PROBABLY. WE DON'T SAY ENOUGH. PROBABLY WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND RESIDENTS THAT GET UPSET IN REGARDS OF THINGS NOT MOVING FAST, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ARE TRYING YOUR BEST ON DOING WHAT YOU CAN WITH THE SOURCE RESOURCES YOU HAVE, UM IT SEEMS LIKE WHEN WE GO FOUR STEPS AHEAD . WE GO THREE STEPS OR TWO STEPS BEHIND BECAUSE SOMEONE JUST LEFT AND THEN IT TAKES TIME TO CONTRACT SOMEONE ELSE TO GET A REPLACEMENT. SO I APPRECIATE EVERY STAFF MEMBER. I EVEN HAD TO CALL ONE DAY MY ATTORNEY AND ASKED HIM A QUESTION THAT WAS NOT RELATED TO VILLAGE LAW. UM SO I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO, BECAUSE IN REALITY IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU GUYS, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO HOLD THE SHIP. WELL WHAT WERE, YOU KNOW? BUILDING IT? SO, UM, I THANK YOU. IT'S ELECTION SEASON. IT GETS CRAZY DUE TO MOUNTING NONSENSE THAT GOES ON. I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND A FORUM AND MY TAKE BACK FROM THAT WAS YOU KNOW SOME NEGATIVITY AND HATRED THAT SOME INDIVIDUALS CARRY IN THEIR HARM. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I SAY IS IN ORDER TO BE EFFECTIVE. BRING SOLUTIONS NOT JUST THE NEGATIVITY. HOW CAN WE BETTER OURSELVES? UM WE MAY HAVE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES, BUT THE END OF THE DAY I CAN WALK OUT OF HERE AND STILL HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU. I ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND NALEO CONFERENCE, WHICH IS, UM, THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LATINO ELECTED OFFICIALS AND CHICAGO AND APPRECIATED THE NATIONAL UM, IN THE LAYOUT BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR BELIEVING ME.

I'M COMMITTED TO SEEKING ALL THE NECESSARY RESOURCES TO HELP US WITH THESE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY YOU ALWAYS SEE ME AT THE FLORIDA LEGAL CITIES.

SRF Funding Update by Daniel Magro

[00:20:02]

DANIEL, ARE YOU THERE? YES, I'M HERE. CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY, GO RIGHT AHEAD. YES GREAT. THANK YOU. WELL GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE COUNCIL AND EVERYBODY ON THE STATUS OF THE OF THE SRF LOANS AND THOSE PROJECTS AS YOU MAY RECALL, THE VILLAGE RIGHT NOW HAS THREE OPEN LOANS WITH THE SRF. TWO ON THE DRINKING WATER SIDE AND ONE ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE REGARDING THE DRINKING WATER SIDE. UM ONE OF THOSE IS LIKE PLANNING LAWN, WHICH IS WHICH WAS USED TO PAY FOR THE DRINKING WATER MASTER PLAN THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

AND THE OTHER IS A DESIGN LOAN, WHICH IS BEING USED TO PAY FOR THE DESIGN OF THROUGH PROJECTS.

THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS, THE RAILROAD AVENUE WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENTS.

AND THE SOUTHWEST, ONE 51ST STREET WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT. UM THOSE THREE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN FULLY DESIGNED BY KIM LEE HORN. UH, THEY WERE COMPLETED ON TIME ON SCHEDULE, AND THEY WERE SUBMITTED TO THE SRF. ALL THE PLANS AND SPECS WERE SUBMITTED TO THE SRF A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

TO MEET THEIR DEADLINES. SO THAT'S GOOD. UM THE INTENT IS TO PLACE HIM FOR FUNDING IN THE AUGUST FUNDING HEARING UP IN TALLAHASSEE. UM IN DOING SO, THOUGH A NEW COST ESTIMATE WAS REPAIRED FOR ALL THOSE PROJECTS , UM, AND COMPARING THAT COST ESTIMATE TO THE PREVIOUS ONE THAT WAS DONE. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER FOR VARIOUS REASONS. UM AND SO THE SRF IS LOOKING AT THOSE COSTS AND THEY'RE THEY'RE ASKING , UM, YOU KNOW WHICH PROJECT IS REALLY THEIR HIGHEST PRIORITY PROJECT BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT IN LOOKING AT THE AVAILABLE FUNDING THROUGH THE SRF AND THE CAPS THEY HAVE FOR PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS. UM WHICH, IN THIS CASE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE A FIVE AND A QUARTER MILLION DOLLAR CAP PER PROJECT FOR PRINCIPAL FORGIVENESS OR PER APPLICATION. I SHOULD SAY IN THIS CASE, IT INCLUDES THOSE THREE PROJECTS. UM THE DEBT SERVICE ON THAT LOAN IS A HIGHER AMOUNT THAT THAT WAS ESTIMATED ORIGINALLY AND THEREFORE THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE CURRENT REVENUES ON THE DRINKING WATER SIDE, AND THEY'RE QUESTIONING. YOU KNOW HOW HOW THE VILLAGE WOULD PAY THAT THAT SERVICE AND SO THEY ARE ASKING FOR SOME DIRECTION AS TO WHICH PROJECT IS THE MOST CRITICAL BECAUSE THEY WILL ONLY LIST EITHER. YOU KNOW ONE PROJECT, WHICH WOULD BE THE WATER PLANT PROJECT. OR THE OTHER TWO WATER MAIN PROJECTS FOR FUNDING NOW, NOW IN AUGUST UM SO THAT'S YOU KNOW, IT ALL DEPENDS EVEN THOUGH THE VILLAGE QUALIFIES FOR A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF GRANT ON THE DRINKING WATER SIDE, IT'S ALL FUNCTION ON ON THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THE SRF PAST.

PARTICULARLY IF PARTICULAR FUNDING HEARING AND THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS THEY RECEIVE AND THE CAPS THEY SET. SO IN THIS CASE YOU KNOW THE TOTAL ESTIMATE FOR CONSTRUCTING THOSE THREE PROJECTS IS NEAR THE $20 MILLION RANGE. AND THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPLE FORGIVENESS AGAIN IS FIVE AND A QUARTER, SO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE WOULD BE ALONE. UM YOU KNOW, WE'LL NEED SOME DIRECTION ON COUNCIL AND THAT WHICH WE CAN DISCUSS. I'LL JUST BRIEFLY TOUCHED ON THE WASTEWATER ONE BECAUSE IT'S A IT'S MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD IN THAT CASE. THE PLANNING ALONE THAT THE VILLAGE HAS HAS BEEN USED TO PLAN FOR THE WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS AND THAT'S BEEN COMPLETE. UM IT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE SRF ALSO ON TIME AND ON SCHEDULE. AND THE DESIGN OF THE OF THE WASTEWATER PLANT AND SOME OTHER IMPROVEMENTS, UM, ARE BEING LISTED IN THEIR AUGUST FUNDING HEARING FOR A DESIGN LOAN. UM SO WE'LL SEE HOW MUCH FUNDING IS ALLOCATED, BUT THERE'S NO NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY THERE FROM WHAT WE'VE DISCUSSED IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS. UM SO WE'LL GO BACK TO THE WATER, YOU KNOW, DRINKING WATER. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE, I CAN ADD. YOU KNOW, WE'LL NEED DIRECTION ON THE COUNCIL AS FAR AS WE WHICH PROJECTS TO PRIORITIZE. COUNCILWOMAN HERNANDEZ HAS A QUESTION. SO I DID SEE WEST OF MIAMI HAD THEIR CONGRESS. UM, WOMAN SUBMIT, LIKE A SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS IN REGARDS ON A FEDERAL LEVEL. I KNOW THERE ARE LIKE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES. UM AND I DID TALK TO, UM MR VILLAGE MANAGER, AND HE STATED THAT THE EARMARK FOR THIS UM, TIME IT'S ALREADY

[00:25:06]

TO SUBMIT SOMETHING CERTAINLY. BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S CRUEL RULE HAS A LOT OF ADVANTAGES WE HAVE WE HAVE. I THINK WE CHECKED EVERY BOX OF RULE. DIVERSITY NEW NAME IT. UM, SO I. I WAS TALKING TO SOME PEOPLE DON'T, UM, THAT WORK IN WASHINGTON D C IN REGARDS OF THAT. SO THEY JUST SAID, YOU KNOW, WE JUST GOT TO BE ON TOP OF THE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES. AND DEADLINES. YES CERTAINLY THERE ARE THERE ARE ALL THE OTHER FEDERAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL THAT CAN BE EXPLORED FURTHER THAT. IN THIS CASE, I'M SPEAKING FROM THE SRF POINT OF VIEW, BECAUSE THAT IS THE YOU KNOW THE AVENUE THAT THAT THESE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN MOVING FORWARD WITH. BUT JUST LIKE IN THE WASTEWATER SIDE, THE VILLAGE RECEIVED AN APPROPRIATION FROM THE STATE. UM YOU KNOW, THAT CAN BE USED TO SUPPLEMENT THE SRF FUNDING. I WOULD IMAGINE THE SAME THING CAN BE DONE ON THE WATERSIDE. OKAY? FLY SOMEWHERE. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. IF THERE'S NO OBJECTIONS, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE VOTE FOR A PROJECT ONE THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENT. IN MY, UH, OPINION, I THINK IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT OUT OF ALL. THREE UM, BECAUSE I THINK THE WORD TO TREATMENT IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BEGIN TO IMPROVE THE RAILROAD AVENUE AND THE ONE 51ST STREET WATER MAIN, SO MM. IF THERE IS NO OBJECTIONS. I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION. AND I SUCK IN THAT MOTION. ANY DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL. ALL IN FAVOR TO MAKE THAT A PRIORITY THAT AMERICA SORRY. GO AHEAD OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. YES, YOU DID. I'M SORRY. OUR PUBLIC, HE SAID. PUBLIC COMMENT. IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ISSUE? MADAM MAYOR? THAT'S ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY OBJECTIONS. ALL IN FAVOR. I IS. MR BROWN? YES,

Relocation of SW Trail Drive Marty Bus Stop Location

COUNCILWOMAN GIBBS, THOMAS. UH MR JIM GORDON, WHO'S WITH MARTIN COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND MR ASHE BEECHER WITH MARTIN COUNTY TRANSIT DEPARTMENT, AND WE SPOKE ABOUT AN EXISTING BUS STOP. THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO GRIND. GROCERY STORE IS LOCATED ON TRAIL ROAD TRAIL DRIVE NEXT TO WAR FIELD BOULEVARD. AND AS WE ALL KNOW HOW CLOSE IT IS TO 7 10. HOW WHEN THAT BUS STOPS, UM PEOPLE ARE IN A HURRY. THEY DRIVE AROUND IT AND WHEN THEY DO SOMEBODY'S COMING OFF 7 10. AND I'M SURE IF YOU'RE LIKE ME YOU'VE SEEN IT HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. SOMEBODY COME AROUND THERE AND JUST BARELY MISSED, UM, HAVING A CRASH AND SO IT'S DEFINITELY A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE. SO SINCE WE HAVE APPROVED THE, UM. FIXING OF THAT ROAD AND INSTALLING CURBING. UM TO THAT ROADWAY IN ORDER TO PREVENT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO IT ALREADY WITH THE DISAGGREGATE GAY STATION AND TEARING IT DOWN. IT WOULD BE A VERY SIMPLE PROCESS FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND. UM TWO. STOP THE CURVING AND ALLOW FOR AN ENTRANCE ALONG THERE WHEN IT IS NEEDED SO IN THE FUTURE. AND THAT'S WE'RE TALKING WITH. AND MR JENKINS CAN SPEAK TO THAT, TOO. UM MOVING THAT BECAUSE THERE'S DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS WERE INVOLVED AND SAID, YOU KNOW, I'LL LET HIM SPEAK TO THAT. BUT UM, IT WOULD BE WHO'VE IT WOULD SAVE MONEY DOWN THE LINE. IT WOULD BE, UH, SAY, I

[00:30:05]

AND THAT THEY WOULD THEN CONSTRUCT, NOT OBVIOUSLY. YOU WOULD LEAVE A SPACE IN YOUR PROJECT AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, HOWARD, BUT DID YOU GET THE SAME THAT THAT WE LEAVE A PART OF THE CURB OUT AND THAT THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONCRETE PAD THAT THE. YEAH.

SHELTER SITS ON AND THEN THE APRON DOWN TO THE SURFACE OF THE RED. SO UM, AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO IT. AND YOU WERE GOING TO SEND THEM SOME INFORMATION. THEY WERE GOING TO SEND YOU SOME INFORMATION SO LIKE ANYTHING IN GOVERNMENT. I THINK WE ALL JUST NEED TO STAY ON TOP OF THEM TO MAKE SURE IT KEEPS GOING FORWARD. SO, BUT THEY WERE VERY RECEPTIVE TO IT.

AND WHICH WHICH WHICH MARTY, STOP IS THIS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. BYE. RYAN TRAIL DRIVE RIGHT NEXT TO A RETENTION POND JUST SOUTH OF SHELL GAS STATION WHERE YOU'RE GONNA PUT IT IF IT'S MOVED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. YOU'RE JUST MOVING FROM ONE LOCATION TO THE NEXT FURTHER DOWN DOWN ON ACCESS WITH THE WITH THE ROAD COMING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. OH, YEAH. SO THE BUS WOULD ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO GET OFF THAT THOROUGHFARE AND NOT BACK UP ANY TRAFFIC EITHER ONE AND I'M SORRY IF WE WEREN'T CLEAR ON THAT. IT'S THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT WE OWN RIGHT.

THAT ONE. I MEAN THE BUS GOING TO HAVE TO STOP ANYWAY. I MEAN, THAT DON'T STOP CARS FROM COMING AROUND IT, BUT I'M JUST SAYING THAT IT MIGHT BE SAFER. I'M JUST SAYING I'M TRYING TO VISUALIZE IT. BUT I MEAN, WHAT ALLOWS THE BUS GET OUT OF THE LINE OF TRAFFIC. RIGHT SO THE EVERYBODY CAN DO THEIR THING. KEEP MOVING AND NOT BACK UP. TRAFFIC OUT INTO THE ROAD ROOM. YEAH. BUT ANYWAY, I'LL HELP ON MY END ESTATE. MAKE SURE THAT MY PEOPLE STAY GOING THAT WAY. YOU KNOW, WE JUST IT'S A DISCUSSION, RIGHT? FOR NOW, BUT, YEAH, I LIKE TO SEE THAT. GO ABOUT IT.

AND SEE WHERE IT'S GOING TO ACTUALLY BE. MADAM MAYOR IF I COULD STAY UP THERE, MR JENKINS, WHERE YOU GOING? MAYOR VICE MAYOR, UM. AH AT FIRST I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AGAIN. LIKE YOU SAID, WHERE IS THIS? YOU KNOW? HOW IS THIS GOING TO BE DONE? UM HAVE WE? HOWARD TALKED TO OUR PUBLICS WORKS, FOLKS TO SEE UM, THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS A SMOOTH TRANSITION. AS YOU WERE SAYING, UM, TO GET THIS ACCOMPLISHED. THAT'S MY FIRST QUESTION. WELL, LET'S ANSWER THAT ONE FIRST. YES, OKAY. AND THEY ARE. WELL NO UPDATE, OKAY? NO, I'VE SPOKEN WITH PATRICK NOLAN. OUR OUR NEW INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AND I KNOW THAT HE'S HE'S INTERFACE WITH MR GORDON WITH MARTIN COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. BUT THERE'S NO UPDATE PAST THAT, OKAY, BECAUSE I THINK WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE . AND MAYBE THIS. I KNOW HOW TO HELP ME WITH IT IS WHAT WOULD THIS LOOK LIKE? WHEN IT'S COMPLETED? AND YOU KNOW, LIKE, UH, FOR THE VILLAGE HALL? UH THE ENGINEERS KIND OF LAID OUT WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE. AND SO I WONDER IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO GET A VISUAL ACTUALLY HAD THERE'S A THERE'S A THERE'S A THERE'S A RESPECT. UH SECTION DETAIL ON WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE, BUT IT'S NOT ENGINEERED DRAWINGS AND THERE WERE NOT THERE YET. OKAY WE HAVE TO WORK FOR DISCUSSION. YEAH. WELL, I MEAN, IF IT UM HAD, UM SO NOW MY QUESTION WOULD BE IS SO WHEN THE COUNTY PUT IT THERE . I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES THEY DO, UM ANALYSIS AND, YOU KNOW, UM, DIFFERENT TYPE OF STUDIES TO SEE IF IT'S SAFE THERE OR HOW MANY CARS PASSED THROUGH. HAVE WE DONE ANY OF THAT? WELL, IT WOULD BE THE COUNTY AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S NECESSARY. WE'RE

[00:35:06]

HAVE HEARD. HAS THERE BEEN ANY CRASHES THERE? NOT THAT I KNOW OF. WELL WELL WAS SAYING YES, WE DON'T KNOW. BUT WE'RE HERE.

Potential Actions to Address Recent Village Manager Actions

UM. WELL, WE CAN READ THE SUMMARY OF THE ITEMS, SO WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH SINCE IT WAS READ AT THE JUNE 9TH MEETING, 2022 COUNCIL MEETING THE COUNCIL MEMBER GIBBS THOMAS REQUESTED AN AGENDA ITEM REGARDING RECENT VILLAGE MANAGER ACTIONS. ON DECEMBER THE 9TH 2021, THE COUNCIL ADOPTED ORDINANCE NUMBER 07-20. AMENDING THE VILLAGE PERSONNEL REGULATIONS. THE ORDINANCE GAVE THE VILLAGE MANAGER THE AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE BENEFITS TO AN EMPLOYEE AND EXCESS OF THOSE PROVIDED TO THE PERSONNEL. PROVIDED IN THE PERSONNEL REGULATIONS WHEN THE VILLAGE MANAGER DEEMS IT NECESSARY FOR THE HIRING FOR THE PURPOSE OF HIRING OR RETAINING AN EMPLOYEE WITH MISSION CRITICAL EXPERIENCE. THE ORDINANCE FURTHER PROVIDES THAT IF THIS AUTHORITY IS EXERCISED, THE VILLAGE MANAGERS SHALL SO NOTIFY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS IN WRITING WITHIN SEVEN DAYS THEREAFTER. THE VILLAGE MANAGER EXERCISE THIS AUTHORITY TWICE IN JANUARY OF 2022. WHILE THE VILLAGE MANAGER RECALLS VERBALLY ADVISING COUNSEL MEMBERS OF THOSE ACTIONS AROUND THE TIME THEY OCCURRED. THE VILLAGE MANAGER, FIRST PROVIDED WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE EXERCISE. ON JUNE THE 1ST 2022 COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES. THOMAS HAS EXPRESSED CONCERNS OVER THIS OCCURRENCE AS WELL AS OTHERS THAT COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS IS CONCERNED MAY DEVIATE FROM BEST PRACTICES. SO I'VE REQUESTED THE AGENDA ITEM TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL COUNCIL ACTION REGARDING THESE CONCERNS. SO THAT PRETTY WELL. , MR BROWN, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO? WELL, I WOULD JUST SPEAK TO. I MET WITH THE COUNCILWOMAN ON WEDNESDAY ABOUT IT AND IT IS TRUE THAT I DID NOT PROVIDE THE COUNCIL WITH IN WRITING WITHIN SEVEN DAYS. AND OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON HERE AT THE VILLAGE. AND YOU KNOW MY APOLOGIES FOR THAT. BUT MY INTENT WAS TO MAKE SURE THE COUNCIL HAD IT IN WRITING. IT

[00:45:02]

AND IT'S ALSO POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE. I CAN INCLUDE THAT IN MY BI MONTHLY, SO THAT WAY NOT ONLY THE COUNCIL HAS IT THE PUBLIC HAS IT WOULD HAVE IT AS WELL. OKAY, UM ALSO, I AND YOU KNOW, YOU SAID THINGS GET BUSY. OKAY? AND I DO UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT ONCE AGAIN UM WE ARE SWORN TO UPHOLD THE LAW, AND I THINK IT'S OUR DUTY TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM WE GET IT RIGHT. THIS IS NOT . IT'S NOT A HIGH SCHOOL MATH TEST WHERE, YOU KNOW, LET'S HAVE A DO OVER. THIS IS WE HAVE, UM THE HIGHEST ETHICS AND PRINCIPLES AND I THINK THAT SEEING HOW THINGS GET SO BUSY AND, UM. IT WAS, I'LL CHALK IT UP TO A FAILED A FAILED TEST. YOU KNOW, GIVING THOSE CHARTER RIGHTS THAT WE HAVE THAT THE PUBLIC HAS HAS DURING A REFERENDUM SAID DON'T GIVE THOSE AWAY. WE GAVE THEM AWAY AND IT'S IT FAILED. SO I THINK MAYBE IT IS APPROPRIATE THAT WE TALK ABOUT RESCINDING THOSE. AND JUST SINCE THINGS GET SO BUSY, SOMETHING THAT WE RETAIN, JUST LIKE THE CHARTER TELLS US THAT WE SHOULD SO THAT'S MY THAT'S MY SUMMARY. NICE MAN. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR A FEW MONTHS AGO, UM , WHEN THIS CONVERSATION CAME UP CONCERNING, UM. UM WHAT WE SET OUT IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. UM THIS POLICY OF THAT WE NEEDED TO NOTIFY THAT THE VILLAGE MANAGER NEEDED TO BE TO NOTIFY THE COUNCIL WRITTEN WITHIN SEVEN DAYS. UM I VOTED AGAINST THIS.

UH AND THE REASON WHY I VOTED AGAINST IT BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH NOW. SO JUST BECAUSE THE CITY MANAGER DID NOT PUT IT IN WRITING AND AS HE HAS MENTIONED WE MAKE WEEKLY. SO UM YOU KNOW, I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR ME, BUT I WAS AWARE, UM, BUT UM , THAT'S IN THEORY, BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT REALITY. WE'RE SHORT STAFFED. WE JUST WE'RE GONNA HEAR TONIGHT FROM ONE OF, UH, THE AUDITOR'S ONE OF THE FINDINGS IS THAT WE'RE SHORT STAFF. UM AND SO WHEN YOU HAVE SO MUCH WORK WITH SO LITTLE PEOPLE, AND THEN WE HAVE A TURNOVER, THE GREAT THE GREAT RESIGNATION IS HAPPENING DURING THIS PERIOD AS WELL. AND SO I THINK WHAT? WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS GIVEN OUR VILLAGE MANAGER BUSYWORK. INSTEAD OF GIVING HIM ALLOWING HIM TO DO WHAT HE DOES.

NOW HE'S APOLOGIZED, WHICH, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK OF AN APOLOGY WAS NECESSARY. BUT UM, YOU KNOW, WE ADMIT OUR OWNS AND WE KEEP IT MOVING. BUT I THINK WE NEED TO REVISIT THAT POLICY.

UM BECAUSE IF WE WANT TO PREVENT THESE TYPE OF THINGS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE, UM I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO PUT IT IN THE BIMONTHLY PORK. THAT'S WHY IT'S ALL THERE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE COUNCIL MEMBER OUR READS IT OR NOT, BUT IT'S A WEALTH OF INFORMATION, AND I ENCOURAGE ALL

[00:50:04]

I'M THE YEAH, I SO I UNDERSTAND . YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SAY THAT WE HAVE SO MUCH STAFF. IF YOU WOULD GO. AND SPEND A DAY WITH MR MIKE FLORA. THE GUY THAT DOES THE ACCOUNTING AND YOU SEE ALL THE STUFF AND HIM BEING A ONE MAN SHOW. ME COMING FROM ACCOUNTING . I DEFINITELY KNOW THAT THAT GUY NEEDS TO ASSISTANTS. TWO FULL TIME PEOPLE HELPING HIM ONE ACCOUNTS PAYABLE ONE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE MIXED UP AND ALL THAT AND THINGS FLOW. IF YOU WOULD IF YOU KNEW ABOUT VILLAGE CLERK. HOW SHE'S HERE. TILL 89 10 PM SHE REMINDS ME OF ME BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE MY

[00:55:02]

THEY TOLD US SO IT'S EASY PEASY. WE FOUND OUT A LOT OF THINGS SO TRYING TO MANAGE THIS GOVERNMENT PLUS ANOTHER BUSINESS, WHICH IS THE WATER COMPANY. IT'S HARD. AND I LITERALLY HAVE TO CALL HIM SOMETIMES FIVE TIMES BECAUSE HE HE'S NEVER ANSWERING BECAUSE I KNOW HE'S ALWAYS IN MEETINGS.

AND WHEN I WALK IN SOMETIMES, WHICH I USUALLY DO. WHERE'S MR BROWN? OH, HE'S IN THE MEETING.

SO YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND WITH THE REVOLVING DOOR. OUR DEPARTMENTS ARE LIKE I'M TELLING YOU, WE'RE TRYING TO PLAY CATCH UP LIKE WE'RE GOING FORWARD STEPS FORWARD TO BACKWARDS AND IT'S LIKE WE HAVE TO RESTART EVERY TIME A PERSON COMES ON BOARD. IS A RESET BUTTON FOR A YEAR OR SIX MONTHS BECAUSE THAT PERSON IS DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING . YES THEY KNOW SOMETHING, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW THINGS FUNCTION. EVERY EVERY JOB IS DIFFERENT, AND EVERY PLACE IS DIFFERENT. THEY DO EVERYTHING DIFFERENTLY. SO TO THE POINT WHERE YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE HUMAN. I SEE IT . WE ARE HUMAN, AND HE HAS SAID SORRY. AND IF YOU DON'T ACCEPT THAT, THAT'S YOU. BUT I'M JUST SAYING HE'S HUMAN AND GOING FORWARD. HE HAS. GIVEN US A SOLUTION, PUTTING IT ONTO WHAT THE, UM BY MONTHLY REPORT, UM OR BY WEEKLY REPORT. UM AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT THAT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO STEP, BUT I'M JUST SAYING I KNOW, WORKING IN THE HUMAN RESOURCE FIELD AND MANAGEMENT. I KNOW THAT YOU GET YOU GET THROWN EVERYTHING AND YOU'RE THE PROBLEM SOLVER FOR EVERYBODY, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE DEPARTMENT HEADS. BUT THERE MIGHT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN. DEPARTMENT CAN'T TAKE OVER AND GUESS WHO'S GUESSES CALLED VILLAGE MANAGER, AND THEN YOU HAVE I FEEL BAD FOR HIM BECAUSE HAVING FIVE DIFFERENT BOSSES WITH FIVE DIFFERENT ATTITUDES. TRUST ME. I KNOW EACH EVERY PERSON HERE HAS A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE. AND SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T DON'T KNOW HOW TO TREAT OTHER PEOPLE. YOU KNOW, WE GOTTA TREAT THE PERSON LIKE IF THEY WERE THEY WERE AND HOW YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SCREAMED AT AND YELLED AT I KNOW I DON'T I WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY EARLY AND GOTTEN ANOTHER JOB. MHM ANYWAY. WE ARE ALL OF US ARE HUMAN FIRST AT THE END OF THE DAY. LISTEN YOU AIN'T TRYING TO CRUCIFY NOBODY BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GET THE REPORT AT YOUR A LOT OF TIME OR I WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT ON BOTH TIMES. I'M PRETTY SURE. MR JENKINS. GOOD TO TELL YOU. LET'S GET DON'T GET IT TWISTED, AND I HE DONE STOLE SOMEBODY MONEY OR SOMETHING. SO NOW WE'RE READY TO CRUCIFY HIM BECAUSE HE DIDN'T GET THE FIRST REPORT ON TIME. SO I'LL STAND BEHIND MR BROWN AND HIS STAFF UP HERE SO CAN SHE GET EMOTION FOR THIS? OR. I DO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS MATTER.

PUBLIC COMMENT. I HAVE A LETTER FROM DONALD RODRIGUE, A NO. NO, I'M WAITING FOR SHE WANTED TO DO. THE COMMENT FIRST. MR BROWN HAS INFORMED ME THAT HE PREFERS TO ADDRESS THE QUESTIONS I SENT TO HIM ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS REGISTERED AGAINST HIM ON JUNE 9TH DURING THE UPCOMING PUBLIC DISCUSSION. FIRST. CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT MEETING I TOLD HIM THAT, UM THE QUESTIONS ARE FIRST. CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY IT TOOK YOU NEARLY FIVE MONTHS TO NOTIFY THE COUNCIL ABOUT THE NEGOTIATED BENEFITS FOR TWO EMPLOYEES? WHEN YOU AGREED TO THE PROVISIONS ADDED ON DECEMBER 9TH TO NOTIFY THE BOARD WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF EACH SEPARATE BENEFIT, ADDED DID YOU ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR THE ABILITY ON DECEMBER 9TH TO GO OUTSIDE THE ADOPTED PERSONNEL POLICY FOR NEGOTIATION PURPOSES BECAUSE TRACY BRYANT HAD ALREADY TENDERED HER RESIGNATION. AND YOU DID NOT WANT TO LOSE THAT EMPLOYEE. HOW WILL YOU KEEP THIS FROM BECOMING A PRECEDENT IN WHICH ALL NEW HIRES OR EVEN EXISTING STAFF ALL WANT TO WERE EXPECT SOMETHING EXTRA FROM YOU? CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THE REASONING BEHIND YOUR

[01:00:06]

SO ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT IS REQUIRED AS OF JUNE, UH AS OF SEPTEMBER, 30TH 2021 IS INCORPORATE THE REPORT. THE REPORT INCLUDES ALL OF THE REQUIRED DISCLOSURES. YOU WILL SEE THAT I BOUGHT BOTH THE FUN LEVEL AND ALSO YOUR PROPRIETARY FUND, WHICH IS THE WATER AND WASTE WATER FUND. THE VILLAGE DOES HAVE SUFFICIENT CURRENT ASSETS TO SATISFY THE CURRENT LIABILITIES AS OF SEPTEMBER, 30TH 2021, YOU WILL SEE IF YOU GO TO PAGES 11 THROUGH 15. THAT'S WHAT WE CALL THE FUND LEVEL. IF YOU GO TO PAGES 15 AND 16. THAT'S OUR PROPRIETARY FUND THAT'S THE WATER AND WASTE WATER. UM AS PART OF THE REPORT , YOU WILL SEE OUR ENDING BALANCE ON LONG TERM DEBT IS APPROXIMATELY $3.9 MILLION AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR THAT LONG TERM DEBT OR LONG TERM LIABILITY. THAT INCLUDES THE REVOLVING LOANS THAT WE SPOKE EARLIER. YOU WILL ALSO SEE THE PENSION LIABILITY THAT IS ALSO REPORTED AS PART OF THE CITY FINANCIALS. THE CITY DID MEET ALL OF THEIR ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED. THAT WE'RE PRESENTING. UM ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'D LIKE TO MENTION IS THE REPORT INCORPORATES ALL OF THE REQUIRED DISCLOSURES IN ACCORDANCE TO GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD, WHICH IS ALL OF THAT REQUIRED PRONOUNCEMENTS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I WAS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, THE FLORIDA GFO A THE FLORIDA GOVERNMENT FINANCE

[01:05:01]

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE, UH THE PROFESSIONAL CONTINUES TO CHANGE. IT'S ALWAYS EVOLVING.

THERE'S TWO NOTES. STANDARDS COMING ON BOARD, COMING ONLINE, MORE REPORTING. ONE OF THEM IS GATSBY 87. WHICH IS LEASE ACCOUNTING THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE ADDITIONAL ACCOUNTING IN THE FINAL REPORT. IT DOESN'T AFFECT SOME OF YOUR DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS, BUT IT DOES AFFECT THE FINAL REPORT THAT WE SUBMIT TO THE STATE AND THAT'S NEXT YEAR OR IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE GAS B 96 , WHICH IS WHAT WE CALL SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENTS. THAT'S VERY SIMILAR TO LEASES WHERE YOU HAVE TO RECORD A RIGHT OF ASSET AND A LIABILITY. YOU DO THE SAME THING. WITH INTANGIBLES, WHICH IS YOUR SOFTWARE, SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS, THERE'S A LOT OF THAT GOES INTO THE FINANCIALS. UM WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH MR FLORIDA. MR BROWN. UM THERE WAS A LOT FOR OUR FIRST YEAR AND WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY. TO BE OF SERVICE, UH TO THE VILLAGE . WHAT I WANTED TO DO IS WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF MORE ITEMS TO DISCUSS. UH, AND SOME REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS AND MR EMERY IS GOING TO STEP FORWARD AND TAKE CARE OF THOSE. AND OF COURSE, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS WE'RE HERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ISRAEL, AS ISRAEL SAID, MY NAME IS STEPHEN EMERY. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING ON THE VILLAGES AUDIT THIS YEAR ALONG WITH MR FLORIO, MR. BROWN AND MR BARNETT BEHIND ME HERE. I'M GONNA GO THROUGH OUR REPORTS THAT WERE REQUIRED TO ISSUE WHENEVER WE DO A GOVERNMENTAL AUDIT, SO YOU'LL SEE THAT IT'S IN THE BACK OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS STARTING AT PAGE 42.

WE HAVE OUR REPORT THAT COVERS THE INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE WITH STATUTES AND REGULATIONS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. WE DID IDENTIFY A FEW OPPORTUNITIES, UH, FOR THE VILLAGE TO STRENGTHEN THEIR INTERNAL CONTROLS. WE WE DISCUSSED AT GREAT LENGTH WITH WITH MR BROWN AND MR FLORIO AN ACTION PLAN GOING FORWARD SO THAT WE CAN ENSURE THAT THE VILLAGE DOES STRENGTHEN THE FINANCIAL REPORTING GOING FORWARD. WITH THAT BEING SAID. AS I SAID, THE SECOND COMPONENT OF THAT REPORT IS COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS, LAWS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE DISCUSSED. WHENEVER YOU'RE DEALING WITH PUBLIC FUNDS, LIKE A GOVERNMENT DOES. WE HAD NO FINDINGS IN THAT AREA, SO WE DIDN'T SEE ANY KIND OF ABUSE. YEAH NO, NO. UH, NO FRAUD OR ABUSE OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

SO WITH THE INTERNAL CONTROLS, UM TIGHTENING UP. WE CAN. WE CAN CERTAINLY HOPE THAT IN THE FUTURE THAT THOSE ACTION PLANS ARE GOING TO BE SWIFTLY ADHERED TO. AND AFTER DISCUSSING WITH MR FLORIO AND YOU CAN, REALLY YOU CAN READ ALL OF THE ACTION PLAN. IT'S RIGHT IN THE REPORT, AND THEY GO INTO GREAT LENGTH AND DETAIL AT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, AND THAT'S REALLY MORE SO THAN JUST WRITING THE CONTROLS. WHAT I LOOK AT AS AN AUDITOR IS THE, UM THE ATTITUDE OF MANAGEMENT AND THEY REALLY DO HAVE AN ATTITUDE THAT'S GOING TO RESOLVE THIS SO THAT'S VERY POSITIVE. ANOTHER THING THAT WE LOOK AT EVERY YEAR IS PRIOR YEAR COMMENTS. SO THESE ARE FIRST YEAR AS THE AUDITOR, SO WE ALWAYS LOOK AT DIFFERENT THINGS IN THE PRIOR YEAR, AND AUDITOR DID HAVE RECOMMENDATION. WE LOOKED AT THAT THAT WAS CORRECTED THIS YEAR, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT GETS REPORTED TO THE STATE AND ANOTHER REPORT BACK HERE. UH WE ALSO NOTED THAT THERE IS NO FINANCIAL EMERGENCY , SO THERE'S NO DETERIORATING FINANCIAL CONDITION. THAT'S JUST A REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE TO DISCUSS WITH THE AUDITOR GENERAL IN THIS REPORT. LASTLY WE HAVE REPORT THAT TALKS ABOUT THE INVESTMENT COMPLIANCE WITH THE FLORIDA STATUTES. YOU ALL WERE COMPLIANT WITH STATUTES IN THAT REGARD SO AGAIN FROM A COMPLIANCE STANDPOINT, CLEAN AUDIT. WE DO HAVE SOME MATTERS THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH VILLAGE MANAGEMENT AND VILLAGE FISCAL DIRECTOR TO KIND OF CLEAN UP FOR NEXT YEAR'S AUDIT AND AS VICE MAYOR DOWLING ON CUE AS HE MENTIONED IT'S, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO STAFF THE PEOPLE THAT WE NEED HERE AND, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW, MR FLORIO IS DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB, BUT HE'S A ONE MAN BAND IN THAT DEPARTMENT. AND SO WE GENERALLY WE DON'T. I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT TO FIND PEOPLE RIGHT NOW TO FACILITATE THAT PROCESS. BUT YOU KNOW IF, IF POSSIBLE. I KNOW THAT'S PART OF THE PLAN TO KINDA ADD TO THAT SO THAT WE CAN HELP SOME OF THESE COMMENTS. GO AWAY IN THE FUTURE. UM, BUT YOU ALL ARE. AS COUNCILWOMAN HERNANDEZ MENTIONED YOU'RE THE NEWEST MUNICIPALITY AND FLORIDA. SO THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A LEARNING CURVE AND WE'RE CERTAINLY VERY APPRECIATIVE TO BE ALONG FOR THE RIDE TO HELP YOU ALL KIND OF MAKE IT THROUGH HERE. WAS I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS COMMENT. SORRY A FEW OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES OF COMMUNICATION THAT I HAVE. THERE ARE CERTAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES THAT MANAGEMENT HAS CHOSEN THAT ARE ALL DESCRIBED IN THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. WE GO THROUGH A DETAILED CHECKLIST TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE POLICIES ARE PROPERLY DESCRIBED IN HERE AND THAT THEY ARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS. THEY ARE WE NOTED NO TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO DURING THE YEAR FOR WHICH THERE IS A LACK OF AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE OR STANDARDS. ALL THE

[01:10:03]

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES. EVERY FINANCIAL STATEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH GAP HAS CERTAIN ESTIMATES THAT GO IN HERE AND NOT EVERYTHING IS A HARD NUMBER. FOR INSTANCE, YOU HAVE DEPRECIATION OF CAPITAL ASSETS. THAT'S AN ESTIMATE. SO WE EVALUATED ALL THOSE THEY APPEAR REASONABLE WHEN THEY'RE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH WITH OUR STANDARDS. WE HAD NO DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT WHEN IT COMES TO HOW TO RECORD TRANSACTIONS OR OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE, AND WE ALSO WE ENCOUNTERED NO DIFFICULTIES IN PERFORMING OUR AUDIT. SO WE DIDN'T WE WEREN'T DETERRED IN ANY WAY FROM CONDUCTING CERTAIN PROCEDURES AND MANAGEMENT WAS EXTREMELY FORTHRIGHT IN COMING TO US LETTING US KNOW UM YOU KNOW OF ANY ISSUES THAT THERE MAY BE AND REALLY WORKED WITH US, WHICH IS WHICH JUST MAKES OUR JOB. CHINA ALL THE EASIER AND IT REALLY IT'S A DEDICATION TOWARDS, UH TOWARDS STRONG FISCAL MANAGEMENT. SO. AGAIN. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE GETTING TO WORK WITH YOU ALL ON YOUR STAFF, AND THAT'S THAT'S THAT WOULD CONCLUDE MY REPORT. BUT WE'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL HAVE AT THIS TIME. COUNCILWOMAN HERNANDEZ. THANK YOU. I KNOW HOW TO GO WHEN THEY GO THROUGHOUT ITS WITH ME, AND I KNOW THE FEELING BUT, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU. UM BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE IN SEPARATION OF DUTIES, ESPECIALLY IN THE COUNTING, HAVING SOMEONE FOR THE RECEIVABLE AND WITH SOMEONE FOR THE PAYABLE JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU'RE YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC'S MONEY. AND I THINK THAT MR FLORIO IS DOING A GREAT JOB, WHICH IS JUST A ONE MAN SHOW AND WE NEED WE NEED SOME STAFF TO HELP HIM SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WE HAVE SEPARATION OF DUTIES. SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR AUDIT, AND I ALREADY KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO START WITH THE NEXT AUDIT SOON. HE CAN'T WAIT, YOU KNOW, CHOMPING AT THE BIT. UM THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. WE DID REALLY PLAN THAT RIGHT? WE COORDINATED . THERE'S NO COLLUSION.

OTHERWISE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATION. DEFINITELY WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR. HE CAN'T HE CAME IN, UM GUNS BLAZING AND SPEND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME MAKING SURE THAT WE WERE PREPARED FOR THIS. AUDIT UM, MENTIONED BEFORE THERE WAS SEVEN FINDINGS, RIGHT? UM I WANTED TO KNOW IS THERE A PERIOD OF TIME AND I MAY HAVE MISSED THIS WHEN I WAS OUT. IS THERE A PERIOD OF TIME TO CORRECT THESE OR IS IT JUST A SNAPSHOT OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO IMPROVE FOR THE NEXT ITEM? OR SO WHAT DO WE GO? THAT'S ACTUALLY GREAT QUESTION. I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE . BUT FORTUNATELY I DO KNOW THE ANSWER. SO YES, THE STATE OF FLORIDA GIVES YOU THREE YEARS TO FIX THIS. SO THAT'S WHY IF YOU LOOK AT EACH FINDING THERE IS A DATE IN FRONT OF IT. THERE'S SO WE'LL HAVE 2021 DACHAU 1 2021 DASH OR TWO. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THAT SO. SO THE STATE GIVES YOU THREE YEARS AND THEN IF IT'S NOT CLEARED WITHIN THAT PERIOD OF TIME. STILL IN THE 2023 REPORT. IF WE HAVE A REPEAT FINDING FROM THIS YEAR, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO GET A LETTER TO MAYOR CLARK AND SHE WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO TALLAHASSEE AS TO WHY THAT'S NOT RESOLVED YET. SO THAT CAN WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT I KNOW MR FLORIO IS GOING TO WORK VERY HARD TO RESOLVE AND YOU HAVE WRITING HAND SOME HELP IN THERE SO THAT ANYBODY THAT IS I'M JUST SAYING IT'S NOT ONLY WRITING YOU MAY BE ASKED TO APPEAR PRESIDENT. YEAH RIGHT. YEAH YEAH, THAT'S AN EXCELLENT POINT. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ZOOM. IT'S YOU MIGHT HAVE TO BE UP TALLAHASSEE TO APPEAR BEFORE BOARD AND I KNOW WE WANT TO AVOID ALL OF THAT. BUT I'M GLAD THAT YOU SHARED ABOUT THE THREE YEAR PERIOD.

BECAUSE THEN YOU KNOW, I'M SURE WE CAN MAYBE GET ALL OF THESE FIXED, YOU KNOW, UM SOONER THAN THREE YEARS, BUT I THINK IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THAT IN THE BACK OF OUR HEAD BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS AGAINST THE DEADLINE FOR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW. SO RIGHT. YEAH. THANK YOU. RIGHT. RIGHT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL FOR A GOOD GOOD, THOROUGH AUDIT. I'M JUST GLAD WE AIN'T IN TROUBLE WITH NOBODY'S MIND. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. ABSOLUTELY. IT IS IF Y'ALL DON'T PUBLIC FACEBOOK, THE VILLAGES NOT IN TROUBLE WITH NOBODY'S MONEY. YOUR TAX DOLLARS. WE GOT SOME CORRECTION. OKAY, MISTER, FULLY. COME ON, MIKE. NOW THE REPORT EVERYTHING ELSE, COUNSELOR. I JUST WANTED TO SAY, UM AGAIN. YOU KNOW WHAT? THE AUTO BEHIND US? UM I'VE WORKED WITH DIFFERENT AUDIT FIRMS IN MY CAREER OVER 25 YEARS, AND I THINK KEITH MCCULLOUGH IS RIGHT AT THE TOP IN TERMS OF THE LEVEL OF DETAIL, THOROUGHNESS, SUPPORT PROFESSIONALISM. UM YOU ALL MADE GREAT SELECTION IN FEBRUARY AND AGAIN. THIS WAS A LITTLE BIT LATE STARTING HERE THIS YEAR, BUT WE GOT IT THROUGH AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU KNOW STEPHEN ISRAEL AND PARTICULARLY MR BARNETT HERE WHO WAS KIND OF MY ACCOMPLICE HERE. MY PARTNER IN CRIME FOR MOST OF US DID A GREAT JOB AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO BUILDING THINGS NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MIKE. YOU HAVE

[01:15:04]

THAT'S GOOD. WE APPRECIATE HIM TO THE OPENNESS WITH EVERY TIME EVERY TIME WE ASK QUESTIONS, WE DID FEEL THAT THEY WERE OPEN TO OUR OUR INQUIRY. SO WE APPRECIATE THAT, LIKE I TELL SOME OF THE SOME OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE HERE TO DO OUR JOB . IF WE HAVE A FINDING WILL REPORT IT, BUT WE'RE ALSO HERE TO ASSIST YOU. SO IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING OF THAT MATTER THAT WE CAN ASSIST. I MEAN, WE'RE ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO YOU ALL AND MANAGEMENT AS WELL.

THANK YOU WERE WILLING SO THAT MADE IT EASIER FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHEN WE LEARNED WE LEARNED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AS WELL, SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU, MIKE. AND MAY I LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING? UM, YOU KNOW WHEN WE STARTED THIS WHEN WE RETAIN THE SERVICES OF KEITH MCCULLOUGH, UH WE WERE AT THE LAST WE WERE. WE WERE AT THE END AND THEY MADE ASSURANCE. WELL WE MADE ASSURANCES THAT WE WOULD GET THIS INFORMATION TO THEM SO THEY COULD GET THE AUDIT TURNED AROUND AND THESE GUYS WERE GREAT. BUT THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE IF WE DIDN'T HAVE MIKE FLORIO HERE, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE CALLED, WE DIDN'T HAVE A FINANCE DIRECTOR AT THAT TIME. AND SO MY CAME IN. I DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS SCARED OR NOT, BUT I THINK THAT HE DID A GREAT JOB. THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO THIS WITHOUT HIM. SO I JUST WANT YOU GUYS FOUND ME TAKING A LITTLE HIATUS. I HAD TO SIGN SOME PAPERS IN AND ONE MORE THING I WANTED TO MENTION AS YOU CONTINUE. UM TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDING. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS ATTACHED THOSE SO IT'S NOT ONLY GETTING THE MONEY IS SPENDING THE MONEY PROPERLY REPORTING THE MONEY PROPERLY ACCOUNTED FOR. THERE'S A LOT OF COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS, SO THAT ADDS UP NOT ONLY TO THE ACCOUNTING COMPONENT BUT ALSO TO THE DOCUMENTATION IN THE VILLAGE.

AND THAT'S I CANNOT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THAT'S RIGHT DROP. BRO YES. THANK YOU, MADAM. I DON'T NUMBER EIGHT. YES I

WAITING TO THE PC, A BOARD AND WAITING TO GO TO THE COUNCIL CORRECT. RIGHT BUT AGAIN THAT THAT NUMBER I GAVE YOU IS FOR MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN ER IS CONSIDERED WHAT MINOR ADMINISTRATIVE MINOR APPLICATIONS FOR RESIDENTIAL WOULD BE 3 TO 25 DWELLING UNITS , AND THAT MEANS THAT STAFF NOT JUST MYSELF.

I KEEP MY OWN PROPERTY UP, BUT I WANTED TO. WHERE DO I GO? BECAUSE I DID COME. TO THE MAYOR. TALK TO HER , AND I WAS TOLD YOU. I TALKED TO YOU ONE TIME, BUT I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE HEARSAY ANYMORE. NOT NOT FROM YOU. THAT'S WHY I STOPPED YOU AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT. BUT I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE HERE SAYING THE COMMUNITY THAT I POSED TO BE PAYING FOR THIS AND THAT AND THAT AND THIS, AND I FEEL LIKE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING THAT WAS ALREADY THERE WHEN IT WHEN YOU WHEN THEY DUG THE HOLE, THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE SURE THAT EVERYBODY WAS ABLE TO GO BACK TO THEIR USE OF THEIR PROPERTY OR WHATEVER. I DON'T MIND, BUT EXPLAIN TO ME WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS BECAUSE OF THE FACT BECAUSE I HAVE AN OPEN LOT. I CAN'T EVEN USE IT. I HAVE TO DRIVE OVER MY GRASS IN ORDER TO USE MY OPEN LINE.
