The Council on Aging of Martin County Update by Ms. Karen Ripper

[00:05:08]

SO OUR VISION IS TO FIND A LARGER SPACE THAT'S CENTRALLY LOCATED. UM WE'VE CONTACTED SOME PEOPLE. PHYLLIS IS OUR ADULT DAYCARE DIRECTOR. AS YOU KNOW, PHYLLIS WATER'S BROWN.

SHE'S. VERY UM, PROMINENT OUT HERE AT INDIAN TOWN. MICHELLE JACOBS IS HERE. SHE'S OUR DIRECTOR OF PHILANTHROPY OR CHIEF PHILANTHROPIC OFFICER. SO WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO SOME FOLKS AND WE HAVE OUR EYES SET ON A COUPLE OF PLACES, BUT. HAVEN'T GOT MUCH FEEDBACK YET.

WE NEED ABOUT 3000 SQUARE FEET TO REALLY BE ABLE TO DO SOME OF THE PROGRAMMING THAT WE WANT TO DO. UM UH, SO HOPEFULLY THAT COMES TO FRUITION. WE'D LIKE TO PARTNER WITH YOU ALL ON SOME GRANTS, PERHAPS BECAUSE BEING A RURAL COMMUNITY AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S LOTS OF GRANTS OUT THERE, IN PARTICULAR FOR SENIORS AS WELL. WE WANT TO BRING IN MEMORY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMMING, PHYSICAL EXERCISE, ARTS AND MUSIC. WE WOULD HAVE A REGISTERED DIETITIAN OUT HERE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. UM CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT PROVIDING MEDICAL OVERSIGHT IF WE HAVE WITH THE MEMORY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMMING, IT WOULDN'T TRULY BE A DAYCARE BECAUSE, BUT IT WOULD BE, UM, FOCUSED AS A PROGRAM TO IMPROVE MEMORY. SO IT'S A LOT OF EDUCATION, BRAIN EXERCISES PHYSICAL EXERCISES, ACTIVITIES AND SO ON. AND THEN WE ALSO WANT TO HAVE A CASE MANAGER HERE 2 TO 3 DAYS A WEEK TO HELP PEOPLE THAT HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT. WHERE TO TURN TO, BECAUSE HOW MANY OF YOU ALL HAVE CARED FOR AN AGING PARENT? IT'S AS YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT AND WHO DO YOU TURN TO, AND THAT'S US AND WE WANT TO BE MORE PROMINENT OUT HERE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. SO I COME TO YOU TONIGHT TO ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT. AND HOPEFULLY, UM. YOU HAVE SOME IDEAS ABOUT SOME SITES? WE CAN WORK WITH YOU, UM.

ON GETTING THOSE SITES. WE CAN'T OF COURSE BUILD ANYTHING. WE WOULD LIKE TO GO INTO SOMETHING THAT IS ALREADY, UH, SUITABLE FOR WHAT WE WANT TO DO. UM SO WITH THAT I'LL OPEN TO I'LL BE OPEN TO QUESTIONS. BESIDES INDIAN TOWN, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE STEWART AND HOPE FOUND ON HAVING STRENGTHENING OUR PRESENCE AS WELL. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COUNCIL? YES, COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS. I DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I HAVE A COMMENT.

MY SISTER AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO TO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO TO GO TO THE CANE CENTER. AND TO TAKE THE CLASS THAT YOU HAVE ON DEMENTIA. AND WE TOOK IT. WE GOT OUR CERTIFICATE HAS OUR NAME ON IT WAS JUST THE HUGS PROGRAM. YES IT IS. YES, WE DID THAT WE WOULD OFFER THAT OUT HERE AS WELL. AND IT WAS REALLY AN EYE OPENER. AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT MY SISTER AND I ARE ABLE TO USE DAILY. NOW BECAUSE WE ARE DEALING WITH

[00:10:05]

AND THERE ARE SOME SOME PHILANTHROPIC PHILANTHROPIST THAT ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF INDIAN. HOW ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU. THANK YOU. JUST SO YOU KNOW, THE HUGS PROGRAM. THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT WE COLLABORATED WITH ALZHEIMER'S COMMUNITY CARE. WE RECEIVED $100,000 GRANT FROM THE FRANCES LAKE FOR FOUNDATION AT THE. MARTIN COUNTY ST LUCIE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. NONSENSE BUT ANYWAY, UM WE WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS MAKE MARTIN COUNTY DEMENTIA FRIENDLY. SO WE TAILORED CLASSES FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. FOR THE CITY OF STEWART. UM. FOR THE FIRE. FIRE RESCUE DEPARTMENT HAD IT. WE HAD IT. I HAVE THE CERTIFICATE AS WELL. YES SO WE HAD MANY, MANY PEOPLE THAT WE TAILORED SPECIFIC EDUCATION FOR HOW TO RECOGNIZE SOMEONE WITH DEMENTIA. HOW TO INTERACT WITH PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA. YOU'VE GOT A STICKER ON YOUR WINDOW IF YOU WERE A BUSINESS RESTAURANTS. PUBLICS SO WE STILL HAVE DONNA.

TRUE ON STAFF. SHE'S A LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER THAT HAD SET UP AND WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER AND I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE STAFF TO LOOK INTO GET TRAINING. FOR ARE PEOPLE IN DEALING WITH THE POPULATION THAT WE HAVE HERE. IN THAT AREA, SO WE WERE OUT OF INDIAN WOULD LAST WEEK. AND THE THING THAT WE HEARD MOST WAS WE HAVE PEOPLE HERE THAT WE KNOW NEEDS YOU, BUT IT'S JUST TOO FAR TO GO AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE BUSES OUT HERE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO OUR SITE AND THEN ALSO. TAKE PEOPLE TO THE MOTHERSHIP. THOSE THAT NEED MORE INTENSIVE SERVICES SO. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? YES, COUNSELOR STONE. SO THE FIRST THING IS, AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME PEOPLE OUT HERE THAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD. THE PROGRAM, AND I GUESS I GET I GET THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH THE BRANDS. BUT WHATEVER. LET'S SAY WORST CASE SCENARIO. YOU DON'T HAVE THE GRANTS. HOW ARE THEY GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT? AND HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST? SO WE? OF COURSE, EVERYTHING WE DO IS SLIDING SCALE AND THEN WE ALSO TURN TO GOVERNMENT GRANTS. TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR SERVICES SO THE MEAL IS FREE AS THROUGH OLDER AMERICANS AFTER THE MEAL THAT SERVED EVERY DAY, UM, BUT WE PLAN ON RAISING MONEY TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THAT IT CAN BE FREE FOR THOSE THAT NEED THAT CAN'T GIVE A DONATION TO COME. AND, UH. AS FAR AS A PLACE HAVE YOU CONSIDER MAYBE TALKING TO THE SCHOOL BOARD AS FAR AS THEY ARE? KOREA LEARNING CENTER. WE HAVE, UM AND, UM. UH PHYLLIS HAS BEEN WORKING WITH MARCIA POWER TALKING TO MARSHALL POWERS, AND I'VE WRITTEN SEVERAL EMAILS TO DR MALAY. UM DON'T HAVE A RESPONSE BACK YET. SO ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP US TO TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE IDEAL. AND IT'S BEEN SITTING VACANT FOR SEVEN YEARS. THERE'S ALSO I UNDERSTAND A COUNTY COMMISSION. BUILDING. SPACE MOVE THAT RIGHT. WE ASKED FOR. WELL, THEY MAY NOT GIVE YOU THAT ONE. BECAUSE I KNOW THEY'RE REMODELING IT FOR THE CLERK, I BELIEVE IS THAT BIG ENOUGH? THAT'S BIG ENOUGH SPACE. WHERE IS IT? HELP GOSHA. RIGHT SO I MEAN, I'M JUST WONDERING, YOU KNOW HOW THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WELL WE DON'T WANT MONEY TO BE AN ISSUE FOR PEOPLE. SO WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HAVE AND THERE ARE SOME AS I SAID SOME SAFETY NET PROGRAMS WE COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TO THE FEDS. YOU KNOW, WE CAN BE LICENSED FOR A SATELLITE ADULT DAYCARE. AND THAT'S A WHOLE NEW.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO DO THAT AT FIRST, BUT IT'S A WHOLE NEW REQUIREMENTS FROM THE AGENCY FOR HEALTHCARE ADMINISTRATION. BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S ACHIEVABLE.

AND YOU CAN CAN BE DONE IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU KNOW I HAVE

[00:15:04]

OUR BOARD IS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF DOING THIS AS WELL. AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO FP AND L AS WELL SO IF ANY OF YOU CAN, YOU KNOW, TURN I WE KNOW THE PUBLIC RELATIONS PEOPLE AND SO ON. BUT IF YOU HAVE AN INTIMATE ACQUAINTANCE THAT. WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HELPING INDIAN TOWN FOLKS. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH, KAREN. THANK YOU. OKAY? RIGHT? COMMENT. I'M JACKSON. YOU FINISH YOURS AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SEND IT ANY TIME.

[COMMENTS BY VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS]

HAVE A VERY SAFE HALLOWEEN. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN STONE. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR A SECOND MEETING BACK TO BACK. COUNCILWOMAN HERNANDEZ. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR JOINING.

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES CONTINUE AND TALLAHASSEE AS B 2 TO 4 HAS BEEN FILED, WHICH IS REGULATION WAS SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES. CURRENTLY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS DON'T HAVE A SAY IN REGARDS OF SMOKING AND POLICE BEACHES AND PARKS. I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO SEND EMAILS TO THE COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE, WHICH WILL HEAR THIS ON NOVEMBER 3RD 2021. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT STAFF SEND US AN UPDATED LIST OF EACH COUNCIL MEMBER SLASH CITIZENS THAT ARE ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEES OR BOARDS. I UNDERSTAND THAT MOST OF THE COUNCIL WORKS DURING THE DAY, BUT I THINK THAT THE REASON WHY WE CHOSE ALTERNATES WAS FOR THE ALTERNATIVE SHOW UP. UM SO. THAT'S MY TAKE ON THAT.

ADDITIONALLY I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE STAFF TO START THINKING ABOUT A COMMITTEE FOR WHEN WE DO START THE VILLAGE HALL. UM AND THERE HAS TO DO BE EVERYDAY DECISIONS IN REGARDS OF THAT, UM. WE HAVE A COMMITTEE WHERE, UM, THEY CAN YOU KNOW THEY CAN HELP US IN THAT BECAUSE WE ONLY MEET. TWICE EVERY MONTH, AND DECISIONS HAVE TO BE MADE. ON LIKE A WEEKLY BASIS. I'M GOING THROUGH THAT THROUGH THE CHURCH, SO I KNOW THAT. I ALSO WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE IS A NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE MARTIN MPO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN, WHICH WILL BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 28TH. 2022. THE PURPOSE OF THE HEARING IS TO OBTAIN INPUT ON THE MARTIN MPO DRAFT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLANT. THIS HEARING WOULD WILL BE HELD DURING THE REGULAR MEETING, WHICH BEGINS AT NINE A.M. IN THE COUNTY. UM IN THE COMMISSION. SETTING OR ROOM. I WILL ALSO SEND THIS TO STAFF IF THEY CAN PUT IT IN THE BLAST OR SOMEWHERE, UM, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, IT'S FOR THE WHOLE COUNTY. AND THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. VICE MAYOR. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. YOU KNOW, UH. AND OF COURSE, THINK OUR LOVE OUR PUBLIC FOR BEING HERE. I'M STAYING WITH US, UM LAST FRIDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, SOME OF THE COUNCIL OF MEMBERS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO OVER TO WAR FIELD. NON. TO GREET OUR RISING STARS IN ORDER AND IN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GOVERNMENTAL WEEK. AND I JUST WANTED TO THANK THEM. UM IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE THE THESE RISING STARS AND GET TO SEE THE PRINCIPAL AND EVERYBODY WAS JUST SO HAPPY. AND, UH AND I MEAN, IT WAS AN EXCITING TIME.

UM. I ALSO WANTED TO THINK WHICH I SAY THIS ALL THE TIME, BUT IT STILL HOLDS TRUE. UM YOU KNOW OUR STAFF. BECAUSE I WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH HOWARD BECAUSE I ASKED, YOU KNOW. HEY, CAN THEN YOU COME AND TAKE PHOTOS, YOU KNOW FOR US. UH AND AT 6 30. HE WAS THERE. BUT I THINK THAT IS, YOU KNOW, A TESTAMENT TO YOU KNOW THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE,

[00:20:08]

AND YOU KNOW, AND SO WHEN, WHEN I YOU KNOW WHEN I LOOK AT THE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE THAT I'VE LEARNED FROM, UM, FROM HOWARD. YOU KNOW IT. IT ALMOST MADE ME WANT TO GO BACK FOR MY MASTERS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION. NOT SO MUCH NOW. UM BUT BUT I THANK YOU FOR THAT, AND. YOU KNOW, AND THINKING ABOUT THAT EVENT. UM YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WERE AT WAR FIELD FOR THOSE TWO DAYS, I THINK ALL OF US. UM WENT OR, YOU KNOW, MAJORITY OF US WENT, YOU KNOW, I BEGAN TO THINK THAT IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER. AND. I KNOW IT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, BUT. UH AS I AS I REFLECTED ON ON FRIDAY, YOU KNOW, I SAID TO MYSELF, I REALLY ENJOYED THAT. I REALLY ENJOYED WHEN WE WOULD, UH, GO TO THESE EVENTS TOGETHER AND WE'RE DANCING. I GOT A VIDEO OF US AT ONE OF THE EVENTS AND ALL OF US, UM, ARE ENJOYING OURSELVES AND YOU KNOW, AND ENJOYING THAT MOMENT. YEAH. AND I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC IT COULD BECAUSE OF PERSONAL REASONS, WHATEVER, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE WE ALL HAVE KIND OF GOTTEN INTO A BUBBLE. YOU ON YOUR SIDE. I'M ON MY SIDE AND I'LL BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU I'M GUILTY OF IT. BUT I THINK AS ELECTED OFFICIALS.

AND WE HEARD I LISTENED TO THE CONVERSATIONS TODAY ABOUT WE DID A LOT OF FIRST WE'RE THERE'S SUCH A GREAT NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY. THAT WE HAVE TO REMIND OURSELVES THAT WE ARE ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE, UH, TO DO A JOB. AND WITH THAT, SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO TAKE OURSELVES OUT OF THE PICTURE. AND SEE WHAT'S BEST FOR INDIAN TOWN. AS YOU ALL KNOW, I WROTE A LETTER TO Y'ALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THAT'S THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS WE KEEP INDIAN TOWN AT THE FOREFRONT. WILL BE OKAY. AND SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WHEN WE KEEP INDIAN TOWN AT THE FOREFRONT, WE HAVE TO BE IN A POSITION. TO BE PREPARED, UH, TO SERVE THE PEOPLE. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE IS. I LISTENED TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE THAT, YOU KNOW THAT WE ASK, AND I'M LIKE, YEAH, WE GOT TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE. THAT REQUIRES US CHECKING OUR EMAILS. UH BEING PRESENT ALL OF THESE KIND OF THINGS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THAN THAT, I THINK IT IS. FOR OUR COMMUNITY SAKES, WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER.

UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE REALLY DO GET IN THE WAY AND THINGS REALLY, REALLY DO HAPPEN, BUT I THINK WE STILL HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO OUR FRIENDS. OUR FAMILY ARE OUR NEIGHBORS, UH, TO DO OUR BEST. UH HUH. WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH. I MEAN, WE JUST WE JUST WE PASS OUR L D.

R S WE WE'VE DONE SO MUCH AND IN MY HUMBLE OPINION IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. UM I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO OTHER MUNICIPALITY. THAT I KNOW OF, AND EVEN IN THIS COUNTRY WILL HAVE TO RESEARCH BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS NO OTHER MUNICIPALITY THAT'S DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING. AND I THINK THAT SHOWS OR IT SHOULD BE A TESTAMENT TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH, AND THIS IS HISTORIC. AND IN NATURE, IT IS HISTORIC FROM PURCHASING LAND TO WORK TO THE WATER COMPANY TO ROSE AND DRAIN. IT'S UH, SOME OF THESE ROLES YOU ALL KNOW HAVE NOT BEEN DONE SINCE I WAS A KID. AND UH, WE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THE LINK LINCOLN PROJECT. THE ROAD DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A FOUNDATION UNDERNEATH. AND SO YOU KNOW, AS WE AS WE

[00:25:07]

BUT WE GOT THROUGH IT. YOU KNOW, WE PASSED OUR FIRST. DEVELOPMENT AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE OPENING SOMETIME IN NOVEMBER. YOU KNOW THESE ARE THESE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING. UM, YOU KNOW, BUT WE CAN ONLY DO THEM. IF WE DO THEM TOGETHER. YOU KNOW, AND IN THE SAME VEIN WE CAN'T ALLOW OTHER FOLKS TO TRY TO DIVIDE THE PROGRESS THAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY. I UNDERSTAND THAT FOLKS DON'T WANT THINGS TO HAPPEN HERE. AS I MENTIONED IN THE OTHER MEETING. I WANT TO WANT TO, UH. PUT MY ROOTS DOWN HERE, BUT IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THERE IS NO THERE IS NO HOUSING. THERE'S NOT EVEN AN OPTION. FOR FOLKS TO EVEN CONSIDER AND SO. I SAY TO THIS COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, AS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD, LET US CONTINUE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING. AND I WANT REALLY WANT THE COUNCIL TO HEAR THIS. IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP YOU ALL BECAUSE WE ARE REALLY IN THIS IN THIS TOGETHER. AND YOU KNOW, I'VE WATCHED CERTAIN FOLKS COME INTO OUR CHAMBERS AND HAVE SAID SOME REALLY DISGUSTING THINGS TO US, UM AS THE LEADERS OF THIS COMMUNITY AND SO. IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP YOU ALL. I AM WILLING TO DO THAT AND READY. BECAUSE WHEN YOU SUCCEED AT WHAT YOU'RE DOING, I SUCCEED AT WHAT I'M DOING. I THINK WE'RE ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE. UM COUNCILS HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. AND AS A RESULT, WE REPRESENTS THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY. AND SO AGAIN, I SAY IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP YOU ALL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. AND WITH THAT I YIELD. THANK YOU. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY GOOD EVENING TO EVERYONE. THANK YOU ALL FOR STAYING WITH US. I WANT TO THANK MR BROWN FOR REACHING OUT TO THE PRINCIPAL AT WAR FIELD WHEN I ASKED HIM TO ACCIDENT COULD.

THE COUNCIL COME AND JOIN THEM IN OUR FIRST, UH, CITY GOVERNMENT WEEK. UH AND THEY ACCEPT IT, AND I THINK ALL THE STAFF WHO WAS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE. AND I PURCHASE SURE EVERYONE CAN AGREE THAT WE WERE. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO OPEN THE DOORS FOR OUR FUTURE LEADERS IN THIS COMMUNITY, AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE STAFF. AS WELL. AND I WENT TO A MEDIAN. I'M AN ADVOCATE. I WOULD REPRESENTATIVE TOBY OVER IT OFF. SO IN THE FUTURE, THERE IS A BILL IT HAS NO NAME. FOR ANYTHING IF IT GET PAST THIS APOLOGIES OR CITIES DO, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE AN ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY TO GO WITH THAT IN THE FUTURE? AND ALSO, UM UH, THE SENATE. IS WORKING ON A BILL FOR, UH, YOU NEED A 5 TO 10 20 YEAR PLAN FOR YOUR STORMWATER, LAYING IT OUT OF WHAT IS GOING TO BE LIKE IN ORDER FOR THE SENATE. TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT WHAT IT IS THAT YOU'RE DOING. SO THAT'S WHAT I GOT OUT THE AFRICA C MEETING THAT I WENT TO YESTERDAY ON BEHALF OF THE VILLAGE. THAT I REPRESENT. AND ONE LAST THING I WILL BE AT WAR FIELD ELEMENTARY NEXT TUESDAY, THERE WAS A SECOND GRADER WHO WOULD LIKE TO MEET ME. HER MOM REACHED OUT TO ME ON FACEBOOK, AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT. YOU KNOW, WHEN IT COMES TO KIDS, YOU WANT TO BE MESSING WITH KIDS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE NOBODY DIDN'T HAPPEN MY PAGE FOR REAL. BUT IT'S TRUE. SO I'LL BE WAITING TO GIVE DANIEL THE TIME AND, UH I'M EXCITED. I GOT A SECOND GRADER. WHO WROTE AN ESSAY. OF WHAT IF SHE WAS THE MAYOR, SO I'M EXCITED AND I'M JUST WAITING FOR THE TIME FRAME AND I HAVE MORE DETAILS TO COME. I'M ALSO DOING A PROJECT WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. THANK YOU. I YIELD ALRIGHT,

[COMMENTS BY VILLAGE MANAGER]

[00:30:01]

SAY AGAIN AND SPANISH ALSO. WE AIM TO PLEASE, MA'AM. OKAY SO MOST THINGS WE PUT OUT IS IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. AND SO THAT'S BEEN OUR PRACTICE AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. SO UM, ALSO, UH, DARRIN, I THINK COUNCILMAN STONE AT OUR LAST MEETING, TALKED ABOUT CAUSE YOU KNOW, LIKE. VISUALS. YOU KNOW WHERE THE CURRENT TRAJECTORY IS, AND THAT KIND OF THING. I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT DANIEL AND DEER AND THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSING THIS ON THAT LOCATION, AND, UH, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT RIGHT NOW. HOPEFULLY, YOU'LL SEE SOME CHANGES AT OUR NEXT MEETING. UH, UH AND I ALSO LIKE TO, UH, FLOAT TO FLOAT AN IDEA TO THE COUNCIL ABOUT A PROJECT. I WAS TALKING WITH COUNCILMAN STONE. ABOUT THE WHOLE, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO SEAL. WE NEED A WE NEED A VILLAGE SEAL, YOU KNOW, PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED IN HIS ROOM. AND SO I THOUGHT, MAYBE YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THE COUNCIL IT'S GOT A WOOD SHOP. WE COULD PUT TOGETHER LIKE A PROJECT WE COULD, YOU KNOW, PAY FOR LIKE WOOD. AND WE CAN WORK ON SOMETHING TOGETHER THAT WE COULD HAVE THAT WE CAN PUT TOGETHER AND GET TO THE COUNCIL. AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS OKAY WITH THE COUNCIL AS WE PROCEED. I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO PUT TOGETHER I CALL IT WOULD PROJECT. WELL SINCE RETURNING IN COLLEGE WE USED TO DO THESE WOULD PROJECTS AND, UH THEY CAN BE VERY VALUABLE AND SENTIMENTAL. BECAUSE LET'S SAY THAT THIS COUNCIL PUTS TOGETHER A PROJECT TOGETHER, THEN THE NEXT COUNCIL, THEY CAN DO THEIR OWN PROJECT, AND SO IT WILL HAVE SENTIMENTAL VALUE AS YOU GROW. AND, UH YOU KNOW, I'VE WORKED IN SOME VERY OLD. CITY HALLS AND IT'S YOU. YOU KNOW, THIS IS HOW WE JUST BUILD YOU KNOW, HISTORY HERE. AND I THOUGHT, MAYBE THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT THIS COUNCIL COULD WORK ON. AND I WANNA KNOW IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU. YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER NOW. I'LL FIND OUT LATER. UM PUT IT ON THE LASTLY, OUR FINANCIAL UPDATE IS NOT ON HIS AGENDA, OKAY? WE ARE INTERIM FINANCE DIRECTOR. HIS NAME IS ROBERT BUSH'S OUT ON MEDICAL RIGHT NOW. HE SHOULD BE BACK NEXT WEEK, BUT I PLAN TO SEND OUT WHAT I DO HAVE. I DO HAVE SOME, UH, SEPTEMBER. FINANCIAL UPDATE AND I'LL GET THAT OUT TO YOU GUYS PRETTY QUICK. I'D LIKE TO ALSO TALK ABOUT MR ALEXIS THAT SPOKE EARLIER, MR ALEXIS JOE ALEXIS FROM BOOKER PARK THAT'S DOING THE TRUNK OR TREAT. HE DID COME BY THE OFFICE LAST WEEK AND ASKING FOR US TO PARTICIPATE, AND I'M GLAD THAT HE CAME BECAUSE THE STAFF DIRECT HIM TO COME. TO THE COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT. AND UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE BIGGEST THING THEY NEED IS CANDY. LAST YEAR. WE WERE ABLE TO GET DONATION FROM YOU ARE SUGAR AND THEY PROVIDED CANDY. I THINK WE ALSO BOUGHT SOME CANDY WHEN WE HAD THE. THE TRUNK OR TREAT.

WHAT WAS THE TRUCK DRIVER TO DRIVE THROUGH? THINK SO. IF IT'S OKAY WITH THE COUNCIL, IS IT OKAY FOR US TO BUY SOME CANDY FOR THESE KIDS? UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT MONEY.

IT'S JUST OUT OF. YOU KNOW IT'S MONEY THAT WE'RE GOING TO SPEND, BUT IT'S NOT. WE'RE NOT GIVING CASH MONEY. WE WERE BUYING SOMETHING. JUST BE LIKE AN IN KIND DONATION, SO SAY AGAIN.

FOR BUYING LIKE CANDY. YEAH, THAT'S YOUR PRODUCT. SPLIT. UH, JUST TRYING TO SEE I THINK WHAT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER IF HE GET SOME BAGS? I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU COULD GET THEM WITH THE VILLAGE C OR S SUNDAY SUNDAY. DUDE THIS IS SUNDAY. THE END OF THE MONKEY SCOUT.

JUST WONDER. COULD WE SEE SOME OF THAT CANDIDATE WITH, UH. BY PROCEDURES IN THE NATIONAL THEY HAVE, AND IT'S A LOT GOING ON THIS WEEK IN THE VILLAGE WITH TRUNK RETREAT. WELL I TOLD HIM, YOU KNOW I DIDN'T TELL HIM BUT SOMEBODY IN OUR OFFICE TOLD HIM YOU KNOW THE BEST WAY TO GET TO DO THIS. THIS COMPANY COUNCIL MEETING ON THE 20TH THAT WAS LIKE THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY.

AND SO, UM, I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF IT'S OKAY FOR US TO DO SOMETHING FROM THE VILLAGES STANDPOINT. I KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ALREADY STATED WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO, AND THAT'S FINE. BUT I NEVER GOT BACK WITH MR ALEXIS BECAUSE I WANT TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT THIS FIRST. OKAY? ALL RIGHT. THE COUNCILWOMAN JUST TALKED ABOUT.

Appointment of Auditor Selection Committee

THE VILLAGES CHARTER REQUIRES THAT YOU DO AN ANNUAL AUDIT EVERY YEAR AND. WHEN WE STARTED THE VILLAGE. WE UM DIDN'T OUR P AND WE SELECTED MALDON AND JENKINS. THEY CURRENTLY ARE AUDITORS. AND UH THEN BLOCK CHANGED, I GUESS BACK IN 2020. GO LARGE CHANGE, AND IT REQUIRES NOW THAT THE GOVERNING BODY AND OTHERS SERVED ON THAT COMMITTEE AND. YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO MY LAPTOP DIED, BUT BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT NEEDS TO BE THAT NEED TO BE ON THE COMMITTEE AND I WOULD ASK THAT WE HAVE ONE PERSON FROM THE COUNCIL CHAIR OF THIS AUDIENCE COMMITTEE, THE SELECTION COMMITTEE. AND SO I WANT TO HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH YOU GUYS ABOUT IT. AND THEN ON NOVEMBER 18TH, I'D BRING BACK AN ITEM TO THE AGENDA ITEM.

BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR APPROVED RATIFICATION. AND, UH WELL. AT THAT TIME. SO REQUIRES, UH I'M SORRY I HAD TO SECOND. JUST ADD TO THAT THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS REQUIRE THAT ONE MEMBER FROM THE GOVERNING BODY SERVE AS CHAIR AND THERE NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST THREE MEMBERS ON THE COMMITTEE. SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS COUNCIL CONSIDERING WHO THEY WANT AS

[00:40:03]

YES SO I THINK WHAT WE COULD DO IS SINCE THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME. WHEN DOES THIS NEED TO BE? THIS WON'T NOTHING WON'T HAPPEN UNTIL QUICKLY. WE NEED IT LIKE YESTERDAY. HMM. SOME ONE TIME DEAL. WE'LL GET THE AUDIT ONCE A YEAR, RIGHT? WELL WE WOULD HAVE A MULTIYEAR CONTRACT SO THE COMMITTEE WOULDN'T BE MEETING EVERY YEAR. WHENEVER WE GO BACK OUT TO BID. WE WILL NEED ANOTHER SELECTION COMMITTEE. WE WOULD APPOINT NEW COMMITTEE SO IT RESET. HOW MANY? HOW MANY MEETINGS? ONE. BE HEALTHY IF YOU WANTED ONE TO JUST A COUPLE. YEAH. IS IT DURING THE DAY OR GOING TONIGHT? THEY'RE TYPICALLY DURING THE DAY BECAUSE TYPICALLY THERE JUST STAFF MEMBERS. OKAY IF WE HAVE PEOPLE FROM THE PUBLIC AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THERE MIGHT BE SOME EVENING MEETINGS. SO WAIT AND HE THOUGHT WAS THE NORM OR MR BROWN. UH YOU KNOW, USUALLY WHO SITS ON IT, OR IS IT JUST US CHOOSING SOME AMONGST OURSELVES? ACTUALLY, ME SO RIGHT AND. AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. I THINK MAYBE SINCE THIS IS LIKE OUR FIRST TIME, MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS SIT ON THEIR WHAT IS REQUIRED. YAHOO ONLY 111 IS GOING TO BE THE CHAIR RIGHT? RIGHT BUT ONLY ONE IS REQUIRED TO BE ON THERE. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING. IS THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE OUR YOU KNOW, COUNCIL MEMBERS DO THAT. YOU KNOW, SIR FOR THIS FIRST TERM, YOU KNOW, FIRST GO AROUND SO THAT WE GET THE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S HAPPENING. AND, YOU KNOW, BE A PART OF THAT PROCESS AND THEN DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THIS IS. UH WHEN THIS HITS US AGAIN, THEN WE'LL HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS AND WE KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. SO UH, I HEARD, UM STONE SAID THAT HE'LL HE'LL SERVE I'M WILLING TO SERVE IF ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO.

YEAH, YOU. MR ROLES HAVE SOMETHING TO YES. WAIT. WHAT'S THE NORM? OH, YEAH. JUST JUST GIVE YOU A LITTLE CONTEXT AS EVERYBODY IS MENTIONED. THE STATUES BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME.

Volunteer Program for High School Students to Receive Volunteer Hours by Working at the Village of Indiantown

UM, HOWEVER, I DON'T THINK THAT WE ARE. OUT OF PLACE TO DO THAT NOW. UM, SO WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS MAYBE HAVE THESE STUDENTS. IF SOMEBODY COMES THROUGH THE OFFICE, WE CAN KIND OF FILTER IT TO OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS. AND MAYBE WHATEVER THEY GOT GOING ON EVENTS OR OR, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL MEETINGS. THEY CAN COME AND THEN BASICALLY SHADOW UNTIL WE'RE IN A POSITION TO, UM. ACTUALLY HAVE, YOU KNOW WORK TO DO FOR THESE FOLKS? BECAUSE YOU KNOW, UH, THEY ARE OUR FUTURE, AND IF THEY'RE INTERESTED WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A PLACE FOR THEM. BUT WE WANT TO DO IT TO WHERE. THE STAFF ISN'T BEING UM, OUT WITH WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE DOING SO AND WE COULD START. WITH ITS INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS. SO WHEN THE REQUEST COMES. UM YOU KNOW, YOU FINALLY WENT TO A COUNCIL MEMBER AND, YOU KNOW.

THEN WE CAN, YOU KNOW, DO PROJECTS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH, SO THAT THAT'S MY TAKE.

ANY OTHER CHALLENGES OF COUNCILMAN STONE. QUICK QUESTION FOR I GUESS, MR BROWN.

MR BROWN. I KNOW YOU GET THIS QUESTION A LOT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME DOES STAFF. HAVE YOU TALKED TO STAFF ABOUT IT AT ALL? OR. YOU KNOW, I NEVER BRAINCHILD CAME FROM. NO I HAVEN'T. I HAVEN'T. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYONE ON STAFF ABOUT IT. OKAY, SO THE REASON WHY I'M ASKING BECAUSE I MEAN, TO ME. IT'S FREE LABOR AND IT IS AND HOW YOU CAN GET FREE LABOR.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE, HEY, WHY NOT? UM. I MEAN, MAYBE WE COULD JUST ASK STAFF QUICK QUESTION AS FAR AS YOU KNOW. IS IT POSSIBLE? MAYBE YOU GUYS COULD USE THEM FOR HEY, GO MAKE A COPY. CAN YOU GRAB ME A COFFEE OR WHATEVER THE CASE IS, I MEAN, YOU KNOW I'M JUST SAYING.

WELL YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MANY WAYS YOU CAN USE THESE. THESE THESE YOUNGSTERS WHEN THEY COME IN. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S ONE WAY. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE COULD. WE COULD USE THEM TO DO CERTAIN THINGS. UM BECAUSE I MEAN, IF ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE A TEENAGER IN THE DRIVES, YOU KNOW MAYBE YOU WANT THEM UP. DROP SOMETHING OFF AT GOOGLE PARK OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RESTRICTIONS ARE BUT I'M JUST SAYING IF YOU COULD GET VOLUNTEERS TO DO STUFF. WHY NOT? COUNCILWOMAN STONE. I MISSED. YES, THOMAS. SPENT ALONG THAT THANK YOU, UM. AND I APPRECIATE BOTH OF THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS. AND I GUESS I'M KIND OF IN BETWEEN THERE BECAUSE YEAH, IT'S GREAT AND WONDERFUL IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A VOLUNTEER. BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THINGS IN ORDER TO KEEP THEM BUSY. CONSISTENTLY. UM AND IT WOULD PROBABLY I SAY PROBABLY, I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT MAY BE MORE WORK ON THE STAFF TO COME UP WITH THINGS IN ORDER TO GET THEM. SCHEDULE OF THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE DOING EVERY DAY. THIS IS YOU KNOW, HOWEVER MANY TIMES A WEEK. THIS IS HOURS OF A WEEK. YOU'LL BE HERE.

THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING IT MAYBE MORE. OF A PROBLEM FOR THEM TO KEEP THEM BUSY. THEN WHAT? THERE IS ACTUALLY BUSY WORK FOR THEM TO DO. UM IT'S A GREAT IDEA AND A SPECIAL EVENTS THING. UM, WITH THEIR MAYBE, UM OPPORTUNITIES. WHEN WE DO A SPECIAL EVENT, OR WE HAVE SOMETHING HAPPENING TO HAVE THIS VOLUNTEER HOURS THAT PEOPLE WOULD OR STUDENTS WOULD BE ABLE TO COME IN, AND WE WOULD BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THEM AND THOSE INSTANCES. UM THERE IS THERE. THERE'S A HAPPY MEDIUM IN THERE SOMEWHERE. I THINK THAT WE ARE. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT YEAH, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO UTILIZE VOLUNTEERS. PRE LABOR FREE LABOR. UM OH,

[00:50:07]

GREAT GREAT SUGGESTIONS. UH, FROM MY ISLANDS. I'M LOOKING AT PARTNER WITH KOREA SERVICE, TURNING INTO A JOB PROGRAM FOR THE KIDS TO EARN SOME MONEY INSTEAD OF FREE LABEL, BUT WE CAN GET SOME FREE LABOR OUT OF IT I MEAN, THAT'S JUST MY VISION. WE USED TO HAVE YOU JOB PROGRAMS. IN THE VILLAGE. I THINK THAT WOULD BE A BIG ACCESS TO THE COMMUNITY. UH BUT THIS DEFINITELY GOT TO BE PLANNED OUT. YOU KNOW, UH, COULD USE THE VOLUNTEER HOURS.

SO WE JUST IN DISCUSSION, BUT, YOU KNOW, DEPENDS ON WHICH DEPARTMENT NEED THE MOST HELP.

AND LIKE, UH, YOU KNOW, COUNCILWOMAN SAID, IF YOU'VE GOT A SCHEDULE LAID OUT, YOU WANT TO HAVE THE SCHEDULE IT OUT FOR YOU BRING THE KIDS. YOU DON'T WANT THE KIDS COMING AND THEN YOU GOTTA FIND SOMETHING FOR THEM TO DO IS ALREADY NEEDS TO BE PLAYING AHEAD OF TIME.

BUT I WOULD ASK THE STAFF BECAUSE I DON'T SEE US, YOU KNOW, JUMPING INTO NOTHING REAL SOON. I'M THINKING ABOUT A PARTNERSHIP WITH CAREER SOURCE. TO TURN SUMMER JOBS INTO THIS IN THE LONG TERM. THAT'S MY PERSPECTIVE. VICE MAYOR. OH, NO. THAT THAT WAS MY, UM THAT WAS MY. DOES YES, IT IS HOW YOU KNOW. UH ITEM ANYMORE. I'M SORRY. GO COUNCIL. WELL, ACTUALLY, UM. COUNCILWOMAN HERNANDEZ BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT AS FAR AS YOU KNOW. EIGHT KIND OF TRIGGERS SOMETHING THAT LET'S FACE IT TO SOME OF THESE KIDS. THEY MAY NOT END UP GOING TO COLLEGE.

BEING HIRED WORKING AT THE PARKS DEPARTMENT AND JUST CONTINUE ON DOING WHAT THEY'RE DOING. AND NOT ONLY THAT. AH MADAM MAYOR. THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WE ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER. THIS IS VOLUNTEER HOURS, AND I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED VOLUNTEER HOURS IF THEY'RE GETTING PAID FOR IT. I SAID IN THE LONG TERM YOU CAN TRY. YOU STILL CAN HAVE VOLUNTEERS, WHILE SOME OF THEM. AS THEY PROGRESS DEPENDS ON HOW MANY YEARS THEY BE IN THERE. YOU WANT TO, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW THEY EARNED IN THE HOURS, BUT. THOUGHT WE USED TO HAVE THOSE PROGRAMS RIGHT SO THEY COULD WORK TO FOLD. MAKES SENSE. COOL. OKAY? ANY PUBLIC DISCUSSION. ALL RIGHT, UH, HOW TO NUMBER FIVE VILLAGE MENU ITEM NUMBER FIVE. MADAM MAYOR

Hiring an In-House Senior Planner in Lieu of Using Consultants

[00:55:07]

YES UM, IN THE FIRST YEAR, IT STATED THAT IT WAS 96,000 NEXT YEAR, IT DROPPED DOWN TO 56.

WHY WHAT? WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE? YEAH I THINK I THINK THAT $96,000 INCLUDES LIKE EVERYTHING IN THAT DEPARTMENT. $56,000 IS WHAT WE ACTUALLY PAID THAT 96,000.

THOUSANDS LIKE THE WHAT THE BUDGET WAS FOR THAT FOR THAT YEAR. SPENT 96,000. OH, THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS. OH, THAT WAS BONNIE'S SALARY, BUT THAT MONEY SALARY. OKAY WITH THAT BEING SAID IT SO I DON'T THANK YOU, MINISTER DONALD FOR GETTING THIS DONE.

SO UH, FOR FEASIBILITY STUDY, I THINK FEASIBLE. I THINK WE NEED TO KEEP IT MOVING. THE WAY WE ARE. DON'T THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH DATA. DO WE HAVE A LOT? I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A BIG TURN AWAIT FOR PEOPLE GET THEIR PERMITS OR WHATEVER THE PLANNING, DO WE, MISS JEFFERSON? WHAT WE BENEFIT FROM THIS. AT THIS MOMENT? YEAH I DON'T THINK SO. I COULD I COULD JUST TELL YOU WHAT I'VE HEARD. UM YOUVE HAD A NUMBER A NUMBER, MAYBE LESS THAN A HANDFUL OF FOLKS THAT SAID THAT THERE'S BEEN A WEIGHT. FOR SOMEONE TO DO A COMPLETENESS. CHECK ON SOME MEDALS, BUT NOT A LOT. NOT A LOT. YOU KNOW THREE PEOPLE. THREE IF THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN A YEAR. THIS IS NOT. URGENT AND, UM, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW OUR CONSULTANTS IN THE OFFICE I THINK ONCE A WEEK. AND SO IT'S NOT A LONG TIME, IF DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU'RE SUBMITTING, AND DEPENDING ON THEIR IS AVAILABLE, OBVIOUSLY SHE CAN DEAL WITH IT. IF SHE'S FREE, AND SHE CAN, SHE CAN DEAL WITH IT AND THERE WILL BE THERE WILL BE TIMES WHERE SHE CAN DO IT. RIGHT INTO IT RIGHT THEN, BUT SOMETIMES CAN'T HAPPEN. SO. AND USUALLY SHE DOESN'T BUY APPOINTMENTS AND SHE DOESN'T BUY A POINT. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE. HE WOULD EXPECT THAT THEY WALK IN. THEY'LL BE ATTENDED. BUT SOMETIMES OUR STAFF HAVE OTHER THINGS. AND SO THAT'S WHY THEY REQUEST. BY APPOINTMENTS TO HELP SPEED THE PROCESS, SO WE. I'M SORRY, MAYOR. AND SO WHEN THINGS PICK UP, YOU KNOW WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, UH, GARCIA PROPERTY GROUP DEVELOPMENT. IF THAT HAPPENS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE STARTS HAPPENING, THEN YOU KNOW, WE'LL BE BACK WITH YOU

Community and Economic Development Department Update

I HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE GOAL WAS EVERY WORKSHOP. WE WOULD HAVE A DEPARTMENT COME IN AND JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON THAT DEPARTMENT. SO IF THE COUNCIL HAD QUESTIONS, THEY COULD ASK QUESTIONS AT THAT TIME AND SO UH, WHILE DEPENDING ON HOW WE MOVE WORKSHOPS, BUT THIS IS ON OUR WORKSHOP SCHEDULE, SO WE HAD PLANNED ON PUTTING THIS UPDATE ON THERE.

WE DO HAVE A POWER POINT PRESENTATION.

I HAVE A COPY IN HERE. IS IT IN THE PACKAGE? CLOSE IT IN THE BACK. OF COURSE IT'S SO ONLINE.

PULLING IT OUT. AT IT.

STEP BACK FROM. JUST GET STARTED WITHOUT IT. THEY TELLING YOU THAT THE I'M SORRY.

NO. UNTIL YOU'RE.

HE PLEASE DON'T DROP THAT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT BUYING APPLE COMPUTER SHALL NOT, UH, CAN YOU JUST GET THIS FINGER TOUGH BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DROP TO HIS COMPUTER, YOU KNOW? AND SHE SAYS THE VILLAGE THOSE ARE HELPING DRIVE. WELL GOOD EVENING OUT THE EDGE JEFFERSON, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WE'RE SO PLEASED TO BRING TO YOU AN UPDATE OF WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN THE VILLAGE. I WANTED TO START BY FIRST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THE DEPARTMENT CONSISTS OF PLANNING AND ZONING. WE HAVE IT OUT.

PLANNING AND ZONING AS WELL AS CO COMPLIANCE. IN ADDITION TO THAT WE HAVE BUILDING AND INSPECTION SERVICES, UH, FOR PERMITS. AND WE ALSO HAVE, UH, CERTIFICATE OF USE WHERE WE WORK WITH THE LOCAL BUSINESSES AS THEY RECEIVE THEIR BTR S FROM THE COUNTY. AND ALSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. I WANTED TO START OUT BY GIVING YOU AN OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE TYPES OF PROJECTS AND WHERE WE ARE WITH DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS. UH MOST OF YOU ARE ALL OF YOU.

I THINK SO. THIS PRESENTATION AT THE JOINT COMMITTEE MEETING WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD. WE WANT TO JUST TAKE NOTE, UH, WHAT WE HAVE IN CUBE NEXT LINE. I'M SORRY. GO BACK, SO LET ME BRIEFLY JUST SAY. WE HAVE SEVERAL PROJECTS ON CUE. IF YOU LOOK AT THAT AREA, THE KIND OF LIKE ORANGE HOPEFULLY YOU CAN READ THAT SOME WHAT WE HAVE. WE HAVE MANY UNITS COMING IN,

[01:05:04]

CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW. WE HAVE INDIAN TOWN GO KART, WHICH IS A TRAINING FACILITY FOR GO KART RACERS. IT WOULDN'T BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. BUT UM, IT WOULD BE A TRAINING FACILITY FOR PROFESSIONALS. WE HAVE GRIND HARD AMMUNITION. AND WE ALSO HAVE RCC CONSTRUCTION. UH BOTH LOCATED IN INDUSTRIAL AREAS. NEXT SLIDE. IN OUR CODE COMPLIANCE. DIVISION. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT OUR FOCUS FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS HAS BEEN ADDRESSING IS THAT DROVE AROUND THE VILLAGE. I NOTICED THAT WE HAD SEVERAL. RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES AS WELL AS COMMERCIAL THAT WEREN'T PROPERLY DISPLAYING THEIR ADDRESSES. OR THEY HAD NO ADDRESS. THE NUMBERS WERE TOO SMALL OR THE NUMBERS WERE PAINTED THE SAME COLOR. AS THE STRUCTURE AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE IF SOMEONE CALLS MY MOM ONE THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROPERTY. SO WE HAVE GOTTEN SOME REALLY GREAT RESPONSE TO THOSE WHO REALIZED THAT IT WAS, YOU KNOW, A BIT EGREGIOUS. AND FOR PEOPLE THAT OWN MULTIPLE RENTAL PROPERTIES. THEY'RE ACTUALLY REDOING ALL OF THEIR PROPERTIES TO MEET THE CODE. IN TERMS OF COMMUNITY RELATIONS ARE CO COMPLIANCE OFFICER HAS ON OCCASION. UH BEEN VISITING OUR LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS AS WELL AS PROPERTY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. AND RESIDENCIES TO SAY THANK YOU, UH, FOR HOW THEY'RE KEEPING THEIR PROPERTIES IF HE NOTICES THAT I BUSINESS HAS PAINTED THEIR BUILDING OR RESTRIKE THEIR PARKING LOT. OR ADDED NEW LANDSCAPING. HE'S TAKING NOTICE OF THAT AND MAKING ONE ON ONE CONTACT WITH THE PERSON I'M PROPERTY TO SAY THANK YOU. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT STAFF IS DRAFTING A. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE ORDINANCE THAT WE HOPE TO BE BRINGING TO YOU WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. RIGHT NOW WE'RE OPERATING. OFF OF THE MARTIN COUNTY CODE IN THE TRANSITION CODE, AND TO BE HONEST, IT'S NOT SUFFICIENT FOR OUR NEEDS HERE, SO WE'RE HOPING TO GET THAT DONE PRETTY QUICKLY. IN TERMS OF, UH, THE BUILDING AND PERMITTING SERVICES. SO FAR THIS CALENDAR YEAR. WE'VE HAD 250 APPLICATIONS. 246 OF THOSE RECEIVED THIS YEAR ARE ACTIVE.

AND FEES COLLECTED FOR THOSE ARE AT. 86,470 AND REMEMBER, THIS ISN'T. FOR FISCAL YEARS, CALENDAR YEAR NUMBERS AND TOTAL CONSTRUCTION VALUATION FOR PERMITS PULLED. THIS YEAR HAS BEEN 15,335,000. WHICH IS CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN WHAT WE COLLECTED IN 2020. UM A TOTAL.

I'M SORRY. CONSTRUCTION VALUATIONS IN 2020 WAS FOUR MILLION. 500,000. SO WE'RE GETTING BIGGER PROJECTS. UH, VALUED AT. LARGER NUMBERS. I JUST WANT TO ASK THE QUESTION.

SO YOU GO FOR THAT 15 MILLION YOU NEED TO CLARIFY. WE NOT RECEIVING ALL THAT MONEY.

[01:10:07]

LIST COMMERCE AND ON THE STAFF. I THINK MARTIN COUNTY HAS THAT. YEAH, AUTOMATICALLY LIKE SPIT OUT WHAT. YEAH WE'RE WORKING ON IT. THE YOU JUST ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. UH MAYOR CLARKE, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE. THE IMPACT FEES AND SO. THE MATERIALS ALL OF THE IMPACT FEES EXCEPT FOR THE WATER AND SEWER IMPACT FEES GO DIRECTLY TO MARTIN COUNTY. AND SO WE'RE WORKING ON TRYING TO GET THAT CHANGED. IT'LL TAKE SOME TIME. HOPEFULLY THE CONSULTANT WILL FINISH THEIR THEIR DELIVERABLE AND HAVE IT TO US IN THE NEXT. AND YOU EVEN THEY'LL PROBABLY GET HERE INTO THE YEAR AND THE YEAR FIRST QUARTER, SO WE'LL HAVE IT BEFORE THE COUNCIL TO APPROVE SO WE CAN START GETTING THOSE IMPACT FEES REDIRECTED HERE. THE VILLAGE. UH THE OTHER THING IS THE STATE MANDATES SHE'S TALKING ABOUT. YOU KNOW WHAT SHE'S REALLY SAYING IS, WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE ONLINE EVERYTHING PRETTY MUCH REQUIRED BY THE STATE NOW AND SO OBVIOUSLY THERE'S NO MONEY IN THE BUDGET FOR THAT, AND MOST MUNICIPALITIES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STATE ARE DEALING WITH THESE UNFUNDED MANDATES. THAT'S WHY THEY CALL UNFUNDED BECAUSE THERE'S NO MONEY TO PAY FOR THESE THINGS. SO WHAT ARTWORK AROUND OPTION IS JUST DECEIVING YOU BET YOU YOU APPROVE THE CLARION, WHICH IS THE PROGRAM MANAGER FOR THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN FUNDS, AND SO WE. I SAY WE I BELIEVE THAT WILL BE ABLE TO USE THOSE FUNDS TO PAY FOR A COMPUTER PROGRAM OR TARP TO AUTOMATE ALL OF THIS AND MORE AND SO HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT.

MONTH OR TWO. WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING BEFORE YOU IN TERMS OF BUYING TECHNOLOGY TO ADDRESS ALL OF THIS WILL HAVE ONLINE PERMITTING. PEOPLE WON'T HAVE TO COME IN HERE. THEY CAN. THEY CAN DO IT ALL ON ONLINE. MOST OF IT DON'T. I THINK THE MAJORITY OF IT ONLINE. BUT ONLINE BILL PAYMENTS I MEAN, WE CAN TAKE PAYMENTS RIGHT NOW. NOT ONLINE, BUT NOT ONLINE.

YEAH. AND IT'S SYSTEM FOLLOWS. WHEN WHEN ARE BUILDING GET BUILT? RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. IT'LL BE ALL WEB PAGE. ALL WEB BASED. REALLY I'M SORRY. HEALTHIER THANK YOU, FELLAS, MANAGERS, SO OTHER STATE MANDATES. UM MOST OF THEM FELL WITHIN THE PLANNING AND ZONING. AREA WE DID HAVE ONE NEW ONE IN CO COMPLIANCE THAT CONSISTED OF, UM, CHANGING THE LAW ABOUT.

ANONYMOUS PHONE CALLS TO REPORT A ISSUE. AND ON THE PLANNING SIDE, THERE'S QUITE A FEW AND

[01:15:05]

UH THERE'S QUITE A FEW MORE SO YOU'LL START TO SEE MORE AND MORE, UH, ER TEXT AMENDMENTS.

AND THE HOME BASED I KNOW THAT THERE'S THERE. THERE'S A. IN THIS COMING LEGISLATIVE.

THEY'VE ALREADY THERE'S A BILL THAT SOMEONE'S ALREADY. SAID THAT TO TAKE SOME OF THAT HOME BASED OUT BECAUSE THEY SAW THAT IT HAS IMPACTED NEGATIVELY THE CITY'S SERIOUS YEAH. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE BUSINESS IS. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BECAUSE YEAH, MEETING WE WAS TALKING OVER THE OFF. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, UH, THE LADY SAID THAT THE MAN HAS, UH I DON'T KNOW IT WAS. SOME KIND OF BUSINESS YOU HAVE WHETHER PEOPLE ARE RIGHT THERE, AND IT'S, UH IT HAS IN HIS HOUSE RIGHT NEXT TO HIM, AND SHE LIVED RIGHT NEXT THERE, AND IT'S JUST CONSTANT TRAFFIC. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT'S CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. BUT YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS SAID HE HAS NO CONTROL OVER THERE, WHICH YOU DON'T. HE'S ONE PERSON, BUT THERE IS GONNA BE FROM DISCUSSION TO TRY PROBABLY TO READ. LOOK AT THAT AND AMEND THAT. DO YOU KNOW IF ANYONE HAS BEEN IMPACTED ON THAT ON ANY OF THESE, UM. NEW STATE MANDATES FOR THE HOME BASED BUSINESS NOW NO. WE'VE HAD A FEW COME IN, BUT WE'VE BEEN REGULATING, UH, APPROVAL FOR THEIR SEAT. CEO YOU GET ABUSE BASED ON STATE ON. NEXT SLIDE. IN ADDITION TO OUR DAY TO DAY FASHIONS, TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES, WE HAVE SEVERAL OBJECTIVES IN THE VILLAGE STRATEGIC PLAN.

INCLUDING FINDING WAYS TO STREAMLINE THAT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS. BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE CHAMBER. AND THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD OF MARTIN COUNTY. LOOKING FORWARD TO MOBILITY AND. IMPACT THE ANALYSIS BUT ALSO IMPACT FEES FOR PARKS AND STORM WATER.

I BELIEVE WE DO HAVE A FEW MORE OBJECTIVES IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, BUT THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WERE CONTEMPLATED. IN THE INITIAL. QUARTERS AND FISCAL YEARS NEXT SIDE. AND WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. WHERE YOU SAID SEMINAL JUNCTION. WHERE IS THAT AND WHAT IT'S GONNA BE? OH HOW I WISH I HAD A MAP SO SEMINAL JUNCTION IS WHEN YOU TURN SOME SUMMARIZE WHAT? WHAT THEY PLANTED ON JUNE THEY ARE DOING. YOU SEE HERE DOING 20 MULTI FAMILY UNITS. INITIALLY THEY CAME IN WITH THE PROPOSAL FOR. FIVE OF THEM BEING LIVE WORK AND THE REST OF THEM BEING APARTMENTS. BUT NOW THEY'RE DOING 20. MULTI FAMILY UNITS IS THIS, MR VILLAFRANCA? I DO NOT RECALL. THIS IS MORNING. OH IS IT GOING ON RAILROAD AVENUE WHERE THEY CALL IT? YES I'M JUST ASSUMING SO. I THINK THAT'S THE ONE THAT I SEE DOWN THERE. BESIDES THE WHERE ANY TIME JUST AS YOU TURN IN? YES, COMING OVER THE RAILROAD TRACKS. YES TO THE TO THE LEFT. UH HUH. ALL RIGHT. SUSAN GIVES THOMAS. DID YOU? I'M SORRY, COUNCILWOMAN HERNANDEZ. QUESTION UM, WHEN IT SAYS UNBUILT WAS THAT BEFORE WE INCORPORATED. THE IN BUILT, WHICH WHICH KIND OF SECOND SLIDE. IT'S RED. YOU HAVE ALL THE BECAUSE, LIKE I'M LOOKING AT CARTER PARK SAYS TOTAL BUILT 34. THESE HAVE SIX UNBUILT. BUT THEN IN 2020 AND 2021, YOU HAVE EIGHT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS. WELL SO THIS IS WHAT THE SCHOOL BOARD USES. I HAVE TO UPDATE THEM WITH OUR INFORMATION IS PROJECTS COME IN. THEY DON'T NECESSARILY NEED INFORMATION FOR THOSE IN THE LIGHTER AREA AT THE BOTTOM

[01:20:07]

[01:25:05]

AND I THINK AT THIS POINT WE HAVE CONTROL OVER WHERE WE CAN CONTROL THAT. AND WE DON'T WANT TO JUST BRING EVERYBODY IN THAT ONE OF BILL APARTMENTS. OF COURSE, IT'S GREAT MONEY BUILDER, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHAT ABOUT THE COMMUNITY? YOU'RE LOOKING TO BUILD A STRONG COMMUNITY AND THAT. INCLUDE THAT'S A BIG PART OF THAT IS ONLY YOUR OWN HOME. IF YOU DON'T OWN YOUR OWN HOME, YOU'RE GOING TO ALWAYS FEEL LIKE YOU COULD JUST GET UP AND MOVE WHENEVER YOU WANT, AND THAT'S NOT WHAT WE WANT. WELL AT LEAST ME. THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT. I WANT PEOPLE WITH OWNERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS COMMUNITY. WHERE THEY FEEL GOOD COMING HOME TO THEIR HOUSE AND NOT SOMEBODY ELSE'S HOUSE. AND THAT'S THE WAY I SEE IT, AND I'M GOING TO STICK TO IT. THIS IS GOOD DISCUSSION. UH, BOTH OF YOU GOT A GOOD POINT.

UM I THINK THE SIMINO WHAT WAS IT? F YEAH JUNCTION. THAT'S PROBABLY PROPER FOR, UM, APARTMENTS BECAUSE I'M JUST GIVING YOU HISTORY. I'M BORN HERE. I GOT A LITTLE BIT OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SOMETHING. I AGREE WITH BOTH OF YOUR BUTT. THAT'S PROBABLY FITTING TO HAVE APARTMENTS. UH AIN'T GONNA GET TOO MANY HOMES ON THERE. TO BE HONEST WITH YOU THE WAY IT'S STRUCTURED. I KNOW THAT FOR A FACT. I LIVED THERE GROWING UP IN THE APARTMENTS, SO IT DEPENDS. AND LIKE I SAID, BEFORE YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT, BUT YOU GOTTA REALIZE EVERYBODY IS NOT GOING TO BE HOMEOWNERS, AND WE JUST GOT TO MAKE EDUCATION AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO WANT IT, YOU KNOW. AND, UH, I'M PRETTY SURE THE TERROR LAGO IS NOT GOING TO BE THE ONLY PROJECT WHERE PEOPLE COULD BUY HOMES, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT. WE DO HAVE A CONTROLLER. BUT THESE PLACES THERE TO DESIGNATED NOW THAT SHE'S NAMING. THEY'RE FIT FOR APARTMENTS, NOT HOMES.

DEFINITELY THE ONE ON SEMINOLE JUNCTION. I KNOW. OKAY? SO I MEAN, GOOD DISCUSSION. YES VILLAGE MANAGER? YES MADAM MAYOR. UM I JUST WANT I HEAR COUNCILMAN STONES. DISCUSSION I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH, UH, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE NOT THAT THINK OR NON PROFITS AND WHAT THEY DO IS THEY TRY TO ENCOURAGE HOME OWNERSHIP IN THE COMMUNITY. AND YOU KNOW THEY THESE GUYS SPECIALIZED IN THE RURAL COMMUNITIES, YOU KNOW, CONNECTING PEOPLE RESOURCES SO THAT THEY CAN GET PRETTY QUALIFIED TO GET INTO A HOME.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BREAK BREAKDOWN OF DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. I KNOW THAT A LOT. THE MAJORITY IS OUR APARTMENTS. BUT THERE ARE, UM WITH THE, UH. TARA LAGOS ANYTIME TO YOUR EYE, THERE ARE HOMES IN THERE FOR PURCHASED THE TOWN HOMES AND THEY'RE SEEING FAMILY HOMES, BUT THEY'RE IN LIKE THE. THE LATER PHASES. THEY'RE NOT IN THE FIRST PHASES AND, UM AND THE AND THE ONES THAT ARE BEING UM. DISCUSSED I GUESS RIVER OAKS OR WHATEVER THEY'RE CALLED RIVER. IT'S. OH THAT IT'S ALREADY YEAH. HE TOLD US OFF THE BAT THAT WAS GONNA BE RUNNING. NO. THERE. THERE THEY ARE. THEY ARE DESIGNED AS. THEIR DESIGN, LIKE SEEING FAMILY HOMES, BUT THERE THEIR APARTMENTS, SO. YOU KNOW THERE IS THERE IS THERE I

[01:30:03]

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. YOU KNOW, IT'S THE PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND. HAVE UNDERSTANDING.

OF WHAT IT IS TO HAVE A HOME IS THE PEOPLE THAT'S GOING TO BUY THE HOME? YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? SO IT'S JUST NOT, UH, IT'S JUST DON'T CARE WHAT CITY YOU GO AHEAD, EVERYBODY JUST NOT GOING TO BE HOME ON IT, BUT I HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR AND THOSE WHO ARE THIRSTY FOR HOMES. TRUST ME. I MEAN, WITH JOSH KELLAN. JUST FREQUENTLY. WE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT IS GOING TO BE MOVING INTO THAT, UH. NEIGHBORHOOD ONCE HE BUILT ONCE HE STARTED BUILDING. AND THEY LIVE RIGHT HERE AND THE EAGER TO GET IN THERE AND THEY ALREADY HOMEOWNERS, SO YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST DEPENDS, RIGHT? YEAH. OKAY, ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ANY PUBLIC QUESTION. CAN'T VICE MAYOR UM NOT NOT ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, BUT I DO WANT TO PUT ON THE AGENDA FOR NEXT MEETING THE CHANGE. WITH COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE MPO. I WOULD LIKE TO STEP DOWN AND TAKE A BREAK FROM FROM THAT ORGANIZATION. UM, MAYBE BE REAPPOINTED AT A LATER DATE. OH, I'M SORRY. ALSO FOR THE STAFF TO PUT ON THE AGENDA THE MORNING COUNT THIS DOWN, OKAY. OKAY SO, SO WE GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS GOING ON. SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS. UH HUH. I GOT WHAT YOU GOT.
