          [1.  Presentation by Sedron Technologies]
PRESENTATION THIS EVENING BY CEDRON TECHNOLOGIES. MR. MISTER TIM EVANSON FROM CEDRON IS JOINING US VIA ZOOM. TIM, I CAN JUST SEE THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD. THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU ARE. I GOTTA HAVE A HAT ON BECAUSE YES, THAT'S RIGHT. WITHOUT A HAT ON WOULD HAVE HAD A BIG SHINE THERE. AND IT'S A REALLY SCARY CLOSE UP. BUT I APOLOGIZE FOR THE BIG SCARY CLOSE UP I WAS SITTING. I'M AT THE, SEPTIC HAULERS TRADE SHOW UP IN DAYTONA BEACH, AND I GOT KICKED OUT. SO I HAD TO RUN OVER TO MY CAR. SO I APOLOGIZE FOR MY APPEARANCE AND SORT OF MY SCATTERED NESS RIGHT NOW, GIVE ME JUST A SECOND. I'LL HAVE MY PRESENTATION UP AND WE CAN RUN THROUGH IT VERY QUICKLY, MAY I ASK THAT THE SOUND BE A LITTLE LOUDER? THANK YOU. LOUDER LET ME WORK ON THAT. HOLD ON ONE SECOND. MR. EVANSON WAS ACTUALLY HERE FOR THIS PAST WEEK, UNTIL HE HAD TO GO TO THIS, SEPTIC HAULING, CONVENTION WHERE HE'S TRYING TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SEPTIC HAULERS ABOUT THEIR MATERIAL AND WHAT MAGNITUDE THEY HAVE IN THAT MATERIAL THAT THEY COULD USE. AND YOU GUYS HEAR ME BETTER NOW? ARE YOU STILL LOW? NO. ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA. I'M GONNA. CAN EVERYONE TURN YOUR MICS OFF? HOW ABOUT NOW? IF YOU COULD JUST 
          [00:05:15]
MAKE MAKE SURE THAT YOU SPEAK VERY PLAINLY. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAR YOU. IS IT. IS IT ANY BETTER NOW? MUCH BETTER. OKAY. PERFECT. LET ME SHARE MY SCREEN. AND I WILL SPEAK AS PLAINLY AS I CAN. I'M NOT REAL SMART, SO I CAN PROBABLY DO THAT PRETTY EASILY. 
          OKAY. ARE YOU GUYS SEEING MY, SCREEN NOW? YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO BE VERY BRIEF, I THOUGHT MAYBE I WOULD START WITH JUST KIND OF A REMINDER FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT NOT BE FAMILIAR OF, WHO CEDRON IS, AND, WHAT ARE WE DOING? WHAT'S OUR INTEREST IN INDIAN TOWN? WHAT DO WE HOPE TO DEVELOP? AND THEN WHAT KIND OF BENEFITS THAT BRINGS TO THE VILLAGE, AND THEN I'LL KIND OF WRAP UP WITH SORT OF, SOME, SOME OVERVIEWS OF WHAT THE SITE'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE, AND THEN, A TIMELINE AND KIND OF NEXT STEPS. SO LET ME JUST JUMP RIGHT INTO IT. IN THE INTEREST OF TIME HER. 
          OKAY REAL QUICK, WHO WHO IS CEDRON ACKNOWLEDGES WE ARE A WATER AND SANITATION COMPANY. 
          THAT WAS FOUNDED IN 2014, WE ARE FOUNDED BY PETER JANICKI, HE IS ACTUALLY THE CEO AND FOUNDER OF TWO COMPANIES, JANICKI INDUSTRIES AND CEDRON TECHNOLOGIES. JANICKI INDUSTRIES IS A VERY ADVANCED, ENGINEERING FIRM THAT DESIGNS AIRCRAFT COMPOSITE PARTS AND A LOT OF AEROSPACE MATERIAL. HE GOT INTERESTED IN MOVING INTO THE WASTEWATER AND SEWAGE PROCESSING BUSINESS THROUGH A PROJECT THAT HE WAS AWARDED BY THE BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION, WHERE THEY DESIGNED THIS SYSTEM DOWN HERE, WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO PROCESS THE WASTE FROM 2000 PEOPLE IN DAKAR, SENEGAL. SO THAT SYSTEM WAS BUILT AND INSTALLED, AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GATES FOUNDATION LED TO THE FOUNDATION OF A COMPANY CALLED CEDRON TECHNOLOGIES. IN 2014. WE ARE FOCUSED ON ESSENTIALLY FOCUSED ON WASTE PROCESSING, TURNING WASTE PRODUCTS INTO CLEAN WATER, DRY SOLID FERTILIZER AND A LIQUID AMMONIA BASED FERTILIZER. LET'S KEEP GOING HERE. THIS IS WHAT OUR SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE. OUR CORE SYSTEM, THIS ONE IS INSTALLED IN SUMNER, WASHINGTON, ESSENTIALLY WHAT COMES IN IS LIQUID WASTE, ANYTHING WILL WORK, AND IN FACT, WHAT THIS MACHINE DOES IS IT'S A COMBINED DEWATERING AND DRYING SYSTEM THAT RECOVERS THE SOLIDS FROM THE WASTE STREAM FOR BENEFICIAL USE OF FERTILIZER, AND IT CLEANS THE WATER SO THAT IT CAN ALSO BE REUSED, WHAT KIND OF GOT US INTERESTED IN INDIANTOWN WAS A PROJECT THAT WE DID JUST SOUTH OF SEATTLE, CALLED IN IN A CITY CALLED SUMNER, THIS WAS A SITE THAT PROCESSES BOTH, HUMAN SEPTAGE AND HUMAN BIOSOLIDS, WE ARE ABLE TO ACCEPT CLASS B BIOSOLIDS. WE ALSO TAKE SEPTAGE AND PORTA POTTY WASTE. WE CAN THROUGH SEPTAGE. WE GET A LOT OF FOG, WHICH STANDS FOR FATS, OILS AND GREASES. AND WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE A SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY BY LOWERING COSTS. IT'S CHEAPER TO SEND YOUR MATERIAL TO US THAN IT IS TO DISPOSE OF IT THROUGH LAND APPLICATION, WHICH IS THE TRADITIONAL WAY. A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I THINK ARE OF INTEREST TO THE TAXPAYERS OF INDIANTOWN IS WE BUILT THIS SUMNER FACILITY WITH ZERO TAXPAYER INVESTMENT, 100% PRIVATELY FUNDED, AND IT PRODUCES IT'S PRODUCED ABOUT 12 TO 15, HIGH PAYING, BLUE COLLAR JOBS THAT DIDN'T EXIST PRIOR TO OUR BUILDING. THIS PROJECT. SO WHY ARE WE INTERESTED IN INDIANTOWN, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS RED LINE RIGHT HERE, THERE ARE 9 MILLION PEOPLE THAT LIVE SOUTH OF THAT LINE, AND THERE'S NO PLACE TO DISPOSE OF BIOSOLIDS THAT IS SOUTH OF THAT LINE, AND THERE ARE A FEW SEPTIC PLACES, BUT THERE'S NO PLACE TO GET RID OF BIOSOLIDS, LAND, LANDFILLS NO LONGER WANT BIOSOLIDS. THERE'S YOU CAN APPLY. BIOSOLIDS IS ALSO BEING DECREASED, WHICH MEANS YOU NEED MORE DISPOSAL. THE SAME 
          [00:10:06]
AMOUNT OF BIOSOLIDS, AND THEN IN TERMS OF, SEPTAGE, THERE ARE FEWER AND FEWER PLACES THAT ARE WILLING TO TAKE SEPTAGE. SO THE PROBLEM IS WE'VE GOT THE POPULATION THAT'S GROWING VERY RAPIDLY. AND THE OPTIONS FOR DISPOSING OF BIOSOLIDS AND SEPTIC ARE DISAPPEARING. THAT'S WHAT MADE INDIANTOWN ATTRACTIVE TO US. SO WHERE WHERE ARE WE LOOKING TO BUILD A SITE, THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF. RIGHT HERE IS THE EXISTING WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT RIGHT ON BEELINE HIGHWAY OVER HERE, AND WE ARE GOING TO BE LEASING THIS, PROPERTY RIGHT HERE FROM THE VILLAGE, THAT'S AN APPROXIMATE APPROXIMATION. THE SHAPE OF THIS HAS CHANGED JUST A LITTLE BIT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE WE'LL BE LOCATED. THIS IS WHAT THE PLANT ORIGINALLY WAS DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE. SO THIS IS RAILROAD AVENUE RIGHT OVER HERE. AND THE ORIGINAL PLAN WAS TO GET THE EASEMENT FROM, MR. DEL CARPIO, WHO OWNS THIS TRUCK YARD UP HERE SO THAT WE COULD HAVE TRUCKS ENTER HERE AND COME ACROSS HIS PROPERTY AND ONTO OUR SITE, AFTER WORKING THROUGH IT WITH MR. DEL CARPIO, WE FIGURED OUT A BETTER WAY. SO THIS IS WHAT THE SITE LOOKS LIKE NOW. WE'VE, CHANGED THE SITE, THE ACCESS TO THE SITE SO THAT THERE WILL BE LESS, LESS DIFFICULTY FOR TRUCKS TO GET IN AND OUT, AND ALSO AVOID, TRUCK TRAFFIC RIGHT IN FRONT OF THESE HOUSES HERE, REAL HIGH LEVEL. THIS IS WHERE THE TRUCKS WILL COME IN. THEY WILL IF IT'S SEPTAGE, THEY WILL DROP OFF SEPTAGE HERE. IF IT'S BIOSOLIDS, THEY WILL BACK UP RIGHT WHERE THESE TRUCKS ARE, WHERE MY CURSOR IS, AND OFFLOAD SEPTAGE INTO A FULLY ENCLOSED, RECEIVING PIT. WE'LL BLEND THE SEPTIC AND THE BIOSOLIDS AND RUN THEM THROUGH THE CORE TECHNOLOGY, WHICH IS WHERE WE WILL SEPARATE IT INTO CLEAN WATER, DRY SOLIDS AND AMMONIA, WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR INDIAN TOWN? WELL, IT DEFINITELY PROVIDES A LOWER COST DISPOSAL OPTION FOR ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA, BUT ESPECIALLY FOR INDIAN TOWN FOR BIOSOLIDS, SEPTAGE AND PORTA POTTY AND FOR SOILS AND GREASES, WE KNOW WE CAN DO IT. WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE. WE'VE DONE IT ON DAIRY FARMS, AND WE'VE DONE IT IN SUMNER, AS I SHOWED YOU EARLIER. AGAIN, NO PRIVATE INVESTMENT. THIS IS 100% PRIVATELY FUNDED BY US AND A AND A FUNDING SOURCE THAT WE WORK WITH PRODUCES VERY GOOD, HIGH LOCAL, HIGH PAYING LOCAL JOBS. AND IT INCREASES THE TAX BASE FOR INDIAN TOWN PRODUCES RENEWABLE NITROGEN FERTILIZER. AND IT'S ALSO A POSSIBILITY THAT WE CAN FERTILIZER AND USE AS FUEL FOR CEMENT KILNS, THAT HAS THE BENEFIT OF TURNING A, A FUEL SOURCE, WHICH THEY CURRENTLY USE, WHICH IS COAL. TAKING THEM OFF OF A FOSSIL FUEL BASE OR A FOSSIL BASED FUEL AND COAL AND CONVERTING IT TO A RENEWABLE FUEL, WHICH IS BIOSOLIDS. SO BASICALLY, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS TURNING WHAT USED TO BE PERCEIVED AS A WASTE PRODUCT INTO A FERTILIZER. AND FUEL, AND TAKING THE WATER AND CLEANING IT SO THAT IT CAN ALSO BE REUSED IN TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE WITH THE PROJECT, THE NEXT STEPS ON THE TIMELINE ARE AS FOLLOWS, RIGHT NOW WE ARE IN THE PERMITTING PHASE, SO WE HAVE WE'RE WORKING ON SECURING THERE'S FIVE MAJOR PERMITS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE IN HAND, TO GET THE BALL ROLLING, THE FINAL SELL PERMIT, WHICH IS THE TOUGHEST OF THE FIVE TO GET, IS ALREADY IN. WE HAVE THAT ONE, THERE ARE FOUR MORE THAT WE ARE EXPECTING TO HAVE IN HAND IN THE NEXT SIX WEEKS. TWO OF THEM SHOULD BE IN NEXT WEEK. SO, WE WILL BE WELL ON OUR WAY TO HAVE ALL THE REQUIRED PERMITS FROM, FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND OTHER AGENCIES THAT REGULATE THIS STUFF. THE OTHER NEXT STEP IS, WE NEED TO FINALIZE THE LEASE, SUBLEASE AND EASEMENT DOCUMENTS, SO THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY. AND WE ARE PROPERLY, DOCUMENTED WITH IN, IN TERMS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, THIS THIRD ONE IS ONE THAT, MAY NOT BE OBVIOUS TO, TO SOME FOLKS, BUT SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE NEED FOR THIS EQUIPMENT HAS VERY LONG LEAD TIMES. SO VERY SOON, PROBABLY IN THE NEXT MONTH, WE WILL BE ORDERING THE LONG LEAD TIME ITEMS, SOME OF THOSE HAVE LEAD TIMES THAT ARE LIKE 12 TO 14 MONTHS. SO WE'VE GOT TO GET THOSE ON ORDER. NOW. 
          WE EXPECT TO BREAK GROUND, IT'S ACTUALLY LATE 2024, EARLY 2025. WE WANTED TO BE A LITTLE BIT CONSERVATIVE AND, PUT A NUMBER OUT THAT I KNOW I CAN BEAT INSTEAD OF RUNNING THE RISK OF, OF BEING LATER THAN EXPECTED. WE ALSO NEED TO SECURE SUPPLY CONTRACTS WITH REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS AND SEPTIC PROVIDERS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S ENOUGH MATERIAL TO 
          [00:15:06]
PROFITABLY RUN THEM, RUN THE SYSTEM, I'M I'M ALREADY. I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT FOR MONTHS, AND, WAS JUST DOWN IN SOUTH FLORIDA THE LAST TWO DAYS AND MAKING GREAT PROGRESS WITH, SEVERAL FACILITIES THAT ARE DESPERATE FOR NEW DISPOSAL OPTIONS FOR THEIR BIOSOLIDS AND FOR THEIR SEPTIC, THEY HAULED SEPTIC THAT THEY TAKE IN AND THEN WE EXPECT TO START RAMPING UP THE SYSTEM. IN OTHER WORDS, PROCESSING MATERIAL AND SOMETIME DURING THE SUMMER OF 2026, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WE COULD BE AHEAD OF THAT SCHEDULE BECAUSE OF THE PLANTS WE'VE EVER BUILT. HAVE BEEN IN, CLIMATES WHERE IT IT SNOWS OR IS RAINY, IN THE WINTER. WE DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM IN FLORIDA, SO WE THINK WE CAN GO A LITTLE FASTER ON OUR, IMPLEMENTATION. AND ON OUR RAMP UP. SO, I GOT A BUNCH OF SLIDES IN THE APPENDIX, BUT I'M GOING TO STOP THERE. I'VE JUST GOT THOSE SLIDES THERE JUST IN CASE, SOMEONE ASKS A QUESTION THAT I NEED TO, THAT I'VE GOT TO SLIDE TO ANSWERS. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO STOP SHARING AND, WRAP IT UP. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY. ONE LAST THING I'D LIKE TO ADD IS WE INTEND TO BRING THE LEASE, SUBLEASE AND EASEMENT DOCUMENTATION TO THE NEXT VILLAGE COUNCIL MEETING ON AUGUST 8TH, WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO, BUT WE BELIEVE WE'RE ON TRACK TO HAVE THAT AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW ON AUGUST 8TH. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. AND, JUST A BIG SHOUT OUT TO EVERYBODY IN INDIAN TOWN WHO'S BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN MAKING THIS HAPPEN. IT'S BEEN, IT'S BEEN A GREAT, GREAT PROJECT TO WORK ON. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE GOT A SOUND CHECK THERE. WE'RE GOOD, COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. THANK YOU. BUT COUNCIL MEMBER PALMER WAS FIRST COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          PALMER. THANK YOU, GOOD EVENING, SIR, MY BIGGEST QUESTION. I LIKE WHAT YOU WHAT YOU'RE BRINGING TO THE TABLE, WHAT YOU'RE BRINGING TO INDIAN TOWN, BUT MY ONE BIG, BIG QUESTION WITH ALL OF THAT, I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY JOBS WILL BE SLATED FOR THE RESIDENTS OF INDIAN TOWN AND WILL THERE BE TRAINING? AND HOW WOULD THE CITIZEN LEARN OF THE JOBS? BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE COME, BUT THE CITIZENS DON'T KNOW WHEN THE JOB, WHERE TO GO FOR THE JOBS. THAT'S MY QUESTION, THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION, AND THANK YOU FOR THA, GETTING A LITTLE ECHO, MAYBE THAT'S BETTER. NOW, FIRST OF ALL, WE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, WE PREFER TO HIRE LOCAL, IT'S JUST IT JUST WORKS BETTER FOR THE EMPLOYEE. IT WORKS BETTER FOR US. YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE PEOPLE COMMUTING, SO WE WOULD LOVE TO HIRE IF WE. IF POSSIBLE, WE'D LOVE TO HIRE 100% OF THE EMPLOYEES FROM THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. YES. WITH REGARD TO TRAINING, WE WILL TRAIN PEOPLE WITH WHATEVER SKILLS THEY NEED TO HAVE TO, TO OPERATE THE MACHINE IN SUMNER, WE TYPICALLY HIRED PEOPLE WITH MECHANICAL BACKGROUNDS FROM DIESEL MECHANICS TO WE. WE HIRED A COUPLE OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT OPERATORS, BUT MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE HIRED DID NOT HAVE DIRECT EXPERIENCE IN THIS. THEY JUST HAD MECHANICAL APTITUDE AND ARE WILLING TO WILLINGNESS TO LEARN. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. DID I ANSWER YOUR FULL QUESTION, OR DID I MISS A PART OF IT? THERE? YOU DID ANSWER THE QUESTION. I HAVE A LITTLE CAVEAT. I FORGOT TO ASK YOU, ABOUT THE BENEFITS WITH WITH THE BUILD. A FULL SCALE LINE OF BENEFITS FOR, FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES. ABSOLUTELY. YEP. FULL, FULL MEDICAL DENTAL, 401 K ALL OF THAT KIND OF STUFF. THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT'S MY PLEASURE. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR, SORRY, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I DEFINITELY THINK CEDRON WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO, INDIAN TOWN BECAUSE WE NEED TO FIRST BROADEN OUR TAX BASE. BUT ADDITIONALLY TO THAT, I KNOW SOME RESIDENTS HAVE HAD CONCERNS, ESPECIALLY THE PARK AREA, BECAUSE THIS WILL BE IN BOOGA PARK, AND ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS THE SMELL I KNOW YOU HAVE MENTIONED IT PRIOR IN OTHER COUNCIL MEETINGS IN REGARDS OF THE SMELL, BUT, WE DO HAVE MORE RESIDENTS HERE THAT I KNOW FACTUALLY LIVE IN BERGER PARK. AND SO FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON WITH CEDRON, BUT THE CONCERN IS THE SMELL, BECAUSE THE OTHER DAY, ACTUALLY, I HAD A RESIDENT CALL ME AND THEY MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A SMELL CURRENTLY AND YOU GUYS ARE NOT THERE. SO LIKE HOW THERE 
          [00:20:05]
THERE WAS A, A SUGGESTION AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, CEDRON HAS HAD IN CONSIDERATION. I KNOW, LIKE CITY OF PORT SAINT LUCIE PUT A WALL UP EVEN THOUGH THAT WALL UP, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST LIKE A PHYSICAL BARRIER OR, WHAT WHAT'S GOING TO HELP FOR THE RESIDENTS LIVING NEXT TO IT? BECAUSE WE DO HAVE RESIDENTS, RIGHT THERE. IT'S NOT A MAJOR, IT'S NOT A LOT OF RESIDENTS, BUT STILL, IT THAT SMELL OVERFLOWS TO THE FIRST STREET AND SECOND STREET. SO I WANTED TO SEE IF YOU CAN, TALK ABOUT THAT AND IF I MAY INTERJECT HERE REAL QUICK, I KNOW THAT WE HAD STAFF AND EVEN A COUNCIL MEMBER GO TO THE SITE AND REPORT BACK TO US THEIR FINDINGS AS TO HOW THAT PLANT IN WASHINGTON WAS RUN AND WHAT THEY SAW AND WHAT THEY SMELLED. AND SO I KNOW THAT, OUR MANAGER, COULD YOU SPEAK TO THAT REAL QUICK? SURE, FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE THERE FROM WITH THE DAY THAT WE WERE THERE, MR. NOLAN AND I MYSELF WITH COUNCILMAN DEPAULO, THERE WAS NO ODOR. I MEAN, TIM WILL TELL YOU THEY HAVE TO GET AN AIR PERMIT. 
          TIM IS A CERTIFIED SNIFFER. SO HE GOES AROUND AND MAKES SURE THAT THERE'S NO ODOR, THEY'VE GOT, ODOR, READERS THROUGHOUT THE AROUND THE, THE FACILITY. SO GO AHEAD. TIM. ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT MORE. YEAH. SO FIRST FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR THE SHOUT OUT FOR MY, MY NASAL RANGER CERTIFICATION. I'M QUITE PROUD OF THAT. BUT, YES. SO THE ANSWER ABOUT ODOR IS, BEING IN THE BUSINESS WHERE YOU'RE PROCESSING WASTE, IT'S ALWAYS A CONCERN, WE HAVE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT HOW ODOR MOVES, HOW TO DETECT IT, HOW TO MITIGATE IT, ALL OF THOSE THINGS THROUGH OUR PROJECT IN SUMNER, WE'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING WE'VE LEARNED THERE AND BASICALLY MULTIPLIED IT TIMES FIVE FOR THE DESIGN FOR INDIAN TOWN, WE HAVE AS AS TARYN MENTIONED, WE HAVE ELECTRONIC NOSES THAT ARE STATIONED AROUND THE PROPERTY. AND THEN WE HAVE SOFTWARE THAT CAN MONITOR THE AIRFLOW SO WE KNOW EXACTLY WHER, IF THERE IS ANY ODOR, WHERE IT WOULD FLOW AND HOW IT WOULD, HOW IT WOULD MOVE ABOUT, BUT I THINK THE BIGGEST NEWS IS THAT THE ODOR CONTROL SYSTEM THAT WE'VE DESIGNED FOR, FOR, FOR INDIAN TOWN, LIKE I SAID, IS ABOUT FIVE TIMES BIGGER THAN WHAT WE HAVE IN SUMNER. AND WE GET VERY, VERY, VERY FEW COMPLAINTS IN SUMNER. SO WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE IN A MUCH BETTER, AND, AND BASICALLY A ZERO ODOR SITUATION FOR, FOR INDIAN TOWN. DOES THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION, OR WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO MORE? NO, THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION. BUT ALSO I WANTED TO SEE IF, I KNOW IN OTHER COMMUNITIES JUST TRYING TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS, I KNOW CEDRON IS TRYING TO HELP THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN TRY AND DISPOSE OF WASTE, BECAUSE CURRENTLY THAT WASTE IS WAITS THERE UNTIL WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATION AND THAT GOES GETS SENT TO THE, TO, OKEECHOBEE WHERE THE, LANDFILL IS AT. BUT, I WANTED TO SEE IF CEDRON HAS CONSIDERED BEING LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR IN REGARDS OF, LIKE, HAVING, LIKE A, A MEETING SO THAT YOU CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS AND RESIDENTS CAN FEEL, YOU KNOW, COMFORTABLE BECAUSE YOU KNOW, IN INDIAN TOWN, A LOT OF PEOPLE HEAR LIKE INFORMATION FROM OTHER PEOPLE. AND SOMETIMES THAT GETS CONSTRUED IN ANOTHER WAY. SO LIKE IF WE CAN GET SOMETHING LIKE A MEETING SET UP IN BOCA PARK WHERE, CEDRON CAN EASE THOSE MINDS OF THE RESIDENTS BECAUSE I WON'T BE LIVING THERE, BUT THEY WILL. AND SO THEY THEY THEY THEY NEED, THEY NEED THE, THE SAFE INSURANCE OF THAT. THANK YOU. I THINK THAT'S, YEAH, A GREAT POINT. AND THE INTENT IS 100% TO HAVE COMMUNITY MEETINGS WHERE THEY CAN SIT AND LOOK ME IN THE EYE. THEY CAN LOOK ANYONE FROM OUR TEAM IN THE EYE. ASK WHATEVER QUESTIONS YOU WANT. AND WE WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THE COMMUNITY INTO THE PROCESS, AS YOU SAID, THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE ARE GOING TO BE IF THERE'S A PROBLEM, THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE GOING TO BE AFFECTED. SO I WANT THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING TO MAKE SURE THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM AND WHAT PROCEDURES WE HAVE IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT STAYS THE CASE. SO YES, THE ANSWER IS WE WILL BE GLAD TO SET UP AS MANY OF THOSE MEETINGS AS NECESSARY. AND I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR THE PATIENCE, BECAUSE I KNOW PERMIT PROCESSES AND ALL THAT IS TOUGH SOMETIMES, BUT, THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING INDIAN TOWN BECAUSE WE THIS WILL HELP US BROADEN OUR TAX BASE. THANK YOU. YEAH. 
          [00:25:04]
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY WELCOME. YOU, I GOT JUST ONE MORE SHOUT OUT. EVERYONE WE'VE WORKED WITH IN INDIAN TOWN, INCLUDING THE EP AND THE, THE PERMITTING AGENCIES HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY GOOD TO WORK WITH, SO WE'RE VERY THANKFUL THAT WE CHOSE INDIAN COUNTRY. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN DEPAULO, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING? YEAH, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT, TIM. THAT THAT EVERYBODY'S, MAKING, NOT MAKING IT HARD FOR YOU. I WENT OUT TO WASHINGTON, AND I SPENT AN EXTRA DAY OUT THERE, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU, I SPOKE TO RESIDENTS AS A RESTAURANT, NOT 50 YARDS AWAY FROM THE FRONT DOOR OF THE PLANT, AND NOBODY HAD ANY COMPLAINTS. AND I COULDN'T SMELL ANYTHING. AND I PROBABLY SPENT THE MOST TIME OF ANYBODY THERE. AND, I ACTUALLY GOT TO SEE IT OPENED UP, WHICH WAS PRETTY INTERESTING. SO YEAH, I THINK THE SMELL THAT COUNCILWOMAN HERNANDEZ IS REFERRING TO, AND PROBABLY PAT, IF HE'S THERE, I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S THERE, I THINK IT'S THE SMELL COMING FROM THE DEMOLITION OF EQUIPMENT THAT WAS ON THE WASTEWATER PLANT. SO YEAH, I THANK YOU, TIM. LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING YOU GUYS IN INDIAN TOWN. LIKEWISE. THANK YO. 
          THANK YOU. AND, TIM, I JUST ECHO WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS SAID, WE APPRECIATE IT. WE APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND TO, MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROCESS AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOU STAYING AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, BUT EVERY PLACE HAS ITS ISSUES, SO WE MAY NOT HAVE SNOW, BUT WE DO HAVE WET SEASON. AND LET'S HOPE WE DON'T HAVE A HURRICANE. 
          SO YOU KNOW, WE WILL COME WITH OUR CHALLENGES ALSO. AND I'M SURE THAT YOU GUYS WILL MEET THEM WITH NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH. REMEMBER I LIVE IN WASHINGTON, SO RAIN IS NOT A PROBLEM FOR ME. HURRICANES ARE, BUT RAIN IS NOT. WELL, WE'RE GLAD THAT YOU'RE PREPARED FOR THAT SITUATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY, MOVING RIGHT 
          [PUBLIC COMMENT (3 MINUTES EACH)]
ALONG. NEXT WE COME TO PUBLIC COMMENT, YOU ONCE AGAIN, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY'S TURNED IN THEIR PUBLIC COMMENT SHEETS, MADAM CLERK, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? YES, MA'AM. MR. DARRYL HOLMES. WELCOME, SIR, NAME? DARRYL, CAN YOU TURN THE MICROPHONE ON? THIS IS ABOUT MY THIRD OR FOURTH MEETING THAT I'VE ATTENDED, AND. I REMEMBER A COUPLE OF MEETINGS BACK. WE DISCUSSED ABOUT THE NO TRESPASSING SIGNS, AND I'M HERE AGAIN TO SPEAK ON THE TARGETED EFFORT TO HAMSTRING AND HANDICAP THE CONCERNED CITIZENS OF INDIAN TOWN. I HAVE BEEN DIGGING TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE MATTER OF THE NO TRESPASSING SIGNS PLACED ON PROPERTIES IN AND AROUND BOOKER PARK. YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL WHEN YOU ARE TARGETED, BECAUSE THE TARGETING IS ALWAYS CONCERTED, COORDINATED, AND A FIXED ONE. 
          THIS ISSUE WITH THE TRESPASSING SIGN HAS CAUSED ME TO DO A FOIA REQUEST AND WELL, JUST LET ME SAY IT HAS BEEN QUITE ENLIGHTENING. THERE IS NO DENYING THAT MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALS FROM PARKS, ARE INVOLVED IN THIS TARGETING. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WAS WEAPONIZED TO HELP AND SOLICIT TRESPASSING SIGNS AND WARNINGS AGAINST EVERY SINGLE CITIZEN IN BOOKER PARK. AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT IT WAS THE PERIOD RIGHT BEFORE ONE OF OUR BIGGEST EVENTS. THIS EFFORT WAS HIGHLY COORDINATED, AND YOU CAN TELL BECAUSE THEY ALL HAPPEN ON OR AROUND THE SAME DATES. THIS OUGHT TO REMOVE ANY DOUBT THAT THERE IS A COORDINATED EFFORT TO CONTROL AND NOT WORK WITH THE RESIDENTS OF BOOKER PARK, AND I'M ALMOST ASHAMED TO EVEN HAVE TO SAY THAT. THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT'S POLICY, AND I DO 
          [00:30:07]
BELIEVE IT'S A STATE LAW THAT AN OFFICER CANNOT SOLICIT A TRESPASS. ONE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS EXPLICITLY SAID THAT THEY WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULD DO, BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T DO IT AND SOMETHING HAPPENS ON THEIR PROPERTY, THEY CAN BE SUED. THAT'S COERCION. 
          AND AT THE VERY LEAST, IT'S COERCION. BUT IT'S ALSO BULLYING. YOU BULLY A HOMEOWNER INTO HAVING TO GET A TRESPASSIN. AND IT'S JUST SAD TO SAY IT HURTS ME TO SAY, BUT IT'S ALSO SAD TO SAY THAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE, IT'S STILL GOING ON OUR COMMUNITIES. PEOPLE THAT DON'T EVEN LIVE THERE ARE STILL TRYING TO CONTROL THOSE PREDOMINANTLY AND HISTORICALLY BLACK COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE NEXT IS MISS KIMBERLY JACKSON BROWN. 
          HI. HI. HI. GOOD EVENING. JACKSON BROWN, CONCERNED CITIZENS FOR BOOKER PARK, WHAT? I'M HERE FOR TONIGHT IS TO FIND OUT WHEN CAN WE SET A MEETING? TO DEBRIEF FROM SWAMPFEST. WE'RE TALKING IN CIRCLES. WE'RE TALKING ONE. THIS ONE AND THAT ONE. AND THE OTHER ONE. BUT WE NEED TO SIT DOWN WITH EVERYONE AND BE ABLE TO FACE TO FACE SO WE CAN BE TOLD EXACTLY WHAT WE DID AND DO WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE DONE, WHAT WE CAN DO MOVING FORWARD, WHAT PROMPTED ALL THESE TRESPASSING SIGNS? BECAUSE WE ARE STILL DIGGING AND WE ARE GOING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. AND IF WE HAVE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION, WE'RE PLANNING TO DO THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WE WERE TARGETED AND WE NEED SOME WE NEED SOME APOLOGIES OR SOMETHING. WE DON'T NEED A LOT, BUT WE NEED SOMEBODY TO STAND UP AND TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY. AND WE HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT WHERE IT STEMMED FROM. BUT WE KNOW THAT THAT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT IT WASN'T SOMETHING I EXPECTED FROM THIS PLACE. I LEFT INDIAN TOWN AT SOME POINT, STAYED IN MIAMI FOR A FEW YEARS, AND I ALWAYS CAME BACK HOME BECAUSE THIS WAS HOME. I COULD LEAVE MY KIDS AT HOME. I HAD ALWAYS DIDN'T WORRY THIS WAS HOME. THIS IS THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFERENT. THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE EVERYWHERE ELSE. AND THIS IS QUICKLY BECOMING LIKE EVERYWHERE ELSE. I CAN MOVE TO THE BIG CITY NOW. I CAN LEAVE INDIAN TOWN BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THIS IS BECOMING. AND I JUST IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE ALL OF THIS. I SEE ALL OF THE ATTACKS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I SEE ALL OF THIS STUFF, AND I'M LIKE, WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOODS? SO WE REALLY WANT TO SIT DOWN. WE KEEP ASKING FOR IT, BUT WE'VE GOTTEN NOWHERE. WE WANT TO SIT DOWN. WE WANT TO TALK TO EVERYBODY. SO WE CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK ANY OF US ACTUALLY JUST HATE EACH OTHER OR HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH EACH OTHER. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ALL LOVE, SO WE WANT TO GET DOWN BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THIS TO KEEP GOING DEEPER AND DEEPER AND DEEPER. 
          IT'S GETTING UGLY. I DON'T LIKE IT. I'VE MADE APOLOGIES TO PEOPLE FOR THINGS THAT I KNOW. I HEARD SOME PEOPLE FEELINGS, BUT I MEAN WHAT I SAY WHEN I'M BEING I FEEL LIKE MY COMMUNITY IS BEING ATTACKED NOW. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE JUST PUT IN ANOTHER APPLICATION FOR A SPECIAL EVENT. WE TALKED IN THE LAST MEETING ABOUT, THESE THESE EVENTS WE HAVE CERTAIN THINGS THAT COME ALONG WITH THE APPLICATION, SUCH AS INSURANCE. WE HAVE TO GET INSURANCE. BUT HOW UNFAIR IS IT TO GET INSURANCE AND THEN GET DENIED AND WE CAN'T GET OUR MONEY BACK FOR THE INSURANCE, AND WE HAVE TO PUT THE VILLAGE AS NAMED. SO THAT'S THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THERE SHOULD BE A PROCESS WHERE WE CAN PUT IN THESE APPLICATIONS AND THE APPLICATION CAN BE APPROVED PENDING THAT WE TURN IN ALL THIS OTHER STUFF. IT'S JUST SO UNFAIR. WE PAYING MONEY FOR THE APPLICATION AND THEN IF IT GETS DENIED, WE LOSE THE MONEY THERE, THERE, THERE AND THERE. 
          AND IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT. SO WE JUST ASKING ONE FOR THIS MEETING AND TWO FOR THAT TO BE A CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MISS LINDA NICCUM. GOOD EVENING, MISS NICCUM. FOR THE RECORD, LINDA NICCUM, I'VE MISSED THE LAST TWO MEETINGS, SO I'VE BEEN SAVING UP MY $0.02. I THINK I WANT TO DIRECT THIS MORE TO THE AUDIENCE THAN TO THE COUNCIL. I HAVE BEEN BEGGING PEOPLE FOR YEARS NOW TO ATTEND THESE MEETINGS. BRING YOUR ISSUES TO YOUR MEETINGS. I'M. 
          I'M SAD TO HEAR SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT ARE BEING BROUGHT UP, BUT I MUCH PREFER TO HAVE 
          [00:35:06]
THEM BROUGHT HERE THAN ON SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU CANNOT GET IT RESOLVED ON FACEBOOK OR NEXT DOOR HERE. YOU AT LEAST STAND A CHANCE. BUT I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR SHOWING UP AND FILLING THESE CHAIRS AND NOT MAKING ME FEEL LIKE A STRANGER. I HAVE A FEELING THEY OFFERED DOOR PRIZES AND I MISSED OUT ON THAT. THAT ANNOUNCEMENT. BUT THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE. 
          THANK YOU. THAT IS IT. MADAM MAYOR. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY. MOVING ON TO COMMENTS BY 
          [COMMENTS BY VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS]
OUR BY OUR VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ, THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THE TRAGIC DEATH OF SONIA MASI, WHO WAS KILLED REMINDS US OF THE VULNERABILITIES AND FEARS MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY FACE AS AN ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE AND THE DAUGHTER OF IMMIGRANTS. I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS THAT ARISE FROM OPERATIONS LIKE THE ONE RECENTLY CONDUCTED BY THE MARTIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE IN COLLABORATION WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THESE OPERATIONS ARE CONDUCTED TRANSPARENTLY AND FAIRLY, ENSURING THAT THE RIGHTS OF ALL INDIVIDUALS ARE RESPECTED. OUR COMMUNITY BENEFITS GREATLY FROM THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF IMMIGRANTS, AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE SUPPORT ALL RESIDENTS WHILE MAINTAINING PUBLIC SAFETY. I COMMEND OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR THEIR DEDICATION TO MAINTAINING THE RULE OF LAW AND PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY. I ALSO ENCOURAGE THEM TO CONTINUE THEIR EFFORTS IN A MANNER THAT UPHOLDS THE VALUES OF JUSTICE AND COMPASSIO. MANY MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY MAY FEEL UNSETTLED, AND IT IS OUR DUTY TO ENSURE THAT THEIR RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED, THEIR VOICES ARE HEARD, AND THAT THEY ARE TREATED WITH DIGNITY. THEY DESERVE. I WANTED TO THANK EVERYONE THAT IS IN ATTENDANCE TODAY. THANK YOU. I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS ROOM THAT FILLED IN A LONG TIME. THESE THIS IS WHERE THE DECISIONS ARE MADE, THEY'RE DONE AND THEY'RE DONE WITH FIVE COUNCIL MEMBERS, NOT ONE COUNCIL MEMBER, ONE COUNCIL MEMBER HAS 20% OF A VOTE TO GET THINGS DONE HERE. YOU NEED AT LEAST 60%. I ALSO WANTED TO FOLLOW UP WITH STAFF IN REGARDS OF WHAT I ASKED THE LAST TIME IN REGARDS OF CONSTRUCTION SITES THAT HAVE DIRT FLYING EVERYWHERE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. WE ALL KNOW THAT THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN. CITY OF STEWART OR IN ANY OTHER CITY. 
          THIS WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE. SO IF WE CAN HAVE SOME CHANGES ON OUR ELDERS. MR. ATTORNEY, WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? WHAT SHOULD WE DO SO THAT WE CAN GET THE BALL ROLLING ON THIS? BECAUSE I DON'T WANT IT TO BE STANDSTILL. ADDITIONALLY TO THAT, I ALSO WANTED TO ASK ABOUT CHARTER SO THAT THE COMMUNITY KNOWS, IF THERE ARE CHARTER CHANGES, WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN AND WHAT'S THE PROCESS? SO IF MR. VILLAGE ATTORNEY, YOU CAN, TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I HAVE HAD RESIDENTS, REACH OUT TO ME IN REGARDS OF CHARTER CHANGES IN REGARDS OF COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE DECISION OF MAYOR. SO IF YOU CAN GO INTO HOW THAT PROCESS IS BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S NOT LIKE A ONE DAY TO YOU DO IT TODAY AND TOMORROW IT'S DONE. IT'S LIKE THERE'S A PROCESS AND I, I RENDER THE FLOOR. THANK YOU. DO YOU WANT TO WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO BRIEFLY ADDRESS THOSE? SURE. 
          NOW, AS TO THE FIRST ISSUE WITH REGARD TO, ADDITIONAL LDR, REVISIONS, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT ADDING ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS WITH REGARD TO, TO DEALING WITH ISSUES LIKE THAT, IT'S AS MUCH OF A CONSTRUCTION OR SITE ENGINEERING ISSUE AS IT IS LEGAL ISSUE. WHAT I SAY BY THAT IS I DON'T WANT TO PLAY FAKE, FAKE ENGINEER OR FAKE CONTRACTOR TO TELL YOU THESE ARE THE BEST PRACTICES IN A GIVEN INSTANCE TO DEAL WITH IT IN ADDITION TO THE ONES WE'VE DISCUSSED AND SO ON, LIKE WATERING AND WATER TRUCKS. TO, TO TAMP IT DOWN WHEN THINGS GET DRY, IT WOULD BE WORTHWHILE TO INQUIRE AS TO WHAT ADDITIONAL, TECHNIQUES MAY BE. AND WE CAN LOOK AT ADDRESSING THAT IN THE LDA'S TO THE OTHER ISSUE WITH REGARD TO CHARTER AMENDMENTS, THE MOST 
          [00:40:06]
STRAIGHTFORWARD WAY THAT THE VILLAGE'S CHARTER COULD BE PROPOSED TO BE AMENDED IS THE VILLAGE COUNCIL CAN PROPOSE TO THE VOTERS AN AMENDMENT BY ORDINANCE. OKAY. THE VILLAGE COUNCIL WOULD ADOPT AN ORDINANCE THAT WOULD HAVE A CHARTER CHANGE IN IT, AND THEN THAT CHARTER CHANGE WOULD GO ON THE BALLOT FOR APPROVAL. OKAY. THERE IS ALSO A PETITION PROCESS THAT FOLKS CAN FOLLOW THAT'S IN STATE STATUTE. I WILL SHARE WITH YOU THAT IN MOST PLACES, THAT'S AN INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT ROAD TO GO, JUST FROM PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE, SEEING IT ALL OVER THE STATE, YOU HAVE TO GET 10% OF THE VOTERS IN A JURISDICTION TO SIGN A PETITION FOR THAT. OFTEN THE MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD WAY IS, ADVOCATING SOMETHING FORWARD WITH THE GOVERNING BODY. HERE, THE VILLAGE COUNCIL. SO WHAT YOU END UP WITH IS IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE A CHARTER CHANGE, UNDER THAT REGIME, THE VILLAGE COUNCIL WOULD HAVE IT PUT TOGETHER AND VOTE ON IT AS AN ORDINANCE. AND THEN WHEN AN UPCOMING ELECTION WAS COMING UP TO BE PUT ON THE BALLOT, YOU COULD HAVE A SPECIAL ELECTION FOR IT. BUT THAT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY. SO OFTEN BETTER TO PUT IT ON A BALLOT THAT'S ALREADY GOING TO BE COMING. THANK YOU SIR. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER PALMER. 
          GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. I HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING GREAT. WE'RE BACK HERE WITH THE SAME THING. 
          SO LET'S JUST BITE THE ELEPHANT ONE PIECE AT A TIME. LET'S TALK ABOUT THOSE NO TRESPASSING SIGN. 
          WE REALLY NEED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. WHY WAS THOSE TRESPASSING SIGNS PUT UP? WHO ORCHESTRATED IT AND WHY? LET'S DEAL WITH THAT. LET'S THIS. LET'S GET THIS ELEPHANT OFF THE TABLE. OKAY, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO STAFF. I'M LOOKING FOR YOUR EXPERT EXPERTISE. WE NEED TO DEAL WITH IT. IF MARTIN COUNTY IS DOING SOMETHING THEY HAD NO BUSINESS DOING, THEN WE NEED TO. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. PERIOD OKAY. THE NEXT THING IS, OKAY. 
          REQUESTING A MEETING. WE TALKED ABOUT THE MEETING LAST TIME. LAST LAST MONTH. RIGHT. LET'S LET'S GET THOSE TWO THINGS OFF THE TABLE. WE DO NOT NEED TO COME HERE AGAIN ABOUT THE PERMITS OR ABOUT A MEETING. WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND DEAL WITH THIS. IF WE DON'T DEAL WITH IT, IT'S GOING TO FESTER AND IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE MORE DIVIDE. WE DON'T NEED ANY DIVIDE. I KNOW SOMEBODY MAY SAY, WELL, WE DON'T NEED A MEETING. YES WE DO. IF THE RESIDENTS IS CALLING FOR THE MEETING, LET'S GET THE RESIDENTS WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR. LET'S GIVE THEM THE MEETING. LET'S COME TO THE TABLE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE ARE ALL INTELLIGENT INDIVIDUALS AND WE ALL LIVE HERE TOGETHER. WE EMPLOY STAFF BECAUSE STAFF ARE THE EXPERTS. OKAY? SO THEY CAN TELL US WHAT SHOULD BE DONE, WHAT SHOULDN'T BE DONE. EVERYTHING THAT THE COUNCIL HAVE SAID, STAFF HAVE PUT IN PLACE. SO NOW LET'S BRING ALL THE PERMITS THAT WERE WERE GIVEN TO THE CONCERNED CITIZEN OF BOCA PARK AND WHAT WAS GIVEN TO STAFF. LET'S PUT IT ON THE TABLE. LET'S DEAL WITH IT SO WE CAN PUT THAT DOG TO BED. OKAY. LET'S JUST DO THAT AND BRING MARTIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO THE TABLE TOO, TO FIND OUT WHY WERE THOSE TRESPASSERS PUT WHO ASKED FOR THEM? WHO DID THE RESIDENTS ASK FOR THEM? LET'S GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY. BECAUSE IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SEAMLESS COMMUNICATION AND RELATIONSHIP, WE GOT TO JUST PUT IT ALL OUT THERE. AND IF IT WAS WRONG, THEN IT JUST WAS WRONG AND WE JUST MOVE FORWARD. SIMPLE AS. THAT'S HOW YOU EAT THAT ELEPHANT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER DEPAULO. YEAH. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. 
          OKAY VICE MAYOR PEREZ. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. I ALSO WANT TO PIGGYBACK ON A COMMENT. I THINK WE DO NEED TO HAVE THIS MEETING. WE'RE CIRCLING BACK AND FORTH, BACK AND FORTH.

BUT WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND GET A POST UPDATE. WELL, WHEN THIS CAME UP, BEFORE I ASKED YOU AS A COUNCIL HOW YOU WANTED THAT TO BE FACILITATED AND NOBODY, I MEAN, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE USEFUL FOR JUST STAFF AND THE APPLICANTS AND OPENING UP. I THINK IT HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF COUNCILMAN. DEPAULO AND MR. VOSE PUT FORWARD CHANGES FOR THE SPECIAL EVENT THAT WENT TO PCB AS A PUBLIC MEETING. THERE WERE PEOPLE THERE THAT SPOKE TO IT. THEY TALKED ABOUT WHAT THEY WANTED CHANGED WHAT THEY DIDN'T LIKE, WHAT THEY DID LIKE. AND IT CAME BACK TO MR. VOSE AND STAFF

IT WILL GO BACK TO PCB, WHICH IS ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH IS A ORGANIZED HAS THE BAILIFF, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, JUST FOR PEOPLE TO SIT DOWN AND START SAYING, WELL, YOU SAID THIS AND YOU DID THAT AND MAKING INNUENDOS AND MAKING ACCUSATIONS THAT AREN'T FOUNDED. AND I WROTE A MEMO. I WAS GOING TO SEND IT OUT TONIGHT, BUT I DIDN'T GET TO IT YET. ON THE SPECIFICS OF WHAT WAS NOT IN THE APPLICATION THAT HAPPENED AT THE EVENT. THAT WAS IDENTIFIED BY STAFF. THERE WERE THINGS AND SO BUT THIS HAS GOT TO BE A MEETING THAT, IS SOMEHOW FACILITATED. AND HOW SOON COULD WE MAKE IT HAPPEN? THAT'S UP TO YOU ALL. IF YOU WANT THE COUNCIL INVOLVED. THAT'S I FEEL THAT WE NEED TO HEAR, HEAR FROM THEM. 
          YOU KNOW, WE HAVE IT WORKS. YOU KNOW COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY. AND WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER TO FIND OUT. OKAY. THIS IS WHAT SUBMITTED. THIS IS WHAT WORK DIDN'T WORK. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW I WASN'T THERE, YOU KNOW, I WASN'T THERE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I HEARD, BUT I ALSO I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE CONCERNED CITIZENS OF BOCA PARK. 
          OKAY I. OKAY. SORRY. CAN I SO AT A STARTING POINT. SHOULD WE DISCUSS THIS AT THE END? WHEN DURING DISCUSSION OR. THIS IS JUST COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS? I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO LET PEOPLE COMMENT. YES, MA'AM. OKAY SO THANK YOU. VILLAGE MANAGER FOR THAT. AND YOU DID YOU DID DO JUST WHAT YOU SAID. SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE BECAUSE IF WE FAILED, BECAUSE YOU ASKED THE QUESTION AND NOBODY ANSWERED IT. SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING THAT WE GET HERE EARLY ON THAT DAY. IF EVERYBODY CAN GET GET HERE, AT LEAST BY 530, LIKE WE DID TODAY WITH THE BUDGET MEETING COME AT 530. IF WE IF FACILITATE. I'M A FACILITATOR. IF WE IF I NEED TO BE. I'LL DO THAT. OKAY. OKAY OKAY. SO IF WE COULD LET'S LET'S LET'S TAKE IT OFF THE TABLE. 
          OKAY STAFF WILL MAKE THEMSELVES AVAILABLE IF THE COUNCIL IS OKAY. AVAILABLE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY IN REGARDS OF THAT, IF WE NEED A FACILITATOR JUST TO YOU KNOW, TAKE OUT ALL THE THAT WOULD BE LIKE, YOU KNOW, HOW COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE THE STRATEGIC PLANNING JUST IN REGARDS OF MORE OPENLY COME IN WITH POSITIVE ENERGY OR NEUTRAL ENERGY WOULD BE, SOMETHING SUGGESTIBLE. THANK YOU. SO, JIM, I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S, BEFORE BEFORE THAT. IF THIS IS THE WAY THAT THE COUNCIL WANTS TO MOVE BEFORE THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST, IF I CAN MEET WITH, MISS JACKSON BROWN AND MISS KRISTA, IF WE COULD SIT DOWN AS THE EVENT COORDINATOR AND AS THE HEAD OF STAFF, AND MAYBE WE CAN GET A PATH FORWARD. I WOULD LIKE TO BE IN THAT MEETING. WE CAN'T, BECAUSE THE SUNSHINE. JUST MISS, JACKSON BROWN, ARE YOU AMENABLE TO THAT PART OF CONCERNS FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT? AND WE HAVE OTHER. I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH IT. JUST BEING MYSELF. OKAY? I WAS TRYING TO GET A STARTING POINT. I'M NOT THE WHOLE COUNCIL, BUT WE COULD AT LEAST BE, YOU KNOW, IN LEADERSHIP, YOU KNOW, BE THE HEAD AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE START THE PROCESS. SO, YOU'RE NOT YOU DON'T WANT TO WANT TO TAKE THAT ROUTE. IT'S NOT JUST MYSELF, OKAY? OKAY. OKAY, OKAY. SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT DOES THE REST OF THE COUNCIL WANT A WORKSHOP? THEN THE. WHAT IS IT, THE EIGHTH? YES. WE DON'T HAVE A BUDGET WORKSHOP. THE EIGHTH? NO, MA'AM. OKAY. 22ND. OKAY. YOUR FIRST ONE. OKAY MADAM. MADAM MAYOR. YES, SIR. I BEG TO CHIME IN JUST FOR A SECOND. JUST REMEMBER, KEEP IN MIND THAT THE ELDERS ARE CHANGING. THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS. SO DISCUSSING THE PAST AND WHAT HAPPENED. AND IT THE FUTURE IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT THAN. THAN THE PAST HAS BEEN. SO YOU MIGHT 
          [00:50:09]
WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE ELDERS AND SEE. I MEAN, I HATE TO SEE THE COUNCIL GET INTO REHASHING SOMETHING THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO MATTER AT THE END OF THE DAY BECAUSE WE'RE CHANGING THE ELDERS. SO IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS LAST EVENT AND WHAT WENT WRONG OR WHAT THE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, THAT'S ONE THING. BUT LOOKING FORWARD, WE NEED TO LOOK AT THOSE NEW ELDERS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING OUT. SO WE MIGHT WANT TO WAIT TILL THE PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED BEFORE WE SIT DOWN WITH ANYBODY. YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER THAT. WELL, WE I, I HEAR YOU, AND I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD, WE NEED TO HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ON THE TABLE AS TO WHERE WE ARE GOING WITH THE ELDERS, SO WE CAN MAYBE HAVE THAT DRAFT WITH US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. DOES THAT SOUND? WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE YOU THINK WE CAN HAVE YOU. WE CAN HAVE YOU A DRAFT. I, I WOULD OFFER I WOULD OFFER THIS THOUGHT KIND OF THREADING THE NEEDLE BETWEEN, PIECES OF THE DISCUSSION HERE, I THINK THERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF CHANGES. WE GOT VERY GOOD FEEDBACK FROM, FROM FOLKS WHO ARE HERE TONIGHT AND OTHER FOLKS, IN THE PUBLIC AT THE PTA MEETING AND FROM PCB MEMBERS FOR ADDITIONAL, POTENTIAL REVISIONS, I THINK GENERALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE DIRECTION THAT THE COUNCIL WAS GOING. SO IT'S, BUT, I THINK IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A DISCUSSION, YOU KNOW, KIND OF AN AFTER ACTION DISCUSSION ON, ON ALL THIS, IT MIGHT BE ABLE TO FURTHER INFORM JUST TO MAKE SURE WE CAN IRON OUT EVERY ISSUE, THAT MAY RELATE TO ELDERS AND SO ON. SO WE'LL, WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO HAVE SOMETHING TOGETHER, FOR YOU TO. IT WILL NOT BE THE FINAL, FINAL FORM, BUT SOMETHING THAT'S FURTHER EVOLVED ALONG. AND IT MIGHT BE A PIECE OF THE DISCUSSION. OKAY, OKAY. OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. OKAY SO. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. ATTORNEY VOTES FOR THAT I THAT IS I APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE ONCE WE ADDRESS IT IT'S ADDRESSED. AND IT CAN'T COME UP AGAIN BECAUSE WE ADDRESS IT. AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE SOMETHING SOME FORM OF, GUIDANCE BECAUSE I THINK WHAT THEY WERE ASKING FOR WAS A DEBRIEF AND A DEBRIEF FROM ALL OF MY LEGAL AND CORPORATE UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE COME TO THE TABLE AND WE FIGURE OUT WE FIND OUT WHAT WORKED, WHAT DIDN'T WORK, AND HOW WE MOVE FORWARD FOR THE NEXT. AND I KNOW THE LDR WAS THE NEW CHANGES AND AMENDMENT. ALL THAT STUFF IS COMING. BUT TO PUT THE CITIZENS OF BOCA PARK MIND AT EASE THAT WE THE COUNCIL BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE BEING PUT IN A BAG OF RACISM. I DON'T LIKE THAT. I DON'T WANT TO BE PUT IN THAT BAG THAT THE COUNCIL DID THIS. I DON'T WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT. 
          SO I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THAT. AND I AND I THANK YOU. TARA, THE VILLAGE MANAGER, FOR MOVING FORWARD. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE A PATH FORWARD? YOU'RE GOING TO MEET AT 530 ON THE 8TH OF AUGUST, AND WE'LL HAVE, MR.

          [5.  Approval of The Village of Indiantown to Piggyback agreement between M&M Asphalt, LLC d/b/a All County Paving and The City of West Palm Beach for Asphalt and Roadway repairs throughout the Village.
]
ITEM NUMBER FIVE. YES, MA'AM. THIS IS A REQUEST FROM MR. NOLAN AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION TO PIGGYBACK ON A ASPHALT CONTRACT, THIS THIS COMPANY ACTUALLY HAD BID ON ANOTHER PROJECT THAT WE HAD PUT OUT ON THE STREET, BUT THEY ALSO DID THE, MARTIN GRADE ASPHALT. AND MR. NOLAN WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THEIR WORK. AND SO THEY SENT HIM THIS, CITY OF WEST PALM CONTRACT, AND WE'RE JUST ASKING TO PIGGYBACK ON IT. AND WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MR. NOLAN. GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR. COUNCIL. PAT NOLAN, FOR THE RECORD, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES. THIS ITEM BEFORE YOU IS A PIGGYBACK CONTRACT WITH M&M ASPHALT. AS, VILLAGE MANAGER SAID EARLIER, THEY'VE DONE WORK AROUND THE VILLAGE. THEY DID THE MARTIN MARTIN GRADE PROJECT. THEY ALSO WITH THE GAS PROJECT THAT WAS DONE HERE, THE NATURAL GAS PROJECT HERE IN THE VILLAGE. 
          THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I SAW THE CONTRACTOR AT WORK. ALL THE PATCHES THAT YOU SEE THAT HAVE BEEN PUT IN THE VILLAGE RECENTLY, ALL THE PAVEMENT IN THE INTERSECTIONS AND, WHERE THE GAS COMPANY WORKED, THAT IS THAT CONTRACTOR. THAT'S HOW WE BECAME THAT'S HOW I SAW THEIR WORK. SO, YOU KNOW, I SOUGHT THEM OUT, HAD A CONVERSATION. AND THAT'S WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY IS THIS PIGGYBACK CONTRACT SO THAT WE CAN START WORK WITH THIS CONTRACTOR IN THE FUTURE TO START ADDRESSING THE PUBLIC WORK ISSUES THAT WE HAVE OUT IN THE STREETS. THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WE PUT ON THAT IS, $300,000. THAT WOULD BE, NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT. IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE BASED ON HOW THE BUDGETARY CONVERSATIONS GO, YOU KNOW, ON OUR NEXT FEW MEETINGS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BUDGET. BUT THAT IS A STARTING POINT FOR THE FUTURE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, THERE ARE QUALITY CONTRACTOR. THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. AND YOU KNOW, IF WE START THIS PROGRAM, WE'RE GOING TO START INVESTING IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE. WE'VE BEEN INVESTING IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE AS YOU KNOW. I MEAN, YOU SEE ME PROBABLY EVERY MEETING ABOUT SOMETHING TO DO WITH INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT IT'S MOSTLY BEEN WATER AND WASTEWATER. WELL, WE'RE STARTING TO FOCUS ON PUBLIC WORKS AS WELL. AND THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF IT. THANK YOU SIR. DO WE HAVE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION. OKAY A MOTION HAS BEEN MADE TO APPROVE. IT HAS BEEN SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PALMER. DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. YES. 
          THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. I JUST HAD A QUESTION. LIKE YOU SAID, WE'VE BEEN, INVESTING IN EQUIPMENT. I KNOW WE GOT, LIKE, A DUMP TRUCK AND ALL THAT. WHAT? HOW DOES THAT WORK WITHIN THIS? THE DUMP TRUCK IS BEING USED EVERY DAY, IT'S PULLING A LAWNMOWER. WE USE IT TO PICK UP, CLIPPINGS FROM THE TREES. WE'RE GOING TO START. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED. THERE'S A LIFT OVER AT THE VILLAGE PROPERTY. WE'RE GOING TO START TRIMMING TREES. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO USE A DUMP TRUCK OF THAT. WE ALSO USE A DUMP TRUCK. WE PATCH SOME OF THE POTHOLES THAT ARE THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE. THIS CONTRACT WITH EMINEM IS GOING TO TAKE IT ANOTHER STEP FURTHER AND THOSE THINGS WILL BE INTEGRATED. YOU TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, YOU KNOW, CONTRACTING SOME THINGS OUT. 
          WE'RE TRYING TO DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN IN-HOUSE. WE'RE GROWING, WE'RE TAKING ON MORE AND MORE. 
          BUT THERE ARE SOME PROJECTS LIKE THIS THAT WE CANNOT DO IN-HOUSE. AND THAT'S WHY THIS NEXT STEP I'D LIKE TO TAKE, SO THAT WE CAN BRING IN THE EXPERTS AND DO THE ASPHALT AND GET IT DONE. AND WITH A CONTRACT LIKE THIS, YOU CAN PLAN TO WORK WHATEVER THAT THAT BUDGET AMOUNT WILL TAKE US, GET IT DONE, GET IT DONE QUICKLY AND THEN PLAN FOR THE NEXT YEAR. AND THAT'S THE GOAL. WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PLAN. YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A CIP IN THE PAST. 
          WE HAVE TO DEVELOP. WE HAVE A CIP FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. WE HAVE TO DEVELOP A CIP FOR 5 TO 10 YEARS OUT. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS AT THE BEGINNING OF STARTING THAT AND THEN TAKING WHAT WE DO AND GROW WITH THAT. SO AFTER THIS APPROVAL, WHEN SHOULD WE START 
          [01:00:01]
SEEING AFTER OCTOBER FIRST. YES. YES. BECAUSE AGAIN IT'S ALL A LOT OF THIS IS GOING TO COME DOWN TO, YOU KNOW WE PUT A PRICE TAG OF 300,000 IN THERE. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL DO A FAIR AMOUNT OF WORK. BECAUSE I DID LOOK BACK INTO WHAT WE WERE DOING PREVIOUS BEFORE I GOT HERE, AND THAT'S IT WAS $350,000 IS WHAT YOU WERE DOING A YEAR BEFORE I GOT HERE, AND THEN WE DIDN'T FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BECAUSE WE HAD A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON AND PUBLIC WORKS WASN'T THE FOCUS, WE WERE FOCUSING ON THE WATER AND WASTEWATER. WELL, WE'RE GOING TO EXPAND ON THAT FOCUS AND START ON THE PUBLIC WORKS. AND THAT'S WHERE I CAME UP WITH THAT NUMBER AFTER TALKING TO THE CONTRACTOR. THAT'S A REASONABLE NUMBER. WE COULD DO A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF WORK EACH YEAR. IT WOULD BE A GOOD, GOOD PLACE TO START. OH, SO THIS IS LIKE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THIS WOULD THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, IT WOULD BE THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. 
          THAT $300,000. YES. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. AND THANK YOU SURE. TO EVERYONE IN PUBLIC WORKS BECAUSE WE NEED OUR POTHOLES FILLED. WE DO NEED WE NEED OUR STREETS. WE'RE EXCITED FOR ALL THE ALL THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR A LONG TIME TO COME ONLINE TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN, AND I'M EXCITED FOR THAT. YEAH. COUNCIL MEMBER PALMER. OKAY, THANK YOU, MR. NOLAN, I JUST WANT TO BE I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND. I THINK I HEARD YOU SAID THAT, WHAT WITH ALL THE EQUIPMENT THAT YOU HAVE, THE DUMP TRUCK AND WHAT HAVE YOU. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STUFF THAT YOU'RE DOING NOW IS SAVING US MONEY. IT IS. OKAY, THAT'S BECAUSE I. BUT I NEED TO ADD TO THAT, YOUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW IS TWO PEOPLE. OH WOW. TWO AND A HALF, IF YOU COUNT ME. BUT YOU CAN'T COUNT ME. 2.5. ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN OF YOUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WAS HERE, IVAN. THAT'S ONE. AND THEN WE'VE GOT DAVID HERNANDEZ. THAT'S TWO. WE INTERVIEWED A YOUNG MAN TODAY. HOPEFULLY HE TAKES THE JOB AND WE WILL HAVE THREE PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC WORKS, AND WE'LL DO MORE. BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS TWO PEOPLE. AND IVAN ALSO WORKS IN THE WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT. SO WE'RE STRETCHED. BUT EVEN IF WE HAD TEN PEOPLE, WE DON'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO DO THE WORK THAT WE'D LIKE EMINEM TO DO. SO AGAIN, IT'S NEXT STEP. OKAY. WELL, WE DEFINITELY APPRECIATE YOU. ESPECIALLY THE POTHOLES ARE RIDICULOUS. TIRES UP YOUR TIRES. IT DOES. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          ANYBODY ELSE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO MADAM MAYOR OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE ALL OPPOSED. PASSED 
          [6.  Approval of Lease with Beaver EcoWorks, LLC for Sewage Water Post-Treatment Trailer
]
UNANIMOUSLY. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER SIX. YES. THAT'S A LEASE THAT WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD WITH BEAVER ECO WORKS FOR OUR, WATER, OUR WASTEWATER, POST-TREATMENT TRAILER. AS YOU REMEMBER, WE, ENGAGED THESE INDIVIDUALS TO HELP US ON THE WATER SIDE, BUT NOW WE'VE ENGAGED THEM TO HELP US ON THE WASTEWATER SIDE TO MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT. SO YOU HAVE SANJEEV AND TED HERE, AND JAMIL ALSO. MR. NOLAN CAN TALK TO THE BENEFITS THAT HE HAS SEEN SINCE WE'VE HAD THAT TRAILER. 
          THEY WERE, THEY BROUGHT IT IN AS A PILOT TO DEMONSTRATE TO THE VILLAGE THAT IT ACTUALLY WORKED, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO SHOW THAT IT WORKED WITHIN A MONTH'S TIME. AND SO WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO BUY IT OUTRIGHT. TODAY. WE'RE HOPING THAT WE'LL GET SOME ADDITIONAL SRF FUNDING OR WASTEWATER FUNDING THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND PURCHASE IT. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WE WANT TO GET INTO A LEASE SO THAT THEY'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, SO THAT WE START MOVING FORWARD. PAT NOLAN AGAIN, WHAT THIS IF YOU RECALL, WE BROUGHT IN BEAVER ECHO WORKS OVER TO WATER TREATMENT PLANT TO DO SOME PRETREATMENT. AND IT WORKED VERY WELL, IN CONVERSATION WITH THEM, WE HAVE NEEDS AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT AS WELL. AND PART OF IT WAS POTABLE WATER. WE USE 30,000 GALLONS A DAY OF POTABLE WATER AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT FOR CHLORINE INJECTION. AND ALSO CLEANING THE PLANT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WE HAVE CAPACITY ISSUES ON THE POTABLE WATER SIDE. SO WE TALKED ABOUT BRINGING THAT TRAILER IN TO SUPPLEMENT WHAT WE'RE DOING AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT ON THE POTABLE WATER SIDE SO THAT WE DON'T USE THAT WATER. SO WE HAVE IT FOR THE DRINKING WATER SIDE. 
          AND THEN ALSO WHAT IT IS DOING IS ENHANCING OUR TREATMENT PROCESS AND MAKING US, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT MORE RELIABLE. YOU MADE A COMMENT EARLIER ABOUT ODOR AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT. 
          THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE WE HAD A FAILURE AT OUR 40 YEAR OLD WASTEWATER PLANT. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN WORSE SHAPE IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT TRAILER THERE BECAUSE WE LOST, THE BLOWER AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT DUE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT COMPROMISED OUR POSITION, AND WE WEREN'T ABLE TO TREAT THE WATER LIKE WE WOULD LIKE TO. BUT BECAUSE THE TRAILER WAS ON SITE, WE WEREN'T NEARLY AS BAD AS WE COULD HAVE BEEN. SO IT'S ALREADY PROVEN ITSELF. AND THEN THE GOAL 
          [01:05:03]
IS TO HAVE THAT ON SITE AND HAVE IT PREPARED SO THAT WHEN CEDRON OPENS, WE MAY NOT BE READY WITH THE IF YOU RECALL TO THAT PRESENTATION, THEY'RE HOPING TO BE UP AND RUNNING BY MIDDLE OF 26. WE'RE HOPING THAT THE WASTEWATER PLANT IS RUNNING BY MIDDLE OF 26. IF THEY COME TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME, WE'LL BE FINE. WE'LL HAVE THE CAPACITY. IF WE DON'T, IF WE DON'T GET THAT WASTEWATER PLANT BUILT PRIOR TO CEDRON, WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME CAPACITY TO TAKE CARE OF THE WATER BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO SEND THEIR WATER TO US INITIALLY, AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE WHAT EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE IT TO BE. SO IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE TREATED IN OUR TREATMENT PLANT. THAT'S WHERE BEAVER WORKS COMES IN. THEY'RE ALREADY HELPING US ON THE POTABLE WATER, AND THEN THEY WILL BE AN INSURANCE POLICY FOR US. WHEN CEDRON GOES ONLINE AND ALSO ENHANCE OUR TREATMENT PROCESS, WHICH THEY'VE ALREADY PROVEN THAT THEY CAN DO. SO THEY HAVE A PRESENTATION. I'LL LET THEM TAKE THE MIC. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE RECORD, SANJIV FROM, BEAVER RICO WORKS. GOOD EVENING. I'M TED ASTOLFI. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD FOR BHEKA RICO WORKS. AND, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT SANJIV IS THE BRAIN, HE IS. 
          HE'S THE REASON THIS COMPANY EXISTS AND THIS PRODUCT EXISTS, I JUST WANTED TO GO THROUGH A FEW QUICK SLIDES FOR YOU, JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A FEEL, BECAUSE I'M SURE MANY OF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE. SOME OF YOU HAVE SEEN THE WATER TRAILER. IT'S VERY SIMILAR, BUT IT'S LARGER, SO WE STARTED THIS. WE, OH. OH, HERE WE GO. SO THIS IS THE UNIT THAT'S AT THE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT. YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT'S LOCATED AND THE PIPES COMING OUT OF IT. WE GOT THIS DONE ABOUT SIX MONTHS. WHEN WE FIRST STARTED HAVING THIS CONVERSATION WITH THE VILLAGE. 
          IT TOOK US SEVERAL MONTHS TO BUILD THE UNIT TO THE SPECIFICATIONS. WE NEEDED AND GET IT OUT THERE. IT'S BEEN UP AND RUNNING, FOR, IN FULL OPERATION FOR ABOUT 30 DAYS NOW, AND IS ACTUALLY PRODUCING SOME FABULOUS RESULTS. AND YOU HEARD, MR. NOLAN TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HELP WITH. WE TREAT ABOUT 30 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER PER MONTH. IT'S AN OXYGEN RICH WATER THAT IS GROUNDWATER RELEASE QUALITY SO THAT YOU CAN YOU'LL BE ABLE TO USE THAT AS A REUSE WATER, THAT WILL BE USED FOR IRRIGATION. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW REVENUE SOURCE BY SELLING IT TO PLACES LIKE TERRA LAGO THAT CAN USE IT FOR IRRIGATION. SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT REUSE WATER. THIS IS ACTUALLY A PICTURE OF THE WATER AFTER WE TREAT IT. THAT'S SEWAGE WATER. WE'RE DOING ABOUT 40,000 GALLONS A DAY THAT'S OF FRESH WATER. 
          THAT'S SAVED AS A RESULT OF THIS PROCESS. AND AS, AS, MR. NOLAN SAID JUST NOT USING POTABLE WATER ALONE. RIGHT AND THEN IT'S BEEN USED TO MAINTAIN THOSE CHLORINE LEVELS, SO BASICALLY, THIS IS JUST A QUICK UPDATE ON THE DRINKING WATER UNIT. IT'S BEEN UP AND RUNNING FOR ABOUT NINE MONTHS NOW. WE'VE PRODUCED 102 MILLION GALLONS OF DRINKING WATER THAT'S BEEN TREATED, WE HAD THOSE ORIGINAL ISSUES OF TASTE, ODOR AND COLOR THAT WE RESOLVED COMPLETELY WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THAT OPERATION THERE. AND WE'VE SEEN A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN THE TREATMENT PLANTS CHEMICAL USAGE AS WELL. SO JUST AN ADDED BENEFIT TO THIS PROCESS. SO I WANTED TO JUST GIVE YOU THAT QUICK UPDATE. I'VE GOT SOME OTHER SLIDES IN HERE THAT I'M NOT GOING TO BOTHER YOU WITH. IT'S KIND OF TECHNICAL, BUT THEY ARE PART OF THE PRESENTATION. FOR THE RECORD, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. AND SANJEEV IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS. NOT ME. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER PALMER. AND THIS IS GOING TO SOUND A LITTLE CRAZY, BUT I HEARD THIS FIRST. HELLO. HOW Y'ALL DOING? OKAY, I HEARD THIS SOME YEARS AGO THAT WHEN PEOPLE FLUSH THEIR MEDICATION IN THE. YOU KNOW, TOILET, THAT IT, I'M SORRY, SIR, IT STAYS IN THE WATER AND THEN GETS DISCHARGED OUT INTO OUR ENVIRONMENT. OH, IS WHAT HAPPENS TO HER. IT HAPPENS TO. YEAH YEA. WHAT DID YOU HEAR? WELL. OKAY I HEARD THAT, SO THEY WERE TELLING. THEY WERE A WHILE AGO. I HEARD THEM SAYING NOT TO DO THAT BECAUSE, LIKE YOU SAID, IT GET RELEASED INTO THE WATER AND PEOPLE DRINK THE WATER, AND THAT'S ISSUES. SO THEN THE SECOND THING, WE HAD A SITUATIO, AND THIS MAY BE FOR, WASTE LANDFILLS AND BROWARD COUNTY, BROWARD COUNTY, COUNTY PREDOMINANTLY BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD KENNEDY HOMES ACROSS THE STREET WAS A LANDFILL. MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE DIED OF CANCER. AND THEN THEY TRY. IT WAS A WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, IT WAS THEY HAD A PART OVER THERE FOR, MANPOWER WHERE PEOPLE GO, YOU KNOW, US 
          [01:10:04]
KIDS WOULD GO AND GET A JOB, LEARN A TRADE. RIGHT. SO IT WAS A BIG RISING BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO TURN IT INTO A GOLF COURSE. SO I'M LOOKING AT A LOT OF KIDS THAT'S BORN IN THIS COMMUNITY. 
          THEY THERE'S A LOT OF DISABILITIES, A LOT OF AUTISM. I KNOW ONE YOUNG LADY, ALL HER CHILDREN ARE AUTISTIC. SO, YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST THINKING WITH ALL THIS STUFF GOING INTO THE WATER, I'M GLAD Y'ALL CLEANING IT UP WITH THAT. DO YOU THINK THAT IS A DIRECT, PROBLEM WITH THE MEDICAL DISABILITIES? YEAH LET ME FIRST, SHARE MY EXPERIENCE. OKAY. FIRST OF ALL, I'M SEEING YOU FIRST TIME IN THE COUNCIL MEETING, WE ARE A LOCAL COMPANY. THE TECHNOLOGY IS BUILT LOCALLY, AND WE ARE WORKING WITH THE UTILITY DEPARTMENT TOGETHER. SO WE ARE HERE IN ALL 100% ON A DAILY BASIS, MAKING SURE THAT, TECHNOLOGY, THE TRAILERS ARE WORKING FANTASTIC AND DOING PERFORMANCE. WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. THAT'S NUMBER ONE. OKAY, YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THE MEDICINE COMING IN THE WASTEWATER. YES NOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF, STUDIES BEING DONE THAT THERE ARE HORMONAL DRUGS. THERE ARE PAINKILLERS, THERE ARE ANTIBIOTICS. ALL THOSE, DRUGS WHICH ARE DISCHARGED INTO YOUR, SEWAGE WATER. AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE EPA CINCINNATI FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS TO SEE THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS ANY EFFECT ON THAT. AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED AND WE HAVE SEEN ALMOST 99.9% DESTRUCTION OF ALL THOSE THEY CALL ENDOCRINE SUBSTRATES OR MEDICINE SUBSTRATES IN THE WASTEWATER. SO WE ARE ABLE TO DO THAT IN THIS WASTEWATER TRAILER. 
          WHAT WE OUGHT TO JUST SAW. SO WE ARE ELIMINATING ALL THOSE EFFECTIVENESS OF THOSE MEDICINES IN THE WASTEWATER. AND THIS TRAILER TECHNOLOGY IS ALSO ABLE TO DESTROY ANY TOXIC CHEMICALS. 
          OKAY, OKAY. AND DESTROY ANY OTHER ELEMENTS, BACTERIA, ANY VIRUSES WHICH ARE BEING PUMPED INTO SEWAGE WATER. WE ARE ABLE TO DESTROY THAT IN OUR TREATMENT PROCESS, AND WE ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE CHLORINE LEVEL. SAME LIKE YOUR SWIMMING POOL WATER. SO IT'S ACTUALLY THE QUALITY WATER WE ARE MONITORING ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. AND IT'S A VERY GOOD QUALITY WATER. WE HAVE BEEN PUT BACK INTO THE SYSTEM, INTO THEIR, WASTEWATER PLANT. THAT'S NUMBER ONE. SECOND QUESTION YOU ASK ABOUT, CANCER RELATED ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE TOXIC CHEMICALS. YES. THERE ARE A LOT OF PLACES PEOPLE EARLIER NOT KNOWING THAT WHATEVER THE CHEMICALS AND ELEMENTS GONE INTO THE, AQUIFER AND THEN PEOPLE CONSUME THAT WATER. AND I HAVE SEEN THAT FIRSTHAND. WHEN I WAS WORKING IN AN OIL FIELD, AND ESPECIALLY IN TEXAS, PEOPLE DO HAVE CANCER ISSUES AND MEDICAL ISSUES BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSUMING SOME TOXIC CHEMICALS. AND THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE COME UP WITH THIS UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY, WHICH IS VERY POWERFUL TO GO AFTER THESE TOXIC ELEMENTS AND DESTROYED IT COMPLETELY. SO THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY CARCINOGENIC EFFECT ON THE PEOPLE. SO THAT IS WHY WE GOT THE OPPORTUNITY WITH YOUR LEADERSHIP TO OFFER THAT TECHNOLOGY FOR DRINKING WATER APPLICATION. AND WE ARE BEING ALSO COMMUNICATING WITH THE EPA TO, CONFIRM THAT PERFORMANCE. 
          AND YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE QUALITY WATER GOING TO DRINKING WATER QUALITY GOING TO THE PEOPLE ARE ENORMOUSLY IMPROVED AND SAME, SAME TECHNOLOGY, OF COURSE, IN A BIGGER AND BETTER FLOW RATE PERFORMANCE, WE ARE OFFERING FOR SEWAGE WATER, WHICH HAS BEEN RUNNING SINCE JUNE LAST MONTH. AND IT'S BEEN PHENOMENAL TO, GET THE QUALITY WORK. OKAY, I HOPE I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. 
          YES SIR. YOU DID. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MAYOR, CAN I JUMP IN? ABSOLUTELY. PLEASE, SIR. COUNCIL MEMBER. AND JUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC AND COUNCIL MEMBER OF COURSE, AS AS SAID, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE ISSUES AROUND THE COUNTRY, VARIOUS THINGS AND SO ON. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY INDICATION FROM ANY TESTING WITH REGARD TO INDIAN TOWN WATER SYSTEM THAT THAT THERE WOULD BE ANY SORT OF CONNECTION OR CAUSE OR EFFECT OR ANYTHING LIKE THIS. SO I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT PIECE OUT THERE WITH REGARD TO INDIAN TOWN, THERE, THERE ARE ISSUES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, YOU KNOW, IN DIFFERENT THINGS AND SO ON. BUT I JUST WANTED TO ASSURE PEOPLE THERE'S, ANYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN, NO TESTING THAT INDICATES THAT HERE. THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. AND BECAUSE WE HAVE A RESIDENTS HERE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN HERE PRIOR TO OTHER PRESENTATIONS, JUST SO THAT YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW HOW WAS THIS? HOW WAS THE WATER TREATED? I KNOW THAT BEFORE, HAVING THIS, WE USED TO TREAT IT WITH AMMONIA AND CHLORINE. CORRECT? YES. AND NOW IT'S NOT DONE, I WENT ON A TOUR AND I REALLY LIKED IT. 
          [01:15:01]
THANK YOU TO PATRICK. AND, AND PRIOR TO USING THE BEAVER WORKS TRAILER, WE'RE USING WHAT THEY CALL CHLORAMINES. IT'S A MIXTURE OF AMMONIA AND CHLORINE. AND THE REASON YOU AND TYPICALLY YOU DISINFECT WITH CHLORINE. WE STILL DO THAT. BUT AS, EITHER SANJEEV OR TED SAID EARLIER, WE'RE USING A LOT LESS CHLORINE THAN WE USED TO BECAUSE THE WATER IS CLEANER. SO THE CHLORINE ISN'T WHAT WE CALL TAKEN UP BY THE, WHAT'S IN THE WATER? SO THEIR PROCESS HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO USE LESS CHLORINE. THE REASON FOR THE CHLORAMINES IS SO THAT YOU DON'T CREATE TRIHALOMETHANES. THEY CALL THEM VMS. THAT IS CANCER CAUSING. IT'S FROM A REACTION FROM THE CHLORINE AND THE ORGANICS THAT ARE IN YOUR WATER, WHICH THERE ARE A LOT OF ORGANICS IN ALL OF FLORIDA AND ALL OF THE WATER. SO THAT'S WHY CHLORAMINES. BUT CHLORAMINES IS THE CHEAPEST WAY TO TREAT THE WATER FOR THE VMS. UNFORTUNATELY, IT GIVES YOU THAT YELLOW COLOR THAT YOU HAD HERE WHEN WE GOT WHEN I GOT HERE. THAT'S WHY THE WATER WAS YELLOW. 
          IT WAS FROM THE AMMONIA. AND IF YOU OVER TREAT IT WITH THE AMMONIA IT GETS DARKER. BUT IT INHIBITS THE DISINFECTION. SO YOUR WATER ISN'T AS SAFE AS IT COULD BE WITHOUT THE CHLORAMINE. 
          WHERE I CAME FROM, WE DIDN'T USE CHLORAMINES. I'D NEVER HEARD OF IT TILL I GOT HERE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. AND WE AND I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAD IN MY LAST MUNICIPALITY THAT I WORKED AT. SO MY GOAL WAS TO GET AWAY FROM THE AMMONIA AND TREAT THE WATER WITHOUT IT, BUT STILL NOT HAVE THE VMS IN THE WATER. WHEN I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO SANJEEV AND TED ABOUT THEIR TECHNOLOGY, THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET RID OF THE AMMONIA AND TREAT THE WATER SAFER AND ELIMINATE THE AMMONIA, ELIMINATE THE COLOR AND ELIMINATE HOPEFULLY THE VMS, SO THEIR TREATMENT HAS ENHANCED OUR WATER. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT GLASS, EVERY MEETING, THAT'S THE WATER THAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT EVERY DAY. SO THAT GLASS IS EMPTY RIGHT NOW. IT'S REALLY GOOD WATER. SO WE ARE STILL TREATING WITH CHLORINE BECAUSE CHLORINE IS THE KEY TO BACTERIA. THAT'S HOW YOU DISINFECT THE WATER AND KEEP IT SAFE. THE WATER HAS ALWAYS BEEN SAFE, BUT NOW THE QUALITY IS BETTER. AND I WOULD SAY THAT IT IS SAFER BECAUSE THE CHLORINE RESIDUAL IS HOLDING FARTHER OUT IN OUR SYSTEM. WE'RE LUCKY WE'RE A SMALL SYSTEM. IF WE WERE A BIGGER SYSTEM, WE COULDN'T GET AWAY FROM THE CAR MEADS, BUT WE'RE A SMALL SYSTEM, SO WE COULD. AND THE REASON WE WERE ABLE TO IS BECAUSE OF THEIR TECHNOLOGY. AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE LESS OF A ODOR, A BETTER TASTE, AND LESS OF A COLOR. YES, BUT ADDITIONALLY TO THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S RUN THROUGH LIKE A MACHINE OF OXYGEN. SO IT'S COOL TO SEE A PIECE THAT MR. SANJAY INVENTED BEING DONE IN THE VILLAGE OF UNIONTOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME. SO, THAT AND IMPROVING OUR WATER BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS, YOU KNOW, BEFORE THEY WOULD TALK ABOUT HOW THEIR ROOMS ARE THERE, TOILETS AND ALL THAT WOULD GET DAMAGED. SO, I JUST WANTED TO THANK, THE STAFF, MR. PAT, SANJAY AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT HAS BEEN IN, IN IMPLEMENTING PARTS OF THAT. YEAH I HAVE I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. IT'S AFTER BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. 
          YOU KNOW, EACH MEETING I HAVE THIS GLASS AND BY THE END OF THE MEETING, IT'S I'VE, I'VE DRUNK THE WHOLE THING BECAUSE IT IS VERY GOOD TASTING WATER. AND IT JUST KIND OF DAWNED ON ME, YOU KNOW, THERE'S COMPETITIONS FOR EVERYTHING AND SOME CITIES HAVE IT TOUTED ON THEIR LITTLE WELCOME TO WHEREVER, YOU KNOW, VOTED THE BEST TASTING WATER IN THE. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY COMPETITIONS WE COULD ENTER? BECAUSE I THINK WE'D WIN A FEW. OKAY GOOD, GOOD. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT THAT I THINK THAT WOULD BE IT. THAT'D BE GREAT. YEAH THAT THAT WOULD BE GOOD. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IS THERE ANY, PUBLIC COMMENTS? NO MADAM MAYOR. OKAY DO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THIS? I MOVE THAT MOTION, APPROVE THE LEASE WITH BEAVER. BEAVER ECHO WORKS LLC. 
          OKAY. MOTION HAS BEEN MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER PALMER, AND I'LL SECOND, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, NOTHING FROM THE PUBLIC. ALL IN FAVOR. A HIGH PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU GUYS. THANK YOU. GENTLEMEN THANK YOU. MOVING ON 
          [7.  RESOLUTION NO.

TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. YES. THANK YOU MAYOR. ITEM SEVEN, A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL, THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN, FLORIDA, ESTABLISHING A PROPOSED MILLAGE 
          [01:20:03]
RATE FOR THE LEVY OF AD VALOREM TAXES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024 2025, SPECIFYING THE COMPUTED ROLLBACK RATE, PROVIDING FOR THE DATE, TIME, AND PLACE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE TENTATIVE MILLAGE RATE AND TENTATIVE BUDGET, AND TO ADOPT A FINAL MILLAGE RATE AND FINAL BUDGET. PROVIDING FOR TRANSMITTAL TO THE MARTIN COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER. PROVIDING FOR ADVERTISEMENT OF THE FINAL HEARING TO ADOPT A FINAL MILLAGE RATE AND FINAL BUDGET. PROVIDING FOR RECITALS AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THANK YOU. YES. SO IT'S JUST GOING TO COME DOWN TO WHAT THE COUNCIL, IS WANTING TO DO WITH THAT MILLAGE RATE. AND THEN MR. FLORIO WILL CALCULATE THE PERCENT OF INCREASE OVER THE ROLLBACK RATE, WHICH IS REFLECTED IN THE, RESOLUTION AS WELL. OKAY. AND I KNOW WE HAVE DISCUSSED THE, PROPOSED OR SUGGESTED 1.825 MILLS. YES, MA'AM. SO IS THAT THE COUNCIL? DO WE HAVE ANY MORE DISCUSSION? DO WE WANT TO GO WITH THAT? DO WE WANT TO GO HIGHER? WE WANT TO GO LOWER. WHAT'S THE COUNCIL THOUGHT? DO I HAVE A MOTION? MADAM MAYOR, I MOVE THAT WE, ACCEPT THE 1.825 MILLAGE RATE. OKAY. IS THERE COUNCIL MEMBER DEPAULO. DID I HEAR YOU? SECOND THAT? YEAH. THAT'S FINE. OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? AND MAYOR, JUST TO PUT IT ON THE RECORD FOR. YES, PLEASE. CLERK. SO THE MOTION WOULD BE TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION WITH THE, WITH THE MILLAGE RATE STATED AS YOU, AS COUNCIL MEMBER STATED AND WITH DIRECTION TO STAFF TO INCLUDE THE PERCENTAGE INCREASE OVER THE ROLLBACK RATE. IT'S ANOTHER BLANK THAT JUST NEEDS TO BE CALCULATED. OKAY. 
          FOR THAT RESOLUTION, HE HAD, 17.42%. SO I DON'T NEED TO REDO THAT. YOU DO NOT. NO. I WAS JUST KIND OF MADAM CLERK, I'M SURE YOU HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION FOR THE CLERK. I DO. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO WE HAVE A MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND. IS THERE ANY. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ I HAD A QUESTION. SO THE ROLLBACK RATE. CAN YOU ENLIGHTEN ME IN REGARDS TO THAT? THE ROLLBACK RATE IS THE RATE THAT YOU WOULD LEVY TO, RECEIVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TAXES AS YOU DID THE PRIOR YEAR IN THE YEARS WHEN YOUR TAX BASE IS GOING UP LIKE YOURS DID THIS YEAR, THAT ROLLBACK RATE WILL BE LOWER THAN WHAT THE MILLAGE RATE CURRENTLY IS TODAY. SO THE ROLLBACK RATE WAS 1.5554. AND SO THE STATE THE WAY YOU KNOW, ESSENTIALLY THEY FORCE YOU TO USE THAT WHEN YOU ADOPT YOUR MILLAGE AND WHEN YOU ADVERTISE AND YOU KNOW AND GO BACK. SO AGAIN THAT RATE WAS LOW WAS NOT INCREASED, WAS A DECREASE WHEN YOUR TAX BASE WENT DOWN AND HAD IT BEEN, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN AT THAT 1.825 OR PROBABLY LESS THAN THAT, BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN CAPTURING YOUR AD VALOREM TAXES EVERY YEAR. OKAY. AND THEN ALSO, JUST SO THAT WE CAN, HAVE IT IN THE RECORD, SO WE APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE HAVE OUR NEXT BUDGETS OR OUR NEXT HEARINGS, WE CAN LOWER THAT RATE. YES MA'AM, FOR FUTURE RESIDENTS THAT HAVE CONCERNS, IF WE CAN LOWER OR NOT. SO WE'RE IMPOSING. WE'RE NOT IMPOSING. WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE SETTING SO THAT WE CAN WORK BETWEEN THAT, THAT THE CURRENT NUMBER, THE ROLLBACK RATE TO WHAT WE'RE SETTING IT TO. WELL ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN. YES. YEAH. OKAY. ANY ANYWHERE FROM THIS NUMBER THAT YOU'LL BE SETTING DOWN. OKAY. AND SO WHEN SHOULD WE EXPECT THE SETTING OF THE OFFICIAL RATE. BE THOSE. SO FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT DO HAVE THE CONCERNS AND DO HAVE THE QUESTIONS SO THAT THEY CAN START, YOU KNOW, LOOKING BECAUSE I'VE, I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF QUESTIONS. PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED NOW. AND SO IT'S LIKE I, I'VE BEEN I'VE BEEN SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S LIKE THIS IS WHY I'VE BEEN TELLING EVERYONE THAT I, WE'RE HERE TO EDUCATE AS A COUNCIL MEMBER. I FEEL ME PERSONALLY, I'M HERE TO EDUCATE MY COMMUNITY IN REGARDS OF WHAT WE DO HERE AND WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. AND SO I, I, I WANT THE AUDIENCE, THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE HEARING. AND THAT WILL BE BACK GOING BACK ON THIS VIDEO SO THAT THEY CAN KNOW, OKAY, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS DURING EVERY TAX SEASON, BECAUSE THIS DOESN'T ONLY HAPPEN TODAY, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT YEAR WHEN WE IMPOSE, 
          [01:25:05]
WHEN WE HAVE THE NEXT BUDGET, WORKSHOP. SO I SO IF YOU CAN GIVE US A FEW LIKE WHAT'S THE PROCESS WITHIN THIS. BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HAD YOU KNOW, THEY'VE NEVER THIS IS NEW TO THEM. THEY'VE THEY'VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BEING INFORMED. AND NOW THEY'RE, THEY WANT TO BE INFORMED. AND SO THEY WANT TO KNOW, OKAY, WHAT HAPPENS THROUGHOUT THIS, THIS PROCESS. 
          THANK YOU. MAYOR, IF IT'S ALL RIGHT. YES, SIR. JUST VERY BRIEFLY, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC, THE FORMAL ADOPTION OF FIRST, A TENTATIVE MILLAGE RATE AND THEN THE FINAL MILLAGE RATE WILL BE AT YOUR FIRST AND SECOND BUDGET HEARINGS IN SEPTEMBER. AT YOUR FIRST AND SECOND MEETINGS, WHAT WILL BE BEFORE THE VILLAGE COUNCIL AT THAT TIME? AT THE FIRST COUNCIL MEETING OR AT THE BUDGET HEARING HELD ON THE SAME DAY AS THEIR FIRST BUDGET OR THEIR FIRST COUNCIL MEETING IN SEPTEMBER, WILL BE THE TENTATIVE BUDGET AND TENTATIVE MILLAGE. AND THEN THERE WILL BE A SECOND ROUND OF THAT FOR THE FINAL BUDGET AND FINAL MILLAGE AT A BUDGET HEARING ON THE SAME DAY AS THE SECOND MEETING IN SEPTEMBER. SO I HOPE THAT HELPS. AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING WHAT WE DID KIND OF LIKE THIS EVENING WHERE WE WOULD, CONVENE AT 530 TO HAVE THAT, BECAUSE YOU CAN DO ANYTIME AFTER 505 TO HAVE THAT FIRST PUBLIC HEARING IN SEPTEMBER, AND THAT GETS NOTICED WHEN THE TRIM TAX NOTICES GO OUT. NOT ONLY DOES IT SAY WHAT THE TAX RATE, PROPOSED TAX RATE IS, BUT IT ALSO SAYS WHEN IT SAYS WHEN THOSE MEETINGS ARE. AND THAT'S PROBABLY THE FIRST NOTICE, IF YOU WILL, TO THE PUBLIC THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A HEARING. AND IF THEY WANT TO COME, THEY'RE MORE IT'S OPEN. THEY'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO DO THAT. AND ACTUALLY, JUST JUST TO CLARIFY, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. JUST TO CLARIFY IT, IN THE RESOLUTION, AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, THE, THE BUDGET AND MILLAGE HEARINGS ARE SET FOR NOTICE FOR 6 P.M. OH, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. 610. 
          YEAH WE HAVE IT IN. NO, THAT'S IN THE RESOLUTION RIGHT NOW. I WAS LOOKING FOR IT, BUT I COULDN'T I DIDN'T HAVE THE IT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE, IT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SENTENCES OF THE. SO IT'LL BE 6:00 BUT WE'LL NOTICE IT AND WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF IT. AND IN THE, IN THE TAX, THE TAX BILL, THEY ACTUALLY THEY LIST THE CURRENT, THE PROPOSED. 
          AND SO AND IF YOU DIDN'T MAKE ANY CHANGES AND THE OFFICIAL AFTER SO WHEN THEY GET THEIR TAX NOTICES AND THE END OF OCTOBER, BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER, THEY SEE THE DIFFERENCES OR THE CHANGES, THEY'LL ACTUALLY GET THAT BY THE END OF AUGUST. I THINK SHE MAILS THEM OUT BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY ASKING US FOR THAT INFORMATION. SO IT'LL GET MAILED OUT IN AUGUST SO THAT INDIVIDUALS HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO GET TO THOSE PUBLIC HEARINGS. YEAH, THE FIRST STATUTORY NOTICE FOR THE FIRST HEARING GOES OUT ON THE ON THE FROM THE PROPERTY, APPRAISER, ON THE NOTICES THAT ARE SENT OUT IN AUGUST. YEAH. SO THOSE NOTICES ARE THE ONE THAT SAYS THIS IS NOT A BILL. YEAH, YEAH. AND THEN THE OFFICIAL BILL GETS SENT OUT LIKE IN OCTOBER OR. YES, THEY WAIT TILL ALL THE FINAL EVALUATIONS AND THEN THEY SEND OUT THOSE FINAL BILLS. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY NO MORE QUESTIONS. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO, MADAM MAYOR, WE HAVE A MOTION. IT'S BEEN SECONDED. AND A FINE POINT HAS BEEN PUT TO THEM. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE I PASSED UNANIMOUSLY, GOING ON TO OUR 
          [8.  Approval of Interlocal Agreement between the Martin County School Board and the Village of Indiantown for Collection of School Impact Fees
]
LAST ITEM, ITEM NUMBER EIGHT. THIS WILL BE, HANDLING THIS ONE, THIS IS, JUST A SMALL ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM, WE THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING IT ON CONSENT, BUT I FIGURED JUST TO KEEP, COUNSEL IN THE PUBLIC IN THE LOOP ON THIS, THIS IS FOR THE APPROVAL OF AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD AND THE VILLAGE FOR THE COLLECTION OF SCHOOL IMPACT FEES. IF YOU RECALL, A NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO, ALMOST A YEAR AGO. WELL, THE VILLAGE, ENTERED INTO AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY FOR THE COLLECTION OF, A WHOLE SET OF COUNTY IMPACT FEES. 
          THERE WERE A LOT OF OTHER ISSUES BOUNCING AROUND IN THAT ONE. AS YOU WILL RECALL, PRIMARILY RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION. COUNTY TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES, WHICH TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET ALL THAT SORTED OUT. THIS ONE IS INFINITELY SIMPLER. WHAT? THIS IS THE ALL THE OTHER COUNTY IMPACT FEES WERE SET FORTH IN THAT INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT, BUT NOT THE SCHOOL IMPACT FEES. 
          TECHNICALLY, A SCHOOL IMPACT FEE IS A COUNTY IMPACT FEE, BUT THE WAY IT WORKS IN MARTIN COUNTY IS THE MONEY. THE THAT IMPACT FEE GETS PAID OVER DIRECTLY TO THE SCHOOL BOARD. SO WE NEED A SEPARATE, COLLECTION AGREEMENT WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD FOR THE COLLECTION OF THE SCHOOL IMPACT FEE, THIS IS THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT THAT WOULD ACCOMPLISH THAT. IT TRACKS THE EXACT SAME 
          [01:30:06]
LANGUAGE THAT THEY HAVE WITH THE CITY OF STUART. WE GET TO THE VILLAGE, GETS TO RETAIN 3% OF THE COLLECTED, FEES AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE FEE FOR, DOING THAT SERVICE. AND IT ACTUALLY HELPS STREAMLINE, MATTERS FOR DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GO SEARCHING OUT THE SCHOOL BOARD TO PAY THEIR SCHOOL IMPACT FEES WHEN THEY'RE DOING RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, WHICH ADDS TO THEIR TIME AND HEADACHE AND SLOWING PERMITTING DOWN. AND ALL OF THIS, IT'S, CONCENTRATING FOR MORE ONE STOP SHOPPING HERE IN THE VILLAGE. SO WITH THAT, STAFF WOULD, RECOMMEND THE APPROVAL OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR COLLECTION OF SCHOOL IMPACT FEES WITH THE MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD. I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. YES, COUNCIL MEMBER PALMER. 
          OKAY, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE COLLECTION OF IMPACT FEES. WE GET 3% OF THAT, OR WE GIVE 3%. NO, WE GET TO, WE GET TO WE COLLECT IN AN IMPACT FEE. WE GET TO KEEP 3% OF WHAT WE COLLECTED AS A, AS A FEE TO US FOR THE WORK OF HAVING ONE OF OUR STAFF PER STAFF, PEOPLE DEAL WITH IT. OKAY, I GOT YOU. AND THIS IT'S JUST TO OFFSET OUR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS FOR HANDLING IT, COLLECTING IT, PUTTING INTO OUR BANK ACCOUNTS, ACCOUNTING FOR IT, AND THEN PERIODICALLY SENDING CHECKS OVER TO THE SCHOOL BOARD. AND IT'S FOR DEVELOPMENT. YES, MA'AM. SO THIS IS, THIS IS FOR THE COLLECTION OF AN IMPACT FEE. IMPACT FEES ARE IMPOSED ONLY ON NEW DEVELOPMENT. OKAY. SO THIS THIS DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH SOME FEE THAT WOULD BE COLLECTED FROM EXISTING FOLKS WITHIN THE VILLAGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THIS. THIS WOULD BE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A IN THIS INSTANCE FOR A SCHOOL IMPACT FEE. NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. OKAY. AND WHAT THIS IMPACT FEE DOES, THAT'S BEEN IMPOSED BY THE COUNTY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD IS TO, TO FOR DEVELOPMENT TO DEFRAY THE CAPITAL COSTS AND IMPACTS OF NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, I.E. NEW CAPITAL BURDENS ON THE SCHOOL SYSTEM TO HAVE TO HAVE, NEW BUILDINGS OR, YOU KNOW, OR THEIR FAIR SHARE OF NEW BUILDINGS OF OTHER NEW CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND SO ON. SO THAT'S WHAT THAT FEES FOR. IT'S NOT ON, YOU KNOW, ANY EXISTING RESIDENT JUST FOR BEING HERE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT'S NEW DEVELOPMENT AND WE'RE NOT IMPOSING IT. WE'RE JUST SAYING WE'RE GOING TO COLLECT IT TO MAKE THINGS NICE AND EASY SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO WANDERING OVER THE STUART TO TRY TO PAY A BILL BEFORE THEY CAN GET A BUILDING PERMIT. GOTCHA. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YEAH, WE'RE A PASS THROUGH AND WE'RE GETTING OUR 3% IN ORDER TO PASS IT ON THROUGH. GOTCHA, YES. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. YES. AND IS THIS SOMETHING? DO WE KNOW HOW MUCH WE'RE GOING TO COLLECT IN THAT 3% IN APPROXIMATE? NOT NOT REALLY. WE COULD WE COULD SIT DOWN. I COULD SIT DOWN AND DO THAT. WHAT STARTED THIS CONVERSATION IS WE HAD THREE BUILDING PERMITS OR, ISSUED. AND AT THAT TIME WHEN WE DID THE CALCULATION, THE INDIVIDUAL DID IT DIDN'T REALIZE THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS NOT INCLUDED. AND WHEN WE REALIZED THAT, THAT'S WHEN WE REACHED OUT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND GOT THE ATTORNEYS INVOLVED SO THAT WE COULD HAVE THAT AGREEMENT IN PLACE, THOSE THREE RESIDENCES, THEIR RESIDENTIAL UNITS FROM THE 3%, IT WAS IT WAS MINIMAL. IT WAS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DON'T COUNT ON THIS 3% BEING SOME GREAT REVENUE SOURCE, BUT PURPOSE IS TO JUST DEFRAY THE. 
          YEAH, BUT THE MARGINAL COST OF STAFF, ANY MONEY TO HELP STREAMLINE. WELL, WELL FIRST IT HELPS STREAMLINE WHAT IS COMING DOWN THE PIPE IN REGARDS OF DEVELOPMENT. TWO IT HELPS US, CUT THE MIDDLE PERSON OUT AND INSTEAD OF HAVING HAVE STAFF SPEND TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ABOUT THE WHOLE CALCULATION AND WHERE TO SEND PEOPLE. AND THIRD, WELL, THIS THEY'LL BE PAYING FOR, YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOL BOARD WILL BE PAYING US THE 3% FOR, YOU KNOW, THE COST THAT IT'S GOING TO COST US. SO, RIGHT. PLUS IT IT DEFERS THE NEED, AS WAS MENTIONED, FOR THE INDIVIDUAL THAT'S APPLYING FOR THAT PERMIT TO COME HERE, PAY A PORTION HERE FOR THE COUNTY AND THEN DRIVE TO THE TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND PAY THEIR PORTION. AND THEN WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN PLACE TO KNOW WHEN THAT'S DONE, SO THAT WE CAN ISSUE THAT PERMIT, AND IT MAKES IT LITERALLY EASIER FOR EVERY PART OF THE PROCESS. AND DOES THIS ALSO, IS THE SCHOOL IMPACT FEE IMPOSED ON BUSINESSES? NO, IT'S IMPOSED RESIDENTIAL. YEAH. IT'S AS OPPOSED TO A LOT OF OTHER IMPACT FEES. A LOT OF OTHER IMPACT FEES ARE, ARE IMPOSED ON RESIDENTIAL AND 
          [01:35:03]
COMMERCIAL WITH REGARDS TO SCHOOL IMPACT FEES. IT'S RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE UNDER THE CASE LAW AND OTHERWISE IT'S HUMAN BEINGS LIVING IN A PLACE THAT LEADS TO KIDS GOING INTO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. OKAY, IT'S GOOD TO KNOW BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT BUSINESSES ALSO PAID FOR IT. SO NOT ON SCHOOL IMPACT FEES. THEY DO ON SOME OTHERS. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO DO WE HAVE A, MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT? I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE MOTION, THAT WE ACCEPT THE APPROVAL OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT. AND I'LL SECOND. WAIT A MINUTE. I HEARD I HEARD COUNCIL MEMBER DEPAULO COMING IN THERE. SO HE MADE THE MOTION. WHO MADE THE SECOND COUNCIL MEMBER? HERNANDEZ MADE THE SECOND. WE HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ANY PUBLIC DISCUSSION? NO, MADAM MAYOR, ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. FAR AS I 
          [ANNOUNCEMENTS]
CAN TELL. THAT BRINGS US TO THE END OF THE EVENING. DO WE HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS? YES, MA'AM. I HAVE THREE ANNOUNCEMENTS, THE FIRST ONE IS THE MONTHLY FOOD DRIVE WILL BE HELD ON AUGUST 8TH.
