COMMENTS ON THIS. DO WE HAVE A MOTION? ACTUALLY, I GOT A QUESTION, OKAY? UH SO

[00:35:10]

RECORD REGARDING THIS TUITION REIMBURSEMENT? YES, SIR. UM I'M ALL FOR IT. HOWEVER I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME KIND OF ACCOUNTABILITY. AS FAR AS I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD JUST PAY FOR SOMEONE'S EDUCATION AND THEN HAVE THEM QUICK QUIT AS SOON AS THEY GET THEIR CERTIFICATION.

THAT'S NOT UNCOMMON. WE COULD ACTUALLY INCLUDE THAT IN HERE. UM, I THINK THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING. WHERE THAT IF THEY LEAVE, THEN THEY'RE PRO. RATED TO SOME EXTENT IT WITHIN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, OKAY? OKAY NOW, JUST TO CLARIFY THAT WE'RE TALKING ON NOT THE TUITION, TUITION REIMBURSEMENT PORTION.

WANTS TO TAKE A PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS. THIS WOULD NOT COME BE COVERED. WHAT? WHAT DOES IT COVER? THEY WOULD NEED TO BE JOB. YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO BE JOB RELATED. THAT'S HOW I'VE SEEN THEM ALL STRUCTURED THEIR JOB. RELATED, UM IF THE EMPLOYEE DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED TO GO TO PHOTOGRAPHY SCHOOL, THIS WOULD NOT BE THE THINGS THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE VILLAGE OF THE WHOLE AND THE RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITY. OKAY GOOD. GOOD CLARIFICATION. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. YES THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. UM I DID SEE IT SAYS EMPLOYEE MUST REMAIN AND EMPLOYMENT OF THE VILLAGE FOR ONE YEAR, SO YOU DIDN'T INCLUDE THAT THAT WAS ON THE TUITION SIDE. BUT WE WERE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE CERTIFICATION.

IT'S SO HARD, THEY'RE LEAVING AT A FASTER RATE, AND IT WOULDN'T BE . YOU KNOW GOOD FOR THE VILLAGE BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY PAID THE FIRST CERTIFICATION. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS. YEAH EDUCATION IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING. SO IF YOU GO TO SCHOOL, AND YEAH. YOU DO WELL. YOU WORK FOR THE VILLAGE. WE SHOULD REWARD YOU FOR THAT. SO.

Discussion to sell Village of Indiantown Parcel Located at 15225 SW Warfiled Boulevard

]

ITEM NUMBER 11 DISCUSSION TO SELL VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN PARCEL LOCATED AT 15 2 TO 5 SOUTHWEST WAR FIELD BOULEVARD. YES, MA'AM, UM, AT THE VILLAGE COUNCILS MEETING ON FEBRUARY 23RD 2023. THE COUNCIL REQUESTS AN ITEM TO COME BACK TO DISCUSS SELLING THE PARCEL THAT WAS LOCATED AS YOU SAID AT 152 TO 5 SOUTHWEST. THE OLDEST STREET. THE VILLAGE HAD INQUIRED THAT PARCEL BACK IN 2020. AND WITH THE INTENT THAT THEY WOULD UTILIZE THAT SITE FOR A VILLAGE HALL FUTURE VILLAGE HALL. IMPOSSIBLE. AH! PLEASE THERE WAS PLACED. THERE WAS FIRE. THERE WERE A LOT OF OTHER ELEMENTS ON THERE. UM SO THE COUNCIL GAVE ME PERMISSION TO GET THE APPRAISALS. UPDATED. I REACHED OUT TO BOTH OF THE PRIOR PRAISE ALORS, AND ONLY ONE OF THEM RESPONDED, WHICH WAS CALLAWAY IN PRICE. AND BACK IN 29 LATE 1920 19. THEY HAD PRAISED THAT PARCEL INITIALLY FOR, UM WHEN I'M SORRY IN 2019. THEY HAD PRAISED THAT PARCEL FOR CLOSE TO 900,000.

THIS TIME THEY INITIALLY THE APPRAISAL THEY SENT TO US WAS APPRAISED AT 2 1,000,085.

285,000 BUT THEN WHEN THEY REALIZED THE DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT WERE ON THAT PARCEL, THERE ARE THREE D RESTRICTIONS. ONE IS, UM YOU CAN'T HAVE A GROCERY STORE. YOU CAN'T HAVE A GAS STATION AND YOU CAN'T HAVE A CONVENIENCE STORE THAT SELLS TO THE PUBLIC. IT WAS ALL RIGHT IF THEY WERE PROVIDING FOOD TO THE EMPLOYEES OF THE VILLAGE. UM SO THEN THEY MODIFIED THEIR, UM,

[00:40:05]

APPRAISAL TO BE 1.1 MILLION. THE COUNCIL WHEN THEY ACQUIRED THE PARCEL. THEY PAID 4 1,000,050.

AND THAT WAS BACK IN AUGUST OF 2020, SO TO PROCEED. I'M GOING TO TURN OVER TO MR VOS, WHO'S GOING TO GO OVER THE OPTIONS WITH YOU? AND WE JUST NEED SOME DIRECTION. HOW YOU WANT TO PROCEED. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBERS. I THINK WE BRIEFLY TOUCHED IT THE LAST TIME THIS CAME UP AS WELL, BUT I'LL GO OVER. THE GENERAL OPTIONS THAT YOU SEE IN OTHER MUNICIPALITIES WHEN YOU'VE GOT A PIECE OF LAND THAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO SELL, ONE IS TO ENGAGE AND LIST THE PROPERTY WITH A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BROKER. UM YOU'VE GOT VARIOUS OPTIONS ON HOW YOU CAN CHOOSE THAT BROKER. ONE OPTION MIGHT BE THE PUT OUT AN RFP IN EVALUATE THEIR QUALIFICATIONS AND PROPOSED PERCENTAGE COMMISSION. ANOTHER OPTION IS NOT TO HAVE A HAVE IT LISTED WITH COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BROKER BUT TO ADVERTISE AND ACCEPT SEALED BIDS DUE BY A SPECIFIED DATE. AND YOU COULD HAVE A RESERVATION THAT THE VILLAGE CAN REJECT. ALL BIDS.

YOU CAN ANNOUNCE A FLOOR PRICE. AH THAT OPTIONS ALONG THOSE LINES. YOU CAN DO AN RFP PROCESS , WITH POTENTIAL BUYERS PROPOSING BOTH THE PURCHASE PRICE AND INTENDED USE. HOWEVER I WILL CAUTION YOU THAT THAT TENDS TO BE SITUATIONS WHERE YOU'VE GOT VERY CLEAR GOALS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PARCEL THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE ACCOMPLISHED AS OPPOSED TO A PARCEL WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT USES THAT COULD BE USEFUL, DEPENDING ON WHAT A BUYER MAY WANT TO DO.

UM OR YOU COULD DO A COMBINATION OF THESE OPTIONS JUST RECENTLY IN THE CITY I REPRESENT, UH THEY DID BOTH ENGAGE A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BROKER TO MARKET THE PROPERTY AND ALSO ACTUALLY HANDLED THE RECEIVING THE OFFERS THROUGH A SEALED BID AND SPECIFIED DATE PROCESS SO YOU CAN MIX AND MATCH SOME OF THIS HERE. THE GUIDANCE THAT STAFF IS LOOKING FOR IS WHAT AVENUE YOU'D LIKE TO GO. WHAT SORT OF PARAMETERS YOU'D LIKE TO PUT ON IT. IF IT'S THE PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD, SO WE WOULD WELCOME ANY DISCUSSION IN DIRECTION. THANK YOU. DOES ANYBODY HAVE. ANY THOUGHTS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SHARE. YEAH, I'LL GO. OKAY BYE. SMEAR YEAH, SO THE FIRST THING IS, IF WE'RE GOING TO SELL THIS PROPERTY, WE CAN'T THAN WHAT WE. UH, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE GOOD BUSINESS SENSE. AND THE SECOND THING I REALLY DON'T THINK IT'S A BAD IDEA TO KEEP IT. BECAUSE THAT COULD BE A NICE SPOT FOR A NEW FIRE STATION IN THE FUTURE. YOU KNOW IF WE'RE GONNA BE DEVELOPING, WE'RE GONNA NEED A PLACE FOR FIRE STATION. SO JUST SOMETHING FOR COUNCILOR. THINK ABOUT THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? THE COUNCIL MEMBER DEPAULA. YES, I THINK WE SHOULD SELL IT. I THINK WE SHOULD PUT A PRICE TAG AT 3.25 MILLION ON IT. I THINK IT WILL SELL, AND I THINK YOU'LL HAVE A BIDDING WAR ON IT. I THINK IT SHOULD BE A MIXED USE COMMERCIAL. RESIDENTIAL UM BIG ENOUGH TO HAVE SEVERAL BUILDINGS ON IT. SO WE NEED RESTAURANTS. I KNOW A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD PROBABLY OPEN A RESTAURANT. BUT, UM. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE EVER BEEN DOWN LIKE P G A. THEY GOT ALL THESE NICE LITTLE BUILDINGS WITH COMMERCIAL ON THE FIRST FLOOR RESIDENTIAL ON THE 2ND AND 3RD THAT WOULD THAT WOULD LOOK PERFECT RIGHT THERE AND I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD SELL OURSELVES SHORT AGAIN. 3.25 IS I THINK A GOOD NUMBER FOR IT. AND I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE IT TO OUR LOCAL REAL ESTATE AGENT. SO. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER PEREZ. SO IF WE DO AGREE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THIS THE PROCEEDS OF ITS LOVE. THE SALE WILL GO TO WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT COULD WE USE IT FOR THE WATER, OR DO WE HAVE TO IS IT RESTRICTED? ON THIS CAPITAL.

IT'S I MEAN, THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES, BUT WE ARE MOVING FORWARD TRYING TO AS WE PURSUE ANOTHER WATER PLANT. WHEN WE TALKED TO THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, THEY SUGGESTED THAT WE CO LOCATE THAT. THAT WOULD BE THAT THEN WE GET SOME ECONOMIES, SOME EFFICIENCIES AND ECONOMIES, THE

[00:45:01]

PSYCHIC OF, SAY. SCALE AND SO, UM THAT'S THE DIRECTION WE'RE MOVING ON, WAS TO LOOK AND I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT ON THAT GATEWAY YOU WOULD WANT NECESSARILY TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT RIGHT THERE, BUT IT'S A GOOD I MEAN, IT'S A GOOD THOUGHT, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE WE OWN IT. BUT I THINK THAT SELLING IT AND GETTING IT BACK ON THE TAX ROLL WAS KIND OF THE CONVERSATION WE HAD BEFORE. AND COUNCIL MEMBERS JUST TO BE CLEAR YET THE PROCEEDS THAT WOULD COME IN COULD BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY MUNICIPAL ISSUES. IT'S NOT LOCKED INTO HAS TO GO ANOTHER LAND THAT HAS TO GO INTO SOME PARTICULAR THING. THERE ARE SOMETIMES YOU KNOW THINGS WE SELL OR WHAT HAVE YOU THAT'S LOCKED INTO A CERTAIN WAY. THAT'S NOT THE CASE OF THESE PROCEEDS. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. SO IT'S OBVIOUS I'M ONE OF THOSE THAT DOESN'T WANT TO SELL, BECAUSE LET'S JUST SAY A HOUSE YOU BUY 100,019, 2000 SOMETHING AND THEN NOW IT'S NOT VALUE THAT THAT THAT PART OF THAT PIECE OF LAND IS, UH, PRIME , OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, OUR COMMUNITY WANTS COMMUNITY CENTER . EVERYONE KEEPS ON SAYING THIS VILLAGE HALL. YEAH, THAT WAS PROJECTIONS, BUT COMMUNITY CENTER. I THINK WE CAN GO WITH THE AVENUES OF TRYING. YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE HAD RESIDENTS SAY THERE'S NO PLACE TO HAVE UH, UM . EVENTS HERE. THERE'S NO THERE'S NO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. WE WANT REX AND EVERYTHING. BUT YET WE DON'T HAVE A CENTER TO HAVE THEM. UM SO WHY? WHY SO WE CAN SIT ON IT. UM I UNDERSTAND.

YOU KNOW HOW RIGHT NOW? IF YOU CONSTRUCT CONSTRUCTION PRICES ARE LIKE. UP THE ROOF IN THE FUTURE. IT'S GOING TO BE MUCH MORE SO WE MIGHT AS WELL START PROJECTING FOR IT NOW OR HAVING A PLAN FOR IT. UM, BUT IF WE WANT TO SELL, I DO THINK THAT WE NEED TO, UM GO WITH SOMEONE EXPERIENCE. UM WE DO NEED TO DO I THINK A BIDDING UM, LET'S ADVERTISING. THE SUB SEALED BEDS WOULD WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT I'D BE IDEAL FOR, UM, BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, I THINK ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE KEEPING THE LAND AND THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE. I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT FIVE YEARS. 10 YEARS. YOU KNOW, I'M I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW OLD I AM. I'M 31.

AND I STILL HAVE, YOU KNOW. KIDS TO HAVE AND DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW , WE WANT OUR RESIDENTS ARE ASKING US AND THIS HAS BEEN FROM DAY ONE. YEAH WE HAVE A LOT TO DO. PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND.

IT'S NOT EASY IN GOVERNMENT. EVERYTHING IS SUPER SLOW LIKE WHEN I TELL YOU EVERYTHING IS SUPER SLOW. IT'S SUPER SLOW, BUT WE'LL GET THERE ONE DAY. AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO SAY, HEY, WE HAVE THIS COMMUNITY CENTER. WE CAN INVEST INTO A COMMUNITY. UM BUT IF YOU GUYS WANT TO, SO GO AHEAD AND SELL, BUT I THINK DON'T DOING THE BIDDING THE ADVERTISING THE SEPTUM SEALED BEDS, UM, WOULD BE CONVENIENT FOR US, UM, IN REGARDS OF THAT, BUT DON'T SELL. I'VE HAD PEOPLE TELL ME. YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT HOUSE YOU BOUGHT FIVE YEARS AGO HAS THE SAME VALUE. DOESN'T IT ACTUALLY COSTS MORE NOW? SOME PEOPLE I KNOW SO I BOUGHT A HOUSE FIVE YEARS AGO IN PSL.

THEY SOLD IT FOR MORE AND NOW ARE LIVING IN ANY IN TOWN. SO YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST THE WAY YOU YOU. YOU YOU SEE IT. PEOPLE WILL CRITICIZE ME. I DON'T CARE, BUT I'M JUST SAYING THE REALITY IS YOU HAVE ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR FUTURE, YOU TO THINK ABOUT WHICH I'M 31. I'M GONNA STAY HERE AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE FUTURE GENERATIONS TO THINK ABOUT AND SOME PEOPLE WILL NOT BE HERE TO SEE THAT FUTURE GENERATION. UM SO THEY'RE NOT THINKING ABOUT THAT THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT THE PRESENT. UM SO THAT'S MY TWO CENTS. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. UM. I AGREE WITH EVERYBODY ELSE AS FAR AS SETTING A FLOOR UH, SEALED BID OR A YOU KNOW THE SETTING THE FLOOR DOING A MINIMUM. HAVE THE OPTIONS, YOU KNOW, GO WITH A BROKER. JUST AS LONG AS I THINK WE SAID THAT

[00:50:01]

FLOOR. WE DO THE MINIMUM. UM THEN WE CAN WORK OUT THE REST OF IT. AND WE TALKED ABOUT RIGHT NOW VERSUS THE FUTURE. AND I THINK THAT. RIGHT NOW WE DO HAVE TO CONSIDER THE FUTURE THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE A FUTURE IF WE CANNOT PROVIDE THE INFRASTRUCTURE. AND RIGHT NOW THE MONEY IS DESPERATELY NEEDED. FOR WATER. BECAUSE WE CAN IF WE ARE INTISSAR PAINTING A NEW HOMES. NEW BUSINESSES. WE HAVE. TO WE HAVE TO PROVIDE WATER. AND WE WHEN WE WENT BEFORE OUR LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION. WITH OUR REQUEST WITH OUR ASKS, WE HAD THE BACKBONE THAT IS CAST IRON OR CAT. IS THAT WHAT IT IS CAST IRON? THAT'S GOING TO COST US SEVEN POINT SOMETHING MILLION DOLLARS. I STOOD THERE AND THEY ASKED OH, AND SO YOU'RE ASKING FOR MATCHING WE HAVE NOTHING TO MATCH. WE HAVE NOTHING TO MATCH IN ORDER FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD AND HAVE A FUTURE WE HAVE TO THINK OF THAT. AND I THINK THAT THIS, UM WOULD GET GET IT LIKE BACK THAT THE ADVANTAGE ARE OF IT IS IT'S YOU KNOW CASH THAT WE ARE ABLE TO UTILIZE FOR PROJECTS THAT WE NEED IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD. TO, UM. TO PROVIDE WHAT OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS IN ORDER TO GET MORE. TAX. REVENUE IN TO GET IT MORE ON THE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, OKAY, GET IT BACK ON THE ROLLS. AND THEN, OKAY, YOU'VE GOT INCOME THERE WELL IN ORDER FOR IT, AND THEN YOU GET MORE. PROVIDING WATER AND MORE VOLUME , AND THEN WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR HOMES AND EVERYTHING ELSE, SO I THINK OUR BASIC NEEDS. ARE GREATER THAN OUR WANTS. AND I THINK RIGHT NOW THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF MORE OF A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE. I GET IT. HANG ON TO IT. I GET IT, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, HANGING ONTO IT, WE HAVE HAMSTRUNG OURSELVES. WE HAVE WE HAVE PUT HANDCUFFS ON OURSELVES BECAUSE WE HAVE. WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. WE'RE NOT BRINGING IN ANY MORE TAXES OFF OF IT. AND WE HAVE WE HAVE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE TO. WE HAVE TO PROVIDE FOR AND I THINK THAT THAT IS THAT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY, AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT. SO THAT IS THAT'S THE WAY THAT I SEE IT. UM . DOES DOING DOING HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE. PUBLIC COMMENT LIST. HERE'S SOME PUBLIC COMMENT . YES, MADAM MAYOR FIRST WE NEED A PRESSLER. HELLO MY NAME IS RENADA PRESSLER AND I'M A RESIDENT. I DON'T THINK THAT YOU SHOULD SELL THIS VERY VALUABLE AND STRATEGICALLY LOCATED CENTRALLY LOCATED FIVE ACRE PROPERTY. THERE IS NO PROPERTY LIKE IT. UM. FOR THE MONEY THAT YOU THINK YOU NEED. I THOUGHT THE DEVELOPERS WERE GOING TO BE PAYING FOR THESE CONNECTIONS, RIGHT? SO WHY DON'T YOU ROLL THIS PROPERTY INTO YOUR NEXT ITEM NUMBER 13 INTO THE COMMUNITY PARKS PLANT, AT LEAST FOR NOW. YOU WILL NEED THIS PROPERTY IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT WHEN DID NOT COME . FOR THE RECORD. LONDON MIGHT CALM, UM QUESTION AND COMMENT.

UM THE RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE ON THAT PROPERTY WITH NO CONVENIENCE STORE, NO GROCERY STORE, NO GAS STATION. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ORIGINATED FROM , EXCEPT BY THE SELLER OF THE PROPERTY ORIGINALLY, BUT ARE THESE. WRITTEN IN CONCRETE. ARE THEY IN STONE? IS THERE ANY WAY TO CHANGE THOSE RESTRICTIONS. UM AND SECONDLY, THE DIFFERENCE IN . PURCHASE PRICE AND THE POTENTIAL SALES PRICE I HONESTLY THINK WILL BE RECOUPED. JUST IN THE PROPERTY TAXES ON THAT PROPERTY WITHIN A NUMBER OF YEARS. RIGHT NOW, IT'S NOT ON THE TEXT ROLE. IT'S NOT DOING US. ANY GOOD AT ALL. SO, UM BUT I WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THE RESTRICTIONS CAN BE LIFTED.

WE MIGHT HAVE BETTER POTENTIAL FOR GETTING MORE MONEY OUT OF THAT PROPERTY. THANK YOU. THANK

[00:55:01]

YOU. THAT'S ALL, MADAM. HERE. THANK YOU. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS ANY OTHER THOUGHTS OR EMOTION? I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LOT, BUT BUSINESS WISE. FOR THE VILLAGE. TO THINK THEY'RE GONNA PUT SOMETHING THERE. IT WOULD JUST BE A BAD BUSINESS DECISION.

YOU DON'T NEED A FIRE STATION AND MORE FIELD BOULEVARD. YOU DON'T NEED DIRECT CENTER ON WAR FIELD BOULEVARD. THERE'S OTHER PROPERTY IN THE INTERIOR. THAT YOU CAN OBTAIN FOR WHOLE LOT LESS MONEY. AND I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR. 1000% SO I WILL MAKE THE MOTION. AND WHAT IS THAT A LOT.

OKAY DO WE NEED MORE OF A WE'D LIKE SOME PARAMETERS. OKAY YEAH . STAFF LOOKING FOR DIRECTION AS TO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO PREP UP AND START DOING BESIDES JUST SELLING IT. WHETHER WE HAVE A FLOOR WHAT THAT FLOOR IS. AND HOW WE PROCEED. I THINK, GIVING IT TO A COMMERCIAL REALTOR OR REALTOR WOULD PROBABLY DO US THE BEST JUSTICE. UM. IF WE WANT TO GET THE MOST AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR IT. SO. WHEN YOU DO THINGS WITH THE SEALED BIDS, SO YOU DO A SEALED BID AND YOU KNOW, MAYBE ANOTHER ONE WILL COME IN. THAT'S BETTER, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEBODY WORKING IT. AND ADVERTISING IT AND SELLING IT. I THINK WE DO A WHOLE LOT BETTER. OKAY I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I HAVE THIS CORRECT. YOUR MOTION IS TO MOVE FORWARD. TO LOOK AT SELLING. PLACE IT WITH A COMMERCIAL REALTOR. AND WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT A FLOOR. IS THAT A PART OF YOUR MOTION OR NOT? WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT A FLOOR IS THERE A MINIMUM THAT WE ARE GOING TO REQUIRE. YEAH. 3.25 MILLION. OKAY. ARE THERE ANY OTHER CONDITIONS. IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH PARAMETERS. I THINK IT'S ENOUGH TO T UP TO OKAY? YEAH, OKAY. OKAY, SO WE HAVE EMOTION. DOES EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND THE MOTION? MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S UNDERSTANDING THE MOTION. OKAY? IS THERE? IS THERE A SECOND FOR THAT MOTION? OKAY? WE HAVE NO SECOND, SO IT DIES FOR LACK OF SECOND. IS THERE ANOTHER MOTION? THE MAYOR FOR ME. YES SIR. PLEASE PEOPLE THAT WOULD LIKE TO DO PUBLIC COMMENTS. YOU, MADAM MAYOR. WE DO HAVE TWO MORE PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT JUST CAME UP IF YOU WANT TO ENTERTAIN THEM. YEAH, SURE. OKAY THANK YOU. UM, HOW DO YOU DOVE? HEIDI DOUGH FOR THE RECORD, UM SO WHEN I WAS HEARING THE QUESTION ASKS ABOUT THE FUNDS. IF YOU WERE TO SELL THIS PROPERTY. WOULD YOU TELL THE PUBLIC ON EXACTLY WHERE AND HOW THOSE FUNDS ARE GONNA GO? BECAUSE I FEAR WE SAY WATER, AND I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY PARKS, WHICH I KNOW ARE PARKS NEED THEM THAT I KNOW. SO HOW WILL WE LET OUR PUBLIC KNOW IF THAT'S THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT PROJECTING. WE JUST DON'T WANT TO SAY SELL IT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN NOW WE WANT TO DO ALL THIS OTHER STUFF, SO WOULD YOU INVOLVE THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW HOW YOU'RE GOING TO PLAN ON SPENDING THE MONEY AND EXACTLY WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO FOR TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES? THANK YOU. HMM. AND GEORGE PALMER. GEORGE PALMER. FOR THE RECORD, UM. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO KEEP THE PROPERTY. IT'S NOT COLLECTING ANY TAX DOLLARS TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. BUSINESS WISE. I UNDERSTAND THAT, AND I AGREE WITH THE, UH COUNCIL MEMBER OF THE APOLLO THE DEBT. YOU CAN ALWAYS BUY PROPERTY IN THE INTERIOR TO BUILD A FIRE STATION TO DO A COMMUNITY CENTER. BUT WHEN YOU GOT PRIME PROPERLY RIGHT IN TOWN. YOU WANT THAT FOR SOME TYPE OF BUSINESS? YOU WANT TO ATTRACTS BUSINESS TO COME IN THAT WOULD HELP BENEFIT

[01:00:04]

THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. BUT THE HOLD ONTO LAND THAT IS NOT COLLECTING ANY TAXES DOES JUST DOESN'T MAKE GOOD BUSINESS SENSE. AT ALL. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL MAN TO ME. OKAY? SO DO WE HAVE ANOTHER MOTION? OH MAKE A MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION EVEN THOUGH I DON'T WANT TO SELL, BUT I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO SELL BUT TO ADVERTISE AND ACCEPT SEALED BIDS DUE BY A SPECIFIC SPECIFIED DATE WITH A RESERVATION THAT THE VILLAGE CAN REJECT ORBITS. AND THE FLOOR WOULD BE WHAT WE PURCHASE. THE PURCHASE AMOUNT. MINIMUM. SO SELL SEALED BIDS. WITH A RIGHT TO REFUSE. YEAH, IT'S NUMBER TWO AND PACKET. OKAY? WITH THE FLOOR OF THE 1.45. YES. BECAUSE THEN THE VILLAGE WOULDN'T BE LOSING ANY MONEY. OKAY? DO WE HAVE A SECOND ON THAT ONE? ALL SECOND IT IF YOU HAD A COUPLE OF $100,000 TO THAT WHEN YOU MEAN 100,000 HOW MUCH. AND THAT'S THAT'S HER MOTION IS 1.45. LET'S JUST SAY 1.5. SO THAT'S NOT EVEN 100,000 OK? 1.6651 POINT 65. AMEND MY MOTION TO SAY 1.65. I'LL SECOND THAT OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION. MADE AND IT HAS BEEN SECONDED.

UM, DISCUSSION ON THAT. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE SELLING OURSELVES SHORT. I REALLY DON'T. WHY? WHY YOU'RE LEAVING MONEY ON THE TABLE? WE NEED THE MONEY. I BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE AT THE 3.25. THAT'S A STARTING POINT. I BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE A BIDDING WAR ON THAT LOT. AND WE ARE JUST LEAVING MONEY ON THE TABLE WHEN WE NEED THE MONEY.

LIKE NO TOMORROW. I MEAN, WHY ARE WE STARTING LOVE? WHY? IT'S A PRIME PIECE OF PROPERTY. IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST PIECES OF PROPERTY WHEN YOU COME OVER THE BRIDGE THAT YOU SHOULD YOU COMING INTO INDIAN TOWN. DEVELOPERS WILL PAY FOR THAT. PREMIUM DOLLARS FOR IT, AND WE'RE SELLING OURSELVES SHORT. YOU WANT TO DO A TWO MILLION HANGING ON LET'S GET LET'S GET LET'S GET COMMENTS ON WHAT WE'VE GOT GOING HERE.

AND THAT IS KIND OF COMES AND THE REASON I KIND OF GOT EXCITED ABOUT IT, AND ACTUALLY, I TALKED TO KAREN WHEN I FIRST WALKED IN THE DOOR. IS THIS WAS A CONVERSATION IN OUR LAST COMMISSION MEETING ABOUT MAKING OUR MARDI BUS STOPS MORE USER FRIENDLY AND PUTTING THEM IN PLACES THAT PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY USE THEM. SO. SO WHATEVER WE DO IF WE CAN CARVE OUT AN EASEMENT FOR THAT AND IT AND IT WOULD ACTUALLY I THINK, ENHANCE THE SELLING POINT BECAUSE YOU'RE BRINGING THE PUBLIC STRAIGHT TO THEIR DOOR. WHATEVER THEY PUT THEIR THEN THERE WILL BE A BEST STOP RIGHT THERE. THAT'LL BRING THEM RIGHT TO THEIR DOOR. SO YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. NOLAN DO THAT DOES THE JENKINS POINT PLEASE? SURE NOLAN FOR THE RECORD. PART OF THE REASON I'M ALREADY BUS STOP IS NOT HAPPENED IS BECAUSE OF FUNDING WE NEED ABOUT

[01:05:04]

$100,000 ON TOP OF THE $60,000 FOR THE ROAD. SO YOU ADD THAT TO THE MATCH FOR THE 550 WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. AND THE MATCH FOR ANYTHING ELSE WE DO WE HAVE THE UPTOWN DRAINAGE PROJECT THAT WE HAVE A MATCH FOR. THAT'S $350,000, SO WE HAVE PROBABLY A MILLION DOLLARS IN MATCHES. THAT WE HAVE TO HONOR IN THE FUTURE THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS BECAUSE OF PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE IN THE PIPELINE. AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO DO THE MARTY BUS STATION, I BELIEVE IT WAS ABOUT $125,000.

AND WE'RE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COUNTY TO COME UP WITH THAT MONEY. BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE IT AND WE ALSO WE APPROPRIATED 60,000 FOR THE ROAD . WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THE ROAD YET BECAUSE WE WANT TO DO THE MARTY BUS STOP. SO IF YOU SELL THE PROPERTY FOR THE 3.2 MILLION, YOU'LL HAVE MONEY FOR THE BUS. STOP THE ROAD AND ALL THE MATCHES 3.25 AND I BELIEVE FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD. YOU WILL SELL IT FOR THE 3.25. I THOUGHT MR DIPAOLO WAS KIND OF THERE WHEN HE SPOKE ABOUT THIS A MONTH AGO, I THOUGHT HIS PRICE WAS HIGH. BUT THEN BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS AFTER HAVING CONVERSATIONS AND WE REALLY DO NEED THE MONEY FOR OUR MATCH OBLIGATIONS AND SOME OF THE PROJECTS WE'D LIKE TO DO LIKE THE BUS STOP. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR I'LL BUY IT MYSELF. I'LL BRING YOU A CHECK TOMORROW. WELL HERE'S HERE'S THE THING. THE MOTION THAT HAS BEEN MADE. I DID THE MOTION. SO IS THERE ANY FIRST OF ALL, I HAD A QUESTION FOR MR BOTH. CAN WE DO? DO WE INCLUDE THAT COMMISSIONER JENKINS AND OUR MOTION TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MARTY BUSTER EASEMENT. WE CAN GO AHEAD AND DO THAT. ABSOLUTELY IF YOU JUST WANT TO STATE THAT THAT'S INCLUDED IN YOUR MOTION. I'M SURE THAT WOULD BE FUN. OKAY, SO THAT'S INCLUDED IN MY MOTION SECOND. IS THIS WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS IS MINIMUM CORRECT. WHERE IT CAN. IT CAN GO IF. IF SOMEONE IF IT'S A BIDDING WAR, I COULD GO TO MORE THAN WHAT WE EXPECT. YEAH BUT LET ME LET CAN IF YOU HAVE A SEALED BID, THEY HAVE NO IDEA. HOW ARE THEY GOING TO WAR IT OUT A SEALED BID AND ONCE AGAIN HANDCUFFS YOUR HANDS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SOMEBODY ELSE HAS BED SO EVERYBODY COULD COME IN LOW AND YOU MAY NOT EVEN GET THE 3.25. OKAY YEAH. I MEAN, IF YOUR FLOORS AT 1.65 SO. OH SORRY, COUNCILOR. YOU GO AHEAD WAS JUST GONNA OFFER AND THANK YOU. I'M I'M GLAD THIS DYNAMIC HAS COME OUT BECAUSE. DIFFERENT SALES METHODS. WORK WELL FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROPERTY. ALRIGHT, IF ONE TRULY ANTICIPATES THERE MIGHT BE A BIDDING WAR. SEED SEALED BED DOES NOT ENCOURAGE BIDDING WARS BECAUSE BIDDING WARDS ONLY RESULT FROM OPEN SHARED INFORMATION. RIGHT SO HOW CAN WE DO IT? UH YEAH, IT'S LIKE LIKE AN AUCTION RIGHT IT. BIDDING WAR IS LIKE AN AUCTION IN SLOW MOTION. IF YOU WILL, UM, THERE ARE ACTUALLY AUCTIONS OF REAL PROPERTY AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW THAT. THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY TO SUGGEST TO YOU, UM TYPICALLY WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING. IF YOU HAVE A PROCESS, NOT A SEALED BID PROCESS IS, UM YOU KNOW, YOU'D HAVE MULTIPLE OFFERS. COME IN AND JUST TAKE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAD A BROKER THAT BROKER WOULD SHARE HEY, I GOT THIS OFFER HERE. WELL I WANT TO DO THIS AND YOU GET A BIDDING WAR JUST AS YOU SEE FOR A HOUSE JUST AS YOU SEE FOR WHAT HAVE YOU THE OTHER THING I WOULD OFFER. JUST AS A THOUGHT. IF THERE IS A THOUGHT THAT THAT THERE IS A CAPACITY FOR A SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER PRICE. KEEP IN MIND THAT WHATEVER PRICE YOU PUT ON A PROPERTY OR, UM OR WHATEVER FLOOR YOU PUT ON A PROPERTY. THAT'S A MARKET SIGNAL. ALRIGHT THAT'S TECHNICAL TOURNAMENT. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SENDING OUT INTO THE WORLD TELLING THEM. HEY WE THINK IT'S WORTH AT LEAST THIS MUCH ALRIGHT. WHEN YOU SEND OUT SAME THING IF YOU'RE SELLING A HOUSE, RIGHT IF YOU HAD A HOUSE THAT YOU THINK IS WORTH $600,000 ALRIGHT AND YOU PUT IT ON THE MARKET FOR 3 50. IT'S NOT GOING TO HIT 600. IT MIGHT. IT MIGHT BE UP TO 4 50, YOU KNOW, SO AGAIN. I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY FINGER ON THE SCALE ON ANYTHING ON ANY OF THIS, BUT I JUST WANT TO THROW THAT OUT THERE SEALED BIDS, NOT GOING TO GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A BIDDING WAR. LET ME WITHDRAW MY MOTION. BECAUSE THAT'S NOT CONVENIENT

[01:10:01]

AND THIS OPTION BECAUSE WE NEED THE MONEY. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. 3.25 GIVE IT TO A BROKER. WITH THE EASEMENT. YES YES, BUSSES. WHEN YOU HAVE A BROKER, YOU CAN NEGOTIATE THROUGH A BROKER. ALSO WE CAN PROBABLY GET THE ROAD DONE AND WE COULD PROBABLY GET THE MARTY BUS DONE AND WE COULD PROBABLY GET A LOT OF THINGS DONE. IT'S CALLED NEGOTIATION. OKAY? SO WE HAVE. THE MOTION HAS BEEN REMOVED. WE HAVE A NEW MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER APOLLO. UH OF COMMERCIAL REALTOR. 3.25 MILLION IS THE FLOOR. WITH THE BUS EASEMENT. IN THERE WITH IT. DOES THAT COVER EVERYTHING? JUST QUESTION. OKAY HANG ON. JUST A MOMENT. PLEASE LET ME ASK ONE CLARIFYING THING REAL QUICK. SO WHEN WE'RE LISTENING WITH A BROKER WHAT. A FLOOR IS A CONCEPT AS WELL. BUT IT IT WITH THAT WITH 3.25 BR LIST PRICE HMM . THAT'S GONNA BE THE QUESTION OF BROKERS GOING TO ASK, YOU KNOW WHAT'S OUR LIST? PRICE SO, YEAH, I THINK FOR THESE PURPOSES , PROBABLY AROUND EQUIVALENT, SO OKAY. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT. I'M SORRY. COUNCIL MEMBER.

UH IT DOES STAY HERE. HUH? HOW GOD. QUALIFICATIONS EXPERTISE WITH THE BROKER. HOW HOW DO WE SELECT THE BROKER? IS THIS? DOES IT HAVE TO BE IN THIS MOTION? IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE IN THIS VERY MOTION. BUT WE WOULD ASK YOU TO DECIDE IF WE'RE GOING TO PRESS GO. WE'D ASK YOU TO DO IT NOW DECIDE TONIGHT, UM OR OR I'M NOT SAYING WHO I'M SAYING HOW, UM THEIR QUALIFICATION. YES I THINK MORE IMPORTANT THAN QUALIFICATION IS BECAUSE COMMERCIAL BROKERS, A COMMERCIAL BROKERS, A COMMERCIAL BROKER, I THINK WE OUGHT TO BE LOOKING AT WHAT THE PERCENTAGE IS GOING TO BE. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TO BE LOOKING AT. WE'RE TALKING MONEY HERE. IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY, AND IT MAY MAKE IT MAY MAKE SENSE FOR YOU TO KIND OF HAVE TO DISCUSSIONS GOING TO GO TO DOWN THE ROUTE. HEY, LET'S LISTEN WITH THE BROKER WITH THE TERMS YOU'VE HEARD DO THAT, AND THEN YOU CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION. THE DISCUSSION YOU JUST STARTED RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO MIX THE TWO OF THEM UP IN JUST A SECOND. YOU HAVE TO DISCUSSION ON PRECISELY. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CHOOSE A BROKER SECOND? THAT MOTION. SO THAT MOTION. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND IT. THE MOTION IS TWO. GO WITH A COMMERCIAL REALTOR. FLOOR OF 3.25 MILLION.

AND INCLUDE THE BUS EASEMENT CONSIDERATION IN THAT MOTION HAS BEEN MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER APOLLO HAS BEEN SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. IS THERE ANY MORE COUNCIL DISCUSSION? IS THERE ANY MORE PUBLIC DISCUSSION? NO MATTER, MAN. WOW OKAY, LET'S GET LET'S DO A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THIS PLACE. ABSOLUTELY COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. YES COUNCIL MEMBERS, APOLLO COUNCIL MEMBER PEREZ. YES. MR STONE? YES. MARY GIBBS. THOMAS YES. OKAY, SO NOW WE WANT TO PUT A FINER POINT TO IT. AND TALK ABOUT COMMERCIAL REALTOR. HOW WOULD YOU? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO ABOUT CHOOSING? UH REAL ESTATE BROKER. NOT LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR NOW. OK, DOKEY. UH I THINK WE SHOULD REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION AS WELL. AS, UH PERCENTAGE AS FAR AS THE COMMISSION. COMMISSION PERCENTAGE. WHAT? THEY'RE WHAT THEY'RE REQUIRED, OKAY? SO EMOTION HAS BEEN MADE THAT SECOND LET ME REVIEW THE MOTION, PLEASE. THE MOTION HAS BEEN MADE BY VICE MAYOR STONE. TO ASK FOR QUALIFICATIONS. ALSO THOSE ALSO , UM COMMISSION ALSO THE INFORMATION ON THEIR COMMISSION PERCENTAGE. AND I SAID EVERYTHING RIGHT? ARE THEY MARKETED? REVIEWS. YEAH. SO THEY PASSED. OKAY WELL, I'M SURE THAT WILL BE A PART OF THEIR QUALIFICATIONS. OKAY SO WE HAVE EMOTION BEEN HAS BEEN MADE BY VICE MAYOR SPOT STONE THAT HAS BEEN SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. YES, MA'AM. MAYOR YES, SIR. COULD I JUST ASK CLARIFYING QUESTION ON THAT MENTIONED REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS. I'D SUGGEST

[01:15:01]

ASSAULTS. TECHNICAL TERMS, SUGGESTS PROBABLY A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT I HEARD IN IT WAS WAS THE COMPONENTS WOULD BE UM, QUALIFICATIONS. PROPOSAL OF MARKETING PLAN AND PERCENTAGE, UH, PERCENTAGE PROPOSED. FINE POINT WOULD BE THE THREE PIECES THEY WOULD SUBMIT HIM. YOU'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THEM. YOU CHOOSE SOMEBODY. OKAY? THAT'S THAT'S THE MOTION THE SECOND AGREE WITH THAT? YES, OKAY. IS THERE ANY MORE COUNCIL DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS? MOVING FORWARD. IS THERE ANY MORE PUBLIC COMMENT? NO MATTER, MAN. OKAY LET'S DO A REAL CALL ON THIS ONE, TOO. YES, MA'AM. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ YES, COUNCIL MEMBER OF APOLLO COUNCIL MEMBER PREZ? YES. SMEAR STONE? YES. GIBBS. THOMAS YES. OKAY DOES THAT TAKE HIT ALL THE EVERYTHING THAT STAFF NEEDS IN ORDER TO PROCEED AND MOVE FORWARD, OKAY. WHERE I WOULD ANTICIPATE IT WOULD GO IS NEXT STEP IS AN RFP WOULD BE PUT OUT , PROBABLY WITH PROBABLY WITH A SHORT VIEWS ON IT WOULDN'T BE ON THE STREET 30 DAYS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I MEAN, AND THAT JUST CAME TO ME. OKAY IF YOU PUT YOUR RFP UP WHEN WE GET A REALTOR, ARE WE GOING TO PUT A TIMEFRAME ON THE REALTOR? OF BY THIS DATE. OH YES. I MEAN, PUTTING OUT AN RFP AND SAY YOU GOTTA YOU GOTTA SUBMIT YOUR RESPONSE BY X DATE, RIGHT? NO BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT ONCE WE ACTUALLY ONCE WE ACTUALLY GET A BROKER, AND IT'S TURNED OVER TO THEM. THEN WE SAY , OKAY, YOU'VE GOT 90 DAYS YOU GOT 100 AND 80 DAYS? YES LET LET ME THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MAN. LET ME TAKE YOU THROUGH THIS NEXT STEPS, UM, WHERE IT WOULD GO. SO WE GO THROUGH THE STEPS YOU GET IN SOME PROPOSALS THAT SHOW THEIR QUALIFICATIONS WHERE THEY PLAN TO MARKET IT AND WHAT THEIR PERCENTAGES UM AND YOU LOOK AT THEM ALL YOU CHOOSE SOMEBODY IT WILL BE AT THAT POINT THAT YOU'D ENTER INTO A WELL COME BACK TO ME TO WORK WITH THEM TO PREPARE A LISTING AGREEMENT. ALL RIGHT, AND THEN THAT LISTING AGREEMENT COME BACK BEFORE YOU AND THE LISTING AGREEMENT WOULD SAY, UH, HOW LONG THEY WOULD HAVE THE LISTING FOR MIGHT BE FOR 90 DAYS . MIGHT BE FOR 180 DAYS. WHAT HAVE YOU ALL RIGHT, THAT, IN FACT WOULD BE PART OF THEIR PROPOSAL, MOST LIKELY IN THEIR MARKETING PLAN, AND WE PROPOSE, YOU KNOW, LISTING AGREEMENT FOR 180 DAYS. AND WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS. THIS AND THIS WHILE WE DO IT, ETCETERA, UM AND THEN SO ULTIMATELY, THE FINAL THING THAT PRESSES GO ON, IT WOULD BE A LISTING AGREEMENT COMING BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL, AND THEN THEY WOULD HAVE IT LISTED AND THEY WOULD PROCEED MARKET FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME SPECIFIED AND LISTENING AGREEMENT OKAY.

Update on Da Swamp Homecoming 2023 Special Event Application

]

OKAY EVERYTHING SAID AND DONE. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. MOVING ON. AH ITEM 12 UPDATE ON THE SWAMP HOMECOMING 2023 SPECIAL EVENTS APPLICATION. YES THAT'S MINE TO YOU. UM SO AFTER LAST COUNCIL MEETING YOU HAD ASKED FOR THIS TO COME BACK SO THAT THE COUNCIL COULD BE UPDATED ON ALL THE COMPONENTS THAT HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. AND WHAT COMPONENT HAS NOT YET BEEN RECEIVED. OKAY SO AS OF TODAY, I HAVE NOT HEARD OTHERWISE. AND I CHECKED WITH, UM LAW ENFORCEMENT REPRESENTATIVES. VERY STILL HAVE NOT, UH, THE MONEY'S FOR THIS SPECIAL DETAIL FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT HAVE NOT YET BEEN PAID. THEY DID GET A LETTER OF NO OBJECTION FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. BUT THAT WAS BASED UPON THE FACT THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO HAVE DETAILED BY THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. OTHER THAN THAT EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN RECEIVED. OKAY? THANK YOU. OKAY AND SOME SOMEONE ASKED ME. YOU KNOW WHY? WHY DOES THIS KEEP SHOWING UP ON THE AGENDA? I THOUGHT YOU HAD APPROVED IT. AND WE DID, AND STAFF PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THE MOTION THAT WAS MADE AND WHAT WE APPROVED WAS, YOU KNOW THAT THE PERMIT. WOULD BE ISSUED IF ALL OF THE CONDITIONS HAD BEEN MET. OKAY? SO THE REASON IT KEEPS COMING BACK AND I KEEP REQUESTING IT TO COME BACK BECAUSE WE ARE THE ONES THAT MADE THE LAWS AND PUT THOSE CONDITIONS IN PLACE. UM WE ARE THE ONES THAT WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR BREAKING OUR OWN LAWS AND FOR ALLOWING, YOU KNOW TIME BECAUSE IN THE FUTURE AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED, UM HISTORICALLY WITH ALMOST EVERY

[01:20:04]

OTHER SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT IS WHEN IT COMES TO US. WITHIN THE ALLOTTED AMOUNT OF TIME.

EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE WE GET IT. AND THAT'S NOT THE CASE HERE, SO IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY. IF WE'VE SAID WE'VE APPROVED IT, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE THE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN MET. THAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE. UM BECAUSE WE'RE THE ONES THAT BASICALLY BROKE THE LAW AND SAID , YOU KNOW, WE'LL WE'LL GO OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE REQUIRE. SO THAT'S THE REASON IT KEEPS COMING BACK AS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S DONE DONE RIGHT. UM THAT'S MY REASON, ANYWAY. UM SO THERE IS. SO THERE'S WE STILL AND WE'RE TWO WEEKS OUT, AND WE STILL HAVE THE 11 ITEM REMAINING. GOOD EVENING. HI HOW YOU DOING? RECORD THEM TO ONE. STEWART THE PRESIDENT OF THE SWAMP HOMECOMING COMMITTEE CORPORATION LLC. UM THE INVOICE THAT I RECEIVED SET THE PAYMENT ISN'T DUE UNTIL MADE ITS 17TH THINK TODAY IS THE 11TH. MY CORRECT UM. THE CORRESPONDENCE THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. OKAY UM, AND FOR THE AMOUNT I JUST GOT THE INVOICE ON MAY THE FIRST YEAH. OKAY YEAH, I GOT IT. ON MAY THE 1ST AND $4000. I KNOW.

YOU KNOW, I AIN'T GOT ATLANTA AROUND LIKE THAT. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY JUST LIKE LAST YEAR, WE PAID THE POLICE AND THE REFERENCE KEEPS BEING MADE THAT WE WEREN'T ISSUED A PERMIT. UM NO, WE NEVER RECEIVED A HARD COPY OF ANYTHING. BUT WE KNOW WE PAID THE POLICE BECAUSE THEY SHOWED UP. AS I STATED IN THE PAST, YOU KNOW, AND, UM THIS IS A REQUIREMENT THAT WE PLAN ON MEETING. BUT LIKE I SAID, IT'S 17TH IS THE DATE THAT'S BEEN GIVEN TO ME THAT THE MONEY IS DUE. BUT TODAY IS THE 11TH CORRECT. AGAIN IN THE PAST PERMITS WERE ISSUED. BUT THEY WEREN'T TO US. AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, I WAS WONDERING IF WE DIDN'T GET A PERMIT. HOW DID THE OTHER ORGANIZATION GET A PERMIT? WE WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ONE. BUT THE OTHER ORGANIZATION THAT WAS HAVING SOMETHING THAT WE CAN THEY GOT THEIR PERMIT. HOW YOU KNOW, I JUST BECAUSE, EVEN IN I'VE BEEN IN DIFFERENT ARTICLES IN MARTIN COUNTY FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, SINCE ALL THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON, AND IT'S ALWAYS REFERRED TO LIKE WE HAD AN ILLEGAL EVENT. LAST YEAR. BUT THIS YEAR AGAIN, WE'RE BACK UP HERE WITH A REQUIREMENT THAT WASN'T MADE AT THE FIRST MEETING. IT WAS TWO THINGS THAT I NEEDED. AND I GOT THEM TO YOU ALL. BUT THEN I GOT CONTACTED BY THE DUMPSTER. THAT I WANT YOU TO PAY FOR IT. NO AT YOUR LAST MEETING. YOU SAID I NEED TO SHOW PROOF THAT I HAD ONE. EVERY YEAR. WE'VE HAD THE EVENT. THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A DUMPSTER PUT. THEREFORE, OUR TRASH DISPOSAL. AND AS WE MOVE ALONG, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, IT'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT'S BEING DONE AS WE GO ALONG. NONE OF THIS IS WRITTEN ANYWHERE IN STONE. BUT YOU KNOW, EVERY REQUIREMENT THAT WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO GIVE YOU WE ARE NOW YOU'RE ASKING TONIGHT THAT WE HAVE WE PAID THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. NO, WE HAVEN'T. BABE I MEAN, $4000. IF YOU GOT IT, YOU CAN GIVE IT TO HIM AND I'LL BE TURNING IT OVER TO THIS MAN BEFORE HE LEAVES THE NIGHT. BUT BABY, I DON'T HAVE IT LIKE THAT. BUT JUST LIKE LAST YEAR, WE'LL HAVE IT. UM I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. YOU WANT US TO TELL YOU, BUT, UM, LIKE I SAID, I JUST GOT THE BILL AND I'M STILL IN SHOCK. BUT HEY, THAT'S IT. THAT'S THAT'S THE WAY IT'S BEEN GIVEN TO US. SO IS THAT THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE ? I MEAN, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, EMAILS WERE SENT TO ME FOR CORRECTED, INSURANCE DOCUMENT AND YOUNG LADY SAID IN THE LAST MEETING SHE HAD BECAUSE YOU CONTACTED INSURANCE BROKER AM I CORRECT? YEAH. NEXT DOOR STILL I WENT OVER AND GOT IT. YEAH I AND MY INSURANCE BROKER INFORMED OUR ATTORNEY. ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAD. ARE YOU DOING SCHOLAR? SHE WAS FINE WITH THE CORRESPONDENCE BECAUSE I GOT CALLS ALL DAY. I'M A LITTLE DRIER. THE HAIRDRESSER AND I WAS STUDYING CALLS FOUR OR FIVE TIMES A DAY ABOUT THE SAME THING. YOU KNOW, I NEEDED A LETTER FROM JACK. YEAH PROVIDED A LETTER FROM JACKET. YOU KNOW, AS I TOLD STEVE, I FEEL LIKE, UM DO I HAVE TO LIE TO JACK? IT SAID I HAD TO PUT A DUMPSTER ON HER PROPERTY. AND THEN I GOT ACCUSED OF PUTTING IT ON THE MARKET KIND OF SCHOOL BOARD PROPERTY. HEY IF YOU KNOW YOUR LOGISTICS TO BOOK A PARK IF YOU VISITED IT MORE OFTEN, YOU WILL KNOW THAT IT'S NOT ON MARIN

[01:25:03]

COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD PROPERTY IF IT'S INSIDE JACKET, GARY'S FENCE , CLARK, I'M SORRY, FORMER MAYOR IT'S BEEN PUT THERE EVERY YEAR. EVERY YEAR. AARON STONE BRINGS A DUMPSTER AND PUTS IT THERE BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO PRODUCE A LOT OF TRASH. I LIVE IN BROOKLYN PARK. I DON'T WANT IT LOOKING TRASHY. EVERY YEAR. WE GET UP SIX O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AND PICK UP ALL THE TRASH. WE'VE DONE THAT FOR YEARS. AND THEN THE LAST CALL. I GOT THAT I WANT YOU ALL TO PAY FOR THE DUMPSTER. AS I STAYED IN THE LAST MEETING. I'VE NEVER ASKED YOU FOR ANYTHING. NOTHING.

AT ALL. FIREWORKS A Y'ALL TALKING ABOUT MONEY? THAT'S A WASTE OF MONEY. BUT THAT'S ANOTHER TOPIC I MOVE ON. SO ON THE 17TH IS WHEN THE INVOICES DO . WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SEND YOU A COPY OF THE DETAIL? MAYBE. YOU KNOW Y'ALL CAN HELP CONTRIBUTE. OKAY IS THAT IS THAT EVERYTHING ? I GUESS I'M BACK HERE IN THE NIGHT. I GOT SOMEWHERE TO BE, BUT I'M HERE. YOU KNOW, LAST MEETING I WAS HERE. I JUST WANT TO HEAR PHYSICALLY. OKAY PHYSICALLY. YEAH, BUT I WAS HERE. I'M ALWAYS LOOKING OKAY TO MEET YOU. YOU TOO. ALSO UM JUST TO KIND OF, UM ONCE AGAIN PUT A FINER POINT TO IT. THE REASON THAT THE THAT YOU WERE GIVEN A MAY AND I'M JUST GUESSING AND PROJECTING ON THIS, THE MAY THE 17TH DUE DATE IS BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST GIVEN THE REQUEST TO GET THE DETAIL. UM LAST YEAR. WE ENCOURAGED. WE ENCOURAGE THIS EVENT TO START MONTHS AHEAD OF TIME BECAUSE WE REQUIRE A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT TO BE TURNED IN 60 DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT, SO ALL OF THIS STUFF SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAKEN CARE OF 60 DAYS AGO, NOT TWO WEEKS BEFORE AND A WEEK BEFORE WE'RE DEALING WITH THE THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. 60 DAYS AHEAD OF TIME. UM BECAUSE ONCE THE STAFF GETS IT ALL, THEN THEY HAVE TO REVIEW IT ALL TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THOSE THINGS THAT ARE STILL TAKING PLACE SHOULD BE IN PLACE. AND THEN WE THEN WE IT COMES BEFORE THE COUNCIL IN ORDER TO APPROVE. OKAY YOU SAID 60 DAYS, RIGHT? ISN'T A SPECIAL AND I MAY BE WRONG. YEAH, YOU ARE, BUT OKAY, OKAY. SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT.

OKAY OKAY. HANG ON, JUST A MOMENT. HANG ON SPECIAL EVENTS. PERMIT IS SUPPOSED TO BE TURNED IN. HOW MANY DAYS IN ADVANCE? 60 60 IS ON THE PERMIT STARTED DOING MY PERMIT. MARCH, THE TEMP. OKAY AND MY PERMIT. OKAY NOW, LET ME LET ME PUT A FINE POINT TO THAT MY APPLICATION NOT TO PERMIT. OKAY, WELL, AND I AGREE WITH YOU. OKAY? WE'RE PUTTING THE WRONG TERMS ON IT.

OKAY? YOU TURNED YOU AN APPLICATION IN, BUT ALL THESE THINGS WERE NOT COMPLETED AND CHECKED OFF. THAT'S THE REASON IT CAME TO US WITH THESE THINGS STILL NEED TO COMPLETE IT AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BECAUSE THEN THAT GIVES STAFF TIME TO REVIEW AND SAY, YEAH, THEY'VE GOT THEIR THEIR THEY'VE GOT THEIR, UM, THEIR THEIR LETTER OF NO OBJECTION. YEAH, THEIR HERE'S THEIR INSURANCE ON IT. THEY ALREADY HAVE IT 60 DAYS AHEAD OF TIME SO THEY CAN GO THROUGH IT. SO WE'RE NOT RUNNING UP AGAINST THIS AGAINST THE DEADLINE ONCE AGAIN TO PROTECT THE PROCEDURE, SINCE I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A WHILE, AND I JUST DETAILED IT'S BEING DONE DIFFERENTLY, BECAUSE BEFORE IN THE PAST, WE WOULD TURN IN OUR APPLICATION AND THEN GET NOTIFICATION FROM THE OFFICERS THAT WE NEED TO GET A DETAIL. SO MAYBE THAT'S WHERE WE'RE A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED. THIS YEAR. WE WERE WAITING ON YOU TO TELL US TO DO WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO.

BUT WE KNOW WE APPLICATION 60 DAYS AHEAD OF TIME WHERE WE ARE. LET'S DEAL WITH WHERE WE'RE AT.

WE MOVE ON NEXT YEAR. WE THE, UM MY UNDERSTANDING STAFF WILL NOT BRING AN APPLICATION FOR A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT UNLESS EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. THEN WE'RE ABLE TO APPROVE IT. NOT WITH CONDITIONS BUT TOTALLY DONE, SO I THINK THAT THAT'S KIND OF BEEN THE ONGOING THING. SO UM, IT'S UP TO COUNSEL WHETHER WE WAIT ANOTHER WEEK. ANOTHER WEEK. FOR WHAT? IT'S ALREADY APPROVED FROM WHAT MY UNDERSTANDING WAS, IF THEY COMPLIED, LIKE I'VE OKAY EVENT APPLICATIONS, AND I'VE NEVER EVEN BEEN ASKED ON IF I PAID FOR DETAIL. I'M JUST SAYING SOMETIMES THE DETAILED DOESN'T GET THERE. SOMETIMES THEY CAN'T . IT DEPENDS. THEY THEY SENT ME THE INVOICE AFTER THE FACT AND I PAY IT THEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS THIS IS WHERE MICROMANAGING SHE? SHE DID THE LETTER OF OBJECTION. SHE'S GONNA PAY. SHE JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE MONEY. WE'VE ALREADY GONE THROUGH THIS CONVERSATION OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WE HAVE TO MICROMANAGE. IN REGARDS OF OH, SHE HASN'T PAID, THE LADY SAID HER INVOICE SAYS UNTIL THE 17TH DUDE, JUST WAIT. HMM AND WE'RE WAITING A WEEK

[01:30:08]

BEFORE THE EVENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 60 DAYS BEFORE. THAT'S ALL. I'M JUST SAYING THAT THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, MADAM MAYOR HOW YOU WANT TO MICROMANAGE THIS EVENT? IT SEEMS LIKE YOU JUST DON'T WANT THIS EVENT TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAVE EVERY I'M NOT COSTING YOU OUT. I'M JUST TELLING YOU THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE EVERYTHING IN COMPLIANCE. EVERYTHING WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT THEM TO? DO YOU WANT THEM TO BOW DOWN TO YOU OR SOMETHING? REALLY WELL. YEAH. OH, OKAY. WOW, THAT'S EMBARRASSING. OKAY? THERE'S A REASON. WHY LAW ENFORCEMENT DOES THE THINGS THAT THEY DO? THAT'S BECAUSE YOU NEED X AMOUNT OF DEPUTIES, AND THEY NEED TIME TO HIRE THOSE DEPUTIES. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THOSE DEPUTIES, YOU DON'T HAVE THE EVENT. THAT'S SIMPLE. WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.

WITH THE DEPUTY SITUATIONS THERE , BUT WE CAN'T KEEP COMING BACK HERE AND I WATCHED THIS COMEBACK HERE. WATCH THIS PLAYER. LET ME LET ME FINISH. I WATCH THIS PLAY OUT. LAST YEAR I SAT BACK THERE.

AND I WATCH IT. PLAY OUT. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF GOD. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THERE'S AN APPLICATION. LISTEN YOU GO GET YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE. YOU GO OVER A NEW YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE. YOU HAVE TO HAVE X AMOUNT OF PAPERWORK WITH YOU. OTHERWISE YOU DON'T GET THAT DRIVER'S LICENSE. WE HAVE A PROCEDURE IN PLACE. WE HAVE TO GO BY THAT PROCEDURE. EVERYBODY DOES. OKAY WE THIS SHOULD COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL ONE TIME AND ONE TIME ONLY. THAT SHOULD BE THE END OF IT. EVERYTHING SHOULD BE DONE. LAW ENFORCEMENT SHOULD BE HIRED. AND THEN THE PERMIT IS ISSUED. EVERYBODY GOES AND HAS A GOOD TIME. BUT COMING BACK HERE TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME FOR THE SAME THING, AND NOTHING BEING ACCOMPLISHED IS A WASTE OF OUR TIME. AND MY TIME IS VALUABLE TO OKAY, SO I DON'T WANT TO BE REHASHING ALL THIS AND ARGUING IN MY THAT THIS IS THIS IS THIS THIS OUTBURST WAS WAS JUST I'M EMBARRASSED. OKAY THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I'M EMBARRASSED THAT I PAID MY BILLS AND I'M STANDING UP. YOU'RE STILL IN ON THE SAME TOPIC. WELL YOU KNOW, I LAST WEEK WHEN I WAS LAST TIME WE WERE HERE AND WE LISTENED TO THE MEETING. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING PEOPLE IN JAIL FOR LIVING IN THEIR COMMUNITY. THAT AIN'T RIGHT.

KARMA YOU'VE BEEN AN OFFICER OVER THERE FOREVER. LISTEN, NOBODY'S PUTTING ANYBODY IN JAIL FOR ANYTHING. OKAY THE LAST MEETING IS READY TO ARREST PEOPLE WILL LISTEN. WE HAVE RULES, OKAY? WHEN WE INCORPORATED THIS TOWN, OKAY, WE SET OUT RULES. WE HAVE RULES, WHICH ARE LAWS, OKAY? OUR LAW IS THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE A SPECIAL EVENT. YOU NEED A SPECIAL PERMIT. OKAY AND THAT PERMIT COMES WITH THE PACKAGE. FILL THAT. PACK IT UP AND GET ALL YOUR T IS CROSSED IN YOUR EYES DARTED. AND THEN IT SHOULD COME TO THE COUNCIL. AND THEN IF EVERYTHING IS THERE. IS APPROVED. IF IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT APPROVED THAT SIMPLE. WELL I'M I'M REALLY LIKE I SAID, I CAN'T SAY WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR BECAUSE I WASN'T HERE. BUT WHEN I DID COME BACK, IT WAS A SHAME THAT TO ME, EVERYTHING WAS PAID AND DONE IN THE COUNCIL APPROVED ANOTHER EVENT TO HAPPEN ON TOP OF US THAT SAME WEEKEND. SO I DO BELIEVE SOME OF THE CONFUSION AND EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON COULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED IF I PUT IN A PERMIT APPLICATION VENDOR PACK OR WHATEVER IT IS. UM AND STATE AND I'M HAVING AN EVENT AND THEN SOMEONE COMES AND HAVE ONE ON THE SAME WEEKEND THAT WOULD CAUSE PROBLEMS. BUT AGAIN AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE DIDN'T MISS A BEAT WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GO OVER TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND PAY THAT BILL.

NOT A BEAT THAT WE MISS. BUT AGAIN, WE'RE HERE TODAY ON THIS YEAR'S EVENT BECAUSE HE PEOPLE ARE COMMON. THEY HAVE THINGS TO SAY YOU WEREN'T HERE. SO A LOT OF TIMES. PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THE FULL EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON AND I GOT MY EYES. I CROSSED MY TEETH. THAT'S WHY I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR SEVEN YEARS. AS FAR AS THE APPLICATION. EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE YOU INCORPORATED INDIAN TOWN SEVEN YEARS, BUT HERE WE ARE. WE'RE WHAT? TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM THE EVENT AND YOU WANT ME TO HAVE $4000 TO GIVE TO YOU TODAY IF YOU DON'T COME ON BABE BABE, BUT THAT'S A PART OF THE PROCESS. 16 LET'S GET IN OUR EVENT. WE DON'T MAKE ANY DEAL WITH WHAT WE'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH. GET IT OVER WITH, OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALSO THE INFORMATION IS OUT THERE. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL TIMES THAT YOU DON'T ASK FOR ANYTHING. NOTHING HAS BEEN ASKED OF US. LAST YEAR, THE VILLAGE PUT OVER $5000 INTO THAT EVENT. I WASN'T HERE, SO I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT WELL, THAT THAT THAT THAT SHARING, I KNOW, BUT THAT THAT'S VERIFIABLE 5000. I ONLY HEARD 3000 WAS APPROVED. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO BE FINDING THEM OTHER $2000 BECAUSE

[01:35:05]

THEY DIDN'T GET WELL. I AND WE CAN, WE CAN WE CAN PUT IT OUT THERE THAT THAT IS VERIFIED, BUT AGAIN FILED CHARGES FORWARD MOVING FORWARD. OKAY? SO EVERYBODY'S GOOD. YES. TO MOVE FORWARD. LET THEM GO AHEAD AND GIVE THEM TILL THE 17TH. THERE ARE JUST THAT'S A DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER. WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER COUNCIL MEETING BECAUSE IT'S LIKE THE DAY BEFORE . THEY HAVE THE DETAIL, DON'T THEY? MR? NO, LIEUTENANT DOLAN. DANG. KENDALL DOLAN, MARTIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. SO WE SPOKE WITH THE PROMOTER. THEY HAVE CONTACTED US. WE HAVE WORKED WITH THEM WITH THE NUMBERS. WE HAVE ADJUSTED THE NUMBERS. THE NUMBER OF THE DEPUTIES IS THE SAME. BUT WE'VE ADJUSTED TIMES TO TRY AND HELP WITH THE FUNDING. WE HAVE ALSO ADJUSTED THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT WE NEED TO START THIS DETAIL. SO THE PRE PAYMENT IS NOT THE FULL AMOUNT. AND WE ARE TRYING TO WORK WITH THEM WITH THAT. SO YES AND GOOD FAITH. WE HAVE OPENED THE DETAIL UP. IT IS POSTED, BUT OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING AS OF YET.

OKAY. OKAY. GOOD. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE GOT ANYTHING? WE'RE GOOD. THAT TAKES CARE OF IT. I WOULD SUGGEST LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR. GET EVERYTHING IN 60 DAYS BEFORE COMPLETED. I KNOW THAT THAT THAT APPLICATION WAS ACCEPTED. BUT NOT EVERYTHING APPARENTLY WAS COMPLETED. I WOULD ENCOURAGE NEXT YEAR THAT EVERYTHING BE COMPLETED, SO WE'RE NOT RUNNING UP AGAINST IT LIKE WE DID AGAIN THIS YEAR LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. YES COMMENT. OH OKAY . WELL WE'RE NOT TAKING A VOTE OR ANYTHING, BUT OKAY. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS CAROLYN PARKER. HANG ON WAIT. HANG ON WHO'S WHO'S CALLING PRESSLER'S FIRST? OKAY THANK YOU. MY NAME IS RONNY TO PRESSLER RESIDENT. I NOTICED THE SHERIFF'S APPLICATION HAD A SUPERVISOR, PLUS SEVEN DEPUTIES, WHICH EIGHT SEEMED LIKE A LOT TO ME, AND THAT'S WHAT CREATED THE $4000 BILL. UM WHICH IS A PROBLEM, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, ANYWAY. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY WORKED IT OUT. BUT IF THEY WERE ABLE TO WORK OUT THE NUMBER OF DEPUTIES AND REDUCE THE BILL, UH, THAT SEEMS GOOD. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF DEPUTIES FOR THIS EVENT. THANK YOU. CAROLINE PARKS.

CAROLYN PARKER. I'VE GOTTEN UP IT BEFORE WITH THIS. SAME ON THE SAME SUBJECT. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF MY VILLAGE WHO WE VOTED IN HERE SITTING UP IN FRONT OF ME BICKERING. WE ALL ON ZOOM. I KNOW Y'ALL KNOW THAT AND I'M LIKE, UM, COUNCILMAN APOLLO. THAT'S SO EMBARRASSING. IT'S REALLY EMBARRASSING. ANYMORE. NO MATTER, MAN. THANK YOU. OK, DOKEY. ON TO ITEM NUMBER 13

[13.

]

ESTABLISH A PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD. THIS WAS ITEM THAT WAS REQUESTED BY VICE MAYOR GUIDANCE STONE. IT IS IN PART OF YOUR IT IS A ELEMENT IN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THEN ALSO UM. IT WAS DISCUSSED DURING ONE OF YOUR STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSIONS TO HAVE THIS UM, WE ALSO HAVE THE MASTER PLAN OUT AND IN THE PROCESS UH, SO IT MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME. YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE PUT SURVEYS OUT ALREADY FOR THE PARK MASTER PLAN. SO WE'RE JUST SEEKING SOME DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL AND BASED ON THAT DIRECTION, THEN WE MAY NEED TO COME BACK IN ORDER TO HAVE THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE SINCE IT'S AN ADVISORY GROUP. IT WOULD HAVE, UH, THE SAME REQUEST. EXCUSE ME, THEY'D HAVE TO FALL UNDER THE SUNSHINE. IN PUBLIC RECORDS AND ALL THAT, SO. YEAH, IF IT WAS THE DESIRE OF THE COUNCIL TO MOVE FORWARD TO CREATE COMMITTEE, I'D SUGGEST DISCUSSING THE PARTICULARS. HOW MANY MEMBERS? HOW WOULD YOU POINT THINGS LIKE THAT, AND THAT WOULD BE DIRECTION TO US TO PUT TOGETHER A RESOLUTION TO COME BACK TO YOU ALL TO SET ALL THAT UP, SAY WHAT THEIR SCOPE IS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. MHM. YEAH BASICALLY, I RECOMMENDED AT THIS TO THE AGENDA BECAUSE AH, THE MASTER PLAN, AND I'M NOT SURE IF

[01:40:05]

MISS DEBBIE RESOURCE HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S COMING UP AND IT'S ACTUALLY IN PROGRESS. UM AND I JUST FEEL THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A COMMITTEE, WE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE IT BEFORE. ALL THIS GET STARTED . SO THAT WAY WE'RE NOT CREATING SOMETHING, THEN HANDED OFF TO THEM. I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO CREATE THE COMMITTEE FIRST, AND THEN HAVE THEM BE A PART OF DEVELOPING THIS MASTER PLAN. UH, SO THAT'S THE REASON FOR THIS. AND AS FAR AS. I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE MAYBE A FIVE MEMBER BOARD AND EACH COUNCIL MEMBER JUST A POINT. A MEMBER TO THE BOARD. WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT IT SEEMS TO BE SUCCESSFUL. SO THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION ON THAT. DOES THIS NEED TO BE IN A MOTION OR JUST A GENERAL AGREEMENT FOR SOMETHING TO COME BACK TO US? IF EVERYBODY WAS ON THE SAME PAGE ON THE PARTICULARS THAT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT DIRECTION TO US TO BE ABLE TO PREPARE THAT. OKAY PARTICULARS. YOU HOW MANY MEMBERS? HOW DO YOU APPOINT? UH WHAT THEIR DUTIES ARE. OKAY SO FROM WHAT I HEAR 555 MEMBERS, EACH APPOINTED BY A COUNCIL MEMBER, AND THEN THEIR DUTIES WOULD BE TO HELP TO CREATE THE MASTER PLAN, AND THEY WOULD ALSO RUN THE RECREATION PROGRAM. ARE I'M NOT SURE IF MR THAT WE HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT AS FAR AS WHAT SHE WOULD LIKE TO AS WELL. GOOD EVENING. HI DEBBIE.

RESOURCE FOR THE RECORD. SORRY I LOST MY VOICE YESTERDAY. SO UM, THE MASTER PLAN IS UNDERWAY. WE DID GET IT POSTED IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. I GOT EXCITED WHEN THEY GOT IT DONE IN A PROVED IT AND KNEADED THE CONVERSION. SO IT DID GET POSTED RIGHT AWAY IN THE SPANISH OF THE LINK IS AVAILABLE THERE. I HEARD THEY HAVE ALREADY HAD 61. PEOPLE RESPOND TO IT. UM MY FEELING FOR THE MASTER PLAN IS WE'RE ASKING FOR INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY FROM THE STAKEHOLDERS. YOU GUYS WERE ALL LISTED AS STAKEHOLDERS , SO YOU'LL BE CONTACTED FOR YOUR INPUT FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE AND THEN WENT TO THAT MASTER PLAN IS COMPLETED. WE WOULD HAVE AN ADVISORY BOARD TO GIVE DIRECTION TO THE DEPARTMENT FOR HOW THEY WANTED TO DO IT AND HOW WE WOULD LOOK FOR GRANT FUNDING.

SO FOR ME. THE MASTER PLANS ALREADY IN PLACE OR MOVING FORWARD. LET'S GET IT GOING AND GET IT COMPLETED. SO WE HAVE A PLAN TO GIVE TO THE UM, ADVISORY BOARD TO TAKE OVER IN A DIRECTION TO MOVE IN. OKAY THANK YOU. QUESTIONS. THAT'S A LITTLE IT SOUNDS LIKE I'M ABOUT THE SAME THING, OKAY? ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, WELL, NOT MUCH QUESTION, BUT MORE OF A STATEMENT. UM I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT OTHER PROGRAMS. AND. TO HAVE AN ADVISORY BOARD THAT'S GOVERNED BY SUNSHINE LAW. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE BECAUSE I THINK IT'S LIKE WHEN WE WENT TO GRIND HARD. THEY HAD TO DO. FIVE DIFFERENT WALK THROUGH. WE COULDN'T GO TOGETHER. SO DO WE WANT TO HOLD? A FACT FINDING GROUP TOO. THOSE SAME STANDARDS.

IF THEY JUST COME BACK WITH FACTS AND NIGHT. ADVISE US. TELL ME IF I'M WRONG. IT WOULDN'T FOLLOWING THE SUNSHINE, RIGHT. I KNOW I KNOW THAT MIGRAINE. THERE'S A GRAY AREA IN MY IN MY 20 YEAR CAREER AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT ATTORNEY. I'VE NEVER IN FACT RUN INTO A COMMITTEE THAT WOULD QUALIFY AS A FACT FINDING COMMITTEE THAT THERE IS . THERE IS SOME CASE LAW BACK FROM THE SEVENTIES AND EIGHTIES. THAT SAYS, EXACTLY AS YOU SAY THAT IF YOU'RE JUST FINDING FACTS AND REPORTING FACTS, AND SO ON THAT IT DOESN'T QUALIFY. I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THOSE BECAUSE IT INEVITABLY BECOMES THIS IS WHAT WE FOUND. AND THIS IS WHAT WE THINK ABOUT IT OR THIS IS WHAT WE RECOMMEND. OR WHAT HAVE YOU UM I WOULD TELL YOU THAT THE REAL. THE QUESTION IS REALLY WHAT WHAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH WITH IT. WHEN YOU GET INTO THE POINT OF YOUR TAKING MULTIPLE HUMAN BEINGS WHO ARE BASICALLY VOLUNTEERS AND PUTTING HIM ON A TASK TO COME BACK TO YOU ALL IT'S IN GREAT PART. THE FACT THAT HOLD ON. YOU ALL ARE ASKING TO DO IT RUNS IT DOWN

[01:45:01]

THAT DIRECTION, I THINK HE'S OVER. YOU'RE OVERTHINKING THIS. THIS COMMITTEE IS NOT GOING TO GO FIND FACTS. THAT'S WHAT THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS ARE GOING TO DO THIS COMMUNITY IS THE COMMITTEE IS BASICALLY GOING TO RUN THE PROGRAM. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GO FIND FACTS AND TRY TO COME BACK AND TELL YOU HOW TO RUN THE PROGRAM. IT'S ALREADY GONNA BE A PART OF THE MASTER PLAN. NO NO, I GET THAT I JUST I JUST THINK THAT THERE'S SEVERAL ENTITIES OUT THERE THAT RUN PROGRAMS AND DOING REALLY, REALLY WELL. I AGREE WITH YOU, 100. IF WE'RE GOING TO BE SPENDING MONEY, AND I THINK THAT ITEM 13 AND 14, THEY SHOULD RUN CONSECUTIVE. IT'S TOGETHER, SO WE'RE GONNA. ESTABLISHED PARKS AND RECREATION AND WE'RE GOING TO FUND IT SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOING TO GET SOME SOME VILLAGE FUNDING. BUT THERE ARE ENTITIES OUT THERE THAT THAT RUN THESE PROGRAMS THAT. TAKE HIM AWAY FROM THE VILLAGE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT INSURANCE. WE DON'T HAVE TO ALL THAT WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS MAINTAINING OUR PARKS. AND THERE'S SOME REALLY GREAT PROGRAMS OUT THERE. AND THAT'S I THINK THE DIRECTION THAT THE VILLAGE SHOULD BE LOOKING IN BECAUSE WE WANT. LISTEN, SPORTS IS AN IMPORTANT THING. GROWING UP SPORTS. I PLAYED HOCKEY. I PLAYED FOOTBALL. AND, UH, IT TEACHES TEACHES PROGRAMS OR YOU'RE SAYING PUBLIC PROGRAMS PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP.

OKAY? AND. YOU KNOW, JUPITER HAS AN AWESOME PROGRAM. PEOPLE I KNOW PEOPLE THAT HAVE ACTUALLY MOVED TO JUPITER. TO PUT THEIR KIDS IN THAT SPORTS PROGRAM. SPORTS IS A BIG THING. SPORTS TEACHES A LOT OF THINGS DISCIPLINED CAMARADERIE. TEAMWORK. ALL THAT STUFF. AND EVERYBODY ASPIRES FOR THEIR KID TO SUCCEED IN SPORTS. EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR THAT SCHOLARSHIP. EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR THEIR KIDS TO MAKE IT INTO THE NFL TO THE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, BASKETBALL OR WHATEVER. UM SO I THINK WE NEED TO FIND THE BEST VEHICLE. IN ORDER TO DO THAT. WE NEED TO GO LOOK AT OTHER PROGRAMS AND OTHER CITIES AND OTHER TOWNS. AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FACT FINDING MISSION SO THAT YOU CAN GET 34 PEOPLE TOGETHER AND THEY CAN GO. AND LOOK AT JUPITER. LOOK AT PALM BEACH GARDENS. LOOK AT PORT ST LUCIE STILL MISSING THE WHOLE POINT. THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE COMMUNITY MEETINGS TO HEAR WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS. I GET THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO GO FIND TO GIVE OPTIONS TO COMMUNITY. LET THEM KNOW THAT SURE IS WHY YOU HAVE COMMUNITY MEETINGS TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY. WE KNOW WHAT WE KNOW. WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT, BUT WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY. WE NEED TO HEAR WHAT THEY WANT. WELL, THAT'S WHY LAST MEETING I SAID WE SHOULD HAVE A WORKSHOP. KEEP SAYING I IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU. IT'S ABOUT THE COMMUNITY THAT BUT THAT'S WHY I SAID. AT THE LAST MEETING . YOU CAN PLAY BACK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A WORKSHOP. AND WE SHOULD HAVE THE PUBLIC COME TO THAT WORKSHOP. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE THOSE THAT'S A PART OF THE MASTER PLAN. WOW THE MASTER PLAN ISN'T FINISHED YET. NO, IT'S JUST GETTING STARTED, RIGHT? SO YOU'RE PUTTING A COMMITTEE TOGETHER SO THEY CAN HELP? RUN THAT PROGRAM, WHATEVER IT IS, IF IT'S A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP, OR IF IT'S A PUBLIC WHATEVER IT IS THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO. THEY'RE NOT GONNA GO FIND FACTS AND COME BACK TO TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD DO. THE COMMUNITY IS ALREADY GOING TO TELL US WHAT THEY WANT. AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT AND IMPLEMENTED AND THIS COMMITTEE IS GONNA OPERATE OVER THAT. SO I THINK YOU'RE YOU'RE MIXING THE TWO. YET. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. SO I AGREE ON BOTH. YOU KNOW, MY BOTH FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS, UM WHEN YOU KNOW OUR. COMMUNITY DOES NEED YOUTH PROGRAMS WERE ALL FOR IT. UM BUT I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD REINVENT THE WHEEL. WE ALREADY HAVE ANY TALENT ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OR YEAH, UM AND THEY ALREADY DO SOCCER. THEY ALREADY DO FOOTBALL . I THINK PARTNERING WITH THEM TO YOU KNOW. TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO, BECAUSE CURRENTLY, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IS INFRASTRUCTURE WISE, WHICH BRINGS MONTH MONEY. UM IF WE WANT TO DO LIKE THE WHOLE, YOU KNOW THE VILLAGE, TAKE OVER AND HAVE A PROGRAM. WE'RE

[01:50:03]

TALKING ABOUT MONEY. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SALARIES BENEFITS . WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RETIREMENT . WE'RE TALKING. THAT'S JUST MONEY ALL DOWN THERE AND THEN OVER TIME, AND ONLY ONE PERSON WILL NOT, UH, WILL NOT BE. AH, FOR THE PROGRAM YOU'RE GONNA NEED VARIOUS SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY MONEY. UM BUT ALSO VOLUNTEERS, BUT STILL WHY SHOULD WE ARE REINVENT THE WHEEL WHEN WE ALREADY HAVE SOMEONE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN DOING THIS ALREADY A COMMITTEE THAT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR MANY YEARS. WHY DON'T WE PARTNER WITH THEM? YES EVERYONE WANTS BETTER PARKS. YES OUR PARKS NEED MAINTENANCE, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW, TALKING TO HEIDI. I WAS ABLE TO SEE HAVE SOME INSIGHT WHEN THEY WERE WITH THE COUNTY.

THE COUNTY WOULD LINE STUFF AND ALL THAT. I THINK THAT WAS THE CONTRIBUTION THAT THE COUNTY DID. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO TO UM, WE HAVE THE VAN. THE VAN IS JUST SITTING THERE WE NEED THEY NEED TO TRANSPORT UM, THERE'S THEIR STUDENTS THEIR ATHLETES TO TWO GAMES. COUNCIL MEMBERS CAN PUT THEIR PUT THEIR THEIR NAME DOWN OR I DON'T I DON'T KNOW. IF ONLY COUNCIL MEMBERS CAN CAN IT BE STAFFED, TOO. TO BE COVERED BY, UM IT'LL BE STASHED. TERANCE. I BELIEVE IT. HAS TO BE EITHER AN EMPLOYEE OF THE VILLAGE DO YOU KNOW DEB OR A COUNCIL MEMBER COULD BE AN EMPLOYEE EMPLOYEE? IF WE HAVE VARIOUS RESIDENTS THAT THEY WOULDN'T PROBABLY VOLUNTEER, SO YOU KNOW THE THING IS TRYING TO GET THIS ORGANIZATION SUPPORTING THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY DOING IT. WHY WHY REINVENT THE WHEEL? WHY WE CREATE A PROGRAM AND SPEND MONEY HERE. SPEND MONEY THERE. WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY HAD A PROGRAM. WE JUST NEED TO SUPPORT THEM. GET THAT INFRASTRUCTURE AND WAIT FOR THIS MASTER PLAN. YEAH I THINK THE ADVISORY BOARD IS GREAT, BUT I THINK THAT IT NEEDS TO WAIT OR AT LEAST LAUNCH OFF AFTER WE GET THE MASTER PLAN. NOT NOW, BECAUSE THERE'S NO MASTER PLAN. WE HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN INTO THE UH, TALKING TO THE RESIDENTS HAVING THOSE COMMUNITY MEETINGS, WHICH WILL HAPPEN DURING THE SURVEY? UM AND STAKEHOLDERS, MISS RECENT MYSTERY, SO JUST SAID THAT STAKEHOLDERS ARE US SO THEY WILL BE INTERVIEWING US. WE HAVE A GREAT CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNITY AND SEEING WHAT WE WANT WHAT OUR COMMUNITY WANTS, BECAUSE OUR COMMUNITY IS DEMANDING. THEY WANT THIS. THEY WANT THAT. I UNDERSTAND, BUT EVERYTHING TAKES MONEY AND THEN YOU KNOW, GOVERNMENT TAKES ITS EVERYTHING SLOW. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? JUST SOMETHING QUICK. YES, SIR.

PURPOSES STARTING THIS COMMITTEE AND NOW WE ALL KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET A VOLUNTEER TO COMMIT TO SOMETHING. WHY WAIT TILL WE CREATED THEN TRY TO FIND THE COMMITTEE. NOW IS THE TIME FOR US TO CREATE THE COMMITTEE. AND THAT WAY WHEN WE'RE ALL DONE WITH THE MASTER PLAN WE IMPLEMENTED AND THEY CAN RUN WITH IT. IT'S GONNA TAKE AT LEAST THREE MONTHS JUST TO PUT THIS COMMITTEE TOGETHER. THIS IS THE TIME TO START IT. QUESTION ON THE MASTER PLAN HELP. YES, MA'AM. YOU KNOW, I AGREE WITH THE GUY IN THE EARLIER THE BETTER. I KNOW HOW IT IS TO HAVE VOLUNTEERS. I KNOW HOW IT IS TO LINE THOSE FIELDS. MY POOR HUSBAND. GOD FORBID, WE FIND THAT FIELD FRIDAY NIGHT AND IT RAINS. POUR HIM BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE OUT THERE, LINING THIS FIELD AT SIX O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, THE FIRST TIME YOU SEE IT'S LIKE HE'S OUT THERE LINING THE FIELDS. I AGREE WITH COUNSEL MEMBER STONE EARLIER WE START THE MORE WE KNOW. YOU KNOW, AS SOMEBODY WHO'S BEEN OUT THERE, YOU KNOW. SOCCER YOU KNOW, YOU ASKED ME. I GOTTA ANSWER FOR YOU . YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE GREAT TO GET A FEEDBACK PUT OUR MEMBER ON THE ADVISORY BOARD TO GET THE FEEDBACK. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO. ONE PERSON CAN'T HIT ALL THE ANGLES, MAYBE STONES REPRESENTATIVE OR CARMINE'S, OR JANET OR YOURSELF. SUSAN GIVES THOMAS WHATEVER MEMBER ON THERE, GET THEM TO. WHAT WILL YOU FEEDBACK WE GET? YOU KNOW THE SURVEYS OUT BECAUSE I ALREADY FILLED IT OUT. I WAS LIKE, OH, I'M EXCITED. YOU KNOW, AND SO BUT THERE EARLIER THE BETTER AND GET A FEEDBACK ON WHAT WHAT OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS. YOU KNOW, AND HEARING THEM, OKAY? ANOTHER SORT . BESIDES SOCCER, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, SOCCER, SOCCER SOCCER. YOU KNOW, LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO TRY TO GET ANOTHER SPORT OUT HERE. OKAY, ANYBODY ELSE? I JUST WANT TO SAY

[01:55:09]

WE OUGHT TO LOOK AT OTHER OTHER MUNICIPALITIES AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING. MAYBE WE CAN LEARN SOMETHING FROM HIM. THAT'S ALL. SO, MR BOSE. PROMOTION GOT ANY DIRECTION THERE. I DON'T WANT TO. LOVE. LET ME SAY THIS, UH BRING UP THE ITEM HERE. JUST ONE PIECE OF. CLARIFICATION WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT SCOPE. ALL RIGHT. UM. COUNCIL MEMBER OR A PARDON ME ADVICE. MARRIED YOU HAD, UM MENTIONED THE PARSON RECOGNIZE ARY BOARD. RUNNING THE PROGRAM. I THINK YOU MAY HAVE JUST BEEN SPEAKING KIND OF GENERALLY TO THAT. YEAH BECAUSE I WOULD SUGGEST UNLESS THE DIRECTION WAS WAS, YOU KNOW VERY DIFFERENT. IT WOULD STILL BE AN ADVISORY BOARD. THAT WOULD BE KIND OF TWO THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO POLICY WOULD BE GIVING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COUNCIL.

ALRIGHT AND WHEN IT COMES TO AND THIS IS WHERE I'VE SEEN ANOTHER PLACE AS WELL, WHEN IT COMES TO DAY TO DAY THINGS THAT MIGHT BE GIVING RECOMMENDATIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS, NOT DIRECTION RECOMMENDATIONS. TWO STAFF. OKAY BECAUSE RUNNING THINGS BY COMMITTEE IS HARD. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE CITY MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE STAFF. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? SO UM, I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT THAT PIECE ON THERE AND WHAT I WOULD ANTICIPATE IF YEAH. WHAT YOU'RE THINKING IS ON THE SAME PAGE WITH WHAT I'M THINKING, THEN THE LANGUAGE OF WHAT IS GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU IS PROBABLY GONNA LOOK A FAIR BIT LIKE THE SCOPE OF WHAT THE COUNTY'S PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD LOOKS LIKE IN THEIR SCOPE, WHAT THEY DO, AND WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, WHEN IT COMES BACK BEFORE YOU CAN TWEAK IT. SO. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A PLAN? IS EVERYBODY AGREEABLE TO THAT AND HAVE THEM WORK SOMETHING OUT AND BRING BACK TO US? YEAH. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. GOT DIRECTION. YEAH YES, SIR . PUBLIC COMMENT. ABSOLUTELY.

HOWDY, DAVIS. YEAH IT'S YOUR SORRY CLOSE TO THEM STARTED WITH A DAY HEIDI DUBBED FOR THE RECORD. THIS MIGHT TAKE LONGER THAN THREE MINUTES, BUT I'M GONNA TRY TO SUM IT UP. WHEN IT COMES TO. SPORTS RECREATION OF THIS TOWN. WE ASKED THE COMMUNITY WHAT THEY WANT. AND WHAT THEY NEED. BUT HOW MANY DO THEM ACTUALLY, NO. WHAT WE NEED. YOU HAVE MS. PARADE SITTING OVER HERE. SHE CAN GIVE YOU A WHOLE RUNDOWN ON SOCCER THAT I CAN'T GIVE YOU. YOU HAVE ME WITH EXPERIENCE WITH SHARING FOOTBALL IN THIS TOWN. I CAN GIVE YOU A WHOLE RUNDOWN ON WHAT WE NEED AS FAR AS THAT, LIKE, SHE SAID, I SEE A WAS PUT TOGETHER. WITH THE HOPES. OF THE J T A STRUCTURE WE CAME TOGETHER. THE PEOPLE IN THAT ROOM CAME TOGETHER AND SAID, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE WANNA DO FOR THE BETTERMENT OF OUR KIDS AND OUR COMMUNITY. THERE ARE A LOT OF CHALLENGES WE CAN GO AND LOOK AT OTHER. I HAVE PARENTS ALL THE TIME. COME AND SAY, WELL, WHY CAN'T WE BE LIKE PALM CITY? OR WHY CAN'T WE BE LIKE OKEECHOBEE? AND WHY CAN'T WE BE LIKE THAT? THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT COMMENT TO PLAY WHEN IT COMES TO THAT. ANY TOWN IS HIS OWN UNIQUE ENTITY. IT REALLY IS. AND YES, WE'VE LOOKED AT J T. A SOME OF US HAVE LOOKED AT OKEECHOBEE MARTIN COUNTY. I KNOW I'VE HAD A LONG LASTING RELATIONSHIP WITH MR GLADDING AND EVERYTHING WITH THE FIELDS AND EVERYTHING AND ALL THAT NATURE, BUT MARTIN COUNTY, THEY DON'T DO TRAVEL FOOTBALL. WHY DON'T THEY DO TRAVEL FOOTBALL BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THAT AREA DO IT, SO THAT WILL BE A BIG HIT ON THE COUNTY TO DO THAT? SO WHAT SPORTS DO THEY WANT TO TAKE OFF? I'M NOT MISTAKEN. BACK IN THE DAY THEY USED TO DO SOCCER AND, UM, THEY USED TO DO JUST PLAY IN HOUSE SOCCER. I KNOW IN OKEECHOBEE, THEY HAVE THEIR PARTS. DIRECT DEPARTMENT DOES SOCCER. THEY DO HAVE AN ADULT SOCCER LEAGUE AND THEY DO BASKETBALL. BUT THEIR TRAVEL SOCCER TEAMS, THEIR SOFTBALL AND THEIR BASEBALL IS RUN BY OCR. A THERE ARE MANY THEY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT ORGANIZATION, SO THERE ARE SOME OF US THAT HAVE DID THEIR HOMEWORK OUTSIDE OF WHAT'S GOING ON. SO I'M SAYING, IF YOU'RE GONNA PUT THIS COMMITTEE TOGETHER, I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU GET PEOPLE THAT HAVE HANDS ON THAT'S BEING IN THE DIRT TO KNOW WHAT IT'S

[02:00:02]

GOING TO TAKE TO GET ANY IN TOWN WHERE THEY NEED TO BE, AND IT'S LIKE WE SAY, IF WE WANT TO MODEL THE JT A. WE CAN'T RIGHT NOW. WE CAN'T REALLY HAVE BASEBALL BECAUSE WE GOTTA GET OUR FIELDS UP TO PARTY. WE WANT TO HAVE BASEBALL TODAY OR TOMORROW. WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO PLAY? WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO PLAY? WE HAVE 100 YARD FEEL IN THIS TOWN. IF WE DIDN'T. IF SOCCER AND FOOTBALL DIDN'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP. WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING OVER THAT ONE LITTLE FIELD, BUT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE 100 YARD REGULATION FIELD. BUT WE ONLY HAVE ONE AND WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT PLAY ON THAT FIELD. TOLD YOU I CAN GO ON. BUT THERE ARE HOLES IN THE FIELD. WE HAVE ANTS. THEY WE NEED TO TAKE THAT TIME TO GET OUR PARKS TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE YES, WITH MARTIN COUNTY. OKAY? THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL MAN MAN. OKAY? SO WE HAVE WE HAVE DIRECTION ON THIS. NOT SAYING ANY OBJECTION. SO YEAH, I THINK WE DO HAVE DIRECTION WE CAN PUT THE RESOLUTION TOGETHER FOR YOU. OKAY. FANTASTIC. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM

[14.

Supporting Graduating Seniors of 2023 and Youth Sports Funding

]

NUMBER 14? YES, THAT WAS I'M SORRY. THAT WAS A REQUEST ON SUPPORTING GRADUATION SENIORS FOR 2023 YOUTH SPORTS FUNDING AND I FORGOT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO READ IT. YEAH, THAT'S GREAT. BUT UM, THAT ONE IS, UH COUNCILWOMAN ANGELINA PEREZ WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE GRADUATION BECAUSE APPARENTLY WANNA PARADE AND I CAN GET MY FRIEND. STILL PICK THEM UP. TO COME UP AND TALK.

YOU KNOW, HE'S HE'S THE MAN THAT HAS BEEN BEHIND THE PARADE THE BARBECUE. ALREADY BEEN INTRODUCED, MAN. GOOD EVENING. PHILIP KEYS FOR THE RECORD, UM FIRST BEFORE I START. I WANT TO THANK ANGELINA FOR ALL THE WORK SHE PUT IN THIS WEEK FOR THE TEACHERS. SHE LITERALLY CALLED ME YESTERDAY AND SAY, COULD YOU DO IT? AND I WAS VERY BUSY TODAY, ACTUALLY, SO I CLEARED MY SCHEDULE. TO BE ABLE TO DO. WHAT WE DID THIS MORNING FOR A TOTAL ANYTIME IT HAS TO DO WITH TEACHERS AND HAS TO DO WITH KIDS. COUNT ME IN. WITH THAT BEING SAID. WE BACK WITH COVID STARTED. WE CAME UP WITH A PROGRAM I LIKE TO CALL IT PROJECT GRADUATION WHEN THEY CUT THE GRADUATION ALL FOR THE KIDS, AND WE SAID THAT'S A NO GO. LET'S DO SOMETHING IN OUR COMMUNITY. UM WE CAME UP WITH A WHAT? WE DID A PARADE THROUGH. THE SECOND YEAR. WE DID IT. THAT WAS IT WAS TWO YEARS IN THE MAKING. THE SECOND YEAR WE DID THE PARADE. WE WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT AGAIN THIS YEAR. UM I'VE ALREADY SPOKEN WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OF MARTIN COUNTY. I SENT THEM THE PROPER STUFF THAT SHE ASKED ME FOR. UM, THIS IS ACTUALLY COMING UP ON THE 21ST OF THIS MONTH. AND SHE SAID THAT WE WOULD. SHE COULD DO IT. SHE WOULD APPROVE THE FIRE ENGINE TO LEAD THE PARADE. BIG MOUND PARK, AND IT'S GOING TO RUN THROUGH HERE. INTO BUDDHA PARK, AND THEN ONCE WE GET THE BOOK APART, WE'RE GOING TO FEED THEM, WHICH IS WHAT I DO. SO, UM YEAH, THAT'S JUST A CONTINUATION OF WHAT SHE STARTED. AND YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE SENIORS, NOT JUST THE SENIORS, BUT THE GRADUATING CLASSES OF ANY TIME BEING THAT I WENT TO WAR FEEL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND CARRIED ON THE SOUTH FORK, SO WE WANT TO SHOW SOME APPRECIATION TO ALL OF THE GRADUATING CLASSES. SO IF I'M REMEMBERING CORRECTLY LAST YEAR, THERE WAS A PARADE RIGHT OR WAS IT THE YEAR BEFORE BEFORE? BECAUSE I PARTICIPATED IN THAT ONE. UM SO WITH A PARADE. IS IT GOING TO BE THE SAME LIKE IT WAS LIKE THE YEAR BEFORE? I THINK WE'RE WELL.

IT'S NOT LIKE SLOW WALKING PARADE. IT'S JUST GOING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE ROUTE THAT I GAVE HER WOULD RUN FROM BIG MOUNTAIN PARK. YEAH WHATEVER THAT ROAD IS. IT'S THE SAME AS THE CHRISTMAS FREE PRETTY MUCH, BUT INSTEAD OF STOPPING IT, POST PARK, WE'RE GONNA RUN ACROSS WAR FIELD BOULEVARD AND GO DOWN WITH FOREIGN ROLLED INTO BOOKING PART. COME UP WHERE WE CALL IT FIFTH STREET, BUT MARTIN LUTHER KING, AND THEN THERE'S A FIELD THERE WHERE WE'RE GOING TO STOP IN. DO THE FEEDING. OKAY? UM SO THERE DOESN'T NEED TO BE ANY ROAD CLOSURES ANY ANYTHING, BECAUSE, LIKE I SAID, WHAT I'M REMEMBERING FROM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, IT WAS JUST STRAIGHT SHOT, BANG THE LAWS OF BANG THE TRAFFIC AND AS FAR AS SPEED LIMITS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO NOTHING SPECIAL IS NEEDED FOR THAT. I DON'T THINK SO. AND IN THE PAST, I KNOW AND I'M JUST SEEING SOME OF THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. UM DO YOU HAVE FULL FUNDING BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ASKING FOR SUPPORT? NO, WE DIDN'T ASK PUBLICLY. WE

[02:05:03]

DIDN'T PUBLICLY ASKED. THERE'S A GROUP ON FACEBOOK THAT ME AND A COUPLE OF OTHER PARENTS, MOSTLY ARE PART OF AND WE'RE TAKING. WE JUST CAME TOGETHER AS FAR AS THE PAYMENTS GO, AND THEY SAID, WELL, I'LL BRING THIS OUT. DO THIS. I'LL DO THAT, AS FAR AS DONATIONS. WE DIDN'T PUBLICLY ASKED FOR DONATIONS, ANYTHING THE WORD DONATION TODAY BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S THE WAY IT WENT. WE DIDN'T PUBLICLY ACTS DONATIONS, BUT WE I'M SURE THAT THEY WOULD BE APPRECIATED IF SOMEBODY WERE TO STEP UP AND WANT TO ASK AGAIN. I DIDN'T RIGHT. OKAY YES. WHAT YOU JUST SAID. OKAY, GOOD, OKAY. YEAH. ABSOLUTELY OKAY. OKAY, SO. SO YOU'RE NOT CLOSING ANY ROAD, SO THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH WE DON'T REALLY NEED ANY DIRECTION FROM COUNSELING ACTION. IT WAS IT WAS REALLY ONLY BEING BROUGHT IN CASE IT NEEDED ACTION FROM YALDA. CLOSE THE ROADS. YEAH. IT SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER FUN EVENT OFFICER THING THAT I SEE. YOU HAVE TO GET ON. YOU HAVE TO GET ON THE MIC. YOU'VE BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH. YOU CAN TALK FIRST. OR MAYBE THE LIGHT DEPUTY JASON HIGGINS MARTIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. THE ONLY THING THAT I SEE IS GOING ACROSS WAR FIELD ADAMS. I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU HAVE TO ASSIGN US OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. WE HAVE ROAD THAT WILL BE OUT HERE THAT DAY, BUT I DO FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO BE THERE AT THAT LIGHT BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA GET CAUGHT UP IN THE LIGHT, AND I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO TRY TO GO THROUGH THAT LIGHT AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH EVERYBODY. THE LIGHT. GO ON. THE LIGHT WOULD BE YOUR BEST BET. BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO GO THERE AND TO GO ACROSS CIRCLE K. I MEAN LITERALLY. IF YOU WANT TO CROSS THE CIRCLE K, WE WOULD HAVE TO SHUT THE ROAD DOWN. JUST TO GET MAKE SURE EVERYBODY STAYS TOGETHER AND GET ACROSS. I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING WE DON'T MIND DOING. UM I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CARS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE AN OLYMPICS A SHORT THING OR NOT? BUT THAT'S THE THING IS. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW A NUMBER. I MEAN, WE COULD FIT THROUGH THAT LIGHT.

MAYBE 89 CARS, MAX, BUT IT DOES. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I LIKE CHANGES FAST. SO WHEN IT GETS CLOSER, IF YOU WOULD JUST LET US KNOW SO WE COULD BE THERE. YOU HAVE CONTROL OF THE BAR. WE DO HAVE CONTROL OF THE BOX. THAT WAY WE COULD BE THERE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. THAT WAY THEY CAN KEEP THE LIGHT. YEAH SEMIS, SO THAT'S TAKEN CARE OF. WE DON'T NEED TO REQUEST ANYTHING OR YOU'VE. YOU'VE GOT IT COVERED. DEPUTY HICKMAN WORKING OUR GOOD . THANK YOU, SIR. APPRECIATE THAT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S TAKEN CARE OF. COULDN'T OKAY, SO MOVING FORWARD FOR THE NEXT GRADUATION CLASS AND CLASS. COULD WE SUPPORT THIS? WHICH JUST, YOU KNOW? LIKE WE JUST DID TONIGHT. YOU KNOW, SHOW OUR APPRECIATION FOR THE GRADUATING CLASS OF YOU KNOW 2023 THIS YEAR AND THEN 24 25 MOVING FORWARD, YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW, AS COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE GRADUATING CLASS OF SOUTHFORK OR IN NEWTOWN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN THAT IS COMPLETED, INDIAN TOWN MEDAL AND YEAH, WHAT I FEEL NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE KEEPING FIFTH GRADE AT WAR FIELD. YOU KNOW SOMETHING TO YOU KNOW, RECOGNIZE. GRADUATES MOVING FORWARD. I KNOW WHAT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO DID THE DID THE DID THE LITTLE NEWS NEWSLETTER THING OR WHATEVER. I WOULD LIKE TO. YEAH I'M SAYING YES. FROM YEAH. SO WE DID THAT. WHAT A COUPLE OF YEARS THAT WAS HEARING THAT? YEAH, THAT THAT STARTED EARLY COVID AND THEN YEAH, I'M ALL FOR IT. YOU KNOW, JUST JUST SOMETHING SMALL, SIMPLE PRODUCE THAT EVERY YEAR FOR YAHOO, YOU KNOW, AND PUT SOMEBODY THAT HAS THAT SPARK TO CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD WITH IT. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT OF KIDS AND WE DON'T WANT TO MISS ANYBODY. BUT YOU CAN PUT ME DOWN FOR THE CLASS OF 2024 BECAUSE MY BABY IS GRADUATING AND I WILL START JUNE 1ST AND I THINK, YEAH, I THINK THAT'S THE THING. STILL A LOT WITH ANYTHING START EARLY, SO WE'RE NOT RUNNING RUNNING UP AGAINST DEADLINES, MAKING SURE THAT ONCE YOU KNOW SENIOR PICTURES COME OUT THAT YOU GET THOSE SENIOR PICTURES AND YOU MAKE SURE YOU TRY TO GET EVERYBODY AND YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY ALREADY SENT OUT THE LINK FOR CADDY FOR THE CLASS OF 2024 SO IT'S GETTING REAL. SO YOU KNOW, THE SOONER THE BETTER. ABSOLUTELY THAT WAY, IT'S DONE, AND THERE'S NOT ANY PRESSURE AND THERE'S NOTHING BUT HE MISSED. SO DOES THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT ? WE CONTINUE THAT SIMPLE.

APPARENTLY PAST YEAR OR TWO. WE'VE DROPPED THE BALL ON THAT, BUT CONTINUE THAT TRADITION OF CREATING THAT. NEWSLETTER IS IT WAS A SPECIAL NEWSLETTER. WHY NOT? YEAH INDIAN TOWN NEWSLETTER

[02:10:02]

. NO IT WAS. IT WAS A SPECIAL EDITION OF THE JUST PICTURES THEY SENT THE EMAIL PICTURE IS THAT EMOTION? WE NEED TO TAKE THAT WE IN THE FUTURE THAT WE THAT SHOULD AN ANNUAL THING THAT WE WILL PARTICIPATE AND DO IS A THE STAFF. THAT'S HERE. REMEMBERS WHAT THEY DID, RIGHT? YEAH. SO, YEAH, WE CAN RESURRECT THAT. OKAY BUT THERE'S NOT EMOTION IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE GOES ON INTO THE FUTURE AND MOTION OR NOT, IS GONNA BE THE THING THAT MAKES US REMEMBER.

IT'S GOING TO BE STAFF, REMEMBER ? YEAH ON THE CALENDAR, PUT IT ON THE CALENDAR THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO THE SENIOR WALK AT WAR FIELD AND MADE ME A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE CLASS OF 2023, SO THEY'RE NOT FORGOTTEN. MAYBE THAT ONE GROUP SHOT COULD BE ADDED TO THE NEWSLETTER. NICE YEAH, I HAVE A QUESTION, PHILLIP. THIS IS SERIOUS NOW. ARE YOU COOKING? YEAH. YEAH.

I'LL BE THERE. WHATEVER. MHM YEAH, AND THE OTHER PART OF THIS ITEM WAS YOUTH FUNDING, AND I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT TONIGHT ALREADY. I DON'T KNOW. UM, COUNCILWOMAN PEREZ, IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING, BUT I THINK THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WILL COME BACK AS PART OF THIS WHOLE PARKS. DO YOU KNOW IF WE FIND A WAY TO WORK MAKE IT WORK FOR THE KIDDOS? OBVIOUSLY, I THINK SOMETIMES WE FORGET THAT THERE THERE THERE ARE NEXT GENERATION. WE NEED TO INVEST JUST A LITTLE TIME INTO OUR FUTURE LEADERS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO INVEST. WHAT WHAT OUTCOME BUT WE'RE GONNA EXPECT FROM THEM. YOU KNOW? LIKE I SAID, HERE, I STAY HERE AS A ROLE MODEL. BECAUSE I KNOW KIDS ARE LOOKING UP TO ME. PEOPLE ASK . OH, HI, COACH ANGELINA. I WAS LIKE, HEY, YOU KNOW, OR YOU KNOW, WITH MY OLDEST IS COACHING NOW HE'S LIKE HI, COACH, HAROLD.

BUT YOU KNOW, WE'VE MADE AN IMPACT IN OUR COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW WHAT, LIKE I SAID, I CHALLENGE PARENTS TO STEP UP OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO STEP UP AND LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN. IF THEY CAN DO IT ON THE COAST, SO CAN WE. THAT'S MY MOTIVATION. LIKE I TOLD THE SCHOOLS THIS NO LAST NIGHT AT THE BAND CONCERT. IF THEY CAN DO IT, SO CAN WE JUST MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE PRACTICE, BUT I TOLD THE BAND WE WILL HAVE SOME OF REHEARSALS, BUT IT'S HOW WE GET BACK. WILL BE. WE WILL BE THE CURRENT EIGHTH GRADE BAN, BUT WE HAVE TO CHALLENGE OURSELVES TO MOTIVATE AND PUSH AND GIVE THAT LITTLE TIME THAT YOU KNOW, NOT EVERYBODY HAS TIME I GET IT. EVERYBODY HAS A LIFE.

BUT JUST COMMIT TO THIS LITTLE PROJECTS BECAUSE THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN THESE LITTLE KIDS LIFE I'VE SEEN IT. YOU KNOW, MY LITTLE ONE IS IN TROUBLE. HE'S IN PALM CITY, BUT I STILL I WOULDN'T WANT TO MISS PRACTICE HERE IN INDIAN TOWN BECAUSE I SEE THE LITTLE KIDS AND WHEN IT COMES TO UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION ALL THAT STRESS. I'M LIKE, DID I GET THE RIGHT SIZE? AND WHEN THEY GET THAT LITTLE UNIFORM THERE ARE SMILING FROM HEAD TO TOE. I SAID, OKAY, IT WAS ALL WORTH IT BECAUSE THAT LITTLE KID PLANE MAKING MEMORIES. YEAH. WE'RE NOT DOING ANY EMOTIONS THAT THERE'S. BAD OKAY, WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT. SURE SAY QUICK , YOU GUYS IN THE COMMUNITY STEPPED UP TO THAT THESE KIDS GO TO THE SPRING FOOTBALL GAME. DO YOU KNOW HE HAD KIDS WHEN THEY WALKED INTO THAT SIX BEDROOMS, AIRBNB. THEY SAID WE'RE RICH. WE'RE GONNA MENTION JUST THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAKING THESE BACKBONE IMPRESSIONS ON OUR MAKING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE YOUTH AND LET ME JUST ADD TO THAT. HISTORICALLY INDIAN TOWN HAS HAD AWESOME BASEBALL TEAMS WERE TALKING T BALL OR TALKING, YOU KNOW, COACH PITCH WE'RE TALKING LITERALLY. WE'RE TALKING TRAVEL. WE'VE HAD FOOTBALL. WE WERE HISTORICALLY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IT DID IT. IT WASN'T MARTIN COUNTY WAS NOT THE GOVERNMENT DOING GOVERNMENT IS NOT PANACEA . WE CAN'T JUST THROW MONEY AT IT AND THINK IT'S GOING TO CHANGE IT. IT'S NOT. IT IS THE COMMUNITY GATHERING TOGETHER AND BEING THE ONES THAT ARE AND USUALLY FALLS TO JUST A FEW THAT ARE THE WORKHORSES, BUT WE HAVE TO GET COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. THAT'S GOING TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. THINK WE SHOULD CHALLENGE OURSELVES AS COUNCIL MEMBERS. LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN GET OURSELVES INVOLVED. I KNOW.

LIKE I SAID, EVERYBODY HAS LIFE. EVERYBODY HAS WORK. BUT IS THIS LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT? ABSOLUTELY. OKAY SO WE'VE GOTTEN EVERYTHING TAKEN CARE OF ON THAT ONE. OKAY ANNOUNCEMENTS. OKAY
