AS YOU KNOW, WE DO STRATEGIC PLANNING EVERY YEAR. WE PREVIOUS YEARS WE'VE USED JIM CARES OR FACILITATOR. HE'S HERE. THIS EVENING TO WALK US THROUGH WHAT HAPPENED ON OUR A AND R APRIL 2ND WORKSHOP. SO MR CARES? WELCOME. WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU JIM CAREY'S CONSULTANT OF THE CITY. ENGAGE THAT. STARTED, PLEASE. I HAVE TWO OBJECTIVES BEFORE YOU TO SEEK YOUR DIRECTION ON THE TWO GENERAL CATEGORIES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT ON APRIL 2ND. THE FIRST IS, UH, ARE A COUPLE OF ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS THAT YOU DEALT WITH. AND THE SECOND IS WHAT YOUR DIRECTION IS ON THE REVISED STRATEGIC PLAN. PRESUMABLY IT IS TO ACCEPT IT OR ADOPTED AS YOU HAVE DONE IN RECENT YEARS. THREE DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF OUR DISCUSSION AS ENUMERATED HERE.YOU TALKED ABOUT YOURSELF HOW YOU'RE WORKING TOGETHER. IT WAS RETREAT TYPE SETTING, AS YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. SECONDLY UH, LIST OF VARIOUS POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT, AND ESPECIALLY FOR THE MEMBERS OF OUR PUBLIC IN A WORKSHOP SETTING, WE DON'T TAKE VOTE. YOU
[00:35:01]
DON'T TAKE VOTES. YOU DON'T TAKE FORMAL ACTIONS. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. TODAY IT'S REALLY TO FORMULATE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THEN BRING THEM BACK TO YOU. IN THE LAST IS WE LOOKED OVER OUR SHOULDER AS TO HOW DID HOW WOULD WE HAVE BEEN DOING ON THE STRATEGIC INITIATIVES THAT WE'VE DONE IN PRIOR YEARS? AND WHAT REVISIONS WOULD WE LIKE TO MAKE, AND THAT'S WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. ON THE FIRST CATEGORY. YOU REMEMBER THAT YOU ALL VOICED YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND INSPIRATIONS, NOTABLY MANY OF YOU REACHED THE HIGHER AUTHORITIES. I MEAN YOUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS FOR INSPIRATION. UM WE TALKED ABOUT YOUR VOCIFEROUS DEBATE, IF NOT ARGUMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS AND HOW TO BETTER COMMUNICATE AMONG OURSELVES OFTEN WHEN WE HAVE VERY STRONG OPINIONS. AND WE HEARD IT AGAIN. AS YOU HAVE DONE OVER THE YEARS TO COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE BOTH WITH YOURSELVES OUR PUBLICS, ETCETERA. AND HOW ARE WE DOING IN OUR ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS? BY THE WAY, THESE TWO DOCUMENTS ARE BEFORE YOU AND WERE RELEASED.I'LL GO THROUGH THEM VERY QUICKLY. IN THE IN THE CATEGORY OF HOW YOU DISCUSS OR ARGUE, REMEMBER, WE TALKED ABOUT CONSTRUCTIVE ARGUMENT AND THEN DESTRUCTIVE ARGUMENT AND 11 OF THE ITEMS TO UH AND BY THE WAY THROUGHOUT MY PRESENTATION TONIGHT. WE HAVE SOME ITEMS THAT ARE MARKED IN YELLOW THAT ARE POTENTIAL ACTION ITEMS FOR YOUR STAFF FOR YOURSELVES OR TO GIVE DIRECTION. ONE OF THEM WAS THE THIS IDEA TO POSSIBLY HAVE AN ELECTRONIC BOARD THAT SOME COMMUNITIES EVIDENTLY, UH, USE TO BETTER ORGANIZED COMMENTS KNOWING WHAT'S BECAUSE BEFORE YOU PROBABLY IN MEETINGS MORE COMPLICATED THAN THIS ONE WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC COMMENT , BUT THAT'S WHAT ONE OF THE TOOLS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT TO, POSSIBLY OR GET BETTER ORGANIZE YOUR COMMENTS AND HOW YOU COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PUBLICS. YOU'VE SEEN SOME OF THE OTHER ITEMS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP AND CONSTRUCTIVE ITEM BEING POLITENESS, FORMALITIES, ETCETERA. WHEN YOU USE ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER, OR THE LIKE AND HOW TO DEBATE MORE IN THE IN THIS IN THE FORM OF FORMALITIES AS IN JUST HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE AND THROUGHOUT ON THE DESTRUCTIVE SIDE. WHAT WAS IT ONE OF THE MOST COMMON THINGS THAT YOU BROUGHT UP? IT'S WHEN PERSONAL ATTACKS COME OUT, RIGHT ? WE HEARD THAT FROM QUITE A FEW OF YOU, AND I THINK WE ALL CAN THAT RESONATES WITH ALL OF US, WHETHER IT'S IN A CONVERSATION. ONE ON ONE OR AMONG YOURSELVES AS YOU'RE IN HEATED DEBATE OR IN A POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT, SO JUST TAKE NOTE OF THAT, UM THE CONNOTATION OF ARGUMENT IS NEGATIVE. I REMEMBER THAT BEING BROUGHT UP AS WELL, BUT WE CAN DEBATE CIVILLY. DISCUSS DISAGREE AND STILL DO THE BEST FOR OUR COMMUNITY, AND YOU WERE COMMENDED AGAIN FOR ALL HAVING THAT IN COMMON AS YOUR VISION AND DIRECTION. COUNCIL WORKS WELL AS A TEAM YOU MIGHT REMEMBER. WE ASKED YOU TO RATE THIS ON A ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 7 BACK IN 2020, AND HERE'S WHAT YOU SAID. YOU WERE KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE. ON 2020, AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT . THIS TIME YOU CAME UP A LITTLE . YOU'RE STILL NOT REALLY THERE . YOU'RE REALLY IN YOUR OWN EYE OR YOUR OWN SELF EVALUATION. THAT YOU COULD BE DOING BETTER.
SO YOU'RE SOMEWHERE TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF STRONGLY AGREEING ON THAT STATEMENT THAT YOU WORK WELL AS A TEAM. YOU YOU TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU'VE ON BIG, UNIFIED ISSUES, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, YOUR WATER AND WASTEWATER YOU CAME TOGETHER. YOU MADE A TOUGH AND, UH, YOU KNOW, FUTURISTIC DECISION. ON HOW TO DO THAT. SO YOU HAVE BEEN DOING YOUR JOB AS YOU FELT. YOU KNOW, OVER THE SEVERAL YEARS. AND THEN TWO INTERESTING AREAS WE USED. REMEMBER WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FAMOUS COVEY. SEVEN ITEMS ON HOW AN ORGANIZATION STRIVES FOR EFFECTIVENESS TO AREAS WHERE YOU SEEM TO ORGANIZE OR YOU SEEM TO STRIVE TO DO BETTER. IS THROUGH COLLEGIAL COMPETITION, NOT PERSONAL DISPUTES. SOMETHING WE JUST MENTIONED IN THE SECOND IS WHEN YOU SEEK SYNERGY WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, YOU'RE STRIVING TO DO THAT BETTER WITH LOCAL AGENCIES, COMMUNITY PARTNERS OR OTHERS. WHAT ABOUT THE SEVERAL ITEMS THAT YOU BROUGHT UP RETENTION? I KNOW YOUR STAFF IS , UH, LENDING GREAT ATTENTION TO THIS. HOW DO YOU CHEERLEAD A TEAM. HOW DO YOU CREATE A GREAT PLACE TO WORK THAT PEOPLE WANT TO JOIN YOU IN A VERY COMPETITIVE JOB ENVIRONMENT. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE STRATEGIES THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT HERE. THE MOST. PROBABLY THE MOST DEFINITE
[00:40:02]
IS TO WORK WITH A CONSULTANT THAT I BELIEVE THE CITY MANAGER VILLAGE MANAGER IS TAKING STEPS TOWARDS IN THAT DIRECTION. AND THAT AS WELL THE USE OF SKILL PATH TO BE USED FOR ALL PROFESSIONAL STAFF. BUT RETENTION IS A TOUGH ENVIRONMENTAL WORK IN THIS IN THIS LOCAL JOB ENVIRONMENT AND YOU'VE SEEN OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENTS OFFERING ADDED INCENTIVES TO ATTRACT AND KEEP TOP TALENT. THE NEXT WAS COMMITTEES AND BOARDS. YOU EVIDENTLY HAVE AN APPLICATION PROCESS ALREADY TO VET CANDIDATES, BUT EVIDENTLY YOU'RE NOT USING IT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT. SO THAT'S AN AREA YOU NEED TO, UM CONTINUE TOWARD AS WELL, YOU MIGHT ENTERTAIN. A DIFFERENT APPOINTMENT PROCESS FOR THE PLANNING, ZONING AND APPEAL. EXCUSE ME AND APPEALS BOARD WHEREIN YOU EACH WOULD GET ONE APPOINTEE AND THEN HAVE TO AT LARGE. TASK REQUESTS OF THE VILLAGE MANAGER. I THINK THAT'S SELF EXPLANATORY. WE TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU NEED TO PUBLICLY STATE THOSE AND THAT ALLOWS THE MANAGER TO WORK MORE CLOSELY WITH YOU. AND ON YOUR JOINT AGENDAS. AND THEN VOTING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. UM THERE WAS A HEALTHY DISCUSSION ON HOW THAT IS DONE. BUT I THINK YOU AGREED THAT AND WE RENEWED FOLLOWING THE LAW. WITH ADVANCE , UM, DISCLOSURE, BUT THERE WAS NOT CONSENSUS ON WHETHER A MEMBER SHOULD DEPART THE MEETING ROOM DURING A VOTE. SO YOU DIDN'T. WE TALKED ABOUT THESE TWO THAT ARE POSSIBLE ACTION ITEMS, THE APPLICATION FORM AS WELL AS THE PC A SEATS. PERMIT FEE WAIVERS. COINCIDENTALLY YOU HAVE SOMETHING ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT THAT CONCERNS THIS, BUT WE HAD QUITE A BIT OF DISCUSSION. THE BOTTOM LINE IS YOU EVIDENTLY WOULD LAY THE GROUNDWORK TO GENERATE A MORE STANDARD POLICY ON THIS EVEN THOUGH YOUR DATA SHOW THAT YOU IT'S THIS IS LESS THAN A $3000 ITEM THAT YOU'VE BEEN WAIVING FEES SO FAR. THAT WAS FROM THE LAST YEAR THAT WE LOOKED AT DATA. AND HOW YOU WOULD STRUCTURE PERMIT FEE WAIVERS AND THE POLICY. HERE ARE MULTIPLE BULLET POINTS THAT WOULD GIVE YOU DIRECTION, MOST NOTABLY, PROBABLY ONE OF THE MORE COMPLICATED AREAS IS HOW TO HANDLE C THREE'S OR C SIX IS THE NOT FOR PROFITS. I'M LOOKING AT THAT MORE CLOSELY. IT TURNS OUT THERE ARE 25 CATEGORIES OF NOT FOR PROFITS. IT'S NOT ONLY THE FEW THAT YOU ALL MENTIONED, SO THIS MIGHT BE MORE COMPLICATED THAN YOU THINK. BUT HERE IS AN OUTLINE ON HOW YOU MIGHT STRUCTURE THAT POLICY. IF YOU WANT TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION AND GET YOUR ARMS AROUND HOW YOU WOULD WAVE OR NOT WAVE WHETHER ALCOHOL IS INVOLVED OR NOT, WHETHER OR NOT FOR PROFIT IS BASED HERE IN INDIAN TOWN OR NOT , ETCETERA, YOU'LL SEE THAT AMONG THOSE BULLET POINTS AND THEN HOW YOU HANDLE MESSAGE BOARDS ALSO CAME UP AND YOU HAVE YOU TALKED ABOUT THE LIBRARY BEFORE AND THE MANAGER'S REPORT.YOU ALSO HAVE YOUR UTILITY STAFF IS EVIDENTLY STEPPING UP TO HELP WITH THE MOBILE MESSAGE BOARDS.
AND WHEN, WHEN WAIVERS OR NOT, MIGHT APPLY. THERE IS SOME ATTENTION. HOW HOW YOU HANDLE POWERS PARK AND WHAT PERMITTING IS REQUIRED. AS THAT IS A COUNTY FACILITY. ANYWAYS THAT CONCLUDES THE WHOLE PORTION OF THE SEVERAL ITEMS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT THAT I WOULD PUT IN THIS CATEGORY OF MORE ADMINISTRATIVE OR POLICY. SO IF YOU LET ME CONTINUE, I'LL JUST CONTINUE. IF YOU WISH. UM I WAS GOING TO DIVE INTO THE STRATEGIC PLAN VERY QUICKLY AND AGAIN. WHAT WE'RE SEEKING FOR IS YOUR EITHER ACCEPTANCE OR ADOPTION OF THE REVISED PLAN. HERE'S A SHOT OF LAST YEAR'S PLAN, WHICH WAS A FIVE YEAR LOOK FORWARD WHAT WE DID AGAIN. AS I SAID, WE GRADED OUR PROGRESS ON A TRADITIONAL SCHOOL SCALE A THROUGH WELL, NOT QUITE F, BUT AT LEAST THESE IF WE WERE GIVING OURSELVES A D FOR POOR PERFORMANCE. AND THEN S REORDERT OR CONSOLIDATE AND AS AS YOU'VE BEEN HEARING, OR I THINK YOU'VE GOT CLEAR IN YOUR MIND BUT TO REMIND THE PUBLIC AS WELL, WHAT A STRATEGIC REALLY MEAN. IT MEANS PICKING THE PRECIOUS FEW ITEMS THAT WE SHOULD DO TO SUCCEED AND PURSUE OUR VISION. THE DOCUMENT THAT WAS RELEASED TO YOU IS A RED LINE VERSION, IF YOU WILL, AND IT SHOWS ALL THE CHANGES FROM LAST YEAR UM ARE ARE FRONT PAGE SEEKS TO CAPTURED AND PUT IN SOME NEW GRAPHICS THAT GIVE YOU A BETTER CONCEPT OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS. UH
[00:45:04]
THERE'S INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND UTILITIES REPRESENTED HERE. THE GREEN BELT AND ALSO A POSSIBLE BEAUTIFICATION OF 7 10. AND WHAT IS REALLY YOUR MAIN STREET? VISION AND MISSION.PRETTY MUCH KEPT, AS IS WE DIDN'T TINKER WITH REWARDING THOSE. I'LL GO QUICKLY, AND I'M GLAD TO GO BACK WITHOUT READING THROUGH THEM. THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES, UM, ARE A LITTLE BIT NONTRADITIONAL IN A STRATEGIC PLAN IN THAT MANY OF THESE ARE YOUR GUIDANCE FOR STAFF AND THINGS THEY'RE DOING THEIR ACTUAL, MORE LIKE ACTION ITEMS. WHEREAS IN YOUR ACTION STRATEGIES ARE MORE VISIONARY. YOU CAN SEE THE CHANGES HERE. UM YOU TRIED TO HAVE WORKSHOPS, UH TO AN ALTERNATE WITH BUSINESS MEETINGS AND WORKSHOPS. AND YOU DECIDED TO MOVE ON FROM THAT.
BUT YOU PROBABLY YOU SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR TRYING THAT THAT'S WHAT'S STRICKEN HERE AND THE STRIKEOUT LANGUAGE. UH THE OTHER IS TO ENHANCE YOUR COMMUNICATION WITH PUBLIX WITH COMMENT CARDS AS YOU CAN SEE THE ADDITIONS. SO THAT'S IN THE COMMUNICATION. NOT MANY CHANGES ON THIS PAGE OF PRINCIPLES. SIMPLY HIGHLIGHTED THE KEY POINTS. AND SOME WORDSMITHING, BUT FISCAL PRUDENCE, UNIFICATION OF COMMUNITY AND MARKETING, GETTING YOUR MESSAGE OUT. THE NEXT SET OF GUIDING PRINCIPLES ARE REALLY WORDSMITHING FOR DELIVERY OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES. A LITTLE MORE SPECIFICITY WITH REGARDS TO ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY. YOU ARE MOVING AHEAD WITH WETLAND AND TREE MITIGATION. AND IF YOU COULD BE SUCCEEDED, VISIONARY ITEM THAT YOU STILL HAVE IN YOUR IS A GREEN BELT THAT ENCIRCLES THE WHOLE VILLAGE. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I THINK YOU TOOK STEPS TO SUPPORT THE POSSIBLE CHARTER SCHOOL. THAT'S NOT I GUESS IT'S NOT IN YOUR BOUNDARY, BUT IT'S ADJACENT TO AND THAT'S BEEN ADDED HERE IN THE LAST BULLET. SO THAT CONCLUDES THE FRONT PORTIONS OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH OUR VISION MISSION GUIDING PRINCIPLES THEN WE JUDGE THE WE DIVE INTO MORE THAN MEET GOALS. AND 11 ACTION STRATEGIES. YOU REDUCE THOSE AS YOU SHOULD DO IN A STRATEGIC PLAN. WHAT DID WHAT HAVE WE DONE? WHAT'S BEHIND US? AND LET'S NARROW THE LIST AND TRY TO DO THOSE? WELL, YOU HAD 19 ACTION STRATEGIES. YOU NOW HAVE 11 IN THIS DRAFT. YOUR THE TWO GENERAL GOALS THAT WILL GO THROUGH HERE. REMEMBER YOU.
THERE'S ONE BUCKET, IF YOU WILL IS HOW TO CREATE JOBS, ENHANCE A BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUR LOCAL ECONOMY. AND THE SECOND IS MORE. HOW DO WE CREATE A MORE ATTRACTIVE AND DYNAMIC VILLAGE? SO LOOKING AT GO AWAY. AND WE CAN GO BACK ON THE FIRST COLUMN IS HOW WE GRADED OURSELVES AND YOU COULD SEE WE RANGED FROM INCOMPLETE. UH SOME SEE PASSING GRADES, BUT MOSTLY B'S AND ONE A UM, IF ANY OF US DISAGREE WITH SOME OF THOSE, PLEASE LET US KNOW AND THEY WON'T BE IN THE PLAN, BUT I BROUGHT THEM FORWARD FOR OUR RECOLLECTION OF HOW WE WERE LOOKING AT OUR PROGRESS.
GREEN MEANS IT STAYS IN RED MEANS IT'S BEING DELETED BECAUSE WE'RE EITHER WE HAVE EITHER COMPLETED IT OR WE'RE DOING A GOOD GOOD JOB OF DOING IT RIGHT NOW. SO THE FIRST TWO FOR EGGS.
THE DELICIOUS HERE ARE HAVING TO DO WITH, UM INCENTIVIZING PREFERRED DEVELOPMENT. RECALL THAT NUMBERS. AH NEW HOUSING UNITS, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, UH, ON THE DRAWING BOARD, IF NOT A BUNCH OF IT IS, UH, IS ALREADY APPROVED. AND SO, UH, THE GENERAL CONSENSUS WAS WELL, WE WE'VE CERTAINLY INCENTIVIZED DEVELOPMENT AND WITH THAT MANY COMING IN, YOU KNOW, IN THE DOOR THAT WAS THE GENERAL CONSENSUS WAS THAT COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE STREETS, STRATEGIC PLAN, AND BY THE WAY REMOVAL HERE DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE NOT STILL DOING THESE ITEMS. IT JUST MEANS THAT THERE'S LESS EMPHASIS WITH REGARD TO YOUR ST STRATEGIC PRIORITIES. AND BY THE WAY, AND YOU'RE IN THE BUDGET SEASON, YOU'RE ALWAYS IN THE BUDGET SEASON. THE STRATEGIC PLAN, REMEMBER IS GOES HAND IN HAND WITH YOUR BUDGET? IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU'RE NOT DOING THE OTHER SERVICES AND STILL BUDGETING FOR THOSE, BUT THESE SHOULD BE GIVEN PRIORITY AS YOU ADOPT NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. THE SECOND ITEM THAT WAS REMOVED BECAUSE YOU GAVE YOURSELF A PRETTY GOOD GRADE OF IMPROVING YOUR WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH, UM FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. AND YOU YOU GAVE EXAMPLES OF HOW YOU'VE BEEN WORKING THAT AH, BETTER WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. AH! I THE OTHER GENERAL ITEMS ARE MOBILITY OF FEE ANALYSIS.
[00:50:07]
THE THIRD ONE DOWN FOURTH IS QUITE A FEW SUB ELEMENTS THAT ALL RELATE TO YOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH MARTIN COUNTY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD. YOU'VE CONTINUING THAT EFFORT. UH AND I WON'T GO INTO THE DETAIL OF EACH ONE OF THOSE, UM, ONE OF THE MORE PROMINENT ONES IS THE SIDE HUSTLE TO MAIN GIG, WHICH, AS WE KNOW, WAS SCHEDULED AND THEN DELAYED. I THINK BECAUSE OF LACK OF INTEREST, BUT IT'S BACK ON TAP, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S HAPPENED YET, BUT I DON'T RECALL IF IT WAS RESCHEDULED. OKAY OKAY . ALL RIGHT, SO IT'S MOVING, MOVING TO FALL. SO THAT'S ITEM C UNDER A FOUR AND THE LAST OF THESE STATE OF THE VILLAGE MESSAGE WAS TO REMAIN IN SOME OF THESE HAVE BEEN AT YOUR REQUEST WERE CHANGED IN THEIR RANK ORDER AND HOW QUICKLY YOU CAN DO THEM.I'LL MOVE THROUGH THE LAST COUPLE IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA ARE, UH, LET'S SEE YOU MENTIONED STATE OF THE VILLAGE. DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FIESTA ANALYSIS AND THEN YOUR WATER, WASTEWATER PLANT TRANSITION AND UPGRADE THAT'S BEING MOVED UP TO THE SECOND AS IN IN SOME OF OUR DISCUSSION THAT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO YOUR QUICK COMPLETION. AND THE LAST ITEM THERE IS A DELETION OF, UM ALTHOUGH THE AND YOU MIGHT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO RECONSIDER THIS ONE OR NOT WANT SOME OF YOUR STAFF BROUGHT AN IDEA FORWARD OF THE DIALOGUE WITH THE TOP EMPLOYERS OR A SAMPLING OF THE EMPLOYERS IN TOWN AT THIS POINT THAT WAS PUSHED ON KIND OF DOWN DOWN THE PRIORITY LIST. BUT YOU MAY WANT TO RECONSIDER THAT WE HAVE SOME BETTER DATA ON UH, WHO THOSE EMPLOYERS ARE AND FOR COMPARISON OR DISCUSSION. HERE ARE THE TOP 10 EMPLOYERS AS FAR AS EMPLOYEES NOT REVENUE OR SOMETHING ELSE. THIS IS JUST THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES. THE CONCEPT HERE WAS TO SIT DOWN WITH THOSE EMPLOYERS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO YOUR LOCAL ECONOMY. SEE WHAT THE VILLAGE CAN DO. FOR THEM WITH THEM WHAT THEY CAN DO. IT'S A ROUNDTABLE EFFORT TO TALK TO THOSE EMPLOYERS. SO RIGHT NOW, YOU HAD KIND OF SIDELINE THAT AS FAR AS YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN. MAYBE YOU WANT TO DECIDE TO CONTINUE TO TRY DOING THAT. IN SOME FASHION . I DON'T KNOW. I THINK STAFF COULD USE SOME DIRECTION ON THAT. SO THAT CONCLUDES, WE HAVE BUT ONE PART LEFT TO GO THROUGH QUICKLY, AND THAT IS ALL IN THIS. THE GENERAL GOAL OF BUILDING A MORE ATTRACTIVE AND DYNAMIC VILLAGE. AS YOU CAN SEE , THROUGH FOUR DIFFERENT ITEMS WERE SIDELINED IF YOU WILL OR ARE COATED IN RED HERE, AND THOSE ARE, UM BUT SOME OF THE GENERAL PAVEMENT REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE THE SECOND IS BOOKER PARK, ROAD AND DRAINAGE DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT BEING DONE, BUT IT'S PRETTY WELL IN PROCESS ALREADY STILL ON THE DOCKET IS JUST THE CONSENSUS WAS TO UM, SIDELINE IT. IF YOU WILL, AS FAR AS ITS STRATEGIC PLAN GOES. THE THIRD OF THOSE DELETIONS IS THE GENERAL CONCEPT OF GOING GREENER OR DOING MORE ENVIRONMENTAL OR SUSTAINABLE POLICIES. THOSE ARE REFLECTED IN YOUR LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE NOT DOING IT. UM IT'S JUST THAT IT WAS THE THOUGHT THAT AS A STRATEGIC ACTION ITEM, WE'RE SIDELINING. IN THE LAST OF THOSE IS PARKS AND RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING, AND THIS WAS KIND OF SWINGING FOR THE FENCES. YOU HAD TALKED AT ONE POINT ABOUT TRYING TO BRING LARGE REGIONAL SPORTS EVENTS TO BOTH STIMULATE BUSINESS. UH AND, UH ENHANCE OR CREATE A BIG REGIONAL ATTRACTION. AND I YOU DID TALK ABOUT YOU. YOU RECOGNIZE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES HERE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE FIELDS AND FACILITIES OR THE HOTELS AND THE SUPPORT FACILITIES TO REALLY DO THAT. SO IT HASN'T BEEN FORGOTTEN THE CONCEPT, BUT THIS THOUGHT WAS TO SIDELINE THAT WILL AND REMOVE IT FROM THE STRATEGIC PLAN. AND THE REMAINING FOUR ITEMS PERTAIN TO THE VILLAGE HALL PROPERTY. THE SECOND IS THE CONCEPTUAL VILLAGE MASTER PLAN, INCLUDING THE GREEN BELT. THE THIRD IS BOOKER PARK REDEVELOPMENT. THE FOURTH IS ANNEXATION. ON THIS PAGE. AND THE LAST PAGE OF THE CHANGES. ARE. AUTHORITY TO DO PARKS, RECREATION PROGRAMMING. THAT'S
[00:55:01]
THE LEFT OVER THE RED ITEM. THERE IS A LEFTOVER FROM THE PAGE BEFORE, SO IT'S REALLY THREE ITEMS. 12 GREEN ONE RED WITH THE RED REMOVAL I MENTIONED WAS THE SPORTS DEVELOPMENT SYNERGY. AND THE TWO REMAINING WOULD BE UPTOWN ROADWAY AND DRAINAGE. INCLUDING AROUND SEMINAL DRIVE. AND THE BEAUTIFICATION OF WAR FIELD. RECOGNIZING THAT A LOT OF THAT IS HARD TO ACHIEVE WITHOUT. UM IMPROVED OR REGULAR CONCURRENCE AND PARTNERSHIP WITH F D O T.THE LAST IN MY SUMMARY IS MERELY A MAPPING OF THE ITEMS THAT WOULD REMAIN IN THE PLAN. AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY'RE LABELED B TWO A TWO B FIVE ETCETERA. THESE ARE THE ONES THAT YOU CAN MAP. SOME OF THESE ARE MORE POLICY RELATED IF THERE ARE MORE PROJECT RELATED THERE ON THIS MAP AND THE BLUE ONES THE THREE WERE IN LAST YEAR'S PLANT DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE NOT BEING DONE. BUT BOOKER PART ROAD DRAINAGE, BOOK OR PARK IMPROVEMENTS AND BIG MOUNTAIN PARK. IMPROVEMENTS ARE ON THIS LOCATION MAP FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE. I JUST AS AS YOU HAD ANNOUNCED TONIGHT, THIS, UH OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY AT TIME OF POWERS HAS BEEN DELAYED, SO THIS DATE IS INCORRECT. BUT IT DOES OCCUR TO ME THAT AS AN ACTION STRATEGY, YOU SHOULD BE WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH THE COUNTY, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS GREENBELT CONCEPT BECAUSE IT WOULD ENCIRCLE AND INCLUDE POWERS PARK. AND WITH THAT, I LOOKED AT YOUR DISCUSSION QUESTIONS, UH, DIRECTION ON THE TWO MAIN ITEMS THAT ARE AREAS THAT I MENTIONED. THANK YOU, JIM. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM OUR COUNCIL GIVES THOMAS THANK YOU SO MUCH, UM GREAT WORK. APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO. CAN YOU BACK UP TO THE EMPLOYERS? YEAH THE STOP. STOP! STOP! STOP! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
THE LARGEST, UM, THERE. THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU GO. UM I. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT I THINK I KNOW FOR WAR FIELD ELEMENTARY . I CAN DEFINITELY SAY THERE ARE MORE THAN 55 PEOPLE. EMPLOYED THERE. IT'S MORE LIKE 80 OR 90. UM AND IN DETAIL, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND WE'RE FEEL ELEMENTARY OR ACTUALLY THE SAME EMPLOYER, MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT. SO I WOULD SAY BETWEEN THOSE TWO CAMPUSES YOU HAVE ABOUT 200 PEOPLE. AND UNDER CLOSER TO THIS DATA WAS FROM YOUR STAFF. THIS IS KIND OF THE BEAN COUNTERS VERSION. THAT'S UNDER S I C CODE. AND SO THAT MAKES SENSE THAT YOU COULD MERGE SOME OF THESE. YEAH, THE NUMBERS OR AND I DON'T KNOW. LIKE SO FOR WAR FIELD. I DON'T KNOW. THESE ARE CONSIDERED FULL TIME. VERSUS PART TIME. I DON'T STILL EVEN FULL TIME YOU'RE TALKING. GOTCHA OKAY, MONEY. THAT NUMBER IS BIGGER. ANYONE ELSE? HERNANDEZ YES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. UM I WAS. JUST WANTING TO CLARIFY WHEN YOU MEAN SIDELINING. I DON'T WANT THE UM THE RESIDENTS AND THINK THAT WE'RE FORGETTING ABOUT IT. IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY BEING DONE LIKE THE BUDDHA PARK DRAINAGE, UM, THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY SEEING ALREADY BEING DONE CURRENTLY, UM YOU KNOW THE REPAIRS PAVEMENT. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING. IT'S EVOLVING. IT'S YOU KNOW, JUST IN THE WORKS. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS KNOW THAT IT'S BEING DONE. THANK YOU. YEAH THERE'S THIS PUSH PULL WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING. REALLY IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE NOT DOING THE KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON HERE, RECRUITING TOP QUALITY STAFF DOING ALL THOSE THINGS YOU DO TO BECOME. UM YOU KNOW, A BETTER MUNICIPALITY. BUT THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO REALLY DO THE KEY ITEMS THAT WILL AFFECT YOUR VISION WILL ACHIEVE A NEW VISION. AWESOME ANY COMMENTS FROM OUR STAFF? ANYTHING LIKE THAT? OKAY I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR APPROVAL AND TO FILE AT THIS TIME. SOME OF. SECOND THANK YOU. WE HAVE A MOTION BY STONE AND THE SECOND BY HERNANDEZ. ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION FROM THIS COUNCIL GIVES THOMAS THE MOTION IS TO ACCEPT AND NOT ADOPT. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY BECAUSE HE MADE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN ACCEPTING IT OR ADOPTING IT. WE'RE ACCEPTING IT DULY NOTED ANY OTHER DISCUSSION FROM THIS COUNCIL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ALRIGHT ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THIS TIME? YES BOTH QUICK. UM. THIS IS PRESENTED AS AS AN
[01:00:05]
AMENDMENT TO THEIR OR AS A REVISION TO THEIR STRATEGIC PLAN . RIGHT SO I THINK YOU HAD TWO THINGS THAT YOU HAD TONIGHT. YOU HAD A REPORT. THAT THAT WOULD BE KIND OF AN ACCEPTANCE FILE THING, AND THEN I WOULD SUGGEST YOU WOULD BE ADOPTING YOUR REVISED STRATEGIC PLAN. WHAT YOU HAVE IN THE AGENDA ITEM AND HE WENT OVER THE HIGH POINTS OF EVERYTHING IN IT. IN WITHIN THE AGENDA ITEM. IT'S GOT ACTUALLY A STRIKETHROUGH UNDERLINE FROM LAST YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN, THINGS THAT WERE ADDED THINGS THAT WERE TAKEN OUT AND HE OUTLINED WHAT THE SUBSTANCE OF THOSE WERE. SO I'D ACTUALLY SUGGESTING THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO GET IN THE WEEDS OF WHAT THE MOTION IS, I SUGGEST YOU BE ACCEPTED FILE THE REPORT AND ADOPT THE AMENDED STRATEGIC PLAN, MR BELL SAYS. SO WITH THOSE CHANGES, UM, SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION BY STONE AND A SECOND BY HERNANDEZ. NO ADDITIONAL COMMENTS BEING SEEN ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. BY ALL OPPOSED. NAN OPPOSE THIS MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU SO MUCH, JIM. APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. ALRIGHT. WE MOVED ON THE NEXT ITEM ON THE[10.
Application EV-22-306: A Request for Village Council Approval to Waive Special Event Application Fees in the amount of $575 for a community-wide event (Da Swamp Homecoming 2022), and to consider sponsoring certain activities.
]AGENDA IS THE APPLICATION FOR E V. 22-306 THE REQUEST FOR THE VILLAGE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL.A APPROVAL OF THE WAVE SPECIAL EVENTS APPLICATION FEE FOR THE AMOUNT OF 5 75 FOR THE COMMUNITY WIDE EVENT. UH THE SWAMP HOMECOMING 2022 CONSIDERED SPONSORING. CERTAIN ACTIVITIES.
GOOD EVENING, VICE MAYOR AND VILLAGE COUNCIL JEFFERSON FOR THE RECORD. I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS HERE. I'M NOT SURE. OR CO APPLICANT IS HERE. THIS PARTICULAR EVENT IS PLANNED. FOR JUNE. I BELIEVE MHM AND THE APPLICANT. IS HOSTING THIS EVENT AND BOOK APART. AND THEY'RE HOPING TO HAVE THE APPLICATION FEES WAIVED IN THE COVER MEMO PROVIDED IN YOUR PACKET STAFF GAVE AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE YES , COST WOULD BE IN TERMS OF WHAT THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR. AH SPONSORSHIP AND PAYMENT FROM THE COUNCIL VERSUS WHAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING. WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT YOU DO WHAT YOU DID LAST YEAR, WHICH IS WAIVED THE APPLICATION FEE. AND PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE BARRICADES. WE'RE ALSO ADDING DUMPSTERS. THERE WAS A LOT OF TRASH AFTER THIS EVENT LAST YEAR, AND SO IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE THE DUMPSTERS THERE. AND WITH THAT I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR WE'LL HAVE THE APPLICANT COME SPEECH. UM, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION AT THIS TIME. SOME OF. SECOND WE HAVE A MOTION BY STONE AND A SECOND BY HERNANDEZ. ANY DISCUSSION FROM THIS COUNCIL? YES ACTUALLY, I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. UM AS FAR AS CLEANING UP BECAUSE I KNOW LAST YEAR WAS STAFF HAD A PRETTY ROUGH TIME, I GUESS. WHO'S GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THIS PLACE IS CLEAN WHEN IT'S ALL DONE. THE APPLICANT.
OKAY IS THERE A DEPOSIT WHERE IF THEY DON'T CLEAN UP, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE DEPOSIT OR HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK? RIGHT NOW. THE FEE SCHEDULE PROVIDE FOR DEPOSIT AT THE PARKS DEPARTMENT , BUT NOT FOR SPECIAL EVENTS. OKAY, SO. AS FAR AS WHAT YOU CAN TELL. IS THAT GOING TO BE PAID OR HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK? YEP WE COULD MAKE IT A CONDITION OF APPROVAL. BECAUSE I MEAN, IF WE'RE GOING TO BASICALLY WAIVE THE FEES FOR THE EVENT PERMIT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING THAT HOLDS THEM ACCOUNTABLE. WE'LL MAKE SURE IT'S CLEANED UP WHEN IT'S DONE.
BASICALLY I THINK THIS WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOU FOR APPROVAL BECAUSE IT'S OVER. 1500 ANTICIPATED AND FOR A EVENT THAT SIZE IT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL. SO AT THAT TIME IS WHEN YOU CAN PLACE CONDITIONS RIGHT NOW. THE APPLICANTS JUST ASKING FOR A WAIVER OF FEES AND SOME SPONSORSHIP SUPPORT. ANY OTHER, UM, QUESTION RIGHT NOW. OKAY WITH THE BARRIERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT AS FAR AS THE OTHER SPONSORSHIP. I DON'T KNOW. I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO THINK MORE ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU. HERNANDEZ. AND I HAD THE SAME CONCERNS. BUT VILLAGE
[01:05:03]
MANAGER STATED THAT THIS IS JUST FOR UH, THE SPONSORSHIP AND APPROVAL WAVE. UM WAVING THE FEEDS. WHAT FEES? ARE WE WAVING EXACTLY THE PERMIT FEE. ARE WE WAVING TENT BEES? WHAT ARE WE WAVING? SO ON YOUR COVER MEMO IS THE SALARY OF THE FEES. AH! IN AN AMOUNT OF $575 AND THAT IS FOR IF YOU LOOK AT THE MEMO FROM OUR PARKS AND REC DIRECTOR, WHERE THERE'S A DETAIL ESPECIALLY EVENT PERMIT FEE OF $300. BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT FEE OF $120. SOFTBALL FIELD RESERVATION, $75 AND LIGHTS. ON UNTIL 10. PM. FOR BOTH DAYS. $80. OKAY SO THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE TENT SO THAT JUST MAKING THE TENT PERMITS. NO, IT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE TENT PERMITS, OKAY? THE DUMPSTERS ARE $400. IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO SPONSOR THAT. THANK YOU. GIBBS, THOMAS. OKAY.THANK YOU. AND JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING US. TO WAIVE OR TO PICK UP BARRICADES TO COVER BARRICADES. WAVE THE 5 75. TRASH PICK UP. OR THE DUMPSTERS NOT NECESSARILY PICK UP BUT DUMPSTERS. AND WHAT ABOUT PORTABLES? PORTABLE TOILETS THAT'S ON THERE. THAT'S ON THERE. AND IS THAT WHAT THIS IS AT OUR DESK? THE QUOTE FOR WHAT? WE ANTICIPATE THE PORTABLES TO RUN OUT. YEAH I SAW THAT ON THE DAY AS I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT CAME FROM. I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT, OKAY? I'M SURE IT'S PROVIDED FOR YOUR FOR YOUR INFORMATION. OKAY.
THANK YOU, UM. A PART OF, UM ONCE AGAIN FOR CLARIFICATION, SO I MAKE SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING.
IN THAT PERMITTING PROCESS. EVEN THOUGH WE'RE WAIVING THE FEES, THEY STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS THAT PERMITTING PROCESS ARE THEY REQUIRED TO HAVE LIABILITY INSURANCE. THE CO CURRENTLY DOESN'T REQUIRE IT. BUT THE VILLAGE ATTORNEY WOULD ADVISE US ON THAT. PARTICULARLY WITH REGARD TO EVENTS OF THIS SIZE THAT WOULD COME TO YOU ALL FOR EVALUATION AND DETERMINATION. YOU CAN SET CONDITIONS ON IT, AND THAT CAN CERTAINLY BE ONE OF THEM. AND I CAN HAVE SOME ADVICE FOR US TO WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND. OKAY. WHEN THAT COMES BACK TO YOU ALL OKAY? BECAUSE I THINK IN THERE SOMEWHERE THERE'S A BALANCE HOUSES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. YEAH. AND I'M I'M JUST CURIOUS. AND OR INSURANCE COVERAGE IN OUR PARKS AND EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE. DOES OUR LIABILITY COVER COVERAGE COVER THINGS LIKE BOUNCE HOUSES BECAUSE I KNOW PERSONALLY IN WHAT I DO. WE USED TO HAVE OUR OWN AND THEY TOOK THEM AWAY FROM US BECAUSE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SAID NO. BECAUSE OF THE LIABILITY ISSUE. WE WILL NOT, AND WE USED TO, YOU KNOW, DO THE INFLATABLE. ANYTHING INFLATABLE . THEY HAVE COMPLETELY SO I'M WONDERING IF OUR LIABILITY BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THERE MAY BE, YOU KNOW THE FIRST LINE LIABILITY THE BOTTOM LINE, SO WOULD OUR LIABILITY ACTUALLY COVER SOMETHING LIKE THAT? THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. LET ME LET YOU LET ME ADDRESS THAT A LITTLE BIT. UH THE ANSWER IS YES. AND NO. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IT WOULD. IT WOULD COVER FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS ON THE PROPERTY. HOWEVER, REMEMBER WHAT INSURANCE IS? IN THE END. THEY'RE COVERING ON THE FRONT END. AND THEN WHEN WE GET A LOT OF CLAIMS, AND THEY'RE NOT BEING PAID BY SOMEBODY ELSE, HAVING INSURANCE FIRST, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE POLICIES IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THEIR INSURANCE IS COVERING INSTEAD OF OURS PREMIUMS GO UP. SO WE PAY FOR IT IN THE END. YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? IT UH, FOR MEGACITIES AND EVERY MUNICIPAL INSURANCE STRESS, UH, FOLLOWS OUR RUN RIGHT AND THEY WILL ADJUST OUR INSURANCE RATES ACCORDINGLY. SO, UM THERE IS COVERAGE THERE. BUT IN THE LONG RUN WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IN THE APPROPRIATE INSTANCES, FOLKS WILL HAVE INSURANCE IN PLACE, SO IT'S THEIR INSURANCE GETTING HIT INSTEAD OF OURS, BECAUSE IN THE END THAT HITS OUR BOTTOM LINE FOR OUR PREMIUMS, BUT WE KNOW SPECIFICALLY THAT IT WILL COVER
[01:10:06]
BOUNCE HOUSES. AS FAR AS I'M AWARE, YEAH, AND WE CAN DOUBLE CHECK. IT WAS IT WAS ONE THING.THAT THEY WOULD NOT. WHAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN AND WILL DOUBLE CHECK WITH THE LEAGUE ON IT MAY HAVE BEEN BECAUSE, UM I'M NOT SURE IF MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD IS SELF INSURED WITH A REINSURER, THEY MAY BE SELF INSURED, WHICH MEANS THEY'VE GOT THEIR OWN BIG POT OF MONEY THAT THEY COVERED THESE RISKS OUT OF IN IN WHICH CASE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE PAYING OUT. IN ANY EVENT, EVEN IF NOT, THEY WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME EXACT THING. I'M TALKING ABOUT THERE THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE'S INSURANCE IN FRONT OF IT. BEFORE YOURS BECAUSE IN THE END WILL BE PAYING FOR IT WILL JUST BE PAYING FOR IT IN PREMIUMS TO THREE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD WHEN YOU HAVE CLAIMS UM HERNANDEZ AND STONE. UH SO AS FAR AS THAT. IS THIS A GOOD TIME FOR US TO SAY TO BRING SOMETHING BACK AS FAR AS THE POLICY GOES FOR THE INSURANCE AND SPECIAL EVENTS. I DON'T OH, GOOD. LET'S WE CAN DO THAT. OBVIOUSLY WE CAN BRING THAT BACK. UM SO I DON'T WANT TO. I DON'T WANT TO MIX THAT IN WITH THIS, RIGHT. BRING SOMETHING BACK FOR YOU, COUNSELOR. OKAY AND AS FAR AS THE EVENT GOES IS THIS GOING TO BE A FEE FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO USE THE FOR EXAMPLE, A BOUNCE HOUSE OR IS IT GOING TO BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC? WHERE IF YOU BRING YOUR KIDS AT CERTAIN AGE, THEY CAN JUST JUMP ON IT. OKAY SO THAT'S THAT'S A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT AND IT, MISS THOMPSON IS HERE THIS EVENING. SHE COULD PROBABLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION. IT'S A IT'S A FREE EVENT. CORRECT IT'S A FREE EVENT. OKAY, SO IT'S RIGHT. SO THERE IS NO FEE FOR KIDS TO IT'S A FREE EVENT. NO UNDERSTAND IT'S A FREE EVENT, BUT RIGHT? HERNANDEZ. AND JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT COUNCILWOMAN GIVE US COMMENTS, AND THE NONPROFIT RULED, ESPECIALLY THE DIOCESE. WE DO NOT ON ANY PROPERTY OF ANY CATHOLIC. PROPERTY NO BOUNCING HOUSES BECAUSE OF THE HUGE LIABILITY BOUNCING HOUSES HAVE IT'S SO I REALLY WOULD LIKE. UM FEED WAGON REGARD TO THAT. SO IF WE CAN GET THAT BEFORE WE APPROVE THE FINAL UM OF THE APPLICANT AND WOULD BE GREAT. UM AND THEN. DO YOU THINK 10 YARD IS GOING TO BE ENOUGH? FOR THE APPLICANT AND THEIR GARBAGE. WELL WE WILL GET SO MUCH BIGGER THAN OUR LADY GUADALUPE. NO MA'AM, I UNDERSTAND AND WE FEEL ATTEND IN A WEEK. AND. RIGHT WE WILL. WE WILL HAVE OUR PARKS, RECREATION DIRECTOR WHO'S ON TOP OF THIS EVALUATE, YOU KNOW, FREQUENCY AND HOW MUCH IN SIZE AND THAT TYPE OF THING. SHE'S PAYING ATTENTION TO ALL THOSE DETAILS. OKAY. WELL, THANK YOU.
GIBBS, THOMAS. THANK YOU FOR BEARING WITH ME. UM IT WAS STATED THAT LAST YEAR WE BUDGETED ARE WE YOU AROUND $3000 LAST YEAR AND WAIVED FEES. UM AND IT LOOKS LIKE IN THIS ONE EVENT JUST BETWEEN BARRICADES, PORTABLES. THE DUMPSTERS. THOSE THREE THINGS. WE'RE GONNA BLOW THAT OUT OF THE WATER JUST IN THE ONE EVENT. SO WE WILL ADJUST OUR BUDGET. ACCORDINGLY WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE ABSORBED TO OUR CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT. IF WE DO GO OVER OVER BUDGET LINE ITEMS, SO IT'S THERE'S A SAFETY NET. YEAH. BUT TO YOUR GUESS TO PROVIDE CLARIFICATION. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL HAVE TO BUDGET FOR IN THE FUTURE. SO NOW WE HAVE A HISTORY THAT WERE ENCOURAGED THESE KIND OF COSTS AND SO IN THE NEXT YEAR WHEN WE PREPARED MIXTURES BUDGET, THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WILL BE ABLE TO SAY. WELL $8000 FOR THIS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE KNOW AT LEAST ONE EVENT THAT WILL BE HAVING EVERY YEAR. SO KIND OF HOW IT HAPPENS. STONE. MR BROWN. DO WE HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF BUDGET THAT WE WENT OUT? ALLOCATE AS FAR AS WAIVING FEES. WE DO NOT HAVE A BUDGET ALLOCATED FOR THIS. UM THERE'S A CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT THAT WE USED WHEN WE HAVE THESE THINGS THAT ARE NOT IN THE BUDGET TO USE. OKAY SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'D BE USING IT FOR RIGHT NOW. AND HOW MUCH DID WE BASICALLY DO LAST YEAR? I KNOW IT WAS ROUGHLY AROUND THREE. BUT I DON'T KNOW. I KNOW THAT COUNCILWOMAN HAD REQUESTED SOME INFORMATION.
[01:15:01]
REMEMBER, WE DID THE THINK IT WAS YOU, SUSAN. WE LOOKED AT HOW MUCH WE GAVE OUT. WAS IT, YOUR JACK? OKAY. AND SO I DON'T HAVE THOSE NUMBERS, BUT WE DO HAVE THOSE NUMBERS THAT WE CAN GET TO QUICKLY. I KNOW MIKE MIKE FLOREAL IS WATCHING THIS AND HE'S BACK IN HIS OFFICE, SO HE'S PROBABLY LIKE OH, I'M GONNA BE WALKING AROUND HERE WITH THE ANSWER, BUT BUT WE CAN. WE CAN DEFINITELY, UM GET THAT INFORMATION FOR IT. I'M JUST CURIOUS JUST TO SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COUNCIL WANT TO CONSIDER AS FAR AS FROM WHICH WE WANT TO ALLOCATE AS FAR AS WAIVING FEES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, TO DEFINITELY DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. I KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO START OUR BUDGET PROCESS SOMEWHERE IN JULY. SO AFTER WE GET THE FINAL TAXABLE VALUES FOR THE VILLAGE AT THAT TIME WILL BE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO FOR THE NEXT YEAR. HERNANDEZ. SORRY. UM. SO DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS WE CAN EMPLOY INCLUDE THIS EVENT SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN NEXT YEAR AND THE FOLLOWING YEAR. ALL OF IT AND SOME OF IT YOU CAN DO. YOU CAN DO BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT I WORRY ABOUT IS IN THE FUTURE. WE'RE DOING THIS FOR ONE. THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO IT FOR OTHERS. AND THEN THAT'S WHERE YOU KNOW WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DRAW A LINE BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S TAXPAYER MONEY.THANK YOU. ANY MORE COMMENTS FROM OUR COUNCIL. AWESOME SO ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT US TO, UH, TAKE A STEP BACK, AND, UM TAKE A LOOK AT IS IF YOU ALL REMEMBER WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SUPPORTING THESE EVENTS BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS COMMUNITY.
REMEMBER THAT WE TALKED ABOUT SUPPORTING THE CHAMBER AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING. AND DURING OUR STRATEGIC MEETING WE THERE WAS A LIST OF ALL OF THE MONIES THAT THE VILLAGE HAD PAID OUT TO SUPPORT. UM THESE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. I DON'T THINK THIS ORGANIZATION IS NO DIFFERENT. THEN THE CHAMBER AND WE WANT. WE DON'T WANT TO STOP FOLKS FROM HAVING EVENTS IN THIS COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S DESIGNED TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER. IF YOU HAVE AN EVENT OR WHATEVER ORGANIZATION IS HAVING SOMETHING IT SHOULD BE.
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, THIS COUNCIL'S JOB IS TO SUPPORT WHAT IS HAPPENING. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS COMMUNITY. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE TABLE.
