Florida Community Health Center Presentation

[00:05:01]

OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING THAT THE THAT WE'LL NEED TO PARTNER WITH, BOTH FROM THE VILLAGE COUNCIL PERSPECTIVE AS WELL AS THE HEALTH CARE PERSPECTIVE, IS HOW DO WE ADDRESS THIS CHALLENGE IN A WAY THAT IS GOING TO CREATE THE BEST CARE AND SAFETY FOR THE RESIDENTS WHO ARE PREGNANT AND THEN WILL HAVE TO DELIVER? AND AGAIN, I DIDN'T COME WITH THAT AS THE PRIMARY AGENDA ITEM. BUT I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THAT IS A PRESSING CHALLENGE. AND TO TALK WITH YOU AGAIN ABOUT THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE FOR INDIAN TOWN, HOW WE CAN BE A PART OF THAT.

AND NOW, WITH RECENT CHANGES, HOW WE BEGIN TO WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGE SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO HOW WE'LL KEEP WOMEN AND BABIES SAFER IN IN INDIAN TOWN AND MARTIN COUNTY IN THE IN THE DAYS TO COME. SO THOSE ARE COMMENTS THAT I HAVE. I'M GLAD TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE, ALONG WITH DOCTOR TUKEL AND TRACY, WHO ARE KIND OF SHY, AND DOCTOR TUKEL. I HAD TO DRAG HER UP, BUT SHE'LL SHE'LL COME UP CLOSER AND WE'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. DOCTOR, IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. I ASKED YOU THIS QUESTION PREVIOUSLY. NOW, THAT INDIAN TOWN IS GROWING, AND WE'RE HAVING BUSINESSES THAT ARE GOING TO BE RUNNING 24 OVER SEVEN. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN THE WORKS FOR BEING AVAILABLE OR OPEN OR EVEN THE SPORTS TEAM? SO IF THEY'RE PLAYING OUTSIDE AND THEY GET HURT, CAN THEY COME TO THE CLINIC AFTER HOURS OR WHAT WILL BE THE HOURS? AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE'VE ACTUALLY PURSUED AND SUBMITTED GRANT FUNDING TO HELP SUPPORT A POTENTIAL EXTENSION OF HOURS, SO THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO BE OPEN LATER AT NIGHTS OR ON THE WEEKENDS. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK YET IN TERMS OF WHETHER OR NOT THAT FUNDING HAS BEEN APPROVED, BUT THAT WOULD BE A LARGE PART OF WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE ABLE TO EXTEND THOSE SERVICES. FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT AWARE, WE ARE A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER, WHICH MEANS THAT OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE COST EFFECTIVE, ACCESSIBLE CARE TO ALL PERSONS IN THE COMMUNITY. SO WHETHER A PERSON HAS INSURANCE OR NOT, WHETHER THEY HAVE FUNDS OR NOT, THEY'RE WELCOME. AND WE MAKE SURE THAT THEY RECEIVE THE HIGHEST QUALITY CARE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE. BUT OF COURSE, THAT MEANS THAT THERE ARE SOME CONSTRAINTS. WE ARE ESSENTIALLY WITH GRANT FUNDING, SUBSIDIZING THE CARE THAT WE PROVIDE TO OUR PATIENTS WHO DON'T HAVE INSURANCE OR RESOURCES, SO THAT UTILIZING THEIR HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND THEIR FAMILY SIZE, WE CAN PROVIDE SIGNIFICANTLY DISCOUNTED SERVICES. SO SOMEONE COULD SEE DOCTOR TUKEL AT OUR LOCATION AND ALSO RECEIVE SOME LABS HAVE A NUMBER OF LABS DRAWN, OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED, AND THEY MIGHT ONLY BE CHARGED $25. SO WHEN WE'RE THINKING AND WE DON'T TURN ANYONE AWAY FOR AN INABILITY TO PAY. SO WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE POPULATION OF INDIAN TOWN AND THE MIX OF WHEN WE SAY THE MIX, I MEAN INDIVIDUALS WHO MIGHT HAVE INSURANCE OR MIGHT NOT HAVE RESOURCES, I SHARE THAT INFORMATION TO HELP THE COUNCIL AND ATTENDEES UNDERSTAND WHY IT MATTERS THAT WE WOULD HAVE SUPPORT IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE, PROVIDE THOSE EXTENDED HOURS, AND AGAIN, ALSO MAKING SURE THAT THE CARE REMAINS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL PEOPLE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE INSURANCE OR OTHER RESOURCES. OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S THAT'S TRUE. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. AND DOCTOR TUKEL IS MY DOCTOR. YOU DON'T REMEMBER ME? I DON'T HAVE THE CURLS. YEAH. WHAT WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT URGENT CARE? URGENT CARE? ACCESSIBILITY FOR US IS PRIMARY. IS THE PRIMARY GOAL? I THINK URGENT CARE IS BENEFICIAL, BUT IT ALSO HAS ITS DRAWBACKS. AND BY THAT I MEAN THE HIGHER ACUITY AN ENTITY HAS. AND BY THAT I MEAN IF YOU'RE TALKING URGENT CARE OR ER, THEN THE MORE EXPENSIVE THOSE SERVICES, THOSE SERVICES ARE GOING TO BE, THE MORE EXPENSIVE IS GOING TO BE TO THE, THE RECIPIENT. AND SO A PART OF US BEING A PRIMARY CARE. AND THE ADVANTAGE OF THAT IS, IS THAT OUR COSTS ARE GOING TO BE LOWER AND THE CHARGES ARE GOING TO BE LOWER. AND AGAIN, AS WE THINK ABOUT WHAT IS THE POPULATION AND THE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO BE SERVED, AND WILL THEY BE ABLE TO ACCESS WHATEVER SERVICES ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO THEM WITHOUT FEAR OF EITHER NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS THAT SERVICE BECAUSE OF THE COST, OR ONCE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE SERVICE BECAUSE OF THE NEED, WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM FINANCIALLY AS A RESULT OF THAT? THOSE ARE. SO WHILE I LOVE THE ACCESS POTENTIALLY OF AN URGENT CARE, I ALSO HAVE TO BALANCE

[00:10:02]

THAT HAS THAT AGREEMENT HAS BEEN ENDED, AND WE'VE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO ACCEPT THEM AT TRADITION. SO THAT IS WHY I TALK ABOUT THE NEED TO PARTNER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN. WHERE CAN THEY GO IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SEND THEM TO TRADITION? AND SO WE'RE REACHING OUT TO JUPITER TO SEE WE HAVE NO PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP WITH JUPITER MEDICAL CENTER. IS THAT A POSSIBILITY? I'M NOT SURE. WE'RE ALSO HAVING DISCUSSIONS WITH HOSPITALS IN SAINT LUCIE COUNTY, BUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME, OUR PATIENTS WHO HAVE TO BE INDUCED THAT ARE FROM INDIANTOWN HAVE TO GO TO LONGWOOD. OH, WOW. WHAT ABOUT THERE'S NOTHING AVAILABLE IN OKEECHOBEE. NO, NO. OKEECHOBEE DOES NO PRENATAL NO, NO OBSTETRICAL SERVICES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ABSOLUTELY. I HAVE A COMMENT.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO FOR OUR RESIDENTS, THE MOMMY TO BE'S. I MEAN, ARE THEY BEING, YOU KNOW, NOTIFIED HEY, YOU HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF NOT EVEN DELIVERING HERE IN MARTIN COUNTY ANYMORE. I MEAN, ARE THEY BEING EDUCATED? HEY, YOU. YOUR CLOSEST ONE IS FORT PIERCE, WHICH IS 45 MINUTES FROM HERE. YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU KNOW, WITH CLEVELAND SHUTTING DOWN, YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO HURT OUR MOM, OUR MOMMIES, YOU KNOW? HOW ARE THEY GOING TO. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE IN ACTIVE LABOR. AND THERE YOU ARE. YOU HAVE THE BABY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND YOU KNOW, MOMMY TO BE'S YOU DON'T. YOU GO WITH THE FLOW. YOU'RE LIKE, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, OKAY, ESPECIALLY FIRST TIME MOMMIES. I REMEMBER WHEN I TOLD MY SISTER I WAS LIKE, MY BABY'S COMING, LET'S GO. YOU KNOW, I WAS STILL DRIVING, BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE CONTRACTIONS CAME, I PARKED MY CAR AND I'M LIKE, OKAY, TIME TO GO. BUT, YOU KNOW, ARE WE EDUCATING THEM TO LET THEM KNOW? OKAY, GUYS, PLAN AHEAD OF TIME OR RIGHT NOW? BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENED SO RECENTLY AND WE JUST RECEIVED NOTICE SO RECENTLY, WHAT WE REALLY HAVE BEEN DOING AS AN ORGANIZATION IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE OPTIONS ARE SO THAT WE CAN INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW, YOU WE DON'T HAVE AN OPTION. WE'RE BEFORE WE DO THE BROAD EDUCATION, WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL THEM ABOUT WHERE WHERE THAT OPTION IS. AND YOU KNOW, HOW WE WILL PARTNER WITH WHATEVER ENTITY THEY WILL BE RECEIVING THEIR THEIR CARE AT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE RECORDS AND ALL OF THAT KIND OF THING. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE HANDLING IT IN SMALL BATCHES. SO PEOPLE WHO ARE DUE OR WHO NEED TO BE SCHEDULED FOR A C-SECTION OR NEED TO BE SCHEDULED FOR AN INDUCTION, WE, AS I SAID, THANKFULLY WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO SO FAR HAVE THEM BE ACCOMMODATED AT LAWNWOOD. SO FAR, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THEM ACCOMMODATE AT LONGWOOD.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TAPPING INTO THAT RELATIONSHIP AND OUR CLINICIANS WHO ARE UP IN SAINT LUCIE COUNTY BECAUSE WE DO PARTNER, WE DO WORK VERY WELL TOGETHER WITH FLORIDA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS HAS 15 LOCATIONS, SIX OF WHICH ARE IN SAINT LUCIE COUNTY. AND THEN WE HAVE A LOCATION HERE IN MARTIN COUNTY. WE'RE CO-LOCATED IN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, SO WE TRY TO USE

[00:15:02]

YEAH. IT IS NOT FOR US ABOUT HOW WE HOW WE DO WHAT IN OUR ORGANIZATION WILL HELP TO BRING IN ENOUGH RESOURCES TO, TO PROVIDE THE CARE, TO EXECUTE WHAT IS GENUINELY OUR MISSION, WHICH IS TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS TO CARE. AND SO, AS DISTRESSED AS YOU ARE, WE ARE.

AND I WISH THAT I HAD THE ANSWER TONIGHT, I DON'T, BUT WHAT WE ARE IS HERE TO LINK HANDS AND PARTNER WITH YOU TO TRY TO FIND ONE. SO HOW CAN WE HELP? FROM THE GRASSROOTS? GREAT ADVOCACY.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW TO WHOM ELSE TO SPEAK AT THIS POINT. QUITE HONESTLY, WE'VE HAD DOCTOR SENATOR GAYLE HAROLD IS VERY, VERY SUPPORTIVE. I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH HER, REACHED OUT TO ALL OF OUR A LOT OF LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE DECISION. SO NOW WE HAVE TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE DO IN RESPONSE TO THE DECISION. UNLESS UNLESS SOMEONE HERE HAS AN IDEA ABOUT HOW TO CHANGE THE DECISION, WELL, WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO. I APPRECIATE YOUR I CAN SEE YOUR EMOTION THAT YOU FEEL REALLY STRONGLY. I WE HAVE BEEN ALONG WITH KAREN, CHRISTA, OUR VILLAGE MANAGER, HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REACH OUT TO DIFFERENT HOSPITALS BECAUSE I HAVE A VISION FOR AN EMERGENCY ROOM WITH AN EVENTUAL SURGERY CENTER AND EVENTUAL HOSPITAL. AND WE DID REACH OUT TO JUPITER MEDICAL CENTER. WE WENT AND MET WITH THE CEO, AND PART OF THE PROBLEM WHEN WE LEFT WAS THAT IT'S ABOUT MONEY. ALL THESE HOSPITALS ARE FOR PROFIT. AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WHEN MARTIN MEMORIAL WAS SOLD TO CLEVELAND CLINIC. MARTIN MEMORIAL WAS A NON-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITAL SOLD TO CLEVELAND CLINIC, AND IT BECAME A FOR PROFIT HOSPITAL. SO I HAVE A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE THAT RUNS A HOSPITAL UP IN BOSTON, AND SHE TOLD ME, YOU GOT TO FIND A NON FOR PROFIT HOSPITAL TO COME THERE. AND. I AM CONTINUING TO REACH OUT TO DIFFERENT HOSPITALS ALMOST ON A MONTHLY BASIS. MY NEXT TRIP IS TO TAMPA BECAUSE TAMPA DOES HAVE A CONCIERGE SERVICE IN PALM BEACH GARDENS. SO MAYBE TAMPA WOULD BE INTERESTED IN DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND WHAT I WOULD ASK OF YOU IS THAT WHEN I DO THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO FOR YOU TO BE THERE FOR THAT RIDE. ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN OUT HERE FOR 30 PLUS YEARS. I REMEMBER WHEN YOUR BUILDING WAS A HARDWARE STORE. OKAY. AND I KNOW WHAT YOU DO FOR THE COMMUNITY, AND IT'S A GREAT THING. AND WHAT'S EVEN WHAT'S WHAT'S SO SPECIAL IS THE WAY YOU SPEAK ABOUT IT. SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALL. AND I'LL BE AND I'LL MAKE SURE TO LEAVE YOU WITH A CARD SO THAT WITH MY CELL PHONE NUMBER. AND WHEN YOU HIT THE ROAD, I HIT IT WITH YOU. THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY. THANKS SO MUCH. AWESOME. OKAY, NEXT WE HAVE DEENA FRIEDMAN WHO'S GOING TO DO A PRESENTATION. FOR OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT. SUCH AN AWESOME JOB.

SO GOOD EVENING. BEST OF THE BEST PEOPLE. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. DEENA FREEMAN WITH COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ASKED FOR A PRESENTATION THAT IS ORDINARILY GIVEN AT THE JOINT WORKSHOP MEETING. WE DID PROVIDE IT AT THE PLANNING ZONING APPEALS BOARD MEETING. AND SO HERE WE ARE WITH A PRESENTATION. IT'S MAINLY

[00:20:05]

AND THE NEXT SLIDE WILL SHOW YOU IT WAS TAKEN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, BUT THAT WAS THEM UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ON FIRE SUPPRESSION AND WITH OUR VILLAGE ENGINEER WITH REGARDS TO SOME OF THE SURFACE TESTING THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. SO RIGHT FROM THE START OF THE SITE PLAN ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO BUILDING PERMIT COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT WITH THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, DEPARTMENT DIVISION, WORKING WITH MARTIN COUNTY AT THE MOMENT ARE REVIEWING DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS AND THEN BUILDING PERMITS IN THAT.

SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS VENTURE PARK, THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS APPROVED AND BROUGHT INTO THE VILLAGE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. SO IN BLUE, IT'S THE AREA THAT'S SHOWN IN RELATION TO THE VILLAGE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND WHAT THIS SHOWS YOU IS SOME OF THE BREAKDOWN OF IT WAS A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS BASICALLY AN INDUSTRIAL SUBDIVISION ALMOST PERMIT READY AND THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL LOT WAS SOLD. THEY COULD BUY 2 OR 3 AT A TIME, BUT THEY BASICALLY COME IN AS INDIVIDUAL. NOW, PROPERTY OWNERS AND PROVIDED SITE PLAN, MINOR SITE PLAN APPLICATIONS. AND WE'VE HAD RCC CONSTRUCTION ARE APPROVED. GREEN CARBON SOLUTIONS WAS THE FIRST PROJECT THAT CAME INTO THE VILLAGE. AND THEY'RE THE ONES WITH THE CHARCOAL HIGH END CHARCOAL THAT THEY CREATE. AND IT'S AN EXCITING PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO GO INTO PHASE TWO AND SUBMIT. WE'VE GOT US ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION, WHICH IS A PROJECT THAT'S JUST COME IN FOR COMPLETENESS REVIEW IN THE LAST WEEK, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE STORAGE OF SOME OF THEIR FLEET OF VEHICLES. KENDALL INDUSTRIAL IS THREE OF THE LOTS.

THEY'VE BEEN APPROVED. AND YOU'LL SEE IN A MINUTE WITH A PICTURE THAT THEY'RE ALMOST AT KO. THEY GOT A TEMPORARY KO. IN FACT, CAN YOU GO BACK JUST TO THAT OTHER SLIDE, PLEASE. EAST COAST METALS, THEY'RE JUST UNDER 100,000FT■S AS A YOU'LL KNOW THM FROM THE HARD ROCK CAFE WITH THE METAL GUITAR THAT THEY BUILT THERE AND THEIR. YEAH, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF REALLY EXCITING INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S COME TO INDIAN TOWN. A MORE RECENT ONE IS P3 TECHNOLOGIES, WHICH JUST CAME IN RCC HAD A LOT NINE THAT WAS BASICALLY JUST OPEN STORAGE. SO THEY REVISED THEIR SITE PLAN AND HAD THIS VACANT, THIS LOT THAT WAS JUST SITTING THERE. SO THEY'RE ENCOURAGED TO WORK WITH LOCAL PROPERTY, REAL ESTATE AND WORKED OUT A DEAL WITH P3 TECHNOLOGIES.

JUST BROUGHT THAT PROPERTY ARE IN FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW RIGHT NOW AND THEY'RE PEOPLE. I WROTE THAT DOWN ACTUALLY, BECAUSE I ALWAYS BUTCHER WHAT THEY DO PROPULSION PUMPS AND POWER. THEY BASICALLY WORK TO DO WITH THE ROCKETS AND THE DIFFERENT WAY OF ACTUALLY GETTING ROCKETS INTO SPACE. SO FOR INDIAN TOWN, IT'S INCREDIBLE. THEY THEY COULD HAVE GONE ANYWHERE. AND THEY CAME HERE BECAUSE THEY REALLY LIKE INDIAN TOWN. AND IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE VILLAGE AND THE

[00:25:03]

AND THIS IS THE EAST COAST METAL. IF IT WAS OVER 100,000FTS IT WOULD HAVE COME BEFORE YOU AS A MAJOR. BUT THE THRESHOLD FOR INDUSTRIAL IS 100,000FT■S OR LESS. AND SO THEY'RE JUST UNDER THAT IN TERMS OF WITHIN THE ACTUAL ROOF, UNDER THE ROOF CONSTRUCTION. SO THEY CAME IN AS A MINOR SITE PLAN, STILL WENT THROUGH ALL THE COMP PLAN AND REVIEWS AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND THE WHOLE PROCESS, AND THEY WERE APPROVED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, BASICALLY FOR THEIR SITE PLAN. AND THEY'RE ALMOST THERE AGAIN WITH THEIR CEO. I THINK THEY'RE COMING IN FOR A TEMPORARY CEO JUST TO GET THEM RELOCATED FROM DOWN SOUTH SO THAT EVERYBODY'S COMING TO INDIAN TOWN. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS JUST A PICTURE OF SHOWING THE SCALE OF IT. IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO DRIVE OUT, YOU'LL BE AMAZED BY WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE VENTURE PARK AREA FOR INDUSTRY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THIS IS THE GREEN CARBON SOLUTIONS. THE IT SHOWS THE SITE AND THE LAYOUT ON THE ON THE LEFT. AND THEN THERE'S ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH FROM WHEN WE WERE INVITED TO HAVE A TOUR OF THE FACILITY. THEY'VE COMPLETED THEIR FIRST PHASE AND THEY WANT TO COME IN FOR THEIR SECOND PHASE, WHICH IS GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO NOT ONLY DO LIKE THE CLEAN WOODS, BUT ACTUALLY THINGS LIKE THE RAILWAY TIES AND SOME OF THE LESS CLEAN PRODUCTS, WHICH WILL ACTUALLY HELP AGAIN WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. AND THEY PRODUCE HIGH END CHARCOAL THAT IS USED IN DIFFERENT PRODUCTS, WHICH EVEN LIKE YOUR PHONE CASES AND YOUR CHAIRS THAT YOU SIT ON.

AND THEY'RE AIMING TO BE 100% GREEN. AND THEY GAVE A REALLY GOOD PRESENTATION. AT ANY POINT, IF ANYBODY WANTS TO DO A TOUR OF THAT FACILITY, I KNOW THEY'D BE OPEN TO THAT BECAUSE IT'S A REALLY COOL, ANOTHER REALLY COOL USE WITHIN INDIAN TOWN. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS THE P3 TECHNOLOGIES JUST TO SHOW YOU IT'S ONE OF THE MOST HOT OFF THE PRESS JUST IN FOR DEEMED COMPLETE. THEY COME BACK IN AND THEY SUBMIT THEIR DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION TRANSMIT IT TO OUR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COLLEAGUES WHICH I'M PART OF THAT AS THE PLANNER, THE PLANNER WITHIN COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AND LUCY AND THEN WE HAVE OUR ENGINEERS, FIRE AND PUBLIC WORKS UTILITIES DIRECTOR AND OUR VILLAGE MANAGER IN THAT GROUP. AND IT'S REVIEWED AGAINST THE LDR AND THE COMP PLAN AND THE PROCESS. AND WE'LL GO THROUGH THAT AND PROVIDE MEMOS. THEY'LL COME AND MEET WITH US AND THEY'LL RESUBMIT. AND THEN IF THEY'RE UP FOR QUALIFY FOR FINAL ACTION, THEN THEY'LL GET A DEVELOPMENT ORDER WILL BE DRAFTED AND REVIEWED BY WADE.

AND THEN IF EVERYTHING'S FINE, IT WILL BE SIGNED BY MYSELF AS DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AND BASICALLY RECORDED WITH THE CLERK OF THE COURT. SO THAT'S THE WHOLE PROCESS IN A REALLY QUICK KIND OF DESCRIPTION. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS JUST A SITE PLAN THAT'S JUST BEEN SUBMITTED RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW IF IT COMPLIES WITH ALL THE CODES, BECAUSE I'VE GOT TO LOOK AT IT AND PROVIDE A MEMO WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. BASICALLY AS AS VILLAGE ENGINEER, PUBLIC WORKS, UTILITIES AND FIRE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS A YELLOW PINE TRUST COMPANY THAT'S JUST COME IN AS WELL RECENTLY FROM COMPLETENESS. AND THIS IS A REALLY GOOD EFFECTIVE REUSE OF THE JUICE PLANT. SO WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE JUICE PLANT IS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR LAND AND OPPORTUNITIES. AND THEY'RE IDENTIFYING WELL WHERE ARE WE NOT NECESSARILY AS FULLY UTILIZED. YOU KNOW WITH THE OLD JUICE PLANT, IT'S BECOME LIKE A BIT OF A BUSINESS HUB WHERE DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES ARE COMING IN AND GETTING BUSINESS LICENSES OR THEY'RE COMING IN, AND IN THIS CASE, THEY'RE TAKING OUT AND DOING A LOT SPLIT AND CREATING A FACILITY THAT'S GOING TO BE MANUFACTURING ROOF TRUSSES. THAT'S FABULOUS. AND WE HAD SOME ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM BEFORE THEY CAME IN AND CONVINCED THEM THAT THEY COULD, YOU KNOW, IF YOU COME IN AND YOU DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODES, YOU'LL GET APPROVAL IN, LIKE LITERALLY A 3 TO 6 MONTH PROCESS. SO THEY WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THAT. AND THERE'S THE SITE AND THE SITE PLAN. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS JUST THE INDIAN TOWN WATER WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY CEDRON TECHNOLOGIES. YOU'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS ON THAT. WE'RE PENDING THEM RESUBMITTING. THEY'RE DOING SOME FINE TUNING ON THEIR SITE PLAN DESIGN, BUT WE ANTICIPATE GETTING THAT BACK IN IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO. AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GETTING TO A POINT WHERE THEY'RE ALMOST AT COMPLY AND DRAFT DEVELOPMENT ORDER, AND THEN THEY'LL GET INTO CONSTRUCTION PHASE ON THAT ONE AS WELL. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THIS IS JUST A LIST OF ALL THE NONRESIDENTIAL PROJECTS. SOME OF THEM WE'VE JUST SPOKEN ABOUT AND WHAT I DID. AND WE PROVIDE THIS FOR MARTIN COUNTY JOINT WORKSHOP WITH MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD, CITY OF STUART AND INDIAN TOWN.

AND OBVIOUSLY ON THERE WE'VE ALL YOU CAN SEE FROM THE THRESHOLDS. THE ALL OF THEM ARE BELOW THE THRESHOLDS FOR A MAJOR. BUT IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD TO HAVE THIS PRESENTATION SO THAT YOU CAN BE AWARE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING EVERY DAY. YOU KNOW, THAT YOU DON'T ALWAYS SEE BECAUSE OF THE CODE AND THE THRESHOLDS. SO THERE'S THE LIST. I DON'T WANT TO READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT, BUT YOU CAN SEE IT'S QUITE EXTENSIVE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THEN WE'VE GOT TERRA LARGO OBVIOUSLY IS THE ONE THAT EVERYBODY IS AWARE OF THAT'S HAPPENING FROM THE INDIAN TOWN DAIRY DEVELOPMENT AND REGIONAL IMPACT, WHICH BECAME INDIAN TOWN SORRY, TERRA LARGO AS A PED.

AND AGAIN, ANOTHER AERIAL NEXT SLIDE. AND I THINK THIS IS IT MAY WORK. IT'S A SLIDE SHOW THAT WAS PROVIDED FROM THE GARCIA GROUP. IT'S JUST TO SHOW YOU THE OVERALL SCALE OF IT AND GIVES YOU A BIT OF A FLY OVER OF WHAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN APPROVED IN THE OVERALL MASTER PLAN AND WHAT'S GOING TO BE BUILT OUT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. VERY NICE. IT'S JUST GOOD TO SEE IT FROM THAT ANGLE RATHER THAN JUST A FLAT PLAN. AND THIS THIS INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE AND I'M SURE THEY'VE UPDATED IT SINCE WE DID THIS, EVEN THIS SLIDE, IT'S HAVE TO BE PATIENT WHILE IT PLAYS THROUGH.

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THIS IS JUST IT'S A SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT I IDENTIFIED AND I WAS SHARING WITH MARTIN COUNTY THAT FROM THE LIST THAT I ALREADY PROVIDED WE'VE GOT STORE AWAY. THERE WAS A RECENT DOLLAR TREE THAT WAS APPROVED AGAIN THAT WAS UNDER THE THRESHOLDS OF I THINK IT'S 25 000 FOR NONRESIDENTIAL, BUT IT WAS WELL UNDER THAT FOR A MINOR SITE PLAN. BUT THEY DID COME BEFORE THE PCB FOR SOME VARIANCES FOR THERE WHERE THEY WERE POSITIONED AND THE PARKING AND SO FORTH. AND A FEW OF THE ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS. BUT SO YEAH, WE'VE BASICALLY GOT A FEW OTHERS. INDIAN TOWN GO CART IS JUST WAITING FOR THEM TO COME BACK IN. WE'VE WE'VE SAID WE'VE GOT INDUSTRY. DON'T SIT ON IT. PLEASE RESUBMIT.

WE WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CREATIVITY, YOUR CONSTRUCTION AND COORDINATION AMONGST YOUR MINIONS. THE CHILDREN ABSOLUTELY LOVED YOUR FLOAT. I WILL TELL YOU WHY THERE WAS A DELAY IN AWARDING. THERE WAS A TIE, BUT WHEN OUR GROUP GOT TOGETHER THAT WERE OUT IN THE CROWD AND HEARD WHAT THE CHILDREN WERE SAYING ABOUT YOUR FLOAT AND HOW EXCITED THEY WERE, THAT WAS THE TIE BREAKER. WE WANTED TO DO IT THE LAST MEETING, BUT WE JUST DIDN'T GET OUR GROUP TOGETHER THAT QUICK TO DO THAT. SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, WHO MAY I PRESENT TO YOU? RHONDA OR RHONDA SITTING DOWN. IVAN, WHY DON'T YOU? YOU WERE PART OF THIS TOO. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT. I WAS GOING TO SAY.

[00:40:06]

THEY? OH DARN IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. APOLOGIZE. THANK YOU. THE NEXT IS SUSAN GIBBS. THOMAS. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL VICE MAYOR. MAYOR. MY NAME IS SUSAN GIBBS. THOMAS. FOR THE RECORD, I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIT IN ONE OF THOSE SEATS THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY SITTING IN. AND I JUST WANTED TO BE HERE THIS EVENING BECAUSE OF THE FLORIDA COMMUNITY HEALTH. THEIR PRESENTATION ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT. I HAVE BEEN A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER OF THESE PROFESSIONALS THAT SIT HERE FOR OVER OVER 20 YEARS, ABOUT 25 YEARS. AND I HAVE TO SAY IT IS QUALITY CARE. THAT'S THE REASON THAT I'VE STAYED WITH THEM. THEY HAVE SEEN ME THROUGH SOME TRYING ISSUES IN MY LIFE, AND I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT THEY ARE HERE IN INDIANTOWN AND I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE SIT WITH THESE THREE PROFESSIONALS TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE OF INDIANTOWN. AND I REALLY ENJOY THE SECOND PRESENTATION THAT WE HAD ABOUT THE INCOMING POPULATION THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE, AND THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THEY'RE HERE IS BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING TO THE FUTURE. THEY KNOW HOW INDIAN TOWN IS GROWING, AND THEY WANT TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THAT QUALITY HEALTH CARE FOR INDIAN TOWN. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER AND MAYOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STEPPING UP AND TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO GET THAT IN THE WORKS NOW, BECAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW LONG IT TAKES. AND SO THOSE WILL THAT HOPEFULLY HAVE THAT AVAILABLE, CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT AVAILABLE FOR THE RESIDENTS IN INDIAN TOWN BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO BE GROWING IN OUR HEALTH CARE NEEDS TO BE GROWING WITH US. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS ANTONIO GASPAR. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. I HOPE EVERYBODY'S STAYING WARM WITH THIS WEATHER. I COME A LITTLE BIT NOT MAD BUT A LITTLE BIT UPSET BECAUSE I COME AND ASK. I WANT TO SAY IT IN THE BEST WAY SO MY WORDS DON'T GET TAKEN AS ILL INTENDED. BUT I HAVE A FOOD TRAILER HERE IN INDIANTOWN, AND I HAD TO GO THROUGH A WHOLE PROCESS TO PUT MY FOOD TRAILER OUT. AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE FOOD VENDORS THAT SELL RIGHT NEXT TO US THAT DO NOT HAVE ANY LICENSES. AND IT'S KIND OF AN ISSUE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I HAD TO GO THROUGH A WHOLE LOT OF PAPERWORK AND EVERYTHING TO GET MY FOOD TRAILER SET UP. AND I KNOW EVERYBODY HAS THEIR FAMILIES AND THEY HAVE TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR THAT THEY STILL GET TO SELL OUT OF THEIR CAR. IF IT WAS THAT EASY, I WOULD HAVE DONE IT THAT WAY. INSTEAD, YOU KNOW, I HAD TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS AND THEY THEY SEEM TO TELL THEM SOMETHING, BUT THEY STILL COME BACK, YOU KNOW, AND I MEAN, I DON'T MEAN IT WITH ILL INTENT. AND UNFORTUNATELY, I KNOW IT MIGHT BE TAKEN THAT WAY, BUT IT'S VERY STRESSFUL BECAUSE IF IT WAS THAT EASY, I THINK I WOULD HAVE DONE IT THAT WAY AS WELL. YOU KNOW, NOT PAYING NO TAXES, NOT DONE. ALL MY PERMITS NOT DONE, NONE OF THAT. YOU KNOW, AND IT COMES TO A POINT WHERE THE REASON I'M HERE IS BECAUSE SOMEBODY WHO SAYS THEY'RE THE OWNER OF THAT LAND COMES AND TELLS ME THAT I HAVE TO, BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE CAR IS PARKED A LITTLE BIT TOO CLOSE TO THE OTHER SIDE. THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO MOVE WHEN I HAVE ALL MY PERMITS, AND I HAVE ALL MY STUFF THAT I NEED TO BE THERE, AND I DON'T FIND IT FAIR TO BE HONEST. OKAY, WELL, LET ME LET ME ASSURE YOU THAT WE KNOW THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND THAT WE ARE WORKING ON IT, AND WE'RE GIVING OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT. I THINK WE HAVE A SECOND READING TODAY ON THAT. THE CITATION. WE ALREADY DID IT.

WE ALREADY DID IT. YEAH, WE DID IT ALREADY. WE APPROVED IT. YEAH. LAST MEETING. DINO WANTS TO COMMENT ON THAT. I APPRECIATE YOU COMING FORWARD. I'M DINA FREEMAN, SO THE CITATION PROGRAM

[00:45:04]

AND WE'RE BASICALLY IN A POSITION WHERE THEY'RE COMING OUT AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION FOR THE REPEAT OFFENDERS. THEY WERE TOLD IF THEY DO IT AGAIN, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO BE BACK IN MAGISTRATE. AND WE HAVE LIKE THE ABILITY NOW TO FIND THEM.

BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS, IF YOU'RE NOT ON A PROPERTY WHERE YOU OWN THE PROPERTY AND YOU'RE CHASING PEOPLE AROUND THE VILLAGE OUT OF THEIR CARS AND LIKE SHOPPING CARTS AND WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING, IT'S HARDER TO ACTUALLY CITE THEM. AND THAT'S WHY WE DID THE CITATION PROGRAM.

SO NOW THEY'LL BE FINED. IT'S A MINIMUM OF $50 PER VIOLATION OF SELLING FOOD. AND WE ARE REALLY WORKING HARD WITH OUR TWO CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICERS OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY TO IDENTIFY THEM AND BASICALLY NOW PROVIDE THEM WITH THE CITATION. AND WE'VE BEEN GIVEN THAT INSTRUCTION FROM OUR MAGISTRATE. SO WE'RE ON IT JUST TO TRY AND BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PATIENT. BUT WE ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE THAT YOU WENT THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS AND DID THE PERMITS. AND WE IT'S JUST A MATTER OF HOW DO WE GET TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING IT THAT SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT? AND HOW DO WE ACTUALLY FIND THEM WHEN THEY DON'T OWN AND THEY'RE THEY'RE TRESPASSING SOME OF THE TIME, YOU KNOW, AT LOCAL VACANT PROPERTIES. AND, AND WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS TOO AND GET THEM TO PUT DO NOT TRESPASS SO THAT WE CAN THEN CALL THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO. SO THERE'S A LOT MORE HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES. AND YOU'RE VERY WELCOME TO COME TO THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. AND WE CAN, YOU KNOW, JUST KEEP COMMUNICATING WITH US. AND WE HAVE TWO CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICERS NOW. AND THE EVENINGS, EARLY MORNING LATER IN THE EVENING. AND THEY'RE GOING TO START DOING WEEKENDS AS WELL. OKAY. ALL RIGHT I APPRECIATE YOU THOUGH. LIKE I SAID, I DON'T MEAN TO BE MEAN OR BECAUSE I KNOW EVERYBODY HAS THEIR FAMILY AND THEY WANT TO FEED THEIR FAMILY. I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IT COMES TO THE POINT WHERE NOW I'M GETTING YELLED AT WHEN I HAVE EVERYTHING I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE. AND THAT'S WHY I FINALLY CAME OVER HERE, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN ABOUT A YEAR THAT THIS THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON. SO, YOU KNOW, IT GETS TO A POINT WHERE THERE'S SO MUCH I CAN TAKE IN ORDER FOR ME TO SAY SOMETHING. WE HEAR YOU AND APPRECIATE YOU AND WE ARE LIKE HE SAID, WE ARE WORKING ON THIS. WE JUST DID THE SECOND READING TO PUT IN THE CITATIONS FOR THE CODE VIOLATIONS, AND WE APPRECIATE YOU AS A BUSINESS PERSON DOING THE RIGHT THING. WE APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT AND WE UNDERSTAND AND AGREE WITH YOU.

SO HOPEFULLY YOU'LL SEE A CHANGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. OKAY. THAT'S IT.

NO, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING OTHER TO ADD, BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY WELCOME TO OUR FIRST COUNCIL MEETING OF THE YEAR. SO GLAD TO HAVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU HERE. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN. HAPPY NEW YEAR. OKAY, WELL, I WASN'T AT THE MPO MEETING BECAUSE I WAS IN PORT SAINT LUCIE.

AND YESTERDAY WE DID THE SAME THING IN OKEECHOBEE COUNTY, AND THIS MORNING WE DID THE SAME THING IN STUART. AND I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.

Proposal to Create a Paid Time Off Program Rather Than Offer Separate Sick and Annual Leave Time for Village Employees

[01:00:04]

[01:05:03]

BUT I NEVER USED TO TAKE ANY SICK TIME. I NEVER USED TO TAKE ANY TIME OFF, AND I ALWAYS USED TO PUT IN FOR COMP TIME FOR MY OVERTIME. AND MY REWARD CAME AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN I RETIRED. SO USE IT. USE IT AS A SAVINGS ACCOUNT. AND IF YOU DO HAPPEN TO GET SICK, YOU GET THAT SAFETY NET AROUND YOU. SO I WOULD PROPOSE WHAT I'VE DISCUSSED, WHAT I'VE SAID, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE VILLAGE START THAT POOL BY PUTTING 500 HOURS IN THAT POOL, PUT IT IN THERE, START IT. AND THEN ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO BE ABLE TO DRAW FROM THAT NEEDS TO CONTRIBUTE TO IT. AND LET'S SEE HOW THAT WORKS. AND I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY, EVERYBODY WILL LIKE IT. CAN I ASK OUR ACCOUNTANT, IF THIS IS HE HE'S OBVIOUSLY INVOLVED IN IN THESE DECISIONS, WHAT THE BENEFITS TO WHAT MAYOR IS SUGGESTING MIGHT BE AND WHAT IS THE DRAWBACK, WHAT THE DRAWBACKS MIGHT BE AND WHY WE WANT TO MAKE THESE CHANGES. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE ARE USING THEIR SICK TIME TO GO ON VACATION, BECAUSE THEN THEY'RE SAVING THE TIME. THEY GET 100% PAY FOR. MAYBE WE JUST SIMPLY CHANGE THE STANDARD THAT THEY GET 100% OF THEIR SICK PAY IF THEY DON'T USE IT. I MEAN, THAT SEEMS TO BE THE SIMPLEST WAY TO DO IT. AND THEN THEY CAN USE IT FOR WHATEVER THEY WANT, WHENEVER THEY WANT, AND THEY'RE REALLY NOT RISKING ANYTHING. AND THEY'RE ALSO NOT PATTING THAT VACATION PAY THAT WAY. MAYBE THAT'S A SIMPLE WAY TO DO IT. I DON'T KNOW, I KNOW FROM A LIKE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE SHERIFF DOES IT THE SAME WAY MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES IT. WE DO THE SAME THING. IT'S KIND OF A NIGHTMARE TO KEEP UP WITH. I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE THE ACCOUNTANT THAT HAD TO DO IT, BUT IT IS GREAT FOR US BECAUSE, LIKE, IF I WORK A BALL GAME SELLING TICKETS, THEY GIVE ME TWO HOURS OF COMP TIME, BUT IT'S LIMITED TO CERTAIN DAYS THAT I CAN USE IT THE FIRST DAY OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. THAT'S A TEACHER'S PAID WORK DAY OR THE LAST DAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY LIMITED. SO IT'S JUST A LOT TO KEEP UP WITH. SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT IS HAVING THAT COMP TIME AND THAT SICK POOL. WHAT WE DO AT THE MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT IS WE ACTUALLY HAVE A WAY OF SHARING OUR SICK DAYS, SO IF SOMEONE IS SICK, THEY'LL REACH OUT TO THE OTHER TEACHERS AND SAY, HEY, BECAUSE WE HAD A TEACHER THAT HAD A BACK SURGERY THAT WENT VERY BADLY BEFORE THANKSGIVING AND SHE COULDN'T COME BACK UNTIL NOW. AND WE ALL ALMOST EVERYBODY CONTRIBUTED A SICK DAY. SO BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW FROM AN ACCOUNTING STANDPOINT AND FROM A MANAGEMENT STANDPOINT, WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE. I THINK A SICK POOL. I'VE NOT EVER BEEN SOMEPLACE THAT HAD A SICK POOL. I'M AWARE OF THEY EXIST. I HAVE THE GENERAL UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THEY HAVE.

OPERATED. I KNOW THERE ARE CASES WHERE INDIVIDUALS HAVE LONG TERM ILLNESS AND THEY RUN OUT OF TIME, YOU KNOW, AND THAT REALLY, I THINK BECOMES THE BIGGEST ISSUE. AND EMPLOYEES KIND OF CHIP IN OR MAYBE POOL SOME OF THEIR HOURS AND CONTRIBUTE IT TO A BANK, AND THEN THAT INDIVIDUAL CAN DRAW FROM THAT. IT'S LIKE AN INDIVIDUAL, YOU KNOW, DONATION, IF YOU WILL, SPECIFIC TO THAT PARTICULAR CASE OR TO THAT SPECIFIC EMPLOYEE. THAT'S WHAT I AM AWARE OF HAS HAPPENED ELSEWHERE. I HAVE NOT I'M NOT MYSELF DIRECTLY FAMILIAR WITH A POOL THAT'S JUST A GENERAL POOL, AND PEOPLE CAN PULL FROM IT AT ANY POINT IN TIME. THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE, I THINK, CERTAIN

[01:10:04]

ALL OF A SUDDEN WE GOT SICK DAYS THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, NOW WE'RE OUT THE REST OF THE WEEK. SO WE HAVE A WE HAVE WE HAVE THOSE SITUATIONS THAT HAPPEN HERE. AND AGAIN, I'M NOT SAYING THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT LEGITIMATELY SICK, BUT I THINK THAT THE FREQUENCY OF SICK TIME DOES TEND TO INCREASE AROUND HOLIDAY TIMES BEFORE OR AFTER, KIND OF EXTENDING THAT BREAK, AND PEOPLE ARE OUT ON SHORT NOTICE. AND IT DOES CAUSE SOME CHALLENGES WITH COVERAGE. WHEREAS I THINK A PTO SYSTEM, IF YOU CAN USE IT FOR ANYTHING AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS TO USE THAT PTO, THEN FOLKS ARE MORE AT EASE, I THINK, TO USE THAT TIME AND TO SCHEDULE AND TO PLAN THAT TIME. AND THAT CAN BE KIND OF INTEGRATED INTO THE TEAM A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFECTIVELY.

THAT'S MY PERSONAL OPINION. AND THERE ARE CASES WITH STAFF WHERE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF STAFF DON'T LIKE, LIKE THE MAYOR DON'T USE SICK TIME. SO THAT IS ALWAYS BUILDING AND THEY CAN'T TOUCH IT. AND THE ONLY REALLY USING THE ANNUAL TIME. AND SO YOU HAVE KIND OF THIS DISPARITY WHERE YOU HAVE SOME STAFF THAT ARE USING SICK AND ANNUAL ALL THE TIME, AND THEN SOME STAFF THAT ARE NOT USING ANY OF THE SICK. AND I THINK IT KIND OF JUST IN MY OPINION, THE PTO SYSTEM LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD A LITTLE BIT, AND THAT WAY YOU CAN KIND OF USE THE TIME THAT YOU NEED, AND YOU GOT TO BE JUDICIOUS IN HOW YOU USE YOUR TIME. THAT SHOULD APPLY WHETHER IT'S BOTH POOLS OR TOGETHER OR SEPARATE. YEAH. OKAY. ONE MORE QUESTION. I'M SORRY. SURE. DO WE PROVIDE ANY KIND OF LONG TERM DISABILITY AS A BENEFIT FOR OUR PEOPLE? IT'S A BENEFIT THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO PAY THE PAYROLL DEDUCTION. SO WE HAVE AFLAC THAT IS AVAILABLE TO THEM. AND THEY CAN CERTAINLY A SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM DISABILITY THAT IS AVAILABLE. YES. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SURE. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. YES, MA'AM. SO THE SYSTEM THAT WE USE RIGHT NOW IS NOT HERE FOR ME FOR WORK. IS PTO AND SICK TIME. AND THEN WE HAVE WHAT'S CALLED EIB EXTENDED ILLNESS, BANK OKAY, EXTENDED ILLNESS BANK ACCRUES JUST LIKE YOUR PTO AND SICK TIME EVERY TIME YOU GET PAID. OKAY, THE EXTENDED ILLNESS BANK YOU NEVER USE UNTIL YOU'VE BEEN SICK FOR AT LEAST FIVE DAYS, CONSECUTIVE DAYS, AND THEN YOU START DRAWING OUT OF THAT, OKAY? AND YOU HAVE UP TO 400 HOURS OF THAT. OKAY. WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING? YOU KNOW, I GUESS HOW MANY HOURS A YEAR DO YOU ACCRUE WITH THAT? DEPENDS ON YOUR YOUR LONGEVITY DEPENDS ON YOUR LONGEVITY. SO IF YOU'RE THERE LONGER YOU GET MORE OF THAT EIB. AND IF YOU'RE THERE LESS. YES. OKAY. I KNOW WHEN I FIRST STARTED I GET HALF A DAY FOR PAY FOR HALF A DAY PAY PERIOD. YEAH, THAT'S A NEW ONE FOR ME. I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT PARTICULAR SYSTEM, BUT USUALLY IF YOU'RE ON EXTENDED ILLNESS, IT'S GOING TO GO FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T KNOW, 400 HOURS

[01:15:05]

SURE. OKAY. OKAY. I'M. I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH WITH THE PTO SYSTEM. I THINK IT'S VERY GOOD.

ALSO, I LIKE THE FACT I LIKE THE SHORT TERM, LONG TERM DISABILITY THAT THAT THE STAFF CAN PARTICIPATE IN. SO THAT'S ALL. OKAY. OKAY. VICE MAYOR SO TERENCE SAID THAT YOU TOOK A SURVEY OF THE EMPLOYEES. SO WHAT WAS SO WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME OF THE SURVEY? IT WAS ABOUT I THINK I PUT IT IN HERE. I THINK IT WAS. ABOUT 52%. I MEAN, IT WAS CLOSE, BUT IT WAS IT WAS IN FAVOR OF PTO MORE THAN NOT IN FAVOR OKAY. I HAVE IT. YEAH, I DIDN'T I THOUGHT I HAD PUT THAT IN HERE, BUT IT WAS LIKE 52, 53%. IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE JUST IT WAS CLOSE. IT WAS CLOSE. AND THEN BACK TO MIKE. SO WITH THE NEW TYLER SYSTEM, BECAUSE SHE SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, THE BALANCES ARE NOT CORRECT. SO WITH THE TYLER SYSTEM NOW OH MOVING FORWARD OKAY. ACTUALLY TODAY TOMORROW. YEAH IT'S CORRECT NOW. SO BUT WITH THE TYLER SYSTEM YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE THAT'S GOING TO BE CORRECT MOVING FORWARD TYLER SYSTEM CAN DO MATH. YES IT CAN. THAT'S THANKFUL. YES YES I JUST JUST GOT ONE MORE QUESTION FOR YOU, VILLAGE MANAGER. YES, MA'AM. FOR THE THOSE THAT WERE NOT IN FAVOR OF THE PTO, DID THEY UNDERSTAND IT? WHAT? DID THEY HAVE A REASON WHY THEY WASN'T IN FAVOR OF IT? WE DIDN'T GET THAT DETAILED. COUNCIL MEMBER. WE JUST, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, SOME OF THIS, EITHER YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT PAID TIME OFF IS OR KEEPING TWO SEPARATE BUCKETS, YOU KNOW, SICK AND WE JUST PUT THAT OUT THERE. YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. CITY MANAGER, PLEASE I'D LIKE TO JUST REITERATE THAT THE HOURS, THE AMOUNT OF MONEY GOING IN FOR THEIR PAID TIME OFF IS JUST BASICALLY GOING TO BE UNDER A DIFFERENT LABEL, ALL IN ONE BUCKET, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE LOSING ANY TIME OFF OR GAINING ANY TIME OFF. THERE'S A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN THEY GAIN A VERY SLIGHT AMOUNT, SO THEY GAIN. THAT'S IT. JUST A VERY SLIGHT AMOUNT. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO AS LONG AS IT'S ACCRUALS CORRECT EVEN. AND THEY'RE NOT LOSING. NO THEY ARE NOT. THAT WAS MY GOAL NOT TO LOSE. AND I ASKED THE EMPLOYEES, PLEASE LOOK AT IT AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY REALIZE THAT THEY WERE NOT LOSING TIME. OKAY. AND FROM A STANDPOINT OF TIME MANAGEMENT, MONEY MANAGEMENT, YOUR TIME STAFF'S TIME KEEPING UP WITH THE TWO BUCKETS, THIS ONE BUCKET SYSTEM IS GOING TO ALLEVIATE SOME BURDEN. AM I UNDERSTANDING THAT CORRECTLY? I THINK SO, I MEAN, IN THIS IN THE PAYROLL SYSTEM NOW, I MEAN WHETHER IT'S 2 OR 1, IT'S REALLY NOT NOT A PROBLEM PER SE. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE, FROM MY OPINION, EASIER FOR STAFF TO MANAGE, YOU KNOW, INDIVIDUALLY AND FOR THEM, LIKE I SAID, TO HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY NOW TO REALIZE THAT THERE'S NOT SEPARATION IN THE INTENDED USE OF TIME OFF. THEY DON'T HAVE TO JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, THEY THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE JUST SICK, YOU KNOW, REASONS OR THEY'RE I'M OUT SICK OR I HAVE TO HAVE DOCTOR'S NOTES FOR THE SICK TIME. THAT BECOMES A CHALLENGE VERSUS ONE SINGLE PAID TIME OFF BUCKET. AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO SPEND THAT TYPE OF DECISION MAKING. SO THEY'LL BASICALLY BE ENCOURAGED TO USE THAT PAID TIME OFF WITH FURTHER NOTICE THAN TO CALL IN THE DAY. THE MORNING. I CERTAINLY SAY I'M NOT COMING IN. I'M SICK. I CERTAINLY THINK SO, I DO OKAY, SO REALLY THAT'S A HUGE BENEFIT IN IN THAT THEY CAN PLAN THOSE WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY. THEY CAN PLAN THOSE DAYS. AND THAT WAY PEOPLE WHO ARE WANTING TO USE TIME OFF DURING THE BREAK, WHAT WILL THE LIMITATIONS BE FOR? HOW WILL YOU KEEP ALL THE STAFF FROM TAKING THE THREE DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS BREAK OFF? I MEAN, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO LIMITATIONS BE? WILL YOU REALLY KICK THAT BACK TO YOUR MANAGERS TO MANAGE THEIR OFFICES ACCORDINGLY? AND YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY DO A GOOD JOB OF THIS ONE TOOK OFF LAST CHRISTMAS. THIS ONE'S ASKING FOR THIS YEAR. SO OKAY. SO THERE WILL BE SOME YES MANAGEMENT OF THAT. YES. YEAH. OURS IS IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. WHEN I WAS DOWN THERE THAT WAS IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE A SPECIFIC DOCTOR'S NOTE, YOU DIDN'T GET PAID FOR THE HOLIDAY. RIGHT? OKAY. YEAH. BUT NOW IT'S GOING TO BE ALL UNDER ONE. NO, BUT STILL YOU COULD STILL YOU COULD STILL RESTRICT THAT WHERE YOU CAN'T USE A PTO

[01:20:03]

RIGHT. YEAH. OKAY. SO HOW CAN YOU DOCTORS HOW CAN YOU DISCIPLINE SOMEBODY FOR TAKING A SICK DAY IF IT'S IF IT'S UNSCHEDULED DAYS, IF IT'S UNSCHEDULED IF IT'S UNSCHEDULED IF IT'S UNSCHEDULED, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S VERY COMMON IF YOU'RE NOT WORKING THE DAY BEFORE OR AFTER A HOLIDAY. YEAH. YOU DON'T GET PAID. I UNDERSTAND THAT. YEAH. BUT WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT COMPANIES THAT EMPLOY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. WE DON'T HAVE THAT. NO. THERE'S OTHER COMPANIES THAT HAVE PTO THAT AREN'T THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. I MEAN, BUT SURE. OKAY, WELL, I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO, BUT ONE DAY YOU'RE GOING TO SAY CARMINE WAS RIGHT. MARK MY WORDS. WE GOT IT RECORDED, RIGHT? YEAH. OKAY. DO I HAVE A MOTION? MY MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THIS PROPOSAL. THANK YOU. MOTION MADE BY COUNCILWOMAN WILLIAMS PALMER. SECOND. SECOND, SECOND BY VICE MAYOR PEREZ. ALL FOR FOUR. HI. ALL AGAINST PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU.

COUNCILWOMAN ONSLAUGHT OR SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN PALMER. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OKAY. CONGRATULATIONS. PASS UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. NEXT IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE. I'LL PASS

[7.  

ORDINANCE NO. 01-2025 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 40, “UTILITIES”, ARTICLE VII, “WATER AND WASTEWATER CAPITAL CONNECTION FEES”, SECTION 40-201, “RATES OF CAPITAL CONNECTION FEES; TIME OF PAYMENT”, OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN CODE OF ORDINANCES; ADOPTING REVISED GALLONS PER DAY SPECIFICATIONS FOR WATER EQUIVALENT RESIDENTIAL CONNECTIONS; ADOPTING RELATED ADJUSTMENTS; AND PROVIDING FOR FINDINGS, CODIFICATION, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

[01:40:09]

ARTICLE SEVEN WATER AND WASTEWATER CAPITAL CONNECTION FEES. SECTION 42.01 RATES OF CAPITAL CONNECTION FEES. TIME OF PAYMENT OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN. CODE OF ORDINANCES ADOPTING REVISED GALLONS PER DAY SPECIFICATIONS FOR WATER EQUIVALENT RESIDENTIAL CONNECTIONS. ADOPTING RELATED ADJUSTMENTS AND PROVIDING FOR FINDINGS, CODIFICATION, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND THIS ORDINANCE IS BEFORE YOU FOR FIRST READING TONIGHT. MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS. GOOD EVENING. SO THIS ORDINANCE IS KIND OF A LITTLE CLEANUP ORDINANCE. CLEANING UP SOME UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THAT CAME UP AND SOME ISSUES THAT OTHERWISE WOULD ARISE AS A RESULT OF SOME UPDATES THE VILLAGE COUNCIL MADE BACK IN 2023. IF YOU ALL WILL RECALL, BACK IN 2023, THERE WAS A SUBSTANTIAL REVISION TO THE CAPITAL CONNECTION FEES PROVISIONS IN YOUR WATER AND WASTEWATER ORDINANCE. THAT'S WHEN THE CAPITAL CONNECTION FEES, COMMONLY CALLED WATER OR WASTEWATER, THEY USED TO BE CALLED WATER OR WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES WERE RAISED A FAIR BIT. A LOT OF OTHER CHANGES WERE MADE IN THE ORDINANCE TO IMPLEMENT THAT IN THERE. AND ONE OF THE MANY CHANGES THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED IN THAT WAS A CHANGE FROM A SPECIFICATION THAT THE INDIAN TOWN COMPANY HAD HAD FOR MANY YEARS, FOR DECADES AND DECADES, AND THAT THE VILLAGE HAD FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS. THEY HAD THE UTILITY OF DENOMINATING. THEIR WATER IRKS, AND THIS IS ALL VERY TECHNICAL, I RECOGNIZE THAT, BUT I'LL TELL YOU THAT LITTLE ISSUE IT BRINGS UP THEIR EQUIVALENT RESIDENTIAL CONNECTIONS. FOR DECADES THAT HAD BEEN AT 300 GALLONS PER DAY. ALL RIGHT. IN THAT ORDINANCE, IT CHANGED TO 250 GALLONS PER DAY. ALL RIGHT. AN ISSUE, HOWEVER, POPPED UP AS WE WERE DEALING WITH A LOT OF OTHER ISSUES. AS THE COUNCIL KNOWS, THE VILLAGE IS A PARTY TO A NUMBER OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS, WATER AND WASTEWATER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS, A SET OF THEM THAT THEY INHERITED THAT THE VILLAGE INHERITED FROM THE INDIAN TOWN COMPANY. WE ASSUMED ALL THOSE.

AND THEN WE'VE SUBSEQUENTLY ENTERED INTO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS WITH OUR LARGEST NEW DEVELOPERS IN THE VILLAGE WITH TERRA LAGO AND WITH RIVER OAK. WELL, ALL OF THOSE AGREEMENTS, THE OLD INDIAN TOWN COMPANY ONES AND THE THESE NEW ONES, THEY WERE ALL ADOPTED PRIOR TO THAT CHANGE. THEY WERE ALL ADOPTED WITH THE 300 GALLONS PER DAY DENOMINATION INSTEAD OF THE 250.

SO IT CAME TO BE THAT WHEN I WAS TALKING WITH ONE OF THE ATTORNEYS FOR ONE OF THE DEVELOPERS WITH REGARD TO GETTING ONE OF THE OLD INDIAN TOWN COMPANY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS ALL UP AND CURRENT AND SO ON, THE ISSUE CAME UP, HEY, YOU'VE CHANGED YOUR DENOMINATION. THIS IS GOING TO IF IT STAYS THAT WAY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME ISSUES ABOUT RECALCULATING EVERYTHING THEY HAD BACK IN THE PAST. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE UPSIDE AND THE DOWNSIDE OF EVERYTHING, IF YOU WERE TO DO A RECALCULATION LIKE THAT WITH ALL OF THE UNITS OF CAPACITY THAT HAVE BEEN PRE-SOLD IN THE PAST, IT ENDS UP BEING A HUGE FINANCIAL LOSS TO THAT, TO THAT LINE ITEM. WE DISCUSSED. WE DISCUSSED IT WITH RAFTELIS, THE CONSULTANTS THAT PUT TOGETHER THE STUDY THAT EVERYTHING WAS BASED ON FOR OUR REVISED CAPITAL CONNECTION FEES, AND THEN WITH THE VILLAGE ENGINEER, WITH VILLAGE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AND THE VILLAGE MANAGER AND MYSELF. AND IT WAS THE UNANIMOUS CONCLUSION THAT THERE WOULD BE REALLY NO SUBSTANTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO GOING BACK TO THE OLD NUMBER, AND IT WOULD SOLVE ALL THOSE PROBLEMS. SO THAT'S WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR FIRST READING. IT'S AN ORDINANCE SIMPLY CHANGING A SINGLE NUMBER FROM 250 BACK TO 300, WHICH IS WHERE IT HAD BEEN FOR DECADES AND DECADES. SO WITH THAT, STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND APPROVING THE ORDINANCE ON FIRST READING, AND I'M GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. ANY COMMENTS, ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? NO, SIR. OKAY. WE'LL WAIT FOR VICE MAYOR TO GET BACK AND THEN WE'LL. MOVE ON. WE HAVE A MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION TO APPROVE BY

[01:45:10]

Discussion on Emergency Warning Sirens in the Village of Indiantown

[01:55:03]

YEAH. NO, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR RESEARCH BECAUSE. YEAH, WELL, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE MISS NICCUM KNEW WE CARED. YES. COUNCILWOMAN PALMER? YES. I WANTED TO ASK WHAT INDIAN WOOD.

IT'S LIKE THE COMMUNITY. RIGHT. SO THE OWNERS OF THAT COMMUNITY, BECAUSE THEY THEY THEY COLLECT RENTS AND EVERYTHING. SO WOULDN'T WE HAVE TO REACH OUT TO THEM, OR COULD WE REACH OUT TO THEM, BRING THEM ON BOARD AND SEE WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE WILLING TO? YOU KNOW, IF WE WERE THINKING ABOUT IT, PUT SOME OF THAT RIGHT, AS I UNDERSTAND IT. AND THIS IS ONLY SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT I'VE GOTTEN FROM RESIDENTS OF INDIAN WOOD, SPECIFICALLY, ANY COST CURRENTLY UNDER THIS NEW OWNERSHIP, ANY COSTS THAT ARE INCURRED BY THE HOA OR THE POA OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, IS PASSED DOWN TO EACH RENTER. OH, OKAY. YEAH. WHICH GOES BACK TO COUNCILWOMAN ONSAGER'S. YOU KNOW, IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY THAT THAT COMMUNITY IS PASSIONATE ABOUT AND WANTS TO PAY FOR, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT, AND YOU'RE GOING TO SPREAD THE COST OUT AMONG. YEAH. HOW MANY 500 PEOPLE OR FIVE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY. THE, THE DILEMMA IS WE HAVE A LOT OF ELDERLY OVER THERE THAT ARE THEY ARE ALREADY COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS NEW COMPANY GOING UP ON THE RENTS. CORRECT. YOU KNOW, AND THAT MAY NOT BE FEASIBLE FOR, YOU KNOW, A THE SENIOR CITIZENS. WELL AND I WOULD BE I WOULD BE I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THEY WOULD TAKE ON

[02:00:06]

EVERYONE DOES. LINDA, NICOLE. SHE DOESN'T HAVE A CELL PHONE. SHE DOES NOT HAVE A CELL PHONE.

NO. WELL, SHE COULD, YOU KNOW, GET ONE FOR THAT. YEAH. IT'S A FREE SERVICE. SHE COULD GET ONE FOR JUST THAT. YES. YEAH, YEAH. BECAUSE THERE ARE THESE ALERTS THAT COME OUT FROM EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT THAT ARE VERY EFFECTIVE. THEY'RE VERY EFFECTIVE. AND AS YOU KNOW, WHEN WE EXPERIENCE MILTON, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE 28 I MEAN, IF YOU WERE AT THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CENTER, THERE WAS ALARMS. EVERYBODY'S PHONES WERE GOING CRAZY WITH THESE TORNADO WARNINGS. YEAH. ANYBODY ELSE? I FOR MYSELF, I DON'T THINK IT'S A FEASIBLE THING THAT WE COULD DO.

I THINK IT'S COST PROHIBITIVE. I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE EFFECTIVE. I THINK IT'S GOING TO EXPOSE US TO LIABILITY. GOD FORBID SOMETHING DID HAPPEN. FORTUNATELY FOR US OUT HERE, WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD MUCH IN THE WAY OF TORNADOES. OKAY. AND IF YOU'RE LIVING IN A MOBILE HOME AND THAT THING GOES OFF, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO RUN? I KNOW DURING THE TORNADOES OVER IN STUART, I WAS IN MY BUS AND I'M LIKE STRAPPED DOWN. WE'RE GOING FOR A RIDE MAYBE, YOU KNOW, AND I MEAN, THAT'S IT. SO. YOU KNOW, THEY THEY POP UP SO FAST THAT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE EFFECTIVE AND COST PROHIBITIVE. SO OKAY, WE HAD A DISCUSSION.

CAN WE ALL IN AGREEMENT. CAN BROWN HAS A CAN I SPEAK. YES MA'AM. THANK YOU SIR. NO PROBLEM. WE'RE GOOD. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT BEING COST PROHIBITIVE. BUT WHAT'S A LIFE WORTH. SO WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THEM OPTIONS THAT THEY CAN USE FEASIBLE OPTIONS AND PRESENT THAT TO THEM. DON'T JUST SAY IT'S COST PROHIBITED, BECAUSE WHAT'S THE VALUE OF A LIFE WHERE THEY LIVE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT IT COST. IT'S NOT IT'S NOT FEASIBLE FOR US. BUT LET'S GIVE THEM SOME VIABLE OPTIONS. AND I THINK THAT WOULD COME OVER BETTER THAN JUST SAYING, OKAY, IT'S NOT FEASIBLE. JUST LET IT GO. YEAH. BUT YOU, YOU HAD YOU JUST GAVE SOME THOSE ARE SOME FEASIBLE OPTIONS. BUT WE HAVE TO PRESENT THAT TO THEM AT THAT TIME. OKAY. AND I'LL DO SOME MORE RESEARCH AND GET THAT. AND I'LL REACH OUT TO EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AS WELL AND SEE, YOU KNOW, ARE THEY GOING OUT EDUCATING SOME OF THESE MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITIES? THE FIREFIGHTERS ARE I THINK WE SHOULD TRY AND REACH OUT TO LEGACY ALSO. YES, WE'LL DO THAT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S IT. OKAY. ITEM NUMBER 12 DISCUSSION ON CONSIDERING LAND DEVELOPMENT

[12.  

Discussion on considering a Land Development Regulation Text Amendment to Chapter 12. Development Review and Procedures, Sec.12-2. – General requirements for applications regarding posted notice requirements.

THERE WAS SOME INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE AGENDA ITEM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE STRIKETHROUGH AND UNDERLINE DIDN'T CARRY FORWARD INTO PDF SO I APOLOGIZE. SO WE'RE REQUESTED TO BRING FORWARD A DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING WHEN POSTING OF SIGNS SHOULD HAPPEN. RIGHT NOW UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF OUR CODE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, CHAPTER 12, SECTION 12. TWO SIGNS ARE REQUIRED TO BE POSTED ONLY IN RELATION TO MAJOR SITE PLAN APPLICATIONS AND AT LEAST FIVE DAYS PRIOR TO ANY SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING, AND IT PROVIDES DETAILS OF THE PROJECT, THE TIME AND THE DATE AND THE PLACE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARINGS. SO THERE'S BEEN SOME SUGGESTIONS THAT WE CONSIDER LOOKING AT POSTING OF SIGNS ON ALL DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS, SUCH AS MINOR SITE PLANS, MAJOR SITE PLANS, AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THAT WOULD HAPPEN NOT DISSIMILAR TO MARTIN COUNTY AND THEIR PROVISIONS IN ARTICLE TEN, WHICH IS WITH THEM. IT'S TEN DAYS AFTER THE COMPLETENESS REVIEW HAS BEEN, AN APPLICATION HAS BEEN DEEMED COMPLETE, THEY'RE GIVEN A LETTER AND THEY'RE TOLD THEY NEED TO POST THE SIGNAGE ON THE SITE. WHETHER IT'S A MINOR, A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT, AN ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENT, A VARIANCE, A ZONING CHANGE, WHATEVER THE DEVELOPMENT TYPE APPLICATION, THEY DO DEFINE IT WITHIN THEIR CODE. AND WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT HERE YET, BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY SHORT TIME TO GET THIS TO YOU. BUT WHAT WE WOULD DO IS WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT REPLACING THE WITHIN FIVE DAYS PRIOR TO A PUBLIC HEARING. WITH 14 DAYS AFTER COMPLETION, WE GET AN APPLICATION IN, IT'S DEEMED COMPLETE, WE PROVIDE A LETTER AND IT GIVES THEM THE INFORMATION REQUIRING THEM TO

[02:05:03]

AND IT'S SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS PER SIGN. WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO MAKE IT OVER COMPLICATED IN TERMS OF SIGN POSTING. IT WORKS WITH WHAT WE DO NOW, BUT I THINK THE INTENT IS MAYBE TO PROVIDE MORE TRANSPARENCY AND MORE INFORMATION AT AN EARLIER STAGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND EXTEND IT BEYOND JUST THOSE THAT GENERATE REQUIREMENT FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS. SO THAT'S A REALLY BRIEF PRESENTATION. I DID PROVIDE SOME DRAFT CODE. THE EXISTING CODE IS WITHIN FIVE BUSINESS DAYS. THE PROPOSED CODE WOULD BE NOT MORE THAN 14 DAYS AFTER A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE COMPLETE BY VILLAGE STAFF, THE APPLICANT SHALL POST THE PROPERTY THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE APPLICATION WITH A SIGN, A GIVEN, SOME DETAILS OF THE LANGUAGE AND HAVING DISCUSSED THIS WITH OUR VILLAGE ATTORNEY AS WELL, WE'D NEED SOME OTHER CODE CHANGES TO DEFINE WHAT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS WOULD REQUIRE. SIGNAGE. WE. WE JUST HAD THE CONDITIONAL USE THAT WAS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO YOU COULD ARGUE THAT, BUT WOULD YOU ALSO NEED A CERTIFICATE OF USE JUST FOR A BUSINESS OPENING OR A BUILDING PERMIT? YOU KNOW, IT CAN GET TO A POINT WHERE YOU'D HAVE SIGNS EVERYWHERE FOR EVERY DIFFERENT TYPE OF APPLICATION.

SO WE'D HAVE IF WE DO CHANGE THE CODE, WE WOULD NEED TO LOOK AT THAT IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL, AND WE WOULD COME BACK WITH AN ACTUAL DRAFT ORDINANCE AND CORRECT STRIKETHROUGH, UNDERLINE AND SUCH FOR, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. SO WE'RE HERE TO OPEN FOR DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION FROM VILLAGE COUNCIL. OKAY I HAVE A QUESTION. SO WHO PAYS FOR THE SIGNAGE. THE PERSON WHO IS GETTING THE DOING THE DEVELOPMENT. YES OKAY. AND LIKE YOU SAID IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE.

SIGNAGE IS EXPENSIVE. HAVING IT PUT IN IS EXPENSIVE. PEOPLE DESTROY IT. IT'S EXPENSIVE. YOU HAVE TO REPLACE IT. DO WE HAVE A PART OF OUR WEBSITE THAT'S VERY USER FRIENDLY, THAT PEOPLE CAN GO AND SEE ALL THE. WHERE THE WHY CAN'T WE COME INTO THE 21ST CENTURY AND HAVE THAT ALL BE ELECTRONIC? THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CALL YOU OR YOUR OFFICE. IT SHOULD. THE SIGNAGE SHOULD DIRECT THEM TO THE WEBSITE WHERE ALL THE INFORMATION IS. IT'S NOT A GOOD USE OF TIME FOR YOU GUYS TO BE ANSWERING THE PHONE. FOR 16 PEOPLE THAT DRIVE BY SOMETHING ON THEIR ROAD, AND THEY ALL WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. I DID NOTICE IN REVIEWING OUR WEBSITE THAT IT'S NOT AS UP TO DATE AS IT NEEDS TO BE. I THINK WE NEED TO REALLY CONCENTRATE ON GETTING SPECIFIC, SPECIFICALLY THE ROAD WORK, THE WATER TREATMENT. ALL THAT INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE VERY EASILY ACCESSED ON OUR WEBSITE SO THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT RINGING THE PHONES. WE NEED TO START USING UTILIZING THAT. AND YES, NOT EVERYONE CAN OR HAS ACCESS TO THAT. THEY CAN WALK IN THE DOOR AND ASK, BUT MOST OF THE WORLD HAS ACCESS TO THIS. I LIKE THE IDEA OF CHANGING THE SIGNAGE TO THE WITHIN 14 DAYS AFTER, BECAUSE POSTING AND THEN GETTING NOT NOT BEING APPROVED OR NOT GETTING YOUR APPLICATION, THAT'S A BIG EXPENSE. I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO POST EVERY SINGLE THING THAT'S GOING ON. HOWEVER, I DO NOT WANT TO SEE SIGNS EVERYWHERE. I JUST I JUST DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARY. IF ALL THE BUSINESSES OR BUILDING PERMITS OR WHATEVER ARE ONLINE, WHERE PEOPLE CAN LOOK THEM UP OR SEE THEM, THAT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT. SO THAT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION THAT WE, THE SIGNAGE, BE KEPT TO A MINIMUM, VERY SPECIFICALLY DIRECTING THEM TO WHERE THEY CAN FIND THE INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE. I HEAR YOU, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING TO DEVELOP THE TYLER SYSTEM, WHICH WILL REVOLUTIONIZE INDIAN TOWN IN TERMS OF JUST HAVING EVERYTHING AVAILABLE ONLINE, IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO ACCESS THAT AS PUBLIC OR AS THE APPLICANT, TO BE ABLE TO BE SUBMITTING ELECTRONICALLY RATHER THAN PAPER. THERE WERE STILL SOME REQUIREMENTS FOR POSTING IN TERMS OF NOTICING THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT IN TERMS OF STATE STATUTE AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND MAKING SURE THAT THE PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, THE ONES THAT DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET. BUT WE STILL GET A LOT OF WALKING INQUIRIES AS A RESULT

[02:10:04]

I DON'T REALLY WANT TO CHANGE IT. WE HAVE WE SPENT A TON OF MONEY ON THAT PROGRAM. IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WE WANTED IT TO DO, AND SOON THE PUBLIC WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO IN AND LOOK AT ANYTHING THEY WANT TO LOOK AT. ANY PROJECT, ANY DOCUMENT, ANY PERMIT. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE EVOLVING AND SOMETIMES THINGS TAKE TAKE TIME AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO BABY SPOON EVERYBODY. WE'RE JUST NOT GOING TO DO IT OKAY. WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFF FOR THAT. WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME FOR THAT. THINGS ARE MOVING FAST AND WE'VE GOT A LOT TO DO WITH MINIMAL STAFF. SO I DON'T THINK WE OUGHT TO MAKE IT ANY MORE COMPLICATED FOR THE BUILDER. I REALLY DON'T.

I THINK WE OUGHT TO MAKE IT EASIER. UNDERSTOOD. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. I DO WANT TO CLARIFY ONE THING. I'M SORRY. WHAT IS YOUR IS IT YOUR SUGGESTION THAT WE MAKE THAT PARTICULAR CHANGE, OR IS IT JUST IS IT GOING TO IN JUST THAT FIVE DAY TO THE 14 DAY? THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT I'M RESPONDING TO. THERE'S A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC THAT REQUESTED THAT WE PROVIDE THIS AS DISCUSSION. SO I WAS TAKING VILLAGE MANAGER DIRECTION. YEAH. AND SO DID COUNCIL. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. SO WE'RE WE'RE GOOD WITH HOW IT IS NOW. I'VE BEEN FAMILIAR WITH HOW IT IS WITH THE LIKE 10 OR 14 DAYS AFTER COMPLETING THIS REVIEW IN MARTIN COUNTY, BECAUSE I'VE WORKED THERE AND ON BOTH SIDES, WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT WE NEED TO DO AT THIS POINT. WE ARE I THINK WE GOT BIGGER FISH TO FRY, BUT ARE THEY PUTTING UP THE SIGNS LIKE PUTTING UP THE SIGNS? WE CAN'T DO THE PUBLIC HEARINGS. THEY HAVE TO PUT THEM UP. WE'RE USING A PROFESSIONAL SIGN COMPANY. WHEN I SAY WE THE VILLAGE, WE WENT FROM BASIC SIGNAGE TO MORE CLEAR, NOT JUST HANDWRITTEN. AND THE APPLICANT IS WE'RE WORKING. LUCIA WORKS WITH THE APPLICANT AND THE SIGN COMPANY, AND WE MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THEM POSTED SO THAT THEY GIVE THE CORRECT NOTICE, OR ELSE WE WOULDN'T BE SHOWING UP FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CORRECTLY SIGNED. OKAY. AND THEY HAVE TO SIGN AN AFFIDAVIT THAT CONFIRMS THAT THEY MET THE CODE REQUIREMENTS. WE'RE ON IT BASICALLY. IN SHORT. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY

[ANNOUNCEMENTS]

AND IT'S GOING TO BE. YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL OKAY. OKAY. IF THERE'S NO MORE
