[COMMENTS BY VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS]

THANK YOU. UM. JUST WELCOME EVERYONE I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORT AND TAKING YOUR TIME TO JOIN US THIS EVENING. THIS EVENING IS THE FIRST WORKSHOP MEETING OF OUR NEW MEETING FORMAT WITH SEVERAL GREAT TOPICS ON THE AGENDA, SO IT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

AND WE DO HAVE BESIDES OUR NEW FORMAT WE HAVE A BUDGET WORKSHOP THIS EVENING AND WE HAD ONE ON JULY THE 29TH OF MOUNTAINS I M BAPTIST CHURCH, AND I'D LIKE TO THANK PASTOR AND LADY PALMER FOR OPENING UP THAT FACILITY FOR US TO USE AND. WE HAD A VERY ENLIGHTENING DISCUSSION AT THAT BUDGET MEETING. THERE WAS TALK ABOUT REGULAR ROUTINE THINGS LIKE ROADS AND DRAINAGE AND PARKS WHICH WILL SEE THIS EVENING AND THEY'RE RECEIVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE NEW VILLAGE HALL. WITH SUCH AMENITIES AS A POOL. IT WAS EXPRESSED BY A COUNCIL MEMBER. WHY NOT A POOL? PEOPLE AN INDIAN TOWN DESERVE TO HAVE THAT. YOU KNOW, I THINK I DESERVE TO HAVE A PORTION. BUT REALITY IS WITH MY BUDGET I'M THANKFUL TO HAVE GOOD TIRES ON A RUNNING 77 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. WITH PEOPLE'S MONEY IN OUR BUDGET. PEOPLE IN INDIAN TOWN DESERVE TO HAVE WATER THAT IS PLEASANT TO DRINK AND TOILETS THAT ARE ABLE TO DEPENDABLY FLUSH NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER. PEOPLE IN INDIAN TOWN DESERVE TO HAVE ADEQUATE DRAINAGE, SO ROADS AND YARDS DON'T FLOOD. PEOPLE AND KIDS IN INDIAN TOWN DESERVE TO HAVE SIDEWALKS IN PLACE ALL OVER TOWN. SO WHEN KINDERGARTENERS HAVE TO WALK NEARLY TWO MILES TO SCHOOL THEY AREN'T REQUIRED TO WALK ON A ROAD OR THROUGH WATER. PEOPLE AND KIDS IN INDIAN TOWN DESERVE TO HAVE PARKS THAT ARE MAINTAINED AND ABLE TO BE USED. IT WAS EXPRESSED AT THAT SAME MEANING. THAT. CERTAIN COUNCIL MEMBERS STATED THAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I WAS ELECTED TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE AND THEIR CHOICES. AND NOT TO MAKE DECISIONS AND DECISIONS AND CHOICES FOR THEM. IT WAS ALSO STATED THAT ENTITIES OUTSIDE OF INDIAN TOWN NEED TO STEP UP AND MAKE SURE THEY GIVE TO AND SUPPORT THEIR ORGANIZATIONS IN INDIAN TOWN. AND WE. AN INDIAN TOWN DON'T EVEN STEP STEP UP TO SUPPORT THEM. HOWEVER, WE EXPECT OTHERS TO DO IT FOR US. THE BUDGET PROCESS EVERY YEAR'S ENLIGHTENING AND CHALLENGING. AND I APPRECIATE EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS AS WE MOVE FORWARD. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO REQUEST STAFF TO PLACE OUR ON OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA. THE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES I REALIZED THAT THIS ITEM WAS ON OUR LAST AGENDA BUT AS WE WORK OUR WAY THROUGH THIS WORKSHOP BELIEVE IT WILL BECOME A PICK. PARENT WHY THIS ITEM NEEDS TO BE REVISITED. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS COUNCILMAN'S DOWN. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. THANK YOU. BYE.

[APPROVAL OF AGENDA ]

[1.  

Budget Workshop Presentation.

REMEMBER ONE IS OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS OUR SECOND BUDGET WORKSHOP. OUR FINAL ONE WILL BE NEXT. WEDNESDAY. UM AND. YEAH. SO OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP FOR FY 2022.

OKAY? NEXT LOT DARED SO. THE PURPOSE OF THIS BUDGET WORKSHOP IS TO DO A NUMBER OF THINGS AS YOU KNOW, WE DO THIS EVERY YEAR. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK THAT A COUNCIL WILL DO DURING THE YEAR. THE BUDGET IS A SET OF PRIORITIES IT HELPS CLARIFIED FUNDING FOR THE YEAR. IT ENSURES THAT OUR PRIORITIES ARE INCLUDED AND IT GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY, RECEIVE PUBLIC INPUT OR COMMENT. NEXT SLIDE. SO IN 2021 THERE WERE A NUMBER OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS YOU KNOW, WE DURING COVID 19 WE ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTED A HYBRID MEETING FORMAT WHERE WE WOULD ALLOW PUBLIC COMMENT. B A. THE WORLD WIDE WEB, USING ZOOM AND OTHER TECHNOLOGY THAT WE PURCHASE USING COVID 19 MONEY WE DID. WE'VE HAD. ONGOING TREAT REPAIRING ROAD IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE. WE HAVE. I USE RESILIENCE RESILIENCY PLAN THAT WE ARE WORKING ON FOR THE VILLAGE UTILITY COMPANY. WE WERE AWARDED AS SORRY UP BUNDY, UM THAT WILL BE DESIGNING WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE. WE EXTEND OUR COMMUNITY BUS PROGRAM, AS YOU ALREADY KNOW. WE ALSO HARD A GRANT WRITER, AN ADMINISTRATOR AND I'M HAPPY TO NOTE THAT WE ARE WE OUT OF THE $7 MILLION TO DATE THAT WE'VE ACTUALLY APPLIED FOR. WE'VE BEEN AWARDED $6 MILLION AND SO THAT INCLUDES AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN. NEXT NEXT LIFE. WE ALSO CREATE A TRANSPARENCY PAGE SO WITH OUR WEBSITE THAT WE HAVE WE TRIED TO PUT THINGS THAT THE PUBLIC WOULD WANT TO SEE IN AN AREA ON OUR FRONT PAGE WHERE THEY CAN QUICKLY ACCESS IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS, AND THAT'S WHAT. WE'RE DOING SO IF SOMEONE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO VILLAGE MANAGER REPORTS OR OR OUR NEWSLETTERS OR ARE MY CONTRACT OR WHATEVER THEY CAN GO TO THEIR GO TO THAT PAGE AND PULL UP ANY CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE.

IN THE VILLAGE THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO A PUBLIC REX REQUEST OR WAIT AND HAVE US WE DO IT. THEY CAN JUST GO RIGHT. THE WEBSITE LOOK AT ANY CONTRACT THEY'D LIKE, OR ANY DOCUMENT THEY LIKE. ALSO WE ALSO APPROVED THE VILLAGES FIRST LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. UM DURING THIS 2021 DURING 2020. BUT THIS FISCAL YEAR. WE CODIFIED R L D ARS AND CHARTER IN OUR COMP PLAN NOW I KNOW THAT THIS SOUNDS LIKE A DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MUCH BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT THIS COMPANY, UM UNICODE THEY ARCHIVE OR CATALOG ALMOST EVERY. L D, R UH IN CITIES ACROSS FLORIDA BUT NOT JUST FLORIDA ACROSS THE ACROSS THE NATION AND MOST DEVELOPERS AND PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN WHAT OUR REGULATIONS AREN'T THEY GO TO MUNICH ODE .COM. LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE. AND SO WE'RE HAPPY THAT THIS HAS BEEN DONE. AND AS WE GROW AND WE ADOPT ORDINANCES THOSE ORDINANCES WILL WILL ACTUALLY BE CODIFIED AND. BE UPLOADED TO THE INTERNET. AND

[00:15:04]

THREE D. NEXT LIFE. SO UPCOMING PROJECTS WE OF COURSE WE WERE ALLOCATED $2 MILLION THROUGH A FUNDING APPROPRIATION FROM A STATE THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THE BIDS ARE IN THE BIDS ARE BIT HIGH, SO WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH AND DOING SOME VALUE ENGINEERING TO GET THEM.

UNDER THE TWO MILLION. UM BUT BOOKER PARK IS ON ON TARGET WE ALSO GOT ANOTHER $350,000 THIS YEAR DURING THIS STATE LEGISLATOR APPROPRIATION. FOR A DESIGN TO DO DESIGN ON SEMINAL AND UPTOWN ROADWAY. SO IT'S WE CALL THE UPTOWN AREA ROADWAY AND DRAINAGE PLAN. WE GOT $750,000 IN THE CDBG PROJECT TO REDO SEMINOLE DRIVE AND BY A BACKUP GENERATOR FOR A LIFT STATION OVER IN THE BOOK OF BARK AREA OF MAGNOLIA. SURE, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. AND THEN WE GOT A $25,000 GRANT. WE ACTUALLY MOVED HERE. RENT SPACE FROM THIS BUILDING. WE WERE ALLOWED. WE GOT $25,000 GRANT TO HELP WITH THE INTERIOR INNOVATIONS THAT WE DID HERE.

AND WE, UM UH I GUESS A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE COUNCIL AUTHORIZE A CONTRACT TO DO A MOBILITY STUDY OF YOUR MOBILITY FEE. IT'S LIKE A ROAD IMPACT FEE. AND WE RECEIVED A GRANT FOR $50,000 SO THAT WILL GO TOWARD $175,000 THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE USING TO CREATE THE MOBILITY FEE TO PAY FOR THE STUDY AND DO THE MOBILITY FEE. SO THERE'S A LOT NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE. SO YOU KNOW, THIS CHART IS INCOMPLETE. WHAT I DO WANT TO TELL YOU IS THAT. I THINK THAT WE HAVE THE LOWEST MILITARY IN THE STATE YOU KNOW, AND I CAN'T TELL YOU.

I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT, UM AND I KNOW THAT FOR CERTAIN. BUT IT'S I KNOW IT'S THE LORD'S LOWEST MILLAGE RATE IN IN SOUTH FLORIDA RIGHT NOW. SO ANYWAY I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT UP THERE BECAUSE IT TELLS A STORY ABOUT WHERE WE'RE AT. GO AHEAD. SUSAN I HAVE I HAVE A QUESTION.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, UM. THESE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES. THEIR MILITARY THAT THEY HAVE DOES IT INCLUDE THEIR FIRE RESCUE? UM IT DOES NOT. BECAUSE SOUTH BAY, FOR EXAMPLE, IS THERE. UM THEY'RE ALMOST AT NINE SOMETHING, INCLUDING THERE. THERE. UM UM YOUR FIRE RESCUE.

OKAY, SO ALL THESE DO NOT HAVE THEIR FIRE RESCUE INCLUDED YEAH THERE'S NOT THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY FIRE RESCUE INCLUDE IS WHAT THEIR MILITARY IT IS OKAY. WELL, IF. WELL, OUR IF WE HAD OUR OWN FIRE RESCUE, THEN OUR MILITARY WOULD GO UP IF WE HAD OUR OWN FAR RESCUE AND IF IT'S BASED ON LAST YEAR'S EVALUATION, IT WOULD BE LIKE. THINK IT'S LIKE 2.7889 IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN BUT YOU CAN ADD THAT TO 1.6304 AND THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD. THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD BE. OUR EFFECTIVE ARE EFFECTIVE MILITARY WOULD BE THAT YOU HAD THOSE TWO NUMBERS OF YEAH.

WELL, THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING IF THESE OTHER ONES IF THEY HAVE. IF THEY PROVIDE THEIR OWN FIRE RESCUE YOU KNOW IT'S ROLLED INTO THEIR MILITARY SO OURS WOULD BE DIFFERENT I THINK THE TOWN OF SEWELL'S POINT THEIR ARRANGEMENT WITH THE COUNTY IS WITH THE CITY OF STEWART AND SO THEY PAY A FLAT FEET OF THE CITY OF STEWART, NOT MARTIN COUNTY. BUT. MIND YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU LIKE SOME COMPARISON CONTRAST OF WHAT OTHER CITIES HAVE IN TERMS OF MILLAGE RATE. NEXT LINE. SO THIS IS A DOLLAR. AND WHAT I'VE DONE HERE IS IT'S KIND OF IT KIND OF CUTS WHO. HOW MUCH A DOLLAR WHERE, HOW THE DOLLARS SPENT SO IF YOU NOTICE MARTIN COUNTY MAKES UP 52% OF EVERY DOLLAR. OKAY? AND THEN MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT MAKES UP. I THINK IT'S 35% OF THAT DOLLAR. AND THEN THE BILLS MANY TIMES ABOUT 9% AND THEN WE HAVE THE OTHER TAXING AUTHORITIES LIKE SELF OF WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT KILLED SERVICE COUNCIL FINE FLORIDA INLAND NAVIGATION DISTRICT AND THOSE THOSE OTHER TAXING AUTHORITIES. THAT'S HOW THE DOLLARS BROKEN OUT, YOU KNOW, SO MARTIN COUNTY. 82% THEN SCHOOL BOARD THEN VILLAGE OF ANY TOWN IN THAT RANK ORDER NEXT LINE. SO HOW DOES THAT LOOK FOR A HOUSE THAT COST $100,000 WELL YOU KNOW THAT CHART SHOWS A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH YOU WOULD HOW MUCH A PERSON PAYS. IN ANY TOWN VILLAGE OF ANY TOWN MILLAGE, SO THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE UH YOU KNOW, THEIR WHOLE TAX BILL IS JUST HOW MUCH THEY PAY HERE IN ANY TOWN, SO IF YOU FOLLOW THE CHART THERE, UM. CAN'T REALLY SEE IT WELL,

[00:20:07]

WHAT I DID HERE. I KIND OF I KIND OF START DREAMING IN WHEN I SAY DREAMING YOU KNOW, STARTED THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW THE FUTURE HERE AND THE FUTURE IS THAT YOU KNOW, WE'RE OBVIOUSLY OBVIOUSLY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO STAY AT. 1.6304 BUT AS WE GROW AND THINGS BECOME MORE COMPLEX AND WE START TAKING ON MORE SERVICES YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO COST SO 11 THING YOU DON'T SEE UP HERE IS PUBLIC WORKS. WE DO NOT HAVE A PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT NOR A PUBLIC WORKS FOLKS. WE HAVE A PUB WORKS DIRECTOR AND WE HAVE CONTRACTORS THAT WE UTILIZE TO CARRY OUT THOSE ACTIVITIES BUT SOME OF THE FINE TUNING THINGS THAT YOU SEE IN MOST CITIES.

WE'RE NOT DOING THAT RIGHT NOW. WE'RE PROVIDING BASIC SERVICES NOW. SO I WANTED TO COUNSELOR KNOW THAT IN THE FUTURE WE NEED TO START LOOKING AT. SERVICES AND TYING THEM DIRECTLY TO THE TAXES SO THAT WE GET THE BANK FOR OUR BOOK. NEXT LIFE. SO, OF COURSE, THE BUDGET IS ROADMAP.

THE BUDGET IS A DOCUMENT. IT'S A SERIES OF PRICE TAGS IT IS NOT A FINANCIAL STATEMENT. IT IS NOT ABSOLUTE IT'S SUBJECT TO CHANGE THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED A BUDGET PLAN AND SO WE START WE START THE BUDGET PROCESS I'M SOME COMMUNITY STARTED EARLIER BUT YOU KNOW WE LOOK AT A LOT OF THINGS WHEN WE DEAL WITH THE BUDGET. WE HAVE A STRATEGIC PLANNING RETREAT OR STRATEGIC PLANNING MEETING AND AT THAT MEETING, WE DISCUSSED LIKE BROAD. BROAD POLICY ISSUES AND WE TRY TO TARGET UH, CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE WANT TO SEE HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AND SO WE LOOK AT A LOT OF THINGS WHEN YOU PUT THE BUDGET TOGETHER IS NOT JUST THAT BUT WE LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON THE ECONOMY FOR EXAMPLE YOU KNOW, ACCORDING TO MY FACTS AND FIGURES, WE HAD AN $83,000 REDUCTION IN. STATE SHARED SHAPE STAY SHARED REVENUE AND.

YOU KNOW $83,000 CAN DO A LOT HERE IN THIS COMMUNITY BUT YOU KNOW ALL THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT. UM, WHEN WE ADOPT THE UP. THE BUDGET AND WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH VERY STRICT STATE OF FLORIDA GUIDANCE AS WELL. NEXT LIFE. SO THERE ARE CHALLENGES AS ALWAYS, AND THESE CHALLENGES ARE NOT JUST ANY INTERNAL CHALLENGES THESE ARE CHALLENGES THAT YOU SEE IN ALMOST EVERY JURISDICTION I'VE EVER WORKED IN. AND YOU KNOW KOBE 19 WAS SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY'S KIND OF LEARNING HOW TO DEAL WITH THINGS AND YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT.

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH IT TOGETHER. THE AND THEN THERE'S UM YOU KNOW ATTRACTING RETAINING STAFF WERE HAVING A CHALLENGE WE HAVE SEVERAL POSITIONS OPEN RIGHT NOW. THEY'VE BEEN ADVERTISED FOR QUITE SOME TIME IT'S PROBABLY IT COULD BE BECAUSE UM, YOU KNOW OF THE SALLY RANGE THAT WE WERE ADVERTISING IT COULD BE BECAUSE, HEY, WE'RE NOT ADVERTISING EVERYWHERE. SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THAT THAT SWEET SPOT WHERE WE CAN BE A WELL WE CAN RECRUIT PEOPLE TO COME WORK HERE. AND WE RIGHT NOW ARE LOOKING AT FUNDING A LOT OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU'LL SEE FUNDING OUR WATER AND SEWER BECAUSE THAT'S SOME BIG PRIORITY FOR OUR VILLAGE RIGHT NOW. NEXT SLIDE. THIS IS THE 2021 TAX ROLL ANALYSIS IF YOU LOOK HERE THIS IS HOW TAXES THIS IS. THIS IS ADVIL ARM TAXES ONLY AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THIS CHART THERE WAS A 2.85% DECREASE IN THE TAXABLE VALUE. MOST OF THAT WAS FROM. THE LPL COGENERATION PLANT. AND PERSONAL PROPERTY AND SO THERE'S LIKE A FOOTNOTE THERE IN THAT GREEN COLUMN, YOU SEE IT. NEXT LIGHT. BUT WE DID HAVE AN INCREASE IN RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE. SO REAL ESTATE WENT UP, BUT PERSONAL PROPERTY WENT DECREASED BY $48 MILLION AND MISCELLANEOUS UH PROPERTY WHICH IS ALSO A PERSONAL PROPERTY DECREASED BY $13 MILLION, SO WE HAD A DECREASE IN PERSONAL PROPERTY NETS. MAKES UP THE BROAD. OR THE. MOST OF THE REDUCED TAX VALUE. NEXT LOT. SO THESE ARE TWO PIE CHARTS. UH THESE TWO PIE CHARTS ARE BROKEN DOWN BY WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM AND WHERE DOES IT GO SO YOU KNOW, REVENUE EXPENSES SO THE FIRST PIE CHART REALLY TALKS ABOUT APPLE ARM TAXES AND HOW MUCH WE GET IN THAT IF YOU LOOK. HAVING LOWERED TAXES RIGHT NOW. SO ALL FUNDS I SAY ALL FUNDS I'M TALKING ABOUT THE GENERAL FUND, THE WATER AND

[00:25:02]

NEXT LIVE. AND THIS IS A PERSONNEL UH BREAKDOWN ON POSITIONS FROM 21. AND WHAT WE PROPOSE WHAT WE'RE FROM 20 FROM FY 21 WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING THIS YEAR FY 22. AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ASKING FOR A COUPLE OF POSITIONS SOME PART TIME POSITIONS IN THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT WHICH IS 1.5 FT E AND TWO FULL TIME EMPLOYEES AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. SO THERE'S SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THAT BREAK BREAKOUT SHOWS NEXT LIGHT. SO THIS IS GENERAL FUND REVENUE UM GENERAL FUND REVENUE IS OUR MOST FLEXIBLE FUND IT IS THE FUND THAT WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE WE OPERATE OUT OF MOSTLY. IT'S 5.377 TO 4 SO 5,000,377. ARE LAST YEAR. I BELIEVE OUR BUDGET WAS $4.9 MILLION. WE UM $3.1 MILLION OF THIS MONEY MAKES UP 58% OF THE OVERALL GENERAL FUND. SUPPORTED BY 1.6304 MILLAGE RATE. THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN STATE REVENUE, SO WE WERE ABLE TO BALANCE THE BUDGET WE INCREASE WE ACTUALLY ANTICIPATE THAT BUILDING PERMIT REVENUE WILL INCREASE OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE OF THE INTEREST THAT WE HAVE. WITH THE DEGREE PROJECT AND OTHER RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS THAT ARE THAT SHOULD COME ONLINE SOMEWHERE AROUND THE SAME TIME THIS FISCAL YEAR COULD BE MORE BUT THIS IS A VERY CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE. NEXT LIGHT. AND THERE ARE EXPENSES SO IN OUR EXPENDITURE EXPENDITURE SIDE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE KIND OF LOOKED AT, OKAY. HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR THESE THINGS AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO BALANCE THE BUDGET? AND SO IT INCLUDES OUR TPP GRANT PAYMENT OF $525,000? IT COULD BE MORE. BUT THAT'S OUR ESTIMATES WHAT WE THINK WILL BE PAYING L P AND L AS THE REBATE. IT WILL FUND ADMINISTRATION CO COMPLIANCE FACILITIES RECREATION PUBLIC WORKS AND IT'S A SEVEN POINT INCREASE FROM PRIOR YEARS, SO EXPENSES WENT UP 7.8. ALRIGHT, NEXT LINE. GENERAL FUN. THIS IS JUST SUBSIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF OUR REVISED BUDGET FROM 2021 WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING AND IT'S PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY. IT'S A 7.8% INCREASE IN REVENUE. FROM LAST YEAR. AND, UM AND, UM. AND THE WAY OUR EXPENSES ARE EXPENSES, BALANCE IT OUT. AND SO IT'S MAKES IT A 5.37732 4 BUDGETS. GBP TAXES AND A GRANT PROGRAM IS BUDGET IN OUR GENERAL FUND. AND, UM. AT $525,000. NEXT SLIDE. SO WE HAD OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP IN MOUNT ZION, AS THE COUNCILWOMAN SAID EARLIER. OUR SECOND MEETING FOR THE BUDGET WORKSHOP IS THIS ONE IN OUR LAST MEETING WILL BE ON SEPTEMBER 1ST. UH AT 6:30 P.M. HERE IN THIS BUILDING. AND, UM AND THEN OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING, OKAY? LOOKS LIKE O WE O CHANGE IT WILL NOT BE ON SEPTEMBER 9TH WILL BE ON SEPTEMBER 8TH. BECAUSE WE HAD A CONFLICT WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD ME THERE THAT WE CANNOT HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET ON THE SAME DAY, THE SCHOOL BOARDS HAVING THEIR PUBLIC MEETING ON THEIR BUDGET AND SO THAT WILL BE CHANGED. BUT IT'S SEPTEMBER EIGHT, NOT SEPTEMBER. 9TH. AND THEN OUR FINAL BUDGET MEETING OUR FINAL PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET WILL BE SEPTEMBER 23RD AND THEN OBVIOUSLY OCTOBER 1ST HEY OUR IS OUR START OF OUR NEW FISCAL YEAR. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BE MORE THAN HEAVY. TRY TO ANSWER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MR VILLAGE MANAGER, ANY ONE FROM THE COUNCIL HAS ANY QUESTIONS? IN REGARD TO THE BUDGET WORKSHOP PRESENTATION THAT MANAGER PRESENTED. ONLY THING I HAVE IS, IS IT REALLY NECESSARY TO HAVE ANOTHER. BUDGET PRESENTATION IF WE ALREADY THIS ONE'S GOING TO BEYONCE WAGON IT'S THE SAME PRESENTATION. WE'RE NOT CHANGING THE MILLAGE, RIGHT?

[00:30:01]

OKAY, SO CANCEL THE TOUGHER. SORRY, MAYOR WHAT DID YOU SAY? CANCEL SEPTEMBER 1ST. I FEEL THAT I HAVE A CONSENSUS. YES. YOU HAVE A CONTESTANT'S GUESS WHEN 23 YEAH. THEY CAN WATCH ON FLAG IT AND THEY CAN REPLAY AND REPLAY AGAIN. OKAY, I DO HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE WE GO THAT ROUTE. UM. SEPTEMBER ONE MEETING IS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. CORRECT YES. OKAY. GOT YOU ALL RIGHT, THEN. THAT'S THAT'S OKAY. OKAY. MHM. SO YOU. YOU ALREADY KNOW MR VILLAGE MANAGER YES MA'AM, SO I DON'T SEE ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SO WE CAN CONTINUE WITH ITEM NUMBER TWO. MR VILLAGE MANAGER. I'M NUMBER TWO. NUMBER. TWO WATER AND SEWER IMPROVEMENTS UPDATES.

[2.  

Water & Sewer Improvements Update

THINGS AROUND OR SIMILAR, BUT NOT THE SRF FUNDING AND THEN JIM HEWITT IS ALSO ONLINE TO TALK TO YOU DIRECTLY ABOUT OPERATIONAL DAY TO DAY OPERATIONAL ISSUES THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. QUESTION OR CONCERN ABOUT SO, MR MCGREW, ARE YOU THERE? YES CAN YOU HEAR ME? OK, YEAH GO RIGHT AHEAD. IT'S YOUR IT'S YOUR SHOW, MAN. THANKS. PERFECT. I'D LIKE TO SHARE MY SCREEN THAT'S POSSIBLE. JUST GIVE US ONE SECOND. JUST A MINUTE, DANIEL. OKAY, TRY NOW.

OKAY? CAN YOU SEE THE SLICE? YES, WE CAN. OKAY, PERFECT. WELL, GOOD EVENING. UM. THIS IS DANIEL MAGARA WITH A CLOSE ENGINEERING AND INDEED TONIGHT HOWARD ASKED ME TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF PRESENTATION OF THE ONGOING UTILITY PROJECTS. ESPECIALLY RELATED TO THE TO THE ONCE FUNDED BY THE BY THE SRF. WILL GO UM WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE CURRENT PROJECTS GOING ON BOTH THE WATER AND WASTEWATER AND THEN I'LL BRIEFLY MENTION THE FUTURE PROJECTS THAT WE SEE COMING ALONG WHICH ARE CONTINUATION OF THE CURRENT PROJECTS. WELL, THE WATER PLANT AS YOU KNOW, IS IN NEED OF IMPROVEMENTS AND THAT WOULD BE A PROJECT THAT WILL TAKE SEVERAL YEARS TO COMPLETE THIS IS JOSEPH FIRST FACE OF THAT PROJECT WHICH IS THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN FACE. OTHER FACES WILL COME ALONG BUT THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS ABOUT 80% COMPLETE AND IS BEING PERFORMED BY KIM THE HORN. IT IS BEING PAID BY THE SRF LOAN OF WHICH 50% IS GRANT. THE PURPOSE AGAIN IS TO DO A PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF THE NEW EQUIPMENT TREATMENT PROCESSES. THAT ARE NEEDED TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL WATER QUALITY OF WATER PLANT. AS WELL AS SYSTEM RELIABILITY. NOW IT IS NOT INTENDED TO INCREASE CAPACITY OF THE WATER PLANT.

THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE THE DESIGN CONTINUED CONTINUING WITH CONSTRUCTION.

[00:35:02]

ALSO UM IDENTIFY PROJECTS THAT NEED TO BE CONSTRUCTED TO MEET THE FUTURE DEMANDS THE WATER SYSTEM. THIS STUDY WILL PROPOSE PROJECTS THAT ARE NEEDED. UM UM RIGHT NOW, AS WELL AS IN THE 20 YEAR TIME VERIZON AFTER ALL, THE GROWTH IS ANALYZED. THE IN THE END, THE CONCLUSIONS OF THIS REPORT WILL BE A LIST OF PROJECTS THAN THAT THE VILLAGE CAN THEN CLEARED INTO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLANE. FOR THE UTILITY SYSTEM. ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE. WASTEWATER PLANT. UH. SIMILAR TO SIMILAR TO THE WASTE OF THE WATER SYSTEM IT'S A MULTI FACE PROJECT RIGHT NOW. WE'RE IN THE PLANNING STAGES HOLTZ ENGINEERING IS A FIRM YOU SELECTED TO PERFORM THIS PROJECT AND THEY'RE ABOUT 50, COMPLETE WITH THE PLANNING.

THIS PROJECT IS BEING FUNDED BY AN SRF LOAN WITH 50% A GRANT. WHAT IT WILL DO IS IT'S GOING TO EVALUATE ALL THE ALTERNATIVES AND CROSSED TO IMPROVE THE WASTEWATER PLANT.

TO REACH CLASS ONE RELIABILITY WHICH IS A REQUIREMENT TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE PUBLIC ACCESS REUSE WHICH IS SOMETHING THE VILLAGE WILL WILL MOVE TO WORK IN THE FUTURE. IT ALSO WILL LOOK AT THE EFFLUENT DISPOSAL OPTIONS WHICH RIGHT NOW IS A LIMITED FACTOR IN THE CAPACITY OF YOUR SYSTEM. AND ALSO WILL ANALYZE THE BASIN MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN B MAP THAT WAS JUST ADOPTED BY THE EP. UM WHICH HAS TO DO WITH THE AMOUNT OF NUTRIENTS THAT YOU CAN DISCHARGE INTO THE GROUNDWATER. TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FACILITIES IN COMPLIANCE UH, WELL INTO THE FUTURE. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THIS PROJECT HOLT IS ALSO LOOKING AT THE COLLECTION SYSTEM THEY'RE LOOKING AT IMPROVING SEWER PIPING IN THE NORTHEAST AREA OF THE OF THE VILLAGE. AS WELL AS FORCED ME REPLACEMENTS IN SOUTHWEST WAR FUEL BOULEVARD.

AND ABOUT 12 PUMP STATIONS THAT NEED TO BE REHAB SO ALL THOSE THINGS WILL BE EVALUATED AND, IN THE END THE CONCLUSIONS OF THIS REPORT WILL BE USED TO DEVELOP ANOTHER FACILITIES PLAN. THAT WE CAN THEN USE TO APPLY FOR ADDITIONAL GRANTS UM, FROM THE FROM THE SRF. FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF ALL THESE PROJECTS. ANOTHER MASTER PLAN, ALSO BY COPTIC, THIS ONE IS FOR THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM THEY'RE ALSO ABOUT 50% COMPLETE AND IT'S BEING FUNDED BY THE SAME

[00:40:03]

AS WELL AS THE TWO WATER MAINS. I MENTIONED. UM YES, THE THAT NEW WATER METERS WOULD BE INSTALLED LATER IN THE FUTURE. SAME THING ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE. UH, DESIGN PERMANENT CONSTRUCTION FACES OF THOSE SAME PROJECTS FOR WHERE THE WASTEWATER PLANT GRAVITY SEWER REHAB FORCED ME REPLACEMENT AND PUMP STATION. IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL AS OTHER PROJECTS THAT MAY BE IDENTIFIED BY BOTH MASTER PLANTS THAT WE HAVE YET CONCLUDE WE HAVE A CHANCE OF INCLUDING THOSE PROJECTS IN THE FACILITIES PLAN I MENTIONED FOR THE WASTEWATER SITE. THE FUTURE AND FUTURE WATER FACILITIES, PLANTS AS WELL. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IN A NUTSHELL FOR THE SRF FUNDED PROJECTS UM, IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THEM. DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT QUESTION PRAYER. DANIEL OR NOT, BUT. IS ALL THE PIPING IS GOING TO BE LOOPED AROUND REGARDLESS OF IF IT'S ON A DEAD ON OR NOT.

SORRY. COULDN'T IT WAS VERY LOW I COULDN'T HEAR THE QUESTION ALL THE PIPING TALKING TO LIKE.

ARE ALL THE PIPES GOING TO BE LOOPED INSTEAD OF LIKE ON A DEAD END ROAD IS THE PIPE GOING TO BE LOOPED AROUND OR IS IT JUST GOING TO BE A DEAD END PIPE? WELL WHENEVER TYPICALLY FOR WATER MAINS WHENEVER NEW WATERINGS GET PUT IN EVERY EFFORT IS MADE TO LOOK THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND TIE THEM IN AT LEAST BOTH ENDS. SO I AGAIN THEY'RE JUST STARTING ON THE DESIGN NOW, BUT I'M MORE MOST CERTAINLY THAT WOULD BE THE CASE FOR BOTH OF THESE PROJECTS. I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. NOW DANIEL ONCE WE ONCE THIS IS HOWARD BROWN DANIEL ONCE WE GET ONCE WE GET THE DESIGN COMPLETE WILL BE SHOVEL READY. IS THAT CORRECT OR ACCURATE? YES. ONCE WE GET THE DESIGN COMPLETE THE NEXT STEP WELL, THE WATER AND THE WASTEWATER IN A DIFFERENT TIME. TIME SCHEDULE IF YOU WILL BUT JUST TALKING ABOUT THE WATER PLANT, WHICH I KNOW IS THE TOP PRIORITY. UM. THIS PROJECT THIS WATER PLANT IS GOING TO BE DESIGNED AND AS SOON AS THE DESIGN IS COMPLETE WE'RE GOING TO GO FOR THE CONSTRUCTION LOAN. UM. THAT WILL PAY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT. SO, UM AND THE OTHER TWO WATER MEANS THAT I MENTIONED THEY'RE ALL LUMPED INTO THE SAME SAME DESIGN LOAN THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY USING AND THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE LUMPED INTO THE SAME CONSTRUCTION LOAN THAT WE INTEND ON APPLYING. THE REASON WHY I SAID THAT COUNCIL IS BECAUSE OUR GOAL IS ONCE WE GET SHOVEL READY? WE WILL BE PURSUING GRANT FUNDING ALSO IN TANDEM WITH. WITH THE SRF FUNDING SO WHICH EVERYONE WHICHEVER ONE WE GET FIRST WE WOULD GO WITH THE GRANT. IF WE WERE ABLE TO PAY FOR SOME OF THIS STUFF WITHOUT HAVING TO GET A LOAN FOR IT. SO. WE'RE GOING TO GET VERY AGGRESSIVELY GRANT. ONCE WE GET THESE DESIGN DOCUMENTS TOGETHER. ON THE WATER AND SUICIDE. DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? HI. SAID, MR ME GROW UM. SO BASICALLY IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE DOING A LOT OF MASTER PLANS WERE TRYING TO STI, UM. WE'RE TRYING TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE WHAT WE CURRENTLY NEED OR CAPACITY YOU DID STATE THAT, UM. AT THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENT. IS TO HELP. UH UPGRADE THE SYSTEM, BUT IT'S NOT TOO INCREASED CAPACITY CORRECT. THAT IS CORRECT. HAVE WE CONSIDERED. CONSIDERING CAPACITY OR INCREASING CAPACITY IS THAT LIKE SOMETHING LIKE ANOTHER, UH. ANOTHER MASTER

[00:45:03]

THE INTENTION OF THE SRF PROGRAM WAS TO INCREASE THE WATER QUALITY DEFICIENCIES THAT WERE IN THE SYSTEM AND TO ADDRESS DETERIORATION AT THE PLANT AND IN THE SYSTEM THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION FOR PLANT CAPACITY INCREASES ON THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND, UH. DANIEL CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT, UM. OUR CURRENT CAPACITY IS ABOUT 1.3 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY, AND THERE WILL BE SOME INCREMENTAL CAPACITY INCREASE AS A RESULT OF BLENDING. WITH THE NEW PLANT BUT IT'S NOT DESIGNED FOR A DRAMATIC PLANT INCREASE THE SAME THING WOULD GO ON THE WASTEWATER PLANT AS FAR AS CAPACITY INCREASE. THERE IS NO CURRENT CAPACITY INCREASE INCLUDED IN THE SRF PROGRAM FOR THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE AWARE OF AN THAT MAY BE NEEDED SOONER THAN THE WATER PLANT AND SO WE'RE ACTUALLY IN THE INVESTIGATION STAGE IS NOW LOOKING AT THAT AND DISCUSSING THAT. WITH OUR CONSULTANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PLAN FOR FUTURE EXPANSIONS NOW. DANIEL FEEL FREE TO FILL IN YEAH. YES, YES THAT'S THAT'S CORRECT BUILD. THE SRF PROGRAMME DOES NOT PAY FOR WATER EXPANSION CAPACITY PROJECTS ALONE BY ITSELF SO YES, THE THIS THESE REPORT IMPROVEMENTS. SO WHEN YOU SHOULD AGREE WHEN SHOULD THE COUNCIL START SEEING WORK IN REGARDS OF CAPACITY BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE. PRIMARY THINGS THAT I THINK WE NEED A TARGET FIRST IN REGARDS OF, UM.

YOU KNOW, GETTING THE STUDY DONE WITH RATES BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT OUR RIGHT PAIRS TO BE IMPACTED UM DEVELOPMENT COMING. WE KNOW THAT BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY PAY FOR WHAT? CAPACITY THAT THEY'RE COMING INTO UM WELL, YOU YOU. I MEAN MADAM MAYOR YOU SAID A COUPLE OF THINGS, BUT LET ME JUST TRY TO SAY ANSWER ONE OF IT, SOME OF IT OR ALL OF IT.

OKAY SO WE HAVE WE RETAIN. WE REINSTATED JEFF LESLIE'S CONTRACT HE WAS THE FORMER OWNER OF THE WATER TOUR PLANT. HE'S GOING TO BE HELPING US NEGOTIATE THESE WATER AND SEWER AGREEMENTS OKAY THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S ONE THING. SECOND THING IS, IS THAT WE'RE RIGHT NOW IN CONVERSATION WITH AN ENGINEERING FIRM THAT SPECIALIZES IN WATER AND SEWER IMPACT THESE THEY'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW. UPDATING MR HART MINTS. WHAT INSURER IMPACT THE STUDY, AND SO. WE'RE HOPING THAT IF IT'S OVER IF IT'S OVER, $15,000 WHICH I THINK IT WILL BE THE STUFF THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. I'LL BE BACK TO THE COUNCIL HOPEFULLY ON SEPTEMBER 9TH ASKING YOU TO APPROVE A CONTRACT WITH THIS ENGINEERING FIRM TO UPDATE THE WATER AND SEWER IMPACT. THESE. AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GUARANTEED REVENUE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT THAT WAS POINTED OUT TO ME THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT. SO SO, AS FAR AS TIMING UM SEPTEMBER 9TH WE COULD PROBABLY HAVE SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA FOR THE ENGINEERING STUDY BUT WHAT I WAS TOLD AT ONE OF THE MEETINGS IS THAT WE NEEDED TO WAIT UNTIL WE GOT THE WASTEWATER WATER MASTER PLAN. THAT'S NOT COME THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE COMPLETE UNTIL I THINK DECEMBER SO.

THAT'S KIND OF THE TIMING THAT'S KIND OF THE TIMING. IF IT MAKES SENSE DANIEL DO YOU REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION I'M SURE YOU WERE ON THE CALL? YES. ABSOLUTELY THE IDEA IS TO WAIT FOR THE MASTERS FOR THE MASTER PLANS TO BE COMPLETED IN DECEMBER SO THAT YOU CAN

[00:50:04]

THINK HE PRESENTED VIA ZOOM, UM. THERE WAS A LOT OF YOU KNOW THE LEFT STATIONS THEY THEY WERE NOT. THEY WERE THEY NEEDED. NEEDED REPLACEMENT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FLORIDA REAL WATER ASSOCIATION HE MADE A PRESENTATION TO YOU UM AND THEY AND I DID HAVE, UH, ANY ANTON RESIDENT. YEAH, MESSAGE ME TELLING ME WILL THIS BE FIXED SO WELL YOU KNOW IT WILL BE FIXED. UM MAYBE BILL CAN, UH I KNOW THAT SURE. TOM STATIONS AND LITTLE STATIONS STATIONS AND WHERE DOES THAT COME IN WITH ALL THESE STUDIES AND IMPROVEMENTS WHERE DOES THAT FIT? YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM UM THERE'S ALREADY BEEN PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF THE STATIONS BY MYSELF MR HARTMAN PREVIOUSLY AND ALSO BY HOLTZ ENGINEERING NOW, UM THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED. ROUGH ESTIMATES SO THAT THEY CAN, UH INCLUDE THAT IN THEIR DESIGN PHASE AND COSTING THE PUMP STATIONS AND LIFT STATIONS THAT YOU'RE HEARING ARE BEING USED INTERCHANGEABLY IT'S THE SAME THING IT'S JUST A TERM THAT'S BEING USED INTERCHANGEABLY AND WE WILL BE ADDRESSING ALL OF OUR LIFT STATIONS AS A PART OF THE SRF PROGRAM. THERE IS REHABILITATION INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM. THANK YOU AND THEN I KNOW I'M GOING TO GO ON WITH THESE QUESTIONS WATER PRESSURE. UM IS THAT IN. TO IMPROVE THE WATER PRESSURE IS THAT IN THE TREATMENT PLANT INVOLVED, UM, IMPROVEMENT. WATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENT IS THAT WHAT WE'RE NOT ACHIEVE THEY'RE NOT SPECIFICALLY NOT SPECIFICALLY UM IF WE DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE PRESSURE ISSUES COMING OUT OF THE PLANT, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE LEAVING THE PLANT AS FAR AS OUR OPERATING POINT WITH OUR PUMPS OR INCREASING THE CAPACITY OF OUR PUMPS. UM TYPICALLY WHEN THERE ARE PRESSURE ISSUES OUT IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, IT'S A RESULT OF A LACK OF SYSTEM LOOPING OR SMALLER MAINS UM SO FOR INSTANCE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TWO INCH MAIN WITH AN EIGHT INCH MAIN WILL STRENGTHEN US SYSTEM LOOP IT WILL INCREASE PRESSURES IN THAT AREA. THE. REPLACEMENT OF THE EIGHT INCH MAIN ALONG THE RAILROAD TRACK WITH THE 12 INCH THAT MAIN LOOPS IN THROUGH BOOKER PARK.

Active Shooter Training Follow-Up Presentation and Discussion on Draft Emergency Action Plan.

[01:00:04]

AND SO WHAT WE'LL DO IF THE COUNCIL APPROVES THIS POLICY, OUR STAFF WILL BE TRAINED ON THIS POLICY EVERY YEAR AS REQUIREMENT. AND SO AS A REFRESHER OR OR MANDATORY TRAINING. YES, MA'AM. WILL YOU DO? MONTHLY QUARTERLY DRILLS. WE WILL DEFINITELY DO A DRILL.

MORE THAN ANNUALLY WE HAVE NOT WELL YOU KNOW IT COULD BE. IT COULD BE. IT COULD BE A YEAR IT COULD BE QUARTERLY. BUT WE THE GOAL IS TO DO IT ROUTINELY SO THAT WE CAN CAPTURE. NEW EMPLOYEES THAT COME ON BOARD THAT WERE ALWAYS CAPTURING PEOPLE, BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHEN, IF YOU KNEW YOU MAY NOT HAVE HAD THE TRAINING THAT SOMEONE. HAS ALREADY HAD AND SO AND TRAINING GIVES YOU THAT WITH ANY LIKE MUSCLE MEMORY I MEAN IN, YOU AUTOMATICALLY HAVE THAT MINDSET SO THE MORE YOU TRYING THE EASIER IT BECOMES. YOU CAN ALSO MAKE THIS UP PART OF THE ON BOARD. YES, IT WILL. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE ON BOARD? UM, WE. ATTACH ALL THESE POLICIES UM, YOU KNOW UH, TO THEIR AGREEMENT. AND THAT'S THAT'S A THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. WE DO THAT RIGHT NOW. YEAH. WELL, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE I HAD TRAINING AT MY JOB FOR IT.

ESPECIALLY WITH THINGS GOING ON. NOWADAYS, WE NEED TO PROTECT HER. OUR STAFF AND VISITORS. UM SO THANK YOU. SIR. VILLAGE MANAGER. ITEM NUMBER FOUR. NUMBER FOUR. MADAM MAYOR

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding Project Recommendations.

[01:05:07]

SO THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT ABOUT WAS THIS. WAS WE NEED TO HIRE A CONTRACT MANAGER OR PROJECT MANAGER TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE FUNDS ARE SPENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS. BECAUSE WHAT I DO KNOW IS THIS AND FIVE YEARS FROM NOW. WHEN THIS PROGRAM SUNSETS. THERE. THERE'S GOING TO BE A FEDERAL ARGUE IS GOING TO COME IN HERE HE'S GONNA WANT TO SEE EVERY RECEIPT AND IF THAT THING WAS SPENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT FINAL TREASURY GUIDANCE AND WE'RE NOT IN ANY POSITION. HAVE TO PAY OUT OF OUR POCKET IN FIVE YEARS FOR PERSONS THAT WE THOUGHT WE LAWFULLY MADE SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DO THAT NOW I'VE SEEN SOME OTHER JURISDICTIONS. THEY'VE HAD THE SAME PERSON THAT'S DOING THAT.

AND JUST TO MAKE SURE I THINK IT'S EITHER A FINANCE C P A TYPE. IT'S SOMEONE THAT ACTUALLY CAN READ THIS GUIDANCE AND MAKE IT THEIRS AND THEY CAN WORK WITH OUR LAWYER TO SAY.

YEP. THEY AGREE, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO BUY STUFF THAT WE HAVE TO PAY BACK IN FIVE YEARS FROM NOW. UH, TWO. YES. WE CAN. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM, WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT NOW.

GO AHEAD. UM, WELL THAT'S $70,000 SO WE HAVE TWO YEARS TO SPEND THIS. WELL NO. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS TOLD THIS AFTERNOON THAT THERE IS NO DEADLINE ON SPENDING THE MONEY. YOU JUST HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY IN THE CHORDS. WHEN IT'S GONE, IT'S GONE OKAY SO THAT $70,000 IT'S NOT A YEARLY AMOUNT IT JUST JUST TO COVER THAT'S NOT. I JUST THOUGHT THAT IF WE HAD.

[01:10:05]

ON THE AGREEMENT AND EVERYTHING BUT WILL THE MONEY BE GIVEN TO US UP FRONT OR THE MONEY THE MONEY? THE MONEY WILL BE GIVEN TO US HALF THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE OTHER HALF. NEXT YEAR OKAY ALL RIGHT BUT I KNOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE YOU KNOW SHE'S TALKING ABOUT YEAH YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE ARP OF MONEY. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE MONEY FROM MARTIN COUNTY YES, MARTIN THE MONEY FROM MARTIN COUNTY IS GOING TO BE GIVEN TO US PURSUANT. TO A GRANT AGREEMENT ALL RIGHT, THAT THAT IS BEING CREATED RIGHT NOW BY MARTIN COUNTY, AND I'M GONNA BE REVIEWING IT'S GOING TO BE COMING BEFORE YOU. IT'S POSSIBLE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE IT MAY BE. ON A REIMBURSEMENT BASIS BUT IT WAS AGREED IN THE AGREEMENT THAT IF IT'S REIMBURSEMENT, IT'S GOING TO BE INCREDIBLY SHORT TURNAROUND SO SHORT THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY CASH FLOW ISSUES. SO RIGHT NOW, YEAH. UM SO IT'S GOING TO BE THE EQUIVALENT OF GETTING IT IN HAND BUT IT MAY JUST BE IT'S GOING TO GET PAID OUT FROM THE COUNTY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AS BILLS COME DUE AS WE READ IN THE CONSTRUCTION, OKAY? THANK YOU. SO I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. WELL, I DON'T KNOW. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHEN TO JUMP IN HERE AT THE VERY END OF THIS OR HERE AT THE LOOPING PROJECT. UM BECAUSE. I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEEN ADDED TO THIS BECAUSE WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PROJECTS ON. VIABLE PROJECTS TO SPEND THE MONEY ON I KNOW THAT ONE PROJECT THAT WE BROUGHT UP UM. AGAIN THAT I WAS FAVORABLE TO IS THAT RESERVOIR. AND THE DEDICATED PUMP. FOR PRESSURE. ISSUES THAT WHEN THERE'S A DROP OF PRESSURE BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS BEING TAKEN CARE OF WITH THE LOOPING PROJECT ON FOR THE I GUESS THAT'S THE WEST SIDE THE BACKUP PUMP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT? NO, IT WAS WHAT, UM BILL. UM. LAID OUT FOR US ANOTHER ANOTHER OPTION TO SPEND THE MONEY ON AND IT WAS A DEDICATED PUMP AND A DEDICATED RESERVOIR TO HELP WITH PRESSURE ON THE. EAST SIDE OVER HERE SO WHEN THERE WOULD BE A DROP THEN THIS WOULD KICK IN IN ORDER TO IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN PRESSURE IS DANIEL MAKER STILL ON WELL, BILL HE PROBABLY. WELL, WELL THE REASON WHY I'M ASKING DANIEL NIGRO STILL ON IS BECAUSE UM THE. FUNDING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC WHEN IT COMES DOWN AT THE WATER AND SURE PROJECTS ABOUT WHAT'S ELIGIBLE OR NOT. AND BILL CAN EXPLAIN TO US BECAUSE HE WAS ON THAT CALL WITH DANIEL MAY GROW.

[01:15:06]

THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE SRF THAT MR BROWN WAS DISCUSSING. FIRE PROTECTION PROJECTS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE THE ELIGIBILITY BECOMES, UM. HOW THE PROJECT IS FRAMED AND THE. REST WOULD BE WATER QUALITY SYSTEM LOOPING SO THE PUMP STATION IS SIMILAR TO THIS PROJECT IT WOULD POTENTIALLY MEET THAT REQUIREMENT ALSO, IT'S A QUESTION OF HOW WE FRAME THE PROJECT AND THOSE WORDS ANY PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO INCREASE YOUR WATER PRESSURE.

OR YOUR SYSTEM LOOPING OR YOUR WATER QUALITY IS TYPICALLY GOING TO ALSO INCREASE YOUR FIRE PROTECTION SO A PROJECT THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED SOLELY TO PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE BUT JUST BECAUSE IT PROVIDES FIRE PROTECTION AS A PART OF THE PROJECT THAT'S NOT GOING TO DISQUALIFY IT IF I'M MAKING ANY SENSE HERE AT ALL.

RIGHT? OKAY, BUT THE. SO WE'RE TALKING THE EAST PART OF TOWN. THAT DEDICATED PUMP AND RESERVOIR TO HELP WITH PRESSURE. THAT WOULD NOT ONLY IMPACT OUR CURRENT RESIDENTS IN THE EAST PART OF TOWN. BUT IT WOULD ALSO IMPACT LIKE WE SAID THAT CITRUS BOULEVARD CORRIDOR THAT'S GOING OUT TO THE FAIRGROUNDS AND NOW. A HIGH SCHOOL THAT THERE WILL BE BUILT BECAUSE THAT MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WAS. TUESDAY APPROVED BY MARTIN COUNTY COMMISSION, THEY HAVE A DONOR FOR $40 MILLION SO THERE WILL BE A HIGH SCHOOL JUST A FEW 100. YARDS OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAGE BOUNDARY THERE SO NOT ONLY WOULD IT IMPACT HAVING THAT PROJECT AND I THINK IT'S WHAT FIVE MILLION. NOT ONLY WOULD IT IMPACT OUR CURRENT RESIDENTS AND THAT PART OF TOWN IN ORDER TO RETAIN PRESSURE BUT IT WOULD ALSO PROVIDE FOR THAT HIGH SCHOOL AND THE FAIRGROUNDS. ADEQUATE. PRESSURE. FOR THEIR NEEDS WHEN THEY COME ALONG. YES, MA'AM THEY WOULD BE LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE FAIRGROUNDS WHERE WE'D BE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING THE RE PUMP STATION IN SO YES MA'AM. WE'D BE PRESSURIZING THEM FROM NEXT DOOR. AND IT WOULD ALSO BENEFIT OUR RESIDENTS CURRENTLY CORRECT IN THE EVENING EVERYBODY COMES HOME AND TAKES A SHARE AT THE SAME TIME AND YOU LOSE PRESSURE SO THAT WOULD KICK IN AND MAINTAIN PRESSURE. CORRECT. CORRECT. AND WE'RE TALKING ROUGHLY ABOUT A $5 MILLION PROJECT. THAT'S A ROUGH PRELIMINARY NUMBER. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S BEEN NO ACTUAL DESIGN DONE SO UM, WE JUST TOOK SOME ORDER MAGNITUDE COST FOR WHAT A STORAGE TANK WOULD BE WHAT WE WOULD ANTICIPATE FOR PUMPING IN POWER, AND I GOT TOGETHER WITH OUR WATER SYSTEM. ENGINEERS.

AND WE WORKED US SOME ROUGH COSTS. OKAY SO AND FOR ME LOOKING AT THIS AT ALL KIND OF TIES IN TOGETHER. UM, BECAUSE MARTIN COUNTY HAS ALREADY. SET ASIDE HAVE SAID THAT THEY THEY'VE GOT 1.5 MILLION FOR THAT PROJECT OUT THERE. FOR WATER AND TURNING LANES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT IF WE WERE TO SWITCH THAT. CITRUS BOULEVARD CORRIDOR PROJECT FROM

[01:20:01]

UM, I THINK THAT WE NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO DO THE ASS BECAUSE IT WOULD BE, I THINK VERY FAVORABLE AT THE STATE LEVEL FOR THAT FUNDING ESPECIALLY WITH WITH THAT COMING IN. SO THAT'S KIND OF ALL TIED IN FOR ME. THAT'S THE REASON I ASKED FOR IT TO BE PUT ON THERE SO WE CAN PUT IT IN THAT NUMBER ONE POSITION AND GO AFTER THE FUNDING. SEEING HOW THAT POSITION HAS HAS CHANGED THAT IT'S COMING AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO. WE NEED TO GO AFTER VERY AGGRESSIVELY IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WATER AND SEWER IS THERE FOR THEM? SO THAT'S. IT KIND OF GOES WITH THAT LOOPING PROJECT. I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO WELL, NO THE LOOPING PROJECT IS ONE SIDE OF TOWN. YEAH I KNOW, BUT AND IF THAT ORIGINALLY THAT CITRUS BOULEVARD CORRIDOR CAME UP WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PROJECTS, SO. THAT'S THAT'S THE REASON I THREW IT IN THERE SO. THAT WAS THAT WAS THE REASON I ASKED FOR IT TO SHOW UP ON SEPTEMBER DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? MM. WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. IT'S A BROWN MOVE FORWARD. RIGHT? MOVING FORWARD. ALL RIGHT, UM STILL NUMBER FOUR WOULD BE AN A R. AARP A SENIOR ACCOUNTANT WE YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY IF WE'RE GOING TO BE MANAGING YOU KNOW, $3.5 MILLION. WE NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE PRESENT TO ACTUALLY.

MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS BEING ACCOUNTED FOR PROPERLY AND SO I'M ASKING THAT WE, YOU KNOW, HAVE AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR SHORT TERM THAT IT WOULD BE HERE TO DO THAT. AND I HAVE A BUDGET NUMBER OF $82,000 IS, UH $82,000. THAT'S THERE. NUMBER FIVE WOULD BE E R P WE WE, THE VILLAGE. WE ONLY HAVE MAYBE TWO PIECES OF TECHNOLOGY RIGHT NOW THAT WE'VE INCORPORATED OUR BUSINESS PRACTICE AND THAT IS THE WE ABSORB THE WATER TOUR PLANT WE HAVE CDG WHICH IS A SOFTWARE PROGRAM THAT'S CURRENTLY BEING USED OUT THERE. I JUST DON'T THINK IT. IT SERVES ITS PURPOSE BUT IT COULD BE A LOT BETTER. IT COULD INTERFACE WITH RESIDENTS IT COULD HAVE A PORTAL FOR RESIDENTS TO GO IN AND MAKE PAYMENTS AND ALL THOSE THINGS, BUT NONE OF THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE WALKING IN TO THE WALKING IN HERE AND PAYING THROUGH CASH AND OTHER MEANS AND WE REALLY NEED TO START INCORPORATING TECHNOLOGY IN IN OUR BUSINESS PRACTICE BECAUSE WE'RE IN 2021. THIS WILL BE THE OPPORTUNITY TIME TO DO IT BECAUSE OF UH THOUGHT THIS IS MONEY THAT WE CAN MAKE THIS CAPITAL INVESTMENT AND GET A GOOD RETURN ON IT, BECAUSE IF WE USE TECHNOLOGY. IT'S GOING TO DECREASE OR MINIMIZE THE NEED FOR A PERSON TO ACTUALLY. DO THINGS AND SO I THINK THIS IS WHERE WE'RE HEADED AND WE LOOKED AT A NUMBER OF COMPANIES OUT THE EGYPTIAN EYES SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND SUSAN CLERK'S OFFICE AND WE. LOOKED AT A COMPANY THAT I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE INVALUABLE HERE. UM, AND SO OUR NUMBERS ABOUT $145,000 IS WHAT WE THINK IT WILL TAKE TO AUTOMATE. EVERY DEPARTMENT IN THE VILLAGE. SO IT'LL BE NICE TO HAVE LIKE A SERVICE REQUEST SYSTEM WHERE A RESIDENT COULD GO LINE MAKE A COMPLAINT ON A POTHOLE GET AN EMAIL OR A TEXT MESSAGE SAYING THAT WE RECEIVED A COMPLAINT. AND THEN WHEN OUR GUY GOES OUT AND. GAIL GOES OUT AND ADDRESSES A POTHOLDER SITUATION WE CHANGED THE STATUS THEY GET AN EMAIL UPDATES SAYING, HEY, IT'S BEEN CHANGED. NOW. LET'S SAY THAT OUR PERSON. DOES NOT GO OUT THERE AND CHANGE OR OR DEAL WITH THE PADDLE. IT GETS ESCALATE TO THEIR SUPERVISOR AND THEIR SUPERVISORS WILL HAVE SO MANY. THEY SHOULD DO IT IF YOUR SUPERVISOR DOESN'T HANDLE IN SO MANY DAYS, IT'LL END UP ON MY DESK. YOU KNOW AND SO THIS IS THE KIND OF TECHNOLOGY WE NEED TO HELP IMPROVE OUR WORK FLOW AND IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY IN THE VILLAGE,

[01:25:02]

THAT WERE REQUIRED NOW AS OF JULY ONE, WHERE REQUIRED TO DO A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT THE STATE THERE WAS A NUMBER OF STATE. LAW CHANGES AND I CAN'T. I CAN'T REALLY GO INTO DETAIL BECAUSE I ONLY KNEW ONLY KNOW ONE OR TWO OFF HAND. BUT BUT THE STATE REQUIRES US TO HAVE A WEBSITE WHERE A PERSON CAN GO ON AND. SEE THEIR PERMITS AND PAY FOR MOLD LINE AND ALL OF THIS, OKAY AND WE'RE NOT THERE YET. SO RIGHT NOW WE ARE TECHNICALLY IN VIOLATION OF STATE LAW, RIGHT? IS THAT IS IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO COMPLY WITH THIS NEW STATUTE THAT JUST CAME INTO EFFECT BASICALLY A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, IT. ALL BUT NECESSITATES HAVING A SOFTWARE PLATFORM THAT AUTOMATES IT BECAUSE OTHERWISE EVERYTHING IS MANUAL TYPING ONTO THE WEB PAGE AND SO ON I'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THESE PRACTICAL ISSUES WITH OUT THERE AND. THE STATUTE BASICALLY CONTEMPLATES THAT YOU'D HAVE A SOFTWARE PLATFORM THAT WOULD DO ALL THIS. WE DON'T HAVE IT. AND SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS. ITEM NUMBER FIVE THAT WE LOOK AT THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT A NUMBER OF VENDORS I THINK THAT IF WE WERE RECOMMENDING A VENDOR OF CHOICE, WE HAVE A VENDOR OF CHOICE THAT WOULD RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL. UM AS FAR AS PROCUREMENT. WE HAVE PROCUREMENT POLICIES BUT THIS IS AN EXCEPTION TO OUR RFP CRITERIA FOR SOFTWARE WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH RP PROCESS. UM, YOU KNOW BUT IF YOU WANT ME TO, I WILL, UM AND THIS TIE INTO THE WHAT? COMPLIMENT UM DARLINGS AND ABOUT THE MOBILE APP TO YEAH, WELL, THAT'S THE MOBILE APP IS PART OF PURCHASING THIS SOFTWARE SO YOU KNOW THE CITIZEN WOULD HAVE THEY COULD DOWNLOAD THE APP WHERE BACON. REQUEST THOSE SERVICES ON HER HEAD HILL AND. UM, IT JUST IMPROVES PRODUCTIVITY ON BOTH SIDES AND TRANSPARENCY. ALL RIGHT NUMBER SIX AUTOMATED METER READING. TECHNOLOGY SO, UM, THIS SYSTEM WOULD BE STATE OF THE ART, OKAY THERE APPROXIMATELY 1900 M IN THE VILLAGE, OKAY? MOST OF THEM WERE PUT IN 1980. NORMALLY THE WARRANTY ON THESE METERS ARE 10 YEARS. SO IF YOU'RE 80. IF YOU'RE BORN 1980 EUR 40 YEARS OLD RIGHT 41 YEARS OLD RIGHT? AND SO UM, SO THESE METERS ARE VERY OLD. AND SO. WE IT'S IN NEED OF A NUMBER OF THINGS. TOTAL REPLACEMENT. 1900 RIGHT NOW WE'VE ONLY REPLACED ABOUT 700 OF THOSE METERS RIGHT NOW. AND SO WE STILL HAVE 1200 M TO GO. AND SO, UM. WE WE'VE LOOKED AT. WE GOT A QUOTE. WE GOT A QUOTE FROM A COMPANY CALLED EMPIRE NOW WHY DID WE GET COMING FROM JUST ONE COMPANY BECAUSE THIS WOULD BE A SOLE SOURCE. THESE ARE OUR METERS THAT WE'VE ALREADY PURCHASED. SO WE'RE. WE'RE PREGNANT. OKAY, WE CAN'T GO WITH ANOTHER VENDOR UNLESS WE REPLACE ALL 1900 M. BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY STARTED REPLACING ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE METERS WITH THE SAME METER MANUFACTURER. AND SO I'M ASKING I'M ASKING THE COUNCIL WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE $740,000 WOULD BE A GOOD INVESTMENT AND, UH THE WATER METER. THIS IS AUTOMATED WATER MEETING MORE AUTOMATED WATER METER READER. AUTO MADE IT WATER. METER READING TECHNOLOGY OKAY, SO. AND HERE'S WHAT THE BEAUTY OF THIS IS. THIS ALLOWS A RESIDENT THE GOAL LINE. OR HAVE A TEXT MESSAGE SENT TO THEIR PHONE IF THEY HAVE HIGH WATER USAGE. IT ALLOWS A RESIDENT. TO BE ABLE TO TRACK THEIR THEIR MONTHLY BUILT. THEY CAN SET PARAMETERS THAT SAYS IF MY BILL GOES OVER $30 SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE OR SEND ME AN EMAIL OR IF I USE MORE THAN 150 GALLONS PER DAY. SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE OR AN EMAIL AND KNOW IT WILL ALERT YOU JUST LIKE THAT, AND. UM AND THEN IT WILL REDUCE THE NEED FOR US TO HALF STAFF THAT HAS TO GO OUT AND READ METERS BECAUSE IT'S DONE TO WIFI AND IT'S RED LIKE REAL TIME. SO WHEN WE HAVE DISPUTES ABOUT WATER USAGE PEOPLE SAY, OH, WELL I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. I USED THIS MUCH WATER IT MUST BE A WATER BREAK. WELL, GUESS WHAT THIS SYSTEM DOES. IT SENDS TWO MESSAGES SENDS ONE TO US IN A SENSE ONE TO THE RATEPAYER SO NOW TWO PEOPLE ARE GETTING MESSAGE THAT THERE'S IRREGULAR WATER USAGE OCCURRING ON THIS

[01:30:03]

YOU KNOW, I, UM. DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER MADAM MAYOR BUT I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GET THAT TO YOU OUR NEXT MEETING AND I CAN SEND AN EMAIL OUT TO YOU GUYS IN THE MORNING. I DON'T KNOW IF JIM HEWITT IS STILL ON HE I'M SURE HE KNOWS WHAT THE NUMBER IS. NOW WE CAN CONTINUE. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NUMBER SEVEN IS THE BOOKER PARK BALL FIELD RENOVATION PROJECT. UM. THIS AMERICAN RESCUE FUNDS I DID SPECIFICALLY SEE THAT. THIS IS ALLOWED IS ELIGIBLE USE. AT LEAST MY READING OF IT IS AN ELIGIBLE USE UNDER THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN FUNDING SO WE COULD. SO WE CAN DO A COMPLETE REDO OF THE BALL FIELDS. OWN OR AFTER DECEMBER. 31ST 2021 FOR $166,000 FOR BOOKER PARK. NUMBER EIGHT IS THE BIG MOUNT BIG MOUNT. BALL FIELD RENOVATION. I SHOULD SAY BALL, BUT. LIKE I SAID THIS WAS 15 MINUTES AGO, AND I'M SORRY FOR HE'S A SPILL RIGHT? BUT IT'S THE WRONG WORD. ALL RIGHT, UM VICE MAYOR CLARKE HEAD? YEAH. GO RIGHT AHEAD. JUST RENOVATION. SPECIALIST TEAMS IN THE RESTROOM. YOU JUST FEEL THIS IS JUST THE FIELDS AND THIS DOES INCLUDE TENSOR NO BUT IT DOESN'T. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THAT. L B, ARE YOU THERE? YES, I'M HERE. YEAH. YES, I'M ON HOWARD. WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? YEAH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE THE NUMBERS YOU GAVE ME EARLIER ABOUT HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO REDO BOOKER PARK AND IT WAS ABOUT TURF REPLACEMENT AND GROW IN. THAT WAS $106,000, RIGHT. OH, YES, APPROXIMATELY NOW TO GROW IN LAW IS AN OPTION OF 90 DAY PROGRAM TO HAVE SOMEBODY GROWING IN PROFESSIONALLY UM, LB STOP ME, PLEASE OH NO, NO NO, I'M SORRY MAN NO, WE KNOW THAT I JUST. THEY WERE ASKING DID THIS INCLUDE. UM UM YOU KNOW, LIKE REPAIR OF THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT OR UPGRADER PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT OR TED'S OR BUILDING RENOVATIONS OR CONCESSION STANDS, BATHROOM RENOVATIONS. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THAT THIS IS ONLY THE FIELDS CORRECT DOES NOT INCLUDED IT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING BUT THE FIELD TURF REPLACEMENT THE MONEY FOR THE REST ROOM RENOVATIONS IS IN THE C I, P, UM. AS WELL AS YES STAIRCASE REPLACEMENT UM AND THOSE TYPES OF ITEMS ARE IN THE RCMP PLAN. SAY. HOWARD JUST JUST ONE COMMENT WE LEFT FIELD SEE OFF ON THE BIG MOM PARK BALL FIELD RENOVATION. WHICH WAS AN ADDITIONAL 45,000. SO IT'S LIKE. TWO TO, UM THERE'S $45,000 ONCE BECAUSE THOSE FIELDS ARE THE SAME SIZE UH, AND IT'S THE SAME PROJECT. OKAY, SO IT'S LIKE. $201,000 OKAY. OKAY SO REMEMBER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OKAY WE'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT THESE ARE THESE ARE JUST RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS, OKAY? AND WE HAVE TO GET THEM FEEL VERIFIED FACT CHECKED AND LEGALLY CHECKED.

SO, BUT. THESE ARE JUST PROJECTS THAT I'M THINKING THAT WE CAN I JUST ASK I'LL BE WHICH

[01:35:05]

AND WHAT'S FUELED DAY IS THAT THE BASEBALL FIELD IN THE BACK? YES, THAT'S THAT'S A MULTIPURPOSE FIELD THAT HAS THE SOFTBALL IN FIELD AND THE LARGE BASEBALL FIELD EVENTS. UM FEEL D AS THE YOUTH FOOTBALL FIELD THAT CAN ALSO BE USED FOR SOCCER AND THEN FEEL B AND C ARE THE LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL GIRLS SOFTBALL FIELDS. YEAH. LET ME LET ME LET ME SAY IT AGAIN. THESE ARE JUST RECOMMENDATIONS THEY STILL HAVE TO SHOULD HAVE PUT AN ASTERISK ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. DON'T WORRY MISTER MANAGER. WE UNDERSTAND, OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

NUMBER NINE. IS SMALL BUSINESS GRANT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND WHAT THIS PROGRAM WOULD DO. WE WOULD SAID WE WOULD SET MONEY ASIDE AND WE WOULD OFFER BUSINESS, UH, BUSINESSES GRANTS YOU KNOW, I'M LOOKING AT. YOU KNOW IF WE HAD $200,000 WE SET ASIDE. WE WOULD GIVE A BUSINESS, YOU KNOW. I THINK IT'S MY MATH IS $2000. PEACE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE 100 BUSINESSES, BUT WE I SPOKEN WITH COUNCILMAN STONE EARLIER AND WE TALKED ABOUT YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT COULD BE BASED ON THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES. AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO FOR BUSINESS PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. AND IF YOU WANT TO, IF YOU GUYS THINK CITY COUNCILMAN NO I WAS JUST SUGGESTING THAT YOU KNOW.

BECAUSE. SMALL BUSINESS. IT COULD BE ONE PERSON IT COULD BE 50 PEOPLE IT JUST DEPENDS SO I MEAN IF SOMEBODY HAVE 50 EMPLOYEES, COMPARED. TO ONE YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT WOULDN'T BE FAIR TO GIVE THEM THE SAME 200. YEAH. I'M SORRY, 2000. SO WE'RE WE'RE JUST DO YOU KNOW SORRY DO YOU KNOW IF THE BDB IS GETTING ANY MONEY FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN THROUGH MARTIN COUNTY? UH HAVE I'M NOT AWARE OF? I WOULD SAY PROBABLY NOT, UM MADAM MAYOR. I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK IT'S PROBABLY WOULDN'T GIVE US IN. THIS MONEY WAS REALLY DIRECTED FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. AND I DON'T THINK SO. I KNOW THEY'RE KIND OF QUASI BUT THEY'RE LIKE AN AGENCY OF THE COUNTY IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. SO WELL, BECAUSE IT IT DOES THEY HERE IN THE F A. Q THAT, YOU KNOW. THAT WE COULD GIVE MONEY TO. SO I WAS WONDERING IF THEY IF MARTIN COUNTY WAS THEY HAVEN'T ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW THEY THEY PROBABLY THEY PROBABLY WILL TALK ABOUT IT. UM I KNOW THAT THE COUNTY IN THEIR LAST IF YOU IF THEY FOLLOW THEIR PRACTICE THEY THEY THEY DID DO ONE FOR BUSINESSES YEAH, THEY DID, AND THEY HAD THIRD PARTIES ADMINISTER THEM FOR THEM ON THEIR BEHALF, AND SO IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO THAT SO WE COULD CONSIDER. YEAH, I THINK THAT SMALL BUSINESS IS IN THERE. IT IS SMALL BUSINESS IS IN THERE. LET ME DO YOU GET WEIGHED OVER HERE SAY WAIT IS WAY THIS WEIGHT IS PUSHING ME AND MY SIDE SAID I DON'T KNOW NO THIS IS GOOD ACTUALLY, BECAUSE UH, I'LL JUST MENTION HOW, UH, I JUST ASKED HIM BECAUSE I'VE GONE AROUND THE BEND THIS WITH IT'S ON PAGE 10 YEAH I KNOW. I WAS JUST CERTAIN IN THE F A Q AS WELL BECAUSE IT TELLS YOU HOUSEHOLDS TO I COULDN'T I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND IT WAS ACTUALLY IT WAS WHISPERING TO HIM. WHEN ALBIE WAS STARTING TO TALK, SO TALK ABOUT PARKS BECAUSE A LOT OF MY OTHER JURISDICTIONS HAD LOOKED INTO THAT WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE INTERIM FINAL RULE FROM, UM. FROM TREASURY IT DOESN'T DIG INTO THAT BUT MAYOR AS YOU POINT OUT, FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FROM TREASURY DOES IT BASICALLY EXPLAINS OH, YEAH, YOU CAN. YOU CAN JUSTIFY SPENDING MONEY ON IMPROVEMENTS TO PARKS UNDER THIS RULE, WHICH IS NOT IN THE INTERIM RULE BUT THEY'RE JUST KIND OF ELABORATING ON THEIR OWN RULES. SO YEAH. BUT, YES SMALL BUSINESS IS ON PAGE 10 OF THE F A. Q AND IT'S ACTUALLY TELLS YOU YOU CAN DO IT TO HOUSEHOLD SMALL BUSINESSES YOU CAN ACTUALLY DESIGN A PROGRAM ENSURE THE PROGRAMME RESPONSE TO DIFFERENT RECIPIENTS. AND THEN. FOR THE PARKS IT'S COMING BASICALLY PUBLIC HEALTH DURING THE PANDEMIC. YOU CLOSE.

BUSINESSES CLOSED DOWN AND WHAT DID EVERYONE GO? DO THEY WENT TO PARKS AND SO YOU CAN UPGRADE

[01:40:03]

AND, UM. MAN I MEAN I THOUGHT NO ONE'S READING THIS STUFF, HUH? I READ IT. THAT IS REALLY GOOD TO HEAR. UM YOU KNOW, IT'S HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF STUFF AND I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT NO ONE READ IT, BUT. I MEAN HONESTLY I MEAN, I GOT SOME HELP FROM COUNCILMAN DOLLY. NO. THE DAY WHEN I MET WITH HIM, HE SAID DO CONTROL ELF. AND I SAID, WHAT'S THAT? AND THEN? SO I DID CONTROL UP AND I STARTED FINDING EVERYTHING I NEEDED YOU CAN GO RIGHT TO IT. I'M SURE YOU GUYS ARE TECH GUYS AND. ALL THAT SO ALL RIGHT MOVING ON. SO I SAYS IT SET ASIDE $200,000 IT COULD BE MORE IT COULD BE LESS I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT I SPOKE WITH ONE OF THE MEMBERS ABOUT AND I FELT IT SHOULD BE PUT ON THIS LIST. NUMBER 10 I'VE TALKED WITH A NUMBER OF YOU ABOUT THIS. I THINK AT LEAST FOUR OF YOU ALL ABOUT THIS. A MINOR HOME REPAIR PROGRAM. I CALL IT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT INITIATIVE. AND THIS WOULD BE A OWNER OCCUPIED MINOR HOME REPAIR PROGRAM. IT WILL BE TOLD WE WOULD SET ASIDE $250,000 AND IT WOULD BE USED TO, UM ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS. UM. PERSON THAT OWNS THEIR HOME CAN HAVE LIFE SAFETY ISSUES RESOLVED OR OR OR OR OR DEFICIENCIES RESOLVED WITH THIS MONEY. ALL THEY GOT TO DO IS PROVE THAT THEY ARE BUILDS MANY TOWN RESIDENT AND THAT THEY YEAH, THOSE MINING TOWN RESIDENT AND THAT. THAT THESE ARE LIFE SAFETY ISSUES WELL, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AN INSPECTOR WILL HAVE IT'LL BE MANAGED PROPERLY BUT BUT THE GIST OF IT IS WE WANT TO HELP PEOPLE FIX THEIR HOUSES UM, DISCUSS THAT SHOULD INCLUDE, LIKE, UM FIRE ALARM SYSTEM. SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE DOORS AND WINDOWS YEAH, IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD BE. IT WOULD BE ALL OF THE ABOVE. UM, YOU KNOW MY GRANDMOTHER BEFORE SHE DIED SHE HAD SHE WAS IN ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS. AND THEY CAME IN THEY REPLACED THE ROOF. THEY REPLACE THE WINDOWS AND BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DIDN'T PUT IN A C CENTRAL IN THERE, AND I WAS LIKE JESUS. THEY NEVER DID THAT AND BUT IT'S A GOOD PROGRAM, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN HAVE HER HAND IN HAND WITH OUR RESIDENTS, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU KNOW HOW I THINK WE WERE PREVIOUSLY BEING FUNDED BY MARTIN COUNTY THROUGH THEIR HOME PROGRAM. AND AS YOU KNOW, THE GOVERNOR. ZERO OUT HOME FUNDS. I THINK IT WAS THIS PAST LEGISLATIVE YEAR YEAH AND SO WE WERE INFORMED BY MARTIN COUNTY, SO OUR RESIDENTS WERE GOING TO MARTIN COUNTY FOR THIS ASSISTANCE. AND THE GOVERNOR STRUCK OUT. AH! HOME HOME. H O M E IS THE NAME OF THE PROGRAM.

AND THE PROJECT, YOU KNOW? HAVING A BLANK HERE, BUT THE GIST OF IT IS THAT THAT MONEY WAS ZEROED OUT IT WAS VETOED AND SO NOW NO ONE. I THINK THEY TOLD ME THAT THE MONEY IS COMING BACK. BUT. I'LL HAVE TO DIG INTO IT. I'LL GET YOU SOMETHING WRITING ABOUT IT.

YES, MA'AM. UM, WELL NOW, MARTIN KENT WHAT'S THE SHIP PROGRAM I'M SORRY I'M SORRY NOT THE WHOLE PROGRAM THE SHIP PROGRAM THAT'S THAT'S THE PROGRAM YEAH. SO SHIP FUNDS WERE VETOED BY THE GOVERNOR. OKAY, AND SO, UM, AND THOSE FUNDS WERE BEING USED TO DO MINOR HOME REPAIRS THINGS IN ANY TAIL FOR THE BILL IS BEING DONE TO COUNTY WAS DOING IT ON OUR BEHALF FOR OUR RESIDENTS. PEOPLE WANT. I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. YEAH, YEAH. YEAH NO IT'S BEEN IT'S BASICALLY FOREVER IF I EVEN THOUGH WE BECAME A MUNICIPALITY YEAH, AND THEY WERE AND THEY WERE AND THEY WERE PROVIDING IT FOR US. AS A MATTER OF FACT THE LADY FROM MARTIN COUNTY TOLD ME THAT SHE THINKS THAT SOMETHING MIGHT CHANGE IN LEGISLATURE BECAUSE IT WAS UNINTENDED BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SINCE THAT TIME. SO WOULD THERE WOULD THERE BE, UM. WOULD THERE BE QUALIFICATIONS AS FAR AS INCOME WHAT THEY HAVE TO BE LESS THAN OR MORE THAN LET ME TELL YOU AT THE WAY THE WAY I SEE IT. OKAY, UM. YOU KNOW, AND I'M JUST KIND OF DOVETAILING IN LIKE. SOME STUFF THAT WE ALREADY DO. SEE MOST OF OUR MUNICIPALITIES IN A QUALIFIED SENSORS TRACK. WHICH MEANS THAT PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE ESSENTIALLY TRACK THEY ARE OF EXTREMELY LOW TOO LOW TO MODERATE INCOME INDIVIDUALS THAT LIVED THERE. SO ANYONE LIVING IN THIS QUALIFIED CENSUS TRACK. COULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THAT IT WOULD NOT MATTER IF THEY MADE 100 $50,000 AND LIVED IN THAT HOUSE IT WOULD IT WOULD, IT WOULD MATTER IF THEY LIVED IF THEY OLDER OCCUPIED AND THAT. HOUSE WAS IN THAT QUALIFIED CENSUS TRACK, BUT. WE COULD WE COULD PUT SALARY I MEAN, WE COULD PUT YOU KNOW

[01:45:03]

AND SO THAT WAS NUMBER HERE. AND THEN WE'D HAVE OUR CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICE PART OF THIS EQUATION. THEY COULD IDENTIFY THINGS SAY THIS IS THE WORST HOUSE. AND THEY CAN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE OWNER. HOPEFULLY THEY LIVED IF THE OWNER LIVES THERE BECAUSE ITS OWNER OCCUPIED PROGRAM HE THAT WOULD BE A TOOL IN HIS TOOLKIT WHERE HE COULD WHEN HE'S TALKING TO PEOPLE HE'S HANDED OUT FIRES THEY HELPED TO, UM TO THE REST TO. HE'S HANDING OUT FLYERS TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS SAY, LOOK, CLIP YOUR PROPERTY. THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT CAN HELP YOU WANT TO SEE A THE MORMONS WHO KNOWS BUT NOW HE'S GOT ANOTHER THING IN HIS TWO KIDS WHERE HE CAN SAY LOOK, YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU CAN GET A NEW ROOF. WE GOT A PROGRAM DOWN AT THE VILLAGE AND. IT'S GONNA BE FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS AND MAYBE WE HAVE HIM KIND OF HELP US RANKED THESE PROPERTIES BECAUSE HE SEES HIM EVERY DAY, RIGHT AT LEAST MONEY THROUGH FRIDAY, SO HE'D BE INFLUENTIAL. AND DOING IT. AND THEN NUMBER 11. IT'S ON THE NEXT SHEET.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THAT WE SHOULD BUY A CHEVROLET BOLT E V AS A FULL VEHICLE, AND SO WHAT? I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT'S THE L 2.9 BUT I JUST DO IT ON THEIR BECAUSE WHAT WE NEED IS A POOL VEHICLE FOR HERE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE PAY AN EMPLOYEE. EVERY TIME THEY GO TO STEWART. TWO WAYS SO OUT THE EGYPTIAN AND SHE SHE HAS TO GO TO STEWART EVERY WEDNESDAY FOR THE NEXT MONTH. HAVE TO PAY OUR KNOWLEDGE. 55 A HALF CENT I THINK OF MILE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SIX CENTS AND 56 SAID ABOUT HOW MUCH OKAY SO SO THAT'S HER GOING TO STEWART EVERY WEEK AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE EVERY TIME SHE GETS IN HER PLB. AND DRIVE AROUND TOWN.

OVERSEEING WHAT THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS DOING AND IT DOESN'T INCLUDE WHAT THESE FOLKS DO WHEN THEY GET IN THEIR PERSONAL VEHICLE AND DRIVE BACK AND FORTH TO THE POST OFFICE IN DIFFERENT PLACES. OR WHEN I SAID DANIEL TO A MEETING IN MARTIN COUNTY, HE COULD JUST GET IN THAT VEHICLE AND DRIVE. GO THERE AND COME BACK NOW. THE GOOD THING ABOUT IS I SPOKE WITH FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT. AND ASK THEM WOULD THEY BE INTERESTED IN PROVIDING US FREE POWER? HE SAID. OH I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT FREE POWER BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT, UM THERE ARE PROGRAMS OUT THERE THAT WE CAN PROBABLY LOOK AT. HE SAID. LET ME LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK WITH YOU. SO. OR WE CAN GET A GAS CARD. AND YOU KNOW GAS IT UP. YOU KNOW BUT I THOUGHT THAT FOR 37,000 I THINK I GOT A QUOTE LATER I PUT 37,000 YEAR, BUT LEWIS SENT ME A QUOTE EARLIER AND IT WAS IT WAS LIKE $42,000 FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE. AND IF YOU LOOK AT IT, IT JUST. LOOKS LIKE A POOL VEHICLE IT'S NOT A BIG CAR, THEN LOOK LIKE A CADILLAC. IT'S NOTHING EXCLUSIVE. BUT BUT BUT BUT THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GAS BECAUSE YOU CAN GET 275 MILES YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE RANGE OF IT. I MEAN, SHE CAN GO TO STEWART BACK AND FORTH. AND WE CAN PLUG IT UP TO ELECTRIC. LET'S GO OUT, LET OUT HERE IN THE PARKING LOT. AND IF WE BUILD A NEW VILLAGE HALL WHERE YOU'D PROBABLY GET A GRANT TO PUT AN E V CHARGING STATION RIGHT THERE IN THE PARKING LOT SO THAT ANYBODY THAT COMES OFF OF WAR FIELD BULLET PART IN HIS TURN ON IN THEIR CHARGE UP AND KEEP GOING AND I THINK YOU PROBABLY SEE A LOT OF USE OF IT. BUT THAT'S JUST ME TALKING AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS THIS IS JUST RECOMMENDATION.

PLEASE DON'T BEAT ME UP. WELL, NOW THERE'S DIFFERENCES IN THOSE TYPES OF CHARGERS. YEAH, YOU CAN PLUG IT INTO THE WALL, AND IT'LL TAKE IT. ALL NIGHT. OR YOU CAN GET A RAPID CHARGER THAT'S REALLY GOING TO COST YOU THAT WILL TAKE YOU KNOW, HALF AN HOUR. YOU KNOW, WHATEVER IT IS YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES, SO YOU KNOW, THERE'S A BIG COST DIFFERENCE IN THOSE. SO THIS VEHICLE. WOULD BE USED AND. HAVE NOT LOOKED AT STATE CONTRACTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. JUST ASK YOU OKAY. HAVEN'T LOOKED AT ANY THAT WE WERE JUST TALKING RIGHT NOW.

AND SO THIS VEHICLE WILL BE USED BY THE STAFF IN THE COUNCIL TO RHONDA STUART OR RAJ ORLANDO REMEMBER THE POLICY THAT YOU PUT IN PLACE YOUR TRAVEL POLICY, IT SPECIFICALLY STATES. THAT YOU HAVE TO USE THE MOST ECONOMICAL WAY TO GET TO THE EVENT. AND SO. LIKE TOMORROW WE'RE USING THE BUS AND WE'RE TAKING THE PLANT NOT TOMORROW AUGUST 31ST WE'RE TAKING THE PLANNING COMMISSIONS TO MIAMI. THEY'RE GOING TO LOAD UP IN THE VAN. TAKE HIM DOWN THERE. AND BACK. SO. JUST A RECOMMENDATION UM NUMBER 12 IS PARK MASTER PLAN. WE'RE TALKING

[01:50:02]

UH, US, UH, YOU KNOW, A VERY DYNAMIC. YOU KNOW, WORLD CLASS PROGRAM. THAT'S ONLY OFFERED IN ANY TOWN THAT NOBODY IS DOING ONLY DURING SUMMERS THAT WE COULD BRING PEOPLE IN HERE AND HELP OUR KIDS LEARN HOW TO PLAY CHESS AND. THINGS THAT YOU KNOW ARE SO UNIQUE TO THIS AREA OF THE COUNTRY. AND IT'S THE RECORD ANY TOWN IS DONE TWO WEEKS OR SIX WEEKS, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT, UM. YOU KNOW, I'VE KNOWN HOW TO PLAY CHESS MY ENTIRE LIFE I LEARNED AS A YOUNG CHILD BUT WHEN I MOVED TO CALIFORNIA I WAS THERE PLAYING CHESS WITH GUYS OUT IN OUR PARK, AND I LEARNED A LOT. JUST SITTING OUT THERE NOT JUST ABOUT CHEST BUT ABOUT OTHER THINGS, TOO. AND HOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET OUR CHILDREN TO THINK ABOUT STRATEGY AND THINK TWO AND THREE STEPS AHEAD. AND I THINK THAT WE NEED SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THIS COMMUNITY BECAUSE EVERYBODY CAN'T PLAY FOOTBALL, BASEBALL AND SOCCER AND EVERYBODY'S TALKING AT WELL THERE'S SO MANY OTHER GOOD PROGRAMS IN JUPITER. I KEEP HEARING JUPITER, JUPITER, JUPITER. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO HAVE PLACES AND SO I JUST THOUGHT THAT WE NEED TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING. SO RIGHT NOW I'VE TASKED THE PARK SUPERINTENDENT TO DO TWO THINGS ONE GET GET LICENSED AS A CHILD CARE FACILITY SO THAT WE CAN GET MONEY FROM THE CHILDREN'S SERVICES COUNCIL. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY FUND YOU IF YOU DO A SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM, AND THEN WE PART WITH SOME OF THESE SOME OF THESE ENTITIES THAT CAN HELP US I ACTUALLY KNOW A CHESS MASTER. AND SO WE AND CHESS IS JUST ONE FACET OF LET THE CHILD DECIDE. WHICH ONE OF THESE THINGS THEY WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN. YOU KNOW? MEAN AND WEAK, WEAK TAYLOR PROGRAM.

THAT'S DIFFERENT IT'S OPEN EVERYBODY, IT'S NOT JUST ANY TAIL. BUT OUR GUYS WILL GET FIRST PREFERENCE, OKAY? AND SO WE TEACH THEM SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULDN'T LEARN. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S THE FIRST TEE PROGRAM IF IT'S WHATEVER BUT THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE MISSING HERE PROGRAMS THEM. STAN WAS A GOOD ONE. UM, YOU KNOW, BUT THERE BUT THERE ARE THINGS YOU KNOW THAT WE COULD WE COULD DO HERE. AND USE THAT BUILDING FOR AND THIS IS JUST JUST ME TALKING. AND I KNOW I DON'T KNOW THE COMMUNITY IS WHAT BETTER THAN YOU GUYS, BUT I JUST THOUGHT THAT WE NEED SOMETHING THAT'S JUST DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'RE USED TO GETTING. FILM. AND THEN I WOULD LIKE TO ADD 14 THIS. FOR DIGITAL MESSAGE BOARDS THREE.

YOU ALREADY GOT ONE. I'M SORRY. THREE DIGITAL MESSAGE BOARDS SO. ANYWAY UM BUT THAT'S IT I MEAN, YOU KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE QUESTIONS, UM. OR YOU GOT ADDITIONS. I MEAN, NOW. THAT WILL TAKE US. THAT WILL BE ALL THE MONEY, BUT. SO YOU CAN. YOU CAN RANK THESE THINGS IF YOU'D LIKE. YOU CAN. SAY WHAT YOU LIKE WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE YOU CAN YOU KNOW IT'S ALL SUBJECT, BUT LET ME SAY THIS THE MONEY IS COMING ABOUT THREE WEEKS. OKAY, PROBABLY LESS THAN THAT NOW, AND AS SOON AS I GET, I WILL SEND YOU AN EMAIL WHEN WE GET IT, SO YOU'LL KNOW IT'S THERE. BUT WE'RE ONLY GETTING HALF OF IT NOW. AND THEN THE OTHER HALF WERE NOT GETTING TIL

[01:55:03]

TALKING TO THE THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT STYLES TALKING TO THE GUY AT FLORIDA LEGAL CITIES, YOU DON'T HAVE TO COVER THE WHOLE EQUIPMENT YOU KNOW JUST MAJORITY OF THE SLIDE IS POPPING OUT IT'S OKAY YOU KNOW YOU CAN DEAL WITH IT, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW? A BOARD OVER A TENT. I'D PREFER A TENT OVER ABOARD A DIGITAL WORD SO WE'LL TAKE. JUST KEEP THIS IN MIND IS THAT WE HAVE PRETTY GOOD SHAPE COVERAGE AT BIG MOM PARK. AND ALSO A POST FAMILY PARK UM

[02:00:06]

THE ONE THAT REALLY NEEDS IT. THE MOST IS AT BOOKER PART BECAUSE THAT'S TOTALLY EXPOSED IN THE SUN. UM FOR, YOU KNOW, 89 10 HOURS A DAY. IT'S REALLY HOT AND THE ONLY SHADE PROTECTION IS VILLIANS IN THE BACK. SO, UM. ALSO HAD, UM PRICE OUT SOME ADDITIONAL BENCHES THAT WE CAN. IT'S ALL AROUND THE PLAYGROUND AREA AND WE COULD EVEN PUT LIKE THE BUS STOP LITTLE HIP ROOF SHAPE COVERS OVER THEM. SO. THE PARENTS DON'T HAVE TO ALL FLOCK UNDER THE PAVILION OR SIT DOWN ON THE SIDEWALK AND WATCH YOUR KIDS. THEY HAVE A MUCH MORE VISIBLE VIEW. THERE'S A THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS WE CAN DO. HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS. ALL RIGHT, SO. SO WE CAN WE CAN STRIKE OUT ONE AT THE STRIKEOUT ONE OF THE, UH JUST GIVE ME LET ME ASK MR ALBEE WITH 20 K. I CAN GET A TENT AND PROBABLY MEET A BENCH. IS THAT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT? FOR 20,000 YEAH, THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE DOABLE AND AGAIN UM I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE COST DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE EXTENSION. SHADE COVERS THAT ARE UMBRELLAS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THE SUPPORT BEAMS OR TO SUPPORT POLES WHICH HAVE TO BE, UH. SEVEN FT. ABOVE THE HIGHEST AREA OF THE PLAY DECK, UM BY CODE, UM OR WHETHER IT WOULD BE JUST A FOUR POST HIP. UM. ROOF SHADE COVER THAT WOULD COVER THE ENTIRE PLAYGROUND I'M GOING TO SAY THE UMBRELLAS AND WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ARE AT WAR FIELD ELEMENTARY, UM. THEY HAVE THOSE PLAYGROUND THOSE PLAYGROUND COVERS ON THEIR PLAYGROUND AND IT'S THERE. JUST AN EXTENSION OF THE SUPPORT BEAM UM, THEY'RE SMALLER, THEY PROVIDE A LITTLE SHADE. ON THAT TOP SHANE BUT THEY'LL PROVIDE ENOUGH TO, UM TO KEEP THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT A LITTLE COOLER DURING A DECK. VICE MAYOR CLARKE HAS A QUESTION, ALL RIGHT. YEAH. IT'S NOT IN THERE NOW UM I'M JUST SAYING, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW GONNA BE TOUGH. IS NOT IN THERE NOW. BUT GUESS WHAT WE CAN INCLUDE IT.

WHY DON'T WE JUST FUNNY? IT WAS A CAVERN WE CAN IF IT IF IT CAN BE PUT IN THERE. YEAH, SO LET'S LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS FOR A MINUTE. SO WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT ALL RIGHT. SO THE. SO THE SO THE 15 THIS $20,000 I THINK WE'LL DO THIS PLAYGROUND SHELTER STUFF, RIGHT? THE YOU KNOW WE WANT TO MAKE IT LOOK NICE I THINK WHAT ALBY WAS TALKING ABOUT THE FLOORING. AND THE BENCH WHERE THE MOTHERS COULD BE RIGHT THERE UNDER THE SHADE NEXT TO THE ACTUAL PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT MAYBE WE SHOULD FOCUS ON MAKING IT A COMPLETE. THINGS A COMPLETE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, NOT JUST. YOU KNOW A SEAT IN A SHELTER, YOU KNOW, FINISH THAT OUT AND LET ME WORK WITH L B AND WE'LL COME BACK WITH SOMETHING AND IF WE GOT TO SCALE BACK SOME OTHER STUFF, I THINK IT'S WORTH IT BUT HERE'S THE THING. NONE OF THESE PRICES ARE LIKE. SET IN STONE SO YEAH, LET'S GET SOME QUOTES YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. WOMAN GIVES THOMAS. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WAR FIELD ELEMENTARY. AND IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT PLAYGROUND THAT HAS THE LITTLE PLASTIC UMBRELLAS. YOU'RE TALKING. YES IT'S A SIMILAR SET UP TO WHAT THEY HAVE NOT THE EXACT ONE. BUT THAT'S. THAT'S A COMPARABLE IDEA OF WHAT? WHAT YOU MAY GET, UM, WITH THE RETROFITTING OF THE SUPPORT POLES AND ATTACHING THE UMBRELLAS TO THEM TO GIVE SHADE COVER. UM THE BIGGER PROJECT OF COURSE, IS TO IS TO PUT UP A SHADE STRUCTURE THAT LET'S SAY IS 20 FT BY 20 FT. UM THAT COVERS THE ENTIRE UM, PLAY STRUCTURE UH, OKAY TOTALITY FOOT BY 20. FT IS A BIGGER ONE THAT COVERS A BIG PART OF THE PLAYGROUND. YOU KNOW, WE CAN GO FROM. YOU KNOW, $20,000 TO HAVE AS MUCH AS WE WANT TO SPEND UH AND THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS BUT I'LL GET YOU THE BEST PRICE I CAN TELL YOU THAT. OKAY, SO JUST. THE IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE WALKERS GATE. I GUESS THAT'S ON THE WEST SIDE OF WAR FIELD THAT'S UNDER UNDER TREES SO THAT THAT THOSE TREES TAKE CARE OF SHADING THAT PLAYGROUND NOW THEY DID REDO

[02:05:05]

EQUIPMENT COOL IT REALLY DOESN'T SHADE THAT MUCH. BUT NOW IF YOU'RE TALKING A 20 FT BY 20 FT THAT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN THOSE LITTLE TINY UMBRELLA THINGS THAT THEY HAVE UP THERE. I CAN I CAN SAY THIS IS THAT WE HAVE MANY, MANY OPTIONS AND MANY MANY STYLES UH TO PICK FROM AND IT'S JUST GOING TO BE YOU KNOW WHAT'S IN OUR. OUR BUDGET AND OUR ABILITY TO DO YOU KNOW, IT'S. ALL VERY POSSIBLE UM THE REAL IMPACT TO THOSE PLAYGROUNDS ARE GOING TO BE THE PLAYGROUND SAFETY SURFACE WHICH WE CAN USE A COMBINATION OF ARTIFICIAL TURF.

GRASS AND POUR IN PLACE RUBBER TO GIVE IT A COLOR. UM COLOR SEPARATION AND SOME DEFINITION UM, THAT WILL REALLY MAKE PEOPLE GO. WOW AND. YOU KNOW, IT'S EASY TO MAINTAIN YEAH THE TURKS GOT A 10 YEAR WARRANTY I GOTTA DO IS HIT IT WITH A BLOWER. YOU DON'T HAVE TO, UH, BREAK IT SIFTED AND PUT MORE ENGINEERED FIBER MOTION. IT. UM, IT'S REALLY WORTH IT IN THE LONG RUN BECAUSE YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH AND YOU'LL YOU'LL, YOU'LL BE PAID BACK UM WITH THE MAINTENANCE THAT YOU'RE NOT HAVING TO DO. THANK YOU. I THINK WE'RE GONNA WE SHOULD JUST GO LINE BY LINE TO SEE WHAT EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE. THINK THAT'S HOW WE'LL GET THIS MEETING JUST SO THAT I'M CLEAR ON THE PROJECT FOR BOOK APART. I KNOW. YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT SAFETY SAFETY ITEMS. BRYCE MAYOR BUT I DON'T REMEMBER LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE. DETAILS I JUST DON'T YOU WORK. MACHINE. OKAY, OKAY. I WOULD DO A THING. RIGHT? WORK. SAY KIDS ALREADY IN YEAH, AND WE GOT AND WE GOT THE A D IN IN THAT FIRE STATION NOW HAD IN THE WHOLE NO, WE DIDN'T DO THAT. UM. WE DIDN'T DO THAT. I LIKE THE IDEA THAT HOWARD SAY LET'S JUST DESIGNED THE PARK THING. GO FROM THERE, MAN CAN'T COUNTERMAND DARLING. YEAH. GREAT, GREAT DISCUSSION AND GREAT IDEAS UM JUST WANTED TO QUICKLY GO BACK TO I KNOW, UM. ACCORDING TO SOME OF THE CALCULATIONS THAT WAS MADE TONIGHT. THAT WERE 90,000 OVER AND WE STILL WANT TO PRODUCE.

A, UM. A VERY NICE AND SAFETY WHEN IT COMES TO THE PARTS SO I WANTED US TO TAKE A LOOK AT, UM AGAIN I LIKE ALL OF ALL 14 OF THEM. I THINK YOU KNOW THESE ARE GREAT PROJECTS THAT HELP PUSH US FORWARD. UM. BUT IF WE'RE HAVING FUNDING ISSUES. I THINK WE SHOULD REVISIT THE SMALL BUSINESS GRANT ASSISTANCE. AND THE ONLY REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS, YOU KNOW WHEN THE BAT PROGRAM WAS TAKING PLACE I THINK WE HAD A MAXIMUM OF FIVE DIFFERENT BUSINESSES.

MAYBE A MAX OF 10. SO MAYBE WHAT WE CAN DO IS MAYBE CUT THAT IN HALF. SO WE DO 100,000 PUT 100,000 IN THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE I KNOW AS IT IS NEW AND DEVELOPING. UM. I JUST DON'T SEE 100 FOLKS, 100 BUSINESSES. PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROGRAM AND SO WE CAN USE THIS EXTRA 100,000. PUTTING IT IN THE PARKS OR PUTTING IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. WHERE. WEEKEND WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE SOME TANGIBLE RESULTS SO. AGAIN LOVE ALL OF THE PROJECTS I THINK THEY'RE VERY WELL THOUGHT FOR, UM, IN THE CONVERSATION FOR TONIGHT, BUT THAT THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY SUGGESTION. COUNCIL AND GIVES THOMAS ANY YEAH. ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO, UH YOU WOULD PREFER NOT TO SEE. HAPPEN. WELL, THIS IS. ALL THESE ALL THESE THINGS GETTING DONE WITH

[02:10:16]

UM WOULD. I HAVE MY. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE INDIAN TOWN. DO SOMETHING AND ONCE AGAIN FOR THAT. CITRUS BOULEVARD CORRIDOR. DON'T KNOW IF IT FITS INTO THIS ANYWHERE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE MONEY CAN BE IN ITS ENTIRETY BE THEY SPENT ON EVERYTHING. AND EVERYTHING GET COVERED. THAT HAS BEEN INDICATED HERE SO. YOU, COUNCILMAN STONE. I THINK WE SHOULD JUST GO AHEAD AND PRICE EVERYTHING ELSE WHERE WE ARE CURE. I MEAN, I WOULD, I WOULD TEND TO AGREE. UM. THAT WE GET SOME QUOTES IF THIS IF THIS IS IF REMEMBER? THERE'S STILL GOT TO BE FACT CHECK IS GOING TO BE CHECKED BY LEGAL IT'S GOT TO BE. YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T IT'S JUST DISCUSSION. I KNOW THE PARKS YOU CAN DO. OH I'M TELLING YOU, YOU CAN DO THE PARKS BECAUSE I CAN COME UP WITH A LISTEN WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING VACATION TELL YOU FEEL A LOT BETTER ABOUT THE PARKS YOU KNOW, PAGE NUMBER 10 WADE. BASE. WHERE YOU WANT, BUT VICE MARY CLARK. MM.

WELL YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT WRONG. UM, BUT, UM. THERE ARE TWO PROJECTS I THINK WE'RE CONFUSING THE TWO PROJECTS ONE WAS A LOOPING PROJECT IN FARM ROAD AREA. OKAY AND THEN WHAT WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT IS THE CITRUS BOULEVARDS, WATER AND SEWER EXTENSION. WHEN WE WERE TALKING WITH THE COUNTY IT WAS ABOUT THE LOOTING PROJECT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VILLAGE. IT WASN'T ON THAT SIDE OF THE VILLAGE. SO. LET ME CLARIFY THAT CITRUS IT SAYS CITRUS BOULEVARD BUT IT IMPACTS ALL OF OUR CURRENT RESIDENTS ON THE EAST SIDE OF TOWN. THAT'S TRUE. IT HAS BENEFITS IF YOU. IF YOU DO THAT SYSTEM IT WILL HAVE THIS. IT WILL HAVE BENEFITS FOR RESIDENTS ON THAT PART TOWN. SURE. HEART. OKAY? ALREADY KNOW ME. I'M OKAY WITH EVERYTHING MR BROWN WELL, BEFORE YOU GO, MAYOR LET ME LET ME GO BEFORE YOU. UM IF IT'S OKAY, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR THUNDER I JUST WANT TO JUST CLARIFY SOMETHING YES OKAY. SO VICE MAYOR THE WITH THE A. D S. THE FIRST AID KITS. OLD SAFE TIMES HAVE BEEN DONE IF, IF THE ONLY THING LEFT IS THOSE PATTING THE POLLS IT WAS WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE HAL BE. IT JUST SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE COST PROHIBITIVE AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON WHY WE DIDN'T DO THEM. OKAY. YEAH. BUT EVERYTHING WELL THE EIGHTIES THE FIRST EIGHT KIDS THAT'S DONE, BUT WHAT I CAN DO WELL WE'LL GET A QUOTE ALBY, DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THE QUOTE WAS FOR HIS PADDING POLES? POLE PADDING. THAT'S JUST SOMETHING HE'S PROBABLY GONE NOW OKAY THAT'S NOT. YEAH THAT'S NOT. THAT'S NOTHING THAT WE IT'S JUST SOMETHING I MEAN, YOU CAN GIVE BOBBY'S THERE. YEAH, YOU CAN GIVE THEM YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER BASKETBALL GOAL PATTING UM, IS GOING TO RUN US ANYWHERE BETWEEN THREE AND $500. PER POLE UM, WHICH WILL GIVE US UP ABOUT AN EIGHT FT DIAMETER POLE TO COVER MOST OF THE BASKETBALL GOAL PEOPLE WITH ENOUGH CUSHION THAT WILL PROTECT PEOPLE FROM INJURING THEMSELVES? THE ONLY. THE ONLY DOWNFALL OF THOSE IS THAT KIDS LIKE TO STICK THEIR KNIVES IN THEM AND WRITE ON THEM AND CUT THAT VINYL AND PULL ON THEM AND THERE ARE A LOT OF MONEY TO PUT UP AND THERE ARE A LOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE AND, UH THERE'S REALLY NO WAY TO PREVENT THEM FROM. WE GOT IT. ALBIE FROM WE GOT IT, BUT THEY LOOK GREAT YEAH, WE GOT IT. SO SO THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WE TALKED ABOUT A

[02:15:06]

OKAY, I CAN BRING IN MANY, MANY OPTIONS. THAT'S OKAY. THAT'S OKAY. I'LL BE OKAY. THANK YOU.

SO MY THING IS THE AUTOMATED WATER METER READING. I DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD INVEST THAT 740,000. SO LIKE I WOULD PROBABLY YOU KNOW, REDUCE THAT TO LIKE 700. WE CAN DO ANOTHER 700 M I'D BE OKAY WITH THAT. WELL, WE GOT WHAT WE, ACTUALLY THAT'S A THAT'S A REAL NUMBER THERE BECAUSE THE 739,000 AND SOME CHANGE SO YEAH, I AGREE WITH VICE MARIJUANA SHOULD TAKE CARE ABOUT. BY ITSELF. UM. AND THEN BIG MOUTH AGREES WITH YOU. I DON'T KNOW. DOES ANYONE ELSE AGREE LET'S GET SOME PRICES AND THEN FOR THE WATER, OKAY YEAH. YES THE REAL NUMBERS. WHAT THE WARNER. AND THEN THE BIG MOUND I THINK THAT WE SHOULDN'T DO LIKE THE FIELDS THAT ARE NOT MOSTLY USED, SO WE NEED TO SEE IF OUR STAFF HAS LIKE USAGE OF RENTAL. WHATEVER. CASES IN REGARDS OF THOSE FIELDS AND USE AND INVEST INTO THE FIELDS THAT ARE MOSTLY USED WHICH I KNOW FIELD E IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ONES. LOCAL PARK. UM. I DON'T KNOW. I KNOW THEY HAVE A BASEBALL FIELD THERE. YEAH, BUT IS IT USED AS A BASEBALL FIELD OR IS IT YES SOCCER WHICH I THINK THAT WE NEED A THAT'S WHY THE MASTER PLAN IS IMPORTANT. I AGREE WITH, UH. COUNCILMAN'S DOWLING IN REGARDS OF THE SMALL BUSINESS. I THINK THAT. UM, THE COUNTY MIGHT PROBABLY COME OUT WITH SOMETHING FOR SMALL BUSINESSES BUT I BELIEVE THAT AND QUESTION MARK. AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS OKAY. AND EVERYTHING ELSE I ALSO, I DIDN'T SEE THAT HERE. BUT I KNOW I HAD TALKED TO YOU ABOUT EXERCISE EQUIPMENT FOR THE PARKS YOU KNOW THOSE THAT THEY'RE COMING UP WITH, LIKE I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. OKAY? I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN HERE. IT'S NOT IN THEIR MAYOR, AND I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT. BUT WHY DON'T WE DO THIS? WHY DON'T WE ADD THAT INTO LOOK A PARK. BUT WE STILL HAVE TIME BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT THERE'S NO. THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THIS MONEY BEING SPENT SO IF WE GET YEAH, I NO DATE? YES, SORRY THERE'S NO DATE TO SPEND THIS MONEY SO WE CAN. GO AHEAD AND DO THE MASTER PLAN FIRST AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT ALL THESE. SO L B. YOU KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT? YOU KNOW, LIKE WHEN YOU GO ON A TRAIL LIKE A TRAIL IN A PICTURE DO ALONG THE TRAIL THAT I AM I HAVE THE COMPANY THAT I MET WITH TODAY PRICING THAT TYPE OF EXERCISE EQUIPMENT OUT. IT'S AN OUTDOOR EXERCISE EQUIPMENT.

THERE'S TWO KINDS OF MODELS THERE'S STATIONARY MODELS LIKE DIPS PULL UPS SIT UPS, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THERE'S UH THERE'S MODELS THAT HAVE MOVING PARTS LIKE LIKE A BENCH CRAFTED AN OVERHEAD PRESS. A CABLE, UH, YEAH, I GOT TWO LITTLE ELLIPTICAL TRADER. THINGS LIKE THAT, AND. MY THOUGHT WAS AND I COULD CHANGE IT BUT WE LOOKED AT POST FAMILY PARK AS THE LOCATION OF PUTTING THE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT BECAUSE WE CAN UTILIZE THE CIRCLE THE ROAD THAT CIRCLES THE BASKETBALL COURT. ON THE INSIDE OF THAT ROAD AND. IT WOULDN'T IMPACT ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IF WE WANT TO ADD SOME INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE PARK UH SUCH AS PAD SO WE CAN HAVE A FOOD TRUCK INVASION OR A FARMER'S MARKET. ARTS AND CRAFTS SHOW. UM.

WHATEVER IT MAY BE, UM AND WE STILL HAVE ALL THAT AREA THAT WE COULD DEVELOP UH ADD SOME MORE PAVILIONS UM AND THAT TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WOULD MAKE THE PARK LOOK. REALLY NICE AND KIND OF BE THAT CENTER OF TOWN. UM. LOCATION THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AT THE STRATEGIC PLAN. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, ALBIE. COUNCIL AND GIVE IT TO AND I JUST I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THIS, UM. WE'VE HAD OUR COVID SIGNAGE OUT ALL OVER TOWN FOR WHAT A YEAR AND A

[02:20:03]

[5.  

Code Enforcement Matters.

WHY WASN'T THAT DETERMINED BEFORE THAT WAS SENT OUT? I MEAN, IT WASN'T JUST AN ARBITRARY THING SO ALSO, UM. OKAY IN A BLANKET UNVERIFIABLE LETTER, OR YOU KNOW SOMEBODY NOT ISSUING A COMPLAINT ABOUT OH, I SAW HIM OVER THE WEEKEND YOU KNOW THEY WERE DOING THEIR ROOF DID THEY? YOU KNOW, DID THEY HAVE A PERMIT? I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT. YOU KNOW IF THAT WASN'T IF THAT DID NOT PROMPT IT, THEN WHY WERE THEY SENT OUT AND ALSO WITH THE POPULATION THAT WE HAVE? WE HAVE A LARGE HISPANIC POPULATION. AND IT COULD BE PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE MANY ARE WARY OF GOVERNMENT ANYWAY. SO IF THEY COULD BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. THEY GET A LETTER LIKE THAT. THEY NOTHING THEY HADN'T DONE ANYTHING ON THEIR ROOF THEY'RE WARY OF COMING IN AND THEY HAVE SOMEBODY COME AND SAY. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT. YOU GIVE ME $500. I'LL GO TAKE CARE OF IT. OKAY, THAT COULD HAPPEN. A NEIGHBOR COULD DO IT. SOMEBODY THEY KNOW SOMEBODY COMING AROUND KNOWING THAT YOU KNOW THAT IT WAS GOING OUT SO THAT MY CONCERN IS WHY ARE THEY BEING SENT OUT? WHO WERE THEY

[02:25:03]

[02:30:02]

OKAY? AND SO, BUT LET ME JUST SAY THIS THESE THINGS HAPPEN AND MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT GUYS UM IT'S NOT JUST IT'S NOT JUST ANY TAIL, OKAY? I ACTUALLY WORKED IN CODE ENFORCEMENT AND THREE DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES AND YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW IT HAPPENS, THE GOOD THING ABOUT IT. IT WAS IRREPARABLE, MEANING THAT. WE DON'T REQUIRE MONETARY IN THE HOUSE THAT'S GOOD OK OR KNOCK DOWN THE ROAD HOUSE. AND SO WHEN YOU THESE KIND OF THINGS HAPPEN AND WHAT YOU DO YOU YOU APOLOGIZE. HOPE THEY ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY. AND YOU MOVE ON.

UH YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME AGENCIES THAT DON'T APOLOGIZE. THEY DON'T GIVE WRITTEN APOLOGIES AND THEY DON'T GIVE THEM VERBALLY EITHER. BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S THE KIND OF ORGANIZATION THAT WE WANT HERE. WE WANT TO BE HONEST WITH PEOPLE AND BE UP FRONT WITH FOLKS ABOUT WHAT WE PROVIDE BECAUSE WE PROVIDE A VERY UNIQUE SERVICE. AND I'LL SHUT UP AFTER THIS. ACTUALLY, THAT'S GOOD THANK YOU KNOW AND YOU AND I, AND THE NEXT NEXT CONCERN THAT I HAVE YOU AND I HAVE HAD HAVE HAD DISCUSSION ABOUT IT AND YOU HAVE EXPRESSED.

UM AND EVERYONE WAS SENT UH INFORMATION ON CASE 20-7 AND I KIND OF PUT TOGETHER A QUICK TIMELINE THE THING THAT DISTURBS ME ABOUT THIS IF YOU LOOK AT IT THAT. THERE WAS NO FACE TO FACE CONTACT WITH A PERSON. BEFORE LEAN ACTION WAS GOING TO TAKE PLACE AND TWO OF THE FOUR NOTICES. WAS NEVER RECEIVED BECAUSE IT HAD A WRONG ADDRESS ON IT. AND WE DON'T WHEN YOU DON'T TALK TO SOMEBODY FACE TO FACE WHEN THEY'RE NOT GETTING EVERYTHING THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING DO WE KNOW THEIR MENTAL CAPACITY? DO WE KNOW IF THEY'RE ABLE TO READ AND ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON? I MEAN THIS PERSON THERE WAS THERE WAS ON THIS TIMELINE WHEN THEY ACTUALLY RECEIVED SOMETHING. OKAY THEY KNEW THAT THEY WERE IN TROUBLE. SO THEY TRIED TO DO, YOU KNOW, GET THE. BAGS OF CANS OUT AND WE DID SIT DOWN WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT SOMEWHERE ALONG THIS WAY UM DURING THIS PROCESS IN JUNE YEAH, I BECAME AWARE OF IT. AND SO WE MADE IT MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND SAT DOWN WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT. AND SO HE COULD REALLY UNDERSTAND. YOU KNOW, WANTS THE SITUATION AND CODE ENFORCEMENT YOU TOLD HIM WE SEE THAT YOU KNOW THINGS ARE ARE GONE THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING. YOU KNOW, BUT I, UM. MADE THE COMMENT TO MR BROWN THAT SOMETIMES AND SITTING IN THESE, UH. THESE MAGISTRATE MEETINGS SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE OUR RESIDENTS NEED RESIDENTS NEED A GUARDIAN AD LITEM YOU KNOW TO REPRESENT THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE THEY HAVE NO IDEA AND IT'S SOME OF THEM FEEL LIKE IT'S JUST A STEAM ROLLER. AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. AND SO THIS GENTLEMAN ALMOST HAD A LIEN AND HE TOOK HE'S ON DISABILITY HE HAD AN ORGANIZATION COME IN AND HELP HIM COME INTO COMPLIANCE AND HE WAS IN COMPLIANCE AFTER THE MEETING WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT WITHIN THE TIME FRAME. IT WAS SET FORTH AND IT HAD A GOOD OUTCOME. BUT. THERE'S I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY HAVEN'T AND HAVE A WAYNE. UH I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS I'D LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THIS, UM OKAY, SO. IN CODE ENFORCEMENT IT'S LIKE I SAID, YOU'RE PROVIDING A VERY UNIQUE SERVICE AND SO YOU KNOW, THE COLD COMPLIANCE OFFICER THEY TRY TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE PERSON THEY'RE RIDING UP AND SOMETIMES. THEY CAN'T SO WHAT THEY DO THEY POST THE NOTICE THEY POSED TO NOTICE ON THIS PLACARD AND THEY POSTED ON THE FRONT OF THEIR PROPERTY OKAY, AND SO. TO ME, THAT'S OVERT AND THAT IS NOTICE AND THEY ALSO COME BACK TO THE OFFICE AND DO IT AFFIDAVIT SWEARING THAT THEY POST THIS NOTICE IS A NICE PROPERTY ALSO HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF THE POSTING OF THAT. NOTICE AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST DON'T CALL YOU BACK YOU KNOW, AND I MEAN, IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW THAT BILL THAT YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO PAY AND WHEN THEY CALL YOU AND

[02:35:02]

TO GO TO EVERY SINGLE HOME. WITH THE NOTICE THEN THEN WE DO POST ON THE PROPERTY SO THEY'RE AWARE AT THAT POINT THAT THERE IS. PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVEN'T FOLLOWED THROUGH. IT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. AND WE WOULD HAVE NO IDEA OF SOMEONE HAD THE INABILITY TO READ OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEY REALLY SHOULD HAVE. GUARDIAN AD LITEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR BUSINESS. INSURERS OR ACTIVITIES PERSONAL HEALTH ALL ABOUT IT WOULDN'T JUST BE CODE ENFORCEMENT WELL I MEAN BUT THIS IS THIS IS THE RULES THAT WE HAVE TO PLAY BY.

AND YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND BOTH SIDES. I MEAN, I DO. BUT WE AT THE END OF THE DAY WE GOTTA WE GOTTA MAKE SURE WE FOLLOW THE LAW IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE MEANINGFUL. AND I GET THAT AND I'M AND I'M NOT TRYING TO SAY ANYBODY IS INCOMPETENT I AM SAYING THAT PEOPLE ARE FALLING IN THE CRACKS HERE APPARENTLY THIS GENTLEMAN BECAUSE TALKING ABOUT THE MAILING AND YOU DID

[02:40:03]

WHY DO YOU USE ONE? THEY? THEY'RE JUST THEY'RE JUST THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO NOTIFY THE PERSON I MEAN, YOU KNOW I MEAN, I CAN JUST TELL YOU I HAVE I'VE SERVED THESE NOTICES, GUYS, AND I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW, YOU GOT THE LAW THAT SAYS YOU GOTTA GIVE IT TO THE BUSINESS MANAGER OF. THE RIDE'S GROCERY STORE YOU WALK IN THERE AND GUESS WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THE MANTRAS AND GRINDS GROCERY STORE AND SO THERE'S JUST A PROCESS THAT COULD BE IMPROVED AND BUT WE'RE DOING WHAT WE CAN AND THANK YOU. AND JUST TO BEFORE MR DOUG GOES, UM I KNOW AND STOP STONE UM I DO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW THE GUARDIAN. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE REASON WHY I ASKED MR PEREZ AND I CAN I JUST TELL YOU MR PREZ THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, BECAUSE IT'S A HARD JOB PEOPLE UH YOU KNOW, ARE NOT SOMETIMES NICE TO YOU.

UM AND I KNOW YOU HAVE UH YOU HAVE A HARD TIME SOMETIMES UM BUT YOU KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THIS COMMUNITY GET. GET UM, CLEANED UP AND SO SOMETIMES IT IT HAPPENS AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I ASKED UH THE STAFF TO SEND OUT THE DARK. IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS A SEEING.

UM OUT OF MY OWN HER. I SAW PEOPLE THAT I KNEW, AND I CONTACTED THEM PERSONALLY AND TOLD HIM HEY CONTACT CODE ENFORCEMENT HERE'S THEIR THEIR NUMBER SO THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THIS INCIDENT. THAT'S. DO THAT TO ANY PERSON I KNOW THAT'S ON THAT DOG IT OUT OF MY OWN HEART. SO, UM. I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST IF YOU LOOK AT THE DOCKET CALL ANYBODY UP BECAUSE.

OUR STAFF IS FOLLOWING STATE STATUE. UM THERE'S NO ONE AT FAULT HERE. UM. YOU KNOW, STAFF IS DOING THEIR JOB AND THEY HAVE A HARD JOB AND YOU KNOW, HAVING UH AND THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY DON'T LET COUNCIL MEMBERS GO INTO CODE ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT DEAL. AND CODE ENFORCEMENT IS LIKE I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE THEY ALWAYS COME UP TO ME AND TELL ME AGAIN, YOU'LL HELP ME. I'M LIKE, NO, IT'S LIKE STATE VERSUS VERSUS YOU.

THE STATE IS THE VILLAGE. AND YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT YOURSELF I CAN TRY TO GUIDE YOU IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CALL ME. AND I'LL MAKE SURE THINGS YOU KNOW ARE YOU KNOW OUR STAFF HELPS YOU BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S NOT A MONEY MAKER FOR US WE WANT STUFF TO BE GET DONE. BUT WE HAVE TO ALSO THANK OUR STAFF BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING INCORRECTLY THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING BY LAW, STATE STATUE AND. SOMETIMES YOU KNOW, THEY GET THE BEATING OUT OF IT. I DON'T THINK I'D WANT TO WORK AS A CODE ENFORCER. UM, COUNCIL MEMBER STONE. AND THEN, MR DOUG. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, LET ME SAY. THANK YOU MR PEREZ. FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK, BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY JOB. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY WHERE I'M GOING TO ACTUALLY GIVE YOU ANOTHER ONE TOMORROW. BUT THAT BEING SAID, I JUST WANT TO SAY YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DOING A GOOD JOB AND THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN AND YOU WENT AND YOU APOLOGIZE AND YOU CAN'T ASK FOR MORE THAN THAT. ALL RIGHT SO I'M GOING TO BE BACK IN STAFF ON THIS AS FAR AS. YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. KEEP IT UP BECAUSE THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN, AND IF WE'RE NOT ON TOP OF IT. IT'S JUST GONNA GO BACK TO WHERE IT WAS WHEN MARTIN COUNTY WAS IN CONTROL OF IT, AND WE DON'T WANT THAT. SO JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING. COUNCILWOMAN GIRLS, THOMAS LET ME BE CLEAR I AM NOT TRYING TO BASH STAFF.

THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT THE REASON THAT I BRING THESE THINGS UP. THANK YOU GUYS.

SWEAR, CLARK. SO WAS THIS ONE. ISOLATED UM RESIDENT WITH THE COAT THIS ISSUE THAT YOU BROUGHT. MR BROWN, AND I'M JUST SAYING I MEAN, I KNEW A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE DOCKET WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED.
