Proclaiming September 17-23, 2022, as Constitution Week in the Village of Indiantown

[00:10:05]

IN THE WORLD THAT HAD NEVER BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD BEFORE. LIKE THE PURSUIT OF LIFE, LIBERTY AND HAPPINESS, THE IDEA THAT ALL MEN WERE CREATED EQUAL, AND IT'S THIS DOCUMENT THAT GIVES US TO FIRST GENERATION AMERICANS THAT ARE ABLE TO SERVE ON THIS COUNCIL THAT FILLS THIS ROOM WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE. IT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED. DISMISSED OR FORGOTTEN. IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE HAVE. AND AS WE CALL FOR UNITY, THIS IS THE PLACE THAT UNITY BEGAN WHEN WE SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD AND BECAME ONE THIS CONSTITUTION WAS THE COMMON GROUND THAT ALL PEOPLE HAD TO GOVERN THEMSELVES BY AND BY STANDING WITH IT. WE AGAIN CAN BECOME UNITED, ESPECIALLY IN THIS COMMUNITY. I BROUGHT A COPY FOR EACH ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. OF THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

[00:15:08]

YEAH. MM HMM. ITEM NUMBER THREE. TYLER TECHNOLOGIES RP SYSTEM PRESENTATION BY MIKE LESHER OH,

[3.  

Tyler Technologies ERP System Presentation by Mike Lesher

[00:20:06]

AND THIS IS KIND OF WHAT I CAME UP WITH IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE LARGEST MOST USED TERMS SO FROM SMALL CITIES AND LARGE COUNTIES TO SPECIAL DISTRICTS, AUTHORITIES IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS E. R P IS USED TO MANAGE ONGOING FUNCTIONS WITHIN A CENTRALIZED AND INTEGRATED SYSTEM SOLUTIONS CAN CENTRALIZED DATA, SIMPLIFY PROCESSES AND CONNECT YOUR ORGANIZATION GIVING YOU THE MOST COMPLETE INSIGHT INTO TRENDS, PERFORMANCES THAT INCLUDE FULLY INTEGRATED FINANCIALS. WE TALKED ABOUT MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS INTEGRATED WITH HUMAN RESOURCES AND PAYROLL REVENUE, TAX BILLING AND ASSET MANAGEMENT. IT MANAGEMENT AND MORE. SO WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN TO THE VILLAGE? WELL, WHAT THAT MEANS, ESPECIALLY FROM TYLER'S PERSPECTIVE ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE. UM AND I CAN TALK AGAIN. I'LL TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE AS I GO FORWARD, BUT WHAT IT MEANS IS WHEN MOST ENTITIES IN IN THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT AND OTHERS ARE LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS TO THEIR THE TOOLS AND SERVICES THEY PROVIDE. THERE ARE MOSTLY LOOKING FOR ONE VENDOR, SO ER P AND MOST SENSES IS ONE VENDOR ONE SOFTWARE COMPANY THAT YOU GET ALL YOUR SOFTWARE FROM AND IT'S INSTALLED, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

IT'S STILL TRANSPARENT. IT'S INSTALLED ON ONE SYSTEM IT CAN COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER AND ACROSS ALL DEPARTMENTS. UM, TRANSPARENCY. WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR YOU? WELL ELIMINATES DATA AND REDUNDANCY HEIRS. IF YOU USE FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT PIECES OF SOFTWARE, WHETHER THAT BE A

[00:25:01]

IT'S UH, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN. IF YOU LOOK AT THEIR IT'S GOT A MODERN, INTUITIVE USER INTERFACE. EACH USER CAN CREATE THEIR OWN DASHBOARD PROVIDES THE VISUAL ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION THEY NEED RIGHT ON THEIR FINGERTIPS. THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO LOOKING FOR REPORTS GOING AROUND SEARCHING FOR PAPER REPORTS. IT'S ALL THERE. IT'S SEARCHABLE SO THEY CAN GATHER THAT INFORMATION FROM ONE POINT AND ONE SOURCE. AND PULL THAT UP , AND IT'S SECURE CLOUD BASED AMAZON WEB WEB SERVICES E C TWO GOVERNMENT ENCRYPTED, SO IT'S VERY, VERY SECURE. IT'S A SECURITY YOU CAN GET OUT THERE IN THE CLOUD. IT ALLOWS YOUR EMPLOYEES 24 7 ACCESS REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU'RE AT, SO YOU COULD BE WITH YOUR PC OR WITH A IPAD AT DISNEYLAND IN FLORIDA OR IN DISNEYLAND IN PARIS AND STILL GET INFORMATION JUST LIKE YOU'RE SITTING AT YOUR DESK. SO ALLOWS YOU TO DO YOUR WORK. REGARDLESS OF WE ARE ESPECIALLY WITH THE PAST AND COVID. HOPEFULLY THAT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN OR ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE TO THAT. BUT THE SIMPLE FACT WAS A LOT OF MUNICIPALITIES WEREN'T PREPARED TO BE ABLE TO DO THEIR JOBS AND WORK EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT THESE KIND OF TOOLS, SO THAT HELPS WITH THAT. UM A COUPLE OF THINGS , OBVIOUSLY ONLINE APPLICATION SUBMISSIONS, WHETHER THAT BE FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT PERMITTING, OR OTHER DIFFERENT TOOLS INSIDE THE PRODUCT, THE STANDARD WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR CITIZENS AND SOME THINGS ABOUT OUR SYSTEMS I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. WHY THIS IS A FINANCIALLY GOOD THING THAT IT DOES LOWER THE COST. IF YOU'RE UNDER SUPPORT, WHICH 100% OF OUR CLIENTS ARE, UH, EVERY UPGRADE EVERY ENHANCEMENT TO THE PRODUCT, REGARDLESS OF THE MODULE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT DEPARTMENT THE MODULES IN IS INCLUDED. ALL UPGRADES AND SUPPORT IS INCLUDED . SO THE SYSTEM LIKE I SAID, WELL, NOT ONLY GROW WITH THE CAPABILITIES OF THE MODULE ITSELF. BUT AS WE GROW AS A COMPANY, WE HAD NEW MODULES ONE, FOR EXAMPLE, AND I KNOW IT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT HERE. ONE THING WE JUST ADDED TO ONE OF OUR DIVISIONS IS A FOYER. COMPLETE FOYER. UH FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT MANAGEMENT TOOL THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE THAT PROCESS FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END. SO THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE EXAMPLES OF NEW SOFTWARE. NEW THINGS WE'RE ADDING AS A

[00:30:05]

UM AND I THINK THIS IS A PRETTY INTERESTING FACT THAT 40% OF THE PEOPLE THAT WORK AT TYLER WORKED AS AS SOMEBODY INSIDE THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT POSITION, WHETHER THAT BE UTILITY CLERK.

FINANCE DIRECTOR. YOU NAME IT, SO WE ATTAIN OUR TALENT FROM UM , ENTITIES LIKE THIS, AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT, TOO. SO WE KNOW WHAT YOU DO. 98% PLUS OF OUR CLIENT THAT WE HAD OVER THE YEARS HAVE STAYED WITH US, UM AND ACTUALLY, 45% OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE BEEN USING TYLER FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS. I THINK WHAT THAT SAYS IS, IF YOU PROVIDE GOOD SOFTWARE AND GREAT SUPPORT, AND YOU DON'T GIVE PEOPLE A REASON TO CHANGE WHAT IS AGAIN IT'S A GOOD REASON WHY ONCE YOU MAKE THAT INITIAL INVESTMENT, YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN. WHETHER IT BE FIVE YEARS OR 10 YEARS FROM NOW, AND TYLER BEING THE LEADER IN THIS INDUSTRY, WITH THE ABILITY THAT WE HAVE TO SUPPORT OUR CUSTOMERS KEEPS YOU FROM HAVING TO LOOK AT ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES GOING FORWARD. SOME OF THE CLIENTS THAT WE'VE BROUGHT ON RECENTLY, IN FACT THAT IT WAS DOWN HERE FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS INDIAN TRAIL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT WITHIN AN HOUR AND A HALF OR SO, UM, LOVE TOWN OF LAKE PARK FOR JUST ADDED TO TYLER TECHNOLOGIES , MORE OR LESS FOR THE SAME REASONS THAT THAT I'M HERE TALKING TO THE VILLAGE. THEY'VE GOT FOUR OR 56 MINIMUM VENDORS OF DIFFERENT SOFTWARE TOOLS ARE DOING THINGS MANUALLY. AND THEY CAN EFFECTIVELY BE DOING THAT ANYMORE. AND SO THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE REASONS WHY TYLER HAS BEEN SELECTED AT THESE WITH THAT BEING SAID. WILLING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU'VE GOT AND WHETHER THEY BE NOW OR LATER. FANTASTIC THANK YOU, SIR. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? WHAT'S WHAT'S THE THERE ARE MONTHLY COST OF THIS OR UM, I'VE GOT THE CONTRACT HERE. I COULD PULL IT UP AND BRING THAT UP OR TALK TO YOU ABOUT LATER. BUT YEAH, THERE THERE. THERE'S NOT REALLY A MONTHLY COST. THERE'S AN IMPLEMENTATION CHARGE. THAT'S A ONE TIME FEE. AND THEN THE SETH SET UP AT THE SAS AND ALL THAT'S INCLUDED IN THAT FIRST YEAR COST OF TRAINING, AND THEN THERE'S A RENEWABLE YEAR YEARLY RENEWABLE . WHAT WE CALL OUR SASS FEE, WHICH INCLUDES, LIKE I SAY THE SUPPORT AND ALL UPGRADES FOR THE PERIOD OF THREE YEARS. AND THEN AT THAT TIME, WHETHER IT'S AT THAT TIME OR EVEN PRIOR TO THAT YOU CAN RENEW FOR ADDITIONAL YEARS, SO THAT WOULD CONTINUE, BUT THAT ONE TIME FEE OF TRAINING AND IMPLEMENTATION DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. UNLESS YOU'RE ADDING NEW PRODUCTS LIKE I TALKED ABOUT THE FOYER PRODUCT THAT'S NOT ON THE CONTRACT NOW, BUT IF IN SIX MONTHS YOU DECIDED TO ADD THAT THAT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE, AND THERE'S ALSO THE YEARLY SUPPORT FOR THAT, THAT YOU WOULD ADD TO THAT ADDITIONAL, UH, SASS FEE. BUT THAT CAN BE DONE AT ANY TIME.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU, MR MIKE. UM YOU DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE FUTURES, UM, THAT E. R P WOULD HAVE WITH US. I KNOW I HAD REQUESTED OR ASKED THE STAFF IN REGARDS OF LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT A MOBILE APP SO LIKE THE EVERYDAY PERSON, UM , A RESIDENT. THEY HAVE, LIKE A COMPLAINT. WE, YOU KNOW, WE GET A LOT OF CODE ENFORCEMENT COMPLAINTS, AND IT'S EASIER JUST TO GO INTO THE APP. AND HOW IS THAT I DIDN'T SEE ANY FUNCTIONS IN YOUR PRESENTATION, SO I DIDN'T BRING THAT UP. BUT IT IS ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS YOU HAVE CHOSEN. SO THERE'S AT LEAST ONE OR TWO DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS YOU CAN USE TO DO THAT. UM CITIZENS SELF SERVED. THERE'S ALSO ONE CALLED MY CIVIC, SO I MEAN, I CAN SHOW YOU SOME EXAMPLES OF IT AFTER IF YOU LIKE. YOU'RE BASICALLY ON YOUR CELL PHONE. YOU CAN GO TO THAT SITE. PEOPLE CAN HAVE THAT AS ONE OF THEIR APPS. YOU CAN RENT OR RESERVE A PARK BENCH. YOU CAN PUT IN A BID NOTIFICATIONS LIKE TREES DOWN OR SOMETHING'S HAPPENED OR LIGHTS OUT OR STOP SIGNS DOWN AND ACTUALLY BE EMAILED BACK. FOLLOW THAT. REQUEST OF INFORMATION UNTIL IT'S BEEN COMPLETED. SO THOSE THOSE APPS ARE ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT YOU'VE GOT, OKAY? I THINK WE HAVE DEMO THAT TO THE STAFF MORE THAN ONE TIME. YES WHAT WE BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, AS A SEE A DEMO. I CAN PROVIDE A DEMO TO YOU.

ABSOLUTELY AND ANY OF THE OTHER MODULES THAT THAT MIGHT BE THE COUNCIL MEMBERS OR SO FORTH HAVE NOT SEEN WE CAN. WE CAN DO THAT. AND ADDITIONALLY TO THAT, UM, CAN YOU TELL US SINCE WHEN OUR STAFF HAS BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THE R P, WE'VE BEEN TALKING . I THINK I MENTIONED UP FRONT.

I THINK THE CONVERSATIONS I STARTED HAVING WITH WE'RE BACK IN. AND PROBABLY SOMETIME MID TO 2020 OKAY WITH FUNDING ISSUES OR OTHER THINGS. I MEAN, IT'S NOT ALWAYS SEPTEMBER 2022. SO, LIKE , I'M JUST WANT THE RESIDENTS TO KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, THINGS IN GOVERNMENT IS A LITTLE SLOW. SO UM, FINANCIAL WE ALL HAVE TO GET EVERYTHING TOGETHER. SO THIS HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS SINCE 2020.

BUT THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT. AND THANK YOU. I HOPE TO GET THAT MOBILE APP SOON. IS

Mobility Plan Workshop and Update - NUE Concepts

AND. ARE YOU ABLE TO PULL UP MY POWER POINT PRESENTATION. OR DO I NEED TO PULL UP ON MY SCREEN? GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UM, WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT AN OVERVIEW OF THE LORD'S MANY TOWNS, MOBILITY PLANNING MOBILITY FEE. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE, UM EARLY 2021. AND IT'S REALLY A PLAN OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS OR SO HOW? WE'RE GONNA MOVE PEOPLE IN AND AROUND THE VILLAGE VENUE. SEE THANK YOU. PLANET SELF IDENTIFY AS A NUMBER OF MULTIMODAL PROJECTS, INCLUDING, UM SIDEWALKS, BIKE LANES, MULTI USE PASS, UM, AND NEW ROADWAYS. TO PROVIDE MOBILITY TO THE RESIDENTS OF BUSINESSES IN THE COMMUNITY. AND THE PLAN ITSELF TURNS UP AS THE BASIS FOR WHAT'S KNOWN AS A MOBILITY FEE, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S PAID BY NEW DEVELOPMENT. TO MITIGATE ITS IMPACT TO THE TRANSPORTATION.

IT'S NOT AN EXISTING, IT'S NOT A TAX ON EXISTING RESIDENTS. IT'S NOT A FEE PAID BY EXISTING RESIDENTS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE PAID ONLY BY NEW DEVELOPMENT. NEXT FIVE, PLEASE.

TO SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF THE MOBILITY PLANNING. THE MOBILITY FEE. UM IDENTIFYING FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE VILLAGE. ALLOWS THE VILLAGE TO BE ELIGIBLE TO PURSUE FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDS. UM IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH PRIVATE ENTITIES. TO ADVANCE IN FRONT AND INFRASTRUCTURE AS THEY'RE DEVELOPING IN THE FORM OF PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS. AND THERE'S WAYS THAT THE VILLAGE CAN OFFER SOME FORM OF CREDIT. FOR THESE NEW DEVELOPMENTS TO ADVANCE THOSE PROJECTS. UM IT CAN ALSO SERVE AS A PLEDGE. TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR INFRASTRUCTURE, BANK LOANS AND REPAYMENT OF THOSE LOANS TO ADVANCE MULTI MODEL IMPROVEMENTS. I'M ABILITY FEES FREQUENTLY SERVE AS A LOCAL MATCH. FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FOR STATE, FEDERAL AND COUNTY PROJECTS TO ADVANCE THOSE UM OFTENTIMES ARE IMPROVEMENTS MADE BY UTILITY HOLDERS AND THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES TO ADD INSIDE WALKS, BIKE LANES OR RESURFACE STREETS AS PART OF UTILITY UPGRADES. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO OPPORTUNITIES AS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION COMES IN, OR THE COUNTY COMES IN TO MAKE ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS WHILE ROADS ARE BEING RESURFACED. NEXT FIVE, PLEASE. UM INDIAN TOWN WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST COMMUNITY IN FLORIDA TO UNDERTAKE THE MOBILITY PLANNING MOBILITY FEE. IN FACT, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE THAT HAVE EITHER ALREADY ADOPTED A PLAN AND A FEE. OR THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING SO. WHERE DO THEY GO? FROM MIAMI BEACH UP TO ST AUGUSTINE, OR EVEN ALL THE WAY OUT IN THE PANHANDLE TO WALTON COUNTY AND OKALOOSA COUNTY COMMUNITIES ACROSS FLORIDA ARE LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT WAYS TO PLAN FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES TRAVEL AND DIFFERENT WAYS FOR DEVELOPMENT TO MITIGATE ITS IMPACT. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AND SO THERE ARE MULTIPLE STEPS THAT GO INTO DEVELOPING A MOBILITY PLANNING MOBILITY FEE. THE VILLAGERS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS ALREADY INCLUDED LANGUAGE. THAT THE VILLAGE WILL. AT THE HOP. THE FEE WILL CONSIDER ADOPTING A FEE ANVIL DOT DEVELOP A MOBILITY PLAN. UM, FOR FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS. AND SO OVER THE LAST YEAR, WE HAVE ALREADY HAD WORKSHOPS WITH THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE COORDINATED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, AND TALLAHASSEE IS REVIEWED THESE PLANS. AND THERE'S ALSO BEEN MEETINGS WITH MARTIN COUNTY, SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF STEPS 23 AND FOUR NOW. HELPING A DRAFT PLAN OF 50. AND IN IMPLEMENTING ORDINANCE.

[00:40:09]

RIDE, TRANSIT OR DRIVE AND GETS AWAY FROM THE OVERLY REGULATORY APPROACH. TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY. AND IN TERMS PLACE YOU CONCURRENCY IS A SYSTEM THAT'S IN PLACE TODAY WITHIN THE VILLAGE. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AND SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ELEMENTS THAT DEVELOPING MOBILITY PLAN. UM YOU KNOW, EQUITY FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ENHANCING ACCESSIBILITY TO WORK TO PLACES OF WORSHIP TO RESTAURANTS TO TRANSIT. UM AND RIGHT DEVELOPING THE SYSTEM THAT'S COMFORTABLE FOR ALL MODES OF TRAVEL AND ESTABLISHING STANDARDS. FOR THE COMMUNITY TO MEASURE ITS PROGRESS OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS , NOT ONLY FOR VEHICLES BUT ALSO FOR PEOPLE WALKING BICYCLING. AND ACCESSING TRANS NEXT SLIDE. LET'S GO TO PLAN GOES BEYOND JUST FOCUS ON ROADWAYS, AND IT LOOKS AT PEOPLE WALKING, BIKING USING OTHER MODES OF TRAVEL. IN EACH ONE OF THOSE MODES TRAVELS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. AND SO WHEN THERE IS A SYSTEM IN PLACE, WHICH IS TRANSPORTATION, CONCURRENCY IT'S ONLY FOCUSED ON MOVING CARS. AND IT'S FOCUSING ON MOVING THEM QUICKLY. UM FROM POINT A TO POINT B. IT'S NOT FOCUSED ON PEOPLE WRITING, UM, A BICYCLE ON THE STREET, WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK OR TRYING TO ACCESS TRANSIT MOBILITY PLAN AND SIZE ALL MODES OF TRAVEL. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE TYPES OF WHAT'S KNOWN AS OFF STREET FACILITY. THESE ARE FACILITIES THAT ARE NOT WITHIN THE ROADWAY THEMSELVES. BUT THEY CAN INCLUDE A BIKE WAY THAT SEPARATED FROM CARS. UM A PATH FOR GOLF CARTS FOR SCOOTERS OR BICYCLES. AND THEN WHAT? WHAT'S MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS SIDEWALKS OR SHARED USE, PATHS OR EVEN WATER, WIDER FACILITIES SUCH AS MULTI USE TRAILS. NEXT SLIDE. AND SO THE PLAN ALSO INCLUDES, UM A NUMBER OF FUTURE CORRIDORS. THAT IF DEVELOPMENT OCCURS AND IF DEVELOPMENTS APPROVED. IT PROVIDES A GUIDANCE FOR HOW THOSE ROADWAYS SHOULD BE BUILT, AS OPPOSED TO JUST A TWO LANE ROADWAY WITH NO SIDEWALKS, NO BIKE LANES. IDENTIFYING DIFFERENT TYPES OF INFRASTRUCTURE. THAT WILL BE BUILT AS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. AND THE RED PAVEMENT MARKINGS THERE FOR GOLF CARTS FOR BIKES. THOSE ARRIVED THERE FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES JUST TO HIGHLIGHT THE MODE. I'M IN REALITY THAT LANE ITSELF WOULD NOT BE A BRIGHT RED WHERE THERE WERE TO BE CONSTRUCTED. NEXT FIVE, PLEASE. WOW. SO WE'VE LOOKED PART OF WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED AS THE MOBILITY PLANNING MOBILITY FEE. IS LOOKING TO NOT ONLY REPLACED TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY BUT POTENTIALLY REPLACE. THE ROAD IMPACT FEE THAT MARTIN COUNTY CURRENTLY ASSESSES WITHIN THE VILLAGE. SO THE VILLAGE ITSELF DOES NOT HAVE AN IMPACT FEE

[00:45:07]

IN THOSE AREAS, BOTH WITHIN THE VILLAGE TODAY OR SHOULD THEY ANNEX INTO THE VILLAGE SOMETIME OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS? THESE DARK CORRIDORS THAT BE BUILT BY NEW DEVELOPMENT. UM TO THE LEFT , YOU'LL SEE A COUPLE OF CORRIDORS THAT ACTUALLY HAVE RED LINES THROUGH THEM. AND WE HAVE GONE OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. WE SOUGHT FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY. UM, A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS, UM 50 PLUS AT THIS TIME. RATHER CONTACTED MYSELF DIRECTLY SHOWED UP WITH THE WORKSHOP OR SEND EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE. ASKING THAT IMPROVEMENTS TO FERNWOOD FOREST ROADWAY BE REMOVED. AND ALSO ASKING FOR THE EXTENSION OF WHAT SURROUNDS OAK STREET. OVER TO, UM, FAMILY ROAD ALSO BE REMOVED. AND SO WE HAVE ACTUALLY REMOVE THOSE PROJECTS FROM THE MOBILITY PLAN. UM, THERE HAS BEEN NO SUPPORT FROM THE RESIDENTS FOR THOSE, AND WE'VE ACTUALLY LOOKED AT A PROJECT TO THE NORTH THAT WE THINK MAY MAKE MORE SENSE. UM PARALLEL TO FARM STREET, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BE AN EXTENSION OF CITRUS BOULEVARD. AND REALLY LEAVE THE RESIDENTS IN THAT COMMUNITY, UM ALONE THAT THEY HAVE STATED THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE A SIDEWALK. THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE A THROUGH ROADWAY IN THEIR COMMUNITY. UM, THEY'VE BEEN YEAH, VERY POLITE IN DOING SO, BUT THEY'VE SPENT ANOTHER COURSE NUMBER OF CORRESPONDENCE. A NUMBER OF EMAILS REQUESTING THAT AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THAT PROJECT BE REMOVED FROM THE PLAN. AND THEN THERE WERE A COUPLE OF OTHER PROJECTS AND BASED ON THEIR ALIGNMENTS THAT WERE EITHER CLOSE TO, UM CONSERVATION AREAS OR CLOSE TO THE AIRFIELD THAT WE'VE HAD FEEDBACK THAT THEY'VE BEEN ASKED TO MOVE OR BE REMOVED, AND SO WE HAVE REMOVED THOSE CORRIDORS AND THEN WE'VE ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL FUTURE RAILWAYS. IN THE FUTURE ROLE WAS LARGELY WOULD BE THE BUILT IF NEW DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AND AS I INDICATED BEFORE, THIS IS A PLANET'S LOOKING OUT TO 2045 SORT OF LOOKING. 23 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE. UM. BESIDES WAR FILLED BOULEVARD. THERE ARE NO IMPROVEMENTS WHATSOEVER, IDENTIFIED FOR THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. OR ANYWHERE WITHIN INDIAN TOWN ALL THE WAY UP FROM MARTIN HIGHWAY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO CANTER HIGHWAY. UM, NONE OF THESE CORRIDORS IDENTIFIED IN ANY PLANS. SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, UM AS THE GENTLEMAN RIGHT BEFORE ME SPOKE ABOUT THE NEED FOR THE VILLAGE TO UPGRADE ITS PLANNING AND PERMIT AND I'M CODING FORCE MINT SYSTEMS, THE VILLAGE IS POISED FOR GROWTH OVER THE NEXT 20 PLUS YEARS. YOU KNOW. ULTIMATELY APPROVAL OF THAT GROWTH WOULD BE DEPENDENT UPON VOTES OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. BUT IF IT WERE TO OCCUR CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO ROADWAY PLANS OR NO FUTURE PLANS TO GUIDE HEART DEVELOPMENT WOULD OCCUR, AND INDIAN TOWN HAS A

[00:50:06]

YOU HAVEN'T GROWN OR SPRAWLED LIKE A LOT OF OTHER PORTIONS OF FLORIDA. AND SO YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE IN A FEE IN PLACE BEFORE DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. AND TO ENSURE THAT DEVELOPMENT IS NOT JUST A BUNCH OF UM, CALLED THE SACK SUBDIVISIONS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE TO DRIVE FIVE OR SIX MILES JUST TO GET OUT OF THEIR COMMUNITY TO GO TO THE MAIN ROADWAY, BUT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE AN INTERCONNECTED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. MR ROTUNDA, WHO'S ON THE CALL WITH MYSELF AND I ARE WORKING FOR A COMMUNITY IN SEMINOLE COUNTY, UM, CALLED A VETO, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH IS JUST THAT THEY HAVE SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE APPROVED IN THE SEVENTIES AND EIGHTIES. THAT ARE CALLED THE SACKS AND PEOPLE LITERALLY HAVE TO DRIVE SIX AND SEVEN MILES. TO VISIT THEIR NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET BECAUSE THERE'S NO CONNECTIVITY. AND SO WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO PROVIDE THE VILLAGE WITH AN OPPORTUNITY.

TO PLAN AND I AND I DO CAVEAT IT. YOU AS A VILLAGE COUNCIL ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR CONFERENCE OF PLAN YOUR CONTROL OF ANNEXATION IN THE FUTURE, YOUR CONTROL OF LAND USE APPROVALS. SO NONE OF THESE WOULD SAY LAND USE IS GOING TO OCCUR. BUT IF IT WERE TO APPROVE IF IT WERE TO ANNEX THIS IS A TYPE OF SYSTEM AND PLANNING THAT YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT HIS COMMUNITY AND ALSO SHARING THIS WITH MARTIN COUNTY. SO IF DEVELOPMENT DOES COME IN WITH HIM, MARTIN COUNTY UM THAT IS COORDINATED SPECIFICALLY. AND JUST FOR ANY MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY THAT AREN'T AWARE. THE COUNTY IS IN THE PROCESS OF APPROVING A LARGE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT. ON CITRUS BOULEVARD. EAST OF OR WEST OF, I 95 AND JUST TO THE EAST OF THE VILLAGE. AND THAT'S GONNA BE OUR LAST I HEARD IS ROUGHLY 4000 HOMES AND A COUPLE 100,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL AND OFFICE SPACE. SO THERE IS GROWTH COMING TO THE COMMUNITY. WEST OF 95. THIS IS REALLY THE OPPORTUNITY FOR INDIAN TOWN TO MAKE SURE IT'S PLANNED FOR THAT. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. IN ADDITION, WE'VE LOOKED AT INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAGE. UM AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, MARTIN COUNTY COLLECTS FEES FROM NEW DEVELOPMENT. UM WITHIN THE VILLAGE TODAY, AND THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEND THAT MONEY ANYWHERE. WEST OF I 95 WITHIN THE COUNTY THEY WANT UM, THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PLANS FOR INTERSECTIONS. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PLANS TO ROADWAYS IN THAT AREA. DO NOT HAVE ANY PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. FOR THAT AREA, YET THEY'RE COLLECTING MONEY FROM NEW DEVELOPMENT AND AS NEW DEVELOPMENT OCCURS, THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO COLLECT MONEY , SO WE'VE IDENTIFIED SEVERAL INTERSECTIONS THAT ARE ON COUNTY ROAD. ALWAYS. THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT FOR FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO THAT IS SORT OF THE PLANNING THE MOBILITY PLANNING ITSELF. AND THEN NOW WE'RE GONNA GET A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO THE ACTUAL FEE PAID BY NEW DEVELOPMENT. NEXT SLIDE. HOW MANY MORE SLIDES? I THINK AUTHORITIES? YES. YEP. JONATHANT MORE SLIDES? DO YOU HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD HERE QUICKLY, JUST TO GET IT TO THE DECISION POINTS HERE. WE'RE ALMOST WRAPPED UP.

OKAY, GREAT. SOME MOBILITY FEES AGAIN, THEY'RE AWAY FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT TO PAY FOR ITS IMPACT. THEY'RE NOT ATTACKS AND THEY'RE NOT A SUCCESS ON EXISTING HOMES, AND THEY ARE AN OPPORTUNITY TO FUND MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION NEXT SIDE. UM SO RIGHT. THESE ARE THREE MAIN OPTIONS FOR THE VILLAGE TO CONSIDER, AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT AT THIS JUNCTION RIGHT NOW. UM, ONE IS TO INCLUDE COUNTY PROJECTS ON THE MOBILITY PLANS. AND OR ADOPT A MOBILITY FEE AT 100% OF THE COST. AND THIS WOULD REPLACE MARTIN COUNTY'S ROAD IMPACT FEE.

UM THIS IS APPROACH THAT'S BEEN TAKEN BY PALM BEACH GARDENS TO THE SOUTH. UM IN PALM BEACH COUNTY, AND ESSENTIALLY, THE GARDENS PLAN INCLUDES COUNTY PROJECTS IN THERE. AND THEY'RE COLLECTING 100% OF THE MONEY. THE COUNTY IS NOT COLLECTING A FEE WITHIN THE CITY. UM NOW THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING DISPUTED, AND THEY'RE CURRENTLY IN A LAWSUIT AT THIS TOUGH TIME RIGHT NOW OVER THAT VERY ISSUE. ANOTHER OPTION IS TO NEGOTIATE A PERCENTAGE SHARE OF THE FEES

[00:55:05]

DOES THIS COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? AND ALL THIS IS INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE SO WE CAN UM, GET IT AND GO THROUGH IT. AND DIGESTED IT AT AT OUR LEISURE. YES, HOWEVER. WE'D LIKE FOR THE COUNCIL TO, UH THINK ABOUT HAVING A DISCUSSION ITEM ON THIS. MAYBE AT OUR NEXT MEETING OCTOBER 13TH. OKAY? DISCUSSION DISCUSSION. EVERYBODY AGREE WITH THAT DISCUSSION ITEM.

YES. YEAH. SEEMED TO BE IN AGREEMENT. YES. THANK YOU, SIR. APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THANKS, JONATHAN. APPRECIATE IT. MOVING ON TO ITEM

REMEMBER I THINK LAST MEETING I ASKED IF UM , THE OTHER STREETS THAT, UM, IN THE DRAINAGE PROJECT TO PARK THEY'RE PUTTING IN THE PIPE, BUT THEN THEY'RE COVERING IT UP.

WILL THAT BE COVERED WITH LIKE ASPHALT AS WELL? OR IS IT GOING TO STAY LIKE THAT COVERED WITH STONE? IF YOU RECALL WHEN IT CAME BEFORE YOU IT WAS PROBABLY LIKE ANOTHER $1000 PER DRIVEWAY TO GO TO ASPHALT. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ROADS. THE ROADS HAVE BEEN PAVED. YES OKAY. ALL THE ROADS. THERE ARE SECTIONS OF THE ROAD WHERE THEY DID WHERE THEY DISTURB THE ROAD. ON MARTIN LUTHER KING. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THAT'S ALL BRAND NEW. WHAT WE DID WAS WE BUILD THAT AND THEN REPAVED IT BECAUSE THE ROAD WAS IN SOME ROUGH SHAPE SO ONCE THEY DID THE DRAINAGE AS PART OF THE PLANNING PROCESS AND MADE SENSE TO REPAIR THE ROAD. SO IT WAS MILLED. AND THEN IT WAS REPAVED. BUT NO, WE'RE NOT GONNA IF THEY WERE TO IF WE WERE TO REPAVE ALL OF BOOKER PARK. WOULD PROBABLY BE A MILLION BILLION AND A HALF. SO WHAT YOU SEE, PAVED AS MOST OF WHAT'S GOING TO BE PAVED, SO LIKE IF I HAVEN'T GOTTEN OVER THERE, BUT I KNOW DOWN HERE THERE WAS LIKE A GAS LEAK AND IT WASN'T PAID. BUT THEN I JUST SAW LIKE YESTERDAY. THANK YOU, JEFFERSON. YES THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SUPERMAN FORCE MAIN HAD BEEN LEAKING. SO WE

[01:05:04]

CORRECT THE DRINKING WATER, BUT THERE'S TWO SEPARATE PLANS AND THE WASTE WATERS WHERE WE GOT THE 18 MILLION. YES, CORRECT. CORRECT. THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER PLAN THAT WE NEED FOR THE DRINKING WATER. YOU HAVE THE $12.5 MILLION FOR THE DRINKING WATER. THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PLANT. YOU STILL HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES. WE APPLIED FOR SOME INFRASTRUCTURE WORK. WE DIDN'T GET THAT FUNDING . WE'RE GOING TO REAPPLY THE NEXT ROUND. OKAY ALSO LOOKING AT OTHER WAYS TO ADDRESS THESE THINGS. WELL I WANTED TO SEE IF STAFF CAN HAVE LIKE A LIST OR SOMETHING. IT'S JUST BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS TALKING TO SENATOR HERRO ABOUT WAS ABOUT , UM, OUR LEGISLATIVE ITEMS AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SHE DID TELL ME THAT WASN'T NEW SENATE PRESIDENT. ONE OF HER PRIORITIES IS WATER SO PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, HAVE HAVING A LIST OF THINGS THAT WE NEED, UM IN REGARDS OF THE WATER PART BECAUSE WATER IS ESSENTIAL, AND I THINK THE RESIDENTS AND THE FORMER COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE STAFF FOR BECAUSE, UM YOU KNOW I WOULD BUY THE WATER SYSTEM WAS WAS A GREAT THING. COMMUNITY IT WAS AND YOU DO HAVE A POINT. THAT'S WHAT THE MASTER PLANS ARE. THE MASTER PLANTS DELINEATE WHAT THE ISSUES ARE WHAT WE NEED TO ATTRACT ATTACK SO WE CAN ALWAYS PASS THAT ON. OKAY THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU. HMM. THANK YOU.

OKAY WE COME TO THE END OF OUR PROCLAMATIONS, AWARDS AND SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS. WE NOW MOVE INTO OUR PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION UM. PUBLIC COMMENT. IS YOUR INVITED UP FOR THREE

[PUBLIC COMMENT (3 MINUTES EACH)]

THE TOWN COUNTDOWN CLOCK IS ON THE WALL ON YOUR LEFT, AND YOU CAN HEAR THE BUZZER WHEN YOU'RE ALLOCATED. TIME IS UP. AND I WOULD LIKE TO JUST HIGHLIGHT DURING THE EXTRAORDINARY TIME OF COVID. WE ALLOWED LETTERS TO BE READ INTO THE RECORD. WE ARE NOT REQUIRED BY LAW TO DO THIS. THIS WAS DONE AS A COURTESY. SINCE WE ARE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING UNDER AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE THAT THIS COURTESY OF READING LETTERS INTO THE RECORD AT A MEETING, UM COME TO THE END CORRESPONDENTS THAT WE GET ARE AVAILABLE AT THE PUBLIC'S REQUEST. SO I FEEL THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE. THAT THAT COURTESY COME TO AN END. SO MY QUESTION IS THIS HIS COUNSEL AND

[01:10:04]

BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN YOU STEP UP TO THAT MIC TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND SPEAK UP PUBLICLY, THEN IT'S NOT A NORMAL FUNCTION TO DO THAT AND IN EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES. UM I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT ANY FURTHER. SO DO WE HAVE ANY PERSONS IN ATTENDANCE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? YES, MADAM MAYOR. FIRST SPEAKER IS SPEAKER IS LINDEN ICOM, FOLLOWED BY ANTHONY'S WEINER.

FOR THE RECORD. THE LONDON EYE COME. UM I THOUGHT, UM, BE ISSUE OF THE RECOGNITION WAS GOING TO BE LATER ON, BUT I'LL GIVE MY TWO CENTS WORTH ANYWAY. UM AND I WILL REMAIN IT TWO CENTS DUE TO INFLATION. I WANT TO KEEP THAT UNDER CONTROL. I'M OPPOSED TO MANAGEMENT. OR THE COUNCIL SETTING UP PROCLAMATION DAYS. IT WOULD BE TOO EASY TO CREATE PROBLEMS AND HURT FEELINGS DOWN THE ROAD. IF THERE NEEDS TO BE A DAY OF RECOGNITION. THEN IT SHOULD BE FOR THE PIONEERS OF INDIAN TOWN. WE CAN INCORPORATE THE FOUNDING FAMILIES INCORPORATE EAR'S AND ELECTED PERSONS WHO HAVE SAID ON THE COUNCIL. A CITIZENS COMMITTEE COULD TAKE NOMINATIONS AND MAKE THE DECISION. PIONEERS SHOULD BE ADDED BY PROCLAMATION AND PERHAPS CELEBRATED IN AN ANNUAL PIONEER DAY GATHERING IN THE VILLAGE. WALL COULD BE DEDICATED. TWO FOR PICTURES OF THESE PIONEERS. AND THIS WOULD END UP BEING A LONG LASTING TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO HELPED SHAPE US INTO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE CAN BE PROUD OF. UM MHM BYE. HONORING EVERYBODY AND NOT A SLUG FEW. I THINK WE WILL. BE ABLE TO AVOID SOME OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. JUST KEEP IT NICE, NEAT AND CLEAN AND GET OUR CITIZENS INVOLVED. TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF THE OFF YOUR TABLE FREE GUYS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR NEWCOMBE. NEXT SPEAKER IS TONY EAST WHINER. NOT THAT ONE, FOLLOWED BY CAROLYN PARKER. AH GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR'S COUNCIL MEMBERS STAFF. ONCE AGAIN TONIGHT. I'M STANDING HERE BEFORE YOU WITH A CALL TO TRANSPARENCY AND INTEGRITY. I TRULY WANT TO STAND HERE. WITH A POSITIVE MESSAGE ONE DAY SO PLEASE TAKE WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY WITH IT AS AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION OVER THE BIGGER PART OF THE LAST FOUR YEARS, I'VE HEARD SOME AT THESE MEETINGS START WITH THE READING OF THE PROTOCOL ENACTED BY OUR COUNCIL NAMED CIVILITY, WHICH CONTAINS THE GUIDELINES FOR SUCH I UNDERSTAND IF I DO NOT FOLLOW THESE UH, THOSE WITH THIS I AM AT VERY LEAST SUBJECT TO REPRIMAND UP TO REMOVAL BY THE DEPUTY SHERIFF. THIS IS ACTUALLY A GOOD RULE. SADLY, THOUGH, OVER THE YEARS I'VE HEARD MOST OF OUR COUNCIL VIOLATED SOME MORE THAN ONCE. ONE OF OUR MEETINGS ARE RIGHT AT THE LAST MEETING. WE HEARD OUR COUNCIL PERSON HEATEDLY GO OFF TALK TOPIC BE CALLED BACK IN LINE BY THE PRESIDING MAYOR. ONLY TO BE IGNORED AND INCREASE THE VOLUME AGAIN. A SECOND TIME BEING TOLD YOU'RE DONE, THE COUNCIL PERSON WENT INTO A BIT OF A TIRADE. TELLING THE PRESIDING MARY NO, I AM NOT AND CONTINUING EVEN MORE LOUDLY, AND HE REALLY ABOUT TO TALK. THIS COUNCIL PERSON WAS TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT A VIOLATION OF REGULATION. THAT THIS COUNCIL PUT IN PLACE A GOOD RULE, TOO, BY THE WAY FOR TRANSPARENCY. MY POINT YOU THE COUNCIL CANNOT OPERATE ON THE IDEA. THAT IS GOOD FOR THE BUT NOT ME. OR IF YOU WISH. DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO. YOU MUST SELF POLICE. IF YOU ARE TO RETAIN THE RESPECT OF THE PUBLIC, THERE NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST A LETTER OF REPRIMAND. A SLAP ON THE WRIST IS ALSO TO SAY OTHERWISE. THIS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW. PLEASE TRY TO REMEMBER THAT IS NOT JUST THOSE SITTING HERE.

[01:15:01]

[13.  

Planning, Zoning, & Appeal Board (PZAB) Appointments and Qualifications

YOU KNOW AND REWIND THE COUNCIL MEETING AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTOOD. I DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE CLEAR BURBAGE, THE COUNCILMAN. I WAS DONE AHEAD PRESENTED. SO I WANTED TO BRING IT BACK UP. I SAID I REALIZED LATER I WAS WRONG WHEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO I WOULD WANT TO POINT TO THIS IMPORTANT BOARD. I FOUND OUT EVERY HARD TO APPOINT TO FIND PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY LIVE WITHIN THE VILLAGE BOUNDARIES WHO HAVE THE BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE NEEDED TO MAKE GOOD

[01:45:01]

ABSOLUTELY. YES, THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE, OKAY? SO YOUR MOTION IS FOR THE FIVE APPOINTEES. CAN BE RESIDENTS OR NONRESIDENTS. CORRECT OKAY, SO THAT'S THE APPOINTEES NOMINEES AT LARGE.

WOULD BE THE SAME WAY APPOINTEES . NO I FEEL THAT IF I'M GOING TO PUT SOMEBODY LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT'S GOING TO BE HER PEGGY SHELTER PRP CONSTRUCTION. SHE HAS KNOWLEDGE . YOU KNOW, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO BRING HER TO REPRESENT ME ON THE BOARD. OKAY SO THE NOMINEES AT LARGE? WE'RE TALKING THE SAME. AS APPOINTEES. THEY CAN BE EITHER RESIDENTS OR NONRESIDENTS . YES ACROSS THE BOARD. WHAT I'M HEARING IS YOU SAY ALL SEVEN. CAN BE OKAY. NOW. THEN THE THIRD THING THAT WAS JUST STATED WAS THE. CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR MUST BE RESIDENTS. YES, WE CAN KEEP.

THEY HAVE TO BE RESIDENTS IN ORDER TO BE A CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR. YES. OKAY? OKAY? I THINK THAT'S CLEAR. EVERYBODY GOT THAT ONE. OKAY? OKAY SO COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. WELL, THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. SO SURE MOTION. YES. I'M SORRY. OKAY. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND IT, OKAY? WE HAVE EMOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND. WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. MADAM AMERICAN. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. I WOULD LIKE TO ASKED COUNCILWOMAN PEREZ SPECIFICALLY WHAT SHE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND OF THAT MOTION, BUT SURETY STATED IT. I HAVE BEEN REALLY BUSY COMPILING INFORMATION REGARDS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS AND HOW THEY HAVE THEIR PC. A BOARD BEFORE I GO ON WITH MY FACTS, I WOULD LIKE EITHER MISS JEFFERSON OR MR ATTORNEY TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS A PLANNING ZONING APPEALS BOARD, SO THE PUBLIC HAS A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THIS IMPORTANT BOARD. JUST JUST A MINUTE. READ THAT. READ THE AHEAD. GO AHEAD. WAIT. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO READ IT. DEFINITION WITH THAT. YEAH. I DON'T NEED TO LOOK UP THE DEFINITION. SO THE PLANNING ZONING APPEALS BOARD HAS A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT POWERS . SOME OF THEM ARE ADVISORY.

SOME OF THEM THEY ARE THE FINAL DECISION MAKERS, OKAY? EVEN IN THEIR ADVISORY CAPACITY. THEIR ROLE IS VERY IMPORTANT THEY SERVE AS THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY. THEY ARE THE BODY THAT ALL LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS HAVE TO GO TO FIRST FOR RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL FOR FINAL DECISION. YOU ALL DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT THEY MUST GO TO THEM FIRST TO GET THROWN OUT IN COURT, ACTUALLY, IF IT DOESN'T GO TO THEM FIRST. UM SO THEY LOOK AT IT FIRST AND MAKE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS. UM A LARGE NUMBER OF PLANNING PROJECTS WITHIN THE CURRENT SETUP OF YOUR LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS HAVE TO GO TO THE BABY FOR REVIEW AND SOME FOR APPROVAL.

FINAL APPROVAL, OTHERS FOR RECOMMENDATION TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. FINALLY THEY MAKE, UM, DECISIONS ON APPEALS FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE DIRECTOR. BASICALLY TO IF, UH, THE DEPARTMENT HAD MAKES A DECISION ON A PARTICULAR THING A DEVELOPER OR PROPERTY OWNER WOULD HAVE. YOU CAN APPEAL THAT DECISION TO THE P C. A. B P C. AP CAN OVERTURN THAT DECISION.

SO THOSE ARE THE BASIC POWERS AND ROLES OF THE PCF. THANK YOU, MR ATTORNEY, SO I'M GOING TO CONTINUE WITH EVERYTHING I FOUND SO CITY OF ARCADIA. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD SHALL BE CITIZENS OF THE CITY AND SHAH HOLD NO ELECTED CITY OFFICIAL. THEY HAVE SEVEN MEMBER BOARD THREE YEAR TERMS, AND THEY SAY SHALL BE CITIZENS OF THE CITY. SANTA BELL, FLORIDA ALL MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION SHALL BE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY AND SHALL NOT BE SALARIED OFFICIALS OF THE

[01:50:01]

ONE SCHOOL BOARD REPRESENTATIVE , NONVOTING. AT LEAST THREE OF FIVE REGULAR MEMBERS AND ONE OF THE ALL TOURNAMENT MEMBERS SHALL BE QUALIFIED ELECTORS AND PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE CITY . YOU HAVE CITY OF PORT ST LUCIE , UH, THE MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD SHALL HAVE BEEN RESIDENTS OF THE CITY FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR PRIOR TO THEIR APPOINTMENT. YOU HAVE INDIAN RIVER SHORES, FLORIDA, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 4241. EACH MEMBER MUST BE A PERMANENT RESIDENT OF THE TOWN. YOU HAVE SARASOTA'S FLORIDA YOU HAVE 54,842 POPULATION AND IT SAYS MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING BOARD SHALL BE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SCHOOL BOARD APPOINTEE, YOU HAVE TECH. CUESTA, FLORIDA APPROXIMATELY 6102. AND IT SAYS ONE SHALL RESIDE IN THE VILLAGE OF QUALIFIED ELECTOR OF THE VILLAGE TO SHALL NOT SURVIVE THE VILLAGE COUNCILOR OR ON ANY OTHER VILLAGE BORDER COMMITTEE. THREE SHALL NOT BE EMPLOYED BY THE VILLAGE OR ANY OF ITS CONTRACTORS. AND AN EVENT THERE IS A LACK OF QUALIFIED ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS NEEDED TO SET ASIDE THE REQUIREMENTS AS STATED THE VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKING THROUGH THE VILLAGE MANAGER SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO RECRUIT AND APPOINT QUALIFIED MEMBERS AND THE VACANT SEATS FROM ANY OF THE AREA OF VILLAGE OF QUESTION. WE HAVE CITY OF PORT ST LOUIS FOUR PIERS, YOU HAVE APPROXIMATELY A 45,815 55 POPULATION. AND IT'S STATES THAT THE BOARD CONSISTS OF SEVEN MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN RESIDENTS OF THE CITY FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. EACH MEMBER SERVES A TWO YEAR TERM. YOU HAVE OLDSMAR, FLORIDA 14,898 POPULATION. ALL MEMBERS MUST BE ELECTORS OF THE CITY. YOU HAVE CORAL SPRINGS. FIVE MEMBERS. APPLICANTS MUST BE CITY OF CITY RESIDENTS IN POPULATION IS 133,370. YOU HAVE HELLA DOPE BEACH 41,217 ALL APPOINTEES MUST PROVE PROOF OF RESIDENCY UNLESS THE APPOINTMENT IS EXEMPT FROM THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT YOU HAVE TREASURE ISLAND, FLORIDA. 6910 POPULATION. THE MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD SHALL BE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY. WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE LEARNED. THESE ARE THE ITEMS I WANT TO POINT OUT. WE HAVE WILLING RESIDENTS, FOR EXAMPLE, MISS MILEY AND MISS PALMER THAT WANT TO SERVE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE APPOINT HER DIDN'T GET REELECTED . WHY SHOULD WE NOT GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY? IF WE OPEN THE QUALIFICATION FOR ALL FIVE COUNCIL APPOINTEE OR COUNCIL MEMBER APPOINTEES, WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING TWO ADDITIONAL BOARD MEMBERS WITH THE SAME QUALIFICATIONS? LET ME BE CLEAR . I'M OPEN TO HAVING TWO MEMBERS BEING FROM THE BUSINESS SECTOR. THEY BRING SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO THE TABLE AND MY RESEARCH. I FOUND THAT MOST BOARD BOARDS ARE COMPOSED OF RESIDENTS. THE CONCERN I HAVE IS THAT THE EVERYDAY RESIDENT DOESN'T KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS BOARD IS TO THIS COMMUNITY. THIS BOARD DICTATES THE FUTURE OF OUR COMMUNITY. AT THE END OF THE DAY US. THE RESIDENTS WILL BE LIVING WITH THE DECISIONS THAT THIS BOARD DOES. THE ONES THAT WILL BE AFFECTED IS US IF WE OPEN THE QUALIFICATIONS TO NONRESIDENTS TO ALL THE BOARD, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT A JOHN DOE FROM MIAMI OR BETTER YET A DEVELOPER? BE PUT ON THIS BOARD AND BE ABLE TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. THEY COME INTO THIS COMMUNITY DEVELOP AND LEAVE AND GUESS WHO LIVES WITH THE REPERCUSSIONS US. THE RESIDENTS. I ASKED THIS BOARD TO LEAVE THE P C. A BOARD, AS IS BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE FIVE RESIDENTS AND WE HAD TO BUSINESS OWNERS, WHICH I COMMANDED MR DANIELS THE HEIGHT BECAUSE HE DOES A GREAT JOB, UM BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND TO STAND AS IT IS. THANK YOU. YEAH. YEAH YEAH, EVERYBODY ELSE YES. I THINK THAT YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD BE A RESIDENT OR A BUSINESS OWNER.

THEY HAVE SKIN IN THE GAME. EMPLOY PEOPLE. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, YOU'RE SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY. AND I THINK THE BUSINESS OWNERS HAVE THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY. IN MIND. YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY INTELLIGENT AND ON BUSINESSES IN THIS COMMUNITY, I

[01:55:06]

BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LIVE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES. BUT HE HAS BUSINESS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES AND IS PROBABLY HELPED MOST PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM AT SOME TIME OR ANOTHER. TO NOT UTILIZED THAT TALENT. SO I'M GOING TO SAY THAT IF YOU LIVE OR HAVE A BUSINESS IN THE VILLAGE THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE ON THAT BOARD THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU, SIR. SMEAR STONE. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. UM, FIRST OF ALL, THE WAY THE. STRUCTURE OF THE BOARD IS YOU CAN HAVE BUSINESS OWNERS RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN HAVE TWO LARGE BUSINESS OR NON BUSINESS. SO IF WE LEAVE IT AS IS, YOU CAN STILL HAVE A BUSINESS OWNER. ALSO MADAM MAYOR IF I MAY ASK UH AS OF LATE, WE'VE BEEN ALLOWED AND ALLOWING THE RESIDENTS TO VOICE THEIR OPINION FIRST, BEFORE WE EVEN MAKE A MOTION. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT THE RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO SAY ABOUT THIS, AND WE'RE GETTING TO THAT BEFORE I COMPLETE MY COMMENTS. YOU HAVE YOUR COMMENTS. THEN WE GO TO THEIR COMMENTS. THEN WE VOTE IF THEY HAVE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY, CAN SWAY THIS COUNCIL'S VOTE BY BY THEIR COMMENTS. ABSOLUTELY. SO YOU'RE DONE. NO, I'M NOT DONE.

THEN MOVE RIGHT AHEAD. QUESTION I THOUGHT LAST MEETING. YOU OPEN IT UP WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE RESIDENTS BEFORE WE EVEN MAKE A MOTION? ABSOLUTELY AND THIS TIME WE'RE GOING BACK TO WHAT WE WERE BECAUSE BECAUSE THE LAST MEETING IF YOU NOTICED, AND I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS APPROPRIATE, BUT I'M GOING TO LET YOU KNOW. THE LAST MEETING. PEOPLE WERE STILL COMING UP AFTERWARDS. AFTER THEY HEAR US TALK. THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND. THEY GET A NEW PERSPECTIVE OF OUR OPINION, THEN THEY WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT. I GET IT. AND IF WE HAVE NOT VOTED YET, THEM BEING ABLE TO COMMENT AFTER THEY'VE HEARD US AND WHAT'S GOING ON, AND THEY DO COMMENT. ONCE IT DOES COME TO A VOTE, THEN THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SWAY. WHAT HOW WE VOTE BY THEIR COMMENTS. WE DON'T VOTE AND THEN LISTEN TO HIM. OKAY SO ARE YOU DONE? I'M NOT. CAN YOU PLEASE FINISH UP SO WE CAN GET TO PUBLIC COMMENTS. COUNCILMAN WOMAN, UH PEREZ. IF I MAY ASK, WHAT IS THE QUALIFICATION OR WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER AS THE QUALIFICATION FOR A PERSON TO SERVE ON THIS BOARD? SOMEONE WHO HAVE KNOWLEDGE LIKE I TOLD YOU LIKE PEGGY. SHELTER SHE HAS CONSTRUCTION KNOWLEDGE. I'M NOT SAYING THAT SHE'S GOING TO BE ON THE BOARD, BUT SHE LIVES. IT DOESN'T LIVE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. YOU KNOW WHAT IF I YOU KNOW, I ASKED HER. HEY, PEGGY. YOU DO YOU WANT TO BE MY POINTY FROM THE PEACE? A BOARD? I WANT TO GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HER. SHE HAS KNOWLEDGE IN THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS, AND SHE SUPPORTS INDIAN TOWN. OKAY? OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, OKAY. UM. I APPRECIATE I APPRECIATE THE THEATRICS, BUT THE FACTS ARE, I'M SURE I COULD COME UP WITH AS MANY OF THOSE CITIES THAT ALLOW WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING. YOU KNOW SOME VILLAGES, SOME CITIES. SOME TOWNS REQUIRE THAT YOU MEAN THE MINISTER. IT REQUIRES THAT YOUR MANAGER HAS TO BE A RESIDENT. WE DON'T REQUIRE THAT BUT SOME CITIES DO EACH MUNICIPALITY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOLD AND TO CREATE WHAT FITS FOR THEM. OKAY AND EACH COUNCIL MEMBER HAS IN AND THEY DON'T THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE. WE DON'T HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO EACH OTHER. WE HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE. IN OUR THOUGHT PROCESS AND WHAT WE REQUIRE OF WHO WE ARE GOING TO PUT IN THAT SEAT.

UM SO. MADAM CLERK. THANK YOU. WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. YES, WE DO. WE HAVE SEVERAL FIRST SPEAKER IS LAURA HERNANDEZ FOLLOWED BY HEIDI DOVE. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS LAURA HERNANDEZ. WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS. THE LAST MEETING, AND I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED BECAUSE I GAVE MY OPINION AS A RESIDENT. UM THIS IS KIND OF WEIRD, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, YOU ASK THERE AND THEN, JUST LIKE YOU'RE IN SCHOOL. IT'S THE SAME WAY YOU

[02:00:01]

NOT PEOPLE WITH BUSINESSES HERE . THEY HAVE A 9 TO 5. THEY LEAVE AFTER THAT. THEY DON'T LIVE IN ANY IN TOWN. THEY DON'T SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. AFTER WE DO WE LIVE HERE. THEY LIVE AND THEN OR THEY CAN SELL THEIR BUSINESSES AND THEY MOVE ON. BUT WE DECIDED TO LIVE HERE. THIS IS OUR HOME.

THIS IS WHERE OUR FAMILY IS. THIS IS WHERE OUR CULTURE IS. SOME OF US HAVE OUR FAMILIES.

VERY HERE IMPORTANT, MY UNCLE. WE'RE NEVER GOING TO LEAVE HERE BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE WE ARE.

THIS IS WHERE WE LIVE. SO HAVING A BUSINESS PERSON, THE MAJORITY ON THE BOARD THAT'S GOING TO ONLY BENEFIT FOR THEMSELVES. THEY'RE GOING TO PUT THEIR OPINION OF WHAT THEY WANT FOR THEIR BUSINESS. THEY'RE NOT GONNA PUT THEIR OPINION TO WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS, BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE THE STRUGGLE. THEY ONLY WORK HERE. HOW THEIR BUSINESS MAKE THE PROFITS AND THAT'S IT. SO IT'S NOT RIGHT TO HAVE THE MAJORITY BUSINESS OWNERS THAT DON'T EVEN LIVE HERE. UM ALSO SORRY. I HAD. ALSO HAVING PEOPLE THAT WEREN'T INCORPORATED OUTSIDE THE OUTSKIRTS OF INDIAN TOWN THEY CHOSE. I SAID THIS THE LAST MEETING. I WILL SAY IT AGAIN. I WILL CONTINUE SAYING IT. THEY CHOSE TO NOT BE INCORPORATED TO THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. SO WHY SHOULD THEY HAVE THE CHOICE THAT THEY WANT TO BE ON THIS COMMITTEE. THEY CHOSE THAT SINCE THE BEGINNING, AND IF THEY CHOSE THAT THEY'RE STUCK WITH THAT. BECAUSE THEY WANTED THAT THEY DIDN'T THINK THAT VILLAGE OF ANY TIME WAS GOING TO SUCCEED. SO THAT'S UP TO THEM. THAT'S WHAT THEY CHOSE. THUS, THE VILLAGE CHOSE AND WE LIVE HERE. SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPEAK OUR VOICE AND BE LISTENED. TWO. SO WE SHOULD BE IN THIS COMMITTEE. WE, THE PEOPLE THAT THE RESIDENTS OF THE INDIAN TOWN SHOULD BE ON THIS COMMITTEE IF THEY HAVE A BUSINESS AND THEY LIVE HERE. OKAY THAT'S ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE THEY SEE THE STRUGGLES EVERY DAY, DAY AND NIGHT. 24 7. UM, ALSO. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I HAVE LEFT. BUT THERE'S A MOVIE CALLED THE LORAX, A STORY FROM DR SEUSS. WHERE. LORAX. THE LORAX GOES AND HE SAYS, I'M HERE FOR THE TREES.

I'M ALMOST DONE. IT'S JUST AND THE ONES THAT COMES AND HE BREAKS. HE CUTS DOWN ALL THE TREES AND THE LORAX SAYS I'M I'M HERE. I SPEAK FOR THE TREES. I SPEAK FOR THE TREES. THANK YOU.

OKAY. THANK YOU. MADAM CLERK. YES NEXT SPEAKER IS HEIDI DOVE FILE, FOLLOWED BY LINDA IVORY.

GOOD EVENING, HEIDI DEL FOR THE RECORD. UM UM I DO AGREE TO AN EXTENT THAT A BUSINESS OWNER WITH EXPERIENCE CAN SIT ON HIS BOARD. BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AND WE DO WANT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS BECAUSE THEY DO KNOW BUT WHAT? AS I WAS SITTING BACK THERE AND I WAS HEARING THE EXPLANATIONS AND SAYING THAT. PEOPLE IN THE IN THE VILLAGE WITHIN THE VILLAGE ARE NOT QUALIFIED. UM THAT KIND OF DID SOMETHING TO ME? BECAUSE MY QUESTION I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY HAVE YOU AXED. HOW DO YOU HAVE YOU REALLY WENT INTO THE COMMUNITY AND ACTS WHO IS QUALIFIED TO DO THIS? AND WE ALSO WANT TO EDUCATE OUR RESIDENTS ON THIS MATTER. SO WE USE THOSE BUSINESS OWNERS TO EDUCATE OUR RESIDENTS ON THIS MATTER. I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU GAVE FACTS BECAUSE IT'S GOOD TO KNOW WHAT OUR SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES ARE DOING IN THEIR PARTICULAR VILLAGES. YES WE CAN MOLD IT TO THE WAY WE WANT TO. BUT KEEP YOUR RESIDENTS AND MINE . KEEP THEM FIRST KEEP THEM INVOLVED. IF IT'S THREE PEOPLE, FOUR PEOPLE, FIVE PEOPLE ON THIS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S OUR RESIDENTS THAT HAVE THE BIGGEST VOICE IN THIS BUT THE KEY TO THAT, AS BEING AN EDUCATOR IS TO EDUCATE THEM. SO THAT THEY KNOW THE DECISIONS THAT THEY ARE MAKING. WE DON'T WANT TO JUST GIVE IT TO BUSINESS OWNERS AND ANOTHER QUESTION. ARE

[02:05:02]

IT'S GOOD. AND CHANGING IT. IT'S GOING TO BE A MESS. AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT I GOTTA SAY.

THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER IS RENITA PRESSLER. FOLLOWED BY EARNESTINE PALMER. FOR THE RECORD. MY NAME IS RONNY TO PRESSLER AND I'M A 30 YEAR RESIDENT. WHEN I SAW THE PZ, A BOARD APPOINTMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THIS ITEM WAS VOTED ON AT THE LAST MEETING. TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE PROPOSED WOULD TAKE A RESIDENCE OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. AND PUT DEVELOPERS AND COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AGENTS WHO ARE HERE TONIGHT TO COLLECT THEIR DUE. IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I DO NOT THINK THERE IS SUFFICIENT REASON FOR A DO OVER. BUT SINCE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT, LET'S TALK ABOUT IT. WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO DO IS TIGHTEN UP THE RULES CHAPTER 11.5. THEY'RE WAY TOO LOOSE DEVELOPERS ANYONE INVOLVED IN DEVELOPING OR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE NEEDS TO BE EXCLUDED. THEY ARE NOT A BUSINESS OWNER IN MARTIN COUNTY. THEY ARE NOT A BUSINESS OWNER WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. BEFORE I REFER TO CHAPTER 11 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT RULES . I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT WHY SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO SERVE ON A BOARD THAT TAKES A LOT OF TIME. REQUIRES A LOT OF READING. AND OUTSIDE TRAINING AND ATTENDANCE OF CONFERENCES AND THAT SORT OF THING. IF THE PERSON IS A RESIDENT WITH NO FINANCIAL INTEREST. IT'S BECAUSE THEY CARE ABOUT WHERE THEY LIVE. IF THEY ARE A BUSINESS, IT'S LESS CLEAR FOR THOSE IN THE BUSINESS OF DEVELOPMENT OR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE. THEY ARE HERE FOR ONLY ONE REASON. BECAUSE IT AFFECTS THEIR POCKETBOOK. MORE PROPERTIES. THEY'RE INVOLVED IN THE MORE CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS THAT ARE RAISED THE MORE PARTNERS THEY HAVE WITH EACH OTHER, AND A LOT OF THOSE PARTNERS ARE HERE TONIGHT. THE MORE COMPLICATED AND YOU CAN'T KEEP TRACK OF THEIR CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IN FACT, YOU'RE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THEM ADMITTING TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY OR BRINGING IT UP THAT OH, I HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN THIS. THAT AND THE OTHER THING, AND THEN IT GETS MORE COMPLICATED WHEN THEY SHIELD IT WITH THE TRUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO'S IN THE TRUST WHO'S THE BENEFICIARY OF THE TRUST? I HAVE BEEN ON THE PC, A BOARD SINCE IT STARTED CHAPTER 11. OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT RULES GOVERNS THE PLANNING ZONING APPEALS BOARD, IT SAYS. MEMBERS

[02:10:05]

[02:15:08]

HER UM WAS WAS USED AS AN EXAMPLE. IT CALLS INTO MIND A WHOLE FIELD OF TALENT. LET ME BACK UP. INDIAN TOWN IS, UH, STILL THINK NUMBER 413, THE NEWEST MUNICIPALITY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA WERE DIFFERENT THAN EVERY OTHER MUNICIPALITY. I HEARD THE LIST WERE DIFFERENT THAN EVERY ONE OF THOSE, AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT AT DRAWING THE LINE AND ALL OF THE RESIDENTS THAT THAT OF INDIAN TOWN YOU CAN'T SAY. I MEAN, LOOK AT THE FAMILY THAT'S BEEN HERE LONGER THAN ANY THAT I CAN THINK OF, AS OR IN A VERY FEW THAT HAVE P O. BOX NUMBER ONE. THEY LIVE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LINE. AND I WOULDN'T DARE EVEN HAVE THE THOUGHT THAT THAT FAMILY ISN'T INDIAN TOWN RESIDENTS. IT'S AT THE VERY HEART AND SOUL AND AT THEIR CORE. UM. WITH REGARD TO REPRESENTING THE RESIDENTS. YOU KNOW, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU ARE RESIDENTS AND ARE ELECTED BY THE RESIDENTS IN THIS FAR FETCHED NOTIONS OF BRINGING CRAZY PEOPLE FROM MIAMI OR WHEREVER IT IS. I TRUST YOU. I MAY NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH WITH YOU ON EVERYTHING, BUT I TRUST THAT YOUR DECISION YOU HAVE TO. YOU HAVE TO FACE INDIAN TOWN. YOU HAVE TO FACE THIS CROWD AND STAND WITH YOUR REPRESENTATIVE. AND I KNOW IN MY HEART, EACH OF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR INDIAN TOWN, SO WHETHER IT'S SOMEBODY THAT LIVES IN IN SPRING HAVEN OR OR LITTLE RANCH OR ANYWHERE SURROUNDING OR A BUSINESS OWNER. SOMEBODY A STAKEHOLDER AND I'LL CLOSE WITH ONE THAT COMES TO MIND. AND IT WAS A GUY NAMED BILL HANNA. AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO BILL HANNA WAS, I WOULD ASK YOU TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND RESEARCH BILL HANNA. HE'S HE'S PASSED. BILL HANNA DID MORE FOR INDIAN TOWN. HE'S IN THE TOP 10 OF PEOPLE I KNOW AND I GREW UP HERE. AND HE WORE IT ON HIS SLEEVE. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE INDIAN TOWN EDUCATION FOUNDATION COALITION, AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHEN COGEN CAME TO TOWN, AND IT'S LIKE, HOW CAN WE WORK TOGETHER AND HE WAS THERE TO CREATE THE FUND THAT SUPPORTED INDIAN TOWN AND HE WAS LEADING THE CHARGE. INDIAN TOWN INDIAN TOWN INDIAN TOWN. HE LIVED IT AND BREATHED IT, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HE NEVER DID. HE NEVER LIVED HERE ONE DAY IN HIS LIFE. HE LIVED IN PORT SALERNO. HE WORKED IN INDIA, AND HE WORKED FOR A BUSINESS HERE THAT THAT WAS THAT WAS DEEPLY VESTED IN AN INDIAN TOWN. AND SO WHEN I HEAR ALL THIS CRAZY TALK, I TRUST YOUR DECISION TO PICK GOOD , COMPETENT, MOST QUALIFIED PEOPLE THAT ARE THE BEST FOR INDIAN TOWN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER IS CAROLYN PARKER, FOLLOWED BY ANNA FARIS. CAROLYN PARKER. AS A 65 YEAR RESIDENT OF BOOK A PARK. NO I DO NOT WANT TO DEVELOP A COMING IN HERE RUNNING OUR COMMUNITY.

I AM A RESIDENT OF INDIAN TOWN STARTED MOVED FROM PORT SAINT LUCIE. THANK YOU FOR THE DATA, IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE THE SURROUNDING US AND I DON'T WANT TO ECHO A LOT OF THE COMMENTS. I DO AGREE WITH IT, BUT I ALSO THINK THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT SOMEONE IN THE SEAT IS BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE THE TIME. WHAT'S GOOD IS THAT MAKE WE HAD TWO PEOPLE THAT LEFT THE BOARD. FOR WHAT REASON? WHY DID HE HAVE THE TIME? SO IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE PLAYING IN THE COURT THE WAY YOU NEED TO DON'T BE IN IT. SIT ON THE BENCH OR BE LIKE ONE OF US THAT WE LISTEN. WE VOICE OUR OPINIONS WHEN WE CAN AND THANK YOU FOR READING THAT I DO AGREE THAT SOMETIMES IT'S BEST IF WE HAVE SOMETHING TO READ, OR MAYBE SOME OTHER PEOPLE CAN PUT THINGS IN BETTER WORDING THAT IS WELL UNDERSTOOD. BUT PUT PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO PUT THE TIME. THAT LIVE HERE AND CARE. BUT PUT THE TIME BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE YOU LIVE HERE JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE DRIVING OUR ROADS DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU, YOU MEAN WELL FOR THE TOWN. THIS TOWN HAS BEEN THE WAY IT'S BEEN FOR SO LONG. MAYBE WE JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT OF HELP FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE LIVED. SOMEWHERE ELSE. I'M NOT BORN AND RAISED. I SEEN IT. I SEEN MANY THINGS THAT HAVE GONE WRONG.

FOR EVERYBODY, AND IT'S FOR ONE PERSON. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT CONCERNS ME. SO WE HAVE WE HAVE A MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND . IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO, MADAM MAYOR. WHEN YOU BUDGET YOUR BUDGET TO WHAT PREVIOUSLY, MR FLORIO, I WANTED TO KNOW HOW YOU BUDGETED BECAUSE USUALLY YOU KNOW, BUDGETS ARE UNDER OR OVER . YOU DON'T REALLY IT'S NOT LIKE A TARGET LINE, BUT EDUCATION IS A MUST FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. UM AND. I SEE IT EVERYWHERE ACTUALLY WAS TALKING TO OTHER CITY OFFICIALS FROM OTHER CITIES YESTERDAY ABOUT YOU KNOW, TRAVEL AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE. YOU KNOW, TRYING TO KEEP THIS COUNCIL IN A BUBBLE IS NOT OKAY, BECAUSE HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY WITH THINGS LIKE, COME UP. OUR COMMUNITY EXPECTS US TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE TO KNOW OUR STUFF TO BE LIKE. HEY, OH, WHAT? WHAT? SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY. DO YOU KNOW THAT? DO YOU DO YOU KNOW THAT? UM REMEMBER PEREZ? NO, SHE'S GONNA LEARN THAT WHEN SHE GOES TO F L C EVENTS. SO THIS IS WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET THIS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, STAFF IS SO BUSY. MR FLORIO IS STUCK IN HIS . HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO EDUCATE US ABOUT HOW OFTEN YOU KNOW, UH, STAFF DIRECTORS. THEY HAVE TO GET KNOWLEDGE. EVERY AS AS THE MORE EDUCATION YOU HAVE, THE MORE AH! THE MORE KNOWLEDGE YOU NEED, AND YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO GO. REFRESH YOURSELF. YES IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE IT'S AN EXPENDITURE AT THE END OF THE DAY. WHERE THE BRAND FOR THE VILLAGE OPINION. TELL WE REPRESENT THE VILLAGE OPINION TOWN. WE BRING BACK WHAT WE THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE ESSENTIAL FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND HELP OUR COMMUNITY. IT'S AN WE NEED TO STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS BUBBLE. WE NEED TO START THINKING, YOU KNOW, HOW CAN WE HELP THE MINORITY COMMUNITY? HOW CAN WE HELP THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY? HOW CAN WE DO PARTNERSHIPS BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE SEEN WITH GOVERNOR RHONDA SANCHEZ'S, HE DOES BELIEVE IN PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS. I'M OPEN TO IT. BUT YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU DO THAT? THANK YOU. ADVICE FOR YOUR STUFF. WELL I WANT TO SAY IS, UH , THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR EDUCATIONAL AH! TO BECOME A BETTER LEADER. AND I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR ANY COUNCIL MEMBER THAT WANTS TO GO. I WOULD SAY, GO AHEAD AND PUT YOUR NAME IN THE HAT OR WHATEVER THE CASE IS, BECAUSE THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF US TO BE ABLE TO LEARN SOMETHING TO BRING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY. AND REGARDLESS OF THIS IS VOTED FOR OR AGAINST. I STILL SUPPORT ANYONE'S EDUCATION THAT WANTS TO BE GOING TO THE FLORIDA LEGAL CITY NATIONAL LEGAL CITY.

WHATEVER THE CASE IS, IF THEY'RE GOING TO BRING SOMETHING BACK, THAT'S GOING TO MAKE THIS COMMUNITY BETTER. I'M ALL IN FOR IT. REGARDLESS OF WHO IT IS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY MATT AMERICAN. I JUST MAKE ONE ABSOLUTELY APOLOGIZE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE COMMENT REGARDING BUDGET AND AGAIN. I APOLOGIZE, BUT UM, I THINK THAT THERE WAS SOME SOME DELAYS IN TIMING WITH GETTING SUPPOSE THINGS FRANKLIN, THE GENERAL LEDGER AND SOME SOME OF THE TRAVEL THAT TOOK PLACE IN AUGUST THAT HADN'T YET BEEN RECEIVED AND PROCESSED THAT LED TO THE YOU KNOW, PRELIMINARY BUDGET FIGURE THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, IT WAS REFLECTED IN THE BUDGET FOR THAT LINE ITEM FOR BETWEEN TRAVEL AND TRAINING. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT THAT BELIEVE THE TOTAL COUNCIL BUDGET EXCLUDING PAYROLL IS ABOUT $40,000, WHICH INCLUDES OTHER ITEMS RELATED TO

[02:45:05]

THE QUESTION IS THIS LAST GALLON THAT YOU ALL WENT ON. WHAT DID YOU BRING BACK FROM IT DOWN IN MIAMI? HOW MUCH DID THAT COST TO CITIZENS? AND WHAT DID WE WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM IT? HMM. WHAT DID WE BRING BACK? TWO OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS DON'T EVEN SIT ON THE BOARD ANYMORE. SO THAT WAS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. UM LISTEN, I WAS ELECTED BY 60% OF THE PEOPLE TO COME HERE AND DO A JOB AND I'M GOING TO DO IT AND SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO HEAR THE THINGS THAT BUT THE TRUTH BUT THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH. AND IF WE'RE GOING TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE IF WE'RE GOING TO BE TRANSPARENT, AND WE'RE GONNA BE ACCOUNTABLE, WE HAVE TO HOLD TO THAT BUDGET. THANK YOU. MS KNIFE, YOU'RE WELCOME. FOR THE RECORD LYNDON ICON. UM, IN OUR. WHAT SIX YEARS? FIVE YEARS OF MEETINGS. I'VE NEVER DIRECTED A COMMENT TO AN INDIVIDUAL BUT AS THE COUNCIL AT A WHOLE AS A WHOLE, BUT. MY QUESTION TO YOU, MR STONE. IS YOU? ONLY VOLUNTEERED FOR A ONE COMMITTEE THAT MEETS ONCE A YEAR. UM AND NONE OF THE OTHERS. BUT YET YOU'RE ASKING THAT THE VILLAGE SPEND $3200 TO SEND YOU FOR A CONFERENCE THAT IS A NATIONAL CONFERENCE. BUT YOU'RE NOT INVOLVED WITH ANY OF OUR LOCALS, SO I NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE VALUE IS. IN THIS NATIONAL CONFERENCE OVER WHAT OUR LOCAL BOARDS COULD PROVIDE FOR INDIAN TOWN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE NEXT SPEAKER IS ANNA FOR US. ANNA FARIAS. I WAS LISTENING TO BASICALLY WHAT WAS PRESENTED AND I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED BECAUSE THE BUDGET IS 1000 WISH. AND OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU GET OUT OF THE BOUNDARIES OF A BUDGET WILL THE MONEY HAS TO APPEAR SOMEHOW? IF OF COURSE YOU CAN'T STAY IN A BUBBLE TO LEARN YOU IDEAS AND YOU THINGS THAT ARE OCCURRING THROUGHOUT THE NATION.

[02:50:04]

ESPECIALLY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. SO UM, LEAVING FLORIDA FOR A CONVENTION, FOR INSTANCE, IT'S A LITTLE HARD. TO KIND OF RELATE AND BRING BACK VALUABLE INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY ROLL OUT OR TAKE PLACE . UM AND IN THE PAST HAS BEEN YOU ONLY HAVE $1400 TO WORK WITH . YOU REALLY THINK THAT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THEN YOU HAVE TO SEEK SOMEWHERE ELSE. YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE IT FROM THE FUNDS. THANK YOU. MADAM CLERK. YES MADAM MAYOR. SORRY JUST TYPING.

THE NEXT SPEAKER IS CHAD GREENIES, FOLLOWED BY HEIDI DOVE. UM, MY NAME INTEGRITY FOR THE RECORD, AND YOU KNOW I'M ALL FOR EDUCATION. I'M CURRENTLY IN SCHOOL RIGHT NOW, UM, GOING THROUGH MY EDUCATION DEGREE, BUT THE BUDGET IS THE BUDGET. I'M SORRY. I AGREE. $1400 PER COUNCIL MEMBER. IT IS WHAT IT IS. SORRY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER IS HEIDI DOVE.

HIGHLY DEATH FOR THE RECORD. UM I HAVE ATTENDED CONFERENCES THAT TAXPAYERS HAVE PAID FOR BECAUSE IT'S EDUCATORS. YOU GUYS GIVE TAX BREAKS AND I WOULD HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH BEING IN. UM AND TRAINING OR. WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT AREAS BECAUSE I WAS IN THE TRAINING WITH SOMEBODY FROM INDIANA. I WAS IN THE TRAINING FROM ZAATARI IN GEORGIA. I WAS IN SOME IN THE TRAINING WITH SOMEBODY FROM KENTUCKY. AND GUESS WHAT THOSE AREAS HAVE SIMILAR SITUATIONS OR AREAS THAT. GIVE ME IS LIKE INDIAN TOWN. WE JUST DON'T KNOW IT BECAUSE WE DON'T NO THE AREAS AND EVERY WHICH WAY AND THE MONEY WAS ALREADY SPENT TO PAY FOR IT. AND THEN I KNOW YOU MADE A COMMENT THAT YOU KNOW, THEY WE HAVE TO NO LONGER CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. BUT ANYBODY CAN DIE TODAY OR TOMORROW. THANK THING AND IF THEY DIE TODAY OR TOMORROW, YOU'RE GOING TO SAY WE DIDN'T GAIN ANYTHING FROM IT. I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. SO WE CAN'T SAY THAT EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT. AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE ON A BUDGET. BUT IF I CAN RECALL, WE DON'T HAVE BUDGETS.

AND I KNOW WE'VE APPROVED TRAININGS AND OVERNIGHT THINGS FOR PEOPLE TO ATTEND TO GO TO.

SO IF THIS IS GOING TO EDUCATE YOU SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT DIGITALLY OR LEADERSHIP ONE ON ONE, I CAN THINK OF A LOT OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN BRING BACK THAT WILL BENEFIT THIS COMMUNITY AND BENEFIT INDIVIDUALS AS YOURSELF AND EVERYBODY ELSE. WE JUST HAVE TO BE WILLING TO OPEN UP AND LISTEN. MHM AND FINAL SPEAKER IS ANITA PRESSLER. FOR THE RECORD. WE NEED A PRESSLER.

I'M A RESIDENT. UM I WOULD SUPPORT TRAVEL AND INFECT, ENCOURAGE MORE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD, ESPECIALLY NEWLY ELECTED WHO HAVEN'T HAD TRAINING AND THEY NEED TRAINING AND YOU NEED TRAVEL. UM YOU SOME OF THE COMMENTS? IT SEEMS LIKE YOU THINK THIS IS SOME KIND OF VACATION, BUT IT IS NOT. IN FACT, I'VE HEARD SOME SNARKY COMMENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT IT BEING A VACATION. IN FACT, AH , ANYONE WHO WOULD TAKE AWAY TIME FROM THEIR JOBS FROM THEIR WORK FROM THEIR BUSINESS TO GO AND TRAVEL. I DON'T ENVY THAT AT ALL. I MEAN, I'M THANKFUL THAT ANYONE IS WILLING TO DO IT BECAUSE IT ISN'T FUN. ESPECIALLY FLYING TODAY. HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT GOES ON ON THE PLANES? BUT ANYWAY, UM THANK YOU FOR BEING WILLING TO DO THAT AND WILLING TO TRAVEL AND TAKE THAT TIME FROM YOUR OWN BUSINESS TO DO THAT. THE FINAL SPEAKER, MADAM MAYOR. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY WE HAVE EMOTION AND IT HAS BEEN SECONDED. CAN I GET CLARIFICATION? NO, I'M SORRY. THE $3200 HAS ALREADY BEEN SPENT . IT HAS NOT. REGISTRATION HAS BEEN PAID FOR.

UM WHAT A CDD IS NOT IS REALLY IMPORTANT AS WELL . UM THE DISTRICT WILL NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN WHEN IT COMES TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT ORDINANCES CONCERNING LAND USE DEVELOPMENT.

THE DISTRICT CANNOT DECIDE ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY OTHER THAN WHAT THE VILLAGE HAS IN PLACE IN TERMS OF ITS LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. UM THE DISTRICT CANNOT ASSESS PROPERTY OUTSIDE OF ITS BOUNDARIES. SO THIS ANTICIPATES THAT GROWTH, IN ESSENCE WILL PAY FOR ITSELF. UM AND FINALLY THE OTHER THING IS, IT WILL SPREAD THOSE COSTS OVER TIME, SO THE DISTRICT HAS THE ABILITY TO LEVY ITS ASSESSMENTS AND UTILIZE THE ADVIL ORUM TAX OR THE NON AVALERE, UM, TAX ASSESSMENT METHOD AND COLLECT ITS ASSESSMENTS ON THE ROLE. SO IF YOU SELL YOUR PROPERTY OVER TIME , YOU'RE NOT PAYING YOU, THE EXISTING RESIDENTS WILL PAY FOR THOSE ASSESSMENTS AND NOT ON A LONG TERM BASIS. UM I THINK THE ONLY OTHER ITEM THAT I KNOW THAT WE WANTED TO COVER, TOO IS THAT WHEN THE DISTRICT DOES ISSUE ITS DEBT IT DOESNT PLEDGE. UH THE SECURITY OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN AGAIN. THOSE ASSESSMENTS ARE SECURED BY THE LAND WITHIN THE PROPERTY. UM IN TERMS OF THE BOARD THAT WOULD COMPRISE OF THE DISTRICT AT THE OUTSET. IT IS THE LANDOWNERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND ITS SUCH POINT AS THE DISTRICT IS SIX YEARS IN EXISTENCE AND HAS 250 QUALIFIED

Special Event Permits and Block Parties

[03:05:04]

WE HAVE KNOWLEDGE IN REGARDS OF WHAT'S HAPPENING BECAUSE YEAH, WE DON'T. WE JUST KNOW BECAUSE EVERYONE SHARES ON FACEBOOK, BUT WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH PEOPLE WILL SHOW UP AND YOU KNOW, IT'S YOU CAN'T SAY NO TO THE OUTSIDERS, BUT ARE MY PRIORITY IS HERE THE RESIDENTS, SO THANK YOU. SO THE TWO EVENTS THAT WERE JUST TALKED ABOUT YOU HAVE THE SWAMP HOMECOMING. AND THEN THIS BLOCK PARTY AND THE HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM. YES. ONE WAS PERMITTED. ONE WAS NOT.

UM AND I THINK BACK TO FOUR YEARS AGO. THAT WHEN I WAS MAYOR THEN AND WE WERE AT THE OLD BUILDING. AND VILLAGE MANAGER AND I WERE IN A MEETING TOGETHER. AND WE HAD THE LOCAL SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES COME IN. AND HE, UM HE HAD ON HIS PHONE. ARE YOU GUYS AWARE OF THIS BLOCK PARTY? YEAH. NO WE HAVEN'T. ANY ASKED WAS IT? IS IT PERMITTED YOU GUYS? NO NO, WE DON'T. AND THEY SAID OKAY, WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GO AROUND AND TALK TO WHEREVER SAID YOU'RE GOING TO MEET AT OR WHATEVER. TO NIP IT IN THE BUD BEFORE IT EVER EVEN HAPPENED. AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE WAS THAT INTERVENTION. THERE WAS THAT YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE A PERMIT. YOU KNOW, UM BECAUSE THINGS THERE ARE RULES AND REGULATIONS. THAT THAT DO NEED TO BE FOLLOWED, AND IT'S FOR A REASON. IT'S TO KEEP THINGS SAFE TO KEEP OUR RESIDENTS SAFE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT GOES. AS BEST AS POSSIBLE. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT HAND IN HAND WORKING, MAYBE WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT AND WITH THE OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE THEY THEY'RE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. THAT WE'RE ABLE TO NIP IT IN THE BUD.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU SEE IT, OKAY, WELL, THEN YOU GO AROUND. I DON'T KNOW IF CODE ENFORCEMENT GOES AROUND AND LIKE, YOU KNOW, OKAY. OR WHOEVER YOU KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE PERMITS FOR THIS.

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU YOU GUYS CAN'T DO IT. NIP IT IN THE BUD BEFORE HAND. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. NO THAT'S WHY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT. YEAH BECAUSE FOUR YEARS AGO LIKE I SAID, THEY SAID, OKAY, WE'LL GO AROUND AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO HIM AND YOU KNOW THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR PROPER WHATEVER AND SO IT WAS. IT WAS PROACTIVE, VERY PROACTIVE. THAT'S ABOUT ALL I GOT. ANYBODY ELSE GOT NO GO AHEAD, COUNSELOR. I THINK THIS IS A CONVERSATION WE NEED TO HAVE WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND WITH THE SHARE WAS THERE A CRIMINAL LAWS ON THE BOOKS THAT CAN BE USED TO STOP TO STOP? I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S ANYTHING THAT THAT THIS COUNCIL CAN ADOPT. OTHER THAN FINES. THE PROPERTY OWNERS. THAT IS GOING TO DETERRED. WHEN YOU.

POST SOMETHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU CAN'T CONTROL WHO IS COMING INTO THE AREA AND THIS IS WHEN ALL THE PROBLEMS OCCUR, NOT THE PEOPLE LIVE HERE. PEOPLE COME FROM THE OUTSIDE. SO THERE'S SOME RESPONSIBILITY THERE ON THE PART OF THE PERSON THAT'S POSTING THIS STUFF ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THAT BRINGS A BIG CROWD INTO TOWN. AND THEN THINGS HAPPEN. DOING IT WITHOUT A PERMIT. IT'S NOT A CRIME. IT'S AN ORDINANCE VIOLATION. YEAH, OKAY. BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK BEYOND ORDINANCES. I THINK WE NEED TO SIT DOWN AND LIKE I SAID THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. AND WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, AND MAYBE WE CAN HAVE ANOTHER MEETING. AND BRING THEM IN. AND LET THEM TELL US WHAT THEY CAN DO. ON ON THE CRIMINAL SIDE OF IT. UNFORTUNATELY IN THIS CASE, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY SAYING ANYTHING. I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE ANY SUSPECTS. AND POSSIBLY THEY, ONE OF THEM IS DECEASED. SAD SITUATION. BUT WHEN THE CROWD GETS SO BIG IT'S HARD, EVEN FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW, ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT IN THE COUNTY
