AND THE ITEM MUST BE RELATED TO THE COVERT 19. GUESS FROM ANY THING THAT HAS HAPPENED FROM LAST YEAR WHEN COVERT 19 WAS DESIGNATED AND THEN COMING ON UP AND HOW WE WOULD DEAL WITH ANY DEFICITS IN OUR COMMUNITY OR EVEN ANY ANY ENHANCEMENTS THAT WE THINK THAT WOULD HELP. UM I GUESS. DEAL WITH THE COVERT 19, MISS. MISS MISS. MS MCBRIDE. LET MACBRIDE FLAMINGO AVENUE HOPEFULLY. I DIDN'T KNOW THIS IS THIS MEAT THIS TOPIC FOR THIS MEETING DOESN'T PUBLICIZE VERY WELL. I MEAN, I HAVE A LOT OF FRENCH LIPS PUSHING THE SENIOR CITIZEN OR ON A LIMITED INCOME, WHO REALLY PROBABLY BE INTERESTED. I KNOW I'D BE INTERESTED. BUT YOU KNOW, THIS GENTLEMAN WAS HERE LAST YEAR AND HE WAS VERY NICE TALK TO ME OUTSIDE MEETING. BUT. I HAVE NO IDEA.
SO IF I DON'T HAVE COLBERT, I CAN'T ASK A FIGHT FOR THE GRANT. IT. YOU CAN APPLY. WE DEVELOP BONERS. NO, IT'S JUST THE CITY OR JUST THE CITY OF STUART. IT'S THE DOG. YOU GET THE MONEY, BUT IT'S TO BE USED FOR DOWNTOWN BUSINESS WHO GOT HIT SO HARD. OKAY WELL, I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL GRAND ANYWAY. I MEAN, YOU ARE TRYING SO HARD WITH THE OUTDOOR RESTAURANTS IN THERE. WE'VE ALL GOTTA HELP OUR BUSINESS PEOPLE. ABOUT BECAUSE. THAT'S ALL THE TIME. JUST WHEN
[00:10:04]
IT WAS A GHOST TOWN DOWNTOWN. AND WHAT IT IS TODAY. IT'S JUST AMAZING. SO YEAH, THERE'S ANYWHERE WE CAN BE HAPPY TO COME TO ANY OTHER MEAT. IT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA. THANK YOU.THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HORROR? WITH US TODAY IN OUR MEETING ROOM HERE AT 1 21 SUFFERS FLAGLER AVENUE. YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS MADE REGARDING THE CDBG CORONAVIRUS? RON'S ROOM POTENTIAL GRANT OR ON ZOOM.

YEAH, INTIMIDATING HER AND MAKING HER NERVOUS. NO JUST BUT WHAT? THIS JOB SHE COMES DOWN. SOMEBODY LETS ME FORGET TRIES TO PARK IN MY PARKING LOT. THAT'S THE ONLY TIME I REMEMBER. THAT'S RIGHT. BUNCH OF BALONEY. HMM ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION, HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT USING THIS MONEY FOR WATER DISTRIBUTION AND PLANTS TO PEOPIE EAT THAT.
THAT WAS A PARTICULAR EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT WAS THE EXTENT PROVIDE PPE EQUIPMENT OR SOMETHING. YOU'RE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON WATER AND SEWER AND MY BILLS KEEP CONTINUALLY GOING UP. HAS ARE EVERYBODY ELSE'S. THIS'D BE A GOOD APPLICATION FOR INCREASED WATER SUPPLY. WE NEED A BREAK. WATER IS GETTING EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. READY TO START TURNING THE TAP OFF ON THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE BUILDING TO SAY CUT BACK. IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE. YES, WE WILL. AND LET ME ASK YOU. THAT QUESTION PANEL IS THIS IT AGAIN? I'LL ASKING AGAIN. IS THIS IT OR WILL THEY BE ABLE TO COME BACK ANOTHER TIME? THIS IS THIS IS IT? IT'S ALWAYS GONNA ASK HIM TO IF YOU COULD GIVE MR POE SQUALL. UM AND IDEAS THE LINK SO THAT HE COULD LOOK AT ALL THE DETAILS. AND LIKE, MISS, MISS, SOME, MCBRIDE SAID SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF THE PAPERWORK. THE LITTLE PRESENTATION THAT WE HAD. DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THAT EXTRA PAPERWORK FOR THESE RESIDENTS TO SEE TONIGHT? I CAN PROVE I CAN MAKE THAT AVAILABLE OKAY, SO THAT THEY CAN SEE THE 45. DISCRETE AREAS THAT THIS GRAND CAN BE TRIED TO BE APPLIED FOR.
IF WE CAN QUALIFY FOR IT. WELL, YOU JUST SAID THAT IT GOES ON THE TRANSMISSION OF WATERS WAS THE LAST LIKE, UH, ACTIVITY. THEY JUST INFORM YOU THAT WE WAIT. THEN YOU HAVE TO GO THAT WE ACTUALLY DID APPLY FOR CDBG AS IT RELATES TO THE ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY SOURCE ALREADY THAT WAS IN A DIFFERENT BRAND CYCLE. GOOD I'LL USE THIS ONE AND ADD TO IT. GIVE US A BREAK. GOT YOU COVERED, HUH? GOT YOU COVERED GOOD. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, CARMEN. RIGHT? ANY OTHER. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC. VERY MAD AT ME, RIGHT? SO YOUR SORRY I RAN OFF. UM NO.
THE COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC. COMMISSIONERS PLEASE DISCUSS MADAM MAYOR IF I MAY. UM. THIS IS, UH, CLEARLY A VERY TARGETED GRANT. WE HAVE TO BE VERY SPECIFIC. UM, WHILE I WOULD LOVE TO, YOU KNOW, USE THIS TO OFFSET THE COST OF OUR ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY PROJECT. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT WE WOULD YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE WOULDN'T BE SUCCESSFUL IN APPLYING FOR THAT BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE DIRECTLY TIED TO CO BIT. NOW, MAYBE WE COULD GET CREATIVE AND FIND SOME WAY TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS IS GONNA BE FOR INCREASED HAND WASHING OR SOMETHING, BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'RE RISKING BLOWING THE WHOLE THING IF WE DO THAT. I AM PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN. ASSISTANCE FUNDING FOR FOLKS THAT ARE FACING EVICTION, RENT ASSISTANCE UTILITIES ASSISTANCE THAT I THINK IS GOING TO MAKE A MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE FACING EVICTION HAVE HAD TROUBLE PAYING THEIR BILLS DUE TO LOST WAGES THROUGH CODED I'VE BEEN ON THE HUNT FOR THESE KIND OF FUNDS FOR US MYSELF.
THIS COULD BE A REALLY. I THINK THAT'S A GREAT APPROACH. FOR US. IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR THE SIZE AND SCALE OF OUR CITY. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ALSO EARMARKING SOME FUNDS FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES. CERTAINLY BUT I THINK YOU KNOW IF IT'S POSSIBLE FOR US TO HAVE A MULTI PRONGED
[00:15:04]
APPLICATION WHERE X PERCENTAGE OF THE FUNDS WOULD BE GEARED TOWARD RENT AND UTILITIES ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS FOR CERTAIN QUALIFYING INDIVIDUALS AND THEN. ASSISTANCE SUPPORT FOR BUSINESSES. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO, SIR? YEAH WE HAVE TO PICK ONE ACTIVITY FOR ONE PROJECT, AND WE ONLY GET TO MAKE ONE APPLICATION. UH HUH. WELL YOU DON'T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE THAT ZOE IT HAPPENS. UM. WELL, I MEAN, A ZMA. JAS, I KNOW OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES THEIR SUFFERING. UM, YOU KNOW, I WOULD RATHER I THINK, IF CRITICAL WAY. HELPING PEOPLE STAY IN THEIR HOMES. ME WOULD TAKE THE WOULD BE THE MORE IMPORTANT FOCUS. THAT'S JUST MY TWO SONS. MR TROY. MR MCDONALD S O. WE CAN WE CAN PICK ONE LANE AND WE HAVE TO TAKE THAT LANE. THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T HAVE THREE VERY TARGETED APPROACH OUT OF SHOTGUN EFFECT. RIGHT.GOT IT. OKAY SO WELL ONE OF THE THINGS FIRST. I AGREE WITH MIKE THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE NEED TO. WE NEED TO BE VERY YOU KNOW, IN OUR CHOOSE WISELY AND ARE TARGETED AREA AND AS MUCH AS I THINK WE ALL WOULD LIKE TOE. TRY TO GET MONEY FOR WATER SUPPLY ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLIES. YOU TOO, AND I THINK THAT ONE OF THE AREAS THAT WE SHOULD MAKE OUR SHORT LIST IS THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE. BUT ALSO UH, JOB CREATION AND I SEE YOU SAW THERE WAS ONE HERE ABOUT A JOB ACTIVITY CREATES YOUR CHANGE PERMANENT JOBS OF AT LEAST 51% OF WHAT YOUR FULL TIME EQUIVALENT AND. YOU SAW THE JOB PROBLEM. YOU CAN SOLVE THE TELEVISION PROBLEM IF YOU.
AND CHRIS, THIS IS 61 HALF DOZEN TO ANOTHER BECAUSE, YOU KNOW WHAT COMES FIRST. BUT IF YOU HELP WITH THE RENT ASSISTANCE, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A JOB THAT DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM DOWN THE ROAD, SO DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE'S THE BEST PATH FOR US TO TAKE. BUT I THINK THAT THOSE ARE TWO PATHS THAT IF WE'RE GONNA CAN ONLY SELECT ONE, THOSE HEIR TO ONE OF THOSE TWO PATHS, I THINK WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO GO. MADAM THERE. HOLD ON, MR MR MAYER. MR MACDONALD. AS LONG AS WE HAVE CHICKENS. WE'LL HAVE EGGS AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE EGGS, WE LOVE CHICKENS. YEAH YEAH, YEAH, PRETTY MUCH. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. AS THE FARMER ON THE BOARD, UM. I UNDERSTAND THAT AND I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENT. YOU KNOW, IT IS. IT APPEARS TO BE A CHICKEN OR THE EGG THING. WHILE I WILL SAY THOUGH, THAT I THINK THE MORE IMMEDIATE DIE A RISK OF DISPLACEMENT FROM FROM THE HOME IS A MASSIVELY DESTABILIZING THING THAT CAN COMPLETELY RUIN SOMEBODY'S LIVES. IT'S RUINING PEOPLE'S LIVES. AND AGAIN, I DO BELIEVE, YOU KNOW. WE BEING THE CITY? UM SMALL CITY THAT WE ARE. WE HAVE ALL OF THESE POWERFUL ORGANIZATIONS WORKING ALONGSIDE US AND WITH US THAT PERHAPS YOU KNOW, THE. D B, A.
THE ECONOMIC COUNCIL, THE BDB RESEARCH COAST CAREER SOURCE. YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE WE GET MUCH BETTER BANG FOR OUR BUCK. REALLY HELP PROTECT PEOPLE LIVES. HAVE REALLY TARGETED SMALL SCALE WITH WITH HELPING PEOPLE STAY IN THEIR HOMES, AND THEN MAYBE WE CAN. HOPEFULLY MAYBE WE COULD SUGGEST TO THE ECONOMIC COUNCIL TO THESE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE PRINCIPALLY, YOU KNOW, WORKING IN EMPLOYMENT. JOB SERVICES TO GO AFTER A GRANT THAT WE COULD THEN SHARE AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK WOULD BE A SMARTER PLAY FOR US, TOO. FOCUS IMMEDIATELY ON THOSE PEOPLE KEEP THEM FROM IN THEIR HOMES. AND THEN MAYBE WORK WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP PROMOTE JOBS. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM THAT I'M JUST CREATING JUST CREATING A DIALOGUE. THERE COULD BE GOOD STAFF PRESENT AN IDEA THAT THAT WE'VE COME UP WITH AND LET ME JUST HEAR FROM MR MET MR MASTERSON FIRST AND THEN. AND I WANTED TO SAY ONE THING. AND THEN WILL IT STEP ON THIS COMMISSION BROTHER HAS SOMETHING ONE. MR THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR, I THINK YOU KNOW. BOTH IDEAS I WOULD SUPPORT. YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
BUSINESS INCUBATOR PROGRAM OR SOME SORT OF FILM. INCENTIVE TO GET BUSINESS IS GOING TO GET PEOPLE BACK TO WORK. I THINK THAT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE. WHEN I ALSO AGREE.
DON'T PEOPLE THAT AREN'T ABLE TO PAY THEIR RENT OR UTILITIES RIGHT NOW, I GUESS AT THE END OF THE DAY WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO TWO MIAS. WE HAVE TOE PICK UP PATH, AND I'D BE HAPPY TO LISTEN TO MR ALL DAY HERE. OF WHAT'S OUR BEST CHANCE BECAUSE IF WE DEBATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT AT THE END OF THAT WE DON'T GET ANYTHING THAT WE'RE NOT DOING ANY GOOD. AND I
[00:20:05]
WOULD. LEAN ON HIS EXPERTISE A LITTLE BIT AND WHAT HE'S SEEN. HISTORICALLY OR ASK HIM TO PREDICTING FUTURE A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT WOULD BE OUR BEST BET. GET SOME MONEY FOR OUR RESIDENTS, BASICALLY. UM, CAN YOU TELL ME HOW MANY CITIES ARE ELIGIBLE. ALL THE SMALL CITIES THAT HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 PEOPLE. WAS FAIRLY LARGE LIST. YES THERE IS, IF IT'S A VERY LARGE LIST. UM OH, IT COULD YOU SUGGEST ANYTHING? WE COULD DO TO IMPROVE OUR CHANCES OTHER THAN WHAT YOU'VE PRESENTED. UM. THERE ARE POINTS FOR THINGS LIKE READINESS TO PROCEED. THE MORE YOU HAVE PLANS AND SPECS FOR PROJECT, FOR EXAMPLE, THE MORE YOU'VE DONE. MORE POINTS YOU CAN GET. THERE ARE THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT MATCH NOT REQUIRED AGAIN. IF YOU DO PUT SOMETHING INTO IT COULD GIVE YOU SOME POINTS. BUT THIS IS REALLY GOING TO BE BASED ON THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT THE MAXIMUM IMPACT ON COVE. IT SO. BOTH JOBS, CREATION AND MORTGAGE RENT ASSISTANCE IS GOING TO BE COMPETITIVE. SO I CAN'T REALLY I DO. I DID WANT TO SAY THAT THE COUNTY HAS A MORTGAGE AND RENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM OPEN RIGHT NOW, AND THEY'RE GETTING MORE MONEY FOR THAT. OKAY, AND THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF STUART ARE ELIGIBLE TO A PRODUCT FOR LAND. YEAH, ASIDE. I UNDERSTAND IT THROUGH THE SHIP PROGRAM. YES LIVE SENT BACK MONEY, TOO. SO THERE IS PROGRAM FOR THAT, TOO. IS THERE A PROGRAM? FOR JOB CREATION AS IT PERTAINS SOLELY TOOK COVE IT NOT AT THIS TIME. SO THAT MIGHT GIVE US A STEP UP. JUST MM HMM.THIS THIS IS THE ONLY BUSINESS INCUBATOR JOB TRAINING CENTER APPLICATION THAT I'VE SEEN. I THINK, I THINK RETRAINING PEOPLE AND, UH, BUILDING UP SMALL BUSINESS. WELL, WE MIGHT AS WELL MAYA'S WELL, JUST LOOK AT THE PROJECT. OKAY. THANK YOU. IT'S THE WILLIE GARY BUILDING. IF I'M SAYING THAT, CORRECTLY LOCATED 7 20 SOUTHEAST MARTIN LUTHER KING JR BOULEVARD, ANDY STEWART. I DON'T WANT TO STEAL THE CITY MANAGER'S THUNDER. LET HIM EXPLAIN WHAT HE THINKS. YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT BUSINESS INCUBATION AND JOB TRAINING WERE DISCUSSED. THE MANAGER. YES, MA'AM. SO, UM, THOUGHT ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE AND TRYING TO DETERMINE HOW FUNDING COULD BE OBTAINED FOR THIS, AND I REALIZE THAT THIS IS AN AMBITIOUS TASK FOR US. AND IF WE WERE TO OBTAIN THE GRANT FUNDING FOR THIS, I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT, UM, MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. AND YOU KNOW WE DID THE FARM ANALOGY, SO I'LL GO TO THE FISHING ANALOGY. IF YOU GIVE A MAN A FISH HE EATS FOR A DAY. YOU COULD TEACH HIM TO FISH. HE EATS FOR A LIFETIME. AND THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT THIS IS KIND OF GEARED TOWARDS SO IT WOULD BE A SIZABLE GRANT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, REHABILITATE THE PROPERTY AND THEN PARTNER TO CREATE A DRAW TRADES TRAINING CENTER AND BUSINESS INCUBATOR.
UM AT THAT PROPERTY LOCATION, IT MEETS THE LOT OF THE CRITERIA OF THIS GRAND AS IT RELATES THE ALUMAI AND AS WELL AS DISPLACED EMPLOYMENT. SOME OF THE WORK OF REHABILITATION WORK. IT COULD BE DONE, THERE COULD ACTUALLY BE DONE BY THE UH, TRADES PEOPLE THAT THAT ACTUALLY WOULD BE GOING THROUGH THE PROGRAM THERE. THE TRADES TRAINING HAS BEEN A GAP IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR QUITE A WHILE. UM, I KNOW I'VE SEEN SEVERAL. EVEN, UM I SEE GUY. LOOK LACEY GOT HERE RECENTLY POSTING ON FACEBOOK, HOW HE CANNOT FIND ANY QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES.
BECAUSE WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A CENTRALIZED HER LOCATION FOR DOING TRADE STRAINING IN OUR AREA. I KNOW PIRACY IS TRYING TO BUILD ONE OF FOUR PIERS, BUT IT STILL LEAVES US HAVING A MISSING GAP. WHAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BE. TOO FAR FETCHED TO HAVE, UM. SINGLE ROOM HOUSING FOR POTENTIAL STUDENTS TO LIVE. EVEN IF THEIR TRADE PROGRAM IS LIKE A 10 MONTH, 11 MONTHS OR 12 MONTH PROGRAM. WOULD WOULD SOMETHING WOULD IT BE FEASIBLE TOE HAVE. INCLUDE A PROGRAM LIKE THAT WITH NOT JUST THE TRADE CENTER, BUT A PLACE WHERE YOU COULD HAVE SINGLE ROOM HOUSING FOR PEOPLE. I MEAN, I THINK WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT GETTING THE HOUSING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT ANIMAL TOGETHER. NOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. I'M SURE THERE'S OTHER CRITERIA WERE HAVING HAVING. IN HOUSE GUESTS. I MEAN, THE IDEA WAS HAVING ONE
[00:25:03]
OF THE SET OF BUILDINGS BEING TRADE CENTER AND THE OTHER SET, PROBABLY THE BACK BUILDINGS.BEING THE BUSINESS INCUBATOR LOCATIONS, OKAY? WAY WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO PICK ONE ACTIVITY. WE CAN'T DO THAT MAKES YOU NOTHING. SAGE. JOKE. DID. TREE. IN PRO. OKAY? UM, CAN YOU JUST CAN YOU JUST EXPLAIN TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT ACTUAL PROGRAM THAT YOU SAID THAT SOMEBODY ELSE IS GRANTED? DON'T HAVE TO TELL US. OTHER DID THE WATER AND SEWER EXTENSION, TOE A P P E D FACTORY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE UH, THIS COLUMBIA COUNTY, SO IT'S PUBLIC RECORD, AND THEY HAVE A INDUSTRIAL SITE WHERE A BUSINESS THAT HAS GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS THAT PRODUCES PP. FOR UNDER CONTRACT. NEEDS. WATER AND SEWER, SO THEIR ABILITY IN BOTH WATER AND SEWER PLANT. FOR THAT PROJECT. WELL, THEY'RE THEY'RE GOING TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITH THE JOBS GROWTH GRANT. AND THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THIS GRANT. AND THEY'RE GOING THROUGH E D. A I'M A DEVELOPMENT MINISTRY. AT THIS TIME COULD WE DO A COMBINATION OF GRANTS, OR WE'RE JUST THINKING JUST TO THIS ONE. MAYBE WE CAN ADD TO ITS LATER ON. YOU'RE ELIGIBLE FOR ALL OF THOSE SAME GRANDS. OK ELIGIBLE FOR JOBS GROWTH. AND YOU'RE ELIGIBLE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE JOBS. THAT PARTICULAR BUSINESS IS GOING TO PRODUCE HUNDREDS OF JOBS SO THAT, TOO. MAY MR VALDEZ DESCRIPTION OF THE WATER AND SEWER GRANT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT'S GONNA BENEFIT ANY OF THE SPECIFIC RESIDENTS AND COLUMBIA COUNTY WAS HELPING THEM WITH THEIR BILLS. AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE WOULD THINK MR MEYER. YOUR DISCUSSION OF. GRANT WE WOULD APPLY FOR WOULD BE TO BENEFIT CERTAIN RESINS DIRECTLY WITH PAYMENT OF THEIR UTILITY BILLS OR THE RENT. THE ISSUE WITH THAT SEEMS TO FOR ME TO BE. HOW ARE WE GONNA PICK THOSE INDIVIDUALS? AND THEN TO THE COUNTY IS ALREADY DOING THAT. OUR CHANCES LESS FORGETTING ANY FUNDING. MADAM MAYOR. I AM BY PLEASANT AWARE THAT THE COUNTY HAD A PROGRAM AND SO YOU KNOW, AGAIN TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHERE WE CAN HAVE THE MOST IMPACT. IF THAT'S ALREADY AVAILABLE, AND THOSE FUNDS ARE BEING REPLENISHED AT THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT IS THE SERVICE THAT'S BEING OFFERED THAT COULD HELP OUR RESIDENTS. THE HONEST I'VE BEEN TALKING TO CITY MANAGER ABOUT AN IDEA FOR THIS PROPERTY FOR SOME TIME. UM SO YOU KNOW TO COMPLETELY EAT MY HAT. THIS IS THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA, HOWEVER. UM. YOU KNOW AGAIN, THIS IS THIS IS A BIG UNDERTAKING FOR LITTLE CITY OF STUART. WE ARE NOT IN THE EDUCATION. GAME SO I MEAN, WE GOT TO REALLY FIGURE OUT WHO OUR PARTNERS ARE GONNA BE. I DON'T WANT TO MEAN THE PROSPECT OF THIS IS IT'S GREAT. I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT THING FOR THE COMMUNITY FOR TRADES TRAINING, WHICH WERE DESPERATELY IN NEED OF BUT. E MEAN, WE'RE NOT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION PIRACY, SO WE GOTTA MAKE SURE WE'VE GOT A SHORT LIST OF PARTNERS THAT ARE READY TO WORK WITH US. AT THIS AT THE SCHOOL APPLICATION LEVEL AT THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING AND THE FULL APPLICATION LEVEL YOU'LL HAVE TO HAVE PICKED SOME PARTNERS TO SHOW THAT YOU HAVEN'T ADMINISTRATED PLAN TO RUN. FACILITY. ON AND PRODUCED THE JOBS AND THE SMALL BUSINESSES THE MICRO BUSINESSES THAT WOULD BE THAT OUR GUESTS ARE BENEFIT, SO OUR BENEFIT IS THE SMALL BUSINESS CREATION.
AND JOB TRAINING, TRAINING AND ROTTEN AND JOB CREATION. COULD THIS TECHNIQUE COULD THIS TECHNICALLY BE WHERE THE CITY APPLIES FOR THE GRANT FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE WORK, AND WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE. RESULTING TRADE PROGRAMMING, OR ARE WE ALWAYS GOING TO BE SORT OF THE MAIN ORGANIZATIONAL. WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF IT THAT THAT WILL BE UP TO THE CITY. THE ENTIRE FACILITY. THEY TRAINING AND THE BUSINESS INCUBATION COULD BE RUN BY A THIRD PARTY. OKAY IT'S NOT. THAT'S NOT A LIMITATION ON THE GRANT PROGRAM, BE LEASING AND DO THEM FOR A DOLLAR. FOR EXAMPLE. OKAY. OKAY THING I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN YOUR MEN IN HER CAUTION MCDONALD, SO I'M A BIG FAN OFF LIKE VOCATIONAL SKILLS TRAINING. THAT WAS ACTUALLY MY BACKGROUND. MANY, MANY YEARS AGO IN HIGH SCHOOL.
UM MM HMM. YOU'RE ON THAT NOTE THAT WE COULD YOU SAID WE COULD RELEASE IT FOR A DOLLAR AND I'M JUST THINKING OUT OF THE BOX HERE, AND I'M NOT SUGGESTING THIS AT THIS POINT, BUT I AGREE WITH MR MEYER THAT WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ON TAKING ON TOO MUCH, COULD IT COULD IT? COULD
[00:30:08]
WE A PARTNER. BE LIKE A CHARTER SCHOOL THAT MADE IT A VOCATIONAL EDUCATION SCHOOL. IF IT'S IF IT'S OF GOD GIVING VOCATIONAL JOB TRAINING. YES BECAUSE LONG AS LONG AS I CAN HAVE A PERSON COME OUT WITH A CERTIFICATE. THEY GOT JOB TRAINING. THAT'S MY BENEFIT, SO THERE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE COULD GET TO THAT POINT. OKAY YEAH, LIKE YOU SAID, I'M NOT A DISAPPOINT. I'M NOT ADVOCATING FOR THAT. I'M ASKING JUST ASKING A QUESTION SO S SO IT COULD BE. WE COULD DO A PARTNERSHIP WITH IRA. SEE WE COULD DO PARTNERSHIP WITH MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD. WE COULD DO A PARTNERSHIP WITH A CHARTER SCHOOL. WE COULD DO. A PARTNER WITH WAS A NOT FOR PROFIT. OKAY? WE HAVE TWO WEEKS MARCH 15TH? YES, THAT'S THE PRE OP AND I DID. I FAILED TO SAY THAT THE GRAND CAN BE FROM 200,000 MINIMUM 25 MILLION MAXIMUM. AND SNEAK OUT THE FIVE MILLION INSTEAD, STAFF. HAS AN OPINION OF COSTS THAT IS LESS THAN FIVE MILLION. MADAM MADAM MAYOR. WHAT'S THE MATTER? ASKED WHAT'S THE TIMELINE AGAIN? I APOLOGIZE FOR THE, UM I MEAN, WHEN WOULD WE NEED TO HAVE FLUSHED OUT IDEA WITH PARTNERS? THEY HAVE NOT RELEASED A DAY FOR THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY, WAY WOULD COME BACK AND SAY YES. THEY THEY RECOMMENDED THE PROJECT FOR FUNDING. AND THEN WITH BUT THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A STRUCTURE WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOME PARTNERS PICKED. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? WHAT KIND OF JOB TRAINING AND WE'RE GONNA DO? CERTAINLY WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, HOW MUCH SPACE IS GONNA BE FOR THEIR BUSINESS IN SUMMER? SO WE HAVE TO. AT THAT POINT WE HAVE TO SAY WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. RIGHT? SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE IF WE WERE TO SURVIVE THE PRE APPLICATION PROCESS TO THREE MONTHS, TWO OR THREE MONTHS. OKAY, BUT I GET CRACKING. OKAY SO IS THIS A VOTE FROM OR COMMISSION TO ALLOW OUR STAFF TO WORK WITH MR AL DAY TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION BASED ON PRELIMINARY IDEA OF DOING SOME TYPE OF INCUBATOR PROGRAM AT THE. 7 20 SOUTHEAST MARTIN LUTHER KING BOULEVARD LOCATION IF. DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE LAND OWNER IF WE JUST DID DIRECTION. YES. SO YOU DON'T NEED PERMISSION WITH LANDO. YOU YOU CAN APPLY FOR THE GRANT AND THEN E THINK THE CAP BUT KEPT A LITTLE BIT OUT OF THE BAG AND THAT BIG LANDOWNERS PROBABLY GONNA WANT MORE MONEY FOR IT NOW, BUT YOU COULD IDENTIFY ANOTHER PERSONAL LAND, TOO, IF YOU HAD TO, BUT THE REALITY OF IT IS NO, IT'S. ALL HAND IN HAND. YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE GRANT. SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT FIRST, RIGHT, BROTHER. FOR THAT MATTER, IT WOULD BE FOR THE PRE APPLICATION. YES. SO, MR MR MAYER, WERE YOU SAYING SOMETHING? I WAS JUST GONNA I MEAN, I'D BE WILLING TO MAKE THE MOTION. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION. THAT WE PURSUE STAFFS IDEA. MM. AND JUST WANTED TO MAKE ONE MORE POINT IF IT'LL BE SECONDED. 2ND 2ND DISCUSSION. THERE'S EMOTION BY COMMISSIONER MYERS SECONDED BY VICE MAYOR.OKAY BYE BYE COMMISSION. MCDONALD. WOULD JUST. YOU KNOW THIS IS AGAIN IT'S EXCITEMENT.
WE HAVE TO KIND OF PUMP THE BRAKES JUST A LITTLE BIT EXCITEMENT OF THIS IDEAS. IT'S NICE AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN A KIND OF IDEA. I'VE BEEN SITTING ON FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF. YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN AMBITIOUS PROJECT MIGHT BE RISKIER TO GET GRANT FUNDS FOR IS THERE. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? COVERT RELATED THAT THIS KIND OF UNDER OUR NOSE RIGHT NOW THAT WE COULD BE APPLYING FOR THAT MAYBE IS A LITTLE LESS AMBITIOUS, BUT COULD BE A LITTLE MORE OF A SURE BET AND COULDN'T BENEFIT OUR RESIDENTS. OUR BUSINESSES THAT ARE STRUGGLING. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE DON'T IT'S EVERYTHING TO THIS. IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE NOT THINKING OF RIGHT NOW, MISS MR MIKE AND I ADD TO THAT, PLEASE. I'D LIKE TO ASK FOR IT IF WE COULD JUST GET OUR CITY MANAGER. CLEARLY GET FROM OUR COUNTY. EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO HELP RESIDENTS WITH COLBERT. AND IF THERE'S ANY WAY THAT WE NEED TO GET OUR CITY RESIDENTS TO GET IN CONTACT WITH THE COUNTY WITH THE UNITED WAY. MAKE SURE THEY USE IT NOW. THAT RESOURCE IS I THINK THAT ALL OF THOSE RESOURCES HAVE BEEN TRADITIONALLY GOING THROUGH THE CALIPH OR ALL THE COVERT. WORK AND I THINK THAT, UM PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT IT, AND THEY NEED TO CONTACT THE COUNTY. BUT IF YOU DO HAVE
[00:35:01]
SOMETHING THAT WE CAN APPLY FOR THE CITY PLEASE LET US KNOW THAT CHOOSE ABSOLUTE. UM ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON THE MOTION THAT WAS MADE IN THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE BY THE MISSION OF MYRRH. YES, SIR. MR MCD CAMPAIGN AND PLEASE COME FORWARD. ARE YOU A LOT ABOUT THE COUNTY PROGRAM? HAVING WORKED WITH THE COUNTY? UNITED WAY DID THE RENT AND UTILITY PEACE ALONG WITH THE FOOD PIECE, ALONG WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH PIECE, THE COUNTY TOOK CARE OF BUSINESSES AND DAN HUDSON WAS THE ONE THAT HANDLED THAT. THAT THAT PROGRAM IS NOW OVER THE PROGRAM THAT WILL BE COMING UP IS WHAT PASSES IN CONGRESS NOW, BUT THAT WAS BELIEVE. $17 MILLION THAT THE COUNTY SPENT IF NOT MORE, I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT AMOUNT. SO NOT ONE PERSON WHO APPLIED THAT BED. ALL THE CRITERIA DID NOT RECEIVE FUNDING FOR THEIR FOR RENT ASSISTANCE. MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE OFF FOOD ASSISTANCE UTILITY ASSISTANCE, BUT THEY HAD TO MEET THE CRITERIA. AND I'M SURE THE CRITERIA WILL BE THE SAME GOING FORWARD. AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND UNITED WAY WELL AGAIN DO THAT PART OF THE PROGRAM. CHARITY WILL DO THE OTHER PART WE AND THE UNITED WAY MIGHT EVEN DO THE NONPROFIT PART. YES, AND I AGREE WITH YOU. MAYBE WE JUST NEED TO LET OUR CITY RESIDENTS KNOW THAT THEIR MARTIN COUNTY RESIDENTS. NO I KNOW SOMEONE WHO COULD. I KNOW SOMEONE WHO COULD TELL THEM THAT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS. ANY OTHER COMMENTS. WE ARE GOING TO BE VOTED ON A PRESENTATION TO TRY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR CONSULTANT. CORBETT GRANT. ARE THERE. ANY COMMENTS? PLEASE? MA'AM, PLEASE COME FORWARD. THE STATE YOUR NAME, AND THERE'S A GREEN CARD THAT OUR POLICE OFFICER WILL GIVE TO YOU IF YOU HAVEN'T FILLED IT OUT THERE. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION. I CAN'T GIVE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, MISS SPRING WIGGLING HOW BRINKLEY COURT IN FLORIDA. JUST HAVE A QUESTION BECAUSE I CAME IN LATE AND I MISSED THE PRESENTATION. BUT I'M LISTENING. IS THERE ANY BOUNDARIES TO THE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE ABLE TO JUST SAY IF YOU DID THE OUR TRAINING. IS THERE ANY BOUNDARIES? AS FOR HIS LIMITATIONS THAT THE WHERE PEOPLE COME FROM THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS IS IT JUST FOR THE COUNTY? YOU KNOW, I KIND OF THINK THAT ACCOUNT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE CITY. THE PEOPLE FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY STATE, MR COUNTY. THEY BE COMING IN AND CAPITALIZING ON THIS. WE HAVEN'T STRUCTURED THE APPLICATION AT THIS POINT YET. ME AFTER HE ALSO MAY HAVE TO LOOK AT THE WEATHER GRANT WHETHER WE COULD LEGALLY LIMIT NO. IF YOU'RE SUGGESTING TO STUART RESIDENTS OR COUNTY RESIDENTS ONLY, HMM. YEAH, THROUGH OUR CITY ATTORNEY ON THAT ONE. BUT I THINK IF IT'S STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING, WE COULD NOT VICE MAYOR, I WOULD REMIND THAT WE WOULD HAVE REQUIRED SECOND PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS WHERE WE WOULD GET A LOT MORE PUBLIC INPUT AS WE START WHICH START TO SHAPE THE PROGRAM. SO THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A GOOD PLACE FOR US TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THOSE SORT OF QUALIFICATIONS AND BOUNDARIES WOULD BE IF ANY. OKAY? OKAY? OR ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC. SIR. VICE MAYOR TONIGHT.JUST ONE MORE QUESTION BEFORE WE GO MISSION FOR MR ALL DAY. UM WHAT? WHAT LEVEL OF DETAIL IS REQUIRED IN THIS PRE THIS FIRST PHASE APPLICATION. I MEAN, JUST A BROAD STROKE IDEA.
VERY BROAD. YOU KNOW, A PARAGRAPH DESCRIPTION OF SHORT EXCEL SPREADSHEET, BUT. JORDAN EXCEL SPREADSHEET TIMELINE IT ZITS VERY SUMMERY. AH LOT OF GOVERNMENT NUMBERS AND. AND WHO'S GOING TO RUN THE PROGRAM? AND DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH GRANT'S ALREADY THAT STANCE AND ANSWERING THOSE KINDS OF QUESTIONS? OKAY, PRELIMINARY STUFF. AND YOU KNOW? AS THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD PERSIST BEYOND COVE ID. AS A TRADE SCHOOL. DO YOU THINK THAT THAT WOULD KIND OF THE WITH THAT HAMPER THIS APPLICATION, SINCE THIS WOULD BE INTENT, RIGHT? BASICALLY I WOULD LOOK AT IT AS A PREVENTATIVE MEASURE FOR ANY FUTURE SUCH OKAY, MOMMY? STRUGGLES ECONOMIC TIMES. IS TO HAVE THAT JOB JOB JOB TRAINING BUSINESS INCUBATOR SYSTEM GOING SO IMMEDIATE AID WITH LASTING PREVENTIVE BENEFITS, YOU KNOW? RESPONSIVE DOING FUTURE ECONOMIC STRUGGLE. YOU, SIR. WELL AT THIS POINT. NO. I SEE NO REASON WHY WE SHOULDN'T APPLY AND TAKE THE NEXT STEPS IF WE'RE FORTUNATE UP FORGET IT. YOU KNOW EMOTIONS IN SECOND THIS IS THE CORRECT THING. NEVER COMMENTED. SHE DID
[00:40:06]
REGULAR COMMENT. DID MADAME MAYOR AND WE'RE ON FOR THE CLERK TOOK ON THAT YOU HAVE COME THERE. I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD, HAVE COPIES OF THE PRESENTATION FOR THE PUBLIC, JUST MR DIES.DO WE KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WHAT BALLPARK ARE WE LOOKING AT UNDER THEM UNDER FIVE MILLION AROUND FOR AROUND FOUR MILLION, OKAY? YEAH. YEAH. WE HAD A MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER MEYER AND A SECOND BITE COMMISSION. MCDONALD MAY I VERIFY THE MOTION. WHAT WE HAVE IS SIMPLY TO PURSUE STEPS IDEA. IS THERE MORE TO THAT MOTION? YEAH THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK. UM WAY MOTION WAS TO ACCEPT STAFFS PROPOSED PROPOSAL. TO PURSUE THE PRE PRE APPLICATION PROCESS. WITH WITH STEPS PROPOSED IDEA. THANKS. THANK YOU. PAPERWORK. IT'S CALLED THE WORLD COMMISSIONER MEYER. YES COMMISSIONER MCDONALD. YES COMMISSIONER BURNER? YES VICE MAYOR MATHESON. YES. MAYOR CLARKE? YES? THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MS. ALDEN THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IF YOU THINK OF ANY QUESTIONS, JUST LITTLE STUFF. WAY MOVE FORWARD WITH COMMENTS BY COMMISSIONERS, STARTING WITH VICE MAYOR MYER OR THE COMMISSIONER BRUNER. WANTS TO GO FIRST. I'M GOOD. NO COMMENT. OKAY AFTER EVERYBODY GOES AND THEN ER THAN MR MIGHT LEVEL JUST OKAY. JUST COME THIS WAY. COUPLE COUPLE QUICK THINGS AND I'M JUST VERY SHORT TODAY, UM, WITH MPO MEETING TODAY WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY PRETTY MUNDANE, MORE PERFUNCTORY OF A MEETING, BUT UM COME END OF APRIL. BEGINNING OF MAY, THE MPO WILL BE WORKING WITH THE STATE D O T TO PUT TOGETHER THE PRIORITY LIST FOR FUTURE PROJECTS. IF THERE'S A PROJECT AT THE CITY COMMISSION WANTS THE GET PRIORITIZED BY THE STATE, FOR EXAMPLE, WE'VE DISCUSSED UNDER COMMENTS A FEW TIMES THE HOT RIGHT AT PALM CITY ROAD, AND WE'D LIKE TO START WORKING ON GETTING THE STATE TO PUT THAT IN THE PRIORITY WORK PROGRAM. WE WOULD NEED TO LET THE MPO ADMINISTRATOR KNOW PROBABLY BY THE END OF APRIL. TO EH, SO THAT SHE COULD START WORKING IT INTO THE WORK PROGRAM. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MAYBE AT SOME POINT IF THE REST OF THE COMMISSION IS INTERESTED IN, WE SHOULD PUT AN AGENDA ITEM TO DISCUSS POTENTIAL MPO PRIORITIES FOR THE CITY. BUT. THAT'S THE THAT'S JUST THE TIME FRAME FOR THAT. SO THEN SECOND THING, I DON'T SURE SOMEBODY'S GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS BY SET OF THE COASTER ON OUR REGARDING PLASTIC STRAWS AND SKIP THE STRAW. BUT THIS MADE ME THINK ABOUT SOMETHING I HAD LUNCH AT THE RIVERWALK CAFE THE OTHER DAY AND THEY'RE STILL PARTICIPATING IN THE OYSTER RECYCLING SHALL RECYCLING PROGRAM AND THEY'RE STILL USING THE COASTERS AND GIVING THE INFORMATION AND SO IT'S AH IT'S REALLY GOOD TO SEE THAT THAT PROGRAM WAS STILL UP IN ALIVE WITH THE RESTAURANTS THAT ARE USING, UM OYSTERS THAT SERVE OYSTERS BECAUSE THOSE OYSTER SHELLS ONCE THERE WANTS TO RECYCLE THEIR SENT OUT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL NOTHING.
ENVIRONMENTAL FLORIDA OCEANOGRAPHIC WHERE THEY SPEND THREE OR FOUR MONTHS DRYING IN THE SUN, AND THEN THEY'RE PUT INTO BAGS AND THEN THEY'RE PUT BACK INTO OUR INTO OUR WATERS.
S SO THAT THEY CAN HELP REBUILD OUR OYSTER BARS AND WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT SADLY BECAUSE OF THE DISCHARGES FROM LAKE OKEECHOBEE HAVE BEEN DEVASTATED. SO IT'S JUST REALLY NICE TO SEE THAT PROGRAM STILL UP AND RUNNING AFTER SIX. I THINK SIX YEARS SO IT'S ALL I HAVE. BEFORE WE GO TO EITHER. MR MAYER, MR MADISON. MISTER UM, MR MORT IL. DO YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE IN FRONT OF YOU? DO WHAT IS THE MESSAGE AND MEAN? IS IT? IS IT NOT NON PLASTIC STRAWS UPON REQUEST? ONLY ARE THEY SAY THAT YOU CAN GET PLASTIC STRAWS OR THEY'RE VERY CLEAR THAT WE'RE NOT DOING PLASTIC STRAWS WERE SKIPPING IT OR MEANS THAT SINCE TODAY IS NATIONAL MARKET READ A DAY THAT WHEN YOU TO MARGARITA SHOULD GET MOISTURE AND WOODEN TABLE WAS A SURE YES, IT'S JUST A POLICY TO FOLLOW OUR UH, CODE, WHICH IS. THAT WE DON'T THAT NO ONE SHOULD HAVE PLASTIC STRAWS. BUT EVEN THOSE THAT HAVE ANY TYPE OF STRAWS. SHOULD ONLY
[00:45:05]
RECEIVE THEM UPON REQUEST ONLY. YEAH I THINK THAT PART OF THE MESSAGES AND I CAN TELL YOU I WENT TO MCDONALDS THE OTHER DAY IN THE DRIVE THROUGH JUST TO GET A NICE TEA. AND THEY GAVE ME THE CUP WITHOUT A STRAW. AND LIKE THE MANAGER GUY THAT WAS RUNNING BEFORE, HE SAID. IT WOULD YOU KNOW, OFFERED LIKE, WOULD YOU LIKE A STRONG WASN'T AUTOMATIC OR ANYTHING. WHICH IT THAT WAS INTERESTING. WE'RE GOING. THANK YOU, MR MAYER. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. UM.LEGISLATIVE SESSION BEGINS NEXT WEEK. IT IS GOING TO BE A WILD RIDE. UM, UNFORTUNATELY, WELL WITH COVE ID. THERE ARE A LOT OF RESTRICTIONS AND SO ON AZIZ HE'S PRESIDENT OF THE FLORIDA REGIONAL MEGACITIES. THERE'S A CROSS REGIONAL MEGACITIES. I'M NOT GOING TO BE ACTUALLY ABLE TO GO UP AND MEET WITH THE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION THIS SESSION, WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP TABS ON THEM AS BEST I CAN. I WILL PROVIDE YOU ALL AND STAFF WITH UPDATES AS WE SEE THEM, BUT. JUST KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED. THERE'S A LOT OF. PREEMPTION AND BAD BILLS MAKING THEIR WAY THROUGH COMMITTEES RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S GONNA MOVE FAST WITH THAT REGARD. THERE IS A BILL RIGHT NOW THAT JUST PASSED COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE AND IS IN FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW. UM ONE OTHER COMMITTEE REVIEW COMING UP SOON. HERE. IT'S SP 62. IT'S A BILL THAT WOULD ACTUALLY KILL REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCILS. ON DSA. SO OUR LOCAL REGIONAL LEAGUE AND THE REGIONAL COUNCIL OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE ISSUED RESOLUTIONS OPPOSING THAT BILL AND IN SUPPORT OF REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCILS. WE ARE ALL THREAT. FRIENDS OF OUR REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL AND ARE USING THEM RIGHT NOW FOR STUDIES, SO I WOULD ASK THAT, I GUESS MAKE A MOTION THAT. THAT WE DRAFTED SEND RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT OF REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCILS AND OPPOSING SB 62. SEO THE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION AND TO THE CHAIRS. OF THE COMMITTEES THAT WOULD SEE THAT BILL. THE SECOND THAT I COULD TAKE THAT OF US. IT'S A SECOND. OKAY THANK YOU. THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND AND THAT WE HAVE LANGUAGE FROM TOM LANAHAN AND I KNOW THAT WE CAN WORK THAT THROUGH IF WE DO THIS PASS THIS RESOLUTION RIGHT NOW AND NOT TO BRING IT BACK FOR ANOTHER MEETING, BECAUSE TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE RIGHT? I'LL SIGN OFF ON IT, AND I KNOW THE LANGUAGE FOR THE RESIDENTS WILL USE LANGUAGE OF COMMONLY USE LANGUAGE ACROSS OUR LOCAL REGIONAL GOVERNMENT GROUPS BELIEVE MR FREEMAN HAS A RESOLUTION READY. MR FREEMAN, AND OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE WE RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM ON AN ANNUAL BASIS WHEN WE GET INTO SESSION AND THE TIMING OF THESE THINGS BECOMES EMERGENT. IN THE PAST. WE HAD. COMMISSIONERS MEET WITH EITHER BEN OR JIM CHARLES EAT.
JUST PUT A LITTLE SHEET OF PAPER OF SOME KIND OF RECORD OF WHAT THEY WANTED TO SUPPORT OR DENY. AND THEN THAT WAY. WHERE THERE WAS A CONFUSION AFTER THE FACT LATER BECAUSE WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN HERE IS WE'RE GONNA OBVIOUSLY HAVE THIS RESOLUTION PRESENTED TO THE MAYOR AND HAVE IT BE SIGNED. AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, UH, MR MAYOR. I'LL HAVE JIM FOLLOW, BUT YOU TOMORROW JUST TO CONFIRM WHAT IT WAS THAT YOU WERE. TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH IT, BUT IF WE COULD MOVING FORWARD IN THE SESSION, HAVE YOU GUYS I THINK MEET WITH BEN ON THAT, AND HE'S GOT THE FORM JUST BECAUSE IN THE PAST WE HAD A COUPLE THAT CAME UP. THAT THE NEXT DAY IT TURNED OUT THAT THE CITY HAD TAKEN A POSITION OPPOSITE TO WHAT IT WAS INTENDED TO TAKE.
I'LL CHECK AND I'M ON THE REASON OF PADDING COUNSELOR. THEY KNOW THAT I'VE SEEN THE RESOLUTION. THIS WAS A PRETTY EASY ONE. I THINK WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE. IT'S FLOATING AROUND PRETTY COMMONLY. BUT I'VE JUST BEEN THINKING AS WE GO FORWARD. THERE'S OTHERS THEY'RE GONNA BE QUICK AND MORE COMPLICATED, ESPECIALLY ONES IN TALLAHASSEE RIGHT NOW, AND I KNOW THAT.
REPRESENTATIVE OVER DOG HAS PUT SOME RESOLUTIONS OUT AND I SEE THAT THEY'RE PEOPLE COMMENTED ON BOTH SIDES. SO AND WE COULD WE MAKE A VOTE ON THIS MOTION, PLEASE CLERK. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT. OH, SORRY, AND IN PUBLIC COMMENT ON OUR MOTION TO SENDING A RESOLUTION REGARDING SUPPORT IN REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCILS AND OPPOSING SENATE BILL 62 FORCE AND SENATE BILL 62 SPECIES SUCH A YEAR. NO COMMENTS ON THE PUBLIC CLERK. MR MACDONALD. YES, COMMISSIONER BURNER. YES COMMISSIONER MEYER? YES THANKS. MEGAN MATHESON. YES. MAYOR CLARKE? YES THANK YOU, MR MEYER. DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE COMMENTS? YES, BRIEFLY. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. UM, I ALSO WILL REPORT DID MEET WITH REPRESENTATIVES. SNYDER HAD A GOOD INTRO MEETING. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. AND UH UM HE'S WERE CULTIVATING HIM AS A. HOME REAL HERO, SO LOOK FORWARD TO
[00:50:04]
WORKING WITH HIM CLOSER AND THEN FINALLY. I WAS REVIEWING SOME OF THE NOTES FROM THE L P A MEETING WHERE THERE'S A PROJECT THAT WAS PROPOSED ON CENTRAL PARKWAY. I KNOW THAT THE APPLICANT HAD PROPOSED TO SET ASIDE UNITS FOR MARKET RATE HOUSING. A REFLECTING AM I. I REMINDED ME THAT I REALLY THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO PRIORITIZE HAVING A MEETING.YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD SOME LIGHT AGENDAS LATELY, WHETHER IT'S AN AGENDA ITEM OR A WORKSHOP.
IDEALLY, A WORKSHOP WHERE WE REALLY START TO HAMMER OUT OUR HOUSING POLICY. WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH OUR HOUSING FUNDS. HOW WE WANT TO FREEMAN IS PREPARING THAT WILL BE ON AN UPCOMING AGENDA. GREAT. YOU AND I WERE JUST. ONE MIND, UM SO OKAY, GREAT. WELL, THEN WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THAT YOU MET HIM THERE. NICE MAYOR. OKAY. THANK YOU. UM. WE ALREADY MENTIONED A COUPLE TIMES THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL. AND TO YOUR POINT COMMISSION MCDONNELL AG. WE ALL SUPPORT THE RESOLUTION KEEPING THEM AROUND. THEY'RE WORKING ON TWO STUDIES FOR US RIGHT NOW. THE GATEWAY TRIANGLE DISTRICT AND THE U. S ONE ECONOMIC CORRIDOR. BOTH THOSE ARE FAIRLY INTEGRAL TO WHAT YOU MENTIONED ON THE M P O. THAT'S HAPPENING. I THINK I MENTIONED LAST MEETING. RIGHT? THERE IS NOW. FUNDING IN PLACE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN LANE FROM US ONE ONTO CANADA HIGHWAY. I THINK IT BE BENEFICIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW MEETINGS IF WE PERHAPS HAVE TREASURE. CLOSE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL COME. AND PRESENT TO US SOME OPTIONS. THEY WERE THE ONES THAT DID COMPLETE STREETS. STUDY AROUND THE CITY AND COUNTY FOR THE M P O ON PRESENTED THE CITY OF STUART THEY HAVE VERY BENEFICIAL IMPACT ON THAT US ONE CORRIDOR AND ESPECIALLY AS THE INTERSECTION OF PALM CITY ROAD AND US ONE. THAT'S IN MY MIND KIND OF THE SECOND PIECE TO THE PUZZLE. RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE HAVE IS TRAFFIC RUNNING DOWN. GOES WELL BRIDGE AND BEING DIRECTED. YOU KNOW AT THAT HOT RIGHT AS YOU MENTIONED AND IN THE NEAR FUTURE, THE NPR HAS ALREADY APPROVED. THAT RIGHT TURN LANE ON TOE CANTOR HIGHWAY, WHICH IS A MUCH LARGER CAPACITY ROAD. SO LOOKING OUT EVEN FURTHER INTO THE FUTURE OF WHAT? WHAT OPTIONS WE COULD HAVE TO IMPROVE THAT US ONE QUARTER, I THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HEAR FROM THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL AND US TO DISCUSS ON THAT IT WILL NOT BE PART OF THE STUDY. US ONE OF US ONE CORRIDOR. YEAH THAT Z. THAT'S STILL IN DISCOVERY. BUT IF THINK, I THINK WE HAVE A PRIORITY ON BOTH OF THOSE SECTIONS AND ALSO THE BRIDGE. UM CREEK. THINK IT WILL BE, YOU KNOW? HOW WOULD I KNOW THE TIMING BE TRYING TO REACH NO. APRIL OR SO FOR COMING BACK WITH A COMMENT TO THE M P O. RIGHT? WE COULD HAVE SOMETHING IN THE SECOND MEETING IN MARCH. OKAY? WE'RE HAVING A TOUR. MID MARCH OF THAT AREA, AND I THINK BY THEN WE WILL HAVE SOME. INDICATIONS OF WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH THOSE THINGS. THINK THEY'LL BE VERY OPPORTUNE. PRESENTATION. MAYBE THERE WERE EXCELLENT. THIS MERE TOUCHING ON THE STRAWS. I JUST WANTED TO MENTION I COMMUNICATED WITH THE OWNER CULVER'S AND STEWART KIND OF THROUGHOUT THE DRAW PROCESS HE HAS REITERATED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES. HE'S SAVING MONEY, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY.
BECAUSE HE'S BASICALLY NOT OFFERING STRAWS AND THEN GOING THROUGH TREMENDOUS. A LARGE REDUCTION IN STRAWS, YOU KNOW AND AGAIN, IF THERE ARE THOSE THAT ARE OPPOSED TO PLASTIC STRAWS ANY ANY RESIDENT CAN BRING THEIR OWN PLASTIC STRAW. ANY RESTAURANT THEY CHOOSE. MM.
TRANSITION SOMETHING I MYSELF ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT IS LIKE OKEECHOBEE. I'LL BE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE. I KNOW WE HAVE OTHER ITEMS ON THE AGENDA ABOUT IT. BUT THE LAKE I TIS THAT 15 POINTS. WARD 0 FT. I THINK TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN I SAID THAT IT WAS AT 15.44 FT. ONE MONTH AGO IS THAT 15.6 FT. A YEAR AGO. IT WAS AT 12.8 FT. UM BEST REDUCTION RATES. BETWEEN A QUARTER AND A HALF A FOOT A MONTH. SO BEST CASE SCENARIO THAT PUTS US ROUGHLY AT 14 FT.
MORE LIKELY, PLUS ABOVE THAT THAN THE MINUS. THAT'S A VERY SCARY SCENARIO. BE AT BY THE WET SEASON OF JUNE 1ST. I'M HAPPY. WE'RE PUTTING THAT ON RECORD AND WRITING. UM. AS COMMISSIONER MCDONALD MENTIONED THERE WAS AN NPR MEETING THIS MORNING. I ATTENDED AS WELL.
[00:55:02]
BUT THERE WAS ALSO A FAIRLY IMPORTANT LOW SOME PDT MEETING TO DISCUSS THE LAKE OVER TOBY MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT WILL BE ENACTED AND. MOVING FORWARD TOWARDS THE END OF 2022. UM.THEY'RE STARTING AND TODAY'S MEETING THEY. STARTING TOOK TO BLEND THE DISCUSSION OF MODELING FOR DIFFERENT PRIORITIES, MEANING US THE CALOOSAHATCHEE THE EVERGLADES MODELING FOR WATER SUPPLY. AND THE HARD PART NOW IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT MODEL IS MOST EQUITABLE. I JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I SPOKE TO SEVERAL OTHER STAKEHOLDERS, SOME FROM RIVERS COALITION OR INDIAN RIVER KEEPER. EVERGLADES. FRIENDS OF THE EVERGLADES AND ALL OF THEM COMPLIMENTED MISTER HOGARTH. WHO SPOKE. ON ON CITY STORES PRIORITIES IN THIS WE JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT. THE CORPS HAS SHOWN WITH THEIR OWN MODELING TO THIS POINT. THAT WITH BENEFIT TOE. OTHER STAKEHOLDERS. THEY CAN MODEL. SIGNIFICANT. MAJOR SIGNIFICANT, ALMOST ELIMINATE DISCHARGES FROM LAKE OKEECHOBEE INTO THE ST LUCIE ESTUARY. SO WHEN WE HEAR ABOUT WHAT IS EQUITABLE FOR US AND OUR RESIDENTS, AND WE REMEMBER THAT ABSOLUTELY NO DISCHARGES HAVE ABSOLUTELY THERE'S NO BENEFIT TO ANY DISCHARGE. IN THE ST LUCIE RIVER FROM LAKE OKEECHOBEE. THAT'S THE EQUALITY WE HAVE TO FIGHT FOR. ZERO DISCHARGES. THE LAST THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT. I'VE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH FPL'S CAKE. COTTON HER IT'S BEEN A LONG PROCESS, BUT THE WOODEN TELEPHONE POLES THAT ARE NOT IN USE ANYMORE. BYE. AS IT APPEARS NOW, FP AND L 18 T AND COMCAST. THAT BASICALLY ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDEWALK ON MARTIN LUTHER KING. ON THE LIST TO BE REMOVED BY F PIANO. SHE'LL BE FOLLOWING UP WITH THAT, BUT I'VE BEEN KIND OF THE SMALL FLY IN HER EAR ON THAT, AND IT'S THIS IS SOMETHING I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT BEFORE I RAN. BUT HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE A CLEAN, OPEN SIDE LOOK LIKE OTHERS ARE AROUND THE CITY. IN THE NEAR FUTURE. AND I BELIEVE MADAM MAYOR, THAT'S ALL MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. FIRST COMMENT. I'D LIKE TO JUST READ A THANK YOU
[COMMENTS BY CITY COMMISSIONERS]
NOTE FROM MISS HE THELMA WATERS FAMILY. ABOUT HER, UM INDUCTION INTO THE FLORIDA WOMAN'S HALL OF FAME AND THANKING THE CITY OF STUART FOR THE PROCLAMATION AND FOR ATTENDING THE SERVICE ORDER INDIAN TOWN IN THE FAMILY. SENDS THEIR BEST REGARDS. WITH REGARD TO COLBERT 19. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SHOWING CONCERN AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS ANY, UM PROBLEMS OF PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY IN THE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. GET IN COVERT 19 VACCINES AND ESPECIALLY IN OUR CITY OF STUART. BUT ALSO ON THE WRIST OF MARTIN COUNTY. AND I THINK THE CHURCH AND THE END OF THE CP AND OTHER GROUPS HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD. GET PEOPLE SIGNED UP, AND THEY'VE BEEN GETTING VACCINATED. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN VERY GOOD, AND SENATOR GALE HAROLD HAS BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER A COMMITTEE. TRY TO GET FEMA AND SOME OTHERS TO DO A BIG EVENT IN MARTIN COUNTY. WHETHER IT'S IN WHILE IN STUART OR WALL IN INDIAN TOWN OR ONE SOMEPLACE IN THE LOCATION SOMEWHERE IN THE COUNTY. TRY TO GET UP TO 500 PEOPLE VACCINATED ON ONE DAY. AND SO, COMMISSIONER. I MEAN, COMMISSIONER SENATOR HARRELL IS WORKING ON THAT AND I KNOW A LOT OF COMMUNITY GROUPS AND CHURCHES HAVE BEEN PUSHING TO GET EDUCATION OUT AND TO GET PEOPLE TO SIGN UP, SO WE'RE TRYING TO WORK AS MUCH AS WE CAN. BUT IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO HELP. MOVE FORWARD WITH COVERT VACCINATION. I'M SURE THAT EVERYBODY WOULD APPRECIATE THE ASSISTANCE. MR CITY MANAGER AND MR MAYOR. I'M NOT MAYOR.

ANOTHER THING IN 2018 AND JUDGE LEVIN ENTERED IN ORDER TELLING HER THERE IS NO CASE AND THE CASE IS CLOSED. AND NOW SHE'S FILING THIS DOCUMENTATION AND QUITE FRANKLY, WE SHOULD PROBABLY NOT EVEN GIVE HER THE ATTENTION BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS LOOKING FOR. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT'S WHAT IT SAYS, AND WE'RE NOT EVEN A PARTY TO THE LAWSUIT. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT. UM REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL. I THINK COMMISSIONER.

THE FACT THAT WHEN WE WERE GOING TO GET THE REPORT FROM THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL ON THE. US ONE CORRIDOR, SO I THINK THAT WE'RE ALL THINKING ABOUT THE SAME THING. I'M A MEMBER OF THE N NECK, WHICH IS THE AIRPORT ADVISER KNOWS ADVISOR COMMITTEE AND I THINK THEY HAVE AN IMMEDIATE ON THURSDAY COMING UP. AND THEN I ALSO HAVE BEEN TALKING TO OUR CITY MANAGER ABOUT HOW TO GET OUR STAFF TO GIVE US A REPORT SO THAT WE CAN GET STARTED ON DEALING SERIOUSLY WITH WHAT?

STUART GREEN MARKET DISCUSSION
]IS A DISCUSSION OF DELIBERATION ITEM. ADAM THERE? YES, SIR. PLEASE I'LL INTRODUCE THE ITEM AND THEN I'LL HAVE MR KRAKOWSKI DO AH SHORT PRESENTATION. THIS ITEM IS A FOLLOW UP TO, UH, IMPROMPTU DND DISCUSSION DELIBERATION THAT CAME UP TO MEETINGS AGO AS A RESULT OF
[01:20:02]
SOME COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS RESULT REVOLVING AROUND THE GREENMARKET. WE PROVIDED WITHIN YOUR AGENDA ITEM SEVERAL ATTACHMENTS. SOME OF THOSE PROVIDED TO US BY THE GREEN MARKET, AND THEN I'D ASKED STAFF AS A RESULT OF OUR DISCUSSION TWO WEEKS AGO. TO SEE HOW OTHER GREENMARKETS AROUND US OPERATE, WHICH STAFF HAS DONE AND IS GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU. AND THEN ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH THAT PRESENTATION, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TRY TO ENTERTAIN HER. ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT THE COMMISSION THEY HAVE ABOUT THIS ITEM. GOOD EVENING. JIM CARROLL SKI COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF STEWART LAST MONTH ON THE 25TH. YOU'VE ASKED US TO PUT A LITTLE. RESEARCH TOGETHER ON WHAT GREENMARKETS MAY LOOK LIKE IN THE AREA. SO I PUT TOGETHER A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION FOR YOU. BEFORE I GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS I'D LIKE TO ACTUALLY GO DOWN MEMORY LANE HERE AND TALK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE GREENMARKET THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, AND AS I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH, I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT LONG. IT'S BEEN AROUND HERE TOO. AND HELEN, THE BRIDE IS HERE. SHE REMINDED ME. IT STARTED WAY BACK IN 2000 AND TWO RIGHT IN FRONT OF CITY HALL. SO HAD HUMBLE BEGINNINGS STARTED OUT IN OUR PARKING LOT THERE, AND AS TIME MOVED ON, THERE WERE SEVERAL LOCATIONS THAT WERE EXPERIMENTED WITH. ONE WAS OVER AT FLAGLER PARK.THEN IT WILL MOVED OVER TO MEMORIAL PARK DURING THE APPROXIMATE TIME OF 2000 AND 5 TO 2000 AND SEVEN AND THEN WHEN 2000 AND EIGHT CAME AROUND THINGS MOVED TOGETHER OVER AT THE CITY HALL ANNEX, AND IT WORKED KIND OF IN TANDEM WITH ROCK AND RIVERWALK IS THAT WAS STARTING TO GAIN SOME MOMENTUM. AND OF COURSE WE HAVE OUR COVERT DEAR. IN WHICH THE GREENMARKET MOVED OVER TO FLAGLER PARK THIS LAST YEAR, AND IT'S BEEN THERE SINCE THAT TIME PERIOD. UNDER THE EMERGENCY ORDINANCE THAT WE HAVE SET UP THE CITY MANAGER. I LOOKED AT. FOUR GREEN MARKETS THROUGHOUT THE AREA ON THE TREASURE COAST AND WEST PALM AREA. AND I STARTED OUT WITH WHAT WAS CLOSEST TO US, WHICH IS THE FORT PIERCE FARMERS MARKET. WHICH IS A FIBER. ONE C THREE THEIR NUMBER OF VENDORS THEY AVERAGE ABOUT 50. IT DEPENDS ON WHICH YEAR WERE IN COVERT YEARS. OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED OUR PARTICIPATION IN VENDORS AS WELL AS PARTICIPATION ON ALL LEVELS.
THIS ONE'S NO DIFFERENT. VENDOR PRICED BY WEEK IS ABOUT 30 TO $35 IN THERE AMOUNT TO THE CITY WAS $5200. THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS IS RUN BY THEIR RECREATION DEPARTMENT. THEY HAVE. ANYWHERE BETWEEN 152 IS LOW IS 45, DEPENDING ON WHAT TIME OF YEAR IT IS. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT RATES. THEY HAVE A FARMER RATE FOR $25. THEY HAVE A SMALL BUSINESS RATE OF 45.
THEY HAVE A FOOD VENDOR FOR 50 FINE ART FOR 45 CRAFTED 50. AND ANY FIBER. ONE C THREE IS THAT THEY HAVE ON THERE WERE $35 THEIR GROWTH BECAUSE THEY'RE BIG OPERATION IS $300,000 IN THEIR NET IS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 175 AND $200,000. THAT'S RUN LOCALLY TO THE BY THE CITY ITSELF. CITY WEST PALM BEACH PRODUCES THEIR EVENT THEMSELVES AS WELL THROUGH THEIR COMMUNITY EVENTS DEPARTMENT. I ONLY HAVE IT FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS FROM OCTOBER TO MARCH. THEY HAVE ABOUT 92 100 VENDORS TELL RIGHT THERE ON DOWNTOWN BY KLA MANUS STREET. I'M SURE WE'VE ALL BEEN DOWN THERE BEFORE. VENDOR RATE. THEY'RE ANYWHERE BETWEEN TWO AND 400. WHICH IS SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR AREAS THEY COULD GET THAT KIND OF PRICE. ON THEIR GROWTH IS APPROXIMATELY 125. HOUSE IN THE YEAR. UM STUART GREENMARKETS. FIVE A ONE C FOUR ON AVERAGE THERE BETWEEN 45 50. YOU KNOW THEY CAN GO UP FROM THERE, BUT YOU KNOW, I WAS CONSERVATIVE ARE ESTIMATES $25 FOR VENDOR. I THINK THAT THEY STAY LATER. THAT'S AN EXTRA $10 IF THEY STAY FOR THE CONCERT WHEN THEY'RE OVER IT, OF AND IT'S PARKING LOT, AND THE AMOUNT OF THE CITY IS $2000. SO I PUT THIS TOGETHER JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A BACKGROUND OF WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND US REALLY COULDN'T FIND ANY OTHER EXAMPLES THAT SEEMED ANALOGOUS IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. PORT ST. LUCIE DOES NOT CURRENTLY DO ONE. THEIR ANSWER WAS THEY DIDN'T WANT TO REALLY COMPETE WITH THE FORT PIERCE GREEN MARKET. ON DAY I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ONE UP IN BUREAU BEACH. SO THAT'S WHAT WAS ASKED OF STAFF IS TO FIND OUT EXACTLY HOW MUCH WAS ACTUALLY GOING BACK TO THE CITIES. AND THAT'S WAS THE NATURE OF THIS SLIDE. OKAY,
[01:25:02]
AND, UH BEGIN WHATEVER DISCUSSION NEED, LIKE I'D LIKE TO START THE DISCUSSION. THANK YOU. JIM E JUST HAD A QUESTION. YOU COULD EITHER KEEP THAT UP OR NOT, BUT, UM FOR THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS AND THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH. THEY SEEM TO PULL IN THE HEFTY AMOUNT, BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING. IF THOSE CITIES ACTUALLY. RUN DEGREE MARKET, LIKE THEY HAVE STAFF AND THEY HAVE SOMETHING OR ARE THEY LIKE THE WAY THAT WE DO WITH THE CITY OF STUART? DO WE ALLOW A THIRD PARTY? FIVE A ONE C THREE OR DEER OR JUST ANOTHER GROUP? THAT COMES IN AND DOES IT IN PALM BEACH GARDENS, THEIR RECREATION DEPARTMENT RUNS IT. AND IN THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH, THEIR COMMUNITY EVENTS DEPARTMENT DOES IT, WHICH IS AN EXTENSION OF THEIR CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE. MANY MERRY PICNIC IS THE DIRECTOR OF THAT. AND THEY'RE ALSO THE ONES THAT DO THINGS LIKE TRAUMATIZED BY NIGHT, SO THEY HAVE A STAFF AND IT'S A MATTER OF FACT. I THINK THAT THE PALM BEACH GARDENS RECREATION DEPARTMENT HAS A GREEN MARKET COORDINATOR AND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH THAT OPERATION. OKAY AND THAT LITTLE AMOUNT THE $2000 FROM THE STUART GREEN MARKET. NOW IS THAT. JUST WHAT THEY PAY THE CITY IN RENT OR WHAT? IT HAPPENS WITH OUR LITTLE COORDINATE, OR, UM. UP AGREEMENT WITH THEM THAT THE CITY GETS A PORTION AND THEN THEY GET THE RISK FOR THEIR OWN. FIVE OR ONE C THREE OPERATION, AND SO ON. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT'S OLD SMALL AND I'M NOT SURE UM. YOU KNOW HOW THAT NUMBER IS? I THOUGHT THAT THE NUMBER THAT I WANTED TO SEE WHICH I SAW IN ANOTHER REPORT. WHAT STILL WASN'T AH, FULL NUMBER TO ME, UM, BECAUSE I THINK THAT THEY WERE DONE IT LIKE 17, OR 14,000 EXPENSES AND ABOUT 20 OR 22,000 SOMETHING IN IN IN THE READ THE REPORT THE PAPERWORK THAT I READ BEFORE PREPARING FOR THIS. BUT I THOUGHT THAT SOMEHOW WAS IT CAN WE SHOW THAT THE GREEN MARKET IS MAKING EXPERIENCE AND ALL THE VENDORS THAT THEY HAVE. AND THEN TRULY, THEY SPEND EXTRA MONTH OR FOR A WEEK AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT OUR POINT IS ON, IS IT THAT WE JUST WANT TO SAY? CHARGE THEM X AND THAT'S IT THAT YOU GO ON AND DO YOUR BUSINESS OR DO YOU STILL WANT TO KEEP UP WHERE WE GET A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT THEY BRING IN AND OFF THIS BETTER GENES, SO I JUST WANTED TO BE SURE.THAT IF WE CAN JUST LEASED OUT TO THEM OR GIVE THEM TIME TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO, AND THEN JUST PAY US SOME MONEY, AND THEY DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO. AS LONG AS WE ALL BELIEVE IT'S FEAR. OR IF WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH THIS THING WHERE THERE'S A PERCENTAGE AND THEN WE DON'T KNOW HOW THEY CALCULATE WHAT THEY KEEP FOR THEMSELVES. I JUST NEED TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
OKAY? YES, SIR. MR MACDONALD. OKAY, SO BEEN REVIEWING THIS PAPER CAN WE DID BEFORE YOU MOVE ON? JUST ANSWER HER QUESTION. WE DON'T GET A PERCENTAGE. IT'S A $2000 LICENSE. I WANTED TO BE SURE, OKAY. THE AMOUNT IT WAS CHARGED HISTORICALLY. WAS BASED UPON THE FACT THAT WE DO SPECIAL EVENT PERMITS AND RATHER THAN HAVING THE GREENMARKET APPLY, AND OUR STAFF PROCESS A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT EVERY SINGLE WEEK FOR A SUNDAY EVENT. FOR BARACK AND RIVERWALK. WE HAD CREATED A SCENARIO WHERE THEY COULD GET THE ANNUAL EVENT THROUGH ONE APPLICATION PROCESS. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE ENDED UP DOING FOR THE GREEN MARKET AS WELL.
AND WHEN MR TROTSKY MENTIONED THE FORT PIERCE AMOUNT TO THE CITY IS 5200. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT RELATIONSHIP IS. BUT IT SURE DOES LOOK LIKE $100. HER WEAK APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT. CORRECT TIMES. 52 WEEKS, SEEMS PRETTY CONSISTENT, AND I'M SORRY. IT'S BEEN A LIVING THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE BECAUSE I WANTED TO PUT EVERYTHING OUT. I'M SORRY.
GO ON, MR MCDONALD. OKAY THANK YOU. SO BEEN LOOKING OVER THE PAPERWORK THAT WAS PROVIDED.
I'M NOT AS WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER IT'S $2000 OR $500 OR $5200. WHAT? I'M WORRIED ABOUT HERE AS I LOOK AT THIS. I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE FINANCIALS. HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT TRANSPARENCY. COOPERATION. AND YOU KNOW EVERYTHING WE DO HAS TO BE DONE. COMPLETELY ABOVE.
LORD SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I SEE HERE IS I SEE. FOR EXAMPLE, AND GROSS INCOME FOR 2019 OF 17,000 WITH 21,000 BEING SPENT. BUT THEN THERE'S AN EMAIL THAT SAYS THAT THERE IS MONEY THAT'S NOT INCORPORATED INTO THE FINANCIALS, AND THAT'S. THAT'S A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE INCORPORATED THE FINANCIALS AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO NOT
[01:30:04]
INCORPORATED INTO THE 9 90 CARD. WHEN I DO THE MATH WHEN I GO TO ONE OF THE MEMOS HERE. IT TALKS ABOUT BEING A CONSISTENTLY AN AVERAGE OF 47 VENDORS. BUT EVEN IF YOU NARROW THAT DOWN TO 40 AT $25 A WEEK, I THINK THAT ACTUALLY COMES OUT THE $52,000 A YEAR. AND THAT'S NOT REFLECTED ON ANY OF THE DOCUMENTATION. SO I HAVE THIS CONCERN THAT. OH, THAT THERE IS NOT AN NOT BEING AN ACCURATE REPORTING. THE CITY OF STUART TO HISS SAID. IT'S A LICENSE AGREEMENT. IT'S NOT WE GOT TO REMEMBER THE LICENSE AGREEMENT. NOT ONLY SECRETE ME THIS IS NOT ONLY SINCE THERE'S A LICENSE AGREEMENT THAT WE'RE JUST AS YES, YES, COMMISSIONER MEYER IS CAN RECALL WHEN WE DID THE LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR GUN FOR FARMS YEARS AGO, THERE WAS CERTAIN CONDITIONS THAT WENT ABOVE, UM RUNNING ABOVE THE ACTUAL DOLLARS PAID TO THE CITY, AND SO. AND I THINK THAT I'M I'M CONCERNED THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING THE REPORTING AND THAT CONCERNED THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING THE BENEFIT THAT WE'RE, UH THAT WE'RE EXPECTING FOR THIS. IT WAS ACTUALLY I WAS KIND OF DISAPPOINTED WHEN I GOT THIS PAPERWORK, SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE. FOR NOW, AND I'M SURE I'LL HAVE MR MAYER. YOUR HAND UP. I'M NEVER OUT OF THE NEXT TIME I ECHO. EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. AS YOU KNOW, NOW, I CAN KIND OF PROVIDE MY EXPERIENCES, HAVING BEEN A VENDOR AT THE MARKET OVER THE YEARS, YOU KNOW. UH, FOR ME, GREENMARKETS FARMERS MARKETS ARE A SOCIAL SERVICE THEIR COMMUNITY SERVICE. SO WHILE I AM NOT AS I'M NOT AS UH FOCUSED ON THE AMOUNT OF THE CITY. I'M NOT WORRIED THAT IT'S 2000. FOR ME. IT'S THAT WE'RE PROVIDING. WE'RE PROVIDING A SPACE FOR VENDORS TO COME THAT IT'S A PLACE THAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE TO OUR DOWNTOWN THAT IT'S AH, A NICE EVENT THAT GETS PEOPLE OUT. BOND YOU KNOW, HELPS PROVIDE A SPACE FOR FARMERS AND FOOD PRODUCERS AND WHOEVER ELSE TO COME AND SELL THEIR WARES FOR ME. THE AMOUNT TO THE CITY ISN'T REALLY MY FOCUS, ALTHOUGH I'D CERTAINLY BE WILLING TO DEBATE WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT TO DO MORE. FOR ME. THE FINANCIALS ARE THE ISSUE IN THAT. YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW? WE CAN SEE CLEARLY THROUGH THE REPORTING THAT IT'S NOT CORRECT. IT'S WRONG, AND SO I GUESS WHAT I NEED TO FIGURE OUT IS WHAT WE HOW WE MOVE FORWARD. IS IT? UM YOU KNOW, DO WE DO WE DEFINED CLEAR? I MEAN, HOW DO WE MONITOR GOOD ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES? AND IS THAT REALLY SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO MONITOR OR BECAUSE? YOU KNOW, I'M SPEAKING WITH MR MOORE TELL ABOUT THE ISSUE. HE BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT THAT YOU KNOW WELL, SO WE HAVE ONE EXAMPLE HERE OF HOW WE UNCOVERED THAT THINGS WERE NOT REPORTED ACCURATELY. BUT THAT COULD HAPPEN WITH ANY ORGANIZATION THAT COULD HAPPEN WITH ANY BUSINESS THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH GROUND FLOOR FARM.YOU KNOW, ON BITS, JUST IT HAPPENS THAT WE THAT WE SEE IT NOW, WITH THIS REPORTING AND.
YOU KNOW, SO I GUESS WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE BETTER. SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE FOR THE NEXT GO AROUND WITH WHATEVER WITH STUART GREEN MARKET OR ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION OR, HOWEVER, WE WANT TO DO THIS MOVING FORWARD. CERTAINLY MY MAIN ISSUE IS THAT THE TAX IMPLICATIONS AND WHAT POTENTIAL. RISK THE TAXPAYERS AND US APPEAR. COULD COULD FACE BY NOW, KNOWING THAT SOMETHING IS NOT IS INACCURATE THAT'S BEING REPORTED TO THE IRS ARRESTS. AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? FOR US? I MEAN, ARE WE LEGALLY LIABLE THAT WE NOW KNOW THAT IT'S INCORRECT. WE CAN ALLOW IT TO CONTINUE. HOW DO WE ADDRESS IT? THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I'M AT RIGHT NOW. AS FAR AS THIS IMMEDIATE WHERE'S YOUR BRUNER? THANK YOU BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF EVERYONE. THIS IS WHEN THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE NEED TO KNOW THIS IS $2000 A YEAR. NOT AND, UM. LET ME READ TO YOU. WHAT A FATHER. ONE C FOUR DOES. IT'S A SOCIAL WELFARE ORGANIZATION SUCH AS A CIVIC ORGANIZATION OR A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, AN ORGANIZATION IS CONSIDERED BY THE IRISH TO BE OPERATED EXCLUSIVELY. YOUR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY. YOU'VE BEEN RUNNING THIS ALMOST 20 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD ONE TIME WHERE HERE. WANTING TO GIVE TO YOUR COMMUNITY. E I HAVE NOT
[01:35:03]
BEEN RUNNING AT 20 YEARS, IN 18 YEARS, AND THE THING IS IT'S SO DISTURBING BECAUSE OF WHAT WEST PALM AND FOR PIERCE AND THE OTHER PEOPLE COULD DO. WE COULD DO THAT IT NEEDS TO GROW. UM.THEN WE TALK ABOUT LIKE CASH, SO HE. THEY PAY YOU CASH AND I DON'T KNOW WHO IS THE BOSS HERE.
SHORT BUS ON THE THREE GUYS THERE. SURE. WHEN EVERYBODY IS READY. I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS EVERY QUESTION THAT YOU WERE GOING TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO MAKE IT. ABSOLUTELY I'M JUST WAITING FOR EVERYBODY TO HAVE IN TROUBLE COMING. YEAH DO SHORT BECAUSE I'M READY WHENEVER YOU'RE READY. YES SIR. YOU CAN. YOU COULD HAVE A SEAT UNTIL WE'RE READY. WE'LL CALL OKAY. THANK YOU. OH, YOU CAN I AM. MY NAME IS KEVIN. KEVIN. YES, MA'AM. YOU HAVE? YEAH. YOU COULD SAY THAT. YOU CAN'T SIT DOWN, OKAY? I HAVE THIS TO SAY TO ON EXPLANATION RECEIVED FROM KEVIN ME SEE IF I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE SAID IS RIGHT AFTER YOU COLLECT ALL THE TENANTS FEES YOU SAID $1250. ON THE SUNDAY ONE SUNDAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT. YOU TAKE THAT $300 FOR A BAND? AND YOU TAKE OUT ANOTHER $100 FOR AN ASSISTANT. THAT LEAVES YOU 100 $50. YOU TAKE 425 OF IT. FOR YOURSELF. AND THAT GIVE GM THE OTHER HALF, WHICH IS GREEN MARKET, THE OTHER HAVE TO PUT IN THE BANK. SO NONE OF THIS GOES INTO A BANK. AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH IS CASH AND IF IT'S NOT CASH, WHAT DO THEY WRITE THE CHECKS OUT, TOO? COME FORWARD HERE. MAYBE YOU CAN ADD YOUR BEAUTY. YES. HOLD ON, BEKA. DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? EVERYTHING MY YOUR. OK, SIR. BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING ELSE, MY NAME IS KEVIN OSBORN. I'M THE MANAGER OF THE STUART GREENMARKET. YES, SIR. OKAY MY ADDRESS.

STUART GREEN. OKAY I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT I'M GONNA LEAVE THIS. THE REST OF THIS MEETING OR MOST OF IT. AFTER THE CITY MANAGER AND THIS CITY ATTORNEY OKAY SHORT OF THAT IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I'M GONNA LET THEM BECAUSE WE DON'T GET INTO A DISCUSSION BACK AND FORTH WITH YOU, BUT ALL OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE A CHANCE IN THIS DISCUSSION DELIBERATION. TO TRY TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES THAT I'M GONNA LET HER CITY CITY ATTORNEY KEEP US IN CONTROL. SO YOUR YOUR HEAD, OKAY. THANK YOU. MRS BRUNER. MR MACDONALD, MR. MATHESON MAYOR CLARKE, MR MAYER. AND ENTERED IAS ATTORNEY MARTEL. I HOPE I CAN ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS.
I HAVE TO START 17 YEARS AGO. I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THIS QUICK AS I CAN. THERE'S A MAN BY THE NAME OF BERNIE MALONE, WHO STARTED IN CREATED THE STEWARD GREENMARKET. OKAY. HE WAS ALSO THE TREASURER OF THE STUART GREEN MARKET. HE HAD COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE STUART GREEN MARKET FOR US LONG AS HE WAS ALIVE. HE PASSED AWAY APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS AGO.
GIVE OR TAKE SIX MONTHS. I DON'T KNOW THE ACTUAL DATE. NOTHING COULD HAPPEN WITHOUT HIS APPROVAL. WE ALL KNOW WHAT KIND OF INDIVIDUAL HE WAS. WE ALL HAD TO FOLLOW HIS REGULATIONS, HIS RULES. FOR SOME REASON. THE CITY OF STUART. NEVER DID ANYTHING.
TWO. QUESTION HIS AUTHORITY. ONCE HE PASSED AWAY. WE WERE THROWN EVERY SINGLE CURVE BALL.
TO THE STUART GREEN MARKET TO TRY TO SAVE ALL OF THESE INDIVIDUAL VENDORS. SINCE STEWART PRE MARKET SINCE THE INDIVIDUAL BERNIE MILAN PASSED AWAY. WAY OPENED UP. WHAT? WE GOT A NEW ATTORNEY. WE HAVE A C P A WE HAVE DONE, UM. WE HAVE BEEN A COMPLETE COMPLIANCE WITH COVE. IT AND ALL OF THE. CORONAVIRUS ISSUES THAT WE'VE HAD. WE'VE MOVED ALL AROUND.
TRYING TO SAVE THE VENDORS. THE LIVELIHOOD OF 42 52 60 FAMILIES. WHICH IS MOST OF THEM. ARE THERE FULL TIME JOBS. HERE'S THE PROBLEM. MR MALONE PAST. MY WIFE AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. WE WERE DONE. WE WERE TOLD EXACTLY WHAT HE TOLD US TO DO. I AM A CONSULTANT OF THE STUART GREEN MARKET VENDORS. MY JOB IS TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY SHOWS UP ON TIME. IS
[01:40:07]
APPROPRIATE AS A GREEN MARKET AS POSSIBLY COULD BE. THAT IS MY JOB. THAT'S WHAT MR MALONE TOLD ME TO DO. HE NEVER TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT TAXATION. 501 C 35 AT ONCE BEFORE HE NEVER TOLD ME ANYTHING TO DO ABOUT SUNBIZ. HE NEVER TOLD ME ANYTHING TO DO ABOUT HOW TO CLAIM MY OWN TAXES.HE TOLD ME YOU WOULD COLLECT A PORTION OF THE MONEY AND YOU THAT'S THAT'S YOUR INCOME.
THAT'S. THE LARGEST IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. LARGEST. NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION IN THIS COUNTRY IS THE MAYO CLINIC. THOSE DOCTORS ARE NOT WORKING FOR FREE. OKAY? MAKING ON AVERAGE OF ABOUT 352 $400 A WEEK. TAKING CARE OF MANY PEOPLE. WITH THEIR JOBS. YOU CANNOT RUN A GREEN MARKET.
OKAY? WITH JUST PRODUCE. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT BORDERS, BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE FARM THAT I'M AWARE OF. IN THE DOWNTOWN IN THE STEWART REGION. THAT'S VERY CLOSE TO STUART. THAT'S NOT EVEN A VENDOR OF OURS. HAVE TO DO WHAT'S BEST. FOR THE PEOPLE THAT PRODUCE CREATE GROW. MAKE. AND KEEP IT IS LOCAL IN HIS GREEN AS POSSIBLE. YESTERDAY WE HAD OVER 500 PEOPLE THAT WALK THROUGH THE MARKET. THERE IS NO NON TRANSPARENCY ANYMORE. MR OF MALONE REST IN PEACE. ALWAYS TOLD ME, KEVIN AS LONG AS I'M ALIVE, YOU DON'T TALK TO YOU GUYS. I GOT NEWS FOR YOU. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I LITERALLY FOLLOWED HIS LEAD AND NOW I AM LEARNING AS I GO. WE HAVE DONE SO MUCH IN THE PAST THREE YEARS TO KEEP THIS GOING.
WE ALSO HAVE. WITH YOUR GODFREY DARKS IT AND YOU HAVE A VERY VALID POINT. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. SAYS LAST IT JUST JUST THE TEST THREE YEARS. MAYBE ACTUALLY, I THINK IT'S CLOSER TO FOUR YEARS. OKAY. $5000 TO CHRISTMAS LIGHTS FOR THE STUART FIRST CITY, STEWART $5000 TO THE ELECTRIC AT THE AT THE PARKING LOT RIGHT BEHIND MAYOR CLARKE. TOO. UH, TOO. FOR ELECTRIC HOOKUP. RIGHT BEFORE OR I'M GONNA BE RIGHT FOR A FEW MINUTES A FEW MONTHS BEFORE MR MALONE PASSED AWAY. OUR BOARD VOTED ON GIVING $60,000. TOO, AND I FORGOT THE NAME.
VOLUNTEER EASE IN MEDICINE. HE NEVER TOLD ME THAT WE HAD TO APPROVE IT WITH YOU GUYS. I DIDN'T KNOW. I'M LEARNING AS WE GO. WE ARE BECOMING AS TRANSPARENT AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.
WE HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. YOU WANT TO KNOW IF YOU WANT TO ASK ME SOMETHING. ASK ME. WAS A SMALL GROWER LIKE MR MAYER MAYER. I AM NOT EVEN WORRIED ABOUT THE MONEY. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO SURVIVE. IN THE. COVE IN 19 SITUATION. WE HAVE NONPROFITS THAT COME IN. EVERY SINGLE WEEK. A SPACE WE HAVE GOT. ANIMALS ADOPTIONS, BOYS AND GIRL SCOUTS ELEVATE HOPE HOUSE OF HOPE RIVER WARRIORS ONE OF THE ONE OF THE CITY COMMISSIONERS. ACTUALLY WANTED. TO WORK AT THE MARKET FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKENDS. TO HELP BECOME REELECTED, OKAY? WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE POSSIBLY CAN. FOR THE CITY FOR THE COMMUNITY. THERE IS NO AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THIS AGAIN. THERE IS NO NON TRANSPARENCY, THE ONLY TRANSPARENT THE NON TRANSPARENCY THAT WE HAVE. IS THAT WE ARE YOU LEARNING AS WE GO? WE HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. THIS IS NOT ABOUT MAKING $400. I HAVE ANOTHER JOB. I HAVE MY OWN BUSINESS. I KNOW EXACTLY HOW HARD IT IS. THIS IS I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. I CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MONEY IF WE'RE DOING THAT WRONG. TELL US WHAT TO DO. BUT AFTER MR MALONE PASSED AWAY NOBODY TOLD ME ANYTHING WEIRD LEARNING AS WE GO AND FINALLY. I JUST WANTED TO SAY A COUPLE MORE THINGS. AND THEN I'M GONNA LET YOU GO. AND THEN YOU CAN TELL ME ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT LAST YEAR? BECAUSE WE HAD TO LEARN WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS, MR TROTSKY TAUGHT ME AND HOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FIVE A ONE C THREE AND 501 C FOUR WAS THAT COST THE STEWART GREENMARKET ALMOST $10,000 BECAUSE WE HAD TO PAY $259 A WEEK. TO YOU. I HAD NO IDEA. I
[01:45:06]
HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS DOING, BECAUSE WHEN MR MALONE PASSED AWAY. HIS LEGACY PASSED AWAY ALONG WITH ALL OF THE CONFUSION. WE'RE NOT OUT. TO MAKE MONEY. I COULD EASILY RAISE THE PRICE TO 40 OR 50, OR $100. $25 A WEEK. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY. IT'S ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I KNOW THAT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD IF I COULD JUST CLARIFY A COUPLE OF ISSUES THERE BECAUSE IT INFERRED THAT STAFF DID NOTHING ON GREEN MARKET AND I JUST WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR. I HAVE ABOUT 50 EMAILS. TOOK PLACE IN JULY OF 2018. WHEN IT CAME TO THE CITY'S ATTENTION THAT THEY HAD DONATED $60,000. TO THE. NON CITY CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION. AND I AM IN ADDITION TO MEETING WITH STAFF AND CONTACTING THE IRIS AND DOING OTHER RESEARCH. I REMEMBER SITTING IN THIS ROOM RIGHT HERE. WITH THE BOARD AND EXPLAINING TO THEM THAT THAT WAS NOT THE APPROPRIATE MEASURE. THEY WERE NOT A MAN PROFIT THAT THEY NEEDED TO HAVE THEIR BANK RECORDS. AND THEY SAID, WELL, WE'RE JUST USING BERNIE'S PERSONAL ACCOUNT, AND I SAID THAT'S ILLEGAL. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. AND I SAID, YOU NEED TO HAVE AN AUDIT AND YOU NEED TO REPORT MONTHLY WHAT YOUR REVENUES ARE AND THE BOARD. HIS FIDUCIARY RARELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF THE FIVE OF ONE C THREE AND THE REASON IT WASN'T BROUGHT TO THE CITY'S ATTENTION BECAUSE THOSE BOARD MEMBERS BREACHED THEIR DUTY AS BOARD MEMBERS. AND I EXPLAINED THAT THE ENTIRE THING NEEDED TO BE REDONE OR WE NEEDED TO STOP IMMEDIATELY. THE BOARD THEN APPLY FOR FIVE OF ONE C THREE STATUS WAS ONE TOLD BY THE I R. S THAT THEY WERE, IN FACT, NOT A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY HAD DONE ANY CHARITY EVER. AND AS A RESULT, THEY APPLIED FOR FIVE A ONE C FOUR, WHICH IS FINE. THE MONEY THEY SPENT ON LAWYERS WASN'T BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THE CITY HAD DONE. BUT IF THEY HAVE AN ACCOUNTANT AND A LAWYER SINCE 2000 AND 18, THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT GENERAL ATTENDED. BY THE WAY I'M NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, EITHER. I DON'T CARE IF THE CITY WAVES THE MONEY TO ME, IT'S ABOUT THE CITY CAN'T GIVE AWAY ITS PARKING LOT OR IT'S PUBLIC LAND TO A PRIVATE BUSINESS, AND IT HAS TO BE A FIVE OF ONE, SOMETHING ORGANIZATION. AND IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR THAT THERE'S CERTAIN IRIS CRITERIA AND I REMEMBER WE SPENT ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF. SIT IN THIS ROOM GOING OVER IT ALL SO TO ACT LIKE THE CITY DIDN'T HELP HER DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING. MENTO LEARNED TONIGHT THAT THE GOAL OF THE BOARD WAS TO NOT SPEAK TO THE CITY AND TO CONCEAL FROM THE CITY CONCERNS ME, BUT IT WASN'T ACCURATE TO SAY THAT FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS CITY WASN'T INVOLVED IN THERE WAS WE WERE ASSURED THERE WAS A LAWYER AND AN ACCOUNTANT AND GENERAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES THAT MAKE IF I JUST MAY MAKE JUST ONE QUICK POINT. FIRST OF ALL, THERE IS NO BLAME TO YOU GUYS.NONE. THAT'S NOT MY THAT'S NOT THE POINT. MR MARTEL IS EXACTLY RIGHT. THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE ASKING. WHAT? WE'RE WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THIS WE HAD NO EDUCATION ON ANYTHING. OUTSIDE OF HERE OUTSIDE OF A COUPLE OF MEETINGS HERE AND THERE. WE DON'T THIS IS THIS IS A WE'RE TALKING ABOUT US. A LITTLE GREEN MARKET. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU KNOW THE BRIDGE THAT'S BROKEN DOWN. I UNDERSTAND EVERYBODY'S POINT. I GET IT. WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER. SO WE CAN. WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WANT, AND YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WANT. IT'S NOT AS COMPLICATED AS EVERYBODY IS MAKING IT. THAT AMERICAN AND I SAY A FEW THINGS, CAN I? THIS IS MR BRADLEY. MYSELF NO KEPT MR OSBORNE, KEVIN OSBORN. MR MARTEL. DO YOU KNOW WHO ARE THE PRINCIPLES ON THE ORGANIZATION AS IT STANDS NOW. BY THE WAY, I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THEIR 9 90 IS DIFFERENT, AND I'VE LOOKED AT 90 SUNBIZ. OKAY. NONE OF THIS WAS EVER HAPPENING WHEN MR MALONE WAS ALIVE, NOBODY DID ANYTHING. 1ST 13 YEARS AND THEN WHEN HE PASSES WE GET ATTACKED. EVERYBODY GET TO ENJOY THE MONEY FOR 13 YEARS OR WHAT? YOU MEAN VETERANS IN A MEDICINE? THE $60,000? YES. WHEN I TOOK IT OVER. WE HAD $7000. THANK YOU, 60,000. I'M HOPING THAT I ASKED MR MARTEL AND MR CITY MANAGER TO HELP ME. I DO NOT WANT IT TO SEEM AS IF YOU'RE BEING ATTACKED. AND THAT OUR COMMISSIONERS AIR FIGHTING BACK AND FORTH WITH YOU. WE WANT TO HAVE PROPER DISCOURSE HERE AND WE WANT TO SHARE INFORMATION, MR. UM OFF TRAIL, MISTER. AM MCDONALD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. NO. WAY I'M
[01:50:07]
HEARING IS TAKE MR MARTEL CONTESTS. YOU KNOW, I'M SPEAKING TO MY OTHER COMMISSIONERS AS WELL AS YOU, BUT REALLY TO MOTHER COMMISSIONER FROM HERE, I GUESS. THE GOAL WAS NOT WAS FOR THE BOARD, NOT TO KEEP US IN THE WORLD. OF BOARD WAS NOTIFIED THREE YEARS AGO. BUT MR MARTEL OF THE ACTIONS THEY NEEDED TO TAKE IMMEDIATELY, WHICH OBVIOUSLY, MANY OF THOSE ACTIONS HAVE GOT. MR CARL SKI, WOULD YOU SAY FAR IS, UM THAT THE GREEN MARKET AND THEY'RE BORED AND HAS BEEN COOPERATIVE WAS WHEN YOU ASKED FOR DOCUMENTS AND SO FORTH. IT'S BEEN CHALLENGING, CHALLENGING. THAT'S YES. NO. I HAVE TO SAY IT'S BEEN CHALLENGING. WE'VE HAD WE'VE HAD A CHALLENGING RELATIONSHIP. YOU'VE HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING DOCUMENTS. YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. WEAVE. WE'VE GOT A. EVEN EVEN AFTER THREE YEARS WHEN WE ASKED FOR THE UPDATED FINANCIALS RECENTLY AFTER MR MARTEL HEAD THE MEETING. S O. I HAVE TO WONDER. I'M WONDERING OUT LOUD HAS THE BOARD KEPT MEETING MINUTES? IS THE BOARD, YOU KNOW FOR YOU HAD HAD THEY HAD REGULAR MEETINGS HAVE THEY KEPT MINUTES OF THE MEETINGS HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS WHICH LEAD TO THE TRANSPARENCY ARGUMENT.QUITE FRANKLY, I'M READY TO MOVE ON BECAUSE I YET. DON'T WANT TO SAY TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH. ORGANIZATION THAT CAN'T FOLLOW THE RULES. NO, THAT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD, BUT NOBODY FOLLOW THE RULES WHEN BERNIE MALONE WAS ALIVE, YOU ALL COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED HIM SIGNED IN 29 GAME OVER, WE GAVE ALMOST $100,000 AWAY IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS. I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, SIR. YOU'RE VERY WELCOME. WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM? WHAT WAS THAT WAY HAD $100,000. FOR XMAS CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, 10 5. I'M 75,000 FOR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS 5000 FOR ELECTRIC 10,000 ALMOST LAST YEAR ALONE, JUST FOR THE WEEKLY RATE 60,000 FOR THE VETERANS OF MEDICINE, 3 TO 4000 AND UNDERWRITING THAT WE GAVE TO ROCK AND RIVER WALK. BY THE WAY, I ALSO TOOK CARE OF THE TRAFFIC. THAT ROCK AND RIVERWALK WHEN NOBODY WAS THERE. THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU'RE MAKING IT OUT TO BE. WE'RE A LITTLE GREEN MARKET. YOU WANT MORE TRANSPARENCY? THE BEST THING THAT YOU CAN DO, IN MY OPINION IS LET US DO US. OUR JOB WILL DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT US TO DO. IF YOU WANT TO RUIN THE LIVES OF 60, INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE, THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE A LIFE FOR THEMSELVES DURING COVERT 19. MY GUEST. I WANT TO SAY THANK HEAVENS ATTITUDE I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. WE DO THAT THE NEWS IS THIS IS THIS IS ACTUALLY NOT THAT THIS'LL JUST A DISCUSSION OF DELIBERATION.
MAY I SAY A FEW THINGS I HAVEN'T SPOKEN YET. NEITHER HAVE I, MR METHODS, BUT I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A CHANCE BEFORE ME. I APPRECIATE THAT. WE DO NEED TO REMEMBER THAT MR OSBORNE HAS PAID THROUGH THE YEAR FOR OUR AGREEMENT. ITEM G AND OUR AGREEMENT ALSO STATES THAT WERE TOO ANNUALLY REVIEW. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE AGREEMENT. AND IN MY MIND, THAT WOULD MEAN FINANCES. IN ALL TRANSPARENCY WHEN I DID RUN MY REELECTION CAMPAIGN. I DID HAVE A BOOTH. TWO WEEKENDS AT THE GREEN MARKET, AND THAT'S WHERE MY FIRST. FACE TO FACE MEETING WITH MR OSBORN WAS AND ALL TRANSPARENCY OFFERED TO WAIVE THE FEES. STATED NO. AND I DEMANDED THAT I WOULD PAY THE FEES AS EVERYONE ELSE WOULD. I'M NOT A NONPROFIT WHEN I WAS RUNNING MY CAMPAIGN. I EXPECT ANY OTHER ELECTED OFFICIAL WOULD DO THE SAME. FURTHER TRANSPARENCY. I'M ON THE BOARD OF THE INDIAN RIVER KEEPERS. THEY ARE NONPROFIT. DO EXPECT, AND I DO SEE THEIR FINANCIALS. I DO HOLD REGULAR MEETINGS. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE. HAD A BOOTH AT THE GREENMARKET HAD THEIR FEES. WAIT. WHEN I RAN TO BE A SHORT CITY COMMISSION, I SPENT NEARLY TWO YEARS COMING TO EVERY MEETING DOING MY RESEARCH. CAUSE I DON'T LIKE TO WALK INTO A JOB. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I EXPECT I GET VOTED OUT OF OFFICE. AFTER THREE YEARS OF BEING ON THE JOB. I'VE DONE A POOR ONE. NOT SAYING MR OSBORNE HAS DONE A POOR JOB OF RUNNING THE GREEN MARKET, BUT I THINK ALL OF US SITTING UP HERE. NONE OF WHOM ARE ACCOUNTANTS. SEE A POOR JOB IN THE TRANSPARENCY OF THE FINANCIALS. AND, FRANKLY,
[01:55:01]
LEARNING ON THE JOB DOES NOT WORK FOR THE CITY OF STUART. WE DON'T ALLOW THAT OF DEVELOPERS.STEVE NICOLOSI WOULDN'T ALLOW THAT. THE BUILDING WAS GOING TO PUT SOMEONE AT RISK. I'D LEAN ON OUR CITY ATTORNEY TO NOT ALLOW THAT. THE CITY IS LIABLE. INCORRECT FINANCES OR SOMEONE THAT WE'RE PARTNERING WITH. WHAT BRINGS US HERE TODAY IS IN MY MIND. THANK COMMISSIONER BREWING FOR BRINGING IT UP. AT THE ANNUAL REVIEW. VOTED FOR THIS. ALL OF US DID EXCEPT FOR COMMISSIONER MACDONALD IN 2019. BUT. WE SHOULD REVIEW IT JUST AS WE SHOULD REVIEW EVERY OTHER AGREEMENT. THE CITY HAD WE SHOULD DEMAND TRANSPARENCY. AND FRANKLY, WE CANNOT ACCEPT LEARNING ON THE JOB. NOT WHEN IT'S TAXPAYER'S MONEY, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE UP HERE. TO DO AND OVERSEE. IS THAT A COMMISSIONER OF VICE MAYOR AT THIS POINT YET? OKAY I MAKE A COMMENT BEFORE COMMISSIONER MIND MAKES A COMMENT. SO, UM, THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER BRUNO FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND THANK YOU. SIR, FOR COMING TO US. I WAS HOPING THAT THIS PAT BRADLEY PERSON WOULD COME TO US. OKAY. MR BRADLEY'S HERE. OKAY OKAY. FINE THANK YOU. I RECOGNIZE YOU. THANK YOU. SO THE ORGANIZATION EYES IN YOUR NAME? AND THIS ORGANIZATION HAS CERTAIN THINGS THAT GOES WITH IT. I'M SURE THAT YOU HAVE A LAWYER AND YOU HAVEN'T BUT, UM.
ANA CONTENT, SO I HOPE THAT THEY HAVE TOLD YOU WHAT THE RULES ARE WITH REGARD TO RUNNING OFF WHETHER IT'S A FLORIDA FOR PROFIT OR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION. THEY ALL HAVE RULES. AND THEY ALL HAVE REQUIREMENTS TO PUT IN EVERY YEAR AND ANNUAL REPORTS AND WE INCLUDE IN OUR AGREEMENT. I THINK PART FIVE AND A LITTLE OF THE PORT FIVE. THERE'S A THROUGH H R SOUL. ALL THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE. AND THE IDEA THAT WHETHER IT WAS 17 YEARS AGO OR THREE YEARS AGO. WITH BERNIE. I MEAN, FRANKLY, NONE OF THAT MATTERS TO ME WHAT IT MATTERS TO ME THAT THE CITY HAS AN AGREEMENT WITH. RELIABLE ORGANIZATION THAT'S DOING THEIR PART OF THE BUSINESS TAKING CARE OF THEIR PART OF THE BUSINESS. AND, UM DOING WHAT THEY SAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO FOR US IN THE IN THE AGREEMENT, THAT'S ALL WE NEED. SO IF YOU'LL HAVE PROBLEMS ON MR BRADLEY WITH THE WAY THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION IS WRONG ARE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO AS, UM AS A GREEN MARKETS. YOU'RE GREEN MARKET IN. THAT'S SOMETHING BETWEEN YOU AND THE FLORIDA. UM. SUNBIZ PEOPLE AND EVERY OTHER IN THE I. R. S AND I ARRESTED ANY OTHER ANY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. THOSE AIR YOUR THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF. BUT IN ORDER TO DO BUSINESS WITH US. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE TAKING CARE OF YOUR PART OF THE BUSINESS, SO THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE ONLY THING COMING TO SAY THAT WE'RE JUST A LITTLE ORGANIZATION. OR WE ONLY DO LITTLE THINGS. THAT'S FINE. THE LITTLE THINGS THAT WE ASK YOU TO DO KEEP THE PLACE CLEAN. DO THE GARBAGE CANS COORDINATE WITH OTHER PEOPLE? GET YOUR VENDORS? ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
THEY'RE THERE, BUT THEY'RE PART OF. UM THE BIG SUBSET OF YOU KEEPING YOUR BUSINESS AS THE STUART GREEN MARKET AND THE THINGS THAT YOU DO SO ALL WE NEED TO DO IS TO WHEN YOU DO YOUR ANNUAL REPORT TO THE STATE OR WHEN YOU DO YOUR REPORT TO THE I R S OR WHATEVER IT IS, WE JUST NEED TO HAVE COPIES OF THOSE. WE JUST NEED TO DO WHAT? YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND HAVE THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE A FLAT THING. WE HAVE THIS $2000. THAT'S A FLAT THING. WE'RE NOT BOTHERING YOU IN ANY OTHER ASPECT. WE JUST NEED TO HAVE THE COP IS BASED ON WHAT WE SAY IN OUR LICENSE AGREEMENT. WHAT WE WANT YOU TO GIVE US AND THEN WHAT WE WANT YOU TO DO EACH WEEK AS YOU COORDINATE WITH THE OTHER VENDORS. I THINK IT'S A VERY SIMPLE ARRANGEMENT. WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE DOING YOUR PART OF IT. AND IF WE UP HERE ARE NOT HAPPY THAT YOU'RE DOING YOUR PART OF IT. EITHER. OUR STAFF IS NOT COORDINATED WITH YOU ALL THESE YEARS AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY OVER THESE YEARS RULES AREN'T CRYSTAL CLEAR TO EVERYBODY HOW WE'RE OPERATING. ON GWEN. WE SIGN AGREEMENTS. WE SIGNED THEM FOR REASON. AND THEY ALL THE LITTLE PARAGRAPHS MEAN SOMETHING. AND SOMEBODY NEEDS TO KEEP TRACK OF THOSE THINGS AND. I DON'T KNOW. BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. SO, MR MAYER THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR.
UM SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE WHERE WE'RE KIND OF FOCUSING ALSO ON THE IMPORTANT POINT THAT YOU
[02:00:02]
KNOW. WHAT DO WE WANT THIS MARKET TO BE? I MEAN, YES, RIGHT NOW. THE STORE GREENMARKET IS HAS BEEN AN ORGANIZATION. DOING THIS FOR THE LAST 17 YEARS. IT IS A LITTLE MARKET. WE ARE LITTLE CITY OF STUART. BUT ALSO THIS IS SOMETHING. THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP. THIS IS A LICENSE AGREEMENT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE ALSO INVESTED IN THAT I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GIVING A DECENT RATE. WE WANT THIS TO THRIVE AND SUCCEED TO BENEFIT THE CITY. SO I YOU KNOW, I THINK I WANNA I WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE FOCUSED ON WHAT ARE OUR VISIONS? FOR WHAT THIS OUGHT TO BE? I MEAN, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A THRIVING GREENMARKET WITH MORE VENDORS, MORE VARIETY, BETTER MARKETING. AND YOU KNOW TO ME IT DOESN'T MATTER IF STUART GREENMARKET INC. CAN SIX. THEIR PROBLEMS WITH REPORTING AND GET IT TOGETHER. IF THEY'RE THE ONES THAT DO IT, OR A PRIVATE ORGANIZATION OR IF WE HAD THE FUNDS AND THE DEPARTMENT TO DO IT THAT DOES. IT'S NOT THE CRITICAL THING TO ME. I JUST WANT TO SEE A SUCCESSFUL MARKET THAT DRAWS A LOT OF PEOPLE DOWNTOWN. THAT IS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REALLY BE PROUD OF THAT RIVALS FOR APPEARS THAT RIVALS WEST PALM BEACH, SO I THINK WE SHOULD KEEP THAT IN MIND. HOLD ON, HOLD ON AND LET GO. WON'T FINISH MR MAYER, AND THEN I'LL LET MS BROLIN THEN MR MADISON. AND I THINK YOU KNOW, WE ALSO WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE WANT TO TACKLE THIS JUST TO BE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, THE A WALK UP HERE. WE NEED TO START. WE NEED TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT THIS REPORTING.CONSISTENCY AND, YOU KNOW TAX PROBLEM. DOES THIS TO US CONSTITUTE, YOU KNOW A MATERIAL BREACH OF CONTRACT. DO WE NEED TO GET OUT OF THIS CONTRACT? THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT. OR DO WE JUST LET IT EXPIRE FOR REED? NEGOTIATE OR DO WE PUT IT UP FOR OUR FEE? OR DO WE TALK ABOUT ANOTHER ORGANIZATION WE HAVE TO? WE HAVE TO START TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE WHAT STEPS WE WANT TO TAKE. AND IN THAT PROCESS WE NEED TO REMEMBER, YOU KNOW. MR OSBORNE BROUGHT UP A VERY IMPORTANT POINT. I DON'T WANT AS A FORMER VENDOR THERE, AND I KNOW THERE ARE SOME VENDORS HERE. I DON'T WANT THEM TO GET LOST IN THE CROSSFIRE. IF WE DECIDE TO PULL THE PLUG, WHICH I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE IN FAVOR OF RIGHT NOW. DON'T WANT THAT. THOSE VENDORS THAT COUNT ON THAT TOO. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT THE ONES THAT DIDN'T FILE PROPERLY WITH THE IRAS, KNOWINGLY OR NOT. THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO DO THEY'RE THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE THEIR MONEY. I DON'T WANT THEM TO GET STUCK WHILE WE FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO SO. LET'S KEEP THEM IN MIND. THANK YOU COMING. SURE, BRUNER. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY THOSE TENANTS COULD BE STUCK. I MEAN, IF HE'S GOT 60 DAYS OR WHATEVER. SHOULDN'T BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO TALK TO THE PEOPLE. IT WOULD CONTINUE TO GROW BECAUSE I BELIEVE WHAT YOU THINK. THAT IT WILL GROW AND BE SOMETHING GREAT. IT'S A STALEMATE.
THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON. IT'S JUST IT'S JUST THEY'RE HAPPENING, AND I'M VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS. WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THERE'S INSURANCE. IT'S JUST SO MUCH THAT. AND ANOTHER THING. UH YOU KNOW, WE WENT THROUGH THIS. WITH UM PELICAN CAFE. LORD, I THINK THIS IS. THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH HERE THAT THIS IS THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THIS IS IN EVERY IT'S BAD IN EVERY WAY, AND I WON'T BE A PART OF IT. BUT I WILL BE A PART OF A GREEN MARKET GOING FURTHER WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S HANDS. AND THAT WANTS IT LEAD AND BE WHAT WE ARE IN STUART, FLORIDA. HOW BEAUTIFUL AND GREAT WE ARE. THAT AMERICA ASKED THE COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER MATHESON, PLEASE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MR MATHESON. COME COMMISSIONER MARK. MR. BROOM FELLOW COMMISSIONERS TO YOUR TO YOUR POINT. I CERTAINLY DO SEE A LOT OF POTENTIAL. WITH A GREEN MARKET AND I 100% AGREE. THAT WE DO NEED TO THINK ABOUT THE CURRENT VENDORS. THERE. THERE. AND THEIR JOBS. AND AS I ALREADY STRESSED BEFORE HAS PAID FOR THE YEAR. AND WE DO NEED TO DECIDE IF HOW WE WANT TO PROCEED. MOVING FORWARD. IN MY MIND, WE HAVE TO DECIDE. ONE LARGE THING IS WHERE DO WE WANT THE PERMANENT LOCATION? THE GREEN MARKET IF WE ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD AND. TWO WE NEED TO COME UP WITH A CONSENSUS OF. WE WOULD WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. IF WE DO ARE WE OPEN? TOE OVERLOOKING THIS AND HAVING SOME MAJOR LEARNING BE DONE RIGHT ON THE JOB, OR WOULD WE LIKE TOE? START FROM SCRATCH SAY WITH AN RFP THAT GOES OUT AND MR OSBORNE COULD SUBMIT.
[02:05:04]
ANY OTHER AGENCIES COULDN'T WE COULD PUT OUT PUBLICLY ON WAY THOSE OPTIONS AS THEY COME. UM SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE AND SINCE I'VE BEEN COMING TO MEETINGS AS A RESIDENT, I'VE HEARD ABOUT ISSUES WITH THE STORE GREENMARKET. SO WHAT'S TRY AND FOCUS ON HOW WE'RE GONNA MOVE FORWARD. WE'VE BEEN ALLOWING THIS ONLY $2000 A YEAR. WE DID, BUT WE DID SIGN AN AGREEMENT TO GO TILL TILL I BELIEVE IT'S JULY 1ST. OKAY. AND WE CAN WE CAN, UH, TO SAY WE CAN'T BREAK IT. WE'RE NOT BREAKING IT. THEY'RE BREAKING IT. NO, BUT WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE VENDORS.MADAME MAYOR. THANK YOU. MR MEYER AND THEN CITY MANAGER IF YOU WANT TO REVEAL THE CITY MANAGER COMMISSION BUYER I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. OKAY JUST TO THROW OUT SOME OPTIONS TO YOU GUYS SO THAT WE CAN GET TO THE TO THE END OF IT. UM THERE'S A FEW WAYS WE CAN GO.
YOU GUYS CAN INSTRUCT ME TO LEAVE IT AS IS AND CONTINUE TO TRY TO WORK WITH GREEN MARKET TO RESOLVE WHATEVER ISSUES YOU FEEL, ARE THERE ANOTHER OPTION IS THAT YOU CAN WAIT TILL THE JULY 1ST AND DECIDED NOT TO RENEW IT. AND DURING THE TIME PERIOD BETWEEN NOW AND THEN GIVE ME INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PROCEED. WHETHER THAT'S AN R P OR INCLUDING NON PROFITS AND FOUR PROFITS ARE ONLY NON PROFITS OR WHATEVER THAT IS, WE WOULD HAVE TOLD JULY 1ST.
ACCOMPLISH THAT, OR YOU COULD BRING DIRECT ME TO BRING BACK AN AGENDA ITEM. AZIZ MR MARTEL, IT POINTED OUT BECAUSE THIS WASN'T IN. AH NOTICED ITEM FOR MOTION AGENDA ITEM FOR 60 DAY TERMINATION, WHICH IS ALLOWED BY THE CONTRACT. IF I CONTINUE ON THAT, TOO, AS FAR AS FOLLOWING UP ON THE VICE MAYOR'S COMMENTS ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE GREENMARKET, IF YOU WERE TO CONSIDER A. A AN RFP PROCESS. BE MINDFUL THAT WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT, UM, THE USE OF. PARK AS IT RELATES TO THE FURTIVE GRANT AND HOW WE WOULD USE IT BECAUSE IT'S ONLY ONE DAY A WEEK. I THINK THAT WE COULD PARTNERSHIP WITH THROUGH THE DP AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S JUST A GREEN MARKET IN THE TYPE OF PROGRAMMING. WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE WE PUT THAT IN THE RFP TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR THAT IT'S NOT A PRIVATE LEASE OF THE PARK FOR FOOD EXCLUSIVE USER AND AMIR. PERMISSION. MACDONALD SO. SEEMS TO BE AFTER LISTEN. EVERYBODY'S COMMENTS AND I THINK THAT WE'RE ALL AND KINDA HEADING IN THE DIRECTION. WE'RE JUST COMING FROM DIFFERENT PLACES. BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THERE'S REALLY TWO QUESTIONS THAT WE NEED TO ANSWER. UM THE FIRST QUESTION. IS THE FIRST QUESTION IS. WHERE WHERE DO WE STAND WITH THE CURRENT VENDOR? AND HOW WE WANT TO PROCEED EITHER WITHIN OUR FEE WITH ANOTHER VENDOR WITH THE SAME VENDOR HER HER AND THEN ONCE WE GET THAT RESOLVED, THEN I THINK, 22. I THINK BOTH COMMISSIONER MYRON COMMISSIONER MATHESON'S POINT. UM IS. WHAT IS THE, UH, FUTURE OF THE GREENMARKET? WHAT IS THE DIRECTION? WHAT IS THE VISION FOR THE DREAM DRINK CREAM MARKET. AND ABSOLUTELY I THINK THAT AT THE LICENSE AGREEMENT GOES THROUGH JULY, I BELIEVE IT SAYS WE, YOU KNOW, SO WE NEED TO MAKE PEACE DECISIONS. WITH ENOUGH TIME TO, UH TO WHEREVER WE GO, SO WE DON'T LIKE AS YOU SAID, BUT PUT HER TO THE VENDORS. SO I WOULD SUGGEST I WILL MAKE A MOTION IF I THINK THAT AFTER I PUT THIS OUT THERE, MAYBE I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO SEE WHAT KIND OF A LITTLE THROUGH A BLUE AND SEE IF IT'S MADE OF BETTER HELIUM. DAD BUT I THINK THAT MAYBE WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS WE ALL NEED TO TAKE IN WHAT WE'VE HEARD TONIGHT. HAVE A TALK WITH MR DICE. AND HAVE HEY CONDEMNED. BRING BACK A AGENDA ITEM AND TWO OR FOUR WEEKS. MAYBE THE SECOND MEETING IN MARCH. FOR US TO ACTUALLY MAKE.
THE DECISION AS TO WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH OUR CURRENT VENDOR. AND THEN ONCE WE DETERMINED THAT THEN WE CAN COME BACK ON ANOTHER NIGHT AND WORK ON THE VISION. IF THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THAT I'M NOT SEEING ANY PEOPLE GOING. OH, NO. SO I'M GONNA MAKE THAT EMOTION THAT WE BRING THAT BACK AND A MONTH. YOU THINK YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIME IN A MONTH? YEAH BUT SO WHAT? I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU'RE SAYING IS TO DO THE 60 DAY TERMINATION CLAUSE BECAUSE WE'LL DECIDE IF WE'RE GOING TO AT THAT POINT THE DECK OF THIS TIME. YEAH. YEAH I COULD BRING IT BACK NEXT TIME NEXT COMMISSION MEETING. I MEAN, IT'S NOTHING FOR US TO DISCUSS.
IT'S YOUR DECISION, AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. BUT IT DOES THAT. GIVE US TIME THAT IF WE SO THIS WAY WE CAN TAKE IN WHAT WE LEARNED TONIGHT. COME BACK. HAVE A DISCUSSION. DECIDE IF WE'RE GOING TO TERMINATE OR IF WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE AND THEN ONCE WE DECIDE THAT, THEN
[02:10:07]
WE CAN COME BACK AT A LATER DATE AND FIGURE OUT THE VISION. I. MY THOUGHTS ON THAT ARE WE COULD GIVE A LITTLE MORE DIRECTION. I MEAN, LIKE THE R P PROCESS, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE MR OSBORN TO APPLY. IF WE LOOKED AT THIS, LIKE COMING IN JULY OVER THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO. WE ASKED AFTER PUT OUT AN R P, AND THAT WAS OUR INTENTION RIGHT NOW. AMY TRANSPARENCY, SO THAT'S WHAT I THINK WE EITHER WAY. WOULD YOU LIKE ANOTHER MEETING? THEY WOULD APPLY FOR THE R P AND OTHERS WOULD, AND THEN WE COULD. YEAH I AGREE WITH THAT. I'M JUST SAYING FOR MY TIMING FOR YOU, BUT WE NEED TO MOVE IT TO A MEETING TO HAVE THAT. AGENDA ITEM TO DECIDE IF WE WANT TO TERMINATE. WHICH WOULD BE I WAS SAYING IN TWO MINUTES, BUT WE COULD DO IT AT THE NEXT MEETING. WHAT IS IN OUR F? SHE QUESTION REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PUSHING TERMINATION IT WOULD BE AFTER I DON'T HAVE TO RENEW THAT. WHAT I THINK TERMINATE FIXED, OKAY, THE WORD I SHOULD BE USING HIS. YEAH. WHEN YOU SAID ACTIVATE THEIR 60 DAY TERMINATION CLAUSE. THAT'S WHAT THREW ME OFF. OKAY? YEAH, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE END OF THE AGREEMENT, WHETHER WE RENEW OR EXACTLY OR SO BY MY MISTAKE FOR MY BACK OF WAY ALL OUR AGREEMENT. WE NEED CLARITY WITH A NEW AGREEMENT ON HOW THE FINANCIALS ARE REPORTED OUR VISION OF THE GREENMARKET WHAT WE WANT GOING FORWARD P. THERAPY AND ALL THAT. AND I THINK THAT WE NEED TO DO THAT.LIKE I SAID, WE SHOULD BRING IT BACK AT THE SAY, SAY, BRINGING BACK AT THE NEXT MEETING TO DECIDE. IF WE'RE GONNA DO THE R P, WHICH I'M IN FAVOR OF THAT AT THIS POINT. BUT WE NEED TO BRING IT BACK AS AN AGENDA. I DON'T KNOW DND THAT WE'RE HERE, THOUGH. OKAY, MR, BEFORE YOU RE FINALIZE YOUR PROPOSED MOTION. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION FOR MR OSBORN? NO. I MET HIM THERE. I AM QUESTION. WHAT SORT OF TIME FRAME WOULD MEAN AN RFP REALISTICALLY TAKE LET'S SAY.
UH SO WE COULD DO AN RFP BASED UPON THE CURRENT USE IN THE CURRENT THING AND HAVE IT LITERALLY. ADVERTISED FOR TWO WEEKS OR 30 DAYS, OR YOU COULD HAVE IT NATIONALLY ADVERTISED AND SPEND A YEAR. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A MEANS TO AN END THERE, BUT THE PROBLEM RIGHT NOW IS, I SEE IT IS WRITING THEIR P IF WE PUT OUT THE RFP THAT THE CURRENT GREENMARKETS OPERATE UNDER IT WOULD BE IN THIS PARKING LOT OUT HERE. NOT IN FLAGLER PARK ON SATURDAYS FROM NINE TO NOON AND THEN FROM 1 TO 4 TO SHARE SPACE WITH ROCK AND RIVERWALK BECAUSE. THAT'S TECHNICALLY THE PRE COVAD THING. SO THE COMMISSION PROBABLY NEEDS TO GIVE STAFF DIRECTION ON WHAT IT WANTS. DOESN'T WANT IT TO BE A FLAG WITH PARK DOESN'T WANT TO BE IN MEMORIAL PARK DOESN'T WANT TO BE IN THE PARKING LOT, BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF HARD. YOU ASKED FOR BIDS AND LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, FLAG WITH PARK, YOU COULD PROBABLY DO 100 VENDORS.
WHERE IS DOWN? YOU KNOW IN THE PARKING LOT RIGHT OUT HERE. KEVIN COULD PROBABLY TELL YOU THERE'S A MAXIMUM NUMBER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ONE TIME THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT THAT PARKING PLACE. I'M RIGHT. I WAS DOWN HERE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS, WITH FAMILY COMING IN AND OUT.
AND IT WAS JUST BOOMING. JUST THIS IS JUST THE GREATEST PLACE AND SATURDAY AND SUNDAY SO MANY PEOPLE, UH AND IT'S AND MAURA. YOU KNOW, THERE'S GONNA BE SOMEBODY PEOPLE ALL WANT EVERYONE TO MARRY. I THINK I PREFER THAT WE STICK WITH THE PARK. I THINK IT'S THE IDEAL LOCATION FOR BOROUGH MARKET. BLACK PARK, OKAY? LET ME SAY THIS. I THINK THAT MR. RELIES TRYING MR MCDONALD'S TRYING TO FORMULATE EMOTION. I'M GOING TO GO OUT OF TURN RIGHT NOW. I'M GONNA ASK. IF MR BRADLEY, WHO'S THE OWNER OF THE STUART MARKET INC. IF YOU'D LIKE TO ADDRESS OUR CITY COMMISSION ON ANY MATTER OR JUST TO SAY HELLO TO US. I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK, SIR. IF IT'S A POINT OF CLARIFICATION, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. THIS IS ACTUALLY A SOCIAL NON FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATION RUN BY A BOARD. I THINK KEVIN INTRODUCED HIMSELF IS THE MANAGING MEMBER. I'M NOT TRIBUTE, THE MANAGER OF THE ENERGY MEMBER BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW, BUT I THINK THE BRADLEY I THINK THAT IT'S ACTUALLY ONLY BE BEFORE. SHOULD WE HAVE PUBLISHED THE BRADLEY? DO YOU NO, WE'RE NOT. A PRE HASN'T FORMULATED THIS THING.
I'M BREAKING THROUGH. I'M ASKING MR BROTHER TO SPEAK IF HE WANTS TO. WHAT'S HE DOING? PRESSING HIS HEARING AID. THEY JUST GOT WAY WILL LISTEN TO YOU. YOU TALK. COMING RIGHT UP, SIR. WITH US IT WITH HIS ROLE IS TO SEE THAT YES. CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME AND YOUR

WHICH LOCATION THE GREENMARKET WOULD BE OCCURRING AT IN THE FUTURE.
WE GIVE. LOOK, CAN WE GIVE DIRECTION THAT THE GREENMARKET WOULD BE STRICTLY AT THE CULTURAL CENTER. I MEAN, THE FLAGLER PARK PLUG IN A PARK. I. HAVEN'T DONE ENOUGH RESEARCH ON THAT, TOO. FOR ME TO HAVE A EDUCATED OPINION ON WHICH LOCATION I TRUST THAT, I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND. COMMISSIONER MYERS IS THAT, BUT I'VE ALSO MUSCLE LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE REGARDING PARKING WHEN, WHEN HUDSON'S OPENS UP DOWN THERE.
SO S SO I THINK S SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING I'D LOVE THIS EAST THERE, INVESTIGATE AND MAKE THAT PART OF THEIR PRESENTATION. AND WOULD WE WOULD WE CHOOSE THE ONE AND IF FLEET TO IN OUR A P WE CAN DECIDE AT THAT POINT BASED ON THEIR PRESENTATION AND ALL OF US EDUCATING OURSELVES ON THAT, SO YOUR MOTION IS FOR THEM TO CONTEMPLATE BOTH OPTION? YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. DID THE MANAGER YOU CLEAR CITY ATTORNEY ARE YOU CLEAR ON OUR
[02:25:03]
DIRECTION AND THE MOTION? DON'T NEED TO BE, BUT I THINK THERE'S LONG AS THE CITY MANAGER IS.I'VE GOT TO GO. YOU KNOW HE'S GOING TO COME ASK YOUR QUESTION. I AGREE WITH YOU. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING MY BACK. YEAH, THAT'S GONNA MAKE SURE HE IS. OKAY SO WE HAVE EMOTIONAL. WE HAVE A SECOND. ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHETHER IN THIS ROOM TONIGHT OR ON JUNE WHO HAVE QUESTIONED WITH REGARD TO OUR DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION AND ARE NOW MOTION ON THE STUART GREEN ISSUE. HELAMAN MISS ALLEN MCBRIDE, FLAMINGO AMBULANCE STORY. THANKS FOR BRINGING THIS UP BEFORE. REMEMBER BACK MY KNIFE IMAGINED I WAS CONCERNED. I'M CONCERNED WHEN OUR CITY ATTORNEY WAS SAYING ABOUT THE I R S. NO AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME I WAS DOWN. AND I WAS LOOKING AT ENOUGH AND TOURIST WAS BUYING ENOUGH AND SHE SAID, WHAT YOURSELF SEX AND THE PERSON THE BENDER. SAID. OH, THERE'S NO SALES TAX SOME NOT TOO SURE, MIKE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO SEE. US YOU WOULD BE MOST MY MONEY AND BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU ALL IN COURT, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO PAY AN ATTORNEY, BUT I THINK YOU'RE MAKING A GREAT MOVE HERE. I DON'T WANT TO SEE THE MARKET GOING. I THINK I WANT TO SEE IT BETTER RUN BECAUSE AGAIN THIS I WAS GONNA MENTION THEM IN THE OPEN, AND I DIDN'T BUT I THE HECK WITH IT. SANDY AND MY LITTLE TOUR DOWNTOWN. IT WAS 3 33 25. VENDORS WERE STILL AT FLAGLER IN THE SIGN. THAT WAS IT WAS 9 TO 1 AND THEY CHANGED IT. 9 TO 2. SO YOU KNOW THAT IF WE DO WHATEVER YOU DO GET A BETTER CONTRACT. WHEN THE TOUGHER ALTHOUGH YOU KNOW WE'RE GETTING TOO BIG FOR OUR EXPENSIVE AND I AM COMMISSIONER BRUNER. IT'S WONDERFUL TO COME DOWNTOWN AND BE ABLE TO PARK AND GO TO A RESTAURANT. BECAUSE WE HAVE THE PARKING. HIP IN YOU AND I LOVE MEMORIAL PARK IS THERE'S A LOT OF MORE PARKING AT MEMORIAL PARK BECAUSE IT'S A NEW CITY HALL FOR THAT BIG PARKING LIKE AT THE ART FESTIVAL THIS SUNDAY. THAT'S THAT'S MY TWO CENTS THANK YOU. VERY GOOD IDEA. ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS? MR K GOES DIAGNOSE MATTER, DR. STUART I HAVE A COUPLE OF CONCERNS. ONE AS I UNDERSTAND IT NOW WAIT FOR PERPETUAL LICENSE. WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT AS A PERPETUAL LICENSE, OR WE'RE GONNA HAVE IT IS MANUAL LICENSE. THAT'S SOMETHING I THINK THAT THE BOARD SHOULD CONSIDER. SECONDLY I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE OF THE GREEN MARKET'S GONNA BE. I'VE GIVEN A LOT OF THOUGHT, AND I'M NOT REALLY HAPPY WITH THE WAY WE CAME. MARKETS CURRENTLY RUN PARTIALLY BECAUSE AS I'VE EXPRESSED TO SOME OF THE SOME OF THE COMMISSIONERS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. ONE FARM ONLY ONE I KNOW OF AT THE GREEN MARKET. AND THE GREEN MARKET. IT'S REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE GREEN. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE OTHER VEGETABLE OR. FOOD RELATED ITEMS THERE THAT WAY, CERTAINLY JUST DON'T HAVE IT THIS PARTICULAR POINT TIME AND I THINK THERE'S A GREAT DEAL OF ROOM FOR THE GREEN MARK TO GROW. AND 42 VENDORS. I THINK IT'S WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY HAVING A LET MY LAST COUNT. AND WE DON'T KNOW IF THOSE VENDORS GONNA CONTINUE TO BE THERE OR NOT. I THINK A GREAT ROOM FOR GROWTH WITH GREEN MARKET. ASAI EXPLAIN TO SOMEBODY. MY WIFE WHO LOVES GREENMARKETS DOESN'T EVEN GO THERE ANYMORE. SHE DRIVES ALL THE WAY DOWN THE WEST PALM TO PALM BEACH GARDENS BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MUCH MORE GOING ON THERE THAN WE DO HERE IN OUR LITTLE GREEN MARKET. WE COULD BE BETTER THAN WE ARE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR GIGGLES. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM ANYONE ELSE. I KNOW THAT WE HEARD FROM THE. YOU'RE A GREAT MARKET FOLKS EARLIER ON IT AND IF THEY STILL HAVE ANY COMMENTS CITY CLERK. WELL, I'M AN AMERICAN. I JUST MAKE A QUICK STATEMENT. UM. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT. I MEAN, BERNIE MALONE WAS TALKED A LOT ABOUT TONIGHT. THE WAY HE RAN THIS ORGANIZATION IN THE PAST, AND I KNOW THAT HE IS NO LONGER WITH US. BUT I I'M I DON'T WANT TO ATTACK ANY INDIVIDUAL PERSON AND I DON'T WANT TO GET ANYBODY IN TROUBLE UNNECESSARILY, HOWEVER. I ALSO DON'T WANT I MEAN, I WANT SOME ACCOUNTABILITY HERE. AND SO LIKE I WANT THAT IN THE RECORD, BUT IF WE HAVE BEEN POTENTIALLY DEFRAUDED OVER THE LAST 17 YEARS. I THINK WE JUST YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T JUST LET THAT GO. I MEAN, WE NEED TO LEARN A LESSON HERE. I THINK MAYBE WE ARE BUT YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS THERE'S SOME ACCOUNTABILITY IN THIS BECAUSE THIS IS IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT. WHETHER IT WAS DONE PURPOSEFULLY OR NOT. SO THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO SAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND FOR THOSE WHO MAY

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I APPRECIATE THOSE WHO MAINTAINED OUR CIVILITY ACCORDING TO OUR RECORDS AND OUR RULES AND GUIDELINES.
