SO JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT THIS IS. WE'RE JUST APPROVING FOR PAL TO GO OUT AND OBTAIN BIDS. CORRECT CORRECT, RIGHT AND I. I SHARE PAL'S FRUSTRATION. I MEAN, I REMEMBER WHEN THIS WHEN THE NUMBER BECAME CAME BEFORE US INITIALLY, AND IT WAS QUITE SMALL FIVE OR SIX. MAYBE NOT EVEN THAT LARGE AND NOW IT'S OVER $12 MILLION, SO I APPRECIATE, UH, THE ADDITIONAL EFFORT HERE AND NOT AN INCONSIDERABLE EXPENSE. UH, TO OBTAIN THIS UPDATED RFP. THE ONLY THING I'D LIKE TO SEE PAL IS COULD WE SEE THE STREETSCAPE WITHOUT THE UNDERGROUND A JUST SO WE HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION WE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION TO SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY WHENEVER THEY DO PROVIDE THE PRICE PROPOSAL. THEY DO BY, UH, EACH AREA, SO IT'S A SEMINOLE STREET UNDERGROUND. HE HAS HIS OWN PRICE PROPOSAL AND THEN THE UNDERGROUND FOR OSTEO ST LUCY IN COLORADO, AND THEN, UH, STREETSCAPE SO YOU WILL SEE THREE DIFFERENT PRICE PROPOSAL, AND ALTOGETHER WAS 12 MILLION THAT WE SAW IN THE SECOND RFD. BUT CONAN WE ALSO SEE WHAT IT

[00:20:02]

WOULD LOOK LIKE A VISUAL. YOU KNOW, SHOWS A PICTURE OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THE STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS. WE'LL DO THE WHOLE PRESENTATION WHEN WE BRING BACK THE THIRD STREET SCRAPE WITHOUT THE UNDERGROUND, OK, SO WE'LL SEE AN IMAGE OF THAT AS WELL. AND IF I COULD, UH, WELL, I THINK I WAS ACTUALLY IN THE SA GOING THE SAME DIRECTION AS COMMISSIONER RICH. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT THAT WAS THE STUDIO. OH, YEP. SORRY. THANK YOU. WHAT THE STREETSCAPE WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH THE ENHANCED. UH, IF WE DON'T UNDERGROUND IT ON BOTH OSCEOLA STREET AND SEMINOLE STREET WITH THE SIDEWALK WILL LOOK LIKE BECAUSE WHAT I'M HEARING IS THAT ON OSCEOLA STREET, THE TELEPHONE POLES OR THE LIGHT POLES THAT THEY WOULD BE PUTTING IN TO REPLACE THE WOOD ONES WOULD BE SO LARGE THAT WOULD BLOCK BLOCK THE SIDEWALK. AND I WANNA GET A I WANNA GET AN A. IF YOU HAVE TO GET WITH FOR THE POWER AND LIKE TO GET AN ACCURATE DEPICTION OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE, BECAUSE I THINK IT WOULD BE A DISASTER TO BLOCK THE SIDEWALKS. BUT THERE WOULD BE MANY, MANY AS WELL. THERE WOULD BE FEWER POLLS AS WELL. I THINK WITH THE BUT ANYWAY YEAH, LET'S JUST LET'S JUST GET A COMPREHENSIVE AND THAT'S OUR CALL TO PRESENT THE WHOLE PROJECT. THANK YOU, MR MARTEL. DID YOU? YES. I JUST WANTED FOR CLARIFICATION. THE AGENDA ITEM.

WHICH IS RESOLUTION 31 2024 IS AGENDA ITEM AUTHORIZING THE CITY. UH TO NEGOTIATE WITH BURKHART CONSTRUCTION OF WEST PALM BEACH, WHO WAS THE RESPONSE TO THE US FOR PROPOSALS. WILL IT BE COMING BACK TO THE COMMISSION FOR THEIR CONTRACT FOR THE AMOUNT TO PREPARE THE PROPOSAL.

UM THAT WE HAVE IT ALREADY IN THE BUDGET, SO WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT WITH THE ACTUAL PRICE PROPOSAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION. PORTION THIS IS TO ACTUALLY HIRE THEM AND PAY THEM.

WHATEVER AMOUNT DID THEY TELL US THE PRICE? UH, SOMETHING WE WOULD NEGOTIATE WHEN WE START THE PROCESS. THEY DON'T PROVIDE THAT AS PART OF THAT, THEN HOW DO WE KNOW IT'S IN THE BUDGET? RIGHT IT'S IN THE UNDERGROUND STREETSCAPE SUCH AS THAT I HAVE, UM WITH THE OVERALL PROJECT. AND I WANTED TO ADD ALSO THAT WE'VE SAID YAY, NAY AND IN THESE FIGURES, BUT I. I CAN'T I JUST I THINK IT WOULD BE JUST SO MUCH BETTER. WE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO UH, ME. PERSONALLY I BELIEVE, UH, TO PAY THIS MONEY OVER IF IT'S UNDER 12 MILLION, BECAUSE IT'S NEEDED, UM ALL THE BIG POLES AND ALL THE WORK WE'VE DONE IN IN IN IN THE BEAUTY AND HOW IT WILL HELP US AND WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THESE POLLS ANYMORE AND ALL OF OUR BUSINESSES IN THIS TOWN. SO I BELIEVE WE NEED IT. BUT THANK YOU NOW FOR ALL YOU'RE DOING WELL, JUST TO CLARIFY WE'RE NOT APPROVING. THIS IS JUST TO APPROVE HER TO GO OUT AND OBTAIN A BID. FOR PRICE UNKNOWN. NO, THEY'VE PICKED THE COMPANY BURKHART CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN CHOSEN. SO THIS IS AUTHORIZING PANEL. TO PAY THEM AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT TO DRAFT. A CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AT RISK PROPOSAL. SO THE AMOUNT THAT SHE'S GONNA PROBABLY NEGOTIATE WITH THEM WILL BE BETWEEN 30 $70,000 THAT SHE PAYS THEM NOW. FOR THEM TO PUT TOGETHER A FULL SOUP TONIGHT. NUMBER AND THEY MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHERE WE CAN CUT DOWN COSTS IN ORDER TO GET YOU KNOW TO THE TO THE PRICE THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. UM SO THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF DISCUSSION MEETING AND REVIEWING THE PLANS SO THAT THEY CAN GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS. AND HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THIS WOULD GO BACK AND FORTH? UM WELL, THEN ONCE, UH, I WOULD, I WOULD SAY 3 TO 5 MONTHS ONCE WE GET THE FINAL PROPOSAL.

AND FOR CLARITY. WOULD THEY ALSO THEN BE THE COMPANY THAT DOES DO THE UNDERGROUND. SO THERE HAS TO BE SOME NUMBER WHICH YOU'RE GONNA SAY. YOU'RE GONNA SAY NO, I'M NOT WILLING TO PAY YOU $100,000. EXACTLY SO WE'RE GONNA SEE WHAT THAT INITIAL COST LOOKS LIKE, UM, IT SHOULD BE AROUND 3 30,000 TO $50,000 FOR THEM TO PUT TOGETHER THE BID PROPOSAL. AND THEN THAT FINAL BID PROPOSAL IS WHAT I'M GOING TO BRING FORWARD TO THE BOARD. GOOD THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT I'LL I'LL MOVE TO APPROVAL ITEM THREE SECOND. RIGHT. WE HAVE A, UM COMMISSIONER MCDONALD FOR APPROVAL. COMMISSIONER CLARK SECONDED. UM THANK YOU, PAL. IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENT FROM OUR HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS. I SEE NONE BUT ROLL CALL COMMISSIONER COLLINS VICE MAYOR RICH YES. MAYOR BRUNER. YES COMMISSIONER MCDONALD? YES. AND COMMISSIONER CLARK? YES. OK MR

[00:25:09]

CLARK, COMMISSION CLERK. COMMISSIONER I MEAN, MAYOR. SORRY MAYOR. THAT'S THE END OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. I JUST WANTED TO SAY FOR THE PUBLIC AND THOSE WHO MAY NOT KNOW ON THE AGENDA I APPOINTED, UM AARON HAWKINS TO BE A MEMBER OF THE CRB AND I WANTED TO PUBLICLY THANK UH CHRIS LEWIS, WHO HAD BEEN THE PRIOR MEMBER. I THINK FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS AND I APPRECIATE THAT THAT WAS APPROVED IN ITEM NUMBER FOUR. OK? UH, I'VE JUST COME SO II. I SAT THROUGH MANY OF THOSE MEETINGS AND LISTEN TO MR LEWIS AND I THOUGHT HE MADE VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS OBVIOUSLY CARED ABOUT THE CITY AND I'M SORRY TO SEE HIM LEAVE THE BOARD. BUT I KNOW WE'VE HAD ISSUES. OF COURSE . EVERYBODY HAS TALKED ABOUT THE THINGS SO THERE MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK. BUT HE HAD A REALLY TOUGH SCHEDULE, AND WHEN HE COMES, HE DOES PARTICIPATE REALLY WELL. AND YOU KNOW, I COULD. YOU KNOW THE WAY THAT THE BOARD WAS GOING IF I KEEP THINKING EXCUSES THAT HE'S GOOD, BUT HE COULD MAKE IT TO THIS MEETING FOR THE NEXT MEETING OR THE OTHER MEETING, AND I HEARD FROM THE CLERK THAT HE WAS VERY GOOD ABOUT ADVISING THEM WHEN HE COULD NOT COME TO A MEETING. BUT HE DID HAVE A LOT OF SCHEDULE AND IN CONFLICT.

[6. AUTHORIZATION TO RESCIND HUDSON'S ON THE RIVER VALET PARKING AGREEMENT (RC): RESOLUTION No. 37-2024; A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA RESCINDING THE LICENSE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF STUART AND HUDSON’S ON THE RIVER, LLC TO UTILIZE PARKING LOCATED AT NORTH END OF FLAGLER AVENUE FOR THE PURPOSE OF OPERATING A DOWNTOWN VALET PARKING SERVICES PILOT PROGRAM; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

AUTHORIZATION TO RESCIND HUDSON'S ON THE RIVER VALET PARKING AGREEMENT. AND UM LEE, COULD YOU READ THAT FOR US, PLEASE? OF COURSE, RESOLUTION NUMBER 37-2024 OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART , FLORIDA WERE SENDING THE LICENSE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF STUART AND HUDSON'S ON THE RIVER LLC TO UTILIZE PARKING, LOCATED AT NORTH END OF FLAGLER AVENUE. FOR THE PURPOSE OF OPERATING A DOWNTOWN VALET PARKING SERVICES PILOT PROGRAM.

PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. I BE HANDLING THE MATTER, UM SO THE BOARD ASKED ME TO SCHEDULE THIS. ON TONIGHT'S MEETING. BECAUSE IT WAS A CONTRACT THAT WAS ALREADY IN PLACE. THE ONLY WAY TO PUT IT AS AN ACTION ITEM WAS OBVIOUSLY TOO INCLUDED AS A RESCIND RESCINDING OF THE CONTRACT TO THE REALITY OF IT IS THAT THE, UM IF YOU LOOK AT THE RESOLUTION , I DIDN'T EVEN PUT ANYTHING IN AS FAR AS THE ACTION THAT THE COMMISSION WAS GOING TO TAKE BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE WHAT THE DIRECTION WAS. A BRIEF HISTORY. UH, WHEN THE ROOSEVELT BRIDGE EXPANDED TO THE BIG ROOSEVELT BRIDGE. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PURCHASED ALL THE LAND FOR THE TAKING ON BOTH THE SOUTH AND NORTH SIDES OF THE RIVER. WHEN THEY WERE FINISHED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION. THEY OFFERED TO SELL SURPLUS LANDS TO THE CITY. THE CITY PURCHASED THE SUNSET BAY AREA. AS WELL AS, UM, SOME OF THIS LAND DOWN HERE. IT'S UH, THE SUBJECT OF THIS CONVERSATION AS WELL AS SOME NORTH POINT PROPERTY. UM SUNSET BAY WAS CONVERTED INTO A MARINA.

AND THE PARKING LOT ON THE SUNSET. BAYSIDE HAS A UH, REVERTER CLAUSE IN IT FROM F DOT THAT SAID THAT THE PROPERTY HAD TO BE MAINTAINED AS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. UM, THE CITY COMMISSION AS PART OF THE APPROVAL FOR THE SUNSET BAY MARINA AGREED THAT THE OPERATOR OF THE MARINA AND RESTAURANT WOULD MANAGE THE PARKING LOT. AND AS A RESULT, AT LEAST THE ENTIRE PARKING LOT.

UH, 365 DAYS A YEAR. TO THEM TO MANAGE AS THEY SAW FIT, CONDITIONED UPON THE FACT THAT THE, UH THEY COULD NOT CHARGE SOMEONE TO VALET PARK. UM, AND IT WOULD BE REMAINED OPEN TO THE PUBLIC UNDER THAT. TERM. THE CITY THEN WENT OUT. UH, WHEN THE DAILIES WERE, UH, AFTER THE DAILIES DID THE PUBLIC REFERENDUM FOR THE PELICAN CAFE AND EXTENDED THE LEASE. THEY TURNED AROUND AND WERE CLOSING THE PELICAN CAFE AND UH, MR MEDIC, KAITI HAD COME FORWARD AND ENTERED INTO A LONG TERM LEASE WITH THE CITY. WHEREIN HE BOUGHT OUT THE PELICAN CAFE AND THEN AGREED TO BUILD A NEW RESTAURANT ON THE SITE. AND AS THE THAT NEW SITE, UM BECAME, UH, OPEN FOR BUSINESS. IT HAD TURNED OUT THAT THE, UH EMPLOYEES AND STAFF AND OTHER PEOPLE. HAD BEEN PARKING AT THE AT THE NORTH END OF THE FLAGLER AVENUE PARKING LOT, AND THEN WALKING THE BOARDWALK OVER TO GET TO WORK. AS A RESULT, HE APPROACHED THE COMMISSION. AND,

[00:30:02]

UM ASKED FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO ALLOW FOR VALET PARKING ON THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS. AND THE CITY COMMISSION. UH, AFTER, UH, REVIEWING THE MATTER ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT ALLOWING FOR THE VALET PARKING ON THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS. WHICH HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THAT DATE. UH, THE HIS CLAIM WAS THAT IF HE DIDN'T HAVE THE VALET NUMBER ONE. THE OTHER EMPLOYEES WERE FILLING HIS PARKING LOT BEFORE HE COULD EVEN GET CUSTOMERS A NUMBER TWO BY HAVING VALET HE CAN UH, MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SUFFICIENT PARKING JUST LIKE SUNSET BAY HAS UM I DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH MORE BY WAY OF INFORMATION. I KNOW EVERYBODY'S BEEN DOWN THERE TO LOOK AT IT. UM, AS IT RELATES TO COMPLAINTS. WE GET. WE'VE WE'VE HAD COMPLAINTS OVER THE YEARS FROM SUNSET BAY. UM AS A, UM, PERTAINING TO THE VALET OR PEOPLE, NOT KNOWING THAT IT WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC OR ACTUALLY, RECENTLY THE BALLET IS TELLING ONE OF THE BUSINESSES OVER THERE THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS COULDN'T THERE BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T CUSTOMERS OF THE MARINA OR OF, UM SUNSET BAY AND I HAD TO INTERVENE A LITTLE BIT AND JUST REMIND EVERYBODY THAT IT WAS PUBLIC, AND IT SOLVED ITSELF IN 24 HOURS. IN THE INSTANCE IN THIS CASE. UM I AM AWARE OF AN INCIDENT WHERE THERE WAS A FISHERMAN THAT WANTED TO PARK IN THE FEC PARKING SPOTS BECAUSE THE FIRST TWO SPACES WERE RECLAIMED BY THE FEC. AND, UH, I KNOW THE POLICE GET CALLED AT THE POINT, BUT HE REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE, DID NOT WANT ANYBODY TO VALLEY PARK HIS CAR AND DID NOT WANT TO PARK UP FURTHER TOWARD DOWNTOWN WHERE THERE WERE SPACES AVAILABLE.

AND, UM I THINK THAT WAS LIKE, THREE MONTHS AGO OR SO. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER FORMAL COMPLAINTS. I KNOW THAT MISS MCBRIDE MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS SOME ISSUES, BUT I THOUGHT SHE WAS REFERRING TO THE SAME FISHERMEN OR SHE MAY HAVE SAID THAT SHE DROVE DOWN AS WELL AND SAW THE CONES. UM, BUT THE CONES ARE PROBABLY NOT THERE TONIGHT, BUT THEY WOULD BE THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. UNLESS THE COMMISSION DIRECTS OTHERWISE. UM MR MCDONALD LIKE THIS AT THE SAME TIME, WE DID THE BALLET THAT WE CHANGED IT. THREE HOUR AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE SO I'M SORRY, THEN WE THEN WE CHANGE IT TO THREE HOUR PARKING AS WELL DOWN THERE AT THE SAME TIME. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS AT THE SAME TIME, BUT I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A THREE HOUR PARKING ADDITION ADDED, BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THREE HOUR PARKING IS AT FOUR O'CLOCK. YOU BEAT THE THREE HOUR BECAUSE IF YOU PARK AT FOUR THREE HOUR EXPIRES AT SEVEN. SO 401. MAKES YOU TECHNICALLY NOT GET A TICKET AT 701. SO THAT THAT KIND OF HAS BEEN PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH OUR THREE HOUR PARKING, BUT YOU KNOW IT, THE REALITY OF IT IS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF DOWNTOWNS. THAT WOULD BEG. TO HAVE ENOUGH CUSTOMERS GOING DOWNTOWN THAT THEY GOT TO HAVE A PARKING DISCUSSION. I SO YOU KNOW, IT'S HOWEVER, YOU WANT IT TO BE. I. I DO HAVE A I THINK I SHOULD SPEAK FIRST. UM BECAUSE, UM I WENT TO SEE MR MEDIC MEDIC IS AND, UM I THINK I SPOKE OUT OF TURN. I THINK I, UM I, UM I THINK I OWE MY COMMISSIONERS AN APOLOGY.

BECAUSE THIS TOWN AND THESE BUSINESSES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. AND AS WE SAID, AND TALKED I REMEMBER THE $2 MILLION THAT HE HAD PUT IN THAT. AND BUILT THAT BUILDING. AND PLUS, HE PAYS US ABOUT 10 TIMES MORE THAN THE CAFE AND WE DID. HE HASN'T BROKEN HIS CONTRACT HIS LEASE. WE DID AGREE TO THOSE PARKING SPACES. UM AND EVERYBODY USES A MIX MIX. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN, UH UM THE FISHERMEN ARE COMING AND GOING AND II. I WOULD NEVER WANT TO DO ANYTHING. ON MY PART. DESTROY A MAN'S BUSINESS. UM IT'S THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE TOWN AND WE WORK THINGS OUT. UM AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE US TAKE ANY OF THAT AWAY FROM YOU MYSELF. HAVE ANY OTHER MAYOR.

YES. UH, OK? I MEAN, SO YOU'RE YOU'RE SAYING THAT THIS WAS BROUGHT UP BY? I THINK A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC AND YOU HAD BROUGHT IT UP, TOO. BUT I'M NOT GONNA KIND OF RESPOND TO WHAT

[00:35:05]

YOU'RE SAYING. NOW IIII I UNLESS YOU WANTED SOMEBODY WANTS TO WITHDRAW THIS WHOLE WHOLE THING, BUT BEFORE ANYBODY DOES THAT I JUST HAVE SOME QUESTIONS THAT I JUST HAVE TO WANNA GET OUT. SO, UM NUMBER ONE. I KNOW THAT WHEN THIS CAME UP FROM OUR CITIZEN, UM UM BE B HAD BROUGHT THIS UP.

I WAS WONDERING IF WE ACTUALLY HAD A WAY AND I DID TALK TO, MISTER. UM LIGET EARLIER ON TODAY, IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT MAYBE ANY OF THE FISHERMEN OR ANYBODY HAD SENT IN DIRECT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PARKING AND THE AVAILABILITY OF THE PARKING FOR THEM, OR IF IT WAS JUST SOMEBODY LOOKING FROM DRIVING AROUND SAYING WELL, MAYBE THESE GUYS JUST DON'T HAVE ANY PLACE TO PARK BECAUSE THE VALLEY IS PROBABLY USING THE SPOT OR WHATEVER IS HAPPENING. I JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THAT. THE OTHER THING THAT I WANTED TO AT WAS WE KNEW THAT IT WAS AT THE END OF THE POINT. AND I DO AGREE WITH YOU, UM, MAYOR THAT WHEN WE APPROVED IT, WE KNEW THAT THERE WERE NOT 203 100 OR ANY 100 PARKING SPACES THERE THAT WOULD MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE RESTAURANT, AND IT WOULD FOLLOW UNDER THE SAME THING AS ANYBODY DOWNTOWN. YOU HAVE TO SCRAMBLE FOR PARKING OR PARK IN A PARKING LOT AND TAKE THE TROLLEY AND COME TO WHERE YOU COME IN. SOME PEOPLE DON'T DO THAT, AND THEY EXPECT THAT WHEN THEY COME, THEY'LL GET THE VALET . HOPEFULLY THE VALLEY WILL FIND SOMEWHERE TO PUT THEM I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE PUT IN THEIR THEIR PARK IN THERE, SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR MAYBE CITY MANAGER. HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP ME NUMBER ONE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE PUTTING THEIR THEIR PEOPLE WHEN THEY DO THE VALET IF THEY'RE PUT THEM BEHIND HERE, WHERE THE UM THE, UH STUART FEED STORIES OR THEY'RE TAKING THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE. I'M NOT WHERE THEY'RE IN THE CONE SPACES THAT THEY BLOCK OFF.

THAT'S ALL. SO THEY'RE NOT MOVING FURTHER AWAY. THEN THEY'RE JUST STAYING IN THAT AREA. OK FINE. THAT'S GOOD. THE OTHER THING IS THAT IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO WITH THE PARK OR WITH THIS, THE ISLAND THAT'S THERE WHERE YOU YOU GO AROUND. IF THERE'S ANYWHERE THAT EITHER THE CITY UNDER COLLABORATION OR ALLOWING MR MANTIS TO CREATE SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES WHERE 8910 IN 14. WHATEVER I KNOW THAT IT WILL COST MORE MONEY. AND I HEAR, UM, THE MAYOR, SPEAKING ABOUT THE MONEY THAT HAS BEEN PUT INTO THE PROPERTY, UM INTO CITY PROPERTY.

UM IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY TO RESTRUCTURE SOMETHING IN THE IN THE PARK I KNOW WE HAVE THE BASKETBALL. WE HAVE OTHER THINGS . OR MAYBE THERE'S A WAY TO LOOK AT IT AND RESTRIKE AND WORK IN THE AREA OR TO REDUCE A LITTLE BIT OF THE GREEN. IN THE MIDDLE AND CREATE SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAS BEEN EXPLORED FULLY WITH MR MANICOTTI, UM AND THEN, UH, WHAT ELSE WE ORGANIZE? UM I WANTED TO REMIND US, TOO, THAT IT'S SIX MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR AND NOT 12 AND I DID EXPLORE IT WITH MR MEIS, AND ORIGINALLY HE HAD APPROACHED THE CITY AND OFFERED TO BUILD THE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES, BUT HE WANTED AN EXCHANGE FOR HIS PAYING FOR THEM TO THEM TO BE DEDICATED TO HIS BUSINESS AND UH , MR DIAS, AND I INFORMED HIM THAT BECAUSE THE UH, SPACES WOULD BE IN PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY THAT THERE WOULD BE IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE COMMISSION TO DEDICATE THEM TO HIM EXCLUSIVELY. AND AS A RESULT, HE DIDN'T SEEM AND HAS NEVER BROUGHT UP AGAIN. THE IDEA OF HIM PAYING FOR THEM IS THERE. MAYBE WE COULD LOOK AT THE DOWNTOWN GRAND WHERE MAYBE THE CITY AND HIM COULD WE COULD GET SOME FUNDS FROM? I DON'T KNOW WHAT REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL THERE IS BETWEEN WHATEVER MAIN STREET HAS, OR PINAL CAN FIND THAT MAYBE WE COULD DO A PARTNERSHIP. AND BECAUSE IT IS, YOU KNOW, IT IS GOING TO BE. I DON'T THINK YOU'LL EVER BE ABLE TO SAY IT'S EXCLUSIVE JUST TO HIM ALONE, AND WE NEED TO HAVE IT AS AVAILABLE, BUT HE COULD STILL PUT IN SOME OF THE FUNDS. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE THOSE FUNDS WILL COME FROM FROM US. REALISTICALLY IT'S I THINK YOU COULD PUT LIKE NINE SPACES IN IF YOU TOOK OUT THE GRASS AREA THAT'S IN THE CENTER OF THE, UM PART THAT GOES UNDERNEATH THE BRIDGE. AND IN THE GENERAL SCHEME OF THINGS. THE ISSUE WASN'T WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S NINE SPACES BECAUSE UP BY THE FLAGLER CENTER AND UP BY, UH, WHERE. BRIAN, MASS OFFICE. UM THERE'S PARKING AVAILABLE. IT WAS THE 31 SPACES THAT HE HAD. RENTED TO VALET AND THAT WAS WAS

[00:40:07]

THAT WAS THE ISSUE. UM SO I DON'T KNOW IF HE BUILT THOSE NINE SPACES IF YOU'RE SAYING TO RESCIND THE VALET AGREEMENT IN LIEU OF THE NINE SPACES OR WHAT, BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT. UM, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. I WANTED TO ALSO ASK, UM, THE RAILROAD STATION. I MEAN, THE RAILROAD BRIDGE. DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THAT WILL BE COMING AND WE'LL WHAT SIDE THEY'LL BE WORKING ON. I KNOW THAT'S GONNA CAUSE ANOTHER. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION IS NOT GOING TO BE TERRIBLY IMPACTFUL AS IT RELATES TO THE PARKING JUST BECAUSE WHEN THEY DOUBLE TRACKED THROUGH DOWNTOWN STEWART. MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE IT. OK THE NEW BRIDGE WILL NOT START CONSTRUCTION. FOR SOME TIME, THEY'RE STILL WAITING TO FIND OUT WHAT LEVEL OF NEPA UH, IS GONNA BE REQUIRED. UM IF IT'S A FULL EVALUATION WHEN THEY CAME FORWARD, THE FIRST TIME IT TOOK THREE YEARS OF NEPA. THEY'RE HOPING IT'S LESS THAN THAT. BUT EVEN SO, IT SHOULDN'T IMPACT THE PARKING. THEY SHOULD DO EVERYTHING WITHIN THEIR RIGHT OF WAY IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF VEHICLES AND EVERYTHING. AT THE END. I DO KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION WITH THE COUNTY ABOUT MODIFYING THAT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT THAT THEY HAVE WITH THE COUNTY THAT REQUIRES THEM TO HAVE THE TWO PARKING SPACES FOR THE BRIDGE MONITORS AND F ER AND BRIGHT LINE ARE REQUESTING THAT THAT BE RELEASED BECAUSE THEY DON'T RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT FROM IT. AND I BELIEVE THE COUNTY IS GOING TO AMEND THE CONTRACT. BUT I'M NOT 100% SURE, AND IF IT DOES THOSE TWO SPACES THAT ARE CURRENTLY DEDICATED TO THE FEC UH, UM BRIDGE MONITORS COULD RETURN AND THEN BE DEDICATED TO THE FISHERMEN. NOW I WILL TELL YOU THAT NO ONE HAS VERIFIED THAT A SINGLE FISHERMAN ACTUALLY LIVES IN STEWART. SO I MEAN, LIKE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS DEDICATION OF SPACES TO THE FISHERMEN LIKE THEY WHO ARE RESIDENTS. I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY AREN'T OK, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MIKE. YOU. II. I DIDN'T UM I WASN'T LOOKING TO. IN THIS CONVERSATION. THE PARKING AGREEMENT AT ALL. MY THOUGHT PROCESS WAS MORE. YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE SPACES ARE SO, I. I APPRECIATE THIS CONVERSATION COMING UP BECAUSE I COULD KIND OF LOOK AT THIS IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL AND SEE THE AGREEMENT. AND UM I MY THOUGHTS ARE HAVING SIGNAGE. ON EITHER SIDE OF THAT LINE. SO WHATEVER THAT CARVE OUT IS EXACTLY SO THAT KIND OF SERVE TWO PURPOSES. I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT NEBULOUS EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BEYOND JUST NOT ENOUGH PARKING DOWN THERE AND AT CERTAIN TIMES, SO WITH REGARD TO THEIR AGREEMENT AND JUST ENFORCING IT SO THAT MAYBE CONES DON'T DRIFT OUTSIDE OF THAT ZONE , HAVING A DEFINED SIGNAGE ON BOTH SIDES OF THAT. YOU KNOW WHERE IT SAYS. SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF I. I ALMOST IMAGINE LIKE AT THE BEACH WHERE IT'S YOU KNOW, SWIMMING, NO SWIM. BUT WHERE THERE IS A ZONE THAT IS VALET. YOU KNOW THE THAT LAYS OUT THE TIME FRAMES WHEN IT IS VALET, AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, LETS RESIDENTS KNOW THAT IT'S FREE PARKING. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PATRON. UM E, EVEN AT THAT SPOT RIGHT THERE, UM, BEYOND OTHER SIGNAGE THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED, SO IT'S JUST PAINFULLY OBVIOUS WHAT IS HAPPENING, AND AT WHAT TIME DOWN THERE? TO WHERE YOU'RE KIND OF ABOVE APPROACH, AND NOBODY COULD SAY THAT THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW BECAUSE EVEN DRIVE PAST THAT AND WALK IN THE PAST THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT SIGNAGE CLEARLY ON BOTH SIDES OF THAT.

WAS WAS GONNA BE MY RECOMMENDATION TOWARDS TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THAT WAS ALL.

THEN WE COMMENT. THANK YOU. SO JUST BEFORE I MAKE MY COMMENTS. I JUST WANNA BE CLEAR BECAUSE THE STATEMENT WAS MADE FROM THE DICE THAT HIS AGREEMENT ALLOWS HIM TO OPERATE A VALET THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. IT'S ACTUALLY MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, ISN'T IT? I IT, SAYS ONE ITEM ONE. THE LICENSEE AGREES TO PROVIDE VALET SERVICE MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. HAS THAT? HAS THAT BEEN SUPERSEDED BY A DOCUMENT THAT I DON'T SEE OR JUST WANNA. I JUST WANNA BE CLEAR THAT THEN THE PUBLIC KNOWS THAT HE HAS AND IT SAYS AND ALSO I BELIEVE LAST WEEK OR TWO WEEKS AGO IT WAS. IT SAID THAT HE COULD PUT THE CONES OUT AT THREE O'CLOCK. IT'S ACTUALLY FOUR O'CLOCK. IT WAS.

IT WAS ALWAYS FOUR O'CLOCK. UM THEY SAID THEY WERE OUT AT THREE O'CLOCK, BUT WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY SEEN THEM OUT OF THREE. UM AND I THINK THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY AT THE MEETING. I THINK IT WAS

[00:45:02]

ORIGINALLY DISCUSSED. MONDAY BUT WHEN IT ACTUALLY GOT IMPLEMENTED , IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THURSDAY.

NOW I DO THINK THE AGREEMENT AUTHORIZES IT FOR AS MUCH AS MONDAY, BUT IT'S NEVER BEEN ENOUGH OF A DEMAND TO EVEN GO MONDAY, TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY, BUT HE HAS THE RIGHT TO DO IT, AND SO YEAH, IN DISCUSSING THIS YOU KNOW IT IS IT'S THE SUPPLY ISSUE WHEN HE'S IMPACTED AS I UNDERSTAND NOW. BY THE VALET PARKING UH, AT SAILORS RETURN AND THEIR PARKING OVER THERE IN THOSE AND YOU KNOW SPACES RIGHT IN FRONT. OF HIS RESTAURANT, SO IT'S THERE'S OBVIOUSLY NO IDEAL SOLUTION HERE. UM I ASSUME BOTH THOSE VERY SUCCESSFUL RESTAURANTS ARE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN. THE PRESENCE OF THIS ITEM ON THE AGENDA, I THINK SERVES OUR PURPOSE. FIRST OF ALL THE PUBLIC IS AWARE OF THE AGREEMENT. WE HAVE WITH MR MEDICIS. AND WE CERTAINLY WILL BE PAYING CLOSER ATTENTION THAT HE CONFORMS TO THE AGREEMENT. UM AND I'M SURE HE'LL ACT IN THE BEST MANNER POSSIBLE AND I AGREE . WE DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO HAMPER THEIR ABILITY TO OPERATE THESE BUSINESSES. IT'S A DIFFICULT SITUATION AND IT'S NOT ONE THEY CREATED IT. THAT'S THE SITUATION WE FIND OURSELVES IN. IN THIS PART OF OUR CITY, SO THANK YOU. ANOTHER MAN, CAN I, UM I GUESS I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. THAT WE NOT DO ANYTHING WITH RESOLUTION NUMBER 37 2024.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE AGENDA, OR WE JUST, UH, JUST REMOVE IT FROM THE AGENDA.

YOU DON'T MAKE A MOTION. OK SO JUST OK, SO FINE. SO WE'RE GONNA DO THAT? WE DISCUSS IT, BUT I'D LIKE TO MAKE A STATEMENT. PRIOR TO THIS MEETING. WE HAD THE UM AND IT'S RELATED. SO I'M CONTINUING WITH THIS. EVEN THOUGH THIS MOTION WE'RE GONNA BE REMOVING THIS. WE HAD THE CR A MEETING. WE TALKED ABOUT THE DOWNTOWN. I THINK ALL OF US WHEN WE RUN FOR OFFICE. WE TALK ABOUT TRANSPARENCY. WE TALK ABOUT ALL KINDS OF STUFF, AND I THINK WE DO NEED TO LOOK AT JUST NOT SAY OK, WORKS ON US ALL TO HAVE PARKING EXEMPT AND PEOPLE YOU KNOW, PARK SOMEWHERE AND THEY COME ONTO THE SHOPS THAT ARE THERE IN OSCEOLA AND EVERYTHING KIND OF WORKS OUT. OK AND THERE EMPLOYEES PARK SOMEWHERE ELSE. AND MAYBE BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN THERE A LONG TIME WHEN WE HAD THE PROPERTY, WHICH WAS COMING UP ON THREE ON 100, COLORADO. THEY'RE WITHDRAWING NOW. BUT THEN THE TRIANGLE PARTS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT EARLIER IN THE CR A MEETING FOR OTHERS. WE YES, WE MAY HAVE, UH PARKING GARAGE WHEN THE TRAIN STATION COMES, IF WE IF THAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS, WE MAY HAVE THAT, BUT HONESTLY, WE NEED TO BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES AND LOOK AT PARKING, PARKING EXEMPT OR WHAT IT IS THAT WE'RE DOING AND LET THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GONNA DEVELOP AND LET THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO DRIVE AND BE IN DOWNTOWN AND WORKING DOWNTOWN. WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO LEAVE DOWNTOWN AND SAY, I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE MY OFFICE HERE BECAUSE OF XYZ, AND WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO NOT COME TO A BUSINESS BECAUSE OF XYZ, SO WE REALLY NEED TO BE HONEST AND FIGURE OUT SOMETHING AND GIVE THE PEOPLE SOMETHING, WHETHER OR NOT IT'S I KNOW THAT WE'RE TRYING. WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT COMMITMENT WITH WITH REGARD TO THE TRAIN STATION, BUT THERE ARE OTHER AREAS AND THERE ARE OTHER THINGS AND WE NEED TO HAVE STAFF LOOK SERIOUSLY INTO THIS MATTER AND LOOK SERIOUSLY INTO A PARKING EXEMPT ZONES. INTO ZONES THAT COULD BE REDEVELOPED, BUT THEY NEED TO HAVE THE OPTION AND THE COLLATERAL A PARKING GARAGE SOMEWHERE ELSE OR HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO GET THAT TO USE THOSE 450 SPACES IF THEY COME UP AT THE, UM AT THE COURTHOUSE HERE, BUT IT JUST NEEDS TO BE SAID, AND IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND WE HAVE LOTS OF AREAS THAT ARE GOING TO BE REDEVELOPED AND WILL BE COMING IN WITH THIS PIECEMEAL EFFECT OR PEOPLE START THEIR BUSINESS. IS HAVE A HUGE CONTRACT AND A HUGE COMMITMENT LIKE MR MANUKA AND A TECHNICALLY IT BENEFITS THE CITY. IT BENEFITS ALL OF US. IT'S A TAX BASE, AND WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK SERIOUSLY AT IT AND HAVE OUR STAFF LOOK AT SOME THINGS.

UH AND I'M NOT GIVING ANY INSTRUCTIONS NOW, BUT I'M JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE THAT WE

[00:50:03]

NEED TO GET OUR MINDS WRAPPED AROUND THIS ISSUE. COMMISSIONER COHN JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. MAKING SURE WE'RE NOT APPROVING THINGS WE CAN'T PARK AND NOT LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS ALL AROUND THE CITY. THE PARK CERTAIN PROJECTS AND YOU KNOW? AND, UM NOT INDICTING ANY OF US, BUT JUST GOING FORWARD. YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT MAKING SURE THAT WHAT COMES IN FRONT OF US CAN BE PARKED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MISS HELEN MCBRIDE. YOU COME SPEAK TO US, HELEN. ELLEN MCBRIDE, FLAMINGO AVENUE. FIRST OF ALL YOU CAN ASK MR LEGGETT, PETE JIM. I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE COME TO ME WITH THEIR PROBLEMS. I'M NOT THE CITY. I TELL THEM. I'M I'M NOT CITY HALL , BUT THEY DO KNOW I WILL INVESTIGATE. AND IF I CAN HELP MY NECK BEERS, I WILL. AND I THANK YOU. YOU DID READ THE CONTRACT. MRS. MR RICH. AND IT IS IT'S JUST A MONEY, BUT THE ONE THING IS IT SAYS THE CONES. DON'T GO OUT TO FOUR O'CLOCK.

SO IF I HAVE A PROBLEM AT MY HOUSE OR THING, CODE ENFORCEMENT IS RIGHT THERE. YOU GIVE ME A FINE THIS MAN SIGNED A CONTRACT. IT'S NOT WE, THE PEOPLE WHO TOLD THEM TO BUILD THAT WE ALL LIKE THE PELICAN LITTLE RESTAURANT. HE HE'S GOT YOU GET. WE GAVE HIM A FANTASTIC DEAL. THAT'S A FANTASTIC BUILDING. HE'S ALWAYS GONNA MAKE MONEY. AND AS FAR AS THE FISHERMEN GO, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO AND MIKE, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY THIS. WALK DOWN ON THE FISHING PIER AND TALK TO THE FISHERMEN AND THE FISHER LADIES.

THEY'RE THE NICEST PEOPLE. THAT'S HOW I GET A LOT OF MY INFORMATION. I TAKE A WALK DOWN THERE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE IT'S KIND OF PAINFUL. SOMETIMES I TALK TO PEOPLE. AND THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING YOU ALL SIT UP THERE AND YOU SAY, OH, WE'RE GONNA DO THIS. AND HERE'S A NICE CONTRACT. OH, IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL. AND THEN BENGAL. NOW AS FAR AS THE BALLET AND I SPOKE TO YOU ABOUT THIS, MIKE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ON THAT PARK VALET PARKING, COMPLIMENTARY BALLET PARKING. THEN NOT ONLY WE, THE PEOPLE BUT OUR GUESTS, THE TOURISTS, THEY COME DOWN. OH, IT'S BALLET PARKING. I DON'T HAVE TO GO INTO THAT RESTAURANT. I CAN GO UP AND SHOP ON OSCEOLA.

IT'S A SIMPLE THING, AND THEY CAN'T PUT THE COMPLIMENTARY YOU CAN JUST THE PRE BALLET PARKING.

I KNOW AT THE DOCTOR'S I GO TO THE SIGN SAYS COMPLIMENTARY BALLET PARKING. THAT'S ALL WE'RE ASKING. TREAT US AS THEIR EQUAL JUST BECAUSE HE SPENT TWO. I DON'T CARE IF HE SPENT $6 MILLION. THAT'S THAT WAS HIS. HE WANTED TO DO IT. WORDS STAIN IS IN THE STORIES. WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE FISHERMEN? IT WAS THE BALLET PARKING AND WHOEVER CAME OUT OF, UH HUDSON IS THE RIVER.

THEY CALLED THE POLICE. THAT'S THAT'S YEAH, I DO MY HOMEWORK. SO YOU KNOW, IT'S NICE. YOU CAN STAND UP THERE. I KNOW EVERYONE'S RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION AND GIVE A BIG SPEECH ABOUT YOU'RE HERE FOR THE BUSINESS. ANYONE KNOWS AN ASTEROID. I'VE BEEN HERE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING FIGHTING FOR THE BUSINESS IN DOWNTOWN, SO I'M NOT BUT YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO SAY TO PEOPLE WHO COME UP TO ME AND SAY, HELEN CAN YOU COULD DO A WANT TO MRS MCBRIDE. LET ME TELL YOU AND I SAY, WELL, I CAN LOOK INTO IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN DO. YOU SHOULD CALL THE COMMISSIONERS AND THAT'S WHAT THEY SHOULD CALL. BUT AS LONG AS PEOPLE APPROACH ME AND ASK ME THIS TIME. I JUST TONIGHT THERE WAS A NEIGHBOR ON 13TH STREET. THEY WERE HAVING SOME PROBLEMS, AND PETE'S GONNA LOOK IN AT PETER'S GONNA LOOK INTO IT FOR THEM. BUT I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE. AND I'M GONNA CONTINUE. I WILL FIGHT FOR THE LITTLE GUY. I DON'T WANNA SIT UP THERE LIKE WERE. YOU ARE ALWAYS TELL YOU THAT I HAVE MORE POWER DOWN HERE. AND I AND YOU, YOU HAVE UP THERE BUT STOP! DON'T BE LELA US PEOPLE THAT WE WANT OUR FREEDOM WE WANT WHAT IS OURS? COMPLEMENTARY THE L A PARKING. THAT'S ALL. THEY WERE LIKE, YOU SAID, AND BRING THE SIGN UP CLOSER. IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF HUDSON DOWN THE RIVER, SO OUR TOURISTS WILL SAY, OH, WE GOTTA GO TO THAT RESTAURANT. WHAT IF HE BROUGHT IT UP TO THE BEGINNING OF THE CIRCLE? THEN YOU TELL COMPLIMENTARY PARKING. AND IF THEY WANT A TIP, YOU CAN TIP BUT THANK YOU. THANK YOU, HELEN. THANK YOU. OK, I THINK THAT, UH THANK YOU. THERE'S SOMEBODY WITHOUT A CARD YOU HAVE TO GET. YES. YES, MA'AM. YOU CAN YOU CAN COME SPEAK. AND DIDN'T FEEL OUT YOUR GREEN CARD. YES,

[00:55:01]

MA'AM. A LOT OF YES, I'M JUST SITTING THERE. I'M REMINDING MY NAME'S MISSY HARRIS, AMANDA WAY.

UM WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE HOTEL COMING ON COLORADO THEY WERE SAYING WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO USE THE PARKING UNDERNEATH THE BIG FINANCIAL BUILDING. WHAT MY THOUGHT IS YES. HAVING MORE SHUTTLES BACK AND FORTH. AND WHAT THEY DO IN THE SMALL TOWNS UP IN MAINE. YOU GET A TICKET WHEN YOU'RE ON THIS SHUTTLE? AND THEY PUNCH YOUR TICKET AND THEN YOU IF YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL UP ON THE SHUTTLE. YOU GET 5% OFF YOUR DINNER. OR YOU GET 5% OFF OF YOUR FIRST PURCHASE. THEY MAKE IT SO THAT IT'S WORTHWHILE AND YOU STILL GET THE PEOPLE COMING TO TOWN. I MEAN, WE HAVE THE, UM WELLS FARGO BUILDING PARKING LOT. WE HAVE UM, WHAT ELSE WAS I THINKING? WE HAVE OTHER AREAS THAT WE COULD VALET IF WE GET THE VALET TO GO FAR AWAY. THEN WE'VE GOT YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE WAITING, BUT THAT'S OK WITH THEM. YOU KNOW IF THE VALET MAN TELLS HIM, MOM, IT'S GONNA BE 10 MINUTES AND HE'S GOT A SCOOTER AND HE HAS TO, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE GOING TO GET BACK AND FORTH, BUT IT JUST CAME TO ME THAT THAT'S WHAT THEY DO IN THE COASTAL TOWNS IN THE YOU KNOW ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. I MEAN, I'VE BEEN AROUND, SO I RECOMMEND THAT YOU KNOW. BUT WE USE MORE OF THE SHUTTLE. WHICH WOULD BE ANOTHER EXPENSE FOR THE CITY. SO THAT'S MY SUGGESTION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE HAVE THE SHADOW IS BEING USED MORE AND MORE. IT'S REALLY GROWING. ACTUALLY, I SHOULD ALSO POINT OUT TO THE BOARD. THAT THE CITY OF STUART HAS NEVER EVER HAD A SUFFICIENT ENOUGH DEMAND ON PARKING TO CHARGE FOR IT. YOU TALK ABOUT THE COASTAL TOWNS. IT'S NOT JUST COASTAL TOWNS. IT'S ALMOST EVERY OTHER TOWN OR CITY THAT HAS ANY TYPE OF DEMAND FOR PARKING RESOLVES IT BY PUTTING PARKING METERS UP. WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR PARKING AT ALL, AND THAT'S WHY PEOPLE ARE COMFORTABLE LEAVING THEIR CARS THERE FOR FIVE AND SIX HOURS AT A TIME. IF YOU GO TO VERO BEACH IF YOU GO TO WEST PALM, IF YOU GO TO OTHER ALL THE COASTAL CITIES IN MAINE DURING THE SUMMER IN NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND OR CAPE COD, OR ANY OF THE, UH, EASTERN SEABOARD. CITIES. THEY ALL CHARGE FOR PARKING. TO OFFSET THE DEMAND OF NAPLES ON FIFTH STREET, ALL CHARGED FOR PARKING. WE HAVE 100% FREE PARKING EVERYWHERE. THE FEEDBACK I GET FROM THE CONSULTANTS IS THAT THAT MEANS WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A PARKING PROBLEM. WE HAVE ONE MORE, MR FOSTER. AND FOSTER. HELLO. MY NAME'S BEN FOSTER. I I'M THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS FOR HUDSON'S ON THE RIVER. UM I JUST WANTED TO STATE A COUPLE OF FACTUAL THINGS ABOUT THE VALLEY PARKING. UH, WE ACTUALLY THERE IS A SIGN RIGHT ON THE FRONT OF THE BALLET STAND THAT DOES SAY, COMPLIMENTARY VALET PARKING. WE INSTRUCT THE VALET COMPANY THAT THEY PARK ANYBODY THAT COMES TO THEM. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE THEY'RE GOING. THEY CAN GO FISHING. THEY CAN GO TO SAILORS RETURN. THEY CAN GO TO ANY OF THE OTHER BUSINESSES IN STEWART AND WE PARKED THEIR CARS FOR THEM. THE ONLY THING THAT THE VALLEY COMPANY HAS REQUESTED FROM US IS THAT THE VALET COMPANY THEMSELVES PARK THOSE CARS BECAUSE IN THOSE IT CONED AREAS THAT THAT WE HAVE, THE VALLEY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY CAR THERE.

SO IF SOMEBODY BACKS INTO THE CAR, THEN THE VALLEY COMPANY BE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT CAR. SO THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT IS ASKED OF SOME GUESTS THAT HAVE PULLED UP AND REFUSED TO VALET PARK AND THINK THAT THEY CAN PARK THEMSELVES. THE ONLY THING THAT WE ASK IS WE'RE HAPPY TO PARK THEIR CAR FOR FREE AT NO CHARGE, BUT WE JUST ASK THAT THE VALET PARKS THE CAR FOR THEM. I KNOW THE MEDICIS FAMILY HAS HAS ALSO, YOU KNOW, PUT MONEY INTO DOWNTOWN. WE ARE BUSINESS. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OTHER BUSINESSES IN STEWART AND IN THIS COMMUNITY AND WE DONATE A LOT OF MONEY TO CHARITY. WE ARE ENGAGED WITH THE COMMUNITY. OUR EMPLOYEES MAKE MONEY BY COMING TO WORK. AND WITHOUT THAT VALLEY ON THURSDAY, FRIDAY SATURDAY NIGHT THAT WILL DRAMATICALLY HURT OUR BUSINESS AND IT WILL HURT OUR STAFF. AND THESE ARE WORKING MOTHERS AND WORKING FATHERS, SO THEY RELY ON OUR GUESTS TO BE ABLE TO PARK AND A LOT OF OUR GUESTS ARE ELDERLY. A LOT. OUR AVERAGE CUSTOMERS 60 YEARS OLD, SO IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE ACCESS TO VALLEY PARK, THEY WILL NOT COME TO OUR RESTAURANT. AND THAT WILL HURT NOT ONLY FORGET THE OWNERS OF THE RESTAURANT, IT WILL HURT OUR STAFF AND THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND THEY WORK VERY HARD AND THEY WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. OK, MR FOSTER AT FOUR O'CLOCK FOUR O'CLOCK CONE THURSDAY, FRIDAY SATURDAY AND ONCE WE GET OUT OF SEASON WE DON'T REALLY USE VALET. I UNDERSTAND. THE CONTRACT WAS MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY. IF

[01:00:04]

THERE IF THE BUSINESS DOES WARRANT IT, WE WILL PUT BALLET THERE. BUT SOMETIMES IT'S NOT THERE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT. WE DO IT ON THOSE THOSE NIGHTS THAT MATTER THE MOST TO US. WE WANTED TO DO SUNDAY BRUNCH, BUT OBVIOUSLY WE CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE OF THE GREEN MARKET, WHICH WE UNDERSTAND. SO THAT'S WHY WE DON'T YOU KNOW WE DIDN'T ASK FOR THAT. BECAUSE THAT'S YOU KNOW, THE GREEN MARKETS PARKING AND THEY TAKE UP MOST. THE PARKING ON THAT SUNDAY. YOU KNOW, WE DO BENEFIT. NO DOUBT WE CAN BENEFIT FROM THAT. BUT SOMETIMES IT DOES HURT AND WE HAVE SOME CANCELLATIONS ON RESER RESERVATIONS BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN PARKING, SO THEY HAVE TO CANCEL THEIR RESERVATION, AND THEY THEY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU. UH, MISS. NOW THAT THEY'VE BROUGHT THAT UP, WOULD MR MORTEL. WOULD IT BE A TIME TO CHANGE THAT AGREEMENT TO BE A MINIMUM OF XYZ INSTEAD OF SAYING THAT MONDAY THROUGH SOLDIERS SO THAT WE DON'T END UP WITH A VIOLATION SITUATION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. I NEITHER UH , WITH LIKE, THREE OR FOUR DAYS THAT THEY MUST HAVE VALET PARKING THE KEY DAYS, THE CRITICAL DAYS OR SHOULD IT BE FROM MONDAY THROUGH, LET ME SEE WHAT IT SAID. IT'S NOT LET IT BE OPTIONAL AND REQUIRE THEM TO HAVE THE VALET. LET ME SEE WHAT IT SAYS. IT SAYS, UM, THE LICENSE AGREES TO PROVIDE VALET SERVICE MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 5 TO 10 P.M. AND HE'S SAYING THAT THEY'RE NOT DOING IT EVERY EVERY SINGLE DAY. THEY DON'T DO IT ON MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. RIGHT BUT IT SAYS TO PROVIDE VALET SERVICE MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. GUESS WHAT WE SAYING? THERE'S NO NEED TO CHANGE. SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS YOU WANT ME TO SAY THAT THEY'RE IN BREACH IF THEY DON'T PROVIDE IT WELL OR JUST PUT THE DAYS ACTUAL DAYS YOU'RE SAYING THAT THEY'RE ONLY DOING THURSDAY, FRIDAY SATURDAY ARE THEY DOING MONDAY? TUESDAY WEDNESDAY NO, HE'S SAYING THAT THEY'RE NOT. BUT IT SAYS HE AGREES TO PROVIDE VALET SERVICE MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. CAN I ANSWER THE QUESTION REAL QUICK. HELP YOU TELL ME HOW IT WORKS. SINCE THE BALLET IS COMPLIMENTARY, WE DO PAY THE BALLET COMPANY. BUT THE GENTLEMAN OR THE EMPLOYEES THAT WORK THE BALLET COMPANY THE WAY THAT THEY MAKE MONEY IS OFF OF TIPS. SO IF THERE'S NOT ENOUGH CARS TO PARK, THEY DON'T MAKE ANY MONEY. AND SO IT DOESN'T BEHOOVE THEM TO WORK. SO THAT'S HOW THE VALET ANY COMPLIMENTARY VALET SERVICE. THAT'S HOW IT WORKS, SO WE PAY THE COMPANY TO SUPPLY THE BALLET, BUT THE VALET ATTENDANT THEMSELVES MAKE MAKE TIPS OFF OF THAT. SO IT'S WE CAN DO IT OTHER DAYS, BUT IT JUST WE'RE NOT AS BUSY AND IT DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT I ALSO IF I CAN CHIME IN, I THINK WHAT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE IS MR MEDICIS HAD NEVER HAD BALLET BEFORE. UH, THIS UH GANDHI. SABDE HAD IMPLEMENTED A PARKING VALET SYSTEM WHERE CITY HALL WAS BEING USED THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS. ALL OF CITY HALL OUT HERE WAS BLOCKED OFF WITH COMBS. AND SO THE CONTRACT FOR THE CITY HALL VALET WAS PROBABLY WHAT WAS ADOPTED. BY MR METICAIS. SO WHEN IT SAYS HE AGREES TO PROVIDE THAT WAS WHAT WAS BEING DONE WHEN THE CITY ITSELF WAS BLOCKING CITY HALL OFF FOR VALET PARKING. PRE COVID. THERE WAS NO WHEN THE WHEN THE BOARD NEGOTIATED WITH MR MA, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY HAD AN EXPECTATION THAT THAT THEY WERE MANDATING THAT HE PROVIDE VALET PARKING, EVEN IF NOBODY'S THERE. MONDAY THROUGH THROUGH SATURDAY. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, I CAN CERTAINLY TALKED TO HIM ABOUT THAT. BUT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE COMMISSION WAS THE OPPOSITE. AND YOU GUYS DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE VALET PARKING THERE AND HAVE THE CONES UP EVERY DAY. NOT A IS. IS THERE ANY TRACTION FROM UM THE OTHERS OF YOU TO HAVE SIGNAGE THERE RIGHT AT THAT LINE. THAT'S AN ATTACHMENT, A I I'M GONNA DO THAT, ANYWAY. ALL RIGHT. I SEE NO OTHER COMMENTS ANY MORE FROM THE PUBLIC. AND WE HAVE NO MOTION SO WE WILL MOVE ON. ORDINATE SECOND READING AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY OF

[7. AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY OF STUART'S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND CODE OF ORDINANCES (RC): ORDINANCE No. 2525-2024; AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA AMENDING CHAPTER VIII OF THE CITY OF STUART’S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE (ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT); AND AMENDING PART II, CHAPTERS 2 AND 32 OF THE CITY OF STUART’S CODE OF ORDINANCES; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF PRIOR ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS; INCORPORATION INTO THE CODE; SEVERABILITY; EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

STEWARTS LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND CODE OF ORDINANCES. SURE, MADAM MAYOR, UM ORDINANCE NUMBER 2525-2 24, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER EIGHT OF THE CITY OF STUART'S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. WHICH IS ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT AND AMENDING PART TWO CHAPTERS TWO AND 32. OF THE CITY OF STUART'S CODE OF ORDINANCES.

PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF PRIOR ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS. IN CORPORATION INTO THE CODE. SEVERABILITY, EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. AND, UH, THIS I CAN

[01:05:08]

TAKE THIS ONE. AS YOU RECALL. LAST TIME WE WERE HERE FOR THE FIRST READING. I. I, UM REITERATED TO Y'ALL WHAT WE WERE DOING AS WE WERE MAINLY AND A CONSOLIDATING. WE HAD BYLAWS AND RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR ALL OF OUR ADVISORY BOARDS IN LAKE 34 PLACES WE HAD BYLAWS, WHICH WERE NOT IN OUR CODE. AND WE HAD SOME BYLAWS THAT WERE IN OUR CODE. SO WHAT I DID IS I TOOK ALL OF THE BYLAWS AND ALL OF THE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND CONSOLIDATED THEM IN ONE PLACE INSTEAD OF HAVING THEM IN THREE PLACES AND SOME PLACES WHICH IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ANYBODY TO SEE. UM AND, UM, WE DISCUSSED THAT LAST TIME. BUT SINCE THE FIRST READING THE LEGIS, FLORIDA STATE LEGISLATURE PASSED A NEW LAW. UM AND IT'S HOUSE BILL 601 AND, UH, PASS THE SENATE AS WELL. AND, UH, IT. AMENDS FLORIDA STATUTE SECTION 112533. IN THIS AMENDMENT TO THE STATUTE, IT WAS THE INTENT OF THE LEGISLATURE. TO MAKE THE PROCESS FOR RECEIVING PROCESSING AND INVESTING. UM INVESTIGATION OF COMPLAINTS AGAINST LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS. AND THE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES WHILE UNDER INVESTIGATION APPLY UNIFORMLY THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS. SO THEY WERE TRYING. I GUESS THEY WERE TOO MANY. UM VARIOUS LAWS AND SETTING UP OF ADVISORY BOARDS, LIKE WE HAD THAT THEY WANTED TO APPLY UNIFORMLY THROUGHOUT THE STATE. UH, AND THE BILL IN THE STATUTE WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE JULY 1ST. UM THE BILL WILL PREVENT US FROM ADOPTING OR ATTEMPTING TO ENFORCE ANY ORDINANCE. RELATED TO THE RECEIPT, PROCESSING AND INVESTIGATION. OF COMPLAINTS OF MISCONDUCT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. AND SO, UM, PART OF OUR CODE OF ORDINANCES HAD TO DO WITH THE STEWART INDEPENDENT REVIEW BOARD. AND SO WHAT WE HAD DONE IS SINCE THE FIRST READING. I DID NOT DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU IN THE FIRST READING, BUT SINCE THEN THIS WAS PASSED MARCH 7TH.

AND LIKE I SAID, IT COMES EFFECTIVE. THE JULY 1 BUT SINCE WE'RE AMENDING THIS PART OF THE CODE ANYWAY, WE WENT AHEAD AND REMOVED. UH THE, UH, SECTIONS OF OUR ORDINANCE THAT DEALS WITH THE STEWART INDEPENDENT REVIEW BOARD. UH, BECAUSE IT WILL BE, UH WE WON'T BE ABLE TO ENFORCE IT AS OF JULY 1ST OF THIS YEAR ANYWAY, SO JUST ELIMINATES THE CORRECT. I'LL VOTE FOR APPROVAL.

IT'S LIKE A. WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER CLARK. I THE COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE. YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS. SEE THAT OK, ROLL CALL.

COMMISSIONER CLARK. YES MAYOR BRUNER. YES NICE TO MEET YOU. RICH YES, COMMISSIONER MCDONALD AND COMMISSIONER COLLINS. WE WERE AT, UM THE, UH AFRICAN HAS WITHDRAWN. FOR 101 SOUTH COLORADO RESTAURANT, UH, REZONED TO URBAN PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL. SO THAT IS IT? UM NO, UH, FIRST READING ANY DISCUSSION DELIBERATION? WE DON'T HAVE ANY. THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED. THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR.
