          [Approval of Agreement for Water and Wastewater Master Plan 20-Year Capital Improvement Plan with Kimley-Horn and Associates in the amount of $420,880.00.]
OKAY, FIRST UP, WE GOT APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT FOR WASTEWATER FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN. I GUESS THAT WOULD BE PAT, RIGHT? YES, SIR. THAT'D BE ME. FOR THE RECORD, PAT NOLAN, PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES. WITH THIS ITEM IS IS APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN FOR A 20 YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, THE AMOUNT OF $420,880. SO WHAT THIS IS, IS IT'S A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN. SO WE'RE 
          [00:05:01]
GOING TO LOOK AT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE BOTH ON THE WATER AND WASTEWATER, SEE WHAT WE HAVE, SEE WHAT OUR DEFICIENCIES ARE, AND THEN BUILD A PLAN FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS SO THAT IT'S NOT IN MY HEAD ANYMORE. IT'S ON PAPER SO THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT OUR PLAN IS OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS. HOW THIS CAME ABOUT IS BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE THAT'S OCCURRING IN THE VILLAGE. WE DID A MASTER PLAN BACK IN 20 2122, BUT A LOT OF THINGS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THEN. THINGS HAVE CHANGED WITH OUR WITH WHAT'S GOING ON. IT'S NOT JUST THE GROWTH, IT'S JUST WHAT THE REALIZATION OF THE TEAM FIGURING OUT WHAT WE HAVE IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE VILLAGE AND OUR SHORTCOMINGS. SO THIS IS PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE. AND LIKE I NOTED EARLIER, IT'S A 20 YEAR PLAN. AND WHAT THIS WILL DO, WE'LL ALSO BE GOING TO WE'LL BE LOOKING AT WHAT MR. JENSEN, IF YOU DON'T KNOW TOM JENSEN FROM KIMLEY-HORN, HE'S GOING TO HEAD UP THE TEAM TO DO THIS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN OUTSIDE THE FENCE. WE'VE BEEN FOCUSING ON THE PLANTS AND WE HAVEN'T WE HAVE LOOKED AT OUTSIDE DEFENSE, BUT WE NEED TO TAKE A BETTER LOOK AT OUTSIDE DEFENSE. THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S OUT IN OUR STREETS, THE LINE THAT WE TALK ABOUT ON RAILROAD AVENUE. SO WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH THIS, WE WILL HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. THEN WHEN WE GO APPLY FOR GRANTS, NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN, THEY ASK YOU, DO YOU HAVE A SIP? WELL, YES WE DO. WE'RE NOT DOING IT JUST TO CHECK A BOX, BUT WE'RE DOING IT TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE. OKAY. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? DOES THIS INCLUDE CONTINUED REVIEW AND RECONSIDERATION AS THINGS CHANGE, LIKE WITH ROADS BEING MOVED AND YES, WIDENED AND SO ON AND SO FORTH, WILL THEY BE CONTINUING TO SUPPORT THE PLAN OVER THOSE 20 YEARS WHERE THEY COME BACK IN AND SAY, OH, BY THE WAY, THIS HAS CHANGED HERE. LET'S MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT WITHOUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF ADDITIONAL FEES. TO BE HONEST, THERE WILL PROBABLY BE FEES IN THE FUTURE AND WE HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO LOOK AT IT EVERY FIVE YEARS AT THE VERY LEAST, BECAUSE THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE, BECAUSE AS WE MAKE CHANGES, THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT OTHER THINGS, TO CREATE OTHER CHANGES. SO HOW LONG IS THIS? PLAN GOING TO TAKE TO COMPLETE? I WILL DEFER TO MR. JENSEN ON THAT. OKAY. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. SURE. TOM JENSEN KIMLEY-HORN THIS MASTER PLAN, IT'S FAIRLY INTENSIVE AS FAR AS THE WORK GOES INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY, BECAUSE WE NEED TO DO SOME MORE EXPLORATORY WORK TO CONFIRM PIPE SIZES WITH WITH PAT AND HIS STAFF AND IVAN AND JAIME AS WELL. IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE AND I AND I WILL DO. WE'VE BEEN DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN AS FAR AS THE VILLAGE TO EXPEDITE THINGS. SAME THINGS WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING WITH THE WATER PLANT, PROBABLY IT'S GOING TO TAKE FIVE MONTHS TO DO THIS JUST IN ORDER TO GET ALL THE HYDRAULIC MODEL COMPLETED. 
          AND THEN WHAT WE DO IS WE GO THROUGH AND COLLECT EVEN MORE DATA OUT IN THE SYSTEM TO, I CALL IT TRUTH TO MODEL. AND THEN WE DEVELOP BASICALLY WORKING WITH STAFF AS TO WHERE WE HAVE PATENT. I BELIEVE WE KNOW WHERE SOME OF THE REAL PROBLEM AREAS ARE, BUT WE REALLY HAVE TO DIAL IN MORE. AS YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW WE'RE KIND OF DOING A SEAT OF OUR PANTS. 
          WE KIND OF KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE, AND WE GO OUT AND INVESTIGATE IT. NOW WE'LL HAVE A TRUE MODEL WHEN WHEN THE DEVELOPER COMES IN AND IT'S AT THIS POINT OVER HERE, I CAN EASILY PULL THEM ALL UP. I'LL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF FIRE FLOW WE'RE GETTING. IF WE MEET THE DEMANDS, WHAT THEIR WHAT THEIR REQUIREMENT WILL BE TO EXTEND CERTAIN MAINS WHICH WILL BE BENEFICIAL GOING FORWARD WITH FOR DEVELOPERS, THEY MAY HAVE TO EXTEND SOME MAINS TO MAKE THEIR DEVELOPMENT WORK. WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN PLACE RIGHT NOW, BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE LIKE FIVE MONTHS TO GET THE ENTIRE MODEL DONE. WITH THE 20 YEAR CIP ALL BUILT, HOW MUCH OF THE PLAN THAT WE'VE ALREADY SPENT MONEY HAVING CREATED SEVERAL YEARS AGO, ARE YOU ABLE TO UTILIZE TO. THERE ISN'T A WHOLE LOT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, ONLY FROM THE STANDPOINT OF SOME OF THE EXISTING PIPE IN THE SYSTEM THAT WAS BUILT YEARS AGO. EVEN SOME OF THAT WASN'T REALLY TRUE. WHAT PAT AND I AND STAFF HAVE HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE SOME THERE'S SOME MISSING INFORMATION. THERE'S A LOT OF MISSING PIPE TO PIPE SIZES WEREN'T WHAT WE THOUGHT THEY WERE BACK IN THE DAY. WE HAVE A FAR BETTER HANDLE ON THE SYSTEM TODAY. AND LIKE PAT SAID, MOST MOST NEPALIS WHEN YOU HAVE THIS IS NOW DOESN'T STAY. JUST GO ON THE SHELF AND STAY THERE. IT'S A WORKING DOCUMENT. AND AS STAFF GETS INFORMATION, THEY CAN PROVIDE THAT. WE CAN UPDATE THE MODEL AS WE GO FORWARD. BUT MOST MUNICIPALITIES GO THROUGH AN UPDATE, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR GROWTH. WE'RE SEEING MORE LIKELY IT'S GOING TO BE FIVE YEARS, BUT ONCE YOU HAVE THE MODEL BUILT, IT'S A SIMPLER THING TO TO BASICALLY UPDATE. 
          WILL WE HAVE MARKERS LIKE A SURVEY, SURVEY MARKERS WHERE EVERYTHING IS THAT CAN BE EASILY FOUND IN THE FUTURE. WE'RE GETTING THERE. WE'RE NOT THERE YET. HOPEFULLY SOME OF THE STUFF WE'RE DOING, BECAUSE PART OF THE PROJECT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING WHEN WE DON'T KNOW WHERE CERTAIN PIPES ARE, WE DON'T KNOW WHERE CERTAIN SIZES ARE. WE HAVE IN OUR CONTRACT. I 
          [00:10:05]
CALL IT SOFT DIGS. WE'LL GO OUT THERE AND BASICALLY EXCAVATE DOWN AND CONFIRM. PIPE MATERIAL IS VERY IMPORTANT AND ALSO PIPE SIZES. SO WE KNOW SOME AREAS THAT WE AREN'T CERTAIN. SO WE'LL GO OUT THERE AND I CALL IT TO DO THE SOFT DIG TO CONFIRM MATERIAL BECAUSE THAT'S A BIG A PART OF IT, THE MATERIAL WE KNOW SOME OF THE AGE, BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF THE PROGRAM FOR THE CIP, IS TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM WHERE WE HAVE DEFICIENCIES, NOT ONLY FROM A HYDRAULIC PERSPECTIVE, WHERE WE CAN'T MEET FIRE FLOW, WHERE GINO'S PIECE OVER HERE IS, WE CAN'T MEET FIRE FLOW. THAT'S WHAT WE GOT TO PUT FIRE SPRINKLERS IN THE BUILDINGS. 
          WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO PREVENT THAT IN THE FUTURE. AND PLUS, WHERE WE KNOW WHERE WE HAVE, I CALL IT CEMENT, ASBESTOS PIPE OR OLD CAST IRON PIPE. THOSE ARE GOING TO BE AREAS WHERE WE WANT TO GO THROUGH AND REPLACE, ESPECIALLY SOME OF THE PIPES WE HAVE BEHIND THE HOMES THAT ARE LITERALLY TWO INCH GALVANIZED PIPES, BUT THEY'RE OVER 40 YEARS OLD AND THEY'RE NOT TWO INCHES ANYMORE. THEY'D BE LUCKY IF THEY'RE INCH AN INCH AND A HALF. SO THAT'S GOING TO HELP EVERYBODY FROM A LEVEL OF SERVICE, PROTECTION AND PROVIDING MORE PRESSURE IN THEIR HOUSE AND ALSO FOR FIRE FLOW. AND WE ALSO COMMISSIONER OR COUNCIL MEMBER, WE WE ALSO PLAN TO GET ALL THIS ON OUR GIS. OKAY. SO THAT WILL HELP US WITH THAT. SO THEN THAT WAY WE WILL BE ABLE TO BETTER IDENTIFY I DON'T WANT TO SEE US DO A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THEN LOSE THINGS. I MEAN, I KNOW IT SOUNDS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE IT'S IN THE GROUND, BUT WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH WITH PIPE AND OTHER OTHER EQUIPMENT, IT CAN YOU CAN GET OFF. WHERE WHERE WAS THAT FIVE YEARS AGO? I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE TECHNOLOGY NOW WHERE YOU CAN PUT BEACON BEACONS OUT, FOR LACK OF BETTER WORD MARKERS. YES. YOU IN PARALLEL TO THIS CIP PLAN, WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED A GIS PROGRAM THROUGH A GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED. OKAY, SO WE HAVE GONE OUT. THE CONTRACTOR WENT OUT WITH OUR PEOPLE AND CATEGORIZED ALL OF THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE ALREADY. OKAY. AND THEN IT'S BEING PLOTTED ON THE GIS PROGRAM. SHE'LL BE BACK TO PLOT THE WASTEWATER SO THAT WHEN WE'RE DONE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL ALL OF THE ASSETS THAT WE HAVE IN THE SYSTEM PRESENTLY WILL BE ON GIS. AND WILL THEY HAVE ACCESS TO WHAT YOU HAVE NOW IN ORDER TO HELP THEM START THIS PLAN? OKAY. AND IS THAT SAVING US MONEY? YES, THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE. AND THEN IN THE FUTURE, THE WAY THE GIS WORKS IS OUR EMPLOYEES WILL BE ABLE TO GO OUT WITH EITHER A TABLET OR A CELL PHONE AND CALL THAT INFORMATION UP ON SITE. SO YOU DON'T YOU DON'T NEED YOU DON'T NEED THE MAP THAT'S BACK AT THE PLANT THAT'S THIS BIG, RIGHT? RIGHT. IT'S ALSO 60 YEARS OLD. YEAH. THAT'S WHAT I WAS ASKING ABOUT. YES, WE'RE DOING THAT IN PARALLEL. WE ACTUALLY ALREADY STARTED IT. AND AGAIN, WHEN WE'RE WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH THAT, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO PUT IT ON THE WEBSITE. SO IT'LL BE SO PEOPLE NOT TO DIG. YES THAT'S PART OF IT. SO NOT TO RUN THEIR HEAVY EQUIPMENT SO THAT THE RESIDENTS CAN ALSO SEE WHAT WE HAVE AS FAR AS AND WE'RE ALSO DOING AN ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN AS PART OF THE GIS PROGRAM SO THAT WE KNOW WHAT IS OUT THERE, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, PUT IT ON SERVICE PLAN AND EXACTLY ALL OF THAT. OKAY. SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE GOT IT FIGURED OUT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWER. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, PLEASE. SURE. WITH THIS LIVING DOCUMENT, WHERE THE FUNDING, WHERE'S THE FUNDING COMING FROM? WE DO. WE ALREADY HAVE IT. WE'RE GOING TO TRY. PART OF THE PLAN IS PART OF THE 22 MILLION THAT WE RECEIVED. THERE'S WE CAN WE BELIEVE WE CAN CAPTURE SOME OF THE FUNDING FROM THAT. WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE DEP, THE DOCUMENTS THAT WE'VE SEEN ON OUR SIDE, IT SAYS THAT YOU CAN DO THAT. WE JUST HAVE TO CONFIRM IT WITH THEM. OKAY. THAT'S ABOUT 60% OF THE COST. THE REST OF IT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PULL OUT OF THE UTILITY BUDGET. WE SHOULD HAVE THE MONEY THERE FOR THE BALANCE. 
          WE'RE LIKE I SAID, WE'RE LOOKING AT 60%. IT'S LIKE $265,000 FOR THE WATER SIDE. 
          WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET OUT OF THE GRANT. OKAY. AWESOME. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? PUBLIC COMMENTS? NO, SIR. OKAY. DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT? MAKE A MOTION. MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. THANK YOU. OKAY. UNANIMOUS VOTE. 
          THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO BACK UP A LITTLE BIT AND HAVE A LIEUTENANT ADDRESS US. 
          WE GOT A LITTLE CHANGE OF PERSONNEL OUT HERE, AND YOU'RE GOOD. CHANGE YOUR AD. RIGHT. 
          FOLLOW THAT UP. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. I'LL KEEP IT SHORT AND SWEET. I JUST WANTED TO BE HERE TONIGHT SO I COULD INTRODUCE OUR NEW COP DEPUTY. THAT'S GOING TO BE ASSIGNED TO INDIANTOWN DEPUTY MARIO PIERRE. HE'S A VETERAN DEPUTY HERE AT THE MARTIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. HE'S BEEN IN COP FOR QUITE SOME TIME. HE'S JUST BEEN IN A COMMUNITY OVER ON THE COAST. SO DEPUTY LOPEZ HAS MOVED ON TO DIFFERENT THINGS. SO IF WE HAD TO REPLACE DEPUTY LOPEZ, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY WE DO, THIS IS ABOUT THE BEST CANDIDATE THAT WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN. SO BEFORE EVERYONE'S GONE, WE'LL MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S INTRODUCED. I KNOW WE ALREADY DID THAT WITH A FEW PEOPLE, BUT HE'S GOING TO BE OUR MAIN POINT OF CONTACT FOR 
          [00:15:04]
THINGS THAT WE NEED IN THE COMMUNITY. ALL RIGHT. WONDERFUL. HAVE A GREAT NIGHT. THANK YOU. 
          WAIT, BEFORE YOU LEAVE, I HAVE A QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE ON. IS THIS THE PLACE I CAN'T YEAH OKAY. I HAD THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT SOME SHOOTING AT IN THE BACK BEHIND MANATEE STREET OVER WHERE I LIVE AT. SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS WERE SAYING AT NIGHT, I GUESS AFTER 8 OR 9:00, PEOPLE OUT THERE JUST SHOOTING. SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GUYS ARE AWARE OF THAT. I'LL LOOK AT IT. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT. BUT WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL GO BACK AND I'LL PULL UP OUR CALL HISTORY, SEE IF ANYTHING LIKE THAT'S BEEN POPPING UP. BUT WHETHER IT IS OR NOT HASN'T BEEN IN OUR SYSTEM. I'LL PUT IT OUT TO THE GUYS AND WE'LL MAKE SURE WE HAVE EXTRA PRESENCE OUT THERE AT NIGHT. OKAY? THANK YOU. YEP, YEP. OKAY, I HAVE A QUESTION. YEP. HAS THE BURGLARY THE CAR BURGLARY HAS BEEN DEALT WITH, OR ARE WE GETTING CLOSE TO FINDING OUT WHAT'S GOING ON? SO WE MADE AN ARREST OF FIVE INDIVIDUALS. THEY'RE ALL LOCAL HERE. THEY'RE JUVENILES, 16, 17 YEARS OLD. THEY DID A SERIES OF CAR BURGLARIES. I WANT TO SAY EITHER LATE, LATE OCTOBER OR EARLY NOVEMBER. THEY WERE ARRESTED AND RELEASED. THEY HAVE COURT DATES, I BELIEVE, IN JANUARY. THEY ARE ALSO BELIEVED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A COUPLE OF THE ONES THAT HAPPENED THE WEEKEND BEFORE THANKSGIVING. CHARGES HAVEN'T BEEN BROUGHT ON THOSE PARTICULAR CASES YET, BUT THEY'RE BELIEVED TO BE THE SAME EXACT PEOPLE, SO THEY DON'T LEARN. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DO. JUST TAKES TIME SOMETIMES. SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. WE'LL GIVE THEM THEIR CHANCE TO GO TO COURT AND SEE SEE HOW IT SHAKES OUT. SO, LIEUTENANT MCCARTHY, IT IS VERY NICE TO SEE THE EXTRA CARS IN THE MORNING OF THE DEPUTIES IN THE CARS, AND IN THE AFTERNOON TRAFFIC IS SLOWING DOWN, SO THAT'S GOOD. AWESOME. YEAH. WELL, SINCE YOU BRING IT UP, I'LL JUST. I WON'T TAKE UP MUCH MORE OF YOUR TIME. SO SINCE WE STARTED THAT INITIATIVE IN NOVEMBER, DATING BACK IN OCTOBER, WE HAD 153 TRAFFIC CITATIONS WRITTEN HERE IN INDIANTOWN ALONE SINCE THE INITIATIVE STARTED. AND WE GOT THE EXTRA TRAFFIC DEPUTY OUT HERE IN NOVEMBER. WE WROTE ABOUT 320 TRAFFIC CITATIONS, SO WE ALMOST DOUBLED THAT NUMBER, OR WE DID DOUBLE THAT NUMBER, AND WE'RE ON TRACK TO DOUBLE IT AGAIN HERE IN DECEMBER FROM THE ORIGINAL OCTOBER NUMBER. SO THAT EXTRA DEPUTY WRITING TICKETS JUST IN THOSE COUPLE HOURS IN THE MORNING DURING RUSH HOUR AND DURING RUSH HOUR IN THE AFTERNOON, IS PROVING TO BE REALLY EFFECTIVE IN SLOWING PEOPLE DOWN. ABOUT 80% OF THOSE TICKETS ARE ALL FOR SPEED. SO DO YOU KNOW IF THEY ARE LOCAL OR IF THEY ARE PEOPLE COMING THROUGH? I WOULD HAVE TO GO AND LOOK IT UP. IT'S A MIXTURE. IT DEPENDS, BECAUSE THEY'RE HITTING CITRUS JUST AS HARD AS THEY'RE HITTING SEVEN, TEN AND 609. MOST OF THE CITRUS ARE LOCAL, LIKE THE 609. ARE PEOPLE GOING UP TO PORT SAINT LUCIE THE BACK WAY? SO IT JUST DEPENDS. BUT I CAN FIND THAT OUT FOR YOU. IT'S NOTHING. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YES, MA'AM. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. THANK YOU. 
          [Option Agreement for Sale of Village Owned Parcel at 15225 SW Warfield Blvd.]
GOOD NIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY, BACK ON TRACK HERE. THE OPTION AGREEMENT. SALE VILLAGE OWNED PROPERTY. GO AHEAD. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. MAYOR, MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS. GOOD EVENING. 
          PER YOUR DIRECTION AT YOUR LAST COUNCIL MEETING, THIS ITEM IS FOR YOUR REVIEW AND POTENTIAL APPROVAL OF AN OPTION AGREEMENT FOR THE SALE OF THE VILLAGE'S FIVE ACRE PARCEL UP ON WARFIELD. 
          THE. I'M GOING TO GO OVER THE BASIC TERMS OF THE OPTION AGREEMENT, JUST FOR YOUR BENEFIT AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC. THE OPTION AGREEMENT THAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT PROVIDES THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER OR OPTIONEE, A NOT FOR PROFIT CORPORATION CALLED BUILDING TOMORROW'S INFRASTRUCTURE, INC. WITH AN OPTION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY FOR $3 MILLION. UNDER THE AGREEMENT, THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER WOULD PAY AN OPTION FEE OF $75,000 FOR AN OPTION TERM OF ONE YEAR FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE OPTION AGREEMENT. 
          THE OPTION PROVIDES. THE OPTION AGREEMENT PROVIDES DURING THE FIRST 90 DAYS OF THE OPTION PERIOD THAT THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER WOULD HAVE A DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD DURING WHICH THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER CAN CONDUCT INITIAL DUE DILIGENCE ON THE PROPERTY, AND IF BEFORE THE END OF THAT 90 DAY PERIOD, THEY CANCEL THE CONTRACT. TELL US IN WRITING THAT IT'S NOT SUITABLE FOR THEIR PURPOSES, THEN THE OPTION AGREEMENT WOULD TERMINATE. THEY WOULD GET 50,000 OF THAT 75,000 BACK. AND THAT'S JUST WITHIN THAT 90 DAY WINDOW. THE VILLAGE WOULD KEEP 25,000. SO THAT ACTUALLY IS A MATERIAL CHANGE FROM WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY BEFORE YOU IN THAT KIND OF FIRST DRAFT WRITTEN ON THERE. IN THAT FIRST ONE, AS WE DISCUSSED, BEST I COULD TELL, THAT WAS ALL 75,000 WOULD HAVE GONE BACK TO HIM NOW, 25,000 WOULD STAY WITH THE VILLAGE IF THEY EJECTED WITHIN THE FIRST 90 DAYS, THEY WOULD GET 50,000 BACK. IF THEY DON'T CANCEL WITHIN THAT 90 DAY DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD, THEN ALL 75,000 OF THAT OPTION FEE WOULD 
          [00:20:02]
BE KEPT BY THE VILLAGE. WHAT WE SAY IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS IS IT WOULD GO HARD AND IT WOULD BECOME THE VILLAGE'S AT THAT POINT, AND THE OPTION TERM WOULD PROCEED FOR THE BALANCE OF THE ONE YEAR PERIOD. THE OPTION AGREEMENT ALSO PROVIDES THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND THE OPTION TERM FOR ONE ADDITIONAL YEAR, FOR A NONREFUNDABLE PAYMENT OF ANOTHER 75,000 AT ANY TIME DURING THE OPTION PERIOD, THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER COULD EXERCISE THE OPTION, WHICH WOULD PUT THE VACANT LAND CONTRACT THAT'S ALSO ATTACHED TO THE ITEM AND INCORPORATED IN THE OPTION AGREEMENT INTO FULL EFFECT. THAT VACANT LAND CONTRACT IS A CLEAN FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS VACANT LAND CONTRACT, WITH NO CONTINGENCIES FOR FINANCING OR FURTHER DUE DILIGENCE OR ANYTHING, AND IT JUST PROVIDES. 
          ONCE THAT TRIGGERS, IT CLOSES 45 DAYS AFTER THEY EXERCISE THE OPTION. SO ONE ADDITIONAL THING, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WE HAVE THE PURCHASE PRICE OF $3 MILLION WITH THE OPTION FEE OF $75,000 AND THEN POTENTIAL EXTENSION FEE OF AN ADDITIONAL 75,000 IF THEY EXTENDED IT IN THE SECOND YEAR. THOSE AMOUNTS, THOSE 1 OR 2 $75,000 AMOUNTS ARE IN ADDITION TO THE 3 MILLION OFTENTIMES ON A ON A REAL ESTATE CONTRACT, YOU'LL SEE A DEPOSIT PUT DOWN. AND THAT DEPOSIT MAY GO HARD OR, YOU KNOW, BE THERE AT RISK. BUT IF IT GOES TO CLOSING, THAT DEPOSIT IS CREDITED TOWARDS THE PURCHASE PRICE. THAT'S NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE. SO IF IT IF THEY PROCEED PAST THE 90 DAYS EXERCISE, THE OPTION AT THE END OF ONE YEAR, THEY WOULD END UP HAVING PAID 75,000 TO THE CITY PLUS 3 MILLION AND GET THE PROPERTY, AS WAS ALSO DISCUSSED AT YOUR LAST MEETING, THE PROSPECTIVE BUYERS STATED INTENDED USE FOR THE PROPERTY IS FOR A HEALTH CARE CAMPUS. IF, AS YOU'LL RECALL FROM THE AGENDA ITEM IN MY EMAIL LAST WEEK, THEY HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A DELAY WITH THEIR ARCHITECT GETTING BACK THEIR CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN, I WAS ADVISED APPARENTLY IT WAS SENT ON TO BE SENT TO US, BUT IT WAS IN A FORMAT THAT THE ACTUAL PROSPECTIVE BUYER COULDN'T OPEN IN VIEW, SO THERE WAS JUST A TECHNICAL PROBLEM THERE. THE NEXT MORNING I CALLED AND INQUIRED ABOUT IT FURTHER, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT FROM THEIR ARCHITECT AND GOT IT OVER. AND IT'S BEEN UPLOADED TO THE AGENDA SYSTEM AND YOU'LL HAVE COPIES OF IT AS WELL. SO THAT IS THERE FOR FOR YOUR PERUSAL AS WELL. SO WITH THAT, STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE VILLAGE COUNCIL REVIEW AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE OPTION AGREEMENT. AND I'M GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF OKAY. 
          SO THE YEAR GOES BY AND THEY'RE GOING INTO YEAR TWO, THAT OTHER $75,000 BECOMES HARD RIGHT? AT THAT TIME. IMMEDIATELY. YEAH, IT BECOMES HARD THE SECOND. IT'S NO FURTHER DUE DILIGENCE. 
          YEAH. AND I'D JUST LIKE TO ADD IN IN LAST WEEK, MARTIN COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS RECEIVED AN UNSOLICITED NOT LAST WEEK THEY RECEIVED THIS UNSOLICITED, BUT THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED AN UNSOLICITED PROPOSAL FROM THE SAME COMPANY, THE SAME PRINCIPLES, THE SAME BOARD MEMBERS AS THIS AS THIS PROPOSED BTI TO BUILD A $74 MILLION, OVER 100,000 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY FOR MARTIN COUNTY TO MOVE THEIR FIELD OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES OFF OF. KANTER OVER BY GATEWAY, WHICH IS THE WAREHOUSE OVER ON KANTER. AND SO THIS COMPANY AND THEY ALSO BUILT THE HIGH SCHOOL. SO WHEN YOU GO ON THEIR WEBSITE YOU SEE YOU SEE THE PICTURE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL. AND THAT WAS AN 18 MONTH PROJECT VERY SUCCESSFUL. SO I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THEY'RE NOT NEW. THEY ARE ESTABLISHED. YEAH I WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THAT. IT IS NOT AT ALL UNUSUAL FOR AN ENTITY TO CREATE A NEW LLC OR A NEW CORPORATION TO START A NEW PROJECT. THAT'S VERY TYPICAL. THERE'S BEEN SOME RUMORS GOING AROUND THAT IT'S A NEW LLC. IT'S NOT. IT'S A VERY WELL ESTABLISHED, LIKE YOU SAID, COMPANY. THEY'RE JUST THIS IS A DIFFERENT ENTITY DOING A DIFFERENT PROJECT. AND FOR TAX PURPOSES, FOR A MEANS OF PROTECTING PROTECTING THE ASSETS OF THE COMPANIES. THIS IS ITS OWN ENTITY. SO IT IS VERY TYPICAL. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IT'S VERY TYPICAL THAT YOU WOULD START A NEW LLC OR A NEW CORPORATION IN ORDER TO WRITE THE CONTRACT IN THAT LEGAL ENTITIES NAME. SO I WANT TO ALLEVIATE ANY WORRY THAT Y'ALL 
          [00:25:01]
HAVE ABOUT IT BEING NEW. LIKE I SAID, THAT'S WAY BUSINESS IS DONE ALMOST ALL THE TIME. YEAH, IT'S A IT'S A COMMON BUSINESS PRACTICE. ANYBODY THAT'S BEEN IN BUSINESS BUSINESS WILL TELL YOU THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT. THAT'S HOW YOU PROTECT YOUR OTHER ASSETS. SO I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY WORRIES ABOUT THAT. AND I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF LLCS MYSELF. SO. ANY OTHER I THINK I THINK THEY'RE PRETTY SOLID. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON IT AND ON THE GROUP AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE THEY'RE A SOLID GROUP. SO BUT WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DO IS VOTE ON THIS CONTRACT. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE AND ACCEPT THE OPTION, THE MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. 
          SECOND. MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE AYE AYE. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ITEMS? NO. OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO, SIR. NO. WOW, THAT 
          [ANNOUNCEMENTS]
WAS QUICK. OKAY. WELL ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS? ANGELINA. ANGELINA I DO, YEAH I DO. LAST WEEK AT THE MARINA. MUSIC AT THE MARINA. IT WAS NICE. IT WAS CARIBBEAN STEEL DRUMS, WHICH WAS REALLY GOOD. ON THIS SUNDAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SMOOTH R&B AND JAZZ. IT STARTS AT 2 P.M.

          SO IT'S REALLY LIKE SUPPER CLUB MUSIC. IT'S REALLY, REALLY NICE. YOU'LL ENJOY HER AS WELL. ON JANUARY 31ST. YES, JANUARY. THAT'S A COUPLE OF WEEKS FROM NOW. WE'RE HAVING OUR ANNUAL ETHEL WATERS COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP, SO PLEASE COME OUT. THE FLIERS WILL PUT THOSE OUT, AND WE'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME CLEANING UP THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF INDIANTOWN. IF YOU'RE LEAVING, GET BREAKFAST, CUP OF COFFEE, SOME GLOVES, A JOKE OR TWO, AND SOME TRASH. THAT'S IT FOR ME. ANGELINA. NO ANNOUNCEMENTS TODAY. WHAT YOU GOT? NOTHING. 
          NOTHING. OKAY, WELL, CHECK ON HER. I DON'T HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A COMING TO THE CLOSE, THE LAST MEETING OF THE YEAR. 
          AND FOR ME, THIS PAST YEAR, I THINK WE'VE MADE GREAT STRIDES. I THINK WE'VE GOT A SOLID COUNCIL AND. THINGS ARE LOOKING REALLY GOOD FOR THE VILLAGE. AND AND WE'RE MAKING A STRONG, STRONG ENDING TO THE YEAR. AND I THINK THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR IS GOING TO BE EVEN BETTER, EVEN MORE EXCITING THAN THIS YEAR. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS IN THE PIPELINE AND. IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT. COMMUNITY IS GOING TO BE HAPPY. YOU KNOW, I LOOK FORWARD TO SITTING UP HERE AND TELLING YOU HOW WE NEED MORE PROPERTY AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH IT. AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE BUILDING A VILLAGE. WE'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE HERE FOREVER. AND HOWEVER THAT MAY BE. SO, YOU KNOW, THINGS ARE NOT EASY. I THINK EVERYBODY WANTS THE SAME THINGS. SOMETIMES WE HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS OF GETTING THERE. BUT I THINK AS A GROUP, AS A COMMUNITY, I THINK WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT IF WE'RE NOT, YOU KNOW? SO I LOOK FORWARD TO 2026. I LOOK FORWARD TO EVERYBODY HAVING A GREAT CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN, BUT I'LL BE THINKING OF EVERYBODY AND GREAT. SEE YOU WHEN I GET BACK. THANK YOU. SO HAPPY HOLIDAYS. YOUR NEXT MEETING IS JANUARY 8TH, 2026.
