]NUMBER NINE. OUR RESOLUTION. THIS IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 0 2 0 DASH. 2023 A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, FLORIDA AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 2023 ANNUAL OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGETS, RECOGNIZING CERTAIN REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. MICHAEL, YOU WANT TO THIS IS THE AMENDMENT THAT MR FOY WAS TALKING ABOUT.YOU CAN GO AHEAD. MADAM MAYOR COUNCIL. UM BUDGET MEMBER NUMBER ONE FINAL BUDGET PURSUANT FLORIDA STATUTES BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. SHALL BE AMENDED WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR. AND SO THIS IS MEETING THAT TIMELINE. I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY TRYING TO GET THIS DONE.
GET IT RIGHT. THIS IS IN GENERAL , UM NOT A REAL EXCITING VEGETA MANAGE A LOT OF CLEAN UP A LOT OF ADJUSTMENTS HERE. UM REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WITH THE GENERAL FUND IS, UM SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES, PARTICULARLY RELATED TO, UM, THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT DURING THE BUDGET, SO THERE'S CERTAIN DEFERRALS THAT WE HAVE NOT RECOGNIZED YET. UM YOU KNOW, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FISCAL YEAR, I BUDGETED THE ENTIRE BUCKET THAT WE HAD ON SPENT. AND BECAUSE I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW THE TIMING ON CERTAIN SPENDING AND CERTAIN THINGS HAVE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, DRUG IT ON A LITTLE BIT. THE BIGGEST TWO PROJECTS REMAINING.
FOR THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN IS THE 12 INCH WATER MAIN LOOP, WHICH WILL BE BID AND CONSTRUCTED. I BELIEVE IN IN THE COUNTY OR 24 IN THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. AND WE ALSO HAVE SOME
[00:35:07]
TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS WITH TYLER TECHNOLOGY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET KICKED OFF HERE. SO THOSE ARE THE THOSE TWO PROJECTS MAKE UP. MOST OF WHAT WE HAVE DEFERRED HERE IN THE GENERAL FUND, AND THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE REDUCTION IN THE BUDGET AT THE END OF 23. UM AGAIN. THERE'S A LOT OF JUST KIND OF BUDGET LINE ITEMS AND HERE THAT YOU KNOW, I'VE ADJUSTED MOSTLY DOWNWARD. YOU KNOW, WE YOU KNOW, WE TOOK A REALLY THOROUGH REVIEW OF THE FISCAL YEAR 24 BUDGET AND TRY TO EVALUATE WHAT DO WE NEED? WHAT DO WE NOT NEED? WHAT ARE WE SPENDING? WHAT ARE WE NOT SPENDING UM AND YOU KNOW, KIND OF JUST TIGHTENING UP SO THE OVERALL NET BUDGET DECREASE FOR FISCAL YEAR 23 IS A MILLION IS ABOUT $1.1 MILLION 1.6 MILLION DOWN AND EXPENSE AGAIN. PART OF THAT IS ACTUAL SPENDING AND DEFERRALS OF REVENUE. I SHOULD SAY ARE FOR MONEY AND INCREASE IN IN REVENUE AS WELL. OF 600,000. UM YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE SOME. SOME GRANTS WERE RECOGNIZING HIM. THE GENERAL FUND THAT WE HAVE SIMILAR EMBARRASSMENTS COMING WITH THE SEMINOLE AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS IN BOOKER PARK DRAINAGE. FINAL REIMBURSEMENTS CAME IN. AND UH, WE DID. WE WILL RECOGNIZE ABOUT $282,000 IN INTEREST INCOME FROM OUR FAR FLORIDA PRYING INVESTMENTS. HOWEVER THE ONLY DOWNER ON THE REVENUE SIDE WAS THE FACT THAT YOU KNOW OUR TAX GAS TAX REVENUES DID DECREASE SO I NEEDED TO ADJUST THAT BY THE $200,000 IN THE GENERAL FUND.UNFORTUNATELY INTEREST INCOME KIND OF JUST, YOU KNOW, WASHES IT, BUT THAT'S THE THAT'S ANOTHER EFFECT IN THE GENERAL FUND. UM AMERICAN RESCUE FUND. WHAT I HAVE HERE IS IN ALL OF THESE PROJECTS WERE COUNCIL APPROVED AT SOME POINT, UM AND I'M RECOGNIZING THE EXPENDITURES THAT WE INCURRED DURING FISCAL YEAR 23. WITH THE OFFSETTING. GRANT RECOGNITION OF REVENUE WAS DEFERRED REVENUE NOW WE RECOGNIZE THERE'S ACTUAL REVENUE BECAUSE OF THE MATCHING EXPENSES , AND IN THAT FUND, WE DID HAVE $37,000 IN INTEREST INCOME, WHICH WILL BE CONSIDERED PROGRAMMING COME FOR THAT GRANT. AH WE DID SPEAK EARLIER. I THINK MISS NIKON SPOKE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY TRUST FUNDS, SO COMMUNITY TRUST FUND. WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY EXPENDITURES IN 23, BUT WE HAVE ACCUMULATED 37,000 AND INTEREST DURING 23 SO I DO HAVE ABOUT ANOTHER $1500 AT THE LOCAL DEPOSITORY THAT I DID NOT MOVE TO THE INVESTMENT ACCOUNT JUST TO KEEP THAT ACCOUNT OPEN, SO WE TECHNICALLY HAVE ABOUT 38 5 ALL TOLD, BUT WE DID AGAIN. A CREW 38 $37,000. YEAH 20 PUT AN ITEM TOGETHER. I WAS TARGETING THE FIRST MEETING IN JANUARY TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. ON GETTING YOUR COMMITTEE BACK UP AND RUNNING AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. WE DO HAVE A GENERAL GOVERNMENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND AGAIN TO GRANTS HERE THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDERWAY. ONE IS UPTOWN DRAINAGE DESIGN THAT IS A $700,000 GRANT FROM THE IT'S A 5050 MATCH. THEY WILL REIMBURSE US UP TO 350,000 SO EXPENDITURES AND OFFSETTING REVENUE HERE. FOR THAT. AND THE CIVIC CENTER. UH EMERGENCY SHELTER HARDENING PROJECT IS ALSO, UM, WE'RE SPENDING MONEY ON THAT. NOW WE HAVE BASICALLY COMPLETED THE DESIGN. WE SPENT 40,000 ON DESIGNED AND WE'RE PRETTY SOON READY TO GO TO BED ON THAT, AND THERE'S SOME ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS AND TASKS OF THE VILLAGE MANAGER, AND I AND MR NOLAN, WORKING ON TO MOVE FORWARD TO THE NEXT PHASE, BUT THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THAT FUND AND THE WATER UTILITY FUND. UM I THINK DID VERY WELL DURING FISCAL YEAR 23 AGAIN. WE'RE STILL FINE TUNING SOMETHING'S ON EXPENDITURE SIDE. THERE WAS SOME UNANTICIPATED EXPENDITURES. UM ON THE SEWER IN THE SEWER SYSTEM . I THINK I KNOW WE HAD SEVERAL PUMPS THAT WENT DOWN. WE HAD THE ISSUE WITH THE BLOWERS OVER THERE. THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, SOME EXPENSE THAT WE WEREN'T ANTICIPATING. GENERAL OPS. WE WERE DOWN A BUDGET, SO A NET REDUCTION OF EXPENSE. AND YOU KNOW, WE DID REALIZE OR RECOGNIZE SEVERAL UM UH, INCREASES IN CONNECTION FEES. MOST OF THOSE CONNECTION FEES WERE RESULTS FROM TERRA LAGO PHASES ONE A AND ONE B. UM WE DID GET SOME GRANT REIMBURSEMENTS FOR THE CNN GRIP PROJECT THAT MR NOLAN COMPLETED. AND WE DO HAVE A LAND LEASE OVER THERE. ACTUALLY THAT WE'RE COLLECTING REVENUE ON NOW FROM FLORIDA PUBLIC UTILITIES. THEY HAVE LITTLE SITE THEIR ON FARM ROAD THAT THEY HAVE SOME EQUIPMENT. AND THE FENCED AREA AND WE'RE COLLECTING LEASE REVENUE AND HANDSOME, RECOGNIZING THAT AND AGAIN ALSO R FLORIDA PRIME INVESTMENTS ABOUT 80,000 INTEREST INCOME, SO THAT'S GREAT. THAT'S GREAT NEWS. THAT'S VERY POSITIVE. IN OUR LAST THREE FUNDS HERE. UM STATE REVOLVING FUND WATER TREATMENT PLANT CONSTRUCTION. SO YOU ALL CERTAINLY REMEMBER WE WERE PLANNING ON MOVING FORWARD WITH CONSTRUCTION PROJECT FOR THE FOR THE CURRENT WATER SYSTEM. UM, IMPROVEMENTS ARE STILL PLANNED. ALL WE HAVE INCURRED RELATED TO THIS AT THIS POINT WITH THE PROFESSIONAL BID SERVICES ENGINEERING A BID SERVICES FOR
[00:40:01]
THE FOR THE PROJECT THAT THE BID OPENING WAS I THINK IN JULY AND YOU KNOW WE DID. WE REJECTED THOSE BIDS SO WE ALWAYS INCURRED AS THE EXPENSES RELATED TO HIS PROFESSIONAL FEES IN THAT FUND.THEY MAY BE REIMBURSABLE. NOT SURE YET, BUT WE'RE STILL LOOKING INTO THAT. AND WE HAVE SOME PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND PART OF ME PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RELATED TO PERMITTING FOR THE NEW WATER SYSTEM. THE WATER PLANT THAT WE ARE PLANNING ON BUILDING HOPEFULLY, IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS HERE THIS AGAIN THIS IS ALL MONEY THAT WE'RE JUST GOING TO ACCUMULATE IN TERMS OF EXPENDITURE RECORDS. AT SOME POINT, WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET SOME SORT OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR THAT, BUT WE'RE SEPARATELY IDENTIFYING IT FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES. AND WE'LL DEAL WITH IT, ACCORDING AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IS, UM ONE OF THE REALLY AMAZING GRANTS THAT WE HAVE THE $38 MILLION IN SEWER IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE VILLAGE. WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED WITH THAT. SO WE'VE SPENT ABOUT $670,000 IN TOTAL. SOME OF THAT IS SOME EQUIPMENT OVER THERE.
UNDERGROUND CAMERA AND TRAILER. AND SEVERAL, UM I SHOULD, SAY $400,000 AND PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING DESIGN FEES FOR WASTEWATER DESIGN PLANT THE PLANT OF WASTEWATER SYSTEM AND LIFT STATION IMPROVEMENTS. AND THAT IS REALLY THE NUTS AND BOLTS. NOT REAL EXCITING, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST IT'S CLEAN UP, AND THAT'S WHAT WE GOT TO DO WITH THIS TIME OF YEAR, SO AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE ON THE BUDGET. I REALLY APOLOGIZE. YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GOT TO COME TOGETHER TO PUT THAT BOOK OUT. AND I'M TRYING TO TRYING TO DO IT RIGHT. UM AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S A DOCUMENT THAT YOU CAN WORK OUT AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN SO THANK YOU. AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS HAS A QUESTION TALKING ABOUT THE RP FUNDS. UM WHAT IS THE TIME FRAME THOSE HAVE TO BE SPENT IN A CERTAIN YES, MA'AM.
UM YES, I WAS ACTUALLY TALKING WITH VILLAGE MANAGER ABOUT THIS TODAY WITH THE ORIGINAL TREASURY . GU THEY HAD TO BE EXPANDED BY DECEMBER. 31ST 2024 THERE WAS A NEW GUIDANCE JUST ISSUED TODAY THAT IT'S AMAZING JUST TODAY BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY. UM UH, IT APPEARS THAT THEY'RE CHANGING THE RULE TO WHERE YOU WILL HAVE TO COMMIT FUNDS BY THE END OF DECEMBER OF NEXT YEAR, BUT THEY CAN BE EXPENDED. UP UNTIL 2026. SO WE WON'T HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH THAT. AND EVEN I THINK IF WE HAD TO SPEND IT ALL DURING 24, IT'S LIKELY THAT WE WILL. UM I THINK I THINK MR NOLAN IS, YOU KNOW PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT WILL COMPLETE THE BID AND THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE. OF THE 12 INCH WATER LOOP PRETTY COMFORTABLY DURING 24 AGAIN.
THAT'S A THAT'S A. THAT'S A MATCH THAT WE HAVE. WITH PROCEEDS WE GOT FROM THE COUNTY.
YOU MAY RECALL WE GOT A MILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS FROM THE COUNTY. AND WE HAVE A MILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS OVER OUR MONEY. WE JUST HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY FIRST. I THINK WE'LL DO THAT. AND THEN WE'LL SPEND THE COUNTY'S MONEY LAST ALONG WITH ANY CONTRIBUTIONS. WE HAVE TO MAKE OURSELVES TO FINISH THE PROJECT, DEPENDING ON COST OF THE BED OPENING. UM BUT, YEAH, THERE ARE. TYLER PROJECT IS THE LAST THING HERE. WE'RE TRYING TO GET THAT MOVING AS FAST AS WE CAN. BUT I THINK WE'LL BE WE'LL BE FINE EVEN IF SOME THINGS DO. STRUGGLING TO 25, WHICH I DOUBT I THINK THE WATER PROJECT WILL BE DONE ARE TYLER STUFF WILL BE SHOULD BE DONE BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR. BUT THAT GIVES US I'M DEFINITELY GIVES ME SOME COMFORT AND EASE KNOWING THAT IT'S NOT, UM THAT THAT DEADLINE IS NOW CHANGING. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. YES THANK YOU, MR FLORIO. SO JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON MAYOR GIVES THOMAS'S QUESTION ON ARBOR FUNDS. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN GET AN UPDATE OF LIKE EXACTLY WHAT HAS BEEN SPENT ON THE ARPAIO BUNS TODAY? UM ABSOLUTELY. YOU STATED THAT S R F C I P FUND THE 430 THAT WE REJECTED THE BIDS. OKAY SO AFTER THAT, WHAT HAPPENED? WELL, I THINK WE'RE RETOOLING ON THAT AGAIN. THERE'S A ARRAY OF PROJECT SCOPE THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE. UM YOU KNOW, I'M WELL AWARE THAT YOU KNOW THEY'RE STILL PLAYING ON REHABILITATING. WELL FIELDS. WE NEED TO EXPAND OUR ON SITE STORAGE CAPACITY.
THERE ARE SOME, I THINK ELECTORAL GRADE IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO ELECT ELECTRICAL UPGRADES THAT NEED TO BE DONE IN THAT SYSTEM. THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER THINGS A VILLAGE MANAGER.
KNOWS OR IS AWARE OF THAT. I'M NOT REMEMBERING AT THIS MOMENT, SO THERE'S GONNA BE IMPROVEMENTS. THE ISSUE THAT WE HAVE IS THE ACTUAL TREATMENT FACILITY NEEDS TO MOVE TO THIS NEW MODEL OF THE NEW PLANT. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO YOU KNOW THE ORIGINAL PLAN WAS $12 MILLION PROJECT THAT WE WERE ANTICIPATING ON GETTING FROM THE SRF. I BELIEVE THE BID OPENING CAME BACK AT 26 MILLION 26 MILLION. SO UM, NOT DOABLE, NOT FEASIBLE. SO WE'RE YOU KNOW THAT THAT BID WAS REJECTED. I THINK, ACTUALLY TWO BIDS. IT WAS A NO BID WITH PRICE AND THEN THE $26 MILLION BID. AND SO WE'RE KIND OF JUST PICKING AND CHOOSING CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE KNOW WE HAVE TO DO THE WATER SYSTEM AND THE AQUIFER. THE WELL. FIELDS ARE CERTAIN. YOU KNOW, UM HIGH SERVICE PUMPS. THOSE THINGS STILL NEED TO BE. ACQUIRED AND UPGRADED AND REHABILITATED. BUT
[00:45:06]
YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF AN ACTUAL TREATMENT PLANT AND FOR CURRENT RESIDENTS AND FOR ANY FUTURE DEMAND. WE HAVE TO MOVE TO A NEW MODEL, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE THAT'S WHERE VERY ACTIVELY DOING SO OKAY. AND THEN YOU SAID, LIKE YOU SAID THAT IT'S NOT GUARANTEED THAT WE'LL GET REFUNDED BACK THAT MONEY. UM THE MONEY WE'VE SPENT ON THE SRF. I MEAN, GET AND AGAIN. THIS IS MAYBE ANOTHER QUESTION. I'LL HAVE TO ASK OUR CONSULTANT BUT, YOU KNOW, WE EXPENDED MONIES FOR A BID THAT WE REJECTED. SO I DON'T KNOW THEY WILL REIMBURSE US FOR THAT. I THINK IT'S UNLIKELY AGAIN. THERE'S COSTS THAT I AM CONFIDENT. I'M CERTAIN WE WILL EVENTUALLY GET REIMBURSED FOR AS WE START TO EXPEND COSTS RELATED TO THE EXISTING AQUIFER AND WELL FIELDS AND PUMP PUMPING SYSTEMS AND STORAGE TANKS. THERE'S NO DOUBT WE'LL GET REIMBURSEMENT FOR THAT. BUT THIS PARTICULAR PIECE WHICH IS THE ONLY PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION PORTION OF THE SRF LOAN. THAT PIECE, UM IN TERMS OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FORBIDDING . I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO NECESSARILY BE REIMBURSED. I'M NOT COUNTING ON OKAY? AND WHO DETERMINES THAT THE STATE DP WHEN WE SUBMIT THAT UP THERE? YEAH, OKAY. AND THEN, UM, AT YOUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND, 300 YOU HAVE UPTOWN DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS DESIGN AND YOU HAVE IT IN CONSTRUCTION AND PROGRESS? YES BECAUSE IT'S IN PROGRESS THAT YOU WILL HAVE. IT CONFIRMS THAT STANDARD PRACTICE. SO WHEN YOU'RE WHEN YOU ARE BUILDING, YOU KNOW A SYSTEM AND WE DID THE SAME THING WITH THE BOOK OF PARK, FOR EXAMPLE, SO WHEN YOU INCUR COSTS RELATED TO A SYSTEM THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME AN ASSET. YOU'RE BUILDING YOUR BUILDING WHAT YOU CALL CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS EVENTUALLY, WHEN YOU'RE DONE AS WE'VE DONE WITH THE BOOKER PARK PROJECT THAT MOVES FROM CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS TO CAPITAL ASSET AND THEN IT BECOMES AN ASSET THAT WE DEPRECIATE. IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE AUDIT EACH YEAR, BUT THAT'S JUST A NORMAL PHASE. IT'S SOMETHING WE OWN. WE'RE BUILDING AN ASSET IS WHAT WE'RE DOING IS NOT ALL THAT THOSE ARE ALL ELIGIBLE COSTS OF DESIGN PORTION OF IT, EVENTUALLY , THE CONSTRUCTION PORTION OF IT , YOU'LL SEE THE SAME THING HERE WE'RE DOING WITH THE D E P PROJECTS FOR WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS. ANYTHING ELSE? THOSE ARE THOSE ARE COSTS THAT WE INCUR TO BECOME ASSETS ON OUR BOOKS. WE CLASSIFY THEM AS CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS. ONCE THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED. WE FLIPPED THEM TO SOME SORT OF ASSET. WATER. WASTEWATER WHAT HAVE YOU AND THEN WE BEGIN TO DEPRECIATION PROCESS. SO DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE WHAT? I'M TRYING TO SAY? THEY'RE NOT EXPENSIVE. AN ASSET. I UNDERSTAND. UM, BECAUSE I DO THIS. YES. EVERY DAY. YEAH. UM, BUT THE TOWN. DRAINAGE IS IN THE DESIGN SAFETY. YOU KNOW HOW LONG OR WHAT PERCENTAGE IS THAT IT? IT ISN'T THIS IS MY CONCERN WITH THIS AND JUST FOR STAFF IS WE DID HAVE PROBLEMS. WITH OUR LOCAL PARK DRAINAGE, UM, DESIGN. AND SO YOU KNOW, HAVING THAT COMMUNITY INPUT. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT IS DONE DURING THE DESIGN PHASE BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH A CONSTRUCTION. PHASING COME UP WITH AN OPEN A CAN OF WORMS STUFF. I CAN'T ANSWER THAT. I MEAN, I BELIEVE WE ARE MORE THAN 50% COMPLETE IN TERMS OF DESIGN. I DON'T KNOW IN TERMS OF WHAT SORT OF OUTREACH HAS BEEN DONE WITH THIS AND OR WHAT? THE GENESIS OF THE DESIGN PLAN. I MEAN, THE DESIGN FOR THIS GOES BACK A WAYS I WOULD SAY AT LEAST ALMOST TWO YEARS AND I TALKED TO MR NOLAN ABOUT IT FOR VARIOUS REASONS. THIS PROJECT, YOU KNOW, HAD BEEN DELAYED A YEAR. IT'S TECHNICALLY SCHEDULED TO EXPIRE, BUT WE WILL REQUEST RENEWAL IN JUNE 30TH OF NEXT YEAR. UM, I THINK IT'LL IT'LL TAKE PROBABLY FOOD THE END OF NEXT YEAR TO COMPLETE. THE DESIGN AGAIN ARE PROJECTED COSTS FOR DESIGN IS ABOUT 700,000, HALF OF WHICH WILL BE REIMBURSABLE, BUT I REALLY CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT SORT OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH OR DISCUSSION THERE WAS WITH THE COMMUNITY BEFORE THE DESIGN. WAS WAS APPROVED. UM I'M SURE IT WAS VERY MUCH BASED ON YOU KNOW, HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS AND STORM WATER NEEDS AND YOU KNOW THE ENGINEERS DO WHAT ENGINEERS DO THEY KNOW WHERE THE PROBLEM AREAS ARE, AND THEY CERTAINLY TALKED TO STAFF AND OTHERS, AND, UM YEAH, I THINK THAT'S. BECAUSE WHEN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I JUST WANTED, YOU KNOW EXPRESS WAS THAT CURRENTLY THE UPTOWN AREA OR IT'S BEEN UPTOWN AND BUDDHA PARK AREA. WE'VE BEEN HAVING GAS LINES PUT THROUGH OUR, UM SO LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE. THEY'RE ABOUT TO COME TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE NEXT COMING WEEKS, AND THEY'RE PUTTING IT IN THE FRONT AND FROM WHAT I REMEMBER IF WE WERE GOING TO DO THIS DRAINAGE AREA DOWN LIKE IN THE UPTOWN AREA, I REMEMBER LOOKING AT THE MAP AND IN MY AREA, IT WAS GOING TO BE LITERALLY RIGHT BY MY HOUSE. SO LIKE IF THE LINE IS GOING THROUGH THE GASOLINE GAS LINES GOING THROUGH SO HAVE YOU GUYS[00:50:02]
THOUGHT ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE YOUR DESIGNED SOMETHING THEN? THE GAS LINE MIGHT BE UNDERNEATH . WILL YOU BE ABLE TO DO A DITCH UNDERNEATH? YEAH I MEAN, YOU KNOW, MY OPINION ON ON THAT IS, YOU KNOW, I'M SURE THERE ARE. YOU KNOW, WHEN THE ENGINEERS DO THEIR DESIGN PLAN, THEY'RE WELL AWARE OF WHAT THE UNDERGROUND CONFLICTS ARE. THEY MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THAT THEY PLANNED FOR THAT. UM, WHAT WE WHAT I CAN SAY IS, THERE MAY BE A SITUATION LIKE WE DIDN'T HAVE WITH BOOKING PARK WHERE, UM, CERTAIN ACCESS TO VACANT LOTS AND WE HAD TO DO THE DRIVEWAYS IN THOSE SITUATIONS. WE MAY AND I THINK WE LIKELY WILL ENCOUNTER SOME OF THOSE SITUATIONS IN THIS PROJECT AGAIN. RIGHT NOW. WE DON'T HAVE ANY FUNDING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PORTION. THIS PROJECT. WE'RE JUST IN DESIGN PHASE. THE CONSTRUCTION IS A WHOLE OTHER REQUEST. UM BUT, YEAH, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF WATER LINES, GAS LINES. UM YOU KNOW, F PL TELECOM, YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW WHAT'S THERE THEY'VE DESIGNED THEY'VE DONE. THEY'RE DESIGNED FOR THAT TO ADDRESS THAT. UM BUT THE LINES ARE BEING MOVED RIGHT NOW AND THEY WILL DO RELOCATES.ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION. SO I YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT. SPECIFICALLY I THINK THAT'S A QUESTION THAT I'LL HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, MAYBE DEFER TO MR NOLAN, ER ENGINEERS, REALLY THE REASON WHY I STATE THIS WHILE THIS WHILE YOU'RE PRESENTING THE BUDGETS BECAUSE EVERYTHING FLOWS BACK TO THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT. SO LIKE YOU ARE THE PERSON THAT GOES AND SITS WITH EACH DEPARTMENT AND TALKS. TWO OKAY, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO AND ALL THAT, AND SO WHEN THERE'S EXTRA COSTS AT THE VERY END OUT BECAUSE BACK TO YOUR BUDGET, SO, UM, TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, CURVE, SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PREVENT IN THE FUTURE, AND WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF DESIGN. UM AND SPEAKING ABOUT THOSE ISSUES THAT WE HAD WITH THE MLK, SURE, BUT THE ONLY THING I WANTED TO SAY IS THANK YOU BECAUSE I KNOW BUDGET SEASON. IT'S CRAZY, SO I THINK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK AND THANK YOU YOUR STAFF TO THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION QUESTIONS. SO.
MESS. WE'RE STILL KWAN. AND AS I'M LOOKING AT IT SO WE'RE STILL ON NINE MOTION. MOTION. SECOND AN AIDE AND SECONDED ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS NO, MA'AM ANY FURTHER. COUNCIL COMMENTS. NO NONE. ALL IN FAVOR HIGH. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. WE'RE ONTO OUR ITEM NUMBER 10, OUR FIRST READING OF

ORDINANCES. OKAY THIS IS AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, FLORIDA MENDING THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS TO CREATE CHAPTER EIGHT DIVISION TO BE ENTITLED MOBILITY PLAN AND MOBILITY FEES PROVIDING FOR AUTHORITY PROVIDING FOR GENERAL PROVISIONS FROM A BIT BELLETTI FEESS. DEFINITIONS PURPOSE AND RULES OF CONSTRUCTION, PROVIDING FOR ADOPTION OF THE BOMB BELOW THE PLANT IN MOBILITY FEET TECHNICAL REPORT.

UM I WILL INTRODUCE. SO YOU HAVE YOUR CONSULTANT HERE WITH NEW URBAN CONCEPTS. MR PAUL. HE DID A PRESENTATION WITH THE PLANNING, ZONING AND APPEALS BOARD. THEY APPROVED THIS UNANIMOUSLY, UM WITH A FEW MINOR REVISIONS. AND WE'VE IMPLEMENTED THOSE REVISIONS. AND WITH THAT ALTERNATE OVER TO, MR PAUL.GREAT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MY NAME IS JONATHAN PAULA PRINCIPLE OF NEW URBAN CONCEPTS AND HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO HEAR ME THIS EVENING. I KNOW WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF ZOOM PRESENTATIONS WHERE IT'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT GARBLED. UM, BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE THIS EVENING IS, UH, A DETAILED SUBJECT, AND IT'S DOCUMENTED IN A DETAILED REPORT THAT'S OVER 200 PAGES IN LENGTH. BUT IT IS A CULMINATION OF A STUDY. THAT'S BEEN ALMOST THREE
[00:55:04]
YEARS IN THE PROCESS. SO THE VILLAGES, MOBILITY PLANNING MOBILITY FEE IS A VISION OVER THE NEXT 22 YEARS FOR HOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO MOVE AROUND THE COMMUNITY WHETHER THEY CHOOSE TO WALK, BICYCLE, UM RIDE TRANSIT OR DRIVE THEIR OWN VEHICLE. AND IT'S THE BASIS FOR WHAT'S KNOWN AS A MOBILITY FEE, AND THIS IS A CHARGE ON NEW DEVELOPMENT. TO MITIGATE ITS IMPACT TO THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. MOBILITY FEES ARE NOT ATTACKS ON EXISTING RESIDENTS. THEY'RE NOT CHARGED ANNUALLY. 31 TIME ASSESSMENT ON NEW DEVELOPMENT ONLY. AND THIS YEAR DOWN. AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE STEPS IN THE PROCESS. THE VILLAGES, COMPREHENSIVE PLANET ALREADY LAID THE FOUNDATION. TO STUDY A MOBILITY FEE AND WHO ALSO DEVELOPED A MOBILITY PLAN THE STEPS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING OR DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN, DEVELOPMENT OF THE FEE AND THE IMPLEMENTING ORDINANCE ITSELF. AND THEN FOLLOWING ON THAT ACTIVITY, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ADMINISTRATIVE UM EFFORTS. MOST OF THE WHICH INVOLVED UM BUDGETING ANNUALLY AS FUNDS COME IN FOR THE PROJECTS IDENTIFIED IN THE MOBILITY PLAN SO EACH YEAR YOUR STAFF WILL MAKE AN ESTIMATE BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PERMITS THAT YOU HAVE IN THE PROJECTION OF THE BUDGET AND AVAILABLE REVENUES. THEN YOU HAVE A LIST OF PROJECTS IN THE MOBILITY PLAN THAT YOU AS A VILLAGE COUNCIL WILL THEN PRIORITIZE AND PUT INTO YOUR ANNUAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM. THERE ARE NUMBER OF STEPS THAT ACTUALLY GO INTO DEVELOPING A MOBILITY PLANNING MOBILITY FEE, AND THESE ARE LARGELY TO MEET LEGAL AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS, BOTH FROM FLORIDA STATUTE AND SOME CASE LAW THAT SORT OF GOVERNED IMPACT FEES AND MOBILITY FEES FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER. THIS IS A PLAN. IT'S NOT BICYCLE ONLY IT'S NOT PEDESTRIAN. ONLY IT'S NOT ANTI CAR, IT'S ALL MODES OF TRANSPORTATION. UM RECOGNIZING THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL GOING TO DRIVE. PEOPLE STILL NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO TRANSIT. AND THOSE THAT DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A VEHICLE OR DON'T WANT TO HAVE A VEHICLE. UM, A BICYCLE OR WALK, SO THE IDEA IS TO REALLY PROMOTE ALL MODES OF TRAVEL AND TO MAKE IT SAFER FOR ALL MODES TO DO SO.YOUR CURRENT SYSTEM THAT'S IN PLACE TODAY IS WHAT'S KNOWN AS PROPORTIONATE SHARE AND TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY, AND THAT LOOKS AT HOW MUCH TRAFFIC NEW DEVELOPMENT IS PUTTING ON THE ROADWAY. UM PRIOR TO 2009 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAD THE ABILITY TO STOP DEVELOPMENT.
AFTER THERE WAS NOT ADEQUATE ROADWAY CAPACITY. THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE STOPPED THAT. THE IMPLEMENTED WHAT'S KNOWN AS PROPORTIONATE SHARE, SO DEVELOPMENT HAD THE RIGHT TO MOVE FORWARD. AS LONG AS THEY MEDICATED OR PAID THEIR SHARE OF THE IMPACT. SO IT NO LONGER BECAME A TOOL WHERE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS COULD SAY THERE'S TOO MUCH TRAFFIC. WE DON'T HAVE CAPACITY. WE'RE NOT GOING TO APPROVE YOU. LEGISLATURE DID AWAY WITH THAT, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT REALLY HAMSTRUNG A LOT OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THROUGHOUT FLORIDA, AND THERE WAS A LOT OF OUTCRY THAT WENT ON IN A FEW YEARS LATER IN 2013, THE LEGISLATURE ACTUALLY INTRODUCED MOBILITY FEES. AS AN OPTION FOR OR AS AN ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY. THAT ALLOWS YOU TO COLLECT FUNDS FROM DEVELOPMENT PROPORTIONAL TO THEIR IMPACT AND ALLOW THEM TO MOVE FORWARD. SO REALLY, THIS IS A AN OUTGROWTH OF CHANGES AND CONCURRENCY BY THE LEGISLATURE.
HAVE SOME OF WHICH GO BACK ALMOST 20 YEARS. THE PLAN ITSELF LOOKS AT HOW PEOPLE MOVE AROUND TODAY AND HOW THEY MAY MOVE AROUND IN THE FUTURE. THE SHERIFF, YOU'VE SEEN MANY ELECTRIC SCOOTERS IN YOUR COMMUNITY NOW, OR ELECTRIC POWER DEVICES, BUT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE PURCHASING THEM FROM AMAZON OR WALMART, AND THEY'RE FINDING OTHER WAYS TO GET AROUND OR AN ELECTRICAL BIKE. UM THE THING WITH EACH ONE OF THOSE MODES OF TRAVELS, THEY TEND TO MOVE IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT SPEED MOBILITY PLAN REALLY LOOKS TO HOW DO YOU ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE WALKING AT A SLOWER PACE THAN USING A BICYCLE OR ELECTRIC POWER DEVICE. AND THEN, OF COURSE, CARS TRAVELING AT 30 MILES PLUS ON THE ROADWAYS. AND SO MOBILITY PLAN INCLUDES A MIXTURE OF, UM ON ROAD BICYCLE FACILITIES AND OFF ROAD FACILITIES. PRIMARILY OFF ROAD THROUGH SIDEWALKS, PATHWAYS AND MULTI USE TRAILS. AND AS NEW DEVELOPMENT OCCURS IN THE FUTURE , YOU MAY HAVE A DEMAND FOR INCREASED USE OF GOLF CARTS, UM, ON THOSE PATHWAYS AS WELL, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF COMMUNITIES IN FLORIDA ARE STARTING TO EXPERIENCE. THERE
[01:00:05]
ARE A NUMBER OF NEW ROADWAYS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED IN THE PLAN, AND THOSE WOULD LARGELY OCCUR.IF AND WHEN NEW DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. BOTH WITHIN THE VILLAGE AND IF AREAS INTO THE FUTURE WORD ANNEX, THIS PLAN IS LOOKING OUT OVER 2 2045. SO IT'S NOT LOOKING DOWN TOMORROW OR NEXT WEEK, BUT IT IS LOOKING OVER A 20 YEAR PERIOD. AND THEN DURING THAT HORIZON, THE VILLAGES, BOUNDARIES MAY EXPAND. YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT COME IN. THE PLAN ITSELF STARTED TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK. THAT ALL THAT DEVELOPMENT WOULD ACTUALLY HELP BUILD NEW ROADWAYS, AS OPPOSED TO JUST COMING OUT ONTO THE COUNTER HIGHWAY OR WAR FIELD OR IN OSCEOLA AND USING YOUR EXISTING STREETS AND ADDING MORE TRAFFIC BUT ACTUALLY LAYING OUT A NETWORK OF FUTURE ROADWAYS. WE LOOKED AT A FAIRLY LARGE STUDY AREA. THE VILLAGE ITSELF IS ACTUALLY RELATIVELY SELF CONTAINED. BUT FOR SERVICES THAT DON'T BELONG IN THE VILLAGE. YOU DO HAVE TO DRIVE A FAIR AMOUNT DISTANCE, EITHER GOING DOWN INTO PALM BEACH COUNTY OR GOING OUT TO, UH TO MARTIN COUNTY AND OVER TO STEWART. SO WE WERE SORT OF COMPELLED TO LOOK AT A BROADER HORIZON. AND ALSO THE MOBILITY FEE WAS INTENDED TO REPLACE ALL OR A PORTION OF MARTIN COUNTY'S ROADWAY IMPACT FEE. SO IN ORDER TO DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO LOOK BEYOND JUST THE BOUNDARIES OF THE VILLAGE. UM AND THIS IS THE ACTUAL THE MOBILITY PLAN THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. AND AS YOU SEE THE CORE PART OF THE VILLAGE THE PRIORITY. EMPHASIS IS RETROFITTING RAILWAYS TO ADD SIDEWALKS. AND SLOWING DOWN TRAFFIC ON EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS. THOSE ARE TWO OF THE PRIMARY MODES AND THEN BUILDING A PARALLEL NETWORK TO WAR FIELD BOULEVARD. SO NOT ALL TRAVEL HAS TO GO OUT ONTO THAT. AND THEN THE MAJORITY OF THE GREEN LINES. YOU SEE THOSE A LARGE PART OF THOSE OR OUTSIDE OF CURRENT VILLAGE LIMITS. AND THAT'S REALLY TO START PUTTING A NETWORK AND A DISCUSSION IN PLACE THAT IF DEVELOPMENT EITHER COMES IN FROM THE COUNTY OR ANNEXES INTO THIS VILLAGE INTO THE FUTURE THAT THEY START TO HELP BUILD A GRIDDED ROADWAY NETWORK FOR YOU, UM YOU AS A VILLAGE HAVE A AN OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW. YOU HAVE NOT BEEN OVERRUN BY GROWTH. BUT BECAUSE OF THE HIGH VALUES OF LAND TO THE SOUTH OF YOU IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. THE RAPID GROWTH TO THE NORTH OF YOU IN PORT ST LUCIE AND THE FLAG THAT YOU RELATIVELY FLAT AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE A PRIME AREA FOR DEVELOPMENT, AND I'VE SEEN COMMUNITIES LIKE INDIAN TOWN. DOUBLE TRIPLE AND POPULATION AND A 10 YEAR PERIOD. AND ONCE DEVELOPERS FIND YOU, IT COULD HAPPEN RELATIVELY QUICKLY. AND A LOT OF COMMUNITIES DIDN'T DO THE PLANNING FOR NETWORK. AND SO THEY FIND THEMSELVES WITH A LOT OF COLOR SACKS, NO CONNECTIVITY. NO REQUIREMENTS TO BUILD ROADS, DEVELOPMENT COMES IN AND THIS IS REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE VILLAGE TO GET AHEAD OF THAT. ULTIMATELY, YOU ALL STILL WILL CONTROL. WHAT TYPE OF LAND USE GOES ON IN YOUR COMMUNITY, BUT TO THE EXTENT YOU START TO EXPERIENCE EVEN MORE RAPID GROWTH THAN WHAT YOU'RE ALREADY EXPERIENCING. AT LEAST START TO HAVE A FRAMEWORK. THAT THEY'LL PLAN FOR MOVING PEOPLE.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAD TO IDENTIFY INTERSECTIONS ON COUNTY ROAD WAYS OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF RAILWAYS THAT WE LOOKED AT FOR THE COUNTY FACILITIES DID NOT NEED TO BE WIDENED OUR PATH A MARTIN HIGHWAY, UM, CITRUS BOULEVARD, BUT THERE WAS A NEED FOR INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AT MAJOR ROADWAYS. AND I THINK ULTIMATELY WHAT? WHAT YOU ALL DISCOVERED AS PART OF NEGOTIATIONS. BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE VILLAGE. IS THAT THE COUNTY IS COMMITTING THE SPEND A PORTION OF ITS ROADWAY IMPACT. THESE ON THOSE MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS. SO UM, YOU KNOW, FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS AT ALABAMA AND MARTIN HIGHWAY ALFALFA AND WARFIELD'S BOULEVARD AND WAR FIELD. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT THE COUNTY IS GOING TO COMMIT THROUGH THE INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT TO HELP FUND THOSE ALL THOSE INTERSECTION PROJECTS WE IDENTIFIED IN THE PLAN AS NEEDING IMPROVEMENTS. OVER THE NEXT 15 TO 20 YEARS. WE ALSO LOOKED AT. IN ORIGIN DESTINATION STUDY, AND THIS SORT OF HELPED FORM THE DATA AND ANALYSIS. ONE THING THAT WE FOUND IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING THIS USING THE CELLPHONE DATA AND GLOBAL POSITIONING DATA. IS ALMOST 50% OF THE TRIPS THAT ORIGINATE IN THE VILLAGE. STAY IN THE VILLAGE. YOU KNOW, SO WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO SCHOOL PLACE OF WORSHIP, VISITING FAMILY VISITING FRIENDS. A LARGE PORTION OF THAT TRAVEL STAYS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. BUT THEN ONCE IT GOES OUT, IT DOES TRAVEL FAIRLY FAR. UM SO THAT WAS REALLY ONE OF THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE SOME OF THE NUMBERS THAT WE CAME UP WITH IN THE REPORT. TO FORM THE BASIS FOR DISCUSSIONS WITH THE COUNTY.
[01:05:06]
ANOTHER MOBILITY FEE ITSELF IS BASED ON THE PROJECT IN THE MOBILITY PLAN. UM REALLY, THE MOBILITY PLANNING MOBILITY FEES SET THE STAGE FOR THE VILLAGE TO GO AFTER ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR YOUR STAFF TO GO TO THE TPL AS THEY UPDATE THE LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN TO SAY THIS IS OUR PLAN. THIS IS OUR VISION FOR THE COMMUNITY. WE'D LIKE TO START RECEIVING OR MAKING ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL FUNDS. YOU KNOW, SO THAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANCE TO COMPETE WITH US, STUART OR MARTIN COUNTY? BECAUSE NOW YOU HAVE A PLAN OR THE NEXT TIME THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION COMES IN AND SAYS WE HAVE SOME MONEY AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE AN IMPROVEMENT ON SUCH AND SUCH A ROADWAY. WELL HERE. WE WANT YOU TO REFERENCE OUR PLAN. AND THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION. TO ADVANCE SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS, BUT ALSO AS THEY'RE DOING THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR OVERALL PLAN. WHICH REALLY INCLUDES ADDING ADDITIONAL FACILITIES TO MAKE IT SAFER FOR PEOPLE TO WALK, BICYCLE AND ACCESS TRANSIT. SO WHAT ARE MOBILITY FEES THERE A REQUIREMENT OF NEW DEVELOPMENT TO PAY FOR ITS IMPACT. TO THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. THERE ARE ONE TIME ASSESSMENT. AND THEY'RE NOT ATTACKS ON EXISTING HOMES OR FEES, AND THEY ARE BASED ON THE MOBILITY PLAN PROJECTS. THE FEES WILL BE DUE AT THE TIME OF BUILDING WHILE WILL BE ASSESSED AT THE TIME OF BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION, AND THEY'LL BE PAID PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT, WHICH IS WHAT'S THE CURRENT PROCESS WITHIN MARTIN COUNTY? AND THEN THE ORDINANCE ITSELF PROVIDES A NUMBER OF PROVISIONS IF THEY HELP BUILD SOME INFRASTRUCTURE TO DEDICATE SOME RIGHT OF WAY, OR THEY'RE REDEVELOPING A CURRENTLY VACANT USE THAT WILL ACTUALLY GET CREDITS OR OFFSETS FOR THOSE USES. MOBILITY PLANS AND MOBILITY FEES. OR SOMETHING THAT A NUMBER OF COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT FLORIDA ARE STARTING TO CONSIDER, UM AND AS MORE AND MORE TRAFFIC AND DEVELOPMENT OCCURS AND AS A LEGISLATURE FURTHER LIMITS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ABILITY TO REGULATE DEVELOPMENT.MORE AND MORE COMMUNITIES ARE LOOKING AT THIS AS A VIABLE TOOL. FOR THEM. THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH IN TERMS OF THE TECHNICAL REPORT.
THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE CALCULATIONS THAT GO INTO IT. AND IF YOU'VE SEEN IS AVAILABLE, I BELIEVE FROM THE VILLAGE OVER 200 PAGE DOCUMENT, BUT IT GOES INTO A LOT OF DETAIL FOR HOW THE FEE IS CALCULATED. UM. THERE IS A TWO ASSESSMENT AREAS WITHIN THE VILLAGE. ONE IS APPLIES VILLAGE WIDE. THE SECOND IS REALLY IF YOU AS A COUNCIL WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ALLOWING A REDUCTION FOR A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT THAT HAS A MIXTURE OF RESIDENTIAL RETAIL AND OFFICE TYPE USES IN A UNIFIED PROJECT. WE HAVE PRE CALCULATED A FEE. THAT'S 25% LOWER. BUT IN ORDER FOR SOMEBODY TO QUALIFY FOR THAT THE VILLAGE WOULD HAVE TO ELECT TO ACTUALLY ESTABLISHED CRITERIA FOR MIXED USE SO NOBODY CAN CLAIM IT OUT. RIGHT? THEY CAN'T JUST SAY WELL, I HAVE AN OFFICE NEXT TO A RETAIL, THEREFORE MIXED USE. IF YOU ALL WANT TO MOVE DOWN THAT PATH AND SOME COMMUNITIES DO YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF POLICIES IN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SETTING THAT YOU WOULD ENCOURAGE THAT TYPE OF USE? UM YOU ULTIMATELY STILL HAVE CONTROL OF THAT? BUT IT'S ALREADY CALCULATED AHEAD OF TIME. IF YOU WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT, AND IT IS A REDUCED FEE BECAUSE IT RECOGNIZES THE INTERNAL INTERACTION OF TRIPS. BUT AGAIN, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S AUTOMATIC. IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO FURTHER DEVELOP. DEFINE AND ACTUALLY ESTABLISH A PROGRAM TO SAY YOU ARE OR ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR MIXED USE. SO THESE ARE THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT AREA. IT'S A UNIFORM RATE THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE. AND THEN WE LOOK AT THE AREAS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY ANNEX INTO THE VILLAGE OVER THE NEXT 20 PLUS YEARS. IF THEY WERE TO ANNEX INTO THE VILLAGE. THEY WOULD THEN ALSO BE ASSESSED THE MOBILITY FEE RATE. WE ALSO LOOKED AT BENEFIT DISTRICTS AND THIS REALLY DEFINES WHERE THE MONEY IS COLLECTED AND WORDS PRINCIPALLY SPENT AT SO THERE'S A DISTRICT TO THE NORTH OF WAR FIELD DISTRICT TO THE SOUTH OF WAR FIELD. AND THEN THERE'S A LARGER OVERALL DISTRICT. AND SO THESE? ARE YOU SURE THAT THE MONEY THAT ARE COMING INTO THAT AREA PRINCIPALLY GO WITHIN THOSE AREAS. BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CAVEATS THAT IF THERE ARE SIDEWALKS ACROSS WAR FIELD IF THERE ARE TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS THAT BENEFIT BOTH DISTRICTS THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO USE THOSE FUNDS THE BEST WAY YOU SEEM FIT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS REALLY FOLLOWING THE LEGAL PROCESS THAT IF SOMEBODY PAYS A FEE, THEY HAVE TO RECEIVE A BENEFIT FROM THAT PAYMENT. IN A SORT OF THE WAY TO BE TRANSPARENT ABOUT THAT. THE LARGE AREA THAT YOU SEE IN
[01:10:05]
BROWN. BECAUSE OF PORTION OF THE FEE IS GOING TO REMAIN WITH THE COUNTY BASED ON THE PROJECTS.THIS ALLOWS THOSE FUNDS IN THE COUNTY'S FUNDS AS PART OF THE NEGOTIATION TO BE SPENT OUTSIDE THE VILLAGE LIMITS ON SOME OF THOSE MAJOR INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS. BUT THEY ARE THE COUNTY IS REQUIRED. EARLY IN OUR LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE AND THE COUNTY TO SPEND IT ON A SPECIFIC LIST OF PROJECTS. AND THIS IS THE OVERALL FEE ITSELF. UM. YOU'LL SEE THREE VALUES. ONE IS THE ACTUAL CALCULATED MOBILITY FEE. THAT'S THE WHOLE TECHNICAL DOCUMENT THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH. THE OTHER IS THE CLOSEST EQUIVALENT MARTIN COUNTY CATEGORY. AND THEN THE THIRD IS THE ADJUSTED FEE BASED ON THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN MARTIN COUNTY AND INDIAN TOWN. AND SO THE DIRECTION PROVIDED WAS. THE FEE WAS NOT TO EXCEED THE EXISTING MARTIN COUNTY, RIGHT. AND THEN WITHIN INDIAN TOWN. 70% OF THAT MONEY WOULD STAY TO YOU ALL IN THE VILLAGE, AND THAT YOU AS ACCOUNTS WOULD PROGRAM EACH YEAR. AND THEN 30% WOULD BE REMITTED TO MARTIN COUNTY. SO WE STILL HAVE TO LEGALLY SHOW WHAT THE CALCULATED VALUE IS. BUT THEN THE ACTUAL ORDINANCE ITSELF. REFLECTS THAT FINAL COLUMN NUMBER. AND THAT'S THE NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE. AND THE COUNTY AND IT'S 70% OF THE COUNTY'S CALCULATED RATE. WE DID HAVE SOME COMMENTS AT PCB. THERE ARE. A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT LAND USES ON THE COUNTY SCHEDULE. WE SORT OF WENT FORWARD WITH THE IDEA OF STREAMLINING IT AND MAKING IT SIMPLER FOR YOU ALL TO IMPLEMENT. BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF CATEGORIES THAT MAY BE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN THE COUNTY'S FEE. WE HEARD SOME FEEDBACK, AND SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO MAKE SOME CHANGES THAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE NEXT ROUND? UM AS IT RELATES TO A WET BERTH IN THE MARINA, WHERE THE BOATS ARE ACTUALLY STORED IN THE WATER VERSUS A DRY SLIP. THE ONES THAT ARE STORED IN THE WATER TEND TO BE USED A LITTLE BIT MORE. THE ONES THAT ARE STORED IN A DRY SLIP ARE USED LESS FREQUENTLY, SO WE HAD A REQUEST TO RECOGNIZE TWO DIFFERENT RATES. SO WHEN WE COME BACK TO YOUR LITTLE ACTUALLY BE TWO SEPARATE RATES FOR THAT. AND THERE WAS ALSO A REQUEST TO LOOK AT OUTSIDE STORAGE FOR SE, RV PARKING OR BOAT STORAGE AND THEN POP, POSSIBLY NURSERY TYPE USES. THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME IMPACT AS SORT OF, SAY, A VERTICAL BUILDING, SO THEY ASKED FOR THAT TO BE DEVELOPED PER ACRE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT BACK TO YOU AS WELL. AND THEN WE ADDED A PROVISION IN THE ORDINANCE ITSELF. THAT STATED THAT BASICALLY THE DIRECTION YOU ALL PROVIDED US. THAT ANYBODY THAT COMES IN AND LOOKS FOR A SPECIFIC LAND USE. THE FEE THAT WILL BE ASSESSED AS NO HIGHER THAN MARTIN COUNTIES. IT WILL BE ASSESSED AT 70% OF THE RATE WILL GO TO INDIAN TOWN. 30% WILL GO TO THE COUNTY. SO IF THERE IS A LAND USE OUT THERE YOUR STAFF YOUR YOUR THE VILLAGE ATTORNEY HAS THE ABILITY TO SAY THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO DETERMINE THIS FEE. AND THAT WAS ALL BASED ON FEEDBACK AND INPUT THAT WE HAD FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARDS. WE'VE MADE THOSE CHANGES AND THOSE WILL BE REFLECTED IN THE ORDINANCE COMING BACK TO YOU. THESE ARE JUST THE VARIOUS LAND USES. UM, THAT ARE IN THERE. TONIGHT IS THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE. UM IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL DIRECTION FOR MYSELF OR FOR THE VILLAGE ATTORNEY FOR US TO MAKE SOME CHANGES. WE WILL DO THAT THIS EVENING BECAUSE WE HAVE A TIGHT TURN AROUND TO GET IT BACK ON THE SCHEDULE. I BELIEVE THE SECOND READING IS SCHEDULED FOR NEXT WEEK. UM AND THEN IF YOU ALL ELECT TO AS A COUNCIL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ADOPTING THAT THE FEES WOULD GO INTO EFFECT ON FEBRUARY 1ST 2024 AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE INTER LOCALS ALREADY BEEN WORKED OUT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE IN THE COUNTY SO THIS WOULD REALLY BE IN PLACE.
UM, AND FOR ANY MEMBERS OF PUBLIC WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS PROCESS ALL OF MARTIN COUNTIES IN BACK FEES. THE VILLAGE. ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT KNOWS IN THE VILLAGE. PAY THOSE TWO MARTIN COUNTY AND THEN MARTIN COUNTY COULD SPEND THOSE FEES ANYWHERE WEST OF 95. FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY ALL THE WAY UP TO ST LUCIE COUNTY OR WEAR OUT OKEECHOBEE. THEY HAD NO REQUIREMENT TO SPEND THAT MONEY IN THE VILLAGE. FROM YOU KNOW, BASED ON YOUR DIRECTION THAT YOU PROVIDED THOSE FACING THE DIRECTION FROM THE VILLAGE MANAGER. THE INTER LOCAL. 70% OF THAT MONEY WILL NOW COME TO YOU AS A COUNCIL TO PRIORITIZE. 30% OF IT. WE'LL STILL GO TO THE COUNTY FOR THE COUNTY NOW HAS TO SPEND ON PROJECTS THAT YOU ALL AGREED TO IN THE INTER LOCAL. SO
[01:15:05]
AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE VILLAGE OF ANY IN TOWN WENT FROM GETTING $0. THREE YEARS AGO TO ESSENTIALLY GETTING 100% OF THE MONEY STAYING TO THE BENEFIT OF YOUR COMMUNITY. SO IT REALLY IS A BIG WIN AND THE FACT THAT YOU ALL YOU KNOW, WORKED OUT SOMETHING WITH THE COUNTY AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO MEDIATION. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO INTO A LONG LEGAL PROCESS. YOU KNOW, AS A TESTAMENT TO EUROVISION AND TO THAT OF THE COUNTY TO MOVE FORWARD FOR THE BETTERMENT OF YOUR COMMUNITY. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY IN THE IN TOWN IS FAR BETTER OFF NOW. THEN IT WAS THREE YEARS AGO BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE FUNDS AND REVENUES. TO MEET THE NEEDS OF YOUR RESIDENTS. WITH THAT INCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER STONE. YEAH, I GUESS IT'S MORE OF A COMMENT.FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING LONG AND HARD PROCESS. WHEN WE FIRST STARTED, PEOPLE THOUGHT WE WERE CRAZY. AND HERE WE ARE. WITH A GREAT RESULT. SO WE APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HARVARD THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND YOUR STAFF HAS BEEN GREAT ALONG THE WAY AS WELL AS YOUR BROTHER, WOULD YOU, COUNSEL COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. YES THANK YOU. AND I ECHO WHERE? UH COMPLIMENTS, STONE SAID. THANK YOU TO THE STAFF TO THE STAFF'S COUNT, UM, TO STAFF AT THE COUNTY LEVEL STUFF HERE AT THE VILLAGE, UM TO COMMISSIONER JENKINS, BECAUSE I DID MENTION IT TO HARMONY WASN'T AWARE OF THIS AND I'M LIKE, LOOK. ERIC COUNCIL MEETING. UM BUT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I'M LOOKING AT THE LAND USE CATEGORIES. UM. CAR WASHES. DON'T I KNOW? I DON'T SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THERE . WOULD THAT BE MOTOR VEHICLE IN BOAT CLEANING? OKAY. AND WHAT ABOUT LIKE NONPROFITS? LIKE CHURCHES. I MEAN, IF THEY'RE HOLDING AN EVENT THIS WOULD APPLY ONLY FOR THOSE USES THAT APPLY FOR A BUILDING PERMIT. SO IF YOU'RE JUST HOLDING IF YOU'RE HAVING A CHURCH FUNCTION OR FUNCTION FOR YOUR, UM YOUR SCHOOL OR FOR SPORTS PROGRAM THEY DON'T REQUIRE A BUILDING PERMIT FOR THAT USE SO THEY WOULD NOT THEREFORE PAY MOBILITY FEE. IT'S ONLY FOR USES THAT REQUIRING A BUILDING PERMIT OR A SPECIAL PERMIT GRANTING THEM SOME ABILITY, UM, TO DO THIS FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES, COMMERCIAL, MEANING THEY ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY. I HOPE FOR PROFIT, AND THEN I HAD TWO OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE SLIDE NUMBER. 13. HAVE YOU ZOOM, TOO? THE MAP. ONE. THERE'S A YELLOW CROSS. WHERE'S THAT YELLOW CROSS SPECIFICALLY AT THAT'S NOT THE WAR FUELED AND GOING TO CANADA. CORRECT NO, THAT'S A DIFFERENT NEXT WAR FIELD IN CITRUS. OKAY BECAUSE ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS IS WE DO SEE A HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC AND THAT ONE BETWEEN WAR FIELD AND GOING TO CANADA HIGHWAY AND THERE'S CONSTANTLY ACCIDENTS.
THEY'RE PROBABLY HAVING THAT IN THE RADAR FOR THE COUNTY BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S IS THAT COUNTY.
CITRUS COUNTY, BUT WARNER OR CANNER AND WAR FIELD ARE BOTH STATE ROADS. OKAY SOMETHING YOU COULD TAKE AT ANY TIME TO THE STATE. UM BECAUSE THERE'S CONSTANTLY ACCIDENTS THERE, SO PROBABLY KNOWING THAT WE'RE DOING THIS MOBILITY FEE AND THE FUTURE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDING MORE HOUSEHOLDS. IN THE VILLAGE BUSINESSES IN THE VILLAGE OPINION TOWN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE OUTFLOW. UM, TOO, BECAUSE CURRENTLY WHAT WE HAVE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVE HERE, BUT THEY GO OUT AND TRAVEL. TWO OTHER AREAS TO GO WORK. SO YOU KNOW THAT FLOW WILL INCREASE AND STILL TRYING TO PUT THAT IN THAT RADAR NOW WHEN WE'RE PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE, UM AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS IN. THANK YOU FLIP THE SLIDE. SLIDE NUMBER 19 WHAT ARE THE CROSSES? THE BLUE DIDN'T SPECIFY OH, I DID. SO THOSE ARE ADOPTED THE BLUE? YES, MA'AM. AND THE RED PROGRESS. OKAY? SO I KNOW MOBILITY FEES HAVE BEEN HOT TOPIC. LEGISLATIVELY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN ON COUNSELOR BECAUSE I HEAR EVERY YEAR. DO YOU KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE GONNA LIKE? LTD. I THINK AT THIS POINT
[01:20:07]
IT'S BEEN NOW 10 YEARS SINCE THEY'VE AUTHORIZED MOBILITY FEES. AND MORE. SO WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THEY'RE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL DIRECTION ON, UM. IMPACT FEES AND MOBILITY VIEWS IN TERMS OF INCREASES. SO ONE THING YOU ALL DIDN'T GO THROUGH HERE BECAUSE YOU MADE A DECISION TO CAP IT AT THE EXISTING RATE. HAD YOU WENT WITH THE SURE SHOW AN EXAMPLE HERE WITH THE HIGHER AMOUNT I THINK GONE WITH THE HIGHER AMOUNT LIKE 7000, RIGHT? YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE GONE YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TWO OPTIONS. ONE YOU WOULD HAVE HAD THE PHASE IN THAT INCREASE. OVER A TWO OR FOUR YEAR PERIOD, DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH IT WAS BY THE EXISTING RATE. OR YOU WOULD HAVE HAD THE GONE THROUGH A FINDING OF WHAT SOMEONE IS EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES. SHOWING THAT YOU HAVE EXTRAORDINARY GROWTH IN YOUR COMMUNITY. YOU HAVE EXTRAORDINARY NEED WITHIN YOUR COMMUNITY TO JUSTIFY A HIGHER RATE. SOME MORE. SO WHAT I SEE FROM THE LEGISLATURE IS PROVIDING ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS. FOR THE FEES THEMSELVES. I DON'T SEE THEM AS OF RIGHT NOW GOING AWAY. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE, BUT I MEAN, IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS NOW, AND IF ANYTHING, THEY'RE GETTING MORE TO FIND ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT STILL TROUBLES. A NUMBER OF COMMUNITIES IS MUNICIPALITIES VERSUS COUNTIES. AND WHAT PROCESS AND WHO SHOULD GET WHAT SHARE OF IT. THIS IS ACTUALLY A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW IT COULD WORK. FOR A NUMBER OF COMMUNITIES. UM AND YOU KNOW, I THINK MORE AND MORE. THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE BIGGER ISSUES IF ANYTHING LEGISLATURE WILL ADDRESS IN THE FUTURE. IS GUIDANCE BETWEEN HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH MUNICIPAL VERSUS COUNTY FEES? AND THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF ONE WAY. TO ADDRESS IT. OKAY AND THEN ANOTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS UM, FOR YOUR SLIDE NUMBER 28. JUST SO WE HAVE 70% MOBILITY FEE FOR INDIAN TOWN THAN 30% WROTE IMPACT. UM TO THE COUNTY, SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT MONEY WILL COME TO THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN DIRECTLY WILL GO TO A COUNTY AND THEN THEY'LL SEND IT TO US. HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK? FROM DISCUSSIONS WITH THE VILLAGES COUNCIL. THAT MONEY WOULD BE PAID TO INDIAN TOWN AS PART OF YOUR PERMITS. AND THEN ON A MONTHLY BASIS, YOU WOULD REMIT FUNDS, THE 30% OF THE FUNDS. TO THE COUNTY. SO THAT MONEY WOULD COME TO YOU FIRST AS A COMMUNITY. THEN IT WOULD BE REMITTED TO THE COUNTY, WHEREAS RIGHT NOW IT'S ALL GOING. DIRECTLY TO THE COUNTY AND JUST FOR CLARIFICATION FOR THE PUBLIC. UM THESE MOBILITY FEES ARE. JUST FOR MOBILITY. CORRECT.WE CAN'T SPEND IT ON ANYTHING ELSE. I MEAN, THEY ARE FOR SIDEWALKS, BICYCLE LANES.
TRANSIT STOPS, UM STREET LIGHTING, LANDSCAPING TRAFFIC SIGNALS. ANYTHING RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION? OKAY OUTSIDE OF, SAY, RESURFACING THE ROADWAY. BUT I'M SOME COMMUNITIES HAVE SAID. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A 12 FT WIDE ROAD TODAY. IT NEEDS TO BE 20 FT WIDE OR WE WANT TO ADD BICYCLE LANES TO IT, SO THEY ALL MIX GAS TAX MONEY AND OTHER FUNDS WITH MOBILITY FEES. TO ADD BY SCALLIONS OR TO WIDEN THAT ROADWAY AND TO RESURFACE AT THE SAME TIME. SO THERE'S A BROAD LATITUDE, BUT IT IS PRIMARILY TRANSPORTATION IN NATURE. IT CAN'T BE USED FOR PARKS. IT CAN'T BE USED FOR SCHOOLS. UM CAN BE USED FOR FIRE RESCUE OR POLICE DEPARTMENT. UM BUT IT CAN BE USED FOR ANYTHING RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION. SO YOU SAID WE FOR RESURFACING. THAT PROBLEM.
DEPENDING ON HOW YOU'RE DOING THE RESURFACING AND WHETHER YOU'RE UPGRADING THE ROADWAY FROM A SUB CENTER ROAD TO ONE THAT NOW PROVIDES CAPACITY FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT. AND THAT'S WHAT THE STANDARD IF IT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL CAPACITY. FOR EITHER A VEHICLE, A PERSON WALKING, BICYCLING, ACCESSING TRANSIT. THAT'S ROY THE THRESHOLD, SO IF IT WAS JUST A PURE RESURFACING NO, IT COULDN'T BE USED IT. IT WAS UPGRADING A SUB STANDARD ROADWAY. TO ONE THAT CAN NOW ACCOMMODATE MULTIPLE MODES. A GOOD PORTION OF THAT COULD BE USED. MOBILITY FEW WIVES TOWARDS THAT ROADWAY. OKAY WELL, THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK AND THE WORK OF THE STAFF AND THE COUNTY AND PLEASE CALLING THANK COMMISSIONER JENKINS. AND THANK YOU TO THE COMMISSIONERS, UH, FROM THE COUNTY FOR DOING THIS FOR ANY IN TOWN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALSO, UM. YOU MADE THE COMMENT THAT CAN, ER IT'S A STATE ROAD. STATE ROAD 76 CAMERA HIGHWAY. SOME REASON I ALWAYS
[01:25:08]
THOUGHT IT WAS A COUNTY ROAD, BOTH THERE MAY BE PORTIONS OF IT. BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF COMING FROM BRIDGE ALL THE WAY TO WARFARE ALL DAY. I BELIEVE THIS STATE ROAD 76 HIGHWAY. IT'S BOTH MARTIN HIGHWAY 714. THAT'S ACCOUNTING. MARK MARTIN HIGHWAYS COUNTY FOR CERTAIN CAN OR A PORTION OF CANADA FROM BRIDGE. GOING NORTH, MAYBE COUNTY, BUT FROM RIDGE GOING ALL THE WAY TO WAR FIELD. THAT IS A STATE ROAD AND I KNOW UM ALLAH, PATA. SIX OR NINE. THAT'S DEFINITELY THAT'S COUNTING FACILITY. YES, IT IS. SO, UM HOW OFTEN THESE ROUTES THAT YOU KNOW. ARE NOT, YOU KNOW, DOING MORE THAN THAN WHAT THE COUNTY WHEN ARE THESE RATES REVIEWABLE? FOR ADJUSTMENT. SO THE WAY THAT WE'VE STRUCTURED IT IS THEY WILL BE INDEXED TO INFLATION, AND THAT WOULD OCCUR. EACH YEAR. STARTING IN 2025, SO 2024 WILL BE THE FIRST TIME THEY GO INTO AN EFFECT. SO ROUGHLY FEBRUARY OF 2025. THERE WOULD BE ADJUSTED 3% 4% 5% FOR INFLATION. IN TERMS OF A WHOLESALE UPDATE. IF THE COUNTY UPDATED THEIR FEES. AND THEY WANT TO DO INTRODUCE OR UPDATE THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE AND THE COUNTY. THAT WOULD BE A CHANCE FOR YOU TO RE LOOK AT THEM. BUT IN GENERAL IT'S EVERY FOUR YEARS THEY SHOULDN'T BE CHANGED. AND BETWEEN THE YEAR FOUR AND FIVE. YOU SHOULD BE BOTH UPDATING YOUR PLAN AND UPDATING YOUR FEES AS WELL. UM THE NEXT EFFORT WON'T BE AS INVOLVED BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE DONE A LOT OF THE HEAVY LIFTING TODAY. BUT YOU KNOW, THE, UM ADDITIONAL INTERSECTIONS THAT YOU KIND OF IDENTIFIED. THOSE ARE GOING TO COME UP OVER TIME FRAMES YOUR NEEDS ARE GOING TO CHANGE ALL THE TIME. FRAMES OF COSTS ARE GOING TO CHANGE. SO IN FOUR YEARS, YOU WOULD BE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS AGAIN. TO UPDATE YOUR PLAN AND YOUR FEE. AND YOUR INNER LOCAL AGREEMENT.IS IN FIVE YEAR PERIODS, SO IT WOULD BE RENEGOTIATING WITH THE COUNTY FIVE YEARS. FROM ESSENTIALLY THE DATE THAT IT WAS ADOPTED. YEAH, THAT INDEXING FOR INFLATION. WHERE DOES THAT FIGURE COME FROM? THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOUR STAFF WOULD LOOK AT ANNUALLY. BUT GENERALLY, IT'S REPORTS THAT ARE PRODUCED BY THE CARTMAN OF TRANSPORTATION. UM TO THE EXTENT YOU HAVE LOCAL DATA. TO SUPPORT IT. YOU COULD USE THAT AS THE BASIS BUT GENERALLY MOST MOST COMMUNITIES IN FLORIDA USED. THE ANNUAL INFLATION IS PRODUCED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND I AM JUST ECHO. THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS COMMENTS ABOUT, UM THE GRATITUDE THAT WE HAVE FOR STAFF AND THE COUNTY. COMING TOGETHER ON THIS AND A IN MY OPINION, AMAZINGLY QUICK. UM TIMEFRAME IN ORDER TO GET THIS DONE, SO IT'S MUCH APPRECIATED.
I KNOW THAT PEOPLE OF INDIAN TOWN IS SOMETHING THAT THAT IS A IS A POSITIVE. IT'S A WIN WIN.
SO IS THERE ANY OTHER? RIGHT FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS, APOLLO OKAY? THANK YOU. WE NEED A MOTION. THE MOVE. WE HAVE A MOTION SECOND AND HAS MOVED AND SECONDED. NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.
ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. BRINGS US TO OUR DISCUSSION ITEMS AND THE DISCUSSION ITEMS. NO, MA'AM. I THINK TO DISCUSS, UM WHEN IS THE NEXT? FOOD. THERE'S IS NEXT.
IT'S NEXT THURSDAY. YES MA'AM. EIGHT O'CLOCK AT EIGHT O'CLOCK. SO THAT'S THAT'S ON THE THERE DOING A HOLIDAY ONE BOX PER FAMILY PER CAR AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AND YOU WOULD PULL UP AND KNOWS THAT HERE AT VILLAGE HALLS AND OVER ON AND BOOKER PARK OVER IT, OKAY OFF OF MARTIN LUTHER, OKAY? OKAY THAT ONE THING NEXT THURSDAY. I'M PROBABLY NOT GONNA BE HERE. A HAD SOMETHING SCHEDULED PRIOR TO THIS. THE MEETING. SOME I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE IT. LIKE PROBABLY. OKAY YOU BE ABLE TO JOINED BY ZOOM, NOT SURE, OKAY. OKAY? OKAY. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW.
