Amendment to the Business Improvement Reimbursement Program]
AMENDMENT TO THE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM. THANK YOU. PANEL.GANDHI SOUTH DOES SIERRA ADMINISTRATIVE FOR THE RECORD. THIS ITEM WAS COMING BEFORE YOU BECAUSE LAST MONTH HOW A BOARD MEMBER, FRANK WALK. I REQUESTED THAT STAFF BRING THIS ITEM FORWARD TO DISCUSS THE SCORING TEAR FOR EVALUATING APPLICATIONS . CURRENTLY WE USE 80 POINT SCORING TEAR. A MINIMUM OF 60 POINTS IS REQUIRED TO QUALIFY FOR THE GRANT. UM AND STAFF WANTED TO KEEP FLEXIBILITY WITH EVALUATING APPLICATIONS. ALSO YOU KNOW, USING PROFESSIONAL.
EXPERIENCE AND PAST APPLICATIONS TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS. UM SO STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT WE KEEP THE MINIMUM SCORING CRITERIA. UH AND WE REVIEW THE APPLICATION BASED ON CASE BY CASE BASIS. AS YOU KNOW, LAST FISCAL YEAR OR JUST THIS PAST GRANT CYCLE, IT WAS ALREADY DIFFICULT TO GET APPLICATIONS AND WE HAD TO DO AN EXTENSIVE PROMOTION OF THE PROGRAM TO GET APPLICATIONS AND WE DID RECEIVE SIX APPLICATIONS . UH FOR THAT CYCLE. SO UM, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT ANY MORE HARDER FOR ANY APPLICATION APPLICANTS OR RESTRICT APPLICANTS FOR APPLYING FOR THE PROGRAM. ALSO STAFF RECOMMENDS NO CHANGES AT THIS TIME UNTIL WE YOU KNOW, WE COULD COME ACROSS OTHER ISSUES AND WE CAN LOOK AT DOING A SCORING TEAR. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? YEAH I'LL START OUT. THE REASON I DID WAS BECAUSE IT. IT WAS MY IMPRESSION. THAT EVERYBODY HAD THE IMPRESSION THAT SOMEBODY ALWAYS GOT. WHATEVER THEY ASKED FOR IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT IF THEY MADE THE HAD THE THING AND THERE WAS NO ADJUSTMENTS THAT WERE ACTUALLY EVER MADE TO ANY OF THOSE. BASED ON WHETHER THEY HAD MORE. I UNDERSTAND THE FLEXIBILITY THING, AND I THINK IT'S GOOD. BUT IT SEEMED TO ME LIKE EVERYBODY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS OKAY. IF YOU MAKE THE 50, THEN YOU GET IT ALL. AND IT WASN'T SOMETHING WHERE THE IDEA WAS THAT YOU TRY TO GET THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO AS MUCH AS THEY CAN. THAT'S REALLY GOING TO IMPROVED. WHATEVER THEIR PROJECT IS TO MAKE IT AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE AND HIT THE CRITERIA STAGE INSTEAD. THERE'S ONLY ONE LEVEL OF INCENTIVE. YOU GET IT OR YOU DIE. IT SEEMED LIKE THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS. IT WAS IF YOU APPLIED FOR YOU GOT YOUR 50. AND IF THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE, THEN WE NEED TO JUST MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR THAT YOU KNOW IF THERE'S LIKE IF SOMEBODY HITS EVERY SINGLE CATEGORY, AND THEY'RE IN THERE AT THE FULL AMOUNT THEN MY FEELING IS THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY GET THERE. 4 100% MATCH. BUT IF THERE'S MISSING COMPONENTS IN THERE, THEN MAYBE THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ADJUSTMENT. AND THERE WAS ONE OTHER REASON I WANTED TO BRING IT BACK, AND THAT WAS JUST TO ADD SOME LANGUAGE AND IT ABOUT MAINTENANCE. THAT IF THEY DO A LAND, LET THE SECTION ON LANDSCAPING IF THEY DO GET MONEY FOR LANDSCAPING. THEN THEY SHOULD. BE REQUIRED TO DO MAINTENANCE AND THOSE WERE THE TWO REASONS WHY I BROUGHT THAT
[00:05:01]
UP. BUDDY ELSE. HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. SO ARE YOU SAYING ON THE HALF THE HALF OF THE AMOUNT AND IF THEY DON'T SCORE AS WELL , THEN THAT AMOUNT SHALL BE ATTACHED TO A DOLLAR AMOUNT, AND MAYBE THEY DON'T GET THE HAT. PERCENTAGE PERCENTAGE. THAT'S WHAT I WAS. I MEAN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE STAFF POSITION ON IT THAT YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO HAVE FLEXIBILITY, BUT IT SEEMED TO ME LIKE THE WAY IT WAS TREATED. BY THE BOARD WAS THAT EVERYBODY'S UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT IF YOU IF YOU APPLY AND YOU'RE OVER 50. THEN YOU GET AND SOME OF THEM MIGHT DESERVE IT MORE THAN OTHERS. AND THAT WAS I JUST BROUGHT IT UP. THE BIGGEST POINT I WANTED TO GET INTO IT WAS ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE. THAT WAS MY BIGGEST REASON. KATIE NIC. WHAT'S THE STATUS OR WE LIKE FULLY FUNDED FOR THIS YEAR . WE'RE LEAVING SOME MONEY ON THE TABLE. THERE IS ABOUT $7000 REMAINING CLOSED THE GRANT CYCLE FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR AND THEN AND SO IF I RECALL CORRECTLY WE WERE KIND OF PUSHING TO GET YOU KNOW, JUST THE APPLICANTS THAT WE I GUESS WHAT I'M WONDERING IS LIKE YOU KNOW IF YOU GO AND START DOING LIKE IT'S HARD TO GET CUTE WHEN YOU'RE LEAVE, YOU KNOW YOU'RE LEAVING CARDS ON THE TABLE, AND THERE'S NOT REALLY THE COMPETITION FOR IT, OR IT'S NOT BEING ABSORB LIKE IT SHOULD . YOU KNOW, LIKE I HAVE NO PROBLEM, FRANK. TO YOUR POINT SAYING, LIKE, HEY, WELL, THIS GUY IS GOING TO DO A REALLY AWESOME PROJECT AND WE HAVE $50,000 TO SPEND AND THIS PROJECT IS NOT SO GREAT. LET'S GIVE THIS ONE THE 50 BECAUSE IT'S A BETTER PROJECT THAN THIS ONE. BUT THE REALITY IS LIKE THIS IS 10 AND THIS IS 10. AND THERE'S STILL 10 LEFT OVER, YOU KNOW. UM, I JUST DON'T I GUESS. MAYBE IT STARTS TO CALL INTO QUESTION LIKE THE WHOLE PROGRAM IN AND OF ITSELF, AND LIKE WHETHER IF PEOPLE ARE KNOCKING DOWN THE DOOR TO GET FREE MONEY, LIKE, WHAT ARE WE DOING RIGHT? IT JUST HASN'T BECOME AS COMPETITIVE YET EVERY YEAR. WE ARE JUST BARELY SPENDING IT. YOU KNOW, THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT'S ALLOCATED FOR THE PROGRAM. OH, IT'S ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO. WELL NO, WE'VE HAD DIFFERENT LAYERS LIKE DIFFERENT CRITERIAS AND STUFF. BUT ABOUT I WOULD SAY ABOUT 88 YEARS OLD. THIS IS BEFORE ME. AH NO, WE WE'VE ALWAYS HAD $50,000 ALLOCATED FOR THE PROGRAM EVERY FISCAL YEAR, AND WE DON'T ALWAYS SPEND ALL OF IT. INITIALLY WE DID. I MEAN, WE USED TO HAVE A BABY. THE BOARD HAS CHANGED LIKE WHEN THEY WHEN IT INCLUDED HURRICANE WINDOWS AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT.THERE WERE MORE APPLICATIONS, SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO LOOK BACK AND SAY WAS THIS YEAR THE SAME AS THIS YEAR BECAUSE IT'S REALLY APPLES AND ORANGES. THE BOARD HAS EVOLVED THE INTENTION OF THE GRANT AND THE PARAMETERS OF THE GRANT. EVERY YEAR. KIND OF WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE. ONE OF THESE MEETINGS WERE AT EXPANDED OR CONTRACTED BASED UPON YOUR OBSERVATIONS OF. OF THE INTENTIONS OF ITS USE. AND WHAT WAS IT BEING USED FOR AND WHO WAS OR WASN'T APPLYING? UM AND IT STAYS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD. I MEAN, THE REALITY IS YOU GUYS COULD EXPAND IT AND DO MUCH MORE OR YOU CAN EXPAND, EXPAND THE MONEY PART, BUT WHAT QUALIFIES RIGHT? I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW. LIKE AT SOME POINT ARE WE BETTER OFF TAKING 50,000 BUCKS AND PUTTING IT INTO CITY OWNED INFRASTRUCTURE OF SOME, YOU KNOW , WHETHER IT'S STREET SIGNS AND STREET LIGHTS OR, YOU KNOW, SIDEWALKS OR YOU KNOW, LIKE, I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT. YOU KNOW IF THE WELL IS BEING LEFT, HALF TAPPED EVERY YEAR, AND YOU KNOW I'D LOVE TO CREATE MORE COMPETITION THERE, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT. YOU KNOW, IT'S MY CONTENTION. LIKE YOU JUST SAID NICK THAT WE USE CITY MONEY FOR CITY PROJECTS. I MEAN, THERE'S FIVE OF US HERE. CHRIS ISN'T HERE TODAY, SO HE'S OUT LIKE GIVE EACH OF US 10 GRAND TO GO AROUND AND DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR THE CITY. WELL I DON'T WANT BUT I YOU KNOW, I NEVER LIKED GIVING CITY MONEY AWAY TO PRIVATE BUSINESS. BUT AT THE SAME TIME THIS IS THIS IS A PROGRAM WE HAVE AND I CAN ALSO SAY I LIKE YOUR IDEA IF WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THIS THING THAT WE DO PUT THE MAINTENANCE COMPONENT IN THERE FOR SURE. SO I THINK WE ALL AGREE ON THAT CORRECT. AND I WAS JUST I MEAN, LIKE THIS IS ONE OF THE MEETINGS WHERE THERE'S NOT A PACKED HOUSE AND LIKE THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT IT, SO I JUST FIGURED NEVER KNOW WHO'S ON ZOOM MIX, RIGHT, BUT BUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW. LIKE YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? IS THERE ANOTHER PROJECT THAT THE C R A. HAS THAT YOU KNOW? 1000 BUCKS DOESN'T BARB. RIGHT AND I THINK A LOT OF BUSINESSES EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT JUST SEEM LIKE $10,000 THAT
[00:10:06]
WE'RE GIVING TO THESE BUSINESSES , BUT THEY'RE INVESTING FAR MORE AND THEY'RE ADDING MORE TO THE PROJECT BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING THIS THIS EXTRA INCENTIVE. MY FEELING IS ON ON YOUR POINTS.THEY ARE THE IT'S A. THE WAY WE CAN DO A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. AND IF THEY AREN'T USING THEM MONEY ISN'T BEING USED. AND MAYBE WE NEED TO LOOK AT HOW MUCH WHEN WE'RE AT BUDGET TIME GOES IN THERE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT'S A WAY TO POTENTIALLY GET PEOPLE TO TAKE A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING PAY MORE TO MAKE THINGS BETTER. AND THE KEY IS TO ARE WE INCENTIVIZING IT PROPERLY IN ORDER TO GET THEM TO MAKE IT BETTER OR ARE ARE WE NOT? OR IS IT NOT BEING PUBLISHED? I DON'T KNOW. BUT IDEA WAS THE PARTNER WAS TO HAVE A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP THAT MADE PEOPLE MATCH AND IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING, THEN THERE THEY DON'T DO IT, BUT IT'S KIND OF JUST ENOUGH MONEY THAT IT MIGHT TAKE THEM OVER THE HUMP. AND I KNOW OVER ON ON CALIFORNIA STREET. THERE WAS A PROJECT THERE THAT IT WAS A FENCE, AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF IN A PLACE WAS REALLY STARTING TO LOOK RUN DOWN. OF HIS LAST YEAR, THE YEAR BEFORE THEY CAME IN AND DID A PROJECT THERE. AND IT REALLY LOOKS GOOD. AND ACTUALLY THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR THEN DID YOU KNOW IT WAS I MEAN, IT DID HAVE A EFFECT, SO I JUST TO THAT POINT THAT Y'ALL WERE MAKING. 30 I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PROGRAM STAY. I THINK IT HAS A BIG IMPACT. BECAUSE IT IS INCENTIVIZING THOSE BUSINESSES TO MATCH THE GRAND UM AND JUST LIKE YOU SAID, IF WE'VE SPENT THAT MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE, AND YOU SAID $50,000 REALLY AS MUCH . SO ARE WE GOING TO SEE A LOT? OR MAYBE IT'S ONE PROJECT. WITH THAT MONEY. I THINK IT'S SPREAD OUT AND HAVING THE COMMUNITY TWO. WE SEE BETTER. I DO HAVE A CONCERN IF WE GO TOWARDS THE PERCENTAGE BASE, THERE'S THE HISTORICAL COMMUNITY IMPACT. AND THERE IS. NEWER BUSINESSES OR THAT CAN EVER GET THAT 100% AND I DON'T KNOW IF I AGREE NECESSARILY THAT UNLESS WE CHANGE AH, IF WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THIS, I WOULD BE JUST FOR THE WAY WE'RE DOING IT.
NOW IT'S EASY TO ADMINISTER FOR STAFF. IT ALSO DOESN'T OPEN US UP FOR SAYING THIS PROJECT. IS MAYBE BETTER THAN THAT PROJECT THAT WE END UP WITH PEOPLE SAY WELL, NO, THAT'S NOT REALLY TRUE. THIS IS REALLY NICE AND SIMPLE. FOR STAFF TO LOOK AT. AND TO GIVE A MARK TWO AND FOR US TO SAY, YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE. IF WE GET INTO PERCENTAGES OR ANYTHING ELSE, I THINK WE WILL BE OPENING OURSELVES UP. WHAT PROBLEMS? WITH HOW WE DO THINK SO. IF WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE PROGRAM, THAT'S FINE BECAUSE I GAVE UP ARGUING ABOUT THIS PROGRAM YEARS AGO. UM I THINK THE WAY IT'S BEING ADMINISTERED NOW, WITH FRANK'S ONE SUGGESTION ABOUT MAINTENANCE MAKES THE MOST SENSE. OKAY. AH! GO AHEAD. NO, I AGREE. I HAVE ONE, MAYBE A SUGGESTION. IF. JUST TO KIND OF TIE IN WITH ALL OF THIS. BASED ON THE FACT THAT IT WASN'T ALL SPENT, AND THERE IS $10,000 YEAH. THERE WAS LANGUAGE AND I GUESS I'M I'M ASKING THE CITY ATTORNEY. MAYBE IF THAT MONEY IF THERE'S THE OP OPTIONS OPPORTUNITY TO PUT. TO HAVE A PROJECT THAT WE THINK WE SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OR SOMETHING. THAT WE COULD THEN SHIPPED THE MONEY TOO. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW. LET'S BACK UP FOR A SECOND AND JUST FUNDAMENTALLY. THE C R A IS 100% DRIVEN BY THE C R A PLAN. THE CRB IS THE ADVISORY BOARD TO THE CR ABOARD THAT ADOPTS AND SETS FORTH THE POLICY OF THAT PLAN. IF YOU GUYS IN THIS BUDGET CYCLE TIME OF YEAR WERE TO SAY TO THE SIERRA DIRECTOR I WANT TO CANCEL THIS BOARD WANTS TO CANCEL EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM. THE C R A HAS THAT WE WANT TO HAVE ONE ITEM AND WE WANT TO SPEND 100% OF THOSE FUNDS IN THE SIERRA ON THAT ITEM, AND IT MET THE PARAMETERS OF THE STATE STATUTE. THE C R A PLAN. IN THEORY, OBVIOUSLY, THE C R A WOULD HAVE TO ADOPT THAT RECOMMENDATION. BUT IN THEORY THAT'S ABSOLUTELY PLAUSIBLE. IF YOU WANTED NEXT YEAR. THIS $50,000 IN THIS PROGRAM TO BE $150,000. YOU
[00:15:07]
WANTED TO TAKE AWAY FROM ANOTHER ITEM. YOU COULD MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION AND YOU COULD TASK PANEL TO BRING THAT TO THE SIERRA AND OBVIOUSLY, DEPENDING ON IF THE MONEY WAS THERE OR NOT, IT COULD IN FACT HAPPEN. OBVIOUSLY THE STUFF SHE PRESENTS YOU IS HOW SHE'S GOT IT BUDGETED AND HOW IT'S HISTORICALLY POLICY BEEN DRIVEN, BUT YOU'RE BORED. CAN EXPAND OR CONTRACT. ANY OF THE POLICIES OR PROGRAMS. SO LONG AS THEY ARE STILL MEETING THIS THE MISSION AND INTENTION OF THAT C R A PLAN. THAT EFFECTIVELY EVEN CREATES YOUR BOARD. SO MY QUESTION WAS THE WHETHER. THE $10,000 THAT'S LEFT THE PROGRAM IS WAS NOT EXPECT. CAN WE HAVE A MECHANISM THAT WE DO? OBVIOUSLY DURING BUDGET OR THAT 10,000 SHIFTS? SOMEWHERE ELSE. IF IT ISN'T SPENT, SO YOU DO OKAY. STENT THAT THERE'S $50,000 43,000 GETS SPENT. WHEN PENHALL WALKS IN AND SAYS THE YOU GET THE BUDGET REPORT IN THE BUDGET SAYS THERE'S $1 MILLION IN THE C R A ACCOUNT OR WHATEVER. THAT INCLUDES THE $7000 THAT CARRIED FORWARD FROM LAST YEAR AND THAT IS ACCOUNTED FOR IT IN THE ACCOUNTS AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION NEXT YEAR TO BE REALLOCATE, EXACTLY, JUST STAY AT IT DOESN'T IT DOESN'T CARRY FORWARD AND BUILD LIKE A FOUNDATION OR A SEPARATE TRUST.IT GOES BACK TO BASICALLY CR, A SAVINGS, WHICH IS CALLED THE FUN BALANCE. AND THEN MONEY GETS ALLOCATED FOR OTHER PRODUCTS. UNDERSTAND THAT THE QUESTION IS , CAN WE RIGHT NOW? TAKE THAT $7000 AND SAY WE WANT TO BUILD A SIDEWALK OVER HERE. AND THE REASON WHY THE REASON WHY IS THAT YOU ADOPTED THIS PLAN THAT ALLOCATED $50,000 TO THESE PROGRAMS, AND IT DIDN'T SAY. ANY MONEY IS NOT SPENT WILL BE USED FOR THE PARK OR FOR THE SIDEWALK OR FOR A DISCRETIONARY OR WILL CARRY OVER TO THIS OR WILL BE ATTRIBUTABLE. CAN THAT OCCUR? YOU? COULD DO THAT, BUT AGAIN.
THAT WAS MY QUESTION NEED, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE POLICY ADOPTED BY THE C R A. BUT YOU COULD IN FACT, SAY WE'RE GONNA PUT 50 GRAND TO THIS EVERY YEAR AND EVERY AMOUNT THAT ISN'T SPENT IN THAT 50 GRAND IS GOING TO BE CARRIED OVER BUT UNDER THE STATE'S STATUTE AND UNDER THE C R A PLAN, YOU CAN'T HAVE A SAVINGS ACCOUNT. SO YOU HAVE TO A SIGN IT AND ATTRIBUTED TO CAPITAL SOMETHING THAT'S BEING RIGHT. DONE SO YOU CAN'T JUST SET IT ASIDE FOR A RAINY DAY AND HAVE IT WAITING FOR SOMETHING ELSE. THAT WAS MY QUESTION AND ANSWER. I THINK WHAT I STRUGGLE WITH ON THIS IS LIKE YOU HAVE $50,000 ALLOCATED FOR GOVERNMENT . SO LIKE WE HAVE TO SPEND IT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GOVERNMENT DOES, YOU KNOW, LIKE I STRUGGLE WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR SIDE OF ME SAYING, LIKE, WELL IF MY BUSINESS HAD $50,000 LAYING AROUND LIKE THERE IS THERE IS SOMEWHERE WHERE WE ARE GOING TO SPEND THIS IN MULTIPLE, YOU KNOW, LIKE I COULD HAVE A MILLION DOLLARS LAYING AROUND AND I'LL SPEND EVERY PENNY OF IT AND THEN BORROW SOME AGAINST IT TO ACHIEVE. BETTER FOR MY BUSINESS AND LIKE IT'S JUST LIKE A WEIRD SPOT TO BE IN WHERE YOU HAVE $50,000 AND NOW 7000 OF ITS LEFT LAYING AROUND, SO WE DON'T EVER REALLY GREAT ANYTHING AGAINST ANY KIND OF BENCHMARK, OR ANY KIND OF LIKE WHATEVER YOU KNOW, WHAT WOULD WE DO WITH THIS? IF WE IF WE DON'T APPROVE THIS THE MONEY JUST GOES LIKE SO THERE IS NO LIKE IT GOES TO THIS . IT'S ALSO DO YOU WANT TO ADJUST? WHAT QUALIFIES FOR THE MONEY SO THAT YOU GET MORE APPLICATIONS THAN MONEY, OR ARE YOU CONTENT WITH THE PROGRAM THAT IT SUFFICIENTLY ADVOCATES BASICALLY ALL THE MONEY ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, AND IT DOES GET INVESTED BACK IN THE COMMUNITY, AND SO IT'S MEETING ITS NEEDS, AND IT'S DOING WHAT IT'S DOING. WHICH IS BETTER THAT I DON'T THINK EITHER IS A BETTER SOLUTION. BUT IMAGINE IF YOU HAD RIGHT NOW. SEVEN OTHER PEOPLE HAD APPLIED. AND YOU NEEDED ANOTHER 50 GRAND AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE IT. AND SO NOW, YOU WERE TELLING PEOPLE KNOW AND WHO HAS TO BE TOLD NO OR WHATEVER. THAT'S GREAT BECAUSE THE DEMAND IS HIGHER, BUT IT'S MUCH MORE COMPLICATED WHEN IT COMES TO RATING THEM IN QUALIFYING AND WHO'S GOT THE BEST, AND MY NEIGHBORHOOD DESERVES IT MORE THAN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR WHATEVER THE LOGIC BECOMES, IT BECOMES HARD TO GO TOO FAR DOWN THAT WAY, BUT BUT YOU DID SAY THAT WHEN THE BUDGET IS CREATED. THAT WE COULD. RECOMMEND THAT ANY MONIES AREN'T THAT AREN'T SPENT IN THIS PROGRAM. BY THE TIME IT ENDS LIKE IT HAS ENDED NOW. COULD BE SPENT ON A PARK OR
[00:20:05]
SOMETHING, EXCEPT IT CAN'T BE VAGUE RIGHT? AND THE LOOK AT THE LIST IS YOU TOO. DO IT. AND BUT, YES, YOU COULD PICK ANOTHER PROJECT. THE PROBLEM IS, IF YOU DON'T FIND THE OTHER PROJECT, LET'S SAY A PARK AND LET'S SEE THE PARK IS A $300,000 PROJECT. AND YOU SAY ANYTHING THAT'S NOT DONE. WE'RE GOING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PARK PROJECT, BUT BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT FUNDING THE PARK PROJECT, AND IN THEORY, ALL OF THE MONEY COULD GET SPENT NEXT YEAR, ESSENTIALLY NOT FUNDED THE PARK AT ALL. AND THERE'S NO REASONABLE ASSURANCE THAT THE PARKS EVER GOING TO GET BILL BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY REAL DOLLARS ATTRIBUTED TO IT. SO IS THAT LEGALLY COMPLYING WITH THE C R A PLAN IF YOU SET ASIDE $7000 THIS YEAR, BUT NEVER AGAIN. AND THAT'S 7000 CARRIES FORWARD UNTIL YOU GET 300 FOR THE PARK. YOU'RE NOT REALLY BUILDING THE PARK BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE IT. AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT HARD TO DO THAT. WITH THESE YOU GO. ALL RIGHT. I THINK EVERYONE WE HAVE A PROGRAM WE GOT $50,000 ALLOCATED FOR IT. IF WE DON'T SPEND 7000 GOES BACK INTO THE FUND BALANCE. AND WE COULD MAKE IT NEXT YEAR. NOT US , BUT WE COULD RECOMMEND THAT IT BECOMES $57,000 NEXT YEAR IF WE WANTED TO DO IT THAT WAY. BUT I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE FOOLING AROUND. LET'S LET SOME CHAOS. SORRY THAT I THINK I JUST THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX A LOT, AND SO I WAS JUST I WAS OUT THERE OUTSIDE. THINK THE OTHER THING TO UNDERSTAND LIKE FOR THE YOU KNOW FOR THE PROJECTS THAT WE VOTE ON IS LIKE IF WE DON'T APPROVE SOMETHING THAT THAT MONEY GOES BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND, AND THEN GET THE GENERAL FROM THE C R A FUND GOES INTO THE C R. A FUND AND FUNDS AND THEORY OF PROJECT AT SOME POINT IN TIME APPROVED PROJECTS THAT WE THE PROJECT LIKE. WE DENY A PROJECT. IT'S ESSENTIALLY FUNDING ANOTHER PROJECT OF OURS . THE NEXT CYCLE CYCLE, RIGHT? THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION OF LIKE WE NEED TO FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW? BENT ON APPROVING EVERY SINGLE THING THAT COMES TO THE DOOR AND YOU KNOW, WE CERTAINLY SHOULD ADOPT FRANKS. YOU KNOW, CONCEPT MOTION TO THAT MIGHT I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ADD LANGUAGE IN THE LANDSCAPE PART THERE REGARDING MAINTENANCE OF LANDSCAPING SECOND. HOLD ON, LET ME GET A SECOND, THEN WE CAN DISCUSS IT. IN A SECOND. I CAN'T SECOND, RIGHT? CONFUSED OKAY? JUST A SECOND. GO AHEAD, DICK. DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE LIMITED TO LANDSCAPE. OKAY LANDSCAPE LIGHTING, OR, YOU KNOW SOME SORT OF FACADE PAINT OR, YOU KNOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I MEAN, I WILL MODIFY MY FAR INTO THE MOTION PUTTING, YOU KNOW DOLLARS. THAT'S SOMETHING THEY SHOULD AT LEAST MAINTAIN IT FOR. YEARS CORRECT? DID YES. I'M MODIFY YOUR SECOND. YES. OKAY CALL THE ROLL. CAN YOU PLEASE CLARIFY WHAT THE MODIFICATION IS EVERYTHING NOT JUST FOR MAINTENANCE FOR EVERYTHING. IS THERE A TIMELINE ON THAT? DO WE WANT TO PUT A TIMELINE ON THAT STAFF TO FIGURE OUT WHICH REASON BECAUSE DIFFERENT THINGS HAVE DIFFERENT TIMELINES AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS REQUIRE ONE YEAR MAINTENANCE FOR LANDSCAPING. SO I THINK WE COULD MAKE IT THREE YEARS FOR EVERYTHING AT LEAST MINIMUM OF THREE YEARS FROM MAINTAINING.OKAY SURE. SO YOUR SECOND FOR THREE YEARS? YES, OKAY. ALL RIGHT, JACK. YOU. WELL, THE ROLE PLEASE. QUESTION IS, THOUGH I'M SORRY TO MONITOR THIS. AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS, DO WE MONITORS THAT THEY WILL BE OUT OF ITS STAFF MONITORS IT THEY MONITOR THAT THEY'RE FOLLOWING IT.
THEY'RE MAINTAINING IT FOR THREE YEARS, AND WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY DON'T WELL, THEY'LL HAVE AN AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENT IF IT'S IF THEY'LL HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY TO MAINTAIN IT FOR THREE YEARS. THERE COULD BE SOME STIPULATION. THEY LIKE THAT RETURN FUNDS. I DON'T KNOW THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING A POLICY THING AGAIN. THERE. PENIS WILL PAINT A SCARLET LETTER ON THEIR DOOR. THERE'S NO CLAWBACK MORTGAGE. YEAH YES, YES. OKAY SO WE HAVE WE HAVE EMOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND. IT MAY WORK OUT. FOR THE ROLE, PLEASE. BOARD MEMBER MAKE HAMSON. CHAIR CAMPENNI CHAIR. DULY REMEMBER SHRODES? YES. BOARD MEMBER WAKA. STAFF UPDATE
[3. Update on the Division of Historical Resources (DHR) Small Matching Grant Applications]
UPDATE ON THE DIVISION OF HISTORICAL RESOURCES, SMALL MARKETING GRANT APPLICATION.SINCE THE CRV ALSO SERVES AS A STEWARD. HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD STAFF HAS AN UPDATE ON THE
[00:25:06]
SMALL MATCHING GRANT APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED. TO THE DIVISION OF HISTORIC RESOURCES LAST YEAR. ER, A PARTNERED WITH MAIN STREET APPLY FOR SMALL MATCHING GRANT TO UPDATE THE 1991 HISTORIC BUILDING SURVEY. CURRENTLY THAT APPLICATIONS RANKED NUMBER 12 OUT OF THE 46 APPLICATIONS THAT THE STATE RECEIVE. AND WE ANTICIPATE TO GET NOTIFICATION OF THE AWARD NEXT MONTH. IN THE MEANWHILE THE AREAS ALSO PURSUING A NOMINATION OF EAST STEWART NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES FOR HISTORIC DISTRICT.THE PROPOSED AREA MUST BE DETERMINED, ELIGIBLE BY THE STATE OF, UH FOR HISTORIC DISTRICTS. SO SIERRA HAS HIRED A CONSULTANT TO PREPARE A PRELIMINARY REPORT. UM HE'S OUR . HE'S ALSO CONDUCTED PRELIMINARY SITE. UH INFORMATION FORM THAT'S BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE DIVISION FOR REVIEW. UM IF IT IS DEEMED ELIGIBLE WE'LL HAVS OF ESTABLISHING EASTERN AS A HISTORIC DISTRICT. UM AND TO DO THAT FORMAL PROCESS WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDING. SO CRE PARTNERED WITH MAIN STREET AGAIN TO APPLY FOR A SMALL MATCHING GRANT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024. FOR DISTRICT NOMINATION. UM TOGETHER WITH THE CR WITH THE CITY'S GRANT, ADMINISTRATOR, SCIARRA AND THE CITY'S CONSULTANT. WE PUT TOGETHER THE APPLICATION, UM FOR THE STATE TO REVIEW FOR GRANT. THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE STATE LAST LAST WEEK. UM AND WE WILL BE PROVIDING THE SUPPORTING , UH, ONGOING SUPPORT FOR THE GRANT. SHOULD WE RECEIVE IT? MAIN STREET HAS APPLIED FOR THE GRID. BUT CITY STAFF HAS, UH, COMPLETED THE APPLICATION AND WILL BE PROGRAM PROVIDING ONGOING SUPPORT. WILL ALSO BE HIRING A CONSULTANT. UM TO PRODUCE THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC DISTRICT NOMINATION FOR THE BLACK HERITAGE DISTRICT OF EAST STEWART. UM SO THIS IS WHAT THE SCHEDULE LOOKS LIKE. LAST YEAR WE APPLIED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 SMALL MATCHING GRANT TO UPDATE THE HISTORIC BUILDING SURVEY. AND WE EXPECT TO GET THE NOTIFICATION NEXT MONTH AND THE WORK COULD BEGIN AUGUST 2022 GOING ON TO MAY 2023. THEN WE'VE APPLIED FOR THE SECOND SMALL MATCHING GRANT FOR THE HIS EAST STEWART HISTORIC DISTRICT NOMINATION, AND, UM, THAT WAS SUBMITTED EARLIER THIS MONTH, AND WE ANTICIPATE NOTIFICATION BY NEXT YEAR JULY 2023. THEN WE COULD START THE WORK ON THE ACTUAL NOMINATION IN AUGUST. 2023 AGAIN THAT'S DEPENDENT ON UM IF WE GET THE ELIGIBILITY RECOMMENDATION FROM THE FROM THE DISTRICT WE EXPECT TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. MAYBE IN A MONTH OR SO. WE'VE SUBMITTED THE INITIAL REVIEW PRELIMINARY STUDY AND WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED COMMENTS . POSITIVE COMMENTS FROM THEM, UH, EARLIER THIS WEEK. AH SO WE DO HAVE OUR CONSULTANT PAUL WEAVER ONLINE ON ZOOM, UH, AND HE WOULD LIKE TO JUST SHARE SOME INFORMATION WITH YOU MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORK THAT HE'S DONE SO FAR. AND WHAT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WHAT THE BENEFITS OF THE DESIGNATION WOULD MEAN FOR THE EAST STEWART UH, CAN YOU HEAR ME? YEAH. OKAY. GREAT. I'M PAUL WEAVER. AND, UH, YOU KNOW THE SLIDE, UH, LISTENER, MY NAME AND OUR COMPANY. UM IF YOU NOTICE THAT THE SECOND SLIDE, WE DID THE ORIGINAL HISTORIC BUILDING SURVEY OF STEWART BACK IN 1991 HARD TO BELIEVE 30 YEARS HAVE GONE BY. I'M NOT SURE PENELOPE WAS BORN THEN, BUT, UH WE AMAZING HOW? HOW QUICKLY TIME GOES BY, BUT WE DID THAT INITIAL SURVEY AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE PANEL AND JACKIE MAY OF THE CITY STAFF OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. TO PREPARE A PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF THE EAST STEWART COMMUNITY. IT WAS VERY FASCINATING. THE WORK ON IT. UM I REMEMBER A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT FROM 1991. BUT THIS IS A COMMUNITY THAT REALLY HELPED BUILD STEWART. WE GOT IN AND WE WERE ABLE TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND CENTRA IN CENSUS DATA. AND PEOPLE CAME FROM ALL OVER FLORIDA, GEORGIA, SOUTH CAROLINA AND PARTICULARLY IN THE BAHAMAS TO WORK ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE HORT EAST COAST RAILWAY. THE CITRUS INDUSTRY AND PARTICULARLY THE PINEAPPLE INDUSTRY, AND MANY
[00:30:02]
OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT CAME CAME FROM THE BAHAMAS AND WE WERE ABLE TO DOCUMENT IT. SO IT'S VERY EXCITING. I THINK IT'S AN AREA THAT IS LONG OVERDUE TO BE RECOGNIZED. IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OF STEWART. IT WAS ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS LINCOLN PARK. WAS PLANTED IN 1930 30. EXCUSE ME, 1913 AND HAD ONE OF THE FIRST THREE PARTS IN THE CITY. IT WAS ALSO IMPORTANT DURING THE CIVIL RIGHTS ERA AND HAVE SO VERY A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS.UH THE NUMBER OF CHURCHES. UM THE, UH, EAST STEWART INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL, WHICH WAS THE FIRST BLACK HIGH SCHOOL AND STEWART SO WE HAVE HAS BEEN BANAL. INDICATED WE COMMIT THAT WE COME COMPLETED THEIR INITIAL STUDY. AND GOTTEN SOME FEEDBACK. AND IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NATIONAL REGISTER SLIDE. IT'S ONE BEFORE THIS, SO I WANTED TO IF THIS IS COMPLETED WHAT HAVE REALLY BEEN TALKING ABOUT INITIALLY AS THE RECOGNITION FOR ALL THOSE REASONS I MENTIONED BUT. I WORK HERE IN SAINT AUGUST. I'M IN SAINT AUGUSTINE, FORWARD TO AND IT WORKED IN THE LINCOLN VILLE COMMUNITY. UM, WHICH IS ANOTHER C R. A UM, ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS WHEN WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THERE IS GETTING GRANTS COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY UH, FOR A NUMBER OF THE TRADITIONALLY AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES. AND IT'S PENELOPE. YOU WANT TO GO TO THE FINAL SLIDE? SO I THINK THERE'S A RECOGNITION FACTOR, AND THE OTHER IMPORTANT FACTOR IS GRANTS. AND THESE HISTORICALLY BLACK COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN EARMARKED. AH FOR GRANT FUNDING . I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF CHURCHES I'M WORKING ON OVER IN APPALACHIA. COAL WAS A MATTER OF FACT. SO OUR HOME IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL, AND I'M VERY OPTIMISTIC WE WILL BE TO GET THIS, UH, STUART COMMUNITY DESIGNATED AS A NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT. WE'LL BRING SOME RECOGNITION TO THE COMMUNITY. AH GET IT HOPEFULLY ON THE BLACK HERITAGE TRAIL AND ALSO BE ABLE TO KIND OF COORDINATE WITH YOUR CRM PROGRAM AND BRING SOME ADDITIONAL MONEYS INTO THE COMMUNITY FOR, UH, INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS ON SOME OF THE HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND MAYBE JUST THE OVERALL AREA THEIR EDUCATIONAL GRANTS. AH MARKER MONEY FOR HISTORIC MARKERS THAT TYPE OF THING AND FOR BRICKS AND MORTAR PROJECTS AS WELL. SO WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MIGHT HAVE. AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME TODAY QUESTIONS. NOW IT'S INTERESTING READING THE GOOD JOB. I HAVE ONE. WHEN THEY'RE ONE WHEN AN OWNER REQUESTS A HISTORICAL DESIGNATION. KICK DOES THAT PREVENT THE OWNER FROM MAKING REPAIRS AND UPGRADES TO THAT PROPERTY? FOR SELLING. NO, IT DOESN'T. IF YOU KEEP IN MIND THE REGULATORY POWER IN THE UNITED STATES IS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. SO UNLESS YOU HAD A LOCALLY DESIGNATED DISTRICT AND YOU CREATED A REVIEW BOARD SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU HAVE UH, THEN, UH, THAT WOULDN'T OCCUR.
UM THIS IS A INCENTIVE BASED PROGRAM. SO, UH, IT WOULD BE GRANT MONEY IF SOMEONE RECEIVES A GRANT. UM, FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THE CHURCHES OVER THERE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ADHERE TO WHAT ARE KNOWN AS THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIORS STANDARDS, WHICH ARE FACING FEDERAL, UH, HISTORIC PRESERVATION GUIDELINES. BUT THAT'S THAT'S ONLY IF THEY VOLUNTARILY. UH APPLY FOR AND RECEIVE THE GRANT. SO THIS IS NOT GONNA AFFECT YOU KNOW THE SOMEBODY WANTS TO PAINT THEIR HOUSE. SOMEBODY WANTS TO, UH, PULL A LOCAL PERMIT FOR AN ADDITION OR WINDOW REPLACEMENT OR WHATEVER IT BE, THAT WOULD BE STRICTLY UP TO YOU KNOW THE CITY OF STEWART TO DO THAT, IF THEY SO DESIRE. WE'RE NOT RECOMMENDING THAT AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME. THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, WE THINK THIS IS A POSITIVE FIRST STEP STEP RECOGNITION AND AGAIN. SOME MONIES FOR THE COMMUNITY, BUT IT'S JUST GOING TO BE, UH ON. YOU KNOW, WHOEVER WANTS TO IF IT'S A CITY OR AN INDIVIDUAL, ONE OF THE CHURCHES, FOR EXAMPLE , IT WOULD BE VOLUNTARY AND THERE ARE I MEAN, THERE WOULD BE CONDITIONS WITH THAT. BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO DO IT. THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. UH THERE THERE WOULD NOTHING BE THERE WOULD BE NOTHING FORCED ON THEM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AT ALL. THE QUESTION, SO THIS IS TO GET THE HISTORIC. PROPERTIES IN
[00:35:10]
EAST STEWART ON THE REGISTRY OF THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. IT WOULD BE , AND THAT'S PART OF THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH. AND IF BANAL, MAYBE YOU CAN SHOW THE MAP. THE AREA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. WE'RE OUR INITIAL LOOK. IS THAT THIS AREA, SO WHERE YOU SEE THE BLUE LINE AROUND IT.THAT'S THE THAT'S THE AREA THAT'S UNDER DISCUSSION. THEY ALL LIKELIHOOD IT WILL NOT. BE EXACTLY LIKE THIS. BUT THIS IS WHERE THE CONCENTRATED AREA OF EAST STEWARD IS. SO IT'S GONNA BE A DISTRICT. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE INDIVIDUAL PROPERTIES. JUST GONNA BE THE COLLECTION OF BUILDINGS WITHIN THAT MOVIE LINES, WHICH WHICH REFLECT THAT I THINK THERE'S ABOUT 163.
BUILDINGS AND ALSO THE OLD LINCOLN PARK, WHICH IS NOW I BELIEVE DR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR PARK. SO THAT WOULD BE A SITE AND THAT SITE. I GUESS IT'S OWNED BY THE CITY OF STEWART ITSELF. THERE WAS A PROJECT POTENTIALLY THERE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET GRANT FUNDS. I THINK THAT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE, BUT IT'S A COLLECTIVE. IT'S NOT IN AT THIS POINT WE'RE NOT DOING IN THE INDIVIDUAL BILL. I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. THANK YOU QUESTION AND I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS QUESTION GOES TO. SORRY I'M NOT SURE THIS QUESTION GOES TO, UM, WHEN THIS IS IN PLACE. ARE THERE REGULATIONS ON SAY, TEARING DOWN THESE PRIVATE HOMES BECAUSE, AND THE REASON I'M ASKING THE QUESTIONS WE'RE WORKING WITH THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING ABOUT THE CODE. AND IT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP WITH JESSICA. ABOUT ONE OF THE REASONS WE'RE CHANGING THE CODE IS TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE. EAST STEWART. SO DOES THAT DOES THIS MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THESE PRIVATE PROPERTIES TO SAY, DEMOLISHING OR SELL AND HAVE A DEVELOPER COME IN, AND, YOU KNOW, CHANGE. UM NO, BECAUSE THE YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH OUR LOOK. WE HAVE A CITY ORDINANCE.
SO IF ANY INDIVIDUAL LIKE WE HAVE A TIM ALLEN HOME IN EAST STEWARD THAT HAS A LOCAL REGISTRY AH, DESIGNATION, SO IF THAT HOME WANTED TO GO THROUGH ANY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT THEY WOULD NEED TO COME BEFORE THE THIS DOOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD FOR ANY, UM, IMPROVEMENTS AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE STATE REGULATIONS FOR ARCHITECTURAL JOB SO ONLY IF INDIVIDUALLY IF THEY APPLY FOR THE STUART THAT LOCAL REGISTRY DESIGNATION, UM, THAT WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO GO THROUGH THE BOARD APPROVAL PROCESS. SO THIS ISN'T PROTECTING EAST STEWART.
AND WHAT WE WANT TO GIVE THE OTHER PERSON. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR WEAVER. SEAT NONE. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU . THANK YOU VERY GOOD QUESTIONS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE WORKING ON THIS. IT'S LIKE IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET WITH YOU PEOPLE. THANK YOU, PAUL. YES JACKIE MAY SHE'S OUR GRANT, ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE CITY. AND SHE HELPED WITH THE APPLICATION PROCESS. GOOD EVENING. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD ON TO WHAT MR WEAVER WAS SAYING. AND ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS DESIGNATION IS, OF COURSE, WE WOULD ALL LOVE TO PROTECT THE BUILDINGS THAT WEREN'T THAT. BY ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT THE DESTINATION LIKE THIS IS THERE ARE GRANTS THAT AS PAUL MENTIONED THAT AREN'T NECESSARILY SPECIFIC STRUCTURES . THERE ARE GRANTS THAT JEWISH EXIST TO PROTECT THE CULTURAL HERITAGE. SO LOT, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU VISITED LINCOLN VILLE IN SAINT AUGUSTINE OR FORT PIERCE HAS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN HERITAGE TRAIL AND SEVERAL OTHER CITIES DO AS WELL. WE COULD RECEIVE APPLY FOR FUNDING TO RECOGNIZE THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND THE HISTORY OF THE COMMUNITY INDEPENDENT OF STRUCTURES THAT EXIST OR NO LONGER EXIST. SO REALLY IT'S A WIN WIN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. HE ELSE, PENELOPE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? UM NO. IT'S JUST DURING NOT REGARDING THIS ITEM. OTHER ITEM , NO JUST DOING STAFF COMMENTS. ALRIGHT STAT COMMENTS. OKAY UM, REGARDING THE PARKING STUDY? I BELIEVE THE BOARD ASKED TO BRING THE PARKING STUDY. UH FOR REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS. AH WE HAVE TO HOLD OFF ON THAT ITEM BECAUSE ONE OF THE CITY COMMISSION IS NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE AT THE NEXT JOINT MEETING IN JULY SO THAT IDOL WILL COME BEFORE THE BOARD AT THE NEXT AT THE
[00:40:01]
FOLLOWING JOINT MEETING IN OCTOBER. BUT I WILL BE PRESENTING THE VALLEY PARKING AT THE JOINT MEETING, SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THAT IS BEING HELD UP BECAUSE ONE OF THE COMMISSIONER HAS REQUESTED TO HOLD OFF. OKAY? CAN YOU MAYBE GIVE US JUST LIKE A TWO MINUTE REFRESHER ON LIKE WHERE WE'VE BEEN WITH ALL THESE PARKING STUDIES OVER THE YEARS, BECAUSE I KNOW AND I THINK IT WAS PRE COVID. THERE WAS A PARKING STUDY DONE AND IT HAD RECOMMENDATIONS, AND SOME OF THEM WERE ADOPTED AND THEN COVID JUST KIND OF THREW IT ALL IN THE TRASH. UM BUT NOTE. DO YOU KNOW? KIND OF LIKE WHEN YOU GIVE US YEAH, SO I BELIEVE THE PARTY STUDY WAS CAME BEFORE THE BOARD IN 2018 AND THERE WERE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SHORT TERM IMMEDIATE ACTION MIDTERM IN LONG TERM ACTION. AND UH AH, WE, UH, STAFF RECOMMENDED , UH, FIRST YEAR ACTION PLAN TO BE ADOPTED IN 2018. AND STAFF WAS WORKING TO IMPLEMENT A LOT OF THOSE FIRST YEAR ACTION PLAN . AND THEN THE COVID HIT WERE THOSE LIKE THERE WERE ABOUT EIGHT OR NINE ITEMS. I CAN'T I CAN'T TELL YOU ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD RIGHT NOW. BUT WE IMPLEMENTED MOST OF IT LIKE, UM , YOU KNOW, HAVING A LOCATION FOR UBER, UH, VALLEY PARKING. ALSO EXTENDING THE HOURS TO EIGHT O'CLOCK FOR THE PARKING. UM THERE WERE OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS, SO WE DID IMPLEMENT MOST OF THEM, AND THE NEXT STEP WAS THE METER PARKING WHICH WAS REQUIRED US TO COORDINATE WITH THE BUSINESSES, AND THAT'S WHEN THE COVID HEAD AND WE JUST COULDN'T MOVE FORWARD WITH LIVE OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS. UM SO. WE CAN REVIEW ALL THOSE IMMEDIATE MIDTERM RECOMMENDATIONS. PARKING WAS ACTUALLY A LONG TERM RECOMMENDATION. SO PARKING GARAGE. YEAH THAT WAS SOMETHING FOR LONG TERM, BUT I MEAN TURNS, THAT'S NEXT YEAR. BUT JUST. I GUESS MY THOUGHT WHEN WE WHEN IT BRIEFLY CAME UP WITH, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO NOT NECESSARILY LIKE STARTING A WHOLE ANOTHER STUDY, OR ANYTHING WAS JUST LOOK BACK AT LIKE WHERE WE'VE BEEN. WHAT DID WE DO? YOU KNOW? WHERE WE CURRENTLY AT. YOU KNOW? YEAH I DOUBT THAT. EVERYTHING FROM 2018 IS EXACTLY AS IT WAS, YOU KNOW? DOUBT EVERYTHING NOW IS EXACTLY AS IT WAS IN 18, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S PROBABLY A WAY TO LOOK AT THAT STUDY AND LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING AND WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY DEALING WITH, AND SEEING. OKAY. THEY WERE RIGHT HERE. THEY WERE WRONG THERE, YOU KNOW. UM, STUDY TO TELL US SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY SITTING ON A FILE. THAT THAT WAS WHERE I WAS. YEAH SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE WILL REVIEW AT THE NEXT JOINT MEETING. UM YOU'LL HAVE THE WHOLE STUDY AND THEN WE'LL GO OVER THE RECOMMENDATIONS. OTHER QUESTIONS FROM FENNEL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR JIM BACK. THE QUESTIONS FOR ATTORNEY JOIN. I'M GONNA I'M GONNA TAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MOVING MOVING. OKAY.
