENT OUT THEIR OWN FACILITY, AND THAT'S JUST TRADITIONALLY HOW IT'S BEEN DONE. I'VE NEVER SEEN IT DONE ANY OTHER WAY. AND THAT IS MY CONCERN IS KINDA LIKE DOUBLE TAXATION. SOMEBODY THAT GOES TO RENT IT. YOU KNOW, THEY'VE RENTED THE THING OUT WITH MARTIN COUNTY. THEN THEY GOT TO COME TO US. SO THAT'S JUST KIND OF. I DON'T. YEAH IT IS. IF THEY COME TO US, THEY'RE GOING TO PAY A FEE FOR THE PARK AND THEN. NO, IF THEY COME TO US TO USE BOOK APART WHILE WE'RE NOT TALKING BOOK APARTMENT, I'M JUST TALKING AND WHAT I'M SAYING. THEY COME TO US TO USE BOOK APART. THEY'RE GOING TO PAY A FEE TO RENT THE PARK THEATER. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. THEN THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET A SPECIAL PERMIT. FOR THAT EVENT. SO EITHER WAY IF THEY GO TO TIME OF POWER PARK THAT WOULD PAY THE ACCOUNTING FOR THE FEE TO USE THE PART, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT THROUGH US. RIGHT BECAUSE WITHIN THIS, SO IT'S NOT DOUBLE TAXATION. WELL. YOU KNOW, THIS IS A THIS IS A REALLY GOOD.

QUESTION AND WE NEED TO FIND OUT AND GET BACK. GET SOMETHING AND RIGHT INTO YOU GUYS ON EXACTLY WHAT THE LAW IS AND THAT TYPE OF THING, BUT I MEAN, IT SOUNDS LIKE. YEAH. AND UH, I CAN DO TO ALBIES POINT. I'VE SEEN IT. I'VE SEEN IT BOTH WAYS. OKAY WHERE? WHERE? THE MUNICIPALITY. REGULATES BECAUSE JUST BARELY PURELY LEGAL, THEORETICAL IN THE FACE THAT YES, BUT OFTEN TO ALBIES POINT, OFTENTIMES, BASICALLY, THE MUNICIPALITY WILL. DELEGATE OR HAVE AN ARRANGEMENT WITH THE COUNTY. OH, YEAH, YOUR SPECIAL EVENTS. YOUR SPECIAL EVENT STANDARDS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO THE CITY'S OR THE VILLAGES OR WHATEVER THAT. SURE YOU WANT TO DO THAT? THERE WE FEEL COMFORTABLE. YOU'RE GOING TO HOLD IT TO THE SAME STANDARDS WE WOULD SO IT'S DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT PLACES. SO THE I MEAN, THE IDEA HERE IS NOT NECESSARILY TO GET THAT $100 PERMIT FEE BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING FOR THAT $100 PERMIT.
