[Presentation of Certification for Completion of Apprenticeship Program to Ivan Campos the Village of Indiantown Wastewater Manager, presented by Katherine Van Zant, PE with Florida Rural Water Association.]

ANY MODIFICATIONS PULLED ITEMS. NO. NO SIR. OKAY, OKAY. PRESENTATION OF CERTIFICATION FOR COMPLETION OF APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM. IVAN. IVAN, FOR THE RECORD, PAT NOLAN.

BUT I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE REPRESENTING THE FLORIDA RURAL ASSOCIATION. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. AS PAT JUST MENTIONED, THIS PROGRAM, MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT IT'S ITS INTENT IS TO TRAIN OPERATORS TO BE CERTIFIED. CERTAINLY THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTINUE TO OPERATE A PLANT UNLESS YOU'RE A STATE CERTIFIED.

BUT WE'D LIKE TO GO A LITTLE BIT BEYOND THAT. AND INSTRUCT, TEACH OUR STUDENTS, OUR APPRENTICES. THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE NATIONAL PROGRAM. IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU KNOW, AS LEADERS IN THIS FIELD, IT TAKES A LOT TO BE GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO AS A WATER OPERATOR, WASTEWATER OPERATOR, IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO TO THE PUBLIC THEIR HEALTH AND SAFETY, TO THE ENVIRONMENT, THE HEALTH OF THE ENVIRONMENT. SO THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO IT. BEING ABLE TO PASS AN EXAM. WHAT I BRING TO THE PROGRAM IS NOT JUST MY PASSION, BUT MY KNOWLEDGE. I'M A WASTEWATER OPERATOR WHO HAPPENS TO ALSO BE A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER. I'M ALSO A FORMER UTILITIES DIRECTOR, SO I BRING ALL OF THAT INTO MY INSTRUCTIONS. SO THE LEARNING, THE THE KNOWLEDGE OF WASTEWATER OPERATIONS IS ONE THING. I ALSO IMPART UPON THEM ALL OF THE QUALITIES THAT I'VE SEEN THROUGH MY 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, WHAT IT TAKES TO REALLY BE GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO AND, AND, AND AND GIVE BACK TO THE TO SOCIETY, GIVE BACK IN TERMS OF YOUR ABILITY TO MANAGE OTHERS. BECAUSE HOPEFULLY THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS YOU'LL TAKE OUT OF THE COURSE. IT'S A TWO YEAR PROGRAM. IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO SPEND ALL THAT TWO YEARS STUDYING TO PASS AN EXAM. WE'D LIKE TO IMPART ADDITIONAL QUALITY. SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO BRING BRING UP IVAN AND PROVIDE HIM WITH THE CERTIFICATION WHICH HE DESERVED.

WELL DESERVED. IN IN ADDITION TO BEING A PART OF THE COURSE AS A STUDENT AND APPRENTICE,

[00:05:01]

IVAN WAS ONE OF THOSE FEW LEADERS. HE'S ALREADY A LEADER IN THE COURSE, RIGHT? HIS THE WAY HE COMPORTS HIMSELF, THE WAY HE SPEAKS, EVERYTHING SHOWS THAT HE'S GOING TO. HE HAS A VERY GOOD FUTURE AHEAD OF HIM. AND I'M SURE I DON'T HAVE TO SAY THAT YOU WORK WITH HIM EVERY DAY. I'M MERELY HERE. I WAS MERELY THERE TO ENHANCE THOSE ABILITIES AND BRING THEM OUT. SO HE HE NOT HIS PRESENCE WAS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN THE COURSE BECAUSE FOR THE OTHER STUDENTS, THE OTHER APPRENTICES, WE HAD A TOTAL OF ABOUT 15, 14, 14 OR 15. HE BROUGHT HIS LEADERSHIP QUALITY THERE TO SHOW THE OTHER STUDENTS THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN DO IT. I CAN IF I CAN DO IT, IF I EVEN CAN DO IT, ALL OF YOU CAN DO IT. YOU SIMPLY NEED TO APPLY YOURSELF. AND I'M GIVING YOU THE TOOLS. I'M GIVING YOU THE EXAMPLE. IVAN WAS ONE OF THE EXAMPLES. HE WAS ABLE TO BRING FORTH A LOT OF HIS PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE. AND IT'S NOT ONE WAY.

I'M NOT THE ONE INSTRUCTING ONLY I. I LEARN A LOT AS WELL. I'M A LIFELONG LEARNER. I'LL NEVER STOP LEARNING UNTIL I REACH SIX FEET UNDERGROUND. I'LL KEEP LEARNING. AND THESE GUYS, I LEARNED SO MANY, SO MUCH FROM THEM. SO THE PARTICIPATION WAS HUGE. WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO PRESENT THIS CERTIFICATION. HAD CATHERINE BEEN ABLE TO BE HERE, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE PROPERLY PRESENTED. THIS IS THE CERTIFICATE ALONE, BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FRAMED. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, SHE HAD A FAMILY EMERGENCY 100%. WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THE FRAMING. YEAH. FRAME FOR YOU. SO, IVAN, THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT IVAN CAMPOS HAS COMPLETED AN APPRENTICESHIP FOR THE OCCUPATION OF WASTEWATER SYSTEM OPERATOR UNDER THE SPONSORSHIP OF THE FLORIDA RURAL WATER ASSOCIATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STANDARDS OF APPRENTICESHIP APPRENTICESHIP ESTABLISHED BY THE OFFICE OF APPRENTICESHIP. THIS IS THE NATIONAL OFFICE. I PRESENT THIS TO YOU ON BEHALF OF THE FR WHO. AND IVAN. YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS? SURE. THEN WE'RE GOING TO MAKE YOU TAKE A PICTURE. YEAH. AS MUCH AS I KNOW YOU ENJOY THIS. YES, YES, YES, YES. I'D LIKE TO THANK THE VILLAGE FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO CLASS, PAT, FOR ASKING ME TO GO TO THE CLASS I CAME LICENSED FROM TEXAS. THEY DID NOT TRANSFER OVER. MY PLAN WAS TO EARLY ON, YOU KNOW, JUST BUCKLE DOWN AND DO IT. BUT THIS PROGRAM HELPED IMMENSELY. I CANNOT SPEAK TO HOW AWESOME THAT PROGRAM IS. RON, AS AN INSTRUCTOR, JUST EVERYTHING CLICKED. HE BRINGS PASSION TO IT, WHICH I APPRECIATED, AND IT HELPED ME A LOT. SO I'D LIKE TO THANK AGAIN THE VILLAGE AND PAT AND EVERYBODY THAT WAS INVOLVED IN IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND YOUR HARD WORK. THANK YOU. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE. YES. KEVIN AND RON AND PAT. YES. AND AND KAREN AND JUST YOU. OH, I DON'T WANT TO BE IN HERE. JUST YOU. YOU'RE JUST YOU, MIRANDA. THERE'S TOO MANY OF US. YOU GO UP THERE, WE'RE GOOD. COME ON, COME ON. THE FRAME IS ON ITS WAY. YEAH. TERENCE SAYING SHE HAS TO GO. WE HAVE. WE HAVE TO GO. SIT DOWN. I WANT. TO. I THINK ONE THING TO REMEMBER.

[PUBLIC COMMENT (3 MINUTES EACH)]

COMMENTS? YES, SIR. MISS KATERINA CASTANEDA. OKAY, WELCOME. HI, MISS LAURA, JUST DOWN. OKAY. ALRIGHTY. SO MY NAME IS KATERINA CASTANEDA. I'M REPRESENTING TEAM U13, WHICH IS MAINLY HERE. SO I SENT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU AN EMAIL. I WILL READ THAT EMAIL. WE TEAM

[00:10:09]

U13 WOULD LIKE TO RESPECTFULLY CLARIFY OUR TEAM'S SITUATION IN REGARDS TO THE CURRENT FIELD USAGE POLICY. OUR TEAM IS COMPETITIVE IN NATURE. HOWEVER, OUR COACH SERVES ENTIRELY ON A VOLUNTEER BASE AND RECEIVES NO FORM OF PAY FROM PLAYERS, PARENTS, OR THE PROGRAM ITSELF.

ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT GUIDELINES, WE UNDERSTAND THAT A SEPARATE PERMIT ARE REQUIRED WHEN A COACH OR TRAINER IS COMPENSATED, AS OUR COACH IS NOT COMPENSATED IN ANY WAY, WE BELIEVE OUR TEAM MEETS THE CRITERIA TO CONTINUE USING THE FIELD UNDER THE RECREATION USE PROVISION INTENDED FOR VOLUNTEER LEAD PROGRAMS. ADDITIONALLY, WE BELIEVE WE ARE NOT THE ONLY TEAM OR ORGANIZATION CURRENTLY CURRENTLY USING THE FIELD. IF OTHER GROUPS HAVE BEEN GRANTED ACCESS UNDER THE SAME OR SIMILAR CONDITIONS, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST CLARIFICATION ON WHETHER THOSE TEAMS ARE IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICY. IF THEY ARE, WE WOULD APPRECIATE EVIDENCE OF THIS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE CONSISTENT APPLICATION OF THE RULES AND TO ENSURE THAT NO FAVORITISM OR PERSONAL BIAS IS INFLUENCED, WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE OUR CONCERNS REGARDING FIELD CONDITIONS. WE, ALONG WITH OTHER TEAMS, HAVE NOTICED THAT THE FIELDS APPEAR TO BE POORLY MAINTENANCE. THIS AFFECTS NOT ONLY THE QUALITY OF PLAY, BUT ALSO THE SAFETY AND EXPERIENCE OF THE PLAYERS. COULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE INFORMATION ON WHAT MAINTENANCE IS CURRENTLY BEING DONE? OUR PROGRAM PROVIDES MEANINGFUL BENEFITS TO YOUTH AND THE BROADER COMMUNITY, PROMOTING TEAMWORK, DISCIPLINE, SPORTSMANSHIP AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLES. WE ARE. WE ARE COMMITTED TO CREATING A SAFE AND POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR PLAYERS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

FOR THIS REASON, WE CURRENTLY REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT IN ALLOWING OUR TEAM TO CONTINUE PRACTICING AND COMPETING THE RECREATION USE POLICY. WE HOPE OUR CONCERNS REGARDING EQUITABLE ACCESS AND FIELD MAINTENANCE CAN BE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? MISS LINDA NICCUM. OKAY. THANK DIFFERENT A LITTLE BIT. FOR THE RECORD, LINDA NICCUM, I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT SOCCER ITEMS ON THE AGENDA EVERY MEETING SO WE CAN FILL UP THESE CHAIRS LIKE THIS. THIS IS GREAT. THIS WILL BE THE SHORTEST THREE MINUTES YOU'LL EVER GET FROM ME. YOU ALL RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM ME STATING MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE PURCHASE OF THE LOTS. CONSIDER THAT MY THREE MINUTE SPIEL. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THAT'S IT.

MAYOR. ANYBODY ELSE? NO, SIR. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE ANY COMMITTEE REPORTS? NO COMMENTS

[COMMENTS BY VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS]

BY VILLAGE COUNCIL MEMBERS. OKAY. VICE MAYOR, GO AHEAD. SO REGARDING INDIAN TOWN WARS, I WAS WONDERING IF WE CAN ASK. I'M ASKING MY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO MAKE THAT CONSIDERATION.

THIS LITTLE TRAVEL TEAM, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN THEM EXCEL THE LAST THIS PAST SEASON THEY WERE A RECREATIONAL TEAM, BUT THEY WERE THEY WERE BEATING THE TEAMS 11 ZERO, 12 ZERO. THEIR COMPETITION, YOU KNOW, SOCCER IS IS IN OUR NATURE, AS THEY SAY. BUT THIS THIS PAST FRIDAY, I MET WITH MISS DEBBIE AND SHE INFORMED ME THAT ACCORDING TO HER YOUTH SPORTS AGREEMENT, WE, SINCE THEY ARE LABELED A COMPETITIVE TEAM, THAT THEY WOULD START BEING THEY HAVE TO PAY THE FIELD USAGE FEE. SO I'VE ASKED THE ONE TEAM THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE SERVING UNDER COMPETITIVE TO COME TO TONIGHT AND EXPRESS THEIR CONCERNS. SO I'M ASKING MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS, IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN LOOK AT THE YOUTH SPORTS PROVIDER AGREEMENT AND MAKE MODIFICATIONS? ALL WE'RE ASKING IS THEY THEY WANT TO CONTINUE PLAYING AT A HIGHER LEVEL. OUR COACH, HE'S A VOLUNTEER. AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE LOSING OUR VOLUNTEERS IN INDIAN TOWN. IT'S THE SAME PEOPLE HECTOR HAS BEEN WITH, WITH THE CLUB SINCE THE BEGINNING WHEN WE FORMED IT, WHEN I SAID, HEY, HECTOR, YOU YOU WANT TO COME HELP? WE WANT TO FORM A CLUB OUT HERE. SURE. WHY NOT? BUT I SEE HIS DEDICATION AND I SEE THE PARENTS, THEIR SUPPORT. I SAID THEY THEY HAVE A GOOD GROUP OF KIDDOS. I WHEN I SEE THEM OUT

[00:15:03]

THERE PRACTICING, THEY HAVE A WILL. SO I'M JUST ASKING IF WE ABLE, WHAT CAN WE DO AS COUNCIL MEMBERS TO HELP THEM CONTINUE USING THE FIELD? OKAY, I HAVE A QUESTION. I'M NOT SURE WHERE YOU GUYS WHERE THEY PLAY AT, BUT I I'VE HAD SOME CONCERNS FROM OTHER RESIDENTS THAT THAT THEY, THEY DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY WHEN, WHEN THEY'VE ASKED COULD THEY PARTICIPATE? I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS WHAT YOU GUYS ARE, ARE THE OTHER TEAMS. BUT THEY WERE TOLD NO, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT WHEN THEY COME. LIKE I PUT OUT MY YARD SIGNS. SORRY DEBBIE, I GOT IT REMOVED. THE ONE AT PARKS. BUT YOU KNOW, WE TYPICALLY REGISTRATION OPENS MID-JULY.

LIKE FOR THEM THEY'RE THEY'RE A TRAVEL TEAM. SO THEY'VE THEY'VE BEEN TOGETHER I WANT TO SAY TWO YEARS ROUGHLY TWO YEARS. SO THAT TEAM THEY'VE ADDED A COUPLE THIS SEASON OKAY. BUT TYPICALLY RECREATIONAL WE OPEN REGISTRATION MID-JULY. BUT IF YOU'RE COMING AT ME IN OCTOBER, IT'S LATE. I WILL TELL YOU, HEY, JOIN US IN JANUARY. I SEE, BUT IT'S UP TO THE PARENTS TO FOLLOW UP. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE THE ONES THAT REALLY, REALLY WANT TO PLAY AND THE ONES LIKE I DON'T WANT TO COMMIT. IT'S THAT COMMITMENT. YOU KNOW, TWO NIGHTS TRAINING GAME SATURDAY YOU'RE GOING TO PALM CITY, YOU'RE GOING TO JENSEN. IT'S IT ENTAILS THAT LITTLE TRAVEL. BUT SOME PARENTS DO HAVE THE WILL AND SOME DON'T. I'M SURE IF I COULD POSSIBLY RATHER THAN RESPOND TO TO PUBLIC COMMENT AND GET KIND OF DEEP INTO THE FACTS HERE, THE VILLAGE COUNCIL HAS CREATED A PARK AND REC ADVISORY BOARD, AND IF THEY'RE ASKING TO HAVE THE POLICY EITHER REDONE OR BETTER EXPLAINED OR REVISITED AND THE FEES, I THINK I WOULD OFFER THAT THAT GROUP WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THAT FULLY VETTED BY THE REPRESENTATIVES THAT YOU'VE CHOSEN TO BE ON THERE, AND THEN THEY CAN COME AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS. THAT'S WHAT THESE COMMITTEES ARE FOR. THAT'S JUST THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. WE HAVE A COMMITTEE FOR THAT, AND I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING. SO WE'RE ALL THINKING THE SAME THING. SO I GUESS WE CAN GIVE DIRECTION TO. MISS RIZZO'S TO CONVENE YOUR BOARD TOGETHER. AND. SEE IF WE CAN RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS. WELL, I DO WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT THAT. THAT THE FEES GO TO MAINTAIN THE FIELDS. SO WE HAVE A BALANCE BETWEEN YOUR TWO CONCERNS. KEEPING THE FIELDS MAINTAINED WITHOUT BRINGING IN THE FEES IS DIFFICULT. HOW MUCH IS THEIR FEE? NO, NO WE'RE NOT MA'AM. WE DON'T GO BACK AND FORTH. I'M SORRY. SO SO IT'S IT'S WE'VE GOT TO WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A POLICY WHERE FEES COME IN FOR FIELD USAGE SO THAT WE CAN THEN MAINTAIN THE FIELDS. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT. HOW WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT BALANCE. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T JUST PROVIDE THE FIELDS WITH NOTHING AND THEN EXPECT THEM TO BE MAINTAINED. SO ARE WE GOING TO HAVE VOLUNTEER MAINTENANCE BY THE TEAMS THAT USE THE FIELDS? AND THEY'RE USING OUR FIELDS? ARE WE GOING TO YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO IS WHAT I'M SAYING IS IT'S GOT IT'S GOT TO BE A BALANCE. FEES MUST COME IN IN ORDER TO PAY FOR MAINTAINING THE FIELDS. IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. SO I LOVE THAT THE KIDS PLAY. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THEY SPEND A TON OF MONEY ON UNIFORMS, AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S EXPENSIVE FOR THE KIDS AND THE FAMILIES TO TO PLAY. BUT WE STILL NEED TO CHARGE FEES FOR OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE IN PLACE. WHEN SHE WHEN SHE BROUGHT ALL THESE CONCERNS UP, I'M LIKE, I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE FEE SCHEDULE FOR THAT. BUT I KNOW THAT ELIMINATING FEES MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. SO IF YOU COULD LET THE ADVISORY BOARD TELL US WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. YEAH. I'D LIKE TO SAY WHAT DISTURBS ME IN THAT THAT EMAIL IS THE FACT THAT IT WAS STATED THAT THE FIELDS YOU FEEL ARE UNSAFE. WE NEED TO CHECK THE FIELDS TO SEE IF THEY'RE UNSAFE BECAUSE IF THEY'RE UNSAFE, WE NEED TO CLOSE THEM. WE DON'T NEED ANYBODY GETTING HURT. WE DON'T NEED THAT LIABILITY. SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THEY'RE UNSAFE. SO IF YOU COULD LET US KNOW AND AN EMAIL OR A TEXT OR WHATEVER. WELL WHAT I WOULD LIKE IF THERE'S SOMETHING

[00:20:07]

UNSAFE, YOU'RE CORRECT. WE NEED TO CLOSE IT. BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS THE PRAB AND AND MISS RIZZO'S AND HER TEAM TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK WITH A FULL AGENDA. ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING. YEAH. YES. THANK YOU. THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO. OKAY. SO WHEN SHOULD WE EXPECT TO HAVE A REPORT BACK? ADVISORY BOARD MEETING AGAIN? OCTOBER. SHE SAYS THAT THE PARK AND REC ADVISORY BOARD WILL MEET AGAIN ON OCTOBER 7TH, BUT SHE CAN ALSO REACH OUT AND SEE IF THEY COULD DO IT SOONER. OKAY, OKAY, OKAY. THAT'LL BE GOOD. AND AND ONE JUST ONE THING IN SAYING THAT IF PEOPLE ARE PLAYING ON THE FIELD, WHO GAVE A IF THE FIELDS ARE NOT SAFE OR UNSAFE, WHO GAVE THEM PERMISSION TO PLAY ON THE FIELD? WELL, SOMETIMES THEY JUMP THE FENCE. OH OKAY. WELL ALL RIGHT. YEAH. SO WE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SKATE PARK. THE SKATE PARK WAS DEEMED TO BE NOT SAFE. WE CLOSED IT AND KIDS STILL JUMPED THE FENCE. ARE WE FINDING PEOPLE FOR DOING STUFF LIKE THAT? WELL, WE DON'T CATCH THEM, YOU KNOW? I MEAN, WE DO NOW HAVE A CAMERA AT THE PARKS. OKAY. BUT AND THEN WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE WHO THEY ARE. AND SO WE, WE ENGAGE DEPUTY LOOP OUT THERE TO HELP US SEE IF HE CAN IDENTIFY SOME OF THESE CULPRITS. AND, AND HE'LL HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? YES. I ASKED AT OUR LAST MEETING ABOUT THE FAMILY POST-FAMILY PARK. DID WE GET IN TOUCH WITH FPNL? DEBBIE, FOR THE RECORD, YES, I DID REACH OUT TO FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT AGAIN, AND THEY PROMISED ME THEY WERE ESCALATING THE TICKET. I'M GOING THERE AFTER WE LEAVE HERE TONIGHT TO SEE IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME. ON C 27TH, WHICH IS THE LAST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH, WE ARE HAVING OUR COMMUNITY CLEANUP FROM 7 A.M. UNTIL ABOUT 11. WE'RE USUALLY DONE BY TEN. WE'RE DOING DOWNTOWN, UPTOWN, THIS SIDE OF THE TRACK. HOWEVER YOU WANT TO SAY IT, WE'RE MEETING AT POST-FAMILY PARK AT 7 A.M. TO START CLEANING UP OUR COMMUNITY. SO IF YOU CAN COME, PLEASE COME AND JOIN US. IF YOU SAY YOU YOU DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY TO DO THAT, YOU CAN HELP US WITH REGISTRATION. YOU CAN PASS OUT WATER. YOU CAN SIT AND TELL CORNY JOKES IF YOU LIKE. AS LONG AS THE WORK GETS DONE, WE'RE GOOD. THE NIGHT THE FRIDAY BEFORE TEARING. IS THIS CORRECT? THE FRIDAY BEFORE WE PUT OUR THINGS OUT AND THEY WILL PICK THE WASTE MANAGEMENT WILL PICK UP ALL ITEMS THAT ARE OUTSIDE THURSDAY NIGHT. BEFORE THEN THEY DO THE CLAM TRUCK.

YES, ON THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE. THANK YOU. I PUT IT ON FRIDAY. SORRY. THE THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE CLEANUP. IF YOU PUT EVERYTHING OUT ON THE STREET, ON THE CURB, THEY WILL PICK IT UP. WASTE MANAGEMENT WILL PICK IT UP WITH THE CLAM TRUCK. SO PUT IT OUT THE NIGHT BEFORE NIGHT. THE MORNING OF TO DO DUE DILIGENCE FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY IN THE BACK. CAN WE PLEASE ASK KIMBERLY HORN TO DO A STRUCTURAL REVIEW OF THIS BUILDING? AS PART OF THE DUE DILIGENCE FOR THE PROPERTY BEHIND US? YES, WE CAN DO THAT. THANK YOU MA'AM. THE LAST ONE I INVITED JEFF LESLIE TO THE MEETING ON THE 25TH. JEFF LESLIE WAS THE PRESIDENT OF JUPITER TEQUESTA YOUTH SPORT ASSOCIATION FOR ABOUT NINE YEARS, AND I'M HOPING THAT HE COULD GIVE US SOME IDEAS AND SOME STARTS AND SUGGESTIONS AS WELL. FOR OUR SPORTING TEAM.

WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT OUR KIDS ARE OUR FUTURE, AND WE GOT TO GET SOMETHING FOR THE KIDS.

AND WE'VE BEEN SAYING THAT AND SAYING THAT, BUT WE'RE NOT MAKING MUCH STRIFE. SO I'M HOPING HE CAN GIVE SOME IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS. WHEN, BEFORE THE COMMITTEE WAS FORMED, THE PARKS AND REC COMMITTEE WAS FORMED. JEFF LESLIE CAME TO ONE OF THE MEETINGS THAT WE HAD IN THE BACK, AND HIS INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE WAS QUITE EYE OPENING FOR ME, AND I THINK HE CAN HELP US OUT WITH THAT. SO I INVITED HIM ON THE 25TH TO SPEAK, AND I THINK THAT IS IT FOR ME IF HE'S GOING TO COME HERE ON THE 25TH, I THINK WE OUGHT TO HAVE THE OUR, OUR ADVISORY BOARD HERE. CAN YOU SEE IF YOU CAN GET THEM HERE? INVITE THEM TO INVITE THE ADVISORY BOARD TO COME TO THE MEETING. SEPTEMBER 25TH SEPTEMBER 6TH 3630. YES. YEAH, BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO GET THAT SAME JEFF LESLIE ALSO WAS SUPPOSED TO. I'M SORRY. NO,

[00:25:01]

THAT'S FINE, BUT LET'S, LET'S THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD THING. BUT LET'S GET THE, THE THE BOARD HERE BECAUSE I THINK THAT THEY WOULD GET A WHOLE LOT OUT OF THAT. OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OKAY. GO AHEAD. I JUST WANT TO THANK THE UTILITIES GUYS I EARLY SUNDAY MORNING MY KID WALKS IN. HE'S LIKE MOM WE DON'T HAVE WATER. AND I'M LIKE, WHAT? OKAY. AND THEN I REMEMBERED I'M LIKE, LET ME CALL PAT. AND I'M LIKE, PAT, DID SOMETHING HAPPEN OR WAS I JUST HALLUCINATING? AND NO, HE HE HE TOLD US THAT THERE WAS A LEAK ON YALAHA. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR TAKING LEAD AND MAKING SURE YOU YOU FIXED THE ISSUE. I KNOW YOU JUST PUT A BAND-AID ON IT, BUT BUT THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I KNOW IT WAS SUNDAY MORNING, AND I KNOW EVERYONE HAS LIVES, BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR CREW FOR GETTING

[COMMENTS BY VILLAGE MANAGER]

THAT ISSUE FIXED. AWESOME. OKAY. COMMENTS BY VILLAGE MANAGER. NO, I'M GOOD, THANK YOU. NO, I WANT TO THANK PAT'S TEAM TOO. AND AND GETTING ON THAT BREAK, IT WAS A MAJOR BREAK AND WE'RE GOING TO UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS A THERE WAS A STORM. THE ELECTRICITY WENT OFF. AND WHEN IT CAME BACK ON THERE WAS A SURGE AND THE PRESSURE WAS TOO MUCH FOR THE PIPES AND THEY EXPLODED. WOW. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. APPROVAL OF AGENDA. I HAVE A MOTION. I MOVE THAT WE SET THE

[1) APPROVAL OF AGENDA]

AGENDA. MICROPHONE OKAY. MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN WILLIAMS. PALMER. DO WE DO THAT? SECOND BY I SECOND. SECOND BY COUNCILWOMAN WATERS. BROWN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. THAT'S

[2) APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA]

UNANIMOUSLY APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA. WE HAVE A MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION BY COUNCILMAN, SECOND BY SECOND COUNCILWOMAN PALMER. WILLIAMS. PALMER. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OKAY.

[3) Authorization and Approval by the Village Council to Enter into an Agreement with Carr, Riggs & Ingram, L.L.C. for Professional Accounting Consulting and Financial Analysis Services ]

AUTHORIZATION. TO ENTER AGREEMENT WITH CAR RIGGINGS. I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE ALL RIGHT.

NO, NO, IT'S ACTUALLY MR. FLORIO. THIS IS MR. FLORIO'S ITEM. AS YOU'VE HEARD. MR. FLORIO EXPLAIN THIS THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS AS WELL. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM TO SEEK SOME OUTSIDE HELP, IF YOU WILL, FROM CARL RIGGS AND INGRAM LLC, WHICH IS AN ACCOUNTING FIRM THAT IS HERE IN IN LOCAL. AND MR. FLORIO HAS A RELATIONSHIP ALREADY ESTABLISHED WITH THEM.

SO HE WOULD LIKE TO BRING THEM IN TO GIVE HIM AN EXTRA HAND, PARTICULARLY RELATING TO PROJECTS AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT. RIGHT, MIKE. YEAH, YEAH, EXACTLY. THIS AGREEMENT I THINK WILL SERVE MULTITUDE OF HELP FOR US. THE MAIN IMPETUS ON WHY I'M REQUESTING THIS IS OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, OUR $44 MILLION WASTEWATER, $12.6 MILLION SRF CONSTRUCTION LOAN, 33.1 MILLION DEEP INJECTION WELL, FLORIDA OIL FIELD. SO WE HAVE A LOT OF CAPITAL ASSET ACCOUNTING, REPORTING AND GRANTS COMPLIANCE. THAT IS GOING TO BE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT OVER THE NEXT, YOU KNOW, COUPLE OF YEARS, FEW YEARS. AND I REALLY AM FALLING BEHIND ON BEING ABLE TO EVALUATE THE THE CAPITAL ASSET CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND THE THE ASSETS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING AND THAT NEED TO BE DEPRECIATED AND MAINTAINED SUBSEQUENT TO THESE ASSETS BECOMING OPERATIONAL. AND THEY'RE GOING TO REALLY HELP ME, I THINK, WITH THAT, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP THAT ON PACE AND KEEP THE GL UPDATED. AND SO THAT'S REALLY THE BIGGEST REASON. THERE'S OTHER STUFF THAT ARE COMING, IS COMING DOWN THE ROAD RELATED TO CHANGES IN SOME GASB PRONOUNCEMENTS AND SOME UPDATES TO OUR FINANCIAL REPORTS THAT I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH THEM IN GETTING THOSE IMPLEMENTED AND EVALUATING SOME OTHER THINGS WITHIN THE VILLAGE AS WELL, REGARDING SOME TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS AND EFFICIENCIES, AND HOW WE CAN BETTER UTILIZE TYLER SOFTWARE AND ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS THAT WE CAN PLUG INTO THAT. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE TRY TO STAY AS TECH, TECH SAVVY AND TECH ADVANCED AS WE CAN TO WHILE THE VILLAGE IS STILL SMALL, AND MAKE UTILIZATION OF THOSE THOSE SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATIONS. SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY THE THE BULK OF IT. BUT IT'S THEY WILL THEY WILL BE VERY HELPFUL. MOST OF THEIR SERVICES THAT WE WILL BE UTILIZING, PARTICULARLY WITH THE CAPITAL ASSETS, WILL BE FUNDED BY GRANTS. I DO HAVE SOME MONEY PROPOSED IN MY BUDGET IS MY OPERATING BUDGET AS WELL, BUT I WOULD SAY PROBABLY HALF TO TWO THIRDS OF THE MONEY IS GOING TO BE GRANT FUNDED. YEAH. AWESOME. OKAY. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. YOUR MIC. SORRY, SORRY. PUBLIC COMMENT.

[00:30:01]

OH, GEEZ. I WANT TO. NO SIR. ALRIGHT. COUNCIL, ARE YOU READY? OH, I'M SORRY, I WAS OUT OF ORDER. Y'ALL FORGIVE ME, OKAY. I HAVE OKAY. BECAUSE WE JUST DID THE BUDGET, SO I'M JUST HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO COST? AND I KNOW YOU SAID IT'S GOING TO BE GOING TO BE FUNDED BY GRANTS.

AND I WOULD SAY THE MAJORITY OF IT IS GOING TO BE PART OF OUR EXISTING GRANTS THAT WE HAVE ON THE BOOKS. YEAH. SO IN MY BUDGET FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, I THINK I HAVE 125 K.

OKAY. AND IT'S IN THE BUDGET. YEAH, YEAH. ALL RIGHT. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. THANK YOU.

YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? NO, I HAVE A MOTION. I MAKE A MOTION. WE ACCEPT IT. OH. OH, YOU MAKE A MOTION? NO, I JUST DID. FILM IS WHAT IS. WHAT IS BROWN? WHAT IS BROWN? MOTION MADE BY COUNCILWOMAN WATERS. BROWN, SECOND BY SECOND. THERE YOU GO, VICE MAYOR PEREZ. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. PASS UNANIMOUSLY. FIRST TIME TONIGHT? YEAH. OKAY. NEXT

[4) A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN, FLORIDA, DESIGNATING AN ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY TO RECEIVE, REVIEW, AND PROCESS PLAT AND REPLAT SUBMITTALS AND AN ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIAL RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROVING, APPROVING WITH CONDITIONS, OR DENYING PROPOSED PLATS AND REPLATS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 177.071, FLORIDA STATUTES (2025); AND PROVIDING FOR FINDINGS, IMPLEMENTING ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.]

IS RESOLUTION. VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN. VILLAGE COUNCIL OF VILLAGE. OF INDIAN TOWN.

DESIGNATED ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY RECEIVED REVIEW PROCESS PLANT REPLAT. THAT WOULD BE. THAT WOULD BE FOR ME, WADE WOULDN'T IT? THAT'S RIGHT. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THIS ITEM IS A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL, THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, FLORIDA, DESIGNATING AN ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY TO RECEIVE REVIEW AND PROCESS PLAT AND REPLAT SUBMITTALS, AND AN ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIAL RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROVING, APPROVING WITH CONDITIONS OR DENYING PROPOSED PLATS AND REPLANTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 177 .071, FLORIDA STATUTES 2025, AND PROVIDING FOR FINDINGS IMPLEMENTING ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. COUNCIL MEMBERS. GOOD EVENING. THIS ITEM IS.

IT'S KIND OF A TECHNICAL MATTER, SOMETHING THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO UNDER NEW LAW THAT WAS PASSED EARLIER THIS YEAR, SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR AND TOOK EFFECT IN JULY. AND BASICALLY WHAT THIS NEW LAW DOES IS REQUIRE THAT PLAT AND REPLAT SUBMITTALS HAVE TO BE ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED. YOU ALL HAVE SEEN PLATS WHEN THEY'VE COME THROUGH BEFORE PRIOR TO THIS NEW LAW. SB 784, THE RELEVANT FLORIDA STATUTES FOR ABOUT 100 YEARS REQUIRED THAT PLATS BE APPROVED BY THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE JURISDICTION OF A CITY OR TOWN OR VILLAGE, OR OF THE COUNTY BEFORE IT'S RECORDED. THIS NEW LAW CHANGES THAT AND PROVIDES THAT PLATS OR REPLANTS HAVE TO BE ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED AND SPECIFICALLY SAYS DOESN'T GO TO THE GOVERNING BODY. OKAY. AND SO WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES AND ACTUALLY INTERESTINGLY, ALLOWS YOU TO DO EITHER BY RESOLUTION OR ORDINANCE, IS DESIGNATE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY THAT IS GOING TO RECEIVE THE PLAT SUBMITTALS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIAL WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROVING OR APPROVING WITH CONDITIONS OR DENYING THE PLAT. OKAY, WHAT THIS RESOLUTION DOES, AND THIS IS KIND OF A TEMPORARY MEASURE. THE STATUTE CONTEMPLATED THIS EXPLICITLY. ORDINARILY, WHEN WE'RE FOOLING AROUND WITH YOUR LAND USE RULES, WE'D BE BRINGING AN ORDINANCE THAT AMENDS THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. OKAY. THE STATUTE SPECIFICALLY SAYS YOU DESIGNATE IT BY RESOLUTION OR ORDINANCE. THE CLEANER, LONG TERM WAY IS WE GOT TO GO THROUGH AND DO SOME ADDITIONAL SURGERY IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS TO ACTUALLY SAY, YEAH, IT'S NOT GOING TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL ANYMORE AND THIS AND THAT. BUT THE STATUTE EXPRESSLY SAYS YOU CAN DO IT BY RESOLUTION TO GET IT DONE IN THE SHORT TERM.
