[00:20:03]
COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF STUART FOR THE OFFICIAL RECORD. AND I AM HERE TO PRESENT THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH FOR JANUARY, 2021. IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TO BEING ABLE TO RECOMMEND TO YOU, MR HOGARTH. BUT BEFORE I DO, SO I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIS BACKGROUND. MR HOGARTH WAS ORIGINALLY HIRED, AS ARE THE CITY OF STUART'S FIRST PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER IN 2016, AND HE'S FILLED VERY A LOT OF DIFFERENT IMPORTANT ROLES FOR THE CITY OF STUART OVER HIS FOUR YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT WITH US. IT WAS UNIQUE SKILLS AND ADAPTABILITY BEEN SERVED IN MULTIPLE ROLES FOR THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT. HIS ORIGINAL DUTIES BEGAN WITH CREATING THE COMMUNICATIONS PLAN, WHICH WE UTILIZE EVERY DAY NOW. AND ALSO LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS AND SEEING THE CITY'S SPECIAL EVENTS PERMITTING PROCESS. HIS RESPONSIBILITIES OVER THE YEARS HAVE GROWN TO BE INCLUDED THE CITY'S RIVER ADVOCATE. AND ALSO PROUDLY SERVED ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE FOR THE CITY OF STUART. ENDS A NATURAL WHEN IT COMES TO BUREAUCRATIC PROCESS. I ALWAYS SAY TO MYSELF, I COULD BE HERE AND GOVERNMENT FOR 50 YEARS AND I WOULD PALE IN COMPARISON TO HIS NATURAL APTITUDE TO THE BUREAUCRATIC PROCESS. HIS WRITING ABILITY IS EXCELLENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO POLICY AND PROCEDURE. IN ADDITION, BEN'S ABILITY TO GRAPH SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION HAS PROVEN TO BE VERY VALUABLE TO THE CITY OF STUART IS THE COMMISSION PRIORITIZED THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE ST LUCIE RIVER A FEW YEARS AGO. I ALWAYS SAY THAT COMMUNITY SERVICES HAS OUR CORE RESPONSIBILITIES WITH, OF COURSE, OUR ROOTS WITH THE PARKS AND RECREATION. HOWEVER UM WE ARE CHAMELEONS OF BEING ABLE TO ADJUST AND CHANGE OUR COLORS TO ADAPT TO THE COMMISSION'S DESIRES THE CITY MANAGER'S DESIRES. AND THEN IT'S DONE A BEAUTIFUL JOB OF BEING ABLE TO CHANGE HIS COLORS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SERVE YOU AND THE RESIDENTS OF CITY OF STUART VERY, VERY EFFECTIVELY. YOU, TOO. MR HOGARTH'S DEDICATION IN DIVERSE SKILL SETS THE BENEFIT THAT THE CITY OF STUART I'M RECOMMENDING HIM AS. JANUARY'S EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH. DID YOU WRITE THAT? HUH? ACTUALLY, I HAD LIVED HALF OF IT.YEAH. YEAH, DON'T DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM. GOOD YOU GET TO SPEAK OF A HALF OF YOURSELF.
NONE OF THE CITY TODAY. HE'S THE ONE GUY THAT COULD USE IT. HEY, HEY, HEY. ALL THOSE FIVE MINUTES WERE ADDING UP ALL THE TIMES. I COULD'VE SPOKE BEFORE, AND SO, YEAH, YOU'LL HAVE TO TELL HIM ABOUT ALL THE PHONE CALLS I MAKE YOU FEEL THAT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY REGARDING THE RIVER SO. IT'S TRUE, BUT YOU KNOW, THE ONE THING I COULD SAY IS I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO, UH, TO HAVE DONE ALL THESE ROLLS OVER THE OVER THE PAST WILL BE ACTUALLY FIVE YEARS NEXT MONTH FOR ME. WHICH I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE HOW QUICKLY THAT TIME HAS GONE BY.
BUT IT'S I MEAN, I APPRECIATE JAMMING ALL THE YOU KNOW FROM THE DAY I HAD MY INTERVIEW HERE TOO NOW. IT'S BEEN A ROLLER COASTER OF JUST SO MANY DIFFERENT. JIM LIKES TO CALM A CURVEBALL. THEY'RE THROWN AT US AND BEING IN A RECREATION DEPARTMENT ALSO, WHAT MAKES SENSE ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS, AND I CERTAINLY THINK THE COMMISSION FOR ALL THE OPPORTUNIT TO. TOE WORK ON THESE PROJECTS. SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE. WHAT WHAT WE AS A TEAM PUT TOGETHER I'M REALLY, REALLY PROUD OF EVERYBODY THAT WAS ON THAT TEAM, PROUD OF CITY MANAGER AND EVERYBODY ELSE WHO SUPPORTED US THROUGH THAT PROCESS. CERTAINLY JIM. YOU KNOW, BEING SUPPORTIVE OF ME HAVING THAT ROLE? I THINK THAT'S A BIG THING FOR THE CITY.
IT'S A FIRST TIME FOR US. JIM WASN'T KIDDING WHEN HE SAID THAT I'M A BIG BUREAUCRATIC II.
HEARD THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE, AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. THEN I HAD A PROFESSOR WHO USED TO TEACH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE. AND SHE SAID, YOU'RE THE YOU'RE THE MOST BUREAUCRATIC GUY I'VE EVER KNOWN. SHE SAYS. YOU REMIND ME OF A STUDENT I HAD THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE WANTED. UP AND IN THE PAST, I SAID, WHO WAS THAT? AND SHE SAID IT WAS AL GORE E SAID, OKAY, THAT MAKES SENSE. SO YOU KNOW, SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, THE ONE THING THAT I'VE LEARNED IS THAT THE CITY OF STUA. DOESN'T JUST EXCEL AT BEING THE FIRST AND THINGS WELL AGAIN WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH THE B MAPS, WHICH FOR FOLKS DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS. THAT'S THAT'S US MAKING SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE PUTTING INTO THE RIVER IS CLEAN, NOT DIRTY. I MEAN, THE CITY HAS JUST EXCELLED. WE'VE HAD SO MANY
[00:25:02]
LEADERS, AND I CAN CERTAINLY THINK DAVE PEERS WHO HAD JUST JUST LEFT US. HE WAS ONE OF THOSE INSPIRATIONAL VOICES AND CERTAINLY SOMEONE THAT I'M GONNA MISS VERY MUCH BUT GLAD THAT HE'S AROUND. AND ANYWAY, I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S TIME. I'M CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO TAKE AN HOUR HERE. BUT THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH AGAIN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AT THIS TIME, I'LL GIVE WAY TO THE CITY CLERK AND THE CITY MANAGER WITH REGARD TO OUR TIMEFRAME FOR STARTING AT 4 P.M. AND THEN TO HAVE. BUSINESS OR CITY COMMISSION. COMMENTS START AT 5 30 CITY MANAGER MADAM MAYOR, WE DID NOT ADVERTISE IN TIME CERTAIN FOR THE COMMISSIONER COMMENTS SO YOU MAY START AT ANYTIME THE BOARD PLEASES. S SO IT'S WHATEVER THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD IS. THE BOARD IS TO CONTINUE WITH THE MEDIA AND HAVE THE COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS NOW. HAVE THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD. WHAT WOULD BE ONE OF. YES. YOU KNOW, WE COULD DO THAT. I AGREE. OKAY, SO WE'LL HAVE COMMENTS BY SO THE[COMMENTS BY CITY COMMISSIONERS]
COMMISSIONERS COMMISSIONER BRUNER. HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY. COMMISSION BRUNER.JUST THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MISSION MCDONALD. ALREADY OR GOOD AFTERNOON. I GUESS IT IS MORNING LONG DAY ANYWAYS. HAPPY NEW YEAR AND I HOPE EVERYBODY HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S HOLIDAY, AND I JUST WANTED A COUPLE OF QUICK THINGS I WANT TO BRING UP. ONE IS MR DALLAS. COULD WE SEE ABOUT GETTING SOME ENFORCEMENT? BUT LAW ENFORCEMENT ENFORCEMENT DOWNTOWN IN THE CROSSWALKS. FOREST PEOPLE CROSSING THE CROSSWALKS. IT'S AH. YOU EVER SO OFTEN? WE NEED TO DO THAT BECAUSE NOBODY STOPS FOR ANYBODY IN THE CROSSWALKS. THAT WOULD BE GREAT AND ALSO SPEEDING ON OSCEOLA STREET. I'VE BEEN SURPRISED HOW FAST SOME PEOPLE YOU KNOW, AND IT'S SATURDAY. IT'S THAT'S THE FOLKS HADN'T THE WORK IT A TO HOSPITAL. MOST OF THEM, UM. SO WE COULD LOOK AT THAT. AND THEN I DID GET A COMPLAINT TODAY ABOUT SPEEDING ON RIVERSIDE DRIVE DOWN BY MARTIN AVENUE. I DON'T KNOW SURE, IF IT WAS ONE CAR 10 CARS, BUT THERE'S NOT MUCH TRAFFIC THERE SO. I THOUGHT I'D THROW IT IN. SO THAT WAS BRINGING IT UP. ANYWAYS. UM. THEY ALSO HAVE GOTTEN ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION AT THE, UH, NOT THE BUILDING ITSELF WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OVER AT THE STORAGE FACILITY. I TALKED TO KEVIN FREEMAN, AND HE'S GONNA CALL. NEIGHBOR BUT THIS HAS BEEN OF HEAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM NEIGHBORS REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION OVER THERE, SO AND THEY'VE BEEN STAFF HAS BEEN A GREAT JOB OF GETTING THOSE ISSUES RESOLVED SO. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE AND FINALLY, UM, THE BLUE SIGNS THAT WE HAVE PUT UP WHEN WE'RE HAVING A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. THEY SEEM TO NEVER GET TAKEN DOWN. AND WE I CAN. THERE ARE SIGNS THAT I KNOW THAT WE'RE THERE ARE FROM BEFORE 2018. AND THEY'RE ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND I THINK THAT I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE TO CHANGE OUR ORDINANCE OR MAYBE ADJUST TO DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CAN JUST MAKE SURE YOU KNOW, JUST CALL THE DEVELOPERS. AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET TAKEN DOWN BECAUSE THEY'RE THERE FOREVER. THEY NEVER SEEN THEM DOWN. SO THAT'S COINCIDENCES WORK. I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THAT THIS MORNING MYSELF AND I STARTED TO EMAIL.
DEVELOPERS TO START LOOKING AT WHETHER WHERE THEY HAVE SIGNS THERE IS. COPRA VISION THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE THE SIGNS DOWN, HAFTAR. THE KAREN'S BEEN HELD IN MAY FIGHT HAVE BEEN DENIED OR APPROVED, SO. IT'S A COINCIDENCE, BUT I DID START LOOKING AT THOSE THIS MORNING.
THAT'S GREAT. YES KIND OF FUNNY HOW THEY JUST NEVER SEEM TO COME DOWN, ESPECIALLY IF THE PROJECT DOESN'T GET BUILT ITS. BUT EVEN SOME. I'VE SEEN SOMEWHERE THE PROJECT'S APPROVED AND THEY'RE DOING THINGS AND IT'S. IT'S SMALL, LIKE URBAN CODE EXCEPTIONS, AND, UH AND THIS MAN, I THINK WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY ACTUALLY HIRE A SIGN COMPANY. YES, TO GET THE SIGN, SO THERE'S NO ONE. THE DEVELOPERS SIDE WHO WAS ASSIGNED TO THAT TASK, AND IT JUST KIND OF FALLS THROUGH THE CRACKS, BUT WE'LL ADDRESS IT AND FIX IT. THANK YOU. THANKS, MR FREEMAN. THANK YOU. AND THEN JUST FINALLY, UH, WASN'T SURE IF I WAS GOING TO SAY ANYTHING OR NOT, BUT I THINK I'M GOING TO WITH THE EVENTS OF LAST WEEK. I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT YOU KNOW WE'RE ALL ONE COUNTRY ALL HERE TOGETHER. WE'RE NOT. WE'RE NOT.

CIVILITY IS CARRYING ABOUT ONE'S IDENTITY NEEDS AND BELIEFS. WITHOUT DEGRADING SOMEONE ELSE IS IN THE PROCESS. CIVILITY IS MORE THAN MERELY BEING POLITE. STABILITY REQUIRES STAYING PRESENT EVEN WITH THOSE PERSONS WITH WHOM WE HAVE DEEP ROOTED AND PERHAPS STRONG DISAGREEMENTS. ABOUT CONSTANTLY BEING OPEN. TO HEAR, LEARN, TEACH AND CHANGE. SEEKS COMING GROUND AS A BEGINNING POINT FOR DIALOGUE. HIS PATIENTS, GRACE AND STRENGTH OF CHARACTER. CIVILITY IS PRACTICED IN OUR CITY HALL.
THANK YOU. YOU'VE BEEN BRIEFED MR CITY ATTORNEY. DON'T THAT'S IT FURTHER THAN I COULD. LIVED FOR A WHILE. IF YOU WANT IT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ARTS MOMENT? NO DIDN'T GET HELP. AT

[CONSENT CALENDAR]
6789 10. AND 11. BEFORE. ASKED FOR THE, UM. THE BOARD'S ACTION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. I'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. WE'VE BEEN PROVIDED. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S A NEW VERSION BECAUSE ALL THESE COLLINS IF YOU LOOK AT SECTION SEVEN, AND SIMPLY SOME REVISIONS THAT WERE MADE BY ST LUCIE COUNTY AND SENT TO US AFTER THE AGENDA WAS ALREADY PUBLISHED. AND CHIEF TO MINELLI HAS REVIEWED THEM AND I'VE REVIEWED THEM IN THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO HIM. IT'S OUR INTENTION TO ADOPT THE REVISED UH, VERSION THAT'S BEEN ON YOUR DESK AND[01:15:07]
PROVIDED TO YOU TODAY, AND IT'S THE REASON WE DIDN'T PROVIDE IT EARLIER, BECAUSE WE LITERALLY GOT IT ON FRIDAY AT FIVE O'CLOCK, I THINK WAS WHAT TIME. BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THE REVISION IS. USED TO BE THAT IF THERE WAS A FORFEITURE, THE BOTH AGENCIES WOULD FORFEIT OR WOULD SPLIT THE PROCEEDS. AND NOW IT'S THE ARRESTING AGENCY MANAGES THE FORFEITURE AND WOULD BE EXPOSED TO THE LIABILITY ASSOCIATED TO ASSOCIATED WITH IT AS WELL BECAUSE BY SPLITTING IT, IT MADE BOTH AGENCIES HAVE TO SHARE IN MY ABILITY. REALITY IS SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE. I'M NOT AWARE OF A FORFEITURE THAT BOTH AGENCIES SPLIT ANYWAY. SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. THANK YOU, SIR.

AND ALTHOUGH WE CURRENTLY HAVE. AS OUR AGENCY HEADS. UM. I THINK IT WOULD BE AN EASY THING FOR US TO JUST MAKE THAT A GENDER NEUTRAL PRONOUN SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO REWRITE IT. IN CASE THERE IS A FEMALE SHERIFF OR A FEMALE CHIEF OF POLICE OF THE CITY OF STUART. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD NEWS, MR MAYER. SIMPLY IF YOU HAVE A FEMALE CHIEF OF.

AND WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO A FLORIDA COMMUNITY'S TRUST GRANT AWARD AGREEMENT AND BEING MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBITS A ONE A TWO A THREE AND A FOUR ATTACHED HERE, TOO. ABOUNDING DIRECTIONS
[01:20:03]
TO THE CITY CLERK PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES AND CONFLICT, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. THANK YOU DO THE CITY. THE COMMISSIONERS HAVEN'T EXPORTED COMMUNICATIONS TO DISCLOSE MR BRUNER. I'M HERE WITH AN OPEN NINE AND I SPOKE WITH MANAGER. COMMISSIONER MACDONALD HERE WITH AN OPEN MIND. I SPOKE WITH MR MARTEL. COMMISSIONER MEYER. I'VE SPOKEN WITH STAFF AND I'M HERE WITH AN OPEN MIND BITES MAYOR I HAVE SPOKEN WITH STAFF RESIDENTS WHO ARE PART OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY, AND I'M HERE WITH AN OPEN MIND. I'M HERE WITH AN OPEN MIND. UM. ALL THOSE WHO WERE GIVEN TESTIMONY. PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND BE SWORN IN. THIS IS ITEM NUMBER 12. THE REGULARS LIKE THAT KEVIN FREEMAN WILL BE TESTIFYING. MS FREEMAN, DO YOU SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH, WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD. THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR SWEARING, EVEN CITY CITY CITY ATTORNEY. MR FREEMAN, COULD YOU PLEASE PRESENT YOUR TESTIMONY, INCLUDING EVIDENCE AND YOUR RECOMMENDATION REGARDING ITEM NUMBER 12? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR COMMISSION. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL THREE SIDES AND PROPOSES THE ANNEXATION. OFF FOUR CITY OWNED PROPERTIES, A LYING WITHIN THE UH, UNINCORPORATED MARTIN COUNTY. ANDRE HASTENED TO THE HANEY CREEK. FOUR PROPERTIES, THEY'RE ALL SUBJECT TO AN F C T. FLORIDA COMMUNITY'S TRUST GRANT THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN AROUND THE 2, JUNE OR JULY, 2000. AND. WERE PURCHASED WITH FUNDS FROM THAT GRANT IN IN ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS WERE THAT THEY WERE TO BE MAINTAINED AS. CONSERVATION OR A ZOO, PASSIVE RECREATION IN PERPETUITY. UM. ONE OF THE CONDITIONS TO THAT GRANT WAS THAT THEY WERE TO BE DESIGNATED AS FUTURE LAND USES CONSERVATION. ON UP TO THIS DAY THAT'S NOT OCCURRED. THE PROPERTIES LYING THE. MARTIN COUNTY. THE STAFF HAS SPOKEN TO MARTIN COUNTY RECENTLY, PART OF THE. LARGER AREA WITHIN A KNEE CREEK IS OWNED BY MARTIN COUNTY, AND THERE ARE NO CURRENT. PLANS IN THE COUNTY TO BRING THESE INTO CONSERVATION. AS THERE ARE OWNED BY THE CITY, SORT OF BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO START TO TRY AND CONSOLIDATE THIS AREA WITHIN THE CITY BOUNDARIES ON AND ANNEX THEM IN AND AT THE SAME TIME. USED THE OPPORTUNITY TO. COMPLY WITH THE F C T GRANT REQUIREMENT OF GETTING THESE INTO CONSERVATION, AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY ARGUMENT THAT THE SHOULD BE IN CONSERVATION WITH THE MM. THEY USE AND THE. LOCATIONS THAT THEY ARE AT THE MOMENT SO YOU CAN SEE THE FOUR PROPERTIES THEY DO SPAN. QUITE A LARGE AREA. TAKE A ROAD NORTH AND SOUTH AND ALSO. GREEN RIVER PARKWAY TO THE EAST. THE MOMENT YOU CAN SEE THAT THE FUTURE AND USE THE EXISTING IN THE COUNTY. ROLE. MOBILE HOME, LOW DENSITY OR MEDIUM DENSITY. PROPOSED WOULD BE TOO ONCE THEY'RE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY TO BRING THEM ALL INTO CONSERVATION. ON THE FUTURE LAND USE OF CONSERVATION IS ONE THAT ALLOWS PASSIVE RECREATION ON THERE, WHICH IS THE USE THAT WE SEE THERE AT THE MOMENT. IS THAT THE EXISTING ZONE AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE COUNTY. IT'S MAINLY RESIDENTIAL, VARIOUS RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT'S AND AGAIN. BRINGING THOSE PROPERTIES INTO A PUBLIC ZONING, WHICH AGAIN THE LOUSE PASSIVE RECREATION. SO RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE CITY EXCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE AHEAD WITH THE ANNEXATION AND DESIGNATE. THE PROPERTY IS CONSERVATION, ON DO PUBLIC ZONING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. STAFF AGAINST WERE STUFF, PETITIONER, THE WHOLE LOCK, STOCK AND BARREL SO. YOU MAY NOT HAVE ANYTHING ELSE BUT IN YOUR REPORT. DID YOU HAVE AH, LETTER FROM THE COUNTY OR ANYTHING SPECIAL THAT LIKE YOU'D LIKE TO BRING UP OURS HERE. JAPANESE STAFF FROM THE COUNTY WITH YOU REACHED OUT TO THE COUNTY. THERE WAS NO OFFICIAL RESPONSE. WE HAD E MAILS THAT WERE NON OBJECTING TO THE PROPOSAL. UM. TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH COUNTY STAFF. NO. REAL INVOLVEMENT[01:25:03]
FROM THE COUNTY WANTING TO GET ENGAGED WITH THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORTING FOR THE INITIATION OF THIS MATHEMATICAL PENAN AGENCIES AT THIS TIME. DO ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PETITION? I THINK I HAVE PERMISSION. MACDONALD ON DICK FIRST AND COMMISSIONER MEYER. MIGHT ACTUALLY MY QUESTIONS FOR MIKE MARTEL. MIKE IN YOUR LETTER. I THINK THE LAST PARAGRAPH. SAYS THAT AT LEAST THREE OF THE FOUR CONDITIONS. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE OK WITH THAT, BECAUSE STAND BY THAT. NO. DOES THAT MEAN THAT SINCE THE COUNTY DID NOT OBJECT, WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE. WELL, I MEAN THE CONDITION THAT IT DOESN'T MEET.IS. DOES THIS CREATE AN ENCLAVE? MM HMM. AND. THE WAY TO NOT CREATE AN ENCLAVE WOULD BE FOR THE COUNTY. TO ANNEX THE OTHER PORTION THAT'S IN THE COUNTY'S HAND SOLELY INTO THE CITY TO PLACE IT IN CONSERVATION. THE COUNTY KNOWS THIS IS GOING IN CONSERVATION THERE LITERALLY HALF OWNERS OF IT, ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE THEY GRANT MONEY BOUGHT IT WITH THEIR MONEY AT THE SAME TIME. AND THEY HAVEN'T EXPRESSED ANY CONCERN ABOUT IT. CAN'T IMAGINE A SCENARIO IN WHICH THE COUNTY ACTUALLY AGREES TO THE CITY TO MOVING FORWARD WITH AN ANNEXATION, SO I DON'T EXPECT THEM TO COME HERE AND CHEERLEADER. I'M COMFORTABLE SAYING THAT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO APPEAL. WE WILL NOT RECORD THIS ANNEXATION UNTIL 31 DAYS AFTER THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE APPEAL TIME FOR ANYBODY TO OBJECT. IF, DURING THE 30 DAYS, SOMEONE OBJECTS, I'LL BE FORCED TO DO A MEMO THAT SAYS AN ENCLAVE COULD DEFEAT A LEGAL CHALLENGE. AND IF NO ONE OBJECTS, THEN WE'LL RECORD IT. REALITY IS EVERYONE INVOLVED NOSE FLAT OUT THAT IT'S GONNA BE CONSERVATION AND THIS BENEFITS THE CITY TO THE EXTENT THAT IT. OF THE CITY. THE CREDIT FOR CONSERVING THIS LAND BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, WHEN YOU DO THE INVENTORY OF THE CITY'S CONSERVATION LAND, THIS CAN'T BE COUNTED BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN THE CITY LIGHTS. NO, I THINK WE SHOULD, ANNEX SAID. I JUST WANT TO MAKE . BOTH. THAT'S A CHALLENGE. I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT. THIS IS A 100% WINNER, OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING BUT I DON'T ANTICIPATE A CHALLENGE. OKAY, I KNOW I'M FINE. THANK YOU. IT'S ALL HERE. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MEYER. THANK YOU, MADAM. MARRY IF THERE WERE NO, I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE IF WE WOULD BE CLOSING THE HEARING.
OKAY ARE THERE ANY OKAY? THERE'S A THERE'S THE MOTION OF SECOND. BUT, UM, IS THERE ANY FURTHER COMMENT FROM THE COMMISSIONER'S AS WE'VE HAD EMOTION IN THE SECOND FOR THIS ANNEXATION REGARDING ITEM NUMBER 12 MAYOR MR BRUNNER. UM. MR GUYS, WILL YOU EXPLAIN TO THE CITIZENS OR ANYONE? IT'S LISTENING. AH! HOW? WHAT THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT IT IS TO ADD UP THOSE CONSERVATION LANDS. SO IT'S TWO PRIMARY REASONS THAT I REQUEST THE STAFF TOE PROCEED WITH THE ANNEXATION OF THIS PROPERTY. ONE IS FOR A JURISDICTIONAL ISSUE THAT OCCURS ON PROPERTY BEAT. WHERE THERE IS AN IMPROVED PARK THAT HAS PARKING AND BATHROOMS AND AN ENTRANCE TO THE DOG PARK BEHIND IT, WHICH IS ON THE COUNTY PROPERTY. AND IN THAT LOCATION WHILE THE PARK IS A CITY PARK WITH CITY OF STEWED ADVERTISEMENT ON IT, IT LIES WITHIN THE COUNTY. SO IF ANYTHING OCCURS THERE, VANDALISM ANYTHING LIKE THAT THE STORE POLICE WERE CALLED AND THEN THEY HAVE TO TURN OVER THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. AND IT CREATES A JURISDICTIONAL NIGHTMARE. BECAUSE WHY ARE WE COMING? IT'S THE CITY OF STUA TS EXPLAINED JUST A COUPLE MINUTES AGO IS THAT BY PLACING THIS WITHIN THE CITY'S CITY LIMITS, WE CAN ADD IT TO OUR CONSERVATION COUNT AS WELL AS ONE OF OUR PARK. I JUST SPOKE OF TO OUR PARK LANDS. WHICH, AS WE HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF ACRES THAT WERE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN, ACCORDING TO OUR COM PLAN, SO THAT ADDS TO THOSE NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE. IF YOU AND BY THE WAY WE OWN IT, SO WHY NOT ALL RIGHT, AND I KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE THINK OF.
ANNEXATION AS A BAD WORD OR THAT WE'RE GROWING OUR CITY OR SOMETHING. AND I THINK THAT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD PROJECT TO REALLY HAVE SOLICITED. SOME BUYING OR SOMETHING FROM THE COUNTY OFFICIALLY. BECAUSE IT Z. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING POSITIVE AND IT'S NOT HURTING ANYBODY. AND IT'S NOT LIKE UM. YOU KNOW, DEVELOPMENT OR SOMETHING WHERE THERE MIGHT BE SOME ISSUES ON BOTH SIDES. SO UM, THIS IS OUR FIRST ANNEXATION FOR THE YEAR AND, UM. EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT CRITICAL. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD THING TO AT LEAST SAY THAT WE HEARD FROM COUNTY STAFF OR WHATEVER IT WAS, BUT. MR MARTEL, I HEAR YOU AND I HEAR YOU, MR FREEMAN AND I HEAR THE BOARD'S DISCUSSION. ARE THERE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? YOU HAVE EMOTION BY COMMISSIONER MEYER AND THE SECOND BITE? VICE MAYOR MATHESON, I THINK, YEAH, YES, UM. IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENT OF THE WISE? I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO LOOK AT MISSY. HOLD ON. LET
[01:30:08]
ME MAKE SURE THAT I'M DOING ANYTHING. UM. OKAY, THAT'S IT BOUNCE, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE MR. BEFORE WE GET TO PUBLIC COMMENT, MR. UM. FREEMAN DID YOU WHEN YOU PUT UP NOTICES AND ARE ON THE WHOLE PARTS OF LAND? DID YOU HEAR BACK ANYTHING FROM ANY RESIDENTS IN THE AREA? WE HAD OUR TOOK A NUMBER OF PHONE CALLS. BUT ONCE. HE WAS EXPLAINS THAT THIS LAND WAS MOVING INTO CONSERVATION THAN PEOPLE DID RECOGNIZE THAT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD PROPOSAL, EH? SO THERE WAS NO OBJECTIONS THAT CAME IN IN WRITING. WE DID REACH UP TO THE COUNTY AND NOTIFIED THE COUNTY THROUGH THE NORMAL PROCESS, IN ADDITION TO REACHING OUT BY TELEPHONE AND EMAIL DURING THIS PROCESS ON WE DID HAVE NO OFFICIAL RESPONSE BACK FROM THE COUNTY. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. DOESN'T A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WISH TO MAKE AN UNSWORN PUBLIC COMMENT? MS MCBRIDE I SEE APPROACHING. E USED THAT ROAD BECAUSE OF THE BRIDGE. ECONOMIC BRAD FLAMINGO AVENUE. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA. WE OWN THE LAND, BUT IT'S STILL THE COMEDY. BECAUSE ANYBODY THAT KNOWS ME. I'M OFFERING AN ACCUSATION. BUT I THINK WE'RE ANNEXING OUR ONLY AND THEN AND AS A TAXPAYER MANY YEARS I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE LAND. IN MY HIDDEN IN MY BACK YARD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. ANY OTHER COMMENTS IN PERSON HERE IN THE COMMISSION CHAMBERS? HIS OTHER HAND, MR CAMPENNI? NO, MR PAUL, IS THERE ANY, UM, ANYONE ON ZOOM, SIR? OKAY, SO WE HAVE ITEM NUMBER. YES, SIR. PLEASE COME ON UP AND GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES, SIR. NOTICED BECAUSE I RIDE MY BICYCLE DOWN THE. COULD YOU STEP UP THERE MYSELF INTO THE MIND, SIR? I RIDE MY BICYCLE DOWN THE GREEN RIVER ROAD TO JENSEN BEACH ROAD. I NOTICED SOME OF THAT LAND. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT IS ON THE MAP, BUT IT'S ALREADY BEEN SOLD. YOU KNOW, IT'S A BIG SIGN THAT SAYS LAND'S BEEN SOLD.WHAT IS THAT LAND? THAT PORTION OF THE LAND IS KNOWN AS HEAVENLY AND THAT'S SOUTH OF THE LAND WHERE ANNEXING AND THAT'S BEEN IN PRIVATE HANDS FOR AN EXCESS OF SENSITIVE INSTITUTION. IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, ANYTHING IN THAT, I GUESS IT'S A PEACH COLOR. OVER THERE TO THE RIGHT. THAT'S ALL PRIVATE. THAT'S ALL PRODUCTS. YEAH. IS THERE ANY IDEA WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO WITH. I CAN TELL YOU THE C D ON THE MAP. JUST TO THE RIGHT OF D. THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE LITTLE SINGLE FAMILY HOME TOWN HOUSE, SEE PROPERTIES. AND THEN. THE TOP CORNER ACROSS FROM B THE TIME GREEN RIVER. I DON'T KNOW THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY PLAN ON THAT MR FREEMAN MIGHT KNOW. THERE'S AH, DENTIST. SO IS THAT THE DENTIST DENTIST OFFICE IS GOING TO GO IN THE CORNER. WE HAVE A RESIDENTIAL PLANNED FROM THE SOME OF THE OTHER PARTS. SOME OF THE OTHER PARTS THAT YOU SEE OUTLINE THERE ARE IN PROTECTED COPELAND AND WETLAND AREAS. SO THEY'RE NOT QUITE MARKED ON THERE LIKE THAT. THEY'RE JUST BOUND WAS SHOWN. THOSE RESIDENTIAL PRIMARILY IN ALL THE AREAS AND MIXED USE AS YOU MOVE MORE TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION. IT WAS LIKE I DON'T WANT THAT LAND. BECAUSE I'VE NOTICED WHEN I RIDE MY BIKE DOWN THERE IN THAT LAND THAT YOU'RE POINTIN LOTS OF. ARTISANS. I LIVE IN THAT AREA.
