HOWEVER, I THINK RECENT EVENTS HAVE SHOWN THAT THIS IS A THIS DOES HAPPEN IN OUR COMMUNITY AND THESE ARE HARD CONVERSATIONS AND WE NEED TO HAVE THESE HARD CONVERSATIONS.

BUT OUR TAX, THE ANY ENTIRE COMMUNITY, TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE GOING BACK INTO THIS COMMUNITY.
WHY CAN'T WE PUT IT BACK INTO OUR YOUTH AND OUR KIDS? WE'VE ADDRESSED A LOT OF PROBLEMS AROUND HERE AND THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON, BUT I JUST WANTED TO BRING AN AWARENESS ABOUT OUR YOUTH.

THANK YOU. FANTASTIC.OUR NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT IS LINDA IVORY.
LINDA AVERY. MY MAIN REASON FOR COMING UP TO THIS PODIUM BECAUSE THE LAST, UH, VILLAGE MEETING I ATTEND WAS RUDELY INTERRUPTED BY ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND.
IF WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TO INTERRUPT YOU.

THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO THANK STAFF MEMBERS MR. UH. MR PAT IN REGARDS TO THE LIGHTS.
THE LIGHTS IN BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB FINALLY WERE FIXED AND THEN INDIAN MOUND DRIVE WAS FIXED.
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT, FOR KEEPING ON TOP OF THAT.
ADDITIONALLY, I DON'T KNOW IF THE VILLAGE MANAGER FORGOT OR STAFF FORGOT IN REGARDS OF, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE BROUGHT AN ITEM BACK TO THE COUNCIL IN REGARDS OF DEVELOPMENT.
WHEN DEVELOPERS COME TO INDIAN TOWN THEY NEED TO MEET, UM, IT SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT FOR THEM TO MEET WITH RESIDENTS OF INDIAN TOWN, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE MORE AFFECTED.
THIS CAME FROM LIKE THE RIVER OAK TALK.
SO IF WE CAN GET THAT DONE AND PUT THAT IN, OUR ELDERS WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
I KNOW IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS DONE.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT SO THAT IT'S A REQUIREMENT AND PUTTING OUR ELDERS.
UM, AND I JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYONE FOR, FOR BEING HERE.
THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER PEREZ.
GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

UM, AND CONGRATULATIONS, COUNCILWOMAN ON RINGING THE BELL.
I'M ALSO JUST TO ECHO EVERYBODY'S COMMENTS.

SO IT IS GOOD TO SEE A FULL HOUSE.
IT REALLY IS. UM, COMMITTEE REPORTS.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG. COMMENTS BY VILLAGE MAYOR.
[COMMENTS BY VILLAGE MANAGER]
MANAGER. SORRY, I KNEW WHAT YOU MEANT.OKAY. DO WE HAVE A MOTION FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE.
YOU KNOW WHAT CHANGED MY MIND? OKAY. BECAUSE IT JUST DAWNED ON ME TODAY WE WENT TO A JOB FAIR WITH AT RISK, AND WE WERE ABLE TO
[00:25:01]
HIRE TWO INDIVIDUALS ON THE SPOT CONTINGENT ON THEIR BACKGROUND CHECKS COMING THROUGH.SO ONE IS GOING TO UTILITIES TO WORK FOR PAT.
AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS WE'RE GETTING INTO PARKS.
AWESOME. SO IT WAS REALLY COOL THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT RIGHT THERE.
THANK YOU. OKAY, SO DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA AS AMENDED.
[APPROVAL OF AGENDA ]
SO MOVED SECOND.MOVED BY VICE MAYOR STONE, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ.
[CONSENT AGENDA]
DO I HEAR A MOTION? SO MOVED. SO MOVED BY VICE MAYOR STONE.IS THERE A SECOND SECOND SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HERMANA HERNANDEZ AND DIDN'T ASK IF THERE WAS ANY DISCUSSION ON THESE OR PUBLIC COMMENT? ANY DISCUSSION. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ANY OF IT? NO, MADAM. OKAY, THEN.
MOVING ON TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA.
SO, ITEM NUMBER SIX, MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND EVENT.
[6.
Memorial Day Weekend Event Da Swamp Homecoming 2023 Special Events Application.
]THE SWAMP HOMECOMING 2023 SPECIAL EVENTS APPLICATION.UM, I PUT THIS ITEM ON THE AGENDA BECAUSE WE RECEIVED THIS APPLICATION FOR THIS EVENT TITLED SWAMP HOMECOMING 2023. AND THE APPLICATION PROPOSES UTILIZING THE ENTRANCE TO BOOKER PARK AND PARKING AREA FOR THE AND SETUP.
IT ALSO PROPOSES FULL UTILIZATION OF THE BASKETBALL COURTS AND SOME VENDORS ON ALL GRASS AREAS SURROUNDING THE BASKETBALL COURTS AND THE PARKING LOT OF BOOKER OF THE PARK.
THE APPLICATION REFLECTS THE FULL UTILIZATION OF THE MULTI-USE FIELD LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET, A DANCE COMPETITION, SOME SOFTBALL GAMES, A BOUNCE HOUSE AND SOCCER GAME, IN ADDITION TO FULL UTILIZATION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK.
THE APPLICATION WISHES TO PROHIBIT ANY VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ALONG SOUTHWEST 169TH AVENUE, WHICH RUNS PARALLEL TO THE PARK PROPERTY.
THE APPLICATION ALSO INDICATES THAT 1500 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE WITH 30 VENDORS IN ATTENDANCE.
SO WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND OUR STAFF TO TALK THROUGH THIS EVENT AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THE APPLICATION WAS COMPLETELY SATISFYING OUR CONCERNS.
WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT, UM, BEING ABLE TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE ON THOSE OTHER STREETS FROM THIS ACTIVITY NEGATIVELY IMPACTING THEM.
AND SO, UM, I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT THE ELDERS TO SEE WHAT THE PROCESS WAS FOR APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL EVENT.
AND YOUR AND IN DOING THAT TODAY, WHEN I PRINTED IT OUT THE SECTION ABOVE IT, SECTION THREE, DASH 5.6 IS TITLED SALES WITH PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY WITHIN PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.
THE SAFE AND MARKETING, THE SALE AND MARKETING OF MERCHANDISE OR GOODS WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY IS PROHIBITED EXCEPT FOR FRUITS AND OR PLANTS GROWN ON THE OWNER'S PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.
WHEN THE RIGHT OF WAY IS CONTIGUOUS WITH THE OWNER'S PROPERTY AND TRAFFIC IS NOT IMPEDED.
I DIDN'T DISCOVER THAT TILL THIS MORNING.
AND IN THAT THERE'S A REFERENCE TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
AND THEN IT TALKS ABOUT ANY ACTIVITY THAT IS GOING TO OBSTRUCT PARKING.
AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS AN EVENT REQUIRING OFFSITE PARKING, STREET CLOSURES, SOUND AMPLIFICATION OR USE OF VILLAGE PERSONNEL OR PUBLIC PROPERTY.
[00:30:02]
THERE YOU GO. UM, AND THEN.SO THROUGH THIS, WHEN WE MET, I HAD SHARED AN EMAIL TO THE APPLICANT ABOUT THE LACK OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE AND THE DEPUTIES BEING SECURED AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
I DID RECEIVE AN EMAIL TODAY WITH SOME SCREENSHOTS OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN INSURANCE CERTIFICATE, BUT IT'S MADE OUT TO THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN.
IT HAS TO BE A CERTIFICATE FOR THE APPLICANT WITH THE VILLAGE NAMED AS A WHAT'S THE RIGHT TERM? ADDITIONAL INSURED. ADDITIONAL INSURED.
UM, IT ALSO SHOWS WHERE ON THE CERTIFICATE ITSELF, IT SAYS THAT THEIR OWN, THEIR OWN EQUIPMENT OR RENTED EQUIPMENT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS INSURANCE CERTIFICATE.
SO MY CONCERN IS FOR THE VILLAGE.
FROM A LIABILITY STANDPOINT, A BOUNCE HOUSE WOULD NOT BE COVERED.
AND IF SOMEBODY GETS INJURED ON THE VILLAGE PROPERTY, THEN WE'RE WE'RE TAKING THAT ON.
SO I JUST FELT THAT, UM, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES VILLAGE COUNCIL APPROVAL, THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I FELT, UM, NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED.
SO THIS IS ON YOUR AGENDA? I'VE I FELT THE WAY THAT THE APPLICATION CURRENTLY EXISTS AND WITH THE LACK OF INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE THAT WE COULD NOT APPROVE THIS APPLICATION.
UM, I KNOW YOU HAD ASKED FOR SOME COST ESTIMATES ON SOME THINGS.
DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS OR WHAT, WHAT ELSE I CAN DO TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION BECAUSE THIS HAS TO BE ROUTED THROUGH ALL THESE OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND APPROVED.
ONCE IT'S APPROVED, THEN THE SHERIFF WOULD.
SO I JUST AGAIN FELT LIKE THE IMPACT TO THE RESIDENTS.
WE'VE HEARD FROM SOME RESIDENTS, THEY'RE CONCERNED HAVING THIS IMPACT THEM FOR AS LONG OF AN EVENT AS IT IS AND THEN THAT THE PARK WOULD BE TOTALLY, UM, UTILIZED AND WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
I UNDERSTAND THAT'S NOT BOOKER PARK, BUT IT'S MORE EASILY CONTAINABLE FOR AN EVENT FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND AND TO BE ABLE TO REALLY KEEP IT IN A CONCENTRATED AREA.
UM, SO THOSE WERE KIND OF MY THOUGHTS ON THIS.
YEAH. TALKING ABOUT BOUNCE HOUSES, WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION LAST YEAR.
WE DID. AND THE END RESULT OF THAT DISCUSSION WAS THE END RESULT WAS THE ADVICE I GAVE IS WE NEED TO HAVE INSURANCE THAT WOULD COVER THE BOUNCE HOUSE.
BUT BASED ON THE SCREENSHOTS OF THE INFORMATION THAT WAS SENT ON, IT APPEARS TO SPECIFICALLY SAY THAT IT DOESN'T COVER RENTED ITEMS, WHICH WOULD BE A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES WAS INSURANCE THAT WOULD COVER THE BOUNCE HOUSE FOR THE VILLAGE.
OKAY. THANK YOU. AND MORE GENERALLY TO INSURANCE BECAUSE OF THIS NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON AS WELL.
WE NEED TO SEE THE ACTUAL CERTIFICATES OF INSURANCE, CORRECT.
AND I UNDERSTAND LAST YEAR WASN'T HERE, OBVIOUSLY.
YEAH, YEAH. STILL DISCUSSING AND STILL REVIEWING.
DID I HEAR CORRECTLY THAT? THIS APPLICATION WANTS TO USE THE FIELDS LIKE THE SOCCER FIELD.
[00:35:06]
OKAY. PHOTOS. THEY'VE GOT KIND OF A LAYOUT, THEY'VE GOT THE BOUNCE HOUSE SHOWING I THINK ON THAT MULTI-PURPOSE FIELD, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, A DANCE CONTEST.OKAY. NOW I DO NOT SEE IN THIS.
WHERE PARKING WOULD BE NOTATED.
OKAY. I HAVEN'T SEEN AND THAT'S NOT REQUIRED IN THE IN THE APPLICATION.
UM, DO WE REQUIRE WE ASK THEM IF THERE'S GOING TO BE OFF SITE PARKING.
IT DOESN'T THERE'S NO INDICATION THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE DUMPSTERS OR, YOU KNOW, UM.
WELL, I NOTICE HERE THAT THERE ARE TWO AC PORTABLE TOILETS.
YES. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT IS USUALLY CALCULATED, BUT FOR $1,500 OR 1500 PEOPLE, TWO PORTABLE TOILETS ARE NOT GOING TO ACCOMMODATE THAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
SO IT SAYS IN REALITY IS IT'S EIGHT.
WHEN THEY SENT THE SCREENSHOTS, THEY SENT THE THE QUOTE IN THEIR TRAILERS SO THEY HAVE MULTI.
OKAY, COOL. SO CLARIFICATION IS GOOD.
SO THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ACTUAL VENDORS.
IF YOU LOOK AT PAGE THREE OF SEVEN, IT SAYS THEY SHOW THE BASKETBALL COURTS AND THEN IT SAYS VENDORS, RIGHT? AND THEN THERE'S A SIDEWALK AND IT SAYS VENDORS.
RIGHT. SO THAT'S OUR PARKING LOT WHERE THE VENDORS WOULD BE.
OKAY. AND THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS LAST YEAR.
VENDORS IN THE PARKING LOT THINK, OKAY.
OKAY. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ANYBODY ELSE GOT ANY QUESTIONS FOR CLARIFICATION OF WHAT'S.
IT'S ON THE WHOLE APPLICATION, NOT JUST CLARIFICATION QUESTIONS IN GENERAL.
SO. ANY CLARIFICATIONS NEEDED ON ANYTHING.
SO FIRST OF ALL, UH, I WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY UPSET THAT THE APPLICATION WASN'T ON THE WEBSITE.
HOW CAN THE COMMUNITY REVIEW THIS APPLICATION IF IT'S NOT ON THE WEBSITE? I ACTUALLY JUST GOT THIS TODAY, SO JUST FYI TO EVERYONE.
UM, ACTUALLY I EMAILED EACH OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS IF IF YOU GO BACK COULDN'T OPEN IT IT WAS YEAH, I ACTUALLY ONLY GOT THE EMAIL BECAUSE I WALKED IN AND ASKED STAFF IN REGARDS OF WHAT WAS THIS ABOUT? SO I NEVER GOT THE APPLICATION.
BECAUSE WHEN I OPENED IT AND I TRIED DIFFERENT DEVICES, IT'S JUST SPECIAL CHARACTERS ALL OVER.
OKAY. UM, THAT GOES WITH THAT.
SO THIS EVENT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR VARIOUS YEARS.
IT WAS IN THE SAME SETUP THAT IT HAS HERE.
I THINK THEY HAD CLOSED THE, UH, THE UM.
THE STREET, WHICH DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT'S A PROBLEM.
IF YOU GO TO DOWNTOWN WEST PALM, THEY CLOSE FOR SUNFEST.
IF YOU GO TO JENSEN BEACH, THEY CLOSE FOR PINEAPPLE FESTIVAL.
IF YOU GO TO PORT SALERNO, THEY CLOSE FOR SEAFOOD FESTIVAL.
IF YOU GO TO PORT SAINT LUCIE, THEY DO.
[00:40:01]
SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT IS A PROBLEM.UM, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT UNITING OUR COMMUNITY AND ABOUT, UH.
UM. I'VE FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN IN THE APPLICATION.
I ACTUALLY THE TRAFFIC HAVING NO TRAFFIC LAST YEAR OR YEAH I THINK LAST YEAR THEY MADE IT WHERE TRAFFIC HAD TO GO THROUGH.
IS THAT CORRECT? BECAUSE SOMEONE FROM STAFF SAID THAT IT COULDN'T BE CLOSED ON THAT WAY.
THERE'S ACTUALLY NO ONE LIVING THERE.
THE ENTRANCE TO ANOTHER ENTRANCE.
AND KNOW ALL THE BOOKER PARK RESIDENTS WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
I DID SEE SOMEWHERE WHERE IT SAID THAT YOU WERE WORRIED ABOUT SECURITY.
IT WAS SUCH AN ORGANIZED EVENT.
I ACTUALLY GOT TO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAD NOT SEEN WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL, MY HIGH SCHOOL.
AND YES, PARKING WAS A LITTLE, BUT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A SOLUTION NOW.
THEY HAVE PERMISSION FROM ANOTHER ENTITY IN REGARDS OF TO PARK.
SO I'VE HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S BECAUSE OF ALL THESE SHOOTING OUT HERE, THAT EVENT THAT I WENT TO.
EVERYONE WAS JUST CHIT CHATTING.
I DIDN'T SEE WHAT PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW? NOT PEOPLE GOING OVER PRIVATE PROPERTY OR WHATEVER THE CASE IS, BUT THINK THAT US AS THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, ME AS A COUNCIL MEMBER.
AND YOU'RE BASICALLY TELLING THEM NO.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THE STAFF MEMBER THAT DOESN'T WANT TO WORK MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
I FEEL THAT WE'RE BEING UNJUST.
LAST YEAR I YOU CAN GO BACK TO LAST YEAR AND WE MADE THIS POOR COMMITTEE SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON SECURITY, SO MUCH MONEY WHILE ANOTHER PERSON HAD TO DO IT AND DIDN'T SPEND THAT MONEY.
AND I YOU CAN GO BACK ON IT ON THAT VIDEO BECAUSE I LITERALLY SAT HERE AND SAID I DIDN'T FEEL THAT THEY HAD TO TAKE THE COST FOR IT BECAUSE ME AS A PERSON THAT DOES EVENTS ALL THE TIME, I KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS.
YOU NEVER SEE HOLY CROSS ASKING FOR FEE WAIVERS LIKE YOU SEE THE CHAMBER ASKING FOR FEE WAIVERS.
AND THESE PEOPLE ARE PAYING FOR THIS SPECIAL APPLICATION.
SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND IS A PROBLEM.
HOW USING OUR PARK IS A PROBLEM.
THEY'RE WILLING TO HAVE POLICE OFFICERS THERE IN REGARDS OF THAT, THAT I I'M JUST TRYING TO SEE IF THEY ACTUALLY PROVIDED POLICE DETAIL LIKE AN INVOICE OR SOMETHING SO THAT I CAN SEE HOW MANY POLICE OFFICERS.
BUT THE EVENT I WENT TO IS A TOTALLY I THINK WHOEVER IS TALKING ABOUT IT BEING DANGEROUS TO A COMMUNITY, THIS EVENT IS NOT DANGEROUS TO THE COMMUNITY.
I DON'T BELIEVE THE WORD DANGEROUS WAS USED.
I BELIEVE IT WAS NEGATIVELY IMPACTED.
WELL. WELL, EVEN THOUGH NEGATIVELY IMPACTED IS THE SAME THING.
WE'RE WE'RE LET'S LET'S HAVE SOME CIVIL CIVILITY.
LET'S LET EVERYBODY TALK SO YOU YOU WE CAN GO ALL DAY ON ON THIS.
[00:45:03]
BUT THIS IS MY COMMUNITY AND MY COMMUNITY REALLY LOVE THIS EVENT.IF WE'RE WILLING TO HELP AND TRY TO SEE HOW WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK, I'M ALL FOR IT.
BUT DENYING THIS APPLICATION IS NOT ONE THING THAT I'M FOR.
MY QUESTION IS, COULD YOU GUYS PROVIDE US A CERTIFICATE OF ASSURANCE THAT YOU KNOW THAT THE VILLAGE IS REQUIRING, SAY, BEFORE THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, GIVE US, YOU KNOW, THE LIKE SHE SAID, THE DEPUTY, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY DEPUTIES YOUR YOUR GUYS ARE GOING TO NEED.
I MEAN, IT IS OUR TOWN'S EVENT.
SHE SAID YOU GUYS SECURED A LOCATION FOR PARKING.
OKAY. GOT ANYTHING? YEAH. FIRST OF ALL, I MEAN, AS FAR AS MOVING TO TIME OF POWER PARK, THAT'S.
I MEAN, THAT CONVERSATION SHOULDN'T EVEN COME UP, REALLY.
SO THAT WAY YOU COULD HAVE A EVENT.
BUT AS FAR AS THE EVENT, I'M ALL FOR IT.
I MEAN, THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT TO SAY ABOUT IT.
I THINK, UM, AND I, I ECHO THOSE SENTIMENTS.
WE HAVE TO HAVE THE INFORMATION IN ORDER TO MAKE A INFORMED DECISION.
WHERE'S THE OFF SITE PARKING? THREE ON THE NON-FOR PROFIT LOCATION.
DO WE HAVE A LETTER STATING THAT? BECAUSE FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THAT HAS THAT'S NO LONGER OKAY.
WE NEED MORE THAN A PHONE CALL.
MA'AM, WOULD YOU MIND COMING UP TO THE MIC? YEAH. NO, NO, PLEASE.
YEAH, JUST STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, AND THERE YOU GO.
FOR THE RECORD. TO ONE STEWART, THE COORDINATOR OF THE SWAMP HOME.
COMING. ALL THE SENTIMENTS HERE.
WE HEAR YOU. BUT THIS IS OUR HOME.
WHAT ARE WE DOING THERE? WE DON'T HAVE ANY MEMORIES THERE.
I CAN'T TAKE ANYONE BY MY HOUSE AND TELL THEM THAT'S WHERE I LIVE.
IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO USE THE BATHROOM, I CAN'T TAKE THEM THERE.
IT'S A DIFFERENT FEEL WHEN WE'RE IN BOOKER PARK.
ABSOLUTELY. NOW US TALKING AS OUR GROUP OF WHAT OTHER OPTIONS THERE WOULD BE THAT CAME UP.
THAT'S THE ONLY REASON THAT WAS MENTIONED.
OKAY. SO SO ONCE AGAIN, OFFSITE PARKING.
OKAY. BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING IN THE IN THE APPLICATION, IT SAYS 1500 PEOPLE.
IS THAT A DAY FOR THE WHOLE EVENT? HOW ABOUT HOW MANY? BECAUSE PARKING IS AN ISSUE.
OH, ABSOLUTELY. LOVE THE EVENT.
AND IT'S AND IT'S THAT IT'S THAT MANY PEOPLE EACH DAY.
RIGHT. I'M NOT GOING TO SUGARCOAT MY APPLICATION AND SAY, OH, ABSOLUTELY.
AND I APPRECIATE. AND BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, I'VE BEEN HONEST.
OKAY. ABSOLUTELY. EVERYTHING YOU ASKED ME.
OKAY, HANG ON, HANG ON, HANG ON.
LET'S LET'S I WANT TO CLARIFY AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION.
APPARENTLY, WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION.
LIKE, OKAY, YOU HAVE THE PERMISSION FOR THE FOR THE NONPROFIT.
WE NEED A HARD COPY SAYING, YES, WE CAN'T JUST TAKE OKAY, TALK TO SOMEBODY ON THE PHONE.
WE HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING IN HAND AND LOVE THE EVENT.
I RIDE MY SCOOTER BECAUSE PARKING IS AN ISSUE.
NOW, NOW AND LET'S TALK PARKING.
IF YOU'RE TALKING 1500 PEOPLE A DAY AND PARKING IS AN ISSUE.
AND AND I'VE ALSO I'VE HAD PEOPLE COMING AT ME AND I KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN I'VE RECEIVED SOMETHING IN AN EMAIL TODAY FOR US TO TAKE UP THESE THESE NO PARKING SIGNS.
THE VILLAGE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE NO PARKING SIGNS.
THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE NO PARKING SPOTS.
THEY'RE NOT NO PARKING SIGNS, MA'AM.
THERE'S SIGNS THAT SAY WE'LL GO TO JAIL IF WE'RE CAUGHT ON THAT PROPERTY.
AND I HAVE PEOPLE COMING AT ME ASKING, ASKING ME HOW DO THEY GET THOSE SIGNS? WELL, THE TERMINOLOGY THAT SHOULD BE USED, OKAY, IS THAT IT'S A STATUE PUT ON THAT SIGN SAYING THAT IF WE'RE CAUGHT ON THE PROPERTY, WE GO TO JAIL.
OKAY. LET ME LET ME EXPLAIN, BECAUSE I'VE HAD THAT QUESTION.
WHERE ARE THOSE COMING FROM? IT'S COMING FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER, THE PROPERTY OWNER, AND THE PROCESS, IN ORDER FOR THOSE SIGNS TO BE PUT THERE, IS THAT IT'S INITIATED BY THE
[00:50:07]
LANDOWNER OR AN ASSIGNED AGENT.THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS NOT PUTTING THOSE UP AT THEIR OWN DISCRETION.
THE VILLAGE CANNOT TAKE THOSE SIGNS DOWN AS THEY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO DO THAT.
THE LANDOWNER THAT HAS THOSE SIGNS POSTED HAD TO CALL THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND ASK FOR A TRESPASS AUTHORIZATION AND THEY HAD TO SIGN THE PAPERWORK IN ORDER FOR THAT TO BE GIVEN TO THEM.
AND THEY ARE GIVEN AN INCIDENT NUMBER IN ORDER FOR THOSE SIGNS TO BE GIVEN OUT.
THE SIGNS ARE $35 A PIECE PLUS TAX.
OKAY. THIS AND AND AND ONCE THEY GET THEM, THEN THEY PUT THEY THEY PUT THEM UP.
THEY HAVE THE RIGHT THEY ARE PROPERTY OWNERS.
THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTECT THEIR PROPERTY.
SO, MA'AM, I RESPECT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
YES, MA'AM. BUT JUST LIKE YOU'VE DONE YOUR RESEARCH, I HAVE TO.
OKAY. WELL, THE PROPERTY OWNER KNOW.
OKAY. SO LET ME ENCOURAGE PROPERTY OWNERS.
IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE SIGNS, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU CONTACT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, GET THAT INCIDENT NUMBER OF THAT PAPERWORK THAT WAS DONE THAT SOMEBODY SIGNED THAT SAID THAT THIS IS THE ADDRESS THAT THAT SIGN IS GOING TO GO ON BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, UNLESS I AM WRONG.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THOSE SIGNS ARE GIVEN OUT OR BOUGHT.
THEY'RE NOT GIVEN THEY HAVE TO BE PURCHASED IN ORDER FOR FOR AN INCIDENT.
NUMBER HAS TO BE GIVEN OUT TO THAT PERSON.
OKAY, BUT THEY HAVE SIGNS ON THEIR PROPERTY.
OKAY. WELL, AGAIN, AT THE END OF THE DAY, ME BEING A RESIDENT OF BOCA PARK FOR 54 YEARS.
YES, MA'AM. WE KNOW WHY THE SIGNS HAVE BEEN PUT UP.
I'M JUST I'M JUST THAT WE NEED CLARIFICATION HERE.
HALF OF YOU DON'T EVEN COME THROUGH BRICK APART.
HALF OF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN BOCA PARK HALF THE TIME.
BUT YOU SIT HERE AND YOU MAKE DECISIONS FOR OUR LIVES WHERE WE.
I'M A TAXPAYER. HAVE THE PEOPLE IN THESE ROOMS HAVE HOMES AND THEY PAY TAXES? YES, MA'AM. IN OUR COMMUNITY.
OKAY. WE'RE PAYING FOR YOU TO SIT THERE.
THEY WANTED TO NOBODY IN BOOKER PARK DECIDED THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING GOING ON OVER THERE.
OKAY. LET ME FINISH MY THOUGHT HERE.
WE? THE PEOPLE OF INDIAN TOWN SAID, WE WANT LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
SO WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
OKAY, SO WE HAVE MADE RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES.
OKAY. WELL, OKAY, THEN THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO FIX.
I GET IT. BUT HERE'S THE THING.
I HAVE PEOPLE FROM BOOKER PARK COMING AT ME SAYING, HOW DO I GET THOSE SIGNS THAT IT'S A PROBLEM? THEY DON'T WANT IT OVER THERE.
AND I, I HAVE HAD PEOPLE TELL ME THIS, THAT LIVE IN BOOKER PARK.
OKAY. THERE IS ANOTHER SIDE TO THAT.
OKAY, THAT LIVE CLOSE TO THAT.
SO IF THAT ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED, THAT IS WONDERFUL.
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF.
SO THE PUBLIC HEALTH THE PUBLIC SAFETY IS WE'VE DONE WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.
WE'RE NOT ASKING. ASK EVERYBODY.
YES, WE DO. IF THESE THESE LET ME FINISH.
THESE THINGS. THIS IS WHAT THIS IS WHAT WE GIVE EVERYBODY FOR THOSE FOR THOSE FOR THAT PERMIT.
REALLY, THAT THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING.
IN ORDER TO HAVE AN EVENT THIS LARGE, IT'S A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT.
[00:55:06]
IF SO, THEN WE NEED TO KNOW.SO MY MY QUESTION IS, CAN WE CAN WE GET OUR QUESTIONS OR CAN WE GET OUR CONCERNS? CAN WE WORK TOGETHER IN ORDER TO TO HAVE A GOOD EVENT? AND CONTINUE THE EVENT.
WE'RE WILLING TO WORK TOGETHER.
BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE HARD COPIES ON LIKE THE THE THE INSURANCE THING.
ARE WE ABLE TO DO THAT? ARE WE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER? THAT'S THAT'S ALL WE'RE ASKING.
IF YOU'VE GOT PARKING, THAT WAS A CONCERN.
LET'S JUST HAVE THE PAPER THAT SAYS, YES, THEY'RE ABLE TO USE OUR PROPERTY.
THAT'S GREAT. I THINK WE CAN DO THAT.
THINK PARKING IS THE BIGGEST THING.
IF THEY SO IF THAT'S TAKEN CARE OF, THEN THAT THAT SOLVES A HUGE PROBLEM EXCEPT FOR THE LIABILITY.
I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE LIABILITY.
SO THAT NEEDS TO BE WORKED OUT TOO.
IF YOU HAVE INSURANCE, THEN WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RIGHT THINGS, IT'S DONE PROPERLY.
THAT'S ALL WE'RE ASKING IS DO IT PROPERLY.
YES, MA'AM. IF WE CAN IF WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT, WHICH I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'RE RATIONAL ADULTS, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME TOGETHER AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE I'S ARE I'S ARE DOTTED AND THE T'S ARE CROSSED.
IT'S JUST THAT WITHOUT AN APPROVED APPLICATION, THAT'S INCOMPLETE.
DO WE NEED TO HAVE THIS? HOW QUICKLY? NOW, YOU'VE HEARD THE CONCERNS AND YOU'VE HEARD WHAT IS REQUIRED.
OKAY. WE JUST NEED PAPER COPY.
AND IN MR BOSS, I'M SURE WOULD BE HAPPY TO EXPLAIN.
IT NEEDS TO COVER EXACTLY THIS.
I'D BE GLAD TO CHAT WITH YOU ALL.
YEAH. HELP WORK THROUGH EXACTLY THAT.
WE'RE NOT HERE TO MAKE THE PROCESS DIFFICULT.
WE'RE NOT. BUT WE HAVE BEEN TASKED BY YOU IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THESE THINGS IN PLACE.
AND. AND IT'S FOR EVERYBODY'S.
SAFETY, WELL-BEING FOR TO HAVE A GOOD EVENT.
AND YES, I'VE COME TO I'VE COME TO SEVERAL.
I MAKE SURE I RIDE MY SCOOTER BECAUSE PARKING IS AN ISSUE.
ARE YOU WILLING? AND THAT'S THE THING. LET'S DO A TIME FRAME ON THIS.
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WOULD TAKE TO SECURE LIKE A LETTER FROM WHEREVER THE PARKING IS ABLE TO BE DONE AND GET THIS CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE WITH THE RIGHT WORDING ON IT? DO YOU HAVE A TIME FRAME ON THAT? A WEEK? TWO WEEKS.
SO BY THE NEXT. LET'S SAY BY THE NEXT MEETING.
AND MAYOR, YOU BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT EARLIER.
THE VILLAGE HAS BEEN WORKING ON LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, THOSE OF THE ELDERS THAT I REFERENCED.
THOSE ARE YOUR RULES OF HOW YOU WANT THINGS TO BE IMPLEMENTED AND HOW WE PROCEED.
I DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY NOT TO BRING THOSE TO YOU.
RIGHT. SO TO NOT FOLLOW THE LAW, YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW WHAT WE HAVE.
AND IT HAS BEEN IT HAS IS PAINFULLY CLEAR MOVING FORWARD.
WE HAVE TO WE HAVE TO REVIEW AND REDO OUR ELDERS BECAUSE WE DON'T REALIZE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM UNTIL WE'VE PUT THEM UNTIL WE'VE PUT THEM INTO PRACTICE.
HEY, THE LIGHT. CAN YOU TURN? IS THAT IT? THERE YOU GO. UNTIL WE PUT THEM INTO PRACTICE, WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE WRONG, SO THAT IT'S COMING TO LIGHT WHERE WE NEED TO FIX THOSE.
THAT'S GOOD. AS I'VE GAINED MY COMPOSURE.
I TRULY AM. BECAUSE 2017, WE INCORPORATED INDIAN TOWN TO BE A VILLAGE.
2017, WE HOSTED OUR FIRST SWAMP HOMECOMING.
[01:00:02]
THAT'S HOW LONG WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS.WE'RE ALL SITTING WHERE WE AT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OUR COMMUNITY IS BEING QUESTIONED.
WE DON'T NEED TO BE CONTAINED AT ALL.
TOMMY POWERS PARK IS NOT GOING TO CONTAIN ANYTHING.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IN BOOKER PARK, IT'S WHERE WE FEEL SAFE.
YOU HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE ROOM THAT WILL TELL YOU THE MEANING OF WHAT IT IS.
IF OUR COMMUNITY WANTED TO HAVE SOMETHING EVERY DAY, EVERY MONTH, WHY CAN'T WE? BEING PUT UNDER THE MICROSCOPE IS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN YOU KNOW YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING TO PLEASE WHATEVER YOU ASKED US TO DO.
LAST YEAR, SHANNON DID THE APPLICATION OVER SEVEN TIMES.
AND EVERY TIME SHE SUBMITTED IT, IT HAD THE SAME INFORMATION ON IT.
THE GIRL WAS IN TEARS BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY SHE HAD TO KEEP DOING THIS.
WE WERE PUT THROUGH THE WRINGER LAST YEAR, BUT WE TOOK IT AND WE KEPT GOING.
WE NEVER ONCE SAID WE DON'T WANT THE POLICE THERE.
EVERYBODY WAS THERE, SO THEY SHOWED UP.
Y'ALL DIDN'T HELP US PAY NOTHING BECAUSE WE NEVER ASKED Y'ALL FOR ANYTHING.
I'VE NEVER ASKED YOU FOR ANYTHING.
EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE, WE DONE IT BETWEEN ME AND HER.
AND IT HURTS TO BEG YOU TO HAVE SOMETHING IN MY COMMUNITY WHERE I PAY TAXES AT WHERE I LIVE.
THAT'S WHERE WE LIVE AND LOVE.
WICKER PARK, LOVE WICKER PARK.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S BROUGHT ME TO THIS POINT.
I NEVER IN MY A MILLION YEARS THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TO BEG YOU TO DO ANYTHING.
THE SATISFACTION OF THE CERTIFICATE? NO. DIDN'T PAY IT. BECAUSE IF YOU'RE GOING TO CANCEL IT, WHY DO I NEED TO SATISFY IT? I MEAN, FOR REAL.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I'M HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY HUMBLY ASKING YOU.
WE'LL DO WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO.
STEVE KRAMER HAS CONTACTED ME AND SAID TO ONE NEED THIS, I NEED THAT.
I GET IT TO HIM ANYTIME THEY'VE CONTACTED SHANNON AND TOLD HER WE NEEDED SOMETHING, WE GET IT HERE.
WE KNOW EVERYBODY DON'T HAVE TO DO WHAT WE DO TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
BUT I'M NOT ON THAT. I'M NOT ON THAT ISSUE.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE FLIGHTS BOOKED RIGHT NOW TO COME HERE.
NOTHING GOES ON IN BOOK APART.
BUT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIVE THERE.
EVERYBODY'S ANTICIPATING THIS.
NO ONE IN BOOKER PARK IS COMPLAINING ABOUT ANYTHING.
THEY'RE GLAD WE'RE HAVING SOMETHING BECAUSE WE DON'T.
WE CAN'T PARK THERE. BUT GUESS WHAT? I GOT ENOUGH SENSE TO ASK THE PROPERTY OWNER, CAN WE BE ON THEIR PROPERTY? AND THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.
BECAUSE THE VILLAGE DON'T OWN THOSE PROPERTIES.
NOW, EVERYONE IN HERE IS IN AGREEMENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH YOU.
ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT OWN HOUSES, WE GOT HOUSES.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. WE WANT TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.
WE REALLY DO. THAT'S ALL WE ASK.
I. I AM SADDENED THAT YOU THINK THAT IT'S THAT IT'S BEGGING.
YOU SHOULDN'T FEEL THAT WAY AND DON'T FEEL LIKE IT IS BECAUSE IT IS A REQUIREMENT.
AND FOR EVERYBODY AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU IN ORDER TO TO ASK.
AND TO FIND OUT SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO.
SO APPARENTLY THERE IS A CONSENSUS THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER IN ORDER TO GET THOSE ITEMS THAT THAT NEED TO BE THAT NEED TO BE IN IN WRITING.
[01:05:02]
AND MOVE FORWARD FROM THERE.I KNOW. I DO. SOME OF THE BEST FOOD THAT I GET ALL YEAR.
I FEEL LIKE THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH.
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.
AND THAT MOTION IS TO APPROVE IT WITH MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE ALL THE REQUIREMENTS.
APPROVE. PENDING THAT ALL THE REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET.
CORRECT. AND WE HAVE A SECOND.
DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? YES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE CAN STAFF STATE THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE'RE EXPECTING FROM THEM? WELL, THE INSURANCE CERTIFICATE HAS TO MEET WHAT MR. BOSS HAS INDICATED.
FOR THE EQUIPMENT. YEAH, WE NEED.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT A CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE IN PLACE, INSURING THEM, NAMING US AS AN ADDITIONAL INSURED, COVERING EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THE BOUNCE HOUSE AND ANYTHING ELSE RENTED OR OWNED OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
AND I'LL BE GLAD TO WORK WITH THEM TO AND MAKE SURE IT'S GOT THE RIGHT STUFF.
AND IN CASE THEY DON'T HAVE THE BOUNCE HOUSE THAT WOULDN'T YOU KNOW LESS THAT YEAH.
AND THE MAYOR ASKED FOR PROOF OF THE PARKING.
SO A LETTER OF THE OWNER? YEAH. FOR PARKING.
AND I JUST WANTED TO STATE FOR THE RECORD, LAST YEAR WE APPROVED THIS APPLICATION.
IT WAS IT DIDN'T GO ON WITHOUT IT.
BUT LAST YEAR YOUR ELDERS WERE NOT COMPLETELY FINALIZED.
IT WAS APPROVED. UM, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE AND IN ANY CONVERSATIONS THAT STAFF HAVE WITH THE APPLICANT, I WOULD LIKE TO BE, UH, OR I WOULD LIKE TO BE ENTAILED IN THERE SO I CAN MAKE SURE THAT THE APPLICANT IS.
AND IF SHE NEEDS ANY HELP, I'LL HELP HER.
AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, I THINK LAST YEAR.
AND I APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 60 DAYS OUT.
AND THIS YEAR YOU GUYS HAVE STARTED, YOU KNOW, THE A LOT EARLIER THAN LAST YEAR AND I THINK MAYBE LAST YEAR IT WAS APPROVED PENDING THE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER NEEDED TO BE, YOU KNOW, FINALIZED AND DONE.
SO IT WAS I THINK IT WAS THE SAME SITUATION.
AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, YES, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I HAVE HEARD FROM BOOKER PARK RESIDENTS THAT LIVE CLOSE TO THAT EVENT THAT DO NOT.
UM, THEY'RE NOT EXCITED ABOUT IT AND THEY PREFER IT TO BE MOVED.
I HAVE HEARD THAT. I'M JUST TELLING YOU, THERE ARE NOT EVERYBODY IS.
SO I'M JUST SAYING THERE ARE CONCERNS IN THE COMMUNITY.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND.
IS THERE ANY FURTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION? MAYOR. YES, SIR.
PUBLIC. WE DO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT.
GOTCHA. BUT I'M JUST MAKING SURE.
PUBLIC COMMENT. THE FIRST PUBLIC COMMENT.
[01:10:02]
I'M RIGHT ON TIME. HI, I'M JIMMY SMITH, PRESIDENT OF MARTIN COUNTY BRANCH NAACP.UH, I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS EVENT AND LISTEN TO THE COMMENTS OF THIS YOUNG LADY, WHAT SHE HAD WORKED SO HARD TO, UH, PUT THIS TOGETHER IN YOUR TIME.
I KNOW THERE'S A FEW YEARS OUT THERE.
UH, YOU DEVELOP THIS BOARD AND WE COME OVER AND SUPPORT WHATEVER WE GOT TO DO.
UH, THIS IS SOME OF YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A HOME GOING THING, TO BRING BACK IN PEOPLE THAT HAS PAVED THE WAY FOR THIS COMMUNITY HERE IN YOUR TOWN AND HAVE LEFT AND COME BACK TO CELEBRATE WHAT A GREAT TIME IT IS TO BE A MOM'S FAMILY.
UH, A LOT OF YOU DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEING HERE THAT LONG.
IN ANY IN TOWN, ACTUALLY, IS THE FIRST TOWN OF MARTIN COUNTY.
SOME OF YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW THAT.
ANY IN TOWN IS THE FIRST TOWN IN MARTIN COUNTY, NOT STUART.
INDIAN TOWN. ACTUALLY, INDIAN TOWN IS THE MIGRANT WORKER THAT HAS PAID THE WAY TO MAKE INDIAN TOWN AND MAKE MARTIN COUNTY A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE. THESE PEOPLE HAVE CAME HERE AND WORKED HARD AND BUT THEY DON'T GET THE CREDIT.
THE PEOPLE THAT COME FINANCIALLY GET ALL THE CREDIT.
THESE PEOPLE, FAMILY AND FATHER HAVE PAID THEIR WAY TO MAKE A SUCCESS.
UH, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THIS AND LISTEN TO THE ALL THE ACCUSATIONS AND THINGS THEY'RE SAYING, WORKING OUT THE KINKS AND WHAT WE'RE MAKING DECISIONS IS THAT I UNDERSTAND HER PAIN.
AND I KNOW SHE MENTIONED ABOUT BEGGING, BUT SOMETIME IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU HAVE STRUGGLED SO LONG IN YOUR LIFE AND COMING UP, LIKE ME COMING OUT OF GEORGIA OFF OF PLANTATION, YOU HAVE TO ALMOST BEG TEAM AND HAVE A LIFE TO LIVE.
BASICALLY, WE SHOULD INVOLVE THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENTS TO BE A PARTAKER IN THIS EVENT.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO THAT FAR. BUT I WANT TO GET TO THE POINT THAT WHERE I'M GONNA SPEAK FOR I KNOW WHEN ROY ZBA USED TO BE THE SHERIFF AND TO JANE HOLT, ACTUALLY, ANY OTHER TOWN HAD MORE BLACK OFFICERS THAN ANY OTHER PLACE IN MONROE COUNTY.
WE NEED TO RE REITERATE THIS THING BACK IN A RELATIONSHIP.
WE ARE TRYING TO FIND PROTECTION WHICH PROTECTION SHOULD ALREADY BE.
IT'S THE UPON ME IS OUR AGENCY TO PROTECT AND SERVE.
I KNOW MY TIME UP I'M GONNA TAKE HER TIME.
BUT WHOSE TIME? SERIOUSLY, WHOSE TIME? LET ME LET ME END WITH THIS.
LET ME END WITH THIS. LET ME END WITH THIS.
YOU NEVER HAVE ALL THE PARKING.
IF YOU SAY TIME WAS PARK, WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO OFFER? NOTHING. TRADITIONAL EVENT.
PLEASE ALLOW THESE LADIES TO FORWARD WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
I KNOW THAT YOU, THE ELECTED OFFICIAL.
I'M PRETTY CLOSE. I KNOW YOUR ELECTED OFFICIAL.
AND I HOPE ALL OF YOU GET BEHIND US WHEN THE ELECTION TIME COME THIS YEAR.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YEAH. THE NEXT COMMENT IS IS FOR LINDA IVORY, BUT SHE WOULD LIKE TO DONATE HER TIME TO JIMMY SMITH.
THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
REALLY? SHE GAVE ME A WHOLE THREE MINUTES, MA'AM.
LISTEN. WE NEED TO UNITE TOGETHER.
SPEAKING TO THE MIC, I'M LOOKING AT ALL OF YOU.
AFTER SPEAKING TO MC JIMMY, LET'S GET TOGETHER AND LET'S GET OUT AND VOTE.
I DON'T CARE WHAT DEPARTMENT IT IS.
COUNTY COMMISSION OR THIS? YOUR HOMETOWN COMMISSION.
ME? TELL ME. WE WERE VERY LACKING ON 3% OF GET PEOPLE GETTING OUT AND VOTE.
WE GOT A PANEL THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN VOTE FOR.
OKAY, I'M NOT AGAINST YOU, BUT I'M JUST TELLING YOU THAT TIME IS COMING.
WHETHER IT'S THE TIME OF PAUL, A BOOK OF PAUL OR WHATEVER.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO JOIN TOGETHER IN UNITY AND UNIFIED IN AMERICA, THEN YOU GOT SOME PROBLEMS. IT'S TIME FOR US TO START HELPING THIS LADY AND OF TRYING TO FIND COMPLICATION FOR HER.
[01:15:07]
BOOK UPON NEED SOME EXCITEMENT.THAT'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THAT COMMUNITY.
THAT LITTLE STORE JAKE STORE AND A LITTLE LITTLE STORE.
THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S REVENUE COMING IN THE COMMUNITY WHICH IS MATTER OF FACT.
MARTIN LUTHER KING WAS THE MOST EXCITING STREET.
IT WAS. AND BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN MAYBE YOU WEREN'T HERE THAT PEOPLE SUPPLY AND PEOPLE ABLE TO OPERATE AND DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO GO OUT MONEY CIRCULATE IN THAT COMMUNITY THREE TIMES BEFORE IT LEAVE.
NOW WE DON'T HAVE NOTHING IN THERE FOR THE MONEY TO STAY THERE.
EVERYBODY GOING TO STAY POOR IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOME CIRCULATION OF FUNDS.
SO I JUST ENCOURAGE YOU, ALL OF YOU RIGHT HERE IN THE PANEL, IF YOU DON'T WORK WITH THESE LADIES.
IF YOU DON'T WORK WITH THIS COMMUNITY, WE DON'T HAVE A COMMUNITY.
AND I WOULD TAKE IT TO THE STATE LEVEL AND THE NATIONAL LEVEL.
AND I'M JUST TELLING YOU TO YOU HONESTLY.
GET THIS COMMUNITY OVER HERE HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO LEAVE IT BEHIND.
I KNOW THIS SHOOTING IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL TALK ABOUT SHOOTING IN THE SCHOOL.
WE CAN CONTROL THE SHOOTING IF WE WORK TOGETHER.
I GOT A GOOD TEAM OF GUYS HERE.
I'VE BEEN KNOWING ALL OF THAT.
ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS INVITE THEM, GIVE SOME BARBECUE, SHOW THEM SOME LOVE.
SO. SO LET'S WORK TOGETHER AND MAKE THIS MA'AM, YOUR HEART.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO HAVE? SUCCESS.
AND I THINK THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WILL WORK WITH THEM AND DOING THAT.
ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT IS JACINTO PACHECO.
I HOPE I DIDN'T DESTROY YOUR NAME.
LUCINDA PACHECO. THINK EVERYTHING IS ALREADY SOLVED.
WHAT WAS GOING TO SAY? BUT I'LL STILL SAY IT.
I DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME, SHE SAID WE.
IT RUBBED ME THE WRONG WAY WHEN SHE SAID WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT OR WHATEVER.
I WANT IT FOR US TO BE A COMMUNITY, FOR US TO SAY WE WORK AND WE HELP YOU ACCOMPLISH THIS.
WE FINDING THIS, WE FINDING THAT NO, WE WANT WE ALL HERE FOR EACH OTHER.
WE WANT WANT US TO SAY, HOW CAN WE HELP YOU ORGANIZE THIS? HOW CAN WE DO THIS? WE NOT WHAT WE DOING THIS AND THAT.
WHEN WE INCORPORATE IT WAS AGAINST IT, LIKE I ALWAYS SAY.
OH, THE COMMUNITY IS GOING TO BE EASIER TO GET THINGS DONE.
BUT JUST BECAUSE I DON'T GO DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY CAN'T HAVE SOMETHING THAT OTHER PEOPLE ENJOY.
FINDING THAT WRONG FIND THAT IT'S LIKE EXTEND AN OLIVE BRANCH WORKING.
WE AS THE AS, AS US WORKING PUBLIC SERVANTS HELP YOU OUT ORGANIZE THIS.
SO I'M GLAD THAT WE SETTLED EVERYTHING DOWN AND WE'RE IN GOOD TERMS WITH THE COMMUNITY.
MIGHT GO THIS YEAR, I DON'T KNOW.
BUT I'M GLAD THAT EVERYTHING'S GOING TO WORK.
AND IT'S DOWN TO TWO THINGS, AND I'M PRETTY SURE THAT WE WILL GET IT DONE.
THE NEXT PUBLIC. COMMENTS FROM HEIDI DOVE.
HEIDI DOUG, FOR THE RECORD, UM, WELL, HE JUST BASICALLY SAID WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY IS THAT WHEN YOU GUYS INCORPORATED, YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BE UNDER THE RULE AND THE REIGN OF MARTIN COUNTY.
AND SO NOW WE GOT ALL THESE RULES AND EVERYTHING GOING ON.
I DO AGREE THAT YOU GUYS NEED TO REVISIT YOUR ELDERS.
SO WE NEED TO I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND EVERYTHING INVOLVED IN THAT.
Y'ALL NEED TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT.
SO WHEN THESE THINGS COME UP, Y'ALL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR.
I CAN SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE BECAUSE WITH PARKS AND REC THEY ASK US FOR THINGS THAT WE NEED, AND THAT'S WHERE THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN, THE SAFETY OF THE TOWN AND THE SAFETY OF THE PARENTS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO I DO UNDERSTAND TO GIVE THEM WHAT THEY NEED.
[01:20:03]
NOW, IF Y'ALL GIVE THEM WHAT THEY NEED AND THEY COME WITH SOMETHING ELSE, THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT PROBLEM.I HAPPEN TO BE AROUND FOR A CONVERSATION, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EQUALITY.
I SEE THOSE SIGNS IN BOOKER PARK, BUT I DON'T SEE A LOT OF THEM SIGNS UPTOWN.
THAT'S AN ISSUE BECAUSE IF WE'RE BEING EQUAL THE SAME WAY Y'ALL REACHED OUT AND I KNOW YOU REACHED OUT TO THESE INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE I WAS STANDING THERE AND THEY SAID THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WAS CALLING AND SAID, DO YOU STILL WANT TO PUT THESE SIGNS ON YOUR PROPERTY? LA LA LA LA LA. AND I WAS LIKE, YEAH.
THEY WAS LIKE, YEAH, GIVE ME THE PAPERWORK SO IT CAN BE DONE.
WHEN YOU GOT SIGNS IN ONE AREA AND YOU HAVE NO SIGNS IN ANOTHER AREA.
YOU'RE CRYING ALL YOUR RESIDENTS OF ANY TOWN TO DO THAT.
BUT I'VE SEEN THEM ALL OVER THE PLACE IN BOOKER PARK, AND THEY HAVE EVENTS UP HERE.
I'M EXCITED BECAUSE I'M GOING TO BOTH OF THEM AND AND BOOKER PARK.
BUT I'M JUST SAYING WE HAVE SEVERAL EVENTS UPTOWN.
YOU HAVE THE GUADALUPE FESTIVAL, I BELIEVE WE GOT THE RODEO.
I BELIEVE. SO WE CAN HAVE MULTIPLE EVENTS BUT TREAT EVERYBODY THE SAME IF YOU'RE GOING TO REQUIRE THEM TO GET THOSE SIGNS, Y'ALL NEED TO CONTACT THESE RESIDENT OWNERS, HAWK THEM DOWN LIKE YOU DID THE OTHER PEOPLE AND SAY, WE NEED YOU TO PUT SOME SIGNS ON THESE PROPERTIES.
DO Y'ALL WANT TO HAVE THESE SIGNS ON THE PROPERTY OR WHATEVER? DON'T GIVE THEM THAT OPTION.
BUT DON'T THINK THAT SAYING BECAUSE I DON'T SEE NOTHING UP HERE AS FAR AS THE SHARING.
I KNOW THESE PEOPLE FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT THEIR PROPERTY THAT THEY FEEL IN BOOKER PARK.
THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENT, MA'AM.
SO WE HAVE WE HAVE A MOTION MADE BY VICE MAYOR STONE, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ, TO APPROVE WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT THE INSURANCE CERTIFICATE AND THE LETTER OF PARKING.
BE PROVIDED IN ORDER FOR THE PERMIT TO MOVE FORWARD, IN ORDER TO GET THE OTHER.
LET'S DO A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THIS? YES, MA'AM. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ.
YES. VICE MAYOR STONE? YES. MAYOR GIBBS.
THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, BROWNFIELDS GRANT.
[7.
Brownfields Grant Initial Scope Review
]INITIAL SCOPE, REVIEW.AND GUESS WE'LL GIVE IT A MINUTE.
OKAY. YOU GUYS CAN SEE THE PRESENTATION NOW.
UM, GIVE US JUST A MOMENT, PLEASE.
LET THE MAYOR JUST INTRODUCE THE ITEM IN A MINUTE, AMY, AND THEN WE'LL MOVE FORWARD.
IF WE COULD, PLEASE EXIT QUIETLY.
WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEETING.
IF EVERYBODY COULD EXIT QUIETLY, PLEASE.
OH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
OH, THIS IS. THIS IS GOING TO BE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOR NEXT YEAR.
SO, YEAH, THERE WASN'T ANY FIFTH GRADERS THAT CAME TO US THIS YEAR.
OKAY. AND AND FOR FOR THE RECORD.
FOR THE RECORD, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS THAT STAFF.
WHAT THEY DO IS BY THE LAW, THEY LOOK AT THE LAW AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE ARE REQUIRED TO DO.
[01:25:01]
AND IF OUR ELDERS SAY ONE THING, THEY BRING IT TO OUR ATTENTION.THEY DON'T MAKE THE CHOICES WE DO.
ALL THEY CAN DO IS RECOMMEND BY THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE LAW AND WHAT WE HAVE PUT IN PLACE.
AND ONCE AGAIN, THOSE ELDERS, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THOSE.
AND IT DOES HAVE TO BE A COMMUNITY EFFORT.
EVERYBODY. JUST STAY TUNED FOR THAT ONE.
THAT ONE'S COMING. WE GOT TO DO THAT ONE.
SO, UM, MOVING FORWARD WITH NUMBER SEVEN.
OH, WE SEE IT UP ON THE SCREEN.
THANK YOU. YES, WE HAVE OUR CONSULTANT ON THERE AND SHE'S GOING TO TAKE DO THE PRESENTATION ON THIS.
THIS CAME TO THE COUNCIL A WHILE AGO, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANTED TO APPLY FOR A GRANT.
UM, THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED SPECIFIC AREAS IN THE BOOKER PARK AREA.
PRIMARILY IT LOOKS LIKE THE WHERE THE OLD FEMA TRAILERS WERE.
AND THEN WE WILL SEEK GRANTS IN ORDER TO HELP US CLEAN UP THOSE AREAS.
SO WE WILL CONTINUE TALKING ABOUT BOOKER PARK TONIGHT.
I WILL QUICKLY GO THROUGH THE SCOPE THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL.
AND LIKE IT WAS MENTIONED, WE HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.
SO AS AN INTRODUCTION, STANTEC IS AN INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AND ENGINEERING FIRM.
I AM THE US SOUTH BROWNFIELDS ASSET TRANSFORMATION LEADER FOR THEM.
SO IN MY ROLE I WORK WITH COMMUNITIES TO HELP CREATE A VISION FOR AN AREA A THEN CREATE A PLAN TO ACHIEVE IT AND THEN ASSIST WITH IMPLEMENTATION THROUGH CONSTRUCTION. SO SOME OF THAT MIGHT BE COMING UP WITH FUNDING STRATEGIES OR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.
FUNDING THESE FUNDS ARE AN EXCELLENT TOOL TO SORRY IT LOOKED LIKE IT WENT OFF FOR A SECOND, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE THE POWERPOINT IS STILL GOING.
THESE GRANTS ARE AN EXCELLENT TOOL TO INITIATE REVITALIZATION BECAUSE IT PROVIDES FUNDS FOR DUE DILIGENCE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND ALSO FOR PLANNING AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. SO WE TEAMED WITH THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL TO GO AFTER THE GRANT FUNDING.
THEY HAVE AN EXCELLENT TRACK RECORD OF MANAGING THESE GRANTS.
THE GRANT WAS AWARDED ITS FIRST TRY.
THAT WAS FISCAL YEAR 22, SO IT WAS AWARDED LAST YEAR AND IT'S GETTING KICKED OFF RIGHT NOW.
BUT THIS GRANT IS VERY FLEXIBLE AND IT CAN FUND WHAT IS DEMANDED OF THE AREA.
ALSO, IT CAN FUND ANYTHING OUT THROUGHOUT THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL.
BUT YOU GUYS WERE THE FOCUS AREA AND HAVE PRIORITY.
UM, SO WE HAVE CREATED THE SCOPE UNDERNEATH THIS GRANT.
AND THE WAY IT WORKS IS THAT WE ARE AN APPROVED CONTRACTOR FOR THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL.
BUT YOU GUYS DO NOT INCUR ANY CONSULTANT FEES FOR THE SCOPE PRESENTED TONIGHT.
SO TO START OFF WITH LIKE, WHAT IS A BROWNFIELD? SO A BROWNFIELD IS REALLY JUST ANY SITE THAT HAS PERCEIVED CONTAMINATION.
AGRICULTURE, GOLF COURSES, BUILDINGS OLDER THAN 1980, CARS, ANYTHING.
SO THAT'S JUST A REAL QUICK DEFINITION FOR YOU.
NEXT, I'M GOING TO GO INTO THE SCOPE THAT WE HAVE PROPOSED.
THE FIRST SCOPE, SCOPE, THE FIRST TASK OF THE SCOPE IS CONDUCTING A BROWNFIELD SITE INVENTORY.
THIS WOULD BE COMPLETED FOR THE ENTIRE VILLAGE.
IT WOULD INCLUDE INFORMATION SUCH AS CURRENT CENSUS, CENSUS TRACK INFORMATION, ENVIRONMENTAL DATABASES SUCH AS UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS, PETROLEUM SITES, SITES THAT MAY HAVE IMPACTS, AND MAYBE THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN CLEANED UP, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, SHAPE FILES.
SO IT WILL SHOW YOUR OPPORTUNITY ZONE.
[01:30:08]
FOR GRANT WRITING AND JUST AS ONE LOCATION THAT HAS A LOT OF INFORMATION.SO IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE SPECIFIC TO SITE INVENTORY.
ALSO, AS PART OF IT, WE ARE GOING TO DO A DRIVE AROUND AND LOOK AT PROPERTY CONDITIONS.
SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE ARE STILL IN THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE ON.
WE WANT TO DO THE FIRST COMMUNITY MEETING AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY REALLY WHAT ARE SOME OF THE DRIVERS OF THE VILLAGE AS WELL AS THE STAKEHOLDERS, AND THEN WE CAN INCORPORATE THOSE INTO THE PROPERTY CONDITIONS.
SO THAT MIGHT BE FOR SOME AREAS.
SOMETIMES IT'S LOOKING AT SIDEWALKS OR HISTORIC BUILDINGS THAT MIGHT BE WORTH PRESERVING.
IT'S A VERY VARIOUS ITEMS AND THEN WE WILL GET INTO DETAILS LATER WHEN WE GET MORE INFORMATION.
THE SECOND TASK IS A VERY PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT, LOOKING AT SOME KEY PROPERTIES AND BOOKER PARK, MOSTLY JUST LOOKING AT THE HISTORY OF THE SITES, LOOKING AT AERIALS, TOPOGRAPHY AND SANBORN MAPS IF THEY'RE AVAILABLE.
IF WE THINK THAT THERE MAY BE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, THEN WE CAN GO AND DO TESTING ON THEM.
A SITE ACCESS AGREEMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THESE, SO THE SITE OWNER HAS TO BE A WILLING PARTICIPANT.
IT COULD BE TESTING THE WATER, THE GROUNDWATER OR SOIL.
IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE SITE NEEDS.
A LOT OF TIMES THESE ARE REQUIRED BY BANKS IN THE TRANSFER OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.
THE SECOND TASK IS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
FOR THIS WE WOULD DO STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS AND CONDUCT TWO COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS.
WE WOULD BE ADVERTISING THESE USING SOCIAL MEDIA.
THE FIRST MEETING WOULD BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE PROJECT.
WE WANT TO KNOW FROM THE VERY BEGINNING BEFORE WE START ANY DESIGN WORK, WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO SEE, WHAT MIGHT BE PROBLEM AREAS THAT THEY WANT REMEDIED AND WHAT THEY WANT THE AREA TO LOOK LIKE.
WHAT YOU GUYS DON'T LIKE, ANYTHING THAT YOU GUYS WANT CHANGED.
THAT'S THAT OPPORTUNITY THERE.
THE FOURTH TASK IS THE BROWNFIELDS VISION SITE REUSE ASSESSMENT AND REVITALIZATION STRATEGY.
THESE ARE THE PROPERTIES HERE IN BOOKER PARK THAT WERE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED TO BE FOCUSED ON.
AND WITH THIS, WE WOULD COME UP WITH A CONCEPT PLAN OF WHAT THE AREA COULD LOOK LIKE, WHAT IMPROVEMENTS MIGHT COULD OCCUR TO THE AREA, AND WHAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE TO GET THOSE IMPROVEMENTS DONE.
SO WE DON'T WANT TO COMPLETE A PLAN THAT IS NOT IMPLEMENTABLE.
SO IT WOULD HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS AND ACTION ITEMS TO CREATE TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT THAT VISION.
THIS HERE IS ZOOMED OUT OF BOOKER PARK.
SO THAT IS ONE THING WE WANTED TO DISCUSS TONIGHT.
WE'D LIKE YOUR FEEDBACK ON THAT.
AND TASK FIVE IS THE FUNDING RESOURCE ROADMAP.
SO WE KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T GO AFTER EVERYTHING.
SO IN THIS YOU CAN SEE THIS WAS DONE FOR ANOTHER COMMUNITY AND WE RANK.
WHAT'S YOUR LIKELIHOOD OF WINNING? SHOULD YOU REALLY PRIORITIZE IT OR IS IT A LOWER TIER ONE? A LOT OF THESE GRANTS ARE ANNUAL GRANTS.
AND THAT IS THE VERY QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE TASKS.
SO NEXT STEP IS REALLY TONIGHT CONFIRMING THE FOCUS AREA.
AND IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.
SO THE, THE I THE AREAS THAT THAT ARE THE FOCUS AREAS THAT IS JUST POTENTIAL, CORRECT.
[01:35:07]
THAT'S NOT PROVEN.YEAH. NO, THAT'S THAT'S THE FOCUS.
SO FOR HERE WE DON'T KNOW ANY IMPACTS RIGHT NOW.
YOU NEED TO DO AT LEAST AN INITIAL BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL.
WE THINK THAT SOME OF THEM COULD HAVE IMPACTS.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD FIND OUT THROUGH HISTORIC.
WAS THERE AGRICULTURE EVER RIGHT HERE? THAT'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AS WELL.
BUT RIGHT NOW, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THAT.
OKAY. SO THIS IS I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M UNDERSTANDING IT.
SO THIS ARE THESE ARE JUST AREAS THAT COULD HAVE POTENTIAL.
SO IF WE THINK THAT THE SITE MIGHT THE WHAT WE HAVE APPROVED RIGHT NOW IS JUST THE VERY INITIAL STAGE, AND THAT IS WHERE WE SAY IF WE THINK THERE MAY BE SOMETHING. SO IT'S A RECOGNIZED ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION.
OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I DID SEE THAT THERE IS AN ATTACHMENT IN OUR AGENDA IN REGARDS OF THE AWARD ANNOUNCEMENT.
YEAH, I DON'T HAVE THAT ON MY PRESENTATION.
I'M GOING TO BRING IT UP, BUT SORRY.
GO AHEAD WITH THE QUESTION. SORRY.
WELL, IT STATES THAT WE THE ASSESSMENT COST $500,000.
SO THAT WOULD BE FOR THE STUDY OR FOR.
SO THIS PORTION OF THE SCOPE I PRESENTED TONIGHT, THAT IS 87,000, THE GRANT IN ITS TOTALITY IS 500,000.
SO THAT IS WHAT THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL HAS.
AND IT'S KIND OF LIKE A BANK ACCOUNT AND IT'S SPLIT INTO FOUR CATEGORIES OF FUNDS.
OKAY. SO AS YEAH, SO AS THERE'S ADDITIONAL DEMANDS, THEN WE REQUEST MORE MONEY OUT OF THAT 500,000.
OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
AND A SECOND. IS THERE ANY FURTHER COUNCIL COMMENTS? ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO, MADAM MAYOR. OKAY.
ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
THANK YOU. LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ALL.
AND. OKAY, ON TO ITEM NUMBER EIGHT AND KIND OF NINE.

THESE ARE TWO KIND OF LITTLE CLEANUP ITEMS. THEY'RE LAWYER RELATED, SO I FIGURED I'D HANDLE IT.
SO BOTH EIGHT AND NINE ARE VERY MINOR REVISIONS TO THE AGREEMENTS FOR SPECIAL MAGISTRATE SERVICES WITH PAUL NICOLETTI AND WITH KEITH WILLIAMS. IT'S A LITTLE TWEAK TO WHAT WAS INITIALLY REQUESTED BY PAUL NICOLETTI BECAUSE HE HAD THOUGHT IT WAS IN THERE INITIALLY.
AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT WASN'T VERY COMMON PROVISION THAT WHEN YOU'VE GOT SPECIAL MAGISTRATE HEARINGS THAT THAT THE MINIMUM COMPENSATION FOR FOR ATTENDING THE HEARING WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF ONE HOUR.
ALL RIGHT. MOST OF THEIR HEARINGS GO WAY MORE THAN ONE HOUR.
SO THIS IS A DE MINIMIS CHANGE IN ANYTHING BUT IT'S FOR THAT, YOU KNOW, ONCE IN A WHILE INSTANCE WHERE YOU COME OUT FOR ONE HEARING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND IT ENDS UP BEING LESS THAN AN HOUR.
AGAIN, VERY COMMON PROVISION TO SAY IT'S ONE HOUR MINIMUM ON IT.
SO THE ITEM EIGHT MAKES THAT CHANGE FOR PAUL NICOLETTI'S CONTRACT.
[01:40:03]
ITEM NINE MAKES THE CHANGE FOR KEITH WILLIAMS, WHO IS OUR BACKUP SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IN THE EVENT THAT PAUL IS NOT AVAILABLE.WHEN WE MAY WANT TO WAIT A FEW MOMENTS FOR COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ TO COME BACK.
BUT DO WE HAVE DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MOTION MOTION HAS BEEN MADE BY VICE MAYOR STONE ON BOTH OF THE ISSUES.
CORRECT. OKAY. IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER PEREZ? IS THERE ANY FURTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION? GO AHEAD. ANY PUBLIC DISCUSSION? NO. NO MATTER. LET US GET A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND.
DID YOU HAVE ANY ANY COMMENTS OR NEED ANY CLARIFICATION ON ANYTHING ON 8 OR 9? NO, I'M GOOD. OKAY.
