[00:05:01]

NOW WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT APPLICATION. OR WE CAN DISCUSS. THIS ONE. THE BOARD LIKE TO DO ONE AT A TIME SO THEY CAN ASK THEIR QUESTIONS WHILE IT'S FRESH IN THEIR MINDS, OR DO ALL AT ONCE. I WOULD PREFER TO DO ONE AT A TIME UNLESS SOMEBODY WOULDN'T ONE AT A TIME. OKAY, SO DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WHAT DO YOU WANT? IS THE APPLICANT HERE? YES I DO. SEE THE APPLICANT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? OKAY? ALL RIGHT, FRANK, YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I CAN SAY THIS IS THE PROBLEM. YOU HAVE TO COME UP TO THE MIC. PROPERTY FOR 28 YEARS. WHO ARE YOU? MY NAME IS ALAN. FRIEDRICH. THANK YOU. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY. I'VE OWNED THE PROPERTY FOR 28 YEARS. MY BUILDING ATTRACTS BOTH MEDICAL AND PROFESSIONAL BUSINESSES. WE ARE RIGHT NOW. 95% FULL AND, UM . I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT IMPROVE THE PROPERTY YEAR AFTER YEAR. LAST YEAR AND THE YEAR BEFORE. I IMPROVED THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. AND, UH, AND I JUST CONTINUE TO DO THAT, UM, TO KEEP UP. I'M EXPOSED BOTH THE U. S ONE AND TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT ALSO JOINS THE ROAD AND THE SIDEWALK THAT THE CITY JUST IMPROVED. SO I'M CONSTANTLY TRYING TO KEEP UP AND , UH, MAKE IT BOTH ATTRACTIVE. THE BUSINESSES US ONE TRAVELERS AND ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS. THAT'S YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY ANSWER? RIGHT DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE APPLICANT OR FOR STAFF? FOR STAFF. I'M JUST I'M NEW TO THIS GAME. UH, SO LET'S PROGRAM IS ABOUT. APPLICANTS MEETING CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS, AND THEN THERE'S A POOL OF MONEY SOMEWHERE THAT WE'RE GONNA CHIP IN HALF OF WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO TO IMPROVE THEIR PROPERTIES. SO WHERE IS THIS POOL OF MONEY COMING FROM? THIS IS C R. A FUNDED VERY FUNNY. TOTAL IS $50,000 FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR. WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 50 TO SPEND OKAY , A TOTAL OF 50 AND THEN IT'S AN IT'S A MAXIMUM OF 10,000 PER PER PER PROPERTY, AND THAT'S A 50% MATCH. AND LIKE THIS, SO THE APPLICANT HOW DID HOW DID THE APPLICANTS FIND OUT ABOUT THIS? UM THROUGH THROUGH OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS. SO SOCIAL MEDIA, UM ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTERS, WORD OF MOUTH, UM, EVENTS THAT WE'VE ATTENDED CRITERIAS LIKE MORE SHADE AND JUST OVERALL IMPROVEMENT OF THE BUILDING. ON THE OUTSIDE. WE TRY TO PUSH FOR ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING AND SHADE . BUT THERE'S MULTIPLE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. THERE'S FOUR DIFFERENT CATEGORIES, SO WE REACH FOR LIKE VISUAL IMPACT, URBAN STREET IMPACT AND ECONOMIC IMPACT. AND THEN YOU CAN ALSO GET ADDITIONAL POINTS IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE A HISTORIC BUILDING. OKAY AND THE $50,000 SIERRA MONEY. WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? THAT'S BUDGETED EVERY YEAR, SO USUALLY AROUND JUNE JULY, CRS STAFF COMES BEFORE THE CRV WARD AND CR ABOARD WITH THE BUDGET, AND IT'S PART OF THE BUDGET THAT GETS APPROVED EVERY FISCAL YEAR. OKAY, THANK YOU. YOU HAVE ANYTHING QUESTIONS? WE'VE WE'VE WE HAVE A MATRIX FOR THIS HE SEEMS TO BE IMPROVING HIS PROPERTY EVERY YEAR. SCORE WITH A SCORE OF 60. I HAVE NO OBJECTIONS TO THIS, JACKIE. MICHAEL JUST ONE QUESTION. I SEE PART OF THE URBAN STREET IMPACT UNDER THAT MATRIX. UM THERE'S BIKE RACKS, BENCHES. LIGHTING JUST DIDN'T NOTICE THAT FLAGGED IN THIS PARTICULAR AND I SAW THERE WAS A BENCH AT IT. AND IN THE LAST YEAR CORRECT SO THAT WAS APPLIED TO WHEN HE FIRST FOR FISCAL YEAR, 2022 THAT WOULD THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FLAGGED TO GIVE HIM THE PAY MATRIX SCORING LAST FISCAL YEAR FOR THAT FUNDING, SO THE BENCHES THERE IT'S NOT PART OF THIS APPLICATION. OCEAN I THINK THE ONE THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA DIDN'T GET THIS UPDATED SIDE AND I DON'T HAVE MY GLASSES TODAY. GOING OFF OF THIS ONE. OKAY? CATCHING THE DISCREPANCY. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW MINOR

[00:10:03]

PLANTERS AND ADVENTURE WITH A TOTAL IMPROVEMENT COST OF $58,019. DIXIE HIGHWAY IS A HIGH TRAFFIC ROAD WITH MINIMAL LANDSCAPING ALONG THE STRETCH PARALLEL TO THE RAILROAD TRACK.

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO LANDSCAPING ON THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY. PROPOSAL LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS WILL INCLUDE 3 10 TO 12 FT, COCONUT PALMS, 15 EGGS OR A FLOWERS, SOIL AND MULCH.

MODERN FENCING. ONE CLOSE THE NORTH SIDE OF THE EXPOSED PROPERTY. PROPOSED FENCING WILL INCLUDE A 4 TO 5 FT WOODEN FENCE , WHICH TO ELECTRICAL SOLAR PANEL GATES. THE ENTRANCE GATE WILL BE FOUR BY SIX FT. BLACK METAL SWINGING GAIT AND REAR PARKING ACCESS GATE WILL BE FOUR BY SIX. BLACK METAL SLIDING GATE DEFENSE WILL ENCLOSE THE PARKING LOT, WHICH WOULD BE VISIBLE FROM DIXIE HIGHWAY. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE LOCATIONS OF EACH GAY ARE INDICATED ON THE MAP PROVIDED THE APPLICANT PLANS TO INSTALL FOR LARGE BLACK GALVANIZED STEEL PLANTER BOXES TO USE FOR VISUAL APPEAL. AS WELL AS THE TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN BARRIER. EACH PLANTER BOX WILL HOUSE PINK EXHORTED FLOWERS. THE EXTERIOR GRADE, STILL EVENTUALLY PLACED ON THE FIRST FLOOR WINDOW FACING THE DIXIE HIGHWAY TO ENHANCE CURB APPEAL. THE APPLICANT RECEIVES 70 POINTS BASED ON THE CRITERIA HIGHLIGHTED IN EACH CATEGORY, THE AFRICAN MET AT LEAST ONE OR MORE CRITERIA AND THREE OF THE FOUR CATEGORIES. I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT ALTHOUGH THE BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 1927, THERE'S CURRENTLY NOT LISTED ON OUR LOCAL HISTORIC REGISTER, BUT COULD POTENTIALLY BE ADDED IN THE NEAR FUTURE AS WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING THE HISTORIC PROPERTY SURVEY. THIS PROJECT IS ALSO ADJACENT TO THE SIERRA PROPOSED DIXIE HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, WHICH WILL RUN FROM JOAN JEFFERSON TO COLORADO AVENUE. THREE IS THE APPLICANT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? HI. MY NAME IS SHERRY LEE. I OWN THE LLP THAT OWNS THE BUILDING. I'VE OWNED IT SINCE 2014. I HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE GRANT BEFORE. AS YOU HEARD. AND I DID THE WINDOWS AND I'VE ALSO BEEN DOING A FULL STRUCTURAL REMODEL AND WE'VE PASSED OUR FINAL INSPECTION TODAY, SO THAT PERMIT IS CLOSED, AND NOW I'M READY TO START DOING THE OUTSIDE. I'VE DONE EVERYTHING INSIDE TO SHORE UP THE BUILDING. IT HAD A LOT OF UM SETTLING IF YOU WILL, AND SO EVERYTHING IS BRAND NEW AND SIDE , INCLUDING OUTSIDE. I DID THE STUCCO AND THE WINDOWS. I HAD WINDOWS FROM EVERY DECADE, I THINK ON THE BUILDING SO NOW I'M READY TO DO THE OUTSIDE AND IT'S JUST COMPLETELY A BLANK CANVAS, SO I REALLY WANT TO DOLL IT UP WITH SOME TROPICALS, WHETHER IT'S EGGS OR A OR BOUGAINVILLEA. DEFINITELY LIKE THE COCONUT PALMS. BUT I DON'T HAVE TO DO THOSE IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT COCONUTS, FALLING, UM BUT I WANT SOME REALLY LARGE, MATURE PALMS OUT FRONT AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT MAYBE DOING SOME BRICK PAVERS. THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS, BUT I'D LIKE TO DO SOME BRICK PAVERS OUT FRONT BUT GOING TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT YOU GUYS DO WITH DIXIE HIGHWAY. SO I'M REALLY EXCITED TO START WORKING ON THE OUTSIDE. THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ADDITIONAL. OKAY, WELL, LET'S LOOK PHINEAS FIRST. OKAY SO I THINK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT WHATEVER KIND OF TREES ON YOUR PROPERTY YOU WANT, BUT THAT BEING SAID, I DO THINK THAT WE WOULD BE REMISS AS A BOARD TO NOT BRING UP THE FACT THAT THIS WOULD BE SUCH A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO PUT SHADE TREES INSTEAD OF THOSE PALMS, WHICH ARE BEAUTIFUL, BUT SORT OF POINTLESS AND IF WE WANT TO BE REALLY THINKING ABOUT TURNING THAT INTO A MORE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY PART OF OUR DOWNTOWN, I THINK SHADE TREES WOULD JUST GO SO FAR. HMM. OKAY.

DO YOU HAVE A HAVE A QUESTION, ACTUALLY, JUST MORE BROADLY ABOUT THE PROGRAM. UM I THINK

[00:15:02]

SO YOU KNOW, JUST THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE MORE SHADE COOLING IT OFF, MAYBE HELPING WITH THE BUILDING AS WELL WITH COOLING US OFF. I LIKE THE IDEA, BUT I WILL POINT OUT THAT THE FRONTAGE IS ONLY 40 FT. I KNOW IT PROBABLY LOOKS BIGGER IN THE PICTURES, BUT THERE'S NOT A LOT OF FRONTAGE THERE. AND IT BECOMES CROWDED VERY QUICKLY. UM, THERE IS A PALM ON THE LEFT CORNER WHERE I JUST NEAR THAT NUMBER FIVE WHERE THERE'S A GREEN HEDGE THAT I PLAN TO PUT IN THERE IS A LITTLE CABBAGE PALM THERE. AND IT'S REALLY I DON'T KNOW. I THINK IT MIGHT BE TOUGH TO GET BIG SHADE TREES WHERE THE PALMS ARE. BECAUSE I KNOW SHADE TREES NEED A LOT OF DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM AS FAR AS THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS TELL ME. DIXIE. YES, IT IS. IT IS.

WATER. AND THE AVAILABILITY OF SOIL TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE. THERE'S NO RIGHT. THAT'S. RIGHT THAT'S CORRECT. IT WILL HAVE TO REQUIRE CONCRETE CUTTING AND BRINGING IN IRRIGATION TO WATER . THOSE I LOVE THE IDEA OF SHADE TREES, AND I'LL CERTAINLY TALK TO THE ARCHITECT ABOUT THAT. I JUST THINK THAT WAS ALREADY SORT OF CONSIDERED, AND BECAUSE OF THE NARROW SPACE THAT WE HAVE, WE JUST HAVE A VERY NARROW LOT. IT'S DEEP, BUT IT'S NARROW IN THE FRONT. UM OKAY. CONCERNED, TOO ABOUT OVERHANGING DIXIE TOO MUCH BECAUSE BIG TRUCKS COMING UP AND DOWN THERE AND I HEAR THAT WE'RE NARROWING THE ROAD A BIT, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH SPACE WE REALLY GOING TO HAVE A FIT. I ALWAYS SEEM TO MAKE IT WORK, DON'T THEY? BUT THAT THAT'S CERTAINLY AN OPTION. THE TWO CONCERNS THAT I HAVE ARE THE PLACEMENT OF THOSE TREES RELATIVE TO THE SIDEWALK. UM, I DON'T KNOW. IT SEEMED LIKE ONE OF THOSE IMAGES WAS A SURVEY OF SORTS. BUT THAT PICTURE RIGHT THERE IN THE CENTER SEEMS TO PLACE IT, YOU KNOW, DEAD SQUARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SIDEWALK, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN FAVORITE APPROACH THE DRAWING. SURE.

ONE HERE IN THIS CORNER OF THANK YOU. SO, SO SORRY. UM SO DIXIE IS HERE. SO THIS THESE WOULD FOLLOW THE SIDEWALK. BUT THIS IS THE SIDEWALK, SO IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING LIKE FIVE FT. WIDE, WHATEVER THE SIDEWALK. IS THERE ? OBVIOUSLY THERE'S NOTHING THERE NOW, BUT MY PROPERTY LINE COMES OUT HERE. IT'S KIND OF AN ODD ANGLE WOULD SIT KIND OF ON THE INSIDE CORNER. OF THE PROPERTY LINE AND BEHIND THE SIDEWALK. YES. SO I MEAN, I THINK I'M AS LONG AS THE TREES ARE NOT IN THE SIDEWALK OR AND I DON'T KNOW IF OUR SIDEWALK IS ALL IN THE RIGHT OF WAY THERE.

IF IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S ENTIRELY ON MY PROPERTY. THE PROPERTY LINE GOES OUT INTO DIXIE HIGHWAY INTO THE PAVEMENT CORRECT BY ABOUT A FOOT. MIKE. HMM YOU GOTTA HAVE TO BRING THAT TO MIKE. SO THEY RECORD HIS BEAUTIFUL VOICE AS A MATTER OF NOW WE CAN'T HEAR YOU ADDING A PLAT NORMALLY OVER LEE'S RIGHT OF WAY ON TOP OF THE PROPERTY LINES. SO ALTHOUGH HER PROPERTY LINE MIGHT GO INTO THE RIGHT OF WAY, THE RIGHT OF WAY. STILL BECOMES RIGHT OF WAY. SO WE'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THE SURVEY AND LOOK AT IT. BUT I AGREE WITH MR ROSS COMMENT THAT THE CITY WOULD NOT BE WANTING THE TREES TO BE PLANTED IN THE RIGHT OF WAY BUT WOULD RATHER NEED TO BE PLANTED

[00:20:04]

THAT'S IT, THEN. OKAY, FRANK. IRRIGATION AUTOMATIC OR YOU JUST KIND OF WATER. WELL YOU'VE GOT OTHER WORDS. YOU GOT A BIG SLAB OF CONCRETE THERE, CORRECT. CUT OUT THESE SPOTS FOR THE VOLUNTARY. I'M GOING TO RUN IRRIGATION, AUTOMATIC IRRIGATION UNDERGROUND UNDERGROUND. YES OKAY. I THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY. I WILL HAND WATER WHEN THEY GO IN INITIALLY, RIGHT? SO IN THIS APPLICATION, UH, THE ONLY THING THAT'S REALLY GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU KNOW, EVEN WITHOUT IRRIGATION ON ITS OWN, ONCE YOU'RE ESTABLISHED WOULD BE THE SABLE PALM. AND THE SECOND CHOICE TO BE COCONUT. DON'T GET ANY OTHER PALM. THAT'S GONNA REQUIRE A LOT OF FOOD. ALRIGHT YEAH, SO THERE'S YOUR CHOICES FOR PALMS AND I'D RECOMMEND THE SABLE. BECAUSE IN THIS APPLICATION THEY HAVE THEY DO A GOOD JOB OF FINDING THE WATER THAT THEY NEED ON THEIR OWN.

ALSO AND THE SUBJECT OF SABLES. FOR THE WHOLE STAFF AND THE OLD CITY. I WOULD LOVE TO START EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ON OUR PANTRIES OPERATE. UPON TREE GETS 60% OF ITS NEW ENERGY IS NEW GROWTH FROM THE EXISTING FRANCE. IT SUCKS UP THE CHLOROPHYLL HAS THE FRONDS DIE UP INTO THE HEART? AND WHENEVER YOU GO AROUND AND BUTCHER THEM, LIKE MOST PEOPLE DO EITHER HURRICANE CUT OR MAYBE A LITTLE BETTER THAN THAT. AH YOU'RE MAKING THE TREE GROW SMALLER. YOU HAVE LESS SHADE AND BE LESS HEALTHY. AND. YOU'D BE AMAZED IF YOU IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE REFINED THE STABLE BOMB THAT HASN'T BEEN CUT. ALL RIGHT. WHAT HAPPENS IS MAY BECOME A FAIR AMOUNT OF SHADE FOR ONE TREE. IF YOU DON'T MIND LOOKING AT THE DESKTOP THAT'S HANGING DOWN AND THE DESKTOP THAT HANGS DOWN. BECOMES PART OF THE SHAPE NOW I KNOW AND THE REASON THE WHOLE STATE OF FLORIDA BUTCHERS THEM IS BECAUSE YOUR LANDSCAPE COMPANIES THEY HAVE SOMEWHERE TO KEEP THEIR WORKERS BUSY. ALL WINTER GRASS ISN'T GROWING, AND THEY NEED TO MAKE MONEY. OKAY? SO. SABLES ARE THE ONLY THING THAT'S GOING TO BE AS FAR AS LIKE IF YOU'RE TWO YEARS AFTER YOUR HEARING, AND YOUR IRRIGATION GETS BROKEN. YOU DON'T WANT TO MAINTAIN IT FOR JUST HIS LITTLE STUFF. DISABLED BE THERE FOREVER. RIGHT, SO SABLE IS THE WAY TO GO. WITH THIS APPLICATION FOR SURE. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF WHAT PERCENTAGE OF ALL THE MONEY THAT SHOULD BE GETTING IS ACTUALLY LANDSCAPING VERSUS THE WINDOWS. OH THE WINDOWS WERE ALREADY COMPLETED. ALREADY GOT DOING THOSE GOING TO BE LANDSCAPING AND FENCING AND GATES. AND SO, UM, I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S MOSTLY GATE AND FENCE COST RIGHT NOW, BUT THE BIDS THAT I'VE BEEN GETTING ARE VERY , VERY HIGH. I'M HOPING I'M GOOD. ANYTHING LOOKS BETTER THAN WHAT IT IS. NOW. WE'RE GOOD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANYTHING YOU SEE, I JUST THANK YOU JUST LIKE TO ADD THAT WE ARE WORKING THIS YEAR IS WORKING ON THE DIXIE HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND WE HAVE COORDINATED WITH THE APPLICANT UM, SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO COORDINATE WITH HIM AS WE'RE FINALIZING THE DESIGN AND LANDSCAPING PLAN SO THAT THE LANDSCAPING IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING ALONG DIXIE HIGHWAY, SO THIS IS KIND OF LIKE ONGOING. PROJECT WORKING TOGETHER? YES. BEFORE WE TAKE A MOTION ON THIS. WE DON'T HAVE IN THE C R. A WE DON'T HAVE WHEN WE DO THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS. WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT SAYS

[00:25:02]

STAFF RECOMMENDED THAT EXISTING AWNINGS EXTEND TO THE EDGE OF THE SIDEWALK, PROVIDING FULL COVERAGE, ENHANCING THE APPEARANCE AND WALK ABILITY OF THE STREET. THE AWNINGS WILL MATCH THE PROPOSED EXTERIOR PAINT COLORS WITH GRAY AND WHITE STRIPES. PROPOSAL LANDSCAPING ENHANCED THE SIDEWALK AND PROVIDED APPEAL ON DENVER AVENUE. IN FRONT OF THE EXISTING PARKING LOT WALL HIBISCUS TREE WILL BE SURROUNDED BY BY ROOT PLANTS SUCH AS MALI GRASS, VERMILLION ADDS LANTANA AND CALIFORNIA POPPY. MARCH. LARGE ROCKS AND EDGING WILL BE USED TO DEFINE THE SPACE AND SIMILAR LANDSCAPING WILL BE ADDED TO THE ADJACENT WALL ON THE BUILDING WITHIN THE PARKING LOT, BUT VISIBLE FROM THE STREET SIDE. STAFF WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE APPLICANT HAS REMOVED TWO LARGE TREES FROM THE AREAS AS DESCRIBED SINCE THE APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED. PICTURES SHOWN REFLECT THE TREE REMOVAL. LIGHT FIXTURES TO BE ADDED. UNDER THE IMPROVED AWNINGS UNDER THE FRONT FOYER AND ON THE EXISTING WALL VISIBLE FROM THE PARKING LOT IN DENVER. FIGHTING WILL ALSO BE ADDED TO THE FLOWERBED ON DENVER AVENUE, WHICH WILL CONSIST OF TWO INCH LED FEET FIXTURES AND TWO BLIGHTING UNDER THE RETAINING WALL. SINCE THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED THE APPLICANT ENTITLEMENT, PATRICIAN INSTALLED POWER SOURCES FOR ALL OF THE LANDSCAPE, GROUND LIGHTING, REPLACE AWNING AND FOR YOUR LIFE.

THE APPLICANT MEN AT LEAST ONE OR MORE CRITERIA IN THREE OR FOUR OF THE CATEGORY. THE APPLICANT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? I KNOW YOU COULD TALK. HELLO UNFORTUNATELY, I MISSED OUT ON THE WINDOW, LITTLE BIT MISSED OUT ON THE WINDOWS LAST YEAR. I JUST REPLACED THREE WINDOWS AND

[00:30:02]

THAT'S ALL I GOT. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? JUST A COMMENT. IT'S DONE.

STRANGLER. FIGS ARE ACTUALLY NATIVE. TO THEIR THEIR NATIVE PLANTS, SO THEY'RE NOT INVASIVE, AND THEY'RE THEY'RE GOOD FOR SHADE AS WELL, EVEN IF THEY END UP KILLING THE THING THAT IT'S ON, BUT THEY ARE WHICH WHICH PLAYS THE STRANGLER. FIG. IT'S A FLORIDA NATIVE. HMM JUST A COMMENT, COMMENT. ANYTHING ELSE? CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE OR DENY SECONDED. OKAY THEN WE HAVE A WE HAVE A MOTION BY CHRIS SECONDED BY MICHAEL CAN I GET A ROLL? CALL MEMBER OWENS. YES SIR. VITALY YES. SURE. COMPANY YES. REMEMBER HOTELS? SKI YES. BOARD MEMBER SCHROTH. YES LEWIS ? YES, MEMBER MCCHRYSTAL. YES. OKAY? TREASURE COAST AUTO MACHINE IS LOCATED ON 12 01 SOUTHEAST RAILROAD AVENUE. THE APPLICANT ORIGINALLY REQUESTED FUNDING TO APPROVE HIS PROPERTY PARKING LOT, EXTERIOR PAINT, LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING. THE TOTAL ESTIMATED IMPROVEMENT COSTS WOULD HAVE BEEN $11,872. HOWEVER AFTER FURTHER REVIEW STAFF DID NOT FEEL THAT THE IMPROVEMENT SUBMITTED MET THE GOALS OF THE PROGRAM TO ENHANCE THE VISIBLE APPEARANCE OF THE PROPERTY FROM THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. STAFF WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT AND MADE EXTENSIVE CHANGES AND RECOMMENDATION. ORIGINALLY THE APPLICANT REQUESTED THAT LANDSCAPING THE PLACED AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THEIR LOT LINE. WE HAVE SINCE MODIFIED THIS TO ONLY BE VISIBLE FROM THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. THE AFRICAN PLANS TO ADD SHRUBS AND CAPE TREES TO ENHANCE THE STREET VIEW AND CREATE VEGETATION BOUNDARY BEHIND THIS FENCE LINE. LANDSCAPING WILL INCLUDE TERRAIN PREP SOIL, MARCH RUBBLE ANY PALM TREES, JAPANESE BOXWOOD SHRUBS AND SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA TREE. THE APPLICANT RECEIVED STAFF SUPPORT AND PAINTING THE BUILDING DOWNTOWN GREG THE APPLICANT PLANS ON KEEPING THE EXISTING CHECKER DECALS AND SIGNAGE ON THE BUILDING STAFF MADE AN ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATION FOR THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING TO INCLUDE AN ADDITIONAL AWNING OVER THE FRONT DOOR AND CONNECTING WINDOWS. REPLACING THE SECOND FLOOR EXTERIOR AWNINGS TO MATCH THE NEW DOOR AWNING. PAINTING THE EXTERIOR RAMP RAILING. ANDREW MOVING THE DAMAGE POLE SIGN THAT IS NO LONGER CO COMPLIANT OR SERVING A PURPOSE. THIS SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT CHANGES AND THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION SUBMISSION . THE APPLICANT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE STAFF WITH AN UPDATED COST ESTIMATE OR SITE PLAN. STAFF IS DOING THE APPLICATION INCOMPLETE AND IS SEEKING FOR DIRECTION. AND I DO NOT SEE THE APPLICANT HERE TONIGHT. SO WHAT YOU'RE REALLY SAYING IS IF THEY WANT TO COME BACK AT SOME FUTURE DATE, THEY MAY BUT THEY NEED TO CONFORM TO THE PROGRAM SINCE THEY HAVE NOT CONFORMED TO THE PROGRAM. THERE'S THIS BOARD WANT TO SAY THEY HAVE OR GIVE STAFF ANY SO ATIONS CHAIR. JUST SO YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I DID RECEIVE VERBAL AND WRITTEN UM, AGREEMENT TO THE FOUR ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE RECOMMENDED, ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY

[00:35:07]

WE COULD TAKE A VOTE. SO UNLESS SOMEONE WANTS TO YOU KNOW, GO AGAINST STAFF AND I'M NOT READY TO DO ANYTHING. SO YES, ETHNIC QUESTION IS THIS. THEY MISSED IT FOR THIS YEAR OR IS IT LIKE THEY COME BACK IN JUNE? THEY CAN PUT IT BACK ON THE AGENDA OR IS THERE A DEADLINE? CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT, UM, NOW THAT WE HAVE FUNDING LEFT OVER IT WOULD BE UP TO THE BOARD'S DISCRETION TO DECIDE WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO ABOUT THAT, SO WE CAN EITHER OPEN THE APPLICATION CYCLE REOPEN IT FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR TO TRY TO FIND ADDITIONAL APPLICANTS. TERESA MITT. FOR THE 30,000 THAT WE WOULD STILL HAVE LEFT. UM OR WE CAN CHOOSE TO YEAH. THE BACK OF THE BUDGET NEXT YEAR. WHEN IS IT WHEN IS OUR FISCAL YEAR OVER FOR EVERYBODY? SEPTEMBER 30TH. SO WE HAVE. THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF MARCH. WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO BRING IN OTHER AFRICANS. IF YOU HAVE THEM. DON'T YOU AGREE? BOARD? I AGREE. I THINK IF THERE'S OTHER APPLICANTS THAT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY THAT SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY. THIS ONE BEING COMPLETE. I MEAN, THERE'S NO MAGIC. MAGIC MONTH THAT WE NEED TO CLOSE THIS BY EXCEPT SEPTEMBER. 30TH CORRECT JUST A QUICK QUESTION. DOES IT CREATE AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN FOR STAFF TO KEEP THIS OPEN? I MEAN THAT THERE'S COSTS. THEY'RE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S YOU'RE NOT LIKE OVERWHELMED WITH THIS PROCESS, AND IT CREATES AN ADDITIONAL UN PERFECT LIKE I'M NOT NECESSARILY. OKAY, SO I THINK YOU HAVE STATEMENTS. OKAY SO I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE MORE TIME. I VOTE FOR THESE PROJECTS , BUT FOR MANY YEARS I VOTED AGAINST THESE PROJECTS. BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK THAT THE CITY SHOULD BE GIVING AWAY TAX DOLLARS IN ANY FORM. TO PRIVATE BUSINESS. I STILL BELIEVE THAT THE COMMISSION BELIEVES OTHERWISE SO I WILL GO BY WHATEVER THE COMMISSION AGREES.

AND AS LONG AS IT CONFORMS. I JUST NEED TO SAY THAT FOR YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS? YES, FOR MY CONSCIOUS CHAIR CHAIR. JUST A QUICK QUESTION. I'M NOT SURE MAYBE THIS IS A QUESTION FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY THERE. IS THERE A MOTION THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE THIS APPLICANT FUNDING. WELL, I DON'T THINK. THE CASE IF YOU MADE A MOTION TO NOT GIVE THEM FUNDING YEAH. I DON'T THINK WE'RE READY. JUST INTERESTING, COMPLETE, INCOMPLETE APPLICATION . THEY CAN REAPPLY AT ANY TIME. THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE WOULD WE NEED THE MOTION TO KEEP THE APPLICATION WINDOW OPEN. YOU NEED THAT MOTION. OKAY, SO CAN I GET A MOTION TO KEEP THE APPLICATION WITH NO OPEN TO WHEN? WHEN? WHEN IS A GOOD DAY FOR YOU GUYS? THAT WILL BE.

RIGHT, RIGHT, BUT COMPLETELY HAD THEM. WHATEVER THE MONEY IS LEFT OVER. SO WHAT'S A GOOD DATE THAT IT SHOULD BE? SHOULD WE SHOULD LEAVE THE WINDOW OPEN TO WE'VE DONE TWO MONTHS BEFORE SO WE COULD START THAT APPLICATION CYCLE AGAIN. APRIL 1ST PEOPLE WILL TAKE THIS CR ABOARD. GET RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THEM. WE CAN OPEN THE CYCLE AND EVIL FIRST AND KEEP IT OPEN FOR TWO OR THREE MONTHS. SO WE'LL SAY, JUNE 30TH, AND IT GIVES EVERYBODY PLENTY OF TIME. OKAY, CAN I GET A MOTION TO THAT EFFECT? STILL MOVED. SO YOU'RE MOVING TO HAVE ANOTHER APPLICATION PROCESS FROM APRIL 1ST. YOU CONTINUE TO QUALIFY, RIGHT? NO, NO, NO, IT'S ONE CYCLE, RIGHT? THANK YOU. MIKE YAHOO! CAN I GET UP?

THE JUNE 30TH AT MICHAEL'S SECOND. BY SETH CAN THIS BE AN ALL IN FAVOR? ALL IN FAVOR OPPOSED OPPOSED. 61 WITH MR MCCHRYSTAL VOTING NO. SO. WE NOW HAVE THE C R. A BUDGET AMENDMENT 02 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023. OH YOU WANT TO

[4. CRA BUDGET AMENDMENT #02 TO FY 2023]

[00:40:04]

SO STAFF IS LOOKING FOR RECOMMENDATION. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? ALRIGHT. QUESTION. YES. I GUESS I THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A POLICE DEPARTMENT IS THE C R A RESPONSIBLE FOR PARKING ENFORCEMENT. RIGHT SO WE, UH, THIS IS IN THE C R A AND IT'S CONCERNING THE PARKING. WE HAVE A LOT OF PARKING CONCERNS. SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT THE PARKING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WOULD HANDLE, BUT IT WOULD BE PART OF THE SIERRA BUDGET. DO YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING, CHIEF? BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN HANGING AROUND. SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL SAY SOMETHING.

YES, MR. CHAIR JOSEPH TO MANALI, CHIEF OF POLICE CITY OF STEWART. SO IT DOES FALL UNDER THE PURVIEW. I'M IN CHARGE OF THE PARKING ENFORCEMENT. UM ER, A HAD SOME PREVIOUS FUNDING OVER THE YEARS FOR A PART TIME OFF PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, WHICH I HAVE OBSERVED THIS NEW SYSTEM WOULD ACTUALLY UM, ENHANCE OUR ABILITY TO MAKE THESE ENFORCEMENTS STILL WITH A FULL TIME PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. AND ALSO A PART TIME PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.

THIS WOULD TAKE THE HUMANISTIC PHYSICAL WORK. OF WALKING AROUND AND MARKING VEHICLES, YOU KNOW, TAKING PICTURES OF PLACE. THIS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY DO IT. IT WOULD CERTAINLY INCREASE THE ENFORCEMENT. UM, AT LEAST TENFOLD. AND IT'S A VERY QUITE SIMPLE IT'S QUITE A QUITE QUITE PRICEY BUT VERY, VERY VALUABLE ASSET. UM. AND YES TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION DOES FALL INTO THE PURVIEW OF UNDER MY PURVIEW AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, BUT IT IS A CRE ASK AND THIS WOULD BE SUPPORTED BY THE PARKING STUDY THAT WE DID IN 2018. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THAT WAS RECOMMENDED. UM I AGREE THAT THERE'S PARKING ISSUES WITH DOWNTOWN AND TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, UM, JUST FOR MY EDUCATION. UM AS FAR AS IT IS WOULD YOU SAY THAT PART OF THE PROBLEM IS PEOPLE PARKING TOO LONG DOWNTOWN LIKE MORE THAN THREE HOURS. IS THAT A BIG TICKET ITEM. AND YES, THAT'S YOU KNOW, THE THREE HOUR, THREE HOUR DISTRICT, UM I MEAN, THE EVOLUTION OF PARKING. YOU KNOW, I STARTED HERE 26 YEARS AGO WAS A ONE PERSON WALKING AROUND WITH A PIECE OF CHALK AND MARKING THE CARS MOVED INTO THE ELECTRONIC AGE TO WHERE WE'RE TAKING THE PICTURES AND YOU STILL WALKING AROUND AND MARKING THESE VEHICLES, BUT WITH THIS SYSTEM IT WOULD ENFORCE AND ENHANCE THE THREE HOUR PARKING VIOLATIONS SO WE CAN GET MORE MOVEMENT WITH OPEN SPOTS WITHIN DOWNTOWN WITHIN THE THREE HOUR PARKING DISTRICT DISTRICT WITHIN THE C R . A QUESTION TO YOU IS, IS THE TURNOVER A PROBLEM IS IT IS IT PEOPLE ARE PARKING TOO LONG DOWNTOWN, FOR EXAMPLE, I GO DOWNTOWN. I'M THERE FOR LUNCH OR WHATNOT. AND I'M NOT THERE FOR

[00:45:05]

IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE PICKLE BALL COURTS AND TENNIS COURTS. HE'S LIKE, YEAH, THERE'S THIS GREAT NEED FOR MORE PICKLEBALL COURTS FROM OUR TENNIS COURTS AND MORE PARKING, BUT ONLY A CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY CERTAIN DAYS. UM GENTLEMAN SITTING NEXT TO ME REMINDED ME WHAT I WAS THINKING OF ALSO. SO YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE THAT WORKED DOWNTOWN. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A HARDSHIP ON THEM. JUST FOR TRYING TO PARK SOMEWHERE, AND YOU SAY THERE'S OTHER PLACES FURTHER AWAY? WELL THAT'S FINE, EXCEPT IT'S 95 DEGREES WITH 100% HUMIDITY AND I'M IN A THREE PIECE SUIT, SO IT'S A LITTLE UNFAIR. I'M GLAD THE CHIEF IS HERE. I HAVE A QUESTION SO ANOTHER ONE THOUGHTS WAS THAT $40,000 WOULD GO A LONG WAYS TOWARDS GETTING ANOTHER POLICE OFFICER TO SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. MAYBE HALFWAY THERE. UM WELL, YOU BROUGHT THAT UP SO IS THIS SYSTEM GOING TO CUT DOWN ON YOUR MANPOWER? AS FAR AS THE FULL TIME IN THE HALF HALFTIME GUY THAT'S ALREADY WALKING AROUND. IS THAT GONNA CUT DOWN SOME MANPOWER AND FREE UP SOME HAVE SOME POLICE OFFICERS SPACE SOMEWHERE ELSE OR NO, SO THE PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ARE NOT POLICE OFFICERS . OKAY OKAY, STAFF GOT YOU. THERE ARE LIKE THEIR SALARIES ARE NOT FUNDED BY THE SIERRA.

THEY'RE FUNDED BY MY BUDGET, THE POLICE GENERAL BUDGET TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. YES IT WILL REDUCE THEIR TIME BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO ALL OF THAT EXTRA WALKING AND SUCH SO THE RIGHT BUT IT'S NOT GONNA HELP PUT ANOTHER POLICE OFFICER OUT THERE FOR US. I GOT YOU OKAY? SURE. YEAH IT'S A IT'S A CIVILIAN AND OLD. IT'S AN OLD FART LIKE ME WALKING AROUND BASICALLY MAKING WHAT 15 AN HOUR MAYBE. AROUND THERE. OKAY 17 18. ALL RIGHT, WELL, I KNOW WHERE I STAND ON THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. LET ME EXPLAIN FOR THE NEWER MEMBERS TO SEE OUR A IS A FUNDING SOURCE. AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE POLICE BUDGET OR THE FIRE BUDGET OR PUBLIC WORKS? IS THAT THEY FUND THEMSELVES OUT OF THE GENERAL OF THE LORE, UM ADVIL, OR, UM, RATHER UH, EXCEPT IF WE TELL THEM TO DO SOMETHING THAT WE BRING UP AND SAY, BECAUSE OF THIS, IT'S IN THE C R A. WE CAN FUND IT OUT OF TIP. OKAY SO WE DON'T FUND POLICE OFFICERS. SO EVEN IF WE DIDN'T FUND THIS THAT MONEY COULD NOT GO FOR A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT BE FOR JUST DOWNTOWN CITY. GO TO THE MIC. CAN MIKE MIKE MIKE. MIKE MIKE. IT. OFFICER IF HE JUST STOOD IN THE C R A BUT THEY DON'T SO OKAY. IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR? YEAH I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE, UH, SO THE COST IS CITED AS 40 ANNUAL RECURRING 10 AND THEN BUT ALSO

[00:50:02]

AM I GOING TO TELL YOU THAT THERE WON'T BE PEOPLE COMPLAINING WHEN THEY GET A PARKING TICKET, AND I'M SURE THEY WILL BE THE ONLY ONE THAT SPECIFIC THAT I HAVE IN MY MIND.

[00:55:06]

SOMEBODY WENT ZIPPED AROUND HIM, AND THEY BOTH GOT OUT OF THE CAR. AND SO I HAD TO GO TO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, LIKE GET BACK IN THAT CAR. SO IT ISN'T THERE AND THERE IS NO EASY SOLUTION. A COUPLE OF THEM ARE WE WERE LOOKING AT PROPERTIES POTENTIALLY BECAUSE AS THE PROCESS CONTINUES, THE END RESULT MAY BE A PARKING GARAGE. AND THE NEXT QUESTION IS WHERE YOU KNOW WE CAN MAKE IT FIVE MILES DOWN THE ROAD, AND IT'S EXISTS WHEN CHECKED THE BOX, SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT TO SEE WHERE WE'RE GOING ON. THIS WAS ONE WAS THE FIRST STEP WAS ENFORCEMENT WE CURRENTLY AND THEN WE'LL GET SOME DATA ON THAT AND SEE WHERE IT GOES, AND THAT WILL HELP US MOVE INTO THE NEXT STEP. THANK YOU. IS ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY FROM THE BOARD? GO AHEAD, HELEN. FILLING UP THE FORM FOLLOWING. JUST GIVE IT TO ME. YEAH YOU GET IT FOR ME. OH YEAH, MY EXACTLY. ATTIC MISSILE. WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO GO AROUND. THANK YOU, CHIEF, HELEN MCBRIDE. I'M A RESIDENT OF THE SISTER CITY OF THE STORY. I'M GOING ON MY 50TH YEAR, SO I'VE SEEN A LOT IN DOWNTOWN. AND, UM I WAS HERE WHEN ALWAYS THROUGHOUT THE COMMISSIONER MAINTENANCE WHEN THE COMMISSIONERS ASKED FOR THIS COMMITTEE AND, UH YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? $40,000 BUT IF IT DOES HELP, I'M LIKE, YEAH, GENTLEMEN, BEFORE ME, I'VE SEEN THE FIGHTS BACK IN. THE OTHER GUY GOES IN AND THAT BUT IT IS, IT'S A YOU KNOW, IT'S AN INVESTMENT. WE WENT FOR 50 YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE 50 YEARS. I KNOW SOME OF YOU WERE BORN HERE, UH, IT'S AN INVESTMENT IN OUR FUTURE THAT WE'VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE I MOVED HERE AND I'D LIKE TO SEE HER SCHOOL FATHER AND KEEP OUR DOWNTOWN AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT IS. SO I HOPE YOU ALL FOR IT. EXCEPT ARMANDO. HE HAS NO PROBLEM. I THINK HE SCARES PEOPLE. THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY ON THIS MATTER? GLAD, CHIEF JUST FOR THE OCCASSION AND COLLECT MARIA IF I'M WRONG, MISTER. CITY ATTORNEY. I BELIEVE THE ENFORCEMENT ENDS AT EIGHT P.M. SO TOO MR FLANAGAN'S POINT. YOU KNOW THE SEVEN OR EIGHT PM TO MR FLANAGAN'S POINT. YOU KNOW THE DINNER AND THE AND THE LYRIC THEATER. IF YOU GET THERE AT SIX O'CLOCK, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A THREE HOUR ISSUE. UM, JUST ADDITIONALLY. YOU KNOW YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT MANPOWER AND STUFF LIKE THAT. IT'S GEO FENCE WITHIN THE THREE HOUR DISTRICT. SO TAKE PICTURES OF ALL THE CARS AND THE OFFICER. ALL HE HAS TO DO IS RIGHT BACK THROUGH AFTER THREE HOURS. PUSH THE BUTTON ISSUES. THE CITATION. THAT'S WHAT I SAID TENFOLD. AND YOU HAVE THIS RECURRING COSTS, SO WE DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW BIG OF AN IMPACT IS GOING TO BE A PRETTY BIG IMPACT. AND WHAT MR SCHROTH SAID ABOUT YOU KNOW, GETTING A CHANGE IN CULTURE CHANGE IN THE PARKING DOWNTOWN, SO AND I WOULD JUST HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT, UM, THE SYSTEM. I GUESS IT'S PROBABLY PREVIOUSLY BEEN USED IN OTHER CITIES. IT IS BEING USED IN OTHER CITIES, THE ACCURACY OF IT AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO REGULATE VERY ACCURATE. VERY ACCURATE. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? FRANK THE SYSTEM ENDS AT SEVEN OR EIGHT O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. IT'S EIGHT PM THE THREE HOUR PARKING CORRECT, RIGHT. SO. SO AGAIN, THE ONLY PEOPLE BEING PENALIZED OR THE DOWNTOWN, FULL TIME WORKERS LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPOT. AND THE AND THE PEOPLE VISITING DOWNTOWN SHOPPING AS WELL. RIGHT QUICK TURNOVER HAS MR UNDERSTAND? OKAY THANK YOU. AND WE'RE REALLY ENCOURAGING. UM EMPLOYEES DOWNTOWN EMPLOYEES TO USE OUR WELLS FARGO PARKING LOT, WHICH IS STAYS VACANT, FOR MOST PART SO. GO AHEAD, OK, HISTORY. THE PARKING USED TO END AT FIVE, WHICH REALLY MEANT IT ENDED AT 2 15, BECAUSE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WORKED IN ALL THE RESTAURANTS NEW THAT THEY COULD PARK AT 2 30 BY THE TIME THE 3 30, THE THREE HOUR PARKING EXPIRED. THE PARKING ATTENDANT WOULD HAVE ENDED FOR THE DAY. WE MET WITH THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION AS WELL AS STEWART MAIN STREET, AND IT GOT MOVED TO SIX, WHICH REALLY MEANT THAT IT MOVED TO 3 15. AND THEN IT GOT

[01:00:03]

AND THEN, OF COURSE, AFTER ROUGHLY 5 30, WHICH IS NOW 8 30, YOU KNOW WHEN IT WOULD EXPIRE.

THE DEMAND HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY, SO WE FOUND THERE'S NO NEED TO GO LATER THAN THAT. DUKE. ANYTHING ELSE? JACKIE COMMOTION EAGLE BABY COMMOTION MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE FUNDS FOR THIS NEW PARKING SYSTEM. SECOND OKAY? WE HAVE WE HAVE A MOTION BY JACKIE SECOND BY NICK TO ACCEPT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. WE'RE BUYING THIS SYSTEM. BEFORE WE TAKE A VOTE. I JUST WANT TO SAY I DON'T BELIEVE IN PARKING PERIOD. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD HAVE IT IN THE CITY CODE. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT PRIVATE INDUSTRY SHOULD TAKE CARE OF, AND NOT PUBLIC, AND THAT'S REALLY WHY I DO NOT SUPPORT IT. TOM'S FROM NEW YORK. NO NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT . BUT THERE BUT BUT AGAIN, LET ME FINISH MY STATEMENT AGAIN.

I'M JUST GOING TO SAY I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM PARKING DOWNTOWN. I THINK IT'S YOU KNOW, LIKE PEOPLE WANT TO PULL INTO A SPACE RIGHT BY WHEREVER THEY'RE GETTING OUT. AND THAT'S WHAT THEY EXPECT. AND THIS IS NOT A MALL. THIS IS A CITY SO YOU HAVE TO PARK THREE BLOCKS AWAY. SO BE IT. BUT I AM I AM NOT A BIG FAN OF TELLING PEOPLE THAT THEY HAVE TO MOVE AFTER THREE HOURS. I AM UP IF THE MARKET WOULD DEMAND THE PARKING GARAGE THAN PRIVATE SECTOR SHOULD BUILD THAT GARAGE, NOT THE CITY. IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENT? SEE NONE. COULD YOU CALL THE VOTE, PLEASE? REMEMBER HATALSKY? YES TALLY. PENNY NO MEMBER SCHROTH. YES, REMEMBER MCCHRYSTAL? NO MEMBER OWENS.

YES, LEWIS. PASSES FIVE TO CAMPENNI AND CRYSTAL. 40 NO. CHIEF, YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK. MHM.
