PRESENTATION ON THE DOWNTOWN TRAM SERVICE]
ITEMS PRESENTATION OF DOWNTOWN TRAMP SERVICE. BUT ALL ARE YOU HANDLING THAT? THIS POLICY.CHESTER WILL GIVE THE PRESENTATION HI. I'M PAULA SYSTEM, THE PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM SPECIALIST. I'M IN CHARGE OF THE TRAM SERVICES. SO I HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR YOU TODAY THAT I JUST LIKE TO GO THROUGH. SO THE TRAMS. THE TRANSFER BASICALLY STARTED IN 2006 FROM TIFF PHONE FUNDS, AS OCCURRED, A TEACHER AND FOR DOWNTOWN TO HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE PARKING SOLUTIONS OVER THE YEARS, IT'S GROWN. WE RECEIVED GRANTS TO GET ELECTRIC TRAMS TO GO GREEN, AND NOW WE HAVE 77 TRAMS WITH SEVEN DRIVERS THAT RUN CONTINUOUSLY SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE RIDERSHIP AND 2019 INTO 20. BEFORE COVID. WE READ ALMOST 50,000 RIDERS DUE TO COVID. THE RIDERSHIP WENT WAY DOWN 2021. IT STARTED TO PICK BACK UP. WE WERE AT 56,000 RIDERS AND THEN IN 2022, WE MOVED UP TO 35,000 AS OF THE END OF APRIL THIS YEAR. WE'RE ALREADY OVER 20,000 RIDERS, SO WE PLAN TO HIT CLOSER TO THAT NUMBER THAT WE WERE. PRE COVID.
SO THE TERMS HAVE A SET SCHEDULE. ON THE TOP ON THE TOP IS THE SET SCHEDULE ON THE BOTTOM IS THE ON CALL STOPS. PEOPLE CAN CALL AT CERTAIN AREAS AND WILL POP OFF THE ROUTE. GO PICK THEM UP. THE TRAM LIKE I SAID, DOES RUN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. FOR BOTH. THIS IS JUST A MAP OF THE AREAS THAT WE DO SERVICE WE HAVE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE WELLS FARGO. NOW THAT WAS PART OF ONE OF THE GRANTS WE RECEIVED WAS TO ADD SOME MORE STOPS, AND ONE OF THEM THAT WE DID ADD WAS WELLS FARGO. AND AS OF APRIL. WE STARTED IN JANUARY AS OF APRIL, WE TRANSPORTED OVER 1500 MORE PEOPLE INTO THE DOWNTOWN AREA BY OPENING UP THE WELLS FARGO ROUTE. CURRENTLY WE HAVE THREE GRANTS. ONE GRANT WE RECEIVED BACK IN 2020 DIDN'T GET TO USE IT BECAUSE OF COVID DIDN'T START TO USE IT UNTIL ALMOST 2021. SO THE STATE EXTENDED IT WAS SUPPOSED TO END IN MAY OF 23. THE STATE EXTENDED IT ONE MORE YEAR BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET TO USE IT THE FIRST YEAR AND THAT TRAMP THAT GRANT IS TOO PROVIDE MARKETING FOR THE TRAM AND ALSO TO PROVIDE, UM TOURS THAT WE DO PRETTY MUCH ANYBODY, WHETHER IT'S A RESIDENT OR TOURISTS COMING IN TO TALK ABOUT THE CITY. IT'S ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF LONG TOUR THAT TELLS THEM ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CITY AND WE HAVE A LOT OF WRITERS THAT WRITE THEM. FOR THE TOURS. ESPECIALLY DURING THE SEASON. WE HAVE TWO OTHER GRANTS . ONE OF THEM WAS THE PURCHASE A GREAT TRAMP. THAT WE NEEDED ON TOP HOLD 15 EDITION 15 PEOPLE INSTEAD OF EIGHT THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY AND THE OTHER GRANT WAS TO EXTEND THE ROUTE. AND CONTINUE TO PROMOTE THE TREND AND MAYBE ADD ON A FEW MORE ROUTES. IF WE CAN FIND OTHER AREAS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT CAN I ASK YOU THE TRIM? UM, THAT YOU GOT MONEY FOR HOW MUCH DID IT COST? THE TRAMP TRAMP TRAMP WAS 30,000. WE RECEIVED A 50 50 GRANT. SO IT WAS 15. IN 2021 WE DID ABOUT 116 TOURS AND 41 OTHER EVENTS THAT INCLUDES DOWNTOWN EVENTS, THINGS FOR THE LOCAL SCHOOLS, CHURCHES AND THEN IN 2022 WE DID ABOUT 137 OF THOSE AND 68 OTHER EVENTS. WE DO THE CITY EVENTS. WE DO STUFF FOR THE DAYCARE FOR THE AH! CHURCHES AND
[00:05:08]
JD PARKER AND THE LOCAL SCHOOLS WHEN THEY HAVE EVENTS ALSO AND THAT IS ALL COVERED THROUGH THE GRANT. SO WE CANNOT CHARGE FOR THOSE JUST LIKE WE CANNOT CHARGE WITH HIS STORE TOWARDS WHILE WE HAVE THE GRANT. ARE THOSE THE KIDS? THOSE ARE THE CHILDREN FROM 10TH STREET AND THE FIRST BAPTIST AND, YES, GERTRUDE WALDRON 10TH STREET. UM AND FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH AND JD PARKER. THANK YOU. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THIS IS ONE OF THE PARADES THAT WE DID. THE ONE IN THE TOP CORNER IS THE KIDS IN FRONT OF THE MOLLY'S HOUSE SIGN. THAT WAS CHRISTMAS CAROLING. WE ALSO PROVIDE THAT AND THEN THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD DOWN IN THE BOTTOM CORNER. SO THE EXPENSES AS IN 20, 2100 AND 8000, THEN IN 2022, THERE WERE 103 A LITTLE BIT LESS BECAUSE WE CHANGED SHIFTS AROUND. WE'RE PROJECTING THAT THE EXPENSES FOR 2023 WILL BE ABOUT 140. THAT'S BECAUSE WE ADDED THE WALLS FARGO AND ADDED MORE ACTIVITIES THAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE TREND. MR MAYOR IS THAT EXPENSES FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS SALARIES? YES, IT INCLUDES EVERYTHING AWESOME. OKAY? CONTINUE, PLEASE. SO IN 2021. WE INSTALLED AN ADVERTISEMENT PANEL. WE HAD THREE ADVERTISEMENTS UP THAT YOU CAN SEE. UM NONE OF THEM RENEWED AND THEN IN EXCUSE ME, ONE OF THEM RENEWED. GYPSY COTTAGE RENEWED AND THEN IN 2022 TO 23. WE NOW HAVE TWO ADS IN THERE. WE ARE LOOKING TO GO OUT AND TRY TO PROMOTE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE. BECAUSE WE DECREASED THE AMOUNT THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST MONTHLY BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS GOING UP. SO MAYBE WE'LL GET MORE PEOPLE TO USE IT IF WE BRING THE PRICE DOWN A LITTLE TEMPORARILY. OH, YES, MR MAYOR.WHAT IS THE DIMENSION OF THAT PANEL? I DON'T HAVE THE DIMENSIONS WITH MORE THAN EIGHT INCHES TALL. NO, THEY'RE ACTUALLY ABOUT A FOOT TALL. OH JUST OVER 3 FT WIDE. I'M NOT EXACT, BUT I CAN EMAIL THE MEASUREMENTS TO YOU. I REALLY BELIEVE THE COLORS WILL THE SCIENTIST THE TOP THE COLORS WILL REALLY MAKE THE POT. THAT'S WHAT I HOPE. YEAH. PINKS NALDO AND THESE ARE JUST SOME COMPLIMENT LETTERS THAT WE RECEIVED OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO SUMMER FROM RESIDENTS. SOME ARE FROM PEOPLE JUST VISITING. SOME ARE FROM PEOPLE THAT JUST MOVED AND SAID I HAPPENED TO STUMBLE UPON THE TOUR AND I LOVED IT BECAUSE I LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT THE CITY. I DIDN'T KNOW AND NOW I FREQUENT ALL THE RESTAURANTS DOWNTOWN, SO IT'S NICE TO SEE THAT SO THAT'S IT. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I WAS GONNA MR MAYOR. TO ASK, UM. IS THE WORLD'S FARGO SPOT, THE HIGHEST FIXED ROAD USE SPOT IN TERMS OF PICK UPS AND DROP OFFS , THE HIGHEST SPOT USED DONNA'S CITY HALL REALLY IS THE HIGHER WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE THAT TAKE THE TREND FROM CITY HALL AND GO TO THE OUTSKIRTS OF EVERYTHING. WELLS FARGO WAS NICE TO ADD FOR THE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND. SO THEN PEOPLE CAN GET A RIDE INTO DOWNTOWN. WHEN THERE IS NO PARKING DOWNTOWN. KIWANIS IS NOT HIGHER THAN CITY HALL. YOUR CITY IS IT DEPENDS ON THE TIME OF THE DAY. IF THERE'S NO SCHOOL AS A POINT OF REFERENCE AS WELL, IF YOU THINK ABOUT LIKE, IF SOMEONE PARKS AT QUANTAS AND COMES INTO TOWN, THEY STILL TAKE CITY HALL TO GET BACK TO QUANTAS IF THEY PARK AT WELLS FARGO AND COME INTO TOWN, THEY STILL TAKE CITY HALL TO GO BACK TO WELLS FARGO. SO IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE THEY COME FROM. ON THE OUTSKIRTS. CITY HALL ALWAYS ENDS UP BEING THE OTHER HALF OF THAT RIDE TO GO BACK, AND THAT'S WHY CITY HALL ENDS UP BEING THE CENTER GOING BACK OUT AND HAVING THE MOST RIDES BECAUSE EVERY RIGHTS RETURN ORIGINATES HERE. AND I WOULD THINK THAT, UH, ON THE WEEKEND WHEN YOU HAVE ROCK AND RIVER WALK AND THE MARKET ON MAIN OF THOSE EVENTS ARE DRAWING A LOT OF PEOPLE TO THE CITY HALL AREA, MR. MR CHAIR. THE CRB IS DISCUSSING WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT THE TREME GO IN THE FUTURE, SO THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ONGOING DISCUSSION FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MEETINGS. SO WE'D LIKE TO AT SOME POINT, PROBABLY IN ORCHESTRA SEPTEMBER. GIVE A REPORT TO THE C R A.
REGARDING WHAT OUR IDEAS ARE FOR WHAT THE TRAM SHOULD BE, SO WE'LL BE DISCUSSING THAT ON AND ONGOING BASIS FOR THE NEXT TWO MEETINGS. THANK YOU ABOUT THE FLEET WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO JUST GONNA MOVE FOR APPROVAL. BUT MORE ON THAT. YES, IT'S PRESENTATION MAY ASK ONE QUESTION. SORRY ABOUT THE FLEET . SO WE SAID, WE HAVE SEVEN VEHICLES AND WE JUST GOT A COUPLE IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. WE'VE HAD NEW VEHICLES. WHAT IS A FLEET REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE AND
[00:10:05]
WE'RE STILL HOPING FOR THE L T MONEY'S TO STILL WORK WITH US, OR ARE WE HAVING OTHER AVENUES IN THE FUTURE FOR FUNDS TO REPLACE VEHICLES. WE WERE PUTTING THAT ON HOLD THEIR STAYING RIGHT WHERE WE ARE FOR NOW. COMING UP NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. MR RICH. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE TRAM STOPS ARE COVERED? UM. NOT SAYING I ALREADY THINK WE ONLY HAVE THREE STOPS THAT ACTUALLY HAVE SHELTER 33 OUT OF HOW MANY ADAM. 14 12 OR 13 14 STOPS.YEAH, I KNOW TO YOU, MIKE. I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER ABOUT THAT. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 13 OR 14 STOPS AND I THINK THREE ARE COVERED HAVE SHELTERS. PEOPLE ARE RELUCTANT, ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF YEAR. TO RELY ON THE TRAM. WHEN THIS STOPS AREN'T COVERED BECAUSE OF THE RAIN. I THINK IF WE COULD DO A BETTER JOB OF GETTING A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF SHELTERS THAT ARE STOPS, IT WOULD PROBABLY HELP THE USAGE. YEAH I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. YEAH FIVE YEAR PLAN AND PLUS THE HEAT THE SHAPE EXACTLY. SO NOT MAYBE WE CAN PLANT A TREE TOO. AS PART OF OUR FIVE YEAR PLAN. THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE WERE LOOKING AT. IT WAS TO GET MORE FUNDING TO POSSIBLY ADD A COUPLE MORE SHELTERS ALONG WITH THAT THE SHELTERS THAT WE LOOK TO ADD. WE'RE LOOKING AT BEING ABLE TO PUT ADVERTISEMENTS ON THEM TO SELL ADVERTISEMENTS ON THE SHELTERS ALSO, SO THAT WAS PART OF PART OF THE PLAN THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON. ANY OTHER ALSO ENCOURAGING PRIVATE DEVELOPERS TO PUT SHELTERS ON THEIR SITE OR CLOSE TO THE RIGHT OF WAY SO THAT WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE SHELTERS ALSO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO
[3. DOWNTOWN TRAM WRAP PROGRAM (RC): RESOLUTION No. 07-2023 CRA; A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE BOARD TO APPROVE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DOWNTOWN TRAM WRAP PROGRAM TO INCREASE VISIBILITY, ATTRACT RIDERS, AND PROMOTE MICROTRANSIT SERVICE; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]
THE NEXT ITEM. THANK YOU, MISS SISTER. OKAY WE'LL GO ON TO THE DOWNTOWN. UH TRAM REP PROGRAM.THANK YOU PANEL, GANDHI SAID AS THE AREA DIRECTOR. FOR THE RECORD, WE WANTED TO INTRODUCE THE TRAM PROGRAM. UM AS AN INTRODUCTION TO THIS NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS THE WRAPPING OF THE TRAM, THE CITY COMMISSION DIRECTED STAFF TO BRING THIS ITEM FORWARD FOR CONSIDERATION.
IT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE CRE LAST MONTH, BUT THE BOARD DIRECTED STAFF TO BRING IT BACK TO CRV FOR RECOMMENDATIONS. THE CONCEPTS WERE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD FOR FEEDBACK CURRENTLY AS PARLIAMENTARY AND WE HAVE ABOUT SEVEN TRAMS IN OUR INVENTORY AT THIS TIME. WE'RE JUST PROPOSING TO WRAP THREE TRAMPS. UH ONE TRAM IS BRAND NEW, SO IT DOESN'T HAVE A RAP AT ALL. SO IT WILL BE A NEW RAP ON THE THIRD TREND THAT WE'RE PROPOSING. AH THE CRB BOARD RECOMMENDED USING THE SAME COLOR FOR CONSISTENCY AND CREATING BRAND IDENTITY FOR FIXED ROUTES. THE BOARD RECOMMENDED BRIGHT GREEN COLOR THAT YOU SEE ON THE FAR LEFT SIDE OF THE BRANDING FIXED ROUTE SERVICE. THE BOARD ALSO RECOMMENDED TO USE THE CITY FONT. UH FOR THE TEXT ON THE TRAMS AND THE REMAINING TRAMS. THE BOARD RECOMMENDED THAT WE SEEK SPONSORSHIP TO WRAP THE TRAMS THAT WE USE FOR HISTORICAL CHORES AND EVENTS. HERE'S AN EXISTING IMAGE OF THE OF THE TRAM AND THE FONT. STAFF ALSO TO, UH, DEVELOPED A BRANDING BOARD FOR INSPIRATION AND CHOOSING BRAND COLORS FOR THE TRAMS. UM THIS WAS PRESENTED TO CRB, UM, BUT THEY STILL SELECTED THE BRIGHT GREEN COLOR. SO TODAY'S STAFF IS LOOKING FOR DIRECTION REGARDING THE PROGRAM DOES THE BOARD RECOMMENDS WRAPPING THE TRAMPS? AND IF SO, DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED TRAMPS THAT PROPOSED CONCEPT THAT WERE PRESENTED TO YOU OR IF NOT, THEN STAFF IS LOOKING FOR RECOMMENDATION ON THEME AND STYLE? MAYOR BURNER. I WANTED TO, UH TO ASK YOU, UM MR FORGOT OH, THEY THE ONES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE. THE MERCHANTS IN TOWN. THEY MIGHT WANT TO DO THEM THEMSELVES TO WRAP IT. AND THE THREE THAT WE ARE WRAPPING. I'M CONCERNED THAT THEY JUST WANT IT WON'T LOOK RIGHT. WE'VE GOT THREE RUNNING AROUND SO MAYBE IN TIME THAT WE REALIZE THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT THAT WE CONTINUE AND WRAP THE REST OF THEM. OKAY IT WAS THE CRB FOUGHT THAT WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH TO TWO MONTHS. WE WOULD TRY. WE WOULD WE WOULD TRY AND SEE WHETHER THE CITY COULD SELL THEM BECAUSE THAT'S A HELL OF A GREAT ADVERTISEMENT FOR $2500. AND IF CORRECTLY IF I GOT THIS, RIGHT BUT IT'S FOR LIKE FIVE OR SEVEN YEARS. THEY'LL HAVE THEIR LOGO OR WHATEVER, HOWEVER, YOU DECIDE TO DO THAT FOR THE NEXT 5 TO 7
[00:15:03]
YEARS FOR $2500. SO NICK BROUGHT THAT UP AT THE MEETING. AND, YOU KNOW, WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD IDEA TO SEE IF WE COULD GET YOU KNOW, THINKING FOR THAT EXPENSE, SO IN THE MEANTIME , THE OTHER THREE, WHICH ARE DOING THE ROUTES AND NOT DOING ANYTHING ELSE, WE COULD BEGIN WRAPPING THEM BECAUSE IT TAKES A WHILE. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE DONE NEXT WEEK, AND WE CAN BEGIN WRAPPING THEM. AND THEN WHEN WE IF WE CAN'T SELL THE OTHER THREE, THEN WE'LL BEAT THEM WELL TO THOSE WRAPS AND WILL HAVE THEIR ADVERTISING. VERY GOOD. OKAY SO EMOTIONS. UM I'LL MOVE THAT WE, UH, STAFF RECOMMENDATION. FOR THOSE FOR THE THREE TRAMS. COLOR GREEN COLORED GREEN BECAUSE IT'S LIFE BRIGHT, LIVELY, COULD BE SEEN. SO WOULD THAT MEAN STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CR THE CR B S RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH STAFF HAS NOW ENCOMPASSED? SECOND OKAY, SO WE HAVE THIS UP. WE HAVE A MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER COMPANY SECOND BY BOARD MEMBER CLARK. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY, ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? SIX. OKAY? THE SAME. GOOD AFTERNOON.THIS IS CHRIS RUDIGER. I MAY BE OUT OF SIGHT. I HOPE I'M NOT ENTIRELY OUT OF MIND. UM I'M JUST SITTING IN I'M IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA, NEW RESIDENTS, SO I HOPE I'M NOT VIOLATING ANY RULES BY COMMENTING BUT IN RELATION TO THE DISCUSSION OF TRENDS, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANY THERE THERE ARE A MAJOR LOGISTIC PIECE OF THE BOAT SHOW THE ANNUAL BOAT SHOW AND I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OF THAT HAD BEEN CONSIDERED OR COULD BE A SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR THIS EFFORT. WELL THANK YOU, CHRIS. THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. I THINK WE ALREADY RENT THOSE OUT THE WHOLE TIME. WELL I'LL JUST LET YOU KNOW I DID SPEAK TO LEE COUNTY, LEE COUNTY. I SPOKE TO LEE COUNTY, THEIR MARKETING DEPARTMENT, AND I'M GETTING A LITTLE INFORMATION ON THEY HAVE BUSINESSES THAT ADVERTISE ON THEIR BUSSES, THEIR BENCHES, THEIR TRAMS. THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE A TRAM, BUT IT'S SORT OF THE SAME THING. SO I REACHED OUT TO THEM AND GOT A LOT OF INFORMATION FROM THEM ON HOW THEY WENT ABOUT IT. WHAT THEY DO IS THEY DO IT BY THE YEAR. AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT CHEAPER THAN WRAPPING THE WHOLE CHAMP TRIM, BUT THEY DO IT BY THE YEAR AND THEN THEY SOLICIT THOSE SAME COMPANIES EVERY YEAR AND OFFER THEM RATES EVERY YEAR THAT ENTICES THEM TO KEEP DOING IT EVERY YEAR. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT. ALSO AS FAR AS THE BOAT SHOW, THAT WOULD BE A GREAT ONE TO REACH OUT TO, BUT THE BOAT SHOW BEING THAT THEY'RE ONLY HERE IN JANUARY, MIGHT ONLY WANT TO DO SOMETHING MORE ON THE ADVERTISEMENT PART ON TOP RATHER THAN A WHOLE TRAM BECAUSE THEY'RE ONLY HERE FOR THAT WEEKEND. SO IT WOULD BE AN OPTION TO REACH OUT TO THEM TO TALK TO THEM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD WANT TO DO AN ADVERTISEMENT AS OPPOSED TO WRAPPING A WHOLE TRAMP. OKAY THANK YOU. ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? SAYING NO MARRIAGE, COLORADO. MEMBER KIM PENNY. YES REMEMBER RICH? YES COLLINS. YES CLARK? YES, BRUNER? YES MCDONALD? YES, OKAY. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS
[4. CRA BUDGET AMENDMENT #03-2023 FOR FY 2023 (RC): RESOLUTION No. 06-2023 CRA; A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING BUDGET AMENDMENT #03 TO THE FY 2023 CRA BUDGET TO TRANSFER FUNDS FROM THE CRA FUND BALANCE TO ALLOCATE TO WRAP THE DOWNTOWN TRAMS TO INCREASE VISIBILITY, ATTRACT RIDERS, AND PROMOTE MICROTRANSIT SERVICE; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]
THE BUDGET AMENDMENT. CORRECT SO STAFF IS REQUESTING TO ALLOCATE $10,000 FOR THEIR PROGRAM. UM INITIALLY, LIKE I SAID, WE'LL BE WRAPPING THREE TRAMS. THE ESTIMATED COSTS ABOUT $2300 FOR EAST TRAMP SO STAFF IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 6-2023 AUTHORIZING ABOUT BUDGET ALLOCATION OF $10,000 FOR THE PROGRAM. MORE APPROVAL OF ALL 6 2023 2ND. OKAY WE HAVE A MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER CLARK, SECOND BY BOARD MEMBER CAMPENNI. ANY DISCUSSION ANY PUBLIC COMMENT. NONE MARRIAGE COLORADO REMEMBER , CLARK? YES REMEMBER? COLLINS YES. CAMPENNI YES, VICE CHAIR. BRUNER YES, CHAIR MCDONALD'S OVER. RICH. YES OKAY, MOVING ON[5. DISCUSSION & DELIBERATION - PROPOSED ART/VINYL WRAPPING ON TRAFFIC CONTROL BOXES WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS]
TO DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION OF PROPOSED ART VINYL WRAPPING ON TRAFFIC CONTROL BOXES. THANK YOU, UM, SO STAFF WAS REQUESTED REQUESTED TO BRING THIS ITEM FORWARD TO WRAP THE TRAFFIC CONTROL BOXES WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. THERE ARE OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT ARE DOING THIS ENHANCED THE APPEARANCE AND OF THE UNATTRACTIVE TRAFFIC BOXES AT VARIOUS HIGH VISIBILITY AREAS . RECENTLY MARTIN COUNTY IMPLEMENTED SIMILAR PROGRAM IN PALM CITY, AND THEY'RE USING THE BIRD THEMED PHOTOS, WHICH WAS DONATED BY A LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER WITHIN THAT CORRIDOR. OF MAP ROAD. THE CITY OF STEWART HAS 37 TRAFFIC BOXES WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF THE TOTAL. THERE[00:20:02]
ARE ABOUT 25 TRAFFIC BOXES WITHIN THE C R. A AND THE COUNTY OWNS AND MAINTAINS THOSE TRAFFIC CONTROL BOXES. THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO MAINTAIN THEM. ONCE WE APPLY THE WRAPPING, THE GOAL IS TO MAKE THEM ATTRACTIVE. UM WE COULD DO THEMES SUCH AS A LANDMARK NATURE, WILDLIFE, HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE OR ENVIRONMENT. THE COST IS APPROXIMATELY $850 PER TRAFFIC BOXES PER TRAFFIC BOX, SO IT'S ABOUT 46,000 TO WRAP 25 TRAFFIC BOXES WITHIN THE C R A. OR YOU'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 35,000 TO WRAP ALL THE TRAFFIC BOXES WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE STAFF TIME TO PREPARE THE PROPOSALS AND COLLECT THE ARTWORK. TO INSTALL ON THOSE BOXES. THE LIFE EXPECTANCY IS ABOUT 3 TO 5 YEARS WHEN I'VE TALKED TO SIGN COMPANIES. AND SO STAFF IS LOOKING FOR DIRECTION. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE CRB. IT DID FAIL THREE IN FAVOR AND THREE NOT IN FAVOR OF WRAPPING THE BOXES. UH IF THIS DOES GET PASSED BY THE SIERRA, THE CRB DID RECOMMEND THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME NATURE ENVIRONMENTAL TYPE OF ARTWORK THAT COULD BLEND WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA. SO TODAY'S STAFF IS LOOKING FOR DIRECTION ON WHETHER THE CRE WANTS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WRAPPING THE TRAFFIC CONTROL BOXES. AND IF SO , WE'RE LOOKING FOR DIRECTION, ARTWORK THEME, AND IF IT SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED JUST IN THE C, R A OR CITYWIDE AND RECOMMEND FUNDING SOURCES HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. YOU SAID THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO MAINTAIN IT JUST MAINTAINING THE RAP, NOT MAINTAINING JUST THE RIGHT BECAUSE I COULD I WOULD HATE TO SEE US. I HAVE TO TAKE CONTROL MAINTENANCE OF THE OF THE ACTUAL CAFFREY CONTROL BOX. WE'RE JUST BEING MAINTAINING THE WRAP AROUND CORRECT IT WOULD BE CONTROLLED THE TRACK, WE COULD JUST USE IT TO BUILD A WALL. TRAFFIC LIGHT WALL. UM OKAY, THAT'S MICHAEL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? SO COMMISSIONER COLLINS. IF WE WERE GOING TO GO THIS ROUTE, I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT THE WATER YOU KNOW THE ENVIRONMENTAL WATERSIDE. I KNOW THE BIRDS HAVE BEEN A THEME, BUT I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE SOMETHING MAKE STEWART UNIQUE IS SORT OF THE AQUATIC WATER THEME OR SOMETHING HISTORICAL. SOME OF THE HISTORICAL SIDE. I LIKE THE IDEA BUSINESSES. I THINK THAT WAS MENTIONED. PAYING FOR THIS VERSUS ESPECIALLY COMING OUT OF GENERAL FUND. IT'S ONE THING IF IT'S C R A. BUT IF WE'RE TALKING CITYWIDE FIVE. BUT IF WE COULD HAVE BUSINESSES AS PART OF THAT , SPONSORING THESE AS WELL, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO SEE. I THINK ITS SPONSORSHIP. I'M FINE WITH PAYING FOR EVEN PART OF IT, BUT IF WE CAN GET A OFFSET THE COSTS WITH SPONSORSHIP, AND I THINK AN EDUCATIONAL PIECE I WAS TALKING WITH MR MARTEL AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LIKE THAT, HE SAID. YOU KNOW, WE COULD YOU KNOW, WE CAN INCLUDE PICTURES OF FISH THAT ARE COMMON TO THE SAME SUSHI RIVER RIVER OR YOU KNOW WHAT WE DID THE WHEN WE DID THE BIRDS OF COLORADO ART PROJECT OF ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO. I THINK MR COMPANY ACTUALLY DONATED ONE OF THE SCULPTORS. IT WAS ALL WATERBIRDS FOUND ON THE ST LUCIE RIVER. SO ON THE SIDE OF THE RIVER, SO THERE'S SO I THINK THAT GOING WITH THAT TYPE OF THEME, AND, UM YOU KNOW, AND MR CROSS KEYS. I DON'T SEE HIM, BUT HE'S REALLY GOOD AT USUALLY FINDING PEOPLE DONATE TOWARDS THESE TYPE OF SPONSORSHIP, SO WE'LL WE'LL PUT HIM TO WORK. BUT SOMETHING THAT'S DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, UNIQUE FROM LIKE PORT SAINT LUCIE OR SOME OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS WHERE THEY JUST DO THOSE BIRDS. WE COULD CREATE AN EDUCATIONAL PIECE. I THINK I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF IT. I THINK IT'S A GREAT EXPENSE. AND EVERY THREE OR FOUR YEARS THAT YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO KEEP PAYING AND PAYING AND NOT GETTING ANYTHING IN RETURN. UM NO, I JUST THINK IT'S A GREAT EXPENSE. YEAH IT WAS JUST A THINK IT WILL GO WELL INTO THE BRANDON AND TO THE COHESIVENESS OF THE CRE AND THE DOWNTOWN AREA. AND I THINK THAT THAT GREAT EXPENSE WILL BE WELL SPENT AND WILL CREATE A BETTER SENSE OF PLACE AND I THINK IT WOULD BE AN ENHANCEMENT. ESPECIALLY IF WE CHOOSE SOMETHING THAT'S YOU KNOW. COMMISSIONER RICH. I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER CLARK VERY MUCH SO ABOUT CREATING A SENSE OF IDENTITY FOR THE C R A. SO WHERE WOULD THIS SPONSORSHIP APPEAR ON? WOULD IT BE ON THE SMALLER SIDE AT THE BOTTOM OR THE TOP? I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE I MEAN, I AGREE WITH YOU, COMMISSIONER COLLARDS. YOU KNOW THE NATURE THINGS JUST GET ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT.[00:25:03]
THEY WERE JUST THERE. JUST RIGHT . THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF THEIR SUPPORT. NO, NO, IT WOULD BE MORE OF A DONATION. YEAH WE'VE DONE IT LIKE WITH THE DOG. POLICE DOG. ANOTHER WORK OR IT COULD BE SOMETHING REALLY SMALL AT THE BOTTOM BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO WANT SOMETHING, BUT WHICH IS FINE. I THINK SOMETHING REALLY SMALL AT THE BOTTOM, BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING STAFF COULD BRING BACK TO US, AND THERE ARE FOUR SIDE. YEAH QUITE SMALL, ACTUALLY. I DON'T KNOW.I'M JUST WONDERING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE. OKAY IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIKE FUNDED BY DATA DATA, WE COULD PUT SOME SMALL RECOGNIZE THEM, RIGHT? YEAH BECAUSE I THINK PEOPLE ARE YOU'LL GET YOU'LL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING SPONSORSHIP. IF YOU UH, YOU KNOW, THIS RAP PROVIDED BY WAS THAT THE ACNE EXPLOSION COMPANY OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT MAYBE WITH A SMALL QR CODE, DO YOU MR CHAIR DO YOU WANT YOU'VE GIVEN DIRECTION. DO YOU WANT THAT TO GO BACK TO THE CRB AND LET THE BELL FLUSH IT OUT THERE AND THEN BRING IT BACK HERE BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY, DON'T YOU THINK? YOU KNOW, RIGHT? YEAH, I'LL HAVE TO DEVELOP SOME PROGRAMS AND BRING THAT TO CRV FOR MR I LIKE I REALLY LIKE, UM UH, COMMISSIONER COLLINS SAID HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE BIRDS OR FISHES OR SOMETHING. AND COMMISSIONER, UM RICH WHEN IF SOMEBODY'S WALKING, AND THEY LIKE X SWALLOWTAIL OR WHATEVER. AND THAT CURE QUOTE IS THERE AND EITHER, AND IT SAYS, OH, IT'S THE SOMETHING COMPANY. THIS ALSO SEE GOES BACK BECAUSE THERE IS A SEQUELS BANK AND THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE BUSINESS OR THEY FIND OUT ABOUT THE BIRD. WHATEVER THE CURE CODE IS DESIGNED TO DO. IT'S BOTH. IT'S I THINK THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD DEAL. I THINK WHEN YOU'RE WALKING DOWNTOWN AND IN THE ERA WE WANT TO PROMOTE THE C R A. AND SO YEAH, THEY THANK YOU FOR THINKING ABOUT ADDING A CURE CODE, BECAUSE EVEN IF IT'S SMALL WHEN PEOPLE ARE WALKING, IF THEY'RE INTERESTED, THEY'LL FIND IT. THEY'LL SEE IT. SO WE YEAH, IT TO PAY FOR IT. IT'S A SPONSORS OR ARE WE WELL, IT COULD BE A COMBINATION, RIGHT? BUT WE'LL SEE HOW THE PROGRAM SURE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DESIGN THE PROGRAM. SO DO WE NEED A DO? WE MIGHT DO WE NEED A MOTION FOR THIS TO SEND OR IS IT CONCEPTION AND ADDRESSING THIS? ER YEAH. OKAY. IT'S THERAPY. WE HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT. YEAH, I GUESS WE HAVE SOME PUBLIC. CAMERON THIS MISS WAXER, AND I'D LIKE TO WALK INTO THE WELCOME BACK FORMER COMMISSIONER AND MAYOR AT HOME. KIND OF SORT OF, UM, MY NAME IS CAROL WAXLER FOR THE RECORD, AND I JUST I AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER BREWSTER. UH, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU GET INTO BECAUSE IT'S A MAINTENANCE. IT'S CONTINUE, SO YOU CAN'T JUST IF YOU GO DOWN TO FORT LAUDERDALE OR SOME OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE DONE THIS, YOU SEE THAT THEY'VE BEEN NEGLECTED , AND THEN IT LOOKS TACKY. SO IF YOU'RE IN FOR A PENNY IN FOR A POUND, SO YOU'VE GOT TO WEIGH WHAT THE ACTUAL COST WOULD BE. AND YOU KNOW WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE TO UNDERWRITE IT. THE CITY HAS TO UNDERWRITE IT WITHOUT GETTING SPONSORS OR THINGS LIKE THAT. SO I JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST GIVE IT GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT OF THE LONG TERM. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY I GUESS THAT'S ALL WE HAVE ON THAT THERE'S NOTHING ELSE ON THE AGENDA SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND ADJOURN THIS MEETING AND RECONVENE IN. WELL IT'S 5 30. WELL YEAH, IT'S JUST ABOUT 5 30 IN ABOUT ONE MINUTE. WE NEED A BIT OF WORK.
