YOU RECALL DURING THE STREET TEACH STRATEGIC PLANNING MEETINGS IN APRIL 2019 BY MR JIM TERRACE. HOUSING AND JOBS WERE TWO ITEMS THAT WERE ON OR NEAR THE TOP OF THE LIST ON YOUR AGENDA THIS EVENING. THOSE TWO ITEMS ARE SOMEWHAT ADDRESSED. I ATTENDED THE PZ A BOARD MEETING LAST WEEK AND WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR STAFF AND THE DEVELOPERS PRESENTATION AND THE UNANIMOUS DECISION OF THE BOARD.

[5.  

RESOLUTION NO. XXX-2021: A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (FDEP) STATE REVOLVING FUND (SRF), ADOPTING THE IMPROVEMENTS CLEAN WATER FACILITIES PLAN FOR UTILITY SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS, EFFECTIVE THIS DATE; DESIGNATING AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES; AND PROVIDING FOR FINDINGS, LEGAL AUTHORITY, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND EFFECTIVE DATE.

[00:30:01]

MADAM MAYOR. WE HAVE MR DANIEL MAY GROW. THAT'S ON. HE'LL WALK US THROUGH WHAT THIS ITEM IS ABOUT. I COULD EVENING. GOOD EVENING. GREAT WORLD. UM, YES. SO. IF YOU RECALL WHEN, WHEN THE VILLAGE BOUGHT INDIAN TOWN COMPANY INC. THE UTILITY COMPANY , THERE WERE SEVERAL PROJECTS ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE THAT WERE IDENTIFIED. NOW THIS PRIORITY TYPE PROJECTS AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN THE PROCESS IS TO FUND THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. UM SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE VILLAGE DID IS THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THEY OBTAINED A SRF PLANNING LOAN TO BEGIN THE PLANNING. FACES OF THOSE PROJECTS AND THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THE VILLAGE HIRED A COUPLE CONSULTANTS TO WORK IN THOSE AND THOSE ARE COMING TO COMPLETION AS WE SPEAK NOW. THE NEXT STEP IN THE FUNDING PROCESS IS TO SUBMIT A FACILITIES PLAN, WHICH IS IF I MAY SHARE MY SCREEN, I'LL SHOW IT. THERE WE GO. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A COPY OF THE FACILITIES PLAN. UM AND WHAT THIS FACILITIES PLAN.

ESSENTIALLY YOU HAVE SEEN OTHER VERSIONS OF IT. UM YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE DAY SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, BUT. THIS IS THE LATEST VERSION, WHICH NOW INCLUDES THE PROJECTS AND SOME MORE, UM, ENGINEERING INFORMATION THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDED TO THE REPORT. UM. THE PURPOSE OF TONIGHT'S MEETING IS TO THE VILLAGE TO APPROVE THIS FACILITIES PLAN VIA RESOLUTION AFTER ALLOWING THE PUBLIC TO YOU KNOW, ASK ANY QUESTIONS THEY MAY HAVE, SO WE LIKE TO LOOK AT THE PROJECTS LOOK AT THE COSTS THE FINANCIAL IMPACT TO THE UTILITY AND THEN WE'LL LOOK AT ALSO THE CAPITAL FINANCING PLAN, WHICH LOOKS AS THE AT THE AVAILABLE REVENUES TO PAY FOR THE LUNGS.

SO I'M GOING TO KEEP OVER TO, UM PAGE TABLE. TABLE FIVE, WHICH IS A SUMMARY OF THE PROJECTS AND THE COSTS. UM, YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS PROJECT BEFORE? THE FIRST ONE. AND I HOPE YOU CAN SEE THIS. I'M GOING TO SIMILAR TO THAT, BUT THE FIRST ONE IS PROJECT NUMBER ONE IS THE WASTEWATER PLANT IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, AND THIS CONSISTS OF A COMPLETE REHAB OF THE WASTEWATER PLANT. OF THE ESTIMATED COST FOR THIS PROJECT IS ABOUT $12 MILLION ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

YOU CAN SEE THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND ON THE LEFT, YOU CAN SEE THE DESIGN DESIGN COSTS FOR THAT PROJECT. PROJECT NUMBER TWO IS A SERIES OF LIFT STATION IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH HAVE BEEN ORGANIZED INTO FIVE GROUPS BASED ON THE PLANNING WORK HAS BEEN DONE. UH. PRIORITY GROUPS ONE THROUGH FIVE BASED ON THEIR NEED. AND JUST LIKE IN THE OTHER PROJECTS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE , WE HAVE ALL THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE LEFT OF DESIGN COSTS. PROJECT NUMBER THREE IS THE SEWER REHAB IN THE NORTHEAST SECTION OF THE SERVICE AREA. UM, IT'S A. REHAB TYPE PROJECT. THAT COST IS SMALLER COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHER ONES, BUT WE'RE TALKING IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT $520,000 TOTAL COST FOR THAT PROJECT. PROJECT THREE.

PROJECT FOUR IS A FORCE MINT REPLACEMENT ON SOUTHWEST WAR FIELD BOULEVARD. IT'S A SMALL SECTION OF FORCE MEANT THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AND AGAIN . THE COST OF THAT PROJECT IS ABOUT 100 AND 70. $3000. AND THE LAST PROJECT IS THE FOUR INCH FORCE MINT EXTENSION TO CONNECT THREE PRIVATE PACKAGE PLANTS IN THE NORTHWEST SECTION OF THE VILLAGE. UM AND THAT PROJECT IS ABOUT $800,000. SO IT'S JUST A LIST OF THE SAME PROJECTS THAT WE PRESENTED TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL BACK WHEN THE VILLAGE PURCHASED THE UTILITY AS THE PRIMARY PROJECTS TARGET. THESE ARE UPDATED COST ESTIMATES, UH, WHEN THE UTILITY WAS PURCHASED. THERE WAS NO REAL ENGINEERING INFO ON THIS PROJECT, AND NOW THEY HAVE GONE TO THE PLANNING STAGES. THIS IS THE LATEST AND GREATEST COST ESTIMATE FOR ALL OF THEM. IF WE WERE TO PROCEED WITH THE APPLICATION TO FUND ALL

[00:35:08]

AND WE'RE HOPING THE SAME LEVEL OF TREATMENT. IN OTHER WORDS FROM THE SRF IS AWARDED FOR THIS PROJECT. HOWEVER YOU KNOW WE WERE PLANNING ON SUBMITTING THIS APPLICATION FOR THE FEBRUARY PUBLIC HEARING BY THE SRF, WHERE THEY ASSIGNED ALL THE CLIENTS AND THEY'VE ALREADY TOLD US THAT IN FEBRUARY THERE ARE NO PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS DOLLARS FOR PROJECTS. ONLY LOAN FUNDING.

UM THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE THEY SAID THAT THEY MAY GET SOME LAST MINUTE. UM YOU KNOW ALLEGATIONS OF FUNDING AND THERE MAY BE SOME DON'T KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT UM SO THAT BEING SAID UM WHAT? WE HAD A WORKSHOP. COUPLE DAYS AGO WHERE WE DISCUSSED SOME OF THIS, AND THAT'S WHY THIS FACILITIES PLAN TO GET UPDATED BETWEEN TUESDAY AND TONIGHT. UM BUT WHAT WE DID IS WE PROPOSED FUNDING PROJECTS NUMBER 13 AND. FOUR RIGHT NOW, THROUGH THIS FUNDING CYCLE AT THE FEBRUARY FUNDING HEARING AND POSTPONING PROJECTS TWO AND FIVE UNTIL A LATER DATE. IF WE DO THAT. CAN TAKE YOU TO PAGE SEE. SECTION SIX OF THE REPORT IT TALKS ABOUT WHAT THE PREDICTED THAT SERVICE WILL BE FOR THOSE. IF WE DO THAT, THEN THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO OBTAIN A DESIGN LOAN. I SAW ME. THE IDEA THERE. I MEAN, WE GET 80% $23,000 PER YEAR FOR DESIGN. UM, ON THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE. ASSUMING WE GET 50% PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS, UH THIS WILL BE BACK AND THIS WOULD BE 2023 FUNDING APPLICATION. BUT ASSUMING THAT'S THE THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL MORNING. IT WOULD BE ABOUT $237,000 PER YEAR TO FUND THOSE PROJECTS. SO IF WE IF WE PROCEED IN THAT MANNER WITH THOSE PROJECTS AND POSTPONED THE OTHER TWO PROJECTS I MENTIONED THEN.

WE GO TO THE CAPITAL FINANCING PLAN, WHICH IS WHAT THE SRF WILL LOOK AT. THIS IS A PROJECTION OF YOUR REVENUES. UM RIGHT NOW, FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR, YOU HAVE ABOUT $370,000 IN AVAILABLE REVENUE TO SERVICE THIS DEBT. SO THE DESIGN LOAN WILL BE SHOWN FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS. AND THAT'S 27,000. AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION WOULD GO UP TO 300,000 IN NEW DEBT SERVICE. SO THAT'S STILL WITHIN THE AVAILABLE REVENUES. UM SO IN OTHER WORDS, THE EP IF WE SHOW SOMETHING THAT IS ABOVE YOUR AVAILABLE REVENUES, DP WILL NOT FUND THE PROJECTS UNTIL. THE FUND AMERICANISM GETS, YOU KNOW, DETERMINED SO THAT'S WHY ANOTHER REASON WHY WE. YOU KNOW, PRIORITIZED PROJECTS 13 AND FOUD RIGHT NOW, WITH THE WITH THIS FACILITIES PLAN. UM. AGAIN I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS . THE GOAL IS TO ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND WE CAN ASK FOR THEM AND THEN FOR THE COUNCIL TO ADOPT THIS FACILITY PLANS THE RESOLUTION.

IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COUNCIL IS THERE ANY PUBLIC? I DO NOT HAVE ANY MADAM. THERE. WELL, YOU NEED TO FILL OUT A FORM. I DO HAVE A QUESTION. GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD. IF WE DO ONE IS IT 13 AND FIVE. WE DO 13 AND FIVE WELL THAT TAKES CARE OF THE RESIDENTIAL AREA. MOSTLY. WELL UM, ONE IS THE WASTEWATER PLANT . SO THAT TAKES CARE OF THE

[00:40:01]

ROSLYN WATERS, JENSEN. GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU ACTUALLY JUST MENTIONED DRINKING WATER? THAT WAS REALLY A CONCERN AND FOR MANY CITIES AND I CAN RUSTLE SORRY. YES. OH, YES. OF COURSE, I DON'T SEE IT HERE. BUT I'M WONDERING WHEN YOU CONDUCTED YOUR ANALYSIS. HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THESE PRIORITIES AND IS THERE DATA TO DETERMINE WHICH ONES? AND HOPEFULLY THAT WOULD BE OPEN FOR PUBLIC REVIEW. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, CERTAINLY I CAN SPEAK TO THAT. YES YES, I CAN SPEAK TO THAT. SO THIS. WHEN WHEN THE VILLAGE PURCHASE THAT UTILITY THERE WERE SEVERAL PRIORITIES THAT WERE DISCUSSED AS AS BEING, YOU KNOW, NUMBER ONE TARGETS ON THE WATERSIDE.

THEY ARE CURRENTLY ONGOING ON DESIGN OF SEVERAL WATER RELATED IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY. INCLUDING THE WATER PLANT ITSELF, AND SOME OTHER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM RELATED TO WATER, SO ALL THAT IS CURRENTLY ON GOING ON THE WATER FUNDING SIDE. UM SO. YOU KNOW, WE CAN CERTAINLY TALK ABOUT THOSE IT. MAYBE THIS IS PARTICULARLY ONLY RELATED TO WASTEWATER, UM AND THE WAY THEY WERE DETERMINED THIS, YOU KNOW ISSUES THAT WERE IDENTIFIED DURING THE NEGOTIATION WITH THE WITH THE UTILITY DURING THE PURCHASE. WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF DETAILED. ENGINEERING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THAT WAS DONE AFTER THE FACT. BUT BASED ON YOU KNOW THE OWNERS OF THIS UTILITY, THEY SAID, LOOK, THESE ARE THE YOU KNOW THE BIG ITEMS. YOU'VE GOT A TARGET FIRST. OKAY SO THE OWNERS OF THE UTILITY IS IT DRIVEN BY THE USERS IS THE PRIORITIES. THAT'S NOT YET. SO THE PRIORITIES WERE DETERMINED BY THE OWNERS OF THE UTILITY VERSUS THE USERS ARE NOT. NO NO BASED ON THE PREVIOUS OWNERS OF THE UTILITIES, THEY HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONDITION OF THE UTILITY. SO YOU KNOW WE CAN GET INFO ON ON ON WHAT THE ISSUES ARE. THEIR PRIORITIES ARE DRIVEN BY. REGULATORY ISSUES AND FAILURE ISSUES AND THINGS THAT NEED TO BE IMPROVED. GREAT THANK YOU. AND ONE FINAL QUESTION. WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR THIS PLAN? OVER WHAT TIME PERIOD. WELL, WE'RE. TRYING TO PROCEED WITH THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE . THAT MEANS TARGETING THE FEBRUARY FUNDING HEARING BY THE SRF IF WE'RE ABLE. YES IF WE'RE ABLE TO GET FUNDING AT THAT MEETING IN FEBRUARY, THEN THE VILLAGE CAN PROCEED WITH DESIGN RIGHT AWAY THE NEXT MONTH SO THAT HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN 2023. IF THERE IS NO PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS AWARDED IN FEBRUARY, THEN THE VILLAGE WILL HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO PROCEED WITH JUST A LOAN, WITH NO WITH NO GRANT ESSENTIALLY OR TO TARGET A FUTURE MEETING THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY GET GRANT FUNDING. SO THIS SCHEDULE GET PUSHED BACK BASED ON FUNDING. THANK YOU SO MUCH. CAN I GO AGAIN, COUNSELOR ? THANK YOU, MR MAGRO. AND NOW THAT YOU WERE IN THAT CONVERSATION, I KNOW THAT WITH THE WHOLE INFRASTRUCTURE WITH THE FEDS. IS THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A WASTE WATER. CAN THIS BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK IN FEDERAL LEVEL? OR IS IT JUST A CLEAN WATER THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY GO OUT AND LOOK FOR GRANTS ON FEDERAL LEVEL. TO HEAR ME. I HEAR YOU. HELLO. AND YOUR YOU FROZE UP. DANIEL CAN YOU HEAR ME? FEELS REALLY. YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR HIS INTERNET TO COME BACK. OKAY WELL, HE'LL HE'LL

[00:45:02]

WE ALSO APPLIED TO THE USDA, THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOR THEIR FEDERAL PROGRAM. WE KIND OF PUT THAT APPLICATION ON HOLD UNTIL WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SRX, BUT WE CAN ALWAYS GO BACK TO THE USDA. TO OBTAIN, HOPEFULLY, GRANT AND SUPPLEMENT ALL THIS FUNDING. OKAY BUT WITH THE WHOLE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL THAT JUST PASSED THROUGH CONGRESS DOES THAT HELP? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT TODAY I WAS ON A PANEL AND ONE OF THE COLLEAGUES THAT WAS ON THE PANEL WAS TALKING ABOUT HOWD HELP THEIR COMMUNITY. AND SO I'M WONDERING IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY GO OUT AND TALK TO CONGRESSMAN MASKS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I'M SORRY.

YES, ABSOLUTELY. AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT. SOMETIMES THOSE FUNDS ARE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH DIFFERENT MECHANISMS, AND SOMETIMES THE PORTION GOES THROUGH THE SAME CHANNELS. IT'S HARD TO SAY REALLY AT THIS MOMENT HOW IT WILL COME DOWN, BUT YES, YOU SHOULD. CERTAINLY.

REACH OUT TO YOUR LOCAL PERCENTAGES AND YOU KNOW, APPLY FOR THAT FUNDING. THANK YOU. ANY MORE PUBLIC COMMENTS. CAN I GET A MOTION? TO APPROVE. SO MOVE FOR APPROVAL. SECOND. SECOND WORLD CALL, MADAM. I MEAN ANY DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL, WE DON'T HAVE DISCUSSION ANYMORE DISCUSSION. ANY MORE PUBLIC COMMENTS. NO MATTER BROKE. OUR COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS I COUNCIL MEMBER, HERNANDEZ. YES COUNCIL MEMBER STONE VICE MAYOR DARLING MAYOR CLARK. YES? UM VILLAGE ATTORNEY. I DIDN'T NUMBER SEVEN. THROUGH 66 NUMBER SIX FIRST, OKAY? THANK YOU,

RESOLUTION NO. XXX-2021:  A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN, FLORIDA, ADOPTING A VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN ENGINEERING STANDARDS MANUAL; AND PROVIDING FOR FINDINGS, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND EFFECTIVE DATE.

ABSOLUTELY GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR LATE ASSEMBLY COUNCIL. IF YOU'LL RECALL AS A PART OF THE PURCHASE. UM, THE VILLAGE. WAS TASKED TO PUT SOME PRELIMINARY. DETAILS TOGETHER FOR HOW WE WOULD, UM, MANAGE CONSTRUCTION OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE UTILITY AND IF YOU'LL RECALL IN JULY OF THIS YEAR, I BROUGHT A DRAFT OF THAT FORWARD JUST AS HIS DISCUSSION ITEM TO SHOW YOU THE PROGRESS AS FAR AS STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS AND DETAILS. SINCE THAT TIME, I'VE CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD AND CREATE CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND DETAILS FOR BOTH UTILITIES AND FOR OUR ROADS AND DRAINAGE CONSTRUCTION. AND FOLLOWED UP WITH MR HEWITT AND MR NOLAN TO GO THROUGH THINGS SOLICIT COMMENTS, CLEAN THINGS UP AND GET THEM AS CLOSE AS WE CAN GET THEM, UM. THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS SINCE OUR INCEPTION WE'VE BEEN OPERATING UNDER MARTIN COUNTY'S DESIGN CODES AS A PART OF THE TRANSITION, AND EVENTUALLY WE WANTED TO HAVE OUR OWN IN PLACE.

SO THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE DIRECTLY IN RELATION TO WHAT WE WANT AS A UTILITY, SO THIS EFFORT IS ALONG THOSE LINES. THIS IS THE FIRST STEP THAT WE WILL PROBABLY COME BACK IN THE NEXT 6 TO 12 MONTHS. WITH SOME REVISIONS TO THIS DOCK YOUR TO THE OVERALL DOCUMENT AT SOME POINT, UM THERE IS CLOSE AS WE CAN GET HIM ON THE FIRST TIME THROUGH, BUT SOME THINGS ARE GOING TO POP UP DURING CONSTRUCTION ALONG THE WAY TO POINT OUT WHERE WE NEED TO TIGHTEN. SOMETHING'S UP OR CHANGE SOME THINGS ALONG THE WAY . SO THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN CREATING OUR UTILITY CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AS MUNICIPAL UTILITY. AS WELL AS OUR PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING STANDARDS FOR OUR ROADS AND

[00:50:06]

GREAT I ON ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN REGARDS OF THIS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT, UM WE DON'T WANT THINGS COMING BACK LATER ON, UM WHERE? YOU KNOW SOMEONE CONTRACTORS TRY TO CUT CORNERS BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT WE WERE NEW AND WHEN THEY COULD. THEY THOUGHT THEY CAN DO IT IN THE VILLAGE OF ANY IN TOWN, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STAFF HAS GREAT IN REGARDS OF THIS.

ABSOLUTELY MR HEWITT AND MR NOLAN WERE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS ON THE UTILITY SIDE SO THAT WE MADE SURE THAT THE DETAILS. WILL REFLECT WHAT WE WANT AS A UTILITY, AND THEN OUR PERSONNEL WILL INSPECT DURING CONSTRUCTION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING WHAT IS DESIGNED IN THE DRAWING. THESE DETAILS ARE INCLUDED IN DESIGN DRAWINGS THAT ARE SUBMITTED TO US FROM ENGINEERS. THEY'RE ALLOWED NO ALTERATIONS ON THOSE DETAILS. SO THAT ALLOWS OUR INSPECTORS TO LOOK AT THE DRAWINGS AND SEE EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT DURING CONSTRUCTION. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. NO MATTER MAYOR ROLL CALL.

THE 50 ACRES BY THE WAY THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DEDICATED OR SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE SCHOOL BOARD IS NOW PART OF THIS OVERALL PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. AND WITH THAT, I'LL SAY THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AH! DENIED THE OFFER TO KEEP THE.

THE 50 ACRES, SO THEY PUT IT INTO THEIR MAJOR SITE PLAN. NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS LIGHT SHOWS YOU THE DETAIL OF THE FIVE PHASES WITH LIKE I SAID, PHASE ONE, A HAVING THREE SEPARATE SUB PHASES AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THE APARTMENTS COME ONLINE AND PHASE ONE C AND WE HAVE 174 TOWN HOMES PROPOSED.

LET'S MOVE IN. LET HIM MOVE IN. MADAM MAYOR, VICE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS. I'M JOSH KELLUM. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS PROJECT TONIGHT. IT'S EXCITING

[01:10:07]

BECAUSE COMING INTO A VILLAGE WHERE THE PROJECT OF THIS MAGNITUDE BRINGS A LOT OF CONVERSATION, GET OBJECTIONS AND SUPPORTS, BUT, UM, THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN TO US. HAS BEEN ON OUR RADAR FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS , SO I'M AS I SAID, I'M JOSH KELLUM. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE GARCIA COMPANIES AND GARCIA COMPANY STARTED BUSINESS IN 1952 IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA. BY OUR LATE FOUNDER, EDDIE GARCIA, WHO PASSED AWAY A COUPLE YEARS AGO AT 93 YEARS OLD. BUT HE WAS ALWAYS A BELIEVER IN. MAKING SURE THAT THAT WE LOOK AT COMMUNITIES THAT WE CAN ADD VALUES TO. WE'VE BEEN A REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS, PROBABLY SINCE THE SEVENTIES WAS STARTED IN ELECTORAL CONTRACTING AND DIVERSIFIED INTO LAND DEVELOPMENT. BUT IT'S WE'VE NEVER BEEN THE MILK MULTIMILLION DOLLAR HOME BUILDER. WE'VE BEEN BEEN A HOMEBUILDER WHERE WE CAN COME INTO COMMUNITIES AND WE CAN ADD VALUE TO COMMUNITIES AND MOVING TO FLORIDA FROM VIRGINIA 15 YEARS AGO. ONE OF OUR OTHER BUSINESSES IS THE AGRICULTURE BUSINESS, AND WE WOULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME LOOKING AT THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE STATE AND GETTING UP INTO A LITTLE BIT OF THE NORTHERN PART OF THE STATE. BUT I WOULD SPEND. TIME A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK, DRIVING THE BEELINE 7 10 OR WAR FIELD BOULEVARD OR ANY OTHER NAMES THAT IT MAY HAVE AND DRIVING THROUGH THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN AND THROUGH THROUGH MY TIMT TO KNOW SOME MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND BUSINESS OWNERS IN THE COMMUNITY AND I WOULD STOP PROBABLY ON A WEEKLY OR BI WEEKLY BASIS AND INDIAN TOWN AND BREAK BREAD OR HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE. YOU HAVE LUNCH. WITH DIFFERENT FOLKS AND PEOPLE WOULD TALK TO ME ABOUT HOW SPECIAL INDIAN TOWN IS AND HOW INDIAN TOWN HAS SO MUCH TO OFFER AND ONE DAY INDIAN TOWN, YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO GROW THE RIGHT WAY. AND I KNOW THAT. NUMBER OF YEARS AGO WHEN THIS PROJECT WAS FIRST TALKED ABOUT AS AL FIA HINTED ON IT WAS TALKED IN THE CONTEXT OF SOMETHING MUCH, MUCH LARGER, LARGER AND ONE PARTICULAR REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY. WHAT'S GOING TO COME IN AND DO 10,000 NEW ROOFTOPS AND BUILD NEW SCHOOLS AND. YEAH, IT WAS A GRANDIOSE VISION, AND I KNOW THAT THOSE THAT VISION WENT ALONG THE WAYSIDE AND THE REAL ESTATE, REAL ESTATE FALL IN 2000 AND SEVEN BUT I WOULD SPEND THIS TIME KIND OF LIVING THROUGH WHAT HAPPENED AFTER CENTEX HOMES WENT AWAY IN 2000 AND SEVEN AND LISTENING TO THE HEART OF THE PEOPLE OF INDIAN TOWN AND. AND AS THE INCORPORATION TOOK PLACE A FEW YEARS AGO, I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE, KEVIN POWERS, AND HE SAID. INDIAN TOWN IS INCORPORATED. WE HAVE PHENOMENAL LEADERSHIP HERE IN INDIAN TOWN, AND WE'RE STARTING THE PROCESS OF COMING UP WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND AN INDIAN TOWN STARTING TO GROW. WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN AND NOT JUST BEING KIND OF THE OUTCAST COMMUNITY WITHIN MARTIN COUNTY THAT THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SO MANY THAT THIS COMMUNITY WAS AND SO HE SAID, YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY OUGHT TO TAKE A LOOK. BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE PEOPLE OF INDIAN TOWN UM HAVE WHAT? WHAT YOU ALL AS AN ORGANIZATION LOOK AT AND SO WE DID. WE STARTED EXPLORING AND STARTED TO MEET WITH WITH FOLKS THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT IN THIS ROOM AND BUSINESS OWNERS AND. AND VILLAGE STAFF AND VILLAGE COUNCIL AND STARTED TO HEAR THE HEART OF INDIAN TOWN AND ONE OF MY QUESTIONS THAT I'VE ASKED EVERYBODY THAT I HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH SINCE. SINCE 2020 IS WHAT IS THE BIGGEST NEED THAT

[01:15:04]

BUT AS GROWTH HAS HAPPENED. THE ABILITY TO GO OUT AND PROCURE A NEW HOME IS NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE. THE ABILITY TO GO OUT AND RENT A HOME ON IN SOME CASES IS NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE. AND SO I HEARD THAT LOUD AND CLEAR, AND SO WHEN WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT. THE DRAWING BOARD ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY AND LOOK AT THE L. D. R S THAT YOU ALL WORKED SO HARD ON AND PUT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME IN IN THE IN THE LAND USE CODE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WE SAID LOOK, WE THINK WE CAN ACHIEVE THAT. WE THINK WE CAN ACHIEVE HOUSING FIRST AND FOREMOST, AND THEN AS WE STARTED TO GET INTO CONVERSATIONS EVEN DEEPER, WE STARTED HEARING. UM.

WE STARTED HEARING IDEAS LIKE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY AND ADDITIONAL STORAGE FACILITY SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO PARK THEIR 10 CARS IN THEIR FRONT LAWN OR THEIR WORK TRAILER IN THEIR FRONT YARD. HOW DO YOU CREATE OPPORTUNITY WHERE PEOPLE CAN CAN EFFICIENTLY STORE THEIR STORE THEIR EQUIPMENT AND WE STARTED HEARING THE IDEA OF APARTMENTS AND TOWN HOMES AND SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, AND WE TOOK THIS BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND CAME UP WITH WHAT YOU ALL ARE REVIEWING TONIGHT AND HOPEFULLY WELL, WE'LL HELP MOVE THIS PROJECT FORWARD. BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT I CAN STAND UP HERE. AND PASSIONATELY SAY THAT THE MEMBERS AND PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN HAVE HELPED CREATE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT TODAY HELPED CREATE THE SIZE OF THE HOMES, THE PRICING OF THE HOMES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE THE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY COMPONENTS SO THAT. SO THAT PEOPLE THAT ARE NURSES THAT ARE LIVING HERE LOCAL IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN THAT ARE DRIVING TO STEWART OR DRIVING TO POUR ST LUCIE OR DRIVING TO PALM BEACH, UM TO GO WORK ARE GOING TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK HERE AND THEN THE EXPANSION OF COMMERCIAL IN THE RIGHT WAY. AND SO THAT'S REALLY. HOW WE GOT TO THE CONCLUSION OF WHAT WE WHAT WE DID IN WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT TODAY AND IN OUR HEART IS REALLY FOR THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, AND THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL LETTER THAT WAS THAT WAS READ EARLIER BY DOUG MEMBER OF THE VILLAGE THAT. I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH AND IT JUST MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD TO HEAR SOMEBODY JUST TALK POSITIVELY ABOUT THEIR COMMUNITY AND THEN TALK ABOUT HOW IF WE WORK TOGETHER AND VICE MAYOR YOU HIT ON THIS. JUST THE UNITY OF WORKING TOGETHER, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE AS A COMPANY HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH. WE CAN, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT OPPORTUNITIES ALL OVER THE ALL OVER THE PLACE , BUT WE REALLY HAVE SPENT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME. HERE IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN BECAUSE WE SEE THIS AS A PLACE WHERE THE GARCIA COMPANIES CAN COME, AND PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING FOR US CAN LIVE AND CAN WORK AND CAN PLAY AND CAN GROW AND CAN HAVE A FAMILY AND THAT'S THAT'S BEEN. THE HEART BEHIND WHY? YOU KNOW, WE SEE THIS HUGE NEED FOR HOUSING AND THE TYPE OF HOUSING THAT WE WANT TO BRING TO THIS COMMUNITY SO THAT FIREFIGHTERS HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE AND POLICE OFFICERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS AND PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING IN THE HOSPITAL SYSTEM. YOU KNOW, HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE HERE AND RAISE THEIR FAMILY AND HELP GROW THIS COMMUNITY THE WAY THAT IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAS GROWN FOR SO MANY YEARS WITH GENUINE PEOPLE THAT LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER AND CAN GET OUT ON A TRASH DAY. AND GO AROUND AND PICK UP TRASH WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, SO A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT HAS BEEN PUT INTO THIS AND WE ALSO HEARD VERY LOUD AND CLEAR THAT WE WANT THIS COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO OFFER HOUSING THAT IS ATTAINABLE HOUSING THAT THAT. THE AVERAGE PERSON CAN GO OUT AND PURCHASE SO WE HAVEN'T BEEN. WE HAVEN'T PUT FORTH A PLAN THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE BUILDING 7 $800,000 HOMES. WE'VE PUT FORTH A PLAN THAT'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. AROUND $250,000 AND TO DELIVER TOWN HOMES AROUND 150 TO $175,000, AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT OUR FOCUS HAS BEEN. WE WANT. WE WANT FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THESE HOMES THAT ARE LIVING. IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, AND SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING A LOT WITH YOUR LOCAL BANKS AND THE COMMUNITY LEADERS HERE TO LOOK AT VARIOUS PROGRAMS WHERE HOMEOWNERS WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY. TO HAVE TO PURCHASE HOMES AND I CAN STAND UP HERE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY AND TELL YOU WE WANT THE PEOPLE OF INDIAN TOWN THAT HAVE. THE NEED TO PURCHASE A HOME TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A HOME.

SO WE ARE GOING TO WORK. IT WOULD DO ME NO MORE JOY THAN TO BE ABLE TO SEE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE IN INDIAN TOWN. THAT ARE TRYING TO GET INTO A HOME THAT HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A HOME FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO BUY HOME. SO IF YOU COULD GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE FOR ME, PLEASE. OR MAYBE TWO SLIDES. SO ONE OF THE OTHER AVENUES JUST TO POINT OUT AND THANK YOU FOR THE

[01:20:10]

INTO THE HEART OF THIS COMMUNITY AND TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AND HAVE ALL WE'VE ALSO BEEN ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AS A COMPANY AND A NUMBER OF OTHER COMMUNITY GATHERINGS WITH SOME PARADES AND SOME OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE FOOD. THE RODEO AND IT'S BEEN GREAT BECAUSE WE JUST WE WERE ABLE TO SEE AND LIVE OUT WITH THE WITH MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY. AND HERE AND HERE, YOUR HEART, SO I'M SORRY, DIDN'T TALK MUCH ABOUT DETAILS. I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. TO ALL MY HAVE ABOUT THE PROJECT. ALFIE A DID A VERY GOOD JOB EXPLAINING THE ACTIVE SPECIFICS ABOUT THIS PROJECT, BUT WE STAND UP HERE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY TO ASK YOU TO SUPPORT THE MOTIONS THAT THE COUNSELOR ATTORNEY HAS HAS READ OFF BUT HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL AT THIS POINT. CAN I GET A MOTION? SOMEONE. SECOND IN A DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL. YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SAY. I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE THAT WE'VE BEEN LONGING FOR HERSELF LOOKING FORWARD TO SMOKES. SUPPORTING THIS PROJECT. COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS. UM, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK. GARCIA GROUP AND MR CALLUM FOR THE UM. PATIENTS THAT YOU'VE HAD AND YOUR. CONTINUED SUPPORT AND YOUR CONTINUED DOGGEDNESS TO STAY WITH US. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO.

[01:25:06]

WE'VE ONLY SEEN SANDY OAKS AND SANDY OAKS. I LIVE NEXT DOOR TO IT, SO I CAN TELL YOU THE PROS AND CONS WITH SANDY OAKS. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT COMES IN. WITH THE PROPER PERMITS PROPER. AH! EVERYTHING REVIEWED BY OUR STAFF , AND THIS IS WHY WE GET THE PROFESSIONALS TO DO IT. BECAUSE IF YOU ASK ME ABOUT A DEVELOPMENT APPEARED, D I CAN ONLY TELL YOU WHAT BEAUTY MEANS PLANNING UNIT DEVELOPMENT. BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU THE TEXT DETAILS . ANYTHING OF THAT. AND THIS IS WHY I THINK STAFF BECAUSE I KNOW THAT DAVE HAD A HARD. HARD TIME SOMETIMES BECAUSE YOU KNOW, IT'S DEBATING SOMETIMES, UM, BUT TO PIGGYBACK ON COUNTER WOMAN GIVES THOMAS UM IN REGARDS OF THE LOCAL. BUT I KNOW SOME COMPANIES SAY THEIR LOCAL, UM, BUT ALSO SPREAD THE WEALTH BECAUSE I KNOW IN SANDY OAKS. IT WAS ONE CONTRACTOR THAT WAS DOING ALL THE A C UNITS. IT WAS ONE CONTRACTOR AND WE ALREADY KNEW. YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO SUPPORT THE MINORITIES. UM WE HAVE A HUGE MINORITY COMMUNITY HERE. UM AND I'M HERE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF A C. WITH MINORITY BUSINESSES THAT ARE AVAILABLE LANDSCAPING. OH, I CAN TELL YOU LANDSCAPING. THERE'S BILLIONS HERE JUST JUSTT TELLING YOU WHICH ONES, BUT, UML , I ALSO WANT YOU TO CONSIDER THE MINORITY COMMUNITY. PROBABLY THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT . AND SO IF YOU CAN GIVE US THAT INFORMATION WHEN YOU START, UM SO THAT WE CAN SPREAD THE WEALTH OF INFORMATION SO THAT EACH COUNCIL MEMBER KEN SPREAD THE NEWS THAT YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE A LANDSCAPING BUSINESS, AND YOU'RE INTERESTED IN. AND DOING LANDSCAPING AT THIS, UM, NEW DEVELOPMENT HERE, PLANTING A LOT OF TREES. SO THAT'S A GOOD YES, YES. SO THAT'S A MY IMPORTANCE NOT TO FORGET THE MINORITY COMMUNITY BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I. I LOVE WHOEVER GETS THE JOB. YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE ANY ANY HEARSAY ABOUT THAT. BUT DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE MINORITY COMMUNITY. UM SO THAT'S ONE OF MY THINGS. AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS, UM YOU KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. FOR INDIAN TOWN AND INDIAN TOWN. WE NEED HOMES I'VE HAD IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. I'VE HAD SO MANY FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS MOVE OUT. AND THEY'VE ALL GONE TO PORT SAINT LUCIE. AND THEY'RE LIKE JANET, WE WANT HOMES. WE WANT TO BE HOMEOWNERS. WE WANT TO HAVE OUR OWN HOME. UM.

YOU YOU WON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH ME. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT. UM WHEN? WHEN? THESE, FOR EXAMPLE, UM. YOU KNOW THE ADDITIONS AND THE MODIFICATIONS AND ALL ALL THE SAUSAGE MAKING AS LONG AS THAT IS WORKING ITSELF OUT, BECAUSE AGAIN, I THINK HERNANDEZ SAID IT. YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT THE EXPERTS. WE HIRED THEM. THEY'RE HERE IN THE AUDIENCE. AND SO AS LONG AS THE PROCESS IS LEGITIMATE, YOU WON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. WE DO NEED HOUSING. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE GROUNDBREAKING AND ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT'S ATTACHED WITH IT BECAUSE HOUSING COMES OTHER GREAT THINGS. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT JUST WANT TO, YOU KNOW, FOR THE SAKE OF THE PUBLIC, UM MAKE SURE THAT INDIAN TOWN UM. UM IS BEING TREATED FAIRLY AS WE ARE HAVING NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND NEW FOCUS COMING IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS I DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN. I DON'T WANT TO SEE HAPPEN, AND I TALKED TO YOU THE FIRST TIME WE MET WE MET. I DON'T WANT GENTRIFICATION THAT HAPPEN. I DON'T WANT TO SEE FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN A LONGTIME RESIDENT.

PLACES THAT YOU WENT TO A REACH OUT TO THEM AND TO GET THEIR INPUT, SO THAT'S IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW FOR THE RESIDENTS TO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH YOU AND YOU MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH ME. AT ALL DECISIONS, BUT KNOW FOR SURE THAT I BELIEVE ALL OF US HAVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART. I'M BORN AND RAISED HERE AND THANK YOU, JOSH AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT PLAYED A PART TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC. YES, MADAM MAYOR MARJORIE BARRY. FOLLOWED BY LYNDON ICON. MY NAME IS MARJORIE BARRY. I'M A RESIDENT OF THE VILLAGE. I LIVE IN INDIAN WOULD THE COMMUNITY DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE TERRA LAGO DEVELOPMENT. MY PROPERTY IS WITHIN 25 FT OF THEIR PROPERTY LINE. I WANT TO SPEAK TONIGHT IN FAVOR OF THE TERRA LAGO DEVELOPMENT PLANS. SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THE PEOPLE OF INDIAN TOWN WERE ASKED WHAT THEY WANTED. THE MAJORITY WANTED MORE HOUSES, MORE JOBS AND MORE SERVICES IN INDIAN TOWN. TERRA LAGO IS GOING TO PROVIDE ALL OF THAT AND MORE.

[01:35:02]

AND THIS IS WHAT I THINK WE HAVE HERE. OF THE 800 PLUS ACRES. ONLY 464 OF THEM ARE BEING DEVELOPED. THE BALANCE OF THE LAST 42% OF THE LAND WILL BE IN LAKES. WETLANDS OPEN SPACES WHAT IT PRESERVES. THE LAYOUT OF THE HOLMES SHOW THAT EVERYONE WILL BE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF ONE OF THE NATURAL PLAYGROUNDS IN THEIR COMMUNITY. I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH CONSTRUCTION FOR OVER 50 YEARS. DEVELOPERS USUALLY ARE LOOKING TO SQUEEZE OUT EVERY LAST DOLLAR OUT OF THE LAND, REGARDLESS OF THE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY. GARCIA HAS COMMUNITY IMPACT ON THE TOP OF ITS LIST. I BELIEVE THEIR HOMES WILL BRING WORKERS. THAT EMPLOYERS WILL WELCOME ROOFTOPS ARE WHAT WILL ENCOURAGE MORE BUSINESSES TO LOCATE HERE. PROVIDING EVEN MORE JOBS. HOMES AND BUSINESSES WILL HELP US DIVERSIFY OUR PROPERTY TAX AND COME BASE, SO WE BECOME MORE SELF RELIANT AND CAN AFFORD ALL OF THE OTHER ITEMS ON OUR COMMUNITY WISHLIST. INDIAN TOWN IS SURROUNDED BY NATURAL PRESERVES, MAKING US A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH. TERRA LAGO IS DESIGNED TO BLEND RIGHT IN WITH WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE. AND I WELCOME THEM AS MY NEW NEIGHBOR.

[01:40:06]

SOMEBODY'S BEEN. I'LL PICK THAT UP SICK, UM, REVIEWING YOUR PLANS FROM 2019 YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN. AND YOUR PLANS FOR 2021. YOU ARE MOVING THIS VILLAGE FORWARD, AND WE TRULY APPRECIATE THAT. WE APPRECIATE THE DUE DILIGENCE THAT YOU'RE PUTTING INTO IT. I RECALL WE HAD CONVERSATIONS. WHEN YOU GUYS WERE RUNNING FOR CANDIDATES FOR THE COUNCIL, DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

I'M VERY, VERY, VERY PLEASED TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND I DO THINK. THAT THE TERRA LAGO PROJECT IS GOING TO BE A TREMENDOUS ASSET TO THIS COMMUNITY. AND I REITERATE, UM WHAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS ALREADY MENTIONED. THANK YOU. THAT SHE LOVES WHEN I HAVE MET HIM, MAYOR. YES, THERE WAS ATTORNEY THANK YOU, MARY. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT FOR THE PURPOSES OF RECORD THERE WAS A MOTION PREVIOUSLY AS WE HAD DISCUSSED IT BEFORE WE HAD ITEMS SEVEN, WHICH HAD TWO RESOLUTIONS IN AN ITEM 8 99. TO CLARIFY THE FOR THE RECORD. I TAKE IT TO THE MOTION WAS DIRECTED TO ITEMS SEVEN, WHICH IS THE TWO RESOLUTIONS. IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION TO THAT. DO THAT. ONE OTHER EXTREMELY MINOR THING THAT WAS ACTUALLY. SORTED OUT WITH THE DEVELOPER TODAY YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU A BRIEF MEMORANDUM THAT HAS, UM, A COUPLE ONE TWEAK IN A. 70 PAGE DOCUMENT THAT'S IN THE EU DE AMENDMENT. IT'S THE ADDITION OF A COUPLE WORDS SIMPLY SAYS THAT WHEN THE DEVELOPER IS ALSO ALLOWED TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS, ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS OR CLEAN UP THE PARK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT THEY'VE GOT TO CLEAR IT WITH THE VILLAGE FIRST. THAT'S WHAT THAT LANGUAGES DEVELOPERS PERFECTLY FINE WITH IT. IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T COME UP WE'RE DOING BEFORE SO I WOULD ASK WITH REGARD TO THE EMOTIONS THAT'S ON THE FLOOR. THAT THIS, UH ONE TWEAK WITH REGARD TO THE PDM MEMBER BE INCORPORATED.

ALL RIGHT? YEAH YEAH, WE ALL NODDED. YES IS THAT THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL? I'M JUST SAYING. ALL RIGHT. SO. ARE WE GOING TO GET EMOTIONAL FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION OR YES, FOR THE THIRD TIME I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION. AM I GOING TO GET A SECOND? OKAY? DOES THIS MEAN THIS FAIL AND WE'RE GONNA OKAY, SO IS THERE ANOTHER MOTION? IS THERE ANOTHER MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION FOR HAVE R E G AS NUMBER ONE AND THEN DO NUMBER TWO. I'LL SECOND THAT. AH! COUNCIL DISCUSSION. YEAH, THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS, UM. UM TRUSTING OUR STAFF. AND THE STAFF HAS RANKED THEM AND AGAIN, I SAID, LIKE I SAID, AT OUR LAST MEETING THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 20 POINTS, WHICH, IN MY OPINION THAT IS SIGNIFICANT IN ORDER FOR US TO SELECT A FIRM. FOR THE VILLAGE HALL. BUT IT APPEARS THAT. IT APPEARS THAT THIS THIS COUNCIL HAS ALREADY MOVING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. I'M DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR THAT IF THE VOTE IS PASSED FOR THE SECOND, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE, UM, WITH WITH THESE 20 POINTS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE BEST, UM. TO UH, IN THE IN THE PROJECT THAT IS GOING TO, UM. BE AROUND FOR A VERY LONG TIME. SO, UM. YOU KNOW, WE HAD COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WERE NOT HERE, UM, FOR THE VOTE LAST WEEK OR AT OUR LAST COUNCIL MEETING. AND SO YOU KNOW, I JUST HOPE THAT WE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. WHEN A MINUTE

[01:50:04]

TO JUST MAKE THE COMMENT THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD, THE OVERWHELMING NEED IS GOING TO BE FOR WATER AND SEWER. YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALREADY HEARD THAT AND THEN ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE THAT ARE ON OUR PLATE AND ON THE HORIZON. AND AS WE HEARD THIS EVENING BY THE REPORT BY MR DANIEL MANGROVE THAT. OF ALL THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE GOING. I THINK WE NEED TO CONCENTRATE AND FOCUS ON WHAT IS CRUCIAL FOR THIS COMMUNITY SUCCESS. AND RIGHT NOW, I BELIEVE WE HAVE BIGGER FISH TO FRY THAN A CITY HALL. THINK WE NEED TO MOVE AHEAD AND. DO YOU KNOW, UM, MULTI PROJECT PROJECTS APPROACH WHICH WE'VE SEEN SO THAT'S MY THOUGHTS. I WILL GO. YES I UNDERSTAND. I DID NOT COME TO THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING. UM BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY BUT THAT I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE, UM. YOUR PRESENTATIONS LAST NIGHT, AND ONE OF THE THINGS IS THAT I PERSONALLY HAVE NOT WORKED WITH GREG. BUT I DO KNOW THAT THEY WORK WITH THE DIOCESE UPON ME TONIGHT DID HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE THAT. DOES CONSTRUCTION ALL DAY EVERY DAY, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE DID TELL ME WAS UM. WHEN YOU CONSIDER SOMETHING IMPORTANT LIKE THIS, YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A STATISTIC. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A NUMBER. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I DID SAY WREG, UM, FOR BECAUSE THEY'RE LOCAL.

THEY'RE IN PALM BEACH. THEY CAN COME DOWN WHENEVER, UM. AND YOU KNOW THEY'VE ALREADY WORKED WITH THE COMMUNITY, SO THAT'S MY REASONING. COUNCILOR. MEANT STONE. SO THE REASONS RIGHT DECISION IS. I FEEL LIKE THERE ARE SMALLER FIRM. IT'S EASIER TO COMMUNICATE TYPICALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A SMALLER FIRM. AH YOU AND ME PERSONALLY, I LIKE DEALING WITH THE OWNER. I LIKE DEALING WITH SOMEONE THAT I CAN NEGOTIATE. I CAN SAY HEY, LISTEN , THIS IS WHAT I WANT, AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO TELL ME. WE HAVE TO GO BY THE BOOKS. AND I'M NOT SAYING WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT OF THE BOOKS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I LIKE THAT PERSONAL COMMUNICATION. AND THAT'S THE REASON FOR MY TO SAY.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO OVERCOME. SORRY PUBLIC PUBLIC COMMENTS, PUBLIC COMMENTS. I DID. I THINK I SAID I DO NOT HAVE ANY MADAM MAYOR. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY.

ROAD COUGH. HOW UP? WHO IS I'M A LITTLE. ALLIES OF THE BIGGER FIRM AND A SMALL FIRM IS THERE IS A BIGGER FRONT AND A SMALL PROBLEM. MM HMM. SAM. MADAM MAYOR, IF I MAY . I DON'T THINK THERE SHOULD BE , UH, ISSUE IF THE FIRM IS BIGGER. NO, NO, I'M JUST NO, NO, NO, I'M JUST SAYING, EVERYBODY, I THINK IT JUST BULLETS DOWN TO THE QUALIFICATIONS AND THAT? YEAH. THANK YOU. LET ME JUST. ASKED MR VILLAGE MANAGER, THIS WOULD BE. IF YOU CAN NEGOTIATE WITH THEM, AND IF IT FELLS, IT CAN GO TO EAGLE RIGHT. WE'LL BE FOLLOWING THE CCN, A PROCESS WHICH. IF YOU GO WITH THIS, WE'RE JUST GOING TO REVERSE THE ORDER AND START WITH WITH R E G FIRST. AT ROLL CALL. COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS. HI. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. YES. COUNCIL

WE HAVE A FIVE DAY WEEKEND PLANNED. FIVE DAYS. YES JANUARY 13TH, WE'RE GOING TO BE IN JENSEN BEACH. JANUARY 14TH. WE'RE GOING TO BE IN HOPES SOUND . JANUARY, 15TH. WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE AND BEAUTIFUL INDIAN TOWN. JANUARY 16TH, WE'RE GOING TO BE IMPORTANT TO LEARN. OH AND JANE WERE 17TH. WE ENDED OFF IN STUART. THE CITY OF STEWART IS WHERE WE HOST THE PARADE, WHICH THE VILLAGE HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE PARADE 2019 AND SO WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING IS REQUESTING, UM, BOUNCE HOUSES. AND PORTER PARTIES. I'VE BEEN TO THE SWAMP FIST. I'VE BEEN TO THE MLK 2019 HERE AND THE RESTROOMS OUT THERE. ONE PERSON RESTROOM. YOU HAVE KIDS AND ADULTS USING IT, IT TENDS TO OVERFLOW. THERE'S A LONG WAITING TIME. SO THIS TIME WE'RE REQUESTING, UH, I THINK I SUBMITTED FOR THREE OR FOUR PORTER. LET'S TO HAVE OUT THERE AND BOUNCE HOUSES WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A KID ZONE. I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE THE BEAUTIFUL PARK ACROSS THE STREET. BUT WE LIKE TO DO IT IN THE BIGGER FIELD. THAT WAY. NO ONE'S THE LITTLE KIDS AREN'T GOING BACK AND FORTH TO THE PLAYGROUND AREA WITH TRAFFIC GOING BY. IF THERE'S. NO ISSUE WITH BLACK IN THE ROAD OFF THEN, THEN WE WON'T HAVE THAT ISSUE WITH THE KIDS CROSSING THE STREET TO GO TO THE PLAYGROUNDS . SO THOSE WAS MY REQUEST THAT I SUBMITTED. TO YOU GUYS THIS YEAR FOR APPROVAL. LIKE I SAID, WE WILL. I THINK THAT, UM, APPLICATION FOR YOU GUYS AGAIN PARTICIPATE IN THE PARADE. UM AND YEAH, WE WOULD LIKE TO COME TO YOUR CITY ONCE AGAIN AND HAVE AN EMAIL K FESTIVITY. IN A DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL. YES, I DO HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. AS FAR AS ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO BE DOING, LIKE ANY SPONSORSHIP OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? THE THING WITH ME SINCE I'M WITH THE CITY OF STEWART, THE CITY OF STEWART SPONSORS ME ONLY FOR MONDAY. SO THE OTHER DAYS THAT I NAMED I HAVE OTHER HOSTS IN THOSE AREAS THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY DO THEIR OWN PRIVATE FUNDING AND FUNDRAISING TO PUT ON THEIR THEIR EVENT. SO UM, BUT THAT'S ALL WITH MARTIN COUNTY AND THE CITY OF STEWART. SO SINCE YOU GUYS THE VILLAGES, SEPARATE ENTITIES FROM ALL OF THEM, SO I'M HERE. MAKING MY REQUEST TO YOU GUYS. OKAY, SO I'M ALL IN FOR THE BARRICADE AND THE PARKS.

BUT AS FAR AS THE PORTA POTTY AND STUFF LIKE THAT, I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD BE ABLE TO RAISE THAT MONEY. ON YOUR OWN, OKAY? COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS. YOU HAVE TO KIND OF BUILD ON THAT

[02:00:02]

THAT INCLUDES, I GUESS BLOCKING THE ROAD AND THE BARRICADES BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE. KIND OF CONSISTENTLY, AND THAT'S OUR THING THAT WE DO FOR EVENTS. YEAH SO I WOULD. YEAH, I AGREE WITH THAT. COUNT. WOMAN. HER NAME IS. UM. I WOULD DO THE TOILETS JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW ALSO CAUSE IT'S LIKE 190. FOR ONE TO IT. I DO NOT KNOW THE I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT, BECAUSE I'M PAYING IT FOR MY FESTIVAL. IT'S 1 90 FROM FREEDOM. PORTABLES, UM SO I WOULD PROBABLY INCLUDE. IF THEY NEED MORE, JUST SO THAT YOU KNOW THEY HAVE TO THE ONE THERE AND THEN THE ONE QUARTER BODY.

UM BECAUSE WE DO NEED A ADDRESS THAT IN THE FUTURE, UM IN REGARDS OF HAVING. AH YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HOW THAT'S NOT COMMERCIAL. IT'S MORE OF LIKE RESIDENTIAL TYPE OF RESTROOM, BUT WE NEED TO START LOOKING INTO HOW MUCH THAT WOULD COST US. TO UPGRADE THAT, UM, FOR FUTURE USE IS BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF EVENTS THAT HAPPENED DOWN THERE LIKE. THIS ONE FIST AND OTHER EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THAT, UM, JUST WITH THE PARKS. I FEEL BAD FOR LOUIS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW. AND WHEN HE COMES BACK ON MONDAY, IT'S CLOGGED UP AND EVERYTHING AND THEN YOU HAVE YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF FLOORS AND EVERYTHING. SO I WOULD DO THE SPECIAL EVENTS, PERMIT THE BARRICADES AND INCLUDE ONE TOILET. VICE MAYOR. SO I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME, OKAY? LOVE THE IDEA. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE RECOGNIZE SUCH AN ICONID CULTURE. UM. BUT I THINK YOU'RE ASKING IS A LITTLE TOO MUCH DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE WAVING THE PERMIT. UM UM AND A LITTLE BIT OF THE OTHER THINGS, BUT I THINK WITH THE PORTER PARTIES, I THINK IS NOW BECOMES THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN EVENT. AND SO, UM, I THINK IN THE FUTURE. HOW WE CAN SOLVE THIS ISSUE IS THAT WE ACTUALLY DO A SPONSORSHIP PARTNERSHIP.

SOMETHING OF THAT CALIBER SO THAT WE'RE ABLE TO GIVE YOU THE FINE SO THAT YOU CAN GO BY YOUR PORTER PARTIES AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. UM I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO OUR STAFF TO HAVE TO GO AND ORDER THEM OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. UM IF THAT IS THE CASE, BUT, UM, SUPPORT THIS. I AGREE WITH SOME OF WHAT THE COUNCIL MEMBERS SAID WITH THE PERMIT WAVE FEE IF THERE'S BARRICADES, THINGS LIKE THAT. UM BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT, UH , THE ASK IS IT'S A GREAT ASK.

ESPECIALLY UM, WITHIN THIS TIME , CAUSE A LOT OF US NEED TIME TO DIGEST ALL OF THIS IF YOU GET ME SO, UM, BUT WHATEVER THE COUNCIL DECIDES, ALL SUPPORT, I THINK AGAIN. THIS IS A GREAT EVENT. WE ATTENDED THE MLK PARADE OF FEW YEARS AGO BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, SO YOU KNOW, UM THE LAST THING I DON'T WANT TO DO IS CALLED IN THE DIVISION AND TRY TO STOP WATER ON. YOU KNOW THE FIRE THAT IS BEING LIT, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. YOU KNOW, WE WE'VE THIS COUNCIL HAS HAD. QUITE A BIT OF REQUESTS COMING FROM THE COMMUNITY, AND I THINK THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO MAYBE AT OUR STRATEGIC MEETING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON, UM. HOW WE CAN GET FUNDS TO NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. UM, SO, UM, BUT AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REQUEST AND COMING AND WHATEVER THE PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL THANK YOU. UM I CONCUR WITH ALL THEM SO I WILL DONATE TO POETIC PORTA POTTY MYSELF. AND SO CAN I GET A MOTION TO WAIVE THE FEE? AND AH, BLOCKED THE ROADS. THAT WHAT? IT WAS A COUPLE OTHER QUESTIONS.

GO AHEAD. BEEN A LONG DAY, MERYL GO AHEAD AND HANDLE. THE TITLE FOR 16. OKAY, WAIT. AN ORDINANCE

[16.  

ORDINANCE NO: XX-2021: AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN PERSONNEL REGULATIONS; PROVIDING FOR FINDINGS, SEVERABILITY, CONFLICTS, NON-CODIFICATION, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

ENOUGH FOR ME. CANNOT GET EMOTION WAS SO MOVED. AND DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL.

COUNCILWOMAN SUSAN GIBBS TOWN YEAH. THE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY THIS WEEK I WAS SCROLLING THROUGH THE. THE VILLAGE WEBSITE LOOKED TRANSPARENCY, TRANSPARENCY PAGE AND I WAS LOOKING AT SOME DIFFERENT THINGS. AND I SAW SOMETHING THAN ABOUT, UM. AND IT HAS TO PERTAIN TO THIS, UM. THE VILLAGE CHARTER GAVE THE VILLAGE COUNCIL THE RESPONSIBILITY AND DUTY TO MAKE

[02:40:03]

[02:45:02]

WE'RE NOT HERE TO MICROMANAGE. UM WE SET POLICIES AND YOU KNOWR SOMETHING TO GET ONTO THE AGENDA. PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT IT HAS TO TAKE A FEW WEEKS, PROBABLY TO GET IT ON THE AGENDA. SO IT CAN BE A FEW WEEKS. IT COULD BE A MONTH OR IT TOOK IT TO AGENDA BY THE TIME.

THAT PERSON OR WHOEVER THE VILLAGE MANAGERS TRYING TO RETAIN AS AN EMPLOYEE. HE'S NOT GOING TO WAIT. HE'S GOING TO GO. SO IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RETAINING. AH CURRENT EMPLOYEE AND GIVING THEM WHAT ASKING, YOU KNOW? I PERSONALLY THINK THAT THE VILLAGE MANAGER SHOULD HAVE THAT AUTHORITY JUST BECAUSE WE BRED TO COME UP ONTO IT. ONTO AGENDA CAN TAKE FROM TWO WEEKS TO A MONTH. BY THAT TIME, IT'S TOO LATE AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PHASE OF TRYING TO GET SOMEONE ELSE. AND THEN THROUGH THE, UM, JOB POSTING, IT COULD TAKE 23 MONTHS. WHAT ABOUT YOU DON'T FIND ANYONE. YEAH IT JUST MAKES YOU GO IN CIRCLES AND CIRCLES AND CIRCLES. SO. IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE GIVING HIM EVERYTHING HE NOTIFIES. AND THAT'S WHY I LIKE ABOUT MR BROWN IS THAT HE NOTIFIES AS US EVEN IF HE DOESN'T HAVE TO HEAL, NOTIFY US.

THAT'S THE TRANSPARENCY THE I SEE THAT. IF ANYTHING COMES ABOUT, HE WILL NOTIFY US VIA EMAIL. HE'LL CALL US SO THERE'S NOTHING ILLEGAL GOING ON AND LET ME JUST MAKE THAT SURE BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL TWIST IT UP AND SAY THAT. THINGS ARE BEING DONE HERE IN THIS IS TRANSPARENT AS IT CAN BE, AND THIS IS BEING DONE IN OTHER CITIES AND OTHER COUNTIES AND OTHER MUNICIPALITIES THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE COUNTRY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE STATE, AND I THINK THAT. THIS IS NOT REACHING OVER BOUND OR ANYTHING . IT'S LIKE WHAT THE UM VILLAGE ATTORNEY SAID, UH IT USUALLY BEND OVER FOR THE VILLAGE MANAGER. UM AND YOU KNOW. IF I CAN SAVE THE HEADACHE OF TRYING TO GO THROUGH THAT WHOLE PROCESS OF KEEPING THAT EMPLOYEE I AM FOR IT SO. I THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO DO, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE JOB MARKET'S CRAZY NO ONE CAN FIND SOMEONE GO TO A RESTAURANT. GO TO, UH, A DEALERSHIP. GO. EVERYONE'S HIRING. WHY? BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE JUST LEAVING AND GETTING BETTER OPPORTUNITIES SOMEWHERE ELSE AND. IT'S HARD HERE IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. IT'S SO HARD BECAUSE WHY? BECAUSE WE'RE. WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. YOU HAVE TO DRIVE DRIVING FROM PARSING LUCID TO HERE IS HOW MUCH LIKE 45 MINUTES, DEPENDING ON TRAFFIC, BECAUSE THAT'S WHY I DID THIS YESTERDAY, 45 MINUTES TO GO BACK AND FORTH FROM. AH JENSEN BEACH TO HEAR, UM. LET'S JUST SAY WEST PALM BEACH ANOTHER 45 MINUTES.

EVERYONE HAS TO COME FROM THE OUTSKIRTS USUALLY. SO IF WE WANT OUR CURRENT EMPLOYEES TO STAY HERE, WELL, WE NEED TO OFFER THEM SOMETHING THAT ARE YOU KNOW OUR VILLAGE MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE . SO I AM FOR THIS AND THIS IS NOT OVERREACHING. AND I'M NOT HERE TO MICROMANAGE WHAT THE VILLAGE MANAGER IS DOING. HE IS DOING WHAT HE HAS TO DO IT AND HE'S DOING IT CORRECTLY. HE DOES EVERYTHING TO THE T. AND HE NOTIFIES US WITHOUT YOU KNOW, GOING OVER AROUND. WELL A VILLAGE ATTORNEY. I THINK THAT'S WHY I ASKED FOR YOU TO PUT THE LANGUAGE IN THERE, SO ANYTHING OBSESSIVE WILL BE STOPPED. AND I DON'T THINK NOBODY'S HERE TO RISK THAT. UM IT'S. I THINK WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING. WE'RE NOT RELENT. ISHAN NO WHOLE TAKEOVER OR NOTHING. ANYBODY IN BUSINESS WHO WANT TO, YOU KNOW, I SHOULD PUT MR JENKINS ON THE SPOT. BUT ANDY WHO? UH, MISS. UM

[02:50:03]

HOW WILL IT BE STOPPED? WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT. WAIT WAIT. JUST PUT THE ART SUSAN, COME ON. SO IF IT SAID HE NOTIFIES THAT WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO REFUSE IT, HE JUST NOTIFIES US OF WHAT HE'S DONE. DID GET HOLD UP. I'M NOT LET WAIT. SPEAK RIGHT NOW BECAUSE HE GET PAID TO CLARIFY THIS BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE HAD SOME LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT WE COULD RETRACT THIS IF IT BECOMES EXCESSIVE. THAT'S THE ONLY REASON WHY I'M GOING TO AGREE TO LET LET'S LET'S SKIPS. SO THE.

PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL ACTION THAT WHOEVER THE VILLAGE MANAGER IS ALL RIGHT NOW IN THE FUTURE.

WHAT HAVE YOU? UM IF. THEY EXERCISE THAT AUTHORITY. THEY'RE GOING TO NOTIFY YOU, OKAY? THIS LANGUAGE DOES NOT SAY THAT IF IN THAT INSTANCE, THERE. HE EXTENDS THAT ADDITIONAL. WHAT HAPPENED THAT WAY I KNOW THAT BACK. WHAT IT IS IF YOU ALL SEE THAT AND SAY THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND , YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY COME AND SAY WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT ORDINANCE BACK. WE NEED TO TAKE THAT AUTHORITY AWAY AND THAT THE ABILITY TO AMEND YOUR ORDINANCE TO TAKE THAT AUTHORITY BACK.

WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THERE BECAUSE IT'S BY ORDINANCE WITH REGARD TO ANY INDIVIDUAL ACTION THAT HE DOES. YOU CAN'T GO BACK IN TIME AND UNDO THAT ONE. BUT YOU CAN FIX IT GOING FORWARD, CORRECT.

YOU WANT TO SPEAK AGAINST SUSAN? AH PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITS FOR DISCUSSION. MM. NO. YOU NEED TO YEAH. YOU GOT TO GIVE YOUR NAME IS LINDA. GOTTA BE ON RECORD, SWEETHEART. SUSAN MAY WANT YOU HAVE TO BE ON THE BIKE. WHAT ITEM IS THIS? PRESIDENT. CAN AN ORDINANCE OVERRIDE THE CHARTER? SO GREAT QUESTION. THIS LANGUAGE AS IT IS HERE, DOES NOT OVERRIDE OR CONFLICT WITH THAT CHARTER PROVISIONS FOR CLARIFICATION WAY YEAH, GREAT QUESTION AND ORDINANCE CAN'T OVERRIDE MUNICIPAL CHARTER PROVISIONS. OKAY BUT WHAT THE CHARTER PROVIDES IS THAT BY ORDINANCE, THE VILLAGE COUNCIL WILL SET UP A SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL REGULATIONS, OKAY? WE ARE SPECIFYING WITHIN THOSE PERSONNEL REGULATIONS ADOPTED IN BEING AMENDED BY ORDINANCE HERE , THAT THE VILLAGE MANAGER HAS THIS AUTHORITY TO DO THIS. THERE ARE NUMBER OF OTHER PLACES WITHIN. THE PERSONNEL REGULATIONS WHERE THE VILLAGE MANOR MANAGER HAS THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE DECISIONS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. THE REASON FOR THAT IS. THE VILLAGE MANAGERS, ONE WHO HIRES FIRES MANAGES AND DISCIPLINES ALL THE EMPLOYEES. OKAY SO THERE'S ALL MANNER OF AUTHORITY EXERCISED BY THE VILLAGE MANAGER PURSUANT TO THE LANGUAGE IN THOSE PERSONNEL REGULATIONS. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER PIECE OF THAT AUTHORITY. THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY. DID YOU GET CLARIFICATION WAS MALCOLM. YES. OKAY. SUSAN GIBBS. THOMAS. I JUST. WANT TO FOR TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS. THIS THIS ORDINANCE, SECOND READING GOES THROUGH. AND THERE IS, UM THE MANAGER HIRE SOMEONE GOES OUT BEYOND OUR CURRENT POLICY AND BENEFITS. I MEAN, IT OFFERS SOME SIX MONTHS WORTH OF VACATION. AND WE COME BACK AND WE SAID WELL, WAIT A MINUTE AND WERE NOTIFIED WITHIN SEVEN DAYS THAT THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENED, OKAY? SO WE SAID, WELL, WAIT A MINUTE . THAT'S GETTING A LITTLE EXCESSIVE. WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT SITUATION. CORRECT.

OKAY THAT'S RIGHT. BUT MOVING FORWARD. WE CAN COME BACK AND WE CAN SAY OKAY, WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT ORDINANCE BECAUSE IT'S GETTING A LITTLE EXCESSIVE. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT AUTHORITY BACK BACK, OKAY? THANK YOU. SO AS AS IT GOES ALONG, WE HAVE NO AUTHORITIES SAY YEA OR NAY, IT'S JUST IF IT GETS EXCESSIVE, THEN WE COME BACK AND SAY WE'VE HAD ENOUGH. BUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THAT POINT STAYS? OR IF IT'S TO BE REALLY CLEAR OR IF IT'S NOT EXCESSIVE.

YOU JUST CHANGE YOUR MIND LATER ON THE POWER TO AMEND ORDINANCES IS THE COUNCIL'S POWER. AND A MORE DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL ANYMORE PUBLIC COMMENTS COULD NOT HAVE ANY META MAYOR. I'M SO READY TO GO. WAS THIS DISCUSSION OR WAS THIS FOR THIS IS FOR SECOND READING AND ADOPTION, SO I WOULD IMAGINE REAL CALLED BE IN ORDER. MADAM CLERK. COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS NO. COUNCIL

Discussion of  School Bus Transportation Issues

THEY ARE LEGALLY ALLOWED THREE TO A SEAT. ILLEGALLY BUT I MEAN PICTURE THREE OF US SITTING IN ONE SEAT. BELIEVE ME, I KNOW AND ALSO COMES. THE QUESTION TOO, IS THEY'RE ACTUALLY THREE SEAT BELTS AVAILABLE TO EACH OF THOSE CHILDREN. THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION. BUT LEGALLY. YOU CAN PUT THREE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO SEE. MAY NOT BE ETHICALLY CORRECT. LEGALLY THOUGH THEY ARE WITHIN THE LAW TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. JUST KIND OF A I JUST THINK IT'S CRAZY. IT IS. ANY OTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS. VICE MARY. YEAH I THINK WE GOT OURSELVES IN SOME HOT WATER.

THE LAST TIME WE DID SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS. SO FOR ME IF THERE IS A LETTER THAT IS COMING FROM THIS COUNCIL, I WON'T BE SIGNING IT. ANY PUBLIC. AND THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS. PUBLIC COMMENTS. YES, IN A SERIOUS. SO MY NAME IS ANNA FARIAS AND ANTHONY. I APPROACHED YOU WHEN MY SON WAS IN FRESHMAN YEAR IN SOUTH THIS ISSUE IS NOT NEW. AND IT IS. IMPORTANT TO ME THAT IT GETS ADDRESSED. BECAUSE MY KIDS GO TO THIS SCHOOL. IF MY KID IS WRITING THIS BUS AND SOMETHING HAPPENS, I DON'T CARE IF IT'S LEGALLY OR NOT. LEGALLY, IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN. WE DON'T NEED TO WAIT INTO SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THEM ADDRESS IT. WE GOT BIGGER FISH TO FRY. THAT'S CORRECT. BUT. SAFETY IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD NEVER LOOKED OVER. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE. KIDS DON'T PARTICIPATE IN A LOT OF THINGS BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION. WE TALK ABOUT PEOPLE COMING INTO TOWN OUT OF TOWN. IS TRAVELING. AND MONEY THERE. AND THE FACT IS THAT A LOT OF TIMES THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BECAUSE IT'S INDIAN TOWN. IT'S NOT NEEDED.

APPARENTLY, OUR SCHOOLS ARE NOT OVERCROWDED. FIFTH GRADE IS MOVING FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL TO THE ELEMENTARY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S GOING TO DO TO MIDDLE SCHOOL. BUT RIGHT NOW, WITH COVID AND REFLECTING IN OTHER SCHOOLS. WE DON'T HAVE SMALL SIZE CLASSROOMS. WE'RE THINKING OF BUILDING A NEW HIGH SCHOOL. WE HAVE A BIGGER COMMUNITY COMING AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE PICTURES. FROM MANY DIFFERENT YEARS. IT IS NOT JUST THREE FT.

THERE WAS KIDS SITTING UNDER. I'LL NOT ON OUR FEET. SO WHAT IS IT? WE'RE JUST. THINKING OH,

[03:05:05]

WE DO NEED TO READ BEFORE WE SIGN. AH! AND THAT'S UH BEHIND THE SCENES WHAT PEOPLE DON'T SEE . AND NO, BUT IF YOU HAVE A PARENT WRITING AND YOU GET OTHER PEOPLE, I'M WILLING TO SIGN IT BECAUSE YOU ARE PART OF THE VILLAGE. IT IS A SCHOOL BOARD ISSUE. AND PROBABLY WOULD NEED TO GO OVER THERE AND SPEAK TO THEM WITH A NUMBER OF PARENTS, BUT ALSO WITH THE BACKING OF A LETTER FROM THE VILLAGE TO AT LEAST. ADDRESS THAT ISSUE AND THAT BLIND STUDENT I BELIEVE THAT STUDENT CATCH THAT MORE. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN NOW TO GO TO COLLEGE, SO YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO ENROLLMENT, STUDENT AND ROMANCE, SO THAT'S A BIGGER ISSUE. ALL TOGETHER BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF KIDS IN INDIAN TOWN THAT DON'T PARTICIPATE IN THE DORM ROOM AND NOT BECAUSE OF GREAT BUT BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION SO THAT THE MARTY PICKED HIM UP FROM SOUTHFORK AND TAKE HIM OVER . THEY PICKED HIM UP FROM. THE TRAILER PARK ALL THE WAY TO THE CLARION RIVER STEWART, BUT IT WAS A DUAL ENROLLMENT STUDENT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE, UH WELL, THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE WITHIN ITSELF. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THE SCHOOL GET INVOLVED THE TRANSPORTATION BUT I'M 100% TO SUPPORT THAT. BUT LIKE I SAID, IT'S AN UNDERLINING WHY HE SAID WHAT HE SAID. MY DAUGHTER IS GOING TO BEGIN FRESHMAN YEAR NEXT YEAR. AND IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ISSUES WHERE. STUDENTS ARE GOING TO SHARE. NO, I AGREE. MY MOTHER WAS A BUS DRIVER FOR 38 YEARS. IT'S BUT I HAVE THE LUXURY. I WANT TO SAY THAT IN MY HOUSEHOLD, THERE'S TWO VEHICLES . CORRECT PARENTS IN ENGLAND TOWN HALF I AGREE. SO THAT TRANSPORTATION IS WELL KNEADED. THE Y M C. A HAS BEEN TAKING THEIR BUSSES OFF. TRAVELING HERE. SO LEFT BUSSES. HARDER FOR YOUR KIDS TO GO TO SCHOOL. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN DOLLARS? YEAH, IF I COULD, UM. SO AS WE DESCRIBE PUBLISHING A NEW GOVERNMENT AND NEW ORDER, WE HAVE TO REMEMBER WHERE WE NEED TO TAKE OUR COMMENTS. UM DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH HAVING COUNCIL MEMBER. UM UM, STONE, SAYING THAT HE WANTS TO WRITE A LETTER. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS, IF WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH TRANSPORTATION, WE SHOULDN'T BE BRINGING IT HERE. WE NEED TO BRING IT TO THE COUNTY TO THE SCHOOL BOARD. AND SO, UM, BECAUSE IT GETS SO CONVOLUTED BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE A GOVERNMENTAL. ENTITY THAT IS, UH IN BUSINESS OR IN CONFLICT WITH ANOTHER ENTITY. SO ALL I'M SAYING IS TAKE IT TO THE SCHOOL BOARD. SO IF. AGAIN. I'M I'M AS THE COUNCIL IF THEY DECIDE TO DO IT. I'M NOT GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN IT. I GOT A NIECE THAT I TAKE TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THE BUS ARE CROWDED. SO I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE AT THE SCHOOL BOARD, NOT AT THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. WE DON'T HAVE ANY BUSSES. WE DON'T. WE'RE NOT EVEN INVOLVED IN THE SCHOOL BOARD. SO I THINK WE. UM I THINK PEOPLE ARE GETTING EXCITED BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A NEW GOVERNMENT AND WE WANT TO GET OUR ISSUES HEARD, AND I THINK THAT IS WONDERFUL. BUT WE NEED TO TAKE HIM TO THE CORRECT PLACE AND EVEN WHAT COUNSEL WITH WITH, UH. WE'RE EVEN PUTTING THIS ON THE ISSUE.

[03:10:01]

I'M AGAIN. I'M NOT SIGNING IT, BUT WE NEED TO TAKE THESE ISSUES TO THE SCHOOL BOARD WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR MEETING. SO THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. I'M NOT TRYING TO AGAIN THE GATE FROM THE ISSUE BECAUSE. IF IT'S LEGALLY DONE AND WHAT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? SO I JUST WANTED US TO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD. BEAR. COUNCILMAN COUNCILWOMAN. HERNANDEZ YES. UM AND I DO. I RODE THE BUS ALL FOR YEARS BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A CAR. AND MY PARENTS COULDN'T AFFORD IT. UM SO I DO THINK THAT I WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF A LETTER OF SUPPORT IN REGARDS OF MAKING THEM AWARE NOT DEMANDING BECAUSE WE'RE NO ONE TO DEMAND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS THEIR OWN ENTITY, AND WE GOTTA RESPECT THAT, BUT MAKING THEM AWARE OF THE FRUSTRATION THAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE CONSTITUENTS HAVED TO REPRESENT THEM. IF THEY DON'T KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU KNOW THEY THEY FEEL THAT THEY THEY'RE NOT HER. THEY AND WE HAVE AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. WE HAVE I HAVE VICTORIA DIFFERENT DOLLARS PHONE NUMBER. UM AND I ALWAYS HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH HER. UM BECAUSE I HAVE EXPRESSED THAT TO HER. UM BUT I DON'T HAVE THAT CONNECTION WITH ANY OTHER PERSON ON THE BOARD, WHICH I SHOULD START DOING SO THAT THEY CAN BECOME AWARE OF THE SITUATION THAT'S OCCURRING HERE IN ANY TOWN BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE MIGHT SAY THAT. UM THEY ARE AWARE AND THEY DON'T SO I WOULD PROBABLY EVEN INVITE THEM TO COME DOWN TO INDIAN TOWN. AT SEVEN IN THE MORNING AND DO THE BUS WITH ME SO THAT WE CAN SEE THE, UM THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN ANY TOWN BECAUSE. AS IT'S ALWAYS BEEN. WE HAVE ALWAYS FELT LIKE WHERE THE STEP CHILD OF EVERY ENTITY, ALMOST EVERY ENTITY OF THE COUNTY, AND THAT INCLUDES THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. UM. AND YOU KNOW OUR RESIDENTS. OR ASKING THIS BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS ARE GOING THROUGH THIS. YOU DON'T SEE THAT HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER COMMUNITY IN THE EAST COAST, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY BECAUSE THERE'S MORE MONEY. UM I DON'T KNOW THE CASE , AND I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ASSUMPTIONS OR WHATEVER THE CASE IS, BUT. UM IN YOUR TOWN IS ALWAYS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE SPEAKING UP FOR OUR CONSTITUENTS. UM. THINGS HAPPEN LIKE THIS, AND I THINK WE JUST GOT TO MAKE THEM AWARE, NOT DEMAND AND THE OTHER CASE THAT WAS SOMETHING TOTALLY OUT OF THE BLUE. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS ACTUALLY AFFECTING. OUR UM, OUR CONSTITUENTS. IT'S AFFECTING THE FAMILIES. I HAVE PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW. THEY DON'T EVEN WANT TO RIDE THE BUS BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE I'D RATHER CATCH CUT. CATCH A RIDE AND THEY'VE EVEN OFFERED ME TO TAKE THEM. I'M LIKE I DON'T HAVE TIME. SO, UM, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS THIS. ACTUALLY COUNCIL ON THE WOMAN.

THANK YOU. UM. I APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO COME AND STAND BEFORE US AND MAKE YOURSELF HEARD. MY QUESTION IS ALONG THE SAME LINES AS UM. THE VICE MAYOR DOWLING IS. AND ALSO A COUNCIL MEMBER, HERNANDEZ. HAVE HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO THE SCHOOL BOARD. HAVE YOU HAVE YOU HAVE YOU KNOW THESE ARE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU? HAVE YOU GONE AND STOOD BEFORE THE SCHOOL BOARD AND SAID THE SAME THINGS? UM YES. OKAY MY SON GRADUATED IN MAY. HE ATTENDED FOR YEARS, AND HE NOT ONLY. WAS THE PICTURES GIVEN TO THE SCHOOL BOARD. BUT HE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE MEETINGS THAT HE'S SPEAKING OF. AND. AND EVERYTHING THAT'S PUSHED TO THE SIDE KIND OF GO. A NUMBER SAYING IS PUSHED TO THE SIDE HAS BEEN FOUR YEARS OF THE SAME THING WHEN ANTHONY WAS RUNNING. I MENTIONED WHAT WAS HAPPENING, OKAY AND AGAIN YEARS AGO, BY AND BODY AND BY AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. SO MY NEXT QUESTION IS OKAY. YOU SAID THAT THERE ARE CHILDREN THAT ARE UM. HAVING TO RIDE THE BUS IN THE AISLES. YES OKAY, SO AS A PARENT, AND THIS HAS THIS HAS SOME OF THIS HAS TO

[03:15:01]

I'LL GIVE YOU BUT DEFINITELY SHOW UP AT THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING ANYMORE PUBLIC COMMENTS I THINK, MR WILLIAMS? YES? MR WILLIAMS. WHO MILTON WILLIAMS. OKAY SO I COULDN'T HEAR YOU.

SORRY. GO AHEAD, MR WILLIAMS, MILTON. MILTON WAITING FOR THE PUBLIC. FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ACTUALLY ACTUALLY EXCUSE ME RIGHT BEFORE OUT BEFORE I START TEACHING IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION. I WAS A REGULAR T TEACHER, RIGHT? BUT I JUST REMEMBER, UM HAVING U S. I S S AND THEN YOU TELL HIM MY MAMA, BUT, UM, I AGREE WITH YOU . WE ENCOUNTERED ISSUES WANTS TO BUST THIS LEFT. ALL I'M SAYING IS, I THINK I THINK IT IS CENTER LOUDER MESSAGE IF WE HAD PARENTS ATTENDING THE MEETINGS OVER THERE, THEN COMING HERE, THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING AGAIN. I DON'T NEGATE. I DON'T DIMINISH. UH.

THE ISSUE BECAUSE AGAIN I TAKE MY KNEES TO SCHOOL. UM AND SHE'S AT SOUTHFORK. BUT WHAT I AM SAYING IS. AH IF YOU GUYS TAKE THIS ENERGY THAT YOU GUYS ARE HERE WITH AND TAKE IT OVER TO THE SCHOOL BOARD, THEN I THINK YOU'LL BE MORE EFFECTIVE AGAIN. SO THAT'S THAT'S MY. ANY MORE PUBLIC COMMENTS. NO MATTER MAYOR DISCUSSION? ITEM NUMBER OF VILLAGE ME UNDER? YES ITEM

Discussion of the Right-of-Way Located on SW 169th Drive, between Railroad Avenue and Lincoln Street.

[03:25:04]

BECOMES THE GOVERNMENTS TO THE EXTENT OF THE MAINTENANCE, OKAY? UM THE IDEA BASICALLY BEING AT THE GOVERNMENT BUILT IT, BUT THEY NEVER GOT A DEDICATION THAN THEY'VE BEEN MAINTAINING AND ALL THAT TIME. WELL, THE PROPERTY OWNER SHOULD HAVE. KICK THE GOVERNMENT OFF THE LAND AT THAT POINT, AND WHAT HAVE YOU THERE'S ANOTHER ONE. YOU GOT IT. THERE YOU GO. THIS IS THE RED PIECE HERE. IS THERE IS A ROAD PHYSICALLY ON THE LAND. BUT THERE IS NO DEDICATED RIGHT AWAY. AT LEAST THAT IS OF RECORD THAT'S BEEN. MAPPED BY THE PROPERTY PRICES OFFICE. WE HAVEN'T DONE A TITLE SEARCH ON IT. UM BUT THE PROPERTY BRIDGES OFFICER MARTIN COUNTIES, BUT PRETTY GOOD IN MY EXPERIENCE AND HAVING THE SHIN. WE'LL SEE. AND THAT'S THAT. THAT WOULD BE WHEN YOU WHEN YOU DO THAT, BECAUSE I'VE DONE THIS WITH A NUMBER OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WE REPRESENT. WE HAVE TO DO A FACTUAL INQUIRY TO SEE WHAT THE HISTORY OF MAINTENANCE IS WITH REGARD TO BENEFIT IS. AND YOU CAN ESTABLISH THAT THAN YOU CAN GET WITH YOUR ENGINEER AND SURVEYOR AND SO ON, PUT TOGETHER A SKETCH RECORD IT AND THEN THAT ROAD THAT HAD BEEN MAINTAINED IN THAT INSTANCE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO BUILT IT. IT'S FOR SEVEN YEARS. YOU DO KNOW WHO BUILT IF IT WAS THE GOVERNMENT. IT'S FOUR YEARS, BUT EITHER WAY. UM AND YOU CAN DO THAT. BUT THE THING IS. IT IS DISCRETIONARY. WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT? THE VILLAGE. DOESN'T HAVE TO TAKE OVER THAT ROAD, OKAY? AND IT'S SO AS OF RIGHT NOW. THAT'S JUST A PIECE OF ASPHALT ON THE GROUND THAT EVERYBODY DRIVES OVER. THERE IS NO LEGAL RIGHT OF WAY. RECORDED OF RECORDS, ALL RIGHT. I THINK THE QUESTION THAT WAS BROUGHT UP FOR DISCUSSION WAS WHETHER THE COUNCIL WANTED TO PURSUE LOOKING INTO WHETHER OR NOT THAT ROAD SHOULD BE. DEEMED DEDICATED THROUGH THIS PROCESS, AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS BASICALLY THAT WOULD TURN THAT INTO A GOVERNMENT WROTE. AND WHAT IT MEANS. AND ULTIMATELY, THE PROJECT THAT WOULD COME BEFORE YOU'D BE A QUASI JUDICIAL ONE.

BUT I'LL GIVE YOU THE BIG PICTURE ON IT HERE. WHAT IT WOULD MEAN IS THIS WHAT THE PROJECT THAT I THINK IS BEING BOUNCED AROUND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO WORK. WITH THAT ROAD GOING THROUGH IT. IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH. SO. THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT I THINK, UM. AND THIS IS ON FOR DISCUSSION. THIS WOULD NOT BE ANY FINAL DECISION. TONIGHT IN IN MOVING AIR, YOU KNOW, IN SOME FINAL ACTION, NECESSARILY, BUT UM. QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT. YOU WOULD WANT TO PROCEED FORWARD WITH POTENTIALLY DOING THAT, AND I WOULD SUGGEST AT LEAST PART OF THAT. MAYBE CAUSE I SIMPLY DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS. IS THAT GOING TO GO AWAY OR PERMIT? IF THAT WERE TO GO AWAY? WOULD IT BE A. SUBSTANTIAL DETRIMENT TO THE TRAFFIC PATTERN THERE OR TO FOLKS LIVING THERE. IS IT GOING TO BE HIGHLY MISSED? YEAH. HE WAS FIRST. COUNCILMAN. SOME. SO I BELIEVE MR BOSE, YOU ANSWERED, YOU MAY HAVE ANSWERED MY QUESTION. UH SO APPARENTLY THEY NEED THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY IN ORDER TO BUILD WHATEVER THEY WANT TO BUILD. AS AS IT'S BEEN RELAYED TO ME. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING FIRSTHAND ABOUT ANY OF THIS AS I'VE HAD IT PASSED ON TO ME. AND. RIGHT NOW. WE'RE NOT MAINTAINING THE ROAD. WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO IT. THAT'S.

THAT'S SO WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT MAINTAIN THE ROAD. BUT BILL, UH , IS THAT IN OUR ROAD IMPROVEMENT STUDY THAT YOU GUYS DID BACK IN 2018? YES SIR. UM WE ARE MAINTAINING IT AS FAR AS

[03:30:07]

WHEN YOU SAY MAINTAINING IT. UM IF MAINTENANCE IS SIMPLE. LIKE A OVER LADY OR MILLION OVERLAY, OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE WHATEVER WE'RE GONNA DO TO LINCOLN. IN OTHER WORDS, I GOT YOU, UM. LINCOLN IS A COMPLETE REBUILD IF WE WERE TO MILAN OVERLAY THAT ROAD WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT PROBABLY 10 TO $15,000 FOR THAT SMALL SECTION. ADDING IN THE FLARES AT BOTH ENDS, YOU'RE PROBABLY EASILY $15,000. THANK YOU FOR THAT RESPONSE. SO BASICALLY BASED ON WHAT I'M LOOKING AT HERE. PERSONALLY I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE IT UP. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD TRY TO TAKE IT OVER. FOR A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT REASONS. I COULD SEE LAWSUITS MARKING ALL OVER THIS. I CAN SEE WE SPENDING MONEY. THAT'S DON'T NEED TO BE SPENT TRYING TO FIND OUT. WHO OWNED IT FOR THE LAST 47 YEARS. SO AT THIS POINT, I WOULD SAY, JUST LET THEM DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO WITH THEIR PROPERTY. IT'S THEIRS. THAT'S MY OPINION ON THAT. DOING NO. THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THAT ROAD. IS IT OKAY? IS IT DEPLORABLE? IS IT. LIKE ONE TO TAG WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT IT? SURE I WOULD CALL IT BELOW AVERAGE. UM ALL OF THE ROADS IN THAT GENERAL, THE SENATE E. R BELOW AVERAGE, LINCOLN STREET IS FAR BELOW BUT I WOULD PUT THAT AT THAT ROAD.

IN A BELOW AVERAGE CONDITION. UM WE WOULD BE ADDRESSING IT. WE WERE GOING TO BE ADDRESSING IT AS A PART OF THE BOOKER PART PROJECT. WE WERE GOING TO BE. DOING SOME MICRO SURFACING ON THAT ROAD. IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE PROJECT DUE TO OUR RIGHT AWAY SURVEY THAT BOWMAN CONDUCTED IN THAT PARCEL SHOWED NO OWNERSHIP FOR THAT ROAD. SAME THING FOR THE WEST END OF MAGNOLIA STREET. HOWEVER THE COUNTY FILED THE MAINTENANCE DOCUMENTATION THAT MR VOS WAS DISCUSSING. UH THERE IS A MAINTENANCE SURVEY FOR THE WEST END OF MAGNOLIA STREET THAT ALLOWS US OWNERSHIP AND MAINTENANCE OF IT. THIS ROAD NOTHING WAS EVER FILED ON, UM.

AND SO WE REMOVED IT FROM THE BOOK OF PARK PROJECT IF WE WERE TO GO BACK INTO THAT ZONE IN THE FUTURE WITH PAYMENT MAINTENANCE, IT WOULD BE A MICRO SURFACING CANDIDATE. HOW MUCH WOULD THIS ASSUMING THAT WE ONLY MAINTAIN HOW MUCH WOULD THIS COST OF VILLAGE TO LIKE? LIKE IF WE. I'M I'M JUST WHAT I WANTED TO JUST KNOW THAT. ANSWER IF WE GO AHEAD AND DEDICATE THIS AND MAKE IT AN OFFICIAL ROAD AND ALL THAT. WHAT WOULD BE THE COST FOR THE VILLAGE TO DO THAT? FROM MAKING A BETTER ROAD TO MAKING IT A LEGAL ROAD. IS THERE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO? YES MA'AM.

THERE'S A SURVEY. THERE'S A SPECIFIC SURVEY THAT HAS TO BE DONE AND LEGAL DOCUMENTATION FILED. I'M IN GETTING IN. I'M STEPPING INTO WADE'S TERRITORY, BUT I BELIEVE THE LIMITS OF THAT ARE THE LIMITS OF WHAT. THAT LIMITS OF THAT ARE THE LIMITS OF WHAT WE MAINTAIN. SO THE DRAINAGE SWALES ON THE SIDE UP TO THE BACK OF THE SWALES AND THE ROAD ITSELF WOULD BE THE LIMITS OF WHAT WE WOULD. WHAT WE WOULD TAKE FOR RIGHT OF WAY IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN WEIGHT OR NOT RIGHT AWAY, BUT THE MAINTENANCE I FORGET THE TERMINOLOGY, THE LIMITS OF THE ACTUAL MAINTENANCE, WHICH IS. VAGUE IN AND OF ITSELF, BUT, UM. BUT YEAH , AND AS BILL WAS INDICATING THERE WOULD BE A SURVEY THAT WOULD THAT WOULD SPECIFY THAT AND LOOK AT RECORDS ON THAT THAT WOULD HAVE PROFESSIONAL FEES GOING WITH THAT AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT TO THE CONSTRUCTION I WOULD LEAVE THAT TO BILL. COURT LET ME JUST MENTION ONE THING. I'M EXPLAINING THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A WONKY STATUTE, RIGHT? BUT MY OFFICE LEASE AND I DON'T RECALL

[03:35:02]

HAVE SOMETHING DEDICATED. SO. I HAVE NO RECOMMENDATION TO YOU ALL AT ALL WITH REGARD TO WHAT YOU DOING, OKAY, COUNSELOR, AND YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL. YOU COULD SAY, LEAVE IT ALONE, AND THAT'S THE END OF IT GIVES THOMAS I'M SORRY . I CONCUR WITH COUNCILMAN SO AND I THINK THAT. IT WAS GOING TO NEED A LOT OF WORK AND WE CAN INVEST OUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

VICE MIRROR. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE'S A GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT WE ARE OKAY WITH BECAUSE I AGREE WITH YOU, SO WE'RE AT THREE SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD DISCRETION, THOUGH, BUT, YEAH, PUBLIC GOT TO COMMENT ON IT. PUBLIC DOMINANT. MARJORIE.

BARRY, I HAVE A CARD FOR YOU. I HAVE A. THE BUS. I GUESS I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS ON THIS NUMBER ONE. I'M LOOKING AT THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE RIGHT. I'M GUESSING THEY BUILT THAT HOUSE AFTER THAT ROAD WAS THERE WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF TURNING THAT ROAD OVER TO SOMEBODY ELSE? MM IS THAT GOING TO DIRECT MORE TRAFFIC AROUND THAT LITTLE HOUSE CAUSE MORE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF THEM, AND ALSO OF THE PEOPLE OF BOOKER PARK HAVE BEEN USING THAT ROAD FOR DECADES. UM. SHOULDN'T THE PEOPLE OF BOOKER PARK BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS DISCUSSION? MAYBE. MAYBE BRING IT UP. AT ANOTHER MEETING AND NOT YOU GUYS DECIDE RIGHT NOW, THE DISCUSSION WE'RE NOT DECIDED NOTHING, MISS MARJORIE. OKAY BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAYBE HAVE THE PEOPLE OF BOOKER PARKWAY. THE PROPOSAL. OF THE LAND ON THE LEFT AND HOW THAT WOULD AFFECT THEIR DECISION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANTED TO KEEP THAT ROAD OPEN FOR THEMSELVES. MM HMM. LINDA NIKON. I JUST JUST JUST A QUESTION. DOES THIS SAME PERSON OWN BOTH PIECES OF PROPERTY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. HOW DO THE LANDOWNERS WANT THIS RESOLVED? DO THEY WANT. THE VILLAGE, TAKE OVER A ROAD OR DO THEY WANT TO MERGE THEIR PROPERTIES INTO ONE PIECE? ACTUALLY, I'M GETTING INTO. THE PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY ALREADY ONE PIECE. I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN ZOOM IN ON THAT. BUT THAT PARCEL LINE BELONGS TO THE. KIND OF. TO ANOTHER. YEAH THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT IN BETWEEN. ON THIS, ALL RIGHT? THAT'S TRUE. THAT'S WHAT BELONGS TO THIS PERSON. OH, I MEAN, THEY NEVER DID NOTHING.

NOW. NAME, PLEASE. YEAH, WE CAN'T TALK OUT OF TIME. I'M A LITTLE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROPERTY BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO ACQUIRE IT MYSELF. SO WHEN I WAS TRYING TO DO THAT, ONE THING I NOTICED BACK IN 2000 AND SEVEN SAY DEMOLISHED. W CAMP WHEN THEY DEMOLISH THINGS THEY HAVE TO PULL A PERMIT TO DEMOLISH. SO IF THEY LEGALLY ON LEGALLY. BUILD THE ROAD. FOR WHATEVER THEY HAD GOING ON. THEN WITH THAT, I'M BORN AND RAISED. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS WHEN, WHEN THE APARTMENTS WERE THERE, AND THEY DECIDED TO TAKE IT DOWN. THEY SHOULD HAVE LOOKED INTO THE FACT THAT WHEN THEY PULLED THE PERMIT AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE UTILITIES WERE TAKING RIPPED OFT IT WAS, IT HAS TO BE CLARIFIED SOMEWHERE IN THOSE PERMITS. WELCOME. WELL, THE ONE THING I DID FIND WHAT WAS THAT SOME SOME INFRASTRUCTURES WERE LEFT THERE. AND. I WANT TO SAY THAT THAT WAS PART OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WAS UTILIZED FOR WHAT WAS THERE BACK IN THAT AT THE TIME? NOW

[03:40:02]

WHAT IS GOING ON? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS? SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THIS TO ME. IS IT OKAY IF WE TALK ABOUT IT OFFLINE? AH! I JUST WANT TO SEE BECAUSE BECAUSE NO, NO ACTIONS WILL BE MADE TONIGHT. UM AND WE'VE ALREADY HAD THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO, U. WE'RE NOT VOTING ON IT TONIGHT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT VOTING ON IT TONIGHT. STAND IT AFTER ALL THIS TIME. YES I WANT THE VILLAGE TO BE WANTED US TO INCORPORATE. BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO COME IN AND TAKE STUFF FROM MY PARENTS, AND THAT. OH NO, NO, NO. I MEAN, YEAH, NONE OF THIS PROPERTY AND I KNOW I'VE BEEN IN THIS RED IN THAT AREA THERE FOR 60 PLUS YEARS. YES, MA'AM. AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW SOMEBODY NEED EXPLAINING TAKING PROPERTY. SIX. NO, BECAUSE YOU SAID 100 AND 69 , RIGHT? BUT YOU GOTTA REMEMBER THE BLUE CAMP WAS HERE. THIS GO ALL THE WAY UP THE RIVER. HERE IS MISS MURDERED YOUR MOM TO LIVE OVER A YEAR. EVEN. YEAH, THAT. MHM. ALL RIGHT, FINALLY. OKAY, MADAM MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF

Discussion of Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Quorum Requirements and Clarification of Missed Meetings Policy.

CURRENTLY CORN REQUIREMENTS STATE THAT ONLY THREE MEMBERS ARE NEEDED TO ESTABLISH A CORN.

AND CORN REQUIREMENTS WERE BRIEFLY DISCUSSED AT THE DECEMBER 2ND PCB BOARD. SO UM.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, GO RIGHT AHEAD COUNCIL. OKAY SO THE CORUM BECAUSE WE HAVE A CURRENT SEVEN MEMBER, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE. THREE VACANCIES, BUT WHEN WOULD JUST FILL TODAY? UM. I THINK THAT THE QUORUM SHOULD BE FOUR, NOT THREE. IF IT WOULD BE A FIVE MEMBER. THAT WOULD BE THREE FORUM. SO UM, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LANGUAGE WAS CORRECT. UM IF WE DO DO A SEVEN AND KEEP US SEVEN MEMBER, WE HAVE IT AS A FOUR BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT'S NOT FAIR THAT UM. YOU HAVE A SEVEN MEMBER AND YOU HAVE A QUARREL WITH. THREE RIGHT. IT'S NOT. I DON'T EVEN THINK IT'S ETHIC ON. SO THE OR, YOU KNOW, I GUESS WE NEED TO KNOW IF YOU WANT TO DO SEVEN OR FIVE AND THEN THAT WILL DETERMINE. OKAY SO THAT'S JUST ONE OF MY SECOND ONE IS WE NEED TO AND THE REGULATIONS OF THE ATTENDANCE POLICY THERE. IT'S REALLY VAGUE. IT DOESN'T SAY CONSECUTIVE OR, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO GO TO THE ATTORNEY TO INTERPRET IN REGARDS OF ATTENDANCE. AND THEN MY THIRD THING IS THE, UM. I TALKED TO WAIT ABOUT THIS IS SLIPPING MY MIND. UM OH, WHEN, WHEN THE MEMBER AND I THINK THAT THIS IS SHOULD ALSO BE FOR THE VILLAGE COUNCIL WHEN A MEMBER HAS CONFLICT OF INTEREST, I DON'T THINK IT'S CORRECT. TO HAVE THE MEMBER IN THE AUDIENCE DEBATING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE, UH, SAME BOARD THAT YOU KNOW GESTURES. IT COULD SWAY THE MOTION. I THINK THAT. TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT ETHICAL. IF THEY'RE GONNA EXCUSE THEMSELVES, THEY NEED A. LEAVE THE ROOM AND LEAVE THE CONVERSATION. IF THEY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE CONVERSATION, THEY CAN TUNE INTO LIVE STREAM LABOR LATER ON AND HEAR HOW THAT WENT, BUT I THINK THAT, UM WE NEED TO MAKE IT AH! YOU KNOW, JUST. IT DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT IN REGARDS OF HAVING. A MEMBER EXCUSE THEMSELVES AND THEN SIT. OUT IN THE AUDIENCE AND DEBATED WITH THEIR FELLOW COLLEAGUES, AND IT HAPPENED IN THE PC ABOARD . UM SO I AND I ALSO. IT

[03:45:03]

UM SO I THINK IT HELPS THE SITUATION. IT MAKES IT MORE TRANSPARENT AND I THINK THAT, UM IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER. AH I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT'S OKAY. MR BOWLES HAD SOMETHING TO SAY. MARY. THANK YOU. I CAN I CAN ADDRESS AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE QUICKLY JUST TO GIVE YOU THE ADVICE OF GIVEN THE PCB ON IT, UM, THAT THREE MEMBERS FORUM. THAT'S THE TYPE OF IN THE L D OURS AND IT'S ON THE LIST OF THINGS TO BE FIXED. IT WAS AN ARTIFACT FROM WHEN RIGHT, VERY LATE IN THE PROCESS IS WHAT OUT THE AND I FIGURED OUT. AH WHEN THE PCB BOARD WAS CHANGED FROM FIVE MEMBERS TO SEVEN MEMBERS. THAT LITTLE CORN BIT DIDN'T GET CHANGED FROM 3 TO 4, MY OFFICER'S UNIFORM ADVICE TO THE PEACE, BABY THIS ENTIRE YEAR IS I DON'T CARE WHAT THE L D R. SAY YOUR QUORUM IS FOR. BECAUSE UNDER FLORIDA LAW AND DUE PROCESS THEY NEED AT LEAST. THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST A MAJORITY OF THE TOTAL MEMBERSHIP THERE TO ESTABLISH A MEETING. IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT YOU COULD ACTUALLY THEORETICALLY HAVE TWO DUELING MEETINGS. THERE'S BAD PROBLEMS THAT COME FROM IT SO.

OUR ADVICE HAS BEEN IT IS FOR YOUR CORN REQUIREMENT IS FOR AND IT'S IN THE QUEUE FOR THE CORRECTIONS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH TO YOU ALL HERE SHORT, LIKE UM, WITH REGARD TO THE UM.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS. THE LANGUAGE CURRENTLY IS IF THEY FAIL TO ATTEND THREE REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETINGS PER CALENDAR YEAR. THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT FOR AH, FOR THEM BEING CONSECUTIVE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT'S JUST IN A CALENDAR YEAR, JANUARY TO DECEMBER, YOU MISSED THREE.

YOU'RE OFF. COURSE IT'S UP TO YOU ALL THERE'S GOING TO BE A SET OF LD ARE CHANGES COMING THROUGH AND IF YOU ALL WANT TO SEE CHANGES TO THAT VERY EASY TO MAKE UM. AND ONE LAST THING WITH REGARD TO THE ETHICS REQUIREMENTS FOR, UM, FOR VOTING CONFLICTS. IT IS COMPLETELY WITHIN THE VILLAGE COUNCILS AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH. ETHICS POLICIES THAT ARE MORE STRICT THAN THE VOTING CONFLICT POLICIES THAT WE HAVE UNDER STATE STATUTES, AND IN PARTICULAR, YOU COULD IF IT WERE YOUR DESIRE. IMPOSE REQUIREMENTS SUCH THAT IF SOMEONE HAD A VOTING CONFLICT THEY HAD TO, FOR OR THINGS ALONG THOSE LINES THAT IS. PERMISSIBLE FOR YOU TO SET AS A ADDITIONAL RULES THOSE ARE NOT REQUIRED UNDER STATE LAW, BUT YOU CAN'T PUT IN THOSE ADDITIONAL RULES IF IT WERE YOUR DESIRE. ALWAYS RICH. ONE THING I CAN. I CAN TELL YOU JUST FROM EXPERIENCE AROUND THE STATE. THERE ARE VERY DIFFERENT NORMS. ABOUT HOW FOLKS. PHYSICALLY DEAL WITH VOTING COMPLEX OKAY IN SOME PLACES AROUND THE STATE. IT IS JUST THE EXPECTED NORM. YOU. YOU STAND UP AND YOU PHYSICALLY LEAVE THE ROOM. OKAY AND YOU DON'T PARTICIPATE, NO MATTER WHAT IT IS. THERE ARE OTHER PLACES WHERE THEY DON'T DO THAT AT ALL. AND THEY WILL SIT THERE AND FULLY PARTICIPATE AFTER DISCLOSING THE CONFLICT FULLY PARTICIPATE IN THE DISCUSSION.

THAT IS TECHNICALLY LEGAL, AND IN SOME PLACES, IT'S KIND OF. NOT FROWNED UPON OTHER PLACES.

IT'S VERY MUCH FROWNED UPON. SO THAT THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M TELLING YOU THAT NORMS ARE DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT PLACES AROUND THE STATE AND ITS WITHIN THE VILLAGE COUNCILS POWER IF YOU WANTED TO STRICTER NORM TO TAKE THAT NORM AND MAKE IT YOUR LAW. TO MAKE IT YOUR RULE, SO IT'S UP TO YOU ALL. SO, MR BOSE. SO QUICK QUESTION. SURE. SO JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY HERE, FOR EXAMPLE, IF SOMETHING IS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO AFFECT A MEMBEE SUNSHINE LAW, THEY CAN'T REALLY DISCUSS THAT WITH OTHER MEMBERS. WHAT IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH THE MEMBERS BEFORE THEY VOTE? YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THE SITUATION AND

[03:50:04]

SO I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE I WOULD SAY. I WOULD JUST SAY STICK TO THE STATE LAW AND THAT ONE AND THERE YOU GO AGAIN. BUT WHEN YOU'RE FINANCIALLY INTERESTED. AND YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP YOUR BOARD IMPARTIAL ON THE SITUATION . HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT WHEN YOU HAVE THE PERSON FINANCIALLY INTERESTED LOOKING YOU IN THE EYE TELLING YOU EXACTLY HOW. THEY FEEL WITH THEIR FACIAL REACTIONS THE WAY THEY MOVE THE WAY THEY SHAKE. YEAH. GO AHEAD, PLEASE. UM. AND I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT IF YOU HAVE A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC SITTING THERE, THEY'RE ABLE TO DO THE SAME EXACT THING. TELL YOU TELL YOU WHAT THEY FEEL LIKE WITH FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND EVERYTHING ELSE SO. WANT YOU KNOW ONCE YOU RECUSE YOURSELF. YOU KNOW WHAT KEEPS YOU FROM BEING A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC ABLE TO MAKE YOUR COMMENTS THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE. YEAH AND I WAS GONNA SAY SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT. YOU KNOW ANYBODY COULD MAKE, YOU KNOW, MAKE THOSE COMMENTS. I THINK IT IS. THIS IS THE JOB OF THE COUNCILS TO MAKE VERY DIFFICULT DECISIONS, DECISIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE. BUT THAT'S THE PART OF THE JOB AND I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE SWAYED BY PEOPLE'S EXPRESSIONS OR OR IF THEY DON'T LIKE ANYTHING AND NOT NECESSARILY TOOK THE POINT. BUT UM, WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT WE GOT TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR COMMUNITY. SO WHATEVER THAT LOOKS LIKE, UM THEN WE SHOULD VOTE ON THAT VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE. AND I'M NOT SAYING IT HAPPENED TO ME, BUT I'M JUST SAYING I. OKAY SO YOU MISSED IT . BASICALLY, I WAS SAYING WE SHOULD JUST KEEP THE STATE LOCKED. OH, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. RUSSIA. YES, MARJORIE BARRY. IS THAT I HAD ABOUT THIS. IF SOMEBODY HAS A, UH, A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WE WERE TALKING ABOUT FLORIDA STATUTE. 1 12 THAT SECTION. UM AND YOU SAID IT WASN'T WE DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THAT STRICT. DID YOU SAY? NOT THAT THE PLANNING JOINING AN APPEALS BOARD DID NOT HAVE TO BE THAT STRICT. NO, WE HAVE TO EVERY EVERY BOARD WHETHER IT'S THE COUNCIL OR ANY APPOINTED BOARD HAS TO BE AT LEAST AS STRICT AS 1 12 3143. THEY CAN MAKE IT MORE STRICT. SO YOU COULD MAKE IT MORE STRICT AND JUST ASK THE PERSON NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A DISCUSSION. THEY COULD STILL SIT HERE. BUT NOT TO GIVE THEIR OPINIONS ON ON THAT. AND THE SECOND THING WAS I WAS CONCERNED IF YOU WERE GOING TO TALK TONIGHT ABOUT GOING FROM SEVEN MEMBERS TO FIVE MEMBERS. I KNOW YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS KEEPING PEOPLE ON THE BOARD AND FINDING QUALIFIED PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE TIME TO DO IT. I HOPE YOU STICK WITH THEM. SEVEN MEMBERS. THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING. I THINK THAT WE TALK ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHT, WADE. UME UP ABOUT A CHAIRPERSON. IF YOU REALLY FOLLOWING WASN'T ROBERT'S RULES, I DON'T KNOW, HEALTHIER

[03:55:01]

THAT'S WHY IT'S BEING PUT RIGHT DOWN, WRITTEN DOWN IN THE WRITTEN RULES FOR THE PIZZA SUB THAT THE CHAIR WILL NOT MAKE MOTIONS. SO MR BOSE. I KNOW IN THE PAST. CHAIR HAS MADE MOTION BUT WE PASSED THE GAVEL. RIGHT WE'RE RIGHT AND IN THIS THAT THAT'S THAT'S UH I WAS SPEAKING BROADLY. THAT'S PRECISELY HOW IT'S WRITTEN IN THE RULES IS THE CHAIR CAN'T DO WITHOUT PASSING THE GAVEL TO THE VICE CHAIR OR OTHER. PARTICIPANT BUT THE INSTANT THAT MISS BARRY WAS SAYING THAT CHAIR DID THE MOTION DIDN'T PASS THE GAVEL TO THE VICE CHAIR THAT THAT'S CORRECT.

WELL, THEY HAVE THE RULES COMING SO. OR. AND NOT HAVING A MADAM MAYOR. THAT'S IT DONE. FINANCIAL
