CITY WELLNESS PROGRAM UPDATE AND AWARDS
]ANOTHER ONLY SPOTLIGHT AND EMPLOYEES, BUT WE'RE JUST SPOTLIGHTING OR ENTIRE PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT. BECAUSE. YOU GET TO SEE WHAT OUR PERSONAL DEPARTMENT DOES, AND.
HOW THEY CARRY ON AND HOW THEY GET TO KEEP OUR EMPLOYEES BA 20 YEARS AND HOW THEY GET TO KEEP AN OUTDOORS PERSONALLY CODY HAPPY EVEN WHEN HE'S INSIDE OF A BUILDING. SO ROSS JOHNSON WILL TALK TO US ABOUT UM, WELLNESS PROGRAM. AND UM, THAT'S IT. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL OF OUR, UM, PRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE CITY WELLNESS PROGRAM, THE UPDATE AND THE AWARD AND THAT WILL BE. ROSS JOHNSON. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
[00:40:06]
MADAM MAYOR, VICE MAYOR COMMISSIONERS FOR THE RECORD. ROSS JOHNSON, HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR. PLEASED TO JOIN YOU THIS AFTERNOON TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE CITY'S WELLNESS INITIATIVE, KNOWN AS THE WILD PROGRAM. THE WILD PROGRAM KICKED OFF IN 2000 AND 12 WHICH MEANS THAT IN JUST A FEW MONTHS WE'RE GOING TO CELEBRATE 10. YEARS OF WORKPLACE WELLNESS.UM, TERRIFIC ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE CITY. THE IMPETUS OF THE WILD PROGRAM WAS SIMPLE, REALLY, AND IT'S PART OF WHAT WE CALL THE THREE LEGGED STOOL OF WELLNESS. THE FIRST LEG IS THE CITY'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM, ADMINISTERED THROUGH CIGNA. THE SECOND LEG. ALSO INITIATED IN 2012 IS THE CITY'S EMPLOYEE HEALTH CENTER. THE HEALTH CENTER PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE AND PRESCRIPTIONS TO COVERED EMPLOYEES AND THEIR DEPENDENTS AT NO COST. THE CENTRE EMPHASIZES NOT ONLY PREVENTIVE CARE, BUT THEY ALSO PARTNER WITH EMPLOYEES AND PROMOTING OVERALL WELL BEING. THE THIRD LEG OF THE STOOL IS OUR WORKPLACE WELLNESS PROGRAM.
THE CITY'S HEALTH INSURANCE, THE EMPLOYEE HEALTH CENTER AND A WELLNESS PROGRAM ARE INTERTWINED TO ENCOURAGE OPTIMAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING EFFECTIVELY REDUCING CLAIMS WITH SIGNAL. FEWER CLAIMS EQUATES TO SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM, AND IT ALSO REQUIRES TO A HEALTHY AND VIBRANT WORKFORCE. ALSO IN 2012. WE HAD AN EMPLOYEE CONTEST TO NAME OUR NEW WELLNESS PROGRAM, AND THE WINNING ENTRY CAME FROM OUR RETIRED CITY CLERK, SHERRIE WHITE. SHE PROSECUTED WORKING ON WELLNESS OR WOW, AND THE COMMITTEE LOVED IT AND ROLLED WITH IT. OUR WELLNESS INITIATIVES ARE FUNDED ENTIRELY BY CIGNA, NOT OUR GENERAL FUND. EACH YEAR. CIGNA PROVIDES US WITH A SUM OF MONEY TO SUPPORT OUR PROGRAMMING, AND THAT WAS ORIGINALLY SET AT $20,000 WHEN WE FIRST KICKED OFF. GIVEN THE EXPANSION OF THE WELL PROGRAM THROUGH THE YEARS, THE BUDGET CURRENTLY STANDS AT $41,000.
THE BUDGET IS MANAGED BY OUR REPRESENTATIVE AT SIGNAL. OUR WELLNESS REPRESENTATIVE AT THE GEARING GROUP, AND THAT'S OUR BENEFIT BROKER AND MYSELF. WHILE PROGRAMMING WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF EMPLOYEES FROM EVERY DEPARTMENT AT THE CITY.
WE KNOW THEM AS WELLNESS AMBASSADORS, AND THEY ARE THE KEY TO THE PROGRAM'S SUCCESS, AND MANY EMPLOYEES HAVE SHARED IN THIS ROLE THROUGH THE YEARS, BUT YOU'LL GET TO MEET OUR CURRENT TEAM OF HEROES AND JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES. BACK IN 2012. WE STARTED SMALL, KICKING OFF WITH CITYWIDE PROGRAMMING THAT INCLUDED LUNCH AND LEARNS ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS. WE HAD GROUP FITNESS ACTIVITIES, AND WE HAD COOKING CLASSES AND HEALTHY MEAL PREP BOOT CAMPS.
WE PROVIDED EVERY EMPLOYEE EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE WITH A FITBIT. AND WE ALSO GAVE THEM THIS LITTLE THING CALLED AN I SHUFFLE. UM WE ACTUALLY STILL HAVE SOME. BUT THESE ARE NOW 10 YEARS OLD, AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE ANYMORE. BUT THEY BASICALLY I THINK OR AN MP FOUR OR SOMETHING. BUT THEY STORE MUSIC AND E BOOKS THAT EMPLOYEES COULD USE ON THEIR JOURNEYS. SO WE GAVE EVERYONE A NICE SHUFFLE. AND, UM, A FITBIT. WE ALSO ENGAGED IN AN ONLINE PORTAL WHERE EMPLOYEES COULD SINK THEIR DEVICES AND BASICALLY EARN POINTS. WE HELD A SOFA TO FIVE K EVENT WE PAID THE REGISTRATION FEES OF EMPLOYEES WHO WANTED TO TRY THEIR VERY FIRST TRIATHLON, INSPIRED BY WHAT THE WELLNESS PROGRAM WAS DELIVERING. WE HELD CITYWIDE RUNNING CHALLENGES CYCLING EVENTS, AND THEN AFTER WORK, WE STARTED DOING THESE WHAT WE CALL FLORIDA MOUNTAIN HIKES, WHICH ARE BASICALLY BRIDGE WALKS. PRIZES WERE GIVEN AT THE END OF THE YEAR, UM, CELEBRATING EMPLOYEES AND THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, EVERYTHING FROM BICYCLES TO SMALL GIFT CARDS. WE ALSO HAVE INITIATED AND ANNUAL EMPLOYEE HEALTH FAIR WHERE LOCAL BUSINESSES WHO ENGAGE IN HEALTH AND WELLNESS THAT'S THEIR BUSINESS. THEY JOIN US AT THE WELLNESS FAIR. WE HAVE ANGIO SCREENS ON SITE MAMMOGRAMS AND WHENEVER WE CAN GET THEM THE BIG RED BUS. THE WELLNESS FAIR IS VERY POPULAR WITH EMPLOYEES. WE'VE HAD TO CANCEL IT NOW TWICE BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO BRINGING IT BACK AS SOON AS WE CAN. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE RECOGNIZED THROUGH THE YEARS IS THAT THE THROUGHOUT THE CITY EMPLOYEES HAD VERY DIFFERENT, UM, DESIRES AND INTERESTS AND HOW WELLNESS PROGRAMMING WOULD BE ROLLED OUT. SOME WANTED BARBECUE GRILLS AND SOME WANTED GROUP EXERCISES, WHICH WERE HELD GENERALLY HELD RIGHT HERE IN CHAMBERS. OTHERS LIKE THE IDEA OF GATHERING FOR SATURDAY MORNING AND TAKING A WALK THROUGH CITY LIMITS EXPLORING NEIGHBORHOODS THEY'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. SOME TOLD US THEY WANT TO MAKE SMOOTHIES AT WORK. OTHERS SAID THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ADULT VERSION OF TIME OUT, AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW IF WE COULD CREATE PLACES OF QUIET WHERE THEY COULD GO. AND JUST BE QUIET TO DISENGAGE. SO THEY CAN RE ENGAGE. THE SUGGESTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES WERE ENDLESS. AND WE WERE THRILLED BECAUSE, UM ALL THE FEEDBACK IS A REALLY
[00:45:03]
CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE SUCCESS OF THE WILDNESS ARE WELL PROGRAMMING. YOU CAN'T DELIVER PROGRAMMING IF EMPLOYEES SIMPLY AREN'T ENJOYING IT, SO WE WANT TO DO WHATEVER EMPLOYEES WANT. SO BASED ON THAT EMPLOYEE FEEDBACK WHAT WE HEARD FROM THEM WAS WE REALLY WANT SMOOTHIE MAKERS. SO THERE ARE SMOOTHIE MAKERS AND EVERY SINGLE LOCATION WHERE EMPLOYEES CAN MAKE THEIR OWN SMOOTHIES. SOME SAID. WE WANT BARBECUE GRILLS, SO WE BOUGHT SOME GRILLS. WE BOUGHT AIRFREIGHT IRS WE BOUGHT DEHYDRATOR, GEORGE FOREMAN GENERALS QUALITY COOKWARE. COPPER COOKWARE FOR FIRE RESCUE. ESSENTIAL OIL, DIFFUSERS AND SALT LAMPS. IN FACT, THE BLOOD PRESSURE MACHINES THAT ARE ALL THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THOSE CAME FROM THE WELLNESS PROGRAM, AND THEY'RE A MEASURE OF PREVENTIVE CARE TO IDENTIFY YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE BEFORE THERE IS AN ISSUE. WE'VE ALSO HAD HEALTHY LUNCH DELIVERIES, WHICH ARE A BIG HIT WITH OUR FIELD EMPLOYEES IN PARTICULAR. WE'VE PURCHASED MEMBERSHIPS, ONLINE EXERCISE PROGRAMS THAT CAN BE VIEWED ON SCREEN HERE ON SITE.AS I SAID, USUALLY HERE IN THIS ROOM. WE REGULARLY VISIT ASSAULT ROOM. WE HAVE OUR OWN SALT ROOM HERE IN THE CITY. IT'S JUST AROUND THE CORNER, AND WE'VE ALSO INVITED LOCAL YOGA AND MEDITATION PRACTITIONERS TO COME ON IN AND TEACH OUR EMPLOYEES. WE'VE HANDED OUT COLORING BOOKS FOR STRESS REDUCTION. WE'VE EXPLORED DIFFERENT KINDS OF TEETH, ESSENTIAL OILS, WEIGHTS AND WAITED THIS I MEAN, YOU NAME IT. WE'VE HELD CLASSES AND BUDGETING AND RETIREMENT PLANNING AND SO MUCH MORE. EACH MONTH. WE DELIVER FRESH FRUIT AND HEALTHY SNACKS TO EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT. AND WE RECENTLY ADDED FRESH VEGETABLES TO THE DISTRIBUTION. BUT ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR, UM, PROGRAMS IS QUARTERLY CHAIR MASSAGES.
THIS WAS THE BRAINCHILD AND ONE OF THE MANY LEGACIES OF MY PREDECESSOR, RETIRED HR DIRECTOR LINDA TOPPY. CHAIR MASSAGES CONTINUE TO BE THE NUMBER ONE REQUESTED CITYWIDE AND INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENT WELLNESS EVENT AT THE CITY. OVERALL WE CONTINUE TO EXPLORE WELLNESS INITIATIVES FROM NEARLY EVERY PROSPECTIVE YOU CAN IMAGINE, AND I'M SURE THE AMBASSADORS WOULD AGREE THAT WE'RE CONSTANTLY EXPLORING ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS. AND WE LIKE TO PARTNER WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES ALONG THE WAY. SO THE WILD PROGRAM IS COMPREHENSIVE. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TIME TODAY TO ARTICULATE ALL THE REALLY FUN THINGS WE'RE DOING, BUT WHAT WE DID DO IS, UH. MARRIED DID EVERYONE GET A COPY OF THIS? YEAH SO THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE WELLNESS PROGRAMMING TO DATE TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF ITS HISTORY AND WHERE WE'VE COME FROM AND KIND OF WHERE WE'RE GOING. AND WE'VE ALSO PROVIDED YOU WITH A WELLNESS PASSPORT. THE WELLNESS PASSPORT CAME ABOUT AT THE EMPLOYEE'S REQUEST. WE USED TO HAVE THAT PORTAL THAT EMPLOYEES USED TO GO ONLINE AND ENTER THEIR POINTS. THEY WANTED TO GO BACK TO A BOOKLET. SO WE CALL IT A WELLNESS PASSPORT. AND WE'VE INSERTED IN HERE FOR YOU HOW THE CREDITS WORK FOR THE EMPLOYEES. SO THESE ARE USED BY EMPLOYEES TO TRACK THEIR DAILY ACTIVITIES AND THROUGH TRACKING THEY RECEIVED CREDITS FOR EVERY 30 MINUTE BLOCK IN WHICH THEY IN GRADE ENGAGED. THEY GET A CREDIT AND EACH QUARTER WE CELEBRATE THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND REWARD THEM WITH GIFT CARDS OF THEIR CHOICE. EMPLOYEES ARE ENCOURAGED TO DIVERSIFY THEIR JOURNEY AND THIS IS ALSO SOMETHING WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU IN A MOMENT. UM THROUGH OUR WELLNESS, REAL AND THE WELLNESS. IN FACT, I THINK I DID. SO THE WELLNESS WHEEL IS SOMETHING THAT WE PUT TOGETHER TO INSPIRE IDEAS TO DIVERSIFY THE WELLNESS JOURNEY. UM AND ON THE BACK. IT ALSO HAS EXPLANATIONS OF WHAT EACH SECTION OF THE WHEEL ACTUALLY MEANS AND HOW TO TRANSLATE IT. SO UM, AND WE'RE ALSO PROVIDING YOU WITH A BAG OF GOODIES.
KAREN'S GOING TO, UM, THIS IS KAREN CHAMBERS CUFFY, OUR HR SPECIALISTS. SHE IS GOING TO DELIVER THE BAG OF GOODIES THAT WE GIVE TO ALL NEW HIRES. DURING THE ONBOARDING PROCESS OF THE MINUTE A NEW EMPLOYEE COMES ON BOARD THERE ARE IMMEDIATELY PLUMMETED INTO OUR WELLNESS PROGRAMMING WITH THIS BACK. WOW. LOTS OF FUN. UM AND I'M GETTING INTO CLOSING HERE.
BUT IT REALLY IS OF NOTE THAT THE WELL PROGRAM IT'S FULL OF FUN STUFF. THE WELLNESS PROGRAM IS ACTUALLY AN AWARD WINNING PROGRAM. VERY EXCITING, AND IN 2016. WE WERE RECOGNIZED BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FOR CREATING PROGRAMMING THAT FOCUSED ON COMBATING OBESITY.
IN 2017. WE WERE RUNNING UP AND SIGNALS ANNUAL WELLNESS ABOARD CELEBRATION FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE NATURE OF OUR PROGRAM. AND THIS YEAR WE WERE RECOGNIZED BY H R FLORIDA STATE COUNCIL FOR OUR TOBACCO AND VAPING CESSATION PROGRAMS. BY THE SUPPORT WARD. WE HAVE BEEN NAMED THE STATEWIDE FIRST PLACE SILVER WINNER, WHICH WE WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TO THE CITY THIS AFTERNOON. A CITY MANAGER DIETS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY. AND THIS WAS ACTUALLY A 2020 AWARDS. BUT THE PANDEMIC DELAYED THEIR ABILITY TO DELIVER IT TO US. WE JUST GOT IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. AND IT WAS JAN FOSSIL. ER HR ANALYST WHO SUBMITTED WHO ENTERED THE CITY INTO THAT AWARD, AND WE WANTED TO GO JAN. AND BEFORE CLOSING. I WOULD
[00:50:07]
LIKE TO MENTION THAT OUR VERY FIRST EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION WEEK. WAS HELD THIS YEAR DURING THE PANDEMIC, AND IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT OUR WELLNESS AMBASSADORS. THEY WERE THE MAGIC MAKERS BEHIND THE SCENES WHO BROUGHT IT ALL TOGETHER. THEY WORKED TIRELESSLY. TO HELP EACH DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR AND MAKING THE EVENT REALLY SPECIAL FOR EVERY EMPLOYEE AND THE CITY. AND THIS WAS IN ADDITION TO THEIR ONGOING EFFORTS AT WELLNESS PROGRAMMING IN THEIR OWN DEPARTMENTS OR ASSIGNED AREAS. COLLECTIVELY WE MEET EVERY SINGLE MONTH TO DISCUSS IDEAS AND ROLL OUT PROGRAMMING AND WITHOUT OUR AMBASSADORS, THE WILD PROGRAM WOULD NOT FUNCTION, IT WAS SIMPLY WOULDN'T HAPPEN. SO I'M HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS AND THEN I'D LIKE TO CALL OUR AMBASSADORS TO THE DIES TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR HARD WORK THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

AT THE SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER IN THE ACP, OF COURSE WITH YOUR SUPPORT AND THE SUPPORT OF THE MARTIN COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.CONDITIONALLY DURING THIS SAME PERIOD WE WERE IN SESSION WITH OUR BUSINESS ACCELERATOR PROGRAM. UM SIX SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WENT THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. THEY WERE AWARDED $6500 IN SMALL BUSINESS GRANTS AND CULMINATING THE 11 WEEK PROGRAM FOR THEIR LEARNING AND HOW TO ACCELERATE THE GROWTH OF THEIR BUSINESS. UM ON GRADUATION NIGHT. ALSO WE WERE VERY PLEASED THAT ENTREPRENEUR JEFF LESLIE JOINED THEM IN A FIRESIDE CHAT JUST TO GIVE TIPS AND TRICKS AND FOR MANY OF YOU THAT ARE IN BUSINESS. YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE DON'T WANT TO. SHOULD NECESSARILY LEARN THE HARD WAY. SO WHEN WE HAVE OUR PEERS GIVE US THOSE. THOSE TIPS AND TRICKS TO HELP AVOID THAT PROBLEM WITH OUR SMALL BUSINESSES. IT'S REALLY HELPFUL, SO MORE PLEASED WITH THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE. UM, YOU KNOW THIS PAST QUARTER. WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE OUR WORK AROUND ENTREPRENEURSHIP THROUGH OUR PROPEL EMC PROGRAM AND IN OUR NEW YEAR, WHICH ALSO BEGINS OCTOBER, 1ST WILL BE FORMING OUR ENTREPRENEUR ACTION TEAM TO ACTUALLY OVERSEE ALL OF OUR ACTIVITIES IN THIS AREA.
ADDITIONALLY TALENTED WORKFORCE WAS ANOTHER KEY AREA THAT WE WORKED ON. AND OF COURSE, WE WERE VERY PLEASED TO SUPPORT YOUR EFFORTS IN PARTICULAR. ADVICE MAYOR MATHESON WITH THE JOB FAIR THAT WE HAD LAST SPRING. UM IT WAS WE HAD 26 EMPLOYERS MORE THAN 175 LOCAL.
COMMUNITY MEMBERS COME OUT WHO WERE LOOKING TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION WITH THEIR NEXT GRADE. WE ACTUALLY HAD HOG. UM TECHNOLOGIES HIRE SOMEBODY IN THE ROOM, AND I KNOW THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHERS THAT WERE HIRED FROM THAT EXPERIENCE, SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO DOING MORE OF THAT. WITH OUR PARTNERS HERE AT THE CITY AND ALSO IN CONJUNCTION WITH SOME NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT YOU'LL SEE ROLL OUT FROM OUR CHAMBER CHAMBER PARTNERS.
ADDITIONALLY UM WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR CHAMBER PARTNERS. NONPROFITS UM, YOU ALL THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND WORKING ON A NEW COMMUNITY PLAN. WE WERE REAL PLEASED WHEN, UM THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TOOK SOME OF THEIR CARES. ACT MONEY FUNDED AN ECONOMIC STUDY THAT WILL ACTUALLY ROLL OUT IT AFTER MEETING TOMORROW. BUT IT JUST REALLY THERE WAS MONEY PUT INTO THE TALENT AND WORKFORCE SYSTEM HERE SO TO HELP BRING AND KEEP US ALL TOGETHER AS WE BUILD EFFICIENCIES AS WE.

TO CHAIR THAT TEAM, AND WE'LL HAVE OUR FIRST MEETING NEXT WEEK AGAIN TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON. UM REALLY, UH, BUILDING A ROBUST.
COMMUNITY RESPONSE FOR TALENTED WORKFORCE IN OUR COMMUNITY, SO THERE ARE THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON IN THIS AREA. UM JUST ONE OF THE THINGS WE RECOGNIZED IS THAT WE'RE NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER, AND WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY PROVIDING THESE REFERRALS BACK AND FORTH TO EACH OTHER. SO THIS TALENT ADVANCEMENT TEAM WILL BE ACTION ORIENTED, AGAIN PUT THEIR ARMS AROUND THE COMMUNITY PLAN. BECAUSE IT IS THE BELIEF OF THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD THAT WE CAN BUILD A REAL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AROUND THIS WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO WORK IN MARTIN COUNTY CAN AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR BUSINESSES CONTINUE TO GROW BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SUCH EXCELLENT TALENT. THAT IS HERE. WE WERE ALSO PLEASED TO WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS AT CAREER SOURCE RESEARCH COAST TO PUT FORWARD A NEW MARINE SERVICES CHECK APPRENTICESHIP HERE, BASED IN MARTIN COUNTY, SO. HINCKLEY YACHTS IS THAT LOCAL BUSINESS WHO IS HOSTING THIS NEW. MARINE SERVICES TECH APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM. IT'S ABOUT 176 HOURS ONCE, FOLKS GO THROUGH THIS, THEY CAN THEN ARE RIPE AND READY FOR SERVICE IN OUR VERY GROWING, UM MARINE BUSINESS. THE WHOLE WORK AROUND TALENTED WORKFORCE, THOUGH, CAN GET COMPLICATED OR CONFUSING TO COMING ON WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO. SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT REAL SIMPLE. COUNTING TO THREE. WE'RE LOOKING TO GROW THE TALENT POOL, ALIGN THE TALENT PIPELINE AND IMPROVED LABOR MARKET DYNAMICS. SO AS WE BRING THOSE PLANS FORWARD TO YOU, YOU'LL HEAR US TALK ABOUT THOSE THREE GOALS.

IN ORDER TO CHANGE HEARTS AND MINDS OF OUR LOCALS TO LOOK AT THE SKILLED TRADES AND MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES FOR THEIR NEXT CAREER. SO WE'RE. VERY PROUD OF THE BDB TO DO THAT WITH OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS.

CURRENTLY WE HAVE 3215 PLUS PEOPLE LOOKING FOR WORK AND RIGHT NOW ONLINE, THERE'S ABOUT 3400 JOBS, SO THERE'S PLENTY OF JOBS FOR FOLKS. THAT ARE LOOKING FOR WORK.

WRAP THEM ALL INTO THIS EXTRAORDINARY SYSTEM. WE HAVE MOVING FORWARD. ADDITIONAL ECONOMIC INDICATORS FOR THE FOURTH FOR THE THIRD QUARTER. WANTED TO JUST GIVE YOU SOME INSIGHT FROM A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE POINT OF VIEW AGAIN. WE ARE SEEING OUR VACANCIES RISE AND RETAIL AND OFFICE. AND OF COURSE, THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED. OUR INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY VACANCY CONTINUES TO FALL, SO, UM, AND THAT'S A BIT OF AN ISSUE FOR US AT THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD, SINCE MANY OF OUR PROSPECTS AT THIS TIME ARE LOOKING FOR INDUSTRIAL SPACE.
SO WE'RE HOPING TO ENCOURAGE MORE. DEVELOPERS AND LANDOWNERS TO BRING NEW INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY ONLINE AND WE ARE SEEING THEM RESPOND TO THAT OPPORTUNITY. I'M PLEASED TO SAY WE'VE GOT SOME NEW INDUSTRIAL SPACE AND COMMERCE AREA. WE'VE GOT SOME NEW INDUSTRIAL SPACE, UM WEST OF I 95 THE TURNPIKE COMING ONLINE.

GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS AND, THANKFULLY, OUR TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY, WHICH WAS SO IMPACTED BY COVID 19. WE NOW ARE SEEING OCCUPANCY RATES IN OUR HOTELS. GETTING CLOSE TO THAT 75% MARK, AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE REVENUES PER NIGHT AND THEIR DAILY RATES ARE ARE GROWING TO THE PROSPECT PIPELINE FOR THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BOARD, AS I MENTIONED IS HEAVY RIGHT NOW IN THE INDUSTRIAL. WE'VE GOT ABOUT 35 PROSPECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH ALL AT DIFFERENT STAGES AND TIMES. PRIMARILY UH WE ARE LOOKING AT NEW CONSTRUCTION. UM, AT THIS POINT, IF WE WERE TO I'LL MAKE THOSE ANNOUNCEMENTS. OF COURSE. THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, I TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ONE OF THE RELOCATIONS THAT WE WERE PLEASED TO HELP AND SUPPORT COME TO THE CITY OF STEWART.
THAT WAS REINHARD AMMO. I WAS JUST ON THE. EMAIL COMMUNICATION THING WITH THE CEO, AND HE WAS REAL PLEASED WITH THE SUPPORT THAT HE WAS GETTING FROM THE CITY AS THEY ARE NEARLY FINISHED IN REHABBING THEY'RE BUILDING. HERE IN THE CITY. THEY ARE ALSO BEGINNING THEIR EFFORTS TO GROW A SECOND LOCATION OUT IN THE VILLAGE OF INDIAN TOWN, SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THEIR CONTINUED GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY. OTHER AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, UM, ON YOUR BEHALF IN THE COMMUNITIES THEY HAVE. THAT WE SEE WE ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH. I'M COLLIERS ON THE OCEAN EAST MEDICAL SITE, THE 42,000 SQUARE FOOT SITE ON EAST OCEAN. UNFORTUNATELY WE LOST A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY THAT WE HAD HOPED TO WIN. I'M FROM NEW JERSEY. BUT FAITH. HEAD A SMALL SITE JUST A LITTLE SOUTH OF US AND DECIDED TO STAY SOUTH AT THIS TIME. WE SEE, UM, MOVEMENT IN THE COMMERCE AREA. OF COURSE, FEDERAL HIGHWAY. WE'VE GOT SEVERAL PROSPECTS.

WE'RE TRYING TO BE MORE BUSINESS FRIENDLY. AND OF COURSE, AS I MENTIONED PARTNERS AND UNITED ECONOMIC LEADERSHIP IS REALLY AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO. ON THE HUBS OF EXCELLENCE IS WHAT I HAD PRESENTED TO YOU SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THAT REMAINS IN PLACE. THERE ARE COUPLE OF TWEAKS THAT WILL SEE OUT OF THE COUNTY'S ECONOMIC COVID 19 ECONOMIC.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. UM FIRST OFF. I PARTICIPATED AND REMEMBERING 9 11 AS I KNOW MANY OF US DID ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND. WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE THAT EVENT. BUT. IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE. IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS. UM I CAN REMEMBER EXACTLY WHERE I WAS WHEN I GOT THE INFORMATION THAT'S ETCHED INTO MY MEMORY AS IT IS, I'M SURE ANYONE WHO HAS EVENT ANY AGE. IT IS, UM. AND YOU KNOW, I JUST LIKE TO SAY WE'LL NEVER FORGET, AND THAT.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME PROUD OF BEING AN AMERICAN. IS WE WILL NEVER FORGET. AND I SEE THAT ALL OVER, NO MATTER HOW DIVIDED OUR COUNTRY COULD BE. WE'RE ALL UNITED ON THAT FRONT. UM, I WANTED TO THANK. YOU KNOW THOSE THAT ORGANIZED THE REMEMBRANCE MEMORIALS. I PARTAKE OR TOOK IN THE UNITED WAY. UM COMMISSIONER HEAD CAN'T BE. FROM MARTIN COUNTY HELPED ORGANIZE A WALKOVER VETERANS MEMORIAL BRIDGE. AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK PRAYER BUCHANAN FOR HOSTING A BLOOD DRIVE. UM. THAT AFTER TELLING THEM EVERY DETAIL OF MY LIFE STORY, UM, WHICH. I WAS ABLE TO DONATE BLOOD HADN'T DONE IN A FEW YEARS AND FORGOT THE IMMENSE QUESTIONING PROCESS THAT IS INVOLVED WITH. UM AS COMMISSIONER, MCDONALD SAID. HE WAS AT SHEPHERD'S PARK, AND I WAS A COUPLE TIMES DURING THE PAST WEEK TO SEE SOME LARGE OAK TREES GO IN, UM. I'VE ENJOYED.
TAKING PART IN THAT PROJECT, AND I'M THRILLED TO SEE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. UM, COME TO FRUITION. I REMEMBER VOTING ON THAT AND THE PROPOSAL WAS TO TAKE DOWN A FEW MATURE TREES
[01:30:06]
THAT WERE DEEMED. WEAKER BY A CERTIFIED ARBORIST FROM UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA OFFICE PROGRAM AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO GOING DOWN AND STORMS. UM AND SOME RESIDENTS. STATED THEIR FRUSTRATION OVER THAT, BUT I BELIEVE NOW IF THEY GO TO THE PARK, UM. THEY'LL SEE THE FINAL OUTCOME AND BE IMPRESSED. UH, NOT ONLY JUST FROM THE TWO MATURE OAK TREES THAT WE BOTH WATCHED GO IN, UM THAT AS COMMISSIONER DONALD MENTIONED THERE WERE. OVER 35 FT. TALL THEY HAD A 16 INCH DIAMETER AT BREAST HEIGHT. AND THEY ACTUALLY TOOK AT THE END 100 AND 60 TON CRANE TO PROPERLY MANEUVER THEM TO PUT THEM IN. SO I WANTED TO THANK, UH TIM VOLKER, MILTON LEGGETT AND JIM CHARLES KEY, UM. YOU KNOW, FOR ALL THEIR INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS AT GETTING THAT PART THE WAY IT IS. I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK ORCA FOR WORKING WITH US ON THE BUFFERED SHORELINE. UM. I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE OUTCOME THERE. CITY REMOVED A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF AN ACRE ON THAT PART OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACE. AND WE REPLACED THAT WITHOUGHLY A QUARTER OF ACRE PERVIOUS CONCRETE. AND THEN A QUARTER ACRE, UH, TURF BLOCK PARKING SPACES. SO EVERYTHING THAT WE REMOVED RAINFALL COULD NOT PENETRATE AND PERCOLATE INTO THE GROUND, AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS REPLACED WAS THAT THE REINFORCED SOD OR PERVIOUS CONCRETE WHERE RAINFALL WHEN IT HIT WOULD PERCOLATE INTO THE GROUND INSTEAD OF RUNNING OFF INTO THE RIVER. THAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RAIN GARDENS AND THE BUFFERED SHORELINE, UM, ARE DRASTICALLY, UH, SHOWING MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS. UH, TO THE RUNOFF. GOING TO THE RIVER AND ORCA WILL BE, UH, PRESENTING SOME OF THOSE STUDIES THAT THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON. TO SHOW THAT ACTUAL RAW DATA TO US, UM AND IN ONE OF THE UPCOMING MEETINGS. UM YEAH. THIS SATURDAY. I JUST WANT TO MENTION AS A BOARD MEMBER OF INDIAN RIVER KEEPER, UM, THAT THEY'LL BE WORKING WITH KEITH MARTIN BEAUTIFUL AT A LOCATION ON JENSEN CAUSEWAY FOR THE INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY CLEANUP. SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED UP AND WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE, UM. HAD TO JENSEN BEACH CAUSEWAY AND YOU CAN JUMP IN AND HELP CLEAN UP OUR WATER WAVES. UH CURRENT HEIGHT OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE IS 14.79 FT. RIGHT NOW. WE'RE STILL GETTING.DISCHARGES OUT OF THE S A T, NOT LAKE DISCHARGES, SO TO SAY, BUT THEY ARE MONITORING THE HEIGHT OF THE CANAL THROUGH THE S A T AS OF TODAY, WE'RE GETTING 380 CFS. UM ANY WEEK HOPEFULLY. THE C 44 RESERVOIR WILL COME ONLINE AND I'VE BEEN PUSHING COLONEL KELLY AND.
SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT TO TAKE THOSE, UM, BUT. THE WORD BASICALLY, IS THAT THE PUMP TO TRANSFER THE WATER INTO THERE IS NOT READY YET. UM BUT I'LL KEEP DOING THAT. AND UH, TREND OFF SOME OF YOUR COMMENTS. COMMISSIONER MCDONALD THANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP THE, UH, LAWSUIT. THERE WERE TWO PLAINTIFFS US SUGAR AND SUGAR CANE GROWERS CO OP OF FLORIDA THAT HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE U. S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS. UM. AND I, FOR ONE.
I KNOW ALL OF US. ACTUALLY WE'RE DOING WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PROTECT OUR WATERWAYS. AND HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS AS THAT. PERTAINS TO OUR WATER AND UNWANTED DISCHARGES FROM LAKE OKEECHOBEE. I HAVE SPOKEN LENGTH TO YOU KNOW, OUR RIVER ADVOCATE BEN HOGARTH AND A BIT, UH, YOU KNOW, CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT THIS. UM, I'VE ALSO SPOKEN TO LIEUTENANT COLONEL POKE. WHO IN A WAY IS TAKING THE REINS AND HIS, YOU KNOW.
HE'S THE SECOND IN COMMAND TO COLONEL KELLY, WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF THE CORE JACKSONVILLE DISTRICT FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. UM, BUT NOW IT'S. COLONEL JAMES BOOTH. UM WHO'S FRESH, SO TO SAY ON IN THIS AREA, BUT LIEUTENANT COLONEL POKE IS THAT OVERLAP OF A YEAR OR TWO. I'VE SPOKEN HIM A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE LAWSUIT. NOT GOING TO GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL, BUT. YOU KNOW WHEN I'VE BROUGHT UP OUR RIVER DEFENSE FUND, WHICH I BROUGHT UP ROUGHLY A YEAR AGO AT BUDGET TIME, UM. WHAT I MEAN BY THAT, AND THE REASON I DON'T WANT TO LIMIT THAT TO FUND IN A CERTAIN AREA BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. ALL I CAN SAY IS I'M WILLING. TO FILE COMPLAINTS AND LITIGATE. YOU KNOW? WITH THE GOAL OF PROTECTING OUR WATERWAYS AND OUR RESIDENTS. UM I'M NOT GOING TO SAY I'LL NEVER LITIGATE WITH THE CORE. I PUSHED TO TRY THAT. IN THIS LAWSUIT AND COMPLAINTS FILED. YOU KNOW THE CORE. COULD
[01:35:06]
BE OUR ALLY. UM AND SO. WHAT I'VE DONE AFTER THINKING AND COMMISSIONER MCDONALD. YOU WANTED ME TO KIND OF. GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN OUTLINE OF HOW THE RIVER DEFENSE FUND WOULD BE USED IF WE WERE TO CREATE IT, UM. AND WHAT I'VE COME UP WITH OR SOME BROAD AREAS, BUT REALLY, AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT WOULD TAKE COMMISSION APPROVAL. AND THERE'S AN ADVANTAGE TO NOT GETTING TO SPECIFIC. WITH THE RIVER DEFENSE FUND. IF WE CREATE ONE, UM. BUT IT WOULD BE USED FOR RESEARCH, LITIGATION, ADVOCACY, LOBBYING AND EDUCATION.BASICALLY UM YOU KNOW, AND ALL OF THOSE MIGHT BE DONE. BRIEFLY IF WE DECIDE TO TAKE AN ACTION UM. ON THE COMPLAINT THAT THAT'S ON THE TABLE RIGHT NOW, WITH THE U. S ARMY CORPS. UM.
YOU KNOW, AND I WILL BRING THAT UP, AND PERHAPS WE'LL HAVE A DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION TOPIC ON THEIR COMPLAINT. RIGHT NOW. I FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE BEST. POSITION IS. ONE TO CREATE THIS DEFENSE FUND, BUT TO JUST TO SEE WHAT HOW THE CORE RESPONDS. UM, I KNOW I'LL BE TALKING TO COLONEL POPE. DURING THE WEEK ON THEIR REACTIONS, BUT THEY WILL ALSO RESPOND IN WRITING. UM BUT FRANKLY, THAT THE U. S. THE COURSE COMPLAINT. IS. GOING TO HAVE THE EFFORT OF IMPEDING. THE A TWO SDE AND RESERVOIR. AND THEIR COMPLAINT THAT THE CORE IS VIOLATING THE WATER SAVINGS CLAUSE. CAN HARM US IN OUR RESIDENTS AND WATERWAYS, DEPENDING HOW IT TURNS OUT. SO. I'LL BE MAKING A MOTION AND IT WILL NOT AFFECT THIS FUTURE BUDGET THAT WE JUST APPROVED, SPOKEN WITH. CITY MANAGER DIES ABOUT IT. THE GOAL IS TO SWEEP THE REMAINING FUNDS IN CITY ATTORNEYS. UH. WE PROBABLY ALL COMMONLY LABELLED AS THE OUTSIDE COUNSEL FUND. INTO A RIVER DEFENSE FUND ACCOUNT AND TO DO THAT ANNUALLY. I'M NOT SETTING ANY FUN LIMIT. IT'S THE REMAINDER OF THE FUNDS AT THE END OF THIS COMING FISCAL YEAR.
UM SO IT DOESN'T AFFECT OUR UPCOMING BUDGET. UM. AND AS I SAID THE FUNDS WOULD BE USED FOR THE PURPOSES I'VE STATED, BUT ANY OF THOSE. UH ANY WITHDRAWS WOULD HAVE TO TAKE COMMISSION NATIONAL DISCUSSION DELIBERATION. UM IT'S HARD. SO. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT AT THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR. AND FUSED FUTURE FISCAL YEARS. TO TRANSFER THE REMAINING BALANCE. FROM FUND. 1150.53. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. INTO A RIVER DEFENSE FUND. THE USES OF THE FUND. SHALL PERTAIN TO RESEARCH LITIGATION, ADVOCACY, LOBBYING AND EDUCATION. ON BEHALF OF. THE ST LUCIE RIVER AND OUR RESIDENTS. COMMISSION APPROVAL. WOULD BE REQUIRED.
FOR WITHDRAW FROM THIS FUND. CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? YEAH FOR THIS IS FOR THE 2021 22 BUDGET. THIS WILL BE ALL BUDGETS AFTER THAT. IT'S STARTING WITH HIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. WE'RE IN NOW. OKAY SO YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE JUST APPROVED THAT THE BUDGET FOR 2022 SO THIS WOULD BE. I'M JUST SO WE'RE MODIFYING THAT THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE.
NO I MEAN NO MATHESON, VICE MAYOR MATH. LET ME TRY TO EXPLAIN. SO WE'RE CURRENTLY IN FISCAL YEAR 2021 AT THE END OF THIS YEAR IN SEPTEMBER, 30TH 2021 WHEN ALL THE PUTS AND TAKES ARE DONE ANY BALANCE WITHIN THAT ACCOUNT THAT HE HAD LABELED. WOULD BE TAKEN AND PUTTING IN A SINKING FUND UNDERSTANDING THAT THE BALANCE OF THE BUDGET COMES FIRST. SO IF THERE IF IT'S NOT ABLE TO GO IN THERE BECAUSE THE BALANCE OF THE BUDGET DOESN'T ALLOW IT TO GO IN THERE, THERE WOULD NOT BE A SINKING NO MONEY GOING INTO THAT THINKING FUN. HOWEVER IF THERE IS FUNDS LEFT AND THAT BALANCE IS THERE. RATHER THAN GOING TO RESERVE THAT WOULD GO TO OUR BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND. IT WOULD GO TO THE SINKING THIS NEWLY CREATED SINKING FUND. OKAY UM, I'M FINE WITH THAT. ONLY THING I WOULD SUGGEST, IS THAT UH OH. NEXT YEAR. THAT WE JUST BRING THAT JUST HAVE THIS AS A FUNDED WRITER ITEM IS, UM, THAT WOULD
[01:40:07]
INCREASE THE BUDGET. YEAH, I UNDERSTAND. DOING IT DOESN'T INCREASE BY WELL, WE CAN, BUT WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE WE WHERE WE COME FROM, BUT I THINK IF. IT'S SO BUT I'M FINE WITH THAT, SO I'LL SECOND THE MOTION. BUT I THINK WHEN WE GET THE BUDGET TIME WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT NEXT YEAR. WELL NEXT YEAR FOR THE FOLLOWING YEARS, AND, UH ARE YOU GUYS SETTING THE POLICY AND ADOPTING IT RIGHT NOW? BECAUSE THIS ISN'T AN AGENDA ITEM ASKING TO PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA RESOLUTION PASSING A RESOLUTION WITHOUT A RATHER DO THAT BECAUSE I HATE GETTING THESE THINGS COMING UP. I NEVER GOT THE EMOTIONS WITHOUT US HAVING SO CAN WE BRING THEN I CAN AMEND THE MOTION TO HAVE. STAFF BRING BACK A RESOLUTION AS AS I DESCRIBED YES, I THINK THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME PREPARATION AND DISCUSSION. THANK YOU. ACTUALLY SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS UNDER THAT BUDGET ITEM. THAT KIND OF LEADS ME. I KNOW WE'VE HAD THIS AT TIMES WHERE WE'VE HAD COMMISSIONERS BRING UP ITEMS IN THERE. UM. TIME WHEN THEY SPEAK, AND SOMETIME WE'VE HAD THEM. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GONE THROUGH WITH THE MOTION, BUT MAYBE WE NEED TO RETHINK AND LOOK AT THE POLICY AGAIN, BECAUSE, UM, SOMETIMES IT'S JUST NOT FAIR TO BRING UP CERTAIN ITEMS AND HAVE THEM. WANTED TO BE VOTED ON RIGHT THEN. WELL UNDER BUDGET ITEMS STATION WAS BY SOME STAFF THAT THIS DOESN'T IT'S WELL THE PURPOSE. I THINK THE LOGIC BEHIND IT NOT NEEDING A RESOLUTION IS THAT IT'S NOT A IT'S NOT A MODIFICATION OF THE BUDGET, BUT IT'S A POLICY OF THE COMMISSION. THAT WOULD LIMIT THE FUNDS THAT TO WHATEVER AND I DON'T CARE IF IT'S RIVER FUND OR IF IT'S A.ARTS COUNCIL FUND OR A OR A PARK FUND. WHAT IT DOES IS IT RESTRICTS THOSE FUNDS GOING FORWARD. TO ANY FUTURE ADMINISTRATIONS BECAUSE WHATEVER BALANCES LEFT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S $1 OR A MILLION DOLLARS, BUT IT ALSO IMPACTS HOW THE CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET THOSE FUNDS BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY THE OTHER QUESTION THAT NEEDS TO BE DEBATED IS. LET'S ASSUME IT'S $100,000. THAT'S FUN. THAT'S BUDGETED FOR THAT ACCOUNT. AND LET'S SAY THAT IT'S ONE OF THOSE YEARS THAT $350,000 GET SPENT ON OUTSIDE LEGAL COUNSEL.
DO YOU INVADE THE TRUST FUND FOR THOSE MONIES FOR THAT, OR DO YOU FIND NEW MONEY TO PAY THAT? ABSOLUTELY PRIOR MONEY BECAUSE THE OTHER MONEY WAS DEDICATED BECAUSE IT DIDN'T GET SPENT THE YEAR BEFORE. AND FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE WAS PENDING LITIGATION RIGHT NOW IN THE LAW FIRM WAS BILLING US AT $15,000 A MONTH. AND THEY JUST GOT HIRED IN AUGUST. SO WE ONLY HAD AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER IS ONLY 30,100 WAS GONE, BUT WE KNEW THE OTHER 70,000 WAS GOING TO BE NECESSARY. BUT BECAUSE IT WENT PAST OCTOBER 1ST IT WAS UNDER THIS OLD POLICY THAT'S NOT DEFINED IN A RESOLUTION THAT MONEY IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO PAY THE NEXT YEAR BECAUSE THE POLICY HAS BEEN SET. I THINK THE FINANCE DIRECTORS COMMENT THAT A RESOLUTION WASN'T NECESSARY. WAS BECAUSE IT'S NOT A BUDGET INCREASE, TO THE EXTENT THAT IT DOESN'T CHANGE MONEY THAT'S ALREADY BEEN ADOPTED BY THE BUDGET, BUT IT IS A POLICY OF THE BOARD MOVING FORWARD THAT WOULD NEED SOME KIND OF DOCUMENTATION AS TO WHERE IT CAME FROM HER WHEN MR MARTEL I, I AGREE, AND I'LL BE HAPPY AS I ALREADY DID TO AMEND MY BUDGET, BUT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT YOU KNOW, WE COULD. ATTEMPT TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IF WE WERE GETTING. WE DON'T 1000 CFS LOADED WITH TOXIC, YOU KNOW? ALGAE LOADED WITH MICROSYSTEMS. AND RIGHT NOW WE'D PROBABLY WANT TO KEEP THE POLICY OR WOULD PROBABLY BE DISCUSSING TAKING MONEY OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND TO DISCUSS ALL OPTIONS, AND I BROUGHT THIS UP DURING THE BUDGET WORKSHOPS TO MAKE IT AN AMENDMENT TO THE BUDGET. AND THE REASON I BROUGHT IT BACK THIS WAY WAS SO THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO AMEND THE BUDGET AND WE'RE JUST SHIFTING FUNDS THAT ARE LEFT OVER FOR A DEDICATED. DEFENSE FUND IN OUR RIVER TO BUILD UP THAT ACCOUNT.
WE'LL BRING BACK A RESOLUTION. YEAH. WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT. BRING SOMETHING BACK TO US.
YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM VICE MAYOR? UM. THERE'S EMOTIONAL NOW THOSE ARE ALL MY COMMENT. DIFFERENT EMOTIONS, EMOTIONS. MOTIONS WITHDRAWN. YES. NO OTHER COMMENTS. OKAY? NO SAID THAT IT'S LEFT UP TO ME. UH HMM. UH, WE MENTIONED ABOUT THE RIBBON CUTTING THAT'S COMING UP ON THE 20 SECONDS. I'M LOOKING. PORT TO THAT I'VE BEEN DRIVING BY THE PART WHAT I MISS THOSE DAYS WHEN THEY. TREES WERE GOING UP DRIVE THERE EARLY IN THE MORNING. UM, ON THURSDAY, I'LL BE GOING ON TO INDIAN RIVER. STATE COLLEGE FOR THE
[01:45:06]
LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION. IT'S AN EVENT FROM NINE TO ABOUT NOON. PUBLIC IS INVITED. UM. ALL OF OUR LEGISLATIVE DELEGATES WILL BE THERE AND WE'LL BE MAKING OUR PRESENTATION. I'M TRYING TO GET SOME FUNDS FOR THE ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY. AND THEN BRING IN SOME OF OUR.ITEMS WHICH HURTS THE SIMILAR ITEMS THAT WE HAD. UM LAST YEAR WERE STILL HIGHLIGHTING THOSE TWO ARE LEGISLATIVE, UM DELEGATION. I'M WON'T PUBLICITY DIDN'T STOP, BUT I KNOW THAT WE HAVE AT LEAST FIVE MAIN THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT. WHAT? WE'LL JUST HIGHLIGHT, PROBABLY THE MAIN ONE. FARM. FOR STATE FOLKS. ALTHOUGH I, MR MASS, UH, CONGRESSMAN, MASS WILL BE. THEY'RE ALSO SO THAT'S ON THURSDAY AT NINE A.M. AT THE WOLF TECHNOLOGY CENTER AT I R.
S C. UM. UH THIS WEEK I HAD A DEATH IN MY FAMILY. THEY'RE, UM THEY'RE NOT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. BUT UM, MY AUNT PASSED AWAY AND I JUST THINK. OF SO MANY PEOPLE WANT PEOPLE WHO ARE PASSING AWAY FOR WHATEVER REASON SHE WAS OLDER. AND I, UM. I JUST HONORED THAT BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, I THINK OF, UM. MY FIRST FUNERAL THAT I HAD RECENTLY AT THE. FOR VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK. I DIDN'T KNOW. THAT IT WOULD WORK OUT LIKE THAT. BUT, UM. IT WORKED OUT REALLY WELL, AND I WE HAD OH, SERGEANT FROM THE ARMY SERGEANT. RONNIE LANGSTON, LAURENT LANGSTON. AND. THE SPECIAL EVENTS DEPARTMENT. MICHELLE ARE BIZARRE AND OUR PARKS AND REC AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. EVERYBODY WHO HAD A HAND IN. AND HELPING THAT FAMILY AND HELPING OUR SEVERE STEWART AS WELL AS OUR VETERANS COUNCIL. UM IT'S NOT JUST WHEN WE HAVE. IT'S A SAD EVENT, BUT IT'S NOT JUST WHEN WE HAVE. YOU KNOW, UM, FEARS AND FESTIVALS AND SO ON WHEN WE USE OUR PARK FACILITIES, BUT IT WAS JUST A SHOWCASE OF WHAT? OUR CITY. CAN DO AND WHAT OUR CITY CAN BE LIKE, AND IT WAS A. I THINK IT WAS JUST EYE OPENER FOR A LOT OF THE PEOPLE WHO CAME OUT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A SET OF OCCASIONS, SO I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL MISS OUR BAZAAR AND, UM. THOSE WHO HAVE PREPARED THE PARK. I THINK THAT PUBLIC WORKS AND OF COURSE, OUR VETERANS COUNCIL. LIKE I SAID, THOSE WHO WERE THERE AND, UM AND IT'S SELF FIT IN BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE 20TH. COMMEMORATION AND THAT PART IS CALLED VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN IN THERE, WHETHER IT'S MORE FUN EVENT OR TIME TO RUMINATE AND THINK AND. YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A WONDERFUL PLACE AND I'M SO GLAD THAT WE HAVE THAT AND HOPEFULLY IF PLANS GO FORWARD. IN A FEW YEARS. OR MAYBE 10 YEARS WILL PROBABLY HAVE OUR CITY HALL RIGHT ACROSS FROM THERE. AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO HAVE UM. JUST A REPRESENTATION OF OUR CITY IN THAT AREA, SO I THINK THAT WAS, UM THAT WAS JUST WONDERFUL. UM WE HAD A PRESENTATION TONIGHT FROM THE ECONOMIC. THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ALMOST SAID THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. UM BOARD. AND, UM. I'M JUST REALLY PROUD OF WHAT'S GOING ON. AND I KNOW THAT RECENTLY I'VE TALKED TO CITY MANAGER. I HAD A CONCERN, ESPECIALLY FROM SOMEBODY IN EAST STEWART, WHO SAID THAT THEY WANTED TO SEE MORE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE STEWART. THEY WANTED TO SEE PLACES WHERE PEOPLE COULD.
PARTICIPATE IN LEARNING HOW TO DO A TRADE OR JUST LEARNING THINGS. SO I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU. AND UM PEOPLE CAN LEARN WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO DO IN ORDER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE RESOURCES AND THE EMPLOYERS WHO ARE OUT THERE.
LOOKING FOR PEOPLE AND WANTING TO TRAIN PEOPLE. SO I THINK THAT, UM. THAT IS A GOOD THING, AND I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE. WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN OUR COMMUNITY. UM. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY SO I'D LIKE TO HAVE A MOTION FOR BOTH PERMIT BY CITY MANAGER. NO COMMENT. AND SPICY TOMATO. THANK YOU. MAYBE IT'S JUST TIME FOR US EVALUATION OR SOMETHING.
[01:50:08]
ARE YOU KIDDING? HEY, WHAT'S UP? YEAH. MUST BE KEEPING QUIET BECAUSE OF SOMETHING. THE[APPROVAL OF AGENDA]
EMOTION FOR APPROVED THE MOTION FOR THE AGENDA. SECOND. MOTION FOR APPROVAL AND SECOND THE AGENDA. DO WE NEED ANY ALL IN FAVOUR? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. UM, WE HAVE COMMENTS FROM THE[COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC (3 Minutes Max.)]
PUBLIC. I HAVE TWO COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC. WE HAVE, MR LAYTON. WHO'S HERE FROM THE OFFICE OF THE OF CONGRESSMAN MASS. I'M NOT SURE IF. IF THAT SON IS OFFICIAL DUTY, OR IS JUST SOME REGULAR PUBLIC COMING, BUT WE WELCOME YOU, MR LAYTON. THANK YOU. MAYOR COMMISSIONER STAFF. I COME BEFORE YOU IN REGARDS TO AN ARTICLE THAT WAS WRITTEN IN A PAMPHLET THAT IS DISSEMINATED OUT. BY FORMER COMMISSIONER CAMPENNI AND COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS IN RESPONSE TO A MEETING THAT WAS HELD HERE AT THE CITY. I THINK IT WAS. THE END OF LAST MONTH. MAYBE THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH. I KNOW, COMMISSIONER YOU WERE PRESENT THERE. UM THE CONGRESSMAN, OBVIOUSLY, UH, WAS GIVEN THE ARTICLE IN IT. IT HAD A COUPLE OF THINGS AS FAR AS NAVIGATIONAL ISSUES AT THE MARINE INDUSTRY HAD SOME OF THE TIMES OF THE BRIDGES. MOST IMPORTANTLY, FUNDING BUT I GUESS WHAT WAS KIND OF CONCERNING TO HE AND I BOTH IS THAT IT SAID THAT WE WERE INVITED TO THIS MEETING AND THAT. WE DIDN'T SEND A REPRESENTATIVE NOR DID HE COME, SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL HAD ALREADY MALE.EVERYBODY HERE HAS MY PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER. I KNOW YOUR TEAM WITH JIM AND EVERYBODY ELSE WE FREQUENTLY TALK AND TALK ABOUT THINGS ARE GOING ON. DID YOU CALL? SEND AN EMAIL TO OUR OFFICIAL OFFICE? BY ANY CHANCE, DO YOU? NO NO, MADAM MAYOR. UM, CONGRESSMAN, MASS OFFICE WAS NOT INVITED TO THAT MEETING. SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT WAS PUT IN THE ARTICLE FOR PURPOSELY DID NOT INVITE HIM TO THE MEETING BECAUSE IT WAS A DISCUSSION WITH THE MARINE INDUSTRIES TO DETERMINE WHAT THEIR LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT WAS GOING TO BE WITH THIS EFFORT.
SO MAYBE IT WAS A MISPRINT OR MORE INACCURATE. OKAY I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE I WANTED TO PUT IN WRITING LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY ON THE SECOND TIME COMING FROM THE SAME INDIVIDUAL. IT ATTENDS THESE MEETINGS. THE CONGRESSMAN OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T TAKE THAT LIGHTLY. ONCE WE FOUND OUT HE HAD A CALL TO YOUR CITY MANAGER ABOUT IT AND ALSO TO MR CAMPENNI. WHAT I WILL SAY IS THIS BEFORE IT WAS ALL ABOARD FLORIDA IT WAS BRIGHT LINE. AS YOU ALL KNOW THAT WAS ONE OF HIS TOP ISSUES IN ADDITION TO WATER, SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE PULLING ALL OF THOSE COMMITTEE HEARINGS THAT HE SAT ON, AND THEY TESTIFIED UNDER OATH BECAUSE IT SAYS. TO HIS QUOTE THAT THE CONGRESSMAN IS IN CHARGE OF BRINGING HOME THE BACON. ONE OF THEIR EXACT STATEMENTS IS THERE WILL NOT BE ANY TAXPAYER DOLLARS UTILIZED, AND SO I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU ALL AND YOUR CONSTITUENCY. YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE BUDGET SHORTFALLS AND TRYING TO FIND MONEY AND SO. WHEN YOU GUYS NEGOTIATED OR WORKED OUT THAT CONTRACT OF THE LAWSUIT, WHATEVER THAT IS, IS WHAT YOU HAD. HOWEVER AS WE TALKED TODAY, YOU KNOW, FEDERAL SUPERSEDES SOME OF THOSE THINGS. AND I THINK THAT PERHAPS IF YOU WANT TO SET UP A MEETING WITH THE CONGRESSMAN TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHERE IT'S COMING FROM UP THERE VERSUS LOCALLY HAPPY TO DO SO. BUT I THINK THAT YOU ALL MIGHT WANT TO HEAR, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE THE REPRESENTATIVE. OF THAT, AS WELL AS THE NAVIGATIONAL TIMES OF THAT BRIDGE GOING UP AND DOWN THE LAST HE HAD THAT CONVERSATION UNDER OATH WITH THEM AND HEARING WAS THAT 50% NOT 75 LIKE THE PAMPHLET STATES SO. THINK THERE'S SOME MISUNDERSTANDING THAT YOU ALL NEED TO BE WELL AWARE OF, UM AND THANK YOU FOR CORRECTING THAT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SENT TO US. WE APPRECIATE THAT.
AND YOU CAN ALSO CONTACT MR COMPANY. UM, HIS NEWSPAPER THING DOESN'T YOU KNOW? HE PROBABLY JUST REPORTS WHAT HE THINKS HAPPENS HERE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL HAD OUR CONTACT. SO THE GENERAL PUBLIC KNOWS THAT. YES. I APPRECIATE THAT THANK YOU. AND WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INACCURACIES THAT A FORMER COMMISSIONER. PRINTED, BUT THAT IS. NOT THE SENSE OF THE CITY OF STEWART NEVER HAS BEEN. SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, STEPHEN THANK YOU. THANK YOU MR LAYTON. THANK YOU. THAT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU. YES, SIR. UM MISS MISS BETTY BRINKLEY. THE MEDIAN. YES MA'AM. UM I WAS HERE ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS AGO. I HADN'T BEEN HERE. AND WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW THAN HIS STUFF TALKING ABOUT HOW. DO YOU GET RIGHT UP TO THE MIC, MISS BRINKLEY TALKING ABOUT A PHOTO? BRING IT TO YOU BRING IT CLOSE TO YOU. OKAY, AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND. AND I HEARD THIS PERSON SAFE FROM UP THERE. WE SPENT. SO MANY 1000 OVER EASTER START WHAT I THINK. WHAT WAS THAT TO SAY TO COME OUT OF SOMEBODY'S MOUTH ABOUT THAT? WELL, HOW MUCH MONEY I WANTED
[01:55:04]
TO SAY SOMETHING THEN? BUT WHEN YOU SPEND WHAT 10 MILLION. UM. 11 10 MILLION SO DOWNTOWN.LET'S SEE ARE A MONEY. BUT YOU ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN FOR EACH STOOD. BUT IT NEVER CAME THROUGH. HE HAD A PLAN FOR GERMANY'S I THOUGHT YOU HAD NO MONEY. AND STUFF. BUT YOU ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN FOR US, BUT NO ACTION YET. SO ARE WE GOING TO GET INTO ACTION JUST PLAYING AS USUAL? SO AND ANOTHER THING. I CAME HERE. IN FEBRUARY, AND I SPOKE AGAINST AN OFFICER. THAT ALLEGED IS. THERE HE WANTS TO SHOOT MY PRINCESS. FREAKING HEAD OFF. HE LOST. SHOOT MY GRANDSONS. FREAKING HEAD OFF. SO HERE JEWELER. PHILOSOPHY OF. THERE WAS POLICE ACTIVITY IN BETWEEN THE HOUSE OF AUTHORITY. SO I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. I SAID TO MYSELF, I WASN'T WRONG. GET OUT THE CAR. YOU KNOW, I'M JUST COMING TO ME BECAUSE I LET YOU PUT OVER CONFERENCE SHOOTING UP THROUGH FAR WORKING AT THE CAR. THAT'S VERY GOOD FOR THE 10 YEAR OLD BOY FACING THE PULLEYS ON THEY KNOW THE DUCK AROUND. I HAD TO LET ME GO WITH HIM WITH THE KIDS THAT BECAUSE I WAS FREE IT FOR THEM. SO I WENT OVER THERE TO THE KIDS AND LITTLE 10 YEAR OLD SAY, YOU ALWAYS COME IN AND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HARASSING US AND TAKE IT UP OUR WORK. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PUBLICATION OF SO, UM. YEAH I AM. I'M TALKING TO THE KIDS AND TELL THEM THAT THAT'S WHY I NEED YOU TO GROW UP TO BECOME POLICE OFTEN LOOK AND LAWYERS THAT HELP YOUR COMMUNITY OUT AND THEN I TELL THE OFFICER, UH, TAKE A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE, BUT I'M TRYING TO KEEP THE PEACE.

]WHICH IS REGARDING THE OPIOID SETTLEMENT RESOLUTION NUMBER 85 2021 IF YOU COULD READ THE RESOLUTION OR CITY MANAGER COULD RE ACQUAINT US WITH THIS. ITEM BEFORE THE RESOLUTION IS RED. SO THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS. WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS. WE SHOULD READ THE RESOLUTION FIRST.

TO JOIN WITH THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENT SETTLEMENT UNITS AS A PARTICIPANT IN THE FLORIDA MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND FORMAL AGREEMENTS, IMPLEMENTING A UNIFIED PLAN PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. AND IN SUMMARY, WHAT HAPPENED WAS AS YOU RECALL, MAYBE TWO YEARS AGO. THE CITY VOTED TO HIRE TRAVIS WALKER, WHO WAS GOING TO REPRESENT THE CITY ON A CONTINGENCY FEE TO PURSUE THE OPIOID RECOVERY. IN THE MEANTIME, THE PRODUCED COMPANY FILED BANKRUPTCY AND A LOT OF. THINGS HAPPENED WITHIN THAT BANKRUPTCY, BUT ONE OF THEM INCLUDED THE STATE OF FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL STEPPING IN AND, UH PRODUCE RESOLVING ALL OF THE. GOVERNMENTAL OPIOID CLAIMS WITH THE STATE DIRECTLY. THE STATE HAS SENT THE CITY. AND OFFER TO, UM, PARTICIPATE IN THIS. GLOBAL SETTLEMENT BY WAY OF A
[02:00:09]
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING. ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT DOES IS, IT GIVES 100% OF THE AUTHORITY TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO DISPERSE THE PROCEEDS FROM THAT SETTLEMENT. ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY CONSIDER TO BE AN EQUITABLE METHOD. THE REALITY OF IT IS WHEN WE FIRST DISCUSSED AND STARTED PURSUING THE CASE. THE CITY DIDN'T. EXPECTED IT TO BE A LONG SHOT.DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE GOING TO GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT. UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS, THERE WILL BE FUNDS RECOVERED. THE DETERMINATION WILL BE. UH ONCE ON SEPTEMBER 30TH IS THE DEADLINE TO OPT INTO THIS MEMORANDUM. AND. DEPENDING ON WHO OPS IN. AT THAT POINT, THE STATE WILL. ALLOCATE THE FUNDS IN THE BANKRUPTCY SETTLEMENT. AND JUST AND DEDICATE THEM ACCORDINGLY. RIGHT NOW, IT APPEARS TO BE BASED ON POPULATION. SO. YOU KNOW, OURS WOULD BE A POPULATION BASED FUND THAT WOULD COME TO US. WE WON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE. I TALKED TO TRAVIS WALKER ABOUT IT TO THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO NOT OPT IN.
AND UM, SEE IF YOU'RE CASE COULD SURVIVE THE BANKRUPTCY AND HAVE YOUR INDIVIDUAL CASE AGAINST PURDUE ALONE AND DIRECTLY. AND HE SAID IT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY. 5 TO 10 YEARS FROM NOW, IF YOU WERE TO LITIGATE THE CASE, AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALONE, AND OBVIOUSLY WE HAD ORIGINALLY OPTED INTO THE CLASS ACTION, HE RECOMMENDED THAT WE ACCEPT THE, UH REQUEST BY THE STATE. AND HONESTLY IT TO ME. IT'S FORTUNATE THAT INTO POCKETS A POSITIVE NUMBER AND THE CITY WASN'T GOING TO PURSUE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE WITHOUT MR WALKER'S COMMENTS, ANYWAY. I'LL MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT, UM. I LIVE ON 16TH COURT. THIS IS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. I HAVE FILLED OUT A FORM EIGHT B.
MEMORANDUM OF VOTING CONFLICT IS THAT SUFFICIENT? CITY ATTORNEY. I DON'T REALLY I DON'T THINK I NEED TO, BECAUSE THERE'S NO SUPPORT. BUT YES, IT'S UPSTAIRS. NO SPECIAL BENEFIT, BUT I'M DOING THIS SUMMARY IS THAT THE MAYOR HAS A POTENTIAL FINANCIAL, UH, IMPACT DUE TO THE FACT THAT HER PROPERTY IS ADJACENT TO THIS LAND AND THEREFORE, AS A CONFLICT IN HIS PROHIBITED FROM VOTING ON THE MATTER. OKAY, AND WE ALREADY HAVE ONE MISSING CITY COMMISSIONER. UM. AND THEN THE OTHER THING WENT WHILE WE GO TO STAFF. I HAD TALKED TO CITY MANAGER LIKE I SAID, I LIVED THERE, BUT I WAS WONDERING WHAT WERE THE GUIDELINES. MR CITY ATTORNEY. WITH REGARD TO NOTICE BECAUSE I DID NOT GET A SPECIAL NOTICE
[02:10:08]
FROM THE CITY, AND IT WASN'T SURE IF MY NEIGHBORS HAD TO GET ONE. THERE'S IT'S NOT A IT'S NOT A ZONING CHANGE. THE PROPERTY IS NOT IT'S SIMPLY THE CITY IS LIFTING. IF THE COMMISSION VOTES IN FAVOR OF IT, ESSENTIALLY, IT'S THE CITY IS LIFTING THEIR INTEREST IN THE. RIGHT OF WAY OFF. IF YOU READ THE STATE STATUTE AS IT RELATES TO RIGHT OF WAYS IF THE CITY HAS NO FUTURE PLANS FOR THE PROPERTY, AND IT'S NOT USING IT, IT HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE THE LAND BACK TO THE UNDERLYING LANDHOLDERS. THE COMMISSION COULD GIVE DIRECTION TO STAFF TO NOTIFY. THE PROPERTY OWNERS IF YOU ARE INCLINED TO DO THAT, BUT THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE ANY STATUTORY NOTICE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT CHANGING ANY.ZONING WE'RE NOT CHANGING ANY PROPERTY RIGHTS. WE'RE NOT CHANGING ANYTHING OTHER THAN SIMPLY REMOVING A RIGHT OF WAY THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THE CITY HAS EVER EXERCISED ANYTHING ON ANYWAY IN THE FIRST PLACE. THERE IS, I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A POWER LINE EASEMENT IN IT THAT WOULD STILL EXIST. THAT'S NOT BEING REMOVED. BUT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE IT. IT JUST IS WHAT IT IS. WITH THE LANDOWNERS BE ABLE TO MOM. SURVEY THAT AREA AND ADDED TO THEIR PROPERTY, OR WOULD IT JUST BE? THERE FOR THEM TO NOW BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUT YOU KNOW, PAID TAXES ON IT THE RIGHT OF WAY. RESULTS IN. THE LAND ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY BEING YOU EQUALLY REVERTING BACK TO THE UNDERLYING LANDHOLDER. IT'S A 10 FT WIDE RIGHT OF WAY. SO FIVE FT WILL GO TO THE LANDOWNER ON 18TH STREET AND FIVE FT WILL GO TO THE LANDOWNER ON 16TH STREET. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE AIRPORT OR THE FAA IS THE 18TH STREET LANDOWNER FOR ALL OF THE PARCELS. THE 16TH STREET, ALTHOUGH THEY WILL THEN GET AN EXTRA FIVE FT EXTENSION TO THEIR BACKYARD. THEY COULD FENCE THAT IN, THEY COULD MODE THAT AND MAINTAIN IT. HOWEVER THEY PROBABLY CAN'T BUILD A BUILDING WITHIN THAT, BECAUSE THERE'S A FPR LINE THAT GOES THROUGH THERE, BUT FROM SETBACK PURPOSES IF THEY WERE BUILDING AND YOU HAD TO BE 10 FT OFF THE LOT LINE. THAT SETBACK WOULD NOW BE MEASURED FROM THE NEW LINE OF WHERE THAT FIVE FT IS. THANK YOU. AND I'D LIKE TO SAY ALSO THAT I LIVE IN THAT AREA AND THE. MARTIN COUNTY HAS PUT A FENCE THERE, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE NOT INCLUDED.
FIVE FT. THERE'S A. THERE'S LIKE FIVE FT BEYOND THEIR FENCE THAT THEY DID NOT INCLUDE IN THERE BECAUSE, OF COURSE. RIGHT AWAY WASN'T ABANDONED AT THE TIME. CORRECT THEY PUT THEIR FENCE FIVE FT IN ON THEIR PROPERTY LINE, RIGHT? MR FREEMAN, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ON THIS MATTER? AND NO, MADAM, MAY I JUST GOT A ILLUSTRATION ON THE SCREEN WHERE THIS IS LOCATED. ISLAND. THAT IS THE UNDERLYING PLAN. WHICH IT LIES. BETWEEN 16TH COURT AND 18TH STREET. THINK YOU COVERED THE ITEM FROM MADAM MAYOR. I THINK EVERYTHING'S BEEN FAIRLY WELL COVERED BY, UH, CONVERSATIONS UP HERE. UM I GUESS MY ONLY OTHER QUESTION WOULD BE HAS. THE COUNTY AND THE FAA BEEN NOTIFIED. OF THE INTENT TO ABANDON THE RIGHT OF WAY. YES I HAD A MEETING WITH SAM AND GEORGE STOKES. BUT SAM IS FROM THE AIRPORT AND GEORGES FROM THE COUNTY AND WE DISCUSSED THIS RELEASE. THEY. THEY DO NOT WANT TO RELEASE THEIR HALF OF THE ABANDONMENT, SO THE COUNTY WISHES TO ASSUME THEIR HALF OF THE ABANDONMENT, WHICH MEANS THE HOUSES WOULD GET ONLY FIVE FT OF IT. OKAY SO FOR GROWING IN THEIR SEX. ALL OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS ALONG THIS STREET. THERE WILL STILL BE A RIGHT OF WAY. SO TO SAY, OR COUNTY PROPERTY, FIVE FT FROM THE EXISTING FENCE, LIGHT AND COUNTY JUST PUT UP. YES YES. YES. UM I DON'T LIKE WOULD THINK. WELL I WOULD THINK IT'S ADVANTAGEOUS FOR US AS THE CITY.
SINCE WE'RE CHOOSING TO ABANDON US TO NOTIFY THE RESIDENTS THAT THIS ATTACKS. UM WE'LL DO THAT PRIOR TO SECOND READING. OKAY UH, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. ORDINANCE NUMBER 24 70 PAST 2021. SECOND. THERE'S BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND I WILL BE WITH, UM I'VE STAYED IN FROM THIS. IS THERE ANY COMMENT BY THE PUBLIC? MS MCBRIDE. RIGHT? RIGHT PERFORMING GO AVENUE. YES MA'AM, AND THIS IS THE SUBJECT OF BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR YEARS AND YEARS. I WISH TO GOD, THE

BUT WE'RE DOING THEM ONE BY OR A LITTLE TIME BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A USE THAT WE NEED THEM FOR. WE DON'T WANT TO JUST BLANKET ABANDONED THEM. BUT THERE ARE SOME THAT WE MAY NEED AN EASEMENT FOR SOME UTILITIES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO YOU HAVEN'T HAD A BOMB IN A MISTAKEN HE'S MY C F P. N L HAS THE EASEMENT IF IT'S EVEN CITY OR PROPERTY WHEN WE LIKE THEM BY BACKYARD. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT AWAY. THEY DO THEY HAVE THESE MMA, BUT WE MIGHT NEED SOMETHING FOR OURSELVES.

MAYOR WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLACE TO POTENTIAL WITNESSES ON THE OLD BEFORE WE HAVE THE STAFF PRESENTATION. ATTORNEY. I MEAN, MAYOR MAYOR LIKE THAT'S YOU, COMMISSIONER WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND A SLEEP. I'M SORRY. I JUST I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT EVEN THOUGH SON OF THE FIRST READING SECTION THIS IS A ONE READING RESOLUTION SO IT WILL NOT BE COMING BACK. OKAY? UM CITY ATTORNEY? WELL ALL THOSE GIVING TESTIMONY, PLEASE RISE AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. SOME OF YOU ARE ALREADY
[02:20:02]
STANDING A CHIEF LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT BEFORE PEOPLE TESTIFYING. DO YOU SWEAR TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH, THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD. LET THE RECORD REFLECT. ALL FOUR TESTIFIED AFFIRMATIVELY. IF YOU COULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS WHEN TESTIFYING IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED FOR THE RECORD. THANK YOU, SIR. WELL, THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLEASE PROVIDE A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE AGENDA. HIDE THEM. THANK YOU THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY AND THE LOCATION AND ALL THE OTHER. PERTINENT MATTERS. THANK YOU, MA'AM. KEVIN FREEMAN, DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR FOR THE RECORD. THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY IS A. TRULY TRIANGULAR SHAPED SITE. BETWEEN MONTEREY ROAD AND MONTRI ROAD EXTENSION. THERE'S BEEN DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE IN THE RECENT PAST. UM THERE'S A MEDICAL OFFICE CENTER AND ALSO WE'RE SURGERY CENTER. THIS PROPOSAL. IS TO UM.ENLARGE THE PARKING. LOT BY 51 STALLS BY BUILDING CONSTRUCTION OVER EXISTING DETENTION AREAS.
INSTALLING. EX FILTRATION CHAMBERS BENEATH AND. REALIGNING THE ACCESSES. ITS OWN B TWO. SO IT'S A STRAIGHT ZONING. IT'S A MAJOR SITE PLAN. THE FUTURE LAND USE IS COMMERCIAL. WE ANALYZED THE WELL FIELD LOCATION WITH MARTIN COUNTY. IT'S WITHIN ONE OF THE.
PROTECTION ZONES, BUT IT'S WITHIN COMPLIANCE WITH MARTIN COUNTY CODE BEING MORE THAN 900 FT FROM THE WELL. THERE ARE TWO EXISTING RESOLUTIONS WHICH AFFECT THIS SITE IN PART. THE MAJOR SITE PLAN. APPROVAL WAS GRANTED BY RESOLUTION ONE ONE ZERO DASH WHAT THOSE 01. AND IT'S THIS RESOLUTION THAT REQUIRES AMENDING TO ALLOW JUSTIN CAR PARKING AREA TO BE EXPANDED. RESOLUTION. ONE ZERO FIVE DASH THERE OF NINE GREATER THAT GRANTED A MAJOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL IN 2000 AND NINE FOR THE ONE STORY SURGERY CENTER BUILDING. THE PROVISIONS OF THAT RESOLUTION WILL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT THE PROVISIONS OF THAT RESOLUTION PRIMARILY DIRECTED TO THE USE. AND LOCATION OF THAT SURGERY CENTER. SO WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE MEDICAL CENTER OPERATION IS STRUGGLING WITH PARKING ACCOMMODATION THAT MOMENT.
ANYBODY WHO'S VISITED THAT SITE, UM, RECENTLY WOULD HAVE FOUND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO PARK ON IT, AND WE SEE. PARKING OCCURRING ON THE SWALES AND WITHIN THE ROADWAYS. SO, UM. AT ONE POINT THAT I SHOULD MAKE HERE THAT ONE. THE ONE OF THESE RESOLUTIONS, UM CAN'T PARTICULARLY FIND OUT WHEN THAT DISCUSSION WAS MADE. IT PROBABLY WAS IN CONNECTION WITH 11. 0-01. GRANTED A 35 SPACE PARKING CREDIT. UM, WHICH TOOK THE. ALLOCATION OF PARKING FOR THE APPROVED SITE BELOW THAT WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR THAT USE AND NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THE PROPOSAL IS. PROPOSING TO ADD 51 PARKING STALLS. SO THAT INCREASES THE ON SITE CAPACITY AND MAINTAINS THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SITE. NOW THAT OBVIOUSLY HAS CONSEQUENCES TO VARIOUS OTHER ELEMENTS OF THE SITE. AND IN SQUEEZING THE 51 STALLS IN. WE SEE THAT THE CODE REQUIREMENT OF HAVING MAXIMUM 10 STALLS BETWEEN EACH OTHER. UM, IS NOT MET. HOWEVER THE TOTAL PARKING PROVISION OF 384 EXCEEDS THAT WHICH IS REQUIRED UNDER ZONING REGULATIONS OF 373.
IF WE CALCULATED THE PARKING THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR THE MEDICAL OFFICE. AND THE SURGERY CENTER. THE IMPERVIOUS AREA OF THE SITE WILL BE INCREASED. SO THAT. PARKING CONSTRUCTION WILL BE BUILT OVER EXISTING DETENTION AREAS. AND THAT WOULD INEFFECTIVELY LOSE THAT PERVIOUS AREA. THAT WOULD BE REPLACED BY AN UNDERGROUND STORMWATER SYSTEM. AND THE APPLICANT HAS MUCH MORE DETAIL OF THAT, AND I DO. UM, WE'LL BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE HOW THAT WORKS. THE UNDERGROUND SYSTEM WILL ALLOW THAT CIRCULATION DIRECTLY INTO THE GROUND. IT
[02:25:01]
WILL HANDLE THE SIMILAR, IF NOT MORE STORM WATER CAPACITY THAN WHAT HANDLED BY THE DETENTION AREAS. THE USE OF PROGRAM PERVIOUS PAVEMENT WITHIN THE PARKING LOT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED AND CREDIT OF 50% OF THAT MATERIAL WILL MAINTAIN AN IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE BELOW 65.FOR THE SITE. AND THAT'S ALLOWED UNDER CODE. UM, STANDARD CODE. UNDER 2.4 POINT, 03, WHICH ALLOWS 50% CREDIT FOR IMPERVIOUS, UM, PAVEMENT. SO HAVING SAID THAT, UM WE HAD TO HAVE A PRODUCT PRESENTATION FROM THE APPLICANT. UM RECENT DISCUSSIONS WILL HAVE. WE WILL REQUIRE A REVISION OF THE SITE PLAN. AS PART OF THIS APPROVAL, SO PART OF THIS THIS, UM STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO UH, RECOMMEND THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE SITE PLAN. WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT ARE AMENDED WITHIN THE RESOLUTION. AND A. AND TO REQUEST A REVISED SITE PLAN TO BE ATTACHED TO THAT RESOLUTION. UM AS AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN, I DO HAVE THE APPLICANT HERE TODAY AND THE PRESENTATION, WHICH I'LL JUST LOAD UP. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, UM. I'M JUST GOING TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE APPLICANT MAKING THEIR ARM REQUEST. I HAVE, LIKE, GUESS A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU WANT TO DO KEVIN ASKING SOME QUESTIONS? I JUST GOING TO WAIT. MY, UM. THAT'S THE WAY THIS IS CLASS CONFUSION BEFORE WHEN WE'VE HAD SO MANY COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS. AND THE APPLICANT DOESN'T GET. RIGHT THAT'S OKAY. GO ON, MR EDISON. THIS WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE TIME. WELL FOR OUR CITY STAFF QUESTIONS AND. WAS THE RESOLUTION IN 2000 AND NINE PART OF OUR AGENDA PACKET. 2000 AND NINE. YEAH, NO, IT WAS NOT. SO. WAS THERE. A PARKING VARIANTS APPROVED IN 2000 AND NINE AS WELL AS THE PARKING VARIANTS. APPROVED IN 2000 AND. ONE NO. THERE WAS NO PARKING, VARIOUS GRANTED IN 2000 AND NINE OTHER THAN. TO REFERENCE THE PREVIOUS UH, RESOLUTION OF 11. POINT. SO AS IT. IT'S STANDS NOW AND WHAT YOU JUST GAVE US WAS THAT OF THE 384 PARKING SPACES IS THAT AFTER THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS ARE COMPLETE, YES. SO RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE ABOUT. I THINK THERE'S 373 PARKING STALLS WOULD THAT COMPLY WITH THE CURRENT CALCULATIONS? OR IS THAT 30 PARKING SPACES SHORT? THAT'S THAT'S UNDER THE PARKING. BY 30 SPACES OR MORE. GOT THE WRONG NUMBER THERE SOMEWHERE. I GUESS WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS I WAS THERE. IT'S UNDER THE ZONING REQUIREMENT FOR THOSE PARTICULAR USES AT THE MOMENT.
WITH WITH THE 51 PARKING STALLS, IT WILL EXCEED THE ZONING REGULAR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE SITUATION NOW, AND I GUESS WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WE'RE CORRECTING MISTAKES IN THE PAST. DID THE. RESOLUTION IN 2000 AND. NINE FURTHER INHIBIT THE PARKING OR WAS THAT SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE SURVEY SENTENCE SURGERY CENTER ALREADY FACTORED IN. AND SO THE ORDINANCE OF 01 UH, APPROVED A SITE PLAN WHICH CARVED OUT A SECTION OF THAT SITE FOR THE SURGERY CENTER.
THE RESOLUTION OF 09 WAS IMPLEMENTING THAT CARVE OUT SO IT DID NOTHING MORE THAN PUT THIS SURGERY CENTER WHERE IT WAS PROPOSED IN WITH THE ORIGINAL RESOLUTION. IT DID NOT ADD, OR TAKE AWAY ANY PARKING WITH THAT. OKAY THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING. THANK YOU.
IN AMERICA. OKAY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR 31? MR MARK? UH I RECALL THAT I DON'T THINK YOU WEREN'T HERE AT THE TIME. BUT. 2014 2015. WE HAD RESOLUTION COME BACK REGARDING THE SURGERY CENTER AND THERE WAS AN EFFORT TIME THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION REGARDING PARKING AND I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE PACKET REGARDING. THAT AND YEAH, I DIDN'T. I DID RESEARCH ON THE SITE. I DIDN'T FIND ANY. RESOLUTION AFTER THE 2000
[02:30:03]
RECALL MEMORY RECALL THAT, UH AND I RE DO RE COST HAVING DISCUSSIONS REGARDING PARKING, BUT, UM, IN THIS STAFF REPORT TOM. THERE WAS NOTHING ABOUT A MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR THE IMPERVIOUS CONCRETE. NO THAT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE INTRODUCED THE DISCUSSION THAT WE'VE HAD DURING THE LAST. YEAH I DIDN'T. YEAH LOT OF MATERIAL THAN A CONDITION OF THE THAT WILL BE ADDED AS A CONDITION CONDITION. IT'S NOT A CONDITION NOW, BUT IT WILL BE AS A CONDITION. WELL WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU NOW IS A SITE PLAN THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY PERVIOUS THAT BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT IN THE PROPOSED CONDITIONS. YES, THAT IN THERE THAT IS NOT IN NOW, BUT IT WILL BE OKAY, SO YOU DID NOT PUT IT IN. AND THE PROPOSED CONDITIONS. IT'S NOT IN THERE NOW. AND WHAT'S PROVIDED TO US NOW? NO. OKAY, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR FREEMAN.OKAY WELL, THE PETITIONER PLEASE MAKE THEIR QUEST OF THE CITY COMMISSION. THOSE DAYS FALL ON ME. LEGAL GROUNDS. YES, SIR. COUPLE OF PEOPLE IN BACK OF ME. THAT'S PART OF THE TEAM.

ALRIGHT HERE WE GO. THAT MAKES LIFE A LITTLE EASIER, BUT WE TRY TO DO IS DELINEATE. THERE'S A UPLAND AREA. THIS IS THE CORNER THAT YOU SAW ORIGINALLY ON KEVIN'S DRAWINGS. SO THERE'S TWO THINGS HERE. ONE IS AGREEING UPLAND AREA TO THE LEFT, WHICH IS THE A PEN. THE NUMBER B IS EXACTLY THE AREAS TO THE RIGHT IS A WORTHY STORM RETENTION AREAS INTO THE AS A STORMY ATTENTION AREA ALSO. THESE ARE THE AREAS THAT WILL BE FILLED IN AND. ADDITIONAL DRAINAGE BE INSTALLED UNDERGROUND PARKING ON TOP. SO WE ALL CLEAR ON THAT. I'M SORRY.
I'M SAYING YES, I JUST WANT TO MAKE EVERY DAY. I JUST WANTED TO LET ME AND MAKE SURE THAT WE YOU COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THOSE TWO DELINEATIONS CERTAINLY WILL LET ME COME OVER HERE. SO THE LEFT PORTION IS THE UPLAND AREA THAT EXIST, UH, WITH DIFFERENT COLLEGE TREES, PINE TREES, BLACK PEPPERS. WHAT HAVE YOU UM, THAT'S A BUFFER AREA ON THE CORNER. AND THEN THE B AREA TO THE RIGHT IS THE AREAS THAT WILL HAVE THE RIGHT DETENTION AREA AND ANOTHER RETENTION AREA OF UP NORTH OF THAT. AND THOSE ARE THE AREAS WHERE WE'RE WE'LL INSTALL THE NEW DRAINAGE SYSTEM UNDERGROUND IN THE PARKING, OF COURSE ON TOP. MOVING ALONG, UM, JUST KIND OF WANTED TO MAKE IT EASIER TO VISUALIZE FREE ALL. THIS IS THE SOUTH RETENTION AREA. WE'VE GOT TO BE EXCAVATED FURTHER. AND REPLACED WITH A NEW COLTEC DRAINAGE SYSTEM. PROJECT WILL BE FINISHED THE NEWLY PAVED IN THESE AREAS. IN THIS AREA. ANOTHER SHOT JUST A DIFFERENT ANGLE. TO TRY TO EXPLAIN WHERE WE'RE GOING. NORMALLY, THESE AREAS JUST RETAINING. BASICALLY A FOOT FOOT AND A HALF OF WATER DURING THE MOST RAINY SEASON I'VE EVER SEEN. UM SO THERE REALLY IS NEVER A TIME WHERE IT FILLS UP. AND HAS ANY OVERFLOWING AREAS. NOT MUST. AGAIN JUST A DIFFERENT ANGLE OF THE SOUTH RETENTION AREA. THESE TREES THAT YOU SEE, UM WILL BE MITIGATED. AND REPLACED ON OUR LANDSCAPE PLAN. NOW THIS IS AGAIN A SHOT OF THE SOUTH RETENTION AREA FROM ANOTHER ANGLE. THE PIPE SYSTEMS YOU SEE THERE? WILL BE TAKEN OUT. AND THEN REPLACED INVOLVING THE COLTEC DRAINAGE SYSTEM. NOW THIS IS THE WEST RETENTION
[02:35:06]
AREA. THIS GOES RIGHT AGAINST THE BUFFER AND THEN TRAVELS KIND OF NORTH TO SOUTH. WE WILL CARVE THIS AREA OUT, UH, IN PROPORTION TO THE NEW DRAINAGE SYSTEM. IT WILL BE INSTALLED.AND WILL PLACE PAVING ON TOP OF THIS AREA ALSO JUST ANOTHER ANGLE. SAME AREA. JUST ANOTHER ANGLE FOR YOUR VIEWING. JUST TOOK A COUPLE OF SHOTS FOR THE HECK OF IT OF THIS BUFFER AREA.
UM TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW THAT PLACES THAT'S ON MONTEREY EXTENT EXPANSION, WHICH I'M SURE ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH MULTIPLE TIMES. THE SAME THING AGAIN THAT LITTLE BUFFER AREA OFF TO THE CORNER. THIS IS A SYSTEM THAT WILL BE INSTALLED. ANOTHER SHOT OF IT.
SIMILAR TO THIS ROCK ON THE BOTTOM HOODS ON THE TOP. UH, VOLUME. ALL THE WATER WILL DISPERSE BETWEEN THESE AREAS. IT WILL BE ACTUALLY BETTER DRAINAGE. IT'LL BE BETTER FILTERING AS IT PERMEATES DOWN INTO THE AQUIFER. BEEN ON TOP OF THIS WILL PLACE OUR ROCK ON TOP OF THIS. SORRY, NEVER ROUGH TIME WITH THIS MASK AND MY ALLOWED TO JUST PULL IT DOWN A LITTLE. UM AND THEN WE'LL GET OUR PAVING ON TOP OF THIS. THIS IS JUST A GENERAL OVERSHOT VIEW OF WHAT THE COLTEC SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE. AGAIN. FOR YOUR VIEWING. PLANS UM I PUT IN HERE JUST FOR A SLIGHT BIT OF DISCUSSION OR WHATEVER YOU MIGHT SO CHOOSE. IT SHOWS YOU THE TREE REMOVAL THAT ARE COMING OUT. IT SHOWS YOU THE REPLACEMENT TREES THAT ARE GOING IN. WHICH ARE MORE THAN CURRENTLY EXISTS. THESE ARE JUST AROUND THE PERIMETER AREAS OF THE EXISTING. OF THE EXISTING PARKING AREA, AND THEN WE LEAVE ALL THE ALL THE TREES ALONG THE EDGE OF THE SIDEWALK CLOSE TO THE ROADWAYS ALONE. SO THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF TREE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT. IT'S ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN WE CURRENTLY SUBMITTED. MORE LANDSCAPE. KIND OF THE RETENTIONS AREAS. I DON'T KNOW THAT AT THIS POINT IF YOU WANT TO, YOU KNOW HOW FORMAL YOU WANT TO GET THIS ACTUALLY SHOWS THE RETENTION AREAS. AND HOW IT COEXISTS WITH THE PARKING CURRENTLY. ANOTHER SHOT. BLOWN UP SHOT OF THAT AREA. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE NEW PARKING THAT WILL ACHIEVE THIS IS SHOWING THE PARKING SPACES ON SOUTHEAST MONTEREY ROAD EXTENSION AND ALSO THE PARKING OFF TO THE LEFT ON THE WEST PORTION. I'M SORRY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY. I'M KIND OF BLOWING THROUGH IT A LITTLE BIT. ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR. FROM ANYONE. I'VE GOT A FEW BUILT UP, BUT I CAN WAIT TILL THE END AND OKAY UP TO YOU, MASTER. MARY, I'M SORRY. THIS IS THE SYSTEM. THIS DESIGN? UH AGAIN. IT'S OVER LAID ON THE PLANS. JUST ANOTHER SHOT, ANOTHER SHOT OF THE SYSTEM DESIGN WORK. WHAT'S GOING TO BE INSTALLED? AND BRIEF SUMMARY. ADDITIONAL PARKING WILL PREVENT PARKING ON THE CONNECTED ROAD THROUGHOUT THE SITE. THERE'LL BE NO LESS VOLUME OF STORM WATER STORED WITH A NEW CALL TEXT SYSTEM. THE PRESERVE UP PLAYING GREEN AREA WILL BE MAINTAINED AT THE CORNER. THE STORM WATER WILL BE FILTERED FURTHER BEFORE DISSIPATING IN THE AQUIFER AND ALL STORMWATER BUT WILL BE MAINTAINED UNDERGROUND. ADDITIONAL TREES THAT SHOVES WOULD PLANTED. IN EXCESS OF THE CURRENT PLAN. A GUN. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. DO ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? I WANTED TO ASK. WHEN I SAW, UM.
THAT YOU WOULD BE PARKING VALET PARKING. THIS PARKING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I THINK ALL OF US HAVE BEEN THERE MANY TIMES. I KNOW I HAVE. HOW WILL YOU HANDLE THAT VALET PARKING. IT'LL CONTINUE.
UM WHERE WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR UTMOST. I'M GONNA I'M GONNA DROP BACK AND ANSWER THAT A COUPLE DIFFERENT WAYS. WHERE THE CURRENT PARKING THAT WE HAD, WE'RE GOING TO ADD THE 51.
WE'RE GOING TO DESIGNATE THOSE AREAS EMPLOYEE AND THEN ALSO THE VALLEY PARK. BECAUSE THEIR FURTHEST AWAY CURRENTLY THEY ALSO RENT C. J 35 SPACES. 30 SPACES IN THE I'M TROUBLE STORY PARKING GARAGE NEXT DOOR. UM, TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE ISSUE. SO REALLY, THAT'S KIND OF THE DESIGN OF THE THOUGHT PROCESSES THAT WILL UTILIZE THE VALET PARK THOSE CARS IN THAT AREA. YOU HAVE. POSSIBLY 100 11 EMPLOYEES. JUST AT THE SURGERY CENTER AND THE MONTEREY MEDICAL
[02:40:02]
WITH ONE GROUP. I FIGURED AND I TRIED TO BE ACCURATE. ALMOST 200 EMPLOYEES AT THAT BUILDING.GOING. SO WHICH DRIVE APART THANK YOU. MM ARE YOU FINISHED COMMERCIAL RUNNER, MR MCD OLOGY OF A QUESTION COMMISSIONER MAPS BUILT. SO. I KNOW, YOU SAID. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S NEVER FULL, BUT YOUR ENGINEER WROTE THAT IT'S BASICALLY INSUFFICIENT. THE SYSTEM RIGHT NOW FOR MAINTAINING THE WATER. TOM. AND I GUESS. THAT MAY BE ONE OF THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST. THE OTHER, I GUESS IS WE'RE TRYING TO CORRECT UP. THE PARKING VARIANTS, BUT I'M CURIOUS TO THE OTHER OPTIONS THAT THAT ARE BEING DONE. OR HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED AND CONSIDERED AND TRYING TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. I DON'T THINK ANYONE. DISAGREES THAT THERE'S AN ISSUE SO YOU SAID. YOU'RE YOU'RE RENTING SPACES FROM THE PARKING GARAGE, ITS ON SITE. YOU'RE DOING THE VALET PARKING NOW. UM. I FORGOT IT. YOU SAY IF YOU LOOKED ON OFF SITE OR WHAT OTHER YOU KNOW? THEORIES HAVE YOU TESTED OR OPTIONS? HAVE YOU LOOKED AT. FOR PARKING. ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA ANSWER THAT TWO WAYS. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WE'VE TRIED TO DO OR FOR CURRENT THE CURRENT PARKING SITUATION BECAUSE AS CONSTRUCTION OCCURS, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE AWAY SOME OF THE EXISTING PART. WHICH IS EVEN EXACERBATE THE SITUATION MORE SO I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
OUR COMPANY. TREASURE GOES ASPHALT MAINTENANCE. THERE'S A LOT OF WORK FOR REGENCY ACROSS THE STREET FROM NOBLE PROPERTIES ON THE LEFT SIDE WHEN DIXIE FOR COUNT OVER PROPERTIES ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR CARL'S GMC SO WE'VE GOT THAT CORNER ENVELOPED THE REASON I'M SAYING THAT AS WE HAVE BEEN ON A SEARCH FOR C. J. I BELIEVE SIX MONTHS TRYING TO RENT PARKING SPACES ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO. THEY DON'T WANT THE LIABILITY FOR IT. FOR ONE REASON, THE OTHER AND IT'S BEEN WE'VE BEEN PROHIBITED FROM GOING ANYWHERE ELSE TO RENT SPACE. WE RE IN GONE SO FAR AS TO IS TO IN THE SHUTTLE. AND SHUTTLING BACK AND FORTH, IF POSSIBLE, YOU KNOW TO WHATEVER WHATEVER IS, WE COULD RENT. NOW THE REASON I MENTIONED EARLIER IS WE'VE DONE WORK IS. AS A CONTRACTOR FOR ALL THOSE AREAS THAT I JUST MENTIONED WHERE THE PLANET FITNESS IS. WE'VE REPAID THAT RESEALED IT SEVERAL TIMES.
CONOVER ACROSS THE STREET WE REPAID. SIX YEARS AGO IN CERTAIN AREAS. SO CARL'S GMC THAT'S OUR WORK. WE JUST HEAR ACROSS THE STREET, AS ARE WE. A LITTLE BIT OF A RELATIONSHIP, AND WE DO, BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT THAT TYPE OF LIABILITY. SO MAYBE THAT KIND OF. HELPS EXPLAIN THAT QUESTION AND WHERE WE'VE GONE. AT THIS POINT WE DON'T THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS. NOT THAT I CAN FIGURE. OR NOT, THAT THE OWNER COULD FIGURE OUT SO NONE OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS ARE WILLING TO. WORK WITH YOU KNOW? PARKING OFF SITE IN A SHUTTLE AND THEN YOU'VE EXPLORED PARKING GARAGE CORRECT. WHICH HAS COST FOR HIM. OKAY YES, THE PARKING GARAGE ITSELF. NOW I CAN TELL YOU THAT. THE CITY. HAS. CONTROL OF THE FUNERAL HOME AND CONTROLS THE LEASE ON THE FUNERAL HOME, WHICH HAS ABOUT 56 BASES ON IT IF I DO RECALL MIGHT HAVE APPROACHED THE CITY. AND SAID, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN STEP AND GET INVOLVED AND GO BACK TO THAT LEASE AND WHO IT'S WITH? AND ALLOW US TO RENT THOSE SPACES THAT WASN'T SUCCESSFUL, SUCCESSFUL AND FOR THE RECORD, THE CITY DOES NOT CONTROL THE FUNERAL HOME. THIS FUNERAL HOME IS IN A LONG TERM LAND LEASE AND THE. UH TENANT OF THAT LEAST CONTROLS THE FUNERAL HOME. OKAY? SIMILAR TO SOME OF THE CITY PROPERTY ACROSS THE STREET. THAT'S AT LEAST BY DIFFERENT KINDS OF STORAGE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. THEY'RE UNDER A LEASE, AND WE CAN CONTROL THEM. UM. I'D PROBABLY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOUR ENGINEER. OR IS HE GOING TO DISCUSS THE. I'VE INTRODUCED DAN HOLT. SURE. GOOD EVENING. MR HOLT? YES, SIR. UH, YOUR REPORT WAS. WELL DONE THE TOP OF PAGE FIVE. IN YOUR FIRST PARAGRAPH. YOU BASICALLY STATE THAT THE EXISTING CAPACITIES AND SUFFICIENT. THAT'S CORRECT. WHEN I RAN THROUGH MY ANALYSIS,
[02:45:02]
UM, COUPLE OF THINGS CAME TO LIGHT VERY QUICKLY. THOSE TWO PONDS WE USED THE WORD POND IS A RETENTION AREA. UH IS ABOUT 20.5 ACRE FEET OF STORAGE. FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM. I DON'T WANT TO. YES YES, I AM. UM WHEN I RAN MY ANALYSIS, CAN YOU. FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE AUDIENCE OR EVERYONE ELSE. UM, SURE, EXPLAINING. ONE ACRE FOOT OF STORAGE IS A NEGATIVE WATER ONE FT HIGH. ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE ABOUT A HALF ACRE THERE HALF ACRE. FOOT OF WATER ON. MY ANALYSIS TOLD ME THAT WE NEEDED ABOUT 0.75 ACRE FEET. TO CARRY WHAT WE NEED TO DO. ALL RIGHT NOW I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT POND WAS DESIGNED INCORRECTLY. BUT WHEN YOU WHEN YOU SAW THE PICTURES BEFORE THAT IS NOT THE NORMAL PICTURE THAT I EXPECT TO SEE A RETENTION AREA. THE SLOPES ARE GRADED DIFFERENTLY. THERE'S MORE FLAT AREAS IN THERE. THERE'S MORE DETAIL ADDED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF IT. AND SOME OF THAT MAY JUST BE. TIME AND WHERE WHERE YOU KNOW BELIEVES BUILD UP. THE WAS FALLING. WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, OR THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN BUILT, ACCORDING TO THE PLAN, AS APPROVED, INITIALLY, WHO KNOWS, AND IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT POINTING FINGERS. IT'S. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE RUN OFF SITUATION AND HOW DO WE ADDRESS THE PROBLEM? ALL RIGHT. THOSE LAKES ARE THOSE PONDS ARE AT THE HIGHER END OF THE PROPERTY. SO EVERYTHING EVERYTHING KIND OF DRAINS IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION, COUNTER CLOCKWISE DIRECTION. SO OUR PONDS ON OUR SIDE OF THE SHALLOWEST GOES AROUND BEHIND THE HOSPITAL. AND IT COMES AROUND THE FRONT AND DISCHARGES AT THAT END ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. SO BECAUSE OF WHERE THEY ARE, THEY'RE NATURALLY SHALLOWER. IF THERE WERE ANY DEEPER THAN NEVER DRAINED, THEY'D ALWAYS HOLD WATER, SO THEY WERE KIND OF BACKED INTO A CORNER ON HOW TO MAKE THOSE PONDS WORK. AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I SAW. OF WHAT WOULD PREVENT. YOU KNOW, FOR THE BENEFIT EVERYONE. FOR YOU TO JUST DIG 1 50 FT HOLE. THAT'S 10 FT. WIDE. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN YOU GOT THAT DEEP? WELL IF WE DID 50 FT, WE'D BE WE'D BE DOWN BELOW ANY WATER TABLES THAT WE KNOW ABOUT THEIR AND THE BORDER WOULD NOT DRAIN. IT WOULD JUST BE A PAWNED THAT DOES KNOW WHAT CUMULATION OF WATER JUST HOLDS THE WATER THAT'S IN THE GROUND. UH HUH. I MEAN, THE CLOSEST IS IT RIGHT THAT THE CLOSER YOU GET TO THE WATER TABLE. THE LESS PERCOLATION. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A CERTAIN POINT YOU'RE GOING TO HIT THE WATER TABLE AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE ZERO PARTICULAR CIRCULATION AND IN THIS PARTICULAR SOIL TYPE, IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT 10 FT. WHEN YOU HIT. BASICALLY BETTER NOT THAT ROUGH, BUT A SOLID.MASSIVE SAND AND IT DOESN'T MOVE ANY FURTHER THAN THAT. OKAY? UM SO. RIGHT NOW WITH THE DRIVER. ATTENTION AREAS YOU'VE GOT BASICALLY FROM THE SOD. UP TO THE TOP OF THE TRANSFER THE STORM WATER TRANSFER PIPES OR EVEN UP TO THE GRADE BEFORE YOU HAVE ANY WATER OVERFLOWING, CORRECT. THAT'S THE VOLUME YOU MEASURED OUT TO GET TO THE HALF ACRE AND THE ISSUE THERE AND SOME OF THE OTHER, THAT'S YOU KNOW. THAT POND RIGHT THERE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS ROUGHLY THREE FT. DEEP. MM ALRIGHT UNITS THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN STARTED FOUR FT. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE ALREADY ADDING A FOOT OF STORAGE AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING GRAVEL AROUND IT. SO THAT GIVES US MORE STORAGE. UH, A LOT MORE UNITS THAN WHAT THAT THING CAN HOLD. RIGHT NOW. THAT'S WHY WE'RE EXPANDING. WHAT'S THE DEPTH OF THE WATER TABLE UNDER THERE? YOU KNOW, I DID LOOK AT THE CODE THAT THE RESULTS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, AND IT WAS SOMETHING IN THE ORDER OF SIX FT. SIX. FT. YEAH. NOW. SO WE'RE GOING TO LOSE A FOOT GOING DOWN. TOWARDS THAT WATER TABLE. WHAT IN THE PLANS IS GOING ON TOP OF THE CULT TECH SYSTEM. HOW MANY FEET IS THAT? IT'S JUST A FOOT, ROUGHLY A FOOT, MOST OF ITS GRAVEL SOME OF ITS ASPHALT. SO WE'LL LOSE A FOOT GOING DOWN IN A FOOT ON TOP. AS FAR AS. THE RATE WATER WOULD PERCOLATE TOWARDS THE WATER TABLE. I MEAN IF TRUE, I MEAN THE REASON THAT WE HAVE THE VOLUME THAT WAS TOO IT'S LIKE A SAFETY VALVE. WE CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON THE PERCOLATION WORKING. YOU KNOW WHAT I GET SATURATED INTO THE GROUND AND IT WON'T TAKE ANY MORE SO BY GIVING US MORE VOLUME. WE'RE ALLOWED TO KIND OF SPREAD OUT THE LOAD. OKAY? AND WHAT ABOUT.
THE. WELL I GUESS ANOTHER QUESTION THAT CAME TO MY MIND. WHAT'S THE POTENTIAL AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS SYSTEM AS FAR AS WATER TRANSFERRING. THROUGH THE SYSTEM ONCE YOU PAVE OVER IT, HOW DO YOU CLEAN THE HOLES BETWEEN EACH. THE WAY THE WAY YOU SET THESE UP IS CATCH BASINS THAT ARE LEADING DRAINAGE INTO THESE THINGS HAVE WHAT THEY CALL US. SOME. WHICH WILL CAN ACCUMULATE ANY SAND DEBRIS THAT MAKE IT WASHED OUT ONTO THE ROADWAY AND INTO THE
[02:50:04]
SYSTEM. AND THEN EACH OF THOSE UNITS PLACE WHERE A PIPE COMES INTO THESE UNITS. THERE'S AN INSPECTION, BUT PORT. WHERE WE CAN PUT IN A BASICALLY A BACK HOME BACKHOES. SIMILAR TO LIKE A GENERATION TO BAFFLE BOX. YES, OKAY. UM AND THE PROPOSAL THAT'S BEFORE US TODAY. NOTHING WOULD BE PERVIOUS. SORRY SAY THAT AGAIN. NOTHING. NONE OF THE ADDITION. SO ALL WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW IS ALL PERVIOUS SURFACE RIGHT, SO THE WATER WHEN IT HITS THAT WOULD PERCOLATE DOWN. ONCE IT HITS AND GO TO THE WATER TABLE, EVENTUALLY, UM THE PROPOSAL IS.TO MAKE THAT ALL IMPERVIOUS. BASICALLY YES. OKAY AND THEN HOW DO YOU CALCULATE FOR EVAPORATION IN THE CALCULATIONS? WE DON'T CONSIDER THE OPERATION BECAUSE IT'S TOO SMALL. FOR WHAT WE DO, OKAY? OF COURSE, IT'S BASED ON YOU KNOW, THE HUMIDITY LEVELS AND SO ON. SO IT'S JUST YEAH. UM. UH I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THIS POINT. MADAM.
THERE. UM OKAY. I DID NOT MEAN IS JOE CAPPER HERE, MR FREEMAN. AND I HAVE AS A CONSULTANT FOR US OR FOR THEM. ARE YOU ASKING? A QUESTION FROM JOE CAPPER WAS FROM CAP TECH WAS THE CITY OF STEWART'S CONSULTING. THERE WAS A VERY BRIEF FOR A SENTENCE OR TWO. UM. IN THE STAFF REPORT, BUT NOT MUCH ABOUT IT. YEAH, OKAY, SO I HAD MY COMMENTS. SO YOU'VE GONE AND YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT THE HISTORY OF YOU'VE ASKED MR FREEMAN ABOUT THE HISTORY. AND WE HAVE A PROJECT.
WE HAVE TO MAJOR BUILDING. WE HAVE THE ORIGINAL MONTEREY TRIANGLE. WELL, WE HAVE ALL THE OTHER PROPERTIES ON THEIR COURSE BUT NOT NOT OWNED BY THEM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE'S THE SUN JUST BANK WHICH THEY USE, AND THERE'S A RESTAURANT IN THE CBS AND SO ON. WATER RUNS EVERYWHERE AND RUNS TO WHEREVER IT'S STRANGE TO RUN WHEN WE HAVE THESE, UM, PURPOSE AREAS, UM, AN IMPERVIOUS AREAS. SO THIS PROPERTY TO ME. UM SEEMS TO HAVE THE. MOST GREEN SPACE IN THAT WHOLE ENTIRE UM, AREA BECAUSE, LIKE I SAID, WATER DOESN'T JUST STOP AT ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY IN ANOTHER, IT'S GOING TO COME FROM THEIR PARKING LOT AND FROM THE ROAD AND SO ON. AND TOWARDS THE WEST OF THIS PROPERTY IS WE'RE ALL THE ACTION IS HAPPENING. AND. THEY'RE GETTING WATER. BUT THEN THE MAIN THING IS THAT THEY WANT MORE PARKING SPACES. AND I THINK I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE ALLUDING TO IT OR IF YOU ASK IT BECAUSE I HAD TO LEAVE THE ROOM, BUT YOU, YOU ASK ABOUT THE PREVIOUS HISTORY AND THE APPROVAL. AND I'VE HAD COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC OR SANE. IF WE APPROVE. X AMOUNT 100,000 SQUARE FEET OR 80,000 SQUARE FEET FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDING WITH A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES. AND MAYBE IT'S A LAYOUT AND THEY HAVE MORE DOCTORS IN THERE WITH MORE PATIENTS OR WHATEVER. THAT THEY END UP HAVING MORE PEOPLE COMING IN VERSUS WHAT THE TYPICAL LAYOUT WILL BE. I MEAN, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SQUARE FOOTAGE, BUT BECAUSE YOU MAY HAVE A BUILD OUT THAT HAS. MORE BUSINESSES IN THERE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A GROUP OF DOCTORS BUT THEY HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS GOING ON IN THERE, INCLUDING THE SURGICAL CENTER. UM WHY IS IT THAT THERE SHOULD BE ANY NEW CONCESSIONS WHEN. THEY'VE I GUESS THE BUSINESS HAS GROWN AND EXPANDED AND THEY'VE CREATED. THEY NEED, THE MORE THEY JUST NEED MORE PARKING SPACES, AND IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS BECAUSE THEY'VE RENTED PARKING SPACE FROM SUNTRUST, AND THEY'VE HAD PARKING ALONG THE. SIDE OF THE ROAD THEY'RE EVEN THINKING ARE CONTEMPLATED. MAYBE TRYING TO REQUEST USING SOME OF THE CITY'S PROPERTY ON THE OTHER SIDE OR THE CITY THAT THE CITY HAS LEASED THE. TO THE FUNERAL HOME. MADAM MAYOR. YES DO WE WANT JUST TO STAY ON THE QUASI JUDICIAL. RIGHT ORDERED. SHOULD WE CLUB? NO NO. BECAUSE EVIDENCE QUESTION. I'M BRINGING UP MY QUESTION. I'M TALKING TO MR FREEMAN. ASSAULT WITH REGARD TO THAT HISTORY, MR FREEMAN AND ALL THESE THINGS. THE ISSUE IS. HALL IS IT CALCULATED? AND WHEN
[02:55:02]
IS IT THAT WE GIVE THIS? CONSIDERATION THAT WE'RE DOING NOW BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE PUBLIC IS INTERESTED IN THEIR THINKING THAT THERE SHOULD BE A LIMIT THAT WE SHOULD HAVE. UM BECAUSE THIS THE YOU KNOW THE BECAUSE OF THE NEED FOR THE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACE. I GUESS PEOPLE JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT QUESTION OF WHERE WE STAND IN OUR. LAND DEVELOPMENT CALLED AS TO THAT AND THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. MR I'M SORRY THAT YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET TO MR. ALL RIGHT. PLACE MAY WANT TO MAKE SURE YEAH, WE'RE ON POINT. WE WEREN'T. DELIBERATING I GUESS NO, WE'RE NOT DELIBERATED. I'M ASKING A QUESTION, OKAY? SO THE ORIGINAL, UM, APPROVAL FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT? ACTUALLY GAVE A PARKING REDUCTION EXEMPTION IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT AROUND 35 SPACES. SOME INSTEAD OF THE 373 THAT IT WOULD BE REQUIRING THERE WAS 35 LESS THAN THAT. SO THE 373 WOULD BE THE ZONING REQUIREMENT FOR THESE USES IN THIS DEVELOPMENT. IT DOES NOT HAVE THAT. THE ADDITION OF THE 51 TO WHAT WE HAVE ACTUALLY, THEN TAKES IT TO 200. AND SORRY, 384, WHICH IS MORE THAN THE CODE WOULD REQUIRE FOR THESE PARTICULAR USES IF THEY CAME IN TODAY. SO. THIS PROPOSAL ACTUALLY GOES ABOVE WHAT WOULD NORMALLY BE REQUIRED FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SIZE.AND THE USE AND THE PARKING REQUIRED FOR THOSE USES. OKAY ALL RIGHT, BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO ASK THAT QUESTION RIGHT WHEN WE'RE HERE, OKAY. SO, UM. DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT THEY WANT TO PRESENT THE MAYOR? I SHOULD ALSO TELL YOU THAT THE CODE HAS A MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR PARKING THE CODE DOESN'T RESTRICT SOMEONE. FROM BUILDING 1000 EXTRA PARKING SPACES. THERE'S NOTHING IN THE CODE, TELLING A AN OWNER OF PROPERTY THAT THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BUILD PARKING. IT'S THE OTHER WAY. IT'S A MINIMUM REQUIREMENT. MADAM MAYOR REQUEST TO BUILD PARKING. IT'S NOT A REQUEST TO DEVIATE FROM PARKING. OKAY, THANK YOU. YEAH. JUST COMMISSIONER. UM. THERE WAS NOTHING IN YOUR PRESENTATION REGARDING MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM. HOW'S IT MAINTAINED? ACTUALLY, WE DID TALK IS THIS STOLEN? WE DID TALK ABOUT IT BRIEFLY, BASICALLY, THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM THAT WE'RE INSTALLING WILL HAVE SOME WITHIN THE CATCH BASINS, WHICH ACCUMULATES AND COLLECTS THE SILT AND SAND. AND ROUTINELY SHOWS UP ON PAVEMENT. AND SO WHAT DO YOU DO THAT VACUUM TRUCK ATTACK THAT OUT? AND HOW OFTEN DOES THAT NEED TO BE DONE? WELL YOU KNOW WHAT IT FLUCTUATES, BUT IT'S USUALLY EVERY SIX MONTHS. OKAY SO WHO IN? IS THAT? SOMETHING THAT YOU ALL DO? OKAY, SO I FOUND IT. I WAS DOING SO. SO TO ANSWER HIS QUESTION FOR I KNOW YOU HEARD HIM, BUT HE NEEDS TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION ON THE RUN. NO, I UNDERSTAND. OKAY THE ANSWER IS NO. THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE WOULD LOOK FOR AN OUTSIDE SOURCE. OKAY? AND, UM AND SO.
AND YOU'RE UTILIZING PERVIOUS PAINT PAVEMENT. YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT USING ARE NOT CURRENTLY.
NO. OKAY SURE. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO USE PERVIOUS PAVEMENT. IT'S JUST GOING TO GO ON TO CATCH BASINS AND BAFFLE BOXES. BUT WE ALSO DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH USING PERVIOUS OF THAT REQUIRED. NO, THAT'S NO NO. MY NEXT QUESTION IS YOU TALKED ABOUT THE 35 SPACES AT THE, UH, AT THE SUN TRUST OR THE PARKING GRADUATE IS THAT THERE COULD BE A LEAST THAT'S CONTINUED. UM, I HAVE TO ASK. I'M GOING TO DEFER THAT. HERE HERE HERE. HERE'S MY THING IS THAT I SIT THERE AND YOU MENTIONED ONE OF THE ONE OF THE MEDICAL GROUP SAYS 111. 110 POINT. WHATEVER IT IS, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO THEY HAD 10 DOCTORS. THEY HAVE 20 DOCTORS NOW AND THEY HAVE.
12 PHYSICIAN'S ASSISTANTS AND THE OTHER MEDICAL PRACTICES. UH AS THEY'RE CONSOLIDATING, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE. THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT. UH YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ADDING LOTS AND LOTS OF SERVICES. AS AND SO NOW THEY ARE CREATING THEIR OWN PARKING PROBLEM. UM. AND I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THAT THAT YOU KNOW ALL WE'RE DOING IS. UM WE'RE GONNA PROVE 51 SPACES. AS A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE ONCE THEY'RE BUILT, 35 SPACES ARE GONNA THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, WELL, WE DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR THOSE ANYMORE. OVER THERE. NOBODY REALLY WANTS TO PARK THERE AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO BE RIGHT BACK WHERE WE'RE AT, BECAUSE ONCE THOSE 35 SPACES.
GO AWAY IN THE PARKING GARAGE. NOW WE'VE USED UP 35 51. YOU'RE NO BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE. I
[03:00:07]
THINK THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD ONE. YES. I MEAN, HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU STOP GROWING? HOW DO YOU STOP? NOT ABOUT STOPPING BOTH. BUT IT'S I I'M I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION OR YOU'RE ACTUALLY IT'S A STATEMENT. IT'S NOT A QUESTION. OH, BABY. IT'S A LITTLE BIT RHETORICAL, BECAUSE. BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF CRYSTAL BALL. I MEAN, BUT. I WAS TOLD, YOU KNOW THAT ONE ANOTHER TIME THAT THERE WAS PLENTY OF PART WHEN THEY BUILT THE SURGERY CENTER. SO I'M JUST JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU AGAIN, OKAY, SAID. I THINK THAT MY QUESTION WAS SIMILAR TO YEARS WITH REGARD TO THE HISTORY WITH REGARD TO THE AMOUNT OF THERE AND THEN ALL THE DIFFERENT YOU CALLED HIM ADDITIONAL DOCTORS OR WHATEVER THE DIFFERENT BUSINESSES INSIDE THERE. POSE THAT HAS CREATED THIS ARM. THIS ADDITIONAL NEED FOR THE SPARKING, UM. DOES THE PETITIONER WISH TO PRESENT ANY OTHER INFORMATION OR HAVE ANY OF YOUR OTHER EXPERTS SAY ANYTHING TO US? UM I WOULD JUST SAY IN SUMMARY, THIS IS THIS IS A. AN ISSUE THAT IS GOOD KNOWN OF FOR QUITE SOME TIME THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. MENTION ISSUE THAT CERTAINLY. MM. THE FLORIDA ORTHOPEDIC AND THE OWNER. IS TRYING TO RECTIFY UNDER THE CURRENT STANDARDS. AND SUPPLY THE CITY WITH, YOU KNOW, PARKING THAT IS. BENEFICIAL PARKING THAT WORKS AND WITHIN THEIR COATS. SO I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU APPROVE THIS. PLEASE. UPSET. FULL COLUMN IS BRUNO. LET'S HEAR THEM. SHE WANTS. DID YOU TALK? OKAY? OR EXPLAIN SKIP DESIGN ASSOCIATE MM. SO WITH REGARDS TO THE NEW AREA. WE ARE WE ARE REMOVING SOME TREES, BUT WE ADDING. LARGE NUMBER OF TREES TO THE SPACE. HAVE SOME OF IT. DID YOU MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS, OF COURSE BUT OVERALL, THE SITE WILL HAVE MORE TREES ON IT. AFTER WE DO THIS, THEN IT HAS NOW. WE ALSO NOT IMPACTING THE OF LAND AREA. AND REALLY BE OUR ONLY ADDING TECHNICALLY, TALKS SPACES BECAUSE WE'RE FIXING. A SITUATION THAT WAS CREATED BY A VERY INS WAY BACK WHEN. THINGS WERE DONE DIFFERENT. I MEAN, THE MEDICAL FIELD TODAY WORKS DIFFERENT THAN IT DID. YEARS AGO, 15 YEARS AGO, AND THAT'S I THINK ABOUT THIS IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH BUT I'M A LANDSCAPE POINT OF VIEW. WE'RE NOT LOSING ANYTHING WE'RE ACTUALLY ENHANCING AND ADDING TO DECIDE AS IT STANDS. I HAVE DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR HER? SORRY. TRUMP. PUT YOUR BROTHER WE CAN'T HEAR YOU. ALL RIGHT. WHAT I WANTED TO SAY WAS THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY OR TRYING TO GET MORE SPACE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. WHETHER, UH, THEY NEED MORE DOWN THE LINE. THAT'S NOT MY BUSINESS, AND I DON'T THINK THIS MAN THE LANDSCAPE GUY, AND THAT'S NOT HIS CONCERN. MM. PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY COULD GOING IF. THEY DON'T LIKE THE WAY IT'S BEING RUN OR HOW MANY PARKING SPACES SO YOU'RE YOU'RE RIGHT. WE NEED THE PARKING SPACES. AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY. MADAM MAYOR, I THINK YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT. YOU'RE ADDING MORE TREES. UM I'M SURE. YOU'VE GONE OVER OUR TREATMENT OF GATIEN AND. OUR REQUIREMENTS FOR THAT MITIGATION FOR DIAMETER AT BREAST HEIGHT TO THE NUMBER OF TREES ARE BEING REMOVED AND ADDED, SO. ARE YOU? MEETING OUR TREATMENT, IRRIGATION CALCULATIONS OR EXCEEDING THEM.WE ARE MEETING THEM. THERE'S ONLY SO MANY TREES YOU CAN SQUEEZE ON A SITE AND SO WE ARE. WE ARE MAKING A DONATION TO THE FUND. I MEAN, WE'RE PAYING INTO THE FUND BECAUSE NOT ALL THE MITIGATION CAN BE MET ON SIDE. BECAUSE I MEAN WE COULD TRY TO I COULD TRY TO MEET IT BY SPECIFYING LARGE TREES. BUT IN TODAY'S MARKET. IT IS I, UH, I PREFER NOT TO BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET LARGE MATERIAL ANYMORE. AND I'D HATE TO SPECIFY A SIX INCH TREE WHEN I CAN'T BUY IT. SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT'S WHY I'M KEEPING IT IN A REASONABLE FOREIGN SIZE. UM THERE WILL BE SOME SOME MONEY PAID INTO THE FUND TO MEET THE ULTIMATE MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS. WOULD YOU SAY, THEN YOU FACTORED IN COST TO YOUR CALCULATIONS, AND THAT'S NO, IT'S MORE. IT'S NOT COST. IT'S MORE LIKE IF I SPECIFY A SIX INCH TREE. AND I
[03:05:04]
CANNOT BUY IT. CAME A YEAR FROM NOW ARE SIX MONTHS FROM THEM WHEN IT IS TIME TO BUILD IT, AND IT IS NOT AVAILABLE. I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE CITY AND SAY OKAY, I CAN'T MEET THIS REQUIREMENT NOW. AND I NOW HAVE TO CHANGE THE PLAN AND PAYING THE DEFUND ANYWAY, SO I PREFER TO BE REALISTIC OF WHAT IS AVAILABLE OUT IN THE MARKET. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE MARKET.IF ORANGE IS ABOUT AS BIG AS A TREE IS YOU CAN BUY NOWADAYS THEY JUST BECAUSE BUILDING IS INSANE. EVERYWHERE IN THIS IN THIS, I WOULD. HAVE TO GET YOU IN TOUCH WITH OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR, MR TROTSKY, UM. WE JUST DIDN'T STALL OVER THE STATE, AND WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM EVERYWHERE. AND YES, THERE MIGHT BE SOME NURSERY WHERE HAVE A LITTLE BIT, BUT OVERALL, EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR THESE BIG TREES. IN AUTUMN SCIENCE, SO THAT DEMAND FOR THEM IS CRAZY. AND SO. I LIKE I SAID, I COULD CHANGE THE PLAN AND MEET IT ALL ON SITE. BUT TO ME, THAT WOULD BE A PAPER PLAN. THAT IS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE. OH ASK. SHALL I UNDERSTAND? I GUESS I JUST WANTED TRYING TO KEEP IT ALL IN TERMS OF A QUESTION. UM AND WHEN I LOOK AT THE PLAN. IT PROBABLY IS NOT FEASIBLE TO PUT A. 20 YEAR OLD OAK TREE, WHICH THE CITY JUST PUT IT SHEPHERDS PARK. AT THIS LOCATION. KNOW THAT TREE THOUGH. HAD 1/6 16 INCH DIAMETER AT BREAST TIME. AND SO WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE ADDING MORE TREES THAN YOU'RE TAKING AWAY.
I WAS JUST GOING FOR THE CLARIFICATION THAT. WHILE YOU'RE DOING THAT, THOUGH, WE BASE THE TREATMENT OF GATIEN ON DIAMETER AT BREAST HEIGHT AND AT THE END OF THE DAY. YOU'RE STILL HAVING TO PAY INTO OUR TREE MITIGATION FUND BECAUSE WHAT'S BEING REMOVED AS MUCH OLDER, RIGHT AND LARGER TREES, THEN WHAT'S GOING TO BE PROPOSED TO BE ADDED RIGHT? SO THE NUMBER OF TREES IS ONE THING, BUT THE CALIPER BREAST HEIGHT. NO IS DIFFERENT.
CORRECT? IT IS BUT AT THE SAME TOKEN, IF YOU HAVE MORE TREES FROM A CANOPY POINT OF VIEW, WHICH IS REALLY KIND OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE MOST IS TO HAVE SHADE OVER PARKING AREA. UM, NEIGHBORS BACK THERE. WE'RE REPLACING CANOPY FOR CANADA. YES, YOU'RE RIGHT. THE GBH WILL NOT BE CANNOT BE MET. REASONABLY ON SITE. OF. UM MEANING THAT'S WHY FOR THE MITIGATION BECAUSE THE MITIGATION IS IT'S NOT ONLY YOU GOT TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU'RE TAKEN OUT OF TENANTS TREAT YOUR MITIGATING 20 INCHES. I I'M YOUR FAMILIAR ACTUALLY PUTTING BACK AS MANY TBH AS WE TAKE OUT, BUT WE'RE NOT MEETING THE ADDITIONAL MITIGATION THAT WE NEED TO MEET. WOULD THEREFORE. I HAVE TO CALCULATE IT, SO I DON'T WANT TO, LIKE BE HELD TO THE ACTUAL NUMBER. BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THAT WE THANK YOU, UH, TBH PLANTED. THEN WHAT? WE'RE TAKING OUT. I UNDERSTAND OUR CALCULATIONS. I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR. YEAH, AND ONE FINAL COMING OUT THE SAME. WE'RE NOT MEETING THE ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION, ALL OF IT. ONE SIDE. WE'RE MEETING A LOT OF IT. YES. SO. ONE FINAL QUESTION. DOES IT 20 INCH DIAMETER. TREE HAVE MORE OR LESS SHADE THAN A 10 INCH DIAMETER TREE OF THE SAME HEIGHT. WELL. 22 INCH DIAMETER TREE. IT'S GONNA HAS A BIGGER CANOPY. BUT WHEN IF I PLANT NOW TO ACTUALLY I WOULD BE PLANTING FIVE. FOR INCH TREES. THEN WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT THIS, YOU KNOW, IN IN MITIGATION, BECAUSE FOR THE TENANTS FOR THE 20 INCH TREE, I'D HAVE TO COME UP WITH 40 INCHES OF MEDICATION. SO. FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S NO BIG TREE LIKE THAT OUT THERE. ALL IN THE 8 TO 10 INCH RANGE. THANK YOU, UM OR NOT. IT INTO THAT BUT MOVING A TREE. PARTICULARLY ITSELF, FOR EXAMPLE, I COULD SAY I COULD RELOCATE SOME OF THESE STREETS FROM SIGHT. BUT. MOVING A TREE FROM A PARKING SITUATION IS REALLY DIFFICULT BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO CREATE A ROOT BALL. THAT IS ACTUALLY MAKE THE TREES SURVIVE LONG RANGE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET A BIG TREE SPADE AND THEN YOU YOU HAVE A FIVE AND FIVE FT. 10 OR 10, FT ISLAND, SO IT'S JUST. IT'S DIFFICULT AND PROBABLY NOT. SUCCESSFUL, MA'AM, YOU'VE ANSWERED MY QUESTION. I'M I'M FAMILIAR CUE. THANK YOU. UM DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER EVIDENCE TO PRESENT TO US? ONE THING I FEEL COMPELLED TO READ THIS FROM. OUR CLIENT WHO'S IN THE ROOM.
ONE WOULD CONSIDER ARMORED CLIENTS SOUTH ORDER OF THE P DICKS. IF YOU DON'T MIND MY READING THIS AND I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S LATE SOUTH FLORIDA. THE PD X AND
[03:10:01]
SPORTS MEDICINE WAS INSTRUMENTAL AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE MONTERREY MEDICAL CENTER OPENING. OUR OFFICE IS IN THE SPRING OF 2000 AND THREE SO IT'S IN OUR PRACTICE AND MEDICAL PRACTICE OF OTHER BUILDING OCCUPANTS IF WE CONTINUE TO GROW. AS AN ORTHOPEDIC PRACTICE OR PATIENTS ARE PRIMARILY ELDERLY AND WITH LIMITED MOBILITY, USING WALKERS AND CRUTCHES, ONCE IN MONTEREY MEDICAL CENTER BECAME FULLY OCCUPIED. PARKING PRESSURES HAVE INCREASED. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ALLEVIATE THESE PROBLEMS FOR PATIENTS RELOCATE EMPLOYEE PARKING OFF SITE PAINT POLICE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES ON THE TOP DECK OF SUNTRUST. AND UNSUCCESSFULLY ATTEMPTED TO FIND ADDITIONAL PARKING AND ADJACENT VACANT LOTS, RETAIL SHOPPING PLAZAS AND MORE. AND ALSO PAYING TO PROVIDE. PATIENT VALET SERVICE FOR FREE ON SITE. OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS ALWAYS BEEN STRIVING TO PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT PATIENT EXPERIENCE AND MAINTAIN OUR REPUTATION. OUR COMMUNITY. EASY ACCESSIBILITY TO OUR OFFICE TO CARE FOR OUR PATIENTS HAS BECOME AN ISSUE AND THE PRIMARY COMPLAINT AND CONCERN OF ALL OF OUR PATIENTS ARE MANY OF OUR PATIENTS. CONVENIENCE AND EASE OF ACCESS ARE IMPORTANT TO OUR CONTINUED SUCCESS. AS A BUSINESS WITHIN THE CITY OF STEWART. WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING FOR PATIENTS. THANK YOU SIGNED WILLIAM KARLSSON, M D PRESIDENT, MANAGING PART. AND WITH US ALL CLOSED BECAUSE THIS PROJECT AGAIN IN THE IN THE IN THE END, IS ADDING 16 SPACES TO WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY DONE WITH THE ORIGINAL PROJECT. I THINK IT'S PART OF THEM. YOU, CAN YOU GRANNY IS OUR REQUEST. WOULD BE FURTHERING THE OPERATION OF WHAT'S CURRENTLY THERE. AND FOR THE ADDITIONAL PEOPLE THAT TAKE TENANCY IN THE BUILDING. IF THERE ARE CONDITIONS AS THE PERVIOUS, WHICH I'VE DISCUSSED WITH SEVERAL OF YOU, IF THAT MIGHT BE A CONDITION, I ASKED YOU, GRANNIS. OTHER REQUESTS.WE'VE ASKED AND THEN CONSIDER THAT AS A CONDITIONAL ADDITIONAL DECISION. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR THANK YOU. I WAS GOING TO ASK. I WASN'T SURE IF I'D SEEN IT, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE LIKE A SIMULATION WITH THE. AND TIRE AREA SHOWING THE. THE PARKING.
I KNOW THAT WE HAVE IT IN OUR IN OUR PLAN THAT WE'VE BEEN GIVEN JUST ON THE BOARD HERE TONIGHT THAT SHOWED HOW THE PARKING SPACE LAYER WOULD BE ON TOP OF THAT, UM. IT WASN'T SHOWING ON HERE TONIGHT. I JUST SAW THE TREES AND I SAW THE TIME. WHAT? NOT AT ALL. NOT LIKE A FULL SIMULATION AROUND LIKE, UH, COLD. VIDEO TYPE THING. JUST TWO SHORT EXAMPLE.
WE'VE ONLY GOT A PLAN WHICH SHOWS THE AREAS INVOLVED. YEAH. JUSTICE PLAN. YEAH, BUT NOTHING LIKE ENOUGH SIMULATION. WE DON'T HAVE ANY ILLUSTRATION, OKAY? UM MISS BRUNA. IF NO ONE ELSE HAS ANY PUBLIC COMING YEAH, GET PUBLIC COMMENT. SO BASICALLY, JUST LET ME CLOSE THE PRESENTATION FIRST. UM, SO THERE'S NOTHING ELSE SO THE PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE IS NOW CLOSED. THE HEARING IS DOLL CLOTHES. SO DOES ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WISH TO MAKE A COMMENT. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO MAKE A COMMENT. IF THEY'RE IN A GREEN CARDS. COULD YOU PLEASE PASS THEM UP TO ME SO THAT I CAN CALL THOSE WHO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS? IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT MAKING UP PUBLIC COMMENTS, YOU CAN EITHER COME UP AND FILL OUT A GREEN CARD AFTERWARDS. OR YOU CAN HAND IN A GREEN CARD NOW, MS LINDA K. RICHARDS. GOOD EVENING. UM LINDA K. RICHARDS, 1 66 SOUTHWEST CABANA POINT CIRCLE. I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A CHANCE TO READ THE EMAIL THAT I SENT OVER THE WEEKEND. UM I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO REALLY BE ABLE TO LOOK AT AT ANYTHING INSIDE WHAT WAS PUT INTO THIS PACKAGE. WHICH I FELT LACKING IN REAL DETAIL FROM YOUR STAFF REPORT. UM SO HERE WE SIT. 27 YEARS AFTER SOMETHING'S BEEN BUILT.
GIVEN A PARKING VARIANTS. THINGS CHANGE. I KNOW THERE'S A PARKING PROBLEM THERE. I DON'T GO TO THE URGENT CARE THERE ANYMORE BECAUSE PARKING IS IMPOSSIBLE. THEY NEED TO HAVE A SOLUTION. WE LOVE BUILDING UP IN THE CITY. WHY ARE WE NOT ASKING FOR WOMEN TO LOOK AT MORE OF A PROPOSAL OF PUTTING A PARKING GARAGE IN. BUILD OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE CAPACITY. SO THAT THEY'RE NOT BACK HERE IN FIVE OR SIX YEARS ANYMORE. PART PARKING. AND LEAVE OUR GREEN SPACES ALONE. THEY TALK ABOUT THEM AS DRIVER TENSION AREAS, BUT THEY'RE GREEN SPACE.
THEY'RE THE AREAS THAT WERE PROBABLY REQUIRED WHEN THEY INITIALLY DID THE SITE PLANT.
THE REASON THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T GET THOSE 35 SPACES WAS BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TO HAVE THIS. AND THAT'S WHY IT WAS THERE. BUT 20 YEARS LATER. THEY COME IN, AND THEY SAY. LET'S PAVE OVER OUR
[03:15:02]
DRIVE RETENTION AREAS. LET'S TAKE AWAY THE GREEN SPACE. LET'S MAKE IT BETTER. I THINK EVERYONE NEEDS TO LOOK AT WHAT A PRECEDENT THIS WILL SET IN THE FUTURE. FOR OTHER DEVELOPMENTS TO COME BACK TO THE COMMISSION. WE'RE PARKING VARIANCES HAVE BEEN GIVEN. AND WE'RE GONNA COVER UP MORE GREEN SPACE. GOING TO PUT IN SYSTEMS THAT WE HOPE WE'RE GOING TO WORK. WHEN WE GET EIGHT INCHES OF RAIN IN THREE HOURS LIKE WE DID A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. YOU LOOK AT IT. NOW IT'S DRY. WE'RE HAVING ONE OF THE DRIEST SUMMERS THAT I CAN REMEMBER. I REALLY HOPE I REALLY HOPE. THAT YOU GUYS ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT OTHER OPTIONS THAN TAKING AWAY OUR GREEN SPACE, EVEN IF IT IS A RETENTION AREA. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR RICHARDS, ROBYN CARTWRIGHT. GOOD EVENING. ROBYN CARTWRIGHT. 73 SOUTHEAST HIBISCUS. I SENT AN EMAIL TO THE COMMISSIONER'S EARLIER TODAY. AND I STATED THAT THE DECISIONS BEING MADE OR HAVING SHORT AND LONG TERM IMPACTS AND IMPLICATIONS. AS YOU ALL DISCUSSED IN 2000 AND NINE WHEN THIS EXPANSION WAS APPROVED, YOU HAVE TO QUESTION IF CITY STAFF AND THEN THEN COMMISSIONERS ASKED ALL OF THE NECESSARY QUESTIONS BEFORE ISSUING THEIR APPROVAL. WHAT IF EVERY OFFICE IS FILLED AND WHAT IF THE PARCEL REQUIRE SUFFICIENT PARKING, SO PATIENTS AND STAFF ARE NOT INCONVENIENCED? FAST FORWARD TO TODAY AND HERE WE ARE ADDRESSING THE DEFICIENCIES CREATED BY THAT DECISION. IN THAT TIME STORED HAS GROWN, AND NOBODY COULD PREDICT HOW MUCH IT'S GROWN. HOWEVER THERE ARE TRENDS AND PATTERNS THAT CAN BE PROVEN YEAR AFTER YEAR IN CITY STAFF SHOULD INCLUDE THAT IN THEIR REVIEW FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION PRIOR TO PRESENTING IT TO THE COMMISSIONERS. WE CAN'T GO BACK AND CHANGE HIM AND THAT APPROVAL THAT WAS DONE. BUT WHAT WE AND YOU CAN DO IS DO BETTER NOT JUST FOR NOW, BUT FOR THE FUTURE. THE PLAN BEFORE YOU SEEMS LAZY, AND IT'S THE ONE THAT IS LEAST COSTLY TO THE DEVELOPER. AND HE STATED SO. IS SOME OF THE COMMISSIONERS ARE TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT. THE CULVERTS WILL NOT BE PAVED OVER THE GREEN SPACE WILL BE CONSERVED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. TREES WOULD REMAIN NOT REPLACED IN THIS FOOTPRINT OF THIS PARKING MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT LIKE THE GARAGE AT SUNTRUST. AND IF THERE ARE ONGOING COSTS TO CONTINUE TO RENT SPACES AT SUNTRUST, PERHAPS THEY SHOULD CONSIDER THAT IN THEIR CALCULATION WHEN THEY CONSIDER THE COST TO BUILD A PARKING GARAGE. THE NETWORK OF ROUTES THAT CREATE THE STABILITY FOR THE GROUND IN AN OPPORTUNITY FOR NATURAL DRAINAGE, EXTENSIVE IMPERVIOUS SURFACES, EVEN WITH AN UNDERGROUND STORMWATER PLAN CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FLOODING. WE SHOULD BE ASKING WHY THEY AREN'T ASKING QUESTIONS BEFORE THESE PROJECTS EVEN GET TO THE EPA. AND WE NEED TO BE ASKING YOU TO DO BETTER. THANK YOU. MISS RICHARDS IS, UH. JUST A SQUAT, RIGHT, SIR. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WITH THE PUBLIC COMMENT? ON THIS MATTER. OKAY UM, STAFF AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPER.YOU'LL HAVE TIME TO GIVE US AT LEAST PROBABLY OF THE FIVE MINUTES OF A CLOSING STATEMENT.
DO YOU STILL WANT TO SPEAK OR YOU THINK YOU'RE DONE, BUT YOU HAVE TIME. NO NEW EVIDENCE.
JUST GIVE US A CLOSING STATEMENT, PLEASE. THINKS THERE'S I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS UM.
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ALL TRY TO DO IN OUR BUSINESS TO BE SUCCESSFUL IS I THINK MOST IMPORTANTLY, IS CONSIDER OUR CLIENTS CONSIDER. WHO DOES BUSINESS WITH US TO MAKE IT AN APPROPRIATE PLACE TO COME TO PURCHASE THE VISIT. AND I THINK THAT THE MOST AND ALSO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IS OUR AWA. WHICH IS RETURN ON INVESTMENT. WE HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER THINGS WE FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS, MY CLIENT IS EXERCISE DIFFERENT AREAS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY HAVE LOOKED AT HIM. THEY HAVE LOOKED AT THE PARKING GARAGE. THEY'VE DONE THE FEASIBILITY ON A PARKING GARAGE, AND IT'S PHYSICALLY DOESN'T WORK IN THE NUMBERS, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR. THAT'S THE REALISTIC. POINT OF VIEW OF PUTTING IN THE PARK GARAGE. IT'S SIMPLY NOT AFFORDABLE. SO WE DIDN'T GO THE CHEAPEST ROUTE. WE TRY TO DO SOMETHING THAT WAS APPROPRIATE FOR EVERYONE TO AGREE WITH. SO THAT WOULD BE MY CLOSING STATEMENT. WE'VE TRIED. YES TO DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO ALLEVIATE THE ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, SIR. MAYOR. YES, MA'AM. UHH! WITH THE. THESE DOCTORS WHO OWNED THIS BUILDING AND WANT THESE 51 SPACES. I WILL MAKE APPROVAL OF MAKE THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL. UM I'VE KNOWN MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE GONE THERE AND, UH. SAVED
[03:20:01]
THEIR LIVES. COUPLE PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY HAVE HAD THE OPERATIONS. UH WHAT THOSE GUYS DO IS A GREAT THING FOR OUR COMMUNITY. MY JOB IS TO SEE. IF WE CAN PUT IT IN THERE, IF YOU CAN DO IT, AND IT CAN BE DONE. AND SO I MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THE ISSUE. MOTION PENDING. LET'S HAVE ONE. LET'S DEAL WITH MOTION TO TABLE. THE ISSUE IS A PROPRIETARY MOTION BASED ON ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER. IS THAT NOT CORRECT? BUT THERE'S A MOTION PENDING WITH NO SECOND. IF IT'S NOT SECONDED, THERE'D BE NO NEED TO TABLE IT. THANKS.AFTER MANY MOMENTS OF SILENCE, I DO NOT HEAR A SECOND TO THE MOTION. TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED, SO THAT MOTION DIES. IS THERE ANOTHER MOTION FROM ANY MEMBER OF OUR COMMISSION? YES, MADAM MAYOR. THERE'S. I HAVE A REAL HARD TIME. UH, RUSHING AND APPROVING THIS. I AGREE. 100% THAT. THERE'S A NEED FOR PARKING. THEIR EVERYONE IN THIS COMMUNITY FELT IT. UM. I JUST HAVE SOME SOME ISSUES THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED A LOT MORE THOROUGHLY BECAUSE THIS IS.
TAKING AN EXAMINING MISTAKES THAT WERE MADE 10 YEARS AGO. AND LOOKING AT THEM AND TRYING NOT TO RE MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES BY JUST, YOU KNOW. PAVING OVER THE DRIVER.
ATTENTION AREAS. UM. I'M NOT. YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS NEEDS TO COME BACK AND THAT'S WHY I SUGGEST WE TABLE IT. I THINK IT BE BENEFICIAL TO HAVE OUR FULL COMMISSION HERE. I THINK WHEN IT DOES COME BACK, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ALL THE DOCUMENTS MISSING. TOM. I'D LIKE TO SEE BOTH RESOLUTIONS THAT IN 2001, WHICH WAS GIVEN TO US BUT ALSO THE RESOLUTION IN 2000 AND NINE. I'D LIKE TO SEE THE MINUTES IN OUR REPORT. UM, THIS CITY COMMISSION MADE MINUTES.
GIVEN TO US FOR LOW, BOTH THOSE, UM. I'D LIKE A FURTHER DESCRIPTION. AND A VALUATION.
UM FROM. CITY OF STEWART'S CONSULTANT, ENGINEER, CAP TECH. UM. I'D BE HAPPY TO READ HIS STATEMENT. FOR THE RECORD, BUT IT WAS ALL IN OUR STAFF PACKET, AND IT DID NOT THRILL ME. UM WHAT HE WROTE. BASICALLY, UM YOU KNOW IT INTO THE RECORD, SIR. THE AGENDA HAS BEEN CLOSED.
YOU'D HAVE TO REOPEN IT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO START INTRODUCING NEW EVIDENCE. IT'S JUST HE JUST REFERENCED SOMETHING THAT'S IN THE MINISTER. I DON'T DISAGREE, BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO ADD TO THE RECORD, WE NEED TO REOPEN THE HEARING AND ACCEPT EVIDENCE. IT IS PART OF THE RECORD. UM. ALL RIGHT. LET ME SCROLL UP IN MY NOTES, BECAUSE, UH, OKAY. HOLD ON. MR. MARTEL COULD I HAVE IT? WE JUST HAVE TO REOPEN. NO WE NEED TO REOPEN PART JUST MADE A COMMENT. YOU GUYS ARE FREE TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. WE JUST REOPEN IN ORDER TO ACCEPT THIS READING OF THIS EVIDENCE. IS THAT SATISFACTORY, MR MORTAL? WELL IT'S JUST SOMETHING FROM THE STAFF FOR THE IT'S ALREADY IN EVIDENCE HE COULD. HE'S MADE REFERENCE TO THE EVIDENCE.
YOU'RE NOW BEING A CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF THE EVIDENCE. IN THEORY, THE PARTIES THEN GET TO START CROSS EXAMINING THE PERSON GIVING THE TESTIMONY. I UNDERSTAND WHAT I WANTED HIM.
THE REASON I ASKED HIM TO READ WAS BECAUSE THEY JUST MADE A REFERENCE WANTED HIM TO BE VERY IT WAS INSIGHTFUL, FIGHT SPITEFUL THAT THE COMMISSIONER WAS GIVING ADVICE TO THE APPLICANTS SO THEY WOULD KNOW WHAT TO BRING BACK. BUT THERE IS NO MOTION PENDING BEFORE THE BOARD AT THE PRESENT TIME. THERE'S TECHNICALLY NO JURISDICTION BECAUSE WITHOUT A MOTION TO APPROVE, THERE'D REALLY BE AS NOTHING TO DEBATE CAP TECH ENGINEERING AND PERFORM THIS REVIEW FOR THE CITY OF STEWART TO CONFIRM COMPLIANCE. WITH THE APPLICABLE CITY OF STEWART CODES AND REGULATIONS. NEITHER THE REVIEWER. NOR THE CITY OF TOUR CITY OF STEWART. IS THE DESIGN ENGINEER OF RECORD AND THEREFORE NEITHER ENTITY ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OR CONCEPTS OF THE DESIGN DOCUMENTS. AND OR OTHER DATA SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT. THIS PROPOSAL HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED FOR ANY MARTIN COUNTY CRITERIA. THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF. I BELIEVE WHAT I GOT FROM CAP TECH ENGINEERING R CONSULTANT ENGINEER. UM I'D LIKE TO HEAR MORE FROM THEM. IN THE FUTURE.
AND I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT. UM. AS WELL. I'M STILL GOING ON. I'M SORRY, BUT YOU KNOW? MY
[03:25:02]
ISSUE IS AS COMMISSIONER MCDONALD SEEMED TO BE HINTING ON HIS QUESTIONS. FROM WHAT'S BEEN DESCRIBED. WE'D HAVE A NET GAIN OF 16 SPACES. AND FRANKLY, THAT FOR WHAT? IS BEING DONE IN THE COST. THAT SEEMS. INTERESTING I GUESS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT 10 YEARS OUT UP HERE TWO OR 20 YEARS OUT AND TRY NOT TO MAKE MISTAKES AND SO, YOU KNOW. I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN TO SEEING. DATA WHEN THIS COMES BACK ABOUT STUDYING THE FEASIBILITY OF A PARKING GARAGE ON THE AREA. BECAUSE THE NET GAIN OF 16 SPACES MIGHT NOT HELP US IN FIVE YEARS, AND THAT'S THAT'S THE SCARY PART. I DON'T WANT TO IMPEDE. THE PARKING ABILITIES OR OR ANY BUSINESS AT ALL FROM DOING. BUT I DON'T WANT TO COMPOUND MISTAKES OF THE PAST.WITH MORE MISTAKES TODAY. SO. THAT'S WHY I'D BE INTERESTED IN TABLING THE ISSUE AND HAVING IT BE BROUGHT BACK AND MY MOTION IS TO TABLE THE ISSUE. OH, BEFORE I YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING ABOUT SECOND AND I HAVEN'T DECIDED YET, BUT I'M AGREEING WITH FISHER MATTHEWS AND IF THEY CAN, IF THEY IT'S A POINT OF CLARIFICATION WITHOUT A SECOND TO APPROVE ITS AUTOMATICALLY TABLED UNTIL THE 27TH. SO UNLESS YOU'RE TABLING IT TO A DATE PAST THE 27TH, YOU NEED TO SET A TIME CERTAIN FOR IT. I AGREE WITH OUR ATTORNEY, IT SEEMS TO BE GOTTEN OUT OF HAND. UM. I DON'T THINK ANYTHING HAS THAT. NOT THE HAND. WOULD YOU LIKE A TIME CERTAIN IS THAT IF YOU'RE ASKING TO HAVE IT CONTINUED PAST THE 27TH OF SEPTEMBER, SO.
THE WAY THE PROCEDURE WORKS IS IF YOU HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE, AND IT DID NOT GET THE MAJORITY VOTE, IT WOULD BE DENIED THAT IT WOULD BE OVER. IF YOU. DIDN'T GET A MOTION TO APPROVE AND YOU DIDN'T GET A MOTION TO DENY. THEN IT CONTINUES TO COME BACK EACH MEETING UNTIL SOME AFFIRMATIVE ACTION HAPPENS IF THERE'S A MOTION TO TABLE. THE TABLE WOULD BE TO CONTINUE TO THE NEXT MEETING UNLESS THE MOTION IS TO TABLE IT TO A MEETING TIME CERTAIN SO. I MOTION TO TABLE IT FOR THREE MONTHS I MOTION TO TABLE UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS OR COMMISSIONER MASTERSON. HERE'S THE TABLE FOR, SAY, SIX WEEKS OUT SO THAT THEY HAVE TIME TO GO BACK AND REEVALUATE YOUR ENTIRE PLAN. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
COMMISSIONER WE SUPPORT OF TIME. I DON'T WANT TO ACTUALLY LIMIT THEM ON ANY TIME WE DID HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AND IT DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND. I DON'T WANT THIS TO GET REJECTED, THOUGH. UH UM. AND IT GIVES TIME FOR OTHER COMMISSIONERS. OCTOBER 25TH. THAT WOULD BE IS THAT I'M. SURE IS THEIR MOTIONS TABLED A MOTION TO TABLE IT TO OCTOBER. 25TH. IS THAT FINE.
ARE YOU SECOND AND ADMINISTER. OCTOBER MS MS ROLAND MISS. ARE YOU SECOND IN THAT MOTION, MR MOTION TO TABLE THAT NOW? I'M NO SO BUT THERE IS A NEED FOR PARTS. OKAY, SO DID IS YOUR COMMENT ON THAT? BUT MY SHRUBBERY WHENEVER YOU MAKE IT TO COME IN, AND NO, NO.
APPLICANTS ARE YOU HEARING WHAT WE'RE SAYING? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT. COME TO THE MICROPHONE FACE. DO YOU NEED MORE TIME? IF WE'RE ASKING, WE'RE ASKING CERTAIN QUESTIONS. WEST THAT IF WE CHOSE TO COME IN SOON OCTOBER, 25TH. UM, I THINK I WOULD LIKE THE. CHANCE AND THEY ALLOW ABILITY TO COME IN AT A SOONER GATE THAN 20. WE HAVE THE ISSUES OR WE HAVE WHATEVER YOU MIGHT DESIRE AS FAR AS FACTS AND FIGURES. SO FROM SO ON BEFORE OCTOBER, 20. GUYS COME SEE YOU. CAN WE COME BACK IN TWO WEEKS? I'VE LIED LIKE MANAGER DO THAT RETURNING AND IF WE WANT TO, IF WE NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME AND ALLOW US THAT I THINK THAT'S THE FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. IT'S ALREADY BEEN NOTICED, AND ANY ADVERTISING IS DONE. SO YOUR CONCURRENT WITH THE ADVERTISING, OKAY, IF YOU SAY YOU'RE COMING BACK IN TWO WEEKS, AND THEN YOU AREN'T READY. YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT YOU LOSE THE ADVERTISING. YOU HAVE TO DO ALL THE ADVERTISING AND EVERYTHING OVER WHICH IS FINE. THE REASON FOR SETTING IT FOR A TIME CERTAIN IN OCTOBER WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO RE ADVERTISE AND RE NOTICE EVERYTHING. DOESN'T MATTER TO ME. IF YOU GUYS WANT TO CHANGE THE DATE FROM OCTOBER 25TH TWO
[03:30:01]
ANOTHER DAY. THAT'S THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD. IT WAS JUST TO PROTECT THE. COMPLIANCE OF THE AGENDA ITEM WITH THE DUE PROCESS NECESSARY FOR ADVERTISING SO THAT THE APPLICANT DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY ALL THOSE COSTS AGAIN. UNDERSTAND UM NEXT STAGES UP TOBER, THE 11TH.

BUT WE DID HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM. IN THAT IN THAT IT WAS 2013 2014 25. SOMEWHERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN 2016. IT WOULD.

AND THE APPLICANT IS FULLY AWARE, AND THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED WITH THE DATE. AND. LET'S REGARD TO OR ADVERTISING WILL BE IN GOOD STANDING. WE TABLE NOW TO THE TIME CERTAIN. ESSENTIALLY CONTINUED TO OCTOBER 25TH. OKAY I'LL GO WITH THE DOCTOR COULD HAVE BEEN WE NEED ANOTHER FAVOR, PLEASE. WHAT WAS THAT? ADAM MAYOR, WE NEED AN ALL IN FAVOR.
