[Public Works & Utilities Update Presentation presented by Patrick Nolan.]
OKAY. PERFECT. OKAY. NEXT, WE GOT PAT FROM PAT NOLAN FROM PUBLIC WORKS. HE'S GOING TO GIVE US A PRESENTATION AND UPDATE. WELCOME. GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR THE RECORD, PAT NOLAN, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES. OKAY, I'M HERE BEFORE YOU TO GIVE YOU A PRESENTATION ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE DOING IN PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES.FIRST SLIDE WE'VE GOT AS PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS. YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS BEFORE, SO I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF. I'VE GOT THE UPTOWN ROADWAY AND DRAINAGE PROJECT. THAT WAS BASICALLY A DESIGN PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED. WE WERE ABLE TO GET A GRANT FROM FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THAT. HOPEFULLY, WE'LL BE ABLE TO TAKE SOME OF THE PLANS THAT WE HAD PUT TOGETHER AND PUT THEM TO USE IN THE FUTURE. SECOND ON THE LIST IS SOUTHWEST LINCOLN STREET ROADWAY DRAINAGE PROJECT. THAT IS A PROJECT THAT WE RECEIVED FUNDING AGAIN FROM FLORIDA DOT. THAT IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE OVER IN LINCOLN. THAT ROAD IS IN SOME ROUGH SHAPE. DRAINAGE NEEDS SOME WORK. SO I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH DOT TO TRY TO GET THE FUNDING SO THAT WE CAN START THAT PROJECT. SEMINOLE DRIVE PROJECT. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S FUNDED THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. IT'S A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT. WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO STARTING THAT PROJECT. I ACTUALLY HAVE A ZOOM CALL WITH DEO NEXT WEEK. WE SUBMITTED SOME PAPERWORK A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, AND WE ARE THAT CLOSE TO GETTING THE GO AHEAD TO GET THAT PROJECT STARTED. NEXT IS A ROADWAY REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE. AND BASICALLY WHAT THAT IS, IS A PROJECT THAT WE STARTED LAST YEAR FIXING THE POTHOLES THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE AND STRIPING THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE. WE COMPLETED THAT FOR LAST BUDGET YEAR. I'VE ALREADY TALKED TO THE CONTRACTOR ABOUT THE NEW YEAR. WE GAVE THEM SOME SITES THAT WE NEED TO WORK WITH.
I'M WAITING FOR A QUOTE. WE'RE GOING TO FIX AS MUCH AS WE CAN WITHIN THE BUDGET, AND ALSO STRIPE AS MUCH AS WE CAN WITHIN THE BUDGET. AND AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, HOPEFULLY YEAR THREE WE'LL DO A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPREHENSIVE WORK. THE GOAL IS TO WHEN WE FIX A ROAD, FIX THE INFRASTRUCTURE UNDER THE ROAD FIRST AND THEN FIX THE ROAD, OR WORKING TOWARDS THAT WITH THE BUDGET AND ALSO WITH OUR RESOURCES NEXT. WATER PROJECTS WATER PLANT PROJECT IS THE EXISTING WATER PLANT. WE HAVE A STATE REVOLVING FUND FUNDING IN HAND. WE'RE JUST WORKING WITH THE STATE TO RELEASE THAT MONEY. FIRST THING WE HAVE TO DO IS GO OUT TO BID WITH SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS. SO WE'RE WORKING ON A BID PROCESS, BID PACKAGE FOR THE WELLS FIRST SO THAT WE CAN REPAIR THE WELLS AND THEN ALSO. SOME OF THE TREATMENT PROCESSES. WE ALSO HAVE REACHED OUT TO SRF AND ASKED IF WE COULD START ON THE WELLS BEFORE THE BID PACKAGE IS COMPLETE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE WELLS WORKING PRESENTLY, AND WE JUST HAD ONE FAIL ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. THANKFULLY IT WAS ONLY MINOR, IT WAS ELECTRICAL AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT RUNNING IN A COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT IT'S STILL. IT'S AN EMERGENCY. WE'RE AT A POINT WHERE IT'S IT'S AN EMERGENCY. SO I'M HOPING AGAIN, I SENT PAPERWORK TO THE SRF YESTERDAY GETTING THEM TO HOPEFULLY APPROVE THAT AND LET US START AS WE'VE GOT THE CONTRACTOR, WE'RE PRETTY CONFIDENT THE CONTRACTOR WILL BE THE SAME CONTRACTOR WHEN WE PUT IT OUT TO BID, BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY TWO CONTRACTORS IN THE ENTIRE STATE THAT DOES THAT KIND OF
[00:10:04]
WORK. SO THE HOPE IS THAT WE GET THIS STARTED SOONER THAN LATER, AND THAT IS A PART OF THE BIGGER PROJECT THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE NEW R.O. PLANT, WHICH WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT IN LATER SLIDES. THE OTHER PROJECT ON OUR LIST IS A RAILROAD AVENUE WATER MAIN.YOU'VE HEARD THIS MANY TIMES BEFORE. WE HAVE 100 YEAR OLD WATER MAIN IN THE VILLAGE. IT'S KIND OF THE BACKBONE OF THE SYSTEM. WE'VE LOOKED UNDER ROCKS FOR MONEY. I WAS ACTUALLY TALKING EARLIER TODAY. WE HAD THAT ON THE SRF PACKAGE BACK IN 2022, BUT THE VILLAGE DIDN'T HAVE THE FUNDING TO PAY THE DEBT SERVICE, SO WE HAD TO DECIDE WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO WITH THE SRF MONEY. WE ACTUALLY HAD TO DROP THREE PROJECTS BECAUSE WE JUST DID NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PAY BACK THE DEBT. THAT WAS BEFORE THE NEW WATER METERS, BEFORE SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, THE RATE INCREASES AND AND SO FORTH. SO WE ARE WORKING STILL TO FIND FUNDING FOR THAT PROJECT AND WE'RE LOOKING EVERYWHERE. SO HOPEFULLY WE FIND FUNDING AND WE CAN GET THAT PROJECT DONE. NEXT ONE IS A 12 INCH WATER MAIN LOOPING PROJECT. I CAN SAY THAT THAT PROJECT IS DONE PHYSICALLY. THE PROJECT IS COMPLETE. I'LL BE BEFORE YOU IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO, HOPEFULLY WITH THE COMPLETE PACKAGE SO WE CAN BUTTON IT UP. WE ARE UNDER BUDGET. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH, BUT WE DID NOT GO OVER BUDGET. WE ARE UNDER BUDGET BUT PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT. BUT THAT PROJECT IS COMPLETE AND IT JUST ADDS AN EXTRA. WE DID. WE FOUND AN ISSUE WHEN WE WERE DOING THAT PROJECT OVER IN BOOKER PARK. WE HAD SOME ISSUES IN BOOKER PARK ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND WE FOUND OUT IT WAS ONE VALVE THAT SHUT OFF ALL OF BOOKER PARK, BECAUSE THERE WAS A WATER MAIN THAT HAD NEVER BEEN REPAIRED ON THE UPPER SIDE OVER BY RAILROAD. SO AS PART OF THIS 12 INCH WATER MAIN LOOPING PROJECT, WE'RE ABLE TO INCORPORATE AN EXTRA PROJECT TO RECONNECT UP ON THE UPPER SIDE. AND WE WERE STILL UNDER BUDGET, BUT NOW WE HAVE BETTER SUPPLY TO BOOKER PARK. BUT WE ALSO HAVE ADDED CONTROL SO THAT WE HAVE ISSUES OVER THERE. WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD OUT OF WATER. WE CAN FEED FROM BOTH SIDES NOW. SO THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A BONUS TO THAT PROJECT THAT WE HADN'T PLANNED. 151ST AND OSCEOLA STREET WATER MAIN PROJECT THAT IS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD OVER HERE. A LOT OF THE WATER MAINS ARE IN THE BACKYARDS. SO THIS PROJECT, SPECIFICALLY THE WATER MAIN, IS A TWO INCH GALVANIZED MAIN. SO THE GOAL THERE IS TO GET THE WATER MAIN OUT OF THE BACKYARDS AND ALSO PUT A BIGGER WATER MAIN IN THE STREET, SO THAT WE ALSO ENHANCE FIRE PROTECTION. SO IT'S TWO IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S A TWO PHASE PROJECT. WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH TWO DIFFERENT THINGS THERE. SAME THING. WE ARE WORKING WITH CONGRESSMAN MASSA'S OFFICE TO SECURE APPROPRIATION FUNDING FOR THAT PROJECT NEXT. WE'RE CALLING THIS SPECIAL WATER PROJECTS. WHAT THIS IS IS A DEEP INJECTION. WELL, IF YOU GO BY THE WASTEWATER PLANT, YOU SEE THIS VERY TALL TOWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WASTEWATER PLANT THAT IS A DRILLING RIG FOR THE DEEP INJECTION WELL. THE DEEP INJECTION WELL IS A PROJECT THAT'S FOR THE RO PLANT. ONCE WE GET THE RO PLANT BUILT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE CONCENTRATE WASTE. FROM THE PROCESS OF TREATING THE WATER. WE HAVE TO DISPOSE OF THAT. BUT WE DID SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WE PUT THE DEEP INJECTION WELL AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT. WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO RUN A MAIN FOR THE CONCENTRATE. SO WE THOUGHT ABOUT IT, PUT SOME THOUGHT WE'RE GOING TO WE. WHAT WE DID WAS CO-LOCATED THIS DEEP INJECTION WITH THE WASTEWATER PLANT. SO IT'S GOING TO SERVE TWO USES. IT'S GOING TO TAKE THE CONCENTRATE FROM THE RO PLANT. BUT WE CAN ALSO USE IT FOR ANY UPSETS AT THE WASTEWATER PLANT. AND HOPEFULLY MAYBE SOME COMMERCIAL USES IN THE FUTURE. SO IT'LL BE A REVENUE GENERATOR AS WELL. SO THAT IS ON SO FAR ON SCHEDULE. IT SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT JUNE 2026. NEXT. WASTEWATER PROJECTS AGAIN, IF YOU'VE DRIVEN BY THE WASTEWATER PLANT LOCATION, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY IN THIS PICTURE. IF YOU SEE THAT KIND OF GREENISH CIRCLE IN THE BACK, THAT'S THE EXISTING WASTEWATER PLANT THAT HAS A CAPACITY OF ABOUT 750,000 GALLONS A DAY. HOPEFULLY THAT PLANT'S BEEN THERE SINCE 1982, AND IT'S DEFINITELY OUTLIVED ITS USEFUL LIFE. IF YOU LOOK IN THE FOREGROUND OF THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT, THAT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE WASTEWATER PLANT. THE NEW WASTEWATER PLANT WILL HANDLE 1.2 MILLION GALLONS A DAY, WITH THE ABILITY TO EXPAND ANOTHER 600 PRETTY QUICKLY WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TANKS. SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING THERE IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BRAND NEW WASTEWATER PLANT. AND I MIGHT ADD, MOST OF THE SLIDES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK AT, IT'S ALL GRANT MONEY. IT'S EITHER YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE CHECK OVER THERE, APPROPRIATIONS THAT WE GOT FROM THE STATE. THIS PROJECT IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS. IT'S ALL STATE
[00:15:02]
APPROPRIATION MONEY THAT'S DOING THIS. WE HAVE WE HAVE RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $76 MILLION FOR THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE DOING HERE IN THE VILLAGE NEXT. ALONG WITH THE BIG PROJECTS, YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE IN THE FIELD EVERY DAY WORKING IN THE VILLAGE. SO I ADDED THAT TO THE TO THE SLIDE SHOW AS WELL. FIRST PICTURE ON THE LEFT IS THE GUYS ARE IT'S THAT YELLOW THING IN THE LEFT. YOU DON'T SEE THE WHOLE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. THAT'S A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. THE VILLAGE PURCHASED WITH ARPA MONEY ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. IT'S A JETTER VAC TRAILER SO THAT WE HAVE AN ISSUE IN A MANHOLE, WHICH YOU CAN SEE THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE DOING. THEY WERE PULLING SOMETHING OUT OF THE MANHOLE. WE HAVE THE TOOLS TO DO THAT IN HOUSE. WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE, WE HAD NONE OF THESE. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF TOOLS IN THESE PICTURES THROUGH ARPA MONEY, THROUGH APPROPRIATIONS. WE'VE PURCHASED A BUNCH OF EQUIPMENT SO THAT OUR PEOPLE CAN DO WORK IN HOUSE. SO THE FIRST TWO PICTURES ON THE LEFT ARE EXACTLY THAT. IT'S THE JETTER. THAT GREEN HOSE IS JETTER HOSE. SO THEY'RE OPENING UP A CULVERT THAT WAS PLUGGED. WE CAN USE THAT. WE INITIALLY BOUGHT IT FOR WASTEWATER PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, COLLECTION, SEWER MAIN PROJECTS. BUT WE CAN ALSO USING CULVERT PIPES, WHICH OVER IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WE HAVE A LOT OF SOME OF THE DRAINAGE ISSUES WE HAVE ARE JUST PLUGGED CULVERT PIPES. SO IN THE OFF SEASON, THAT'S WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS IDENTIFY THESE THINGS AND TRY TO FIX THEM, OPEN THEM UP IN HOUSE SO THAT WE CAN IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS. THE LAST ONE IS A LIFT STATION. THE GUYS WERE CLEANING ONE OF THE LIFT STATIONS AGAIN, INSTEAD OF CALLING A CONTRACTOR, WE'RE ABLE TO DO IT IN-HOUSE NEXT.WATER UTILITIES. PICTURE. ON THE LEFT IS A FIRE HYDRANT. THAT PARTICULAR FIRE HYDRANT IS TRACTOR SUPPLY. UNFORTUNATELY, SOMEONE WAS DRUNK IN THE AFTERNOON AND HE HIT IT. AGAIN.
BEFORE I GOT HERE, WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO CALL A CONTRACTOR AND COME AND GET IT FIXED. AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'RE COMING. NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES, YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT WORK HERE THAT CAN DO THESE THINGS IN-HOUSE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AS PART OF THE PROCESS, IS TRAINING THE PEOPLE THAT WORK HERE TO DO THESE KINDS OF THINGS. WE HAVE HALF OF OUR CREW HAS DONE SOME OF THIS BEFORE. HALF OF OUR CREW HAS NEVER DONE ANY OF THIS BEFORE. SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS WE'RE TRAINING THEM AS WE'RE GOING SO THAT WE CAN AGAIN, SO THAT WE CAN DO THESE THINGS IN HOUSE. SO THE FIRE HYDRANT, LIKE I SAID, WAS SOME POOR GUY GOT A DWI AND HE HIT OUR FIRE HYDRANT, BUT WE HAD TO FIX NEXT DAY. THE CENTER PICTURE IS A WATER SERVICE THAT TWO OF OUR NEWEST GUYS, AARON AND AUSTIN, ARE WORKING ON. AND THEN THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT IS THE STORE OVER MARTIN LUTHER KING.
THERE USED TO BE A FIRE HYDRANT THERE ON THAT SPOT THAT CONTINUALLY WOULD GET HIT. SO I DON'T HAVE A PICTURE, BUT WE MOVED THE FIRE HYDRANT ACROSS THE STREET IN A BETTER LOCATION, WHICH OUR PEOPLE DID IN-HOUSE. AND THEN WHAT THAT IS, IS THEY WENT BACK AND REMOVED THE VALVE THAT WAS LEAKING AND REPAIRED THE LINE. SO AGAIN, THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE USED TO HIRE A CONTRACTOR TO DO THAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR EMPLOYEES. SO WE SOLVED TWO PROBLEMS WITH THAT.
FIRST WAS FIRE HYDRANT THAT KEPT GETTING HIT. SO THE FIRE HYDRANT WAS USELESS BECAUSE IT GOT HIT REPEATEDLY BECAUSE OF A BAD LOCATION. AND THEN WE FOUND A LEAK WHEN WE WERE FIXING FIRE HYDRANT. AND IN IN ORDER TO FIX THAT ONE REPAIR, WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE LEAK, BUT IT TOOK US AT LEAST 2 OR 3 WEEKS TO WHERE WE GOT TO THE POINT THAT WE COULD CONTROL THE WATER, BECAUSE EVERY TIME THEY TOUCH THE VALVE, IT DIDN'T WORK. SO WE REPLACED 4 OR 5 VALVES AROUND THAT AREA FIRST AND THEN FIX THAT NEXT PUBLIC WORKS. WE HAVE TWO GENTLEMEN, TWO AND A HALF, WE'LL SAY, BECAUSE IVAN WORKS IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLACES. SO WE'VE GOT TWO FULL TIMERS IN PUBLIC WORKS. THE LIFT WE RENTED, WE HAD A TREE THAT WAS UNSAFE OVER IN THE FERNWOOD FOREST NEIGHBORHOOD, RIGHT NEXT TO A PERSON'S HOUSE, BUT IN THE RIGHT OF WAY. SO WE HAVE WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO GUYS THAT HAD EXPERIENCE WITH TREES, IVAN AND DAVID. SO WE RENTED A LIFT AND WE TOOK CARE OF THE TREE. THE CENTER PICTURE IS THE BACKHOE THAT WE PURCHASED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. PART OF THAT PURCHASE WAS THAT BROOM. THERE WAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, A TRACTOR TRAILER DROPPED A WHOLE LOAD OF GRANITE COUNTERTOPS ON 710. WE WERE ACTUALLY THE FIRST ONES ON SCENE WITH THE BACKHOE. AND THEN ONCE WE GOT DONE PICKING MOVING THE GRANITE OFF THE STREET, WE BROUGHT THE BROOM OUT, WHICH WAS ANOTHER PIECE OF THAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT WE PURCHASED AND CLEANED THE STREET AS WELL. AND THEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE, SAME THING. THE CIRCLED SEMINOLE DRIVE. ALL THE BUSHES WERE ALL OVERGROWN. IT WAS A SIGHT. REAL BAD SIGHT HAZARD. SO THE GUYS WENT OVER THERE AND AGAIN IN HOUSE. THOSE
[00:20:04]
ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT THE PUBLIC WORKS GUYS ARE DOING TODAY IS TRIMMING TREES, CLEANING, FIXING THE ROADS. NEXT, I GUESS THAT'S IT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO COME SEE WHAT WE DO, I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO GIVE IT TO HER. YES. I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU. HOOPS ON. I JUST SAID I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE DOING. IT'S AMAZING TO SEE ALL THE PROGRESS. I LOVE THAT YOU'RE PUTTING THESE TOGETHER FOR US. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT TO US. FOR A LITTLE FEW PEOPLE. OPERATION, YOU ARE GETTING SOME BIG WORK DONE AND IT'S AGAIN, I HAVE TO REITERATE, IT'S NOT JUST ME. WE HAVE NINE PEOPLE OVER THERE NOW. WE COULD USE MORE, BUT WE'RE DOING IT.IT'S AGAIN, IT'S NOT ME, IT'S MY TEAM. THEY'RE DOING ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING. SO THANK YOU.
YEAH WE APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU. DO I HAVE TO BRING IT? THANK YOU AS WELL I APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE AND THAT YOU'RE SHOWING US WHAT YOU'VE DONE. SO I APPRECIATE THAT.
APPRECIATE THAT AS WELL. TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE FOR ME, YOU SAID THERE'S 750,000 GALLONS OF WASTEWATER WASTE A DAY. CAN IT'S PERMITTED FOR 750,000 A DAY. PRESENTLY WE'RE DOING ABOUT 300,000 A DAY. UNLESS IT RAINS, THEN IT COULD DOUBLE BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY ISSUES OUT IN THE SYSTEM. BUT THE NEW PLANT IS PERMITTED FOR 1.2 MILLION A DAY. AND THAT'S BECAUSE AND THAT'S FOR GROWTH. OKAY. IT'S NOT IT WAS WHEN THE PLANT WAS DESIGNED. THEY WERE INITIALLY WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE, I KNOW I REFERRED TO WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE, WHEN I GOT HERE FOUR YEARS AGO, THEY WERE JUST GOING TO BUILD A PLANT THE SAME SIZE. EVEN IF WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF GROWTH, YOU STILL NEED SOME SOME SPACE TO GROW NATURALLY. SO WE WE LOOKED AT IT AND DECIDED THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT BIGGER. BUT THEN AGAIN, WHEN YOU MAKE IT BIGGER, IT COSTS MORE. SO THAT DROVE UP THE COST A LITTLE BIT, BUT WE'LL BE READY WHEN IT'S BUILT TO HANDLE 1.2 MILLION A DAY, WE CAN EXPAND IT TO 600,000 OR MORE AT 600,000 INCREMENTS PRETTY EASILY. SO WE'RE SET THAT IF THERE IS GROWTH, WE'LL BE ABLE TO GROW WITH THAT. WE'VE ALSO DONE THE SAME THING. YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT THE R.O. PLANT IN THE IN THE SLIDES. BUT THE BIG ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM IS THE R.O. PLANT. AGAIN, WHEN WE STARTED, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A 1 MILLION GALLON A DAY PLANT. WELL, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING A PLANT THAT'LL DO 6 MILLION GALLONS A DAY OR MORE. IT WON'T BE DOING THAT DAY ONE, BUT WE'RE PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE SO THAT WHEN IT WHEN IT HAPPENS, WE'RE PREPARED. SO IT'S GOING TO COST, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT ESTIMATES OF $50 MILLION TO BUILD THE R.O. PLANT, WHICH WE WILL BUILD. WE'RE GOING TO FIND THE MONEY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE. EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. NEXT MONTH, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A PROPOSAL FOR A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, BECAUSE TO THIS POINT, IT'S BEEN THE ENGINEER MYSELF, MY TEAM, TARRAN TALKING ABOUT WHAT DO WE NEED? WELL, ONCE WE GET THE CIP PLAN TOGETHER, IT'S A 20 YEAR PLAN. WE'LL HAVE A PLAN IN BLACK AND WHITE FOR THE FUTURE, AS OPPOSED TO HAVING IT IN MY HEAD BECAUSE IT'S OKAY THAT IT'S IN MY HEAD, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK FOR THE FUTURE. SO WE WILL HAVE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A PROPOSAL NEXT BOARD MEETING TO DO A UPDATE, THE MASTER PLAN AND DO A CIP. SO THEN WE WILL HAVE A ROADMAP FOR THE FUTURE AND YOU'LL HAVE IT IN BLACK AND WHITE. WHAT'S THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD WASTE A DAY? DO YOU KNOW. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA. TYPICALLY YOU FIGURE 250 TO 300 GALLONS OF WATER TO A HOUSE PER DAY, AND YOU USUALLY SEE ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF THAT COMING BACK. OKAY. SO IT'S IT'S NEVER 1 TO 1. AND THAT'S THE BUT IN REAL A LOT OF TIMES YOU'LL SEE IT'S NOT EVEN THREE QUARTERS TO ONE. IT COULD ONLY BE A HALF TO ONE BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE WATER THE LAWN OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THEY DO TO IT, BUT IT DOESN'T COME BACK TO US. SO IT'S IT'S ALMOST NEVER 1 TO 1. AND WHEN, WHEN I WAS TALKING EARLIER ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT RAINS, EVERY WASTEWATER SYSTEM IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, NOTHING'S SO TIGHT THAT YOU DON'T GET ANY WATER. SO WHEN IT RAINS, THE WATER, IF IT'S NOT GOING INTO THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM, IT'S GOING TO FIND ITS WAY INTO THE COLLECTION SYSTEM, INTO THE SEWER SYSTEM. WE CALL THAT I AND I INFLOW AND INFILTRATION.
SO YOU HAVE THAT. I'VE SEEN IT WORSE. THE LAST PLACE I WORKED WAS A LOT WORSE THAN HERE. BUT IT HAPPENS. SO THAT'S ALSO ON OUR RADAR. IT'S I WAS ASKED THIS QUESTION RECENTLY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT? I. NOTHING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES. BUT IT'S IT'S IN THE PLAN FOR THE FUTURE BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO USE THE CAPACITY AND
[00:25:04]
WASTEWATER PLANT FOR WITH ENE BECAUSE YOU'RE TAKING IN WATER AND TREATING IT AND YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY REVENUE. SO THAT IS IN THE FUTURE FOR SURE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SURE. ANYBODY ELSE OKAY. GO AHEAD. YEAH. PAT, AS AS MY COLLEAGUE STATED I TOO THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND AND TWO THINGS. ONE THING I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU GIVE YOUR STAFF THEIR DUE, THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THEM. A LOT OF SUPERVISORS DON'T DO THAT. AND THE SECOND THING I WANT TO SAY, I COMMEND YOU ON LOOKING AT GROWTH, BECAUSE WITH ALL THESE HOUSES THAT ARE COMING AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING THAT YOU HAD, YOU HAD THE GROWTH MINDSET. AND I THINK WE HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. INDIAN TOWN IS QUICKLY EVOLVING AND WE HAVE TO BE READY FOR THAT. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT AND THE BREAKDOWN OF IT AND EVEN ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS THAT VICE MAYOR HAD.AND THANK YOU. SURE. AND I HAVE TO ADD TO THAT, AND I HEAR THIS FROM OTHER PEOPLE, I WON'T MENTION ANY NAMES, BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TEAM. WITHOUT THE TEAM, I'M NOTHING, HONESTLY, IT'S THE TEAM. I WANT TO SAY THAT. YOUR PREPLANNING IS YOUR MICRO. ARE YOU ALWAYS I DON'T KNOW. YOUR PRE-PLANNING IS GOING TO SAVE US MONEY BECAUSE THIS STUFF IS THE CHEAPEST IT WILL EVER BE. EXACTLY. JUST LIKE LAND OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE DEAL WITH TODAY IS THE CHEAPEST IT WILL EVER BE. SO YOUR FORETHOUGHT IS GOING TO IN THE FUTURE SAVE US A LOT OF MONEY. SO APPRECIATE THAT FORETHOUGHT AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO FOR THE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. A LOT OF THIS IS TECHNICAL AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, BUT.
I KNOW IN MY HEART AND IN MY MIND THAT WE'VE GOT THE TEAM HERE THAT'S SETTING THIS PLACE UP FOR SUCCESS. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT, SETTING IT UP FOR SUCCESS. NOT FOR TODAY, BUT FOR THE FUTURE. AND YEAH, YOU GOT A GREAT YOU GOT A GREAT DEDICATED GUYS. I MEAN, I PULLED IN, I PULLED INTO A PLACE BECAUSE I GOT A CALL, AN INDIAN WOOD THAT THERE WAS A WATER LEAK. AND ONE OF YOUR GUYS, HE'S UPSIDE DOWN IN THE HOLE. ALL YOU COULD SEE WAS HIS FEET. YOU KNOW, IN WATER. YEAH. YOU KNOW, TRYING TO STOP THAT, THAT LEAK. AND I'M LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HE SAYS, WELL, SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX IS I LIKE THAT.
THAT'S GOOD. YOU KNOW? SO THEY'RE DEDICATED. THEY ARE. AND I SEE THAT. I SEE THAT FROM SEEING THEM OUT THERE AND WATCHING THEM DO THEIR WORK. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS CREATED THAT. THAT'S THAT'S MANAGEMENT. THANK YOU THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY COMMITTEE
[COMMITTEE REPORTS]
REPORTS. YES. ON WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 15TH WE WENT TO WELL I WENT TO THE LEAGUE OF CITIES.THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION WAS ABOUT PROPERTY TAX. THE HOUSE BILL THAT WILL BE UP FOR VOTE IN 2026 WAS ABOUT PROPERTY TAX. AND THE WORKSHOPS PRIOR TO THAT WERE ABOUT WORKSHOPS WAS ABOUT THE PROPERTY TAX AS WELL. IT WAS QUOTED THAT IF THE ELECTION WAS HELD THAT DAY, WHICH WAS THE 15TH, 60% WOULD VOTE YES. AND SO THE PANIC WAS, WERE THEY PREPARED FOR NO PROPERTY TAXES? WERE THE CITIES PREPARED FOR THAT? HOW WOULD WE TAKE CARE OF IT? WE HAVE ASSESSMENTS, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. WOULD IT BE HIGHER FOR US TO NOT HAVE PROPERTY TAX RATHER THAN, YOU KNOW, THAN HAVE PROPERTY TAX? SO THE HOUR AND A HALF WAS SPENT ON PROPERTY TAXES. AND WHAT WAS THE GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT WE BETTER NOT PASS THAT BILL? WELL, I KNOW, BUT IF IT PASSES, THAT WAS THE GENERAL CONSENSUS. THAT'S WHAT YOU ASKED. THAT WAS THE GENERAL CONSENSUS. BUT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND AND IT'S NOT PUT OUT THE FULL PICTURE OF PROPERTY TAXES, YOU KNOW, SO YOU SOMEONE SELLS A HOUSE AND YOU BUY IT. BUT THEY'VE OWNED THAT HOUSE. THEY HAD THE HOUSE BUILT. SO THEY'VE BEEN IN THAT HOUSE, RAISED THEIR KIDS, THEIR PROPERTY TAXES ARE LOW. WHEN YOU MOVE IN AND PURCHASE THAT HOUSE, YOUR PROPERTY TAX WON'T BE WHAT THEIR PROPERTY TAX WAS. SO WHEN YOU NOW GET YOUR PROPERTY BILL, YOUR TAX BILL, YOU'RE SAYING I CAN'T AFFORD THIS HOUSE. BUT COULD YOU REALLY AFFORD IT IF WE DIDN'T HAVE PROPERTY TAXES? AND THAT WAS THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE WHOLE CONVERSATION AT THAT HOUR AND A HALF MEETING MINUS THE LUNCH. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? NO. OKAY. COMMENTS BY VILLAGE
[COMMENTS BY VILLAGE MANAGER]
[00:30:09]
MANAGER. YES. THANK YOU. I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF ANNOUNCEMENTS. ONE IS NEXT WEEK. WE'RE STARTING THE VILLAGE'S STARTING THEIR EVALUATION APPRAISAL REPORT. AND THAT IS TO ADDRESS ANY CHANGES THAT HAVE COME ALONG THROUGH SOME STATE REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AS WELL AS ANY OTHER UPDATES THAT MAYBE WE'VE MADE CHANGES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. AND SO NEXT WEEK ON THE 30TH, WE'RE HAVING THE SPANISH ONE AT HOLY CROSS. AND ON NOVEMBER 18TH WE WILL HAVE THE ENGLISH ONE AVAILABLE AT THE LIBRARY. SO WE WILL BE PUSHING THIS OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. AND THERE'S A SURVEY THAT INDIVIDUALS CAN TAKE. AND SO WE WILL HAVE IT ON ALL OF OUR, ALL OF OUR PLATFORMS THAT THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE. SO I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT OUT IN FRONT. AND THEN ALSO ON TUESDAY, DO YOU WANT TO GIVE A REPORT ON WHAT YOU DID TUESDAY? OKAY. WELL TUESDAY MORNING. VILLAGE MANAGER AND I WENT OVER TO STUART AND WE WELL I ASKED FOR I DIDN'T GIVE HIM A SPECIFIC AMOUNT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO SCARE HIM, BUT WE HAD OUR OUR STATE REPS AND OUR STATE SENATOR ARE THERE. SENATOR HAGEL, HAROLD. AND, YOU KNOW, I LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY'D BE SEEING ME AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THAT WE NEEDED THE MONEY TO FINISH WHAT WE STARTED OUT HERE. SO THEY LOVE INDIAN TOWN. SO I LEFT THERE WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE, FEELING PRETTY GOOD. AND THEN WE CAME BACK HERE TO VILLAGE HALL, WHERE WE HAD BRIAN MAST, STEVE LAYTON AND OTHERS FROM THE VILLAGE LLORANDO. TARIN MYSELF. WE GAVE. CONGRESSMAN MAST A TOUR OF INDIAN TOWN. WE TOOK HIM OUT TO EAST COAST METALS, WHERE HE SPENT ABOUT A HALF HOUR IN THERE AND TOURED EAST COAST METALS. AND THEN WE WENT OVER TO. I. CONNICK REINHART. AND WE GAVE HIM A HE GOT A TOUR OF THAT FACILITY, AND WE SPENT PROBABLY ANOTHER HALF HOUR THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, WE GAVE HIM A TOUR OF INDIAN TOWN. WE WENT THROUGH, THROUGH. TERRA LAGO AND, AND GEORGE'S PROJECT OVER THERE ON SEVENTH AND. AND IT WAS JUST A GOOD DAY. AND THEN WE CAME BACK HERE, WE HAD LUNCH, SAT DOWN, AND HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WE NEEDED. SO WE DID ASK FOR THE 80 MILLION TO REPLACE TO REPLACE THE WATER MAINS. AND, AND PAT'S WORKING ON THAT. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT AND A LOT OF OTHER LISTS OF PRIORITY. AND HE'S GOING TO TAKE IT TO WASHINGTON AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. AND WE MIGHT BE SENDING CHLOE THERE. HE SUGGESTED THAT TO ME, THAT WE SEND CHLOE, AND SHE SITS DOWN AND GOES THROUGH ALL THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF GRANTS THAT ARE OUT THERE. SO THAT'S PRETTY INTERESTING, ACTUALLY. CHLOE GOES, I'D LIKE TO TAG ALONG MYSELF. I'M GOING TO GO UP THERE TOO AND SEE WATCH THE PROCESS BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING. SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID ON TUESDAY. MONDAY WE HAD A TOUR OF OF THE DRONE MANUFACTURER HERE, THE, THE ISRAELI COMPANY THAT'S BASED HERE IN INDIANTOWN AT THE AIRPORT. AND WE GOT A DEMONSTRATION ON THE DRONE, WHICH IS PRETTY INTERESTING.THEY HAVEN'T PUT A PERSON IN IT YET. THEY HAVEN'T HAD A PILOT IN IT. SO I VOLUNTEERED FOR JANUARY. I WOULD LOVE TO FLY THAT THING. AND SEEMS A WHOLE LOT EASIER THAN A HELICOPTER.
BUT YEAH. SO IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING WEEK. AND YESTERDAY WE HAD, I HAD MY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MEETING AND AND THAT WAS PRETTY INTERESTING. AND WE TOUCHED ON THE PROPERTY TAXES ALSO. SO IT'S, IT'S, IT'S AN ISSUE THAT'S COMING. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SIT DOWN. AND MAYBE IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TO DO AT OUR SPECIAL MEETING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE. LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT AND HOW WE'LL ADDRESS THAT IF IN CASE IT EVER DID PASS. BUT THAT'S HOW THE WEEK HAS BEEN. SO IT'S BEEN A VERY INTERESTING AND VERY, VERY PROMISING WEEK ACTUALLY. SO WE'LL JUST KEEP ASKING FOR MONEY AND I'LL KEEP GOING TO THE DIFFERENT LEGISLATIVE MEETINGS AND JUST KEEP ASKING. AND WE'LL I FEEL GOOD THAT WE'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL GET OUR MONEY. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT YEAR FOR US. AND, AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT. AND I THINK EVERYBODY WANTS TO SEE INDIAN TOWN SUCCEED. SO THANK GOD FOR

[Update on Due Diligence Concerning Purchase of Property Immediately Behind Village Hall Prior to Conclusion of Inspection Period on November 12, 2025]
AGENDA. WE GOT THE UPDATE ON DUE DILIGENCE. GO AHEAD. IT WILL BE ME. THANK YOU. MAYOR, MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS. GOOD EVENING. THE MANAGER AND I BOTH WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS CONCERNING THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY BEHIND VILLAGE HALL HERE, JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND FOR THE PUBLIC. AS YOU ALL RECALL BACK AT YOUR AUGUST 14TH MEETING, THE COUNCIL APPROVED AN OPTION CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE LAND IMMEDIATELY BEHIND VILLAGE HALL HERE. THE APPROVAL OF THAT OPTION CONTRACT BEGAN A 90 DAY INSPECTION PERIOD, DURING WHICH THE VILLAGE COULD DO ITS DUE DILIGENCE, AND DURING THAT 90 DAY PERIOD, THE VILLAGE COULD POTENTIALLY CHOOSE TO TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT IF THE PROPERTY WAS NOT SATISFACTORY. FOR OUR PURPOSES, THE 90 DAY INSPECTION PERIOD CONCLUDES ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH, WHICH FALLS BEFORE YOUR NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING. SO THIS ITEM IS MEANT TO PROVIDE THE COUNCIL WITH AN UPDATE CONCERNING ALL THE DUE DILIGENCE. AND JUST TO DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE WE PROCEED ON WITH WHAT THE CONTRACT HAS IN IT, PRECEDING TO CLOSING AND BEING DONE, THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONTRARY DIRECTION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT FROM THE COUNCIL. SO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE WHERE WE ARE ON DUE DILIGENCE IN ALL OF THIS. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BEGINNING OF THE INSPECTION PERIOD, THE PROPERTY OWNER PROVIDED US WITH A BUNCH OF DOCUMENTARY INFORMATION RELATING TO THE PROPERTY WHICH THEY WERE REQUIRED TO DO UNDER THE OPTION CONTRACT. PRIOR TITLE, COMMITMENT, GEOTECHNICAL AND SOILS AND STORMWATER EXFILTRATION REPORTS A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT TECHNICAL REPORTS, PRIOR SURVEYS, ALL OF THOSE WERE REVIEWED AND NONE OF THEM REVEALED ANY CONCERNS. WE THEREAFTER WENT AHEAD AND GOT A NEW TITLE COMMITMENT FOR TITLE INSURANCE FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, AND A SURVEY FOR THE PROPERTY, PARTICULARLY THE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S TO BE PURCHASED IN GETTING BOTH THE TITLE COMMITMENT AND THAT NEW SURVEY, NONE OF THAT REVEALED ANY CONCERNS. THE ONE THING I WOULD TELL YOU, AS A PRACTICAL MATTER, IT DID REVEALS WHEN THE SURVEY WAS BEING DONE, IT HAD TO BE STAKED, AND IT KIND OF GAVE US A VISUALLY COMPELLING DEMONSTRATION OF KIND OF HOW CONSTRAINED THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY IS. THIS IS NOT ULTIMATELY A GREAT SURPRISE. WE KNEW WHERE THAT PROPERTY LINE IS, BUT SEEING IT STAKED OUT, OUT THAT WAY KIND OF MAKES A VISUALLY COMPELLING DEMONSTRATION OF HOW CONSTRAINED THINGS ARE THERE IN THE BACK. YOU KNOW, WHEN THAT THAT OTHER PIECE IS NOT INVOLVED AS PART OF DUE DILIGENCE AS WELL? OF COURSE, VICE MAYOR WATERS BROWN HAD REQUESTED THAT THERE BE AN INQUIRY OF THE VILLAGE'S STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, WHO HAD INSPECTED THIS BUILDING PRIOR TO ITS PURCHASE, TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT ADDING A SECOND STORY WOULD BE FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE AS COMPARED TO BUILDING ON NEW LAND. AS YOU'LL RECALL, THE MANAGER PROVIDED A REPORT FROM THAT ENGINEER WHO HAD REVISITED ALL OF THAT AND CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THAT BUILDING ON BUILDING A NEW BUILDING WOULD BE MUCH MORE FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE THAN DOING THE EXTENSIVE WORK THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO MAKE THIS BUILDING SUCH THAT YOU COULD BUILD A SECOND STORY. SO WITH ALL THAT DUE DILIGENCE THAT HAS BEEN DONE, NOTHING HAS BEEN REVEALED IN THE COURSE OF THING THAT VILLAGE STAFF HAS RECEIVED THAT WOULD IN ANY WAY CHANGE VILLAGE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION THAT THE VILLAGE PROCEED ON AND AND CONCLUDE THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD AND CLOSE ON AND PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. SO WITH THAT, JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU THAT REPORT AND STAFF'S[00:40:01]
RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE VILLAGE COUNCIL ALLOWED THE INSPECTION PERIOD TO CONCLUDE WITHOUT ANY CANCELLATION. THE VILLAGE THEN PROCEED TO CLOSE ON THE PURCHASE OF THE CONTRACT OR PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY PER THE OPTION CONTRACT. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR. WITH THAT RECOMMENDATION, WE DON'T NEED ANY MOTION OR ACTION FROM THE COUNCIL TO PROCEED WITH THAT RECOMMENDATION. IT IS SIMPLY NO PRIOR, NO, NO CONTRARY DIRECTION, AND WE PROCEED ON AS AS THE CONTRACT STATES. SO WITH THAT, I'D BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT I'M SURE THE MANAGER WOULD BE GLAD TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WELL. YES, I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT WHEN THEY DID THE STAKING OF THE PROPERTY, WE ACTUALLY WENT OUT AND MEASURED AND IT WAS SEVEN FEET I THINK. JOSH. SO WE ACTUALLY ARE ENCROACHING SEVEN FEET OF ASPHALT ON THE PROPERTY OWNER BEHIND US TODAY. AND ACTUALLY, I'LL I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE SEEN IT IF YOU'VE BEEN THERE IN THE BACK VERY QUICKLY HERE, I'M GOING TO I'LL JUST THROW UP. I'VE GOT A DIFFERENT YEAH. TAKE OVER. HERE WE GO. DID THAT GO UP? YEAH. SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY THE SEE IF I CAN HOLD ON ONE SECOND. I'M HAVING DIFFICULTY ACTUALLY SEEING IT ON MY OWN COMPUTER. THERE WE GO. THAT'S THE PICTURE. IT'S JUST YOU GOT A ZOOM? THERE WE GO, I GOT IT. THERE YOU GO. YEAH. SORRY. IT'S.MY COMPUTER'S MISBEHAVING NOW. THERE YOU GO. ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN SEE THE. STAKES. IS THAT COMING THROUGH? YEAH. ALL RIGHT, IT'S JUST TAKING A WHILE. SORRY ABOUT THAT. YOU CAN SEE THE STAKING HERE AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THE OTHER WAY RIGHT THERE. DID A VERY AMATEURISH DRAWING ONTO THE IMAGES HERE TO JUST SHOW YOU A LINE, POINT TO POINT FROM THE BASE OF, OF THAT. FROM THE BASE OF THE, THE STAKE TO THE OTHER STAKE TO, TO SEE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT NOW, BY THE WAY, JUST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW, AS I SAID, WE KNEW WHERE THE PROPERTY LINE WAS WHEN THIS WAS PURCHASED. AND THIS HAS BEEN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN FOR MANY, MANY DECADES. WE LOOKED AT IT WHEN WE WERE FIRST GOING THROUGH FOR THE PURCHASING, LOOKING AT AERIALS AND SEEING THAT WE HAVE PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHTS TO BE ABLE TO TO DRIVE THERE EVEN OFF THE PROPERTY, SO THAT ULTIMATELY FROM A PURE, YOU KNOW, ARE WE TRESPASSING STANDPOINT. IT'S MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT. BUT IN ANY EVENT, THAT IS WHAT WE ACTUALLY OWN UP TO AT THIS POINT. OKAY. COUNCILWOMAN CARTER, I GOT A LOT OF CALLS FROM PEOPLE AND EMAILS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT THIS. I'VE BEEN IN REAL ESTATE NOW FOR 23 YEARS, IN THREE, IN THREE DIFFERENT STATES. AND AS I TOLD PAT EARLIER, PRICES ARE THE CHEAPEST TODAY THAT THEY WILL EVER BE. AND YOU GUYS ALL KNOW HOW THINGS APPRECIATE. WHAT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT HERE IS THE CHEAPEST OPPORTUNITY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FOR EXPANSION. IF WE CHOOSE NOT TO PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY AT SOME POINT IN TIME, EVEN IF IT'S JUST A YEAR OR TWO, IT COULD EVEN BE FIVE YEARS FROM NOW. WE WILL THEN HAVE TO GO LOOK FOR A PLACE TO BUILD A BIGGER BUILDING, BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED THIS. IT WILL BE GONE, THE OPPORTUNITY WILL BE GONE, AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THIS AGING BUILDING. SITTING AROUND EMPTY BUILDINGS, SITTING AROUND TOWN IS NOT GOOD FOR ANYONE, SO I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT ALTHOUGH. A LOT OF PEOPLE CONSIDER IT TO BE OVER MARKET VALUE, IT IS THE ONLY PIECE OF PROPERTY ADJOINING OUR CURRENT PIECE OF PROPERTY, WHICH MAKES IT UNIQUE AND UNIQUELY SUITED FOR OUR FUTURE. AT THE CHEAPEST POSSIBLE PRICE. I WISH THIS BUILDING WERE CONFIGURED TO ADD ON OR TO BUILD ON, BUT IT'S IT'S NOT. IT WOULDN'T HOLD A SECOND FLOOR. IT'S NOT CONSTRUCTED TO BE A TWO STORY BUILDING. THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO THAT KIND OF PLANNING, AND THAT JUST WASN'T DONE WHEN THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT. I'M SURE THE PEOPLE THAT LOOKED AT THIS BUILDING, AND WE DO LOOK AT WE'VE GOT SOME EMPTY SPACES. BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THIS BUILDING IS THE SPACES AREN'T REALLY DESIGNED FOR WHAT A LOT OF WHAT WE NEED OR ARE GOING TO NEED IN THE FUTURE. SO JUST
[00:45:06]
USING THE SPACES THAT ARE EMPTY HERE MIGHT BE A GOOD OPTION FOR A YEAR OR SO. IT COULD END UP THAT THAT WOULD WORK, BUT IN THE LONG RUN, WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO EXPAND OUR PUBLIC SERVICES AND OUR GOVERNMENT WILL GROW. UNFORTUNATELY, I'M NOT A BIG GOVERNMENT PERSON, BUT IT'S JUST THE WAY IT WORKS. AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT WE GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PURCHASE. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? VICE MAYOR? SO THE WAIT FOR THE DRIVE WAY ON THIS SIDE, ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING, WE WE WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO USE THAT NO MATTER WHAT. CORRECT. SO SO YES, YES. AND IN IN IN FOR TWO DIFFERENT REASONS. LET ME LET ME LAY THIS OUT HERE. LET'S. LET'S PROCEED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND GO THROUGH AND, AND PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY AND BACK. OKAY. IF YOU'LL RECALL, ONE OF THE ONE OF THE TERMS IN THE OPTION CONTRACT IS ACTUALLY ALSO FOR AFTER THE CLOSING THERE WILL BE A CROSS ACCESS EASEMENT, A FORMAL CROSS ACCESS EASEMENT THAT WILL ENCOMPASS THAT THAT STRETCH RIGHT OVER HERE. OKAY. SO IT'S IT'S FOR THE BENEFIT OF THAT PROJECT WHEN IT GOES IN, BUT IT WILL ALSO BE FOR THE BENEFIT OF US. OKAY. SO PART OF THE ACCESS WILL BE FORMALLY AS OPPOSED TO INFORMALLY BUT LEGAL PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHTS OVER WHERE IT EDGES OVER. AND ACTUALLY I WANT TO MENTION SOMETHING MORE ABOUT THAT. BUT YEAH, WE WILL HAVE EVEN BETTER ACCESS AS A AS KIND OF A SIDE BENEFIT OF THE PURCHASE OF THIS IN THE BACK BECAUSE OF THE THE FORMAL PROVISION FOR THAT CROSS ACCESS EASEMENT, THE JUST TO TO CLARIFY THE DRIVEWAY OR THE AREA WHERE PEOPLE ACTUALLY DRIVE IN THE BACK VERSUS ON THE SIDE IN THE BACK. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE IMAGE, THERE IS SOME KIND OF ENCROACHING OVER OR CROSSING OVER ONTO THE OTHER PROPERTY ON THE SIDE. HERE, THE SURVEY ACTUALLY REVEALS THAT THE PAVED PART THAT'S EXISTING PAVED THERE, WHICH IS NOT NOT WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE AS A FULL WIDTH, MODERN DAY IN AND OUT DRIVEWAY. IT'S KIND OF A SINGLE IN THAT IS ACTUALLY ALL ON OUR PROPERTY. SO WE'RE WE'RE GOOD ON THAT ON THAT PIECE FOR THE ACTUAL PAVING, EXCEPT FOR MAYBE A COUPLE INCHES THE PAVING MAY GO OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE THERE. BUT THAT THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE THERE. SO AND SO IN THE IN THE CONTRARY UNIVERSE, WE DON'T BUY THE STUFF IN THE BACK. WE STILL OWN, YOU KNOW, MOST OF THAT PAVEMENT THERE, BUT IT'S A NARROW DRIVEWAY AND, AND WHAT HAVE YOU. AND SO IN THE BACK WHERE WE DRIVE, THAT'S SORT OF A RIGHT OF WAY SOMEWHAT. YEAH. SO IT IS. IT'S A IT'S WHAT WE CALL PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHTS OR PRESCRIPTIVE EASEMENT. RIGHT. SO THAT IS NOT FORMALLY RECORDED. ALL RIGHT. IT'S BY DECADES OF USE DEMONSTRATED IN IN EVIDENCE LIKE AERIALS AND SO ON THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO CROSS OVER THERE. NOW MIND YOU OF COURSE. LET'S AGAIN ASSUME FOR A SECOND WE BOUGHT OR WE DID NOT BUY IN THE BACK. AND THE WHOLE PROJECT WAS BUILT. WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A BENEFIT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ONLY A PROPERTY OWNER, WE'RE THE GOVERNMENT. AND SO EVERY, EVERY VERSION OF THE PROJECT THAT'S BEEN BACK THERE HAS CONTEMPLATED ACCESS FOR, FOR BACK HERE. SO WE COULD ACTUALLY PARK INTO THOSE PARKING SPOTS.OKAY. SO IT'S WE WOULD WE WOULD MAKE SURE WE'RE COVERED OR PROTECTED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
BUT THE BEST WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROTECTED AS WE OWN IT. YEAH. SO IN THE BACK, IF WE'RE A LITTLE BIT NOW ENCROACHING ON THEIR PROPERTIES, RIGHT. PROPERTY LINE. YEAH. THE, THE THE DRIVE PATH THAT IS USED CROSSES OVER ONTO THAT PROPERTY CURRENTLY. YES. SO IF IT IS TRUE THAT THEY IF THEY DON'T SELL IT TO US, THEY WON'T SELL IT. SO IF SOMEONE DECIDED THEY WANTED TO PUT UP A FENCE ON THAT PROPERTY, HOW DO WE GET IN AND OUT AND HOW DO WE PARK? HOW DO WE GROW? HOW DO WE IF HOW DO WE. AND THIS IS A THAT'S A USEFUL HYPOTHETICAL. IT'S NOT WITH WITH THESE OWNERS. IT'S NOT ONE I WOULD I WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT THAT WOULD PRECIPITATE I KNOW, BUT I'M JUST I'M GIVING YOU THE READ OF EVERYTHING I GOT. BUT THAT
[00:50:02]
WOULD PRECIPITATE A FIGHT. AND I HAVE SEEN EXACTLY THOSE TYPES OF FIGHTS BEFORE WHERE YOU HAVE WHERE YOU HAVE THE TECHNICALLY, YOU KNOW, ABSOLUTELY CORRECT PROPERTY LINE THEY OWN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF, OF THAT PROPERTY. THERE'S NO QUESTION OR DISPUTE OF THAT THAT THEY OWN ON THAT SIDE OF IT. CORRECT. THE ONLY THING I'M BRINGING UP, JUST SO EVERYBODY'S NOT CONCERNED, OH, WE'VE BEEN BREAKING THE LAW FOR YEARS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT IS, IS THAT IT'S BEEN USED FOR SO LONG. WE HAVE SOME RIGHTS TO DO IT. I HAVE SEEN THAT EXACT SCENARIO GO OUT WHERE YOU HAVE RELATIONS BETWEEN PROPERTY OWNERS, MUCH DIFFERENT THAT THEY DO PUT UP A FENCE AND THEN WE'RE FIGHTING IN COURT BECAUSE THEY PUT UP A FENCE, WHICH GENERALLY YOU WOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO DO, BUT IT'S STOPPING US FROM USING A DRIVE PATH THAT WE AND THE PREDECESSORS AND INTERESTS THE PRIOR OWNERS OF THE BUILDING HAVE USED FOR DECADES. SO THAT IS A HYPOTHETICAL BIG FIGHT THAT COULD HAPPEN IF THAT HAPPENED. OKAY. THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY SOMETHING WITH YOU, PLEASE. PRESCRIPTION IS BASED ON NOTORIOUS USE, NOT NOT BEING GIVEN PERMISSION. SO THEREFORE WE HAVE HAD PERMISSION TO USE THAT WE WOULD NOT WIN IN COURT ON A PRESCRIPTION BECAUSE WE'VE HAD PERMISSION TO USE IT. YOU CAN ONLY WIN PRESCRIPTION IF YOU'VE NOTORIOUSLY USED THE PROPERTY FOR X NUMBER OF YEARS. WHATEVER STATE YOU'RE IN, WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OR THE INTERFERENCE OF THE PROPERTY OWNER. IN OTHER WORDS, IF I GO LIVE IN HER BACKYARD AND SHE DOESN'T NOTICE AND I STAY THERE FOR SEVEN, TEN, 30 YEARS, SHE CAN'T THROW ME OUT BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE HER PERMISSION, BUT SHE DIDN'T GET RID OF ME.TECHNICALLY, IN COURT, PRESCRIPTION WILL NOT HELP US. IF WE DO NOT PURCHASE THAT. WE CAN FIGHT ALL WE WANT TO, AND YOU CAN VERIFY THAT NOTORIOUS USE IS PART OF THE PRESCRIPTIVE DEED. SO IF WE DON'T PURCHASE IT AND WE GO TO COURT, WE STAND A VERY GOOD CHANCE OF SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY FIGHTING AND THEM SAYING, NO, YOU HAD PERMISSION THE WHOLE TIME.
THAT'S NOT NOTORIOUS USE. SO SHE ACTUALLY JUST POINTED OUT WHAT IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON FIGHTS WHEN YOU HAVE ADVERSE POSSESSION OR PRESCRIPTIVE EASEMENT RIGHTS LIKE THAT? I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY DISPUTE THAT IT'S NOTORIOUS. NOTORIOUS MEANS JUST OPEN, OKAY. IT'S ADVERSE. SO AND BY THE WAY, SO WHAT WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER JUST MENTIONED THAT WOULD BE THE COUNTERARGUMENT. IN A HYPOTHETICAL FIGHT THEY WOULD SAY NO IT WAS NOT ADVERSE. IT WAS WITH PERMISSION. AND NOW WE WITHDRAWN THE PERMISSION. THAT IS THAT IS THE TYPICAL FIGHT, THE POSITION I HAVE TO TAKE WHEN THE TAPE IS ROLLING IS THAT WE HAVE THOSE RIGHTS, BECAUSE I CAN'T COMPROMISE ANY POTENTIAL. CORRECT, YOU KNOW, RIGHT OF THE VILLAGE. BUT THAT IS MOST CERTAINLY THE COUNTERARGUMENT. AND THERE IS A RISK THAT WOULD BE COMPLETELY OBVIATED BY BUYING A PROPERTY IN THE BACK. CORRECT? OKAY. IF I CAN JUST SAY I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S LOOKING FOR A FIGHT. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S LOOKING TO GO TO COURT. THESE ARE NOT THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO DO THAT. I CAN TELL YOU THAT IF WE DO NOT PURCHASE IT, THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD THEIR THEIR PROJECT BACK THERE. THAT'S THAT'S A GUARANTEED RIGHT THERE.
SO THE QUESTION THAT WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES IS, DO YOU ALL THINK WE'RE GOING TO GROW. IS IT GOVERNMENT? I SAY TO THE ANSWER TO THAT IS YES, IT'S OBVIOUS. DO WE NEED A BIGGER BUILDING? YES. DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO BUY THAT LOT? NOW? I REALIZE THAT IT'S NOT. WHAT PEOPLE WOULD SAY. THE PRICE IS NOT IT'S NOT A IT'S IT'S OVER APPRAISAL. BUT I'LL SAY I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN. YOU FIND ME A LOT IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN THAT WILL SELL FOR APPRAISED VALUE. AND I'LL GIVE YOU A COMMISSION ON IT, BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WE ALL KNOW THAT THAT ONCE THIS VILLAGE INCORPORATED AND AS TIME GOES ON AND AS OUR WATER PLANT GETS BUILT AND OUR UTILITIES GET UP TO SPEED, MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WANT TO COME HERE. THE MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PAY MORE MONEY FOR THE PROPERTY. SO BESIDES THAT, THEY'VE GOT A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS INVESTED IN ENGINEERING PERMITS, SITE PLANS, EVERYTHING THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT. SO NATURALLY THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO RECUPERATE SOME OR MOST OF THEIR MONEY. THEY GOT INVESTED BACK THERE BECAUSE I WOULD WANT TO RECUPERATE IT, AND ANYBODY SITTING IN THIS ROOM WOULD WANT TO RECUPERATE IT. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SPEND MONEY ON SOMETHING. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BUY A HOUSE FOR 100,000, PUT 200,000 IN IT, AND THEN SELL IT FOR 100,000. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT.
NOBODY WOULD DO THAT. OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO SELL IT FOR A LOT MORE THAN WHAT YOU'VE GOT
[00:55:01]
INTO IT. OKAY. THEY'RE NOT DOING THAT. I'VE SEEN THE NUMBERS OF WHAT THEY'VE GOT INVESTED THERE AND I'VE BEEN SWORN NOT TO. CONFIDENTIAL. OKAY. AND BUT I'M TELLING YOU THAT THEY GOT MORE INVESTED IN THOSE LOTS THAN WHAT WE'RE PAYING IN THE DIFFERENCE OF THE APPRAISED VALUE AND THE SELLING PRICE. SO WE GOT TO ASK OURSELVES, ARE WE GOING TO STAY HERE OR ARE WE GOING TO GROW HERE? IF WE ARE, THEN THAT'S THE ONLY CHOICE. AND JUST LIKE COUNCILWOMAN ONSLAUGHT SAYS, IF NOT, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO GO OUT AND FIND A PIECE OF PROPERTY AND START ALL OVER AGAIN TO BUILD A VILLAGE HALL? AS WE GROW AND IT MIGHT BE A YEAR FROM NOW. IT MIGHT BE TWO YEARS FROM NOW. BUT MY WHOLE IDEA IS RIGHT NOW. WE GOT THE ABILITY OF GETTING GRANTS, BUT YOU CAN'T GET A GRANT ON A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT YOU DON'T OWN. SO ONCE WE OWN THAT PROPERTY NOW, WE COULD START LOOKING FOR GRANTS TO GET A BUILDING PUT ON IT SO WE CAN END UP PAYING THE 375 FOR THE PROPERTY, END UP WITH A GRANT FOR $3 MILLION FOR A BUILDING. NOW, WHAT'S THE PROPERTY WORTH AND WHAT DID WE PAY FOR IT? WHERE'S THE VALUE? THERE. THAT'S WHERE THE VALUE IS. THAT'S I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO SAY IT, BUT THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. AND GO AHEAD. SO WHEN AN APPRAISAL IS DONE, IT'S BASED ON LIKE PROPERTIES IN AN AREA. AND THE APPRAISAL ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY WAS DONE. IT'S JUST A GENERAL APPRAISAL. IT WASN'T DONE. TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION HIGHEST AND BEST USE FOR A COMMERCIAL PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR THE EXPANSION OF OUR BUILDING. HE DID NOT TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION IN HIS VALUE OF THE PROPERTY, BUT WE HAVE TO, BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY ADJOINING PIECE OF PROPERTY AVAILABLE TO US. SO WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT. INVESTORS DON'T ALWAYS RECOUP THEIR MONEY THAT THEY'VE PUT INTO A PROJECT, BUT THESE INVESTORS DON'T HAVE TO SELL IT.THIS THIS IS THEM STEPPING UP AND SAYING, HEY, WE UNDERSTAND YOU'RE KIND OF STUCK. YOU NEED YOU NEED TO EXPAND. AND WE'RE BECAUSE WE LOVE INDIAN TOWN AND WE'RE INVESTED IN INDIAN TOWN.
WE'RE WILLING TO STEP FORWARD AND HELP YOU GUYS OUT THAT WAY. SO THE APPRAISAL VALUE OF THIS PROPERTY IS INSUFFICIENT. INSUFFICIENT ISSUE TO DENY THE PURCHASE. ON TOP OF THAT, WE HAVE THE FUNDING FROM THE TAX REVENUE TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. THAT MONEY HAS TO BE USED FOR SPECIFIC THINGS. AND THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE SOME OF THE MONEY THAT'S COMING IN TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE. ALONGSIDE THAT, WE HAVE HOPEFULLY THE OPPORTUNITY TO SELL THE BIG PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT WE CAN'T USE AND PUT A BIG CHUNK OF MONEY BACK INTO OUR POT. AND I'M THRILLED TO DO THAT. MY FEAR IS THAT IF WE DON'T MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION TONIGHT, THAT WE WILL BE LOOKING AT SPENDING THAT KIND OF MONEY TO HAVE A PLACE TO BUILD THE KIND OF MONEY WE ALREADY MISTAKENLY SPENT ON PURCHASING THAT LOT. NOW THE MAYOR HAS COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THAT, WHICH IS FANTASTIC. AND I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT MOVING FORWARD. BUT TONIGHT WE'RE DISCUSSING THE LIMITED OPPORTUNITY TO, FOR THE CHEAPEST AMOUNT OF MONEY WE ARE EVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A PIECE OF PROPERTY TO BUILD ON. IS ON OUR PLATE NOW. SO WE HAVE TO MAKE THIS DECISION. OKAY.
CAN WE DO WE WANT, CAN WE TAKE A VOTE ON THIS AND JUST GET IT OVER WITH? IF YOU WANT TO.
ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. SO IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION HE SAID WE DIDN'T NEED A MOTION.
RIGHT. SO WHAT IS THE FINAL PRICE FOR THAT PURCHASE OF THAT PROPERTY? THE FINAL PRICE IS THE PRICE THAT WAS ON THE OPTION CONTRACT, $375,000. OKAY. THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A MOTION? SO THE MAYOR ASKED IF YOU COULD HAVE A MOTION. YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN. AND THE MOTION COULD BE GIVE NO OTHER DIRECTION AND ALLOW IT TO PROCEED TO CLOSING. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE GIVE NO OTHER ADVERSE DIRECTION AND ALLOW THE CONTRACT TO PROCEED TO CLOSING. OKAY. MOTION MADE
[01:00:04]
BY COUNCILWOMAN ONSLAUGHT. YOU HAVE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN PALMER. ALL IN FAVOR? I ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY. MOVING ON. OKAY. LET'S[DISCUSSION ITEMS]
JUST. I GOT A COUPLE THINGS WE NEED TO DISCUSS. THE FIRST THING IS, I THINK YOU ALL HAVE AT THE JOINT MEETING DATES. SHOULD HAVE. YOU HAVE IT. IT'S A SEPARATE PIECE OF PAPER RIGHT HERE. RIGHT. WHEN IT SAYS CITY. OKAY. WHAT CITY? STEWART. OKAY, SO THESE ARE QUARTERLY JOINT MEETINGS. SO FOR ME, I'LL GO. WHATEVER. WHATEVER DATE YOU ALL CHOOSE WHO'S WHO'S GOING TO BE ATTENDING THEM. I KNOW THAT COUNCILWOMAN PEREZ WAS AT THE LAST ONE. ARE THEY 9:00 AT THE BLAKE LIBRARY IN STEWART? THEY USUALLY LAST ANYWHERE FROM AN HOUR AND A HALF TO TWO HOURS MAX. AND. OKAY, I'LL GO TO THE MARCH 31ST. WE HAVE TO CHOOSE THE. OKAY. WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE CHOOSING. THESE ARE NOT. IT'S ONLY ONCE WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO CHOOSE A DATE FOR FEBRUARY AND FOR MARCH AND JUNE. JULY, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER. SO TO ME, FOR ME, IT DOESN'T MATTER.I'LL GO WHATEVER DAY IT IS. SO I DID SEND AN EMAIL. EACH MUNICIPALITY IS CHOOSING WHICH DATE WORKS BEST FOR THEM. SO YOU MAY PICK A DATE TONIGHT. AND THAT HONESTLY MAY NOT BE THE DATE THAT IT'S CHOSEN AMONGST AS MAJORITY. RIGHT? SO IT'S BASICALLY WHATEVER WORKS BEST BECAUSE THE CITY OF STEWART HAS ALREADY SENT THEIR LIST, AND IT MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM, OH, BERNSTEIN HAS INDICATED THAT MARCH 31ST WORKS FOR HER, SO THAT WORKS FOR YOU.
AND THE TWO OF YOU ARE THE ONES GOING THAT WE COULD SELECT THAT ONE. THAT'S FINE. THAT'S FINE FOR ME. OKAY, I'LL GO ANY DAY. IT DOESN'T MATTER. WHENEVER, WHENEVER THEY SAY IT IS, IT IS.
I JUST GO RIGHT NOW. I REALLY DON'T CARE. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT FAR IN LIFE YET. SO WHATEVER DATE YOU CHOOSE, I'LL MAKE MY SCHEDULE WORK WITH IT. SO LET'S DO THAT ONE. SO, WOULD YOU LIKE US TO JUST CIRCLE SOME DATES ON HERE AND GIVE THEM TO YOU? CIRCLE WHICHEVER DATE FOR WHICH MEETING WORKS WELL, WHICH MONTH OR WHICH QUARTER WORKS BEST FOR YOU? I'LL LET YOU CIRCLE MY DATES. OKAY. I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO STAFF. OKAY. THE OTHER THING I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS IS OUR LOT. I WOULD LIKE US TO. HAVE THE OUR STAFF RENEW THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAD WITH THE POWERS TO SELL THAT LOT. YEAH. IT JUST IT WAS ONLY FOR ONE YEAR AND IT HAS EXPIRED AND IT EXPIRED. YES. WAIT A MINUTE. DON'T WE HAVE A BUYER? I DO, THEN WE DON'T NEED THAT. WELL, UNLESS IT'S A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER COMMISSION. WELL, WE WE'RE BRINGING THE BUYER. WE'RE NOT PAYING A FULL COMMISSION. WELL, THE BUYER WANTS TO GO TO THE POWERS. GOOD. LET HIM PAY THE COMMISSION. THAT'S ONE THING I. YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN WITH YOU THE WHOLE WAY, BUT WE ARE NOT. I DON'T AGREE WITH RENEWING A CONTRACT THAT HAS EXPIRED WHEN WE'RE BRINGING THE BUYER TO THE TABLE. IF THE BUYER WANTS TO BE REPRESENTED. I LOVE KEVIN AND DAVID, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO NEGOTIATE THAT. YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GOOD WITH THAT. WE'RE NOT PAYING A FULL COMMISSION WHEN WE BROUGHT THE BUYER. AND I'M A REALTOR, I LOVE MY REALTOR FRIENDS, BUT THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT WORKS. LET'S SEE WHAT KIND OF BEFORE WE DO THAT, LET'S SEE WHAT THEY'RE WILLING TO DO. DOES EVERYBODY AGREE WITH THAT? PUT IT ON YOUR AGENDA. IF WE COULD SUGGEST IF IF THERE'S ANY KIND OF DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS ON THINGS, WE CAN PUT IT ON THE NEXT AGENDA, PLEASE. OKAY. YEAH. I JUST DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHEN WE'RE BRINGING THE BUYER TO PAY A FULL COMMISSION. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. A LOT OF MONEY. SORRY, DAVID. OKAY. ALL
[01:05:01]
RIGHT. SO ARE WE GOING TO PUT IT ON THE NEXT AGENDA, PLEASE? OKAY. ALRIGHT. OKAY. ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T GET A CHANCE? I WANT TO DISCUSS SOMETHING. OKAY.COUNCILWOMAN PALMER, YOU HAVE THE EMS MEETING AS PRIMARY. WE DO YOU. I DON'T YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE WERE SHOWING. YOU'RE THE PRIMARY. YOU WERE PRIMARY AND I'M SECONDARY. YES, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN THE EMS WORLD FOR A WHILE. IF YOU'VE NOT. NO, NO, NO. HOLD ON. I THINK THAT'S WORKS BETTER. YES. YOU'RE TOO QUICK TO GIVE THAT UP SO THAT THAT WOULD BE A NO NO. THAT'S A YES. SO BECAUSE I'M, I'M, YOU KNOW, YOU YOU'RE RETIRED. YOU CAN DO IT. THANK YOU. YES. DID I FULLY ASK. YEAH. FOR THAT I WAS IN THE PROCESS. I READ YOUR MIND, HONEY. GET OUT OF MY HEAD.
IT'S NOT SAFE. OKAY, SO I WILL DO THE EMS. YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT? YES. AND I WILL SEND YOU THE INFORMATION THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTY THAT THEY JUST WANT CONTACT INFORMATION. AND I WILL SEND THAT TO BOTH OF YOU AS ALTERNATE AND PRIMARY. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ANOTHER ONE IN NOVEMBER. WE HAVE ONE MEETING, TWO MEETINGS. TWO, TWO. WHAT ARE THE DATES OF NOVEMBER THE 4TH AND THE 18TH? THE. NO NO NO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE THAT'S THE COUNTY. YES.
NEVER MIND. I WAS LOOKING FOR. WELL I WAS GOING TO ASK. WE HAD TWO BECAUSE I THINK WE VOTED ON THAT SOME TIME AGO THAT THERE'D BE TWO MEETINGS IN THE MONTH OF 11TH AND 18TH, 11TH AND 18TH.
THANK YOU. SO IT WOULD BE THE IT WOULD BE THE TWO. I'M SORRY. IT'S GIVING ME DECEMBER. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOVEMBER THE 13TH. THAT SOUNDS BETTER. THE 13TH AND THE 20TH. YEAH. OH DID WE DO. WE DID THE SECOND AND THE THIRD. YES. BECAUSE 13TH AND THURSDAY IS THANKSGIVING. YEAH.
SO WE'RE SAYING, OH, I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SIXTH AND THE 13TH, 13TH AND THE 20TH. OKAY.
NO, THE FIRST THURSDAYS ARE THE RESERVE FOR PCAB. YEAH. WE GOT ONE MEETING IN NOVEMBER, 2 TO 2.
DO WE NEED TWO 13TH WE AND THE 20TH. DO WE NEED TO. WE MAY GET THERE AND NOT. YEAH, WELL YOU'LL BE SITTING HERE ON THE 20TH IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY ITEMS. OKAY. THAT'S FINE THEN. THEN WE WOULD. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE HERE. WHAT DAY? 20TH. OH, CALL IT IN. WE'RE ALL LEAVING FOR THANKSGIVING. DO WE NEED TWO MEETINGS IN NOVEMBER? I THINK WE VOTED ON THAT SOME TIME AGO, THAT THERE WOULD BE TWO MEETINGS IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER. SO ALL WITH YOU? YEP.
YEAH. WELL, SO, WAIT, SO THE TWO TWO WON'T BE HERE, RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE? NO. THAT THEY WON'T BE HERE. BE HERE BECAUSE WE NEED THREE IN THE SEAT TO HAVE A MEETING. WE NEED A QUORUM IN THE ROOM UNFORTUNATELY. OKAY, OKAY. I GUESS I'LL LEAVE AFTER THE MEETING. SO THERE'S THREE. WE'VE GOT THREE. WE GOT THREE, WE GOT THREE. YOU COULD BE EXCUSED THIS TIME. OKAY. YOU GOING TO ZOOM? HE DOESN'T HAVE TO ZOOM. IF I DO, YES HE DO.
[PUBLIC COMMENT]
DEPENDS WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA. OH, YEAH. OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? YES. MR. ROSENDO PACHECO. MR. PACHECO, WELCOME. I THINK I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY, BUT I WANT TO CLARIFY. EITHER YOU, KAREN, OR THE ATTORNEY COULD ANSWER THIS, BUT I LEARNED THAT IT'S BETTER NOT TO GET PERMISSION TO LIVE ON SOMEWHERE OR USE SOME PROPERTY. AND THEN WE GOT BETTER RIGHTS THAN ASKING FOR PERMISSION, AND THEN THEY COULD TAKE AWAY THE PERMISSION. THEN WE LOSE OUR RIGHTS. IS THAT THE WAY I. I'LL LET HIM ANSWER THAT. YES. BECAUSE I WANT TO CLARIFY FOR THE PEOPLE AND FOR ME, IF I'M USING THIS PROPERTY. AND I NEVER TOLD THE, THE THE ONE THAT'S HOLDING THAT LINE AND THEY NEVER KNOWN. SO THAT MEANS I HAVE JUST AS MUCH RIGHTS ON THAT PROPERTY THAN IF I GO ASK THEM FOR PERMISSION. THEN THEY COULD TAKE IT AWAY, THE PERMISSION WHENEVER THEY WANT TO. SO I HAVE NO LONGER MY RIGHTS. SO. SO TWO THINGS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS AS THE COUNCIL ON THOSE. I CAN'T GIVE PRIVATE LEGAL ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC OR TO ANYBODY GENERALLY ABOUT GENERAL PROPOSITIONS OF LAW. THAT IS A NOTORIOUSLY COMPLICATED LITTLE BIT OF STUFF. THE GENERAL PRINCIPLE THERE THAT THAT COUNCIL MEMBER WAS REFERENCING THAT THINGS CAN TURN ON, IRONICALLY, IF YOU MIGHT HAVE BETTER ARGUMENTS, IF IT WAS WITHOUT PERMISSION THAN WITH PERMISSION. PERMISSION, THAT IS[01:10:05]
ONE OF THE MANY FACTORS THAT GOES INTO ADVERSE POSSESSION AND PRESCRIPTIVE EASEMENTS.IT'S NOT THE ONLY ONE. SO I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANY SINGLE DEFINITIVE RULE THAT WOULD GOVERN ANY. SO NOW WHAT'S YOUR THE ONLY COMMENT I'VE GOT IS YOU WOULD BE TRESPASSING AND YOU WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE LAW OF TRESPASSING ON SOMEONE ELSE'S PROPERTY. AND THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. BUT IF THEY NEVER FOUND OUT, LIKE YOU SAID, AND I'VE BEEN THERE FOR 20 YEARS, THEN THAT MEANS I HAVE A RIGHT TO THAT.
