Presentation by Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council on Strategic Planning
]COUNCIL ON STRATEGIC PLANNING. YES WE HAVE DOCTOR DELANEY HERE. UM I HAD ASKED HER TO COME AND[00:05:02]
GET AN IDEA FROM THE COUNCIL. WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS THEY MOVE FORWARD. YOU ALSO HAVE MR LANAHAN HERE FROM THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL SO THEY CAN GIVE US A PROPOSAL THAT WILL MEET THE VILLAGE COUNCIL'S NEEDS AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING. GOOD EVENING. WELCOME FOR THE RECORD. KIM DELANEY FROM TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL. SO FIRST, THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME OUT AND CHAT WITH THE BOARD. UM FAMILIAR FACES AND NEW FACES. UM UH, THE, UH UH, THE MANAGER HAD, UM, BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH US AS A RESOURCE AGENCY TO THE VILLAGE TO TALK ABOUT STRATEGIC PLANNING. UM AND WE REALIZED IN THOSE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE WEREN'T ENTIRELY SURE WHAT TYPE OF STRATEGIC PLANNING MIGHT BE THE RIGHT TYPE OF PLANNING FOR THE VILLAGE. UM, SO TARIN ASKED US TO COME OUT AND HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH YOU. UM THE COUNCIL IS HAPPY TO ASSIST IN ANY NEEDS. THE VILLAGE HAS UM IT'S UM, A STRATEGIC PLANNING IS USUALLY A PRECURSOR TO COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING. THE VILLAGES COMP PLAN, OF COURSE, WAS ADOPTED, I THINK IN 2019, WHICH IS THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE VILLAGE. STRATEGIC PLANNING IS UM, SOMEWHAT MORE OF AN ABSTRACT DISCUSSION AND COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING TO KIND OF, UM, TAKE SOME BOUNDARIES OFF THE CONVERSATION. TO REALLY LOOK AT ALL OF THE GROWTH IMPACTS WITHIN THE VILLAGE OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAGE. LARGE SCALE TRENDS, BOTH ECONOMIC, RESIDENTIAL AND OTHERS. UM TO, UH, TO GIVE YOU KIND OF LIKE A GENERAL DIRECTION, IF YOU WILL, UM, AS A COMMUNITY TO SPECIFY THAT DIRECTION AND THEN A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS MORE SPECIFIC, OF COURSE. WITH GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES, YOU KNOW, MEASURABLE, UM, ACTIONS BY THE VILLAGE. UM, AS YOU IMPLEMENT, UM THE, UH, THE MUNICIPALITIES THAT YOU HAVE. UM AND SO, SO WE JUST WANTED TO BE AVAILABLE TO YOU TO ASSIST IN A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT STRATEGIC PLANNING IF NEEDED, IF DESIRED. WHAT THAT MIGHT BE LIKE, UM, WE ASSIST LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. UM UH UH, GROUPS OF ELECTED OFFICIALS APPOINTED OFFICIALS AGENCIES WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING AS NEEDED. UM, SO AGAIN, WE'RE HAPPY TO ASSIST THE VILLAGE IF YOU'D LIKE. UM THERE'S A VARIETY OF IDEAS THAT WE TRADED BACK AND FORTH WITH THE MANAGER. WHAT WE FIND AS AN AGENCY IS THE MORE INPUT THAT YOU CAN HAVE INTO THAT TYPE OF DECISION MAKING.UM, THE MORE THOROUGH YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS CAN BE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. UM, AND THE MORE SUSTAINABLE. THOSE CONDITIONS YOU GENERALLY ARE AS A RULE. UM AND SO, UH, THE TECHNIQUE THAT WE LIKE TO USE INCLUDES SOME VERY SPECIFIC ENGAGEMENT. WITH INDIVIDUAL ELECTED OFFICIALS WITH YOUR STAFF. UM, WITH ADJACENT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND AGENCIES THAT ARE YOUR PARTNERS TO UNDERSTAND, UM THE OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS THAT EXIST IN THOSE RELATIONSHIPS, WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER, BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND BE MORE SUCCESSFUL AS A PLACE. AS UH, AS I THINK THE VILLAGE KNOWS, UM WE, UH WE ENGAGE IN A LOT OF PUBLIC OUTREACH ACTIVITIES AS A RULE AGAIN. WE THINK THAT TENDS TO FIND, UM ELECTED BOARDS WITH MORE CONFIDENCE IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS BECAUSE THEY FEEL AS THOUGH THEY HAVE, UM, REALLY BROAD INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY. UM SO WE CAN WE CAN TAILOR ANY TYPE OF PROCESS. THAT'S THE RIGHT FIT. UH, FOR THE COMMUNITY , UM, AND WE'RE JUST HERE TO KINDA HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH YOU AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, UM, TO SEE IF THERE'S A YOU KNOW, A DIRECTION THAT YOU'D LIKE TO, UH, LIKE TO PURSUE OR JUST WANT TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH US AS YOU CONTINUE FORWARD IN YOUR WORK AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT. THANK YOU. I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME WE HAD ONE? IT WAS AFTER THE LAST ELECTION BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE HAD A WE HAD TWO NEW MEMBERS, AND IT WAS A NEW NEW PROCESS. RIGHT? OKAY SO IT'S BEEN A GOOD YEAR YEAR AND A HALF. I THINK WE OUGHT TO HAVE ANOTHER WORKSHOP. I THINK IT'S FINE. SO HOW OFTEN IS THAT KIND OF A YEARLY THING? OR JUST AS NEEDED. IT VARIES FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
MANY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE NOW ENGAGING IN STRATEGIC PLANNING ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, UM MORE IN A TIME OF SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. THERE'S LOTS OF LEGISLATIVE CHANGES THAT ARE HAPPENING. INVESTMENT PATTERNS ARE CHANGING . UM AND SO WHAT WE FIND INCREASINGLY IS THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE REGION TEND TO HAVE THOSE STRATEGIC PLANNING DISCUSSIONS. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, AT LEAST AT A LIGHT SCALE AND THEN MAYBE MORE IN DEPTH AS COMPREHENSIVE PLANS ARE UPDATED OVER TIME. BUT UM, BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF EXAMPLES. WE CAN CERTAINLY SEND TERENCE'S WAY, AND TARN'S MORE FAMILIAR WITH MORE OF THEM THAN I AM, BUT, UM, BUT THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE SEE, UM IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TEND TO USE THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF ZOOM OUT IF YOU WILL, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSURE ON ELECTED OFFICIALS WITH THE EVERY MEETING HAS, UM, HAS SUCH A, UM, OFTEN A MYOPIC VIEW AT THE INTRICATE DETAILS OF THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT, AND SO WHAT WE WHAT WE SEE IS IT TENDS TO GIVE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS A CHANCE. JUST TO ZOOM OUT. TAKE A BREATH, TALK TO EACH OTHER ABOUT THE THINGS THAT
[00:10:05]
EACH OF YOU SEE AS ELECTED OFFICIALS WHAT YOU HEAR FROM INVESTORS FROM RESIDENTS, UM, FROM POTENTIAL BUSINESS INTERESTS THAT ARE COMING IN. YOU KNOW, EXPLORE THOSE AGENCY RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH THE COUNTY WITH THE, UH, THE AGENCIES LIKE THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DEP , THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. UM, AND, UH AND AGAIN HAVE A CHANCE TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION IN THE SUNSHINE. UM, ABOUT, UM ABOUT A LESS PRESSURED OPPORTUNITY TO THINK ABOUT THOSE LARGE SCALE TRENDS AND HOW YOU WANT TO POSITION YOURSELF. WE? WE LIKE TO ENCOURAGE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO THINK. ON AT LEAST A 10 YEAR TIME FRAME, BUT REALLY A 20 YEAR TIME FRAME BECAUSE IN 10 YEARS, YOU ALREADY SHOULD BE MAKING THOSE INVESTMENT DECISIONS TO MAKE THOSE THINGS HAPPEN, SO YOU'RE REALLY KIND OF LATE IN THE GAME.UM SO REALLY THINKING LONGER TERM UM, ABOUT HOW YOUR POSITION IN THE COUNTY. HOW YOU'RE POSITIONED IN THE REGION AND THE STATE. UM AND WHAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH. WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE? 20 YEARS OUT WHEN YOU DEFINE SUCCESS FOR INDIAN TOWN? WHAT IS SUCCESS LOOK LIKE TO YOU? AND THEN TRY TO ARTICULATE SOME SPECIFIC STRATEGIES TO HELP YOU GET POSITIONED FOR THAT. YEAH I KNOW THAT THAT WE'VE WE'VE DONE THAT IN THE PAST. MAYBE WE NEED TO DRAG UP OUR LAST ONE. SO WE CAN REVIEW IT AND MOVE FORWARD. A COUNCIL MEMBER, HERNANDEZ. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR, AND I'M A FIRM BELIEVER OF STRATEGIC PLANNING. AND ACTUALLY, THIS CAME UP IN A IN A CONVERSATION WITH, UH, COLLEAGUES FROM THE FLEUR DE GA. CITIES WE HAVE A CHAT FOR YOUNG ELECTED OFFICIALS AND UM, ONE INDIVIDUAL WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING? AND I'M A FIRM BELIEVER THAT AS THE VILLAGE IS CHANGING THROUGH LEADERSHIP THROUGH STAFF. UM THINGS COULD FALL THROUGH THE CRACK, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED AS A GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THIS IS THIS IS WE'RE JUST BARELY LIKE WHAT 67 YEARS IN, SO WE CAN, UM WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE IT THERE. AND SO STRATEGIC PLANNING IS SOMETHING THAT I DO THINK THAT WE DO NEED AS A COUNCIL. UM, AND THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MOST GOVERNMENTS DO. UM AND US AS A STILL THE NEWEST MUNICIPALITY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. WE DEFINITELY NEED THIS. UM SO I DO ADVOCATE FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING BECAUSE IT LI LITERALLY LEADS YOU INTO YOUR NEXT PHASE IS 2030 YEARS OUT, BECAUSE INDIAN IS GOING TO CHANGE NO MATTER HOW WE SEE IT AND YOU TELL WILL CHANGE. BUT WE NEED TO HAVE A AHEAD. WE NEED TO BE AHEAD OF THE GAME IN REGARDS OF THAT. SO I THINK STRATEGIC PLANNING IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD DO EVERY YEAR AND HAVE IT IN OUR, UM IN OUR CALENDAR EVERY YEAR FOR THE COUNCIL AND STAFF. UM, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN WE CAN DIALOGUE WITH ALL THE STAFF AND ALL THE COUNCIL UNDER SUNSHINE, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SUNSHINE LAW. THANK YOU. WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE COUNCIL IS IN AGREEMENT THAT WE NEED TO. I THINK WE OUGHT TO GET TOGETHER AND LET'S PICK A DAY AND LET'S HAVE A WORKSHOP. I MEAN, WE NEED IT. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR. AND YOU KNOW INDIAN TOWN IS GONNA EXPLODE. I MEAN, ONCE PAT GETS HIS HIS WATER PLANT DONE. I IT'S GONNA EXPLODE. I. I CAN PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEE US THAT THAT IT'S GONNA HAPPEN SO WE NEED TO BE READY FOR THAT. SO IT CAN'T HURT US. IT CAN ONLY HELP US I THANK YOU. SO SOUNDS LIKE STAFF HAS A DIRECTION ON THAT I'LL GET THE TREASURE COAST. PLANNING COUNCIL, AND WE'LL COME UP WITH SOME DATES AND GO FROM THERE. OK, WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. I'M GONE THE MONTH OF JULY BY THE WAY, OK, GOOD TO KNOW. THE WHOLE MONTH OF JULY. YOU TOO. OK DO WE
[PUBLIC COMMENT (3 MINUTES EACH)]
HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? YES, MADAM MAYOR. WE HAVE MISS TARA LOWRY. GOOD EVENING. WELCOME THANK YOU. THANK YOU. UH, I'M TARA LOWRY. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF TRUSS BRIDGE HOSPICE, WHICH IS A NONPROFIT HOSPICE ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES SERVICES IN PALM BEACH AND BROWARD COUNTIES. AND THE REASON I'M HERE TONIGHT IS BECAUSE AAA HAS DECIDED THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR ANOTHER HOSPICE TO COME INTO. UH, MARTIN COUNTY. UH SAINT LUCIE AND OKEECHOBEE. THEY'RE ALL CONSIDERED ONE AREA. SO WE ARE ONE OF FOUR HOSPICES THAT ARE APPLYING TO FILL THAT NEED, UM, WE'VE REACHED OUT. WE'VE BEEN KIND OF DOING SOME WORK IN THE COMMUNITY, ASKING PEOPLE TO FILL OUT SURVEYS TELLING US WHAT THE NEEDS ARE IN THE COMMUNITY. AND UM, WE'RE HERE TO ASK YOU FOR[00:15:04]
YOUR SUPPORT. WE WOULD LOVE TO GET A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR OUR HOSPICE TO COME INTO YOUR COMMUNITY. UM THE REASON THAT WE'RE OUT HERE IS BECAUSE WE ARE A NONPROFIT AND WE HAVE A HEART FOR SERVING RURAL COMMUNITIES. UH, WE'RE VERY, VERY ACTIVE IN BELLE GLADE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY . UM WE'RE THE ONLY HOSPICE THAT GOES OUT THERE AND SERVES THAT AREA BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE. UM THE REASON I'M PERSONALLY DRAWN TO THIS AREA IS I GOT A PHONE CALL ONE DAY FROM A LADY. HER NAME IS LIZ AND SHE LIVES OUT ON THE GOLF COURSE, AND SHE CALLED BECAUSE SHE WAS TAKING CARE OF ONE OF HER NEIGHBORS AND THEY WERE ON HOSPICE AND HE NEEDED A BATH AND SHE'S ELDERLY AND SHE'S THE CAREGIVER, AND SHE CALLED THE HOSPICE AND ASKED HIM TO GIVE A BATH AND THEY TOLD HER THAT THEY DON'T SEND AIDS OUT HERE. AND SO SHE CALLED MY HOSPICE AND I GOT ON THE PHONE WITH HER AND SHE WAS, SHE SAID. WHY DID THEY CHANGE THE RULES? AND I SAID THEY DIDN'T CHANGE THE RULES. AND I EVEN CALLED THAT HOSPICE IT MYSELF AND TALK TO THEIR LEADER AND SAID, IS THIS TRUE? DO YOU NOT SEND AIDS? AND SHE SAID, WE CAN'T AFFORD IT. UM THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PATIENTS IN INDIAN TOWN AND, UM, THAT BROKE MY HEART. I GREW UP IN SOUTHERN COLORADO IN RURAL COMMUNITIES. MY GRANDMOTHER DIED IN A RURAL COMMUNITY AND THAT'S ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT. SO, UM, WE REALLY DO CARE ABOUT COMMUNITIES AND WE WOULD LOVE TO GET A LETTER OF SUPPORT. BUT EVEN IF WE DON'T WE DO WANT TO BE YOUR PARTNER. IF WE GET THE LICENSE, WE WILL BE SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY AND WE'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN DOING STUFF OTHER THAN HOSPICE PALLIATIVE CARE, WHICH IS THE LAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS OF LIFE AS WELL AS MAYBE BRINGING OUT A MOBILE UNIT THAT COULD PROVIDE, UH, IMMUNIZATIONS COULD DO SOME, UH, PHYSICIAN VISITS FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE DOCTORS. UM SO WE REALLY DO WANT TO BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE AND, UH, WE'RE AVAILABLE. I'M GONNA LEAVE A BUNCH OF CARDS. IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, THEY CAN SPEAK TO US AS WELL. SO THANK YOU FOR LETTING US COME SPEAK WITH YOU. AND UH, MR VOS AND I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THEM. WE'D LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY JUST TO LET MR VOS COMPLETELY REVIEW THE LETTER THAT THEY'VE PROVIDED TO US, AND ONCE HE FEELS THAT IT'S READY FOR THE MAYOR TO SIGN. IF THE COUNCIL'S UP TO WE'LL LET THE MAYOR SIGN IT AND GET THAT LETTER OF SUPPORT TO THEM. OK? COUNSEL IN AGREEMENT. I'M IN AGREEMENT. ABSOLUTELY. OKAY? IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A PATH FORWARD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NICE TO MEET YOU ALL. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO. NEXT. WE HAVE, MISTER. COMMISSIONER HAROLD JENKINS. I DON'T KNOW. YOU DIDN'T GET PERMISSION AHEAD OF TIME, YOU KNOW. UH, THANK YOU, SIR. THERE YOU GO. THIS IS FANCY. HM? SO THIS IS SOMETHING I ALLUDED TO, UM I DON'T KNOW ABOUT NINE MONTHS AGO, WHEN ROBERT AND ARI WAS OUT HERE TALKING ABOUT EXCUSE ME TALKING ABOUT, UH, AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR ATTAINABLE HOUSING. SO I JUST WANTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE MARTIN COUNTY COMMUNITY LAND TRUST ACTUALLY EXISTS. WE ARE NOW. AS OF LAST WEEK, AN OFFICIAL 501 C THREE. SO AND AS I SAID BEFORE THE FIRST STEPPING STONE THIS WAS REALLY KIND OF DRIVEN BY THE BANNER LAKE CLUB IN BANNER LAKE IN HOPE SOUND. UM THEY ACTUALLY OWNED SOME PROPERTIES THAT ARE GONNA BE TRANSFERRED INTO THE TRUST. THE COUNTY ACTUALLY OWNS, UH, ABOUT THREE ACRES THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BE UM TRANSFERRED INTO THE TRUST , AND THEN WE WILL ACTUALLY HAVE SOME ASSETS AND BE ABLE TO OFFER OUR SERVICES SO THE I WANT TO. I KNOW THAT THAT, UM CARMINE IS WORKING ON ON HIS, UM, AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THIS IS NOT ANY RENTAL THAT THIS IS ACTUAL FEE. SIMPLE OWNERSHIP. UM THROUGH THROUGH THE LAND TRUST AND ONCE WE GET GOING, I CAN GET A LITTLE BIT. I DON'T WANNA WASTE EVERYBODY'S TIME EXPLAINING WHAT A LAND TRUST IS BECAUSE IT IS RATHER COMPLICATED. BUT I DEFINITELY WANNA BE PART OF YOUR CONVERSATION OUT HERE. THIS HAS BEEN A PASSION OF MINE FOR A WHILE. A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW, UM, SINCE I REALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS CONCEPT UH AND THIS IS SOMETHING I INTEND TO BE FULL CHARGE ON AFTER. I NEED SOMETHING TO DO AFTER NOVEMBER, RIGHT? SO THIS IS SOMETHING I WANT TO DO. I'M ENVISIONING AT THIS POINT. THAT, UM THE SYSTEM WILL BE SET UP SIMILAR TO THE CR A, UH, SYSTEM. SO WE HAVE A BOARD THAT IS COUNTY WIDE. AND THEN EACH COMMUNITY HAS A BOARD. THAT MANAGES INDIAN TOWN AS A BOARD. HOPETOWN HAS A GOLDEN GATE HAS A BOARD AND, YOU KNOW, SO ON AND SO FORTH. AND THEN THEN WE HAVE THE MAIN THING. SO THAT'S THE KIND OF THE BUSINESS MODEL THAT WE'RE ENVISIONING. SO ONCE WE GET TO THAT POINT, I REALLY KIND OF WANNA YOU KNOW, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY IMPORTANT COMMUNITY. THE COUNTY[00:20:05]
ACTUALLY DOES OWN SOME ASSETS IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. ALSO SO ANYWAY, I JUST KINDA WANNA TO ANNOUNCE THAT. UNFORTUNATELY WE ONLY BROUGHT A FEW BROCHURES, WHICH I'M GONNA LEAVE ON THE BACK TABLE FOR ANYBODY THAT'S INTERESTED. UM, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT. SO ANYWAY, YOU'RE GONNA BE HERE ON SATURDAY, RIGHT? I AM. CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS. OK? I'LL BE LATE. I HAVE A I HAVE A THING WITH THE HISTORIC HOPES THING, LITTLE 10 MINUTE SPEECH THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE VERY SHORT AND SWEET LAST YEAR, AND IT DIDN'T SO I INTEND TO BE HERE AS QUICKLY AS I CAN. YES, ALL RIGHT, THANKS. THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK, IN THIS AND GETTING IT GOING. THAT IS IT FOR NOW. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY, MOVING ON. TO OUR COMMENTS BY OUR VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS.

[00:25:01]
COME UP AND SO ON. I THINK THAT MAY MAKE SENSE TO UH, HAVE A WORKSHOP OR OR SET OUT TIME ON YOUR REGULAR AGENDA, WHICHEVER YOU WANNA DO, UH, TO UM, TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS A COUPLE OF THOSE THINGS. I THINK THAT MAY BE MORE EFFECTIVE DURING A REGULAR HABIT AS AN AGENDA ITEM AND EVERYBODY JUST BRING THE ODDS AND ENDS THAT WE KNOW THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUES AND HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT WE CAN RATHER THAN A WORKSHOP BECAUSE LORD KNOWS WE WORK SHARP . YOU KNOW, WE GOT WORKSHOPS. IT'S JUST AS EASY TO PUT IT IN. YEAH JUST AS A DISCUSSION AND THEN WE CAN GET SOME DIRECTION AND WORK IT UP. OK, GOOD. OKAY, THAT'S ONE THING I CAN'T REMEMBER. THE OTHER THING IS, THOUGH IT'LL WAIT TILL THE NEXT MEETING. WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS TAKING AN ORDINANCE. ORDINANCE FOR ORDINANCE IS JUST GOING THROUGH EACH AND EVERY ORDINANCE ONE BY ONE. UH, I WAS MORE THINKING. MORE OF CAUSE THERE ARE CERTAIN IN IN IN THE DAY TO DAY WORKINGS. WE HAVE FOUND CERTAIN THINGS LIKE THE TENT, UH, REQUIRED A TEMP PERMIT FOR SOMEBODY ON THEIR LIKE THE CHURCH OVER THERE, YOU KNOW, THEY NEED A TEMP PERMIT IN ORDER TO HAVE A TEMP THAT'S ON THEIR OWN LAND. YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT I DON'T THINK THAT'S RIGHT AND PROPER. UM THERE WAS ALSO I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES THAT I WROTE THOSE DOWN SPECIFIC THINGS THAT HAVE COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT WE KNOW THAT WE NEED TO DEAL WITH. I THINK THE LINE BY LINE CAN KIND OF COME. MAYBE A LITTLE BIT LATER OR MAYBE A T THE TAIL END. WE BRING THESE THAT WE KNOW OF. UP FIRST. AND THEN MAYBE THAT'D BE A PART OF THE PROCESS THE LINE BY LINE. MM. CAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE THERE A RE SOME GLARING THINGS THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE. MADAME, BUT I HEARING WHAT A VILLAGE ATTORNEY, WADE WAS SAYING. WHAT HE'S PROBABLY PROPOSING IS GIVING US A ROUGH TRACK. THAT'S JUST ON THE ONE ITEM. YEAH THE ROUGH DRAFT WAS JUST DIRECTED TO THE DISCUSSION. UH, THE DISCUSSION YOU'VE HAD AT AT IN PIECES AND PARTS AT MULTIPLE MEETINGS CONCERNING SPECIAL EVENTS AND SOME SOME CHANGES IN DIRECTION ON THAT, SO THIS WOULDN'T INCLUDE TENTS. THIS JUST DIRECTED TO THE SPECIAL EVENTS PROCESS, UM, FOR THE MORE GENERAL DISCUSSION, I THINK TENSE IS A GREAT THING TO DISCUSS. UM, YOU KNOW, LIKE A WORKSHOP. OF YEAH, IT COULD. YEAH DISCUSSION ITEM ON YOUR REGULAR AGENDA, AS OPPOSED TO IT IN DIFFERENT BECAUSE I THINK THAT THAT KIND OF THAT I THINK WE CAN TAKE KIND CARE OF THAT KIND OF QUICK.

MY FIRST INITIAL UH, REACTION TO THESE SAYS ONE OF THEM LOOKS LIKE A PROFESSIONAL PROPOSAL. IDENTIFIED AS A PROPOSAL NAME, ADDRESS AMOUNT TERMS OF CONTRACT. THE OTHER ONE IS AN EMAIL RESPONSE. UH, LISTING THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE DONE THE NAME OF A COMPANY, A WEBSITE, NOT EVEN AN ADDRESS OF THE COMPANY THAT IS MAKING THIS PROPOSAL, BUT THAT IS UP FOR APPROVAL NOW. TO ME, THAT'S KIND OF A NOT PROFESSIONAL WAY OF ACCEPTING A PROPOSAL THAT, UH WE ARE ALL COMMITTING TO OH, AND I WOULD I'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT MAYBE THIS ONE JUST SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS, BUT BUT I DO THINK THAT THOSE THINGS NEED TO BE ON IN PROPER FORMAT.

Approval of Agreement for Plan Review Services and Miscellaneous Engineering Assistance with Kimley-Horn and Associates in an Amount Not to Exceed $80,000.00 Annually.
]REGULAR AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. IS THIS ONE? I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MR NOLAN.WELCOME. UH, FOR THE RECORD, PAT NOLAN. PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES STRUCTURE. ITEM SEVEN IS, UH, APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT FOR PLAN REVIEW WITH KIM HORN ASSOCIATES. UH, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH KIM LE HORN ASSOCIATES FOR A YEAR NOW, SO THIS IS A RENEWAL OF A CONTRACT.
SPECIFICALLY IT'S MR TOM JENSEN. HE IS A REPRESENTATIVE FOR KIMBERLEY OR AND HE'S BEEN WORKING WITH THE VILLAGE. PRETTY MUCH ON EVERY PROJECT THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING. HE IF YOU RECALL WAS INVOLVED IN, UH, WHEN WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT A NEW WATER PLANT, HE DID ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING FOR THAT PROJECT AND EVERY PROJECT AFTER THAT, SO I BROUGHT HIM TONIGHT. NORMALLY WHEN YOU APPROVE A CONTRACT LIKE THIS, YOU JUST APPROVE IT AND MOVE ON. BUT BEING THAT HE'S BEEN WORKING FOR THE VILLAGE FOR THE LAST YEAR AND ALL OF THE WORK THAT HE'S PUT IN. I WANTED TO INTRODUCE HIM TO YOU AND GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK HIM ANY QUESTIONS. TO A FA MILIAR FACE. SO I I'M I'M TOM JENSEN, UH, WITH KIMBERLY HORN. AND AS, UH, TIN AND PAT. ALWAYS CORRECT ME AT MEETINGS THAT I'M ACTUALLY YOUR VILLAGE ENGINEER AS WELL. SO I LIKE PAT SAYS, I, UM, HELP PAT A LOT ON THE WATER PLANT. GET INVOLVED IN THE WASTEWATER PLANT, HELPING WITH PLAN REVIEWS AND WORK WITH UM, DINA AND LUCY, WITH ALL THE BASICALLY DR CS THAT COME UP SO I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY HERE. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF UH, THINGS THAT WE STILL NEED TO ADDRESS. AS YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, THE WATER PLAN IS REALLY CRITICAL TO PAT AND I AND ALL THE VILLAGE AND I THINK WE'RE WE'RE GETTING THERE. UH, IT'S NOT GOING AS FAST AS I'D LIKE TO SEE IT. BUT I, I THINK WE'RE GONNA GET THERE. WE ARE. WE HAVE TO GET THERE. YEAH, WE WILL. YEAH, WELL, NOW LET ME ASK YOU THIS. THIS, UM ANNUAL CONTRACT, IS IT? UM IS IT THE SAME AS LAST YEAR? HAS IT INCREASED ANY GONE DOWN ANY OR IS THAT I THINK WHAT HAPPENED WAS, YOU KNOW, PAT AND I SPOKE ABOUT IT. I THINK LAST YEAR WE HAD IT AT $60,000 THIS YEAR. BECAUSE OF SO MUCH GOING ON. WE INCREASED IT $80,000 AS YOU ALL KNOW, I'M NOT IN THE PAST FEW YEARS SEVERAL YEARS AGO, YOU ALL USED TO HAVE SOMEONE HERE THREE OR FOUR DAYS A WEEK. THAT'S NOT THE CASE. PAT AND HIS STAFF AND EVERYBODY CAN TAKE CARE OF THINGS ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. BUT I'M I AM HERE A CERTAIN WEEKS SO I COULD BE HERE POPPING IN FOR A FEW HOURS. UH, WITH PAT ON ON DOING INSPECTIONS OR DOING PLAN REVIEWS OR OR REVIEWING UH, PLANS I. I CAN REVIEW PLANTS IN MY OFFICE. I DON'T HAVE TO BE HERE ALL THE TIME. BUT I AM I AM WILL BE HERE.
