[COMMENTS BY CITY COMMISSIONERS ]
WILL JUMP RIGHT INTO COMMENTS BY CITY COMMISSIONERS. I HAVE NO COMMENT. I HAVE NO COMMENT, BUT MISTER MAYOR. MR BRUNER. I JUST WANT TO THANK STAFF AND EVERYONE FOR MY BIRTHDAY CARD. TRYING.VERY NICE. THANK YOU. OH I HAD AN APRIL BIRTHDAY. THANKS BACK ENDS UP REMEMBERED. I TALKED TO SOME PEOPLE. THANK YOU. AND THEN FOR CITY MANAGER AND OUR ENGINEERING STAFF. I JUST WANTED TO BRING OUT THAT SOMEONE BROUGHT UP TO ME THAT AND I GUESS IT'S A COUNTY ALSO BECAUSE IT'S PALM BEACH ROAD. THAT THE SECTION BETWEEN CHRISTIE WAY AND MONTEREY ROAD, WHICH IS NOT CHRISTIE WAY, WHICH WOULD BE PALM BEACH ROAD. UM GO COMING NORTH. THAT THERE WAS SOMEONE COMMENTS SELF AND PALM BEACH ROAD AND THAT CAME INTO THAT. THAT ROADWAY WITH THEM. THEY WANTED AN ACCIDENT, BUT THIS PERSON DID NOT TURN ON CHRISTIE WAY. THEY WENT. THEY WERE COMING SOUTH ON THAT ONE LANE SECTION, SO THERE WERE WONDERING IF THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER SIGNAGE.
YOU KNOW THE BIG DO NOT ENTER SIGN OR WHATEVER ELSE NEEDS TO GO THERE TO MAKE IT CLEARER. I DON'T YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'RE COVERED, BUT THEY JUST WANTED TO BE SURE DEFINITELY COVERED. I MEAN, THAT IS THAT IS A Y INTERSECTION THERE. AND IF YOU JUST FOLLOW THE CENTER LINE, YOUR CAN'T EVEN GO TO LAUGH. YOU GOT TO GO TO THE RIGHT SIDE. SO I DON'T KNOW. I THOUGHT THERE WAS ALREADY A DO NOT ENTER SIGN THERE, BUT I HAVE A PRETTY SURE IT'S THERE. BUT THEY WERE JUST BIG AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, THESE THINGS HAPPEN. IT COULD BE A FLUKE THAT YOUR LIFE WAS ALMOST THREATENED, BUT IT WAS SAVED. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK WE HAVE THE ROADWAY SIGNS AND THE SPEED LIMIT AND EVERYTHING THERE. THANK GOD. THERE'S A LOT OF SPACE THERE FOR PEOPLE TO MANEUVER THEMSELVES WITH ON THE SIDEWALK OR THE GRASS, BUT YES, UNUSUAL, BUT THAT WAS BROUGHT UP TO ME. I HAVE NOTHING ELSE. I THINK WE HAD A GREAT I MEAN, THE MAYOR IS PROBABLY GOING TO SPEAK , BUT I JUST WANTED TO CONGRATULATE THE MAYOR. FOR GOING THROUGH WITH THIS PLAN, WHICH IT STARTED SOME TIME AGO WITH REGARD TO THE UM, TREE PLANTING EFFORTS FOR AREAS THAT DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SHADE TREES, AND WE STARTED THAT EFFORT, WHICH WAS PLANNED FOR THE EAST STEWART AREA. WE HAD A GREAT DAY ON SATURDAY, AND I'M SURE THAT THE MAYOR WILL SPEAK ABOUT IT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO CONGRATULATE HIM AND THE STAFF THAT ARE WORKING TO GET THAT PROJECT UNDERWAY AND OUR LOCAL CONTRACTORS. I'M ALSO I'M HAPPY THAT THE CITY HIRED SOMEBODY LOCAL TO DO THAT, AND ESPECIALLY LOCAL TO STEWART AND TO THE AREA , SO THAT WAS A DOUBLE O CALL, SO THAT WAS GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT MIRROR GOOD CHOICE. WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS. UM, ONE IS PALM CITY ROAD OF BROUGHT IT UP A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE PAST ABOUT DOING A FOUR WAY STOP AT MANOR. I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE CITY MANAGER ABOUT THAT IN HERE, HE SAID. THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT THAT IS TO ASK FOR THE SST COMMISSION IF WE CAN PUT A RESOLUTION ON A ON A FUTURE MEETING. TO DO A FOUR WAY STOP AT PALM CITY, ROAD AND MANNER. IF WE NEED EMOTIONAL, MAKE EMOTIONS OR I'LL DO THAT MOVE TO HAVE A AGENDA ITEM WITH A RESOLUTION BEING BROUGHT FORWARD TO PUT FORWARD WAY. STOP ON HOME CITY ROAD AT MANNER. SO THE CODE GIVES ME THE AUTHORITY TO TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL. BUT PERMANENT CABINET CONTROL HAS TO BE APPROVED BY COMMISSION
[00:05:01]
. AND SO THE PREFERRED METHOD FOR ME, ESPECIALLY WITH PALM CITY ROAD, AND ALL THE DIFFERENT TRAFFICS COME BACK AND FORTH ON THAT. WOULD BE FOR A RESOLUTION WHICH WOULD COME BACK ON A SUBSEQUENT MEETING FOR THE COMMISSION TO ALL DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S A ONE AVENUE THEY WANT TO TAKE. ALL SECOND WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. IS THE COUNTY AWARE CURRENTLY OF OUR COMMISSIONS, SO WE DON'T SO? SO WHILE IT'S A COUNTY MAINTAINED ROAD, WE HAVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY AND TRAFFIC CONTROL AUTHORITY ON IT THROUGH AN INTER LOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY. SO WE CAN MODIFY AND ADD THAT TO THE TO THE PLAN, THE ONLY ISSUE THAT WE WOULD EVALUATE. I KNOW MILTON'S DONE SOME EVALUATIONS SENT ME AN EMAIL OUT TODAY. I JUST HAVEN'T READ IT WOULD BE THAT THERE IS A THERE'S A CROSSWALK SPEED BUMP RIGHT THERE AT THAT INTERSECTION. AND HOW IS THAT RELATE TO A STOP SIGN THERE? OKAY, SO PRIOR COMING MATTER IN THE IN THE SO THAT'S WHY I'M SECONDING IT SO WE CAN LOOK AT IT MORE RIGHT. PERFECT.PRIOR TO IT COMING BACK. NO, THE LEGALITIES OF THE CROSSWALK AS THE PROXIMITY OF THE POTENTIAL STOP SIGN. AS WELL. I WOULD IMAGINE. AND TO NOTIFY THE COUNTY THE RESOLUTE YOU SO DESIRE. THAT'S WHY WE DON'T NEED TO REPUBLICAN BEFORE. WE HAVE NOT DONE A FOUR WAY STOP THERE NOW. MEETING TRAFFIC ON PALM CITY. YES ER, THANK YOU. WE HAVE A MOTION. AH BY VICE MAYOR MCDONALD AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER MEYER. WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE MOTION.
PLEASE COME FORWARD, STATING THE GREEN CARD. SH ANY ANY PUBLIC COMMENT. I HAVE NO PUBLIC COMMENT. MADAM CLERK, WILL YOU PLEASE CALL ALL IN FAVOR? THIS IS JUST TO BRING IT BACK. ALL IN FAVOR BY PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY GO AHEAD WITH YOUR COMMENTS . NEXT NEXT ONE IS I'VE BEEN YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AROUND, AND I RECENTLY SAW WA WA PUT IN EIGHT CHARGING STATIONS FOR TESLA STATIONS, WHICH CURRENTLY ONLY DO TESLA CARS. UM EVERY MANUFACTURER BEEN DOING A LITTLE CAR SHOPPING. EVERY MANUFACTURER HAS MULTIPLE ELECTRIC CARS. AND LOOKING AROUND AT CHARGING PUBLIC CHARGING STATION OR STATIONS AVAILABLE TO THE, UM THEY'RE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. I'D LIKE TO COMMISSION TO DO A DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION AND DOING A LOOKING AT DOING AN R P FOR A COMPANY TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY COMPANIES OUT THERE THAT WANT TO COME IN AND PUT ELECTRIC CHARGING STATIONS IN UM, IN AROUND THE CITY ON OUR FACILITIES, PARKS PARKING LOTS O WHEREVER THEY CAN, WHERE WE LEAST THEM THE SPACES. WE ACTUALLY WOULD GET REVENUE OFF OF THESE SPACES. AND PROVIDE A SERVICE TO THE END MEETING. ALSO STAYING WITHIN OUR, UM, SUSTAINABILITY PLAN OF TRYING TO PROMOTE THE USE OF ELECTRIC CARS AND NOT ASKING THAT WE ACTUALLY DO IN OUR FREE RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY THAT WE DISCUSSED IT AND SEE THE FEASIBILITY OF IT. AND IF WE CAN BRING THAT BACK IF WE NEED A MOTION THAT WE CAN DO IT IF WE CAN DO IT BY CONSENSUS THAT WOULD BE GREAT. IF NOT, I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR IT. WOULD THAT BE A D AND D ON A FUTURE MEDIA? INDIANA FUTURE MEAN NOT TODAY? JUST I CAN. THAT'S OKAY WITH THE REST OF QUESTIONS. CERTAINLY SUPPORTIVE, OKAY? IN THE WEST. THING IS, I GUESS I THINK IT'S OVER THERE ON FLAMINGO AND ST LUCIE. THERE'S A POND THERE'S BEHIND THE GAS STATION CONVENIENCE STORE.
THERE'S SEVERAL DUCKS THERE. AH! I'VE SEEN. ONE OF THEM UNFORTUNATELY, WAS HIT BY A CAR AND KILLED AND I READ ON BOTH FACEBOOK AND NEXT DOOR THAT SEVERAL OF THEM HAVE RECENTLY BEEN HIT BY CARS. UM CAN WE GET A DUCK CROSSING SIGN SHE HAD LIKE 10 BABIES THREE MONTHS AGO AND CROSSING THEM BACK AND FORTH AND HOW SHE DID IT. I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW, I SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE REALLY UPSET ABOUT THE DUCKS AND SO DUCK CROSSING SIGN IF WE CAN PUT ONE OF WHICH STREET FLAMINGO FLAMINGO ITSELF RIGHT THERE. SEND US A BOARDING PARTY. HMM. WITH LIKE SIGNS THERE IS DONALD WITH REGARD TO THAT THERE IS I MEAN THE DUCKS CROSS AT A ONE A ALSO, UM THEY'RE JUST GETTING HIT LEFT AND RIGHT AT THAT ONE THAT ONE PLACE SO AND, UH AND I KNOW THAT PEOPLE GET VERY UPSET WHEN THE DUCKS GET HIT, SO THOSE ARE MY COMMISSION COMMENTS FOR TODAY, AND SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MY MOTION TO BRING BACK A RESOLUTION FOR PALM CITY ROAD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. FOR ALL THE COMMENTS ANYTHING THAT SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN, WHETHER IT'S DUCKS OR STOP SIGNS, PROBABLY ALWAYS IN THE BEST INTERESTS. OF THE PRESIDENT. MR CLARKE YOU MENTIONED I SHOULD TALK ABOUT THE PRESIDENTIAL TREAT PROGRAM,
[00:10:04]
SO I WILL TRY AND SUMMARIZE IT BRIEFLY. I WANT TO THANK ALL OUR CITY STAFF WHO WAS INVOLVED.WANT TO THANK. AND ALL BUT BUT ALSO PETE PAULSEN FOR CONSTANTLY DRIVING THIS LONG BEFORE I BECAME A COMMISSIONER. BUT ITS SUMMARIZE IT. LAST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, A LOCAL CONTRACTOR WORKING WITH THE CITY OF STEWART PLANTED 13 NATIVE. MATURE TREES ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY WITHIN 12 FT OF PUBLIC PROPERTY. TO PROVIDE BENEFITS TO THE PUBLIC. THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT WE HOPE TO CONTINUE. THIS TIME OF YEAR IN THE LATE SPRING AS THE WET SEASON APPROACHES EVERY YEAR TO INCREASE TREE CANOPY THROUGHOUT THE CITY CR A, UM, IT WAS SUCCESSFUL, ALTHOUGH THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM FOR EXPANSION. THE FOCUS OF THE PROGRAM WAS IN THE EAST STEWART AREA WITH SATELLITE IMAGERY, GIVING US DATA TO SHOW THAT THAT AREA IN THE CITY OF STEWART HAD THE LEAST AMOUNT OF SHADE TREES. SO THAT WAS WHY THE FOCUS WAS THERE, BUT WE INTEND TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM. THIS UPCOMING THURSDAY. THE 28TH HERE IN THIS ROOM WILL BE A RIVERS COALITION MEETING. UM IT'S ALWAYS A TOPIC NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART AND EVERYONE ELSE IS. AH, AND I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO ATTEND. THIS WILL BE THEIR SECOND MEETING IN PERSON, ALTHOUGH THEY DO UM, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH MR SANDSTROM PAUL, WHICH I'D LIKE TO EXTEND. GRATITUDE FROM THE RIVERS COALITION BOARD FOR HELPING THEM. CONDUCT HYBRID MEETINGS, THE REAL IMPORTANCE BUT BEHIND THOSE HYBRID MEETINGS THAT THE RIVERS COALITION IS HOSTING HERE IS IT ALLOWS OTHER AGENCIES TO TUNE IN IF THEY CAN'T BE PRESENT. HELP SUCH AGENCIES AS THE ARMY CORPS AND SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THAT THOSE AGENCIES ARE ATTUNED TO WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING HERE AS A COMMISSION. AND ALSO WHAT'S BEING DISCUSSED BY SOME OF THE LOCAL EXPERTS. THAT HAVE BEEN LEADING THE RIVERS COALITION FOR YEARS. THAT BEING SAID LAKE OKEECHOBEE IS AT 13.11 FT. WE'RE SEEING GOOD REDUCTION RIGHT NOW. AND AS YOU DRIVE AROUND TOWN, YOU'LL NOTICE A LOT OF THE STORM. WATER AREAS ARE PROBABLY AT THEIR LOWEST LEVEL AND OVER THE NEXT MONTH, THEY'LL HOPEFULLY CONTINUE TO GET LOWER. WE WOULD MUCH RATHER SEE THAT LAKE DON'T GET CLOSE TO THAT 12 FT. MARK. AS WE ENTER JUNE AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THERE. AND ENCOURAGE THOSE AGENCIES TO WORK WITH US TO GET THERE AND WITH MOTHER NATURE. WE TALKED ABOUT POMP CITY ROAD A LITTLE BIT. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT OVER THE NEXT UPCOMING YEAR , I SIT ON THE MPO BOARD WITH, UH VICE MAYOR MCDONALD AND THE MPO. AND THEIR TRAFFIC EXPERTS WILL BE STUDYING THE INTERSECTION OF PALM BEACH ROAD AND US ONE. IT'S A HOT SPOT FOR ACCIDENTS AND FATAL ACCIDENTS THERE. AND SO OVER THE NEXT YEAR, THEY'RE GOING TO COMING BACK TO THE MPO BOARD. WITH RECOMMENDATIONS ON IMPROVEMENTS , ALTHOUGH THAT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS MOST LIKELY WILL BE LONG TERM. YOU KNOW 5 10 15 YEARS RECOMMENDATIONS. I'M WORKING WITH THE STATE AND THE FEDS. TO SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS THERE. UM BELIEVE THAT'S ALL MY COMMENTS. CITY MANAGER. UH NO COMMENTS OTHER THAN THESE PLASTIC SHIELDS MADE ME FEEL SO FREE NOW THEY'RE GONE. CAN I JUST MAKE ALL KINDS? I HAVE AIRPORT NOISE ADVISORY MEDIAN ON THIS THURSDAY COMING UP. AND I'LL BE ATTENDING THAT. I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT

THE LAST MEETING NIGHT ASKED TIM AND MR LEGGETT WITH THESE GREAT BOXES WERE LONG THE CITY RIGHT AWAY AND THANK YOU TO MR LEGGETT. HE FOUND OUT AND CALLED FOR ME.
[00:15:04]
THERE WAS 18 G. ABOUT NINE O'CLOCK. UM, YEAH, THE MORNING THERE WAS A BANG ON MY DOOR AND I OPENED IT AND IT WAS THREE PEOPLE, GENTLEMEN, STANDING OUT ON MY PORCH AND I SUGGEST, HE SAID WERE 80 AND T. WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA PLAY A DITCH IN YOUR BACK. DIG A DITCH IN YOUR BACKYARD. OKAY SAY CAN I SEE SOME ID? NOW THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW ME WELL, NO, I WAS VERY ACTIVE, DIFFERENT CRIME, RIGHT? AND MARTY AND DANNY. THEY USED TO SAY YOU GOT THESE RED FLAGS BE VERY CAREFUL. AND I SAID, BUT I NEED SOME I D BECAUSE BOB WAS A FUN PERSON OVER 30 YEARS AND I ALWAYS KNEW BOB HAD TO HAVE A BADGE. AND IF YOU FORGOT IT, HE HAD TO COME HOME AND GET IT. NO NO, NO, NO BAD I SAID OKAY, LET ME SEE YOUR WORK ORDER. HE DIDN'T HAVE A WORK ORDER. I SHOW YOU, HE SAID SO HE TOOK ME I SAID, ALRIGHT, COME IN THE YARD, SO WE WENT IN AND HERE AND I SAID, WELL, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO? WHY ARE YOU DIGGING? CALL MY FOREMAN, HE SAYS. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE IT THE PHONE. THAT WAS THE THIRD RED FLAG BECAUSE THEY TAUGHT US THAT IF THEY WANT YOU TO TALK TO SOMEBODY, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO'S ON THAT OTHER LINE. AND LUCKILY I HAVE A LAW ENFORCEMENT WELL PER SUSTAINED AT MY HOUSE AND THANK GOD HE CAME OUT ONTO THE PATIO. AND I SAID NO. ALL RIGHT. YOU GOT TO GET OFF MY PROPERTY. I'M NOT. I WAS VERY AND THEN I WAS TALKING TO MY DIFFERENT NEIGHBORS, AND THEY WERE ALL SAYING, YOU KNOW, THEY WEREN'T THE NICEST PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH WHAT I SAID. THEY KEEP SAYING THEY WERE 18 AND T. I SAID A TNT LIKE FP AND L AND COMCAST. THOSE GUYS DON'T HAVE TO WEAR BADGES. BUT MY POINT I'M TRYING DON'T WEAR. WHAT DOES THIS CITY STEWART COMMISSIONERS DO TO PROTECT WE, THE PEOPLE THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF AN ORDINANCE OR SOMETHING THAT ACCOMPANY. JUST CAN'T COMMEND. IN AN OF US WERE NOTIFIED IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THIS WAS GOING TO GO ON. AH! WHO'S PROTECTING US? I MEAN, I'M NOT GOING TO CALL THE POLICE OFFICER THERE, TOO. YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO THEM.SOME THREE GUYS TRYING TO DIG A DITCH AND THE OTHER THING AND THEN AFTER THE FACT TALKING TO MY NEIGHBORS THEY DUG THE DITCH, AND THEY PUT THE CABLE IN WELL, IF THERE WAS DIRT LEFT OVER, THEY DIDN'T BREAK IT. OR THEY DIDN'T TURN THE LAND BACK THE WAY IT WAS. AND IF YOU HAD A NICE GREEN LAWN, THEY PUT GREEN GRASS DOWN LIKE IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE GREEN GRASS LAWN. THEY DON'T DO NOTHING. SO I JUST THINK SOMEBODY YOU CAN ASK THE STEP FEAST. FIND OUT SOMETHING TO PROTECT. ESPECIALLY WE. THANK YOU, MISS MCBRIDE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. TO RESPOND.
YOU LIKE A RESPONSE. WELCOME. GIVE A RESPONSIVE WITH WHAT'S IN THE LAW. I WOULD SAY BEFORE MIKE TALKS ABOUT WAS IN THE LAW, I WILL JUST SAY, DON'T EVER HESITATE TO CALL THE POLICE. IF YOU HAVE THAT SITUATION REASON, PLEASE CALL OUR OFFICER. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE THERE FOR EVERYONE'S SAFE. A FEW YEARS AGO , THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE THAT WERE GOING DOOR TO DOOR SELLING WATER OR WATER, AND NOT ONLY WERE THEY TRYING TO RIP PEOPLE OFF IN AN $8000 WATER SCAM, BUT THEY WERE SAYING THAT THE CITY'S WATER DIDN'T TASTE THAT GOOD, WHICH WE FOUND MORE INSULTING.
UM AND WE TRIED TO CODE, ENFORCE THEM AND RESISTED AND GOT A LETTER FROM THEIR LAWYER AND ONE OF THE BIG CITIES AND IT TURNS OUT THAT UNLESS YOU ARE A GATED COMMUNITY, YOU CAN'T PROHIBIT THEM FROM GOING DOOR TO DOOR AND YOU ALSO RUN INTO THIS NOW AND AGAIN WHERE PEOPLE SELL THESE ALARM SYSTEMS AND THEY GO DOOR TO DOOR AND TELL EVERYBODY HOW HIGH THE CRIME RATE IS, AND THEY MAKE IT UP TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO SELL THE ALARMS, BUT IT FALLS UNDER A FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF ACCESS. AND UNLESS THE HOMEOWNER HAS A NO SOLICITATION, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO COME. THEN, AS IT RELATES TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILITIES. THERE'S TWO GOING ON AN AT AND T I'M ASSUMING FALLS UNDER THAT NEW FIVE G LEGISLATION THAT CAME OUT UM, FROM TALLAHASSEE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THAT SAID THAT THE STATE OF FLORIDA NEW MUCH BETTER THAN THE LOCALS AS TO HOW AND WHERE AND WHEN ALL THOSE UTILITIES SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON ALL OF THE RIGHT OF WAYS AND THEY PASSED LEGISLATIVE RELATION. GIVING THESE CARRIERS KIND OF AN UNFETTERED ACCESS TO INSTALL. UM. WHATEVER WAS NECESSARY TO DO THE LAST MILE OR WHATEVER THAT'S CALLED FOR THE INSTALLATION OF NOT ONLY FIBER OPTIC BUT OTHER HIGH SPEED FIVE G TRANSMISSIONS AND SUBSTATIONS NECESSARY TO INSTALL THAT AND COMMISSION IS GOING TO BE SEEING PROBABLY IN THE NEXT THREE WEEKS OR SIX WEEKS, A ORDINANCE THAT. COMPLIES WITH THE STATE'S STATUTE BUT ALSO SETS FOR SOME REGULATIONS SO THAT THE AH! AGENCIES SUCH AS AT AND T WILL HAVE TO GET PERMITS AND BE
[00:20:05]
REGISTERED WITH THE CITY AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT IT NO MEANS WOULD IT PREVENT THEM FROM BEING ABLE TO GO OUT AND DO WHAT THEY DID WITH YOU, MISS MCBRIDE, AND OBVIOUSLY I WOULD DEFERRED TO THE CITY MANAGER'S COMMENT OF I'M SURE THAT IF YOU CALLED THE POLICE, THEY PROBABLY GET MUCH MORE POLITE, MUCH MORE QUICKLY. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S IT IS A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAYS PUBLIC ACCESS AND THEY HAVE. WE CAN'T INTERFERE WITH PEOPLE FOR GOING TO DOORS AND START SUBJECTING IT TO. WE DON'T THINK YOU BELONG AND WE THINK YOU'RE OKAY. MS MCBRIDE ALSO SHARED THIS STORY WITH ME A FEW DAYS AGO AND I HAVE REACHED OUT TO OUR 80 ANTI GOVERNMENT. REP. TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE RESPONSES FROM THERE. PROBABLY PROBABLY A CONTRACTOR IS PROBABLY NOT THEIRS. THING GOING AGAIN. IF ANYONE FEELS CONCERNED OR IN DANGER. SOMEONE'S COMING ONTO YOUR PROPERTY. PLEASE. YOU CAN CALL OUR OFFICER. IT'S MUCH BETTER OFF THAN THERE THERE BEFORE SOMETHING OCCURS. THAN HAVING SOMETHING OCCUR IN THEM HAVING TO RESPOND TO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING, THANK YOU. WE HAVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. NO OTHER PEOPLE. GOOD AFTERNOON. MARK BROOKVILLE, 208 SOUTHEAST AS VIOLA PERSONAL. MY COMMENT WAS, I WANT TO THANK THE CITY, THE CITY STAFF. THE COMMISSION. THE WALTON BUILDING IS UP AND RUNNING. GRAND OPENING WAS SATURDAY. GUYS ARE ALL WELCOME TO COME OVER AND HAVE A HOT DOG BURGER. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO HAVE SOFT OPENINGS WITH HOT DOGS FREE OR WELL, THEY WERE QUITE BUSY. I DRIVE SATURDAY. I PROBABLY OWE YOU ONE BECAUSE I THINK YOU LOST THE BET. AS A RESULT OF THIS, I OWE YOU SOME MONEY OR SOME HOT DOG AT LEAST BUT I DO WANT AND I THINK SOUP PARKS WAS REMEMBER. SUSHI USED TO HAVE STUART SCOOT DID THE SEGWAY TOURS AND SHE'S RUNNING THAT RESTAURANT. THAT'S HER RESTAURANT, AND IT'S JUST THE BUILDING. BUT THEY DID A FANTASTIC JOB. I THINK SHE'S DONE A GREAT JOB OVER THERE. REALLY NICE LOOKS GREAT, AND THEY DID A GOOD JOB WITH IT. BUT I APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP I PARTICULARLY THE STAFF AND TIM, I WANT TO MENTION, UH CAME OVER AND GAVE US SOME HELP WITH THE PROBLEM, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE THINGS YOU GUYS DID.THANK YOU.

FISCAL YEAR 2022 MID-YEAR BUDGET REVIEW AND AMENDMENT (RC): RESOLUTION No. 48-2022; A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING ADMENDMENT NO. 13 TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGETS OF GENERAL FUND, WATER AND SEWER FUND AND STORMWATER; RECOGNIZING ADDITIONAL REVENUES, APPROPRIATING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS, AND RECORDING THE ADVANCE OF FUNDS FROM WATER AND SEWER TO GENERAL FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR APPROPRIATING ARPA FUNDS IN WATER AND SEWER FOR THE ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY PROJECT; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. ]
COMMISSIONER MEYER? YES, CLARK? YES. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE FISCAL YEAR. 2022 MID YEAR BUDGET REVIEW. AND AMENDMENTS. THIS IS PRESENTED BY MR JOLY BOG, LEO. MR ATTORNEY WILL READ THE RESOLUTION RESOLUTION NUMBER 48-2020 TO A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING AMENDMENT NUMBER 13 TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGETS OF GENERAL FUND, WATER AND SEWER FUND AND STORM WATER. RECOGNIZING ADDITIONAL REVENUES APPROPRIATING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS AND RECORDING THE ADVANCE OF FUNDS FROM WATER AND SEWER TO GENERAL FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR APPROPRIATING FUNDS. IN WATER AND SEWER FOR THE ALTERNATE ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY PROJECT, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. ANYTHING ELSE, MR. MR BODILY EVENING COMMISSIONERS. NORMALLY THESE MID YEAR REVIEWS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. I'VE BEEN WRONGFULLY. TERM TO GLOOM AS MY NICKNAME AROUND THE CITY, BUT THIS EVENING. I DON'T HAVE QUITE SUCH A BAD REVIEW TO PRESENT TO YOU THIS EVENING, EVEN EVEN REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE'RE HEARING ON THE NEWS OR IN THE NEWSPAPERS OR IN SOCIAL MEDIA. THE CITY'S BUDGET IS ACTUALLY PERFORMING QUITE WELL COMPARED GIVEN THE RELATIVE CIRCUMSTANCES. SO FOR YOUR VIEW, I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU. BASICALLY WE'RE LOOKING THROUGH THE CITY'S BUDGET STATUS AT THE HALFWAY MARK, SO SIX YEARS SIX MONTHS INTO THIS YEAR.AND ESSENTIALLY, I GUESS IN AN IDEAL SITUATION, YOU WOULD WANT REVENUES TO BE 50% OF WHAT YOU BUDGETED OR MORE. AND YOU WOULD WANT TO EXPENSES TO BE 50% OR LESS. AND SO IN COMPARING THE ADOPTED BUDGETS AND CURRENTLY AMENDED FOR TRANSFERS IN ANY OTHER AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE TAKEN
[00:25:02]
PLACE PRIOR TO THIS MEETING. YOU'RE LOOKING AT GENERAL FUND IS CURRENTLY RUNNING ABOUT 59% OF WHAT WE HAD BUDGETED FOR REVENUES. ORDER SHE WERE REFLECTS 27% I'LL HAVE SOME DETAIL ON THAT LATER IN THE PRESENTATION THAT'S BASICALLY DUE TO THE SKEWING OF THEIR BUDGET FOR THE ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM. IT'S A VERY LARGE NUMBER BURIED IN THERE. UM A LOT OF IT'S ON, YOU KNOW, SRF REIMBURSEMENT LOANS AND OTHER DEBT FINANCING MATERIALS GRANTS THINGS LIKE THAT. SANITATION IS RUNNING ABOUT 45% STORMWATER 48. AND QUITE PLEASANTLY. ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE. WE'RE RUNNING A 40% OF EXPENSES IN GENERAL FUND AND EVEN THOUGH THERE'S SOME DETAILS, SHOWING SOME OVER EDGES AND CERTAIN ACCOUNTS ACROSS THE BOARD, IT LEVELS OUT TO 40. AGAIN BECAUSE OF THOSE LARGE EXPENSES IN WATER SEWER, THEY'RE SHOWING ABOUT 26% OF THEIR APPROPRIATION BUDGET SPENT. AND SANITATION IS 31 STORMWATER 18. HERE FOR THOSE WHO ARE MORE GRAPHICAL THAN NUMERICAL. YOU CAN SEE THE GREEN COLUMNS ARE ABOUT HALFWAY UP THE BLUE COLUMNS. EXCEPT FOR THE WATER SEWER, AND THERE'S A NOTE THERE THAT THIS NUMBER IS, YOU KNOW, SKEWED BECAUSE OF THE ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY. ZOOMING IN THE OH SO TAKING OUT THAT LARGE ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY ON THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS IF YOU REALLY WANT TO LOOK AT WHAT THEY DO, PICKING UP GARBAGE , CLEANING, STORM DRAINS AND SELLING WATER AND TREATING SEWER . THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING ABOUT 15 WATERS, EXACTLY 50% OF THEIR BUDGETED REVENUE FOR THE BUSINESS OF SELLING WATER AND TREATING SO WERE SANITATION IS RUNNING 48% THAT INCLUDES RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL YARD TRASH AND STORM WATER IS RUNNING 49% OF THEIR COLLECTIONS. AND THEN FOR THOSE, YOU MIGHT HAVE WONDERED CURRENTLY COLLECTIONS SINCE DURING COVID. THERE WAS SOME CONCERN ABOUT THAT COLLECTIONS ARE RUNNING ABOUT 92% SO WHEN YOU BUILD THEM, THE CUSTOMER GETS THE BILL TO RECORD THE REVENUE. BUT WE'RE AT ABOUT 92% SO WE'RE ABOUT 34 DAYS PAST DUE IT'S JUST ABOUT ONE MONTH. SO IT'S NOT REALLY, UM, A LARGE NUMBER THAT I WOULD BE CONCERNED WITH. 92% IS A VERY GOOD COLLECTION RATE FOR MOST UTILITIES, AND THE CITY OF STEWART IS HISTORICALLY RECORDED ABOUT 98% COLLECTION RATE BY THE END OF THE YEAR. WE ADJUSTED DEPOSITS AND TURN OFF POLICY YEARS AGO TO STRAIGHTEN THAT OUT . COMMISSIONER ACROSS COUGH ONE YEAR MM. SO THAT'S WHERE THE UTILITIES ARE RUNNING. AGAIN ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIKE PICTURES BETTER THAN NUMBERS YOU CAN SEE. THE ORANGE COLUMN IS LESS THAN HALF OF THE BLUE COLUMN. GOOD THING FOR US. ZOOMING IN ON SOME OF THESE APPROPRIATIONS. NOW I'LL TELL YOU SOME LITTLE TRICKS HERE . THE WAGES ARE BELOW THE 50% MARK NOW, IF WAGES WERE AT 50% OR HIGHER AND OVER TIME, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE WAS ALSO HIGH. I WOULD SAY OKAY, WE'RE DOING A LOT OF PROJECTS. BUT SINCE WAGES ARE LOW AND OVERTIME TIE, THAT'S I MEAN WITHOUT ME EVEN TALKING TO ANYONE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT'S VACANCIES IN IN POSITIONS AND SHORTAGES OF STAFF AND SO AT THE CITY MANAGER'S DIRECTION WE DID INTERVIEW EACH OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT HAD KIND OF EXCEEDED THAT 50% MARK OF THEIR BUDGET. AND SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS LIKE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THEY LOST EIGHT EMPLOYEES TO COMPETITIVE OFFER AND ONE YOU KNOW POSITION HAS BEEN OUT ON AN EXTENDED F M L, A . AND SO THE NEW POSITIONS WHERE THE NEW FIREFIGHTERS HIRED, THEY DON'T GO IMMEDIATELY ONTO THESE 24 HOUR SHIFTS. THEY HAVE TO BE.TRAINED AND SIGNED OFF. SO THERE WERE 40 HOUR EMPLOYEE FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES UNTIL THEY MEET THAT 12 WEEKS, USUALLY TO GET THEM READY TO UP AND ROLL. BUT AS SOON AS THEY DO ALONG THE WAY, THEY CAN START DOING SOME TASK TO PICK UP THE LOAD, LIKE DRIVING. RESCUE UNIT THINGS LIKE THAT. MILTON'S PEOPLE HAVE HAD SOME SHORTAGES AS WELL AS SOME PROJECTS TO WORK ON LIGHTING ON US ONE AND SOME OUTAGES IN THE CUSTODIAL STAFF. SOME OF THOSE ISSUES AND RECREATION. THEY'VE ALSO HAD SOME SHORTAGES AS WELL AS REQUIRING SOME EMPLOYEES TO BE ABLE TO BE CERTIFIED. PER THE NEW REQUIREMENTS OF THE CHILDREN'S SERVICES COUNCIL GRANT SO, UM YOU CAN SEE THAT.
THAT'S PRIMARILY WHAT'S MAKING IT UP IN THE OVERTIME IN GENERAL FUND AND WATER, SEWER WATER SEWER HAD SHORTAGES GETTING PART TIMERS EVEN TO WORK IN CUSTOMER SERVICE. SO FULL TIME EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN WORKING. OVERTIME TO COVER WHERE A PART TIMER USED TO SIT NORMALLY. AND SOME OTHER PROJECTS AND THEN IN SANITATION . THERE'S BEEN DRIVER SHORTAGES . THEY'VE HAD TROUBLE HOLDING ON TO SOME PEOPLE, AS WELL AS SOME OTHER FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT ISSUES AND ALSO THE DIRTY WORD COVID. THERE'S BEEN SOME PEOPLE OUT ON EXTENDED LEAVE FOR COVID , OR JUST THOSE EXPOSURES WHERE THE EMPLOYEES HAVE TO BE OUT UNTIL THERE. DEEMED SAFE TO RETURN TO WORK. SO UH, BUT AS YOU SAW ON THE TOTAL THAT THAT EVENS OUT TO GENERAL FUNDS 40% OF THEIR APPROPRIATION BUDGET, EVEN WITH THIS 75% OVER REGION OVER TIME. AND THEN WHAT REALLY MATTERS, I THINK ARE THE
[00:30:01]
OPERATIONAL COSTS. YOU CAN SEE. THEY'RE ALL RUNNING. WELL, THAT'S THE ACTUAL LIGHTS ON.WATER PUMPING PENCILS AND PENS BEING PURCHASED THINGS LIKE THAT, SO EVERYONE'S TIGHTENING THE BELT AND MAKING THE MOST OF WHAT THEY CAN. AND IF YOU DO HAVE AN EMPTY CHAIR, THERE'S PROBABLY A LITTLE LESS CONSUMPTION TAKING PLACE. SO THESE ARE ALL TRACKING WITH OUR STANDARD, YOU KNOW, MEASUREMENT, QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF YOU KNOW WHERE THE NUMBERS GO. AND THEN FOR SOME OF THE REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS IN LAST YEAR WE TALKED, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOME SURROUNDING GOVERNMENTS THAT HAD ALREADY ADOPTED THEIR BUDGETS BY A CERTAIN TIME AND I THINK I DEMONSTRATED ADEQUATELY THAT THEY WERE ONE PAGE BUDGETS WHERE THEY DID. EVER LAUREN WAS 92% OF THE BUDGET TO YOUR STORAGE IS NOT LIKE THAT ARE HAVE ALARM IS ONLY 30% OF OUR BUDGET. WE GET A LOT OF OUR MONEY FROM THESE OUTSIDE SOURCES FROM THE STATE AND WENT AND LOOKED IN AS OF FOUR O'CLOCK TODAY, THE STATE OF FLORIDA'S SO THAT THE E. D R WHO ANALYZES THE LEGISLATIVE IMPACT OF LAWS AND OTHER THINGS THAT WERE PASSED IN THE LITTLE IN THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION HASN'T FINISHED YOUR ANALYSIS AND THEY'RE NOT EXPECTING STATE REVENUES TO BE RELEASED UNTIL LATE JULY. 2022 AND IN THEIR NARRATIVE, THEY EVEN SAY THIS IS TYPICALLY BEEN EARLY JUNE IN PAST YEARS, MANY YEARS, BUT THEY HAVE SHORTAGES THEMSELVES AS WELL AS THE COMPLEXITY OF SOME OF THE LAWS THAT WERE PASSED OR DRAGGING DOWN THE PROCESS, SO THEY'RE NOT EXPECTED TO RELEASE THEIR REVENUES THIS YEAR. AS I SAID, UNTIL LATE JULY, 2022 BUT SOME OF THE ONES OF INTEREST FOR US BUSINESS TAXES VERY SEASONAL . MOST OF THE BUSINESSES RENEW ANNUALLY AND THEN RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST WORKING ON CATCHING NEW BUSINESSES OR CATCHING UP THE STRAGGLERS. BUT VERY GOOD COLLECTION RATE SO FAR ON THAT BUILDING PERMITS IS RUNNING WELL, AND AS YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IF A LARGE PROJECT GETS APPROVED, THEY PAY A BIG PERMIT , YOU KNOW, AND SO RIGHT NOW, BUILDING PERMITS ARE WELL IN ADVANCE OF WHAT WAS BUDGETED STATE COMMUNICATION TAX. THAT'S THE COMMUNICATION SERVICE TAXES. WE'VE REFERRED TO IT FOR YEARS.
THEY HAVE WARNED US FOR YEARS. THAT WOULD BE DECLINING, HOWEVER, CONTINUES TO CHUG ALONG STRONG. LOCALS OPTION FUEL TAX, THE UTILITY TAX ELECTRIC AND IT'S DONE ON THIS SCREEN BECAUSE IT'S NOT AS LARGE AS A REVENUE SOURCE. BUT THE FRANCHISE FOR ELECTRIC FP AND L LIKE US AS A UTILITY, SO THE NUMBERS THAT WE GET FROM THEM ARE TYPICALLY TWO MONTHS BEHIND. SO THE MONEY WE GET THIS MONTH IS BILLS THEY SENT THEIR CUSTOMERS TWO MONTHS AGO. SO UH, I'M NOT ALARMED BY THE 46% ON THE UTILITY TAX ELECTRIC. AND THEN, OF COURSE, UTILITY WATER IS THAT TAX WE CHARGE OURSELVES AND THAT WE COLLECT FROM MARTIN COUNTY FOR THOSE CUSTOMERS THEY SERVE INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. UM AND THEN, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, HALF CENT SALES TAX OBVIOUSLY HAS RUNNING ALONG IN JUST A LITTLE HEAD OF THE CLICK. FLORIDA HAS ENJOYED A BETTER ECONOMIC RUN DURING COVID THAN SOME OF THE OTHER STATES AND GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY. AND THEN LAST YEAR WE TALKED ABOUT THE FALL OFF IN RECREATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES PROGRAMS AND REVENUES. SO JIM AND I WERE KIND OF CONSERVATIVE AND THE NUMBER THAT WE PUT DOWN AND PLEASANTLY.
AND JUST AS A BEHIND THE SCENES. I JUST DON'T THE NUMBERS OUT, AND WHEN IT TELLS ME IT'S 100 AND 14% ON BOTH OF THEM, OKAY? SO YEAH, WE'RE RUNNING 114% OF WHAT WAS REVENUE BUDGETED FOR THE COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS AND SPECIAL EVENTS SEEMED TO HAVE BOUNCED BACK. YOU KNOW, AND THEY ARE STILL SEASONAL AS WELL. SO WE STILL HAVE A FEW EVENTS THIS YEAR. THAT SHOULD COME IN THROUGH THIS SPECIAL EVENT. PERMANENT PROCESS, SO I'M I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT REVENUES ARE BEHAVING WELL AND IS EXPECTED. ON THE EXPENSE SIDE AS I WAS SAYING, EVEN WITH THOSE OVER JUDGES IN OVERTIME AND THE LIKE YOU CAN SEE HERE. THAT'S WHERE THAT 40% TOTAL ADDED UP.
47% IN TOTAL PERSONAL SERVICES, SO THAT INCLUDES THE HIGH RUNNING OVER TIME, BUT ALSO THE SHORTAGES OF THE REGULAR SALARIES FOR THE VACANCIES AND HARD TO FILL POSITIONS. 33% ON THE OPERATING CAPITAL OUTLAY IS A VERY SEASONAL EXPENSE. ONCE YOU BUY A FIRE TRUCK YOU'RE DONE. YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT BUYING ONE EVERY MONTH. ALSO THERE'S YOU KNOW SOME VEHICLES THERE. WE ARE SUFFERING AS THE CITY IS. MOST PEOPLE ARE WHEN YOU HEAR THAT VEHICLES AREN'T AVAILABLE BECAUSE MICROCHIPS ARE IN THEM AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WE WERE HAVING THE SAME. SUPPLY CHAIN PROBLEMS ON OUR SIDE, ACQUIRING CAPITAL AND OTHER ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN BUDGETED FOR THE YEAR.
DEBT SERVICE. MY STAFF HAS MADE A REAL EFFORT. UM WELL, I'VE BEEN DELAYED ON THE UPGRADE OF OUR SOFTWARE. THEY MADE A REAL EFFORT TO MAKE HARD CLOSE NOW SO BY THE 10TH TO 15TH OF EACH MONTH, THEY HAVE CLOSED OUT THE PREVIOUS MONTH, SO YOU CAN SEE THOSE OTHER USES NON OPERATING THAT SERVICE THOSE KIND OF NUMBERS THAT SOMETIMES WE ONLY ADJUSTED QUARTERLY OR ANNUALLY THERE NOW DOING MONTHLY, SO IT GIVES US A MUCH BETTER LOOK OF THOSE TRANSFERS BETWEEN THE FUNDS AND OTHER NON OPERATING EXPENSES. SO AGAIN VERY HAPPY TO REPORT ON THAT. AND NOW I WOULD BE OPEN TO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOU ANSWERED QUITE A FEW OF MY QUESTIONS. READY. AND JUST. CPI INDEX WAS 9.1% TODAY FOR FLORIDA SOUTH REGION THAT WE TRACK. HOW MUCH 9.1% ALL THOSE
[00:35:13]
LEASES THAT USED TO BE EARMARKED OFF THE C P. I ONLY IF YOU HAVE THAT NOW. ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTION. MR MAYOR. BEFORE THERE'S ANY EMOTION, ENTERTAINMENT OR ANYTHING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I DID HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT GAS AND THE RAISING COST OF GAS THAT'S OCCURRED AND HOW HAS IT AFFECTED US? WE HAVEN'T HAD TO DO ANY TRANSFERS OR ANYTHING YET TODAY AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, BEING IN THE NEGATIVE ON GAS WE ARE WATCHING THAT AND LOOKING AT THAT FOR NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETING ITEM, BUT TODAY WE'RE STILL THERE. WE'RE NOT. WE'RE NOT HAVING TO DO ANY TRANSFERS. UH, I DON'T WANNA INTERRUPT YOU. OKAY? WE THERE WAS SOME PUSHBACK FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEADS SAYING THAT YOU KNOW WE WERE CRAZY DOWN AND FINANCE, BUT WE WIN AT $4 A GALLON. FOR GAS FOR THIS YEAR, AND IT'S KIND OF PAID OFF. IT WAS. IT WAS A JUMP IN THE IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL BUDGETS, BUT WE JUST LOOKING AT SOME OF THE NUMBERS AND THE TRENDS. THE CITY PURCHASES GAS IN BULK AMOUNTS, SO WE GET A SLIGHT DISCOUNT FOR BUYING IN BULK. BUT EVEN OUR PRICES INCREASED THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE IS AT THE PUMP BY THE SCENE. PERCENTAGE INCREASE, BUT WE HAD BUDGETED AT $4 A GALLON FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. SO THESE LITTLE DIPS BUT BACK BELOW FOUR AND THEN ABOVE FOUR. HELP US SMOOTH IT THROUGH THEM. WELL, SEEING HOW CLOSE A LOT OF THESE NUMBERS ARE TO THE 50% MARK. I APPRECIATE ALL. THE DEPARTMENT HEADS APPRECIATE OUR CITY MANAGER. I APPRECIATE YOUR CRAZINESS, MR BUGLIOSI. UM I DO WANT SO BUILDING PERMITS. YOU KNOW AT 80% RIGHT NOW. THAT'S NOT SEASONAL. LET ME CLOSE TO EXPECT THAT THAT COULD BE AT 260% OF PROJECTIONS. YES I'VE BEEN DEPENDING ON WHAT? DEPENDING ON WHAT PROJECTS GET APPROVED. I MEAN, THERE'S A NORMAL DISTRIBUTION OF FENCE PERMITS PULLED PERMITS. YOU KNOW THOSE KIND OF THINGS THAT RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES POLE YOU KNOW, EVERY YEAR, THERE'S A CERTAIN BASE AMOUNT THAT WE GET EVERY YEAR. BUT YES, IF A LARGE DEVELOPMENT COMES IN, THAT NUMBER GOES UP. PER FLORIDA STATE STATUTE. THAT BUDGET THAT WE ESTABLISHED WAS THE COST OF THE BUILDING PERMIT DEPARTMENT AND THE INDIRECT COSTS THAT WE CHARGE. FOR ADMINISTERING THAT.AND SO THAT REVENUE NUMBER THAT WE'RE SHOOTING FOR IS TO JUST BREAK EVEN AND COVER. OUR COST.
IS THIS NUMBER IS IT SAFE TO SAY THIS NUMBER TWO CAN REFLECT. HOW THE CURRENT MARKET IS RIGHT NOW.
DO FENCES. SMART NEW POOLS, ADDITIONS TO HOUSES, STUFF THAT DOES NOT COME TO THE COMMISSION FOR APPROVAL FOR A PERMIT. ARE THOSE SMALL PROJECTS AS WE'VE COME OUT OF COVID GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT, A LARGE ENOUGH IMPACT ON THIS NUMBER THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE OR IS THE MAJORITY OF THIS NUMBER. LARGE SCALE PROJECT. THE 50% MARK WOULD BE WHAT WE NORMALLY EXPECTED REGULAR DISTRIBUTION OF THOSE PULL PERMITS AND FENCE PERMITS. I REFER TO IT BEING AT 80% AT THIS POINT IN THE YEAR IS DEFINITELY DUE TO LARGE SCALE, ONE OFF PERMITS AND PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN PULLED THANK. WITH REGARD TO THE GUESTS. DO WE HAVE MUCH OF OUR FLEET? DO WE KNOW THAT HAS ANY TYPE OF GUESTS SAVING VICE WITH I KNOW WE HAVE THE TRAMS THAT OUR SOLAR SOME OF THEM ARE SOLAR ELECTRIC. YEAH YOU KNOW. YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT LIKE THEY CALLED HIM FORCE, MINT AND OTHER PEOPLE. WHAT IS THEIR FUTURE IN TERMS OF SUSTAINABILITY TO TRY TO GET OUR FLEET AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE? SO THERE ARE PART OF OUR SUSTAINABILITY PLAN THERE IS, UM LANGUAGE IN THERE TO TARGET HYBRID VEHICLES AND ELECTRIC VEHICLES. SOME OF OUR CURRENT CARS ARE HYBRIDS. WE YOU GUYS RECALL, WE DID BUDGET FOR SOME POLICE VEHICLES THAT ARE HYBRID VEHICLES. HOWEVER WE DON'T YOU CAN'T GET THEM. WE JUST THEY'RE NOT COMING IN. UM, SO THERE IS SOME OF THOSE MECHANISMS IN PLACE, AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT , UM FULL ELECTRIC ON SOME OF OUR VEHICLES AS WELL. BUT RIGHT NOW I MEAN, WE HAVE AN AMBULANCE THAT WE'RE WAITING ON FOR GOING ON THREE YEARS. I MEAN, IT'S JUST YOU'RE JUST NOT GETTING ANYTHING. UM, AND THEN I JUST ALSO WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN. FUNDING. UM WE ARE PROBABLY I'LL BE BRINGING BACK AN ITEM TO YOU. PROBABLY A D AND D ITEM ABOUT THE ART OF FUNDING FOR CURRENTLY SITTING ON ABOUT 1.1 MILLION JUST OVER 1.1 MILLION THAT IS ON DESIGNATED. THERE'S A $500,000 KIND OF EAR TAG FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING PROJECT. AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER 600,000, PLUS THAT IT WAS YOUR TAG FOR KIND OF WORKING WITH THE SALVATION ARMY ON AN ADDITIONAL HOMELESS
[00:40:03]
SHELTERING FACILITY WANTED TO BUILD. IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, AT LEAST NOT WITHIN OUR TIME FRAME FOR THE ARPA, SO I WANTED TO COME BACK TO YOU GUYS AND DISCOVER WHAT IT IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH THOSE THAT PARTICULAR FUNDING. THAT'S THE BALANCE. ONE MORE NOTE BLOCKS. THE UNFORTUNATE WELL. FORTUNATELY UNFORTUNATELY, THE BUDGET'S GONNA LOOK DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. BECAUSE WE ARE WE'RE BUDGET OFFICE OF ONE. OR TWO AND WE'RE UPGRADING THE SOFTWARE. SO THE BUDGET DOCUMENT THAT YOU'VE BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO NOW FOR SEVERAL YEARS, IT'S GOING TO BE CHANGING . IT'S GOING TO BE MORE ACCESSIBLE ONLINE. MORE INTERACTIVE AND DIGITAL, BUT YES, SO THE BUDGET IS GOING TO LOOK DIFFERENT THIS YEAR, THE REPORTS ARE GONNA LOOK DIFFERENT. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU A LEVEL OF COMFORT A NEIGHBORING GOVERNMENT VERY CLOSE TO US USES THE SAME PRODUCT THAT WE'RE SWITCHING TO. SO IT'S GOING TO LOOK FAMILIAR. THANK THANKS, MAN .

WITH SAID LANDS BEING MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A ATTACHED PROVIDING FREE CONDITIONS PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF ALL DEVELOPMENT ORDERS IN CONFLICT, PROVIDING FOR SOME OF THE ABILITY PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE FOR OTHER PURPOSES. THANK YOU, AND THIS ITEM WILL BE PRESENTED BY MS ERIN WILLETT, CA. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. ERIN WILLETT CUT FOR THE RECORD SENIOR PLANNER WITH THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. THIS IS A MAJOR CONDITIONAL USE AS MR MOORE TOM MENTIONED FOR THE OAKS CLASSICAL CHRISTIAN ACADEMY AT ST MARY'S CHURCH, LOCATED AT 6 23, SOUTH EAST OCEAN BOULEVARD. RESOLUTION NUMBER 44 2022. THE REQUEST IS TO GRANT CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS PERMITTED TO BE ENROLLED AT THE OAKS CLASSICAL CHRISTIAN ACADEMY. A PAROCHIAL SCHOOL IN THE R THREE ZONING DISTRICT. UM AS YOU MAY REMEMBER, THE APPLICANT CAME BEFORE YOU LAST YEAR TO REQUEST MAJOR CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL.TO ALLOW 25 STUDENTS AT THAT POINT IN TIME, THEY HADN'T DONE THE NUMBERS TO MAKE SURE THAT PARKING AND TRAFFIC AND EVERYTHING WOULD WORK FOR THE TOTAL BUILD OUT FOR FIVE CLASSROOMS AT 90 STUDENTS. THEY HAVE DONE THAT. AND NOW THEY'RE COMING BEFORE YOU, UM, FOR A LONG TERM PLAN TO BUILD OUT TO 90 STUDENTS. THE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 2.46 ACRES AND CONSISTS OF TWO PARCELS OPPOSITE ONE ANOTHER, GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION AT SOUTHEAST OCEAN BOULEVARD AND SOUTHEAST AMERICA AVENUE. THE ZONING OF THE SUBJECT. PROPERTY IS R THREE. AND THE FUTURE LAND USE IS OFFICE RESIDENTIAL I'M GOING TO HAVE THE APPLICANT COME UP AND PRESENT THEIR PORTION OF THE PROJECT AND THEN STAFF WILL CONCLUDE THE PRESENTATION. THE EVENING. THANK YOU FOR HM. HAVING US HERE TONIGHT? MY NAME IS KATE. DO IT HERE ON BEHALF OF THE OAKS ACADEMY, AND WE'RE REQUESTING THE MAJOR CONDITIONAL YOUTH. FOR THE SCHOOL TO BE EXPANDED. UM AND OUR PROJECT TEAM IS MISS KATIE CRUZ, WHO'S HEAD OF SCHOOL. THIS NORMALLY O MALIA AND SUSAN ORGANS ARE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING. WE'RE ALL VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE SUBJECT SITE, BUT WE'LL GO THROUGH THE STEPS AS NEEDED. WE'RE LOCATED SOUTH OF MARK MEMORIAL HOSPITAL . WE HAVE RESIDENTIAL SURROUNDING US ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF PRIMARILY SURROUNDED BY THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS DISTRICT WITH STEWART MIDDLE SCHOOL TO THE SOUTHWEST. THE SCHOOL AND CHURCH IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF OSCEOLA STREET NORTH SIDE OF EAST OCEAN BOULEVARD AND IS BISECTED BY AMERIGO AVENUE. THE PROPERTY HAS A CURRENT
[00:45:02]
ZONING OF THE R THREE MULTI FAMILY OFFICE IN THE LAND USE OF OFFICE RESIDENTIAL AND WE ARE NOT PROPOSING ANY CHANGES TO THE EXISTING ZONING OR LAND USE. THAT'S IN PLACE TODAY. THE PROPERTY CAN INCLUDE THE CHURCH SANCTUARY ON THE EASTERN PARCEL, ANCILLARY CHURCH OFFICES ON THE WESTERN PARCEL. IN THE LUCIDO AND ASSOCIATES OFFICE, ALSO ON THE EAST PARCEL. THIS SMALL BUILDING ON THE WEST PARCEL IS WHERE THE OAKS ACADEMY CURRENTLY IS LOCATED. THAT'S WHERE THEY HAVE THE CLASSROOMS TODAY WITH THE 25 STUDENTS THAT YOU HAVE APPROVED LAST YEAR, AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE CURRENTLY UNDER THAT 25 CAPACITY. ST MARY'S CHURCH WAS INITIALLY CONSTRUCTED IN 1947 AROUND 1964. PRESCHOOLS ESTABLISHED SOMETIME IN THAT TIME FRAME. UM IT WAS IN OPERATION FOR OVER 25 YEARS. THE DOCUMENTATION IS VERY SPARSE ON THE INITIAL APPROVAL OF THE PRESCHOOL, HOW LONG IT EXISTED FOR BUT WE GOT SOME GOOD BACKGROUND FROM LARRY MESSINA RL PA HEARING WHO WHO DID THE CODE INSPECTION OR THE FIRE FIRE MARSHAL INSPECTION ON THAT PROPERTY BACK A LONG TIME AGO. UM IN 2000 AND FIVE. THE PARKING LOT RE STRIPING PERMIT WAS APPROVED, AND THAT'S THE CURRENT PARKING CONFIGURATION. THAT'S IN PLACE TODAY, WHICH WE ARE NOT PROPOSING ANY CHANGES TO AND THEN MOST RECENTLY WAS LAST YEAR WHEN WE CAME BEFORE YOU FOR A REQUEST FOR THE 25 STUDENTS. TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON HOW THE OAKS OPERATES. IT'S A IT'S A FIVE DAY WEEK SCHOOL WITH PARTIAL INSTRUCTION OCCURRING ON SITE ON THE ST MARY'S PROPERTY, WITH THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE INSTRUCTION OCCURRING AT HOME WITH A PARENT. RIGHT NOW, OVER THE LAST SCHOOL YEAR, THOSE IN SCHOOL DAYS WHERE TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS AND THEN THE STUDENTS ARE HOME, WITH THEIR PARENTS DOING THE HOME BASED LEARNING ON THE MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY. SO IT'S A VERY GOOD HYBRID FOR FAMILIES WHO WANT TO BE MORE INVOLVED IN THEIR IN THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. THE APPROVAL TONIGHT WILL BE FOR K THROUGH EIGHT.CURRENTLY, THE SCHOOL GOES TO SIXTH GRADE. BUT AS YEARS. PROGRESS AND THOSE YOUNGER SIBLINGS COME IN THE OLDER SIBLINGS MOVE UP, THEY'LL GO TO EIGHTH GRADE. SO THE SUBJECT REQUEST IS TO MODIFY THE CONDITIONAL USE THAT WAS APPROVED LAST YEAR TO ALLOW FOR 90 STUDENTS. AND THIS 90 STUDENTS WILL OCCUR AS AS AARON HAD MENTIONED OVER THE COURSE OF TIME. IN A 5 TO 7 YEAR BUILD OUT , BUT WE WANT TO COME HERE BEFORE YOU GIVE THE FULL BUILD OUT THAT WAY. WE'RE NOT HAVING TO COME BACK AND REACT TO CHANGES. WE CAN BE PROACTIVE AND ACCEPTING ENROLLMENT AS THE YEARS GO ON. AS I SAID, BEFORE, THERE'S NO CHANGES TO THE PHYSICAL BUILDINGS OR ANY OF THE PARKING LOT. NO CHANGES TO LANDSCAPING. ANYTHING OF THAT SORT WERE ONLY UTILIZING EXISTING SURPLUS PARKING WITHIN THE ST MARY'S PROPERTY. RIGHT NOW. THERE'S 13 PARKING SPACES OF SURPLUS THAT ARE NOT ALLOCATED TO THE CHURCH, THE EXISTING OFFICE SPACE AND FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE NUMBERS. THE CHURCH IS ALLOCATED . 51 SPACE IS BASED ON THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SANCTUARY. THE OFFICE IS A LOT OF 22 SPACES BASED ON THE CODE REQUIREMENT FOR GENERAL OFFICE AND THE SCHOOL. WOULD IT BE ATTRIBUTED THAT ADDITIONAL 13 SPACE SURPLUS AND SO, AS YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE CHURCH AND SCHOOL, IT'S A GREAT RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE THE CHURCH IS MOSTLY OPERATING ON THE WEEKENDS. THE SCHOOL IS DURING THE WEEK SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE ONLY USING THOSE 13 SURPLUS PARKING SPACES, WHICH IS, WHICH IS WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED BY CODE, IN ESSENCE, BECAUSE OF THE USE IS BEING ON OPPOSITE ENDS. YOU END UP WITH ADDITIONAL SPACES, EVEN MORE SO THAN THAT DURING THE WEEK THAT THE CHURCH IS NOT UTILIZING. AND THE TRAFFIC STUDY THAT SUSAN WORKS OFFICE COMPLETED. ANALYZE THE AM AND PM PEAK HOUR TRIPS, AND IT'S DETERMINED THAT THE PROJECT IMPACT IS COMPLETELY DEMUS. THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS WARRANTED ON ANY OF THE EXTERIOR ROADWAYS. SO WE TALK ABOUT THIS FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND PICK UP AND DROP OFF. SO GOING BACK TO WE HAVE. THE SCHOOL IS LOCATED IN THE BUILDING TO THE SOUTHEAST, AND THE FUTURE CLASSROOMS WOULD BE ACROSS THE ACROSS THE DRIVE. I'LL THERE CURRENTLY DROP OFF OCCURS BETWEEN 805 AM AND 8 15 AM PICK UP OCCURS FROM THREE O'CLOCK TO 3:10 P.M. AND TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW THE CARS ARE GOING TO CIRCULATE THROUGH THE SITE. THEY'RE GOING TO COME IN OFF OF US. YOLA STREET CIRCLE DOWN TO AMERIGO THROUGH THE PROPERTY AND THEN DO A RIGHT TURN OUT ONTO EAST OCEAN, SO THE LEFT TURN ONTO EAST OCEAN WILL NOT BE PERMITTED. BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE CARS ARE BACKED UP BECAUSE THE PARENTS WAITING TO MAKE THAT LEFT HAND MOVEMENT ONTO THE
[00:50:01]
ROADWAY. AND THERE WILL BE UM THERE'LL BE A PARENT. I'M SORRY . TEACHERS FROM THE FROM THE SCHOOL WILL BE OUTSIDE AND BE THE ONES FACILITATING THE DROP OFF AND PICK UP FOR THE STUDENTS AS THE CARS ARE PARKED. AND THEY WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO BECAUSE IT'S VERY CLOSE. KEEP AN ITEM PICK SURE THAT TRAFFIC IS NOT BEING STOPPED BECAUSE SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO GO A ROUTE AND THIS PATHWAY AND THIS WHOLE SYSTEM A PICKUP AND DROP OFF. IS THOROUGHLY EMBEDDED IN THE SCHOOL'S PARENT HANDBOOK. SO THE SAME PLACE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND THE UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS ABSENT DETAILS WHAT TIME THEY NEED TO BE AT SCHOOL BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS. THIS IS ALSO PART OF THAT. SO WHEN A PARENT COMES IN, AND THEY SIGNED THE HANDBOOK, THEY'RE SIGNING THAT THIS IS THE CIRCULATION PROCESS THAT'S BEEN APPROVED AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE ALL ADHERING TO, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THIS CONTINUES FOR YEARS TO COME. SO AND THIS IS OUR THE DROP OFF PICKUP LOCATION WITH OUR WITH OUR FACULTY MEMBERS THERE. SO THE QUEUING ANALYSIS AT MAX CAPACITY THAT MEXICAN CAPACITY BEING THE NINETIES STUDENTS WHICH WERE STILL A FEW YEARS AWAY FROM BUT EVALUATING THAT MAXIMUM CAPACITY, THE TRAFFIC STUDY. IS WARRANTY, 75 FT OF QUEUING. OR THREE CARS. CURRENTLY ON SITE WE'RE ABLE TO. WE'RE ABLE TO Q 200 FT AND SIX CARS, SO WE'RE OVER DOUBLE THE QUEUING REQUIREMENT. OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY. WE HAD A GREAT MEETING WITH THE L P A TWO WEEKS AGO AND RECEIVED UNANIMOUS APPROVAL, AND WE'VE HAD A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH YOUR STAFF. EVERYONE HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND POSITIVE AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS. AND SO WE WOULD REQUEST APPROVAL FROM YOU TONIGHT, AND WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. AND IF I HAVE ANY GIVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER. THANK YOU, MR WITT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, KATE. I WOULD LIKE I'M JUST GOING TO FINISH UP HERE REAL QUICK. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED THREE LEVELS.THREE LETTERS OF SUPPORT ONE FROM ST MARY'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, ONE FROM LUCIDO AND ASSOCIATES.
AND ONE FROM A GENTLEMAN NAMED EDWARD JUSTICE, WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE PARK PHARMACY ACROSS THE STREET. WE HAVE RECEIVED ZERO LETTERS OF OPPOSITION. THE APPLICANT HAS POSTED PUBLIC NOTICE AND SIGNED AN AFFIDAVIT ATTESTING TO THE NOTIFICATION STAFF DOES RECOMMEND THE CITY COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION 44. THE LP DID UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION MOVED TO APPROVED DIFFERENCE. COMMUNICATION SECOND THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL BY VICE MAYOR MCDONALD AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CLARK. ANY COMMENTS ON THE MOTION FROM MEMBERS WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT THESE LADIES WERE SO PLEASANT TO WORK WITH HIM. OR WHAT WAS LIKE THAT . BUT THANK YOU, LADIES. I WISH YOU THE BEST IN YOUR CHILDREN. YEAH. AND MAYOR LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT ALSO. I DIDN'T WORK WITH THEM PREVIOUSLY, BUT I DIDN'T DO IT. BUT SHE MENTIONED ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL. I HAD SOMEONE A SON WAS BORN IN 1990 1986. AND WHEN NINA BAR SICK, DID THE PRESCHOOL HE WENT THERE BY 1990 SON THAT HE WENT TO ST JOE'S. THE SCHOOL HAD GONE AWAY . SAINT GEORGE IS NOT EVEN AROUND ANYMORE PRESCHOOL OR SCHOOL EXCEPT, OF COURSE, AT THE PINES AND HOPE SOUND, SO WE'VE SEEN SOME CHANGES IN THE EAR, AND THOSE WERE TWO VERY GOOD PRESCHOOL, SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE SOME SCHOOL IN BACK THERE. UM, AT THAT LOCATION. ANY ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE MOST COMMENTS. MADAM CLERK. WE'VE PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. MAYOR MATHESON. YES COMMISSIONER BRUNER? YES MA'AM. MCDONALD YES. YES, COMMISSIONER CLARK?

IT AUTHORIZES THE MAYOR AND THE CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE IT. EXECUTE A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER. AND IT ALSO RESCIND ORDINANCE 24 84. 2022. IS IT? JUST A POINT OF[00:55:04]
CLARIFICATION? YES. THE COMMISSION PASSED A RESOLUTION. DIRECTING STAFF. TO DO AN ORDINANCE TO ABANDON THE ALLEYWAY. THEY DID FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE, BUT IT NEVER PASSED. WHAT I HAD SAID TO TOM WAS, IT WAS MY OPINION THAT WE NEEDED TO DO WE NEEDED COMMISSION ACTION. TO NO LONGER MOVE FORWARD ON THE ABANDONMENT AND RESCIND THE PRIOR RESOLUTION TELLING US TO DO IT. AND BECAUSE THE ORDINANCE CAN'T BE RESCINDED BECAUSE IT DOESN'T IT NEVER WAS PASSED. SO IT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS THE COMMISSION TO WITHDRAW ITS ACTION OR DIRECTION FOR THE ABANDONMENT OR DIRECTION TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT ORDINANCE. IN THE WAY OF A RESOLUTION AS A POINT OF CLARIFICATION. WE CAN FIX THAT AFTERWARDS AWAY FROM THE ABANDONMENT BECAUSE THOSE ARE THAT PART OF THE BEAUTY AND BECAUSE WE'RE DOING THIS MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT INSTEAD. OKAY, THE LANGUAGE THAT YOU READ. IT'S ALL FINE. IT'S JUST THE ORDINANCE VERSUS THE RESOLUTION. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE YES. PROCEED ON THE ORDINANCE THAT WAS HALFWAY RED. IT'S BECAUSE THE COMMISSION IS ADOPTING THE ACTION TO CORRECT IT TO READ CORRECT SENDING THE RESOLUTION. TOLD US NOT TO STEP TO DO IT.OKAY. THANK YOU, MR RHODES. GO AHEAD, PLEASE. OKAY SO THIS IS WE ARE RESCINDING THE RESOLUTION THAT NOTICED THE ABANDONMENT AND THE DEVELOPER HAS DECIDED NOT TO PURSUE THAT. IN FACT, THE CONDITION THAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED ALLOWED THE DEVELOPER TO EITHER ABANDONED OR ENTER A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH OUR PUBLIC PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND THE LATTER HAS HE CHOSEN SO WE KNOW THE LOCATION. UM PUMP CITY ROAD EAST SIDE IN BETWEEN THE TWO PARCELS. SO AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE ENTIRE 11 FT WIDE RIGHT AWAY BETWEEN THE PARCELS WILL BE, UH, WILL HAVE ENTERED INTO A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER. THE DEVELOPER WILL IMPROVE. AH THAT PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTAIN IT IN PERPETUITY. SO. RECOMMENDATION IS RESCINDING AND I KEEP CORRECTING MYSELF. IT IS RESCINDING THE RESOLUTION THAT NOTICED THE ABANDONMENT.
AND AGAIN, IT'S FOR THE MAYOR AND THE CITY CLERK WHO ARE NOW OR WILL BE AUTHORIZED AND DIRECTED TO EXECUTE THE ACCESS AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT RELATING TO THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS ON THAT CERTAIN ALLOWAY ALI ALI WAY RIGHT OF WAY , EXCEPT FOURTH IN THE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT. AND WITH WITH THAT STAFF MOVES TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 41 22 AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND THE CITY CLERK TO ENTER INTO THE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT. WITH THE DEVELOPER.

I MEAN, THIS IS PART OF THE PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED IN THE P U D DO IT HAS IT BEEN REPLANTED? DO WE NEED TO DO ANY EDITS TO THE PUY DE SITE PLAN. WE DON'T NEED NECESSARILY TO DO ANY EDITS TO THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE HAVEN'T CHANGED, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE WE NEVER EXECUTED FULLY THE ABANDONMENT. OKAY, WE HAVEN'T CHANGED THE CYCLIST. GREAT.

[01:00:10]
COMMENT. ON THE MOTION. THANK YOU, MR MCCARTHY. SORRY, MR MAYOR. SORRY. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD HAVE. I THOUGHT WHEN WE MET MR DIAZ. SO EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T EVEN THOUGH THE ACTUAL SITE PLAN FOR THE ROOT FOR THE ORIGINAL P U D STILL INCLUDES ALLEYWAY. AND HAS NOT BEEN SUBSUMED AS PROPERTY IN THE P U D DO WE NEED TO PROVIDE THE MAINTENANCE AND PERPETUITY AS A POST FACT CONDITION OF THE P U D. I'M JUST THINKING IF WE OKAY? 25 30 YEARS FROM NOW. WHEN THIS SITE IS. REDEVELOPED OR NO, NO 25 30 YEARS BUT IN 100 YEARS FROM THE SITE IS REDEVELOPED. IS THERE GOING TO BE SOME CONFUSION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE ALLEYWAY STILL EXISTS? AND WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS NO, IT'LL STILL SHOW AS A RIGHT OF WAY. STILL ON THE RESOLUTION WILL MEMORIALIZE THE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT LAND YES, THE REALITY OF IT IS IT'S THE CITY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO MAINTAIN THE ALLEY, RIGHT? I MEAN, THAT'S IT.
